Background: Large wounds following surgery for neural tube defects are difficult to close; physical wound characteristics such as position and dimension would serve as a guide for their surgical closure.

Aim: To study how wound dimension determines the choice between primary and rhomboid flap closure of skin defects following surgery for neural tube defects.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on cases of neural tube defects operated in the department of paediatric surgery at a tertiary center for 3 years from January 2015 to December 2017.

Article Synopsis
  • Time delay estimation (TDE) is crucial for speaker localization and tracking but often relies on the assumption that speech signals have a Gaussian distribution.
  • This paper explores how TDE performance is affected by different speech distribution models, addressing issues like noise and reverberation that impact sound capture from far-field microphones.
  • It proposes a new TDE method using generalized Gaussian distributions and derives entropy expressions that show TDE results can remain consistent regardless of the speech distribution model, given the same covariance matrix.

The present study was conducted with a view to assess the burden of pseudomonal infection in ICU patients of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Uttaranchal. Of the 525 patients selected for the study, during a 1-year period, 60 patients developed features of nosocomial infection and among them Pseudomonas was isolated from one or more samples in 18 patients. The isolated strains were speciated and further characterized for determining their antibiogram and for production of beta-lactamase, extended spectrum beta-lactamase and metallo-beta-lactamase enzymes.
