    Abstract In this paper, we investigate the properties of timelike and spacelike shifted-knots Bézier surfaces in Minkowski space-[Formula: see text]. These surfaces are commonly used in mathematical models for surface formation in computer science for computer-aided geometric design and computer graphics, as well as in other fields of mathematics. Our objective is to analyze the characteristics of timelike and spacelike shifted-knots Bézier surfaces in Minkowski space-[Formula: see text]. To achieve this, we compute the fundamental coefficients of shifted-knots Bézier surfaces, including the Gauss-curvature, mean-curvature, and shape-operator of the surface. Furthermore, we present numerical examples of timelike and spacelike bi-quadratic (m = n = 2) and bi-cubic (m = n = 3) shifted-knots Bézier surfaces in Minkowski space-[Formula: see text] to demonstrate the applicability of the technique in Minkowski space.

  3. Article ; Online: Incidence and determinants of catastrophic health expenditures and impoverishment in Pakistan.

    Bashir, S / Kishwar, S / Salman

    Abstract: Objectives: Out-of-pocket (OOP) payment is a major health financing mechanisms across developing nations such as Pakistan. Private health expenditures are estimated to be 64.4%, of which 89% are OOP made by the households (National Health Accounts, 2015- ...

    Abstract Objectives: Out-of-pocket (OOP) payment is a major health financing mechanisms across developing nations such as Pakistan. Private health expenditures are estimated to be 64.4%, of which 89% are OOP made by the households (National Health Accounts, 2015-16). These high health care expenditures cause households to face financial burden resulting in poverty. This study aims to estimate the incidence and determinants of catastrophic health expenditures and impoverishment for Pakistan.
    Study design: Household-based cross-section study.
    Methods: We used the data from the Household Integrated Economic Survey (2015-16 and 2018-19), carried out by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics. The well known methodology developed by Wagstaff and Doorslaer was used in this study for estimating the incidence and impoverishment effect of catastrophic health spending.
    Results: It is found that at 10% threshold (out of total consumption expenditures), catastrophic health payments are incurred by 4.51% and 13.15% of households for 2015-16 and 2018-19, respectively. Moreover, following the 40% threshold (out of non-food expenditures), this incidence is 0.45% and 4.57%. Poverty headcount was 23.28% and 18.43% gross of health payments in both the considered years, respectively, whereas it turns out to be 24.68% and 22.02% net of healthcare payments for the respective years, representing an increase in poverty headcounts of 1.4% and 3.59%.
    Conclusion: OOP health payments exert pressure on household's capacity to pay and push them into poverty. This article recommends that the burden of OOP expenditures borne by households should be reduced to prevent them from falling into poverty by initiating some strategies (health financing policy reforms in terms of financial protection) with political support.

    Abstract Tonsillectomy is a commonly performed surgery in otolaryngological practice. Owing to the possibility of postoperative bleeding, it is considered as one of the major surgical procedures. Various techniques have been advocated, however dissection and electrocautery are the most commonly used techniques in tonsillectomy. The objective was to study and compare the relative efficacy using two methods of tonsillectomy- bipolar electrocautery versus silk ligation. This prospective study included 50 patients who underwent tonsillectomy. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. In Group A, left tonsillar fossa haemorrhage was controlled by ligation, while in Group B, bipolar diathermy was used to control bleeding of right tonsillar fossa. Comparison was done in terms of time taken for hemostasis, amount of intra-operative blood loss and post-operative pain. 130 (72.22%) male and 50 (27.77%) females were included. Group A included 20 cases while Group B included 30 cases. The mean time taken for hemostasis in Group A patients was 40.5 ± 4.4 min as compared to 25.3 ± 6.2 min in Group B patients. The mean blood loss on cautery side was 49.5 ± 4.5 ml and that on the ligation side was 68.6 ± 5.3 ml. Post-operative pain was significantly more in Group B patients as compared to Group A patients. Bipolar diathermy is a quicker and faster method to achieve hemostasis with little intraoperative blood loss as compated to silk ligation.

    Abstract In humans, gene mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels can cause a range of epileptic symptoms, including genetic (generalized) epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) and Dravet syndrome (DS). The SCN9A is a member of the SCN9 gene family that encodes sodium transporter proteins. In the current case report, we delineate a 12-year-old patient who was referred to a pediatric neurology clinic for infantile-onset generalized epileptic seizures and progressive neurodevelopmental delay. Novel heterozygous mutations c.4702A>C (p.Asn1568His) in the SCN9A gene, and c.65G>A (p.Arg22Gln) in the MLC1 gene were detected using targeted next-generation gene sequencing. The replacement of Histidine (His) with Asparagine (Asn) at position 1568 in the topological domain of SCN9A channel protein provides new insights into the impaired excitation and inactivation patterns of sodium channels. The case report adds this new patient with genetic link of SCN9A variants with progressive myoclonic epilepsy and cognitive difficulties.

    Abstract Mining fault tolerant (FT) frequent itemsets from transactional databases are computationally more expensive than mining exact matching frequent itemsets. Previous algorithms mine FT frequent itemsets using Apriori heuristic. Apriori-like algorithms generate exponential number of candidate itemsets including the itemsets that do not exist in the database. These algorithms require multiple scans of database for counting the support of candidate FT itemsets. In this paper we present a novel algorithm, which mines FT frequent itemsets using frequent pattern growth approach (FT-PatternGrowth). FT-PatternGrowth adopts a divide-and-conquer technique and recursively projects transactional database into a set of smaller projected transactional databases and mines FT frequent itemsets in each projected database by exploring only locally frequent items. This mines the complete set of FT frequent itemsets and substantially reduces those candidate itemsets that do not exist in the database. FT-PatternGrowth stores the transactional database in a highly condensed much smaller data structure called frequent pattern tree (FP-tree). The support of candidate itemsets are counted directly from the FP-tree without scanning the original database multiple times. This improves the processing speed of algorithm. Our experiments on benchmark databases indicates mining FT frequent itemsets using FT-PatternGrowth is highly efficient than Apriori-like algorithms.
