Acceptability of Prenatal Screening Tests Among Expectant Mothers in India: Insights and Implications for Public Health.

Introduction: Prenatal screening tests are essential for preventing common genetic disorders, yet their acceptability among pregnant women in India remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate the acceptability of prenatal screening tests and their correlation with demographic characteristics among pregnant women in India.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care, public hospital, involving 200 pregnant women.

Understanding the Awareness of Prenatal Genetic Screening Tests Among Pregnant Women in India: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction Genetic disorders pose a significant health challenge in India, with chromosomal abnormalities ranking second only to congenital anomalies in terms of disease burden. Prenatal testing offers a crucial strategy for identifying and managing these disorders. However, the awareness and understanding of prenatal screening tests among pregnant women in India remain understudied.

A Study of Valvular Incompetencies in the Lower Limb Veins Using Doppler Ultrasound Findings.

Introduction: Varicose veins (VV) are one of the most common pathologies associated with the venous system of the lower limb. In the Indian population, its incidence is higher, and it is one of the most commonly encountered cases in the hospital. The study aimed to note the widely affected anatomical structure in male and female varicose patients using Doppler ultrasound (DU) examination findings.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice About the Process of Genetic Counselling Among Clinicians.

Introduction Clinicians agree with the fact that the impact of genetics in the field of medicine is humongous. They have to cope with the rapid advances in the field of clinical genetics and offer the best treatment to the patients at the right time. Disease with an underlying genetic cause not only involves the patient but also the family and the community.

Strong coupling of hybrid states of light and matter in cavity-coupled quantum dot solids.

The formation of plasmon-exciton (plexciton) polariton is a direct consequence of strong light-matter interaction, and it happens in a semiconductor-metal hybrid system. Here the formation of plasmon-exciton polaritons was observed from an AgTe/CdTe Quantum Dot (QD) solid system in the strong coupling regime. The strong coupling was achieved by increasing the oscillator strength of the excitons by forming coupled QD solids.

Induced UV photon sensing properties in narrow bandgap CdTe quantum dots through controlling hot electron dynamics.

Mn-doped CdTe (Mn-CdTe) quantum dot (QD) as well as quantum dot solid (QD solid) nanostructures are formed and the established structures are confirmed through HR-TEM analysis. The dynamics of charge carriers in both doped & undoped QD and QD solid structures were investigated by transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. A slow band edge bleach recovery is obtained for Mn-doped CdTe QD and CdTe QD solid systems at room temperature.

A Study on the Performance and Perception of Medical students in Online Spotter versus Traditional Spotter Examinations.

Introduction: Medical institutions around the world are exploring various newer modes of teaching and assessment methods to incorporate into the teaching curriculum. In this changing situation, e-learning methods are being widely used. For determining the effectiveness of a new learning method, assessment should be done since learning and assessment are intricately associated.

A Cadaveric Study of Splenic Fissures and Bilobed Spleen.

Objectives: Anatomical knowledge regarding the external morphology of the spleen is essential for surgical intervention and radiological diagnosis. A characteristic feature of the spleen is the presence of splenic notches at the superior border; however, such notches rarely extend deep enough to be considered fissures or to separate the spleen into multiple lobes. To date, there are very few cadaveric reports of splenic fissures.

Double Ureter: Incidence, Types, and Its Applied Significance-A Cadaveric Study.

Introduction Congenital ureter anomalies such as double ureters are uncommon developmental anomalies of the renal system. An abnormal branching pattern of ureteric bud results in the formation of double ureter. This study examined the incidence of double ureter in cadavers of a South Indian population.

A Cadaveric Study on the Course of the Cervical Segment of the Internal Carotid Artery and Its Variations.

Introduction The internal carotid artery is the chief source of blood supply to the brain. Variations of the internal carotid artery, such as curved, kinking, and coiling, might result in significant neurovascular problems due to alterations in the dynamics of blood flow. The elongated and tortuous course of the internal carotid artery in the cervical region has a high chance of being damaged during head and neck surgeries.
