Hearing, Speech, and Language Characteristics in a Case with Hemoglobinopathy Secondary to Beta Thalassemia Intermedia
Abstract: Background: Thalassemia is an inherited disorder characterized by a reduced amount or absence of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein inside the red blood cell. Thalassemia has its types called alpha and beta-thalassemia. Beta thalassemia is a condition in which there is a reduction or deficit in the synthesis of the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin molecules caused by a mutation in chromosome eleven. Beta thalassemia can be broadly categorized into three main …

Empowering Communication: A Review of Sign Language Translation Systems Powered by Machine Learning
Abstract: This research study offers a fresh solution to the communication gap between the hearing population and the deaf and hard-of-hearing community: the creation of a machine learning-based sign language translator. By utilizing cutting-edge K Nearest Neighbour (K-NN), the system effectively converts sign language motions into text and vice versa, facilitating smooth communication between sign language users and well-read people. The basis of the project is thorough data collection and careful …

Zika Virus: Long-term Effects and Vaccine Development Efforts
Abstract: Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that gained international concern following the 2015-2016 outbreak in the Americas. Although most ZIKV infections are asymptomatic or mild, the virus presents significant public health risks due to its ability to cause severe neurological complications, especially in pregnant women and their offspring.Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) encompasses a range of fetal abnormalities, including microcephaly, vision impairment, hearing loss, and developmental delays. Infants exposed to …

Correlation Between Agronomic and Stem Borer (Sesamia Calamistis) Resistant Traits In Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench)
Abstract: Stem borer (Sesamia calamistis) infestation remains a significant challenge in sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) cultivation, leading to substantial yield losses in Nigeria. This study is aimed at investigating the interrelationship between agronomic and resistant traits of stem borer (Sesamia calamistis), and its influence on selection. The study was carried out at the research field of Plant Breeding Unit, Department of Agriculture Biotechnology, National Biotechnology Research and Development Agency. Forty …

An AAV Vector for Inducible Gene Expression Preferentially in Muscles
Abstract: Adeno associated viral (AAV) vectors has been used widely in gene therapy and efforts have been made to improve their utility by adding genetic elements that would enable targeting transgene expression to particular cells or tissues of interest and permitting on/off regulation of expression. In this study, we designed a recombinant AAV9 variant PHP.eB vector with muscle creatine kinase (Mck)-derived enhancers, a synthetic muscle-expression promoter, in combination with a third-generation …

Design and Implementation of an IoT-Based Power Theft Detection System Using Sensor Networks
Abstract: With the increasing demand for efficient energy distribution and consumption monitoring in smart grid systems, the need for robust power theft detection mechanisms becomes paramount. This project proposes an IoT-based solution utilizing energy metering to detect instances of power theft within different segments of the distribution network. The system employs three types of energy meters: Distribution Point (DP), Pole, and Domestic meters. Every meter is positioned thoughtfully to track the …

A summary continuation analysis evaluating the prevalence and predictors of diabetic retinopathy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.
Abstract: Context: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the leading cause of acquired blindness in adults, affects approximately 93 million people globally. It is a serious complication of type 2 diabetes, resulting from prolonged damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Although largely preventable and treatable, DR continues to be the main cause of vision loss among working-age adults and significantly impacts quality of life. While most studies on DR in Nepal have …
