Autodermoplasty with a skin flap is the main surgical solution for traumatic wounds of the skin and soft tissues. Split-skin grafting is a routine reconstructive technique associated with large variation in practice. To date, the technique of skin grafting with a skin flap has been brought to perfection mainly by the efforts of specialists – combustiologists. The authors have identified a number of features of autodermoplasty with a skin flap. Split-skin grafting for complex traumatic wounds of the skin and soft tissues was performed in 50 patients, good functional and cosmetic results were obtained.

Published: May 2022

Deep Learning has indeed been widely used in many fields/areas of medicinal images classification, and a large number of publications have been published documenting its success. The key for achieving effective diagnosis and therapy is accurate characterization of medical pictures. However, because image interpretation is highly dependent on the subjective opinion of doctors, the results of image processing vary greatly amongst clinicians at different levels. Picture classification, target identification, and image analysis have all improved dramatically in recent years with environmental image data sets in domain of Image Processing. In this paper, we have presented a systematic survey on feature extracting and classifying the medical images using deep learning methods. Two new ideas are presented in this work. First and foremost, we classified presently trendy publications in a multi-level configuration. Second, this research article concentrates on supervised and poorly supervised learning techniques.

Published: May 2022

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a commonly encountered micro vascular disorder in ophthalmic outpatient department. It is estimated that approximately 191 million people may be suffering from this disorder by year 2030. (3) The rapid increase in number of persons with Diabetes is expected to lead to an increase in number of persons with ocular complications of diabetes. The prevalence of retinopathy changes in diabetic patients varies considerably, but is probably 20 to 30 % and out of it, 3-4% cases are of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.(4) Diabetic Retinopathy has been studied extensively in past about its effect on vision, different pathologies, incidence, prevalence, risk factors, its various diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities.(5-9) However the correlation of proliferative diabetic retinopathy with hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetic nephropathy and its prognosis has not been studied adequately which warrants further studies. These risk factors once accurately identified and appropriately controlled at an early stage, progression of diabetic retinopathy and its subsequent effect on vision can be effectively controlled. Aims and objectives: To study the clinical profile, presentation of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients and its correlation with hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetic nephropathy.

Background:Malaria remains a substantial health problem in many parts of world, especially in the tropical developing nations. Management of malaria requires early and accurate diagnosis. The aim of this study was to measure and compare the diagnostic accuracy of different methods of diagnosis of malaria and to study the limitations mostly due to low parasite density. We also evaluate the haematological changes in malaria patients.Material and methods: The study was conducted on blood samples of patients presenting with pyrexia, attending the various Departments of VSS Institute of Medical Science &Research,Burla, Sambalpur. Blood samples were subjected to thick and thin blood smear examination, QBC method and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs). Haematological parameters including haemoglobin, total leukocyte count, differential count and total platelet count of malaria positive cases were studied. Results: Out of 186 cases of fever, 105 patients were positive for malaria by thick peripheral blood smears. Plasmodium falciparum constitutes 86.66% whereas P. vivax and mixed infections constitute 8.57% and 4.77% respectively of total malaria . The sensitivity of QBC test approached 100% with parasite densities above 500/cu.mm.Antigen detection method was found to be highly sensitive (92.70%) for the diagnosis of P. falciparum infection.
Divergence, vorticity and vertical motion in the fields of winter and monsoon circulations over India
Authors: SAJNANI PP 
Published: May 2022

Using upper wind data of 69 pilot balloon and rawin stations in India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon, multi-level fields of divergence, vorticity and vertical motion have been computed on five consecutive days in the months of January and July 1958 to study the winter and monsoon circulations over the Indian region. Computations have been made at 37 grid points 2.5 degrees apart, with the help of a digital computer. A filtering technique was used to smoothen the observed winds so as to filter out noise.

The study provides a convenient method of computing divergence directly from observed winds instead of doing so indirectly thi:'i5ugh the vorticity equation.. The computed values of divergence and vorticity show that the two are of comparable magnitude. Examination of the divergence fields does not reveal narrow bands of convergence. characteristic of well defined frontal systems. The distribution of vertical velocities in the monsoon field indicates the existence of a source region over the eastern half of India and a sink over the western half.

Authors: BANERJEE AK , SHARMA KK , CHOWDHURY AB 
Published: May 2022

In association with downdrafts from thunderclouds, an abrupt and abnormal rise in surface temperature of the order of 5 to 60C was recorded at Nagpur and Visakhapatnam on two different days during summer season and with this abrupt rise, the surface temperature touched once again the day’s maximum temperature at these two places recorded earlier in the afternoon. These two cases are described in this paper and a plausible explanation for the abrupt rise in temperature is also presented.

Published: May 2022

The cumulative frequency distribution of rainfall of different intensities during southwest monsoon is studied for twenty stations in India, The distribution is found to be exponential in all the cases.

The equation y = ae-bX (where y is the cumulative frequency of daily rainfall exceeding an amount X and a, b are constants) is very satisfactorily found to fit the data, The curve has been fitted to the observed data by the method of least squares, It has also been shown that the constants a and b can be found from the number of rainy days and the total seasonal rainfall.

The variations of the parameters a and b with rainfall and number of rainy days are discussed.

Symptoms to surgery: factors associated with delays to carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic stenosis in an Irish tertiary vascular centre
Authors: Foley MP 
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is the accepted treatment for stroke risk reduction in patients with symptomatic 50–99% carotid artery stenosis. Best practice guidelines recommend surgery be performed within 14 days of index symptoms to achieve maximum benefit; however, achieving this target can be difficult. Late presentation and presentation to hospitals without onsite vascular capabilities are two recurring reasons for delayed CEA across the literature. Methods: All symptomatic CEAs performed between January 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively extracted from an electronic institutional database and analysed to determine the proportion of CEAs meeting benchmark targets and to assess factors contributing to delays. Results: A total of 124 CEAs were performed for 62 strokes and 62 transient ischaemic	attacks (TIAs); 71.8% (n=89) were male and the median (range) age was 71.0 years (43–88). The median delay between initial symptom and CEA was 14 days (range 1–183). Sixty-six patients (55%) had surgery within 14 days of the index symptom. Patients presenting with ‘Face Arms Speech Time’ (FAST) symptoms were significantly more likely to undergo timely CEA, largely due to earlier presentation to hospital (p=0.021, OR 2.563, 95% CI 1.143 to 5.747). Presentation directly to a tertiary vascular centre was significantly associated with	CEA within 14 days compared with referrals from external hospitals (p=0.002), with a	median symptom-to-surgery interval of 12.0 days and 25.0 days, respectively (p=0.001) Conclusions: Our results are comparable to UK and Australian national audits, although a significant number of CEAs fell outside the 14-day target. Protected pathways between referring hospitals and vascular centres are needed to ensure all patients have equal access to urgent CEA. Designating CEA within 14 days as a key performance indicator for stroke management will hopefully incentivise hospitals to expedite this high-risk cohort. Furthermore, re-auditing with an emphasis on patients turned down for intervention due to recurrent events while awaiting CEA may further highlight the need to prioritise symptomatic carotids.

Biochemical and physiological characterizations of Rhizobium-Pea (Pisum sativum L.) symbiotic association under abiotic constraints
Authors: Ouerghi Khadija , Bagues Mohamed , Bouaziz Sifi 
Published: May 2022

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important leguminous for the agricultural sector. It is a source of biological nitrogen that efficiently contributes to the soil fertility. In Tunisia, low pea production is due to bad nitrogen management, lack of phosphorus availability and to the abiotic constraints. Thus, in order to improve the pea production ,a new farming technique involving the rhizobia inoculation was applied. The symbiotic, biochemical, physiological characterization and inoculation trials were performed in both the laboratory, greenhouse and open field. Pea Lincoln variety was used as legume species and fifteen Rhizobium strains isolated from the roots of the nodulated pea were collected from different Tunisian areas. Several physiological and biochemical parameters, i.e. pH, temperature, calcium carbonate and salinity were assessed to characterize the strains nodulating pea. All the rhizobia tests were evaluated on Yeast Extract Mannitol Agar medium (YEMA). Pea nodulation and Gallery API test were carried out under controlled conditions. Significant differences (p<0.01) between the nodules number induced by the different bacterial strains and between strains for the dry matter quantities of aerial and root parts were registered. The pH medium test results showed that among 15 strains only 8 strains having a halo diameter greater than 1 cm at basic pH. The most of isolates are able to grow at both low and high temperatures. The limestone test results qualify these rhizobia as calcifuges. Gallery API test results showed a great diversity of rhizobia assimilation of carbohydrates implying genetic diversity. Our results us to select the most efficient solubilizer Rhizobium strains nodulating pea. In order to confirm the previously cited notions on the diversity of Rhizobium strains isolated from Pisum sativum roots in Tunisia, inoculation trial with both selected strains in controlled and open field conditions confirmed the capacity of selected strains to fix atmospheric nitrogen and promote plant growth.

Published: May 2022

Calcareous soils, characterized by a higher pH, are frequent in the North West of Tunisia. Large concentrations of calcium carbonate in calcareous soils result in accumulation of high levels of bicarbonate ions, which complex with phosphate, resulting in phosphorus deficiency (induced P deficiency) for plants. The impact of calcareous soil on plant growth, photosynthetic activity and acid phosphatase activity was explored in two lines of Medicago truncatula: TN6.18 and Jemalong. Calcareous soil significantly restricted shoot growth only in Jemalong (-45 % of the control). When grown on calcareous soil, root length was stimulated, this effect being more pronounced in TN6.18. Under calcareous soil, net CO2 assimilation declined more in Jemalong (-40 % of the control) than in TN6.18 (-20 % of the control). CO2 accumulation was increased in Jemalong (+35% of the control) plants grown in calcareous soil. The acid phosphatase activity was higher in plants cultivated under calcareous soil. This increased phosphatase activity was more pronounced in TN6.18, which showed higher accumulation of Pi in shoots and roots than Jemalolng. In the light of these results, the present study proposes acid phosphatase as a useful candidate for improving Pi acquisition and utilization under calcareous soil.

Authors: Omoyele Adeniyi Dele 
Published: May 2022

Agrochemical stores in selected geographical locations in North Central Nigeria were surveyed, a structured questionnaire administered and students of selected Universities and staff of the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development were sampled. Seventeen active ingredients: Paraquat dichloride, Glyphosate, Permethrin + pyriproxyfen, Dimethylamine salt, Cypermethrin, Chlorpyrifos, Dichlorvos, Lambda-cyhalothrin, 2,2-dichlorovinyl Dimethyl phosphate, Hexaconazole, Imidacloprid, Dimethoate, Nicosulfuron, Profenofos + cypermethrin, S-metolachlor, Carbendazim, and Mancozeb were recorded, and dominated by herbicides and insecticides. Toxicity analysis of active ingredients in open markets based on the recommendation of international standard organizations showed that some common active ingredients were not approved and some others were not listed for agricultural use. Many of the active ingredients negatively affect plant pollinators, aquatic animals, are highly toxic to birds, honey bees, and poses risk to wildlife. Some others are a possible carcinogen, fatal if inhaled, highly hazardous with high environmental toxicity posing a serious health risk to humans by disrupting the endocrine system, inducing heritable mutations in germ cells, impair fertility and reproductive toxicity.
