Bezold Jarisch Reflex- New Interest, Old Phenomenon

Bezold Jarisch reflex (BJR) is an eponym for a triad of responses namely: bradycardia, hypotension and vasodilation that develops upon stimulation of intracardiac mechanoreceptors and is mediated by vagal afferent nerve fibers. Though it was first reported in 1867 it remains a topic of discussion due to its implications in various clinical scenarios. The reflex can be stimulated either by mechanical or chemical stimulators. Often considered a physiologic response, if identified by the clinician at earlier phase, can avoid cardiac complication, it also acts as a prognostic indicator in various diseases. This review focuses on the physiology of the BJR and its possible physiologic role in several clinical situations. We used evidence obtained from a computerized literature of medical databases search using PubMed/Medline/NIH (all articles till October 2019). The search was carried out with MeSH phrase “Bezold Jarisch reflex” and articles were limited to English language only. The relevant published reports, abstracts and human studies with clinical cases to determine the clinical implications of BJR were considered for the review. It has been concluded that BJR is a physiologic response that can occur in number of clinical scenarios. Therefore, simultaneous occurrence of bradycardia and hypotension should alert clinicians to the possibility of BJR.
A Review of AC-DC Boost Converters for Low Voltage Energy Harvesting

This paper presents the different electromagnetic converter topologies for efficient energy harvesting from the low voltage inertial micro generators. The conventional power converters use diode bridge rectifiers and condition the outputs in two stages. Hence, they are inefficient and may not be a feasible option for very low voltage micro generators. So, different converter topologies have come up for direct AC to DC power conversion by avoiding the rectifier stage. Simulation of the different converter topologies have also been made in MATLAB and the results are presented.

A Method For Measuring The Accuracy Of Multi-Modal Medical Image Fusion Using Non-Subsampled Contour Transform And Pulse Couple Neural Network

A bstract : The multimodal medical images fusion is useful in the field of medical sciences. The main aim is to obtain the applicable information from the medical image sources and fuse them together to provide a single output which forms as an important system in the medical diagnosis. The fusion criterion is to minimize different error between the fused image and the input images. With respect to the medical diagnosis, the edges and outlines of the interested objects is more important than other information. Therefore, how to preserve the edge-like features is worthy of investigating for medical image fusion. In term of this view, the project proposed a new medical image fusion scheme based on discrete contourlet transformation and pulse couple neural network , which is useful to provide more details about edges at curves. It is used to improve the edge information of fused image by reducing the distortion. The pixel and decision level fusion rule will be applied selected for low frequency and high frequency. The fused contourlet coefficients are reconstructed by inverse NS contourlet transformation. The goal of image fusion is to obtain useful complementary information from CT/MRI multimodality images. By this method we can get more complementary information.

Translational Research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): The Preclinical SOD1 Mouse Model

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease and is clinically defined by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons, leading to paralysis and premature death. 10% of ALS patients suffer from the familial form of the disease and research has revealed a number of responsible mutations in specific genes and loci. Transgenic mouse models carrying human ALS related mutations have been generated for the study of the mechanisms involved in the disease pathogenesis and putative therapies. Mutations in the Cu/ Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene, accounting for 20% of fALS and up to 5% of sALS, were the first identified to be involved in the disease. In this review, we focus on the first transgenic model used, the SOD1 mouse, which recapitulates many symptoms of the human ALS pathology. SOD1 mouse models have been extensively studied in basic and translational research, in order to unravel the underlying mechanisms, the early signs of the disorder and potential therapeutic interventions. In basic research this model has provided valuable information about ALS causes and progression. In translational research, encouraging results have emerged, but the need for better design of clinical trials is evident. This review presents the impact of the SOD1 mouse models in ALS investigation.

Paper presented on 'Social Media making Clean India campaign work'

When the whole world is talking about artificial intelligence, crypto currencies, India is still reeling under basis amenities problems. Even after 70 years of independence, India cannot provide proper sanitation to its masses, and the previous governments were more focused on employment, health, development, which was going on a snail pace. But, after the emergence of social media and internet penetration, as well as usage of smart phones, one can believe that, India could achieve more from this. However, one needs to apply the mind on how to use social media for public good. Though social media took India few years back, not politics party found it as a useful tool for connect with masses, baring one BJP, which is currently ruling the country with a majority win after 30 years of coalition politics ear, that took India few years back. After winning elections, Narendra Modi led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government focused on digital media for connecting with the mass, mygov. in was launched on July 26, 2014 that allowed masses to participate in government functioning. According to MyGov, it has more than 1.78 Million users who contribute their ideas through discussions and also participate through the various earmarked tasks. In addition to this the platform gets more than 10,000 posts per weeks on various issues. In the same year, on October 2, 2014, the government announced Swachh Bharat campaign (Clean India Mission) under which it said that make India clean by 2019 and give a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150 th birth anniversary. The paper will also look into the growth of internet, social media and smart phones growth that is driving Clean India campaign and other social media campaign in India.
Quality Enhancement of Remote Sensing Images by Object Oriented Shadow Detection and Removal using SVM and IOOPL

—Shadows will occur by sunlight or any light sources. It occurs frequently in a wide variety of scenes. In many cases, this is undesirable due to the fact that they often lead to the result of irretrievable processing failures. In this paper, we introduce a novel shadow detection and removal technique that produces a shadow-free scene. In this approach shadow features are taken into consideration during image segmentation and an SVM classifier based training scheme is used after the segmentation for accuracy and then, according to the statistical features of the images, suspected shadows are extracted. Dark objects misclassified as shadows are also removed. For shadow removal, inner–outer outline proﬁle line (IOOPL) similarity matching is used. Finally, using the homogeneous sections obtained after the matching process, the relative radiation calibration parameters between the shadow and non-shadow regions are obtained, and shadow removal is performed. The proposed method can accurately detect shadows from urban high-resolution remote sensing images and can effectively restore shadows.
