Triglyceride-Glucose Index Predicts Adverse Events in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies
Authors: Li Juying , Ren Ling , Chang Cheng , Luo Lin 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a recently proposed indicator for insulin resistance, has been related with cardiovascular risks. We aimed to summarize the association between TyG index and incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Cohort studies demonstrating the association between TyG index and incidence of MACEs in ACS patients with multivariate adjusted analyses were identified by search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. A random-effekt model incorporating the heterogeneity was applied to pool the results. Eight cohort studies with 19 611 participants were included. Results showed that compared to those with the lowest category of TyG index, ACS patients with the highest category of TyG index were independently associated with higher risk of MACEs [risk ratio (RR): 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.47–2.56, I2=85%, p <0.001). Subgroup analyses showed consistent results in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction or non-ST segment elevated ACS, in patients with or without diabetes, and in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention. Results were consistent in studies with TyG index analyzed as continuous variable (RR for per standard deviation increment of TyG index: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.38–1.83, I2=24%, p <0.001). In conclusion, higher TyG index may be independently associated with higher incidence of MACEs in patients with ACS.

Authors: Mokashi Pratima R. , Bhandary Srikala 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Objective The aim of this narrative review is to highlight the association of ineffective feeding practices with the development of malocclusion in children and the role of a pediatric dentist in identifying the cues and signs of improper feeds, and encourage effective breastfeeding practices.
Introduction There has been an ongoing debate on the role of effective breastfeeding in the prevention of malocclusion. Although no specific claim supports the positive impact of the same, a detailed reviewing of the literature helps to identify the method of feeding to be chosen considering health benefits and personal preference.
Materials and Methods A broad search of all resources linked to the topic was performed in PubMed, Medline, World Health Organization web site, government web sites, and Google Scholar search engine. Keywords used in the search included breastfeeding, ineffective breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pacifier, and malocclusion. A total of 60 articles published in the period from 2000 to 2019 were segregated. Selected articles comprised original research, meta-analysis, and systematic reviews.
Results Parameters such as duration, posture, and non-nutritive sucking habits had an impact on effective breastfeeding.
Discussion Effective breastfeeding and maintaining appropriate posture and duration helps to positively impact the normal growth and development of the jaws, muscular functioning, and speech. Thereby, the risk of developing malocclusion in primary dentition can be prevented.
Conclusion An understanding of the role of breastfeeding and malocclusion will help in the early intervention and prevention of malocclusion and deviated muscular function. Highlighting the role of counseling and effective feeding practices is also an area that should be focused upon by budding clinicians.

Published: July 2021

AbstractThe American College of Radiology has released the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) scheme which categorizes focal liver lesions (FLLs) in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) according to the degree of risk of nodules to be HCC. It subgroups FLL in LR-1 (definitely benign), LR-2 (probably benign), LR-3 (intermediate probability of malignancy), LR-4 (probably HCC), LR-5 (definitely HCC), and LR-M (probable malignancy not specific for HCC). Computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (CT/MRI) and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) LI-RADS diagnostic algorithm have the goal to standardize the acquisition, interpretation, reporting, and data collection for imaging examinations in patients at risk for HCC. Nevertheless, there remain controversial issues that should be dealt with. The aim of this review is to discuss the pros and cons of the interpretation and reporting part of CT/MRI and CEUS LI-RADS diagnostic algorithm to permit future refinements of the scheme and optimize patient and nodule management.

Significance
Understanding the neural bases of consciousness is of basic scientific and clinical importance. Human neuroimaging has established that a network of interconnected brain regions known as the default mode network disintegrates in anesthesia and after brain damage that causes disorders of consciousness. However, the neurochemical underpinnings of this network change remain largely unknown. Motivated by preclinical animal work and clinical observations, we found that across pharmacological (sedation) and pathological (disorders of consciousness) consciousness perturbation, the dopaminergic source nucleus, the ventral tegmental area, disconnects from the main nodes of the default mode network. As the severity of this dopaminergic disconnection was associated with default mode network disintegration, we propose that dopaminergic modulation may be a central mechanism for consciousness maintenance.

Abstract
This review attempts to chart a research program that focuses on tonal bilingualism. More than 70% of the world
languages use pitch contours to disambiguate word meanings, however, limited empirical and theoretical effort was made to
understand the processing mechanisms of lexical tones in the bilingual context. This article will start with the main
characteristics of tonal languages, with a focus on Mandarin Chinese, followed by empirical findings on lexical tones in both
monolingual and bilingual populations. Finally, this article will propose a few important theoretical issues relevant to tonal
bilingualism and implications of learning a tonal language as a second/foreign language.
The development of interlanguage pragmatic markers in alignment with role relationships
Authors: Xiao Hao-Zhang , Dai Chen-Yu , Dong Li-Zheng 
Published: July 2021

AbstractStudies on the development of interlanguage pragmatic markers (PMs) have attracted increasing interest recently. However, little research is available on the PM dynamic development in alignment with English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classroom contexts. Given the lacuna, this article, based on the Complexity and the Alignment theories, investigates how PMs develop and how aligning with film-situated un/equal role relationships influences development. The study with eight data collection points tracks 28 EFL learners’ PM production over around 1.5 year. Results revealed: (1) the employed PM functions fluctuated but developed from singular to multiple, with the interpersonal function use being regressive and the structural and the cognitive, progressive; (2) the PM development manifested a significant gain in aligning with the equal role relationships; and (3) different proficiency learners had dissimilar PM development. These findings corroborate the view of context-dependent dynamic development and provide strong evidence for aligning EFL learning with various role relationships.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Almost half of all countries in the world are effectively free of human deaths from dog-mediated rabies. But the disease still affects people in low- and middle-income countries, especially the rural poor, and children. Successful regional elimination of human rabies is attributable to advances in significant and sustained investment in dog vaccination, post-exposure vaccination and surveillance, illustrated by productive efforts to reduce human rabies in Latin America over the last 35 years. Nonetheless, countries still facing endemic rabies face significant barriers to elimination. Using the 2017 Global Strategic Plan to end human rabies deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030 as a reference point and an organizing framework, we assess progress toward global rabies elimination by examining the characteristics of successful regional control efforts and barriers to elimination. Although substantive barriers exist for countries where rabies remains endemic, advances in knowledge, technology, institutions, and economics provide a basis for optimism.

Abstract
This communication explains the impact of thermally radiative flow of a Casson fluid over a cylinder with velocity slip, suction/injection, and Newtonian heating condition. The governing PDE expressions are remodeled into an ODE expressing by applying suitable variables. The homotopy analysis (HAM) technique was implemented for solving our models. The impact of velocity field, temperature distribution, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number in terms of diverse physical parameters like Casson parameter, suction/injection parameter, Newtonian heating parameter, radiation parameters, heat generation/absorption, Hartmann number and velocity slip parameter. The Hartmann number leads to slow down the fluid velocity, skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number. The slip parameter decreases the fluid velocity and enhance the fluid heat transfer gradient.

Role of recursive cubic spline interpolation method and convolution filter in image processing
Authors: Gajalakshmi N , Karunanithi S 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
During this article, we suggested a RCSIM through Convolution filter. This filter explores the images to enhance and improve the efficiency of both gray scale and color images. Initially we identified the noises in the images and simultaneously, the corresponding pixels are noticed to improve that particular part of that image using edge detection algorithm. The pixel values of the image is converted as the window size of the matrix. This matrix should be a (n

X n) square matrix and then we applied the convolution filtering techniques to the (« X n) matrix. The development of the (input) image through the convolution filter yields the feature map. The feature map accentuates the uniqueness of the original image. At the same time, the RCSIMis used to interrupt the mathematical data to the feature map. The proposed approach reduces the sound and protects the efficiency of the unique image.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
The emerging field of the internet of things (IoT) requires a low-power-low-range solution in remote and inaccessible places where connectivity in any form is not possible. There are many IoT devices like Zigbee, LoRa WAN, Sigfox, which operate within 5m to 5kms, with a change in bandwidth and power consumption. The difficulties in installing these types of IoT devices are critical because of connectivity issues and external hindrances like a non-clear line of sight (NC-LOS), frequency, bandwidth, time on Air (ToA), and power availability. The long-range (LoRa) is a portable, low-power wireless communication device that works on the principle of chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulation. Its performance concerning frequency, power consumption, ToA, clear line of sight (CLOS), and NC-LOS depends on the type of antenna used for unknown distances. Therefore, in this paper, the 868MHz frequency is used to communicate between LoRa - end-transmitter node to LoRa-end receiver node with a fixed bandwidth of 125 kHz in the premises of Symbiosis. The constant data size, also known as the data-packet of 11-bytes, is sent wirelessly through transmitter-node receiver-node at different locations and altitudes. The contribution of this paper is to investigate the distance required to transmit the data-packet and give a choice of the antenna in CLOS & NC-LOS. A practical demonstration of different low-cost available antennas with variation in the distance with different LoRa devices like SX1276/SX1278 is proposed. It shows that the low-cost helical type antenna is more-favorable horizontally and vertically up to a certain range in CLOS and NC-LOS conditions.

Abstract
The detection of hazardous carcinogenic heavy metals in aqueous solutions is important for biological health and environmental protection. There are various techniques to ascertain these oncogenic chemicals in an aqueous solution, like a potentiometric electrochemical sensor, spectrophotometer sensor, colorimeter sensor, and chemical sensors. As compared to other available methods, the colorimeter sensor has advantages such as low-cost instrument, qualitative sample detection, and higher precision. In this paper, the colorimeter is developed in the lab to detect hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] in the aqueous solution. Moreover, the absorbance principle is used to calibrate and measure the known sample concentration using amplified optical power light-emitting diodes (OP-LED). The estimation of Cr (VI) concentration in an aqueous solution is evaluated and programmed in a low-cost Arduino UNO development board. The concentration value is displayed on the touch screen. The readings displayed on the lab developed instrument annotates that the concentration percentage of the known sample can be used to determine the unknown concentration. The concentration of the known solution is determined and compared with commercially available colorimeters concerning the lab-developed colorimeter.

A Comparative Study on the Feasibility of Graphene Based Avidin Conjugate for Potential Curcumin Detection
Authors: Dey Nibedita , Raj Deena S , Devasena T 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
In the area of interdisciplinary research, modern and creative methods of interpreting substances are still of considerable importance. Curcuma longa’ active component commonly known as diferuloylmethane is the most sorts after food preservative, medicinal spice, additive and coloring agent, which harbors a wide range of the biological spectrum. The major problem observed with this wonder drug is the low bioavailability of the drug in the gut, hence leading to further lower concentrations of the therapeutic reaching the tissues and plasma. Constituting only a minor part of its parent rhizome, curcumin is not the only compound to be offered by turmeric, but for certain ailments, the amount of curcumin required is more than others, and this higher concentration of curcumin cannot be met with a daily consumption of curcumin from the normal food diet. This very fact has led to the introduction of commercialization of supplements of curcumin as tablets and capsules. This artificial rise in curcumin levels by supplementation could have an opposite impact on the human body, as some reports have indicated. Therefore, a potential alternative, quick, economical way of sensing curcumin was proposed in the present research. The effect of protein decorated electrode in the same was studied. Before experimental implantation, the experimental feasibility of the same through docking was checked. In silico study on the possible interaction of the protein with curcumin, a protein with GO and rGO respectively using discovery studio 4 software was conducted. Experimental feasibility deals with the sensing of curcumin using electrochemical work station using avidin conjugated GO (Av-GO) and rGO (Av- rGO). The Av-GO modified electrode showed a lowest detection of 3.9nM while the Av-rGO modified electrode showed a lower detection limit of 4.9nM. These values have been the lowest using avidin that has been reported for curcumin. The concentration detected correlates to the quantity that is present in the gut physiology, hence substantiating the potential use in real time sensing of curcumin.
