Utility of diagnostic tests in vomiting dogs presented to an internal medicine emergency service
Authors: Holzmann Bettina , Werner Melanie , Unterer Stefan , Dörfelt René 
Published: February 2023

IntroductionVomiting is a common sign in dogs presenting to emergency services. It can be self-limiting, a sign of a life-threatening extraintestinal, or intestinal disorder. Reasonable diagnostics should be performed to determine the underlying cause. This study aimed to assess the utility of diagnostic tests in vomiting dogs, and its correlation with patient history, and physical examination results. Additionally, parameters to differentiate uncomplicated vomiting from complicated vomiting were investigated.MethodsIn this prospective, observational, clinical study, data from 99 client-owned dogs with vomiting, presenting as first opinion cases, were evaluated. History, physical examination, duration of clinical signs, overall number of episodes of vomiting, appetite, and additional clinical signs were recorded. The standardized diagnostic evaluation of all patients included venous blood gas analysis, complete blood count, serum biochemistry profile, canine pancreatic lipase, abdominal radiographs, ultrasound, and urinalysis. Follow-up was performed 4–5 days later. Based on severity of disease and clinical course, dogs were categorized to “uncomplicated vomiting” (UN), or “complicated vomiting” (COM). The utility of each test for diagnosing the cause of vomiting was evaluated. Spearman correlation coefficient, Chi-squared-, unpaired t-, and Mann–Whitney U-test were used. Statistical significance was defined as p ≤ 0.05.ResultsOut of the 99 dogs, 34 had uncomplicated courses of disease (UN). In 60/99 cases, a diagnosis was obtained, and in 39/99 cases, the cause for vomiting remained unknown. Longer duration of clinical signs, and reduced appetite were associated with higher utility of abdominal ultrasound. A poor mentation was associated with a higher utility of blood examinations and abdominal radiographs. Dogs presenting with an impaired mentation or with additional clinical signs other than diarrhea, were more likely to be in the COM group.DiscussionBased on this investigation, general recommendations concerning the diagnostic approach for patients with vomiting could not be provided. For dogs who have exclusively vomiting as a clinical sign, and present in good mentation, further investigations might not be beneficial, and these dogs may recover with symptomatic treatment alone. Additional diagnostics could be indicated in dogs with additional clinical signs other than diarrhea.

IntroductionHouse dust mites (HDM) are regarded as essential environmental allergens not only in human, but also in canine atopic dermatitis (CAD), however, there are only a few studies on the influence of indoor HDM concentration on the disease.MethodsOur study analyzed the correlation between the indoor HDM concentration, the severity of CAD, and the residential environments in client-owned 35 AD and 13 healthy dogs. We measured the extent of CAD and severity index-04 (CADESI-04), pruritus visual analog scale (PVAS), and transepidermal water loss (TEWL), indoor relative humidity (RH) and analyzed the residential environment questionnaires to evaluate AD severity.ResultsThe Der f 1 concentration had an inverse association with TEWL, and no association with CADESI-04 and PVAS. The Der f 1 concentration was significantly high in the group living near the green area and 40% or higher RH.DiscussionOur results suggest two possibilities: (1) Living around green areas and maintaining an appropriate indoor climate may help to improve CAD clinical symptoms. (2) The HDM may contain endotoxin and when present in high concentrations in CAD, they play a preventive role by enhancing the skin barrier function. Further studies with a larger number of dogs may help further elucidate an association between CAD and Der f 1.

Published: February 2023

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhy) is the causative agent of enzootic pneumonia, characterized by high morbidity and low mortality rates in intensive swine production systems. To better understand the mechanisms underlying the protection of an inactivated whole cell vaccine, we investigated the immunohistochemical differences in the cytokine expression in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs experimentally infected with Mhy. Four-week-old Mhy-negative pigs (n = 24) were allocated to negative control (n = 8), or one of two Mhy-infected groups: vaccinated (n = 8) and non-vaccinated (n = 8). Infection was carried out by a combination of trans-tracheal and aerosol route. Lung samples were processed for histopathological and immunohistochemical studies, by using antibodies against Mhy, IL1-α, IL1-β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, Il-8, IL-10, IL-12p35, IL-13, IL-17A, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and CD-4 lymphocytes. Although all cytokines increased in both infected groups, IL-2, IL-12, and IFN-γ were significantly overexpressed in vaccinated pigs. These findings, in conjunction with the decrease of macroscopic and histological lesions in vaccinated animals, indicate the importance to enhance Th1 response in the immunization strategies to control Mhy infection.

Published: February 2023

The poultry red mite (PRM) Dermanyssus gallinae is well known for its vectorial role for pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica ser. Gallinarum, the causative agent of fowl typhoid. Here, we ascertained the vertical transmission of S. Gallinarum across the PRM life stages, combining the Baudruche-based in vitro feeding system and a PRM-fitting DNA extraction and detection method by qPCR. Small-sized pools (4–5 specimens) of adult mites, eggs, larvae, and protonymphs, as well as single eggs, were tested for S. Gallinarum. The pathogen was detected in 89% of adult mites, 5% of single eggs, 17% of pooled eggs, 9% of larvae, and 43% of protonymphs. Additionally, the feeding rate for infected and uninfected mites was similar, while differences in ovipositing and fecundity rate were observed. The method allowed to confirm the infection of mites through the bloodmeal and to strongly suggest the transmission of S. Gallinarum across the PRM life stages. Furthermore, it allows to avoid in vivo studies and it could be useful for further investigating the vectorial role of D. gallinae or other hematophagous arthropods for infectious agents.

Published: February 2023

Research on secondary metabolites produced by Archaea such as ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) is limited. The genome of Haloferax mediterranei ATCC 33500 encodes lanthipeptide synthetases (medM1, medM2, and medM3) and a thiazole-forming cyclodehydratase (ycaO), possibly involved in the biosynthesis of lanthipeptides and the TOMMs haloazolisins, respectively. Lanthipeptides and TOMMs often have antimicrobial activity, and H. mediterranei has antagonistic activity towards haloarchaea shown to be independent of medM genes. This study investigated (i) the transcription of ycaO and medM genes, (ii) the involvement of YcaO in bioactivity, and (iii) the impact of YcaO and MedM-encoding genes’ absence in the biomolecular profile of H. mediterranei. The assays were performed with biomass grown in agar and included RT-qPCR, the generation of knockout mutants, bioassays, and FTIR analysis. Results suggest that ycaO and medM genes are transcriptionally active, with the highest number of transcripts observed for medM2. The deletion of ycaO gene had no effect on H. mediterranei antihaloarchaea activity. FTIR analysis of medM and ycaO knockout mutants suggest that MedMs and YcaO activity might be directly or indirectly related t lipids, a novel perspective that deserves further investigation.

Published: February 2023

Candida auris is considered to be an emerging fungal pathogen and is related to high mortality rates, persistent candidemia, inconsistencies in susceptibility testing results and misidentification by available commercial identification systems. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) strains are increasingly detected. In Europe, hospital outbreaks caused by C. auris have been reported in the United Kingdom (UK), Italy and Spain; however, several cases have been sporadically detected in all European countries. C. auris is difficult to control despite enhanced control measures due to its ability to survive for a long time in environments and colonize patients for prolonged periods. An adequate laboratory diagnostic capacity and national surveillance are fundamental to rapidly detect new C. auris cases and to apply the correct measures to circumscribe them and prevent their spread. Our narrative review aims to highlight the primary C. auris outbreaks and case reports that have occurred in Europe.

Published: February 2023

Recycling plastic waste (RPW) benefits the ecological footprint. Therefore, the authors test its mixing by magnetic hydrodynamic MHD nanofluid materials such as alumina in two sizes (βcore, βskin) prepared into a new device called the incubator installed in the desktop injection machine to enhance its solubility by taking advantage of the mixture’s heat via defining the oblique stagnation-point slip flow (OSPSF) of a nanofluid in two dimensions. The paper has been innovative in mathematically identifying the operating parameters’ values for the injection flow mechanism (IFM) via controlling in Riga magnetic field and piston orifice pressure using a meta-heuristic algorithm called WSA. The proposed (IFM) is used to experimentally enhance the mixture properties via parameters’ control to meet the output quality and predict the control equation for the Riga plate. IFM controls the amount of pushed nanoparticles in the mixture with a ratio of plastic to aluminum approximate by 96.1%: 3.9%. The defects were reduced by approximately 23.21%, with an increasing system performance of 70.98%.

Machine translation has become one of the important features in social media especially on Instagram. This case study investigates the English-Indonesian translations of sentences as the caption on Instagram, as well as analyses the source-oriented and target-oriented translations shown by the target language structures and styles. The frequency of occurrence is also calculated in order to analyze the different parts of sentences that are translated by applying source-oriented and target-oriented approaches. The data were collected from an Instagram account that has a long caption consisting twenty-nine sentences and also one phrase in English and their translations in Indonesian. The data were classified into the language expressions types and then analyzed based on the source-oriented and target-oriented translation approaches (Toury, 1980, 2012). The results show that there are three types of language expressions, they are common expressions, idiom, and phrasal verbs. In terms of the frequency of occurrence, 62% of all parts of sentences are translated based on the target-oriented approach. It reveals that the TL is good enough for the target readers to understand the messages and meanings of the original language. The common expressions are the most frequent parts of sentences that are translated based on the target-oriented approach. Idiom and phrasal verbs do not represent the analyzed data to draw the conclusion as there are only one idiom and four phrasal verbs out of twenty-six data (19%) found.

Тяжелые бактериальные инфекции (пневмонии тяжелого течения, инфекционный эндокардит, сепсис) являются одними из наиболее распространенных причин госпитализации пациентов. Оценка прогноза течения и исходов тяжелых бактериальных инфекций является ключом к повышению выживаемости пациентов. Цель данного исследования – изучить липидный профиль и выявить предикторы неблагоприятного исхода у пациентов с тяжелым течением бактериальной инфекции. В исследование включено 45 пациентов с тяжелым течением бактериальной инфекции (внегоспитальная пневмония тяжелого течения, сепсис с различной локализацией первичного очага, гнойно-септические осложнения сахарного диабета). В группу сравнения включены пациенты (n=21) без признаков гнойно-воспалительного процесса. У пациентов исследован липидный профиль, общелабораторные данные. Полученные данные статистически обработаны. В результате исследования выявлено, что у пациентов с тяжелыми бактериальными инфекциями развиваются метаболические нарушения, проявляющиеся гипохолестеринемией и гиполипопротеинемией. Высокую диагностическую ценность имеют показатели общего холестерина (ОХ) и липопротеинов высокой плотности (ХС-ЛПВП). Выделены возможные метаболические предикторы неблагоприятного исхода у пациентов с тяжелым течением бактериальной инфекции: снижение уровня ОХ менее 2,0 ммоль/л в сочетании со снижением уровня ХС-ЛПВП менее 0,5 ммоль/л. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы в практике для ранней диагностики неблагоприятного исхода и, соответственно, назначения своевременной и адекватной интенсивной терапии.
Severe bacterial infections: severe pneumonia, infective endocarditis, sepsis are among the most common reasons for hospitalization of patients. Evaluation of the prognosis and outcomes of severe bacterial infections is the key to improving patient survival. The purpose of this study was to study the lipid profile and identify predictors of adverse outcome in patients with severe bacterial infection. The study included 45 patients with a severe bacterial infections (community-acquired pneumonia, sepsis with different localization of the primary focus, septic complications of diabetes mellitus etc). The control group included patients (n=21) without signs of a bacterial inflammatory process. The lipid profile and general laboratory data were studied in patients. The obtained data were statistically processed. It was revealed that patients with severe bacterial infections develop metabolic disorders manifested by hypocholesterolemia and hypolipoproteinemia. Total cholesterol (TC) level and high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C) level have high diagnostic value. Possible metabolic predictors of an adverse outcome in patients with a severe bacterial infection were identified: a decrease in the TC level of less than 2.0 mmol/l, combined with a decrease in the level of HDL-C less than 0.5 mmol/l. The results can be used in practice for early diagnosis of adverse outcome and, accordingly, the appointment of timely and adequate intensive care.

Authors: Hammouri Ali 
Published: February 2023

This research aimed to show The Influence of Japanese Ukiyo Art on Henri Toulouse-Lautrec's Poster Designs in the Context of European art, through selecting and analyzing five artistic poster works for the French artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec as a case for the study. The researcher used the historical, survey and comparative methodology in his analyzing process, to reach the answer of the study hypothesis. The research sets up six criteria to show the influence of Japanese art on Lautrec works as abstract, simplicity, absence of shade and shadow, the absence of third dimension, flat shapes, bold flat color contrast and vivid flat colors in a new artistic European style, that have been influenced by the Japanese floating word (Ukiyo-e art). As a result, it is clearly seen as an evidence that the Ukiyo art had a major influence on European art and artists during between the 19th century and 20th century. Lautrec particular are enduring these art forms specially on Lautrec Posters Design which he performed in Paris. Researcher noticed a correspondingly sweeping change in Western art Japonisme was seen clearly among Henri Lautrec Posters as a preference for the theme matter, stylishness, and imitating of Japanese art, especially abstract, simplicity, absence of shade and shadow, the absence of third dimension, flat shapes and vivid flat colors in woodblock prints, and a bold flat color contrast, as he also moved toward abstraction to bare bones away of impressionism in his designed poster done in Montmartre area in Paris.

Abstract
To evaluate the polarization characteristics of ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistors, metal–ferroelectrics–insulator–semiconductor (MFIS) structures are often used. This study examines the influence of interface characteristics on polarization characterization in MFIS on low-impurity-concentration substrates by experimentally evaluating the ferroelectric properties of Hf

O2 (HZO)/Ge MFIS capacitors with different interface properties. Usually, polarization reversal behavior is not observed for MFIS capacitors on low-impurity-concentration substrates. However, it is found that, when the interface properties are poor and the interface state density is high, polarization reversal behavior can be observed even on the low-impurity concentration substrates. In lightly-doped MFIS capacitors with many interface states, the response of the interface states at low measurement frequencies suppresses the depletion layer change and voltage drop in the Ge substrate, resulting in the high electric field across the HZO films and observation of polarization reversal behavior.
