Background: Abruptio placenta is a major cause of massive obstetric hemorrhage and significant cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide and in developing countries including India. This study aimed to determine risk factors for abruptio placenta and subsequent feto-maternal outcome at a tertiary care center (hospital). Methods: A prospective study was conducted at department of obstetrics and gynaecology, RIMS Adilabad. All patients diagnosed with abruptio placenta clinically and/or sonographically were included in the study. The maternal complications and fetal outcome were analyzed in detail. Results: In this study, 82 women were diagnosed with abruption placenta. Incidence of abruptio placenta is 1.4% at our institute. Most patients in our study are multiparous (64.6%), un booked (31.7%) and are in the age group of 20-30 years (58.5%). In our study abruption placenta was mostly associated with PIH/Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (56.09%). H/o abruption placenta in previous pregnancy (12.19%), Idiopathic (23.17%), Trauma (2.4%), PROM (2.4%) are other risk factors associated with abruptio placenta. Anemia is associated with 58% of cases. Majority (54.8%) of cases delivered vaginally, 45.12% patients were delivered by LSCS. 63.14% babies were live born, 23.17% were IUD, 13.4% were stillborn. Post partum hemorrhage (19.5%), Acute renal failure (17.7%), disseminated intravascular coagulation (15.8%) are important maternal complications. Maternal mortality rate is 2.4%. Perinatal mortality is 25.6%. Conclusion: Abruption placenta is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcome. There is need to spread awareness regarding taking adequate antenatal care so that associated risk factors could be diagnosed early and treated adequately. Prompt resuscitative measures and expedition of delivery process after abruption favours good fetomaternal outcome.

Results: Total 5820 women were delivered in our institute during the study period of which 572 women with Pre-eclampsia and 48 patients diagnosed with HELLP syndrome. Incidence of HELLP syndrome is 0.8 % of total deliveries and 8.3%of Pre-eclampsia patients. Most of them were primigravida 52%. Majority were in 32-36 weeks of gestational age Out of total 48 patients of HELLP syndrome,40 patients delivered vaginally and 8 patients delivered by LSCS Complications includes Ascites (27%), Postpartum hemorrhage (25%), Placental abruption (23%), Acute renal failure (16%), Pulmonary edema (10.4%), Disseminated intravascular coagulation (6.2%), Multi Organ Dysfunction (4.1%). Patients who received Blood products were 54.1% Preterm deliveries (58.3%), NICU admission (27%). Intra uterine Fetal demise (14.5%) There was no maternal mortality. Perinatal mortality rate was 43.7%. Conclusions: Vaginal delivery is allowed as better stabilization and better maternal outcome. There is increased fetal morbidity and mortality as patients came in advanced disease. Early detection and management of its complications with timely intervention to arrest further progress to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the emergence process or a new paradigm in the theory and practice of knowledge management. It is the paradigm of artificial knowledge. This new paradigm changes the semantic spectrum of the concept of knowledge as it has been used so far in knowledge management systems. Artificial knowledge is completely differentiated from human knowledge and can no longer be considered a justified true belief. Artificial knowledge is a product of artificial intelligence technology. The paper performs a semantic analysis of the new concept and its features by comparison with human knowledge. Also, the paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the most significant publications discussing artificial knowledge and artificial intelligence. The bibliometric analysis is done using VOS viewer, a specialized software program for such research. The present paper shows that researchers in knowledge management face the emergence of a new paradigm.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) impacts the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of life of the affected persons, often times exposing them to disease-associated stigmatization from family members and/or the community and this in turn affects their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). There is paucity of data from southern Nigeria as regards stigmatization among SCD patients, hence this study was aimed at determining the level of stigmatization amongst them. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study involving two hundred and twenty-four SCD patients recruited from three well recognized health facilities that offer comprehensive care for individuals with SCD in Benin City, Nigeria. The measure of sickle cell stigma and the sickle cell disease health-related stigma scale psychometric tools were used for this study. Results: One hundred and sixty- four (73.2%) participants were not married despite attaining marriageable age. One hundred and seventy-one (76.1%) were dependents, living with their friends and family members. Sixty-eight (47.7%) had a severe disease course and one hundred and eighty-five (82.6%) had perceived/ experienced stigmatization. Conclusion: The study found a high prevalence of stigmatization among SCD patients.

This work presents the successful deposition of H. Sabdariffa(Zobo) dye-doped ZnS thin films with different volumes of Zn2+ solutions on cleaned glass substrate slides using inexpensive chemical spray-pyrolysis technique with the substrates kept at a constant temperature of 200oC. The final spray solution for the growth of the films contained aqueous solutions of ZnSO4.7H2O, SC(NH2)2, and H.Sabdariffa dye extracts. ZnSO4.7H2O and SC(NH2)2 served as precursors for Zn2+ and S2- respectively while H.Sabdariffa was used as dye. The sprayed film properties were characterized for optical properties using a HINOTEK 756S UV-VIS spectrophotometer. From the absorbance’s spectral analysis, other optical parameters such as transmittance, reflectance, absorption coefficient, band gap energy and optical density were calculated. The films indicated high absorbance in the UV region and high transmittance in the VIS – NIR regions, whereas reflectance is generally low. The films indicated direct band gap energy range of 2.10eV to 2.62eV. The optical density indicated range of 0.5 to 6.16. Based on relatively low reflection, strong absorption in UV region, high transmission and wide band gap indicated by the films. Therefore, it can be concluded that the films are suitable for the fabrication of solar cells. Also, the films are good for anti-dazzling coatings and thermal control coatings in automotive and architectural industries respectively.

Digestive haemorrhage (HD) is a frequent reason for consultation at the Emergency Department. Approximately 80% of GI haemorrhages are upper GI, i.e. related to a lesion located above the angle of Treitz. The main causes are ulcer disease, portal hypertension, gastritis and ulcerated lesions of the stomach, and reflux oesophagitis. In approximately 10% of cases, a rarer cause (Mallory-Weiss, acquired vascular malformations, Dieulafoy, primary PAEF or secondary aortodigestive fistulas, biliary or pancreatic tract anomalies, tumours,...) is responsible. We report the case of a patient with high HD in whom aortoduodenal fistula was the cause diagnosed on abdominal CT.

A coral-pink gingiva reflects the normal health of blood vessels and the proper width of keratinized tissues, both of which are essential for dental and facial aesthetics. Gingival pigmentation is caused by melanin granules and manifesting as uneven brown, light brown, or deep purplish discoloration and may necessitate cosmetic therapy. Among the various treatment modalities, diode laser and bur ablation are commonly used for gingival depigmentation. Moreover, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which delivers a supra-physiological dose of growth factors, has emerged as a promising adjunct to accelerate wound healing in periodontal aesthetic procedures. This article presents two case reports of two female patients with gingival pigmentation, who were treated at King Abdullah Medical City Specialist Hospital using a split-mouth approach. In one patient, diode laser ablation was performed on the lower anterior gingiva and bur ablation on the upper anterior region; in the other, laser and bur ablation were applied in different quadrants. Immediately after ablation, injectable PRP was administered into the depigmented areas. Healing was evaluated using the Healing Index on days one, three, seven, 14, and 30, and pigmentation was assessed preoperatively and on day 30 with the Dummett-Gupta Oral Pigmentation Index. The results of the two case reports suggest that adjunctive PRP may enhance wound healing following gingival depigmentation, necessitating further clinical trials with standardized protocols and larger sample sizes.
Crude oil spillage is a major problem in Nigeria as it basically affects soils, plants grown on the soil, and the environment at large. The need to remediate crude-oil-contaminated soil to its original state is of utmost importance. The potential of oil palm frond (leaf) to remediate crude-oil-contaminated soil was investigated in this study. The soil samples were analyzed before and after contamination, during bioremediation process and after the treatment process by determining the pH, moisture content and total organic carbon (TOC) parameters of the soil sample each week for a period of four (4) weeks. The results obtained showed that the pH of the soil sample before and after contamination were pH 8.0 and pH 6.0 respectively, while during the bioremediation process with the oil palm frond (leaf) sample applied on the contaminated soil samples and at the end of the treatment process, the pH of the samples was pH 6.2, pH 6.3, pH 8.0, pH 7.0 respectively. The moisture content result obtained showed that the soil sample before and after contamination were 16.2% and 11.2% respectively, during the bioremediation process and at the end of the treatment process the moisture content were 7.5%, 1.4%, 7.4%, and 9.4% respectively. While the TOC result obtained for the soil sample before and after contamination were 2.55% and 1.22% respectively while during the bioremediation process the results were 1.22%, 1.22%, 1.29%, 1.36% respectively. This demonstrated the ability of oil palm frond (leaf) to reduce contaminants in the soil and consequently remediate the crude oil contaminated soil to an extent.

Background: Breast cancer is a significant global health concern, with its incidence steadily rising in both developed and developing nations. It is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, accounting for 16% of cancer fatalities in adult females. This study aimed to assess the level of breast cancer knowledge among nurses working at a tertiary-level hospital in Barishal. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 266 nurses at Sher-E-Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barishal. A convenient sampling technique was applied, and data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire developed through an extensive literature review. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-23, employing both descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Nearly 97% of nurses recognized breast cancer as a life-threatening disease, while more than half (61%) disagreed with the notion that breast cancer is preventable. The overall mean knowledge score on breast cancer was 3.75 (SD = 0.40), indicating an average to moderate level of knowledge. Marital status (t = -2.84, p<0.05) was found to have a statistically significant association with breast cancer knowledge, with married nurses demonstrating higher awareness than their single counterparts. Additionally, significant differences in knowledge levels were observed between Muslim and non-Muslim nurses, with non-Muslim nurses exhibiting greater awareness of breast cancer. Conclusion: The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the level of breast cancer knowledge among nurses at a tertiary-level hospital in Barishal. The results can serve as a guide for improving nurses' understanding of breast cancer and developing strategies to reduce associated risks. Furthermore, these findings emphasize the need for health education programs aimed at raising awareness and disseminating crucial information on breast cancer prevention and early detection.

Objectives: To the current evidence on incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes regarding acute kidney injury (AKI) among trauma patients being admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: A total of 432 pertinent publications were found after a comprehensive search across four databases. 38 full-text publications were examined after duplicates were eliminated using Rayyan QCRI and relevance was checked; seven studies finally satisfied the requirements for inclusion. Results: We included seven studies with a total of 31,222 participants and the majority 26,267 (84.1%) were males. AKI is a frequent complication in trauma patients, and its incidence depends on the kind of trauma and patient-related factors. Incidence is higher in abdominal and polytrauma patients, particularly in those who are obese or with subcutaneous adipose tissue. AKI in polytrauma is associated with longer ventilation, longer lengths of stay in the ICU, and higher mortality. Although less frequent compared to AKI in penetrating trauma, AKI is associated with longer hospitalization and higher fatality in young patients. Severe trauma has the highest incidence of AKI largely due to coagulopathy, hemodynamic instability, rhabdomyolysis, sepsis, and nephrotoxic drugs. Conclusion: AKI poses a significant challenge in ICU trauma management, leading to longer hospital stays, higher mortality, and complex clinical cases. Key risk factors such as trauma severity, obesity, and hemodynamic instability necessitate early diagnosis and targeted intervention. Effective AKI management involves optimizing fluid balance and minimizing nephrotoxic exposure. Future research should focus on developing standardized prevention protocols and assessing long-term renal outcomes in trauma patients.
