The increasing impacts of climate change on global agriculture necessitate the development of advanced predictive models for efficient water management in crop fields. This study aims to enhance the forecasting of evapotranspiration (ET), potential evapotranspiration (PET), and crop water stress index (CWSI) using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. This research integrates high-resolution climatic data from the ACCESS-ESM model and incorporates four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) to represent a wide range of future climate scenarios.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had a significant impact on rail operations worldwide. Adopting control measures such as a 50% occupancy rate can contribute to a safer travel environment, though at the expense of operational efficiency. This paper addresses the issues of social distancing and revenue maximization for a train operating company in a post-pandemic world.

The unprecedented spread of SARS-CoV-2 has pushed governmental bodies to undertake stringent actions like travel regulations, localized curfews, curb activity participation, etc. These restrictions assisted in controlling the proliferation of the virus; however, they severely affected major economies. This compels policymakers and planners to devise strategies that restrain virus spread as well as operationalize economic activities.

Article Synopsis
  • Bangladesh faces various types of floods annually, but there has been no comprehensive assessment of flood-prone areas at a national level until now.* -
  • The study employed a combination of machine learning algorithms, specifically the LWLR-RF model, to analyze historical flood data and environmental factors for predicting flood probabilities, achieving high accuracy metrics.* -
  • The findings indicate the distribution of different flooding categories across Bangladesh, which can inform future flood risk management and land-use planning initiatives.*

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of COVID-19 constituted a public health emergency of global concern.

Objectives: Owing to limited data on critically ill patients admitted to ICU, we aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and prognosis of these patients based on ventilatory variables and clinical features.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 45 critically ill patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who were admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) wards of the hospital from April 8 to May 9, 2020, were enrolled.

Objective: To compare the analgesic effects of femoral nerve block (FNB) and adductor canal block (ACB) after arthroscopic knee surgery.

Methods: This was a prospective randomised clinical trial that enrolled 92 patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Ultrasound-guided FNB or ACB was performed immediately after surgery for pain relief.

Background: Nowadays, ultrasound is increasingly used with a great accuracy in performing nerve blocks for facet joint disease.

Objectives: To measure sonoanatomic characteristics for the facet joints of lumbar vertebras in patients with facetogenic pain and healthy volunteers.

Study Design: Cross-sectional, observational study.

BACKGROUND Diaphragmatic rupture can be seen in up to 5% of car accidents, and 80%-100% of diaphragmatic hernias are associated with other vital organ injuries. Brain, pelvis, long bones, liver, spleen, and aorta are some other organs that can be severely damaged and need different anesthetic managements. CASE REPORT A 37-year-old male victim of a head-on collision who was suffering diaphragmatic rupture and corneal laceration was prepared for an emergency operation 11 hours after the car accident.

Background: Supraglottic devices could be used to reduce postoperative respiratory complications, but there are few studies focused on their use in more prolonged surgeries.

Objectives: In this study, we compared postoperative respiratory complications in patients with prolonged ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeries, whose airways were controlled with tracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway (LMA).

Materials And Methods: In a randomized control trial (RCT), 171 candidates of prolonged ENT surgeries were randomly assigned into two groups.

Background: Postoperative pain is one of the most important complications encountered after surgery. A number of options are available for treating pain following surgery. One of those options is the use of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).

Background: In recent years, intravenously (IV) administered acetaminophen has become one of the most common perioperative analgesics. Despite its now-routine use, IV acetaminophen's analgesic comparative efficacy has never been compared with that of ketamine, a decades-old analgesic familiar to obstetricians, gynecologists, and anesthesiologists alike. This doubleblind clinical trial aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of ketamine and IV acetaminophen on postoperative pain after abdominal hysterectomy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates whether adding hyaluronidase to epidural steroid injections can improve pain relief in patients with low back pain from failed spinal surgeries.
  • The research involved a randomized trial with 25 participants who received either hyaluronidase or normal saline mixed with pain medication, all under the guidance of an experienced pain specialist.
  • Results showed that those receiving hyaluronidase had significantly lower pain scores and better satisfaction with their treatment compared to the saline group, although the study's small sample size is a limitation.
