Numerical simulation of blood flow in Cerebral aneurysms using two-phase model
Authors: Sheikh Md Al Amin
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT: Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation techniques have played an essential role in simulating and understanding the initiation, growth, and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. Hemodynamic parameters are mainly used to examine the rupture risk status of cerebral aneurysms using blood flow CFD simulation. Blood was considered as single-phase flow model with both Newtonian and non-Newtonian to predict the rupture risk analysis. However, to better understand predicting the risk of cerebral aneurysm rupture, blood requires two-phase, such as plasma and red blood cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes. In this study, the two-phase blood flow model was solved by the discrete phase model (DPM) with Lagrangian approach, in which blood was modeled two-phase fluid as a continuous phase plasma and particulate phase RBCs. Three patient-specific aneurysm geometries have been selected to determine wall shear stress (WSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and relative residence time (RRT) with two-phase blood flow simulation. To analyze the velocity distribution inside the aneurysms, velocity streamlines and surface velocities were reported. The pulsatile blood flow simulation was performed for aneurysm geometries, where the mean inlet Reynolds number was calculated between 490 and 1370. The value of WSS, OSI, and RRT was quantified based on the Reynolds number. Reynolds number's minimum value indicates the low WSS, low OSI, and short RRT, and the maximum value of Reynolds number shows the high WSS, high OSI, and long RRT. The high WSS, high OSI, and long RRT, velocity streamlines distribution, surface velocity changes were determined with two-phase blood in aneurysm geometries, aneurysm geometry one and three are the medium and giant size saccular aneurysm may have a higher risk of rupture while aneurysm geometry two is medium size fusiform aneurysm has a lower risk of rupture. The two-phase blood flow model presents reasonable hemodynamic parameters that correlate with aneurysms rupture risk prediction.

Authors: Basargan Hakan , Mihály András , Kisari Ádám , Gáspár Péter , Sename Olivier
Published: August 2021

Adaptive suspension control considering passenger comfort and stability of the vehicle has been researched intensively, thus several automotive companies already apply these technologies in their high-end models. Most of these systems react to the instantaneous effects of road irregularities, however, some expensive camera-based systems adapting the suspension in coherence with upcoming road conditions have already been introduced. Thereby, using oncoming road information the performance of adaptive suspension systems can be enhanced significantly. The emerging technology of cloud computing enables several promising features for road vehicles, one of which may be the implementation of an adaptive semi-active suspension system using historic road information gathered in the cloud database. The main novelty of the paper is the developed semi-active suspension control method in which Vehicle-to-Cloud-to-Vehicle technology serves as the basis for the road adaptation capabilities of the suspension system. The semi-active suspension control is founded on the Linear Parameter-Varying framework. The operation of the presented system is validated by a real data simulation in TruckSim simulation environment.

Authors: Shkoda Tetiana
Published: August 2021

The purpose of the paper is to analyse the place of the methodology in the modern theory of human capital and its relationship with the methodology of strategic management of human capital. Based on the evolutionary development of conceptual ideas and provisions of the human capital theory, the categorical matrix of the modern theory of human capital is substantiated, where the intersection of such vectors as the level of scientific analysis and the angle of analytical consideration of the object of the human capital theory determine the logic of category location. The proposed structural understanding of the methodology allowed the author to build the hierarchical construction of the strategic management of human capital science, which defines the methodology of strategic management of human capital as a specifically scientific methodology. The developed structural and logical scheme in the methodology of the formation of human capital strategic management has five levels: identification, ideology, methodology, method, and optimisation. It includes the categorical matrix of the modern theory of human capital at the identification level. Further research of the topic is proposed to perform at the level of the method and at the level of optimisation, as they are connected with practical tools of strategic management of human capital.

Authors: Roaro Eleonora
Published: August 2021

This paper focuses on the project VR and AR in the valorisation of cultural and artistic heritage within the New Cinema History framework, aims to combine microhistory related to local cinema theatres and Cinema Heritage, and to investigate the possibilities that digital media – in this case Augmented and Virtual Reality – have in the valorisation and preservation of cultural heritage. The final output of the project is the Virtual Reality reconstruction of the Odeon cinema’s architecture and habits of cinemagoing that, thanks to an immersive experience via the Oculus Rift headset, could evoke and simulate historical spectatorship that dealt both with the moment of watching a movie and its peripheral practice. the development of the project, at least four different perspectives on the Odeon cinema converged to form the basis of the VR reconstruction: the literature on the topic, the consultation of public and private archives, the oral sources, and photographs taken on site. This paper focuses mostly on the documents and sources used in the VR project and it aims to investigate how various and heterogeneous documents can be woven together into a philologically reliable historical reconstruction, and how they can be used in 3D modelling and VR storytelling related to Cinema Heritage.
A digital archive is born
Authors: McDowell Julia , Nissen Annie
Published: August 2021

This paper explores the opportunities offered and the challenges involved in digitising, presenting and preserving data and materials on cinemagoing during the interwar years collected in the course of Cinema Culture in 1930s Britain, a pioneering inquiry led by Professor Annette Kuhn. The Cinema Memory and the Digital Archive (CMDA) project team is tasked with archiving and digitising the extensive materials that were originally collected in the 1990s: which include over a hundred audio-recorded interviews with 1930s cinemagoers and a wealth of related correspondence, documents and contemporary publications, along with postcards, diaries, scrapbooks and other memorabilia donated by participants. The primary focus of CMDA is to make these existing materials available online, applying the most appropriate formats and standards to make them accessible and engaging to a global audience of both scholars and the general public. In so doing, the project has placed an emphasis on developing logical and transparent systems for indexing and accessioning, collaborating to create a bank of shareable digital assets to help ensure interoperability between the project's own website and remote systems such as Lancaster University Library and Cambridge Digital Library. Drawing on our experiences as a close-knit research team, we describe the development of the project from two distinct perspectives, that of web developer and that of archivist. Identifying key issues, we highlight initial impressions and detail ongoing experiences and knowledge gained in the fields of cinemagoing history and memory studies, examining decisions taken in the early stages of the project that have enabled progression towards its goals. The challenges inherent in bringing such a valuable and unique set of resources ‘back to life’ and into the realm of digital humanities are immense; and we conclude by reflecting on lessons learned and offering fresh perspectives and insights to researchers undertaking similar work.

Authors: Islam MT , Sultana R , Rahim MA , Hasan MM , Flowra FA , Bashar MA , Mahmud Y
Published: August 2021

The aim of the study was to evaluate quality of ready-to-cook (RTC) hilsa curry under not sealed pack as control, vacuum as T1, MAP-1 (50% CO2 & 50% N2) as T2, and MAP-2 (40% CO2 , 30 N2 & 30% O2) pack as T3 during storage at 4±1°C. For this purpose, pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and aerobic plate count (APC) of three samples from each treatment were analyzed at four days interval during 28 days of storage. The pH and TVB-N values of RTC hilsa curry were within the standard limit in all samples during the storage period. However, significantly (p <0.05) lower values were observed on and after the 12th day for pH and 16th day for TVBN in all samples compared to the control. TBARS gradually increased from the 4th day for all samples except vacuum packaged sample. However, significantly (p <0.05) lower TBARS were observed in the vacuum and MAP-1 samples on and after the 8th day of storage compared to the control and MAP-2 samples. APCs gradually increased from the initial value of 5.25 log CFU/g with time in all samples. However, significantly (p <0.05) lower APCs were observed on and after the 16th day of storage in all samples compared to the control sample. The APCs exceeded the 7 log CFU/g, which is considered as the upper acceptable limit on approximately 16th day for the control, 24th day for vacuum, 22nd day for MAP-1, and 20th day for MAP-2 sample. Therefore, the vacuum packaging demonstrated the better results, which the superstores can utilize conveniently to display RTC hilsa curry with prolonged shelf life.

Authors: Hoque MN , Mondal MF , Sagor GHM , Hasan MM , Hannan A
Published: August 2021

Agarwood is the resinous heartwood obtained from the injured parts of trees under Thymelaeaceae family particularly from Aquilaria species. Agarwood is considered as the most prized non-timber forest product (NTFP) used in attars as well as medicines. Quality of agarwood is the determiner for defining its commercial value. Different countries use different grading system to explain the quality of agarwood. In Bangladesh, more than 45 compounds have been identified so far, mostly sesquiterpenoids, alkanes, fatty acid and other volatile aromatic compounds that are responsible for its fragrance and high prices. Ether extract, total phenolic contents, flavonoid, antioxidant and microbiological tests have shown tremendous positive results. Chemical profiling of agar products is the best identified using GC-MS technique by the various authors. Present review discusses the full scenario of Aquilaria production, inoculation, extraction methods, determination of agarwood quality and chemical constituents of agar oils and possibilities and barriers of this industry in Bangladesh.

Published: August 2021

Since December 2019, a new type of coronavirus called novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, or COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a global pandemic. With more than 101,797,158 confirmed cases, resulting in 3,451,354 deaths as of May 21, 2021, the world faces an unprecedented economic, social, and health impact. The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 has a wide range of manifestations, ranging from an asymptomatic state or mild respiratory symptoms to severe viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Several diagnostic methods are currently available for detecting the coronavirus in clinical, research, and public health laboratories. Some tests detect the infection directly by detecting the viral RNA using real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and other tests detect the infection indirectly by detecting the host antibodies. Additional techniques are using medical imaging diagnostic tools such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT). Various approaches have been employed in the development of COVID-19 therapies. Some of these approaches use drug repurposing (e.g. Remdesivir and Dexamethasone) and combinational therapy (e.g. Lopinavir/Ritonavir), whilst others aim to develop anti-viral vaccines (e.g. mRNA and antibody). Additionally, health experts integrate data sharing, provide with guidelines and advice to minimize the effects of the pandemic. These guidelines include wearing masks, avoiding direct contact with infectious people, respiratory and personal hygiene. Taken together, an extensive knowledge on transmission mechanisms, clinical spectrums, specific diagnostics methods, host-virus interactions are required to tackle this pandemic.

Published: August 2021

Purpose: We investigated the effect of the time of secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation on final visual acuity and other causes affecting visual prognosis in cases left aphakic after open globe injury.Methods: The study included 62 eyes of 62 patients left aphakic after the repair of open globe injury between 2012 and 2019. Demographic characteristics, trauma zone, ocular trauma score, type of injury, time of secondary IOL implantation, final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and complications were recorded for each patient.Results: The mean follow-up time of 62 patients was 25.05 ± 12.59 months. The preoperative BCVA was found to be 2.40 ± 0.86 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), while the postoperative final BCVA was found to be 0.53 ± 0.70 logMAR (p < 0.01). The mean interval timing of secondary sulcus foldable IOL implantation was determined to be 3.79 ± 4.04 months. No correlation was observed between secondary IOL implantation time and final BCVA (r = 0.140, p = 0.319). Furthermore, when only pediatric patients were taken, an excellent positive correlation was found between the secondary IOL implantation time and final BCVA logMAR (r = 0.895, p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression on final BCVA with age, revealed a significant model explaining 48.0% of the variability with younger age and better final BCVA with as significant coefficients (p = 0.007).Conclusions: Although time interval between primary repair and secondary IOL implantation to correct aphakia does not effect final BCVA in adult patients, earlier surgery should be considered for amblyopia management in pediatric patients.
Predictors for margin of resection >4 mm in the management of periocular basal cell carcinoma
Authors: Almousa Radwan
Published: August 2021

Purpose: To determine the margin of resection (MOR) for periocular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and compare the outcomes of BCC treatment, namely Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and wide excision with later reconstruction (WELR). Methods: This is a retrospective, comparative, interventional study of patients who underwent surgical treatment of periocular BCC. One hundred forty-two patients were included. One hundred patients were treated with MMS and 42 with WELR. Inclusion criteria were primary periocular BCC with postoperative follow-up of ≥6 months, age more than 18-year-old. Exclusion criteria were, orbital extension, BCC origin outside the periocular area, or those associated with Gorling or nevoid BCC. The main outcome measure was variables associates with MOR >4 mm.Results: There was a positive correlation between the preoperative tumor horizontal and vertical diameter with the corresponding MOR, of 0.27 (p = 0.01) and 0.28 (p = 0.007), respectively. Receiver operating characteristics suggest that a tumor with a horizontal diameter ≥5 mm or a vertical diameter of ≥6 mm, might need MOR >4 mm. One patient in the MMS group had BCC recurrence compared to none in the WELR group, and one patient in the WELR had a positive surgical margin, which was cleared during the reconstruction.Conclusions: BCC tumor margins may extend far beyond clinical margins and the MOR required is often more than 3–4 mm. MMS ensures clear tumor margins but is not practical for all patients. A stratification system could help divide patients between the treatment strategies.
Some Infections May Be Endogenous
Authors: Salerian Alen J
Published: August 2021

This paper advances a previous hypothesis “Human body may produces bacteria”, and proposes that some infections may be endogenous. It has been demonstrated that the Christensenellaceae, a family in the phylum Firmicutes, is heritable suggesting that human genetic material and gut bacterial material are related and human cells may generate some gut microbes It has also been shown that the fetus is exposed to bacteria prior to birth -without any evidence that they are contaminants or acquired from the environment -suggesting a possible endogenous origin of bacteria in breast milk, meconium, placenta , umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid. Malassezia yeasts are not contagious, not culturable from the environment, cannot colonize human skin by inoculation without occlusion and neonate skin is free of Malassezia but is colonized in the first month of life suggesting that they may be endogenous. Human stem cells seem to be the most likely candidates to produce microbes: This is because they differentiate to epithelial cells and cancer cells and contain the essentials to transform to microorganisms. Future experimental studies are necessary to validate this hypothesis which may offer a new paradigm to combat opportunistic infections of possible endogenous origin.

A audição é a capacidade de perceber os sons, as vibrações periódicas de ar. A ausência da audição, no entanto, não impede a formação do desenvolvimento cognitivo do sujeito surdo, que se dá através de interações sociais, ou por imitação dos sinais de um adulto. O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma pesquisa bibliográfica narrativa sobre as bases biológicas da surdez, mostrando as dificuldades dos surdos quanto ao acesso a saúde e a educação. Realizamos uma busca nas bases de dados científicas com as palavras chaves desta pesquisa com as palavras-chave: surdez, equidade, acessibilidade, língua brasileira de sinais e educação. Os dados analisados sugerem que a saúde precisa ser informatizada no processo de triagem auditiva neonatal, para que sejam distribuídas as ações e verbas futuras para a melhoria da qualidade de vida desta população. Estes dados só terão sentido se após a conclusão da triagem, sejam iniciados os processos de reabilitação auditiva e o desenvolvimento da língua de sinais. Todos os serviços de saúde e educação devem permitir o acesso à informação sobre a qualidade da saúde do paciente ou aluno surdo promovendo/possibilitando o desenvolvimento de atividades de vida diária em função da língua escolhida como meio de comunicação, seja, de sinais, orais ou português escrito.

Introduction: The thrombin generation assay (TGA) assesses the risk of developing thrombotic events. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the use of oral contraceptives (OCs) and hormone therapy (HT) with the TGA and resistance to activated protein C (APC). Methods: Cross-sectional study with women from the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). TGA was performed by the CAT method. Results: There was an association between all parameters of the TGA and the use of OCs and an association of lag time and peak time with the use of HT. Conclusion: The TGA allows us to assess the hypercoagulability status and may be useful in the management of female hormones users.

O projeto Apicultura na educação infantil: Interagindo com as abelhas para conhecer, preservar e consumir foi implantado no ano de 2019 nas dependências do Campus Tancredo de Almeida Neves (CTAN) na Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (UFSJ). A promoção de conhecimento sobre a diversidade das espécies de abelhas (melipona – abelhas sem ferrão ou melífera – abelha com ferrão), atividades apícolas, seus produtos e a interação das abelhas com o meio ambiente, teve o intuito de despertar o interesse das crianças para a preservação de colônias, a valorização de produtos apícolas, e maior aceitação da implementação do mel nas merendas escolares. Ao fim do primeiro ano da realização do projeto, os primeiros reflexos do trabalho realizado foram notados: duas escolas participantes do projeto solicitaram junto à prefeitura, a demanda de 3.000 sachês de mel para chamada pública através do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE), para aquisição de gêneros alimentícios da Agricultura Familiar, para alimentação escolar.

Objetivo: Identificar os fatores associados ao cumprimento de meta de utilização dos serviços odontológicos na atenção básica e atenção especializada dos municípios com CEO do estado da Bahia, de 2013 a 2019. Metodologia: Este estudo é do tipo transversal, exploratório e analítico, utilizando dados secundários obtidos do Sistema de Informação Ambulatorial, da plataforma WEB e-Gestor Atenção Básica, do Sistema de Informações sobre Orçamentos Públicos em Saúde e do 1º ciclo do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade dos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas. Foram analisados 73 municípios da Bahia com equipe de saúde bucal implantada e com CEO, através dos indicadores de utilização propostos para saúde bucal pelo Ministério da Saúde. As variáveis foram relacionadas às características demográficas, financiamento e oferta dos serviços, sendo a variável resposta o cumprimento de 50% de dois padrões da Portaria Nº 1.631 de 1 de outubro de 2015. Resultados: Na amostra final, 58,90% dos municípios eram de pequeno porte, 50,68% mostraram acima de 85,9% de participação das transferências intergovernamentais na receita total, 49,32% tinham cobertura de saúde bucal na atenção básica acima de 77,7% e 43,83% possuíam CEO tipo I. Houve significância estatística na associação entre cobertura de saúde bucal e cumprimento de 50% ou mais da meta. Conclusão: Foi evidenciado que municípios de menor porte, com participação das transferências intergovernamentais na receita total acima de 85,9%, com cobertura de saúde bucal acima de 77% e com CEO tipo I, obtiveram maior cumprimento de meta. Conclui-se que a baixa cobertura de saúde bucal contribui para o não cumprimento de 50% da meta.

O tradicional treinamento pré-clínico da radiologia em seres humanos é contraindicado, uma vez que a exposição a radiações ionizantes sem necessidade pode ser prejudicial à saúde. Atualmente, existem metodologias desenvolvidas para o ensino nas tomadas radiográficas, como uso de manequins, crânios artificiais ou até mesmo realidade virtual. No entanto, essas técnicas apresentam limitações, como não proporcionar ao acadêmico pontos de reparo anatômicos, ausência de limitação de lábios e mucosa jugal, não simulação de posicionamento adequado tanto do paciente como do aparelho de raio X, além de não acrescentar conhecimento de interpretação radiográfica e o elevado custo. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi desenvolver uma metodologia de ensino pré-clínico prático da Radiologia Odontológica por meio de um novo dispositivo com características da arcada humana, que pode ser acoplado a um simulador de paciente, possibilitando o uso de posicionadores, posicionamento de paciente e dos feixes de raio X, além da interpretação das características e baixo custo. Para a confecção do dispositivo, utilizou-se a base de um manequim odontológico comercial, acrescido de características como dentes com câmera pulpar, trabeculado ósseo, dente tratado endodonticamente, restaurações, preparo de prótese fixa e provisório, implantes, raiz, cistos e ausência dentária. O manequim pode ser adaptado a um simulador de paciente, a fim de simular as posições de trabalho, uso de posicionadores radiográficos, posicionamento de paciente e dos feixes de raio X. Conclui-se que é possível mimetizar a cavidade bucal com baixo custo, para que o aluno adquira conhecimento de radiologia prévio à prática clínica em pacientes.

O fornecimento de uma dieta balanceada aos caninos e felinos contribui para promover uma boa qualidade de vida. Em vista disso, para a elaboração de uma dieta adequada, deve-se considerar as condições inerentes a cada espécie, tais como o comportamento alimentar e as características do trato gastrointestinal, uma vez que cães e gatos apresentam particularidades e distinções no que tange ao aproveitamento e utilização dos diferentes nutrientes. Nesse contexto, é imprescindível uma avaliação criteriosa acerca das condições individuais do canino ou felino previamente às recomendações dietéticas. Assim, o objetivo da presente revisão é relatar a importância dos principais nutrientes associados às dietas de cães e gatos domésticos, bem como o seu papel nas diferentes fases da vida desses animais, a partir da busca de livros e artigos científicos pertinentes ao assunto em bancos de dados digitais. Além das distinções referentes aos nutrientes da dieta, constatam-se particularidades envolvendo o ciclo biológico dos pets, de modo que se torna necessária uma maior atenção direcionada às particularidades dos animais em período reprodutivo, de crescimento ou ainda àqueles no estágio de senilidade. Associada a essas considerações, a análise a respeito das dietas alternativas na alimentação de cães e gatos também assume um importante papel no cenário da nutrição animal, no sentido de garantir a ingestão de nutrientes adequados por parte dos pets em questão. Portanto, evidencia-se que o fornecimento de uma dieta balanceada constitui-se como uma importante ferramenta na promoção de saúde ao longo de todo o ciclo biológico de cães e gatos.

A síndrome hemolítico-urêmica atípica (SHUa) é caracterizada por uma tríade de trombocitopenia, anemia hemolítica micro angiopática e insuficiência renal aguda. A patogênese da SHU corresponde à micro angiopatia trombótica (MAT). O trabalho tem por objetivo expor através da análise de artigos científicos as principais manifestações clínicas e os desafios no diagnóstico da Síndrome Hemolítico-Urêmica Atípica. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo que se baseia na produção científica a partir de estudos já publicados entre os anos de 2018 a 2021. Embora a síndrome hemolítico-urêmica atípica seja rara, está relacionada a complicações e sequelas importantes secundárias a alterações da função renal; 42% das crianças e 27% dos adultos podem apresentar trombocitopenia grave (<50.000 plaquetas / mL). Da mesma forma, a lesão renal aguda relacionada é grave em 59% das crianças e 81% dos adultos, e pode ser acompanhada por envolvimento glomerular, creatinina, hematúria, proteinúria, edema e hipertensão. O tratamento que possui mais eficácia contra a SHUa é com a utilização do fármaco Eculizumab. Este fármaco apresenta um alto custo, mas estudos mostram aumento da expectativa e qualidade de vida desses pacientes com o uso desta medicação. É necessário que sejam realizados mais estudos acerca desta doença para o desenvolvimento de novas medidas de diagnóstico e terapias contra a SHUa com menor custo e com fácil acesso para a população devido a gravidade da doença e da sua alta taxa de mortalidade.
