Epidemiology and outcome of burn injuries in tertiary care hospital of Northern India

Background: Burns represent a serious problem around the world especially in low and middle income countries. The aim of this study was to determine epidemiological characteristics, causes and mortality rate of burn deaths in tertiary care hospital of N India as well as to guide future education and prevention programs.Methods: A one year cross-sectional study of all burn patients admitted in Dr. RPGMC Tanda, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India was conducted between January 2014-December 2014.Results: Our study revealed that type II (absence of sutural bones) was commoner than type I (presence of type I) asterion. Total of 210 burn injury patients were admitted majority were males[54.5%] and females were [45.5%] males sustained burn injuries mostly at their work place with electric burns whereas females sustained burn injuries at home with cooking appliances.Conclusions: Burn injuries can be reduced by bringing about regulations to develop safer cooking appliances, promoting less inflammable fabrics to be worn out at home and educating the community especially women.

Solar Powered Brushless Dc (Bldc) Motor Driven Electric Vehicle

This paper provides an overview of the recent work of vehicle in the region. The paper describes the development and the comparison of different part of components the major components in solar panel, dynamo battery, BLDC motor, charger design In earlier days the when the electric cars were designed, they went through various losses and were less efficient. Thus there was a decrease on demand of electric cars/ vehicle which almost made the concept of electric cars as not efficient. So for increasing the efficiency as well as in automobiles markets, we are using BLDC motor operation cars

A case of successful treatment of Skin Excoriation Disorder with N-Acetyl Cysteine

Introduction: We present a case of a middle age patient with skin excoriation disorder since age 15 who experienced significant improvement with augmentation of her treatment regimen with N-acetyl cysteine. This improvement occurred despite a recurrence of her depression, alcohol use disorder, and stimulant use disorder. Case Presentation: A 59 year-old-female with 44 years of unsuccessful treatment of self-excoriation disorder presented with symptoms of unspecified depression, OCD and stimulant use disorder. She was referred by her surgeon who had to postpone a revision of her hip replacement as she was self-excoriating the right axillary lymphadenectomy site. Initial administration of PHQ-9 revealed a score of 20. She was diagnosed with right breast cancer over 10 years ago, status post radical mastectomy of the right breast. She had episodes of extended sobriety and still had skin picking. She had been using cocaine and alcohol for the past couple of years, even though she was involved in out-patient treatment. It was difficult to cope with her current psychosocial situation which made it difficult for her to maintain sobriety. She continued to pick on her surgical site, which caused her wounds to remain fresh and sore. She self-reported that she struggled with efforts not to pick her skin and even attempted to wear gloves on her hands at bedtime to prevent herself from picking through the night. The patient had been taking paroxetine 60mg per day which she reported had helped. This medication was therefore continued as previously prescribed. We initiated N-acetyl cysteine as it has been shown to have improved skin picking in patients. (1) N-acetyl cysteine was initiated at 1200mg per day, titrating this to 2400mg per day. Also, the patient was referred for CBT and was continued for outpatient cocaine addiction treatment. Given this combination of treatment, the patient showed significant improvement in of her skin picking. She self-reported doing well, going on for months without picking at of her wound. On examination, her wound appeared to be healing significantly and there was noticeable improvement compared to initial examination. There has been significant improvement on the surgical site as observed during the subsequent three monthly follow ups. Conclusion: In light of limited treatment options, the trial of N-acetyl cysteine in patients that suffer from this significantly stressful condition would be beneficial. References: 1.

Signatures of a spin-1/2 cooperative paramagnet in the diluted triangular lattice of Y2_2CuTiO6_6

We present a combination of thermodynamic and dynamic experimental signatures of a disorder driven dynamic cooperative paramagnet in a 50% site diluted triangular lattice spin-1/2 system, Y$_2$CuTiO$_6$. Magnetic ordering and spin freezing are absent down to 50 mK, far below the Curie Weiss scale of ~-134 K. We observe scaling collapses of the magnetic field- and temperature-dependent magnetic heat capacity and magnetisation data, respectively, in conformity with expectations from the random singlet physics. Our experiments establish the suppression of any freezing scale, if at all present, by more than three orders of magnitude, opening a plethora of interesting possibilities such as disorder-stabilized long range quantum entangled ground states.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, published in Physical Review Letter

New loci for body fat percentage reveal link between adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk

To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of adiposity and its links to cardiometabolic disease risk, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of body fat percentage (BF%) in up to 100,716 individuals. Twelve loci reached genome-wide significance (P<5 × 10−8), of which eight were previously associated with increased overall adiposity (BMI, BF%) and four (in or near COBLL1/GRB14, IGF2BP1, PLA2G6, CRTC1) were novel associations with BF%. Seven loci showed a larger effect on BF% than on BMI, suggestive of a primary association with adiposity, while five loci showed larger effects on BMI than on BF%, suggesting association with both fat and lean mass. In particular, the loci more strongly associated with BF% showed distinct cross-phenotype association signatures with a range of cardiometabolic traits revealing new insights in the link between adiposity and disease risk
