Laparoscopic lateral pancreaticojejunostomy in the current era: A narrative review.

Chronic pancreatitis is a benign disease which causes recurrent abdominal pain and loss of pancreatic function. Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) is a commonly performed drainage procedure for this condition. While usually performed through an open approach, there have been few cases of laparoscopic approaches for this condition.

A hybrid Bi-LSTM and RBM approach for advanced underwater object detection.

This research addresses the imperative need for efficient underwater exploration in the domain of deep-sea resource development, highlighting the importance of autonomous operations to mitigate the challenges posed by high-stress underwater environments. The proposed approach introduces a hybrid model for Underwater Object Detection (UOD), combining Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) with a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). Bi-LSTM excels at capturing long-term dependencies and processing sequences bidirectionally to enhance comprehension of both past and future contexts.

Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of Highly Porous CeO-Doped Zr Nanoparticles for Supercapacitor Applications.

The aim of this work was to develop an ultrasonic-assisted synthesis method for the fabrication of CeO-doped Zr nanoparticles that would improve the performance of supercapacitor electrodes. This method, which eliminates the need for high-temperature calcination, involves embedding CeO into Zr nanoparticles through 1 hr (CeO-Zr-1) and 2 hrs (CeO-Zr-2) of ultrasonic irradiation, resulting in the formation of nanostructures with significant improvements in their electrochemical properties. Through physicochemical analysis, we observed that the CeO-doped Zr nanoparticles, particularly those treated for 2 hrs (CeO-Zr-2), exhibit superior crystalline phase purity, optimal chemical surface composition, minimal agglomeration with particle sizes below 50 nm, and an impressive average surface area of 178 m/g.

Neuromelioidosis - A retrospective review of thirteen cases from a tertiary care centre from South India.

Neurologic melioidosis warrants attention in view of its rarity and lethal consequences. We performed a retrospective review of culture confirmed neurologic melioidosis reported between 2017 and 2023. Thirteen patients were identified with median age 43 years and all but three were males.

Musculoskeletal melioidosis-a retrospective review of 22 cases from a tertiary care centre in South Tamilnadu.

A retrospective review of culture confirmed musculoskeletal melioidosis reported between December 2014 and February 2024 was conducted. 22 of 100 patients with culture proven melioidosis infection had musculoskeletal involvement. Median age was 47 years with 95.
