Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a very rare genetic disorder comprised of three recognised types, all characterised by short, deformed fingers with cone-shaped epiphyses (CSE) visible on radiographs. TRPS type I is the most common subtype. We report the case of a girl in her mid-teens who presented with the characteristic clinical and radiological features of TRPS type I. The diagnosis was confirmed by whole-exome sequencing, which identified a novel heterozygous variant in the TRPS1 gene. This case highlights a structured diagnostic approach to CSE and may further expand the mutational spectrum of TRPS type I.

For NRIs, owning property in India can be a valuable long-term investment. But managing a property from another country involves more than taking care of the building or collecting rent.

As tropical storm systems are dynamic and complicated, estimating cyclone intensity is still a major challenge in meteorology. Satellite infrared imagery encompasses many factors that are difficult to characterize with traditional forecasting models, particularly the long-term dependencies and structural variations that occur quickly. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper proposes a novel model which combines a Dynamic Temporal Decay Attention Mechanism (DTDAM) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs). The DTDAM is designed as a dual-stage attention mechanism comprising two stages, namely context-aware attention and adaptive memory-based attention, which is modulated by an exponential temporal weight decay factor, $$\:{\gamma\:}_{t}={e}^{-\alpha\:(T-t)}$$ that gives more importance to the more recent thermal signatures to effectively filter out the noise from distal atmospheric sources. An INSAT-3D infrared cyclone dataset covering cyclonic activity from 2012 to 2021 was used to evaluate the framework. The proposed DTDAM-RNN achieved an MAE of 1.15 knots, an RMSE of 1.62 knots, and an $$\:{R}^{2}$$ score of 0.99 on the held-out image-level test partition. The model outperformed the evaluated baseline architectures, including standard sequential models, Bahdanau attention, and Transformer-based models. These findings demonstrate the potential of DTDAM-RNN for infrared-based cyclone intensity estimation, although independent cyclone-event-level validation remains necessary before operational deployment.
