Model Support Vector Machine Berbasis Particle Swarm Optimization Untuk Prediksi Penyakit Liver

Hati adalah organ yang paling besar dan penting bagi tubuh kita. Kita tidak bisa hidup tanpa hati. Penyakit hati merupakan peradangan yang disebabkan oleh infeksi virus, bakteri atau bahan-bahan beracun sehingga hati tidak dapat melakukan fungsinya dengan baik serta tidak mudah ditemukan dalam tahap awal dalam mendiagnosis penyakit hati. Penanganan pasien dengan penyakit hati pada tahap awal akan memperpanjang hidup pasien. Banyak penelitian menggunakan model Support Vector Machine untuk memprediksi penyakit hati tetapi nilai akurasi yang dihasilkan kurang akurat. Dalam penelitian yang dilakukan ini model algoritma support vector machine dan model algoritma support vector machine berbasiskan particle swarm optimization untuk mendapatkan aturan untuk memprediksi penyakit liver dan memberikan nilai yang lebih akurat dari akurasi. Setelah pengujian dengan dua model support vector machine dan support vector machine berbasiskan particle swarm optimization, mendapatkan hasil dari model algoritma support vector machine nilai akurasinya 71,36% dan nilai akurasi dari AUC sebesar 0.500, sedangkan pengujian menggunakan algoritma suppport vector machine berbasiskan particle swarm optimization mendapatkan hasil nilai akurasinya sebesar 77,36% dan nilai AUC 0.661 untuk tingkat diagnosa klasifikasi yang baik. Kedua metode ini memiliki berbagai tingkat akurasi sebanyak 6,00% dan selisih nilai AUC 0.16

Bilinorm administration combined with Phototherapy in the management of neonatal jaundice: a hospital based clinical trial

Background: Neonatal jaundice (NJ) is a common problem worldwide and frequent in Iraq . Several reports were published on prevalence, distribution, causes and treatment of NJ.This clinical trial was carried out to demonstrate the effect of combinations of Castrol oil, riboflavin and magnesium in mechanical elimination of bilirubin after enhancing hepatic excretion by phototherapy. Patients & methods: This clinical trial included a total of 61 significantly jaundiced neonates who were admitted to the special care baby unit of Children Welfare Teaching Hospital, medical city complex, Baghdad, Iraq, during the period June 1st to Dec.31st 2007. Phototherapy was applied alone in 30 neonates (group 1) and phototherapy with Bilinorm in 31 neonates (group 2),(Bilinorm oral gel constituted of riboflavin sodium phosphate, magnesium oxide and castor oil). Student’s t test was used to examine the differences in variables between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in body weight, age of onset of jaundice, age on admission, and TSB on admission (p =0.9,0.4, 0.4, 0.4, respectively). A significant difference in total decrease in TSB was noticed between group II (7.2 ± 2.4) and group I (5.9 ± 1.8)(p = 0.02). Days of hospitalization were significantly lower in group II (2.4 ± 0.8 days) than in group I (3.3 ± 1.5 days) (p = 0.009), and hours of phototherapy were significantly lower in group II (47.4 ± 19.7 hours) than in group I (66.8 ± 27.4 hours) (p= 0.002). Conclusions: There was a statistically significant difference regarding total decrease in TSB, days of hospitalization and hours of phototherapy when both Bilinorm and phototherapy were used than when phototherapy was used alone. So mechanical elimination of bilirubin from intestinal lumen may enhance the effect of phototherapy

Death rates and causes among admitted neonates in Children Welfare Teaching Hospital – Medical city –Baghdad (2000- 2004)

Background: The neonatal deaths account for two-third of all deaths in the first year of life, and 40% of under-five mortality. Extreme prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome , neonatal infections , and congenital malformations are among the common causes of neonatal deaths. Methods: We retrospectively studied 668 neonates who died over 5 years period from first of Jan. 2000 to the end of Dec. 2004 in neonatal care unit of children Welfare Teaching Hospital-medical city, by obtaining data from reviewing their medical records and death certificates. Results: The death rate in neonates admitted to SCBU (special Care baby Unit) during the period of study was (10.7%), male constituted 432 (64.7%) and female 236 (35.3%) with male to female ratio 1.8:1. The major causes of death were congenital malformations (41.6%), neonatal infections (33.4%),and prematurity (10.3%). Conclusions: There was no decline in the neonatal death rate in our hospital especially from sepsis and prematurity and low birth weight. Death due to late onset sepsis was lower than that due to early onset sepsis .There was a significant increase in the death from congenital malformations

THE POSSIBLE CARDIOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FRACTIONS OF ARTICHOKE EXTRACTS AGAINST 5-FU INDUCED CARDIOTOXICITY IN ALBINO RATS

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of ethyl acetate and methanolartichoke extracts(Cynara scolymus L.) against 5-Flurouracil (5-FU) induced cardiotoxicity in rats.Methods: Thirty-six albino rats were divided randomly and equallyin to six groups (each group with 6 rats): I, negative control, received (2 ml/kg/d)of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) orally for 30 successive d; II, positive control, received (2 ml/kg/d) of (DMSO) orally for 30 successive d, and subsequently administered a single dose of 5-FU (150 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection on 27thd in assossiation with DSMO; III and V, received (200 mg/kg/d) of oral methanol and ethyl acetate artichoke extracts respectivelyfor 30 successive d; V and VI, received(200 mg/kg/d) of oral methanol and ethyl acetate artichoke extracts respectively for 30 successive d,with a subsequently received single dose of 5-FU (150 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection on 27th d of the experiment.Results: Prophylactic treatment of ethyl acetate and methanol artichoke extracts significantly attenuates the increased level of serum cardiac troponin T (CTn-T) and tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-a)caused by 5-FU-induced cardiotoxicity in experimental albino rats while it increases the serum level of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC).Conclusion: Results of the present study suggest that methanol and ethyl acetate artichoke extracts may be an effective modulator in mitigating 5-FU induced cardiotoxicity.Â

Neonatal Birth Traumas: Risk factors and types

Background: Birth trauma is defined as injury to neonates resulting from mechanical forces (such as compression or traction) during the process of birth. Birth injury is used to denote avoidable and unavoidable mechanical and hypoxic- ischemic injury incurred by neonates during labor and delivery. Maternal, labor and infant factors can predispose to birth traumas. Many types of birth traumas can be found including intra and extra cranial, spinal, peripheral nerves, fractures and visceral. Patients and methods: A cross sectional study was done on 200 babies (100 babies for the study group and 100 babies for the control group), admitted to special care baby unit of Baghdad Teaching Hospital, during the period between 1st of October 2007 to the 30th of March 2008. Results: There was an increased percentage of birth trauma in preterm babies, large birth weight, mothers who were primigravida, had history of contracted pelvis, diabetes mellitus, prolong second stage of labor, abnormal fetal presentation, and shoulder dystocia. Trauma of cranium was the most common type of birth trauma, of which caput succedaneum (68%) was the most common one. Conclusions: Birth trauma is still a significant problem in this maternity ward causing some morbidity. The significant risk factors were macrosomia, prematurity and multiple pregnancies, primigravida, chronic maternal illness like diabetes mellitus, history of pelvic anomalies or contracted pelvis, prolonged labor especially the second stage, abnormal fetal presentation and shoulder dystocia. So we recommend assessment of the fetal weight, mother pelvis capacity and presentation before delivery, so that macrosomic fetus might be delivered by cesarean section, and prevent premature delivery, and better use of investigations like ultrasound,x-ray,CT scan for early diagnosis and further management of birth trauma

Investigation of water sorption and aluminum releases from high viscosity and resin modified glass ionomer

High viscosity glass ionomer cement (HVGIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) have recently been clinically preferred thanks to their numerous advantages. However, initial moisture contamination has a negative effect on the mechanical and physical properties of these cements. The aim of this study was in vitro of HVGICs and RMGICs, with and without surface protection, on water sorption, solubility and release of aluminum. In this study, as HVGICs; Equia Forte, IonoStar Plus, Riva Self Cure; as RMCIS, Ionolux and Riva Light Cure; and as control, Z250 universal composite was used. Equia coat, Voco varnish and Riva coat were chosen as surface protective. Water sorption and solubility levels of the samples were measured according to ISO 4049:2009. Al levels released from samples were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS) for 7, 14 and 21 days. Statistical evaluation of the results was made using one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and Tukey post-hoc test (p<0.05). RMGICs from restorative materials showed more water absorption than HVGICs, but no differences in solubility. Among the materials tested, the water absorption values of the HVGIC and RMGIC materials without surface protection were higher than those with the surface protection (p<0.001). It was determined that the Al release of HVGIC and RMGIC groups with the surface protection were lower in all time periods than the groups without surface protection (p<0.001). The application of surface protection effectively reduced water sorption and Al release from HVGICs and RMGICs

Immersive competence and immersive literacy: Exploring how users learn about immersive experiences

While immersive experiences mediated through near-eye displays are still a relatively immature medium, there are millions of consumer devices in use. The level of awareness of the forms of the interface and media will vary enormously across the potential audience. Users might own personal devices or might encounter immersive systems in various venues. We introduce the term immersive competence to refer to the general practical knowledge and skills that users accumulate about how typical immersive interfaces work—the ways in which buttons are used, main locomotion techniques, etc. We then introduce the term immersive literacy to refer to awareness of how immersive interfaces are unique, when they might be appropriate, typical forms of media, etc. We sketch out how users develop competence and literacy with immersive media, and then highlight various open questions that are raised
