In recent years, the development of instrumental diagnostics has made it possible to identify a subgroup among patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDoC) in which the phenomenon of “covert cognition” occurs, characterized by a dissociation between the clinical assessment and the data of instrumental diagnostic methods. To identify this phenomenon, we used a set of diagnostic paradigms developed at the Scientific Centre of Neurology in collaboration with a group of neuropsychologists from M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University and tested on a cohort of healthy volunteers (n = 10) under the control of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Objective: to evaluate the results of applying a set of paradigms to diagnose the phenomenon of “covert cognition” in a Russian-speaking cohort of patients with PDoC. Material and methods. In this fragment of a prospective study, after analyzing the medical records of 138 patients, 10 individuals with PDoC of various etiologies were included. Patients underwent a thorough neurological examination and a comprehensive neurophysiological and imaging study with emphasis on fMRI with paradigms. Results. When analyzing the fMRI data, significant activation clusters were detected in five patients in response to some passive paradigms, some of which were comparable to those of healthy subjects. Conclusion. Using the proposed set of fMRI paradigms, we demonstrated the possibility of identifying the phenomenon of “covert cognition” in a Russian-speaking cohort of patients in vegetative state / with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (1/6), and confirmed by instrumental methods preservation of individual aspects of consciousness in patients in minimally conscious state “minus” (4/4).

Published: August 2024

Temporal and parahippocampal glial tumors at early morphological stages of their development may mimic the clinical and neuroimaging picture of limbic encephalitis. Delayed diagnosis of glioblastoma can have a negative impact on the prognosis of the disease, which is why there is a need to find approaches for its earlier detection. The aim of this paper is to analyze possible difficulties and errors in the differential diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and glioblastoma based on literature data and our own clinical observations. Features such as onset of the disease at a young age, subacute development of symptoms, response to immunosuppressive therapy and the MRI imaging of bilateral T2 hyperintense changes in the limbic areas are typical for AE, but do not exclude the diagnosis of a primary tumor of the central nervous system. Therefore, caution should be exercised regarding the likelihood of a primary brain tumor when patients of any age group present with symptoms characteristic of AE, especially if no specific for AE antibodies are detected. To shorten the time to diagnosis, a multidisciplinary approach, critical analysis of clinical data, a shortening of the examination interval and an increase in the frequency of imaging follow-up examinations are required.

Published: August 2024

Flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSSP) is a complex and challenging problem that plays a crucial role in industrial and manufacturing production. FJSSP is an expansion of the standard job shop scheduling problem (JSSP). One of FJSSP’s objectives that the manufacturing system competing for is minimizing the makespan. This paper uses a new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm called the Apiary Organizational-Based Optimization algorithm (AOOA) to solve the FJSSP. This Algorithm simulates the organizational behavior of honeybees inside the apiary and translates their activities and vital processes during their lifecycle into phases that can solve such NP-hard problems. Two benchmark datasets, Brandimarte and Hurink, with 10 MK instances and 24 (edata, rdata, and vdata) instances respectively, were used to demonstrate the ability of AOOA to solve FJSSP. Moreover, the results of AOOA were compared with a set of state-of-the-art algorithms and statistically measured using the paired samples t-test and p-value, RPD, and group-based superiority statistical analysis to test its performance. AOOA outperformed Elitism GA, Enhanced GA, Improved GA, and MOGWO in solving all 10 MK instances and HICSA in solving 9 MK instances out of 10. Moreover, AOOA overcame CS, CS-BNG, CS-ILF, CHA, and MCA in solving 24, 12, 12, 23, and 24 instances of edata, rdata, and vdata, respectively. AOOA proved its robustness, showing promising outcomes.

AbstractPulmonary hypertension (PH) arises from increased pulmonary vascular resistance due to contraction and remodeling of the pulmonary arteries. The structural changes include thickening of the smooth muscle layer from increased proliferation and resistance to apoptosis. The mechanisms underlying apoptosis resistance in PH are not fully understood. In cancer cells, high expression of aquaporin 1 (AQP1), a water channel, is associated with apoptosis resistance. We showed AQP1 protein was expressed in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and upregulated in preclinical PH models. In this study, we used PASMCs isolated from control male rats and the SU5416 plus hypoxia (SuHx) model to test the role of AQP1 in modulating susceptibility to apoptosis. We found the elevated level of AQP1 in PASMCs from SuHx rats was necessary for resistance to apoptosis and that apoptosis resistance could be conferred by increasing AQP1 in control PASMCs. In exploring the downstream pathways involved, we found AQP1 levels influence the expression of Bcl‐2, with enhanced AQP1 levels corresponding to increased Bcl‐2 expression, reducing the ratio of BAX to Bcl‐2, consistent with apoptosis resistance. These results provide a mechanism by which AQP1 can regulate PASMC fate.

AbstractObesity is characterized by specific changes in the composition of the gut microbiota (GM). Exercise can contribute to the modulation of GM. This is the first case study to analyze the composition and metabolism of the GM of an obese runner in a single‐stage mountain ultramarathon (MUM) with a mileage of 217 km. Fecal samples were collected 7 days before the race (T0), 15 min after the end of the race (T1), and 7 days after the end of the race (T2). GM composition was analyzed by real‐time PCR and shotgun sequencing. We observed a decrease in Bacillota/Bacteroidota ratio and α‐diversity after the race. After the 217‐km MUM, we observed a decrease in symbiont microorganisms and a notable increase in harmful bacteria. In conclusion, we found that the 217‐km MUM may have contributed to the intestinal dysbiosis of the obese runner.

Abstract

Objectives
Semen analysis investigates different parameters of human semen with a high relevance in fertility workup, confirmation of sterility by post vasectomy, in pathologies follow-up such as varicocele and in all cases where sperm preservation is required. Manually seminal fluid examination is characterized by poor reproducibility. Aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of an automatic device in semen analysis by comparing its results with those obtained with the manual microscopy.

Materials
Fifty samples (age 18–59 years) were analyzed simultaneously by the manual and automated method. Manual analysis was performed by at least two experienced operators. Concentration and motility were determined by means of standard manual analysis and by the automated LensHooke™ analyzer following the last WHO guidelines.

Results
We compared the concentration (million/mL) of spermatozoa obtained from manual and instrumental count and different classifications obtained: normal, oligospermic, cryptospermic and azoospermic samples. The Wilcoxon test does not show a statistically significant difference. The Bland-Altman plot showed a slightly higher value for the manual count. Second, we compared the morphology and the samples classification in morphological normal and abnormal. Third, spermatozoa motility obtained from the manual and instrumental count was compared with a different classification in normal total motility and asthenozoospermia. Statistical tests showed respectively for morphology and motility a moderate and a very good agreement.

Conclusions
Our study demonstrates that the LensHooke™ shows an acceptable agreement with the manual microscopic seminal fluid evaluation. The use of this simple device could help to standardize reports in non specialistic laboratories.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of eutectic silicon particle size on the properties of composites of carbon-nano tubes (CNTs) and AlSi10Mg prepared by powder metallurgy. The samples were studied using light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, friction tests and tensile experiments. The effects of short-term heat treatment (540 °C solid solution for 1 h 175 °C aging for 4, 5, and 6 h) on the microstructure, tribological properties and tensile properties of the CNTs/AlSi10Mg composites were investigated. The results showed that the composite material showed an obvious toughening effect after 1 h of solid solution treatment and 4 h of aging, and the elongation increased by 33 %. Adding CNTs can improve the friction performance of the material. The composite material has the best friction performance when aged for 5 h. After a short heat treatment, the eutectic silicon is homogenized in the α-Al matrix, and the eutectic network is broken. The eutectic silicon becomes rounded from the lath shape. The spheroidized structure reduces stress concentrations around silicon particles and improves the friction performance of the composite material.
A New Cu-Alloyed Precipitation-Hardening Hot-Work Tool Steel
Authors: Fuchs J. , Hippenstiel F. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Hot-work tools for hot forming processes, such as die forging, are subject to complex loads that can often lead to premature tool failure. The present study attempts to reduce the main cause of failure of high-speed hot working tools, i. e., wear due to surface breakdown, with the aid of damage-tolerant microstructures. For this purpose, a hot-work tool steel is specifically alloyed with copper in order to form copper precipitations during the subsequent heat treatment, which increase the strength of the material and contribute to the reduction of dislocation movements. The aim is to close the property gap between the standardized direct-hardening and secondary-hardening hot-work tool steels.

Ein Beitrag zur Temperaturpräzisionsmessung durch Drifterkennung an Platin-100-Messwiderständen in Dünnschichttechnologie
Authors: Knechtel Roy , Seyring Martin , Bonitz Björn , Meiselbach Uwe , Irrgang Klaus 
Published: August 2024

Zusammenfassung
Das Driftverhalten von Platin-100-Dünnschicht-Temperatursensoren (Pt100), die mit unterschiedlichen Substratmaterialien aufgebaut sind, wurde untersucht. Dabei wurden die Pt100-Messwiderstände bei einer erhöhten Temperatur von 400 °C über einen Zeitraum von 38 Tagen gealtert. Die zeitliche Veränderung der Widerstandswerte (R
TPW) gemessen am Tripelpunkt des Wassers (T
TPW = 0,01 °C) wurde unter Verwendung einer Tripelpunktzelle aufgenommen. Zusätzlich zu der thermischen Belastung wurde der Einfluss einer hohen elektrischen Dauerstrombelastung mit 10 mA charakterisiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Richtung der Drift, d. h. die Änderung des Widerstandwertes der Pt100-Sensoren, die bei identischen Bedingungen über fortschreitende Lager- und Betriebszeit gemessen wurde, maßgeblich vom jeweils verwendeten Keramiksubstrat abhängt. Pt100-Sensoren mit Magnesiumtitanat-Substrat weisen einen über die Zeit steigenden Widerstandswert auf, während dieser bei Pt100-Sensoren mit Aluminiumoxid-Substrat mit der Zeit fällt. Beide Sensortypen zeigen nach etwa 30 Tagen thermischer Belastung keine weitere signifikante Änderung ihres Widerstandwertes. Für beide Aufbauvarianten der Pt100-Sensoren führt eine zusätzliche elektrisch Belastung trotz großer Ströme zu keinem deutlich anderen Driftverhalten gegenüber den rein thermisch gealterten Sensoren. In der vorliegenden Studie wird nachgewiesen, dass das Differenzsignal der bei thermischer Lagerung gegenläufig driftenden Sensortypen ein signifikantes Maß für die quantitative Überwachung von deren Driftverhalten darstellt. Kombinierte Pt100-Sensoren bestehend aus einem Hauptsensor (geringe Drift) basierend auf einem Magnesiumtitanat-Substrat und einem Hilfssensor auf Aluminiumoxid-Substrat (höhere Drift mit umgekehrten Vorzeichen) erlauben bei beliebigen Temperaturen eine valide Selbstdiagnose anhand des Differenzsignals, das letztlich als Kriterium für den Sensoraustausch oder Anpassungen in der Signalverarbeitungselektronik verwendet werden kann, unabhängig von den konkreten Lager- und Betriebsbedingen.

AbstractAkbar, S, Kim Geok, S, Bashir, M, Jazaily Bin Mohd, NN, Luo, S, and He, S. Effects of different exercise training on physical fitness and technical skills in handball players. A systematic review.J Strength Cond ResXX(X): 000–000, 2024—This review aimed to assess the effects of exercise training on handball players' performance. A thorough search was conducted in 5 online databases (ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus), as well as on Google Scholar and other gray literature references starting on April 11, 2022. The methodological quality of the included research was evaluated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. This systematic review includes 16 studies. Eight studies received “excellent” ratings (≥6 points), 5 received “good” ratings (5 points), and 3 received “moderate” ratings (4 points). The findings showed that the most frequently examined performance factors in exercise training intervention strategies with handball players were balance (n= 5), agility (n= 8), speed (n= 9), and jumping performance (n= 10). Muscular strength (n= 4), shooting and dribbling skill (n= 3), and muscular endurance (n= 4) were the second most frequently investigated performance factors. Regarding speed and agility, exercise training considerably improved the physical fitness of handball players. However, evidence related to muscular strength, shooting ability, and dribbling skills was limited. To achieve the optimum standard, handball players must have strong physical and physiological qualities. Meanwhile, no evidence was found related to the impacts of exercise training on power, endurance, flexibility, body composition, cardiovascular fitness, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Regarding limitations, there is a need for more research with solid evidence to determine the impacts of exercise training interventions on athletes' performance in handball.
The Joint Consequence of Detection Limit Censoring and Detection Limit Determination Uncertainty
Authors: Bzik Thomas J. , Ketkar Suhas N. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Method detection limits estimated from specialized data studies are frequently used as a basis for left censoring reported data. Estimated method detection limits are frequently impacted by the failure to fully mimic all measurement system characteristics represented in process quality data collection. This can result in use of method detection limit estimates in the censoring process that are likely to be biased on the small side. A large set of product quality data analytically provides the substantial combined impact of detection limit censoring in conjunction with common precision and accuracy issues found in classical detection limit estimation processes. A methodology for estimation of practical method detection limits directly from uncensored quality data rather than through a formal detection limit study is provided. The utility and improved accuracy and stability of such practical detection limit estimates versus classically derived detection limits is demonstrated. Guidance is provided with respect to how to approach detection limit censoring whether one chooses to apply it or not to their reported data.
