description: Background: To assure the accuracy of results and performance of hematology analyzers, each laboratory must evaluate their performance. Different models of Sysmex and Cell- Dyn analyzers are commonly used in Ethiopia including St' Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College. However, their performance has not been evaluated in most cases. If hematology analyzers are not verified and evaluated for the specific population they serve the diagnosis of many of diseases and hematology related clinical disorders will be unreliable. Objective: To evaluate the performance specifications of Cell-Dyn 1800 and Sysmex KX-21 that are found in St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College. Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study with purposive sampling technique was used at St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College from April 1 to April 8; 2015. A sample of normal values was used for repeatability, high target values of hemoglobin, RBC, WBC and platelets for linearity and carryover checks with subsequent background count were used. Data were collected using observation checklist and then entry, cleaning and analysis were performed by Microsoft Excel 2007 and SPSS version 20. Percentage, %CV, residual plotting, and Pearson ́s correlation coefficient were used to describe the results. Result: precision check revealed that both Sysmex KX-21 and Cell-Dyn 1800 values fall within the manufacturers' specifications. Linearity verifications of WBC, Hemoglobin, RBC and Platelet showed that both analyzers produced a very good correlation coefficient of > 0.97, which is also confirmed by residual plotting where all the values of the diluted samples surpassed the manufacturers' specifications. As to carryover both analyzers showed an excellent carryover percentage of <1% which surpassed the manufacturers' specifications. Conclusion: Sysmex KX-21 and Cell-Dyn 1800 met the manufacturer's specifications for precision, linearity and carryover

description: We investigate the performance of a quantum thermal machine operating in finite time based on shortcut-to-adiabaticity techniques. We compute efficiency and power for a quantum harmonic Otto engine by taking the energetic cost of the superadiabatic driving explicitly into account. We further derive generic upper bounds on both quantities, valid for any heat engine cycle, using the notion of quantum speed limits for driven systems. We demonstrate that these quantum bounds are tighter than those stemming from the second law of thermodynamics.

description: Thermoelectric properties of graphene nanoribbons with periodic edge vacancies and antidot lattice are investigated. The electron-phonon interaction is taken into account in the framework of the Hubbard-Holstein model with the use of the Lang-Firsov unitary transformation scheme. The electron transmission function, the thermopower and the thermoelectric figure of merit are calculated. We have found that the electron-phonon interaction causes a decrease in the peak values of the thermoelectric figure of merit and the shift of the peak positions closer to the center of the bandgap. The effects are more pronounced for the secondary peaks that appear in the structures with periodic antidot.

description: Optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers are controlled by the Wannier-Mott excitons forming a series of $1s$, $2s$, $2p$,... hydrogen-like states. We develop the theory of the excited excitonic states energy spectrum fine structure. We predict that $p$- and $s$-shell excitons are mixed due to the specific $D_{3h}$ point symmetry of the transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. Hence, both $s$- and $p$-shell excitons are active in both single- and two-photon processes providing an efficient mechanism of second harmonic generation. The corresponding contribution to the nonlinear susceptibility is calculated.

Year: 2014

description: Introduction; Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV) virus is hepatotropic virus spread mainly through contaminated blood and blood products, sexual contact and contaminated needles. Chronic infection by these viruses leads to slow progressive liver disease that over a period of up to 30 years may result in cirrhosis, chronic liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HIV, HBV, and HCV infection share similar transmission routes and therefore co-infection is common. These viruses are prevalent in different parts of the world including Ethiopia there for this study shows the burden of these viruses in Ethiopia. Objective: To determine the prevalence of HBV, HCV and HIV infection among clinically diagnosed chronic liver disease patients visited at Black Lion, St. Paul and Armed force hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method: Hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted in three selected hospitals of Addis Ababa over a period of 3 months (March2014- May 2014) on clinically diagnosed chronic liver disease patients. By using questionnaire brief history and risk factors was taken from each volunteering patient. Serum samples from each volunteering patients was screened for the presence of HBsAg and anti-HCV by ELISIA test kit and HIV by national test algorism. Result: A total of 117 participants who have chronic liver disease participated in the study, where 82 of them were males and the remaining 35 were females. The age distribution range form 18-78 years and the median age was 39 years. The overall prevalence of HBsAg, HCV and HIV was 34.2%, 18.8% and 9.4 respectively. The study participants had combined HBV/HIV, HCV/HIV and HBV/HCV infection which is possible because of their common modes of transmission. History of multiple sexual partner and blood transfusion also found statically significance with HBV and HCV virus infection respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of HBV and HCV is high where as HIV is moderate among chronic liver disease patients and history of blood transfusion and multiple sexual partners was statistically associated with HCV and HBV infection respectively

description: The research presents an analysis of the Pangea continent and the primordial proto-linguistic division, generating a first pangeo-linguistic wave or pangeo-linguistic era in which the different tribal ethnic groups participate with their respective cultures, dialects and languages. From this perspective, the second pangeo-linguistic wave is generated, which follows a period of dual character, where structural changes occur in the migration processes that affect dialects and languages. Finally, the proto-linguistic classification of Basque is presented, using Wegener's theory as a starting point.

description: Superconducting films in contact with non-superconducting regular arrays can exhibit commensurability effects between the vortex lattice and the unit cell of the pinning array. These matching effects yield a slowdown of the vortex flow and the corresponding dissipation decrease. The superconducting samples are Nb films grown on Si substrates. We have studied these matching effects with the array on top, embedded or threading the Nb superconducting films and using different materials (Si, Cu, Ni, Py dots and dots fabricated with Co/Pd multilayers). These hybrids allow studying the contribution of different pinning potentials to the matching effects. The main findings are: i) Periodic roughness induced in the superconducting film is enough to generate resistivity minima; ii) A minor effect is achieved by magnetic pinning from periodic magnetic field potentials obtained by dots with out of plane magnetization grown on top of the superconducting film, iii) In the case of array of magnetic dots embedded in the films vortex flow probes the magnetic state; i.e. magnetoresistance measurements detect the magnetic state of very small nanomagnets. In addition, we have studied the role played by the local order in the commensurability effects. This was attained using an array that mimics a smectic crystal. We have found that preserving the local order is crucial. If the local order is not retained the magnetoresistance minima vanish.

description: Objectives: To assess how to control, detect, and treat secondary caries. This review serves to inform a joint ORCA/EFCD consensus process. Methods: Systematic and non-systematic reviews were performed or consulted and narratively synthesized. Results: Secondary (or recurrent) caries is defined as a lesion associated with restorations or sealants. While the restorative material itself has some influence on secondary caries, further factors like the presence and size of restoration gaps, patients' caries risk, and the placing dentist's experience seem more relevant. Current detection methods for secondary caries are only sparsely validated and likely prone for the risk of over-detection. In many patients, it might be prudent to prioritize specific detection methods to avoid invasive overtreatment. Detected secondary caries can be managed either by repair of the defective part of the restoration or its complete replacement. Conclusions: There is sparse data towards the nature of secondary caries and how to control, detect, and treat it. Clinical significance: Despite often claimed to be a major complication of restorations, there is surprisingly little data on secondary caries. Longer-term studies may be needed to identify differences in secondary caries risk between materials and to identify characteristic features of progressive lesions (i.e., those in need of treatment).

description: The hot and dense nuclear matter, that is produced in heavy-ion collisions, could be studied by jets originating from beauty quarks. In-medium energy loss of these quarks provides information on several properties of the quark-gluon plasma, produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Reconstructed jets are powerful tools, since they offer access to kinematics of these hard-scattered partons. Beauty hadrons are specific for their long lifetime, large mass and large-multiplicity decays. Due to the long lifetime beauty hadrons decay at displaced secondary vertices. In the ALICE experiment, secondary vertex properties are used to tag b-jets. The study of Monte Carlo based performance of the b-tagging algorithm for charged jets in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV is discussed in proceedings.

description: Background: A comprehensive care and treatment program requires a well-functioninglaboratory services. Measurement of physicians' and nurses'satisfaction is essential for evaluating the delivery of health care andfor assessing patient outcomes.It is also as an important indicator of quality of care and a major component of laboratory quality assurance program. Objective:To assessphysicians' and nurses' satisfaction towards laboratory service among selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Methods: a cross sectional study wasconducted in 4 selected hospitals in Addis Ababa, involving 402physicians and nurses. Quantitative and Qualitative data were randomly collected from the four selected hospitals proportionally. Volunteering physicians and nurseswere included. Questionnaire was developed based on the format from published articles.SPSS version 20was used for data entry and analysis. Five point Likert Scale was utilized. Mean score calculated and satisfaction were determined based on scores equal and above to the mean. Frequencies and proportions calculated. Odds ratio with confidence intervals and P values less than 0.05 was used to determine the direction and strength of the association. Test statistics with chi square was used Result:Data werecollected from 132 physicians and 270 nurses. The mean satisfaction score was 3.0. Overall satisfaction for physician and nurses on clinical laboratory service were 64%. The highest rate of satisfaction was on availability of the staff during working hour(74.9%)and location of the laboratory(70.9%) followed by cleanness and organization of the room (69.1%), reporting of complete test result (69%). Less satisfaction rates were identified for consistency of the overall laboratory service (34.3%), panic result notification (37.9%), adequate test menu on test format (38.3%), and compatibility of laboratory result with patient condition (55.9%). In-depth interview of physicians revealed that consistency of overall laboratory service and critical result notificationare the main area of dissatisfaction. Conclusion and recommendation: The overall degree of professional's satisfaction with laboratory services was good. But further analysis is needed to identify the source which can affect the consistency of the overall laboratory service. Therefore, the hospital administrations, health bureau and ministry of health should focus on the identified gaps.

description: Objective: This is the second part of a report on tooth loss in Germany 1997-2030. Here, we describe trends in the prevalence of edentulism in seniors 1997-2014, assess predictive factors for edentulism, and projected it into 2030. Material and methods: We used data from three waves of the cross-sectional, multi-center, nationwide representative German Oral Health Studies. Overall, 3449 seniors (65-74 years) were included (1997: 1367; 2005: 1040; 2016: 1042). Age, sex, educational level, smoking status, and the cohort were entered into age-cohort binary-logistic regression models to assess the association of predictors with edentulism and to project edentulism in 2030 via Monte Carlo simulations. Results: Between 1997 and 2014, the prevalence of edentulism decreased from 24.8 to 12.4%. With each year of age, the risk of being edentate increased (by 11%, p < 0.001); it was also significantly increased in female versus male (by 40%, p = 0.001), low versus medium and high educational level (up to 257%, p < 0.001), and in former and current smokers (up to 258%, p < 0.001). We predict the prevalence of edentulism to be reduced to 4.2% in 2030. The reduction will be higher in males, never and former smokers, and those with low socio-educational level. On an absolute level and despite a growing elderly population (aged 60-80 years), the number of edentate individuals will have decreased by 3.6 million in 2030 compared with 1997. Conclusions: Edentulism in seniors has declined equitably in Germany. The decline is expected to continue until 2030. Further efforts are needed to tackle the underlying risk factors. Clinical relevance: This study presents trends of edentulism in Germany for a period of three decades. It provides clinically relevant data for health care planning by 2030.

Sero-Burden of Rubella Virus and Associated Risk Factors Among Pregnant Women Attending Anc at Selected Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Assefa, Esete
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Rubella is a contagious viral respiratory tract infection transmitted via airborne droplets. The virus in pregnant women causes miscarriage or stillbirth and/or serious birth defects and chronic diseases collectively called congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). The risk of congenital defects following maternal rubella infection reaches up to 90%.Worldwide it is estimated that more than 110,000 infants are born with congenital rubella syndrome each year. Most of these cases occur in developing countries that have not yet introduced rubella vaccine. There are no recent studies conducted to assess the burden of rubella infection on pregnant women and CRS in Ethiopia. Objective: To determine the sero-burden of rubella immunity and associated risk factors among pregnant women attending anti-natal care center of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital and Betsegah Mother and Children hospital in Addis Ababa. Method: A hospital – based, cross-sectional stdy was employed between March to June, 2016.A 422 pregnant women, were enrolled and data were collected using pretested questionnaires. Left over serum samples were collected and analyzed for anti-rubella Ig G and Ig M antibody using commercial Enzygnost® Anti-Rubella Virus /Ig G and Ig M ELISA test kits by following standard procedure. Data were analyzed using Epi-Info version 3.4 and SPSS version 20 software. Result: Of the 422 pregnant women tested for Anti-Rubella Ig G, 405(96.0%) were positive and out of these 341(80.8%) were immunized for rubella virus by natural infection. About 11(2.6%) of pregnant women were positive for Anti-Rubella Ig M, and 11(2.7%) pregnant women were positive for both Anti-Rubella Ig G and Ig M antibody. Overall, 11(2.7%) of the women were susceptible to Rubella infection, 5(45.5%) out of 11 in the first trimester of gestation was probably infectious to their fetus. Conclusion: The burden of rubella virus Ig G in pregnant women in study area was very high. This was in agreement with what has been found in other African countries where no rubella vaccinations are in place. Hence, screening of pregnant women for CRS is essential and initiation of rubella vaccination is urgently required. Key word: - Burden, CRS, Rubella, IgG, IgM

description: Quantum coherent control of ultrafast bond making and the subsequent molecular dynamics is crucial for the realization of a new photochemistry, where a shaped laser field is actively driving the chemical system in a coherent way from the thermal initial state of the reactants to the final state of the desired products. We demonstrate here coherent control over the relative yields of Mg2 molecules that are generated via photoassociation and subsequently photodriven into different groups of final states. The strong-field process involves non-resonant multiphoton femtosecond photoassociation of a pair of thermally hot magnesium atoms into a bound Mg2 molecule and subsequent molecular dynamics on electronically excited states. The branching-ratio control is achieved with linearly chirped laser pulses, utilizing the different chirp dependence that various groups of final molecular states display for their post-pulse population. Our joint experimental and theoretical study establishes the feasibility of high degree coherent control over quantum molecular dynamics that is initiated by femtosecond photoassociation of thermal atoms.

description: Objectives: We assessed dental prosthetic services utilization in very old Germans. Methods: A comprehensive sample of 404,610 very old (≥ 75 years), insured at one large statutory insurer (Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse Nordost, acting in the federal states Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), were followed over 6 years (2012-2017). Our outcome was the utilization of prosthetic services, in total and seven subgroups: (1) Crowns/partial crowns, (2) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), (3) partial removable prostheses (RDPs), (4) full RDPs, (5) temporary services, (6) relining/rebasing/repairing/extending RDPs, (7) repairing FDPs. Association of utilization with (1) gender, (2) age, (3) region, (4) social hardship status, (5) ICD-10 diagnoses and (6) German diagnoses related groups (G-DRG) was explored. Results: The mean (SD) age of the sample was 81.9 (5.4) years; mean follow-up was 1689 (705) days. The mean utilization of any prosthetic service was 27.0%; the most often utilized service type were total RDPs (13.2% utilization), crowns (8.1%), and partial RDPs (7.1%). Utilization decreased with age for nearly all services (except relining/rebasing/repairing/extending RDPs). Utilization of prosthetic services was significantly higher in Berlin and most cities compared with rural municipalities and in individuals with common, less severe conditions according to ICD-10 and DRGs compared with life-threatening conditions or dementia. In multivariable analysis, gender (OR; 95% CI: 0.95; 0.93-0.98), social hardship status (1.19; 1.17-1.21), federal state (Brandenburg 0.57; 0.56-0.59; Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: 0.66; 0.64-0.67) and age significantly affected utilization (0.95; 0.95-0.95/year). Conclusions: Patient-related and healthcare factors determine the utilization of prosthetic services in very old Germans. Interventions to maintain sufficient prosthetic care up to high age are required. Clinical significance: The utilization of prosthetic services in the very old in Northeast Germany showed significant disparities within populations and service types. There seems to be great need to better understand the drivers of utilization, and to develop and evaluate interventions to maintain sufficient prosthetic care up to high age.

description: In this work, we study time-splitting strategies for the numerical approximation of evolutionary reaction-diffusion problems. In particular, we formulate a family of domain decomposition splitting methods that overcomes some typical limitations of classical alternating direction implicit (ADI) schemes. The splitting error associated with such methods is observed to be $\mathcal{O}(τ^2)$ in the time step $τ$. In order to decrease the size of this splitting error to $\mathcal{O}(τ^3)$, we add a correction term to the right-hand side of the original formulation. This procedure is based on the improved initialization technique proposed by Douglas and Kim in the framework of ADI methods. The resulting non-iterative schemes reduce the global system to a collection of uncoupled subdomain problems that can be solved in parallel. Computational results comparing the newly derived algorithms with the Crank-Nicolson scheme and certain ADI methods are presented.
Smoke Inhalation Injury in Horse: An Overview

Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: Introduction

Smoke inhalation produces edema, congestion and necrosis of both the upper and lower respiratory tract. Smoke inhalation injury is the major cause of death among fire victims, and is a stronger determinant of mortality than severity of cutaneous burns. Smoke inhalation damages both the upper and lower respiratory tracts via thermal and chemical (toxic) mechanisms. Upper respiratory tract injury primarily results from thermal injury due to inhalation of air and particles heated to 150°C.  Thermal damage to the lower respiratory tract is less common, but can occur due to inhalation of superheated particles (<5 μm). The majority of lower respiratory tract damage results from inhalation of toxic chemicals.  The severity of lower airway injury is dependent on duration of exposure, solubility of the chemicals, and size of the chemicals in smoke.  Highly water-soluble gases—such as aldehydes, ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and sulfur dioxide—produce rapid pulmonary injury. Water insoluble gases—nitrogen and phosgene oxide—causes delayed pulmonary injury. Carbon monoxide toxicity, common with smoke inhalation, does not cause direct airway damage, but exacerbates tissue hypoxia by impairing oxygen delivery and utilization.

description: Background: Diarrhea among prisoners caused by enteric bacteria is a public health problems worldwide, especially in tropical and developing countries; Antimicrobial resistance of enteropathogenic bacteria has profound clinical implications. Poor sanitation and restriction to water access may favor the spread of enteropathogenic bacteria, which is one of the leading causes of morbidity in the world. Objectives: To determine the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated risk factors of acute gastroenteritis among prisoners at Kality prison, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted from January, 2017 to September, 2017 on a total of 238 prison inmates having acute gastroenteritis. All study participants; fresh stool specimen was collected by using Caryp-Blair transport media. Samples were transported to EPHI bacteriology laboratory at 2-80c for bacteriological analysis and each specimen were inoculated onto XLD agar, MAC agar, SMAC agar and SFB. Pure isolates were characterized based on bacterial colony morphology and standard biochemical procedures. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on Muller-Hinton agar using disk diffusion. Socio-demographic and associated risk factors data were gathered using a predesigned structured questionnaire. Socio-demographic, clinical and laboratory data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: The overall prevalence of entropathogenic bacteria in this study was 20.6% (n=49/238). Out of this 55%, 28.6% and 16.3% of the isolates were positive for E.coli O157H7, Shigella spp. and Salmonella spp respectively. E.coli 0157; H7 was highly resistance to ampicillin (96.29%), while they showed lower level of resistance to cotrimoxazole and Ceftriaxone. Shigella and Salmonella isolates showed100% resistance to ampicillin. In the other hand, all isolates of E. coli 0157; H7 were 100% susceptible to Nalidixic Acid and Ciprofloxacin. Isolates of Salmonella spp. were 100% susceptible to Ceftriaxone, Nalidixic Acid, cotrimoxazole, and Ciprofloxacin. Conclusions: Enteropathogenic bacteria from acute gastroenteritis were high among prisoner inmates. Multidrug resistance was common among shigella spp and E.coli O157H7. Ampicillin and cotrimoxazole showed high resistance to E.coli O157H7 and Shigella isolates in this study. Ciprofloxacin was susceptible for both Salmonella and Shigella isolates.

description: Due to the harm forest fires cause to the environment and the economy as they occur more frequently around the world, early fire prediction and detection are necessary. To anticipate and discover forest fires, several technologies and techniques were put forth. To forecast the likelihood of forest fires and evaluate the risk of forest fire-induced damage, artificial intelligence techniques are a crucial enabling technology. In current times, there has been a lot of interest in machine learning techniques. The machine learning methods that are used to identify and forecast forest fires are reviewed in this article. Selecting the best forecasting model is a constant gamble because each ML algorithm has advantages and disadvantages. Our main goal is to discover the research gaps and recent studies that use machine learning techniques to study forest fires. By choosing the best ML techniques based on particular forest characteristics, the current research results boost prediction power.

description: We introduce a suite of thirty cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical zoom simulations of the formation of galaxies in isolated Milky Way mass dark haloes. These were carried out with the moving mesh code \textlcsc{AREPO}, together with a comprehensive model for galaxy formation physics, including AGN feedback and magnetic fields, which produces realistic galaxy populations in large cosmological simulations. We demonstrate that our simulations reproduce a wide range of present-day observables, in particular, two component disc dominated galaxies with appropriate stellar masses, sizes, rotation curves, star formation rates and metallicities. We investigate the driving mechanisms that set present-day disc sizes/scale lengths, and find that they are related to the angular momentum of halo material. We show that the largest discs are produced by quiescent mergers that inspiral into the galaxy and deposit high angular momentum material into the pre-existing disc, simultaneously increasing the spin of dark matter and gas in the halo. More violent mergers and strong AGN feedback play roles in limiting disc size by destroying pre-existing discs and by suppressing gas accretion onto the outer disc, respectively. The most important factor that leads to compact discs, however, is simply a low angular momentum for the halo. In these cases, AGN feedback plays an important role in limiting central star formation and the formation of a massive bulge.
