Purple Urine Bag Syndrome: A Case Report

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is an uncommon phenomenon reported mostly in chronically constipated, institutionalized females on an indwelling catheter. It can often cause tremendous distress among health care providers. Though the condition is generally described as benign, it should draw immediate attention to the possibility of an underlying urinary tract infection. The sequential chemical reactions involving tryptophan from food in the gut is hypothesized as the mechanism for the event. We present a case of this unusual and interesting phenomenon with a brief discussion on PUBS.Keywords: Purple urine bag syndrome; Tryptophan metabolism; Urinary tract infection, Indigo, Indirubin pigmen

Povidone iodine hookah therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses: A hypothesis we must test

Povidone – Iodine has been known to have strong bactericidal and virucidal properties for a long time. It has been in clinical use as an antiseptic agent for over fifty years. Now a new indication for this old drug is recommended as Hookah therapy. It is hypothesized that in this form it will be an effective therapeutic agent to kill the coronavirus (SARS-COV2) or significantly inhibit its multiplication to achieve a cure. Details of treatment and dosage form are presented

AIoT-Driven Edge Computing for Rural Small-Scale Poultry Farming: Smart Environmental Monitoring and Anomaly Detection for Enhanced Productivity

The growing demand for chicken production has emphasized the importance of maintaining optimal conditions to improve quality and productivity.The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things(IoT) is recommended for the efficient management of the farm's environment. A potential solution is presented in this paper, utilizing IoT-based sensor nodes with ARM Cortex M3 - LPC 1769 and LORA technology to monitor chicken farms across diverse regions.The proposed solution incorporates a low-cost edge computing server-Jetson Nano device equipped with a machine learning model to categorize and monitor live environmental conditions in poultry farms. Real-time data from various branches is collected and analyzed using machine learning classification techniques including logistic regression, K nearest neighbors, and support vector machines.The performance of these algorithms is compared to identify the most effective approach. Upon evaluation, the K nearest neighbors emerges as the superior performer, achieving an impressive accuracy of 99.72% and an execution duration of 0.087 seconds on the Jetson Nano edge computing device. This cost-effective technology is tailored for small businesses in regions where farmers can gain valuable insights from data-driven decisions and closely monitor their operations. By incorporating AIoT into farm management, the challenges faced by small-scale poultry farming can be addressed, empowering farmers with enlightened techniques to improve overall productivity and quality
