Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a major public health issue that affects millions of people each year, and a common reason for hospital admission and Emergency Department (ED) visits. ED is a common yet crucial setting for antibiotic prescription. Unfortunately, antibiotic therapies that are unnecessarily prescribed continue to contribute to the global issue of bacterial resistance. Our study aims to determine the prevalence and reasons for inappropriate antibiotic use for UTI in the ED, to highlight the most commonly prescribed antibiotic, and to define the most sensitive antibiotic and most common pathogen based on urine cultures.

Methods: A retrospective cohort review conducted at King Fahad University Hospital in Al Khobar, eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Data was collected during the duration of 2017 – 2022 from electrical medical records for all patients who had a urinalysis and urine culture in the ED and were managed as outpatients. Antibiotic prescription was considered Inappropriate if: Asymptomatic patient, Negative urinalysis, Negative or contaminated urine culture or Prescribed antibiotic did not demonstrate sensitivity to the tested bacteria. R-Jamovi software (version 2.3, 2022) was used for analysis.

Results: The total sample included 2531 patients. 70.4 % (n= 1781) were females. The most common age group was adults (from 15- 63 years old. Dysuria was the most reported symptom, representing 28.3 % (n = 606). Only ~ 21% of the prescribed antibiotics were appropriate (P&lt; 0.001). The most common reason for inappropriateness was that the tested antibiotic was not sensitive to growth. Ciprofloxacin was the most commonly prescribed antibiotic, representing 34.8%. E. coli was the most common pathogen causing UTI, representing 37.5%. Gentamicin was the most sensitive antibiotic among the urine culture results, representing 90% (P

Published: May 2024

Objectives:
To compare the change in cardiovascular risk factors who are taking apremilast and methotrexate.

Materials and Methods:
This hospital-based prospective cohort study included 40 newly diagnosed cases of psoriasis who were divided into two groups – group A (receiving methotrexate) and group B (receiving apremilast) and were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks. The outcome was assessed on the basis of psoriasis area and severity index score and the biochemical parameters.

Results:
A total of 50 patients diagnosed with chronic plaque psoriasis were enrolled in the study, out of which 40 completed the study. At the end of 12 weeks, patients treated with apremilast showed a 49.39% reduction in mean PASI score, while those on methotrexate showed a 46.19% reduction. Significant elevation of alanine transaminase was seen only in the methotrexate group with P < 0.05. No significant change was observed in blood glucose levels in both groups. hs-CRP levels in the methotrexate group showed a significant decrease as compared to apremilast (P < 0.05).

Limitations:
Absence of blinding, psoriasis patients not stratified according to severity, and a small sample size were the major limitations.

Conclusion:
On comparing the two drugs, methotrexate is considered to have more cardioprotective action.

This present research aims to formulate and evaluate mouth dissolving films using Memantine as model drug to improve bioavailability and facilitate rapid onset of action to relieve vomiting and nausea. The thicknesses of the films were in the range of 0.234 mm to 0.271mm. The weights of the films were found to be in the range of ±10%. The folding endurance of the films was found to be in the range of 38± 1 to 57 ± 2. The surface pHs of all the films were neutral, as there was no color change in the litmus paper. All the films were found to be 98 to 102. The disintegration time of the prepared films ranged from 21sec to 32sec. Acceptable mechanical properties were obtained in batch F-9, and the in vitro disintegration time was below 27 sec. It has been determined that formulations F-9 were found to be satisfactory batches and were optimized for the desirable properties.

Abstract. Bricks is still one of the walls building materials that are widely used in North Sulawesi, specifically in Manado City, Bitung City and Tomon City. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of local bricks in Manado City, Bitung City and Tomohon City. The characteristics of the bricks in question are the dimensions and compressive strength of the bricks. This research was conducted by taking samples of pejal bricks from several brick production sites in Manado City, Bitung City and Tomohon City. The bricks taken to be used as samples are pressed bricks. Brick samples that have been taken from these three cities, are then tested in the laboratory. From the test results in the laboratory, it is known that for the dimensions of the brick samples taken in Manado City and Bitung City, it has not met the brick size standards based on SNI 03-0349-1989, namely the brick length of 390 mm (+3&-5), width 190 mm (+2) with a thickness of 100 mm. The bricks taken from Tomohon City for length mostly meet the existing standards with width and thickness that have not met but are close to the standard. The results of the compressive strength test for brick samples are only brick samples in Malalayang sub-district that meet the standards, including quality IV-III of 30.67 kg / cm2. None of the brick samples taken from Bitung City and Tomohon City met the compressive strength standards. Keywords: Brick, Building Material, SNI 03-0349-1989

Abstract. This research uses boxplot, Anova and posthoc to analyse the effect of factors such as urine and phosphorous in rice paddy yield. Then an artificial neural network (ANN) is used to predict paddy yields based on those factors. ANN is also used to predict paddy yields from polybags based on the actual data of paddy yields from rice field. A total of 25 data were used in this study where 70% data were used for training while 15% data each for testing and validation. We use the training model using data from rice field to predict paddy yield in polybags. STATISTICA software was used to run the neural networks. The predictive power of constructed neural networks was measured using accuracy measurement Mean Squared Error. The result shows that prediction can be made through neural network since the performance is very encouraging. Keywords: neural networks, paddy yield, prediction, statistical analysis.

Development of a Conservative Hamiltonian Dynamic System for the Early Detection of Leaks in Pressurized Pipelines
Authors: Ladino-Moreno Edgar Orlando , García-Ubaque César Augusto , Zamudio-Huertas Eduardo 
Published: May 2024

In this study, we propose an innovative approach for real-time leakage detection in pipelines by integrating conservative Hamiltonian equations and experimental Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The proposed method combines a hybrid model that utilizes sensors and IoT devices to acquire real-time data and solves the coupled system of Hamiltonian equations using the ODE45 numerical integration method. Spectral frequency analysis is an essential part of this method, as it reveals specific patterns in the pressure and flow signals. The findings highlighted 95% accuracy in leak detection, which was validated through a comparison of the theoretical and experimental data. The novelty of this approach lies in its ability to maintain constant total system energy, thereby enabling continuous monitoring for early leak detection. As an improvement, the proper handling of sensor signals is emphasized, underscoring its contribution to the efficient management of water resources in potable water distribution systems.
