Platelet Parameters in Nonthrombocytopenic Preeclampsia: A Case-Control Study

Background: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific, multisystem condition characterized by the onset of de novo hypertension and proteinuria occurring in previously normotensive women after the twentieth week of pregnancy. Pregnancy is associated with a physiological adaptation that leads to changes in the hematological system including platelet parameters.                                     

Objectives: Is to compare platelet count, and platelet indices, namely mean platelet volume platelet distribution width and platelet count to mean platelet volume MPV ratio in preeclamptic patients with normal pregnant women.           

Patients & methods: A case-control study was carried out in the obstetrics and gynecology department at Al-Khansaa Maternity and Childhood Teaching Hospital, Mosul, Iraq over a period extending from February 2020 to the end of December 2020. A sample of 120 pregnant women participated in the study fulfilling inclusion criteria. Sixty of them were diagnosed with preeclampsia PE (30 pregnant women with mild PE and 30 pregnant women with severe PE) and sixty healthy pregnant women as the control group. Platelet count, mean platelet volume, and platelet distribution width (PDW) were measured and statistical analysis by mini tab program was done for all collected data.

Results: A significant linear correlation between mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) with mean arterial pressure in the Preeclampsia group with p-value of (0.025 and 0.001) respectively and a significant inverse correlation between the platelet count and mean arterial pressure with a p-value of (<0.001) was observed.

Conclusion: Platelet parameters are cost-effective, easily measurable, and practical markers that can be used for the monitoring of preeclampsia. Mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) have a significant linear correlation with mean arterial pressure in severe preeclampsia and can be used as a biomarker for the severity of preeclampsia in high-risk pregnant women.

A Proposed Adaptive Bitrate Scheme Based on Bandwidth Prediction Algorithm for Smoothly Video Streaming

A robust video-bitrate adaptive scheme at client-aspect plays a significant role in keeping a good quality of video streaming technology experience. Video quality affects the amount of time the video has turned off playing due to the unfilled buffer state. Therefore to maintain a video streaming continuously with smooth bandwidth fluctuation, a video buffer structure based on adapting the video bitrate is considered in this work. Initially, the video buffer structure is formulated as an optimal control-theoretic problem that combines both video bitrate and video buffer feedback signals. While protecting the video buffer occupancy from exceeding the limited operating level can provide continuous video str

A Class of Harmonic Multivalent Functions for Higher Derivatives Associated with General Linear Operator

    The main goal of this paper is to introduce the higher derivatives multivalent harmonic function class, which is defined by the general linear operator. As a result, geometric properties such as coefficient estimation, convex combination, extreme point, distortion theorem and convolution property are obtained. Finally, we show that this class is invariant under the Bernandi-Libera-Livingston integral for harmonic functions.

Photometry Technique to Map Elements’ Distribution on Comets’ Nuclei Surfaces Using a New Method

This study is unique in this field. It represents a mix of three branches of technology: photometry, spectroscopy, and image processing. The work treats the image by treating each pixel in the image based on its color, where the color means a specific wavelength on the RGB line; therefore, any image will have many wavelengths from all its pixels. The results of the study are specific and identify the elements on the nucleus’s surface of a comet, not only the details but also their mapping on the nucleus. The work considered 12 elements in two comets (Temple 1 and 67P/Churyumoy-Gerasimenko). The elements have strong emission lines in the visible range, which were recognized by our MATLAB program in the treatment of the image. The percen

A novel method for non-invasively detecting the severity and location of aortic aneurysms

The influence of an aortic aneurysm on blood flow waveforms is well established, but how to exploit this link for diagnostic purposes still remains challenging. This work uses a combination of experimental and computational modelling to study how aneurysms of various size affect the waveforms. Experimental studies are carried out on fusiform-type aneurysm models, and a comparison of results with those from a one-dimensional fluid–structure interaction model shows close agreement. Further mathematical analysis of these results allows the definition of several indicators that characterize the impact of an aneurysm on waveforms. These indicators are then further studied in a computational model of a systemic blood flow network. This demonstr

Convergence and Stability of Iterative Scheme for a Monotone Total Asymptotically Non-expansive Mapping

    In this work, we introduce Fibonacci– Halpern iterative scheme ( FH scheme) in partial ordered Banach space (POB space) for monotone total asymptotically non-expansive mapping (, MTAN mapping) that defined on weakly compact convex subset.  We also  discuss the results of weak and strong convergence for this scheme.

 Throughout  this work, compactness condition of m-th iterate  of the mapping for some natural m is necessary to ensure strong convergence, while Opial's condition has been employed to show weak convergence. Stability of FH scheme is also  studied. A numerical comparison is provided by an example to show that FH scheme is faster than Mann and Halpern iterative

Building a Sustainable GARCH Model to Forecast Rubber Price: Modified Huber Weighting Function Approach

The unstable and uncertain nature of natural rubber prices makes them highly volatile and prone to outliers, which can have a significant impact on both modeling and forecasting. To tackle this issue, the author recommends a hybrid model that combines the autoregressive (AR) and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models. The model utilizes the Huber weighting function to ensure the forecast value of rubber prices remains sustainable even in the presence of outliers. The study aims to develop a sustainable model and forecast daily prices for a 12-day period by analyzing 2683 daily price data from Standard Malaysian Rubber Grade 20 (SMR 20) in Malaysia. The analysis incorporates two dispersion measurements (I
