Ludwig’s Angina – Case Study
Ludwig's angina is extremely dangerous as it causes edema, distortion, and airway obstruction and can appear as a result of airway problems. The first phase of the management of patients with this disease is observation and intravenous antibiotics. Protecting the airway with surgical drainage will be the management of advanced diseases. In addition to this infection; pain, trismus, airway swelling, and tongue displacement lead to weak airways. Therefore, airway management is a major concern in these situations [1]. Although “normal” airway management for patients with deep neck disease is a tracheostomy with local anesthesia, in extreme cases the infection is difficult or sometimes not possible due to the required tracheostomy position or due to external neck distortion.

A Review on Effect of Different Nanofluids on Thermal Performance in Trapezoidal Corrugated Channel
Using corrugated channels is one of the passive heat transfer enhancement techniques in the fabrication of heat exchange devices. Designing more effective energy systems is a challenge for researchers and engineers to minimize the consumption of energy in order to improve energy system efficiency. In recent years, many industries have a strong need to achieve higher thermal performance in order to gain high efficiency, reduce the cost and weight, and minimize the size of heat exchangers. The use of corrugated channels can decrease the thermal resistance where it acts to reduce the thermal boundary layer thickness of the heat exchanger surface. Therefore, corrugated surface geometry is one of the numerous appropriate procedures to upgrade the heat transfer in these devices due to the appearance of the secondary flow regions in the trough of the corrugated channel which leads to improve the blending of the fluid and consequently maximize the heat transfer exchange. This paper presents the review of studies done by different researchers on the similar topic.

Mood recognition emotion ontology with texts
Emotion can be expressed in many ways where we can see recognition from speech, image or video frames, facial expression, gestures. Deep Learning has increasing attention to its significant processing power. The rapid development and universal availability of Social Media analyzing these data using traditional tools and technologies are tough to examine the fundamental behavior of occurrence in networking sites. Emotion detection in the text files is essentially content in social media. In this paper, we are seeing emotion recognition based on textual data and the techniques are the basic operation of arithmetic such as addition and statements of for loop, else if condition with deep learning and its features.

The effect of activities of daily living on depression among elderly people
Age is an important determinant of mental health. Depression creates the greatest burden among the elderly when compared to other mental disorders. Depression decreases an individual’s quality of life and increases dependence on others. A descriptive study to assess the effect of activities of daily living on depression among elderly people in selected community settings, Coimbatore. Methods: The study was conducted in the Vagarayanpalayam area of the community in Coimbatore, The sample size consists of 50 elderly aged between 60-80 years. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was used. The level of depression, the functional ability was assessed by using a modified geriatric depression scale, modified Barthel ADL index. Results: It was found that there is a significant association between depression and activities of daily living among elderly people at p<0.005. It was found that the calculated ANOVA test value for the study group,10.08 for the age group,25.88 for the gender,14.63 for the income was significantly associated with depression and activities of daily living at p<0.005 and not significant with other demographic variables. It was found that the calculated ANOVA test value for the study group,8.29 for the age group,24.03 for the gender,13.58 for the income was significantly associated with depression and activities of daily living at p<0.005 and not significant with other demographic variables.

Impact of the human-animal bond on stress
The animal-human bond is quite easily one of the purest bonds that exist out there. A research study was conducted by Swamy, S., Bedi, R., and Dawnak, Y. in order to establish and explore how the animal-human bond impacts an individual’s general stress levels and welfare. A review of literature for some recent papers on the same topic have been included so as to understand the relationship between pets and stress better. The formulated hypothesis was – pets bring about a significant difference in general stress levels. To investigate whether having pets has an effect on an individual’s stress responses, conducted a field study. A survey was conducted in order to get data that was later scored to verify our hypothesis. We identified two independent variables (IV) – sex (at two levels – male and female) and pets (at two levels – people with and without pets). The questionnaire was administered to 60 participants (n = 60), between the ages of 15 to 35. Equal number of males and females were randomly selected for the study (m = 30 & f = 30). Further, the number of males was divided into 15 males who are pet parents and 15 males who are not petted parents through random selection. Similarly, the number of females was divided and 15 females who are pet parents and 15 females who are not petted parents were randomly selected. In order to gather data for this study, an unstandardized questionnaire was developed. It had 11 items in total. The rating scale used to measure the responses was a 5-point-Likert-type scale (one that allows the individual to express how much they agree or disagree with a particular statement). The psychometric properties of this rating scale can be found as a result of further research. A parametric inferential statistical analysis was employed, i.e., a 2x2 ANOVA. The two independent variables identified were sex and people with pets and people with no pets. It was observed that the f value for the interaction effect between gender and pet ownership is 1.106, p>0.05. This suggests that there are no significant differences between males and females who own pets and those who don’t. Therefore, the results were not in line with the aforementioned research since there were so significant differences found between pets and stress. However, discussions about why that could have happened has been mentioned in the paper under the Results/Discussion section.
