Authors: Aier Imnatemjen , Nongmaithem D.
Published: December 2022

Background: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and an important food crop of the world, ranking in 4th place as an important source of edible oil and as an important source of vegetable protein in 3rd place. However, the preferred pH for growing of groundnut is a pH of (6.5-7) which is slightly acidic or neutral. So for the crop to grow in a favorable soil pH, liming is required. Groundnut being an oilseed crop requires fertilization for high crop production. The farmers though aware of the fertilization in crops, are confined mostly in NPK fertilizers and negligence especially in sulphur fertilizer is common, however sulphur in oilseed crop is one of the key elements required to produce protein, oil and flavored compounds as well as to ensure quality. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in the Experimental Research Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University during the kharif season 2018 entitled “Effect of lime and levels of sulphur in nutrient content and uptake by Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)”. The experimental design was split plot design with three replications. The main plot treatments consisted of two lime levels: L0: lime @ 0 t ha-1, L1: lime @ 3 t ha-1 and the sub- plot treatments consisted of five sulphur levels: S0: sulphur @ 0 kg ha-1, S1: sulphur @ 10 kg ha-1, S2: sulphur @ 20 kg ha-1, S3: sulphur @ 30 kg ha-1, S4: sulphur @ 40 kg ha-1. Result: The study showed that application of lime and sulphur, along with recommended dose of fertilizer NPK (20:60:40) showed increased yield and an increase in N, P, K and S content in groundnut, resulting in a significant increase in the uptake of N, P, K and S by plant.

Published: December 2022

En este artículo analizamos si ciertos nombres deverbales de evento y de resultado aparecen en construcciones con verbo soporte en latín y de qué tipo. En concreto, estudiamos los nombres aedificatio ‘edificación’ e insitio ‘injerto’, que admiten tanto una lectura eventiva como una resultativa; conspiratio ‘conspiración’, que funciona únicamente como nombre de evento; y el nombre de resultado inflatio ‘hinchazón’. Este análisis nos permitirá demostrar que ambos tipos de nombres participan en construcciones con verbo soporte y que, consecuentemente, este hecho no supone un criterio útil para diferenciarlos.

Published: December 2022

Solving mathematics word problem is an example of problem solving which is helpful to everyday life, but not all students can easily solve it. Most students have difficulty and errors in solving it. Researchers often find in journal information that students struggle to complete a story. In some cases, it is a matter of mathematically shaped stories in the matter of cartesian coordinates. More than a few students are uneasy to solve mathematics word problem. In fact, many students have not known the concept of cartesian coordinates. The purpose of this study is to describe the type of error and the factors that cause students to make a mistake in solving mathematics word problem especially cartesian coordinates with the correct step of understanding the problem, formulating a plan, carrying out a plan, and examining the answer. It is a qualitative study carried out at public junior high school 2 Sukodono. The data of this study consist of data on written tests and interviews with the group A of VIII-A SMPN 2 Sukodono students. The method of data collection of this research is tests and interviews. The method of data analysis in this study id data reduction, test results analysis, display data, and withdrawal or verification. The subject of this study the three students who the most errors. Studies show made that the flaw of subjects 1, subject 2, and subject 3 lie in the understanding of the problem, formulating a plan, carrying out a plan, and examining answer. According to Polya, the three students had problem at the stage of solving mathematics word problem therefore, the three subjects could not continue the work at the next phase of formulalting a plan, carrying out a plan, and examining answer. The cause of the students’ mistakes is that the students did not understand the concept of the matter’s coordinates.

Management of Adnexa Foreign Body: A Piece of Mica from a Broken Helmet
Authors: Hapsari Windya Tri , Doemilah Ratna
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Adnexa foreign body is one of the classifications of extraocular foreign body. Visual prognosis depends on the zone of injury, type, and size of the foreign body and subsequent complications. Case presentation: A 5-year-old girl came to the outpatient clinic with her parent with chief complaints of swelling and pain in the left lower eyelid after a motorcycle accident five months ago. The patient was hit by a piece of mica from a broken helmet in her left eye. The patient complained that her left eye was red,  swollen, and difficult to be opened. She was referred to one of the ophthalmologists in Jember and then referred to Dr. Soetomo Hospital for the diagnosis of a conjunctival tumor in the left eye. The visual acuity of both eyes was 5/5. There was conjunctival hyperemia and a foreign body of glass or mica in the inferior fornix. CT scan imaging revealed corpus alienum with the size of 1.05 x 0.5 x 2.1 cm in the subcutan of the left inferior eyelid and ciliary body with swollen tissue around the corpus alienum. The patient was planning to extract the foreign body. Discussion: Definitive management was surgical. Corpus alienum extraction depends on the composition and size of the object. Adnexa foreign body management in the fornix was challenging because of the narrowing of the operating space. It was essential to identify the material type of the foreign body and the mechanism of injury because it impacts the step of the technique. Conclusion: Adnexa foreign body is one of the emergency cases in ophthalmology. The extraction technique depends on the object's composition and size because it impacts the step of the operation technique.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Sight is one of the most important senses that absorbs more than 80% of visual information. However, visual disturbances are common, ranging from mild to severe disturbances that can lead to blindness. A cataract is the leading cause of blindness in Indonesia; it is accountable for 77.7% of all blindness. Phacoemulsification is a new ECCE technique in which cloudy or cataractous lenses are removed through a 2-3 mm incision with no sutures. The advantages of this small incision are faster visual recovery, minimal astigmatic induction due to surgery, and minimal postoperative complications and inflammation. Purpose: This study aimed to measure visual outcomes in senile cataract patients after phacoemulsification surgery at Griya Husada Eye Center, Madiun, Indonesia. Methods: A Retrospective study was carried out among senile cataract patients who had phacoemulsification surgery at Griya Husada Eye Center, Madiun, Indonesia between January and May 2021. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was recorded on the fourteenth day. Results: From 292 patients, postoperative visual acuity in the good category (6/6 - 6/18) was 94.9%, in the moderate category (<6/18 - 6/60) was 1.7%, and in the poor category (<6/60) was 3.4%. Conclusions: Postoperative visual acuity with phacoemulsification at Griya Husada Eye Center, Madiun, Indonesia showed satisfactory results and met World Health Organization’s (WHO) standards.

Correlating Electrode Degradation with Weldability of Galvanized BH 220 Steel during Electrode Failure Process of Resistance Spot Welding
Authors: Zhao Dawei , Vdonin Nikita , Bezgans Yuriy , Radionova Liudmila , Glebov Lev
Published: December 2022

Electrode degradation in continuous resistance spot welding process of BH 220 steel was evaluated by electrode life test, and weldability tests were conducted by geometry features measurement, mechanical property analysis, and electrode diameter measurement with 88 or 176 weld intervals. The analysis of weld geometry shows that the HAZ width, nugget diameter, and nugget area tend to decrease rapidly, while the nugget height tends to firstly increase with the weld repetitions till the welding heat input becomes too small to form the valid nugget. The peak load shows a rapid downward trend, while failure energy and maximum displacement slightly increase till the 176th weld and then decrease. The cavities and pores in the nugget mainly appear after the 176th spot weld. The electrode diameter increases during welding. The reason for the increase in electrode diameter may be that the contact area between the electrode and BH 220 steel sheets becomes smaller in the welding process, which causes the continuous sticking phenomenon between the electrode and the BH 220 steel sheets. In the absence of alloying, the edge of the electrode is geometrically deformed, while Cu-Zn-Fe alloying occurs in the area in contact with the BH 220 steel sheet.
Biopolymers Recovery from Aerobic Granular Sludge Treating Industrial Wastewater: Preliminary Analysis of Different Carbon Routes for Organic Carbon Utilization
Authors: Traina Francesco , Corsino Santo Fabio , Torregrossa Michele , Viviani Gaspare
Published: December 2022

Valorization of excess sludge through the recovery of high-value products, such as biopolymers, could be a crucial step to implement circular economy principles in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In this frame, the present study was aimed at evaluating the simultaneous production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), obtainable from the treatment of an agro-industrial wastewater. Two biological systems, one implementing aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and the other a conventional activated sludge operating as a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) were operated for 204 and 186 days, respectively. Both the systems involved a three-stage process for mixed microbial culture enrichment and biopolymers accumulation. The maximum biopolymers accumulation capacity was close to 0.60 mg gVSS-1 in the AGS when the enrichment reactor was operated at 3 kgCODm-3d-1, whereas in the SBR it was slightly more than half (0.35 mg gVSS-1). Biopolymers extracted from the AGS were mainly constituted by EPS (>70%), which percentage increased with the organic loading rate applied in the enrichment reactor up to 95%. In contrast, SBR enabled to obtain a higher PHA production (50% of the biopolymers). Results suggested that organic carbon was mainly channeled toward metabolic pathways for extracellular storing in AGS, likely as a consequence of metabolic stressors (e.g., hydraulic selection pressure, shear forces) applied for promoting aerobic granulation.
Viability Selection at Linked Sites
Authors: Eldon Bjarki
Published: December 2022

Evolutionary ecology may be described as explaining ecology through evolution and vice versa, but one may also view it as an integration of the two fields, where one takes the view that ecology and evolution are inseparable, and one can only begin to understand the biology of organisms by synthesizing the two fields. An example of such a synthesis is the biology of high fecundity and the associated concept of sweepstakes reproduction, or skewed individual recruitment success. As an illustration we consider selection at linked sites under various dominance and epistasis mechanisms in a diploid population evolving according to random sweepstakes and experiencing recurrent bottlenecks. Using simulations we give a few examples of the impact of the stated elements on selection. We show that depending on the dominance mechanisms random sweepstakes can shorten the time to fixation (conditional on fixation) of the fit type at all sites. Bottlenecks tend to increase the fixation time, with random sweepstakes counteracting the effects of bottlenecks on the fixation time. Understanding the effect of random sweepstakes, recurrent bottlenecks, dominance mechanisms and epistasis on the fate of selectively advantageous mutations may help with explaining genetic diversity in natural highly fecund populations possibly evolving under sweepstakes reproduction.
Ghost Hunting: Insects Retain Ancestral Abdominal Legs in a Truncated Form
Authors: Bruce Heather S. , Patel Nipam H.
Published: December 2022

An iconic feature of insects is the apparent lack of legs on the abdomen, which is believed to be due to the repression of the leg-patterning gene Distalless (Dll) by abdominal Hox genes. However, in contrast to these molecular observations, it is not widely appreciated that the embryos of most insect groups do in fact form paired protrusions on most abdominal segments, which degenerate to form the abdominal exoskeleton. These embryonic abdominal legs appear to be homologous to the thoracic legs. To resolve this discordance between molecular and morphological observations, the expression patterns of pannier and araucan, genes known to distinguish proximal leg segments in all arthropods, are examined in embryos of the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. In Tribolium embryos, paired protrusions are observed on most abdominal segments and the stripes of pnr and ara expression that delineate the proximal leg segments of the thorax are seen to continue unabated through all abdominal segments. Thus, insects retain abdominal legs in a truncated form that were inherited from their crustacean ancestors. These cryptic, truncated abdominal legs appear to serve as an important wellspring of new structures and functions in insects, such as caterpillar prolegs, gills, and leaf-like camouflage structures.

Published: December 2022

The study of the human microbiome is a multidisciplinary area that affects from the field of technology to that of personalized medicine. The possibility of using microbiota biomarkers for the improvement in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases (e.g. cancer), health conditions (e.g. obesity) or clinical parameters (e.g. ageing) has aroused great expectations, also in the scope of bio-electroanalytical chemistry. The well-known advantages of electrochemical transduction: high sensitivity, rapid response and possibility of miniaturization, together with the potential of new nanomaterials to improve both the design of electrode platforms and the performance of the resulting electrochemical biosensors make presumably a huge development in the next few years providing a better understanding of human microbiome entities. In this review article, the recent applications of electrochemical (bio)sensors for monitoring microbial metabolites and biomarkers of diseases related to different types of the human microbiome, with a special focus on the gastrointestinal microbiome, are reviewed. Examples of electrochemical devices applied to real samples are critically discussed as well as the challenges and prospects to be faced.
Apiaceae Medicinal Plants: A Review of Traditional Uses, Phytochemistry, Bolting and Flowering, and Controlling Approaches
Authors: Li Meiling , Li Min , Wang Li , Li Mengfei , Wei Jianhe
Published: December 2022

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Apiaceae plants have been widely used as traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) for the treatment of removing dampness to relieve pain, relaxing tendons, and activating blood, as well as relieving superficies and dispelling cold. Aim of the review: This review aims to summarize the traditional use, phytochemistry, and modern pharmacological use of Apiaceae medicinal plants (AMPs), highlight the effect of bolting and flowering (BF) on yield and quality, and provide a basis for controlling the BF. Materials and methods: All literatures involved in AMPs were searched using various online databases (e.g., PubMed, Web of science, Google Scholar, Springer, and CNKI). Additional information was collected from ethnobotanical literature focusing on herbs from Flora of China and local herbal classic literature. Result: A total of 228 AMPs have been recorded to be used as TCMs, with 6 medicinal parts (i.e., the whole plants, rhizomes and/or roots, stems, leaves, fruits, and seeds) categorized, 72 traditional uses (e.g., relieving pain, dispelling wind, and eliminating dampness) enriched, 62 modern pharmacological uses (e.g., anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antitumor activities) enriched, and 5 main kinds of metabolites (i.e., polysaccharides, alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, and terpenoids) categorized. Based on the influence level of BF on the yield and quality, 38 rhizomatous AMPs are categorized into 3 classes including: significantly affected, differently affected to some extent, and no significantly affected. Although the mechanism of BF inducing the rhizome lignification has been revealed to some extent, and several attempts have been made to control the BF, especially in Angelica sinensis, the problem of BF has not been solved in the practical production. Conclusions: So far, the traditional use of the 228 AMPs has been recorded, while the phytochemistry and modern pharmacological researches are still limited, thus, it is a treasure to find out new therapeutic agents. Since the BF regulated by internal factors and external factors have been demonstrated, and several key genes involved in BF have been identified, thus, it is available to control the BF by planting with standard techniques and innovating new cultivars using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. This review will provide useful references for the exploration and utilization, as well as the improvement of yield and quality of AMPs.
Extreme Heights of 15 January 2022 Tonga Volcanic Plume and Its Initial Evolution Inferred from COSMIC-2 RO Measurements
Authors: Ravindra Babu Saginela , Lin Neng-Huei
Published: December 2022

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano (20.57°S, 175.38°W) violently erupted on 15 January 2022. The volcanic plume evolution during its initial stages is delineated by using Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC)-2 radio occultation (RO) measurements. The bending angle (BA) anomaly over the Tonga volcanic plume (within 200 km from the eruption center) at 5:17 UTC on 15 January shows a prominent peak at higher stratospheric heights. The top of the BA anomaly revealed that negative to positive change occurred at ~38 km indicating the first height where the RO line-of-sight encounters the volcanic plume. The BA anomaly further revealed an increase of ~50% at ~36 km and confirms the volcanic plume reached above ~36 km. Further, the evolution of BA perturbations within 24 hours after the initial explosion is also discussed. From collocated RO profiles with the volcanic plume, we find a clear descending of the peak altitude of the BA perturbation from ~36 km to ~30 km within 24 hours after the initial eruption. The results from the study will provide some insights into advancing our understanding of volcanic cloud dynamics and their implementation in volcanic plume modeling.

Insights from the Alabama Hills into Mesozoic Magmatism and Tectonics in Eastern California
Authors: Frazer Ryan E. , Gaynor Sean P. , Coleman Drew S. , Wenner Jennifer M.
Published: December 2022

New zircon U-Pb ages for the Alabama Hills Granite in Owens Valley, eastern California, range from 103 to 102 Ma, nearly 20 Ma older than previously published zircon ages. The data preclude previously implied links between the pluton and the adjacent Late Cretaceous Mount Whitney Intrusive Suite. Geochronologic and isotopic data indicate a connection between the Alabama Hills Granite and leucogranites to the northwest on the Sierra Nevada crest, as well as a pluton to the southeast in the Coso Range. We refer to these units as the Kearsarge plutons. The suite was intruded from 103 to 100.5 Ma with S87r/S86ri=0.7045 to 0.7060 and εNdi=−2.4 to -4.5 and has distinctive enrichments in high field strength, middle, and heavy rare earth elements, as well as negative Eu anomalies and high Y/Sr. We suggest the Alabama Hills block could not have moved more than 10 km dextrally relative to the Sierra Nevada batholith since the Middle Jurassic and is thus a suitable piercing point for offsets across Owens Valley. The Kearsarge plutons, like other markers on either side of Owens Valley, support approximately 65–75 km of dextral offset across the valley. The suite’s location east of other middle Cretaceous suites, coupled with its mantle-like isotope geochemistry, suggests it could represent backarc magmatism, perhaps controlled by preexisting shear zones or fractures.

The Gas Injection technique increased the productivity index and rates temporarily in sandstones reservoirs suffering from compaction and fines migration, causing solids to deposit and build up in completion screens. It also increases temperature profile from the well, assisting in flow assurance issues and minimizing possibility of dynamic hydrate formation. The gas injection operation is performed periodically, shutting the well and injecting gas - through gas lift lines - into the wellbore passing by the completion screens. Due to the risk of hydrate formation, an inhibitor is injected to avoid this issue in both wellbore and jumper flowlines. The operation comprises of an injection target at controlled rate of 4 MMSCFD. Once performed, the well is brought back online. It is then evaluated the well performance aligned to a test separator, comparing current production figures to reference values prior to the gas injection operation. The mechanism of gas being injected into the wellbore will push the fines away from the completion screens, restoring the flow area. The results have shown an average increase of 21% of oil production with a lasting effect of ten days until it reaches same production figures as pre-injection reference figures. It has also been observed an increase of the well temperature profile (bottom hole and wellhead temperature transmitters), assisting in preventing dynamic hydrate formation and minimizing operational costs reducing continuous hydrate inhibitor injection rates for this well. Integrity risks have been considered and assessed with regards to reservoir, well completion and subsea system, with no major risks being identified. This technique presents a way to obtain production increase with no major intervention or downtime, at a low cost, extending the life cycle of producing wells in mature fields using means already available (in fields that use gas lift as artificial lift system). Secondarily, it will also assist in flow assurance issues with temperature increase and preventing dynamic hydrate formation.
Grow Newtonian rigid inertia into parameter repetitiveness memory equivalent bio-inertia over the “super-simultaneousness” of quantum mechanics for growth turnover selection inheritance
Authors: Lai Yi Yu
Published: December 2022

Inversion energy is defined as parameter-against-gravity-internal-fluctuation, the non-simultaneousness in correlated internal fluctuations is quantizing time. Modified Newtonian Three Laws are, first: 𝑑 𝑑𝑥 cosx =−𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥, 𝑑 𝑑𝑥 sinx = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥; second: 𝐹⃗ = 𝑚 ∙ 𝑎⃗ + |𝑚𝑔⃗ ∫ 𝑡𝑔𝜃 ⋅ 𝑑𝜃 ⟩ ↿⇂; third: Wavelength = 2 𝑛 L, frequency = n𝑓0 . Bio-systems are topological spaces that can process input objects into inversion energy for entropy-control by repetitiveness memory, the capability of equivalent procured inversion energy with memorized trigonometric repetitiveness by quantizing time is bio-inertia. Evolution grows the trigonometric folding equivalent capacity of a topological space. Schrödinger equation has only quantized energy but hasn’t quantized time thus inducing quantum collapse. We then write the gravitational growth turnover equation as 𝑯̂𝜓 = 𝑬𝜓 + ∑ | cos( 1 𝑛 𝑛 𝑥)⟩ to reverse super-simultaneous quantum collapse for lifespan. Originating from elastic quantum scale differences between Planck regions and surface tension regions, bio quantum duality grows in vivo cross folded-surface tension region flow. Life relies on trigonometric negentropy procured from elastic entropy generation ground states and physically inherit by bio quantum growth turnover selection.

The objective of this research is to determine the dietary relevance of the plants consumed by the inhabitants of Aspero, an urban center on the coast of the Supe Valley, Peru. For this purpose, starch grains trapped in the human dental calculus of eleven individuals were recovered. Additionally, the results of one individual recovered from the Sacred City of Caral, located in the interior of Supe Valley, are presented. The high number of starch grains recovered from sweet potato and squash possibly indicates a frequent consumption of these starchy plant foods by the inhabitants of Áspero. These results are consistent with previously published isotopic analyses indicating that C3 plants were an important part of the diet of the Áspero inhabitants. Although our results indicate that there was maize consumption at Áspero and Sacred City of Caral, our results and previous isotopic analyses performed on the same individuals, show that maize was not fundamental in the diet of the origins of the civilization. Finally, based on the damage patterns in starch grains, we report the first direct evidence of possible maize fermentation during the Initial Formative Period. Considering the economic and ritual importance of fermented beverage consumption in the ethnohistoric and archaeological record of later periods, this finding could have critical implications for understanding the process of social complexity in the region.

Objective:Commercial health insurance is an important link in both establishing a multi-layer social security system and as a means of facilitating social fairness and the distribution of wealth. This study evaluates the influence of commercial health insurance on resident income inequality and analyses its influencing mechanism from the perspective of catastrophic medical expenditures.Method:7,404 research samples from the China General Social survey (CGSS) hybrid databases for the years 2015, 2017, and 2018 were analysed. The influence of commercial health insurance on resident income inequality and its mechanism of action were tested through an OLS regression model and mediating effect model.Results:Commercial health insurance inhibits resident income inequality significantly, especially for respondents below 60 years of age in rural areas and western China. Commercial health insurance was found to relieve resident income inequality by lowering the occurrence rate of catastrophic medical expenditures.Conclusions:The complementary advantages of government and market mechanisms should be developed fully to accelerate the coordinated development of basic medical insurance and commercial medical insurance. Moreover, considerations should be given to differences among groups. It is suggested that the public should be relieved of the financial burden of major and critical diseases, that the differences in residents’ income levels should be narrowed, and that the distribution of wealth should be facilitated.

The sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, empagliflozin (EMPA), and dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor, sotagliflozin (SOTA) are emerging as heart failure (HF) medications beyond their glucose-lowering-effects in diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the precise mechanism underlying this cardioprotective effect has not yet been elucidated. Here, we evaluated the effects of EMPA and SOTA in a DM combined with HF with reduced ejection fraction (DM-HFrEF) zebrafish model. The myocardial contractile functions and motility were evaluated by MicroZebraLab and DanioVision, respectively. The structural binding and modulating effect of the two medications on sodium-hydrogen exchanger 1 (NHE1) was evaluatedin silicoandin vitro. DM-HFrEF zebrafish showed impaired cardiac contractility and decreased motility and survival, all of which were improved by 5 µM EMPA or SOTA treatment. However, the 25 µM SOTA treatment group had worse survival rates and less motility preservation than the EMPA treatment group with the same concentration, and an epicardial edema and uninflated swim bladder were observed. We evaluated the structural binding and modulation effect of the two medications on NHE1 bothin silicoandin vitro. The SOTA, EMPA and cariporide (CARI) showed a similar structural binding affinity to NHE1. In addition, EMPA, SOTA, and CARI effectively reduced intracellular H+, Na+and Ca2+changes through the inhibition of NHE1 activity. These findings suggest that both EMPA and SOTA exert cardioprotective effect in DM-HFrEF zebrafish model through the inhibition of NHE1 activity. In addition, despite the similar cardioprotective effects of both drugs, SOTA may be less effective than EMPA at high concentrations.

Clinical data bases typically include, for each patient, many heterogeneous features, for example blood exams, the clinical history before the onset of the disease, the evolution of the symptoms, the results of imaging exams, and many others. Using subsets of these features, one can measure the similarity between two patients in several different manners. We here propose to exploit a recently developed statistical approach, the information imbalance, to compare these different similarity measures, and quantify their relative information content. We apply this approach to a data set of ~ 1,300 COVID-19 patients in Udine hospital before October 2021. Using this approach we find (asymmetric) relationships between single features and systematically compare subsets of up to 20 different features as COVID-19 severity predictors. The identified features can be measured at the moment of the admission of the patient and, if used in combination, are maximally informative of the clinical fate and of the severity of the disease. The approach can be used also if the features are available only for a fraction of the patients and, importantly, is able to select automatically features with small inter-feature correlation.
Low alanine aminotransferase activity gene variant in a Siberian Husky with copper-associated hepatopathy
Authors: Kim Christine , Loftus John P , Huson Heather J.
Published: December 2022

Background
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is commonly used as a marker of hepatocellular injury. Increased serum ALT activity due to hepatocyte injury occurs in copper-associated hepatopathy (CuCH) and other necroinflammatory liver conditions. Blood ALT concentrations are frequently used to monitor therapy in cases of CuCH. Low serum ALT activities have been associated with an allele at the CFA13 locus.
Case presentation:
A 9-year-old female spayed Siberian Husky was diagnosed with CuCH (hepatic copper dry weight 2680 µg/g [normal, 120–400 µg/g; toxic, > 1500 µg/g]) and a normal ALT (78 U/L; reference range, 10–125 U/L). Mild hepatocellular necrosis was evident histologically. Genetic testing (Embark) revealed that the dog was heterozygous for the low ALT activity gene allele.
Conclusions
This case report illustrates the clinical implications for diagnosing and managing necroinflammatory liver disease such as CuCH in dogs with a low ALT activity genotype.
