| 1 | Edge Metric Dimension of Honeycomb and Hexagonal Networks for IoT显示文摘Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)is considered to be one of the fundamental technologies employed in the Internet of things(IoT);hence,enabling diverse applications for carrying out real-time observations.Robot navigation in such networks was the main motivation for the introduction of the concept of landmarks.A robot can identify its own location by sending signals to obtain the distances between itself and the landmarks.Considering networks to be a type of graph,this concept was redefined as metric dimension of a graph which is the minimum number of nodes needed to identify all the nodes of the graph.This idea was extended to the concept of edge metric dimension of a graph G,which is the minimum number of nodes needed in a graph to uniquely identify each edge of the network.Regular plane networks can be easily constructed by repeating regular polygons.This design is of extreme importance as it yields high overall performance;hence,it can be used in various networking and IoT domains.The honeycomb and the hexagonal networks are two such popular mesh-derived parallel networks.In this paper,it is proved that the minimum landmarks required for the honeycomb network HC(n),and the hexagonal network HX(n)are 3 and 6 respectively.The bounds for the landmarks required for the hex-derived network HDN1(n)are also proposed. | Sohail Abbas Zahid Raza Nida Siddiqui Faheem Khan Taegkeun Whangbo | 2022 | Computers, Materials & Continua2022，，5： | 0 |
| 2 | An Insight into Different Strategies for Control and Prophylaxis of Fasciolosis:A Review显示文摘Fasciolosis is one of the important diseases of livestock and has zoonotic importance.Fasciolosis can cause huge economic losses due to decrease in milk and meat production,decreased feed conversion ratio,and cost of treatment.Treatment and prophylaxis strategies for Fasciola infection are formed based on epidemiological data.The control of Fasciola infection can be attained by treating the animals with active anthelmintics.The use of different combinations of anthelmintics with a possible rotation is more effective against immature as well as adult flukes.Control of the intermediate host(snail)is vital for the reduction of fasciolosis.Due to the rapid growth of snails,the eradication is quite difficult in waterlogged and marshy areas.The use of different grazing methods and treatment of grazing areas can also help to control fasciolosis.A variety of antigens generated by Fasciola spp.have been shown to protect against liver fluke infection.The crude antigens,excretory/secretory,and refined antigens and their combination can be used as prophylactic treatment for the control of fasciolosis.The use of any of the single or combination of these methods can be very effective for the control of fasciolosis. | Hafiz Muhammad Rizwan Muhammad Sohail Sajid Haider Abbas Sadia Ghazanfer Mamoona Arshad | 2022 | Journal of Advances in International Veterinary Research2022，4，1： | 0 |
| 3 | Epidemiology and Control of Congo Fever in Sacrificial Animals of Pakistan显示文摘The cases and deaths due to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever(CCHF)virus commonly known as Congo virus(fatality rate 15%)have been reported throughout Pakistan from the last few years especially during religious occasion,Eid-ul-Azha.The annual increase in death rates due to CCHF demonstrate the importance of awareness of Congo fever at academia as well as public level.The symptoms of Congo fever which appear one to nine days after tick bite,include sudden high fever,muscle aches,abdominal pain,headache,dizziness,sore eyes,jaundice,mood swings,confusion,aggression,and sensitivity to light.The other signs include sore throat,joint pain,vomiting,diarrhea,hemorrhages,and bleeding from skin and large intestine.The Infection has been reported in many species of wild as well as domestic animals including hares,cattle,sheep,goats,dogs,mice and hedgehogs.At least 31 species of Hyalomma,Boophilus,Rhipicephalus,Dermacentor(Ixodidae:hard ticks)act as vector of CCHF in which transovarial,transstadial and venereal transmission occurs.The virus attacks the immune system of the host and influences the immune cells.The Congo fever virus can be isolated from blood,plasma and many body tissues(kidneys,liver,spleen,lungs,brain and bone marrow).Mice inoculation,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)can be used for detection of the infection.Furthermore,IgM and IgG antibodies against CCHFV can also be detected and quantified.Education of general public,tick control with acaricides,use of anti-CCHFV immunoglobulin,usage of approved repellents to prevent tick bites,wearing neutral-coloured garments,application of a permethrin spray to the clothing,avoiding tall grasses and shrubs,applying sunscreen,avoiding direct contact with the blood or tissues of animals are the factors for successful prevention of the infection. | Hafiz Muhammad Rizwan Muhammad Sohail Sajid Haider Abbas Muhammad Fiaz Qamar Qaiser Akram Mahvish Maqbool | 2019 | Veterinary Science Research2019，1，2： | 0 |
| 4 | National guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma显示文摘A consensus meeting of national experts from all major national hepatobiliary centres in the country was held on May 26,2023,at the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute&Research Centre(PKLI&RC)after initial consultations with the experts.The Pakistan Society for the Study of Liver Diseases(PSSLD)and PKLI&RC jointly organised this meeting.This effort was based on a comprehensive literature review to establish national practice guidelines for hilar cholangiocarcinoma(hCCA).The consensus was that hCCA is a complex disease and requires a multidisciplinary team approach to best manage these patients.This coordinated effort can minimise delays and give patients a chance for curative treatment and effective palliation.The diagnostic and staging workup includes high-quality computed tomography,magnetic resonance imaging,and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreato-graphy.Brush cytology or biopsy utilizing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a mainstay for diagnosis.However,histopathologic confirmation is not always required before resection.Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration of regional lymph nodes and positron emission tomography scan are valuable adjuncts for staging.The only curative treatment is the surgical resection of the biliary tree based on the Bismuth-Corlette classification.Selected patients with unresectable hCCA can be considered for liver transplantation.Adjuvant chemotherapy should be offered to patients with a high risk of recurrence.The use of preoperative biliary drainage and the need for portal vein embolisation should be based on local multidisciplinary discussions.Patients with acute cholangitis can be drained with endoscopic or percutaneous biliary drainage.Palliative chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine has shown improved survival in patients with irresectable and recurrent hCCA. | Faisal Saud Dar Zaigham Abbas Irfan Ahmed Muhammad Atique Usman Iqbal Aujla Muhammad Azeemuddin Zeba Aziz Abu Bakar Hafeez Bhatti Tariq Ali Bangash Amna Subhan Butt Osama Tariq Butt Abdul Wahab Dogar Javed Iqbal Farooqi Faisal Hanif Jahanzaib Haider Siraj Haider Syed Mujahid Hassan Adnan Abdul Jabbar Aman Nawaz Khan Muhammad Shoaib Khan Muhammad Yasir Khan Amer Latif Nasir Hassan Luck Ahmad Karim Malik Kamran Rashid Sohail Rashid Mohammad Salih Abdullah Saeed Amjad Salamat Ghias-un-Nabi Tayyab Aasim Yusuf Haseeb Haider Zia Ammara Naveed | 2024 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2024，30，9： | 0 |
