A giant post auricular cutaneous horn: A rare case report

A cutaneous (cornu cutaneum) horn is a rare lesion which usually appears in sun-exposed areas and is very uncommon. It is a conical projection of hyperkeratotic epidermis and can be from a few millimeters to several centimeters in length. Here, we present the case of a large “horn” of long duration, arising in the right postauricular region in a 32-years-old male. The lesion was carefully examined, evaluated, complete excision was done with adequate margins and the defect was closed with primary closure after mobilizing the skin flaps adequately. Histopathologic examination showed the skin with underlying epidermis and extensive hyperkeratosis with no malignant cells seen at the base of the horn. It is important to mention that horn itself, is not the most important issue, but rather the underlying condition, which may be malignant also, needs to be ruled out and addressed

Alive Human Detection Robot for Rescue Operation

In the current technological world, the technologies are evolving day by day. In the modern world, there is continuous development of skyscraper buildings & dwellings, which increases the risk of losing life by natural calamities and man-made disasters. During earthquakes, landslides, and building collapse, a lot of times, humans are trapped under debris and it becomes impossible to detect their presence by the rescue team. There are some cases where it is impossible for rescue teams to reach certain locations in affected areas. The Proposed system is a raspberry pi based human detection robot, which is used to detect live human beings trapped under debris in a affected environment. The robot navigates through the zigzag path and it is controlled by an android application. The set of sensors assembled to the raspberry pi are Microwave radar sensor, Ultrasonic sensor, Temperature sensor and Gas sensor. The Microwave radar sensor is also used to detect the human being behind the obstacle. The Temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature and Gas sensor is used for gas leakage respectively. And the camera module is used to analyze the current scenario

Post-operative management of inflammation after orthopaedic surgeries using trypsin, bromelain and rutoside combination: a single-centre prospective observational study

Background: Post-operative management of inflammation plays an important role in orthopaedic surgeries, as delay in wound healing may lead to extended hospital stay. Proteases like trypsin and bromelain combined with the bioflavonoid rutoside are often used to reduce post-operative pain and swelling. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral administration of a fixed dose combination of trypsin-bromelain-rutoside in the post-operative management after orthopaedic surgeries.Methods: The study was a prospective, observational data collection exercise. Hundred subjects undergoing orthopaedic surgeries, who were administered trypsin-bromelain-rutoside combination, were observed over a period of 8 days post-surgery. Verbal rating scales were used for grading the pain intensity and extent of swelling, while a 5-point Likert scale was used to evaluate patient- and investigator-reported global assessment of improvement in pain and swelling. Scores at day 3 and day 8 were analysed using paired t test.Results: At day 3 and day 8, the mean scores of pain and swelling were significantly reduced from baseline (all p<0.0001). By day 8, 74% of the patients achieved complete resolution of pain, while 50% reported complete resolution of swelling. By day 8, 54% patients reported excellent/ very good global improvement in pain and swelling, while the investigator reported excellent/ very good global improvement in 81% of the patients. No adverse event was reported in any of the patients.Conclusions: The combination of trypsin-bromelain-rutoside was safe and effective in reducing the post-operative pain and swelling after orthopaedic surgeries. An 8-day treatment led to complete resolution of pain in three-fourths of the patients and complete resolution of swelling in half the patients. The use of this combination has the potential to reduce hospital stay and pill burden

Cross Flow past Circular Cylinder with Waviness in Confining Walls near the Cylinder

Two dimensional flow past circular cylinder confined by walls with local waviness near the cylinder has been studied. The aim of the present study is to identify the ability of the waviness to control vortex shedding, for which two different waviness configurations such as in-phase configurations (IPC) and out-phase configurations (OPC) are considered. Further, the effect of location of the local waviness with respect to the cylinder has also been studied. Air is the working fluid and the flow is assumed to be laminar and incompressible at Re=200. The finite volume based CFD solver Ansys Fluent (Version 15.0) is used for the computations. Flow characteristics such as drag, lift and Strouhal number are computed. Interesting shedding characteristics and drag reduction are observed due to the presence of local waviness. However, the significant factor is the location of waviness in the confining walls that leads to complete suppression of shedding. Among various locations and configurations of waviness studied, waviness in downstream with OPC3 suppresses the vortex shedding completely with reduced drag

The Effect of the Rolling Direction, Temperature, and Etching Time on the Photochemical Machining of Monel 400 Microchannels

The present paper describes the effect of the rolling direction on the quality of microchannels manufactured using photochemical machining (PCM) of Monel 400. Experiments were carried out to fabricate microchannels along and across the rolling direction to investigate the effect of the grain orientation on microchannel etching. The input parameters considered were channel width and rolling direction, whereas the depth of etch was the response parameters. Different channels of widths of 60, 100, 150, 200, and 250 μm were etched. The effects of the etching time and temperature of the etchant solution on the undercut and depth of the microchannels were studied. For good quality microchannels, the effects of spinning time, spinning speed, exposure time, and photoresist film strength were also taken into consideration. Optimized values of the above were used for the experimentation. The results show that the depth of etch of the microchannel increases more along the rolling direction than across the rolling direction. The channel width and depth are significantly affected by the etching time and temperature. The proposed study reports an improvement in the quality of microchannels produced using PCM
