    Abstract Adiponectin is an insulin sensitizing hormone that also plays a role in the regulation of inflammation. Although adiponectin can exert pro-inflammatory effects, more studies have reported anti-inflammatory effects, even in non-adipose tissues such as the lung. Obesity is considered an inflammatory disease, is a risk factor for lung diseases, and is associated with decreased levels of plasma adiponectin. The results of recent studies have suggested that adiponectin exerts anti-inflammatory activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and invasive fungal infection. The signaling receptors of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, are expressed by epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and immune cells in the lung. In this mini-review, we discuss the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of adiponectin in lung cells and tissues.

    Abstract This is the case of a 45-year-old male who presented with dysuria and gross hematuria. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed an enormous pelvic cystic lesion and a right nephromegaly but an invisible left kidney. Using the imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with Zinner syndrome. Transperitoneal laparoscopic excision of the cyst was performed for symptom relief. At post-treatment, the symptoms disappeared, and sexual function remained. Seminal vesicle cysts have been commonly reported in previous studies but rarely in this case. Furthermore, most previous studies have documented surgical excision of <10 cm cysts. However, a ∼12.5-cm seminal vesicle cyst was excised with the laparoscopic method without any perioperative complication in this case.

    Abstract FTI UK Petra akan membangun pabrik garmen mini yang membutuhkan robot otonom. Robot otonom ini akan melakukan tugas material handling dalam pabrik tersebut. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang perangkat lunak untuk mendukung tugas tersebut. Adapun robot otonom ini tergolong sebagai AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) karena dapat bergerak bebas pada lingkungan tanpa memerlukan bantuan garis atau tanda lainnya. Robot ini dilengkapi dengan sensor LIDAR untuk mendeteksi keadaan lingkungan sekitarnya secara 360 derajat. Dengan adanya sensor ini robot dapat melakukan pemetaan terhadap pabrik garmen dengan memanfaatkan metode SLAM. Robot juga dapat melakukan navigasi secara otonom dengan memanfaatkan pembacaan Sensor LIDAR dan algoritma DWA. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan, penulis menemukan bahwa perangkat lunak yang telah didesain mampu melakukan navigasi otonom dengan waktu yang kurang lebih sama dengan navigasi secara teleoperasi dan robot mampu mendeteksi QR Code pada jarak 10-20 cm menggunakan kamera. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini telah berhasil menghasilkan perangkat lunak untuk robot otonom yang akan digunakan pada pabrik garmen mini.

    Abstract Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are prosthetic-treatment devices for treating primary open-angle glaucoma. Despite their effectiveness in reducing intraocular pressures (IOP), endothelial cell damage (ECD) is a commonly known side-effect. There have been different hypotheses regarding the reasons for ECD with one being an induced increase in shear on the corneal wall. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used to investigate this hypothesis in silico. The Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) was selected as the subject of this study using an idealised 3D model of the anterior chamber with insertion angles and positions that are commonly used in clinical practice. It was found that a tube-cornea distance of 1.27 mm or greater does not result in a wall shear stress (WSS) above the limit where ECD could occur. Similarly, a tube-cornea angle of 45° or more was shown to be preferable. It was also found that the ECD region has an irregular shape, and the aqueous humour flow fluctuates at certain insertion angles and positions. This study shows that pathological amounts of WSS may occur as a result of certain GDD placements. Hence, it is imperative to consider the associated fluid force interactions when performing the GDD insertion procedure.

    Abstract Background: We aimed to explore the associations between thigh muscle fat density and vascular events.
    Methods: A total of 3,595 adults (mean age, 57.2 years; women, 1,715 [47.7%]) without baseline cardiovascular events from the Korean Atherosclerosis Study-2 were included. Muscle and fat area at the mid-thigh level were measured by computed tomography (CT) using the following Hounsfield Unit range: 0-30 for low density muscle (LDM); 31-100 for normal density muscle (NDM); and - 250 to - 50 for fat.
    Results: During a median follow-up period of 11.8 (4.3-13.9) years, vascular events occurred in 11.6% of men and 5.9% of women. Individuals with vascular events had a larger LDM area (men: 48.8 ± 15.5 cm
    Conclusions: The current study suggests that a higher thigh muscle fat infiltration is associated with an increased risk of developing vascular events among Korean adults.

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the utility of an Observation Unit (OU) in management of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and to identify the clinical characteristics of patients readmitted within 30-days for AECOPD following index admission to the OU or inpatient floor from the OU.
    Methods: This is a retrospective observational study of patients admitted from January to December 2017 for AECOPD to an OU in an urban-based tertiary care hospital. Primary outcome was rate of 30-day readmission after admission for AECOPD for patients discharged from the OU versus inpatient service after failing OU management. Regression analyses were used to define risk factors.
    Results: 163 OU encounters from 92 unique patients were included. There was a lower readmission rate (33%) for patients converted from OU to inpatient care versus patients readmitted after direct discharge from the OU (44%). Patients with 30-day readmissions were more likely to be undomiciled, with history of congestive heart failure (CHF), pulmonary embolism (PE), or had previous admissions for AECOPD. Patients with >6 annual OU visits for AECOPD had higher rates of substance abuse, psychiatric diagnosis, and prior PE; when these patients were excluded, the 30-day readmission rate decreased to 13.5%.
    Conclusion: Patients admitted for AECOPD with a history of PE, CHF, prior AECOPD admissions, and socioeconomic deprivation are at higher risk of readmission and should be prioritized for direct inpatient admission. Further prospective studies should be conducted to determine the clinical impact of this approach on readmission rates.
