A study on Clinico-Epidemiological Profile of Bacterial infections in Intensive care unit and its implications on empiric therapy

Background: To study the bacteriological profile of infections in patients admitted to ICU and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the bacterial isolates. This study was done as Prospective study of 2 months period with a study population of patients admitted to Intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: Selection criteria for this study was with an inclusion criteria of patients admitted to ICU for various reasons and developing infection within 48 hours of admission and the exclusion criteria was patients admitted to ICU and not developing infection and patients admitted to ICU with an already existing infection. All the samples were processed as per standard microbiology guidelines. Results: Gram negative bacilli were predominant with 73.35% as compared to Gram positive cocci of 9.97% of the total aerobic bacteria grown from various samples of patients admitted in Intensive care unit. Escherichia coli were more common with 26.67% of the total bacteria isolated. This was followed by Acinetobacter species 16.67%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 16.67%, Klebsiella pneumoniae 6.67% and Enterobacter species6.67%. Among the Gram positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus was more commonly isolated with 16.67% followed by Enterococcus species 6.67% and Streptococcus species 3.30%. Antibiotic resistance was observed by most bacteria to Penicillins, third generation Cephalosporins, Fluoroquinolones like Ciprofloxacin, Cotrimoxazole. Conclusion: Multi-drug resistance is a major hurdle in treating patients admitted to ICU setting in a hospital. Regular surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility patterns is very important for setting orders to guide the clinician in choosing empirical or directed therapy of infected patients.
Weed control in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) through Parthenium water extract in combination with a herbicide

Pulses are an excellent and inexpensive source of plant protein. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek]. Mungbean is one of the most important pulse crops, belongs to family Fabaceae. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. This study is designed to check the effect of several cultural practices on the weed population i.e Parthenium water extract in combination with conquest (post emergence)herbicide and hand weeding. Uncontrolled weed population result in 30-90% yield losses in mungbean. Hand weeding at 25 DAS and 45 DAS and weed free check treatments decreased weed population by 80.29% and 90.16% respectively recorded at 30 DAS. Parthenium Water extract application had also decreased weed density by 26.52%. When data recorded at 60 DAS then sole application of foliar spray of Parthenium water extract @ 16 L ha-1 at 20, 30 and 45 DAS reduced weed population by 24.45% and decreased weeds fresh weight by 28.35% and 40.67%. The weeds fresh weight was reduced in weed free check treatment by 88.22% and 91.74% at 40 and 60 DAS, respectively relative to control. Similarly, the highest plant height i.e. 56.67 cm, the highest number of branches per plant i.e. 5.97, number of pods per plant i.e. 48.67, increased aerial biological yield i.e. 51.54% and increased grain yield i.e. 85.80% were recorded under the weed free check treatment. However, one foliar spray of (conquest + Parthenium water extract) @ 0. 19 L ha-1 + 16 L ha-1 reduced weed population by 23.01% (60DAS), and reduced weed fresh weight by 38.21% and 51.68%recorded at40 and 60 DAS, respectively. This treatment also resulted in the decrease of weeds dry weight i.e. 41.87 and 52.29 % recorded 40 and 60 DAS, respectively. However, combination of Parhenium water extract and herbicide proved an effective method to control weeds. * Corresponding Author: Muhammad Irfan Ahmad  irfan306@outlook.com International Journal of Biosciences | IJB | ISSN: 2220-6655 (Print), 2222-5234 (Online) http://www.innspub. net Vol. 12, No. 3, p. 36-48, 2018
Computed Tomography evaluation of maxillofacial injuries

Background & Objectives: The maxillofacial region, a complex anatomical structure, can be evaluated by conventional (plain) films, Tomography, Multidetector Computed Tomography, Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography, Orthopantomogram and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The study was conducted with objective of describing various forms of maxillofacial injuries, imaging features of different types of maxillofacial fractures and the advantage of using Three- Dimensional Computed Tomography reconstructed image. Materials & Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 patients during April 2014 to September 2016 using Toshiba Aquilion Prime 160 slice Multi Detector Computed Tomography scanner. Results: The maxillofacial fractures were significantly higher in male population (88%) than female population (12 %). Road traffic accidents were the most common cause of injury others being physical assault and fall from height. It was most common in 31-40 years (26%) and 21-30 (24%) years age group. Maxillary sinus was the commonest fracture (36%) followed by nasal bone and zygomatic bone (30%), mandible and orbital bones (28%). Soft tissue swelling was the commonest associated finding. Three dimensional images (3 D) compared to the axial scans missed some fractures. However, the extension of the complex fracture lines and degree of displacement were more accurately assessed. Complex fractures found were Le fort (6%) and naso-orbito-ethmoid (4%) fractures. Conclusion: The proper evaluation of complex anatomy of the facial bones requires Multidetector Computed Tomography which offers excellent spatial resolution enabling multiplanar reformations and three dimensional reconstructions for enhanced diagnostic accuracy and surgical planning.

Investigating Structural Strength of Egg as Shell Structure

Considering the God’s wisdom can improve human scientific growth and his awareness about the world considerably. It can accelerate human knowledge. Reviewing "why no one has been able to break an egg between his hands so far? " is basis of the present research. There is made two soft and flexible fulcrum for both ends of egg by inspiring human palms. Then it is tested compressive strength of egg types with different geometrical shapes as uncooked, cooked and without contents in a testing machine. The maximum achieved failure load is 750 N. The initial results of the experiment show that egg contents are not involved in resistance. Then the egg is modeled in Ansys software, and there is conducted linear and nonlinear static analysis of materials and geometry. Results show that its geometry shape does not play a major role in bearing capacity, and orbital tensile tensions are failure factors. In equal thicknesses, eggs with ratio of length to width 1.5 and 1.7 roughly have the highest and lowest bearing capacity respectively.
Effect of Anti-Stress Activity of Buspirone on Restrained Stress Induced Male Albino Rats

Experiments were conducted with the aim of evaluating the protective potential of Buspirone, an anxiolytic drug, on alteration in gravimetry and hematological parameters in male albino rats. 28 adult Wistar albino rats weighing about 175 to 225g were taken for the study and were divided at random into four groups of six animals each. Group I (control), kept undisturbed in the metabolic cage throughout the 42 days experimental period. Group II (stress) rats were kept in a wire mesh restrainer for 6 hr/day for 42 days. Group III (stress+ withdrawal) rats were stressed for 21 days and withdrawal of stress for remaining 21 days (total 42 days). Group IV (stress + Buspirone) rats were only stressed for 21 days and treated with drug Buspirone (12mg/kg body weight, IP) in continuation with stress for remaining 21 days (total period is 42 days). At the end of the study period, all the experimental rats were sacrificed and gravimetrical, hematological parameters were evaluated. Results revealed after 42 days, there was a significant (P ≤0.05) decrease final body weight, Hb, RBC, MCV, MCH, total WBC and Platelets, while increase in neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils and monocytes in Group II of restraint stress rats when compared to control group I. Group III and Group IV shown significantly (P≤0.05) improvement in gravimetry and hematological parameters in restraint stress compared to only group II. Results indicate a possible antioxidant effect of Buspirone on restrained stress induced alteration of gravimetrical and hematological profiles in male albino rats.
A BAYESIAN ESTIMATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS AND STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA

The traditional monetary transmission channels show the role of interest rates and money supply in stimulating asset prices and output in an economy. In an attempt to validate this claim the study verifies the interdependence among economic fundamentals and the stock market through the asset and credit channels. The empirical investigation was conducted using VEC causality and Bayesian VAR model. Macroeconomic variables of importance were money supply, inflation, monetary policy rate, credit to the private sector and exchange rate. The stock market index – All Share Index – is used to measure stock activities. Empirical results showed that both credit and asset channels were effective vantage point in transmitting macroeconomic responses to the economy. However, the results also showed that the stock market could be an effective channel of transmission in the near term. The monthly data used were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria and Nigerian Stock Exchange websites (2000-2011).
PREVALENCE OF CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH DOWN SYNDROME IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL OF NORTH INDIA

Objectives: To define the frequency and patterns of congenital heart disease (CHD) among children with Down syndrome (DS) in tertiary care hospital of North India Methods A cross sectional study was conducted in 110 consecutive patients with Down syndrome attending the Department of Pediatric Government Medical College , from December 2016 through September 2018. All children were offered cytogenetic analysis and were subjected to echocardiography. We excluded term and preterm children with patent ducts arteriosus (PDA) and persistent foramen oval spontaneously resolved during the first 4 weeks of life. Results: Among the 110 patients with Downs syndrome , congenital heart disease was present in 51 (46.6%). The most common heart diseases were atrio ventricular septal defect in 254 18patients (35.2%); ventricular septal defect in 10 (19.6%) atrial septal defect in 8[15.6%] . Mixed shunt lesion in 2[3.9%]. Among cyanotic CHD classical Tetrology of Fallot was commonest present in 3 patients [5.8%] Conclusion: The high prevalence of congenital heart disease among the patients at the Down syndrome [46.6%]was similar to findings from other studies and justifies investigation during the neonatal period, so as to decrease mortality and morbidity.
Nocturnal ventilation in neuromuscular diseases

Despite a different way of assessing asthma severity, RAGHURAM et al. [1] confirm our results [2] that active smoking relates to asthma severity. They concluded from their study conducted in Salford that asthma patients were less likely than controls to have ever smoked, but according to available data the prevalence of ever-smokers was not statistically different between asthmatics and controls (50 versus 53% respectively, p=0.23). Although the relationship of asthma to exsmoking was weaker, asthmatic smokers in Salford, as in the Epidemiological Study on the Genetics and Environment of Asthma, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and atopy (EGEA) study, quitted smoking significantly more often than controls (OR (95% CI)=1.3 (1.1±1.7), p=0.008). The recruitment of asthmatics was probably based on a more restrictive definition of asthma in the EGEA study, which could explain the difference in OR between studies. The conclusion that patients with severe asthma were least successful at quitting smoking is in accordance with the EGEA data in which we showed that the severity score was higher in current-smokers. These data and others strengthen the needs of more awareness and advice to prevent asthmatics from taking up smoking.
Triple-halide wide–band gap perovskites with suppressed phase segregation for efficient tandems

Tuning band gaps with three halides Tandem solar cells can boost solar cell efficiency by using two active layers to absorb the solar spectrum more completely, provided that the two cells are current-matched. Inorganic-organic perovskites tuned to the appropriate wide band gap (∼1.7 electron volts) as top cells that contained iodine and bromine or bromine and chlorine have short carrier diffusion lengths and undergo photo-induced phase segregation. Xu et al. now report a method for incorporating chloride that allows for fabrication of stable triple-halide perovskites with a band gap of 1.67 electron volts. Two-terminal tandem silicon solar cells made with this material had a power conversion efficiency of 27%. Science, this issue p. 1097 Metal halide perovskites containing chlorine, bromine, and iodine had higher band gaps that led to more efficient silicon solar cells. Wide–band gap metal halide perovskites are promising semiconductors to pair with silicon in tandem solar cells to pursue the goal of achieving power conversion efficiency (PCE) greater than 30% at low cost. However, wide–band gap perovskite solar cells have been fundamentally limited by photoinduced phase segregation and low open-circuit voltage. We report efficient 1.67–electron volt wide–band gap perovskite top cells using triple-halide alloys (chlorine, bromine, iodine) to tailor the band gap and stabilize the semiconductor under illumination. We show a factor of 2 increase in photocarrier lifetime and charge-carrier mobility that resulted from enhancing the solubility of chlorine by replacing some of the iodine with bromine to shrink the lattice parameter. We observed a suppression of light-induced phase segregation in films even at 100-sun illumination intensity and less than 4% degradation in semitransparent top cells after 1000 hours of maximum power point (MPP) operation at 60°C. By integrating these top cells with silicon bottom cells, we achieved a PCE of 27% in two-terminal monolithic tandems with an area of 1 square centimeter.
Replay of cortical spiking sequences during human memory retrieval

Human brain activity during memory Animal studies suggest that sequence replay of neuronal activity may underlie memory retrieval and consolidation. However, there is no direct evidence that the replay of spiking activity sequences is important for these processes in the human brain. Vaz et al. simultaneously recorded single-unit spikes, local field potential, and intracranial electroencephalography signals in the brain while participants performed a memory task. Sharp wave ripple oscillations in the temporal lobe cortex reflected bursts of neural spiking, and these bursts of spikes organized into sequences during memory formation. These sequences were replayed during successful memory retrieval. The extent of sequence replay during correct recall was related to the extent to which cortical spiking activity was coupled with ripples in the medial temporal lobe. Science, this issue p. 1131 Human single-unit and local field potential recordings of encoding-related activity sequences during long-term memory formation and retrieval are investigated. Episodic memory retrieval is thought to rely on the replay of past experiences, yet it remains unknown how human single-unit activity is temporally organized during episodic memory encoding and retrieval. We found that ripple oscillations in the human cortex reflect underlying bursts of single-unit spiking activity that are organized into memory-specific sequences. Spiking sequences occurred repeatedly during memory formation and were replayed during successful memory retrieval, and this replay was associated with ripples in the medial temporal lobe. Together, these data demonstrate that human episodic memory is encoded by specific sequences of neural activity and that memory recall involves reinstating this temporal order of activity.
Measurement of Cardiac Output using Bioimpedance Methd

Cardiac output (CO), in conjunction with hemoglobin concentration and arterial oxygen saturation are the cornerstones of oxygen transport. Cardiac output is the functional expression of cardiovascular performance and can be used to confirm the need for, or usefulness of treatment. Determination of cardiac output is an important procedure in interventional cardiology and also used in cardiothoracic surgery. Existing invasive cardiac output measurement methods are reasonably accurate, but their use is limited to the intensive care units. The risk of infection, blood loss or other complications associated with arterial catheters is also a matter of concern. Thus, a robust noninvasive alternative is considered to be desirable. Impedance cardiography (ICG) is one such method, which is noninvasive, easy to use, provides continuous CO measurement and has a better accuracy than the existing minimally invasive techniques. Traditionally, ICG involves applying a current field longitudinally across a segment of thorax by means of a constant magnitude, high frequency, and low amplitude alternating current. Most commonly implemented methods utilize the dependency of the peak systolic upslope of ΔZ(t) on the volumetric changes. However,change in the bioimpedance due velocity-induced blood resistivity variations has also been recently explored.This paper presents a detailed study of impedance cardiography as a tool for measuring the cardiac output and the issues related with it.
Preferred Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Characteristics of Instructors From Gifted Students Perspectives

The main aim of this study is to investigate the specific social, emotional and behavioral characteristics that the gifted students prefer to have their instructors’ during the first university year at Al Balqa Applied University. Study sample consisted of (60) gifted students (Male and female). A validated scale was developed to measure instructors’ characteristics. Results revealed that the means for the social characteristics were the highest, followed by the emotional characteristics, and then behavioral characteristics. The results also showed that there were statistical significance differences in emotional, social and behavioral characteristics according to the teacher’s gender. While female teachers were more interested in the emotional dimensions, male instructors were interested in social and behavioral characteristics. Further, there were significant differences in the subscales according to specialization in favor of Humanities Colleges.
