Effect of platelet counts and activator in platelet-rich plasma on the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, split-head comparison: A randomised, double-blind study
Authors: Singh Satyendra K , Singh Shailesh
Published: January 2023

Background

Androgenetic alopecia is a common, chronic, non-scarring alopecia. It is characterised by stepwise miniaturisation of the hair follicles, due to alteration in the hair cycle dynamics, leading to the transformation of terminal hair follicles into a vellus ones. Oral finasteride and topical minoxidil are the only approved drugs for treating this condition. Due to a limited number of effective therapies for androgenetic alopecia, platelet-rich plasma may be an effective alternative treatment.

Aims

To study the effect of activator in platelet-rich plasma and baseline platelet count in platelet-rich plasma on the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.

Methods

A randomised, double-blind split-head comparative study. The sample size was calculated and randomisation was done. Patients with androgenetic alopecia were allocated into two groups; in the first group, autologous activated platelet-rich plasma was injected in the right half of the affected scalp and autologous non-activated platelet-rich plasma was injected in the left half of the affected scalp and vice versa in the second group. Patients were also categorised on the basis of platelet counts in their platelet-rich plasma in three groups; group A (6-8 lakh/mm3), group B (8.1-10 lakh/mm3) and group C (>10 lakh/mm3). Interventions were done monthly for three months and followed up for the next three months. Effects of interventions were assessed by hair density, hair thickness, patient self-assessment and clinical photography.

Results

A total of 80 patients were included in the study. Activated platelet-rich plasma produced significant improvement of hair density after four months and hair thickness at 6 months. An increase in platelet count led to a significant increase in hair density and hair thickness after three and four months respectively and a highly significant increase in both parameters at the end of the study.

Limitations

Long-term follow-up of cases was not done and no measurement of vellus hair count was done.

Conclusion

There is a significant effect of activator and platelet count of the platelet-rich plasma on hair density as well as hair thickness.

In 2015, member states of the United Nations approved the 2030 agenda for sustainable development that was to be achieved through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals aim to build on the previous work done under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The 17 SDGs have 169 targets, which have been designed to take a holistic approach to address the socio, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development. Among that goal 2 of the SDGs aims to end hunger, end all forms of malnutrition, double agricultural productivity, enhance income of small-scale farmers, ensure an environmentally sustainable food production system and enhancement of the genetic diversity of seeds as well as cultivated plants. It is explicit in its aim of tackling malnutrition. Although there have been great strides towards hunger reduction in the past 3 decades due to increase in production during post green revolution. However, malnutrition remains continued and micronutrient deficiencies are stubbornly high along with inter and intra-regional inequalities and poverty persistence. Therefore, the challenges in the way of achieving the SDGs remain very high. What is acknowledged in the SDGs approach is that promoting growth and development in the agricultural sector is crucial for improving food security and nutritional status in South East Asian developing countries. Hence, multi-sectoral factors - a food system approach-viz; access to clean drinking water, sanitation, women's empowerment, behavior change and overall investments in public health are very important that promote the supply and affordability of a nutritious diet for successfully meeting SDG 2. Thus, SDGs give an added emphasis on sustainable food systems with a focus on environmental issues and genetic diversity.
The effect of superposition and entanglement on hybrid quantum machine learning for weather forecasting
Authors: Ogur Besir , Yılmaz Ihsan
Published: January 2023

Recently, proposed algorithms for quantum computing and generated quantum computer technologies continue to evolve. On the other hand, machine learning has become an essential method for solving many problems such as computer vision, natural language processing, prediction and classification. Quantum machine learning is a new field developed by combining the advantages of these two primary methods. As a hybrid approach to quantum and classical computing, variational quantum circuits are a form of machine learning that allows predicting an output value against input variables. In this study, the effects of superposition and entanglement on weather forecasting, were investigated using a variational quantum circuit model when the dataset size is small. The use of the entanglement layer between the variational layers has made significant improvements on the circuit performance. The use of the superposition layer before the data encoding layer resulted in the use of less variational layers.

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão e análise das imagens dos povos indígenas brasileiros presentes em um livro didático de História do sexto ano do ensino fundamental. Nesse sentido, apresenta-se a análise em uma perspectiva crítica e reflexiva. Relaciona-se, ao mesmo tempo, o entendimento de como os povos indígenas vêm sendo trabalhados nesse material didático em pleno século XXI de forma difusa. Mesmo com as políticas afirmativas (Leis 10.639/2003 e 11.645/2008), é primordial levar em consideração o tipo de formação histórica que nossos educandos estão tendo nas aulas de História e refletir sobre as questões atuais da sociedade brasileira, principalmente quando se refere aos povos que contribuíram e contribuem para nossa formação. Ao término do trabalho, compreende-se que, no contexto atual, essa discussão tem sido um desafio para a prática docente destacando o papel do livro didático, da formação docente e o contexto autoritário que vivemos pós-2016.

Authors: Dos Santos Cunha Marleide , Silva Souza Ferrete Anne Alilma
Published: January 2023

Neste estudo, partimos da ideia de que o professor precisa de atualizações teóricas e práticas para exercer sua profissão e atender às exigências próprias do mundo do conhecimento, que é dinâmico e requer mecanismos que caracterizem as ações docentes com perspectivas de despertar, em todos os alunos, o desejo pela aprendizagem. O objetivo é analisar produções científicas sobre formação continuada de docentes da educação inclusiva. Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográfica, de cunho qualitativo, realizada no site da CAPES, nos periódicos com marco temporal de 2010 a 2020, ou seja, nos últimos dez anos. Buscaram-se textos que tivessem como pressuposto a formação continuada de docentes na perspectiva da educação inclusiva. Na análise dos dados, após a seleção e leitura de 16 resumos de artigos escolhidos a partir dos critérios citados, foi necessário separá-los pelo campo de pesquisa. Assim, houve pesquisas desenvolvidas em escolas por meio da aplicação de questionário e as que ocorreram através de entrevista; as que foram efetivadas em grupo de estudo e as concretizadas por meio de cursos de formação continuada. Nos resultados, detectamos que a formação continuada é reconhecida como fundamental para que haja uma prática pedagógica inclusiva compatível com os níveis de exigência e realidades da escola, bem como se evidenciou a necessidade de articulação entre universidade e escola no intuito de promover cursos de atualização para professores que atuam em sala de aula com alunos com deficiência.
INTELECTUAIS DA VIOLA: A AÇÃO DE TIÃO CARREIRO E PARDINHO COMO MEDIADORES CULTURAIS
Authors: Fíngolo Claras Lucas , De Almeida Orlando Evelyn
Published: January 2023

A presente pesquisa se localiza no campo da História da Educação, tem como base teórico-metodológica a História Cultural (CHARTIER, 2002), e mantém diálogo com a História Intelectual e dos Intelectuais. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a ação de mediação cultural de Tião Carreiro e Pardinho, uma dupla da música sertaneja raiz, e de que modo essa ação de intervenção social a partir da cultura possibilita a identificação desses artistas como intelectuais mediadores culturais com base no conceito proposto por Gomes & Hansen (2016). Como referencial metodológico, utilizamos a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin (2016) para analisar as canções da dupla, o que permitiu a identificação de representações e elementos que expressavam o contexto sócio-histórico e a realidade vivida pelo público da música sertaneja. Essas representações que atribuíam sentido às mensagens das músicas possibilitavam a reflexão por parte do público desse gênero musical sobre a realidade socioeconômica na qual estavam inseridos, funcionando como uma forma de educação social ao possibilitar e ajudar na construção de uma consciência da condição enfrentada por eles num contexto em que ocorria o processo do êxodo migratório, do qual o público da música sertaneja participou ativamente. Como resultado, entendemos que essa ação de identificação e expressão da realidade por meio da veiculação de representações permite a categorização da dupla enquanto intelectuais mediadores culturais que possibilitaram uma prática de educação social a partir da cultura.

Published: January 2023

Background: Bedbug infestation has been reported globally, but there are few reports about this parasite of public health importance in Pakistan. This is the first study on bedbug infestation in a healthcare setting in Lahore, Pakistan. Aims: To study bedbug infestation in public sector hospitals in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 86 wards of 2 tertiary care hospitals in Lahore during October and November 2019, using nonprobability sampling technique. Ward supervisors were interviewed using a self-developed structured questionnaire and wards were examined for bedbugs or their markers. Results: Evidence of bedbug infestation was found in 72.1% of the wards. There was no significant difference in infestation rate between the 2 hospitals but there was a significantly lower incidence of infestation in wards that implemented control measures (25.8% vs 74.2%). No control measures were implemented in 53.4% of the wards sampled. Conclusion: Bedbug infestation was rife in the 2 hospitals studied and knowledge about identification and eradication of the pest among ward supervisors was inadequate. Control measures, where applied, were substandard and not evidencebased.

Authors: Alassane Mahamadou , Samake Abdoulaye , Mahamane Amadou , Diallo Ouateni
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for the spread of HIV disease within two different age classes. We define a basic reproduction number R0 that depends on the characteristics of the two age classes. We prove that if R0 less than 1, then the disease is extinct in both age classes. In contrast, we prove that if R0 greater than 1, then the disease is endemic in both age classes.

Published: January 2023

This paper present results of ω-order preserving partial contraction mapping generating a general class of semilinear initial value problems. We consider the use of fractional powers of unbounded linear operators for its application by starting with some results concerning such fractional powers. We assume A to be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup in a Banach space X, 0 ∈ ρ(A) and defined the fractional powers of A for 0 < α ≤ 1. We also show that Aα is a closed linear operator whose domain D(Aα) ⊃ D(A) is dense in X. Finally we established that the operator is bounded, continuous and Holder continuous.

Authors: Canoy, Jr. Sergio , Saromines Chrisley Jade
Published: January 2023

A subset S of V (G), where G is a simple undirected graph, is hop dominating if for each v ∈ V (G) \ S, there exists w ∈ S such that dG(v, w) = 2 and it is hop differentiating if N2 G[u] ∩ S ̸= N2 G[v] ∩ S for any two distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G). A set S ⊆ V (G) is hop differentiating hop dominating if it is both hop differentiating and hop dominating in G. The minimum cardinality of a hop differentiating hop dominating set in G, denoted by γdh(G), is called the hop differentiating hop domination number of G. In this paper, we investigate some properties of this newly defined parameter. In particular, we characterize the hop differentiating hop dominating sets in graphs under some binary operations.

Published: January 2023

“İkincil dönel eksenli taşlama yöntemi (GMASRA)”, son yıllarda düzlem yüzey taşlama işleminde kullanılmaya başlanan yenilikçi bir yöntemdir. Klasik taşlama yönteminin aksine GMASRA yönteminde aynı anda iki farklı eksende taşın dönme hareketi mevcuttur. Birinci dönme hareketi, klasik taşlama yöntemindeki taşın çevresel dönme hareketidir. İkinci dönme hareketi ise yeni eklenen ikinci dönme hareketi olan taşın eksenine dik yönde bir eksen etrafında dönme hareketidir. GMASRA yönteminde, klasik taşlama yöntemine göre, hem yüzey pürüzlülüğünde daha küçük değerler elde edilmekte hem de birbirine yakın yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerleri her yönde elde edilebilmektedir. Bu yöntemde işleme parametrelerinin yüzey pürüzlülüğü üzerine etkisinin ve işlem parametreleri ile ilişkisinin analiz edilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışma da bu amaca yönelik yüzey yanıt yöntemi ile farklı modeller geliştirilmiş ve yüzey pürüzlülüğü üzerine işlem parametrelerinin etkisi analiz edilmiştir. İşlem parametreleri olarak üç farklı taş cinsi (NK36P5V, NK46O5V, NK60N5V), üç farklı talaş derinliği (0,01, 0,02 ve 0,03 mm), üç farklı fener mili devri (80, 160, 240 dev/dak), 2 farklı yanal kayma miktarı (4, 8 mm) seçilmiş ve taşlama işlemi sonucu yüzey pürüzlülükleri ölçülmüştür. Sonuçta, problemin çözümü için oluşturulan altı yüzey yanıt modelin başarı ile kullanılabileceği ve tutarlı sonuçlar üretebileceği görülmüş, yüzey pürüzlülüğü üzerinde en büyük etkinin fener mili devri ve talaş derinliği olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerinde, fener mili devrinin artması ile azalma, talaş derinliğinin artması ile artma gözlenmiştir. Artan yanal kayma miktarlarında bu etkinin yönünün talaş derinliğine doğru evrildiği de ayrıca görülmüştür.

Authors: AYDEMİR Salih Berkan , KUTLU ONAY Funda
Published: January 2023

Various pandemics have been recorded in world history until today. The Covid-19 outbreak, which emerged at the end of 2019, has recently been a hot topic in the literature. In this work, extreme learning algorithms are presented as a comparative study for predicting the positive rate for the countries: India, Turkey, Italy, USA and UK. The features to be used in the learning phase are determined with the F-test feature selection method. For each extreme learning approach, results are obtained for each country with the root mean square error evaluation criteria. Accordingly, the radial basis kernel function produces the best estimation results, while the linear kernel function has the highest RMSE. Accordingly, the lowest RMSE value has been obtained for India as 4.17E-03 with the radial basis kernel function based ELM. Also, since Turkey's data contains too many outliers, it has the highest RMSE value (0.015 - 0.035) in linear kernel method among the countries.

Published: January 2023

Fan settings (wind speed) in the cage must be adjusted to the age and weight of the chickens. Any movement of the wind at a certain speed will have an impact on the difference between the actual temperature read on the thermometer and the effective temperature felt by the chickens. This is because there is a cold temperature effect (wind chill effect) due to air movement. On the 1st floor of the KTM cage, there was an error setting the fan on which caused the wind speed to be higher than necessary, causing a wind chill effect. This case caused the performance of the chickens in the 1st-floor cage not to reach the target. To get the ideal temperature and wind speed in the cage, the effort needed is to adjust the fan to turn on taking into account the wind chill effect. Based on the results of considering the wind chill effect in the cage, the value of feed intake, body weight gain, and body weight at the age of 7-35 days appear to be higher with a low feed conversion value and a higher production index.

Refers to asymmetric elasticity, the study documented a negative and statistically significant linkage between asymmetric shocks of oil price and the measures of stock market development.
An experimental study for the performance assessment of the DNS server architecture on IPv6 network
Authors: Praveen Misra  , Rajeev Yadav
Published: January 2023

In this paper, an experimental investigation is conducted to study the performance of the educational research domain name system (ER-DNS) hierarchical server network which works on internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) only, instead of the publicly available dual stack DNS root servers on the internet. There is a high probability of making the entire internet system unstable if any changes are made. Thus, we have created the experimental testbed, which functions similar to the existing live internet systems. It thus gives more flexibility to experiment and make technical and operational changes, without risking the stability and reliability of the internet system. In this paper, we have setup the entire DNS hierarchy starting from the root to the recursive servers with the top level domain (TLD) and domain authoritative name servers has been setup. This setup enables the queries to flow from the end user recursive servers to the domain authoritative server via the root as well as the TLD servers and provide the result to the end user. Query response in each of these servers were recorded to derive the response time, failure and successes to help in assessing the efficiency, behavior, functionality, stability and reliability of the ER-DNS architecture in IPv6 networks.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Leishmania is a significant health problem in many parts of world. TNF-α is an essential player in infections with leishmania major, contributing to the control of the inflammatory lesion, a lesser degree and parasite killing. Inflammatory molecules (TNF-a, IL-1B and IL-6) were probably responsible for the stronger cellular recruitment and mainly seen at the site of infections. The aim of this study was evaluated of pro inflammatory cytokines and (antioxidant) in four groups of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients compared with together and normal group. These cytokines measured in 39 patients were divided into four groups of: 1) active (acute phase of treatment); 2) non-healing (received treatment for almost two years without recovery);3) healing (recovered upon treatment); and 4) healed (treatment previously received and achieved complete remission). Pro inflammatory cytokines and antioxidant about 3 of these patients from active stage to heal were specifically evaluated also. Material & Methods: IL-1β, TNFα, IL-6 in serum of patients measured by ELISA and antioxidant determined by FRAP method. Results: Antioxidant mostly decreased in groups near to normal group, but increased in non -healing group. The serum level of pro inflammatory cytokines: TNFα, increased in three groups of patients compared to normal group. Highest level of IL-1β belong to non- healing average, whether, others and normal group had zero value of IL-1β. IL-6 had highest level in non- healing, but had not significant difference in other groups. In three of these active patients which leading to health, TNFα, IL6& IL1β strongly decreased. Discussion: This Study suggestion, there is direct correlation between of pro inflammatory cytokines (IL-1B, TNF α, IL-6) and progressive of disease. Another finding shows that antioxidant level had extremely strong correlation with progresses response to drug and lead to healthy of disease

Ayurveda is an ancient science, it helps to promote and preserve the fitness of a healthy individual and also provide the various treatment for the diseases. Environmental pollution is the major problem in the present situation. Pollution is a continuous process in which pollutants gets collected and stored, which later cause harm to the natural environmental constituents. This issue of pollution should be taken very seriously, as it harms the natural elements of earth such as air, water which are responsible for life on earth. The presence of these in undesirable quantity animals including human being and plants could not survive. Environmental pollution consist of mainly air water and soil pollution. Agadtantra (Ayurvedic toxicology) is the 6th branch of Ashtang Ayurved which deals with the poison i.e. its identification, types of poison from mineral, plant and animals as well as artificial poison and its treatment. The concept of environmental pollution had been described in the various text and classical books. In Ayurveda Acharyas had briefly describes the environmental health in Dincharya, Rutucharya and Janpadodhvansa. The review article is a primary approach to find out the solution for upcoming environmental pollution through ancient science.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a better preparation of primary care, hospitalization, and emergency health services. The current investigation of COVID-19 dynamics was carried at the Hospital Fundació Sant Joan de Deu de Martorell (FHSJDM). This research aims to analyse the COVID-19 time series in FHSJDM. Methods: The time series of COVID-19 were analized for 2020-2021. To measure seasonality, the Dicky-Fuller test was obtained. The analysis of the results was performed in R-Studio software. Results: Three peaks of cases are observed for January, April, and July 2021. These peaks of hospital cases are correlated with the new cases in the municipality and also with the new cases in Catalonia. The result of the seasonality test has a p-value >0.05, and thus it is accepted that the series is not seasonal for the registry of hospital cases. Discussion: The study of COVID-19 dynamics is relevant to preparing health services. Each peak observed in the 2021 period affected the health services in the hospital FHSJDM, having an increase for new cases, hospitalized patients and total cases for COVID-19.

Birthweight significantly influences the health and nutrition of a newborn. Low birth weight (LBW) is a global problem in both high and low income countries and it carries significant morbidity and mortality. In Nigeria, Prematurity, has been found to be a major cause of LBW. The burden of managing these patients especially those who are extremely low birth weight(<1000g) is high, due to lack of specialized and equipped newborn units, thus survival rate is still low in the country. This is a case report of an extreme low birth weight (ELBW) preterm female baby, who is a second twin, delivered at a gestational age of 23 weeks +5days, with a birth weight of 600g, and was successfully managed and discharged home after 59 days on admission. This highlights that survival rate of ELBW neonates delivered before the age of viability, can be improved even in low income countries( LICs) or Low middle income countries( LMICs) with adequate newborn care and good nursing care.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a tyrosine kinase (TK) that belongs to the ErbB family and governs important cellular functions like reproduction, survival, motility, and differentiation. Overexpression, intensification, and alteration of EGFR occur in a wide range of human malignancies and are associated with tumor progression and decreased anticancer drug sensitivity. As a result, EGFR has been identified as one of the primary anticancer targets. As cancer is more likely to be poorly understood in traditional medical practices, the extrapolation of an ethnomedicine-led strategy to identifying and prioritizing anticancer medicinal plants has been questioned. Nonetheless, given the challenges of developing innovative anticancer drugs that are effective, safe, inexpensive, and widely available, ethnomedicinal studies play critical roles in identifying relevant medicinal plants that can be further investigated. This study employed pharmacophore modeling, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation to develop an effective agent as an inhibitor for EGFR. The final findings revealed that the selected bioactive compound stabilized the EGFR protein. The optimum orientations of the various inhibitors was Friedelin and it was chosen and subjected, along with the FDA-approved drug, to molecular dynamics modeling to determine the molecular interaction of the medication with various mutational sites in order to deduce the suitable orientation for the inhibitors. The study also attest to the ethnomedicinal claims that ethnomedicinal plants played a huge role in anticancer drug discovery and that their exploration can change the bleak picture cancer paints in our societies today.

Microorganisms that love salt are known as halophiles, and they are found in both the archaeal and eubacterial domains of life. Halophiles do naturally occur in mesmeric saline habitats such as hypersaline lakes, salt pans, salt marshes, saline soils, and solar salterns. The group of microorganisms that live in a salty environment is known as the halophilic microbiome. This group includes bacteria, algae, fungi, viruses, and more. According to how much salt they can tolerate, halophiles are divided into three categories: mild (0.3-0.8 M), moderate (0.8-3.4 M), and extreme (3.4-5.1 M). Seawater already covers the majority of the surface of the Earth and has a salinity of roughly 0.6 M. The most numerous and adaptable microorganisms are therefore those that thrive in such environments. Due to the presence of carotenoids, many halophiles exhibit red-pigmented colonies. This pigment resembles that of tomatoes, red peppers, pink flamingos, and other similar foods. In the production of traditional fermented foods like sauces and pickles, some halophiles play a specific role. Since the majority of their potential is still unknown, halophilic microbes have fewer but more significant biotechnological applications than thermophiles and alkaliphiles. Nevertheless, they could be an important source of many particular biomolecules, including salt-stable enzymes, biopolymers, and pigments. Halophiles may also be crucial for bioprocesses like bioleaching, bioremediation, biotransformation, and biofermentation. Halophiles might have some interesting uses in both medicine and agriculture. This review essay examined the diversity, distribution, and uses of halophiles.
