Fulltext Real-Time Stress Assessment Using Sliding Window Based Convolutional Neural Network

Mental stress has been identified as a significant cause of several bodily disorders, such as depression, hypertension, neural and cardiovascular abnormalities. Conventional stress assessment methods are highly subjective and tedious and tend to lack accuracy. Machine-learning (ML)-based computer-aided diagnosis systems can be used to assess the mental state with reasonable accuracy, but they require offline processing and feature extraction, rendering them unsuitable for real-time applications. This paper presents a real-time mental stress assessment approach based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The CNN-based approach afforded real-time mental stress assessment with an accuracy as high as 96%, the sensitivity of 95%, and specificity of 97%. The proposed approach is compared with state-of-the-art ML techniques in terms of accuracy, time utilisation, and quality of features.

Fulltext Dysphagia lusoria: a case report

Aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia. This is a congenital anomaly with the right
subclavian artery originating from the dorsal part of the aortic arch and coursing through the mediastinum
between the esophagus and the vertebral column. We report a case of a patient with chronic dysphagia
caused by this condition. We further discuss the case with regards to its clinical features and options of
management.

Right-sided Aortic Arch with Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery from Kommerell's Diverticulum

Mubarak MY, Kamarul AT, Noordini MD

Iran J Radiol, 2011 Sep;8(2):103-6.

PMID: 23329925

A previously healthy 52-year-old man had a chest radiograph for medical check-up and found to have a right-sided aortic arch. Computed tomography of the thorax revealed a right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery originated from Kommerell's diverticulum. Barium swallow examination showed compression of the posterior wall of the esophagus. He was asymptomatic and no surgical intervention was performed.

An aberrant right subclavian artery is the commonest aortic arch anomaly. Majority of them were asymptomatic. An aberrant subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia in adults. This condition is also known as dysphagia lusoria. We report a case of dysphagia in a 49-year-old woman from an aberrant right subclavian artery. Diagnosis of her condition was made with barium swallow and MDCT (multidetector computed tomography) scan. She was managed conservatively.

Fulltext Dysphagia lusoria - a rare cause of prolonged Dysphagia

Lee KG, Lath N

Med J Malaysia, 2015 Feb;70(1):52-3.

PMID: 26032533

A 64-year-old man presented with prolonged history of intermittent dysphagia with sensation of food sticking at his upper chest. Physical examination was unremarkable, and an upper endoscopy did not reveal the underlying cause. On computed tomography scan of thorax, an aberrant right subclavian artery was seen coursing posterior to the esophagus resulting in external compression, which is a typical radiological feature of Dysphagia Lusoria. The pathophysiology, clinical features, imaging features and updated treatment modalities of this rare disease are discussed.

Blood pressure profile in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients

EXCLI J, 2012;11:116-24.

PMID: 27366136

Cardiovascular mortality is the leading cause of death in end stage renal disease. Despite being on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), blood pressure (BP) remains poorly controlled. A higher pulse pressure and non dipping are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. We studied BP control and the prevalence of non dipping in CAPD patients.

Fulltext Embolisation of External Jugular Vein Aneurysm: A Case Report

Rajadurai A, Aziz AA, Daud NAM, Wahab AFA, Muda AS

Malays J Med Sci, 2017 Dec;24(6):107-112.

PMID: 29379394 DOI: 10.21315/mjms2017.24.6.14

Introduction: Venous aneurysms are not as common as their arterial counterpart. The choice of management is debatable. Case Report: We present the case of a teenage boy with left external jugular vein aneurysm treated by endovascular technique. Embolisation was done using pushable microcoils with access via the femoral vein and direct puncture.

Conclusion: This form of treatment provides a less-invasive option with a more concrete evaluation of the venous abnormality and its drainage during venous aneurysm occlusion.

Fulltext Dental management of patient with Williams Syndrome - A case report

Wong D, Ramachandra SS, Singh AK

Contemp Clin Dent, 2015 9 1;6(3):418-20.

Williams syndrome is a multisystemic rare genetic disorder caused by deletion of 26-28 genes in the long arm of chromosome 7. It is characterized by developmental and physical abnormalities including congenital cardiovascular abnormalities, mental retardation, neurological features, growth deficiency, genitourinary manifestations, gastrointestinal problems, musculoskeletal problems, unique behavioral characteristics, and dental problems. Dental abnormalities include malocclusion, hypodontia, malformed teeth, taurodontism, pulp stones, increased space between teeth, enamel hypoplasia, and high prevalence of dental caries. Authors report a 17-year-old female patient with underlying Williams syndrome. Oral features and problems seen in the patient are listed. Malocclusion and screwdriver shaped teeth were noticed. Generalized widening of the periodontal ligament space with vital teeth was seen. This finding has not been reported in cases of Williams syndrome earlier. Precautions taken during dental treatment in patients with Williams syndrome are also discussed.

Liver functions in combined models of the gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity and metabolic syndrome induced by high fat or fructose diets: a comparative study

Ibraheem ZO, Farhan SS, Al Sumaidaee A, Al Sufi L, Bashir A, Balwa A, et al.

Toxicol Res, 2021 Apr;37(2):221-235.

Metabolic syndrome is one of the major risk factors that lead to various serious complications like cardiovascular abnormalities, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Its co-incidence with other organs dysfunction results in further deterioration of the condition or precipitation of other dysfunctions. This study aimed at studying the changes in the hepatic functions after the co-incidence of the high fat or fructose diets induced metabolic syndrome along with the gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity. Briefly, six groups of male Sprague Daley rats (n = 10-12) were fed with different feeding protocols; viz; standard rodent's chow, an experimental high fat or high fructose diets feedings. For each, two groups were allocated that one of them was injected with normal saline and the other with 80 mg/kg/day I.P gentamicin during the last 24 days of the feeding period. The rats were monitored for changes in the metabolic data, glycemic control, lipid profile, renal and hepatic functions, oxidative stress and the inflammatory response. The study revealed stronger hepatic changes in the renal failure groups fed with the high fat diet rather than that in the groups fed with the high fructose diet. Although, the latter experienced a stronger deterioration in the glycemic control. The study suggests that the incidence of the hepatic changes is more linked to the incidence of the deterioration in the lipids profile that was observed after the high fat diet feeding. Overall, the co-incidence of the high fat diet induced metabolic syndrome along with the renal failure constitutes a risk factor for the hepatic dysfunction.
