CORRELATION OF PLATELET TO LYMPHOCYTE RATIO WITH NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH STROKE SCALE FOR SEVERITY PREDICTION IN ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE
Authors: Nijalingappa S. , K Pavanakumar , Gandhi Sahil
Published: May 2022

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and was responsible for an
estimated 6.5 million deaths and 113 million DALYs in 2013. In recent years, the platelet to lymphocyte
ratio (PLR) has emerged as a well-accepted biomarker for the assessment of overall inammatory status. The aim of the present
study was to nd out the role of PLR (Platelet to lymphocyte ratio) in patients of acute ischemic stroke and correlating with
NIHSS for predicting the severity.
Settings and Design: It is a case control study carried out in 70 cases with acute ischemic stroke and 70 age and gender
matched controls. Severity of stroke was determined among cases with the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at
admission and at discharge. Laboratory investigations were done to calculate Platelet-lymphocyte ration at admission and
discharge.
Results: 68% of cases were males and 32% were females with a mean age of 59.03± 10.6 years. The platelet count was
signicantly higher in cases as compared to controls whereas the value of total lymphocyte count was vice-versa. The majority
of cases belonged to NIHSS score 5-15 which is classied as moderate stroke both at the time of admission and at discharge.
There was positive correlation between PLR with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale Severity Score (r=0.68, p<0.001). The
mean PLR increased with increasing NIHSS score.
Conclusions: Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a simple, cost effective and easily obtainable tool in predicting the severity of
stroke.
A STUDY OF COVID-19 ON INDIAN ECONOMY
Authors: Fogaat Mohit , Sharma Sangeetha , Prasad Meena Rajendra
Published: May 2022

Objective: The COVID-19 outbreak has wreaked havoc on India's economy. This article examines how
India has dealt with all of the country's severe economic problems and how it has dealt with them through
various government programmes.
Methods: This research article based on secondary data. Different secondary sources, such as websites, government
publications, journals, magazines, and newspaper articles, are preferred for acquiring information. As a result, the utilisation
of a comprehensive Literature Review approach was used to make the current research signicant.
Results:All economic activity was halted as a result of the shutdown, and individuals lost their employment. Manufacturing and
service industries have completely shut down. In India, during COVID-19 pandemic worker migration had begun. The covid-19
epidemic had a signicant impact on every economic sector (tourist, retail, manufacturing, aviation, infrastructure, stock
markets, and etc.). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in the rst quarter of 2020-21, India's GDP growth rate fell to -24.38
percent. However, the government's scal policies and the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policies aid India's economic
recovery. India attracts foreign direct investment because major corporations have lost faith in China, and all manufacturing
activity has moved to another country. India has made a concerted effort to attract these countries.
Conclusions: In this COVID-19 pandemic, India implemented a strict lockdown, which resulted in higher unemployment, lower
GDP growth, and starving people migrating. India faced a critical scenario during COVID-19 due to a lack of health facilities.
However, new concepts were explored during Covid -19 pandemic such as work from home, digital education, and a growth in
social media marketing.
MRI: A CASE REPORT HIGHLIGHTING NEW POTENTIAL PITFALLS IN MRI SIGNS OF DISPLACED MENISCAL TEARS
Authors: S Vinod , Babu Sathish , M Suji
Published: May 2022

For meniscal injuries, MRI has been proven to be an excellent modality in imaging. Various MRI signs
have been described to detect displaced meniscal injuries, specically the bucket-handle tears. Although
these signs are useful in identifying meniscal injuries, they have also been linked to a number of pitfalls. The presence of a linear
hypointense soft tissue anterior to the ACL, which indicated the ipped bucket-handle rupture of the meniscus, is known as the
double anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sign. Asymmetrically thickened horns of the menisci due to overlaying displaced
meniscal fragments cause disproportional posterior horn and ipped meniscus symptoms. We present a case in which an MRI of
the knee revealed a tear and dislocation of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), vastus medialis complex, medial
collateral ligament (MCL), and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) that matched these symptoms. Internally displaced MPFL and
MCLs have not yet been described as mimics for displaced meniscal fragments, to our knowledge.

patients with indications for the same, the repertoire of which is continuously expanding with availability of smaller devices and
emerging horizon of drive less articial hearts. Borderline situations can be very correctly evaluated using virtual t
technologies. Of around 1000 TAH implants worldwide, less than 5% are pediatric, the volume of which would increase
exponentially if exible implantable pumps with adequate hemodynamics emerge in the eld. Though initial applications
centre on bridge to transplant, emerging technologies would make it feasible as destination therapy. Syncardia 50cc and
evolving versions of Saispandan, based on hybrid bearing less switched reluctance motors which are ultra miniaturized are
exciting prospects. But the future belongs to exible articial organs which would include implantable micro pumps that are
centrifugally levitated with specialized impeller coating and CET charging methods. Total articial hearts would be the gold
standard management in horizon for pediatric biventricular failure. Use of soft materials and exible electronics with tissue
compatible materials are emerging fast to revolutionize the domain of cardiac surgical practice. Future is for exible articial

Published: May 2022

Acute cerebrovascular attack (CVA) is the second cause of death in the world and generates high costs in its treatment and recovery, as well as a great socioeconomic impact, since it is the main cause of longterm disability. Although simple brain computed tomography (CT) is still the image recommended by international guidelines for the initial evaluation and decision-making on the management of patients with suspected stroke, in recent years there have been extraordinary advances in timely diagnosis and early stroke with new tools that range from the standardization of cerebral computed tomography angiography as one of the main studies in the initial approach to the use of brain tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) perfusion techniques, which make it possible to establish the nucleus of the infarct and the potentially salvageable surrounding area, so it is possible to offer therapies that provide the patient with functionality and quality of life in the medium and long term. Taking into account the above, we are encouraged to present this case, of an elderly patient who presented this pathology, where the intestinal ileum was also added. Objective: To describe cerebral infarction in a nonagenarian affected patient. Design: Prospective, observational in a single center. Methodology: This is a systematic review of cerebral infarction in a nonagenarian patient, emphasizing its clinical characteristics and short-term complications. The information and images obtained belong to the medical personnel in charge of the case, whose reinforcements rest on the statistical package Excel, Word and JPG.
Photonic based phase-encoded RF signal generation for advanced radar systems with a 49GHz soliton crystal micro-comb optical source
Authors: Moss David , Mitchell Arnan , Morandotti Roberto , xu xingyuan , tan mengxi , Wu Jiayang
Published: May 2022

We demonstrate photonic RF phase encoding based on an integrated
micro-comb source. By assembling single-cycle Gaussian pulse replicas using a
transversal filtering structure, phase encoded waveforms can be generated by
programming the weights of the wavelength channels. This approach eliminates
the need for RF signal generators for RF carrier generation or arbitrary waveform generators for
phase encoded signal generation. A large number of wavelengths—up to 60—were provided by
the microcomb source, yielding a high pulse compression ratio of 30. Reconfigurable
phase encoding rates ranging from 2 to 6 Gb/s were achieved by
adjusting the length of each phase code. This work demonstrates the significant potentials
of this microcomb-based approach to achieve high-speed RF photonic phase
encoding with low cost and footprint.

Time and Frequency Synchronization for OTFS
Authors: Bayat Mohsen , Farhang Arman
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we propose timing offset (TO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimators for orthogonal time frequency space modulation (OTFS). The proposed estimators do not require any additional training overheads as they deploy the same pilot signal that is used for channel estimation. Hence, no additional training overhead is required for synchronization, thanks to the periodic properties of the pilot signal in the delay-time domain. Our proposed TO estimator finds the start of each OTFS block by searching for a periodic sequence in delay and time dimensions. The CFO is then estimated by finding the mean of the angles of a two-dimensional correlation function at the best timing instant. As a novel aspect of these estimators, the multipath diversity of the channel is exploited to achieve a high estimation accuracy. Finally, we show the efficacy of our proposed synchronization techniques through extensive simulations.

Design of High-Speed Multiway Merge Sorting Networks Using Fast Single-Stage N-Sorters and N-Filters
Authors: Kent Robert , Pattichis Marios
Published: May 2022

In hardware such as FPGAs, Kenneth Batcher’s Odd-Even Merge Sort and Bitonic Merge Sort are the

state-of-the-art methodologies used to quickly sort a list of more than 16 input values. Both sorting networks

feature merges of 2 sorted input lists into a single sorted output list. For both, a full sort of 64 and 512

input values requires 21 and 45 serial stages, respectively. Multiway merge sorting networks described here

require significantly fewer serial stages. For example, 8-way merge networks fully sort 64 and 512 input

values in 9 and 20 serial stages, less than half the number of the respective 2-way networks. When the

multiway merge sorting networks utilize the single-stage N-sorters recently defined by the authors, they are

considerably faster than Batcher’s networks. In the AMD-Xilinx Ultrascale+ xcvu9p FPGA, the two 8-way

merge networks have speedups of 1.85 and 1.74 versus the comparable 2-way networks. A fully pipelined

3-way merge network in this FPGA is capable of fully sorting 500 million lists of 729 unsorted 32-bit

values in one second. In software, multiway merge methods are used to find the median of certain pixel

rectangles in images, since the median can be determined in fewer stages than are required to fully sort the

rectangle. However, the software still requires a series of many 2-sorter operations to find a median. These

multiway merge median methods are dramatically sped up in hardware, where the authors’ new single-stage

N-sorters and N-filters operate in parallel in each stage of the merge process.

Published: May 2022

Emphysematous gastritis is a rare form of infection affecting the gastric wall, characterised by the presence of gas in the wall caused by gas-producing bacteria. This entity was first described by Fraenkel in 1889. Its prognosis is poor with a very high mortality, requiring early diagnosis and treatment. The clinical picture is not specific. Imaging plays an essential role in the diagnosis and the therapeutic management is essentially based on antibiotics in the absence of complications. We report the case of a 29 years old female patient with no specific pathological history who was admitted with a febrile obstruction syndrome.

Diferentes investigadores han buscado establecer una medición precisa de fenómenos no observables como es la cultura organizacional; como condición inicial al cambio y adaptación organizacional ante ambientes dinámicos. Por ello, se plantea como objetivo de esta investigación analizar la cultura organizacional en empresas agropecuarias del sur del lago de Maracaibo, Zulia-Venezuela, de manera que se pueda precisar el tipo de cultura que prevalece en dichas unidades de producción. La investigación posee un enfoque mixto en un diseño de triangulación concurrente, con una concepción de verdad empirista y con un paradigma pragmático. Para sustentar la variable central del estudio fue necesario consultar a autores como Barrientos et al (2021); Cancino y Mellado (2019); Denison (1996); Falcones (2014), entre otros. La muestra fue constituida con 14 unidades productivas agropecuarias del municipio Sucre del estado Zulia-Venezuela, donde se realizaron encuestas a 42 individuos, apoyadas en cuestionarios como instrumentos de recolección de datos, permitiendo la triangulación de datos, procesados a partir de la estadística descriptiva mediante el software SPSS25®. Como resultado, resalta una cultura organizacional estable, haciendo énfasis en el liderazgo y los procesos decisorios en el mantenimiento del status quo de las empresas, e inclinación hacia actividades organizacionales, de las cuales ha dependido su continuidad productiva y adaptación a los factores del entorno. Se concluye que la cultura organizacional de la empresa agropecuaria posee las características distribuidas en la estabilidad, respetan principios de coherencia y confiabilidad, socialización y los códigos éticos.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la participación del Triple Bottom Line (TBL) en las acciones de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) de la Universidad Técnica de Machala. Su contribución es gestionada mediante tres dimensiones, las cuales son económica, social y ambiental, por lo que se busca ampliar beneficios no solamente económicos, sino a nivel ambiental que permita la sostenibilidad de las actividades ejercidas por la institución de educación superior. Se abordó una metodología desde un enfoque cuantitativo, utilizando el método deductivo que permite sintetizar los hechos generales, la técnica utilizada fue la aplicación de encuesta digital efectuada a la comunidad estudiantil de las distintas carreras de la universidad técnica de Machala. Los resultados se obtienen a través de la aplicación de pruebas estadísticas como el Chi- cuadrado 〖(X〗^2) utilizando el programa Stata 16, para medir la asociación de los dos conceptos implicados en el estudio, los mismo que se presentan en tablas de contingencia para su respectivo análisis. Se destaca que los resultados indican que existen ciertas acciones de RSU dadas por parte de la universidad, los cuales no son comprendidos plenamente o asimilados por parte de sus grupos de interés, en tal sentido la IES debería implementar ciertas estrategias que permitan superar esta barrera.

Published: May 2022

Ionóforos são substâncias que foram inicialmente utilizadas como coccidiostáticos na produção de frangos de corte e, posteriormente, passaram a ser adicionados como aditivos na dieta de ruminantes. A intoxicação por ionóforos pode ocorrer em diversas espécies animais, no entanto, a espécie equina é especialmente sensível. O quadro clínico e anatomopatológico relacionado à intoxicação em equinos é caracterizado por sinais clínicos decorrentes de cardiomiopatia e miopatia da musculatura esquelética devido a necrose causada nestes tecidos. Não existe tratamento específico para os quadros de intoxicação por ionóforos, sendo assim, a prevenção deve ser preconizada de modo a evitar exposição dos equinos a alimentos que contenham ionóforos, especialmente nas criações em que bovinos e equinos compartilham do mesmo ambiente de criação. O objetivo deste artigo é abordar os principais aspectos relacionados aos ionóforos, bem como a intoxicação por estas substâncias em equinos.

The increasing demand for coal energy globally has led to the rapid growth of the coal industry in Indonesia. It is projected that coal energy will still dominate in the world until 2050. This development will undoubtedly impact the quality of the environment, one of which is related to air pollution. As one of the distribution chain links, coal port facilities require attention regarding air quality management. This research shows that the source of fugitive pollutants from coal loading and unloading activities at the research location comes from supporting equipment for loading and unloading activities and coal stockpiles. These tools continuously emit non-chimney contaminants, namely coal dust. Non-fugitive pollution is generated by heavy equipment and generators used in activities in the workshop area. Measurement of ambient air quality at the study site indicated that the particulate parameters (TSP, PM10, and Dustfall) needed to be comparable with the standards. In contrast, the gas parameter that was the most significant was the SO2 pollutant. Efforts to control air pollution are using sprinklers and installing windproof nets, which are indicated to be quite effective in reducing dust in the crusher area. Recommendations in controlling air pollution are to automate the sprinkler system for watering and monitoring airflow and plant trees with the ability to absorb SO2 effectively.

Candida krusei merupakan salah satu jenis Candida dengan tingkat patogenitas yang lebih rendah dibandingkan C. albicans. Meskipun demikian spesies ini dapat menyebabkan penurunan respon imun inang karena memiliki struktur polisakarida chitin yang lebih tinggi. Pengobatan infeksi Candida yang disamaratakan mengakibatkan C. krusei menjadi resisten terhadap obat antijamur. Ekstrak etanol batang brotowali (Tinospora crispa L.) mengandung flavonoid dan alkaloid-berberin yang dapat menghambat pertumbuhan jamur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji kemampuan ekstrak etanol batang brotowali dalam menghambat pertumbuhan C. krusei. Pembuatan ekstrak etanol batang brotowali dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode maserasi. Uji antijamur dilakukan dengan teknik difusi kertas cakram (Kirby-Bauer test). Ekstrak etanol batang brotowali mampu menghambat pertumbuhan C. krusei pada konsentrasi 2.500 μg/mL dan 5.000 μg/mL dengan zona hambat sebesar 17,75 mm dan 22,25 mm. Pada konsentrasi 1.250 μg/mL, zona hambat yang terbentuk sebesar 6,75 mm yang termasuk ke dalam kategori respon hambat pertumbuhan yang lemah. Analisis statistik menggunakan One Way Anova menunjukkan nila p < 0,05. Kesimpulannya adalah ekstrak etanol batang brotowali mampu menghambat pertumbuhan C. krusei dengan konsentrasi efektif 2.500 μg/mL.

Vitamin D memiliki peran dalam sistem kekebalan tubuh, terutama sistem imun adaptif dalam toleransi diri dan menghasilkan antibodi pada pasien dengan autoimun. Defisiensi vitamin D merupakan hal yang sering ditemukan pada pasien Lupus Eritematosus Sistemik (LES). Hal ini dapat dikarenakan pantangan terhadap paparan sinar matahari, insufisiensi ginjal, penggunaan obat–obatan yang menurunkan regulasi reseptor vitamin D, dan penggunaan sunscreen. Tujuan penulisan ilmiah ini adalah untuk mengetahui kadar vitamin D pada pasien LES di Indonesia. Data didapatkan dari jurnal penelitian yang diambil melalui Google Scholar, Proquest, Pubmed, dan Science Direct. Hasil pencarian didapatkan 4 artikel yang mengambil lokasi penelitian di Malang, 2 artikel di Jakarta, dan 1 artikel di Yogyakarta. Simpulannya adalah bahwa 63,74% pasien LES di Indonesia memiliki defisiensi kadar vitamin D yang disebabkan oleh kurangnya paparan sinar matahari, warna kulit, penggunaan sunblock, memiliki manifestasi klinis nefritis, penggunaan obat–obatan (kortikosteroid dan anti malaria), Indeks Masa Tubuh (IMT) di atas normal, kurangnya konsumsi makanan yang mengandung vitamin D, dan konsumsi suplemen vitamin D yang tidak adekuat.

Banyak orang harus bangun lebih pagi sebelum matahari terbit karena tuntutan pekerjaan, sekolah, atau agama. Hal ini kemungkinan akan memengaruhi irama sirkadian. Tujuan penelitian mencari perubahan irama sirkadian pada orang yang bangun dini hari melalui perubahan suhu inti tubuh, dan perubahan proses homeostasis.  Metode penelitian analitik pendekatan potong lintang, sampel penelitian 18 mahasiswa FKIK Ukrida angkatan 2016-2019 (21-24 tahun). Dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, 13 subjek bangun jam 4-5 pagi (kelompok A) dan 5 subjek bangun jam 6-7 pagi (kelompok B). Suhu inti tubuh subjek diukur dengan termometer digital di ketiak setiap jam bangun selama 3 hari berturut-turut. Subjek mengisi kuesioner Epsworth Sleepiness Scale versi bahasa Indonesia. Analisis statistik menggunakan Chi-square. Hasil penelitian pada kelompok A suhu tubuh maksimum tercapai pada jam 18.00, kelompok B jam 19.00. Pada kelompok A circadian dip pada pukul 13.00, kelompok B pukul 15.00. Kelompok A 84,6% mengantuk berlebihan, kelompok B hanya 20% (p=0,022). Hasil penelitian sesuai perkiraan bahwa terjadi perubahan irama sirkadian pada orang yang bangun dini. Simpulan terjadi phase advance 1-2 jam irama sirkadian subjek bangun dini. Jadi sinar matahari tidak cukup kuat untuk entrainment pada subjek yang bangun dini. Selain itu subjek yang bangun dini lebih banyak mengalami mengantuk berlebihan sehingga menggambarkan pengaruh proses homeostasis.
Efek Antiinflamasi Makrolid pada Pasien Bronkiektasis
Authors: William
Published: May 2022

Bronkiektasis merupakan penyakit inflamasi kronik di saluran napas berupa dilatasi menetap dari bronkus. Penyebab bronkiektasis adalah idiopatik (> 60%) dan didapat (< 40%). Bronkiektasis memiliki gejala klinis batuk berdahak kronik disertai sesak napas progresif. Kebanyakan pasien bronkiektasis memiliki kejadian eksaserbasi yang sering. Keadaan eksaserbasi yang semakin sering akan menyebabkan penurunan kualitas hidup, memperburuk gejala bronkiektasis, penurunan fungsi paru, dan meningkatkan mortalitas. Perubahan pada mekanisme pertahanan di paru dan proses inflamasi yang terus menerus akan mempermudah infeksi di bronkus. Oleh karena itu, pengobatan bronkiektasis ditujukan untuk memperbaiki sistem pertahanan paru dan mengurangi inflamasi yang terjadi. Makrolid merupakan antibiotik yang diduga memiliki aktivitas sebagai antiinflamasi sehingga dapat digunakan untuk pasien bronkiektasis. Beberapa penelitian randomized controlled trial (RCT) telah membuktikan bahwa penggunaan makrolid jangka panjang dapat mengurangi gejala eksaserbasi, memperbaiki fungsi paru, dan mengurangi produksi sputum 24 jam, tetapi meningkatkan resistensi terhadap kuman patogen penyebab infeksi pada bronkiektasis. Penggunaan makrolid jangka panjang sebaiknya mempertimbangkan keuntungan dan risiko seperti efek samping obat, interaksi obat, dosis obat, lama pengobatan, dan risiko munculnya resistensi.
