Spermatocytic Seminoma is an unusual germ cell tumour known to arise from testis only. It is associated with good prognosis. Testicular tumours as such are uncommon in Asia as compared to western countries. In the literature only five cases of bilateral synchronous Spermatocytic Seminoma have been reported. Fifty years male patient presented to us with bilateral scrotal swelling and evaluation revealed neoplastic aetiology of bilateral testicular enlargement. Left side radical orchidectomy was performed initially which histopathologically revealed spermatocytic seminoma. Subsequently right side radical orchidectomy was performed after intra-op frozen section confirmation of neoplastic nature. Histopathology revealed same pathology as on left side. Immunohistochemistry of specimen from both testes was again conclusive of spermatocytic seminoma. We hereby report this rare case of Bilateral Synchronous Spermatocytic Seminoma. This is the first case report from entire Asian continent except for Japan.

Abstract: The author exposes about the early detection of children''s mental suffering. This approach leaves a physical approach of the psychic construction, integrative, which let us think that the body is at the same moment the place of the emergence of the thought, but also very early the place of the expression of an archaic thought. Consequently, the premature psychic suffering stages at the physical level in the broad sense, bringing us to define fine clinical marks, to read in the context of the relational meeting and our own felt. The purpose is not to predict the constitution of a psychopathological organization, but to improve the orientation of the little one towards the specialists to prevent the impact of such an emotional experience in the harmful issues on their advent to the psychic life.

Abstract: The authors consider liaison psychiatry through the concept of binding in psychopathology. They study the notions of projective identification, pulsional dualism and counter transference analysis. This leads them to describe a three-parts psychic apparatus representation and to distinguish hysteria from hypochondria to which the syndrom of Münchausen by procur is related. Negative but also positive aspects of counter transference are evoked. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Al7075 alloy is the most commonly used by the aerospace industry. Al7075 alloy is characterized by its improved properties such as higher toughness, specific strength and hardness. The current work focuses on the preparation and characterization of age hardened Al7075-Grey cast iron composites. Two stage stir casting technique is used for the preparation of the composite. Age hardening treatment is imparted to enhance the mechanical characteristics. The variation of hardness and tensile strength with respect to aging temperature and percentage of reinforcement is analyzed. The composites exhibit higher hardness and tensile strength as the reinforcement percentage is increased at an aging temperature of 100°C.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is established as one of the prominent welding techniques to join aluminium matrix composites (AMCs). It is a solid state welding process, takes place well below the melting temperature of the material, eliminates the detrimental effects of conventional fusion welding process. Although the process is capable to join AMCs, challenges are still open that need to be fulfill to widen its applications. This paper gives the outline of the friction stir welding technique used to join AMCs. Effect of process variables on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints, behavior of reinforcing materials during welding, effect of tool profiles on the joint strength are discussed in detail. Few improvements and direction for future research are also proposed.

India being a developed country, massive house building construction is taking place in various parts of the country. Since 30% of the Indian population lives in towns and cities, the frequency of construction is more in urban places. There is an enormous need for housing, but there will never be enough houses available because current masonry construction technology cannot keep up with the annual rise in demand. Hence, one has to think of alternative construction systems like pre-engineered steel buildings. India has an installed steel capacity of 35 to 40 million tonnes & apparent steel consumption is around 27 to 30 million tonnes. There is a surplus capacity of flat steel products available in India particularly of hot and cold rolled sheets. These steel components can be utilized in the construction of pre-engineered building components. Pre-engineered steel buildings are one such alternative construction approach that needs to be considered. India appears to consume between 27 and 30 million tonnes of steel, compared to its installed capacity of 35 to 40 million tonnes. India has an excess capacity for flat steel goods, especially hot and cold rolled sheets. Pre-engineered building components can be constructed using these steel components. in terms of steel consumption and cost. In this paper, the detailed estimation of the PEB and CSB is done on Excel sheet and actual cost of the project with given dimensions is found out as a PEB structure and CSB structure.

Since the Industrial Revolution, deforestation, agricultural practices, and human emissions of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels are responsible to global warming and climate change. Higher temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, shifts in the frequency and distribution of meteorological events including droughts, storms, floods, and heat waves, sea level rise, and resulting effects on human and ecological systems are only a few of the observed and projected changes in the climate. One of the biggest environmental problems the world is now experiencing is climate change. The paper investigates how three important crops and farmer livelihoods in the State of Maharashtra are impacted by climate change. Due to climate change, farmers in Central and Eastern Maharashtra are already facing challenges. The research highlights the existing issues and potential hazards faced by farmers in the state based on an examination of climate data (combining historical climate data analysis and future estimates), farmer interviews, and secondary literature assessments. The study’s findings are meant to enable adaptation plans that would reduce farmer susceptibility to climate change in Pune district of Maharashtra. Determining which mitigation techniques farmers may use will depend on their understanding of the current situation and their awareness of the specific threats the future holds. Also this study’s objective was to discover how accessible soya been, and Crops of wheat were severely impacted by local weather patterns within each of its major development phases.

Abstract: Context: In optional teaching of doctor–patient relationship, a pedagogical interactive method inspired by Augusto Boal''s Forum-Theater was offered to students of the fourth or fifth years of medical studies. Objective: To help students to ask themselves about communication and behavior in triangular relationship. Method: Three specific situations of doctor–parents–child relationship were played by a theater group. Some students took part to experiment their interpretation of this clinical situation. Results: Eleven students out of 60 participated as actors. One evaluation carried out immediately after the teaching showed the interest of these pedagogical methods which allow to work the “savoir-faire” and the “savoir-être” of pedagogical triangle. Conclusion: Questions about communication and relationship can be taught in medical studies by using interactive pedagogical method. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The etiological hypotheses concerning childhood Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) alternate between neurobiological and psychodynamic factors. Yet the therapeutic project depends on the somatic or psychological interpretation favored by the therapist. The pediatricians and pediatric psychologists in Nantes thus wished to combine both aspects in a specialized joint neuropsychiatric approach. This article presents a retrospective analysis of these consultations over a period of four years, from the initial contact with the patient to the final orientation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
