A comfortable bed to spend the night in is just one part of a hotel stay. Therefore, people often consider more than just the core product when deciding where to spend the night. The idea is to study how to exercise possibilities affect people’s hotel choices and what kinds of exercise amenities are desired during a hotel stay. Finding an exemplary personal trainer is difficult, with the presence of several coaches. It is necessary to the existence of special professional standards for workers in health centers and clubs, especially since training exerting physical effort is a double-edged sword, and every health problem has its movement program. according to the nature, type, and degree of the health problem. Sports hospitality is one of the most important types of tourism that effectively contributes to the revitalization of tourism, whether internal or external and raises the national economy by holding tournaments and sports competitions to attract large numbers of tourists to participate in these sports tournaments. and profitable trade.

Published: May 2022

To evaluate knowledge, attitude, practice pattern and willingness of the tribal population for eye donation among patients and their relatives attending   outpatient department of Ophthalmology in a tertiary health care hospital in Northern Odisha. A pretested semi-structured questionnaire on eye donation was given to 984 persons, patients as well as their attendants were asked to select the correct answer among the multiple choices given against each question. Data was analyzed using SPSS 26 software. Out of 984 participants, 554(56.3%) were males and 430(43.6%) were females. 876(89%) participants belonged to tribal area.  Among the participants only 220(22.3%) had knowledge about the nearest eye bank and eye donation center .640(65%) had prior knowledge about eye donation. Willingness for eye donation is 48% among tribals. The main reason for unwillingness among tribal population was insufficient information regarding eye donation. Multipronged strategies need to be adopted to provide sufficient information to the tribal population   regarding eye donation to increase their willingness for eye donation.

Published: May 2022

Oral submucous fibrosis(OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder (PMDs) with characteristic epithelial and connective tissue changes and regarded as possessing a high degree of malignant potential. Epithelial dysplasia is an important marker of malignant development from PMDs. Because agreement among oral pathologists is poor regarding lesional diagnosis, Ki-67 as a proliferative marker may have a place in objectively characterizing dysplasia in tissue specimens. The study groups included 60 patients diagnosed with OSMF based on history and clinical examination. After obtaining the details in regard to habits and clinical manifestations, the subjects were divided into Group IA and Group IB (very early and early stages-Group I A, moderate and advanced stages-Group I B). 30 subjects without an OSMF-negative control group and 30 patients of SCC-positive control. Biopsy was taken and subjected for H&E staining and IHC analysis of Ki-67. The mean count of Ki-67 was determined in OSMF cases with dysplasia and without dysplasia by using t test, mean value of Ki-67 in with dysplasia (37.41) was higher than that of without dysplasia (28.41) with no significant difference (p value = 0.0810).

Published: May 2022

Tyson’s glands were supposed to be modified sebaceous glands said to be located on either side of frenulum of prepuce. They were first described by Edward Tyson in the 17th century as macroscopic structures on the corona of the penis, interpreting them as the source of smegma. We report a case of 65-year-old male who presented with the complaint of swelling in the prepuce, (the common location where Tyson’s glands were supposed to located), in the last 6 months with no associated pain or discharge.  The lesion was excised under local anesthesia. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination and was reported as “epidermal inclusion cyst”. Penile epidermal cysts are extremely rare. In penile lesions a correct clinico-pathological correlation is useful to arrive at a diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments and anxiety to the patients.

Published: May 2022

Introducción: La diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es una enfermedad con alta prevalencia a nivel mundial y su incidencia aumenta, por lo que es frecuente que los pacientes que se encuentran hospitalizados por diversas causas tengan diabetes. Las recomendaciones de la American Diabetes Association (ADA) muestran la insulina como medicamento de elección, a pesar de que ambulatoriamente reciban otros medicamentos antidiabéticos. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la no inferioridad de los medicamentos con efecto incretina (Inhibidores de dipeptidil peptidasa IV y agonistas de GLP-1) al compararlos con insulina de forma intrahospitalaria.

Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura y metaanálisis. La búsqueda de literatura se realizó en las bases de datos Pubmed, Embase, Science direct, Scielo, Scopus, Open Grey y Google scholar. Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados comparando el tratamiento con medicamentos con efecto incretina vs esquema basal bolo de insulina en pacientes hospitalizados. El desenlace primario fue el control glucémico (normoglucemia) y como desenlaces secundarios hiper o hipoglucemia. Se calcularon Odds ratios (OR) como medidas de asociación con sus intervalos de confianza del 95% e índices I2 en cada análisis como medida de heterogeneidad, usando el software Review Manager. Para la interpretación, se estableció arbitrariamente 1,25 como límite de no inferioridad.

Resultados: De 116 referencias identificadas como posiblemente elegibles, se incluyeron 7 estudios. Cinco comparaban inhibidores de DPP-4 vs insulina y 2 agonistas de GLP-1 vs insulina.  El OR para normoglucemia fue de 1.35 (IC 95% 1.27- 1.42, I2=95%) al comparar medicamento incretina vs insulina, mientras que para el comparador medicamento incretina asociado a insulina vs insulina fue 1.5 (IC 95% 1.00-2.27, I2  = 95%). Para hiperglucemia en ambas comparaciones los OR fueron 0.81 (IC 95% 0.63-1.04, I2 = 84%) y 0.63 (IC95% 0.50-0.80, I2  = 81%), respectivamente. En el desenlace de hipoglucemia el OR fue 0.15 (IC95% 0.06 a 0.4, I2  = 23%) para medicamento incretina vs insulina y 0.44 (IC 95% 0.18-1.06, I2 = 50%) para medicamento incretina asociado a insulina vs insulina .

Conclusión los medicamentos con efecto incretina fueron inferiores a la insulina para el desenlace de normoglucemia en pacientes diabéticos hospitalizados. En cambio, fueron no inferiores respecto a los desenlaces de hiperglucemia e hipoglucemia. Se requieren nuevos estudios para dar una recomendación para el uso de estos medicamentos en el ámbito intrahospitalario.

Authors: Silva João
Published: May 2022

Este artigo procura abordar as ações estabelecidas nas Frentes de Trabalho no Rio Grande do Norte e as Ligas Camponesas em Pernambuco. Espaços de resistência e conflitos, onde os retirantes da seca a partir do programa norte americano Aliança para o Progresso se estabelecem como agentes modernizadores através de suas funções voltadas à construção de obras emergenciais. A partir da obra de Henrique Alonso, “Criar Ilhas de Sanidade: os Estados Unidos e a Aliança para o Progresso no Brasil (1961-1966)”, o documentário norte americano “The Troubled Land” de 1961 que aborda o tema das Ligas Camponesas no interior pernambucano, e matérias publicadas no Diário de Natal entre 1960 e 1970, foi possibilitada a ampliação do repertório investigativo sobre tal temática. Os resultados mostram que as muitas intervenções realizadas entre as décadas de 1960 e meados de 1970 surgiram como paliativas diante das intempéries climáticas nordestinas, além do reflexo da proposta modernizadora estabelecida pelos Estados Unidos da América aos países que aderissem ao programa. Diante dos fatos, a população necessitada, que buscava aflita por um meio de sobrevivência, encontrou nas ações da elite oligárquica, ainda que não em definitivo, uma solução.

In modern life, drowsiness is one of the major causes of road accidents, many of which are fatal. Analyzing statistics, it can be assumed that most road accidents occur as a result of drowsiness leading to serious injury and death. For this reason, various studies have been done on designing programs that can detect driver fatigue and alert them before a serious error occurs. This prevents them from falling asleep and having an accident. Some of the most common methods use automotive-based methods to design their own system. But these traditional measures were strongly influenced by other factors such as road structure, vehicle type and driver-wheel driveability. Some methods use psychological methods of their system that often provide the most accurate and consistent results in the driver's drowsiness monitoring. However, such techniques are very tedious as the electrodes need to be placed on the head and body. In addition, few studies are available where independent measurements are used as system installation, but such methods can confuse the driver and lead to unintended consequences. In this paper, we have proposed a non-disruptive and real-time program. Our proposed system classifies it as sleep deprivation. The model is fed with a large database of closed eyes and open eyes to produce results. The driver is notified by Buzz every time he is found drowsy. In our model, we use a standard forward-looking smartphone camera and use the information we have gained to produce results on our website. This can be more economical than using additional hardware.

Published: May 2022

The research built on the anthropological approach to text comprehension links philosophical and psycholinguistic perspectives of speech perception. The article analyzes the factors influencing adequate comprehension when perceiving foreign language oral speech, in terms of testees’ approximately similar level of language competence and linguo-psychic characteristics. The object of research is counter-texts defined as those fixed in written form samples of а recipient’s internal speech emerging in the process of perceiving utterances. A counter-text reveals intertextual links between two pictures of the world – the author’s and recipient’s ones, wherein a new formation is a projection of a recipient’s consciousness on the initial text. Using the technique of counter-textual analysis, we were able to ascertain students’ individual strategies of understanding instrumental in adequate comprehending foreign language utterance. These strategies are retelling, translation and assertion, i.e. the ones that fix in recipient’s consciousness sense knots of the utterance for further cognitive processing. It has been established that understanding is marked by a small number of deviations from the author’s idea when, firstly, a recipient has a rather wide cultural scope, which provides points of coincidence of dominant knots of the communicant and recipient, and, secondly, he or she has verbal thinking. The received data also bears evidence to the fact of negative impact of creative thinking mechanisms that can distort the initial sense of the utterance.
A New Theory for Cup Anemometers
Authors: RAMACHANDRAN S
Published: May 2022

The summary of a transient analysis of cup anemometer is presented. It is shown that the steady state calibration curve and the transient characteristics of anemometers can be calculated purely from the theoretical condsideration using the raw data on the inertia, static aerodynamic forces on the cups, minimum wind speed at which the practical anemometer begins to rotate and any particular value of observed speed of rotation in the middle of the range of operation. The calculated characteristics are shown to agree with the published experimental data for the British cup generator anemometer.

Bay of Bengal Monsoon
Authors: DESAI BN
Published: May 2022

Synoptic charts for 00 and 12 GMT for 1 and 2 June 1963 have been examined and it is observed that there was no cyclone at. 110N, Long, 95°E at 00 GMT on 2 June as indicated by Ramage (1963, 1964) in his 500-mb stream lines chart, There could only be a short-lived vortex of small extent near the boundary of the fresh monsoon air; such a vortex was present both at 700 and 500 mb as shown by aircraft reports. It is shown that to use data of dropsoundings for the lst when there was no cyclone, to determine structure of the so-called cyclone in existence on the 2nd at a distance of 500 to 900 km from its centre, is not justified. The causes responsible for absence of inversion generally at 850 mb over the Bay have been discussed. The conditions over the Arabian Sea 200-300 miles west of Western Ghats and over the Bay during the monsoon season are such that models for one cannot be made  applicable for the other, just as the subtropical cyclone model for the Pacific cannot be valid for the Bay when there is no inversion at 850-mb level.
Monsoon squalls over Thumba during the year 1966
Authors: NARAYANAN V
Published: May 2022

In this paper monsoon squall is considered as distinct from thunder squall of low wind speed and is defined as the sudden increase in wind speed to 15kt or more with less than 25° change indirection. The main features of such squalls recorded at Thumba by the electrical anemographs at three different altitudes (58,136 and 200ft)during the monsoon season of 1966 are discussed with reference to their diurnal variation, duration, speed and direction.

 

The monsoon squall data has been analysed and scatter diagrams of mean squall wind profiles upto 200 ft height have been constructed, The mean vertical wind shears in two different layer3 136-58 ft and 200-136 ft under squally weather conditions are described with the help of shear vector diagrams. The mean vertical shear does not exceed 5 kt/30m. Monsoon squall wind veers with height.

 

The wind in the layer 58-200 ft is found to obey the power law-

u/u1 = (z/z1)p

 

under squally weather conditions. The computed values of power index p=0.115 and the atmospheric turbulence parameter n=0.2 are described briefly.

An Iterative Scheme for diagnostic studies: A proposal
Authors: SHUKLA J
Published: May 2022

An interactive scheme is suggested to compute the vertical velocity. The scheme is such that vertical velocity due to diabatic effects may be computed in terms of the known and measurable quantities and hence does not require any parameterization for diabatic heating. The diabatic thermodynamic energy equation and one of the components, involving the diabatic heating, of Balanced Baroclinic Omega Equation form a pair of equations from which the terms involving the diabatic heating is eliminated and an expression for the vertical velocity due to diabatic heating is obtained in terms of the known and observable quantities.

We have examined 40 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) based at the municipal non-profit enterprise "Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Phthisiopulmonology Center of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council" (Center for Pulmonary Diseases). The patients were randomized into two groups: Group I (17) involved patients with BA, Group II included (23) patients suffering from BA with obesity. The goal of the research work was to analyze the manifestations of clinical symptomatology, manageability of BA, state of pulmonary function, level of leptin in relation to mono- or polymorbidity. The research findings show the decrease in asthma manageability level in patients with combined pathology, particularly BA + obesity + gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), significant negative correlation (r=-0.95, p<0.001) between FEV1 and ACQ-5 data in patients suffering from BA with obesity and GERD. The frequency of nocturnal asthma attacks, heartburn, and sleep disorders tended to increase in patients with comorbid conditions. Features of changes in the concentration of leptin depending on the detected pathology is characterized by the following data. The level of leptin in patients with BA with and without obesity is 4.82 times higher as compared to patients with combined pathology (45.28 ± 10.42 ng/ml), and is significantly different (p<0.05) from the indices observed in patients with normal body weight (9.40 ± 1.52 ng/ml).

Objective: By evaluating the relationship between deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in intensive care unit (ICU) non-surgical patients and Caprini venous thromboembolism risk assessment model (Caprini model for short), the predictive value of Caprini model in ICU non-surgical patients was analyzed. Methods: 200 ICU non-surgical inpatients in the first affiliated hospital of Jinan university from April to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. General data of patients and the number of new DVT events were collected, and Caprini model was used for scoring the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Results: There were 31 patients with DVT, accounting for 15.50%, and 169 patients without new DVT (non-DVT). Caprini model score was 9.03±2.70 in patients with DVT, higher than that in patients without DVT (6.80±2.48, P<0.001). 24 (12.00%) non-surgical ICU patients were at high risk of VTE and 171 cases (85.50%) were at very high risk. Only one patient with DVT was at high risk of VTE (3.23%), while the other 30 patients were at very high risk of VTE (96.77%). There were 1 case in low risk of VTE (0.59%), 4 cases in medium risk (2.37%), 23 cases in high risk (13.61%) and 141 cases in very high risk (83.43%) in non-DVT group. There was no significant difference in VTE risk stratification between DVT patients and non-DVT patients (P=0.063). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted by using Caprini model score to predict DVT. The area under the ROC curve was 0.731, and the 95% confidence interval was 0.663-0.791 (P<0.001). The optimal cut-off point was 7, the sensitivity was 74.19%, the specificity was 65.68% and Youden’s index was 0.3897. Conclusion: The incidence of high risk and very high risk of VTE in ICU non-surgical patients was high, and Caprini model could better predict the occurrence of DVT, so it was necessary to strengthen the nursing of ICU non-surgical patients and effectively prevent DVT.

The fracture leads immediately to the impossibility to perform certain movements, followed by tumefaction, sharp pain, haematoma, sometimes a visible deformation and even a wound of the skin, in the case of an open fracture. For any person who has the signs of fracture, that region must be immobilized immediately during first aid and for the final healing they must be taken to the hospital. A fracture can appear in various circumstances: through a direct- and indirect-mechanism or is called “pathological bone fracture”. The degree of fracture we distinguish: incomplete fractures, complete fractures and avulsions. The knowledge of fracture types has therapeutic implications. The very frequently fracture types are next: compression, rupture, bending, extension, torsion. In this paper we use the biophysical modeling of different fracture types. To get hold of the biophysical view is not an easy task, because it applies mathematical apparatus to biological systems, on the other hand as a reward it guides to fascinating results, recognizing theoretically which conformity of rules are valid on principle in the inanimate-living-spiritual triple system from the lowest to the highest organizational level.

In response to the case of a patient with mesenteric panniculitis (MP) and proliferative disease, we reviewed the literature on their possible association and associations with other neoplasms. MP is a non-specific chronic inflammation of the mesenteric fat, with low prevalence and unknown etiology; patients may be asymptomatic or present predominantly gastrointestinal complaints. The disease can be either primary or secondary to other pathologies, including neoplastic ones. Diagnosis is made via computed tomography (CT) and confirmed by biopsy. Currently, there is no established treatment for MP. The literature contains series of variable sample sizes, case reports, reviews of other published studies, and some series after a 5-year follow-up. Papers tend to be relatively consistent when it comes to prevalence data and clinical manifestations. However, there is still controversy regarding the role that secondary MP could play in a paraneoplastic picture. From the diagnostic point of view, the incorporation and use of positron emission tomography (PET), together with CT, has been helpful for the approach and the diagnostic focus in this field. Nevertheless, its usage and the discrimination cut point between inflammatory pathology and tumor pathology (maximum standard uptake value: SUVmax) are not clearly defined in neoplastic cases.

Voice recognition software (VRS) is a form of Artificial intelligence; it’s a phenomenon of converting or transcribing acoustic human speech (i.e. sound waves) into a symbolic form of a human language such as English whereas Dictaphone (DP) is an electronic voice recorder analogous to cell phone that saves and records voice files. The Radiologists believe that Report generation in Radiology is a daunting task, including reading scans, requiring analytical and observational skills, interpretation of findings, dictating cases, proof reading, re analyzing cases and signing off after corrections, especially when the case list is long. In solving this multi-step process, VRS and DP have emerged as handy tech savvy equipments for “automatic typing” of scans, with the involvement of Medical transcriptionist (MT) for timely generation of reports. In the past few decades, there has been considerable transition from manual hand signed reports to electronically generated reports. MT has been a closed companion of Radiologist, even in manually generated reports. There has been a threat to MT being replaced by VRS at tertiary care hospitals, because of its low economic impact. The pros and cons of tool are elaborated in this article with the survey of Radiology Institutes of Pakistan.

The purpose of this study is to examine investors’ perceptions about investing in crypto-currencies. We think that investors trust in crypto-currencies is largely driven by crypto-currency comprehension, trust in government, and transaction speed. This is the first study to examine crypto-currencies from the investor’s perspective. Following that, we discover important antecedents of crypto-currency confidence. Second, we look at the government's role in crypto-currencies. The importance of this study is: first, crypto-currencies have the potential to disrupt the current economic system as the debate is all about impact of decentralization of transactions; thus, further research into how it affects investors trust is essential; and second, access to crypto-currencies. Finally, if Fin-Tech companies or banks want to enter the bitcoin industry may not attract huge advertising costs as well as marketing to soothe clients' concerns about investing in various digital currencies The research sheds light on indecisiveness in the context of marketing aspects adopted by demonstrating investors are aware about the crypto.
