Social media may be a useful adjunct for laparoscopic training, but its utility in developing countries like India has not been studied carefully. This paper describes an observational, cross-sectional study on the educational utility of Facebook groups based in India and which focus on laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.Methods: The most popular Facebook groups involving Indians and focusing on laparoscopic gynecology were identified using appropriate search terms as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data related to the groups, the authors of posts as well as descriptive statistics of all the posts during the study period were collected and appropriate statistical analysis was performed.Results: All the groups in this study were large and growing steadily. Posts related to laparoscopy were more likely to be videos, dealing with operative techniques and having educational value for postgraduate residents (p value < 0.001) compared to posts unrelated to laparoscopic surgery. The majority of posts (88.2%) presented original content created by group members rather than material shared from other sources. Members preferred to share laparoscopic content using links to their personal YouTube channels rather than using institutional YouTube channels, dedicated websites for laparoscopic surgery or direct posts on Facebook. Group members liked educational content and laparoscopic surgery-related content significantly more than other content. Only 16.7% of the laparoscopic surgeons could be identified to be working in academic institutes.Conclusion: Social media for medical education has inherent advantages and disadvantages. This article provides objective data regarding its utilisation in a developing country in the midst of the Covid pandemic, and provides a guide for further research and development of innovative teaching methods.Keywords: online learning, distance learning, surgical education, laparoscopic gynecology, Covid pandemic, social media

Aim: The main aim of the study was to evaluate tooth position in plaster models of nonorthodontic subjects that have optimal occlusion, using the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) criteria and comparing it to ABO standards. Methods: Forty nonorthodontic subjects with optimal occlusion were evaluated for teeth positioning with ABO measurement criteria, using the ABO gauge. These measurements were compared to the ABO standards. On the panoramic radiographs of these subjects, distances between the roots of teeth were measured using the digital ruler in Quick Ceph
R . Lateral cephalograms were scanned and digitized into Quick CephR systems to evaluate the skeletal anteroposterior and vertical relationship. Means and standard deviations were calculated for all the variables and compared to ABO standards. Correlations were obtained between attrition and overjet. Correlations were also studied between anteroposterior skeletal relation, vertical skeletal relation, and teeth positioning. In subjects that had accurate age records, the relationship between age and change in buccolingual inclination was evaluated. Results: A significant difference in the mean values for inclination of maxillary and mandibular first bicuspids, second bicuspids, first molars, and second molars as compared to the board criteria was observed. Accuracy of panoramic radiograph to measure root proximity, especially in the cuspid region, is questionable. There was a positive correlation between overjet at the cuspid region and attrition. There was a minimal correlation between age and buccolingual inclination of teeth, indicating only a trend for mandibular second bicuspid to upright with age. Conclusion: The ABO criteria and standards used to evaluate finished orthodontic cases are consistent with naturally occurring optimal dentitions, except for buccolingual inclination of posterior teeth in both maxillary and mandibular arches.

- Abstract
Background Pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) may present with supratentorial phenotypes and is often accompanied by microcephaly. Damaging mutations in the X-linked gene CASK produce self-limiting microcephaly with PCH in females but are often lethal in males. CASK deficiency leads to early degeneration of cerebellar granule cells but its role in other regions of the brain remains uncertain. Method We generated a conditional Cask knockout mice and deleted Cask ubiquitously after birth at different times. We examined the clinical features in several subjects with damaging mutations clustered in the central part of the CASK protein. We have performed phylogenetic analysis and RT-PCR to assess the splicing pattern within the same protein region and performed in silico structural analysis to examine the effect of splicing on the CASK's structure. Result We demonstrate that deletion of murine Cask after adulthood does not affect survival but leads to cerebellar degeneration and ataxia over time. Intriguingly, damaging hemizygous CASK mutations in boys who display microcephaly and cerebral dysfunction but without PCH are known. These mutations are present in two vertebrate-specific CASK exons. These exons are subject to alternative splicing both in forebrain and hindbrain. Inclusion of these exons differentially affects the molecular structure and hence possibly the function/s of the CASK C-terminus. Conclusion Loss of CASK function disproportionately affects the cerebellum. Clinical data, however, suggest that CASK may have additional vertebrate-specific function/s that play a role in the mammalian forebrain. Thus, CASK has an ancient function shared between invertebrates and vertebrates as well as novel vertebrate- specific function/s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death globally, resulting in 17.9 million deaths each year, according to a new report by the World Health Organization. However, with the advancement of technology, machine learning approaches have shown promise in the health industry, providing an opportunity to diagnose and treat heart disease at an earlier stage. In this research project, we aim to build a machine learning model to predict the likelihood of heart disease based on relevant factors. We use a Kaggle heart disease dataset, which includes a comprehensive list of factors related to heart disease, and employ various machine learning algorithms such as Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, K-NN, and Decision Tree. Our results indicate that Random Forest provides better prediction accuracy in less time than other machine learning approaches, making it an effective decision support system for medical professionals. This project has the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and ultimately save lives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Unfortunately, accidents caused by bad weather have regularly made headlines throughout history. Some of the more catastrophic events to recently make news include a plane crash, ship collision, railway derailment, and several vehicle accidents. The public's attention has been directed to the severe issue of safety and security under extreme weather conditions, and many studies have been conducted to highlight the susceptibility of transportation services to environmental factors. An automated method of determining the weather's state has gained importance with the development of new technologies and the rise of a new industry: intelligent transportation. Humans are well-suited for determining the temperature from a single photograph. Nevertheless, this is a more challenging problem for a fully autonomous system. The objective of this research is developing a good weather classifier that uses only a single image as input. To resolve quality-of-life challenges, we propose a modified deep-learning method to classify the weather condition. The proposed model is based on the Yolov5 model, which has been hyperparameter tuned with the Learning-without-Forgetting (LwF) approach. We took 1499 images from the Roboflow data repository and divided them into training, validation, and testing sets (70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively). The proposed model has gained 99.19% accuracy. The results demonstrated that the proposed model gained a much higher accuracy level in comparison with existing approaches. In the future, this proposed model may be implemented in real-time.

- Abstract
Pathogenic variants in GEMIN4 have recently been linked to an inherited autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized with microcephaly, cataracts, and renal abnormalities (NEDMCR syndrome). This report provides a retrospective review of 16 patients from 11 unrelated Saudi consanguineous families with GEMIN4 mutations. The cohort comprises 11 new and unpublished clinical details from five previously described patients. Only two missense, homozygous, pathogenic variants were found in all affected patients, suggesting a founder effect. All patients shared global developmental delay with variable ophthalmological, renal, and skeletal manifestations. In addition, we knocked down endogenous Drosophila GEMIN4 in neurons to further investigate the mechanism of the functional defects in affected patients. Our fly model findings demonstrated developmental defects and motor dysfunction suggesting that loss of GEMIN4 function is detrimental in vivo; likely similar to human patients. To date, this study presents the largest cohort of patients affected with GEMIN4 mutations. Considering that identifying GEMIN4 defects in patients presenting with neurodevelopmental delay and congenital cataract will help in early diagnosis, appropriate management and prevention plans that can be made for affected families.

- Abstract
Purpose of study: Advanced uterovaginal prolapse can significantly affect the quality of life in women and usually requires surgical management. McCall's culdoplasty (M) or sacrospinous fixation (SSF) are done at the time of vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair (VHPFR) to reduce recurrence, but recurrence rates of 15% and 33% have been reported with these procedures respectively. We hypothesize that combining VH-PFR with both McCall's culdoplasty and sacrospinous fixation (VH-PFR-M-SSF) may decrease recurrence rates compared to VH-PFR-M without significantly affecting other perioperative outcomes. Methods: All patients with advanced uterovaginal prolapse and willing for VH-PFR at our institute from January 2015 to March 2018 were included after informed consent, except for medically unfit women and those preferring alternative management. We conducted a case control study comparing VH-PFR-M and VH-PFR-M-SSF with a follow-up period of 24 months. Qualitative and quantitative data were statistically analysed and Odds ratio and 95% Confidence interval was calculated. Kaplan Meier Curve was drawn and Log Rank test was used to compare recurrence. Results: Out of 174 patients who underwent surgery in the study period, 131 patients (75.28%) underwent VH-PFR-M and 43 patients (24.71%) underwent VH-PFR-M-SSF. Both groups were comparable for age, body mass index, parity, postmenopausal status, comorbidities and aggravating factors. Patients with higher stage of prolapse were more in group 2 (p < 0.001). There were no intraoperative complications or postoperative surgical interventions in either group. The duration of surgery was not significantly different. Change in haematocrit was more in group 2 but no patient required blood transfusion. There was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rates between the 2 groups. Conclusion: The procedure (VH PFR M-SSF) is safe and affordable with good results in Stage 3 with advanced bulge and stage 4 prolapse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
A comparison has been made on inclusion rating of steels using various inclusion standards including ASTM E45, DIN 50602, JIS G0555, ISO 4967:2013 (E), IS4163:2004, GOST 1778-70 and ASTM E2283 Murakami's extreme value analysis. Eight different steels were prepared and subjected to investigation as per the standards chosen. The study brings out the relative rating measure in the various standards. The extreme value analysis could be effectively used to find the largest macro-oxide inclusion within a given size range, which had potential for initiation of fatigue failure in the steel. The inclusions found using extreme value analysis were characterized by SEM-EDS to understand the type of inclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Under changing market conditions for the hospitality industry, the Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group (CRHG) collaborated with JDA Software Group to use operations research to drive higher revenue for its hoteliers and to stay ahead of the competition. This highly innovative revenue optimization project, Stay Night Automated Pricing (SNAP), started with enterprise demand forecasting across 600 US hotels in 2007. It was followed by a large-scale network optimization solution to dynamically optimize hotel room rates based on price elasticity of demand, competitor rates, availability of remaining inventory, demand forecasts, and business rules. All North American hotels were operational in SNAP by March 2011. Starting from the optimization prototyping results in 2008, CRHG consistently measured a 2-4 percent revenue improvement in compliant hotels over noncompliant ones. To date, compliant hotels have increased revenue by more than $16 million annually. After a successful deployment in the Americas, CRHG extended the partnership with JDA to globally roll out SNAP, with an initial focus on Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region. CRHG anticipates that the worldwide incremental revenue from this solution will exceed $30 million annually. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Children with autistic spectrum disorder are known to have histopathological abnormalities in the cerebellum. Diffusion tensor imaging has been utilized to study abnormalities in connectivity and microintegrity in brains of such children. A region of interest approach was adopted to study cerebellar outflow and inflow pathways in 27 children (24 males; mean age, 5.0 years) with autism, and comparison was made with 16 normally developing controls. An increase in the mean diffusivity of bilateral superior cerebellar peduncles in those with autistic spectrum disorder was noted, as was a reversal of the asymmetry pattern in fractional anisotropy of the middle cerebellar peduncle and the inferior cerebellar peduncle in the autistic spectrum disorder group, compared with controls. This study reiterates the underconnectivity between the cerebellum and neocortex, using diffusion tensor imaging. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

- Abstract
Mobile, wearable, and self-driving telephones are just a few examples of modern distributed networks that generate enormous amount of information every day. Due to the growing computing capacity of these devices as well as concerns over the transfer of private information, it has become important to process the part of the data locally by moving the learning methods and computing to the border of devices. Federated learning has developed as a model of education in these situations. Federated learning (FL) is an expert form of decentralized machine learning (ML). It is essential in areas like privacy, large-scale machine education and distribution. It is also based on the current stage of ICT and new hardware technology and is the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI). In FL, central ML model is built with all the data available in a centralised environment in the traditional machine learning. It works without problems when the predictions can be served by a central server. Users require fast responses in mobile computing, but the model processing happens at the sight of the server, thus taking too long. The model can be placed in the end-user device, but continuous learning is a challenge to overcome, as models are programmed in a complete dataset and the end-user device lacks access to the entire data package. Another challenge with traditional machine learning is that user data is aggregated at a central location where it violates local privacy policies laws and make the data more vulnerable to data violation. This book provides a comprehensive approach in federated learning for various aspects.

- Abstract
Plant volatiles—compounds emitted from plant organs to interact with the surrounding environment—play essential roles in attracting pollinators and defending against herbivores and pathogenes, plant-plant signaling, and abiotic stress responses. Biology of Plant Volatiles, with contributions from leading international groups of distinguished scientists in the field, explores the major aspects of plant scent biology.Responding to new developments in the detection of the complex compound structures of volatiles, this book details the composition and biosynthesis of plant volatiles and their mode of emission. It explains the function and significance of volatiles for plants as well as insects and microbes whose interactions with plants are affected by these compounds. The content also explores the biotechnological and commercial potential for the manipulation of plant volatiles.Features: Combines widely scattered literature in a single volume for the first time, covering all important aspects of plant volatiles, from their chemical structures to their biosynthesis to their roles in the interactions of plants with their biotic and abiotic environment Takes an interdisciplinary approach, providing multilevel analysis from chemistry and genes to enzymology, cell biology, organismal biology and ecology Includes up-to-date methodologies in plant scent biology research, from molecular biology and enzymology to functional genomics This book will be a touchstone for future research on the many applications of plant volatiles and is aimed at plant biologists, entomologists, evolutionary biologists and researchers in the horticulture and perfume industries.
