The Prevalence of Clinically Significant Endoscopic Findings in Outpatients with Dyspepsia

Background: Dyspepsia is a common clinical problem. More patients with dyspepsia have no detectable lesion. Organic causes of dyspepsia only detected by endoscopy if suspected by age or alarm features. Aim of Study: To evaluate the prevalence of significant endoscopic findings and use alarm features and the age in outpatients with dyspepsia in predicting the presence of Significant Endoscopic Findings (SEFS). Patients and Methods: This is cross-sectional observational study was carried out in Tanta University Hospitals Internal Medicine Department on one hundred Egyptian outpatients with dyspepsia in the period from July 2017 to January 2018. All patients enrolled in this study were subjected to upper gastro intestinal endoscopy, and histopathological examination to suspected cases only. Results: Our study showed that the prevalence of SEFS in dyspepsia patients was 25%, mostly found in patients who were old age and or had alarm features. The most common endoscopic abnormality was non erosive gastritis (73.2% n 37), followed by small HH (70.9% n 35), class A esophagitis represent (16.8% n 8), gastric ulcer disease was found in (17% n 11), Malignancy was found in only (6.4% n 3), erosive esophagitis was found in (6.4% n 3), sever gastritis was found in (12.8% n 6) and sever doudonitis in (4.3% n 2). Conclusion: The study showed the low prevalence of SEFs, and no need for endoscopy in young patients with no alarm features and they can be managed by non-endoscopic approach. However, it is highly recommended in all patients represented with alarming symptoms.
EFFECT OF SOME NATURAL MATERIALS ON PEA PLANT GROWN ON CALCAREOUS SOIL

A pot experiment was conducted at the Agric. Exp. Station of El-Mansoura Univ. during the winter season of (2013/ 2014); to investigate the effect of some amendments on calcareous soil using sugar peas (Pisum sativum var . macrocarpon) variety of "mangetout"" ,type (Snow wind). Thirteen treatments were arranged in a complete block design, which were the simple possible combination between four treatments of soil amendments application (Magnetite (100, 200 and 300 kg fed -1 ), Sulphur (200, 300 and 400 kg.fed 1 ), Humic acid (5, 7 and 9 kg fed -1 ) and Fulvic acid (2, 3 and 4 kg fed -1 )) compared with control treatment. Each treatment was replicated three times. The highest mean values of pea plants as fresh, dry weight (g), plant height (cm) and No. of leaves plant -1 also NPK% and its uptake mg plant -1 in plant foliage, N, P, K% and its uptake g plant -1 , Fe ppm in pea seeds were significantly affected after 50 and 90 days during the season and obtained with using magnetite as material amendment at the rate of 300 kg fed -1 followed by using soil humic acid at the rate of 9 kg fed -1 compared with the other treatments. The same results were obtained with yield parameters (weight of 1000 seeds (g), fresh pods weight (g), fresh pods length and pea yield (g plant) -1 and seed quality (Total carbohydrates, Total sugar % and V.C (mg 100g) -1 which recorded the highest values with adding magnetite at the rate of 300 kg fed -1 . In plant foliage, the highest values of Fe ppm was recorded with using magnetite as a source of iron at the rate of during both stages followed by using humic acid. As for Zn and Mn ppm recorded, the highest mean values with using fulvic acid at the low rate 2kg fed -1 comparing the all parameters with the control which recorded the lowest mean values of Fe, Zn and Mn ppm of plant foliage after. This trend was observed during both stages after 50 and 90 days.
Current therapeutic strategies for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: results of an online survey

Background: The treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) symptoms poses significant challenges. Purpose: To enumerate current clinical treatment strategies for ME/CFS. Methods: A survey was deployed via the Internet to eleven expert clinicians in ME/CFS. The experts rated medications for 18 symptoms and listed symptom groups that they considered as interrelated and representative of different ME/CFS phenotypes. Respondents rated drug efficacy on an ordinal scale (1 = very effective to 5 = not effective). Free text was also permitted to comment on treatment strategies and ME/CFS phenotypes. Results: Data were available for 11/20 respondents. Citalopram was reported to be more than moderately effective for depression/anxiety and similarly fentanyl for muscle aches and arthralgias. Low-dose stimulants and low-dose bupriopion were viewed as effective for fatigue by five respondents. Regarding ME/CFS phenotypes, respondents suggested that (a) sleep improvement can ameliorate post-exertional malaise, pain and headache, (b) treatment of orthostatic intolerance can improve fatigue, light headedness, mental fog, headache and pain, while (c) epigastric pain, reflux, and early satiety may suggest nutritional hypersensitivity. Conclusion: The views of ME/CFS experts regarding treatment strategies and drug efficacy can aid clinicians in the optimization of their practices, and perhaps can steer ME/CFS research in directions that hold promise.
Ethnomedicinal study of plants in Hathazari, Chittagong, Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT An ethnomedicinal survey of the rural community, mainly Chakma from Hathazari, Bangladesh, was conducted from May 2010 to January 2013. The methods used for ethnomedicinal data collection were field interviews, plant interview and group interview techniques. Local (Bangla) names, habit, parts used, mode of preparation and medicinal uses of plants were recorded by interviewing the locals of different age groups (mostly between 25 to 75 years) and also herbal practitioners (Kabiraj). A total of 75 plant species consisting of 67 genera categorised under 44 families were documented for the treatment of 35 ailments. Among the total documented species were herbs (41%), shrubs (19%), trees (28%) and climbers (12%). The most encountered medicinal plant families are Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Rutaceae, Solanaceae, Liliaceae, Malvaceae, Combretaceae and Amaranthaceae. Analysis of the parts used showed that leaves are mostly used in majority of medicinal plants, followed by roots, fruit, stems, bark, rhizome, flowers, bulbs, seeds, thorns and latex. The most common preparations include juice, paste and extract. The present investigation was the first attempt undertaken in Hathazari to document the traditional uses of plants for the treatment of different ailments. This study also recorded new ethnomedicinal information. It can be concluded that data collected in the present study will be useful for any future ethno-pharmacological research for the discovery of new drugs.
Detecting SQL InjectionAttacks in VoIP using Real-timeDeep Packet Inspection

The use of the Internet has increased over the years, and it is now an integral part of our daily activities, as we often use it for everything from interacting on social media to watching videos online. Phone calls nowadays tend to use Voice over IP (VoIP), rather than the traditional phone networks. As with any other services using the Internet, these calls are vulnerable to attacks. This thesis focus on one particular attack: SQL injection in the Session Initial Protocol (SIP), where SIP is a popular protocol used within VoIP. To find different types of SQL injection, two classifiers are implemented to either classify SIP packets as "valid data" or "SQL injection". The first classifier uses regex to find SQL metacharacters in headers of interest. The second classifier uses naive Bayes with a training data set to classify. These two classifiers are then compared in terms of classification throughput, speed, and accuracy. To evaluate the performance impact of packet sizes and to better understand the classifiers resiliance against an attacker introducing large packets, a test with increasing packet sizes is also presented. The regex classifier is then implemented in a Deep Package Inspection (DPI) open-source implementation, nDPI, before being evaluated with regards to both throughput and accuracy. The result are in favor of the regex classifier as it had better accuracy and higher classification throughput. Yet, the naive Bayes classifier works better for new types of SQL injection that we do not know. It therefore argues that the best choice depends on the scenario; both classifiers have their strengths and weakness!
Interaction of Dislocations and Interfaces in Crystalline Heterostructures: A Review of Atomistic Studies

Interfaces in heterostructures of crystalline materials could strongly affect the slip of dislocations. Such interfaces have become one of the most popular methods to tailor material strength and ductility. This review focuses on the interaction of dislocations and interfaces in heterostructures, in which at least one component is metallic, as investigated by molecular dynamics, in order to systematically summarize our understanding about how dislocations interact with the interfaces. All the possible heterostructures of metallic materials are covered, such as twin boundaries, grain boundaries, bi-metal interfaces and metal/non-metal interfaces. Dislocations may either penetrate the interfaces by inducing steps into the interfaces or dissociate within the interfaces, depending on the type and orientation of the interface as well as the applied strain. Related dislocation interactions at the interface are also presented. In addition, we also discuss the effect of dislocation types, of applied strain and of the deformation method on the interaction of dislocations and interfaces.
THE MATCHING FAMILIAR FIGURES TEST AS A MEASURE OF REFLECTION-IMPULSIVITY1

The performances of 100 4-year olds on the Matching Familiar Figures Test were analyzed in terms of decision time and decision accuracy. The subjects were divided into four groups: (1) the fast/inaccurates, (2) the slow/accurates, (3) the slow inaccurates, and (4) the fast/accurates. Assessment of individual personality characteristics showed that fast/inaccurate children, rather than being impulsive, were comparatively anxious, hypersensitive, vulnerable, and structure-seeking. Research on reflection and impulsivity is discussed as well as the general implications of the present study.

SOME 74ISGIVINGS ABOUT THE MATCHING FAMILIAR FIGURES TEST AS A MEASURE OF REFLECTION-IMPULSIVITY1 Jack Block, Jeanne H. Block, and David M. Harrington University of California, Berkeley Abstradt In recent years the dimension of "reflection-impulsivity" (R-I), has attracted appreciable interest as an important way of conceptualizing individual differences in children. R-I has been posited as underlying decision time under conditions of response uncertainty and the Matching Familiar Figures test (MFF), a match-to-standard task, has been employed as the primary medium for operationalizing this dimension. We suggest there is a fundamental discrepancy between the way in which R-I has been conceptualized (in terms of decision time) and the way in which it has been indexed in practice (giving large and unspecified weight to decision accuracy as well as decision time). This discrepancy permits results based upon MFF performance to be viewed in terms different from R-I. A review of the literature finds little or no clear behavioral evidence for the R-I interpretation of MFF performance. Our own analysis of MFF performance in a sample of 100 four-year-olds, wherein the separate contributions of decision time and decision accuracy could be evaluated, indicated that decision accuracy had important personality concomitants but decision time was personologically inconsequential. Fast/Inaccurate children, when directly and independently assessed, were found to be comparatively anxious, hypersensitive, vulnerable, structure-seeking
Facile fabrication of Ag3PO4/chitosan membrane composite with visible light photocatalytic performance

In this work, Ag3PO4/chitosan membrane composites were prepared by a facile method of in-situ synthesis. The structure and properties of the obtained Ag3PO4/chitosan membrane composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photo electron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection absorptive spectra. Photo catalytic properties were investigated via degradation of a methyl orange solution under visible light irradiation. Decolorization results indicated that the decolorization efficiency of Ag3PO4/chitosan membrane composites were better than that of pure Ag3PO4 particles. The impacts of different concentrations of AgNO3 solutions (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mol/L) in the experimental process were discussed. At concentrations of 0.2 mol/L, the composite exhibited much higher photo catalytic activity performance under visible light irradiation.
Occurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection in critical care units

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection. The etiological agents of which may be varied. Advancing age, debilitation, diabetes mellitus, duration of catheterization are the risk factors. Complications include prostatitis, epididymitis, cystitis, pyelonephritis and septicemia in high-risk patients, adding to hospitalization and morbidity. With this background the present study was undertaken Objectives: (1) To identify microbial pathogens associated with urinary tract infection (UTI) in catheterized patients from Intensive Care Units (ICU) (2) to determine the susceptibility pattern of these isolates to antimicrobial agents (3) to determine the effect of days of catheterization and UTI. Materials and Methods: Consecutive urine samples of 345 catheterized patients admitted in ICUs were included in the study. They were processed by standard microbiological procedures. Isolated organisms were speciated, and antibiotic susceptibility performed as per standard guidelines. Results: From the 345 urine samples of catheterized patients, 205 showed no growth and were found to be sterile. Bacterial growth was seen in 69 patients and fungal growth in 50 patients. Among the bacterial isolates, Escherichia coli were isolated in 39, followed by Klebsiella spp. 14. The other isolates included Pseudomonas spp. , Group D streptococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . In the fungal isolates, Candida glabrata was the most common isolate. High resistance was seen among Klebsiella isolates (nalidixic acid-86% and cefotaxime-86%). Conclusion: Development of CAUTI is common in critically ill patients. Emphasis should be placed on good catheter management and reducing the duration of catheterization rather than prophylaxis in order to reduce the incidence of catheter-related UTI. Culture and susceptibility testing play a vital role in the management if UTI occurs.
MVSCRF: Learning Multi-View Stereo With Conditional Random Fields

We present a deep-learning architecture for multi-view stereo with conditional random fields (MVSCRF). Given an arbitrary number of input images, we first use a U-shape neural network to extract deep features incorporating both global and local information, and then build a 3D cost volume for the reference camera. Unlike previous learning based methods, we explicitly constraint the smoothness of depth maps by using conditional random fields (CRFs) after the stage of cost volume regularization. The CRFs module is implemented as recurrent neural networks so that the whole pipeline can be trained end-to-end. Our results show that the proposed pipeline outperforms previous state-of-the-arts on large-scale DTU dataset. We also achieve comparable results with state-of-the-art learning based methods on outdoor Tanks and Temples dataset without fine-tuning, which demonstrates our method’s generalization ability.
A Comparison of Lexical Richness in L2 Written Productions

Indeed research has shown that vocabulary acquisition is one of the chal-lenges of a language learner; even more so for productive vocabulary. Thus this study intends to investigate the lexical richness of 2 groups of EFL learners. This was done through a content analysis of 139 essays of entry-level university students and 140 essays of third-year university students studying at an English medium university. Both these groups of students scored at least a band 6 or 550 in TOEFL. Specifically, the objective of this study is to find out if there are differences in the lexical richness of these two groups of essays in the type-token ratio. This study also intends to find out if there are differences between the two different groups of essays in the use of the 1,000, 2,000, word levels, the AWL as well as the use of the words not-in-the-list. The RANGE programme developed by Nation, Heat-ley & Coxhead (2002) was used to carry out the above procedure. Findings of the study showed that the two groups of essays show a statistically significant difference in the use of the 1,000, 2,000, word levels and the AWL by the two groups of learners. There was also a difference in the not-in-the-list category. This research has pedagogical implications for the teaching of vocabulary in the language classroom with a specific focus on the development of lexical richness in EFL learners’ written production.

Transthoracic echocardiography compared with coronary angiography for patients with cardiogenic shock: A prospective cohort study

Cardiogenic shock is the most severe form of acute heart failure. The aim of the current study was to investigate correlations between diagnostic parameters and the estimated ejection fraction in patients with cardiogenic shock. A total of 2,445 patients with acute myocardial infarction were subjected to coronary angiograms and standard 2D transthoracic echocardiography. Information for culprit vessel(s) and mitral regurgitation were collected. The Spearman's correlation test was used to assess the correlation between diagnostic parameters and estimated ejection fractions at a 95% confidence level. The angiographically-derived numbers of culprit vessels had a significant correlation with mitral regurgitation (r=0.907; P=0.034). The echocardiographically-derived mitral regurgitation was significantly correlated with the numbers of culprit vessels (r=0.896; P=0.04). Positive correlation was established between angiographically- and echocardiographically-measured left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.356; P=0.045). The numbers of culprit vessels (P=0.058) and mitral regurgitation (r=0.99; P=0.001) were similar for angiography and echocardiography. Echocardiography- and angiography-derived results were correlated with the estimated ejection fractions of patients with cardiogenic shock. However, there is a substantial difference in the procedures of the two operational techniques.
