Hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer, seven procedures and five recurrences, when to stop? A Case report

Introduction: Colorectal cancer commonly metastasizes to the liver. Patients treated by metastasectomy gain a longer overall survival and progression-free survival than those patients treated by radiofrequency ablation. Case presentation: This paper reports the case of a 58-year-old male who presented with constipation, bleeding per rectum and weight loss. Colonoscopy showed rectosigmoid mass, and an MRI of the abdomen and pelvis revealed that there was a circumferential polypoidal rectal soft tissue mass involving the upper half of the rectum extending approximately 8 cm in the longitudinal length to the retro-sigmoid junction and 9 cm from the anal verge. It showed local extension to the mesorectal fat with significant invasion to the mesorectal fascia anteriorly. The lesion did not extend to the scrotum, prostate or urinary bladder. Multiple mesorectal lymph node and multiple foci lesions were seen in the liver, suggesting metastasis. The patient was staged as T3N2M1. After that, lower anterior resection with diversion ileostomy and intraoperative radiofrequency ablation of segment IVa and resection of IVb segment was done. From 2013 to 2017 the patient had multiple procedures: right hepatectomy, resection of segment II and IVA, alcohol ablation of segment II, microwave ablation through US guided for segment II and wedge resection in segment IV respectively. Six weeks later, the patient was looking well with normal liver function tests. Resection offers the greatest possibility of cure for patients with liver-isolated colorectal cancers, with 5-year survival rates of 25-58%. Take-away lesson: The overall clinical importance of this case report is to show how repeated liver resection improves the quality of life.

Research on spatial coding compressive spectral imaging and its applicability for rural survey

Compressive spectral imaging combines traditional spectral imaging method with new concept of compressive sensing thus has the advantages such as reducing acquisition data amount, realizing snapshot imaging for large field of view and increasing image signal-to-noise and its preliminary application effectiveness has been explored by early usage on the occasions such as high-speed imaging and fluorescent imaging. In this paper, the application potentiality for spatial coding compressive spectral imaging technique on rural survey is revealed. The physical model for spatial coding compressive spectral imaging is built on which its data flow procession is analyzed and its data reconstruction issue is concluded. The existing sparse reconstruction methods are reviewed thus specific module based on the two-step iterative shrinkage/thresholding algorithm is built so as to execute the imaging data reconstruction. The simulating imaging experiment based on AVIRIS visible band data of a specific selected rural scene is carried out. The spatial identification and spectral featuring extraction capacity for different ground species are evaluated by visual judgment of both single band image and spectral curve. The data fidelity evaluation parameters (RMSE and PSNR) are put forward so as to verify the data fidelity maintaining ability of this compressive imaging method quantitatively. The application potentiality of spatial coding compressive spectral imaging on rural survey, crop monitoring, vegetation inspection and further agricultural development demand is verified in this paper.
Cryptographic Protocol Based Laurel System for Multi agent Distributed Communication

In order to expedite detection of unfaithful and malicious agents, an agent recognition mechanism is proposed for multi agent communication, which is based on a laurel model and a cryptographic protocol. A laurel system for multi agent communication can be let down by a set of malicious agents. Such a group can maliciously raise the laurel of one or more agents of the group. There is no known method to protect a laurel system against swindler agent groups. So there is a need for false proof laurel management mechanism to avoid malicious agents providing false state of laurel. The modern systems that entertain multi-agent communication are more vulnerable to agents who behaves maliciously or simply do not cooperate. The lack of core level trusted third party in multi agent communication strategy postures distinctive issues for laurel management. These issues feature agent recognition strategy, dependable laurel maintenance. The disadvantage of the existing system is the laurel of the agent that responds to a request is considered but the credibility of the agent that attempts to update the laurel of the other agent is ignored. This proposal aims to devise a model to encapsulate the laurel of both the agent that respond and the agent that request. The proposed protocol reduces the number of malicious transactions. It also manages the issue of highly inconsistent accessibility pattern of the agents in multi agent communication based systems.

Fifty per cent of subjects attended for exercise assessment, of which 58 per cent completed four exercise sessions. Results showed encour aging trends for improved exercise behaviour and perceived health status in subjects allocated to the health promotion groups.
Música e Personalidade: A Relação entre Consumo Musical, Comportamento e Emoções

Este e um estudo acerca da relacao entre personalidade e o consumo de generos musicais, seguindo a tipologia de preferencias musicais criada por P. J. Rentfrow and S. D. Gosling. A amostra e constituida por 320 individuos, entre os 18 e os 38 anos, usando questionarios e escalas adaptadas ou propriamente construidas para esta investigacao. A musica energetica e a mais consumida pelos mais jovens, a musica rebelde permeia todos os grupos de idade, e os mais velhos, na faixa dos trinta anos, demonstram igualmente marcada preferencia pelo consumo de musica reflexiva. As escolhas musicais parecem nao ser influenciadas, porem, pelo genero e estado civil. Os respondentes menos escolarizados tendem a preferir musica energetica, enquanto aqueles com maiores qualificacoes escolares preferem os estilos reflexivo e rebelde. Music and Personality: The Relation Between Musical Consumption, Behaviour and Emotions This is a study about the relation between personality and consumption of musical genres, following the typology of music preferences by P. J. Rentfrow and S. D. Gosling. The sample is constituted by 320 individuals, from 18 to 38 years old, using questionnaires and scales adapted or specifically constructed for this research. Energetic music is mostly consumed by the younger, rebellious music permeates all age groups, with the older respondents in their thirties equally showing a marked preference for the consumption of reflexive music. Musical choices seem not to be influenced, however, by gender and marital status. Less educated respondents tend to prefer energetic music, whereas those with greater educational qualifications prefer reflexive and rebellious music. Keywords: Music, personality, musical genres, consumption, music preferences.
Computer Network Security

Computer Network security is the effort to create a secure computing platform, designed so that users or programs cannot perform actions that they are not allowed to perform, but can perform the actions that they are allowed to. The actions in question can be reduced to operations of access, modification and deletion. Computer Network security can be seen as a subfield of security engineering, which looks at broader security issues in addition to network security. However, as more and more people become ``wired'', an increasing number of people need to understand the basics of security in a networked world. This document was written with the basic computer user and information systems manager in mind, explaining the concepts needed to read through the hype in the marketplace and understand risks and how to deal with them. It is hoped that the user will have a wider perspective on computer network security in general, and better understand how to prevent, detect, and take counter measures on such threats personally, at home, and in the workplace. ——————————  ——————————
On Establishing PPG Biometrics for Human Recognition: Feasibility and Variability

On Establishing PPG Biometrics for Human Recognition: Feasibility and Variability Umang Natubhai Yadav Master of Applied Science The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2018 This thesis presents a new biometric modality called Photoplethysmograph (PPG) for biometric authentication. PPG records the blood volume change from any part of the body with a combination of a light emitting diode and a photo diode. Therefore, it is the easiest to acquire amongst all medical biometric traits. Although PPG is a time-dependent physiological signal and alters with physical and psychological stress, most of the prior art has neglected these factors. This work presents the ‘BioSec.Lab PPG Database’ and establishes the PPG as biometrics through a comprehensive analysis on its distinctiveness and robustness under exercise, emotions, time-lapse, and noisy conditions. Performances under all variations mentioned above are assessed using various methodologies. Encouraging Equal Error Rates (EER) between 0.00% − 36.09% were achieved with relaxed states and under different variations from the three databases.
ACUTE TOXICITY (LETHAL DOSE 50 CALCULATION) AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF BERBERIS VULGARIS IN MICE

The arithmetic method of Karber for the calculation of LD50 and histopathology were used to study the acute toxicological effects of Methanolic extract of Berberis vulgaris root pulp (BRPM) on albino mice. The study involved different doses (10, 100, 500 and 1000mg/Kg) of the extract by intraperitoneal administration to groups of mice. Signs of toxicity and possible death of animals were monitored for 24 hrs to ascertain the median lethal dose (LD50) of the extract. At the end study, all the animals in all the dose groups were sacrificed and the internal organ-body were compared with values from the control group. The LD50 was found to be 666.66 mg/Kg body weight upon intraperitoneal administration in mice. The histopathological examination indicated that the at the dose of 1000mg/Kg, extract induced several histopathological changes in the liver of mice such as necrosis of some hepatocytes, edema, scattered bile canaliculi and damage in septa between lobes of liver. The obtained LD 50 values classify the BRPM (i.p.) as slightly toxic according to Hodge and sterner toxicity scale.
Adaptive control of induction motor with unknown motor resistance

In this paper, a new approach for induction motor rotor resistance variation estimate is presented by using adaptive neural networks. Indeed, the proposed neural networks are endowed with adaptive rules that allow them to estimate the true values of the necessary nonlinear state feedbacks for the input-output feedback linearization control of an induction motor. A comparison between the nonlinear state feedbacks provided by neural networks and those calculated through the nominal model of the induction motor with nominal parameters allows us to estimate the variation in the rotor resistance.
Carotid Intraplaque Hemorrhage Imaging: Diagnostic Value of High Signal Intensity Time-of-Flight MR Angiography Compared with Magnetization-Prepared Rapid Acquisition with Gradient-Echo Sequencing

Purpose: To determine the value of the appearance of the high signal intensity halo sign for detecting carotid intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) on maximum intensity projection (MIP) of time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography (MRA), based on high signal intensity on magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient-echo (MPRAGE) sequencing. Materials and Methods: A total of 78 carotid arteries in 65 patients with magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition gradient-echo (MPRAGE) positive on carotid plaque MR imaging were included in this study. High-resolution MR imaging was performed on a 3.0-T scanner prior to carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting. Fast spin-echo T1and T2-weighted axial imaging, TOF, and MPRAGE sequences were obtained. Carotid plaques with high signal intensity on MPRAGE > 200% that of adjacent muscle on at least two consecutive slices were defined as showing IPH. Halo sign of high signal intensity around the carotid artery was found on MIP from TOF MRA. Continuous and categorical variables were compared among groups using the Mann-Whitney test and Fisher’s exact tests. Results: Of these 78 carotid arteries, 53 appeared as a halo sign on the TOF MRA. The total IPH volume of patients with a positive halo sign was significantly higher than that of patients without a halo sign (75.0 ± 86.8 vs. 16.3 ± 18.2, P = 0.001). The maximum IPH axial wall area in patients with a positive halo sign was significantly higher than that of patients without a halo sign (11.3 ± 9.9 vs. 3.7 ± 3.6, P = 0.000). Conclusion: High signal intensity halo of IPH on MIP of TOF MRA is associated with total volume and maximal axial wall area of IPH.
Möglichkeiten moderner Diabetestechnologie

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG In Form von Spritzen und Kanülen zur Insulininjektion stehen den Patienten prinzipiell seit Beginn der Diabetestherapie technologische Anwendungen bereit. An dieser Situation änderte sich über viele Jahrzehnte wenig, bis in den 1980er-Jahren eine rasante Entwicklung einsetzte, welche die Diabetestherapie revolutionierte. Das betraf 2 grundsätzliche Bereiche: Einerseits standen Insulinpens und feinere Insulinkanülen zur Verfügung, dies förderte die Bereitschaft der Patienten für eine physiologischere, aber auch mehr Injektionen erforderlich machende Insulintherapie. Dazu gehören auch die zu dieser Zeit aufkommenden Insulinpumpen. Andererseits gelang es, kleine, transportable Blutzuckermessgeräte und Teststreifen mit vertretbar geringen notwendigen Blutmengen zur Messung bereitzustellen, was die Patienten in die Lage versetzte, ihre Therapie im Alltag selbst zu führen. Diese Entwicklung ist in den letzten Jahren immer rasanter geworden. Ein Meilenstein war das kontinuierliche Glukosemonitoring (CGM), ein wichtiger Bestandteil in Systemen für eine automatisierte Insulinabgabe und die Zusammenführung von Messung und Insulinabgabe. Weiterhin können durch die kontinuierliche Glukosemessung auch Blutzuckermessungen einschränkt bzw. ganz verzichtbar werden. Mit den Errungenschaften der modernen Informationstechnologie ergeben sich völlig neue Möglichkeiten, die unter den gebräuchlichen Begriff „Digitalisierung“ fallen. Wurde zunächst nur Software zur Analyse von Glukosewerten entwickelt, so lassen sich mittlerweile Daten auch über eine Cloud einem Computer zuführen, der sie analysiert und dem Patienten im Alltag unterstützende Verhaltenshinweise gibt (Patienten-Entscheidungs-Systeme). Die Möglichkeiten der modernen Diabetestechnologie betreffen nicht mehr nur Patienten mit Typ-1-, sondern zunehmend auch die mit Typ-2-Diabetes. Generell führt dies zu einem veränderten Verhältnis zwischen Arzt und Patient, wobei beide Seiten wirkungsvoll unterstützt werden.
A 0.5–1.1-V Adaptive Bypassing SAR ADC Utilizing the Oscillation-Cycle Information of a VCO-Based Comparator

A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)-based comparator is presented in this paper. The relationship between the input voltage and the number of oscillation cycles (NOC) to reach a VCO-comparator decision is explored, implying an inherent coarse quantization in parallel with the normal comparison. The NOC as a design parameter is introduced and analyzed with noise, metastability, and tradeoff considerations. The NOC is exploited to bypass a certain number of SAR cycles for higher power efficiency of VCO-based SAR ADCs. To cope with the process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations, an adaptive bypassing technique is proposed, tracking and correcting window sizes in the background. Fabricated in a 40-nm CMOS process, the ADC achieves a peak effective number of bits of 9.71 b at 10 MS/s. Walden figure of merit (FoM) of 2.4–6.85 fJ/conv. -step is obtained over a wide range of supply voltages and sampling rates. Measurement has been carried out under typical, fast-fast, and slow-slow process corners and 0 °C–100 °C temperature range, showing that the proposed ADC is robust over PVT variations without any off-chip calibration or tuning.

Prototipado virtual y cosimulación aplicado a un manipulador paralelo tipo Delta de tres grados de libertad para estudios de comportamiento cinemático y cinético

espanolEn este trabajo se presenta el analisis cinematico y cinetico de un manipulador paralelo tipo Delta de tres grados de libertad. La validacion cinematica y cinetica fue desarrollada con un prototipo virtual, utilizando las herramientas Solidworks y Labview mediante cosimulacion, considerando los datos experimentales tomados del prototipo fisico. Utilizando la misma trayectoria, al comparar los resultados de la cinematica adquiridos en el prototipo fisico con los datos obtenidos del prototipo virtual y del modelo teorico, se puede concluir que la posicion de la plataforma movil presenta valores similares respecto al sistema coordenado global. Por otro lado, los pares motores para los actuadores requeridos por modelo teorico y el prototipo virtual presenta un comportamiento conservativo, ya que el par motor del prototipo fisico presenta requerimientos inferiores bajo las mismas condiciones. El trabajo en conjunto de las herramientas computacionales permite estudiar de forma coherente los sistemas mecanicos‚ logrando una comparacion directa del modelo teorico, el prototipo fisico y el prototipo virtual. EnglishThis work presents the kinetics and kinematics analysis for delta-3 parallel manipulator. Kinematics and Kinetics validation was performed with a virtual prototype cosimulation using Solidworks and Labview and considering experimental data from physical prototype testing. In respect to the same testing path, comparisons of kinematics results from physical prototype against data of both virtual prototype and theoretical model, corroborate that positions of mobile platform have similar values in respect to the global coordinate system. On the other hand, actuator torques of theoretical model and virtual prototype reported conservative behaviors, whereas the torque of the physical prototype presents lower requirements under the same conditions. Work in unison of these computational tools allows a coherent study of mechanical systems and a direct comparison of the theoretical model, physical prototype and virtual prototype.
