Abstract
In the realm of high-performance sports, athletes often prioritize success at the expense of their well-being. Consequently, sports psychology researchers are now focusing on creating psychological profiles for athletes that can forecast their performance while safeguarding their overall well-being. A recent development in this field is the concept of athletic mental energy (AME), which has been associated with both sporting success and positive emotions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore if AME in athletes can mediate this directly observed relationship between performance and psychological well-being. For stronger predictive validity these relationships were examined across two studies with each involving distinct sets of participants engaged in various sports disciplines, including football, cricket, basketball, archery, and more. The self-report measures of sports performance, athletic mental energy (AME), and psychological well-being (PWB) were administered post-competition on the local, regional, state, national, international, and professional level athletes of age 18 and above. Our study found that both, the affective and cognitive components of AME mediated the athletes' performance and psychological well-being relationship. Interestingly, the study found no significant gender differences in AME and PWB scores. While family structures didn't yield significant variations in AME scores, there were some descriptive distinctions in PWB scores across different family structures. Our research offers preliminary evidence suggesting that AME can play a pivotal role in preserving athletes' psychological well-being following competitive events.

Abstract
COVID‐19 infection immediately after liver transplantation presents a unique and challenging situation. In this report, we present the case of an 11‐year‐old girl who underwent emergency living donor liver transplantation for acute liver failure. After an uneventful intra‐operative course, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. On the second postoperative day, the patient developed unexplained severe hypoxia. A polymerase chain reaction test was positive for SARS‐CoV‐2 virus and a hypercoagulable state was indicated by laboratory investigations. Despite therapies such as mechanical ventilation and therapeutic anticoagulation, further clinical deterioration occurred. On the seventh postoperative day, the patient’s pupils were fully dilated bilaterally and unreactive to light, and brain death was later confirmed. This report highlights unique challenges pertaining to oxygenation, coagulation and immunosuppression after liver transplantation in a child with COVID‐19. Hypoxia of unknown origin in the postoperative period should prompt consideration of COVID‐19 as a possible cause.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal method for managing concomitant gallbladder stones and common bile duct (CBD) stones is debatable. The currently preferred method is two-stage endoscopic stone extraction followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This prospective randomized trial compared the success and cost effectiveness of single- and two-stage management of patients with concomitant gallbladder and CBD stones. METHODS Consecutive patients with concomitant gallbladder and CBD stones were randomized to either single-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration and cholecystectomy (group 1) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for endoscopic extraction of CBD stones followed by LC (group 2). Success was defined as complete clearance of CBD and cholecystectomy by the intended method. Cost effectiveness was measured using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Intention-to-treat analysis was performed to compare outcomes. RESULTS From February 2009 to October 2012, 168 patients were randomized: 84 to the single-stage procedure (group 1) and 84 to the two-stage procedure (group 2). Both groups were matched with regard to demographic and clinical parameters. The success rates of laparoscopic CBD exploration and ERCP for clearance of CBD were similar (91.7 vs. 88.1 %). The overall success rate also was comparable: 88.1 % in group 1 and 79.8 % in group 2 (p = 0.20). Direct choledochotomy was performed in 83 of the 84 patients. The mean operative time was significantly longer in group 1 (135.7 ± 36.6 vs. 72.4 ± 27.6 min; p ≤ 0.001), but the overall hospital stay was significantly shorter (4.6 ± 2.4 vs. 5.3 ± 6.2 days; p = 0.03). Group 2 had a significantly greater number of procedures per patient (p < 0.001) and a higher cost (p = 0.002). The two groups did not differ significantly in terms of postoperative wound infection rates or major complications. CONCLUSIONS Single- and two-stage management for uncomplicated concomitant gallbladder and CBD stones had similar success and complication rates, but the single-stage strategy was better in terms of shorter hospital stay, need for fewer procedures, and cost effectiveness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After the first report of laparoscopic incisional and ventral hernia repair (LIVHR) in 1993, several studies have proven its efficacy over open method. Among the technical issues, the technique of mesh fixation to the abdominal wall is still an area of debate. This prospective randomized study was done to compare two techniques of mesh fixation, i.e., tacker with four corner transfascial sutures versus transfascial sutures alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS 68 patients admitted for LIVHR repair (defect size less than 25 cm2) were randomized in two groups: group I, tacker fixation (36 patients) and group II, suture fixation (32 patients). Various intraoperative variables and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS The patients in the two groups were well matched in terms of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and hernia characteristics. Mean BMI was 29.0 kg/m2. Operative time was found to be significantly higher in group II (77.5 versus 52.6 min, p=0.000). Patients in group I were found to have significantly higher pain scores at 1 h, 6 h, 24 h, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. At follow-up, incidence of seromas was higher in group II but the difference was not significant (7 versus 4, p=0.219). During long-term follow-up, patients in group II were satisfied cosmetically. CONCLUSION Suture fixation is a cost-effective alternative to tacker fixation, for small and medium-sized defects in anatomically accessible areas. However, suture fixation requires significantly longer operation time, but patients have statistically significantly less postoperative pain.

Abstract
There is a high probability of missing out on the preoperative diagnosis of hypothyroidism in elderly females, as most of the symptoms are attributed to old age. We report a patient with undiagnosed hypothyroidism, operated for excisional biopsy of carcinoma of tongue, who postoperatively developed septicemia refractory to maximum ionotropic support and antibiotic coverage and succumbed within 40 hours. Her symptoms of constipation, sedentary life style, and joint pains were attributed to old age by the family and thus were not communicated to us in the preoperative assessment. Her long-standing hypothyroidism probably was associated with adrenocortical suppression exaggerated with intermittent and chronic ingestion of herbal powder, which generally contains steroids. We recommend that a more careful preoperative evaluation and history pertaining to hypothyroidism in obese female patients more than 45 years with joint pains should be sought for. Ingestion of herbal powders should alert us as these contain steroids If there is a suspicion of hypothyroidism, then elective surgery should be deferred to rule out the same due to possibility of progression to myxedema coma under stress of anesthesia and surgery. We also recommend that in these cases preoperative blood cortisol level should be evaluated to rule out adrenocortical suppression and direct its management, if present.

Abstract
Management of a difficult paediatric airway is challenging, and the unavailability of a paediatric fibreoptic bronchoscope, a common limitation in developing countries, adds to these difficulties. Children with bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis have limited mouth opening and therefore direct laryngoscopy and intubation is not usually possible. In the absence of sophisticated fibreoptic equipment, blind nasal intubation remains the only non-surgical option for control of the airway. Blind nasal intubation in paediatric anaesthesia is difficult. We describe a novel method of blind nasal intubation in paediatric patients using a gum elastic bougie. We have used this method successfully in three patients in whom tracheal intubation using a conventional blind nasal approach was unsuccessful. In view of its reliability and the absence of any soft tissue injury, we propose the use of this novel technique as an alternative to conventional blind nasal intubation, when more sophisticated fibreoptic equipment is not available.

Abstract
Between 1991 and 1998, 28 out of 356 neonates with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EATEF) required esophageal substitution. As only 8 returned (28%) for the esophageal replacement after initial esophagostomy and gastrostomy at our center, we were prompted to offer single-stage esophageal replacement when the primary repair had either failed or was not found feasible. Twelve full-term neonates (mean birth weight 2.32 kg) with EATEF who underwent esophageal replacement by gastric pull-up between 1998 and 2000 were reviewed. The indications were: major leak after primary repair (n=9); pure EA (n=2); and EATEF with a very wide gap (n=1). The average ages at presentation and gastric pull-up were 6.0 and 8.5 days, respectively. The patients were evaluated for gastric transit by a colloid radiopharmaceutical, for duodenogastric reflux (DGR) by hepatic immunodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan, and for gastric clearance and transit by contrast studies. Three patients had minimal leaks from the neck site, all of which healed well. Follow-up with nuclear scans and contrast studies to evaluate gastric emptying revealed obstruction in 1 case and DGR in 25% of cases. There were 2 deaths (16%), 1 due to complex congenital cardiac disease and the other due to septicemia. In view of the acceptable morbidity, mortality, and functional outcome following gastric pull-up, we recommend this procedure if it becomes inevitable in the neonatal period.

Abstract
A five-year-old child with severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and malnutrition underwent surgery for chronic osteomyelitis of the head of the left humerus. The child had typical features of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, including a difficult airway. Propofol was used for induction and maintenance. Spontaneous respiration was maintained with a nasal airway. Analgesia was provided with an interscalene brachial plexus block placed using a nerve stimulator. No opioid was given. The child had an uneventful recovery with good postoperative analgesia. The anaesthetic implications of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita are discussed.

Abstract
The sonomatic confirmation of tracheal intubation (SCOTI) is a new device used to confirm the correct placement of tracheal tubes. It utilises a sonic technique for recognition of a resonating frequency for detection of tracheal intubation. We compared its predictive value with that of the clinical auscultatory method and a capnograph to confirm 132 blind nasal intubations using three different tracheal tubes [red rubber (n = 82), polyvinyl chloride (n = 33) and RAE preformed nasal (n = 17)]. SCOTI correctly identified 70.8% of intubations and chest auscultation did so 99.2% of times. All results were confirmed using a capnograph. The SCOTI device gave a false-negative value in 37 patients (28%) and a false-positive result in two patients (1.5%). The response time for confirming intubations was 2.5 (1.5) s for the SCOTI, 4.1 (1.1) s for a capnograph and 40 (9.4) s for the auscultatory method. The erroneous results shown by the SCOTI device were highest when polyvinyl chloride tubes with a Murphy's eye were used for intubation. This study shows that this device is not very useful for ascertaining the correct placement of tracheal tubes after blind nasal intubation.

Abstract
With a view to assess the efficacy of intrathecal pentazocine for post-operative pain relief, 60 patients randomly divided into 6 equal groups were administered graded doses (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg respectively) of pentazocine lactate, intrathecally along with 1 per cent bupivacaine. The duration of analgesia was found to be dose related till 3 mg. Higher doses did not increase the duration of analgesia nor were any untoward effects observed. It is concluded that intrathecal pentazocine is safe and effective for post-operative pain relief and 3 mg is the minimum effective dose without side effect.
