ABSTRACT A Retrospective Study Of Broad Ligament Fibroids On Ultrasonography And Computed Tomography Scan. Background: Among the extrauterine fibroids, broad ligament fibroids are most common to occur although its overall incidence being rare. Because of its rarity it poses specific diagnostic difficulties causing an error in making the final diagnosis and therefore the management. A huge degenerated broad ligament fibroid can mimic adnexal mass on clinical examination and at imaging so extrauterine leiomyoma should be kept in the differential diagnosis of adnexal mass. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from December 2012 to November 2022 in MVJ Medical College by a computer-assisted search of the reports of pre-operative ultrasonographic and computed tomography images of all the patients who underwent surgery for suspected broad ligament fibroids were reviewed. A total of 10 such cases were found and included in the study. Results: 5 (50 %) were in the age group of 30 to 40 years, 3 (30%) patients were in the age group (below 30 years) and 2 (20%) were in the age group (above 40 years). Six lesions (60 % of the cases) were seen in left adnexa and four lesions (40% of the cases) were seen in right adnexa. Four of the patients were clinically presented as mass per abdomen associated with lower abdominal pain. Three of the patients were presented with pain abdomen. Three of the patients were asymptomatic. On ultrasonography six of the lesions were solid, well-defined and hypoechoic in echotexture, three lesions were heterogenous in echotexture and showed cystic areas within and one large lesion showed mixed echogenicity, multiple thick septations with solid cystic components. On NCCT six lesions showed soft density and four lesions showed mixed density. On CECT six lesions showed mild homogenous enhancement, three lesions showed heterogenous enhancement with central non enhancing areas and one lesion showed mixed density with enhancing thick septa and solid components. Conclusion: Broad ligament fibroid is a type of extrauterine fibroid occur infrequently, may mimic malignant adnexal tumours at imaging, and present a diagnostic challenge. So, the main role of imaging is to differentiate it from a possible pedunculated subserosal fibroid or ovarian tumour.

 Abstract

The books of Amitav Ghosh are exemplary of postcolonial ideas, which in their purest form denounce borders and limits while celebrating the inevitability of some forms of border crossing. The themes of boundary crossing and the murkiness of existing borders are central to Ghosh's The Hungry Tide (2004). Members of the novel's cast of characters are those who, in the 1940s and 1950s, were forced to flee from East Pakistan to India. The tale depicts the hopeless battle of islanders in the Bay of Bengal to survive extreme hardship. In terms of geography, the novel's setting is a terrifyingly open wasteland. To keep up with the ever-changing patterns of nature, the land's land and water's water limits are always shifting. (p. 7). Under these conditions, the refugees have no choice but to take direct action against the Indian government for its inability to protect them. Those from Bangladesh who fled to Morichjhapi have been labelled as unlawful squatters. While justifying their actions by citing the necessity to protect forests and wildlife preserves, the government harassed, threatened, and even murdered these evacuees. As a result of persecution, many people moved often, preferring to settle in low-lying locations where they were less likely to attract unwelcome attention. In 1979, hundreds of refugees were slaughtered as the government attempted to remove them from the island. Ghosh depicts a nonaligned space of cosmopolitan arguments and their accompanying difficulties being handled without any prejudices owing to the acceptance of global culture, even in such a worst-case scenario. The colonists make do with what they have, despite the area's drawbacks. Ghosh's idea of human value as universal is on display in his work The Hungry Tide, which tells the tales of a group of people who are mostly unknown outside of India.

 Abstract

Blockchain has been an interesting research area for a long time and the benefits it provides have been used by a number of various industries. Similarly, the healthcare sector stands to benefit immensely from the blockchain technology due to security, privacy, confidentiality and decentralization, nevertheless, the Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems face problems regarding data security, integrity and management. This paper deals with the use of blockchain technology to transform EHR system and depict how blockchain can be the solution to these issues. We present a framework that could be used for implementation of blockchain technology for in healthcare sector for EHR. The aim of our publication is to implement blockchain technology for HER and also to provide secure storage of electronic records by defining access rules for the users of the proposed framework. The data is encrypted by the algorithm known as SHA-256. It is used to encrypt all the data of the patients into a single line 256-bit encrypted text which will be stored in the blocks of Ethereum. These records are used for consultation as well as for the creation of historic family health information tree that keeps track of health issues and diseases.

 Abstract

Some forces exerted on the steps while the people climbing up or down in the staircase due to the weight of the human body. These forces on the steps are generally wasted. The mechanical energy of the foot step that is exerted by people during climbing up or down the step is utilised to operate the air pump to produce the compressed air, and this is stored in the compressed air storage tank. In the present work, the stair case setup is developed which contains three steps and the air pumps are attached under the last two steps. The outlet of each pump is connected to the air storage tank. The open coil helical springs are attached to the steps for retaining the steps in their original position. The setup is experiment by the person walking on the stair case, and the number of steps for each 1kg/cm2 pressure rise in the storage tank is determined up to the pressure of 5kg/cm2.

 Abstract

It has been found that there has been a limited provision of health facilities in the prisons of women in India. Due to a lack of infrastructure, the unwillingness of jail authorities, and funding-related problems, the overall health and medical support system for female inmates is not at all satisfactory despite several government proposals. However, given the updated and amended national Prison Manual, thorough progress is being witnessed as long as the health perspective of female prisoners is concerned. However, there are several other existing problems like taking care of mental health issues of the female offenders which are deliberately neglected but need prominent and immediate attention to achieve sound health goals among the inmates in a true sense. The paper here had attempted to give a detailed insight about the health condition of the women prisoners in India. It has provided in-depth data based on the availability of the health and nutritional facilities within the female prison where women convicts are serving their sentences. Government initiatives that are yet to be initiated like offering standard calorie diet to the women prisoners, health screenings, and inspections from the side Chief Medical Officer have been discussed here with necessary elaboration.

 Abstract

The third most prevalent cancer in the world is colorectal carcinoma. Adenomatous polyps, which occur in areas of epithelial cell hyperproliferation and crypt dysplasia, are precursor lesions to colorectal cancer. Chemotherapeutic medicines are used alone or in combination to treat the majority of CRC patients. However, up to 90% of patients with metastatic cancer encounter treatment failure, primarily due to medication resistance that has developed over time and can result in multidrug resistance (MDR). In this study, we looked into recent research on prospective herbal medicine CRC MDR reversal therapies (HMs). Panax Quinquefolius, Gymnaster Koraiensis, Zingiber Officinale, Punica Grantum, Vitis Vinifera, Camellia Sinensis, Zingiberaceae, etc. In recent years, emphasis has been drawn to the use of conventional therapies. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of plants that have been shown to be useful in treating colon cancer, with a focus on their bioactive components and underlying mechanisms of action. The findings suggest that the best plants for preventing colon cancer are grape, soybean, green tea, and pomegranate. These medicinal herbs have a number of cancer-fighting strategies, including upregulating superoxide dismutase, lowering DNA oxidation, triggering apoptosis by stopping the cell cycle in the s phase, and downregulating PI3K and P-Akt expression.

 Abstract

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy is a clinical condition of ventricular dysfunction that occurs in the absence of coronary atherosclerosis and hypertension in patients with diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by diastolic dysfunction, which is defined as a defect in left ventricular relaxation leading to increased pressures and subsequent impaired filling during diastole. And present to the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is accelerated by the variation in the adaptive and innate immune systems. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by interstitial fibrosis, mainly composed of collagen, and perivascular fibrosis. In the review, we will discuss various aspects, etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy.
