ObjectiveTo demonstrate the effect of daily exercise on the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).MethodsA cohort of 9,636 patients with ACS were consecutively enrolled in our retrospective study between November 2015 and September 2017, which were used for model development. 6,745 patients were assigned as the derivation cohort and 2,891 patients were assigned as the validation cohort. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and COX regression were used to screen out significant variables for the construction of the nomogram. Multivariable COX regression analysis was employed for the development of a model represented by a nomogram. The nomogram was then evaluated for performance traits such as discrimination, calibration, and clinical efficacy.ResultsAmong 9,636 patients with ACS (mean [SD] age, 60.3 [10.4] years; 7,235 men [75.1%]), the 5-year incidence for MACE was 0.19 at a median follow-up of 1,747 (1,160–1,825) days. Derived from the LASSO regression and COX regression, the nomogram has included 15 factors in total including age, previous myocardial infarction (MI), previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), systolic pressure, N-terminal Pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), serum creatinine, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), Killip class, the Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score, left anterior descending (LAD) stenosis (≥50%), circumflex (LCX) stenosis (≥50%), right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis (≥50%), exercise intensity, cumulative time. The 5-year area under the ROC curve (AUC) of derivation and validation cohorts were 0.659 (0.643–0.676) and 0.653 (0.629–0.677), respectively. The calibration plots showed the strong concordance performance of the nomogram model in both two cohorts. Moreover, decision curve analysis (DCA) also showed the usefulness of nomogram in clinical practice.ConclusionThe present work provided a prediction nomogram predicting MACE for patients with ACS after incorporating the already known factors and the daily exercise, which demonstrated the effectiveness of daily exercise on the improvement of prognosis for patients with ACS.

BackgroundThe gut microbiota is known to play a critical role in shaping the host immunity, and metabolism and influences the onset and progression of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. This study assessed the gut microbiome of tuberculosis (TB) cases with diabetes mellitus (DM) or HIV comorbidities before anti-TB therapy and after the intensive phase anti-TB therapy.MethodsNinety cases comprising 60 TB-only, 23 TB-DM, 7 TB-HIV were recruited, among which 35 TB-only, 10 TB-DM, 5 TB-HIV were also sampled after 2 months of anti-TB treatment. Total gut microbiome was detected by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of DNA extracted from collected stool specimen. The taxonomic and functional diversity of the different groups were compared in addition to changes that could occur after 2 months antibiotics use.ResultsCompared to the healthy controls, the gut microbiome of all the TB cohorts was characterized by a significant decreased alpha diversity and significant compositional changes. All the three TB cohorts were enriched with inflammatory related microorganisms of the genera Escherichia-shigella, Streptococcus, Enterococcus and Erysipelatoclostridium with depletion in beneficial taxa of the genera Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium and Clostridium. In pairwise comparison with the healthy controls, the TB-only cohort were enriched with Streptococcus and Erysipelatoclostridium, the TB-DM enriched with Bacteroides, and TB-HIV enriched with Escherichia-shigella, Dialister and Erysipelatoclostridium. After the intensive phase anti-TB therapy, there was general enrichment of the genera Erysipelotrichaceae_UCG 003, Veillonella and Fusobacterium.ConclusionOur findings show a dysbiotic gut microbiome and associated upregulation of inflammation related microorganism in gut microbiome of TB individuals with or without comorbidity.
Adaptive control of a soft pneumatic actuator using experimental characterization data
Authors: Mak Yoeko Xavier , Naghibi Hamid , Lin Yuanxiang , Abayazid Momen 
Published: March 2023

Fiber reinforced soft pneumatic actuators are hard to control due to their non-linear behavior and non-uniformity introduced by the fabrication process. Model-based controllers generally have difficulty compensating non-uniform and non-linear material behaviors, whereas model-free approaches are harder to interpret and tune intuitively. In this study, we present the design, fabrication, characterization, and control of a fiber reinforced soft pneumatic module with an outer diameter size of 12 mm. Specifically, we utilized the characterization data to adaptively control the soft pneumatic actuator. From the measured characterization data, we fitted mapping functions between the actuator input pressures and the actuator space angles. These maps were used to construct the feedforward control signal and tune the feedback controller adaptively depending on the actuator bending configuration. The performance of the proposed control approach is experimentally validated by comparing the measured 2D tip orientation against the reference trajectory. The adaptive controller was able to successfully follow the prescribed trajectory with a mean absolute error of 0.68° for the magnitude of the bending angle and 3.5° for the bending phase around the axial direction. The data-driven control method introduced in this paper may offer a solution to intuitively tune and control soft pneumatic actuators, compensating for their non-uniform and non-linear behavior.

Relevance. The modern development of practical dentistry and the emergence of new techniques and methods of diagnosis and treatment determine the necessity and expediency of studying the anatomical features of the head, skull, structure of dental arches, and dental segments in general. Knowledge of the patterns and characteristics of the skull structure and their relationship with morphometric, clinical and functional parameters will allow the diagnosis of various forms of maxillofacial disorders based on comorbidity.Materials and methods. The study examined 30 children aged 6 to 12 y.o. to determine the relationship between the type of face and the state of the chewing muscles in children with cerebral palsy. Maxillofacial anthropometric measurements were made, e.g., the bitragional length (t-t) and the distance between the tragion and subnasale landmarks (t-sn); the gnathic index of the face was calculated, and the mouth opening range was measured. The surface electromyography determined the mean biopotential amplitude of the right and left proper masticatory and temporal muscles using the "bruxism" test.Results. The anthropometric measurement data indicate the prevalence of a brachygnathic facial type in children with cerebral palsy. The electromyographic study data evidence spasticity of the masticatory muscles.Conclusion. The obtained data indicate functional overload of the chewing muscles. Masticatory muscles' hypertonicity determined the brachygnathic facial type in children with cerebral palsy.

Prueba de admisión PODIUM y su relación con el desempeño académico universitario
Authors: Hilt Jorge , Del Valle López Jair Arody 
Published: March 2023

Las pruebas de acceso a la universidad constituyen un filtro para el ingreso a estudios de nivel superior, que buscan asegurar la calidad educativa y servir como un estimador del futuro desempeño académico de los estudiantes.
Este estudio, realizado en el contexto de la virtualización de la educación a causa del Covid-19, analiza la relación de los resultados de la Prueba Oficial de Ingreso a la Universidad de Montemorelos (PODIUM), con la media de los resultados académicos obtenidos por los estudiantes ingresantes en su primer semestre de estudios.
Se correlacionaron los tres componentes de la prueba PODIUM -habilidad matemática, razonamiento verbal e inglés- y sus dimensiones, con el desempeño académico de una muestra de 207 estudiantes de primer ingreso a la Universidad de Montemorelos, en el ciclo lectivo 2020-2021.
Se empleó el análisis de correlación rho de Spearman y se encontró que existe una relación débil, aunque significativa, entre la puntuación general de la prueba PODIUM y el desempeño académico. Además, se encontró una relación media cuando el análisis se realizó con las dimensiones del PODIUM con el desempeño académico de los estudiantes agrupados por carrera. Por último, los índices de correlación mejoraron cuando el análisis se realizó utilizando las subdimensiones de la prueba PODIUM. En esta primera aplicación del PODIUM se puede apreciar que un análisis correlacional con el desempeño académico, mejora cuando se consideran las características particulares de cada carrera. Se concluye que, a nivel de carreras, el PODIUM se relaciona en aproximadamente un 50% de la varianza de los resultados académicos obtenidos en el primer semestre de estudios de los estudiantes de primer ingreso.

Published: March 2023

<p>This research paper presents a new approach to power definitions in multiphase AC systems in the frequency domain from a purely geometric approach. The theoretical foundation is based on Geometric Algebra (GA) framework, which enables the representation of harmonic voltages and currents as multidimensional vectors in Euclidean space. The use of the geometric product allows to compute the geometric power multivector. The proposed method is a generalization and extension of previous works that have focused on single- phase and balanced three-phase systems. This paper introduces a complete analysis of new power terms in arbitrary multi- phase electrical systems entirely rooted on Geometric Algebra and Symmetrical Components. Several synthetic and real-world examples are presented to illustrate the novelty, effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach. The results of this study contribute to the development of a new geometric foundation for the power theory in electrical engineering. </p>
A New Response to Wray and an Attempt to Widen the Conversation
Authors: Scerri Eric 
Published: March 2023

This article begins by examining a recent claim by Brad Wray that the discovery of atomic number and isotopy constitutes a scientific revolution in the sense of the later writings of Thomas Kuhn. I argue that although Kuhn’s criteria may apply to the change from the Ptolemaic to the Copernican model of the universe, they do not apply in the above chemical or atomic case. I also examine the wider issue of Kuhn’s turning away from internal scientific issues to a consideration of lexical issues. I conclude, as others have done before me, that this may have been a wrong turn in view of the emphasis being placed on questions of sense rather than reference.
