Evaluation of hs-CRP and sLOX-1 Levels in Moderate-to-High Risk Acute Coronary Syndromes
Authors: Çoner Ali , Aydınalp Alp , Müderrisoğlu Haldun 
Published: April 2019

Objective:
Risk stratification and prompt treatment are essential for the management of
acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and prediction of future prognosis. Subclinical vascular inflammation
and novel biomarkers play an important role in the clinical evaluation of ACS patients.

Methods:
We enrolled patients who were admitted to emergency service with unstable angina or non-
ST segment elevated ACS (NSTE-ACS) in the study population. Coronary artery disease (CAD) complexity
was determined via evaluation of angiographical views and peripheral venous blood samples
were collected to measure highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and soluble form of Lectin-like
OxLDL receptor-1 (sLOX-1) levels.

Results:
A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the study population, mean age was 65.1±13.8 years
and male gender percentage was 52.5%. Twenty-nine of patients had NSTE-ACS and 11 patients had
unstable angina presentation. The modified Gensini scores were higher for patients with elevated hs-
CRP and sLOX-1 levels.

Conclusion:
Vascular inflammation displays the onset of ACS and it is related to more complex CAD
in these patients. An increase in sLOX-1 expression is closely related to anatomical complexity of
CAD in ACS..

Design and Development of MEMS Sensors Based Inertial Navigation Systems for Aerial Vehicles: A Case Study
Authors: Kaur Amanpreet , Mantri Archana , Kumar Vipan 
Published: April 2019

Background & Objective:
MEMS sensors are rapidly growing as a sensing technology in
all spheres of science and engineering. MEMS technology is playing an important role in avionics for
miniaturization of systems and MEMS based Inertial Navigation System (INS) is one of the example.
The situational awareness and performance of an aerial vehicle is computed with the help of an INS.
This paper describes the case study for design of MEMS based low cost rugged INS for aerial vehicles.
The 9 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) that are obtained from the sensors provide an inaccurate attitude
information of aerial vehicles due to presence of external accelerations and the gyroscopic drifts
in MEMS sensors. In order to overcome such problems and for the precise and reliable computation
of orientation information, the error characteristics of accelerometers, magnetometers and gyroscopes
have been combined into a sensor fusion algorithm with ‘Kalman Filter’ to compute the accurate orientation
information. The processing has been done on STM32F407VGT6 microcontroller board. An
accuracy of ± 0.1 degrees is achieved for Roll and Pitch and ± 1.0 degrees for Yaw have been obtained.
The experimental results have been obtained in statically (keeping the device in a static position)
and dynamically (rotating the device at different angles along roll, pitch and yaw axis) at room
temperature of 22°C.

Methods:
The design is different in a way that it has used a unique combination of trio MEMS sensors
network consisting of FXOS8700CQ Accelerometer, FXAS21000 Gyroscope, FXOS8700CQ
Magnetometer.

Results:
The attitude estimation algorithm has been implemented on the 32-bit microcontroller. The information
data is processed and displayed on 88.9 mm TFT-LCD through Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE
To assess whether the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may be lowered and glucose metabolism improved by daily administration of fish oil and/or probiotic supplements in overweight and obese pregnant women.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We randomized in a double-blind manner 439 women (mean 13.9 ± 2.1 gestational weeks [gw]) into four intervention groups: fish oil + placebo, probiotics + placebo, fish oil + probiotics, and placebo + placebo. Fish oil (1.9 g docosahexaenoic acid and 0.22 g eicosapentaenoic acid) and probiotic supplements (Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis 420, 1010 colony-forming units each) were provided for daily consumption from randomization beyond delivery. Primary outcomes were the incidence of GDM diagnosed with oral glucose tolerance test targeted at 24–28 gw and the change in fasting glucose between randomization and late pregnancy (mean 35.2 ± 0.9 gw). Insulin concentration, insulin resistance HOMA2-IR index, and pregnancy outcomes were determined, as were adverse effects related to the intervention. Analyses were by intent to treat.

RESULTS
No differences were found among the intervention groups in the maternal and neonatal pregnancy outcomes or side effects related to the intervention (P &gt; 0.05). The proportion of women with GDM (94 of 377; fish oil + placebo, 23 of 96, 24.0%; probiotics + placebo, 25 of 99, 25.3%; fish oil + probiotics, 26 of 91, 28.6%; and placebo + placebo, 20 of 91, 22.0%) and the change in glucose, insulin, or HOMA2-IR (n = 364) did not differ among the intervention groups (P &gt; 0.11 for all comparisons).

CONCLUSIONS
An intervention with fish oil and/or probiotics during pregnancy seemed to be both safe and well tolerated but conferred no benefits in lowering the risk of GDM or improving glucose metabolism in overweight and obese women.

Progress in clinical research complicated infection with diabetes mellitus
Authors: Han Jiangeng , Wang Xin , Chen Zheng , Gao Ning , Wang Chen 
Published: April 2019

AbstractPatients with diabetes are prone to concurrent infection. The mechanism of concurrent infection is related to factors such as hyperglycemia and weakened defense function. The infections of patients with diabetes include general and special infections. General infection includes infections in the respiratory system, urinary system, hepatobiliary system, and skin mucosa. Meanwhile, special infection includes invasive otitis externa, nasal mucormycosis, necrotizing fasciitis, and emphysema infection. Patients with special infections also have a higher mortality rate than those with general ones. Complicated infection with diabetes is difficult to treat and has poor prognosis. Therefore, a patient requires active treatment once infected with this infection.

Esta “monografía” sobre la región de San José de Minas o la región peruchana, como la llamó el autor en 1923, es el resultado de un interesante y minucioso trabajo etnográfico y de investigación documental realizado por José María Coba Robalino mientras cumplía su función de párroco. Coba Robalino fue un interesado en la historia ecuatoriana, probablemente autodidacta, conocedor de la producción historiográfica ecuatoriana de la época. Durante su estadía en la región de Perucho, combinó su acción religiosa con la investigación.Durante su vida religiosa se desempeñó como párroco en varios lugares, en Píllaro, de donde fue nativo, en la parroquia de San Sebastián de Quito, (1908), en Nono (1917), en la parroquia de Chimbacalle de Quito, en 1917 y en San José de Minas desde 1921 hasta 1924, y para 1929 ya consta como miembro de número de la Academia Nacional de Historia.Escribió varios textos sobre la historia temprana del Ecuador siguiendo la línea y las interpretaciones de la obra de Juan de Velasco, que para los inicios del siglo XX era la dominante.En esta línea hay varios trabajos como el Origen de los Caras, La Caída de los Shiris, Prisión y muerte de Atahualpa y su trabajo sobre Rumiñauhi. En este número se publica una segunda parte de la monografía (9. Nombres y apellidos y de la Época II, los capítulos I y II). Lo que corresponde a Nombres apellidos es una recopilación de nombres de sitios, ríos, plantas animales y apellidos, y la Epoca II, está dedicada a la descripción de los procesos de conquista española, a la organización de doctrinas y en especial a la acción de franciscanos y jesuitas en la región.Uno de los elementos relevantes de este trabajo, que es poco frecuente entre los autores de la época, es la referencia a las fuentes de información. Como en su mayor parte son fuentes orales y etnografías adjunta la lista de los informantes con su descripción básica, nombre, edad, y ocupación; y cuando son fuentes escritas cita los estudios o las fuentes documentales. Esta articulación de fuentes orales y escritas le permite hacer una pequeña etnografía de lo que llamó la región Peruchana.

OBJECTIVEThe American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) online surgical risk calculator uses inherent patient characteristics to provide predictive risk scores for adverse postoperative events. The purpose of this study was to determine if predicted perioperative risk scores correlate with actual hospital costs.METHODSA single-center retrospective review of 1005 neurosurgical patients treated between September 1, 2011, and December 31, 2014, was performed. Individual patient characteristics were entered into the NSQIP calculator. Predicted risk scores were compared with actual in-hospital costs obtained from a billing database. Correlational statistics were used to determine if patients with higher risk scores were associated with increased in-hospital costs.RESULTSThe Pearson correlation coefficient (R) was used to assess the correlation between 11 types of predicted complication risk scores and 5 types of encounter costs from 1005 health encounters involving neurosurgical procedures. Risk scores in categories such as any complication, serious complication, pneumonia, cardiac complication, surgical site infection, urinary tract infection, venous thromboembolism, renal failure, return to operating room, death, and discharge to nursing home or rehabilitation facility were obtained. Patients with higher predicted risk scores in all measures except surgical site infection were found to have a statistically significant association with increased actual in-hospital costs (p < 0.0005).CONCLUSIONSPrevious work has demonstrated that the ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator can accurately predict mortality after neurosurgery but is poorly predictive of other potential adverse events and clinical outcomes. However, this study demonstrates that predicted high-risk patients identified by the ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator have a statistically significant moderate correlation to increased actual in-hospital costs. The NSQIP calculator may not accurately predict the occurrence of surgical complications (as demonstrated previously), but future iterations of the ACS universal risk calculator may be effective in predicting actual in-hospital costs, which could be advantageous in the current value-based healthcare environment.

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVEPostoperative neurological deficits impair the overall outcome of revascularization surgery for patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) is approved for the treatment of ischemic stroke in China. This pilot study evaluated the effect of NBP on perioperative stroke and neurological deficits in patients with MMD.METHODSThe authors studied cases in which patients underwent combined revascularization surgery for MMD at their institution, with or without NBP administration. The overall study group included 164 patients (213 surgically treated hemispheres), including 49 patients who received NBP (25 mg twice daily) for 7 postoperative days. The incidence of perioperative stroke and transient neurological deficit (TND) and the severity of neurological deficits were compared between 49 propensity score–matched case pairs with or without NBP treatment. Subgroup analyses by type of onset and preoperative neurological status were also performed to determine specific characteristics of patients who might benefit from NBP administration.RESULTSIn the overall cohort, baseline characteristics differed with respect to preoperative stroke and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score between patients who received NBP and those who did not receive it. In the 49 propensity score–matched pairs, postoperative stroke was observed in 11 patients and TND occurred in 21 patients, with no significant difference in incidence between the 2 groups. However, the TND was less severe in the NBP-treated group (p = 0.01). At 1 month after surgery, the neurological outcome was more favorable (p = 0.001) and the disability-free recovery rate was higher in patients with NBP treatment (p < 0.001). The number of patients who experienced an improved neurological function, compared to preoperative function, as measured by mRS, was greater in the NBP group than in the no-NBP group (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis revealed that NBP administration was associated with decreased severity of TND (OR 0.28, p = 0.02), improved neurological function (OR 65.29, p = 0.04), and lower postoperative mRS score (OR 0.06, p < 0.001). These beneficial effects of NBP remained significant in ischemic type MMD and patients with preoperative mRS scores of 2 or greater.CONCLUSIONSPostoperative administration of NBP may alleviate perioperative neurological deficits after revascularization surgery for MMD, especially in patients with ischemic MMD and unfavorable preoperative status. The results of this study suggest that randomized controlled trials to assess the potential benefit of NBP in patients with MMD may be warranted.
