Technical challenges and benefits of photon counting detector computed tomography
Authors: Singh Priyanka , Verma Mamta
Published: July 2024

X-ray detector is the essential part of a computed tomography (CT) system that controls dose efficiency and image quality. All clinical CT scanners utilized scintillating detectors up until the first clinical photon-counting-detector (PCD) system was approved in 2021. These detectors do not record information about individual photons during the two-step detection process. PCDs, on the other hand, employ a single step process that transforms X-ray radiation straight into an electrical signal. This retains information on individual photons, allowing one to count the quantity of X-rays in various energy ranges. Better spatial resolution, reduced dosages of iodinated contrast material, enhanced iodine signal, enhanced radiation dose efficiency, and the lack of electronic noise are the main benefits of PCDs. PCDs with multiple energy thresholds are able to separate detected photons into two or more energy bins, allowing for the availability of energy-resolved data for each record. In the event of dual-source CT, this permits high pitch or high temporal resolution acquisitions in addition to high spatial resolution for tasks involving material quantification or classification. PCDCT imaging of anatomy, where excellent spatial resolution provides clinical benefit, is one of the most promising uses of the technology. Inner ear, bone, small blood artery, heart, and lung imaging are among them. Photon-counting CT will become the wave of the future for workhorse CT imaging systems. An overview of the PCDCT principle, possible clinical benefits, and limitations of conventional CT is provided in this review paper, along with potential future developments for this CT imaging technology.

Published: July 2024

Mitochondrial neuro gastrointestinal encephalopathy (MNGIE) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition caused mainly by thymidine phosphorylates (TP) deficiency and TYMP mutations. Gender equality in scientific publishing is crucial for fostering inclusive practices and promoting diversity in research. This research article conducted a bibliometric analysis using PubMed as the primary data source. The analysis focused on studying the trends and patterns of first author gender equality in the publication of MNGIE disease. The methodology involved data collection, article screening, gender determination using the Namsor app, statistical analysis using R software, and visualization of findings through graphs created with DataWrapper. Our study utilized PubMed as the primary data source, covering the period from 1993 to 2022, and included 224 articles. The findings revealed that 57.6% of first authors were male, while 42.4% were female. Furthermore, the analysis of gender trends based on countries revealed that the Netherlands had the most favorable gender ratio. It revealed a significant association present between the first author’s gender and country. Additionally, selected journals exhibited a favorable gender ratio, with a 1:1 female-to-male ratio in nine out of ten journals examined. ARIMA model predicted that by 2027, approximately 160 publications would have male whereas around 120 publications would have female first authors. Our study highlights the gender discrepancies in first authorship within the context of MNGIE publications and provides insights into the representation of women in medical research. Efforts should be made to address these inequalities and promote gender equality in scientific publishing.
A comprehensive review of binocular vision in myopia control
Authors: Srivastava Namrata , Gupta Deepak , Chandra Mahesh
Published: July 2024

Myopia is a growing problem worldwide and is particularly common among young people. Myopia is a disease that affects the retina responsible for detail in the middle eye and can lead to permanent vision loss. Myopia, a prevalent refractive error causing distant objects to appear blurred, is increasingly affecting global populations, particularly children. By 2050, it's projected that half the world's population will be myopic, largely due to genetic predispositions and environmental factors like excessive near work and limited outdoor activities. A promising approach to managing myopia is binocular vision training, which involves using both eyes to create a single, clear image, potentially slowing myopia progression. Understanding the benefits of this method is critical as we move forward, especially considering the surge in myopia cases during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased digital device use. Research underscores the importance of addressing lifestyle and promoting outdoor activities and mitigating the impact of near work can help manage myopia progression and associated binocular vision disorders. Binocular vision training shows promise for myopia control by enhancing eye coordination, potentially slowing progression. Key factors include accommodation, AC/A ratios, and phoria, which are essential for effective diagnostics and therapy. Recent research emphasizes a holistic assessment of these elements for precise management of myopia and related binocular vision disorders in children. Understanding the mechanisms and innovative approaches of binocular vision in controlling myopia, highlighting the significance of continuous research and patient education in improving eye health.

Authors: Azar Karina , Monje Silva Andrea , Rodríguez Chatruc Marisol , Andrade Gabriela , Demichelis Francisco ,   Equipos Consultores
Published: July 2024

El acceso al financiamiento no es equitativo entre hombres y mujeres, incluso desde la perspectiva empresarial. Contar con datos desagregados por sexo a nivel de empresas es relevante para entender mejor las brechas que se presentan entre empresas de hombres y de mujeres. Esta publicación presenta información novedosa, a partir de la aplicación de una encuesta a una muestra representativa de empresas en Uruguay, que expone la existencia de diferencias en el acceso al crédito y uso del mismo entre empresas de propiedad o lideradas por mujeres y por hombres. El estudio revela que, a pesar de que Uruguay tiene una participación relativamente alta de empresas de mujeres (46%), la mayoría de estas empresas (69%) no solicitó ningún tipo de préstamo en los últimos tres años. En cuanto al financiamiento bancario, el 22% de las empresas de hombres solicitó este tipo de financiamiento en comparación con el 15% de las empresas de mujeres. Dentro del universo del financiamiento no bancario, las empresas de mujeres recurren principalmente a préstamos personales en instituciones financieras no bancarias. Por otro lado, únicamente el 6% de las empresas de mujeres, frente al 20% de las de hombres, manifiesta haber tenido dificultades al momento de repagar sus créditos. En cuanto a temas no financieros, la encuesta muestra que las empresas de mujeres valoran, en mayor proporción que las de hombres, servicios como capacitación (32% vs. 28%) y asesoría (33% vs. 27%). Los hallazgos del estudio presentan información novedosa sobre el perfil financiero de las empresas de mujeres que puede ser utilizada por las instituciones financieras y los hacedores de política en el país y la región para informar programas o diseñar abordajes y productos más adecuados, que permitan lograr un mayor acceso al financiamiento y un entorno empresarial más inclusivo y equitativo.
Caracterización del potencial de contribución al desarrollo de las microempresas en Colombia
Authors: Ghezzi Piero , Peña Werner
Published: July 2024

En el presente documento se arguye que un porcentaje significativo de microempresas en Colombia podrían transformarse productivamente para empezar a participar de forma activa en cadenas de valor modernas. También queda claro que ello va a requerir de un conjunto de políticas públicas para pasar la valla de la calidad, donde pasar la valla y el éxito, como se definió antes, se mide precisamente en la inserción en cadenas de valor dinámicas y modernas. Esta definición relativamente precisa de “éxito” implica que la evaluación de impacto de estas políticas públicas puede medirse con el número de empresas que logran transformarse productivamente y “formalizarse”. El proceso de transformación suele durar entre algunos meses y un par de años, y el seguimiento y monitoreo es, en la práctica, indistinguible de la asistencia técnica que se les debe proveer. Además, este debe incluir mecanismos rápidos de corrección.

Se describen algunos aspectos sobre la nueva instrumentalización y elementos metodológicos én la conformación de Sistemas de Información en Biodiversidad (SIB). El uso de datos georreferidos con precisión a partir de vastas fuentes disponibles: colecciones de historia natural y literatura científica obligan al uso de bases da datos y Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG). La concep­tualización de SIB y SIG, con base en el uso de grandes bases de datos, han implicado modelación detallada y construcción de archivos de autoridad: catálogos exhaustivos de nomenclatura y sinoni­mia, listas bibliográficas completas y nomenclátores o gazeteros histórico-geográficos con localida­des y sus sinonimias ubicadas bajo un sistema de Geoposicionamiento Global (GPS en sus siglas inglesas) que se genera de una concepción geoesférica de la Tierra y su biota. Se explican algunos problemas en el desarrollo de los sistemas y en la construcción de las bases de datos bióticas: control de calidad de datos, por ejemplo. Se muestra que el uso de tales sistemas es fundamental para responder a numerosas preguntas de frontera en los actuales estudios de biodiversidad y bioconservación. En particular, se detallan algunas aplicaciones en biogeografía y su importancia para modelar distribuciones, contrastar e identificar áreas de conservación de endemismos y riqueza biótica, y su uso como herramienta en lo que denominamos faunfstica predictiva y experimental. Finalmente se destaca el proceso en cuanto a su relevancia a niveles nacional y regional.

Published: July 2024

A new promising direction for recycling the large-scale saponitecontaining waste from the JSC Severalmaz mining processing company is presented, the storage of which can negatively affect the ecological situation of the region and increases the risk of environmental pollution. It has been found that saponitecontaining material (SCM) in terms of MgO content can be considered as a medium-magnesian technogenic raw material for the production of magnesium cement. It has been shown that the main conditions for obtaining effective solutions based on saponite binder are as follows: the sealer is an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride at concentration of 8% and the water-to-solid ratio of 0.4. Cube samples were obtained based on a binder made from thermally modified saponite powder, taking into account the above factors, with a compressive strength of 5.78 MPa at density of 1600 kg/m3. It has been confirmed that the implementation of the above technological methods makes it possible to obtain structural thermal insulating concrete that meets the requirements of the relevant GOST.

Authors: Fornari Junior Celso Carlino Maria , Souza Julio Santos
Published: July 2024

As fibras vegetais são materiais abundantes e ecologicamente alinhadas com o meio ambiente, tanto na produção quanto no descarte final. São materiais promissores para o uso em aplicações de engenharia, podendo substituir os materiais convencionais e de fontes não renováveis, como por exemplo, a formação de compósitos. Para a formação de materiais compósitos de elevado desempenho é necessário que a compatibilidade entre os seus constituintes seja a máxima possível, de maneira a resultar em fortes interações químicas entre ambos. A fibra vegetal de coco na sua forma natural, apresenta uma morfologia típica que além de irregular é coberta por uma camada gordurosa, impedindo assim um possível contato entre a estrutura da fibra celulósica com outros materiais. Muitos tratamentos e processos foram estudados e apresentados na comunidade científica, resultando em modificações significativas para a formação de novos materiais. O tratamento com hidróxido de sódio, revelou que é possível a modificação parcial da estrutura externa da fibra e que também pode dissociar a fibra em nano estrutura pela solubilização da lignina. Esse trabalho, se dedicou a avaliar o processamento da fibra de coco em solução de hidróxido de sódio e moinho de bolas, de forma a modificar as condições da fibra vegetal. Os resultados revelaram que, a depender o tempo de processamento, ocorre a modificação parcial da fibra, com a modificação na cor e formação de fibrilas. As fibrilas são prolongamentos ramificados que, podem aumentar as condições de contato com novos matérias.

RELEASE FROM CRIMINAL LIABILITY (CRIMINAL CASE TERMINATION): A LAW ENFORCER'S RIGHT OR OBLIGATION?
Authors: Vdovtsev Pavel V. ,   Senior Lecturer of the Department of Criminal Law, Criminology and Criminal Procedure
Published: July 2024

The mechanism of release from criminal liability is based on the law enforcer's right, discretion or obligation to apply a certain ground. The question of whether each of the above corresponds to the mechanism set out in the law is a widely discussed subject of legal publications. Thus, disputes over the nature of discretionary grounds for release began long ago, beliefs that they should be transferred to the category of imperative ones are expressed. The article proves that such approach is wrong as it fails to consider the nature of a substantive criminal relation based on the public danger of the act that caused it.

This case report highlights the rare occurrence of acute pancreatitis in a patient exhibiting normal lipase levels. The patient presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and fever. Laboratory tests indicated an acute inflammatory process but a negative lipase value. The diagnosis was established by a CT scan showing necrotizing pancreatic changes with elevated carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) levels, suggesting alcohol as the etiology. Management involved supportive care, aggressive fluid resuscitation, nutritional support, and empirical antibiotic therapy, which led to clinical improvement. This case emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive clinical assessment beyond standard biochemical markers in diagnosing and managing pancreatitis.
Stacking Approach for Classification of Multiclass Dry Beans

Published: July 2024

Background: The most frequently cultivated edible legume crop in the world is Dry Beans (DB), which exhibit high genetic diversity. The impact of seed quality on crop production is undeniable. Seed classification is essential for production and marketing to provide building blocks for sustainable agricultural systems. With regard to big production numbers, traditional methods for classifying seed quality have flaws, including complicated processes, poor precision and sluggish inspection. Rapid and high throughput solutions are provided by automatic categorization algorithms based on machine learning and computer vision. Modern automatic classification models have made significant strides, yet there is still room for improvement by adding new methods. Since crop production is in the form of population rather than a single variation, the main goal of this study is to offer a technique for getting homogeneous dry bean variants. Although numerous intelligent models have been presented, most rely on a single classifier, which makes them unable to handle noisy and unbalanced data and can cause overfitting. Methods: To reduce bias and variance and avoid overfitting a single classifier-based model, this study provides an ensemble-based prediction model combining pertinent attributes and a simple stacking ensemble technique, Xtreme Stacking Prediction of Dry Beams (X-SPDB). The forecast is made using the proposed X-SPDB, which incorporates several assumptions. Result: Comparisons are made between the proposed X-SPDB’s performance and simple Decision Tree, SVM, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, SVM, Logistic Regression and SVM with XGBoost.

Background: Yard long bean despite being highly nutritive summer legume vegetable crop, it is not cultivated on large scale due to seasonal constraints with progressing research activities, Tamil Nadu is yet to came up with a suitable commercial variety of yard long bean with higher yield and superior pod quality. Considering this, the present study with 30 yard long bean germplasm accessions was undertaken to estimate the genetic parameters and deciphering the extent of genetic divergence for nine quantitative traits in yard long bean. Methods: The genetic material comprising 30 different sources of germplasm accessions were evaluated for various quantitative traits in randomized block design (RBD) with triplicate replication at the Garden land, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University during 2022. TNAUSTAT and R Software has been used for data analysis. Result: Analysis of variance exhibited significant differences among the accessions for all the nine quantitative traits indicating the presence of genetic variability. The magnitude of high phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation was obtained for all the traits except days to maturity and days to fifty per cent flowering. High heritability coupled with genetic advance per cent as mean was observed for pod yield per plant followed by number of pods per plant, test weight, pod girth, number of seeds per pod, plant height and pod length indicating the predominance of additive gene action. Direct selection for above indicate traits could be valuable for yield improvement programme. Further, genetic divergence analysis revealed that seven clusters could be identified from 30 genotypes. The cluster I was largest having twelve genotypes. The maximum inter cluster distance was found between cluster I and cluster VII followed by cluster I and IV and the intra cluster distance was noted in cluster III followed by cluster I. Among the yield contributing traits, maximum contribution towards genetic divergence existed for pod length followed by test weight, days to maturity and pod yield per plant. Hence, hybridization between cluster VII (IC-630381), V (IC-630379), IV (IC-630383) and I (IC-626143) could be utilized for superior recombinants with desirable traits in segregating generations of yard long bean.

Authors: Alshehri Khulud Mohammed
Published: July 2024

Background: In advanced cirrhotic conditions, hepatorenal syndrome detrimentally affects renal function. Interest has grown in propolis for its cytoprotective properties against various exogenous agents. This study evaluates the efficacy of Saudi propolis extracts in mitigating hepatorenal toxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride in mice. Methods: Thirty-two male Swiss Albino mice were divided into four groups: a Control (-) group receiving distilled water; a Control (+) group subjected to intraperitoneal CCl4 at 0.5 mL/kg (20% v/v in corn oil) on day 6; a Standard group treated daily with silymarin at 200 mg/kg and a group given an oral dose of aqueous propolis extract (APE) at 8.4 mg/kg. Result: Histological and biochemical analyses confirm propolis extract’s role in preventing hepatocyte apoptosis and reducing inflammatory infiltrates in kidney tissues, improving the histological appearance of hepatic and renal tissues with fewer fibrotic changes. The application of immunohistochemistry, along with reductions in anti-apoptotic proteins such as BCL-2 and p53, supports these findings, highlighting the antioxidant potential of Saudi propolis extracts in addressing hepatorenal toxicity.
