Risk factors for unpleasant paresthesiae induced by paresthesiae - producing deep brain stimulation

A estimulacao cerebral profunda (ECP) de sitios cuja estimulacao elicita parestesia (nucleo talâmico ventrocaudal - VC, lemnisco medial - LM e capsula interna - CI) e um dos poucos metodos atualmente disponiveis para o tratamento do elemento constante da dor por injuria neural (DIN). Revendo os primeiros 60 pacientes com DIN submetidos a ECP na Division of Neurosurgery, Toronto Hospital, University of Toronto, no periodo 1978/ 1991, observamos que 6 destes pacientes apresentaram parestesia dolorosa a estimulacao de VC/LM/ CI, prevenindo a definitiva implantacao do sistema em todos eles e totalizando 15% (6 dentre 40) das falhas em nossa serie. Em uma tentativa de se melhorar a selecao de pacientes para a ECP e, com isto, seus resultados globais, revimos nossos casos, considerando uma serie de parâmetros, de modo a determinar os fatores de risco para parestesia dolorosa. Os resultados mostraram que esta resposta a estimulacao de VC/LM/CI e exclusiva de pacientes com dor central cerebral, secundaria a lesao supratentorial, apresentando dor evocada como parte do quadro doloroso. Nem todos os pacientes com estas caracteristicas, porem, apresentavam parestesia dolorosa. O estudo comparativo destes dois subgrupos (dor central cerebral + dor evocada + parestesia dolorosa e dor central cerebral + dor evocada + parestesia dolorosa) permitiu definir que: 1. Parestesia dolorosa a estimulacao da coluna dorsal da medula espinhal, lesao restrita ao talamo a tomografia computorizada e dor intermitente como parte do quadro doloroso sao fatores de risco maiores para parestesia dolorosa a estimulacao de VC / LM / Cl; 2. Alodinia ao frio ou hiperpatia isoladamente e ausencia de deficit sensitivo ao exame neurologico sao fatores de risco menores; e 3. Idade, sexo, duracao da dor, qualidade da dor constante, dimensoes da lesao causal e sitio (VC, LM ou Cl) ou tipo (macro ou microeletrodo) da exploracao cirurgica nao parecem ser fatores de risco relevantes. O autor sugere tambem os provaveis mecanismos fisiopatologicos envolvidos na genese da parestesia dolorosa a estimulacao de VC / LM / Cl.

The advantages of collimator optimization for intensity modulated radiation therapy

Purpose: The goal of this study was to improve dosimetry for pelvic, head and neck and other cancers with aspherical planning target volumes (PTV) using collimator optimization for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Methods: A retroactive study on the effects of collimator optimization of 20 patients was done by comparing collimator angles from optimized plans in Eclipse version 11.0. Keeping all other parameters equal, plans were created with four collimator techniques: CA 0 , all fields have collimators set to 0°, CA­ E , using the Eclipse collimator optimization, CA A­, minimizing the area of the jaws around the PTV, and CA X , minimizing the x-jaw gap. The minimum area and the minimum x-jaw angles were found by evaluating each field beam’s eye view of the PTV with ImageJ and finding the desired parameters with a custom script. The evaluation of the plans included the monitor units (MU), the maximum dose of the plan, the maximum dose to organs at risk (OAR), the conformity index (CI) and the number of split fields. Results : Compared to the CA 0 plans, the monitor units decreased on average by 6% for the CA X with a p-value of 0.01 from an ANOVA test. The average maximum dose stayed within 1.1% between all four methods with the lowest being CA X . The maximum dose to the most at risk organ was best spared by the CA A , which decreased by 0.62% from the CA 0 . Minimizing the x-jaws significantly reduced the number of split field from 61 to 37. Conclusion: In every field tested the CA X optimization produced as good or superior results than the other three techniques. For aspherical PTVs, CA X on average reduced the number of split fields, the maximum dose, minimized the dose to the surrounding OAR, and reduced the MU all while achieving the same control of the PTV.

RANCANG BANGUN APLIKASI GENERATOR MXML DARI EVENT LOGS BEREKSTENSI TXT DAN LOG

Event logs merupakan catatan history yang berisi data urutan aktivitas dari sebuah kasus yang telah dieksekusi oleh sebuah sistem informasi. Event logs tersebut dapat menjadi informasi yang berharga dengan suatu teknik yang disebut process mining. Dengan teknik ini, proses bisnis dari sebuah perusahaan dapat dimodelkan dari event logs-nya. Dengan demikian, perusahaan dapat melakukan evaluasi pada proses bisnis yang ada untuk mencapai proses bisnis yang diharapkan. Namun demikian, event logs tidak memiliki suatu standar baku yang harus diikuti antara suatu sistem informasi dengan sistem informasi lainnya sehingga terdapat perbedaan content dan format. Selain itu, beragam jenis algoritma process mining yang digunakan juga menambah tingkat kompleksitas dari teknik ini. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk merepresentasikan event logs kedalam suatu standar yang fleksibel, yaitu XML. Metode pengerjaan tugas akhir ini yaitu melakukan studi literatur jurnal ilmiah. Kemudian melakukan standarisasi event logs. Setelah itu, dilakukan perancangan dan pembangunan aplikasi generator. Dan pada bagian akhir akan dilakukan pengujian verifikasi fungsi aplikasi dan validasi keluaran dari aplikasi. Tugas akhir ini menghasilkan sebuah aplikasi generator yang dapat mengonversi event logs dari berbagai format (.log, .txt) ke standar XML yang dinamakan Mining XML (MXML). Studi kasus yang digunakan yaitu event logs dari ERP. Hasil dari tugas akhir ini adalah menghasilkan keluaran log dalam bentuk MXML yang dapat dijadikan masukan untuk teknik process mining. Hasil keluaran dari aplikasi ini divalidasi dengan program process mining ProM dan menunjukkan bahwa hasil keluaran valid dan dapat digunakan untuk process mining. Uji coba kepada standar elemen metamodel juga menunjukkan bahwa standar metamodel dibutuhkan untuk dapat dibaca pada process mining.

Représentations temporelles et décision dans la relation de conseil en orientation scolaire

Cet article propose une reflexion sur les relations entre les representations temporelles et la decision dans la pratique du conseil, considere comme une deliberation pour agir. Si le temps est une donnee exterieure au consultant comme au conseiller, il est egalement un construit psychologique et social qui met en jeu des capacites cognitives et des composantes affectives. Apres avoir defini la notion de representations temporelles, nous examinerons de quelles facons elles peuvent intervenir dans le processus de decision. Nous proposerons enfin de distinguer trois modes de travail des representations temporelles dans le conseil en fonction des finalites de l’intervention.
Pediatric Multilocular Cystic Nephroma Extending into the Renal Pelvis and Ureter

In this case-report, we present a 16-month-old girl with a 10x15 cm multilocular cystic renal tumor extending into the renal pelvis and proximal ureter on the right side demonstrated on magnetic resonance imaging. Nephrectomy was performed. The pathology was completely consistent with MCN.
Phenotypic and genotypic variations in Candida albicans isolates from Romanian patients

Abstract Background: During the last two decades a major increase in the proportion of severe fungal infections has been noted due to the excessive use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, catheters, and a growing number of immunocompromised patients. Objectives: This is the first investigation providing complete data regarding the phenotypic and genotypic profiles of Candida albicans (C. albicans) isolates in Romanian patients. Methods: We investigated 301 isolates in terms of genotype determination (G), resistogram (R), phospholipase activity (Pl), haemolysis (Hl), proteinase activity (Pt), and biofilm formation (BF). Results: The analyzed isolates of C. albicans showed low values for Pt (61.73%), Hl (95.49%), and BF (60.71%), and did not present any Pl activity (92.23%). More than half of the investigated samples were genotype A with 450 bp (52.92%) and the majority (86.19%) were resistant to sodium selenite (A), boric acid (B), sodium periodate (D) and silver nitrate (E), but sensitive to cetrimide (-). One-way ANOVA analysis revealed significant effects of the infection site on biofilm formation (p = 0.0137) and no significant correlation was found between the genotype (A, B, C) and the infection site (p =0.449). Conclusions: Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that C. albicans isolates in Romanian patients exhibit different genotypic and phenotypic patterns, and no significant correlations between genotype and infection site could be observed.
Classificação do Gênero Musical Utilizando Redes Neurais Artificiais

A quantidade de arquivos de audio disponivel na internet e em colecoes pessoais vem crescendo rapidamente motivado principalmente pelo desenvolvimento de formatos de compactacao, como o MP3, o aumento da capacidade e a popularizacao de dispositivos para transmissao de dados na internet. Numa colecao com grande numero de arquivos, sistemas automaticos de classificacao e busca baseados no conteudo do audio sao muito importantes para permitir acesso adequado aos dados desejados, uma vez que os arquivos nao carregam explicitamente essa informacao, e a busca “manual” em um grande conjunto de sinais pode tornar-se exaustiva. Este trabalho propoe a aplicacao de tecnicas de processamento de sinais para a extracao de caracteristicas de arquivos de audio digital visando a classificacao em generos musicais. Caracteristicas como os coeficientes mel-cepstrais, a taxa de cruzamento por zero e o histograma ritmico sao estimadas e utilizadas para alimentar um classificador neural supervisionado (na arquitetura perceptron de multiplas camadas). Atraves da metodologia proposta, elevados indices de acerto na classificacao foram obtidos.
IMAGE TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

The key obstacle to communicating images over wireless sensor networks has been the lack of suitable processing architecture and communication strategies to deal with the large volume of data. High packet error rates and the need for retransmission make it inefficient in terms of energy and bandwidth. This paper presents novel architecture and protocol for energy efficient image processing and communication over wireless sensor networks. Practical results show the effectiveness of these approaches to make image communication over wireless sensor networks feasible, reliable and efficient. Keywords—Wireless sensor networks, object extraction, object detection, image communication. ----------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------

Effects of camera aperture correction on keying of broadcast video

This contribution discusses the effects of camera aperture correction in broadcast video on colour-based keying. The aperture correction is used to 'sharpen' an image and is one element that distinguishes the 'TV-look' from 'film-look'. If this sharpening is done excessively, as is the case in many TV productions then this significantly shifts the colours around object boundaries with high contrast. This paper discusses these effects and their impact on keying and describes a simple low-pass filter to compensate for them. Tests with two segmentation algorithms show that the proposed compensation is effectively decreasing the keying artefacts on object boundaries. (5 pages)
The Therapeutic Benefits of Essential Oils

Since ancient times, essential oils are recognized for their medicinal value and they are very interesting and powerful natural plant products. They continue to be of paramount importance until the present day. Essential oils have been used as perfumes, flavors for foods and beverages, or to heal both body and mind for thousands of years (Baris et al., 2006; Margaris et al., 1982; Tisserand, 1997; Wei & Shibamoto 2010). Record findings in Mesopotamia, China, India, Persia and ancient Egypt show their uses for many treatments in various forms. For example, in the ancient Egypt, the population extracted oils by infusion. Later; Greeks and Romans used distillation and thus gave aromatic plants an additional value. With the advent of Islamic civilization, extraction techniques have been further refined. In the era of the Renaissance, Europeans have taken over the task and with the development of science the composition and the nature of essential oils have been well established and studied (Burt, 2004; Peeyush et al., 2011; Steven, 2010; Suaib et al., 2007). Nowadays, peppermint, lavender, geranium, eucalyptus, rose, bergamot, sandalwood and chamomile essential oils are the most frequently traded ones.
Methyl 3-[(Z)-1-(thia­zol-2-yl)ethyl­idene]dithio­carbazate

Crystals of the title compound, C7H9N3S3, were obtained from a condensation reaction of methyl dithio­carbazate and 2-acetyl­thia­zole. The planar mol­ecule assumes a Z configuration; the thia­zole ring and dithio­carbazate group are located on the same side of the N=C bond, involving an N—H⋯N intra­molecular hydrogen bond. C—H⋯π inter­actions between adjacent mol­ecules help to stabilize the crystal structure.
