Critical review on toxic contaminants in surface water ecosystem: sources, monitoring, and its impact on human health.

Surface water pollution is a critical and urgent global issue that demands immediate attention. Surface water plays a crucial role in supporting and sustaining life on the earth, but unfortunately, till now, we have less understanding of its spatial and temporal dynamics of discharge and storage variations at a global level. The contamination of surface water arises from various sources, classified into point and non-point sources.

Hemodynamic Effects of Bone Cement Implantation in Hip Arthroplasty: Insights from a Prospective Study in Eastern India.

Introduction: Bone cementation has various effects on hemodynamics including potentially fatal bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS). Most of the studies on BCIS are from developed countries. We have studied the effect of bone cement on hemodynamics in hip arthroplasty in the eastern Indian population and compared it with the available literature.

Effective removal of nitrate and phosphate using graphene nanosheets synthesized from waste plastics.

In this work, waste plastics have been used with bentonite clay to produce silica-containing graphene nanosheets (GNs) for adsorption of nitrate and phosphate from synthetic water. The GNs were obtained by the two steps process, namely (1) pyrolysis at 750 °C and (2) ball milling. Then, GNs were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, HRTEM and EDX spectroscopy, which provided the details of material's morphology, surface properties, and composition.

Soil-mustard revitalization via rice husk ash, a promising soil amendment material for sustainable management of heavy metal contamination in tropical ecosystem.

Prolonged wastewater irrigation in agriculture has led to the accumulation of heavy metals in soil, endangering both the soil quality and food safety, thereby posing a potential threat to human health through the consumption of contaminated crops. The present study aimed to enhance the yield of mustard (Brassica juncea L. cv.

Screening of mustard cultivars for phytoremediation of heavy metals contamination in wastewater irrigated soil systems.

The mustard (Brassica juncea L.) plant is a well-known and widely accepted hyper-accumulator of heavy metals. The genetic makeup of mustard's cultivars may significantly impact their phytoremediation capabilities.

Traumatic bilateral neck of femur fracture in paediatric age: A case report and review of literature.

Bilateral femoral neck fractures are rare, and only a few cases have been reported following major trauma in children. An 8-year-old male patient presented with pain both hips and inability to bear weight on his lower limbs, four days after he fell through a roof while playing. The anteroposterior pelvic radiograph showed a displaced transcervical fracture of the right femoral neck and an undisplaced transcervical fracture of the left femoral neck.

On estimation of P(Y < X) for inverse Pareto distribution based on progressively first failure censored data.

The stress-strength reliability (SSR) model ϕ = P(Y < X) is used in numerous disciplines like reliability engineering, quality control, medical studies, and many more to assess the strength and stresses of the systems. Here, we assume X and Y both are independent random variables of progressively first failure censored (PFFC) data following inverse Pareto distribution (IPD) as stress and strength, respectively. This article deals with the estimation of SSR from both classical and Bayesian paradigms.

Carpet industry irrigational sources risk assessment: Heavy metal contaminated vegetables and cereal crops in northern India.

Wastewater is often discharged to natural water bodies through an open channel as well as used by marginal farmers to irrigate the agricultural fields, particularly in sub-urban areas of developing countries. In the present study, the samples of irrigation water, soil, vegetables (i.e.

Outcomes of operative management in the delayed presenting neck of femur fractures in children: A case series.

Introduction: Fracture neck of femur in pediatric age group occurs due to high energy trauma and is an uncommon entity with high complication rate. No uniform guidelines are present to manage these fractures, especially in delayed presentation of fracture neck of femur as a smaller number of such cases were reported.

Cases: Eight children (nine hips), five boys and three girls of age <15 years, were operated on.

A Retrospective Audit of Demography and Different Surgical Modalities Adopted for Giant Cell Tumor of Bone in Eastern India.

Background and objective There is scarce data on demography and different surgical treatment modalities for giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) from eastern India. In light of this, the present study aimed to examine the demographic characteristics, different surgical treatment modalities, and recurrence rate of GCTB at a tertiary care institute in Bihar. Materials and methods A retrospective audit of 52 GCTB patients who were treated at the center from January 2016 to December 2020 was conducted.

A Retrospective Cohort Analysis of Limb Salvage Surgery Using Mega Prosthesis in Bone Tumours at a Tertiary Care Centre in Eastern India.

Background The method known as "limb salvage surgery" (LSS) aids in the removal of extremity tumours, and reconstruction is completed with satisfactory oncologic, functional, and cosmetic outcomes. Oncologic clearance is given first priority, followed by functional outcomes. Worldwide, the trend has already shifted away from amputations and toward limb salvage surgery for eligible patients due to efficient chemotherapy regimens, improved imaging techniques, precise administration of enhanced radiation, better reconstructive choices, and developments in bio-engineering.

Ultrahigh sensitive long-period fiber grating-based sensor for detection of adulterators in biofuel.

An ultra-sensitive sensor based on dual resonance long-period fiber gratings has been fabricated for the detection of methanol and water content in ethanol. The developed sensor is compact in size and light weight and employs a highly accurate spectral interrogation technique for adulterant detection, increasing its applicability compared to conventional surface plasmon resonance based sensors, which are generally expensive, as they require metal film deposition. We demonstrate that the sensor is capable of achieving sensitivity of 802.

Osteochondrosis of Primary Center of Patella: A Case Report.

Introduction: Osteochondrosis of the primary ossification center of the patella (Kohler's Disease) is a rare and self-limiting condition of unknown etiology. Sometimes it may be found as normal variant.

Case Report: A 7-year-old boy presented with anterior right knee pain.

Cost-effective synthesis and characterization of CuO NPs as a nanosize adsorbent for As (III) remediation in synthetic arsenic-contaminated water.

The lower concentration of arsenic in the groundwater is serious health concerns of the people who are continuously taking from their drinking water. In this study, synthetic arsenic-contaminated water was prepared in the laboratory with varying concentrations of arsenic (100 to 1000 μg/L) and treated by nanosize adsorbent (copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs)). The colloidal and powder form of CuO NPs were synthesized in the laboratory by the hydrothermal technique on a large scale and their shape and size were confirmed by XRD, FTIR, FESEM, and HRTEM analysis.

Growth, serum biochemical, and histopathological responses of broilers administered with silver nanoparticles as a drinking water disinfectant.

The supplementation of 50 ppm dosed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a disinfectant in broilers drinking water was investigated to examine their growth performance, blood serum biochemistry, and organ histology in the case group, compared to the control. The growth performance parameters, such as water intake, feed intake, and body weight were recorded 6 times, each in an interval of 7 days, over a period of 42 days. At the end of each 42 days, the blood and major organs of the 1 case boiler out of 75 and 1 control broiler out of 75 were collected in random.
