Clinical Significance of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Liver Transplantation
Authors: Atlas Ahmet 
Published: May 2021

Objective: Liver transplantation has been reported to be a predictor of patient survival in acute coronary syndrome and various malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In a previous study, it was demonstrated that high Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) values before treatment are an independent prognostic factor predicting poor survival in patients with large HCC. We aimed to investigate whether preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and thrombocyte count are prognostic factors for posttransplantation mortality or graft function in patients who underwent liver transplantation in the clinic.
Material and Methods: The data of 40 patients who underwent liver transplantation in the clinic during January 2018–December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and included in the study.
Results: The mean age of the 40 patients included in the study was 51.1 ± 11.7 years. Of these, 27 (67.5%) were male, and 13 (32.5%) were female. Living-donor liver transplantation was performed in 33 patients, whereas cadaveric liver transplantation was performed in seven patients. The mean ejection fraction (EF) was 56.7% ± 3.2%, and the mean model for end-stage liver disease score was 22.4 ± 5.4. After one year of follow-up, 10 out of 40 patients (25%) died after orthotopic liver transplantation. The mean preoperative neutrophil count was found to be 5.7 ± 2.4 × 109/l in non-surviving patients and 3.1 ± 2.05 × 109/l in surviving patients. It was found that mortality increased in patients with high preoperative neutrophil values (NLR > 3.7, p < 0.001) and preoperative platelet count (<79.52 × 109/L, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Preoperative neutrophilia, thrombocytopenia and high NLR values may predict poor prognosis in patients undergoing OLT.

Approximations of the Spin of Close Black Hole–Wolf–Rayet Binaries
Authors: Bavera Simone S. , Zevin Michael , Fragos Tassos 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Population synthesis studies of binary black hole mergers often lack robust black hole spin estimates as they cannot accurately follow tidal spin-up during the late black hole–Wolf–Rayet evolutionary phase. We provide an analytical approximation of the dimensionless second-born black hole spin given the binary orbital period and Wolf–Rayet stellar mass at helium depletion or carbon depletion. These approximations are obtained from fitting a sample of around 105 detailed MESA simulations that follow the evolution and spin up of close black hole–Wolf–Rayet systems with metallicities in the range

. Following the potential spin up of the Wolf–Rayet progenitor, the second-born black hole spin is calculated using up-to-date core collapse prescriptions that account for any potential disk formation in the collapsing Wolf–Rayet star. The fits for second-born black hole spin provided in this work can be readily applied to any astrophysical modeling that relies on rapid population synthesis, and will be useful for the interpretation of gravitational-wave sources using such models.
Sykdomspulsen One Health - A real time surveillance system in an infrastructure coping with half a million analysis a day
Authors: Koren Clemence , Swanson David , Grøneng Gry , Rø Gunnar , Hopp Petter , Jonsson Malin , White Richard 
Published: May 2021

Sykdomspulsen is a real time surveillance system developed by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) for One Health surveillance and the surveillance of other infectious diseases in humans like respiratory diseases and lately covid-19.
The One Health surveillance comprise of Campylobacter data from humans and chicken farms and also includes diagnosis codes from doctor appointments and weather data with analysis forecasting outbreaks in Norway. It is a joint project between the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) and the Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI), under the framework of the OHEJP NOVA (Novel approaches for design and evaluation of cost-effective surveillance across the food chain) and MATRIX (Connecting dimensions in One-Health surveillance) projects.
The system relies on two pillars, the first being an analytics infrastructure which in real time retrieves data from tens of sources, cleans and harmonizes it, then runs over half a million analyses each day and produces over 20 000 000 rows of results to be used every day. The analytics infrastructure is based on R. Results are notably being used by NIPH for the monitoring of covid-19 development and the surveillance of other transmittable diseases such as influenza and gastro-intestinal illness. The analytics framework also generates hundreds of reports every day, directed at dissemination to municipal health authorities. This framework is not currently publicly available, but an open-source release is expected by the end of 2021.
The second pilar is an interactive R Shiny dashboard platform, which is used for communicating the data and the model results to partner organisations. It allows for the easy creation of a website where public and animal health researchers and food safety experts can view real time analyses. This dashboard combines the powerful data visualisation and analysis strength of R with the accessibility, flexibility, structure and interactivity of web-based platforms.
The result is a real time interactive surveillance system, that is supported by a solid infrastructure and streamlined data flow, and shared with actors through a beautiful and user-friendly website, based entirely on R.

Identifying a specific product causing a foodborne disease outbreak can be difficult, especially when dealing with a large amounts of suspicious food items and weak epidemiological evidence. A previously described likelihood model (Norström et al. 2015), improved within the OHEJP NOVA project, helps to prioritize food products that should be sampled for laboratory analysis. It is the aim of our study to integrate this approach into state of the art tracing software FoodChain-Lab (FCL; https://foodrisklabs.bfr.bund.de/foodchain-lab) developed at BfR to facilitate outbreak investigations.
The model improved by Kausrud et al. in R (Ihaka and Gentleman 1996) uses wholesale data, the distribution of disease cases and census data to sort food items by their estimated likelihood to be the source of an outbreak. We developed a fast and secure intuitive software module using the Web Assembly technology (Haas et al. 2017) allowing professionals to embed the module easily into other applications.
We integrated the module into the FCL web application for tracing (FCL Web; https://fcl-portal.bfr.berlin) to provide an intuitive and user-friendly solution. This solution combines a simple data input with extended data wrangling to make the calculation of the NOVA model as easy as possible. Since the model can be executed directly inside the web browser and therefore does not rely on any server environment, the possibility of data leakage can be highly reduced. The implementation of the advanced likelihood model into FCL Web increase the availability of this model and provides investigators easy, fast and reliable usage to improve outbreak investigation workflows.

The bushfrog genus Gracixalus Delorme, Dubois, Grosjean &amp; Ohler, 2005 is found in southern and south-western China, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. It is presently comprised of 17 species. In Thailand, only two species have been recorded, namely G. carinensis (Boulenger) and G. seesom (Massui, Khonsue, Panha &amp; Eto). The latter of these two species is currently known to be endemic to the country.
Based on recent field work conducted in 2019 in Doi Phu Kha National Park, Nan Province of northern Thailand, we are reporting two new records of the genus Gracixalus, G. quangi and G. yunnanensis, from Thailand, based on morphological and molecular evidence. In addition, this is the first study to report on the identification of a female specimen of G. yunnanensis. Furthermore, morphological data and natural history notes of the aforementioned species in Thailand have been provided, along with updated locations for the distribution of both species.

Published: May 2021

Multiple T-DNA integrations often occur with transgenic technology, resulting in complex integration patterns and transgene silencing. This study, investigates the correlation coefficient of T-DNA copy number on vector backbone (VBB) integration in transgenic cassava using Dot blot and PCR analysis. Thirty-nine, fifty-one and thirty-eight transgenic cassava plant lines recovered from transformations of cassava friable embryogenic callus with A. tumefaciens strain LBA4404 independently carrying p8016, p8052, and p900 were randomly selected and evaluated for VBB integration and T-DNA copy number. The occurrences of events with low (1-2) and high (≥ 3) T-DNA copy numbers were correlated with the presence and absence of VBB integration. Seventy-two to ninety-eight percent of VBB-free events were low copy number events while 2 to 28% of same where high copy number events. Correlation coefficient of the data revealed that the number of VBB-free events showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.821, n = 9, p = 0.01) for events with low T-DNA copy number and a significant negative correlation (r = -0.739, n =9, p = 0.02) for high copy number events. This shows that the recovery of events with low T-DNA copy number increases the chances of recovering VBB-free events thereby enhancing the production of quality transgenic events.

Published: May 2021

Enzymes linked with diabetes mellitus and Phytochemical characterization of its bioactive constituents. Crude n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts were prepared successively in a soxhlet apparatus at 50ºC. Subsequently, extraction of crude enzymes from porcine pancreas and rat intestine, thin layer chromatographic analysis (TLC), and inhibitory effects of the extracts on b-amylase and b-glucosidase were determined in vitro. The results reveal that G. kola seed extracts inhibited b-amylase (IC50= 4.89 mg/ml, 3.44 mg/ml, 0.78 mg/ml) and b-glucosidase (IC50= 10.29 mg/ml, 1.68 mg/ml, 2.67 mg/ ml) corresponding to n-hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol gradient extracts. n-hexane extract had the highest inhibitory effect on b-amylase, while methanol extract was highest on b-glucosidase. Characterization of the bioactive constituents of the extracts using TLC analysis revealed the presence of steroids/triterpenes and phenolic compounds with phenolic compounds appearing in all extracts irrespective of the solvent polarity used for extraction. Anthraquinone and alkaloids were confirmed absent on TLC. This enzyme inhibition could be one of the possible pathways by which G. kola elicits its antidiabetic properties. Furthermore, the enzyme inhibitory properties of the extracts can be attributed to the presence of steroids/triterpenes, phenolic compounds in the seeds of G. kola.Keywords: Garcinia kola, b-amylase, b-glucosidase, TLC, Inhibitory Effect

The purpose of this study is to interpret the Gospel of Luke 23: 33-43 in providing a picture of Jesus' Suffering on the cross showing all people of love that does not avenge evil deeds. The love shown above the ferocity of human sin so that humans can repent and believe in Him as the Messiah. Even though He knew that sinful men crucified Him because there was an element of ignorance, but Jesus was willing to accept it in place of the punishment of all people, so that the gospel or the tidings of joy might come true on earth. The inhumane treatment and humiliation that He received from all parties were rewarded with love which was the gift of the salvation of all people. This is the motto for believers to continue to forgive each other, even at the cost of His pride and life. The research method in writing this Scientific work is a qualitative method namely the Exegetical study approach. The interpretation method used is of course by using the following conditions and steps: book recognition, text analysis, textual criticism by comparing the opinions of experts and analyzing them, comparison of translations, general context and special context, Literary Forms, Sitz im Leben, aspects of government and politics, Socio-Economic Aspects, religious aspects, verse-by-verse interpretation, overall and skopus interpretation, Reflections for today's Christians. Based on Jesus' Suffering on the cross Luke 23: 33-43. The conclusion is that the Cross of Christ is a sign of a Christian life where humans have been reconciled by God, and justified with God, therefore, humans have redemption from God. So the warning that we do is our motivation to be more enthusiastic about living this life, moreover the spirit of preaching the love of God in the midst of our lives.

The purpose of this study is to find out what advice about anxiety is based on the book of Matthew 6: 25-34 and to explore the advice about concerns and to reflect it on today's Christians. The research method in writing this scientific paper is a qualitative method with an exegetical study approach. The interpretation method used is the terms and steps of biblical interpretation, so the steps used by researchers are as follows: book recognition, text analysis, textual criticism by comparing opinions of experts and analyzing them, comparison of translations, general context and specific context, general context, special context, form criticism, literary criticism, sitz im leben, verse by verse interpretation, overall interpretation and the scope. As a result of the exegetical study of Matthew 6: 25-34, concerns in the lives of Christians is a teaching of Jesus to strengthen the belief of Christians to put their hope in Jesus.Worry only exists in people who do not know God, and people who often feel anxious are grouped in people who lack faith and belief that God is the only helper and the way of salvation. God has provided everything for humans and humans do not need to think about what will happen tomorrow, but Christians must adopt a good lifestyle every day and they need not think or worry about an uncertain future. Because tomorrow has its own prosperity and only God knows what will happen tomorrow. Jesus wants Christians to seek God's kingdom and God's truth, which means to be obedient and faithful to God. If Christians have sought the kingdom of God, God will provide what is needed by His people. Keyword : Worry

Introduction: Following the pandemic, screening suspected individuals on a large scale is imperative to curtail the disease's spread to enormous proportions. The walk-in kiosk is an ideal example of an innovation that is time and labour efficient and safe to use. Methodology and review of literature: Embase, Google Scholar, and Pubmed were used to extract scholarly articles about the subject published worldwide. The Walk-in kiosk concept was an idea taken from the biosafety chamber used in the advanced microbiology laboratories. Results: This ergonomic design enables the HCW to perform better without bending forwards or reaching out for the oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal swab. It avoids a great deal of inconvenience for both the HCW and the patient.
