Thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke: still a treatment for the few by the few.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) trialwas groundbreaking.1It demonstrated that stroke patients could be admitted to hospital, scanned,and treated within 3 hours of stroke, a major achievement in the early 1990s.The Food and Drug Administration accepted the NINDS evidence (actuallyconducted as 2 consecutive trials, only 1 of which gave positive results) andlicensed recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for the treatment ofstroke.
High-energy follow-up studies of gravitational wave transient events

Mergers of binary systems of compact objects are the most promising sources of gravitational waves (GWs) and are thought to be connected to some of the most energetic events in the universe: short Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). A definitive probe of this association is still missing and combined observations of gravitational and electromagnetic (EM) signals from these events are crucial to unveil the progenitors of short GRBs and study the physics of compact objects. We investigate the possibility of joint GW and EM observations of merging binary systems with the GW detectors Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo and with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument on-board the Fermi γ-ray observatory.
The relationship between the perception of breast milk of parents with term infants and exclusive breastfeeding in the postnatal first six months

Objective Breast milk is the ideal food that meets all kinds of nutritional contents of babies. The World Health Organization recommends that all babies be fed exclusively breastfeeding for the first 6 months. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the perception of breast milk of mothers and fathers with term babies and exclusively breastfeeding status in the first 6 months and to investigate the factors affecting exclusively breastfeeding status. Material and Methods Our longitudinal type study includes healthy/term infants and their parents born between 1 July-30 September 2018. In the postpartum period “adult’s perception level of breast milk scale” was completed by the parents. The nutritional properties of the babies were recorded by reaching the families by phone when they were 2, 4, and 6 months old. Of the 341 families that participated in the study, 332 were evaluated and the study was completed with 304, 297, and 292 families at the 2nd, 4th, and 6th months, respectively. Results Exclusively breastfeeding ratio was 85.5%, 68%, and 50% in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th months, respectively. The mean score of the mothers on perception level of milk scale was significantly higher than the fathers (133.97±10.01 vs 123.91±13.41, p<0.001, respectively). The scale score of the mothers receiving breastfeeding training was significantly higher than the mothers without training (135.19±8.55 vs 130.91±12.25, respectively, p=0.008). The mode of delivery is related to the level of perception of breast milk of mothers and fathers. Mothers who had the last cesarean section had lower scale scores than those who delivered normally (131.71±12.11 vs 134.94±8.80, respectively, p=0.007). In the fathers whose spouse had a cesarean section, the scale scores were significantly higher than those whose spouses had normal delivery (126.42±12.73 vs 122.83±13.57, p=0.026, respectively). There was no correlation between exclusively breastfeeding status and breastmilk perception levels of the parents in the first 6 months. The mother’s breastfeeding her previous child for ≥6 months and the use of pacifier/baby bottle were associated with exclusively breastfeeding status in the first 6 months. Conclusion Fathers should be included in breastmilk and breastfeeding training.

It was recommended that Government should provide loans to encourage small and medium scale enterprises.
Self-Awareness and the Emotional Consequences of Self-Discrepancies

Several self theories explore the effects of discrepant self-beliefs on motivation and emotion. This research intersected two self theories: self-discrepancy theory and objective self-awareness theory. Self-discrepancy theory predicts that ideal and ought discrepancies cause different negative emotions; objective self-awareness theory predicts that high self-awareness will strengthen the relationship between self-discrepancies and emotions. People (N = 112) completed measures of self-discrepancies and emotions (dejection, agitation, positive affect, and negative affect). Selffocused attention was manipulated with a large mirror. When self-awareness was low, self-discrepancies had weak, nonsignificant relations to emotion. When self-awareness was high, however, self-discrepancies strongly predicted emotional experience. These effects were general—ideal and ought discrepancies affected emotions because of their substantial shared variance, not their unique variance. Implications for theories of selfdiscrepancies and emotions are considered.

During the last five years forty phenotypic female river buffalos with reproductive problems and two phenotypic male co-twins of females, raised in the provinces of Caserta and Salerno (southern Italy) underwent cytogenetic investigation. Of the 42 animals studied, 10 freemartins (8 females and 2 males) were found with variable percentages of male and female blood cells, the majority however showing similar percentages of both. Of the eight females, six showed normal body conformation, vagina and clitoris, while two showed some male traits (tight pelvis). The two males were apparently normal with only a reduced size of one testicle in one animal. Clinical observations performed in the internal reproductive organs of the female carriers by both rectal palpation (5 females) and direct observation after mating (3 females) revealed serious damages varying from complete lack of internal sex adducts (closed vagina) to hypoplasia of Müllerian ducts and absence (or atrophy) of ovaries. All freemartin females were sterile. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed description of freemartinism in river buffalo by combining clinical and cytogenetic analyses.

Performance Analysis and Design Optimization of Gapped Pin-Fin in a Cooling Channel

ABSTRACT Performance analysis and optimization of a circular pin-fin with inside gaps in a rectangular cooling channel were performed at Reynolds number, 10,000, using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations and a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The low-Reynolds-number version of the shear stress transport model was used as turbulence closure. A parametric study was also performed to identify the geometrical effects of the pin-fin on heat transfer and pressure drop. The straight and reference gapped pin-fins yielded better performances than those of the circular pin-fin without the gap in terms of both heat transfer and pressure drop. The objective of the optimization was to maximize the heat transfer and minimize the pressure loss, simultaneously. The area-averaged Nusselt number and pressure loss coefficient were considered as objective functions, and three design variables related to the geometry of the gapped pin-fin were chosen for the optimization. Twenty-seven design points were generated using Latin hypercube sampling in the design space, and response surface approximation models were constructed for the objective functions. The optimization results were analyzed using five representative solutions on the Pareto-optimal front. The objective functions were found to be significantly affected by variation in the design variables, especially, the width of front gap and the rear gap angle.
Percutaneous cT-guided microwave ablation as maintenance after first-line treatment for patients with advanced nsclc

Background: Systemic therapy is recommended for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, conventional first-line treatment has generated a plateau in response rate of 25% to 35%. Few studies have shown patients benefit from microwave ablation (MWA) in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of percutaneous computed tomography-guided MWA as maintenance after first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Patients with histologically verified NSCLC stage IIIB or IV between January 2010 and March 2014 were involved. After completion of first-line treatment with partial response or stable disease, 35 patients with 39 tumors underwent 39 MWA procedures. Complications, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and correlated predictors were analyzed. Results: During a median follow-up of 17.7 months and 10.8 months after initial MWA, local efficacy was 87.2%, median MWA-related local control time was 10.6 months, and tumor size was the only predictor ( P = 0.002). Median MWA-related PFS, MWA-related OS, PFS, and OS were 5.4, 10.6, 11.8 and 17.7 months, respectively. Local efficacy was significantly correlated with MWA-related PFS ( P = 0.003), MWA-related OS ( P = 0.000), and OS ( P = 0.001). There were no procedure-specific deaths. Total incidence of major complications was 12.8%, including pneumothorax resolved by closed pleural drainage and pneumonia controlled by antibiotics in a short time. Conclusion: This study concluded two points, including: 1) patients benefited from MWA as maintenance both in local control and survival; 2) as maintenance MWA was superior to conventional maintenance therapy with improved survival and well-tolerated complications. Therefore, MWA was a safe and effective maintenance after first-line treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC.
Self-supervised Multi-level Face Model Learning for Monocular Reconstruction at over 250 Hz — Supplemental Material —

Our novel monocular reconstruction approach estimates high-quality facial geometry, skin reﬂectance (including facial hair) and incident illumination at over 250 Hz. A trainable multi-level face representation is learned jointly with the feed forward inverse rendering network. End-to-end training is based on a self-supervised loss that does not require dense ground truth. In this supplemental document we provide more details on our approach. More speciﬁcally, we discuss robust training (Sec. 1) of our architecture, we provide the runtime (Sec. 2) for training and testing, we discuss different corrective spaces that we tested (Sec. 3), we perform a study (Sec. 4) on the number of required corrective parameters, and show more results (Sec. 5). Please note that all shown colored reconstructions of our approach are not textured with the input image, but show the color due to the reconstructed reﬂectance and/or illumination, for e.g. see Fig. 1. The underlying model is a multi-level face model with a base level employing a 3DMM (Base), and a ﬁnal level that adds optimal learned per-vertex shape and reﬂectance correctives (Final). Skin reﬂectance is represented with a low-dimensional coefﬁcient vector of size 580 = 500 + 80 ( 500 coefﬁcients for the correctives and 80 coefﬁcients for the 3DMM). Thus, skin reﬂectance is stored using only 2.3KB (one ﬂoat per coefﬁcient). The shape is represented based on a low-dimensional vector of size 644 = 500 + 80 + 64 ( 500 coefﬁcients for the correc-tives, 80
Mathematical and Numerical Methods for Non-linear Beam Dynamics

Non-linear effects in accelerator physics are important for both successful operation of accelerators and during the design stage. Since both of these aspects are closely related, they will be treated together in this overview. Some of the most important aspects are well described by methods established in other areas of physics and mathematics. The treatment will be focused on the problems in accelerators used for particle physics experiments. Although the main emphasis will be on accelerator physics issues, some of the aspects of more general interest will be discussed. In particular, we demonstrate that in recent years a framework has been built to handle the complex problems in a consistent form, technically superior and conceptually simpler than the traditional techniques. The need to understand the stability of particle beams has substantially contributed to the development of new techniques and is an important source of examples which can be verified experimentally. Unfortunately, the documentation of these developments is often poor or even unpublished, in many cases only available as lectures or conference proceedings.
Knowledge , Attitude and Consumption Pattern of Alcoholic and Sugar Sweetened Beverages among Undergraduates in a Nigerian Institution

High consumption of alcoholic and sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) remains a public health problem among the young adults. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and consumption pattern of alcohol and SSBs among the undergraduate students. A pretested, self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on the socio-demographic characteristic, knowledge, attitude and consumption pattern of the students regarding the negative social and health implications of excessive consumption of alcohol and SSBs from 376 undergraduate students from the University of Ibadan. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi square at P<0.05 was considered significant. The mean age of the students was 22.5±2.3 years. Large proportion (83.0% and 86.7%) had adequate knowledge of the health implications of excessive consumption of alcohol and SSBs respectively. Majority (85.4%) had positive attitude towards intake of alcoholic drinks while 83.5% had negative attitude towards the intake of SSBs. Majority (83.0%) of the respondents considered high intake of alcoholic drinks as dangerous to health while only 32.5% considered regular consumption of SSBs as dangerous to health. Majority (75.0%, 63.3% and 79.3%) of the respondents abstained from intake of beers, alcoholic wines and spirits respectively. Significant relationship was observed between the knowledge of social and health implication of excessive consumption of alcohol and the abstinence of the participants (p<0.05). A significant relationship was also observed between frequent consumption of SSBs by the respondents and being overweight (P<0.05). Knowledge of the undergraduate students on the social and health implication of excessive consumption of alcohol and sugar sweetened beverages was adequate. Majority had negative attitude towards alcohol intake but positive attitude towards the intake of sugar sweetened beverages. Frequent consumption of sugar sweetened beverages could contribute to being overweight. Nutrition education to encourage healthful dietary practices regarding the intake of sugar sweetened beverages should be intensified.
Effect of addition of MWCNTs to a mineral lubricant on Diesel engine performance

In this research, a diesel engine lubricant, modified with Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) was evaluated. Carboxylic group functionalized MWCNTs were dispersed in 15W40 mineral oil for Diesel engines and retaining ring and cylinder sleeve materials from F300 diesel engine were used for tribological tests. The Nanofluid (0.1 0.5 and 1% wt.) rheological behavior was characterized. Nanolubricants with 1% wt and base oil were evaluated on a Pin-on-Disk test. Results suggest both wear rate and coefficient of friction reduction when MWCNTs are used, while no significant rheological properties changes were observed.
MindID: Person Identification from Brain Waves through Aention-based Recurrent Neural Network

Person identication technology recognizes individuals by exploiting their unique, measurable physiological and behavioral characteristics. However, the state-of-the-art person identication systems have been shown to be vulnerable, e.g., antisurveillance prosthetic masks can thwart face recognition, contact lenses can trick iris recognition, vocoder can compromise voice identication and ngerprint lms can deceive ngerprint sensors. EEG (Electroencephalography)-based identication, which utilizes the user’s brainwave signals for identication and oers a more resilient solution, draw a lot of aention recently. However, the accuracy still requires improvement and very lile work is focusing on the robustness and adaptability of the identication system. We propose MindID, an EEG-based biometric identication approach, achieves higher accuracy and beer characteristics. At rst, the EEG data paerns are analyzed and the results show that the Delta paern contains the most distinctive information for user identication. en the decomposed Delta paern is fed into an aention-based Encoder-Decoder RNNs (Recurrent Neural Networks) structure which assigns varies aention weights to dierent EEG channels based on the channel’s importance. e discriminative representations learned from the aention-based RNN are used to recognize the user’ identication through a boosting classier. e proposed approach is evaluated over 3 datasets (two local and one public). One local dataset (EID-M) is used for performance assessment and the result illustrate that our model achieves the accuracy of 0.982 which outperforms the baselines and the state-of-the-art. Another local dataset (EID-S) and a public dataset (EEG-S) are utilized to demonstrate the robustness and adaptability, respectively. e results indicate that the proposed approach has the potential to be largely deployment in practice environment.
Spin-dependent potentials, axion-like particles and Lorentz-symmetry violation: beyond the Standard Model phenomenology at the low-energy frontier of physics

It is well known that the Standard Model is not complete and many of the theories that seek to extend it predict new phenomena that may be accessible in low-energy settings. This thesis deals with some of these, namely, novel spin-dependent interparticle potentials, axion-like particles and Lorentz-symmetry violation. In Part I we discuss the spin-dependent potentials that arise due to the exchange of a topologically massive mediator, and also pursue a comparative study between spin-1/2 and spin-1 sources. In Part II we treat massive axion-like particles that may be copiously produced in core-collapse supernovae, thus leading to a non-standard flux of gamma rays. Using SN 1987A and the fact that after its observation no extra gamma-ray signal was detected, we are able to set robust limits on the parameter space of axion-like particles with masses in the 10 keV - 100MeV range. Finally, in Part III we investigate the effects of Lorentz-breaking backgrounds in QED. We discuss two scenarios: a modification in the Maxwell sector via the Carroll-Field-Jackiw term and a new non-minimal coupling between electrons and photons. We are able to set upper limits on the coefficients of the backgrounds by using laboratory-based measurements.
Relation of Refractive Error With Corneal Curvature of the Eye in Adult Subjects With Refractive Error

BACKGROUND: The second most common reason for blindness worldwide is refractive error. Not only is the global burden of refractive error very high, but also increasing every day. A number of associated serious complications and the various modes of treatment aspect of the refractive errors, warrants the necessity to explore the various factors that have impact on them. The present study was done with the purpose of establishing the relation of refractive error with corneal curvature of the eye in adult subjects. This study was done on one thousand eyes, of five hundred adult cases, over a total period of 2 years. The cases included were of both sex’s male and female, taken from Patiala and around Patiala. The subjects were recruited on the basis of inclusion criteria: refractive errormyopia and hyperopia, aged between 20-40 years. The subjects in our study included students of M.B. B.S. (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) and B.D. S. (Bachelor of Dental Sciences) and routine OPD (outpatient door) patients falling in the range of concern of my study. The instruments used in this study were: Auto refractor and Auto keratometer for measuring refractive error and corneal curvature respectively. Each subject was explained thoroughly about the whole procedure. Their informed written consent was also taken. General examination was done in each and every case. Thereafter local examination was done and the two concerned ocular parameters were recorded. The aim was to find in the subjects the type and degree of refractive error and corneal curvature and to find the relationship in between the two parameters. Statistical analysis was done of the data obtained. The results of our present study have showed that the spherical refractive error has statistically highly significant positive correlation with corneal curvature, in right eye (r=0.159, p<0.01) and in left eye (r=0.184, p<0.01). It means that as we progress from myopic to hyperopic refractive error accordingly the corneal curvature increases. In myopia or shortsightedness, image is formed in front of retina. Increase in myopic refractive error is found to be in close association with decreased corneal curvature. In hyperopia or long sightedness, image is formed behind the retina. Increased corneal curvature of the eyeball is found to be closely associated with hyperopia.
