Insulin resistance (IR), a metabolic risk factor, is linked to the pathogenetic mechanism of primary hypertension. Detecting IR in the patients with hypertension will help to predict and stratify the added cardiovascular risk, institute appropriate IR management, and manage hypertension optimally. There are many methods for assessing IR, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. The euglycemic insulin clamp and intravenous glucose tolerance test, gold standards for measuring IR, are used in research but not in clinical practice. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR), a method for assessing β-cell function and IR, is frequently applied presently, particularly in Asia. Besides, the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) first published by South American authors showed a good correlation with the insulin clamp technique and HOMA-IR index. This simple, convenient, and low-cost TyG index is of research interest in many countries in Asia and can be used to screen for IR in the Asian hypertensive community.
To evaluate the refractive precision of three-piece versus one-piece intraocular lenses (IOLs) in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) and changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD) following cataract surgery.

This prospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series included PXF eyes, which were implanted with one-piece acrylic IOL or three-piece acrylic IOLs (Group A; n=31, Group B; n=30). Non-PXF control eyes were implanted with one-piece acrylic IOL (Group C; n=30). Postoperative refractive error (RE) and absolute RE, as well as pre- to postoperative ACD changes, were statistically analysed. A p value<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Changes in ACD (mean±standard deviation) in Groups A, B and C were 0.9±0.4, 1.0±0.3 and 0.7±0.4mm, respectively. https://www.selleckchem.com/ Significant differences were found between Groups A and C (p=0.043) and between Groups B and C (p=0.008). In Groups A, B and C, the median and interquartile (Q1 to Q3) values were 0.3 (-0.8 to 1.0), -0.5 (-0.8 to -0.3) and 0.1 (-0.4 to 0.3) for RE and 1.0 (0.4 to 1.3), 0.5 (0.3 to 0.8) and 0.3 (0.3 to 0.5) for absolute RE, respectively. The RE differences between Group A and B (p=0.009) and Group B and C (p<0.001) were statistically significant. For absolute RE, the differences were significant for all comparisons (p<0.05).

Refractive precision in PXF eyes may be better with three-piece than with one-piece IOL implantation, but worse than with one-piece IOL implantation in non-PXF eyes. Significant changes in ACD in PXF eyes may be related to RE.

To compare six nutrient profiling models for suitability in food marketing to children regulation.

Products (n = 220) advertised at transport hubs were classified as eligible/ineligible to be advertised to children using an Australian government developed guide (Council of Australian Governments), the Health Star Rating system before and after the modifications made in 2020, World Health Organization Western Pacific Region and Europe nutrient profile criterion and the NOVA food classification system. Agreement between models was determined using Cohen's Kappa.

The Council of Australian Governments' guide was able to classify more products than the other models (n = 210) and was easy to use as it did not require nutrition information. It agreed most closely with NOVA (moderate agreement). The proportion of foods classified as eligible to be marketed (most strict) was lowest for NOVA (10%), similar for Council of Australian Governments and the World Health Organisation models (16%-17%) and highest for Health Star Rating models (26%-28%).

The Council of Australian Governments' guide provides simple, easy to use profiling criteria aligned with Australian dietary advice. Political will is now required to incorporate a profiling model within government-endorsed food marketing regulation.

In practice, the input is typically a set of unprocessed polygonal surfaces coming either from a template geometry or from medical images. These surfaces need ad-hoc processing to be suitable for a volumetric mesh generation. In this work we propose a set of new algorithms and tools aiming to facilitate the mesh generation process. In particular, we focus on different aspects of a cardiac mesh generation pipeline (1) specific polygonal surface processing for cardiac geometries, like connection of different heart chambers or segmentation outputs; (2) generation of accurate boundary tags; (3) definition of mesh-size functions dependent on relevant geometric quantities; (4) processing and connecting together several volumetric meshes. The new algorithms-implemented in the open-source software vmtk-can be combined with each other allowing the creation of personalized pipelines, that can be optimized for each cardiac geometry or for each aspect of the cardiac function to be modeled. Thanks to these features, the proposed tools can significantly speed-up the mesh generation process for a large range of cardiac applications, from single-chamber single-physics simulations to multi-chambers multi-physics simulations. We detail all the proposed algorithms motivating them in the cardiac context and we highlight their flexibility by showing different examples of cardiac mesh generation pipelines.African swine fever (ASF) is the most dreaded disease of pigs, which can cause mortality of up to 100%. Following disease outbreaks with high mortality in pigs in two states of north-east India, namely Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in early 2020, we confirmed the first occurrence of African swine fever (ASF) in domestic pigs in India by real-time PCR, virus isolation and nucleotide sequencing. Genetic analyses in three independent genomic regions (B646L gene encoding the p72 protein, E183L gene encoding the p54 protein and the central variable region (CVR) of B602L gene) showed that the Indian ASF viruses are similar to the post-2007-p72-genotype II viruses reported from Asia and Europe, suggesting the transboundary expansion of ongoing ASF outbreaks in the region.
