Fascia Suture Technique Is a Simple Approach to Reduce Postmastectomy Seroma Formation

Purpose Seroma formation is a common complication in breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy, and it negatively affects patient recovery after surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate a simple method using fascia suture technique to fix the flap and reduce the incidence of seroma. Methods A single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial was carried out among 160 patients who had undergone mastectomy from May 2018 to September 2019. All patients were randomly divided into the fascia suture group (n = 80) or control group (n = 80) and were followed up for at least 3 months for the assessment of immediate and late complications after surgery. Results No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups with regard to the basic characteristics. Duration of surgery in the fascia suture group was longer by about 6 minutes compared with that in the control group (114.93 ± 13.67 minutes vs. 108.81 ± 15.20 minutes, p = 0.008). The fascia suture group had a shorter duration of drain placement (10.99 ± 3.26 days vs. 13.85 ± 5.37 days, p < 0.001), a smaller volume of the total drainage (460.95 ± 242.92 mL vs. 574.83 ± 285.23 mL, p = 0.007), and the first 3-day drainage (224.96 ± 101.01 mL vs. 272.3 ± 115.47 mL, p = 0.006), compared with the control group. The incidence of seroma formation (G2 or G3) was significantly lower in the fascia suture group compared with the control group (28.8% vs. 12.5%, p = 0.033). Besides, there was no statistical difference between the 2 groups in the assessment of other complications, including postoperative pain, hematoma, surgical site infections, flap necrosis, and skin dimpling (all p > 0.050). Conclusion The fascia suture technique is a simple and effective method for reducing seroma formation and should be used to prevent seroma formation after mastectomy.

A Distributed Clustering Approach for Heterogeneous Environments Using Fuzzy Rough Set Theory

Vast majority of data mining algorithms have been designed to work on centralized data, unfortunately however, almost all of nowadays data sets are distributed both geographically and conceptually. Due to privacy and computation cost, centralizing distributed data sets before analyzing them is undoubtedly impractical. In this paper, we present a framework for clustering distributed data which takes into account privacy and computation cost. To do that, we remove uncertain instances and just send the label of the other instances to the central location. To remove the uncertain instances, we develop a new instance weighting method based on fuzzy and rough set theory. The achieved results on well-known data verify effectiveness of the proposed method compared to previous works.

It is known that the imaginary parts of the quasi normal mode (QNM) frequencies for the Schwarzschild black hole are evenly spaced with a spacing that depends only on the surface gravity. On the other hand, for massless minimally coupled scalar fields, there exist no QNMs in the pure DeSitter spacetime. It is not clear what the structure of the QNMs would be for the SchwarzschildDeSitter (SDS) spacetime, which is characterized by two different surface gravities. We provide a simple derivation of the imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies for the SDS spacetime by calculating the scattering amplitude in the first Born approximation and determining its poles. We find that, for the usual set of boundary conditions in which the incident wave is scattered off the black hole horizon, the imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies have a equally spaced structure with the level spacing depending on the surface gravity of the black hole. Several conceptual issues related to the QNM are discussed in the light of this result and comparison with previous work is presented.
Financial prudential behavior and economic growth

The 2008 global financial crisis showed not only that there is a link between real economy and financial markets, but also that financial stability is necessary for investment, innovation and of course economic growth. Regarding the link between real and financial sectors, several studies long before the 2008 financial crisis revealed positive impacts from financial sector on real economy, basically because a solid financial system promote physic and human capital accumulation, see Banerjee and Newman (1993) Galor and Zeira (1993), Aghion and Bolton (1997), Piketty (1997), Levine (1997), Levine and Zervos (1998), Rajan and Zingales (1998). When considering well-developed financial markets as economic growth promoters the researches of Levine (2005), Aghion et al. (2005) and Acemoglu et al. (2006) proved that financial develop indeed accelerates economic growth.
Mother infant face to face interaction influence is bidirectional and unrelated to periodic cycles in either partner's behavior

During mother-infant face-to-face interactions, bidirectional influence could be achieved through either the entraining of periodic cycles in the behavior of each partner or through the stochastic organization of behaviors. To determine whether and how bidirectional influence occurs, we used both timeand frequency-domain techniques to study the interactions of 54 mother-infant pairs, 18 each at 3, 6, and 9 months of age. Behavioral descriptors for each mother and infant were scaled to reflect levels of affective involvement during each second oftbe interaction. Periodic cycles were found in infants' expressive behavior only at 3 months and not in mothers' behavior. Nonperiodic cycles, which were found in some mothers' and infants' behavior at each age, were more common. At no age was the occurrence of cycles in mothers' or infants' behavior related to the achievement of bidirectional influence. Similar proportions of mothers and infants were responsive to momentto-moment changes in the other's behavior, except at 6 months when the proportion of mothers was higher. Bidirectional influence was brought about by the stochastic organization of behaviors rather than through the mutual entraining of periodic cycles.
Effective Harmony Search-Based Optimization of Cost-Sensitive Boosting for Improving the Performance of Cross-Project Defect Prediction

Software Defect Prediction (SDP) is a field of study that identifies defective modules. With insufficient local data, a company can exploit Cross-Project Defect Prediction (CPDP), a way to build a classifier using dataset collected from other companies. Most machine learning algorithms for SDP have used more than one parameter that significantly affects prediction performance depending on different values. The objective of this study is to propose a parameter selection technique to enhance the performance of CPDP. Using a Harmony Search algorithm (HS), our approach tunes parameters of cost-sensitive boosting, a method to tackle class imbalance causing the difficulty of prediction. According to distributional characteristics, parameter ranges and constraint rules between parameters are defined and applied to HS. The proposed approach is compared with three CPDP methods and a Within-Project Defect Prediction (WPDP) method over fifteen target projects. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model outperforms the other CPDP methods in the context of class imbalance. Unlike the previous researches showing high probability of false alarm or low probability of detection, our approach provides acceptable high PD and low PF while providing high overall performance. It also provides similar performance compared with WPDP
STIFF PERSON SYNDROME: A CLINICAL REVIEW AND RECENT TREATMENT UPDATES

Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) is characterized by rigidity of the truncal muscles with superimposed episodic and often painful muscle spasms, heightened sensitivity to external stimuli, particularly tactile and auditory, and high-titer anti-GAD antibodies. Co-contracture of agonist and antagonist muscles and continuous involuntary firing of motor units at rest are the cardinal pathophysiological hallmarks of the disease. The symptoms range from mild to severe and can progress, resulting in significant disability. The multidisciplinary treatment of SPS is aimed at relief of the painful muscular spasms and extreme rigidity. Currently, the treatment for SPS revolves around improving the quality of life by reducing the symptoms as far as possible with the use of GABAergic agonists, such as diazepam or other benzodiazepines, steroids, plasmapheresis, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Intrathecal baclofen therapy has been a very promising treatment option. In this article we will review the presentation, diagnosis and management of SPS.

Utilização da Cetamina no tratamento da dor aguda/crônica em seres humanos / Use of ketamine in the treatment of acute or chronic pain in humans

A cetamina é uma droga antagonista que não compete com os receptores NMDA, o que a torna capaz de ser usada para fins sedativos e analgésicos, a depender do caso. Trata-se de uma droga que já vem sendo utilizada para o tratamento da dor crônica há muito tempo, apesar das poucas pesquisas formais a esse respeito. Este estudo discute o uso da cetamina no tratamento da dor aguda/crônica em seres humanos. Os resultados levaram a crer que o uso de cetamina no tratamento da dor, é eficaz em diversos casos, inclusive para os quadros de dor crônica, embora seja necessário observar-se as contra-indicações e os efeitos colaterais inerentes ao uso dessa droga. Outros estudos demonstraram ser viável apenas como medida temporária. Para uso por tempo prolongado, outras opções devem ser consideradas.
Towards Quantifying the Effects of Robotic Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the automation of rule-based routine processes to increase process efficiency and to reduce process costs. In practice, however, RPA is often applied without knowledge of the concrete effects its introduction will have on the automated process and the involved stakeholders. Accordingly, literature on the quantitative effects of RPA is scarce. The objective of this paper is to provide empirical insights into improvements and deteriorations of business processes achieved in twelve RPA projects in the automotive industry. The results indicate that the positive benefits promised in literature are not always achieved in practice. In particular, shorter case duration and better quality are not confirmed by the empirical data gathered in the considered RPA projects. These quantitative insights constitute a valuable contribution to the currently rather qualitative literature on RPA.

In Turkey, The Relationship of Agricultural Sector and Economic Variables: Panel Cointegration Analysis

That agricultural sector is examined closer from every point of view and is restructured in complied with the requirements of the age has to be structured comes to our face as a reality any longer accepted by every sector of the society. The various developments experienced in the world in the recent years have directly or indirectly affected agricultural sector. In the economy of Turkey, one of the countries attracting attention with its rapidly growing, there are many theoretical studies dealing with the direct or indirect contribution of agricultural sector. However, it is necessary to increase the number of the applied studies introducing the existing situation of the sector and enabling to develop the effective policies for the sector. For, it is highly important for the theories put forward in theoretical framework to be supported by empirical analyses in terms of forming effective policy suggestions. In the study, the three sub-sectors were considered such as the subsectors of cereal, legume, and fruit-vegetable and the existing situation of the sector was analyzed by moving from the macro variables. In order to identify the effects of macroeconomic variables (inflation, exchange rate, interest, monetary supply), selected in the direction of the aim of the study, panel cointegration test was utilized. Setting off from this point, when the analysis made in the study is examined for all sectors, it was identified that the variable affecting the sector the most was interest rate. When the results of panel cointegration test between interest rate and agricultural production were examined, while there was a negative directional relationship between the production of subsector “fruit vegetable” and the variable “interest” as expected, it attracts attention that there was a positive relationship between the subsector of cereal legume and interest in contrast to this.
Genetic Relationship among Wx Gene, AC, GC and GT of Rice

By testing Wx genotype and measuring am ylose content (AC), gel consistency (GC) and gelatinization temperature (GT) of 60 indica cultivars (or lines) and 57 B 3F 5 breeding lines of G4 6B/D Xiang 1B, the genetic relationship among Wx gene, AC, GC and GT of rice was explored. The results showed that there were significant negative cor relations between AC and GC, with -0.836 and -0.906 of correlation coeffici ents in the two material groups, respectively. Moreover, both of AC and GC we re closely related to Wx genotypes, i.e. the materials with GG-type of Wx gene had higher AC and harder GC, however, the materials with TT-type of Wx gene had moderate AC and softer GC. Among 57 B 3F 5 lines, AC rang ed from 20.4% to 27.0% with the mean value of 24.9% and GC from 25 mm to 31 m m with the mean value of 27 mm in 26 lines with GG-type of Wx gene, howeve r, AC ranged from 10.8% to 13.4% with the mean value of 11.8% and GC from 46 mm to 77 mm with the mean value of 57 mm in 31 lines with TT-type of Wx ge ne. So the GG-type of lines always had high AC and hard GC, the TT-type of l ines always had moderate AC and soft GC, and no recombinant lines were found. In other words, high or low AC and hard or soft GC were synchro-segregated with Wx genotypes. It was suggested that AC was mainly controlled by Wx gene and GC by Wx gene or one locus tightly linked to it. On the other hand, G T was not significantly correlated to AC and Wx genotype in 60 indica cu ltiv ars. For the cultivars that had different AC or Wx genotypes, the range of GT was the same on the whole. GT of 21 cultivars with GG-type of Wx gene ranged from 3.3 to 7.0 with the mean value of 4.9, however, GT of 39 cultiv ars with TT-type of Wx gene ranged from 3.0 to 7.0 with the mean value of 5.2. So it was inferred that the locus controlling GT was not Wx locus.
Smart urban farming service model with IoT based open platform

Smart and efficient agricultural production or smart farming using IoT sensors, big-data and cloud service has proven its value for a decade but the effect depends on the agricultural environment of the country or society. In Korea, the population of urban farmers who utilizes small, possibly shared area in farming. Urban farming uses rooftop of the building or even indoor for cropping and many urban farmers may not have sufficient professional farming experiences. However, with information technology like cloud service, many critical farming process can be automated and requires minimal human intervention in monitoring and controlling sensors. In this paper, we propose a smart urban farming model which modifies TTA smart greenhouse standard such that cloud service us integrated with IoT sensors. The hardware design of integrated controller and subsequent software services are specified. This new model can be used to enhance smart urban farming which is one of top 10 agricultural policy of the government.

Cross-Platform Development

Mobile device adoption has increased dramatically within the last decade. In addition to smartphones, wearables and various sensors are among the most utilized devices. At the same time, the multiplicity of devices increases, the number of platforms to consider when developing applications increases as well. It is therefore desirable to be able to generically develop applications and deploy them to all relevant target platforms. A typical approach is given by frameworks, which generate platform specific code. In this article, we examine the suitability of these frameworks. Central questions are access to native system functions, sensors of devices and support for upcoming platform developments. To evaluate the frameworks, we defined a reference application and implemented tests for different mobile devices and platforms. A final framework comparison reveals opportunities and limitations. This, in turn, serves as a foundation for future work on improvements of promising approaches. Keywords-cross-platform; app development; Web engineering; component-based software architectures.
