Authors: Lifshitz Liran , Bar Sela Shlomo , Gal Noga , Martin RobRoy , Fleitman Klar Michal 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe iliopsoas is a deep muscle group which anatomically connects the spine to the lower limbs. It is composed of the iliacus, psoas major, and psoas minor muscles. The iliopsoas functions as the primary hip flexor. Because the iliopsoas is important for daily activities, including sports, impairments and pathology associated with this muscle group can cause significant limitations. Evaluating pathology associated with the iliopsoas muscle group can be challenging because the patient's complaints are often vague and difficult to discern from other hip problems. This article will review relevant anatomy, discuss common pathologies, present clinical based examination methods, and outline conservative treatment interventions focusing on manual therapy and active exercises.

Published: June 2020

It is critical to ensure that COVID-19 studies provide clear and timely answers to the scientific questions that will guide us to scalable solutions for all global regions. Significant challenges in operationalizing trials include public policies for managing the pandemic, public health and clinical capacity, travel and migration, and availability of tests and infrastructure. These factors lead to spikes and troughs in patient count by location, disrupting the ability to predict when or if a trial will reach recruitment goals. The focus must also be on understanding how to provide equitable access to these interventions ensuring that interventions reach those who need them the most, be it patients in low resource settings or vulnerable groups. We introduce a website to be used by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust, and other funders of the COVID Therapeutics Accelerator that accept proposals for future clinical research. The portal enables evaluations of clinical study applications that focus on study qualities most likely to lead to informative outcomes and completed studies.

Abstract. Maryanto SD, Tanjung ZA, Sudania WM, Kusnandar AS, Roberdi, Pujianto, Utomo C, Liwang T. 2020. Short Communication: Polymorphism of Fumarate Hydratase 1 (FUM1) gene associated with nitrogen uptake in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Biodiversitas 21: 2462-2466. Nitrogen (N) is an essential element for oil palm vegetative growth and fruit development. Fumarase is known to participate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in the mitochondrial matrix. The FUM gene is required for fumarate accumulation in leaves and necessary to enhance growth under low nitrogen condition. SNPs were obtained in oil palm FUM1 gene based on in silico analysis using local database. The SNP is further verified with Sanger sequencing and qPCR analysis. The genomic DNA of oil palm with high and low efficient to N based on phenotype characters was sequenced using Sanger method. The EgFUM1 gene was located in chromosome 14 and had two SNP positions located in 9.0711 cM and 9.0714 cM. Furthermore, four months oil palm seedlings from three progenies were treated with 30% (N-low) and 100% (control) dosages. Transcription level of EgFUM1 gene was measured using Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) method. The value of fold changes was significantly up-regulated (6.14-fold) on Progeny 1 (high efficient characters); 1.05-fold on Progeny 2 (medium efficient characters); and 1.08-fold on Progeny 3 (low moderate efficient characters) in the leaf. According the result, there was correlation between SNP and transcription level of EgFUM1 gene. Therefore SNP markers of EgFUM1 gene could be used in oil palm selection with potential N uptake efficiency.

Abstract. Makajanma MM, Taufik I, Faizal A. 2020. Antioxidant and antibacterial activity of extract from two species of mosses: Leucobryum aduncum and Campylopus schmidii. Biodiversitas 21: 1751-1758. Plants produce a plethora of natural compounds of medicinal value. Although most plant-derived drugs have been identified in angiosperms, some species of mosses from the genera Leucobryum and Campylopus also exhibit antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The research aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of two species of these genera, Leucobryum aduncum and Campylopus schmidii, that are common in Taman Wisata Alam Gunung Tangkuban Perahu, West Java. Plants were collected, dried, and extracted in n-hexane or methanol. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by determining the concentration of extract that resulted in 50% reduction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) in the DPPH assay. These concentrations were >2000 mg/L for L. aduncum extracts and 1329.02 ± 7.8 mg/L for C. schmidii extracts; these large values are consistent with little antioxidant activity. Antibacterial activity was quantified as the ability of the extracts to inhibit the growth of the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Nonpolar extracts of L. aduncum inhibited the growth of E. coli >50% at a concentration of 32 mg extract/L. Based on combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the antibacterial activity in the non-polar extracts of L. aduncum was attributed to the lipophilic compounds 1-nonadecene, 5-eicosene, and cyclotetracosane. Thus, L. aduncum is a promising candidate as a source of new antibiotics.

Published: June 2020

Whole-slide imaging systems can generate full-color image data of
tissue slides efficiently, which are needed for digital pathology applications.
This paper focuses on a scanner architecture that is based on a
multi-line image sensor that is tilted with respect to the optical
axis, such that every line of the sensor scans the tissue slide at a
different focus level. This scanner platform is designed for imaging
with continuous autofocus and inherent color registration at a
throughput of the order of 400 MPx/s. Here, single-scan multi-focal
whole-slide imaging, enabled by this platform, is explored. In
particular, two computational imaging modalities based on multi-focal
image data are studied. First, 3D imaging of thick absorption stained
slides (

deconvolution to ameliorate the inherently weak contrast in
thick-tissue imaging. Second, quantitative phase tomography is
demonstrated on unstained tissue slides and on fluorescently stained
slides, revealing morphological features complementary to features
made visible with conventional absorption or fluorescence stains. For
both computational approaches simplified algorithms are proposed,
targeted for straightforward parallel processing implementation at

Vectorial physical-optics modeling of Fourier microscopy systems in nanooptics
Authors: Shi Rui , Janunts Norik , Hellmann Christian , Wyrowski Frank 
Published: June 2020

Fourier microscopy, which makes direct observation of the angular distribution possible, is widely used in the nanooptics community. The theory of such systems is typically based on ideal lenses. However, the real lenses in the typical complex lens systems have an impact on the image quality in the experiment. Therefore, it is desirable to have a model of the entire system, which is capable of predicting such phenomena, in order to conduct a preliminary detailed analysis of the setup before building it in the lab. In this work, we perform a vectorial physical-optics simulation of Fourier microscopy systems, which considers the real lenses; it also includes the nanostructure (e.g., photonic crystal). The systems are used to image the emission diagram of a single molecule as well as to analyze the angular-spectral property of a photonic crystal. We analyze various effects of the entire systems, e.g., Fresnel effects of the real lens surfaces, diffraction, polarization, chromatic aberration, and the effects of misalignment. We find that the above-mentioned effects have an influence on the final results, which should be taken into account when performing similar real-life experiments.

substrate in different patterns. All of these patterns’ solar absorbers are analyzed, and the results are presented in the form of reflection, transmission, absorption, electric field, permittivity, permeability, and refractive index. The parameter physical size is also varied, and results are observed in terms of reflection, absorption, and transmission. The optimized design is also obtained by analyzing all the design results. Comparative tables are also presented for all of these designs. The results are obtained for the near-infrared frequency range of 155 THz to 425 THz. The proposed uniform metamaterial absorber is applicable in photovoltaic applications and energy harvesting applications.

Background Amikacin is the antibiotic of choice for eradicating bacteria in neonatal sepsis because of its effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria. However, this drug has nephrotoxic effects. Monitoring kidney function in neonates is very important because amikacin can interfere with development of the kidney. Several studies have shown that serum cystatin C levels were closer to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) values ​​compared to serum creatinine levels.
Objective To evaluate cystatin C levels before and after administration of amikacin in neonates with sepsis.
Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted in one group with a pretest and posttest design. Thirty neonatal sepsis patients who received amikacin therapy at Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar, Bali, were included by consecutive sampling. Their cystatin C levels were measured before and after receiving amikacin therapy. Data were normally distributed and analyzed by paired T-test, with a value of P<0.05 considered to be significant.
Results The mean difference was 0.23 [1.57 (SD 0.29) vs. 1.80 (SD 0.28)] mg/L with P value < 0.001. There was different value of cystatin c level before and after amikacin therapy with deviation standard 0.25 with P<0.001 (alfa 5%).
Conclusion Cystatin C levels are significantly higher in neonates with sepsis after administration of amikacin.

Authors: Sujarwo Mohamad Wawan , Indarto Indarto , Mandala Marga 
Published: June 2020

DAS bajulmati merupakan DAS kecil (± 173.4 km2) yang berada di wilayah timur pulau Jawa. DAS bajulmati memiliki iklim yang spesifik yaitu relatif kering dengan musim kemarau yang panjang (8-9 bulan selama setahun). Meskipun kondisi iklim yang kurang mendukung, sebagian besar masyarakat bekerja sebagai petani landang. Adanya perluasan lahan pertanian non irigasi/ladang mengakibatkan tutupan vegetasi semakin berkurang. Oleh karena itu, evaluasi DAS bajulmati diperlukan untuk mengetahui dampak perluasan lahan pertanian terhadap laju aliran dan sedimentasi dengan kondisi iklim yang cukup spesifik (kering). Salah satu model evaluasi pengelolaan DAS terhadap perubahan lahan adalah model SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool). SWAT dapat menggambarkan proses hidrologi (erosi dan sedimentasi) unit lahan. data DEM resolusi (10x10 m) sebagai masukan utama untuk proses delinasi DAS. Data tanah, tutupan lahan, dan kontur digunakan untuk menentukan unit lahan/hydrolocal response unit (HRU) DAS. Data curah hujan dan iklim (suhu, kelembaban rata-rata, intensitas matahari, kecepatan angin) diperoleh dari stasiun yang tersebar di wilayah DAS. Semua data diintegrasikan ke dalam SWAT untuk menghitung proses hidrologi, erosi dan sedimentasi. Debit yang diamati digunakan untuk mengkalibrasi keluaran debit hasil SWAT di outlet DAS. Hasil kalibrasi debit menunjukkan nilai Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency sebesar 0,53 dan validasi sebesar 0,5 serta koefisien determinasi sebesar 0,58 dan 0,78 (memuaskan) dan model dapat digunakan untuk ilustrasi proses hidrologi dalam DAS bajulmati. Analisis tingkat erosi SWAT menunjukkan bahwa 34,46; 39,19; dan 17,83 menunjukkan tingkat erosi sangat ringan sampai kategori sedang. Oleh karena itu, DAS Bajulmati masih dalam kategori aman karena rata-rata erosi berat dan sangat berat dibawah 10%. Nilai sedimentasi tertinggi pada HRU 512 dan SubDAS 23. Wilayah tersebut merupakan wilayah perkebunan dengan tingkat kemiringan diatas 40%.
