DIA: User-defined interval analytics on distributed streams
No full textNowadays, modern Big Stream Processing Solutions (e.g. Spark, Flink) are working towards being the ultimate framework for streaming analytics. In order to achieve this goal, they started to offer extensions of SQL that incorporate stream-oriented primitives such as windowing and Complex Event Processing (CEP). The former enables stateful computation on infinite sequences of data items while the latter focuses on the detection of events pattern. In most of the cases, data items and events are considered instantaneous, i.e., they are single time points in a discrete temporal domain. Nevertheless, a point-based time semantics does not satisfy the requirements of a number of use-cases. For instance, it is not possible to detect the interval during which the temperature increases until the temperature begins to decrease, nor for all the relations this interval subsumes. To tackle this challenge, we present D^2IA; a set of novel abstract operators to define analytics on user-defined event intervals based on raw events and to efficiently reason about temporal relationships between intervals and/or point events. We realize the implementation of the concepts of D^2IA on top of Flink, a distributed stream processing engine for big data

The LATQAN Project obtained the digital copies of manuscripts containing Book One of the Canon of Avicenna from twenty different libraries in countries around the world, thus gathering as completely as possible all copies of manuscripts containing this crucial historical text. Through careful compilation, our team has chosen the above core manuscripts. By doing this work, not only have we created public, searchable transcriptions of important texts hitherto available only as fragile, handwritten documents, we are also able to better understand the history of the transmission of this text.

A comparison of three methods to assess body composition.
No full textAuthor(s) Pre or Post Print Version OnlyOBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of measurements of body composition made using dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans at the L3 vertebral level, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). METHODS: DXA, CT, and BIA were performed in 47 patients recruited from two clinical trials investigating metabolic changes associated with major abdominal surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophagogastric cancer. DXA was performed the week before surgery and before and after commencement of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. BIA was performed at the same time points and used with standard equations to calculate fat-free mass (FFM). Analysis of CT scans performed within 3 mo of the study was used to estimate FFM and fat mass (FM). RESULTS: There was good correlation between FM on DXA and CT (r2 = 0.6632; P < 0.0001) and FFM on DXA and CT (r2 = 0.7634; P < 0.0001), as well as FFM on DXA and BIA (r2 = 0.6275; P < 0.0001). Correlation between FFM on CT and BIA also was significant (r2 = 0.2742; P < 0.0001). On Bland-Altman analysis, average bias for FM on DXA and CT was 0.2564 with 95% limits of agreement (LOA) of -9.451 to 9.964. For FFM on DXA and CT, average bias was -0.1477, with LOA of -8.621 to 8.325. For FFM on DXA and BIA, average bias was -3.792, with LOA of -15.52 to 7.936. For FFM on CT and BIA, average bias was -2.661, with LOA of -22.71 to 17.39. CONCLUSION: Although a systematic error underestimating FFM was demonstrated with BIA, it may be a useful modality to quantify body composition in the clinical situation
Glycated albumin and glycated albumin/ glycated haemoglobin ratio decrease with increasing BMI compared to Glycated haemoglobin in Type 2 diabetes patients
No full textAbstract: Background: Obese T2DM patients are more prone to develop accelerated complications which burdens the global health systems with undue expenditure. Glycated haemoglobin (A1c) had been settled as a gold standard glycemic indicator though it's levels must be prudently interpreted in some patients. Glycatedalbumin (GA) as an alternative, intermediate glycemic indicator is gaining much attention. Aim: assessing the correlation of each of glycated albumin and glycated haemoglobin to body mass index (BMI) in T2DM patients Hypothesis: negative correlation existsbetween BMI & glycated albumin. Subjects and methods: Cross sectional study into which 62 participants-aged 25-60 years -who are T2DM on insulin were recruited at Suez Canal University hospital.None of them was smoker or known to be CLD or DKD patient, none was on regular statins, aspirin or metformin. All had normal CBC and albumin indices, they underwent thorough history taking & examination. anthropometric measurements namely body mass index (BMI) were taken.They were grouped into a non-obese group with BMI <25 Kg/m 2 & obese group whose BMI ≥25 Kg/m 2 , each with a sample size of 31 participants. FPG,PPPG, HbA1c, CBC, serum albumin, serum insulin and GA were analyzed.insulin resistance was measured by HOMA-IR. Results: GA was insignificantly lower in obese T2DM compared to non-obese (579.3 µmol/L vs 600.0 µmol/L,p-value = 0.631), while GA/HbA1c ratio was significantly low among obese compared to non-obese. (61.1 vs 66.8, p-value= 0.040). Also GA was insignificantly lower in obese with insulin resistance (615.0 ±177.5 µmol/L) than obese with no insulin resistance (550.0±148.2 µmol/L) and also lower than non-obese with insulin resistance (637.4±153.0 µmol/L).Similarly GA/HbA1c ratio was lower in obese with &without insulin resistance (mean 57.6 ±SD 12.8 & mean 64.1 ±SD 9.0 respectively) compared to GA/HbA1c ratio in non-obese with & without insulin resistance (mean 66.9 ±SD 11.0 & mean 66.7 ±SD 9.1 respectively). Conclusion: This study showed that care to be paid while interpreting GA levels in obese T2DM as GA and GA/HbA1c ratio are lower in this population. [Iman El -Sherif, Mohamed I. Shoeir, Mohamed M.
