Background: Platelet concentrates (PCs) are one of the most used blood components in blood banks due to their essential role in treating thrombocytopenia, and while viral transmission has been largely addressed, bacterial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) are still regarded as a crucial safety concern. Objective: This short review aimed to consolidate current knowledge on the strategies followed in blood banks to maximize the quality and shelf life of platelet concentrates (PCs). Different methods of each strategy were considered, focusing on outcomes related to approved and effective outcomes. Methods: The current study is based on PubMed, Wiley, and Web of Science databases to assess donor selection, bacterial screening, and pathogen reduction technologies utilized for PCs quality. All articles were collected until April 2024. Studies utilizing approved interventions and relevant hospital outcomes were inclusive. However, repetitive data and unapproved methods were among the exclusive criteria. Collected published manuscripts were reviewed. Results: The studies reviewed and referenced in this article consensus that pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) utilizing Ultraviolet rays (UV) was found to be effective in eliminating various bacterial contamination. Furthermore, the need for donor and bacterial screening is still essential and could not be overlooked. Pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) remain important and valid despite studies suggesting the reduced platelet concentrates (PCs) quality and the need for frequent transmission of PCs. Some studies even foresee pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) as replacing the cultural bacterial detection methods. Conclusion:We conclude that preventing bacterial contamination in platelet concentrates (PCs) requires a multifaceted approach. However, future research should focus on optimizing these strategies while minimizing their potential adverse effects on platelet function and safet

The construction of bridges across rivers is challenging, as bridge piers act as obstacles to waterways and cause a narrowing of the natural channel.Therefore, it is critical to know the increase in water surface elevation due to bridge constrictions, particularly during flood events.In the past more researchers have a try to improve experimental equations based on the perception of mechanics of backwater rise.However most of the investigators have discussed the backwater rise at bridge pier located in a straight channel and no study has been discussed when bridge pier is located in a curved channel.Our study showed that, backwater rise is studied both in straight channel and in a rectangular curved channel having a central angle of 30° for subcritical flow condition, which is the type of flow that exists in most rivers.A different pier shapes were located in the straight channel, moreover in divisions 0, 15 and 30 degrees in the curved channel.This research observed that the values of backwater rise at the curved channel are bigger than those of straight channel, the maximum backwater rise occurs at section 0 degrees and the minimum occurs at section 30 degree of the curved channel.

In this paper, a hybrid control scheme is designed to control an uncertain linear system subject to uncertainties and time-varying parameters.In this regard, a sliding mode control is considered to tackle uncertainties, while an optimal control scheme (Linear Quadratic Regulation) is designed to obtain the minimum control effort.In this approach, the upper bound of the uncertainties will be estimated with an adaptive law, which is derived by a proper Lyapunov function.One of the advantages of this method is the reduction of the computation process.The bound of uncertainty should not be known a priori to design OSMC, which can be known as the great merit of this novel approach.The efficiency of this novel method will be shown on a linear system in the presence of uncertainties.By comparison the simulation results of this method with SMC, it can be clearly demonstrated that it can control the linear systems not only robustly but also optimally.

Background: The assistance provided in Intensive Care Units is focused on specialized care for patients in critical condition. Considering critical patients admitted to Intensive Care Units, multidisciplinary care consists of complex and special care. In this context, the question arises about the role of multidisciplinary team assistance in implementing adequate care centered on the patient as a whole and not just focusing on the disease. Objective: The study aimed to investigate in national publications the challenges and perspectives of the multidisciplinary team's performance in the Intensive Care Unit. Methodology: This is a bibliographic review article in which an exploratory research was carried out, with a qualitative approach. The search took place in the LILLACS and SCIELO databases from February to May 2023. 22 scientific articles were analyzed using as inclusion criteria articles published in Portuguese; complete, published and indexed in the aforementioned databases in the last ten years. Results: As a result, it became clear that the know-how of different categories of health professionals working together plays a fundamental role in the care of critical patients in the Intensive Care Unit and this requires these professionals to have scientific knowledge and technical skills in care services. Furthermore, they must seek to provide qualified, comprehensive, multidisciplinary care based on scientific evidence. It was concluded that assistance to critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit is highly relevant and essential. Conclusion: It was observed that is essential for those professionals to carry out their activity in an ethical, holistic manner, aiming at physical, biological, psychological and social care in order to guarantee patient safety at all moments of care through the use of effective communication and noise free

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are common and linked to an increased risk of developing a disability. Although physical therapy is recommended for several musculoskeletal conditions, research shows the rate of patients’ access to physical therapy clinics appears unchanged. Objective: We aimed to identify predictive factors to improve overall health status, better compliance, and better management of patients' conditions within physiotherapy services. We used electronic data for a retrospective cohort in Prince Sultan Military Medical City from 30 March 2022 to 22 May 2022. Considering gender, age, and the co-existence of other medical conditions, we compared users and non-users of physical therapy services after referral. Patients were grouped using their diagnosis from their index visit to the Spine, Lower extremity, and Upper extremity. We compared differences in patient factors between users and non-users of physical therapy using chi-square and t-tests. We estimated the minimum sample size to be 385, using 50% of the population portion. Results: We found a significant number of non-users were males and were from the orthopedic department. The association analysis revealed significant relationships between users and gender, user and clinic, and user and diagnosis. Conclusion: The high prevalence of non-users in OPD clinics, could be driven by: the lack of time and an understanding of the importance of the physical therapy course. The study guides healthcare professionals to highlight individuals at particular risk of not accessing physical therapy and indicates the benefit of accessing physical treatment in their case. Further, it encourages to design and implement a policy for people with OPD/Spinal disorder to ensure the continuity of care and to prevent any longterm impact on their health

For the supply of drinking water to the population, we have set up a surface water treatment system: horizontal sand filtration. This process is based on the principle of bank filtration; it is a natural rustic treatment, based on slow biological filtration, which does not require any reagent. The objective of this work is to propose a tool to describe the groundwater flow on a complete water filtration system with the MODFLOW model in order to follow the evolution of the hydrodynamic parameters on the one hand and to determine the transit time of the water in the pilot. The calibration with a chemical tracer, fluorescein, allowing to optimise the defined parameters (hydraulic conductivities, recharge) of the aquifer in order to obtain calculated loads as close as possible to those measured in given observation points, and the reading and saving of the imposed hydraulic loads were carried out with the "results extractor" module. The variation of the slope of the 2nd compartment from 5% to 20% significantly reduces the transit time of the tracer from 6.3 h to 5.2 h in the device. It was also found that the transit time increased as the sand grain size decreased, but this did not indicate a malfunction of the device. The results obtained showed that it is possible to perform a hydrodynamic modelling of the system in order to reproduce the experiments performed on the physical device. The steady-state modelling shows that the curves calculated at each piezometer are close to the experimental curves, except for the variation in sand grain size (piezometer 3), probably due to the preferred path. The differences in concentration between the calculated and experimental values at piezometers 3 and 4 are due to a dilution and/or adsorption effect by the fine sand. The calibration of the model allows an appropriate sizing according to each problem

This research examined the audio-visual simple reaction times in the hands and legs of basketball, handball, and volleyball players. A total of thirty-six (N=36) male athletes randomly participated in this study, among them (n=12) basketball players, (n=12) handball players, and (n=12) volleyball players. The players’ average ages were 22.33±1.15; 22.00±1.41; 21.75±1.22, and they competed at the university level in their respective sports. The timer for Audio-Visual Reaction was used to measure the auditory and visual simple reaction times of the hands and legs in milliseconds. The mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used, and the level of significance was set at p&lt;0.05. The F-value of auditory reaction time was 0.21 (&gt; 0.05) in basketball, handball, and volleyball players' strong hand, 0.05 (&gt; 0.05) in weak hand, 1.02 (&gt; 0.05) in strong leg, and 2.23 (&gt; 0.05) in weak leg. Whereas, the strong hand had a visual reaction time of 1.37 (&gt; 0.05), the weak hand had a reaction time of 0.51 (&gt; 0.05), the strong leg had a reaction time of 2.31 (&gt; 0.05), and the weak leg had a reaction time of 0.65 (&gt; 0.05). According to the statistical examination, no significant difference was obtained in auditory and visual reaction times among basketball, handball, and volleyball players with their strong and weak hands and strong and weak legs. Since there was no significant difference in the ANOVA analysis, the reaction times of the limbs (auditory and visual) were compared between each of the two games. The weak leg auditory reaction time was significantly different between basketball and handball players in an independent t-test (t (22) = 2.17, sig. = 0.041 at p 0.05). This study concluded that the auditory and visual simple reaction ability of hands and legs was closer for the three different court games, and a difference was obtained between basketball and handball players concerning weak leg auditory reaction time
