The article presents a systematic analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the pathogenesis of sepsis in animals, which is an urgent problem of modern veterinary medicine. One of the tasks of the study is to consider the methods allowing timely prevention of organ failure caused by the syndrome of systemic inflammatory response. Violation of the adequate response of the immune system to pathogenic microorganisms leads to multifactorial pathological changes in the animal's body, accompanied by fever and depression, as well as changes in neutrophil function. Pathogenesis is based on the imbalance between intense inflammation and immune response. The development of secondary immunodeficiency leads to various abnormalities. Hemodynamic disorders are characterized by capillary spasm and dystonia.
In leptospirosis of dogs, the result of hemolysis is hypoxemia, which leads to tissue hypoxia, tissue acidosis and aggravates metabolic disorders. At the same time, vascular wall permeability increases, edema and multiple hemorrhages appear in the tissues. Profound changes occur in the liver and kidneys, as well as in the lymph nodes.
Cats with panleukopenia usually have elevated azotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and bilirubin, and hypokalemia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypoglycemia are noted.
The PIRO and SAPS scales help not only to select timely intensive therapy for patients with sepsis, but also to prevent the onset and progression of persistent sepsis.

Infectious bronchitis of chickens is an extremely dangerous disease for the health and productivity of young and adult laying hens. The aim of the work was to study the effect of recombinant human interferon alpha-2b on the reproduction of vaccine strains of infectious bronchitis pathogens in chickens on SPF embryos of chickens. SPF embryos aged 9–10 days and vaccine strains of H-120 and A/91 viruses of infectious bronchitis of chickens were used. The injection of viral particles in the experimental group was carried out together with recombinant interferon alpha-2b, and in the control group – without it. According to the method of Reed and Mench, the dose of the virus (LD50) was determined, leading to the death of 50 % of embryos. It was found that LgLD50 in the control group was equal to 7 and 3,86 for strains H-120 and A/91, respectively, and according to the results of the experimental group – 5,0 and 2,0. Thus, the inhibitory effect of recombinant alpha-2b interferon on the reproduction of vaccine strains of infectious bronchitis pathogens H-120 and A/91, when injected into SPF chicken embryos, was established.

The problem of bovine leukaemia is topical, as leukaemia causes great economic damage to livestock farming. Lack of attention to this problem for more than 30 years has led to widespread spread of the disease in Russia in livestock farms of various forms of ownership. Introduction of new veterinary rules aimed at prevention of spreading and elimination of bovine leukosis foci from 01 September 2021 to 01 September 2027 (approved by the order of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia from 24 March 2021 No. 156) is designed to radically eradicate the disease. At the current stage, veterinary measures are taken to identify infected susceptible animals, carry out restrictive measures (quarantine), send infected and sick susceptible animals for slaughter, and complete herds of cattle with healthy animals. In Primorsky Territory, according to the reports of the State Veterinary Service, the leukaemia infection rate in cattle during 2014–2018 remained at 19%. Our analysis shows that in 2023 compared to 2022, the number of infected and sick susceptible animals in Primorsky Territory decreased. This indicates a systematic removal of infected susceptible animals from the total number of cattle, as well as a positive trend in the work of specialists of the state veterinary service of Primorsky Territory to combat bovine leukaemia.

This paper presents the results of developing a method for obtaining a recombinant rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) for serological diagnostics. We performed a bioinformatics analysis of the genomes of rabies virus strains and epizootic isolates, determined the main immunogenic epitopes and other structures that affect the choice of glycoengineering strategy for protein expression. Recombinant DNA was constructed based on fragments of the rabies virus G gene. Based on the expression strain E. coli BL21(DE3), a producer strain was obtained that allows expressing a mature recombinant product with a molecular weight of ≈ 28 kDa. The purified protein had pronounced antigenic activity against specific antisera. The presented data open the possibility of using coliexpression to produce a recombinant analogue of glycoprotein G of the rabies virus. The resulting RVG is also of interest as the basis of a candidate recombinant rabies vaccine.

The morphological, cultural properties and virulence of the pathogenic test strain L. monocytogenes ATCC 766, the pathogenic wild strain L. monocytogenes (isolated from minced pork) and the non-pathogenic test strain L. innocua ATCC 33090 were studied in a comparative aspect. The experiments were carried out on selective nutrient media and laboratory white mice. The lethal dose of pathogenic Listeria grown on ALOA nutrient medium and Listeria nutrient agar (LAL) was determined. The studied Listeria showed differences in cultural characteristics and virulence.The data indicate a tendency towards lower adaptation of non–pathogenic Listeria cells in the body, since they exhibited weaker cultural characteristics and virulence compared to pathogenic Listeria.
The lethal dose — LD50 (according to Kerber) for L. monocytogenes ATCC 766 experimental mice was 10–2.8 CFU, and for the wild strain it was 10–3.2, indicating a higher level of virulence in the wild strain of Listeria. In the non–pathogenic L. innocua ATCC 33090 there was no lethality, while continuous (ignorable) growth of Listeria was noted when swabs from agar were inoculated at a dilution from 10–1 to 10–5.

Acceptance for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not an easy feat. They grapple with various challenges and pressures concerning their child's behavior as they grow up. As a result, parents begin seeking information about their child's behavior, symptoms, treatment options, therapy, agencies, and various other relevant matters as an initial step in their course of action. The conducted study aims to explore the perspectives of parents regarding the initial information required to navigate the challenges of raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A qualitative approach was chosen, utilizing purposive sampling of 24 parents who have children with autism, whether formally diagnosed by experts or currently undergoing treatment or therapy for the confirmation process. The findings from interviews were analyzed thematically and yielded four overarching themes: information channels and content, support services, treatments and therapies, and the trajectory of children with autism. In conclusion, parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are in dire need of early-stage information regarding this condition, ensuring that their child is on the appropriate path to meet their specific needs. Given that this study only explores the informational needs of parents, it is recommended that future research endeavors delve into the broader requirements of families with autism, including financial assistance, relevant agencies, training, and workshops to provide comprehensive support to families with children diagnosed with autism.

Integration of Theoretical Foundations and Practical Implications for Neutrosophic Set Theory in Real-Time Maintenance Decision Systems
Authors: Settu K  , M Jayalakshmi
Published: January 2025

In the present era, the concepts of neutrosophic set theory are essential for handling uncertain data with three distinct components. Researchers across various fields widely use these concepts due to their significant applications. Our world is filled with unpredictability, ambiguity, and vagueness, making it crucial to replace items at the appropriate time. This research paper focuses on the importance of addressing the replacement issue to improve reliability in maintenance scheduling. Ambiguity and uncertainty were present challenges in resolving maintenance issues. For example, the group replacement model has been solved using single-valued unique hexagonal neutrosophic numbers and the enhanced score function for hexagonal neutrosophic numbers (HNN) discussed in this paper. Additionally, the removal area method is used to determine the de-eutrophication of the linear neutrosophic hexagonal number, showing significant improvement in the clarification of HNN. MATLAB code is employed for de-eutrophication and to assess the effectiveness of this method. Numerical examples are provided to validate the proposed method. Using this enhanced score function, the replacement problem has been solved in a hexagonal neutrosophic environment. A comparative study was conducted between the established and proposed methods, which will benefit researchers in the field of neutrosophic domain in the future.

Background: Leprosy, primarily caused by Mycobacterium leprae, is a chronic infectious disease that mainly affects the skin and peripheral nerves. Type 2 leprosy reaction (ENL) is an immune complex-mediated complication characterized by inflammation of the skin, nerves, and other organs. A less common manifestation of ENL is necrotizing ENL, which presents with extensive skin necrosis and ulceration. This case report describes a rare presentation of necrotizing ENL with extensive ulceration in a young woman with borderline lepromatous leprosy.
Case presentation: A 20-year-old female presented with multiple, progressively enlarging, painless ulcers on her right leg and painful reddish nodules on her left arm and left leg. She had a history of borderline lepromatous leprosy. Dermatological examination revealed madarosis, infiltration, nodules, hyperpigmentation macules, ulcers, and blackish crusts. Sensory testing showed hypoesthesia in the abdomen and back, and anesthesia in both lower arms and legs. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of necrotizing ENL.
Conclusion: Necrotizing ENL is a rare and severe complication of leprosy. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management with multi-drug therapy and corticosteroids to prevent significant morbidity and disability.

This study aimed to analyze treatment patterns, side effects, and treatment response of FOLFOX and FOLFIRI in a real-world cohort of CRC patients.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on CRC patients who received FOLFOX or FOLFIRI between January 2020 and December 2023. Data on demographics, disease stage, chemotherapy regimen, side effects, comorbidities, and treatment response were collected from electronic medical records.
Results: A total of 146 patients were included. The majority were male (57.5%) with a mean of age 58.4 years. Most tumors were located in the rectum and sigmoid (75.3%), with over 50% of patients presenting with stage IV disease. FOLFIRI was the most common regimen (45.9%), followed by FOLFOX (36.3%). Common side effects included nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and hair loss. Hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity. A total of 79.5% of patients were alive after chemotherapy.
Conclusion: This study provides insights into the real-world treatment patterns and outcomes of FOLFOX and FOLFIRI in CRC patients. The choice of regimen appears to be influenced by factors such as disease stage and patient characteristics. Further research is needed to compare the efficacy and safety of these regimens and identify optimal treatment strategies for specific patient subgroups.
Guide to Tremie Concrete for Deep Foundations, 3rd Edition
Authors: EFFC/DFI Concrete Task Group
Published: January 2025

The primary purpose of this Guide is to give guidance on fresh concrete characterisation with respect to its performance, the concrete mix design process, and the methods used to test the fresh concrete. The principles of this Guide apply to tremie concrete for deep foundations but may also be applied for other forms of deep foundations (e.g. continuous flight auger piling). 

This Third Edition of the Tremie Guide includes a general review of the Second Edition, comprises more specific advice on testing fresh concrete (in a completely revised Section 5.3), emphasises the Task Group’s understanding of designing sustainable concrete (in a new Section 5.6), and gives an update on interpretation of concrete flow mechanisms made on the basis of numerical modelling (in a revised Section 9, now supplemented by a new Appendix G). This Third Edition replaces the Second Edition.
French Guide to Tremie Concrete for Deep Foundations, 2nd Edition - Guide du Béton de Fondations Profondes Mis en Oeuvre au Tube Plongeur, 2nd Edition
Authors: EFFC/DFI Concrete Task Group
Published: January 2025

Le guide du béton de fondations profondes mis en œuvre au tube plongeur a fait l’objet d’une première édition de l’EFFC (European Federation of Foundation Contractors) et du DFI (Deep Foundations Institute, USA).

Une seconde édition a été publiée en 2018 pour intégrer les conclusions de travaux de recherche et d’essais en laboratoire ou en place. Ainsi, cette mise à jour intègre les résultats obtenus pour établir définitivement les méthodes de test et les plages d’acceptation des paramètres de contrôle du béton frais mis en œuvre au tube plongeur.

Compte tenu de la rigueur, du niveau de détail et de la grande applicabilité de ce guide, il peut servir de point de départ pour les futurs textes normatifs européens et américains, et est déjà utilisé depuis la première édition par les entreprises qui utilisent du béton mis en œuvre au tube plongeur.

Le SOFFONS a assuré la traduction française de cette seconde édition pour diffusion auprès des professionnels francophones, avec l’autorisation de l’EFFC.
