Beta initiated advanced closed loop D B S devices in achieving movement in Parkinson`s
Authors: Sanagala Siva Skandha , Raju V Rama 
Published: June 2024

In Parkinson disease there is a normal physio- logical reduction of STN-β-band power, shorter smoothing period could have the advantage of being more sensitive to changes in β power, which could enhance motor performance. Objective: In this study, we addressed this question by evaluating effectiveness of STN-β-triggered ACL-DBS by a standard 400ms and a shorter 200ms smoothing-window during reaching movements. Findings of Parkinson`s with advanced idiopathic Parkinson’s disease showed that reducing the smoothing-window for quantifying β did lead to shortened β-burst-durations by increasing number of β-bursts &#60;200ms and more frequent switching “ON/OFF” of the stimulator but had no behavioral effects. Both ACL-DBS, COL-DBS improved motor performance to an equivalent extent compared to no DBS. Also, there were indemarkerdent effects of a decrease in β power and an increase in gam- ma power in predicting faster movement speed, while a decrease in β event-related-desynchronization (ERD) predicted quicker movement initiation. COL-DBS blocked both β and gamma (γ) more than ACL-DBS, whereas β ERD was reduced to a similar level during COL-DBS and ACL-DBS compared with no DBS, which together explained the achieved similar performance improvement in reaching movements during COL-DBS and ACL-DBS. Results suggesting STN-β-triggered ACL-DBS is effective in improving motor performance during reaching movements in people with Parkinson’s disease, and that shortening of the smoothing window does not result in any additional behavioral benefit. When developing ACL-DBS systems for Parkinson’s disease, it might not be necessary to track very fast β dynamics; combining β, gamma, and information from motor decoding might be more beneficial with additional bio- markers needed for optimal treatment of tremor. This research is not just fundamentally designed to expand knowledge of basic mechanisms and principles of health and care problems. This is generally longer-term research with broad applicability and involves strategic, applied, developmental and implementation.

Published: June 2024

Ayurveda is a life science with prime goal of promotion of health and prevention of disease. Vatarakta is one of the main articular diseases. As the name suggests, vyadhi produced by conjugation of vitiated Vata and Rakta is called Vatarakta. The vitiated rakta causes margavarodha and dushti of Vata. Vatarakta is very similar to Gout from etiology and symptomatology.In this study 66 patients fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of Vatarakta based on Sandhishoth, Sparshasahatva, Stambha and Sandhitoda were selected. Triphala Kashaya 80 ml with 5 gm of Madhu was given orally in two divided doses at morning and evening in group A and group B was given tablet Allopurinol 100 mg for 28 days and effect on the symptoms was evaluated.Symptomatic improvement was observed with statistically significant results p&#60;0.05 in group A, along with attainment of normal serum uric acid levels followed by feeling general wellbeing. From the present study it can be concluded that the Triphala Kashaya showed promising results in the management of Vatarakta.

Published: June 2024

The utilization of percussion theory with the help of (hand held massager or prominently known as hand gun) has become progressively well known as of late. In spite of the fact that their utilization is increasingly normal, both in a clinical and sports setting, there is still little data to direct the experts. This survey planned to decide the impacts of percussion therapy in as pre-and post-action or part of a treatment. Information sources utilized were Pub Med, PEDro, Scopus, Claviate, Medline, Web of Science and Google Researcher. At first, 170 records were screened, out of which 16 could be incorporated with considerate inclusion and exclusion criteria. Fifteen had a moderate gamble of predisposition and one a high gamble of inclination. In strength, balance, speed increase, endurance, it either didn't have upgrades or it even showed a decline in execution. In the recuperation related results, percussion gun were demonstrated to be practical instruments for firmness decrease.

Authors: Andino Alejandro 
Published: June 2024

Euskadi es uno de los puntos de más fácil acceso al territorio francés y a su vez al resto del continente. Esto, unido a la frontera existente entre España y el Magreb en las costas del sur peninsular, convierte a Euskadi en un punto de paso capital para llevar a cabo un proceso migratorio desde el norte de África hacia Europa. En un Estado social y democrático de derecho existen un mínimo común de derechos que se deben respetar. El derecho a la salud es uno de ellos, siendo el objeto de este trabajo determinar en qué términos legales se lleva a cabo esta protección, y cómo el mismo es interpretado y ejecutado por las distintas Administraciones en relación a los migrantes en tránsito.

Comparative Study of Steep Switching Devices for 1T Dynamic Memory
Authors: Navlakha Nupur , Raza Ansari Hasan , Register Leonard , Banerjee Sanjay 
Published: June 2024

This work focuses on understanding the operation and performance of various steep switching devices (subthreshold slope sub 60 mV/decade), namely Thin-Capacitively Coupled Thyristor (TCCT), Field Effect Diode (FED), Zero sub-threshold swing and Zero impact ionization FET (Z2-FET), and Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET) as capacitorless dynamic memory. Functionality as 1T DRAM depends on creation of potential well which must be induced in a p-i-n structure, achieved through precise doping of p-region (TCCT), asymmetric gate alignment (Z2FET, TFET) and use of two independent gates (FED and twin gate TFET). While TCCT, FED and Z2FET operate in forward bias, TFET operates in reverse bias. The work shows a comparative analysis of these devices in terms of retention time, sense margin, current ratio, power and speed which are crucial metrics for future DRAMs and also provides a guideline for application specific design.
Tinjauan Yuridis Tindak Pidana Menjanjikan Atau Memberikan Uang (Money Politic) Dalam Pemilihan Umum (Studi Kasus Putusan 184/Pid.Sus/2019/Pt. Mks)
Authors: Wahyudi Endik 
Published: June 2024

Pemilu di Indonesia harus dilaksanakan secara tertib dan bersih sesuai yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 7 tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum, yang melarang praktik politik uang atau “money politic”, meskipun hal ini sering terjadi karena banyaknya peserta pencalonan. Penelitian ini kemudian membahas bagaimana pengaturan tindak pidana menjanjikan atau memberikan uang dalam Undang-Undang No. 7 tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum, dan bagaimana kajian pertimbangan hukum hakim melalui studi kasus Putusan No. 184/PID.SUS/2019/PT. MKS. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif melalui pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan, literatur dan bahan ilmiah lain. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kelemahan dalam rumusan pasal-pasal yang mengatur tindak pidana pemilu politik uang, dan potensi timbulnya ketidakpastian hukum dalam putusan bebas terkait. Semestinya dalam perumusan sanksi dalam pasal terkait menjanjikan atau memberikan uang mencantumkan ketentuan minimum dalam pidana pokoknya, yaitu pidana penjara dan denda agar permasalahan tidak terjadi dalam praktek. Melalui kajian teori, pertimbangan hakim dalam Putusan No. 184/PID.SUS/2019/PT. MKS dirasa kurang tepat. Maka dari itu, perlu adanya perkembangan dan perbaikan dalam menegakkan hukum di kala maraknya politik uang di Indonesia. Maka dari itu, diperlukan pembaharuan regulasi Pemilu yang jelas (lex certa) dan tegas (lex stricta).

Differential trial-type effects in an Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure: Extending the DAARRE model
Authors: de Almeida Rodrigo , Barnes-Holmes Dermot , Leslie Julian C. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

The differential arbitrarily applicable relational responding effects (DAARRE) model explains two effects commonly observed with the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP): the single trial-type dominance effect (STTDE) and the dissonant-target trial-type effect (DTTTE). We sought to explore variables that modulate these effects. Forty-two participants who completed an IRAP met the practice criteria (median latency ≤ 2000ms and accuracy ≥ 80% correct) and thus proceeded to six test blocks of trials. The IRAP had four trial-types: trial-type 1: happy-face—happy-word; trial-type 2: happy-face—fear-word; trial-type 3: fear-face—happy-word; trial-type 4: fear-face—fear-word. Participants were randomly assigned to start with a consistent (respond True, False, False, True, respectively, to the four trial-types) or inconsistent (opposite responding) block. Difference (DIRAP) scores were calculated (inconsistent minus consistent latencies). A significantly larger DIRAP score was observed in trial-type 2 relative to trial-type 3 (a DTTTE), but only for participants who started with the inconsistent block. A “happiness superiority” STTDE (i.e., larger DIRAP score on trial-type 1 relative to trial-type 4) was observed, but only for participants who failed to maintain the criteria at the trial-type level (in any of the trial-types). Overall, the findings highlight the importance of distinguishing between the functional versus relational properties of the stimuli presented within an IRAP. The modulation of the DTTTE is interpreted in terms of functional coherence between the target and response option in inconsistent blocks. A novel data-analytic algorithm is presented to identify performance criteria violations at the trial-type level. The findings suggest that a greater focus is required in Relational Frame Theory on the impact of the functional properties of stimuli on relational framing.
Structure in prime gaps
Authors: KAUNDA KAJANI 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

We define a Cayley Table T from the structure (J,+) based on a subset J of Z containing prime numbers and their additive inverses, which we then use as a model of gaps between primes of the form pα − 3. Using definitions of the relationships between primes and their gaps derived from T, we prove the existence of infinitely many pairs of primes, (pn, pn+m), such that (pn+m − pn) = (pα − 3) where n, α ≥ 3 and m ≥ 1 and pn is the nth prime. Finally, we use this result to show the existence of infinitely many pairs of prime numbers with a gap of 2.

Case report: A rare case of congenital right coronary artery aneurysm with right coronary artery-to-left ventricle fistula
Authors: Wang Xinyu , Chen Xu , Sun Yuanyuan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Patient, male, 33 years old, with a history of dyspnea on exertion for more than 10 years and chest pain for one month. Physical examination: Blood pressure 151/57 mmHg, heart rate 87 beats per minute, irregular rhythm, a Grade III/VI systolic murmur heard in the precordium. Electrocardiogram showed fragmented QRS complexes in the inferior leads and clockwise rotation.
Upon admission, the initial transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) revealed left ventricular enlargement, diffuse aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary artery (RCA) with a maximum diameter of approximately 38 mm. A fistula with a diameter of about 10 mm was observed in the basal segment of the left ventricular inferior wall, connecting to the aneurysmal RCA. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) demonstrated a significant diastolic multicolored flow jet originating from the fistula, with a velocity of 2.1 m/s and a pressure gradient of 18 mmHg. The ejection fraction (EF) was measured at 65%(Fig.1). The ultrasound diagnosis suggested right coronary artery aneurysm with right coronary artery-to-left ventricle fistula (RCALVF).
UniC: a Dataset for Emotion Analysis of Videos with Multimodal and Unimodal Labels

Published: June 2024

Abstract

As one of the important features that differentiates humans from machines, emotion is complicated not only in its wide varieties but also in its expression channels, including both verbal and non-verbal language. Different modalities contribute in unique ways to the integrated expression of emotion. However, in most of the existing multimodal datasets, there is only one unified emotion label for the various modalities, ignoring the heterogeneity and complementarity of the different modalities. For instance, the text ''I love the test" may be labelled as love or joy, but if it is expressed with a low dejected tone and a mournful expression, the overall emotion might be more of sadness or even disgust. To bridge this gap, we present in this paper UniC, a novel multimodal emotion dataset featuring both integrated multimodal labels and independent unimodal labels. UniC is comprised of 965 emotion-rich video clips selected from YouTube, annotated in text, audio, (silent) video and multimodal setups with both categorical and dimensional labels. We present the dataset construction steps and an analysis of different modality perspectives based on UniC. It is found that although in most cases the modality of text shares more emotional resemblance with the multimodal setup, other modalities may have different and even opposite emotions which might contribute more to the overall emotion states. This dataset contributes a modality-specific perspective to multimodal emotion analysis, and has the potential to offer more insights for further research in human-machine interaction and emotion modelling for robots.
Circularity of non-isocyanate polyurethanes: Small-molecule recovery from
linear and network polyhydroxyurethanes via transcarbamoylation
Authors: Chen Yixuan , LaPorte Marcus , Torkelson John M. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

We report the first demonstration of small-molecule recovery from polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) harnessing transcarbamoylation dynamic chemistry. We prepared linear and network PHUs by reacting a difunctional amine with a difunctional or trifunctional 5-member cyclic carbonate, respectively, with the cyclic carbonates synthesized from CO2 fixation of the corresponding epoxies. Under a mild condition using a base catalyst and methanol (MeOH), we depolymerized linear and network PHUs, recovering carbamate small molecules by leveraging the exchange reaction between urethane groups on the PHU backbone and MeOH, which is transcarbamoylation. We conducted a screening of depolymerization conditions, with a stronger base catalyst tert-butoxide, a higher temperature of 80 °C, and the use of a binary solvent system tetrahydrofuran/MeOH leading to the highest carbamate yield of 45 mol% from linear PHU. We also explored two greener solvents, water and ethanol (EtOH), as replacements for MeOH, with water leading to virtually no depolymerization and EtOH resulting in less than 5 mol% carbamate yield from linear PHU. For network PHU, the optimal condition led to a 15 mol% carbamate yield. These relatively low small-molecule yields are attributed to the abundant hydroxyl groups on the PHU backbone competing with urethane groups for binding the base catalysts, thereby reducing catalyst efficiency. Although further improvement on our small-molecule recovery method is desired, this first study highlights the potential of transcarbamoylation, an inherent dynamic chemistry of PHU, to contribute significantly to end-of-life recycling of all PHU materials.
The association between an unhealthy lifestyle and osteomyelitis is mediated by immune cells: A Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Yang Xin , Kadier Xiriaili , Xiong Debin , Wang Sulong , Yusufu Aihemaitijiang 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
Osteomyelitis, primarily caused by Staphylococcus aureus, is influenced by risk factors like smoking and high BMI, potentially through immune alterations. Our study employs Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore these links and underlying mechanisms.
Methods
Utilizing a large genome-wide association study repository, we selected instrumental variables and conducted two-sample MR analyses to investigate relationships between smoking/BMI, lymphocyte counts, and osteomyelitis. Bidirectional, multivariable MR, and sensitivity analyses strengthened findings.
Results
Our findings revealed a positive correlation between smoking and lymphocyte counts (OR: 1.074, P = 0.002), with smoking also showing a significant association with an elevated risk of osteomyelitis (OR: 1.451, P = 0.001). Similarly, higher BMI was positively correlated with increased lymphocyte counts (OR: 1.182, P = 6×10^-5) and was found to augment the risk of osteomyelitis (OR: 1.795, 95% CI: 1.294–2.290, P = 5 × 10^-4). An incremented lymphocyte count level, in turn, was associated with a heightened risk of osteomyelitis (OR: 1.532, P = 0.002). In our mediation analysis, lymphocytes exhibited a solitary mediating effect of 7.8% for smoking and 11.8% for BMI. When both risk factors—smoking and high BMI—were concurrently present, the proportion mediated by lymphocytes rose to 9.4% for the link between smoking and osteomyelitis, and to 13.7% for the relationship between BMI and osteomyelitis.
Conclusion
Our MR study confirms smoking and high BMI as osteomyelitis risk factors, implicating lymphocytes as mediators. Elevated lymphocyte counts suggest a mechanism where pathogens may exploit and deplete these immune cells, exacerbating infection risk and severity. This suggests that changes in the immune system are important pathways through which smoking and BMI influence the development of osteomyelitis.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) has been a global human disease for decades, which has been causing death worldwide. It occurs due to an infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) at the lungs alveolar surfaces. It is an airborne bacterial infectious disease which can be transmissible from one person to another. This study was aimed at determining other bacterial pathogens among patients suspected with pulmonary tuberculosis, attending Infectious Diseases Hospital, Kano. This study was cross-sectionally designed such that some pathogenic bacteria were isolated from suspected TB patients (positive or negative), to check for any possible co-infection. 85 sputum samples were collected from the TB suspected patients and TB-LAMP was conducted to check for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The sputum samples collected were then cultured on Chocolate and MacConkey agar and incubated at 37oC for 18-24hrs and pure colonies were confirmed using Grams staining and biochemical reaction. The data obtained were presented in frequencies and percentages and were analyzed statistically. Based on age group, the highest incidence was found among the age group of ≥ 40 with 38.46%, followed by 10–19 with 27.02%, the incidence was least in age group of 20–29 and 30–39 with 17.95% both. According to gender, 23 males and 16 females were found with other bacterial pathogens, where the highest incidence was found in males (23/39 (58.97%)) and was least in females (16/39 (41.02%)), while 28 males and 18 females were found with no bacterial pathogen. Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp. and Proteus spp. were the bacterial pathogens isolated and identified from the samples collected, with Streptococcus pneumoniae being the predominant pathogen (21.2%) and Staphylococcus aureus being the least prevalent (1.2%). Patients who were positive to TB were found with the highest incidence of other bacterial pathogens (27 (69%)) than the TB negative patients (12 (31%)). Both Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial pathogens have co-infected the suspected TB patients attending the targeted hospital of study. It is recommended that, patients showing symptoms of Tuberculosis should always be checked for a possible bacterial infection, not only tubercular infections, as that may enhance the diagnosis.
