Evaluation on Present Status of Arthritis at Chattagram City, Bangladesh

Most people with arthritis will experience problems and pain in specific joints which is very common disease. Patient attending in the rheumatology clinic of physical medicine and rehabilitation department CMCH, CSCR, CHEVRON and MAXH between July 2019 and October 2019 were included in this study. One hundred patients of Arthritis were observed during this studied. Out of them, 44 (44%) were male and 56 (56%) were female. The subjects were divided into six age groups period of this study. First age group is (17−30) years, and second age group is (31−40) years, third age group is (41−50) years fourth age group is (51−60) years fifth age group is (61−70) and sixth age group is (71−85). Among them more participants were into the age groups 51−60 years and less participants were into the aged group of >20 years. It indicates that over all 51−60 years are more vulnerable age group to be affected with arthritis. Occupation of arthritis patients was an important focusing point of this study. A number of studies have considered the role of occupational factors in the development of Arthritis. It has been suggested that repetitive use of specific joints by workers exceeds normal tolerances and might be conducive to degeneration of joints. In the study, 42 (42%) patients were house wife that means housewife are mostly affected by knee OA, this may be due to long time activity in knee bending position according to our culture. In Bangladesh, women constitute 48.6% of total population. In this study, only 47 (47%) participants aim of treatment is achieved in out of 100 participants and remaining 48 (43%) are not satisfied with the treatment.

Long-term Results of Therapeutic Parent Artery Occlusion without Bypass Surgery for Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysms

Objective: When internal carotid artery occlusion is performed for the treatment of an aneurysm, it is important to judge whether or not bypass surgery should be performed for the prevention of complications by the balloon occlusion test (BOT), but there are no clear criteria for the judgment. In this study, we evaluated the long-term results in patients who underwent internal carotid artery occlusion without bypass surgery. Methods: In all, 33 patients with 34 aneurysms who showed no symptoms, a venous phase delay of within 2 seconds, and a mean stump pressure of ≥ 40 mmHg on a 20-minute BOT between April 2001 and March 2015 and were treated by endovascular internal carotid artery occlusion under local anesthesia without bypass surgery were evaluated. Results: There were no periprocedural deaths, periprocedural ischemic complications were observed in four patients (12%), and they persisted in two patients (6%). On postprocedural diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, high intensity signal areas were observed in 25 patients (75%). In all, 30 patients could be followed up on an outpatient basis, and symptomatic cerebral infarction, which was cardiogenic, was noted in one patient (3.3%) during a mean follow-up period of 65.3 months. The final evaluation using DSA or MRA, which was performed after a mean of 63.7 months, revealed aneurysm recurrence in one patient and de novo aneurysm formation in one patient. Conclusion: With judgment of whether or not bypass surgery should be performed according to the results of the BOT, endovascular internal carotid artery occlusion is a safe treatment with a favorable long-term outcome.
Role of Non-Culture Tests for the Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infections

Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is a condition that develops among immunosupressed patients particularly and requires the prompt diagnosis and treatment. Histopathological examination and culture are the gold standards for the diagnosis, but difficulties in sampling and shortcomings of culture mandate use of easier and faster methods. Nowadays, molecular tests such as polymerase chain reaction are used in clinical practice in addition to serological tests. Combined use of these tests increase the sensitivity and specifity of diagnosis for IFI. Klimik Dergisi 2019; 32(Suppl. 2): 131-4.
Why Do People With Depression Use Faulty Emotion Regulation Strategies?

Why do people with psychopathology use less adaptive and more maladaptive strategies for negative emotions if such usage has self-destructive consequences? Although researchers have examined the reasons for people’s engagement in maladaptive “behaviors,” such as nonsuicidal self-injury, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the reasons why people might endorse maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies. This article addresses this question, focusing on the case of depression, evaluating an array of 10 possible explanations. After considering the existing evidence, we provide a blueprint to help the field reach stronger conclusions about depression and other forms of psychopathology. Better understanding of the origins of healthy/unhealthy ER has implications for clinical science, clinical practice, as well as their integration.
Using ARIMA Models to Forecasting of Economic Variables of Wheat Crop in Afghanistan

Wheat is considered the main food crops in Afghanistan, whether to use it for majority of the population consumption or to use it in some industries and others. Problem: Afghanistan suffers from a large gap between production and consumption, so the current research investigates the problem arising from a shortage of wheat production to meet selfsufficiency of the population. Methods: The time series analysis can provide short-run forecast for sufficiently large amount of data on the concerned variables very precisely. In univariate time series analysis, the ARIMA models are flexible and widely used. The ARIMA model is the combination of three processes: (i) Autoregressive (AR) process, (ii) Differencing process and (iii) Moving-Average (MA) process. These processes are known in statistical literature as main univariate time series models and are commonly used in many applications. Where, Estimation of future wheat requirement is one of the Original Research Article Ahmadzai and Eliw; AJEBA, 13(4): 1-21, 2019; Article no.AJEBA. 54323 2 essential tools that may help decision-makers to determine wheat needs and then developing plans that help reduce the gap between production and consumption. A solid strategy that widely applying of improved seeds and fertilizers, an effective research and extension system for better crop management is necessary to eliminate this gap for self-sufficiency in wheat production, besides providing the necessary financial sums for that. Where most prediction methods are valid for oneyear prediction. However, moving prediction methods have been found to measure and predict the future movement of the dependent variable. Aims: The current research aims to prediction for Area, Productivity, Production, Consumption and Population over the period (2002-2017), to estimate the values of these variables in the period of (2018-2030). Results: The results showed that through the drawing of the historical data for Planted area, Productivity, Production, Consumption and Population of wheat crop it was evident that the series data is not static due to an increasing or a decreasing of general trend, which means the instability of the average, by using Auto-correlation function (ACF) and Partial Correlation Function to detect the stability of the time series, The results showed also, the significance of Autocorrelation coefficient and partial correlation coefficient values, which indicates that the time series is not static.
Methane Pathways in Winter Ice of Thermokarst Lakes, Lagoons and Coastal Waters in North Siberia

Abstract. The thermokarst lakes of permafrost regions play a major role in the global carbon cycle. These lakes are sources of methane to the atmosphere but the methane flux is restricted by an ice cover for most of the year. We provide insights into the methane pathways in the winter ice cover on three different water bodies in a continuous permafrost region in Siberia. The ﬁrst is a bay underlain by submarine permafrost (Tiksi Bay, TB), the second a shallow thermokarst lagoon (Polar Fox, PF) and the third a land-locked, freshwater thermokarst lake (Goltsovoye Lake, GL). In total, 11 ice cores were analyzed as records of the freezing process and methane pathways during the winter season. In TB, the hydrochemical parameters indicate an open system freezing. In contrast, PF was classiﬁed as a semi-closed system, where ice growth eventually cuts off exchange between the lagoon and the ocean. The GL is a closed system without connections to other water bodies. Ice on all water bodies was mostly methane-supersaturated with respect to the atmospheric equilibrium concentration, except of three cores from the lake. Generally, the TB ice had low methane concentrations (3.48–8.44 nM) compared to maximum concentrations of the PF ice (2.59–539 nM) and widely varying concentrations in the GL ice (0.02–14817 nM). Stable delta13CCH4 isotope signatures indicate that methane above the ice-water interface was oxidized to concentrations close to or below the calculated atmospheric equilibrium concentration in the ice of PF. We conclude that methane oxidation in ice may decrease methane concentrations during winter. Therefore, understanding seasonal effects to methane pathways in Arctic saline inﬂuenced or freshwater systems is critical to anticipate permafrost carbon feedbacks in course of global warming.
Combining Simple and Adaptive Monte Carlo Methods for Approximating Hypervolume

The computation of hypervolume is a key issue in multiobjective optimization, particularly, multiobjective evolutionary optimization. However, it is NP-hard to compute the exact hypervolume value. Monte Carlo methods have been widely used for approximating the hypervolume. Observing that the basic Monte Carlo method and the fully polynomial-time randomized approximation scheme (FPRAS) suit different solution sets, we propose a combination of these two methods and show that it performs very well on a number of solution sets.

Evaluating the relationship among agriculture, energy demand, finance and environmental degradation in one belt and one road economies

Abstract The agriculture sector has a 21 percent share in global CO2 emission. It is contributing the 40 percent share in the gross domestic product of OBORI (One Belt and One Road Initiative) economies. Therefore, the present work intends to evaluate the role of agriculture and forest on environmental degradation from 1980 to 2017 for OBORI economies. The cross-sectional dependence, and order of integration are checked by cross-sectional dependence and second-generation panel unit roots tests respectively. Afterwards, the Wester-Lund co-integration test infers the existence of co-integration between under-considered variables for OBORI region. The empirical results from Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS) suggest that agriculture and energy demand cause to upsurge the environmental degradation. While, the forest is improving the environment quality. The authorities may consider the efficient energy utilizing, and eco-friendly techniques to overcome the deteriorating effects of energy usage and agriculture on environment respectively. The heterogeneous panel causality test infers a bidirectional causality between environmental degradation, finance, agriculture, and energy demand respectively.
The effect of elevated CO2 on the production and respiration of a Sargassum thunbergii community: A mesocosm study

Approximately one‐third of anthropogenic carbon dioxide is absorbed into the ocean and causes it to become more acidic. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggested that the surface ocean pH, by the year 2100, would drop by a further 0.3 and 0.4 pH units under RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 6.0 and 8.5 climate scenarios. The macroalgae communities that consisted of Sargassum thunbergii and naturally attached epibionts were exposed to fluctuations of ambient and manipulated pH (0.3–0.4 units below ambient pH). The production and respiration in S. thunbergii communities were calculated from dissolved oxygen time‐series recorded with optical dissolved oxygen sensors. The pH, irradiance, and dissolved oxygen occurred in parallel with diurnal (day/night) patterns. According to net mesocosm production – photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) model, the saturation and compensation PAR, the mean maximum gross mesocosm production (GMP), and daily mesocosm respiration were higher in the CO2 enrichment, than in the ambient condition, while the mean of photosynthetic coefficient was similar. In conclusion, elevated CO2 stimulated oxygen production and consumption of S. thunbergii communities in the mesocosm. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the GMP of the S. thunbergii community to irradiance was reduced, and achieved maximum production rate at higher PAR. These positive responses to CO2 enrichment suggest that S. thunbergii communities may thrive in under high CO2 conditions.
A Computational Study of Sleep and the Hemispheres of the Brain

Sleep and sleep cycles have been studied for over a century, and scientists have worked on modeling sleep for nearly as long as computers have existed. Despite this extensive study, sleep still holds many mysteries. Larger and more extensive sleep-wake models have been developed, and the circadian drive has been depicted in numerous fashions, as well as incorporated into scores of studies. With the ever-growing knowledge of sleep comes the need to find more ways to examine, quantify, and define it in the context of the most complex part of the human anatomy – the brain. Presented here is the development of a computational model that explores the activity of individual neurons, modeled with coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, in key sleep-related brain regions. The activity patterns of the individual neurons are studied, as well as their synchronization with other neurons within the same region. The model is expanded into two separate interacting hemispheres, whose activity and synchronization reveal chimeralike activity. Multiple different perspectives on jetlag are presented, exploring the impact of circadian rhythm changes. Unihemispheric sleep, the unusual form of sleep exhibited by some ocean creatures and species of birds, is observed, as well as asymmetric sleep, which occurs in human subjects suffering from sleep apnea. These investigations provide a new perspective on the intricate balance between the neural activity in different brain regions that drives the essential phenomenon that is sleep.
Pharmacogenomics information-seeking behavior and the openinfobutton solution

Lack of information is a serious concern for clinicians. Information resources can address this problem, leading to improvements in decision making and patient outcomes. Genomics is an information-rich domain where searching for information can be complex. For example, most physicians agree that pharmacogenomics can be used to improve the quality of care, and there is evidence that many patients harbor actionable pharmacogenomic variation. However, surveys have shown that physicians feel their knowledge of pharmacogenomics to be inadequate. This represents an information need. A natural approach to meet this need is to provide context-aware access to the precise information needed. The Health Level 7 Context-Aware Knowledge Retrieval Standard, a.k. a the Infobutton, offers a modality to deliver context-aware knowledge into electronic health record (EHR) systems. OpenInfobutton is a reference implementation of this standard that offers an open-source instantiation. In this thesis, we aimed to provide insight into pharmacogenomics information needs and an automated mechanism for addressing these needs. Such work can aid the design of tools that support clinical decisions in genomics. This work is dedicated to God, my family, my mentor, and the faculty of the Department. They have answered all my requests with patience, and kindness. Their efforts have provided for an awesome opportunity to be a part of the changing face of Medical Informatics. Don’t lose the faith. Keep Watch. Take Heart.
Design Enablement of Fine Pitch Face-to-Face 3D System Integration using Die-by-Die Place & Route

We present extensions to commercially available EDA tools to support Wafer-to-Wafer (W2W), Face-to-Face (F2F), hybrid bonding 3D integration with ~1μm pitch Cupad structures. Proposed flow is based on Innovus™ Place & Route (P&R) tool from Cadence Design Systems and allows functional 3D system partitioning with user specified partitioning information and automated netlist split. Due to fine 3D pitch, the partitioning can occur at lower levels of system hierarchy, resulting in significant number of 3D pins and with die-crossing critical paths. Proposed flow has been validated using memory-on-logic split of a single OpenSPARC-T2 core. L1 memory macros have been extracted from the post-synthesized gate-level netlist using a dedicated automated netlist partitioner. Per die netlists and top-level system have been fed into the P&R flow, memory die being implemented first. 3D structures have been assigned to 3D nets automatically, allowing their optimal placement with respect to the memory macros pins. 3D pin positions of the memory die have been propagated as a constraint for the implementation of the logic die, allowing optimized standard cell placement with respect to the 3D pins. Finally, we have enabled a cross-die timing analysis to assess the improvements of 3D in comparison to 2D. Our results show up to 40% of the total wirelength savings and 25 % on the maximum one, resulting in a 19% timing improvement on critical path.
Cambio climático y salud: retos para Colombia

RESUMEN El cambio climatico impactara multiples ambitos de la sociedad, incluyendo la salud. Sus efectos en salud se deberan al aumento de la temperatura y al incremento/disminucion de la precipitacion y en especial al incremento de la frecuencia y magnitud de eventos climaticos extremos. El incremento de la morbilidad y mortalidad en salud se presentara a traves de diversos mecanismos imbricados con elementos de los sistemas sociales y naturales de los socio – ecosistemas. La respuesta a dicha complejidad requiere abordajes y perspectivas interdisciplinarias que evaluen la vulnerabilidad de las poblaciones sensibles y que se piensen estrategias de adaptacion adecuadas a los contextos locales. En este sentido el presente documento se propone describir los posibles efectos del cambio climatico en la salud y plantea los principales retos para el estudio de dicha relacion en el contexto Colombiano. Palabras claves: Cambio climatico, salud, temperatura.
Analysis of heterogeneous satellite networks with multi‐user detectors

In this work, a heterogeneous network, where both terrestrial‐ and multiple spot beam‐based geosynchronous satellite networks use the same sub‐channel, is investigated. Moreover, the satellite uses same sub‐channel to serve users across all spot beams. Apart from inter spot beam interference, satellite users also receive strong interfering signal from the terrestrial base station. The satellite receivers manage the inter system interference (ie, interference from terrestrial network) while the inter spot beam interference is mitigated through precoding at the gateway. To be specific, the following interference‐aware detectors are used to mitigate the inter system interference: successive interference canceller (SIC) and joint decoder (JD). The proposed decoders are shown to achieve better data rate and bit error rate (BER) than the interference ignorant decoder at moderate to strong interference levels. Although JD and SIC achieve same sum rate at moderate and strong interference levels, JD is shown to allow the terrestrial user achieve higher data rate than SIC.
