OBJECTIVE

A growing number of studies are showing positive effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the caudal zona incerta (cZi) in various tremor disorders, as well as motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The focus of the present study was to evaluate short- and long-term cognitive effects of bilateral cZi DBS in patients with PD.

METHODS

Twenty-five nondemented patients with advanced PD were recruited to participate in a randomized trial of cZi DBS versus best medical treatment (BMT). The patients in the BMT group were offered surgery after 6 months. Neuropsychological evaluations focusing on assessing verbal and visuospatial memory, attention, and executive function were conducted at baseline and at 6 and 24 months after surgery. Self-reported measures of depression, anxiety, and change in “frontal” behaviors were also completed at all assessment points.

RESULTS

Bilateral cZi DBS in patients with PD generated few adverse cognitive effects. At the short-term follow-up after 6 months, no differences were found between patients randomized to BMT and patients randomized to DBS with regard to most of the cognitive domains assessed. A transient improvement in anxiety was, however, found in the surgical group. At the long-term follow-up 24 months after cZi DBS, no major changes in global cognitive functioning were found, although a decline in attention and self-reported executive function was noted.

CONCLUSIONS

With the exception of a decline in attention and self-reported executive function, bilateral cZi DBS for PD in appropriately screened patients appears to be generally safe with regard to cognitive function, both in the short- and long-term perspective.

OBJECTIVE

Adoption of endovascular treatment (EVT) and other advances in aneurysm care have shifted practice patterns of cerebral aneurysm treatment over the past 2 decades in the US. The objective of this study was to determine whether resulting trends in volumes, outcomes, and complications have matured in general practice or continue to evolve.

METHODS

Data were obtained from the National Inpatient Sample from 1993 to 2015. ICD-9 codes were used to estimate annual volumes, outcomes, and complications following treatment of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to estimate risk ratios for complications and outcomes. Trends in time were assessed utilizing annual percentage change (APC).

RESULTS

The authors found a nearly 5-fold increase in annual admissions with diagnoses of unruptured aneurysms, whereas SAH volume increased less than 50%. Clipping ruptured aneurysms steadily declined (APC −0.86%, p = 0.69 until 1999, then −6.22%, p < 0.001 thereafter), whereas clipping unruptured aneurysms slightly increased (APC 2.02%, p < 0.001). EVT tripled in 2002–2004 and steadily increased thereafter (APC 7.22%, p < 0.001 and 5.85%, p = 0.01 for unruptured and ruptured aneurysms, respectively). Despite a 3-fold increase in both diagnosis and treatment of unruptured aneurysms, the incidence of SAH remained steady at 12 per 100,000 persons per year (APC 0.04%, p = 0.83). In contrast, SAH severity increased over time, as did patient age and comorbidities (all p < 0.001). SAH led to nonroutine discharge more frequently over time after both EVT and clipping (APC 1.24% and 1.10%, respectively), although mortality decreased during the same time (APC −2.48% and −1.44%, respectively). Complications were more frequent after clipping than EVT, but this differential risk diminished during the study period and was less perceptible in ruptured aneurysms. The proportion of patients discharged home after treatment of unruptured aneurysms was significantly lower (p < 0.001) after clipping (69.3%–79.5%) than EVT (88.3%–93.3%); both proportions changed minimally since 1998 (APC −0.39%, p = 0.02, and APC −0.11%, p = 0.14, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

EVT volume markedly increased for ruptured and unruptured aneurysms from 1993 to 2015, whereas clipping decreased for ruptured and slightly increased for unruptured aneurysms. The incidence of SAH remained unchanged despite increased diagnosis and treatment of unruptured aneurysms. In ruptured aneurysms, SAH severity has increased over time, as have age, comorbidities, and nonroutine discharges. In contrast, routine discharge after treatment of unruptured aneurysms remains largely unchanged since 1998 and remains lower with clipping.

Published: February 2020

As dentists, we must disinfect and clean all equipment’s and countertops between patients with a recommended hospital-grade bactericidal product.  Non visible blood and saliva does not mean it is absent on environmental surfaces. Blood and saliva are present throughout dental treatment. If a patient becomes ill as a result of an exposure to a pathogen or a bacterium that is later found in our dental office surfaces, the employer and/or dentist is at risk of being responsible for the patient's illness and associated compensatory damages. Understanding and recognizing the risk of disease will drastically reduce patient illness, practice liability and employee illnesses. Dentists cannot pretend that this is only a theoretical problem. Therefore the dental community needs to stay updated of the rapidly evolving standard of care and do its best to comply with the standard of care in daily practice.

A sign of acute inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Kota Baru and Kalibaru subdistricts, Bekasi
Authors: Amelia Ria , Arshita Neni , Fajriah Siti Nur , Astuti Chandra Vina Dwi , Fitri Islamiyah Nurul
Published: February 2020

Background: During the development of chronic type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), inflammatory signals are elevated which can cause microvascular damage. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is one of acute phase proteins stimulated under inflammatory conditions and creatinine is a waste product used to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Both of these compounds are considered as biomarkers of acute kidney damage among people with T2DM.  

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between CRP and creatinine levels in T2DM patients.

Methods: We conducted analytic cross-sectional study in Kota Baru and Kalibaru sub-districts, Bekasi, from January until February 2019. Creatinine was measured using the jaffe method and CRP was measured using a latex agglutination technique. The correlation between CRP and creatinine was analyzed with Spearman test.

Results: Spearman correlation test from 55 samples showed a weak positive correlation (r = 0.289 ; p < 0.05) between CRP levels and creatinine levels. These results indicate that high CRP levels are directly proportional to creatinine levels in the serum of T2DM patients. Creatinine and CRP levels can be used as clinical parameters as biomarker for acute microvascular damage in nephron cells that can develop into complications due to T2DM.

Conclusion: There was a significant, weak positive correlation between CRP levels and creatinine levels in T2DM patients in Kota Baru and Kalibaru districts, Bekasi

Background: Immediate and accurate diagnosis of malaria is essential for effective control of this disease. Immunochromatographic based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)  are economical, simple to perform, and provide results in a relative short time, can be useful to assist effective management of malaria. The commercially available malaria RDT in Indonesia is still imported. Therefore, an effort to produce malaria RDT independently is necessary. One of the biomarkers used in RDTs is Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase pLDH. The production and accumulation of pLDH during asexual stage or blood-stage in all human infected malaria parasites can be used to indicate parasites viability, which is correlated with the number of parasites present in the plasma of infected patients.  

Objective: The aim of this research is to produce recombinant PfLDH in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3).

Methods: PfLDH gene was cloned into pET30a expression vector to obtain a 6.2 kbp recombinant plasmid pET30a-PfLDH. E. coli BL21(DE3) was transformed with pET30a-PfLDH using the heat shock method. Then, E. coli BL21(DE3)- pET30a-PfLDH was cultured in LB broth containing 50 mg/mL kanamycin and was induced by 1mM IPTG at 37oC.

Results: SDS-PAGE and Western Blot analysis showed that recombinant PfLDH was expressed with molecular mass ~30 kDa.

Conclusion: Recombinant PfLDH is expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and can be used in further research for producing rPfLDH as a biomarker for malaria RDT development.

Effects of medicinal herbs on osteoporosis: a systematic review based on clinical trials
Authors: Habibi Ghahfarrokhi Shahrzad , Reisi Roya
Published: February 2020

Osteoporosis is rapidly turning into a global epidemic, leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality due to the resulting complications such as osteoporotic fractures in older people. Therefore, this review investigated the findings of clinical trials regarding the effects of medicinal herbs on osteoporosis. To this end, several keywords were used to search for relevant articles indexed in the Institute for Scientific Information and PubMed, including "Osteoporosis" or "Bone loss" AND "medicinal plant" or "phyto*" or "herb*". Finally, 43 articles were included in the review. There are several mechanisms for anti-osteoporosis effects. Estrogen-like effects, especially soy phytoestrogenic compounds and other herbal compounds and formulations, can enhance bone formation markers, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, while decreasing bone resorption biomarkers. Therefore, they can be used as complementary medicine for osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal older women. However, for more reliable evidence, further studies are still needed because most studies have addressed soy, and the number of randomized controlled trials conducted on other herbal drugs is small. The plants possess the androgen-like properties that play an important role in the promotion of bone health. In addition, herbal treatments are supportive and slow-acting and thus such treatments are suggested for prevention and maintenance purposes rather than fast-acting treatments.

Background and aims:Thalassemia patients are predisposed to septicemia due to iron overload. The iron chelators have a potential role in the treatment of septicemia. This study was conducted to investigate the in vitro effect of iron chelators, deferoxamine (DFO), deferiprone (DFP), and deferasirox (DFS) on the growth of effective bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and their synergistic effect with each other and antibiotics. Materials and Methods: Five bacterial strains were incubated in the presence of seven chelators in Mueller Hinton agar and the number of colonies was recorded for each sample. Antibiotic discs were placed in the plates. Susceptibility to antibiotics was assessed by disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer test) and also the zone inhibition around the disc was measured in mm after incubating the relevant plate at 37°C for a day. Results: The growth of all the studied bacteria increased in the presence of iron and was inhibited in the presence of different chelators. Chelators and antibiotics had synergistic effects on growth inhibition of Escherichia coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa in culture medium, while the growth inhibition of Y. enterocolitica was seen in the presence of deferiprone and deferasirox combination. Conclusion: Chelators in combination with antibiotics exert synergistic effects on growth inhibition of prevalent bacteria (except for Y. enterocolitica).

This paper presents a high speed low power systolic multiplier based on irreducible trinomials which is implemented using GF (2M). To calculate a set of d partial products in each Handling Element (HE) during every cycle we suggest multiplication algorithm of digit level. By using the systolic channels independently, operands in the proposed structure will be reduced and accumulated by partial products. Functional verification (Simulation) of the multiplier is done by using Xilinx ISE and synthesis is done by using Xilinx XST. The synthesized design is implemented on Zynq7000 FPGA. After completion of the synthesis, it is found that the proposed multiplier achieved power consumption of 2.9mW. Area and the performance of the multiplier is optimized in the proposed structures.

Background or reference ontology is a common vocabulary for a system to share knowledge and support information integration. Weather system has more domain specific words, which are not fully covered by generic knowledge source like web and WordNet. For example, Temp is a word related with temperature in weather system, this kind meaning is not available in WordNet. Secondly, many new technical and scientific words are used and existing words also carry different senses. Thesauri usually cannot capture these new senses and words in time. Available background knowledge is insufficient to overcome the existing challenges and issues. This paper focuses on developing background ontology for weather system by enhancing existing knowledge bases. Finally the comparison is made between manually developed ontology and semi automatically developed ontology.

Chili plants are commodities that are vulnerable to various types of pests, one of the main pests is thrips. This study aims to determine the role of cropping patterns to control thrips from red chili plants, which was carried out in the Maros Regency, South Sulawesi. Planting patterns applied were: 1) chili using plastic mulch without the combination of other plants and the use of pesticides, 2) chili using plastic mulch combined with corn plants, 3) chili without plastic mulch combined with watermelon plants, 4) chili without plastic mulch combined with watermelon and corn plants, 5) chili without plastic mulch combined with corn plants and 6) chili using plastic mulch and pesticides (according to farmers' treatment). The results showed that the highest population of thrips was found in the chili cropping pattern without plastic mulch combined with watermelon and corn plants with as many as 15 T. parvispinus and 32 T. palmi thrips. Meanwhile, the chili planting pattern using plastic mulch without the combination of other plants and with the use of pesticides had the lowest average amount of thrips population weighing at 5.1 T. parvispinus and 9.5 T. palmi. T. parvispinuspopulation was lower at the beginning of the observation (during the vegetative period) and tends to increase during the generative period of chili plants. T. palmi shows the opposite trend, its population tends to be high at the beginning of plant growth (vegetative phase) and decreases its population when the plant enters the generative period. Based on the data and facts found during the study, it is concluded that: 1). The chili cropping pattern without plastic mulch combined with watermelon and corn plants showed the highest average number of thrips population compared to the other cropping patterns. 2). The abundance of populations of the two thrips species showed different fluctuations, where T. parvispinus populations tended to increase in line with plant development and T. palmi decreased according to plant development. 3). In general, the application of intercropping cropping patterns has not yet appeared to play a role in reducing the abundance of thrips population but there is an opportunity to apply cropping patterns as a method to control thrips by selecting plants that are more suitable to be combined with chili plants.

To carry out the quantitative estimation of Gallic acid and Rutin from the methanolic extract of four non-gilled mushrooms by high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method. Material and method: Four non-gilled mushrooms (Auricularia auricula-judae, Auriuclaria polytricha, Ganoderma lucidum and Trametes elegans) were collected from North Western Himalayas during the rainy season. Stationary phase for this study was TLC aluminium sheets precoated with silica gel 60 F254 and mobile phase was Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Formic acid (3:6:1v/v) and Chloroform: Ethyl acetate: Methanol: Formic acid (3.5:5:0.5:1 v/v) for Gallic acid and Rutin respectively.The detection and quantification of Gallic acid and Rutin were performed at 280 nm and 254 nm respectively. Results: Rf value of Gallic acid and Rutin were recorded to be (0.43) and (0.70) respectively. Both HPTLC peak areas for standards Gallic acid (6467.8) and Rutin (16592.4) were compared with corresponding peak areas of four non-gilled mushroom extract and the amount of Gallic acid was calculated. All the four non-gilled mushrooms extracts showed the good concentration of Gallic acid and Rutin. But the amount of Gallic acid was higher in comparison to Rutin. Conclusion: This study results showed that the four non-gilled mushrooms extracts are potential sources of antioxidant activity.

Mobile Ad hoc network (MANETs) is a self-organizing multi-hop wireless network with dynamic topologies. Due to the absence of Control Authority in MANET, the network seems to be vulnerable that can be easily destroyed by the entry of malicious nodes. The presence of malicious nodes can destroy the data transmission of the network. So, finding and removing the malicious nodes is one of the critical issues in the MANET. With the help of the proposed Coherence Key Based Node Authentication for Routing (CKR) Algorithm, each and every mobile node are authenticated while updating the routing table by using the authentication key value that is generated with the help of random number with the secret key. Only the authenticated nodes (non-Malicious Nodes) are updated in the routing table and the remaining nodes which are not authenticated (malicious nodes) will be eliminated from the routing table. So that, the malicious node will not participated and could not destroy the data transmission. Thus, it makes this Multi-hop network as more trustful network.

Due to advancement in technology, availability of resources and by increased utilization of on node sensors enormous amount of data is obtained. There is a necessity of analyzing and classifying this physiological information by efficient and effective approaches such as deep learning and artificial intelligence. Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is assuming a dominant role in sports, security, anti-crime, healthcare and also in environmental applications like wildlife observation etc. Most techniques work well for processing offline instead of real- time processing. There are few approaches which provide maximum accuracy for real time processing of large-scale data, one of the compromising approaches is deep learning. Limitation of resources is one of the causes to restrict the usage of deep learning for low power devices which can be worn on our body. Deep learning implementations are known to produce precise results for different computing systems.We suggest a deep learning approach in this paper which integrates features and data learned from inertial sensors with complementary knowledge obtained from a collection of shallow features which generates the possibility of performing real time activity classification accurately. Eliminating the obstructions caused by using deep learning methods for real-time analysis is the aim of this integrated design. Before passing the data into the deep learning framework, we perform spectral analysis to optimize the planned methodology for on-node computation. The accuracy obtained by combined approach is tested by utilizing datasets obtained from laboratory and real world controlled and uncontrolled environment. Our outcomes demonstrate the legitimacy of the methodology on various human action datasets, beating different techniques, including the two strategies utilized inside our consolidated pipeline. We additionally exhibit that our integrated design's classification times are reliable with on node real-time analysis criteria on smart phones and wearable technology.
