An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based approach for daily load curve prediction
Authors: LAOUAFİ Abderrezak , MORDJAOUİ Mourad , BOUKELİA Taqiy Eddine
Published: September 2018

Forecasting future electricity demand is one of the most important areas
in electrical engineering, due to its vital role for secure and profitable
operations in power systems. In recent years, the advent of new concepts and
technologies such as deregulation of electricity market, smart grids, electric
cars and renewable energy integration have introduced great challenges for
power system managers and consequently, the field of electric load forecasting
becomes more and more important. This paper describes the use of an adaptive
neuro-fuzzy inference system approach for daily load curve prediction. The
methodology we propose uses univariate modeling to recognize the daily and
weekly patterns of the electric load time series as a basis for the forecast.
Results from real-world case study based on the electricity demand data in
France are presented in order to illustrate the proficiency of the proposed
approach. With an average mean absolute percentage error of 2.087%, the
effectiveness of the proposed model is clearly revealed.

Published: September 2018

O Herbário CNPO está localizado na Embrapa Pecuária Sul, no município de Bagé. Foi criado em 1978 e atualmente possui uma coleção de aproximadamente 4.600 espécies, onde predominam as famílias Poaceae e Fabaceae.  O município de Bagé está localizado na Região Sudoeste do Rio Grande do Sul e inserido no Bioma Pampa, com temperaturas médias de 18ºC, solos férteis e uma grandiosa extensão de campos naturais. Os dados das exsicatas foram transferidos para planilhas excel e padronizados para a linguagem Darwin Core, sendo enviados à publicação por meio do IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit) no Sistema de Informação da Biodiversidade Brasileira (SiBBr). As mudas e sementes coletadas para o Banco Ativo de Germoplasma (BAG) de Forrageiras do Sul do Brasil foram registradas no sistema ALELO, utilizado pela Rede Nacional de Recursos Genéticos Vegetais. Para o real conhecimento do acervo, o objetivo do trabalho foi realizar um levantamento para a obtenção de informações e do número de espécies forrageiras, daninhas, medicinais, entre outras, depositadas no Herbário CNPO, incrementando as informações para a realização de futuras coletas direcionadas ao BAG. Objetivou-se também o aprimoramento do processo de informatização do Herbário CNPO. Com relação ao levantamento, foram contabilizados 1191 espécimes de Poaceae e 447 de Fabaceae. Foram encontrados muitos exemplares pertencentes à categoria de plantas daninhas. Das 27 famílias revisadas, duas apresentaram espécies forrageiras: Fabaceae e Poaceae, totalizando 130 diferentes espécies. A família que mais apresentou plantas forrageiras foi Fabaceae (75 espécies). Na família Poaceae também houve um número significativo de espécies (55). Conclui-se, portanto, que novas coletas são necessárias para o aumento da variabilidade genética, ressaltando a importante conexão do Herbário e do BAG. E também, novos levantamentos deverão ser realizados para explorar o potencial do Herbário CNPO.

Published: September 2018

A araruta é uma planta rizomatosa, pertencente à ordem Zingiberales. A espécie é considerada rústica, proveniente da América Latina e se encontra de forma nativa nas matas venezuelanas. Há carência de estudos científicos com a cultura, principalmente com relação ao cultivo e conservação pós-colheita. Diante disso, objetivou-se com esse trabalho verificar a viabilidade da produção de mudas de araruta do tipo Comum e Seta em função do tempo e temperatura de armazenamento de rizomas. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 2 x 3 x 3, sendo os fatores estudados dois tipos de araruta, três temperaturas e três épocas de armazenamento. Durante o armazenamento foi avaliada a massa dos rizomas e após o período de estocagem os rizomas foram utilizados para produção de mudas. Não é viável o armazenamento de rizomas de araruta a baixas temperaturas para produção de mudas. O mais adequado é o armazenamento em temperatura ambiente. O tempo de armazenamento dos rizomas influencia na brotação, sendo que as mudas oriundas de rizomas armazenados a trinta dias obtiveram 100% de brotação, após esse período à brotação de rizomas é reduzida.

Published: September 2018

Atualmente há um grande interesse pelo consumo de frutos in natura. O morangueiro (Fragaria x ananassa Duch), considerado como pequeno fruto tem procura acrescida a cada ano. Contudo, um dos obstáculos para o progresso da cultura em maior escala no país é a carência de cultivares desenvolvidas para condições brasileiras de cultivo. Produtores nacionais geralmente adquirem mudas estrangeiras de cultivares oriundas principalmente de programas de melhoramento genético norte americano. Esse fato pode criar, ampliar ou agravar a interação genótipo*ambiente nas regiões produtoras. A principal implicação desse fenômeno é o inconsistente desempenho produtivo das constituições genotípicas frente às oscilações de fatores abióticos envolvidos nos mais variados sistemas produtivos. Para tanto, na presente revisão bibliográfica, os aspectos: breve histórico do cultivo, características buscadas pelos programas de melhoramento, genótipos desenvolvidos no Brasil, interação genótipo*ambiente e a produção de mudas são discutidos. Por fim, algumas sugestões práticas são relatadas.Palavras-chaves: Fragaria x ananassa Duch, produção de mudas, adaptabilidade.

Published: September 2018

Aims:To develop a Spanish version of the Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale (GASP) and evaluate its psychometric properties among a population in Spain.Methods:A Spanish version of the Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale (GASP) was developed by a Spanish and English speakers through translation and back-translation. The translated GASP was administered to a sample of Spanish general population. The validity and reliability of the scale were tested using standard statistical methods.Results:The translated version of the GASP scale was found to have outstanding domain coherence and language clarity. The tested scales have adequate reliability (>0.55). It is clear evidence of reliability given that the GASP is a scenario-based measure with only four items in each subscale. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the four-factor solution by yielding adequate results. Conclusions:This study presents the first validation of the GASP questionnaire with Spanish general population. GASP instrument was found to have satisfactory psychometric properties, resulting in a new moral and social research tool.
Diversifying but Not Integrating: Entropic Measures of Local Segregation
Authors: Kramer Rory , Kramer Peter
Published: September 2018

Scholars of segregation have struggled to adapt indices designed to model two‐group segregation for cities with large populations drawn from more than two racial/ethnic groups. Considering segregation as a social form of entropy resolves that struggle and introduces a family of related measures that offer means of analysing segregation at both the local (neighbourhood) level and the greater (city/region) area. A case study of Philadelphia's level of segregation from 1990 to 2010 illustrates the benefits of the new measures. While Philadelphia has diversified, it remains racially segregated. Further, the new measures show the growing importance of Hispanic segregation and a shift from segregation being visited upon the city's Black residents to being driven by a White population that grows more segregated as its population share shrinks. Integrating measures of segregation and diversity into studies of residential racial patterns enhances our understanding of racial segregation patterns in a multiracial context.
Biochemical and hematological parameters in chronic kidney disease
Authors: Singh S. , Bhatta S.
Published: September 2018

Background: Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem. It is associated with various biochemical and hematological abnormalities that leads to morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biochemical and hematological parameters in chronic kidney disease patients.Methods: This is a prospective cross sectional study conducted over a period of six months on 52 chronic kidney disease patients at Kist Medical College Teaching Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal. Biochemical parameters such as urea, creatinine, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium and hematological parameters like hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, total leukocyte count, platelet count were measured using standard techniques in chronic kidney disease cases and the findings were compared with age and sex matched controls. Results were analyzed using SPSS 21 for Windows.Results: Hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, total leukocyte count and platelet count were reduced and statistically significant in chronic kidney disease patients compared to controls(p <0.05).In biochemical parameters, serum urea, creatinine, phosphorous were increased and calcium was reduced which was found statistically significant as compared to controls (p <0.05). The combination of diabetes and hypertension was the lead cause of chronic kidney disease found in 38.46% followed by hypertension alone in 30.76%Conclusion: Biochemical and hematological parameters are deranged in patients with chronic kidney disease. Routine evaluation of these parameters is useful in the management of these patients.

Authors: Acharya A. , Kumar G.B.K. , Goudanavar P. , Dhakal K.
Published: September 2018

Background: Recent developments in fast dissolving tablets have brought convenience in dosing to pediatric and elderly patients who have trouble in swallowing tablets.The main objective of the present study is to formulate fast dissolving tablet of Lornoxicam by direct compression method.Methods: Guar gum and crospovidone were used as natural and synthetic superdisintegrants respectively. Fast dissolving tablet of Lornoxicam were prepared by direct compression technique using three different approaches; superdisintegrant addition, sublimation, and solid dispersion.Results: IR and DSC studies showed no interaction between the drug and the excipients. All formulation showed disintegration time ranging from 16.09-42.54 second. Wetting time and disintegration time decreased by increasing the super disintegrant concentration from 2.5% to 5% w/w. Formulae L16 gave the best in- vitro disintegration and dissolution results, which would be due to swelling effect of Gaur gum and amorphization of the drug during the solid dispersion preparation.The best formulation L16 was subjected to stability testing for 3 month and results showed no significant change in appearance, hardness, drug content and dissolution profile of the tablets, hence tablet is stable throughout its stability studies.Conclusion: It was concluded that fast dissolving tablets of Lornoxicam were formulated successfully with desired characteristics which disintegrated rapidly; provided rapid onset of action; and enhanced the patient convenience and compliance.JMMIHS,2018;4(1):86-102

Authors: Marahatta S.B. , Sharma S.
Published: September 2018

Background: Majority of breast cancer cases in developing countries are diagnosed in late stage. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among females in Nepal and can be detected by Breast self-examination (BSE) in early stage of disease. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of breast self-examination among women of reproductive age in Butwal Sub-Metropolitan city.Methods: A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study with 219 women of reproductive age residing in Butwal Sub-Metropolitan city was conducted between March and August 2016. The study samples were enrolled through the cluster random sampling design. Data was collected using an interviewer administered semi-structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS ver. 16.Association was checked using the chi-square test.Results: Of total, only 31.1% of respondents had ever heard about BSE. Only 19.2% women had ever practiced BSE. The study revealed that marital status, monthly household income and level of education were independent factors influencing the knowledge of BSE while performance of BSE was influenced by monthly household income, level of education and history of breast disease.Conclusion: Knowledge and practice of BSE among women of reproductive age in Butwal sub metropolitan city was found poor and inadequate. This shows gap between knowledge and practice of BSE that might be reduced through implementation of community based awareness and skill development programs on BSE targeting the women of reproductive age group.JMMIHS.2018;4(1):117-129
Veterinarians at the Connaught Medical Research Laboratories, 1931–72
Authors: Woodger Kevin , Stone Elizabeth A.
Published: September 2018

This study traces the changing mission of the University of Toronto’s Connaught Medical Research Laboratories regarding the health of animals. We argue that the early work of Connaught’s veterinarians in the 1930s and 1940s focused on the care for experimental animals as well as lending veterinary knowledge to problems in human medicine and public health. This gave way to a more direct focus on veterinary products after the Second World War. Connaught was motivated to enter the veterinary field in part to capitalize upon the growing market for veterinary medicines. It met with mixed success in this endeavour. Work was initially focused on livestock medicines and later expanded into products for companion animals, reflecting broader shifts in the veterinary profession and the economic value of animals during the 20th century.
Association of Serum LDL Cholesterol Level with Periodontitis among Patients Visiting a Tertiary-care Hospital
Authors: Sharma S , Lamsal M , Sharma SK , Niraula SR , Koirala B
Published: September 2018

Introduction: High low-density lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In recent years, some evidence has been presented that periodontitis,an infectious inflammatory condition of the periodontium, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. To further elucidate this association, we have studied the levels of LDL cholesterol, a known risk marker for cardiovascular disease, in a periodontally-diseased group.

Methods: The levels of serum LDL cholesterol in 47 subjects with mild to severe (clinical attachment loss equal to or greater than 1 mm) chronic generalized (at least 30% of teeth affected) periodontitis with the mean age of 42.21 ± 1.46 years were measured and compared with those obtained from 42 age (39.83 ± 0.94) and sex matched controls. Both groups were free from systemic illnesses.

Results: The mean serum LDL cholesterol in periodontitis patients was found to be signifi cantly higher (P < 0.001) as compared to that of the controls. The mean clinical attachment loss was positively correlated with serum LDL cholesterol (P < 0.01) and gingival index (P<0.05). The frequency of persons with pathologic values of LDL cholesterol was signifi cantly higher in periodontitis patients compared with that of the controls.

Conclusions: These results showed that high serum LDL cholesterol may be associated with periodontitis in healthy people. However, it is unclear whether periodontitis causes an increase in the levels of serum LDL or an increased LDL is a risk factor for both periodontitis and cardiovascular disease.

Keywords: Cardiovascular disease, LDL cholesterol, periodontitis.

Peritonitis in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis
Authors: Sharma S K , Chaurasia R K , Sijapati MJ , Thapa L , Ghimire M , Shrestha H , Acharya A , Khanal B
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION:

Access to hemodialysis is limited in Nepal due to geographical terrain and hemodialysis centers being mostly limited to major city. Therefore, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is likely to be a better option in Nepal. In 1998, CAPD was initiated in Nepal without success. High rate of peritonitis was cited for failure. Hot tropical climate and poor sense of hygiene among patients was thought to be responsible for the high rate of peritonitis. A new CPD program was started in 2002 in our institute. We reviewed the incidence of peritonitis and factors predisposing.

METHODS:

All chronic renal failure patients on CAPD since 2002 to 2007 were included in the study. They were followed up for complications and treatment outcome. Patients complicated with peritonitis (N=19) and patients without peritonitis (N=31) were compared.

RESULTS:

A total of 50 patients were enrolled and mean duration of dialysis was 12 month per patients (Total patients month=600). Twenty six episodes of peritonitis in 19 patients were recorded during this period. Fourteen episode of peritonitis were culture positive. Culture sterile peritonitis was recorded in 12 episodes. Low serum albumin was predisposing factors for peritonitis and peritonitis rate was higher in end stage disease related due to diabetes mellitus.

CONCLUSION:

Peritonitis rate was comparable in our new program. Thus peritonitis is not a limiting factor for growth of CAPD in Nepal. Hypoalbuminemic and diabetic patients are prone for CAPD related peritonitis.

Authors: Jha P , Das BKL , Shrestha S , Majhi S , Chandra L , Sharma S , Baral N
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION:

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major complications of Diabetes Mellitus characterized by persistent albuminuria, elevated arterial blood pressure, a relentless decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

METHODS:

In this study, urinary micro-albumin estimation was done in 177 diabetic patients. This study aims to ascertain association of glycemicstatus, lipid profile and proteinuria in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with nephropathy.

RESULTS:

Among 177 patients, 26 had frank proteinuria, 79 had micro-albuminuria and 72 were without proteinuria. Increased frequency ofproteinuria was seen in male than female. Micro-albuminuria and frank proteinuria was seen more in older age group. The multiple comparisons showed the significantly increased levels of urea, creatinine, fasting blood glucose in micro-albuminuria and overt proteinuria patients in comparison to without proteinuria. Glycated hemoglobin level was increased with the increasing age group particularly in overt proteinuric patients.

CONCLUSIONS:

The glycemic control, monitoring of lipid profile and early urinary protein estimation with better management may delay diabetic nephropathy or its further complications in diabetes mellitus. 

KEYWORDS: diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy, frank proteinuria, glycated hemoglobin, micro-albuminuria.

Authors: Jha A K , H P K , Jha J , Banthia P , Thakali K , Basnet B K
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION:

Breast Cancer is the second commonest cause of cancer death in women. Almost all women survive breast cancer if it is detected before it starts to spread. The aim of the study is to analyze the demographical profile, stage of presentation, histological type, and treatment modalities of breast cancer in a tertiary care setting.

METHODS:

Total 1141 cases of breast cancer had been followed retrospectively from 1999 to 2006 A.D. in a tertiary care center and their patterns were analyzed.

RESULTS:

The mean age of presentation of breast cancer was 47.30 +/- 11.57 years in female and 59.03 +/- 14.63 in male, 31 (2.1%) cases of breast cancer were male. There were 123 (10.78%) stage I, 281 (24.62%) stage II, 466 (40.84%) stage III, and 271 (23.75%) stage IV patients. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the commonest variety 610 (53.5%). Chemotherapy was the mainstay for treatment of breast cancer 341 (29.9%) followed by surgery 287 (25.2%).

CONCLUSIONS:

Breast cancer trend is rising with more in late and advanced stages, mostly due to lack of awareness. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma is the commonest variety. Chemotherapy is the most commonly used modality of treatment. Male breast cancer present late and is not so uncommon.

Keywords: breast cancer; chemotherapy; infiltrating ductal carcinoma; staging.

Safety and Efficacy of Misoprostol and Dinoprostone as Cervical Ripening Agents
Authors: Shakya R , Shrestha J , Thapa P
Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION:

The study compares safety and efficacy of misoprostol and dinoprostone as cervical ripening agents.

METHODS:

Patients with term, vertex, singleton pregnancy and Bishop score of 4 or less were randomly assigned to receive misoprostol pessary (n=35, 50 microg intravaginally) or dinoprostone gel (n=31, 0.5 mg intracervically) at 6 hourly intervals. If there were no progress in cervical dilatation or effective uterine contraction even after maximum dose, patients were taken for cesarean section. Patients who achieved Bishop's score more than 7 but the delivery was not progressing, were augmented with oxytocin drip.

RESULTS:

No uterine hyperstimulation was observed in both groups. However, abnormal fetal heart rate was observed in 3(8.6%) cases inmisoprostol group and 2 (6.5%) in dinoprostone group. There was no statistically significant difference in meconium passage in two groups. Apgar score less than 7 at 1 minute was seen in 6 (19.4%) and 11 (31.4%) neonates in dinoprostone and misoprostol group respectively. However Apgar score less than 7 at 5 minutes was found in only one neonate of dinoprostone treated patient. Both drugs were found to be equally effective in improving Bishops score with no significant difference in mean induction to delivery time. Cesarean section was done among 32.3% and 28.6% respectively in dinoprostone and misoprostol groups. There was significant reduction in the need for oxytocin augmentation in misoprostol (37.1%) group than in dinoprostone (67.7%) group.

CONCLUSIONS:

Vaginal misoprostol is an effective, safer and cheaper alternative to dinoprostone as a cervical ripening agent in underdeveloped countries.

Outcome of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Authors: Shrestha B , Baidya J L
Published: September 2018

NTRODUCTION:

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is an effective noninvasive method to treat urolithiasis. This study aims to evaluate itsoutcome and determine appropriate management strategies for urolithiasis.

METHODS:

It was a prospective study which included one hundred patients who underwent ESWL for the management of solitary urolithiasis during a period of eight months (December 2007-August 2008). Status of stone and complications were observed and managed accordingly within a period of six postoperative weeks.

RESULTS:

Out of 100 patients, 93% had complete clearance of stone by the end of six postoperative weeks. Seven percent of the patients required adjunct invasive intervention including open surgery in 3%. Number of sessions of ESWL was found to increase as the size of stone increased. However, in three patients stones were completely refractory to ESWL even after two consecutive sessions.

CONCLUSIONS:

ESWL is highly effective noninvasive modality in the management of urolithiasis in appropriately selected patients.

Authors: Ghartimagar Dilasma , Ghosh Arnab , Shrestha Manish Kiran , Talwar O P , Sathian Brijesh
Published: September 2018

Background and objective Hydatid disease is endemic in sheep and cattle-raising areas world wide. Its prevalence is high in Nepal. The study was carried out to determine the clinical, radiological and pathological presentations of hydatid disease.Method This was a retrospective study of all hydatid disease cases reported in Department of Pathology, from August 1996 to July 2010. All the clinical, radiological and pathological data were collected and collated.Result   A total of 51 cases of hydatidosis were studied. Patients presented with related symptoms in 47 cases, 92.16% with CI (84.78,99.54) and asymptomatic in 4 cases, 7.84% with CI (0.46, 15.22). Involvement of liver and lung was found in 35 cases (68.63%) and 10 cases (19.61%) respectively. Involvement of other organs like kidney, pelvis and broad ligament were seen in 6 of the cases.  29 cases, 56.86% with CI ( 43.2, 70.46) had solitary cyst while rest of the cases had multiloculated cyst. All cases had radiological correlation and histopathological confirmation. Conclusion Most cases presented with organ related vague symptoms, however it should be considered as a differential diagnosis especially in asymptomatic cases and cases with unusual sites. Imaging studies is useful in preoperative diagnosis and postoperative histopathology is confirmatory. A multi centric hospital based study will help to decrease the incidience.

Authors: Shrestha P , Sakamoto S , Shibukawa M , Kiura Y , Okazaki T , Kurisu K
Published: September 2018

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic disease with multiple pathologies that can affect every organ system of the body including central nervous system. Intracerebral aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are one of comparatively rarer manifestations of central nervous system SLE. Here we present a case of known SLE complicated by the rupture of intra cerebral aneurysm at basilar artery tip which was successfully treated with endovascular coiling.
