Authors: Azab Mohammed A. , Pierre Kevin , Lucke-Wold Brandon
Published: December 2023

Since Egaz Moniz introduced angiography, neurovascular interventions have undergone significant advancements. The integration of advanced biomaterials has refined endovascular devices and techniques for complex vascular lesions. The domain of neurointerventions includes neuroendovascular surgery, endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neurology. Notably, in regions with limited neurointerventional specialists, interventional cardiologists are increasingly treating cerebrovascular strokes. The congruence between coronary and carotid interventions has facilitated the development of adaptable cerebrovascular tools, many inspired by those in cardiac catheter labs. This article provides an overview of key developments in neurointerventions, with a focus on the adaptation of tools between coronary and cerebrovascular procedures.

The organizational development (OD) interventions carried out by the assessment center identifying the competencies becomes effective only if the expectation of the stakeholders is met. A 360-degree multipurpose intervention is to assess and develop project director’s leadership capabilities and enable them to execute Mega Infrastructure Projects in India executed by Larsen and Toubro, the leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) players of India. Implementing such Mega Projects by maintaining time, cost, safety, and quality parameters require leadership skills of high order. To meet out this requirement implementation partner interacted with few project directors from each business verticals such as nuclear, hydel, metro, defense, special bridges and ports and harbor, to understand the role holders’ challenges and the expectations. L&T Heavy Civil Infrastructure (HCI) Leadership Competency framework was thus drafted looking into the role intensity and specific role-based challenges of the Mega Project Leaders. The questionnaires were designed to cover all dimensions and sub dimensions of 8 competencies, covering 40 behavioral Indicators. the questionnaires were hosted on the online platform to including self, supervisor, direct repartees, peers, customers, and other stakeholders. Validation to the assessment of each dimension and sub-dimensions as qualitative feedback is done with simple average scores and the range. The study found that execution leadership was the highest rated competency followed by customer engagement and talent management. The study also found that strategic orientation and decision making were rated low compared to other competencies, got validated by comments of customers as well. This is quite evident from the feedback that was taken after 9 months of the intervention. The study by using Delphi technique revealed that by providing feedback from all stakeholders supported by systematic coaching, 88% participants showed improvement in the low rated items. The study further proved that with proper feedback and coaching at an individual level with required trust and keeping development as the core agenda and without linking to any other HR processes like appraisal and promotion, majority of the participants took full ownership, interest and worked on their individual competency development showing their learning agility.

Published: December 2023

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with highly angulated neck (>60°) in octogenarians represents a challenge to treatment with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). In such cases, EVAR may be used outside the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use and attendant higher risk of failure. The new device Gore Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis with active control (CEXC) system has been designed to achieve optimal aortic wall apposition and seal in these more challenging geometries. This study reports the initial results and technical success of this device in octogenarians with highly angulated aneurysm necks (>60°). Methods: All patients aged >80 years who had AAAs treated with the CEXC device at a single UK centre between January 2020 and July 2023 were analysed. The primary endpoint was technical success, which was defined as successful introduction and deployment of the device in the absence of surgical conversion or mortality, type I or III endoleaks or graft limb obstruction. The secondary outcomes included 30-day morbidity, mortality, endoleak and re-intervention rates. Results: Twenty patients were included (17 (75%) males) of median age 81 (range 80–84) years. The median AAA diameter was 60 (57–63) mm and the median infrarenal neck angulation was 80 (70–89)°. The active control system was used in six cases. The median procedural time was 277 (254–316) minutes. The immediate technical success rate was 95%, with one type Ia endoleak (5%). In the 30-day postoperative period, four complications were reported. On the 30-day follow-up CT scan, five type II endoleaks were observed and one initial type Ia endoleak had persisted at 30 days. No re-intervention was required during the first 30-day postoperative period. One hospital death occurred during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic; however, the death was unrelated to the surgery. Conclusions: EVAR with the CEXC device in octogenarians with hostile aortic neck anatomy is feasible inside the Instructions for Use, and shows satisfactory initial results.

Published: December 2023

Durante o desenvolvimento da dentição decídua para a permanente, a ocorrência de anormalidades é comum de estar presente. Quando uma criança perde dentes decíduos precocemente, devido ao trauma dentário ou cárie, pode acarretar em alterações morfológicas nas arcadas dentárias. Dessa forma, o controle do espaço no arco dentário torna-se necessário para que os dentes permanentes possam irromper bem posicionados. Portanto, os mantenedores de espaço aliados à prótese fixa surgem como opção sempre que há perda de um ou mais dentes antes da época normal de sua queda. Para o planejamento adequado desses recursos, meios de diagnóstico devem ser analisados com o objetivo de individualizar cada caso da maneira mais apropriada.

Variability of the Raman Optical Activity Spectroscopy
Authors: Bouř Petr
Published: December 2023

Spectroscopy of Raman optical activity (ROA) is rather rare because of its experimental demands and difficult interpretation of the spectra. Yet it is further developing and in the last decade we witnessed significant improvement of the experimental and theoretical methods. This brought about new knowledge regarding structure and behavior of molecules, and their interactions with light. We give a brief summary of the experience we and others obtained with this method. It appears that ROA spectroscopy gives unique information about molecules, suitable for determination of the absolute configurations, but also for studies of conformations and electronic structure.
Prolactin-Releasing Peptide, a Peptide with an Improper Name, but Proper Biological Activity for Obesity, Type-2 Diabetes, and Alzheimer's Disease Treatment

Published: December 2023

Obesity is an escalating epidemic, but an effective non-invasive therapy is still scarce. For the obesity treatment, anorexigenic neuropeptides represent promising tools, but their delivery from the periphery to the brain is complicated because peptides have a low stability and limited ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Recently discovered anorexigenic neuropeptides, such as prolactin-releasing peptide, represent new trends in development of anti-obesity agents. They are released and acting directly in brain areas regulating food intake, but generally do not cross the blood-brain barrier if administered peripherally. We succeeded to design stable palmitoylated analogs of this neuropeptide with a prolonged acute anorexigenic effect after peripheral administration as shown in mice and rats. Repeated peripheral administration of the lipidized prolactin-releasing peptide analogs resulted in long-lasting anti-obesity and antidiabetic effects in rodent models of diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. We proved that lipidation might be an effective way to transmit the desired effect to the central nervous system after peripheral administration, for a potential treatment of obesity and related complications such as type-2 diabetes.
Besides the advanced age, type-2 diabetes and obesity were shown to be risk factors for Alzheimer's disease; therefore, compounds with glucose-lowering and/or anorexigenic properties were proposed to be neuroprotective. In our group, we studied a possible crosstalk between obesity, type-2 diabetes and Alzheimer's-like pathology. We also investigated if our novel palmitoylated analogs of prolactin-releasing peptide could have beneficial effect on neurodegeneration in several mouse models of Alzheimer's-like pathology and their age-matched wild type controls. We demonstrated that these lipidized analogs are potentially neuroprotective substances improving spatial memory, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and attenuating neuroinflammation and two hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, i.e., tau hyper-phosphorylation and β-amyloid plaques in different mouse models of Alzheimer's-like neurodegeneration.

Risk stratification of renal transplant recipients using routine parameters: Implication of learning from SARS-CoV-2 into transplant follow-up program
Authors: Ghazanfar Abbas , Abbas Madiha , Hussain Md Walid , Kayal Malik
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a global pandemic that is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality among recipients of solid organ transplantation. In the course of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, various laboratory markers have been identified as predictors for high risk of mortality.

AIM

To risk stratify renal transplant recipients (RTxR) using general demographic parameters, comorbidities and routine laboratory markers for the severity of the disease and its outcomes. We believe that learning about these routinely monitored parameters can help us plan better strategies for the RTxR follow-up program.

METHODS

This present study includes RTxR who acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection from March 2020 to February 2021. We recorded the basic demographics, comorbidities and routine laboratory markers. We investigated the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on RTxRs and risk-stratified the progression of disease severity and outcomes in terms of recovery or mortality.

RESULTS

From 505 RTxRs in our renal transplant follow-up program, 29 (7.75%) RTxRs had PCR-positive SARS-CoV-2 infection. We recorded 8 deaths from SARS-CoV-2 infection giving an overall mortality rate of 1.6% but a significant 27.6% mortality in SARS-CoV-2 positive recipients. Age more than 68 years, non-Caucasian ethnicity and male gender were associated with a significant drop in survival probability; P ≤ 0.001. < 0.001 and < 0.0001 respectively. 87.5% of the deceased were diabetic; P ≤ 0.0.0001. Estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 26 mL/min/1.73 m2, serum albumin less than 20 g/L, Hemoglobin less than 9.6 g/L and serum calcium less than 1.70 mmol/L were all associated with significantly increased risk of mortality; P = 0.0128, < 0.001, < 0.0001 and 0.0061 respectively.

CONCLUSION

This study has identified some routinely used modifiable parameters in predicting a higher risk of mortality and morbidity. This knowledge can be used in RTxR follow-up programs by addressing these parameters early to help reduce the morbidity and mortality in RTxRs.

Published: December 2023

Elektrikli araçlarda kullanılan ve direkt olarak aracın performansına etkileyen bataryalar, kimyasal enerjiyi elektrik enerjisine dönüştürerek elektrik motorunun dönmesini sağlayan en önemli parçadır. Bataryalar içerisinde lityum iyon bataryalar, diğer bataryalara göre yaygın olarak kullanılmasının sebebi, enerji yoğunluğunun, geri dönüştürülebilirliğinin ve özgül gücünün yüksek, ağırlığının ve kendi kendine deşarj oranlarının düşük, daha uzun çevrim ömrü ve daha fazla enerji depolanabilirliğe sahip olmasıdır. Lityum iyon batarya hücrelerinin güvenliği, performansı ve dayanıklılığı sıcaklığa karşı hassas olduğundan optimum çalışma sıcaklığı 20 °C ile 40 °C arasındadır. Optimum çalışma sıcaklığının üzerindeki sıcaklıklarda batarya hücresinin aşırı ısınması termal kaçaklara, bataryalarda yanmalara ve hatta patlamalara sebep olmaktadır. Bataryaların aşırı ısınmasını engellemek amacıyla batarya hücresinin sıcaklığının homojen olarak dağılması, çalışma sıcaklığının öngörülen aralıkta tutulması ve istenilen sıcaklığın sağlanması batarya termal yönetimi için en önemli parametrelerdir. Bu çalışma lityum iyon bataryaların kullanılmasında en çok karşılaşılan sorunlardan biri batarya hücresinin sıcaklığının homojen dağılması ve optimum çalışma sıcaklığı aralığında tutulmasına yönelik yapılan batarya termal yönetim sistemlerine genel bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Bu makale son yıllarda kullanılan hava soğutmalı, sıvı soğutmalı ve ısı borulu soğutmalı yöntemleri tanıtır, avantaj ve dezavantajları tartışarak karşılaştırır.

Brain tumor detection is a critical task in neuroimaging that significantly impacts clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Conventional methods for tumor detection rely on manual interpretation of medical imaging data, which can be time-consuming and subject to interobserver variability. With the advancements in deep learning, particularly in the realm of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), there has been a growing interest in leveraging these techniques for automated brain tumor detection. This study explores the efficacy of deep learning models in the automated detection and classification of brain tumors from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. A comprehensive dataset of MRI images representing various tumor types and anatomical regions is employed to train and evaluate the deep learning models. The developed CNN-based architectures are designed to capture intricate patterns and features within the MRI scans, facilitating accurate tumor localization and classification. The research investigates the performance of the deep learning models in distinguishing between healthy brain tissue and different tumor subtypes, including gliomas, meningiomas, and metastatic tumors.

On the Interest Rate Derivatives Pricing with Discrete Probability Distribution and Calibration with Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Silva Allan Jonathan da , Mello Leonardo Fagundes de
Published: December 2023

Bond prices and fixed-income derivatives intricately depend on the ever-evolving landscape of interest rates. This study introduces an exceptionally efficient semi-analytical pricing methodology designed for discretely updated path-dependent interest rate options. Our approach involves the derivation of an analytical solution for the characteristic function of the logarithm of the discretely discounted strike price, enabling the computation of coefficients for the Fourier-cosine series governing the path-dependent option pricing. The distinctive feature of our pricing method lies in the utilization of a modified Skellam probability distribution to model interest rate increments, resulting in a remarkably swift and precise calculation process. Unlike existing solutions for similar pricing challenges, our proposed formula considerably enhances computational efficiency. Moreover, we delve into the influence of central bank monetary decision probabilities on option prices via a comprehensive series of numerical experiments. In an effort to further fine-tune the calibration parameter values for the yield curve, we employ a genetic algorithm, thus contributing to the heightened precision of our pricing model. This research, with its innovative approach, not only refines pricing procedures but also offers valuable insights into the dynamic interplay between monetary policies and fixed-income derivatives.
Socio-economic energy model for digitalization (SEED) overview design concept and details (ODD) protocol

Published: December 2023

The Socio-Economic Energy Model for Digitalization (SEED) quantifies digitalization's impacts on technology investment choices, energy consumption, and emissions in different energy sectors. It belongs to the class of Agent Based Models and simulates the decision processes of various heterogenous actors of the energy system: households, services sectors and industry sectors. These decision processes relate to the adoption of digital services and practices, as well as the investment in end-use energy technologies to support them. The model represents a large set of complex interactions between its actors, such as peereffects, producer-consumer relationships and employee-employer relationships. It can also be linked to the Swiss TIMES energy system model (STEM) to evaluate broader implications to the energy supply and infrastructure arising from the decisions of the SEED actors. The current article formally describes the SEED model based on the Overview Design Concept and Details (ODD) protocol. It also lists its main features, assumptions and data sources.

We know that crimes are committed at the national and international level, and there are a number of reasons and factors behind the commission of these crimes. In order to prevent the occurrence of these crimes, it is necessary to have coordination and cooperation between the countries in this area, in order to prevent the occurrence of crimes at the international level and if this cooperation does not exist. Yes, it will never establish international order and international peace, it will have financial and personal losses. Human life is the common heritage of all humanity and the preservation and protection of this heritage is the common obligation of all governments and individuals.

Authors:   Korean East West Mind Sci Association, Kim MyungHee , Kim KyoungMi
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to explore how college students’ MBTI understanding influences their life satisfaction and the moderating effect of self-acceptance on this relationship. For this study, an online survey of 351 college students on MBTI understanding, life satisfaction, and self-acceptance was conducted and analyzed. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and SPSS Macro bootstrapping methods were applied to verify the moderating effects. The result showed that, first, college students’ higher MBTI understanding was associated with higher life satisfaction. Second, self-acceptance moderated the effect of MBTI understanding on life satisfaction of college students. In the group with high self-acceptance, life satisfaction was higher in the group with high MBTI understanding than in the group with low MBTI understanding. But, the group with low self-acceptance showed less change in life satisfaction with MBTI understanding. Based on these findings, we discussed how self-acceptance works in that MBTI understanding increases the satisfaction with the life of college students.

Authors:   Korean East West Mind Sci Association, Park Eunkyung , Seon Hyeyon
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study was to understand in-depth the process of counselor's ‘observing self’ experience and its influencing factors. To this end, 10 counselors with more than 10 years of counseling experience were selected as study participants. Data were collected by conducting in-depth interviews on their experience of observing self, and it was analyzed in three stages according to the data analysis method of Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory: initial coding, focused coding and theoretical coding. As a result of data analysis, 141 semantic units were extracted through initial coding, and 43 subcategories and 14 categories were derived through focused coding. After that, theoretical coding was carried out, and it was derived into four stages: self-limitation stage, self-confrontation stage, acceptance and letting go stage, and self-expansion stage, and three characteristics, such as personal characteristics, relational characteristics, and practical characteristics, were found to influence this process. Based on this, constructing a story about the couselor's experience of observing self is the process of experiencing 'shakable self', 'contemplating self', 'self as it is', and 'transcendent self' through the self-limiting stage, self-confrontation stage, acceptance and letting go stage, and self-expansion stage, and these four types of self circulate with each other and transition to a transcendent identity. Based on these results, the process of counselor's observing self experience and its influencing factors were discussed, and finally, the significance of the study and suggestions for follow-up studies were presented.
