Background: Newborn sepsis is a clinical syndrome characterised by infection-related signs and symptoms in the first month of life, with or without bacteraemia. Sepsis is defined by the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) as a systemic reaction with at least two or more of the following signs and symptoms: thermal instability, bradycardia, apnea, intolerance, worsening of respiratory discomfort, hypoactivity and lethargy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Bal Chikitsalaya, M. B. Government Hospital, Udaipur (Rajasthan). A total of 100 sample sizes were included in between 6-month periods from March 2019 to August 2019. Blood culture reports were compared to haematological scoring parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and other factors. Results: 27% of the 100 cases under investigation had positive blood cultures. There were 65% male. 35% of neonates had very low birth weights and 60% were premature. 74% of cases of septicemia had an early onset, compared to 26% of cases with a late onset. In 37.1% of cases, klebsiella was the most frequent organism identified, followed by E. coli and Coagulase Positive Staphylococcus. It has a higher sensitivity and a lesser specificity. The PPV range of the haematological grading criteria was 47% to 65%. C-reactive protein has extremely high sensitivity (81.5%) and extremely low specificity (9.6%), respectively. Conclusion: The early diagnosis of newborn sepsis can be made with the help of the Haematological Scoring System (HSS), which is a rapid, easy-to-use, readily accessible, bedside, cost-effective diagnostic. As opposed to blood cultures, haematological scoring factors are effective early diagnostic and treatment tools. Since the indicators have excellent sensitivity and specificity, antibiotics can be administered to asymptomatic patients with negative culture results. The accuracy of the sepsis diagnosis is improved.

Pancreatitis is the disease that affects the organ of the pancreas and should be given early attention, since its complications are quite lethal and can involve other organs. This research work provides a compilation of important information that expresses, through its development, the most common complications associated with pancreatitis, especially in its hemorrhagic presentation, as well as the necessary treatments used in this condition. In the course of pancreatitis, the first two to four days of symptoms are the most important because this is the period during which 15% to 25% of patients progress to its severe form. According to clinical and experimental data, this period is characterized by an initial state of hypovolemia. The morbidity of severe acute pancreatitis is known to occur in two stages. The first two weeks are characterized by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which results from the release of inflammatory mediators. Organ failure is common and usually occurs even in the absence of infection. The early mortality rate is 42 to 60%. The second stage begins approximately two weeks after symptom onset and is characterized by sepsis-related complications resulting from infection of pancreatic necrosis. Therefore, there is an association with systemic complications, such as pulmonary failure, renal failure, and cardiovascular failure, known as multiple organ failure syndrome (MOFS).

Pseudoptosis or “bottoming-out” is a common complication following breast reduction. It is secondary to five causal phenomena: improper determination of nipple placement, dissociation of the nipple from the gland, dissociation between different parcels of a reconstituted breast, improper evaluation of the skin to be resected and weakness of the inferior dermal arch. The total posterior pedicle breast reduction technique was described by Richard Moufarrege in 1982. It consists of dissecting the skin away from the breast tissue offering free access to all breast quadrants. This technique is known for its robust blood supply to the nipple areolar complex, the preservation of the nipple areolar complex sensation, and for the conservation of the breastfeeding function. In this article, we also elucidate the reasons why the Moufarrege Total Posterior Pedicle breast reduction technique has a lowest rate of postoperative pseudoptosis.

Published: March 2023

O câncer é um dos problemas de saúde pública mais complexos que o sistema de saúde brasileiro enfrenta, dada a sua magnitude epidemiológica, social e econômica, sendo a segunda principal causa de morte no mundo. O câncer de pulmão, segundo estimativas de 2020, é o terceiro tipo mais comum em homens e o quarto em mulheres no Brasil e no mundo é o primeiro. O tabagismo e a exposição passiva ao tabaco são importantes fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de câncer de pulmão. O diagnóstico tardio, com a doença em estágio avançado, diminui a expectativa de vida do paciente. Diante desse contexto, o presente trabalho objetiva a análise espacial de dados geográficos, das microrregiões assistidas pelo Hospital do Câncer de Muriaé (HCM), visando identificar o grau de estadiamento do câncer do pulmão, utilizando ferramentas de geoprocessamento, disponíveis no Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG), para a análise dos dados obtidos. Adicionalmente, foi realizada uma análise estatística das características demográficas e clínicas dos pacientes com câncer de pulmão. Para tanto, foram analisados os prontuários de pacientes atendidos no HCM, nos anos de 2019 e 2020, com diagnóstico clínico de câncer pulmonar. Para isso, o processo ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) apresentou-se como uma importante ferramenta na carga dos dados para o banco de dados, e na etapa de identificação das coordenadas geográficas (latitude e longitude), a partir de informações de bairro, cidade e estado, contidas na base de dados. No período do estudo foram identificados 351 casos de câncer de pulmão, em 90 cidades assistida pela instituição, sendo 84 municípios do estado de Minas Gerais, com 339 casos, e seis municípios do estado do Rio de Janeiro, com 12 casos. A partir do levantamento dos dados no HCM foi possível, por meio do georreferenciamento e uso de ferramentas de análise e mapeamento espacial, a geração de mapas temáticos apresentando diversas relações entre fatores geográficos e epidemiológicos da doença, configurando como um importante instrumento para apoio a ações de prevenção e controle epidemiológico da instituição de saúde.

Aromatik amino asitler (AAA) şikimat metabolik yolu ile elde edilirler ve protein sentezinden sonra çeşitli ikincil metabolitler olan pigmentler, alkaloidler, hormonlar ve hücre duvarı parçaları gibi öncü maddelerin sentezinde kullanılmaktadırlar. AAA olan L-Trp, L-Phe ve L-Tyr amino asitleri korizmattan şikimat metabolik yolunun sonunda meydana gelmektedirler. Bu amino asitler özellike K1 ve B9 vitaminleri ile bitki savunma sisteminin önemli bir parçası olan salisilik asitin öncü maddeleridirler. AAA’ler hayvan hücrelerinde sentezlenemediğinden bitkisel kaynaklı yiyeceklerden karşılanması gerekmektedir. AAA ve türevlerinin bu önemli fonksiyonlarına rağmen, mikrobiyal çalışmalar dışında AAA metabolik yolu ve bu amino asitlerin bitkilerdeki düzenlenme mekanizması üzerine son derece sınırlı çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada patates (Solanum tuberosum) bitkisinde AAA’lerin sentez mekanizmasında yer alan bazı genlerin hangi genlerle ilişkili olduğu dolayısıyla nasıl düzenlendiği biyoinformatik yaklaşımlarla incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda AAA yolağındaki en önemli gen olan korizmat geni ile patates bitkisinde yer alan yaklaşık 39000 gen arasındaki ilişki ko-expresyon ağı ile belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları şikimat yolağının anlaşılmasına katkı sunmaktadır.

This study conducted a full-blown research on the fairyland consciousness occasionally reported for Ma-ae-yeongs engraved in scenic spots in the basin of Hancheon, presenting the results. As the estuary of Hancheon into the sea, Yongyeon, for instance, had a mixture of many different perceptions. In some cases, they regarded Yongyeon as a sacred place to hold rituals for rain. In others, they had an objective perception of Yongyeon as a scenic beauty with no fairyland consciousness or recognized it for its picturesque scenery that would attract Taoist hermits with miraculous powers to take a walk. In still others, they added stories based on the motif of Tao Yuanming's Land of Peach Blossoms in the Wei-Jin period to Yongyeon, concluding it as an entrance to a paradise and strolling about there. Similar fairyland consciousness was also found in Ma-ae-yeongs of Bangseonmun and Baekrokdam.

“Study of association of serum lipid profile, IL-6, & ADMA levels with subclinical hypothyroidism”
Authors: Sandeep Kumar
Published: March 2023

Background & Objectives: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) represents the mildest form of thyroid hormone deficiency and may be associated with adverse consequences. SCH is defined as an elevated serum thyrotropin (often referred to as thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH) level with normal levels of free thyroxine (FT4) that affects up to 10% of the adult population. The identification of patients with subclinical hypothyroidism having an increased cardiovascular risk is of great importance in the present era. The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.

Methods: 120 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and 120 age and gender matched healthy euthyroid controls in the age group of 18-70 years were included in the study. Body mass index (BMI), lipid profile, and levels of serum biomarkers were estimated in both the groups and further compared using student t-test. Lipid profile was also correlated with the serum ADMA & IL-6 and the results were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

Results: Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism had significantly higher levels of serum TSH, IL-6 and ADMA. Similarly, serum total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly increased and HDL-C was significantly decreased in SCH patients when compared to the same parameters of controls (p<0.001). Significant positive correlations were found among lipid profile and serum IL-6 & ADMA.

Conclusions: The present study concluded that the SCH patients presented increased concentrations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors viz. IL-6, ADMA & lipid profile. The potential benefits of diagnosis and treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism may have possible advantages firstly by preventing the progression to overt hypothyroidism and secondly decrease the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by starting appropriate therapy to improve lipid parameters.
A Systematic Review Of Metallic Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Biological Activities & Applications
Authors: Nerella Sowmya
Published: March 2023

Metallic nanoparticles (MNP) have captivated scientist for over a century and are now profoundly utilized in biomedical sciences and engineering. MNPs interact with key cellular organelles and biomolecules, including DNA, enzymes, ribosomes, and liposomes, which can have an impact on gene expression, oxidative stress, protein and enzyme activation, and cell membrane permeability. It has been shown that the cellular metabolites of living organisms like bacteria, yeast, fungi, and plant cells can convert inorganic metal ions into metal NPs. By utilizing biological agents in green chemistry, metallic nanoparticles are produced that have less adverse effects and are more effective against cancer cells. These nanoparticles can physically infiltrate cancer cells and kill them by activating a variety of biochemical pathways, including apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. This review focuses on metal nanoparticles (copper, gold, and silver) and their usefulness in treating endemic diseases including cancer, hepatitis, and malaria. In the near future, metal NPs may also be a successful and affordable alternative for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections.

É notória a importância das fases recursais em todas as instâncias do Poder, e diferentemente não é na esfera administrativa, quando as decisões nem sempre alcançam os resultados esperados e necessário se faz o questionamento pelo instrumento correto. Nesta senda, contagem do prazo recursal tem especial relevância, ficando o questionamento se o marco inicial temporal deverá se dar a contar da publicação da decisão a ser atacada (conforme legislações institucionais) ou a contar da ciência do defensor da parte prejudicada. Com o advento da Lei Estadual nº 20.656/2021 no âmbito do Estado do Paraná, a qual estabelece normas gerais e procedimentos especiais sobre atos e processos administrativos, a temática ganhou novos contornos, que serão desenvolvidos neste estudo.

Published: March 2023

This thesis presents innovative low-voltage, low-power and low-frequency techniques used to design novel circuit blocks (such as amplifiers, filters and RMS-to-DC converters) suitable for energy and area constrained IoT applications. The thesis is structured as follows: first, basic device and circuit level design techniques for lowvoltage, low-power, low-frequency and low-noise operation are presented, which are latter used to design circuit blocks suitable for IoT applications in power and area restricted environments. The presented circuit blocks are adapted for low-voltage, low-power applications as well as ultra-low-frequency operation, making use of power efficient techniques such as Quasy-Floating Gate (QFG) transistors, adaptive biasing for current efficiency through Flipped Voltage Follower (FVF) or bootstrapping technique to obtain large RC time constants with reduced area, among others. The proposed circuits are experimentally validated and compared to previous relevant publications of similar circuits to prove their competitive performance. The thesis presents simple and power efficient class AB SSF-based filters exploiting the benefits of QFG transistors; a compact two-quadrant RMS-to-DC converter based on a novel Squarer/Divider cell with Electronically-Simulated MOS Translinear Loop (ES-MTL) and FVF-based adaptive biasing achieving high symmetry and dynamic range; finally, a family of ultra-low frequency AC Amplifiers is developed making use of nullor-based network transformation and bootstrapping technique to reduce RC time constant-based high-pass corner frequency. Further exploiting the versatility of nullor based circuit representation, a simplified power-, area- and noise-efficient version of a novel ultra-low frequency AC amplifier topology is developed. The proposed circuits have been fabricated using different standard CMOS technologies (130 nm and 180 nm) and experimental measurement results are provided, as well as theoretical analyses to properly characterize the performance of each proposed circuit and test their full potential and suitability for low-power, low-noise and low-frequency environments.

Introduction

Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) is one of the most common complications of diabetes. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the distribution of superficial temperature and microcirculation in the feet of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

52 patients (the study group) with type 2 diabetes participated in the study, diagnosed by a physician while treated at “Centrum Medyczne” Provincial Specialist Healthcare Centre as part of the Diabetic Foot Syndrome Prevention Programme. The control group included 33 patients without diabetes. Superficial dorsal and plantar temperature of both feet was measured in all participants. The measurements were taken using a ThermoVision FLIR SYSTEM T335.

Results

In both study groups, the temperature of the dorsal side of the foot was higher than the temperature of the plantar side. The observed difference in the control group was clearly larger than in the group of diabetic patients, and amounted to 1.7°C and 1.0°C. In the patients with diabetes the plantar temperature was higher by an average of 2.2°C, and the dorsal temperature was higher by an average of 1.5°C compared to the control group.

Conclusions

Thermal imaging can be used as a supplement to DFS diagnostics. Recommending daily self-monitoring of surface temperature with thermography for diabetic patients can help reduce the risk of neurotrophic changes in the foot.

Almost every business in the world relies in some way on the shipping industry, whether it is to ship goods or natural resources, the shipping industry is undeniably the global industry, However, these very ships that drive the economy also produce close to 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. In this project, we explore the use of machine learning to improve the performance of cargo ships in the ocean by implementing a genetic algorithm AI and a virtual simulation environment. An app was made based on using the training developed by the AI to be able to be deployed on cargo ships as part of their navigation system. Once sufficient data regarding a vessel’s environment was collected, the algorithm could then produce an optimal path for the vessel. Experiments show that the AI system could sufficiently adjust to varying conditions and produce optimal paths for vessels.
Eye-tracking in Association with Phishing Cyber Attacks: a Comprehensive Literature Review
Authors: Hussein Noon
Published: March 2023

As of 2021, it has been reported that around 90% of data breaches occur on ac- count of phishing, while about 83% of organizations experienced phishing attacks [1]. Phishing can be defined as the cybercrime in which a target is contacted through e-mail, telephone or text message by someone impersonating a legitimate institution [2]. Through psychological manipulation, the threat actor attempts to deceive users into providing sensitive information, thereby causing financial and intellectual property losses, reputational damages, and operational activity disruption. In this light, this paper presents a comprehensive review of eyetracking in association with phishing cyberattacks. To determine their impact on phishing detection accuracy, this work reviews 20 empirical studies which measure eye-tracking metrics with respect to different Areas of Interest (AOIs). The described experiments aim to produce simple cognitive user reactions, examine concentration, perception and trust in the system; all in which determine the level of susceptibility to deception and manipulation. Results suggest that longer gaze durations on AOIs, characterized by higher attention control, are strongly correlated with detection accuracy. Eye-tracking behavior also shows that technical background, domain knowledge, experience, training, and risk perception con- tribute to mitigating these attacks. Meanwhile, Time to First Fixation (TTFF), entry time and entry sequence data yielded inconclusive results regarding the impact on susceptibility to phishing attacks. The results aid in designing user-friendly URLs, visual browsing aids, and embedded and automated authentication systems. Most importantly, these findings can be used to establish user awareness through the development of training programs. be used to establish user awareness through the development of training programs.

Published: March 2023

The primary goal of any organization involved in trading business is to maximize profits while keeping costs to a bare minimum. Sales forecasting is an inexpensive way to achieve the aforementioned goal. Sales forecasting frequently leads to improved customer service, lower product returns, lower deadstock, and efficient production planning. Because of short shelf life of food products and importance of product quality, which is of concern to human health, successful sales forecasting systems are critical for the food industry. The ARIMA model is used to forecast sales of a perishable orange drink in this paper. The methodology is applied successfully. ARIMA (0,1,1)(0,1,1)12 was concluded as the appropriate model. Model diagnostics were done; results showed that no model assumption was violated. Fitted values were regressed against observed values. A very strong linear relationship was evident with an R 2 value of over 90% which is very plausible.

Students are learning an increasing amount in classes and have needed to spend a lot more effort and attention to succeed. In this race for higher education, a specific group of underrepresented minorities has been left behind. This group being the neurodivergent population, specifically high-functioning people with ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder) [7]. These students often require more attention due to hypersensitivity, and a shorter attention span than the neurotypical populace. These students have all that's necessary to learn and understand the material, although teachers are often stuck to a faster pace curriculum that does not easily allot so much attention to a singular student. Due to this problem many teachers believe that a efficient way to passively gauge these students attentiveness would significantly benefit their education. This paper develops a server-client system that collects students’ engagement information and reports it to a centralized server to help teachers assist neurodivergent students in order to provide a visual representation of students’ engagement status aiming to promote an equal learning opportunity for neurodivergent students. We applied our application to [Class] and conducted an Evaluation of the approach based on the qualitative data collected from the students.

Over the stretch of years, the Philippines has been facing numerous medical problems since the public outcry against a ‘dengue’ vaccine. As a result, parents refused their children from having an anti-measles vaccine which created a medical outbreak in the country. Product warnings are found to be in their optimal position in safeguarding the life of consumerpatients. This paper anatomizes the lexical features of medicine product warnings in the Philippines which are crucial in the response discourses. A range of linguistic frameworks were applied and significant findings were drawn. Lapses on the use of noun abstractness, synthetic personalization, field continuum, adjectives, and adverbs were identified. Such an investigation brought up the transparency of communicative features of medicine safety texts. In the end, linguistic components create a vital impact on the legal content adequacy of medicine product warnings, unfolding the vitalities of these messages in facilitating informed decisionmaking among consumer-patients.

The Fintech industry is no stranger to transformation and disruption. With the emergence of new technologies such as Big Data and the Metaverse, finance companies are quickly leveraging these technologies to revolutionize the virtual fintech sector. Big data transforms how financial institutions gather, analyze, and utilize data. The sheer amount of data available has opened up countless opportunities for better customer understanding and insight into business operations. Companies can use this data to create predictive models that identify emerging trends in customer behavior, market activity, and other aspects of their business. By utilizing these insights, companies can make smarter decisions about products, services, marketing strategies, and more. The Metaverse is another technology with massive potential for disrupting the Fintech sector. The Metaverse enables businesses to offer virtual goods and services without physical stores or retail outlets. This makes it easier for companies to scale their operations across multiple regions and gives customers more options when choosing a financial service provider. Additionally, using digital currencies like Bitcoin helps reduce transaction costs significantly while increasing security compared to traditional payment methods like credit cards or PayPal.

Introduction: The highest morbimortality of acute myocardium infarction is directly related to the lifestyle adopted by the population. Therefore, the main modifiable risk factors for the development of pathologies are: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, Hypercholesterolemia, smoking, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. Furthermore, they can be effectively controlled through the prevention and monitoring from CNCDs in primary care, by means of HIPERDIA program’s and nursing appointment. Objective: To analyze, through a literature review, the role of nurses in the prevention and monitoring of CNCDs within primary health care. Methodology: This is an integrative review study, which used publications indexed in the electronic database of the regional portal of the VHL (Virtual Health Library), between 2016 and 2021. Results: 18 articles were used, corresponding to the factors of AMI risk, health education, nursing consultation and HIPERDIA. Conclusion: The high incidence and lethality of AMI, resulting from risk factors such as SAH and DM, in addition to lifestyle habits, was evidently portrayed by the selected articles. Furthermore, nurses who work in primary care need to intervene in the highlighted factors and exercise their role as a health educator, highlighting the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle, in order to prevent patients from developing health issues, being referred to other levels of care and, consequently, generating more costs for the Unified Health System (SUS).

Published: March 2023

Sleep bruxism is defined as an involuntary habit characterized by the act of clenching and/or grinding teeth. It can occur in two ways: when the patient is awake (wakefulness bruxism) and when he is sleeping (sleep bruxism). Factors such as stress and anxiety are important components in the development of this habit. Problems such as tooth wear, headache, TMD and sleep disorders are among those that are developed by bruxism. There are several forms of treatment, the most common are: occlusal approaches, behavioral approaches, biofeedback and pharmacological approaches. The aim of this study is to discuss the etiology and treatment of sleep bruxism. We used a systematic literature review in the methodology. A computerized search was performed in the PubMed database, using the following keywords: bruxism, sleep disorders, diagnosis and treatment. A total of 212 articles were found, 42 of which included the topic sleep bruxism, etiology and treatment. The results showed that a large part of the population suffers from bruxism, several randomized studies were carried out to find the correct treatment. Among the forms of treatment, the occlusal splint is the most used today and is considered efficient and safe. It is concluded that the diagnosis must be performed by combining a detailed anamnesis, clinical findings, extra and intraoral examination and, mainly, by electromyography and polysomnography examinations , the latter two being considered the gold standard in the diagnosis. New and long studies on sleep bruxism are still needed, as the etiology is still uncertain and the ideal treatment does not yet exist.

Introduction: The right to health, access and integrality of care are the doctrinal rights of the SUS, guarantee these rights to the user within the Network of Health Care, starting from the one that is the care provider, Primary Health Care, Secondary Care in the field of specialty, has been shown over the years as a great challenge. Objective: To identify pertinent questions, in the different bibliographic findings, that relate the difficulties of users’ access to health care levels. Method: This is a literature review of the literature. Results: A total of 10 articles were found. We recognize that no organization brings together all the resources and skills necessary to solve the health problems of a population in its various life cycles. We see that it is opportune to share some experiences reported in literatures on the integration of services, which we think seem interesting to researchers and managers. Final considerations: We consider that the integration between different points of attention, the insufficiency of formal flows between health care levels and the disarticulation of policies that regulate secondary care are obstacles to the guarantee of integral care, making the care process incomplete and fragmented on the network. Integrality in Care, Integrality and Basic Attention, Ambulatory Specialized Attention, Secondary Care.

The objective of the research work was to analyze labels of industrialized vegetable cheeses, from different brands, to verify if they are within the norms of the current legislation and if they are sources of protein and calcium like traditional cheeses of animal origin. The field research took place in the city of Ribeirão Preto with a quantitative method for information analysis, the brands’ own websites and the “Desrotulando” application. The collected data were analyzed using a simple Excel spreadsheet, using a checklist as a basis for evaluation, created by the requirements of current legislation. The laws used for consultation were: Ministry of Health/National Health Surveillance Agency: RDC 429, of October 8, 2020; RDC 259 of September 20, 2002; Normative Instruction IN 75 of October 8, 2020. Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply: Normative Instruction IN 22 of November 24, 2005. Most of the information described in the labels studied is in accordance with the requirements prescribed in the legislation used as a parameter study, but none of the cheeses are sources of protein and calcium, since most are based on some oilseeds such as cashew nuts, mixed with some carbohydrate source such as starch to give cheese consistency, together with flavorings, suggestion is that companies change the nomenclature format for this type of product, together with the insertion of specific legislation for vegetable cheeses, both for production and for labeling.
