CNN based multi-output regression model to estimate infrastructural surface crack dimensions adopting a generalized patch size and FWHM-based width quantification
Authors: Debroy Sudipta , Sil Arjun 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
To cater the need for real-time crack monitoring of infrastructural facilities, a CNNRegression model is proposed to directly estimate the crack properties from patches. RGB crack images and their corresponding masks obtained from a public dataset are cropped into patches of 256 square-pixels that are classified with a pre-trained Deep Convolution Neural Network, the True Positives are segmented and crack properties extracted using two different methods. A statistical test has been performed for comparison and a database prepared with the more suitable method which is then fed into the neural network model to predict crack-length, crack-width and widthuncertainty directly. The proposed model has been tested on crack patches collected from different locations. Huber Loss has been used to ensure robustness of the proposed model selected from a set of 288 different variations of it. In spite of using a limited sized data set, quite satisfactory results have been achieved.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Introduction
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is an established method for managing acute and chronic wounds, promoting healing and reducing complications. However, the high costs associated with commercial NPWT devices limit accessibility, especially in resource-limited settings. This pilot study explores a low-cost alternative using commonly available materials and compares its effectiveness in wound management with commercial NPWT.
Methods and Materials
A prospective observational study involving 10 patients with various wound types suitable for NPWT was conducted at a Moroccan tertiary care hospital. A locally sourced NPWT alternative was implemented using wall-mounted suction, gauze, polyurethane films, and IV lines. Patients were followed for 4 weeks, and wound parameters were monitored at dressing changes. The cost of the alternative NPWT method was calculated based on local material prices.
Results
The alternative NPWT method effectively maintained controlled subatmospheric pressure on wounds, promoting granulation tissue formation and reducing edema and bacteria. Among the 10 patients enrolled, diverse wound types were observed, and wound healing parameters showed substantial improvement. Notably, wound area reduction (WAR) averaged 78.1%, wound volume reduction (WVR) averaged 85.7%, granulation tissue increased from 32.5% to 86.7%, and exudate reduced from moderate to minimal. Pain scores also decreased significantly. Adverse events were minor and manageable, with a mean cost of 12.4 USD per patient.
Discussion
This study demonstrates that the low-cost NPWT alternative achieved comparable outcomes to commercial NPWT reported in literature while utilizing easily accessible materials. It effectively reduced wound size, promoted tissue healing, managed exudate, and controlled pain. Importantly, it offered cost-effectiveness, accessibility, and adaptability to diverse clinical settings.
Conclusion
The low-cost alternative to commercial NPWT using standard materials showed promising results in wound management, offering similar outcomes to commercial NPWT at a substantially lower cost. This alternative holds potential for application in resource-limited settings where commercial NPWT is inaccessible or unaffordable. Larger randomized controlled studies with longer follow-up periods are warranted to validate these findings and compare this alternative with other wound care modalities.
Smart Integration in Agriculture: an Arduino-driven Rice Grain Dryer for Optimal Post-harvest Management
Authors: Nebrida Alan Pacites 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

In the field of agriculture, the post-harvest stage often presents a multitude of obstacles that have the potential to undermine the quality and longevity of the crop. One of the primary obstacles in rice production is the effective drying of rice grains, which is crucial for preventing problems such as mold growth, discoloration, and unintentional germination. To tackle this issue, we propose an innovative solution: a rice grain drying system driven by an Arduino microcontroller. This device effectively combines technology accuracy with agricultural needs. The system is equipped with a very precise temperature sensor to maintain a uniform drying environment, fluctuating within the range of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. The use of a nichrome heater, selected for its consistent and dependable heat production, is complemented by an air blower to ensure the even distribution of heat throughout the drying chamber. One notable characteristic of this invention is its significant drying capacity of 50 kilograms in each operation. The effectiveness of the product was verified by a rigorous testing process. A batch of glutinous rice weighing 25 kilograms, initially containing 25.5% moisture, was successfully reduced to 13.5% moisture content within a time frame of 125 minutes. In a similar vein, a batch of grains weighing 40 kilograms, which had just undergone threshing, had a moisture content of 22% initially. Remarkably, this batch achieved the desirable moisture level of 14% within a mere two-hour timeframe. This innovative technology not only provides a resolution to the difficulties faced in post-harvest processes but also signifies a fundamental change in thinking, introducing a fresh era where intelligent technology seamlessly integrates with traditional agricultural methods.

Authors: Nainani Kumari Chanchal , Upadhyay Vipul , Singh Bikramjit , Sandhu Komalpreet Kaur , Kaur Satinder , Hora Rachna , Mishra Prakash Chandra 
Published: January 2024

Introduction::
MKT-077 and its derivatives are rhodacyanine inhibitors that hold potential in the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and malaria. These allosteric drugs act by inhibiting the ATPase action of heat shock proteins of 70 kDa (HSP70). MKT-077 accumulates in the mitochondria and displays differential activity against HSP70 homologs.

Methods::
The four Plasmodium falciparum HSP70s (PfHSP70) are present in various subcellular locations to perform distinct functions. In the present study, we have used bioinformatics tools to understand the interaction of MKT-077 at the ADP and HEW (2-amino 4 bro-mopyridine) binding sites on PfHSP70s. Our molecular docking experiments predict that the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum PfHSP70 homologs are likely to bind MKT-077 with higher affinities at their ADP binding sites.

Results::
Binding analysis indicates that the nature of the identified interactions is primarily hydrophobic. We have also identified specific residues of PfHSP70s that are involved in interacting with the ligand.

Conclusion::
Information obtained in this study may form the foundation for the design and development of MKT-077-based drugs against malaria.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
Latino individuals experience disparities in the care of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) and have disproportionately high COVID-19 infection and death outcomes.

Objective
We aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among Latino families with ADRD in the United States.

Methods
This was a qualitative study of 21 informal caregivers of Latino individuals with ADRD and 23 primary care providers who serve Latino patients. We recruited participants nationwide using convenience and snowball sampling methods and conducted remote interviews in English and Spanish. We organized the transcripts for qualitative review to identify codes and themes, using a pragmatic approach, a qualitative description methodology, and thematic analysis methods.

Results
Qualitative analysis of transcripts revealed eight themes, including (1) the pandemic influenced mental and emotional health; (2) the pandemic impacted physical domains of health; (3) caregivers and care recipients lost access to engaging activities during the confinement; (4) the pandemic impacted Latino caregivers’ working situation; (5) the pandemic impacted health care and community care systems; (6) health care and community care systems took measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic; (7) Latino families experienced barriers to remote communication during the pandemic; and (8) caregiver social support was critical for reducing social isolation and its sequalae.

Conclusions
Latino families with ADRD experienced similar but also unique impacts compared to those reported in the general population. Unique impacts may result from Latino individuals’ underserved status in the United States, commonly held cultural values, and their intersectionality with ADRD-related disability. Family caregiver social support was crucial during this time of adversity. These findings suggest the need for more equitable access, culturally appropriate and trustworthy content and delivery of health care and community services, as well as stronger financial and social supports for family caregivers.

Published: January 2024

Background
Widespread misinformation in web resources can lead to serious implications for individuals seeking health advice. Despite that, information retrieval models are often focused only on the query-document relevance dimension to rank results.

Objective
We investigate a multidimensional information quality retrieval model based on deep learning to enhance the effectiveness of online health care information search results.

Methods
In this study, we simulated online health information search scenarios with a topic set of 32 different health-related inquiries and a corpus containing 1 billion web documents from the April 2019 snapshot of Common Crawl. Using state-of-the-art pretrained language models, we assessed the quality of the retrieved documents according to their usefulness, supportiveness, and credibility dimensions for a given search query on 6030 human-annotated, query-document pairs. We evaluated this approach using transfer learning and more specific domain adaptation techniques.

Results
In the transfer learning setting, the usefulness model provided the largest distinction between help- and harm-compatible documents, with a difference of +5.6%, leading to a majority of helpful documents in the top 10 retrieved. The supportiveness model achieved the best harm compatibility (+2.4%), while the combination of usefulness, supportiveness, and credibility models achieved the largest distinction between help- and harm-compatibility on helpful topics (+16.9%). In the domain adaptation setting, the linear combination of different models showed robust performance, with help-harm compatibility above +4.4% for all dimensions and going as high as +6.8%.

Conclusions
These results suggest that integrating automatic ranking models created for specific information quality dimensions can increase the effectiveness of health-related information retrieval. Thus, our approach could be used to enhance searches made by individuals seeking online health information.
