Abstract
Background: Internet addiction has proved to have detrimental effects on the mental health wellbeing of people. During COVID19, these effects are amplified significantly; therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of internet addiction (IA) on the presence of depression among the Pakistani population amidst COVID 19. MethodsA cross-sectional design was employed using an anonymous web-based survey link. This link was disseminated via different social media platforms. The "Young's Internet Addiction Test" (IAT) and "Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21" (DASS-21) screening tools were used to measure Internet addiction (IA) and level of depression respectively. Adjusted odds ratios along with 95% confidence interval were reported using multinomial logistic regression for the association of IA and other predictors associated with depression. Results A total of 1145 individuals has completed this survey. Overall, the prevalence of severe and extremely severe depression was found to be 9.7% and 16.4% amidst the Pakistani population during the Covid-19 outbreak. The odds of extreme depression were 15 times more among (AIU) addicted internet users (95% CI: 8.26-28.8) and 7 times more among (PIU) problematic internet users (95% CI: 4.57-12.05) as compared to (NIU) normal internet users. ConclusionIn the aftermath of COVID 19, depression was found to be significantly related to internet addiction. This study determined that addicted and problematic internet users are more prone to suffer from depression.

Abstract
Organizing nodes into clusters and forwarding data to the Base Station (BS) in clustering routing protocols have been widely utilized to improve the energy efficiency, scalability and stability of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Making decisions on how many clusters are formed, which nodes are selected as Cluster Heads (CHs) and who become the relay nodes significantly impact the network performance. Therefore, a Distributed clustering routing protocol combined Affinity Propagation (AP) with Fuzzy Logic called DAPFL is proposed in this paper, which considers not only energy efficiency but also energy balance to extend the network lifetime. In DAPFL, AP is firstly used to determine the number of clusters and select the best CHs simultaneously based on residual energy, distance between nodes. Then the optimal next-hop CHs are chosen by using fuzzy logic system with residual energy, data length and distance to BS as descriptors. Simulations in different scenarios are carried out to verify the effectiveness of DAPFL, and the results show that DAPFL exhibits the promising performance in terms of network energy consumption, standard deviation of residual energy, network throughput and lifetime, compared with the up-to-date distributed clustering routing protocols EEFUC, EEFRP, LEACH-AP and APSA.

Abstract
Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the common digestive disease with a potentially high risk of mortality. Traditional Chinese medicinal formula chaiqin chengqi decoction (CQCQD) has been used for the management of AP in West China Hospital for decades. CQCQD for AP (CAP) trial tests whether the administration of CQCQD will improve the efficacy of the present comprehensive treatments for predicted moderately severe and severe AP.Methods: This is a single-centre, randomised, controlled, double-blind, two-arm pragmatic clinical trial. Eligible patients with a clinical diagnosis of AP will be randomly allocated on a 1:1 basis to CQCQD or placebo control administration based on conventional standard therapy for AP. The administration of CQCQD and placebo are guided by Acute Gastrointestinal Injury (AGI) grade-based algorithm. The primary outcome measure will be the duration of respiratory failure within 28 days after onset. Secondary outcome measures include occurrence of new-onset organ failure and new-onset persistent organ failure, receipt of new organ support therapy, duration of gastrointestinal decompression, requirement of prokinetic agents, duration of fasting, incidence of local complications, requirement for drainage or necrosectomy, hospital length of stay, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, cumulative levels of C-reaction protein (CRP) on day 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 28 after admission, in-hospital cost, all-cause mortality, five-level EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire and so on. Follow-up will be scheduled on 6, 12, and 26 weeks after enrolment.Discussion: The results of this study may provide high-quality evidence of the efficacy of CQCQD in the management of AP.

Abstract
Advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the mandibular gingiva in elderly patients is difficult to cure. The treatment policy for elderly patients with advanced SCC of the mandibular gingiva has not been clear. We report a case of right mandibular gingival carcinoma that was successfully treated by palliative chemoradiotherapy. An 83-year-old female complained of pain and an ulcer in her right mandibular gingiva. Oral examination revealed a lesion of about 20 mm in size in the right mandibular gingiva. A diagnosis of SCC in the right mandibular gingiva was made by histology. Imaging findings revealed some right neck lymph node metastases. Based on these findings, a clinical diagnosis before treatment was SCC in the right mandibular gingiva (cT4N2bM0, stage IV). She refused to receive definitive surgery or chemoradiotherapy due to concerns about the invasiveness of these definitive therapies and requested palliative chemoradiotherapy. We delivered S-1 (a combination of tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil) and radiation therapy (RT) to the primary tumor alone with 30 Gy in 10 fractions using 4 megavoltage equipment via a multiple leaf collimator by three-dimensional RT. Although we could not complete the delivery S-1 because of an acute side effect, the palliative chemoradiotherapy resulted in a complete response and the lymph node metastases also disappeared. The patient remains in complete remission 5 years without surgery or chemotherapy. Palliative chemoradiotherapy for elderly patients with mandibular gingival carcinoma is therefore considered to be an effective therapeutic option.

Abstract
MYB transcription factors have been demonstrated to play an important role in plant growth, development and abiotic stresses. This study isolated a rice MYB gene, OsMYB1R1 (Os04g0583900), and functionally characterized its role in tolerance to drought stress by generating transgenic rice plants with overexpressing (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) OsMYB1R1 . Expression of OsMYB1R1 was down-regulated by drought stress. The tissue-specific expression analysis indicated that OsMYB1R1 was expressed at high level in panicle, but relatively low in the other parts of rice. No difference in germination rate among OsMYB1R1- OE, RNAi and wild-type (WT) seeds under mannitol treatments. No differences in phenotypes, physiological indicators and agronomic traits among WT, OE and RNAi plants were observed under normal grown conditions. Under drought stress, the RNAi plants were more tolerant to drought stress and higher survival rate after re-watering than WT plants, whereas, the overexpressing plants have found just the opposite. The OsMYB1R1 -OE plants exhibited increased relative electrical conductivity (REC), increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and decreased proline content compared with the wild type, whereas lower REC and MDA content and higher proline content were found in the RNAi plants. These results suggest that OsMYB1R1 functions as a negative regulator in response to drought stresses, and may be used as a candidate gene for molecular breeding of drought-tolerant crop varieties.

Abstract
The term therapeutic privilege is unfamiliar in the medical field and often sparks questions and discomfort about its ethical implications. Therapeutic privilege refers to the act of withholding of information by a clinician, with the underlying notion that the disclosure of this information would inflict harm or suffering upon the patient1. This is a case of a 56-year-old woman who presented to our facility in critical condition: sepsis with acute respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Prior to her admission, her husband had been admitted at our facility and was being cared for in the intensive care unit. On the same day that our patient was extubated, her husband had died. The palliative care team was consulted to assist with disclosing this information to the patient in light of her emotional fragility, her anxiety and concerns for her ability to receive such news given her own active illnesses.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The relationship between women, technology manifestation, and likely prospects in the developing world is discussed in this manuscript. Using India as a case study, the paper goes on to discuss how ontology and epistemology views utilised in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and robotics will affect women's prospects in developing countries. Women in developing countries, notably in South Asia, are perceived as doing domestic work and are underrepresented in high-level professions. They are disproportionately underemployed and face prejudice in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to determine if the introduction of AI would exacerbate the already precarious situation of women in the developing world or if it would serve as a liberating force. While studies on the impact of AI on women have been undertaken in developed countries, there has been less research in developing countries. This manuscript attempts to fill that need.

Abstract
Background: Periostin is a secretory extracellular protein that has multiple biological roles. It has been confirmed to play a significant role in embryo implantation and development,placental formation. In our study, we aimed to explore whether the levels of serum periostin on the day of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) affected pregnancy outcomes.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study consisting of 286 frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles(FETs). According to pregnancy outcomes, the participants were devided into the pregnant group (n=110) and non-pregnant group (n=176). The concentration of serum periostin was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: In the pregnant group, the level of serum periostin was dramatically higher compared with the non-pregnant group (41.25 ± 25.77 vs. 30.94 ± 18.28 ng/mL; P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the level of serum periostin had a significant effect on the clinical pregnancy (OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.04). The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of the serum periostin level (AUC 0.61; 95% CI:0.52 ,0.68). Conclusions: In conclusion, the levels of periostin serum on the day of frozen-thawed embryo transfer affected the pregnancy outcomes for patients who underwent frozen thawed embryo transfer.

Abstract
Purpose: Using spectral domain optical coherence tomography angiography (SD-OCTA) to evaluate tomographic and microvascular parameters in the macula in quiescent unilateral anterior pediatric uveitis (APU) patients.Methods: Forty-two eyes of 21 patients diagnosed with unilateral APU and 21 eyes of 21 normal controls (NC) were included in this study. 6*6 mm macular scanning mode of SD-OCTA was used for all subjects. The central macular thickness (CMT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), vascular density (VD) of superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and the deep capillary plexus (DCP), the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and choriocapillary flow density (CFD) were analyzed and compared among affected, fellow, and NC eyes. Correlation analysis were used to evaluate the potential correlating factors with CFD.Results: DCP VD and CFD were significantly lower in quiescent affected eyes as compared to fellow and NCs eyes (DCP VD both p<0.001; CDF1.0: p=0.012 and p=0.003; CDF1.5: p=0.015 and p=0.006; CDF3.0: p=0.036 and p=0.010, respectively). SCP VD, DCP VD and CMT were significantly lower in the fellow eyes as compared to NC eyes (p=0.021; p<0.001; p=0.037, respectively); CFD was negatively correlated with FAZ and CMT in affected eyes and fellow eyes. No significant differences were detected in FAZ among the 3 groups (p > .05).Conclusions: As compared to NC eyes, both retinal and choroidal microvasculature were impaired in eyes with quiescent APU; retinal microvasculature in unaffected fellow eyes of unilateral APU was also impaired. OCTA is a useful technology for detection of subclinical microvascular changes in APU and may be useful as an additional prognostic tool.

Published: November 2021

Надёжность долгое время признавалась главным качеством для систем космического аппарата. К сожалению, в литературе имеются лишь ограниченные данные об отказах на орбите и статистическом анализе надежности спутников. Для восполнения этого пробела был проведен непараметрический анализ надежности спутников для спутников на околоземной орбите. В этой работе я расширяю статистический анализ надежности спутников и исследую надежность подсистем космических аппаратов. Поскольку набор данных подвергнут цензуре, я широко использую оценщик Каплана-Мейера для расчета функций надежности и получаю доверительные интервалы для непараметрических результатов надежности для каждой подсистемы спутика.
Reliability has long been recognized as the main quality for spacecraft systems. Unfortunately, there is only limited data in the literature on failures in orbit and statistical analysis of the reliability of satellites. To fill this gap, a nonparametric analysis of the reliability of satellites for satellites in near-Earth orbit was carried out. In this work, I expand the statistical analysis of the reliability of satellites and investigate the reliability of spacecraft subsystems. Since the data set is censored, I make extensive use of the Kaplan-Meyer estimator to calculate reliability functions and obtain confidence intervals for nonparametric reliability results for each spootik subsystem.
