Development and Testing of an Electrically Propelled Capsule Endoscope in Man

Introduction: Electrostimulation can cause propulsion of ovoid objects in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. Aim: To develop and test in man a new type of endoscope with a propulsion system driven by electrostlmulation. Methods: Ovoid capsule endoscopes were modified. Four electrodes arranged in bipolar pairs were attached to the front and rear portions of the capsule. By careful attachment and subsequent polishing, it was possible to obtain unimpaired video images from tbe modified capsule endoscope without altering its geometry (11 X 27 mm). Several of these devices were constructed with wires to the front and back electrodes, which allowed an electrical stimulus to be applied to drive the capsule backwards or forwards from an external Grass stimulator which had been rendered electrically safe for use in man. Separate devices were constructed to include the circuitry necessary to drive similar devices without wires or external connectors, all these devices were tested in studies in the pig esophagus and small intestine prior to the use of identical devices in man. Ethical committee permission was given for testing these devices in a human volunteer. Results: Independent and wired devices were successfully tested in porcine experiments. It was shown that both wired and unwired devices could drive wireless capsule endoscopes backwards and forwards in the small intestine at equal rates. The same devices did not move when electrostimulation was not switched on in these anaesthetized animals. In an experiment in a human volunteer an electrostimulation capsule was swallowed. It reached the small intestine in 25 minutes. Electrostimulation was tested over a range of settings as the device travelled through the small intestine. The current used in these experiments was never enough to elicit conscious awareness or pain. At the settings used, the device was able to initiate contraction and accelerate the passage of the ovoid. The movements were analyzed using x-ray screening and capsule image analysis. At high settings, a possible vagal stimulation effect may have been detected. The device was easily introduced and worked well in stimulating propulsive and retropulsive movement. It was easy to remove under screening from the middle of the small intestine. It did not hurt. Conclusion: A new propulsion system for capsule-type endoscopy and enteroscopy was successfully tested for the first time in man
Association of Vitamin D and Homocysteine Level in Angiographically Proven Coronary Heart Disease Patients

Introduction: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries. Many well established risk factors have been associated with CHD however, Vitamin D deficiency has traditionally been linked with poor bone health. Results from several studies indicate that low levels of vitamin D may be linked to a higher risk of ischemic heart disease. Elevated levels of homocysteine emerge as independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Aims/Objective: To study the association of vessel wall blockade, in CHD subjects, with the level of circulating vitamin D and homocysteine levels and to establish the relationship between vitamin D and homocysteine with degree of vessel wall blockade. Materials and Methods: The samples (non fasting venous blood) were collected from the Department of Cardiology, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow. Samples were separated on the site within an hour of venipuncture and stored at -20 o C. Further the samples were estimated for vitamin D and homocysteine levels in the subjects. Result/ Conclusion: Homocysteine level was significantly (p=0.0001) higher among the cases compared with the controls. However, the vitamin D level was significantly lower among the cases than controls. Our study results conclude that the measurement of homocysteine and vitamin D levels might prove to be a useful marker in early detection of CHD.

Characterization and evolutionary analyses of Pestivirus A isolated from cattle in China CURRENT

Background Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a single stranded RNA virus with worldwide distribution that belongs to the genus family causes a range of clinical syndromes and can result in major economic losses. Here, we reported two BVDV isolates obtained from serum collected from cattle in Shandong province, China and commercial fetal bovine serum. Results The two BVDV isolates, named BVDV BJ-2013 and BVDV BJ-2016, were both the members of Pestivirus A, belonged to genotype 1a and 1b, respectively. BVDV BJ-2013 was an cytopathogenic biotype virus, meanwhile BVDV BJ-2016 was non-cytopathogenic biotype virus. The two isolates, both with 45.3% GC content, were 12,305 nt (BVDV BJ-2013) and12,273 nt (BVDV BJ-2016) in length. Phylogenetic analyses showed that BVDV BJ-2016 was genotype 1B of Pestvirus A and closely related to isolates from South Korea (JQ418634) and the US (JN380088). Simultaneously, BVDV BJ-2013 was genotype 1A of Pestivirus A and related to isolates from the USA (AF091605) and Germany (AF041040). Recombination analysis showed that BVDV isolate (KJ541471) was a mosaic of sequences derived from two isolates of the genotype 1A. Evolutionary analysis suggested that genotype 1A and 1B had similar relative rates and the dN/dS ratios. Comparison analysis of amino acid sequence indicated that there were 12 amino acids (EGNWLVNADRLM) insertion in NS2 of BVDV BJ-2013. Conclusion: In present study, two BVDV isolates were isolated and identified. Phylogenetic analyses and evolutionary analysis suggested that BVDV strains isolated from different regions showed close evolutionary relationships. It also reminded us again that the risk of trans-regional transmission of BVDV and BVDV contamination in commercial fetal bovine serum were what we must not neglect.
Hyperselective Neurectomy in the Treatment of the Spastic Upper Limb

Cerebral palsy is a general term that includes all the sequelae of infantile encephalopathies occurring during the perinatal period or during infancy, responsible for a permanent disorder of the development of movement and posture, resulting in a diminution of function. It manifests progressively during growth, but once established, follows a non-progressive course. Surgery is one element of the rehabilitative care, which includes primarily physiotherapy and splinting, occupational therapy, and pharmacological treatment as needed. Different surgical techniques are utilized to address the different components of the deformities, namely spasticity itself, muscle contracture, joint contractures, and paralysis. Partial neurectomy of motor nerves has been shown to reduce spasticity in the target muscles. It is effective only on the spastic component of the deformity, underlining the need for a preliminary thorough clinical examination. Hyperselective neurectomy, which consists in following each motor ramus until its entry point into the target muscle, aims at improving selectivity, widespread partial denervation, and durability of the results.

An analysis of the adaptation and implementation of the information dashboards in the Bulgarian universities has been made. The main aspects of the successful implementation of dashboards are extracted.
Advantage in T Lymphocytes IL-2 Induces a Competitive Survival

The acquisition of long-term survival potential by activated T lymphocytes is essential to ensure the successful development of a memory population in the competitive environment of the lymphoid system. The factors that grant competitiveness for survival to primed T cells are poorly deﬁned. We examined the role of IL-2 signals during priming of CD4 (cid:1) T cells in the induction of a long-lasting survival program. We show that Ag-induced cycling of CD4 (cid:1) IL-2 (cid:2) / (cid:2) T cells is independent of IL-2 in vitro. However, IL-2 (cid:2) / (cid:2) T cells failed to accumulate in large numbers and develop in effector cells when primed in the absence of IL-2. More importantly, Ag-activated IL-2 (cid:2) / (cid:2) T cells were unable to survive for prolonged periods of time after adoptive transfer in unmanipulated, syngeneic mice. IL-2 (cid:2) / (cid:2) T cells exposed to IL-2 signals during priming, however, acquired a robust and long-lasting survival advantage over cells that cycled in the absence of IL-2. Interestingly, this IL-2-induced survival program was required for long-term persistence of primed IL-2 (cid:2) / (cid:2) T cells in an intact lymphoid compartment, but was unnecessary in a lymphopenic environment. Therefore, IL-2 enhances competitiveness for survival in CD4 (cid:1) T cells, thereby facilitating the development of a memory population. The Journal of Immunology, 2004, 172: 5973–5979.
FOOD SECURITY AS A RESPONSE TO AIDS

HIV/AIDS has direct impacts on nutrition for the individual, the household, and the community. HIV infection, compounded by inadequate dietary intake, rapidly leads to malnutrition. Persons living with HIV have higher than normal nutritional requirements: up to 50 percent more protein and up to 15 percent more calories. Yet they are likely to suffer loss of appetite and anorexia, thus reducing dietary intake at the very time when nutritional requirements are greatest. Such interactions have grave consequences for the poor, who are more likely to be malnourished before they become infected. Malnutrition in turn shortens the asymptomatic period of HIV infection, hastens the onset of AIDS and ultimately death, and may also increase the risk of HIV transmission from mothers to babies.

Association of daily workload, wellness, injury and illness during tours in international cricketers

30 Purpose: To examine the relationship between player internal workloads, daily wellness 31 monitoring, injury and illness in a group of elite adolescent cricketers during overseas 32 competitions. Methods: Thirty-nine male international adolescent cricketers (17.5  0.8 yr) 33 took part in the study. Data was collected over five tours across a three-year period (2014-34 2016). Measures of wellness were recorded, and daily training loads calculated using 35 session-rating of perceived exertion. The injury and illness status of each member of the 36 squad was recorded daily. Acute and chronic workloads were calculated using three days 37 and fourteen days moving averages . Acute workloads, chronic workloads, and acute chronic 38 workload ratios (ACWR) were independently modelled as fixed effects predictor variables. 39 Results: In the subsequent week, a high 3-day workload was significantly associated with an 40 increased risk of injury (Relative Risk [RR] = 2.51; CI = 1.70 to 3.70). Similarly, a high 14-day 41 workload was also associated with an increased risk of injury (RR = 1.48; CI = 1.01 to 2.70). 42 Individual differences in the load injury relationship were also found. No clear relationship 43 between the ACWR and injury risk was found, but high chronic workloads combined with a 44 high or low ACWR showed an increase probability of injury compared to moderate chronic 45 workloads. There were also trends for sleep quality and cold symptoms worsening the week 46 before an injury occurred. Conclusion : Although there is significant individual variation, 47 short term high workloads and changing in wellness status appear to be associated with 48 injury risk. 49 50
ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Soft Compliant Gripper for UAV Perching

Current battery technology only enables a flight time of less than an hour for UAV applications. Several applications in surveillance and surveying benefit from ability of UAVs to perch at strategic locations. Existing mechanism designs on perching UAVs either require specialized manufacturing techniques or are disproportionately heavy and hence decrease the flight time. Current work utilizes advances in soft materials to achieve a compliant mechanism capable of perching on a variety of surfaces. The work begins with

Wireless Advanced Helmet and Accidental Free Transportation System

: Accidents are the major problem occurred in this busy life, that too two-wheeler. Due to this busy life, people used to ride their vehicles at high speed and some of them don’t have the patience to wait for signals also. So Government made a rule of wearing a helmet while riding the two-wheeler vehicles and also bring some rules into action. But still, the problem is not yet solved because of carelessness. Again the problem arises that, people ride their bike by taking alcohol and they don’ wear helmet and crossing signals etc. so to overcome this problem, we came up with this idea and hope this will be helpful for our security and safety of our life. In this project, the helmet is proposed which consists of several applications like it detects the drink and drive cases, it will detect the accidental places and sends messages to the respective persons. It also detects the signals and humpings present on road before they reach the place. So in this project, GPS and GSM technology is used to detect and send messsage. Arm microcontroller is used to control the overall system.
Malaria Liver Stage Parasites Strategies for Immune Evasion and Host Modulation: Implication for Vaccine Design

Malaria is a devastating infectious disease caused by protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium . When an infected mosquito bites a vertebrate host it leaves a small number of sporozoites under the skin. Sporozoites from the site of bite, end up in lymph node or liver. In the lymph node these parasite are degraded and act as source of antigen for the immune system. In liver, the sporozoites invade into a hepatocyte and develop into mature schizonts. Liver stage parasites are able to evade host immune responses as well as modulate the various host pathways. Study of Plasmodium liver stage exportome may provide valuable vaccine candidates and those with strong T cell epitope may be inducted into pre erythrocytic stage vaccine pipeline. Hepatocytes process and present foreign antigens on its surface hence some of the Plasmodium exported proteins are also likely presented on its surface similar to circumsporozoite protein. In terms of designing vaccine delivery system and the antigen load in liver, recent advances suggest that one need to deliver antigen in <20% of hepatocytes. Presence of antigen in large population of hepatocytes (>25%) leads to silencing of CTLs, which are no longer effective in killing the pathogens. on the with host immune response and host modulation. to how this could be utilized for vaccine design for the
Educational Data Mining by Using Neural Network

: At the present time, the amount of data in educational database is increasing day by day. These data enclose the concealed information that can lift the student’s performance. Among all classification algorithms, decision tree is most algorithm. Decision tree provides the more correct and relevant results which can be beneficial in improvement of learning outcomes of a student. The ID3, C4.5 and CART decision tree algorithms are already implemented on the data of students to anticipate their accomplishment. All three classification algorithm have a limitation that they all are used only for small So, for large database we are using a new algorithm i.e. SPRINT which removes all the memory restriction and accuracy arrives in other algorithms. It is fast and scalable than others because it can be implemented in both serial and parallel fashion good data replacement and load balancing. In this paper, we are representing a new SPRINT decision tree algorithm which will used to solve the problems of classification in educational data system.
Qtc Interval Dispersion in Patients with Acute Stroke

Background: QT, QTc interval and QTc dispersion express the inhomogeneity of left ventricular repolarization time. Its extension results in an increase of vulnerable period and susceptibility to malignant arrhythmias in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and hence sudden death. Objective: To evaluate the QTc dispersion in patients with acute stroke. Materials and Methods: 30 patients admitted to the emergency service of the University Hospital Dr. Manuel Nunez Tovar diagnosed with acute stroke were selected. All patients underwent 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) baseline to quantify the QT, QTc interval and QTc dispersion and computed tomography with cross sections to assess the extent, compromised cerebral territory and etiology. Cardiovascular risk factors were considered and followed during the period of hospitalization. Patients with atrial fibrillation were excluded. Results: Cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension 25(83.3%) Smoking 12(40%), prior stroke 7(23.3%), diabetes 6(20%), coronary artery disease 4(13.3%) and arrhythmias 1(3.3%). The highest percentage of patients studied had two risk factors and of these 71.4% had hemorrhagic stroke. Of the 30 patients, 17(56.6%) had left-brain affection, 6(20%) posterior fossa affection, 4(13.3%) right-brain hemisphere affection and 3(10%) subarachnoid hemorrhage. The QT interval was 328.07 ± 58.24 ms in patients with ischemic stroke vs. 379.77 ± 55.20 ms in patients with hemorrhagic, p = 0.0122. The QTc was 389.68 ± 70.68 ms in ischemic stroke vs. 430.36 ± 62.23 ms in hemorrhagic, p = 0.001. The QTc dispersion 63.43 ± 35.80 ms in hemorrhagic stroke and 44.52 ± 25.13 ms in ischemic stroke, p = 0.04. The QTc dispersion was significantly higher in patients with hemorrhagic stroke in relation to patients with ischemic stroke. 10%(3) patients died: two with hemorrhagic stroke and one with ischemic. Conclusions: QT, QTc interval and QTc dispersion are increased in the early hours in patients with stroke and without coronary artery disease. By comparison, according to their etiology, we observed that these were higher in bleeding events. These findings could be related to the magnitude, extent and stroke location and may constitute a predictor element of sudden death in these patients.
