A Growth Mindset Promotes Situational Interest for Novice Learners
Authors: Xu Kate M. , Elliot Andrew , Koorn petra , Wijnia Lisette , Kreijns Karel , Zhang Jingjing , Geary David C.
Published: October 2020

The cultivation of interest is an important aim of education. When encountering new information, the learners’ situational interest is an essential step in the interest development process. Situational interest represents the learner’s heightened attentional focus toward task characteristics (triggered interest) and elevated positive feelings and values (maintained interest) toward the newly taught knowledge. A growth mindset, the belief that ability is malleable through effort and practice, has been shown to foster mastery goals, reduce perceived cognitive load, and improve learning performance, all of which are positive predictors of interest. The present randomized controlled experiment evaluated the effect of inducing a growth mindset on 10th graders’ (n = 138) situational interest in a novel physics topic on how sound travels. In comparison to the control group, the experimental group showed higher maintained interest on the feeling and value dimensions of situational interest, with those who had a lower initial growth mindset belief benefitting the most from the manipulation. Mediation analysis suggested that the effects of the growth mindset manipulation on the feeling and value aspects of the maintained situational interest were mediated by mastery goals and perceived cognitive load. The findings suggest that growth mindset interventions may be an effective way to foster novice learners’ situational interest, and that this effect may take place via achievement goals and perceived cognitive load.

California’s Food-Energy-Water System: An Open Source Simulation Model of Adaptive Surface and Groundwater Management in the Central Valley
Authors: Zeff Harrison , Hamilton Andrew L. , Malek Keyvan , Herman Jonathan , Cohen Jonathan , Medellin-Azuara Josue , Reed Patrick M. , Characklis Gregory W.
Published: October 2020

This study introduces the California Food-Energy-Water System (CALFEWS) simulation model to describe the integrated, multi-sector dynamics that emerge from the coordinated management of surface and groundwater supplies throughout California’s Central Valley. The CALFEWS simulation framework links the operation of state-wide, interbasin transfer projects (i.e., State Water Project, Central Valley Project) with coordinated water management strategies abstracted to the scale of irrigation/water districts. This study contributes a historic baseline (October 1996 – September 2016) evaluation of the model’s performance against observations, including reservoir storage, inter-basin transfers, environmental endpoints, and groundwater banking accounts. State-aware, rules-based representations of critical component systems enable CALFEWS to simulate adaptive management responses to alternative climate, infrastructure, and regulatory scenarios. Moreover, CALFEWS has been designed to maintain interoperability with electric power dispatch and agricultural production models. As such, CALFEWS provides a platform to evaluate internally consistent scenarios for the integrated management of water supply, energy generation, and food production.

Published: October 2020

We wish to propose an infection model to address some of the unique and unusual features observed in COVID-19, eg. why were severe patients mounting more intense immune response compared to the mild cases, why did severe patients demonstrate higher and more protracted viral shedding when the immune response was greater, etc. In this exposition, we will first describe a generic acute viral infection framework based on work done mainly in influenza infection to understand the acute infective cycle, then contrast it with COVID-19 data to highlight main differences to construct a pathogenic model, and finally extrapolate to discuss applications in potential therapeutic considerations.
A meta-analytic review of the Self-Administered Interview: Quantity and accuracy of details reported on initial and subsequent retrieval attempts

Published: October 2020

The Self-Administered Interview (SAI©) is designed to elicit detailed witness reportsin the aftermath of incidents. In two sets of meta-analyses, we compared the number of correct details reported, the number of incorrect details reported, and the accuracy of reports provided by witnesses in initial reports (SAI© vs. other reporting formats) and in subsequent accounts (initial SAI© vs. no initial SAI©). The number of comparisons ranged from 15 to 19, (N = 722 to 977). For initial accounts, the SAI© was associated with more correct details and more incorrect details than other reporting formats; accuracy was slightly lower for the SAI© than for other reporting formats. Subsequent accounts were more detailed and accurate for witnesses who had completed an initial SAI© than for those who had not. The SAI© is an effective tool for capturing detailed initial accounts and for preserving witness memory until a formal interview can be conducted.
The Effect of Gender, Religiosity and Personality on the Interpersonal Distance Preference: A Virtual Reality Study
Authors: Hatami Javad , Sharifian MohammadHasan , Noorollahi Zahra , Fathipour Abolfazl
Published: October 2020

Interpersonal distance (ID) is an important aspect of human nonverbal behavior. Both situational and dispositional factors play roles in interpersonal distance preference (IDP). In the present study, we investigated the effect of gender, religiosity, and Big Five personality factors on IDP in an Iranian sample. Forty-six university students watched fourteen 360-degree video clips via a virtual reality headset. In each video-clip, a male or a female actor spoke toward the camera from a particular distance and participants rated the favorability of each distance. Results showed that at the middle-range distances, religious individuals exhibited a pronounced gender bias by rating their distance from the same gender actor more favorable than the same distance from the opposite gender actor. Furthermore, openness to experience was correlated with the favorability of the middle-range distances. These findings can be justified by dominant Islamic values in Iran and specific characteristics of openness to experience.
Dancing Out for a Voice; a Narrative Review of the Literature Exploring Autism, Physical Activity and Dance.
Authors: Morris Phoebe , Hope Ed , Foulsham Tom , Mills John Paul
Published: October 2020

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are characterised by profound deficits in social communication and social interaction, and repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities. Currently, few therapeutic interventions successfully target some of the functionally impairing symptoms associated with autism without limitations. New research suggests that instead of combating all symptoms associated with ASD with a single solution, scientific research should focus on providing therapeutic tools that alleviate specific functionally impairing symptoms. Owing to the nature of physical activity, sports, and dance (coordinated movement) these activities could provide opportunities to enhance communication skills and social development in children diagnosed with ASD. Therefore, this paper gives a narrative overview of the literature surrounding communication and coordinated movement; outlining what is meant by communication deficits, exploring the benefits of coordinated movement; including physical activity and dance, for symptoms associated with ASD, and delineating how coordinated movement elicits positive outcomes for autistic children.

Politics, science, culture, practically all areas of spiritual activity not only provide examples of new forms and institutions, but also present material for a kind of «metaphilosophy of unity». The aim of this article is to reveal the tendencies existing in musical culture, which are connected with the process of mixing, fusion, organic connection of different elements of various musical traditions, styles, directions and genres.
GROWTH OF THE INNOVATIVE COMPONENT IN THE EUROPEAN CULTURAL HERITAGE
Authors: Vodopianova Elena
Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the current correspondense between traditional and innovative approaches to the functioning of cultural heritage of the Old World. The author argues that the changes taking place with the latter are primarily based on the total digitalization of European society, and innovative business practices are not adapted to this more than classical way of consuming products of classical culture. This circumstance is considered in detail in the article using data from Eurostat and Eurobarometer statistics. Factors that can now characterize the innovative dimension of cultural heritage in the EU have been identified. It is established that the interaction of traditional and innovative is now the leading trend for both prospects and theoretical understanding of nature of the modern existence of European cultural heritage.
Dhobi Scabies: Domestic Servants and Hygiene in English Homes in Colonial India
Authors: Sidorova Svetlana
Published: October 2020

In colonial India the sickness and mortality rate among the British was significantly higher than among their compatriots in the metropolis. The native servants working for the British, who were in close contact with their masters and connected between the colonial houses and the outside tropical world, were considered one of the sources of infections. They themselves were its carriers, or carried out their duties in such a way that they unwittingly provoked the spread of disease. Thus, the servants not only crossed the boundaries of the masters’ private spaces, which was dictated by their professional mission, but also unauthorizedly violated the integrity of the physical shells of English bodies, exerting a harmful effect on their internal organs and nervous systems. The fear, anxiety and physical malaise acquired by the European masters through this negative contact were an incentive for the development of protective mechanisms, some of which can be combined with the concept of hygiene...

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Posttraumatic seizures are the seizures that arise from traumatic brain injury and brain harm due to physical trauma. This study aims to study various clinic-demographic factors associated with post traumatic seizure in Western Nepal.

Methods: A retrospective analytical study was carried out in a tertiary hospital of Nepal to determine factors associated with post traumatic seizures. Various parameters were tested for association with post traumatic seizure using student’s t test for quantitative and chi square or Fischer Exact test for categorical variables. All the variables showing significant association were subjected to binary logistic regression. P-value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: There were 66 (21.02%) cases with post traumatic seizure in our study. Univariate analysis showed significant association of fall injury (p=0.004), loss of consciousness (p=0.001), post traumatic amnesia (p=0.012), severity of head injury (Glasgow coma scale) (p=0.011) and depressed fractures (p<0.001). A binary logistic regression was done amongst parameters with significant association with post traumatic seizure which showed patients with fall injury (OR 3.150, P=0.003, CI= 1.473-6.734) and depressed skull fractures (OR 26.278, p<0.001, CI= 12.155-56.809) had statistical significant association.

Conclusion: Injuries secondary to fall, post traumatic amnesia, loss of consciousness, severity of head injury in terms of GCS and depressed skull fractures were significantly associated with post traumatic seizures in our study. On multiple regression model with adjusted odds of 3.15 (1.473-6.734) and depressed skull fractures with an adjusted odds of 26.278 (12.155-56.809) were significantly associated with post traumatic seizure.
Desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de processamento para obtenção de materiais com variação contínua de funcionalidade
Authors:   , Andrade J. C.
Published: October 2020

Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) are those that have variation of properties along one or more directions. They are an alternative to conventional composites in applications that have stress gradients (mechanical, thermal, electrical etc.) or when you want to reduce the negative effects caused by the incompatibility of materials applied directly on each other, in the case of metals coated with ceramic components . There are several techniques to produce FGMs, however, most of them result in a discrete gradation in bulky parts which, for many applications, can be a negative factor since there is an abrupt change of properties between the layers. The objective of this research study was, therefore, the development of a methodology to obtain bulky materials with continuous gradation of functionality from the mixture of particulate systems and consolidation by the gelcasting process. The systems used were suspensions of stainless steel and alumina, the latter being used with two particle size distributions to evaluate the effect of this variable on the processing and properties of the formed material. Such suspensions were optimized for the ideal dispersant concentration and introduced into a static mixer in a variable proportion through a device composed of syringes, hoses, stepper motors and spindles controlled by a microcontroller board, so that the suspension at the mixer outlet was transferred to a mold with a continuous variation of composition. Some gradation profiles have been defined - along the length of all parts produced or in specific regions of them. The consolidation of the suspension inside the mold was done through the gelcasting process, reason why they were prepared with high levels of solid, but with viscosity compatible with the variable flow system. In order to harmonize the sintering temperatures between stainless steel and alumina, an additive composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and copper oxide (CuO) was applied in a proportion of 4: 1 by weight. Results of sample dilatometry before mixing showed the densification of alumina after sintering at 1400 ºC. The gradation formed was macroscopically visible in green body. The analysis of the sintered specimens was performed by obtaining some properties along its length, such as shrinkage after sintering, density, apparent porosity and ferromagnetic phase content. The gradation was verified by observing the variation of these properties along the total length of the samples or in specific regions planned for gradation. The methodology proved to be viable to produce bulky pieces with functionality varying continuously along the length, however future studies should be carried out with to improve the densification of the regions rich in alumina, that were far from expected
The Reception of Recent Marian Apparitions in the Czech Republic in the Field of Popular Religiosity – Two Examples
Authors: Tur Vojtěch
Published: October 2020

Marian apparitions have always emerged throughout the history of the Catholic Church. However, they have never been given a lot of attention and have never met with so much public acceptance as has been seen since the latter half of the 19th century. The development of mass communication and increasing population mobility have partly contributed to this phenomenon. These apparitions have a new function – providing public messages. The Virgin Mary is no longer speaking only to the visionary; she is pronouncing prophecies and messages to all believers, laying claims to the hierarchy. This chapter offers a comparative analysis of two examples of ‘popular religiosity’ in the Czech Republic as a spontaneous religious activity produced and operated by their charismatic leaders and opinion-makers: Vérité centre founded by František Mráček and Mariánské nakladatelství [MANA, Marian publishers] founded by František Press in Brno. Both cases are based on modern Marian apparitions and are contextualised in the current global situation and in the Czech Republic. According to the author, this goes hand in hand with the trend of modernisation and the era of mass communication. Marian devotion plays a central role in both studied cases and is crucial for understanding the portraying her as the Loving Moth- er and Hope of the Mankind, as well as the Guardian of the World com- ing as the (last) Living Warning before the expected global catastrophe. The apocalyptic, chiliastic and millennial tone presented by both interpreters of modern Marian apparitions is being explored as well. The main issue in both cases is the expectation of the end of the current world order. This element was certainly activated by the approaching end of the millennium. Even though this stimulation of thoughts on the end of the world is now out of play, the charismatic leaders flexibly postponed their prediction in this regard and, according to them, we should expect some global threat in the future, the outbreak of WW III, nuclear or ecological catastrophes, globalisation or total control by means of information technologies. Another nodal point is the reference to globalisation as an instrument of Satan's rule over the unified world. According to the author, both studied cases are examples of modern adaptation of Christianity to the post-modern religious landscape of post-socialist Czech Republic and represent a form of popular religiosity which is transformed and adapted to the context of modern society and ‘Western culture’.
Od psaní o sobě ke spolupráci: Reflexivní psaní a spolupracující přístup v terapii a (auto)etnografii
Authors: Wiesner Adam
Published: October 2020

V kapitole Adama Wiesnera Od psaní o sobě ke spolupráci. Reflexivní psaní a spolupracující přístup v terapii a (auto)etnografii sa autor zameriava na preskúmanie filozofického kontextu, ktorý sa spája s postmoderným a reflexívnym obratom v sociálnych vedách a v rámci etnografickej metodológie a esejistiky umožňuje výskumníkom a výskumníčkam využívať viacero možností, ako pracovať s ich dátami. V rámci etnograficke esejistiky teraz máme k dispozícii oveľa viac žánrov a formátov písania, než len tradičný realistický úzus (Van Maanen, 2011) prevzatý z exaktných vied. Tieto nové prístupy však zároveň v súvislosti s písaním o sebe (a iných) prinášajú etickú výzvu, týkajúcu sa otázky hraníc, otvorenosti a zraniteľnosti autora alebo autorky, aj jeho partnerov a partneriek vo výskume. Inšpirovaný skúsenosťou so spolupracujúcim prístupom a naratívnou terapiou sa A. Wiesner snaží identifikovať priesečníky, ktoré boli významné aj pre jeho etnografický terén. Ťažisko týchto spoločných línií vidí predovšetkým v postmodernom prístupe k jazyku ako k dialógu, ktorý umožňuje (spolu)vytváranie nových významov prostredníctvom slobodného kreatívno-analytického procesu, ktorý sa nesnaží o konkrétny jednotný štýl a formát. Namiesto zamerania sa na s odstupom pozorované fakty, ktorým z postmoderného hľadiska chýba plnosť ľudskej reálnej skúsenosti (ktorá je vždy istým spôsobom vtelená, zmyslová, ale zároveň neúplná, fragmentovaná a neohraničená), postmoderné prístupy k reflexívnemu písaniu v rámci spolupracujúcej evokujúcej (auto)etnografie umožňujú dať priestor dátam, ktoré nemajú jednoznačný empirický status ani jednoznačne určený cieľ. Postmoderný prístup k etnografickej esejistike zároveň umožňuje nahradiť tradičný koncept metodologickej triangulácie termínom kryštalizácia, ktorý je viac v súlade s mnohovrstevnatosťou a fragmentáciou postmoderných naratívov, nahrádzajúcich modernistickú snahu o jednotné poznanie. A. Wiesner vo svojom texte predstavuje kreatívno-analytický proces (Creative Analytical Process, CAP) uplatňovaný v rámci reflexívneho písania a evokujúcu autoetnografiu ako príklad vhodných postmoderných prístupov pre využitie tzv. emocionálnych dát (St. Pierre, 1997), ktorým sa prevládajúci realistický štýl v sociálnych vedách snaží úplne vyhnúť. Vďaka silnému kreatívnemu aspektu v postmodernom prístupe k písaniu možno často identifikovať jeho tzv. Terapeutický presah, ktorý sa dotýka nielen samotného autora alebo autorky, ale aj jeho čitateľov a čitateliek a to prostredníctvom princípu rezonancie (Anderson, 2001).

Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability in the pediatric population. The authors assessed 1-year costs of intensive care in pediatric TBI patients.

METHODS

In this retrospective multicenter cohort study of four academic ICUs in Finland, the authors used the Finnish Intensive Care Consortium database to identify children aged 0–17 years treated for TBI in ICUs between 2003 and 2013. The authors reviewed all patient health records and head CT scans for admission, treatment, and follow-up data. Patient outcomes included functional outcome (favorable outcome defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 4–5) and death within 6 months. Costs included those for the index hospitalization, rehabilitation, and social security up to 1 year after injury. To assess costs, the authors calculated the effective cost per favorable outcome (ECPFO).

RESULTS

In total, 293 patients were included, of whom 61% had moderate to severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] score 3–12) and 40% were ≥ 13 years of age. Of all patients, 82% had a favorable outcome and 9% died within 6 months of injury. The mean cost per patient was €48,719 ($54,557) (95% CI €41,326–€56,112). The index hospitalization accounted for 66%, rehabilitation costs for 27%, and social security costs for 7% of total healthcare costs. The ECPFO was €59,727 ($66,884) (95% CI €52,335–€67,120). A higher ECPFO was observed among patients with clinical and treatment-related variables indicative of parenchymal swelling and high intracranial pressure. Lower ECPFO was observed among patients with higher admission GCS scores and those who had epidural hematomas.

CONCLUSIONS

Greater injury severity increases ECPFO and is associated with higher postdischarge costs in pediatric TBI patients. In this pediatric cohort, over two-thirds of all resources were spent on patients with favorable functional outcome, indicating appropriate resource allocation.

Political Mission of University: A Retrospective View
Authors: Lukovenkov S. G.
Published: October 2020

Academic3 space in its different manifestations has been taking an honorable position in social structure from the earliest stages of the history of human civilization by systematizing multitude experiences of both external and internal world of humankind. At the same time, educational landscape was formulating the different ways of how to theorize about and interact with the world. Simultaneously, there was always combating with the alternative systems and, what is more, this struggle wasn’t necessarily intellectual or polemical. Little has changed in how society perceives academy and its functions in the era of accomplished digital revolution, including its role as an instrument of surveillance and social sorting – these two important elements of power. In this article, an attempt is taken to comprehend University – and speaking broadly academic space as such – as a special kind of social and political field used to perform surveillance and social control. On the example of colonial colleges in the USA, this article examines how University may serve as a surveillance mechanism on the one hand and as a mean of cultural transformation on the other hand, and what conclusions can be made regarding the present and the future of University in the digital era.

Academic Writing: Difficulties and Possible Solutions for Engineering Students
Authors: Bolsunovskaya L. M. , Rymanova I. E.
Published: October 2020

Academic writing is considered to be the most challenging and difficult skill in terms of English as a Second Language. This study critically explores the obstacles in academic writing faced by students at Tomsk Polytechnic University, Russia. To investigate, a comprehensive questionnaire has been floated among professional teachers to get their expert opinions (about students’ obstacles in writing) in order to identify some problems and form effective remedial strategies eventually. This paper focuses on the two significant aspects of academic writing, namely language skills (LS) (Grammar etc.) and writing skills (WS) (writing itself as a skill). Equally relevant to the issue are organization, coherence, and connectivity. The authors claim that Russian learners have poor learning background in writing skills due to the lack of balanced syllabus and teaching technologies. Aside from this, only determining problems is not sufficient to take students out of writing phobia. Furthermore, it is necessary to point out the fact that poor reading skills also lead to this kind of disappointment. Most of Russian learners do not know how to initiate their composition (essays). This paper will prove to be an academic contribution to improve the writing skills among ESL/EFL Russian learners in general and students of Tomsk Polytechnic University in particular. The presented analysis should also be of interest to researchers in other countries (universities) in which the field of academic writing is emerging.

Published: October 2020

The reaction mechanism between phosphacyclopropenylidene and methyleneimine has been systematically investigated at the M06–2X/6–311++G(d,p) level of theory in order to better understand the reactivity of unsaturated cyclic phosphorus-bearing carbene. Geometry optimizations and vibrational analyses have been conducted for the stationary points on the potential energy surface of the system. Calculations show that the spiro bicyclic intermediate could be produced through the cycloaddition process between phosphacyclopropenylidene and methyleneimine initially. The reaction mechanism is illustrated with frontier molecular orbital theory. Introduction of electron-withdrawing group in phosphacyclopropenylidene will better facilitate the addition process. Through subsequent ring-expanding and hydrogen-migrating process, fuse-ring and allene compounds could be produced, respectively. Furthermore, it’s easy for spiro bicyclic intermediate and another methyleneimine to form a spiro tricyclic compound. This study is helpful to understand the reactivity of phosphacyclopropenylidene, the evolution of phosphorus-bearing molecules in space, and to offer an alternative approach to the formation of phosphorus-bearing heterocyclic compound.

Two new isomorphic and heterogeneous coordination polymers (CPs), namely {[RE ( L) (H2O) 2] · (Hbipy) · H2O} n (RE = Yb(1), Y(2), Na2H2 L = 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid disodium salt, bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, power X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 2 feature one-dimensional (1D) wavy ladder-like chain structures, which are further connected by hydrogen bonds from water molecules to result in two-dimensional (2D) layered structures. The 1H-protonated bipy molecules act as uncoordinated cations, leading to valences of zero in compounds 1 and 2. Compounds 1 and 2 emit luminescence at 382 nm and 372 nm in the ultraviolet regions, respectively. The luminescent emissions originate from the typical ligand-centered (n– π* and π– π*) transitions. In addition, compound 1 has characteristic near-infrared emission of ytterbium ion at 964 nm.
Predictability of transcutaneous bilirubinometry in late preterm and term infants at risk for pathological hyperbilirubinemia
Authors: Dianova E. , Fogel J. , Verma R.P.
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND:

The aim was to assess the predictability of transcutaneous bilirubinometry in late preterm and term neonates at risk for pathological hyperbilirubinemia, and to identify the neonatal population in which transcutaneous bilirubin most accurately predicts serum bilirubin level (SB, mg/dl).

METHODS:

The correlations between transcutaneous bilirubin (TCB, mg/dl) and SB in different neonatal population subsets; and between ΔTSB (TCB-SB) and relevant neonatal variables and clinical groups were analyzed.

RESULTS:

TCB correlated with SB ( r = 0.82, p < 0.05) in the cohort ( n = 350) and in population subsets ( r = 0.81–0.9, p < 0.001). Black infants with gestational age (GA) >35 weeks and chronological age (CA) >3 days recorded strongest correlation ( r = 0.9, p < 0.001) followed by Blacks, and non-Black infants with CA >3 days and GA >35 weeks. ΔTSB was positive in Blacks, and in infants with CA <3 days, or with no phototherapy. ΔTSB was negative in non-Blacks, in infants with positive direct Coombs test (DC+) or those receiving phototherapy. Black race [beta (SE) = 1.3(0.33), p < 0.001] had positive, while CA [beta (SE) =−1.74 (0.36), p < 0.001], DC + status [beta (SE) =−0.72 (0.25), p = 0.004] and receipt of phototherapy [beta (SE) =−0.84 (0.21), p < 0.001] each had negative correlation with ΔTSB. ΔTSB for Blacks was >Whites, Hispanics and Asians.

CONCLUSION:

SB is best predicted by TCB in Black infants with CA over 3 days and GA over 35 weeks. Variability in SB estimation by TCB is race, CA and immune mediated hemolysis specific.

PURPOSE:

This retrospective study is designed to develop a Radiomics-based strategy for preoperatively predicting lymph node (LN) status in the resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients.

METHODS:

Eighty-five patients with histopathological confirmed PDAC are included, of which 35 are LN metastasis positive and 50 are LN metastasis negative. Initially, 1,124 radiomics features are computed from CT images of each patient. After a series of feature selection, a Radiomics logistic regression (LOG) model is developed. Subsequently, the predictive efficiency of the model is validated using a leave-one-out cross-validation method. The model performance is evaluated on discrimination and compared with the conventional CT evaluation method based on subjective CT image features.

RESULTS:

Radiomics LOG model is developed based on eight most related radiomics features. Remarkable differences are demonstrated between patients with LN metastasis positive and LN metastasis negative in Radiomics LOG scores namely, 0.535±1.307 (mean±standard deviation) vs. −1.514±1.800 (mean±standard deviation) with p < 0.001. Radiomics LOG model shows significantly higher predictive efficiency compared to the conventional evaluation method of LN status in which areas under ROC curves are AUC = 0.841 with 95% confidence interval (CI: 0.758∼0.925) vs. AUC = 0.682 with (95% CI: 0.566∼0.798). Leave-one-out cross validation indicates that the Radiomics LOG model correctly classifies 70.3% cases, while the conventional CT evaluation method only correctly classifies 57.0% cases.

CONCLUSION:

A radiomics-based strategy provides an individualized LN status evaluation in PDAC patients, which may help clinicians implement an optimal personalized patient treatment.
HCV induced thrombocytopenia in Punjab,Pakistan

HCV is the main causal agent of blood transmitted hepatitis which can lead to the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in infected persons. In patients with HCV related hepatic diseases, immune mediated responses against surface antigens can cause the destruction of platelets. Despite a high prevalence of HCV and its extrahepatic presentations, reports on platelet count in HCV infected patients are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to determine thrombocytopenia in suspected HCV patients in Lahore, Pakistan. It also aims to find out its association with other factors such as age, gender, viral load and ALT. For this cross-sectional retrospective study, blood samples were collected from 200 suspected HCV patients, including both male and female patients, who were between 20-69 years of age. Serum ALT levels were determined and HCV antibodies were detected. Thrombocytopenia was defined as the platelet count below 150,000/μL. Pearson’s correlation was used to find out the statistically significant relationship of platelet count with age, viral load and ALT. Platelet count varied between 29.00- 402.00 x 103 /μl. The mean platelet count was 206.87 ± 83.88 x 103 /μl. Platelet count less than 150 x 103/μl was considered as thrombocytopenia, whereas platelet count measuring above 150 x 103/μl was considered normal. It was normal in 72% patients and low in 28% patients. There was a negative correlation between age and platelet count which was statistically significant (r = -0.304, N= 200, p = 0.00012).

Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a group of heterogeneous neurological disorders with genetic etiologies. It is characterized by spasticity in lower limbs along with neurological complications. Sequencing technologies have identified numerous disease causing variants in AP4S1 gene. However, many very low frequency variations in AP4S1 have the potential to cause hereditary spastic paraplegia in a recessive inheritance manner. This study was designed to identify these potential disease causing variants in AP4S1 gene using in silico tools. These tools predict the effects of deleterious variants on protein function and pre-mRNA splicing. To predict the pathogenicity of missense variants PhD-SNPg, PROVEAN, SNPs&GO, and CADD were used. Splice site variants were analyzed using Spliceman, SPiCE, and Human Splice Finder (HSF). In silico analysis identified six missense and five splice site variants with the potential to cause hereditary spastic paraplegia.
