Published: July 2022

AbstractContextThere is little evidence regarding the association between serum vitamin B6 status and catabolism and all-cause mortality in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).ObjectiveWe aimed to ascertain if the serum level of vitamin B6 and catabolism, including pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) and 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA), were associated with risk of all-cause mortality in T2DM patients.MethodsThis prospective cohort study involved 2574 patients with T2DM who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2010. The serum concentrations of PLP and 4-PA were used to assess the serum level of vitamin B6. Mortality status was determined by routine follow-up using the National Death Index through December 31, 2015.ResultsOver a median follow-up of 85 months, there were 588 deaths. The fully adjusted Cox model indicated that the highest serum PLP concentrations (&gt; 63.6 nmol/L) were associated with a decrease in all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55-0.99, P trend = .035). The risk for all-cause mortality was 59% higher for participants with the highest quartile of 4-PA level compared with the lowest quartile (HR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.12-2.35; P trend = .003). The sensitivity and specificity of the combination of PLP and 4-PA levels for the prediction of all-cause mortality were 59.5% and 60.9%, respectively (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.632). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival for patients based on different combinations of PLP level and 4-PA level. Patients with PLP less than 24.3 nmol/L and 4-PA greater than or equal to 25.4 nmol/L had the worst outcomes (log-rank P &lt; .001).ConclusionOverall, our data suggest that a low serum level of PLP and high serum level of 4-PA, which represent the serum level of vitamin B6, increases the risk of all-cause mortality significantly in patients with T2DM.

An Unusual Case of Bilateral Ovarian Dermoid Cyst in an Infertile Woman - A Case Report
Authors: Jangam Vijetha  , Alpana Singh  , Swapna Rani  
Published: July 2022

Dermoid ovarian cysts or benign cystic teratomas are benign germ cell tumours which make up to 10 to 25 % of all ovarian tumours. These are usually found in women of reproductive age group with peak age between 25 and 45 years. Of all cystic tumours of the ovary, 5 to 10 % are dermoid cysts. These are bilateral in 12 to 15 % of cases.
Mature cystic teratomas account for 10–20 % of all ovarian neoplasms and are the most common neoplasms in patients younger than 20 years of age. Mature teratomas are usually benign, but in 0.1-0.2 % of cases, they may undergo malignant transformation.[1]
The word “teratoma,” initially coined by Virchow in 1863, originates from the Greek word teraton, meaning monster. The term “dermoid cyst” used much earlier for the same entity was coined by Leblanc, in 1831.[2] These are initially asymptomatic but can become symptomatic and present with symptoms like pain in the abdomen, anorexia, bloating, and an increase in size. Other complications are torsion, rupture, and infection. They are usually unilocular with smooth surfaces containing sebaceous material with hair, lined by squamous epithelium. Tissues like cartilage, bone, teeth, bronchial mucosa and thyroid tissue can be found in the wall. They have tissues from all three germ layers but ectodermal structures predominate. Diagnosis is usually made by ultrasound scan. Dermoid cysts have a characteristic appearance on ultrasound. Ultrasound findings include the presence of a Rokitansky nodule, fat fluid levels, dermoid mesh, and the “tip of the iceberg sign”.[3] CT scan and MRI can also be used. Management includes surgical excision by laparotomy or laparoscopy.

Coverage and Energy Efficiency Optimization for Randomly Deployed Multi-Tier Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Authors: Cevik Taner , Gunagwera Alex 
Published: July 2022

In this study, a novel multi-tier framework is proposed for randomly deployed WMSNs. Low cost directional Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR sensors) are randomly deployed across a Region of Interest (RoI), which are activated according to the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm proposed for coverage optimization. The proposed DE and the Genetic Algorithms are applied to optimize the coverage maximization using minimum sensors. Results obtained using the two approaches are tested and compared. Only the scalar sensors that are yielded by the coverage optimization process are kept active throughout the network lifetime while the multimedia sensors are kept in silent. When an event is detected by a scalar sensor, the corresponding multimedia sensor(s), in whose effective coverage field of view (FoV) that the target falls, is then activated to capture the event (target point/scene). The analysis of the network total energy expenditure and a comparison of the proposed framework to current approaches and frameworks is made. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture achieves a remarkable network lifetime prolongation while extending the coverage area.
