Dynamics of differential count in dengue

Background: Dengue can occur as epidemics in India. Early diagnosis reduces mortality. Differential white cell count can aid in diagnosing and prognosticating Dengue in resource limited areas. Aim and objectives of this study were to assess patterns and utility of Differential counts in Dengue. Methods: A total of 132 serologically positive Dengue cases were analysed over the month of November 2016. Hematology data obtained from analysers and Leishman smears were tabulated and analysed. Results: The study showed lymphocytosis as the predominant pattern (65%) followed by neutropenia (30%), neutrophilia (11%), eosinophilia (5%), monocytosis (5%) and basophilia (4%). Atypical lymphocytosis ≥ 15% were noted in 65% of the cases with 83% showing Plasmacytoid lymphocytes, 8% apoptotic lymphocytes and 43% showed other atypical lymphocytes. Also, 52% of lymphocytosis and 33% of neutrophilia cases showed severe thrombocytopenia (≤ 0.5 lakhs per cu mm). Lymphocytosis was noted to be an early event but was established in later stages as seen with serology pattern association, 28% associated with NS1 antigen test (non-structural protein 1) and 42% with antibody pattern. However, neutrophilia with 60% of cases seen in antibody pattern was a late event. Plasmacytoid lymphocytosis was noted uniformly through all serology patterns in contrast with other atypical lymphocytosis which was seen mostly (48%) in antibody pattern. Apoptotic lymphocytosis was also a late event associated mainly with antibody pattern (55%). Conclusions: The Differential white cell count can be a useful supplementary test along with serology in resource limited peripheral areas. It additionally serves to drastically reduce morbidity and mortality.
Relationship of body fatty mass with lipid status in obese working population

INTRODUCTION: Obesity can be defined as an excessive accumulation of health threatening body fat, caused by positive energetic balance. It can be classified according to body mass index as normal body mass, excessive body mass, significant obesity and extreme obesity. According to WHR (waist-hip ratio), it can be classified to android and gynoid type depending on fat tissue distribution. Android type has greater frequency of cardiovascular and metabolic complications, as is occurrence of premature atherosclerosis. As metabolic complications we consider lipid status disorders in obese workers, and these complications are related to body composition. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among 331 workers, we separated 95 persons with BMI > 30 kg/m2. This group was classified according to gender, their body composition has been measured using bioelectrical impedance method and, subsequently, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL levels were determined, searching for relationship of body composition with lipid status fractions p < 0.05. RESULTS: High body fatty was found in 33.03% of male and in 37.48% of female subjects. It was found that in male subjects cholesterol levels (6.70 mml/L), triglycerides (2.56 mml/L), limit values of LDL (3.93 mml/L) and limit values of HDL (1.16 mml/L) were highly risky. Positive insignificant relationship of body fatty mass with cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, but not with HDL was found. DISCUSSION: Results point to highly risky limit values of lipid parameters in male and female subjects. These values can be explained by older age of subjects, their way of life and nutrition regimen, significant comorbidity in this group, and influence on working ability. CONCLUSION: It was found that obese male and female subjects have high values of body fatty mass. Male subjects have highly risky levels of lipid status fractions, while in female subjects these are limit values. Insignificant positive corelation of body fatty mass with lipid status fractions in tested population was found. The obtained results are significant regarding morbidity expectation and studies of complications of obese working population, as well as in judgment of working ability.
Treatment of Schizophrenia: A Comparative Study of Five Treatment Methods.

This ambitious study presents the findings of a ten-year collaborative effort by the author and his co-workers to evaluate the effectiveness of five commonly used modalities of treatment for hospitalized patients suffering from schizophrenic disorders. A total of 228 patients, in what the author terms the middle third prognostic range, were treated either by ataractic drugs, psychotherapy, ECT, milieu, or a combination of drugs and psychotherapy at the Camarillo State Hospital in California, in an effort to evaluate these modalities. Criteria used in evaluating patient status included length of hospital stay, release rate, numerous clinical rating scales applied by nurses, psychotherapists, and an independent team of psychoanalysts, as well as a variety of psychological tests. The statistics of these results are presented liberally throughout the text and an honest effort to discuss various pitfalls of evaluation is made. The author's basically practical orientation as a hospital administrator is reflected by
Antenatal Care Utilization and ItÃ¢ÂÂs Associated Factors in East Wollega Zone, Ethiopia

Background: Antenatal care, is one of the most effective health interventions that can play a significant role in preventing maternal morbidity and mortality especially in under developed world. Information regarding its utilization is crucial to encourage mothers to get Antenatal care and institutional delivery service. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out from October to November 2013 in East Wollega Zone of Oromia Regional State. Women aged 15-49 who gave birth in the 12 months prior to the beginning of the study in the selected kebeles/clusters were included in the study. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of each independent variable on ANC use. Results: Among the 770 women included in the study, 443 (57.5%) had at least one antenatal visit. Out of whom 58 (13.1%) had only one, 141 (31.8%) had two antenatal contacts 178 (40.2 %) had three visits, and only 66 (14.9%) had the recommended four or more antenatal visits. Among the potential determinants explored, having taken health education on maternal health [Adjusted OR (aOR)=5.5; 95% CI (3.2, 9.5)]; being above grade eight [aOR=2,8; 95% CI (1.4, 5.5)], grade one to four [aOR=2.3; 95% CI (1.5, 3.5)], grade five to eight [aOR =2.1; 95% CI (1.2, 3.6)]; being husband’s occupation “other than farming” [aOR=1.8; 95% CI (1.2, 2.9)]; and perceived walking time to the nearest health facility being <30 min [aOR=1.7; 95% CI (1.1, 2.5)] were the factors that encourage pregnant mothers to use ANC. Conclusion: This study has witnessed that there was low utilization of ANC services in the study area when compared to the recommended four visits during pregnancy. Hence, health education programs intended to enhance community use of ANC service should be strengthened.
Investigating the influence of individually espoused cultural values on teachers’ intentions to use educational technologies in Chinese universities

ABSTRACT This study used the technology acceptance model to examine the influence of individually espoused cultural values on teachers’ intentions to use technology in Chinese universities. To address the limitations of model parsimony, the lack of studies in developing countries and the cultural biases in the technology acceptance literature, this study was conducted in a developing country – China. It extended the constructs of subjective norms and facilitating conditions into the technology acceptance model and investigated the influence of individually espoused cultural values on technology acceptance. The four cultural value dimensions, including masculinity versus femininity, individualism versus collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term versus short-term orientation, were measured at the individual level, as technology acceptance was considered an individual concern. To test the hypothesised model, data from 502 teachers in Chinese universities were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results revealed that technology acceptance model was a valid framework for explaining Chinese teachers’ technology acceptance. Perceived usefulness, subjective norms, attitudes towards use and culture were all significant determinants of behavioural intentions, with attitudes towards use having the largest effect. This study demonstrated the significant influence of subjective norms on perceived usefulness. Specifically, it showed that they facilitated the influence of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on attitudes toward use.

Mashing-up wikis and forums: a case study of collaborative problem-based activity

A lot of studies have investigated the isolated use of threaded discussion and wiki technologies to facilitate collaboration in online learning settings. Nevertheless, the integration of both technologies into a potentially superior collaborative learning tool has not been explicitly investigated. This manuscript reports on an effort to undertake the merging and cooperation of wiki and threaded discussion technologies into a more sophisticated technology that better supports collaboration during problem-based activity in computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) settings. Two customized collaboration technologies were investigated for their affordances to support students’ cognitive processes and interactions during the construction of a group solution to an authentic problem. We found that one technology – WikiSplit – was particularly successful in promoting diversity of ideas (forum mode) while allowing learners to periodically update a group-owned document with syntheses of their emerging and shared understandings (wiki mode). We discuss how the integrated use of both a forum and a wiki, packaged together as one tool, can support and mediate desirable CSCL interactions during problem-based activity.
Sleep-Wake Cycle in Cluster Headache Patients

We aimed to study sleep-wake cycle in cluster headache patients using EEG monitoring. Twenty-four patients were observed: 21 male, three female, admitted into our Institute during 1981-90. Their ages when they were observed ranged from 22 to 60 years (40% years on the average). In diagnosing we were guided by the Classification of head and facial aches (I). Out of these we had 20 cases of episodic cluster headache, 4chronic cluster headache nonremitting from onset. Polygraphic investigation was carried out by means of 24-hour cassette monitoring of the brain's bioelectrical activity. Somnograms were analyzed by Sleep Stager system. The results of the investigation showed that the daily EEG was at norm. The analysis of the somnogram revealed that the onset of nocturnal attacks is closely related to the REM stage of sleep and this is in concordance with the data of other authors (2,3). At the same time the duration of the REM stage of sleep in these patients differs from the control group. The percentage REM stage is increased in these patients (it is 28.9% on an average). We have also observed that the percentage ofthe NREM stage 1-2 increases up to 49.6% on an average where as a decrease (21.5% on an average) of the NREM stage 3-4 occurs.

HIV/AIDS treatment in two Ghanaian hospitals : experiences of patients, nurses and doctors

This thesis is based on fifteen months of anthropological research in the voluntary counselling and testing centres and antiretroviral therapy clinics of two hospitals in Ghana, St. Patrick's Hospital at Maase-Offinso and Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, including in-depth conversations with people living with HIV/AIDS, nurses and doctors. It shows that the persistent stigma around HIV/AIDS has a profound negative impact on people with HIV/AIDS and on their use of counselling, testing and treatment services. Many prefer absolute secrecy or even death to the shame and social exclusion that may follow if their condition is revealed. However, the study also demonstrates that the provision of high quality services can lead to an increased uptake of services. The thesis describes the complexities involved in the care and treatment of HIV/AIDS. The author advocates that treating clients well during interactions in the centres and clinics is crucial for the increasing use of these services by both clients and other people. It can be the first step to reducing the perceived stigma associated with the use of services in the hospital setting. [ASC Leiden abstract].
Enhancing the use of online 3d multimedia content through the analysis of user interactions. (Amélioration de l'utilisation de contenus multimédia 3D en ligne par l'analyse des interactions d'utilisateurs)

Recent years have seen the development of interactive 3D graphics on the Web. The ability to visualize and manipulate 3D content in real time seems to be the next evolution of the Web for a wide number of application areas such as e-commerce, education and training, architecture design, virtual museums and virtual communities. The use of online 3D graphics in these application domains does not mean to substitute traditional web content of texts, images and videos, but rather acts as a complement for it. The Web is now a platform where hypertext, hypermedia, and 3D graphics are simultaneously available to users. This use of online 3D graphics, however, poses two main issues. First, since 3D interactions are cumbersome as they provide numerous degrees of freedom, 3D browsing may be inefficient. We tackle this problem by proposing a new paradigm based on crowdsourcing to ease online 3D interactions, that consists of analyzing 3D user interactions to identify Regions of Interest (ROIs), and generating recommendations to subsequent users. The recommendations both reduce 3D browsing time and simplify 3D interactions. Second, 3D graphics contain purely rich visual information of the concepts. On the other hand, traditional websites mainly contain descriptive information (text) with hyperlinks as navigation means. The problem is that viewing and interacting with the websites that use two very different mediums (hypertext and 3D graphics) may be complicated for users. To address this issue, we propose to use crowdsourcing for building semantic associations between texts and 3D visualizations. The produced links are suggested to upcoming users so that they can readily locate 3D visualization associated with a textual content. We evaluate the proposed methods with experimental user studies. The evaluations show that the recommendations reduce 3D interaction time. Moreover, the results from the user study showed that our proposed semantic association is appreciated by users, that is, a majority of users assess that recommendations were helpful for them, and browsing 3D objects using both mouse interactions and the proposed links is preferred compared to having only mouse interactions.

Effects Comparison between English and Chinese Speakers in Learning Japanese Role Words with Comic Scenes

The role word is one of the expressions for letting people imagine one’s character. It is difficult for people to learn the role words from conversation examples written in textbooks of foreign language because few examples are shown to learn the role words on the textbooks. Comic scenes have the examples of conversation in their line texts of character’s speech. We have proposed a support system for learning Japanese role words with comic scenes. The system classifies comic scenes according to a role word included in the scenes. System users can learn how to use role words by watching comic scenes and lines. We have verified the efficiency of the system for Chinese speakers whose language culture is similar with Japanese language culture; both of them use Kanji in writing. The good results might be caused by the similarity of language culture. In this paper, we report results of an experiment with English speakers. The results of English speakers were compared with those of Chinese speakers. We verified that the system can support English speakers to learn Japanese role words. We also discuss improvements of our system by referring comments from English speakers. They said that the system should enables the users to learn the role words in enjoying comic stories.
Circulating LTB4 and Eotaxin-1 in stable asthmatics on inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β 2-agonists

BACKGROUND : Leukotrienes B4 (LTB4) and eotaxin-1 are thought to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of asthma. This study investigates the plasma levels of LTB4 and eotaxin-1 in symptom-free asthmatics on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting β2 (LABA) . MATERIALS AND METHODS : Twenty asthmatic patients treated with ICS and LABA for 3 months and 17 matched healthy subjects were recruited. LTB4 and eotaxin-1 were measured in the serum by a specific enzyme immunoassay kit. RESULTS : Treatment resulted in significant improvement in FEV1 and disappearance of symptoms. LTB4 levels were significantly lower in the treated asthmatics compared to the healthy subjects (19.17 ± 0.8 pg/ml versus 23.34 ± 0.82 pg/ml respectively, P CONCLUSION : Asthmatics treated with ICS and LABA showed significantly lower levels of LTB4 compared to healthy subjects. Regular use of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2 may help in controlling the inflammatory process in asthma. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess the association between clinical and physiological parameters and circulating chemokines and cytokines.
