Introduction. Data for the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2/HIV co-infection on immune restoration, as well as the level of post-exposure and post-vaccination immunity at the current stage of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in HIV+ individuals is still scarce. We assessed SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses, and the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the immune recovery in HIV+cART+ patients with different exposure history.
Materials and methods. HIV+cART+ patients 9 (2-18) months after mild/moderate COVID-19 and completed immunization with anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (n=13, group A), convalescent, not immunized (n=11, group B), or with no history of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 (n=11, group C) were included in the study. CD4AC and CD4/CD8 ratio were determined before and after the documented/probable contact with SARS-CoV-2 by 4-color flow cytometry (TRUCount, MultiTest, FACSCanto II). Virus-specific immunity was characterized by the SARS-CoV-2 specific IFNγ production (SARS-CoV-2 IGRA, Euroimmun) and the levels of RBD-IgG ((Euroimmun ELISA).
Results. SARS-CoV-2 specific T-cell and IgG responses were highly correlated and present, respectively, in 92% and 100%; 64% and 54%, 36% and 50% from group A, B and C patients. SARS-CoV-2 specific IFNy+T cells and RDB-IgG were significantly higher in the group with hybrid exposure (A) as compared to convalescent (B) and asymptomatic (C) patients. No significant difference existed between background and actual CD4AC (mean 836 vs 799 cells/µl, p>0.05, Mann-Whitney), and the CD4/CD8 ratio significantly increased in the group with hybrid exposure (0.92 vs 1.07, p<0.01, paired T-test).
Conclusion. Over 80% of tested HIV+ individuals have mounted a SARS-CoV-2 specific immune response. Immunization and hybrid exposure provide a durable and significantly stronger SARS-CoV-2-specific immune response as compared to mild/ asymptomatic infection, without affecting the long-term immune recovery.
A CLINICAL CASE OF PULMONARY NOCARDIOSIS IN AN IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENT

Published: August 2023

Nocardia microorganisms are saprophytes, either non-pathogenic or pathogenic, causing nocardiosis. The clinically significant disease occurs in immunocompromised people, most often as pneumonia with cough, dyspnea, and fever. Antibiotic therapy, which is longer in time, is necessary. The main treatment is with sulfonamides, but the sensitivity of these bacteria varies. Therefore, the antibiotic susceptibility of the respective strain is important to apply combined therapy if needed. The risk of death without treatment is high, especially if the infection disseminates and the brain is involved. Antibacterial prophylaxis is therefore recommended in patients at high risk of nocardiosis. Our clinical case concerns an immunocompromised patient with isolated Nocardia from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

Published: August 2023

_
Additive manufacturing (AM) has seen slow growth thus far in the maritime industry. Like other industries, maritime companies and institutions have started using AM for prototyping and product development needs but is now beginning to expand into production of end use parts and production tooling. The slow adoption can mainly be attributed to a previous lack of education in additive technology and strategies, current lack of reliability testing of additive machines in a marine environment, and the need for classification and certification of parts and machines before shipowners and crews will likely adopt for widespread use. This article provides a perspective of recent AM activities within the industry and discusses the need for research in key areas before widespread utilization can occur. Current use includes a recent push in maritime education, surveys of maritime workers and stakeholders, and fabrication of replacement parts, propellers, and boat hulls. Prospective key areas with the need for further research include 1) use-cases for replacement parts on ship, 2) economic feasibility of putting 3D printers on board, 3) standards, certification, and quality assurance, and 4) reliability and repeatability in a marine environment.

Short-term radiographic and clinical outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with and without augmentation with an interpositional nanofiber scaffold
Authors: Beleckas Casey M , Minetos Paul , Badman Brian L 
Published: August 2023

Background The rate of retear after primary rotator cuff failure remains unacceptably high (up to 36% for small- to medium-sized tears). Augmentation of the repair with an interpositional scaffold has been reported to improve healing. Purpose To compare the short-term radiographic and clinical outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with and without augmentation with an interpositional nanofiber scaffold. Methods We prospectively enrolled patients with full thickness rotator cuff tears into a multicenter study with institutional review board approval. All patients had a minimum of one year clinical and radiographic follow-up. A single fellowship trained shoulder surgeon performed all procedures. Patients were blinded and randomized at the time of surgery into either a treatment group consisting of double row rotator cuff repair augmented with an interpositional nanofiber scaffold or a control group in which a standard double-row repair without augmentation was performed. Range of motion, muscle dynamometer strength testing (Lafayette Instruments), and clinical outcomes according to visual analog scale pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores were assessed preoperatively and at routine follow-up intervals. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was obtained at a minimum of 4 months (range 4.5-14) on all patients and assessed according to the Sugaya classification with failure noted as grade 4 or higher. Patients without initial failure were then assessed at a minimum of one year (range 12-24 months) by ultrasound examination or MRI to assess for late failure of the repair and clinical outcomes. Results Thirty patients with a mean age of 64.6 years were statistically analyzed. Fourteen patients were treated with the nanofiber scaffold and 16 patients were non-augmented and made up the control. At an average of 6.8 months, all patients underwent MRI and early failure occurred in 7.1% of the nanofiber scaffold patients compared to 18.8% in the control group (p=.602). At an average time of 17 months postoperatively, all remaining patients with intact repairs underwent MRI (2) or ultrasound (28) and 9 more patients demonstrated Sugaya tear progression with five progressing to failure. All late failures and Sugaya tear progressions occurred in the control group. Cumulative treatment failure occurred significantly less often in patients who received the nanofiber scaffold (7.1%) compared to those who did not receive the bioresorbable scaffold (50%) (p=.017). Conclusion The present prospective study demonstrates a statistically significant difference in rotator cuff healing with use of an interpositional nanofiber scaffold. While future studies and larger series are warranted, the current data is promising in further advancing the outcomes of rotator cuff repairs.

The household is something related to the family, while the family itself means the smallest social group that has a leader and members with each member having their own rights and obligations, where the leaders and members are related by blood or marriage. Marriage has the goal of a happy and eternal family based on belief in one and only God, in other words, every household wants their family to be happy and avoid divorce. In building a household there are always tests or problems that need to be faced. These problems can be small or big problems, problems that can be solved alone or problems that require the help of other people or judges. One of the efforts to avoid problems in the household is to carry out the obligations of each family member. In the Qur'an there is a discussion of problems that can occur in the household and how to deal with them. In addition, communication is also very important in building a household, without good communication, it is difficult for a household to avoid conflict.

Barley yield and malt quality affected by fall and spring planting under rainfed conditions
Authors: Saygili Ibrahim 
Published: August 2023

Background
As a result of the changing climate characteristics, it is necessary to reevaluate the planting time for crop plants. The aim of the present study was to determine the quality characteristics of malting barley cultivars in fall and spring plantings.

Methods
Sixteen malting barley cultivars were used. Two fall-planted and two spring-planted trials were conducted in two consecutive years. The field trials were carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications in Tokat province of Turkey under rainfed conditions.

Results
Grain yields varied between 4.38 and 5.71 t/ha in fall-planted trials and between 3.12 and 4.89 t/ha in spring-planted trials. Malt extracts were between 77.0% and 78.0% kg in fall-planted trials and between 73.9% and 76.9% in spring-planted trials. Alpha amylase activities ranged from 77.9 to 81.4 Ceralpha unit (CU)/g in fall-planted trials and from 80.8 to 100.9 CU/g in spring-planted trials. Diastatic power ranged from 194.5 to 331.1 Windisch-Kolbach unit (°WK) in fall-planted trials and from 129.0 to 259.8 °WK in spring-planted trials. GGE biplot analysis indicated that winter barley cultivar Durusu and facultative barley cultivar Ince-04 were the best with consistent grain yields while Ince-04 was the best with stable malt extract across the trials. In scatter plot graphics, winter barley cultivars Durusu, Aydanhanim, Yildiz and facultative Ince-04 had superior performance in fall-plantings for grain yield and malt extract. In spring planting, facultative Ince-04 had higher performance than those of other cultivars. In spring plantings, facultative or winter barley cultivars that do not have strong vernalization requirement had better yield and malt quality. Appropriate planting time and cultivars can allow a better use of available water in malt barley production under rainfed conditions. Lastly, instead of evaluating the grain yield or malt quality alone, it would be best to evaluate the target product (malt extract percentage) obtained from a particular region, process, or production methodology.
Real-time Comparison of Performance Analysis of Various Edge Detection Techniques Based on Imagery Data
Authors: Kumari Rajshree , Chandra Divyanshu 
Published: August 2023

Edge Detection is one of the most essential steps for image processing to identify and detect discontinuity in intensity variation. It is an effective and an efficient tool to recognize different properties of an image such as shape, contrast, color, scene analysis, image segmentation etc. The technique is very important to recognize all the edges accurately. It helps in object recognition, pattern recognition, medical image processing, motion analysis etc. There are many edge detection operators available in image processing. This paper illustrates the performance analysis of the most commonly used edge detection techniques including Canny, Sobel and Prewitt, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages with respect to different types of datasets. After analyzing various parameters like Accuracy, Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Edge Detection Processing Time and Qualitative Human Visual Perception on two diverse type of datasets, varied results are found with respect to the techniques used. Among them, the most accurate and fast computed edge detection technique which gives better results on both type of datasets is concluded. Although the Sobel edge detection technique gives relatively poor result and weak performance of detection of edges, however it can be modified and further improved with respect to future work. The entire analyzing process was done under Scilab software.

Aims: To identify the less susceptible varieties, allowing for targeted pest management strategies, reduced pesticide use, increased resilience to pest outbreaks, and long-term sustainable pest control solutions.
Study Design: Randomized Block Design.
Place and Duration of Study: Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Gwalior (Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Gwalior) during two consecutive years i.e., Kharif, 2021-22 and Kharif 2022-23.
Methodology: In the experiment, twelve different varieties were sown on 17th July 2021 and 17th July 2022 during both the consecutive years respectively. Observations on the number of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda larvae and plant damage per cent were recorded from randomly selected ten plants at weekly intervals. Observations for FAW was also be recorded with visual scoring method. A numerical scale (0-9), also known as the Davis scale, was used to evaluate leaf damage.
Results: The result of both the year indicated that not all varieties were found to be completely resistant to fall armyworm. For the purpose of interpreting the results, all the varieties were categorized for their reaction based on average data of both the years (Kharif 2021 and Kharif 2022) of mean larval population, mean plant damage percent, and leaf damage scoring. Based on statistical categorization, it was determined that the varieties NWMH-2002 and JM 218 exhibited lower susceptibility. On the other hand, the varieties Dkc-9141, Maize 3845, PAC 740, Yashoda gold, PM 303, Maize Ranker, Maize 5402, and Maize 3046 were classified as moderately susceptible. Lastly, Sona 5101 and M-909 were identified as highly susceptible varieties.
Conclusions: It concluded that the varieties NWMH-2002 and JM 218 exhibited lower susceptibility against fall armyworm.

Published: August 2023

ImportancePharmacy deserts have increased, potentially affecting patient access and care. Historically, telepharmacies have been used to reduce pharmacy deserts to restore access, but states frequently restrict their operation.ObjectiveTo analyze whether telepharmacy policy is associated with pharmacy deserts and access to pharmacy services.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study analyzed pharmacy location and census data from 2016 through 2019 for US states with new telepharmacy policies. Nearby control states were used for comparison in a pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. Statistical analysis was performed from January 2022 to July 2023.ExposureIntervention states were selected if a change in telepharmacy policy was adopted in 2017 or 2018.Main Outcomes and MeasuresPharmacy deserts were defined as any geographic area located at least 10 miles from the nearest pharmacy. Primary outcomes included the change in number of telepharmacies, pharmacy deserts, and population in pharmacy deserts. Secondary outcomes included the percentage of telepharmacies located in medically underserved areas or populations (MUA/Ps), and the association between a telepharmacy opening nearby and the transition of a pharmacy desert into a nonpharmacy desert.ResultsTwelve US states were included in the study (8 intervention states, 4 control states). Intervention states experienced an increase in the mean number of telepharmacies to 7.25 with a range of 4 (Arizona, Indiana) to 14 (Iowa), but control states remained at a mean of 0.25 telepharmacies with a range of 0 to 1 (Kansas). Compared with controls, intervention states experienced a 4.5% (95% CI, 1.6% to 7.4%) decrease in the percentage of places defined as pharmacy deserts (P = .001) and an 11.1% (95% CI, 2.4% to 22.6%) decrease in the population in a pharmacy desert (P = .03). Telepharmacies were more likely to be located in a MUA/P than traditional pharmacies (preperiod in MUA/P: 63.2% of telepharmacies [12 of 19] vs 33.9% of traditional pharmacies [5984 of 17 511]; P = .01; postperiod in MUA/P: 62.7% of telepharmacies [37 of 59] vs 33.7% of traditional pharmacies [5998 of 17 800]; P &amp;lt; .001). When a telepharmacy was established in pharmacy deserts, 37.5% (30 of 80) no longer met the study’s definition of a pharmacy desert the following year. In contrast, only 1.8% of places (68 of 3892) where a nearby telepharmacy did not open experienced this change (χ21=416.4; P &amp;lt; .001).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, intervention states experienced a reduced population in pharmacy deserts, suggesting an association with new telepharmacy openings. States aiming to improve pharmacy access might consider less restrictive telepharmacy policies to potentially elicit greater patient outcomes.

Published: August 2023

AbstractSalinity gradient cells are widely used in power generation from gradient concentration solutions of one electrolyte. High ionic flux sub‐micro channels membrane can offer a high current density for salinity gradient power generation with a significant power output. Herein, based on numerical simulation model with Poisson‐Nernst‐Planck‐Navier‐Stokes (PNP‐NS) equations, a high ionic flux sub‐micro channel model with assumption is introduced that measured current is contributed by Cl− ionic flux across the membrane. An ion channel system is built for experiment, in which a glass membrane with regular symmetric sub‐micro cylindrical channels and high effective channel area is applied, ion conductance and salinity gradient energy conversion property are tested. This PNP‐NS equations model simulation fits experiment well, its mechanism is also studied by the model. In addition, by mixing artificial sea water (0.5 m NaCl) and river water (0.01 mm NaCl), the output power density of this 50‐fold salinity gradient system can achieve 4.16 W m−2, and the highest output power density will be up to 7.91 W m−2 under a 0.5 m/0.001 m 500‐fold salinity gradient. This high ionic flux membrane shows a good performance for practical application in salinity gradient power generation.
