Abstract
Artificial intelligence has the potential to alter the agricultural and food processing industries, with significant ramifications for sustainability and global food security. The integration of artificial intelligence in agriculture has witnessed a significant uptick in recent years. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of these techniques is needed to broaden its application in agri-food supply chain. In this review, we explored cutting-edge artificial intelligence methodologies with a focus on machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning. The application of artificial intelligence in agri-food industry and their quality assurance throughout the production process is thoroughly discussed with an emphasis on the current scientific knowledge and future perspective. Artificial intelligence has played a significant role in transforming agri-food systems by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and productivity. Many food industries are implementing the artificial intelligence in modelling, prediction, control tool, sensory evaluation, quality control, and tackling complicated challenges in food processing. Similarly, artificial intelligence applied in agriculture to improve the entire farming process, such as crop yield optimization, use of herbicides, weeds identification, and harvesting of fruits. In summary, the integration of artificial intelligence in agri-food systems offers the potential to address key challenges in agriculture, enhance sustainability, and contribute to global food security.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The rational use of medicines as per the World Health Organization (WHO) should be practiced globally. However, data regarding the completeness of the prescriptions and their rational use is lacking from developing countries like India. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the prescribing patterns of drugs and completeness of prescriptions as per WHO core drug use and complementary indicators to provide real-life examples for the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) online prescribing skill course for medical graduates. METHODS Prescriptions of the patients, fulfilling inclusion criteria, attending Outpatient Departments of various specialties of tertiary care hospitals, were collected by thirteen ICMR Rational use of medicines centers located in tertiary care hospitals, throughout India. Prescriptions were evaluated for rational use of medicines according to the WHO guidelines and for appropriateness as per standard treatment guidelines using a common protocol approved by local Ethics committees. RESULTS Among 4838 prescriptions, an average of about three drugs (3.34) was prescribed to the patients per prescription. Polypharmacy was noted in 83.05% of prescriptions. Generic drugs were prescribed in 47.58% of the prescriptions. Further, antimicrobials were prescribed in 17.63% of the prescriptions and only 4.98% of prescriptions were with injectables. During the prescription evaluation, 38.65% of the prescriptions were incomplete due to multiple omissions such as dose, duration, and formulation. CONCLUSION Most of the parameters in the present study were out of the range of WHO-recommended prescribing indicators. Therefore, effective intervention program, like training, for the promotion of rational drug use practice was recommended to improve the prescribing pattern of drugs and the quality of prescriptions all over the country.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impulsivity has been shown to be associated with obesity through links to pathological eating behavior such as binge eating. The recent literature suggests that impulsivity is linked to poorer outcomes post-bariatric surgery. Impulsivity can be measured in various ways and comprises of three broad domains: impulsive choice, impulsive action, and impulsive personality traits. The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the current evidence on the impact of impulsivity on post-bariatric surgery weight loss. METHODS A literature review was performed in February 2020. Original studies investigating the relationship between impulsivity and weight loss post-bariatric surgery were evaluated. RESULTS Ten studies with a total of 1246 patients were analyzed. There were four case-control, four prospective observational and two retrospective observational studies. The postoperative follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 12 years. Eight studies measuring trait impulsivity did not show any association with weight loss post-bariatric surgery, although two studies reported an indirect effect of impulsivity on weight loss mediated via pathological eating behavior. Assessment of impulsive action by two studies showed that post-bariatric surgery weight loss is affected by impulsive action. CONCLUSION Impulsivity may adversely affect postoperative outcomes after bariatric surgery. However, this may be specific to state impulsivity or impulsive action rather than trait impulsivity. Patients with a higher state impulsivity may benefit from closer follow-up post-bariatric surgery, as well as cognitive behavioral therapies targeting cognitive control over food. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, systematic review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Yoga is an ancient system of wellness with Asana and Pranayama as its most popular and propagated modules for management of lifestyle disorders. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to characterise the liver abnormalities, biochemical changes, and stress levels after Yoga intervention in prediabetic females. MATERIALS AND METHODS 37 females were randomly divided into Yoga practising and non-practising control groups. The Yoga practising group performed Diabetic Yoga Protocol (DYP) for 3 months. Parameters including size of liver, fatty infiltration, and grade of severity were measured using ultrasonography along with biochemical parameters and stress levels at baseline and after Yoga practice. RESULTS The glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glucose levels were found significantly reduced in prediabetic (p = 0.015) women after practising DYP, although cholesterol levels increased in menopausal women. No escalation of fatty liver was noted among women practising DYP. CONCLUSION DYP reduced the HbA1c and stress levels and therefore, could be a cost-effective tool for preventing prediabetes to diabetes progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a common disease caused by the excessive proliferation of cells, and neurodegenerative diseases are the disorders caused due to the degeneration of neurons. Both can be considered as diseases caused by the dysregulation of cell cycle events. A recent data suggests that there is a strong inverse association between cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. There is indirect evidence to postulate Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) as a potential molecular link in this association. DISCUSSION The BDNF levels are found to be downregulated in many neurodegenerative disorders and are found to be upregulated in various kinds of cancers. The lower level of BDNF in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease has been found to be related to cognitive and other neuropsychological impairments, whereas, its higher levels are associated with the tumour growth and metastasis and poor survival rate in the cancer patients. CONCLUSION In this review, we propose that variance in BDNF levels is critical in determining the course of cellular pathophysiology and the development of cancer or neurodegenerative disorder. We further propose that an alternative therapeutic strategy that can modulate BDNF expression, can rescue or prevent above said pathophysiological course. Larger studies that examine this link through animal studies are imperative to understand the putative biochemical and molecular link to wellness and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Attempts for Guinness world record have continued worldwide but these attempts were rarely aimed to promote public health. Diabetes is one of the rapidly growing lifestyle disorders in India which requires awareness reinforcements among the local population. In recent studies, Yoga has proved to be useful in lifestyle modification and Diabetes management. However, most individuals from rural and urban localities in the country are unaware of this fact. PURPOSE The purpose was to organizing a nationwide attempt under the Niyantrit Madhumeh Bharat (NMB) programme to break the world record to be the largest Diabetes lesson, to spread awareness among general population. METHODS Present article represents the perspective of the Chandigarh chapter of NMB programme and its experience in Guinness world record attempt. Diabetes awareness lesson was organized in the city as per the standards defined by the Guinness Book and outcomes of the entire campaign were assessed at the end of the campaign. RESULT Total 498 individuals participated in the campaign. Among them, 268 participants were questioned at the end of the campaign about the role of Yoga in Diabetes. 247 participants (92%) were agreed that Diabetes can be modified by Yoga and 9 participants (3%) disagreed. The remaining 12 participants (5%) did not give any response. CONCLUSION We noticed that most of the participants became aware of the role of Yoga in Diabetes.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the frequency, causes, and outcomes of admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) among Parkinson's disease (PD) population so that preventive measures can be developed. Methods: We prospectively observed patients with diagnosis of PD admitted to ICU from January 2014 to December 2016. Based on etiology for hospital admission, they were divided into two groups – related to PD (further divided into direct or indirect) or not associated with PD at all. Etiology for hospitalization was determined from history and investigational data. The primary outcome was death or discharge from the hospital. Factors contributing to ICU admission were analyzed by comparing these patients with a cohort of 50 PD patients admitted to the neurology ward during the same study period. All values were expressed as mean (standard deviation) and percentages using SPSS version 16.0. Results: Fifty-three (36%) out of a total of 146 patients required ICU admission. Most common causes leading to admission in decreasing order of frequency were fever (34%), delirium (16%), falls (12%), encephalopathy (8%), gastrointestinal emergencies (6%); while direct disease-related severe dyskinesias were seen only in two patients (4%). 13.7% needed mechanical ventilation and mean duration of ventilation was 5.94 days with mortality rate of 20%. Significant factors predicting ICU admission, and thus, poor outcomes were age >65 years, history of previous admission within the last 12 months, delirium, and hypoalbuminemia. There was no significant association between the incidence of ICU admission and duration of disease or severity of the disease. Conclusions: Poor outcome in PD patients is due to systemic causes, hence multidisciplinary teamwork may improve outcome in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Researchers are challenged with identification of possible feed additives with the ability to increase the efficiency of feed utilization. AIMS The present work aimed at studying growth pattern and carcass traits in broiler fed on dietary enzymes (Enzymex) and probiotic (Yeamark) over a period of six weeks. METHODS A completely randomized design, including 8 treatments, 3 replications and 15 birds in each experimental unit was applied. Results: The results showed that feed intake decreased significantly (P<0.05) which might be due to the birds fulfilling their nutrient requirements by taking less amount of feed with improved digestibility of energy sources and amino acids. The results of present study also demonstrate the beneficial effects on performance and dressed yield in the treated groups in broiler. CONCLUSION Enzymes and probiotic are, therefore, suggested to be used as feed additives in broiler rations for higher profitability.

Abstract
Two visual factors in the avoidance of front-to-rear-end collisions are (a) judging time to collision so as to control braking optimally on a moment-to-moment basis, and/or (b) judging one's heading relative to the lead car so as to steer appropriately. It is known that time to contact equals θ/(dθ/dt) and it is also known that the eye is sensitive to θ and, separately, (dθ/dt) (θ is the angular size and (dθ/dt) is the rate of increase of angular size). But whether the eye is sensitive to the ratio (θ/(dθ/dt) and, if so, whether drivers use this information are further questions. We report here that the human visual system does contain neurons sensitive to the ratio θ/(dθ/dt) rather independently of θ and (dθ/dt). It is important that the driver looks directly at the lead vehicle: sensitivity to (dθ/dt) falls off steeply in peripheral view. But, over a wide range, sensitivity to (dθ/dt) is independent of contrast. In addition to the classical disparity-driven system for binocular depth perception, there is a separate binocular system for motion in depth. Precise judgements (0.2 deg) of heading are supported by this stereomotion system, but on the other hand about 20% of the population have stereomotion “blind spots” (i.e. field defects). Monocularly-available informations can also support precise judgements of heading, and field defects seem to be rare. Field studies on flight simulators and telemetry-tracked jet aircraft showed that laboratory measures of sensitivity to (dθ/dt) and to the rate of expansion of the optical flow field predicted intersubject differences in performance on flying tasks that were closely related to the rear-end collision situation.

Abstract
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies apply broad DNA scans on hundreds-of-thousands of common sequence variants in thousands of people for the purpose of mapping trait- or disease-related loci. We provide examples of ligand- and target-based studies from the field of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to demonstrate the value of the GWA approach in confirmatory and exploratory pharmacogenomics research. Complementing this genomic analysis, we used a simple biochemical retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) oxidative, apoptotic high throughput screening (HTS) assay to identify compounds. This ligand-to-targetto DNA sequence variant-to disease approach provided guidance on rational design of preclinical studies and identified associations between: 1) valproic acid and advanced AMD-associated genes with the capacity to alter GABA-succinate signaling (ALDH5A1, CACNA1C, SUCLA2, and GABBR2) and chromatin remodeling (HDAC9); and 2) Ropinirole and a geographic atrophy-associated gene (DRD3) with the capacity to alter systems involved in cAMP-PKA signaling. In both applications of our method, the breadth of GWA findings allowed efficient expansion of results to identify enriched pathways and additional ligands capable of targeting pathway constituents. A disease associated SNP-to gene-to target-to ligand approach provided guidance to inform preventive and therapeutic preclinical studies investigating roles of targets in: 1) PPAR-RXR transcription complex constituents for neovascular AMD; and 2) the stress activated MAPK signaling cascade constituents for advanced AMD. Our conclusion is that publically available data from GWA studies can be used successfully with open-access genomics, proteomics, structural chemistry, and pharmacogenomics databases in an efficient, rational approach to streamline the processes of planning and implementation for confirmatory and exploratory pre-clinical studies of preventive or therapeutic pharmacologic treatments for complex diseases.

Abstract
Spinal tuberculosis leading to paraplegia is uncommon in pregnancy and is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report a case of tubercular paraplegia presenting at 35 weeks of gestation. She was managed with Anti-tubercular drugs and did not require surgical intervention. Her neurological status improved and she was allowed to go in labour. She delivered a healthy term infant by cesarean. At three months follow-up, both mother and child are doing well.

Abstract
Primary graft failure is the major cause of mortality in infant HTx. The aim of this study was to characterize the indication and outcomes of infants requiring ECMO support due to primary graft failure after HTx. We performed a retrospective review of all infants (<1 yr) who underwent Htx from three institutions. From 1999 to 2008, 92 infants (<1 yr) received Htx. Sixteen children (17%) required ECMO after Htx due to low cardiac output syndrome. Eleven (69%) infants were successfully weaned off ECMO, and 9 (56%) infants were discharged with a mean follow-up of 2.3 ± 2.5 yr. Mean duration of ECMO in survivors was 5.4 days (2-7 days) compared with eight days (2-10 days) in non-survivors (p = NS). The five-yr survival rate for all patients was 75%; however, the five-yr survival rate was 40% in the ECMO cohort vs. 80% in the non-ECMO cohort (p = 0.0001). Graft function within one month post-Htx was similar and normal between ECMO and non-ECMO groups (shortening fraction = 42 ± 3 vs. 40 ± 2, p = NS). For infants, ECMO support for primary graft failure had a lower short-term and long-term survival rate vs. non-ECMO patients. Duration of ECMO did not adversely impact graft function and is an acceptable therapy for infants after HTx for low cardiac output syndrome.

Abstract
A 10-year-old girl, who was referred with refractory epilepsy, had 1.5 years of episodic abnormal behavior. On examination, she also had hypertension and peripheral neuropathy. Hypoglycemia with correspondingly high insulin levels was documented during a confusional episode. MRI of the abdomen revealed an islet cell tumor in the body of the pancreas. One year after tumor excision, both the neuropathy and hypertension showed remarkable improvement. A final diagnosis of insulinoma with hypoglycemic axonal neuropathy and hypertension (reversed with tumor excision) was made. Insulinoma is the commonest cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in adults, but is rare in childhood. To our knowledge, distal symmetrical motor-sensory axonal neuropathy has been described in only 40 patients, and hypertension has not been reported with insulinoma.

Abstract
500 Background: Sentinel lymph node mapping in colon cancer leads to the detection of micrometastasis in 15- 20% of patients leading to upstaging to stage III disease. Methods: Between 1996-2010, patients diagnosed with colon cancer were enrolled in our study and underwent SLNM at the tim of surgery plus standard oncological resection including regional LN resection. After initial years of experience, exact locations of the SLNs were mapped in relation to the primary tumor. Aberrant drainage was observed when a SLN was detected outside the standard lymph node basin. The primary objective of this analysis is to identify the frequency of detection of such aberrant drainage and the rates of positive aberrant SLNs leading to change of operation and staging. Results: Between 1996-2010, 304 patients were included in the study. The overall success rates of SLNM was 99.7%. The average number of resected LNs was 15.4. SLNM had a sensitivity, negative predictive value, accuracy and false negative rates of 85.3%, 91.7%, 94.4% and 14.6% respectively. Micrometastatic disease was detected in 15.1% of patients with node positive disease. Since 2001, 150 patients were evaluated for the presence of aberrant drainage and potential change of planned surgery. In 27 patients (18%), extended surgery was performed due to aberrant drainage. The nodal positivity in these 27 patients was 59.5%, compared to 46% in the whole group. The average number of lymph nodes in this group was 16 and the average number of SLNs was 4.3. The most common location of the primary tumor was the right colon in 55.6% of patients with aberrant drainage. In 13 patients (8.7% of case), change of operation led to the detection of positive SLNs leading to upstaging to stage IIIA/B diseases. All of these 13 patients had T3 or T4 disease. All node positive patients underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: SLNM in colon cancer is highly successful, sensitive and overall accurate staging procedure. It leads to detection of SLNs outside the regional lymphatic basin and change of surgery in 18% of patients. This results in higher nodal positivity and significant change of planned surgery in 8.7% of cases. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Anthropometric dimensions are the basis of evaluation of health of newborns. Results of cephalometric studies can be used in forensic medicine, plastic surgery, pediatrics, oral surgery, dentistry, otolaryngology and syndromology. Three hundred sixty appropriate for gestational age newborns belonging to the region in and around Patiala were the subjects of the present study. The gestational age varied from 29 to 41 weeks. Face length and face width were measured and facial index was calculated. The overall mean face length and mean face width were 5.17 cm and 6.42 cm respectively. Facial index ranged from 79.3 - 81.4% with mean facial index being 80.5%. Facial index increased with increasing gestational age. Gestational age has negative correlation with face length and face width but positively significant correlation was observed between gestational age and facial index. Facial length and facial width were jointly determined. All inter-relationships improved remarkably when determined for gestational age groups. These findings have significant implication as gestational age linearly influenced facial index. In addition they provide database from 29th to 41st week of gestation and can be used as baseline for further anthropometric studies to specify the role of heredity and environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To examine the efficacy and safety of valproic acid (VPA) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). METHODS Thirteen eyes were examined before and after brief treatment (average 4 months) with VPA. Visual fields (VF) for each eye were defined using digitised Goldmann Kinetic Perimetry tracings. VF areas were log-transformed and VF loss/gain relative to baseline was calculated. Visual acuity was measured using a Snellen chart at a distance of 20 feet (6.1 m). Values were converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) score. RESULTS Nine eyes had improved VF with treatment, two eyes had decreased VF and two eyes experienced no change, with an overall average increase of 11%. Assuming typical loss in VF area without treatment, this increase in VF was statistically significant (p<0.02). An average decrease (0.172) in the logMAR scores was seen in these 13 eyes, which translates to a positive change in Snellen score of approximately 20/47 to 20/32, which was significant (p<0.02) assuming no loss in acuity without treatment. Side effects were mild and well tolerated. CONCLUSION Treatment with VPA is suggestive of a therapeutic benefit to patients with RP. A placebo-controlled clinical trial will be necessary to assess the efficacy and safety of VPA for RP rigorously.

Abstract
4049 Background: Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping (SLNM) in colon Cancerc (Cca) has been shown to be successful, sensitive and accurate. We aimed to evaluate the recurrence rates in patients(pts) with Cca after SLNM and correlate it to the number of positive(+ve) LNs. Methods: Between 1996 and 2006, pts diagnosed with Cca were enrolled in a prospective trial and underwent SLNM and oncologic resection including regional LNs. The primary outcome was development of recurrence with minimum follow-up (f/u) of 24 months. For recurrence analysis, exclusion criteria included: stage IV disease, benign pathology, lost to follow-up, refusal of indicated chemotherapy, non cancer related death or second cancer. A retrospective matched control (diagnosed with Cca undergoing standard colon resection without SLNM, gp B) from our own institution were analyzed and compared to the SLNM group for the same period. Results: A total of 486 pts with Cca were included. Of these, 272 consecutive pts underwent SLNM between 1996–2006. SLNM was successful in 99.8% of pts, with a sensitivity, negative (-ve) predictive value, and overall accuracy of 85.3%, 91.7% and 94.4% respectively. The nodal positivity was 46.0%; of these, 15.1% had micrometastasis. The average number of LNs resected / pt was 15.0 and the average number of SLNs / pt was 2.4. For recurrence analysis, 153/272 pts with minimum f/u 2 years were included. Of these, 49 had stage I, 46 had stage II and 58 had stage III disease. The recurrence rates were 4.1%, 8.6% and 15.5% in stage I, II, and III disease respectively. The recurrence rates were significantly lower when our 153 pts were compared to 214 matched controls ( table 1 ). The recurrence rates increased from 6.3% in pts with no +ve LNs to 11.5% when one LN was +ve, 16.7% when 2 LNs were +ve and 20% when 3 or more LNs were +ve. Conclusions: SLNM in Cca is associated with decreased rates of recurrence as compared to conventional therapy. The number of positive LNs is an independent risk factor for recurrence.
