Dynamis of Healing
No full textThis book explores how traces of the energies and dynamics of Orthodox Christian theology and anthropology may be observed in the clinical work of depth psychology. Looking to theology to express its own religious truths and to psychology to see whether these truth claims show up in healing modalities, the author creatively engages both disciplines in order to highlight the possibilities for healing contained therein. Dynamis of Healing elucidates how theology and psychology are by no means fundamentally at odds with each other, but rather can work together in a beautiful and powerful synergia to address both the deepest needs and deepest desires of the human person for healing and flourishing.

Analysis of Chinese patents associated with incremental clustering algorithms: A review / Archana Chaudhari
No full textWith the advent of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and overall Information-Technology world, an enormous amount of data is getting generated dynamically and in real-time mode, in almost all domains of research and application systems. Such huge data has embedded patterns and hidden information to extract and learn. This learning is incremental in nature for all involved entities and users, as the data is growing exponentially in real-time. To achieve learning from such dynamic data sources, incremental clustering algorithms are used mandatorily. This mandate has given rise to increased patents related to incremental clustering concept, which is primarily a significant part of Machine Learning field. In this paper, we contribute to the in-progress discussion on the use of intellectual property resources, particularly patents related to machine learning, incremental clustering, incremental learning with a special focus to country China. Due consideration of the prior art search, the author found that China the country of registration of the application extensively contributes to the intellectual property related to incremental clustering domain hence felt the need to undertake this detailed patent analysis about this topic. We hope all readers, research scholars will be benefited with the latest research presented in this paper pertaining to various patents in the advanced areas of computer engineering
Accelerating Hadoop Map-Reduce for small/intermediate data sizes using the Comet coordination framework:
No full textMapReduce has been emerging as a popular programming paradigm for data intensive computing in clustered environments. MapReduce as a framework for solving embarrassingly parallel problems has been extensively used on large clusters. These frameworks support ease of computation for petabytes of data mostly through the use of a distributed file system example the Google File System – used by the proprietary ‘Google Map-Reduce’.
In the "Map", the master node takes the input, divides it into smaller sub-problems, and distributes those to worker nodes. The worker node processes that smaller problem, and passes the answer back to its master node. In the "Reduce", the master node then takes the answers of the sub-problems and combines them to get the final output after reduces. The advantage of MapReduce is that, it allows for distributed processing of the map and reduction operations, assuming each operation is independent of the other, all can be executed in parallel.
We found that file writes and reads to the distributed file system, have an overhead especially for smaller data sizes of the order of few tens of GB’s. Our solution provides the MapReduce framework built over Comet framework utilizing TCP sockets for communication and coordination and uses in-memory operations for data whenever possible. The objective of this thesis is to
(1) understand the behaviors and limitations of MapReduce in the case of small-moderate datasets
(2) develop coordination and interaction framework to complement MapReduce-Hadoop to address these shortcomings
(3) demonstrate and evaluate using a real world application
In this thesis we use Comet and its services to build a MapReduce infrastructure that address the above requirements - specifically enable pull based scheduling of Map tasks as well as stream based coordination and data exchange. The framework is based on the master-worker concept. Comet is a decentralized (peer-to-peer) computational infrastructure that supports applications having high computational requirement.
Our System’s interfaces are similar to the Hadoop MapReduce framework, to make applications built on Hadoop easily portable to Comet-based framework. The details of the implementation and evaluation of an actual pharmaceutical problem, with its results have been described. We found that out solution can be used to accelerate the computations of medium sized data by delaying or avoiding the use of distributed file reads and writes.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 58-59)by Shivangi Chaudhar

No full textCOMPARISON BETWEEN CAUDAL BUPIVACAINE AND CAUDAL MIDAZOLAM FOR POST OPERATIVE ANALGESIA IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS
No full textObjective: To evaluate the efficacy and side effect of caudal Bupivacaine as compared to caudal Midazolam for providing post operative analgesia in children.
Material and method: It was a prospective, open label, randomized study on 50 patients aged between 1-12 yrs of American society of anesthesiologist (ASA) grade I and II posted for below umbilical surgery under standardized general anesthesia. After induction, patients were allocated randomly into two groups. Gropup-1 received caudal block with inj. Bupivacaine (0.25%) 1ml/kg and Group-2 received caudal block with inj. Midazolam 50 µg/kg+ saline 1ml/kg. Children were continuously observed in recovery room for 20 minutes after which they were shifted to general ward. In ward OPS (observer pain scale) score was recorded at 0.5,2,4,8,12 and 24 hours after surgery.
Result: Pain score was comparable for initial half an hour postoperatively for both the groups but at 2, 4, and 8 hrs postoperatively Group-1 had low OPS compare to Group-2. The overall need for rescue analgesic was lower in Group-1 compare to Group-2.
Conclusion: We concluded that analgesic effect was longer and lesser need for rescue analgesic in the postoperative period in Bupivacaine group compare to Midazolam group
Local anesthetic agents along with hyaluronidase for inguinal hernia block provides excellent analgesia: a double blind study
No full textBackground: Inguinal hernia block is cost effective, but fear of intra-operative pain may hinder its widespread use. It is unknown whether hyaluronidase along with local anesthetic agent provides good analgesia for hernia block. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of hyaluronidase along with local anesthetic agents for inguinal hernia block in patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty.Methods: 50 patients ASA grade I and II, age above 18 years, undergoing inguinal hernioplasty were randomized into two groups. Group A received inguinal hernia block with local anesthetic agents without hyaluronidase and Group B received inguinal hernia block with hyaluronidase and local anesthetic agents. Both groups received premedication 10 minutes before induction in the form of inj. Fentanyl, Midazolam, Ranitidine and OndansetronResults: In Group B, out of 25 patients only 4 patients required intraoperative analgesia while in group A 16 patients required intraoperative analgesia. Post operative pain was assessed for 24 hours using the pain rating scale. The mean duration of analgesia was significantly longer in group B (16.16±6.8780 hrs) compared to group A (7.32±2.5285 hrs); pain score was compared between the two groups. Group B had lower pain scores than group A which was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: It concludes that hyaluronidase with local anesthetic agent for inguinal hernia block provides excellent intraoperative analgesia and also prolongs the post operative analgesia

Changing pattern of prescribing antidiabetic agents in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus
No full textBackground: Drug utilization studies are powerful exploratory tools to ascertain the role of drugs in society. They create a sound sociomedical and health economic basis for healthcare decision making. The study was aimed to find out the changing pattern of prescribing the antidiabetic agents in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2.Methods: It was a cross sectional study done on 200 patients suffering from type 1 and 2diabetes. Indoor patients and diabetes mellitus due to secondary cause were excluded. Each patient was followed up over a period of 1 year and the analysis of the prescriptions was done during that period. At end of study only 129 patients could be included for analysis.Results: In this study the maximal change in medicine was with pioglitazone which was discontinued as a 1st change in 6.2% of patients followed by metformin [5.4%], insulin [4.6%], and glipizide [3.8%]. The drug most commonly added as a first change was glipizide [11.6%] followed by metformin [10.0%] and pioglitazone [7.7%]. In order of 2nd change the most common drug discontinued was insulin [4.6%] followed by pioglitazone [3.8%] whereas drug commonly added as second change was insulin [2.3%] followed by glipizide [1.5%] and pioglitazone [1.5%]. In our cross sectional study average onset of 1st change was found to be at 4.38±2.75 months for discontinuation of drug and 3.75±2.42 months in adding the drugs.Conclusions: Due to lack of certain records, it is envisaged that the change of medicine both discontinuation as well as addition was done because of blood glucose control, cost factor [in case of pioglitazone] as well as patient’s compliance
POST MARKETING SURVEILLANCE STUDY ON RISPERIDONE IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM SCHIZOPHRENIA
No full textSchizophrenia is one of the commonest psychiatric ailments. It has been estimated that approximately 1% of the population and 15% of the adults suffers from this disease.
Risperidone, atypical antipsychotic, acts mainly by 5HT2 blockade action. Produce virtually no extra pyramidal side effects at low dose, has a broad efficacy. But extra pyramidal dysfunction can appear at higher doses. We conducted a post marketing surveillance study on risperidone in 40 patients suffering from schizophrenia at Psychiatric department of Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. In this study we specially studied its efficacy and safety. The results of this study are consistent with phase III clinical studies on risperidone carried out in Indian patients except its effects on food intake. As far as the efficacy of risperidone in patient with schizophrenia is concerned, it provided good symptomatic relief In term of safety, 7 patients out of 40, experience adverse effects like decrease appetite, constipation, insomnia, EPS and NMS. Patient with NMS was admitted in hospital and was died later on.
