Constraints of health management of commercially cultured high valued fishes

This study was performed to understand the constraints of health management of commercially cultured high value fishes including gulsha (Mystus cavasius), shing (Heteropneustes fossilis) and koi (Anabas testudineus). One hundred farmers were interviewed through structured questionnaire in Mymensingh and Jashore districts. Most of the farmers practiced polyculture of gulsha and shing with carps and monoculture of koi high densities. All the three species suffered from a number of serious diseases under farming conditions. Most prevalent clinical signs of diseases were ulcerative hemorrhagic lesion, whitish appearance over body surface, ventral and mouth reddening and fin rot. The most susceptible species to disease was shing with a higher average mortality of 43.33% followed by gulsha (36.71%) and koi (38.76%). Diagnosis of disease was the single most important constraints of health management followed by lack of farmer’s knowledge on fish health and diseases, presence of huge number of poor quality medicine, ineffectiveness and indiscriminate use of such medicine, lack of farmer’s ability on application of medicine and absence of qualified fish health adviser. Lack of good quality fish seed, feed and water were identified as the main resource problems associated with fish health management. The study also identified a number of general constraints of farming of high value fish which included low price of fish, higher feed cost, and outbreak of diseases, high land tax, electricity bill and marketing problem. Further studies should focus on the development of strategies for better health management practices for sustainable commercial culture of high value fishes.
The relationship between y balance performance and hip strength in recreationally trained women

This study set one´s sight on the relationship between lower quarter y balance test (YBT-LQ) score with hip isometric strength with recreationally resistance-trained women. Utilizing dynamic balance as a screening tool for lower extremity injury risk has been proposed as a potential solution in injury prevention and injury assessment. A convenience sample of twenty young college females (22.3 ± 2.1 years) with a background in regular strength or plyometric training volunteered to participate in this study. The scores of YBT-LQ for each direction were calculated. A hand-held dynamometer was used to measure the maximum voluntary isometric strength of each participant´s unilateral hip extensors, flexors, adductors, abductors, internal and external rotation muscles. Significant lower normalized score was noted for the dominant limb (81.2 ± 11.7) when compared to non-dominant limb (83.6 ± 12.4) for anterior distance. For the composite score of YBT-LQ, a weak association was noted for hip extension and internal rotation, and moderate association was observed for hip flexion, adduction, and abduction. On the other hand, a strong association was observed between hip external rotators strength (r =0.516). Thus, the main finding of the current study was the strong association observed between hip external rotators strength and composite score of YBT-LQ.

Topical Treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Case Treated with A Glucantime-Based Lotion Experienced in Ecuador and A Mini Review

A 1.5-year-old male patient living in a remote community in the southeast of Manabí province of Ecuador was diagnosed as cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis. He was treated with a lotion, meglumine antimoniate Glucantime plus Merthiolate chloride, applying four to five times a day during eight weeks. The complete cure of lesion was obtained. This childhood-CL case did not respond against systemic therapy with Glucantime for the first cycle of regimen administered before the current topical treatment. Although systemic administration of pentavalent antimonials still remain as the first choice of treatment, it may often cause severe side effects, in addition to various disadvantages, such as painful injections, long-term regimens, difficulty to access health centers for patients living in remote/mountainous endemic areas. Therefore, as the alternatives, effective, easy-applicable and patient-compliant treatment is urgent need, especially for childhood-CL patients, who are highly vulnerable for toxic, systemic administrations of the drug. The current Glucantime plus Merthiolate lotion could be recommended as a future topical therapy of CLs, because of several advantages, easy-application, already-used drug as systemic therapy for the disease for a long time, more than 70 years.
Number of colposcopic cervical biopsies and diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: a prospective study

Objective : To define the relationship between the number of cervi-calcolposcopicbiopsiesperformedonapatientandthediagnosisof each grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Methods : Pa-tientswhounderwentacolposcopyandbiopsybetweenJanuaryand June 2018 in an Italian second-level check-point for cervical cancer screening were prospectively enrolled in the study. Cervical punch biopsies were performed on abnormal acetowhite areas that were identified by colposcopy and endocervical sampling was performed if needed. The number of cervical biopsies per patient was recorded alongwiththefollowingparameters: typeoftransformingzone,col-poscopicgrading,Papsmearresult,thepatient'sage,andendocervi- calsampling. Allparameterswereincludedinmultivariablemodels. The dependent variable was a diagnosis of CIN-0/1, CIN-2, or CIN-3. Results : Independentlyofothervariables,aPaptestresultofatypical squamous cells—cannot be excluded H-SIL (ASC-H), atypical glan-dular cells, not otherwise specified (AGC-NOS), or high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (H-SIL) is associated with reduced odds of a CIN-0 or CIN-1 diagnosis. More than one cervical biopsy per patient is associated with reduced odds of a CIN-0 or CIN-1 diagnosis whereas three or four biopsies is associated with increased odds of a CIN-2 diagnosis. A Pap test result of HSIL, ASC-H, or AGC-NOS is the only variable that increased the odds of a CIN-3 diagnosis. Discussion : Agreaternumberofcervicalbiopsiesperformedonapatient increases the likelihood of diagnosing a CIN-2 but has no effect on thediagnosesofCIN-0/1orCIN-3.
Measurements of Acetabular Angle among Sudanese Population: A Single Centre Study

Original Research Article Introduction: Acetabular angle is one of the most important osteometric measurements. It has very wide implications in clinical and medico legal practice. Objectives: to determine the acetabular angle in Sudanese population, to assess the sex influence, to compare these results with international results. Patients and Methods: the study was a prospective, descriptive, cross-sectional hospital based study, conducted at Omdurman Teaching Hospital during the period from March to June 2015, A total coverage of all patients who came for plain pelvic x -ray or IVU during this period were taken as study targets. Result: The mean of acetabular angle in males was (37.3) and in females was (35.2) with significant statistical difference. The maximum angle observed in male was 42 with 29 was the minimum. In females the maximum angle was 38 and 29 was the minimum. Conclusion: The anatomical difference in this study was significant. Sex influences geometrical measurements of the acetabulum; the male’s angles are greater than that of females. In comparing the acetabular angle of both sexes in Sudanese subjects with others there was a high statistical significant racial variation.

DESIGN, MODELING, AND CONTROL OF SOFT DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

Soft physical systems, be they elastic bodies, fluids, and compliant-bodied creatures, are ubiquitous in nature. Modeling and simulation of these systems with computer algorithms enable the creation of visually appealing animations, automated fabrication paradigms, and novel user interfaces and control mechanics to assist designers and engineers to develop new soft machines. This thesis develops computational methods to address the challenges emerged during the automation of the design, modeling, and control workflow supporting various soft dynamic systems. On the design/control side, we present a sketch-based design interface to enable non-expert users to design soft multicopters. Our system is endorsed by a data-driven algorithm to generate system identification and control policies given a novel shape prototype and rotor configurations. We show that our interactive system can automate the workflow of different soft multicopters’ design, simulation, and control with human designers involved in the loop. On the modeling side, we study the physical behaviors of fluidic systems from a local, collective perspective. We develop a prior-embedded graph network to uncover the local constraint relations underpinning a collective dynamic system such as particle fluid. We also proposed a simulation algorithm to model vortex dynamics with locally interacting Lagrangian elements. We demonstrate the efficacy of the two systems by learning, simulating and visualizing complicated dynamics of incompressible fluid.
Potential distribution models of Sechium tacaco (Pittier) C. Jeffrey in Costa Rica

Objective: Determine current and potential distribution of S. tacaco in Costa Rica with seven Species Distribution Models (SDM), in order to optimize the management of S. tacaco genetic resources, aimed at identifying patterns of geographic distribution and possible climatic adaptations allowing to have perspectives on their conservation and genetic breeding. Design/Methodology/Approach: 21 points of occurrence together with 19 bioclimatic variables and altitude were used to evaluate seven machine learning models and an assembly of these. Open-source libraries running in Rstudio were used. Results: Distribution models were inferred by the variables bio1, bio2, bio3, bio4, bio12, bio13, bio14, bio18 y bio19. The generalized additive model obtained the highest values ? of area under the curve (0.96) and True skill statistic (0.90), however, the seven models tested and the assembly showed adequate performance (AUC> 0.5 and TSS> 0.4). Bioclimatic variables related to temperature were the ones with the greatest contribution to the models and the main limitations in the distribution of S. tacaco. Study limitations/implications: Possibly a greater number of occurrence points are required to evaluate distribution models. Findings/Conclusions. Areas with high potential distribution suitability for S. tacaco are found in central valleys of Costa Rica, covering regions of the provinces of Alajuela, Cartago, San José and Puntarenas. These areas can be sources of germplasm for future conservation and breeding studies.
Risk Governance Mechanism of Food Safety Based on Product Reputation

Food matters public daily lives, it is both practically and theoretically imperative to enhance the governance of food safety risks. In this paper, a three-tier supply chain model involving government regulatory authorities, food producers and customers is established for designing a risk governance mechanism of food safety based on a reputation updating model. Meanwhile, the study also explores the influence of reputation on product quality and sales price for food producers, as well as the accuracy in testing product quality of government and the effectiveness of governmental regulations. The results show that product price is positively correlated with the reputation, and negatively related the government's rewards and punishments. When the government improves accuracy of food sample testing and enhances rewards and strengthens punishments for food producers, product quality can be effectively controlled, sales prices can be balanced, and producer’s profits can be improved. Finally, this paper provides insight on the risk governance of food safety through many observations. It is found that a relatively slow process for producers to improve company reputation by improving its product quality, but issues with food quality and safety afford a devastating blow to the company reputation once this information is released.
“Risk Factors and Bacteriological Study of Postoperative Wound Infection Following Caesarean Section”

Original Research Article Background: Post Caesarean wound infection is not only a leading cause of prolonged hospital stay but a major cause of the widespread avoid to Caesarean delivery in developing countries. In order to control and prevent post Caesarean wound infection in our environment there is the need to know the relative contribution of each aetiologic factor, the causative organism and sensitivity of the organisms to different antibiotics. Objective: To identify the risk factors and bacteriological study of postoperative wound infection following Caesarean section. Methods: A case control study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Shaheed Tazuddin Ahmad Medical College & Hospital, Gazipur, Bangladesh from November 2019 to March 2020 to find out the risk factors and bacteriological study of postoperative wound infection following Caesarean section. Fifty patients with post Caesarean wound infection were selected as cases. Fifty cases of Caesarean section during the study period without any infection during the study period and Caesarean section done in the same day of the cases were selected as control. Informed consent was taken from each patient. Data was collected by using a preferred set of questionnaire by analyzing the patient profile and management pattern of wound infection patients with caesarean section. Results: Most frequently isolated organism was E.coli 15(30.00%) followed by Staph. aureus 7(14.0%). Pseudomonas 6(12.0%). Citobacter 1(2.0%) and klebsiella 1(2.0%) while 20(40.0%) were sterile. Body max index >25(kg/m 2 ), anaemia (p=0.001), prolonged rupture of membrane (p=0.005), prolonged operation time (p=0.019), were found to be the risk factors for post Caesarean wound infection. Conclusions: Common indentified risk factors were increased body weight, diabetes, anaemia, irregular antenatal check-up, prolonged rupture of membrane. Effort should be given towards the prevention of prolonged rupture of fetal membrane, reduction of prolonged operation time by training of surgeons to improve their skill; use of potent antibiotics; early intervention, use of good surgical technique and to reduce intraoperative blood loss.
EFFECT OF NPK FERTILIZER AND SOME NATURAL EXTRACT TREATMENTS ON THE VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND FLOWERING OF AFRICAN MARIGOLD (TAGETES ERECTA L. VAR. DWARF CHRYSANTHEMUM)

A pot experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2017 and 2018 at the Nursery of the Ornamental Plants Research Department, Horticultural Research Institute, Giza, Egypt, to investigate the effect of applying NPK fertilization at the rates of zero and 2 g/pot as a soil drench and natural extracts of seaweed, Moringa oleifera leaves and dry yeast thrice as a foliar application at concentrations of zero, 1 and 2 g/l individually or in combination with NPK fertilizer on vegetative growth and flowering characteristics of African marigold (Tagetes erecta L. var dwarf chrysanthemum). Results revealed that supplying plants with NPK at 2 g/pot in combination with seaweed extract at 2 g/l or applying such extract individually significantly stimulated vegetative growth parameters as well as the rooting parameters. Moreover, seaweed extract promoted some flower characteristics. However, the most effective treatments to achieve the significantly earliest flowering in both seasons was concomitant to plants supplied with NPK at 2 g/pot combined with yeast extract at 2 g/l, followed by those treated with the same extract alone when compared to control.
Clinics in Surgery Step-by-Step Procedure to Test Photoelectric Dye-Coupled Polyethylene Film as Retinal Prosthesis to Induce Light-Evoked Spikes in Isolated Retinal Dystrophic Tissue of rd1 Mice

Purpose: Multielectrode array recording for electric activity in cardiac and neuronal cells has been developed as preclinical tests for drug screening. This study aims to establish an in vitro assay system, using the multielectrode array, to record light-evoked spikes in isolated degenerative retinal tissues of retinal dystrophic rd1 mouse, as a preclinical test to examine the efficacy of photoelectric dye-coupled thin film retinal prosthesis. Methods: Light-evoked spike response was tested for 1 min at first step in the isolated degenerative retinal tissue of retinal dystrophic rd1 mouse only on the multielectrode array, tested in the same retinal tissue overlain with a plain control film for light-off and light-on 10 min each at second step, and tested in the same tissue overlain with a dye-coupled film at third step. The retinal tissues which showed light-evoked response at first or second step were not used for evaluation at third step. Results: Residual light-evoked spikes were recorded at first or second step in 18 of 35 retinal tissues (51%) at 6 weeks of the age in rd1 mice, 16 of 44 tissues (36%) at 7 weeks, and 10 of 39 tissues (25%) at 8 weeks. At third step, light-evoked spikes were recorded with dye-coupled films in 8 of 17 retinal tissues (47%) at 6 weeks, 10 of 28 tissues (35%) at 7 weeks, and 8 of 29 tissues (27%) at 8 weeks. Conclusion: A step-by-step procedure with internal control was established to measure light-evoked spikes by the multielectrode array in the isolated degenerative retinal tissue to evaluate photoelectric dye-coupled thin films. This preclinical study would present one line of evidence for the efficacy of photoelectric dye-coupled thin film retinal prosthesis towards a first-in-human clinical trial.
Timing of Market News

This work examines hedge fund managers’ timing skills by exploring whether they can time market news. Market news is constructed by decomposing unexpected market returns into cash-flow and discount-rate shocks. We find strong evidence of the timing of market news, especially cash-flow timing, and bootstrap analyses reveal that the timing of market cash flow and discount rate news by top-sorted timers cannot be attributed to pure luck. Out-of-sample estimates show that top cash-flow (discount-rate) timers outperform bottom timers by 3.168 to 3.768 per cent (1.80-2.436%) per annum on a risk-adjusted basis. Cash-flow news provides much more performance persistence than discount-rate news. Differentiating between the timing of and reaction to market news delivers useful results. These findings highlight the importance of market news in investment decisions.
