Nutritional Education for Patients Suffering From Hepatitis C Virus

The aim of the present study is to educate the patients suffering from hepatitis C virus about the right diet for their health and show how such education affect the treatment of the patients of both sexes. Forty healthy volunteers were taken as controls, nearly matching with the patients with regard to socioeconomic status and age range 40-50 years old. Patients were selected from those attending the out patients clinic in Port Said Tropical Medicine Hospital, Ministry of Health. Twenty patients of each group were examined. This examination included clinical, biochemical and dietary recall. Before and after blood samples were taken from each subject to determine AST, ALT, bilirubin, serum proteins, Hb, PCV, RBCS, TG, LDL, HDL and TC. Before and after nutritional education, amounts of the food items consumed were calculated by using the food composition table. Biochemical results revealed that AST, ALT, BIL, globulin, TC were decreased significantly, but TG was slightly decreased after Treatment and nutritional education in all patient subjects. Hemoglobin, PCV, HDL and RBCS were increased significantly in all patient subjects, whereas LDL was slightly increased in female patients as well as significantly in male patients. Food consumption of calories, carbohydrates, animal protein, total iron, sodium and vitamins (B6, B12, D, E and niacin) were slightly differ before and after treatment and nutritional education in both patient subjects. Zinc, and vitamins (A and folate) were increased significantly in male subjects after treatment and nutritional education, whereas, Ca and vitamins (B1, B2 and C) were decreased significantly. Female patients consumption of total protein, fat(animal and total), Zn, P, Ca, animal iron and vitamin A significantly decreased before and after treatment. As a result of these advice and the follow up certain improvement was recorded as indicated in the means values of calorie and nutrients intake four months after the nutritional education. The changes were statistically significant in most cases. The important point in this respect was the increase awareness of patients about the importance of diet for the quality of their life. With regard to blood analysis for liver functions some improvements as indicated by the results of liver enzymes probably this improvement is due to medical therapy and the adhering to the dietary advice. Based on these results, the study recommends that the expansion of nutritional education programs for patients suffering from HCV with medical treatment is very important in order to reach higher rates of recovery.

A Novel Approach For Face Liveness Detection To Avoid Face Spoofing Attacks

-------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT ---------------------------------------------------------- Face recognition is one of the most commonly used biometric technology to recognize an individual from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. Face recognition is more user friendly and cost-effective solution than other biometric technologies. Face recognition system can be spoofed by placing photo/video/mask or dummy face of the enrolled user in front of the camera. In order to enhance the security of system and minimize the spoofing attacks, liveness detection is integrated within the system and is added just before the face recognition module. The aim of liveness detection is to verify that the data is from a live user and is not generated by the artificial sources. In the proposed approach, the facial features of human face such as eye blinking and lip movement are used for liveness detection. User is asked to perform some activities such as eye movement and lip movement according to some random challenge generated by the system and then sequence of images are captured by the camera. After that, the facial features are located and variations in these facial features are computed. If the variations are greater than threshold value and also, the given challenge is equal to the desired response, then the user is considered as a “Live User” otherwise it is considered as a “Fake User”.
Decision making using the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an effective tool for dealing with complex decision making, and may aid the decision maker to set priorities to take best decision by reducing complex decisions to a series of pair wise comparisons and synthesizing the results. AHP helps to capture both subjective and objective aspects of a decision. In addition, AHP incorporates a useful technique for checking the consistency of the decision maker’s evaluations, thus reducing the bias/unfair in the decision making process. In this paper, we give special emphasis to departure from consistency, its absolute and relative measurement providing examples and justification for rank preservation and reversal in relative measurement.
Adsorption of Azure B dye on Rice husk activated carbon: Equilibrium, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies

Removal of azure B dye from aqueous solution has been carried out on rice husk activated carbon (RHAC) by adsorption. Experiments were undertaken by batch adsorption method, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to test the adsorption data. Maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of azure B onto RHAC was 144.93 mg/g determined at 298 K. The kinetics and thermodynamic parameters were also evaluated. The results reveal that the adsorption of azure B onto RHAC become spontaneous, exothermic, physisorption and does follow pseudo-second order kinetics.

Sahi et al: Oxidative stress in relation to obesity before and after maize diet

Background: Obesity is the first of the “diseases of civilization” to appear. Its prevalence is escalating at an alarming rate. Environmental and behavioral changes brought about by economic development, modernization and urbanization has been linked to the rise in global obesity. Obesity may induce systemic oxidative stress. Objective: The present scenario suggests that higher oxidative stress is the key factor of obesity and hence a management strategy aiming at control of lipid peroxidation in obesity by use of maize diet is envisaged. Material and methods: This study has been conducted on 1001 Gujarati and non Gujarati girls aged between 18-30 years. They were further distributed according to age, inhabitance, socio economic status, dietary habits, family history and blood pressure. Every subject in each group was asked to replace the wheat chapatti by maize chapatti for 30 days; the girls were examined for oxidative stress parameter MDA before and after maize diet along with the statistical evaluation. Results: There was a positive effect of maize diet on biochemical parameter of all the girls in all the subgroups Malondialdehyde level in total girls before the maize diet was 2.35 ± 0.76nmol/ml which reduced to 1.8 ± 0.46nmol/ml after the diet (P<0.001). Conclusions: The oxidative stress showed improvement in normal, overweight and obese girls, most significantly on overweight and obese girls after taking the diet (P<0.001). Current dietetic practice is to recommend a healthy eating plan of reduced fat, and increased fiber intake.
Assessment of Surgical Outcome of Laparoscopic Appendectomy in Pregnant Women

Laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy is contraindicated absolutely or relatively through the last 10 years, however laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) still practiced for women in pregnancy. Patients and methods: 297 pregnant female diagnosed as acute appendicitis and managed with OA or LA in the emergency unit of the department of general surgery from June 2015 to December 2018. Results: 162 patients underwent LA, while 117 patients underwent OA. No difference was noticed between both groups regarding the operative duration, fetal and maternal outcomes. However, the group of LA had faster first flatus, shorter inpatient duration than OA patients. Conclusion: Laparoscopic appendectomy has been distinguished with efficacy and safety operation throughout pregnancy and should be considered a good replacement for open appendectomy.

Technique of laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) in pregnant female Procedure has been done while patient is supine and tilted slightly to the left side (20°–30°). The procedure was done using general anesthesia with maintained continuous end tidal volume CO2 monitoring. Insertion of Foley catheter was also practiced and using of pneumatic compression devices on the legs. A prophylactic antibiotic was administrated. Also, prophylactic tocolysis were administrated. We performed the operation by insertion of three ports. The first one supra-umbilical 10mm portion respect to the uterus dimentions (3-4cm higher than the uterine upper level) for the camera was inserted by open method (HASSON method) to avoid injury of the uterus. Another two working 5mm ports were inserted in both sides depending on the gestation age. Pneumoperitoneum by co2 was adjusted to be (10–12 mm Hg). The appendix was elevated and the mesoappendix was divided using the bipolar diathermy or harmonic scalpel. The stump of the appendix was ligated by an endo-loop or intracorporeal stitches. Retrieval of the appendix in a glove was done through the umbilical port site. A drain was inserted to be removed after 1-2 days postoperative.
Decorrelation By Principal Component Analysis For Multi Channel Acoustic Echo Cancellation System

—In multi-channel acoustic echo cancellation (MAEC) system, thenon-uniqueness problem and misalignment problem occurs due to the correlation between the reference signals. It could affect convergence performance of the adaptive filtering. So many methods are proposed to get minimum error rate. In this paper, fuzzy logic is used to get minimum error function. The decorrelation is applied through the PCA method. The adaptive fuzzy fusion algorithm improvises, update and check operators obtain optimal solution for defined objective function. To obtain better solution the control parameters are adjusted. It achieves a superior performance in the echo reduction gain and offers the possibility of frequency selective decorrelation to further preserve the sound quality of the system. Simulationresult for the proposed algorithm has shown a significant improvement in convergence rate compared with existing system.
Growth Promotant Implants and Their Effects on Carcass Cutability and Quality

Research has indicated that implants stimulate concomitant increases in absolute amounts of bone, muscle, and fat; however, proportions of these remain relatively similar to nonimplanted animals. This change in growth results in short-term increased ribeye area relative to marbling deposition, so if implanted and nonimplanted cattle are slaughtered at a common time, the implanted cattle will have a lower marbling score. However, serial slaughter studies involving implanted animals indicate that marbling scores will be similar to nonimplanted animals when cattle are harvested on a physiological endpoint (similar body composition) vs. a time constant endpoint. Therefore, it may be misleading to evaluate the results of implant studies utilizing time constant harvest trials. The inherent mode of action that implants have is on extending protein deposition of an implanted animal requiring they be fed to heavier weights to achieve similar body composition. Understanding the effect different implant strategies have on achieving a target carcass composition, coupled with knowledge of growth physiology and animal genetics, will allow us to use these tools in such a manner to fit a variety of feeding and marketing scenarios.
ATTENDANCE SYSTEM FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE BASED ON ANDROID PLATFORM

— In today's world paper based attendance marking system is used in educational institutes where the teacher calls out students roll numbers. This is a manual process and is prone to many human errors. There are many different systems with different technologies for attendance marking and monitoring such as finger print based system, biometric based system. But these systems have one or the other drawback. To overcome the traditional systems, we propose a drawbacks of mobile enabled attendance recording and monitoring system. It includes a mobile application which can be made available to each teacher and the teacher can run the application and start the process of taking the attendance. The input to the application will be speech which will be converted further to text using android speech libraries. The record can be uploaded to the server at any time for monitoring purpose. The system includes many privileges for students, faculty, head of
Residual Dizziness after Physical Treatment for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. A Review of Recent Literature

After successful physical maneuvers for BPPV, some patient refers a non-positional dizziness lasting several days. In our review we considered epidemiology of the disorder, proposed pathophysiological mechanisms and therapy. The duration of Residual Dizziness (RD) has been evaluated by different authors in a range varying from 2 days to 3 weeks. Among pathophysiological mechanisms, it has been considered the possibility of the persistence of a small amount of debris in the canal, the possibility that BPPV could be a more complex disorder implying a primitive utricular dysfunction, the coexistence of emotional factors, possible delaying central compensatory mechanisms. Finally, proposed drug therapy for the disorder has been reported, as well as our experience. Different drugs have been reported to be useful for RD, including betahistine and anxiolytics. We found that the combined therapy with cinnarizine and dimenhydrinate may be useful in reducing both the rate of patients with RD and the duration of RD.

Spatial mapping of cholera using GIS tools in Chennai, India

Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated by comma-shaped bacteria, Vibrio cholerae. Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to map cholera-epidemic prone areas and determine the predisposing factors in Chennai district, Tamil Nadu. A database was developed to store spatial and non-spatial data showing the source and spread of cholera. The results of this study indicated that Tondiarpet, Basin Bridge, Pulianthope areas had the highest cholera incidences. However there was a decreasing trend in 2003, 2005 to 2009 and 2011 and highest incidence was associated with heavy rainfall. The findings demonstrated the potential of GIS in monitoring the source and spread of cholera which would help to take necessary preventive measures in future.
A New Method to Monitor Long-Term Tissue Stability and Pink Esthetics Around Endosseous Dental Implants: Ultrafast Optical Sectioning Technique for 3D Soft Tissue Mapping

Radiologic evaluation has been considered the gold standard to evaluate the stability of the bone around an endosseous dental implant and peri-implant tissue health in general. However, the radiological parameters does not assess morphology and soft tissue volumes variations. There is an urgent need then to improve our diagnostic field for the long-term maintenance of health and esthetics around dental implants. In fact, while advanced peri-implant bone loss is easily recognized by radiographs, soft tissue changes cannot be detected by a radiological analysis. Furthermore, early alteration of the mucosa is often site specific and discrete and then difficult to recognize. Soft tissue mapping by using an ultrafast sectioning technique may be considered as a non invasive approach to evaluate the long-term stability of the peri-implant mucosa as well as its thickness, creeping, volume maintenance and pink esthetics. The main advantage of using a 3D soft tissue mapping is the possibility to monitor the dynamic changes of the peri-implant soft tissues which are critical to prevent early esthetic and biological complications. Master casts were scanned by using an ultrafast sectioning technique at the time of the delivery of the final restorations as well as at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. By overlapping the digital models dynamic soft tissue changes were recorded. The ultrafast sectioning technique for 3D mapping may be a valuable and non invasive diagnostic tool to assess the status of the peri-implant mucosa as well as the pink esthetics.

Aims: Penile Doppler Ultrasound (PDU) combined with intracavernosal injection (ICI) of vasoactive agent papaverine is an established diagnostic test for evaluation of penile hemodynamics in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). The present study investigated the clinical utility of oral sildenafil citrate (a safer vasoactive agent) along with audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) for non-invasive duplex Doppler ultrasound evaluation of vasculogenic ED. Methods and Material: This Institutional Ethics Committee approved observational study included 36 patients with complaints of ED, referred from the department of urology for pharmaco PDU investigation, between April 2017 and May 2018. All these patients with International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score < 25, underwent grey scale and Doppler ultrasound examination of the penis in flaccid as well as erection phase. Oral sildenafil citrate (50-100 mg) was administered and audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) was provided for pharmaco-erection. Pre and post-medication cavernosal arterial diameters, peak systolic velocities (PSVs), end-diastolic velocities (EDVs), and resistance indices (RIs) were recorded. Pre and post sildenafil cavernosal artery diameters, PSVs and EDVs were compared using paired t test. Results: The differences in the pre and postmedication cavernosal arterial diameters, PSVs and EDVs were statistically significant (P<0.05). On PDU examination, 23 patients showed arterial insufficiency, three had venous insufficiency, one patient recorded combined arterial and venous insufficiency and nine patients were considered normal. Conclusions: Penile duplex Ultrasound using oral sildenafil citrate combined with AVSS is a safe, non-invasive and effective, first-line screening test for assessing vasculogenic ED.

A Survey on Visible Light Communication

: This paper introduces the concept of visible light communication (VLC). Visible-light communications (VLC) is a technology for wireless communication using light that can be perceived by the naked eye. VLC uses frequencies other than radio, and they are unrestricted and licence free. The urgent need of VLC is to overcome the problems faced in RF communication. Unlike existing methods of wireless communication, the visible light portion of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum is used in VLC to transmit information. Visible light communication (VLC) refers to the communication technology which utilizes the visible light source as a signal transmitter, the air as a transmission medium, and the appropriate photodiode as a signal receiving component. This paper provides an overview of applications and design challenges for VLC, compare it with other existing communication technologies and presents the modulation techniques used.
