O uso da antibioticoterapia em animais, na maioria das vezes, ocorre de maneira desorientada, o que colabora para o aumento da resistência microbiana. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a prevalência de bactérias multirresistentes na cavidade nasal de equinos assintomáticos para doenças respiratórias. Foram coletadas amostras de swab nasal de 50 equinos assintomáticos para doenças respiratórias. As amostras foram semeadas em placas de Petri contendo ágar sangue e ágar MacConkey, incubadas em aerobiose e microaerofilia a 37ºC por 48 horas. As culturas puras foram submetidas à identificação segundo as características morfocoloniais, morfotintoriais e bioquímico-fisiológicas convencionais. Também foi realizada a verificação da susceptibilidade antimicrobiana in vitro e em seguida calculado o índice de resistência múltipla. Das amostras analisadas foram isolados Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus coagulase negativa, Streptococcus spp, Micrococcus spp, Enterobacter spp e Escherichia coli. O gênero Staphylococcus e Streptococcus demonstraram resistência total e intermediária a praticamente todos os antibióticos testados; o gênero Enterobacter aos β-lactâmicos, cefalosporinas, monobactam, quinolonas, anfenicóis, sulfozamidas, e aminoglicosídeos (amicacina e tobramicina); e E. coli aos β-lactâmicos, algumas cefalosporinas, monobactam, quinolonas, aminoglicosídeos, anfenicóis, sulfozamidas e tetraciclina. Todas as cepas analisadas apresentaram multirresistência. Conclui-se que equinos hígidos sem alteração respiratória, possuem microrganismos com potencial patogênico em suas fossas nasais. Além disso, o alto índice de resistência microbiana é preocupante e serve de alerta para o possível uso indiscriminado de antibióticos, o qual pode afetar a saúde animal e dos seres humanos.
Self-management in older adults with chronic illness: Do illness representations play a regulatory role?
Authors: Aberkane Salah 
Published: December 2020

Background. A greater number of older adults now live with chronic illness. This poses a significant public health problem, because older adults are at high risk for chronic illness -related mortality and morbidity. Methods. In the project on older adult self care in chronic illness, we administered nine subscales (Illness Consequences, Illness Coherence, Illness Timelineâ€”Cyclical, Personal Control, Treatment Control, Illness Representations, Illness Identity, and Causal Attributions) of the Illness Perception Questionnaireâ€” Revised (IPQ-R). Multivariable linear regression analyses explored the associations between illness perception, wellness-focused coping, and illness-focused coping as measured by CPCI42. Results. Among the 76 respondents (39.47% women; mean age, 64.53Â±6.93 years), in multivariable regression models, either illness perception variables or coping strategies variables were associated with chronic illness. Higher scores on causal attributions were associated with coping strategies chosen scores. Higher scores on the causal attributions (Î² = 0.63), Illness Coherence (Î² = -0.50), illness representations(Î² = 0.66) and Personal Control scales(Î² = -0.53) were associated with several scores of coping strategies chosen by chronically ill older persons. Conclusion. Older adults with chronic illness report a high understanding of their disease, feel that chronic illness has significant illness representations consequences, and endorse both illness coherence and personal control over their coping strategies. Illness perceptions did not vary with increased age or worsening disease severity, suggesting that illness perceptions may develop during aging. The self-regulatory model may provide a useful guide for the development of effective interventions tailored to older adults.

Authors: Ozden Melis Seray , Deniz Derya 
Published: December 2020

Stigmatization is based on negative beliefs and prejudices that starts with labeling and ends with discrimination and exclusion. In most of the researches stigma tendency was associated with illnesses and disabilities but it can be experienced at any time in life. Stigma tendency of people can be related with psychological properties. On this basis the aim of this study is to determine the predictive role of psychological well-being and social safeness and pleasure on tendency of psychological stigma. The research group was conducted by 200 adults. Data was collected with Demographical Information Form, Stigma Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale. The findings indicated that psychological well-being had a significant predictive role on tendency of psychological stigma but social safeness and pleasure didn't predict stigma tendency. The findings of the research were discussed with regard to relevant literature and suggestions were offered regarding the findings of the study.

Abstract
Aim: To measure the pulpal blood flow (PBF) of the upper incisors using the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and to calculate the endodontic vitality clinical reference range using PBF as an indicator in the healthy children. To clarify the factors that might interfere the detection and interpretation of the results. Methods: Seven to twelve-year-old school-age children were recruited randomly. The basic characteristics of the subjects are described in terms of age and gender. The mean, standard deviation, and reference range of the subjects’ PBF values are described based on their age, sex, and tooth position. Multi-factor analysis of variance was implemented, mainly including age, gender, and tooth position. Results: 1) The clinical reference range of the anterior teeth PBF in children of different ages was preliminary defined that was approximately among the range of 7-14. 2). A statistically significant correlation between PBF and age in school-aged children (P < 0.05) was detected and no statistical significance between genders (P > 0.05) was detected. The PBF detection value of lateral incisors was higher than that of central incisors, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The determination of the range of clinical reference of anterior teeth PBF in children by LDF could provide a good theoretical basis and reference basis for further promotion of its application.
Synthetic Observational Health Data with GANs: from slow adoption to a boom in medical research and ultimately digital twins?
Authors: Geogres-Filteau Jeremy , Cirillo Elisa 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
After being collected for patient care, Observational Health Data (OHD) can further benefit patient well-being by sustaining the development of health informatics and medical research. Vast potential is unexploited because of the fiercely private nature of patient-related data and regulations to protect it.Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have recently emerged as a groundbreaking way to learn generative models that produce realistic synthetic data. They have revolutionized practices in multiple domains such as self-driving cars, fraud detection, digital twin simulations in industrial sectors, and medical imaging.The digital twin concept could readily apply to modelling and quantifying disease progression. In addition, GANs posses many capabilities relevant to common problems in healthcare: lack of data, class imbalance, rare diseases, and preserving privacy. Unlocking open access to privacy-preserving OHD could be transformative for scientific research. In the midst of COVID-19, the healthcare system is facing unprecedented challenges, many of which of are data related for the reasons stated above.Considering these facts, publications concerning GAN applied to OHD seemed to be severely lacking. To uncover the reasons for this slow adoption, we broadly reviewed the published literature on the subject. Our findings show that the properties of OHD were initially challenging for the existing GAN algorithms (unlike medical imaging, for which state-of-the-art model were directly transferable) and the evaluation synthetic data lacked clear metrics.We find more publications on the subject than expected, starting slowly in 2017, and since then at an increasing rate. The difficulties of OHD remain, and we discuss issues relating to evaluation, consistency, benchmarking, data modelling, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are responsible for high-level cognitive functions. Comparing to sensory and motor cortices, however, the connectivity organization of PFC is far more complex and still poorly understood. Here we report that whole-brain reconstruction of complete axonal morphologies of over 6,000 projection neurons in mouse PFC revealed fine-grained topographic relationship between the soma locations in PFC and their projection patterns before and after arriving the cortical and subcortical target regions. We first mapped the long-range projections of intratelencephalic (IT), pyramidal tract (PT), and corticothalamic (CT) neurons, and found that each class of these neurons can be further categorized into target-based subclasses, with somata of each subclass preferentially located at different PFC domains. Furthermore, the distribution of individual axon projections within each target region exhibited subregion preference, with their somata located in specific PFC subdomains. Mapping of single axons revealed a topographic order of primary axons within IT, PT, and CT fiber tracts that preserved the topography of their soma locations within PFC, and a spatial order of collateral branching points that yielded ordered clusters of collaterals aiming at specific targets. Within the target regions, we further observed subregion-specific arbor distribution that depended on the soma location. Such arbor distribution analysis of cortico-cortical PFC axons unveiled asymmetric terminal connectivity in PFC network. Our results demonstrate how large-scale single-neuron projectome analysis can provide new insights into the structural principle within the brain.

Abstract
Development of rice varieties suited to varying drought stress level, and crop stages, relies mainly on identifying new genetic resources and genomic targets to improve whole plant physiological processes and productivity. This study with 99 rice germplasm adapted to Southwestern Indian peninsular region genotyped with 100 SSR markers evaluated over five different seasons/field trials to characterize plant physiological, root traits and yield related traits under different intensity and crop stage experienced water limitation. Traits like chlorophyll stability index, leaf rolling, days to 50% flowering, chlorophyll content, root volume and root biomass were identified as best predictors of grain yield under stress. Genome-Wide Association Study revealed genetic variation and genomic targets underlying major QTLs for different physiological, root and plant production traits. Combined analysis with trials 1-4 revealed 14 genomic regions governing multiple traits that contribute to plant performance and productivity under water stress. Genetic characterization of nine selected landraces and two elite cultivars using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) revealed haplotype variation within genomic targets on chromosome 1, 4, 6 and 11 for potential use as molecular markers. The genetic and genomic resources identified will enable combining traits with agronomic value to optimize yield under stress and hasten trait introgression into elite cultivars.

Abstract
Background: Bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction are among common complications in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). These complications could affect the quality of life. The goal of this study is to assess bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction and quality of life in married women with MS. Methods: One hundred and twenty-seven married women with MS were enrolled. They fill the valid and reliable Persian version of the Female sexual function index (FSFI), SF-36, Bladder Control Scale (BLCS), and The Bowel Control Scale (BWCS). Results: Mean age and disease duration were 38±7.9 and 8.4±6.5 years, respectively. There was significant negative correlation between SF-36 and BWCS (r=-0.25, p=0.001) and BLCS (r=-0.36, p=0.001) and significant positive correlation between FSFI and SF-36(r=0.27, p=0.004). There was a significant negative correlation between age and total FSFI (r=-0.34, p<0.001) and also between EDSS and FSFI (r=-0.21, p=0.01). By considering 26.55 as the cut-off point of FSFI, we found that women with sexual dysfunction had a more impaired quality of life and more bowel control problems. Linear regression analysis showed that EDSS and BLCS are independent predictors of SF-36. Conclusion: Bowel/bladder and sexual dysfunction have negative impacts on the quality of life in women with multiple sclerosis.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The energy from renewable sources had always been perceived as free or at least lower cost energy, with its sourcing from natural sources such as solar radiation and wind energy. In actual the cost breakdown of renewable energy would exceed that of traditional energy sources in almost all cases. This study attempts to produce a cost model for renewable energy systems. The model takes into account different requirements and site variations into account. In this paper; elements of cost model Renewable Energy System (RES) especially photo-voltaic solar systems has been investigated. Cost items are presented alongside a to-do checklist for new Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar energy system. The goal of this study is to construct a model that would cover the cost sources as well as bring into attention the unexpected sources of cost variations that includes all possible cost items of new solar renewable energy system. The feasibility of the new system is expressed in terms of Total Cost (T.C) and Cost of Energy (COE). The model can evaluate feasibility of off-grid as well as on-grid systems. The model investigated properly as well as an empirical analysis and verified through results comparison with reviewed case studies. The results revealed that cost of off-grid systems are higher than cost of on-grid systems due to cost of batteries as well as cost of standby generators. So, it would be more feasible to use off-grid system only in remote or isolated area. Risk Cost lists, ranking and successful factors of new renewable project are exhibited.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Objective：The purpose of this study was to prove that knee function is well recovered using gap balancing technique with patient-specific instrumentation（PSI）combined a new balancer device in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with the measured resection technique.Materials and methods：Data of 152 patients received TKA from August 2014 to June 2016 were studied retrospectively. Gap balancing technique assisted by PSI combined a new balance device was used in 80 patients (82 knees) and the measured resection technique was used in the surgery in 70 patients (70 knees). The data of surgery, imaging and knee function were compared. Results：The gap balancing technique assisted by PSI and a new balancer device was feasible in all operated knees and found to be reliable. In total, 152 patients (150 knees) with ages ranging from 52 to 78 years (mean 67 years) underwent TKA during the study period. The follow-up ranged from 35 to 52 months (mean 45 months). Only one patient underwent revision surgery in gap balance group at 2 years postoperatively due to infection. There was no difference in the incidence of anterior knee pain between the two groups. 2 patients received or required revisions. Until the latest follow-up, the mean flexion degree、KSS scores、VAS scores were not significantly different between the measured resection group and gap-balancing group at 12 weeks and 36 weeks. The average joint line displacement in GB group was 1.3 ± 1.1 mm (range 0-3) proximal and 1.2±1.4 mm in MR group. No outliers＞5 mm in each group were recorded. The mean leg axis was 1.8°±1.5°varus (range 0°-3°varus) versus the neutral mechanical axis in GB group and 1.4°±1.2°(range 0°-3°)in MR group. No outliers with＞ 3° deviation in each group were recorded.Conclusions：The gap balancing technique assisted by the new balancer device and PSI can be used to achieve accurate femoral component alignment as well as measured resection in 3 years outcomes. The new balancer device can be taken into account by surgeons who prefer the gap-balancing technique together with the PSI.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: Currently, the surgical technique and design of surgical instruments for lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in treating lateral knee compartment-specific anatomical structures cannot be replicated. Moreover, few articles have reported on the surgical techniques and clinical effects.These have caused most joint surgeons to dare not to carry out this operationinChina.Here, we report on how we perform this procedure in a replicable manner using redesigned tools, and evaluate subsequent American Knee Society scores, range of motion (ROM), and revision rates.Methods: In this retrospective review (January 2014 through January 2016) we identified 158 patients (35 males and 123 females) who had 160 lateral unicompartmental arthroplasties with a minimum of 36 months follow-up (mean 54, range 36–60 months). The initial symptoms of painful osteoarthritis or osteonecrosis were localized to the lateral compartment. The standard of X-slices is mainly limited to the lateral compartment (Ahlbäck grade II OA or worse) while the articular cartilage of the medial compartment shows no obvious clinical or imaging signs of wear. Any valgus deformity must be correctable to reduce varus stress, and any form of inflammatory arthritis is an absolute contra-indication for lateral UKA.Results: At follow-up, American Knee Society scores (0–100 points) averaged 47.3 ± 1.5 for pain, 97.0 ± 1.7 for clinical outcome, and 97.1 ± 4.1 for function, and ROM averaged 125.5 ± 5.3°. None of the patients had reoperations or revisions.Conclusion: These standard surgical techniques and tools are useful to beginners because they can effectively avoid impingement of the femur against the tibial spine eminences and provide good results.

Abstract
Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne infection that has recently emerged. It is important to compare the clinical features and prognosis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome transmitted from tick-to-person versus person-to-person.Methods: A retrospective analysis of the confirmed cases of SFTS from 2015 to 2020 in southern Anhui was performed according to the different transmission routes. The cases were divided into a tick-to-person transmission infection group (37 cases) and a person-to-person transmission infection group (12 cases). Results: SFTS incidence was concentrated in April-June.The median time from onset to treatment was 2.5 days in the person-to-person transmission infection group and 5.0 days in the tick-to-person transmission infection group (P<0.05). The proportion of consciousness disorders in the tick-to-person transmission infection group was 43.24% (16/37), which was higher than that in the person-to-person transmission infection group. The number of critical patients in the person-to-person transmission group was 16.67% (2/12), which was significantly lower than that in the tick-to-person transmission infection group, 91.89% (34/37). The number of deaths in the tick-to-person transmission infection group was 29.73% (11/37), but there were no deaths in the person-to-person transmission infection group.Conclusions: The tick-to-person transmission infection group is more serious, and the risk of poor prognosis is higher in this group. Therefore, we should scientifically formulate prevention and control strategies and treatment plans for patients with tick infections.
