Authors: Abe-Matsumoto Lucile , Della-Torre Jussara , Dias Nelson , Iglesia Viviane , Minazzi-Rodrigues Regina
Published: May 2021

Os suplementos à base de colágeno têm como indicações a prevenção do envelhecimento cutâneo e manutenção da saúde das articulações. Levando-se em consideração a grande oferta destes produtos no mercado, o trabalho teve como objetivos determinar os teores de proteína colagênica e de vitamina C e avaliar os dizeres de rotulagem em 16 amostras comerciais de produtos à base de colágeno hidrolisado com vitamina C, colhidos pelas Vigilâncias Sanitárias do Estado de São Paulo. O teor de vitamina C foi determinado por titulação iodométrica; as proteínas colagênicas foram calculadas com base no teor de hidroxiprolina utilizando-se o fator 8 para sua conversão e a análise de rotulagem foi realizada de acordo com as legislações brasileiras. A Resolução ANVISA RDC nº 360/2003 permite uma tolerância de 20% com relação aos valores de nutrientes declarados no rótulo. Considerando essa tolerância, todas as amostras apresentaram concentrações de vitamina C e proteínas colagênicas de acordo com os valores declarados. Em relação ao rótulo, todas as amostras apresentaram de uma a quatro informações em desacordo com a legislação. A principal não conformidade foi em relação ao uso de imagem ou expressões não autorizadas que podem induzir o consumidor a engano. O consumo de colágeno hidrolisado pela população tem sido cada vez maior em decorrência das evidências de seus benefícios para a saúde. Assim, torna-se indispensável o monitoramento contínuo para garantir que a população consuma produtos de qualidade, com teores de nutrientes compatíveis com os valores declarados no rótulo e com informações fidedignas sobre o produto.

Published: May 2021

O estudo de validação da vida de prateleira de produtos de carne suína congelada foi realizado com o produto denominado: carne congelada de suíno sem osso – recorte 50/50, que possui em sua composição, aproximadamente, 50% de carne suína e 50% de toucinho suíno, no período de 360 dias. As análises físico-químicas e microbiológicas foram realizadas pelo laboratório de análises de alimentos Lanali, localizado em Cascavel – PR. As análises físico-químicas realizadas nos primeiros 60 dias foram pH, Rancidez oxidativa, Umidade e voláteis, Coloração e Lipídios (pelo método de Sohxlet), a partir do terceiro mês a análise de coloração foi substituída por Índice de peróxido (devido à análise de coloração ser realizada apenas sensorialmente). As análises microbiológicas realizadas foram de Coliformes Termotolerantes, Salmonella spp. e Staphylococcus coagulase positiva. Durante os 360 dias de estocagem, as amostras sob congelamento mostraram-se adequadas ao consumo, não apresentando contaminação microbiológica. Também não houve a presença de rancidez oxidativa, a variação do pH se manteve dentro da conformidade, o índice de peróxido se manteve constante com valores <0,1 mEq/kg e os valores de umidade e voláteis e lipídios apresentaram conformidade diante da composição do produto.

Published: May 2021

Não há evidência científica que o SARS-CoV-2, vírus causador da Covid-19 é transmitido por alimentos. Apesar da baixa probabilidade da superfície do alimento e da embalagem serem veículos de contaminação, ações preventivas são recomendadas para reduzir a contaminação. Esse artigo visa realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as principais mudanças ocorridas no setor de alimentos com a pandemia de Covid-19 em 2020, com foco na segurança de alimentos, legislação e perspectivas futuras. Com a pandemia, as indústrias de alimentos e os serviços de alimentação intensificaram o foco na segurança de alimentos. Para minimizar a possibilidade de contaminação, os estabelecimentos tiveram que intensificar as Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) com destaque para o monitoramento da saúde dos colaboradores, capacitação, higiene pessoal e das superfícies, e o uso de EPIs, como máscara e protetor facial. As medidas de prevenção da Covid-19 foram estabelecidas para garantir a saúde e segurança dos colaboradores no local de trabalho, aumentar a segurança dos alimentos que são comercializados e atender os requerimentos dos consumidores que estão mais exigentes e informados. Durante a pandemia, ocorreram mudanças positivas na cultura de segurança de alimentos como o reforço na higiene pessoal, nas superfícies de trabalho e nos alimentos. Essas mudanças foram observadas tanto em estabelecimentos alimentícios como nos domicílios e devem permanecer no pós-pandemia, refletindo, provavelmente, na redução do número de doenças transmitidas por alimentos.

Alergias, hipersensibilidades, distúrbios no sistema digestório e dentre outras enfermidades são alguns dos malefícios que podem acometer o indivíduo que consome aditivos alimentares. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a presença de aditivos alimentares e seu aspecto toxicológico em bebidas prontas para o consumo de frutas tropicais em mercados de Macaé – RJ. Avaliou-se também a presença do Nº INS Codex de acordo com a RDC n° 45 de 2010. Além disso, analisou se os sites das referentes marcas apresentavam informações necessárias dos ingredientes utilizados em suas formulações. Em relação aos néctares estudados foi observado que 100% destes continham acidulantes em sua formulação; bem como a presença de 87,5% de aromatizantes; 86,66% de estabilizantes; 75,41% de antioxidantes; 42,08% de corantes; 37,5% de antiespumantes; 5% de conservantes. Para os sucos concentrados foram observados que 100% destes continham conservantes e acidulantes. Observou-se a presença de 67,61% de aromatizantes; 43,72% de estabilizantes; 41,31% de antioxidantes; 28,61% de corantes e 26,66% de antiespumantes. Dos néctares estudados 71% estavam em conformidade com o Nº INS Codex e nos sucos concentrados apenas 50% estavam em conformidade. Apenas 28% das marcas de néctares estudadas apresentavam informações de ingredientes utilizados em seus sites. Já nos sucos concentrados nenhuma apresentou informações de ingredientes em seus sites. Diante dos estudos analisados e da pesquisa como um todo, foi possível identificar uma gama de aditivos alimentares utilizados nas bebidas estudadas e que ainda há falta de cumprimento das indústrias perante legislação vigente, expondo a saúde do consumidor a reações indesejáveis.

O Múltiplo como Argumento Poético em Processos Criativos
Authors: Ladeira Marcillene
Published: May 2021

ResumoO texto circunstancia o recorte de uma fundamentação teórico-prática na qual a palavra-imagem múltiplo é instaurada como um dos argumentos poéticos empregado nas obras autorais da artista-pesquisadora Marcillene Ladeira. Como metodologia, utiliza-se o mergulho histórico, tendo, neste transcurso, a gravura como ponto de partida – pois a esta linguagem, conforme consenso à falta de pesquisadores, originalmente reserva tal conceituação –, bem como a investidura sobre estratégias contemporâneas de criação, enfatizando, especialmente, a imagem figurativa, artistas e obras. Sustenta-se que o múltiplo – entendido enquanto possibilidade de reprodução “numa espécie de linha de montagem” – permitiu estabelecer diálogos profícuos de pensamento. Em uma leitura de aproximação com a Pop, mas em envergadura diferenciada, as obras em discurso transitam do imaginário do consumo para o pós-consumo, cuja poética se sustenta por três conceitos operacionais: “liquidez”, “respeito a natureza” e “transitoriedade” enquanto seres viventes. As relações dialógicas estabelecidas no lugar da exposição também são evidenciadas como estratégia pessoal de produção e singularidade deste fazer, sobre a égide da interfase: múltiplo-lugar-poética.AbstractThe text provides a clip of a theoretical-practical foundation in which the multiple word-image has established as one of the poetic arguments used in the authorial works of the artist-researcher Marcillene Ladeira. By methodology, the historical diving is used, to take this course, the engrave as a starting point – because this language, according to a consensus with abundance of researchers, originally reserves this concept –, as well as the investiture on contemporary strategies of creation, emphasizing especially the figurative image, artists and works. It has maintained the multiple - understood as the possibility of reproduction "in an assembly line type" - allowed establishing a fruitful dialogue of thinking. In a reading of rapprochement with Pop, but in a different wingspan, the discourse works move from the imaginary of consumption to post-consumption, whose poetics is supported by three key operational concepts: “liquidity”, “respect for nature” and “transience” as living beings. The dialogical relations established in the place of the exhibition are also evidenced like a personal production strategy and singularity of this doing, under the aegis of the interphase: multiple-place-poetics.
Resenha do Livro “Audiovisualidades: elaborar com Foucault”

A obra, lançada em 2019, e de autoria de Nilton Milanez, parte dos postulados teórico-metodológicos presentes em “A Arqueologia do Saber” (2008), de Michel Foucault, para pensar as audiovisualidades e, por meio delas, compreender aquilo que somos, como nos organizamos e o que nos torna sujeitos no presente.
Subjetividade, verdade e poder: contribuições da obra “A Arqueologia do Saber” para os estudos da linguagem
Authors: Navarro Pedro , Neves Ivania Dos Santos
Published: May 2021

Os artigos deste dossiê, conjuntamente com os que compõem o primeiro volume, seguem a tarefa de mobilizar e de problematizar conceitos e noções desenvolvidos por Michel Foucault, em sua “A Arqueologia do Saber”, cuja publicação completou 50 anos, em 2019. Nestes dois volumes, com muito prazer, além de autores já reconhecidos em nossa área, reunimos significativos artigos de jovens pesquisadores da Amazônia e do Nordeste, que nos permitem compreender a dimensão nacional dos Estudos Discursivos Foucaultianos e traduzem o esforço empreendido nas últimas duas décadas em ampliar a pós-graduação em nosso país. Apesar dos retrocessos do momento atual, a pesquisa resiste, desponta e aponta para um futuro promissor.Os autores e as autoras dos artigos concentraram-se na tarefa de apresentar possibilidades de análise de fatos de discurso voltadas ao exercício do poder e à produção de verdades que fabricam sujeitos, objetos e saberes, ao mesmo tempo em que podem suscitar movimentos de resistência, mais ou menos visíveis, silenciosos ou mais barulhentos em nossa sociedade contemporânea. Alguns trabalhos estão mais voltados para questões que configuram um método de análise de discursos que pode ser depreendido das regras de formação discursiva, outros assentam-se em tal aporte para compreender a espessura material do poder.
“Depois a louca sou eu”: estratégias biopolíticas e produção de subjetividade em discursos sobre relacionamento abusivo
Authors: Vieira da Silva Francisco
Published: May 2021

O artigo discute as condições de possibilidade que fazem irromper discursos acerca do relacionamento abusivo na contemporaneidade, através do exame do funcionamento de estratégias biopolítica na produção de tais discursos e de como o sujeito que enuncia acerca do relacionamento abusivo se constitui numa relação consigo mesmo e com o outro. O referencial teórico reside nas investigações de Foucault acerca do discurso, enunciado, sujeito, poder, saber e biopolítica. Trata-se de um estudo de cunho descritivo-interpretativo, prioritariamente qualitativo. As condições de possibilidade responsáveis pela emergência de discursos sobre relacionamento abusivo relacionam-se às inflexões do movimento feminista na articulação com a cultura terapêutica materializada nas mídias digitais.  Assim, as mulheres, ao enunciarem sobre as relações abusivas, efetuam um trabalho sobre si e sobre o outro, de modo a fazer funcionar as estratégias bipolíticas em torno da saúde e bem-estar da mulher no âmbito dos relacionamentos amorosos.
Cartografias discursivas: O campo associado e o objeto na constituição do dispositivo
Authors: Franceschini Bruno , Fernandes Cleudemar Alves
Published: May 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir a produção de subjetividade do aluno hiperativo produzida na/pela linguagem, e problematizar os efeitos de verdade dos discursos sobre esse sujeito da educação. Para tanto, a discussão proposta está ancorada teórica e metodologicamente nos estudos de Michel Foucault e toma-se o conceito de dispositivo como norteador para a análise do objeto discursivo eleito. Em uma chave analítica arquegenealógica, discute-se como as instituições escolar e médica produzem discursos sobre quem é esse sujeito da educação, objeto de saberes e poderes que o caracterizam, respectivamente, como um sujeito indisciplinado e doente, que necessita de tratamento especializado, à margem da norma. Os resultados obtidos apontam a subjetivação do aluno hiperativo como um sujeito que necessita de atendimento educacional e médico especializado e confirma a hipótese de que um dispositivo se forma a partir da convergência do objeto e do campo associado para a produção de discursos.

Published: May 2021

Este artigo apresenta um panorama geral da mobilidade interdepartamental da população para e desde a Amazônia colombiana, segundo o censo de 2018. Busca-se identificar e ilustrar as diversas possibilidades de pesquisa em nível departamental, que os microdados desse censo oferecem; trata-se de introduzir o sistema de migração interna da Amazônia colombiana de tal forma que se possa avançar em estudos mais aprofundados que permitam explicar os diversos movimentos do sistema. Define-se migração interna como a mobilidade populacional entre diferentes departamentos do país. Tomando como critério o departamento de nascimento, os microdados permitem identificar o sistema da migração interna da Amazônia colombiana integrado por quatro componentes: 1) não migrantes, 2) imigração, 3) emigração, e 4) migração de retorno. Este estudo limita-se a identificar os espaços de movimento dos diversos componentes do sistema de migração interna da Amazônia colombiana. Trata-se, portanto, mais de identificar lugares que caracterizar pessoas.Palavras-chave: Colômbia. Amazônia Colombiana. Migração Interna. Migração Acumulada. Migração Recente. Migração de Retorno.

Medication adherence and persistence of psoriatic arthritis patients treated with biological therapy in a specialty pharmacy in Brazil: a prospective observational study
Authors: Souza Ana F. , Da Silva Michael R. , Dos Santos Jéssica B. , Almeida Alessandra M. , Acurcio Francisco A. , Alvares-Teodoro Juliana
Published: May 2021

Background: Pharmaceutical services in Brazil provide access, supply, and rational use of drugs for all population and an effort has been made to improve the quality of these services. Biological drugs are high-cost drugs supplied in Brazil that can inhibit disease progression and improve the quality of life of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. However, some patients did not achieve therapeutic goals.

Objective: To evaluate the medication adherence and persistence of PsA patients treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (anti-TNF) drugs and their associated factors.

Methods: A prospective observational study was performed at a single-specialty pharmacy in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Medication adherence, persistence, and clinical outcomes were evaluated at 12 months of follow-up. Medication persistence was historically compared to overall PsA patients treated in Brazil. Associated factors were identified through log-binomial regression.

Results: One hundred ninety-seven PsA patients were included in the study, of whom 147 (74.6%) and 142 (72.1%) had medication adherence and persistence, respectively. Patients treated with infliximab presented the highest adherence (90.5%) and persistence rate (95.2%) in comparison to patients treated with other drugs, except for adalimumab versus infliximab for adherence outcome. All clinical measures significantly improved in patients with medication adherence and persistence. Medication persistence was higher for patients attended by specialty pharmacy than other PsA patients in Brazil. The associated factors to higher medication adherence were lower disease activity by BASDAI, being non-white race, and intravenous drug use. The associated factors to higher medication persistence were lower disease activity by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Activity Index (BASDAI), intravenous drug use, non-use of corticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and comorbidity.

Conclusions: Patients with medication adherence and persistence had significant improvements in clinical measures, functionality, and quality of life. High medication adherence and persistence to biological therapy were observed and associated with lesser disease activity at baseline. Also, medication persistence to PsA patients attended in specialty pharmacy was higher than the overall PsA population in Brazil, which indicates the importance of pharmaceutical services to provide health care and promote the effectiveness and safety of biological therapies.

The main purpose of the study is to analyze the possibility of developing a tourist area through the development and implementation of an innovative product in the hospitality and ecological tourism industry. The article notes that over the past year, under the influence of the coronavirus pandemic and the introduction of restrictions on outbound tourism, especially international tourism, there is a high demand for domestic eco-tours and recreation in Russia, which contributes to the further development of the entire glamping industry in the country. It is also shown that the convenient location of the Saratov region in three natural and climatic zones, as well as such a powerful resource as the great Volga River, are a potential advantage for the construction of glamping in the region. As a result of the study, the proposed sites for the location of glamping were established, the main preferences of consumers of these tourist services in the region were determined. A description of the design development aimed at creating glamping in a specific territory of the Saratov region is presented. In conclusion, it is concluded that new forms of accommodation bring variety to the regional tourism product and contribute to improving the quality of service.

The concept «little man» in the present Russian cinema discourse
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Vavulina A.V.
Published: May 2021

The article deals with the peculiarities of the existence of the concept «little man», «a person of no importance» in modern Russian cultural space. The author selects two opposite tendencies in understanding the concept that have been outlined in modern art. One of the tendencies shows that the comprehension of the concept in literature, journalism is transferred to the psychological system of co-ordinates that is connected with leveling and oversimplifying national humanistic perception of concept. The other tendency shows that renascence of the concept has emerged in word usage that was set by Russian classic literature in the cinema discourse. This tendency is illustrated by examining A. Zvyagintsev’s films.
“Physiological” Essays by Faddei Bulgarin and Russian Natural School
Authors:   Head, Dept. of Classical Literature, Azbooka-Atticus Publishing Group, Stepanova Alla
Published: May 2021

The question of Bulgarinʼs contribution to the development of the genre of “physiological” essays has not been practically studied yet. To a large extent this is due to an acute conflict between Bulgarin and Russian Natural School, which regarded this genre as one of its basics. The article attempts to examine the specifics of Bulgarin’s work in the context of the sketches of 1840s (in particular, the works from the collection “Physiology of St. Petersburg”), as well as in the context of the newspaper and magazine polemics of that time.

Subjective grounds for expanding the powers of the President of the Russian Federation
Authors: Nitsevich Viсtor
Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to a little-studied side of authority, in particular the authorities of the President of Russia. Exploring the constitutional scope of power, we can say that the President of Russia has a sufficiently large amount of power, backed up by the legal provisions of the Constitution. However, in practice, it has turned out that not only their influence but the power of the President has a wider scope. First of all, the article notes the subjective grounds and mechanisms of power over the chairman of the government and the terms of his appointment. In this case, the key role is played by the political party United Russia, which was created by the President, although the President is outside the party system of Russia. A substantial expansion of the power of the President occurred as a result of the creation of federal districts and the formation of an institution of plenipotentiaries. The rationale is given that the change of legal norms for the election of governors, where the President plays the main role in nominating candidacy, and the procedure for registering them is entirely determined by the United Russia political party under his control, ultimately expanded the scope of authority of the President. In disclosing the subjective grounds for expanding the power of the President of the Russian Federation, so-called “approvals” of candidacy for various senior positions of state and municipal service, as well as of the security and control bodies play a part. The rating of the President was a massive subjective basis that allowed him to expand the scope of his power. The study of public confidence in the President allowed one to see the dependence of the expansion of his power on the level of his support by citizens of the Russian Federation.
The cybersecurity of Georgia and threats from Russia
Authors: Maisaia Vakhtang , Guchua Alika , Zedelashvili Thornike
Published: May 2021

The world is living in a state of constant psychological warfare, technological advances and development; in the 21st century Internet governance has become a puzzle for scientists and practitioners. Virtual warfare is an alternative to real warfare, one of the biggest threats to global security. In discussing the issue, we must consider the capabilities of the world’s leading countries, and first of all, identify the threat posed by Russia, which is the core of unpredictable aggression. This state is trying to influence almost the whole world with large-scale cyber-hacking attacks and continuous disinformation and fake news. Today it is difficult to find out where the theoretical war begins and where the practical military aggression ends, so new research, recommendations, scientific papers, and defence strategies are needed. Defensive mechanisms are created for cyber-attacks and this is always followed by more powerful attacks; that is why NATO enacted Article 5 of the Washington Treaty or the principle of “collective defence.” The article discusses Russia’s aggressive policy towards Georgia during and after the Russian-Georgian war in August 2008. The features of the Russian hybrid war and cyber attacks are discussed.

Proximal sensing of vineyard soil and canopy vegetation for determining vineyard spatial variability in plant physiology and berry chemistry
Authors: Yu Runze , Brillante Luca , Torres Nazareth , Kurtural Sahap Kaan
Published: May 2021

Proximal sensing is used in vineyards to precisely monitor and manage spatial and temporal variability while reducing laborious and repetitive measurements. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) and canopy vegetation indexes are two frequently assessed variables with off-the-shelf sensors. In this study, the ecophysiological variability of a commercial vineyard comprising three varieties in three blocks, Cabernet-Sauvignon (CS), Cabernet franc (CF), and Petit Verdot (PV), was investigated. Random sampling was used to continuously assess spatial variability in plant physiology and berry composition. Soil EC and NDVI were also continuously monitored throughout the season. There was a noticeable spatial pattern in the normalised differential vegetation index (NDVI) in the vineyard and soil EC. The spatial pattern of NDVI can be partially elucidated by the season-long stem water potential (Ψstem), which was lowest in the CS block. However, leaf photosynthesis did not match this spatial pattern. The spatial distribution of NDVI and soil EC did not satisfactorily explain the spatial variations in yield components and berry chemistry. Principal component analyses (PCA) were performed resulting in a clear discrimination of each of the three cultivars. Soil EC showed a significant relationship with Ψstem integrals, total skin anthocyanins and tri- to di-hydroxylated flavonoids. In each cultivar block, soil EC showed some capability to be related to plant water status, and NDVI showed a relationship with yield. Overall, this study provided evidence of the spatial variability of grapevine physiology in a commercial vineyard with three cultivars. Also, it showed that the cultivar effect and uniform crop level management can diminish the efficiency of proximal sensing, thus weakening the relationship of soil and canopy indexes with plant physiology and berry chemistry. Nonetheless, our study showed that it is possible to apply temporal proximal sensing methods when assessing plant water status, primary metabolism, yield and berry secondary metabolism, which give an indication of the possibility of managing the spatial variability of both plant physiology and berry chemistry.
Short Note on Comparing Stacking Modelling Versus Cannistraci-Hebb Adaptive Network Automata for Link Prediction in Complex Networks
Authors: Muscoloni Alessandro , Cannistraci Carlo Vittorio
Published: May 2021

Link prediction is an iconic problem in complex networks because deals with the ability to predict nonobserved existing or future parts of the network structure. The impact of this prediction on real applications can be disruptive: from prediction of covert links between terrorists in their social networks to repositioning of drugs in molecular diseasome networks. Here we compare: (1) an ensemble meta-learning method (Ghasemian et al.), which uses an artificial intelligence (AI) stacking strategy to create a single meta-model from hundreds of other models; (2) a structural predictability method (SPM, Lü et al.), which relies on a theory derived from quantum mechanics and does not assume any model; (3) a modelling rule named Cannistraci-Hebb (CH, Muscoloni et al.), which relies on one brain-bioinspired model adapting to the intrinsic network structure.We conclude that brute-force stacking of algorithms by AI does not perform better than (and is often significantly outperformed by) SPM and one simple brain-bioinspired rule such as CH. This agrees with the Gödel incompleteness: stacking is optimal but incomplete, you cannot squeeze out more than what is already in your features. Hence, we should also pursue AI that resembles human-like physical ‘understanding’ of simple generalized rules associated to complexity. The future might be populated by AI that ‘steals for us the fire from Gods’, towards machine intelligence that creates new rules rather than stacking the ones already known.

In accordance with the new social order required by the new type corona virus, several areas such as education, health, culture and transportation continue to transform with the social policies followed by states. The states, where the virus has spread and affected the whole world, make new regulations in the context of social policy and develop new models. In this case, it is seen that a link is established between politics and biological life. Depending on biological processes, governments focus on the needs of the era and social life. Thus, it is observed that a "bio-political" transformation is under construction. After the Covid 19 pandemic, all governments have imposed new social regulations so that they can implement education policies as an effective social government policy. In this regard, the statements that it would be the right decision to interrupt face-to-face education for a while in educational institutions came to the fore. In addition, the necessity of taking social measures in order not to keep students away from education and to ensure the continuity of education was also among the issues emphasized. From this point of view, the aim of the study is to evaluate and interpret the requests submitted by university students studying in our country during the Covid 19 pandemic to the hotline established by the TRNC Higher Education and Foreign Relations Office (YÖDİD). The study was carried out with a qualitative method and uses a case study design. Hotline reports were used as data collection tools. Findings obtained were interpreted by descriptive analysis. Requests between 07 April - 17 May 2020 have been included in the research. Support requests focused on issues such as return to the country, food, online education problems, payment problems and scholarship.

Published: May 2021

Here we present a new software-tool for visualizing fragment ions and sequence coverage of intact proteins in top-down mass spectrometry. TDFragMapper combines the data arising from multiple and diverse tandem mass spectrometry experiments of intact proteins. Our tool maps fragment ions onto the protein backbone sequence and allows for a rapid comparison of the results obtained when varying experimental parameters in tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments of intact proteins: fragmentation method, selected precursor charge state, activation level, technical replicate. In summary, TDFragMapper is a unique software-tool that allows an easy selection of the best experimental conditions leading to the highest confidence in intact protein sequence identification.
Pregnancy outcomes among women with thyrotoxicosis a retrospective cohort study

Published: May 2021

Objective: To compare adverse outcomes between: 1) pregnant women with thyrotoxicosis and low risk pregnancies, 2) pregnant women with thyrotoxicosis requiring no anti-thyroid drug (ATD) and low risk pregnancies, and 3) those treated with methimazole (MMI) and propylthiouracil (PTU)Methods: The medical records of singleton pregnancies with thyrotoxicosis were comprehensively reviewed. Low-risk pregnancies matched for age and parity were randomly recruited as controls. The obstetric outcomes were compared between both groups, and the outcomes of various subgroups of the study group were also compared.Results: A total of 408 pregnant women with thyrotoxicosis were recruited. Compared with the controls, the women of the study group had significantly higher rates of low birth weight (LBW) (23.7% vs 17.7%; p:0.036), preterm birth (19.3% vs 12.3%; p:0.007), preeclampsia (8.5% vs 4.4%; p: 0.019) and cesarean section (21.5% vs 16.0%; p:0.046). In the study group (thyrotoxicosis), 67, 127, and 158 patients were treated with MMI, PTU and no anti-thyroid drug (ATD), respectively. All obstetric outcomes were comparable between the women treated with PTU and those with MMI, and between the controlled and uncontrolled groups. However, women who needed ATD had significantly higher rates of LBW and preterm birth than those without medications.Conclusions: Thyrotoxicosis, whether treated or not needing ATDs, was significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Also, active disease, indicated by the need for ATD significantly increased the risk of such adverse outcomes, whereas the patients treated with MMI or PTU had comparable adverse outcomes.

BackgroundAtlantic salmon are a fish species of major economic importance. Innovative strategies are being sought to improve salmon feeds and feed additives to enhance fish performance, welfare, and the environmental sustainability of the aquaculture industry. There is still a lack of knowledge surrounding the importance and functionality of the salmon gut microbiome in fish nutrition. In vitro gut model systems might prove a valuable tool to study the effect of feed, and additives, on the host’s microbial communities. Several in vitro gut models targeted at monogastric vertebrates are now in operation. Here, we report the development of an Atlantic salmon gut model, SalmoSim, to simulate three gut compartments (stomach, pyloric caecum and midgut) and associated microbial communities. ResultsThe gut model was established in a series of linked bioreactors seeded with biological material derived from farmed adult marine phase salmon. We first aimed to achieve a stable microbiome composition representative of founding microbial communities derived from Atlantic salmon. Then, in biological triplicate, the response of the in vitro system to two distinct dietary formulations (fish meal and fish meal free) was compared to a parallel in vivo trial over forty days. Metabarcoding based 16S rDNA sequencing, qPCR, ammoniacal nitrogen and volatile fatty acid measurements were undertaken to survey the microbial community dynamics and function. SalmoSim microbiomes were indistinguishable (p=0.230) from their founding inocula at 20 days and the most abundant genera (e.g. Psycrobacter, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas) proliferated within SalmoSim (OTUs accounting for 98% of all reads shared with founding communities). Real salmon and SalmoSim responded similarly to the introduction of novel feed, with majority of the taxa (96% Salmon, 97% SalmoSim) unaffected, while a subset of taxa (e.g. a small fraction of Psychrobacter) were differentially affected across both systems. Consistent with a low impact of the novel feed on microbial fermentative activity, volatile fatty acids profiles were not significantly different in SalmoSim pre- and post-feed switch.ConclusionBy establishing stable and representative salmon gut communities, this study represents an important step in the development of an in vitro gut system as a tool for the improvement of salmon nutrition and welfare. This system aims to be utilised as a pre-screening tool for new feed ingredients and additives, as well as being used to study antimicrobial resistance and transfer, and fundamental ecological processes that underpin microbiome dynamics and assembly.
