Article Synopsis
  • Advances in assisted reproduction techniques have increased the importance of assessing gametes and embryos to improve ART treatment outcomes.
  • The quality of embryos largely depends on the maturity of oocytes and culture conditions, with mature oocytes having higher fertilization rates.
  • Various grading systems and innovative methods (like preimplantation genetic testing and morphokinetics) help identify embryos with the best implantation potential, allowing for more efficient embryo transfer.

Assessment of preferable site for temperature measurement using non-contact infra-red temperature among pediatric patients.

Minerva Pediatr (Torino)

February 2024

Department of Pediatrics, Dr D.Y. Patil Hospital and Research Center, D.Y. Patil Medical College, D.Y. Patil Education Society, Kolhapur, India.

Background: Accurate temperature measurement with little or no discomfort that is safe, without risk of hospital-acquired infections or perforations, is the preferred choice of medical professionals in pediatric settings. The objective was to discover the preferable site for body temperature measurement using non-contact infra-red thermometer (NCIT) among pediatric patients.

Methods: NCIT measurement at mid forehead (F), right temporal region (T), right side of neck-over-carotid artery area (N), jugular notch (J), sternum (S), umbilical region and sublingual region (U) were compared with digital axillary temperature (DAT) in a single attempt in 500 patients, aged between 2 to 5 years with fever.

Enteric infections resulting from the consumption of contaminated drinking water, inadequate supply of water for personal hygiene, and poor sanitation take a heavy toll worldwide, and developing countries are the major sufferers. Consumption of microbiologically contaminated water leads to diseases such as amoebiasis, cholera, shigellosis, typhoid, and viral infections leading to gastroenteritis and hepatitis B. The present investigation deals with the development of effective method to capture and eliminate microbial contamination of water and improve the quality of water and thus decreasing the contaminated waterborne infections.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Hospital and Research Center, Kadamwadi, Kolhapur, Maharashtra 416003 India.

Purpose: HEV infection, a major public health concern, is known to cause large-scale epidemic and sporadic cases of acute viral hepatitis in developing countries. The infection occurs primarily in young adults and is generally mild and self-limiting; however, the case fatality rate is reportedly higher among women, especially during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy.

Methods: This study, a prospective observational study, was conducted at the Dr.
