Surgical Treatment of Bilateral Bullous Exudative Retinal Detachment Following Systemic Corticosteroid Therapy: A Case Report from Aceh
Authors: Zaini Lia Meuthia
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Exudative retinal detachment refers to elevation of the neural retina caused by subretinal fluid accumulation in the absence of a retinal break or significant preretinal traction. Management of exudative retinal detachment should include management of the underlying disease. When the fluid is not resolved, surgical intervention is planned after failure of conventional treatment.  We demonstrated the successful surgical management of exudative bullous retinal detachment using the internal drainage technique.
Case Presentation: A 45 years old man presented with complaint of blurred vision since 5 months before admission. Worsening occurred mainly after administration of high dose methylprednisolone infusion therapy. Visual acuity of the right eye was hand motion, and left eye was 1 meter finger counting. Fundus examination revealed exudative bullous retinal detachment in both eyes.
Discussion: Surgery can be considered as a treatment of choice for exudative retinal detachment if medical management is unsuccessful. A complete examination to determine the cause of the disease is needed before carrying out surgery. External and internal drainage techniques have been reported to be successful in managing subretinal fluid in chronic exudative retinal detachment. We chose vitrectomy with internal drainage because large amount of dense subretinal fluid can make transscleral drainage very difficult.
Conclusions: Surgical management (vitrectomy with internal drainage) can provide good results in chronic exudative retinal detachment, but should not be used as first-line therapy.

Authors: Sudaryo Lina
Published: January 2023

Background: Pediatric cataract is responsible for 200.000 of preventable blindness in children. Early cataract extraction and correction after the lens removal is critical. Secondary intraocular (IOL) implantation might be considered when the child is intolerant to contact lenses/spectacle wear. Only a few study has been done regarding secondary IOL implantation in aphakic children. 
Objective: This study was aimed to describe the characteristic of secondary IOL implantation in aphakic children in Cicendo National Eye Hospital.
Methods: This retrospective observational study took samples from medical records of patients who underwent secondary IOL implantation in 2016 – 2020  in Cicendo National Eye Hospital. 
Results: Fifty nine eyes of forty pediatric patients underwent secondary IOL implantation surgery between 2016 – 2020. Two patients were excluded. From the 38 patients, 56 eyes were observed. Total of 20 patients were boys (52.6%) and 71.1% cases were bilateral cataract with congenital cataract as the main initial diagnosis (47.4%). Mean age of secondary IOL implantation was 71 ± 35 (20–201) months. Mean duration between cataract surgery and secondary IOL implantation was 51 ± 36 (2 – 189) months . Total of 80.4% of the IOL were fixated in the sulcus. Only 25% remained present for more than 12 months follow up and 65.8% of patients were corrected with bifocal spectacles.
Conclusion: Secondary IOL implantation in aphakic children were mostly done in the age of six years old. Most of the IOL were fixated in the sulcus. Patients were mostly given bifocal spectacles.

Published: January 2023

Objectives: Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) is one of the leading causes of blindness and visual loss. Panretinal Photocoagulation (PRP) reduces the risk of severe vision loss in PDR. Good visual acuity results can improve vision-related quality of life. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of laser PRP on patients with PDR on vision-related quality of life.
Methods: In this prospective study, 30 PDR patients (12 men and 18 women) treated with PRP were included (mean age: 51 years, SD: 5,08 years). On average, patients received 1.264 laser spots. The National Eye Institute 7-Item Visual Function Index (VF-7) was used to evaluate patient's vision-related quality of life. The VF-7 was filled in by interview twice, at the beginning before laser PRP and at least 1 month after the completion of PRP. Comparison of VF-7 before and after laser PRP was performed. The correlation between alteration in visual acuity and VF-7 will be evaluated.
Results: Mean VF-7 before laser PRP was 7.00 ± 0.00 and after laser PRP it was 3.43 ± 3.16 (p<0.001, Wilcoxon). VF-7 scores had a statistically significant difference between before and after laser PRP (p<0.05). There was a strong correlation between VF-7 score alteration with visual acuity (p <0.001, r 0.748).
Conclusion: There was a significant improvement in vision-related quality of life following panretinal photocoagulation of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Efficacy of Intravitreal Anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Injection Compared to Focal Therapy in Pediatric Patients with Coats Disease
Authors: Utami Alia Nesa , Barliana Julie Dewi
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Coats disease is a retinal vascular disorder that may lead to progressive exudative retinal detachment. The standard regiment of treatment is focal therapy. However, its effectiveness may decrease when more than two quadrants of the retina exhibit vascular abnormalities. Thus, recent studies tried to use anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) as therapy for the vascular problems.
Aims: Comparing the efficacy between anti-VEGF injection and standard therapy regiment such as focal laser therapy.
Methods: Literature searching was conducted through PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, ProQuest, and SpringerLink. Search terms included "Coats’ Disease" and mesh terms of “Anti- VEGF". The efficacy is assessed based on Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) and improvement in fundus manifestations.
Results: All of the studies that conducted primary intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment were followed by necessary ablative treatment. These studies, such as by Yang Q and Zheng XX, et al. showed remarkable improvements in both visual acuity and anatomical outcomes. Laser therapy also gained satisfactory result in upgrading clinical stages, even though some complications including subretinal fibrosis, cataract, and vitreous hemorrhage were reported. A comparative study by Ray R, et al. noted that group undergoing anti-VEGF might require longer treatment sessions despite possible benefits.
Conclusion: Anti-VEGF agents can be used as neoadjuvant in standard therapy. It did not reduce the time for full treatment, but the resolution of disease was seen in the most severe cases treated with combination therapy.

Published: January 2023

The existing static ABAC(Attribute-Based Access Control) model cannot fully meet the increasingly complex, dynamic and scalable demands of the power grid. At the same time, its versatility and flexibility bring high costs. Additionally, the increasing complexity of organizational systems and the need for federated access to their resources make implementing and managing access control more challenging. This paper proposes a fine-grained dynamic access control method based on Kformer to automate authorization management tasks. We use Kformer, which filters and integrates external knowledge through feed-forward layers in Transformer. Then, we use BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformer) to perform feature extraction on the input fused text, extract the implied attribute-authority relationship from the log records and external documents, and finally, perform sequence modeling on the extracted attribute features and input the obtained results. The final authorization result is obtained by classification through the softmax function in the final fully connected layer. The authorization management of the user’s request to the object is dynamically completed. Finally, using the access data of the grid information system to evaluate the method proposed by us, the experimental results show that the model can continuously monitor the access behavior of users inside the grid information system, change the access rights of entities and adjust the policy in real-time, and carry out dynamic access authorization. At the same time, the accuracy of the generated access control policy can reach 87.73%.
BER-Aware Backscattering Design for Energy Maximization at RFID Passive Tag
Authors: Goay Amus Chee Yuen , Mishra Deepak , Seneviratne Aruna
Published: January 2023

AbsThe radio frequency identification (RFID) passive tag is wireless communication device with high energy sustainability, such that it uses the incident radio frequency (RF) signal to backscatter its information. This paper investigates the output load power maximization with optimal load impedances selection in the backscatter communication (BackCom) network. The considered BackCom system comprises a reader broadcasting an unmodulated carrier to the passive tag in the downlink. The tag backscatters its information signal to the reader with binary amplitude-shift keying (BASK) modulation in the uplink. We formulated an average output load power maximization problem by jointly optimizing the reflection coefficients while satisfying the minimum bit error rate (BER) requirement and tag sensitivity constraint. To simplify the problem, we transform the BER constraint to the modulation index constraint and reduce the 4 variables problem to 2 variables convex optimization problem. Using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, we design an algorithm to obtain the closed-form expression for the global optimal reflection coefficients that maximize the output load power. The simulation results provide insight into the impact of the information bit probability, tag sensitivity constraint, and BER on the achievable average load power. An overall gain of around 16% signifies the utility of our proposed design.

Virus de Epstein-Barr: más que una mononucleosis infecciosa
Authors: Toro-Montoya Ana Isabel
Published: January 2023

El virus de Epstein-Barr (VEB) fue el primer virus asociado a neoplasias en humanos. Infecta el 95 % de la población mundial, y aunque usualmente es asintomático, puede causar mononucleosis infecciosa y se relaciona con más de 200.000 casos de neoplasias al año. De igual forma, se asocia con esclerosis múltiple y otras enfermedades autoinmunes. A pesar de ser catalogado como un virus oncogénico, solo un pequeño porcentaje de los individuos infectados desarrollan neoplasias asociadas a VEB. Su persistencia involucra la capacidad de alternar entre una serie de programas de latencia, y de reactivarse cuando tiene la necesidad de colonizar nuevas células B de memoria, con el fin de sostener una infección de por vida y poder transmitirse a nuevos hospederos. En esta revisión se presentan las generalidades del VEB, además de su asociación con varios tipos de neoplasias, como son el carcinoma nasofaríngeo, el carcinoma gástrico, el linfoma de Hodgkin y el linfoma de Burkitt, y la esclerosis múltiple. Adicionalmente, se describen los mecanismos fisiopatológicos de las diferentes entidades, algunos de ellos no completamente dilucidados.

The Value of Integrated Pulmonary Index Monitoring After Electroconvulsive Therapy
Authors: LAFLI TUNAY Demet
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Aim: The Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) is an algorithm integrated 4 major parameters end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pulse rate (PR) measured by commercially available monitors in order to provide a simple indication of the patient’s overall ventilatory status. IPI provides to determine the need for additional clinical assessment or intervention by evaluating respiratory status of patient. The aim of the study was to study the value of IPI monitoring for assessment of respiratory status and recovery from anesthesia after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

Methods: Total 64 patients, ranging in age from 18 to 65 years and undergoing ECT for various psychiatric disorders, were enrolled in this prospective observational study. All patients were anesthetized with a standardized technique. After the return of spontaneous breathing, in addition to the standard monitoring, all patients were monitored with microstream EtCO2, is a portable bedside monitor that continuously monitors a patient’s EtCO2, RR, SpO2, PR and IPI. All those parameters and also Modified Aldrete Score (MAS) were recorded during the first 5 minutes immediately after neuromuscular blockage recovery and the first 10 minutes in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, at 1-min intervals. Supplemental oxygen requirement, any interventions improving the patency of airway and any complications such as apnea, bradypnoea, tachypnoea etc. were also recorded.

Results: There were 1088 IPI readings ranging from 1 to 10. IPI values during 5 minutes of recovery period were significantly lower in the respiratory intervention group, and also significantly low in patients who needed supplement oxygen in the PACU. Additionally, significant correlations were found between IPI and MAS or SpO2 during follow-up in PACU.

Conclusions: The IPI monitorization can be useful over the standard monitorization in terms of better evaluation of respiratory status, and also provide to make decision about PACU recovery, after ECT.

Metode RSO (record style owner) yaitu implementasi dari kebiasaan penggunaan perangkat elektronik dari pengguna yang dimasukan menjadi sebuah mode.mode itu di setting ke mikrokontroler. Lalu mikrokontroller akan menjalankan aktivitas yang telah diatur sesuai kebiasaan pengguna dengan timer untuk waktu hidupnya. Mikrokontroler Arduino Uno digunakan sebagai otak dari sistem ini, dengan inputan dari module Bluetooth yang menyambung ke android yang berperan sebagai kontroler.Alasan menggunakan metode RSO ini karena sebelumnya melakukan penelitian kepada beberapa orang yang memberitahu pembengkakan biaya listrik karena sering ditinggalkan hidup tanpa digunakan atau faktor lupa mematikan perangkat elektronik,hasil penelitian metode RSO sebagai solusi untuk menyesuaikan kebutuhan user untuk mengkontrol perangkat listrik dan menekan daya yang dikeluarkan agar tidak terbuang sia – sia. Sistem ini diharapkan dapat mempermudah dalam memonitoring dan diharapkan bisa mengurangi pemborosan pemakaian sumberdaya listrik,karena pemakaian listrik yang berlebihan dan tidak tepat akan kebutuhan yang sering terjadi dikalangan masyarakat seperti lampu yang tidak dimatikan, lupa mematikan alat-alat elektronik.

Employee performance appraisal system is used to assess employees who have good performance. The agency or company conducts performance appraisals on employees to evaluate, motivate, verify and improve employee performance. The decision support system will assist the company in the process of evaluating employees quickly and objectively. The simple additive weighting (SAW) method is one of the good methods and can be applied in the decision-making system. From the research results, it is known that the simple additive wighting (SAW) method can determine employee performance appraisals using four criteria, namely attendance, behavior, workload, and work realization. The highest ranking value is obtained with a value of 86.25, while the lowest value is obtained with a value of 66.6.
Algorithmic Elections
Authors: Bender Sarah
Published: January 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) has entered election administration. Across the country, election officials are beginning to use AI systems to purge voter records, verify mail-in ballots, and draw district lines. Already, these technologies are having a profound effect on voting rights and democratic processes. However, they have received relatively little attention from AI experts, advocates, and policymakers. Scholars have sounded the alarm on a variety of “algorithmic harms” resulting from AI’s use in the criminal justice system, employment, healthcare, and other civil rights domains. Many of these same algorithmic harms manifest in elections and voting but have been underexplored and remain unaddressed.

This Note offers three contributions. First, it documents the various forms of “algorithmic decisionmaking” that are currently present in U.S. elections. This is the most comprehensive survey of AI’s use in elections and voting to date. Second, it explains how algorithmic harms resulting from these technologies are disenfranchising eligible voters and disrupting democratic processes. Finally, it identifies several unique characteristics of the U.S. election administration system that are likely to complicate reform efforts and must be addressed to safeguard voting rights.

The purpose of this study is to find out the initial cause of the conflict between the Amungme Papuan indigenous peoples and PT Freeport Indonesia. And to study legal theory as an academic effort to mediate the resolution of the conflict between the Amungme Papuan indigenous peoples and PT Freeport. Indonesia. The research method is a normative research through library research. The issue of the use of land rights between the Amungme and PT Freeport Indonesia is due to the different basic reasons used by each party to claim the disputed land ownership rights. The Amungme Indigenous tribe adheres to the legal theory of justice which is based on the inheritance of disputed lands which are considered as ancestral lands which automatically belong to the Indigenous Amungme tribe. Meanwhile, from the perspective of PT Freeport Indonesia, they rely on the Contract of Work and Agreement as a solid basis for claiming ownership rights over the disputed land based on the teachings of positivistic legal theory. The philosophical dilemma that occurs between the Amungme Indigenous People and PT Freeport Indonesia, in the author's opinion, can occur because of the basis for using the legal theory used. Through the analysis of the conceptual approach, it is hoped that it can provide answers to disputes by consolidation to find a middle way in the form of joint evidence from each party, then agree on the percentage of land that can be controlled by each party

As feed accounts for a significant proportion of a farm’s expenditure, animal nutrition is one of the key profit determinants. Attributed to the size-dependent market value, enhancing shrimps' growth is essential to maximize profit. Despite not being the best option, antibiotics are often used as growth-promoting agents in farming. Although this trend is less explicit in aquaculture, increasing production yield is paramount, especially when intensive aquafarming compromises animal growth and increases disease prevalence. However, the environmental and clinical pitfalls of indiscriminate antibiotic usage are surfacing. Fortunately, increasing evidence demonstrated probiotics as a safer, more sustainable, and environmental-friendly substitute for antibiotics. Nonetheless, most studies are observational, and the growth-promotion mechanisms of these agents are yet to be elucidated. In this light, this review aims to decipher the growth promotion mechanisms of probiotics in shrimps based on the primary works conducted. Evidently, probiotic treatment modulates the gut microbiome composition. The growth promotion effect of probiotics is partly mediated through the production of bioactive compounds such as short-chain fatty acids, vitamins, and polyamines. Besides, elevated digestive enzyme activities following the introduction of probiotics may help enhance digestibility and utilization. Histological changes at the hepatopancreas and intestine were evident. Furthermore, probiotics may reinforce the protective mechanisms in the gut and strengthen immune function. Treated shrimps demonstrate better appetite and exhibit superior metabolic and growth-related genes profile. Contrasting these recognized mechanisms with antibiotics helps construct the initial framework for designing high-quality probiotics for growth enhancement in farmed animals.

The purpose of this study is to establish a strategy to explore the priorities of elderly poverty policies by analyzing the core of the system related to elderly poverty and to derive the priorities of policies with strategic implementation ability. In other words, in order to combat poverty for the elderly, the cause of poverty was identified, and a solution was suggested by finding the priority of policies through the social security system (the 2nd basic social security plan task). As a result of the study, first, it was found that it was urgent to prepare a management plan for health hazards for the elderly. To solve this problem, it is necessary to minimize temporary or post-response methods and first establish a professional management system that finds and actively responds to health risk factors. Second, it is necessary to cultivate manpower and strengthen quality to provide social services. Third, system improvement should be prepared for this, such as increasing the income guarantee rate of the unemployment benefit system and eliminating blind spots of benefits. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen policies by applying policy priority search strategies at the same time as establishing institutional solutions for elderly poverty. First, application to resource concentration, second, emphasis on education and issue symbolism, and third, use of mass media.
