(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-05) Kurle, Dr. Sandesh Sitaram; Singh, Dr. Rohit Ravindra; Yemnurwar, Dr. Akshay Murlidhar; Purane, Dr. Sandeep
Background- Fractures of distal femur are one of the most prevalent fractures encountered in high-velocity trauma which are associated with high morbidity and mortality if not managed well. The isolated fracture can itself lead to complications such as Acute Respiratory Distress and pulmonary embolism. This neccesitaties early stabilisation of the fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking compression plate is the treatment of choice for closed fractures of the distal femur. Distal femur anatomic contoured locking compression plate (LCP) has shown to give one of the best results regarding recovery, fracture union, return to work and the functional outcome. We present our experience of management of distal femur fracture at our centre. Study Material and Methodsdone on 36 patients, (NEER'S Classification) age range of 18 to 70 years (irrespective of their sex), were subjected to fixation by locking compression plate after obtaining thorough written informed consent. The observational study was carried at our institute between June 2021 to June 2022 Patients of both gender who were skeletally mature are taken into the study. In 61.5% of patients up to 50 years old and in Results40% of patients older than 50 years, the functional evaluation of LCP using Neers criteria was excellent. There was no statistically significant (p>0.05) difference in patients' functional status according to their age group who had distal femur fractures, which were stabilise by LCP. For supracondylar femur fractures, locking compression plates is a safe technique that has a good functional outcome, early clinical and radiographic union, and few complications.
ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR CONSIDERATION
(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-07) Hooda, Dr. Madhuri; Ladwal, Kavita
In our daily lives, we have to perform multiple tasks in different areas. This leads people to two paths: carrying out the task as soon as possible or postponing it; the latter being part of the tendency to delay the start or completion of a task. This act also known as procrastination. procrastination is the characteristic or behavioural propensity to put off or delay completing a task or making decisions. Procrastination behavior is very common and a serious problem in the era we live in. Academic procrastination appears to be common in academic environments as students frequently put off their obligations without good reason and submit their work right up until the deadline. All levels of kids are impacted, and it may lead to major problems including declining grades and decreased wellbeing. The notion of academic procrastination, reasons why it occurs, negative effects of academic procrastination and several methods for dealing with it are all discussed in this article. It is suggested that some programs should be devised and executed to teach task-oriented coping strategies to students. For this one should reflect on the reasons why you procrastinate, your habits and thoughts that lead to procrastinating

(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-05) Shukla, Dr. Eesha; Narain, Dr. Upma; Gupta, Prof. Arvind
Background: COVID-19 infection in patients with pre-existing respiratory diseases, manifesting as ARDS, while simultaneously affecting multiple organs severely worsened the outcome, raising the need to explore various treatment modalities. To study the impact of haemodialysis on outcomes of COVID-19 pati Objective: ents with pre-existing pulmonary diseases. Methods: Data of patients with known pulmonary comorbities admitted to COVID wards, undergoing haemodialysis for AKI at tertiary care centre, was collected from July 2020 to January 2022. The demographics, baseline parameters and outcomes were recorded. Total 61 Results: patients were included in this retrospective observational study. The percentage of different pre-existing pulmonary pathologies (COPD, Asthma, ILD, and Pulmonary Tuberculosis) were equally distributed among survivors(n=47) and non-survivors(n=14). The non-survivors were older(p=0.003), and had a higher percentage of males (p=0.02), higher percentage of smokers (p=0.02) and alcohol consumers(p=0.011), a lower mean systolic blood pressure, higher pulse rate, higher respiratory rate and lower SpO2. The non-survivors had a lower mean hemoglobin, platelet count, and a higher mean TLC, NLR, and D-dimer levels. On admission, the non-survivors had a higher mean blood urea level and serum creatinine level (p<0.001). The number of hemodialysis done was significantly higher(p=0.041) in the survivors as compared to non-survivors. Conclusion: Our study strongly suggests that haemodialysis can be used as a life saving treatment modality for AKI in COVID positive patients with pre-existing pulmonary disease. Also protocols need to be rede?ned for early initiation and increased frequency of haemodialysis in patients with acute on chronic multisystem insult.

(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-07) Bansal, Himani; Kumaraswamy, Dr. Satish
Language acquisition entails the acquisition of several crucial linguistic components like phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. Individual elements merge seamlessly with each other giving birth to insightful communication whenever needed. Among these varied but fundamental aspects necessary for any competent communicator, is adding on the vital aspect of tense marking appropriately into conversations or text rendering accurately when an event occurred or will occur. We must appreciate this pivotal role played by acquiring fiuency in using verb tenses by young children seeking effective communication alongside understanding its importance a bit more in the language development process. The study attempts to investigate the acquisition of tense markers in typical children speaking Hindi with the goal of assessing data from children in the age range of 6-8 years. Results suggested that tense markers increased with age. Almost half of the tense markers were not fully acquired by the age of 8 years. The research also analysed various studies that uphold the findings.

(Indian Society For Health And Advanced Research, 2023-07) Subha, Mrs. V.; Lakshmi, Dr. C. Thanga; Dr. Subbulakshmi
Fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas are typically used to generate electricity. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and harmful to the environment as they release greenhouse gases when burned. With the increased demand of cleaner sources for electricity generation, renewable sources need to be adopted. In India, Tirunelveli District, solar energy has been used in numerous industrial buildings as a source of electricity generation since the country benefits from high solar radiation throughout the year. However, solar energy is still not used in residential buildings despite a wide interest from the sector. This paper identified and assessed the barriers to implementing solar energy in residential buildings from the perspective of homeowners in India, Tirunelveli District. Based on a literature search followed by a ranking and factor analysis of data from a questionnaire survey, key barriers were identified. Ninety-one responses from residents in India, Tirunelveli District were obtained. The questionnaire results showed that the main barriers to adopting solar systems are financial limitations followed by limited solar suppliers in the region and lack of awareness of government incentives. The results of this study could be used to help suppliers and industrial stakeholders in understanding the major barriers and the government to put forward policies to promote solar systems for electricity generation in residential buildings.
