Authors: Hashim Ashwaq T. , Saleh Zina A. 
Published: April 2019

The localization of the iris is the most significant factor in biometrics of the iris, which traditionally assumes strictly controlled environments. The proposed method includes the pupillary and limbic iris boundaries localization. A primary advantage of image arithmetic operations is that the process is straightforward and therefore fast, these characteristics are employed and combined with the morphological operators in the designing of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm takes into account the noise area which is found in various parts of the eye image such as light reflections, focus, and small visible iris. The experimental results are conducted on a collection of iris images consist of 756 images belong to Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation (CASIA V-1) and 450 images belong to Multi Media University (MMU V-1) databases. The results indicate a high level of accuracy using the proposed technique. Moreover, the comparison results with the state-of-the-art iris localization algorithms expose considerable improvement in segmentation accuracy while being computationally more efficient.

Published: April 2019

The article reports the results of the summer 2018 expedition to Cape Kamenny(of the Ob bay, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region) and the nearby non-functioning oil product supply facility (OPSF).The aim of the study was to monitor the current environmental situation and assess the level of oil pollution of environmental objects on these territories. The field and laboratory studies revealed the need to treat and remediate the oil-polluted soils, water bodies and wetlands.The field surveys of the territories showed the presence of visible oil polluted sites. The results of the laboratory tests revealed an excess of maximal permissible concentration (MPC) levels (1.3 – 6.2 MPC) for the water bodies located near the sources of oil pollution. The soil samples near the OPSF demonstrate a significant excess of oil products content (up to 1474 times). The soils sampled at Cape Kamenny are characterized by smaller content of oil products.Since the non-functioning OPSF is situated on a territory that has always been poluted by oil, it seems necessary to develop a land remediation plan to rehabilitate the site and to prevent a further pollution of the adjacent territories due to the migration of the pollutants.The oil pollution levels established for Cape Kamenny territory indicate a fairly high level of anthropogenic pressure in this area. Due to the low comparatively low soil stability in the area, it appears necessary to augment the measures for controlling the oil products leakage and spills at all the potentially hazardous objects.

Authors: Kidwai Aasim 
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in the industrialized world. Majority of the deaths in MI are attributed to the development of arrhythmias during periods of myocardial infarction. Identification of the type of arrhythmia is of therapeutic and prognostic importance.
Materials and methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted at the department of Internal Medicine, Nepalgunj Medical College teaching hospital, Nepalgunj for a period of 12 months. 61 consecutive cases of myocardial infarction were included in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results and discussion: Out of the 61 cases that were included in the study. 45 (73.8%) patients were above the age of 49. There was only 1 patient below 29 years of age. The commonest risk factor was hypertension which was present in 48 (78.7%) cases, followed by Diabetes Mellitus in 28(45.9%), smoking in 26(42.6%) and dyslipidemia in 12(19.7%) no. of subjects. Overall 41(67.2%) patients had anterior wall (anterior+anteroseptal+extensive anterior wall), 16(2.2%) had inferior wall (inferior+inferolateral) and 4(6.6%) had combined anterior and inferior wall myocardial infarction. Out of the 61 cases, arrhythmia was recorded in 55(90.2%) cases whereas in 6(9.8%) cases there was no evidence of any arrhythmia Ventricular premature complex was the commonest arrhythmia and was recorded in 48(78.7%) patients, followed by sinus tachycardia in 38(62.3%) patients. Ventricular tachycardia occurred in 11(18%) and ventricular fibrillation was recorded in 4(6.6%) cases. Complete heart block was seen in 7(11.5%) cases.
Conclusion: Most cases of myocardial infarction develop cardiac arrhythmias. Further studies on a larger scale are needed to further understand the magnitude and spectrum of this problem in the Nepalese population.

Published: April 2019

Introduction: Neonates are most vulnerable to infections due to poor immune system leading to high morbidity and mortality, which justifies early diagnosis and prompt treatment with antibiotics. Antibiotics are the most frequently used drugs in Neonatal Intensive care units.
Aim and Objective: The objective of present study was to identify the pattern of use of antimicrobial agents in neonates at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of NGMC.
Materials and Methods: A hospital-based, retrospective study (prescription audit) was conducted over a period of 5-month duration at Nepalgunj Medical College by reviewing case records of NICU. Data were collected and analyzed.
Results: A total of 150 case records were reviewed and were included in the study. Out of the 150, Neonates 86 (57.33%) were male babies and 64 (42.67%) were female babies. Maximum number (72.66%) neonates admitted to NICU were of low birth weight and most common reason for NICU admission was neonatal septicaemia. The majority of neonates (68.67%) received 2 antimicrobial agents (AMAs), 21.33% received 3 AMAs and average number of antibiotic per case was 2.44. The most commonly prescribed antimicrobial agent was Cefotaxime (58.66%), followed by Amikacin (48%), Ceftriaxone (32%). In fixed dose combination Piperacillin + Tazobactum (28%) was most commonly prescribed. All of the antimicrobial agents were prescribed by brand name.
Conclusion: Measures need to be undertaken to encourage physicians to prescribe AMAs in generic names to minimize health care cost. Present study suggests that Antibiotics policy to be framed & periodically reviewed: to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics and associated problems.

OBJECTIVESafety-net hospitals deliver care to a substantial share of vulnerable patient populations and are disproportionately impacted by hospital payment reform policies. Complex elective procedures performed at safety-net facilities are associated with worse outcomes and higher costs. The effects of hospital safety-net burden on highly specialized, emergent, and resource-intensive conditions are poorly understood. The authors examined the effects of hospital safety-net burden on outcomes and costs after emergent neurosurgical intervention for ruptured cerebral aneurysms.METHODSThe authors conducted a retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2002 to 2011. Patients ≥ 18 years old who underwent emergent surgical clipping and endovascular coiling for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were included. Safety-net burden was defined as the proportion of Medicaid and uninsured patients treated at each hospital included in the NIS database. Hospitals that performed clipping and coiling were stratified as low-burden (LBH), medium-burden (MBH), and high-burden (HBH) hospitals.RESULTSA total of 34,647 patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms underwent clipping and 23,687 underwent coiling. Compared to LBHs, HBHs were more likely to treat black, Hispanic, Medicaid, and uninsured patients (p < 0.001). HBHs were also more likely to be associated with teaching hospitals (p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed among the burden groups in the severity of subarachnoid hemorrhage. After adjusting for patient demographics and hospital characteristics, treatment at an HBH did not predict in-hospital mortality, poor outcome, length of stay, costs, or likelihood of a hospital-acquired condition.CONCLUSIONSDespite their financial burden, safety-net hospitals provide equitable care after surgical clipping and endovascular coiling for ruptured cerebral aneurysms and do not incur higher hospital costs. Safety-net hospitals may have the capacity to provide equitable surgical care for highly specialized emergent neurosurgical conditions.
