Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common diseases caused by bacteria during pregnancy, and it can create serious consequences for both the fetus and the mother, necessitating early detection and prevention of problems. The study aimed to isolate and identify urinary tract infections bacteria among pregnant women at the Benghazi Medical Centre. Initially, a sectional descriptive design was used on 200 pregnant women who attended the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic at the Benghazi Medical Centre from June 2018 to October 2018. A purposive sample was employed to collect data utilizing a structured interviewing questionnaire and laboratory test records. Bacterial infection during pregnancy was more frequent within the age range of 25 to 35 years with 25 out of 44 patients (56.8%). The second trimester of pregnancy was the time period most related to the infection with 23 patients (52.3%). The results also showed that housewives were more susceptible to the infection (28 patients; 63.6%). Several varieties of bacteria were related to UTIs during pregnancy including Escherichia coli (56.8%), which was the most frequently isolated pathogen followed by S. aureus (25%), Enterococcus (9.1%), Klebsiella (6.8%) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (2.3%). Antibiotic sensitivity revealed that the response to antibiotics was variable; most of the isolated pathogens were sensitive to the tested antibiotics specifically to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. The isolated bacteria that were sensitive to all the used antibiotics included Escherichia coli and S. saprophyticus. Antibiotic resistance was increasingly seen in amoxicillin, azithromycin, and erythromycin. To avoid UTIs during pregnancy and the complications of infection, which could lead to fetal loss, all pregnant women should be routinely screened for UTIs with urine culture and treated with the appropriate antibiotics as needed as well as reducing the risk of developing a urinary tract infection by increasing the level of cultural awareness. Women confront double dangers with UTIs; the danger of the disease and the risk of anti-microbial treatment. Pre-natal connection to the baby is highlight when preparing to make this choice, weighing both the shorter-term risks from UTIs and the longer-term dangers from anti-microbial use, particularly the chance of AMR.

Abstract
The ongoing and forthcoming surveys will result in an unprecedented increase in the number of observed galaxies. As a result, data-driven techniques are now the primary methods for analyzing and interpreting this vast amount of information. While deep learning using computer vision has been the most effective for galaxy morphology recognition, there are still challenges in efficiently representing spatial and multi-scale geometric features in practical survey images. In this paper, we incorporate layer attention and deformable convolution into a convolutional neural network (CNN) to bolster its spatial feature and geometric transformation modeling capabilities. Our method was trained and tested on seven classifications of a data set from Galaxy Zoo DECaLS, achieving a classification accuracy of 94.5%, precision of 94.4%, recall of 94.2%, and an F1 score of 94.3% using macroscopic averaging. Our model outperforms traditional CNNs, offering slightly better results while substantially reducing the number of parameters and training time. We applied our method to Data Release 9 of the Legacy Surveys and present a galaxy morphological classification catalog including approximately 71 million galaxies and the probability of each galaxy to be categorized as Round, In-between, Cigar-shaped, Edge-on, Spiral, Irregular, and Error. The code detailing our proposed model and the catalog are publicly available in doi:10.5281/zenodo.10018255 and GitHub (https://github.com/kustcn/legacy_galaxy).
Reflection from Inclined, Relativistic Light Sails
Authors: Bari Refath 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
We present a new formula for relativistic reflection of solar radiation from a light sail moving at a velocity v inclined at an arbitrary angle θ, using an elementary two-body analysis. The formula is shown to reduce to the formulas of Euclid, Einstein, and Gjurchinovski in the relevant limits. Our results are of relevance for computing optimal geometries for relativistic light sails.
Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Generation by Flux Cancellation Reconnection
Authors: Pontin D. I. , Priest E. R. , Chitta L. P. , Titov V. S. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we propose that flux cancellation on small granular scales (≲1000 km) ubiquitously drives reconnection at a multitude of sites in the low solar atmosphere, contributing to chromospheric/coronal heating and the generation of the solar wind. We analyze the energy conversion in these small-scale flux cancellation events using both analytical models and three-dimensional, resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The analytical models—in combination with the latest estimates of flux cancellation rates—allow us to estimate the energy release rates due to cancellation events, which are found to be on the order 106–107 erg cm−2 s−1, sufficient to heat the chromosphere and corona of the quiet Sun and active regions, and to power the solar wind. The MHD simulations confirm the conversion of energy in reconnecting current sheets, in a geometry representing a small-scale bipole being advected toward an intergranular lane. A ribbon-like jet of heated plasma that is accelerated upward could also escape the Sun as the solar wind in an open-field configuration. We conclude that through two phases of atmospheric energy release—precancellation and cancellation—the cancellation of photospheric magnetic flux fragments and the associated magnetic reconnection may provide a substantial energy and mass flux contribution to coronal heating and solar wind generation.
The Carbon-deficient Evolution of TRAPPIST-1c

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Transiting planets orbiting M dwarfs provide the best opportunity to study the atmospheres of rocky planets with current facilities. As JWST enters its second year of science operations, an important initial endeavor is to determine whether these rocky planets have atmospheres at all. M dwarfs are thought to pose a major threat to planetary atmospheres due to their high magnetic activity over timescales of several billion years, and might completely strip atmospheres. Several Cycle 1 and 2 General Observers and Guaranteed Time Observations programs are testing this hypothesis, observing a series of rocky planets to determine whether they retained their atmospheres. A key case study is TRAPPIST-1c, which receives almost the same bolometric flux as Venus. We might therefore expect TRAPPIST-1c to possess a thick, CO2-dominated atmosphere. Instead, Zieba et al. show that it has little to no CO2 in its atmosphere. To interpret these results, we run coupled time-dependent simulations of planetary outgassing and atmospheric escape to model the evolution of TRAPPIST-1c's atmosphere. We find that the stellar wind stripping that is expected to occur on TRAPPIST-1c over its lifetime can only remove up to ∼16 bar of CO2, less than the modern CO2 inventory of either Earth or Venus. Therefore, we infer that TRAPPIST-1c either formed volatile-poor, as compared to Earth and Venus, or lost a substantial amount of CO2 during an early phase of hydrodynamic hydrogen escape. Finally, we scale our results for the other TRAPPIST-1 planets, finding that the more distant TRAPPIST-1 planets may readily retain atmospheres.

Cet article est né de la rencontre de deux amis curieux, passionnés d’AT, de science et philosophiquement proches de la zététique (l’art du doute). Son objectif : Au cours de cette conversation, François et Bernard vont tenter de répondre à quelques questions. En général et dans notre pratique de l’AT : Qu’est-ce au juste qu’une croyance ? Qu’est-ce qu’une pensée magique ? Comment se distinguent-elles ? Que peut faire en pratique un analyste transactionnel avec ces notions ? Par ailleurs, l’AT peut-elle être considérée comme « scientifique » ?
Von Kios nach Kimiata. Neue Überlegungen zur Chronologie des Mithradates von Kios und des Mithradates Ktistes sowie zur Gründung des Mithradatidenreiches
Authors: Coşkun Altay 
Published: December 2023

Mithridate de Cius et son fils Mithridate I er Ctistes sont les « pères fondateurs » du royaume pontique, ainsi que le lien du dernier Mithridate avec la dynastie achéménide. Notre principale source d’information sur leur vie est Diodore (XVI, 90, 2; XIX, 40, 2; XX, 111, 4) : il donne des dates archontiques pour le début (337/36 avant J.-C.) et la fin (302/1 avant J.-C.) du règne de l’aîné Mithridate et compte également les années de son règne et de celui de son fils comme étant respectivement de 35 et 36. Ces petites incohérences s’expliquent aisément. Elles ne doivent donc pas être utilisées pour saper l’autorité de Diodore en ce qui concerne l’événement crucial pour la légende de la fondation de la dynastie : la fuite du jeune Mithridate de Cius à Cimiata (Strabon, XII, 3, 41). Certains chercheurs ont récemment suggéré que la fuite remontait à 314 avant J.-C., mais ils s’appuient sur le récit romancé attesté par Plutarque ( Démétrios , 4) et Appien ( Mithridatica , IX, 27-29), dont les tendances pro-Antigonides sont transparentes. George Syncellus (523), qui précise que le règne des rois mithridatides du Pont a duré 218 ans et s’est étendu sur dix générations (qui semblent inclure Pharnaces II et Darius), apporte des éclaircissements supplémentaires. Cela ne situe pas la prise du diadème après la mort de Séleucos i er en 281 avant J.-C., comme on le pense généralement, mais en 283/82 avant J.-C., lorsque le conflit entre Lysimaque et son ancien allié Séleucos a commencé à s’envenimer.
La lutte contre la dissidence dans l’armée de l’Air de Vichy 1940 - 1942
Authors: Le Bras Bertrand 
Published: December 2023

L’armistice de juin 1940 prévoyait la quasi-disparition de l’armée de l’Air. Cela n’eut pas lieu puisque, à la suite de Mers el-Kébir, près de 50 % de ses unités furent maintenues pour assurer la « défense de l’Empire ». Cette survie ne tenait qu’au bon-vouloir des occupants, toute velléité de rejoindre les forces de la France libre pouvant être prétexte à des représailles sur les forces ainsi préservées. C’est dans ce contexte que les chefs de l’armée de l’Air mirent en place un ensemble de mesures pour entraver les départs vers ce qu’on appelait alors la dissidence et développèrent un arsenal répressif pour punir ceux qui avaient tenté leur chance. L’ensemble permit aux autorités de s’assurer de la loyauté de la grande majorité des aviateurs jusqu’à la disparition de l’armée de l’Air à la fin de 1942.

Quand Donna Haraway rencontre Lynn Margulis
Authors: Grandjean Nathalie 
Published: December 2023

Cet article tire quelques fils de l’influence des travaux de Lynn Margulis dans les écrits de Donna Haraway. Partant de leur sortie commune de l’exceptionnalisme humain, l’article explore d’abord comment la symbiogenèse de Lynn Margulis permet à Donna Haraway de proposer le concept d’espèces compagnes et de zones de contact ; puis comment Donna Haraway fabrique le concept de sympoïèse, en hommage à Lynn Margulis, de manière à prolonger des intuitions communes sur les dimensions bizarres et inattendues des origines du vivant et des espèces compagnes.
L’État de droit et les incitations économiques dans la crise des valeurs
Authors: Mavrouli Roïla 
Published: December 2023

La multiplication des arrêts rendus par la Cour de Justice de l’Union européenne ainsi que des mécanismes de lutte contre la crise de l’État de droit vise une dimension particulière de l’État de droit en dépit de sa nature protéiforme, à savoir l’indépendance de la justice. Cette lutte se concrétise par le Règlement dit Conditionnalité État de droit ainsi que par des mécanismes technomanagériaux tels que le Semestre européen, la Facilité pour la reprise et la résilience et les Fonds structurels et d’investissement européens. Tandis que les sanctions financières tendant au rétablissement de l’État de droit ont reçu une série de critiques, elles ne sont pas pour autant chose nouvelle ; elles feraient suite à la prohibition de la guerre proclamée par le pacte Briand-Kellogg grâce à la maxime « plus jamais la guerre », qui fait naître un « nouvel ordre juridique ». Si les sanctions économiques deviennent le moyen standard d’application des règles européennes, celles-ci demeurent aléatoires quant à la recherche d’une protection efficace de valeurs communes.

Published: December 2023

Purpose:
The present study aimed to evaluate radiation exposure to staff performing coronary flow reserve (CFR) measurement using 13N-ammonia.

Materials and Methods:
The radiation exposure rate during the administration of 13N-ammonia for the rest and stress part of the study was noted using an ionization chamber-based calibrated survey monitor. The radiation exposure to persons involved in dispensing radioactivity (D1), administering radioactivity (D2) and monitoring the patient during pharmacological stress (D3) were measured using an energy compensated Si-diode personal pocket dosimeter.

Results:
The average dose received by individuals with dosimeters D1, D2, and D3 was 1.28 ± 0.79 µSv, 1.56 ± 0.51 µSv, and 0.88 ± 0.97 µSv per injection, respectively, during the rest of study and 1.56 ± 0.96 µSv, 2.64 ± 1.22 µSv, and 2.2 ± 1.7 µSv per injection, respectively, during stress study. The average exposure rate during the administration of 13N-ammonia at 0.5 m and 1.5 m from the injection site was found to be 259 µSv/h and 53.4 µSv/h, respectively, during the rest study and 301 µSv/h and 67.25 µSv/h, respectively, during stress study.

Conclusion:
The exposure to the staff performing CFR study with 13N-ammonia was well within prescribed limits by the International Commission on Radiological Protection 103. The CFR measurement with 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography/computed tomography can be included in routine workups of cardiac patients without the fear of radiation exposure.

Published: December 2023

Purpose of the Study:
The purpose of this study was to assess the association of measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) using camera-based method with early transplant outcomes.

Methodology:
Diethylenetriamine pentaacetate renograms of all voluntary kidney donors between January 2016 and December 2022 at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, India, were retrieved for the study. Recipients’ posttransplant biochemical parameters were collected and compared against donors with scaled mGFR >80 ml/min/1.73 m2 (Group 1) and with mGFR between 60 and 80 ml/min/1.73 m2 (Group 2). Donor–recipient pair age, anthropometric parameters, and their differences were also assessed against the immediate transplant outcome. Posttransplant immediate graft function was assessed by posttransplant nadir serum creatinine, day to achieve nadir serum creatinine, the incidence of slow graft or delayed graft function, and serum creatinine at 1-month posttransplantation. Recipients with serum creatinine of >2.5 mg/dl on posttransplant day 7 were taken as slow graft function.

Results:
A total of 161 donor–recipient pairs were analyzed in the study. In recipients who showed persistently high serum creatinine posttransplant, older donor age(p < 0.001), higher difference in body mass index among the donor–recipient pair (p= 0.03), and mGFR <80ml/min (p < 0.001) were significantly associated. Slow graft function was significantly more in Group II recipients, with donors having mGFR <80ml/min as compared to Group I with mGFR >80 ml/min (37.3% vs. 10.6%) (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
Camera-based mGFR using Gates’ formula is a reliable tool to predict inferior graft outcomes in the immediate posttransplant period. Kidneys from donors with mGFR of 60–80 mL/min/1.73 m2 are likely to experience slow graft function in the immediate posttransplant period.
Agreement between Thai Cardiovascular Risk Scores and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Exploring Associations and Clinical Implications
Authors: Phuangmali Kitwiwat , Sukprakun Chanan 
Published: December 2023

Purpose:
This study aimed to assess the agreement between the Thai cardiovascular (CV) risk score or pretest probability (PTP), and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), and to explore the association between abnormal MPI results and higher Thai CV risk scores or PTP risk.

Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted between March 2017 and December 2021, and included 128 patients. Myocardial perfusion gated single photon emission computed tomography imaging was performed on all patients, and agreement between the Thai CV risk score, PTP, and MPI was measured using weighted Cohen’s kappa statistic. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) and explore the association.

Results:
Fair agreement was observed between MPI and the Thai CV risk score (κ =0.269, P = 0.010), including patients with clinical chest pain (κ =0.367, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis of patients with intermediate PTP revealed moderate agreement between MPI and the Thai CV risk score (κ =0.428, P = 0.002). Patients with intermediate (OR = 3.25, P = 0.010) or high (OR = 4.78, P = 0.001) Thai CV risk scores had significantly higher odds of having intermediate or high MPI results compared to those with low Thai CV risk scores.

Conclusion:
This study highlights the agreement between MPI and the Thai CV risk score and PTP. Higher Thai CV risk scores are associated with increased odds of abnormal MPI results. These findings provide valuable insights for clinical decision-making and patient management.
Innovative techniques and concepts in surgical management of Charcot foot deformities
Authors: Weatherby Paul J. , Harper Jacob , Panchbhavi Vinod K. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
There is a growing interest in the surgical treatment of Charcot foot arthropathy following the increase in the prevalence of diabetes. The current gold standard of treatment is total contact casting for early deformity, but in recent years, surgery has been performed earlier in the disease process to create a clinically and radiographically plantigrade foot, with the aim of preventing or treating skin ulceration. This review article focused on types of surgical treatment and outcomes associated with each treatment option. Surgical correction consists of ostectomy, tendo-Achilles lengthening, soft tissue releases, and midfoot osteotomies. Arthrodesis can be performed with internal or external fixation or a combination of the two. The purpose of this review article is to review modern surgical techniques for the management of Charcot midfoot deformities. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases using the following search terms: “Charcot arthropathy,” “neuroarthropathy,” “midfoot,” and “arthrodesis.” Articles were chosen based on relevancy to modern surgical treatment options for Charcot midfoot arthropathy. Internal fixation options include intramedullary column fixation, “beaming,” and superconstructs involving a combination of intramedullary fixation and plantar plating. An additional extramedullary construct is introduced, which involves placing large screws from the base of the metatarsal across the deformity, known as “rafting screws.” Complications of fixation methods are also discussed in detail.
Diabetic foot: Footwear in a management programme
Authors: Paavana Thumri , Crooks Sophie A. , Hariharan Kartik 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Diabetic foot disease carries a major global health and socioeconomic burden. Most ulcers and amputations may be preventable if addressed early with patient education, good foot care, and attention to footwear. Multiple guidelines exist with regards to stratification of risk and choice of shoes, therapeutic footwear (TF), and offloading devices. A review of available literature suggests that low risk groups may use off-the-shelf footwear, providing they are adequately educated in optimal shoe selection. Intermediate risk groups should have specialist input and consideration of TF. High risk groups should be managed with pressure-relieving TF. In patients with an active diabetic foot ulcer, offloading devices are indicated, with non-removable knee-high devices as the gold standard treatment. Patient compliance remains a challenge to optimal management. This article seeks to outline current evidence and consensus-based guidance with regards to footwear use in the prevention and treatment of the diabetic foot.
