Abstract

Investment in construction project is able to give higher benefit beside of its high uncertainty. The uncertainty depends on many factors. The influence of the identified Factors then has to be evaluated and calculated towards the project feasibility. Before investment, the feasibility of the project has to be done that gives figures of cash flow during the project duration. This can be one of the considerations for making a decision whether the particular project is feasible or not. For a construction project, it is very important to take into consideration the various risks involved in the project at various stages while assessing the technical and financial feasibility of the project.

Abstract

Objective: To predict intrauterine growth restriction by placental thickness ultrasonographically.

Main Outcome Measures: Correlation of ultrasonographic placental thickness and birth weight of the baby.

Method: A total of 100 patients were observed for correlation of the placental thickness with ultrasonographic gestational age and their outcomes by dividing them into Group-A {fetal weight < 2,500 g (n = 32)} and Group-B {fetal weight >2,500 g (n = 68)}. The mean placental thickness was calculated at the umbilical cord insertion in both groups along with ultrasonographic fetal age and estimated fetal weight.

Results: A positive correlation was observed between placental thickness and ultrasonographic gestational age in both groups (p-value <0.001), with correlation coefficient (‘‘r’’) values of 0.848 in Group-A and 0.910 in Group-B. Mean placental thickness is found to be lower in Group-A (<2.5 kg) between 32 to 36 weeks as compared to Group-B (>2.5 kg) (p-value < 0.05).

Conclusion: Measurement of placental thickness at the level of umbilical cord insertion may become a valuable tool to predict low birth weight babies with confirmed gestational age.

Abstract

Introduction: Pan Retinal Photocoagulation (PRP) is considered as gold standard treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The study was designed to objectively evaluate PRP in this era of pharmacotherapy by analysing its effect on Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT).

Aims: To evaluate effect PRP on RNFLT by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography and to compare RNFL loss with patients of nonproliferative diabetic retinoapathy (NPDR) and to correlate RNFL loss with number of PRP laser spots.

Materials and methods: Average RNFLT was measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in 26 patients (52 eyes) with bilateral PDR or very severe NPDR before and after 1 year of PRP (group A) and in 26 patients (52 eyes) with bilateral mild, moderate or severe NPDR initially and after 1 year (group B). Pre and Post PRP RNFLT of patients in group A were compared using paired t test. RNFL thinning was calculated by subtracting average

RNFLT at second visit 1 year apart from first visit in both groups. RNFL thinning in group A was compared with group B by unpaired t test. RNFL thinning in group A was correlated with number of PRP spots and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was calculated.

Results: There was significant difference between pre and post PRP RNFLT after 1 year (p value < 0.0001). RNFL thinning was significantly more in group A as compared to group B (p value < 0.0001). RNFL thinning in group A strongly correlated with number of PRP spots and the value of Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was 0.87 (p value < 0.0001).

Conclusions: RNFL thinning occurs after PRP which can be detected as early as 1 year with SDOCT and RNFL thinning correlate with number of PRP spots.

Abstract

A 50 yr old female patient presented in nephrology department with high grade fever, hypertension, abdominal pain, hematuria, loss of appetite, weakness, palpitation, for 20 days. Then during the assessment, she was found to have a high level of BUN and creatinine along with raised serum calcium. Subsequently raised TLC with 50 percent plasmacytoid cells are seen in peripheral blood smear. Serum protein electrophoresis revealed two paraprotein bands in the gamma region. Our reported case in this paper is a primary plasma cell leukemia with unusual renal manifestation.

Abstract

Candida is a ubiquitous fungus and can lead to various forms of infections like superficial, subcutaneous and systemic-to- invasive infections. Lower gastrointestinal tract infections caused by Candida species are rarely reported and Candida albicans is the most common species that has been identified. Here, we report a rare case of acute intestinal obstruction in a 58-year-old male patient where bile secretions yielded growth of Candida tropicalis.

Abstract

Background: Newborn is considered as a infant up to 28 days of life. Care practices immediately following delivery contributes to newborn’s risk of morbidity and mortality.

Objective: The main aim of the study was to assess the practices regarding newborn care adopted by mothers in selected rural areas and to find out the association of level of practices regarding newborn care with selected demographic variables

Result: Most of the mothers (56.7%) in rural areas were in age group of 24-29 years Majority of mothers (78.35%) had normal vaginal delivery. Maximum of mothers (85%) had high level of practices regarding newborn care. Highest mean percentage practice score on observational checklist regarding newborn care (93.33) in the area of thermoregulation.

Conclusion: Mothers had better practices in thermoregulation area regarding newborn care than in feeding and skin and cord care. The age of the mothers was found to be significantly associated with level of practices.

Abstract

Background: There are an increasing number of studies which show that certain personality traits predispose an individual to develop psychiatric disorders. The current study tried to examine whether generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder associated with three personality traits sociability, self- confidence and ambitiousness on SCT.

Methods: Study examined the three personality traits sociability, self-confidence and ambitiousness of 80 participants select between two age group midlife (35-50) and post adulthood (50-80) purposively. The study conducted on40participants who’s suffering with generalized anxiety disorder and the other group 40 participants of OCD. Total participants diagnosed case of two neurotic disorders. Study was conducted in Bareilly mental hospital, Bareilly India and Agra mental hospital, Agra, U.P., India. Sentence completion test was administered on all the included subjects.

Result: OCD patients are more ambitious and confident in comparison to GAD on Sentence completion projective test of personality.

Conclusion: Post adulthood (50-80) participants are found to be more ambitious in comparison to pre adulthood participants.
