A Geospatial Approach to Wild fire Risk Modeling using Machine Learning and Remote Sensing Data
Authors: Gupta Riya , Kim Hudson 
Published: December 2023

<p>In recent years, the likelihood of wildfire occurrence has increased in many North American communities as changes in climate have led to longer, more deadly fire seasons. Many Americans, especially those living in Western states, have reported frequent drought and wildfire conditions, leading to an increased need for a modeling program to assess wildfire risk at a low computational cost. The research objective of this paper was to develop a machine learning model capable of producing real-time wildfire risk assessments using five geospatial datasets: Land Fire Mean Return, Annual Precipitation, Sentinel-2 Imagery, Land Cover, and Moisture Deficit & Surplus. To create the model, three separate machine learning architectures were implemented (U-Net, DeepLabV3, and the Pyramid Scene Parsing Network) and then applied to the study area of San Bernardino County, CA for the year 2020. In addition, this study demonstrated a proof of concept for further inquiry into combining artificial intelligence and geospatial datasets to create useful insights. </p>

Published: December 2023

Purpose: To determine the early and late complications of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implant surgery.
Study Design: Interventional case series.
Place and Duration of Study: Ophthalmology department of MTI-Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, from May 2018 to February 2023.
Methods: All the patients between May 2018 and February 2023 who underwent AGV implant were included in the study. Data included patient's age, gender, indications for surgery, type of AGV implant used, length of follow-up period, intraocular pressure (IOP), number of topical glaucoma medications used, early and late complications, and the final outcome. Continuous variables (duration of follow-up, best corrected visual acuity, IOP, and number of topical anti-glaucoma medications) were represented in means and standard deviations. Paired t-test was applied for comparison of means between baseline and last follow-up data. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 28 eyes were included. Mean age of the patients were 28.75 ± 20.5 years. Duration of follow-up was 213.96 ± 169.33 days. There were 53.85% females. Commonest indication was congenital glaucoma 7 (25%). Majority, (n = 18, 64.3%) of the eyes had previous cataract surgeries followed by glaucoma, 13 (46.4%). The commonest early post-operative complication was hyphema (25%) and commonest late complication was hypertensive episode 32.1%. Majority of the eyes 23 (82.1%) did not require any further intervention for these complications.
Conclusion: Majority of AGV complications are self-limiting, necessitating just conservative therapy. However, serious complications might happen that could lead to blindness, therefore the surgeons should have strategies for treating or preventing them.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: To determine the accuracy of different biometric formulae for intraocular lens power (IOL) calculation in predicting a target postoperative refraction within ± 1.0 diopters in patients with long axial length undergoing phacoemulsification.
Study Design: Cross sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Ophthalmology and visual sciences, Unit 1 Dow University of Health Sciences, Dr. Ruth KM Phau Civil Hospital Karachi from February 2019 to August 2019.
Methods: The study included 45 eyes with cataract and preoperative uncorrected visual acuity ranging from 6/60-6/12, axial length of 24.5 to 27.0 mm with no other ocular problem. IOL power was calculated with SRK-T, Holladay 1 and Haigis formula installed in optical biometer AL-Scan (Nidek Co, Ltd., Gamagori, Japan) and by Barrett universal 2 formula from http://www.apacrs.org/barrett_universal2/. Patients underwent phacoemulsification by single surgeon. Follow up included refractive status using Autorefractokertometer, URK-700 (Unicos Co., Ltd., Korea) at 6th week post-operatively. Deviation of actual postoperative refraction from the predicted target preoperative refraction were calculated and values within ± 1.0 diopter were considered accurate. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.
Results: Outcome in terms of postoperative refractive error (+1D to -1D) with respect to biometric formula showed 100% accuracy using Haigis formula, 90% accuracy using SRK-T formula, 72.72% accuracy using Barrett universal II formula and 66.67% accuracy using Holladay-1 formula.
Conclusion: Haigis formula proved to be more reliable and accurate than SRK-T, Holladay 1 and Barrett universal II formulae for calculation of intraocular lens power in eyes with long axial length.

Authors: Nazemroaya Behzad , Shetabi Hamidreza , Moradi Farsani Darush , Ariya Ali 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of Propofol + Sodium thiopental (Thiofol) versus Propofol + Etomidate (Etofol) in achieving a more favorable sedation during phacoemulsification.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial.Methods: A total of 64 patients (25 females and 39 males) were assessed with an average age of 65.14 ± 13.34 years. Patients who underwent elective phacoemulsification operation under sedation and were randomly divided into the Propofol + Sodium thiopental (Thiofol) and Propofol + Etomidate (Etofol) groups. There were 32 patients in each group. Demographic information, sedation level, medical condition, anesthetic complications, hemodynamic parameters prior to, during, and following the operation, and the visual analog scale (VAS) were measured by an anesthesiologist and compared.
Results: The groups showed significant differences in the levels of Ramsay scores (P<0.001). The frequency of Ramsay scores 2 and 3 was 43.75%, 56.25%, and 0%, 100% in Etofol, and Thiofol groups, respectively. The average recovery time showed a significant increase in the Etofol group compared to the Thiofol group (P<0.001); the VAS in the Thiofol group showed a significant rise compared to the Etofol group (P <0.001).
Conclusions: Although the sedation quality while phacoemulsification cataract surgery was acceptable with both drugs and the results between groups were not significantly different considering recovery time and pain control, recovery time was less in Etofol and pain control was more effective in Thiofol.

BACKGROUND.Patients with Diabetes Mellitus 2 (DM2) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are at a high risk for severe clinical course of COVID-19. The high mortality rate due to COVID-19 and widespread distribution of DM2 and CKD all over the world make it necessary to determine the predictors of adverse outcome of novel coronavirus infection (NCI).AIM.The identification of predictors of NCI adverse outcome in patients with DM2 and CKD stage 3 due to diabetic kidney disease.Patients and Methods. The patients with NCI and CKD stage 3 were included in observational retrospective uncontrolled study during the follow-up period from 04.01. to 10.30.2020. The study endpoints were the outcome of NCI (survivors/nonsurvivors). Data were collected from electronic versions of case records. Demographic, DM2-related, CKD-related and NCI-related baseline parameters/signs were studied as independent variables.RESULTS.90 patients with DM2 and CKD stages 3 (Me GFR 43[37; 49] ml/ min/1,73m2) were included, mean age 70 [69; 78] y, females – 56 %, the mortality rate – 21 %. The independent predictors of NCI adverse outcome were detected using a single factor analysis (odds ratio). Among them are: initial prandial glycemia ≥ 10 mmol/l (ОR 11,8; 95 % CI 3,13–44,9; р <0,001), albuminemia at admission ≤ 35 g/l (ОR 5,52; 95 % CI 1,85–16,55; р = 0,012), initial proteinuria ≥ 1 g/л (ОR 6,69; 95 % CI 1,95–23,00; р = 0,002), News2 ≥ 5 at admission (ОR 14,7; 95 % CI 3,15–48,8; р <0,001), lung damage CT 3–4 at admission (ОR 31,7; 95 % CI 6,59–52,85; р = 0,04). A prognostic model was constructed to determine the risk of lethal outcome using logistic regression method. The detected risk factors were used as variables. The predictive value of the model was 93 % according to ROC-analyses data.CONCLUSION. The detected predictors of adverse outcome are the part of routine screening available in pre-hospital setting and at hospital admission. Early identification of predictors allows optimizing patient routing and selecting the best treatment strategy for each patient.

A infecção por COVID-19 acarreta diversas modificações no organismo humano, incluindo sinais e sintomas que podem variar em cada indivíduo, principalmente quando se trata de pacientes pediátricos. Os achados clínicos documentados nessa população têm formas de apresentação distintas, o que faz com que ainda se saiba pouco relacionado a essa questão. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura indexada publicada nos últimos anos a respeito das manifestações dermatológicas em pacientes pediátricos associada à infecção pela COVID-19. Para tal, foi realizada uma busca na base de dados do PubMed, com os termos “Dermatologic manifestations”, “Pediatrics” e “COVID-19”, unidos pelo operador boleano “and”. Foram encontrados 59 artigos e após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restaram 10 artigos que foram incluídos nesse trabalho. Como resultado, notou-se que a manifestação cutânea mais associada às crianças foi a lesão que se assemelha à frieira, de característica eritematosa ou violácea que pode ser acompanhada por sensação de coceira e dor nos dedos dos pés, também denominado de covid toes. Ademais, outros estudos evidenciaram rashes eritematosos em terminação de membros e tronco como sinais mais prevalentes, podendo esses, ainda estarem associados à síndrome inflamatória multissistêmica e à doença de Kawasaki. Conclui-se que as manifestações cutâneas da infecção pelo COVID-19 ainda são variadas e pouco conhecidas. É preciso haver um estudo de maior profundidade em centros médicos, hospitais e comunidades para delinear de forma concreta quais as principais manifestações, suas características e seus respectivos tratamentos.

What the article talks about are the difficulties of figuring out how reliable the workings of a complicated technological object are, especially when using a five-valued logic-based diagnostic method. The foundation for conducting dependability studies on technological objects is the utilization of prepared models that depict operational processes. The present study aims to build and provide a comprehensive description of a five-state model that characterizes the operational process of the diagnosed facility. The operational states that hold significance are the states of the object being tested, as diagnosed within the framework of 5VL-value logic. The model of the exploitation process that was constructed was further validated using simulated experiments. The outcomes of these comparative tests yield the calculated probabilities of the tested thing existing in its distinct conditions. The estimated time frames of occurrence of the recognized states in the object were determined based on the probability of occurrence of the diagnostic states, which were derived from the reliability features of the tested object.

Authors: Desintha Siti , Aditya Dimas Krisna , Fitriani Fetty 
Published: December 2023

Media pembelajaran bagi anak-anak usia dini memiliki berbagai macam jenis dan fungsi. Pada usia tersebut merupakan masa dimana anak memiliki daya tangkap yang sangat baik. Selama ini media pembelajaran untuk pengenalan bentuk dasar yang diterapkan oleh TK Al Mumin Assidiqiyah belum mengadaptasi fotografi. Mereka masih menggunakan media illustrasi untuk menggenalkan bentuk dasar kepada anak didiknya. Menurut Edgar Dale, gambar fotografi dapat mengubah tahap-tahap pembelajaran, dari lambang kata (verbal symbol) beralih kepada tahapan yang lebih kongkret yaitu lambang visual (visual symbols). Sehingga siswa dapat melihat visual lain yang realistis dan memberikan alternatif media pembelajaran lain . Selain itu apabila hendak menggunakan media fotografi maka gambar yang dihasilkan harus memenuhi unsur bentuk dan artistiknya.
Berdasarkan hal tersebut tim PKM bersama dengan pihak TK selaku masyarakat sasar dan mitra merumuskan ide untuk memberikan pelatihan kepada guru-guru tentang bagaimana menggenalkan bentuk dasar visual melalui teknik fotografi dalam membantu kegiatan belajar mengajar. Kegiatan pelatihan ini dapat mengembangkan kompetensi dan profesionalisme para guru dalam mengembangan media pembeslajaran agar lebih menarik bagi siswa
