    Abstract The 3D to 2D registration technique in spine surgery is vital to aid surgeons in avoiding the wrong site surgery by estimating the vertebral pose. The vertebral poses are estimated by generating the spatial correspondence relationship between pre-operative MR with intra-operative x-ray images, then evaluated using a similarity measure. Different similarity measures are used in 3D to 2D registration techniques to assess the spatial correspondence between the pre-operative and intra-operative images. However, to evaluate the registration performance of the similarity measures, the proposed framework employs three different similarity measures: Binary Image Matching, Dice Coefficients, and Normalized Cross-correlation technique to compare the images based on pixel positions. The registration accuracy of the proposed similarity measures is compared based on the mean Target Registration Error, mean Iteration Times, and success rate. In the absence of simulated test images, the experiment is conducted on the simulated AP and Lateral test images. The experiment conducted on the simulated test images shows that all three similarity measures work well for the feature based 3D to 2D registration in that BIM gives better results. The experiment also indicates high registration accuracy when the initial displacements are varied up to ±20 mm and ±10

    Abstract Purpose: The reliable estimation of the vertebral body posture helps to aid a safe and effective spine surgery. The proposed work aims to present an MR to X-ray image registration to assess the 3D pose of the vertebral body during spine surgery. The 3D assessment of vertebral pose assists in analyzing the position and orientation of the vertebral body to provide information during various clinical diagnosis conditions such as curvature estimation and pedicle screw insertion surgery.
    Methods: The proposed feature-based registration framework extracted vertebral end plates to avoid the mismatch between the intensities of MR and X-ray images. Using the projection matrix, the segmented MRI is forward projected and then registered to the X-ray image using binary image matching similarity and the CMA-ES optimizer.
    Results: The proposed method estimated the vertebral pose by registering the simulated X-ray onto pre-operative MRI. To evaluate the efficacy of the proposed approach, a certain number of experiments are carried out on the simulated dataset.
    Conclusion: The proposed method is a fast and accurate registration method that can provide 3D information about the vertebral body. This 3D information is useful to improve accuracy during various clinical diagnoses.

    Abstract Background and objective Several studies have indicated an escalation in the stress and anxiety levels among all sections of the population at large during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this challenging environment, meditation or yoga can help in maintaining the quality of life. This pilot study aimed to assess the willingness to practice meditation as a tool to manage anxiety, perceived stress levels, and psychological well-being (quality of life) during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Materials and methods Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were employed to characterize the attitude of healthy Indian adults toward meditation as a stress management tool and its impact on psychological well-being. Primary data of 241 participants were collected using Google Forms circulated via email and social media platforms through the snowball sampling technique. The self-reported data on four different psychosocial scales, viz., for anxiety measurement [the Seven-Item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS)], for stress measurement [Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)], and to quantify well-being levels [the Five-Item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5)], along with those on their perception toward meditation were obtained. Results Our findings suggest that the anxiety and perceived stress scores are lower among those practicing some form of relaxation or meditation than those not practicing it, along with those who already report better psychological well-being and perceived stress. The bivariate results indicated that willingness to meditate among those who were practicing some form of meditation and those not mediating significantly differed based on their age, presence of comorbidities, and GAD and PSS levels. The multivariate logistic regression showed that only those individuals aged 35 years and above and those who have some comorbidity symptoms showed a significant level of willingness to opt for meditation. Conclusions In order to attain proper relief from psychological issues during a pandemic situation such as the current one, a more specific remedial module for meditation procedure needs to be devised as an intervention, and it should be kept in mind that age and comorbidity status also play a significant role with respect to individuals' attitude toward meditation as a tool for psychological relief.

    Abstract In Nepal, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) has been targeted for elimination as a public health problem by 2026. Recently, increasing numbers of VL cases have been reported from districts of doubtful endemicity including hills and mountains, threatening the ongoing VL elimination program in Nepal. We conducted a multi-disciplinary, descriptive cross-sectional survey to assess the local transmission of Leishmania donovani in seven such districts situated at altitudes of up to 1,764 meters in western Nepal from March to December 2019. House-to-house surveys were performed for socio-demographic data and data on past and current VL cases. Venous blood was collected from all consenting individuals aged ≥2 years and tested with the rK39 RDT. Blood samples were also tested with direct agglutination test, and a titer of ≥1:1600 was taken as a marker of infection. A Leishmania donovani species-specific PCR (SSU-rDNA) was performed for parasite species confirmation. We also captured sand flies using CDC light traps and mouth aspirators. The house-to-house surveys documented 28 past and six new VL cases of which 82% (28/34) were without travel exposure. Overall, 4.1% (54/1320) of healthy participants tested positive for L. donovani on at least one serological or molecular test. Among asymptomatic individuals, 17% (9/54) were household contacts of past VL cases, compared to 0.5% (6/1266) among non-infected individuals. Phlebotomus argentipes, the vector of L. donovani, was found in all districts except in Bajura. L. donovani was confirmed in two asymptomatic individuals and one pool of sand flies of Phlebotomus (Adlerius) sp. We found epidemiological and entomological evidence for local transmission of L. donovani in areas previously considered as non-endemic for VL. The national VL elimination program should revise the endemicity status of these districts and extend surveillance and control activities to curb further transmission of the disease.

    Abstract Background and aims: In patients undergoing open heart surgery, chest tubes are removed postoperatively when patients are well awake and stable. Pain during chest tube removal can be moderate to severe and can be the worst experience of hospitalization. Various modalities of pain relief during chest tube removal have been tried with variable results. We sought to examine the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as an intervention for pain relief during chest tube removal after cardiac surgery.
    Material and methods: In a tertiary care center, fifty patients undergoing open heart surgery were randomized into two groups. Group TENS (
    Results: Mean visual analog pain score assessed for chest tube removal was significantly less 4.1 ± 1.2 (
    Conclusion: We conclude that TENS might not replace the conventional analgesics but has definite adjuvant role in decreasing pain scores and improves sense of well-being during chest tube removal after cardiac surgery.
