Rheo-STAT project. New options of the intoxication syndrome therapy from the point of view of the evidence: accent on pneumonia
Authors: Thi Hoa Dinh , Beridze S. 
Published: July 2021

Background. Pneumonia is a widespread disease and an often cause of hospitalizations both in Vietnam and Georgia. The supportive treatment of pneumonias includes the respiratory support, the support of fluid and electrolyte balance, parenteral nutrition and some additional drugs (analgesics, corticosteroids, inotropes). Rheo-STAT study is an interventional open-label randomized controlled study of Reosorbilact (“Yuria-Pharm”) effectiveness in pneumonia treatment. The study was held in 7 countries (Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan).
Objective. To assess Reosorbilact effectiveness in the elimination of the intoxication syndrome.
Materials and methods. 628 adult patients with sepsis, peritonitis, pneumonias and burns took part in this study. The pneumonia subgroup included 150 people (62 % males, mean age – 41.3 years, 33 % had some concomitant diseases). Inclusion criteria were the following: age – 18-60 years, community-acquired pneumonia and antibiotic therapy, administered not later than after 48 hours after the disease beginning, at least IV class according to PSI/PORT index, the presence of informed consent, baseline level of SOFA points ≥2. The assessment according to the SOFA scale on the 3rd day of treatment in comparison to the baseline level was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included the change of mean result according to other scales (APACHE II, SAPS II, MODS, PSI/PORT, CURB-65) and changes of biochemical, immunological and integral markers of endogenous intoxication.
Results and discussion. Infusion therapy with the help of Reosorbilact (200-400 ml per day) led to the increase of circulating blood volume and to the decrease of total infusion volume without any risk of volume overload. Lactate – one of the Reosorbilact components – did not increase the endogenous lactate level, which testifies a high safety. Inclusion of Reosorbilact into the combined treatment in 3 days led to the body temperature decrease from 39.37 to 36.77 °С, heart rate decrease from 105.27 to 77.81 bpm, leucocytes amount – from 9.38 to 6.64×109/L. Blood oxygenation also increased at the 3rd day of treatment, and PSI/PORT index decreased from 101.47 to 49.07. Pulmonary edema or pleural effusion were not revealed in any patients.
Conclusions. 1. Pneumonia is a widespread disease, which often requires hospitalization. 2. Infusion therapy with the help of Reosorbilact increases the circulating blood volume without a risk of volume overload. 3. Inclusion of Reosorbilact into the combined treatment of pneumonia in 3 days leads to the decrease of body temperature, heart rate, leucocyte amount and to the increase of blood oxigenation.
Procedural sedation – a patient’s whim or a necessity?
Authors: Domoratskyi O.E. 
Published: July 2021

Background. Procedural sedation (PS) is a condition that allows patients to avoid discomfort when undergoing certain painful manipulations on the background of stable hemodynamics and respiration and maintaining the ability to respond adequately to verbal commands or tactile stimulation. PS is most often used in dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, endoscopy, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology.
Objective. Describe the main features of the PS.
Materials and methods. Analysis of literature data on this topic.
Results and discussion. Risk groups during PS include patients with cardiovascular decompensation, morbid obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, grade III-IV chronic renal failure, liver decompensation, as well as age over 70. The conditions for safe PS are as follows: all medical staff are trained to provide cardiorespiratory resuscitation; there is a constant quick access to resuscitation equipment; a routine pre-procedure assessment of the patient’s condition (especially the upper respiratory tract) was carried out; pre-procedure fasting was prescribed; careful monitoring of the patient’s condition is provided. The main scales for sedation assessment include Ramsay Sedation Scale, Sedation Agitation Scale, Motor Activity Assessment Scale, Vancouver Interactive and Calmness Scale, Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, Adaptation to Intensive Care Environment, Minnesota Sedation Assessment Tool. Midazolam, propofol, dexmedetomidine can be used for PS. Minimal sedation (anxiolysis) is a medical condition in which the patient responds normally to voice commands. Cognitive function and coordination in this condition may be impaired, however, cardiorespiratory function remains unchanged. Such sedation is prescribed in traumatology, maxillofacial surgery, urology, gynecology, plastic surgery. Moderate sedation is a medical suppression of consciousness in which the patient responds to voice commands accompanied by light tactile stimulation. Adequate respiration and functioning of the cardiovascular system is maintained. Diazepam/sibazone, midazolam, dexmedetomidine are prescribed for this purpose. The latter is recommended for fiber-optic intubation in a state of complete consciousness. The dangers of PS include passive aspiration and ventilation disorders, which leads to hypoxia and hypercapnia. Caution should be taken with propofol due to the possible development of respiratory depression and hemodynamics, pain in the vein during administration. Dexmedetomidine does not cause respiratory depression, however, this does not eliminate the need for monitoring.
Conclusions. 1. Adequate sedation during surgery is a logical component of the intervention if the regional methods of anesthesia are applicated. 2. Sedation outside the operating room will account for more and more of the use of anesthetics. 3. There is a need for clear regulation of PS. 4. When choosing a drug one should take into account the purpose of its administration, curability of complications, comfort and safety of the patient.

Published: July 2021

Ruminant animal production has recently come under a big threat due to the challenges of insecurity. This study was conducted to assess the effect of banditry on ruminant animal production in Katsina state. Using a two-stage sampling procedure, 60 ruminant animal farmers (keeping cattle, sheep and goats) in the state were selected for the study. In the first stage, three livestock markets from each of the state agricultural zones namely: Mai’dua, Charanchi and Sheme markets were purposively selected based on the volume of ruminant animal sold there. The use of livestock markets was because of the difficulty of accessing the famers in their homes due to the prevalent security challenges in the study area. In the second stage, 60 questionnaires were randomly distributed to ruminant animal producers identified in the markets. However, only 44 were used due to incomplete information. The information gathered was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that 66% of the respondent were within the age of 41-60 years, married (93%) and educated (57%). Similarly, majority of the respondents (64%) have large families. According to the study, the most prominent system of production used was Semi-intensive (29%) and forage was the major source of feed (70%). The study concluded that banditry has significantly reduced the ruminant production in the study area with untold negative effect on their standard of living and that government should improve security in the study area

Different parameters of a weir model have a great effect on the discharge coefficient. In this experimental study the effect of varying angle of a trapezoidal weir coupled with a below semi-circular gate is determined. The result showed that the higher the value of the higher the coefficient of discharge. The respective average discharge coefficient of the block model and the trapezoidal weir models are; 0.48031,0.48880, 0.49565, 0.49647, 0.49892 and 0.49934. As such the trapezoidal weir with has the highest value of average discharge coefficient =0.49934. Hence the most efficient. Linear and nonlinear regression analysis were used to generate mathematical equations that can be used to predict the flow rate Q for the combined weir-gate structure and the discharge coefficient of the most efficient model with respectively. The discharge coefficient for the most efficient weir model was found to be 3.81% more than that of the block model (with rectangular weir). The predicted coefficient of discharge for the most efficient model was also found to be in good agreement with the observed discharge coefficient with a percentage error in the range of 0.4%

Performance Evaluation of MRMED Algorithm by Monitoring BER
Authors: RIZWAN-UL-HASAN SYED , Tahir Muhammad 
Published: July 2021

In this research work, we have developed a communication system (transmitter / receiver) to control peak to average power (PAPR) with small bit error rate (BER) for a 4G system called multicode code division multiple access (MCCDMA). Proposed communication system works on modified Reed Muller encoded data (MRMED) string. In MRMED data is first encoded with Reed Muller (RM) code. Thereafter, encoded RM message is XORed with optimal binary string, which results lower Peak to Average Power ratio (PAPR). A well-known fact is that, bit error rate (BER) is the best performance measurement tool for a communication system. To check the integrity of our communication system, we have run the simulation for monitoring BER using MRMED sequence. Simulation work conducted, with multipath Rayleigh fading, Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) modulation and several orders of RM codes. Our results show that implementing MRMED sequences of the suggested MCCDMA communication structure, returns noticeable lower BER. For instance, in case of RM(1,4), that has error improvement proficiency of 3 (three) errors , returns BER = 8.2x10−5 adopting MSK, at SNR = 12dB. Similarly, for RM(2,3), which has error improvement efficiency of 0 error and shows distinct BER of 4.9x10−4 at 12dB (SNR).In addition to using simulation for checking BER performance of our communication system, we have also shown in our results that, as the error improvement capability of different RM codes surges, correspondingly we get a lower BER.

The traditional Harris detector are sensitive to noise and resolution because without the property of scale invariant. In this research, The Harris corner detector algorithm is improved, to work with multi resolution images, the technique has also been working with poor lighting condition by using histogram equalization technique. The work we have done addresses the issue of robustly detection of feature points, detected multiple of local features are characterized by the intensity changes in both horizontal and vertical direction which is called corner features. The goal of this work is to detect the corner of an object through the Harris corner detector with multiple scale of the same image. The scale invariant property applied to the Harris algorithm for improving the corner detection performance in different resolution of the same image with the same interest point. The detected points represented by two independent variables (x, y) in a matrix (x, y) and the dependent variable f are called intensity of interest points. Through these independent variable, we get the displacement and velocity of object by subtracting independent variable f(x,y) at current frame from the previous location f ̀((x,) ̀(y,) ̀) of another frame. For further work, multiple of moving object environment have been taken consideration for developing algorithms.
