Higgs Information and NMSSM at the Large Hadron Collider

Information theory has proven to be a worthwhile tool for investigating the implications of the Higgs sector in the Next-to-minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) using Higgs information at the Large Hadron Collider assessed through the entropy constructed by means of the branching ratios of decay channels of the Higgs boson. The present article focuses on the parameter space of supersymmetric extension with an extra term of gauge singlet in light of various experimental constraints. Our findings show the most preferred values of $m_0$, $m_{1/2}$, $A_0$, $tan\beta$, $\lambda$, $\mu_{eff}$, neutralino LSP $m_{\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}}$, lightest chargino $m_{\tilde\chi^{\pm}_{1}}$, singlino $m_{\tilde\chi^{0}_{5}}$, and gluino $m_{\tilde g}$ to be around 1.93 TeV, 1.78 TeV, $-$3.62 TeV, 27.5, 0.012, 665.7 GeV, 0.74 TeV, 0.79 TeV, 11.24 TeV, and 3.70 TeV, respectively, that is compatible with the relic density of dark matter.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figure

Higgs information in Split-SUSY at the LHC

Information theory turns out to be an interesting tool for studying the consequences of Higgs observations to various new physics candidate theories by means of the information measure as the entropy of Higgs-Boson through its various detection modes at the Large Hadron Collider. The present article investigates the parameter space of a supersymmetric scenario where sfermions and one of the Higgs superfields are decoupled, while the gauginos, Higgsinos, and the remaining Higgs doublet are still allowed to be lighter. Our analysis reveals that this is quite a viable choice in the light of LHC discovery of a Higgs which resembles the SM Higgs-Boson and nothing else so far. While the supersymmetry breaking scale $M_S$ could be as high as $10^{11}$ GeV or so, the most preferred values of the $M_{S}$ and $\tan\beta$ are found to be around 3.6$\times10^7$ GeV and $41$ respectively, which is also consistent with the relic abundance of the neutralino dark matter. The corresponding value of neutralino ($m_{\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}}$) LSP is estimated to be around 1.01 TeV. The preferred values of other parameters, namely, the Higgsino mass ($\mu$) and gaugino mass parameters ($M_1$ and $M_2$) are found to be about 1.05 TeV, 1.74 TeV, and 2.57 TeV, respectively.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, 3 table

Ischemic Stroke in Dengue Fever: Unusual Complication of a Common Disease

Dengue fever is an arboviral infection, which is highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates. It is frequently associated with neurological complications but its association with ischemic stroke is ill defined. We present a case of an apparently healthy young male admitted with dengue fever complicated by ischemic infarct in corpus callosum. Our patient was managed conservatively, improved clinically and discharged in satisfactory condition

Measuring Importance and Query Relevance in Toopic-Focused Multi-Document Summarization

The increasing complexity of summarization systems makes it difficult to analyze exactly which modules make a difference in performance. We carried out a principled comparison between the two most commonly used schemes for assigning importance to words in the context of query focused multi-document summarization: raw frequency (word probability) and log-likelihood ratio. We demonstrate that the advantages of log-likelihood ratio come from its known distributional properties which allow for the identification of a set of words that in its entirety defines the aboutness of the input. We also find that LLR is more suitable for query-focused summarization since, unlike raw frequency, it is more sensitive to the integration of the information need defined by the user

Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of Health Professionals Towards Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and Pharmacovigilance in a Tertiary Hospital of North India

Pharmacovigilance is a method of quick detection andreporting, of adverse drug reactions and adverse drug eventsafter drug is in clinical use, thus preventing major drug events.Ignorance of physicians in developing world, about reportingadverse drug reaction is a big roadblock to pharmacovigilance.This cascades into many problems e.g.; increased lab to clinicinterval, increased premarketing expense for newer drugs. Inquickly changing genomes scenario it leads to almost fataltherapeutic failures. The huge population of India and lack ofappropriate post marketing surveillance contribute towardsdisasters due to adverse drug reactions. With evolution ofpharmaceutical industry, the Indian doctors have gained wideknowledge of drugs but the area of adverse drug reactions stillremains neglected. Indian Government launched NationalPharmacovigilance Programme in 2004 to inculcate the cultureof Adverse Drug Reaction reporting among Indian healthprofessionals. Medical Council of India has also madePharmacovigilance Programme mandatory in every medicalcollege. Still the picture is disheartening. Motivated to improveAdverse Drug Event reporting in Chattrapati Shivaji SubhartiHospital, the present survey was conducted to find Knowledge,Attitude, Practices (KAP) of physicians, surgeons & nursesregarding Adverse Drug Reaction reporting.  India is emerging as a major hub of pharmaceuticalindustry. The Indian pharmaceutical market has flourishedwith the introduction of new drugs with the help of clinicalresearch. But, in the realm of this tremendous boom ofpharmaceuticals, the hazards due to adverse drug reactionsappear to have been ignored. Indian companies are among theworld leaders in the production of generics and vaccines –now producing more than 20% of the world’s generics. SinceIndian firms will be marketing products globally they willhave to fulfill the regulatory requirements of respectivecountries as well, post marketing surveillance of new drugsbeing one. But unfortunately ADR reporting is very low inIndia. This ugly situation can be improved by implementingadequate laws such as insurance against adverse drugreactions for general public, inclusion of pharmacovigilanceunder corporate social responsibility, encouraging regulatoryauthorities to take educative and publicizing role and byidentifying each and every component of a drug including theexcipients and preservatives while assessing the root cause ofparticular adverse drug event
