Prevalence of central line associated blood stream infection (CRBSI) and catheter colonization in ICU settings of a tertiary care hospital in sub Himalayan region

Background: Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill hospitalized patients mainly in ICU settings. Emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria makes it compulsory to know the current sensitivity profile of the organism against antimicrobial agents. Objective: To isolate the etiological agents responsible for CRBSI and to find out the spectrum of antimicrobial sensitivity of isolated organisms. Material and Methods: A total of 180 suspected cases of CRBSI were included in the study in which 44 (24.44%) cases were positive for catheter tip colonization. Further isolation was done using standard laboratory procedures. Result: Out of a total of 180 suspected cases of CRBSI 44 cases were found to be positive for catheter tip colonization after which they were divided into two groups 4 (2.2%) had CRBSI while 40 (22.22%) had local catheter infections. Conclusion: Catheter colonization and duration of catheterization has an important role in development of CRBSI which may lead to septicaemia and multi-organ failure. CRBSI must be suspected in the catheterized patient having sign and symptoms of septicaemia.
Keynote - Geophysical Practice of UXO Detection

Summary World War II UXO detection is a present day subject due to the large amounts of ammunition that is still buried in the subsurface. These may pose a threat during digging activities at larger depths. Removal is a four phase process, including historical research and geophysical detection onshore and offshore. A range of geophysical techniques, including their (dis)advantages, is described. The methods selected are based on historical information, soil type, potential disturbing objects and efficiency. Geophysical UXO detection, geotechnics and infrastructure planning are interrelated. UXO detection activities can be reduced by geotechnical information. Infrastructure planning delays can be reduced by on time initiation of UXO detection and removal and careful planning. Planning takes into account in detail the infrastructural activities that will be carried out, its phasing and possibilities for intermediate reporting of geophysical research outcomes.

Estudo toxicológico pré-clínico agudo com o extrato hidroalcoólico das folhas de Cissus sicyoides L. (Vitaceae)

The aim of the study was to carry through pre-clinical toxicological assay to analyze the toxicity of the plant. In the inquiry of the LD50 groups of male Swiss rats (n = 10) were given orally 5.0 g/kg, and 2.0 g/kg intraperitoneally, of the water fraction of the leaves (WFL) of Cissus sicyoides L. Blood was removed through brachial plexus after seven days, for laboratory analysis of hematological and biochemical parameters. In the anatomopathological study, the animals had been examined macro and microscopically, with dissection of lung, heart, liver and kidneys. For analysis of the data techniques of descriptive and inferencial statistics had been used. In the evaluation of the hematological and biochemical parameters of the Swiss rats, alterations in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (FAL) had been detected, characterizing the demonstrated hepatic alterations in the histopathological study. In the histological evaluation of the rats's liver, submitted to the poisoning, reactionary hepatitis with chronic linfocity portite was proven and to lobular multifocal, hiperplasia kupferiana, focal collapses of the reticular tram, absence of fibrosis, absences of cellular atipias and reactionary subcapsulite. The acute pre-clinical toxicological study demonstrated hepatic alterations in rats.
An engineering understanding of the small intestine

The main objective of this research was to understand phenomena occurring during food digestion and nutrients absorption in the small intestine from an engineering perspective. Intestinal flow and mixing processes were simulated using a dynamic in vitro Small Intestine Model (SIM). Of particular interest was to study the effect that mixing and food formulation has on glucose absorption and starch hydrolysis. Results showed the effect of segmentation motion on nutrient delivery to the intestinal wall as a consequence of changes in the mass transfer coefficient. This is most likely due to the increased mixing in the SIM. Experiments of starch digestion with and without the presence of guar gum have shown that viscous fibres reduce the rate of starch digestion and glucose absorption by impairing mixing and reducing diffusion within the fluid. Similarly, use of particulate systems demonstrated a significant effect on the delivery rates. Flow visualization techniques used for studying flow paths in the SIM showed that this in vitro model reproduces the characteristic flow events and mixing found in the small intestine in vivo. This research provides insights into the role of mixing on enhancing mass transfer on the course of digestion-absorption processes and also the action of viscous polysaccharides on the delay of glucose absorption in the small intestine. The end findings resulted in a better understanding of the factors which control the development of new functional food that could be applied both in academia and industry.
Species delimitation in the Andean grasshopper genus Orotettix Ronderos & Carbonell (Orthoptera: Melanoplinae): an integrative approach combining morphological, molecular and biogeographical data

The reciprocal illumination nature of integrative taxonomy through hypothesis testing, corroboration and revision is a powerful tool for species delimitation as more than one source has to support the hypothesis of a new species. In this study, we applied an integrative taxonomy approach combining molecular and morphological data sets with distributional patterns to examine the level of differentiation between and within the grasshopper Orotettix species. Orotettix was described based on five valid species distributed in the Andes of Peru. In our study, initially a molecular-based hypothesis was postulated and tested against morphological data and geographical patterns of distribution. Results from molecular and morphological analyses showed agreement among the species delimitation in Orotettix, and were also consistent with the geographical distribution. The analyses allowed us to delimit five new species for the genus (O. lunatus sp. nov., O. astreptos sp. nov., O. colcaensis sp. nov., O. paucartambensis sp. nov. and O. dichrous sp. nov.) from the Eastern and Western Cordilleras of Peru. We also provide critical knowledge on the phylogenetic relationships and distribution of the genus and conduct a revision of Orotettix. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London
Effectiveness of Exergaming in Improving Cognitive and Physical Function in People With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Dementia: Systematic Review

Background Individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia have impaired physical and cognitive functions, leading to a reduced quality of life compared with those without such impairment. Exergaming, which is defined as a combination of exercise and gaming, is an innovative, fun, and relatively safe way to exercise in a virtual reality or gaming environment. Therefore, exergaming may help people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia to overcome obstacles that they may experience regarding regular exercise and activities. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to review studies on exergaming interventions administered to elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia, and to summarize the results related to physical and cognitive functions such as balance, gait, executive function, and episodic memory. Methods We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Amed, and Nursing Database for articles published from the inception of the respective databases to January 2019. We included all clinical trials of exergaming interventions in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia for review. The risk of bias was independently evaluated by two reviewers using the Cochrane Collaboration and Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions tools. Results Ten studies involving 702 participants were included for review. There was consistent evidence from 7 studies with a low risk of bias showing statistically significant effects of exergaming on cognitive functioning in people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. With respect to physical function, 3 of 5 full-scale studies found positive results, and the intensity of most games was classified as moderate. Conclusions Overall, exergaming is an innovative tool for improving physical and cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, although there is high heterogeneity among studies in terms of the duration, frequency, and gaming platform used. The quality of the included articles was moderate to high. More high-quality studies with more accurate outcome indicators are needed for further exploration and validation of the benefits of exergaming for this population.
Reducing Blackwell and Average Optimality to Discounted MDPs via the Blackwell Discount Factor

We introduce the Blackwell discount factor for Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). Classical objectives for MDPs include discounted, average, and Blackwell optimality. Many existing approaches to computing average-optimal policies solve for discounted optimal policies with a discount factor close to $1$, but they only work under strong or hard-to-verify assumptions such as ergodicity or weakly communicating MDPs. In this paper, we show that when the discount factor is larger than the Blackwell discount factor $\gamma_{\mathrm{bw}}$, all discounted optimal policies become Blackwell- and average-optimal, and we derive a general upper bound on $\gamma_{\mathrm{bw}}$. The upper bound on $\gamma_{\mathrm{bw}}$ provides the first reduction from average and Blackwell optimality to discounted optimality, without any assumptions, and new polynomial-time algorithms for average- and Blackwell-optimal policies. Our work brings new ideas from the study of polynomials and algebraic numbers to the analysis of MDPs. Our results also apply to robust MDPs, enabling the first algorithms to compute robust Blackwell-optimal policies.
Determination of Heavy Metals in Cosmetics Used in Bangalore Metropolitan City

The paper highlights the metallic contents of cosmetic product includes whitening cream and lipstick of different brand and colour and they are commonly used products in Bangalore city. Sample were analysed to determine the heavy metals like Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni) using Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (F-AAS). The heavy metals like Cu, Fe and Ni were detected in all the samples with varying concentration except iron, iron was below detectable level in lipstick samples. The concentrations (ppm) of Iron (Fe) ranged between BDL and 4.4881ppm in both lipstick samples and whitening creams samples. The concentration of Copper (Cu) ranged from 0.5392ppm to 0.5054ppm in lipstick samples and 0.5704ppm to 0.495ppm in whitening creams. The concentration of Nickel (Ni) ranged from 28.2911ppm to 26.713ppm in lipstick samples and 31.383ppm to 27.670ppm in whitening cream. The partial elimination of heavy metals from cosmetic products after manufacturing can be possible. However, the quality of the products can be improved by consideration of raw materials and heavy metal levels. The excessive use of cosmetics should be discouraged by public awareness. Therefore, efforts are necessary to make aware of the users and the general public especially pregnant women and children about the harmful consequences of cosmetics use. It is suggested to regular monitoring of heavy metals and chemicals used in cosmetics as pose health risk among the users.
Sensitivity of out-of-plane capacity to input parameters of Nepali URM walls

Out-of-plane (OOP) is a recurrent seismic damage pattern for unreinforced masonry (URM) constructions. It is usually triggered by insufficient wall-to-wall and wall-to-floor connections. This situation is rather common in Nepal where most of the URM buildings lack of seismic detailing. Therefore, to execute a reliable vulnerability assessment, OOP needs to be considered when dealing with Nepalese masonry constructions. This is generally done by calculating the wall OOP capacity in terms of a force-displacement (F-D) curve. By adopting an analytical solution previously developed by the authors, this work investigates the sensitivity of out-of-plane failure to uncertain input parameters of Nepali URMs. A representative wall from a typical single-story brick-in-mud school building is considered in the analysis. Tornado diagrams are adopted to quantify the influence of the seven relevant input quantities over the OOP force-displacement curve. The results of the sensitivity analysis can be used to prioritize data collection and material testing for the most influential parameters.
Method to the Madness: Tracking and Interviewing Respondents in a Longitudinal Study of Prisoner Reentry

After nearly four decades of growth, the number of people held in U.S. prisons has begun to decline. In an era of decarceration, social scientists need to understand prisoner reentry experiences. Longitudinal studies are one strategy to accomplish this goal. Yet, the retention of a formerly incarcerated population across waves of interviews is challenging due to their transient lifestyles and limited support systems, which may be further complicated by gang involvement. This article details the longitudinal follow-up procedures used in the LoneStar Project—a multiwave study of 802 males first interviewed in prison and reinterviewed twice in the year postrelease—to build rapport, complete interviews, and minimize attrition. We then evaluate the effectiveness of our procedures on important outcomes including interview yields, appointments, and incoming calls. Results indicate that any outgoing contact with respondents via appointment reminders and other reciprocal modes of contact lead to greater project engagement and a greater likelihood of interview completion. We conclude with relevant takeaways for researchers seeking to maximize survey participation with hard-to-reach populations.
Expressed as the sole Hsp90 of yeast, the α and β isoforms of human Hsp90 differ with regard to their capacities for activation of certain client proteins, whereas only Hsp90β generates sensitivity to the Hsp90 inhibitor radicicol

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone required for the activity of many of the most important regulatory proteins of eukaryotic cells (the Hsp90 ‘clients’). Vertebrates have two isoforms of cytosolic Hsp90, Hsp90α and Hsp90β. Hsp90β is expressed constitutively to a high level in most tissues and is generally more abundant than Hsp90α, whereas Hsp90α is stress‐inducible and overexpressed in many cancerous cells. Expressed as the sole Hsp90 of yeast, human Hsp90α and Hsp90β are both able to provide essential Hsp90 functions. Activations of certain Hsp90 clients (heat shock transcription factor, v‐src) were more efficient with Hsp90α, rather than Hsp90β, present in the yeast. In contrast, activation of certain other clients (glucocorticoid receptor; extracellular signal‐regulated kinase‐5 mitogen‐activated protein kinase) was less affected by the human Hsp90 isoform present in these cells. Remarkably, whereas expression of Hsp90β as the sole Hsp90 of yeast rendered cells highly sensitive to the Hsp90 inhibitor radicicol, comparable expression of Hsp90α did not. This raises the distinct possibility that, also for mammalian systems, alterations to the Hsp90α/Hsp90β ratio (as with heat shock) might be a significant factor affecting cellular susceptibility to Hsp90 inhibitors.
