Radiofrequency Ablation of Focal Atrial Tachycardia from Coronary Sinus
Authors: Reza Muhammad , Hanafy Dicky A A , Hartanto Yanuar B. , Raharjo Sunu B , Yuniadi Yoga
Published: September 2018

Focal atrial tachycardia (AT) is defined as atrial activation originating from a discrete focus with centrifugal spread. Available information suggests that focal activity can be caused by automaticity, triggered activity, or microreentry. Generally, AT response poorly to medication but can be treated by radiofrequency ablation with high long-term success. Focal AT represents approximately 3% to 17% of the patients referred for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Electrophysiology study is important to correctly diagnose the mechanism of the SVT before RFA is performed. Observation and several pacing maneuver could be done to identify the mechanism of SVT.A 54 year old female came with chief complaint of palpitation. During palpitation her ECG showed narrow complex regular tachycardia with the P-wave that was difficult to ascertain clearly. Electrophysiology study showed VA interval 130 ms, differences between VA interval during tachycardia and VA interval during RV pacing was 55 ms, no advanced in atrial activation, difference between ventricular post pacing interval (PPI) and tachycardia cycle length (TCL) was 130 ms, ventricular pacing during tachycardia results in V-A-A-V response before tachycardia resumes, and showed concentric atrial activation with earliest point at CS 9-10, indicating an AT from coronary sinus origin. AT was terminated during the RFA.Electrophysiology study is important to correctly diagnose AT, especially when P-wave during tachycardia in the surface ECG is uncertain. Several pacing maneuver during electrophysiology study can be very helpful to verify the diagnosis of AT.
Analysis of the Dilemma Involving Statins and Aspirin as Primary Prevention Alternatives in Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Sutanto Henry
Published: September 2018

Cardiovascular disease is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Nowadays, alongside the developments of various medical therapeutic strategies, there is a decreasing trend of cardiovascular mortality. However, this reduction is not adequate and needs to be supported by cardiovascular prevention approaches. Statins and aspirin are two of cardiovascular drugs that are believed to be beneficial in cardiovascular prevention. Their magnificent efficacies in the secondary prevention setting lead them to be used in the primary prevention. However, some safety issues associated with the drugs should be considered. For that reason, based on previous trials and studies, some recommendations regarding the efficacy-safety issues are developed.
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance: A Multi-Parametric Imaging to Guide Management in Chronic Ischemic Heart Failure
Authors: Anggriyani Novi
Published: September 2018

Chronic heart failure is a major public-health problem with a high prevalence, high mortality and complex treatment. A comprehensive analysis is needed to provide optimal therapy to these patients. Non-invasive imaging plays a central part by offering a complete approach in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged as an established advanced multi-parametric imaging modality for the functional and anatomical assessment of cardiovascular disease. This review describes the practical aspects of CMR imaging, and then discusses the role of CMR in the diagnosis and management of chronic IHD, its infarct related complications, such as secondary mitral regurgitation, left ventricular (LV) thrombus, and ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening emergency that occurs frequently with acutemyocardial infarction (AMI) and the mortality remains over 50% in most studies. Despitesuccessful revascularization, cardiovascular failure leading to multiple organ failure mayoccur. Therapy with vasoactive agents should be initiated to restore adequate arterialpressure and organ perfusion in patients with shock. Recent analysis suggests that systemicinflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is an important component of the hemodynamicinstability in cardiogenic shock. Inflammation through the nitric oxide (NO) pathway leadingto decrease in vascular resistance and these patients may necessitate supplementalvasopressor therapy. A subanalysis of a prospective randomized trial suggested that norepinephrine(NE) may be preferred over dopamine in patients with cardiogenic shock,while dobutamine is the inotrope of choice. We present a case of a shock cardiogenicand a review of a therapeutic scheme for the pharmacological treatment of patients incardiogenic shock.

Acute Pericarditis in Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report
Authors: Ratri Anudya Kartika , Alsagaff Mochamad Yusuf , Asmarawati Tri Pudy
Published: September 2018

Acute pericarditis is a common disorder caused by inflammation of the pericardium and can occur as an isolated entity or as a manifestation of an underlying systemic disease. The diagnosis of acute pericarditis is established when a patient has at least two of the following symptoms or signs: chest pain consistent with pericarditis, pericardial friction rub, typical ECG changes, or a pericardial effusion of more than trivial size. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune systemic disorder with unknown etio-pathogenesis. Upon the susceptible genetic, hormonal and abnormal immunologic background, the environmental factors may play role as trigger to permit disease development. Cardiovascular complications occur in more than half of the patients with SLE. Pericarditis is the most studied cardiovascular manifestation, although often not evident clinically, and it is included in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for SLE. We report a clinical case of initially unremarkably findings which progressed to SLE complicated by full-blown acute pericarditis. A brief review of acute pericarditis, including etiology, clinical presentation, ECG criteria, echocardiographic manifestation, and treatment is presented.

Микробиологические показатели почвы постагрогенного биогеоценоза в тундровой зоне
Authors: Ковалева В. А. , Денева С. В. , Панюков А. Н.
Published: September 2018

Постагрогенная экосистема, представленная в долине реки Воркуты (подзона южных тундр),при прекращении посева однолетних культур трансформируется через стадию залежи в многолетнее разнотравно-злаковое сообщество, под пологом которого происходит направленное преобразование почвы. Показано, что в почвах постагрогенной экосистемы сохраняются основные закономерности профильного распределения микроорганизмов: для верхних горизонтов почвы характерна высокая численность бактерий и микромицетов с абсолютным доминированием в структуре микробной биомассы мицелиальных грибов. На их долю приходится около 80% общей микробной биомассы. В аллювиальной постагрогенной почве выявлено относительно невысокое видовое разнообразие микромицетов при доминировании грибов рода Penicillium. По обилию и частоте встречаемости ведущие позиции занимают виды рода Cladosporium и стерильные формы мицелия. Преобладание в верхних горизонтах почвыживых клеток бактерий (85-86% от общего числа клеток) свидетельствует о высокой активности бактериального компонента микробоценоза в почве постагрогенной экосистемы, сформировавшейся в долинном ландшафте тундровой зоны на месте бывшего пахотного угодья.

Simbirskiasaurus and Pervushovisaurus reassessed: implications for the taxonomy and cranial osteology of Cretaceous platypterygiine ichthyosaurs
Authors: Fischer Valentin , Arkhangelsky Maxim S. , Naish Darren , Stenshin Ilya , Uspiensky Gleb , Godefroit Pascal
Published: September 2018

The ichthyosaur fossil record is interspersed by several hiatuses, notably during the Cretaceous. This hampers our understanding of the evolution and extinction of this group of marine reptiles during the last 50 million years of its history. Several Cretaceous ichthyosaur taxa named in the past have subsequently been dismissed and re- ferred to the highly inclusive taxon Platypterygius, a trend that has created the impression of low Cretaceous ichthyosaur diversity. Here, we describe the cranial osteology, reassess the stratigraphic age, and evaluate the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of two Cretaceous ichthyosaurs from western Russia: Simbirskiasaurus birjukovi from the early Barremian and Pervushovisaurus bannovkensis from the middle Cenomanian, both for- merly regarded as nomina dubia, and allocated to Platypterygius sp. and Platypterygius campylodon, respectively. We show that Simbirskiasaurus birjukovi and Pervushovisaurus bannovkensis are valid platypterygiine ophthalmosaurids, notably characterized by a peculiar narial aperture. The cranial anatomy and phylogenetic relationships of these taxa illuminate the evolution of narial aperture anatomy in Cretaceous ichthyosaurs, clarify the phylogenetic re- lationships among platypterygiines, and provide further arguments for a thorough revision of Platypterygius.
Do Others Understand Us? Fighting Game Community Member Perceptions of Others’ Views of the FGC
Authors: Steltenpohl Crystal Nicole , Reed Jordan , Keys Christopher
Published: September 2018

Our perceptions of how well others understand us and our communities can affect how we see ourselves, as well as how we perceive and interact with others. Community psychologists may be interested in examining community meta-stereotypes, or how community members believe outsiders see them. The current mixed-methods study asked fighting game community (FGC) members about their perceptions of outsiders’ understanding of the FGC. We collected data from 496 FGC members, who provided descriptions of others’ perceptions of the FGC, reasons these perceptions exist, and their reactions to these perceptions. The data supported our hypotheses that FGC members feel misunderstood by non-members; gaming affiliation and media affiliation each had significant effects on FGC members’ ratings of others’ understanding. Non-gaming media were perceived as exhibiting especially high levels of misunderstanding. Respondents’ negative comments focused on non-gaming media’s overreliance on outdated stereotypes and lack of research into the community. Recommendations for community psychologists, researchers, FGC members, and media outlets are included, which may allow various stakeholders to explore key issues and sources of friction. Finally, future research directions are discussed. Steltenpohl, C.N., Reed, J., & Keys, C.B. (2018). Do others understand us? Fighting game community member perceptions of others’ views of the FGC.

This article aims to find out the optimization of 21st-century life skill dimension based on unified sports soccer program on physical education of intellectual disability. The 21st-century education dimension includes knowledge, skill, and character integrated into life skill in everyday life. Today the concept of education for all is included for intellectual disability. Children with intellectual disability, characteristic physiological and psychological characteristics are characterized by limited intelligence, social and other mental functions. In this regard, it is necessary to have special handling programs to solve life skill problems especially in physical education for intellectual disability. Inappropriate programs will have a more complex impact on intellectual disability life skill. Life skill formation program needs to be given in the form of a sports game, one of them is a unified sports soccer program. Unified programs are characterized by intellectual disability and non-intellectual disability activities as partners in teams, with intellectual disability child-specific tasks as goal scorers and non-intellectual disability feeders. This program provides self-exploration for intellectual disability children to boost confidence after scoring goals, and for partners to generate trust in friends (intellectual disability). Based on research experts note that unified sports soccer programs have a positive impact on behavior, friendship activity, adjective, inclusive of social factor, adaptive program, and individual development on intellectual disability. Therefore, the formation of life skill based on unified sports soccer program is suitable for use on intellectual disability as the implementation of physical education in the 21st century.

Corn silage is one of the most conserved feed used in animal production during drought. The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of corn silage with different additives. The design was randomized, in a 3x3 factorial scheme (three values of the addition of wet corn gluten feed and two additives + one without additive), with three replications, totaling 27 experimental units. We used analysis of variance with 5% significance and Scott-Knott's test for the data obtained. The values of total digestible nutrients and dry matter increased proportionally to the co-product inclusions in the silages with additives. The crude protein and neutral detergent fiber presented the same behavior, while the values of acid detergent fiber were reduced in the silages with 30% of the co-product. Silages treated with benzoate showed higher ash content. Lower values for ethereal extract content were found in the silages without inclusion of the co-product. The use of 15 and 30% of wet corn gluten feed had no effect on the chemical composition of the silage.

Autoimmune skin diseases are those in which proper antibodies are directed against some component of the skin. The antibodies of pemphigus complex are directed against proteins responsible for the cellular epidermis adhesion, forming pustules. Pemphigus complex is classified as pemphigus erythematosus, panepidermal, foliaceous, paraneoplastic, vulgar and vegetative, of which pemphigus foliaceus has been more frequently observed in the clinical routine and the main alteration observed is presence of vesicles, pustules and crusts bilaterally found in dorsal, abdominal ventral, axilla and limbs. The diagnosis of this disease is based on historic, anamnesis and complementary exams, such as skin cytology and histopathologic. The treatment is lenghty and basically consists in suppressing patient's immune response. The main drug used is Prednisolone and prognosis is reserved, due to the inevitable complications of prolonged use of corticosteroids. The aim of this article was to report a case of Pemphigus Foliaceus in dog, male, undefined breed treated at the Veterinary Hospital of UNIME - Lauro de Freitas, Bahia. The patient's rapid response to treatment with corticosteroids was shown to be effective for the remission of clinical signs.

Published: September 2018

The wide implementation of different regional anesthesia techniques is also actual in pediatric anesthesiology. Using modern methods of regional anesthesia (RA) and modern local anesthetics is a new level in development of pediatric anesthesiology. This article is about advantages of regional pediatric anesthesia in intra- and post-surgery pain management and analgesia. We analyse the techniques of spinal and epidural anesthesia, as well as their varieties such as unipolar spinal block and caudal anesthesia, compare their advantages and disadvantages. Some more techniques such as paravertebral block, TAP-block are considered as an alternative to epidural anesthesia. Methods and possibilities of ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric and TAP-blocks are also mentioned here. The use of the above-mentioned methods allows to reduce the use of narcotic analgesics and hypnotics and, as a consequence, reduces their systemic effects on the child’s body. These methods are safer for use, since they allow you to plan a safe anesthetic for each child and minimize complications.

W ostatnich dziesięcioleciach podmiejskie obszary wiejskie zmieniają swój charakter, dotyczy to głównie ich funkcji rolniczej, którą zastępuje funkcja mieszkaniowa. Czynniki społeczne, ekonomiczne  i przestrzenne oddziałują na transformację tych terenów. W istotny sposób na obszary wiejskie wpływają migracje ludności z miasta na obszary wiejskie gmin podmiejskich. Prezentowany artykuł ma na celu wskazanie problemu, który dotyka większość gmin podmiejskich w Polsce: przyrost ludności pociąga za sobą zmiany w zagospodarowaniu przestrzeni. Polityka przestrzenna stosowana przez władze samorządowe stara się sprostać napływowi potencjalnych mieszkańców. Gminy podmiejskie, jeśli mogą (posiadają tereny atrakcyjne do zamieszkania), przekształcają przestrzeń dotychczas użytkowaną jako rolnicza na tereny z przeznaczeniem pod zabudowę mieszkaniową za pomocą miejscowych planów zagospodarowaniu terenu oraz decyzji o warunkach zabudowy. Do badań wytypowano dwie gminy podmiejskie – Dywity i Stawigudę. Analiza dotyczy instrumentów planistycznych w zakresie zabudowy jednorodzinnej i wielorodzinnej: studium uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania terenu, miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego oraz decyzji o warunkach zabudowy i zagospodarowaniu terenu.

Natural rubber (NR) is currently sourced from a single species Hevea brasiliensis, which is primarily grown in Southeast Asia and Africa. The Taraxacum kok-saghyz (L.E. Rodin) (TK) plant, which grows in temperate climates and has NR in its roots, has been identified as an additional source for NR in the future. A major challenge to TK becoming a crop is direct seeding. This paper presents research on determining strategies for improving establishment of TK through direct seeding. Field trials were conducted in 2014 and 2015 in Ohio on a Wooster silt loam soil (2.4–2.9% OM) using “wild” TK seed. The study evaluated the impacts of different planting dates (April and May), planter types (broadcasting raw seed and drilling pelleted seed), companion crops, and compost mulch strips on plant stands (i.e., visible TK plant/TK seed drop). Results indicated that drilling of pelleted seed to a depth of 0.6 cm into a thin layer (<1.27 cm) of compost mulch after soil temperatures reach 16 °C (mid-May in Northern Ohio) would give the highest stand by the fall harvest season. These studies provide insight into direct seeding of TK and a baseline to use for evaluating future generations of TK.

Published: September 2018

Acceleration sensors are frequently applied to collect vibration signals for bearing fault diagnosis. To fully use these vibration signals of multi-sensors, this paper proposes a new approach to fuse multi-sensor information for bearing fault diagnosis by using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), correlation coefficient analysis, and support vector machine (SVM). First, EEMD is applied to decompose the vibration signal into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and a correlation coefficient ratio factor (CCRF) is defined to select sensitive IMFs to reconstruct new vibration signals for further feature fusion analysis. Second, an original feature space is constructed from the reconstructed signal. Afterwards, weights are assigned by correlation coefficients among the vibration signals of the considered multi-sensors, and the so-called fused features are extracted by the obtained weights and original feature space. Finally, a trained SVM is employed as the classifier for bearing fault diagnosis. The diagnosis results of the original vibration signals, the first IMF, the proposed reconstruction signal, and the proposed method are 73.33%, 74.17%, 95.83% and 100%, respectively. Therefore, the experiments show that the proposed method has the highest diagnostic accuracy, and it can be regarded as a new way to improve diagnosis results for bearings.
Numerical Investigations on Melting Behavior of Phase Change Material in a Rectangular Cavity at Different Inclination Angles
Authors: Wang Yong , Dai Jingmin , An Dongyang
Published: September 2018

This paper investigates the melting process of phase change material in a rectangular cavity at different inclination angles. Paraffin is used as a phase change material in this study. One side of the cavity is heated while the other sides are considered to be adiabatic. The investigated angles of inclination include 0° (bottom horizontal heating), 30°, 60°, 90° (vertical heating), 120°, 150° and 180° (top horizontal heating). Shapes of the solid liquid interface and temperature variations during the melting process were discussed for all the inclination angles. The results reveal that the inclination angles have a significant impact on the melting behavior of paraffin. As the angle increases from 0° to 180°, the complete melting time increases non-linearly.

Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the most common mechanism responsible for a majority of sudden coronary deaths. The precursor lesion of plaque rupture is thought to be a thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), or “vulnerable plaque”. Virtual Histology-Intravascular Ultrasound (VH-IVUS) images are clinically available for visualising colour-coded coronary artery tissue. However, it has limitations in terms of providing clinically relevant information for identifying vulnerable plaque. The aim of this research is to improve the identification of TCFA using VH-IVUS images. To more accurately segment VH-IVUS images, a semi-supervised model is developed by means of hybrid K-means with Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) and a minimum Euclidean distance algorithm (KMPSO-mED). Another novelty of the proposed method is fusion of different geometric and informative texture features to capture the varying heterogeneity of plaque components and compute a discriminative index for TCFA plaque, while the existing research on TCFA detection has only focused on the geometric features. Three commonly used statistical texture features are extracted from VH-IVUS images: Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), and Modified Run Length (MRL). Geometric and texture features are concatenated in order to generate complex descriptors. Finally, Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN), kNN (K-Nearest Neighbour), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers are applied to select the best classifier for classifying plaque into TCFA and Non-TCFA. The present study proposes a fast and accurate computer-aided method for plaque type classification. The proposed method is applied to 588 VH-IVUS images obtained from 10 patients. The results prove the superiority of the proposed method, with accuracy rates of 98.61% for TCFA plaque.

Published: September 2018

Real-driving emissions (RDE) testing with portable emissions measurement systems (PEMS) during the type approval and in-service conformity of light-duty vehicles was recently introduced in the European Union legislation. In this paper, three PEMS were compared with laboratory analyzers connected to the tailpipe and the dilution tunnel. The tests were conducted with two Euro 6 vehicles (one gasoline and one diesel) performing the World harmonized Light vehicles Test Cycle (WLTC) and a pre-recorded RDE cycle on a chassis dynamometer. The results showed that the differences of the PEMS gas analyzers compared to the laboratory references were typically within 2% for CO2 and 5% for NOx. The CO2 and NOx mass emissions were within 10% and 15%, respectively, with only a few exceptions. The exhaust flow rate measurements were within 10% at low speeds (urban conditions), and 5% at higher speeds. These results confirm the legislated permitted tolerances and the 2017 PEMS uncertainty estimates.

Published: September 2018

Semi-empirical transition probabilities for magnetic dipole (M1) and electric quadrupole (E2) emission lines have been derived from parametric studies of experimental energy levels in Tm3+ (Tm IV), Yb4+ (Yb V), and Er3+ (Er IV), using Cowan codes. Results are compared with those existing from ab initio calculations or from more sophisticated semi-empirical calculations. Satisfactory agreements show that simple parametric calculations can provide good predictions on line intensities, provided that experimental levels are available, allowing reliable fits of energy parameters.
Two Novel Information Entropy Indices for Analysis of the Eddy Current Distribution
Authors: Chen Guolong
Published: September 2018

The Koch curve exciting coil eddy current sensor is a kind of novel flexible planar eddy current probe. In this study, an intersection angle spectrum entropy index and a radial direction energy spectrum entropy were proposed to evaluate the eddy current distribution. Eddy current distributions induced by one turn of a circular coil and one turn of a second order Koch curve coil feed with different exciting frequency alternative currents and at different lift-off distances, were simulated and the eddy current distributions varying with lift-off distance in different exciting frequencies were compared by the two proposed indices. With the increase of the lift-off distance or the decrease of exciting frequency, the similarity between the shape of the Koch curve and the eddy current distribution became weakened and the degree of the concentration of the eddy current distribution in the specimen under the exciting coil was loosened.

Published: September 2018

The winding is the core component of a transformer, and the technology used to diagnose its current state directly affects the operation and maintenance of the transformer. The mechanical vibration characteristics of a dry-type transformer winding are studied in this paper. A short-circuit test was performed on an SCB10-1000/10 dry-type transformer, and the vibration signal at the surface was measured. Based on actual experimental conditions, a vibration-simulation model of the transformer was established using COMSOL Multiphysics software. A multiphysics coupling simulation of the circuit, magnetic field, and solid mechanics of the transformer was performed on this model. The simulation results were compared with measured data to verify the validity of the simulation model. The simulation model for a transformer operating under normal conditions was then used to develop simulation models of transformer-winding looseness, winding deformation, and winding-insulation failure, and the winding fault vibration characteristics were analyzed. The results provide a basis for detecting and analyzing the mechanical state of transformer windings.

Published: September 2018

Electrical treeing (ET) can irreversibly deteriorate the insulation of polymeric power cables leading to a complete failure. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the effects of unipolar and polarity reversing DC voltages on electrical tree (ET) and partial discharge (PD) behavior within high voltage direct current (HVDC) cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation. A double needle configuration was adopted to produce non-uniform electric fields within the insulation samples, potentially leading to electrical trees. The development of trees was monitored through an optical method and the associated partial discharge signals were measured through an electrical detection technique, simultaneously. The analysis of the results shows reasonable relation between the formation of ETs and the type of the applied voltages. The polarity reversing attribute of the test voltages has a pronounced effect on formation and growth of electrical trees. This implicates an interaction between the space charges that accumulate within polymeric materials and the operational polarity reversing electric fields, which causes insulation degradation. Therefore, study of influencing HVDC operational parameters on insulation degradations can contribute to improvements in cable design and advancement in insulation diagnostic strategies applicable in HVDC systems leading to more effective asset management.
