Article Synopsis
  • Coal is a crucial energy source in India, primarily used for thermal power generation, with the study focusing on how coal mining contributes to land degradation in Chirimiri, Chhattisgarh.
  • Satellite data analysis from 2000 to 2020 revealed significant loss of forests (48.9%) and waterbodies (37.6%) due to mining activities, leading to a marked increase in degraded land and built-up areas.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of effective eco-restoration initiatives to combat soil health decline and enhance resilience against land degradation in coal-mined regions.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored the effectiveness of measuring heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO) on newborns' foreheads compared to traditional wrist sensors during their first 10 minutes of life.
  • - Results showed that forehead sensors had a higher success rate for HR readings (100%) and better agreement with ECG data than wrist sensors (69%).
  • - The forehead measurements also provided consistently higher SpO values than the wrist methods, indicating the potential benefits of using forehead monitoring in clinical settings.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is an X-linked recessive rare disease condition in which audiological deficit is also observed. A 4-year-old male child with PMD underwent an audiological evaluation. The results suggested normal middle ear and outer hair cells functioning, with only peak I of the auditory brainstem response present until 30 dBnHL.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is the formation of blood cells outside the bone marrow, typically occurring in response to chronic anemia or bone marrow dysfunction. While EMH is most commonly observed in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes, its occurrence in the kidney is exceedingly rare. In this case report, we are presenting a case of a 49-year-old male diagnosed with polycythemia vera who had an incidental right renal mass, which was histo-pathologically proven as extramedullary hematopoiesis in the right kidney mimicking lymphoma.
