The recent development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled a significant technology that aids quick healthcare solutions through the use of smart wearables sensors. Indeed, undesirable events and network threats can appear in any physiological recording in Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSN), leading to a misdiagnosis. These events and threats are recognizable by experienced medical staff, thereby it is necessary to identify them before making any diagnosis. In this paper, a secure and energy efficient approach is proposed. For disease detection, our research provide insight into several physiological signals, including the ElectroCardioGram (ECG), ElectroMyoGram (EMG), and Blood Pressure (BP), where the security is achieved by the application of the Advanced Encryption Symmetric (AES) and the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA). Similarly, to obtain a reasonable range of reliability, a classification procedure based on supervised Machine Learning (ML) techniques is used. The simulation results proved the accuracy and sensitivity of the system by 97% and 92%, respectively by enhancing a high level of security. Moreover, a suitable prototype is developed for medical staff to ensure the applicability of our proposal.

Crocodiles have caused a relatively high number of fatalities towards local people in Sarawak, a Malaysian state in Borneo. However, they have important cultural values and are well respected by the riverine communities in the state. The objective of this study is to determine the patterns of human-crocodile conflict in Sarawak which could help in managing the problems between crocodile and human. Information on crocodile attacks were collected from multiple sources including records kept by local authority, media or CrocBITE database. Over a 21 years period (year 2000-2020), the record attacks (n=164) showed a balance between fatal and non-fatal cases. Most common victims in Sarawak were male (86.6%) and adults from the age of 31 to 40 years old (20.7%). The attacks occurred more during the daylight (59.4%), with the peak time for crocodile attacks was approximately between 1800 to 2359 hours (33.3%). Crocodile attacks occur slightly more during the wet season, from October to March (54.0%), with the highest one recorded in March (16.8%). Fishing (26.2%) and bathing (22.0%) in the rivers possess the highest risk of crocodile attack, suggesting that crocodiles are more likely to attack when the victim is in the water. The findings imply that crocodiles' attack pattern in Sarawak is associated with the people’s activities pattern. There is a need to update the database on crocodile attacks in Sarawak on -real time basis as this will facilitate the relevant agencies in formulating the strategies to reduce the number of crocodile attacks and ensuring the safety of the riverine communities.

This paper aims to find the best composition for adding salt to the manufacture of fermented mackerel (Restrelliger Branchysoma). The addition of salt in sufficient quantities can kill microbes or pathogenic bacteria but produce a taste that is too salty. This is one of the causes of the lack of public interest in consuming salted fish. The addition of acid solution and the addition of starter bacteria is an effort to reduce the salt content used, besides that it can grow a lot of fermented microbes. In this paper, the addition of salt and acid solution is carried out. The results obtained in this paper, making fermented mackerel using vinegar with a fermentation time of 14 days is the most effective treatment in producing fermented mackerel products. This fermented mackerel has an aroma that is liked and accepted by panelists and produces a distinctive, savory and not so salty taste.

The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of personalized metabolic support on the character of dehydration structuring of blood serum of qualified athletes. The study included 55 athletes with the category of cyclical sports. The random number test subjects were divided into 2 groups: the main group (n=23), where individualized metabolic correction was performed, and the comparison group (n=22), whose received placebo. Blood samples were obtained from athletes of both groups before the course and immediately after its completion. Then micro-preparations were prepared using the technology of classical crystalloscopy. Crystalloscopic facias were estimated with own system of visuamitric parameters. The study allowed us to establish that in qualified athletes, the course of taking biologically active agents, individualized on the basis of a multiparametric assessment of the state of oxidative metabolism of blood, contributed to the optimization of the crystallogenic properties of blood serum. This was manifested in the transformation of the structure of the main elements of the picture in the direction of reducing their size with a proportional increase in density, as well as in reducing the degree of destruction of crystals and expanding the marginal zone of the micropreparation.

Vibrio species is one of the pathogenic bacteria infecting shrimps in aquaculture farm has caused severe loss to the aquaculture farm. The aim of this research is to isolate and compare the presence of Vibrio spp. in commercialize shrimp farm during the stocking process and the final harvest phase of shrimp productions. Quantification and isolation were conducted and measured using Log CFU (colony forming units) counts and morphological investigation gram staining and conventional biochemical test identification. A total of sixty-four (n=64) sediment and water samples were collected from the inlet and outlet of the two selected shrimp ponds (Pond A and Pond B) in Kampung Telaga Air, Kuching, Sarawak. As a result, the bacteria count from water samples during stocking period at both shrimps ponnds were 6.6 Log CFU/ml and 5.6 Log CFU/ml while during harvesting period were 5.3 Log CFU/ml and 5.8 Log CFU/ml. Meanwhile, bacteria count sediments samples during stocking period at both shrimp ponds were 5.5 Log CFU/g and 5.7 Log CFU/g whereas harvesting period at showed both shrimps pond were 5.2 Log CFU/g and 4.8 Log CFU/g. The finding showed the Vibrio sp. identified in sediment samples were V. parahemolyticus with 27%, followed by V. alginolyticus (22%), V. cholerae (16%). V. fluvialis (14%) and 7% of V. fulmisi and V. vulnificus and V. mimicus. Meanwhile, the Vibrio sp. identified in water samples were V. fluvialis with 29%, followed by V. alginolyticus (22%), V. parahemolyticus (19%) and 10 % were V. fulmisi , V. mimicus and V. vulnificus. The study has been carried out further by investigated the Antibiotic Susceptibility Test (AST) using erythromycin (15 ug/ml), ampicillin (10 ug/ml), and streptomycin (25 ug/ml). The positive cultures from sediment samples showed Ampicillin resistant profile was > 0.2 MAR index while fifty percent (50%) of the isolates from water samples were resistant to ampicillin. Therefore, this study has profound implications for further monitoring process from the stocking process towards the harvesting process in order to prevent any Vibrio sp. infection which caused shrimp’s disease or food safety issue related to public consumption or of shrimps in future.

Although glibenclamide is an oral hypoglycemic agent used in type 2 diabetes, skeletal muscle wasting has been reported as a side effect. To understand how to reduce this side effect, we determined whether glibenclamide induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in skeletal muscle cells and which myokine expression changes at this time. The ER chaperone genes do not show a significant change by glibenclamide, but the ER stress sensor genes are upexpressed approximately twice, and those downstream [ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6) fragmentation, eIF2α (eukaryotic initiation factor-2α) phosphorylation, and XBP1 (Xbox DNA-binding protein) mRNA splicing] are activated. Additionally, the myokine gene expression was up- or downregulated by glibenclamide. These results will serve as useful data for overcoming the side effects of sarcopenia caused by glibenclamide.

Abstract-Introduction : The period of confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic has harmful consequences on the psychological state of parents and their children, especially those with psychological or neurocognitive problems. The care of these children plays a primordial role in their development, particularly during the COVID-19 period. For this reason, our objective is to assess the state of stress among mothers of children with learning disabilities during the COVID-19 period in Morocco, as well as the support of these children. Materials and methods : This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted during the period from April to June 2020. To realise it, we used a investigation form which contains three parts. To evaluate the state of stress in mothers, we used the "PSS10d" scale adapted to the Moroccan context. The target population is composed of mothers of children with learning disabilities who are being monitored by Moroccan Association for Learning Disorders and Difficulties (MALDD) in Casablanca. Results : During the period of confinement, only 13% (n=15) of mothers reported that their children "Dys" had benefited from remote remediation by specialists According to the Odds Ratio calculation, the risk factors influencing the care of "Dys" children during this period of confinement are: lack of cooperation from the child (Odds Ratio= 16.8; IC95%=[3.5-79]). 1]; P-value=0.001), the educational level of mothers (Odds Ratio= 9.4; IC95%=[2.4-35.7]; P-value=0.001), the economic situation (Odds Ratio= 5.1; IC95%=[1.5-17.4]; P-value=0.01) and technical problems (Odds Ratio= 5.1; IC95%=[1.5-17.4]; P-value=0.01). Conclusion : According to our results, we noticed that the psychological state of the mothers is influenced by the remote care of the "Dys" children. For this the responsible authorities in Morocco must support this population.

This study was used a mixture design to optimize the spreadability and viscosity of topical hair gel incorporates cocoa shell extract. The factor of the hair gel ingredient was thickener (0.2 – 0.8%), styling polymer A (2-5%), styling polymer B (2-6%), and solvent (84.63-91.63%) were studied on two responses selected spreadability and viscosity. The data collected were fitted to the model with high coefficient determination (R2= 0.994 for the spreadability and 0.9937 for the viscosity). The model can be predicted by showing the good lack of fit test result not significant with the p-value bigger than 0.05. From the ramp function simulation, the optimized formulation was selected and established at thickener (0.55%), styling polymer A (3.61%), styling polymer B (3.72%), and solvent (88.55%) with the spreadability and viscosity at 353.77 g.s and 39.91 pa.s respectively. The benefit of using mixture design in this experiment, it can help a formulator to understand the complex interaction between factors and can easily modify the formulation through ramp function simulation to obtain the desired result. The predicted validation test shows that both values were comparable. Under this condition showed that the model development could be used to predict future observations within the design range thickener (0.2 – 0.8%), styling polymer A (2-5%), styling polymer B (2-6%), and solvent (84.63-91.63%).

The model can be predicted by showing the good lack of fit test result not significant with the p-value bigger than 0.05. From the ramp function simulation, the optimized formulation was selected and established at thickener (0.55%), styling polymer A (3.61%), styling polymer B (3.72%), and solvent (88.55%) with the spreadability and viscosity at 353.77 g.s and 39.91 pa.s respectively. The benefit of using mixture design in this experiment, it can help a formulator to understand the complex interaction between factors and can easily modify the formulation through ramp function simulation to obtain the desired result. The predicted validation test shows that both values were comparable. Under this condition showed that the model development could be used to predict future observations within the design range thickener (0.2 – 0.8%), styling polymer A (2-5%), styling polymer B (2-6%), and solvent (84.63-91.63%).","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45738649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) is a standard treatment for kidney stones larger than 1.5 cm, with the placement of a nephrostomy drainage at the end of it, which is considered the standard procedure, but tubeless/ totally tubeless mPNL techniques reduce postoperative discomfort in patients and shorten hospital stays. The aim of article was to compare the efficacy and safety of our proposed modified method of totally tubeless mPNL with control of the parenchymal canal, with existing methods of tubeless/totally tubeless mPNL. Novelty of the study presented by modified method of totally tubeless mPNL. During the period from 2018 to 2020 we performed 486 mPNL were performed in our clinic in total, among which 63 (12.9%) patients underwent tubeless PNL. Patients whose surgeries ended with using tubeless techniques were divided into three groups: Group I – 22 patients who had tubeless mPNL (with ureteral stent), Group II (20 patients) – totally tubeless mPNL with a safety thread (the proposed procedure), Group III (21 patients) – totally tubeless mPNL. In all three groups, the access point was most often made through the lower group of renal calyces: Group I – 12 (54.5%), Group II – 14 (70.0%), Group III – 13 (61.9%); then through the middle calyx: Group I – 8 (36.4%), Group II – 6 (30.0%), Group III – 7 (33.3%); and the upper calyx: Group І – 2 (9.1%), Group ІІ – 0%, Group ІІІ – 1 (4.8%), no differences in the distribution of access points between groups were found (p=0.67). There were no differences in the distribution of tract sizes between the groups (p=0.95) with tract dilatation to 16.5/17.5 Fr was performed most often: Group I – 12 (54.5%), in Group II – 11 (55.0%) and Group III – 11 (52.4%). The mean duration of surgery in Group I was 83.0±22.9 min, in Group II – 74.9±13.6 min, in Group III – 72.6±12.0 min (p=0.47). This study confirms the high effectiveness of totally tubeless mPNL. The proposed modification to perform totally tubeless mPNL allows you to have permanent postoperative control over the parenchymal channel and in case of postoperative bleeding it enables you to immediately insert nephrostomy drainage through the safety thread. Study contributes to practical methods as an intermediate step for surgeons who are considering transition to a totally tubeless PCNL technique.

The novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in an overall increase in new cases of depression and burnout and exacerbation of existing mental health problems, with particular emotional and physical harm to healthcare workers. For this reason, the aim of this study is to assess occupational exhaustion and to determine its risk factors within this population during the period of COVID- 19. This is about a cross-sectional study that was conducted from March to June 2020. The target population was health professionals working in the various departments of COVID-19, in public hospitals in Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region of Morocco. To evaluate the burnout, we chose the French version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The average age of the participants was 42.8±7.4. The gender ratio was balanced at 1.1. Regarding professional status, 61% of the participants are nurses and 39% are doctors. The average professional seniority was 20±8.9 years. As shown in the figure below, the MBI revealed that: 80% (n=72) suffered from burnout, of which 49% (n=44) had a low level, 17% (n=15) had a moderate level and 14% (n=13) had a severe burnout. Unmarried status (Odds Ratio= 9.61; 95% IC= [0.19-2.13]; P-value=0.001); The protective measures unavailable to health professionals (Odds Ratio= 7.13; 95%IC=[2.32-21.89];P-value=0.001); dissatisfaction with the efforts made by the Ministry of Health to fight Covid-19 (Odds Ratio= 9.1; IC95%=[2.82-29.37]; P-value=0.001) are the most important risk factors. In light of these results, interventions to support the mental well-being of health care professionals during and after the COVID-19 period should be implemented immediate.
