    Abstract This paper reports impacts of urban pollution on the biochemical and morphological characteristics of Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) in particular the effects of urban industrial dustfall deposition on its foliar surface at a residential site (Jawaharlal Nehru University, JNU) and an industrial site (Sahibabad, SB) in Delhi region. Atmospheric dustfall fluxes were estimated for major anions and cations. Morphological analysis of foliar samples was carried out by using the scanning electron microscope. Biochemical parameters, namely chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, total soluble sugar, proline amino acid and ascorbic acid were also analysed in foliar samples. Results showed that the dustfall fluxes of () at the industrial site were almost three times higher than that of the residential site. This can be attributed to the emissions of industrial activities and diesel-driven vehicular traffic in the area. It was observed that these elevated fluxes of and had significant impacts on the biochemical constituents of the plant and foliar morphology. Concentrations of chlorophyll and carotenoids were recorded decreasing with increasing dustfall fluxes of (), whereas proline and ascorbic acid were found to be increasing with the increase in the dustfall fluxes of () indicating the effect of pollution stress. The study showed that the deposition of dustfall was responsible for damage to stomata and leaf surface morphology, more significantly at the industrial site.

    Abstract Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred route for vascular access in patients with chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis. Many studies have demonstrated the positive effects of perioperative hand exercise on fistula maturation. Here, we present our experience of radio cephalic AVF creation in patients with neuromuscular disorders who had difficulty performing isometric hand exercises. We created AVF in three patients with neurological disorders. First patient had essential tremor, which created difficulty during hand exercises and surgery while the other two patients had right hemiparesis. Perioperative isometric exercises have been shown to help in maturation of AVF. Due to neurological involvement, our patients had difficulty performing hand exercises. All had successful AVF despite taking longer than usual time to mature. Creation of AVF in neuromuscular diseases is feasible. A preoperative Doppler ultrasound to assess the vessels might help in making an informed decision. This might spare such patients the only functional arm.

    Abstract Introduction: Urogenital fistula is a physically, socially and psychologically devastating condition for the patient. In developed countries, these fistulae are typically related to gynecological surgery, pelvic pathology like malignancy or post radiation therapy. In contrast, classical teaching is that urogenital fistulae in the developing countries like India are usually associated with prolonged labor and obstetric complications. This retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care health Institute shows a paradigm shift in epidemiology, etiology and management of genitourinary fistulae in India in recent times.
    Methods: This retrospective study included patients undergoing surgical repair for various genitourinary fistulae at our institute from 2016 to 2022. Epidemiology, etiology, site, size and number of fistulae, clinical presentation, and management records of these patients were recorded and reviewed retrospectively.
    Results: In our study, the mean age of the patients was 38.4 ± 10.2 years. Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) was found to be most common fistula in the study population (87.5%) followed by vesicouterine (7.1%) and urethrovaginal fistula (5.4%). The causes of genitourinary fistula were iatrogenic (73.2%), carcinoma of cervix (16.1%), obstructed prolonged labor (7.1%), and genitourinary tuberculosis (3.57%). Among the 48 vesicovaginal fistulas that underwent surgery, 45.8% were treated using a transvaginal approach, 29.2% were managed through a laparoscopic transabdominal repair, and 25% were addressed using a robotic approach. Recurrence occurred in 7.1% of the operated patients.
    Conclusion: Enhanced healthcare services in the country have contributed to a decrease in the incidence of obstructed labor, subsequently reducing related injuries. Iatrogenic injuries resulting from gynecological surgeries and carcinoma cervix have given rise to more complex fistulas, necessitating the implementation of advanced treatment strategies.

  7. Book ; Online: Mitigating Perspective Distortion-induced Shape Ambiguity in Image Crops

    Abstract Objects undergo varying amounts of perspective distortion as they move across a camera's field of view. Models for predicting 3D from a single image often work with crops around the object of interest and ignore the location of the object in the camera's field of view. We note that ignoring this location information further exaggerates the inherent ambiguity in making 3D inferences from 2D images and can prevent models from even fitting to the training data. To mitigate this ambiguity, we propose Intrinsics-Aware Positional Encoding (KPE), which incorporates information about the location of crops in the image and camera intrinsics. Experiments on three popular 3D-from-a-single-image benchmarks: depth prediction on NYU, 3D object detection on KITTI & nuScenes, and predicting 3D shapes of articulated objects on ARCTIC, show the benefits of KPE.

    Abstract Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection is the recommended treatment for managing muscle-invasive carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Early recurrence is observed in only about 4.1% of cases. Port-site metastasis following robot-assisted radical cystectomy is extremely rare. We encountered a challenging and a rare case of bladder cancer that manifested with port-site and peritoneal metastasis within 6 weeks of surgery.

    Abstract Over the past few years, the research community has witnessed a burgeoning interest in biomimetics, particularly within the marine sector. The study of biomimicry as a revolutionary remedy for numerous commercial and research-based marine businesses has been spurred by the difficulties presented by the harsh maritime environment. Biomimetic marine robots are at the forefront of this innovation by imitating various structures and behaviors of marine life and utilizing the evolutionary advantages and adaptations these marine organisms have developed over millennia to thrive in harsh conditions. This thorough examination explores current developments and research efforts in biomimetic marine robots based on their propulsion mechanisms. By examining these biomimetic designs, the review aims to solve the mysteries buried in the natural world and provide vital information for marine improvements. In addition to illuminating the complexities of these bio-inspired mechanisms, the investigation helps to steer future research directions and possible obstacles, spurring additional advancements in the field of biomimetic marine robotics. Considering the revolutionary potential of using nature's inventiveness to navigate and thrive in one of the most challenging environments on Earth, the current review's conclusion urges a multidisciplinary approach by integrating robotics and biology. The field of biomimetic marine robotics not only represents a paradigm shift in our relationship with the oceans, but it also opens previously unimaginable possibilities for sustainable exploration and use of marine resources by understanding and imitating nature's solutions.

    Abstract Objectives: To correlate the cross-sectional area (CSA) and elasticity of the median nerve (MN) measured at carpal tunnel inlet between healthy controls and various degrees of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) graded as per nerve conduction studies (NCS).
    Materials and methods: A total of 53 patients (with 81 wrists) presenting with clinical symptoms characteristic of CTS, having their diagnosis confirmed and severity graded by NCS, and 48 healthy controls (with 96 wrists) were included in the study. All the study participants underwent wrist ultrasound which included initial Grey-scale USG followed by strain and shear wave elastography. The CSA and elasticity (in terms of strain ratio and shear modulus) of MN were measured at the carpal tunnel inlet. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test to compare between the two groups and for subgroup analysis of cases. The diagnostic performance of each variable was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curves.
    Results: The mean CSA was 9.20 ± 1.64, 11.48 ± 1.05, 14.83 ± 1.19 and 19.87 ± 2.68 mm
    Conclusion: The combined utility of Grey-scale USG and Elastography may serve as a painless and cost-effective alternative to NCS in grading the severity of CTS.
