Authors: Santamaria Damián Salvador , Tovilla Hernández Cristian , Romero Berny Emilio I. , Matamoros Wilfredo A.
Published: September 2022

Introduction: The specialized root systems of mangroves provide protection and food resources for young and small fish, and it is known that they are reflected on some health condition and growth characteristics of the fish, but much remains to be learned about this subject in the tropics. Objective: To estimate length-weight relationships for ten bony fish species in two tropical mangroves and to compare the allometry and health condition for three species shared among those mangroves. Methods: Between May and November 2019, we collected 1 500 fish specimens from the roots of two mangroves in Chiapas, Mexico (1 322 fishes in stilt-roots and 188 in pneumatophores). We estimated Length-Weight relations with W=aSLb, and the regression parameters (a and b) were calculated by least-squares; as well as univariate analyses to compare standard length, regression slopes, and relative condition among individuals of Poecilia nelsoni, Poeciliopsis fasciata and Dormitator latifrons. Results: The standard length for all species ranged between 0,7 and 21,5 cm and weight between 0,01 and 209,34 g; the regression b-values varied from 2,844 for P. fasciata and 3,847 for Poeciliopsis pleurospilus. TDetermination coefficients were >0,9 for eight species in stilt-roots and for three species in pneumatophores. Specimens of three species collected in both microhabitats were smaller in pneumatophores than in stilt-roots and also differed in b-values; however, the relative health condition was higher only in P. fasciata. Conclusion: The intrinsic conditions of stilt-roots and pneumatophores influence the average size and allometry of fishes at this site. The relative condition does not vary between microhabitats for most species, but may reflect development strategies associated with the environment.

Introducción: La fragmentación debido al cambio de uso de suelos por presiones antropogénicas ha provocado pérdida de hábitats para muchas especies de aves, causando desde movilizaciones poblacionales hasta extinciones locales. Níspero de Cañas, es una comunidad costera de Costa Rica, que presenta un paisaje mixto, compuesto por fragmentos de mangle y bosque seco tropical, altamente vulnerables debido a la acuicultura, industrialización y aumento de la frontera ganadera. Una de las estrategias propuestas para la conservación de estos ecosistemas es el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales. Sin embargo, aún hay profundo desconocimiento de las comunidades de aves presentes en estas matrices ecológicas heterogéneas. Objetivo: caracterizar la diversidad de la avifauna en un paisaje fragmentado. De julio del 2018 a enero del 2019, se llevaron a cabo conteos mensuales de aves. Los sitios de muestreo se clasificaron en cuatro categorías: mangle, potrero, camaroneras y bosque caducifolio. Se determinó la riqueza, abundancia y diversidad alfa general para cada sitio. Resultados: Se registraron 1109 individuos distribuidos en 42 familias, 97 géneros y 125 especies. Las familias más representativas fueron Ardeidae y Tyrannidae. Las camaroneras presentaron los mayores índices de riqueza, seguido del mangle y los potreros. En términos de diversidad no se encontraron diferencias significativas. Conclusión: Este primer abordaje evidencia la importancia de los esfuerzos por integrar paisajes perturbados a los programas de conservación, ya que presentan configuraciones ecológicas nuevas que pueden ser aprovechadas por diversas especies de aves.

Authors: Aguilar Sandí Diego , García Elmer G.
Published: September 2022

Introducción: Myroxylon balsamum es una especie de árbol nativa del neotrópico, cuyas poblaciones podrían estar reduciéndose debido a la tala y a la pérdida de su hábitat. Objetivo: Evaluar la respuesta germinativa de las semillas en tres condiciones de temperatura y en frutos seleccionados según el grosor de la cámara seminífera. Metodología: Los frutos se recolectaron en el Valle Central de Costa Rica entre noviembre de 2019 y junio de 2020. Las semillas se extrajeron y se evaluó la respuesta germinativa a 20ºC, 20/30ºC y 30ºC. Se midió el grosor de las cámaras seminíferas y se diseccionaron. Los frutos se clasificaron en llenos (grosor ≥ 0,7cm) y en vanos (grosor < 0,7cm). Se evaluó la germinación de las semillas dentro de los frutos a 20ºC, 20/30ºC y 30ºC. Resultados: Al incrementarse la temperatura, disminuyó el tiempo para que el 50% de las semillas germinaran y aumentó el número de semillas germinadas por día. Sin embargo, hubo contaminación por patógenos, lo que provocó muerte de semillas. En los frutos llenos, hubo germinación en las tres temperaturas, siendo alta y similar a 20/30ºC (92%) y 30ºC (86%), mientras que en los vanos solo hubo germinación a 20/30ºC (4%). En este caso, la contaminación por patógenos se pudo controlar. Conclusión: La germinación de semillas del árbol de bálsamo se favorece a 20/30ºC y a 30ºC, siempre y cuando permanezcan dentro de frutos que tengan cámaras seminíferas subglobosas (grosor ≥ 0,7cm).

Kömür enerjisi ve buhar gücüne dayalı makineleşmenin gelişmesiyle Avrupa’da başlayan Sanayi Devrimi; 19. yüzyıl ortalarında petrolün alternatif bir enerji kaynağı olarak keşfinden sonra yeni bir çağa girmiştir. ‘Petrol Çağı’ olarak da tanımlanan bu dönem, dünya sanayileşme tarihinin ikinci yarısını oluştururken farklı coğrafyalarda önemli toplumsal, ekonomik ve siyasal etkiler göstermiştir. Modern petrol sanayi, petrolün yer altından çıkarılması, rafineri tesislerinde işlenmesi, depolanması, tüketim yerlerine aktarımı, enerji amaçlı kullanımının yanı sıra yan sanayi üretimleri için yeniden işlenmesi gibi süreçleri içermektedir. Bu üretim aşamalarına koşut 19. yüzyıldan başlayarak dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarında eş zamanlı olarak petrol arama ve kamp sahaları, nakil ve iletim hatları, depolama tesisleri, içerisinde yönetim ve araştırma birimleri bulunan petrol rafineri ve işleme tesisleri, bu tesislerde çalışanlar için tasarlanan ‘şirket yerleşimleri’, akaryakıt satış istasyonları ve ulaşım altyapıları ile kapsamlı bir petrol sanayi mirası ortaya çıkmaktaydı. Tarihsel ve coğrafi bağlamda bu kadar etkili olmasına rağmen petrol sanayinin, sanayi ve mimarlık mirası içerisindeki önemine ilişkin çalışmalar kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’nin Cumhuriyet dönemiyle hızlanan sanayileşme hareketi içerisinde önemli bir yere sahip olan petrol sanayinin tarihsel gelişimine koşut ortaya çıkan yapılı çevre ve mimari birikiminin kültürel miras bağlamında incelenmesidir. Bu kapsamda, Cumhuriyet sonrası ikinci sanayi dönemi olarak kabul edilen 1950-80 yılları arasında Türkiye’de inşa edilen Batman ve ATAŞ Rafineri tesisleri ve lojman yerleşkeleri üzerinden karşılaştırmalı çalışma yapılarak Türkiye’nin hem modern mimarlık mirası; hem de endüstri mirası bağlamı içerisindeki yeri ve önemi tartışılmaktadır.

Published: September 2022

In order to study the movement and shape change characteristic of bubble when passing through the interface of two kinds of liquids with different viscosity, the free rising process of a single bubble in static stratified liquids was numerically simulated with the volume-of-fluid method. The results show that, when the initial height of bubble rising is the same, the rising velocity, deformation increase with the increase of bubble radius. When the maximum intensity of the vortex in the bubble is distributed at the top of the bubble, the top of the left and right sides and the bottom of the left and right sides, the bubble shape is spherical, ellipsoid and spherical cap shape respectively. At different initial heights, the bubble trajectory shows three different shapes ? linear, spiral, and C-shaped. The relation-ship between the bubble aspect ratio and rising height is predicted when different radius bubble passing through the interface. The amount of liquid B (lower layer) carried by the bubble increases with the increase of the bubble?s initial radius, and the amount of liquid carried by bubbles in C-shaped trajectory is higher than that in spiral trajectory.
Combustion stability control of a single-piston free piston engine generator
Authors: Wang Jinlong , Xiao Jin , Cheng Yingdong , Huang Zhen
Published: September 2022

Free piston engine generator is an effective alternative to conventional range ex-tender, which is able to facilitate the transportation sector decarbonization attributed to its high thermal efficiency and ultimate fuel flexibility. However, due to the lack of crankshaft mechanism, stable and robust operation of free piston engine generator is difficult to achieve since various disturbances may exist during its operation. In this paper, a combustion stability control based on active disturbance rejection control algorithm was proposed for a single piston free piston engine generator. To develop this control, a thermodynamic model of the free piston engine generator system was calibrated and validated through experimental data. Afterward, a 2nd order active disturbance rejection control based speed control was developed by leveraging the developed free piston engine generator model. The proposed active disturbance rejection control was employed into multiple abnormal combustion scenarios through a simulation, including various fuel heat released, ignition positions and burn durations, aimed to verify the control ability of rejecting disturbances and enhancing the robustness of the free piston engine generator operation.

Published: September 2022

In this study, a numerical study of transient combined natural-convection and surface radiation in a cylindrical cavity with a heated plate placed inside is carried out using the open-source platform OpenFOAM. The effects of the Rayleigh number (105 ? Ra ? 107), inclination angle (0? ? ? ? 90?), and surface emissivity (0 ? ? ? 1) on the velocity components, temperature field, and Nusselt number are investigated in detail. Results show that the Rayleigh number has a greater effect on the radiative heat transfer than on natural-convection. Radiative heat transfer increases monotonously with the increase of surface emissivity, and its contribution could be over 50% of the total heat transfer rate. The inclination angle of the plate affects the flow structure, but the difference in total Nusselt number is less than 10% for various inclination angles. Results in this study provide insights into the transient characteristics of coupled thermal radiation and natural-convection in a 3-D cavity and will guide the optimal design of related devices.
An analytical thermal model for the 3-D integrated circuit with new-type through silicon via
Authors: Xu Zhao-Pei , Wang Kang-Jia
Published: September 2022

Through silicon via technology is a promising and preferred way to realize the reliable interconnection for 3-D integrated circuit (3-D IC), which can transfer heat from multiple dies to the heat sink in vertical direction. In this paper, a new gen?eral model of the through-silicon via (TSV) is proposed to investigate the thermal performance of the 3-D IC. The heat transfer characteristics of conical-annular TSV are studied for the first time. The impacts of different sidewall inclination angles and insulating layer thicknesses of TSV on the heat dissipation of 3-D IC were compared and analyzed in detail. As expected, our proposed model is in good agreement with the results of the existing models, which shows that the proposed model considering the lateral heat transfer and TSV structures can predict the distribution of temperature more efficiently and accurately. Furthermore, it is found that conical-annular TSV has more excellent heat dissipation performance.

Published: September 2022

Objective

To quantify dentoskeletal changes accompanying the use of extrusion arches during the treatment of anterior open bite (AOB) in adults.

Materials and Methods

A total of 23 adult patients with an AOB of −3.05 mm ± 1.27 mm were treated with upper and lower extrusion arches after the alignment phase. Lateral cephalograms were taken before placement of the extrusion arch, immediately after closure of the open bite (T2), and at the end of orthodontic treatment (T3). Data were statistically analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance and the Bonferroni post hoc test for pairwise comparisons (α = 0.05).

Results

Successful closure of AOB, with an overall change in overbite of 4.73 ± 1.93 mm, was achieved in an average of 3.8 months and remained stable at T3. Upper and lower incisors were significantly extruded by 2.05 mm ± 0.72 mm and 2.54 mm ± 1.63 mm, respectively, and significantly retroclined by 6.36° ± 1.63° and 8.45° ± 3.83°, respectively, with a resultant increase in the interincisal angle of 12.80° ± 2.09°. Statistically significant intrusion and mesial tipping (P < .001) of the maxillary and mandibular first molars were observed at T2. Dentoskeletal changes remained stable at T3, except for a significant reduction of the mesial tipping of the maxillary and mandibular first molars.

Conclusions

The combined use of maxillary and mandibular extrusion arches resulted in significant favorable dentoskeletal changes that led to the successful closure of AOB during a short duration of treatment.

Published: September 2022

Existing patient-reported outcome measures cannot comprehensively capture the full impact of living with a dermatological condition. The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual framework on which to build a new Patient-Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases (PRIDD) measure. Adults (≥ 18 years of age) living with a dermatological condition, worldwide and/or representatives from a patient organization [AQ2] via a global patient organization network, were invited to an individual or group interview. Data were analysed thematically. Sixty-five people from 29 countries, representing 29 dermatological conditions, participated. Key themes were: (i) impacts at the individual, organizational and societal levels; (ii) impacts were point-in-time and cumulative; and (iii) impact is a multifaceted construct, with 2 subthemes (iiia) common impacts and (iiib) psychological and social impacts are most significant. The conceptual framework shows that impact is a multifaceted concept presenting across physical, psychological, social, financial, daily functioning and healthcare, and provides the basis for co-constructing the PRIDD with patients.

Published: September 2022

As atopic eczema is triggered by environmental factors, such as temperature, differences in disease burden between and within countries are possible. One method to study this phenomenon is to perform web-search analysis, since the internet is commonly used to retrieve health-related information. This study, investigating the Google search volume regarding eczema in Swedish counties between April 2017 and March 2021, revealed a continuous increase in number of searches and that the search volume was higher in Northern than Southern Sweden. Gotland had the most searches per 100,000 inhabitants. In general, there was a negative correlation between search volume and temperature (r=–0.315, p < 0.001) and hours of sunshine (r=–0.213, p < 0.001), whereas there was a positive association between search volume and wind (r=0.229, p < 0.001). Search engine analysis is a rapid and cost-effective method of examining search behaviour regarding disease among the general population within a country and, thus, can enable the identification of regions with specific interests and needs.

Published: September 2022

Motor listrik yang banyak digunakan dalam industri adalah jenis motor induksi. Motor induksi dibedakan berdasarkan sumber listrik PLN yaitu 1 fasa, dan 3 fasa. Motor induksi 3 fasa merupakan motor yang banyak digunakan, namun memiliki kekurangan salah satunya yaitu sulitnya untuk mengatur kecepatan dari motor induksi 3 fasa. Kekurangan tersebut dapat diatasi dengan sistem pengendali inverter atau Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), Human Machine Interface (HMI), Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) yang ditambahkan dengan expansion PLC. HMI berfungsi untuk melakukan input frekuensi 0-50 Hz, kemudian akan diproses oleh expansion PLC dan menghasilkan skala 0-10 VDC yang dapat diterima oleh VFD. Masukan nilai dari VFD akan dikonversikan menjadi nilai frekuensi 0-50 Hz untuk menggerakkan motor. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian nilai kecepatan motor yang dibaca oleh sensor infrared dan tachometer mengalami kenaikan saat nilai frekuensi dinaikan, namun dari nilai rpm tersebut terdapat selisih hasil pembacaan kemudian dibandingkan antara kedua data tersebut dan mendapatkan rata-rata error 6,9%. Nilai tegangan berbanding lurus dengan kenaikan frekuensi motor induksi 3 fasa.
Rancang Bangun Antena Mikrostrip MIMO 4 Elemen Untuk Komunikasi 5G Pada Frekuensi Band N40
Authors: Akbar Fannush Shofi , Saharani Aulia
Published: September 2022

This study discusses the design of the MIMO microstrip antenna which is implemented in a 5G communication system that works on the N40 frequency band (2.3-2.4 GHz) with the center frequency of 2.35 GHz. The parameters that are unique of this antenna is focusing on the mutual coupling and correlation of MIMO antennas. The MIMO configuration was chosen because it can meet the high data transmission needs of 5G communication systems. The antenna is composed of a square patch with a microstrip insert feed-line technique. Then, the substrate uses FR-4 material, with a dielectric constant value of 4.3. After the design of a single element antenna that works according to the criteria is obtained, then the antenna is arranged into a configuration of 4 parallel elements, a 2×2 MIMO configuration with uniform polarization, and a 2×2 MIMO configuration with non-uniform polarization. After the design process, the antenna design is fabricated and then measured using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The analysed antenna parameters are return loss, mutual coupling, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), bandwidth, and radiation pattern. From the element measurement results, it is found that the return loss is -11.24 dB and the bandwidth is 70 MHz at the center frequency of 2.35 GHz. As for the analysis of mutual coupling between elements, the best results were obtained from the MIMO configuration of 2×2 non-uniform polarization with values -20 dB for all elements. The antenna measurement results obtained indicate a similarity with the simulation results. This result is suitable for MIMO applications that require very low mutual coupling and correlation between elements.
Multilingual researcher education at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel: a case study
Authors: Lochtmann Katja
Published: September 2022

The article discusses the impact of multilingual researcher education on multilingual research practices at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Because of internationalising educational programmes in higher education, learner groups became more and more multilingual and heterogeneous, which calls for an appropriate pedagogical approach. The question is, how and to what extent multilingual researcher education programmes determine the success of dealing with multilingual research practices of (future) researchers. Multilingual research education within the programme of the Multilingual Master in Linguistics and Literary Studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is discussed. It is felt that research methodology courses, master paper supervision and research internships in a multilingual context – where students can use more than one language in the research process – are considered an example of good practice in the light of the university’s successful internationalisation policy.

Lo estético en la distopía fílmica, desde la complejidad y la transdisciplinariedad: estudio de caso
Authors: Treviño Contreras Oscar Andrés
Published: September 2022

According to Zavala (2016) the aesthetics of cinema is any philosophical reflection on the nature of cinema and on the experience of the film viewer. According to Aumont et al (1985) the aesthetics of cinema is the study of cinema as art and one of the aspects it presents is the analysis of films. For Lotman (1979), contemporary cinema incorporates acoustic-visual messages and extra-textual relations that add structures of very varied meaning, and allows us to define cinema as a polyphonic art. Based on the contributions of Morin (1994, 1999) and Nicolescu (2009) with the epistemology of complexity and transdisciplinarity, the analysis of the film V for Vendetta (2005), presents the understanding of dystopia as a complex social system where different levels of reality intervene.

Violence in literature has belonged to the discursive male territory, in correspondence with the patriarchal roles. However, in recent decades women have begun to explore this thematic horizon, generating a new aesthetic of the violence with significantly subversive undertones from the voice supported by the new femininity. In the novel by Zoé Valdés, Sea wolves, violence is associated to the transgression of the generic identities of two women turned into pirates.

(Un)Seeing as Care or Control: The Collection of Race-Identified COVID-19 Data
Authors: Oduro-Marfo Smith , Percy-Campbell Jessica , Ng Yu Ling Lynn
Published: September 2022

The over-surveillance of racialized or colonized groups for the purposes of control is a well-documented issue. At the same time, there tends to be an under-monitoring of these same groups in cases where such surveillance by state or governmental actors could have implications for care outcomes through the safeguarding of public health provisions. This article draws attention to calls in Canada, particularly by black communities, for the collection of race-identified COVID-19 patient data. The collection of such race-identified data has been deemed by proponents as necessary for a more thorough understanding of and equitable policy response to the pandemic. While these calls mean making an already over-surveilled population more visible to states and governments, they also represent an exercise of agency by members of oppressed groups in negotiating how and when they should be visible. Such calls for race-identified data thus unsettle the increasingly “negative” understanding of surveillance and highlight how the care potential of surveillance cannot be dismissed even if surveillance systems are simultaneously dangerous.
Data and the Good?
Authors: Susser Daniel
Published: September 2022

Surveillance studies scholars and privacy scholars have each developed sophisticated, important critiques of the existing data-driven order. But too few scholars in either tradition have put forward alternative substantive conceptions of a good digital society. This, I argue, is a crucial omission. Unless we construct new “sociotechnical imaginaries,” new understandings of the goals and aspirations digital technologies should aim to achieve, the most surveillance studies and privacy scholars can hope to accomplish is a less unjust version of the technology industry’s own vision for the future.

For instance, this was the case with 16 of 20 TF families. The results are interpreted to indicate that while individual TFs such as EZH2 may be specific for broadly expressed or tissue targeted genes, this is not a property of most TF families. Most have both broadly expressed and tissue targeted members

Three Main Factors in Decision Making Process for Migration: Decision Quality, Implementation, Timing
Authors: AKIN Mustafa Şeref
Published: September 2022

In the decision-making process in Tabak (2020) model, three factors must be met to be successful: Decision quality, implementation, and timing. In the article, the predictions of this decision-making model were observed on immigrants. It has been determined that those who managed to migrate act in harmony with this model. Before making a decision, the individual knows the reasons for going, examines the countries receiving immigration and collects resources. In this process, acquiring an international profession, working in an international company, learning a foreign language, visiting the target country, catching job opportunities and acquiring a social environment are the best practices of the preparation period. Migrating as a career professional or learning a profession in the place of migration facilitates the migration process. In practice, perseverance, tolerance for uncertainties, using opportunities in the country of immigration, attending language or education programs first, and leaving family members one by one bring success. In terms of timing, being young, single, childless, a child at a young age and beginning of his/her career help to move faster and more flexible.

Authors: Fadhel Mena Amer , Abdulhussein Firas Mudhafar
Published: September 2022

This study aims to detect cadmium accumulation in the soil of Baghdad. Twenty soil samples were collected randomly during November 2020 to cover the study area, emphasizing the nature of each area (agricultural, commercial, industrial, residential, roadside, and waste dumping sites). All soil samples were subjected to geochemical analysis using atomic absorption spectrometry (ASS) to determine the concentration of cadmium in Baghdad soil. The laboratory data was utilized to design the spatial analysis map using Arc GIS 10.4.1 to investigate the spatial distribution of cadmium. The results demonstrated that the total content of cadmium in the study area ranged from 0.121to 1.78 mg/kg. All results of cadmium concentrations are within the allowable limits of WHO (3 mg/kg), and the mean concentration of cadmium according to the type of land use is shown by the following decreasing order: roadside > agricultural areas > residential areas > industrial areas >waste dumping site> commercial. In addition, the spatial analysis map showed the accumulation of cadmium concentration on the Al-Karkh side than on the Al-Rissafa side of Baghdad city. A comparison between cadmium concentration in the soil of some land- use for the current study and cadmium concentration in previous studies showed that the concentration of cadmium decreased from previous years, except roadside sites recorded a higher cadmium concentration than the cadmium concentration of roadside areas according to [12].
Serum thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) levels correlate with atopic dermatitis disease severity in patients < 6 months

Published: September 2022

Background:Atopic dermatitis (AD) may develop by 6 months of age, and its severity assessment is essential for appropriate treatments. Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) is suggested to evaluate the severity of AD but is cumbersome for routine clinical use. The serum thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) is used as a marker of AD severity. However, the normal range of the TARC levels varies by age, and its usefulness for the evaluation of AD severity has not been established in patients ages < 6 months. Here, we evaluated the correlation between serum TARC levels and SCORAD scores in early infancy and sought the optimal cutoff level to indicate AD severity.Methods:The subjects were 35 patients with AD (16 girls and 19 boys; 3‐5 months of age) who visited our clinic between April 2015 and March 2017. All the patients were physically examined by a board-certified allergist. The AD severity was determined by using the SCORAD, together with serum levels of TARC, total immunoglobulin E (IgE), lactate dehydrogenase, and peripheral eosinophil counts. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the cutoff levels of serum TARC to indicate AD severity.Results:Significant correlations were observed between SCORAD scores and the serum TARC levels, peripheral eosinophil counts, and serum IgE levels (r = 0.640, r = 0.723, r = 0.533, respectively). The optimal cutoff levels of serum TARC to indicate mild and severe AD were <3523 pg/mL (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.856) and >6192 pg/mL (AUC = 0.833), respectively.Conclusion:Although this study had limitations, we suggest that serum TARC is useful as a marker of AD severity in patients <6 months of age.

Published: September 2022

Background: Cat allergen is among the most common household allergens and can cause respiratory allergies and anaphylaxis in children. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of cat allergies in children and the impact of the
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on these characteristics. Methods: The study included pediatric patients with cat allergen sensitization demonstrated by skin-prick test (SPT) over a period of 2 years: 1 year before and 1 year during the pandemic. Demographic
data, clinical features, and laboratory findings were evaluated from the patients' records. Results: Of 7428 SPTs performed, 566 patients (7.6%) were sensitized to cat allergen (56% boys; median age, 11 years). Fifty-eight percent of the patients (n = 329) presented during
the pandemic period, 44.5% (n = 252) had symptoms with cat exposure, and 9% (n = 51/566) had anaphylaxis. Allergic rhinitis and asthma were present in 76% (n = 431) and 46.6% (n = 264) of the patients, respectively. When compared to prepandemic period, patients who presented during the pandemic
had higher rates of cat sensitization (15% in pandemic group versus 4.4% in prepandemic group of all SPTs performed; p < 0.05), cat ownership (29.1% versus 13.9%; p < 0.001), and symptoms on cat exposure (51% versus 34%; p < 0.001). Factors that predicted symptom development in the
patients who were cat sensitized were induration > 5 mm on SPT (odds ratio [OR] 1.9 [95% confidence interval {95% CI}], 1.1‐3.2), cat ownership (OR 9.2 [95% CI, 4.9‐17.3]), close contact with a cat owner (OR 7.1 [95% CI, 4‐12]), allergic rhinitis (OR 3.1 [95% CI, 1.6‐5.8]),
conjunctivitis (OR 4.7 [95% CI, 2‐10]), and atopic dermatitis (OR 2.2 [95% CI, 1‐4.7]). Conclusion: We observed an increase in the prevalence of cat allergy among children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Care must be taken in terms of anaphylaxis in patients
who were cat sensitized.
Clinical implications of asthma endotypes and phenotypes
Authors: Taunk Silpa T. , Cardet Juan C. , Ledford Dennis K.
Published: September 2022

Background: Asthma is a complex disorder with variable clinical expression. Recognizable clinical and laboratory features define phenotypes, and specific biologic pathways define endotypes. Identifying the specific pathway responsible for persistent asthma would enable the
clinician to select the optimal inhibitors, which currently are biologic therapies. Objective: To provide an up-to-date review of the current clinical status of endotype and phenotype characterizations of asthma and discuss these categories in relation to the available,
or likely available, biologic therapies for asthma. Methods: The medical literature was reviewed based on the search terms: asthma biologics, severe asthma, uncontrolled asthma, corticosteroid-dependent asthma, phenotype, endotype, and type 2. We also used our knowledge
of the literature and current research. Results: All of the current biologics, including the recently approved tezepelumab, were most effective with increased type 2 biomarkers, which identify exacerbation-prone asthma. Current biomarkers do not permit consistent identification
of specific endotypes to facilitate informed selection of the optimal therapy for an individual patient. Thus, empiricism and the art of care continue to play major roles in treatment selection. Conclusion: Current biologic therapies for asthma and those likely to be U.S.
Food and Drug Administration approved within the near future work best in subjects with strong type 2 signatures. Available biomarkers and observable characteristics do not enable clinicians to recognize specific endotypes, but rather subphenotypes or overlapping endotypes. The goal of identifying
the optimal patient for a specific therapy remains elusive, but worthy of pursuit. In the interim, the availability of an increasing number of treatment options allows the clinician to help most of his or her patients.
