AN OBSERVATIONAL RESEARCH TO COMPARE AN ONSET OF LEFT AND RIGHT SIDED CONGENITAL TORTICOLLIS AMONG SELECTED PATIENTS
No full textIntroduction: The condition in which sternocleidomastoid muscle is stretched and shorten from one side is known as congenital torticollis. It is an interesting situation in the area mom-predicted. There may not be the obvious presence of a tumour or stern mastoid mass clinically. There may be serious accommodation of facial cosmoses and cervical working which is left untreated. Facial asymmetry, plagiocephaly and bent heat are commonly observed in patients.
Objective: To highlight the difference between right-sided congenital torticollis and left-sided congenital torticollis is the main objective of this study.
Method: We conducted this observational research study at Allied Hospital, Faisalabad from December 2016 to April 2017. In this study, total of 30 people was included. These people were the patients of congenital torticollis. The patients approaching physiotherapy and Orthopedic fulfilled the questionnaire and information was gathered from these patients.
Results: In this study, total 30 patients were included. Out of these females were 16 (53.3%) and males were 14 (46.7). from 16 females, 11 had right-sided congenital torticollis and 5 had left-sided congenital torticollis. Out of 14 males, 6 were observed with left-sided congenital torticollis and 8 were observed with right-sided congenital torticollis. So, the result indicates 11 (36.7%) patients and 19 (63.3%) patients with left and right sided congenital torticollis respectively.
Conclusion: The results showed that the incidence of congenital torticollis is mostly found in females as compared to males. Moreover, as compared to left-sided congenital torticollis, the possibility of right-sided congenital torticollis is higher
Application of Least Square Denoising to Improve ADMM Based Hyperspectral Image Classification
No full textAbstractHyperspectral images contain a huge amount of spatial and spectral information so that, almost any type of Earth feature can be discriminated from any other feature. But, for this classification to be possible, it is to be ensured that there is as less noise as possible in the captured data. Unfortunately, noise is unavoidable in nature and most hyperspectral images need denoising before they can be processed for classification work. In this paper, we are presenting a new approach for denoising hyperspectral images based on Least Square Regularization. Then, the hyperspectral data is classified using Basis Pursuit classifier, a constrained L1 minimization problem. To improve the time requirement for classification, Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) solver is used instead of CVX (convex optimization) solver. The method proposed is compared with other existing denoising methods such as Legendre-Fenchel (LF), Wavelet thresholding and Total Variation (TV). It is observed that the proposed Least Square (LS) denoising method improves classification accuracy much better than other existing denoising techniques. Even with fewer training sets, the proposed denoising technique yields better classification accuracy, thus proving least square denoising to be a powerful denoising technique

Contributing to Acari Knowledge: the First Report of Trombidium Grandissimum from The Soils of Cholistan Desert, Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab, Pakistan
No full textTrombidium grandissimum is also known by names, red velvet mite, real velvet mite, giant red velvet mite and rain bug, belongs to the family Trombidiidae and subclass Acari. Red velvet mite has four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Adult red velvet mites were collected from agricultural farm area of Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology. Important taxonomic features were revealed by morphological study, including a body length of around half of an inch, velvety, unridged skin with dense hairs, stalked eyes, and specialized organs on the anterior legs including sensilla and claws. Carotene-induced bright red coloring might be an adaptive trait for hibernation and predator avoidance. Investigating T. grandissimum ecological role in nature and comprehending the genetic composition that underlies its distinct adaptations should be the main goals of future research

Eco-Friendly Management of Nausinoe Geometralis Through Botanical Extracts on Jasmine Plant
No full textJasmine leaf webworm, Nausinoe geometralis, is a significant pest of Jasminum spp. commonly known as Jasmine plant. This plant holds a special place in Pakistan\u27s culture; as it is declared as its national flower. N. geometralis feeds on the leaves of the jasmine plant; leaving it damaged and unattractive. Current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of four botanical extracts (i.e. Neem, Taramira, Lemon grass, and Cactus) against N. geometralis; to explore an effective and eco-friendly method to protect the jasmine plant. Different concentrations of extracts were prepared using distilled water. Bioassays were performed on third instar larvae of N. geometralis following leaf dip method for various exposure intervals. Outcomes revealed that Neem extract was highly effective to manage the test insect pest followed by Taramira, Lemon grass, and Cactus. LC50 values of Neem after 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours were 22.25, 11.11, 11.31, and 15.82 ppm, respectively. It was concluded that botanical extracts can be utilized as promising agents in developing effective management strategies against N. geometralis. Future research should focus on optimizing the application methods and exploring the synergistic effects of these botanical extracts with other eco-friendly control measures to enhance their effectiveness against N. geometralis in field conditions

α-arrestin ARRDC3 tumor suppressor function is linked to GPCR-induced TAZ activation and breast cancer metastasis
No full textThe α-arrestin domain containing protein 3 (ARRDC3) is a tumor suppressor in triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC), a highly metastatic subtype of breast cancer that lacks targeted therapies. Thus, understanding the mechanisms and targets of ARRDC3 in TNBC is important. ARRDC3 regulates trafficking of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1, also known as F2R), a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) implicated in breast cancer metastasis. Loss of ARRDC3 causes overexpression of PAR1 and aberrant signaling. Moreover, dysregulation of GPCR-induced Hippo signaling is associated with breast cancer progression. However, the mechanisms responsible for Hippo dysregulation remain unknown. Here, we report that the Hippo pathway transcriptional co-activator TAZ (also known as WWTR1) is the major effector of GPCR signaling and is required for TNBC migration and invasion. Additionally, ARRDC3 suppresses PAR1-induced Hippo signaling via sequestration of TAZ, which occurs independently of ARRDC3-regulated PAR1 trafficking. The ARRDC3 C-terminal PPXY motifs and TAZ WW domain are crucial for this interaction and are required for suppression of TNBC migration and lung metastasis in vivo. These studies are the first to demonstrate a role for ARRDC3 in regulating GPCR-induced TAZ activity in TNBC and reveal multi-faceted tumor suppressor functions of ARRDC3. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper
