Short-Term Outcome of Preterm Infants with Intraventricular Hemorrhage

Background: Intra-ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) remains a severe complication of very preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. IVH is strongly associated with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus and subsequent neurodevelopmental disabilities. Objectives: This study evaluated the short-term outcome of IVH in preterm infants concerning its occurrence time. Methods: This study enrolled preterm newborn infants with IVH visiting a teaching referral university hospital in the North West of Iran from September 2019 to October 2020. We followed 40 neonates with IVH and evaluated their neurodevelopment at 6 and 12 months. We defined delayed IVH as IVH detected the first time after the second week of life. The neurodevelopmental outcome was compared with respect to the time of IVH occurrence. Results: Forty cases of IVH were enrolled in this study, of whom 4 cases were excluded because of death before hospital discharge. The studied patients' mean gestation age and birth weight were 29.3 ± 2.3 weeks and 1361 ± 564 g, respectively. Intra-ventricular hemorrhage occurred in the first week of life in 31 neonates (86.1%) and delayed in 5 neonates (13.9%). The neurodevelopmental delay was detected at 6 months after birth in 14 infants (45.1%) with IVH in the first week of life and 2 (40%) cases with delayed IVH (P = 0.37). Neurodevelopmental delay was diagnosed at 12 months after birth in 8 infants (25.8%) with IVH in the first week of life and 1 infant (20%) with delayed IVH (P = 0.17). Conclusions: Intra-ventricular hemorrhage is an essential cause of neurodevelopmental delay in preterm infants, and there is no significant difference in IVH outcomes with respect to the time of IVH occurrence.
Effect of Aloe vera and carboxymethyl cellulose‐derived binary blend edible coating on the shelf life of fresh‐cut apple

Abstract In recent years, the demand and market for minimally processed fruits are increasing worldwide. Fresh‐cut apples are extremely sensitive to environmental factors including oxygen, temperature, and microorganisms in resulting the browning of apples. Therefore, in this study, different concentration of blended edible‐coating solution was prepared using Aloe vera and carboxymethyl cellulose (1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 3:3, 3:2, 4:2, 2:4, 3:4, and 4:3, respectively). Lease particle size (101.74 ± 0.67 nm) of the coating solution was observed with 3% A. vera and 2% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Afterward, the shelf life of the apples was evaluated for 10 days at refrigeration condition. Results showed that a significant difference was found in weight loss of coated (6.42%–10.26%) and uncoated apples (8.12%–15.32%) for 2–10 days. Moreover, the titrable acidity of the cut apples increased during the storage time. Rheological data emerged that the viscosity of the coating solution decreases with the increasing temperature from 0 to 50°C. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data confirmed the presence of hydroxyl group (–OH), C=O, C–O, and N–H banding in the A. vera, CMC, and blend‐coating solution. The blend solution indicated excellent antimicrobial efficiency. Total phenolic content of coated and uncoated apples at 0 day was 737.55 mg GAE kg−1 for uncoated and 717.88 mg GAE kg−1, respectively. Whereas, aerobic and psychrotrophic bacteria counts for edible coated apples significantly lower than control apples. For coated apples, aerobic and psychrotrophic bacteria counts were 1.59 ± 0.84 and 1.25 ± 0.49 log CFU g−1 were 4.26 ± 0.67 and 2.68 ± 0.22 log CFU g−1 at 10th day, respectively. Overall, it can be inferred that blend of A. vera and carboxymethyl cellulose could be used as a nontoxic potential anti‐browning and antimicrobial component for the enhancement of the shelf life and additional nutritional value of fresh‐cut apples.
REFINING THE TERMINOLOGY OF PRE-HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS: AQUANTITATIVE STUDY OF ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS, ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND FAMILY BACKGROUND

It is vital for educators to understand and match the learning needs of every student for learning to take place effectively. A detailed reference of the students’ entry characteristics, family background, and previous academic performance is useful in determining the materials and activities to be used with the students. The respondents of this study involved 103 students who enrolled in the pre-higher education programme. The characteristics to identify at-risk students are used as guidelines to redefine the definition of pre-higher education students. Therefore, the study aims to examine the characteristics of pre-higher education students based on their academic performance and socio-economic status. A quantitative method is used to gather more information about the basic entry characteristics, previous academic achievement, family background and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) results of the students. The findings of the study help the researcher to define the terminology of the pre-higher education programme. Having to confirm to the conceptual definition of the pre-higher education students helps the policy makers and institutions to develop a suitable learning programme to cater to their learning needs.
Inversion for reservoir pressure change using overburden strain measurements determined from 4D seismic

When significant pore pressure changes occur because of production from a hydrocarbon reservoir the rocks both inside and outside of the reservoir deform. This deformation results in traveltime changes between reflection events on timelapse seismic data, because the distance between reflection events is altered and the seismic velocity changes with the strain. These traveltime differences are referred to as time-lapse time shifts. In this thesis, time-lapse time shifts observed in the overburden are used as an input to a linear inversion for reservoir pressure. Measurements from the overburden are used because, in general, time shift estimates are more stable, the strain deformations can be considered linear, and fluid effects are negligible, compared to the reservoirlevel signal. A critical examination of methods currently available to measure time-lapse time shifts is offered. It is found that available methods are most accurate when the time shifts are slowly varying with pressure and changes in the seismic reflectivity are negligible. While both of these conditions are generally met in the overburden they are rarely met at reservoir level. Next, a geomechanical model that linearly relates the overburden time-lapse time shifts to reservoir pressure is considered. This model takes a semi-analytical approach by numerical integration of a nucleus of strain in a homogeneous poroelastic halfspace. Although this model has the potentially limiting assumption of a homogenous medium, it allows for reservoirs of arbitrary geometries, and, in contrast to the complex numerical approaches, it is simple to parameterise and compututationally efficient. This model is used to create a linear inversion scheme which is first tested on synthetic data output from complex finite-element model. Despite the simplifications of the

Influence of Risk Perception and Destination Image Mediated by Satisfaction Towards Destination Loyalty in Tanjung Lesung Tourism

COVID-19 is seen as a hazard to the tourist sector. Knowing visitors' views of pandemic risk can help develop an effective and efficient approach to increasing the volume of visits to Tanjung Lesung. This study investigates the link and impact of perceived risk (health and socio-psychological) and destination image (cognitive and affective images) on destination loyalty mediated by Tourist Satisfaction. This study used a quantitative methodology using non-probability purposive sampling to provide this analysis. The sample analyzed included people who visited Tanjung Lesung, and 150 respondents who fit these criteria were discovered. Using the SEM-PLS method, this investigation's significance level was 5%. The results indicate that perceived risk was found to influence satisfaction also destination loyalty; hence destination image was found not to have a significant influence. From here, tourist industry players and the government may collaborate to strengthen public communication methods to boost the industry's favorable image and overcome crisis.
Effect of Modifiable factors on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) in Elderly Population: A study from a tertiary care hospital in Delhi

Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health problem in all age group but isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the commonest form of hypertension in elderly population and it is a better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to diastolic blood pressure. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of modifiable factors on systolic blood pressure (SBP) in elderly population on systolic blood pressure in elderly patients. This prospective observational study was conducted on the patient attending OPD & IPD of HAHC Hospital, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi. All the elderly hypertensive with elevated systolic BP were included in the study, after explaining the details about the study and taking written consent data were recorded on a proforma. The patients were followed every regularly and the effect of drugs on SBP were assessed and recoded at monthly interval. Data were analysed by using IBM SPSSv20. This study documented that among the 220 hypertensive patients who completed the study 51% were female. The maximum numbers of patients were from of age group of 56 to 65 years (44.54%). This study also shows that 40.90% patients were tobacco user. Morbidity and mortality are increased by elderly hypertension. The number of elderly hypertension patients will increase for practitioners as the US aging population rises. Most ISH in elderly hypertension. Most difficult to treat. Evidence is quite strong for treating ISH. SBP management must come before DBP reduction. Clinical studies demonstrate that lowering SBP lowers cardiovascular and renal disease more than keeping SBP uncontrolled. Prioritizing elderly SBP management is necessary.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SERUM PROGESTERONE, SERUM BETA HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPHIN, SERUM ESTRADIOL AND VASCULAR ENOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR IN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY

Background: Ectopic Pregnancy is a common life threatening complications of early pregnancy refers to a gestation in which the fertilized ovum implants itself outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Several hormones eg Serum Progesterone, Serum Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, Serum Estradiol are affected in the body during pregnancy, which plays major role during pregnancy. One of the most important growth and survival factors for endothelium is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF induces angiogenesis and endothelial cell proliferation and it plays an important role in regulating vasculogenesis. It participates in the process of implantation and placentation, and it is significantly increased in early pregnancy complications. The value of serial measurement of serum β subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) and ultrasonography in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy has already been established. Objective: This study was to evaluate and compare Serum VEGF, Serum Progesterone, Serum Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, Serum Estradiol in women with ectopic pregnancy and normal intrauterine pregnancy and to correlate the levels of Serum Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Serum Progesterone, Serum β-hCG and Serum Estradiol in women with ectopic pregnancy and normal intrauterine pregnancy. Methodology: It is a prospective, case controlled, hospital based study in which Serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin , Estradiol were measured by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) technique and progesterone was measured by Radio immuno Assay (RIA) technique in 100 symptomatic women with ectopic pregnancy and 100 women with normal intrauterine pregnancy in the wards of Rajkiya mahila Chikitsalya, J.L. N. Medical College and Associated Group of Hospitals, Ajmer after taking approval from ethical committee. These values were compared by t-test. By determining cut-off levels of these parameters the sensitivity and specificity of them in prediction of ectopic pregnancy was estimated. Results: The mean serum level of VEGF ie 260.16 ± 59.05(pg/ml) was significantly higher in women with EP than in women with normal intrauterine pregnancy ie 26.8 ± 4.23(pg/ml)(p<0.001). The mean serum levels of Serum progesterone, Serum β-hCG, Serum Estradiol in women with ectopic pregnancy (5.86±1.18 ng/ml ,511.7±245.5mIU/ml and 304.3 ± 118.10 (pg/ml)) were significantly lower than in women with normal intrauterine pregnancy (23.5±7.38 ng/ml, 1903.0±425.5 mIU/ml and 1055.5 ± 413.0 pg/ml respectively) (p<0.001). Conclusions: The increased serum VEGF levels and low levels of serum β-hCG, serum progesterone and serum estradiol in women with Ectopic Pregnancy in comparison to Normal Intrauterine Pregnancy can serve as an excellent diagnostic tool for the prediction of ectopic pregnancy.
Infant Behavior and Development The clinical validity and reliability of the Brief Infant–Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (BITSEA)

This study investigates the construct validity and reliability of the Brief Infant–Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (BITSEA) in a psychiatric clinical sample of toddlers. The sample consisted of a psychiatric clinical sample ( N =112) (male, n =79; female, n =33) of toddlers (12-to 42-months old). Both mothers and fathers completed the BITSEA and mothers completed the Child Behavior Checklist 2/3 (CBCL). Children and their parents were administered a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Parents were also given the Autistic Behavior Checklist (AuBC) and the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC). The internal consistency of BITSEA scores was good to excellent for both parents. The BITSEA/Problem (P) scores were signiﬁcantly correlated with Internalizing, Externalizing and Total Problem scores of the CBCL, all subscores of ABC and total score of AuBC. The BITSEA/Competence (C) scores were signiﬁcantly inversely correlated with ABC total and AuBC lethargy scores. With respect to a community sample, BITSEA/P scores were signiﬁcantly higher in the disruptive behavior disorder (DBD) and anxiety/depression (Anx/Dep) groups and BITSEA/C scores were signiﬁcantly lower in the autism group. These results support the reliability and validity of the BITSEA as a screening tool that may be employed in primary health care services and in psychiatric clinical settings for assessing social–emotional/behavioral problems and delays in competence in infants and toddlers.
cross-cultural adaptation and reliability testing of Polish adaptation of the european heart Failure self-care Behavior scale (ehFscBs)

Background: Development of simple instruments for determination of self-care levels in heart failure (HF) patients is a subject of ongoing research. One such instrument, gaining growing popularity worldwide, is the European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior Scale (EHFScBS). The aim of this study was to adapt and to test reliability of the Polish version of EHFScBS. Method: A standard guideline was used for translation and cultural adaptation of the English version of EHFScBS into Polish. The study included 100 Polish HF patients aged between 24 and 91 years, among them 67 men and 33 women. Cronbach’s alpha was used for analysis of the internal consistency of EHFScBS. Results: Mean total self-care score in the study group was 34.2 ± 8.1 points. Good or satisfactory level of self-care were documented in four out of 12 analyzed EHFScBS domains. Cronbach’s alpha for the entire questionnaire was 0.64. The value of Cronbach’s alpha after deletion of specific items ranged from 0.55 to 0.65. Conclusion: Polish HF patients present significant deficits of self-care, which are to a large extent associated with inefficacy of the public health care system. Apart from cultural characteristics, the socioeconomic context of the target population should be considered during language adaptation of EHFScBS, as well as during interpretation of data obtained with this instrument. A number of self-care–related behaviors may be optimized as a result of appropriate educational activities, also those offered by nursing personnel.
Comprehensive analysis of UK AADF traffic dataset set within four geographical regions of England

Traffic flow detection plays a significant part in freeway traffic surveillance systems. Currently, effective autonomous traffic analysis is a challenging task due to the complexity of traffic delays, despite the significant investment spent by authorities in monitoring and analysing traffic congestion. This study builds an intelligent analytic method based on machine‐learning algorithms to investigate and predict road traffic flows in four locations in the United Kingdom (London, Yorkshire and the Humber, North East, and North West) with a range of relevant factors. While aiming to conduct the study, the dataset ‘estimated annual average daily flows (AADFs) Data—major and minor roads’ from the UK government was used. Machine‐learning algorithms are used for this research and classification applied consists of Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forests, K‐Nearest Neighbors, and Gradient Boosting. Each of these algorithms achieves an accuracy of over 93% and the F1 score of over 95%, with Random Forest outperforming the other algorithms. This analytical approach helps to focus attention on critical areas to reduce traffic flows on major and minor roads in the area. In summary, the findings on traffic analysis have been discussed in detail to demonstrate the practical insights of this study.
