This study compares the EASI monitoring setting with the conventional 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients experiencing ventricular tachycardia (VT) episodes. The results revealed that the EASI monitoring setting demonstrated a VT morphology that closely resembled that of the conventional ECG in the majority of cases. This finding suggests that EASI monitoring could serve as a valuable alternative in situations where obtaining a conventional ECG is either risky or not feasible.

Background/Aims: Good oral hygiene practice helps to prevent oral cavity diseases and dental problems. This study aims to assess oral hygiene practices and their associated factors among middle-aged people in a rural municipality of central Nepal. Materials and Methods: This study collected data from 291 middle-aged adults in rural Nepal using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data was entered into Epi-data 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS 22. An oral hygiene score was calculated based on good oral hygiene practices, and chi-square tests and logistic regression models were used to measure associations between variables. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated to measure net effects, with a p-value of 0.05 considered as significant association. Results: The study found that the majority of respondents (80%) brushed their teeth once a day, with over half (56.7%) having poor oral hygiene practices. The majority (60%) changed their toothbrush every three months, and most (98%) used toothpaste but did not know about the benefits of fluoride. A significant association was found between age (p=<0.001), gender (p=0.011), education (p=<0.001), income (p=0.018) and employment status (p=0.037) visits with oral hygiene practices. Females had three times higher odds of good oral hygiene practices than males (OR: 3.51(1.86-6.62)), literate individuals had higher odds of good oral hygiene (OR: 2.04(1.06-3.92). Conclusions: The study found that most respondents brushed their teeth once a day, with over half having poor oral hygiene practices. Gender and education were associated with good oral hygiene practices. The study suggests the need for oral health services and hygiene awareness programs in rural areas.

Covid-19 is a dangerous disease caused by a virus and has a rapid rate of development. The Covid-19 virus is known to have entered Indonesia since the beginning of 2020, and continued to take many victims until the end of 2021. The Minister of Health and the government are trying to reduce the number of Covid-19 victims by inviting all people to be diligent in wearing masks when in public places, diligently washing hands and not forgetting to always carry hand sanitizers. This virus seems to be a reminder of the importance of maintaining personal hygiene and the surrounding environment. Over time, this dangerous virus is decreasing, but of course it doesn't necessarily make people careless and forget the habit of maintaining personal and environmental hygiene. Therefore, the community service team together with Darma Cendika Catholic University students mingled with the community in Kampung Kapasari Pedukuhan 3 Surabaya to clean the environment, provide trash can facilities, distribute hand sanitizers, basic necessities, and socialize related to public awareness to protect the environment.

Parkinson’s Disease Classification Framework Using Vocal Dynamics in Connected Speech
Authors: Appakaya Sai Bharadwaj , Pratihar Ruchira , Sankar Ravi
Published: November 2023

Parkinson’s disease (PD) classification through speech has been an advancing field of research because of its ease of acquisition and processing. The minimal infrastructure requirements of the system have also made it suitable for telemonitoring applications. Researchers have studied the effects of PD on speech from various perspectives using different speech tasks. Typical speech deficits due to PD include voice monotony (e.g., monopitch), breathy or rough quality, and articulatory errors. In connected speech, these symptoms are more emphatic, which is also the basis for speech assessment in popular rating scales used for PD, like the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn and Yahr (HY). The current study introduces an innovative framework that integrates pitch-synchronous segmentation and an optimized set of features to investigate and analyze continuous speech from both PD patients and healthy controls (HC). Comparison of the proposed framework against existing methods has shown its superiority in classification performance and mitigation of overfitting in machine learning models. A set of optimal classifiers with unbiased decision-making was identified after comparing several machine learning models. The outcomes yielded by the classifiers demonstrate that the framework effectively learns the intrinsic characteristics of PD from connected speech, which can potentially offer valuable assistance in clinical diagnosis.
Deep Learning-Based Segmentation of Intertwined Fruit Trees for Agricultural Tasks
Authors: La Young-Jae , Seo Dasom , Kang Junhyeok , Kim Minwoo , Yoo Tae-Woong , Oh Il-Seok
Published: November 2023

Fruit trees in orchards are typically placed at equal distances in rows; therefore, their branches are intertwined. The precise segmentation of a target tree in this situation is very important for many agricultural tasks, such as yield estimation, phenotyping, spraying, and pruning. However, our survey on tree segmentation revealed that no study has explicitly addressed this intertwining situation. This paper presents a novel dataset in which a precise tree region is labeled carefully by a human annotator by delineating the branches and trunk of a target apple tree. Because traditional rule-based image segmentation methods neglect semantic considerations, we employed cutting-edge deep learning models. Five recently pre-trained deep learning models for segmentation were modified to suit tree segmentation and were fine-tuned using our dataset. The experimental results show that YOLOv8 produces the best average precision (AP), 93.7 box AP@0.5:0.95 and 84.2 mask AP@0.5:0.95. We believe that our model can be successfully applied to various agricultural tasks.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the dietary inclusion of ensiled OC on milk yield, composition, fatty acid (FA) profile, and the expression of selected genes involved in lipid metabolism in the udder and adipose tissue of goats. Seventy-two Damascus dairy goats in mid-lactation were assigned randomly to three iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic diets containing 0, 10, and 20% of ensiled OC as a replacement of forage (OC0, OC10, and OC20, respectively) for 42 days. During weeks 5 and 6 of the trial, dry matter intake, milk yield, milk composition, and FA profiles were recorded, while mammary and perirenal adipose tissue samples were also collected from six animals per treatment from the OC0 and OC20 groups for gene expression analysis. No significant differences were observed among groups concerning milk yield, 4% fat-corrected milk, fat, or protein yield (kg/d). In contrast, the milk fat percentage was gradually increased with increasing OC inclusion rates in the diets, while milk protein percentages were elevated in both OC groups but significantly only in the milk of the OC20 group. The content of FA between C4:0 to C16:0 was reduced, while mono-unsaturated FA (MUFA) concentration was enhanced in the goat milk of OC groups. The OC feeding treatment was associated with the increased mammary expression of SLC2A1 (p < 0.05), VLDLR (p < 0.01), FABP3 (p < 0.01), and elevated SLC2A1 (p < 0.05) and FASN (p < 0.01) gene expression in the adipose tissue of goats fed the OC20 diet. Overall, OC can be used in goats’ diets as a forage replacement, at least in the inclusion rate of 20% DM, since this could increase the milk protein and fat percentage and enrich its content with beneficial for human health lipids without adversely affecting milk production traits.

Published: November 2023

Background: We investigated the growth and feeding characteristics of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer, during early ontogenesis. Methods: The growth indices of hatchlings fed compound feed were measured from 0 to 50 days post hatching (dph). The absorption time of the yolk sac and oil globule, as well as the rate of first feeding were measured to characterise the early growth stage and determine the point-of-no-return (PNR). Feeding characteristics and rhythms were investigated under a light/dark cycle and under continuous light. Results: Growth indices increased significantly at 24, 28, 30, 40, 45, and 50 dph. The yolk sac and oil globules were completely absorbed before 4 dph, indicative of a short mixed-nutrition period at 3–4 dph. Under starvation conditions, the first feeding rate was highest (86%) at 0.5 dph and then decreased to 53.3% at 1.5 dph and 26.2% at 2 dph, suggesting that the PNR occurs at 1.5–2 dph. The feeding peak appeared at 15:00–18:00 and under light conditions, while the feeding trough appeared at 0:00–3:00. Conclusions: Compound feed supplied adequate nutrition for early growth and development. The peaks and troughs of feeding times were indicative of daytime feeding behaviour. These results provide guidance for successful rearing of filefish seedlings and juveniles.
Analysis and Design of Protection Device for Anchor Cable Pull-Out in High-Stress Roadways
Authors: Guo Fuxin , Tu Min , Dang Jiaxin
Published: November 2023

In regions with high-stress roadway stress, anchor cables frequently experience damage, leading to risky pull-outs and ejections. This study aimed to determine the dynamics of such incidents, refine protective devices, and validate their efficacy in enhancing safety. Drawing from an ejection accident in the 1632 (3) roadway of Pan San Mine, a combination of laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, simulations, and field applications was utilized. The kinetic energy and speed of cable ejections were determined from single-axis tension test data. Based on these insights, a spring-based protection device was conceptualized. Subsequent experiments and simulations evaluated the energy absorption and deformation characteristics of these devices with different diameters. The results included the following: A cable, during ejection, moved at 48 m/s. Spring protective devices of 4 mm can absorb more energy than the 5 mm, but the anti-ejection effect is poor respectively. Increasing the device diameter improved its performance, especially in controlling spring deformation rate and preventing cable lock-ups. This devised protection mechanism showed promising results when implemented in the 1511 (1) roadway of Zhangji Mine.
Experimental Studies on the Seismic Performance of Underwater Concrete Piers Strengthened by Self-Stressed Anti-Washout Concrete and Segments
Authors: Sun Yu , Xu Wansong , Shen Sheng
Published: November 2023

Given that the existing drainage strengthening methods for underwater damaged piers are expensive, inefficient, and cause shipping traffic disruptions, an urgent need exists to explore undrained strengthening methods, such as the precast concrete segment assembly method (PCSAM). However, the PCSAM has certain limitations, including a considerable strength loss of filled concrete, poor accuracy, poor connection performance of the segment sleeves, etc. Hence, this study developed an improved PCSAM (IPCSAM) by adopting self-stressed anti-washout concrete (SSAWC) as the filling material and developing a lining concrete segment sleeve (LCSS) based on the design principle of shield tunnel lining segments. Subsequently, the seismic performance of the strengthened piers was investigated. First, nine 1/5-scale pier column specimens were designed by considering different influencing factors: the self-stress of the SSAWC, LCSS reinforcement ratio, and initial damage and length–diameter ratio of the pier column. These specimens were tested under low reversed cyclic loading. Second, an extended parameter analysis was performed based on the established numerical models consistent with the quasi-static test’s parameter settings. Finally, a restoring force model of the strengthened piers, including the trilinear skeleton curve model and hysteresis curve model, was established based on the results of the quasi-static test and parameter analysis. The results indicated that the bearing capacity, ductility, and initial stiffness of the specimens strengthened using the IPCSAM increased by approximately 83.5–106.4%, 16.3–50.2%, and 83.9–177.3%, respectively, with the energy dissipation capacity also significantly improved. The self-stress of the SSAWC should not exceed 2.2 MPa, and the recommended ratio of the LCSS thickness to pier column diameter is 1/10. Additionally, the proposed restoring force model is highly accurate and applicable, able to provide a reference for the practical seismic strengthening design of piers.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an anomaly of blood vessel formation. Numerous models have been established to understand the nature of AVM. These models have limitations in terms of the diameter of the vessels used and the impact on the circulatory system. Our goal was to establish an AVM model that does not cause prompt and significant hemodynamic and cardiac alterations but is feasible for follow-up of the AVM’s progression. Sixteen female rats were randomly divided into sham-operated and AVM groups. In the AVM group, the saphenous vein and artery were interconnected using microsurgical techniques. The animals were followed up for 12 weeks. Anastomosis patency and the structural and hemodynamic changes of the heart were monitored. The hearts and vessels were histologically analyzed. During the follow-up period, shunts remained unobstructed. Systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate values slightly and non-significantly decreased in the AVM group. Echocardiogram results indicated minor systolic function impact, with slight and insignificant changes in aortic pressure and blood velocity, and minimal left ventricular wall enlargement. The small-caliber saphenous AVM model does not cause acute hemodynamic changes. Moderate but progressive alterations and venous dilatation confirmed AVM-like features. The model seems to be suitable for studying further the progression, enlargement, or destabilization of AVM.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess changes in muscle properties after a single session of capacitive and resistive energetic transfer (TECAR) therapy on spastic gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles in chronic post-stroke. Methods: A total of 36 chronic stroke survivors with lower limb hypertonia were enrolled in a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The experimental group (n = 18) received a single 30 min session of TECAR therapy in combination with functional massage (FM) on the gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles. The control group (n = 18) received a sham treatment of TECAR therapy (without electrical stimulation) in combination with real FM. The primary outcome was muscle tone of the lower limb muscles assessed with the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The secondary outcomes were goniometric degrees of the MAS (goniometer), neuromuscular properties of the gastrocnemius/quadriceps (myotonometer), and passive range of motion (inclinometer). All measurements were performed at baseline (T0), immediately after treatment (T1), and at 30 min post-treatment (T2) by a blinded assessor. Results: The MAS score ankle dorsiflexion significantly decreased at T0–T1 (p = 0.046), and the change was maintained at T0–T2 (p = 0.019) in the experimental group. Significant improvements were noted in the passive range of motion for knee flexion (p = 0.012) and ankle dorsiflexion (p = 0.034) at T2. In addition, knee flexion improved at T1 (p = 0.019). Conclusion: A single session of Tecar therapy at the same time with FM on the gastrocnemius and rectus femoris immediately reduces muscle tone and increases the passive range of motion of both ankle and knee in chronic stroke survivors. There were no significant changes in the neuromuscular properties measured with myotonometer.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or its ligand 1 (PD-L1) have revolutionized the management of many types of solid tumors, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Both sequential and combinatorial therapeutic strategies utilizing anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated to improve the survival of patients with mRCC as compared to standard therapies. On the other hand, both ICIs and TKIs are well known to potentially cause thyroid disorder adverse events (TDAEs). However, in the context of sequential therapeutic strategy, it is not clear whether prior anti-angiogenic TKI may increase the risk and/or the severity of ICI-related TDAEs. In this work, by describing and analyzing a case series of mRCC patients treated sequentially with prior TKIs and then with ICIs, we investigated the role of prior anti-angiogenic TKI-based treatment as a potential predisposing factor to anti-PD-1-mediated recurrent TDAEs, as well as its potential impact on the clinical characteristics of nivolumab-mediated recurrent TDAEs. Fifty mRCC patients were included in the analysis. TKI-mediated TDAEs were reported in ten out of fifty patients. TKI-mediated TDAEs were characterized by hypothyroidism in all ten patients. Specifically, 40%, 40% and 20% of patients presented grade 1, 2 and 3 hypothyroidisms, respectively. Following tumor progression and during anti-PD-1 nivolumab treatment, five out of ten patients developed anti-PD-1 nivolumab-mediated recurrent TDAEs. Anti-PD-1 nivolumab-mediated recurrent TDAEs were characterized by an early transient phase of thyrotoxicosis and a late phase of hypothyroidism in all five patients. The TDAEs were grade 1 and 2 in four and one patients, respectively. Prior anti-angiogenic TKI did not modify the clinical characteristics of nivolumab-mediated recurrent TDAEs. However, all five patients required an increased dosage of levothyroxine replacement therapy. In conclusion, our work suggests that prior anti-angiogenic TKI-based treatment significantly increases the risk of ICI-mediated recurrent TDAEs in patients with mRCC without modifying their clinical characteristics. The most relevant effect for these patients is the need to increase the dosage of lifelong levothyroxine replacement therapy.

The stability of the body during locomotion is a fundamental requirement for walking animals. The mechanisms that coordinate leg movement patterns are even more complex at water–air interfaces. Water striders are agile creatures on the water surface, but they can be vulnerable to leg damage, which can impair their movement. One can assume the presence of certain compensatory biomechanical factors that are involved in the maintenance of postural balance lost after an amputation. Here, we studied changes in load distribution among the legs and assessed the effects of amputation on the locomotory behavior and postural defects that may increase the risk of locomotion failure. Apparently, amputees recover a stable posture by applying leg position modifications (e.g., widening the stance) and by load redistribution to the remaining legs. Water striders showed steering failure after amputation in all cases. Amputations affected locomotion by (1) altering motion features (e.g., shorter swing duration of midlegs), (2) functional constraints on legs, (3) shorter travelled distances, and (4) stronger deviations in the locomotion path. The legs functionally interact with each other, and removal of one leg has detrimental effects on the others. This research may assist the bioinspired design of aquatic robots.

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are adequate materials for orthopedic and maxilo-facial implants due to their biocompatibility, good mechanical properties closely related to the hard tissues, and processability. Their main drawbacks are the high-speed corrosion process and hydrogen release. In order to improve corrosion and mechanical properties, the Mg matrix can be strengthened through alloying elements with high temperature-dependent solubility materials. Rare earth elements (RE) contribute to mechanical properties and degradation improvement. Another possibility to reduce the corrosion rate of Mg-based alloys was demonstrated to be the different types of coatings (bioceramics, polymers, and composites) applied on their surface. The present investigation is related to the coating of two Mg-based alloys from the system Mg3Nd (Mg-Nd-Y-Zr-Zn) with polymeric-based composite coatings made from cellulose acetate (CA) combined with two fillers, respectively hydroxyapatite (HAp) and Mg particles. The main functions of the coatings are to reduce the biodegradation rate and to modify the surface properties in order to increase osteointegration. Firstly, the microstructural features of the experimental Mg3Nd alloys were revealed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Apart from the surface morphology revealed by SEM, the roughness and wettability of all experimental samples were evaluated. The corrosion behavior of the uncoated and coated samples of both Mg3Nd alloys was investigated by immersion testing and electrochemical testing using Simulated Body Fluid as the medium. The complex in vitro research performed highlights that the composite coating based on CA with HAp particles exhibited the best protective effect for both Mg3Nd alloys.

Preschool should promote children’s well-being and development, but the indoor sound environment is commonly problematic. The aim of our research project Supportive Preschool ACoustic Environment (SPACE) is to identify acoustic quality factors resulting in a supportive sound environment for children. This paper presents the first phase of the project where acoustic conditions were measured in unoccupied preschool rooms and analysed in terms of reverberation time, early decay time, sound strength, speech clarity, unoccupied sound pressure levels, and several room features. The results were compared with current target values, building year, and socioeconomic status of the preschool. A child perspective on room acoustics was, in addition, applied and it was revealed that children may be exposed to a lower sound strength than adults, and that adults may have better speech intelligibility conditions than children. Rooms in newer buildings had a longer reverberation time in the 125 Hz band, lower unoccupied levels, and lower sound strength. These differences could be explained by the trend towards larger rooms and porous acoustic ceilings in newer buildings. We found no significant correlations with the socioeconomic status. Ongoing work will facilitate an analysis of the correlation between the room acoustic parameters, the sound environment and children’s perception.
