Published: August 2019

Abstract
Effective traffic management requires use of monitoring technologies to extract traffic parameters that describe the characteristics of vehicles. This article presents a vibration-based traffic monitoring system to detect traffic parameters comprehensively, including the three major desired characteristics of vehicles: position, speed, and category. Using distributed optical technology, this system can monitor traffic parameters on a large scale. Firstly, distributed optical fiber was embedded into pavement as a series of vibration sensors to collect pavement vibration information. Then, a signal processing method, based on wavelet transform and short-time energy, was applied to reconstruct vibration signals for vibration features extraction. Estimation methods of traffic parameters were proposed based on the vibration characteristics in time, space and frequency domain. To evaluate the performance of this traffic monitoring system, a prototype system was installed on a highway in Shanghai, China. This system shows good accuracy in position locating (± 14.639 cm), category classification (86.98 %), and speed estimation (± 3.046 km/h). Meanwhile, results indicate this system provides a better monitoring performance at high speed.

AbstracteNeurois moving forward with a new initiative asking authors to present their results with estimation statistics and not to rely solely onpvalues. In this editorial, I would like to introduce to you the concept of this new statistics while first discussing my evaluation of the present situation and my own experience with using statistics to interpret results, then I will propose a solution and how we will move forward in the journal. I have also included my own experience using these new statistics and provided a list of resources. This new initiative will not change what is already acceptable for statistics in the journal; it is to encourage a simple addition of using estimation statistics.

OBJECTIVES:The incidence of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) has increased fivefold over the last 10 years. Standardized NOWS care protocols have revealed many improved patient outcomes. Our objective for this study is to describe results of a clinical practice survey of NOWS management practices designed to inform future clinical studies in the diagnosis and management of NOWS.METHODS:A cross-sectional survey was administered to medical unit directors at 32 Institutional Development Award States Pediatric Clinical Trial Network and 22 Neonatal Research Network sites in the fall of 2017. Results are presented as both the number and percentage of positive responses. Ninety-five percent Wilson confidence intervals (CIs) were generated around estimates, and χ2 and Fisher’s exact tests were used to compare the association between unit type and reporting of each protocol.RESULTS:Sixty-two responses representing 54 medical centers were received. Most participating NICU and non-ICU sites reported protocols for NOWS management, including NOWS scoring (98% NICU; 86% non-ICU), pharmacologic treatment (92% NICU; 64% non-ICU), and nonpharmacologic care (79% NICU; 79% non-ICU). Standardized protocols for pharmacologic care and weaning were reported more frequently in the NICU (92% [95% CI: 80%–97%] and 94% [95% CI: 83%–98%], respectively) compared with non-ICU settings (64% [95% CI: 39%–84%] for both) (P &lt; .05 for both comparisons). Most medical centers reported morphine as first-line therapy (82%; 95% CI: 69%–90%) and level 3 and level 4 NICUs as the location of pharmacologic treatment (83%; 95% CI: 71%–91%).CONCLUSIONS:Observed variations in care between NICUs and non-ICUs revealed opportunities for targeted interventions in training and standardized care plans in non-ICU sites.
A Quality Improvement Initiative to Improve the Care of Infants Born Exposed to Opioids by Implementing the Eat, Sleep, Console Assessment Tool
Authors: Achilles Jennifer S. , Castaneda-Lovato Jennifer 
Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVES:
The incidence of infants born exposed to opioids continues to rise. Historically, newborns with neonatal abstinence syndrome have been treated with medication-weaning protocols, leading to costly and prolonged hospital stays. We aimed to reduce the proportion of newborns with neonatal abstinence syndrome who receive opioid medications for treatment of withdrawal symptoms through a quality improvement program.

METHODS:
In 2016, we formed a multidisciplinary team and used quality improvement methodology to conduct plan-do-study-act cycles. Interventions included prenatal education, family engagement, nonpharmacologic treatments, morphine as needed, and the eat, sleep, console assessment tool. Primary metrics were the proportion of newborns exposed to opioids requiring pharmacologic treatment and the cumulative dose of opioids per exposed newborn requiring pharmacologic treatment.

RESULTS:
There were 81 infants in the baseline period (January 2015–September 2016) and 100 infants in the postintervention group (October 2016–August 2018). For infants who required medication for treatment, the postintervention group had significantly lower total cumulative dose in methadone equivalents (1.3 mg vs 6.6 mg), shorter length of stay (10.9 days vs 18.7 days), and nonsignificant lower direct costs ($11 936 vs $15 039).

CONCLUSIONS:
The described intervention effectively replaced the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System and had improved outcomes in more exposed infants receiving no opioid treatment, and when medication was required, the total cumulative dose of opioids was lower. The postintervention group had shorter average length of stay and lower costs.
Somatic disorders in autism as one of the factors of behavioral and social interaction disorders
Authors: Ivanova D V , Semina I I , Ziganshin A U 
Published: August 2019

Autism is a pressing global problem in a number of medical and related scientific disciplines. For autism, a polysystemic feature is typical, and neurological changes are usually accompanied by somatic ones, most often affecting the intestine, pancreas, and often lungs, pelvic organs, kidneys, adrenal glands and other organs. It is not surprising that the mortality from somatic causes in such children exceeds the mortality of healthy children of the same age groups by 3–10 or more times (depending on the severity of autism). Many studies report a high prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in autistic people. The most common of these is chronic constipation (22% on average). The functional interaction of the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system is due to the presence of various connections and includes the autonomic nervous, immune and neuroendocrine systems. Of particular importance in gastrointestinal disorders and the pathogenesis of autism is the intestinal microbiota, a complex bacterial community located in the gastrointestinal tract. Under the influence of external and internal factors, the microbiota changes the permeability of the intestinal and blood-brain barriers, and the metabolites produced by the altered microbiota can enter the bloodstream and the central nervous system, disrupting its functioning. It was proven that there are pronounced differences between the intestinal microbiota of healthy children and autistic children, and directed individual correction often leads to normalization or significant improvement in social and communicative behavior and other deviations typical of children with autism. Thus, violations in the somatic sphere can increase the severity of the clinical presentation of autism, causing various behavioral and communication disorders. Identification of the spectrum of these disorders, as well as the study of the mechanisms of their development and interrelationship, is an urgent problem, the solution of which may be important for determining the tactics of complex therapy of patients with autism spectrum disorders.

Published: August 2019

Weeds negatively affect cowpea plants, causing reduced growth, delayed development and yield loss. The aim of this study was to assay selectivity and effectiveness of weed control herbicides in cowpea cropping field conditions. For selectivity evaluation, the herbicide S-metolachlor, was used pre-emergence (PRE), and carfentrazone-ethyl, clethodim, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, fluazifop-p-butyl and quizalofop-p-ethyl post-emergence (POST). In effectiveness evaluation, S-metolachlor (PRE), and carfentrazone-ethyl (POST), S-metolachlor in PRE and fluazifop-p-butyl (POST), clethodim, carfentrazone-ethyl and clethodim, fenoxapropp-
ethyl, carfentrazone-ethyl and fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, fluazifop-p-butyl, carfentrazone-ethyl and fluazifop-pbutyl, quizalofop-p-ethyl and carfentrazone-ethyl and quizalofop-p-ethyl (POST). Two controls were included, one with weeding at 15 and 35 days after sowing (DAS) and the other without weed control. Carfentrazone-ethyl caused mild phytotoxicity in plants seven days after application, but did not reduce yield (2337 kg ha-1). The levels of weed control and productivity obtained with S-metolachlor alone or in association with carfentrazoneethyl or fluazifop-p-butyl, associated or not with carfentrazone-ethyl, were similar to those obtained with weeds. Spraying with carfentrazone-ethyl alone resulted in low control effectiveness and reduced yield (1511 kg ha-1). Weed interference during the crop cycle reduced yield by 77% (531 kg ha-1). The selectivity and effectiveness obtained with the herbicides should be considered as an agronomic and economically-viable.
