Flatid Planthopper, Oormenaria rufifascia (Walker) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Flatidae)
Authors: Howard Forrest W. , Halbert Susan 
Published: September 2021

Ormenaria rufifascia (Walker) is a common insect on some species of palms in Florida. Although it is usually not a serious pest, it sometimes indirectly causes aesthetic damage when dense populations produce honeydew that supports extensive coatings of sootymold on the host plants. Both the adults and nymphs are conspicuous insects that often arouse people's curiosity.

Constraints on models of the origin of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos
Authors: Troitsky S V 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The existence of astrophysical neutrinos with energies of tens of TeV and higher has been firmly established by the IceCube experiment; the first confirmations of this discovery were obtained by the ANTARES and Baikal-GVD installations. At the same time, observational results do not fully agree with those expected before the start of these experiments. The origin of the neutrino has not yet been determined, while simple theoretical models, popular for decades, cannot explain the entire ensemble of observational data. In the present review, a summary of experimental results is given with a particular emphasis on those most relevant for constraining theoretical models; features of various scenarios of the origin of high-energy neutrinos are discussed; and particular classes of their potential astrophysical sources are briefly listed. It is shown that observational data may be explained if the astrophysical neutrino flux includes both a contribution of extragalactic sources, dominant at high energies, and a Galactic component, essential only at neutrino energies ≲ 100 TeV. Other possible scenarios are also discussed.

Published: September 2021

BackgroundThere is a paucity of studies using clinical characteristics and whole-genome sequencing together to fully identify the risk factors of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) bloodstream infection (BSI).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical and microbiological characteristics of patients with KP BSI. Isolates were processed using Illumina NGS, and relevant bioinformatics analysis was conducted (multi-locus sequence typing, serotype, phylogenetic reconstruction, detection of antibiotic resistance, and virulence genes). A logistic regression model was used to evaluate the risk factors of hosts and causative KP isolates associated with 30-day mortality in patients infected with KP BSI.ResultsOf the 79 eligible patients, the 30-day mortality rate of patients with KP BSI was 30.4%. Multivariate analysis showed that host-associated factors (increased APACHE II score and septic shock) were strongly associated with increased 30-day mortality. For the pathogenic factors, carriage of iutA (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.11–1.81, p = 0.002) or Kvar_1549 (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02–1.69, p = 0.043) was an independent risk factor, especially when accompanied by a multidrug-resistant phenotype. In addition, ST11-K64 hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant KP co-harbored acquired blaKPC-2 together with iutA (76.5%, 13/17) and Kvar_1549 (100%, 17/17) genes. Comparative genomic analysis showed that they were clustered together based on a phylogenetic tree, and more virulence genes were observed in the group of ST11-K64 strains compared with ST11-non-K64. The patients infected with ST11-K64 strains were associated with relatively high mortality (47.2%, 7/17).ConclusionThe carriage of iutA and Kvar_1549 was seen to be an independent mortality risk factor in patients with KP BSI. The identification of hypervirulent and carbapenem-resistant KP strains associated with high mortality should prompt surveillance.

Published: September 2021

ObjectiveThyroid nodules (TNs) are a common thyroid disorder that can be caused by many factors. Several studies have investigated the relationship between TNs and metabolic syndrome (MetS), but the role of sex and age remains controversial. The purpose of this paper was to analyze published data from all relevant studies to reliably estimate the relationship between TNs and MetS.MethodsThirteen articles were included in this study; articles were identified by searching for publications until July 2021 in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and the Web of Science. The outcomes are presented as the summary odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and the pooled prevalence and 95% CI.ResultsThe TNs prevalence was significantly higher in MetS patients than in controls (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.42-2.50, P &lt; 0.0001) and was independent of sex (male: OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.20-1.94, P = 0.0006; female: OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.54-2.33, P &lt; 0.00001; combined: OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.31-3.25, P = 0.002) and age (&lt; 40 years old: OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.39-1.89, P &lt; 0.0001; 40~50 years old: OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.49-3.08, P &lt; 0.0001;50~60 years old: OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.08-2.07, P = 0. 01; 60 years old: OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.36-2.14, P &lt; 0.00001); the pooled TNs prevalence in MetS patients was 45% (95% CI 36-54%). However, it has not yet been considered that MetS is related to TNs in people with iodine deficiency (OR 3.14, 95% CI 0.92-10.73, P = 0.07).ConclusionThe meta-analysis results showed a strong correlation between TNs and MetS. Both male and female patients with MetS had an increased TNs prevalence. In addition, the prevalence was independent of age. However, MetS is not considered to be associated with TNs in iodine-deficient populations.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), and to observe the histopathological changes after MWA.MethodsMWA was performed under ultrasound guidance for 73 unifocal PTMC patients without clinically cervical or distant metastasis. The target ablation zone exceeded the tumor edge (judged by contrast-enhanced US) to avoid marginal residue and recurrence. Ultrasound evaluation was performed at 1 day, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after treatment, and thyroid function evaluation at the first 6 months. Repeated fine needle aspiration cytology or core needle biopsy pathology was performed at 3 or 6 months after MWA to evaluate residual tumors. Any adverse event associated with MWA was evaluated.ResultsThe follow-up after MWA lasted 6 (6, 12) months. Tumor volume decreased significantly from 0.06 mm3 (0.04, 0.11 mm3) to 0.03 mm3 (0.00, 0.06 mm3) at 12 months after MWA (P&lt; 0.001), with a median volume reduction ratio of 80.28% (-7.43, 100%) and 16 cases (21.92%) presenting complete remission. The largest diameter, volume and ablation energy were found to be different in patients with and without complete remission 12 months after MWA. On histopathological examinations, no atypical or malignant follicular cells were identified after thermal ablation. The most common pathological characteristics were fibroblastic proliferation (34/39, 87.18%) and chronic inflammation (32/39, 82.05%), followed by infarction (21/39, 53.85%). Five patients were transferred to thyroidectomy and 4 of them were confirmed with local recurrence and/or lymph node metastasis. Serum thyrotropin decreased transiently after MWA (P&lt; 0.01) but normalized thereafter. No serious and permanent complications were reported.ConclusionsMWA is a safe and effective treatment for low-risk PTMC. Fibroblastic proliferation and chronic inflammation are the most common pathological changes after MWA of PTMC.

Published: September 2021

Antibiotics in the environment cause widespread concern as a result of their potent inhibitory action on microbial growth and their role in potentially creating selective conditions for proliferation of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Comprising a carbon skeleton, antibiotics should be amenable to microbial biodegradation, but this is still largely uncharted territory because of their simultaneous strong toxicity. In this study, we estimated potential antibiotics degradation by and effects on mixed microbial communities at concentrations sufficiently high to allow sensitive detection of biomass growth, but simultaneously, low enough to mitigate their toxic action. We used three different mixed inoculum sources freshly derived from freshwater, activated sludge or soil, and tested a series of 15 antibiotics from different classes at 1 mg C-carbon l−1 dosage. Consistent community growth was observed for freshwater and activated sludge with ampicillin, erythromycin and chloramphenicol, and with sulfomethoxazole for activated sludge, which was accompanied by parent compound disappearance. Community growth could be attributed to a few subclasses of recognized cell types by using supervised machine-learning-based classifiers. Most other tested antibiotics resulted in inhibition of community growth on background assimilable organic carbon, concomitant with altered composition of the resulting communities. We conclude that growth-linked biodegradation of antibiotics at low concentrations may be present among typical environmental microbiota, but for a selected subset only, whereas for the majority of antibiotics negative effects prevail without any sign of productive growth.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent malignant diseases worldwide and has a poor prognosis. Gene-based prognostic models have been reported to predict the overall survival of patients with HCC. Unfortunately, most of the genes used in earlier prognostic models lack prospective validation and, thus, cannot be used in clinical practice.Methods: Candidate genes were selected from GEPIA (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis), and their associations with patients’ survival were confirmed by RT-PCR using cDNA tissue microarrays established from patients with HCC after radical resection. A multivariate Cox proportion model was used to calculate the coefficient of corresponding gene. The expression of seven genes of interest (MKI67, AR, PLG, DNASE1L3, PTTG1, PPP1R1A, and TTR) with two reference genes was defined to calculate a risk score which determined groups of different risks.Results: Our risk scoring efficiently classified patients (n = 129) with HCC into a low-, intermediate-, and high-risk group. The three groups showed meaningful distinction of 3-year overall survival rate, i.e., 88.9, 74.5, and 20.6% for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk group, respectively. The prognostic prediction model of risk scores was subsequently verified using an independent prospective cohort (n = 77) and showed high accuracy.Conclusion: Our seven-gene signature model performed excellent long-term prediction power and provided crucially guiding therapy for patients who are not a candidate for surgery.
Sharing With Patients the Uncertainties Regarding the Management of Dyspepsia
Authors: Benbassat Jochanan 
Published: September 2021

Background: The management of patients with dyspepsia is uncertain. Some authors advocate endoscopy for all; others restrict endoscopy only to patients at high risk of gastric cancer, namely to those above an age threshold, or with a family history, dysphagia, loss of weight, anemia, or a childhood in Asian countries. Still others recommend various combinations between test-and-treat for Helicobacter pylori, anti-secretory treatment, and/or endoscopy.Objective: To highlight the uncertainties in the choice between the various strategies and argue that these uncertainties should be shared with the patient.Method: An overview of reported life expectancy, patient satisfaction, gastric cancer detection rates, symptom relief, and cost effectiveness of the management strategies for dyspepsia.Main Findings: There are no randomized controlled trials of the effect of screening by endoscopy on mortality of patients with gastric cancer. Lower grades of evidence suggest that early diagnosis reduces this mortality. Analyses, which assume a survival benefit of early diagnosis, indicate that mass screening in countries of high incidence gastric cancer (&gt; 10 cases per 100,000) and targeted screening of high-risk persons in countries of low-intermediate incidence (&lt;10 cases per 100,000) is cost-effective at a willingness to pay of $20,000–50,000 per QALY. Prompt endoscopy appears to be best for patient satisfaction and gastric cancer detection, and test-and-treat for H pylori—for symptom relief and avoiding endoscopies.Conclusions: The gain in life expectancy is the main source of uncertainty in the choice between management strategies. This choice should be shared with the patients after explaining uncertainties and eliciting their preferences.

Background: Previous research suggested that Chinese Medicine (CM) Formula Huashibaidu granule might shorten the disease course in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. This research aimed to investigate the early treatment effect of Huashibaidu granule in well-managed patients with mild COVID-19.Methods: An unblinded cluster-randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Dongxihu FangCang hospital. Two cabins were randomly allocated to a CM or control group, with 204 mild COVID-19 participants in each cabin. All participants received conventional treatment over a 7 day period, while the ones in CM group were additionally given Huashibaidu granule 10 g twice daily. Participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint. The primary outcome was worsening symptoms before the clinical endpoint. The secondary outcomes were cure and discharge before the clinical endpoint and alleviation of composite symptoms after the 7 days of treatment.Results: All 408 participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint and included in statistical analysis. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05). The number of worsening patients in the CM group was 5 (2.5%), and that in the control group was 16 (7.8%) with a significant difference between groups (P = 0.014). Eight foreseeable mild adverse events occurred without statistical difference between groups (P = 0.151).Conclusion: Seven days of early treatment with Huashibaidu granule reduced the likelihood of worsening symptoms in patients with mild COVID-19. Our study supports Huashibaidu granule as an active option for early treatment of mild COVID-19 in similar well-managed medical environments.Clinical Trial Registration:www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=49408, identifier: ChiCTR2000029763.

Objective: The goal of this study is to better characterize the phenotypic heterogeneity of oromandibular dystonia (OMD) for the purpose of facilitating early diagnosis.Methods: First, we provide a comprehensive summary of the literature encompassing 1,121 cases. Next, we describe the clinical features of 727 OMD subjects enrolled by the Dystonia Coalition (DC), an international multicenter cohort. Finally, we summarize clinical features and treatment outcomes from cross-sectional analysis of 172 OMD subjects from two expert centers.Results: In all cohorts, typical age at onset was in the 50s and 70% of cases were female. The Dystonia Coalition cohort revealed perioral musculature was involved most commonly (85%), followed by jaw (61%) and tongue (17%). OMD more commonly appeared as part of a segmental dystonia (43%), and less commonly focal (39%) or generalized (10%). OMD was found to be associated with impaired quality of life, independent of disease severity. On average, social anxiety (LSA score: 33 ± 28) was more common than depression (BDI II score: 9.7 ± 7.8). In the expert center cohorts, botulinum toxin injections improved symptom severity by more than 50% in ~80% of subjects, regardless of etiology.Conclusions: This comprehensive description of OMD cases has revealed novel insights into the most common OMD phenotypes, pattern of dystonia distribution, associated psychiatric disturbances, and effect on QoL. We hope these findings will improve clinical recognition to aid in timely diagnosis and inform treatment strategies.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: To determine which patients with visual snow (VS) and VS syndrome (VSS) require standard ophthalmologic testing including automated visual field and which patients require further testing such as macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), electrophysiology, and neuroimaging.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 52 consecutive patients at three institutions with VS and VSS including the University of Alabama, Callahan Eye Hospital, the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, and the Little Rock Eye Clinic from the years 2015 to 2021. We collected historical information, examination findings, ophthalmic testing, electrophysiology, and neuroimaging.Results: Of the 52 patients with VS and VSS, eight of the 52 cases met the clinical criteria for VSS. The ages ranged from 7 to 79 years, with a mean age of 25 years (SD = 14.0). There were 22 males and 30 females. Color vision was tested in 51 cases and was normal in 47 cases (92%). A funduscopic exam was performed in all 52 cases and was normal in 46 cases (88%). The macular SD-OCT was normal in all of the 19 cases that it was performed (100%). A Humphrey visual field was performed in 50 cases and was normal in 43 (86%). A visually evoked potential (VEP) was normal in 18 of the 19 cases where it was obtained (95%). The full-field electroretinography (ffERG) was obtained in 28 cases and was normal in 25 (89%). The multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) was normal in 11 of 12 cases (92%). Only four patients accounted for all of the abnormal electrophysiological tests. In the 37 cases that had an MRI, 29 were normal (78%). Only one patient revealed a lesion in the visual pathway (right optic nerve enhancement in an optic neuritis patient).Conclusions: Patients with VS and VSS, if typical in presentation and with normal testing, do not require a workup beyond a thorough history, neuro-ophthalmologic examination, and automated perimetry. If this testing is abnormal, then ancillary testing is required.
