Resting-state fMRI: comparing default mode network connectivity between normal and low auditory working memory groups

The relationship between resting effective connectivity (EC) among default mode network (DMN) regions and auditory working memory (AWM) performance is still poorly understood. In this work, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) was used to determine the optimum connectivity model between posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in 40 healthy male volunteers. in low and normal working memory groups of subjects. Correlation between EC with AWM performance and AWM-capacity was also studied. The participants were divided into two groups which are normal and low AWM-capacity groups based on Malay Version Auditory Verbal Learning Test. The AWM performance was assessed using a word-based backward recall task. Both assessments were conducted outside the MRI scanner. The participants were scanned using a 3-T MRI system and the data were analyzed using statistical parametric mapping (SPM12) and spectral Dynamic Causal Modelling (spDCM). Results revealed that PCC and mPFC were significantly interconnected in both groups. Group analyses showed that the connection between PCC and mPFC exhibits an anti-correlated network. The results also indicated that the AWM performance and AWM-capacity were not associated with EC. These findings suggest that EC at rest between the two regions may not significantly influence cognitive abilities important for this AWM task

Visual detection of biofouling using hue-saturation-value (HSV) colour for ship hull cleaning robot

To achieve optimum fuel efficiency, ships typically undergo inspections and hull cleaning. Professional divers do the vast majority of the activities and services whilst having difficulties such as cloudy vision. Thus, having a visual detection that able to detect biofoulings is a good practice in determining biofouling location on ship surface. The project's objective is to create an automated object monitoring system to help robots with their work. By adapting Hue Saturation Value (HSV) colour model, detection of biofouling can be made via adjusting the colour scheme of an image. The studies' findings include tethered communication between multiple controllers and components, joystickcontrolled actuators operation, object recognition using the HSV colour model, and actuator behaviour in response to sensor input

Low intensity white noise improves performing in auditory working memory taks: an FMRI study

Research suggests that white noise may facilitate auditory working memory performance via stochastic resonance. Stochastic resonance is quantified by plotting cognitive performance as a function of noise intensity. The plot would appear as an inverted U-curve, that is, a moderate noise is beneficial for performance whereas too low and too much noise attenuates performance. However, knowledge about the optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) needed for stochastic resonance to occur in the brain, particularly in the neural network of auditory working memory, is limited and demand further investigation. In the present study, we extended previous works on the impact of white noise on auditory working memory performance by including multiple background noise levels to map out the inverted U-curve for the stochastic resonance. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), twenty healthy young adults performed a word-based backward recall span task under four signal-to-noise ratio conditions: 15, 10, 5, and 0-dB SNR. Group results show significant behavioral improvement and increased activation in frontal cortices, primary auditory cortices, and anterior cingulate cortex in all noise conditions, except at 0-dB SNR, which decreases activation and performance. When plotted as a function of signal-to-noise ratio, behavioral and fMRI data exhibited a noise-benefit inverted U-shaped curve. Additionally, a significant positive correlation was found between the activity of the right superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and performance in 5- dB SNR. The predicted phenomenon of SR on auditory working memory performance is confirmed. Findings from this study suggest that the optimal signal-to-noise ratio to enhance auditory working memory performance is within 10 to 5-dB SNR and that the right SFG may be a strategic structure involved in enhancement of auditory working memory performance

Biomonitoring of Malaysian aquatic environments: A review of status and prospects

Anthropogenic stressors are reported to be the major drivers of aquatic pollution all over the world. Combating aquatic pollution requires adequate monitoring and inventorying mechanisms, and biomonitoring with the help of bioindicator organisms can be regarded as a sensitive tool for the evaluation of the biological and ecological significance of aquatic pollution. Bioaccumulation, biochemical alterations, morphological and behavioural approaches, population and community level approaches, and in vitro toxicity tests of aquatic organisms are all common techniques employed in biomonitoring of aquatic environments. In this review, the body of literature dealing with the pollution via biomonitoring in Malaysian aquatic ecosystems is discussed. It is evident from the study that, in Malaysia, biomonitoring by bioaccumulation received more attention than other biomonitoring techniques. Aquatic ecotoxicological research studies are very limited in east Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak), when compared to west (Peninsular) Malaysia. The potential applications of biomonitoring and its relevance for the Malaysian aquatic ecosystems are discussed. Recommendations for future improvements in the Malaysian aquatic pollution biomonitoring are also made

Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

Background Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P < 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)
