Zusammenfassung
Abstrakt Einleitung Tranexamsäure (TXA) ist ein
antifibrinolytisches Medikament, das zur Therapie von Blutungen als auch zur
Blutungsprophylaxe verwendet werden kann. Die Anwendung in der plastischen und
rekonstruktiven Chirurgie ist bisher äußerst begrenzt. Unseres
Wissens fehlen bisher veröffentlichte Daten zur topischen Anwendung von
TXA bei subkutaner Mastektomie transidenter Patienten.
Methoden Es erfolgte eine retrospektive Datenanalyse von Patienten, die
eine subkutanen Mastektomie bei Frau-zu-Mann Transidentität erhielten.
Insgesamt wurden 22 Patienten mit topisch applizierter TXA behandelt,
während 29 Patienten als Vergleichsgruppe dienten. Primärer
Endpunkt war die Menge der Wundsekretion in den ersten 48 h nach der Operation.
Sekundäre Endpunkte waren die Dauer der Drainage und das Auftreten von
Nachblutungen.
Ergebnisse Innerhalb der ersten 48 h zeigte sich in der Gruppe der TXA
Patienten eine durchschnittliche Menge von 97±50 ml im Vergleich zu
180±111 ml in der Kontrollgruppe (p<0,01). Es zeigte sich eine
signifikant geringere Fördermenge über den Gesamtzeitraum in der
Gruppe der TXA Patienten 113±86 ml vs. 265±197 ml. Die
Verweildauer der Drainagen lag in der TXA Gruppe bei 2,3±0,7 Tagen,
während die Drainagen in der Kontrollgruppe im Durchschnitt
3,4±1,3 Tage in situ waren (p<0,01). In der Gruppe der mit TXA
behandelten Patienten zeigte sich eine Tendenz zu einer geringeren Anzahl an
Nachblutungen (9 vs. 17 %).
Diskussion Es zeigte sich eine signifikante Reduktion der
Fördermenge über die Drainage innerhalb der ersten 48 h sowie
über den Gesamtzeitraum nach topischer Applikation von TXA. Des Weiteren
kam es zu einer Verkürzung des Zeitraums mit einliegender Drainage bei
den mit TXA behandelten Patienten. Die vorliegende Studie konnte einen
signifikanten Vorteil für die topische Anwendung von TXA bei subkutaner
Mastektomie bei Frau-zu-Mann transidenten Patienten zeigen.
Global Health 101

Published: September 2022

AbstractGlobal health is an evolving field that has been broadly defined as the promotion of health for all through transnational collaboration and research. It centers on the concepts of equity and collaboration. The focus of global health has recently undergone a major shift toward emphasizing the importance of a systems-based approach to healthcare delivery, which considers not only the target disease but also the many contextual factors, influencing the ability to deliver care equitably to a population to reduce the burden of any particular disease. Thus, an important global health delivery framework has been established to outline this inter- and multi-disciplinary systems-based to address major global health issues and improve health for all globally. The practice of global health, whether in research or in active intervention, necessitates guiding principles to ensure ethical conduct in the transnational partnerships and efforts to advance the field. With the introduction of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, there has been a major shift in response to epidemiologic transition to focus on reducing the burden of noncommunicable diseases, including cancer, which disproportionately impact low-to-middle income countries. This is true for colorectal cancer, with care challenged by significant gaps in screening, early detection, and referral systems.
Application of coflow premixed flame for generating aggregate silica particles and its limitation
Authors: Sheen Sowon , Lee Jeonghoon , Woo Chang Gyu 
Published: September 2022

This paper reports the geometrical characteristics and the growth of aggregate silica particles generated in a premixed flame using thermophoretic sampling, a light scattering technique, and aggregate dynamics modeling only for a premixed flat flame condition. The area equivalent size and the morphology of thermophoretically collected silica aggregate particles were analyzed through images taken from a transmission electron microscope. The particle stream in flames was visualized through a planar light scattering technique. Light scattering intensity at 90° using an Ar-ion laser (wavelength, 514 nm) was monitored for various flame conditions. The results of aggregate dynamics modeling under a one-dimensional assumption indicated that the silica particles grew as the height above the burner increased. Aggregate particles produced at various equivalence ratios showed different levels of OH-species. The OH-related species increased as the equivalence ratio decreased, which implies that a high equivalence ratio is recommended to produce pure silica particles. In this study, the purest silica aggregate particles were produced at the equivalence ratio of 11.4, among others. Our study helps to determine which flame condition is best in terms of the quality and/or quantity of silica aggregate particles generated by a coflow burner.
Precipitating agent (NaOH and NH4OH) dependent magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles
Authors: Jain Richa , Kumar Sanjeev , Meena Shravan Kumar 
Published: September 2022

This work investigates the effect of precipitating agents sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) on the structural and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. The co-precipitation method was used to synthesize cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (S1 and S2). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and using a vibrating sample magnetometer at temperatures of 10 and 300 K. XRD results confirm the formation of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. SEM images revealed the formation of round-shaped particles with a diameter range of 10–20 nm. Crystallite size, saturation magnetization, coercivity, squareness ratio, and anisotropy constant depend on the precipitating agents. The values of saturation magnetization for S1 are 23.6 and 32.6 emu/g whereas those for S2 are 27.4 and 41.2 emu/g at 10 and 300 K, respectively. These nanoparticles can be explored for applications in the fields of magnetism and biomedical science.
Assimilation patterns predict L2 identification accuracy of English initial consonants
Authors: Horslund Camilla Søballe , Bohn Ocke-Schwen 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
A large range of studies has generated predictions of second language (L2) speech learning problems from perceptual assimilation patterns of nonnative sounds to native (L1) categories. The present study extends our knowledge of assimilation patterns as a predictor of L2 speech perception by examining the relationship between perceptual assimilation and L2 identification. Specifically, we examine how nonnative listeners’ perceptual assimilation of the full range of English initial consonants predicts their identification accuracy. Four groups of non-native listeners, differing orthogonally with regard to their L1 (Danish, Finnish) and English-language immersion experience (immersion, non-immersion) participated. As predicted, assimilation patterns interacted with L2 experience in accounting for how the L2 learners identified English consonants for some assimilation types, while the predictions were less successful for other assimilation types.
New considerations for variable clitic placement in Spanish
Authors: Limerick Philip P. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe current study examines variable clitic placement (CP) in Spanish in a Mexican community in the metropolitan Atlanta area. By employing sociolinguistic interview data from 20 first-generation Mexican speakers, clitic frequencies and constraints are analyzed. Tokens of proclisis and enclisis were coded for linguistic and social factors that potentially influence clitic usage (e.g., topic persistence, specific clitic used, English proficiency, age, gender), and a logistic regression analysis was carried out usingRbrul(Daniel Johnson, 2009). Results indicate a proclisis rate of 64%, which is comparable to other varieties of Mexican Spanish. The regression analysis revealed that CP is sensitive to the particular construction used, the specific clitic, the presence of a pause, and the speaker’s gender. Additionally, English proficiency showed no effect on CP. This analysis supports previous research that CP is impermeable to contact-induced change and also reveals new conditioning factors (specific clitic, presence of a pause) that have not been examined in previous literature.
Dogon pseudo-subjects with or without true subjects
Authors: Heath Jeffrey , Dyachkov Vadim 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Dogon pseudo-subjects are bare meteorological, temporal-environmental, and partonymic nouns of low
referentiality/specificity that occur in fixed noun-verb collocations. The pseudo-subject controls the choice of verb in all
cases, but it fails to behave like a true subject in linear position, in a quotative-subject construction, or in
pronominal-subject agreement. The pseudo-subject is the sole nominal in these meteorological and temporal collocations, but in
partonymic collocations it co-occurs with a true subject denoting the possessor-experiencer. The latter has all of the clear
subject properties except controlling the choice of verb. Pseudo-subjects have some similarities with, but are distinct from, a
range of typologically familiar phenomena including impersonal subjects, direct objects, possessums stranded by possessor raising,
East Asian-style second subjects or post-topic subjects, incorporated nouns, and adverbial adjuncts. They can be classified as
pseudo-incorporated nominals if this category is broad enough to include subject-like as well as object-like nominals. The
relevant constructions are easily modelled in construction grammars, but not in arboreal syntax.

Abstract
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are investigated theoretically at the interface between silver metal and a hybrid system containing silver metal nanoparticles (MNPs) and semiconductor triple quantum dot (STQD). Various properties of SPPs are studied by varying the distance between silver MNP and SQD, radii of the MNP in the hybrid medium, and gate voltage applied to the TQD. A remarkable modification up to 315 μm is obtained in the SPPs’ propagation length by considering different sizes of silver MNPs in the hybrid medium. The wavelength of the SPPs is controlled via changing the distance between the MNPs and TQD, and gate voltages applied to TQD in the hybrid medium. Furthermore, we have studied the effect of various parameters such as gate voltages and radii of the MNPs on the penetration depth of SPPs into both sides of the interface of silver metal and hybrid medium. Plasmonic regions consisting of hybrid medium and silver metal provide multiple dimensions for the generation and control of SPPs. Therefore, it is assumed that these findings may have important applications in bio-sensors, atomic spectroscopy, photovoltaic devices, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, solar cells, and plasmon technology.
Spacelike trajectories in BTZ spacetime and comparison with timelike and lightlike trajectories
Authors: Roy Soumya Kanti , Raychaudhuri B , Mondal Aditya S 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Spacelike trajectories or the motions of tachyons in (2 + 1) dimensional BTZ spacetime are discussed. A study of the effective potential in this case has also been done and it is shown that unlike that for tardyons or photons it does not have any local or global extremum. It rather possesses an inflection point that depends, along with the blackhole parameters, on the integrals of motion. Tachyons are, however, found to be sensitive, like photons and tardyons, to the usual frame dragging effect due to the rotational feature of the BTZ spacetime and thus pure radial motion cannot persist. It is further found that circular orbits exist nowhere except at the horizon. That the timelike object shows the same behaviour in this case is a remarkable feature of (2 + 1) dimensional gravity. Moreover, the trapping of tachyons at the horizon is also indicated. Comparison of the spacelike trajectories with the timelike and the lightlike trajectories and the corresponding effective potentials have been done analytically and graphically.

Abstract
This paper describes the improvement of the electromagnetic plasma burn-through model. Full circuit equations describing the currents in solenoid, poloidal field coils, and toroidally conducting passive structures have been integrated into the differential equation system of the plasma energy and particle balances in DYON. This enables consistent calculation of the time-evolving loop voltage at a plasma position only using operation signals in a control room, which are current (or voltage) waveforms in solenoid and poloidal field coils and prefill gas pressure. The synthetic flux loop data calculated in the modelling agrees well with the measurement in MAST, confirming the validity of the loop voltage calculation. The electromagnetic modelling also enables calculation of 2D time-evolving poloidal magnetic flux map, thereby modelling the plasma volume evolution during the plasma break-down and burn-through phase. Only using the control room operation signals used in 34 ohmic start-up discharges with the direct induction start-up scenario in MAST, the electromagnetic plasma burn-through modelling has reproduced the time-evolution of plasma current, electron density and temperature, and plasma volume, showing a reasonable level of agreement with experimental measurement.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Rescue teams during a calamity or road accident on a highway and a lot more emergency- type situations require proper and speedy communication between the rescue unit and the patient. Usually, the need for patient data like the vitals is very much important for the ambulance and the hospital to prepare for the necessary healthcare facilities. As cities develop traffic hinders the distribution of healthcare support to the needy. Hence drones/air ambulances can solve this issue by navigating to the exact location of the patient and collecting their vitals with the help of certain sensors. The acquired data is shared with the healthcare providers and paramedics via the Internet of Things. Cloud backup helps in retrieving the data anytime and anywhere with certain safety regulations.

Abstract
Each and everyone in this world should take care of elderly patients and treat them how they need to be treated. Due to aging, most of the elderly persons are facing health related issues and sent out to homes and orphanages. Elders cannot be able to visit doctors regularly to monitor health status. This article comes up with a solution for the elderly patients around by assisting them and helping them to be fearless. Here the proposed system makes use of different parameters like GPS and GSM modules, Pulse Oximeter, Accelerometer, Touch Sensor, Bluetooth that interface with the Arduino. The proposed smart glove is used to measure temperature, fall detection, pulse rate for the elderly patients, if they are facing any health-related troubles. This will help these patients to escape by altering the caretaker.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Over the past year and a half, the globe has been facing the deadly Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. COVID-19 can affect anyone at any age and cause serious illness or death. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends staying a minimum of one meter away from others to reduce transmission to stop and hinder transmission, which is known as social distancing. The government’s directives or its guidelines are not followed by the people, which is unfortunate. Proximity sensors and ultrasonic sensors are used to measure distances between users and other people, so that an audio alert is generated if the distance is less than a predetermined limit. The Mobile Application displays the user’s body temperature measured via a temperature sensor through Bluetooth.

Abstract
In the Indian population, a larger part is under the subsistence level. Most of the people are living in areas of poor sanitation and have very little access to good medical facilities. From time to time, they don’t have the notice to go to a physician at the absolute time. The condition has been defined as a skin disorder or disease wherever there is a failure to induce the right identification and treatment in time typically ends up in advanced stages. Skin diseases tend to be itchy and cover the body easily. Among them, Psoriasis exists as a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by scaly patches on the skin. The proposed system focuses on SVM segmentation and scaling of 2D processed skin pore images of Psoriasis. The Feature Scaling Technique uses color, contrast, and image texture along with a combination of SVM classification features to diagnose and come up with a treatment solution. This computer-assisted image processing system removes erythematous from the psoriasis image for analysis and determination of growth rate. Therefore, earlier identification cuts back the symptoms of the illness and helps in developing a condition that indulges the strategies to live along with the disease condition called Psoriasis.

Abstract
A Brain tumour is formed by a gradual addition of abnormal cells, and this is one of the major causes of death among other sorts of cancers. It is necessary to classify brain tumor using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain tumor image for treatment because MRI images assist as to detect the smallest defect of the body. This paper aimed to automatically classify brain tumours using a machine learning algorithm. In this work, the input image of the brain was pre-processed using median filter, segmented from the background using thresholding and K-means clustering algorithm and its features were extracted using GLCM. Using the SVM classifier, the brain tumour in the image was detected as either benign or malignant. This image classification process helps the doctors and research scientists to detect the tumour during its early stages, thereby controlling the spread of cancerous cells.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundPromoting the adoption of personal hygiene behaviors known to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as avoiding touching one’s face with unwashed hands, is important for limiting the spread of infections.PurposeWe aimed to test the efficacy of a theory-based intervention to promote the avoidance of touching one’s face with unwashed hands to reduce the spread of COVID-19.MethodsWe tested effects of an intervention employing imagery, persuasive communication, and planning techniques in two pre-registered studies adopting randomized controlled designs in samples of Australian (N = 254; Study 1) and US (N = 245; Study 2) residents. Participants were randomly assigned to theory-based intervention or education-only conditions (Study 1), or to theory-based intervention, education-only, and no-intervention control conditions (Study 2). The intervention was delivered online and participants completed measures of behavior and theory-based social cognition constructs pre-intervention and one-week postintervention.ResultsMixed-model ANOVAs revealed a significant increase in avoidance of touching the face with unwashed hands from pre-intervention to follow-up irrespective of intervention condition in both studies, but no significant condition effects. Exploratory analyses revealed significant effects of the theory-based intervention on behavior at follow-up in individuals with low pre-intervention risk perceptions in Study 2.ConclusionsResults indicate high adoption of avoiding touching one’s face with unwashed hands, with behavior increasing over time independent of the intervention. Future research should confirm risk perceptions as a moderator of the effect theory-based interventions on infection-prevention behaviors.
