Genitourinary tuberculosis: A profile of 55 in-patients

Objective: To outline the pattern and trends in major cases of genito-urinary tuberculosis (GUTB) which require hospital treatment.Method: We retrospectively reviewed 55 patients with proven GUTB who were treated as in-patients in a major referral hospital in Pakistan.Results: The male/female ratio was 3:1. Prevailing symptoms were lower urinary tract symptoms, flank pain, gross hematuria and fever. A urine culture was positive for tuberculosis (TB) in 57%, bladder biopsies in 54%. For renal TB, intravenous urogram (IVU) and ultrasound were suggestive in about 50% of cases. Ultrasound was very helpful in the diagnosis of testicular TB. Patients underwent surgery in 36% of cases. In contrast to the general trend reported worldwide, surgery was mainly ablative rather than re-constructive. Patient compliance in clinical follow-up and drug therapy was poor.Conclusion: Surgery for GUTB in Pakistan is still mainly ablative, probably due to a high number of complicated and progressed cases. To date, therapy of GUTB is mainly based on anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy (ATT). However, huge efforts will be required to improve patient compliance without which every therapeutic approach will remain futile

Efektivitas Penerapan Bayar Pascapanen pada Pengembalian Pembiayaan Akad Murabahah Pertanian Padi di Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil AS Salam, Kramat, Demak

Agricultural crops greatly depends on the season, since the time of land preparation to harvest. Planting delays due to lack of capital, will result in crop failure or low crop productivity. Islamic microfinance institutions, such as BMT, offersmurabaha financing as one of financing options. Application of murabahais generally followed by monthly installment payments. The condition of most farmers doesn\u27t enable them to have enough income due to pay the main installments with a monthly period. Postharvest payment return system is an alternativemain return of financing. The research result showed the factors that influence farmers in choosing the monthly payment system and postharvest margins on murabaharice farming financing in BMT As Salam, Kramat, Demak using binary logistic regression. The analysis result showed the reason for choosing the payment system significantly influenced rice farmers choice. The chance of postharvest payment is acceptableaccording to the ability of most farmers. The effectiveness of postharvest payment return implementationonmurabaha rice farming financing was measured using a Likert scale. The results showed that postharvest paymentimplementation has been effective in all stages of financing and made a positive impact on farm members

Smart Growbox Design with Temperature and Humidity Monitoring System Via the Internet

Pada tahun 2015, dengan perkiraan populasi 255 juta orang, Indonesia membutuhkan lahan seluas 13,38 juta hektar. Artinya, dalam beberapa tahun kedepan, Indonesia akan mengalami krisis lahan pertanian sehingga Indonesia dituntut untuk meningkatkan total areal budidaya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh meningkatnya perkembangan industri dan jasa, sehingga pertanian konvensional kurang kompetitif karena tingginya harga tanah. Salah satu pengembangan teknologi pertanian pertanian disebarkan teknologi budidaya pertanian yang layak dengan teknologi smart growbox memberikan alternatif bagi mereka yang tidak memiliki lahan untuk pertanian. Desain smartbox dengan sistem pemantauan suhu dan kelembaban melalui internet telah dirancang, dengan menggunakan sensor suhu dan kelembaban (DHT22) serta sensor kelembaban tanah (FC-28), maka kondisi tanaman dan lingkungannya akan mudah dipantau oleh melihat nilai output dari sebuah sensor. Hasil pengujian kecepatan rata - rata respon manual control via perangkat berbasis web adalah 5 detik. Kontrol kecepatan respon secara manual tergantung pada lalu lintas jaringan dan kondisi jaringan. Sistem siap untuk digunakan

Outcome of home mechanical ventilation

OBJECTIVE: To determine the outcome of patients discharged home on portable ventilator. DESIGN: Descriptive study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi from January 2000 to December 2004. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All ventilator-dependent patients discharged home were contacted. Survivors were administered the EQ-5D Quality-of-Life instrument. SPSS version 13 was used to analyze data. RESULTS: Eleven patients were discharged home on invasive ventilation. Mean age was 49 years (range 10-98 years). Cause of ventilatory failure were cervical spine trauma in 36%, primary neurological disease in 27%, critical illness neuropathy and respiratory failure in 18% each. Survival rate was 73%, with three deaths. Mean duration of ventilation was 9.45 months (95% CI 3.24, 15.67). Rate of successful weaning after discharge was 36%, with 4 patients off all forms of ventilatory support and 2 on only nocturnal support. A 2.8 (95% CI 0.5, 16.6) relative risk towards successful weaning was associated with the presence of a family member as the primary care giver. Mean scores on the EQ-5D descriptive tool were; mobility 2 (-/+0.82), self-care 2 (-/+0.82), usual activities 1.86 (-/+0.69), pain/discomfort 1.43(-/+0.79), anxiety/depression 1.29 (-/+0.76). Mean score on the EQ-VAS was 48.2(-/+ 27.3). CONCLUSION: In carefully selected patients, home ventilation is a viable option with the expectation of successful weaning and survival. Patients discharged home on ventilation reported a reasonably good quality of life with proportionately more problems related to independence compared to overall well-being

Breast cancer image classification using pattern-based Hyper Conceptual Sampling method

The increase in biomedical data has given rise to the need for developing data sampling techniques. With the emergence of big data and the rise of popularity of data science, sampling or reduction techniques have been assistive to significantly hasten the data analytics process. Intuitively, without sampling techniques, it would be difficult to efficiently extract useful patterns from a large dataset. However, by using sampling techniques, data analysis can effectively be performed on huge datasets, to produce a relatively small portion of data, which extracts the most representative objects from the original dataset. However, to reach effective conclusions and predictions, the samples should preserve the data behavior. In this paper, we propose a unique data sampling technique which exploits the notion of formal concept analysis. Machine learning experiments are performed on the resulting sample to evaluate quality, and the performance of our method is compared with another sampling technique proposed in the literature. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and competitiveness of the proposed approach in terms of sample size and quality, as determined by accuracy and the F1-measure. 2018This contribution was made possible by NPRP-07-794-1-145 grant from the Qatar National Research Fund (a member of Qatar foundation).

Electron Spin for Classical Information Processing: A Brief Survey of Spin-Based Logic Devices, Gates and Circuits

In electronics, information has been traditionally stored, processed and communicated using an electron's charge. This paradigm is increasingly turning out to be energy-inefficient, because movement of charge within an information-processing device invariably causes current flow and an associated dissipation. Replacing charge with the "spin" of an electron to encode information may eliminate much of this dissipation and lead to more energy-efficient "green electronics". This realization has spurred significant research in spintronic devices and circuits where spin either directly acts as the physical variable for hosting information or augments the role of charge. In this review article, we discuss and elucidate some of these ideas, and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Many of them can potentially reduce energy dissipation significantly, but unfortunately are error-prone and unreliable. Moreover, there are serious obstacles to their technological implementation that may be difficult to overcome in the near term. This review addresses three constructs: (1) single devices or binary switches that can be constituents of Boolean logic gates for digital information processing, (2) complete gates that are capable of performing specific Boolean logic operations, and (3) combinational circuits or architectures (equivalent to many gates working in unison) that are capable of performing universal computation.Comment: Topical Revie
