REDESCRIPTION AND HISTOPATHOLOGY OF MYXOBOLUS NANOKIENSIS AND M. SLENDRII INFECTING GILLS OF FINGERLINGS OF INDIAN MAJOR CARPS

During the present study, two myxosporean species, M. nanokiensis Kaur et al., (2015) and M. slendrii Kaur and Singh (2010) have been described from the gills of Cirrhinus mrigala Hamilton vern. mrigal and Labeo rohita Hamilton vern. rohu at nursery ponds located in village Fagan majra, District Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India. Earlier, M. nanokiensis were described from L. rohita and M. slendrii from C. mrigala. 40 speciemens of Labeo rohita and 40 specimens of Cirrhinus mrigala were examined from November 2014 to April 2015. Out of which 33 and 21 fishes were infected respectively. The age of the fish was recorded as 2-3 months and length of the fish was 4-4.5 cm. The prevalence rate was more in M. nanokiensis (82.5%) than M. slendrii (52.5%). The histological effects of the pathogen were observed by light microscopy. The plasmodia of M. nanokiensis were located in the fine blood capillaries at the centre of gill lamella and plasmodia of M. slendrii were located located within the arteries at the tip of the gill filaments. M. nanokiensis was highly pathogenic than M. slendrii. The plasmodia of M. nanokiensis were typed in “A” category caused complete necrosis of cellular elements and degeneration of gill lamellae and M. slendrii also in “A” category caused total destruction of the gill filament. The gill plasmodial index (GPI) was 1 for both species.
Enhancing alcohol screening and brief intervention among people receiving opioid agonist treatment: qualitative study in primary care

Purpose Problem alcohol use (PAU) is common and associated with considerable adverse outcomes among patients receiving opioid agonist treatment (OAT). The purpose of this paper is to describe a qualitative feasibility assessment of a primary care-based complex intervention to promote screening and brief intervention for PAU, which also aims to examine acceptability and potential effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 patients and eight general practitioners (GPs) who had been purposively sampled from practices that had participated in the feasibility study. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Findings Six key themes were identified. While all GPs found the intervention informative and feasible, most considered it challenging to incorporate into practice. Barriers included time constraints, and overlooking and underestimating PAU among this cohort of patients. However, the intervention was considered potentially deliverable and acceptable in practice. Patients reported that (in the absence of the intervention) their use of alcohol was rarely discussed with their GP, and were reticent to initiate conversations on their alcohol use for fear of having their methadone dose reduced. Research limitations/impelications Although a complex intervention to enhance alcohol screening and brief intervention among primary care patients attending for OAT is likely to be feasible and acceptable, time constraints and patients’ reticence to discuss alcohol as well as GPs underestimating patients’ alcohol problems is a barrier to consistent, regular and accurate screening by GPs. Future research by way of a definitive efficacy trial informed by the findings of this study and the Psychosocial INTerventions for Alcohol quantitative data is a priority. Originality/value To the best of the knowledge, this is the first qualitative study to examine the capability of primary care to address PAU among patients receiving OAT.
Hand Hygiene Poses Recognition with RGB-D Videos

Hand hygiene is the most effective way in preventing the health care-associated infection. In this work, we propose to investigate the automatic recognition of the hand hygiene poses with RGB-D videos. Different classifiers are experimented with the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features extracted from the hand regions. With a frame-level classification rate of more than 95%, and with 100% video-level classification rate, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for recognizing these hand hygiene poses. Also, we demonstrate that using the temporal information, and combining the color with depth information can improve the recognition accuracy.
Adoption of Multiagent System Methodology for Remote Sensing Image

-Image classification involves classifying the image based on the regions. But, in remote-sensing image classification, the mixed pixels pose a major problem. The subpixel spatial attribution of the pixel is unknown due to the problem of mixed pixel. A fine resolution map of class labels can be obtained by subpixel mapping technique based on multiagent system. Multiagent system effectively solves the problems of mixed pixel namely-Boundary mixed pixels and Linear mixed pixels. Multi agent system includes three agents namely-mixed pixel detection agent, subpixel mapping agent, and decision agent. Mixed pixel detection agent finds the type of mixed pixel present in an image. Based on identified mixed pixel corresponding mixed pixel mapping agent is applied. Decision agent resolves the conflicts between the mixed pixel detection agent and subpixel mapping agent. To evaluate the performance of subpixel mapping algorithm the experiments with artificial images and remote-sensing images are proposed.
Hyperandrogenism, menstrual irregularities and polycystic ovary syndrome : impact on female reproductive and metabolic health from early adulthood until menopause

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder of women of reproductive age, affecting 5–18% of them. Menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenemia and obesity are key features in PCOS and they are suggested to be the most important metabolic risks linked to PCOS, but their respective roles are still under debate. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is involved in sexual differentiation and follicle growth and its level is increased in women with PCOS. The aims of this project were to clarify the significance of menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenemia and serum levels of AMH in adolescence as predictive factors of the syndrome and to investigate the respective roles of obesity and hyperandrogenism as metabolic risk factors in women with PCOS from adolescence to late adulthood. The study populations were the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (N=3373 women) and a Nordic population including 1553 women with PCOS and 448 controls. At the age of 16 years, women with menstrual irregularities were more hyperandrogenic compared with women with normal menstrual cycles. Serum AMH levels correlated positively with those of testosterone at this age. They were higher in adolescents with menstrual irregularities compared with those with regular cycles and in women with hirsutism or PCOS at the age of 26 years. However, AMH was not a good marker of metabolic abnormalities in adolescence or a reliable tool to predict PCOS in later life. Androgen levels were higher in women with PCOS throughout life compared with controls. The parameters that best predicted PCOS at all ages were the free androgen index, and androstenedione. Women with PCOS exhibited increased abdominal obesity, altered insulin metabolism, worse lipid profiles and higher blood pressure from early adulthood until menopause compared with controls. The highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome was detected in obese and hyperandrogenic women with PCOS. In conclusion, irregular menstrual cycles, identified by a simple question at adolescence, represent a good marker of hyperandrogenemia, later metabolic risks and development of PCOS. Due to the persistence of hyperandrogenism and metabolic alterations, the treatment of PCOS should be focused on prevention and treatment of these problems as early as in adolescence in order to decrease future morbidity.
DIETARY SALT INTAKE: HISTORY, ASSESSMENT, AND BENEFIT IN HYPERTENSIVE TREATMENT

ABSTRACT Multiple lines of investigation including genetic, epidemiological, and interventional studies have demonstrated consistently a positive relationship between salt intake, blood pressure (BP) increment, and cardiovascular consequences. In addition, it has been documented that excessive salt intake can be attributed to various health complications such as asthma, osteoporosis, obesity, and gastric cancer. On the contrary, a reduction in salt intake has been shown to reduce BP and improve health outcomes, although the evidence is not completely unequivocal. Despite this discrepancy, a lowsodium diet is widely being recommended to all hypertensive patients in particular, as evidence against its efficacy in conjunction with optimum hypertensive treatment is well established. Determination of salt intake among hypertensive patients is important since dietary salt restriction had been proven to improve BP control in conjunction with optimum pharmacological management. Various methods have been used to estimate sodium intake includes 24-hrs urinary sodium, overnight urinary sodium, spot urinary sodium/creatinine ratio, and dietary survey methods. Reducing population salt intake has been proven to be beneficial, preventing millions of deaths from cardiovascular disease and stroke, and reducing the burden on health services. Many individual countries around the globe have already taken action against reducing population salt intake. These strategies were either led by government, nongovernment organizations, or industry. Keywords: Dietary sodium, Salt, Hypertension, Sodium measurement, Cost-effectiveness.
A Review on Depression Detection Among Adolescent by Face

Depression has become one of the most common mental illnesses in the past decade, affecting millions of patients and their families. However, the methods of diagnosing depression almost exclusively rely on questionnaire-based interviews and clinical judgments of symptom severity, which are highly dependent on doctors’ experience and makes it a labor-intensive work. Our study aims to develop an objective and convenient method to assist depression detection using facial features in adolescent. Most of the adolescent are totally unaware that they may be having depression. If at all they are aware of it, some adolescents conceal their depression from everyone. So, an automated system is required that will pick out the adolescents who are dealing with depression. In this paper, different research work focused for detecting depression are discussed.
REAL-TIME MULTI VIEW FACE DETECTION AND POSE ESTIMATION

: In this paper we are going to handle multi view face detection and pose estimation in such a way that it works better in all environmental conditions and extreme positions. Face detection has been one of the fundamental technologies to enable natural human-computer interaction. Advancement in computer technology has made possible to evoke new image processing applications in field of face detection and recognizing human.it is important in variety of applications such as security cameras, video surveillance systems, robot vision.it can achieve impressive performance on face detection, a recent study shows that face detection can be further improved by using deep learning, leveraging the high capacity of deep convolution networks. That is the explicit mechanism to handle occlusions, the face detector therefore fails to detect faces with heavy occlusions and extreme poses. While frontal face detection has been largely considered as a solved problem, whereas multi view face detection remains a challenging task due to dramatic appearance changes under various poses, illuminations and expression conditions, various poses and appearance changes are the major tasks in multi view face detection.

A Modern authorized de-duplication method on hybrid cloud

: Data compression techniques are widely used in order to avoid repeated data’s which occupy large amount of space and bandwidth. Data duplication plays a vital role on data compression by effectively eradicate the duplicate copies of data. A care should be taken on data confidentially and privacy while doing the data de-duplication, to achieve this convergent encryption technique is proposed by encrypting the data before outsourcing. Initially for secure data transmission, problem of authorized data de-duplication is an issue. Considering the traditional methods data duplication must be checked within the data itself. We implement the new de-duplication constructions by supporting duplication check on data with secure authorization in hybrid cloud architecture. Our proposed system implies level of privacy and secure of sensitive data by implementing a new de-duplication security model. To ensure the efficiency of our proposed system various duplication checking and testing experiment are conducted using our prototype. As a result the new system increases the authorization and secure level in maximum when compared to the tradition systems.

Review of Techniques for Detecting Video Forgeries

— In today’s fast and speedy life the role of multimedia has increased in considerable manner, in which the use of digital images and videos has increased. With the availability of advance digital video processing technologies, various kinds of videos are produced from different perspectives. In Legal cases in court hearings it’s observed that changes done have been made to accept videos from digital cameras as witnesses. As a result there is a growing interest in forensic analysis of video content where the integrity of digital images and videos need to be checked. In this respect it has become essential to analyze whether a particular video is an original-real one or one that has been tampered using any technique. As video editing techniques are getting very complicated, modified videos are hard to detect. However, when a video is modified, some of its basic properties get changed. Then to detect those changes it is needed to use complex and video processing techniques and algorithms, in this paper we review the various existing methods that are used to find whether the video is real one or not.
A TRAFFIC REDUNDANCY ELIMINATION SYSTEM USING PREDICTIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR CLOUD BANDWIDTH AND COST REDUCTION

: Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing resources, everything from applications to data centers over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis. Here, bandwidth reduction is an issue. Hence a new traffic redundancy elimination scheme was designed for reducing cloud bandwidth and costs. In this paper, we introduce an end-to end traffic redundancy elimination technique for cloud computing clients using predictive acknowledgements (ACK). Traffic redundancy elimination in cloud needs to make sagacious use of cloud resources so that the bandwidth cost is reduced along with the cost incurred by TRE operation and for efficient storage. The key vantage of this scheme is the ability to dispose the cloud-server TRE effort to the end customers. This solution does not require to continuously uphold the clients status. In Predictive ACK solution, client uses freshly received chunks to identify formerly received chunks, which are used as suitable predictors to upcoming transmitted chunks.
SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR CPU/GPU NODE IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING

Over the past two decades, advancements in microelectronic technology have resulted in the availability of fast, inexpensive processors, and advancements in communication technology have resulted in the availability of cost effective and highly efficient computer method for dynamically scheduling applications running on heterogeneous platforms in order to maximize overall throughput. The key to our approach is accurately estimating when an application would finish execution on a given device based on historical runtime information, allowing us to networks. An essential component of effective use of distributed systems is proper task placement or scheduling. To produce high-quality schedules, scheduling algorithms require underlying support mechanisms that provide information describing the distributed system. We present a make scheduling decisions that are both globally and locally efficient. We evaluate our approach with a set of applications running on a system with a multi-core CPU and a discrete GPU.
