Többszörös coronarialaesiók és diffúz coronariabetegség funkcionális értékelése
Authors: Fülöp Gábor , Csanádi Bettina , Fülöp Dávid , Piróth Zsolt
Published: November 2022

A coronariabetegség diagnosztikájában az elmúlt évtizedekben egyre fontosabb
szerep jut a koronarográfia során használt invazív funkcionális
vizsgálómódszereknek. A hagyományos, csak anatómiai értékekkel számoló
koronarográfiás vizsgálat nem nyújt információt arról, hogy az intermedier
laesiók okoznak-e vérellátási zavart, illetve gyakran nem áll rendelkezésre a
vizsgálat előtt elvégzett, ischaemiát igazoló és lokalizáló, megfelelő
szenzitivitású és specificitású noninvazív vizsgálómódszer. Számos tanulmány
rávilágított a funkcionális invazív vizsgálómódszerek használata során szerzett
klinikai előnyökre. Revascularisatio hiányában a koszorúér-betegség funkcionális
súlyossága fordított arányban áll a nemkívánatos cardiovascularis eseményekkel.
Lényeges pontja a szív vérellátásának javításakor azoknak az eltéréseknek a
kiválasztása, amelyek az ischaemiáért a leginkább okolhatók. A diffúz betegség
és többszörös szűkületek invazív funkcionális vizsgálata egyelőre még nincs
teljes mértékben tisztázva. A klinikai vizsgálatokkal igazolt módszereken túl új
eljárásokat dolgoztak ki az utóbbi időben, mint például a ’pullback pressure
gradient’ alkalmazása vagy az ’instantaneous wave-free ratio intensity’. Így
lehetőség nyílhat az adott coronarián belül a funkcionálisan súlyos, az éren
belüli ischaemiáért, illetve tünetekért elsősorban felelős laesiók
kiválasztására és revascularisatiójára vagy diffúz betegség, egyértelműen nem
kijelölhető laesio esetén a gyógyszeres kezelés optimalizálására. Orv Hetil.

Published: November 2022

Bevezetés: A Leber-féle congenitalis amaurosis az örökletes
ideghártya-dystrophiák csoportjába tartozó, genetikailag igazolható olyan
kórkép, mely már fiatalkorban jelentős látásromláshoz vezet. A betegség először
a látótér koncentrikus beszűkülését, idővel pedig a centrális látás elvesztését
okozza. A voretigén neparvovec (Luxturna®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals
AG, Bázel, Svájc) terápia révén az RPE65-gén mutációja következtében kialakuló
ideghártya-dystrophia az első olyan szemészeti kórkép, mely esetén lehetőség van
génterápia alkalmazására. Célkitűzés: Az RPE65 biallelikus
génmutáció miatt voretigén neparvovec génterápiában elsőként részesült magyar
betegek kezelési eredményeinek bemutatása. Módszer: Genetikai
vizsgálattal igazoltan RPE65 biallelikus génmutációban szenvedő két betegünk
egy-egy szemén voretigén neparvovec génterápiában részesült. A kezelést
megelőzően, valamint az utánkövetés időszakában vizsgáltuk a legjobb korrigált
látásélességet, a centrális retinavastagságot, a látótérszűkület mértékét,
valamint elektrofiziológiai vizsgálatokat végeztünk.
Eredmények: A kezelés hatására mind a legjobb korrigált
látásélesség (a testvérpár idősebb tagjánál +3, a fiatalabb testvérnél +10
betű), mind a látótérszűkület mértéke javulást mutatott mindkét beteg esetében.
A látásfunkciók változása jelentős életminőség-javulást eredményezett betegeink
mindennapi életében. Következtetés: Betegeink posztoperatív
eredményei korrelálnak a klinikai vizsgálatok eredményeivel. Orv Hetil. 2022;

A Study and Comparison of Different 3D Reconstruction Methods Following Quality Criteria
Authors: Akdim A. , Mahdaoui A. , Roukhe H. , Hseini A. Marhraoui , Bouazi A.
Published: November 2022

Abstract 3D image of a real object is a process that must be passed through two stages. The first is scanning real object by using 3D scanner, this step allows the acquisition of 3D point cloud of the object. The second is the reconstruction step, where the construction of the mesh that represents the real object is done. The surface reconstruction is carried out by means of an existing surface reconstruction method. Mesh reconstruction techniques can be grouped into two categories: the combinatorial approach and the approach by adjusting a predefined model. A large number of combinatorial methods have the principle of establishing relations between the points of a sample. The second approach is based on the idea of approximating the sampled surface using predefined models, built on global or local assumptions concerning the shape to be reconstructed. In this paper, a review of literature and experimental studies of 3d reconstruction methods, that exist in the literature, are realized then a comparison, between these methods based on Frey criterion that represents the quality of the produced surface and execution time. The experimental results show that in terms of surface quality, Ball Pivoting technique, presents a good result. However, alpha shapes method gives relevant results in execution time.

Published: November 2022

Abstract ATP Tennis stands for the “The Association of Tennis Professionals” which is the primary governing body for male tennis players. ATP was formed in Sep 1972 for professional tennis players. A study has been done on tennis players’ datasets to implement supervised machine learning techniques to illustrate match data and make predictions. An appropriate dataset has been chosen, data cleaning has been implemented to extract anomalies, data is visualized via plotting methods in R language and supervised machine learning models applied. The main models applied are linear regression and decision tree. Results and predictions have been extracted from the applied models. In the linear regression model, the correlation is calculated to find the relation between dependent and independent variables, furthermore the results and prediction are extracted from the linear regression model. Also, three hypotheses are applied for multiple linear regression model. The decision tree modeled the best of 3 or best of 5 sets of matches and predicted which set of matches would be considered best. Keywords: Machine Learning, supervised learning, linear regression, decision tree, R language, Tennis, ATP.

Abstract Objective to analyze the association between experiences of sexuality with bio-socio-demographic variables and quality of life of elderly people. Methods cross-sectional study, developed with 1,922 Brazilian elderly people, whose data were collected through a web survey. Three instruments were used to obtain bio-socio-demographic data, sexuality and quality of life. The analysis was carried out with the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Spearman correlation and multivariate linear regression tests, with the “insert” input method, adopting a 95% confidence interval. Results the overall assessment of sexuality was strongly associated with marital status (p<0.001); religion (p=0.001); not having children (p<0.001); sexual orientation (p=0.008) and receiving guidance on sexuality from health professionals (p=0.002). Sexuality correlated positively and with different magnitudes with all facets of quality of life (p<0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that all dimensions of sexuality remained positively associated with quality of life: sexual act [β=0.154; 95%CI=0.083-0.225; p<0.001]; affective relationships [β=0.335; 95%CI=0.263-0.407; p<0.001] and physical and social adversity [β=1.388; 95%CI=1.206-1.571; p<0.001]. Conclusion and implications for practice sexuality was significantly associated with some bio-socio-demographic variables and positively correlated with the quality of life of the elderly people investigated.

Authors: Nygard Adam , Hanna Nicholas , Fiore Gerre , Rohr Aaron , Alli Adam , Collins Zachary , Irani Neville
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION. Placement of removable filters (rIVCFs) has increased, but this has not been accompanied by timely removal, with retrieval rates as low as 8.5% at some institutions. Studies demonstrate failure to remove rIVCFs that are not medically necessary result in increased complications. This study discusses the development of an IVC filter follow up protocol.
METHODS. A method to monitor IVC filter placement and retrieval was developed. A weekly report was generated detailing placement and removal of rIVCFs. A standardized retrieval calculator was utilized to determine efficacy of removal. An IVC filter Retrieval Assessment Form was developed. Managing physicians and patients with medically unnecessary filters were sent letters with a retrieval checklist and order form. If not removed within one year, additional letters were sent. Standardized IVC filter reporting templates were created and utilized after insertion of all filters with retrieval status. Letters were eventually built into the EMR for direct routing.
RESULTS. From 2015 to 2020, IVC filters were placed in 719 patients. Of those, 58% were eligible for retrieval. Initial rates of rIVCF removal in eligible patients were as low as 30-33% in 2015. The retrieval rate of eligible filters rose to 44% in September 2018. The rate of retrieval rose to 61% in January 2021.
CONCLUSIONS. Employing a systemic protocol to aid in follow-up of patients following rIVCF placement can improve rates of retrieval in the appropriate clinical setting. Regular evaluation and revision of the process played a significant role in achieving an increase in retrieval rates.
Sustainable development of green energy-automated bird protection at wind farms
Authors: Aleksandra Szurlej-Kielanska , Lucyna A Pilacka
Published: November 2022

Green energy facilitates the sustainable development of modern society. To meet the increasing demand for wind energy, however, wind turbines are installed in more and more challenging locations, often close to the natural environment of birds. Rotating at high speed, the blades of wind turbines are hardly visible to avifauna, leading to numerous collisions and fatalities. This poses a question as to whether the most recent technological achievements can be relied on to reduce the impact of man-made structures on birds. The presented research tests the potential use of the automated Bird Protection System (BPS) developed by Bioseco for collision risk mitigation at wind farms. The BPS was installed and tested in a real environment, at a wind turbine in northern Poland. The performed validation showed that at a distance of up to 300 m the BPS performs at least as well as a skilled ornithologist and large bird species are successfully detected from over 600 m.

Análisis de las exigencias normativas de la masculinidad hegemónica en las propuestas artísticas actuales
Authors: Del Río Almagro Alfonso , Pastrana de la Flor Mariano Manuel
Published: November 2022

Este texto tiene como objetivo principal desarrollar un análisis crítico sobre cuáles son las exigencias normativas demandadas por el modelo de masculinidad hegemónico, para ser considerado “un hombre de verdad”, que se siguen señalando, abordando y reflexionando en las propuestas artísticas actuales, a pesar de los logros conseguidos en el cuestionamiento y en la crisis del ideal de la masculinidad tradicional a finales del siglo XX. Para ello, se han localizado y estudiado diversas obras provenientes tanto de proyectos expositivos como de la producción de numerosos artistas que han centrado en esta problemática su línea de investigación, contrastándolas con las aportaciones de expertos/as en esta temática. Un estudio que nos permitirá, por un lado, constatar la capacidad del arte para interferir en la representación de los atributos asignados y exigibles a la masculinidad normativa. Y, por otro, comprobar no sólo la pervivencia de dichos imperativos en la actualidad, sino su fortalecimiento en determinados ámbitos, como dan muestra las propuestas artísticas que estudiaremos.The main aim of this text is to develop a critical analysis about which normative requirements are demanded by what the hegemonic masculinity model considers "a real man". These requirements are still pointed analyzed and reflected on current artistic proposals, despite of the achievements on questioning the ideal of traditional masculinity and its crisis at the end of the twentieth century. Therefore, various exhibition and production projects from artists who have focused their research on this issue have been located and studied. Afterwards, these projects have been contrasted with expert contributions on this subject. This study will allow us to verify the capacity of art for interfering in the representation of attributes assigned and required from normative masculinity. Furthermore, it will help us to verify the survival of these impositions nowadays, but also their strengthening in certain areas, as it is shown in the artistic proposals that will be studied.
Manufacturing Populism: Digitally Amplified Vernacular Authority
Authors: Howard Robert Glenn
Published: November 2022

This article shows that digital technologies can play an outsized role in populist discourse because the imagined “voice of the people” gains its authority through the appearance of continuities and consistencies across many iterative communication events. Those iterations create an observable aggregate volition which is the basis of vernacular authority. Digital technologies give institutions the ability to generate those iterative communications quickly. Through example analyses, I show three different ways that institutional actors deployed digital technologies to promote their populist political agendas by manufacturing “the will of the people.” Each of these examples suggests that digital technologies hybridize communication in ways that suggest the elite are always already part of “the people.”
ALBERT C. KOCH’S MISSOURIUM AND THE DEBATE OVER THE CONTEMPORANEITY OF HUMANS AND THE PLEISTOCENE MEGAFAUNA OF NORTH AMERICA
Authors: MCMILLAN R. BRUCE
Published: November 2022

Albert Koch was one of those fascinating characters who burst upon the American scene in the early nineteenth century. He was a fossil collector who has been lauded and ridiculed by both scientists and laymen alike. After collecting natural history specimens in Pennsylvania and Michigan, he opened a museum in St. Louis, an amalgam of natural history objects, curiosities, and theatrical performances. He is best known for his famous Missourium, a grossly misassembled American mastodon skeleton that ended up in the British Museum. Because of the hokum he peddled, many scientists considered his exaggerated and misassembled skeleton a hoax. Albert Koch created additional controversy when he observed that he had uncovered evidence that the extinct megafauna and early man were contemporaneous, a debate that remained unsettled for several decades. This essay critically examines Koch’s fossil collecting pursuits, his claims of human-megafauna associations, as well as his contributions to science and natural history.

This is the first of a two-part paper, the second focusing on Koch’s discovery and exhibition of an early archaeocete whale that he called Hydrarchos, an exaggerated skeleton that created significantly more controversy than his Missourium.

Amelanotic nodular malignant melanoma in a patient with a family history of skin cancers
Authors: Snarskaya Elena S. , Olisova Olga Yu. , Vasileva Kseniya  D.
Published: November 2022

Amelanotic skin melanoma is the amelanotic or hypomelanotic subtype of nodular melanoma. Amelanotic melanoma accounts for almost 60% of completely unrecognized melanoma. Amelanototic melanomas may not have the classic features of other melanomas and are usually red or skin-colored and more symmetrical, so superficially spreading melanomas are more easily recognized by most healthcare professionals and even patients.
Today, the path of melanoma development associated with genetic predisposition is being considered, in particular, with an unfavorable oncological family history, which is characterized by the development of melanoma in areas of the body periodically exposed to insolation, such as the trunk and limbs. The mechanism underlying amelanosis is not fully understood. As in pigment analogs, amelanotic melanoma cells retain their melanin-producing ability due to the expression of tyrosinase and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor.
We present our own clinical case of the development of a rare amelanocytic nodular melanoma on the leg in a patient with a family history of cancer. The complexity of the presented clinical case lies in the clinical picture atypical for nodular melanoma, since the formation was not pigmented, which did not cause concern for the patient and doctors, since the clinical picture was more consistent with a typical pyogenic granuloma. The patient underwent a wide excision of the formation. Further examination ruled out tumor metastases. The patient received a course of prophylactic therapy with recombinant interferon alfa. There was no recurrence of the disease during 3 years of follow-up. No metastasis has been observed so far.

Published: November 2022

Hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) is a chronic, inflammatory, primary follicular disease triggered by follicular occlusion with subsequent inflammation and destruction of the skin appendage, affecting hair follicles located in apocrine gland-bearing body areas. Clinical presentation of hidradenitis suppurativa is extremely variable showing a wide spectrum of cutaneous lesions in different stages of evolution, different pattern of distribution and grades of severity. Traditionally for severity staging the Hurley clinical grading system has been used where stage I stands for mild disease while stage II and III for moderate and severe stages respectively. 2015 classification of Van Der Zee and Jemec proposed 6 phenotypes of hidradenitis suppurativa: regular type, frictional furuncle type, scarring folliculitis type, conglobata type, syndromic type, ectopic type.
We present a photogallery on this problem.

Published: November 2022

This work sets out to investigate purchase behavior of Chinese customers with respect to HMR(Home meal replacement) products and categorize them. In this study the main stress falls on multichannel selection according to their purchase behavior and demographic characteristics. And it mainly focuses on the question of what kind of factors influence on purchasing the HMR and how to classify the customer groups based on the consideration attributes. We surveyed 170 Chinese customers who had used HMR products for the past twelve months, ranging from 20 to 69 years old. In order to characterize the customers, 22 factors were selected by earlier studies and brainstorming. The result was organized by factor score from K-mean clustering method, Chinese consumers were clustered into four groups. They are listed here as follows; (1)group focusing on major supermarkets, (2)group focusing on online stores, (3)group focusing on many different types of offline stores, and (4)group for cross-channel shopper. Customers who had purchased HMR products and obtained the related information mainly from major supermarkets were classified as Group 1. Customers who had evaluated various factors for buying the products and mainly used online stores were classified as Group 2. And customers of Group 3 were purchased the products by many types of offline stores, contrary to the Group 1. Lastly, in Group 4, customers had trend of purchasing based on cross-channel shopping for various purposes. They were especially sensitive to price changes to select a purchase channel.

Published: November 2022

El conflicto armado en Colombia dejó grandes aprendizajes y significados frente a la vulnerabilidad de las mujeres y las violaciones de sus Derechos Humanos causadas por el desconocimiento y la desigualdad de géneros en todos los países de América Latina (Segato, 2016). Siendo un faltante la educación asertiva para las mujeres lideresas del posconflicto (Alto Comisionado para la Paz, 2016). El rol que las mujeres han de adquirir y asumir dentro de los procesos de la Justicia Transicional como arquetípicos históricos permiten categorizar las desigualdades y favorecer los procesos de Reconciliación en Colombia, convirtiéndose en luz en los avances de las investigaciones en diferentes partes del mundo bajo el reconocimiento de hombres y mujeres bajo la libertad y la paz (Díaz, 2018). La mujer lideresa se desempeña para transformar su rol y así lograr disminuir la desigualdad (Céspedes, 2014), con todos los medios sociales y culturales integrados en el desempeño de muchas obras y acciones (Grisales, 2018), lo cual este trabajo investigativo tiene un enfoque cualitativo a partir del análisis inductivo que propone una mirada desde el liderazgo y la transformación de los roles y de la forma de asumir los movimientos culturales y sociales a partir del posconflicto; un icono social en Latinoamérica focalizado en transformar las condiciones de vida y la construcción de paz (Lemaitre, 2015), bajo la fuerza, entereza, coraje y ganas e cambiar los episodios negativos en participación en contra de la desigualdad presente en el siglo XXI (Indepaz, (S.F)).

La información fue recogida mediante un cuestionario (α: 0.980) que se aplicó de manera intencionada a 50 abogados que ejercen en derecho ambiental. Fueron calculados estadísticos descriptivos y se realizó un contraste de hipótesis basado en el test Rho de Spearman. Se evidenciaron falencias formativas, percibiéndose que solo el 50% de los casos revela un nivel alto, reflejando esto carencias estructurales del sistema educativo formal e informal en los aspectos de formación ético – valorativa, formación sobre cultura ambiental y formación en manejo de las Tics. El nivel de litigación en derecho ambiental fue alto solo en un 38% de los abogados, mostrándose así también carencias que condicionan la litigación efectiva. Se observó que el nivel de formación académica de los abogados en el tema ambiental está relacionado significativamente y repercute en el nivel de litigación en materia de Derecho Ambiental (Rho p-valor= ≤ 0.05), confirmándose así el supuesto de partida de la investigación. El examen de correlación también reveló la disonancia existente entre el plano ético y el de la evidencia empírica-científica ambiental de los abogados. Se recomienda al Estado peruano el monitoreo de los procesos de formación en Derecho en las universidades.

Authors: Mohanan Athira
Published: November 2022

Obturator hernia is an extremely rare type of hernia with relatively high mortality and morbidity. Its early diagnosis is challenging since the signs and symptoms are non-specific. Obturator hernia is a rare but significant cause of intestinal obstruction especially in emaciated elderly women. Here a case of 93-year frail lady with incarcerated left sided obturator hernia with small bowel as content is presented, for which she underwent resection and ileoileal anastomosis and simple closure of the hernia defect.
Acute cholangitis: a literature review
Authors: Orozco Cesár A. O. , Fuentes Alberto B. , Gutiérrez Félix O. , Z. Torres Jose M.
Published: November 2022

Acute cholangitis is a disease that occurs when a stricture or obstruction of the bile duct causes cholestasis and/or infection. Biliary stricture or obstruction elevates the pressure in the biliary system and causes reflux of microorganisms or endotoxins from the infected bile into the systemic circulation, which induces a systemic inflammatory response. The Charcot triad provides high specificity, however, due to its low sensitivity (50-70%), it is very limited to make a diagnosis of cholangitis alone. Therefore, the most current guidelines suggest specific criteria for diagnosis. Antibiotic treatment is a fundamental pillar in the management of patients with cholangitis. The treatment must be carried out depending on the severity (grade I-III).

Published: November 2022

Background: Throughout the world bipolar disorder is one of the leading causes of mental disability. But there are only few literature studies found on quality of life (QoL) and disability of patients with bipolar disorder. The study aims to assess inter-relationship between QoL and disability of patients with bipolar I disorder in remission and to assess the pathways of help seeking behaviors by the family members of bipolar I disorder patients.Methods: This study involves non-experimental research design with purposive sampling method. A total of 62 participants from clinical group (outpatient department of mental health institute (Centre of excellence), S. C. B. medical college) and 48 participants from matched healthy control group included. World health organization quality of life assessment (WHO-QoL) Bref Odia version and WHO disability assessment schedule (WHO DAS) 2.0 used.Results: Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found in all the four domains of QoL. Statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were found in cognition, mobility, life activity and participation in society domains of WHO DAS. There were significant negative correlations found in different domains of QoL and disability. A majority of family members consulted mental health professionals directly as the first modality of treatment.Conclusions: Both the QoL and mental disability burden are equally affected in chronic suffers of bipolar I disorder, which requires mental health intervention at earliest as possible.

Background: The usage of over-the-counter (OTC) medications has steadily increased in recent years. Improper use of OTC medications might result in health and other drug-related issues. Easy access to OTC medications has become a more critical concern in developing countries. Objective of the study was to assess the OTC drugs dispensed in community pharmacies.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in selected community pharmacies. To evaluate the OTC drugs dispensed; 700 participants were polled using questionnaires through a validated data collection form, and a patient interview respectively. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression were performed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) (version 20). The Chi-square test was used to test for significant differences between groups (p<0.05).Results: A total of 700 patients were recruited for the study to assess the use of OTC drugs. Analgesics/NSAIDs are the most often used OTC medications, accounting for (30.4%), followed by antacids (15.7%). The primary sources of information to purchase OTC medications were taken from community phapharmacists1.6%). Recurrence of minor ailments (68%) is the major influencing factor for OTC drug purchase, whereas (80.9%) agree that OTC medication is cheaper and more convenient.Conclusions: As per the findings of the study; OTC medication dispensing is prominent, and there is a need for awareness programs to ensure rational drug usage.

Undisputedly, healthy behaviours and lifestyles have a positive impact on health outcomes, and its individual, social, environmental, and cultural determinants are well understood. Primary care physicians can effectively intervene with patients to encourage healthy behaviour through numerous chances. Regular clinical practice includes health promotion as a necessary element.  Health systems can support a person's health requirements through primary health care, including illness prevention, treatment, palliative care, and more. This approach also guarantees that the delivery of healthcare is centred on patients' needs and supports their preferences. Regular care must incorporate health promotion strategies if the healthcare system is to be effective. Giving individuals the information, they need to improve and take better control of their health is the goal of health promotion. Primary care physicians are the immediate contact with the community which makes them the ideal candidates for health promotion and education. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the role of primary care physician in health promotion and education. Health promotion and education is necessary for the prevention of diseases as it aids in educating population regarding diseases and risk factors. Also, because of its accessibility to care and continuity of treatment, primary healthcare is in a prime position to potentially intervene to modify unhealthy habits. Primary care physicians being first line of contact plays a key role in this regard. Although further research is needed for the implementation of health promotion and education strategies by primary care physicians.

Published: November 2022

Let n, m ∈ N with m ≤ n and X be a metric continuum. We consider the hyperspaces Cn(X) (respectively, Fn(X)) of all nonempty closed subsets of X with at most n components (respectively, n points). The (n, m)−fold hyperspace suspension on X was introduced in 2018 by Anaya, Maya, and Vázquez-Juárez, to be the quotient space Cn(X)/Fm(X) which is obtained from Cn(X) by identifying Fm(X) into a one-point set. In this paper we prove that Cn(X)/Fm(X) contains an n−cell; Cn(X)/Fm(X) has property (b); Cn(X)/Fm(X) is unicoherent; Cn(X)/Fm(X) is colocally connected; Cn(X)/Fm(X) is aposyndetic; and Cn(X)/Fm(X) is finitely aposyndetic.

Predicting disease prediction and prognosis have become very easy task with Machine learning models for an inextricable aspect of cancer research aiming at enhancing patient therapy and management. The primary goal of proposed research work is to use Support vector machine, machine learning models and for dealing very accurately for predicting survival time for breast cancer based on clinical data. The study has proposed a solution to the problem in respect to various tumor related characteristic by integrating from dataset about tumour stage, size of tumor, and age at which the diagnosis start is an important major component for utilising for predicting survival time. Haberman's Survival Data Set is dataset describing those subjects who had been provided treatment for breast cancer. The sample taken for research are taken from study which was conducted at University of Chicago's Billings Hospital taking case who were survived after surgery for breast cancer. SVM applied on data set by different options of kernel RBF and linear as well as soft computing techniques are applied to predict the survival rate of patient from dataset. Apart from data standardisation and categorization, the machine learning approaches used in this research work to demonstrate features in terms of predicting how long they survived. Model performance is analysed on breast cancer data is justified by accuracy, support and f1 score. A workflow based on Python-platform has been utilised to support the suggested technique.
The Dysregulation of miR-301a-3p serves as a non-invasive biomarker and is associated with inflammatory responses in traumatic spinal cord injury
Authors: Mou Leming , Xin Maoyuan , Li Enhui
Published: November 2022

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) led by trauma is a serious damage in central nervous system. This study aimed at confirming the expression levels and clinical significance of miRNA-301a-3p (miR-301a-3p) in SCI patients, and exploring the potential mechanisms of miR-301a-3p participating in SCI progression. Methods: One hundred and thirty nine acute spinal trauma patients, included neurologically normal, incomplete and complete SCI cases, were analyzed in this study. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-301a-3p. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of serum miR-301a-3p in SCI. LPS-treated SH-SY5Y cells were used to mimic SCI inflammatory injury. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Expression of serum miR-301a-3p was significantly higher in both incomplete and complete SCI patients than that in neurologically normal controls, and had a significant ability to distinguish SCI patients from controls. Additionally, complete SCI cases had markedly increased miR-301a-3p compared to incomplete cases, and the two groups of patients could be distinguished based on serum deregulated miR-301a-3p. In the SCI cell model, miR-301a-3p overexpression led to decreased cell viability. The inflammatory responses of the cell model were enhanced by miR-301a-3p, which was consistent with the findings in SCI patients that serum miR-301a-3p was positively correlated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. Conclusion: The expression of miR-301a-3p is increased in SCI patients, and serves as a candidate biomarker for SCI diagnosis. MiR-301a-3p may be involved in SCI progression by affecting neuronal viability and inflammation.
