    Abstract Dental caries, also known as cavities, are the most prevalent dental problem in children. The etiology is mostly multifactorial and a result of an imbalance between the constant mineralization and demineralization on the tooth surface. It is important to assess oral health risks, counsel caregivers, and encourage oral hygiene. Recent guidelines by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) underscore the evolving role of the pediatrician in initiating early dental health interventions.

    Abstract Title: Translation and validation of Bristol Female lower urinary tract symptoms (BFLUTS) questionnaire for Nepali speaking women Introduction: Bristol female lower urinary tract symptoms questionnaire (BFLUTS) was designed to identify the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in women. It aids in determining the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms and how they affect sexual function and quality of life.It can be employed in research and therapeutic practice. It is not available in Nepali version. As a result, our goal is to translate and validate the BFLUTS questionnaire in Nepali.
    Methods: The BFLUTS questionnaire has been translated into Nepali. From March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021, 225 Nepalese patients with lower urinary tract symptoms were evaluated using a Nepali version of the BFLUTS questionnaire adapted from the English version. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, validity, and change responsiveness were all assessed.
    Results: A total of 225   patients were enrolled in the study. The missing data was less than 2%. The Nepali version of the BFLUTS questionnaire showed good reliability (? = 0.76; ICC= 0.934). Test-retest reliability was assessed with weighted kappa (?) ranging from 0.71 to 0.83.It showed good sensitive to change before and after the treatment. Mean BFLUTS scores correlated strongly with the symptomsof lower urinary tract symptoms reported in the bladder diary with ? ranging from 0.689to 0.859.
    Conclusions: The Nepali version of BFLUTS questionnaire is a reliable, valid and consistent for measuring lower urinary tract symptoms and their effect on sexual function and quality of life.

    Abstract Background:  Hypothermia is a condition characterized by a decreased body temperature. It takes place when the body is exposed to cold weather or water for a longer period of time. Different types of hypothermia include acute hypothermia, exhaustion hypothermia, and chronic hypothermia. Excessive shivering, breathing difficulty, slurred speech, confusion, drowsiness, a weak pulse, and a loss of consciousness are the symptoms related to hypothermia.
    Aims: The aim of this study was to see how effective co-warming and pre-warming are at reducing the risk of intraoperative hypothermia.
    Materials and methods: A randomized, prospective, comparative clinical study was conducted in a population of 60 participants. Participants were divided into two groups. Participants in group A received pre-warming for 30 minutes at 40°C before transport to the operation theater and also received co-warming before induction of anesthesia. Group B includes those who received co-warming at 40°C from the point of induction of anesthesia.
    Results: The mean age (years) of participants in groups A and B was identified as 43.3 ± 11.84 and 45.93 ± 15.87, respectively. The majority of the participants in the study population were males in groups A and B, with 66.67% and 73.33%, respectively. The medians of core temperature and peripheral temperature at the baseline were identified as 36.80 (36.20 to 37.12) and 32.55 (32.38 to 32.72) in group A. Similarly, it was observed as 36 (35.70 to 36.20) and 32 (31.60 to 32.02) in group B. The medians of core temperature and peripheral temperature after the surgery were identified as 34.50 (34.20 to 35) and 32.65 (31.95 to 33) in group A. Similarly, it was identified as 34 (33.80 to 34.25) and 32 (32.10 to 32.25) in group B.
    Conclusion:  Our study concluded that it is important to prevent hypothermia in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Pre-operative and intraoperative warming showed a decrease in the rate of fall in core temperature. Hence, both techniques are effective in reducing hypothermia.

    Abstract The increasing trend of autonomous driving vehicles in smart cities emphasizes the need for safe travel. However, the presence of obstacles, potholes, and complex road environments, such as poor illumination and occlusion, can cause blurred road images that may impact the accuracy of maneuver prediction in visual perception systems. To address these challenges, a novel ensemble model named ABHO-based deep CNN-BiLSTM has been proposed for traffic sign detection. This model combines a hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) with the alarming-based hunting optimization (ABHO) algorithm to improve maneuver prediction accuracy. Additionally, a modified hough-enabled lane generative adversarial network (ABHO based HoughGAN) has been proposed, which is designed to be robust to blurred images. The ABHO algorithm, inspired by the defending and social characteristics of starling birds and Canis kojot, allows the model to efficiently search for the optimal solution from the available solutions in the search space. The proposed ensemble model has shown significantly improved accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in maneuver prediction compared to previously utilized methods, with minimal error during lane detection. Overall, the proposed ensemble model addresses the challenges faced by autonomous driving vehicles in complex and obstructed road environments, offering a promising solution for enhancing safety and reliability in smart cities.

    Abstract Continuous Spinal Anaesthesia (CSA) technique has all the advantages of single-shot spinal anaesthesia with the added benefit of prolonging the duration of anaesthesia. CSA has been used as a primary method of anaesthesia as an alternative to general anaesthesia in high-risk and elderly patients for various elective and emergency surgical procedures involving the abdomen, lower limbs, and vascular surgeries. CSA has also been used in some obstetrics units. Despite its advantages, CSA technique remains underutilised because it is surrounded with myths, mysteries, and controversies concerning neurological, other morbidities and minor technical difficulties. This article includes a description of CSA technique compared to other contemporary central neuraxial blocks. It also discusses the perioperative applications of CSA for different surgical and obstetrics procedures, advantages, disadvantages, complications, problems, and pointers on how to perform the technique safely.

    Abstract Background: Nanoscience and nanotechnology have resulted in the continuous development of new nanomaterials with remarkable properties that make them appealing for pharmaceutical applications. The biocompatibility of metallic nanoparticles is of increasing interest for research scientists currently working towards developing novel nano-based medicines, industrial chemicals, and antigens. There is also a particular interest in using them to counter mutations that up-regulate inflammation enhancers to produce a range of inflammation-related pathologies.
    Aim: The following review discusses the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of metallic bioconjugated (silver, gold, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and selenium) nanoparticles. The current study focuses on nanoparticle manufacturing technologies and the inflammatory response.
    Methodology: A thorough search was conducted in several databases, including Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed. The search terms used included: Alzheimer's disease, mechanism of action, neuroinflammation, the reaction of Mast cells to stress and neuroinflammation. The study included all publications published in English.
    Results: Green-synthesised nanoparticles can suppress the NF-B and cyclooxygenase-2 pathways, preventing the production of proinflammatory cytokines and ROS scavenging mechanisms. Metallic nanoparticles with anti-inflammatory properties, such as stability and specific targeting, have been briefly discussed.
    Conclusion: The current research focuses on metallic nanoparticles employed as anti-inflammatory medication molecules, although nanoparticles have applications in various areas (medicine, chemical engineering, and agriculture). Nanoparticles have a large surface-to-volume ratio, which can help them to penetrate cell membranes, and because of their solid ligand-binding capabilities, nanoparticles have been used in the medical treatment of inflammatory pathologies.

    Abstract Background: Lamin A/C (LMNA) mutations account for 5-8% of familial dilated cardiomyopathies, and can manifest with conduction abnormalities and ventricular arrhythmias in 78% of patients. Therefore, when suspected, it is important to implant the correct type of device.
    Case summary: A 52-year-old gentleman with a family history of cardiomyopathy, presented with asymptomatic atrial fibrillation and complete atrioventricular block associated with a narrow QRS interval. Investigations confirmed dilated and severely impaired left ventricular systolic function. He underwent successful conduction system pacing in combination with a primary prevention defibrillator. Genetic screening confirmed LMNA cardiomyopathy. During 3 years follow up, his left ventricular function remained unchanged with stable conduction system capture and he received appropriate therapy from his device for ventricular tachycardia.
    Discussion: His-bundle pacing promotes rapid and synchronous activation of the ventricles via the intrinsic conduction system of the heart. In selected individuals with LMNA cardiomyopathy, conduction system pacing is viable alternative to conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy using coronary sinus tributaries.
