Internet of things for knowledge administrations by wearable gadgets

The novel gadgets are associated constantly at a quick phase for the development of Internet of Things (IoT). Wearable gadgets are another gathering development in those available gadgets. The recent method in gadgets is to coordinate with IoT and idea is implementing the remote sensor systems that convey novel encounters in day by day exercises. Here, I exhibit a regular day to day existence application including a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for gaming situation. By using this, the physical factors of sports person are estimated and directed by wearable gadgets to Wireless Sensor Networks. The end goal to incorporate diverse equipment stages and to present an administration situated semantic middleware arrangement hooked on a solitary request also utilization of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is introduced as a scaffold to ensure coordination of the distinctive conditions and interoperability. Through proposed method everyone can procure information by introducing framework to fresh client. Those clients would be able to get to the information through a wide assortment of gadgets (cell phones, tablets, and PCs) and working frameworks (Android, Windows, Linux, iOS, and so on). Finally we introduced one case study of football match for monitoring 11 players and acquiring data’s and to predict the real time situation in football ground.     

Clinical approach to hip pain

Hip joint pain occurs not uncommonly in clinical practice. Arthritis of the hip joint, ligament strain and bursitis are some of the common causes of hip joint pain encountered by physicians. This article dwells on relevant clinical anatomy of the hip and the diagnostic approach to hip pain in rheumatology clinic.     

Association between presence of pneumonia and pressure ulcer formation following traumatic spinal cord injury

Objective: To determine if the presence of pneumonia and pressure ulcers are associated in individuals with an acute spinal cord injury during acute care and rehabilitation hospitalizations.

Design: Retrospective, secondary analyses of data obtained from the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems enrolled from 1993 until 2006

Setting: Acute care hospitalization and inpatient rehabilitation facilities

Participants: A cohort of individuals hospitalized in acute care (n?=?3,098) and inpatient rehabilitation (n?=?1,768) was included in the analysis. Frequencies of pressure ulcer formation and episodes of pneumonia were noted in both settings.

Interventions: Not applicable.

Outcome Measures: Pressure ulcer formation and diagnosis of pneumonia

Results: The development of pressure ulcers, including stage I, was 20.3% acute care and 21.1% during in inpatient rehabilitation. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed a significant association of pneumonia with occurrence of pressure ulcers (P?≤?0.001, OR?=?2.3 and 2.2 respectively), the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grades (P?Conclusion: A higher presence of pressure ulcers was found in individuals with pneumonia, after adjusting for injury severity, age, sex, and utilization of mechanical ventilation. Impaired inflammatory response and decreased mobility in individuals with pneumonia may predispose these individuals to develop pressure ulcers. Surveillance and preventive measures for pressure ulcers should be rigorous in individuals with SCI and pneumonia.     

Design and Development of Acetylthiocholine Electrochemical Biosensor Based on Zinc Oxide–Cerium Oxide Nanohybrid Modified Platinum Electrode

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme has been predominantly used for the detection of pesticides and metal ions. But, these sensors respond to pesticides as well as metal ions at certain concentration, which results in poor selectivity. Hence in this work, the amount of thiocholine produced during AChE inhibition has been estimated to detect the residual activity of AChE enzyme in-turn to enhance the efficiency of the biosensor. In this context, Pt/ZnO–CeO₂/AChE/Chitosan based biosensor has been developed for sensitive voltammetric quantification of thiocholine in AChE. The sensor exhibited enhanced electron transfer rate, good conductivity and biocompatibility. Both the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters were simultaneously optimized using second order polynomial regression to get the best conditions for ATCh determination. Under optimized experimental conditions, the redox peak current was linear over the concentration range of 0.1–1.5 mM with detection and quantification limit of 0.05 and 0.15 μM respectively and the sensitivity of 1.47 μA mM^?1.     

Toll-like receptors: Significance,ligands, signaling pathways,and functions in mammals

This review attempts to cover the implication of the toll-like receptors (TLRs) in controlling immune functions with emphasis on their significance, function, regulation and expression patterns. The tripartite TLRs are type I integral transmembrane receptors that are involved in recognition and conveying of pathogens to the immune system. These paralogs are located on cell surfaces or within endosomes. The TLRs are found to be functionally involved in the recognition of self and non-self-antigens, maturation of DCs and initiation of antigen-specific adaptive immune responses as they bridge the innate and adaptive immunity. Interestingly, they also have a significant role in immunotherapy and vaccination. Signals generated by TLRs are transduced through NFκB signaling and MAP kinases pathway to recruit pro-inflammatory cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules, which promote inflammatory responses. The excess production of these cytokines leads to grave systemic disorders like tumor growth and autoimmune disorders. Hence, regulation of the TLR signaling pathway is necessary to keep the host system safe. Many molecules like LPS, SOCS1, IRAK1, NFκB, and TRAF3 are involved in modulating the TLR pathways to induce appropriate response. Though quantification of these TLRs helps in correlating the magnitude of immune response exhibited by the animal, there are several internal, external, genetic and animal factors that affect their expression patterns. So it can be concluded that any identification based on those expression profiles may lead to improper diagnosis during certain conditions.     

Migrating foreign body into the common carotid artery and internal jugular vein – A rare case

Ingested foreign bodies are a fairly common otorhinolaryngological emergencies encountered in Malaysia. The vast majority of these foreign bodies are fish bones which most commonly are impacted at the level of the cricopharynx. Rarely, however, a foreign body may migrate extraluminally and may even extrude subcutaneously. We report a rare occurrence where a fish bone not only migrated extraluminally, it was found to have migrated into the common carotid artery and the internal jugular vein and required surgical removal.
