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 :
⁣The declining quality of the Erath’s environment and climate change has been challenging the mankind since centuries. Despite the detrimental effects, plastics serve in a wide range of applications due to various properties like high strength, durability, transparency, corrosion resistance, low toxicity, and lightweight. Multifarious industries ranging from food packaging to space exploration tend to use plastics which leads to the immense pollution. Bio-based polymers have proved to be potential countermeasure to for plastic pollution and have thus drawn plentitude attention from the researchers in the recent years. In view of the above, bio-based carbon serves as an excellent filler for thermoplastics which can be used for diverse applications. The carbon is synthesized from the waste coconut shell powder by using high temperature/pressure reactor. Furthermore, Iron acetyl acetonate is used as catalyst and is loaded with 1 , 2 and 3 wt% in the coconut shell powder and is magnetically stirred for 3hrs in chloroform to obtain homogenous dispersion of catalyst in the coconut shell powder. The pyrolysis is conducted with heating rate of 10°C/min from room temperature to 1000°C and was held for 2 hrs isothermally. Thus derived carbon was ultrasonicated for 3hrs in the presence of ethanol and was characterized using SEM, Raman and XRD.

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 :
⁣Rapid manufacturing on space/air/sea/land missions, where either gravitational force is missing or severe random disturbance may present continuously, is highly in demand. However, till today, there is no reliable technique for such working environments. The purpose of this study is to develop a technology for rapid 3D printing in solid state of polymeric materials to get rid of the problems in harsh working environment. The basic concept is to cross-link by either UV-light or photo-induced-heat of polymeric materials in the solid state for rapid volumetric additive manufacturing. The uncross-linked parts can be removed by heating or cooling for melting, or washing away by solvent. Finally, the shape memory effect (SME) of the cross-linked polymers is applied to ensure high accuracy of the printed items. We have successfully demonstrated this concept using thermal gel, UV cross-linkable vitrimer and other conventional materials.

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 :
⁣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).

Summary :
⁣An experimental study of the graphene conductivity in an aqueous environment is carried out in this study. The presence of a time dependence of the graphene resistivity in water is established. In addition, the characteristic relaxation times of resistivity are determined when graphene is immersed in water and then dried. The resistivity temperature dependence is used to estimate the values of the band gap arising in graphene due to water contact. Based on the analysis of molecular dynamics modeling data, a possible mechanism responsible for the opening of the band gap in graphene is proposed. This mechanism is associated with the inhomogeneous tangential electric field appearance in the plane of the graphene flake, caused by water molecules structured near the graphene surface.

Summary :
⁣Two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown great promise in next-generation devices due to their atomic thinness and broad electronic properties. To realize these post-silicon electronics, it will be necessary to electrically connect these 2D materials both in- and out-ofplane. However, the lattice mismatch between these atomic membranes leads to unavoidable strain, dislocations, or ripples, which can strongly affect the mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. This presentation will discuss using state-of-the-art four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) techniques to address how different 2D materials merge to form lateral heterostructures. The study has enabled discoveries of the intricate and complex interface structures unique to 2D materials. Subsequent control or engineer of these deformations can profoundly impact future material and device development.

Summary :
⁣To enhance the lifetime of mechanical system such as automobile, new reliability methodology – parametric Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) – suggests to produce the reliability quantitative (RQ) specifications— mission cycle—for identifying the design defects and modifying them. It incorporates: (1) a parametric ALT plan formed on system BX lifetime that will be X percent of the cumulated failure, (2) a load examination for ALT, (3) a customized parametric ALTs with the design alternatives, and (4) an assessment if the system design(s) fulfil the objective BX lifetime. So we suggest a BX life concept, life-stress (LS) model with a new effort idea, accelerated factor, and sample size equation. This new parametric ALT should help an engineer to discover the missing design parameters of the mechanical system influencing reliability in the design process. As the improper designs are experimentally identified, the mechanical system can recognize the reliability as computed by the growth in lifetime, LB, and the decrease in failure rate. Consequently, companies can escape recalls due to the product failures from the marketplace. As an experiment instance, two cases were investigated: 1) problematic reciprocating compressors in the French-door refrigerators returned from the marketplace and 2) the redesign of hinge kit system (HKS) in a domestic refrigerator. After a customized parametric ALT, the mechanical systems such as compressor and HKS with design alternatives were anticipated to fulfil the lifetime – B1 life 10 year.

Summary :
⁣During the fetal period, the embryonal premature central nervous system (CNS) structure rapidly develops into a mature structure with gyral formation. Within this rapid development, various developmental disorders and insults result in multiple phenotypes of fetal CNS abnormalities. For understanding fetal CNS diseases, basic knowledge of the development of the central nervous system is essential. Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are disorders of cerebral cortex formation caused by various genetic mutations, infections, vascular abnormalities, or metabolic abnormalities. MCD is associated with abnormal cortical structure, ectopic gray matter, odd brain size.

Summary :
⁣A sterile dressing was devised using a combination of sodium alginate and gelatin as the most suitable polymers along with a small quantity of gellan gum (0.1%), selected out of a range of polymers to co-incorporate a pre-optimised and autoclavable curcumin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (CSLNs) and live probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum). The dressing was optimized for polymer concentration and other characteristics using a central composite design. It exhibited a swelling ratio of 412 ± 36%, in vitro degradation time of 3 h, optimal water vapor transmission rate of 1516.81 ± 155.25 g/m2/day, high tensile strength, low-blood clotting index, case II transport, and controlled release of curcumin. XRD indicated strong interaction between employed polymers. FESEM revealed a porous sponge like meshwork embedded with L. plantarum and CSLNs. Polyphenolics like curcumin can improve probiotic effects. Both probiotics (bacteriotherapy) and curcumin promote wound healing via antimicrobial activity, inhibition of pathogenic toxins, immunomodulation, and anti-inflammatory actions. Combination of CSLNs with probiotic enhanced (560%) its antimicrobial effects against planktonic cells and biofilms of skin pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus 9144. The dressing degraded and released L. plantarum, which germinated in the wound bed and exhibited faster wound closure and lowered bioburden in the wound area in mice. This was coupled with a decrease in wound biomarkers and antioxidant enzymes, establishing multiple healing pathways. It was as effective as the silver nanoparticle-based marketed hydrogel dressing; however, the cost and risk of developing resistance would be much lower currently.

Summary :
⁣We consider the effects of the external static magnetic field on the electronic and physical properties in the excitonic AA-stacked bilayer graphene. We have considered the effect of coupling between the magnetic field B and the spins $\sigma$, which results in the phase modulation of the particles in the system or the spin-dependent magnetic field $B_{\sigma}$. We have constructed the wave strings attached to the particles, for each given periodic interval of the phases, governed by spins. We have calculated the electronic band structure of the AA-bilayer, in the presence of transverse magnetic field and we have found the Metal-Semiconductor-Insulator transition in the AA-bilayer graphene, governed by the strength of applied magnetic field. The spins in our problem are considered as localized along the direction of applied field or opposite to it. The transition into Dirac’s spectrum of usual graphene is also discussed at certain band structure parameters regimes.

Summary :
⁣Flexible, biocompatible electrodes are essential for the development of future wearable and implantable medical devices. While silver nanowire (AgNW) networks are promising candidates for transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs), they suffer from issues such as high roughness, low adhesion, and atmospheric corrosion sensitivity. Many flexible electrodes are made of a wrinkled conductive layer on top of a compliant substrates. Wrinkles provide a way to maintain the integrity and conductivity of the electrode while it is being stretched or bent. In this study, we report on the characterization of semi-transparent electrodes on cellulose nanopaper (CNP) substrates using a plasmaenhanced pulsed laser deposition (PE-PLD) technique. We combined AgNW with titanium nitride (TiN) layers to form wrinkled conducting nano-composite coatings with excellent electromechanical properties. Our results show that the incorporation of AgNW into TiN coatings improves the electrode’s electro-mechanical robustness. Additionally, our data show that CNP/TiNAgNW electrodes exhibit improved stability in air compared to bare AgNW coatings with improved adhesion. These findings have important implications for the development of bio-compatible flexible electronics and could pave the way for the creation of new wearable and implantable medical devices.
