Introduction: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) of presumed cardiac origin witnessed by nonfamily members in the daytime are most effectively resuscitated in the youth, in which the impact of recently disseminated hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is poorly understood. Hypothesis: Dissemination of hands-only CPR is associated with the better outcome in school students and young adults after such OHCA. Methods: We investigated OHCA of presumed cardiac origin in the youth (Group A, 7-12y; group B, 13-18y; group C, 19-22y; group D, 23-35y) which are witnessed by nonfamily members in the daytime (6:00-17:59) during 2005-15 by using Japanese nationwide Utstein registry. Results: We recruited 1,646 pts, in which N of pts was 92 (A), 382 (B), 229 (C) and 943 (D); ventricular fibrillation (VF) as the initial rhythm (%) was 48, 70, 64, and 59; bystander’s CPR (%) was 81, 80, 71 and 68; hands-only/bystander’s CPR (%) was 32, 38, 57, 56; bystander’s automated external defibrillator (AED) (%) was 37, 44, 24 and 19; the favorable neurological outcome at 1 month (CPC1-2)(%) was 46, 49, 39 and 30. Compared with group D, %bystander’s CPR (p=.013 in A, <.001 in B), %bystander’s AED (<.001 in both), and %CPC1-2 (.005, <.001) was higher but %hands-only CPR(<.001 in both) was lower in A and B, independent of the calendar year. Compared with 2005-09, %hands-only CPR, %bystander’s AED and CPC1-2 were higher in all age groups (<.005 in all) in 2010-15. In multivariate logistic analysis (gender, age groups (vs D), CPR type (conventional or hands-only CPR vs no CPR), bystander’s AED, the initial VF, emergency response time, calendar year), hands-only CPR (p=.03), bystander’s AED(<.001), female gender(.045), initial VF (<.001), emergency response time (<.001), and calendar year (<.001) were independently associated with CPC1-2. Conclusions: The present investigation demonstrates that resuscitation and outcome parameters after OHCA of presumed cardiac origin were persistently better in school students than young adults and that %hands-only CPR, which was persistently lower in school students, was independently associated with the better outcome in the youth overall. This finding may give a clue to further improvement of the outcomes in school students after OHCA.

The Impact

With the advances in networking technologies, robots can use the almost unlimited resources of large data centers, overcoming the severe limitations imposed by onboard resources: this is the vision of Cloud Robotics. In this context, we present DewROS, a framework based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) which embodies the three-layer, Dew-Robotics architecture, where computation and storage can be distributed among the robot, the network devices close to it, and the Cloud. After presenting the design and implementation of DewROS, we show its application in a real use-case called SHERPA, which foresees a mixed ground and aerial robotic platform for search and rescue in an alpine environment. We used DewROS to analyze the video acquired by the drones in the Cloud and quickly spot signs of human beings in danger. We perform a wide experimental evaluation using different network technologies and Cloud services from Google and Amazon. We evaluated the impact of several variables on the performance of the system. Our results show that, for example, the video length has a minimal impact on the response time with respect to the video size. In addition, we show that the response time depends on the Round Trip Time (RTT) of the network connection when the video is already loaded into the Cloud provider side. Finally, we present a model of the annotation time that considers the RTT of the connection used to reach the Cloud, discussing results and insights into how to improve current Cloud Robotics applications.

This paper presents the design of C-CNTFET oscillator's arrays for infrared 'IR' technology. These arrays are contained by both of the LC-tank and the voltage control 'coupled N- and P-type C-CNTFET LC-tank' oscillators. In this paper, the analysis of the impact of CNT diameter variations and the nonlinear capacitances (C GD and C GS ) were introduced, especially on propagation time, oscillation frequency and power consumption. The C-CNTFET inverter, ring oscillator, LC-tank and coupled N- and P-type C-CNTFET LC-tank oscillator structures were designed and their speeding and performances have been investigated with the proposed n-type of C-CNTFET model supplied by a 0.5 V power voltage. Simulation results show that the n- and p-types LC-tank oscillator circuit designs achieved an approximately equal oscillation frequency, response time and power consumption. Whereas the coupled N- and P-type C-CNTFET LC-tank oscillator has the lowest power consumption equal to 0.13 μW, the highest oscillation frequency (10.08 THz) and the fastest response time (1.81 ps).

The Impact

Community-based management of severe wasting (CMSW) programs have solely focused on exit outcome indicators, often omitting data on nutrition emergency preparedness and scalability. This study aimed to document good practices and generate evidence on the effectiveness and scalability of CMSW programs to guide future nutrition interventions in South Sudan. A total of 69 CMSW program implementation documents and policies were authenticated and retained for analysis, complemented with the analyses of aggregated secondary data obtained over five (2016–2020 for CMSW program performance) to six (wasting prevention) years (2014–2019). Findings suggest a strong and harmonised coordination of CMSW program implementation, facilitated timely and with quality care through an integrated and harmonised multi-agency and multidisciplinary approach. There were challenges to the institutionalisation and ownership of CMSW programs: a weak health system, fragile health budget that relied on external assistance, and limited opportunities for competency-based learning and knowledge transfer. Between 2014 and 2019, the prevalence of wasting fluctuated according to the agricultural cycle and remained above the emergency threshold of 15% during the July to August lean season. However, during the same period, under-five and crude mortality rates (10,000/day) declined respectively from 1.17 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91, 1.43) and 1.00 (95% CI: 0.75, 1.25) to 0.57 (95% CI: 0.38, 0.76) and 0.55 (95% CI: 0.39, 0.70). Both indicators remained below the emergency thresholds, hence suggesting that the emergency response was under control. Over a five-year period (2016–2020), a total of 1,105,546 children (52% girls, 48% boys) were admitted to CMSW programs. The five-year pooled performance indicators (mean [standard deviations]) was 86.4 (18.9%) for recovery, 2.1 (7.8%) for deaths, 5.2 (10.3%) for defaulting, 1.7 (5.7%) for non-recovery, 4.6 (13.5%) for medical transfers, 2.2 (4.7%) for relapse, 3.3 (15.0) g/kg/day for weight gain velocity, and 6.7 (3.7) weeks for the length of stay in the program. In conclusion, all key performance indicators, except the weight gain velocity, met or exceeded the Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response. Our findings demonstrate the possibility of implementing robust and resilient CMSAM programs in protracted conflict environments, informed by global guidelines and protocols. They also depict challenges to institutionalisation and ownership.
