The Prevalence of Anemia in Hospitalized Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) and the Relationship Between the Severity of Anemia and the Severity of DFU

Background and aims: We aim to determine the prevalence of anemia in hospitalized patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and estimate the relationship between the severity of anemia and diabetic foot ulcer. Materials and methods: We retrospectively collected and evaluated the data of 323 patients hospitalized with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). We included 299 type 2 diabetic patients with foot ulcers of neuropathic or neuroischemic nature with infection. Anemia was defined based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, and the severity of DFU was classified in University of Texas (UT) grades. Results: Anemia was detected in 94.3% of DFU, and the prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe anemia was 16.7%, 55.7%, and 27.6%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the mean hemoglobin (Hb) levels among the patients with varying grades of severity of DFU (1B: Hb=10.17±2.08 gm/dL, 2B: Hb=9.27±2.04 gm/dL, 3B: Hb=8.03±1.829 gm/dL; p value=<0.0001). The iron study was available in 141 (47.15%) patients and was suggestive of anemia of chronic disorder (mean serum iron=40.22±23.81 mcg/dL, mean total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)=239.34±67.24 mcg/dL, mean ferritin=378.05±141.337 ng/mL). TIBC significantly decreased (1B=262.13±61.05, 2B=233.65±71.26, 3B=222.43±74.18; p=0.04), and ferritin significantly increased (1B=309.9±70.76, 2B=351.73±94.22, 3B=488.58±170.4; p<0.0001) with increasing DFU severity. Hemoglobin was significantly decreased at the time of discharge in comparison to that at admission (9.3±2.1 gm/dL versus 8.8±1.5 gm/dL; p value=0.01). Red blood cell (RBC) counts, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), lymphocyte counts, albumin, calcium, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) significantly decreased with the increase of DFU severity. The duration of hospitalization, total leucocyte counts, neutrophil counts, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) increased with the severity of DFU. Conclusions: The prevalence of anemia was very high in DFU and more than three-fourths of the patients had moderate to severe anemia. The severity of anemia was associated with the severity of DFU. The most common cause of anemia was anemia of chronic disorder secondary to diabetic foot infection. During the period of hospitalization, hemoglobin decreased despite improvement in DFU infection.
Radial Pole Paths SVSC for Linear Time Invariant Multi Input Systems with Constrained Inputs

In this article a novel soft variable structure control method is proposed to reduce the settling time of liner time‐invariant multi‐input systems with constrained inputs. The method is a generalized pole placement technique which extends the desired pole locations to radial pole paths to reduce settling time while satisfying input constraints. The control signal obtained by this method is soft and is therefore suited to industrial applications. The paper provides a test for the stability of the control system based on the multivariable circle criterion and the Kalman‐Yakubovich‐Popov lemma. Simulation results where the method is applied to an aviation example, and comparison with pole placement, demonstrate how the method significantly increases the speed of response in spite of the input constraints.
Planarisation de graphes dans les réseaux ad-hoc

We propose a radically new family of geometric graphs, i.e., Hypocomb, Reduced Hypocomb and Local Hypocomb. The first two are extracted from a complete graph; the last is extracted from a Unit Disk Graph (UDG). We analytically study their properties including connectivity, planarity and degree bound. All these graphs are connected (provided the original graph is connected) planar. Hypocomb has unbounded degree while Reduced Hypocomb and Local Hypocomb have maximum degree 6 and 8, respectively. To our knowledge, Local Hypocomb is the first strictly-localized, degree-bounded planar graph computed using merely 1-hop neighbor position information. We present a construction algorithm for these graphs and analyze its time complexity. Hypocomb family graphs are promising for wireless ad hoc networking. We report our numerical results on their average degree and their impact on FACE routing. We discuss their potential applications and pinpoint some interesting open problems for future research.
Effects of electroconvulsive therapy on cerebral A1 adenosine receptor availability: a PET study in patients suffering from treatment-resistant major depressive disorder

Introduction Sleep deprivation and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) effectively ameliorate symptoms in major depressive disorder (MDD). In rodents, both are associated with an enhancement of cerebral adenosine levels, which in turn likely influence adenosinergic receptor expression. The aim of the current study was to investigate cerebral A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) availability in patients with MDD as a potential mediating factor of antidepressant effects of ECT using [18F]CPFPX and positron emission tomography (PET). Methods Regional A1AR availability was determined before and after a series of ECT applications (mean number ± SD 10.4 ± 1.2) in 14 subjects (4 males, mean age 49.5 ± 11.8 years). Clinical outcome, measured by neuropsychological testing, and ECT parameters were correlated with changes in A1AR availability. Results ECT had a strong antidepressive effect (p < 0.01) while on average cerebral A1AR availability remained unaltered between pre-and post-ECT conditions (F = 0.65, p = 0.42, mean difference ± SD 3.93% ± 22.7%). There was no correlation between changes in clinical outcome parameters and regional A1AR availability, although individual patients showed striking bidirectional alterations of up to 30–40% in A1AR availability after ECT. Solely, for the mean seizure quality index of the applied ECTs a significant association with changes in A1AR availability was found (rs = −0.6, p = 0.02). Discussion In the present study, therapeutically effective ECT treatment did not result in coherent changes of A1AR availability after a series of ECT treatments. These findings do not exclude a potential role for cerebral A1ARs in ECT, but shift attention to rather short-termed and adaptive mechanisms during ECT-related convulsive effects.
Posyandu Cadres On Capacity Building: Prevent Stunting By Improving Nutrition During The First 1000 Days Of Life

The Indonesian Ministry of Health initiated the “The First 1000 Days of Life Program” to decline the prevalence of stunting and other malnutrition problems. However, it turns out that the society and Posyandu cadres still do not understand about stunting, the first 1000 days of life, and early detection of stunting. This community service program was carried out in July-August 2018 using the community relations method. The program participants were posyandu cadres in Ngara-arap Village, Ngaringan District, Grobogan Regency, totaling 25 people (22 people participated in the program until the end). The program includes advocacy and self-development activities, education to posyandu cadres regarding stunting, education to posyandu cadres regarding the first 1000 days of life in stunting prevention, training on measuring body length and height for toddlers, and evaluation monitoring. The results of the program include: 1) 88% of the target is participating in the program to the end, 2) There is an increase in cadres' knowledge about stunting and nutrition during the first 1000 days of life after participating in the program as measured by the pre-post test questionnaire (there is an increase in the average pre-test and post-test scores). test of 0.7 points), 3) As many as 60% of the cadres were able to practice how to measure body length and height of toddlers measured by observation, and 4) 40% of posyandu cadres were willing to transfer knowledge to society through posyandu.
Analysis of Deviance for Hypothesis Testing in Generalized Partially Linear Models

In this study, we develop nonparametric analysis of deviance tools for generalized partially linear models based on local polynomial fitting. Assuming a canonical link, we propose expressions for both local and global analysis of deviance, which admit an additivity property that reduces to analysis of variance decompositions in the Gaussian case. Chi-square tests based on integrated likelihood functions are proposed to formally test whether the nonparametric term is significant. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the proposed chi-square tests and to compare them with an existing procedure based on penalized splines. The methodology is applied to German Bundesbank Federal Reserve data.
SPATIAL-SPECTRAL FUZZY K-MEANS CLUSTERING FOR REMOTE SENSING IMAGE SEGMENTATION

Spectral clustering is a clustering method based on algebraic graph theory. The clustering effect by using spectral method depends heavily on the description of similarity between instances of the datasets. Althought, spectral clustering has been significant interest in recent times, but the raw spectral clustering is often based on Euclidean distance, but it is impossible to accurately reflect the complexity of the data. Despite having a well-defined mathematical framework, good performance and simplicity, it suffers from several drawbacks, such as it is unable to determine a reasonable cluster number, sensitive to initial condition and not robust to outliers. In this paper, we present a new approach named spatial-spectral fuzzy clustering which combines spectral clustering and fuzzy clustering with spatial information into a unified framework to solve these problems, the paper consists of three main steps: Step 1, calculate the spatial information value of the pixels, step 2 applies the spectral clustering algorithm to change the data space from the color space to the new space and step 3 clusters the data in new data space by fuzzy clustering algorithm. Experimental results on the remote sensing image were evaluated based on a number of indicators, such as IQI, MSE, DI and CSI, show that it can improve the clustering accuracy and avoid falling into local optimum.

Machine learning enhanced cell tracking

Quantifying cell biology in space and time requires computational methods to detect cells, measure their properties, and assemble these into meaningful trajectories. In this aspect, machine learning (ML) is having a transformational effect on bioimage analysis, now enabling robust cell detection in multidimensional image data. However, the task of cell tracking, or constructing accurate multi-generational lineages from imaging data, remains an open challenge. Most cell tracking algorithms are largely based on our prior knowledge of cell behaviors, and as such, are difficult to generalize to new and unseen cell types or datasets. Here, we propose that ML provides the framework to learn aspects of cell behavior using cell tracking as the task to be learned. We suggest that advances in representation learning, cell tracking datasets, metrics, and methods for constructing and evaluating tracking solutions can all form part of an end-to-end ML-enhanced pipeline. These developments will lead the way to new computational methods that can be used to understand complex, time-evolving biological systems.
Asociación entre las variantes anatómicas del complejo osteomeatal y patología inflamatoria sinusal: estudio de casos y controles

Introducción: las variantes anatómicas nasosinusales pueden ser una causa frecuente de infecciones crónicas, y resulta importante identificarlas en la práctica diaria. Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre las variantes anatómicas del complejo osteomeatal (COM) y el desarrollo de patologías inflamatorias nasosinusales. Materiales y métodos: estudio de casos y controles, muestra de 226 pacientes identificando las variantes anatómicas del COM en la tomografía computada (TAC) de senos paranasales (SPN) y su correlación clínica. Resultados: el 51,9 % presentaron hallazgos imagenológicos indicativos de patología inflamatoria nasosinusal y el 19,8 % reportaron sintomatología sugestiva de sinusitis en la historia clínica. Los SPN más afectados fueron: maxilares (46,9 %) y etmoidales (23 %). Las variantes anatómicas más frecuentes fueron las celdillas de Agger Nasi (50,2 %) y la desviación septal (46,2 %). Se encontró como variable estadísticamente significativa la inserción lateral de la apófisis unciforme (p = 0,015) más frecuente del lado izquierdo (p = 0.018, odds ratio [OR] = 4,078, intervalo de confianza [IC] 95 % = 1,3-12,6). Discusión: Se confirmó la incidencia de las variantes anatómicas más frecuentes en la literatura, sin embargo, no se correlacionan con los hallazgos clínicos para la serie de pacientes estudiada en comparación con otros estudios. Existe una alta relación entre la inserción lateral de apófisis unciforme y hallazgos de rinosinusitis escasamente documentados en la literatura médica. Conclusión: se requieren más estudios sobre modelos predictivos en muestras poblacionales mayores y protocolos de lectura TAC enfocados sobre diferentes variantes anatómicas de la apófisis unciforme.
"One foot on the other side": Towards a Periodization of West African Spiritual Surrealism

Abstract:For both writers and scholars of African and diaspora literature, genre is a fraught concept. Western institutions, especially departments of English literature, have used the tool of genre to discipline Africana literatures and the people who create them, at once reducing conventional realism to a source of anthropological information and mischaracterizing realism with an indigenous or Nonwestern worldview as fantasy or "Magical Realism. " "West African spiritual surrealism," as defined in this essay, offers a generic rubric that both attends to the literalization of Igbo and Yoruba cosmology in fiction as well as the ways these cosmologies can give rise to literary devices that resist hegemonic, Anglo-American centric literary interpretation. Through close readings of Helen Oyeyemi's The Icarus Girl (2005) and Akwaeke Emezi's Freshwater (2018), this article historicizes West African spiritual surrealism as a geographically and ideologically diasporic genre that cannot be properly understood through frameworks of globalization alone. This genre and its writers require critics to read both deeply and widely in order to understand how West African spiritual surrealism places African cosmologies and people always already at the center of literary production.
Non-Markovian quantum Brownian motion in one dimension in electric fields

Quantum Brownian motion is the random motion of quantum particles suspended in a field (or an effective field) resulting from their collision with fast-moving modes in the field. It provides us with a fundamental model to understand various physical features concerning open systems in chemistry, condensed-matter physics, biophysics, and optomechanics. In this paper, without either the Born-Markovian or rotating-wave approximation, we derive a master equation for a charged-Brownian particle in one dimension coupled with a thermal reservoir in electric fields. The effect of the reservoir and the electric fields is manifested as time-dependent coefficients and coherent terms, respectively, in the master equation. The two-photon correlation between the Brownian particle and the reservoir can induce nontrivial squeezing dynamics to the particle. We derive a current equation including the source from the driving fields, transient current from the system flowing into the environment, and the two-photon current caused by the non-rotating-wave term. The presented results then are compared with that given by the rotating-wave approximation in the weak-coupling limit, and these results are extended to a more general quantum network involving an arbitrary number of coupled-Brownian particles. The presented formalism might open a way to better understand exactly the non-Markovian quantum network.

On Hydrinos Again

Randell Mills has proposed his notion of hydrino atom to explain anomalous energy production and EUV radiation in 10-20 nm range taking place in certain electrolytic system and having no chemical explanation. The proposal of Mills is that hydrogen atom can make in presence of a catalyst a transition to a lower energy state with a reduced size. I have already earlier considered some TGD inspired models for hydrino. The resemblance with the claimed cold fusion suggests that the energy production involved in the two cases might involve the same mechanism. I will consider two models. The first model would be a variant of cold fusion model that might explain the energy production and the observed radiation at EUV energy range. Second model is a variant of hydrino atom assuming that ordinary hydrogen atom corresponds to h eff / h = n H >1 and that catalyst containing hydrogen atoms with lower value of n h < n H could induce a phase transition transforming hydrogen atoms to hydrinos with binding energy spectrum scaled up by scaling factor ( n H / n h ) 2 and radii scaled down by( n h / n H ) 2 . The findings of Mills favour the value n H =6.

On boundaries of ping-pong modes in multipacting

Multipactor is an avalanche multiplication of the number of electrons in radio-frequency devices due to secondary electron emission. One of the possible modes of this kind of discharge was studied in detail and was named “a ping-pong mode” in a publication by R. A. Kishek [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 035003 (2012) and Phys. Plasmas 20, 056702 (2013)]. In the present paper, I show that conditions of stability and cutoff limits are quite different from those derived in the cited papers.Multipactor is an avalanche multiplication of the number of electrons in radio-frequency devices due to secondary electron emission.
