Nipah virus infection with cerebellar dysfunction
Authors: Pallivalappil Bhargavan , Karadan Ummer , Chellenton Jayakrishnan , Manappallil Robin George
Published: February 2020

Background:

The Nipah virus (NiV), known to exist in various fruit bats, is associated with one of the deadliest infections affecting human beings. The virus has caused outbreaks in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Bangladesh, and the West Bengal state of India. Pigs were the intermediate hosts during the Malaysian and Singaporean outbreaks and horses in Philippines; while the Indian and Bangladesh outbreaks saw a bat to human followed by human-to-human transmission. The infection is characterized by rapidly progressive encephalitis and acute respiratory distress syndrome, carrying a very high mortality rate.

Case Presentation:

We present the case of a middle-aged male who presented with fever, vomiting and loose stools, and throat pain. His initial blood investigations were normal. He later developed diplopia, cerebellar symptoms, and segmental sweating. His blood, urine, and throat swab tested positive for NiV. He was started on antivirals but succumbed to death.

Conclusion:

NiV infection, in humans, presents with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory infection and fatal encephalitis. It is transmitted to humans from animals, such as bats or pigs, or contaminated foods. This was our first experience with NiV; and probably one of the first reported cases from our region. Our experience showed the occurrence of cerebellar symptoms in NiV infection.

Secara prinsip ada tiga gerakan kapal yang tidak dapat direspon oleh kapal yaitu gerakan Surging, Swaying dan Yawing. Untuk mengendalikan gerakan ini diperlukan Maneuver kapal. Kemampuan maneuver sangat menentukan keselamatan kapal, khususnya saat kapal beroperasi diperairan terbatas atau beroperasi disekitar pelabuhan, oleh karena IMO (International Maritime Organization) telah mensyaratkan sejumlah kriteria standar keselamatan kapal diantaranya adalah Turning Ability dan Course Keeping-Yaw Checking Ability. Dalam paper ini dibahas pengujian model simulasi manuver dengan variasi sudut kemudi kapal jenis Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) twin rudder dan twin propeller yang dilakukan di Bridge Simulator Politeknik Pelayaran Barombong dengan menggunakan metode software Polaris Ship’s Bridge Simulator-Kongsberg. Pengujian simulasi ini dapat memprediksi kemampuan manuver kapal pada tahap kompetensi khususnya bagi para operator kapal. Hasil efektifitas respon kapal pada self turning basin ke kanan menunjukkan bahwa pada kemudi kanan, dengan memposisikan sudut kemudi pada arah kanan dapat mengurangi Rate of Turn, memperlambat waktu putar, menambah kecepatan kapal dan memperpanjang jarak putar kapal, sebaliknya memposisikan sudut kemudi pada arah kiri dapat menambah Rate of Turn, mempercepat waktu putar, mengurangi kecepatan kapal dan memperpendek jarak putar kapal. Simulasi turning basin kanan yang baik adalah yang menunjukkan Rate of Turn tertinggi, kecepatan kapal terendah serta waktu dan jarak putar yang terpendek.

Published: February 2020

Objective:

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in Nigeria. This study was aimed at providing information on pattern of some hemostatic parameters of pulmonary TB (PTB)-infected patients.

Materials and Methods:

This is a comparative cross-sectional study of 102 participants comprising 51 TB-infected individuals and 51 healthy individuals as control. Five milliliters of blood were drawn from each subject and 3 ml was transferred into 0.3 ml of trisodium citrate (3.8%) anticoagulant plastic tube for the analysis of prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin time using standard techniques while the remaining 2 ml was then transferred into an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid container (of what concentration) for platelet count and morphology.

Result:

The median interquartile range of the PLC, platelet morphology, prothrombin time (PT), and APPT was determined and comparative analysis using Chi-square was made and found to be statistically significant (P = 0.001, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively). There was no statistically significant association between hemostatic parameters (PT, activated partial thromboplastin time with kaolin [APTTK], and platelet count) and body mass index. A Kruskal–Wallis H test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in PT, APTTK, and platelet count between the different categories of patient’s Mycobacterium tuberculosis load (P < 0.005). Chi- square statistics revealed the association between APTTK and platelet count, with anti-TB drugs regimen to be statistically significant. However, there was no statistically significant association between PT and anti-TB drug regimen.

Conclusion:

This study revealed that PTB affects hemostasis by prolongation of PT and APTTK, it is also associated with giant platelet formation and intravascular platelet aggregation.
Activation of CO2 on Copper Surfaces: The Synergy Between Electric Field, Surface Morphology and Excess Electrons
Authors: Jafarzadeh Amin , Bal Kristof M. , Bogaerts Annemie , Neyts Erik C.
Published: February 2020

In this work we use DFT calculations to study the combined effect of external electric fields, surface morphology and surface charge on CO2 activation over Cu (111), Cu (211), Cu (110) and Cu (001) surfaces. We observe that the binding energy of the CO2 molecule on Cu surfaces rises significantly upon increasing the applied electric field strength. In addition, rougher surfaces respond more effectively to the presence of the external electric field towards facilitating the formation of a carbonate-like CO2 structure and the transformation of the most stable adsorption mode from physisorption to chemisorption. The presence of surface charges further strengthens the electric field effect and consequently gives rise to an improved bending of the CO2 molecule and C-O bond length elongation. On the other hand, a net charge in the absence of externally applied electric field shows only a marginal effect on CO2 binding. The chemisorbed CO2 is more stable and further activated when the effects of an external electric field, rough surface and surface charge are combined. These results can help to elucidate the underlying factors that control CO2 activation in heterogeneous and plasma catalysis, as well as in electrochemical processes.

Published: February 2020

Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cause of male cancer deaths, the advanced form of which continues to be incurable; and nature of the disease being such that it is highly suitable for gene therapy. However, therapy is hampered by lack of appropriate gene delivery agents available. Recently, metal-organic-framework (MOF) biocomposites have seen increasing applications in DNA technologies, including gene delivery. In this work, a polymorph of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) MOF nanoparticles called ZIF-C are used as gene delivery agents to cause knockdown (KD) of a protein overexpressed by the gene ribosomal protein SA in PC. Feasibility of ZIF-C mediated KD at cytoplasmic levels in PC is demonstrated by RNA interference, whereby RPSA specific siRNA is delivered using ZIF-C. Feasibility of ZIF-C mediated KD at genomic levels is demonstrated by CRISPR/Cas9, whereby RPSA specific CRISPR/Cas9 plasmids are delivered using ZIF-C. Specific targeting is further achieved by coating of ZIF-C with epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG). Cellular transfection assays reveal the gradual expression of ZIF-C delivered RPSA-targeting nucleic acids for up to 96 hours. Quantitative polymerase chain reactions and genomic cleavage detection demonstrate gradual KD, with ~20% reduction in RPSA expression that is almost doubled to ~40% on EGCG-mediated targeted cellular uptake.
Highly Purified Glucose Isomerase Crystals Under Microgravity Conditions Grow as Fast as Those on the Ground Do
Authors: Suzuki Yoshihisa
Published: February 2020

Suppression of convection flows (solute transportation) and that of impurity incorporation into crystals seem to be the main reasons why the quality of protein crystals becomes better under microgravity conditions, whereas each precise mechanism has not been completely clarified yet. We tried to clarify the former reason by the in-situ observation of spiral growth hillocks on the {110} faces of highly purified glucose isomerase (GI) crystals under microgravity conditions and on the ground. Lateral growth rates Vlateral of a spiral hillock on the {110} face of a glucose isomerase crystal in situ under microgravity conditions and step velocities Vstep of the same configuration on the ground took similar values as far as the maximum values are compared each other. This similarity indicates there are less influences of the convection flows on the growth rates of protein crystals contrary to conventional expectations.
Gammaherpesvirus-infected germinal center cells express a distinct immunoglobulin repertoire

Published: February 2020

The gammaherpesviruses (γHVs), human Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), EBV, and murine γHV68 are prevalent infections associated with lymphocyte pathologies. After primary infection, EBV and γHV68 undergo latent expansion in germinal center (GC) B cells and persists in memory cells. The GC reaction evolves and selects antigen-specific B cells for memory development but whether γHV passively transients or manipulates this process in vivo is unknown. Using the γHV68 infection model, we analyzed the Ig repertoire of infected and uninfected GC cells from individual mice. We found that infected cells displayed the hallmarks of affinity maturation, hypermutation, and isotype switching but underwent clonal expansion. Strikingly, infected cells displayed distinct repertoire, not found in uninfected cells, with recurrent utilization of certain Ig heavy V segments includingIghv10-1. In a manner observed with KSHV, γHV68 infected cells also displayed lambda light chain bias. Thus, γHV68 subverts GC selection to expand in a specific B cell subset during the process that develops long-lived immunologic memory.

Using linked health, income, and Census data, the present study will model the influence of parental education levels on child health outcomes adjusted for other key factors. In this methodological paper, we provide details about this project that is in a relatively new data space for Pacific research and we describe our participants.

Most children in the study were born in New Zealand and nearly all could speak English. Pacific children were slightly younger, more likely to be able to speak a Pacific or other languages, and most likely to live in areas of socio-ecenomic deprivation compared to non-Pacific children. Pacific children who identified with solely Pacific and Pacific with other ethnicities. Parents of children with solely Pacific ethnicity, more than a third of whom were born in New Zealand, over 60% spoke a Pacific language and four out of five held christian beliefs. By comparison, parents of children with Pacific with other ethnicities were; younger, New Zealand born, less likely to speak another language and half held christian beliefs. Compared with parents of children from Other ethnicities, parents of Pacific children had lower median incomes, were less likely to own their home and had fewer total years of education.

It is important to note that the overall purpose of this study is not to highlight the differences between Pacific and other non Pacific families, but to look at the relationship between parental education and the health of children.

An overarching objective of New Zealand society is equitable educational, economic, and health outcomes for all citizens, including its Pacific population. In response to these ambitions, this study explored success and what elements are necessary for Pacific families to be successful in New Zealand. Focus groups were undertaken with 29 Pacific fathers and 27 Pacific mothers aged between 35-71 years. An inductive thematic analytical approach was used to code and identify themes from the data. Pacific methodologies, including the Talanoa and Kakala frameworks, were integral in the systematic process of data analysis. Three key factors were found to represent and constitute success for Pacific families: strong religious affiliation, practicing and embracing Pacific cultural identity, and family connectedness and cohesion.

Introduction: A barrier to local investigator-led research in low income settings, is the limited availability of personnel with appropriate research skills or qualifications to conduct the type of research required for evidence-informed policy making to improve access and quality of health care. In response to this, Fiji National University’s College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences in Fiji, collaborated with academics based at the University of Auckland, New Zealand to deliver a series of research capacity development workshops in Fiji.

Methods: Participants who attended any of the nine workshops (n=123) were contacted via email to take part in a brief survey regarding their perceptions of the effectiveness of the research capacity building workshops. Of the possible 123 participants, 80% (n=76) completed the questionnaire. 

Results: Findings demonstrate that the majority of participants reported that they had gained research skills from the workshops (75%) including proposal development skills (68%) and knowledge of appropriate research methods (59%). Furthermore, 70% agreed that the workshops built their research confidence.  Since attending a workshop, 18% of respondents had successfully applied and received funding for research grants and/or fellowships.  Barriers to conduct research included workload (75%), lack of research knowledge, experience or skills (51%), and lack of institutional support (41%). Suggestions for future workshops included: more focus on data analysis, regular courses rather than ‘one offs’, and preparation of research findings (e.g. publications).

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that research workshops of this nature may increase individual research capabilities but sustained, locally led initiatives, backed by institutional and supplementary technical support are essential.

Banks in India by the mere fact are commercial in nature and because of the level of risk involved, are forced to charge high interest rates, require high value collateral from Micro, Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), financial statements and bank statements for the facilities sought, which eventually increase the transaction cost for the MSMEs. This has brought in a daunting challenge for banks in the provision of the credit to the MSMEs.

The study found that banks selected for this study appear inconsistent in their lending practices for MSMEs in Goa. Marked differences in lending facilities such as fund based facilities, non-fund based facilities and requirements of loan documents were reported between MSME loan managers at bank branches and head offices within banks.
