Fulminant Spinal Epidural Abscess with Gas
Abstract: Spinal epidural abscess is a medical emergency and is usually secondary to hematogenous spread. The primary focus in most cases is skin or soft tissue and is often associated with vertebral osteomyelitis and paraspinal abscess. The most common predisposing factor is diabetes. Other factors include immunosuppression, spinal surgery or trauma. Epidural abscess with gas is much rarer. We report the case of a 49-year-old diabetic lady with pararenal, paraspinal and …

Fertility-Preserving Surgeries in Carcinoma Cervix – What Is the Current Evidence?
Abstract: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in India. Fourteen percent of the patients diagnosed with cervical cancer in India are under the age of 40. As more women decide to delay childbearing, the number of nulliparous women with cervical cancer may increase. Early-stage cervical cancer has been traditionally treated with radical hysterectomy or radical radiotherapy. Both forms of therapy will not preserve fertility. In 1987, a French surgeon, Professor …

A Comprehensive Review on Brain Tumour Classification through Deep Learning Utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks
Abstract: Abstract- Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) constitute a widely used deep learning approach that has frequently been applied to the problem of brain tumor diagnosis. Such techniques still face some critical challenges in moving towards clinic application. Brain tumours are classified using a biopsy, which is not normally done before conclusive brain surgery. The enhancement of this technology by machine learning could aid radiologists in tumour detection without the use of …

Design and Performance Analysis of a Log Periodic Dipole Antenna with a Frequency Range of 1350 to 2690 MHz
Abstract: The introduction of broadband systems to communication and non-communication technologies has demanded the design of broadband antennas. RF antennas have relatively small bandwidth and poor directivity while the log periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) provides better directivity and gain with wide bandwidth. For a communication link and data transmission at higher rates, wider bandwidth is required with high gain and directivity. This necessitates designing a wideband antenna. In this paper, a …
