Emerging Technologies for Fluorescence-Based Optical Test Strip Readers
Authors: AKSOY Seda , DULDA Ayşe , ERTAŞ Gökhan
Published: March 2023

Fluorescence-based optical test strip readers are used to detect and quantify fluorescent signals from immunoassay test strips in medicine, especially for point-of-care applications. The design of optical systems including light sources and detection systems in these devices is not only indispensable but also the most critical part for specific detection applications. This study aims to provide detailed information about fluorescence-based optical test strip readers, existing and emerging technologies, and their contributions to the design of the device. The most commonly used technologies of light sources and detection systems have been discussed and compared for the ideal design. Arc and Xenon lamps may not be appropriate for portable and low-cost devices as they are larger and more costly when compared to LEDs and laser diodes. Photodiodes and CMOS detectors can be used for the design of low-cost, portable fluorescence-based optical test strip readers as they are cheaper and smaller in size when compared to CCDs and PMTs. Both light source and detector should be chosen according to the application priorities and spectral characteristics of the fluorescent molecule by integrating them with proper optical elements like filters, mirrors, etc. This study contributes to the people who are interested in the design of fluorescence-based optical test strip readers as it serves as a guideline for the optical test strip reader systems.
Time Series and Data Science Preprocessing Approaches for Earthquake Analysis

Published: March 2023

Time series are frequently used today to analyze data that changes over time and to predict future trends. Usage areas of time series data include many applications such as financial market forecasts, weather forecasts, sales forecasts, medical diagnostics and stock management. Among the methods, there are techniques such as autoregressive integration, moving average, long-short-term memory neural network, time series condensation, wavelet transform and Frequency Domain. These techniques are chosen depending on the characteristics of the time series data and their intended use. For example, the ARIMA model is used for variable variance and non-stationary time series, while the LSTM model may be more suitable for capturing long-term dependencies. In this article, it has been tried to prove that time series based artificial intelligence systems can be built on fault movements, which are very difficult to predict on earthquake time series data, and it is quite possible to get useful results. In particular, deep learning methods are among the prominent methods in the article. Deep learning methods are used to detect complex structures and analyze large datasets to produce accurate results. These methods include multilayer perceptrons, long-short-term memory neural network, and radial-based function network. It is also emphasized that factors such as the selection of features used in earthquake prediction, data preprocessing, feature engineering and correct model selection are also important. As a result, the use of artificial intelligence techniques on earthquake time series data has great potential in estimating earthquake risk. Deep learning methods perform better, especially for large datasets, and more accurate results can be obtained with the right model selection. However, factors such as data preprocessing and feature selection also need to be considered.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare rocuronium to succinylcholine in adult patients undergoing elective surgery using two different doses of 0.6 mg/kg and 0.9 mg/kg for rapid sequence endotracheal intubation.

Methodology: Total of 90 cases were randomly divided into three groups of 30 in each. Group S was intubated with 1.5 mg/kg body weight succinylcholine chloride, group R1 intubated with 0.6 mg/kg body weight rocuronium bromide, and group R2 was intubated with 0.9 mg/kg body weight rocuronium bromide.

Results: 90% in group S, 53.33% in group R1, and 76.67% in group R2 cases had excellent intubating conditions. The onset time of group S was significantly shorter than that of group R2 and group R1 doses. There was statistical significance difference observed among group S, group R1, and group R2 regarding clinical onset of action (45.58±4.198, 56.38±5.032, and 52.59±3.966 seconds).  Group S, group R1, and group R2 had mean duration of action of 5.24±1.453, 23.96±2.14, and 43.18±2.12 minutes respectively. In group R1 and group R2, the mean heart rates were increased by 47.1% and 33.9%, and mean arterial pressure increased by 28.56% and 24.92% observed one min after intubation, and returned to preinduction levels after 5 minutes. In all three groups, no significant side effects were observed.

Conclusion: Rocuronium at 0.9 mg/kg dose is preferable and alternative to succinylcholine in cases where succinylcholine is contraindicated

Introduction: Post-operative pain management is crucial and patients can experience moderate to severe pain after surgery. The aims of this study were to assess the conformity to guidelines of analgesic prescription after major surgeries and evaluate the different predictors of non-conformity.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 497 hospitalized patients undergoing major surgeries between November 2018 and June 2019 using the data from their medical charts.
Results: In total, 227 patients had a previous medical history. A significant relationship was noted between conformity, age, and length of stay where patients older than 65 had a higher degree of non-conformity compared to younger patients. Almost 90% of the analgesic were conforming in terms of dosage, treatment duration, choice and contraindication.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of adequate pain management and its influence on the quality of life of patients, as well as the importance of age, comorbidities and pain intensity as predictors to reach a higher level of conformity.

Considering the high frequency of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints and the constant growth of morbidity, the improvement of treatment conservative approaches is an urgent task of modern medicine.

Background: to evaluate the effectiveness of using Artro-Patch (3 % hyaluronic acid solution, 3 ml) in patients with stage II knee osteoarthritis and the need to perform preliminary aspiration of arthritic fluid before intraarticular injection.

Materials and methods. 60 patients with stage II knee osteoarthritis who were treated with the use of Artro-Patch (3 % hyaluronic acid solution, 3 ml) were examined. The average age is 45.56 ± 8.61 years. The group includes 38 (63.33 %) women and 22 (36.67 %) men. Among them 2 groups were formed. Patients of group 1 (n = 30) received intra-articular injection of Artro-Patch. Patients of group 2 (n = 30) were injected with Artro-Patch with prior aspiration of arthritic synovial fluid. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the WOMAC questionnaire at admission, 30 days, and 90 days after the procedure. The StatSoft STATISTICA 13 program was used for statistical analysis. The probability of an error-free forecast was set at p < 0.05.

Results. As a result of using Artro-Patch in patients with stage II knee osteoarthritis, it was possible to achieve a reliable improvement of all clinical indicators determined by the WOMAC questionnaire. It has been proven that performing a preliminary aspira-tion of arthritic fluid before intra-articular injection of Artro-Patch leads to the development of a more stable and better clinical result at 30 days, with subsequent positive dynamics up to 90 days of observation.

Conclusions. Thus, the high effectiveness of using Artro-Patch drug in the treatment of stage II knee osteoarthritis has been proven. To achieve a stable and better clinical result, it is recommended to perform a preliminary aspiration of arthritic fluid before intra-articular injection of the drug.

Authors: Bondarieva T
Published: March 2023

The article analyzes the thanatological motive and terminal conditions in fiction and web literature in an interdisciplinary context. Features of the image of death and various mediocre conditions in the web literature on the example of the internet novel “The Age of Glory and Hope” by Yevhenii Litvak are considered. The textual analysis revealed that web literature is more distributed, so the image of clinical death, predagonism, agony, etc. in the text of internet works may have a broader and more diverse semantic load than traditional fiction. It was found that death as a concept is represented by the following interpretations: euthanatic killing of some heroes by others, senseless suicide for dramatic plot twists, fair punishment and self-sacrifice for others and just death for fun. All these variations perform their artistic function in the text, while based on certain medical principles, which is expressed in the descriptions symptoms elements of the terminal conditions and death.
