The types of data generally studied towards that end are vocal data, body movement data, eye movement data, handwriting and drawing patterns, etc. In this work, the use of a Deep Neural Network has been proposed which can predict the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) both motor and total by studying vocal data from UCI Machine Learning Repository. Both 2 layered as well as 3 layered networks were studied and it was found that the performance of 3-layer Deep Neural Network having 10, 20, 10 neurons in different layers was found to be the best with an accuracy of 97% and 99.62% for motor UPDRS and total UPDRS respectively. The other three parameters MSE, MAE and RMSE also showed improvement in the 3 layered model as compared to the 2 layered model.","PeriodicalId":73426,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biomedical engineering and clinical science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76016527","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}

Rational prescription is necessary in kidney disease patients. These patients are at higher risk of developing drug related problems since they need complex therapeutic regimens that include comorbid conditions like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease and infection that require frequent monitoring and dosage adjustment. Inappropriate use of medications can increase adverse drug effects, which can be reflected by excessive length of hospital stays, excessive health care utilization and cost. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to assess, evaluate and analyze the prescribing pattern of drugs in kidney disease and their dose adjustments in medicine and emergency department of tertiary care teaching hospital. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted for a period of 6 months. Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Ethical Committee of S C S College of Pharmacy, Harapanahalli. Collected data was analyzed to identify the current prescribing trend and dosage regimen in the management of renal failure patients and to know whether the prescribing rationality was obtained in Medicine and Emergency unit in hospital by using KDIGO guidelines. RESULTS: A total of 140 patients were enrolled in the study according to the inclusion criteria in which 104 were males and 36 were females. 134 CKD cases and 6 AKI cases were found. In the study, 105 (75%) patients were hypertensive, 62 (44.28%) patients were anemic, 54 (38.57%) patients were diabetic and dyslipidemia was associated with 21 (15%) patients. 87 patients were on hemodialysis. On the basis of ATC classification of drugs, cardiovascular system (35.7%) class of drugs was the commonly prescribed followed by drugs for alimentary tract and metabolism (25.97%), anti-infective (10.11%) and blood and blood forming agents (7.97%). Out of 1028 studied drugs, only 105 (10.21%) required dose adjustment where 76 (72.38%) were adjusted and 29 (27.61%) were not adjusted. CONCLUSION: This study illustrates the need for proper dose adjustment and drug utilization pattern in patients with renal failure. Appropriate dosing of antibiotics as well as other drugs, including narrow therapeutic drugs play a vital role in preventing dose related adverse reactions and toxicities. This study will provide an outline for management strategies and will influence the decision making process in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":73426,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biomedical engineering and clinical science","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87494512","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}

Given the strong familial and inherited predisposition to inflammatory bowel disease, it is assumed that changes in calprotectin levels are also influenced by familial predispositions. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the level of fecal calprotectin in patients and their first-degree relatives in order to determine the relationship between changes in this marker and its possible familial orientation. The study participants were the first-degree relatives (n = 100) of the patients (n = 33) with the definitive diagnosis of ulcerative colitis who referred to Rasoul-e-Akram hospital in 2018 and 2019. The fecal value of calprotectin was assessed using the ELISA method in both patients and the relatives. Fecal calprotectin level in patients was estimated to be 232.09±44.16μg/g. Fecal calprotectin level in the parents was 86.06±12.66μg/g, in siblings was 58.02±7.24μg/g and in the patient's children was 47.40±4.77μg/g. Fecal calprotectin levels were not affected by baseline indices such as gender, age, or BMI (either in patients or their relatives) and therefore these baseline factors had no effect on fecal calprotectin levels. Although fecal calprotectin levels are significantly longer in patients with ulcerative colitis than in healthy controls, the higher level of this marker among first-degree relatives of patients than healthy individuals also indicates the inherited tendency of changes in this marker in terms of high risk of disease in first-degree relatives of patients. These changes in fecal calprotectin levels will be independent of gender, age, and BMI","PeriodicalId":73426,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biomedical engineering and clinical science","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74410528","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}

For this study a total of 939 faecal samples (655 sheep and 284 goats) were collected directly from the rectum and examined based parasitological procedures. In this study an overall prevalence of helminthosis was 597 (63.6%) in small ruminants whereas 423 (64.6%) in sheep and 174 (61.3%) in goats harbor one or more GI helminthes parasites. Strongyles were the most prevalent parasites observed. The prevalence is higher in Moyale (70.8%), followed by 66%, 60.5%, and 47.1% in Yabello, Arero and Teltele respectively. The occurrence of helminthosis in the four districts was found statistically significant (P 0.05). Breed and Sex was also not significantly (P>0.05) associated with the occurrence of small ruminant helminthosis. The study indicates that helminthes parasites are the major constraints that affect productivity of small ruminant. Awareness creation to the pastoralists in the study area about the effect of small ruminant helminthosis and designing appropriate control methods has a paramount importance to improve the productivity of small ruminant.","PeriodicalId":73426,"journal":{"name":"International journal of biomedical engineering and clinical science","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73298059","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 design aspect of the exoskeleton includes various sensor systems, mechanical structure, mechanism, and control strategy used. Detection of gait events depends on the disability of the wearer and is very critical to decide the appropriate gait event that needs to be activated either by powering the actuators actively or passively.
