The current cross-sectional study evaluated the effect of different variables, such as age, gender, pregnancy, underlying diseases, total body surface area (TBSA), burning degree, the burned member, motivation, addiction, inhalation injury, admission to the intensive care unit, intubation, initial fluid therapy, simultaneous trauma, the time elapsed from the burning to admission, and the name of referring center (if the patient was referred) on the treatment response. The current prospective study evaluated all patients hospitalized in Shahid Motahari Burn Hospital of Tehran, Iran, from Sep. 2014 for four months, due to severe burning. Hence, a checklist was completed for each patient. To evaluate the effect of the mentioned variables the univariate logistic regression was employed for statistical analysis. Four hundred-fifty-two patients were admitted to the hospital for burning within the four months period of the study. In the current study, the rate of mortality was 14.18%. Mortality was independently related to the inhalation injury (aOR: 11.6, P < 0.001), burning degree (aOR: 1.7, P = 0.006), TBSA (aOR: 1.1, P < 0.001) and age (aOR: 1.1, P < 0.001). Values are significant at P < 0.05. It is important to consider inhalation injury, burning degree, TBSA, and age of the patient in rapid evaluations. To reduce burning events, it is necessary to teach educational and preventing programs for the general public. It is also recommended to design and implement retraining programs regarding handling the patients with burning injuries for the medical staff.","PeriodicalId":119340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biology and Today`s World","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129073566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Burden of the disease, lifelong confrontation with a complex disease with no cure and the need for continuous care lead to chronic stress in patients and their caregivers. Mindfulness stress reduction, as a novel psycho intervention method, might be helpful in MS patients to reduce this chronic stress. A group of female patients diagnosed with definite MS (According to MC Donald criteria 2010 by a neurologist) were randomized to either an immediate MBSR program (n=12) or waitlist (n=12). The intervention consisted of a weekly MBSR group lasting 2.5 hours for 8 weeks plus a 6 hours retreat. Patients completed questionnaires preand postintervention or waitlist period. Preliminary analysis revealed that there was no significant improvement in physical symptoms and mental health (p>0.05). However, a significant improvement was observed in patients' quality of life (p>0.05).

Computer-aided diagnosis and detection of Aneurysms via Segmentation algorithms is a complex and multi-faceted issue in medical image processing, as adjoining vessels are the high-intensity structures whereas aneurysms are of low contrast and intensity. Obviously, segmentation is essential to identify the disease severity by change monitoring and also to know further Haemo-dynamic situation in critical cases. Change detection and further analysis gives the complete picture of the case of interest. For Brain tumor detection and analysis, there are several segmentation algorithms but only few are suitable for aneurysm detection and analysis. There is a necessity to provide an efficient segmentation model for aneurysm analysis, change detection and delineation which overcomes the limitations on speed and accuracy of other models. The objective of this paper is to first, apply local binary fitting (LBF), chan-vese (CV) models to aneurysm analysis. Then perform Region based Aneurysm Segmentation model frame work on data sheets of MR Angiography of brain. It is a perfect level set based Active contour model which converges in short span without requirement of any stability and termination criterions. The key feature of this model is that delineation is independent of choice of mask dimensions.

This investigation is most vital in logical research for development of life; it is a measure of impressions among creatures. It is important during examination that is required in process of arranging scattered information. Due to the expansion of more information in the field of proteomics, the computational biology algorithms should be extremely productive and near to accuracy. The inference of expansive and precise phylogenetic trees has expanded in most recent couple of years. Early methodologies for phylogenetic derivation depended on single processor PCs. Nonetheless, for expansive number of taxa, it is not feasible to utilize single processor. This represents a test for more proficient and adaptable calculations that utilizates parallel and conveyed processing for phylogenetic surmising. In this research paper, a new algorithm ClusPhylo based on clusters is introduced for large datasets. The proposed algorithms upgrades tree development issue by partitioning input arrangement into groups builds beginning sub-trees from arrangements of clusters and consolidations sub-trees into a solitary tree by additive methodology. ClusPhylo is implemented on Apache Spark. The execution of calculation as far as conclusive log probability qualities and execution time is contrasted with understood calculations. The outcome comes about demonstrating that the proposed calculation is computationally effective, delivers better probability values and is versatile on fluctuating number of processors too.","PeriodicalId":119340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biology and Today`s World","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127091091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The blood concentrations of various trace elements, such as copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo), are altered in diabetes mellitus, which may have a significant role in the pathogenesis and progress of this disease. This study was aimed to evaluate the levels of copper and molybdenum concentrations in diabetic patients and healthy subjects. A total of 87 patients with type 2 diabetes and 45 participants with normal blood glucose were included in this study. The blood levels of Cu and Mo concentrations were measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-AAS). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 19.0 software. Biochemical factors were compared using student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed a significant increase in mean Cu level in diabetic patients (394.11 ± 10.08) compared to healthy subjects (134.34 ± 3.66), however a significant decrease was found in mean Mo level in diabetic patients (8.41 ± 0.141) compared to healthy subjects (16.45 ± 0.72). Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the concentrations of each element with diabetes. The study indicates that type 2 diabetes can alter the blood levels of copper and molybdenum. The results of this study confirmed that the level of copper in diabetic patients is higher than healthy subjects, and that the level of molybdenum in diabetic patients is lower than that of healthy subjects. In addition, increasing or decreasing the copper concentration has no significant effect on the concentration of molybdenum in diabetic patients, meaning that there is no significant correlation between the two variables in diabetic patients.","PeriodicalId":119340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biology and Today`s World","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129627010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
