Authors: Shcherban Igor , Kosenko Peter , Shcherban Oxana , Lobzenko Paul 
Published: October 2020

Introduction: The olfactory system in chronic animal experiments is studied according to the records of bioelectric activity recorded with microelectrode arrays located on the dorsal surface of the olfactory bulb. It is believed that the response of the olfactory bulb bioelectric activity to the odorant presentation is associated with fluctuations synchronized by respiration and belonging to the range of so-called gamma rhythms. Purpose: To develop a method of automatic search for time boundaries of odor-induced gamma rhythm patterns in the bioelectric activity of an olfactory bulb. Results: The complexity of automatic search for odor-induced patterns are due to masking them by spontaneous oscillations of gamma rhythms unrelated to the olfactory system activity. Besides, the modal frequency of the patterns is a priori unknown and changes dynamically during an experiment on an anesthetized animal. The Hausdorff distance is used as a cost function of the search. In order to increase its sensitivity, an adaptive band-pass filter was synthesized based on a multichannel singular spectrum analysis. Its passband in the analyzed time sample corresponds best to the spectrum of the required patterns. The results of experiments on rats are presented. The use of band-pass filters based on the Fourier transform with parameters unchanged during the experiment due to the non-stationary nature of the frequency characteristics of the desired patterns does not ensure their effective search. In particular, when using the Butterworth band-pass filter in the search algorithm, significant errors were observed in determining the time boundaries of the epochs of patterns, and omissions of patterns. But the use of a synthesized adaptive band-pass filter provided reliable automatic search for patterns and determination of their time boundaries with a high accuracy. Algorithm failures in this case were observed only in rat motion artifacts. Practical relevance: The developed method extends the existing tools used to study the olfactory system of a living organism.

BACKGROUND: Umbilical venous catheters (UVC) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are commonly used in preterms. UVC is cheap, easy to insert but has shorter dwell time. UVC is replaced after 7 days due to the risk of complications. This is associated with increased cost, work, and risk of nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to determine the antenatal and postnatal factors that predict the need for a central line for more than 7 days, thus helping select between UVC or PICC on day 1 of life in babies ≤1500 grams. METHODS: We retrospectively collected antenatal and postnatal data of VLBW neonates over a period of 1 year who needed CL during their NICU stay. We then divided them into two cohorts. Group 1: CL ≤7 days. Group 2: CL > 7 days. RESULTS: Sepsis and catheter complications were lower with use of a single CL or duration being ≤7 days. Birth weight, incomplete/no antenatal steroids, need for resuscitation, low Apgar’s, RDS, hs-PDA, and initiation of feeds beyond 24 hours of birth were significant. The score was devised based on factors found significant that had an acceptable AUC of 0.767 on ROC analysis with a score of 1 or above having 74.8% sensitivity and 67.7% specificity for prediction of need for CL > 7 days. CONCLUSIONS: Birth weight ≤1000 grams, incomplete steroids and need for resuscitation at birth were predictive of the need of CL beyond seven days, on day one of life.

Background: Elective or emergency caesarean sections are routinely done under spinal anaesthesia (SA) with bolus dose of local anaesthetic drugs. Objective: To compared fractionated dose with bolus dose in SA for haemodynamic stability and duration of analgesia in patients undergoing elective lower segment caesarean section (LSCS).
Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Anaesthesiology, Ad-din Akij Medical College Hospital, Khulna from January 2018 to December 2018 on sixty female patients (thirty in each group) of the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I–III, age from 18 to 40 years, height from 140 to 180 cm, singleton pregnancies scheduled for elective LSCS under SA. Patients with pre-existing diseases or pregnancy-induced hypertension, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, any contraindication to SA, those weighing <50 kg or >110 kg and those taller than 180 cm or shorter than 140 cm and severely altered mental status, spine deformities or history of laminectomy were excluded from the study.
Results: The mean duration of analgesia was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. Mean pulse rate- after 5 min, after 10 min, after 15 min, after 30 min, after 45 min and after 60 min were significantly (p<0.05) higher in group F than group B. Mean arterial pressure- before given study drug, after 0 min, after 5 min, after 10 min, after 15 min, after 30 min, after 45 min and after 60 min were not significantly (p>0.05) between two group. 14 patients (46.7%) in group B and 5 patients (16.7%) in group F required vasopressor. The difference was significant (p<0.05) between two groups.
Conclusion: Separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture dose of SA provides better haemodynamic stability and longer period of analgesia compare to bolus dose in patients undergoing elective caesarean section.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
The structure of hadrons (protons) and the dynamics of their interaction are usually studied in collisional experiments by exploring hard single parton–parton scattering described in terms of structure functions (single-particle distributions). Completely new and unique information comes from the selection and analysis of events in which two (or more) hard parton scatterings concurrently occur in a single
(Tevatron; FermiLab, USA) or pp (LHC; CERN, Switzerland) collision. The simulation of such double (multiple) parton scatterings involves two-parton (multiparton) distribution functions. Properties of these functions, which may be extracted from quantum chromodynamics, are reviewed.

Published: October 2020

Background: Thrombolysis, with or without thrombectomy, for acute ischaemic stroke is associated with an increased risk of intracranial bleeding. We assessed whether treatment with glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), a nitric oxide donor, may influence the associated bleeding risk.Methods: We searched for completed randomized controlled trials of GTN vs. no GTN in acute ischaemic stroke with data on reperfusion treatments (thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy). The primary efficacy outcome was functional status as assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at day 90; the primary safety outcome was intracranial bleeding. Secondary safety outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and haemorrhagic transformation of infarction. Individual patient data were pooled and meta-analysis performed using ordinal or binary logistic regression with adjustment for trial and prognostic variables both overall and in those randomized within 6 h of symptom onset.Results: Three trials met the eligibility criteria. Of 715 patients with ischaemic stroke who underwent thrombolysis (709, &gt;99%) or thrombectomy (24, 3.4%), 357 (49.9%) received GTN and 358 (50.1%) received no GTN. Overall, there was no difference in the distribution of the mRS at day 90 between GTN vs. no GTN (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.72–1.23; p = 0.65); similarly, there was no difference in intracranial hemorrhage rates between treatment groups (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.43–1.89; p = 0.77). In those randomized to GTN vs. no GTN within 6 h of symptom onset, there were numerically fewer bleeding events, but these analyses did not reach statistical significance.Conclusions: In ischaemic stroke patients treated predominantly with thrombolysis, transdermal GTN was safe, but did not influence functional outcome at 90 days.
Exposing Empirical Links between COVID-19 Situation Report and Available Data: The Case of Nigeria
Authors: Zakariya Yusuf F. 
Published: October 2020

Ever since the index case of COVID-19 was announced in Nigeria, the number of confirmed cases has gradually increased to 46,140 (about 4.5% of total confirmed cases in Africa) as the time of writing this article. This seemingly low number of confirmed cases has provoked heated debates among researchers. This cross-sectional study explores the Nigerian COVID-19 report to expose some links between the number of confirmed cases, testing, and some environmental conditions. The findings reveal that there is no state in Nigeria which has up to 12 confirmed cases per 10,000 population. That means, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is less than 0.15% of the population of people across each state in Nigeria. On the flip side, it was revealed that the proportion of samples tested for COVID-19 is low compared to the population. The percentages ranging from less than 0.1% to a maximum of 0.7% of each state population in which 23 states out of the 37 states are within the less than 0.1% range. Furthermore, there is a substantial correlation (ρ (37)=0.903, p< 0.001) between the confirmed cases and testing. In contrast, no substantial correlation was found between the former with either average temperature or rainfall.

BackgroundThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has passed its first peak in Europe.AimTo describe the mortality in England and its association with SARS-CoV-2 status and other demographic and risk factors.Design and settingCross-sectional analyses of people with known SARS-CoV-2 status in the Oxford RCGP Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC) sentinel network.MethodPseudonymised, coded clinical data were uploaded from volunteer general practice members of this nationally representative network (n= 4 413 734). All-cause mortality was compared with national rates for 2019, using a relative survival model, reporting relative hazard ratios (RHR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI). A multivariable adjusted odds ratios (OR) analysis was conducted for those with known SARS-CoV-2 status (n= 56 628, 1.3%) including multiple imputation and inverse probability analysis, and a complete cases sensitivity analysis.ResultsMortality peaked in week 16. People living in households of ≥9 had a fivefold increase in relative mortality (RHR = 5.1, 95% CI = 4.87 to 5.31,P<0.0001). The ORs of mortality were 8.9 (95% CI = 6.7 to 11.8,P<0.0001) and 9.7 (95% CI = 7.1 to 13.2,P<0.0001) for virologically and clinically diagnosed cases respectively, using people with negative tests as reference. The adjusted mortality for the virologically confirmed group was 18.1% (95% CI = 17.6 to 18.7). Male sex, population density, black ethnicity (compared to white), and people with long-term conditions, including learning disability (OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.22 to 3.18,P= 0.0056) had higher odds of mortality.ConclusionThe first SARS-CoV-2 peak in England has been associated with excess mortality. Planning for subsequent peaks needs to better manage risk in males, those of black ethnicity, older people, people with learning disabilities, and people who live in multi-occupancy dwellings.

Published: October 2020

Purpose- To conduct a survey study on Co-Creation performance analysis on XL SIM card users on XL interactive fan page. Co-creation, as a marketing strategy, aims at building character and improving product performance through collaboration with customers. This strategy is expected to increase sales and potential markets. Telecommunication is one of the industrial sectors with greatly potential market
Design/Methodology/Approach The research method used was cross-sectional method. This study was carried out with the margin of error 0.05, the degrees of freedom of dk (n-2), and one-sided test; one-tailed test. Hypothesis testing was used to determine whether the hypothesis was accepted or rejected.
Findings- Co-creation performance on XL product comprised of Interaction Across, Option, Access, and Price experience. The assessment of access had highest dimension in creating customer value and had impact on customer satisfaction. On the contrary, option dimension was the lowest one.
Research Limitations/Implications- Co-creation had come to be value-added product as the result of collaboration between producer and customers. However, the customers considered the performance of co-creation; option dimension, did not work effectively.
Practical Implications- The results indicated that value dimension had highest average on the co-creation performance of XL sim card users. Contrarily, the smallest value obtained was option dimension. This implied that XL had provided enough access between customers and the company. Accordingly, the company knows exactly customers' needs and expectation. The customers can also choose what they need and expect from the product used.
Waste Anesthetic Gase : A Forgotten Problems
Authors: Andi Miarta  , Lestari Mayang Indah , Zulkifli  
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT
Waste anesthetic gas (WAG) is a small amount of inhaled anesthetic gas that comes out of the patient’s anesthesia breathing circuit into the envorinment air while the patient is under anesthesia. According to American Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) more than 200.000 healthcare workers especially aneaesthesiologist, surgery nurse, obstetrician and surgeons are at risk of developing work-related disease due to chronic exposure to WAG. Exposure to WAG in short time associated with multiple problems such as headaches, irritability, fatigue, nausea, drowsiness, decrease work efficiency and difficulty with judgment and coordination. While chronic exposure of WAG is associated with genotoxicity, mutagenicity, oxidative stress, fatigue, headache, irritability, nausea, nephrotoxic, neurotoxic, hepatotoxic, immunosuppressive and reproductive toxicological effect. Waste anesthetic gases are known as environmental pollutants and will be released from the OR to the outside environment then the substance will reach the atmosphere damaging ozone layer. Exposure to trace WAG in the perioperative environment cannot be eliminated completely, but it can be controlled. Controlling WAG can be achieve by using scavenging system, proper ventilation, airway management, ideal anesthetic choice, maintaining anesthesia machine and equipment, hospital regulation and routine healthcare workers health status examination.
