The psychology behind drastic transformation surgeries and the surgical fraud

Medical advancements in the 21st century have enabled people to do things that were once beyond our imagination. Medical science today is not only limited to curing diseases but it also includes cochlear implants, eye implants, organ donation/ transfer etc. It was in the 1960s that the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) found a new substance called silicone to treat skin imperfections. The experiment escalated to a point that the MD of Houston, Thomas Cronin discovered that the same element could be used in breast implants. Since then, there have been around 15.7 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and about 1.8 million cosmetic surgical procedures that include breast augmentation, liposuction, nose reshaping, eyelid surgeries and tummy tuck (statistics provided by ASPS). However, apart from the people who indulge in such types of surgeries to fix their imperfections, there are also a group of people who have undergone unnecessary and harsh surgeries in order to express their thoughts or to look like a cartoon character they fantasized in their childhood. The Barbie or the cartoon characters were created to imitate humans, but in the present scenario, people have the mindset to imitate cartoons and dolls. Makeup was not enough to hide bodily imperfections which is why some people resorted to solving them with surgeries, ‘the permanent solution’. This paper looks into the cases of Pixee Fox, Valeria Lukyanova and Vinny Ohh particularly, who have undergone drastic surgeries to look animated. Even though the far-reaching possibilities of medical science has been proved through these patients (victims), it can not be denied that such unnecessary surgeries need to be stopped because it is harmful and has resulted to side effects and deaths.

Black box system

The occurrence of the natural disaster is a big loss for human life and property. Here we introduce an embedded system called black box which has a water level sensor that helps in the rescue mission. The black box system is an embedded system with two sections, one section in user side for interacting with the user and another section is in authority side to track the location of the user and to provide the service. Our system is trying to avoid the problems created due to natural disasters. Hence it was concluded that Black box system ensures the maximum safety of mankind and infrastructure.

Clinical evaluation and surgical management of incisional hernia

Repair of hernia by Laparoscopic technique has revolutionized the treatment of incisional hernia repair by reducing the morbidity and less stay in the hospital of the patient. This study has been undertaken to assess the magnitude of this problem, various factors leading to development of this condition and management. This is a hospital-based descriptive type of study done on 100 incisional hernia cases in the Department of Surgery at National Institute of Medical Science and Research, Jaipur, Rajasthan from January 2017 to June 2018. All the cases were operated and prolene mesh repair were done. The next immediate post-operative complications were also be evaluated here. Our study showed that the Incidence of incisional hernia is maximum (up to 60%) in the age group of 31-50 years and hence the ratio of male: female was 0.15:1. Most of the cases were found “with only swelling” which is about 73%. 40% of the cases where Patients had previous operations using planned incision, 19% cases in upper midline incisions and 13% in paramedian incisions, 11% in Lower midline incisions. According to analysis, 30% of patients as compared to 70% of patients who underwent Mesh Repair instead of Anatomical Repair. we also examined that 22% of patients had wound infection which was treated or handled with antibiotics according to the culture and sensitivity report. Mesh repair is surely considered superior compare to anatomical repair. We highly recommend Hernioplasty (mesh repair) as first line of treatment for uncomplicated incisional hernias to prevent recurrences.

Survey Report

IoT based home security system

Internet of Things (IoT) conceptualizes the idea of remotely connecting and monitoring real-world objects (things) through the internet. When it comes to our house, this concept can be aptly incorporated to make it smarter, safer and automated. This project presents the overall design of Home Automation System (HAS) with low cost and wireless system. The smart home concept in the system improves the standard of living at home. Whenever a person comes in front of the house the PIR motion detector sensor detects the person and a message will send to the house owner and he can see the person through the camera in front of the house. The camera is accessed to the webpage and also the light, fan, door lock, an alarm can be controlled with the webpage. The system intended to control electrical appliances and devices in a house with relatively low-cost design, user-friendly interface, and ease of installation. According to the priority of the person, the owner can control the electrical appliances. Those who get the authentication can unlock the door by entering a password on the keypad and use the home appliances depending on the priority set by the owner.

An integrated study for targetting groundwater potential zone in and around Jamankira area of Sambalpur district, Orissa

There is an increasing dependence on groundwater for sustainable development. In recent times there has been a marked over-dependence on groundwater due to inadequate availability of potable surface water resources and vagaries of nature. Hence, an attempt has been made to delineate suitable locations for groundwater potential zones based on the Remote sensing and GIS technique in Jamankira area of Sambalpur district, Orissa.

Experimental performance on engine using acetylene as fuel

Studies reveal that Acetylene gas produced from calcium carbide (CaC2) is renewable in nature and exhibits similar properties to that of hydrogen. An experimental investigation has been carried out on a single cylinder, Spark ignition (SI) engine tested with pure petrol and petrol - Acetylene dual fuel mode with diethyl ether as an oxygenated additive. Experiments are going to conduct to study the performance characteristics of a petrol engine in dual fuel mode by aspirating Acetylene gas in the inlet manifold, with petrol- diethyl ether blends as an ignition source.
