Attention deficit disorder in adults, nutritional deficiencies, and the treatments available: a literature review

The prevalence of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) in adults has steadily increased within the past decade. However, very few people are aware they have this disorder. Those with ADHD have higher divorce rates, school dropout rates, job termination, car accidents, and higher rates of substance abuse and alcohol dependence (Kates, 2005; Tcheremissine & Lieving, 2009). A high comorbidity rate with ADHD, anxiety, and depression has been found. This literature review includes the significant nutritional deficiencies such as neurotransmitters, trace minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and several B vitamins which are found in people with ADHD, and a description of the four main medications most commonly prescribed along with their side effects, and a list of the natural foods and supplements that can be used to assist with the symptoms of ADHD and the most common mental disorders that accompany it.

The purpose of this article is to describe a systematic algorithm for evaluation and treatment of the unstable total hip arthroplasty as well as review current literature and controversies surrounding the dislocating total hip arthroplasty.
Progresión y escalonamiento en el consumo de drogas: evidencia para Argentina

The objective of this paper is to study, for Argentina, the progression in the consumption of drugs that begins with the consumption of legal drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol, and advances to the consumption of marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drugs. The relation between the consumption of alcohol and tobacco and their age initiation and the probability of consuming marijuana are estimated including propensity and access characteristics. Furthermore, the relationship between marijuana use and its age of onset with the consumption of other drugs is studied. Data from ENPreCoSP of 2011 is used. The results obtained are consistent with the staggering theory. The consumption of legal drugs and their early use have a positive relationship with the probability of consuming marijuana, and also the consumption of marijuana shows the same relationship with the probability of consuming other illicit drugs. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar, para Argentina, la progresión en el consumo de drogas que se inicia con el consumo de drogas legales y avanza hacia el consumo de marihuana, cocaína y otras drogas ilícitas. Utilizando la ENPreCoSP del 2011, se analiza la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y tabaco y su edad de inicio con el consumo de marihuana incluyendo variables de propensión y acceso. A su vez, se estudia la relación entre el consumo de marihuana y su edad de inicio con el consumo de otras drogas. Los resultados obtenidos van en línea con la teoría de escalonamiento, el consumo de drogas legales y su inicio más temprano tienen una relación positiva con la probabilidad de consumir marihuana, y el consumo de esta última también se relaciona directamente con la probabilidad de consumir otras drogas ilícitas.
Hot Hand, Regression to Mean, and Unmet Expectations: Marketing the Mutual Fund Mirage

Investors flock to 5-star mutual funds hoping they’re betting on a winner. Be it sports or investments, people believe in a hot hand. In the feature film “The Big Short,” economist Richard Thaler compares speculating in financial markets to making side bets on a game of blackjack. Can studying a card game tell us something about the nature of mutual fund returns? Wins and losses from card games produce a statistically significant positive serial correlation in a sequential set of 469 card games (4000+ hands) between two evenly matched players. The result reverses the “hot hand fallacy” reported by Gilovich, Vallone, and Tversky (1985). Short bursts of streaks and slumps are frequent and somewhat predictable, but in the long run results regress to a mean. There are implications for investor education and the marketing practices of mutual fund companies.
Mind Style and Characterization in John McGahern’s The Dark

The aim of this paper is to offer an in-depth analysis of John McGahern’s critical statements on the Irish society of the mid 1960s. This is carried out by combining the notions of mind style (Semino, 2002), split selves (Emmot, 2002) and the blending theory (Fauconnier and Turner, 1994, 2002). The description of two of the main characters of the novel (Mahoney, a widower, and Father Gerald, a priest) and two of the most relevant scenes (the Corpus Christi procession and the young protagonist’s sexual arousal with an advert torn from a newspaper) are analysed in terms of multiple metonymic correspondences which interact within the blend to yield a series of antagonistic metaphors. Through the eyes of the teenage narrator, McGahern makes an outrageous ideological statement against Puritanism and Catholicism. Keywords— McGahern, puritanism, blending, split-selves, mind-styles.
One-Shot Learning for Long-Tail Visual Relation Detection

The aim of visual relation detection is to provide a comprehensive understanding of an image by describing all the objects within the scene, and how they relate to each other, in < object-predicate-object > form; for example, < person-lean on-wall > . This ability is vital for image captioning, visual question answering, and many other applications. However, visual relationships have long-tailed distributions and, thus, the limited availability of training samples is hampering the practicability of conventional detection approaches. With this in mind, we designed a novel model for visual relation detection that works in one-shot settings. The embeddings of objects and predicates are extracted through a network that includes a feature-level attention mechanism. Attention alleviates some of the problems with feature sparsity, and the resulting representations capture more discriminative latent features. The core of our model is a dual graph neural network that passes and aggregates the context information of predicates and objects in an episodic training scheme to improve recognition of the one-shot predicates and then generate the triplets. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to center on the viability of one-shot learning for visual relation detection. Extensive experiments on two newly-constructed datasets show that our model significantly improved the performance of two tasks PredCls and SGCls from 2.8% to 12.2% compared with state-of-the-art baselines.
Pest categorisation of Nacobbus aberrans

Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Nacobbus aberrans (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae), the false root‐knot nematode, for the EU. The nematode was originally described from the American continent. Due to differences in host range as well as molecular variability among populations, N. aberrans should be regarded as a species complex (N. aberrans sensu lato). All populations belonging to this species complex are pests of important host plants in the EU. N. aberrans had been detected indoors in the EU in the 1950s and 1960s but is no longer reported to be present in the EU. It is regulated by Council Directive 2000/29/EC, listed in Annex IAI as N. aberrans (Thorne) Thorne and Allen. Species within the N. aberrans complex are endoparasitic with migratory and sedentary stages. They are highly polyphagous attacking many plant species. They are also found in soil where they can survive dry conditions and freezing temperatures. Plants for planting and soil are potential pathways for this nematode. Climatic conditions in the EU are similar to those found in the countries where the pest is present. Hosts of the nematode from which high‐yield losses have been reported include potato, sugar beet, tomato and beans. The nematode only moves short distances (around 1m) but may be spread with plants and soil moving activities. Measures are available to inhibit EU entry via potatoes and soil as such but not all host plants are covered by current legislation. Entry of the nematode with plants and soil attached to plants for planting that are not regulated is therefore possible. N. aberrans does satisfy all the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess to be regarded as a Union quarantine pest.
Comparison of 3-year clinical outcomes between Endeavor Resolute® and Resolute Integrity® zotarolimus-eluting stents in an Asian population

Objective: There is a scarcity of comparative studies between Endeavor Resolute®-zotarolimus-eluting stent (R-ZES) and Resolute Integrity®-ZES (I-ZES) during long-term follow-up periods. Although the stent alloy and the polymer of these two ZESs are similar, the platform and the design of these two stents are different. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of these two different ZESs in the all-comer Korean patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during a 3-year follow-up period. Methods: This study was performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. In this single-center, retrospective, and all-comer patients’ cohort study, a total of 889 patients who underwent PCI with R-ZES (n=394) or I-ZES (n=495) were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) defined as all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), any repeat revascularization including target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and non-TVR, and the secondary endpoint was stent thrombosis (ST) at 3 years. Results: To adjust for any potential confounders, the propensity score-adjusted multivariable analysis was performed using the logistic regression model (C-statistics=0.689). The cumulative incidence rates of MACEs [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.341; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.615–2.922; p=0.461], all-cause death, nonfatal MI, any repeat revascularization, and ST (aHR, 2.090; 95% CI, 0.163–26.77; p=0.571) were similar between the two groups during the 3-year follow-up period. Conclusion: R-ZES and I-ZES demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety after PCI during a 3-year follow-up period. However, these results can perhaps be more precisely defined by other large and long-term follow-up studies in the future.
Connection between depression and physical activity in patients with Parkinson’s disease

Parkinsonova bolest obuhvaca cijeli niz motornih i nemotornih simptoma. Nemotorni simptomi, napose neuropsihijatrijski simptomi, uvelike narusavaju kvalitetui kvantitetu života pacijenata. Među neuropsihijatrijskim simptomima, depresija ponajvise utjece na razinu fizicke aktivnosti osoba oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti. Važnost fizicke aktivnosti, odnosno zadržavanje iste vrlo je važan cimbenik u prevenciji progresije bolesti.U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 72 ispitanika, koji su zadovoljavali faktore ukljucenja. Razina fizicke aktivnosti se određivala pomocu međunarodnog upitnika o fizickoj aktivnosti (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ) a obuhvacala je procjenu raznih oblika aktivnosti tijekom zadnjih 7 dana. Povezanost fizicke aktivnosti i neuropsihijatrijskih simptoma se određivala pomocu Phi koeficijenta (rφ). Depresija je prisutna kod 58% ispitanika bez obzira na spol, dok su osobe ženskog spola depresivnije od osoba muskog spola (p=0, 01rφ 0, 302). Vise od 50% pacijenata s depresijom nije primilo farmakolosku terapiju antidepresivima. Nisku razinu fizicke aktivnosti je ostvarilo 50% pacijenata, srednju 33, 3%, a visoku razinu njih 16, 7%. Povecanje razine fizicke aktivnosti osoba oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti moglo bi doprinijeti usporavanju progresije bolesti, smanjiti rizik od nastanka drugih bolesti i eventualnih komplikacija (npr. kardiovaskularne bolesti, pneumonija, dekubitus, itd.) te sprijeciti socijalnu izolaciju pacijenata.

A finger-like projection in the carotid artery: A rare source of embolic stroke requiring carotid endarterectomy

Atherosclerotic lesions of the extracranial carotid arteries are one of the most common cases of stroke. Rarely, a stroke may result from isolated non-stenotic carotid disease in the absence of systemic manifestations of cardiovascular disease or significant cardiovascular risk factors. We present an unusual case of multiple strokes resulting from a solitary finger-like projection within the posterior wall of the carotid artery in an otherwise healthy patient. This small finger-like projection has a propensity to act as a nidus for thrombus formation and a potential source of cerebral embolism.
How climate change impacts on regional security in West Africa: Exploring the link to organised crime

ABSTRACT Security in West Africa has been dominated by discourses on political violence, terrorism, illegal migration and smuggling of small arms and light weapons amongst other factors. While this paper concedes the growing focus on environmental security and the effects of climate change in the region, there has been little research on its link to organised criminal activities in the sub-continent. The narrative has been limited to migration, extreme weather conditions and food insecurity. This paper explores the link between climate change and organised crime in West Africa; specifically, in Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger and Senegal. The aim is to broaden the discourse on regional security and climate change, as such this article examines the link between climate change and its impact on regional security with a view to identify the link to organised criminal activities in West Africa. This paper argues that the effects of climate change in West Africa create and exacerbate variables that ensure the continuous existence of organised criminal networks.
Internet of Things Mobility Over Information-Centric/Named-Data Networking

Information-centric networking (ICN) is a content-oriented network that uses content instead of traditional IP addresses, it facilitates the content retrieval and calculates downstream paths without the need of an optimal topology. ICN inherits mobility support features in its baseline design. Since the Internet of Things (IoT) faces major problems in supporting mobility management over IP, we believe that ICN would represent a major element in scalable IoT networks. This article discusses the use of ICN as a communication model in IoT environments, focusing on solving the mobility issue. Thus, we survey the relevant work that studies the merger between ICN and IoT, and describe the emergence, evolution, and state-of-the-art mobility approach. This article also presents discussions on major scalability challenges when using ICN as a communication enabler for mobile IoT and highlights key designs and guidelines.
AGEING GRACEFULLY WITH THE HELP OF UNANI SYSTEM OF MEDICINE: A REVIEW

Old age encompasses the late portion of life; the age after youth and middle age, commonly with reference to deterioration. Old people usually have inadequate reformative capabilities and are therefore more susceptible to diseases, injuries and illness than the younger ones. In developed countries however, most people in their early 70s are still healthy and are able to take care of themselves. But after 75, they become progressively fragile, along with serious mental and physical debilitation. But in developing countries, this age is quite less as compared to the developed countries. These changes can lead to a reduced quality of life. But there are some measures, which when adapted, can slow the ageing process. In other words follow up of certain regimes; lifestyle, diet etc., can help a person to get older in a healthier way. In Unani classical literature, some measures are mentioned, by which these changes can be delayed and a healthier lifestyle can be maintained even at the old age. These measures are more about the prevention of disease and maintenance of health rather than the cure such as taking healthy diet suitable for old age people and performing suitable exercises etc. Old age and the disease which are common in old age and the preventive measures for delay of deterioration of health in old age are some of the factors that are being discussed in this paper.
Prognosis and Prediction in Breast Cancer: Is There a Need for Further Tests?

Paradigm shifts in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in breast cancer substantially improved survival and quality of life. Since 1989 until 2015, the mortality rate decreased by 39% according to US breast cancer statistics (1). The first paradigm shift occurred once it was recognized that breast cancer is not a local but rather a systemic disease. Veronesi and coworkers demonstrated in a ground-breaking trial that breast-conserving surgery instead of mutilating radical mastectomy does not impact survival (2). The next paradigm shift emerged with the understanding that clinicopathological factors such as the axillary lymph node status, tumor size, incidence of metastases, and grade of cellular differentiation have prognostic value, which led to the introduction of adjuvant chemotherapy to reduce and prevent disease recurrence. Subsequently, the knowledge of the importance of the estrogen receptor (ER) not only identified patients with better overall survival but also led to the first targeted therapy approach, which blocked the estrogen receptor pathway (3). Further subtyping was enabled through the discovery of the human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) receptor by Slamon and coworkers (4). At the beginning of the new millennium, Perou et al. introduced intrinsic subtyping in the molecular pathology of breast cancer (5). Shortly thereafter, Sorlie and coworkers defined the molecular subtypes Luminal A, Luminal B, basal-like, …
HEPATO-AND NEPHRO-PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF CITRULLUS LANATUS RIND IN WISTAR RATS FED WITH USED MOTOR ENGINE OIL CONTAMINATED FEED.

present study investigated the hepato- and nephroprotective effects of methanol extract of Citrullus lanatus rind in Wistar rats fed with used motor engine oil contaminated feed (UMEO). Twenty-five (25) adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups of five rats each. One group served as normal control, the remaining groups were fed 4 ml UMEO/kg feed, 100 mg/kg body weight (bwt) of vitamin C, 250 mg/kg bwt of extract, and 500 mg/kg bwt of extract respectively. After 28 days of treatment, the rats were euthanized, and blood and kidney samples collected for biochemical analysis. Results showed that the oral LD 50 of methanol extract of C. lanatus rind was greater than 5000 mg/kg bwt. Treatment with methanol extract of C. lanatus significantly (p 0.05). The concentration of urea was significantly (p< 0.05) increased in groups treated with the extract and vitamin C compared to the untreated animals. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were significantly reduced in negative control group compared to the control and treatment groups. Treatment with the extract significantly reduced UMEO -induced increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. The results of this study indicate that methanol extract of Citrullus lanatus rind may protects liver and kidney against injuries imposed by foreign compounds.

An Efficient Computer-Aided Diagnosis System for the Analysis of DICOM Volumetric Images

Medical images are an important source of diagnosis. The brain of human analysis is now an advanced field of research for computer scientists and biomedical physicians. Services provided by the healthcare units usually vary, the quality of treatment provided in the urban and rural generally not same. Unavailability of medical equipment and services can have serious consequences in patient disease diagnosis and treatment. In this context, we developed. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) based CAD (Computer Aided Diagnosis) system which takes MRI as input and detects abnormal tissues (Tumors). MRI is the safe and well reputed imaging methodology for prediction of tumors. MRI modality assists the medical team in diagnosis and proper treatment plan (Medication/Surgery) of different types of abnormalities in the soft tissues of the human body. This paper proposes a framework for brain cancer detection and classification. The tumor is segmented using a semi-automatic segmentation algorithm in which the threshold values selection for head and cancer regions are premeditated automatically. Segmented tumors are further sectioned into malignant and benign using SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier. Detailed experimental work indicates that our proposed CAD system achieves higher accuracy for the analysis of brain MRI analysis.
