Activity Tracker Wrist Band for Children Monitoring using IOT

Today in present world of digital technology and global computing every person is connected with each other in number of ways. In current global computing world, the children and women harassment, chain snatchings, kidnapping, sexual harassments, eve teasing, etc. are increased day-by day, becoming more unsafe and helpless. When these perilous situations occur there must be a trending technology to be comfortable to handle. So we are proposing a system that works on the controversy of children using IOT. In this project we proposed a device which is integrated with multiple devices, comprising of wearable “Activity Tracker Wrist Band” which is programmed with all the required data which includes the behavior of the human reactions like anger, anxiety, nervousness and fear. When these situations are faced by the victim, the various sensors generate the emergency signals which are to be transmitted to the smart phone. The system effectively monitors the children presence within the expected zone. When the person crosses the monitoring zone, then based on IOT Monitoring system, GSM sends help request by sending messages to the nearest police station, parents and the people in the near radius

Modular prevention of heart disease following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) [ISRCTN42984084]

BACKGROUND: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Australia and it is recommended that all persons with unstable angina (UA) or myocardial infarction (MI) participate in secondary prevention as offered in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs. However, the majority of patients do not access standard CR and have higher baseline coronary risk and poorer knowledge of CHD than those persons due to commence CR. The objective of this study is to investigate whether a modular guided self-choice approach to secondary prevention improves coronary risk profile and knowledge in patients who do not access standard CR. METHODS/DESIGN: This randomised controlled trial with one year follow-up will be conducted at a tertiary referral hospital. Participants eligible for but not accessing standard CR will be randomly allocated to either a modular or conventional care group. Modular care will involve participation in individualised modules that involve choice, goal-setting and coaching. Conventional care will involve ongoing heart disease management as directed by the participant's doctors. Both modular and conventional groups will be compared with a contemporary reference group of patients attending CR. Outcomes include measured modifiable risk factors, relative heart disease risk and knowledge of risk factors. DISCUSSION: We present the rationale and design of a randomised controlled trial testing a modular approachfor the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease following acute coronary syndrome

XELOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) as first-line treatment for elderly patients over 70 years of age with advanced colorectal cancer

The purpose of this phase II trial was to determine the efficacy and safety of the XELOX (capecitabine/oxaliplatin) regimen as first-line therapy in the elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC). A total of 50 patients with MCRC aged ⩾70 years received oxaliplatin 130 mg m−2 on day 1 followed by oral capecitabine 1000 mg m−2 twice daily on days 1–14 every 3 weeks. Patients with creatinine clearance 30–50 ml min−1 received a reduced dose of capecitabine (750 mg m−2 twice daily). By intent-to-treat analysis, the overall response rate was 36% (95% CI, 28–49%), with three (6%) complete and 15 (30%) partial responses. In total, 18 patients (36%) had stable disease and 14 (28%) progressed. The median times to disease progression and overall survival were 5.8 months (95% CI, 3.9–7.8 months) and 13.2 months (95% CI, 7.6–16.9 months), respectively. Capecitabine was well tolerated: grade 3/4 adverse events were observed in 14 (28%) patients: 11 (22%) diarrhoea, eight (16%) asthenia, seven (14%) nausea/vomiting, three (6%) neutropenia, three (6%) thrombocytopenia, and two (4%) hand–foot syndrome. There was one treatment-related death from diarrhoea and sepsis. In conclusion, XELOX is well tolerated in elderly patients, with respectable efficacy and a meaningful clinical benefit response. Given its ease of administration compared with combinations of oxaliplatin with 5-FU/LV, it represents a good therapeutic option in the elderly

Preparation and Properties of Water Repellent Polystyrene-TiO2 Coatings

Recently, there has been a great demand for hydrophobic (contact angle >90o) and super-hydrophobic surfaces (contact angle >150o) in industry for a variety of applications due to their easy to clean nature. In the present study efforts have been made to prepare hydrophobic polymer nanocomposite coatings containing titania nanoparticles. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) powders have been prepared by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods and have been characterized by X-ray diffractometry, field emission scanning electron microcopy (FESEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The Raman and XRD studies confirm the presence of anatase titania for the hydrothermal synthesized and commercial titania powders. Titania derived from precipitation technique contains 68% rutile titania. Polymer based nanocomposite coatings have been prepared using polystyrene (PS) as the matrix and titania nanopowders as the dispersed phase. The obtained coatings have been characterized for contact angle and microstructure. Of the three sources of TiO2 used hydrothermal TiO2 gives higher contact angle values. Heating the THF-PS-TiO2 solution to a temperature of 50o-60oC helps in increasing the water contact angle (WCA). The FESEM images of PS-TiO2 coatings reveal microstructure akin to the fibers produced by electro-spinning method. The X-ray mapping pattern of PS-TiO2 confirm the presence of carbon (polystyrene) and titanium elements. Even a small amount (0.03 g) of hydrothermal titania with 0.7 g of polystyrene gives a WCA as high as 149.77o which is close to the WCA of super hydrophobic range
