AbstractHealth is a fundamental human right and nurses are considered as the indispensible members of the health team. Nursing education is growing on one side and need for qualified nurses is on the rise owing to growing disease burden. Today nursing practice is within the perview of quality control. Technology oriented nursing of today welcomes nurses with clinical and and technical competency. Knowing the perspectives of consumers and providers in India is very essential at this stage of an attempt of globalizing nursing. In this survey an attempt was made to realize the current perceptions of doctors, nurses, nurse educators and in-patientson nursing practice. The perceptions of consumers significantly varied from other health health team memebrs and this calls the nursing community to unite to raise to the status and standard of nursing.

AbstractMobile phones have been widely used for several decades, but the smartphones are a more recent advance. The latest generation of smartphones are increasingly viewed as handheld computers rather than as just phones, due to their powerful on-board computing capability and open operating systems that encourage application download and development. In a relatively short period of time, smartphone technology has penetrated significantly into society from school children to senior citizens. The level of smartphone usage by medical students and professionals is increasing day by day with the extensive availability of downloadable medical applications related to medical education and health. This article mentions about the useful and popular smartphone applications for medical students and practitioners which helps to integrate technology into clinical practice.
PRESENCE OF TRIPLE GANTZER'S MUSCLE - A RARE ANATOMICAL VARIATION
Authors: Nayak Soubhagya R. , Sharma Suranjali , Dasgupta Hasi , Bhattacharya Kalyan 
Published: April 2020

AbstractAnomalous muscles usually do not result in adverse symptoms but are of academic interest. However, these muscles can create neurovascular compression at times. Muscle anomalies of the upper extremity are recognized causes of peripheral nerve disorder. Koloh-Nevin Syndrome (Anterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome) caused by the compression neuropathy of the anterior interosseous nerve in the forearm is believed to occur because of its compression by the accessory heads of flexor pollics longus (FPLah) and flexor digitorum profundus (FDPah). The above two accessory muscles are also called Gantzer's muscle. During routine cadaveric dissection, we encountered multiple Gantzer's muscles in a 60 year-old- formalin embalmed male cadaver. Along with the usual FPLah and FDPah described by Gantzer, we too observed an accessory muscle in relation to the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS). All the three anomalous muscles had a common origin from the under cover of the FDS fibers and by fibrous band above the insertion of brachialis. The presence of multiple additional muscles in the forearm flexor compartment is rare and clinically significant.

Published: April 2020

AbstractInjury to anterior teeth is a relatively common event. Dentists regularly deal with management of dental trauma and restoration of fractured teeth. Hence the treatment approach and medicaments that assures the biologically acceptable healing and improve long term success rate are of potential value and should be considered.A big cystic lesion, which is unable to heal non-surgically, heals well with use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA Angelus) by surgical approach. Results of clinical trials have recommended the use of MTA as the most suitable root end filling material.This article presents the case report of management of big cystic lesion along with the lateral root perforation with maxillary left central incisor. Root canal treatment was followed by the resection of root end of tooth in question at the level of perforation and sealed with MTA. 12 month's follow up radiograph showed completely healed Cystic lesion.
FRONTAL SINUS MUCOCELE FOLLOWING A TRIVIAL FACIAL TRAUMA, PRESENTING AS A PYOCELE- A CASE REPORT
Authors: Bhandary Satheesh Kumar , Bhat Vadisha Srinivas , Khanna Rishi Ajay 
Published: April 2020

AbstractMucocele of the praranasal sinus is a slowly expanding epithelial-lined lesion containing inspissated mucus that fills the sinus cavity. It can erode bone and therefore may extend intraorbitally or intracranially. Mucocele develop when the mucous outflow from a sinus is obstructed. When a mucocele becomes infected, it is called a pyocele. Here we are presenting a case of frontal sinus mucocele developed following a trivial facial trauma, which later presented a pyocele. Diagnosis was confirmed with CT scan and the pyocele was treated with endoscopic marsupialization.
Noninvasive Monitoring and Neurointerventional Management of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Authors: Lang Matthew , Mathew Sunu , Harris Alon , Tejada Juan , Kovoor Jerry M. 
Published: April 2020

AbstractIdiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by isolated rise in intracranial pressure (ICP) leading to chronic, debilitating headaches, tinnitus, and vision loss. Conventional diagnostics and monitoring primarily require the use of invasive procedure like lumbar puncture to measure ICP, while traditional management strategies involve weight reduction and medical treatment with acetazolamide. In an effort to reduce the need for invasive procedures, noninvasive methods of ICP monitoring such as optic nerve sheath diameter measurements and two-depth transcranial Doppler ultrasonography have been developed. In cases of refractory and fulminant IIH, surgical management strategies such as optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF), ventriculoperitoneal (VP) and lumboperitoneal (LP) shunting, and transverse venous sinus stenting are used to relieve symptoms via ICP reduction. While ONSF and VP/LP shunting exhibit utility primarily for the treatment of vision loss and headache, respectively, venous sinus stenting may prove to be an effective option in the management of all symptoms of IIH. Most importantly, consideration of the patient’s individual symptoms and values should be taken into account when choosing the optimal surgical management strategy for patients with IIH.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background The acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is the most important cause of mortality in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Given that it occurs at the stage of severe tissue damage, its diagnosis is late. With the advancement of machine learning (ML), promising real-time models to predict aGvHD have emerged.
Objective This article aims to synthesize the literature on ML classification algorithms for predicting aGvHD, highlighting algorithms and important predictor variables used.
Methods A systemic review of ML classification algorithms used to predict aGvHD was performed using a search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Springer, and IEEE Xplore databases undertaken up to April 2019 based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements. The studies with a focus on using the ML classification algorithms in the process of predicting of aGvHD were considered.
Results After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14 studies were selected for evaluation. The results of the current analysis showed that the algorithms used were Artificial Neural Network (79%), Support Vector Machine (50%), Naive Bayes (43%), k-Nearest Neighbors (29%), Regression (29%), and Decision Trees (14%), respectively. Also, many predictor variables have been used in these studies so that we have divided them into more abstract categories, including biomarkers, demographics, infections, clinical, genes, transplants, drugs, and other variables.
Conclusion Each of these ML algorithms has a particular characteristic and different proposed predictors. Therefore, it seems these ML algorithms have a high potential for predicting aGvHD if the process of modeling is performed correctly.
Hyperpronation versus Supination–Flexion in Radial Head Subluxation Reduction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Porozan Samaneh , Forouzan Arash , Hassanzadeh Rayeheh 
Published: April 2020

AbstractRadial head subluxation (RHS) is the most common upper extremity injury in children. Supination–flexion (SF) and hyperpronation (HP) are two methods for reducing this subluxation. This study purposed to compare the success rates of two methods of reduction and also to determine which technique would be less painful. In total, 154 patients with RHS were enrolled in this study and randomized into two groups. Patients were to undergo reduction by one of the two methods; if the primary attempt was unsuccessful, a second attempt was performed using the alternate technique. In the case of failure of the second attempt, the first reduction technique was repeated. The success rates and pain levels before and after successful reduction were recorded. On the first attempt, 72 of 77 patients who underwent HP had a successful reduction. Four patients in the HP group had a successful reduction on the second attempt. In the SF group, 76 of 77 patients had a successful reduction on the first attempt. The success rate on first attempts was higher in the SF group than in the HP group (p = 0.043). Pain levels before and after reduction were not statistically different between the groups (p > 0.05). The SF technique had a higher success rate at first attempt to reduce RHS, but pain levels were similar in both methods.
New insights into Early Old English from recent Anglo-Saxon runic finds
Authors: Hines John 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThe standard methods of philological reconstruction usually enable us to work back from the earliest recorded examples of a particular language and to reconstruct earlier stages – especially when the language in question has known close relatives. The Early Old English of the 7th to 9th centuries AD is far from unrecorded. In light of both of those facts, it is remarkable how far newly found specimens of the language, in runic inscriptions, are revealing quite new aspects of Old English. This paper considers three such examples in detail, all of them containing grammatically complete sentences. The evidence includes not only a previously unidentified runic graph, with its own implications for phonological awareness in the users of the runic script in Anglo-Saxon England, but also a range of morphological and lexical phenomena that altogether shed considerable light on varieties of Old English as early as the 8th century and on the value of this material for understanding the developing role of literacy across the period too.
Raetic and Runes

Published: April 2020

AbstractThe paper investigates the potential role of the Raetic inscription corpus for the derivation of the Germanic futhark. It gives an overview of the North Italic corpora and the current state of research, focussing on the Raetic epigraphical evidence. A detailed comparison of the grapheme inventories of Raetic and Runic as well as their respective epigraphical characteristics shows that the Raetic alphabets do not serve as convincing models for the Runic script.

Published: April 2020

AbstractScoring functions (SFs) based on complex machine learning (ML) algorithms have gradually emerged as a promising alternative to overcome the weaknesses of classical SFs. However, extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of SFs based on new protein–ligand interaction representations and advanced alternative ML algorithms instead of the energy components obtained by the decomposition of existing SFs. Here, we propose a new method named energy auxiliary terms learning (EATL), in which the scoring components are extracted and used as the input for the development of three levels of ML SFs including EATL SFs, docking-EATL SFs and comprehensive SFs with ascending VS performance. The EATL approach not only outperforms classical SFs for the absolute performance (ROC) and initial enrichment (BEDROC) but also yields comparable performance compared with other advanced ML-based methods on the diverse subset of Directory of Useful Decoys: Enhanced (DUD-E). The test on the relatively unbiased actives as decoys (AD) dataset also proved the effectiveness of EATL. Furthermore, the idea of learning from SF components to yield improved screening power can also be extended to other docking programs and SFs available.

Authors: Gharpure Radhika , Bliton John , Goodman Alexandra , Ali Ibne Karim M , Yoder Jonathan , Cope Jennifer R 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Background
Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a rapidly progressive and often fatal condition caused by the free-living ameba Naegleria fowleri. To estimate the global occurrence, characterize the epidemiology, and describe the clinical features of PAM, we report a series of PAM cases published in the international literature and reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Methods
We performed a literature search of PAM case reports published through 2018. Additionally, we included cases reported through the CDC’s Free-Living Ameba surveillance or diagnosed via CDC’s Free-Living and Intestinal Amebas Laboratory. Cases were classified as confirmed, probable, or suspect on the basis of confirmatory testing, presentation, exposure, and disease course.

Results
A total of 381 PAM cases were identified. Seven reported survivors were classified as confirmed. The most commonly reported exposure associated with PAM was swimming/diving, and the most common class of water source was lakes/ponds/reservoirs. Patients were predominantly male (75%), with a median age of 14 years. Confirmed and probable cases were similar in their survival, course of illness, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings.

Conclusions
PAM is a rare but deadly disease with worldwide occurrence. Improved clinician awareness, resulting in earlier diagnosis and treatment, may contribute to increased survival among PAM patients. The case definition of probable used in this study appears to capture cases of PAM, as evidenced by similarities in outcomes, clinical course, and CSF profile to confirmed cases. In the absence of confirmatory testing, clinicians could use this case definition to identify cases of PAM.
School Social Work and the Educational Justice Movement: A Snapshot of Practice
Authors: Ball Annahita , Skrzypek Candra 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Educational disparities and disproportionalities for oppressed children signal the need for an educational justice movement that focuses on macro-level changes within and outside of the educational system. School social workers are uniquely trained to engage in activities that promote educational justice, yet most school social workers focus on micro-level practice with individuals. Drawing on Teasley’s practice recommendations to improve educational outcomes for African American urban youths, this study examined the extent to which school social workers engage in macro-level practice strategies that promote educational justice. Cross-sectional survey data were collected from 112 school social workers. Results indicated that most participants reported little engagement in macro-level practice in support of educational justice, most notably in relation to leadership and public policy advocacy and school choice. Social workers reported the most engagement in areas associated with typical practice, such as family engagement and schoolwide needs assessment. Implications for school social work training, practice, and future research are discussed.

Abstract
The construction of high-rise buildings has attracted human attention at the beginning of human civilizations’ formation. Presently, making tall buildings is considered as a necessary requirement due to the succeeding reasons: the population increase, the tendency to live in urban centers, the land utilization in the most populated centers of the cities, the need to decrease the cost of horizontal development of cities and technological advances. During the last century, issues related to environmental pollution and high energy use have affected these tall buildings. So, it is crucial to apply appropriate methods and patterns in order to adjust their environmental impacts as much as possible. In addition, the building industry accounts for a significant amount of energy consumption in the world. Therefore, energy-saving and efficiency can be mentioned as a significant issue due to the limitation of fossil resources. The importance of this issue has been increased by eliminating subsidies and realizing the price of fuels in Iran. Efforts in the field of high-rise buildings in Iran are chiefly based on general criteria regarding the location and characteristics of urban imagery and the field of urban design knowledge. The efforts contributed to the energy consumption have not been carried out. The present study provides patterns for the aim of designing high-rise buildings with official use in Tabriz and Yazd. The solutions for the opening design of tall buildings with regular forms to reduce energy consumption are proposed in this study.
Effects of Acaricides on the Functional and Numerical Responses of the Phytoseid Predator Neoseiulus idaeus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to Spider Mite Eggs

Published: April 2020

AbstractIntegrated control tactics are often necessary for pest management. This is especially true for organisms such as the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch. The management of this mite pest species relies on pesticide use, but its short life cycle associated with high selection pressure results in frequent problems of acaricide resistance and population outbreaks. Therefore, combining acaricides and natural enemies is an appealing strategy for managing this pest species. The predatory mite Neoseiulus idaeus Denmark & Muma (Phytoseiidae) is important in arid environments, where other natural enemies show low efficacy. Thus, we investigated the effects of representative acaricides used for managing spider mites around the world in several crops (i.e., abamectin, fenpyroximate, and azadirachtin), on the functional and numerical responses of the phytoseid predator N. idaeus to increasing egg densities of its prey. Acaricide exposure did not affect the type of N. idaeus functional response or attack rate (a). However, acaricide exposure decreased the amount of consumed prey and increased prey handling time (Th). All acaricides affected the numerical response of the predator, which reduced oviposition rates. Therefore, caution is required in attempts to integrate the control methods.
Estimating a non-neutral production function
Authors: Antonioli Davide , Gioldasis Georgios , Musolesi Antonio 
Published: April 2020

AbstractIn this article we estimate a production function that allows us to depart from the standard hypothesis of Hicks neutrality (HN) while also coping with the endogeneity of a dummy innovation variable. We consider specifications that relax HN, and we derive the testable conditions for common parametric approximations under which HN holds. The model is estimated using instrumental variable methods, allowing innovation to have a heterogeneous effect on the production process. The econometric analysis rejects HN and highlights three main features: a biased technical change (TC), with a higher ratio between the marginal product of labour and the marginal product of capital for innovative firms; a locally progressive TC; fully heterogeneous technologies when comparing innovative to non-innovative firms. We also address other issues, taking a closer look at the effect of process innovation and the role of sector heterogeneity and considering the potential endogeneity of labour input.
