    A common complication of diabetes is impaired wound healing. Systemic Mentha piperita and Cymbopogan citratus essential  oil improves healing in diabetics, which is dose dependent, and may have side effects. There is a very less information regarding topical Mentha piperita and Cymbopogan citratus use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of topical Mentha piperita and Cymbopogan citratus oil on wound healing.  Diabetes was induced in wistar rats by using streptozotocin. The control group comprised age-matched animals not submitted to streptozotocin injection. Diabetic state was confirmed by glycosuria and hyperglycemia. Under tribromoethanol anesthesia, Diabetic induced infected wound treatment with topical Mentha piperita ointment treatment and their another essential ointment in Cymbopogan citratus wound contraction studies a circular piece 08 mm2 in area 20th days compared wound healing study on  the  wound  contraction  studies a circular piece 08mm2 in area 18th days  highly effective in Mentha piperita ointment.  Then non diabetic wound healing control on the  wound  contraction  studies  a  circular piece 07 mm2 in area12th days, complete wound healing activity  and diabetic wound   control compared with diabetic  infected wound treatment Mentha piperita ointment  with  highly effective  wound healing activity histological, histometric and stereological methods were used for the analysis. Topical Mentha piperita   and Cymbopogan citratus accelerated wound closure in diabetic and non-diabetic rats and the results were found to be more active than antibiotic treated controls. Topical Mentha piperita   and Cymbopogan citratus could be helpful in diabetics, in order to improve the wound healing process avoiding possible adverse effects from systemic medication. All the values are statistically significant.

    Predicting the difficulty of multiple choice questions in a high-stakes medical exam

    Predicting the construct-relevant difficulty of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) has the potential to reduce cost while maintaining the quality of high-stakes exams. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the difficulty of MCQs from a high-stakes medical exam, where all questions were deliberately written to a common reading level. To accomplish this, we extract a large number of linguistic features and embedding types, as well as features quantifying the difficulty of the items for an automatic question-answering system. The results show that the proposed approach outperforms various baselines with a statistically significant difference. Best results were achieved when using the full feature set, where embeddings had the highest predictive power, followed by linguistic features. An ablation study of the various types of linguistic features suggested that information from all levels of linguistic processing contributes to predicting item difficulty, with features related to semantic ambiguity and the psycholinguistic properties of words having a slightly higher importance. Owing to its generic nature, the presented approach has the potential to generalize over other exams containing MCQs

    Understanding complex dynamics by means of an associated Riemann surface

    Get PDF
    We provide an example of how the complex dynamics of a recently introduced model can be understood via a detailed analysis of its associated Riemann surface. Thanks to this geometric description an explicit formula for the period of the orbits can be derived, which is shown to depend on the initial data and the continued fraction expansion of a simple ratio of the coupling constants of the problem. For rational values of this ratio and generic values of the initial data, all orbits are periodic and the system is isochronous. For irrational values of the ratio, there exist periodic and quasi-periodic orbits for different initial data. Moreover, the dependence of the period on the initial data shows a rich behavior and initial data can always be found such the period is arbitrarily high.Comment: 25 pages, 14 figures, typed in AMS-LaTe

    This paper is presented as a review of ten years collection of the D. nasuta complex from the Asian region by Dr. Wharton B. Mather. It incorporates the analysis of chromosomal polymorphisms with regard to their geographical distribution and then uses the polymorphisms to establish phylogenetic relationships between D. sulfurigaster albostrigata, D. albomicans and D. kohkoa
