Nutrient Therapy on Cataract and Other Health Issues

Four case studies on people with health disorders treated with different supplements at Miljo Naringsbalans Vatten (MNV), Environment Nutrient Balance Water, are mirrored in this article. One female with diabetes was successfully treated with especially Mg, Mn, vitamin C and vitamin B complex. By that treatment also her diagnosed cataract later was unintentionally healed. Attempts to balance the body in accordance with recommendations after hair nutrient analysis, as well as to eat asparagus, maintaining body pH at neutral level, and taking especially additional anti-oxidants and enzymes, most probably helped her to recover quickly from her cancer after surgery and radiation, which was performed in hospital. The importance of maintaining pH 7 in body, as measured in the urine, was found essential in healing processes. Powder of green vegetables and herbs, as well as dolomitic limestone were effective in increasing pH from acid to neutral 7. Diarrhoea caused by elevated Fe (>1 mg/L) in the drinking water had troubled case study 3 for more than a year. Powder containing different nutrients aimed for stomach, intestines and detox, and probiotics, aloe vera and Lactobacilli and Bifido bacteria were successfully used to eliminate his severe diarrhoea. Powder containing a number of nutrients intended to decrease inflammation, significantly decreased sensitivity to sunlight and Electro-Magnetic Fields. Vitamin B complex, Se and vitamin E, and retaining pH at 7 were also important. Iris diagnosed that showed disturbed kidneys was needed to find the underlying cause of mucus in the throat of a young male. By supporting the kidneys symptoms disappeared. The need of long-term treatment was obvious, and many different organs needed treatment when non-specific multiple organ symptoms were reported.

Comparison of Fuzzy-AHP and AHP Approach for Supplier Evaluation and Selection in a Cement Manufacturing Company

In the rapidly progressive era of the 4 Industrial Revolution, competition is reaching unspeakable heights with an increasing thirst for excellence. Every method or technology not enhanced every now and then gradually falls behind and is eventually replaced by a more polished counterpart. Machines are not the only key candidates in this fierce strive towards supremacy, but strategies directed towards advancement in business also play an integral part. Two fundamental facets underlying the success of any business in this high voltage scenario are buy and sell. Procurement for instance, not only governs the initial steps of a business activity, but is also pivotal for every subsequent step leading up to qualified final products reaching consumers at the appropriate time, which are indispensable factors contributing to the satisfaction of customers. Therefore, selection of befitting suppliers is the most challenging yet imperative task. Suppliers are nominated based on various criteria with individual weightages attached to each. This paper comprises a comparative study between two decision making techniques, AHP and fuzzy AHP, on selection of the most suitable supplier for a renowned organization. The essential criterions along with their significance, considered for calculation, have been advised by professionals working at the company. Ador, Rahman & Ahmed 38
Design and Control of an Electrically Powered Knee Prosthesis by Taking Feedback from a Fully Functional Leg

In this work, a prototype of a trans-femoral prosthesis with an electrically powered knee joint have designed and implemented. As automated (without feedback) prosthetic legs independently control different joints and time periods of the gait cycle (resulting in control parameters and switching rules that can be difficult to tune), the paper has included the provision for real-time control by taking feedback from a fully functional leg by utilizing a flex sensor and a rotating encoder. A dynamic model of the below-knee prosthesis of a complete gait cycle is developed through computer-aided 3D design prior to implementation. The model is based on a two-dimensional multi-body mechanical system and includes a DC motor with worm gear and Arduino based control system for the knee. Thus, the model will provide an enhanced human-prosthesis interaction and motion capabilities for the impaired.
O Uso de Inferência Variacional para Reconhecimento de Emoções em Música

This work was developed aiming to employ Statistical techniques to the field of Music Emotion Recognition, a well-recognized area within the Signal Processing world, but hardly explored from the statistical point of view. Here, we opened several possibilities within the field, applying modern Bayesian Statistics techniques and developing efficient algorithms, focusing on the applicability of the results obtained. Although the motivation for this project was the development of a emotion-based music recommendation system, its main contribution is a highly adaptable multivariate model that can be useful interpreting any database where there is an interest in applying regularization in an efficient manner. Broadly speaking, we will explore what role a sound theoretical statistical analysis can play in the modeling of an algorithm that is able to understand a well-known database and what can be gained with this kind of approach.
DEVELOPMENT OF A TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING CADMIUM, LEAD, ARSENIC WITH THE ETAAS METHOD IN MEDICINAL PLANT RAW MATERIALS

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) is one of the most well-known methods for determining trace amounts of elements in natural objects, since it is simple in instrumentation and rather cheap. It is especially promising for the pharmaceutical analysis of medicinal plant raw materials for quality control purposes. A new unified ETAAS technique for the determination of cadmium, lead and arsenic in solutions obtained after acid decomposition (with HNO3) of plant raw material under microwave heating conditions has been developed. It was shown that cadmium can be determined without a modifier, while for lead and arsenic the presence of a modifier is necessary. Inexpensive and widely available substances were proposed as modifiers: 1% solution of ascorbic acid (for lead), 1% solution of Ni(NO3)2 (for arsenic), which were previously used in the Russian Federation exclusively in geochemical studies. The conditions for the preparation of the analysed samples are proposed. The using prospects of the developed technique for the natural substances quality control, as well as its universality for the analysis of plant raw material of various morphological groups have been demonstrated. The technique was validated in terms of specificity, accuracy, precision, repeatability, linearity, range, robustness. The technique can be recommended for determination of these ecotoxicants accumulation in wild-growing and cultivated medicinal plants.
Probabilistic Analysis of Code-Reuse Attacks and Defenses in IoT

In the Internet of Things (IoT), resource-limited smart devices communicate with each other while performing sensing and computation tasks. Thus, these devices can be exposed to various attacks being launched and spread through network. For instance, attacker can reuse the codes of IoT devices for malicious activity executions. In the sense that attacker can craft malicious codes by skillfully reusing codes stored in IoT devices, code-reuse attacks are generally considered to be dangerous. Although a variety of schemes have been proposed to defend against code-reuse attacks, code randomization is regarded as a representative defense technique against code-reuse attacks. Indeed, many research have been done on code randomization technique, however, there are little work on analysis of the interactions between code randomization defenses and code-reuse attacks although it is imperative problem to be explored. To provide the better understanding of these interactions in IoT, we analyze how code randomization defends against code-reuse attacks in IoT and perform simulation on it. Both analysis and simulation results show that the more frequently code randomizations occur, the less frequently code-reuse attacks succeed.
Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease with Nutritional Supplements

Cardiovascular medicine needs a complete functional and metabolic medicine reevaluation related to diagnosis, prevention and integrative treatments. We have reached a limit in our ability to reduce CVD and CHD [1]. The cardiovascular system is literarily “on fire” Our present treatments are not always effective in reducing this vascular inflammation. CVD, CHD and CHF remain the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States [2]. Statistics show that we spend approximately $80 billion a year treating CVD alone [2] and over 2200 US citizens die from stroke or MI each day [2-5]. CHD includes angina, MI, ischemic heart disease, ischemic cardiomyopathy with both systolic (low ejection fraction) and diastolic congestive heart failure (normal ejection fraction with stiff and noncompliant left ventricle. The most common cause of CHF in the US is ischemic heart disease.
Effect of FOCUS-PDCA procedure on improving self-care ability of patients undergoing colostomy for rectal câncer.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of the FOCUS-PDCA procedure on the self-care ability of patients undergoing colostomy for rectal cancer. METHOD A nonrandomized controlled trial of 160 patients with rectal cancer undergoing colostomy. The control group received routine nursing intervention, and the observation group received the FOCUS-PDCA procedure. The self-care ability of the two groups was investigated 1 week and 1 month after surgery, and a comparative analysis was made between the groups. RESULTS One week after surgery, the self-care ability of rectal cancer patients with colostomy increased from 39.09 points before implementation of the FOCUS-PDCA procedure to 60.15 points after implementation; an increase of 21.06%. One month after surgery, the self-care ability increased from 61.50 points to 83.13 points after implementation of the FOCUS-PDCA procedure; an increase of 21.63%. CONCLUSION Application of the FOCUS-PDCA procedure improved the self-care ability of rectal cancer patients undergoing colostomy, improved their physical and mental health, reduced colostomy complications, and improved their quality of life. The results suggest that it is worth applying FOCUS-PDCA more widely.

Relationship Between Immune Response and Some Reproductive Hormones in Chickens

Aiming to study the relation between immune response to sheep red blood cells antigen (SRBC) and reproductive female hormones (FSH and LH), and their relation with some productive performance in Norfa chickens. The present research was carried out at the Department of Poultry and Fish Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Shebin El-Kom, Menoufia University, Egypt. The experiment was extended from March, 2018 to July, 2019. Experimental birds injected with SRBC antigen at 20 weeks of age, and antibody titer measured 7 days post immunization. Birds were divided according to their immune response to three groups; control, high and low immunity groups. Productive traits were individually recorded and collected data were statistically analyzed. Results showed that, serum FSH and LH levels not differed significantly between experimental groups, and recorded a range of 1.09-1.14 mIU/ml and 0.644-0.737 mIU/ml, respectively. Both FSH and LH positively and significantly correlated to immune response in different groups, except the correlation between antibody titer and LH in low immunity group was negative (-0.233) but not significant. The high immunity group of chickens had significantly higher percentages of fertility, hatchability, livability, early age at sexual maturity, and higher egg production traits either at 90 day of laying or at 42-wk of age, as compared to control and low immunity groups of chickens. According to recent study, enhancement of reproductive performance may be achieved by investment in immune response. Key Word: Immune response, chickens, reproductive hormones, FSH, LH. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 16-02-2021 Date of Acceptance: 02-03-2021 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultra-long VO2(B) Nanobelts : One-step Hydrothermal Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties

Ultra-long VO2(B) nanobelts were fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal treatment. It was found that the nanobelts were about ~200 nm in width and dozens of microns in length. Being used as a cathode material, the VO2(B) nanobelts show superior rate capability, with discharge capacities of ca. 425, 175, 125, 90, 75 and 50 mAh/g at 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 mA/g, respectively. More importantly, excellent cycling stability without consid- erable capacity loss (10.41%) for 500 cycles is observed. The present study implied that the unique ultra-long nano- belts morphology and its intrinsic structural features are responsible for their excellent structure stability, and thus re- sulting in superior electrochemical performance.

Objective This study aims to explore the short-term results of hepatectomy with Takasaki’s technique using Sonastar ultrasonic aspiration system. Materials and Methods We retrospectively examined data of 58 patients who underwent hepatectomy with Takasaki’s technique using Sonastar ultrasonic aspiration system at Hue Central Hospital from 01/2018 to 02/2021. Results The mean age was 60.7 ± 10.5 years (25–80) and the male/female ratio was 6:1. Patients with solitary tumor accounted for 79%; 68.4% had tumor size greater than 5 cm. Pringle maneuver was used in 57.9%, while selective right or left Glissonean pedicle occlusion was used in 69.0% and 32.8%, respectively. Final transection surface reinforcement was achieved by Surgicel and BioGlue in 78.9% and 21.5% of cases, respectively. Major liver resection accounted for 73.7%. The mean parenchymal transection time was 50 (45–110) minutes, while mean total operative time was 125 (90–280) minutes. Mean operative blood loss was 250 (150–650) mL. Mean post-operative hospital stay was 8 days (7–23). Post-operative complication rate was 15.9% and mortality rate was 1.7%. Conclusion Hepatectomy using Takasaki technique with Sonastar ultrasonic aspiration system is safe, effective, allowing an anatomical resection with sufficient safety margin and resulting in low complication rates (liver failure, biliary leakage) and good survival outcomes.
Long-term effect on adenoid dimensions and craniocervical angulation after maxillary expansion with fixed or functional appliances

Background Maxillary expansion is a common orthodontic procedure that could have a positive effect also on airway patency. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nasopharyngeal area and cranio-cervical angulation in growing patients, compared to controls treated with a function-generating bite appliance (FGB). Material and Methods Sixty patients aged 6-14 consecutively treated with RME or FGB were selected retrospectively and divided into two groups. Lateral cephalograms taken before and after treatment were retrieved, and the nasopharyngeal area, delimited superiorly by a sella-posterior nasal spine (PNS) line and inferiorly by a basion-PNS line, and the cranio-cervical angulation were measured. Results The mean observation time was 17.6 ± 8 months. No differences were present between the two groups regarding age and gender. The nasopharyngeal area increased significantly in both groups after treatment, but with no statistically significant difference between them. The cranio-cervical angulation showed no differences within or between groups. Conclusions Maxillary deficiency treatment with either RME or FGB was followed by a comparable increase in nasopharyngeal area. Key words:Rapid maxillary expansion, Airway, Nasopharyngeal area, Adenoid.
Validating the use of stereo‐video cameras to conduct remote measurements of sea turtles

Abstract Point 1: Stereo‐video camera systems (SVCSs) are a promising tool to remotely measure body size of wild animals without the need for animal handling. Here, we assessed the accuracy of SVCSs for measuring straight carapace length (SCL) of sea turtles. Point 2: To achieve this, we hand captured and measured 63 juvenile, subadult, and adult sea turtles across three species: greens, Chelonia mydas (n = 52); loggerheads, Caretta caretta (n = 8); and Kemp's ridley, Lepidochelys kempii (n = 3) in the waters off Eleuthera, The Bahamas and Crystal River, Florida, USA, between May and November 2019. Upon release, we filmed these individuals with the SVCS. We performed photogrammetric analysis to extract stereo SCL measurements (eSCL), which were then compared to the (manual) capture measurements (mSCL). Point 3: mSCL ranged from 25.9 to 89.2 cm, while eSCL ranged from 24.7 to 91.4 cm. Mean percent bias of eSCL ranged from −0.61% (±0.11 SE) to −4.46% (±0.31 SE) across all species and locations. We statistically analyzed potential drivers of measurement error, including distance of the turtle to the SVCS, turtle angle, image quality, turtle size, capture location, and species. Point 4: Using a linear mixed effects model, we found that the distance between the turtle and the SVCS was the primary factor influencing measurement error. Our research suggests that stereo‐video technology enables high‐quality measurements of sea turtle body size collected in situ without the need for hand‐capturing individuals. This study contributes to the growing knowledge base that SVCS are accurate for body size measurements independent of taxonomic clade.
Using a Web-Based Platform as an Alternative for Conducting International, Multidisciplinary Medical Conferences During the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic: Analysis of a Conference

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has stunted medical education activities, resulting in most conferences being cancelled or postponed. To continue professional education during this crisis, web-based conferences can be conducted via livestream and an audience interaction platform as an alternative. Objective The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has affected human connections worldwide. Conventional conferences have been replaced by web-based conferences. However, web-based conferencing has its challenges and limitations. This paper reports the logistics and preparations required for converting an international, on-site, multidisciplinary conference into a completely web-based conference within 3 weeks during the pandemic. Methods The program was revised, and a teleconference system, live recording system, director system setup, and broadcasting platform were arranged to conduct the web-based conference. Results We used YouTube (Alphabet Inc) and WeChat (Tencent Holdings Limited) for the web-based conference. Of the 24 hours of the conventional conference, 21.5 hours (90%) were retained in the web-based conference via live broadcasting. The conference was attended by 71% (37/52) of the original international faculties and 71% (27/38) of the overall faculties. In total, 61 out of 66 presentations (92%) were delivered. A special session—“Dialysis access management under the impact of viral epidemics”—was added to replace precongress workshops and competitions. The conference received 1810, 1452, and 1008 visits on YouTube and 6777, 4623, and 3100 visits on WeChat on conference days 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Conclusions Switching from a conventional on-site conference to a completely web-based format within a short period is a feasible method for maintaining professional education in a socially responsible manner during a pandemic.
