Gender dysphoria is defined as a conflict between the biological gender and the gender with which the person identifies. Gender reassignment therapy can alter external sexual features to ...resemble those of the desired gender and are broadly classified into two types, female to male (FTM) and male to female (MTF). In this paper we describe expected findings and complications of gender reassignment therapy.

Results
Gender dysphoria is defined as a conflict between the biological gender and the gender with which the person identifies. Gender reassignment therapy can alter external sexual features to resemble those of the desired gender and are broadly classified into two types, female to male (FTM) and male to female (MTF). These therapies include hormonal treatment as well as surgical procedures. FTM genital reconstructive therapy includes creation of a neophallus, which can be achieved by metoidioplasty or phalloplasty with mastectomy, along with testosterone administration. MTF gender reassignment surgery includes complete removal of external genitalia with penectomy and orchiectomy, with vaginoplasty, clitoroplasty, labiaplasty, and breast augmentation along with estrogen supplements.
Conclusion
Surgical techniques alter the standard anatomy and make imaging interpretation challenging if radiologists are unfamiliar with expected post-operative appearances. It is important to recognize the complications related to surgical and non-surgical treatment of gender dysphoria to avoid interpretation errors. Furthermore, increasing the prevalence of transgender patients requires increased sensitivity when interpreting imaging studies to reduce the potential for misdiagnoses in reporting due to frequently incomplete available clinical history.
This study assessed the impact of improved green fodder production activities on technical efficiency (TE) of dairy farmers in climate vulnerable landscapes of central India. We estimated stochastic ...production frontiers, considering potential self-selection bias stemming from both observable and unobservable factors in adoption of fodder interventions at farm level. The empirical results show that TE for treated group ranges from 0.55 to 0.59 and that for control ranges from 0.41 to 0.48, depending on how biases are controlled. Additionally, the efficiency levels of both adopters and non-adopters would be underestimated if the selectivity bias is not appropriately accounted. As the average TE is consistently higher for adopter farmers than the control group, promoting improved fodder cultivation would increase input use efficiency, especially in resource-deprived small holder dairy farmers in the semi-arid tropics.
Evidence regarding the spectrum of post-COVID-19 illness and management is evolving and will continue to develop in years to come. Recent suggested definitions have described post-acute COVID-19 as ...illness extending beyond three weeks from initial symptoms and chronic COVID-19 as illness extending beyond 12 weeks from initial symptoms. The incidence of post-COVID-19 squeal in those who have tested positive and who have been managed in an outpatient setting (such as management in the home. The incidence of prolonged illness significantly increases with age, comorbidities and severity of the acute illness.
To assess the level of knowledge regarding post COVID complications among adults in the state of Maharashtra. 2) To associate the level of knowledge regarding post COVID complications among adults with selected demographic variables.
The study was conducted in different region of Maharashtra. Quantitative research approach was used in this study. Non experimental descriptive survey design was used in this study. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to collect 100 sample.
majority of the samples i.e. 51 % of them were having very good level of knowledge score, 21 % of them had good level of knowledge score, 16 % of them had Excellent level of knowledge score and 11% had average level of knowledge score, only 1 % had poor level of knowledge score respectively. The minimum score was found to be 1 and the maximum score was 51. The mean score was 16.32 and SD was 4.23.
after detailed analysis, it was found that there is significant association of level of knowledge score in relation to their Age, Occupation, Knowledge about post COVID complications among adults in the state of Maharashtra.

Protection of an induction motor (IM) against possible problems, such as over voltage, over current, overload, over temperature, and under-voltage, occurring during its operation is very important, ...because it is used intensively in industry as an actuator. IMs can be protected using some components, such as timers, contactors, voltage, and current relays. This method is known as the classical method that is very basic and involves mechanical dynamic parts. Computer and programmable integrated circuit (PIC) based protection methods have eliminated most of the mechanical components. However, the computer-based protection method requires an analog to digital conversion (ADC) card, and the PIC-based protection method does not visualize the electrical parametersmeasured. In this study, for IMs, a new protection method based on a programmable logic controller (PLC) has been introduced. In this method, all contactors, timers, relays, and the conversion card are eliminated. Moreover, the voltages, the currents, the speed, and the temperature values of the motor, and the problems occurring in the system, are monitored and warning indicators are shown using colored LED’s. Experimental results show that the PLC-based protection method costs less, provides higher accuracy as well as a safe and visual environment compared with the classical, the computer, and the PIC-based protection systems.
