Exploring the Versatility of Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: A Retrospective Single-Center Study.

Background Transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique provides direct access to orbital fat, offering reduced risk of complications, such as ectropion, entropion, fat over-resection, and inferior oblique muscle palsy. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique, focusing on the incidence of postoperative complications, the recovery time, and the feasibility of combining ancillary procedures with this approach. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the outcomes of 88 patients who underwent transconjunctival postseptal blepharoplasty at a private hospital in northern India between July 2022 and January 2024.

The Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Reducing Pain, Pruritis, and Improving Wound Healing of Skin Graft Donor Site.

 Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process. Therefore, no single agent can efficiently mediate all aspects of the wound healing process. Split-thickness graft has become a workhorse of plastic surgery for wound or raw area cover.

Performance evaluation of vinasse treatment plant integrated with physico-chemical methods.

With an objective to assess environmental management criteria of a vinasse treatment plant (VTP) and to evaluate the critical environmental parameters, a study was undertaken in a multi-product (packaged apple juice, distillery, brewery, packaged drinking water) brewery-cum-distillery unit. The facility with a volumetric loading rate of 11-15 kg COD m(-3).day, 3.

A novel process to treat spent petroleum catalyst using sulfur-oxidizing lithotrophs.

A novel process was developed using sulfur-oxidizing bacteria to extract metal values like Ni, V and Mo from spent petroleum catalyst. Bacteria were grown in elemental sulfur media for five day and after filtering, the filtrate was used for leaching purpose. Effect of different parameters such as contact time, particle size, pulp density and lixiviant composition were studied to find out the extent of metal leaching during the leaching process.

An investigation into the prospects of arsenic(v) removal from contaminated groundwater using untreated bauxite ore.

Steady-state experiments were conducted on arsenic (V) removal from contaminated groundwater using two different grades of bauxite ore. The materials considered were refractory grade bauxite (RB) with high alumina and low iron content and feed bauxite (FB) with moderate alumina and high iron content. Adsorption studies were carried out for different parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, As(V) concentration and reaction time to establish optimum conditions.

Adsorption kinetics of natural dissolved organic matter and its impact on arsenic(V) leachability from arsenic-loaded ferrihydrite and Al-ferrihydrite.

The present work was broadly divided into two parts: first, the efficiency of synthetically prepared ferrihydrite and Al-ferrihydrite to adsorb dissolved organic matter (DOM) was tested as a function of time, pH and ionic strength and its effects on specific surface area was found. In the second part, the effect of DOM concentration and solution pH was studied to elucidate the influence of this two parameters on As(V) leachability from As(V) loaded ferrihydrite and Al-ferrihydrite. It was found that both pH and ionic strength had significant influence on DOM adsorption.

Help-seeking patterns for children with epilepsy in rural India: implications for service delivery.

Purpose: Most people in the world with epilepsy are untreated with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). In some developing countries, this is because treatment facilities are unavailable or difficult to access. It has even been suggested that indigenous health systems threaten the prospect of the global control of epilepsy with AEDs.

Social integration of children with epilepsy in rural India.

Only a small fraction of people with epilepsy in developing countries has access to medical facilities. Even with effective treatment, their psychosocial needs are often overlooked in the absence of obvious disability. In rural areas, community-based rehabilitation programmes assist in the integration of people with disabilities into employment and the community.
