Abstract: In 2007, in Kazakhstan, there was a transition of TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) circuit-switched technologies to IP (Internet Protocol) packet technology, which created a modern infrastructure for the ICT (information communication technologies) sphere. The advent of the IoT (Internet of Things) concept has led to the growth of a functioning network at a faster rate. It is currently developing in the direction of a cognitive infocommunication network. Its evolutionary development is characterized by a change in the volume of transmitted information, types of its presentation, methods of transmission and storage, the number of sources and consumers, distribution among users, requirements for timeliness and reliability (quality) [1]. Types of traffic and their structure are changing, therefore data processing becomes more complicated. For this reason, the tasks of analyzing and predicting network traffic remain relevant.
In this work, the prediction of the measured traffic on a real network is performed. The series under study shows the totality of packets transmitted over the backbone network for each second. Forecasting of a one-dimensional time series is carried out on the basis of fuzzy logic methods. This class of models is well suited for modeling nonlinear systems and time series forecasting. The use of fuzzy sets is based on the ability of fuzzy models to approximate functions, as well as on the readability of rules using linguistic variables. The results of the software algorithm of fuzzy inference models were obtained using the Python environment. Membership functions, predictive graphs were built and their evaluation was carried out. The numerical values of the root mean square error (MSE) are calculated. As a result, it was found that the Cheng fuzzy prediction model has higher forecast accuracy than the Chen forecasting method.
AN EFFICIENT APPROACH FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GOBANG GAME USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE METHODS

Published: May 2023

Gobang is one of the most ancient abstract strategy games for two players. The game is traditionally played on a board with black and white stones, where players take turns placing a colored stone on an empty intersection. The winner is the first player to form an unbroken chain of five stones, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Although the rules of Gobang seem pretty straightforward, the game tree complexity is enormous since the board state is more intuitive than in other games. In this paper, we will implement an algorithm that will solve the Gobang game using artificial intelligence (AI) methods. The program will begin learning from scratch, then use self-play to produce training data, and eventually steadily build up its strength.
The present work first focuses on the implementation of the supervised learning algorithm in the identification procedure in order to identify the position of the current fallen piece. This will be achieved by utilizing image processing and a convolutional neural network. Then a Gobang game procedure will be implemented using a game search algorithm, in which the state of the game is judged by means of a human-set function. After that, the function of judging the game state in the above game search algorithm will be changed to an artificial neural network (ANN) model, since it is convenient to train a model with a small dataset. Finally, the reinforcement learning algorithm will be applied to learn the artificial neural network model so that the playing level of the Gobang game program can be continuously improved.

Published: May 2023

Objective:
To assess the effect of D-pinitol on pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin.

Methods:
Sprague-Dawley rats received intratracheal bleomycin (6 IU/kg) to induce pulmonary fibrosis, followed by administration of either D-pinitol (5, 10, or 20 mg/kg) or vehicle or methylprednisolone (10 mg/kg) over 28 days after bleomycin administration. Lung function, biochemical parameters, serum biochemistry, mRNA expressions, and histological features were observed.

Results:

D-pinitol at 10 and 20 mg/kg significantly (P<0.05) attenuated bleomycin-induced bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, decreased myeloperoxidase, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde levels, and increased glutathione and superoxide dismutase level. D-pinitol also improved lung function (enhanced pause, frequency of breathing, expired volume, and tidal volume). Besides, D-pinitol significantly (P<0.05) upregulated Nrf2 and downregulated mRNA expressions of TGF-β, collagen-1, and Smad-3. Furthermore, considerably less inflammation (peribronchial, perivascular, and total), Ashcroft, and interstitial fibrosis scores were observed in the D-pinitol group.

Conclusions:

D-pinitol exerts its effect against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis via antioxidative and anti-fibrotic pathways.

Authors: Kelleci Yusuf , Aydin Fatma , Sahin* Gokhan , Yuksel Esra Pancar 
Published: May 2023

Background:
Alopecia areata (AA) is a disease of unknown etiology which is thought to be autoimmune, that presents challenges in terms of treatment. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can induce the development of new hair follicles through various growth factors it contains. PRP could be a treatment option for patients with AA.

Objectives:
We aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PRP treatment in patients with patch-type AA.

Methods:
The study included 17 patients diagnosed with patch-type AA who received PRP treatment at least 3 sessions every 4 weeks. Treatment response was evaluated by calculating the severity of alopecia tool (SALT) scores.

Results:
The mean age of patients was 29.70 ± 10.09, and the mean disease duration was 18.17 ± 39.46 months. The mean SALT score of 17 patients was 6.82 ± 4.96 and 4.35 ± 4.58 before treatment and at the end of the 3rd month, respectively. The reduction in SALT scores was statistically significant (P = 0.01). At the end of the 3rd month, six patients (35.3%) had an excellent response, one patient (5.9%) had a good response, one patient (5.9%) had a partial response, and nine patients (52.9%) showed no response. The mean SALT scores of four patients who received six sessions of PRP of treatment were 6.00 ± 2.94 and 1.75 ± 2.06 at the end of the 6th month. No serious side effects were noted. Relapse was observed in one patient within 1 year of follow-up.

Conclusion:
As a result of our study, PRP treatment was found to be an effective and reliable treatment method in patients with mild AA.

Published: May 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to compare the automated and manual choroidal thickness (CT) measures in normal eyes using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Patients and Methods:
This prospective study included 80 eyes from 40 normal volunteers. CT was measured manually and automatically in all eyes using Topcon deep-range imaging-1 SS-OCT. Automatically calculated measures, which are shown as a colored topographic map with nine subfields, defined by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) style grid, compared to manual measures at the subfoveal area, at four points 1 mm around the fovea as well as at four points 3 mm around the fovea.

Results:
The mean subfoveal CT (SFCT) was 271.77 ± 78.78 μm for the automatically measured ETDRS map and 282.81 ± 83.74 μm for the manual SFCT measurements. The difference between manual and automated measurement was the smallest in SFCT at 11.03 ± 35 μm and the greatest in the outer temporal area at 48.36 ± 49.83 μm. Manually measured CT was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in all nine areas compared to automated ETDRS map measurements.

Conclusions:
Manual measurement of CT is significantly higher than automated measurements. In addition, they cannot replace automated methods.

Authors: Shoushtari Maryam Haddad Zadeh , Safapour Neda , Savaie Mohsen , Raji Hanieh , Cheraghian Bahman 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
COVID-19 can lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome so that some patients need to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The aim of the current study is to investigate the frequency of demographic, laboratory and imaging findings and type of treatment and their relationship with disease outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

Material and Methods:
This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on all patients with COVID-19 who were admitted in the ICU of Razi Hospital in Ahvaz, Iran from January 20 to February 20, 2021. Patient information including demographic features, laboratory and imaging findings and clinical outcomes was recorded.

Results:
One hundred and thirty-three patients were recruited in the present study, out of which 74 patients (55.6%) were males and 59 patients (44.4%) were females. The overall mortality rate of patients was 35.3% (47 patients) and was higher in patients over 65 years of age. There was a significant difference in terms of thrombocytopenia (P value: 0.001), lymphopenia (P value: 0.004), progression of lung involvement in imaging, shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), sepsis and receiving invasive respiratory support in living and deceased patients (P value < 0.001). Furthermore, the difference in life status and the length of in-ICU stay in patients with hyperkalemia and renal failure was statistically significant (P value = 0.033, P value < 0.001 respectively).

Conclusion:
Mortality rate of patients with COVID- 19 admitted to ICU is generally high. According to the findings of this study, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, hyperkalemia and AKI are laboratory disorders associated with increased mortality. Moreover, the progression of pulmonary involvement in imaging, shock, DIC, sepsis, and need to invasive respiratory support is associated with low survival of patients.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD) is safe method of contraception, but with low acceptability rate. Factors that govern acceptability needs to be addressed for increasing its rate. This study was done to assess the acceptance, efficiency, and complications of PPIUCD in tertiary centre of Jharkhand, India.

Methods:
This prospective study included antenatal women >34 weeks of gestational age who attended antenatal women in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology between 1st January 2020 to 1st September 2020. Details related to age, parity, education, awareness of PPIUCD, reasons for acceptance/refusal of PPIUCD were recorded. The types of insertion were postplacental, postcaesarean, and postabortal. Postinsertion counselling was done for PPIUCD, and women were followed-up at 6 weeks and 10 weeks for assessing complications.

Results:
The overall acceptance rate was 36.23% (n = 100). The main reasons for rejecting the use of PPIUCD included fear of pain, bleeding, and other complications (59.09%) and COVID-19 (10.23%). In majority (80%), type of insertion was postplacental with postcaesarean in 18% and postabortal in 2%. Complications were present in 14% women that included abdominal pain (8%), heavy menstrual bleeding (6%), infection (4%), thread not visible (1%), and IUCD not located by USG or X-ray (1%). At 6 months, expulsion occurred in 2 women. There was no significant association of age (P = 0.312), religion (P = 1), tribal/non-tribal (P = 1), education level (P = 0.628), and type of insertion (P = 0.356) with complications. At 1 year of follow up, none of the women conceived again showing the efficacy to be 100% as a contraceptive.

Conclusion:
In spite of limited awareness, PPIUCD proved to be an effective and safe method of long-acting reversible contraception. However, it had low rate of acceptability. PPIUCD was related to lesser complications as expulsion occurred in only 2 women at 6 months. Factors such as age, religion, tribal/non-tribal, education level, and type of insertion were not associated with acceptability rate. PPIUCD was 100% effective as a contraceptive.

ABSTRACT

Background:
There is a very little information known about CRP in term pregnancies. It is a marker that is easily tested and is inexpensive. Although CRP has been used very effectively in diagnosing infection in the neonate, its clinical use and values have not been studied in term pregnancies. The level of CRP that is truly normal or clinically innocuous is not known.

Objectives:
This is a cross-sectional study to compare the CRP levels in antenatal women with PROM and women with normal labor and assess its utility to predict sepsis.

Methods:
This is a prospective study done over a period of one year and approved by the insititutional ethical committee (IRB. Min. No 11102[OBSERVE] dated 10.01.2018). Sample for CRP was collected from 112 antenatal women with prelabor rupture of membranes within 12 hours of admission (Group A) and from 112 antenatal women in spontaneous labor without rupture of membrane (Group B). CRP samples are processed by nephelometry method.

Results:
The median CRP value in Group A is 9.15 and Group B is 7.26, with no statistical difference. Chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, and endometritis were similar in both the groups.

Conclusion:
CRP cannot be used as predictor for chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and neonatal sepsis. There was no significant difference in CRP levels between the two groups.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Delirium is an acute confusional state characterized by changes in the mental status, level of consciousness, impaired cognition, and inattention. It can develop within hours or days. Cortisol release from the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA) is vital for the host survival in stress. Biomarkers are used as an indicator of pathogenic processes or to assess the responses to a therapeutic intervention. To improve delirium recognition and care, investigators have identified possible biomarkers that may help in diagnosing individuals with delirium, assessing the severity of delirium. Cortisol has been suggested as biomarker for the diagnosis of delirium.

Aims and Objectives:
To evaluate and compare levels of serum cortisol in patients with alcohol withdrawal delirium with delirium due to other disorders.

Materials and Methods:
It was a cross-sectional prospective observational study. A total of 30 patients in Group A and 32 in Group B were included. The participants were evaluated based on delirium rating scale (DRS).

Results:
It was seen that in alcohol withdrawal delirium group, there was significant positive correlation between DRS score and serum cortisol level, i.e., with increase in DRS score, there was increase in serum cortisol levels and vice versa.

Conclusion:
Serum cortisol levels are associated and directly correlate with the occurrence and severity of delirium. Further studies are needed to elucidate the implications of this association for diagnosis and treatment.
Positive influencers for early initiation of breastfeeding
Authors: Sharma Nidhi , Oberoi Simmi , Moses Pidakala Mary 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
The practice of newborns being put to the breasts soon after birth results in a reduction in neonatal mortality. Factors such as antenatal care attendance, delivery at the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) facility, mode of delivery, number of children, and various socio-cultural practices are found to have a positive impact on the early initiation of breastfeeding. The present study was performed to determine the socio-demographic, maternal, and neonatal factors affecting the early initiation of breastfeeding.

Methodology:
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was performed at the Immunization Clinic and Nursery situated in a government tertiary care hospital for assessing the pattern of breastfeeding initiation. Children born at the hospital and also those reporting to the clinic from outside were included in the study.

Results:
Breastfeeding initiation within 1 hour after delivery was only 30%, and 9% did not initiate breastfeeding at all. About half of the reasons for not initiating breastfeeding were related to mothers, followed by 30% related to babies.

Conclusion:
Upon regression analysis, it was found that urban residence, higher educational status of the mothers, and those mothers who were not counselled on breastfeeding during antenatal visits had higher odds of not initiating breastfeeding and that was statistically significant.
