    Background: This study was done to compare maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancies after 34 weeks gestation complicated by antepartum eclampsia when terminated by caesarean section and by vaginal delivery. Methods: A comparative prospective study was done on 100 pregnant women with antepartum eclampsia at or beyond 34 weeks of gestational age from November 2019 to June 2021 at Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, Telangana. The patients were divided into two groups: CD group (who delivered by caesarean section) and VD group (who delivered by vaginal route). After history taking and examination, delivery was planned according to the gestational age, foetal condition and Bishop’s score. The associated indication for caesarean, induction delivery interval in vaginal deliveries, total blood loss was noted. Baby details were noted and were followed till discharge at hospital. Results: The incidence of caesarean section was 41% and that of vaginal delivery was 59%. Highest incidence of antepartum eclampsia was seen in the age group of 20-24 years and between 37-40 weeks. Most common indication of caesarean section was fetal distress (19%). The convulsion-delivery interval was less in CD group and it was statistically significant (p value 0.01). The incidence of live births, still births and IUD was better in the CD group than VD group (p value 0.02). Perinatal mortality was more in vaginal delivery group (27.64%) than in caesarean section group (12.19%). Maternal mortality was 1.7% in the VD group and nil in the CD group. Conclusions: The study reflected that both perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality were found to be lesser in the CD group in comparison with the VD group. Thus, early decision for caesarean section especially when delivery is not anticipated within 6 hours of admission is essential in improving the perinatal and maternal outcome in eclampsia

    Nonetheless, in lots of application scenarios, users cannot precisely formulate their keywords and rather choose to choose them from some candidate keyword sets. Existing studies mainly focus regarding how to efficiently discover the top-k result set given a spatio-textual query. Spatio-textual queries retrieve probably the most similar objects regarding confirmed location along with a keyword set. Driven by these applications, we advise a manuscript query paradigm, namely reverse keyword look for spatio-textual top-k queries (RST Q). Furthermore, in information browsing applications, it's helpful to focus on the objects using the tags to which the objects have higher rankings. It returns the keywords to which a target object is a spatio-textual top-k result. Extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates the efficiency in our suggested query techniques when it comes to both computational cost and that to cost. By being able to access our prime-level nodes of KcR-tree, we are able to estimate the rankings from the target object without being able to access the particular objects. To efficiently process the brand new query, we devise a manuscript hybrid index KcR-tree to keep and summarize the spatial and textual information of objects

    In order to better serve users social networking needs, OSNs provides a wide range of Internet features for users to share, for example, creating contacts, delivering messages, uploading photos, browsing the latest updates from friends, etc. In order to verify the strength of a social behavior profile when an account activity abnormality is detected, we use the social behavior file for each user to distinguish between their user's own user clicks and transfers to all other users. We investigate the representation of social behaviors of people's users to identify anomalies in the use of the account. Many activities in the OSN require multiple steps to achieve them. Model national statistical organizations classify social information into different types of pages. The time a person needs to complete each of the activities given is greatly influenced by the user's social characteristics. We provide aggregate measurement results for each behavioral function for users to display the valuable space. Finally, we use an example as an example of diversity in user behavior. We also process each sequence of clicks before performing a detailed analysis of the measurement. Mix verification can be used to ensure that each piece of data can be used for both training and validation, and it makes sense not to be biased. We conducted three sets of experiments for different sizes of training data, the quality of the feature and the completeness of the profile, in turn, to judge their impact on the accuracy of recognition. We adjust the number of model activities to understand whether vector quality affects the accuracy of the recognition. The more the type of activity a person performs, the greater the behavior profile. The distribution properties values ​​for individual user records include a profile of their behavior

    PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM SECONDARY TO TAKAYASU'S ARTERITIS

    Get PDF
    Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon & noninfectious neutrophilic dermatosis commonly associated with underlying systemic disease in more than 50% of cases. About 20-30% of cases are commenced and aggravated by minor trauma or surgery, a phenomenon named pathergy. PG is associated with many systemic diseases, but association with Takayasu's arteritis (TA) / pulseless disease, which is chronic inflammatory and stenotic disease of large sized arteries is less common. These conditions responded well with systemic corticosteroids. The association of PG with TA has been less reported in the literature so far.

    Garlic is an important and economical plant. It has many uses in medicinal, culinary and ayurvedic purposes. Garlic peeling is a tedious, time consuming and laborious work. So far, traditional peeling methods are used for garlic peeling. These methods are observed to be unhygienic, laborious and caused high damage to garlic segments. Mechanical peelers available are costly and not affordable to small scale industries. Since, the traditional methods are laborious and mechanical methods are costly there is a need to develop low cost, mechanical peeler that will reduce the drudgery. Angular iron and flat iron was used for main frame and supporting the main units. A food grade rubber and mild steel pipe was used for rubber roller. Iron bar was used for shaft. A wire mesh was used as screen. Dimensions of garlic segments were measured using digital vernier callipers and weight of each garlic segment was measured using electronic balance. Moisture content, orthogonal dimensions, weight, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, equivalent mean diameter, shape factor, terminal velocity and drag coefficient of garlic segments were found. Moisture content of garlic segments was 59.36±0.87% (w.b). At this moisture content, average length, width and thickness of garlic segments were found to be 25.818 3.743 mm, 10.116 2.209 mm and 7.34 1.638 mm, respectively. Average weight of individual garlic segments were found to be 1.159 g. Geometric mean diameter, sphericity, equivalent mean diameter and shape factor of garlic segments were found out to be 12.422 mm, 0.481, 13.03 mm and 0.218, respectively. The terminal velocity and drag coefficient were 18.941 m/s and 0.416 at moisture content of 59.08 ± 0.82% (w.b.). Cost of peeler was estimated to be about ₹ 10,005/-

    The self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) was employed to improve the bioavailability of sulpiride, a drug which is poorly soluble. The mean droplet size and emulsification time of the test formulation used for in vivo study were 9.27 ± 2.02 nm and 87 ± 5 s, respectively. When compared with Reference (Dogmatil®), the test formulation exhibited faster in-vitro drug release rate. The Cmax and AUC values of the test formulation were significantly higher than those of Reference, with an enhancement of 210.64% in the extent of absorption in rabbits. In conclusion, SMEDDS could be a potential drug delivery system to enhance the bioavailability of sulpiride.Colegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire

    Keratoconus is characterised by reduced rigidity of the cornea with distortion and focal thinning that causes blurred vision, however, the pathogenetic mechanisms are unknown. It can lead to severe visual morbidity in children and young adults and is a common indication for corneal transplantation worldwide. Here we report the first large scale genome-wide association study of keratoconus including 4,669 cases and 116,547 controls. We have identified significant association with 36 genomic loci that, for the first time, implicate both dysregulation of corneal collagen matrix integrity and cell differentiation pathways as primary disease-causing mechanisms. The results also suggest pleiotropy, with some disease mechanisms shared with other corneal diseases, such as Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. The common variants associated with keratoconus explain 12.5% of the genetic variance, which shows potential for the future development of a diagnostic test to detect susceptibility to disease
