A Remote Sensing Approach for Monitoring Seasonal Variations in the Water Quality of Lake Guaiba, Southern Brazil
Abstract: Freshwater resources in the tropics are subjected to high rate of pollution due to algal blooms during the summer and due to particulate and organic waste discharge from urban areas during spring. Landsat TM images were used to calculate biochemical oxygen demand and turbidity of Lake Guaiba in Southern Brazil during 2010–2011. The results obtained were compared with the values derived from a yearlong sampling data which were analyzed in …

Compaction and Subgrade Characteristics of Clay Soil Modified with Beas Sand, Fly Ash, and Waste Ceramic
Abstract: The most concerning problem today with the thermal power plant is the disposal of fly ash. The use of fly ash as landfill causes great environmental pollution like groundwater contamination since coal contains trace levels of heavy metals. Similarly, waste ceramic too causes great environmental problem. So, there is a need to utilize these materials by exploiting their inherent properties to solve the environmental and disposable problem. This paper brings …

Managing Pavement Settlement Risk: Impact of Waterlogging and Soil Conditions
Abstract: In the context of road infrastructure, the occurrence of waterlogging due to rainfall can have significant repercussions. Rainwater often infiltrates the road surface and, depending on factors such as the depth of the foundation and the extent of penetration into the ground, can lead to the soil beneath the road becoming either moist or saturated. This, in turn, can result in a reduction of the soil's bearing capacity. When vehicles …

Treatment Approaches in Intracranial Hypertension: A Review
Abstract: Intracranial hypertension is considered, when intracranial pressure (ICP) increases above 20 mmHg for a period of more than 5 min. A persistent rise in ICP produces compression effect over cerebral vasculature and reduces cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). It results in brain stem compression and herniation, if left untreated. A systematic assessment of clinical status, serial and continuous monitoring of vital parameters and evidence based therapeutic …

A Typical Gartner’s Duct Cyst-Case Report Symptomatically Managed by Unani Drugs
Abstract: Gartner’s duct cysts develop from the vestigial remnants of mesonephric (Wolffian) ducts which most often develop during and after late adolescence. It is a rare disease entity; small cysts and asymptomatic cysts usually do not require any treatment. Symptomatic cysts are usually managed by procedures like cyst drainage or aspiration and intra-cystic tetracycline, whereas large cysts may be treated with surgical treatment. For small symptomatic cysts, Unani medicine may provide …

Glial Cells in Viral and Bacterial Infections
Abstract: The Central nervous system consists of neurons and glial cells. Neurons constitute about half the volume of the CNS and glial cells make up the rest. They are also known as supporting cells of the nervous system. The three types of CNS supporting cells are Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes and microglia. The supporting cells of Peripheral Nervous System are known as Schwann cells. The main functions of glial cells are to surround …

Antibiotic Resistance in the Bacterial Isolates of Bengaluru Lakes
Abstract: Increased urbanization in Bengaluru has resulted in excessive drainage of antibiotic-resistant bacteria into its pristine lakes via sewage and seepage. This pollution of the resistant bacteria is a direct result of the unregulated use and abuse of antibiotics which has only increased over the years and become a global health threat. Regarding this issue, we conducted a study to confirm the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in Bengaluru lakes. For this, …

Role of Axillary Reverse Mapping in Reducing the Risk of Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Patients: Current Perspectives
Abstract: Axillary reverse mapping is the technique of mapping and subsequently preserving the arm lymphatic drainage during axillary dissection. In 2007 Hiroo Suami described a constant sentry node draining most of the upper limb in anatomical dissection of cadavers. The presence of this node and its fairly constant location was later confirmed by many authors in clinical studies. With the use of blue dye alone, the detection rates are low than …

Posterior Horseshoe Fistula with Horse-Shoe Ishiorectal Abscess with Bilateral Supralevator Abscess Tract (Extending upto S1)
Abstract: Ano-rectal sepsis is a benign perianal disease. Fistula in ano develops as a sequel to an abscess that does not heal, bursts or is drained inadequately. We are reporting an unusual case of bilateral Ischiorectal abscess/fistula (Horse-shoe) with high supralevator abscess tract (extending upto S1 vertebrae), with a common internal opening posteriorly in the midline and external openings at laterally at both sides. Such atypical abscess/fistula is uncommon and complex. …

Thyroid Abscess: Presentation and Management: A Case Report in Adult Patient
Abstract: Introduction: Thyroid abscess is an uncommon condition. This is due to: 1) anatomical factors in the form of rich blood supply and well developed capsule; and 2) physiological factors such as high iodine content. Both Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis (AST) and thyroid abscess represent 0.1 to 0.7% of the thyroid lesions managed surgically. Aim: To raise the clinical suspicion of this condition among clinicians so that it can be diagnosed early …
