Correlation of Streamflow and Sediment Concentration at Upstream and Downstream Padang Watershed

Sediment concentration affected b streamflow at river body. This research was conducted to study correlation between streamflow and sediment concentration at upstream and downstream Padang watershed on July until December 2013. The research was conducted by using survey method at two outlet of Padang watershed were Padang sub watershed and Padang Hilir sub watershed. Sampling of water at two (2) outlets were conducted at stream surface by using depth intergrating suspended sediment sampler technique at three (3) points of river body. Sampling waters conducted at two times that were after rainand no rain. Sediment concentration (Cs) calculated by Cs = (G2 – G1) / V equation. Streamflow (Q) calculated by multiplying velocity and wide of river by Q = A x V equation. The results showed that no correlation between streamflow and sediment concentration at upstream when no rain (Cs = 0,0007 +0,0412 Q; R2 = 0,43) and at downstream when no rain (Cs = 0,0002 Q + 0,07157; R2 = 0,057). There were correlation between streamflow and sediment concentration at upstream after rain (Cs = 0,00041 Q +0,0611; R2 = 0,88) and at downstream after rain (Cs = 0,00015 Q + 0,03293; R2 = 0,9)

Global Retinoblastoma Presentation and Analysis by National Income Level.

Importance: Early diagnosis of retinoblastoma, the most common intraocular cancer, can save both a child's life and vision. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that many children across the world are diagnosed late. To our knowledge, the clinical presentation of retinoblastoma has never been assessed on a global scale. Objectives: To report the retinoblastoma stage at diagnosis in patients across the world during a single year, to investigate associations between clinical variables and national income level, and to investigate risk factors for advanced disease at diagnosis. Design, Setting, and Participants: A total of 278 retinoblastoma treatment centers were recruited from June 2017 through December 2018 to participate in a cross-sectional analysis of treatment-naive patients with retinoblastoma who were diagnosed in 2017. Main Outcomes and Measures: Age at presentation, proportion of familial history of retinoblastoma, and tumor stage and metastasis. Results: The cohort included 4351 new patients from 153 countries; the median age at diagnosis was 30.5 (interquartile range, 18.3-45.9) months, and 1976 patients (45.4%) were female. Most patients (n = 3685 [84.7%]) were from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Globally, the most common indication for referral was leukocoria (n = 2638 [62.8%]), followed by strabismus (n = 429 [10.2%]) and proptosis (n = 309 [7.4%]). Patients from high-income countries (HICs) were diagnosed at a median age of 14.1 months, with 656 of 666 (98.5%) patients having intraocular retinoblastoma and 2 (0.3%) having metastasis. Patients from low-income countries were diagnosed at a median age of 30.5 months, with 256 of 521 (49.1%) having extraocular retinoblastoma and 94 of 498 (18.9%) having metastasis. Lower national income level was associated with older presentation age, higher proportion of locally advanced disease and distant metastasis, and smaller proportion of familial history of retinoblastoma. Advanced disease at diagnosis was more common in LMICs even after adjusting for age (odds ratio for low-income countries vs upper-middle-income countries and HICs, 17.92 [95% CI, 12.94-24.80], and for lower-middle-income countries vs upper-middle-income countries and HICs, 5.74 [95% CI, 4.30-7.68]). Conclusions and Relevance: This study is estimated to have included more than half of all new retinoblastoma cases worldwide in 2017. Children from LMICs, where the main global retinoblastoma burden lies, presented at an older age with more advanced disease and demonstrated a smaller proportion of familial history of retinoblastoma, likely because many do not reach a childbearing age. Given that retinoblastoma is curable, these data are concerning and mandate intervention at national and international levels. Further studies are needed to investigate factors, other than age at presentation, that may be associated with advanced disease in LMICs

Effects of Anacetrapib in Patients with Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease

BACKGROUND: Patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease remain at high risk for cardiovascular events despite effective statin-based treatment of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. The inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) by anacetrapib reduces LDL cholesterol levels and increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. However, trials of other CETP inhibitors have shown neutral or adverse effects on cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 30,449 adults with atherosclerotic vascular disease who were receiving intensive atorvastatin therapy and who had a mean LDL cholesterol level of 61 mg per deciliter (1.58 mmol per liter), a mean non-HDL cholesterol level of 92 mg per deciliter (2.38 mmol per liter), and a mean HDL cholesterol level of 40 mg per deciliter (1.03 mmol per liter). The patients were assigned to receive either 100 mg of anacetrapib once daily (15,225 patients) or matching placebo (15,224 patients). The primary outcome was the first major coronary event, a composite of coronary death, myocardial infarction, or coronary revascularization. RESULTS: During the median follow-up period of 4.1 years, the primary outcome occurred in significantly fewer patients in the anacetrapib group than in the placebo group (1640 of 15,225 patients [10.8%] vs. 1803 of 15,224 patients [11.8%]; rate ratio, 0.91; 95% confidence interval, 0.85 to 0.97; P=0.004). The relative difference in risk was similar across multiple prespecified subgroups. At the trial midpoint, the mean level of HDL cholesterol was higher by 43 mg per deciliter (1.12 mmol per liter) in the anacetrapib group than in the placebo group (a relative difference of 104%), and the mean level of non-HDL cholesterol was lower by 17 mg per deciliter (0.44 mmol per liter), a relative difference of -18%. There were no significant between-group differences in the risk of death, cancer, or other serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease who were receiving intensive statin therapy, the use of anacetrapib resulted in a lower incidence of major coronary events than the use of placebo.

Analysing the viability of carbon capture and storage technology via SWOT/PESTLE analysis: case study in Malaysia

Malaysia is one of the highest energy-related CO2 emitters among the South-East Asian countries, with the biggest contribution comes from the energy sector. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is one of the promising technologies to mitigate this anthropogenic greenhouse gases (i.e., CO2) emission. Present work explores the viability of CCS technology via the strength-weaknesses-opportunities-threats (SWOT) and politic-environment-social-technical-legal-economy (PESTLE) analyses approach on the commercialization potential in coal-fired power plant at Mukah, Sarawak, Malaysia. Based on the analyses, in term of political, economic, social, and legal aspect, establishing CCS plant in Malaysia has strong internal and external influence. Whereas implementation of CCS technology in Sarawak could attract the international investment, enhance economic growth and job creation. Moreover, technological advantage of CCS that can be retrofitted with existing power plant features value added in term of technology and economic merits. Despite of the global development of CCS technology and its ability to reduce up to 50-90% of coal power plant emission, this technology is susceptible to have higher energy penalty and electricity drop which decreases its efficiency as well as the plant efficiency. One should take note that this analysis was based on academic and grey literatures. Where, validation from the experts and industrial point of view are required to support the shorthand evaluation of this work
