Prognostic Factors and Survival of the Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Retrospective Study

Introduction: The thyroid cancer incidence is increased in recent years. Thyroid cancer approximately represents 1% of all cancer diagnosed patients yearly. Prediction of the thyroid malignancies was extend from most extremely visible differentiated carcinoma; papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), to the minimal public aggressive, however extreme aggressively growing was an anaplastic type. Aim of current work: The aim of our investigation is to determine the prognostic factors, which are effecting the long-term survival in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Patients and methods: The retrospective investigation was done at the surgical department, Zagazig University. Two hundred and fifty patients were influenced for DTC from 2010 to 2018. All estimated patients were categorized into 167 for PTC and 93 for FTC. Data of 250 patients have been clarified during our retrospective study. Survival data and risk factors have been concluded from follow-up documents, and from the patients reviewing. Results and Discussion: Follow-up 167 patients and their survival data underwent surgery for papillary carcinoma and follow 93 for follicular carcinoma, at the surgical department, Zagazig University. The 10 years survival was 87.9% and 84.0%, respectively. Follow up time is around ten years for 2 groups. Patients of papillary carcinoma (average age: 42.7 ± 16.0 years, male: 47, female 120: (male: female ratio 1: 2.5), however in patients were operated on for follicular carcinoma (average age: 48.5 ± 14.9 years, male: 29, female: 64, male: female ratio 1: 2.2). Our findings clarified a persistent elevation in the number of patients, together with elevated papillary carcinomas proportion, and through this period of study their elevation of early average which correlated completely with our statistics. Conclusion: The outcome of PTC and FTC are comparatively well with decrease tumor-related mortality, and the survival average are get better through the past ten years because the consequence of broad prevalence recent diagnostic and curative protocols. After determining the predicted factors of survival gives us to make the suitable decision for every individualized surgical plan and the extent of the surgical intervention plane, whose needing for follow-up handling, the number or frequent follow-up care visits or outpatients clinics.
Evidence based nursing intervention reduces incidence of postoperative complications and improves quality of life of patients with colorectal cancer

Objective: This study aimed to explore the application value of evidence-based nursing (EBN) in postoperative patients with colorectal cancer and its effect on complications and quality of life (QOL). Methods: In this prospective non-randomized clinical study, we recruited 176 patients with colorectal cancer admitted to our hospital from April 2016 to June 2017 and divided the patients into the routine group and study group according to their will. Hospital stay, nursing satisfaction, and incidence of complications were compared between the routine group (82 patients receiving routine nursing during treatment) and the study group (94 patients receiving EBN). Comfort status after operation and seven days of nursing was evaluated by the General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ), whereas QOL was scored with the life quality measurement scale for cancer patients (EORTC-QLQ-C30) at hospital discharge. Results: The hospital stay of the study group was significantly shorter than that of the routine group (P<0.001). The nursing satisfaction of the study group was 90.43%, significantly higher than that of the routine group (71.95%, P<0.001). The complication rate of the study group was significantly lower than that of the routine group (P=0.002). The EORTC-QLQ-C30 score of the study group was higher than that of the routine group (P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that EBN was a protective factor for postoperative complications. Conclusion: EBN enables effective reduction of the incidence of postoperative complications and improves QOL of patients with colorectal cancer and is thus worthy of promotion in clinical practice.
Collaborative open science as a way to reproducibility and new insights in primate cognition research

The field of primate cognition studies how primates, including humans, perceive, process, store, retrieve, and use information to guide decision making and other behavior. Much of this research is motivated by a desire to understand how these abilities evolved. Large and diverse samples from a wide range of species are vital to achieving this goal. In reality, however, primate cognition research suffers from small sample sizes and is often limited to a handful of species, which constrains the evolutionary inferences we can draw. We conducted a systematic review of primate cognition research published between 2014 and 2019 to quantify the extent of this problem. Across 574 studies, the median sample size was 7 individuals. Less than 15% of primate species were studied at all, and only 19% of studies included more than one species. Further, the species that were studied varied widely in how much research attention they received, partly because a small number of test sites contributed most of the studies. These results suggest that the generalizability of primate cognition studies may be severely limited. Publication bias, questionable research practices, and a lack of replication attempts may exacerbate these problems. We describe the ManyPrimates project as one approach to overcoming some of these issues by establishing an infrastructure for large-scale collaboration in primate cognition research. Building on similar initiatives in other areas of psychology, this approach has already yielded one of the largest and most diverse primate samples to date and enables us to ask many research questions that can only be addressed through collaboration.
Extracting Tehran Refuse Collection Truck Driving Cycle and Estimating the Braking Energy

Driving cycle is used to assess fuel consumption, pollutant emissions and performance of the vehicle. The aim of this paper is to extract the driving cycle for refuse collection truck and estimate its braking energy. For this purpose, after selecting the target truck and geographic area, the equipment needed to measure the required variables were prepared and mounted on the truck. Then, the actual data were collected from the performance of the target Truck while performing its mission. Since the amount of braking energy depends on the speed, truck mass and road grade, the speed of the vehicle is measured simultaneously with the truck mass and road grade. The collected data are then processed and subdivided into micro-trips. The micro-trips are clustered according to the number of state spaces using the K-Means algorithm. Next, the representative micro trips are selected from within the clusters and the final driving cycle is generated. The representative driving cycle shows that the truck speed is zero at 47% of the working time. Finally, the amount of braking power and accumulative braking energy in the driving cycle is calculated.
Knowledge regarding Zika Virus Infection among Healthcare Providers in an Academic Tertiary Care Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Background Zika virus (ZIKV) has become a major concern across the world. It is highly necessary for healthcare providers (HCPs) to have sufficient knowledge about such a disease. The purpose of this study is to assess the knowledge regarding ZIKV among HCPs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Riyadh, KSA, during a two-month period from September 19, 2016 to November 19, 2016. Descriptive statistics were performed on data collected. For continuous variables, data were expressed as means ± standard deviations (SDs), medians, and ranges. Proportions were used to describe categorical variables. Knowledge scores were evaluated and compared by demographic characteristics including age, designation, years of practice, and gender, using the t-test/Mann–Whitney U test or the Kruskal–Wallis test, as appropriate. Results A total of 336 HCPs from different specialties (physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and nutritionists) completed the questionnaire. Significant differences in knowledge about ZIKV were observed by participant's age. Significantly higher knowledge levels were observed among older participants (45 years or more; p=0.011). A substantial difference in the knowledge level was observed by department, with pairwise comparisons showing significant differences in knowledge scores between all departments except for Pharmacy vs. Nutrition and Nursing vs. Internal Medicine. Knowledge scores were not significantly different by years of practice. Conclusion Our study showed inadequate knowledge of HCPs from different specialties about ZIKV infection which needs to be improved in terms of infection prevention and control. Awareness about ZIKV infection should be ensured and maintained among HCPs to face any possible emergence in the region.
Atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery Fibrilación auricular en cirugía cardíaca

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent arrhythmia in the post-operative period of cardiac surgery. It is associated with heart failure, renal insufficiency, systemic embolism, and increase in days of in-hospital and mortality. AF in the post-operative period of cardiac surgery (FAPCC) usually appears in the first 48 h after surgery. The main mechanisms involved in the appearance and maintenance of FAPCC are the increase in sympathetic tone and the inflammatory response. The associated risk factors are advanced age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, valve surgery, fraction of ejection of the left ventricle < 40%, and the withdrawal of β-blocker (BB) drugs. There are instruments that have been shown to predict the appearance of FAPCC. Prophylactic treatment with BBs and amiodarone is associated with a decrease in the appearance of FAPCC. Given its transient nature, it is suggested that the initial treatment of FAPCC be the heart rate control and only if the treatment does not achieve a return to sinus rhythm, the use of electrical cardioversion is suggested. It is unknown what should be the long-term follow-up and complications beyond this period are little known. FAPCC is not a benign or isolated arrhythmia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, so the identification of risk factors, their prevention, and follow-up in the outpatient setting, should be part of the units dedicated to the care and care of these

There were improvement of the mothers' knowledge and behaviors after the program implementation. conclusion the mothers improved their knowledge and behaviors related to protection of their children from sexual harassment. Recommendation: The sexual harassment educational program must be provided for all parents of children to improve their knowledge about sexual harassment, an-orientation program for newly mothers to improve mothers knowledge level about sexual harassment and mass media could efficiently be utilized to offer specific educational programs to community to raise the mothers' knowledge about protection of their children from sexual harassment.
Prognostic Analysis of Elderly Patients with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome Undergoing Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Objective To prospectively investigate early prognostic assessments of patients with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome in the Elderly (MODSE) who were receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Methods The clinical data of 351 patients were enrolled prospectively between January 2013 and January 2018. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), APACHE III, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS) were calculated. According to the outcome of 28-day, the patients were divided into survivors and nonsurvivors. Additionally, based on whether weaning could be implemented, all patients were divided into a successful-weaning group and a failure-to-wean group. Results According to the prognosis, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the APACHE II, APACHE III, SAPS II, and MODS scoring systems were 0.837, 0.833, 0.784, and 0.860, respectively. MODS exhibited the highest sensitivity, whereas APACHE II showed the highest specificity, and successful weaning was conducive to ameliorating patients' prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that underlying lung disease, plasma albumin, serum creatinine level, number of failing organs, and IMV duration were related to prognosis of weaning, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.447, 0.820, 1.603, 2.374, and 3.105, respectively. Conclusions The APACHE II, APACHE III, SAPS II, and MODS systems could perform excellent prognostic assessment for patients with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome in the elderly. Underlying lung disease, plasma albumin, serum creatinine, number of failing organs, and IMV duration were independent prognostic factors of weaning in MODSE patients with invasive mechanical ventilation.
Optimal energy to lysine ratio for performance of broilers from day old to 21 days of age

The seven day period post hatching is considered critical as it is thought to account for 8-10% of the final body weight of broilers at 40 days of age. The digestive capacity of newly hatched chicks is quite low, and increases with age to support growth. By meeting the nutritional requirements of the young chick, broiler performance may be improved throughout the production cycle by means of carryover effects. Not only will this increase the return of investment on feed costs but will also reduce the negative environmental effects that result from broiler production. Despite models using 21 day old birds having proven to yield better estimates of nutritional requirements during the early feeding phase, birds older than 40 days of age are still widely used in models for determination thereof. This trial was conducted in an effort to identify the optimal dietary energy (metabolisable energy) to protein ratio (expressed on the basis of total lysine) for Ross 308 broiler chicks from 0 to 21 days of age. Birds were provided with 12 treatments comprising of three metabolisable energy (ME) levels (11.31, 12.13 and 12.97 MJ/kg) in combinations with four total lysine (TLys) levels (1.3%, 1.4%, 1.6% and 1.7%). Each treatment was replicated 4 times. Following the experimental feeding phase, all birds were fed the same Grower, Finisher and Post-finisher diets until slaughter at 35 days of age. At day twenty-one of the trial, two male birds were randomly selected from each pen, euthanised and these carcasses were analysed for crude fat, fibre and protein. Body weight, feed intake and mortality were measured on days zero, three, seven, 10, 14, 21, 28 and 35 of the trial. Optimal broiler growth was found at TLys1.4 with no differences between ME levels. However, at the lowest TLys level body weight (BW) improved with every increase in ME level. Body weight gain (BWG) was similarly favoured by TLys1.4 during the experimental feeding phase but an inversed effect was observed in the carryover phase, where improved BWG was noted at high TLys levels and low ME levels. Feed intake (FI) was more influenced by TLys than ME levels, with increased FI when TLys increased from TLys1.3 to 1.4 at ME 11.30 and 12.13. Resultant 35 day feed conversion ratio (FCR) did not improve beyond TLys1.4 and differences due to ME levels were only observed at the lowest and highest TLys levels (ME 11.30 being the least favourable). No treatment effects were observed for mortality. The calculated performance efficiency factor (PEF) of the broilers in this study was maximised at TLys1.4 with no differences between ME levels; however, these results were matched when TLys1.3 was combined with ME 11.30. Carcass fat was observed to decrease with increasing TLys levels across all ME levels and carcass protein conformed to expected trends by increasing with increased TLys levels. Results based on broiler performance suggest that TLys of 1.4% in combination with ME levels as low as 11.30 MJ/kg may be successfully used in the early feeding phase.
Numerical solution to boundary layer problem of non-newtonian fluid flow over a moving surface

The paper generalizes the classical Sakiadis problem for non-Newtonian power law fluids. Applying the similarity method the governing partial differential equations are transformed to one ordinary differential equation. The resulting boundary value problem is solved by Chebyshev spectral collocation on a truncated domain. The effect of the power-law exponent on the numerical solutions is investigated.

WEB MINING IN CLASSIFYING YOUTH EMOTIONS

Social media sites are websites used as mediums to create and share various types of contents over the internet. These sites can also be accessed through applications on mobile gadgets. Different social media sites are available for free, and most teenagers or youths have at least one active account. They use social media sites to connect and share their online profiles, daily activities, stories, and emotions. Depending on their social settings, their activities may or may not be seen by others. One of the latest trends that is spreading over the social media is the Korean Pop entertainment or popularly known as KPop. Over the social media, youths share and express how they feel about their Korean celebrities, music, and drama. However, the issue of excessive sharing of emotion-sharing over social media may increase the risk of mental illness and affect their mental health. Their obsession to keep up-to-date with their idols might lead or cause adverse consequences on their emotional states of mind. Thus, the aim of this research is to study the changes of youths’ emotions in two different countries which are Malaysia and Korea that are related to the KPop trend. We extract texts from tweets from Twitter social media sites using the Twitter API as the basis of our study. Then, the keyword 'KPop' is used to filter the tweets. Web mining model classifies the 12,000 tweets into six emotion categories, which are joy, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and surprise. The system then records the emotion changes and the triggering events respectively.
UTILIZATION OF FIBEROLYTIC ENZYMES FOR IMPROVING DIGESTIBILITY IN ASSAF LAMBS FEED

The three sets of 12 Assaf lambs (4 each) feed the following diets: Control, which comprised of 15% alfalfa hay and 85% concentrate feed mixture, (CFM) (on DM basis). ; (T1): Control + 2 g fibrolytic enzymes/h/day; and (T2): Control + 4 g fibrolytic enzymes/h /day. The growth experiment went on for 28 weeks. Lambs were fed diets at levels of 3.5 % DM of body weight. The weight of animals was measured weekly before feeding at 8:00 a.m. to ascertain the average daily gain (ADG). Lambs were fasted for 12 hours before butcher, weighed just before slaughter (SW) and after complete lose blood from the body. Weights of cadaver separable fat, inward and outer offals and body fats were weighted and computed as percentage of body weight at slaughtering (SW). Blood serum specimen and rumin liquor were taken at the last day of treatment immediately before butchering from jugular vein from all lambs. The fundamental outcomes outlined as follows: Feed intake and body weight: There were no significant impact between lambs regarding feed intake, primary LBW and last LBW. Carcass traits:Dressing percentages A or B were not significantly influenced by fibrolytic enzymes treatment.Cadaver cuts: Lambs fed portions with low (T1) or high level of fibrolytic enzymes (T2) significantly raised (P 0.05) influence weights of legs, rack, brisket and flank. Low and high level of fibrolytic enzymes reduced the percent of shoulder and rack than control, but raised the percent of loin, flank and neck than control. Edible offals: Lambs fed portions supplemented with fibrolytic enzymes (low level) (T1) significantly (P 0.05) between the diverse sets relating to head, feets and GIP full. Rumen liquor: pH demonstrated insignificant (P>0.05) values by Assaf lambs fed on control, T1and T­2 diets. All ruminal pH values were above 6.0. Time of sampling had a significant impact (P 0.05) affect its levels. Economical efficiency: was raised to be the highest with high fibrolytic enzymes level and was the lowest with control. From the previous results, it could be concluded that supplementation of fibrolytic enzymes as 2 or 4g/h/d enhanced productive performance of Assaf lambs, but it was the highest with high level of fibrolytic enzymes supplementation than low fibrolytic enzymes level.
Understanding Context Change: An Activity Theoretical Analysis of Exchange Students’ Food Consumption

Context change is regarded as an opportunity to intervene people’s daily doings towards a sustainable direction. Looking at this opportunity from a product and service design perspective, in order to introduce design interventions, the question of how people actually transit their behavioural routines when they are undergoing context change. As the first step to approach this question, in the paper we present the use of activity theory as a theoretical lens to systematically describe and analyze the process and outcomes that context change has in influencing people’s daily doings. First, we report in detail on how we construct an activity based analytical approach to analyze the transition and development process when people are undergoing context change. Then, we illustrate the practical use of our model in a case study for understanding the influences that context change has in South-East Asian exchange students’ food consumption activities. In the end, we summarize our findings and reflections in terms of the holistic and in-depth insights the activity perspective can provide.
