Changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular health in the workplace: a case study

Background Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality, contributing a higher proportion of CV risk compared to other traditionally recognised risk factors. However, CRF is not included in usual workplace wellness protocols and, as such, employers are not aware of the importance of this factor. Aim The aim of this case study was to explore the effect of a 12-week exercise intervention programme on CRF, CV health and medical health claims in a male participant who was employed by a corporate company with existing chronic diseases. Findings Health outcome measures improved after the 12-week exercise intervention programme. CRF showed the greatest improvement and medical health claims were lowered during the three-month post-intervention period. Implications CRF should be included as a health outcome measure in worksite wellness programmes and monitored.

Global Journal of Foreign Language Teaching

This paper reflects the results of the investigation into pragmatic potential of onomatopoeia as a part of children’s movies. The enquiry into this subject was conducted within the framework of the project devoted to the evolution and functioning of language within films for children. The paper includes the analysis of onomatopoeia through language development aspects, stylistic and pragmatic analysis. In this regard our attention is focused on the semantic, pragmatic and linguistic characteristics of onomatopoeia. It has been suggested that the onomatopoeia performs different functions within the children’s movies acting as a strong expressive component, reflecting the level of speech development, conveying emotions, describing nature, supporting musical mood in songs, attracts child’s attention to the most important character or event, forming new hybrid words to convey extra connotations, participating in wordplay such as pun or parody, developing mental activity, linguistic intuition and social communicative skills.

UTILIZATION OF MUNG BEAN (VIGNA RADIATE, LINNAEUS) AS A PROTEIN SOURCE IN EXPERIMENTAL DIETS FOR FRY NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS): EFFECTS ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, FEED UTILIZATION AND APPARENT DIGESTIBILITY CO-EFFICIENCY

Seven experimental diets (30% crude protein and 402.48±1.44 kcal/100g GE) were formulated to replace 0.0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 100% of soybean meal protein (SBM) as plant protein source by mung bean seed (MBS). Nile tilapia fry with an average initial weight (0.5±0.09 g/fish) were stocked at a rate of 15 fry/fiber glass tank (7 experimental diets x 3 replicates (21 fiber glass tanks)) and fed with those diets for 14 weeks to evaluate the growth performance, feed utilization and apparent digestibility co-efficient under the indoor conditions. Results showed significant decrease (P<0.05) in growth performance with increasing level of MBS up to 15%. The highest values of dry matter, protein, fat and energy intakes were recorded by the control and 15% MBS group with significant differences (P<0.05) compared with the other treatments groups. On the other hand, significant differences (P<0.05) among groups for ADC% of CP, EE, NFE, DM and energy were observed with increasing rate of MBS more than 15%. There are significantly differences (P<0.05) for FCR, but contrary no significant differences for FER among all the groups. Apparently, there were no effect for all levels of MBS on chemical compassion (CP, DM, EE, GE and HSI) and survival rate. Incorporation of raw MBS more than 15% affected adversely on growth performance, feed utilization and ADC%. This may be due to anti-nutritional factors contents of MBS.
Application value of high-quality nursing in patients with severe pneumonia under the treatment of extra corporeal membrane oxygenation

Objective: To explore the application value of high-quality nursing in patients with severe pneumonia under the treatment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: A total of 100 patients with severe pneumonia admitted to our hospital within five years were selected, and assigned to a study group (n=52) and a control group (n=48). The control group was nursed under a routine nursing mode when treated with ECMO, while the study group was nursed under a high-quality nursing mode when treated with ECMO. The following aspects of the two groups were evaluated and recorded: Clinical indexes and blood gas analysis indexes before and after nursing intervention and complication rates after treatment. The anxiety and depression of the two groups were assessed using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS), respectively; and their pulmonary infection and prognosis were assessed based on clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), respectively. In addition, the nursing satisfaction of patients was assessed using a self-made Nursing Satisfaction Questionnaire from our hospital, and life quality of patients was assessed by referring to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Results: After nursing, the control group performed significantly better than the control group in clinical indexes and blood gas indexes (all P<0.05). The study group had significantly lower CPIS, APACHE II, SAS and SDS scores, and significantly higher life quality scores than the control group (all P<0.05). Furthermore, after nursing, the study group showed significantly higher nursing satisfaction and significantly lower overall complication rates than the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: High-quality nursing is effective for patients with severe pneumonia under the treatment of ECMO, because it can effectively, reduce complications during treatment, and stabilize vital signs of patients.
The Relationship Between Clopidogrel Gene Polymorphism to Progressive Stroke or Recurrence

Background: Progressive stroke is big problem what's bothering neurophysicians. CYP2C19 gene metabolism test has become more and more popular and even the routine examination of cerebral infarction patients. Objective: To evaluate the correlation of CYP2C19 gene metabolic typing, antiplatelet drug therapy to progressive stroke; to evaluate the relationship between secondary prevention compliance to recurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Method: Through single center and retrospectivly information collected and analyze, collect the information of gene detection of CYP2C19 in patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted within 7 days from 2012 to 2016 and used clopidogrel, antiplatelet drug therapy, past history and others to analyze the related factors to progressive stroke; through regular telephone or outpatient follow-up to evaluate the relationship between secondary prevention compliance to recurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Result: A total of 436 patients were collected. CYP2C19 fast metabolism type (*1/*1) accounted for 39.22%, medium metabolism type (*1/*2 and *1/*3) 50.92%, slow metabolism type 9.86%(*2/*3, *2/*2 and *3/*3). Patients with good secondary prevention compliance had fewer cardiovascular and cerebrovascular recurrence events. There’s no significant correlation between the choice of loading dose of clopidogrel or combination of antiplatelet therapy to progressive stroke and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events after 3 years of stroke.

A literature survey: Privacy-preserving Content-based Image Retrieval system in Cloud Computing Mechanism

Content-based picture recovery (CBIR) applications have been quickly created alongside the expansion in the amount, accessibility and significance of pictures in our every day life. Be that as it may, the wide arrangement of CBIR plan has been restricted by its the extreme calculation and capacity prerequisite. In this paper, we propose a security safeguarding content-based picture recovery conspire, which permits the information proprietor to outsource the picture database and CBIR administration to the cloud, without uncovering the genuine substance of the database to the cloud server. Neighborhood components are used to speak to the pictures, and earth mover's separation (EMD) is utilized to assess the comparability of pictures. The EMD calculation is basically a direct programming (LP) issue. The proposed plot changes the EMD issue in a manner that the cloud server can comprehend it without taking in the delicate data. Furthermore, neighborhood touchy hash (LSH) is used to enhance the pursuit proficiency. The security investigation and tests demonstrate the security and productivity of the proposed plot.
Aspirin Improves Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Atherosclerosis through Regulation of the PPARδ-AMPK-PGC-1α Pathway in Dyslipidemic Conditions

This study is aimed at elucidating how aspirin could systemically and simultaneously normalize nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and atherosclerosis through both in vitro and in vivo studies in hyperlipidemic conditions. We evaluated the effects and mechanism of aspirin on the levels of various biomarkers related to NAFLD, atherosclerosis, and oxidative phosphorylation in cells and animals of hyperlipidemic conditions. The protein levels of biomarkers (PPARδ, AMPK, and PGC-1α) involved in oxidative phosphorylation in both the vascular endothelial and liver cells were elevated by the aspirin in hyperlipidemic condition. Also in the stimulation pathway of oxidative phosphorylation by aspirin, PPARδ was a superior regulator than AMPK and PGC-1α in HepG2 cells. In the vascular endothelial cells, the phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase level was increased by the treatment. The protein levels of biomarkers related to lipid synthesis were decreased by the treatment in the liver cells. In rabbits administered with cholesterol diet, the levels of triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, and alanine amino transferase in serums were ameliorated by the aspirin treatment, the levels of ATP and TNFα were increased or decreased, respectively, by the aspirin in liver and aorta tissues, and mannose receptor and C-C chemokine receptor type 2 levels were increased or decreased by the aspirin in spleen, respectively. The elevated levels of macrophage antigen, angiotensin II type1 receptor, and lipid accumulation were decreased in both the liver and aorta tissues in the aspirin-treated group. In conclusion, aspirin can systemically and simultaneously ameliorate NAFLD and atherosclerosis by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis and inflammation and by elevating catabolic metabolism through the activation of the PPARδ-AMPK-PGC-1α pathway. Furthermore, aspirin may normalize atherosclerosis and NAFLD by modulating the mannose receptor and CCR2 in macrophages.
The Lateral Line: Augmenting Spatiotemporal Perception with a Tactile Interface

In this paper we describe a concept for artificially supplementing peoples' spatiotemporal perception. Our target is to improve performance in tasks that rely on a fast and accurate understanding of movement dynamics in the environment. To provide an exemplary research and application scenario, we implemented a prototype of the concept in a driving simulation environment and used an interface capable of providing vibrotactile stimuli around the waist to communicate spatiotemporal information. The tactile stimuli dynamically encode directions and temporal proximities towards approaching objects. Temporal proximity is defined as inversely proportional to the time-to-contact and can be interpreted as a measure of imminent collision risk and temporal urgency. Results of a user study demonstrate performance benefits in terms of enhanced driving safety. This indicates a potential for improving peoples' capabilities in assessing relevant properties of dynamic environments in order to purposefully adapt their actions.
Polymorphisms of Pre-miR-499 rs3746444 T/C and Pre-miR-146a rs2910164 C/G in the Autoimmune Diseases of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in the West of Iran

Background: The present research is a case-control study to analyze the influence of pre-miRNA-146a rs2910164 and pre-miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms as candidate susceptibility factors for both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: Polymorphism in miR146 and miR499 using ARMS-PCR was genotyped on 139 autoimmune disease (AD) patients (89 RA and 50 SLE) referred to Educational Hospitals of Khorramabad, Lorestan Province, west of Iran in 2018–2019 and 237 healthy control subjects. Results: A significant increase in the likelihood of carrying the GC vs. GG of pre-miR146-rs2910164 and T vs C allele of pre-miR499- rs3746444 in patients with RA was found. On the contrary, patients with RA were less likely to carry the TC + CC vs TT genotype and the C vs T allele of pre-miR499- rs374644. In females with the GC vs GG and GC+ CC vs GG genotypes, a significant association was found with the increased risk of RA. Interestingly, the genotypic combination of TC of the pre-miR499-rs374644 with GG of pre-miR146-rs2910164 more strongly decreased the risk of RA. In patients with SLE, no notable associations were found between both pre-miRNA-146a rs2910164 and pre-miRNA-499 rs3746444 with risk of disease. Conclusion: Genetic polymorphisms of miR146 rs2910164 is associated with RA susceptibility especially in females. Interestingly, there is a potential in miR499 to reduce the risk with the protective effect of gene-gene interactions on miR146 in RA disease.
Evaluation of changes in vitamin B12, ferritin, folic acid, and thyroid hormone levels after sleeve gastrectomy

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in vitamin B12, ferritin, folic acid, and thyroid hormone levels in patients with morbid obesity after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Material and Methods: A total of 85 patients who underwent LSG operation with the diagnosis of morbid obesity were included in the study. Levels of vitamin B12, ferritin, folic acid, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3), and free thyroxine (fT4) hormone were measured using the chemiluminescence method. Preand postoperative levels of thyroid hormones, vitamin B12, ferritin, folic acid, and BMI values were evaluated. Results: The mean BMI decreased from 45.44 ± 3.8 kg/m2 to 39.38 ± 3.69 kg/m2 (p<0.001). The mean TSH, fT3, vitamin B12, folic acid, and ferritin levels were statistically significant lower at six months postoperatively than preoperative levels, while the mean fT4 levels were found to be significantly higher (p<0.001). Preoperative and 6thmonth postoperative ferritin levels were significantly lower in female patients than male patients (p<0.001). There was a negative correlation between age with preoperative TSH and fT3 levels. There was a positive correlation between age and preoperative and 6thmonth postoperative folic acid levels. Conclusion: Remodeling of the gastrointestinal system and endocrine alterations after LSG may result in changes in the levels of nutritional parameters such as thyroid hormone, vitamin B12, folic acid, and ferritin. Therefore, based on our study findings, we consider that the nutritional status of patients after bariatric surgery should be monitored particularly in long-term and nutritionally supported, if necessary.

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion and cerebral salt wasting as the common causes of hyponatremia in tertiary care hospital

Background: Hyponatremia is a typical condition of electrolyte disturbance that may be euvolemic, hypovolemic or hypervolemic. Proper interpretation through laboratory tests helps to differentiate the types and causes of hyponatremia. This study was conducted to evaluate the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) and cerebral salt wasting (CSW) as the common causes of hyponatremia in tertiary care hospital. Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted, including hyponatremia cases, admitted in NTU/ICU/CCU and other medical wards at Ruby Hall Clinic from August 2011 to December 2013. Results: Of 150 patients enrolled in this study, 33.33% patients were euvolemic, 34% patients were hypervolemic and 32.66% patients were hypovolemic. For the euvolemic patients, SIADH (68%) was the most common cause; whereas, CSW (34.39%) was the common cause for hypovolemic type of hyponatremia. Stroke was found to be the most common cause of SIADH (55.88%), Intra-cerebral bleeding was observed to be the most common causative factor between SIADH and CSW associated hyponatremia. Conclusions: Hyponatremia in central nervous system disorder patients frequently occurred due to SIADH and CSW. Most common cause of SIADH was stroke and for CSW it was intra cerebral bleed.
There Is No Such Thing As Miscomputation

This paper will argue that there is no such thing as miscomputation, contrary to the received view in philosophy of computation and (possibly) computer science. There are just hardware problems on the one hand and programming errors on the other, neither of which constitute a distinct kind of computational malfunction. One upshot of this argument is that philosophical accounts of physical computation should not be assessed on whether they can accommodate miscomputation in the abstract, but rather on whether they can make sense of the range of different phenomenona that are commonly (and misleadingly) described as miscomputations.
Attention to ideas! Exploring idea survival in internal crowdsourcing

This paper analyzes how the distribution and structure of employees' attention influence idea survival in an organizational internal crowdsourcing session. ,Data from an online internal crowdsourcing session carried out within a multinational company with headquarters in Sweden were used to explore how idea attention influenced idea survival. ,Our findings indicate that the positive relationship between attention allocation and idea survival is mediated by idea appreciation, i.e. positive comments and suggestions that employees provide in response to ideas. In addition, we find that competition for attention negatively moderates the relationship between idea attention and positive comments. Finally, our results indicate that ideas are more likely to survive if they are submitted earlier in the crowdsourcing process and when the elapsed time since previously posted ideas in the session is longer. ,This study provides organizers of internal crowdsourcing sessions with new insights about factors influencing idea survival and about potential systematic biases in idea selection due to timing and competition between ideas. ,This paper contributes to the literature highlighting the relevance of attention-based theory in the context of crowd-based creativity and innovation management.
