Detection of salivary biomarker for migraine diagnosis

Abstract

Migraine, a prevalent neurological disorder, is the third most common disease globally, causing significant health and financial burdens. It has four stages: prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome. The prodrome (also known as premonitory) stage is crucial as it precedes the headache by up to 72 hours. Taking medication during the premonitory peroid has shown to prevent the headache phase . However, the symptoms of premonitory period lack specificity, making it difficult for patients to know if they’re experiencing premonitory symptoms. Calcitonin-gene related peptide (cGRP),is a protein that plays a key role in migraine pathogenesis and studies found that salivary cGRP levels increase during the premonitory stage. This study aims to develop and evaluate a lateral flow immunoassay kit for detecting salivary cGRP levels in migraine patients during the prodrome stage. It can serve as a confirmation tool for premonitory symptoms.

Objective

This study has the potential to greatly improve the management and prevention of migraine. The early detection and management could potentially reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, thereby improving the quality of life for patients and reducing their overall burden. Moreover, the confirmatory test for premonitory symptoms provided by this study could help reduce medication overuse, resulting in cost savings for patients, minimizing potential side effects, and potentially lowers the incidence of medication-overuse headaches. Additionally, by providing patients with a predictive tool, the study promotes patient-centered care and encourages patients to take an active role in managing their migraines. The study may also increase awareness and education surrounding premonitory symptoms. Furthermore, if successful, this study could open up for more new, non-invasive, reliable, and accessible approaches to migraine management and prevention.

Artificial intelligence of things system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information

This research focuses on the design and development of a prototype Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information. The system consists of four main components: 1) Weather Station – This component includes various sensors such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunlight duration, among others, to collect real-time weather data. 2) Controller Unit – This unit is equipped with machine learning algorithms or models to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and calculate the plant’s water requirement by integrating the crop coefficient (Kc) with other plant-related data. This enables the system to determine the optimal irrigation amount based on plant needs automatically. 3) User Interface (UI) and Display – This section allows farmers or users to input relevant information, such as plant type, soil type, irrigation system type, number of water emitters, planting distance, and growth stages. It also provides a display for monitoring and interaction with the system. 4) Irrigation Unit – This component is responsible for controlling the water supply and managing the irrigation emitters to ensure efficient water distribution based on the calculated requirements.

Improving the strength of solid electrolyte cells

The research on improving the strength of solid electrolytes aims to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte materials produced from cement and additives that help develop the cement structure to generate electricity. The main components include sodium chloride (NaCl) and graphite, which contribute to the material’s ability to generate a weak electrical current. The objective is to develop an electricity-generating flooring material. This study involves preparing a mixture of cement, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and graphite to enhance the material’s electrical conductivity. It is highly anticipated that this research will lead to the development of concrete flooring capable of generating electricity and can be further expanded for future applications.

Penetration Testing Learning Platform (SecurionSphere)

SecurionSphere is the penetration testing learning platform that focuses on web application exploitation. This platform is intended to address concerns seen in existing penetration testing platforms, such as resource sharing that may affect other users and the constant environment configuration the permits the same response leading to copy the answer from others. Supervisors can use templates to address various forms of web application vulnerability threats. Users can generate the instance of supervisor's templates machine. The platform also randomly generates the environment configuration for each machine has the difference environment and the answer. This allows the users get more realistic learning experiences without affecting the resources of others.
