Adult Dengue Fever in Bangladesh: A One-Sample Rank-Based Test of Hematologic Location Against Healthy References
...Show More Authors

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that produces characteristic abnormalities in routine blood tests, yet these hematologic changes are typically analysed separately for each parameter rather than as a combined multivariate profile. This study investigated whether the joint hematologic profile of adult dengue patients in Bangladesh is systematically displaced from healthy adult reference values. We analysed a cohort of laboratory-confirmed adult dengue cases from a Bangladeshi hospital and focused on four core hematologic indices: haemoglobin, white blood cell count, platelet count, and platelet distribution width (PDW). External adult reference means were used to define a healthy location vector, and robust multivariate inference was carried out using the rank-based location test of Utts and Hettmansperger (1980). Sex-specific (male, female) and pooled (all adults) analyses were performed after careful data cleaning, outlier diagnostics, and checks of non-normality. Across all sex-specific and pooled analyses, the same multivariate profile emerged: haemoglobin, white-cell, and platelet levels were consistently lower than their healthy reference means, whereas PDW was higher, indicating greater platelet-size variability. The Utts–Hettmansperger test strongly rejected the null hypothesis of equality with the healthy reference vector in every analysis, documenting a large and coherent displacement of the dengue group in the four-dimensional hematologic space. Taken together, these results provide robust, distribution-free statistical evidence that adult dengue fever in Bangladesh is associated with a stable, biologically interpretable shift in core blood indices, integrating leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and altered platelet morphology into a single multivariate summary. This study demonstrates that robust rank-based multivariate location tests can enhance traditional laboratory interpretation by quantifying the joint displacement of key blood indices in infectious-disease cohorts such as adult dengue.

Abstract 18956: Knowledge of and Attitude Towards Clinical Trials Among Women in Rural Areas: A Survey-Based Study
...Show More Authors

Introduction: In evidence-based era of cardiology with emerging of potential therapies, it is crucial to include diverse population in terms of (geography, gender, race, and economic status) in clinical trials (CT) to enhance generalizability of trials results. Such inclusion necessitates exploring barriers and motivators of diverse population for participation in CT. There is lack of data from Middle Eastern countries regarding perspectives of population about CT. Furthermore, there is no data about perceptions of Iraqi population in general and women in particular regarding CT.

A Face Mask Detection Method in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic Based on GLCM and YOLO
...Show More Authors

In recent decades, the identification of faces with and without masks from visual data, such as video and still images, has become a captivating research subject. This is primarily due to the global spread of the Corona pandemic, which has altered the appearance of the world and necessitated the use of masks as a vital measure for epidemic prevention. Intellectual development based on artificial intelligence and computers plays a decisive role in the issue of epidemic safety, as the topic of facial recognition and identifying individuals who wear masks or not was most prominent in the introduction and in-depth education. This research proposes the creation of an advanced system capable of accurately identifying faces, both with and

Background: Survey of the occlusion in population groups usually include in their objections the academic assessment of occlusal feature, the planning resources for public health treatment programmers, the comparison of different population and the screening of groups for orthodontic treatment. Likewise a thorough investigation of the occurrence of malocclusions among school–students would be of major importance in the planning of orthodontic treatment in the public dental health services. For this purpose it is necessary to have detailed information on the prevalence of individual malocclusion among boys and girls at different ages distributed regionally, and moreover, an analysis of the need for orthodontic treatment in the different sc
