Escala de Glasgow para el coma como factor pronóstico de mortalidad en el traumatismo craneoencefálico grave

OBJECTIVE: To identify elements of the Glasgow coma scale the prognostic factor of mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. METHODS: An observational analytic type case–control study was carried out, for the sick persons hospitalized in the Saturnino Lora Provincial Hospital Surgical Clinical in Santiago de Cuba City, during the period of January 2009 to December 2010, with the diagnosis severe traumatic brain injury. They carried out statistical tests like the chi–square, the Odds Radios (OR) test and the logistical regression pattern. RESULTS: Amongst the prognostic factors that influence the mortality of the severe traumatic brain injury, they were punctuations between 3 and 5 in the Glasgow coma scale, the absence of response to painful stimulus and the bilateral fixed dilated pupils. In the analysis of logistical regression, the variable that explained independently the mortality corresponded between 3 and 5 on the Glasgow coma scale. CONCLUSIONS: The patients with severe traumatic brain injury that presented a Glasgow coma scale from 3 to 5 had greater probability of dying, as well as those with severe traumatic brain injury that don't have motor responses. If they presented with bilateral fixed dilated pupils the probability of dying it rises at the 100%. It is independently evident that the advance in the study of different prognostic factors and in spite of their limitations, the Glasgow coma scale continues to be useful tool to classify and to know the prognostic mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.
The effect of stereoscopic viewing in a word‐search task with a layered background

Abstract— The benefits of stereoscopic viewing were explored in searching in words superimposed over a background. In the first experiment, eight participants searched for text in a normal 2‐D display, a 3‐D display using a parallax barrier, and a darkened 2‐D display of equivalent brightness to the 3‐D display. Word‐search performance was significantly faster for the bright 2‐D display vs. the 3‐D display, but when brightness was controlled, performance on the 3‐D display was better relative to the 2‐D (dim) display. In a second experiment, the effect of floating text vs. sinking background disparity was assessed across four background conditions. Twenty participants saw only the floating‐text (FT) condition and 20 participants saw only the sinking‐background (SB) condition. Performance of the SB group was significantly better than that of FT group, and the advantage of SB disparity was greater with the more‐complex backgrounds. Thus, when a parallax‐barrier 3‐D display is used to view text or other figural information overlaid on a background, it is proposed that the layer of primary interest (foreground) should be displayed with zero disparity (on the physical display surface) with the secondary layer (background) appearing to be sunk beneath that surface.
SAFETY & EFFICACY REPORT

Summary: Bromelain may be of interest to plastic surgeons because of itsapparentabilitytoreducepain,edema,inflammation,andplateletaggregation,as well as its ability to potentiate antibiotics, which may be beneficial in post-operative healing. Bromelain’s reported efficacy in burn de´bridement andischemia/reperfusion may also have positive applications in plastic surgery.Although bromelain is widely used and generally considered to be a safe sub-stance, more randomized, controlled clinical trials are necessary to furtherelucidate its clinical potential. ( Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 118: 1640, 2006.) T he pineapple plant, Ananas comosus , haslong been used for medicinal purposes. Na-tive cultures used it as a digestive aid and asa remedy for skin disorders. 1 A compound calledbromelain, which was found to be highly con-centrated in mature pineapple stems, 2 has sincebeen linked to the medicinal properties. Re-search on bromelain has been conducted fordecades in Europe and Asia, and in recent years,it has been of interest in the United States.

Mandatory access control model merging with role mechanism

The BLP model can provide the good information security mechanism, but it has certain flaw in the usability because of its severe constraints. The RBAC has provided good usability while it has certain insufficiency in the information security. A new fusion mechanism of these two security models is proposed using the role security label and a new security model RBLP is proposed. RBLP can provide good information security mechanism, simultaneously it has good usability.
Random Walk algorithm implementation for unstructured networks

The current peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution systems are constricted by their simple on-demand content discovery mechanism. The utility of these systems can be greatly enhanced by incorporating two capabilities, namely a mechanism through which peers can register their long term interests with the network so that they can be continuously notified of new data items, and a means for the peers to advertise their contents. P2P system we are going to use under the content distribution networks. In one single peer any user registered according to his own interest it can available like long interest specification process. We are going to introduce the unstructured overlay networks. No such user are not select particular item automatically we are going to remove item from the peer. This paper argues that for many P2P applications. This process it can handle with the help of overlay analysis specification. Only one single item uses frequently load it can contains high under the particular peer we are going to use random walk graph specification process. Those load we are going to distribute to another peer with notification messages. This process it can works as a dynamic peer registration process it can occur under the network creation process.
Drug Profile—Saxagliptin, a Novel Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

Saxagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is a novel DPP-4 inhibitor with a high selectivity for DPP-4 compared with other dipeptidyl peptidases and a duration profile designed for once-daily application. DPP-4 inhibitors enhance endogenous concentrations of the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide. This action leads to a glucose-dependent stimulation of insulin and inhibition of glucagon secretion post-prandially. DPP-4 inhibitors have no intrinsic risk of hypoglycemia and are weightneutral. Saxagliptin has been approved in the US and other countries. Phase I clinical trials demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of DPP-4 by saxagliptin in a dose range from 2.5 to 100mg daily without serious side effects. Patients with type 2 diabetes receiving 10mg saxagliptin once-daily in phase II trials showed a lowering of HbA 1c and glucose together with good tolerability and safety. Phase III clinical studies demonstrated a good efficacy regarding glycemic parameters in different patient populations, either in monotherapy or in combination with metformin, as well as a favorable cardiovascular profile.
Explaining hand hygiene practice: An extended application of the Theory of Planned Behaviour

Health care workers' hand hygiene practice is universally sub-optimal. This contributes to the 8% prevalence rate of hospital-acquired infection which is currently costing the National Health Service in England nearly 1 billion per annum. It is estimated that about 30% of hospital-acquired infections could be prevented if health care workers adhered to hand hygiene guidelines. The aim of the study was to identify psychological constructs predictive of health care workers' hand hygiene behaviour in order to determine ways to improve practice. We used a cross-sectional survey of 104 hospital-based health care workers. Data were analyzed through hierarchical logistic regression. The model correctly classified 79% of cases in intention to perform appropriate hand hygiene and 87% of self-reported hand hygiene behaviour. Attitudes and personal responsibility were significant predictors of intention, whilst perceived behavioural control and intention were significant predictors of behaviour. The theoretical framework shows where future interventions to improve hand hygiene practice should be targeted.

ATPG implemented as an educational tool

The authors present an automatic test pattern generation system, called TEST, developed to upgrade software tools in the field of computer-aided design of digital integrated circuits. The TEST system consists of two modes for test generation. TEST-1 tries to generate a minimal test set for the complete single stuck-at-faults in the circuit, while TEST-2 generates a test for selected single stuck-at faults. Experimental results show that the test sets obtained by TEST-1 are nearly optimal. <<ETX>>
Bayesian Inference for SRL with Hybrid Domains

One of the most important foundational challenge of Statistical relational learning is the development of a uniform framework in which learning and logical reasoning are seamlessly integrated. State of the art approaches propose to modify well known machine learning methods based on parameter optimization (e.g., neural networks and graphical models) in order to take into account structural knowledge expressed by logical constraints. In this paper, we follow an alternative direction, considering the Bayesian approach to machine learning. In particular, given a partial knowledge in hybrid domains (i.e., domains that contains relational structure and continuous features) as a set T of axioms and a stochastic (in)dependence hypothesis F encoded in a first order language L, we propose to model it by a probability distribution function p(x | T ,F ) over the L-interpretations x. The stochastic (in)dependence F is represented as a Bayesian Markov Logic Network (BMLN) w.r. t. to a parametric undirected graph, interpreted as the PDF. We propose to approximate P (x | T ,F ) by variational inference and show that such approximation is possible if and only if F satisfies a property called orthogonality. This property can be achieved also by extending L, and adjusting T and F .
A Prospective Drug Utilization Study in Geriatric Hypertensive Patients in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Mumbai

Introduction: The geriatric population assumes great significance in terms of both preventive and curative health care services utilized. The patho-physio-psychological changes associated with ageing make their problems unique. In the geriatric population, hypertension accounts for a huge proportion of cardiovascular and all cause mortality and morbidity. We conducted a study to describe the patterns of antihypertensive drug use in the geriatric population, compare it to the current recommendations and conduct an analysis using the WHO-INRUD drug use indicators. Methods: A prospective cross sectional drug utilization study of 100 prescriptions of hypertensive patients (as per JNC 7) of either sex and ≥60 years was undertaken as per the WHO – DUS and the STROBE guidelines. Results: Statistically significant relation was found between BP control, and addictions and CIRSG score. The 100 prescriptions contained 344 drugs, out of which, 171 were antihypertensive drugs. Three percent of antihypertensive drugs were prescribed by generic names. Seventy nine
Efficient hierarchical matching algorithm for processing uncalibrated stereo vision images and its hardware architecture

In motion estimation, the sub-pixel matching technique involves the search of sub-sample positions as well as integer-sample positions between the image pairs, choosing the one that gives the best match. Based on this idea, this work proposes an estimation algorithm, which performs a 2-D correspondence search using a hierarchical search pattern. The intermediate results are refined by 3-D cellular automata (CA). The disparity value is then defined using the distance of the matching position. Therefore the proposed algorithm can process uncalibrated and non-rectified stereo image pairs, maintaining the computational load within reasonable levels. Additionally, a hardware architecture of the algorithm is deployed. Its performance has been evaluated on both synthetic and real self-captured image sets. Its attributes, make the proposed method suitable for autonomous outdoor robotic applications.
No foto realismo con esgrafiado

A visual language is used when creating an image to communicate a subject. We can visualize our thinking as we can verbalize it. A diagram, a map, a painting are different examples of our visual language use. Line, shape, color, movement, texture, among others are their structural units, and pictorial art have shown their power for communicating messages without words. The Non Foto realism area studies the use of expresion and style in the creation of images for communicating visual messages. At this work, we present a prototype tool for the simulation of the artistic technique called Esgrafiado. The technique gathers elements from computer graphics, image processing, art and and experimental cognitive psychology trying to give a means for the development of visual communication skills to a user-observer. The technique enables the given concepts could be applied by the user into non artistic fields with specific subjects tools.

Traumatic brain injury in the United States: national estimates of prevalence and incidence, 2002–2006

Introduction Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an important public health problem in the United States (US) resulting in disabling conditions and long-term societal costs. Thus, there a compelling need for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation initiatives informed by national, population-based data. Objective To estimate the prevalence and incidence of TBI in the US utilizing several nationally representative data sets. Methods To produce national estimates, we averaged and analysed data from 2002–2006 for TBI-related visits to hospital-based emergency departments (EDs), hospitalisations, and deaths from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, the National Hospital Discharge Survey, and the National Vital Statistics System, respectively. Results For 2002–2006, the estimated average annual incidence of TBI was 1.7 million, including 52 000 deaths, 275 000 hospitalisations, and 1 365 000 ED visits. For all age groups, the leading external causes were as follows: falls (35.2%); motor vehicle traffic (17.3%); struck by/against events (16.5%); assaults (10%). Rates were higher for males than females in all age groups. Falls produced the greatest number of TBI-related ED visits, (523 043) and hospitalizations (62 334). Motor vehicle traffic was the leading cause of TBI death, with rates highest among those 20–24 years. Children 0–4 years, adolescents 15–19 years, and adults >65 years were most likely to sustain a TBI and adults >75 years had the highest rate for hospitalisation and death. Annually, almost half a million TBI-related ED visits, 473 947, were made by children aged 0–4 years. TBI was a contributing factor to one third of all injury related deaths in the US.
Cooperative Intrusion Traceback and Response Architecture (CITRA)

The Cooperative Intrusion Traceback and Response Architecture (CITRA) was originally developed as an infrastructure for integrating network-based intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and routers to trace attacks back to their true source and block the attacks close to that source. Prototype implementations of CITRA have proven useful for integrating other security mechanisms in support of automated response to both intrusions and other changes in security status of a system. This paper provides an overview of CITRA policy mechanisms and how CITRA integrates diverse security technologies to improve system defense.

Toward efficient state space generation of algebraic Petri nets

Algebraic Petri Nets (APN: Petri Nets + Abstract Algebraic Data Types) are powerful tools to model concurrent systems. Because of their high expressive power, allowing end-user to model more complex systems, State Space Explo- sion is a big issue in APN. Symbolic Model Checking (SMC) and particularly Decision Diagrams (DD) based symbolic model checking is a proven technique to handle the State Space Explosion for simpler formalisms such as P/T Petri Nets. This paper discusses how to use Binary Decision Diagrams' (BDD) evo- lutions (Data Decision Diagrams, Set Decision Diagrams, Σ DD,. ) to tackle aforementioned problem in the APN world. The main contributions of this work are the encoding of any APN model using the DD framework and the notion of Algebraic Cluster that tackles the concurrency induced by the token multiplic- ity. The discussed algorithms have been implemented in a tool that is freely accessible on http://alpina.unige. ch.
Chemical and electronic structure of the metal : ferroelectric interface as a function of ferroelectric polarization

Les phenomenes d’ecrantages a l’interface entre un materiau ferroelectrique (FE) et une electrode sont d’une grande importance pour la comprehension fondamentale de la ferroelectricite et pour de potentielles applications comme les memoires FE. Dans cette these, l’utilisation de la photoemission des electrons a permis d’etudier plusieurs types d’ecrantage sur des perovskites FE. En premier lieu, la microscopie de photoemission (PEEM) a revele la transition d’une phase FE monodomaine a une phase en domaines striees dans des couches ultraminces de BiFeO3. Le PEEM a aussi permis d’etudier quantitativement l’ecrantage des surfaces de BaTiO3 par les lacunes d’oxygene. Enfin, la spectroscopie de photoemission (XPS) a permis d’etudier l’influence de la polarisation FE sur les proprietes electroniques d’une interface electrode/BaTiO3 grâce a un dispositif original qui permet de polariser la couche FE in-situ pendant l’acquisition des spectres XPS.
Desarrollo de Entornos Virtuales para el Entrenamiento de Clasificadores

Detectar objetos en imagenes es una de las funcionalidades clave de multiples aplicaciones. Los detectores mas pro-metedores se entrenan a partir de muestras etiquetadas, basandose en su apariencia. Este proceso de etiquetaje es una tarea subjetiva realizada por humanos, que requiere de un gran esfuerzo y resulta en anotaciones poco precisas. El desarrollo de entornos virtuales controlables permite la generacion automatica de imagenes etiquetadas con gran precision, donde los datos sinteticos obtenidos sirven para entrenar clasificadores, son posteriormente utilizados para detectar objetos en imagenes reales. En este proyecto, se implementa una herramienta para la obtencion automatica de imagenes sinteticas etiquetadas para entrenar clasificadores, a partir de un entorno virtual urbano controlable. Como prueba de concepto abordamos la deteccion de peatones a partir de las imagenes obtenidas del entorno creado. Los resultados se comparan con conjuntos de entrenamiento existentes, tanto virtuales como reales, demostrando que entrenamientos sinteticos y reales dan resultados parecidos en las detecciones, y que las mejoras en la calidad grafica y la flexibilidad de los entornos virtuales permiten realizar grandes avances en la clasificacion de objetos.
Counselling experiences at Prince Albert Mental Health Services: a field practicum report

The following is a report providing a reflection of my practicum experience at Prince Albert Parkland Mental Health Out-Patient Services. The purpose of the practicum was to gain practical social work knowledge and experience in clinical counselling with individuals, in group settings and through application of Internet Cognitive Behavior Therapy (ICBT). To achieve these goals, I worked with clients with diverse issues, such as: anxiety, depression, panic disorder, change of life, post-partum depression, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and grief and loss. I enhanced my knowledge in various therapeutic approaches and utilised them to assist clients during counselling sessions. These approaches included a strengths-based perspective, cognitive behavior therapy, and solution focused therapy, within a client centered philosophy of practice. As part of my goals, I also worked with ICBT clients, providing support and encouragement throughout two eight-week sessions and co-facilitated dialectical behavior group therapy sessions with numerous participants. As a result, my counselling skills have improved and I gained insight into the role of mental health counsellor. I conclude with discussing challenges, values and ethical considerations that arose during my practicum placement.
