A Review on Impact Analysis of Accident Using AI

In recent years, road collisions have become a global problem and have been classified as the 10th leading cause of death in the world. Due to the large number of road losses consistently, it has become a major problem in Bangladesh. It is totally unacceptable and sad to allow a citizen to kill in a road accident. The purpose is to show you how to extract logical data from a raw database and visualize it. The results show that hourly planning, day-to-day intelligence, lunar intelligence and year-round planning allow you to look at how road accidents change over time. Two types of road accidents have oc-curred in particular, and data analysis of road accidents have led to conclusions that will help reduce the number of accidents

Assessment of prescribing trends for rational use of drugs

Background: Nowadays irrational use of drugs is a major problem inspite of extensive programs being carried out on rational use of medicines. Therefore, in present study we evaluated OPD prescriptions for rationality and their adherence to prescription format.Methods: A prospective, observational study was carried out in 511 outdoor patients for a period of three months. Quality of prescription writing was assessed for completeness of information and legibility. Rationality was analyzed using WHO core prescribing indicators.Results: Basic information of patient and name of department were written in all the prescriptions. Diagnosis was mentioned in 76.33% cases. Dosage forms, dose, frequency and duration of treatment were mentioned in 97.26%, 73%, 80.04% and 80.23% of prescriptions respectively. About 73.78% prescriptions were legible. Doctor’s name, signature and registration number were present in 80.82%, 82.97% and 15.66%. Total number of drugs in 511 cases was 1074. Average number of drugs/ prescriptions was 2.1±0.8. Drugs were prescribed by generic name in 25.14% cases; drugs from EDL were 57.36%. Antimicrobial agents, injectable drugs and FDCs were prescribed in 25.83%, 12.13% and 39.14% cases. The most commonly prescribed drugs were analgesics, GIT and cardiovascular drugs.Conclusions:This study shows possible areas of improvement in prescription practice that is generic prescribing, use of essential medicines, restraint in use of irrational fixed dose combinations and better quality of prescribing in terms of inclusiveness of information, legibility and doctor’s details.

Antioxidant mediated protective effect of Parthenium hysterophorus against oxidative damage using in vitro models

BACKGROUND: Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) is a common weed occurring throughout the globe. In traditional medicine its decoction has been used for treatment of many infectious and degenerative diseases. This work was therefore designed to assess the phytochemical constitution of P. hysterophorus flower and root extracts and to evaluate their reducing power, radical scavenging activity as well as protective efficacy against membrane lipid damage. METHODS: Dried flower and root samples were sequentially extracted with non-polar and polar solvents using Soxhlet apparatus. The phytochemical screening was done using standard chemical methods and thin layer chromatography. Total phenolic content was determined spectrophotometrically. Reducing power and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity assays were used to measure antioxidant activity. Protection against membrane damage was evaluated by inhibition of lipid peroxidation (TBARS assay) in rat kidney homogenate. RESULTS: Flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids and cardiac glycosides were present in all the extract. The total phenol contents in flower and root extracts were found to be in the range 86.69-320.17 mg propyl gallate equivalent (PGE)/g and 55.47-253.84 mg PGE/g, respectively. Comparatively better reducing power was observed in hexane fractions of flower (0.405) and root (0.282). Benzene extract of flower and ethyl acetate fraction of root accounted for appreciable hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (75-77%). Maximum protection against membrane lipid peroxidative damage among flower and root extracts was provided by ethanol (55.26%) and ethyl acetate (48.95%) fractions, respectively. Total phenolic content showed positive correlations with reducing power and lipid peroxidation inhibition (LPOI) % in floral extracts as well as with hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and LPOI % in root extracts. CONCLUSION: Study established that phytochemicals present in P. hysterophorus extracts have considerable antioxidant potential as well as lipo-protective activity against membrane damage

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the performance of the intramedullary tibia nailing system while treating the tibia fracture fixation.Methods: In this retrospective study, studied the results of intramedullary tibia nail in treatment of tibia fracture. A total of 25 consecutive patients were included in this study (11 male, 14 female and average age 42.9 years). Fracture type was classified as per the Muller AO classification of fracture.Results: The outcomes of clinical treatment were obtained in our study; no pain (92%), mild pain (8%) after 2 year follow up. The follow up of patients were taken on 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years according to visual analog scale (VAS) score. Paired t test was performed for statistical data analysis using minitab and values of p<0.05 were taken to indicate significant value with confidence interval of 95%. No implant related problem have been found like loosening, bending and corrosion.Conclusions: Our outcomes with interlocking cannulated and expert tibial interlocking nailing are empowering and exhibit the advantages of new nailing framework. It has been concluded that intramedullary tibia nailing system is best method for treatment of tibia fracture with good results and outcomes

Search for Lorentz-violation through sidereal effect at NO{\nu}A Experiment

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments offer a unique laboratory to test the fundamental Lorentz symmetry, which is heart of both the standard model of particle and general relativity theory. Deviations from the standard neutrino oscillation or the sidereal modulation in neutrino events will smoking-gun experimental signature of Lorentz and CPT violation. In this study, we investigate the impact of the sidereal effect on standard neutrino oscillation measurements within the context of the NO{\nu}A experiment. Additionally, we assess the sensitivity of the NO{\nu}A experiment to detect Lorentz-violating interactions, taking into account the sidereal effect. Furthermore, we highlight potential of the NO{\nu}A experiment to set the new constraints on anisotropic Lorentz-violating parameters

A Soft Computing Platform for Minimizing The Bullwhip Effect

An unmanaged supply chain is not inherently stable. The bullwhip effect occurs when the demand order variability’s in the supply chain are amplified as they moved up the supply chain. Distorted information from one end of a supply chain to the other can lead to tremendous inefficiencies. In this paper it is shown that if the members of the supply chain share information with intelligent support technology, and agree on better and better soft computing technique on future sales for the upcoming period, then the bullwhip effect can be significantly reduced. This paper emphasizes on fuzzy logic technique and discusses its effect on reducing bullwhip effect. It is shown that with the application of the fuzzy logic, the multi-objective problems converted to a single one, which can be easily solved with the proposed methodology. It is also shown that linguistic values can be determined to assess vendors’ characteristics, in order to address, in an accurate way

Clinical outcomes in the treatment of femoral fracture by using intramedullary femur nailing system

Background: Femoral fractures are frequently occurring fractures that are caused due to large force impaction. The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate the outcomes of treating femoral fractures with the use of the intramedullary femoral nailing system.Methods: This retrospective clinical trial consists of 32 patients with femoral fracture and are treated by using an intramedullary femoral nailing system which consists of retrograde femoral nail, gamma nails, expert femoral nail, universal intramedullary cannulated femoral nails that are manufactured by Auxein medical Pvt. Ltd. Sonipat, Haryana, India. There were 32 patients from two different hospitals i.e., first hospital group consist of 15 patients (8 male and 7 female) with mean age of 32 years and the second hospital group consist of 17 patients (9 male and 8 female). The fracture categorization was done on the basis of AO Classification of fracture and physical fitness was categorized by American society of anaesthesiologists. VAS score and HHS was used as a criterion for assessing the clinical outcomes of the patients.Results: There were 32 patients to whom surgery was performed and follow up time was 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. After the final follow up no patient in any group complaint about the complications or any hardware related problem, there were perfect bone union in every patient. Radiological outcomes also showed proper union at 6 months follow up.Conclusions: For femoral fractures, intramedullary femoral nail gives a better result with high union rate and post-operative composure

Use of amorphous TiO2 deposited on cotton by sol-gel process for de-colorization of direct dye solutions in presence of UV radiation

In this investigation, decolorization of a direct dye solution catalysed by TiO2 coated on a cotton fabric by sol- gel route in presence of UV radiation has been studied. Effect of various process and material parameters like initial dye solution concentration, treatment time and temperature, stirring rate and construction of fabric on dye decolorization extent has been studied. It is observed that with a starting dye solution concentration of 0.1 g/L, almost 80% dye removal can be achieved. It is not possible to improve the decolorization extent beyond 80% by any combination of parameters. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the form of TiO2 deposited on cotton fabric is not crystalline but amorphous in nature. While the UV radiation intensity and the fabric construction influence the dye decolorization, the treatment temperature and stirring rate do not have much bearing on decolorizing efficiency
