Conclusion: The study concluded that combined isotonic exercises group showed better results than deep friction soft tissue technique group for improvement of pain and functional disability in lateral epicondylitis patients
On product state distributions in triatomic unimolecular reactions

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Recently, we derived a simple dynamically corrected statistical treatment of state distributions in the products of triatomic unimolecular reactions involving efficient energy transfers between rotation and translation motions en route to products. The reactions considered were those for which transfers are mainly due to the force responsible for the bending motions of the reagent molecule. Our treatment was initially devoted to processes involving a linear bending force in the region of the transition state. It is now extended to the case where this force is non-linear and is applied to the processes O2H (D, T) → O2 + H (D, T).

QoE- Driven Resource Allocation for Secure URLLC in 6G-Enabled IoT Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper investigates the resource allocation problem to attain secure ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) in 6G-enabled internet of things (IoT) network. To provide URLLC service, short packet transmission is adopted to reduce latency and we propose a metric to evaluate reliability which is based on the security rate formula under finite blocklength. The optimization objective is non-convex and a complex expression, and it is transformed into a tractable form to solve. Then, a game-theoretical framework is designed to analyse the converted problem and a channel allocation algorithm with inner approximation is proposed to converge to the Nash equilibrium solution which is a near-optimum to the original problem. Finally, numerical results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
Electrophysiological Analysis of Central Neurons in the Bee and Correlations with Behavior

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Electrophysiological recordings from single cells support the neuroanatomical data. The majority of these cells respond to more than one modality. Therefore, an electrophysiological analysis of central neurons in the bee brain can only be successful when it examines first the general response properties of single neurons and then, in a second step, tests stimulus combinations which are relevant for behavior. Neurons of the antenno-glomerular-tract were analysed and identified with electrophysiological techniques by O. Homberg. The neuroanatomical and electrophysiological results concerning the input of the mushroom bodies are in good agreement. Bees show various behavioral responses in the laboratory situation; many of these reactions have the properties of reflexes. Two behavioral modifications were analysed on the neuronal level: sensitization of the antennal reflex and associative olfactory learning. The changes on the neuronal level compare directly with the changes observed in behavior.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Nowadays, there are massive demands for enabling Internet of Things (IoT) technology in multi-disciplines domains. IoT provides a suitable and adaptable platform for different system such healthcare, transportation, communication, industry, gaming and entertainment, agriculture, security....etc. This paper focuses on using IoT technology with Cloud in healthcare system through a novel idea to evaluate mental and physical brain activities by exploit EEG headset. The traditional EEG headsets rely on using invasive EEG with multiple electrodes, which makes patients stressed and worried from wearing such headset. Thus, the proposed architecture model relies on using a modern, comfortable, easy-wear EEG headset to collect data through a car racing competition. Such data will be forward to Cloud to perform analysis and indicate level of brainwave diagnostics in order to control a robotic car to pass into a certain challenge directions. This idea facilitates the complexity of the conventional mental evaluation by using Neurosky Mindwave EEG headset to be easy for use and adaptable with multiple changes and developments. In this paper, we aim to introduce the idea of Brain Race for mental status detection and evaluation as a new transition step between entertainment and brain activity evaluation at different scenarios.

Signal processing with passive acoustic in fisheries and marine science learn the sound frequency range of fish, the intensity of the sound amplitude, sound fluctuations, and shape the sound patterns of the fish.Application of passive acoustic filed for marine fisheries and science detects the sound frequency range of fish, the intensity of the sound amplitude, sound fluctuations, and shape the sound patterns of the fish.Passive acoustic methods used to monitor marine mammals expressed.In general, the signal obtained from the ranimal record sounds is poor and difficult to determine from which directions it is produced, therefore it requires that require amplification/ strengthening.Bioacoustic research is needed to identify the communication language (acoustic communication) in mammals.Bioacoustic detect mammal-produced frequency ranges of sound, amplitude intensity of sound, voice fluctuation, and form sound patterns of mammals.Studying bioacoustic is inseparable from the science of underwater acoustics, biology of mammals, and the study of mammalian behavior.Generally bioacoustic include physiology of mammals organ that produce sound, earnings voice mechanism, sound characteristics of mammals, mammals sound-approaching mechanism, the hearing capacity of fish, and the evolution of the auditory system, and to obtain the frequency range of each sound produced by the dolphins (mammals).Environmental conditions and parameters (salinity and temperature) will greatly affect the value of the intensity and frequency generated from the target, the more extreme the environmental conditions, the lower value of the intensity and frequency generated.
Diet Recommendations for Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common chronic functional gastrointestinal (GI) disease that is characterized by abdominal pain in association with defecation and change in bowel habits.1 The condition has a multifactorial and incompletely understood pathophysiology, including altered brain-gut interactions, microbiome changes, differed GI motility, psychological factors, and food hypersensitivity.2 With the heterogenicity of the disorder, there is no standardized treatment for IBS, leading its therapy to rely on symptomatic treatments.2 The influence of dietary triggers on the generation of IBS symptoms is well-known and includes different mechanisms including immune activation, mast cell inflammation, and luminal distention.2 Studies show that 50% of patients with IBS have postprandial exacerbations of symptoms within 90 minutes of eating with the prevalence of food intolerance being as high as 70%.3 More specifically, Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, and Mono-saccharides And Polyols (FODMAPs) have been recognized as triggers to IBS symptoms, as they ultimately lead to increased gas production as a consequence of food fermentation.1 Therapeutic gains offered by medications are only 8-20% more than that of placebo use, thereby improving the conditions of less than half of patients.3 Given the limitations of drug therapy, the long course of IBS, and the role of food in symptom development, diet and lifestyle play an essential role in managing IBS.2,3 Unfortunately, there is currently little high-quality evidence regarding a dietary approach.2 Nevertheless, many different approaches have been suggested including the low-FODMAP diet (LFD), gluten-free diet (GFD), wheat-free diet (WFD), and lactose-free diet, with the first two mentioned diets being the most suggested.2 This article will focus on comparing the diets used for those with IBS and discuss how providers today can best implement these diets in current practice.

Self-Reported Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Racially Diverse, Low-Income Study Population

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is underutilized, especially in low income, high minority populations. We examined the effect test-specific barriers have on colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical test (FIT) completion, what rationales are given for non-completion, and what “switch” patterns exist when participants are allowed to switch from one test to another. Low income adults who were not up-to-date with CRC screening guidelines were recruited from safety-net clinics and offered colonoscopy or FIT (n=418). Follow up telephone surveys assessed test-specific barriers. Test completion was determined from patient medical records. For subjects who desired colonoscopy at baseline, finding a time to come in and transportation applied more to non-completers than completers (p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). For participants who initially wanted FIT, keeping track of cards, never putting stool on cards, and not remembering to mail cards back applied more to non-completers than completers (p = 0.003, p = 0.006, and p < 0.001, respectively). The most common rationale given for not completing screening was a desire for the other screening modality: 7% of patients who initially preferred screening by FIT completed colonoscopy, while 8% of patients who initially preferred screening by colonoscopy completed FIT. We conclude that test-specific barriers apply more to subjects who did not complete CRC screening. As a common rationale for test non-completion is a desire to receive a different screening modality, our findings suggest screening rates could be increased by giving patients the opportunity to switch tests after an initial choice is made.
STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIPS OF A SMALL MOLECULE INHIBITOR OF AMINOGLYCOSIDE 6'-N ACETYLTRANSFERASE TYPE Ib [AAC(6')-Ib]

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Aminoglycosides are a standard treatment for gram-negative bacterial infections but, their efficacy is declining due to the rise and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Resistance to aminoglycosides is caused mainly by aminoglycoside modifying enzymes, with aminoglycoside (6’)-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [AAC(6')-Ib] being the most clinically relevant in Gram-negative pathogens. This enzyme catalyzes the inactivation of aminoglycosides by transferring an acetyl group from acetyl CoA to the 6’ amino group of the antibiotic molecule. A strategy to combat this issue is the development of inhibitors of AAC(6’)-Ib. Using mixture-based combinatorial libraries, the scaffold ranking approach and the positional scanning strategy, inhibitors were searched for and identified. A compound was identified and found to be potent against AAC(6')-Ib, potentiated the activity of amikacin against three resistant bacteria-harboring aac(6')-Ib and improved the survival of Galleria mellonella infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii strains harboring aac(6’)-Ib. To further develop this potential inhibitor, the structure-activity relationship approach was applied to a series of experiments involving analog of this inhibitor at five R diversity positions of the compound and were tested for the ability to inhibit AAC(6’)-Ib in vitro and to potentiate the antimicrobial action of amikacin against an Acinetobacter baumannii strain harboring aac(6’)-Ib. Most changes were found to either diminish or have negligible effects on the performance of the inhibitor, except at R5 diversity position which didn’t result in a significant reduction in performance. In addition, compound 19 exhibited antimicrobial properties that may warrant further investigation. In the end, a better understanding of the inhibitor was achieved; however, more work is needed for the continued development of this compound.
Gramicidin A Mutants with Antibiotic Activity against Both Gram‐Positive and Gram‐Negative Bacteria

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have shown potential as alternatives to traditional antibiotics for fighting infections caused by antibiotic‐resistant bacteria. One promising example of this is gramicidin A (gA). In its wild‐type sequence, gA is active by permeating the plasma membrane of Gram‐positive bacteria. However, gA is toxic to human red blood cells at similar concentrations to those required for it to exert its antimicrobial effects. Installing cationic side chains into gA has been shown to lower its hemolytic activity while maintaining the antimicrobial potency. In this study, we present the synthesis and the antibiotic activity of a new series of gA mutants that display cationic side chains. Specifically, by synthesizing alkylated lysine derivatives through reductive amination, we were able to create a broad selection of structures with varied activities towards Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Importantly, some of the new mutants were observed to have an unprecedented activity towards important Gram‐negative pathogens, including Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae and Psuedomonas aeruginosa .
Rapid Extraction of Aflatoxin from Creamy and Crunchy Peanut Butter

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract A rapid extraction technique was developed for the isolation and subsequent liquid chromatographic determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 in creamy and crunchy peanut butter. Peanut butter samples were extracted with a methanol 15% sodium chloride (7 + 3) solution followed by a second extraction with methanol. The extract was subjected to a cleanup using a Vicam Aflatest® immunoaffinity column. Control samples for both smooth and crunchy peanut butter were fortified at 4 different levels for aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2. The average aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2 recoveries from smooth peanut butter were 95.2, 89.9, 94.1, and 62.4%, respectively, and 92.4, 84.3, 85.5, and 53.7%, respectively, from crunchy peanut butter. This extraction method and the official AOAC Method 991.31 produced comparable results for peanut butter samples. This method provides a rapid, specific, and easily controlled assay for the analysis of aflatoxins in peanut butter with minimal solvent usage. Organic solvent consumption was decreased by 85% and hazardous waste production was decreased by 80% in comparison with the AOAC method. Along with the decreased solvent consumption, significant savings in time were observed.
Clinical and practical value of human cytomegalovirus DNAemia detection by semi-nested PCR for follow-up of BMT recipients.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of this prospective study of 162 recipients of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) was to evaluate the use of DNAemia detection by semi-nested PCR for the diagnosis of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and HCMV disease. We compared the results obtained for DNAemia with those obtained for viremia, using the shell vial assay. Patients were divided in three groups, according to BMT type (allogeneic or autologous) and date of transplant; 876 DNAemia/viremia pairs were analyzed and the overall concordance between the two tests was 97.5%. Discrepancies between the two tests were essentially due to the earlier positivity of DNAemia. Among the 10 patients with positive DNAemia episodes, 9 developed HCMV disease. DNAemia was more sensitive than viremia for HCMV disease diagnosis, while viremia had a higher positive predictive value. DNAemia appeared easily adaptable to routine laboratory use, less expensive and more informative than viremia. This study shows that DNAemia is a method that can replace viremia detection, allowing HCMV infection and disease follow-up of recipients of allogeneic BMT during the first year after BMT.
