Abstract
There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between epidural labour analgesia and risk of postpartum depression. Most previous studies were observational trials with limited ability to account for confounders. We aimed to determine if epidural analgesia was associated with a significant change in the incidence of postpartum depression in this randomised controlled trial. We enrolled women aged 21-50 years old with a singleton fetus ≥ 36 weeks gestation. Patients were advised regarding available labour analgesic modalities during enrolment (epidural block; intramuscular pethidine; nitrous oxide; or intravenous remifentanil). On request for analgesia, patients were offered the modality that they had been allocated randomly to first. Blinded investigators recorded patient and obstetric characteristics within 24 h of delivery and assessed for postpartum depression at 6-10 weeks following delivery using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (score ≥ 13 considered positive for postpartum depression). The modified intention-to-treat population consisted of all patients who received any form of labour analgesia, while per-protocol consisted of patients who received their randomised modality as their first form of labour analgesia. Of 881 parturients allocated randomly (epidural n = 441, non-epidural n = 440), we analysed 773 (epidural n = 389, non-epidural n = 384); 62 (15.9%) of women allocated to epidural group developed postpartum depression compared with 65 (16.9%) women allocate to the non-epidural group. There were no significant differences in the incidence of postpartum depression between the two groups (adjusted risk difference (95%CI) 1.6 (-3.0-6.3%), p = 0.49). Similar results were obtained with per-protocol analysis (adjusted risk difference (95%CI) -1.0 (-8.3-6.3%), p = 0.79). We found no significant difference in the risk of postpartum depression between patients who received epidural labour analgesia and those who utilised non-epidural analgesic modalities.

Abstract
The aim of the present work is to biosynthesize Chitosan nanoparticles (CTNp) using tea (Camellia sinensis) extract, with potent antimicrobial properties towards phytopathogens of rice. Preliminary chemical analysis of the extract showed that they contain carbohydrate as major compound and uronic acid indicating the nature of acidic polysaccharide. The structure of the isolated polysaccharide was analyzed through FTIR and 1H NMR. The CTNp was prepared by the addition of isolated tea polysaccharides to chitosan solution. The structure and size of the CTNp was determined through FTIR and DLS analyses. The surface morphology and size of the CTNp was analysed by SEM and HRTEM. The crystalinity nature of the synthesized nanoparticle was identified by XRD analysis. The CTNp exhibited the antimicrobial properties against the most devastating pathogens of rice viz., Pyricularia grisea, Xanthomonas oryzae under in vitro condition. CTNp also suppressed the blast and blight disease of rice under the detached leaf assay. These results suggest that the biosynthesized CTNp can be used to control the most devastating pathogens of rice.

Abstract
Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is caused by an Orthopoxvirus related to the variola virus that causes smallpox. Prior to 2022, mpox was considered a zoonotic disease endemic to central and west Africa. Since May 2022, more than 86,000 cases of mpox from 110 countries have been identified across the world, predominantly in men who have sex with men, most often acquired through close physical contact or during sexual activity. The classical clinical presentation of mpox is a prodrome including fever, lethargy, and lymphadenopathy followed by a characteristic vesiculopustular rash. The recent 2022 outbreak included novel presentations of mpox with a predominance of anogenital lesions, mucosal lesions, and other features such as anorectal pain, proctitis, oropharyngeal lesions, tonsillitis, and multiphasic skin lesions. We describe the demographics and clinical spectrum of classical and novel mpox, outlining the potential complications and management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous small studies used individualized growth assessment (IGA) to characterize prenatal growth velocities of singletons and twins. We aimed to compare second-trimester growth velocities of individual anatomical parameters between monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins, dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins and singleton fetuses in a larger study. METHODS This was a study of a novel cohort of 222 MCDA twins and previously published cohorts of 40 DCDA twins and 118 singletons with serial ultrasound data. Fetal biometric measurements of biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference and femur diaphysis length from prenatal ultrasound examinations were used to calculate second-trimester growth velocities using direct calculation or linear regression analysis. Linear fit was assessed based on the coefficient of determination (R2 ). Mean growth velocities and variances were compared among the three groups. RESULTS The majority of cases underwent three second-trimester ultrasound examinations with fetal biometry available. All fetuses had linear growth, with R2 > 99% for all parameters. Only 1-2% of all MCDA and DCDA anatomical parameters had abnormal growth velocity scores outside the 95% reference range for singletons. There were no significant differences in mean growth velocity for any parameter between MCDA twins and singletons. Femur diaphysis length growth velocity was significantly lower in DCDA twins than in both MCDA twins and singletons. There were no other significant differences among the groups. CONCLUSIONS Expanding on prior work using IGA, we found that second-trimester growth velocity of the four major anatomical parameters overall was similar between twins and singletons and between MCDA and DCDA twins, supporting the use of singleton-derived growth standards for IGA in twins. Twin growth potential appears to be similar to that of singletons in the second trimester, suggesting that subsequent growth divergence may be due to third-trimester physiological or pathological changes in twin pregnancies. © 2022 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
The present case highlights the endodontic management of a maxillary second molar with three roots and seven canals. Root canal treatment was performed for the maxillary second molar diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. During the procedure under magnification, extra canals were detected in the mesiobuccal root. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) evaluation confirmed four canals in the mesiobuccal root with Vertucci's Type XXI (4-1) pattern. The distobuccal root exhibited two canals with Vertucci's Type III (1-2-1) configuration. The palatal canal was single and large. A 4 year follow-up revealed satisfactory clinical and radiographic findings. Magnification and CBCT allow us to explore possible anatomic variations with insights to tackle such situations clinically.

Abstract
Background:To facilitate earlier diagnosis of spondyloarthritis (SpA), we have previously cross-culturally adapted a self-administered screening questionnaire.Objectives:We aimed to improve the sensitivity of this questionnaire as a screening tool by comparing various scoring methods.Methods:Subjects newly referred to a rheumatology clinic self-administered the questionnaire before seeing a rheumatologist. Identification of axial SpA by the questionnaire using original scoring (Method A) and scoring based on Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) inflammatory back pain (IBP) criteria (Method B), ASAS referral criteria (Method C), ASAS classification criteria (Method D) and a combination of ASAS referral and classification criteria (Method E) were compared to classification by the ASAS classification criteria and diagnosis by rheumatologist. Since Methods B-E were based on SpA features, we compared self-reported vs rheumatologist-documented features in subjects with axial SpA.Results:Of 1418 subjects (age: 54 ± 14 years, female: 73%), 39 were classified as axial SpA cases by classification criteria. Methods A-E yielded sensitivities of 39%, 72%, 67%, 49% and 85%, respectively, among patients newly referred to the rheumatology clinic (Table 1). Rheumatologist-documented clinical SpA features exceeded self-report for IBP (62 vs 44%) and uveitis (15 vs 5%). The reverse was true for arthritis (21 vs 80%), enthesitis (28 vs 33%), dactylitis (3 vs 18%), good response to NSAIDs (33 vs 41%) and family history for SpA (5 vs 10%).Table 1.Performance of the five scoring methods for the cross-culturally adapted Hamilton axial SpA questionnaire.Scoring methodSensitivity(95% confidence interval)Specificity(95% confidence interval)Positive predictive value(95% confidence interval)Negative predictive value(95% confidence interval)Method A38.5(23.4 – 55.4)93.7(92.3 – 94.9)14.7(8.5 – 23.1)98.2(97.3 – 98.8)Method B71.8(55.1 – 85.0)73.1(70.7 – 75.4)7.0(4.7 – 10.0)98.9(98.1 – 99.5)Method C66.7(49.8 – 80.9)77.8(75.5 – 80.0)7.8(5.2 – 11.3)98.8(98.0 – 99.4)Method D48.7(32.4 – 65.2)74.9(72.5 – 77.2)5.2(3.2 – 8.0)98.1(97.1 – 98.8)Method E84.6(69.5 – 94.1)37.2(34.6 – 39.8)3.7(2.5 – 5.1)98.8(97.5 – 99.6)Method A: the original scoring defined by the questionnaire developers; Method B: a scoring based on the ASAS IBP criteria; Method C: a scoring based on the ASAS referral criteria; Method D: a scoring based on the ASAS classification criteria for axial and peripheral SpA; Method E: a scoring based on a combination of the ASAS referral and classification criteria.Conclusion:A self-administered questionnaire scored based on a combination of ASAS referral and classification criteria achieved high sensitivity in identifying axial SpA in subjects referred to a rheumatology clinic.

Abstract
Background:The interval between symptom onset and diagnosis can often be longer than is ideal in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).Objectives:We aimed to characterise this interval among patients newly diagnosed with ARDs in a multi-ethnic Asian population and to identify factors associated with a longer interval.Methods:We used Scott’s model of pathways to treatment to characterise the interval between symptom onset and diagnosis into 4 intervals: #1 between symptom onset and first seeking medical attention, #2 between first medical attention and rheumatology referral, #3 between rheumatology referral and first rheumatology assessment, and #4 between first rheumatology assessment and diagnosis. Linear regression models were used to identify factors associated with a longer the overall interval between symptom onset and diagnosis and Interval #1.Results:Among 259 patients (age: 51±15 years, female: 71%, most common three ARDs: rheumatoid arthritis (n = 75), axial spondyloarthritis (n = 40) and psoriatic arthritis (n = 35)), the median overall interval was 11.5 months. Interval #1 (median = 4.9 months) was significantly longer than the other intervals (Table 1). Patients with axial spondyloarthritis had a significantly longer overall interval (median = 38.7 months) and Interval #1 (median = 26.6 months) compared to patients with RA (median = 7.6 and 3.5 months, respectively), PsA (median = 7.0 and 2.6 months, respectively) and the other ARDs. Gender was the only patient-related factor significantly associated with the overall interval (reference = male, coefficient = -15.3, p = 0.033) in regression models.Conclusion:A longer than ideal interval between symptom onset and diagnosis was observed among patients with ARDs. This was primarily due to a relatively long interval between symptom onset and first seeking medical attention, and highlights the importance of interventions targeting patients prior to first medical attention in reducing the duration between symptom onset and diagnosis.References:[1]Scott SE, Walter FM, Webster A, Sutton S, Emery J.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Testing for anti-TB drugs in small hair samples may serve as a non-invasive tool to measure cumulative drug exposure and/or adherence, as these determine treatment success. We aimed to assess how well hair assays of TB drugs predict TB treatment outcomes.METHODS: A small thatch of hair, ~30 strands, was cut from the occipital region in adults and children from a prospective TB cohort in India. Isoniazid (INH), acetyl-INH and pyrazinamide (PZA) were extracted from the hair samples and quantified using liquid-chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The relationship between drug concentrations in hair and time to unfavourable outcomes was assessed using Cox-proportional hazards regression models.RESULTS: A two-fold increase in hair acetyl-INH concentrations in the 264 participants in our cohort with hair assays for TB drugs indicated a lower hazard of unfavourable TB treatment outcomes (aHR 0.67, 95%CI 0.44-1.02) and TB treatment failure (aHR 0.65, 95%CI 0.42-1.01). Higher summed concentrations (a summed measure of INH and acetyl-INH) indicated a lower hazard of treatment failure (aHR 0.69, 95%CI 0.45-1.05)CONCLUSION: Hair levels of INH and its metabolite may predict TB treatment outcomes, indicating the potential utility of this measure to assess and optimise TB treatment outcomes.

Abstract
While it is well known that maternal temperature affects fetal heart rate, the exact relationship is not well described. The circumstances accompanying most cases of maternal hypothermia and rewarming (e.g. a drowning event) have precluded a precise quantitative description of this relationship. We describe hypothermia and controlled rewarming during resection of a maternal brain stem tumor in the early third trimester. Continuous electronic fetal heart rate and core temperature monitoring demonstrated a near linear relationship during the development of hypothermia and rewarming. Recognition of the close relationship between maternal temperature and fetal heart rate can help safeguard maternal and fetal health, and prevent unnecessary delivery during non-obstetric surgery in pregnancy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common reason for emergency hospitalization. In most patients, bleeding resolves spontaneously but some cases can be fatal. Risk prediction scores can be useful in risk stratifying patients with LGIB at the time of presentation although the most discriminative LGIB risk score is unknown.
Aims
To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing LGIB risk prediction scores.
Methods
Following the PRISMA statement, a systematic search for relevant publications after 1990 was conducted in Ovid Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science and CENTRAL electronic databases. We also searched published conference abstracts over the past 5 years. Studies with a primary aim of deriving or validating a LGIB risk score were included. Title and abstracts were reviewed by two independent reviewers followed by full text review and data extraction by both reviewers. Diagnostic classification data for combinations of risk score and clinical outcome were meta-analyzed using a hierarchical summary receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) model, allowing for random-effects by study, and fixed-effect of the risk score thresholds to influence both sensitivity and specificity. Area under the summary ROC were estimated from model parameters for the pre-specified LGIB risk score thresholds-of-interest.
Results
Our search identified 2,331 citations for review, of which 100 remained after the title and abstract screen, and 18 ultimately met criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis after full text review. From these, we identified 21 risk prediction scores for LGIB, although only four had sufficient number of papers to meta-analyze (Oakland, Strate, NOBLADS, and BLEED score). For the outcome safe discharge from hospital, the Oakland score had an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of 85.5% (95% CI: 82.1%, 88.3%). For the outcome major bleeding, the Oakland score had an AUROC of 78.9% (95% CI: 75.1%, 82.2%); the Strate score had an AUROC of 74.4% (95% CI: 70.4%, 78.0%); the NOBLADS score had an AUROC of 60.3% (95% CI: 55.9%, 64.5%); and the BLEED score had an AUROC of 65.6% (95% CI: 61.4%, 69.7%). For the outcome, need for hemostasis, the Oakland had an AUROC of 99.0% (95% CI: 97.7%, 99.6%); the Strate score had an AUROC of 82.1% (95% CI: 78.5%, 85.2%); the NOBLADS score had an AUROC of 23.9% (95% CI: 20.3%, 27.8%). For the outcome, need for transfusion, the Oakland score had an AUROC of 99.0% (95% CI: 97.7%, 99.6%); the NOBLADS score had an AUROC of 87.7% (95% CI: 84.5%, 90.3%).
Conclusions
The Oakland score was the most discriminative risk prediction model for safe discharge from hospital, major bleeding, need for hemostasis, and need for transfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether elective preterm delivery (ED) at 34 weeks is of postnatal benefit to infants with isolated gastroschisis compared with routine obstetric care (RC). METHODS Between May 2013 and September 2015, all women with a sonographic diagnosis of fetal gastroschisis referred to a single tertiary center, before 34 weeks' gestation, were invited to participate in this study. Eligible patients were randomized to ED (induction of labor at 34 weeks) or RC (spontaneous labor or delivery by 37-38 weeks, based on standard obstetric indications). The primary outcome measure was length of time on total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Secondary outcomes were time to closure of gastroschisis and length of stay in hospital. Outcome variables were compared using appropriate statistical methods. Analysis was based on intention-to-treat. RESULTS Twenty-five women were assessed for eligibility, of whom 21 (84%; 95% CI, 63.9-95.5%) agreed to participate in the study; of these, 10 were randomized to ED and 11 to RC. The trial was stopped at the first planned interim analysis due to patient safety concerns and for futility; thus, only 21 of the expected 86 patients (24.4%; 95% CI, 15.8-34.9%) were enrolled. Median gestational age at delivery was 34.3 (range, 34-36) weeks in the ED group and 36.7 (range, 27-38) weeks in the RC group. One patient in the ED group delivered at 36 weeks following unsuccessful induction at 34 weeks. Neonates of women who underwent ED, compared to those in the RC group, showed no difference in the median number of days on TPN (54 (range, 17-248) vs 21 (range, 9-465) days; P = 0.08), number of days to closure of gastroschisis (7 (range, 0-15) vs 5 (range, 0-8) days; P = 0.28) and length of stay in hospital (70.5 (range, 22-137) vs 31 (range, 19-186) days; P = 0.15). However, neonates in the ED group were significantly more likely to experience late-onset sepsis compared with those in the RC group (40% (95% CI, 12.2-73.8%) vs 0%; P = 0.03). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates no benefit of ED of fetuses with gastroschisis when postnatal gastroschisis management is similar to that used in routine care. Rather, the data suggest that ED is detrimental to infants with gastroschisis. Copyright © 2019 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Introduction Usually discomfort and pain are associated with dental work, especially for young patients. Pain control can be achieved by using anesthesia. Sight of injection can terrify any patient and if the patient is a child it is really difficult to convince them for injections. Alternatives to injections have been explored. Pediatric dentists are using anesthesia in the form of jelly and patch. Recently, the concept of mucosal vibration has been put forward to enhance the effectiveness of local anesthesia. Aim The aim of the present study was to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of lignocaine jelly and mucosal vibration in reducing pain during administration of local anesthesia in pediatric dental patients. Materials and methods Thirty children in the age group 6 to 11 years who required bilateral anesthesia for dental treatment in mandible were selected for this study. Pain was compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test at the time of injection using Sound, Eye, Motor (SEM) scale as objective criteria and facial pain rating (FPR) scale as subjective criteria after administration of injection by a trained assistant who was blinded to the procedure. Results Local anesthetic injection along with mucosal vibration resulted in significantly less pain (p = 0.001) in comparison with the injections without the use of mucosal vibration. Conclusion The result shows that mucosal vibration can be used as an effective means to reduce the intensity of pain during local anesthetic injection in dentistry.

Abstract
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is an uncommon gingival disease of attached gingiva, which is manifested as localized or generalized form. The HGF inheritance is transmitted through both autosomal dominant and recessive modes. Here, we are discussing a rare case report of an 8-year-old child with gingival fibromatosis in mixed dentition, which caused damage to his speech, mastication, and esthetics and led to significant change in his facial profile. The patient noticed that the gingival enlargement was simultaneous with deciduous dentition eruption and gradually covered entire dentition. Gingival enlargement covered all teeth anteriorly and posteriorly and only occlusal surfaces were visible. The enlarged tissue was resected by the external bevel gingivectomy under general anesthesia arch wise. The postoperative healing was satisfactory, uneventful, and there was significant change in patient’s esthetics. Patient has been kept on regular recall visits.

Abstract
Assessing treatment adherence and quantifying exposure to anti-tuberculosis drugs among children is challenging. We undertook a 'proof of concept' study to assess the drug concentrations of isoniazid (INH) in hair as a therapeutic drug monitoring tool. Children aged <12 years initiated on a thrice-weekly treatment regimen including INH (10 mg/kg) for newly diagnosed tuberculosis were enrolled. INH concentrations in hair were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry at 1, 2, 4 and 6 months after initiating anti-tuberculosis treatment. We found that INH hair concentrations in all children on thrice-weekly INH were detectable and displayed variability across a dynamic range.

Abstract
Introduction: Sub-trochanteric fractures of the femur remains one of the most challenging fractures faced by orthopaedic surgeons. This study was done to analyse the management and complications of sub-trochanteric fractures using long proximal femoral nail (PFN). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 50 patients with sub-trochanteric fractures of femur who were treated with long PFN at a tertiary care center from July 2012 to June 2016. The fractures were classified according to Seinsheimer classification. All patients were assessed functionally by Harris Hip Score. Results: Average duration of union was 17.08 weeks (range 13 to 32 weeks), union was achieved in 92% cases. Closed reduction was achieved in 68% cases and open reduction was required in 32% cases. Various intraoperative complications were seen in 12% and delayed complications in 26% of cases. Good anatomical results were achieved in 86% of cases and 14% were fair. As per Harris Hip score, excellent results were noted in 28% cases, good in 56% cases and fair in 16% cases. Conclusion: The long PFN is a reliable implant for subtrochanteric femur fractures, with high rate of bone union and minimal soft tissue damage. Intramedullary fixation has biological and biomechanical advantages, but the surgery is technically demanding.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lifelong preservation of tooth in a healthy state is the ultimate goal of dentistry. Premature loss of primary teeth is common due to caries, dental trauma or other causes. As the primary teeth are the best space maintainers, teeth with infected pulps should be retained until exfoliation, whenever possible. AIM The purpose of this in vivo study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of different obturating methods used in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty one patients aged four to nine years with a total of 60 teeth were selected. Out of the 60 teeth, 32 were primary mandibular first molars and 28 were primary mandibular second molars, the sample was randomly divided into three groups. Disposable syringe, lentulo spiral and past inject were used for obturation. Postoperative evaluation was done for; quality of canal obturation, presence of voids using postoperative radiographs following obturation of teeth. The data were analysed to assess the success rate of the three methods used for obturation using Chi-square test. RESULTS Among the three groups of the study, past inject exhibited the maximum number of optimally filled canals. Maximum number of underfilled canals was found with lentulospiral, and the maximum number of overfilled canals was seen with disposable syringe. Least number of voids was observed in canals filled with the past inject technique and disposable syringe. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the most successful technique for obturation of primary teeth was past inject.

Abstract
Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is the etiologic agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), which occurs in epidemic form in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected individuals. Saliva is the only mucosal fluid in which infectious HHV-8 has been identified, although factors associated with HHV-8 salivary shedding remain unclear. Our study performed PCR analysis for HHV-8 DNA in saliva (and other body fluids) in 66 HIV- and HHV-8-co-infected women without KS so that we could examine predictors for HHV-8 DNA detection. CD4 count was the most significant predictor of HHV-8 salivary shedding, with increased prevalence of HHV-8 salivary DNA at higher CD4 counts. The odds of salivary HHV8 shedding at CD4 counts > = 350 cells/μL was 63 times the odds of shedding at CD4 < 350 (95%CI, 1.3–3078), with an increase in effect size when the analysis was restricted to those with a CD4 nadir > 200. Analysis of these data suggests an increased potential for HHV-8 transmission early in HIV infection, with implications for HHV-8 prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biological similarities are noted between aging and HIV infection. Middle-aged adults with HIV infection may present as elderly due to accelerated aging or having more severe aging phenotypes occurring at younger ages. OBJECTIVES We explored age-adjusted prevalence of frailty, a geriatric condition, among HIV+ and at risk HIV- women. DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING The Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). PARTICIPANTS 2028 middle-aged (average age 39 years) female participants (1449 HIV+; 579 HIV-). MEASUREMENTS The Fried Frailty Index (FFI), HIV status variables, and constellations of variables representing Demographic/health behaviors and Aging-related chronic diseases. Associations between the FFI and other variables were estimated, followed by stepwise regression models. RESULTS Overall frailty prevalence was 15.2% (HIV+, 17%; HIV-, 10%). A multivariable model suggested that HIV infection with CD4 count<200; age>40 years; current or former smoking; income ≤$12,000; moderate vs low fibrinogen-4 (FIB-4) levels; and moderate vs high estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were positively associated with frailty. Low or moderate drinking was protective. CONCLUSIONS Frailty is a multidimensional aging phenotype observed in mid-life among women with HIV infection. Prevalence of frailty in this sample of HIV-infected women exceeds that for usual elderly populations. This highlights the need for geriatricians and gerontologists to interact with younger 'at risk' populations, and assists in the formulation of best recommendations for frailty interventions to prevent early aging, excess morbidities and early death.
