Published: July 2020

BackgroundAlgorithms for predicting infection with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) on hospital admission or in patients with bacteraemia have been proposed, aiming to optimise empiric treatment decisions.AimWe sought to confirm external validity and transferability of two published prediction models as well as their integral components.MethodsWe performed a retrospective case–control study at University Hospital Basel, Switzerland. Consecutive patients with ESBL-producingEscherichia coliorKlebsiella pneumoniaeisolated from blood samples between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2016 were included. For each case, three non-ESBL-producing controls matching for date of detection and bacterial species were identified. The main outcome measure was the ability to accurately predict infection with ESBL-PE by measures of discrimination and calibration.ResultsOverall, 376 patients (94 patients, 282 controls) were analysed. Performance measures for prediction of ESBL-PE infection of both prediction models indicate adequate measures of calibration, but poor discrimination (area under receiver-operating curve: 0.627 and 0.651). History of ESBL-PE colonisation or infection was the single most predictive independent risk factor for ESBL-PE infection with high specificity (97%), low sensitivity (34%) and balanced positive and negative predictive values (80% and 82%).ConclusionsApplying published prediction models to institutions these were not derived from, may result in substantial misclassification of patients considered as being at risk, potentially leading to wrong allocation of antibiotic treatment, negatively affecting patient outcomes and overall resistance rates in the long term. Future prediction models need to address differences in local epidemiology by allowing for customisation according to different settings.

The present study was carried out to determine the frequency of bacteria responsible for hip and knee infections at a hospital in Baghdad/Iraq and to get an updated knowledge about their antibiotic resistance pattern during a period of study which extended from 1 October, 2016 till 1 October, 2017. Identification of bacteria at species level was done by using Analytic Profile Index (API) system (Bio-Merieux, France). The antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed according to Kirby-Bauer (disk diffusion) technique. The frequency of positive aspiration of hip and knee joint infections cultures was 25(65.79%) cases out of 38 hip and knee joint aspiration. Out of 25 positive aspirations of hip and knee joint infections cultures, 3(12%) cultures gave mix growth of bacteria. Frequency of positive hip and knee joint infections cultures was higher in male than female patients, 19(76%) vs. 6(24%) (P-value ≤ 0.05).
Out of 28 isolated bacteria, Gram positive was the most frequently isolated bacteria in hip and knee joint infection cultures, 22(78.6%) vs. 6(21.4%) (P-value < 0.05). Staphylococcus epidermidis was the most frequently isolated 13(46.5%) isolates followed by Staphylococcus aureus isolates 7(25%). On other hand Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most frequently isolated Gram negative bacteria 3(10.7 %%) in hip and knee joint infection cultures.
The most effective antibiotic on Gram-positive isolates was Vancomycin which showed 95.5%. In Gram negative bacteria the most effective antibiotics were Imipenem (100%) followed by Amikacin which showed sensitivity rate 83.33.
The Biological Basis of Performativity of Identity - Linking Scientific Evidence to Social Theory
Authors: Constantine Godwin Roger 
Published: July 2020

Identity is the essence of performance and performance is the essence of identity. Without identity our performance does not assume any cultural significance. Our relative identity allows our performance to be located in the socio-cultural space. Our identity forms the foundation for the discursive significance of our performance. However, our identity is not unique, it is established by performing a pre-existing script. The biological basis of identity can be understood by applying learning theories and by analyzing how these leant behavior is embedded in our neuronal network in the brain and how these behavior patterns are controlled by psychological factors to result in the identity we observe. Recent developments in the fields of neuroscience and functional neuro imaging have enabled us to study objectively the process of neural mechanisms and map areas of brain that are involved in learning various behavior patterns. These neuronal networks and the neuro transmitters play a key role in memory and behavior of animals. Aby studying the particular pattern of behavior and the brain area that mediates that behavior it will be possible to determine neuronal networks that control core identity characteristics and that control other less important characteristics. With the emergence of studies in neuroplasticity the possibility of relearning behaviors through new neuronal pathways may open new avenues to treat conditions that affect identity. Understanding the biological basis of identity will lead to widening of research area and better understanding of the concept.

Published: July 2020

The purpose of the research is evaluating the efficacy of the antiparasitic complex based on ivermectin obtained by mechanochemical technology against gastrointestinal nematodosis of herd horses.Materials and methods. The efficacy of the ivermectin-based antiparasitic complex was tested in December-February 2019 in the Southern Federal District of the Chechen Republic in a private farm on 22 stabled foals aged over one year. To diagnose gastrointestinal parascaridosis and strongylatosis, feces of foals were examined using the Fulleborn’s method. Helminth eggs in 1 g of feces were counted in a counting chamber of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Helminthology. In order to diagnose oxyurosis, pieces of transparent adhesive tape with prints from perianal folds were transferred to a glass slide and examined for Oxyuris spp. eggs. The antiparasitic complex of ivermectin 2% was administered in a mixture with food at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg by the drug (0.2 mg/kg by the active substance). After a preliminary test of the ivermectin complex efficacy, the therapeutic dose of the drug was titrated on 46 adult horses (aged 2–4 years) from the same private entrepreneur. The horses spontaneously infected with Strongylata, Parascarids and Oxyurises were divided into 5 groups according to the analogue principle. For animals of groups 1, 2, and 3, the drug was administered at a doses of 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mg/kg by the AS respectively. The horses of groups 4 and 5 were given the substance of ivermectin at a doses of 0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg by the AS, mixed with combined feed individually. The efficacy of the supramolecular complex of ivermectin was recorded according to the data of coproovoscopic studies using the critical test method according to the Guidelines approved by the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (1995). Results and discussion. The rate of infection of the foals with Strongylata, Parascarids and Oxyurises was 100, 40 and 55% respectively as resulted from the coproovoscopic studies. The dissections showed that the intensity of infection with Strongylata was equal to 477.4±23.87 individuals per animal, Parascarids 447.1±55.89, and Oxyurises 22.2±2.02. The 100 % efficacy was determined for the antiparasitic complex of ivermectin at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg by the drug (0.2 mg/kg by the AS) against the main gastrointestinal nematodes. The substance of ivermectin at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg showed 87.5% efficacy against Strongylata and Parascarids, and at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, it showed a lack of efficacy (50.0 and 25.0% respectively). We recognized the dose of 0.15 mg/kg by the AS of the supramolecular complex of ivermectin with one-time individual use in a mixture with food as therapeutic.

Published: July 2020

The purpose of the research to study the mixed course of sheep infection, caused by pathogens of fasciolosis and paraphistomatosis, in the conditions of Samarkand and Tashkent regions. Materials and methods. The research material was fallen and forcibly killed sheep from two regions of Uzbekistan, simultaneously infected by Fasciola gigantica and Paramphistomum spp. (Gastrothylax crumenifer, Calicophoron calicophorum). The animals' liver was subjected to complete helminthological dissection, followed by the presence of young immature in the parenchyma, and in the bile ducts – sexually mature fasciola. To detect pathogens of paramphistomatosis, we examined the scar and mesh, and, if necessary, the mucous membranes of the abomasum and the initial part of the small intestine. To kill the collected F. gigantica and complete bleeding with a Paramphistomum spp., they were kept in water for one and three to four days, respectively. After they took their natural form, their type, age and number were determined, and then fixed in Barbagallo fluid. If necessary, coprological studies of sheep and malacological studies of biotopes of freshwater mollusks, intermediate hosts of the studied trematodes, were carried out. Results and discussion. In recent years, cases of a mixed course in sheep fasciolosis (F. gigantica) and paramphistomatosis in farms of Uzbekistan have become more frequent. When opening the liver of the fallen sheep, up to 278 specimens were found immature F. gigantica and up to 3994 sp. G. crumenifer. In some farms, the death of individual owners' sheep from calicophorosis caused by C. calicophorum was observed with an intensity of infection of 592 sp. of C. calicophorum.

Published: July 2020

The purpose of the research is evaluating histological and histochemical research methods as information criteria in identifying the effect of chemicals on trematodes. Materials and methods. The study material was trematodes Fasciola hepatica, F. gigantica, Paramphistomum cervi and Dicrocoelium lanceatum collected during dissecting spontaneously infected animals after they had been treated with anthelmintics (Triclabendazole, Dimezole, Polytrem, Antitrem, Tetraxichol, Tegalid and Fascocid) using various therapeutic doses with appropriate regimens. Trematodes from untreated animals were used as control. The detected material was processed under the generally accepted histological procedure and embedded in paraffin. Microslides, namely, slices of 5–7 µm thick, were stained using histological and histochemical methods and studied under a light microscope. Results and discussion. Morphologically, when the microstructure of organs and tissues of trematodes F. hepatica, F. gigantica, P. cervi and D. lanceatum treated with anthelmintics (Triclabendazole, Dimezole, Polytrem, Antitrem, Tetraxichol, Tegalid and Fascocid) was studied, edema, vacuoles, lysis of tissue and cell structures, and severe basophilia were observed in their body. Protein metabolism imbalance and distorted protein synthesis were recorded histochemically. As an outcome of pathophysiological processes after anthelmintic treatment, necrobiosis detected in trematodes and the developing severe edema lead to colliquative necrosis caused by irreversible dystrophic processes occurred at the level of water and protein metabolism imbalance. Misdirected histochemical reaction of trematodes’ tissues and organs when stained for proteins marks nuclear degeneration, termination of protein molecule synthesis, and protein metabolism failure.

Quantum Mechanics and Salvation: A New Meeting Point for Science and Theology
Authors: Qureshi-Hurst Emily 
Published: July 2020

[Figure: see text] Quantum mechanics has recently indicated that temporal order is not always fixed, a finding that has far-reaching philosophical and theological implications. The phenomena, termed “indefinite causal order,” shows that events can be in a superposition with regard to their order. In the experimental setting with which this article is concerned, two events, A and B, were shown to be in the ordering relations “A before B” and “B before A” at the same time. This article introduces an ongoing project that seeks to make sense of this result, with a particular focus on the methodology by which this research will be undertaken. Specific research questions, particularly regarding what indefinite causal order might mean for the metaphysics of time and the doctrine of salvation, are introduced. The collaborative approach detailed brings together the disciplinary skills of a working scientist and a working theologian. What is offered is a collaborative methodology for interaction between science and religion that is more than the sum of its parts. Alister McGrath’s idea of multiple rationalities is employed as an epistemological framework within which this research takes place. Within an epistemologically pluralistic model, collaborative efforts are not only encouraged but necessary. Complex reality requires an equally complex, usually interdisciplinary, explanation. I argue that such dialogue is both theologically justified and culturally valuable and indicates the direction in which this research will be taken.
