This research paper aims to optimize the TIG welding parameters to join dissimilar metals of AA5083 and AA7075 using the Taguchi technique. The TIG welding current and root gap of butt geometry configuration are considered input parameters, and welding characteristics such as tensile strength, 0.2% of yield strength, hardness, and impact energy are output responses.

Estimates of the sex distribution of mpox patients and patterns will enable a better understanding of the ongoing mpox outbreak.
Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, seven databases were searched for studies published in English up to January 4, 2023.
Background: Initial randomised controlled trials (RCTs) showed that prophylactic azithromycin in pregnant women improved maternal and neonatal outcomes; however, the recent evidence did not show any benefit to neonatal survival. There is conflicting evidence over the role of azithromycin prophylaxis in antenatal and intrapartum periods. We explored whether azithromycin prophylaxis in pregnant women improves maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Objectives: The present meta-analysis and systematic review aimed to assess the association of maternal OCD with adverse feto-maternal outcomes.
