Reducing overall delay in MULTI-RADIO WOBAN with least per node processing overhead on data packet

Wireless-Optical Broadband Access Network (WOBAN) is a hybrid network technology. The back-End of the WOBAN being optical has very high performance both in terms of speed and bandwidth. There has been lot of research and numbers of protocols were designed and numerous algorithms have been proposed to bring the performance of the Front-End at par with that of the optical part. So in this paper too, we propose a technique to upgrade the performance of the wireless part so that there may be lesser processing on the actual data packet and may move smoothly across the nodes in the wireless part of WOBAN. Also when the data packet reaches the Optical Network Unit (ONU), it may be forwarded as soon as it reaches the ONU without having to wait for the designated time slot. In this way, there will be no time slot synchronization delay at ONU

COVID-19 impact on hematological and biochemical parameters on outcomes of admitted patients

COVID-19 an ongoing pandemic has high transmission and mortality rate gets the attention of researchers to focus on the disease. The burden of disease on the health care system focuses on the COVID-19 impacts on the hematological and biochemical parameters. This study aimed to focus on the laboratory indicators that fluctuate in COVID-19. The single-center cross-sectional study in the pathology department of POF hospital Wah Cantt from August 2021 to December 2021. Three hundred positive COVID-19 patients were included in the study. About 138 (46%) were males and 162 (54%) females and the mean age was 58 ± 15.06 (range 5 – 86). The biochemical indicator raised in COVID-19 included CPK (191.25 ± 507.39), CRP (68.81 ± 70.95), LDH (429.48 ± 246.96), and ALT (46.50 ± 43.23). In hematological parameters, only neutrophils elevated (70.00 ± 13.52) lymphocytes decreased. Laboratory parameters measured were similar values in recovered and death cases. The findings suggest the raised level of CRP, LDH, CPK, ALT, ferritin, D-Dimer, and neutrophils predict early diagnosis and prompt treatment
