Published: December 2021

Abstract
Purpose We compared the efficacy and safety of beinaglutide, a
glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue with metformin in lowering the
bodyweight of patients who were overweight/obese and non-diabetic.
Patients and Methods Seventy-eight non-diabetic patients were randomly
selected and beinaglutide or metformin was administered for 12 weeks. The
primary endpoints were changes in body weight and the proportions of patients
who lost≥5 and≥10% of their baseline body weights.
Results A total of 64 patients completed the study; patients in the
beinaglutide group exhibited more bodyweight loss than those in the metformin
group [(9.5±0.8%; 9.1±0.9 kg) and
(5.1±0.9%; 4.5±0.8 kg), respectively,
corresponding to a difference of approximately 4.5 kg (95%
confidence interval, 2.2–6.9 kg; P<0.01)]. In the
beinaglutide group, 90.6 and 40.6% of the patients lost≥5
and≥10% of their body weight, respectively, whereas, in the
metformin group, these rates were 46.9 and 12.5%, respectively
(P<0.01 and P<0.05). Weight loss following
beinaglutide treatment mainly resulted from the loss of fat mass. Compared to
metformin, beinaglutide induced a greater decrease in the body mass index,
weight circumference, percent body fat, and body fat mass (total, trunk, limb,
android, and gynoid). Additionally, beinaglutide decreased serum insulin levels
and ameliorated insulin resistance.
Conclusions Beinaglutide is more efficient than metformin at reducing
weight and fat mass in patients who are overweight/obese and
non-diabetic. Beinaglutide may be a useful therapeutic option for
overweight/obesity control in the Chinese population.
Hybrid Repair with Reversed Sequence Supra-aortic Debranching in Ruptured Arch Aneurysm
Authors: Marumoto Akira , Yoneda Kazuhiro , Tanaka Kenji , Kitabayashi Katsukiyo 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAortic arch pathology in a high-risk patient in whom the resternotomy approach is unfeasible due to treated mediastinitis after ascending aortic replacement presents a unique challenge for hybrid arch repair (HAR) because of the need for supra-aortic debranching from unusual inflow sites other than the ascending aorta. This report describes a “reversed sequence” extra-anatomical supra-aortic debranching procedure as a salvage technique performed to enable HAR. An 83-year-old woman with a history of ascending aortic replacement for type A aortic dissection, mediastinitis complicated by sternal osteomyelitis, and a chest wall reconstructed with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap presented with chest pain because of a contained dissecting arch aneurysm rupture. The patient underwent supra-aortic debranching from the bilateral common femoral arteries and thoracic endovascular aortic repair to the ascending aorta under cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring. Completion imaging by angiography demonstrated successful exclusion of the ruptured aneurysm. The regional cerebral oxygen saturation level, monitored by NIRS, did not change markedly during surgery. The patient was neurologically intact with adequate cerebral blood flow assessed postoperatively by 123I-IMP single photon emission computed tomography. Total debranching of the supra-aortic vessels from the common femoral artery for inflow is feasible and provides adequate cerebral perfusion. This procedure may offer an alternative treatment option in patients with complex conditions involving aortic arch pathology.

Abstract
Introduction One-stop surgery (OSS) allows for same-day outpatient clinic visit, preoperative assessment, and surgical repair. This study aims to determine the efficiency, (cost-)effectiveness, and family satisfaction of one-stop inguinal hernia surgery compared with usual care.
Material and Methods Children (≥ 3 months) with inguinal hernia and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grades I–II, scheduled for OSS (intervention) or regular treatment (control) between March 1, 2017, and December 1, 2018, were eligible for inclusion. Exclusion criteria consisted of age less than 3 months and ASA grades III–IV. The primary outcome measure was treatment efficiency (i.e., total number of hospital visits and waiting time [days] between referral and surgery). Secondary outcome measures were the effectiveness in terms of complication and recurrence rate, and parent-reported satisfaction and cost-effectiveness using the Dutch Pediatric Quality of Life Healthcare Satisfaction and Institute for Medical Technology Assessment Productivity Cost Questionnaire.
Results Ninety-one (intervention: 54; control: 37) patients (56% boys) were included. Median (interquartile range) number of hospital visits was lower in the intervention group (1 vs 3; p < 0.001). All but one of the OSS patients (98%) were discharged home on the day of surgery. Postoperative complication (1.9% vs 2.7%; p = 0.787) and recurrence rates (0% vs 2.7%; p = 0.407) did not differ between the intervention and control patients. “General satisfaction,” “satisfaction with communication,” and “inclusion of family” were higher after OSS, while satisfaction about “information,” “technical skills,” and “emotional needs” were similar. Median (range) follow-up was 28 (15–36) months.
Conclusions Pediatric one-stop inguinal hernia repair seems to be an effective treatment strategy that limits the number of hospital visits and provides enhanced family satisfaction without compromising the quality of care.

Authors: Duffy Jennifer Y. , Chau Cindy , Raymond Kyle , Rugarn Olof , Wing Deborah A. 
Published: December 2021

Objective The aim of this study was to compare duration of labor induction between diabetic and nondiabetic women receiving dinoprostone vaginal insert (10 mg).
Study Design This is a secondary analysis of two large randomized controlled trials using dinoprostone vaginal inserts for labor induction. We compare time to active labor, overall delivery, and vaginal delivery between diabetic and nondiabetic women undergoing induction of labor with a 10-mg dinoprostone vaginal insert.
Results Diabetic women receiving dinoprostone vaginal insert had a longer time to onset of active labor, overall delivery, and vaginal delivery than their nondiabetic counterparts. There was no difference in abnormal labor affecting fetal heart rate pattern in diabetic women compared with nondiabetic women. The rates of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were higher in diabetic women.
Conclusion Diabetes may represent an independent factor associated with prolonged induction among women undergoing induction of labor with dinoprostone. Dinoprostone is well tolerated in both diabetic and nondiabetic women.

Published: December 2021

Objectives To assess the association between aspirin and glycemic control in diabetic, pregnant patients, and the risk for aspirin resistance in those with poor glycemic control across gestation taking low-dose aspirin (LDA) for pre-eclampsia (PEC) prevention.
Study Design We performed a secondary analysis of samples collected during the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units trial of LDA for PEC prevention. A subset of insulin-controlled diabetic patient samples on placebo or 60 mg aspirin daily were evaluated. Glycosylated hemoglobin was measured at randomization, mid-second trimester, and third trimester time points. Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) measurements were previously assessed as part of the original study. Primary outcome was the effect of LDA on glycosylated hemoglobin levels compared with placebo across gestation.
Results Levels of glycosylated hemoglobin increased across gestation in the placebo group (2,067.7 [interquartile range, IQR: 1,624.6–2,713.5 µg/mL] vs. 2,461.9 [1,767.0–3,209.9 µg/mL] vs. 3,244.3 [2,691.5–4,187.0 µg/mL]; p < 0.01) compared with no difference in levels of glycosylated hemoglobin across gestation in the LDA group (2,186.4 [IQR: 1,462.3–3,097.7 µg/mL] vs. 2,337.1 [1,327.7–5,932.6 µg/mL] vs. 2,532.9 [1,804.9–5,511.8 µg/mL]; p = 0.78). Higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin were associated with increased TXB2 levels prior to randomization (r = 0.67, p < 0.05). Incomplete TXB2 was higher in pregnancies with increasing levels of glycosylated hemoglobin compared with those with decreasing levels of glycosylated hemoglobin across gestation (69.2 vs. 18.1%, p = 0.02).
Conclusion LDA exposure may be beneficial to glycemic control in this patient population. Additionally, poor glycemic control is associated with a higher level of TXB2 in diabetic pregnant patients on LDA. Higher doses of aspirin may be required in these patients to prevent development of PEC.

Authors: Hong Joon Pio , Hur Joon , Kim Hyung Bae , Park Changsik John , Suh Hyunsuk Peter 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Background The local flaps, especially perforator and keystone flaps, are used as first-line treatment option in reconstruction of small tomoderate-sized defect of the extremity. However, the high complication rate associated with these flaps may hinder this usage.
Methods This article reviews the technical and clinical aspect of using color duplex ultrasound )CDU) in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period for propeller and keystone flaps.
Results CDU allows the surgeon to understand the anatomical aspect of the perforator such as the location, point of penetration on the deep fascia, subcutaneous pathway )axiality) and physiological aspect such as velocity and flow volume. Understanding and utilizing this information will allow accurate preoperative design, intraoperative decision making, and postoperative monitoring, leading to better outcome.
Conclusion Carefully designed local perforator flaps based on anatomy and physiology using CDU will be a powerful armamentarium for reconstruction of the lower extremity.

Published: December 2021

We demonstrate successful operation of a continuous flow liquid helium magnetic cryostat (Oxford Instruments, Microstat MO) in closed cycle operation using a modular cryocooling system (ColdEdge Technologies, Stinger). For the system operation, we have developed a custom gas handling manifold and we show that despite the lower cooling power of the cryocooler with respect to the nominal cryostat cooling power requirements, the magnetic cryostat can be operated in a stable manner. We provide the design of the gas handling manifold and a detailed analysis of the system performance in terms of cooling times, magnetic field ramping rates, and vibrations at the sample. Base temperatures can be reached within 10 h while the superconducting magnet can be energized at a ramping rate of 0.5 T/min. Vibrations are measured interferometrically and show amplitudes with a root mean square on the order of 5 nm, permitting the use of the system for sensitive magnetic microscopy experiments.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The isotropic magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) containing three different contents of carbonyl iron particles (CIPs) based on silicone rubber were prepared, and their quasi-static compression properties under various magnetic fields were characterized by a material testing machine with specialized electromagnet. The magneto-induced actuation stress at zero strain condition as well as the deformation stress during compression process of MREs were tested. According to the magnetization model and demagnetizing energy theory, a magneto-induced actuation model of isotropic MREs was proposed. Meanwhile, a magneto-hyperelastic model was established for calculating the magnetic field- and strain-dependent deformation stress of MREs via combining the Neo–Hookean model, the magnetization model, and the magnetic dipole theory. Therefore, a new constitutive model was established to describe compression properties of isotropic MREs by considering the magneto-induced actuation and the magneto-hyperelastic behaviors. Finally, the effect of CIP content and model applicability were analyzed. It is verified that the developed compression model was able to exactly predict the compression properties of isotropic MREs with various CIP contents over the magnetic field range varying from zero field to saturation field by adopting a set of unified model parameters.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) is mainly fit for mobile devices. PIFA is mostly designed for dual band frequencies as it is capable of covering wide range of wireless services. This in turn helps in making it acceptable for designing mobile devices. Sizes of ground plane as well as PIFA’s position with respect to ground plane actually effect the performance of PIFA. For example, placement of PIFA at corner of ground plane shows good radiation pattern. Major prerequisite of 5G is nothing but the capability to enhance data volume to every single user, while supporting majority of mobile users as well as new maneuvers. The best part is advanced antenna array technologies are able to meet such requirements. Although PIFA antenna has gained popularity in designing mobile handsets, because of light weight, lower cost as well as higher directivity, PIFA antenna Arrays have been proved to be strong foundation for future 5G Mobile Communication Systems as PIFA Arrays provide better gain than single PIFA antenna in same frequency band. Current work presents a comprehensive study on so far impact of PIFA as well as PIFA Array in providing infrastructure for future mobile innovations suitable for 5G communication.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
A pipe is a most commonly used product in the daily operations of industrial plants. Boiler pipes and inner ribs reduce pollution, allowing industrial plants to be both environmentally friendly and economically efficient. However, if these pipes are damaged, it will cause a huge problem for humans and ecological imbalances. Therefore, an inside inspection of a pipe is most necessary, regular duty being conducted by a surveyor of the plant. Pipe inspection includes checking for cracks, defects, leaks, corrosion and blockages in a region. However, an individual cannot do this inspection due to life-risk impact, and there is a necessity for human intelligence. This proposed robot design helps inspect a portion of the building in less time than the entire vision. In addition, the view can be recorded and easily the damaged or blocked portions of the pipe.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The Current situation of petroleum products pressurizes the world to shift towards green fuels. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) could be considered as high oxygenated, green additive. Adding DMC in biodiesel increases the quality of combustion, hence reducing emissions with improved thermal efficiency. In the present study, DMC has been blended with biodiesel along with 10% Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and then performance and emission analysis was done. Results show higher Brake Thermal efficiency with 5% DMC in the biodiesel-diesel blend as compared to biodiesel, but lower than that with diesel. Brake Specific Energy Consumption increases with the increase in DMC in the fuel blend at medium and higher loads, which limits the use of DMC in higher content (10%, 15%). Carbon Mono-oxide and Hydrocarbon emissions reduce with lower content of DMC (5%) at a higher load. There are slight increases in Carbon Di-Oxide at all loads, under the safe limit. The emission of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) decreases slightly and this decrease increases with EGR. Higher content of EGR adversely affects the performance and emission characteristics except for NOx and smoke emission. A large decrease in smoke was noted with DMC as an additive in biodiesel due to improved combustion.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
A multilayer Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) has been simulated and analysed for the investigation of an efficient Hole Injection Layer (HIL). Study includes the simulation of different devices which comprises of the different materials as HIL. Three devices have been simulated and their characteristics have been extracted to compare the electrical and optical properties of the OLEDs. It has been found that the device with HAT-CN as HIL has achieved the highest value of the current at the mentioned applied voltage and hence the current density. There is drastic enhancement in the current density of the device when an HIL is inserted in comparison to when it is not used in the OLED. Also, there is an approximate enhancement of around 20% in the device performance when HIL is changed from MoO3 to HAT-CN. The device without any HIL included has the highest electric field at the given voltage. Optical characteristics of the device includes Electroluminescence Intensity with respect to the varying wavelength and it has been observed that OLED achieved the maximum light intensity at an approximate wavelength of around 320 nm.
