Published: January 2024

IntroductionSocietal perceptions and lack of understanding of autism spectrum disorder can be stigmatizing for autistic individuals and their families. This may be particularly the case for individuals who meet criteria for profound autism. Despite the considerable service needs of this marginalized group, there is little data on the prevalence of profound autism, nor on the experiences of those with profound autism and their families.MethodsThe current study leveraged a mixed-methods approach to address these gaps. First, the prevalence of profound autism was examined in six samples—three from the United States and three from Western Europe. Second, inductive thematic analysis was used to code interviews from 20 caregivers of profoundly autistic adults.ResultsThe prevalence of profound autism varied widely across the six samples—from 11% to 48%. There were also notable differences between samples in prevalence by gender, race, and ethnicity. Two overarching themes were identified via inductive thematic analysis: Community Perceptions of Autism and Family Support Needs and Advocacy Challenges. Though caregivers were not directly asked about stigmatization during interviews, 85% of caregivers reported at least one instance of perceived stigma.DiscussionFuture research should continue to examine the unique needs and stigmatization experiences of profoundly autistic individuals and their families across the life course.

BackgroundRobust data comparing long COVID in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in middle-income countries are limited.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted in Brazil, including hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. Long COVID was diagnosed at 90-day follow-up using WHO criteria. Demographic and clinical information, including the depression screening scale (PHQ-2) at day 30, was compared between the groups. If the PHQ-2 score is 3 or greater, major depressive disorder is likely. Logistic regression analysis identified predictors and protective factors for long COVID.ResultsA total of 291 hospitalized and 1,118 non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were included. The prevalence of long COVID was 47.1% and 49.5%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression showed female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 4.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.51–8.37), hypertension (OR = 2.90, 95% CI 1.52–5.69), PHQ-2 &gt; 3 (OR = 6.50, 95% CI 1.68–33.4) and corticosteroid use during hospital stay (OR = 2.43, 95% CI 1.20–5.04) as predictors of long COVID in hospitalized patients, while female sex (OR = 2.52, 95% CI 1.95–3.27) and PHQ-2 &gt; 3 (OR = 3.88, 95% CI 2.52–6.16) were predictors in non-hospitalized patients.ConclusionLong COVID was prevalent in both groups. Positive depression screening at day 30 post-infection can predict long COVID. Early screening of depression helps health staff to identify patients at a higher risk of long COVID, allowing an early diagnosis of the condition.

Published: January 2024

IntroductionNumerous studies suggest that the risk of tuberculosis (TB) is linked to gene polymorphisms of the interleukin-12 receptor b subunit 1 (IL12RB1), but the association between IL12RB1 polymorphisms and TB susceptibility has not been thoroughly investigated.MethodsA meta-analysis was conducted based on eight case-control studies with 10,112 individuals to further explore this topic. A systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Excerpt Medica Database, and Google Scholar up until April 6th, 2023 was performed. ORs and 95% CIs were pooled using the random-effect model. The epidemiological credibility of all significant associations was assessed using the Venice criteria and false-positive report probability (FPRP) analyses.ResultsThe IL12RB1 rs11575934 and rs401502 showed solid evidence of no significant association with TB susceptibility. However, a weak association was observed between the IL12RB1 rs375947 biomarker and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) susceptibility (OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.22, 2.21).DiscussionThese findings should be confirmed through larger, better-designed studies to clarify the relationship between biomarkers in IL12RB1 gene and different types of TB susceptibility.

IntroductionPneumococcal conjugate vaccines have reduced severe disease attributed to vaccine-type pneumococci in children. However, the effect is dependent on serotype distribution in the population and disease development may be influenced by co-occurrence of viral and bacterial pathogens in the nasopharynx.MethodsFollowing introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in Tanzania we performed repeated cross-sectional surveys, including 775 children below 2 years of age attending primary healthcare centers. All children were sampled from nasopharynx and pneumococci were detected by single-target PCR. Pneumococcal serotypes/groups and presence of viruses and other bacteria were determined by two multiplex PCR assays.ResultsThe prevalence of PCV13 vaccine-type pneumococci decreased by 50%, but residual vaccine-types were still detected in 21% of the children 2 years after PCV13 introduction. An increase in the non-vaccine-type 15 BC was observed. Pneumococci were often co-occurring with Haemophilus influenzae, and detection of rhino/enterovirus was associated with higher pneumococcal load.DiscussionWe conclude that presence of residual vaccine-type and emerging non-vaccine-type pneumococci in Tanzanian children demand continued pneumococcal surveillance. High co-occurrence of viral and bacterial pathogens may contribute to the disease burden and indicate the need of multiple public health interventions to improve child health in Tanzania.
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi as Biofertilizers to Increase the Plant Quality of Sour-Orange Seedlings
Authors: Navarro Josefa María , Morte Asunción 
Published: January 2024

In addressing the agricultural challenges posed by climate change, the use of biofertilizers, derived from living organisms, promotes environmentally friendly crop cultivation, and represents an adaptive strategy for sustainable agriculture in the face of climate uncertainty. Careful selection of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) would represent a crucial step in mycorrhizal inoculation, considering the varying levels of compatibility between the AMF and the host plant. This study aimed to assess the impact of two AMF species that are prevalent in citrus soils of south-eastern Spain (Rhizophagus irregularis and Funneliformis mosseae) on the Citrus aurantium seedlings’ behavior. Sour-orange plants showed a high mycorrhizal dependence regardless of the specific AMF species. Both R. irregularis and F. mosseae fungi exhibited high colonization percentages, with R. irregularis outperforming F. mosseae in root colonization. Inoculation with both AMF yielded notable growth improvements, but R. irregularis exhibited higher positive effects in the long term. The heightened P nutrition and increased chlorophyll concentration significantly enhanced the performance of AMF-inoculated plants. With F. mosseae, plants showed more pronounced improvements in P nutrition and a stronger correlation of their dry mass with P concentration; however, in general, inoculation with R. irregularis produced a higher sour-orange-plant performance. Both R. irregularis and F. mosseae fungi produced strong positive effects in sour-orange growth, which positioned them as viable biofertilizer options. These results can contribute to enhancing understanding for the development of an improved design of biofertilizers used in regions that are vulnerable to climate change, such as south-eastern Spain. This promotes a shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices by reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers.

Published: January 2024

Enteric protozoan parasites, such as Blastocystis sp., Balantioides coli, Cryptosporidium spp., and Giardia duodenalis, may have implications for both animal and human health.Transmitted through the fecal–oral route, these parasites cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. This study investigated the presence of these enteric protozoan parasites and genetically characterized them in hedgehogs from Portugal. A total of 110 hedgehog stool samples were collected. Molecular detection methods showed an overall occurrence of protozoa in 1.82% (2/110 95% CI: 0.22–6.41) of hedgehogs, with Blastocystis being found in one hedgehog and Cryptosporidium being found in another. No evidence for the presence of B. coli or G. duodenalis was found. This study suggests that there is a need to stay aware of hedgehogs as potential hosts of enteric protozoa. Ongoing research and surveillance efforts are recommended to explore practical prevention and control strategies. The results contribute to the limited knowledge of these parasites in Portuguese hedgehog populations and underscore their potential relevance to both veterinary and public health.

This study investigated the potential of pulsed electric field (PEF) extraction in enhancing the antimicrobial properties related to anti-acne and deodorant properties of Hedychium coronarium extract. The dried leaf and rhizome of H. coronarium were extracted using 95% v/v ethanol through both conventional solvent extraction and PEF extraction techniques (10, 14, and 20 kV/cm). The chemical composition of the extracts was analyzed. The antimicrobial activities, specifically in relation to acne treatment against Cutibacterium acnes and deodorant properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, were determined. The irritation profile of was evaluated using the hen’s egg chorioallantoic membrane test. The results showed that PEF extraction increased the extract yield, particularly at an electric field strength of 20 kV/cm. Furthermore, PEF extraction significantly enhanced the ellagic acid content, particularly in the leaf extract. Furthermore, the leaf extract demonstrated stronger inhibitory effects against microorganisms associated with body odor and acne compared to the rhizome extract. Notably, all extracts exhibited no signs of irritation, indicating their safety. Overall, the findings suggest that PEF extraction from H. coronarium enhances yield, bioactive compound content, and antimicrobial effects. This indicates the potential of the extract for acne treatment and deodorant use.

Published: January 2024

Infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly infectious viral disease of chickens which causes significant economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. An effective vaccine against IB is urgently needed to provide both biosafety and high-efficiency immune protection. In this study, the S1 protein of the infectious bronchitis virus was delivered by a recombinant attenuated Salmonella typhimurium vector to form the vaccine candidate χ11246(pYA4545-S1). S. typhimurium χ11246 carried a sifA− mutation with regulated delayed systems, striking a balance between host safety and immunogenicity. Here, we demonstrated that S1 protein is highly expressed in HD11 cells. Immunization with χ11246(pYA4545-S1) induced the production of antibody and cytokine, leading to an effective immune response against IB. Oral immunization with χ11246(pYA4545-S1) provided 72%, 56%, and 56% protection in the lacrimal gland, trachea, and cloaca against infectious bronchitis virus infection, respectively. Furthermore, it significantly reduced histopathological lesions in chickens. Together, this study provides a new idea for the prevention of IB.

Relevance. This article addresses the prevalence of periodontal diseases in infants and preschool-aged children, considering factors such as the child's age and family structure within the region of the Republic of Tatarstan. Periodontal diseases, in conjunction with dental caries and dental abnormalities, represent the most frequently observed oral health conditions among children and adolescents.Materials and methods. The research involved 2429 families and 2556 preschool-aged children representing diverse family structures within Kazan, Arsk, and Pestrechinsky districts in the Republic of Tatarstan. During the survey, five primary family classifications emerged: complete, incomplete, extended, reconstituted, and foster families. The research methodology involved conducting interviews with parents, close relatives, or guardians, coupled with comprehensive examinations of the children, documenting both systemic disease and general health information using specifically tailored charts. Data analysis included determining mean values (M), mean error of the score (m), and Student's t-test criterion (t). Significance among group disparities was established at a probability of error less than 5% (p < 0.05). The gathered data underwent interpretation, considering both family structure and the spectrum of periodontal diseases.Results. Periodontal diseases were found to affect children from foster and incomplete families most significantly, with prevalence rates exceeding 90% in certain age groups. Children from complete and extended families exhibited lower prevalence rates of periodontal diseases, at 9.8% and 22.2%, respectively. Notably, within all age brackets, the highest occurrence of periodontal diseases was observed among children aged 4.6-6 years, constituting 57.0% of cases. Infants under one year old displayed the lowest susceptibility, with only 16.3% affected. Upon analyzing disease prevalence among children in the Republic of Tatarstan, a significant disparity emerged: children residing in rural areas demonstrated a higher susceptibility to periodontal diseases in comparison to their urban counterparts.Conclusion. The findings reveal a clear correlation between a child's family structure and the occurrence of periodontal diseases. Establishing the family structure and implementing tailored preventive measures specific to periodontal diseases, while considering both the child's family structure and age, plays a significant role in averting the onset and progression of this condition.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Nucleation and grain growth are discussed as a means of clarifying the mechanism of the rapid solid-phase crystallization (SPC) process of H2-doped amorphous indium oxide (InO
x
:H) films. H2-doping in InO
x
:H films reduced nucleation density at 250 °C from 4.1 to 1.1 μm−2, resulting in an increase in grain size and Hall mobility of the polycrystalline (poly)-InO
x
:H films. Lateral growth rate from the nucleus was estimated to be 220 nm min−1 for the InO
x
:H film at 250 °C. Thus, an amorphous InO
x
:H film could be converted to a poly-InO
x
:H film within 3 min owing to a fast lateral growth rate from the nucleus. Almost the same grain size, Hall mobility, and carrier density could be obtained from the poly-InO
x
:H films after annealing at 250 °C for only 3 min irrespective of the ramp rate. The results demonstrated the wide range of the processing window for SPC for poly-InO
x
:H films.

The impact of H2 gas flow in the reactive sputtering process to 60 nm-thick ferroelectric Al1−x

N films is investigated with x of 0.26 (high-Sc) and 0.12 (low-Sc). Al1−x
Sc
x
N films exhibit clear ferroelectric switching, confirming the robustness against reducing ambient. The dielectric constants (ε
i) as well as the leakage current decrease, and the breakdown field (E
BD) increases with H2 flow. Although the remanent polarization (P
r) decreases with H2 flow, the wake-up effect is suppressed for the high-Sc film, and the fatigue effect is weakened for the low-Sc film. By probing the change in the coercive field (E
c) after the switching cycle test, we anticipate oxygen impurities bonded to Sc and Al atoms are the source of wake-up and fatigue effects, respectively. As a result, a high endurance cycle of 2 × 107 times was achieved for low-Sc films with H2 flow.

Abstract
In prior work, rough handling of oral tablets had been observed to drastically speed up their disintegration in water. The purpose of this study was to confirm or refute that the formation of internal microscopic fractures during rough handling is the underlying mechanism. Impacted and control tablets were subjected to micro-computed tomography and to brightness-mode ultrasound. The former revealed fracturing with a maximum crack width of 14 μm. The latter revealed strong acoustic response from the internal structure of the impacted tablets. These results confirm the hypothesis. Disintegration speed is used as a quality control mechanism after tablet manufacturing and transportation.
