Cross-layer aware transport protocols for wireless networks
No full textThis dissertation addresses the problem of reliable file transfer over single-hop and multi-hop shared-media wireless networks which are generally characterized by fluctuating bandwidth and error characteristics. Traditional reliable file transport protocols such as TCP assume relatively slow-varying links and were not generally designed to deal with interference problems of shared media wireless networks. The large performance gap between unreliable UDP and reliable TCP motivates the investigation of new transport protocols that might achieve significantly faster file transfer than TCP on wireless media.
CLAP - a Cross Layer Aware transport Protocol has been developed as a general solution for reliable file transfer, with decoupled flow control and error control to accommodate time-varying links. Error control in CLAP was designed to minimize interference and round-trip time estimation. Flow control in the proposed transport protocol leverages MAC status information via a novel cross-layer software framework (CLF), developed to provide systematic access to intra-node and inter-node status information.
Single hop evaluations, which consider an 802.11b wireless LAN with wired backhaul, were carried out using both NS2 simulations and ORBIT test-bed experiments. In time-varying, high loss scenarios, TCP shuts down operation without MAC retries, while an early CLAP version (CLAP-beta) achieves over 68% of upper-bound UDP performance. In noise-free scenarios, a "skip-ACKs" TCP modification to reduce interference achieves limited gains since TCP flow control depends on regular ACKs, while CLAP-beta approaches peak UDP performance by fully using the bandwidth available.
Multi-hop evaluations with NS2 simulations consider a 3-hop primary path in a 4x4 wireless mesh over 802.11b single-channel interfaces. Occasional background flows and on-off channel noise injection produce bandwidth and error fluctuations. These simulations expose the general multi-hop wireless problem where self interference in the forward path significantly reduces end-to-end bandwidth. Increasing interference and random packet losses tend to degrade TCP performance even more significantly than in 1-hop scenarios. Here, CLAP-final with improvements (relative to CLAP-beta) to reduce dependence on RTT estimation achieves over 90% of UDP performance in a variety of time-varying conditions.
This thesis demonstrates the efficacy of reliable file transfer using CLAP to address interference and time-varying links in both single- and multi-hop wireless network scenarios. Future research opportunities include cross-layer techniques for error control, efficient inter-node protocols for CLF, and tighter integration with mesh network routing protocols.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-113).by Sumathi Gopa

Effect of hyperglycemia on serum uric acid levels - A real world comparative study
No full textObjective: - To determine the relationship between hyperglycaemia and uric acid levels.
Material and methods:- Patients, with known diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance/newly detected patients of diabetes treated on OPD basis or in patients admitted in B.T.G.H over a period of 1yr from April 2017 to March 2018.Study design: - randomized, comparative, cross-sectional.
Result: - 19 cases of type 2 DM had hypouricemia while 6 in controls .7 cases of IGT had hyperuricemia, 6 controls had hyperuricemia and none in patients with type 2 DM.Conclusion:- Serum uric acid concentration is slightly reduced in patients with type 2 DM. Serum uric acid concentration is increased in patients with IG
A VERY INFREQUENT ASSOCIATION OF WILLIAM-BEURAN SYNDROME AND TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
No full textWB-S Autosomal Dominant Disorder is the most common genetic disorder. We report a case of 20 year old with infrequent association of WBS and TOF. Clinical examination and ECHO confirmed TOF, WB-S was suspected based on the clinical signs used in the scoring system of WB-S which were described by AAP(2001), FISH study was performed in this patient because of having more than 3 clinical signs of WB-S and FISH study showed 7q11.23 deletion and remains the gold standard laboratory investigation for WB-S.

No full textRenal tubular acidosis secondary to autoimmune interstitial nephritis is quite common in patients with Sjogren`s syndrome. Here we present a case of 24 year old female who presented with Acute Hypokalemic Quadriparesis and was later diagnosed with distal RTA. Patient did not have features of xerostomia or xerophthalmia but was diagnosed to have Primary Sjogren`s syndrome fromserological findings,in this case renal involvement preceded subjective Sicca syndrome.Patient recovered after giving i.v potassium. Patient was treated with corticosteroids and is asymptomatic during the one year follow up period
Free-flap reconstitutions of head and neck defects after oncologic ablation
No full textBackground: Head and neck cancers are the sixth most common cancers worldwide. The primary treatment modality for most head and neck cancers is surgery with reconstruction of resultant defects. Reconstruction of these defects is a unique challenge as it has to not only restore integrity but also function and often cosmesis. The objective of this study was to assess the utility of free flaps in the reconstruction of these defects, done in a tertiary care centre in a three-tier city in India. Methodology: We analyzed the computerized medical records of the last 3 years in this retrospective study carried out in the department of head and neck oncology at the cancer centre. The study included cases that had undergone surgery for head and neck cancer and underwent free flap reconstruction. Results: Out of the 1061 cases requiring reconstruction after an oncologic ablation, 201 cases underwent free flap reconstruction. For defects requiring Facio cutaneous reconstruction, the radial forearm was the preferred donor free flap site, while the fibula was the preferred donor site for mandibular reconstructions survival rate was 94.5%, with factors like age and comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension or habits like cigarette smoking or tobacco chewing not affecting survival rates. Twenty cases of minor flap complications were observed. Conclusions: Free flap reconstructions for head and neck defects after oncologic ablation have been a boon with good survival rates and immense flexibility of use, giving good cosmetic and functional outcomes. Our study shows that a significant number of free flap reconstructions can be done in a tertiary care centre in a three-tier city in India with an internationally comparable survival rate
