Reproductive surgery in infertility
Background: With recent improvements in the assisted reproductive technology (ART), there has been a growing tendency that bypasses diagnostic laparohysteroscopy and proceeds directly to ART. Therefore, the value of diagnostic laparohysteroscopy in current fertility practice is under debate. In the present study, we evaluated the usefulness of diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for patients with infertility.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Safal Hospital, Nagpur from January 2017 to July 2017. 80 patients were selected for this study who had undergone diagnostic laparohysteroscopy for infertility.Results: In present study, out of 80 patients studied, 66.25% patients had normal hysteroscopy findings, in 10% of patients, tubal cannulation was done for cornual block, in 6.25% of patients, resection of uterine septum was done, adhesiolysis for asherman’s syndrome was done in 5% of patients, endometrial polyp was removed in 5% of patients, 2.5% patients had resection of submucous fibroid. In 5% patients, cervical dilatation for fibrosis was done in 5% of patients. 68.75% had normal laparoscopy findings, in 8.75% of patients, ovarian drilling for PCOS was done, adhesiolysis for peritubal adhesions was done in 6.25% patients, fulguration of endometriosis was done in 6.25% patients, salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx was done in 5% patients, aspiration of ovarian cyst was done in 2.5% patients.Conclusions: Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy is an effective diagnostic and therapeutic modality for certain significant and correctable abnormalities in pelvis, tubes and uterus which are missed by other imaging modalities
Transbasin water transfers
Presented at the 2001 USCID water management conference, Transbasin water transfers on June 27-30, 2001 in Denver, Colorado.Includes bibliographical references.To utilise the waters of the rivers Sutlej, Beas and Ravi flowing through Punjab, and which come to the exclusive share of India, as per the Indus Waters Treaty-1960 between the Governments of India and Pakistan, a number of projects have been planned, constructed or are under construction on these rivers. These projects have helped in gainfully diverting the waters of river Beas in Sutlej and of river Ravi to Beas, in addition to providing multi-purpose benefits. The projects have brought an agricultural and industrial revolution to the states of Punjab, Haryana and the desert areas of Rajasthan and transformed them into granaries of India. The paper briefly describes the various projects and their salient features. The impacts of the projects on the economy, environment, health, tourism and recreation etc. have been highlighted. Since these projects have enabled the diversion of surplus waters of one river to another, studies for integrated operation and management of waters of these rivers have been carried out for deriving optimum benefits. The paper also describes the real time integrated operation techniques, factors necessitating their adoption, and computer models used for integrated operation of the Bhakra Beas system of reservoirs. It is recommended that for effective utilization of the available waters, and implementation of the real time integrated operation techniques, an automatic data collection and transmission system be installed
Effect of the thyroid status in pregnant patients on the outcome in medical abortion
Background: Medical abortion has the potential to expand abortion services, where surgical services are limited, and to expand women’s choice of abortion method and experience. Objective of present study was to compare the outcome after medical abortion in euthyroid and hypothyroid pregnant patients.Methods: A longitudinal study was carried out in pregnant patients before 9 weeks of pregnancy who wanted termination of pregnancy. Women were divided into two groups. Group I (n = 100) comprised euthyroid patients who acted as control group, whereas group II (n = 58) included patients having subclinical or overt hypothyroidism. All the patients were given 200 mg of mifepristone orally followed by 800 µg of misoprost vaginally 36 to 48 hours later. these patients were followed for 2 weeks. In all the patients, hemoglobin estimation and ultrasound were done during follow-up.Results: Average hemoglobin in the study group was 9.5 gm%, whereas in control group it was 11.1 gm%, which was statistically significant. the fall in hemoglobin after 2 weeks of the drug intake was also significant in control as well as the study group. About 13.79% patients in the study group had to undergo emergency evacuation of uterus within 24 hours for complaints of severe bleeding. In control group, no emergency curettage was done within 24 hours, the difference being highly significant. Mean duration of bleeding was also more in the study group. About 28.57% patients in the study group revealed products of conception on ultrasound after 2 weeks in comparison with 11.57% in the control group, which was also statistically significant (p = 0.008). A total of 41% patients in the study group had to undergo uterine curettage, which was highly significant (p = 0.000).Conclusions: Present study showed that patients having clinical or subclinical hypothyroidism have more failure rates, more chances of excessive bleeding, increased duration of bleeding, resulting in decrease in hemoglobin levels in already anemic patients. Also, the rate of operative intervention was unusually high in hypothyroid group

Acute alcoholic myopathy, rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure: A case report
A case of middle aged male who developed swelling and weakness of muscles in the lower limbs following a heavy binge of alcohol is being reported, lie had myoglobinuria and developed acute renal failure for which he was dialyzed, Acute alcoholic myopathy is not a well recognized condition and should be considered in any intoxicated patient who presents with muscle tenderness and weakness
Parity-controlled spin-wave excitations in synthetic antiferromagnets
We report in this study the current-induced-torque excitation of acoustic and
optical modes in Ta/NiFe/Ru/NiFe/Ta synthetic antiferromagnet stacks grown on
SiO2/Si substrates. The two Ta layers serve as spin torque sources with the
opposite polarisations both in spin currents and Oersted fields acting on their
adjacent NiFe layers. This can create the odd symmetry of spatial spin torque
distribution across the growth direction, allowing us to observe different
spin-wave excitation efficiency from synthetic antiferromagnets excited by
homogeneous torques. We analyse the torque symmetry by in-plane angular
dependence of symmetric and anti-symmetric lineshape amplitudes for their
resonance and confirm that the parallel (perpendicular) pumping nature for the
acoustic (optical) modes in our devices, which is in stark difference from the
modes excited by spatially homogeneous torques. We also present our macrospin
model for this particular spin-torque excitation geometry, which excellently
supports our experimental observation. Our results offer capability of
controlling spin-wave excitations by local spin-torque sources and we can
explore further spin-wave control schemes based on this concept.Comment: 31 pages, 12 figure
