Comparative analysis of antibiotic susceptibility patterns and clinical features of mucoid and non-mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections: a retrospective study
Authors: Luo Maoling , Li Si , Luo Wenying 
Published: February 2024

BackgroundPseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a prevalent opportunistic pathogen that has close associations with both acute and chronic infections. However, there exists an insufficiency of accurate and comprehensive data pertaining to the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and clinical characteristics of both mucoid and non-mucoid strains of PA (mPA and non-mPA, respectively).MethodsFrom January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, a thorough retrospective study was carried out to examine and compare the antibiotic susceptibility test outcomes and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with mPA and non-mPA infections.ResultsThis study investigated a cohort of 111 patients who were diagnosed with mPA infections, as well as 792 patients diagnosed with non-mPA infections. Significant demographic disparities, including gender (p &lt; 0.001), age (p &lt; 0.001), length of hospital stay (p &lt; 0.001), diabetes (p = 0.043), and hypertension (p &lt; 0.001), are evident between the mPA and non-mPA groups. The mPA group commonly necessitates hospitalization for respiratory system diseases, whereas the non-mPA group is associated with concomitant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The mPA group demonstrates lower utilization rates of medical devices, such as Foley catheter (p &lt; 0.001), nasogastric tube (p &lt; 0.001), mechanical ventilation (p &lt; 0.001), tracheostomy (p &lt; 0.001), arterial and venous catheterization (p &lt; 0.001), and exhibits superior organ function status, including lower incidences of hypoalbuminemia (p &lt; 0.001), septic shock (p &lt; 0.001), liver dysfunction (p &lt; 0.001), renal failure (p &lt; 0.001), and respiratory failure (p &lt; 0.001). The non-mPA group is more vulnerable to infection with two or more bacterial pathogens compared to the mPA group, with the non-mPA group frequently resulting in Enterobacteriaceae infections and the mPA group being associated with fungal infections. Variations in antibiotic sensitivity are noted for Amikacin (p &lt; 0.001), Ciprofloxacin (p &lt; 0.001), Cefepime (p = 0.003), and Levofloxacin (p &lt; 0.001) in antibiotic susceptibility testing, with resistance patterns closely tied to specific antibiotic usage.ConclusionThere are significant demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations and antibiotic susceptibility between mPA and non-mPA infections. It is crucial to emphasize these characteristics due to their significant role in preventing and treating PA infections.

Published: February 2024

Training complex skills is typically accomplished by means of a trainer or mediator who tailors instruction to the individual trainee. However, facilitated training is costly and labor intensive, and the use of a mediator is infeasible in remote or extreme environments. Imparting complex skills in applications like long-duration human spaceflight, military field operations, or remote medicine may require automated training algorithms. Virtual reality (VR) is an effective, easily programmable, immersive training medium that has been used widely across fields. However, there remain open questions in the search for the most effective algorithms for guiding automated training progression. This study investigates the effects of responsiveness, personalization, and subtask independence on the efficacy of automated training algorithms in VR for training complex, operationally relevant tasks. Thirty-two subjects (16M/16F, 18–54 years) were trained to pilot and land a spacecraft on Mars within a VR simulation using four different automated training algorithms. Performance was assessed in a physical cockpit mock-up. We found that personalization results in faster skill acquisition on average when compared with a standardized progression built for a median subject (p = 0.0050). The standardized progression may be preferable when consistent results are desired across all subjects. Independence of the difficulty adjustments between subtasks may lead to increased skill acquisition, while lockstep in the progression of each subtask increases self-reported flow experience (p = 0.01), fluency (p = 0.02), and absorption (p = 0.01) on the Flow Short Scale. Data visualization suggests that highly responsive algorithms may lead to faster learning progressions and higher skill acquisition for some subjects. Improving transfer of skills from training to testing may require either high responsiveness or a standardized training progression. Optimizing the design of automated, individually adaptive algorithms around the training needs of a group may be useful to increase skill acquisition for complex operational tasks.

Published: February 2024

BackgroundDue to improvement in movement performance, post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) may open new possibilities to improve gait performance. However, no study has attempted to translate this phenomenon into walking. Therefore, the study aimed to test whether acute stretching followed by a conditioning exercise can improve subsequent gait performance in healthy adults.Research questionCan an exercise protocol subsequently improve gait performance?MethodsSixteen individuals walked four 10-m trials (in each period) before and after 7 min of an exercise protocol composed of stretching (focusing on the lower limb) and a conditioning exercise (standing calf-raise wearing a vest of 20 kg). Gait spatialtemporal parameters and muscle activity of tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis muscles were obtained by a 3D-motion system and wireless electromyography, respectively. Before and after the exercise protocol, kinematic and muscle activity parameters were compared by a one-way ANOVA and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, respectively.ResultsAfter the exercise protocol, the participants walked with a faster step velocity (p &lt; 0.018) and with a lower step duration (p &lt; 0.025). Also, higher peak muscle activity (p &lt; 0.008) and low-frequency (p &lt; 0.034) activation of the anterior tibial muscle after the exercise protocol were observed.SignificanceIn conclusion, the protocol improves the stability and the muscles’ efficiency during gait, contributing to a new approach to enhancing gait rehabilitation programs
En jouant avec les poupées russes : 88 manuscrits grecs de Gabriel Naudé, dont 50 de Guillaume Sirleto, dont certains de Marcel Cervini, dont 2 d’Ange Colocci
Authors: Cardinali Giacomo 
Published: February 2024

Following traces of purchases made by Gabriel Naudé in Rome, we discovered that, while searching for volumes for his mentor’s, cardinal Julius Mazerino, personal library, he happened to enrich his own collection too with manuscripts from the Altemps dukes. Among them, we found manuscripts previously owned by the Cardinals Sirleto and Cervini : the vast majority of the Greek volumes owned by Naudé show signs of such origin and represents part of the Greek paper copies from the first half of the 16th century currently part of the Parisini graeci
collection of the National French Library.
L’emprunt de Drymos de Phocide à la confédération des Oitaiens
Authors: Rousset Denis 
Published: February 2024

Découvert il y a quelque 140 ans par M. Beaudoin, le document attestant l’emprunt de Drymos à la confédération des Oitaiens est une des plus longues inscriptions de la Phocide antique, et il fut à ce titre souvent reproduit, cité ou commenté dans les recueils dialectologiques et institutionnels et dans les études sur les finances de la Grèce ancienne. En effet, ce document éclaire les rapports entre une cité débitrice et une confédération étrangère, qui est sa créancière ; c’est l’une des rares inscriptions non-delphiques qui touchent à la chronologie de Delphes et des magistrats fédéraux phocidiens, et une source majeure sur la géographie et les institutions de la confédération des Oitaiens, installée autour du mont Oita près des Thermopyles. Cependant, depuis sa publication princeps et sa reproduction presque telle quelle dans les
Inscriptiones graecae IX 1 (1897), nos 226-230, ce document est resté mal établi en raison des conditions de conservation du bloc inscrit. Or, un nouveau déchiffrement, depuis peu devenu possible, permet des progrès sensibles dans la compréhension et la chronologie des opérations de rééchelonnement et de remboursement de la dette, amène à préciser notre connaissance prosopographique des diverses parties prenantes et conduit également à faire justice de l’idée, naguère soutenue, que l’Amphictionie pylaio-delphique ait été peu ou prou mêlée à l’emprunt contracté par la cité de Drymos.
Un diplôme inédit de Hugues Capet, a. 991 : un nouveau dernier diplôme royal franc pour les comtés catalans ?
Authors: Kosto Adam J. 
Published: February 2024

Bien que des historiens aient constaté l’existence d’un diplôme inédit de 991 de Hugues Capet au monastère catalan de Sant Pere de Rodes, confirmation presque
verbatim d’un don antérieur de 953 par Louis IV, personne ne l’avait soumis à une analyse critique. Une telle analyse, que nous offrons ici, ne donne pas de preuves positives qu’il s’agit d’un faux, des points de vue de la date, de la prosopographie, des formules, ou de la typologie documentaire. L’ajout du mot castrum à la description du bien représente une énigme, mais ne constitue pas un argument décisif en faveur ou en défaveur de l’hypothèse de la falsification. L’échec des érudits que l’on sait avoir travaillé dans les archives de Sant Pere de Rodes avant leur disparition au commencement du xixe siècle ne pèse pas non plus, étant donné les aléas de la transmission documentaire. Nous soutenons donc qu’on doit considérer ce diplôme comme authentique. Si nous avons raison, il montre que la série des diplômes royaux francs pour les comtés catalans ne s’arrête pas en 987, ni le contact entre les comtés et la cour royale en 988, comme on le présume généralement – des faits qui ont un poids important dans l’historiographie comme dans la mémoire historique de la Catalogne.
L’inscription sanscrite de Lovek au Cambodge
Authors: Filliozat Pierre-Sylvain 
Published: February 2024

L’inscription sanscrite dite de Lovek, lieu présumé de son origine, a pour objet de relater la donation d’une statue et d’un palanquin à un temple dans Dviradapura au Cambodge par Śaṃkara Paṇḍita, chapelain des trois grands rois du royaume khmer qui ont rempli presque tout le xie siècle de notre ère, Sūryavarman Ier (1002-1050), Udayā-dityavarman II (1050-1066), Harṣavarman III (1066-1080). L’acte de donation est formulé dans la dernière strophe du texte en sanscrit, puis en khmer dans un appendice énumérant toutes les donations pieuses faites par le donateur au cours de sa longue carrière de chapelain royal. Cela est précédé d’un long panégyrique du personnage et de sa famille, dont plusieurs membres de génération en génération au long de trois siècles (du ixe au xie), ont exercé d’importantes fonctions à la cour royale. La charge la plus haute, et la plus influente, parce que la plus proche du pouvoir, a été celle de guru, aussi appelé hotṛ ou purohita,
maître dirigeant les rites royaux et conseiller personnel du roi. Il devait avoir une compétence dans trois domaines, pratique du rituel, érudition en langue, littérature et scolastique sanscrites, service du dharma,
bon ordre en morale, droit et coutume profane et religieuse. Śaṃkara Paṇḍita fut le
guru accompli dans les trois sphères. La conception théologique et l’ordonnan-cement du temple-montagne du Baphuon doivent lui être attribués aux côtés de Sūryavarman Ier et Udayādityavarman II. Il officia lors de la grande cérémonie d’installation d’un Liṅga d’or dans le sanctuaire sommital du Baphuon, qui est le second monument en taille, complexité et prestige après Angkor Vat. Ce texte est composé dans le style de la poésie savante sanscrite. Il est manifeste qu’une inscription sanscrite est composée au Cambodge, comme en Inde, avec égalité de méthode et d’esprit. Mais l’application des con-naissances issues des sources indiennes dans la pratique religieuse et dans les arts au Cambodge est manifestement khmère. Il n’en reste pas moins que la grandeur et la beauté de la conception, comme de la réalisation, sont également partagées entre la stèle inscrite et le monument. Une bonne approche des inscriptions sanscrites du pays khmer est sans conteste la confrontation du texte avec la discipline sanscrite de l’ornementation poétique (alaṃkāraśāstra)
et la littérature religieuse tantrique de l’école du Śaivasiddhānta.

Authors: ZAPOROZHCHENKO M.B. , BULHAR A.V. 
Published: February 2024

Purpose. To study the prevalence and forms of adenomyosis for women of reproductive age after COVID-19, to study pathomorphological changes in the uterine tissues of women of reproductive age with adenomyosis after COVID-19.
Materials and methods. We examined 114 patients of reproductive age who underwent hysterectomy for various pathologies. Of these, 40 patients (35%) in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic, and during the pandemic in 2021 - 36 patients (31.6%), in 2022 - 38 (33.4%) patients.
Results. The study found that the total number of histologically confirmed adenomyosis in patients of reproductive age increased from 55% in 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) to 66.6% and 71% in 2021 and 2022, respectively; the number of diffuse adenomyosis increased significantly from 12.5% in 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) to 41.6% and 47.4% in 2021 and 2022, respectively; the percentage of diffuse adenomyosis in relation to other forms of adenomyosis increased from 22.7% in 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) to 62.5% and 66.6% in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Given the increase in the prevalence of adenomyosis in the post-COVID period compared to the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, we studied pathomorphological changes in the basal layer of the endometrium and the inner layer of the myometrium that correlated with the clinical features of the disease in the patients who participated in the study. The study included cases with histologically confirmed adenomyosis Pathologically detected changes in the endometrium and inner layer of the myometrium in adenomyosis after COVID-19, namely the line of separation between the endometrium and myometrium is unclear, vessels in the form of clusters, thickwalled, narrowed lumen, edema between fibers, edema between fibers and around vessels, thickening of the vessel wall and narrowing of the lumen, pronounced revascularization, the presence of myxomatous edema, foci of hemosiderosis in the interstitial tissue, thrombosis of vessels of different caliber with hemorrhages, and microcirculatory disorders.
Conclusion. The results obtained indicate that after COVID-19 disease, the total number of histologically detected adenomyosis in women of reproductive age increased, and the number of diffuse adenomyosis increased. Characteristic changes occurred in the uterine tissue at the border of the endometrium and myometrium, which are morphologically confirmed.

Published: February 2024

Purpose. To determine signs of placental dysfunction, to assess the condition of the fetus and newborn in case of Covid-19, transferred to a woman during any.
Materials and methods. 50 pregnant women with a severe course of Covid-19 (group 1) and 150 pregnant women with moderate severity of the disease (group 2) were examined. The control group consisted of 50 pregnant women who did not suffer from Covid-19. The state of uterine-placental-fetal blood flow was determined by the Doppler method. To assess the condition of the fetus, a cardiotocogram was recorded, cardiotocogram analysis was performed according to the Dawes/Redman criteria, and the biophysical profile of the fetus was established. Pathomorphological examination of the placenta was conducted.
Results. Established placental insufficiency in most cases (72.0%) of patients with a severe course of Covid-19, supports the growth of the fetus and its distress in 32.0% and 48.0% of women. The results of dopplerometry at 32-34 weeks revealed significant violations of maternal-placental-fetal blood flow. A decrease in the pulsatility index in the middle cerebral artery of the fetus and cerebro-placental ratio indicates the centralization of fetal blood flow in response to hypoxia. When the status of the fetus is reduced, a reduced assessment of the biophysical profile of the fetus is indicated (6.69±0.30). According to the Dawes/Redman criteria, fetal protein acidemia occurred in 48.0% of patients, critical condition - in 8.0% of pregnant women. Pathomorphological examination of the placenta reveals violations of various structures in the form of degenerative and alterative-degenerative changes, dysmucoidosis, circulatory disorders, damage to the endothelium and thrombus formation, ischemia, infarction, and vasculitis. Signs of chorioamnionitis are found in 18.0% of placentas. 44.0% of children are born asphyxiated, 36.0% have respiratory failure, and 16.0% have bilateral pneumonia. High frequency of neurological disorders (56.0%), gastrointestinal (50.0%), hypoglycemic (34.0%) and hemorrhagic (32.0%) syndromes. 22.0% of children needed care in the intensive care unit. Perinatal mortality was 0.4 ‰.
Conclusion. Сhildren born to women whose pregnancy complicated their SARS-CoV-2 infection belong to the high-risk group and require final follow-up to monitor the status of developed clear care algorithms depending on the condition.
ESPACIALIZAÇÃO DAS REDES DE ATENÇÃO À SAÚDE: ANÁLISE DOS FLUXOS ESTABELECIDOS NA CIDADE DO RECIFE/PE
Authors: Bastos Priscila Felix 
Published: February 2024

Um dos grandes desafios enfrentados na gestão da saúde pública comprometida com a atenção integral reside na organização dos serviços em rede e territorialmente estabelecidos. O considerável incremento do acesso da população à Estratégia de Saúde da Família é considerado um avanço no cuidado implementado na Atenção Básica. No entanto, este acréscimo trouxe à tona a importância de uma melhor gestão dos serviços nos demais níveis de atenção, visto que significou uma maior exigência desta rede. Assim, o presente artigo cogita empreender uma apreciação da espacialização das redes de atenção à saúde no contexto territorial do Recife, Pernambuco, por meio da análise os padrões de deslocamento dos pacientes encaminhados pela atenção básica para os serviços de saúde mais especializados. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e questionários aplicados às equipes de profissionais e usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde da cidade do Recife. Por meio da análise aqui empreendida, numa escala local, foi possível perceber que mesmo nestes territórios que apresentam uma maior diversidade e aparente disponibilidade destes serviços de uso frequente, como o caso do Recife, ainda há lacunas que expõem a insuficiência do sistema de atendimento atualmente estabelecido.
A time-delayed physical reservoir with various time constants
Authors: Yamazaki Yutaro , Kinoshita Kentaro 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Physical reservoir computing has been attracting attention in recent years. However, it remains unclear how much nonlinearity is required in the physical dynamics to achieve a high computational performance. Therefore, we focused on a resistor–capacitor circuit, which exhibits simple transient characteristics, and investigated the performance required for a physical reservoir. As a result, the proposed reservoir shows a high performance for time series prediction tasks and can be used as a computational resource even without high nonlinearity in the physical dynamics. These results are expected to help establish design guidelines that support the hardware implementation of physical reservoirs.
Realization of low specific-contact-resistance on N-polar GaN surfaces using heavily-Ge-doped n-type GaN films deposited by low-temperature reactive sputtering technique

Abstract
We developed a low-temperature ohmic contact formation process for N-polar GaN surfaces. Specific-contact-resistances of 9.4 × 10−5 and 2.0 × 10−5 Ω cm2 were obtained using Ti/Al metal stacks on heavily-germanium-doped GaN films, which were deposited at 500 °C and 600 °C using a radical-assisted reactive sputtering method, respectively. The electrode sintering temperature was as low as 475 °C. Carrier concentrations for the 500 °C and 600 °C samples were 2.6 × 1020 and 1.8 × 1020 cm−3, respectively. These results suggest that this method is highly effective in reducing the contact resistance of GaN devices with low thermal budgets.
