Hodgkin's disease or Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare malignant hemopathy characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. It is a lymphoid disease that the cause remains unknown. Subdiaphragmatic localized forms are rare and represent 6 to 13% [4-6]. The revelation of these forms by acute intestinal intussusception is exceptional, and attested by very few data published in the literature. We report the case of a 70-year-old patient with a rare case of subdiaphragmatic Hodgkin's lymphoma revealed by acute intestinal intussusception.

Cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (CDP), also known as the Whipple procedure, is a major surgery performed on the pancreatobiliary junction. It is mainly indicated for cancers of this region, as well as for certain benign tumors or chronic pancreatitis. Despite technical advances, this procedure remains associated with high morbidity, with postoperative complications such as pancreatic or digestive fistulas, gastroparesis, hemorrhage, infections, and, in the long term, pancreatic insufficiency. A retrospective study conducted in the Department of Visceral Surgery at the Avicenne Military Hospital of Marrakech between 2017 and 2021 analyzed 35 cases of CDP. The average age of patients was 62 years, with a male predominance. The main indications were: Vaterian ampulloma (45.7%), Adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head (34.3%), Adenocarcinomas of the distal bile ducts (11.4%), And a few rare cases of duodenal or cystic tumors. Most tumors were well-differentiated (74%). The Child reconstruction technique was used in 65.7% of cases, while pancreaticogastric anastomosis was performed in 34.3%. The postoperative mortality rate was 11.4%, mainly due to hemorrhagic shock. Early complications occurred in 42.8% of patients, predominantly gastroparesis (17.1%) and hemorrhage (8.6%). The results are consistent with those reported in the literature. The study emphasizes the importance of thorough preoperative assessment, close postoperative monitoring, and an experienced surgical team to reduce complications and improve prognosis.

Aim: The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the relationship between neck pain and fatigue levels among individuals engaged in desk-based occupations. Methodology: Neck pain–related disability was assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Fatigue levels were measured using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Visual Analogue Fatigue Scale (VAFS). A total of 20 office-based workers (13 females, 7 males) participated in the study. The mean age of the sample was 31.30 years. The mean height was 1.64 ± 7.6 m, and the mean weight was 63.4 ± 9.8 kg. Participants completed the NDI, FSS, and VAFS questionnaires through a survey method after providing written informed consent. Results: A statistically significant negative correlation was found between NDI and VAFS scores (Pearson’s r = –0.45421, p = 0.0037). Higher neck disability was associated with greater fatigue levels. Mean scores for individual FSS items ranged from 2.76 to 4.37. Conclusion: The study demonstrated that greater neck disability is associated with increased fatigue among desk-job workers. These findings highlight the importance of posture correction, ergonomic modifications, and early screening to reduce neck-related disability and fatigue in individuals engaged in prolonged sitting occupations.

The use of welded medium-carbon steels is increasing within the oil and gas industry, which requires these materials to resist corrosive environments, extreme temperatures and cyclic loading. This investigation analyzes the effects of Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) upon the mechanical performance of manually arc-welded AISI 1035 (UNS G10350) steel. Rectangular test pieces were machined from carbon-steel piping that had been manually arc-welded using electrode type E6013. These samples were preheated to a temperature of 100 °C, then subsequently heat treated at 300 °C, 450 °C and 650 °C for 1 hour prior to cooling in still air. Mechanical performance of each specimen was assessed via tensile testing utilizing a Testometric machine and hardness assessment using Rockwell testing in accordance with ASTM E18. The results indicated an increase in tensile strength with increasing temperature during heat treatment and maximum tensile strength at 650°C; this was due to the formation of precipitated carbides and stabilization of the weld structure through heat treatment. The stress-strain plots illustrated an increase in flow stress that corresponded to a reduction in the elongation to failure for PWHT specimens; a trend indicative of a strength-ductility trade off. Decreases in Rockwell hardness relative to the as-welded condition were exhibited across all heat-treated conditions; this reflected both relief of residual stresses present within the heat affected zone and tempering of martensitic microstructures within this zone. Overall, the results indicate that heat-treatment parameters may be selected to decrease hardness (and therefore associated SSC/HIC risks), while simultaneously increasing strength for load bearing applications within oil and gas fabrication and/or repair operations involving AISI 1035 components. The relationship between PWHT parameters and material properties will aid in establishing practical guidelines for specification of PWHT within oil and gas fabrication and/or repair operations involving AISI 1035 components.

This paper examines how designers engage with sustainable materials through a practice-based methodology that integrates reflection, experimentation, and material understanding. It repositions sustainability not as a static design objective, but as a dynamic, iterative process that emerges through the act of making. By engaging with renewable, bio-based, and waste-derived materials, the research demonstrates how creative practice fosters ecological literacy and responsible production. Drawing upon design research and case-based evidence, this study argues that sustainability evolves from experiential learning, material dialogue, and systemic thinking rather than prescriptive frameworks. The outcomes emphasize the designer’s evolving role as a mediator between creativity, ecology, and technology.

Background: Sportspersons often suffer from traumatic dental injuries, which can have significant impact on their appearance and physical health. Thus, immediate evaluation is critical for early management as there are no strict guidelines regarding the usage of preventive strategies. Hence present study conducted to assess the prevalence of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) among sportspersons. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among professional sportspersons in various sports academies in Haryana. Total sample size was 363. Data collection was carried out with the help of self-structured proforma containing sociodemographic details, knowledge, attitude, and practices and traumatic dental injuries were recorded using Ellis and Davis (1970) classification. Chi-square test was used to find out the difference between variables. Binary logistic regression applied to test the association between traumatic dental injuries and various sociodemographic and dental factors. Results: The prevalence of traumatic dental injuries was found to be 10.5%. Central and lateral incisors were the most commonly affected teeth with Ellis Class I and II injuries. Female Sportspersons and those involved in contact sports exhibited a higher susceptibility to traumatic dental injuries. The study also revealed a low level of knowledge and attitude among sportspersons towards treatment and management. Conclusion: The burden of traumatic dental injuries was higher among female sportspersons and those playing contact sports. There is requirement to create awareness among sportspersons to mitigate the effect and to reduce the incidence of traumatic dental injuries.
One of the core texts of Mahāyāna Buddhism, the Larger Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra, presents a deep existential and moral worldview based on compassion (karuṇā). The sutra offers a dynamic ethical framework in which compassion serves as both the ontological foundation of existence and the route to emancipation, far from being purely devotional. Moral behavior is changed into a soteriological process of self-transcendence through the vows of Amitābha Buddha, where the limited human situation opens up to boundless life (amitāyus). This study investigates the sutra's ethical philosophy using the dialectical interplay between self-power (jiriki) and other-power (tariki), revealing how compassion bridges the conflict between individual agency and universal salvation. The Larger Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra combines Buddhist moral theory with existential contemplation to present a vision of human fulfillment based on relationship and altruism. The thesis contends that the sutra's ethical vision goes beyond ceremonial piety to provide a universal philosophy of compassionate being applicable to both Buddhist and modern moral

Page no 107-112 |
https://doi.org/10.36348/sjpm.2025.v10i08.004
Background: Thyroid carcinoma initially presents with clinical symptoms due to metastatic lesions in less than 5% of cases. Spinal cord compression from an epidural metastatic lesion as a first symptom is extremely rare. One would expect such a presentation to occur much later in the course of the disease. Case presentation: We report an unusual case of a 57-year-old-woman with the complaint of back pain for one year. A process was detected at the corpus of L5-S1 to S3 vertebra, by the sacrococcygeal MRI. Conclusion: Spinal metastasis as initial finding is very rare in the patients with FTC. However, prognosis is quite well with total tumor resection and adjuvant treatment. This cancer type must be kept in mind for differential diagnosis and must be screened in the patients with spinal tumors.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and aggressive subtype of renal cancer, accounting for approximately 75% of all kidney malignancies in adults. Despite advances in diagnosis and therapy, the molecular mechanisms underlying ccRCC progression remain incompletely understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, play critical roles in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. This study aimed to identify key dysregulated miRNAs and their target genes involved in ccRCC pathogenesis using an integrative in-silico bioinformatics approach. Three Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE116251, GSE95384, and GSE6357) were analyzed through the GEO2R tool to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEMs) using |logFC| > 1 and adjusted p-value < 0.05 as thresholds. Overlapping miRNAs were determined using the Venny tool, and their corresponding target mRNAs were predicted through TargetScan. Functional annotation and pathway enrichment of DEGs were performed using the DAVID database, while protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed through STRING. The miRIAD and OncomiR databases were employed to elucidate miRNA–gene interactions, and the OncoLnc database was utilized for survival analysis. Our analysis revealed several dysregulated miRNAs, including miR-155-5p, miR-210-3p, and miR-21-5p, along with key tumor-related genes such as VHL, PBRM1, SETD2, TP53, and PTEN, which significantly influence ccRCC prognosis. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that these genes are involved in critical oncogenic pathways, including the cell cycle, p53 signaling, and PI3K–Akt pathways. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive bioinformatic framework that highlights novel miRNA–gene interactions potentially involved in ccRCC progression. The identified molecules may serve as valuable biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy in renal cancer, supporting further experimental validation and clinical investigation.

Background: People living with HIV (PLHIV) experience balance impairments due to neuropathy, muscle weakness, and central nervous system alterations, which increase fall risk. While most studies focus on level walking, there is limited information about motor control adaptation during gait on inclined surfaces. Objective: To determine whether postural sway while walking differs between PLHIV at risk of falls and those not at risk during flat and inclined surfaces. Methods: Thirty-two PLHIV (21 fall risk; 11 non–fall risk) completed walking trials at 0% and 8% incline. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale classifies fall risk. Postural sway parameters (RMS and centroidal frequency) were captured with accelerometers. A 2 × 2 mixed MANOVA compared groups and conditions. Results: A significant main effect of incline was observed (F(6,25) = 2.980, p = .025, partial η² = .417). Sway RMS and sagittal RMS were greater on level ground than on the incline (p < .001). No significant group differences or interactions were found. Conclusion: Inclined walking reduced sway amplitude while slightly increasing sway frequency, suggesting adaptive neuromuscular control. Incline walking may create a rigid or frizzing postural strategy in PLHIV regardless of fall-risk status. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating environmental challenges into fall-risk assessments and interventions.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) remains a major global health concern. This study explores awareness, public attitudes, and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS within a general community. A survey of 100 participants aged 18–50 years was conducted using structured questions to assess knowledge of HIV transmission routes, perceptions of openness, and social stigma. Results indicate that awareness of sexual transmission is high, but misconceptions about other transmission modes persist. Nearly half of respondents believe individuals with HIV should not disclose their status, reflecting ongoing stigma. The findings emphasize the need for continuous educational efforts to promote accurate knowledge and foster a supportive environment for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV).
