A Promising Statistical Approach For Studying The Collisional Excitation Induced By Co: Application To The Cs-Co System, Amélie Godard Palluet, Richard Dawes, Ernesto Quintas-Sánchez, Adrian Batista-Planas, François Lique

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The calculations of rate coefficients for the interpretation of molecular spectra are a recognized computationally expensive task. This is particularly true for media like comets, where the dominant species (CO, CO₂, and H₂O) have relatively high masses. Currently, no clear methodology exists to treat the collisional excitation of heavy species at low temperatures, thus limiting the number of collisional studies on such species. We present here a promising statistical approach to determine collisional rate coefficients of heavy systems as an alternative to fully quantum calculations when heavy projectiles such as CO are considered. This is illustrated …

K1) Understanding The Role Of Constraints In A Religious Destination - A Text-Mining Approach, Ariadna Gassiot Melian, Silvia Aulet Serrallonga

International Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage Conferences

Precedents of inclusive tourism research are linked to analyzing the lack of participation of individual in different activities. Consequently, the exclusion of individuals in different experiences because of different reasons was described and addressed. Thus, one of the most important elements in accessible tourism research is tourism constraints. These can be defined as inhibitors and determinants of travel behavior.

It is widely known that individuals with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by constraints (Smith, 1987). These constraints can affect their behavior in multiple ways, such as preventing them from engaging in certain activities (Crawford, Jackson, & Godbey, 1991), influencing their preferences …

Rare Case Presentation Of Parathyroid Adenoma In A Young Female Presenting As Pathological Fracture Of Long Bones A Case Study, P. Ajay Kale, Himanshi Vats

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research KLEU

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is usually seen in females above the age of 50 years, with a prevalence of 21/1000 whereas the incidence in patients aged 12–28 years is <5%. A solitary adenoma is responsible for 80% of cases of PHPT. PHPT is most commonly asymptomatic. The young age of the patient and her presentation with osteoporosis and bone fractures make this an extremely rare presentation of parathyroid adenoma (PTA). Here, we report a case of PTA in a young female presented with pathological fracture of tibia and humerus. The case was diagnosed as PTA based on clinical symptoms and investigations. Surgical intervention, i.e. parathyroidectomy was performed under GA.

Robotic Surgery In Otorhinolaryngology And Head-And-Neck Oncology, Santosh Kumar Swain

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research KLEU

Robotic technology applications in the surgical and medical disciplines have been developed gradually over many years with few contributions from many sources. Over conventional open procedures, these technologies provide a variety of benefits, including enhanced cosmesis, lower morbidity, and higher surgical safety. In < 2 decades, robotic surgery in otorhinolaryngology has advanced fast. It has been utilized in the surgical treatment of several pathological lesions and has become the part of the standard care in the treatment of oropharyngeal malignancies. Robotic surgery provides improved visualization, instrumentation, and ergonomics in comparison to conventional approaches in otorhinolaryngology, although cost remains a concern. Future robotic surgery will use technological innovation to higher visualization, expand surgical access, and even augment surgical decision-making with artificial intelligence. In this review article, we discuss the history of robotic surgery, the use of robotic surgery in otorhinolaryngology and head-and-neck surgery, and advantages and disadvantages of robotic surgery.

Short-Term Effect Of Multifidus Muscle Intramuscular Electrical Stimulation In Chronic Low Back Pain, Manoj Kumar Sharma, Sarika Chaudhary

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research KLEU

Interventions for mechanical low back pain (LBP) include physical therapy and pharmaceutical management, as well as surgical intervention. Although the paraspinal muscles have been identified as important spinal stabilizers and are targeted during physical therapy, diminished activation of this muscle can lead to biomechanical dysfunction and lead to mechanical LBP. Intramuscular electrical stimulation (IMES) with low-frequency (2 Hz) current facilitates release of endogenous opioids which promotes analgesia and causes activation of multifidus muscle and improves the changes produced by muscular dysfunction. After single session of intervention, the patient reported that her pain levels were 0 and 1 on a numeric …
