The study of antibiotic-sensitivity and resistance pattern of bacteria causing catheter associated urinary tract infection

Background: present study is done to study the antibiotic-sensitivity and resistance pattern of bacteria causing catheter associated urinary tract infection. Objectives of this study were to study the bacterial etiology of CAUTI, to study the prevalence of various bacteria causing catheter associated urinary tract infection, the antibiogram (sensitivity and resistance) pattern of isolated bacteria and the percentage of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the study population.Methods: In this prospective observational study, under aseptic precautions, urine sample was taken after 48 hours of catheterization and sent for culture and sensitivity pattern is studied.Results: In this study 500 urine samples were cultured and its antibiotic sensitivity pattern was observed. Out of the 53 culture positive samples most the subjects had asymptomatic bacteriuria. The study gave the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) to be 10.6% and about 9% were polymicrobial. In this study about 7 causative bacteria were isolated. Escherichia coli were the most common organism that was isolated. On studying the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of each isolate, it has been observed that all of them are multidrug resistant and the sensitivity pattern is migrating towards higher antibiotics.Conclusions: Empirical use of antibiotics must be avoided and antibiotics must be used only after sensitivity testing. This will help in selection of the appropriate antibiotic for therapeutic use and prevent indiscriminate and irrational use of antibiotics. This will also improve the cost efficiency and decrease the duration of hospital stay.
Inhibitory Activity of Piper Caninum Leaf Extract against Curvularia Spotting Disease on Rice Plants

Rice is a plant that has been intensively breed, especially in Asia, most of the population’s staple food is rice. There were Many types of rice varieties have been developed for high yeald production. Different rice diseases arise that many treat to reduce production. Such as curvularia spotting disease caused by the fungus Curvularia sp. Infection of Curvularia species causing leaf spots, leaf blights, kernel root, grain deformation and other diseases are well known globally. It was discovered that the small brown oval spots on the Ciherang rice variety cultivated in Bali, Indonesia was caused by Curvularia verruculosa. This disease could reduce the rice yield up to almost 50%. The application of commercial fungicide by the local farmers has not been satisfactorily successful in term of controlling the disease but instead bring damages to the environment and the soil as well. Farmer’s safety is also another serious issue. The current studi develop a natural and green fungicide to check the efficacy of Piper caninum extract against the fungi. Research in the laboratory uses a completely randomized design and research in the field uses a randomized group design.The method of making leaf extracts uses maceration method. Diffusion well technique showed a strong inhibition of the abstract against the C. verruculosa with 22mm inhibition. Zone with a total inhibition of 4% extract concentration. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was low of 0.5%. Scanning electron images of the treated fungi showed hollow and wrinkled mycelia morphology indicating lysis of the cell has occurred. P. caninum leaf extract at a concentration of 3% provides the highest obstacle to the intensity of C. verruculosa disease, whereas in the treatment of leaf extract concentration p. caninum 4% intensity of C. verrucuosa disease has decreased because rice plants are toxic at a concentration of 4%. Further research is needed regarding the treatment of P. caninum leaf extract against C. verruculosa in rice fields.
Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility testing of Non Fermenting Gram Negative Bacteria by Vitek 2 in a Teaching Hospital in Mahbubnagar

Non fermenting gram negative bacteria are saprophytic in nature and were previously considered as contaminants or commensals of little significance (Prudhivi Sumana et al., 2017). However their pathogenic potential has been proved beyond doubt by their frequent isolation from clinical material and their association with disease (Susmitha Simgamsetty et al., 2016). Recent literature review also shows that they have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens causing life threatening infections particularly in hospitalised patients, immunocompromised hosts and patients with hematological malignancies. NFGNB are intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics and are known to produce ESBL’s and metallo-β-lactamases. NFGNB consist of hetrogenous group of organisms like Pseudomonas spp, Acinetobacter spp, Alkaligenes spp, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Burkholderia cepacia (BCC). Currently Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii are the most commonly isolated non-fermenters International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 7 Number 10 (2018) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Disease Outcome and Associated Factors among Neonates Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Jimma University Medical Center, Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia

Background: Neonatal period is a susceptible time in which the newborn has to adapt to a new environment and is vulnerable to many problems. This study aimed to assess the disease outcome and associated factors among neonates.Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from March 15, 2018, to March 30, 2018, on neonates (n=341) admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for two years. The systematic sampling technique was employed to perform the sampling. The data were entered the Epi-data (version 3.1) and analyzed in SPSS software (version 23). A p-value less than 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval (CI) was considered statistically significant. Finally, statements, tables, charts, and graphs were used for data presentation.Results: Regarding the outcome, 81.52% of the admitted neonates were improved and the others (18.48%) died. Prematurity and perinatal asphyxia (PNA) were factors associated with increased risk of death (P<0.001, Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) =0.26, 95% CI: [0.14, 0.46]) and (P<0.05, AOR=0.44, 95% CI: [0.21, 0.91]), respectively.Conclusion: Prematurity, PNA, and place of delivery (i.e., outborn) were predictors of death. Therefore, the adequate resource should be put in place to improve neonatal outcomes.
Linear Input as a Fundamental Motif of Brain Connectivity Organization

Describing the pattern of region-to-region functional connectivity is an important step towards understanding information transfer and transformation between brain regions. Although fMRI data are limited in spatial resolution, recent advances in technology afford more precise mapping. Here, we extended previous methods, connective field mapping, to 3 dimensions to provide a more concise estimate of the organization and potential information transformation from one region to another. We first replicated previous work with the 3 dimensional model by showing that the topology of functional connectivity between early visual regions maintained along their eccentricity axis or the anteriorposterior dimension. We then examined higher order visual regions (e,g, fusiform face area) and showed that their pattern of connectivity, the convergence and biased sampling, seem to contribute to some of their core receptive field properties. We further demonstrated that linearity of input is a fundamental aspect of functional connectivity of the whole brain, with higher linearity between regions within a network than across networks; that is, high connective linearity was evident between early visual areas, and between prefrontal areas, but less evident between them. By decomposing the whole brain linearity matrix with manifold learning techniques, we found that the principle mode of the linearity maps onto decompositions in both functional connectivity and genetic expression reported in previous studies. The current work provides evidence supporting that linearity of input is likely a fundamental motif of functional connectivity between regions for information processing across the brain, with high linearity preserving the integrity of information from one region to another within a network.

On some biochemical physiognomies of two common Darjeeling tea cultivars in relation to blister blight disease

Abstract Tea, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze, an agro-based industry, is considered as one of the prime sector of exporting resources and thus considered as “cash-crop”. Earlier report shows that tea is native to eastern and northern India, which was cultivated and consumed there since long back. Presently, more scientific reports confirmed the health-benefit traits of tea and awareness increased to a greater extent and in this regard, tea has gained its best worldwide popularity. Darjeeling Tea attained its highest acceptance globally for its pre-eminence in flavour, colour and taste and thus crop improvement is the prime interest to the Indian Scientific Community. Blister blight disease, a common disorder of tea bushes (Exobasidium vexans, a Basidiomycetes fungus) causes drastic damage of tea plantation. Depending on quality production, two common cultivars were released by TRA, Jorhat, Assam viz. Bannockburn – 157 (B-157) and Ambei Valai - 2 (AV-2), of which B-157 is susceptible to the Blister Blight and AV-2 is fairly resistant cultivar. Some biochemical considerations between the two cultivars have been made here for understanding the biochemical reasons behind the resistant characteristics. Plant secondary metabolites, like total phenol, proanthocynadin, total soluble protein provide defending feature against disease onset. AV-2 cultivar shows advantage over B-157 in these regard. Depending on band intensity analysis of native gels, acid phosphatase, catechol oxidase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase occur in superior amount in AV-2 cultivar than that of B-157. The specific role of these enzymes in blister blight disease compatibility of two cultivars studied has been discussed.
Analysis of Students' Critical Thinking Skills in Physics Problems

This study aims to determine the proportion of students' level of critical thinking skills on the subject of Impulse and Momentum, any difficulties experienced by students to reach the level of critical thinking skills, and solutions to overcome the difficulties of students achieving critical thinking skills. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The subjects of this study were 27 students taken by purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques in this study are tests of critical thinking skills, interviews, and observation. Data analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. The results showed that each student's ability, high ability students 36.84%, medium ability 34.50%, low ability 22.80% divided into two categories of KBK 2 with a percentage of 52.63% and KBK 1 with a percentage of 23, 94%. From the results of the study also obtained the achievement of students every KBK indicator. Student achievement in the Interpretation indicator of 51.58% Analysis 18.75% Evaluation 13.87% Inference 31.48% Explication 14.19% and Self Regulation 26.85%. So KBK students as a whole are in the low category with a percentage of 31.38%. The cause of students 'difficulties in fulfilling CBC indicators is the limited ability of students to formulate and find other alternatives, the completion of students' answers is difficult to draw conclusions and connect substance between materials, and has not been studied in depth so students tend to be careless in solving problems. The solution that can be used is to provide more experience to students in terms of critical thinking skills and additional learning outside school hours.
A Simple Metabolic Switch May Activate Apomixis in Arabidopsis thaliana

A Simple Metabolic Switch May Activate Apomixis in Arabidopsis thaliana by David Alan Sherwood, Doctor of Philosophy Utah State University, 2018 Major Professor: Dr. John G. Carman Department: Plants, Soils and Climate Apomixis, asexual or clonal seed production in plants, can decrease the cost of producing hybrid seed and enable currently open pollinated crops to be converted to more vigorous and higher yielding hybrids. Apomixis can also accelerate plant breeding programs by enabling the selection and perpetuation of individuals with unique genetic combinations rather than using uniform inbreds. Facultative apomictic plants can switch between sexual and apomictic reproduction based on stress signaling. RNAseq studies identified differentially expressed genes and enriched GO categories suggesting that a stress-induced down regulation of growth phase genes may be responsible for the shift from apomictic to sexual reproduction. The initiation of stress signaling during female meiosis (megasporogenesis) was analyzed in the wildtype obligately sexual Arabidopsis thaliana by the co-analysis of meiocyte callose accumulation and chromosome condensation. The onset of callose accumulation generally occurred within 3 hours after the lights came on in the morning and coincided with pachytene, the 3rd step of meiotic prophase I that generally fails in apomictic plants. Topical application of glucose or brassinosteroids, within the correct developmental window, was used to halt stress
Enhanced TF binding site maps improve regulatory networks learned from accessible chromatin data

Determining where transcription factors (TF) bind in genomes provides insights into which transcriptional programs are active across organs, tissue types, and environmental conditions. Recent advances in high-throughput profiling of regulatory DNA have yielded large amounts of information about chromatin accessibility. Interpreting the functional significance of these datasets requires knowledge of which regulators are likely to bind these regions. This can be achieved by using information about TF binding preferences, or motifs, to identify TF binding events that are likely to be functional. Although different approaches exist to map motifs to DNA sequences, a systematic evaluation of these tools in plants is missing. Here we compare four motif mapping tools widely used in the Arabidopsis research community and evaluate their performance using chromatin immunoprecipitation datasets for 40 TFs. Downstream gene regulatory network (GRN) reconstruction was found to be sensitive to the motif mapper used. We further show that the low recall of FIMO, one of the most frequently used motif mapping tools, can be overcome by using an Ensemble approach, which combines results from different mapping tools. Several examples are provided demonstrating how the Ensemble approach extends our view on transcriptional control for TFs active in different biological processes. Finally, a new protocol is presented to efficiently derive more complete cell type-specific GRNs through the integrative analysis of open chromatin regions, known binding site information, and expression datasets.
The Role of Stickiness, Extrapolation and Past Consensus Forecasts in Macroeconomic Expectations

We propose a simple model of expectation formation with three distinct deviations from fully rational expectations. In particular, forecasters’ expectations are sticky, extrapolate the most recent news about the current period, and depend on the lagged consensus forecast about the period being forecast. We find that all three biases are present in the Survey of Professional Forecaster as well as in the Livingston Survey, and that their magnitudes depend on the forecasting horizon. Moreover, in an over-identified econometric specification, we find that the restriction on coefficients implied by our model is always close to being satisfied and in most cases not rejected. We also stress the point that using the past consensus forecast to form expectations is a rather smart thing to do if cognitive limitations and biases cause any attempt to build an own rational forecast to fail.
Potential strategies for the mainstream application of anammox in treatment of anaerobic effluents - A review

Abstract The integration of anaerobic treatment technologies using the anammox process could be a sustainable wastewater treatment option for the removal of carbon and nitrogen. This review summarizes the possible limiting factors and the prospects of overcoming them for the successful application of anammox in the mainstream anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater at low temperatures. Potential areas for mainstream application of anammox covered in this review include integrated nitrogen removal processes with anammox to deal with nitrate production, process engineering of operational parameters to address the effect of organic carbon, low temperature, and nitrite competition. In addition, this review also discusses the emerging issues of micro pollutant removal using the anammox process. The main conclusions of this review are (1) integration of anammox with other autotrophic denitrification processes can help to reduce effluent nitrate concentrations. (2) Access limitation of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) to dissolved oxygen (DO) in the form of step aeration can be possible approaches to win the competition over nitrite. (3) Demonstration of anammox treatment of municipal anaerobic effluents under real treatment conditions at low temperature and more understanding of complex interactions of anammox with anaerobic effluent should be addressed in the future.
A Combined Behavioral and Neuroimaging Battery to Test Positive Appraisal Style Theory of Resilience in Longitudinal Studies

Resilience is the maintenance or rapid recovery of mental health during and after stressor exposure. It is becoming increasingly clear that resilience results from a complex and dynamic process of adaptation to stressors involving the biological, psychological and social levels. Positive appraisal style theory of resilience (PASTOR) claims that the common final pathway to maintained mental health lies in the non-negative (non-catastrophizing, non-pessimistic) appraisal of potential stressors, permitting the organism to fine-tune stress responses to optimal levels, thus avoiding unnecessary stress, inefficient deployment of resources and concomitant deleterious allostatic load effects. Successful adaptation consists in developing or strengthening a positive appraisal style. Another key element of PASTOR is that a positive appraisal style is strongly determined by the efficacy and efficiency of the neural and cognitive processes that underlie positive stressor appraisal. We here present a combined behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) battery designed to assess such processes repeatedly in longitudinal settings. The battery includes tests of stress reactivity and recovery, reward sensitivity, safety learning and memory in the context of fear conditioning and extinction, volitional situation-focused reappraisal, volitional self-focused reappraisal, and emotional interference inhibition, along with structural MRI and resting-state MRI scans. A detailed description of the battery methods is provided. The feasibility of the battery was successfully tested in N=55 healthy subjects; group results of the individual tasks largely replicate existing literature.
Genetic diversity analysis among soybean genotypes using SSR markers in Uganda

The assessment of genetic diversity among improved crop germplasm can facilitate the expansion of the genetic base for crop improvement in breeding program. However, little effort has been made to assess the level of genetic relatedness among released varieties and elite soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. ] genotypes. The objective of this study was to determine the degree of genetic diversity that exists among released and elite soybean genotypes in Uganda. In this study, 21 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers were used to determine the degree of genetic diversity and varietal identification among 34 soybean genotypes. A total of 59 alleles with an average of 2.85 alleles per locus were detected. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.208 on BE806308 to 0.741 on Satt411, with an average of 0.5870. The expected heterozygosity varied from 0.208 on BE806308 to 0.725 on Satt411, with an average of 0.548 per marker. The dendrogram constructed based on Jaccard’s genetic similarities among 34 soybean genotypes identified three major clusters, with six of the released varieties belonging to cluster I. The majority of elite genotypes including three recently released cultivars; Maksoy 4N, Maksoy 5N and Maksoy 6N were grouped in cluster II and III. The results showed moderate genetic variation among the soybean genotypes, which could accelerate genetic vulnerability. Therefore, there is need to widen the genetic base of the working germplasm through the use of techniques such as pre-breeding and novel biotechnology techniques such as mutation breeding and CRISPR to create genetic variation necessary to cope with the dynamics of biotic and abiotic stresses that affect soybean production in Uganda. Key words: Glycine max, genetic relationship, microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR), molecular markers, genetic vulnerability.
