(BMJ Publishing Group, 2015) Seema Khanna; Shashi Prakash Mishra; Satendra Kumar; Ajay Kumar Khanna
We present a rare case of carcinoma developing in an accessory breast. The patient presented with a progressive lump in her right axilla for 1 year. On examination, there was a well-developed nipple areola complex in the right axilla overlying a hard, fixed 5×3 cm lump. On investigation, core biopsy revealed poorly differentiated carcinoma of the breast. Mammography also revealed features of a malignant lesion with skin and muscle infiltration. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered followed by modified radical mastectomy after three cycles. Immunohistochemistry study showed positive status of oestrogen and progesterone receptors, and negative HER-2 neu. Three more cycles of chemotherapy along with 50 Gy radiotherapy were given in an adjuvant setting followed by hormone therapy. Copyright 2015 BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved.

Comparative Study of Moisture Dynamics in the Soils of Two Different Sugarcane-Based Cropping System (Viz: Intercropping and Sole) in Western Indo-Gangetic Plains of Uttar Pradesh
(Springer, 2025) Shivam C. Singh; Richa Raghuvanshi; Satendra Kumar; Debashis Dutta; Jagannath Pathak; U. P. Shahi; B. P. Dhyani; Mahendra Pratap Singh
Soil water plays important role in soil–plant consortium in which plant absorbs from soil. Thus, soil acts as reservoir of water towards its proper growth. Sugarcane among the cash crop needs large quantity of water during its life-cycle. Hence, dynamics of water in soil were studied from two major sugarcane-based cropping pattern (intercropping and sole) at three depths at 15 cm interval (0–45 cm). The result invoked that soils were sandy-loam to sandy-clay-loam textured under different cropping system and depth. The increase in the clay content down the depth elevates the holding capacity of water via clogging the pore spaces under all the cropping system and depth. Therefore, the difference in behaviour is mainly attributed to the difference in cropping system only. Intercropping system showed high bulk density, low organic carbon, high clay:carbon ratio, high porosity and high E.C. compared to the sole sugarcane-based cropping system. The moisture dynamics under all cropping system behaved quadratically and attains minimum value. The other moisture parameter derived from the moisture loss curve indicates that intercropping has high moisture loss, high instaneous loss and low average moisture content. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to The National Academy of Sciences, India 2025.

(Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd, 2021) Satendra Kumar; Sanjay K. Saroj; Raghunath S. More; Soham Roy; Amit ND Dwivedi; Satyendra K. Tiwary
Introduction: Nowadays laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic gallstone disease (GSD). Prediction of “difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy” (DLC) may decrease morbidity and mortality as well as reduce the average cost of therapy. At present, very few scoring systems are available to predict the degree of difficulty during surgery. Aim and objective: To compare the outcome of intraoperative findings with preoperating scoring to predict DLC. Materials and methods: Two-hundred and nine patients were having GSD, operated by a single experienced surgeon in 2-year duration. Various preoperative predictors and intraoperative parameters of DLC were used for scoring and categorizing the difficulties, into (0–5), (6–10), and (10–15) as early, difficult, and very difficult surgical procedures, respectively. Result: History of hospitalization for acute cholecystitis, overweight with BMI ≥27.5 kg/m2, palpable gallbladder, wall thickness >4 mm, and impacted stone were the most accurate preoperative predictors of DLC in the age-group of above 50 years. Statistically, a significant association was determined by comparing preoperative evaluation with the intraoperative outcome. Conclusion: The preoperative and intraoperative scoring system can be helpful for assessment, experience, and decision-making. These scoring systems deserve a large-scale prospective study for validation. © The Author(s).
Complications of Lower Limb Edema
(Springer Nature, 2022) Satendra Kumar
Lower limb edema may resolve on its own; unmanaged edema stemming from chronic, systemic, and untreated causes can result in a variety of complications. Edema if left untreated can cause skin stretching to a point of pruritus and discomfort accompanied by painful swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking. Swollen areas are at increased risk of skin ulcers and infection. Cellulitis, dermatitis, superficial thrombophlebitis, and venous ulcer are the likely complications of lower limb edema which develop over time. Blood clots in deep veins, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis, are more likely when blood circulation is decreased as a result of edema. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
Effect of rhizobium, PSB and p-levels on growth, yield attributes and yield of urdbean (vigna mungo l.)
(Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2016) Surya Kant; Achin Kumar; Satendra Kumar; Vipin Kumar; Yogesh Pal; Anil K. Shukla
A field experiment was conducted in kharif 2011 on urdbean genotype T-9. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replication and thirteen treatments. Some microorganisms have capable to convert the insoluble phosphorous to an accessible form and increase the growth and yield attributes viz, plant height, number of branches plant-1, nodulation, dry matter accumulation plant-1, number of pods plant-1, test weight (g), grain yield, straw yield and biological yield (qha-1) of Urdbean. All these characters were recorded higher in treatment T13 by application of (75 kg ha-1 P2O5 + PSB + Rhizobium.) as compared to all other treatments. However, combination of rhizobium, PSB and P levels had proved significant influence on plant growth, yield and its attributing traits in Blackgram.

(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016) Sanjay Kumar Saroj; Satendra Kumar; Yusuf Afaque; Abhishek Kumar Bhartia; Vishnu Kumar Bhartia
Background, Aims, and Objectives. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia typically presents in childhood but in adults is extremely rare entity. Surgery is indicated for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients who are fit for surgery. It can be done by laparotomy, thoracotomy, thoracoscopy, or laparoscopy. With the advent of minimal access techniques, the open surgical repair for this hernia has decreased and results are comparable with early recovery and less hospital stay. The aim of this study is to establish that laparoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a safe and effective modality of surgical treatment. Materials and Methods. A retrospective study of laparoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair done during May 2011 to Oct 2014. Total n=13 (M/F: 11/2) cases of confirmed diaphragmatic hernia on CT scan, 4 cases Bochdalek hernia (BH), 8 cases of left eventration of the diaphragm (ED), and one case of right-sided eventration of the diaphragm (ED) were included in the study. Largest defect found on the left side was 15 × 6 cm and on the right side it was 15 × 8 cm. Stomach, small intestine, transverse colon, and omentum were contents in the hernial sac. The contents were reduced with harmonic scalpel and thin sacs were usually excised. The eventration was plicated and hernial orifices were repaired with interrupted horizontal mattress sutures buttressed by Teflon pieces. A composite mesh was fixed with nonabsorbable tackers. All patients had good postoperative recovery and went home early with normal follow-up and were followed up for 2 years. Conclusion. The laparoscopic repair is a safe and effective modality of surgical treatment for congenital diaphragmatic hernia in experienced hands. © 2016 Sanjay Kumar Saroj et al.
Prevalence of transfusion transmissible infection in blood donors at tertiary care centre of eastern Uttar Pradesh
(J. K. Welfare and Pharmascope Foundation, 2020) Sandip Kumar; Neeraj Dhameja; Satendra Kumar; Sunil Rao; Lalit Prashant Meena; Satyendra Kumar Singh; Neelam Singh
Microbiological safety is very important aspect of blood transfusion services (BTS). Viral infectious agents possess a great risk of transfusion transmitted disease. On the one hand, blood or component transfusion is a lifesav-ing modality but on the other hand it can cause great mortality or morbid-ity in recipient if not used judiciously. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis and Malaria amongst all types of donors donated at blood bank of Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during the year 2017. This was a retrospective study. The blood donors included in this study include all donors coming directly to blood bank and blood donation camps orga-nized by blood bank. Total donation during that period was 22255 units. A detailed questionnaire was given to the donors for registration. A total of 226 units (1.01%) were seropositive. The sero-prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV, and Syphilis were 0.9% (21), 0.79% (177), 0.09% (22), 0.02% (6) respectively. No cases of malaria were detected. TTI can be reduced by motivating maximum voluntary blood donation, reducing replacement donation, public information and donor education awareness programme, stringent donor screening criteria and vigilance of error. © 2020 International Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Role of nanotechnology in organic agriculture
(Elsevier, 2023) Kanti Meena; N.D. Meena; Ram Narayan Meena; Mamta Choudhary; Shashi Meena; Satendra Kumar
Organic agriculture is a holistic way of production that preserves and improves agroecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field of research and application; its terminology and use are in flux. Over time, technological breakthroughs are monitored, and research indicates that nanotechnology will be the future. Organic farming is a preferable alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and is supported by major nations. This is true, especially about human food consumption for health benefits. Utilizing nanoparticles as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nano-biosensors, and nano-growth promoters, among other applications, nanotechnology provides enhanced management of organic farming. These nanoparticles can be manufactured by chemical, physical, and biological processes. Chemical and physical methods of synthesis are inapplicable to organic agriculture since they do not meet the standards of organic farming and have their challenges. Thus, the biological process, also known as the green synthesis of nanomaterials, fits the requirements of organic farming and has attracted the attention of scientists. Extracts of plant components and other microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and mycorrhiza, can be utilized as raw resources for the environmentally friendly synthesis of nanoparticles. The objective of the green synthesis of nanoparticles was to decrease the negative effects of nanoparticles produced by chemical synthesis. We lack the requisite toxicological and ecological expertise to accurately evaluate nanotechnologies and nanoparticle-containing substances. Each nanotechnology application should be evaluated separately, in our opinion. Positive and negative lists appear to be an efficient way to regulate the use of nanotechnology in organic agriculture. The current review addresses the green synthesis of essential organic farming elements such as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and nano-growth promoters, as well as their transportation methods, advantages, and disadvantages in organic farming. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

The Buruli Ulcer
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2015) Satendra Kumar; Somprakas Basu; Satyanam Kumar Bhartiya; Vijay Kumar Shukla
Buruli ulcer (BU) is caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans and can manifest as a simple nodule or as aggressive skin ulcers leading to debilitating osteoarthritis or limb deformity. The disease is more prevalent in those living in remote rural areas, especially in children younger than 15 years. The exact mode of transmission is possibly through traumatic skin lesions contaminated by M ulcerans. IS2404 polymerase chain reaction from ulcer swabs or biopsies is a rapid method for confirmation of BU. In coendemic countries, HIV infection complicates the progression of BU, leading to rapidly spreading osteomyelitis. Treatment is principally medical, with antitubercular drugs, and surgery is utilized for complicated disease. Because of ineffective vaccination, primary prevention is the best option for control of the disease. © SAGE Publications.
The laparoscopic re-exploration in the management of the gallbladder remnant and the cystic duct stump calculi
(Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016) Sanjay Kumar Saroj; Satendra Kumar; Yusuf Afaque; Abhishek Bhartia; Vishnu Kumar Bhartia
Introduction: The gallbladder remnant and the cystic duct stump calculi are uncommon causes of post-cholecystectomy syndrome. Re-exploration usually needed in the cases where symptom persists. Very few case series and reports are available regarding laparoscopic re-exploration. Aim: To assess the safety and feasibility of Laparoscopic reexploration in the cases of gallbladder remnant and cystic duct stump calculi leading to post cholecystectomy syndromes. Materials and Methods: In this study, laparoscopic reexplorations was done in 22 patients in which 17 patients had gallbladder remnant calculi and 5 had cystic duct stump calculi. The study considered parameters the operative time, conversion rate, post-operative complications, post-operative hospital stay and mortality in these patients. The duration of study was 15 years and the data was retrospectively reviewed. Results: The median operating time was 83 minutes (range 51 to 134 minutes). Only one patient had conversion to open surgery. In postoperative period two patients had bile leak. They were managed conservatively and leak subsided in 8 and 11 days respectively. One patient had postoperative bleeding not requiring blood transfusion. There was no major complication requiring further intervention and no mortality. Patients were discharged on median day 4 (range 2-11) after the surgery. Patients were followed up every 3 months for one year. However, out of these three patients did not turn up for follow-up. Conclusion: In expert hands laparoscopic re-exploration of the gallbladder remnant/cystic duct stump calculi can be performed within a reasonable operating time. The conversion to conventional re–exploration rate was very low with minimal post-operative complications and shorter hospital stay. © 2016, Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research.

Transmural invasion of hepatic flexure of colon causing cholecystocolic fistula by aggressive gallbladder carcinoma
(2013) Amit Nandan D. Dwivedi; Satendra Kumar; Samir Rana; BabuNandan Maurya
Spontaneous enterobiliary fistulae are a complication of biliary disease or a disease of adjacent structures. Cholecystocolic fistulae are rare in relation to gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Previous reports have presented images showing subtle findings suggestive of cholecystocolic fistula. We report the unusual spread and rare images of a case of cholecystocolicfistula,to highlight the aggressive nature of GBC and findings of gross transmural invasion of the colonic wall. The images acquired in all three planes define the anatomical and pathological extent conclusively. There are a higher number of GBC cases across the geographic belt of North India compared to the West. In this case, the patient's pathology was extensive and unresectable, and therefore palliative and supportive care wasadvised. © 2013 Dwivedi et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
