Affordable Remote Health Monitoring System for the Elderly Using Smart Mobile Device

Aging population has been growing as life expectancy increases. In the years to come a much larger percentage of the population will be dependent on others for their daily care. According to a recent report more than 11 million seniors live alone in the USA. These seniors may face serious consequences when they have an emergency situation. However health-monitoring systems are often not affordable for many seniors. The remote health monitoring system presented in this paper addresses the challenge to provide caregivers an emergency alert system for the elderly based on monitoring of their heart rates, breathing activities, and room temperature measurements. The device also allows the dependents to make on demand request for assistance. The remote communication is enabled through the cellular telephone services; so there is no special or additional subscription services needed. This is essential to make the device more affordable for the elderly. We expect that this affordable remote health-monitoring system can be used to help seniors who live alone be safer and healthier.

Epidémie régionale de S. enteritidis lysotype 5 dans un élevage avicole en autriche

Au cours du printemps et de l'ete 2002, le Nazionale Referenzzentrale fur Salmonellen (Centre National de Reference autrichien pour les salmonelles - NRCS) a observe un foyer d'infections humaines a Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica ser. Enteritidis lysotype 5 (S. Enteritidis PT5) dans deux districts proches l'un de l'autre en Autriche. En 1999, une epidemie egalement liee a S. Enteritidis PT5 etait survenue dans cette region chez un producteur avicole (6 000 poules environ). L'attention a donc ete a nouveau portee sur cet elevage. Les analyses bacteriologiques des echantillons preleves dans cette ferme et les investigations epidemiologiques ont montre que l'epidemie de 2002 etait liee au meme producteur que l'epidemie de 1999. Les 70 isolats humains de S. Enteritidis PT5 confirmee en 2002 ne representaient qu'une minorite de toutes les infections. Il est probable que plusieurs centaines d'infections soient survenues au cours de l'epidemie de 2002. Depuis aout 2001, les nouvelles vagues d'elevage n'etaient plus vaccinees contre Salmonella. Il est probable que ce changement ait cause la reapparition des infections a S. Enteritidis PT5. Des la fin du mois de septembre 2002, plus aucun œuf provenant de poules non traitees n'etait mis en vente. En octobre 2002, seul un isolat de S. Enteritidis PT5 a ete confirme dans la region.
Les facteurs de risqué génétiques de la maladie thromboembolique veineuse

pathologie fréquente dont l’incidence annuelle (augmentant avec l’âge) est estimée à 1/1 000 sujet. Elle est dominée par la thrombose veineuse des membres inférieurs et sa complication, l’embolie pulmonaire. La pathogenèse de la MTE n’est pas clairement établie, mais il est admis que le processus est influencé par des interactions complexes entre des facteurs génétiques, le plus souvent en rapport avec des anomalies constitutionnelles de l’hémostase, et des facteurs environnementaux, classiquement appelés “facteurs de risque”. Ces facteurs de risque peuvent différer selon que la MTE est veineuse ou artérielle. Les facteurs de risque acquis de la MTE veineuse (âge, immobilisation prolongée, chirurgie [notamment orthopédique], contraception orale et traitement substitutif hormonal, grossesse et post-partum, cancer, états infectieux, syndrome des anticorps antiphospholipides, syndromes myéloprolifératifs, etc.) ne seront pas détaillés ici. Classiquement, la “thrombophilie” désigne une tendance aux thromboses récidivantes associées à des anomalies moléculaires congénitales ou acquises prédisposantes. On parle de “thrombophilie familiale” lorsqu’au moins deux sujets apparentés présentent une MTE avec coségrégation de l’anomalie.
Enfermedad pulmonar intersticial del lactante

La enfermedad pulmonar intersticial (EPI) constituye un grupo heterogéneo de patologías. Algunas son exclusivas de niños menores de 2 años, para los cuales se ha propuesto un nuevo esquema de clasificación. El diagnóstico requiere de sospecha clínica, estudio radiológico, y en general biopsia pulmonar. Hay presencia de taquipnea, retracciones, crepitaciones, hipoxemia, infiltrados intersticiales y enfermedad restrictiva. El tratamiento de elección son los corticoides, en casos severos el trasplante. Algunas presentan buen pronóstico, otras iniciadas en período neonatal tienen a menudo una evolución fatal.
Determinants of seizure occurrence in preeclampsia before commencing and during treatment with magnesium sulphate

Background: Eclampsia is considered as a consequence of severe preeclampsia, with magnesium sulphate regarded as gold standard in seizure treatment and prophylaxis. Convulsions have however been noted when criteria for severe preeclampsia were not met and in patients undergoing treatment with magnesium sulphate. Methods: A secondary analysis of data obtained from a prospective cross sectional study, involving assessment of clinical and biochemical markers of preeclampsia including magnesium in 75 patients with severe preeclampsia who were given magnesium sulphate using the Pritchard regimen. Results: Headache (p = 0.002), vomiting (p = 0.005) and prior occurrence of seizures before presentation (p = 0.001), were significant risk factors for occurrence of convulsions. In addition, serum magnesium levels were significantly lower (1.61±0.32 mg/dL) among patients who had seizures than in those who did not (2.01±0.25 mg/dL), (p<0.001). Systolic blood pressure (p = 0.22), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.29), mean arterial blood pressure (p = 0.17) and proteinuria (p = 0.18) however did not determine the occurrence of seizures. Only 3/49 (6.1%) of the patients with severe hypertension (MAP≥125 mmHg) fitted, compared to 6/26 (23.1%) with mild hypertension (MAP<125mmHg) who convulsed (p = 0.04). Convulsion during treatment with MgS04 was associated with significantly lower levels of serum magnesium (4.04±0.5 mg/dL), than 4.63±0.5 mg/dL observed among patients with severe preeclampsia who did not convulse (p = 0.04). Conclusions: Headache, vomiting, prior convulsion and low serum magnesium levels preceded the occurrence of fits before treatment while, prior convulsion and low serum magnesium level consistently preceded the occurrence of fits during treatment of preeclampsia with magnesium sulphate.
Food calling in wild ravens (
 Corvus corax
 ) revisited: Who is addressed?

Numerous birds and mammals use vocal signals to advertise feeding opportunities but often such signals vary with individual and contextual factors. Non-breeding ravens call at food that is difficult to access, resulting in the attraction of nearby conspecifics. Although callers may benefit from group formation in various ways, we recently found substantial individual variation in food calling. We here explored whether this variation can be partly explained by the social dynamics in raven foraging groups, together with already known effects of age class and sex. Specifically, we expected ravens to respond to the presence or absence of affiliates that could act as cooperative partners in the forthcoming feeding event, that is they should call when other ravens were present but they themselves were alone rather than when they were also in company of an affiliation partner. We observed the vocal behaviour of individually marked wild ravens and, simultaneously, categorized their affiliative behaviour with other ravens in the minutes before experimentally controlled feedings. In line with our prediction, individuals were less likely to produce food-associated calls when they were in close contact with an affiliation partner prior to feeding as compared to when they were alone. Furthermore, sex and age class influenced food calling as females called more often than males and younger birds called more often than adult ravens. In conclusion, these results suggest that ravens attempt to find support from a particular cooperative partner by broadly advertise feeding opportunities via food-associated calls, especially when they have low chances in contest competition due to their age and sex. These findings lend further support to the assumption of raven flocks being structured by social relationships and individual birds flexibly controlling their vocal signalling according to the current flock composition.
THE ROLE OF ACIDE-BASE PROPERTIES OF NANOPARTICLES IN CANCER CELLS VIABILITY

Tumor acidity is caused by increase in protons generation from the anaerobic metabolism of cancer cells through the overexpression of M2-PK, a dimeric isoenzyme of pyruvate kinase Consequently, tumors have a signiﬁcantly lower extracellular pH (~6.5–7.1) in comparison to normal tissues (7.4), due to the maintenance of proton efﬂux pumps [2]. extracellular of
Discovering Topics With Neural Topic Models Built From PLSA Loss

In this paper we present a model for unsupervised topic discovery in texts corpora. The proposed model uses documents, words, and topics lookup table embedding as neural network model parameters to build probabilities of words given topics, and probabilities of topics given documents. These probabilities are used to recover by marginalization probabilities of words given documents. For very large corpora where the number of documents can be in the order of billions, using a neural auto-encoder based document embedding is more scalable then using a lookup table embedding as classically done. We thus extended the lookup based document embedding model to continuous auto-encoder based model. Our models are trained using probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) assumptions. We evaluated our models on six datasets with a rich variety of contents. Conducted experiments demonstrate that the proposed neural topic models are very effective in capturing relevant topics. Furthermore, considering perplexity metric, conducted evaluation benchmarks show that our topic models outperform latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model which is classically used to address topic discovery tasks.
Micronutrients in Long-Term Care (LTC): Issues and opportunities for improvement

Micronutrient deficiency is a potentially prevalent form of malnutrition among long-term care (LTC) residents, influencing health, function and quality of life. Eating difficulties, taste changes, and decreased appetite often hinder food intake. This review maps the literature on micronutrient consumption and biochemical status in LTC residents. Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework was used to conduct, a comprehensive search of four electronic databases. A total of 3342 citations were identified and post screening, data from 50 studies was extracted. Vitamin D, folate, calcium, vitamin E and B6 were identified to be consistently <50% Recommended Dietary Allowance for LTC residents using food intake data. Several other nutrients were consumed at 50-99% of the RDA. More than one study found biomarkers to be low for vitamin D, C, folate, and iron. These findings suggest that micronutrient intake and biochemical status are suboptimal for key nutrients in LTC.
Mental stress-induced platelet activation and increases in C-reactive protein concentration in coronary artery disease

Stress and other psychosocial factors influence the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). We tested the hypotheses that plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) would increase in response to acute mental stress, and that CAD patients would have larger or more prolonged increases in platelet activation in response to stress than healthy controls. 17 CAD patients were compared with 22 age-matched controls on responses to standardized mental stress tests. Acute mental stress induced small but significant increases in CRP concentration. Platelet activation increased a similar amount in patients and controls, but was prolonged for a longer period post-stress in CAD patients. The rise in platelet activation correlated with stress-induced increases in CRP in patients but not controls. We conclude that inflammatory responses and platelet activation may be pathways through which psychological stress affects the development of atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes.
Clinical Service Lines as a Competitive Strategy among Tertiary Eye Care Hospitals in Urban India

Consumers (patients) and caregivers today are more engaged with each other in their healthcare decisions than ever before. With substantial private investments and increased awareness on the need for eye care in urban India, there is also a heightened sense of competition and consumerism in the tertiary eye care hospital space in India. Consequently, the focus has now shifted to quality and cost of service delivery, wherein looking beyond the conventional service delivery model may prove to be crucial. This paper attempts to propose the introduction of clinical service lines as a conceptual model for eye care hospitals to effectively compete. The service line model will pave the way to define and deliver services more attuned to consumer needs, thus creating market-savvy competitors.
Market Integration Assessment a Block Chain of Technologies in Regional Economic Systems in Comparison to the Global Supply Chain Management (On the Example of Regions of the Volga Federal District)

The article discloses methodological approaches to quantifying the level of penetration of block chain technologies into the regional socio-economic environment in comparison to the supply chain strategies. Based on the methods of mathematical and statistical analysis, it allows you to formalize and convert a large array of data of a qualitative order into a single scale for measuring the process under study - the level of demand in the regional socio-economic environment for block chain technology. The developed methodology is based on the theory of reputational economics, which allows, based on a system analysis of the global information space, to identify the level of demand for the research object in regional markets. Based on the collected and processed array of information and statistical data, the work carried out estimates of the index of reputation capital in the field of block chain technologies in the regions of the Volga Federal District for the period from 2010 to 2018. Based on the presented calculation data, a scientifically-based conclusion was obtained, according to which the regional â€œblock chainâ€ processes are beginning to take over the regional space of Russia more and more every year. Moreover, undoubtedly, as well as for any other phenomenon, this process is very differentiated in terms of penetration into the regional environment. In accordance with the estimates obtained, the regions with the highest level of demand for block chain technology and the outsider regions were identified. The implemented algorithm for the formalized assessment of the penetration of distributed data storage technologies into the regional environment creates the basis for a comparative analysis of the development efficiency of regions, determining their current and future competitiveness in the context of globalization and digitalization of reproduction processes.

Evolution of Fish and Shellfish Supplies Originating from Wild Fisheries in Thailand Between 1995 and 2015

Fisheries resources play a crucial role in economic development, food security, and healthy nutrition for humans. Consequently, fisheries are of paramount importance for several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDGs 1 and 8, which are related to poverty and economic growth, as well as SDGs 2 and 3, which are about zero hunger and good health. On the other hand, fisheries can also negatively influence the ecosystem (SDG 14, life below water). Thailand is one of the world’s most significant producers and exporters of fisheries products. This present work describes the evolution of wild fisheries production in Thailand for over twenty years and discusses its impact on fish and shellfish supplies. The present overview uses mainly the official statistical catch data of Thailand. From 1995 to 2015, Thailand’s marine fisheries production gradually decreased from approximately 2.8 million tonnes to 1.3 million tonnes per year. Concerning taxonomic composition of the catches, no dramatic shifts were recorded during the 20-year period. The main observation seems that for less abundant taxa, such as Chirocentridae, Sillaginidae, Ariidae, Sharks, and Psettodidae, their part in the catch was halved between 1995 and 2015. On the other hand, inland capture fisheries remained constant at 0.2 million tonnes per year. The annual value of wild fisheries production was, on average US$1.7 billion. Notably, trawl fishing systematically reduced during these two decennia, resulting in a fishing efficiency of approximately 140 tonnes of demersal fish per trawl unit per year in 2015. During 2008–2015, the number of registered gill net fishing boats drastically increased from 2,300 to 6,600, and this has led to a dramatic decline in fishing efficiency to about 10% in 2014–2015. More in general, Thailand’s continuous decline in marine capture production was linked to increased fuel prices, tightening restrictions by neighbouring countries for access into their exclusive economic zone, and the depletion of resources due to overfishing and illegal fishing. Against rising concerns about the sustainability of intensive fishing practices in recent years, Thailand is ramping up efforts to reduce the exploitation of fishery resources to levels that would achieve maximum sustainable yields. In particular, the intensity of fishing based on gill nets needs to be addressed in the future. Hence, Thailand’s fisheries production faces the pressure of realising the importance of sustainable fisheries resources management and its impact on marine life and biodiversity, in addition to its role as a significant food source for a healthy population.

Generation of picosecond pulses with 150 W of average and 0.92 MW of peak power from an Yb-doped tapered fiber MOPA

In this paper, we demonstrate possibility of simultaneous achievement of high peak and high average power in picosecond pulses using a monolithic amplifier based on a long Yb-doped tapered fiber. Due to a very high pump absorption (~ 25 dB/m at 976 nm) in the realized 2.4 m long tapered fiber most of the pump is absorbed near the thick tapered fiber end and a very small fraction of pump power reaches thin fiber end. As a result, signal passes through the thin part of the tapered fiber without an amplification and exhibits fast growth only near the output tapered fiber end, where a mode field diameter is large (35 μm at 1064 nm for 46 μm output core diameter), so that pulses can be amplified to a high peak power. Moreover, only a negligible fraction of pump radiation leaks at the conic part of the tapered fiber, because its most part was absorbed in the thick tapered fiber part. Thus a safe operation without polymer burning at a leakage point is possible up to a very high pump power. The developed tapered fiber was used in a final amplification stage of the all-fiber pulsed laser system, which allowed us to amplify 8.3 ps pulses with repetition rate of 18.4 MHz and central wavelength of 1064 nm to 150 W of average power and 0.92 MW peak power. The average power level was limited only by available pump power (230 W): no signs of transverse mode instability effects were observed.
