Data Deduplication in A Blockchain-Enabled Big Data Ecosystem: Secure and Efficient Cloud Storage

To get around the limits of local storage and ensure that data can be accessed from anywhere at any time, cloud storage services have become very important. Data compression technology helps save bandwidth and disk space. Removing extra data from cloud storage can save up to 95% of room. Despite recent improvements in cloud storage, there are still security and privacy concerns. This piece discusses the security and privacy concerns related to big data and outlines the basic requirements that future solutions should address. This paper aims to introduce a new technology strategy for handling and controlling security and privacy risks related to big data. This paper uses a design science study method. The proposed system uses Blockchain technology to securely store large amounts of data by managing its information and rules and keeping outside parties out protecting data security and privacy. This method uses very little computing power to create file encryption keys. Tests and security checks show that it keeps the keys safe and protects the data\u27s privacy. Computational speed improves because it takes less than 2 seconds to create encryption keys, even for a 500 MB file. We show a working model of our proposed system in a real-life data store scenario using the Ethereum Blockchain. The review and research show that our proposed framework provides a useful method for safely storing data in a Big Data environment

Analysing the Effects of Neuro-dynamics in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Pain and Disability: A Randomized Control Trial

INTRODUCTION: A peripheral neuropathy, Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is chronic progressive disorder that leads to pain and disability in individuals hindering their day-to-day activities. The main symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling over median nerve distribution area. It effects majority of the population with the females being more prone to the condition than men are. Risk factors include ecological, extrinsic, intrinsic and neuropathic factors. There have been various treatment approaches for the carpal tunnel syndrome, which have been discovered in the past few years, but still a proper or peculiar approach needs to be designed. METHODOLOGY: 30 subjects screened for the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomization of subjects in control and experimental group, implemented. No subject left the study in between. Outcome measures including NPRS, BCTSQ and EROM (Extension) were assessed pre intervention. Control group received general (home) exercises while experimental group received static opener, one ended, two ended sliders and four levels tensioners (Neurodynamics) with home (general) exercises for 5 days. Afterwards, NPRS and EROM (Extension) assessed and at 2 weeks follow up NPRS and BCTSQ were taken. RESULTS: The data acquired from 30 individuals, irrespective of side involved and data analysis carried out. The outcome measure indicated significant improvement in both the groups after intervention and at 2 weeks follow up. Overall, when both the groups were compared the implication of neurodynamics with home (general) exercises were found to be more beneficial over control group which received home (general exercises) in NPRS (p-value – 0.36**, <0.01 ) , SSS ( p-value- 0.001*, right side), FSS (0.079**) while control group remained significant in SSS ( p-value – 0.319**) at two weeks follow up. In post group intervention comparison, Elbow extension ROM implicated superiority to neurodynamics group in right side (p –value – 0.65**) over left side (p-value – 0.907**). CONCLUSION: Neurodynamics with (home) general exercises found to be more beneficial over (home) general exercises in improving pain and disability in subjects with mild to moderate CTS patient. To add, this approach reduces the chances to undergo surgery for the CTS

Pericardial Effusion Due to Tuberculosis in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient: A Case Study

Pericardial effusion in CAPD patients is a rare complication, often caused by viral infections, tuberculosis, autoimmune diseases, chronic kidney disease, and malignancy. In Indonesia, a tuberculosis-endemic country, pericardial effusion due to tuberculosis should be considered. It can be aggravated by uremic conditions and can be life-threatening if cardiac tamponade occurs. A 31-year-old man with CKD stage 5 on CAPD and massive pericardial effusion due to tuberculosis was diagnosed. The clinical outcome showed improvement with pericardiocentesis, intensive hemodialysis, and anti-tuberculosis therapy with dose adjustment. The patient\u27s pericardial effusion was due to a delayed hypersensitivity response to tuberculoprotein mycobacterium tuberculosis. Treatment with pericardiocentesis, dose adjustment for antituberculosis treatment, and reducing uremic conditions can prevent tamponade and recurrent pericardial effusion

Recurrence or Transformation? Spindle Cell Carcinoma After Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treatment- A Case Report

Background: Spindle Cell Carcinoma (SpCC) is a rare and aggressive variant of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) that can arise following the treatment of the original SCC. Its distinct histopathological features, such as spindle-shaped cells, complicate diagnosis, as they can resemble mesenchymal tumours. SpCC is characterized by rapid growth and a high potential for metastasis, posing significant clinical challenges.Case Presentation: A 45-year-old male with a history of SCC on the right lateral border of the tongue underwent surgical resection and radiation therapy. One year later, a rapidly enlarging mass appeared at the tonsilo-lingual sulcus. Histopathology revealed spindle-shaped cells with both epithelial and mesenchymal features, confirming Spindle Cell Carcinoma.Discussion: The transformation of SCC into SpCC after radiation or surgery may result from radiation-induced mutations in residual SCC cells. (1) Diagnosis is challenging due to the spindle morphology of SpCC, which can mimic mesenchymal tumours such as fibrosarcoma or malignant fibrous histiocytoma. (2) Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in distinguishing SpCC from other spindle cell neoplasms by detecting the co-expression of keratin and vimentin. (3)Management and Conclusion: The patient was treated with wide surgical resection and radiation therapy for recurrent SpCC. Given its aggressive nature, SpCC requires close follow-up for recurrence and metastasis. SpCC after SCC treatment generally has a poor prognosis due to its high risk of recurrence and metastasis. (4) Early detection and aggressive treatment are critical for improving outcomes in these complex cases

To study the correlation of serum ST-2 levels with absolute eosinophil count in COPD patients

Background: COPD is chronic lung disease associated with frequent disease exacerbations and poor quality of life. COPD patient with eosinophilic inflammation phenotypes are under increased risk for exacerbation. Thus the master switch of inflammation i.e.IL-33/ST-2 pathway can be blocked by using anti-ST2 monoclonal antibodies and further complication of COPD can be minimized. Thus we aimed to study the correlation of absolute eosinophil count with ST2 in COPD patients. In order to investigate the concentration of serum ST-2 (suppression of tumerogenicity 2) receptor and its correlation with absolute eosinophil count we recruited 150 COPD patients and 150 healthy controls in our hospital and divided into two subgroups; smokers and non-smokers. When we compared serum ST-2 of COPD patients with healthy controls, a significantly higher level of serum ST-2 was found in COPD patient as compared to healthy control. The positive correlation of AEC and ST2 in COPD patients as well as healthy control subjects were recorded, which confirms the role of ST2 receptor mediated eosinophilic inflammation in COPD patients via IL-33 activation

MENOPAUSE IN AYURVEDA - A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF RAJONIVRTTI LAKSHANA

Menopause, referred to as Rajonivritti in Ayurveda, marks a significant transition in a woman’s life, characterized by the cessation of menstruation and various physiological, psychological, and hormonal changes. Unlike the modern medical perspective, which primarily attributes menopause to ovarian insufficiency and declining estrogen levels, Ayurveda explains Rajonivritti through the lens of Dosha imbalance, particularly Vata Dosha aggravation and depletion of Shukra Dhatu and Ojas. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of Rajonivritti Lakshana (clinical features of menopause), its pathophysiology (Samprapti), and Ayurvedic management strategies, including Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Chikitsa (therapeutics). Classical texts describe symptoms such as Santapa (hot flashes), Anidra (insomnia), Kati shula (lower back pain), and Sharira daurbalya (body weakness), aligning with modern clinical observations. This study aims to bridge the gap between traditional Ayurvedic concepts and modern gynecological perspectives, highlighting the efficacy of Ayurvedic interventions in alleviating menopausal discomforts
