    Factors Contributing to Unwanted Birth in India: Evidence From Panel Study Design.
    (Light House Polyclinic, 2024-12) Lodhi, T; Yadav, B; Kaur, G; Rohatgi, R.
    Approximately 1 in 16 women worldwide face an unwanted pregnancy each year. According to the latest round of NFHS-5 (2019-22), in India, eight per cent of women reported unwanted birth during the last five years and exhibited a nine percent unmet need for contraception. The paper attempted to examine the association of different predictor variables on the unwanted bearing using the IHDS panel data conducted in 2004-05 and 2011-12. The bivariate and multivariable logistic regression model was employed to examine the determinants of unwanted births among Indian women. The results show that out of the total women who wanted to cease childbearing in 2004-05, 26% experienced unwanted births in between the surveys. The multivariable logistic model showed that Muslim women were more likely to report unwanted childbearing than Hindu women (AOR-2.81, 95% CI (1.73,4.59)). Contraception use also determined the unwanted bearing among the women, and contraceptive users were 80% less likely to report unwanted pregnancy (AOR-0.21 95% CI (0.18, 0.24)) than non-users. Husbands’ involvement can never be neglected in infertility decisions, especially in India. When husbands desire additional children, women are more likely to experience unwanted births (AOR-5.80, 95% CI (4.72,7.11). The multivariate analysis also found that the odds of reporting unwanted pregnancy were low among those with at least one son (AOR- 0.52, 95% CI (0.43, 0.63)). There is a need to educate couples about the importance of small family size and reform the existing girl-child policies. In addition to women, husbands should also be counselled about the benefits of contraception use and the importance of a girl child.

    Phenological Variation in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Varieties through Foliar Application of Cytokinin Analogs and Nutrients under Water Deficit Stress
    (Ms. M. B. Mondal, 2024-02) Madhana Keerthana, S; Ramakrishnan, RS; Ranjithkumar, G; Yadav, B; Upadhyay, A; Samaiya, RK; Sharma, R; Kumar, A.
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), a rainfed crop predominantly grown in temperate and subtropical climates, faces significant challenges in production due to terminal drought stress impacting various phenological stages. This study addresses the challenges posed by terminal drought stress on the phenological stage of chickpea varieties viz., JG 36 and JG 14. The experiment was conducted during the Rabi seasons of 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 at the Experimental Research Farm, Seed Technology Research Unit, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P), using a split-split plot design with three replications. This research also investigates the impact of foliar applications of cytokinin analogs viz., Thiourea, Thidiazuron, and Benzyladenine and nutrients viz., ZnSO4 and KCl on chickpea under water deficit stress conditions. The results revealed significant differences in days to pod formation, seed formation, physiological maturity, and harvest maturity among the irrigation levels, varieties, and foliar spray of plant growth regulators and nutrients. Under different irrigation levels, D1 (Irrigation at 30 DAS and flower initiation) exhibited delayed phenological stages of the crop, while D2 (Drought stress at flowering up to physiological maturity) showed an early onset of all the phenological stages. Under water deficit conditions, JG 14 exhibited accelerated maturity beyond its typical early maturation in comparison to well-watered conditions, highlighting the impact of environmental stress on varietal responses. With respect to the application of plant growth regulators and nutrients, treatment T12 (TDZ @ 10 ppm + 1% KCl) significantly delayed pod and seed formation, as well as physiological and harvest maturity as compared to untreated control (T1). Foliar application of TDZ @ 10 ppm + 1% KCl (T12) enhanced seed filling duration by 2.59 days compared to the untreated control. Further investigations are needed to identify the impact of Thidiazuron and KCl in enhancing seed yield and seed weight of chickpea under optimal and sub-optimal soil water conditions, to provide recommendations for chickpea growers.

    Severe hypoalbuminemia complicating a successful atrial switch operation (Senning) with cardiopulmonary bypass - report on a rare case
    (Medip Academy, 2024-05) Datt, V; Datt, D; Aggarwal, V; Yadav, B; Vachhani, P
    Post-operative hypoalbuminemia has been reported in 12% of neonates and 20% of infants; 97% occurs in the first 48 hours in neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Perioperative hypoalbuminemia is not independently associated with any post-operative morbidity. However, when analysed as a continuous variable, lower serum albumin levels have been reported to be associated with increased post-operative morbidity. Pre-operative low serum albumin level is independently associated with increased odds of post-operative hypoalbuminemia, and prolonged length of hospital stay. Immediate post-CPB (0-24 hour), lower serum albumin level is independently associated with an increased duration of mechanical ventilation. There is a relative paucity of literature on the impact of hypoalbuminemia in the paediatric population. Hypoalbuminemia is a marker of poor outcome in critically ill children and those undergoing a wide range of medical interventions. Albumin infusions may be an effective therapy for fluid resuscitation and for patients with severe hypoalbuminemia. We present a successful perioperative management of a 3 months old-male child, weighing 3.5 kg with dextro-transposition of great arteries (D-TGA) with regressed LV undergoing an atrial switch (Senning) procedure, and uneventful intraoperative course i.e. easy weaning from CPB. However, in the ICU, the baby suffered an unusual complication as severe hypoproteinaemia resulting in acute kidney injury (AKI) with complete anuria, generalized anasarca, hypotension requiring inotropes and vasopressors, and difficult weaning from ventilator.
