A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE CLINICAL PROFILE OF MULTIPLE GESTATIONS: A HOSPITAL BASED SURVEY
Authors: Warsi Shahnawaz Hasnain , Mishra Kripa Nath 
Published: September 2020

Background: Monochorionic twins showed increased incidence of discordant growth as compared to dichorionic twins. Studies have reported fivefold mortality of twins in comparison with singleton pregnancy. In this a prospective study is done to assess the perinatal, neonatal mortality and morbidity in multiple gestations. Zygosity determines the degree of risk of chromosomal abnormalities in each fetus of a multiple gestation. The risk for aneuploidy in each fetus of an MZ pregnancy is the same as a singleton pregnancy, and except for rare cases of genetic discordancy, both fetuses are affected. In a DZ pregnancy, each twin has an independent risk for aneuploidy, and therefore has twice the risk of having a chromosomal abnormality compared with a singleton.
Material and methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Paediatrics Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Darbhanga Bihar India. The time period of the study from May 2019 to feb 2020. The total number of multiple gestation 160 include in this study.
Results: Total 160 twins were studied, out of which preterm deliveries constituted 80.6% of all deliveries. Most of the mothers were between 24 to 30 year age group 70(43.8 %) followed by 18 to 24 year 55 (34.4 %) and most of them were primi 97(60.6%) and followed by gravid 2 was 54 (33.8%). Out of 160 patients 29 patient s was family history of twining in 18.1% of the study group. Assisted reproductive techniques such as clomiphene cirate,IUI and IVF were used by 19.4% of couples. Dichorinic diamniotic twins accounted for 84.4% and Dichorinic triamniotic 2.4 % of the total multiple deliveries. Normal Vaginal delivery was done for 65.6% of twins and LSCS for 34.4%.
Conclusion: Most common type of delivery was vaginal delivery (65.6%) followed by LSCS (34.4%).Out of the variables studied, significant influence on neonatal mortality was seen only with discordant twins

Published: September 2020

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virus, causative agent in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is fast becoming a major threat in the Indian subcontinent, with an estimated 3.7 million persons being infected with HIV. HIV infection is complicated by various opportunistic infections (OIs) such as tuberculosis (TB), candidiasis, herpes zoster, Pneumocystis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) etc. This study carried out to know the clinical profile opportunistic infections in HIV seropositive patients. The aim of this study to determine the opportunistic infections in adult AIDS patients.
Material and methods: A total of 200 patients were tested for opportunistic infections in HIV patients. All the specimens were processed as per standard procedures to detect opportunistic infections.
Results: 200 cases that satisfied the inclusion criteria were considered for the study. Of the 200 individuals analyzed, 133 (66.5%) were males and 67 (33.5%) were females. The maximum number of patients who had opportunistic infections fell in the age group of 25-35yrs, 94 (47%), followed by the age group below 25 yrs, 53 (26.5%) and most of the occupants, who harboured opportunistic infections were labourer (49.5%), n=49, followed by driver 17.5% and then housewives 13%. The tuberculosis is the most frequent opportunistic infections accounting for 52.5% of all opportunistic infections, followed by candidiasis in 50.5% of cases and followed by pneumocystosis in 17%, cryptosporidiosis in 10.5%.
Conclusions: Respiratory system was the most common system involved by OIs. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of opportunistic infections is important before development of severe immunodeficiency to prevent serious and fatal outcome.

Published: September 2020

Study of AMH levels of patients of ART Centre and its variations has clinical relevance in the field of assisted reproductive technology. Diminished ovarian reserve has become a major cause of infertility. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) seems to be a promising candidate to assess ovarian reserve and predict the response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). The study is a prospective, observational study carried in Department of Anatomy in collaboration with Assisted Reproductive Technology centre at a tertiary care teaching hospital. The study is carried out on eighty females who had reported to ART centre for treatment for the first time, because of involuntary childlessness with at least 1 year of unprotected intercourse without pregnancy. In our study, eighty females were divided into four groups depending upon their AMH levels. The number of oocytes collected from each female on the day of oocyte pickup was documented. Comparison with previous studies was done. Knowledge of AMH levels will help gynaecologist to counsel the infertility patient prior to initiation of the IVF cycle. It not only allows the quantification of ovarian reserve but also predict the eventual ovarian response to ovarian stimulation and the clinical pregnancy.

TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF BMV ON P WAVE DISPERSION AND SHORT TERM PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF P WAVE DISPERSION IN PREDICTION OF CLINICAL OUTCOME AFTER PERCUTANEOUS BALLOON MITRAL VALVULOPLASTY IN PATIENTS WITH MITRAL STENOSIS AND SINUS RHYTHM
Authors: Agarwal Ashish Kumar , Meena Daulat Singh , Pathak Vijay , Jain Anoop , Ola Rakesh Kumar 
Published: September 2020

Background: The aim of the present study was to study the effect of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) on P wave dispersion and to test the correlation between P-maximum and P-dispersion to right ventricular function and pulmonary artery pressure before and after PMBV. Also to study the impact of P-maximum and P-wave dispersion on the short term clinical outcome after successful PBMV in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) and sinus rhythm.
Methods: 75 patients undergoing PMBV were enrolled in this study. We evaluated P-maximum, P-minimum and P-wave dispersion before and one month and one year after PBMV . We studied the changes in pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), left atrial (LA) dimension, mitral diastolic gradient, and mitral valve area, in addition to the changes in right ventricular function utilizing tissue Doppler assessment both before and after PMBV, in addition the role of the P-wave dispersion in prediction of late cardiac events.
Results: There were significant decrease in mean diastolic gradient, PAP, and LA size and significant improvement in right ventricular tissue Doppler indices after PMBV. Accompany these hemodynamic changes after PMBV. P-maximum and P-wave dispersion were found to be decreased (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Successful PBMV was associated with a decrease in Pmax and PWD. These simple electrocardiographic indices may predict the success of the procedure immediately after PBMV. The P-maximum and P-wave dispersion changes were correlated with significant impairment of right dysfunction and the degree of pulmonary artery pressure.

Published: September 2020

Background: Patients of coronary artery disease require medical treatment to optimize their lipid profile. The present analysis evaluates the lipid profile among CAD patients receiving statin therapy. To study THE STATUS OF LIPID PROFILE CONTROL IN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE PATIENTS AT A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Methods: Our study included 1016 patients with documented CAD by coronary angiography in Department of cardiology SMS medical college and associated group of hospitals. Patients treated with statin therapy for at least 3 months were included. We compared data relating to demographic parameters and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Results: In a total of 1016 patients (730 males and 286 females), (mean age 57.2 ± 8.8 years).
Complete lipid profiles of 1016 patients were recorded. Regarding the CAD patients with complete lipid profiles, 72% had lag in lipid profile control as against the current guidelines in at least one of the three main lipid parameters: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and/or triglycerides. LDLc was not within target levels in 64.2% of these high risk patients; HDLc was abnormal in 35%, and triglycerides were elevated in 25% despite monthly follow up at the opd.
Conclusion: Most of the patients treated with statins, especially those with a high cardiovascular risk, do not meet recommended lipid targets and/or have a high frequency of abnormal HDLc and TG levels. The results of this study show that significant differences exist between the recommendations in the guidelines and clinical practice, as well as highlighting the need for a more intensive and integrated management of dyslipidemia in high-risk patients.

Design Sleep Mode and Wakeup Method for OpenFlow Switches
Authors: Vu Tran Hoang , Luc Vu Cong 
Published: September 2020

In this paper, we present a design and an evaluation of two power management modes that reduce the energy consumption of OpenFlow switches. First, we define two new low power modes: SLEEP PORT and SLEEP SWITCH, which reduce energy consumption in cases where packets on port or switches are absent. Second, we present a Wake on LAN (WOL) method for OpenFlow Switches to wake up Ethernet ports or the whole switch from inactive states. Finally, we describe our design, experimental results and performance evaluations. Our results show that the control SLEEP PORT mode on a switch might save about 9.8% power consumption per port, and up to about 60% of total power consumption of the switch with SLEEP SWITCH mode. In addition, we will implement this method to Openflow Switch bases on NetFPGA- 10 Gigabit in the future.
Robust Direction of Arrival Estimation Using Uniform Circular Antenna Array based on Total Forward - Backward Matrix Pencil Method
Authors: Thanh Han Trong , Tuan Do Trong , Duc Nguyen Trong , Yem Vu Van 
Published: September 2020

In this paper, we propose an approach to estimate the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of Radio coherent incoming signals using the Total Forward – Backward Matrix Pencil algorithm (TFBMP). This algorithm works directly on samples of signals impinging on an M – element Uniform Circular Antenna (UCA) array, which has a smaller size as well as larger observation angle in comparison with the Uniform Linear Antenna (ULA) array. Therefore, the correlation between the received signals does not significantly impact on its performance and efficiency. Furthermore, this algorithm can also extract the DOA information with only one snapshot of signal. Simulation results for DOA estimation using the proposed approach for different situations of incoming signals as well as the number of snapshots in the presence of noise will be assessed to verify its performance.

Published: September 2020

Automated user interaction testing of Web applications has been received great attentions from the research community and industry. Currently, several available tools are proposed to partly deal withthe problem. However, how to perform the automated user interaction testing of whole Web applications effectively is still an open problem. This research proposes a method and develops a tool supporting automated user interaction testing of whole Web applications. In this method, the model of each Web page of the Web application under testing which describes the user interaction (UI) is represented by a finite state automaton. The whole model that describes the behaviors of the whole Web application then is constructed by composing the models of all Web pages. After that, test paths are generated automatically based on the compositional model of the Web application so that these test paths cover all possible user interactions of the application. A tool supporting the proposed method has been developed and applied to test on some simple Web applications. The experimental results show the potential application of this tool for automated user interaction testing of Webapplications in practice

Common Respiratory Diseases of Poultry in Bangladesh: A Review
Authors: Ali MZ 
Published: September 2020

Now-a-days, the poultry production in Bangladesh has become a sustainable and profitable industry. The poultry sectors are contributing to meet the national demand of proteins as well as implementing food security along with employment generation. The poultry industries are frequently affected by respiratory diseases. There are five viral respiratory diseases associated with respiratory systems such as Avian influenza (AI), Newcastle disease (ND), Infectious bronchitis (IB), Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), and Avian metapneumovirus (AE). Among them, AI outbreaks have been occurring regularly with changing genetic characters since 2007 and atotal of 556 AI outbreaks have been reported yet in Bangladesh that placed in most AI reporter countries. Bacterial diseases like Mycoplasmosis, Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale, Fowl cholera, and Infectious coryza are mostly prevalent respiratory diseases in Bangladesh. Mycoplasmosis is become a major threat for poultry industry especially Sonali (a cross-bred) type chickens due to poor biosecurity and breeding management. With respect to fungal diseases, Aspergillosis or brooder pneumonia is a highly prevalent respiratory disease in Bangladesh with causing pneumonia in young chickens. However, respiratory diseases are prevalent in higher rates and cause outbreaks frequently.
