An observational study on detection of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias with smartphone-based ECG
Get PDFThe Interpretation provided by the smartphone-based Portable ECG devices is still questioned for its reliability and are a subject of study for the detection of arrhythmia and abnormal cases. The heart abnormality is the marker of the uncertain change in the electrical activity of the heart. Hence, its early and true detection can prevent sudden cardiac death and, in some cases even Myocardial Infarction. This study provides insights into such kind of smartphone-based ECG device in comparison to the 12-lead gold standard ECG. Arrhythmia Detection for both atrial and ventricular abnormalities is done by 12- lead ECG machines. Here, we have compared and observed the performance of one such kind of portable device with clinical interpretation and 12 lead gold standard generated computer interpretations. Among the 153 number of enrolled participants 110 subjects were taken into the consideration as per the study protocols. The trials were validated according to the specificity and sensitivity of the smartphone-based ECG which was evaluated at 97.2% specific and 98.63% sensitive in detecting the ventricular and atrial abnormalities in the subjects. Whereas, NPV and PPV were evaluated at 97.2 % and 98.6% respectively

Assessment of COVID-19 pandemic healthcare infrastructure of Mizoram, India
Get PDFThe deadly COVID-19 outbreak emerged in the city of Wuhan, China at the end of 2019 and developed into a global pandemic during March 2020. According to Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India report of 2021, recovery rate of the state capital of Mizoram is very low while the positivity rate is high during the second wave compared to the national average. Therefore this present study aimed to analyze the spatial pattern of Covid Care Centers, infrastructural details and different Covid Care Service area with the help of GIS using Nearest Neighbour Analysis (NNA) and Weighted Linear Combined Model (WLCM) in Aizawl district of Mizoram. The result shows that Covid Care Centers are mainly clustered in city areas and infrastructure is not adequate. There is dearth of COVID care facilities in the district and the major chunk of facilities are located only in the capital city of Aizawl leaving the rest of the district in a weak zone facility wise. Only city and its surrounding areas have very high and high Covid Care Service. The overall scenario is indicating a poor condition towards the village areas. 
Polymorphism of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase-1 in patients with prostate cancer in middle Euphrates of Iraq
Get PDFAndrogens play critical roles in prostate carcinogenesis as well as prostate cancer progression. Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), which reduces testosterone production and inhibits androgen action in prostate cancer cells, has been the criterion standard therapy for metastatic prostate cancer (1). Although initially most prostate cancers respond well to ADT, most patients eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which is mainly thought to be because androgen receptor reactivation is induced by several mechanisms. One of those mechanisms have been identified to be intratumoral androgen synthesis mostly from adrenal precursor steroids and at least in part due to de novo synthesis from cholesterol which is supported by increased expression of several genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes including HSD3B, HSD17B, and SRD5A in CRPC. Among them, HSD3B1 gene encodes 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1, which is mainly expressed in peripheral tissues including the prostate (another isoform, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2 was mainly expressed in adrenal gland and gonad in human) and is a rate-limiting enzyme required for all pathways of dihydrotestosterone synthesis. Genetic polymorphism in HSD3B1 encoding 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 has been shown to be associated with oncological outcome for prostate cancer. This study to investigate the significance of missense polymorphism in HSD3B1 gene (rs1047303) among men with prostate cancer
