Zohaib Sherwani,Chase Kelley,Hassan Farooq,Nickolas G. Garbis 대한견주관절의학회 2022 대한견주관절의학회지 Vol.25 No.4

Currently, the literature contains few studies that describe any potential complications following arthroscopic acromioplasty. Because part of the anterior deltoid originates from the anterior acromion, there is a risk for violation and subsequent iatrogenic rupture or avulsion during this procedure. This type of injury can be a devastating problem for patients that may lead to poor function and debilitating pain. We present a patient with deltoid insufficiency following arthroscopic acromioplasty who elected to proceed with operative management with a planned arthroscopic evaluation of the shoulder followed by an open deltoid repair. At the final follow-up visit 2.5 years postoperatively, the patient reported improved pain from baseline and no residual disability and was able to perform most activities of daily living without difficulty. This case serves as an example of a surgical repair for a deltoid avulsion following arthroscopic acromioplasty. As there is still a lack of standard guidelines, our suture repair technique can be considered one method of treatment for this type of injury.

Detecting global irrigated areas by using satellite and reanalysis products

Zohaib, Muhammad,Kim, Hyunglok,Choi, Minha Elsevier 2019 Science of the Total Environment Vol.677 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Despite the importance of irrigation in meeting the world's food demand and as an essential human modification to water and energy cycles, the reliable extent and distribution of the global irrigated areas remain undefined. In this study, an intuitive method is proposed, based on the aftereffects of irrigation, to detect global irrigated areas by combining satellite and reanalysis datasets. The proposed methodology assumes that irrigation is an unmodeled land surface process, while satellite observations can effectively detect irrigation signals in near real-time. The spatial extents of irrigation were derived by calculating the difference between the remotely sensed and reanalysis datasets. To detect the irrigated areas, three irrigation-dependent variables, soil moisture (SM), land surface temperature (LST), and surface albedo (A<SUB>L</SUB>), were used. In the absence of reliable ground truths, the proposed irrigation map was compared to the commonly used global irrigation maps, namely Global Map of Irrigated areas, Global Irrigated Area Map, and recently developed Global Irrigated Areas by Meier et al. (2018). Individual detection by SM, LST, and A<SUB>L</SUB> has discrepancies in detecting irrigation signals in highly irrigated, urbanized, and semi-arid regions. However, by combining the individual detection maps, the proposed method showed reasonable agreement with the reference irrigated maps overlapping with approximately 70% of the irrigated areas. We believe that the proposed method, as stand-alone or in combination with the existing irrigation maps, will benefit the studies regarding water and energy balance closure in near-real time for large-scale land surface models by minimizing the uncertainties in model parameterization.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Global irrigated areas are identified by combining satellite and reanalysis datasets. </LI> <LI> Soil moisture-based irrigation detection has omitted highly irrigated areas. </LI> <LI> Temperature-based irrigation detection counteracts urbanization. </LI> <LI> Our results demonstrate reasonable accuracy of the proposed irrigation map. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Khan, Zohaib,Muller, Steffen,Ahmed, Shahzad,Tonnies, Justus,Nadir, Faryal,Samkange-Zeeb, Florence Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.11

Background: Oral cancer is the most common cancer among men and second only to breast cancer among women in Pakistan. For the effective control and prevention of oral cancer, Pakistan needs to recognize the importance of research and generation of the evidence-base which can inform policy making and planning and implementation of intervention programs. The objective of this review was to quantify oral cancer research output in Pakistan. Materials and Methods: A systematic electronic search in "Medline", "ISI-Web of Science" and "Pakmedinet", supplemented by a Google search, was carried out in January and February, 2014, to identify literature from Pakistan relevant to oral cancer. The selection of publications for the review was carried out according to preset criteria. Data were recorded and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results: A total of 166 publications comprising 62 case series, 36 cross sectional, 31 case control, 10 basic laboratory research, eleven reviews and two trials, were included in this review. Some 35 % of the publications focused on risk factors for oral cancer. COMSATS Institute of Information Technology was the institution with the highest contribution. Conclusions: There is a lack of research in the field of oral cancer research in Pakistan. Focused efforts should be put in place to improve both quality and quantity of oral cancer research in the country.

Towards Effective Analysis and Tracking of Mozilla and Eclipse Defects using Machine Learning Models based on Bugs Data

Hassan, Zohaib,Iqbal, Naeem,Zaman, Abnash Institute of Information Science and Technology 2021 Soft computing and machine intelligence Vol.1 No.1

Analysis and Tracking of bug reports is a challenging field in software repositories mining. It is one of the fundamental ways to explores a large amount of data acquired from defect tracking systems to discover patterns and valuable knowledge about the process of bug triaging. Furthermore, bug data is publically accessible and available of the following systems, such as Bugzilla and JIRA. Moreover, with robust machine learning (ML) techniques, it is quite possible to process and analyze a massive amount of data for extracting underlying patterns, knowledge, and insights. Therefore, it is an interesting area to propose innovative and robust solutions to analyze and track bug reports originating from different open source projects, including Mozilla and Eclipse. This research study presents an ML-based classification model to analyze and track bug defects for enhancing software engineering management (SEM) processes. In this work, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Naive Bayesian (NB) classifiers are implemented using open-source bug datasets, such as Mozilla and Eclipse. Furthermore, different evaluation measures are employed to analyze and evaluate the experimental results. Moreover, a comparative analysis is given to compare the experimental results of ANN with NB. The experimental results indicate that the ANN achieved high accuracy compared to the NB. The proposed research study will enhance SEM processes and contribute to the body of knowledge of the data mining field.

A note on endomorphisms of local cohomology modules

Waqas Mahmood,Zohaib Zahid 대한수학회 2017 대한수학회보 Vol.54 No.1

Let $I$ denote an ideal of a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$. Let $M$ denote a finitely generated $R$-module. We study the endomorphism ring of the local cohomology module $H^c_I(M), c = \grade (I,M)$. In particular there is a natural homomorphism $$\Hom_{\hat{R}^I}(\hat{M}^I, \hat{M}^I)\to \Hom_{R}(H^c_{I}(M),H^c_{I}(M)),$$ where $\hat{\cdot}^I$ denotes the $I$-adic completion functor. We provide sufficient conditions such that it becomes an isomorphism. Moreover, we study a homomorphism of two such endomorphism rings of local cohomology modules for two ideals $J \subset I$ with the property $\grade(I,M) = \grade(J,M)$. Our results extends constructions known in the case of $M = R$ (see e.g.~\cite{h1}, \cite{p7}, \cite{p1}).

Jayant Nirmalkar,Zohaib Ul Hassan,Dongju Park,Seil Kim,Jinsang Jung 한국대기환경학회 2021 한국대기환경학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2021 No.10

The diversity of the bacterial community and chemical composition in fresh snowfall samples has not yet been studied well, despite its importance for human health and climate change. We performed a comprehensive assessment of microbial community structures and chemical characteristics of fresh snowfall samples collected in Daejeon, Republic of Korea during winter 2020-2021. We utilized a cutting-edge genomic next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to investigate the bacterial community in fresh snow sample. The microbial community classes of the fresh snowfall samples have consisted of three major phyla: Firmicutes (59%), Actinobacteria (30%), and Proteobacteria (8%). The concentration of water-soluble ions including (SO₄<SUP>2-</SUP> and NO₃-), dust tracers (Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> and Ca<SUP>2+</SUP>) and sea salt (Cland Na+), and water-soluble organic carbon were quantified significantly in fresh snowfall samples. The air masses passing over from the Gobi Desert incorporated halotolerant bacteria which are related to Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria strains that were potentially influenced by Asian dust, oceanic and urban emissions. Pseudomonas species, which is known as Ice nucleating bacteria in the atmosphere, was measured in fresh snowfall samples at this site.

Regenerative Potential of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) for Curing Intrabony Periodontal Defects: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies

Shariq Najeeb,Zohaib Khurshid,Muhammad Atif Saleem Agwan,Shazia Akhbar Ansari,Muhammad Sohail Zafar,Jukka Pekka Matinlinna 한국조직공학과 재생의학회 2017 조직공학과 재생의학 Vol.14 No.6

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been used in regenerative medicine and dentistry. Recently, its use has been advocated for regenerative periodontics and wound healing. The randomized control trials have assessed the regenerative efficacy of the PRF for restoring intrabony periodontal defects.The objectives are to critically analyze and appraise the currently available literature, focusing on the use of PRF in regenerating periodontal bone defects. An electronic search was conducted (PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, ISI-WOS). Various combinations of following keywords were used: ‘platelet-rich fibrin’, ‘intrabony’, ‘periodontal’, ‘bone defect’ and ‘guided tissue regeneration’.Asecondary search was conducted by analyzing the reference lists of the articles obtained in initial search. The final search resulted in 13 randomized controlled trials being included. Inmajority of studies, PRF resulted in better clinical/radiographic outcomes than open flap debridement and augmented therapeutic effects of bone grafts. The combination of bovine bone substitutes and PRF resulted in better performance compared to alone. Similarly better outcomes were observed while using PRF in combination with nanohydroxyapatite, metformin and demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft. It can be concluded that PRF produces better outcomes than open flap debridement alone and augments the regenerative effects of bone substitutes.
