Authors: Nguyen Van An
Published: February 2022

Pevic organs prolapse (POP) is a health problem that affects may women over the age of 50 and affects their quality of life. The rate of POP patients requiring surgical intervention is about 11%, but the recurrent rate is quite high, up to about 30%. Therefore, surgeons in the field of urogynecology need to master surgical techniques as well as surgical indications, in order to bring high therapeutic efficacy and avoid recurrence. There are many surgical techniques for treatment of POP, with two main approaches: the abdominal and the vaginal passage. We present transvaginal surgeries with techniqurs of stitching on the sacrospinous ligament, which according to the literature as well as our clinical practice have shown high success rates, low complication and recurrence rates.

Background: The aim of this study was to establish reference range with gestation for Doppler parameters in the fetal pulmonary venous blood of normal fetal growth, and indices reflecting left atrial pressure changes. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional data were collected from 168 normal fetal growth between 28 and 40 weeks of gestation. Investigations of fetal pulmonary veins was performed by Doppler echocardiography to measure parameters: peak systolic velocity (S), peak diastolic velocity (D), end-diastolic velocity (A), and to calculate : peak velocity index for veins (PVIV), pulsatility index for viens (PIV). Regression analysis was used to detemine reference ranges with gestation. Results: Mean maternal age of study population was 29.79 ± 5.47 years old, and mean gestational age was 35.55 ± 2.73 weeks, average birth weight of fetus was 2547 ± 647 gr. A significant increase was observed in S, D, A with advancing gestation. Meanwhile, PVIV and PIV was decreasing significantly by advancing the gestational age. Conclusion: A reference range with gestation for Doppler parameters of fetal pulmonary venous blood of normal fetal growth has been established In the case of a normally growing fetus with a gestational age of 28 to 40 weeks, fetal pulmonary venous Doppler parameters are strongly correlated with gestational age. The flow velocity of the S, D, and A waves increases with gestational age. Peak velocity index (PVIV) and pulse index (PI) decrease with gestational age.

Background and objectives: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) issue is one of the 21st century’s major health and development challenge, both in terms of human suffering and the damage they cause to a country’s socioeconomic fabric. This study aimed to describe the current risk factors of NCDs and its comparison among three ecological regions in Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was applied for this study design. Data were collected from 10/2019 to 12/2019 from direct interviews of 1167 people aged 15 years and older living in urban, rural and mountainous areas of the province. The WHO-STEPS questionnaire was adopted for the data collection instructions. Results: The percentage of adults smoking in the rural area (50.3%) was higher than those who live in mountainous (41.2%) and urban (8.5%) areas (p<0.001). The figures for alcohol consumption at harmful levels of the people in mountainous, urban and rural areas were 80.6%; 10.7%; 8.7% respectively (p<0.001). There were more adults who consumed vegetables/fruits less than the WHO recommendation levels living in the rural area (45.6%) than those living in the urban area (28.0%) and mountainous area (26.4%), respectively (p<0.001). The proportion of people having physical activity less than the WHO recommendation levels in urban, rural and mountainous areas were 40.6%; 37.7%; 21.7% respectively (p<0.001). The percentages of people living in urban and rural areas who were overweight and obese, both are 33.7%, are higher than the percentage of people in mountainous areas (32.6%) (p=0.045). Conclusions: The risk factors of NCDs are different among three ecological regions of the province. Therefore, it needs various appropriate intervention approaches to reduce NCDs risk factors in each region.

Authors: Truong Thi Linh Giang
Published: February 2022

Objectives: 1) To evaluate of related characteristics and risk factors in women with previous incisions. 2) To stduy management attitude and treatment outcome in these cases. Methods: We carried out a crosssectional study of 310 women with previous cesarean section in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from January 2020 to August 2020. Their medical record was subjected to several assays. Results: Factors associated with likelihood of TOLAC were the followings: maternal age (p=0.026; 95% CI), maternal height (p=0.007; 95% CI), previous VB before CS (p=0.006; 95% CI), more than one cesarean delivery (p<0.001; 95%CI), Interdelivery Interval (p=0.028; 95% CI). The VBAC rate in our study is 2.3%. Maternal and neonatal outcome from ERCD is better than TOLAC. Conclusions: There are many factors that influence treatment options in women with previous cesarean section. Elective Repeat Cesarean Delivery (ERCD) is still considered as the main option in Vietnam. Maternal risks and neonatal morbidity from ERCD and Trial of Labor After Previous Cesarean Delivery (TOLAC) in Term Patients are different. Accordingly, potential risks and benefits of both TOLAC and elective repeat cesarean delivery should be discussed.

Published: February 2022

Mudanças vêm ocorrendo no mercado de trabalho em Odontologia, principalmente, pelo crescente no número de instituições de ensino superior que vêm surgindo no país. Em Fortaleza, capital do Estado do Ceará, essa realidade não é diferente, possuindo hoje a cidade oito instituições de ensino superior em Odontologia, cenário esse que pode provocar um colapso no mercado de trabalho odontológico, devido ao aumento progressivo de profissionais que estão sendo graduados anualmente. Diante desse cenário, o objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer o perfil de graduados e graduandos em Odontologia da cidade de Fortaleza-CE, investigando suas motivações e expectativas profissionais. Como metodologia, optou-se por um estudo de caso, cujos os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário, e observação não participante, para graduandos do primeiro ao décimo semestres, e para cirurgiões-dentistas já graduados na respectiva instituição, entre os anos de 2018 e 2019, totalizando a amostra 229 entrevistados. Os dados foram analisados qualitativamente, comparando-os com outros estudos já publicados. Os resultados revelaram que os entrevistados são predominantemente do gênero feminino, solteiros e com idade entre 17 a 25 anos. A escolha pelo curso de Odontologia foi motivada por vocação, seguido do desejo de estabilidade e influência da família. Em relação as expectativas profissionais, a grande maioria manifestou o desejo em realizar curso de pós-graduação e conciliar o trabalho em consultório próprio e no serviço público. Conclui-se que a maior expectativa dos entrevistados é trabalhar de forma independente, em seus consultórios odontológicos, podendo complementar sua renda através do serviço público ou privado. Existe a necessidade de fazer um acompanhamento do perfil desses graduados e graduandos, a fim de monitorar o alcance de suas expectativas profissionais e educação continuada.

Published: February 2022

В статье проведена оценка эффективности монотерапии и комбинированной терапии симптоматической офтальмогипертензии у пациентов с эндокринной офтальмопатией (ЭОП). Изучены показатели внутриглазного давления (ВГД) и активность течения ЭОП у 145 пациентов (290 глаз и орбит) с различными формами ЭОП. Из общего числа обследованных пациентов выделена подгруппа пациентов с впервые выявленной симптоматической офтальмогипертензией - 28 пациентов (56 глаз и орбит), 19% случаев. Учитывая активное течение ЭОП, пациентам с симптоматической офтальмогипертензией назначена противоотечная, противовоспалительная (пульс-терапия метилпреднизолоном) и местная гипотензивная терапия. На старте всем пациентам с симптоматической офтальмогипертензией назначена монотерапия селективными бета-адреноблокаторами (ББ) или аналогами простагландинов (АПГ). При отсутствии компенсации уровня ВГД пациенты переведены на фиксированные комбинации бета-адреноблокатор и ингибитор карбоангидразы (ББ/ИКА) или бета-адреноблокатор и аналог простагландинов (ББ/АПГ). Вподгруппе пациентов с симптоматической офтальмогипертензией монотерапия эффективна при повышении уровня ВГД в пределах Ме 25,5 [25; 26] мм рт. ст. (критерий Уилкоксона, р=0,0004) и среднеактивном течении процесса по шкале CAS Me 5 [4; 5] баллов. В качестве монотерапии наиболее эффективно снижают уровень ВГД селективные ББ (на 20% от исходного). При активном течении процесса (Me 6 [6; 7] баллов) и уровне офтальмотонуса свыше Ме 29 [27,5; 30,5] мм рт. ст. наиболее выраженным гипотензивным эффектом обладают фиксированные комбинации ББ/ИКА (критерий Манна - Уитни, р=0,005), они позволяют снизить уровень ВГД в комплексной терапии на 31,1% от исходного. При выборе стартовой гипотензивной терапии у пациентов с симптоматической офтальмогипертензией на фоне ЭОП необходимо учитывать не только уровень ВГД, но и активность течения процесса.

Синдром увеальной эффузии - редкое идиопатическое состояние, которое встречается преимущественно у мужчин среднего возраста с гиперметропией и характеризуется цилиохориоидальной отслойкой с последующей экссудативной отслойкой сетчатки. Цель статьи - представить клинический случай с проведенным оперативным лечением. Под нашим наблюдением находился пациент - мужчина 47 лет, который обратился с жалобами на ощущение мерцания, прогрессирующее ухудшение зрения на обоих глазах в течение нескольких лет. После обследования ему был поставлен диагноз «синдром увеальной эффузии, экссудативная отслойка сетчатки». Пациенту была выполнена задняя склерэктомия под местной инстилляционной анестезией. На примере нашего клинического случая можно говорить о том, что нанесение склеростомических отверстий действительно является эффективным методом разрешения синдрома увеальной эффузии.

Authors: Велитченко А.Н. , Павлов О.М.
Published: February 2022

В последние годы в медицине активно используется метод обогащенной тромбоцитами плазмы. Возможность непосредственно забирать кровь у пациентов во время оперативного вмешательства позволяет быстро получать естественные факторы роста, которые не являются дорогостоящими и относительно легки в применении. В настоящее время практически отсутствуют научно обоснованные данные по изучению влияния различных параметров устройств для центрифугирования на конечные показатели сгустков после разделения. Наш опыт широкого применения обогащенной тромбоцитами плазмы в клинической практике челюстно-лицевой хирургии и хирургической стоматологии с 2017 г. свидетельствует исключительно о положительных результатах использования данной методики при лечении различных патологий. Предпочтительными для клинического использования являются протоколы низкоскоростного центрифугирования. Использование протоколов высокоскоростного центрифугирования нежелательно при заполнении полостей большого объема и/или недостаточной васкуляризации зоны разделения в ране.

In recent years, the use of the method of platelet-rich plasma has been actively used in medicine. The ability to directly take blood from patients during surgery makes it possible to obtain inexpensive natural growth factors that are not expensive and relatively easy to use.At present, there is virtually no scientifically substantiated data examining the effect of various parameters of centrifugation devices on the final parameters of clots after separation.Our experience in the widespread use of platelet-rich plasma in the clinical practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery since 2017 testifies exclusively to the positive results of using this technique in the treatment of various pathologies.Low speed centrifugation protocols are preferred for clinical use. The use of high-speed centrifugation protocols is undesirable when filling great volume spaces and/or when there is insufficient vascularization of the separation zone in the wound.

Si bien estudios efectuados por Levine y Stetson dejaron entrever la posibilidad de estar en presencia de una nueva aglutinina distinta de las hasta ese momento conocidas, es recién en enero de 1940 en que Lansteiner y Wiener comunican la existencia de un nuevo aglutinógeno contenido en el eritrocito responsable de la presencia de la aglutinina hasta ese momento hipotética. Ya mucho antes de este trascendental descubrimiento se describieron algunas de las formas clínicas en que se manifiesta la enfermedad, pero lejos estuvieron quienes así lo hicieron, de sospechar el verdadero significado y la verdadera etiología y patogenia de la enfermedad que describían. La primera forma conocida fué la anasarca fetal, que mereció la atención de Jakesch en 1778 y posteriormente de Eppinger, quienes la relacionan con la leucemia. Cuatro años más tarde Balletyne, hace una descripción completa pero en 1910 Schridde en base a un estudio profundo de cuatro casos, pone en evidencia las alteraciones de los órganos hematopoyéticos y lo presencia de abundante cantidad de tejido mieloideo en hígado y bazo como también, numerosos eritroblastos, mieloblastos y mielocitos en la sangre periférica, describiendo el cuadro como una anemia grave, primitiva, que provoca la hiparplasia compensadora del parénquima hemetopoyético a lo que se agrega el edema generalizado.

This article discusses the standardization of graduate quality as the readiness of prospective professional teacher students at the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training, Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq State Islamic University Jember. This study uses a qualitative method by conducting semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. Sample selection using the purposive method. The findings of this study are that the standardization of graduate quality consists of 4 components: Student Quality Assistance Books, Curriculum Equivalent Books, Comprehensive Examination Quality Assistance Books, and Internal Quality Assurance Systems. Quality standards for graduates are formulated by the Faculty Quality Assurance Team, along with the Study Program Quality Control Team, as well as lecturers. The implementation of graduate quality standards includes quality bills that must be mastered by students, namely bills for memorizing the letters of juz 30, memorizing tarbawi verses, and memorizing tarbawi traditions. The implementation obstacle encountered was the existence of the SPAN system in the student selection process which was only based on report cards, causing the mapping of the ability to read and write the Koran and religious understanding to be unclear.

Published: February 2022

Predicting student academic performance plays an important role in academics. Classifying students using conventional techniques cannot give the desired level of accuracy, while doing it with the use of soft computing techniques may prove to be beneficial. Accurate prediction and early identification of student at-risk are of high concern for educational institutions. Artificial Neural network was employed to complete the performance procedure over MATLAB simulation tool. The performance of Neural Network was evaluated by accuracy and Mean Square Error (MSE). This tool has a simple interface and can be used by an educator for classifying students and distinguishing students with low achievements or at-risk students who are likely to have low performance. Findings revealed that Neural network has the highest prediction accuracy by (98%) followed by decision tree by (91%). Support vector machine and k-nearest neighbor had the same accuracy (83%), while naive Bayes gave lower prediction accuracy (76%).

The paper is under final review on IEEE Transaction on Network and Service Management.

Innovative traffic engineering functions and services require disrupting routing and forwarding mechanisms to be performed with low overhead over complex network topologies. Source routing (SR) is a prominent alternative to table-based routing for providing the needed expressiveness and agility by reducing the number of network states. This work proposes the M-PolKA, a topology-agnostic multipath source routing scheme and orchestration architecture for reliable communications, which explores special properties from the Residue Number System (RNS) polynomial arithmetic. A P4-based proof-of-concept is experimentally demonstrated using emulated and hardware prototypes. Also, use cases for revealing M-PolKA's functionalities are tested in different scenarios in order to address problems, such as communication reliability improvement, agile path migration and fast failure reaction. Finally, low overhead for extra functionalities is observed when RNS-based SR is compared to traditional routing approaches.
TCP FlexiS: A New Approach To Incipient Congestion Detection and Control
Authors: Li Qian
Published: February 2022

Abstract—Bulk data transfer applications are greedy in nature in that they have virtually unlimited bandwidth requirements. If serviced by a best effort congestion control, they can create periodic packet loss, long delay and throughput degradation of cross traffic, which may disrupt the normal operation of concurrent QoS sensitive applications. A Lower than Best Effort (LBE) congestion control can make greedy applications only utilize bandwidth left by QoS sensitive applications, thus improve QoS. We propose FlexiS – a Flexible Sender side LBE congestion control mechanism. Unlike most existing LBE congestion controls, which use base delay in incipient congestion detection, FlexiS employs a trend of delay based congestion detector that is more robust to dynamic network environments, in which base delay is difficult to estimate. A non-linear increase and multiplicative decrease controller is used to adapt sending rate by FlexiS. Extensive emulation and Internet tests showed that: (1) FlexiS generally has much lower impact on coexisting best effort traffic than LEDBAT; (2) FlexiS is scalable across a wide range of available bandwidth; (3) aggregate FlexiS traffic can effectively utilize available bandwidth; (4) in most situations, FlexiS flows with the same or different RTTs can fairly share available bandwidth – achieving a fairness index greater than 0.99; (5) the performance of FlexiS is almost not affected by route change and active queue management.
Fast 2-Step Regularization on Style Optimization for Real Face Morphing
Authors: Yu Cheng , Wang Wenmin , Li Honglei , Bugiolacchi Roberto
Published: February 2022

StyleGAN is now capable of achieving excellent results, especially high-quality face synthesis. Recently, some studies have tried to invert real face images into style latent space via StyleGAN. However, morphing real faces via latent representation is still in its infancy. Training costs are high and/or require huge samples with labels. By adding regularization to style optimization, we propose a novel method to morph real faces based on StyleGAN. To do the supervised task, we label latent vectors via synthesized faces and release the label set; then we utilise logistic regression to fast discover interpretable directions in latent space. Appropriate regularization helps us to optimize both latent vectors (faces and directions). Moreover, we use learned directions under different layer representations to handle real face morphing. Compared to the existing methods, our method faster yields a larger diverse and realistic output. Code and cases are available at \url{https://github.com/disanda/RFM}.

Published: February 2022

The road to extreme low latency urges the invention of intelligent access schemes that depart from the shortcomings associated with the classic ones. In this work, we present a novel traffic prediction and fast uplink framework for IoT devices activated by binary Markovian events. First, we apply the forward algorithm in the context of hidden Markov models (HMM) to predict the hidden states, which are used to schedule the available resources to the devices with maximum likelihood activation probabilities via fast uplink grant. In addition, we evaluate the regret metric as the number of missed resource allocation opportunities to evaluate the performance of the prediction. Next, we formulate a fairness optimization problem to minimize the age of information while keeping the regret as minimum as possible. Finally, we propose an iterative algorithm to estimate the model hyperparameters (activation probabilities) in a real-time application and apply an online-learning version of the proposed traffic prediction scheme.

Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform baseline models such as time division multiple access (TDMA) and grant-free (GF) random-access in terms of regret, the efficiency of system usage, and age of information.
Automatic Abnormality Detection and Estimation in Small Arms Barrel – A New Software-Based System for Bangladesh Army
Authors: Mizanuzzaman Md , Nyeem Hussain , Kader Md Faisal
Published: February 2022

 The small arms generally capture a
significant range of infantry weapons that an individual soldier can carry and
operate. Excessive use with inadequate maintenance of these weapons gradually
forms abnormalities like corrosion, crack, bulge, and particle deposition on
their inner surface. Such abnormalities inspection has been conventionally manual (with
open-eyes), tedious, inefficient requiring much effort and time, and susceptible
to incorrect detection. Therefore, this paper presents a new software-based
inspection system with automatic detection and estimation of the surface
abnormality as a timely requirement. The state of abnormalities is determined
and characterized for the small arms made of steel that eventually result in
different faults and reduce the weapons' efficiency. A software-based system is
designed with a high definition, small-aperture, and low-powered camera to
acquire, process, and analyze the inner-surface images in real-time. The
surface abnormalities are then determined and estimated according to the
detected features of the abnormalities. The proposed system would offer an
effortless early-detection and more accurate estimation of the inner-surface
abnormalities to ensure appropriate diagnosis and longer lifecycle of the small
arms.
Joint Energy and Performance Aware Relay Positioning in Flying Networks

Published: February 2022

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as suitable platforms for transporting and positioning communications nodes on demand, including Wi-Fi Access Points and cellular Base Stations. This paved the way for the deployment of flying networks capable of temporarily providing wireless connectivity and reinforcing coverage and capacity of existing networks. Several solutions have been proposed for the positioning of UAVs acting as Flying Access Points (FAPs). Yet, the positioning of Flying Communications Relays (FCRs) in charge of forwarding the traffic to/from the Internet has not received equal attention. In addition, state of the art works are focused on optimizing both the flying network performance and the energy-efficiency from the communications point of view, leaving aside a relevant component: the energy spent for the UAV propulsion.

We propose the Energy and Performance Aware relay Positioning (EPAP) algorithm. EPAP defines target performance-aware Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) values for the wireless links established between the FCR UAV and the FAPs and, based on that, computes the trajectory to be completed by the FCR UAV so that the energy spent for the UAV propulsion is minimized. EPAP was evaluated in terms of both the flying network performance and the FCR UAV endurance, considering multiple networking scenarios. Simulation results show gains up to 25% in the FCR UAV endurance, while not compromising the Quality of Service offered by the flying network.
