Summary :
⁣Hemorrhagic ascites associated with pleural effusion due to endometriosis is an uncommon presentation rarely reported in the medical literature. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman with a history of primary infertility .She presented to the emergency department for asthenia, abdominal swelling and pain. On examination she was stable with signs of massive ascites and right-sided pleural effusion. This was confirmed on ultrasound scan and computed tomography. A magnetic resonance imaging was performed to define the nature of fluid .It shows an abundant ascites (figure a) and right pleural effusion (figure b) seen as hyperintense signal on T1 weighted sequences due to hematic component. Paracentesis was done reveling a bloody ascetic fluid. She declined a pleurodesis for the pleural effusions. The patient was treated with a GnRH analogues with progressive reduction of pleural effusion This report of case draws attention to this presentation as a complication of endometriosis. This suggests that clinicians should include endometriosis in the differential diagnoses of middle-age women presenting with bloody ascites and pleural effusion in addition to infection and malignancy.

Summary :
⁣The decline of fossil fuels requires the expansion of renewable energy production. The use of wind and pv energy is associated with strong fluctuations that are insufficiently adapted to the demand. The use of storage systems can help to reduce the mismatch. While short-term storage systems such as batteries rely on charging and discharging cycles, long-term storage systems such as methanol storage can be charged and discharged over any time range. Current studies show a wide variety of possible applications for long-term storage systems based on methanol. Methanol can contribute to the decentralized supply of electricity, heat and fuel as well as to grid stabilization. In an emergency case, it can even supply entire consumer clusters autonomously for several days.

Summary :
⁣Severe allergic asthma in children has a relatively low prevalence among total number of asthma patients. The main goal of the long-term treatment is achieving disease control as defined by the guidelines. Current therapeutic options in allergic asthma include several alternatives that offer the possibility to personalize the treatment in these severe forms. Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds and inhibits free serum immunoglobulin E. It is the first biological agent that was approved in children with severe allergic asthma. We present a series of patients treated with Omalizumab in the IIIrd Pediatric University Hospital In Cluj-Napoca, Romania over a period of 9 years. The main outcomes that we analyzed are the number an severeity of exacerbations, the presence of symptoms between exacerbations, pulmonary function tests and asthma control test (ACT).

Summary : ⁣With the growing demand for alternative energy (especially plant biomass) and to avoid competition with traditional food crops, part of the less-favored areas may be used for energy crops. LAMMC Vėžaičiai branch (Lithuania) has been conducting research on 2 perennial fast-growing plant species (herbaceous and woody) in the acidic whitish soils (pH 4.2-4.4) of Western Lithuania since 2009 and 2014. The effect of liming (to adjust the optimal soil pH level) and nitrogen fertilizers on biomass growth was investigated. The increase in dry weight of cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) and common osier (Salix viminalis L.) was directly related to nitrogen fertilization alone. Liming and fertilization with nitrogen fertilizers and their interaction had a positive effect on the productivity of the following plants: black poplars (Populus nigra L.), cup plact (Silphium perfoliatum L.), virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita Rusby). Except for virginia mallow, the effect of liming on other plants is more pronounced only in the first few years of plant growth. However, primary soil liming had a positive effect on soil chemical parameters (especially humus growth) and microbiological activity.

Summary :
⁣Accumulation of plastic products in the Environment that adversely affects wildlife, habitat of humans is a major concern for the government at present. As plastic is non-biodegradable in nature, it remain in environment for several years. As a result it is responsible for causing land, air and water pollution. Plastic pollution has been constantly damaging our sustainable environment. The production of plastic is increasing since 1950, 8.3 billion tones of plastic has been produced, which is likely to be double by 2050. The burning of plastic waste increase the risk of heart disease, damages the nervous system, respiratory ailments such as asthma and cause nausea or headaches. Hence, a sustainable step towards tomorrow’s greener and healthier environment needs immediate attention of the environmental scientists. Most of the environmental tools of plastics like cell phones, computers, helmets and hospital bags have molded society in many ways that make life both easier and safer. Plastic produced every year is used to make for single use, disposable packaging items or products when they are thrown out which damage the green environment. It is due to lack of self discipline and not worrying about future generations, selfish attitude and consumerist human has damaged the environment. It is the responsibility of educational institutions to sensitize and create public awareness. In addition to creating public awareness on the importance of a clean and healthy environment, plastic recycling facilities must be recommended. This invited talk will help the society to reduce their exposures to plastics and ensure the increase of healthy society with clean environment for the next future generations.

Summary :
⁣Transvaginal Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is increasingly being performed in gynecology practice for various of indications. We aimed to share the surgical and subjective outcomes of patients who underwent NOTES for gynecological disease. This preliminary report included 43 patients. Out of those, 39.5% had previous abdominal surgeries. 14% of all underwent hysterectomy and 86% had various adnexal procedures. Mean age, BMI and median parity were 39.6±8.9 years, 28.9±9.1 kg/m2 and 3±2 births. The mean POP-Q C level measurement was -36±14mm. The mean total duration of surgeries was 21.8±15.2 minutes. Median pain scores measured by Visual Analog Score were 4±3 and 1±2 at 6th and 24th hours of surgery, respectively. 32.5% of all patients needed one and 14% needed two additional doses of analgesic in addition to routine one postoperative dose. There was no conversion to laparoscopy or laparotomy. Only one patient had early postoperative mild complication that is minor bleeding from colpotomy and was managed conservatively. The satisfaction was measured with Patient Global Impression scale, 95.3% of all patients reported that were very satisfied at the 1st week. In conclusion, the vNOTES is a feasible approach in regards to the duration of surgery, postoperative pain scores, and cosmetic outcomes.

Summary :
⁣The IDUA gene (MIM 252800) provides instructions for producing alpha-Liduronidase, which is essential for the breakdown of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Mutations in the IDUA gene have been found to cause mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) (MIM 607014). This leads to the accumulation of GAGs within lysosomes causing many different organs and tissues to be dysfunctional. Deleted IDUA gene has not been reported in literatures which showed to be associated with severe phenotype in our proband case.

Summary :
⁣Extravasation is a major problem especially among the pediatric population. Extravasation is defined as infiltration or leakage of an intravenous chemotherapeutic agent into the surrounding tissue which results in local damage.The various types of extravasation causing agents can be Sclerosing,fibrosing agents.Drugs that can cause blisters,ulceration, severe tissue destruction & necrosis. Eg.. Vincristine.or drugs that can cause burning and inflammation.eg.. Dacarbazine. Usually cause extravasation. Two major mechanisms are believed to cause tissue damage,DNA binding vesicant agents (e.g., anthracyclines) Absorbed by local cells in the tissue and bind to DNA,causing cell death.Non DNA binding vesicant agents (e.g., vinca alkaloids)These agents do not bind to cellular DNA.Local tissue damage is more easily neutralized than damage to surrounding tissues. Pediatric nurses play a major role in preventing extravasations occurring and also managing the extravasations on time to prevent complications which even can be fatal.The aim of this presentation is to high light the role of nurses in preventing and managing extravasations in the hospital.

Summary :
⁣The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of pelvic dysfunction symptoms following OASI. The secondary aim was to assess the scope of a dedicated perineal trauma clinic in identifying and investigating women that have experienced faecal incontinence after OASI and if a transitional clinic arrangement to colorectal or continence services would be useful.The clinical database was used to identify and obtain information about 118 women who sustained an OASI (3rd/ 4th degree tear) between August 2016 and July 2017. A questionnaire was designed to assess symptoms of pelvic dysfunction; this was sent via the post in November 2018.Urinary and bowel dysfunction and pelvic pain is highly prevalent following an OASI. Perineal trauma clinic attendance alone is not sufficient for identification and follow up of symptoms as loss to follow up can occur. Transitional care is needed between obstetric and colorectal teams, to recognise and treat women with ongoing faecal incontinence.

Summary :
⁣In perovskite solar cells, the inverted device structure has the potential for faster commercialization due to its less complicated processing path when compared to the conventional planar structure solar cell. However, multi-cation perovskite crystallization on the PEDOT:PSS, the hole transport material, results in large domains with several deft and grain boundaries. These defects formed on the perovskite surface result in non-radiative recombination and limit the device’s performance. Incorporating surface passivation of the perovskite layer through the introduction of large cation is a feasible route to reduce defects and improve charge carrier extraction. This work reports on an inverted solar cell that uses a Csx(FAyMA1-y)Pb(IzBr1-z) perovskite on a PEDOT:PSS surface. The GUI layer results in the passivation of the perovskite and curbs the amount of non-radiative recombination. The beneficial aspects of the passivation include an increase in open-circuit voltages from 0.89 V to over 0.96 V and high efficiency of 16.03% for a GUAI device when compared to 12.92% for the control device. The presence of the GAUI layer improves the stability when compared to the control device by over 600 hours of storage in ambient conditions.

Summary :
⁣A tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is an inflammatory mass involving the fallopian tube, ovary, and occasionally adjacent viscera. TOA carries a high morbidity and mortality rate of 5-10% when assocaited with severe sepsis. It is a common acute gynaecological presentation for which there are no national guidelines to guide clinical decision making. Management varies based on clinical presentation and experience of the clinician, and is based on IV antibiotics (conservative management), image guided drainage, or surgical options. In recent years, the laparoscopic approach to surgical intervention has gained favour due to reduced morbidity and quicker recovery time.

Summary :
⁣Doxorubicin is an anthracycline antibiotic used as an anticancer agent. Longterm use of this anticancer agent could accumulate its metabolite, doxorubicinol, and cause cardiomyopathy, due to its cardiotoxicity. This cardiotoxic effect depends on the amount of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol accumulated in the body. This study aimed to analyze doxorubicin and doxorubicinol levels in the blood plasma of breast cancer patients. Methods: Participants of this study were 30 breast cancer patients who had received doxorubicin in their therapy regimen. The samples were analyzed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), with the Acquity UPLC BEH C18 Waters chromatography column (2.1 x 100 mm : 1.7 μm). Plasma (250 μL) samples were prepared by protein precipitation, using methanol. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% acetic acid (eluent A) and acetonitrile (eluent B), with gradient elution; the flow rate was 0.15 mL/min and runtime, 7 min.

Summary :
⁣A solid-solid reaction took place at 1000°C during 4 h, using a mixture of pure iron oxide- Fe2O3 and pure zinc oxide – ZnO in order to synthesize zinc ferrite-ZF of different compositions: (S1) Fe2O3/ZnO:3/2, (S2) Fe2O3/ ZnO:1/1, (S3) Fe2O3/ZnO:4/1 and (S4) Fe2O3/ ZnO:2/1. Each of these mixtures were milling during 24 h before the thermic treatment carried out. S1, S2, S3 and S4 samples were became to M1, M2, M3 and M4 samples respectively, which after that were thermally characterized using DSC, DTA and TG techniques. In sequence the ZF produced were examined using XRD, optical and magnetic techniques, SEM & TEM. XRD analysis shows up as contains of equimolar ZF: M3 (73.20%), M4 (28.00%) and M2 (2.10%) as non-stoichiometric phases of ZF: 31.80% of Zn0.95Fe1.78O3.71 and 30.40 % of Zn1.08Fe1.92O4 in M4; Zn0.97Fe2.02O4 in M3 and 35.30% of Zn0.54Fe2.46O4 in M1. Previous studies of magnetic characterization observed a little hysteresis of this equimolar ZF. The results of estimation of the band gap energy (Eg) via the manipulation of the Kubelka-Munk theory allowed to determine that the samples M1, M2, M3 and M4 are considered semiconductors (3.66 and 3.76 eV).
