Authors: Santona Alessandra , Tognasso Giacomo , Porcedda Lucia , Gorla Laura
Published: November 2022

A partire dall'inizio della pandemia causata dal Covid-19, per le famiglie con bambini, in particolare, si è verificato un drammatico flusso di eventi stressanti concorrenti. In particolare, il lockdown ha costretto genitori e figli a convivere nello stesso contesto condividendo scuola, lavoro, vita di coppia e familiare. Gli Autori hanno portato avanti un'indagine per valutare l'impatto della pande- mia sulle relazioni cogenitoriali e familiari. Sono state esplorate le dimensioni dell'Integrità familiare e Conflitto attraverso la Coparenting Scale e quelle della Forza Familiare, Comunicazione Familiare e Difficoltà Familiari attraverso lo Score-15. Hanno risposto 626 genitori e i risultati hanno indicato che nella mag- gior parte dei casi i soggetti avevano percepito la famiglia come risorsa ottenendo punteggi migliori rispetto a quelli dei campioni normativi. Lo studio rappresenta uno stimolo a considerare le relazioni familiari come un focus rilevante sia per la ricerca sugli effetti psicosociali della pandemia causata dal Covid-19 sia per la progettazione di interventi consulenziali e preventivi nel contesto della psicologia dell'emergenza.

Introduction: There is a growing need to train nonpalliative physicians in palliative care, as it is increasingly recognized by the medical profession. Political and opinion leaders are also becoming aware of the urgent and growing need for palliative care education. Objective: The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the information available in the literature on the topic of palliative care competencies for nephrologists, using clearly defined and transparent methods to search, summarize, and interpret the relevant literature based on a systematic review approach. Methods: The scoping review is based on the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The search was conducted in December 2019 using publications in national and international databases and grey literature in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Results: Of the total 4668 publications, 168 were eligible for review based on title and abstract. A full-text review of these 168 publications resulted in the selection of 27 articles that met the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and were therefore included in the study. The following competencies were considered necessary to provide high quality PC in various nephrology settings: Communication skills (21.3%); End-of-life care, loss, grief, and bereavement (18.6%); Control of pain and other renal symptoms (16%); Advance care planning (16%); Ethical and legal issues in dialysis decision making (12.2%); Teamwork (6.6%); Ability to provide psychosocial and spiritual support to patients and families (5.6%). Application of palliative care principles (3.7%). Percentage refers to the number of publications addressing each topic. Conclusion: The implementation of an integrated care model that includes both PC and curative treatments places high demands on nephrologists, who must acquire PC competencies. Training in palliative care should be included in the curricula for nephrologists.

Urinary tract infection is an important cause of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality, being responsible for an important fraction of health expenses. The main risk factors are urine flow obstruction, urinary catheters, immunosuppression and diabetes mellitus. We present a case of pyelonephritis that culminated in nephrectomy, finally unravelling an unexpected diagnosis. A 52-year-old male presented in the emergency department with two weeks of pain in the left iliac fossa that irradiated to the lumbar region and cloudy urine. Lab work revealed severe anaemia (4.9 g/dL), inflammatory markers elevation, leucoerythrocyturia, serum creatinine of 4.33 mg/dL and metabolic acidosis. Computed tomography scan showed a swollen left kidney with a staghorn calculus and intraparenchymal hypodensities. After a failed trial of large spectrum antibiotics, he was submitted to left radical nephrectomy with significant clinical improvement. Gross examination showed a markedly dilated pyelocalicial tree, filled with several staghorn calculi and purulent secretions with associated parenchymal atrophy. Histopathologic evaluation revealed exuberant chronic pyelonephritis with an acute inflammatory infiltrate that extended into the perinephric fat and multiple Schistosoma ova, predominantly calcified. The authors describe the case of a severe pyelonephritis with exuberant clinical and imagiological features and rare microbiological findings, suggesting previous genitourinary Schistosomiasis that predisposed to nephrolithiasis and chronic pyelonephritis.

FIQH AL-MA’ALAT: AN ANALYSIS OF ITS ORIGIN, SUBSIDIARY AND APPLICATION
Authors: Suleiman Hassan
Published: November 2022

This study seeks to employ the knowledge of principles of Islamic jurisprudence and, the objectives of Islamic law in order to, benefit from juristic legacy for revitalising the outcome-based approach to Fiqh to revitalize the Ummah.Accordingly, the statement problem of the study is attempting to search for the role of the Muslim nation that is absent from the contemporary civilised scene and answering some questions, such as: where is our nation in the modern ranking civilisation? Why is it turned late? Is there anything in our heritage that prevents us from looking ahead the future and anticipating what is coming? In conducting this study, the researcher employed deductive, analytical, and inductive methods. While the deductive method is used to study the Islamic texts delineating the consideration of the outcome, the analytical method is used to analyse those texts to extract rules that suit incidents from them. According to the study’s findings, firstly, Islam prepares the human for foreseeing and anticipating the future and frees him from the obstacles of superstition, pessimism, and astrology. So, the human being should not give up and succumb. Rather, he shall face and strive with truth and for the truth. Second, the fundamentals of anticipation have to do with being aware of Islamic laws pertaining to an honest tomorrow. Third, the glorious Qur’ān consider al-sunan al-kawniyah’ (universal ways of life) and those related to society as hints of the future and means of understanding it. The study concluded that the Holy Qur’ān also addresses time in all of its facets, including the past, present, and future (ma’ālāt), in order to help Muslims be conscious of their movements, homes, activities and outcomes.
Managing Faculty and Student’s Perception of Emergency Covid-19 Pandemic Learning in Nigeria
Authors: Mormah Felicia
Published: November 2022

The Emergency remote teaching birthed by the Covid-19 pandemic situation, heralded an unprecedented school closure consequently widening already existing educational access gap. This turbulent situation represented a very difficult and traumatic time for both teachers, students and parents. This research is a Case Study on Delta State University, Agbor Education students in affiliation with College of Education, Agbor. Delta State Nigeria. The Sample population is one hundred and eighty-four (184), which comprised of thirty (30) management team members, one hundred and thirty-six (136) lecturers and eighteen (18) students used for a focus group discussion. The selection criteria for the sample population were both purposive and interpretative in design. The research examined and told the story of an Institution’s emergency remote teaching experience during the covid -19 pandemic crisis. There was no policy guide/handbook to guide the process. Since the ERT terrain was novel, stakeholders were innovative and proactive to meet the demand of the strange times. The theory of constraint (TOC) was used as a guide to explain the constraints on ground and guide actions taken in the course of the research. High cost of procuring digital tools, electricity outages and poor internet connectivity were highlighted as constraining factors for institutions teaching online. It is recommended that an emergency educational response team with a special Trust fund be put in place in institutions to act in times of crisis.
Exploring Student Perceptions Of Their Learning Through Flexible Internships
Authors: Balducci Bruno , Mao Dani
Published: November 2022

The Covid pandemic has required a more flexible delivery of student internships, but how do international students think about what they have learned from their internship experience? This article follows a mixed-mode pragmatic approach to explore student perceptions of internship as a form of experiential learning. The views of a cohort of applied management undergraduates were investigated soon after the completion of different types of internships: company placement, offshore, blended and student-run Green Office projects. Surveys and focus groups were used to gain insight into students’ motivation as interns, what they felt they achieved and the capabilities they valued the most, as compared to earlier research into the perceptions of business employers. Findings indicate that, as with employers, verbal communication, teamwork and problem-solving are among the most valued capabilities. More surprising, however, is the learners’ regard for independence, responsibility and ethics. While these can be interpreted in various ways, the effect of the Covid pandemic on workplaces and practices casts a new light on the students’ perception of their internship experience. Meanwhile, the most striking difference between the student groups was the high level of awareness and commitment of Green Office interns. These findings suggest the following improvements: more attention to student perceptions in the flexible delivery of internships; re-evaluating the expectations of stakeholders; the further development of Green Office to engage students, provide powerful internship experiences and develop self-efficacy beliefs that will promote sustainable approaches for a better future.

Published: November 2022

Objetivos: Analisar a morbimortalidade neonatal por icterícia em Pernambuco no período de 2008 a 2017. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo e ecológico cuja população estudada é composta por recém-nascidos de mães residentes em Pernambuco, menores de 28 dias, nascidos entre 2008 e 2017. Foram realizadas análises temporais dos indicadores Taxa de Mortalidade Neonatal por Icterícia (TMNI) e Proporção de Internações Hospitalares (PIH), calculados a partir de dados coletados nos Sistemas de Informação do DATASUS. Resultados: A TMNI em Pernambuco entre os anos de 2008 e 2017 foi de 4,92 óbitos por 100.000 nascidos vivos e sua componente precoce foi mais importante do que a tardia. Ao longo do tempo, a TMNI apresentou declínio, reproduzindo o padrão brasileiro. Quanto à internação hospitalar, a icterícia corresponde a 23% do total de internações hospitalares em pacientes de 0 a 27 dias em relação às afecções originadas no período perinatal. Ao contrário da TMNI, a PIH por icterícia neonatal mostrou um aumento significativo no período estudado, mostrando uma correlação forte e inversa entre os dois indicadores. Conclusões: Ao dar visibilidade às taxas de morbimortalidade neonatal por icterícia é possível identificar oportunidades de intervenção em tempo oportuno e reorientação das práticas assistenciais, estratégias eficientes na diminuição de desfechos desfavoráveis.

A perda óssea é um fenômeno multifatorial que pode inviabilizar o tratamento reabilitar no paciente edêntulo. Dentre as modalidades de tratamento disponíveis está a utilização do enxerto autógeno. O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, a quantidade de ganho ósseo vertical e horizontal promovida utilizando enxertos ósseos do tipo autógeno em bloco por meio da técnica SBB quando comparado com o enxerto ósseo do tipo inlay. Nesta revisão de literatura foi realizada uma busca nas principais bases de dados da saúde PUBMED e LILACS, buscando artigos publicados em inglês nos últimos 15 anos. Após leitura de títulos e resumos foram consideráveis elegíveis apenas 4 artigos para leitura de texto completo. Os estudos finais incluídos foram publicados entre os anos de 2009 e 2020, sendo ambos do tipo coorte retrospectivo. Os aspectos avaliados em ambos os artigos foram ganho ósseo vertical e/ou horizontal utilizando a técnica de Khoury e a técnica Inlay. Entre os 4 estudos incluídos, 2 se relacionam com a técnica de Khoury e a média ganho ósseo vertical e horizontal respectivamente foi de 3,2mm e 5,2mm e outros dois artigos descreveram a técnica Inlay que resultaram em 4,9mm e 6,67mm. A partir desta revisão de literatura, podemos concluir que a técnica Inlay apresenta resultados melhores de ganho ósseo horizontal, porém quando se deseja ganho ósseo tridimensional, a técnica de Khoury se mostra mais eficaz.

Published: November 2022

O Diabetes Mellitus (DM) pode ser entendido como um grupo de doenças metabólicas, caracterizado pelo aumento nos níveis de glicose sanguínea, devido a um distúrbio na secreção ou na ação da insulina. Segundo alguns estudos a DM é um fator prevalente para COVID-19 (Doença Coronavírus 2019). O Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é um dos problemas de saúde mais desafiadores do século 21. Frente a este cenário o objetivo deste trabalho é aplicar o Questionário de Atividades de autocuidado com o Diabetes (QAD) em voluntários portadores de DM2 durante a pandemia do COVID-19. O estudo foi realizado no município de Poço Fundo/MG e os voluntários foram convidados nas unidades do Programa Saúde da Família (PSF) do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). O QAD possui 15 itens de avaliação do autocuidado com o DM, distribuídos em sete dimensões: “alimentação geral”, “alimentação específica”, “atividade física”, “monitorização da glicemia”, “cuidado com os pés” e “uso da medicação”. Incluem também outros três itens para a avaliação do tabagismo. Foi realizada a correlação de Spearman e análise descritiva para a interpretação dos dados. Concluímos que o QAD é um instrumento confiável para mensurar a aderência ao autocuidado em voluntários diabéticos tipo 2. Através deste questionário podemos observar que os voluntários conheceram alguns cuidados importantes e acreditamos que a partir daí possam torná-los parte da sua rotina.

Published: November 2022

As coagulopatias são reconhecidas cientificamente como anormalidades que acometem a estrutura plasmática coagulante. O tipo de coagulopatia mais comum entre os indivíduos é a Doença de Von Willebrand (DVW), vista como um tipo de origem hereditária, que pode se manifestar deste o nascimento, ou em algum evento da vida adulta, bem como ser assintomática e não diagnosticada, interferindo e prejudicando a função coagulante do organismo dos indivíduos acometidos. Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar os fatores genéticos, clínicos e ambientais que favorecem e corroboram com a precisão do diagnóstico para a DVW. Utilizou-se das metodologias de revisão bibliográfica e de análise documental. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, de natureza básica, com objetivos descritivos e procedimento bibliográfico. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam que a DVW afeta o FVW, essencial para o processo de coagulação, sendo considerada a coagulopatia mais comum, apesar dos casos de subnotificação da doença. A conclusão da pesquisa indica que a precisão do diagnóstico laboratorial deve levar em consideração os fatores genéticos e clínicos, além de valer-se de testes de triagem e adicionais para diagnosticar o tipo e subtipo da doença, em prol da aplicação do tratamento mais efetivo.

Authors: Santos Maiana Ferreira dos , Souza Taylianne Vanessa Freitas de , Ferreira José Carlos de Sales , Freitas Francisca Marta Nascimento de Oliveira
Published: November 2022

Introdução: A seletividade alimentar é um comportamento característico de pessoas diagnosticadas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista – TEA e por conta disso acabam por bloquear a inserção de novas experiências com alimentos saudáveis tendo como consequência a deficiência de micronutrientes. Levando-se em consideração isso, a região Amazônica possui uma grande diversidade de espécies de frutos, vegetais e oleaginosas que apresentam nutrientes e ácidos graxos que podem modificar a expressão de sintomas do TEA. Objetivo: descrever alimentos da região amazônica que possuem potencial nutricional para auxiliar no combate as carências nutricionais comuns em crianças com TEA Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Metodologia: trata-se de uma revisão de literatura narrativa. Resultados: a análise dos dados mostrou que o transtorno do espectro autista não é apenas assinalado por distúrbios de comunicação e de comportamento, mas também pode existir problemas relacionados à nutrição, que crianças autistas tem baixo consumo de frutas, sucos de frutas, verduras e legumes, que é importante envolver toda a família no processo da redução dos sintomas relacionados ao TEA, visto que os problemas relacionados a alimentação de crianças com TEA acarretam vários riscos para o equilíbrio de nutrientes e o crescimento da criança. Conclusão: os alimentos da região amazônica possuem potencial nutricional para auxiliar no combate as carências nutricionais comuns em crianças com TEA. Portanto, conclui-se que algumas frutas amazônicas são consideradas como fontes ricas em vitaminas, minerais e substâncias orgânicas, principalmente antioxidantes e podem auxiliar no combate as carências nutricionais das crianças com TEA.

Sympatric organisms can avoid competition by occupying different ecological niches, a mechanism known as niche partitioning. In Iceland, white-beaked dolphinsLagenorhynchus albirostrisand harbour porpoisesPhocoena phocoenaare the most common small cetaceans observed but their trophic ecology remains understudied, including the potential for resource competition. In this study, we measured δ15N and δ13C values from white-beaked dolphin (n = 28) and harbour porpoise (n = 29) muscle samples collected over a 33 yr period (1987-2019) to compare isotopic niche width and overlap of both species, as well as diet composition. We also tested for within-species effects of sex, age class, body length, year of sampling and origin (bycatch vs. stranding) on the δ13C and δ15N values. Intra-species variations included differences between stranded and bycaught white-beaked dolphins and ontogenetic variations in both species, but further studies are necessary to investigate the factors that might explain these results. Inter-species comparisons showed that harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins had non-overlapping isotopic niches, with harbour porpoises exhibiting smaller niche widths (corrected standard ellipse area, SEAc: 1.25 vs. 2.13‰2). While white-beaked dolphins had a broader diet, composed primarily of gadoids but with contributions of other fish species, harbour porpoises fed almost exclusively on capelinMallotus villosus, suggesting niche segregation and width is largely maintained by targeting different prey resources. Both species also showed no long-term changes in trophic ecology, despite recent ecosystem changes in this region, possibly a result of adapting to spatial changes in prey distribution or shifts to other prey at similar trophic levels.

This study examines the effect of Person-Organization Fit (P-O fit) and extra-role performance on employee job satisfaction at MSME Culinary Processed Products in Palembang City. This study was conducted on employees of MSMEs of processed culinary products in the city of Palembang, totalling 127 respondents. The sample was carried out by purposive sampling. Meanwhile, the survey collected the data through a questionnaire using a Likert scale with multiple regression analysis approaches, with a significance level of 5% to analyze data. The results showed that Person-Organization Fit (P-O fit) did not positively affect employee job satisfaction, with a value of 0.063 with a probability > 0.05. Extra role performance positively affected job satisfaction, with a value of 0.000, meaning that the value was less than <0.005. The ANOVA or F test results obtained an F count of 35.414 with a probability of 0.000. Because the probability value is less than 0.05, the regression model can be used to predict job satisfaction. In this case, Person-Organization Fit (P-O fit) and extra-role performance positively affect employee job satisfaction.

The Parasocial as an Indication of the Desire for Unmediated Interactions on Twitch
Authors: Puvoge Jillian
Published: November 2022

For a long time, people on screen, from television stars to social media influencers, have been distant idols that their audiences could only dream of befriending. This research focuses on the idea that the more a mediated interaction resembles an unmediated interaction, the more the relationships it hosts approach the social, rather than parasocial. Thus, live streaming, bearing the closest resemblance to unmediated interactions, is the first form of mass media capable of hosting social interactions between the fan and the media figure. I conducted a literature review of the relationships between media figures and viewers in different media, including fictional television, call-in television, reality television, social media, and finally, live streaming on Twitch to compare viewer-media figure relationships live streaming to those in past media. I accompanied this literature review with a textual analysis of observed interactions between streamers and viewers from three different live streamers. In these observations, I looked for any indications of social, rather than parasocial, interactions or relationships between streamers and their viewers. The textual analysis indicated that there were several interactions that were social in nature. Live streaming on Twitch is a significant pinnacle of viewer-media figure interactions and relationships. One of the most important findings in the textual analysis is that streamers were often close with a select few of their viewers, and seemed to have a social relationship, rather than parasocial relationship with those few. This finding is what demonstrates that live streaming is the first mass media platform where social relationships can grow between media figure and their fans, which can be a powerful tool for more media figures to connect with their audiences.
When we verb a noun: Processing and understanding denominal verbs through pragmatic inferences
Authors: Vogelzang Margreet , Carston Robyn , Tsimpli Ianthi
Published: November 2022

Polysemous words are words that have multiple related senses. They can be cross-categorial, that is, the related senses occur across word categories, such as noun and verb. (1) uses the noun balloon as a verb: (1) Every birthday, we hang lights in the trees and balloon the front gate. The meaning of such unconventional uses requires a pragmatic inference. Other types of pragmatic inferences have been associated with linguistic knowledge and cognitive skills, but little is known about the processing of unconventional denominal verbs. We set out to investigate whether processing and understanding denominal verbs requires some type of cognitive or linguistic experience or skills.
Individual differences in audiovisual benefit for acoustically degraded speech
Authors: von Seth Jacqueline , Aller Máté , Davis Matt
Published: November 2022

It is well-established that seeing the face of a speaker can substantially improve speech perception, especially under adverse listening conditions. However, previous studies have demonstrated that this audiovisual benefit is highly variable across individuals and measurement indices (Grant & Seitz, 1998; Tye-Murray et al., 2016). Here we present a planned study designed to quantify the audiovisual benefit for acoustically degraded English single phonemes, words and sentences in the general, healthy population alongside pilot data testing audiovisual perception of phonemes and words (N=7, data collection ongoing) and re-analyses of existing behavioural data of audiovisual sentences (N=14). Rather than comparing changes in intelligibility due to adding visual speech (which is prone to floor and ceiling effects) we measure the relative intelligibility of matched audiovisual (AV) and auditory-only (AO) speech. Our study will add to the existing literature by establishing the distribution of audiovisual speech perception skills and benefit in the general population.
Uncontrolled severe T2 asthma: Which biological to choose? A biomarker-based approach
Authors: López-Viña Antolín , Díaz Campos Rocío M. , Trisan Alonso Andrea , Melero Moreno Carlos
Published: November 2022

In recent years, advances in knowledge of molecular mechanisms involved in asthma have changed uncontrolled severe asthma (USA) treatment, with the appearance of biological treatment. USA is a heterogeneous entity with different endotypes and phenotypes. Nowadays, the biological drugs approved with asthma indication are omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab and dupilumab. Tezepelumab is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and, recently, by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). All these biological drugs have shown their efficacy in clinical trials, especially in reducing exacerbations, improving asthma control, quality of life, pulmonary function, and withdrawing systemic corticosteroids or at least reducing their daily dose, with some differences between them. Except for mepolizumab and reslizumab, biological drugs have different targets and thus different therapeutic indications should be expected; however, in some patients, more than one drug could be indicated, making the election more difficult. Because there are no direct comparisons between biological drugs, some biomarkers are used to choose between them, but they are not unbeatable. In this article, an algorithm to choose the first biological drug in a specific patient is proposed based on different study results and patient’ characteristics.

Cost-effectively improving the performance of biochar is essential for its large-scale practical application. In this work, the agro-industrial by-products copper slag and tobacco straw were employed for the preparation of modified biochar (CSBC). The obtained CSBC exhibited satisfactory capacity on Se(IV) immobilization of 190.53 mg/g, with surface interactions determined by the monolayer and mainly chemisorption. The removal mechanisms included chemical reduction, electrostatic attraction, co-precipitation, and formation of complexations. Interestingly, the existence of Cu2Se structure after adsorption indicated the involvement of Cu species within Se(IV) elimination. Moreover, the industrial agricultural practicality of CSBC was evaluated by regeneration tests, economic assessment, and pot experiments. The results demonstrate that iron species-modified biochar prepared from two agro-industrial by-products is a promising and feasible candidate for selenite removal from wastewater.

RNA interference (RNAi) is powerful biotechnology for studying the in vivo functions of key genes. Based on this property, RNAi can also be used for pest control as an effective alternative to chemical pesticides. The management of phloem-sucking pests is a tricky issue in current agricultural and forestry pest control. RNAi can silence key chemoreceptor genes of phloem-sucking pests; thereby regulating the behavior of these pests can be manipulated. So, it is considered to be a promising new type of ecological pest management strategy. In this study, we identified a candidate taste receptor gene, BtGR11, that controls the taste sensitivity to sucrose in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, which is a serious invasive phloem-sucking pest worldwide. Functional analyses using the Xenopus oocyte expression system and the two-electrode voltage-clamp system revealed that the oocytes expressing BtGR11 responded to sucrose. Furthermore, we found that silencing BtGR11 by RNAi inhibited the function of sensing sucrose in the whitefly. This study reports a key chemoreceptor gene that can be used for the understanding of the gustatory sensing mechanisms of whitefly to deterrent.

Background

Radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) is still the most common and severe side effect of radiotherapy. The role of the skin’s microbial barrier in the pathogenesis and progression of RISI needs to be fully investigated.

Methods

This study aimed to explore the alterations in and functions of the skin microbiota in RISI. We applied the unculturable approach to characterize the cutaneous microbiomes of a radiation-induced animal model by sequencing the V1–V3 regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Combined with the downloaded clinical data of patients, a comprehensive analysis was performed to identify potential radioprotective species and metabolic pathways.

Results

There were no significant differences in the alpha diversity indices (Sobs, Shannon, Simpson, Ace, and Chao) between the acute radiation injury and control groups. Phylum-level analysis of the RISI microbiomes exhibited significant predominance of Firmicutes (mean abundance = 67%, corrected p = 0.0035). The high abundance of Firmicutes was significantly associated with rapid healing of RISI (average relative abundance = 52%; Kruskal–Wallis: p = 5.7E−4). Among its members, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Acetivibrio ethanolgignens group, Peptostreptococcus, Anaerofilum, and UCG-002 [linear discriminant analysis (LDA) > 3, p < 0.05] were identified as the core genera of Firmicutes. In addition, Lachnosiraceae and Lactobacillus occupied an important position in the interaction network (r > 0.6, p < 0.05). The differential metabolic pathways of RISI were mainly associated with carbohydrate metabolism (butanoate and propanoate metabolism), amino acid metabolism (tryptophan and histidine metabolism), energy metabolism, and lipid metabolism (fatty acid degradation and biosynthesis).

Conclusion

This study provides new insights into the potential mechanism and skin microbial changes in the progression of RISI. The overwhelming predominance of members of Firmicutes, including Streptococcaceae, Staphylococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Lactobacillus, is potentially related to rapid healing of RISI. The microbiota–metabolite axis plays a critical role in RISI and provides promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of adverse side effects.
Generation of red blood cells from stem cells: Achievements, opportunities and perspectives for malaria research
Authors: Satchwell Timothy J.
Published: November 2022

Parasites of the genus Plasmodium that cause malaria survive within humans by invasion of, and proliferation within, the most abundant cell type in the body, the red blood cell. As obligate, intracellular parasites, interactions between parasite and host red blood cell components are crucial to multiple aspects of the blood stage malaria parasite lifecycle. The requirement for, and involvement of, an array of red blood cell proteins in parasite invasion and intracellular development is well established. Nevertheless, detailed mechanistic understanding of host cell protein contributions to these processes are hampered by the genetic intractability of the anucleate red blood cell. The advent of stem cell technology and more specifically development of methods that recapitulate in vitro the process of red blood cell development known as erythropoiesis has enabled the generation of erythroid cell stages previously inaccessible in large numbers for malaria studies. What is more, the capacity for genetic manipulation of nucleated erythroid precursors that can be differentiated to generate modified red blood cells has opened new horizons for malaria research. This review summarises current methodologies that harness in vitro erythroid differentiation of stem cells for generation of cells that are susceptible to malaria parasite invasion; discusses existing and emerging approaches to generate novel red blood cell phenotypes and explores the exciting potential of in vitro derived red blood cells for improved understanding the broad role of host red blood cell proteins in malaria pathogenesis.

Published: November 2022

GATA3 is a transcription factor that plays an important role in T cell lineage differentiation and T-helper 2 (Th2) type immune responses. In this study, we developed two rat antibodies against Atlantic salmon GATA-3 (anti-rSsGATA-3a and anti-rSsGATA-3b, respectively). The western blotting and immunofluorescence results showed that anti-rSsGATA-3b antibodies recognized endogenous SsGATA-3 proteins, while the anti-rSsGATA-3a antibodies did not bind SsGATA-3. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that SsGATA-3 positive cells were detected in all tissues tested, with relatively high number of immune reactive cells in the gills and spleen. Furthermore, the immunohistochemical study revealed that SsGATA-3 was expressed in pillar cells, epithelial cells, chondrocytes, perichondrium cells, and some undifferentiated basal cells. In addition, we determined 577 bp of the upstream promoter sequence of SsIL-4/13a and found four motifs that matched SsGATA-3 binding sites. The promoter regions of SsIL-4/13a were assessed by transfecting four deletion reporter constructs and SsGATA-3 overexpression plasmids. The result showed that SsGATA-3 enhanced the activity of SsIL-4/13a promoters within the region ranging from -317 to -302 bp upstream of the transcriptional start site. Antibodies against Th2 markers such as GATA-3 are valuable in addressing the diversity of T cell responses in fish.

Published: November 2022

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (T-CMP) related to supraventricular arrhythmia is a rare and often unrecognized cause of refractory cardiogenic shock. When rhythm control interventions are ineffective or no longer pursued, atrioventricular node ablation (AVNA) with pacemaker implantation is indicated. Conduction system pacing provides normal synchronous activation of the ventricles after AVNA. However, there is a lack of data on pace and ablate strategy in hemodynamically unstable patients. We report on 2 patients with T-CMP presenting with refractory cardiogenic shock who were successfully treated with His bundle pacing in conjunction with AVNA.

The US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) contains over 24 million individual case safety reports (ICSRs). In this research project, we evaluated a natural language processing (NLP) tool’s ability to extract four demographic variables (gender, weight, ethnicity, race) from ICSR narratives. Specificity of the NLP algorithm was over 94% for all demographics, while sensitivity varied between the demographics: 98.6% (gender), 45.5% (weight), 100% (ethnicity), and 85.3% (race). Among ICSRs missing weight, ethnicity, and race in the structured field, few cases had this information in the narrative (>95% missing); consequently, the positive predictive value (PPV) for these three demographics had wide 95% confidence intervals. After NLP implementation, the total number of ICSRs missing gender was reduced by 33% (i.e., NLP identified 472 thousand reports having a gender value in the narrative that was not in the structured field), while the total number of ICSRs missing weight, ethnicity, or race was reduced by less than 4%. This study demonstrated that the implementation of an NLP tool can provide meaningful improvements in the availability of gender information for pharmacovigilance activities conducted with FAERS data. In contrast, NLP tools targeting the extraction of weight, ethnicity, or race from free-text fields have minimal impact largely because the information was infrequently provided by the reporter. Further gains in completeness of these fields must originate from increases in provision of demographic information from the reporter rather than informatic solutions.
