Background and Purpose: The potential for the invasion of the central nervous system by Cryptococcus species is underscored by the presence of this organism in the blood of immunocompromised individuals. Early adoption of sensitive methods for the diagnosis of Cryptococcus species will reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Regarding this, the aim of the present research was to detect cryptococcal antigen among HIV1- infected individuals in north-central Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on HIV-1 infected individuals accessing care at three health facilities in north-central Nigeria between November 2014 and March 2017. For the purpose of the study, blood samples were collected from 300 HIV1-infected individuals within the age group of 3-65 years. The CD4+ T-cell count was determined, and the samples were analyzed for cryptococcal antigenemia using the methods of lateral flow assay (LFA) and culture technique.
Results: Cryptococcus antigen was detected in 19.67% (59/300) of the patients, and only 25.4% (15/59) of the LFA-positive samples showed Cryptococcus species growth on Sabouraud dextrose agar after 3 days. Furthermore, fungal growth was observed in one of the specimens, which was LFA negative. Additionally, 30 of the 59 LFA-positive patients had cryptococcal antigen in their serum with a CD4+ T-cell count of < 150 cells/mm3.
Conclusion: As the findings of the present study indicated, infection with Cryptococcus species is a problem among HIV-infected patients in the region under study. Therefore, all HIV patients, especially those with a CD4+ T-cell count of < 150 cells/mm3, referring to the HAART clinics in Nigeria, should be screened for cryptococcal antigen.

Heart Sounds are important things in the human body that can deliver information related to the heart condition. However, a recorded signal such as PCG and ECG that getting through Audicor still contain unexpected components or noise while the recording process happens it makes the result data from Audicor cannot directly use to recognize the condition of the heart. This research presents signal processing and data analysis to suppress the noise of the heart sounds that getting while the process of recording data happens. The cleaned heart sound will be processed in feature extraction by using FFT and PCA that capable to produce the feature both of the normal and abnormal heart sounds. For the normal case, we get the data from some healthy volunteers recorded by using Audicor. While the abnormal heart sound we focus to observe the data that contain Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) that getting from a partner hospital. As a result, feature both normal and abnormal heart sounds can be separated.

Single Cell Glucose Uptake Assays: A Cautionary Tale
Authors: Sinclair Linda V. , Barthelemy Celine , Cantrell Doreen A. 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Assays to monitor the metabolic state or nutrient uptake capacity of immune cells at a single cell level are increasingly in demand. One assay, used by many immunologists, employs 2-(N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)Amino)-2-Deoxyglucose (2-NBDG), a fluorescent analogue of 2-deoxyglucose (2DG), as a substrate for glucose transporters. This molecule has been validated as a substrate for the glucose transporter Glut2 (Slc2a2) in mammalian cells but 2-NDBG selectivity for the glucose transporters expressed by T cells, Glut1 (Slc2a1) and Glut3 (Slc2a3), has never been explored. Nor has the possibility that 2-NBDG might bind to T cells that do not express glucose transporters been assessed. In this technical commentary we interrogate the specificity of 2-NBBG labelling as a readout for glucose transport in T lymphocytes. We compare flow cytometric 2-NBDG staining against well validated radiolabelled glucose transport assays in murine T cells. Our data show there can be a large discordance between glucose transport capacity and 2-NBDG labelling in T cells. We also find that 2-NBDG uptake into murine T cells is not inhibited by competitive substrates or facilitative glucose transporter inhibitors, nor can 2-NBDG competitively block glucose uptake in T cells. Collectively, these data argue that 2-NBDG uptake alone is not a reliable tool for the assessment of cellular glucose transport capacity.

Published: August 2020

Case:
A 32-year-old male right-hand dominant school-bus driver with facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) was referred to an upper limb specialist for consideration for scapulothoracic fusion (STF) because of limited upper limb function and cosmetic issues. Staged bilateral STFs were performed with seven high-strength suture tapes tensioned to secure a standard tubular plate in situ.

Conclusion:
STF may be a desirable treatment option for patients with FSHD. The use of high-strength suture tapes in cases of STF allows for secure fixation of the scapulothoracic joint. This potentially confers a reduction in operative time while ensuring adequate tensioned fixation and minimizing the risk of iatrogenic pneumothorax.

Authors: Demeshko V. S. , Фёдоров A. I. 
Published: August 2020

The article proposes the structure of an integrated security system for areal facilities. The main subsystems included in its composition are considered. The tasks of the intelligence subsystem for detecting and recognizing ground-based objects of observation in a complex phono-target environment are defined.The task of detecting an object of observation was solved on the basis of a previously proposed algorithm. The disadvantage of this algorithm was the presence of false positives from a flickering complex phono-target environment. To eliminate this drawback, it is proposed to apply a classifier based on the convolutional neural network, which distributes the selected objects to specific classes.The analysis and experimental studies to evaluate the accuracy of recognition of ground objects by convolutional architectures such as VGG-16, VGG-19, Inception v3, ResNet-50, MobileNet. Training and verification of the recognition quality of architecture data was carried out on an experimentally created data set with a human image on a contrasting background and at different ranges. The results obtained indicate the possibility of using a convolutional neural network in the security system and its ability to work in real time.
