Towards Identifying Performance Anomalies

AbstractLarge-scale-software systems (LSSs) are composed of hundreds of subsystems that interact with each other in an unforeseen and complex ways. The operators of these LSSs strictly monitor thousands of metrics (performance counters) to quickly identify performance anomalies before a catastrophe. The existing monitoring tools and methodologies have not kept in pace with the rapid growth and inherit complexity of these LSSs; hence are ineffective in assisting practitioners to effectively pinpoint performance anomalies. We propose a methodology that uses entropy analysis to assist practitioners/operators of LSSs in quickly detecting underlying anomalies in the system. Our performance tests conducted on an open source benchmark system reveal that the proposed methodology is robust in pinpointing anomalies, do not require any domain knowledge to operate, and avoid information overload on practitioners

Synthesis, identification and anticonvulsant activity of dehydrozingerone

The present study aimed to synthesize and characterize dehydrozingerone as well as to investigate its anticonvulsant activity in experimental animals.  A simple method was used to synthesize dehydrozingerone using vanillin and acetone. The synthesized drug dehydrozingerone was characterized using thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and physicochemical tests.The synthesized product was  tested for its potential anticonvulsant activity using maximum electroshock (MES) induced seizure models in rats. The synthesized dehydrozingerone showed TLC profile, FT IR spectra and HPLC chromatogram similar to the authentic sample. The physicochemical characters (colour, taste, flavour, solubility and melting point) were also similar to what was found in the literature. All these results indicated that the produced product was dehydrozingerone. A dose dependent anticonvulsant activity was produced by dehydrozingerone. Eighty percent anti-MES activity was presented by 100 mg/kg.  The findings indicated that dehydrozingerone represents a bioactive molecule possessing anticonvulsant activity. In addition, it is an easily synthesized compound from cheap starting materials. In conclusion dehydrozingerone may find its place as antiepileptic agent if further clinical studies will be conducted

Tele-Screening, Triaging of Dental Patients, and Reopening of Dental Services During SAR-CoV2 Pandemic

Background: The nature of dental profession requires a dentist to be in a close proximity to the patient’s mouth to perform various operative treatments including procedures such as generating aerosols. As such, dentistry is considered as one of the riskiest profession for the cross-transmission of SARS-CoV2. Although the prevalence and incidence of SARS-CoV2 continue to increase worldwide; the dental services and treatment of non-emergency cases have resumed in many countries including Sudan. Moreover, the use of smartphone technology in communication with patients can play an important role in controlling the spread of SARS-CoV2. Therefore, the aim of this short review was to draw a summary on using smartphone technology for telescreening dental patients prior to their visit to the clinics and to set guidelines and rules for dental treatment during SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Methods:  For the purpose of this study, telescreening is referred as a virtual contact between patients and healthcare personnel used to provide health services during the highly contiguous SARS-CoV2 pandemic. Using a smartphone, dental patients can be screened and questioned about their medical history and particularly for SARS-CoV2 (for symptoms such as fever, headache, coughing, breath shortness, loss of smell or taste). They should also be asked about their travel history to epidemic area, visiting hospital or coming in contact with a confirmed SARS-CoV2 patient during the last 14 days. On arrival to a dental clinic, the patient's temperature should be measured, instruction for wearing masks, hand hygiene, and keeping distances from others inside the waiting zone. Conclusion: Telescreening and triaging will minimize the time of patients’ exposure to dental clinic environments, hence decreasing the risk of getting SARS-CoV2 infection for both patients and dental healthcare workers.  Keywords: COVID-19, dentistry, procedure generating aerosols, smartphone, social distance, surgical masks

CLINICAL HYPOGLYCEMIC EFFECTS OF ALLIUM CEPA (RED ONION) IN TYPE 2 DIABETIC PATIENTS

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus results from defects in insulin secretion and/or insulin action or both. Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the hypoglycemic effects of Allium cepa in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.   Results: In type 2 diabetic patients (n=21) the administration of crude Allium cepa (100g) markedly reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 40 mg/dl 4 hours later, compared to glibenclamide (81 mg/dl). Also Allium cepa significantly reduced the induced hyperglycemia (GTT) after ingestion of 75 grams dextrose by 159 mg/dl in the test subgroup (n=7) of type 2 diabetic patients to a point below that produced in the negative control group after 4 hours. Conclusion: Crude Allium cepa produced hypoglycemic effects, thus it could be used as a dietary supplement in management of diabetes

Investigation of Anti-nociceptive Activity of Neem (Azadirachta indica) A. Juss on Acetic Acid Induced Writhing in Rats

Background: Plants represent the principal means of therapy in traditional medicine and the plant kingdom has long served as a prolific source of useful drugs. Objective: This study was undertaken to investigate the anti-nociceptive activity of Azadirachta indica A.juss leaf extract in experimental animals.   Methods: Three doses of methanolic extract of Azadirachta indica leaf (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) to  investigate their potential antinociceptive activity using acetic acid induced writhing in rats compared to morphine and diclofenac sodium as standard drugs.   Results: The methanolic extract of indica at a dose of 400 mg/kg produced 72.01% protection against writhing induced by acetic acid. This result points to approximately equal protection exhibited by 25mg/kg diclofenac sodium. Co-administration of indica (400 mg/kg) and diclofenac (25 mg/kg) produced 100% protection as diclofenac sodium (50mg/kg) and morphine (2.5, 5 mg/kg). Conclusion and recommendation: On the basis of results obtained, the use of indica leaf extract as antinociceptive seems to be promising. Bioassay guided fractionation of the methanolic extract of indica leaf is recommended for safety and efficacious use. Further work on determination of active ingredient(s) and mechanism of action is also needed

Investigation of anti -nociceptive activity of Zingabeel (Zingiber officinale) on acetic acid induced writhing in rats

This study was carried out to test for antinociceptive effect of the methanolic extract of ginger using acetic acid induced writhing in rats and compared to morphine and diclofenac sodium as standard drugs. The methanolic extract of ginger, showed dose dependent responses whereas 50 and 100mg/kg produced 100%protection against writhing  induced  by  acetic acid (0.6 %  i.p.) .  This protection supersedes the effect of diclofenac sodium (25, 50 and 75 mg/kg). On the other hand morphine (2.5- 10 mg/kg), exhibited 100% protection against writhing induced by acetic acid. Therefore we can conclude and recommend that, ginger is a potential source of new and effective anti-nociceptive agent(s). Bioassay guided fractionation for the methanolic extract of ginger should be investigated for the determination of active ingredient(s), and to elucidate their mechanism of action.  الخلاصة: أجريت هذ الدراسة  لإختبار تأثيرالخلاصة الميثانولية  للزنجبيل كمسكن للألم باستخدام حمض الاستيك الذي يحفز الانقباضات ألبطنيه المسببة للألم ومقارنته بالمورفين و الدايكلوفيناك صوديوم  كأدوية مرجعية. أظهر  المستخلص الميثانولي للزنجبيل إستجابات إعتمادا على  الجرعات حيث إنه في الجرعات  50 و 100مجم/كجم نتجت حماية بنسبة 100% ضد الانقباضات المسببة  بواسطة حمض الأسيتيك (0,6%)˛ حيث يعتبر أفضل تأثيرا من الدايكلوفيناك صوديوم (25، 50، 75مجم/كجم) ومن ناحية أخرى فإن المورفين (2.5 -10 مجم/كج) قد أعطى حماية بنسبة 100% ضد الانقباضات المسببه بواسطة حمض الأسيتيك.  لذا نستنتج   ونوصي بأن الزنجبيل مصدر متوقع  جديد فعال كمسكن للآلام. كما نوصي  بأن تجرى الاختبارات الحيوية الموجهه للتجزئة للزنجبيل لتحديد المادة الفعالة و توضيح آلية عملها.    &nbsp
