Published: April 2024

IntroductionOryza alta Swallen is an allotetraploid perennial wild rice and contains CCDD genome, which may harbor favorable genes for the enrichment of genetic resource.MethodsA new wild rice line, Huaye 5, was developed from Oryza alta Swallen in our lab. Whole genome re-sequencing and pan-genomic analysis were employed to analyze its genomic variations and novel genes.Results and DiscussionMore than ten million genomic variations were detected when compared with Asian cultivar. Among the variational genes, 724, 197 and 710 genes coded protein kinase, synthetase and transcription factor, respectively. A total of 353, 131 and 135 variational genes were associated with morphological trait, physiological trait, resistance or tolerance, respectively. A total of 62 were NBS-LRR genes were detected, in which 11 NBS-LRR genes expressed in sheath and mature stem, and 26 expressed in young and mature roots expressed. The pan-genome sequences of wild rice species with CCDD genome were constructed by integrating 8 Oryza alta (OA), 2 Oryza grandiglumis (OG) and 18 Oryza latifolia (OL) accessions. A total of 28 non-reference NBS-LRR genes were revealed, and 7 of which were mainly expressed in mature roots. This research demonstrated rich DNA variation in the Oryza alta Swallen that may provide a new germplasm for rice resistance breeding.

Published: April 2024

IntroductionTheory of mind (ToM) refers to the ability to understand and attribute mental states to oneself and others. A ToM measure is warranted for preschool children to assess their ToM development from a multidimensional perspective (i.e., cognitive and affective dimensions). This study aimed to develop the Preschool Theory of Mind Assessment (ToMA-P) and to evaluate its construct validity and applicability.MethodsThe ToMA-P was developed based on comprehensive literature review and revised with expert panel feedback. Its psychometric properties were evaluated in 205 typically developing preschoolers with Rasch analysis for its dimensionality, item difficulties, and convergent validity.ResultsThe results indicated that all ToMA-P items, except for one, fit the hypothesized two-dimensional construct. The item difficulties in the cognitive and affective dimensions followed developmental sequences. The ToMA-P scores exhibited good convergent validity, as evidenced by its significant correlations with age, verbal comprehension, adaptive functions, and daily ToM performance (p &lt; 0.05). Children’s responses and behaviors also showed that the ToMA-P has good applicability.DiscussionThis study provides empirical evidence that the ToMA-P measures cognitive and affective ToM following developmental sequences, and that it has potential as a clinical tool for assessing ToM in preschool children.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a multifaceted impact on maternal and child services and adversely influenced pregnancy outcomes. This systematic review aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to and delivery of maternal and child healthcare services in low- and middle-income countries.MethodsThe review was reported following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A primary search of electronic databases was performed using a combination of search terms related to the following areas of interest: “impact’ AND ‘COVID-19’ AND ‘maternal and child health services’ AND ‘low- and middle-income countries. A narrative synthesis approach was used to analyse and integrate the results.ResultsOverall, 45 unique studies conducted across 28 low- and middle-income countries met the inclusion criteria for the review. The findings suggest the number of family planning visits, antenatal and postnatal care visits, consultations for sick children, paediatric emergency visits and child immunisation levels decreased compared to the pre-pandemic levels in the majority of included studies. An analytical framework including four main categories was developed based on the concepts that emerged from included studies: the anxiety of not knowing (1), overwhelmed healthcare systems (2), challenges perceived by healthcare professionals (3) and difficulties perceived by service users (4).ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic disrupted family planning services, antenatal and postnatal care coverage, and emergency and routine child services. Generalised conclusions are tentative due to the heterogeneity and inconsistent quality of the included studies. Future research is recommended to define the pandemic’s impact on women and children worldwide and prepare healthcare systems for future resurgences of COVID-19 and potential challenges beyond.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO (CRD42021285178).

An Unwanted but Long-Known Company: Post-Viral Symptoms in the Context of Past Pandemics in Switzerland (and Beyond)
Authors: Staub Kaspar , Ballouz Tala , Puhan Milo 
Published: April 2024

Objectives: Some people do not fully recover from an acute viral infection and experience persistent symptoms or incomplete recovery for months or even years. This is not unique to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and history shows that post-viral conditions like post COVID-19 condition, also referred to as Long Covid, are not new. In particular, during and after pandemics caused by respiratory viruses in which large parts of the population were infected or exposed, professional and public attention was increased, not least because of the large number of people affected.Methods: Given the current relevance of the topic, this article aims to narratively review and summarize the literature on post-viral symptoms during past pandemics and to supplement and illustrate it with Swiss examples from the pandemics of 1890, 1918–1920 and later.Results: Post-viral diseases were an increasingly emphasised health topic during and after past pandemics triggered by respiratory infections over the last 150 years.Conclusion: In the next pandemic, it should not be surprising that post-viral conditions will again play a role, and pandemic plans should reflect this.

Published: April 2024

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major public health problems worldwide. This study aimed to detect the presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-(ESBL-)producing Escherichia (E.) coli in chicken meat in Istanbul, Türkiye. Raw chicken meat samples (n = 208) were collected from different sale points and analyzed for ESBL-producing E. coli. In total, 101 (48.5%) isolates were confirmed as E. coli by PCR, of which 80/101 (79.2%) demonstrated multiple antibiotic resistance. Resistance against amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was most frequent (87.1%). Eighteen isolates (17.8%) demonstrated phenotypical ESBL resistance, as assessed by the double disc synergy test (DDST). Isolates were tested for the presence of β-lactamase genes and mobilized colistin-resistant genes. The blaTEM group was most frequently detected (97.02%), followed by blaCTX m (45.5%), blaSHV (9.9%), and blaOXA-2 (0.9%). However, mcr genes and blaNDM, blaKPC, blaVIM, and blaOXA-48 genes were not found in any isolate. E. coli strains were tested for biofilm formation in six different media [Nutrient broth, LB broth, Tryptone Soya broth (TSB), TSB containing 1% sucrose, TSB containing 0.6% yeast extract, and BHI]. Biofilm formation by E. coli isolates (44/101, 43.5%) was highest in TSB with 1% sucrose. It is worth noting that all biofilm-producing isolates were found to harbor the blaTEM-1 gene, which can indicate a high level of antibiotic resistance. This is the first report about ESBL-producing E. coli in poultry meat, the exposure of consumers in Istanbul metropolitan areas, and the ability of E. coli from this region to produce biofilms.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Numerous studies have shown that giving magnesium sulphate intravenously before carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum is produced reduces the adverse hemodynamic response in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Objective: To examine the effects on hemodynamics in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy between magnesium sulphate and normal saline.
Methodology:The Department of Anaesthesia at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, SZABMU, Islamabad, conducted a Randomised Clinical Trial. The study involved the enrolment of 108 adult patients, regardless of gender, who were admitted for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and ranged in age from 18 to 65. Every patient who was enrolled was in ΑSΑ classes I and II. Patients were randomised equally to Group M, which received an IV slow bolus of magnesium sulphate (28 mg/kg) over a 20-minute period, and Group N, which received a 0.9% normal saline solution. The patient was tilted right and up by 15 degrees.
Results:Both groups' baseline characteristics were comparable. The mean age of groups M and N was 42.2 years ± 7.6SD and 40.5 years ± 8.4SD, respectively (Ρ-value t-test=0.258). 22 (40.7%) men and 32 (59.3%) women made up group M, while 20 (37.0%) men and 34 (63.0%) women made up group N (Ρ-value chi-square = 0.693). Both groups' baseline and pre-pneumoperitoneum hemodyanamic parameters (HR, Systolic, BΡ, Diastolic BΡ, and MAΡ) were similar (Ρ-value t-test > 0.05).
Conclusions:The adverse hemodynamic response caused by pneumoperitoneum was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with intravenous magnesium sulphate. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and MTH were all significantly lower than baseline. Significant hypotension and bradycardia, however, were not seen.

Abstract:
Background
Pakistan and the rest of the world suffer from a high rate of acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs). In this study, we employed a machine learning model to predict mortality in patients with AMI patients. By analyzing various variables, they assessed the impact of these factors on the predictive models, highlighting the potential of machine learning in improving mortality prediction and informing clinical decision-making in AMI cases.
Method
This study conducted three experiments using a Kaggle dataset to predict mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients with machine learning. Relevant input features were selected, and three models (SVM, DT, KNN) classified mortality status. Model performance was rigorously evaluated with metrics like Accuracy, AUC, Precision, Recall, and F1-score. Data preprocessing, including handling missing values and normalization, preceded model training.
Results
Among the evaluated models, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) exhibited the highest accuracy of approximately 87.66% and demonstrated robust discrimination capabilities, with an AUC score of 0.796. Precision, recall, and F1-scores indicated a balanced trade-off between correctly identifying negative outcomes and effectively capturing positive cases.
Conclusion
The SVM model emerged as the most promising classifier, showcasing strong potential for predicting patient mortality in the context of AMI. However, further refinements and optimizations may be necessary to enhance model performance, ensuring its clinical relevance and utility in real-world medical scenarios.

Published: April 2024

Salud Militar es un símbolo que permanece hace 25 años.
La apariencia externa de un símbolo encubre una significación mucho más amplia. El médico y erudito español Félix Martí Ibáñez en las páginas de una icónica revista de humanidades médicas (1) nos recuerda que los símbolos cumplen también un ciclo vital. Nacen, se desarrollan, pueden sufrir diversas afecciones que los lleven a la muerte. Salud Militar es un símbolo que ha permanecido indemne pese a sus transformaciones, porque se han conservado sus principios básicos. Sostenida por el apoyo permanente de las sucesivas Direcciones Nacionales conscientes de su importancia y evolucionando gracias a la tarea lúcida e infatigable de las misiones ejecutivas editoriales, es conducida a la excelencia como lo traducen la inclusión en índices y catálogos internacionales (Latindex, Imbiomed, Actualidad Iberoamericana, DRJI, AURA, Redib, Defensa digital: repositorio de publicaciones de Defensa iberoamericanas) y la más reciente implementación de la plataforma de edición Open Journal System para la edición en formato electrónico, sobreviviendo aún a la eliminación de la edición en papel, cuya conservación muchos defendemos.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
One of the challenges in the peach palm production system is the interpretation of leaf analyses and the adaptation of fertilization recommendations. Tools that enhance fertilizer use efficiency are therefore needed. This study aimed to establish norms for evaluating the nutrient status of peach palms using the Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) and to determine the adequate number of palm heart samples necessary for a more accurate assessment of productivity. Production, leaf nutrient content, and soil fertility data were collected from 102 commercial stands of peach palm in the Ribeira Valley, state of São Paulo, Brazil, between 2015 and 2020. Adequate number of individual samples (palm hearts) to be collected per stand for productivity assessment was estimated. DRIS norms were established by dividing the database into high-yield (reference population) and low-yield subpopulations, using average productivity as a criterion. By assuming an acceptable error of 5 to 10 % for the assessment of peach palm productivity, taking into account total palm heart weight and/or the weight of cylinders, respectively, 16 plants per stand should be sampled. DRIS was not sensitive enough to diagnose differences in the probability of positive response to fertilization; however, the P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn contents were positively correlated with the respective nutrient indices.

Analysis of Performance Improvement of Planar Antenna Arrays With Optimized Square Rings for Massive MIMO Applications
Authors: Mohammed Jafar Ramadhan , Khamees Abdulrazaq A. 
Published: April 2024

The power pattern of the conventional fully optimized planar arrays can be properly reshaped according to the required user-defined constraints. However, the practical implementation of such fully optimized large planar arrays is complex and expensive. This paper introduces a new and efficient technique that is capable of providing better performance and almost the same power pattern shapes as that of the conventional fully optimized planar arrays by optimally adjusting the element amplitude and phase excitations of the outer-square rings instead of all elements' excitations. The proposed technique starts with a massive fully planar array then divides it into two contiguous sub-planar arrays which are both symmetric about the original array center. The elements excitation amplitudes or phases of the outer sub-planar array are only adjusted to form the desired power pattern shapes, while the amplitudes or phases of the central sub-planar array elements which have usually higher weights than the outer elements are made constants (i.e., they made ones for the case of amplitude-only control and zeros for the phase-only control). The results demonstrate the capability of the proposed planar array to form the required power patterns with far less number of the adjustable elements.
