“…21 infants born too large for their gestational age and infants born with greater birth weight, while the incidence is very diverse. (10,11) Studies conducted worldwide indicate the differences in ROP incidence: Mathew and associates (12) from Scotland 4.8%, Pishava and associates (13) from Iran 9.5%, Yang and associates (14) from China 25%, Karna and associates (15) from the USA 7.8%, Ahmed and associates (16) from Bangladesh 4.4%, Wani and associates (17) from Kuwait 7.8%. The study of Hussain and as-sociates (18) indicates a significant reduction in incidence and severity of ROP due to the application of surfactant.…”

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants. Our study was conducted in order to determine which risk factors lead to the development of retinopathy of prematurity. This retrospective study included 108 newborns with birth weight (BW) < 1500 g and gestation age (GA) < 33 weeks, over the period of two years, who were treated at the Clinic of Pediatric, University Hospital, Clinic Centre Banja Luka. In all preterm children, the impact of risk factors conditioned preterm birth (gestational age and birth weight), parameters of general health status (respiratory distress syndrome, apnea, perinatal asphyxia, frequent use of blood derivatives, sepsis, hyperbilirubinemia) and parameters of the treatment with oxygen therapy. Out of 108 infants who fit the screening criteria, ROP was detected in 64 (59.2%) infants, 21(19.4%) of which had severe ROP requiring surgical intervention. Severe ROP was expressed in only 7.8% (5/64) of infants with GA > 30 weeks and in 12.5% (8/64) of infants with BW > 1250 g, compared to 25% (16/64) of infants with GA < 30 weeks and 20.3% (13/64) of infants with BW < 1250 g. The incidence of severe ROP was statistically significantly more frequent with progressively smaller birth weight BW < 1250 g (p <0.01) and the lower GA (gestational age) < 30 weeks (p <0.01). Using multiple logistic regression analysis for ROP, a long-term oxygen therapy (OR,15:54CI, 1.99-120.79) and a long duration of mechanical ventilation (OR,9.97; CI,3.06-32.51), there were obtained factors with a strong connection to the development of severe ROP. The following factors have a slightly lower correlation to the development of severe ROP: birth weight < 1250 g, gestation age < 30 weeks, respiratory distress syndrome, apnea, frequent use of blood derivatives and early sepsis. Prematurity and low birth weight are significant risk factors for the development of ROP. Compromised pulmonary function with long-term oxygen therapy and frequent use of blood derivatives are important factors in the development of severe ROP.

“…[1][2][3] Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase in order to increase the metabolism of LDL-cholesterol in hepatocytes. However, due to its low solubility 4 and pre-systemic clearance in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, 5,6 the therapeutic effect of atorvastatin is impaired. 7 Meanwhile, atorvastatin uptake by cells other than hepatocytes leads to various dose-related side effects such as myopathy and muscle pain.…”

Targeted drug delivery platforms can increase the concentration of drugs in specific cell populations, reduce adverse effects, and hence improve the therapeutic effect of drugs. Herein, we designed two conjugates by installing the targeting ligand GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine) onto atorvastatin (AT). Compared to the parent drug, these two conjugates, termed G2-AT and G2-K-AT, showed increased hepatic cellular uptake. Moreover, both conjugates were able to release atorvastatin, and consequently showed dramatic inhibition of β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase and increased LDL receptors on cell surface.

“…Due to these kind of applications must provide a timeliness performance since they are dealing with health issues such as illness and continuous medical supervision, these applications must operate with minimum possible delay. In other words, a base station should no experiment delays from the information collected by the sensors [1,2].…”

In this paper we propose the usage of a prediction technique based on Markov Chains to predict nodes positions with the aim of obtain short paths at minimum energy consumption. Specifically, the valuable information from the mobility prediction method is provided to our distributed routing algorithm in order to take the best network decisions considering future states of network resources. In this sense, in each network node, the mobility method employed is based on a Markov model to forecast future RSSI states of neighboring nodes for determining if they will be farther or closer within the next steps. The approach is evaluated considering different algorithms such as: Distance algorithm, Distance Away algorithm and Random algorithm. In addition, with the aim of performing comparisons against optimal values, we present a mathematical optimization model for finding the minimum cost path between a source and a destination node considering all network nodes are mobile. This paper is an extended variant of [8].
