    The N-doped ZnO thin films have been deposited using pulsed spray pyrolysis from Zinc Acetate (ZA) precursor along with the N dopants of N2 carrier gas (N2 – series) and Ammonium Acetate (AA – series) on glass substrates at the optimized substrate temperature of 300 °C with different spraying pulse intervals. The X-ray powder diffraction studies confirmed the polycrystalline structures with the presence of mixed compressive and tensile strain along ‘a’ and ‘c-axes’ respectively for the N2 doped films and the presence of compressive strain alone along both ‘a’ and ‘c-axes’ for the AA doped films. The XPS analysis revealed that the N2 gas source led to the incorporation of elemental N into the film and the AA source led to the incorporation of both elemental and molecular N into the film. The Micro Raman Analysis confirmed the N-doping and its contributed carrier localization by exhibiting A1(LO) and A1(TO) modes. Photoluminescence studies exhibited the active band gap of ~3.19 eV with additional peaks related to hole traps at ~3 eV and electron traps at ~2.8 eV without exhibiting peaks correspond to oxygen vacancy defects. The Seebeck measurements confirmed the establishment of intrinsic p-type conductivity in both the cases at room temperature (RT) and the films deposited with pure elemental doping from N2 source found exhibiting better p-type conductivity than those films deposited using AA source

    Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disease with a variable clinical presentation. PHPT is usually symptomatic at presentation in majority of the patients, especially in developing countries. As the accessibility to investigations, advanced imaging methods and surgical procedures are improving, the clinical profile of the patients with PHPT has undergone a palpable change compared to the earlier description. Hence we decided to look for a change in clinical, imaging and surgical outcomes of PHPT patients from South India. Methods: We collected the data on clinical presentation, biochemistry, radiological features and operative findings of patients with PHPT treated in our hospital from 2011-2015. Cases of PHPT were identified from the laboratory values using the biochemical criteria, after the exclusion of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism cases. Results: Our study identified 54 patients (19 males and 35 females) with age ranging from 16 to 71 years. A Significant proportion(38.9%) of the patients were asymptomatic. Musculoskeletal symptoms (40.7%), renal manifestations (27.7%) and gastrointestinal system involvement (27.7%) constituted the other common modes of presentation. CNS involvement was seen in 3 patients. A palpable nodule in the neck was detected in 4 patients. Interestingly 4 patients were managed for parathyroid crisis at presentation. Biochemical features included hypercalcaemia (100%) and hypophosphatemia (59%) with a mean intact PTH level of 602.0±721.3 pg/ml. Sensitivity of Ultrasonography and Tc99M Sestamibi was 72% and 70.6% respectively for detecting a parathyroid adenoma. Sensitivity of C11 methionine PET-CT was 71.4% in those patients who were negative for other imaging modalities. Forty three patients (79.6%) underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Conclusion: In South India we have a notable change in the clinical presentation of PHPT from a symptomatic to an asymptomatic state. C11 Methionine PET - CT is an emerging modality for preoperative localisation especially when other imaging modalities are negative and when a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is desired
