    Analyzing the Effect of Lockdown on Weather Parameters Amid COVID-19 Pandemic of Mid Hill Region of Rajouri District of Jammu & Kashmir, Union Territory, India
    (SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2020-09) Sharma, R.; Vikas, V.; Singh, M.; Sharma, M. K.; Panotra, N.; Sharma, C.; Kumar, D.
    A study was conducted in mid hill region of Rajouri district, J&K, India to analyze the impact lockdown amid covid-19 pandemic on weather parameters. Day and night temperature readings were recorded fortnightly from 1st March to 30th June 2020 from maximum and minimum thermometer, rainfall values from ordinary rain gauge, and soil temperature at different depth from soil thermometers and values were compared with data from 2017-2019 and normal. After analyzing the data statistically using “Descriptive statistics” in MS-Excel 2010, it was observed that within the period of lockdown, the change in day temperature was -6.66% from normal mean value, however night temperature was least affected as it changes 10.33% and rainfall pattern was 19.27% more from normal mean value. The average change in soil temperature in morning at 5 cm, 10 cm and 20 cm depth in lockdown was -4.65%, 3.74% and 2.65% as compared to year 2019 (1st March to 30th June) mean value and the change in soil temperature in evening at same depths was -5.14%, -11.30% and 0.3% from year 2019 (1st March to 30th June) depicting a slow change in values. With the significant sustainable pattern observed in day and soil temperature parameters and rainfall it can be concluded that lockdown might be an effective tool in reducing speed of climate change in future.

    Effect of Lockdown amid COVID-19 Pandemic on Weather Parameters of Mid Hill Region of Jammu District of J&K, UT
    (SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2020-09) Singh, M.; Vikas, V.; Sharma, C.; Sharma, R.
    Aim: A study was conducted in mid hill region of Jammu district, J&K to analyze the impact lockdown amid covid-19 pandemic on weather parameters so as to define it as a tool to mitigate the pace of climate change. Methodology: Day and night temperature readings were recorded fortnightly during 22nd March to 10th June 2020 from maximum and minimum thermometer, relative humidity from dry and wet bulb thermometers in stevenson screen, rainfall values from ordinary rain gauge, evaporation readings from pan evaporimeter and soil temperature at different depth from soil thermometers. Results: After analyzing the data statistically using “Descriptive statistics” in MS-Excel 2010, it was observed that after the implementation of lockdown and with the beginning of unlock down the change in day temperature was -8.07% from normal mean value, night temperature was -4.44% from normal mean value, rainfall pattern was 30.00% more from normal mean value, Relative Humidity (morning) pattern was 6.94% more from normal mean value, relative humidity (evening) pattern was 20.94% more from normal mean value, evaporation pattern was 7.66% more from normal mean value. The average change in soil temperature in morning at 5 cm, 10 cm and 20 cm depth was -3.46%, -3.84% and -7.23% as compared to year 2019 (22nd March to 10th June 2019) mean value and the change in soil temperature in evening at same depths was -7.69%, -6.31% and -4.14% from year 2019 (22nd March to 10th June 2019). Conclusion: With the variable significant pattern observed in almost all parameters, it can be concluded that lockdown might be an effective tool in mitigating pace of climate change in future.

    High diversity in the vaginal microbiome in women following preterm premature rupture of membranes and its effect on fetomaternal outcome
    (Medip Academy, 2024-04) Jhirwal, M.; Singh, P.; Shekhar, S.; Sharma, C.; Kaur, Ghuman N.; Kathuria, P.; Bohra, D.
    Background: Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) complicates 3% of pregnancies and its associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Methods: This was a case control study conducted over a period of two years. Our aim was to evaluate the bacterial colonization of genital tract of antenatal patients who presented with preterm premature rupture of membranes and their maternal and neonatal complications. We studied 6023 patients during our study period among which 156 patients presented with preterm premature rupture of membranes. Results: PPROM was found more commonly among age 25-30 years (46.79%) with p<0.001. Out of 156 pregnant women with PPROM, only 16 patients (10.26%) developed clinical chorioamnionitis. We observed that 43.59% patients (n=68) with PPROM underwent LSCS which was significantly higher than control group (19.93%). Among them 81.41% (n=127) of the patients delivered within 24 hours of admission. Among 156 patients, 94 (59.12%) mothers had babies with birth weight ranging between 1.5-2.5 kg as compared to control group where 30.51% mothers had low birth weight babies. The difference was statistically significant. Approximately 18.24% babies developed respiratory distress syndrome requiring ICU care in study group as compared to 3.03% in control group and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: It is important to diagnose the PPROM early and manage the patient until delivery for better outcome. Timely intervention after proper analysis of risk and benefit of early termination helps in reducing adverse perinatal outcomes, reduced NICU admissions and unnecessary interventions for neonates.

    Uterine Lipoleiomyoma: Case report and review of literature
    (IP Innovative Publication Pvt. Ltd., 2025-06) Myes, D; Kaur, G; Sharma, C.
    Lipoleiomyomas of the uterus are rare benign variant of leiomyoma and the literature suggests an incidence rate between 0.03% and 0.2%. These tumours are usually seen in postmenopausal age group and are mainly asymptomatic. Histo-morphologically, they present with intermingling fascicles of smooth muscle cells, lobules of mature adipose tissue and intervening fibrous areas. Here, we report two cases of a 46-year-old perimenopausal who presented with heavy menstrual bleeding and a 74-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with uterovaginal prolapse. A primary diagnosis of leiomyoma was made based on clinical and radiological features however, histopathological diagnosis revealed it to be lipoleiomyoma.
