Varón de 85 años remitido por primer episodio de insuficiencia cardíaca. Se realiza un ecocardiograma en el que se objetiva hipertrofia concéntrica severa del ventrículo izquierdo, compatible con miocardiopatía infiltrativa. Con esta sospecha, realizamos resonancia magnética (RM) cardíaca, con resultado de probable amiloidosis cardíaca. Posteriormente, una gammagrafía con el radiotrazador 99m Tc-DPD confirmó depósito por transtirretina. Se solicitó test genético, que fue negativo para mutación del gen de la transtirretina, por lo que se diagnosticó al paciente de amiloidosis cardíaca salvaje o senil, y fue derivado a consultas en la Unidad de Insuficiencia Cardíaca, donde permanece clínicamente estable.

La sarcoidosis es una enfermedad multisistémica que afecta a cualquier órgano, raramente al corazón. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el caso de un paciente con muerte súbita por sarcoidosis, lo cual es infrecuente, aunque aproximadamente el 25% de los pacientes tienen granulomas no calcificados en diferentes órganos, pero sólo el 5% tienen enfermedades cardíacas. El caso clínico presenta a un paciente de 43 años con hipertensión arterial severa con tratamiento especializado y con varios ingresos por insuficiencia coronaria aguda. En el último, es trasladado a nuestra sala por infarto en evolución. Encontramos solamente una radiografía de tórax con adenopatías hiliares bilaterales, confirmado por tomografía axial, reportándose además adenopatías mediastínicas. El resto de los exámenes eran normales, incluyendo ultrasonido abdominal. El electrocardiograma mostró hipertrofia ventricular izquierda, isquemia anterior extensa, fibrilación auricular y extrasístoles ventriculares. Presentó parada cardíaca con muerte súbita. La necropsia mostró sarcoidosis pulmonar, ganglionar e infiltración endomiocardíaca. Se ha demostrado que esta enfermedad, cuando afecta el corazón, tiene un pronóstico ominoso por las diferentes alteraciones cardíacas que ocasiona, pero lo más terrible es la muerte súbita, como ocurrió en este caso.

The current investigation has the aim to characterize tropical deciduous forest in “cerro de la Cruz” area at El Salto, Jalisco.Nineteen permanent sample plots were established, each of 500 m². All trees with DBH ≥ 7cm were registered; their species were identified, plus, the diameter at breast height, height and average canopy diameter were measured. Density,dominance, frequency, importance value index, Pretzsch stratification index, Shannon-Wiener index and Simpson index werecalculated. Species richness resulted in 19 species, distributed in 18 genera and 10 botanical families. Density reached 349 Nhaand basal area 4.347m²ha. Diametric class distribution of the inferior classes showed a “J” inverted shape distribution, as aresponse of the forest dynamics to disturbances. Most ecological importance species were Pithecellobium dulce, Burserabipinnata, Heliocarpus terebinthinaceus, Agonandra racemosa and Annona longiflora due to their great abundance and resiliencecapacity. Pretzsch stratification index (A) showed that there is a heterogeneity occurring in the distribution of species by heightlayer (A= 1.023; A= 4.043) reaching only 31.11% of the maximum possible equitability. Diversity indexes indicated a lowdiversity (H ́= 1.067 y ʎ = 0.104) compared to others sites nationwide. It was determined that the conservation status of this forestis a secondary succession, due to factors such as wildfires, livestock, and the high occurrence of shrub and herbaceous species, so itis important to start a line of action focused on restoration and recovery of this ecosystem.

Authors: Lupitha Mariska , Santoso Handri
Published: April 2022

The E-Tilang application system has been widely used to support modern traffic, whereas protocol roads in big cities in Indonesia are already widely used. In principle, the plate number detection tool uses image recognition for detection. Image number plates on vehicles cannot always be read clearly, this is what causes the detection method to be a problem if the image plate number is further processed. The method for processing the plate number image uses deep learning and computer vision methods. For the condition of the image plate number that is not clear, the process of improving the image resolution from low resolution to high resolution is carried out, by applying Generative Adversarial Networks. This method consists of two main parts, namely Generate and Discriminator. Generate serves to generate an image and the Discriminator here is to check the image, can the image plate number be read or not? So that if the image plate number cannot be read, then the process is carried out again to the Generator until it is received by the Discriminator to be read. The process does not end here, the results will be carried out in the next process using Convolutional Neural Networks. Where the process is to detect the plate number image according to the classification of the plate number according to the region. The point is that an unclear image becomes clear by increasing the resolution from low resolution to high resolution so that it is easily read by the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm so that the image is easily recognized by the CNN Algorithm. This becomes important in the CNN algorithm process because it gets the processed dataset. To produce a good model, preprocessing of the dataset is carried out. So that the model can detect the image well in terms of model performance.

The development of the Generative Adversarial Network is currently very fast. First introduced by Ian Goodfellow in 2014, its development has accelerated since 2018. Currently, the need for datasets is sometimes still lacking, while public datasets are sometimes still lacking in number. This study tries to add an image dataset for supervised learning purposes. However, the dataset that will be studied is a unique dataset, not a dataset from the camera. But the image dataset by doing the augmented process by generating from the existing image. By adding a few changes to the augmentation process. So that the image datasets become diverse, not only datasets from camera photos but datasets that are carried out with an augmented process. Camera photos added with painting images will become still images with a newer style. There are many studies on Style transfer to produce images in drawing art, but it is possible to generate images for the needs of image datasets. The resulting force transfer image data set was used as the test data set for the Convolutional Neural Network classification. Classification can also be used to detect specific objects or images. The image dataset resulting from the style transfer is used for the classification of goods transporting vehicles or trucks. Detection trucks are very useful in the transportation system, where currently many trucks are modified to avoid road fees

Published: April 2022

Currently, many roads in Indonesia are damaged. This is due to the presence of large vehicles and large loads that often pass. The more omissions are carried out, the more damaged and severe the road is. The central government and local governments often carry out road repairs, but this problem is often a problem. Damaged roads are indeed many factors, one of which is the road load. The road load is caused by the number of vehicles that carry more than the specified capacity. There are many methods used to monitor roads for road damage. The weighing post is a means used by the government in conducting surveillance. This research is not a proposal to monitor the road, but this is only to create a model for the purpose of detecting heavily or lightly loaded vehicles. This research is to classify using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with pre-trained Resnet50. The model generated from the Convolutional Neural Network training process reaches above 90%. Generate Image deep learning algorithms such as the Generative Adversarial Network currently generate a lot of synthetic images. The testing dataset that will be used is generated from style transfer. The model is tested using a testing dataset from the generated style transfer. Style transfer is a method of generating images by combining image content with image styles. The model is pretty good at around 92% for training and 88% for testing, can it detect image style transfer? The Convolutional Neural Network model is said to be good if it is able to recognize the image correctly, considering that the accuracy of the model is very good. One of the reasons why the training model is good but still makes errors during testing, then the image dataset is overfitting

Authors: Kim Da Ran , Park Sun‐Kyoung , Na Kyung Sun , Park Mi Ra
Published: April 2022

Purpose: To compare the effects of orthokeratology lens (Ortho‐K lens) and topical cyclopentolate on myopia progression in children. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of 36 children who received Ortho‐K lens and 28 who received cyclopentolate (i.e., total of 64 eyes). The following data were recorded: sex, age, age at first intervention, follow‐up duration, and visual acuity and axial length (AL) at the time of first treatment and after 6, 12, and 24 months of treatment. Results: In the Ortho‐K group, the changes of AL significantly decreased by 0.3 ± 0.25 mm at 12 months and 0.52 ± 0.34 mm at 24 months (p for trend < 0.001). In the cyclopentolate group, the changes of AL significantly decreased by 0.36 ± 0.17 mm at 12 months and 0.62 ± 0.29 mm at 24 months (p for trend = 0.022). Compared to the use of cyclopentolate, the use of Ortho‐K lens resulted in smaller changes in AL during follow‐up (p = 0.038). Conclusions: In myopic children, Ortho‐K reduced myopia progression, whereas cyclopentolate significantly less affect myopia progression than Ortho‐K lens.

Authors: Yoon Da Eun , Jun Roo Min , Han Kyung Eun
Published: April 2022

Purpose: This study reports a case of meibomian gland dysfunction associated with bortezomib, which is a treatment of choice for multiple myeloma.Case summary: A 59‐year‐old female patient presented to our hospital with a complaint of dryness that had worsened for 2 months and eye discharges that were difficult to remove even after washing her face. The patient had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma 5 months prior and had undergone four cycles of bortezomib therapy. Slit‐lamp microscopy revealed a number of pouting of the meibomian gland (MG) orifices in both eyes. Meibography revealed that more than one‐third and less than twothirds of the total MG area of both upper lids were lost and more than two‐thirds of the total MG area of both lower lids were lost. No clinically significant improvements were noted at 8 months despite thorough eyelid hygiene therapy, including warm compresses, topical antibiotics, steroids, and artificial tears. However, when the patient revisited our clinic 2 months after completing bortezomib treatment, the subjective symptoms had improved and all of the pouting of MG orifices had disappeared. There was no significant difference in the MG dropout area for either eye compared with the observations from a previous visit during bortezomib treatment.Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware that MG dysfunction may occur or worsen in patients receiving bortezomib treatment and should consider this when establishing a treatment plan for meibomian dysfunction or when educating patients.

Purpose: We report the process of treating persistent corneal epithelial defects due to limbal deficiency in a patient who underwent surgery for ptosis, recurrent pterygium, and senile cataract for 3 weeks.Case summary: A 65‐year‐old male patient underwent cataract surgery 4 months ago and visited this hospital with persistent inflammation of the left cornea that started 2 months ago. The patient underwent blepharoplasty and pterygium surgery at the same time 3 weeks before cataract surgery. At the first visit, severe conjunctival injection and an oval‐shaped corneal epithelial defect with a size of 3 × 5 mm in the center of the cornea were seen. As the result of the eyelid eversion test, fibrotic scar tissue due to the non‐absorbable suture used during the upper eyelid blepharoplasty was observed and surgically removed. The corneal epithelial defect site became smaller, but the atrophy of the corneal stroma was sustained, and the amniotic membrane was tripled and permanent amniotic membrane transplantation was performed. Corneal epithelial defects have improved with postoperative best‐corrected visual acuity of 0.15.Conclusions: Sufficient recovery period between serial multiple surgeries is required to reduce the occurrence of complications like persistent epithelial defects.

Authors: Mazhar Aqsa , Tahir Ahmad Hassan , Tariq Muhammad
Published: April 2022

Mosquitoes are well known for being vectors of many pathogens causing diseases. The widespread use of synthetic insecticides in mosquito control has resulted in the growth of resistance to pesticides and the degradation of the ecosystem. Therefore, plants have become alternative sources of mosquito control in recent years. In the current research five plants viz. eucalyptus, neem, mint, niazbow, ginger and canola were evaluated against Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus mosquitoes. The toxicity of the crude extracts of all the plants against the third stage larvae of Aedes spp. gave significant results. The study showed a very substantial difference in the length of the repellents and the bite safety between the repellents and the control. Canola was less effective as compared to all other test plants. All the essential oils tested offered protection for a minimum period of 33 minutes and may therefore be included in the standard list of repellents of Aedes species. Neem oil repellent had the best repellence against both Aedes mosquito species with defence times of (246±15.78) and (256±14.87) minutes respectively against A. egypti and A. albopictus as well. The defence time against A. aegypti was (14.34±0.00) and (19.24±0.00) minutes for the canola oil used as power against A. aegypti as well as A. albopictus. Ginger oil offered the least defence 35.76±4.99 and 33.76±4.99 minutes against A. aegypti and A. albopictus respectively. These two oils were better than other oil formulations and were statistically significant from each other. It is concluded that these plants can be used as alternatives for the management of mosquitos

Published: April 2022

Spore attachment is the first stage in the life cycle of Pasteuria penetrans. Therefore, the present studies were planned to find out whether an attachment level which can provide better reduction in root-knot disease. There was a significant difference (P0.01) regarding numbers of eggmasses produced by females of Meloidogyne javanica in the treatments. Higher numbers of eggmasses (237) were recorded in the treatment where unencumbered J2s were inoculated after spinning followed by the treatment where J2s were inoculated without spores (225) but this difference was not significant. Both spore attachment techniques revealed their influence on eggmass production as fewer eggmasses were recorded in the treatment where encumbered J2s were inoculated compared to controls. Significantly lesser numbers of eggmasses (123) were recorded where J2s were encumbered by exposing them to a spore suspension in plastic trays than by the centrifuge treatment (173). Root galling differed significantly (P0.01) among treatments showing higher root galling in control treatment (5.2). Lesser root galling was observed where J2s were encumbered in the normal manner by exposing nematodes to spore suspension (3.6) while greater root galling (4.0) was observed in the treatment where J2s were encumbered after centrifugation. Similarly, there was a significant difference (P0.01) among females parasitized by P. penetrans showing a higher level of infectivity (13.8) in the treatment where J2s were encumbered by the normal attachment method as compared to the centrifugation method (11.6).  There was no significant difference (P0.05) in fresh root weight of plants among treatments. There was no significant difference (P0.05) in number of eggs/eggmass produced by females of M. javanica between the treatments.

The present study was conducted in a farmer field of tehsil Kot Addu, district Muzaffargarh to evaluate the efficacy of different insecticides available in the market against sugarcane whitefly (Aleurolobus barodensis Mask) in ratoon US-633 sugarcane variety. There was a total five treatments including a check. Four insecticides including Oshin (Dinotefuron), Movento (Spirotetramate), Pyriproxyfen (Pyriproxyfen) and Matoi (Pyrifluquinazon) were used at the dose of 100 g, 125 ml, 500 ml and 200 g per acre respectively. The randomized complete block design was followed with three replications of each treatment. Insecticides were sprayed when the pest had reached the economic threshold level and data were recorded after three, seven, fourteen, twenty one and twenty seven days after treatment for comparison with pre-treatment pest population data. Results revealed that Matoi (Pyrifluquinazon) was the most effective insecticide against sugarcane whitefly in ratoon US-633 sugarcane variety with highest corrected mortality of 84.4 % followed by the Movento (Spirotetramate) with about 80% corrected mortality. The minimum corrected mortality (64 %) was resulted after spray of Oshin (Dinotefuron). It is concluded that Matoi (Pyrifluquinazon) should be recommended for control of sugarcane whitefly ata  dose of 200 g/acre.

Stripe rust is the most important biotic constraint in wheat production. Deployment of resistant wheat cultivars is the most practical way to decrease yield losses attributed to stripe rust. Usage of wild germplasm of wheat is the best technique to detect new resistant genes for the evolution of new varieties and mainstream of these hold capacity for disease resistance. Traditional procedures of gene identification by using conventional screening through diversified races do not generate accurate data. In conventional breeding, transferring desired traits, for instance, stripe rust resistance, from a donor parent is offered into a genotype of interest, typically high yielding. Identification of the sources of resistance by conventional screening through diversified races and backcross breeding is time-consuming which could be avoided through the usage of DNA markers. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is practiced for the improvement of a variety of traits in wheat around the world through introgression of disease resistance against diseases including stripe rust, which may in any case partially support in providing the anticipated result. MAS has been valuable for the development of quite a lot of significant traits such as resistance against diseases. Marker-assisted backcrossing, forward breeding, and MAS involving doubled haploid technology have been effectively used for this objective. Novel skills based on high throughput genotyping related with new marker systems (e.g., Diversity arrays technology DArT and as Single Nucleotide Polymorphism SNP), and new selection strategies such as (Advanced backcross QTL AB-QTL), mapping-as-you-go, marker-assisted recurrent selection, and genome-wide selection will have to be tried in future for upgrading of compound multigenic traits. The improvement made in all these features of marker-assisted wheat breeding, and the restrictions and future scenarios of this incipient technology have been reviewed in this article.

Published: April 2022

Background: In recent years, the use of mouthwashes containing green tea (GT) extract has been reported to prevent tooth decay. In laboratory studies, GT has been shown to be effective in controlling dental plaque and erosion. The aim of this review study was to evaluate the effectiveness of GT extract in controlling tooth decay and erosion in randomized clinical trials. Methods: By searching related keywords in the Scopus, PubMed, and WOS (Web of Science) databases, as well as searching for related studies in the Google Scholar database randomized clinical trial ( RCT) studies published in English by the end of 2019 were extracted. Then, eligible studies were carefully reviewed and the required data were extracted. Results: A total of 12 eligible studies were included in the study. The inclusion criteria of the study were human RCT studies, English language, and GT intervention. The exclusion criteria of the study were lack of negative (placebo) or positive control group, studies examining the effect of GT derivatives, oral diseases such as periodontal disease, people undergoing orthodontic treatment, use of antibiotics at least two weeks before the study, incomplete methodology, defects in the results, and lack of access to the full text of articles. The number of subjects was 246 in the GT group, 157 in the placebo group, and 132 in the positive control group (sodium fluoride, chlorhexidine, neem extract, and probiotic). Eleven studies used GT mouthwash and one study used toothpaste containing GT extract. In studies with placebo, GT showed a significantly better effect on dental plaque, oral pH, modulation of dental erosion, and reduction of the number salivary S. mutans and lactobacilli colonies. Additionally, GT had a similar and comparable effect to positive control groups in modulating the above-mentioned indices. Conclusion: GT extract can show anti-cariogenic and anti-erosive effects. Larger randomized clinical trials are needed to support our findings.

إِنَّ الغلو في جميع الشرائع السماوية سواء أكان في الاعتقاد أم في العمل أم في الحكم على الناس، فإنه مذموم وقد جاءت  ظاهرة الغلو واضحة وبينة في القران الكريم وقد شدد على ذمها وبخاصة ذم الغلو عند اهل الكتاب من اليهود والنصارى في الاعتقاد، في نفس الوقت أمر الباري عز وجل بالوسطية والاعتدال وعدم التطرف، فضلا عما جاءت به الشريعة الاسلامية من تسامح واخلاق فاضلة، وقد حاولت في هذا البحث (الآيات الواردة في ذم الغلو عند اهل الكتاب/ دراسة موضوعية) التركيز على ظاهرة الغلو لفظاً ومعنىً وبيان الآيات القرآنية الواردة في هذا الموضوع ثم بيان الألفاظ ذات الصلة، ومن ثم محاولة الخروج بأهم النتائج والتوصيات التي تفيد القارئ للوصول إلى الوسطية والاعتدال والابتعاد عن الغلو وأثاره السلبية، حيث أن كثيراً من الأديان تنظر إلى الإسلام على أنه دين التطرف والغلو، وأنه يبتعد عن الوسطية والاعتدال ولكي نبرهن لتلك الأديان والآراء عكس ذلك وان الإسلام دين سماوي جاء ناسخاً لجميع الشرائع السماوية السابقة ونبيه محمد (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) خاتم الأنبياء والرسل جاء بشريعة سمحاء خالية من التطرف والغلو وما تلك الحالات التي تظهر في أوقات متفرقة في الدول الإسلامية لا تدل ولا تبرهن على ان الإسلام دين غلو وتطرف.
مساهمة السكان في تلوث مدينة بغداد

يعرف التلوث بأن إدخال مواد ضارة على البيئة المحيطة في الإنسان ، ويعتبر التلوث أحد المشاكل التي تواجهها معظم الدول وتبذل العديد ن الجهود في محاولة حل هذه المشكلة . في هذا البحث يتم دراسة مشكلة التلوث في العراق وبالتحديد في العاصمة بغداد، ويتم البحث في أثر زيادة عدد السكان على التلوث بنوعيه ، التلوث بالنفايات الصلبة، والتلوث السمعي ( الضوضائي ) ، تتركز مشكلة التلوث بالظهور في المدن المكتظة بالسكان بالأخص في العاصمة كونها الاكثر تعدادا للسكان والنمو السكاني فيها متزايد بصورة كبيرة، وذلك يرجع إلى زيادة عدد الولادات و كثرة الهجرة باتجاه العاصمة ، أيضاً يمكن أن نعزي سبب زيادة التلوث هو إنخفاض الوعي الثقافي لدى السكان بأهمية الحفاظ على البيئة وعدم تلويثها. أما بالنسبة للتلوث السمعي فقد زادت نسبته مع تطور الصناعات السريع وزيادة عدد المصانع وإنشائها بالقرب من المناطق السكنية . من خلال مراجعة الإحصاءات للسنوات التي نفذت الدراسة فيها، حيث وقد تم إستنتاج وجود مجموعة كبيرة ومتنوعة ومختلفة من النفايات الصلبة من حيث النوع والكمية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لوحظ أنه في المناطق التي يتم إنشاء المصانع فيها بصورة متزايدة أن نسبة التلوث الضوضائي مرتفعا. ومن خلال النتائج لوحظ أيضا أن السبب الرئيسي لهذه الزيادة في التلوث هو ارتفاع معدل النمو السكاني لمدينة بغداد بنسبة 12.3%، وهو ما يعزى إلى ارتفاع معدل المواليد، وتحسين الظروف الاقِتصاديّة، وارتفاع الهجرة المكانية بسبب الوضع الأمني.
L’Independence de la femme et le mariage conventionnel dans Candida de George Bernard Shaw
Authors: Ghassan Faeq Hamad
Published: April 2022

La vie des femmes victorienne dépendait largement de leur classe sociale, de leur profession et de leur statut matrimonial. Selon le livre d’Eleonor Gordon, Vies publiques, c’est une association de femmes avec la maison et la famille qui est cruciale pour son image d’ange dans la maison. C’est ce rôle à la maison qui les a éloignées des pratiques corrompues du monde public. Pendant le règne de la reine Victoria, le rôle d’une femme était celui d’une femme au foyer et d’une mère. La persistance de ces rôles et leur acceptation sociale aliénaient les femmes de la société dans laquelle elles vivaient. Sans un moyen de contribuer activement à la société, les femmes se sentaient inadéquates, inférieures et consumées par des sentiments d’impuissance “ à cause d’une négativité terrible, d’un manque de but dans leurs vies, un manque d’environnement pour développer la personnalité. ”[1]. George Bernard Shaw était un dramaturge qui, pendant plus d’un demi-siècle, a été largement vénéré pour l’originalité et la réalité des personnages qu’il a écrits dans ses pièces. “ Ma méthode est de prendre le maximum de peine pour trouver les bonnes choses à dire, et ensuite de le dire avec la plus grande légèreté ”, a déclaré Shaw, libre penseur et défenseur des droits des femmes. Shaw était un membre de la société Fabian- un groupe socialiste de classe moyenne en Angleterre qui croyait en la transformation de la société non par la révolution, mais par l’invasion de la vie intellectuelle et politique du pays. Shaw dans sa pièce Candida parle de l’indépendance des femmes dans la société victorienne. Le personnage principal est Candida, elle est la femme parfaite du révérend James Mavor Morell et elle est responsable de la plupart de ses succès. Un jeune poète du nom de Marchbanks tombe amoureux de Candida et elle doit décider de partir avec lui ou de rester avec son mari. Le thème principal de cette pièce est l’amour et le mariage victoriens et ce dont la femme a vraiment besoin dans sa vie
