Outcome of external cephalic version (ECV) in singleton pregnancy with uncomplicated breech presentation at term in a tertiary rural hospital
Background: Breech presentation is the most common malpresentation. The incidence of breech presentation at term is 3-4%. Objective of present study was to evaluate the outcome of external cephalic version (ECV) in singleton pregnancy with uncomplicated breech presentation at term in tertiary rural hospital and to analyze the immediate and ultimate outcome of external cephalic version done in term pregnancy with breech presentation with gestational age ≥37 weeks.Methods: This study was conducted at MIMER Medical college and BSTR Hospital, Talegaon Dabhade. Patients with breech presentation at term were studied over duration of 2½ years. 50 patients with breech presentation ≥37 weeks fulfilling the inclusion criteria underwent External cephalic version (ECV). Further obstetric progress is studied with the perinatal outcome and results were analyzed.Results: ECV was successful in 66% cases, out of which 88% cases had vaginal delivery and 12 % cases had LSCS for obstetric indication. Perinatal outcome was not affected with ECV.Conclusions: ECV at term significantly reduces both the incidence of breech delivery and caesarean section rate for breech delivery. ECV does not adversely affect the maternal and perinatal outcome
Optical absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy of the growth of silver nanoparticles
Results obtained from the optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL)
spectroscopy experiments have shown the formation of excitons in the
silver-exchanged glass samples. These findings are reported here for the first
time. Further, we investigate the dramatic changes in the photoemission
properties of the silver-exchanged glass samples as a function of postannealing
temperature. Observed changes are thought to be due to the structural
rearrangements of silver and oxygen bonding during the heat treatments of the
glass matrix. In fact, photoelectron spectroscopy does reveal these chemical
transformations of silver-exchanged soda glass samples caused by the thermal
effects of annealing in a high vacuum atmosphere. An important correlation
between temperature-induced changes of the PL intensity and thermal growth of
the silver nanoparticles has been established in this Letter through precise
spectroscopic studies.Comment: 15 pages,4 figures,PDF fil
Sinusoidal Excitations in Two Component Bose-Einstein Condensates
The non-linear coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation governing the dynamics of
the two component Bose-Einstein condensate (TBEC) is shown to admit pure
sinusoidal, propagating wave solutions in quasi one dimensional geometry. These
solutions, which exist for a wide parameter range, are then investigated in the
presence of a harmonic oscillator trap with time dependent scattering length.
This illustrates the procedure for coherent control of these modes through
temporal modulation of the parameters, like scattering length and oscillator
frequency. We subsequently analyzed this system in an optical lattice, where
the occurrence of an irreversible phase transition from superfluid to insulator
phase is seen.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
