Published: June 2022

The aim: We have aimed to develop method of risk assessment in patients with acute STEMI using blood cells count useful in everyday clinical practice.
Materials and methods: 317 STEMI patients admitted to ICCU starting at 01/2014 to 06/2020 were included in this study. Data were evaluated partially retrospectively (n=214), 1st group) and prospectively, applying new risk-assessment tool in 103 patients 2nd group). Study groups did not differ in terms of all clinical characteristics.
Results: To evaluate criteria of severity of in-hospital complication we have created in-hospital complication index (HCI), composed according to number of adverse events per patient. Based on correlation analyses we have composed complex WBC-platelets (WBC-PLT) index = ((GRA – MON) / LYM) · 10 + PDWc + P-LCR). In the 1st study group WBC-PLT index was associated with in-hospital complications’ index and correlated with neutrophil-leukocytes ratio (NLR) (p<0,001 and p<0,0005 respectively). WBC-PLT index > 137 appeared to be mildly associated with increased risk of adverse in-hospital outcomes (with specificity of 78 % and low sensitivity of 64 %, AUC- 0,72). Further prospective study of WBC-PLT index measured on the first STEMI-day (group 2) revealed that this parameter was more informative regarding association with adverse in-hospital events whereas NLR had low accuracy in risk assessment.
Conclusions: WBC-PLT index assessed on the first STEMI day may be used as a tool for detection of patients at risk of adverse in-hospital events in the every-day clinical practice.

The aim: Study the effect of antibiotics of different groups on the condition of the colon microflora in infants with acute respiratory pathology
Materials and methods: 140 infants with acute respiratory pathology were examined. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination, assessment of the functional state of all organs and systems, chest x ray, clinical signs of the colon microbiocenosis violation, analysis of bacteriological examination and immunological studies of local colon immunity (immunoglobulin concentration (sIgA, IgA, IgG, IgM) in coprofiltrates) were done.
Results: The negative effect of antibiotics of different pharmacological groups on the colon microflora state in infants with acute respiratory diseases has been established. The indigenous microflora of the colon is most inhibited by drugs from the group of 3rd generation cephalosporins, aminoglycosides and their combination. While cephalosporins 1-2nd generations, penicillins and macrolides to a lesser extent affect the state of the microbiocenosis of the colon. The use of two courses of antibacterial therapy to a greater extent disrupts the microbiocenosis of the colon in the examined children, compared with one course of therapy. In commune acquired pneumonia and acute complicated bronchiolitis in infants on the background of antibiotic therapy there is a probable decrease in secretory immunoglobulin in coprofiltrate (sIgA), compared with healthy children (p <0.05).
Conclusions: The analysis of the obtained results showed that antibiotic therapy negatively affects not only the condition of the colon microflora in the examined children, but also suppresses humoral factors of local immunity of the colonic mucosa.

Insuffisance musculaire et faiblesse acquise en réanimation
Authors: LEVY Jonathan , Lansaman Thibaud , Paquereau Julie , Salga Marjorie
Published: June 2022

La faiblesse acquise en réanimation est une conséquence bien décrite tant de la pathologie critique que de la prise en charge de réanimation. Dans cette revue narrative nous abordons les aspects musculaires pouvant être à l’origine d’une parésie chez les patients de soins critiques. Le développement d’une insuffisance musculaire apparaît plurifactoriel. Ainsi, on met en évidence une agression directe du tissu musculaire au cours du sepsis, de processus inflammatoires systémiques et d’hypoxémie soutenue, qui sont autant de causes d’admission et de prise en charge en soins critiques. L’immobilité forcée par la lourdeur des soins techniques en médecine intensive et réanimation est, en association avec un déséquilibre nutritionnel, un facteur important du développement de l’insuffisance musculaire. La rééducation la plus précoce, suivant des protocoles gradués adaptés à la progression de chaque patient, est à ce jour la stratégie de prévention d’incapacités fonctionnelles à court et moyen termes la plus éprouvée.
”Jag är inte prostituerad, jag lever normalt”
Authors: Johansson Alessandro , Gunnarsson Lena
Published: June 2022

Sugardejting är ett till stora delar nytt och växande fenomen inom sex- och intimitetsindustrin som kretsar kring för ändamålet nischade webbsidor. Fenomenet överlappar i betydande grad med prostitution men marknadsförs som något annat. Utifrån intervjuer med femton ”sugarbabes” och nio ”sugardaddys” med erfarenhet av heterosexuell sugardejting undersöker vi i artikeln vilka strategier sugardejtare använder för att avgränsa sina erfarenheter från prostitution. Vi visar att både kvinnorna och männen utför ett språkligt och praktiskt ”relationsarbete” som fyller funktionen att skilja sugardejting antingen från prostitution som sådan eller från vad intervjupersonerna ser som egentlig prostitution. Relationsarbetet kretsar kring fem centrala teman: hur ersättningen benämns, ersättningens utförandeform, kvinnans sexuella frivillighet, den ömsesidiga njutningen och dejtinglikheten. Vi menar att distanseringen från prostitution inte bara kan tolkas som ett sätt att rentvå sig själv från associationer till en stigmatiserad praktik, utan också kan ses som ett uttryck för att intervjupersonerna har laddade föreställningar om prostitution som de har svårt att passa in med sina egna erfarenheter.

A “Pandemic/Disaster Law” is needed to condense and organize the current dispersed and multiple legislation. The State must exercise a single power and command appropriate to each situation, with national validity. The production of plans for the use of land and real estate as potential centers for health care, shelter or refuge is recommended. There should be specific disaster plans at least for Primary Health Care, Hospitals and Socio-sanitary Centers. The guarantee of the maintenance of communication and supply routes is essential, as well as the guarantee of the autochthonous production of basic goods. The pandemic has highlighted the need to redefine the training plans for physicians who, in their different specialties, have to undertake reforms that allow a more versatile and transversal training. National research must have plans to be able to respond quickly to questions posed by the various crises, using all the nation’s resources and in particular, all the data and capabilities of the health sector. Contingency plans must consider ethical aspects, and meet the needs of patients and families with a humanized approach. In circumstances of catastrophe, conflicts increase and require a bioethical response that allows the best decisions to be made, with the utmost respect for people’s values. Rapid, efficient and truthful communication systems must be contained in a special project for this sector in critic circumstances. Finally, we believe that the creation of National Coordination Centers for major disasters and Public Health can contribute to better face the crises of the future.

Improving the accuracy of locating invasion objects by radar detection means with superscanning
Authors: Ольшанский В.В. , Мартемьянов С.В. , Сафонцева Н.Ю. , Гунько В.Б.
Published: June 2022

В статье рассмотрена математическая модель местоопределения объектов вторжения применительно к радиолокационным техническим средствам обнаружения со сверхбыстрым законом сканирования луча антенны в угловом секторе обзора контролируемой территории. Опыт эксплуатации систем охраны показывает, что для обеспечения зон безопасности морских терминалов, гидротехнических сооружений, акваторий морских портов и т.п. существенным является определение местоположения объекта вторжения на максимально допустимой дальности. Предложенный алгоритм функционирования позволяет учесть различия законов сканирования луча антенны при излучении и приеме сигналов в секторе обзора, а также местоположения по дальности объекта вторжения внутри формируемого «слоя видимости». Полученные аналитические зависимости позволяют повысить потенциальную точность местоопределения лоцируемого объекта за счет устранения методических погрешностей, связанных с применением традиционных алгоритмов функционирования в системах со сверхсканированием. Практическая реализация предложенной математической модели повлияет на общую эффективность систем безопасности, и, в частности, объектов транспортной инфраструктуры.

The article considers a mathematical model of the location of invasion objects in relation to radar detection equipment with an ultrafast scanning law of the antenna beam in the angular sector of the survey of the controlled territory. The experience of operating security systems shows that in order to ensure the security zones of sea terminals, hydraulic structures, seaports, etc., it is essential to determine the location of the invasion object at the maximum permissible range. The proposed algorithm of operation makes it possible to take into account the differences in the laws of scanning the antenna beam when emitting and receiving signals in the viewing sector, as well as the location of the intrusion object within the formed "visibility layer". The obtained analytical dependences make it possible to increase the potential accuracy of locating the object being located by eliminating methodological errors associated with the use of traditional algorithms for functioning in systems with overscanning. The practical implementation of the proposed mathematical model will affect the overall effectiveness of security systems, and, in particular, transport infrastructure facilities.

Authors: Iqbal Muhammad , Riono Dewi Larasati , Tanra Andi Husni , Gumara Yudi
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Hemorrhoidectomy is one of the most common anorectal surgeries performed in a surgical room or ambulatory clinic. The procedure is linked to severe postoperative pain. Both general and regional anesthesia with spinal anesthesia is used in anorectal surgery. However, these predominantly used anesthesia methods leave postoperative side effects of nausea, vomitus, urinary retention, headache, dizziness, back pain, prolonged inferior muscle weakness, and the level of postoperative pain after the anesthesia wears off.

Case presentation: Three cases of severe hemorrhoids were reported, and they underwent open hemorrhoidectomy with a perianal block. Postoperatively, all cases reported no side effects, minimal level of pain, and faster recovery. Recently, the perianal block has been used to curtail the side effects.

Conclusion: Perianal block is performed by infiltrating the inferior rectal nerves innervating the anus and sphincter muscle. Sedation is sometimes performed prior to injection of the anesthetic block. This technique is considered safe and effective for hemorrhoidectomy.

Security and Fragility of Tenure of Public Servants within the Legal Framework in Uganda
Authors: Kimuraheebwe John Mary Vianney , Atibuni Dennis Zami , Manyiraho Deborah
Published: June 2022

This conceptual paper examines the security and fragility of tenure of public servants in Uganda within the established legal and policy frameworks. The conceptualisation involved a systematic literature review of the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, as amended, together with a host of other principal and subsidiary legislation that provides for the security of tenure of public servants in Uganda. Other primary sources such as court cases and secondary sources such as policy documents, relevant articles, and reviews were also reviewed. The paper reveals that despite its strength due to its robustness, the labour law of Uganda has gaps which, in addition to the manner of its coordination and implementation, potentially and actually generates both positive and negative expectations and outcomes for the public officers in relation to their security of tenure at the workplace. In this paper, we argue that a fair implementation of the law guarantees tenure security while unfair implementation of it predisposes the public officers to a fragile and insecure tenure. We also suggest strategies that can be employed to avert tenure fragility and enhance tenure security to foster the socioeconomic transformation of the civil servants and the country as a whole

Hybrid Feature Extraction Based Ensemble Classification Model to Diagnose Oral Carcinoma Using Histopathological Images
Authors: Gupta Rachit Kumar , Manhas Jatinder , Kour Mandeep
Published: June 2022

Detection and classification of cancerous tissue from histopathologic images is quite a challenging task for pathologists and computer assisted medical diagnosis systems because of the complexity of the histopathology image. For a good diagnostic system, feature extraction from the medical images plays a crucial role for better classification of images. Using inappropriate or redundant features leads to poor classification results because classification algorithm learns a lot of unimportant information from the images. We propose hybrid feature extractor using different feature extraction algorithms that can extract various types of features from histopathological image. For this study, feature fused Convolution Neural Network, Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrix, and Local Binary Pattern algorithms are used. The texture and deep features obtained from these methods are used as input vector to classifiers: Support Vector Machine, KNearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes and Boosted Tree. Prediction results of these classifiers are combined using soft majority voting algorithm to predict final output. Proposed method achieved an accuracy of 98.71%, which is quite high as compared to previous similar research works. Proposed method was capable of identifying most of cancerous histopathology images. The combination of deep and textural features can be potentially used for creating computer assisted medical imaging diagnosis system that can detect cancer from histopathology images timely and accurately.

In various circumstances of stochastic regression analysis, one deals with a random vector (X, Y), where Y is an outcome of X but not vice-versa. In such situations, X has a non-normal distribution while the conditional distribution of (Y|X=x) may or may not be normal. In this paper, the distribution of X is assumed to be Extreme value distribution (Type I) and the conditional distribution of Y to be normal. Then Modified Maximum Likelihood (MML) estimators are derived. Hypothesis testing procedure is also developed.
Approximate Optimum Strata Boundaries for Equal Allocation under Ranked Set Sampling
Authors: Islam Rather Khalid Ul , Rizvi S.E.H
Published: June 2022

Optimum stratification is the method of choosing the best boundaries that make strata internally homogeneous, given some sample allocation. In order to make the strata internally homogenous, the strata should be constructed in such a way that the strata variances for the characteristic under study be as small as possible. This could be achieved effectively by having the distribution of the study variable known and create strata by cutting the range of the distribution at suitable points. If the frequency distribution of the study variable is unknown, it may be approximated from the past experience or some prior knowledge (auxiliary information) obtained at a recent study. In this study, problem of optimum stratification on the auxiliary variable x for equal allocation has been considered. A ( ) 3 cum K x rule of obtaining approximately optimum strata boundaries has been proposed under ranked set sampling. A numerical investigation with relative efficiency has also been made.

Published: June 2022

In this manuscript, we have introduced a new transformed version of xgamma distribution using the Alpha Power Transformation (APT) technique known as Alpha Power Transformed Xgamma distribution (APTXGD). Through the APT technique, we have added a new parameter in xgamma distribution thus, making it more flexible as compared to baseline model. Several properties of the proposed model viz., moments, conditional moments, generating functions, order statistics, L-moments, entropies, Boneferroni and Lorenz curve, mean deviation e.t.c. have been studied. Besides, the behaviour of hazard rate and shape of the density function have been discussed in detail. The parameters of proposed model are estimated through the widely used classical estimation method, maximum likelihood estimation. A simulation study has been carried out to check the consistency of the estimates of proposed model. Lastly, five real life examples pertaining to different arenas are considered to show the applicability and significance of the proposed model.
