Cytomorphological Assessment of Different Body Fluids: A 5 Year Retrospective Study!!

A scrupulous assesment of body fluids for their cytomorphological properties plays a vital role in diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic aspect of various neoplastic and nonneoplastic pathological conditions. Hence we conducted a 5 year descriptive, analytical and retrospective study in a tertiary care centre from January 2012 to January 2017. A total of 4197 sample of effusion fluids from various sites were analyzed retrospectively. Pleural fluid cases, 2056(49%) was commonest followed by peritoneal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid with, 1847(44%) and 126(3%) cases respectively. Pericardial and Synovial fluid were least common with only 84(2%) cases each. Majority of cases were Reactive in nature. Metastatic adenocarcinoma was the commonest malignancy encountered in both pleural and peritoneal fluid. Most of the patients were in 5 th decade with age range between 3 to 87 years. Male preponderance was observed with M: F ratio of 1.11:1.Although fluid cytology poses diagnostic dilemma in few cases, still it is cost effective, quick, relatively painless and simple technique that yields reliable and diagnostically significant results. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 01-06-2018 Date Of Acceptance: 18-06-2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Design of Analog Signal Processing Applications Using Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor-Based Low-Power Folded Cascode Operational Amplifier

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is one of the embryonic technologies within recent inventions towards miniaturization of semiconductor devices and is gaining much attention due to very high throughput and very extensive series of applications in various analog/mixed signal applications of today’s high-speed era. The carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFETs) have been reconnoitred as the stimulating aspirant for the future generations of integrated circuit (IC) devices. CNFETs are being widely deliberated as probable replacement to silicon MOSFETs also. In this paper, different analog signal processing applications such as inverting amplifier, noninverting amplifier, summer, subtractor, differentiator, integrator, half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, clipper, clamper, inverting and noninverting comparators, peak detector, and zero crossing detector are implemented using low-power folded cascode operational amplifier (op-amp) implemented using CNFET. The proposed CNFET-based analog signal processing applications are instigated at 32 nm technology node. Simulation results show that the proposed applications are properly implemented using novel folded cascode operational amplifier (FCOA) implemented using CNFET.
Caring for children with learning disabilities: an exploratory study of parental strain and coping

Accessible summary • Caring for a child with learning disability can be both a rewarding and difficult experience, but little is known about the experience of parents who provide care for children with learning disabilities in Ireland. • This study involved 32 parents of children (<16) with learning disabilities living in the Greater Dublin area. • The research investigated the kind of tasks involved in caring for a child with a learning disability, the extent and nature of any difficult behaviours with which parents must cope as well as parents’ attitudes towards caring. The use and availability of support services and how parents cope with their caring role were also explored. • This research is important to people with learning disabilities and their carers because it tells us about the practical, emotional and psychological benefits and drawbacks of caring for a child with learning disability and the importance of having appropriate and effective support services for both parents and their children. Summary Despite recurring concerns about the role and appropriate support of informal carers, little is known about the parental experience of caring for children with learning disabilities in Ireland. This study describes and analyses the nature and consequences of care and coping among parents of children (<16) with learning disabilities living in the Greater Dublin area. Participants (n = 32) completed the Caregiver Strain Questionnaire and an adapted version of the Carers Questionnaire which assessed: care tasks/behavioural difficulties; caregiver attitudes; service provision; and coping strategies. Qualitative analysis examined factors affecting carers’ ability to cope. Participants showed high levels of objective and subjective caregiver strain and most were receiving inadequate support. However, parents employed a range of strategies to help them cope more effectively. The qualitative data highlighted the difficulties and rewards of caregiving and the inadequacies of current service provision.
Color Stability of Preheated Novel Composite Resins Immersed in Different Beverages: In Vitro Study

the and immersion media combinations, at the end of 30 days, the most promi- nent color change values were observed in the GSX group immersed in coffee and red wine and the VCB group immersed in red wine. For all composite groups, the lowest color change values were measured after immersion in distilled water in all evaluation periods. All composite groups immersed in red wine showed the color change from the 1 st day, while those exposed to coffee from the 7 th day, above the clinically ac- ceptable values. Conclusion: The color change values of preheated resin-based composites kept in coffee and red wine were affected by the properties of the immersion solution and storage times rather than the type of the material.
Deciphering ‘Urge to Buy’: A Meta-Analysis of Antecedents

This paper presents a meta-analytical evaluation of the literature on the Urge to Buy (UTB). It seeks to establish the common antecedents of UTB as a construct by a thorough examination of the prior literature. Accordingly, the most significant antecedents of UTB are perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, hedonic and utilitarian values, positive and negative affects, scarcity, and impulsive buying tendency. The location of the studies has a moderating influence on the antecedents of UTB. Almost all the factors were more decisive in Eastern countries than Western. The limitations of the current study and the future research agenda have also been mentioned. The study results have both theoretical and practical implications contributing to the marketing research field. The implications of all the studies in the past on the UTB construct have been discussed, and the effect of these studies has been summarized with the meta-analysis technique.
Cutaneous vasculitis : An etiological and clinicopathological study

Background: Cutaneous vasculitis has varied clinical manifestations. Skin is involved in both small vessel vasculitis and medium vessel vasculitis. Skin biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cutaneous vasculitis. Based on histology, vasculitis can be classified on the size of vessels affected and the dominant immune cell mediating the inflammation. Along with histopathology, other investigations like complete hemogram and serology are needed to make an etiological diagnosis. Objectives: 1. To study the different patterns of cutaneous vasculitis along with their underlying etiologic factors 2. To assess the clinicopathological correlation. Materials and methods: A retrospective study over a period of 3 years from July 2011 to July 2014 was conducted. Histopathologically diagnosed cases of cutaneous vasculitis were included in the study and analyzed with the clinical details and investigations. Results: Out of 56 patients, 35 patients had idiopathic cutaneous small vessel vasculitis (CSVV) and 10 patients had urticarial vasculitis. Purpura was the most common cutaneous manifestation, seen in 41 patients. Histologically the most common pattern observed was leukocytoclastic vasculitis, seen in 32 of cases. Conclusion: The workup of patients with cutaneous vasculitis includes detailed history, clinical examination, skin biopsy and other investigations to rule out multisystem involvement. Follow up is essential as cutaneous manifestation may be the early indication of serious systemic involvement.

Monkeypox Outbreak — Nine States, May 2022

On May 17, 2022, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Laboratory Response Network (LRN) laboratory confirmed the presence of orthopoxvirus DNA via real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from lesion swabs obtained from a Massachusetts resident. Orthopoxviruses include Monkeypox virus, the causative agent of monkeypox. Subsequent real-time PCR testing at CDC on May 18 confirmed that the patient was infected with the West African clade of Monkeypox virus. Since then, confirmed cases* have been reported by nine states. In addition, 28 countries and territories,† none of which has endemic monkeypox, have reported laboratory-confirmed cases. On May 17, CDC, in coordination with state and local jurisdictions, initiated an emergency response to identify, monitor, and investigate additional monkeypox cases in the United States. This response has included releasing a Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory, developing interim public health and clinical recommendations, releasing guidance for LRN testing, hosting clinician and public health partner outreach calls, disseminating health communication messages to the public, developing protocols for use and release of medical countermeasures, and facilitating delivery of vaccine postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) and antivirals that have been stockpiled by the U.S. government for preparedness and response purposes. On May 19, a call center was established to provide guidance to states for the evaluation of possible cases of monkeypox, including recommendations for clinical diagnosis and orthopoxvirus testing. The call center also gathers information about possible cases to identify interjurisdictional linkages. As of May 31, this investigation has identified 17§ cases in the United States; most cases (16) were diagnosed in persons who identify as gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men (MSM). Ongoing investigation suggests person-to-person community transmission, and CDC urges health departments, clinicians, and the public to remain vigilant, institute appropriate infection prevention and control measures, and notify public health authorities of suspected cases to reduce disease spread. Public health authorities are identifying cases and conducting investigations to determine possible sources and prevent further spread. This activity was reviewed by CDC and conducted consistent with applicable federal law and CDC policy. ¶.
A Two-Way Split-Step Wavelet Scheme for Tropospheric Long-Range Propagation in Various Environments

In the context of improving the dimensioning of observation and telecommunication, the characterization of the propagation canal is very important. Thus, accurate models of propagation phenomenona in their environment and above a rough surface (maritime or terrestrial) are of major interest for many applications (such as radar, communications, and teledetection). To provide solutions to this problem, in this paper, we propose a fast, memory-efficient, and accurate asymptotic method for 2D tropospheric propagation for a large band of frequency that accounts for relief, as well as ground composition and roughness. This latter is a two-way split-step wavelet scheme with an intrinsic stopping criterion. For overseas propagation, roughness effects are considered through a hybrid method. A complete theoretical comparison with SSF in terms of memory and time efficiency is proposed. Simulations in various environments (ground, sea, and snow), as well as different frequencies (UHF, S, and X-band) are performed to validate the method and highlight its advantages. To highlight the interest of the developed methodology, this latter is applied to different real-life applications, such as the prediction of radar coverage and the optimization of an antenna location.
INFERRING CRIMINALITY AFTER 100 MS Looking Bad : Inferring Criminality After 100 Milliseconds

Research finds we make spontaneous trait inferences from facial appearance, even after brief exposures to a face (i.e., ≤ 100 ms). We examined spontaneous impressions of criminality from facial appearance, testing whether these impressions persist after repeated presentation (i.e., one to three exposures) and increased exposure duration (100, 500, or 1,000 ms) to the face. Judgement confidence and response times were recorded. Other participants viewed the faces for an unlimited period of time, rating trustworthiness dominance, and criminal appearance. We found evidence that participants spontaneously make criminal appearance attributions. These inferences persisted with repeated presentation and increased exposure duration, were related to trustworthiness and dominance ratings, and were made with high confidence. Implications are discussed.
Fertility control Pregnancy outcome after levonorgestrel-only emergency contraception failure : a prospective cohort study

background: Levonorgestrel (LNG), as a dedicated emergency contraception (EC) product, has been available over-the-counter in China for 10 years. Until now, only a small number of deliveries after LNG–EC failure have been documented. methods: This study was a prospective comparative cohort study. A group of 332 pregnant women who had used LNG–EC during the conception cycle was recruited, and matched to a group of 332 pregnant women without the exposure to LNG. Congenital malformations, perinatal complications and delivery circumstances were investigated in this study. results: There were 31 pregnant women in the study group and 28 in the comparison group miscarried within 14 weeks of gestation. In the study and comparison groups, four malformations were found in each group. In the study group, both birthweight (3416 versus 3345 g, P 1⁄4 0.040) and the sex ratio of birth (boys/girls, 1.14 versus 0.90, P 1⁄4 0.153) were higher than in the comparison group. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of miscarriage or malformation or in the neonatal outcome between the two groups. conclusions: There was no association between the use of LNG–EC pills and the risk of major congenital malformations, pregnancy complications or any other adverse pregnancy outcomes in our study.
Impact de l ’ activité de la maladie sur la qualité de vie chez les patients atteints de maladie de Crohn

TM V , GK T . Impact of disease activity on the quality of life of Crohn’s disease patients. Can J Gastroenterol 1996;10(5):310-315. Crohn’s disease (CD) patients often suffer severe symptoms that impair their quality of life. A sample of 39 CD patients who were assessed using well validated measures of disease activity and disease-specific quality of life is reported. Twenty-six of these patients were reassessed an average of four months after the initial assessment to determine the impact of changes in disease activity on quality of life. For the total sample (n=39) disease activity did not predict quality of life for any of the scales of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) (r<0.13 for each). Thus, examining fluctuations in disease activity between patients did not demonstrate a disease activity-quality of life relationship. In contrast, changes in disease activity within the same individuals over time (the repeat assessment sample, n=26) were correlated with changes in quality of life; increases in disease activity predicted decreases in quality of life on the IBDQ bowel symptoms subscale (r=–0.463, P<0.01) and the IBDQ systemic symptoms subscale (r=0.44, P<0.05). The 10 patients with the largest decrease in disease activity over time (mean decrease of 43.54 points using the Dutch Activity Index) had significant improvement in quality of life on the bowel and systemic subscales. In contrast, the nine patients with the largest increase in disease activity over time (mean increase of 20.57 points using the Dutch Activity Index) had significant reduction in quality of life on the bowel and systemic symptoms subscales. These differences between extreme groups were significant for both the bowel symptoms (P<0.05) and systemic symptoms (P<0.05) subscales. The authors conclude that changes in disease activity affect some important aspects of quality of life: aspects related to disease-specific (bowel symptoms) and nondisease-specific (systemic symptoms) physical symptoms. Importantly, disease activity was not able to predict the emotional and social aspects of IBD-related quality of life. This suggests that nondisease factors need to be considered when working with CD patients. Future research should evaluate the role of psychological intervention in improving quality of life for patients with reduced well-being, particularly in areas of emotional and social functioning.
Real-time 3 D Hand Pose Estimation with 3 D Convolutional Neural Networks

In this paper, we present a novel method for real-time 3D hand pose estimation from single depth images using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Image-based features extracted by 2D CNNs are not directly suitable for 3D hand pose estimation due to the lack of 3D spatial information. Our proposed 3D CNN-based method, taking a 3D volumetric representation of the hand depth image as input and extracting 3D features from the volumetric input, can capture the 3D spatial structure of the hand and accurately regress full 3D hand pose in a single pass. In order to make the 3D CNN robust to variations in hand sizes and global orientations, we perform 3D data augmentation on the training data. To further improve the estimation accuracy, we propose applying the 3D deep network architectures and leveraging the complete hand surface as intermediate supervision for learning 3D hand pose from depth images. Extensive experiments on three challenging datasets demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms baselines and state-of-the-art methods. A cross-dataset experiment also shows that our method has good generalization ability. Furthermore, our method is fast as our implementation runs at over 91 frames per second on a standard computer with a single GPU.
One-Dimensional and Axisymmetric Numerical Simulation of a Single-Stage Gas Gun

One dimensional and axisymmetric numerical simulation of a single-stage gas gun is being conducted in this study. Axisymmetric viscous and compressible flow equations has been numerically solved by van Leer flux vector splitting scheme, with space and time second order accuracy by using moving boundary. One dimensional inviscid compressible flow has been numerically solved by secondorder Roe TVD scheme. For the turbulent flow in axisymmetric simulation is used the Baldwin-Lomax model. The projectile velocity for different governing parameters for a transonic and supersonic gas gun is obtained and investigated. The transonic gas gun results illustrate that the second-order TVD Roe scheme has a higher accuracy than the Van Leer flux vector splitting scheme for low Mach number flows. The supersonic gas gun results are in an excellent agreement with the one-dimensional and axisymmetric simulation. The comparison between two methods of solution shows that the one-dimensional and inviscid flow approximation are sufficient for simulation of flow in a single-stage gas gun and does not need to the axisymmetric simulation.
Long-term trends in incidence and prevalence of severe sight impairment due to diabetes in South East Scotland before and after implementation of diabetic retinopathy screening

The study set out to examine the impact of the introduction of a national diabetic retinopathy screening programme in Scotland in 2006 on incidence and trends in severe sight impairment (SSI) certification due to diabetes over three decades. We analysed SSI certification due to diabetic eye disease in Fife, Scotland, between 2010 and 2019 and compared it to previously published estimates from 1990 onwards. Population estimates of the general population and those with diabetes were obtained from the National Records of Scotland and the National Diabetes Register, NHS SCI Diabetes, respectively. Mean annual incidence of SSI in the population with diabetes, 1990–2019, before and after the introduction of diabetic retinopathy screening was compared using a Mann–Whitney U Test. Mean incidence in 2007–2019 was 19.8/100,000 and was significantly less than the period before the systematic screening, 1990–2006 (57.5/100,000, p < .001). Mean SSI incidence due to diabetes in Fife between 2010 and 2019 was significantly lower than in the previous decades (p < .001) at 16.4 per 100,000 for the population with diabetes, per year (SD 10.0; 95% confidence interval: [9.2, 23.5]) compared to 42.7 per 100,000 in 2000–2009 and 64.3 per 100,000 in 1990–1999. This study demonstrates a significant reduction in the annual incidence of SSI due to diabetes before and after the introduction of the screening programme provides evidence for the benefit of systematic diabetic retinopathy screening programmes. Other factors including improved management of diabetes and risk factors will have also had an impact emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the prevention of sight loss in diabetes.
Nutritional Factors and Oxidative Stress in Experimental Alcoholic Liver Disease Spin Trapping Studies of Alcohol-Initiated Radicals in Rat Liver : Influence of Dietary Fat 1 , 2

We conducted spin trapping experiments to test the effects of acute and chronic alcohol consumption in livers from rats that had been fed either high fat (35% of energy) or low fat (12% of energy) liquid diets. Rats were anesthetized with isoflurane, the spin trapping agent POBN [a-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-t-butylnitrone] was administered by intravenous injection, and bile samples were collected for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses. Two different types of EPR spectra were observed in bile from the animals in these studies. One set of spectral lines was from the 1-hydroxyethyl radical adduct of POBN, which was conclusively identified by injecting the rats with [1-C]ethanol. The EPR signals of a second type of radical adduct in bile could be observed both before and after acute administration of ethanol. Although the radical(s) responsible for this second series of signals could not be conclusively identified, it is likely that lipid radicals were formed under these conditions and trapped by POBN. For both types of radical adducts, the most intense EPR signals were observed in rats that had been fed alcohol in combination with a high fat diet for 2 wk before the experiments. These results confirm and extend previous data indicating that high levels of dietary fat enhance alcohol-associated free radical formation in the liver. J. Nutr. 127: 899S–902S, 1997.
Mood and the evaluation of leaders

Research on the evaluation of leaders has shown that evaluation ratings are prone to several biases. The present study deals with one possible bias, namely, the relationship between mood and the perception or evaluation of a leader. The affect-as-information framework, which indicates that mood influences the response to certain kinds of questions, constitutes the theoretical background of the study. In the study, we ask students to indicate their mood, then to read a description of a leader (either transformational or transactional) and finally to evaluate the leader with respect to different leadership styles. The results indicate that mood is related to the perception of management-by-exception passive, but not others, e.g., transformational leadership. Reasons for these outcomes are discussed and implications for future research and organizational practice presented.
