Expanding the spectrum of gene-associated reflex seizures: A case report of a “bidet-induced” reflex epilepsy

In this case report, we present the case of a 20-month-old girl who manifested paroxysmal “bidet-induced” episodes characterized by impaired awareness, pallor, and hypotonia, with a duration of less than a minute. Initial neurological examination yielded unremarkable results, prompting further investigation. A video-electroencephalogram recording documented the epileptic nature of these episodes, revealing an ictal discharge originating from the right central-temporal region. A brain magnetic resonance imaging exhibited a sulcal/gyral asymmetry within the central sulci, along with the presence of the “power button sign” within the right central sulcus. These findings were indicative of a focal cortical dysplasia type-2. Subsequent genetic analysis through a gene panel identified the presence of an NPRL2 variant. Mutations affecting this particular gene are known to disrupt the normal functioning of the GATOR1 complex, potentially causing focal cortical dysplasia and various forms of epilepsy, including familial focal epilepsy with variable foci. On the diagnosis, the patient received levetiracetam, and the ictal episodes promptly ceased. At the most recent follow-up (at 4 years old), the patient remained free of seizures without the need for any treatment, and her neurodevelopment so far had exhibited no abnormalities. Considering the landscape of epilepsy-related GATOR1 variants, it is conceivable that this gene family may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of benign forms of focal reflex seizures, including bathing epilepsy.

Wireless point-of-care ultrasound in a multiplace hyperbaric chamberWireless point-of-care ultrasound in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber

Background: Electronic devices remain highly restricted from use during hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO2) due to risk of fire in a pressurized, oxygen-rich environment. Over recent decades, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has established utility in most clinical environments except hyperbaric chambers, where only heavily-modified POCUS devices have been used.This study evaluated proof-of-concept, safety, and performance of a wireless off-the-shelf handheld POCUS device in the hyperbaric environment. Materials and Methods: The GE Vscan Air was initially tested in a Class C chamber with 100% nitrogen to up to 4.0 ATA and monitored. Second, the Vscan was paired with an encased Apple iPad, tested previously for hyperbaric use, and both were pressurized to 2.4 ATA in a Class A chamber (21% oxygen) and evaluated. Similarly, it was then tested at 2.8 ATA and also paired wirelessly with an iPad outside the chamber. Device temperature, image quality, functionality, and wireless connection were tested continuously. Results: The GE Vscan Air automatically shut off due to power button depression during initial compression; thus the power button was punctured with an 18-gauge needle to equalize gas pressure. Thereafter, the system performed well throughout all tests without degradation in function or image quality. The device did not overheat nor reach temperatures concerning for fire hazard. Further, wireless connection to out-of-chamber devices was maintained. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the GE Vscan Air can be used with minor modification in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber. Wireless functionality allows for pairing with a screen and device outside the chamber.

This functionality makes it an ideal tool for everyone by assisting with genuine crises and everyday safety. Anyone can utilize this smart program 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for free.

플립식 폴더블 폰 물리적 버튼의 인간공학적 설계

Objective: The main purpose of this research is to study the physical button shape of the flip-type foldable phone, which can provide optimal usability and operational satisfaction during a one-handed gripping.<BR><BR>Background: Foldable phones which with larger screens and two different states (Unfolded, Folded) brings difficulties due to poor operability and grip comfort. Furthermore, the physical button of the smartphone has not yet been properly researched to guarantee optimal performance. Therefore, there is a need to ergonomically determine the shape and layout of the physical button that can manipulate the device stably and effectively that is mainly used with one hand.<BR><BR>Method: In this paper, two usability experiments were designed and conducted. In the prior experiment, 8 button length combinations of 2 buttons (9~17, 9~20.5, 9~24, 13~17, 13~20.5, 13~24, 17~20.5, 17~24mm) and 3 combinations of protrusion of 2 buttons (PYVY: both power and volume buttons are protruded, PYVN: power button is protruded while volume button is not, PNVY: power button is not protruded, and volume button is). So, a total of 24 combinations were tested. The dependent variables were evaluated by collecting the operability preference (7-point scale) as a subjective index, and the error rate as an objective index. In the main experiment, 6 physical button layouts were provided, and the optimal layout was obtained in two states by collecting and evaluating the user

Construction of a Power Source Protective Device

One of the major problems encountered in power electronics is that associated with voltage irregularity and instability (excess or under voltage). Devices from simple Cut-off fuse to sophisticated voltage Regulators, TV guards, etc. have been built to protect appliances and keep them functioning optimally. This is protecting appliances from power sources. What about protecting power sources against appliances? When appliances demand more power than a source is capable, it often leads to interruption in the operation or sometimes damages in the power source. In this work, we have designed, constructed and tested an electronic device to protect low power sources (such as domestic electric generators, inverter systems, etc.) especially when an attempt to drive heavy power appliances is made. This device was designed based on the operation of automatic switches which make use of microcontrollers. Use was made of a 10A relay that switches the line, a relay driver circuit to drive the main relay, an arduino Uno board that contains the set of instructions, a dc power supply, a 15A socket, a pushbutton switch and two indicator lights. The testing showed that generally, appliances connected to the device will not get energized, even though the appliance’s power button is ON. At this point, only a red LED will be glowing showing that the device is receiving power but the power is not transferred to the load. When the user is sure that the power source can drive the appliance(s), the pushbutton switch is pressed and the green LED also begins to glow, showing that the appliance is powered. This result is exactly what the circuit is meant to achieve.

IMPROVED INTELLIGENT BASE TECHNIQUE FOR PATH AND SOLUTION IN ROBOTIC USING PREWILL EDGE DETECTION PARADIGM

The major contribution in this research paper is concerned with the development of a humanoid robot using edge detection technique which selects features of the principal parts of the object and eliminates parts that are not necessary. The developed prototype of the motorized robot shows that robots in real life exhibit some level of intelligence. In the design process, the model of a humanoid robot was developed first using the simulink library tools in Matlab/Simulink environment. This research paper has improved autonomous path finding robots by incorporating very powerful and well-structured program/codes that gives the robot the ability to predict and make smart decision lending to efficient execution of desired assignment (picking of dirt in the surrounding).Result shows that the developed robot has simplified the way No robot interacts with object thereby saving cost and energy. A motorized autonomous path finding robot was designed and constructed to demonstrate the working principle of robot. The motorized robot and the humanoid robot have the capability to detect obstacle along its part at 30cm away from the obstacle. When the robot is switched on, it initializes after which forward movement until it gets 30cm closer to an obstacle it then stops, reverse backwards and then change direction. When it moves 30cm close to another obstacle, it stops reverse backwards, then turns left or right to another direction, and will continue to behave that way until the power button is switched off.

Eavesdropping Vulnerability and Countermeasure in Infrared Communication for IoT Devices.

Infrared (IR) communication is one of the wireless communication methods mainly used to manipulate consumer electronics devices. Traditional IR devices support only simple operations such as changing TV channels. These days, consumer electronic devices such as smart TV are connected to the internet with the introduction of IoT. Thus, the user’s sensitive information such as credit card number and/or personal information could be entered with the IR remote. This situation raises a new problem. Since TV and the set-top box are visual media, these devices can be used to control and/or monitor other IoT devices at home. Therefore, personal information can be exposed to eavesdroppers. In this paper, we experimented with the IR devices’ reception sensitivity using remotes. These experiments were performed to measure the IR reception sensitivity in terms of distance and position between the device and the remote. According to our experiments, the transmission distance of the IR remote signal is more than 20 m. The experiments also revealed that curtains do not block infrared rays. Consequently, eavesdropping is possible to steal the user’s sensitive information. This paper proposes a simple, practical, and cost-effective countermeasure against eavesdropping, which does not impose any burden on users. Basically, encryption is used to prevent the eavesdropping. The encryption key is created by recycling a timer inside the microcontroller typically integrated in a remote. The key is regenerated whenever the power button on a remote is pressed, providing the limited lifecycle of the key. The evaluation indicates that the XOR-based encryption is practical and effective in terms of the processing time and cost.

Automatic recognition of specific local cortical folding patterns

The study of local cortical folding patterns showed links with psychiatric illnesses as well as cognitive functions. Despite the tools now available to visualize cortical folds in 3D, manually classifying local sulcal patterns is a time-consuming and tedious task. In fact, 3D visualization of folds helps experts to identify different sulcal patterns but fold variability is so high that the distinction between these patterns sometimes requires the definition of complex criteria, making manual classification difficult and not reliable. However, the assessment of the impact of these patterns on the functional organization of the cortex could benefit from the study of large databases, especially when studying rare patterns. In this paper, several algorithms for the automatic classification of fold patterns are proposed to allow morphological studies to be extended and confirmed on such large databases. Three methods are proposed, the first based on a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, the second on the Scoring by Non-local Image Patch Estimator (SNIPE) approach and the third based on a 3D Convolution Neural Network (CNN). These methods are generic enough to be applicable to a wide range of folding patterns. They are tested on two types of patterns for which there is currently no method to automatically identify them: the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) patterns and the Power Button Sign (PBS). The two ACC patterns are almost equally present whereas PBS is a particularly rare pattern in the general population. The three models proposed achieve balanced accuracies of approximately 80% for ACC patterns classification and 60% for PBS classification. The CNN-based model is more interesting for the classification of ACC patterns thanks to its rapid execution. However, SVM and SNIPE-based models are more effective in managing unbalanced problems such as PBS recognition.

Use of bioassay CG (Colour Graduation) to determine density of Skeletonema sp. at hatchery

The natural food that is often used in hatcheries is Skeletonema sp. Phytoplankton provision of Skeletonema sp. on fish larvae or seeds carried out in hatcheries tend to be based on estimates and experiences while in the field. This study aims to obtain indicators that can be used in estimating the range of cell density of Skeletonema sp. just by looking at the Bioassay CG (Colour Graduation) kit. This research was conducted at the CV. Puncak Sinunggal, Barru Regency. In this study, researchers use a black CG Bioassay prototype in the form of a box equipped with LED lights, batteries, a colour indicator paper kit, 150 mL glass beaker, and a power button. Samples were observed in the exponential phase or 24 hours after the inoculation was diluted by adding culture media to obtain several different colour gradations. The dilution carried out is mixing between samples with culture media with each ratio, beaker glass (BG)1 (10: 0); BG 2 (9: 1); BG 3 (8: 2); BG 4 (7: 3); BG 5 (6: 4); BG 6 (5: 5); BG 7 (4: 6); BG 8 (3: 7); BG 9 (2: 8) and BG 10 (1: 9). Each treatment was carried out three replications and assisted by 9 panelists. The results showed 10 different colour Skeletonema sp. cell density increases with colour change, where the lowest range is in the S10 colour with density 38-75×104 cells.mL-1 and the highest in S1 colour with a density of 612-740×104 cells.mL-1.

“Branket” Design as a Safe Deposit Box Security System using Arduino-Based Tap Sensor

Safe is a safe place to store valuables or documents. Because they are usually made of strong and hard materials, a safe is a place to store valuables and important documents in the event of a natural disaster or fire. In addition, the safe is also equipped with a locking system so that it can also be used to secure valuables or documents from theft. Usually, safes are used by agencies or companies and the general public who have valuable items or documents. Safe security systems that have been used generally use either a manual lock, a rotary lock, or a digital lock. There are several security system developments in the safe, including using a microcontroller-based password and fingerprint code, a fingerprint sensor and an Arduino UNO-based RF remote control, using a microcontroller via SMS and FSK facilities, and other developments in the safe security system. “Branket” (Tap Safe) is a safe with a smart lock system using a knock pattern. The bracket is composed of several electronic components, mainly a microcontroller, a solenoid lock, and a piezoelectric knock sensor. The workflow for using the bracket begins by pressing the power button to turn on the bracket. Then the user sticks his hand into the small space to store or opens the safe by tapping the sensor according to the pattern. Increased security on the bank account includes a locking system with a secret knock pattern, easy to remember by the owner, faster opening of the safe, and the process of opening the safe is difficult for others to know. It is hoped that “branket” will become a new innovation in a unique locking system that still has a high level of security.

Implementation of Automatic Dust Detector on Dust Suppression System on Transfer Tower 0 In Paiton 9 Power Plants

&lt;p&gt;The operation of dust suppressor and dust collector was operating semi-manually by pressing the power button on the local panel during the initial unloading of coal material from the barge or stockpile, where local operators manage several large areas. This research is carried out on the implementation of Automatic Dust Detector for Dust Suppression operational at Paiton Unit 9 power plants with the aim of increasing the efficiency of operator and equipment performance. We use House of Quality (HOQ) as a determinant of the priority scale for technical response to be implemented, namely the addition of an Automatic Dust Detector. The results obtained showed a decrease in the calculation of the dust suppression operating time, i.e. from 5 hour 54 minutes to 5 hour 6 minutes, from 1005,36L/barge to 869,04L/barge for water consumption, and 1L/barge to 0,86L/barge for chemical use. Furthermore, the implementation of the Automatic Dust Detector can significantly increase efficiency at least 15% from operating time difference. &lt;/p&gt;

Collecting big data with small screens: Group tests of children\u2019s cognition with touchscreen tablets are reliable and valid

Collecting experimental cognitive data with young children usually requires undertaking one-on-one assessments, which can be both expensive and time-consuming. In addition, there is increasing acknowledgement of the importance of collecting larger samples for improving statistical power Button et al. (Nature Reviews Neuroscience 14(5), 365–376, 2013), and reproducing exploratory findings Open Science Collaboration (Science, 349(6251), aac4716–aac4716 2015). One way both of these goals can be achieved more easily, even with a small team of researchers, is to utilize group testing. In this paper, we evaluate the results from a novel tablet application developed for the Resilience in Education and Development (RED) Study. The RED-app includes 12 cognitive tasks designed for groups of children aged 7 to 13 to independently complete during a 1-h school lesson. The quality of the data collected was high despite the lack of one-on-one engagement with participants. Most outcomes from the tablet showed moderate or high reliability, estimated using internal consistency metrics. Tablet-measured cognitive abilities also explained more than 50% of variance in teacher-rated academic achievement. Overall, the results suggest that tablet-based, group cognitive assessments of children are an efficient, reliable, and valid method of collecting the large datasets that modern psychology requires. We have open-sourced the scripts and materials used to make the application, so that they can be adapted and used by others.

Smart Band – an Integrated Device for Emergency Management

In the event of a kidnapping or a medical emergency, a person is often incapacitated to be able to call for help. And it’s usually too late before the first responders arrive on-scene. Currently, a vast array of ‘safety’ devices available in the market are often far too rudimentary such as double tapping the power button that isn’t very practical, or an app on a smart watch that is a huge investment in the first place. The Smart Band aims to eliminate the need for a physical trigger by the person who finds himself in dangerous situations like kidnapping, front-facing some wild animal, heart attack, etc., and rather senses the heartbeat. The Smart Band is designed as a personalized wearable device, wherein the user heart beat rate is collected and trained using machine learning algorithm, which triggers the alert system automatically when the event is identified. Hence the accuracy of assessing emergency situation will be high and false rate will be reduced. As soon as the event is detected, the band relays GPS coordinates to first responders and emergency contacts, which will be sent via the Network Carrier (SIM card module) directly from the band, not relying on a mobile phone, which is usually out of reach during such emergency situations. In essence, the Smart Band consists of a GPS tracker, a heartbeat sensor, a Network module, and a Bluetooth module, all existing technologies which have been mass produced to an extent that the end product can be made affordable, and in huge quantities as well. On further development the smart band can be customized to a finely wearable jewel which can serve the purpose autonomously.

A Review of Mary South's You Will Never Be Forgotten

A Review of Mary South's You Will Never Be Forgotten Vince Granata (bio) A Review of Mary South's You Will Never Be Forgotten Vince Granata New York, NY: FSG Originals, 2020. 256 pages. $15.00 When a mother loses her nine-year-old daughter, she discovers a way to circumvent grief. She plans a "rebirth," a subsequent child, a duplicate for the daughter she'd lost. "If our baby was returning to us, there was nothing to grieve," she explains. The mother painstakingly reenacts her first daughter's life with her genetic copy. A first kiss, the death of a pet, and birthday parties are all scripted and choreographed to occur as they had before. Through control of this duplicate daughter, the mother tries to resurrect the child she lost. Grief is a feral thing in Mary South's stunning debut story collection You Will Never Be Forgotten. The wounded mother in South's "Not Setsuko," is one of many characters who look for a balm for uncontrollable feelings—grief, rage, desperation. Across ten stories, South inhabits people grasping to stay tethered to their ghosts. Loss and trauma are not easily bandaged. Wounds stay open, leave caverns to fill and fill. Trauma infantilizes a group of men, leaves them groveling for taboo maternal intimacy while they bicker and fight, propping up each other's sadness at a hostel on the Turkish coast. A celebrated architect from a fractured family superimposes her daughter's birth defects onto designs for buildings, plans that twist and distort the human form. Loss compounds as a relator for the houses of the recently deceased mourns his wife. "A memory is altered each time it is recollected," South's protagonist claims. "Whenever I long for my wife I lose her more and more." In his grief he recognizes the totality of his haunting. "What can be more ghostly than missing someone so intensely that you can no longer remember her as she was?" _______ I've read a lot about grief. I look for characters like South's characters, people who struggle to bend their worlds into shape after trauma and loss, who clutch totems of memory for people who are gone. I used to read about grief to try to recognize myself, make sense of the ways I'd tried to hold onto my mother after I lost her suddenly. Then, I read books written like manuals, ways to measure progress in Kübler-Ross stages, daily meditations that trained focus forward to the next day, then the next, then the next. But nothing about my life felt linear. I clung to a voicemail from my mother, thirty-three seconds of her voice I'd saved on my phone. I almost lost it once. Months after she died, I fell into a river. My phone was in my pocket. I remember standing in a Verizon store—still soaking wet—while a man in a polo shirt told me to enter my name into a tablet. "Someone will take care of you," he said, looking away from where I dripped on the gray carpet. When an employee called my name, I thrust my phone forward, clutched its dark husk. "My phone died," I said. Then, near tears, "is my voicemail gone?" I looked at my thumb, still pressing the round power button, red flaring beneath my nail. I did a lot that surprised me after I lost my mother, acts more irrational than standing in a puddle in a Verizon Store. I still wonder about this person, who I'd become after trauma and loss. _______ "If you're reading this page, chances are you've recently heard that you need to have a craniotomy. Try not to worry." Through a hospital website's frequently [End Page 280] asked questions page, South inhabits the voice of a neurosurgeon addressing patient concerns. Though the document, ostensibly, aims to placate fears, South's surgeon offers direct—often lyrical, often wryly funny—descriptions of what appears within our skulls. "The blush of living brain has been described as resembling the inside of a conch shell or a crumbling marble quarry. To me, it's like the revelation...

Design and Implementation of a Walking Stick Aid for Visually Challenged People.

Visually challenged people (VCPs) face many difficulties in their routine life. Usually, in many cases, they need to depend upon others, which makes them unconfident in an unfamiliar environment. Thus, in this paper, we present an aid that helps in detecting obstacles and water puddles in their way. This system comprises a walking stick and Android-based applications (APPs). The walking stick is embedded with Raspberry Pi and programmable interface controller (PIC) as a control kernel, sensors, a global position system (GPS) module, and alert-providing components. Sensors help to detect obstacles, and the VCP is informed through vibrations or a buzzer according to the obstacle detected. The GPS module receives the coordinates of the VCP’s location, and the location can be tracked by parents using an APP. Another important APP is used, called an emergency APP, by which the VCP can communicate with parents or friends immediately by just shaking his/her cell phone or pushing the power button four times in 5 s in panic situations. We used fewer components to make the device simple, lighter, and cozy with very good features. This device will help VCPs to live an independent life up to some extent (with security), which ultimately will increase their confidence level in an unknown environment.
