Intra-abdominal Pressure as a Prognostic Factor in Severe Acute Pancreatitis
Authors: Popuri Madan , Sistla VPL Chandrakumar
Published: May 2022

Objective:To assess the prognostic value of Intra-abdominal Pressure in severe acute pancreatitis, compare it to APACHE II, to determine when to intervene based on intra abdominal pressure.

Materials and Methods:We studied the role of intra-abdominal pressure measurement as a prognostic index and its applicability to determine the timing of intervention in cases of severe acute pancreatitis as a prospective cohort study from 2010- 2012, at Kamineni Hospital, L.B Nagar, Hyderabad. All patients who were admitted with severe acute pancreatitis and consented to take part in the study were enrolled. All patients were evaluated clinically, radiologically, biochemically and by the prognostic indices – APACHE II, Ranson criteria and intra-abdominal pressure measurement. A total of 55 patients were enrolled in this study. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured by intravesical technique using a Foley catheter.Intra-abdominal pressure was measured every 12 hours. Within 24 hours of admission, APACHE II score was obtained. Multivariate analysis was utilised for statistics.

Results:Males comprised 73% of study population. Mean age was 41.23± 13.74 years (17- 83 years). Ten patients (18.81%) died. Among the non-survivors, the intra-abdominal pressure (20.1± 3.1073 Vs 8.97± 4.39) and the APACHE II (17.5 ±4.09 Vs3.93 ±4.345),were significantly greater, P value <0.0001. The AUC for intra-abdominal pressureat 24 hours and at 72 hours was >0.7, which is highly significant. The sensitivity for intra-abdominal pressure(>13 mm Hg) at 72 hours as a marker for mortality was 100%.

Conclusion:The Intra-abdominal pressure monitoring is rapid, reproducible, inexpensive and minimally invasive, and can be used as a marker of the severity and prognosis of severe acute pancreatitis. Intra-abdominal pressure could potentially be used to guide the timing of intervention. Compared to APACHE II, which is inclusive of multiple parameters, intra-abdominal pressure can serve the same purpose as a single prognostic index. Further, we recommend a large, multicentric studies to conclusively establish the predictive power of intra-abdominal pressure in acute pancreatitis and whether interventions known to reduce intra-abdominal pressure, can alter the ultimate outcome.

Authors: Wong K. S. , Salleh Z.
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we study the dynamical properties of set-valued dynamical systems. Specifically, we focus on the sensitivity, transitivity and mixing of set-valued dynamical systems. Under the setting of set-valued case, we define sensitivity and investigate its properties. We also study the transitivity and mixing of set-valued dynamical systems that have been defined. We show that both transitivity and mixing are invariant under topological conjugacy. We also discuss some implication results on the product set-valued function constructed from two different set-valued functions equipped with various transitivity and mixing conditions.

Published: May 2022

We present, major element geochemical data for ilmenite grains obtained from heavy mineral concentrate of diamondiferous Majhgawan kimberlite clan diatreme in Central Indian Diamond Province (CIDP) in Panna District of Madhya Pradesh, India. The chemical composition of 148 ilmenite grains suggests different compositional trends when plotted over “Haggerty's parabola” and as seen in MgO-Cr2O3 bivariant plots. The study indicates that the ilmenite crystallized in three stages: the first stage where Cr - poor ilmenite is crystallized from protokimberlitic or kimberlitic melt and forms the base of Haggerty's parabola on MgO-Cr2O3 plots; the second stage ilmenite is rich in MgO and Cr2O3 -represented by left branch of Haggerty’s parabola-might have formed by interaction between melt and lithosphere; the third stage ilmenite is formed by sub-solidus recrystallization in an evolved kimberlite melt due to oxidation and is reflected in the right branch of Haggerty’s parabola in MgO-Cr2O3 plots. The various trends in the ilmenite composition from Majhgawan pipe are attributed to conditions prevailing during ilmenite crystallization in a kimberlite melt ascending through the lithospheric mantle. These geochemical features indicate a genetic link between ilmenite and the host kimberlite melt.
A Noise-Resilient Framework for Automatic COVID-19 Pneumonia Lesions Segmentation from CT Images
Authors: Mrs. Komal Katore  , Prof. Sachin Thanekar
Published: May 2022

The coronavirus disease pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) is sweeping the globe. Medical imaging, such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT), is critical in the global fight against COVID-19, and newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are enhancing the power of imaging tools and assisting medical specialists. We examine the rapid responses to COVID-19 in the medical imaging community (enabled by AI).Although deep learning algorithms have shown promise in a number of areas, they continue to struggle with noisy-labeled images throughout the training phase. Given that the quality of annotation is inextricably linked to a high level of knowledge, the issue is even more pressing in the medical picture arena. It’s still a big difficulty to get rid of the noise from noisy labels for segmentation tasks without adding more annotations. As a noninvasive imaging technique, computed tomography (CT) can detect certain lung symptoms linked with COVID-19. As a result, CT could be a useful tool for early detection and diagnosis of COVID-19. Despite its benefits, CT may have some imaging characteristics in common with COVID-19 and other kinds of pneumonia, making differentiation challenging. Due to its high power of feature extraction, artificial intelligence (AI) leveraging deep learning technology has recently proven remarkable success in the medical imaging arena. Deep learning was used to detect and distinguish between bacterial and viral pneumonia in paediatric chest radiographs.For the segmentation challenge, we present a novel noise-resistant architecture for learning from noisy labels. To better deal with lesions of varied scales and appearances, we present a unique COVID-19 Pneumonia Lesion segmentation network (COPLE-Net), which is a generalisation of Dice loss for segmentation and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) loss for robustness against noise. The noise-resistant Dice loss and COPLENet are combined with an adaptive self-ensembling architecture for training, in which a student model’s Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is employed as a teacher model that is adaptively updated by suppressing the contribution. In the context of learning from noisy labels for COVID-19 pneumonia lesion segmentation, our system with adaptive self-ensembling outperforms a regular training method and outperforms existing noise-robust training approaches.

A successful marketing activity requires attracting high social popularity to their contents, since higher popularity usually indicates stronger influence, more fame and higher revenue. In this, we focus on the question of how to improve popularity of videos sharing on websites like YouTube in mobile computing environment. Obviously, composing high quality titles and tags is beneficial for viewers to discover videos of their interests and increase their tendency to watch more videos. However, it is not an easy task for uploaders,which is especially true since the screen is tight for most mobile devices. To this end, this proposes a novel hybrid method based on multi-modal content analysis that recommends keywords for video uploaders to compose titles and tags of their videos and then to gain higher popularity. The method generates candidate keywords by integrating techniques of textual semantic analysis of original tags and recognition of video content. On one hand, taking the original keywords of a video as input, the method obtains most relevant words from WordNet and related video titles gathered from the three top video sharing sites (YouTube, Yahoo Video, Bing Video). On the other hand, through recognizing video content with deep learning technology,the method extracts the entity name of video content as candidate keywords. Finally, a TFSIM algorithm is proposed to rank the candidate keywords and the most relevant keywords are recommended to uploaders for optimizing the titles and tags of their videos

Fire incident is a disaster that can potentially cause the loss of life, property damage and permanent disability to the affected victim. They can also suffer from prolonged psychological and trauma. Fire fighters are primarily tasked to handle fire incidents, but they are often exposed to higher risks when extinguishing fire, especially in hazardous environments such as in nuclear power plant, petroleum refineries and gas tanks. They are also faced with other difficulties, particularly if fire occurs in narrow and restricted places, as it is necessary to explore the ruins of buildings and obstacles to extinguish the fire and save the victim. With high barriers and risks in fire extinguishment operations, technological innovations can be utilized to assist firefighting. Therefore, this paper presents the development of a firefighting robot dubbed that can extinguish fire without the need for fire fighters to be exposed to unnecessary danger..

Development of the NACE MR-01-75 and NACE TM-01-77 Standards, Part I: Field Observations and Metallurgical Factors
Authors: Caldwell Eric C. , Sherar Brent W.A , Kane Russell D. , Ellis Peter F.
Published: May 2022

This is Part I of a two-part series intended to narrate the “lost” history leading up to the publication of the first Material Requirement (MR-01-75) standard prepared by NACE (now AMPP) and its subsequent auxiliary standards. Part I covers field observations and describe the metallurgical issues that were being investigated in support of NACE T-1B and 1F committees to develop a sour service materials standard for carbon and low alloy steels. Part II focuses on the rationale behind the use of accelerated laboratory test procedures and their development to differentiate metallurgical behavior in sour environments at near atmospheric pressure. The original sulfide stress cracking test methodologies would later be codified as a Test Method in NACE TM-01-77 (1977). A review of the historical events culminating in NACE MR-01-75 will provide a technical basis for the Rockwell C 22 (HRC 22) hardness limit, information on the 1% Ni restriction, and heat-treatment requirements for carbon and low alloy steels. By recalling the origins of the MR-01-75 standard, these papers will also provide justification for their continued existence when designing modern, oil and gas wells and flowlines. As the oil and gas industry continues to innovate and mature, it is imperative to maintain knowledge of the origins of the NACE MR-01-75 standard and its intended purpose.
Improvement of Optical Setup of the Novel 2D Single-Shot Comb-Based Interferometer for High-Resolution Measurement
Authors:   Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saitama University, Saitama, Japan,   School of Mechanical Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam"
Published: May 2022

The novel 2D single-shot comb-based interferometer introduces a massive potential for inline inspection in the industrial chain. The system's advantages are based on a novel optical setup, which combines a new customized infrared pseudo comb light source with a reflected blaze grating acting as a spatial phase modulator. The optical comb source with multiple comb order introduces the system's fantastic ability to extend the measurement range far from the traditional interferometers. At the same time, the grating modulates the incident light into a 2D reference with a delaying optical path difference to provide a real-time profilometry and tomography ability. This research analyzes the optical design to optimize the specifications of the grating and optical imaging lens. Optimized optics specification improves the profilometry resolution up to the micrometer scale, which was considered impossible in the previous system. Additionally, using the unique infrared pseudo frequency sweeping laser as the comb source, the system minimizes the natural speckle-noise effect from the optics, which is the barrier of all typically visible measurement systems. The experiment was successfully conducted to calibrate the new specifications of the system, followed by the experiment measuring the only 1 μm displacement of the mirror to discover the profilometry resolution improvement. The system's ability to measure the scattering sample is also investigated by the experiment inspecting the profile of a Japanese 10-yen coin. The research proves the 2D single-shot comb-based interferometer is one of the most powerful optical devices for industrial inline inspection.

Microhabitat Characteristics and Management of the Trinity Bristle Snail in the Greater Trinity Basin of Northern California
Authors: Sullivan Robert M
Published: May 2022

Microhabitat assessment of the Trinity bristle snail (Monadenia setosa), a state threatened species, was conducted at 88 randomly selected sites throughout its known geographic range in northern California. Nineteen abiotic and biotic environmental variables were measured for each site. Results of univariate and multivariate analyses indicate that sample sites were dominated by physical parameters of air and soil temperature, and elevation and exposure in association with habitat structure consisting of the presence, size, and nearness of large woody debris, rocky surface and subsurface structure, and riparian stream corridors, respectively. No individual or small suite of attributes defined microhabitat suitability for the species based on site-specific characteristics. Instead, a robust combination of physical and biological variables was key to the distribution of specimens at the population-level, most of which were allied with structural elements of the sample site.

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo contribuir con la discusión sobre la posible implantación de herramientas tecnológicas para mejorar el proceso pedagógico en las instituciones educativas de la provincia de Esmeraldas. Este artículo ha sido derivado del Programa de vinculación con la Sociedad FACAD: La Ruleta como Herramienta Educativa, llevado a cabo por los Docentes y estudiantes de la Facultad de Pedagogía de la UTLVT al evidenciar las limitaciones en el conocimiento de las TIC en relación al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en los ambientes pedagógicos y la utilización de las herramientas didácticas y lúdicas en la interacción en el sistema educativo. El principal método utilizado fue el documental descriptivo, mediante el análisis de literatura especializada y descripción del status quo. Como conclusiones generales se percibe que además del gran potencial que las tecnologías brindan para mejorar los entornos educativos, es posible que los estudiantes estén motivados realizar actividades incorporando tecnologías mayor frecuencia, por lo tanto, las instituciones deben fundamentar su práctica en la implementación de portales digitales a los cuales la población educativa tenga acceso.

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la incidencia de una gestión educativa innovadora en los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje de los niños de la escuela Pedro Arias González de una forma inclusiva, de calidad y con creatividad. Siendo una investigación no experimental, aplicada, con diseño observacional que permitió determinar las diferentes características de forma descriptiva, de enfoque cualitativo y transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada el directivo, DECE y 28 docentes de la institución, como instrumento se aplicó la entrevista formada por 12 ítems representativos sobre la gestión educativa innovadora que efectúan dentro de la institución y su influencia en relación con la educación inclusiva. Los resultados indicaron que las acciones que se efectúan en el centro que permiten la permanencia de los estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales asociadas o no a la discapacidad necesitan el cambio de pensamiento de los docentes hacia una educación inclusiva de calidad, debido a que existen falencias en la práctica de aula ante estudiantes con dificultades en su aprendizaje y la falta de recurso didáctico para atender dichas necesidades dentro de la escuela. Concluyendo que la gestión educativa innovadora impacta positivamente a los procesos de enseñanza inclusivos, debido a que ayuda a los estudiantes a la obtención de un aprendizaje de calidad minimizando las barreras físicas, sociales, mentales valorizando la diversidad humana fortaleciendo intrínsecamente en la institución la aceptación de las diferencias individuales, donde se pueda convivir de una forma armónica a fin de contribuir a la construcción de un mundo de oportunidades reales.

Published: May 2022

Computational antitrust is gaining high attention from competition authorities worldwide. In this paper, we examine the promises and downsides of merger simulations as a tool of computational antitrust. In doing this, we first provide an overview of the working mechanisms of the merger simulation tool and then evaluate its implementation in competition policy, including the question of whether more sophisticated technologies would change analysis. We consider perspectives from industrial economics, institutional economics, and political economics. The results of the analysis show that institutions matter to reap considerable prospects of merger simulations as a computational antitrust tool.

INFLUENCE OF THE CHARACTER OF TRAUMATIC DAMAGE ON THE DEGREE OF EXPRESSION OF MUSCLE TISSUE INJURY OF THE LIMB
Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, D.G. Tereshko
Published: May 2022

The article presents the results of a study on the assessment of the incidence of clinically significant muscle damage in the structure of limb injuries. A retrospective analysis of medical records of inpatients with traumatic lesions of the muscles of the limb in the period from 2017 to 2019 was carried out. Taking into account the inclusion criteria, 245 patients with limb muscle injuries of varying severity were selected for the study. High-energy damage was detected in 111 cases (45.3%), low-energy damage was detected in 134 cases (54.7%). The degree of damage to muscle tissue was assessed. Muscle damage within one muscle sheath was considered minimal, and damage within two muscle sheaths was moderate. Severe muscle damage was characterized by the destruction of striated muscles in more than two fascial sheaths. Minimal damage was classified as clinically insignificant, moderate and severe to clinically significant muscle damage. Clinically significant muscle damage occurred in 62.9% of cases. The analysis took into account the average duration of treatment, the need for fasciotomy, complications and death. The presence of clinically significant muscle damage did not affect the increase in mortality rates, but led to a significant increase in the number of complications, additional surgical interventions, and an increase in the duration of patient treatment.

The article presents its own data and summarizes the literature data concerning the causes, methods of diagnosis and treatment of fetal growth restriction. Chronic placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction are relevant obstetric problems that require a careful approach to diagnosis, follow-up dynamics, treatment and collegial resolution for choosing a strategy for the method and timing of delivery. According to the opinion of researchers, IGR is diagnosed on the basis of a decrease in the body weight of a particular fetus in comparison to the average weight corresponding to the gestational age. A comparative analysis of the reliability of diagnoses of chronic placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction at the outpatient and inpatient clinics was carried out. It has been shown that the introduction of the INTERGROWTH-21st scale into the clinical practice allows not only to punctually diagnose fetal growth restriction, but also to a certain extent reduce the frequency of unjustified diagnosis of IGR and associated with it early operative delivery.

The article discusses the main approaches to the observation of women with epilepsy, focuses on the feasibility of planning pregnancy, the importance of pregravid preparation, including the comprehensive observation of doctors of related specialties, the competent choice of antiepileptic therapy and the selection of an effective dosage of the drug. According to modern studies, transferring women to monotherapy with the minimum effective dosage significantly reduces the risk of pregnancy complications and the occurrence of congenital malformations of the fetus. The article also indicates that with a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach and adherence to the recommendations of doctors, delivery of women with epilepsy through the vaginal birth canal is not contraindicated, given the compensated condition of the mother and fetus. In the postpartum period, this group of women is recommended to pay due attention to the sleep and wakefulness regimen in order to prevent the occurrence of epileptic seizures. In this connection, the issues of quality and hygiene of sleep in the postpartum period and the influence of sleep and wakefulness on the course of epilepsy remain controversial, therefore our research in these areas continues.
