To compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection vs dry needling (DN) for management of trigger points in the masseter muscle in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) patients.This randomized controlled trial included 30 clinically confirmed cases of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the masseter muscle who were randomly and equally (1:1) assigned to the test (PRP) and control (DN) groups. Both groups were evaluated for pain (visual analog scale [VAS]), range of functional movements, need for pain medication, patient satisfaction (Likert scale), and sleep (VAS) at baseline and 2-week, 1-month, and 3-month follow-ups. VAS pain and Likert score were also obtained at 6-month intervals.The use of PRP solution in MTrPs in MPS patients had a better effect on pain and patient satisfaction compared to DN.PRP appears to be a more effective treatment modality compared to DN in the management of MTrPs in MPS patients.

To determine whether low serum vitamin D level is a risk factor for development of Rhinocerebral mucormycosis in COVID-19 afflicted patients. A case control study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital utilizing the archived records of COVID-19 afflicted Rhinocerebral mucormycosis cases and age and gender matched controls. The mean value (± standard deviation) of vitamin D level in patients with Mucormycosis was 19.65 ± 13.07 ng/ml and in control subjects it was 27.88 ± 18.04 ng/ml.There was a significant difference between groups (p = 0.02). Thus, low Vitamin D level may be implicated as a risk factor for the advent of mucormycosis in a COVID-19 afflicted patient and therefore Vitamin D supplements may be provided to such patients to achieve normal serum levels.

Mucormycosis is becoming more common in patients infected with or recovering from COVID-19 under the current situation. However, there is a scarcity of research on a specific group of COVID-19 individuals who are predisposed to mucormycosis. As a result, a retrospective observational study was undertaken to assess the possible connection of mucormycosis with COVID-19. The goal was also to investigate the link between diabetes mellitus, mucormycosis and COVID-19. The occurrence and severity of the disease among the case records were assessed using signs and symptoms, investigations conducted during COVID-19, and serological test results. Patients were classified as previously known diabetics, recently diagnosed diabetics, or non-diabetics based on their history of pre-existing DM and HBA1c levels at the time of reporting for mucormycosis. The findings show that mild COVID-19-infected patients and non-diabetic patients have a high incidence of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM). As a result, all clinicians participating in the care of COVID-infected patients must be aware of the significant risk of secondary mucormycosis in the post-recovery phase, even in those with mild or moderate symptoms.

The quick advancement of cryptographic forms of money has caused to notice this specific market, with financial backers attempting to comprehend its conduct and analysts attempting to clarify it. The development of digital currencies' costs showed a sort of air pocket and an accident toward the finish of 2017. In view of this occasion, and on the way that Bitcoin is the most perceived digital currency, we propose to assess the infection impact among Bitcoin and other significant cryptographic forms of money. Utilizing the Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis connection coefficient and looking at the period after and before the accident, we discovered proof of an infection impact, with this specific market being more incorporated now than in the past something that ought to be considered by current and likely financial backers. Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin have developed from being related only with geeks and revolutionaries to being considered by national banks as an innovation to carry out advanced cash. Digital forms of money exist just in computerized shape and can be moved totally between advanced addresses. This is both not normal for traditional electronic cash as perceived by laypersons which goes about as an obligation guarantee on a store with a confided in monetary foundation, for example, a private bank and dissimilar to ordinary bodily cash which might be truly moved by. This implies that any lawful rights related with holding digital forms of money should be diverse in spite of it being staying not entirely clear. In this , we take a gander at the different medicines of cash in the lawful detect and talk about the dangers related with each by drawing on genuine models. We presume that extortion through hacking might actually represent an issue to broad reception of cryptographic forms of money as the shortfall of plan of action against an outsider, for example, a bank amasses hazard in holders of digital currencies. Clients should hence practice alert and comprehend the dangers prior to putting resources into digital currencies. This admonition requires accentuation as many gatherings misunderstand the cryptography inside the innovation as shielding them from such misrepresentation when truth be told it does nothing of the sort.

Exchange rates play a central role in international trade because they allow us to compare the prices of goods and services produced in different countries. A consumer deciding which of two American cars to buy must compare their dollar prices. Households and firms use exchange rates to translate foreign prices into domestic cur-rency terms. Once the money prices of domestic goods and imports have been expressed in terms of the same currency, households and firms can compute the relative prices that affect international trade flows.

Tesla, an American automobile company founded in 2003, has made serious efforts to create an altogether new driving experience and make electric cars the new normal. Despite being one of the first companies in the EV space, Tesla has been against advertising since its inception and hence is popularly recognised for its “$0 marketing strategy”. The research involves identifying the reason why Tesla adopts this unique marketing strategy and the potential impacts it may have in the future. Using a survey questionnaire and a deep Market Share analysis, the study identifies that the company has been able to create brand awareness to a great extent and holds a prominent position in the market. In conclusion, the investigation reflects how the marketing strategy has been one of the most crucial decisions in contributing to their growth and success. However, it may also be the reason for a future downfall considering the vast majority of entrants are looking towards scraping off Tesla’s throne to become the market leader.

Purpose This research aims to discuss the key civil rights problems in mental well-being and the solutions to those challenges in standard-setting and institutional practice, as well as proposes an integrated approach to adapting the emerging principles of practice to divisive mental health concerns. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on review of literature focused on mental health and human rights with special reference to international standards and clinical practices. Recent articles related to mental health and human rights and mechanisms suggested by United nations were included to draw conclusion. Findings Review of literature suggested to switch from reactive to a constructive and pragmatic approach, which is community-based, emphasizing alliance, rather than action, when the client is still too damaged to agree. Treatment should go hand in hand with mental health and civil rights education in the neighbourhood, as well as opportunities for engagement in shared interests in the group and interaction of other individuals with living experience. Originality/value While consent to care is a vital issue for human rights, the view of individuals with psychiatric illnesses as dangerous and “out of reach” is perpetuated by a disproportionate emphasis on it. Treatment should go hand in hand with mental health and civil rights education in the neighbourhood, as well as opportunities for engagement in shared interests in the group and interaction of other individuals with living experience.

Current methods for extracting information from user resumes do not work well with unstructured user resumes in economic announcements, and they do not work well with documents that have the same users in them. Unstructured user information is turned into structured user information templates in this study. It also proposes a way to build person relationship graphs in the field of economics. First, the lightweight blockchain-based BERT model (B-BERT) is trained. The learned B-BERT pretraining model is then utilized to get the event instance vector, categorize it appropriately, and populate the hierarchical user information templates with accurate user characteristics. The aim of this research is that it has investigated the approach of creating character connection graphs in the Chinese financial system and suggests a framework for doing so in the economic sector. Furthermore, the relationship between users is found through the filled-in user information template, and a graph of user relationships is made. This is how it works: finally, the experiment is checked by filling in a manually annotated dataset. In tests, the method can be used to get text information from unstructured economic user resumes and build a relationship map of people in the financial field. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is capable of efficiently retrieving information from unstructured financial personnel resume text and generating a character relationship graph in the economic sphere.

With the evolution of the technology, digital microfluidic (DMF) biochips have become a vital part of biochemical research. Hence, it is required to consider the reliability of the different fluidic operations performed on a biochip. Sample preparation is an important process of any real-life bioprotocol implementation on a DMF biochip. In this process, sequence of mixing and dilution steps are determined to get the desired target concentrations. The mixers used for performing mix-split steps may incorporate some noise during mixing and can result in the erroneous concentrations of the reagents. Thus, the reliability analysis of the resultant target concentration is necessary and methods are required to be developed to reduce these concentration errors. In this paper, the error and reliability models are discussed to compare the reliabilities of the existing mixing algorithms. Simulation results show that for a given target ratio, reliability of common dilution operation sharing (Liu et al. , ICCAD-2013) is higher. We also discuss the mixer assignment techniques and the heuristic approach is found to quickly provide the better order of mixer assignment in order to achieve highly reliable mixture after sample preparation.

The widespread use of crowdsourcing strategies in higher education institutions improves the performance of students by using collective initiatives to enhance the skills of each student, efficiently optimizes the lecturing process by exchanging and pooling research materials, and also improves the financial situation of alumni by encouraging crowdfunding of tuition. We identify four main areas in this study where the use of crowdsourcing strategies plays an important role in the success of alumni in institutions of higher education. The proposed “crowd teaching” approach optimizes lecturing, allowing lecture notes to be shared and exchanged according to the various curricula of Higher Education Studies. With “crowd learning”, students learn by execution on collaborative projects in which different students share (effectively) teaching each other under the guidance of the lecturer, learn the necessary skills to achieve the project’s goals and solve the proposed issue. In relation to accessing funding, the tuition fees of students can be financed by crowdsourcing approaches through “crowd tuition” and even “crowdfunding” can be used to procure laboratory and classroom content or the learning stays of students abroad. Using this crowdsourcing tool, students can find assistance in paying university taxes and also have an interest in further learning with other students. The application of crowdsourcing to education allows for optimization of the institutions’ budget and a more effective use of learning time, leading eventually to better outcomes for students.
