SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory pathogen that can cause severe disease in at-risk populations but results in asymptomatic infections or a mild course of disease in the majority of cases. We report the identification of SARS-CoV-2–reactive B cells in human tonsillar tissue obtained from children who were negative for coronavirus disease 2019 prior to the pandemic and the generation of mAbs recognizing the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein from these B cells. These Abs showed reduced binding to Spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 variants and did not recognize Spike proteins of endemic coronaviruses, but subsets reacted with commensal microbiota and exhibited SARS-CoV-2–neutralizing potential. Our study demonstrates pre-existing SARS-CoV-2–reactive Abs in various B cell populations in the upper respiratory tract lymphoid tissue that may lead to the rapid engagement of the pathogen and contribute to prevent manifestations of symptomatic or severe disease.

Published: October 2021

Our organization, Black in Immuno (@BlackInImmuno), was formed in September 2020 to celebrate, support, and amplify Black voices in immunology when social media campaigns like #BlackInTheIvory illuminated the shared overt and covert issues of systemic racism faced by Black researchers in all facets of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Black in Immuno was cofounded by a group of Black immunology trainees working at multiple institutions globally: Joël Babdor, E. Evonne Jean, Elaine Kouame, Alexis S. Mobley, Justine C. Noel, and Madina Wane. We devised Black in Immuno Week, held November 22–28, 2020, as a global celebration of Black immunologists. The week was designed to advocate for increased diversity and accessibility in immunology, amplify Black excellence in immunology, and create a community of Black immunologists who can support each other to flourish despite barriers in academia and other job sectors. The week contained live panels and scientific talks, a casual networking mixer, online advocacy and amplification sessions, and a series of wellness events. Our live-streamed programs reached over 300 individuals, and thousands of people kept the conversations going globally using #BlackInImmuno and #BlackInImmunoWeek on social media from five continents. Below, we highlight the events and significant takeaways of the week.
Digital informed consent on radical prostatectomy surgery - A turning point on patient communication means
Authors: Passos Pedro Sousa , Carvalho Nuno , Anacleto Sara Teixeira , Alves Mário Cerqueira , Mota Paulo Oliveira
Published: October 2021

To the Editor, Radical Prostatectomy (RP) is one of the preferred treatments for localized prostatic cancer and although surgical complications have been reduced over the years, urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction are still common and significantly impact the patient’s life. Therefore, adequate patient education and counselling before RP is essential. Informed Consent (IC) is a crucial element of doctor-patient interaction, and it must ensure that patients receive and understand all the information regarding their diseases and treatments. Implicit in providing IC is assessing the patient’s understanding, since accessible communication enables them to make informed decisions consciously and autonomously about their health status [...].

Authors: Boada Matilde , Catalan Ana Inés , Ottati Carolin , Bentancour Florencia , Lens Daniela , Guillermo Cecilia , Grille Sofia
Published: October 2021

Myeloid Neoplasms with germline predisposition become part of 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematological malignancies since 2016. CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-alpha (CEBPA) is a myeloid transcription factor located in chromosome 19q. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with biallelic mutations of CEBPA AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities according to WHO classification. The inheritance of a germline CEBPA mutation predisposes to the development of AML with autosomal dominant inheritance. Familial CEBPA AML share characteristics with somatic CEBPA AML. However, a higher relapse incidence is reported. We present the case of a 46-years-old male with family history of acute leukemia who was diagnosed with single mutated CEBPA acute myeloid leukemia. The same mutation was found in two of his siblings. The clinical suspicion and proper diagnosis of familial cases is necessary, especially when a related allogenic transplant is indicated in order to select an adequate donor.
Design of a chitosan-based nano vaccine against epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens type D and evaluation of its immunogenicity in BALB/c mice
Authors: Poorhassan Farnaz , Nemati Fahimeh , Saffarian Parvaneh , Mirhosseini Seyed Ali , Motamedi Mohammad Javad
Published: October 2021

Background and purpose:

Clostridium perfringens is an anaerobic, spore-forming, and pathogenic bacterium that causes intestinal diseases in humans and animals. In these cases, therapeutic intervention is challenging; because the disease progresses much rapidly. This bacterium can produce 5 main toxins (alpha, beta, epsilon, iota, and a type of enterotoxin) among which the epsilon toxin (ETX) is used for bioterrorism. This toxin can be prevented by immunization with specific immunogenic vaccines. In the present research, we aimed at developing a recombinant chitosan-based nano-vaccine against ETX of C. perfringens and evaluate its effects on the antibody titration against epsilon toxin in BALB/c mice as the vaccine model.

Experimental approach:

The etx gene from C. perfringens type D was cloned and expressed in E. coli. After analysis by SDS-PAGE and western blotting, the expressed products were purified, and the obtained proteins were used for immunization in mice as a chitosan nanoparticle containing recombinant, purified ETX, and protein.

Findings/Results:

The results of ELISA showed that IgA antibody serum level increased sufficiently using recombinant protein with nanoparticle as an oral and injectable formulation. IgG antibody titers increased significantly after administrating the recombinant proteins with nanoparticles through both oral delivery and intravenous injection.

Conclusion and implication:

In conclusion, the recombinant ETX is suggested as a good candidate for vaccine production against diseases caused by ETX of C. perfringens type D.
Weakly separated Bessel systems of model spaces

Published: October 2021

We show that any weakly separated Bessel system of model spaces in the Hardy space on the unit disc is a Riesz system and we highlight some applications to interpolating sequences of matrices. This will be done without using the recent solution of the Feichtinger conjecture, whose natural generalization to multidimensional model subspaces of

Authors: Roose Anna , Onwuchekwa Uma , Tapia Milagritos , Sow Samba , Mast T. Christopher , Kotloff Karen
Published: October 2021

Vaccine coverage and timeliness are critical metrics for evaluating the performance of immunization programs. Following the introduction of rotavirus vaccine in Bamako, Mali, we conducted two cluster surveys spaced approximately 1 year apart to evaluate these metrics among children 9 to 20 months of age. Using the child’s immunization card or the medical record at the center of administration, each selected child’s immunization status was determined at 9 and 12 months of age. Deviations from the WHO-recommended immunization schedule were described by the median delay and fraction of children receiving doses outside of recommended age ranges. Overall, 1,002 children were enrolled in the two surveys combined; 80.1% of children born 7 to 12 months after introduction (survey 1) received three doses of pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (ROTA3) by 9 months of age, which increased to 86.1% among children born 17 to 26 months after introduction (survey 2). Concomitantly, coverage with the third dose of diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus-containing vaccine (DPT3) by age 9 months was 86.5% (survey 1) and 88.9% (survey 2); by age 12 months, 61.3% and 72.4% of children, respectively, had received all scheduled immunizations. The median delay in ROTA3 and DPT3 administration were similar at about 3.4 weeks. Within 3 years of introduction, coverage of rotavirus vaccine among Bamako infants achieved coverage similar to DPT3 and is approaching the Global Vaccine Action Plan goal of 90% coverage by 2020. However, timeliness of coverage remains a concern.

Streptococcus agalactiae serotype distribution and its antibiotic susceptibility affect disease prevention strategies, but the serotype distribution varies among patient groups. The objectives of this study were to establish the group B Streptococcus (GBS) serotype distribution in patients from Egypt and to assess antibiotic sensitivity of invasive GBS isolates. A total of 490 patients participated in this multicenter study; 160 had urinary tract infection, 115 complained of diabetic foot ulcers, 125 men had genital tract infections, and 30 women females had genital tract infections. Others had bronchopneumonia, otitis media, synovitis, or meningitis. Serotyping of the isolated GBS was performed at the CDC in the United States. Antibiotic sensitivity patterns were determined using the disk diffusion method. In men, the most common serotypes were II, III, and V, whereas types Ia, II, III, and V were isolated from women. Macrolides (erythromycin) resistance occurred in 4.1% of the isolates; 10.2% were resistant to both clindamycin and inducible resistance of macrolides, lincomycin, and streptogramin; 17.3% were resistant to quinolones; and 95.9% were resistant to tetracyclines. GBS primarily infected the urinary tract, skin, soft tissue, and genital tract in both genders. Isolates were sensitive to beta-lactam drugs, vancomycin, and linezolid; 14.0% were resistant to macrolides with or without clindamycin. Only 6.0% of the strains were sensitive to tetracyclines. Although GBS causes invasive infections in Egyptian adults, it rarely causes neonatal meningitis or sepsis. Future studies should determine whether GBS isolates are transmitted sexually, by performing a follow-up study of the partner of the infected patient.

Epistola Erudita of Justus Lipsius
Authors: Ryczek Wojciech
Published: October 2021

This paper presents (in the form of transcription and translation) a letter written by a humanist and classical scholar, Iustus Lipsius (1547–1606), which its Cracow editor entitled Epistola erudita (1602). The rhetorical analysis of this text is based on Lipsius’ treatise Epistolica institutio (The Principles of Letter-Writing). The main problem concerns the role of traditional rhetoric in epistolography, especially if the letter is not reduced to a formal document built of template formulas. Early-modern epistolography (Petrarca, Erasmus, Lipsius, Vives) revives the ancient tradition of writing letters, according to which a letter is a kind of written conversation. It gives the sender and the addressee a unique opportunity to meet each other in the symbolic universe of the text.
Accentual Doublets in Standard Languages in the Neo-Štokavian Base: Bosnian Standard Accentuation with a Focus on the Accentuation of Verbs
Authors: Hodžić Jasmin
Published: October 2021

Współczesna bośniacka norma akcentuacyjna ma cechy wspólne ze standardowymi odmianami języków chorwackiego, czarnogórskiego, serbskiego i serbochorwackiego. Dlatego aby precyzyjnie określić, które elementy normy ortoepicznej sąbośniackie, należy jąrozpatrywaćprzede wszystkim w odniesieniu do niej samej. Z uwagi jednak na niespójności, niestabilności i wariantywnośćformy rdzeni trudno jest ustalićreguły skutecznej normy ortoepicznej, chyba że takie rozwiązanie zakładałoby tolerancjędla dużej liczby wariantów akcentowych. Niniejszy artykułpodejmuje problem czasownikowych dubletów akcentowych w standardowej odmianie języka bośniackiego. W tym celu należy przyjąćpodejście kontrastywno-komparatystyczne, poprzez porównanie różnych przykładów użycia w językach standardowych opartych na podstawie nowosztokawskiej.

ABSTRACT
Contemporary Bosnian normative accentuation shares common features with Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian and Serbo-Croatian standard, and therefore in order to determine precisely which elements of the orthoepic norm are Bosnian, it should be considered above all in its own context. However, due to discrepancies, instabilities, and root variation, the task of establishing the principles of an efficient orthoepic norm remains a difficult one, unless such a solution were to tolerate a wide variety of accentual variants. This paper studies accentual doublets of verbs in the Bosnian standard. To this end, it is particularly important to assume a contrastive-comparative perspective, by evaluating varying usage in the standard languages with a Neo-Štokavian base
Polish Personal Pronouns: [PersPPers [NumPNum [n]]] and [NumP Num [n]]1
Authors: Ruda Marta
Published: October 2021

W niniejszym krótkim artykule argumentujęza przyjęciem założenia, że zaimki osobowe w języku polskim majądo dyspozycji dwa warianty strukturalne: zaimki w pierwszej i drugiej osobie to PersP, a zaimki w trzeciej osobie to PersP lub NumP. Ta różnica strukturalna jest odpowiedzialna za dostępnośćnie tylko określonej, ale także nieokreślonej (w tym nieszczegółowej) interpretacji zaimków osobowych w języku polskim, bez względu na ich złożonośćmorfologiczną(tzn. zarówno formy pełne, jak i zredukowane mogąmiećróżne interpretacje). Wyjaśnia to założenie, że fraza NumP może byćinterpretowana jako anafora własności.

ABSTRACT
In this short contribution I suggest that Polish personal pronouns have two available representations: first and second person pronouns are PersPs, whereas third person pronouns are either PersPs or NumPs. This structural difference is responsible for the availability of not only definite, but also indefinite (including unspecific) readings of personal pronouns in Polish, regardless of their morphological complexity (i.e., both full and reduced forms can have different types of interpretations). This follows on the assumption that NumPs can be interpreted as property anaphora.
Phonetic Reduction of Intervocalic [w] in Contemporary Polish
Authors: Jaworski Sylwester
Published: October 2021

Przedstawione w artykule wyniki analizy akustycznej opisujączęstotliwość, z jakąmiędzywokaliczna głoska [w] jest usuwana ze strumienia mowy. Analizie poddano wypowiedzi 20 rodzimych użytkowników języka polskiego, których poproszono o opowiedzenie fabuły filmu, w którym głównąpostaciąjest kobieta. Wyniki analizy akustycznej wskazują, że w ok. 25% przypadków międzywokaliczne [w] nie jest wymawiane, jeśli stanowi element końcówki fleksyjnej czasownika, np. -ała, -iła, -yła. W takich przypadkach trajektorie formantów, jak równieżich intensywność, nie wskazywały na obecnośćpółsamogłoski [w] pomiędzy samogłoskami lub zmiany te były tak niewielkie, że nie wywoływały akustycznego wrażenia głoski [w]. W badaniu nie stwierdzono przypadków usunięcia [w], jeśli dźwięk ten znajdowałsięw podstawie słowotwórczej, np. w słowach skała, szkoła.

ABSTRACT
This paper reports the results of an acoustic study concerned with deletion of intervocalic [w] in contemporary Polish. The data for analysis were obtained by asking twenty monolingual native speakers of Polish, ten males and ten females, to tell the story of a film or a book whose protagonist was female. The results revealed that approximately 25% of the sound combinations in question were reduced phonetically to a vowel geminate. In cases of deletion, the formant trajectories of the examined sound sequences either did not show any signs of the glide or the expected drop in formant frequencies throughout the glide section is so slight that it is rather unlikely to produce an auditory impression of a [w] sound. Importantly, in the analysed recordings, w-dropping affects only the glide elements found in various verb forms, while intervocalic [w] appears to be resistant to deletion in the few cases where the glide constitutes an element of the stem, e.g. in the nouns skała ‘rock’and szkoła ‘school’.

Producent audiowizualny – pojęcie i pozycja prawna
Authors: Grzesiok-Horosz Agnieszka
Published: October 2021

The Audiovisual Producer – Concept and Legal Position

The production of audiovisual forms is organisationally and economically complicated. The issues “inside” audiovisual work, as well as the huge costs of production and distribution, or the potential income from their dissemination in various fields of exploitation, may cause conflicts between authors, producers, and users. That is the reason why balancing these interests requires a rational intervention of the legislator. The aim of the considerations is to find an answer to the question about an audiovisual producer and their legal position in the light of legal acts and practice. There are very few opinions on this subject and the article aims to fill the existing cognitive gap. The research problem is presented by law regulations, using the formal and dogmatic method.

Twitter as an Image Management Tool

Twitter is becoming an increasingly popular tool used for political communication, especially in election campaigns. It is also an important element of image creation. Due to its functionalities, it allows for quick, low-cost reaching of recipients. As part of the article, over 130,000 entries from the period of the 2019 European Parliament election campaign in Poland were subject to quantitative analysis. The activity of 397 people running from six national election committees was analyzed. Every second candidate applying for a mandate as an MEP used this service. The article is an attempt to answer whether and to what extent popularity on Twitter translated into the electoral result.
Premises for the Politological Exploration of Sociobiology
Authors: Nocoń Jarosław
Published: October 2021

The article discusses the factors that encourage the use of the achievements of the broadly understood current of sociobiology in political science research. The guiding thesis here is the assumption that the effective use of the achievements of sociobiology for political science research may be an important factor inspiring new interpretations, explanations and forms of viewing the political sphere of social life. At the same time, it stimulates a broad view of the complexity of mutual relations between the sphere of culture and politics and biological factors. The condition for such a perspective is a departure from the reduced, genetically determinist perception of sociobiology and the understanding of culture and politics both in terms of products and determinants of the natural environment. The structure of the argument is subordinated to attempts to answer the following questions: Why is it worth being interested in using neo-evolutionist concepts to explain and describe the political sphere of social life? What is sociobiology and what theoretical assumptions can be a useful instrument of explanation in political science research?
Biologiczne „środki perswazji” w obszarze polityki – bioterroryzm
Authors: Hołub Adam
Published: October 2021

Artykuł ukazuje czynniki biologiczne jako atrakcyjne środki perswazji, które mogą być wykorzystywane przez sprawców przemocy politycznej. Poprzez analizę potencjału szkodliwości, efektywności i efektowności czynników tego typu oraz rzeczywistych ataków o charakterze terrorystycznym należy uznać, że biologia może stanowić i stanowi atrakcyjny rezerwuar środków możliwych do wykorzystania w bioterroryzmie. Biologicznymi swoistymi środkami rażenia mogą być zarówno bakterie, riketsje, wirusy, jak i toksyny bakteryjne, grzybicze, roślinne i zwierzęce. Rzeczywistość związana z bioterroryzmem wskazuje, iż były one i zapewne nadal będą wykorzystywane w atakach skierowanych wobec politycznych i nie tylko adwersarzy. Bioterroryzm to działalność terrorystyczna z wykorzystaniem czynników chorobotwórczych. Do najpopularniejszych czynników w pierwszych dekadach XXI wieku należą wąglik i rycyna. Należy zauważyć, że teoretycznie ofiary tego typu ataków powinny być bardzo liczne. W rzeczywistości w wyniku ataków terrorystycznych z użyciem patogenów ofiar było niewiele. Należy jednak zachować czujność i przygotować odpowiednie służby oraz społeczeństwo na hipotetyczny atak. Biological "means of persuasion" in the Policy Area – Bioterrorism The article presents biological factors as attractive means of persuasion that can be used by perpetrators of political violence. Through the analysis of the potential harm, effectiveness and efficiency of such factors and actual terrorist attacks, it should be concluded that biology can be an attractive reservoir of means that can be used in bioterrorism. Biological destructive resources can be: bacteria, rickettsiae, viruses, as well as: bacterial, fungal, plant and animal toxins. The reality of bioterrorism indicates that they were and probably will be used in attacks against political and other adversaries. Bioterrorism is a terrorist activity with the use of pathogenic agents. Among the most popular agents in the first decades of the 21st century are anthrax and ricin. It should be noted that, in theory, the victims number of this type of attack should be very high. In reality, there have been only few casualties as a result of terrorist attacks involving pathogens. However, it is important to remain vigilant and prepare the relevant services and the public for a hypothetical attack.

Published: October 2021

The aim of this study was to determine job stress and organizational support perceptions of healthcare professionals during COVID-19. This study was conducted with 185 healthcare professionals working in a training and research hospital in Istanbul between May-June 2020 and serving as a pandemic hospital. Data were collected using the Information Form, Job Stress Scale, and Perceived Organizational Support Scale. Of the healthcare professionals, 75 (40,54%) were physicians and 110 (59,46%) were nurses. The average age of the participants was 32,28±8,82, professional experience period was 9,38±8,66 years. It was determined that as the professional experience and age of the healthcare workers increase, the work stress decreases and the perceived organizational support score increases; the work stress of female professionals and those working in outpatient and intensive care units is higher; the perceived organizational support is higher among those working at night shifts and male professionals. It was also determined that as the perceived organizational support score increases, the job stress score decreases. In the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability of healthcare professionals to provide quality care and the good management of the process is related to their good physical and emotional conditions.
Seismic Stratigraphic Analysis and Hydrocarbon Potential of Miocene-Quaternary Deposits in the Western Nile Delta Basin
Authors: Elsheikh Mahmoud
Published: October 2021

This study focuses on the subsurface Miocene-Pleistocene sedimentary sequence of the Western Delta of Deep-Sea field. Analysis of seismic, based on obtainable well data, and seismic data, allows us to divide the studied successions into two mega sequences: Pre and Post Messinian complexes resulting in transgressive-regressive sedimentation cycles of sea level during the evolution of the Miocene-Pleistocene subsurface sedimentary sequence. The Relative level of the sea was extremely falling in the time of the Messinian period, although it was largely rising at the time of the lower to Middle Pliocene. Pre-Messinian complex encompasses the Miocene strata, while the Post-Messinian complex consists of a thickness pattern of deposits in the time of Pliocene to Pleistocene and ended up with Holocene. The comprehensive study presented here divides these complexes into several orders of sea-level cycles. Pre and Post-Messinian complexes are consisting of several third-order cycles, which is called a depositional sequence, hence the thickness pattern starts from Sidi Salem Formation and ends up with Mit Ghamr Formation (Pleistocene). The interpreted anticline represents a characteristic overlap that can create an appropriate structural trap for hydrocarbons in the sandy intermission of the formations of the Western Deep-Sea Delta field such as Kafr El Sheik siliceous clastic. Besides, the recognized individual and various hidden routes, such as channel and sub-channel in the Pre-Messinian complex are approved for additional inspection to discover hydrocarbons.
Analyzing Gravity and Magnetic Data for the Detection of Deep-Seated Faults and Faults within the Sedimentary Cover Near Habbanieyah and Razzaza Lakes in the Middle of Iraq

Published: October 2021

This research deals with the processing and analyzing of magnetic and gravitational data for an area covering the region of Habbanieyah - Razzaza Lakes and its adjacent areas. The study includes data processing and mapping of the total gravity and magnetic anomalies for only the concerned region, then separating the residual anomalies by adopting the polynomial regression graphical method. The residual gravity anomaly reflects the variations of rock densities within the sedimentary cover. The horizontal gradient filter has been applied to the residual gravity anomaly in order to conduct the locations of fault planes within the sedimentary cover where sudden variations of gravity field take place. The quantitative interpretation for both gravity and magnetic anomalies yielded a preliminary determination for the depth to the center of major faults within the sedimentary cover. By constructing a gravity model along a profile which directed NE-SW and passing through the middle part of the study region, depth to the center of the effective faults found. This depth variation is due to the effect of tectonic activity which produced a set of faults, such faults caused the upward and downward structural motions and were responsible for positioning the deep high density causative slabs of bedrock. The residual magnetic field quantitative interpretation along two profiles crosses over anomalies at the NE and SW parts of the region yielded the depth to the top of magnetized basement rocks. The difference in depth of the basement rocks and the shifted anomaly locations reflects the effect of tectonic activity which may relate to a strike slip faulting in the higher depths.

Published: October 2021

The Grüss-Voronovskaya-type approximation results for the modiﬁed Gupta-Srivastava operators are considered. Moreover, the magnitude of diﬀerences of two linear positive operators deﬁned on an unbounded interval has been estimated. Quantitative type results are established as we initially obtain the moments of generalized discrete operators and then estimate the diﬀerence of these operators with the Gupta-Srivastava operators.
Eigenvalues of Circulant Matrices and a Conjecture of Ryser
Authors:   University of Brest, France, EULER REINHARDT , GALLARDO LUIS H. , RAHAVANDRAINY OLIVIER
Published: October 2021

We prove that there is no circulant Hadamard matrix H with ﬁrst row [h1,…,hn] of order n > 4, under some linear conditions on the hi’s. All these conditions hold in the known case n = 4, so that our results can be thought as characterizations of properties that only hold when n = 4. Our ﬁrst conditions imply that some eigenvalue λ of H is a sum of √ -- n terms h jωj, where ω is a primitive n-th root of 1. The same conclusion holds also if some complex arithmetic means associated to λ are algebraic integers (second conditions). Moreover, our third conditions, related to the recent notion of robust Hadamard matrices, implies also the nonexistence of these circulant Hadamard matrices. If some of the conditions fail, it appears (to us) very diﬃcult to be able to prove the result.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of different sowing times on duration of tasselling, plant height, first ear height, ear length, ear diameter, number of ears per plant, fresh ear yield with husk, fresh ear yield unhusked, and marketable number of ears of different sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccharata Sturt.) varieties in Diyarbakır between the years of 2010-2012. The trial was conducted as split plots in randomised complete blocks with three replications. The main plots were sowing times, and the sub-plots were varieties. The trials were carried out at eight different sowing times (1 April, 15 April, 1 May, 15 May, 1 June, 15 June, 1 July and 15 July) with ‘Merit’, ‘Jubilee’, ‘Lumina’, ‘Vega’ and ‘Sakarya’ composite sweet corn varieties. From the variance analysis of the three-year combined average, the duration of tasselling, plant height, first ear height, ear length, ear diameter, number of ears per plant, fresh husked ear yield, fresh unhusked ear yield and marketable ear number were statistically significant for sowing times and varieties. According to the sowing time × variety interaction, except ears per plant and first ear height values, all other traits were significant. The fresh husked and unhusked ear yields varied between 8541.7-19396.8 kg ha-1 and 5065.0-13485.7 kg ha-1, respectively. The highest fresh husked and fresh unhusked ear yields were obtained from the 15 April sowing time of ‘Vega’ variety. The results state that optimal sowing dates for different varieties of sweet corn could be from 1 April to 1 May, and the most suitable variety to be planted is ‘Vega’ in Diyarbakır conditions.

Published: October 2021

La encefalitis autoinmune es una patología recientemente descrita como una enfermedad inflamatoria del sistema nervioso central, que, previamente era caracterizada como un síndrome paraneoplásico, sin embargo, los avances en tecnología han permitido categorizarla como una entidad propia, con una fisiopatología específica, y una presentación clínica con base en el autoanticuerpo desarrollado, pero, el amplio espectro en la presentación clínica, lo insidioso de la sintomatología, su mímica con otras patologías y desconocimiento de esta entidad en los servicios de urgencias y hospitalización, hace que no sea diagnosticada, llevando a complicaciones potencialmente fatales. Presentamos el caso de una paciente femenina de 26 años con encefalitis autoinmune, con posterior revisión de la literatura del caso.
