Implication of Orthoptic scoring system for the management of Orbital Floor Blowout Fracture

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBJECTIVES: To introduce an orthoptic scoring system that can be implicated for decision-making about the management of patients with orbital floor blowout fractures and to assess the significance of orthoptics as a decisive element in the treatment of patients with orbital floor blowout fracture (OFBF). METHOD: The Ethical Review Board of the College of Ophthalmology and Allied Vision Sciences (1479, 23), Mayo Hospital, Lahore, has approved this study. A comprehensive prospective cohort study was done on 44 Mayo Hospital, Lahore patients using a self-designed proforma. The duration of the study was from September to November, 2023. Forty-four participants were included with an age limit of 15-80 years. Complete orthoptic evaluation and review of medical records were done on each participant individually. All factors (diplopia, extraocular muscles movement, ecchymosis and others) included in this orthoptic scoring system were numbered according to individual patients' conditions. Descriptive data analysis was done by using SPSS Version 25.00. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was used to define the significance threshold. RESULTS: Out of the 44 patients, 15.9% of patients were recommended for conservative treatment, surgery was deemed as a viable option for 29.5% of patients, and surgery was considered necessary for 54.5% of patients with an orbital floor blowout fracture. All the factors included in orthoptic scoring system were evaluated significant (p-value=0.00) CONCLUSION: The orthoptic scoring system has the potential to serve as a valuable diagnostic tool in the management of patients with orbital floor blowout fractures. The study suggests that a comprehensive orthoptic evaluation is necessary to determine the optimal treatment for patients with orbital floor blowout fractures.
The Cognitive-Affective-Conative Model of Destination Image: A Confirmatory Analysis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Destination image influences tourist behaviour before, during and after travel, as it is an important instrument which contributes to tourists’ loyalty. Although Gartner (1993) advocates that the cognitive, affective and conative dimensions of destination image are hierarchically interrelated, there is no empirical evidence to support the complete model. This study aims to test the hierarchical nature of the relationship between the dimensions of destination image. The results of structural equation modelling confirm Gartner’s theoretical model, validating the theory that the influence of the cognitive component on the conative dimension is higher when mediated by the affective component, raising managerial implications.
Polynomial time guarantees for sampling based posterior inference in high-dimensional generalised linear models

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The problem of computing posterior functionals in general high-dimensional statistical models with possibly non-log-concave likelihood functions is considered. Based on the proof strategy of Nickl and Wang (2022), but using only local likelihood conditions and without relying on M-estimation theory, nonasymptotic statistical and computational guarantees are provided for a gradient based MCMC algorithm. Given a suitable initialiser, these guarantees scale polynomially in key algorithmic quantities. The abstract results are applied to several concrete statistical models, including density estimation, nonparametric regression with generalised linear models and a canonical statistical non-linear inverse problem from PDEs.
Live Biotherapeutic Products and Probiotics for the Skin

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The skin microbiome is essential for the proper barrier functions of the skin, preventing the invasion of pathogens and regulating immune responses. When disrupted, recurrent conditions including atopic dermatitis, acne, or chronic wounds can result. Live biotherapeutic products (LBPs), an emerging class of therapeutics based on live bacteria, are promising for treating these challenging conditions. Several topical LBPs have entered clinical trials for the skin and are quickly reporting positive data from early trials. Herein, a selection of these clinical trials are analyzed to highlight the potential of topical LBPs and provide insights into their identification and development. In addition, the outstanding challenges that need to be addressed for the full translation of these LBPs into clinical therapeutics are commented. In doing so, an overview of the existing formulation landscape for microbial‐based topical products, including direct‐to‐consumer probiotics, is provided. Once the outstanding formulation and delivery challenges are addressed for LBPs and the first topical LBPs reach the market, they will be a promising modality that provides novel therapeutic mechanisms for addressing previously difficult‐to‐treat conditions.

time scale for the Pleistocene ice age, and the ' post-glacial • period, the plant and animal remains supplying a key to climatic change.In the framework, established by these disciplines, are placed the discoveries of physical anthropol ogy , that branch of palaeontology which deals with fossil remains of ' man ', arch aeology, which deals with the surviving works of man's hand, and epigraphy, that branch of archaeol og y which in its widest sense deals with written records, and their.contents.A primary question which must be decided.in connection with , the prehistoric period is whether or not the ' man ' of prehistorians is to be identified with ' man ' in the Biblical sense.. The material which probably has the greatest direct relevance to .these chapters is the epigraphic, and as written records can preserve matters much.earlier than their actual writing down, the inscriptions need not be limited in this context to those dating from the early period.In fact the well-known ' creation ' and • flood ' tablets are mainly preserved to us in late recensions.The principal material of• this nature is found in the Sumerian and Akkadian cuneiform records of Mesopotamia, and to a lesser extent in the hieroglyphic and hieratic literature of Egypt.The relevant Akkadian inscriptions have been very adequately dealt with recently by the late Dr. Alexander Heidel of Chicago (The Gilgamesh Epic and Old Testament Parallels, 2nd ed.(Chicago, 1949); The Babylonian Genesis, 2nd ed. .(Chicago, 1951).),but a large amount of Sumerian literature has recently been published, particularly by Professor S. N. Kramer of Philadelphia, and as it contains elements, such as a flood story, which clearly lie behind some of the Akkadian versions, it is necessary to examine it in the present connection. .Thus the examination of Genesis i-xi involves a careful study of the Hebrew text; a decision as to its intention, historical or poetic; a survey of the results of archaeology from the appearance of man to the second millennium B.C.; an examination of the Sumerian and Akkadian legends relevant to Genesis; and finally a synthesis of this material, consistent with a high view of the inspiration and authority of Scripture.
Linear optimal transport embedding: provable Wasserstein classification for certain rigid transformations and perturbations

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Discriminating between distributions is an important problem in a number of scientific fields. This motivated the introduction of Linear Optimal Transportation (LOT), which embeds the space of distributions into an $L^2$-space. The transform is defined by computing the optimal transport of each distribution to a fixed reference distribution and has a number of benefits when it comes to speed of computation and to determining classification boundaries. In this paper, we characterize a number of settings in which LOT embeds families of distributions into a space in which they are linearly separable. This is true in arbitrary dimension, and for families of distributions generated through perturbations of shifts and scalings of a fixed distribution. We also prove conditions under which the $L^2$ distance of the LOT embedding between two distributions in arbitrary dimension is nearly isometric to Wasserstein-2 distance between those distributions. This is of significant computational benefit, as one must only compute $N$ optimal transport maps to define the $N^2$ pairwise distances between $N$ distributions. We demonstrate the benefits of LOT on a number of distribution classification problems.

Liability of a Surgeon for the Extension of an Authorized Operation

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

LEGAL MEDICINE which defines the liability of a physician for malpractice, 1 grounded as it is in the principles of negligence, 2 is always in a necessary conformity with the prevailing medical standards of due care. 3 Less responsive to the developments of modern medicine, however, are the rules of law that define the liability of a physician for a technical battery.The problem is typically raised when a surgeon exceeds the anticipated scope of an authorized operation; and the issue is uniformly resolved in terms of whether or not the circumstances gave rise to an "implied consent" to the extension.'The early common law rigorously required the patient's actual consent to any extension; 0 but, with the advent of anesthetics, 7 the courts recast the 'See, generally,

Combinatorics of $γ$-structures

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we study canonical $γ$-structures, a class of RNA pseudoknot structures that plays a key role in the context of polynomial time folding of RNA pseudoknot structures. A $γ$-structure is composed by specific building blocks, that have topological genus less than or equal to $γ$, where composition means concatenation and nesting of such blocks. Our main result is the derivation of the generating function of $γ$-structures via symbolic enumeration using so called irreducible shadows. We furthermore recursively compute the generating polynomials of irreducible shadows of genus $\le γ$. $γ$-structures are constructed via $γ$-matchings. For $1\le γ\le 10$, we compute Puiseux-expansions at the unique, dominant singularities, allowing us to derive simple asymptotic formulas for the number of $γ$-structures.

A grouped beta process model for multivariate resting‐state EEG microstate analysis on twins

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract EEG microstate analysis investigates the collection of distinct temporal blocks that characterize the electrical activity of the brain. Brain activity within each microstate is stable, but activity switches rapidly between different microstates in a nonrandom way. We propose a Bayesian nonparametric model that concurrently estimates the number of microstates and their underlying behaviour. We use a Markov switching vector autoregressive (VAR) framework, where a hidden Markov model (HMM) controls the nonrandom state switching dynamics of the EEG activity and a VAR model defines the behaviour of all time points within a given state. We analyze the resting‐state EEG data from twin pairs collected through the Minnesota Twin Family Study, consisting of 70 epochs per participant, where each epoch corresponds to 2 s of EEG data. We fit our model at the twin pair level, sharing information within epochs from the same participant and within epochs from the same twin pair. We capture within twin‐pair similarity, using an Indian buffet process, to consider an infinite library of microstates, allowing each participant to select a finite number of states from this library. The state spaces of highly similar twins may completely overlap while dissimilar twins could select distinct state spaces. In this way, our Bayesian nonparametric model defines a sparse set of states that describe the EEG data. All epochs from a single participant use the same set of states and are assumed to adhere to the same state switching dynamics in the HMM model, enforcing within‐participant similarity.
Effect of physical aging on dielectric, thermal and mechanical properties of cast-epoxy insulators

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Samples of cast bisphenol-A and cycloaliphatic epoxy insulation were quenched from a temperature above T/sub g/ (170/spl deg/C) to room temperature. Variations in dielectric, thermal and mechanical properties were examined during subsequent sub-T/sub g/ annealing (physical aging). It was found that the impact strength of the epoxy insulation decreased considerably with physical aging. Moisture intake and subsequent dielectric loss at room temperature were also found to decrease with physical aging. Glass transition temperature and excess enthalpy measured by DSC demonstrated significant increase with increased sub-T/sub g/ annealing. On the other hand, dielectric properties showed different changing patterns during sub-T/sub g/ annealing in different epoxy systems. It is concluded that epoxy insulating materials should be properly annealed before assessing their dielectric and other physical properties because of the possibility of unknown rapid cooling histories.< >
Moving Through Back Pain

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Erin Hewit, R.N. vividly remembers when her debilitating back pain began. In March, 1981, while trying to prevent the fall of a heavy patient, she wrenched her back. That moment marked the beginning of her four-year search for pain relief. After her orthopedist took x-rays and a CAT scan, he diagnosed her problem as a herniated disc. But when she refused to have a myelogram, a dye-injected x-ray of the spinal column, he announced there was nothing more he could do for her and sent her to a physical therapist. After four months of back exercises, hot packs, and traction, Hewit felt a little better, but every time she tried to return to her normal activities, she'd be laid flat with a relapse.
An Optical WDM ATM Switch Based on the Parallel Reservation Scheme

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A scaleable optical asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch using a combination of wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) and space-division multiplexed (SDM) interconnection network has been shown by other researchers to be able to achieve near 100 % throughput but the delay is worse than that of an input-queued switch for low loads, and is significantly inferior to that of an output-queued switch for high loads. Another drawback is the difficult hardware implementation if it to support non-uniform traffic. In this paper, we propose a modified ATM switch also based on the combination of WDM/ SDM but it can largely overcome the disadvantages suffered by the existing switch. Our scheme requires simple hardware implementation and offers two different modified switching architectures, one based on fixed tuned optical filters and the other on tunable optical filters. The performances of these architectures are studied by simulation. Under a non-uniform and highly bursty input traffic, both attain near 100% throughput and average delays similar to that of an output-queued switch. The former architecture is simpler to implement but the latter yields a slightly lower delay and supports more nodes given the same number of wavelengths in the switch.
IgG4 Levels in Bile for Distinguishing IgG4-Associated Cholangiopathy from Other Biliary Disorders

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-associated cholangiopathy (IAC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disease characterized by IgG4-positive lymphoplasmocytic infiltration of the biliary tract. On cholangiography, IAC may mimic primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), or pancreatic cancer. Our aim is to investigate whether IgG4 levels in bile aspirated during ERCP can be of use to distinguish IAC from PSC, CCA, and pancreatic cancer. Methods: Bile was directly aspirated from the common bile duct during ERCP in patients with IAC prior to start of steroid therapy. As controls, bile was also obtained from patients with PSC, CCA, pancreatic cancer, and benign biliary conditions (sphincter of oddi dysfunction/choledocholithiasis). Results: Biliary IgG4 levels were measured in 54 patients. The median bile IgG4 levels were markedly elevated in patients with IAC (5.5 mg/dl (interquartile range [IQR] 5.1, 15.6)) compared with patients with benign biliary conditions (0 mg/dl (IQR 0, 0.1); p=0.02). The median biliary IgG4 levels in PSC, CCA and pancreatic cancer patients were 1.2 (IQR 0.2, 3.8), 0.9 (IQR 0.2, 3.4) and 0.2 (IQR 0.1, 0.8) respectively. A cut-off value of 3.8 mg/dl distinguished IAC from PSC and CCA patients with a 100% and 76.9% sensitivity and specificity respectively. (Figure 1) Four PSC patients and 2 CCA patients had bile IgG4 levels above 3.8 mg/dl.FigureConclusion: This pilot study suggests that measurement of biliary IgG4 levels may have clinical value in distinguishing patients with IAC from certain biliary disorders that can mimic IAC. Larger studies are needed to better determine the clinical role of biliary IgG4 level measurements.
Continuous-infusion cisplatin and bolus 5-fluorouracil in colorectal carcinoma.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Twenty-one evaluable patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma were treated with a combination of continuous-infusion cisplatin (25 mg/m2/day X 3 days) and bolus 5-fluorouracil (400 mg/m2/day X 3 days). Toxicity was minimal. Seven patients (33%) responded. All responses were observed among the 16 previously untreated patients (44%) and lasted a median of 30 weeks. The results indicate the need for phase III trials of this treatment.
Reliability Demonstration Test Planning for Field Load Spectra – an Approach for Identifying the Optimal Test Parameters Considering Individual Cost and Time Constraints

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Over the past decades, product development cycles have become shorter and shorter, with reliability requirements increasing while budgets for testing have decreased. To select a test that makes the best use of resources (cost and time) for reliability requirement with a sufficient level of confidence, a simulation is performed. In previous work by Herzig et al. [3] and Grundler et al. [4] the concept of Probability of Test Success $\left(P_{t s}\right)$ introduced by Dazer et al. [1] was applied. To improve the applicability of the test planning procedure, a load spectrum rather than a single field load level is now to be evaluated. This is necessary because many products are not subjected to a single field load, but to fluctuating conditions that have natural causes such as the seasons, time of day or individual users. Finally, a case study is evaluated for individual parameters of a test scenario to minimize test time and cost while maximizing $P_{t s}$.
Structure of nematode communities in nine types of ecosystems

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nematode communities were analyzed in nine ecosystems: winter wheat in crop rotation – standard tillage; winter wheat in crop rotation – reduced tillage; corn in monoculture; sugar beat; potato – chemical plant protection; potato – integrated plant protection; alfalfa; grassland; poplar forest. Sampling was done in 1997 and 1998, in spring and autumn, on the depth of 15-20 cm. Nematode communities were analyzed to genus level. Greatest number of nematodes and number of genera were 2843 nematodes/100 g of soil in alfalfa treatment, and 30 genera in poplar treatment. Lowest was in row crops (216 and 12 genera in sugar beat). Analyzes of nematode trophic structure showed greatest abundance of bacterial feeders and plant parasitic nematodes in all treatments, and lowest abundance of omnivorous nematodes and predators. The greatest abundance of predators was determined in poplar forest. Positive correlation between quantity of humus and total number of nematodes was determined and negative correlation between amount of K20 and number of genera. Statistically very significant differences occurred between treatments in analyzing MI, PPI and PPI/MI and showed the most disturbed nematode communities in row crops, the less disturbed in poplar forest, grassland and alfalfa; and intermediate group was wheat with reduced and standard tillage.
