Comparison of the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on heart rate variability and heart rate turbulence in patients with percutaneous coronary interventions

Introduction Clopidogrel and ticagrelor are commonly used, antiplatelet agents. Ticagrelor has an effect of enhancing the plasma level of adenosine that may alter the autonomic function. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT). Methods Thirty subjects who performed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included in the randomized, crossover study. These patients were divided into two groups. Clopidogrel or ticagrelor was administered in two different testing sessions (1-month treatment for each session). In group 1, clopidogrel and ticagrelor treatment were used while in group 2, ticagrelor and clopidogrel treatment were used respectively. Three times rhythm Holter recording (baseline, 1st and 2nd month) was performed. The HRV (time domain and frequency domain) and HRT (turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS)) parameters were analyzed from the Holter recordings. Results According to baseline Holter recording, pNN50 (5.82 ± 5.83 vs 10.56 ± 8.28; p = 0.03) and HF(nu) (6.85 ± 9.33 vs 9.53 ± 7.41; p = 0.04) parameters were higher in group 2 than in group 1, while TO(0.004 ± 0.02 vs −0.01 ± 0.02; p = 0.01) parameter was positive and higher in group 1 than in group 2. In the second month, the LF/HF ratio (4.47 ± 2.43 vs 3.18 ± 2.45; p = 0.04) was higher in group 1 than in group 2. However, when the evaluation was done within the groups themselves, there were no statistically significant differences in HRV and HRT parameters obtained before and after clopidogrel and ticagrelor administration in group 1 and group 2. Conclusion Ticagrelor and clopidogrel treatments did not have a significant effect on HRV and HRT parameters.
Identification of Pythium aphanidermatum using the RAPD technique

The suitability of random amplified polymorphic DNA for identification of Pythium aphanidermatum was investigated. Three oligoprimers were selected after testing three isolates of P. aphanidermatum and one isolate of P. ultimum with a total of 40 primers. The selected 10-mer primers were used with 20 isolates of P. aphanidermatum , four isolates of P. deliense , two isolates of P. ultimum , two isolates of P. irregulars and one isolate of P. paroecandrum . Most of the P. aphanidermatum isolates (13 of 20), were obtained from samples of Cucumis sativus , or water from cucumber greenhouses. The three selected primers gave identical fingerprints for 18 of the 20 P. aphanidermatum isolates, including all the isolates from cucumbers. Two of the primers gave fingerprints that could be used to differentiate between isolates of the Pythium species studied. The banding pattern of P. aphanidermatum given by the third primer could not easily be distinguished from the fingerprint of P. deliense . However, when used in conjunction with the other two primers, the third primer can be used to verify the identity of P. aphanidermatum .
Parosteal Osteosarcoma with Focal Metaplasia: A Case Report

Case Report It is the most common type of juxtacortical or surface osteosarcoma and accounts for 5% of all osteosarcomas. It typically presents in early adulthood and middle age with a peak incidence in the third decade. It affects females slightly more than males. Patients usually present with a painless, slowly enlarging mass. They are usually located at the metaphysis (80-90%), most commonly at the posterior aspect of the distal femur (60%), followed by either end of the tibia, and then the proximal humerus. Parosteal osteosarcomas are usually low-grade lesions are usually treated with surgical resection and no neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiation. As they are frequently metaphyseal in location, large parosteal osteosarcomas or those with deep medullary invasion may require limb salvage, including joint replacement. Parosteal osteosarcomas have an excellent prognosis (80-95% long-term survival).
Leveraging Big Data Sources to Support the Measurement of the Sustainable Development Goals

The unprecedented data requirement for the SDGs, in terms of breadth, scope and indicators, coupled with a call to harness a data revolution drawing on existing and new data sources, underscores potential for big data sources (including mobile data, social media and satellites) to support measurement of SDGs. The full potential of big data would lie in its use along with more traditional measures of statistics, looking at situations more from the perspective of what needs to be measured rather than what data is to be used – thus a multisource approach leveraging both traditional and non-traditional data could make the use of big data more effective. However, concerns of privacy cloud the discussions around big data, as does the lack of a governance structure surrounding the use of big data such as mobile network big data. Moreover, there are other concerns of possible harms surrounding the use of big data for development. This policy paper serves to better inform policymakers of the range of insights that can be extracted from big data sources, and how they can be leveraged to better position countries to measure and monitor the SDGs. It does this by reviewing the current body of literature that has explored the utilization of various big data sources for specific developmental applications. The paper also touches on the discussion around concerns of the use of big data including governance and privacy.
Whose Private Benefits of Control – Owners or Managers?

This paper empirically decomposes private benefits of control into two components: benefits accruing to managers and benefits accruing to owners. It documents that private benefits of control, as measured by block premium, increases slowly with respect to the ownership level, as measured by the percentage of shares acquired in block trade, but increases rapidly with respect to the likelihood of exercising managerial control of the firm, as measured by the probability of top executive turnover following block trade. To illustrate, for a ten-percent block trade, the block premium is 1.20%, 5.75%, 12.80% if there is a zero-percent, twenty five-percent, fifty-percent likelihood of subsequent top executive turnover, respectively. This indicates that managers enjoy more private benefits than owners. * I thank my advisor Utpal Bhattacharya valuable guidance and comments.

Factors Hindering Tourism Industry Development: Gambella People’s National Regional State, South West Ethiopia

Tourism is a circulation of people who travel to or stay in places outside their home country. It has being believed as a major ingredient in the economic development strategy. However, various external and internal factors have been affecting the sustainable development of the tourism industry worldwide. Although Ethiopia possesses numerous natural, religious, historical, non-natural and cultural tourism attractions, economic contribution and its potential are incomparable. Shortage of tourist facilities, lack of skillful human resources, weak promotion, lack of integration and political will are the major negatively contributing forces. Although Ethiopia possesses massive tourism development potentials with its unique biodiversity and spectacular topographic features, its economic contribution to the country is unmatched. Similarly Gambella Region has endowed with tourism potentials. But, its tourism industry development is in an infant stage. Nevertheless a limited study has done in identifying factors hindering the development of the tourism industry in the region. Hence, the current research addresses above stated problem. To do so, key informants from three zones (n=15), five regional offices (n=23) and 13 wored as (n=65) has purposively selected based on the set criteria. Altogether, 103 key informants were being interviewed besides to focus group discussion and field observation. Collected raw data were being chosen, refined, categorized, edited, evaluated, coded and entered into SPSS software version 20.
The Ecology of Saprolegniaceae in Lentic and Littoral Muds with a General Theory of Fungi in the Lake Ecosystem

SUMMARY: The occurrence and distribution of Saprolegniaceae in and around Marion Lake, British Columbia, Canada, has been investigated by single-core samples and transects in order to determine the principal sites of activity of these fungi. The lentic muds under 1 m. or more of water are generally very poor both in number of species and abundance. The marginal lentic muds are richer but reflect the flora of the emergent littoral muds. It is probable that many of the lentic mud records are for alien spores originating either from the open water community or the emergent littoral flora. These findings are discussed in relation to a general theory of fungi in the lake ecosystem. The majority of Saprolegniaceae are to be regarded as fungi of the emergent littoral. The distinctive acidophile community has again been recognized.

Row spacing and seeding rate effects on yield and yield components of soft red winter wheat

Information to determine optimum row spacing and seeding rates for soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.) in highyielding environments in the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain region is not available. Three field experiments were conducted in the Coastal Plain of Virginia (on Typic Hapludult and Aquic Quartzipsamments soils) to evaluate row spacing and seeding rate influences on grain yield of winter wheat grown with intensive management. Seeding rates ranging from 186 to 558 seeds m⁻² were studied in row spacings of 10 and 20 cm with additional treatments of 744 and 1116 seeds m⁻² in 10-cm row spacings. Intensive management included adequate supplies of P, K, and micronutrients as preplant fertilizer, insecticide, and fungicide use, and split-spring N applications. Measurements included wheat grain yield and yield components. Ten-centimeter row spacings produced 0.6 to 0.8 Mg ha⁻¹ higher grain yields than 20-cm row spacings at similar seeding rates. Yield levels ranged from 5.0 to 8.1 Mg ha⁻¹. Heads m⁻² and kernels head⁻¹ varied with seeding rate to a greater extent than weight kernel⁻¹. Yields did not vary over a wide range of plant populations, but were reduced with low (469 heads m⁻²) or high (897 heads m⁻²) harvest populations. Seeding rates of 372 to 744 seeds⁻² in 10-cm rows were sufficient to produce high yields with the ‘Tyler’ cv. grown under intensive management.

The invasive Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) increases sediment denitrification and ammonium flux in 2 streams in the midwestern USA

The invasive Asian clam, Corbicula fluminea, can enhance conditions needed for denitrification, but the effects of C. fluminea on denitrification in streams have not been measured. In summer 2012, we incubated sand- and gravel-filled boxes in the North Branch of the Chicago River, Illinois (high nutrient), and Eagle Creek, Michigan, USA (low nutrient). One side of the box contained no clams (control), and the other contained C. fluminea. After 6 wk in situ, we measured inorganic N and dissolved-gas fluxes using a continuous-flow approach. At both sites, live C. fluminea significantly increased NH4+ and N2 flux out of sediments and O2 consumption (i.e., respiration) relative to control sediment. Clams did not affect NO3− flux. Clams probably increased NH4+ flux via direct NH4+ excretion or mineralization of clam wastes and increased N2 flux through either increased coupled nitrification–denitrification or enhanced exchange of nutrients between water column and sediment via bioturbation (i.e., burrowing). We used benthic clam density in each stream to scale up effects of live C. fluminea on in situ N fluxes. In the low-nutrient stream, live clams increased NH4+ flux more than N2 production. However, in the high-nutrient stream, live clams enhanced N2 production more than NH4+ flux. The influence of dense assemblages of burrowing bivalves on denitrification may be an overlooked and potentially significant component of lotic N uptake in low- and high-N streams.
An overview of the biological activities of less known wild onions (genus Allium sect. Codonoprasum)

Cultivated forms of Allium species, such as onion, garlic, leek and shalot, are widely used in the human diet and are also respected as medicinal plants. In contrast, wild onions, esspecially species from Codonoprasum , are less well known and remain understudied, even though they are present in local diets and traditional medicines. Therefore, in recent years, the chemical composition and biological activities of several species of onions from sect. Codonoprasum have been intensively studied in order to estimate their potential for applications in medicine. Headspace GC–MS analyses revealed that dimethyl-disulfide is by far the most dominant volatile sulfur compound in fresh bulbs of species from Codonoprasum section. LC-MS/MS analysis of phenolic compounds showed that these species are rich in phenolics, particularly in quercetin glycosides and kaempferol 3- O -glucoside. Allium flavum expressed the highest antioxidant activity in common in vitro assays and high anti-inflammatory activity in human platelets. Allium flavum and A. melanantherum exhibited high levels of antigenotoxic effects by activation of cellular antioxidant defence mechanisms. Allium flavum and A. carinatum drastically improved the activity of doxorubicin (Dox) against cancer cells. In zebrafish models, A. flavum and A. carinatum expressed high anti-angiogenic activity and protective effects against Dox-caused cardiac dysfunction and neutropenia. The results of these rewieved studies are indicative of the multiple beneficial pharmacological activities of wild Allium species.
Expression of NK cell receptors by CTLs

Introduction The term ‘NK cell receptors’ is used to describe the ever-growing collection of stimulatory and inhibitory receptors known to be expressed by NK cells, but in some cases also expressed by other cell types. In NK cells, an integration of positive and negative receptor signaling dependent on ligands expressed by target cells is thought to determine whether an NK cell will attack the target cell.

The proposed work compares the performance of kNN with SVM. Identifying the musical instruments and computing its accuracy is performed with the help of SVM and kNN classifier, using the combination of MFCC and Sonogram with SVM a high accuracy rate of 98% achieve in classifying musical instruments. The system tested sixteen musical instruments to find out the accuracy level using SVM and kNN.
Plant-Based Diet: A Potential Intervention for Heart Failure

Heart failure is a disease that increases the likelihood of morbidity and mortality with an increased direct and indirect cost to the healthcare system. The role of diet in the development, progression and treatment of heart failure is being studied with growing interest. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between heart failure and selected heart failure risk factors: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and plant-based diets as a clinical intervention. The search yielded 416 published articles, among them are three studies that used a plant-based diet as an intervention for heart failure. All interventional studies showed that plant-based diets have a positive impact on heart failure in terms of improved ejection fraction and positive cardiac muscle remodelling.
Lithium Induced Toxicity Profile of Oxygen Consumption, Haematological Parameters and Biochemical Profiles of Channa punctatus and Oreochromis niloticus

Freshwaters are highly vulnerable to pollution since they act as immediate sinks for the consequences of human activity always associated with the danger of accidental discharges. Heavy metals constitute a core group of aquatic pollutants and additional concentrations of these metals accumulate in the aquatic ecosystems as a result of land-based activities. Fish mostly tend to bioaccumulate heavy metals, and humans can be at great risk, sometimes even lethal, through contamination of the food chain. An attempt has been made in the present investigation to determine the acute toxicity of lithium and its toxicological effects on survival, physiological, haematological and biochemical parameters of the widely consumed spotted sneak head Channa punctatus and Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Short-term acute toxicity tests were performed by exposing the test species to different concentrations of lithium chloride. The results showed that the normal respiratory activity of the fish was significantly affected and there was a depression in the metabolic rate at the end of 24, 48, 72 and 96h exposure. Appreciable decline changes occur in haematological parameters and biochemical profiles of the fish. This study reflects the extent of the toxic effects of lithium and the metal-induced cumulative deleterious effects at various functional levels in the widely consumed freshwater fish, Channa punctatus and Oreochromis niloticus.
Morphophysiological variations of symbiotic dinoflagellates in hermatypic corals from a fringing reef at Sesoko Island

Three types of symbiotic dinoflagellates L (large), B (brown) and G (green) found in hermatypic corals from a fringing reef of Sesoko Island (Okinawa, Japan) differed morphologically, physiologically and biochemically. Colonies of the hydrocoral Millepora intricata hosted symbionts of type L only; scleractinian corals containing type B only were Pocillopora damicornis, type G only were Seriatopora caliendrum and S. hystrix, and both types B and G were found living together in Stylophora pistillata and Echinopora lamellosa. The symbiotic dinoflagellates (SD) differed considerably in cell size, shape and structural elements in coccoid state in hospite. SD of these types also differed in photosynthetic capacities, primary production, pigment accumulation and maximum rates of cell division and degradation.Corals hosting various types of SD significantly differed in light-resistance. Scleractinian corals with symbionts of both types B and G, in the same colony, acclimated to bright light by increasing the relative number of symbionts of type G and acclimated to dim light by increasing the SD number of type B. It was shown that scleractinian corals can photo-acclimate through formation of optimal composition of SD types under various light intensities.
