Comparison of Fasciotomy Wound Closures Using Single against Double incision, and Traditional Dressing Changes against Vacuum-Assisted Closure Device In diabetic and non-traumatic cellulites of lower limbs

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSRTACTFasciotomy done on patient with cellulites can be major contributors not only due to the long stay but also difficult reconstructive surgical challenges.In order to avoid later complications the incised wound once relieved of its compartment pressure should be closed as early as possible to decrease the morbidity and late rehabilitation Using single incisions either on the medial or lateral side of leg thence opening the compartment of the lateral, superficial posterior, or medial, and deep posterior in a single incision by going through the facial compartment is as good as using multiple incisions on cellulites of lower limbs.Skin grafting often leads to the morbidity and scarring of the donors as well as on the wound site.Hence primary closure of the wound gives as aesthetic and more functional out come with less morbidity for the patients.But can be difficult to achieve secondary to oedema, skin retraction and skin edge necrosis.Our objectives are comparison over using single to double incision used to relieve the compartment pressure secondly time to definite closure and finally traditionally wet to dry dressings and vacuum assisted closure device [VAC] Materials & Methods: our studies we have selected 84 patients with acute non traumatic cellulites of lower limbs various kinds were included at R.L.

Rapid high-performance liquid chromatography method for determination of pregabalin in a pharmaceutical dosage form following derivatization with fluorescamine.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A simple, fast, and sensitive HPLC method was developed and validated for the evaluation of pregabalin in a pharmaceutical dosage form using fluorescamine as a derivatization agent for the first time. After a precolumn derivatization (5 min, room temperature), the reaction mixture was chromatographed on a C18 column with isocratic elution using 0.2% of triethylamine in a mixture of methanol and water (10 + 90, v/v). 3-Aminopentanoic acid was used as the internal standard. Using fluorescent detection (lamdaex 395 nm, lamdaem 476 nm), a low detection limit of 0.02 microg/mL was reached. The method was linear (r > 0.999) over the lower (0.125-25 microg/mL) and higher (1.25-250 microg/mL) concentration range. The intraday and interday precision of the QC samples was < 4.3%, and the accuracy was 94.2-102.5%. The samples were stable for 24 h at 4 degrees C. The robustness study showed that the derivatization is more robust than the chromatography method. The method was applied for the analysis of pregabalin content in 25, 75, and 300 mg capsules, and a good agreement was found with the declared amount of pregabalin (the relative error did not exceed 3.2%). Finally, the method was successfully used for dissolution studies of pregabalin capsules.
"Using The Paired Comparison Method In Improving Soccerrankings: The Case Of The Romanian First Division "

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The most common way to establish the final ranking in the football leagues across the world is to have all participating teams playing each other, home and away, in a double roundrobin system.The team which obtains the highest number of points is declared champion while a number of teams that have obtained the lowest number of points are relegated.Various criteria are considered to differentiate the equal teams, such as superior overall goal difference, higher number of goals scored during the competition, results in the direct games, and so on.Complementary ways are considered to improve the final ranking, such as a double number of home-away games, playoffs and play-outs, supplementary games played home or away.The paper advances a new way to determine the final ranking of a football leagues based on the paired comparison approach and presents the results of testing this approach at the level of the Romanian First Division.
Effect of muramidase fouling on nanofiltration of estrone

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Protein (Muramidase) fouling and its effects on rejection of Estrone (E1) by two nanofiltration membranes (NF90 and NF270) were investigated in this study. Fouling conditions were achieved with Muramidase (lysozyme) added in a 50L Milli Q water with 10mM ionic strength. The effects of membrane fouling on the separation process were investigated by comparing the rejection values of clean and fouled membranes and relate them to their membrane pore size as well as physicochemical characteristics of Estrone. Results reported in this study suggest that rejection of trace Estrone by clean NF membranes was governed by steric hindrance and hydrophobic interactions. The estrone’s hydrophobicity was suggested to be influenced only the rejection in the initial stage of filtration based on the similar rejection of Estrone by NF270 and NF90 found at the initial stage of filtration. Nevertheless, steric exclusion (or size exclusion) appears to be the most prevalent mechanism controlling not only retention of both trace Estrone and salt, but also the membrane fouling process as well as the effects of fouling on the retention. Both fouled and clean NF90 performed near complete (<80%) and higher rejection of estrone than membrane NF270 in clean and fouled condition. The improved Estrone rejection on fouled membrane can be attributed to the formation of cake layer which may trigger stronger electrostatic repulsion between Estrone and cake layer attached on the membrane surface. Adsorption of Estrone onto the cake layer is possible due to the highly hydrophobicity of Estrone and the special characteristics of protein (Muramidase) with the tendency to cluster with hydrophobic compounds. The contact angles of both membranes were altered after fouling process. Pore blocking and cake layer formation are believed to cause fouling behavior such as permeate flux decline. The permeate flux decline was found to be more severe in NF90 due to the dense cake layer formation. There is a good correlation found between the trans-membrane pressure applied and the severity of flux decay. With a specific membrane type, the permeate flux decline tends to achieve a certain level regardless of their trans-membrane pressure applied. No clear influence brought by fouling was found in feed and permeate solution in terms of the conductivity change.
[Discovery, isolation and structural identification of alkaloid glycosides in six traditional Chinese medicine such as Coptis chinensis].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Alkaloids are important active ingredients occurring in many traditional Chinese medicines, and alkaloid glycosides are one of their existence forms. The introduction of saccharide units improves the water solubility of alkaloid glycosides thus presenting better biological activity.Because of the low content in plants, alkaloid glycosides have been not comprehensively studied. In this study, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS) was employed to identify and analyze the alkaloid glycosides in Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron chinense, Menispermum dauricum, Sinomenium acutum, Tinospora sagittata and Stephania tetrandra. The results showed that except Tinospora sagittata, the other five herbal medicines contained alkaloid glycosides. Furthermore, the alkaloid glycosides in each herbal medicine were identified based on UV absorption spectra, quasimolecular ion peaks in MS, fragment ions information in the MS/MS, and previous literature reports. A total of 42 alkaloid glycosides were identified. More alkaloid glycosides were identified in C. chinensis and Menispermum dauricum, and eleven in C. chinensis were potential new compounds. Furthermore, the alkaloid glycosides in the water extract of C. chinensis were coarsely se-parated by macroporous adsorption resin, purified by column chromatography with D151 cation exchange resin, ODS and MCI, combined with semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. Two new alkaloid glycosides were obtained, and their structures were identified by mass spectrometry and NMR data as(S)-7-hydroxy-1-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-2,2-N,N-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and(S)-N-methyltetrahydropalmatubine-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, respectively. This study is of great significance for enriching the information about the chemical composition and the in-depth development of C. chinensis. Meanwhile, it can provide a reference for rapid identification and isolation of alkaloid glycosides from other Chinese herbal medicines.
A study on Islamic finance as an approach for financial inclusion in India

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper endeavors to investigate whether the Islamic financial system can tackle the issue of financial exclusion in India or not. The present study has made an earnest attempt to explore the discriminating factors behind choosing of the institutes (conventional or Islamic), in decreasing order of their importance. Data for the study are collected from 635 respondents, who are customers of Islamic and traditional financial institutes. The area selected for the survey is the state of Kerala, which is considered as the Islamic finance hub in India. The data collected are analyzed by employing the discriminant analysis along with drawing inferences from descriptive statistics. The study finds various factors in descending order of their importance. The factors are type of employment, religion (Muslim/Non-Muslim), income and gender. These are discriminating factors for choosing particular institutes (conventional or Islamic). The study shows that Islamic finance system was chosen by those, particularly Muslims, who did not have good employment and sufficient income. Hence, it is recommended that extensive formal beginning of Islamic finance in India, will lead to higher financial inclusion, since generally the financially excluded individuals belong to the said segments of the society, furthermore, Islamic finance is highly fascinated by the mentioned groups, the planners should think accordingly. The study is novel in its’ approach as it evidently illustrates that Islamic financial system is chosen by those, who do not have good employment, Muslims and those who earn less. Thus, there should be extensive formal commencement of Islamic finance in India to kick off higher financial inclusion.
Multiplicities in viewpoint – a new dimension to the feminist struggle.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

There is the suggestion that male dominance is seen as the biggest hindrance to the feminist movement, and in order to achieve equality with men, women would have to demonstrate an awareness of the power imbalance and resist it as well. To do the opposite – to submit and condone the act of male dominance would be “bad faith” (Beauvoir 24) – a concept describing the situation in which one accepts one’s position as an object. However, although a vast majority of the feminist critics state otherwise, this paper argues that submissiveness could be used as a subversive tool or a form of empowerment that supports the feminist movement, instead of being something oppressive. The novels The Lover and Memoirs of a Geisha will also be analyzed in this paper, as both novels depict women who willingly submit to men. Both novels demonstrate that there is no monolithic way of looking at any issue – be it submission in itself, or the feminist movement as a whole. It is then absolutely necessary to take into consideration the multiple viewpoints and contexts that all novels are situated in, before passing a conclusion on whether they work towards or against feminist efforts.
A hybrid P/KPCA-based approach for motion capture data automatic segmentation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A Motion Data Automatic Segmentation using a Probabilistic/Kernel principal component analysis (P/KPCA) method is proposed. This approach utilizes Kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) to construct a kernel function while using Probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA) to reduce motion noise. Formulate the feature function to obtain the derivative of projection error, and detect the segmentation point of data through analyzing the change of geometric features to realize the automatic segmentation. It is indicated in the experiment that the motion capture technique has certain feasibility. The paper presents the automatic segmentation approach of the motion capture data, in which the motion data is automatic segmented through KPCA combined with PPCA to reduce the dimension and project the 56 dimensional data in 2 dimensional space; formulate the feature function to obtain the derivative of projection error, and detect the segmentation point of data through analyzing the change of geometric features to realize the automatic segmentation. It is indicated in the experiment that the motion capture technique has certain feasibility.

Geographic Cross-Sectional Fiscal Spending Multipliers: What Have We Learned?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

A geographic cross-sectional fiscal spending multiplier measures the effect of an increase in spending in one region in a monetary union.Empirical studies of such multipliers have proliferated in recent years.In this paper, I review this research and what the evidence implies for national multipliers.Based on an updated analysis of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and a survey of empirical studies, my preferred point estimate for a cross-sectional output multiplier is 1.8.Economic theory of how to map these multipliers into a national multiplier has also advanced.Drawing on the theoretical literature, the paper discusses conditions under which the cross-sectional multiplier provides a rough lower bound for a particular national multiplier, the closed economy zero lower bound multiplier.Putting these elements together, the crosssectional evidence suggests a national zero lower bound multiplier of about 1.7 or above, at the upper end of most studies based on time series evidence.The paper concludes by offering suggestions for future research on cross-sectional multipliers.
Habitat use in the female Alpine long-eared bat (Plecotus macrobullaris): does breeding make the difference?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Recent discoveries of several new cryptic bat species in Europe, as well as the growing concerns on bat conservation, have resulted in increased efforts to study roost site selection, habitat use and spacing/foraging behaviour. For many of these cryptic species, management is problematic due to the lack of information. We present data on space and habitat use of 14 radio-tagged Plecotus macrobullaris females from a nursery in the central part of the species' distribution. They used home ranges larger than 10 km2, and the behavioural pattern was typically a first foraging bout soon after emergence from the nursery, followed by fast non-foraging flight towards selected habitat types. Habitat selection, as evaluated by K-select analysis, is non-random with preference for ecotones at woodland borders and rural areas, whereas woods are avoided. Body condition differentially affects habitat use for breeding and non-breeding females: breeding females in good condition showed a strong preference for ecotones. Among non-breeding females, the preference for ecotones varied with body condition. Being the sibling species of P. auritus, which is considered a woodland bat, the selection pattern observed for P. macrobullaris raises some questions about the possible niche partition in cases of sympatry.
Realizing interactions between dark matter and dark energy using k-essence cosmology

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we exploit dynamics of a [Formula: see text]-essence scalar field to realize interactions between dark components of universe resulting in an evolution consistent with observed features of late-time phase of cosmic evolution. Stress–energy tensor corresponding to a [Formula: see text]-essence Lagrangian [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text]) is shown to be equivalent to an ideal fluid with two components having same equation of state. Stress–energy tensor of one of the components may be generated from a constant potential [Formula: see text]-essence Lagrangian of form [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] constant) and that of other from another Lagrangian of form [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. We have shown that the unified dynamics of dark matter and dark energy described by a single scalar field [Formula: see text] driven by a [Formula: see text]-essence Lagrangian [Formula: see text] may be viewed in terms of diffusive interactions between the two hypothetical fluid components “1” and “2” with stress–energy tensors equivalent to that of Lagrangians [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. The energy transfer between the fluid components is determined by functions [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and their derivatives. Such a realization is shown to be consistent with the Supernova Ia data with certain constraints on the temporal behavior of [Formula: see text]-essence potential [Formula: see text]. We have described a methodology to obtain such constraints.
Foreign Military Intervention, Power Dynamics, and Rebel Group Cohesion

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Third-party states use foreign military intervention as a tool to influence the outcome of intrastate conflict. The literature identifies other consequences associated with this intervention but has not yet examined its effect on rebel group cohesion. We might expect rebel groups to coalesce or splinter depending on the direction of the intervention. This paper tests this relationship on all intrastate armed conflicts during the period from 1975 to 2009. It finds that rebels tend to coalesce when a foreign power intervenes on their behalf. External interventions, whether supporting the rebels or the government, however, do not appear to influence rebel group splintering.
Examination of burnout for severity and risk factors in New Zealand otolaryngologists: a cross-sectional study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Burnout is an increasingly important phenomenon amongst healthcare professionals and leads to poorer healthcare delivery and provider well-being. This research sought to assess the severity and risk factors for burnout within the community of specialist otolaryngologists in New Zealand. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted amongst all New Zealand Otolaryngologists over a 6-month period from March to September 2019 to determine degree and severity of burnout. All otolaryngology consultants practicing in New Zealand were included in the study. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS) was used to assess burnout. Demographic and work-related factors were collected in a separate questionnaire developed by the authors and univariate statistical analysis was conducted on each potential risk factor. Chi-square and Kendall's Tau-B statistical tests were utilised to ascertain correlation with burnout. Results: Questionnaires were sent to 109 participants and 75 complete responses were returned. The prevalence of burnout in this group was 37.3%, with 9.3% demonstrating severe burnout. Predictors of burnout included feeling dissatisfied with their careers [rt=0.423, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.289–0.540, P<0.001], feeling burdened by on-call demands [χ2(1, n=75)=13.385, P<0.001], and feeling that work was interfering with their personal, social, and family commitments (rt=0.361, 95% CI: 0.221–0.487, P<0.001). Participants subjectively feeling burnt out were more likely to meet the criteria for burnout on the MBI-HSS scale [χ2(1, n=74)=18.594, P<0.001]. Conclusions: A high proportion of New Zealand otolaryngologists suffered burnout. This poses significant risks to safe and efficient healthcare delivery as well as provider well-being. Additionally, there are likely more surgeons suffering moderate burnout than previously thought.
