Clinical, immunophenotype and cytogenetic profile of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children at tertiary health care centre in India

Objective: Data on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Indian children being limited, we analyzed the clinical, immunophenotype and cytogenetic profile of ALL in our pediatric patients. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective and retrospective observational study in which data of 103 children with ALL, aged three months to 18 years were analyzed. Results: Definite male preponderance (70.87%) was observed, 58.25% patients were aged between two to five years. Common clinical features included fever (92.33%), pallor (87.38%), hepatomegaly (85.44%) and splenomegaly (83.50). central nervous system involvement was seen in 6.80% and tumor lysis syndrome in 32.04% patients. Hemoglobin was <5 gm/dl in 43.69%, between 5-10 gm/dl in 45.63% patients; white blood cell count between 5,000-50,000/hpf seen in 69.90%, >50,000 in 20.39% patients. Platelet count was <50,000 cells/hpf in 48.54%. Blast cells in peripheral smear present in 67.96% patients of 97 in whom immunophenotyping was done, 82.44% were Pre B cell ALL. Pre T and T cell ALL was seen in 15/97 (15.46%) patients. Karyotyping revealed hyperdiploidy in 9/89, hypodiploidy in 2/89, miscellaneous changes in 35 patients. FISH analysis in 63 patients revealed Philadelphia chromosome positivity in seven (11.11%). MLL gene was positive in 12.70%. TELAML was positive in 13.64% (3/22) patients. 97.06% patients went in to remission post induction. Conclusion: Most of our patients come under standard risk by their age, WBC count, immunophenotyping and cytogentic analysis. We suggest larger multi-centric studies even in developing countries to understand the clinical profile and RT-PCR technique in cytogenic analysis for better risk stratification to help in risk adopted therapy.
Barriers to and Factors Facilitating Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy from the Perspectives of Patients in Maqala City, T3gray Region, Ethiopia

The decentralization and free provision of life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) to health centers in Ethiopia began in 2006. In the T~gray Region, the number of people who began ART increased almost tenfold between 2006 and 2010, yet treatment retention among these patients has been challenging. This qualitative analysis explores the experiences of patients who either continued or interrupted adherence to ART. Conducted at three health facilities in Maqala City from August to October 2009, the aim of this study was to document the facilitating factors and barriers to ART adherence from patients' perspectives. For both continued and interrupted adherence, the most common facilitating factors are a beliefin the efficacy of the medication, trust in the health-care providers, low level of side effects, positive treatment results, and having an HIV-positive friend. Each restarter had distinctive reasons for interrupting the ART. Major contributing factors to ART interruption were the side effects and fear of stigma or discrimination. In urban neighborhoods with a high volume of rural migration, where people lived far from their extended families, ART patients were more dependent on health workers for adherence support.
Effiziente Reparatur von Repliken in Distributed Hash Tables

Eine distributed hash Table (DHT) stellt eine uber multiple Rechner strukturiert verteilte Tabelle von Schlussel-Wert-Paaren dar. Ein verteiltes System unterliegt zumeist einer Teilnehmerdynamik in Form von ausfallenden oder beitretenden Knoten, wodurch Daten verloren gehen konnen. Zur Sicherstellung der Verfugbarkeit aller Schlussel-Wert-Paare ist Redundanz notwendig. Die Einfuhrung einer Redundanzschicht erhoht die Verfugbarkeit der Daten erheblich auf Kosten einer verringerten Leistungsfahigkeit. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt im Erhalt der Redundanz, was die Regeneration verlorener Kopien sowie eine Aktualisierung veralteter Kopien umfasst. Die Regeneration verlorener Kopien ist notwendig um die Verfugbarkeit langfristig zu sichern. Die Aktualisierung ist optional und verbessert die Leselatenz in geografisch weit verteilten Systemen. Die vorgestellte Losung besteht aus drei Komponenten. Der Set Reconciliation Dienst ermoglicht den effizienten Vergleich zweier Knoten zur Identifikation verlorener und veralteter Kopien. Der Aktualisierungsdienst synchronisiert die verglichenen Knoten durch die Ubertragung der Differenzen. Die dritte Komponente ist ein Anti-Entropie Protokoll, dass die Auswahl eines jeden Knotens als Synchronisationspartner sicherstellt. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit liegt in dem Vergleich dreier Set Reconciliation Algorithmen, deren Eignung und Leistungsfahigkeit fur die Erkennung verlorener und veralteter Kopien evaluiert werden soll. Ausgewahlt wurden der Bloom Filter, der Merkle-Tree sowie deren Kombination der Approximate Reconciliation Tree. Die Evaluation zeigte, dass der Merkle-Tree die hochste Genauigkeit besitzt und spatestens nach einer initiierten Synchronisation eines jeden Knotens zur vollstandigen Synchronitat in der DHT fuhrt. Der Bloom Filter besitzt bei der Erkennung verlorener Repliken nur die halbe Genauigkeit gegenuber veralteten Repliken, wodurch die Konvergenzgeschwindigkeit dementsprechend geringer ist gegenuber dem Merkle-Tree. Dafur sind die Ubertragungskosten des Bloom Filter um bis zu 80% geringer als beim Merkle-Tree und weisen kaum nennenswerte Spitzen auf. Die Ubertragungskosten des Merkle-Tree sind abhangig von der Anzahl der Differenzen, sodass bei einer Differenz von Null nur eine Signatur mit weniger als einem kByte ubertragen werden muss. Ist die Differenz groser, steigen die Kosten je nach Bucket-Grose an. Der Approximate Reconciliation Tree ist ein als Bloom Filter codierter Merkle-Tree, der je nach Parameterkonstellation die Eigenschaften einer der beiden Strukturen aufweist. Die Bloom Filter ahnlichen Konfigurationen bieten keinen Vorteil, wohingegen die Merkle-Tree ahnlichen nur zwei Mitteilungsrunden benotigen bei einer leichten Genauigkeitsverringerung gegenuber dem Merkle-Tree.
Detecting Syphilis Amount in China Based on Baidu Query Data

Syphilis has drawn and is drawing more and more attentions globally because of its dangers and spreading speed, especially in China. Thanks to the development of search engine, a quicker and more accurate prediction of syphilis can be conducted. We collect the queries series on Baidu, a company providing search engine service in China. Several analyses are deployed to investigate the relationship between online search behaviors and the actual amount of the disease. Experiments show that accurate and fast predictions can be made using search queries. Finally, we also find that the recommendation of key words can increase the performance. Keywords-search data; search index; syphilis; prediction; key words recommondation

Experiential Learning in Bioinformatics - Learner Support for Complex Workflow Modelling and Analysis

Bioinformatics is focused on deriving biological understanding from large amounts of data with specialized skills and computational tools. Students, who wish to pursue a career as a bioinformatician, are required to have a good understanding in biology and computer science. One of the challenging areas for a student learning in bioinformatics is complex workflow modelling and analysis; it incorporates several threshold concepts and liminal spaces for student learning, which demands higher levels of cognitive skills, active exploration and reflective reinforcement in student learning. Hence, proper learning material and interactive tools are required to support student learning through active exploration and experiential learning. The study presents the successful use of such a learner support tool, BioWorkflow [1], we developed to be used in bioinformatics teaching and research. An evaluation was done with a student sample (n=80), where the first group (n1=40) was given only the relevant course material and the second group (n2=40) was given the course material along with BioWorkflow to visualize concepts relevant to sequence alignment and workflow modelling. Better learning engagement during the experiment, better performance at advanced questions and a positive user response were observed from the students who used BioWorkflow tool, compared to the control group. Student feedback strongly supported the fact that tools similar to BioWorkflow are an essential element for enhancing teaching and learner support in bioinformatics; students appreciated the tool usability and its help obtained for scoring high grades at the assessment.
Image super-resolution reconstruction by fusing feature classification and independent dictionary training

Super-resolution reconstruction plays an important role in reconstructing image detail and improving image visual effects. A new effective super-resolution method is proposed. Firstly, we extract the geometric features of the image patch to construct the decision tree, which will be used in patch classification in a supervised way. Then, we train the high-resolution and low-resolution dictionaries based on K-SVD independently for different types of training sets. Finally, we solve the mapping matrix for the coefficients between the high-resolution and low-resolution training set, which are used to map the low-resolution coefficients to high-resolution coefficients during the reconstruction phase to ensure accurate and fast reconstruction of the image patches. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a significant improvement in the reconstruction effect compared with other classic methods.
Mathematica notebooks for classroom use in undergraduate dynamics: Demonstration of theory and examples

The use of the commercially available software package Mathematica, which is capable of both solving equations and visually presenting the results, is described to assist in the teaching of an introductory course in dynamics. Improving instruction within the classroom environment and assisting the students’ learning outside the classroom are goals of this work. The focus of the development presented herein is on the beginning portions of the course, concentrating on mathematical preliminaries and particle dynamics. Mathematica, frequently employed to teach a variety of topics, is used to parallel and illustrate the formal development of equations in a manner consistent with the textbook. Mathematica lends itself to this purpose, as its syntax is not unlike that found in textbooks. The software also allows for user input thus allowing students to vary the parameters defining the problem and to see the variations in the final results. In addition to containing dynamics problems, the Mathematica notebooks also address the more fundamental, but often more abstract, development of critical mathematical relationships. (The term “notebook” refers to a Mathematica file.) For example, some relationships demonstrate the benefits of choosing particular coordinate systems while others help students understand the components used to describe motion along a path by highlighting the intrinsic triad, i.e., the normal, tangential, and binormal unit vectors. The relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration, as well as the effect of taking the derivative of a vector with respect to time are also presented. This paper will discuss our experiences in creating these Mathematica notebooks, will present some examples of notebooks we have created, and will provide advice for instructors wishing to create notebooks of their own. It is hoped these innovative approaches will help educators to better illustrate and will help students to more easily grasp fundamental concepts that are crucial in understanding dynamics.

Mixed H2/H∞ attitude control of a LEO microsatellite in the presence of inertia matrix uncertainty

Owing to a great decrease in size and weight, the pointing of microsatellite is vulnerable to disturbances and the uncertainty of moment-of-inertia variation. Mixed HZIH, control, giving consideration to both stability robustness and root-mean-square (rms) performance, is an effective approach for attitude controller design of microsatellites in face of exogenous disturbances and plant uncertainties. This paper applies mixed Hz/Hm controller to address a critical condition that during the translation thrusting the attitude of microsatellite is affected by the unbalanced torque of coupled thrusters and the resulting variation of moment-of-inertia from operation mode switch. By using linear matrix inequality method, the numerical solution of mixed HZIH, state-feedback controller can be efficiently solved. The results of an integrated test including reaction wheel dynamics prove that mixed HAH, controller has satisfactory rms performance of pointing control and remarkable robustness to inertia matrix uncertainty by making a compromise between Hz and H, costs.
Rekonstruktion des Mittelohres bei Fehlbildungen

Fehlbildungen des Mittelohres werden in grose und kleine Fehlbildungen eingeteilt. Bei der kleinen Fehlbildung ist der ausere Gehorgang regelhaft angelegt, es existiert ein normal beluftetes Mittelohr. Die Fehlbildung ist auf die Gehorknochelchen mit Fixierung der Ossikel oder Kettenunterbrechung beschrankt. Die operative Therapie folgt deshalb den Regeln der Ossikuloplastik und Stapeschirurgie. Anders zeigt sich die Situation bei der grosen Fehlbildung. Durch den nicht angelegten auseren Gehorgang kommt es zur Annaherung von Kiefergelenk und Mastoid. Der Raum fur eine Gehorgangskonstruktion ist deshalb begrenzt. Kandidaten fur eine rekonstruktive Chirurgie sind die Patienten, die eine gute Pneumatisation des Felsenbeins aufweisen, bei denen die Fenster angelegt sind, der N. facialis wenig disloziert und eine, wenn moglich, bewegliche Ossikelkette vorhanden ist. Bei guter Prognose kann der Eingriff auch bei einseitiger Atresie schon im Kindesalter vorgenommen werden. Wichtig ist die Absprache mit dem plastischen Chirurgen. In den Fallen, in denen eine Operation keinen Erfolg verspricht, ist das knochenverankerte Horgerat (bone-anchored hearing aid, BAHA) die Therapie der Wahl. Jungste Berichte uber die Anwendung implantierbarer Horgerate, auch mit direkter Ankopplung an das runde Fenster, erweitern die Behandlungsmoglichkeiten und sollten in die Diskussion um die Therapieoptionen bei Patienten mit Mittelohrfehlbildung einbezogen werden.
THE EVOLUTION OF PREGNANCIES FOR THE PATIENTS WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME AND OVARIAN HYPER STIMULATION SYNDROME

The ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a feared complication during the controlled ovarian simulation process. In this study we followed the evolution of pregnancies for the patients diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after they had previously undergone a controlled ovarian stimulation, using different protocols, therapy that was complicated by the syndrome of hyper stimulation. The group of participants in the study included 46 patients that were diagnosed with OHSS, aged between 25 and 39, over a period of 4 years (2011-2014). If the risk of OHSS is high, we will not use human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to trigger ovulation. The protocols must be carefully individualized and the stimulation cycles need to be correctly monitored. The evolution of the pregnancies with OHSS can be to term, giving birth to living eutrophic foetuses (30 patients), or there can be premature labour, before the term (8 patients – 21.1%).
Understanding the Key Phases of the Countermovement Jump Force-Time Curve

The countermovement jump (CMJ) test is commonly conducted to assess neuromuscular function and is being increasingly performed using force platforms. Comprehensive insight into athletes’ neuromuscular function can be gained through detailed analyses of force-time curves throughout specific phases of the CMJ, beyond jump height alone. Confusingly, however, many different terms and methods have been used to describe the different phases of the CMJ. This article describes how six key phases of the CMJ (weighing, unweighting, braking, propulsion, flight, and landing) can be derived from force-time records to facilitate researchers’ and practitioners’ understanding and application to their own practice.
Beyond the Limits of Typical Strategies: Resources Efficient FPGA-Based TCAM

This letter proposes a novel approach to design a ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed architecture uses slice registers (SRs) for storage instead of lookup tables and static random-access memory, and a control signal in place of a memory element to accommodate a don’t care state. The proposed architecture is implemented on Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. Compared with the latest prior work, the proposed TCAM reduces the number of SRs by 50.04% while not compromising on throughput.
RheaFlow: An Improved Software Defined Network Router

An Software Defined Networking (SDN) router translates routing information from a standard routing control plane into forwarding decisions on an SDNenabled device. This thesis presents the design of RheaFlow an SDN router that uses Internet Protocol (IP) routing control logic to modify forwarding behaviour on OpenFlow switches. RheaFlow is implemented as a set of network applications on the Ryu OpenFlow controller platform. It utilises the Ryu Application Programming Interface (API) to build a modular SDN router architecture that is easily extendable and simple to configure. RheaFlow adopts and improves the IP routing via OpenFlow based on the approach of RouteFlow, an existing SDN router. The RheaFlow design centralises the routing control plane which is distributed in RouteFlow. It also removes RFProtocol, an internal control protocol used by RouteFlow.
