Introduction: Sepsis and septic shock are organ dysfunctions caused by the dysregulation of the body's response to infection and are the most common causes of death. Objective: This study aims to describe the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and lactate levels in patients with sepsis and septic shock who died in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Materials and Methods: An observational retrospective study was conducted by examining the medical record data of sepsis and sepsis shock patients who were hospitalized in the ICU of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya from January to December 2019. Results: The study sample was 28 patients: 16 with sepsis and 12 with septic shock. Fifteen patients (53.6%) were women. The patients’ mean age was 53.18 ± 13.61 years, and most patients (8 patients, 28.6%) belonged to the late adult age group (36-45 years). The most common comorbidities were diabetes mellitus and hypertension (30.8%). The highest incidence of infection in both groups occurred in the lungs (42.9%). Most of the patients had high SOFA scores, in the moderate (7-9) to severe (≥ 10) category (39.3%). Almost all patients (82.1%) were treated for less than one week. The hematological examination within the first 24 hours showed a leukocyte value of 16,995 (Leukocytosis) and a platelet value of 279,500 (Normal). The NLR of septic shock patients (31.38±55.61) was higher than the NLR of sepsis patients (23.75±22.87). The PLR of septic shock patients (534.02±1000.67) was lower than the PLR of patients (802.93±1509.89). Lastly, the lactate levels in septic shock patients (3.84±1.99) were higher than in sepsis patients (1.97±1.06). Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the NLR and PLR values ​​between sepsis and septic shock patients, but there were significant differences in their initial lactate levels.

Introduction: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a disease caused by abnormalities in the myocardium. This abnormality reduces the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body. Anesthetic drugs have a major cardiovascular effect under general and regional anesthesia. Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of prilocaine as a subarachnoid block regional anesthetic drug in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery with comorbid heart failure. Case Report: A 59-year-old man came complained of a lump in his left upper groin that had been present since a day before his admission to the hospital. The lump could not be inserted. The patient felt pain in the lump area with a visual analog score (VAS) of 7-8. His blood pressure was 138/84 mmHg, pulse rate was 104 times per minute, respiration rate was 22 times per minute, temperature was 36oC for axillary measurement, oxygen saturation was 92% based on room oxygen, and VAS was 7-8. The abdominal examination revealed a lump in the patient's left upper groin that could not be reinserted, hyperemic, and painful when pressed. With an EF Teich of 17.1%, the echocardiographic examination revealed that the dimensions of the patient’s heart chambers (RV and LV dilatation) and LV systolic function had decreased. Conclusion: Stable hemodynamics in non-cardiac surgery with a relatively short duration is the main choice for HF patients. Spinal anesthesia with a regimen of 2% prilocaine at a dose of 80 mg plus 0.1 mg morphine resulted in stable hemodynamics and low pain scores in patients with comorbid congestive heart failure undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Introduction: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a global pandemic and many management challenges. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is one of the most common pneumonia complications in COVID-19 cases. ARDS in COVID-19 have worse outcomes and increased risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Objective: This case report aims to recognize and understand ARDS management in a severe COVID-19 case. Case Report: A 68-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and hypertension arrived at the Emergency Room (ER) after experiencing five days of fever, cough, diarrhea with frequency of four times a day, weakness, and a positive antigen result for COVID-19 at admission. Anosmia was absent. The patient had been vaccinated for COVID-19 twice. The main problem was his desaturation of 88%, blood pressure of 156/73 mmHg, heart rate of 80x/minute, and respiratory rate of 20x/minute. However, the patient was alert and admitted to the isolation ward. After 21 days of hospitalization, the patient's condition worsened. The patient developed ARDS and was referred to the COVID ICU for 25 days and 20 days to the non-COVID ICU, where he was intubated, and a tracheostomy was performed. After 45 days of admission to the ICU, the patient's condition improved. Discussion: COVID-19 patients with ARDS should be immediately intubated when conditions such as dyspnea, RR>30x/min, SpO2<92% (for patients with no comorbidities) or <95% (for patients with comorbidities), unconsciousness, or shock appears. Furthermore, other conditions, such as an HR> of 120x/min and a ROX index of <3.851, should be considered an indication for intubation. Conclusion: Timely intubation improves the outcome of COVID-19 patients with ARDS.

Authors: Young Sara E. , Sritharan Ramja , Sia Daniela
Published: July 2023

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is an aggressive and heterogeneous biliary cancer with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. The molecular pathogenesis of iCCA involves a highly complex process entailing multiple genetic alterations and dysregulation of signaling pathways. Recent advancements in our understanding of the genetic landscape of iCCA have opened new opportunities for therapeutic interventions. Technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) have contributed to elucidating the genetic heterogeneity of iCCA, leading to the identification of numerous potentially actionable genetic alterations. Despite these advances, the prognosis of iCCA patients remains dismal. In this review, we provide an extensive summary of the current knowledge on genetic alterations in iCCA, their biological impact on patients, potential therapeutic targets, approved targeted therapies, and ongoing clinical trials with targeted agents. Furthermore, we discuss the main technologies available for studying genetic alterations and their advantages and limitations. Finally, we highlight future directions in studying genetic alterations and the development of new targeted therapies and personalized medicine approaches.
Robust adaptive finite-time course tracking control of vessel under actuator attacks
Authors: Meng Xiangfei , Zhang Guichen , Han Bing
Published: July 2023

This paper studies the course tracking control problem of unmanned surface vessels under the influence of uncertain dynamics, external unknown disturbances, constraints, and actuator attacks. In the design of the control scheme, adaptive technology is applied to approach the uncertain dynamics of the system, and a nonlinear finite-time disturbance observer is established to reconstruct the actuator attack signal and the unknown time-varying disturbances online. Combining disturbance compensation and adaptive technology, a finite-time course tracking control scheme is designed. The control scheme does not need to obtain the prior knowledge of the model in advance, and it has good robustness in the face of uncertain dynamics within the system, external disturbances, and actuator attacks. A rigorous stability analysis is provided for the control scheme based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulation shows that the proposed control scheme can effectively resist the influence of actuator attacks and external uncertain disturbances.

Authors: Kok Danielle N. , Zhou Diana , Tsourkas Philippos K. , Hendrickson Heather L.
Published: July 2023

Background: American foulbrood (AFB) is a devastating disease of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera ) and is found throughout the world. AFB is caused by the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae ). Treatment with antibiotics is strictly forbidden in many regions, including New Zealand. Safe and natural prophylactic solutions to protect honey bees from AFB are needed. Bacteriophages are a well-studied alternative to antibiotics and have been shown to be effective against P. larvae in other countries.

Methods: We employed a community science approach to obtaining samples from around New Zealand to discover novel bacteriophages. Standard isolation approaches were employed for both bacteria and bacteriophages. Host range testing was performed by agar overlay spot tests, and cocktail formulation and in vitro testing were performed in 96-well plate assays, followed by sub-sampling and CFU visualization on agar plates.

Results: Herein, we describe the discovery and isolation of eight P. larvae bacterial isolates and 26 P. larvae bacteriophages that are novel and native to New Zealand. The phage genomes were sequenced and annotated, and their genomes were compared to extant sequenced P. larvae phage genomes. We test the host ranges of the bacteriophages and formulate cocktails to undertake in vitro testing on a set of representative bacterial strains. These results form the basis of a promising solution for protecting honey bees in New Zealand from AFB.

Impact of harvest date on aroma compound composition of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon must and wine in a context of climate change: a focus on cooked fruit molecular markers
Authors: Allamy Lucile , Van Leeuwen Cornelis , Pons Alexandre
Published: July 2023

Choice of harvest date can modulate the aroma intensity of herbaceous/vegetal, fresh fruit and cooked fruit nuances, thus helping the winemaker to produce wine of different styles and balance. Relationships between the sensory attributes and aroma compounds of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes that were harvested sequentially and the resulting wines were evaluated for two vintages: 2012 and 2014. The fine-tuning of the harvest date modulated the aromas of the young wine and impacted the intensity of the cooked fruit aromas for both Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon. No correlation was observed between the must and wine in terms of the intensity of the cooked fruit aroma. In order to observe an impact on the intensity of the cooked fruit aroma it was necessary to delay the harvest date of Cabernet-Sauvignon by 4 to 12 days in 2012 and 2014 respectively. This value was 7 days for Merlot wines (2014 vintage). Furanones, lactone and ketones were well correlated with the perceived intensity of the cooked fruit aroma in the young wine. In addition, the highest concentrations of γ-nonalactone, 3-methyl-2,4-nonanedione, massoia lactone and furaneol were detected in Merlot wines made using late-harvested grapes. At the measured concentrations, these compounds can explain the aroma of cooked fruit detected in the red wines. Similar results were obtained for the Cabernet-Sauvignon wines made from grapes from a later harvest. The volatile compounds produced from the lipoxygenase pathway in the grapes were putatively involved in the evolution of the aroma of the red wines from sequential harvest dates, opening up the possibility of managing aroma profiles through harvest date decisions. These findings are important, as the identification of measurable key chemical parameters in grapes could provide grape growers and winemakers objective indicators for predicting final wine style and quality.

Published: July 2023

A book is not only a carrier of information, but also the way of its aesthetic visualization. This actualizes the problem of understanding a book as an artistic artifact. The study of the book in this context implies the identification of several aspects: the art of the book; the existence of the book as an exhibit of museum and exhibition art space; the use of the book as a compositional and meaningful element of works of fine art, as a component of library design, living and working spaces; alterbooking and architectural structures in the form of a book. The article is devoted to the art of the book and its exhibition in museum and exhibition space. Its goal is to systematize the factors and features that should be considered in the study of the art of book for the possibility of its holistic interpretation from an art criticism perspective. The article considers the role of decoration in creating visual and verbal unity. The functions of illustration depending on the cultural and historical context as well as a purpose of the book are determined. Attention is paid to such phenomena of book art as fore-edge painting, artist’s book and art albums. The existence of the book in museum and exhibition art space is also considered. There are two types of exhibitions: single-subject exhibitions devoted exclusively to books and exhibitions with other objects participating in the realization of the semantic concept of a cultural event.

Published: July 2023

The issue of reflecting the scientific achievements of individual scientists and the results of research activities of research teams in the information environment is of great importance for many branches of science and practice, including medicine, where open data can improve the provision of medical care and influence healthcare policy. The effectiveness of search queries and the further effective use of the data obtained in research and practice, especially during epidemics and the treatment of serious diseases, largely depend on accessibility of medical information. Scientific repositories allow the management of all kinds of research results, integration with information systems, and compliance with the FAIR principles. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze development, indexing (in catalogs), visibility by search engines, type-specific characteristics, etc., of open access medical repositories in Russia and abroad. As a result, of the study, the following conclusions are made: 1) the number of repositories in the world is growing, including an increase in their number in the subject area “Medicine and Health”; 2) the infrastructure of Russian open access information platforms is being formed. However, open medical repositories are being developed poorly, most part of which is not represented in global catalogs (OpenDOAR) and is incompatible with the OAI-PMN standard, which allows the collection of data from repositories by various search engines.

Riparian forests serve as important habitats that enhance diversity of bird species and perform crucial ecosystem functions in tropical forest landscapes. We compared the community structure (represented by functional trait composition) and diversity (represented by Shannon index) of birds in riparian and upland zones in a semi-continuous primary rainforest in Papua New Guinea. Distance sampling was applied to provide unbiased abundance estimates. Bird community structure was examined by principal coordinate analysis of neighbour matrices (PCNM) in the Canoco 5 program. Analysis of diversity was performed using mixed-effects linear models in R 3.5.1. Species diversity was marginally higher in riparian zones (P = 0.065). Community structure differed significantly in riparian and upland zones (P = 0.008). Invertivorous and omnivorous birds preferred riparian habitats but frugivorous and nectivorous birds avoided riparian zones. Birds in riparian zones were characterised by preferences for high-density forest interior but birds in upland areas mostly occupied exposed canopy layers. Beak dimensions were greater in riparian zones but body mass, and lengths of wing and tarsus were greater in upland zones. Species found in riparian zones had greater geographical ranges than those in upland zones. Our results highlight the adaptability of a rainforest bird community to natural disturbances characterised by localised river flooding and riverbank erosion. For example, small invertivorous and omnivorous birds can navigate disturbed vegetation and exploit river-associated invertebrate food supply while moving to alternative food sources during intensive flooding. On the other hand, large frugivorous and nectarivorous birds are mostly sedentary and require an intact canopy layer for foraging, responding poorly to changes in vegetation structure. By moving beyond species-level relationships when examining bird community structure, we were able to better interpret and connect our findings with other studies on bird communities in tropical rainforest.
Energetics of Interfaces and Strain Partition in GaN/AlN Pseudomorphic Superlattices

Published: July 2023

We present the results of a twofold experimental and computational study of (0001) GaN/AlN multilayers forming pseudomorphic superlattices. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) shows that heterostructures with GaN Quantum Wells (QW) four c-lattice parameters thick are misfit-dislocation free. Accurate structural data are extracted from HRTEM images via a new methodology optimizing the residual elastic energy stored in the samples. Total energy calculations are performed with several models analogous to the experimental QWs with increasing thicknesses of GaN, whereas this of the AlN barrier is kept fixed at n=8 c-lattice parameters. With vanishing external stresses, minimum energy configurations of the studied systems correspond to different strain states. Linear elasticity accurately yields the corresponding lattice parameters, suppressing the need for on-purpose total energy calculations. Theoretically justified parabolic fits of the excess interfacial energy yield the values of interfacial stress and elastic stiffness as functions of the GaN QW thickness. Total species-projected densities of states and gap values extracted therefrom allow deciphering the effect of the evolving strain on the electronic structure of the superlattice. It is found that the gap energy decreases linearly with increasing the strain of the QW. These results are briefly discussed in the light shed by previous works from the literature.

Voice spoofing attempts to break into a specific automatic speaker verification (ASV) system by forging the user’s voice, and can be used through methods, such as text-to-speech (TTS), voice conversion (VC), and replay attacks. Recently, deep learning-based voice spoofing countermeasures have been developed. however, the problem with replay is that it is difficult to construct a large number of datasets because it requires a physical recording process. To overcome these problems, this study proposes a pre-training framework based on multi-order acoustic simulation for replay voice spoofing detection. Multi-order acoustic simulation utilizes existing clean signal and room impulse response (RIR) datasets to generate audios, which simulate the various acoustic configurations of the original and replayed audios. The acoustic configuration refers to factors, such as the microphone type, reverberation, time delay, and noise that may occur between a speaker and microphone during the recording process. We assume that a deep learning model trained on an audio that simulates the various acoustic configurations of the original and replayed audios can classify the acoustic configurations of the original and replay audios well. To validate this, we performed pre-training to classify the audio generated by the multi-order acoustic simulation into 3 classes: clean signal, audio simulating the acoustic configuration of the original audio, and audio simulating the acoustic configuration of the replay audio. We also set the weights of the pre-training model to the initial weights of the replay voice spoofing detection model using the existing replay voice spoofing dataset and then performed fine-tuning. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we evaluated the performance of the conventional method without pre-training and proposed method using an objective metric, i.e., the accuracy. As a result, the conventional method achieved 92.94% accuracy and proposed method achieved 98.16% accuracy.
Developing New Strategies for Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Authors: GONZALEZ-BARCA EVA
Published: July 2023

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive and biologically heterogeneous disease. Approximately 40% of patients with DLBCL will experience disease relapse or will be refractory to first line chemoimmunotherapy. In recent years there have been several new therapeutic agents approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL. These agents include anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies (CAR T-cells) and monoclonal antibodies as polatuzumab and tafasitamab. Nevertheless, despite the high efficacy of all these new therapies, there are still patients who do not respond or relapse, representing an unmet clinical need. This review describes new promising therapies that are under investigation to treat R/R DLBCL.

Asphalt pavement temperature has several applications, including pavement structural design and evaluation, asphalt mixture design, asphalt binder grade determination and material aging characterization. However, available asphalt pavement temperature prediction models were mostly developed for temperate climatic conditions, outside of the tropics. Before such models are adopted for use in a tropical climate, their applicability must be evaluated. This study evaluated five empirical asphalt pavement temperature prediction models developed by Lukanen et al. [1], Park et al. [2], Diefenderfer et al. [3], Taamneh [4] all in the United States and Asefzadeh et al. [5] in Canada to ascertain their prediction accuracy in tropical climate, using Ghana as a case study. In-situ asphalt pavement temperature data were measured at two sites for eight months: Kumasi and Tamale in the Forest and Savannah climatic zones, respectively. The measured pavement temperature data were statistically compared with predicted temperatures, and it was found that the Park et al. [2] model provided a more accurate pavement temperature prediction in both climatic zones. The other models either over-predicted or under-predicted asphalt pavement temperature with significant error margins. However, there is a need to improve the prediction accuracy of the Park et al. [2] model or a local model developed.

Published: July 2023

This study presents a comprehensive investigation of entropy generation during natural convection in a porous medium with Casson fluid. The governing equations, including the momentum, energy, and entropy balance equations, are solved numerically using finite element method. Through the analysis, various parameters affecting entropy generation are investigated, such as the Casson fluid parameter, Radiation, Prandtl number, and Rayleigh number. The results indicate that the Casson fluid parameter significantly influences the flow and heat transfer characteristics, while the Darcy number and Rayleigh number control the intensity of natural convection. Moreover, the Prandtl number determines the relative significance of heat transfer compared to viscous effects.
