Tuberculosis adalah penyakit menular yang sangat berbahaya, karena penularannya melewati udara. Penularan penyakit tuberculosis disebabkan oleh bakteri yang bernama Mycobacterium Tuberculosis yang terbang ketika penderita penyakit Tuberculosis batuk, bersin, atau berbicara dengan memercikkan ludah, bakteri TB akan ikut melalui ludah tersebut untuk terbang keudara. Selanjutnya, bakteri akan masuk ketubuh orang lain melalui udara yang dihirup. Oleh karena itu penularan penyakit TBC jarang bisa di pantau dan para penderita tidak mengetahui bahwa mereka sedang menderita penyakit TBC. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, maka dibutuhkan sebuah sistem pendukung keputusan yang berguna untuk menentukan potensi kecamatan gawat penyakit TBC, agar penyebaran penyakit tersebut mudah di tanggulangi.Dari uraian diatas perlu dibuat suatu sistem yang dapat membantu mengatasi permasalah tersebut yaitu dengan membangun sebuah sistem pendukung keputusan untuk menentukan potensi kecamatan gawat tuberculosis pada wilayah kerja TB-HIV Care Aisyiyah dengan menggunakan metode weighted sum model(wsm).Hasil dari penelitian adalah, Pertama dapat memperoleh Kecamatan yang sesuai dengan kriteria itu sendiri dan akan menghasilkan sumber informasi yang berguna bagi TB-HIV Care, Kedua sistem ini dapat mempermudah untuk mengetahui proses pengolahan data kecamatan melalui sistem terkomputerisasi dan yang Ketiga sistem ini dapat membantu dalam menentukankecamatan yang berpotensi gawat tuberculosis, sehingga dapat diberikan penanganan lebih kepada para penderita.

Published: July 2021

A modelagem hipsométrica para indivíduos florestais é recorrente na área florestal, havendo necessidade de reafirmar-se métodos e técnicas para mensurar altura e buscar melhores informações para as variáveis dendrométricas. A espécie acácia-negra (Acacia mearsii De Wild.) é reconhecida no sul do Brasil como uma espécie de alto valor comercial, apresentando a quarta maior área plantada de povoamentos florestais no Rio Grande do Sul, dessa forma, estudos a respeito da espécie são de grande importância para o setor florestal. O presente trabalho visa à obtenção de estimativas hipsométricas individuais para árvores de acácia negra, em que (onde) foram propostos e ajustados 50 modelos hipsométricos, usando a Linguagem de Programação Julia. Empregou-se dados de árvores de acácia-negra com idades entre 1 e 10,75 anos, provenientes de um experimento nas regiões de Cristal, Encruzilhada do Sul e Piratini, estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Os dados foram divididos em 4 grupos, de acordo com sua fase de crescimento (Jovem, Média-Inicial, Média-Avançada e Madura). Utilizou-se de 550 árvores para o ajuste de modelos, além de 30 indivíduos de cada grupo, previamente separados de maneira aleatória, para a validação do modelo de melhor desempenho. Avaliou-se os ajustes pelos seguintes critérios: Viés, Precisão, Acurácia e gráficos de dispersão dos resíduos. O modelo Parabólico foi o que melhor se ajustou aos dados nas classes Jovem, e o modelo Exponencial para as demais classes de idades foram os que apresentaram os melhores desempenhos. Sua validação apresentou resultados satisfatórios para o erro padrão da estimativa e para o teste de Qui-quadrado, teve valores de 2,0239, 1,0364, 118,1416 e 0,6158. Sendo assim, observou-se que os modelos são aptos para uso em outras bases de dados com exceção da classe Média-Avançada e que a linguagem de programação Julia é uma alternativa para processos e softwares de linguagem de programação já consolidados na área florestal.

O texto evidencia as relações que se articulam pelos espaços da rede ferroviária no ramal do Paranapanema (PR) numa abordagem territorial, priorizando as relações multidimensionais entre o tempo e espaço. Esse ramal ferroviário inicia seu processo de territorialização no início do século XX, partindo do município de Jaguariaíva a Jacarezinho, nos limites da fronteira paulista. Em relação à dinâmica da ferrovia, consideram- se os movimentos estruturantes e processuais que alteram não apenas as formas e funções da ferrovia, mas as relações políticas, econômicas, sociais e culturais no decorrer das décadas de atividades ferroviárias na região. Ressalta-se o processo de desestatização da ferrovia na década de 1990, culminando na suspensão das atividades ferroviárias e na intensificação da desmantelação do patrimônio ferroviário no ramal do Paranapanema.

Authors:   Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Moscow, Russia, Mirzoev D.A.
Published: July 2021

According to forecast estimates, the depletion of continental oil and gas fields of the Russian Federation is 30 - 50%, and the fields of the continental shelf are less than 1%. Therefore, the main volumes of growth of reserves, oil and gas production in the fuel and energy complex system should be planned at the expense of resources and reserves of the continental shelf. The article considers the principal features of development of oil and gas fields of the continental shelf and criteria determining types of offshore oil and gas fisheries.
Fracture Nucleation Phenomena and Thermally Activated Crack Dynamics in Monocrystals
Authors: Golubović Leonardo , Moldovan Dorel
Published: July 2021

We explore irreversible thermally activated growth of cracks which are shorter than the Griffith length. Such a growth was anticipated in several studies [Golubović, L. & Feng, S., (1991). Rate of microcrack nucleation, Physical Review A 43, 5223. Golubović, L. & Peredera, A., (1995).  Mechanism of time-delayed fractures, Physical Review E 51, 2799]. We explore this thermally activated growth by means of atomistic Monte-Carlo dynamics simulations of stressed monocrystals. This crack growth is stepwise. Each step is marked by nucleation of a microcavity close to the crack tip, and by creation of a passage connecting the microcavity and the crack. If the external tensile stress is weak, many such nucleation events occur before the crack length reaches the Griffith size. In addition to the simulations, we also present an analytic theory of the stepwise thermally activated crack growth. The theory explains surprising observation form our simulations that the thermally activated crack growth remains fairly well directed in spite of the stochastic nature of the crack growth process.
Law of Physics 20th-Century Scientists Overlooked (Part 5): Centrifugal Effect Negation
Authors: Ranzan Conrad
Published: July 2021

Explored is another application of the phenomenally successful DSSU’s aether theory of gravity. It is explained how rotational motion with respect to the universal space medium (aether) determines the centrifugal effect. The article details the conditions involved in the attenuation of the Effect; and the extreme condition under which complete negation occurs. Included is a description of how a totally collapsed star —called a Terminal neutron star— is unable to manifest any centrifugal effects; and how, consequently, it can have no theoretical limit on its rate of rotation. Revealed is the fundamental law governing circular motion. This long-overlooked principle of physics leads to a startling and profound implication: Spiral galaxies are able to maintain their structural integrity without the need for so-called dark matter.
A Novel Approach for Robust Perceptual Image Hashing
Authors: Hadmi Azhar , Rouijel Awatif
Published: July 2021

Perceptual image hashing system generates a short signature called perceptual hash attached to an image before transmission and acts as side information for analyzing the trustworthiness of the received image. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve robustness for perceptual image hashing scheme for generating a perceptual hash that should be resistant to content-preserving manipulations, such as JPEG compression and Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) also should differentiate the maliciously tampered image and its original version. Our algorithm first constructs a robust image, derived from the original input by analyzing the stability of the extracted features and improving their robustness. From the robust image, which does perceptually resemble the original input, we further extract the final robust features. Next, robust features are suitably quantized allowing the generation of the final perceptual hash using the cryptographic hash function SHA1. The main idea of this paper is to transform the original image into a more robust one that allows the extraction of robust features. Generation of the robust image turns out be quite important since it introduces further robustness to the perceptual image hashing system. The paper can be seen as an attempt to propose a general methodology for more robust perceptual image hashing. The experimental results presented in this paper reveal that the proposed scheme offers good robustness against JPEG compression and Additive white Gaussian noise.
Differing Fine-Scale Responses of Vegetation and Bare Soil to Moisture Variation in a Pinyon-Juniper Woodland Underlie Landscape-Scale Responses Observed from Remote Sensing
Authors: Devitt D. A. , Bird B. , Fenstermaker L. , Petrie M. D.
Published: July 2021

Pinyon juniper woodlands in the American southwest face an uncertain ecological future with regard to climate altered precipitation. Although satellite remote sensing will be relied upon to assess the overall health of these plant communities more fine scaled information is needed to elucidate the mechanisms shaping the broader scaled regional assessments. We conducted a study to assess the NDVI response at the plant canopy level (insitu sensors placed over the canopies) of three tree and one shrub species to changes in precipitation, reference evapotranspiration and soil volumetric water content. Landsat data was used to compare stand integrated and satellite NDVI values. We also provided supplemental water in the amount of 10.85 cm over the study period to additional trees and shrubs which also had insitu NDVI sensors placed over their canopies. NDVI at the canopy level separated statistically by species and when contrasted with bare soil (p<0.001). Spring early summer dry down events were inversely related to increasing ETref-precipitation with a steeper dry down slope in the first year associated with no rainfall occurring in May and June. All three-tree species did not show any significant difference in canopy NDVI based on supplemental water, however the shrub species did reveal a significant response to water (p<0.001). Although all of the three-tree species revealed a one-month period in which they responded to precipitation in July of the first year after 11.2 cm of precipitation, no immediate (day of or next day) response was observed to precipitation or supplemental water events. Snowberry was unique in its NDVI response during the spring green up period in the second year revealing a highly linear shift over a 40-day period with a clear separation between treatments (p<0.001) with those plants receiving supplemental water having a higher more positive slope. Landsat NDVI values revealed an inverse sinusoidal relationship with ETref-precipitation (R2=0.59 p=0.012). Landsat values (0.19+/- 0.01) were found to have no significant difference with bare soil NDVI (0.17+/- 0.01) but were significantly different from all four tree and shrub species. Integrated NDVI based on sensor weighted % cover estimates (0.37+/-0.03) were nearly double Landsat values (0.19+/-0.01). Both NDVI values of pinyon pine and Utah juniper were found to be linear correlated with Landsat NDVI in the second Year (R2>0.75, p<0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that 95% of the variation in Landsat NDVI in the second year could be accounted for based on bare soil NDVI and pinyon pine NDVI (p<0.001). et al., NDVI interspace (bare soil) of pinyon juniper woodlands dominated the nature of the Landsat curve. Our results demonstrate the value of ground sensors to help fill the gap between what can be inferred at the forest canopy level and what is occurring at the plant level.

Essential anatomical landmarks in placement of an adequate size mesh for a successful ventral hernia repair
Authors: Skolimowska-Rzewuska Marzena , Mitura Kryspin
Published: July 2021

Safe and effective hernia repair requires a surgeon to have the appropriate knowledge necessary to learn details of the surgical technique. Long-term results of treatment, even with the use of synthetic implants, have shown that recurrences were still a significant clinical problem concerning up to every fourth patient. Therefore, it was pointed out that the mere presence of synthetic material is not a solitary circumstance sufficient for a successful repair. A key finding in recurrence prevention has been to focus surgeons' attention on the relationship between the size of the hernia orifice and the mesh surface. An optimal ratio of these values has not been established yet, however, it is considered that the mesh surface area should be at least sixteen times larger than the area of the abdominal wall defect. In cases of medium and large hernias, in order to place an extensive mesh sheet in the appropriate anatomical space of the abdominal wall, an extensive dissection needs to be performed, including several different compartments. Therefore, a surgeon undertaking a hernia repair needs to know perfectly the anatomy and function of all the myofascial structures involved. Performing an incorrect dissection of a mistaken structure may lead to catastrophic abdominal deformities. Depriving the patient of the natural support of the abdominal wall provided by the muscles may lead to total or partial destabilization of the trunk and lead to disability. In this paper a detailed description of anatomical structures and its practical use has been presented.
Factors affecting D-dimer levels in patients with uncomplicated primary varicose veins
Authors: Zawadzki Paweł , Nowak Anita , Dzieciuchowicz Lukasz
Published: July 2021

Introduction: The diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is hampered in patients with primary varicose veins due to similarity of symptoms of DVT and PVV and elevated levels of D-dimers.

  Aim: The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that influence the D-dimer concentration in patients with PVV in order to redefine its diagnostic value.

 Methods: Forty-one patients with non-complicated PVV were enrolled in the study, in whom D-dimer level was determined by immunoturbidimetric assay. The influence of selected clinical factors on the concentration of D-dimers was determined with univariate and bivariate analysis. Besides descriptive statistics the D-dimers levels were compared to the age -adjusted cutoff values.

 Results: The median concentration of D-dimer was 630.0 ng/ml (440.0–1140.0 ng/ml) and was above the age-adjusted level in 21 (52%) of patients. There was a positive correlation between the patient’s age and and D-dimer concentration (p = 0.035, Spearman correlation coefficient rs = 0,33). The bivariate analysis showed a significant interaction between age and weight p = 0,02.

  Conclusion: In patients with PVV the diagnostic value of D-dimers is limited especially in older and overweight subjects.
Population dynamics and distribution of exotic and native frugivorous insects of citrus in Nsukka, Nigeria
Authors: Onah Ikechukwu Eugene , Eyo Joseph Effiong , Taylor DeMar
Published: July 2021

Invasion of the exotic Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel, 1912) (Tephritidae) has drastically reduced the abundance and distribution of native Ceratitis anonae Graham, 1908 (Tephritidae) and false codling moth Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick, 1913) (Tortricidae) in Nigeria. There is an overlap in resource use among the three frugivorous insects which could result in interspecific competition. Knowledge of the population dynamics and distribution of the three frugivorous insects in the study area is lacking and such data are indispensable for effective management of the tephritid and tortricid pests. The population dynamics and distribution of the three frugivorous insects were investigated to predict the route of invasion and the outcome of interactions among the three frugivorous insects. Bactrocera dorsalis occurred in all the seven Local Government Areas (LGAs) sampled while C. anonae and T. leucotreta occurred together in two LGAs and separately in two other LGAs. The population of B. dorsalis is significantly higher than either C. anonae or T. leucotreta in the study area. The three frugivorous insects are negatively associated with one another but only the association between B. dorsalis and C. anonae was significantly different. Bactrocera dorsalis invaded the study area from southern Nigeria and C. anonae is being driven towards northern Nigeria.

COVID-19 became a pandemic infecting more than 100 million people across the world and has been going on for over a year. A huge amount of data has been produced as electronic medical records in the form of textual data because of patient visits. Extracting this information may be very useful in better understanding the COVID-19 disease. However, challenges exist in interpreting the medical records typed as free text as doctors may use different terms to type in their observations. In order to deal with the latter, we created an ontology in Portuguese to describe the terms used in COVID-19 medical records in Brazil. In this paper, we present a brief overview of the ontology and how we are using it as the first step of a more complex NLP task.

Magnetic susceptibility (MS) has been used to estimate soil attributes. With the proposal to increase the information of soils in southern Brazil the objectives of this work were: (i) evaluate the correlation of SM with soil attributes in a slope of subtropical basaltic soils; (ii) to characterize the spatial variation structure of MS and the content of sand, clay and COS; and (iii) identify the sample density that captures the spatial variability to assist future work under similar conditions. In a 22 ha area located in Santo Augusto - RS, Brazil, an 87 points sample grid was collected to determine soil attributes. Samples were also collected in five profiles along the slope. The profile data were analyzed by correlation to verify the degree of Pearson correlation of the SM with the attributes of the soil. In the sample grid spatial dependence analyzes were performed to assess the degree of spatial dependence on soil attributes. The MS presented a high correlation with the attributes of clay soil, Fes, Fed and COS. The evaluation of the spatial variation structure showed that the attributes presented a degree of spatial dependence ranging from weak for COS to strong for MS. The spatial variability pattern suggests a sample density of one point every 4 to 12 ha.
Non-destructuve testing of wood structures by X-rays
Authors: Josifovski Andrej , Savanović Dijana
Published: July 2021

This work examines the possibility of detecting the weak points of wood structure assembly by non-destructive methods and restoring it, in a timely manner, before it comes to visible damaging. This is the purpose of using X-ray examination for the samples of three types of wood: ring-porous deciduous, diffuse porous deciduous and conifers. The hypothesis was that the permeability of wood to X-ray radiation was inversely proportional to the coefficient of static resistance of wood. The mechanical properties of wood samples used in this work are approximates of their table values of coefficient of static bending stress expressed in MPs. In proving these hypotheses, X-ray machine was used, with a range of work from 40-125 kV and 0.50 =360 m A/s, the same as its usage in humane medicine. This work showed that by X-rays we could successfully establish quality properties of certain types of wood and by that its best usage, which is, for example, of special interest for restoration and reconstruction of objects of cultural and historical value. Non-destructive methods of testing wood structure assembly certainly justify their role in that field and they require further research and development.
Aistheton in the time of socio-political crisis
Authors: Vilić Nebojša
Published: July 2021

The main attempt in this paper is to propose the understanding of the relations between aesthetics and the politics in the thought of Jacques Rancière as a theoretical instrument for implementation in a concrete situation of the protest. From here on, the protest is taken not only as a live social event, but, even more, as a bodily experience with the consequences and results that are occurring out of it. Starting from Rancière's position of the distribution of the sensible and the ways in which the muted subject has to attain his/her right of a speech, the paper deals with several topics across which one can conclude that only the corporeal presence during the protest itself enables the subject to sense the act sensibly. This is a rather different approach to the sensible understanding of the world and the experiences known as the relation between the art and the aesthetics, addressing the aistheton as a simultaneous carrier of denotation of the political. The case study used for this implementation is the so called Colourful Revolution and the "colouring" of the Macedonia Gate in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia.
From the public nature of art to the nature of public art: Considerations on the changing spaces and modes of exhibiting
Authors: Somhegyi Zoltán
Published: July 2021

In this paper I am offering some reflections on the intertwined relationship between works of art and their audience by looking at the changing spaces and ways of exhibiting. While art pieces had often been and still are "public", their status and definition have changed throughout the centuries. After historical considerations I quote some contemporary examples of innovative approaches to the interpretation of the publicness of art. These show new modes of acquiring audience, of re-interpreting the connection between artwork and its public and of reviewing the current state of the art infrastructure and its institutions.
Developing Deroko's theories: Looking for the "incunabula" of Byzantine housing
Authors: Acciai Serena
Published: July 2021

Looking at the Byzantine palaces that have survived through centuries until today, such as the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Palace of Belisarius) in Istanbul, Aleksandar Deroko has underlined the essential distinction between two fundamental genres of Byzantine houses: monumental palaces made of stone and bricks and everyday houses made with a wooden structure. For centuries, the ordinary Byzantine house was considered as a "Turkish type". Deroko maintained that this classification was erroneous, as the Ottomans actually inherited "the Byzantine house" when they conquered the vast territory of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine house was adopted by the Ottomans and the people under their domination, and over the centuries it spread over a broad geographical area - from Anatolia to North Africa and to the Balkans. Unsurprisingly, it did not reflect a single heritage; instead, it mirrored the various cultures that fell under its rule. Based on Deroko's theories, one could consider locations such as Mount Athos, Ioannina, Prizren, Ohrid, Elena and even certain villages of Arbëreshë (Italo-Albanian) communities of South Italy as the "incunabula (the first examples, the origins) of Byzantine housing". Probably, thanks to their morphological characteristics and geographical isolation, some elements of this building type are still visible in these locations, even though they have been integrated into the local housing cultures. These buildings give subtle glimpses of the everyday Byzantine house.
Multi-criteria evaluation of beauty in architecture
Authors: Szuba Bogusław
Published: July 2021

The article deals with the problems of beauty in architecture found in various layers of meaning related to: (*) the creative idea of the planned investment; (*) the ability to determine the right place for the planned investment, harmonising architecture in the space of the location with special consideration of the natural environment; (*) communication and information with the environment; (*) respect for tradition and custom cultivated in the local socio-cultural environment, paying attention to the historical continuity and coherence of the architectural forms used; (*) creativity of shaping space; (*) precision and innovation of the functional and used spatial solutions; (*) partnership relationship with the neighbourhood; (*) broadly understood of participation in the investment process; (*) giving meanings triggering the philosophical message and transcendence; (*) proper use and management; (*) achieving social and cultural goals; (*) ability of planning the transformation / revitalising existing architectural objects. The research method is the analysis of listed components based on literature sources and examples of architectural objects or urban complexes. The considerations lead to the thesis: Beauty in architecture is a state of harmony of aesthetic and utilitarian values of the shaped space in the relations of a creative response to broadly understood conditions of the local, natural, socio-cultural and built environment.
Aesthetics of sustainability: Capsule architecture in the city and in nature
Authors: Šenk Peter
Published: July 2021

Architecture of minimum dwellings has been a hot topic recently. When minimum dwellings are compact, well-equipped, connected to the network, structurally, functionally and visually recognized as one thing, temporary and mobile or transportable, they may be designated as capsule architecture. Temporary by nature, these small dwellings, shelters, redesigned container units, special technological structures, parasites and other manifestations of the capsules concept encompass the logic of technological facilities with a distinct architectural expression. At the same time, it is a manifestation of the rule of sustainable design, sustainable architecture and sustainability in general. In this context, the case of small dwellings shows its difference as opposed to other sustainable architecture approaches and aesthetics. It subverts the generally sustainable approaches with exposed importance of locality within the global forces, usually relying on context - location, local culture and environmental characteristics, etc. The aesthetic regime of temporary, changeable, a-contextual and autonomous architectural structures can be regarded as an aesthetics of otherness, which relates them to the legacy of the Modern movement's existenzminimum experiments, the New Brutalism, radical experiments of the 1960s and other avantgarde and NEO-avantgarde practices of the twentieth century, but firmly placed in the context of individualized, indeterminate, dispersed and ambiguous contemporaneity.
The death of aesthetics in architectural education? Possibilities for contemporary pedagogy
Authors: Jadrešin-Milić Renata , Mitchell Catherine
Published: July 2021

The importance of aesthetics within architecture has a long history. Although evidence suggests that the term was not brought into architectural writing until 17351 , the place of aesthetics can be identified across architectural theory and philosophy since the time of Vitruvius. Developing an aesthetic sensibility was seen as crucial for an architect and the study of architecture was understood through the three Vitruvian lenses (utlitas, firmitas, venustas) one of which, venustas, is directly associated with aesthetics. This paper responds to the current and ongoing discussions between architects, architectural educators and architectural students on the role of aesthetics in architectural education and professional practice today. It was initially inspired by questions raised at the 2017 and 2018 annual conferences of the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH 2017 and 2018) about the role of architectural history in architectural design and practice today, and in line with this, questions about place of aesthetics in architectural education. This paper considers the place of aesthetics in architectural education and provides a detailed overview of the key pedagogical interventions undertaken in one architectural studies programme which might serve as a guide for educators interested in maintaining the place of aesthetics in contemporary architectural education. It suggests that aesthetics can continue to play a key role in the architectural curriculum whilst a focus on design problem-solving and achieving the contemporary educational requirements of accreditation is maintained.
Review of therapeutic options for spinal muscular atrophy

Published: July 2021

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is uncommon genetic (autosomal recessive) disease that deteriorates neuromuscular function of the affected person's body by causing lower motor neuron damage, progress in muscle atrophy and in advanced cases leads to paralysis of muscles. Mainly skeletal and respiratory muscles are involved. SMA is present due to lack of SMA proteins, which are encoded by survival motor neuron-1 (SMN-1) genes. In mutation of SMN-1 genes, deficiency of SMN proteins occurs. SMA affects all age groups, but mainly and most severely children younger than 6 months of age. At present, risdiplam is a treatment option and the drug has been approved by the US Food Drug and Administration on 7 August 2020. The availability of the drug has led to increased financial, ethical and medical problems. SMA affected populations are regularly challenged to these issues.

Introduction: Thanks to ever-growing advances in medical science, couples who are in the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) now have more options than ever to encase their chances at a successful pregnancy. One of the options is the use of EmbryoGlue (EG), that creates a bridge between the embryo and the uterus and provides protection to the embryo itself during the transfer process. Aim of this study was to determine whether EG medium is of greater importance for embryo implantation than conventional medium in assisted reproductive technology and compare the rate of embryo implantation with EG and conventional medium in relation to the quality of the embryo, the age of the patients and tobacco smoking. Methods: The retrospective study included 50 patients who used EG medium in embryo transfer (ET) and 50 patients in the control group using conventional medium. All patients underwent ET after stimulation of the cycle according to a short protocol. ETs were done on Day 2, 3, or 5 in the blastocyst stage. Age and smoking status were recorded. Results: Out of a total of 100 patients, 42 patients had successful implantation and positive b-hCG 15 days after ET. In a control group 38 % had positive b-hCG and in the group of patients who used EG 46 %. A higher rate of embryo implantation success was observed on the second day of transfer in the group of patients using EG. In the EG group a significant increase in the embryo implantation rate was observed in patients older than 35. In tobacco smokers the implantation rate was higher if they used EG during ET. Conclusion: EG medium had a positive effect on the second day of ET, patients above the age of 35 and patients who were tobacco smokers.
