Lung ultrasonography for detecting extravascular lung water overload in intensive care patients early after surgery : a preliminary study

INTRODUCTION Fluid replacement therapy is unavoidable during surgery. Monitoring of fluid status in the patient is important for ensuring a fluid volume that is adequate but not excessive, since too much fluid can cause tissue edema that compromises microcirculation and disturbs gas exchange in the lungs. (1)Postoperative pulmonary edema is a well-known postoperative complication with little known etiology and mortality. (2,3,4) . Ewen though it is difficult to identify the exact etiological factors,hydrostatic pulmonary edema is commonly seen. Water that is contained in the lungs outside the pulmonary vasculature is known as extravascular lung water (EVLW) (5). An increase in EVLW is the pathophysiological hallmark of hydrostatic pulmonary edema . (6). In lung edema, EVLW increases either because of increased lung permeability or because of increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillaries, or both. (7)Assessment and monitoring of EVLW traditionally has relied upon invasive computed tomography (CT) or pulse counter cardiac output testing (PiCCO). A less invasive alternative is the P/F ratio, but this is less accurate. A potentially superior non-invasive procedure is ultrasound, which can be used to measure the dimensions of the inferior vena cava, right heart chambers and left ventricle (8), as well as estimate EVLW through visualization of lung parenchyma (9). Since ultrasound waves are completely reflected by air, they cannot image the lung parenchyma when it is full, but they can image the parenchyma when interstitial-alveolar imbibition occurs (10). This gives rise to characteristic vertical artifacts called “B-lines” (or “lung rockets”) that extend from the pleura to the edge of the screen (8,11,12). The number of B-lines is directly proportional to the degree of lung aeration loss and to EVLW volume (9).
Dual Image Watermarking Technique using Edge Detection Based on Singular Value Decomposition and Discrete Wavelet Transform on Color Image

— To deal with the problems like copyright protection and the proof of rightful ownership, the concept of image watermarking came into existence. A digital watermark is a sequence of information containing the owner’s copyright for the multimedia data. Watermark is inserted invisibly in host image so that it can be embedded at later times for the evidence of rightful ownership. In this paper, Dual image watermarking is used to protect from these problems. An attempt has been made to embed watermarks using SVD-DWT and canny edge detector invisibly. Results are evaluated in terms of benchmark metrics - PSNR, MSE, Correlation Coefficient (CC), and BER (Bit Error Rate). Metrics are calculated for host image after embedding and extraction of both watermarks. Values of parameters support that the dual image watermarking is more robust and imperceptible.

Code Clone Detection Using Function Based Similarities and Metrics

— ode cloning is a process of coping and pasting of code fragment with or without minor alteration like renaming, addition and deletion to the code fragments in the software. The copied and pasted code fragments are known as code clones. Code cloning reduces the time and effort of the software developer but it also decreases the quality of the software like readability, changeability and increases maintainability. So, code clone has to be detected to reduce the cost of maintenance to some extent. In this paper, a new hybrid technique is purposed to detect code clone from the source codes by segmenting the code into number of functions. The proposed technique can detect type 1, type 2 and type 3 clones efficiently.
PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among patients with cardio-vascular diseases is higher than in general population. At the same time the one of problems of internal medicine is a timely diagnostics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.The aim of the work was the study of prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among patients with cardio-vascular diseases, especially arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease.Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis of statistical cards of patients, who were on stationary treatment at therapeutic departments, was carried out to estimate the prevalence of combination of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with arterial hypertension. The target examination of 136 patients was realized for revelation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Among persons, who were on treatment as to the stable coronary heart disease and had not obstructive disease of respiratory organs in anamnesis, in 26,4 % the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was diagnosed for the first time.
A MULTI KEYWORD RANKED SEARCH TECHNIQUE WITH PROVISION FOR DYNAMIC UPDATE OF ENCRYPTED DOCUMENTS IN CLOUD

: Cloud computing has become popular due to the flexibility in data utilization as well as reduced cost in data management. Due to its benefits, a large number of data owners inclined towards cloud. The encryption for confidential data is necessary to protect it from the intrusion of adversaries. Keyword-based search on plaintext for data utility cannot be applied for encrypted text. With this requirement, a detailed survey has been carried out about the security issues of public cloud and Searchable Encryption (SE) schemes such as single keyword and multi keyword ranked search schemes.
A Lossless Secret Image Sharing Scheme based on Pixel Partitioning

— Secret sharing method divides a secret into some components called shadow images where each shadow image looks meaningless. Based on this idea, we propose a simple secret image sharing scheme in this article. This scheme is based on bitwise operations. We have used matrix addition and subtraction processes for share generation and reconstruction processes respectively. This technique allows a secret image to be divided as n image shares so that all n image shares have to be used to reconstruct the secret image and any (n − 1) or fewer image shares cannot get sufficient information to reveal the secret image. The proposed scheme has no pixel expansion and can reconstruct the secret image precisely. It is an effective, reliable, and secure method to prevent the secret image from being lost, stolen or corrupted. Experimental results prove that the proposed scheme is efficient because of strong security and accuracy.

filters[8].The VCO is a critical and essential component in modern wireless communication systems, providing periodic signals required for timing in digital circuits and frequency translation in radio frequency circuits[1].CMOS VCOs with low power consumption, low phase noise and wide tuning

34 Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering & Sciences Publication Pvt. Ltd.  Abstract— Designing a compact, power efficient VoltageControlled Oscillator (VCO) for high frequency phase lock loop (PLL) in modern wireless communication system is decisively a challenging task. Voltage-Controlled Ring Oscillator are crucial component in many wireless communication systems.VCRO is used in PLL circuit, to generate the oscillations and increase the speed of whole system. In this paper a low power and high speed VCRO is implemented using 250nm CMOS technology provided by generic with 2.5volt power supply. In favour of easy implementation of the module in small die size, a five-stage CMOS differential Voltage Controlled Ring Oscillator has been adopted to fabricate the proposed VCRO.The Voltage Controlled Ring Oscillator is design in Tanner Tool Version 13 environment. Power Consumption should be reduced to improve the performance of the VCRO.We also used of several techniques such as transistor sizing to improve performance of VCRO.Simulated results show that the designed VCRO exhibits an output frequency from 87-910 MHz with tuning voltages of 0.7 V to 2.3 V.The VCRO consumes 0.359mW of power at Vtune=0.7 V supply.
Literature Survey on Obliterate of Secure Data using Universal Validation

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - The ability to securely delete sensitive data from storage is becoming important. Cloud computing is an emerging computing technology that uses the internet and central remote serves to maintain data and applications. With the cloud computing, data security becomes more and more important in cloud computing. In this method some important security services including authentication, encryption and decryption are provided in cloud computing. Existing software based data erasure program can be summarized as following the same one-bit-return protocol: the deletion program performs data erasure and returns either success or failure. However, such a one bit-return protocol turns the data deletion into black box-the user has to trust the outcome but cannot easily verify it. In order to make the data deletion more transparent and verifiable cryptographic solution is used.
Electrical Interconnections Limits and Optical Interconnections Solutions to Signal Propagation delay for On Chip Data Path

: Optical interconnection is a promising solution for high speed interconnects between chips or boards to solve the inherent limits of electrical interconnects in speed, crosstalk, and power dissipation. It is believed that the concept of integrated optical interconnect is a potential technological solution to alleviate some of the ever more pressing issues involved in exchanging data between cores in optical communication architectures (inter-line crosstalk, latency, connectivity and power consumption). This paper has presented optical interconnects that bring advantage of high data rate density, i.e. large bandwidth with small physical dimensions, as well as large bandwidth x distance product. High data rate density enables tight integration of many optical channels with electronic chips.
Avaliação dos parâmetros espirométricos de pacientes submetidos à broncoscopia fl exível com anestesia local Evaluation of spirometric parameters in patients undergoing fl exible bronchoscopy with local anesthesia

Introduction: Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is a diagnostic test of therapeutic potential often used in thoracic surgery services. Lack of knowledge about its true impact on lung function and possible complications still restrict its use in institutions of higher complexity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in spirometry after conducting FB with local anesthesia and determine the safety of the method. Methods: A longitudinal prospective study of patients referred to FB in a university Hospital. The evaluation of patients focused on performing pulse oximetry and spirometry before and after completion of FB. Spirometry was performed by trained professional and in accordance with the recommendations of the Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia (Brazilian Thoracic Association). The incidence of complications was also evaluated. Results: The sample consisted of 20 patients, most of whom males (55%). The mean age was 56.6 years, and 35% of the patients were smokers (mean 45.3 years/pack), 10% had asthma, and 15% had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There was a statistically signifi cant reduction in FEV1, FVC and PEF (respectively, 0.25 L, 0.44 L and 0.85 L/sec). The Tiffenaud Index remained at the standard level, with no signifi cant difference. There was also a signifi cant decrease in SpO 2 . There was no need for ventilatory support. Conclusion: There was a signifi cant reduction in lung function and hemoglobin saturation after completion of FB. However, these changes did not have a signifi cant clinical impact, confi rming the safety of the method.
Automatic Glaucoma Detection Using Cup to Disc Ratio Technique

Glaucoma is one of the leading cause of blindness worldwide. A common eye condition in which the fluid pressure inside the eye rises to a level higher than healthy for that eye.The detection and diagnosis of glaucoma is very important. If untreated, it may damage the optic nerve, causing the loss of vision or even blindness. This is called Glaucoma, it is often called “silent thief of sight” as it has no symptoms and if not detected at an early stage it may cause permanent blindness. Glaucoma progression precedes some structural changes in the retina which aid ophthalmologists to detect glaucoma at an early stage and stop its progression. Fundoscopy is among one of the biomedical imaging techniques to analyze the internal structure of retina. Automatic analysis of retina images is becoming an important screening tool now days. This technique helps to detect various kind of risks and diseases of eyes. Glaucoma increases the cup to disc ratio (CDR), affecting the peripheral vision loss. This paper addresses the various image processing techniques to diagnose the glaucoma based on the CDR evaluation of preprocessed fundus images. These algorithms are tested on publicly available fundus images and the results are compared . Our proposed technique provides a novel algorithm to detect glaucoma from digital fundus image using a hybrid feature set. We will analyses the symptoms shown by different patients and compute and generalize them to reach a decision. This will help not only patients but doctors also to make it primarily practice to follow for new patients We propose a novel combination of structural (cup to disc ratio) to improve the accuracy of automated diagnosis of glaucoma. This technique is almost 95-97% successfully used to detect glaucoma comparatively very low cost rather than the conventional technique.

Biomechanics and Immunomediated Mechanisms in the Cochlear Implant Rejection

Patients with bilateral and severe neurosensorial hypoacusia are candidates for cochlear implantation. Eventhough it’s a relatively modern procedure, it has a very low rate of complications (5-10%), making it a safe surgery. The Cohen classification is currently used to measure and group the complications of this surgery, classifying them according to the moment in which they appear whether it’s intraoperative or postoperative time. We present the case of a female patient who suffered the extrusion of the implant several months after the procedure. She was re-operated successfully, but she returned months later with a second extrusion of the same implant. We did not find any other report of this phenomenon in the revised literature. We present this case with pictures of the repair surgery and the patient’s current condition. We also analyze possible causes of this cochlear implant rejection, citing both magnetomechanical and immunomediated factors.

The objective of this study was to determine the electrophoretic pattern of blood serum proteins and the activity of some blood serum enzymes included GOT, GPT and AP of house Sparrow (Passer domesticus) in Baghdad, Iraq. Seventeen (9 males and 8 females) individuals of house sparrow were collected from different regions of Baghdad. Samples of 1.0 ml of whole blood were taken from the wing vein from individuals to determined electrophoretic pattern of serum proteins and enzymes in three replicates for each sex within species. Results revealed that house sparrow blood serum proteins were separated into seven different regions, these bands were prealbumen (3.68%), albumen (13.20%), post–albumen (8.37%), α–globulin (4.54%), β–globulin (27.49%), γ–globulin (30.15%) and transferrin (12.59%). Electrophoretic pattern of serum proteins were differed due to sex: females dominated males in pre–albumen, γ–globulin and total albumens. House sparrow blood serum GOT, GPT and AP enzymes activity were 38.4, 10.9 and 42.05 U/L respectively. Males had higher activity of GOT and GPT enzymes compared to females.
Facial Expression Recognition Using Machine Learning Techniques

— Facial Expression Recognition has got much attention in now a days. More and more research is done in this area. Facial Expression Recognition has very vast applications in recent enhancements like Human Computer Interaction (HCI), anti-terrorist activity, robotics, behavioral study, driver safety, health care system. Facial Expression Recognition (FER) system can be divided into two steps. First the facial features are extracted from the preprocessed images or raw image then the second step is to classify that expressions. In proposed work we have used PCA on Gabor images. Those extracted features are given as an input to two different classifiers, Neural Network and Support Vector Machine for recognition. The comparison of results achieved using both classifier is discussed.
PAPR Reduction Approach by Iterative Companding and Filtering Signal in OFDM System

: In the OFDM system the main disadvantage factor is Peak Average to Power Ratio (PAPR) which bounds the performance of the overall system. To unbound this factor so many techniques, depends on the system like clipping, partial transmission sequence, Selective mapping method, Companding transform etc. are there. Out of these technique companding technique is a simple methodology to compress or compand the input signal based on the inflection points to reduce the PAPR in the system. Whereas decompander is the technique in the receiver which works exactly opposite to expand the companded signal from the transmitter section in the OFDM. By means of a specially designed iterative procedure, ICTF is able to obtain both an improved Bit Error Rate (BER) and minimized Out-of-Band Interference (OBI) while reducing the PAPR significantly. A comprehensive theoretical analysis is presented, and some important results such as the achievable PAPR gain, impact of companding distortion, and selection criteria for companding parameters and maximum iteration number are derived. In particular, it is shown that the ICTF without de-companding at the receiver can offer a good BER performance. Simulations show that compared to the classic Iterative Clipping and Filtering (ICF) technique, ICTF can dramatically decrease the number of required iterations to reach the desired PAPR with low complexity. In addition, the companded OFDM symbols by the proposed ICTF technique have less in-band distortion, and lower out-of-band spectral regrowth than traditional companding schemes.
