    Abstract Clinical utility of perfusion index (PI) has entered a new realm as a non-invasive, quantitative index of stress response to endotracheal intubation. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) involves F-K retractor aided docking of the surgical robot producing haemodynamic and stress responses akin to laryngoscopy. We compared the stress response to videolaryngoscopy with that due to docking of da Vinci surgical robot using PI, heart rate and mean arterial pressure evaluated at specific time points post-laryngoscopy and post-docking. Twenty-six adult patients, scheduled for TORS under general endotracheal anaesthesia were included in this prospective, observational, single-centric cohort study. Statistical analysis included paired samples t-test, dotted box-whisker plots, trendlines and correlograms for comparative analysis of two stressors, laryngoscopy and docking. Baseline PI was 4.14. PI values increased post-midazolam (4.23), 1 min (5.69) and 3 min (6.25) post anaesthetic-induction, plummeted at laryngoscopy (3.24), remained low at 1 min (3.68), 3 min (4.69) thereafter, and were highest at 10 min (6.17) post-laryngoscopy and predocking (6.84). Docking witnessed a fall in PI (4.1), which remained low at 1 min (4.02), 3 min (4.31) and 10 min (4.79) post-docking. PI was significantly higher at laryngoscopy compared with PI at docking (p = 0.0044). At 1 min and 3 min post-laryngoscopy and post-docking, respectively, the differences in PI were statistically insignificant. PI at 10 min post-laryngoscopy was significantly lower than PI at 10 min post-docking (p < 0.0001). As non-invasively quantified by PI, videolaryngoscopic stress response is more intense but shorter-lived versus that due to docking. PI displays a negative correlation with haemodynamic variables. PI at laryngoscopy is a good predictor of PI at docking, enabling pre-emptive measures (fentanyl bolus; deepening of volatile anaesthesia from MAC-maintenance to MAC-intubation) anticipating the docking-induced stress response.Trial registration http://ctri.nic.in

    Abstract The total synthesis of cytotoxic polyketides myceliothermophins E (1), C (2), and D (3) through a cascade-based cyclization to form the trans-fused decalin system is described. The convergent synthesis delivered all three natural products through late-stage divergence and facilitated unambiguous C21 structural assignments for 2 and 3 through X-ray crystallographic analysis, which revealed an interesting dimeric structure between its enantiomeric forms.

    Abstract CRISPR technologies are nowadays widely used for targeted knockout of numerous protein-coding genes and for the study of various processes and metabolic pathways in human cells. Most attention in the genome editing field is now focused on the cleavage of protein-coding genes or genes encoding long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), while the studies on targeted knockout of intron-encoded regulatory RNAs are sparse. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) present a class of non-coding RNAs encoded within the introns of various host genes and involved in post-transcriptional maturation of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) in eukaryotic cells. Box C/D snoRNAs direct 2'-O-methylation of rRNA nucleotides. These short RNAs have specific elements in their structure, namely, boxes C and D, and a target-recognizing region.

    Abstract Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are one of the electrical drives that are rapidly gaining popularity, due to their high efficiency, good dynamic response and low maintenance. This paper briefly reviews the fundamentals behind the motor. Within the last decade, the research and development on BLDC motor drives have been focused on the motor topology design and optimization as well as the motor control strategies. Nevertheless, most of these converter topologies employ the hard-switching technique which causes high switching losses and severe electromagnetic interference. Recently, a number of soft-switching techniques have been successfully developed. In this paper, soft switching technique using IGBT’s is applied for Brushless DC Motor. Its principle of operation and simulation results will be given.

    Abstract Background and aims: Several devices enabling double-lumen tube (DLT) placement for thoracic surgeries are available, but there are no studies for D-blade video laryngoscope-guided DLT insertion. We compared the CMac D-blade videolaryngoscope™ and the Macintosh laryngoscope for DLT endobronchial intubation using parameters of time and attempts required for intubation, glottic view, incidence of complications and haemodynamic changes.
    Methods: Prospective, parallel group, randomised controlled clinical trial where sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists I and II patients aged 18-80 years scheduled for thoracic surgeries entailing DLT placement were randomly allocated in two groups based on the laryngoscopic device used for endobronchial intubation. Data were subjected to statistical analysis SPSS (version 17), the paired and Student's t-test for equality of means. Nominal categorical data between the groups were compared using Chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. P ˂ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: Time required for intubation was comparable (37.41 ± 18.80 s in Group-M and 32.27 ± 11.13 s in Group-D). Number of attempts and incidence of complications (trauma, DLT cuff rupture, oesophageal intubation) was greater in the Macintosh group, except malpositioning into the wrong bronchus (easily rectified fibre-optic bronchoscopically), which was greater with the D-blade. Greater haemodynamic changes were observed during Macintosh laryngoscopy.
    Conclusion: D-blade videolaryngoscope™ is a useful alternative to the standard Macintosh laryngoscope for routine DLT insertion.

    Author's details edited by Anwar Shah
    Abstract This book reviews taxing choices to protect the local and global environment and preserve and sustain natural resources. Alternative economic instruments such as carbon taxes and tradable permits to combat global climate change are also examined. Strategies and practices for the managing and sharing of revenues from natural resources are highlighted. Also, roles of various orders of government in managing, taxing, and sharing natural resources in selected countries are documented to highlight the impact of such division of responsibilities in preserving natural resources and the environment. The susceptibility of resource revenue dependent economies to corruption and malfeasance, and the Dutch disease, is also highlighted. This book could serve as a supplementary reference book for graduate and undergraduate courses and as a sourcebook for journalists, researchers, policymakers, and government practitioners. Anwar Shah is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution (Washington, D.C., USA) and Advisor at the World Bank and OECD. He has previously served the Asian Development Bank, Canadian Ministry of Finance, the Government of Alberta, and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

    Abstract Background: Role of Langerhans cells is well investigated in pathological conditions of oral tissues. No studies have been reported so far describing possible role of Langerhans cells in reactive gingival overgr owths. This study aims at evaluation of density of Langerhans cells in common localized gingival overgrowths. Materials and methods: Thirty-two specimens of localized gingival overgrowth s (19 fibromas and 13 pyogenic granulo - mas) were subjected to immunohistochemistry with anti-CD1a antibody for demonstration of Langerhans cells. Langerhans cells in each specimen were counted as number of cells/high power field. The density of Langerhans cells thus obtained in study groups was compar ed. It was also compared with the same in control group. Results: Mean number of CD1a-labeled cells in control group was 2.24 ± 1.11 cells/HPF. The mean number of CD1a-labeled cells was 2.39 ± 1.80 cells/HPF in pyogenic granuloma group, while in irritation fibroma group the mean number was as 1.71 ± 1.96 cells/HPF. The difference in the density of Langerhans cells among two stud y groups was not significant. Conclusion: Langerhans cells were an integral component of epithelium in both types of reactive lesions. A wide range in density of Langerhans cells was observed in both groups.
