Authors: Sidharthan V Kavi , Patel Bharati , Chandran Nithya , Pattanaik Swapnendu 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Red sanders (Pterocarpus santalinus L.f.) is an economically important, endangered timber species endemic to the restricted forest tracts of the Eastern Ghats, India. Here, we report the occurrence of long horned beetle Xylotrechus smei infestation on red sanders for the first time from Telangana, India. Infestation was characterized by complete drying of standing trees, presence of galleries and bore holes in cut stems. In addition, supplementary description of X. smei, including the terminal abdominal segments and genitalia of both the sexes, immatures and its illustrations are provided for more authentic identification of this important pest. Further, the identity of the insect as X. smei was confirmed through mtCOI based DNA barcode. Phylogenetic and sequence divergence analyses based on partial mtCOI gene sequence showed that X. smei isolate obtained in the current study was closely related to X. smei isolate WA13 10.01r that was intercepted in wood packaging material in one of the ports of entry of United States (U.S.).

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background

Rural Medical Health Centers (RMHCs) are the foundation of the three-level primary medical and healthcare service in China. The efficiency of RMHCs is related to the rationale behind healthcare resource allocation for China’s 560 million rural population.
Methods

This study analyzed the dynamic changes in efficiency of RMHCs and its convergence using the non-oriented SBM–DEA window model and convergence model in Shanxi Province, China. Data was obtained from the Shanxi Rural Health Institute’s 2014–2018 Health Statistics Report, involving 12360 RMHCs.
Results

Findings show that the medical service efficiency delivered in RMHCs is low. The average scores for the comprehensive technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of the RMHCs in China from 2014 to 2018 were only 0.0568 and 0.0615 respectively, with nearly 68% of the values being lower than their average scores. The comprehensive technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of RMHCs from 2014–2018 exhibited a downward trend year on year. The convergence analysis results also showed that current rural health clinic medical service efficiency had \({\alpha }\) convergence, absolute convergence and conditional convergence. If appropriate policies are followed, the medical service efficiency of the RMHCs can be improved to reach a steady-state level.
Conclusions

The medical service efficiency of RMHCs remains low and may gradually decline. The government should promote the efficiency of the medical service in RMHCs by formulating corresponding medical and health resource allocation policies to reach an optimal level.
Short-time traffic flow prediction based on seasonal gray Fourier model
Authors: Shen Z. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
To handle the periodic, nonlinear, and stochastic aspects of short-time traffic flow data, a seasonal gray Fourier model based on the complex Simpson formula is proposed. The seasonal GM (1, 1) model is used to optimize the background values first, and then the prediction results are adjusted using the Fourier series method. The new model was applied to the prediction of traffic flow on Whitemud Drive in Canada, and the numerical results indicated that the new model's mean absolute percentage error was 1.54 percent and its fit was 0.996, which were significantly better than those of the traditional GM (1, 1) model, the seasonal GM (1, 1) model, and the Fourier optimized seasonal GM (1, 1) model.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background: China is the region with a high global burden of Rifampicin Resistance ／Multidrug-Resistant tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB) and low HIV incidence. Our aim was to assess the clinical and demographic characteristics of RR/MDR - extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) from 2015 to 2019, to provide evidence for the prevention and control of the disease in high TB burden areas.Methods: We investigated the clinical and demographic data of all MDR/ RR -EPTB cases in a TB specialized hospital from China and compared the cases with the MDR/ RR-pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients over the same period.Results: Of the RR/MDR-TB patients enrolled，15.4 were EPTB. The most common anatomical site was pleural/chest wall (25.9%). Compared with RR／MDR-PTB，females were more likely to be susceptible to RR/MDR-EPTB (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.52-1.77)； the risk of RR/MDR-EPTB for（25-44）years group increased (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.52-1.77), and then decreased with the increasing age (OR1.48 95% CI 0.74-1.69 for 44-65 years group and OR 2.23 95% CI 0.98-2.71 for ≥ 65 years group) ；more likely to be newly diagnosed （p <0.01）and less likely to to combine with diabetes（ P<0.01) 、more dependent on GeneXpert MTB／RIF （Xpert ，90.9%) for diagnosis、with significantly higher rates of pre-XDR／XDR and significantly lower favorable treatment outcomes（both p <0.01）.Conclusion: There are clinical and demographic differences between RR/MDR-PTB and RR/MDR-PTB. Xper should be recommended at an early stage for suspected patients，and fluoroquinolones should be used cautiously for anti-infective therapy in this population.

Published: February 2022

Background:Hypertension is a significant challenge for healthcare systems globally. It is estimated to cause 7.5 million deaths worldwide annually. Knowledge of hypertension plays a crucial role in behavioral changes required to prevent and manage the condition. This study aimed to assess the public's knowledge of hypertension’s risk factors, symptoms, complications, and treatment.Methods:This cross-sectional, descriptive, and exploratory study included a convenience sample of 723 Jordanian adults. The Hypertension Knowledge Test was used to measure the participants' knowledge of hypertension’s risk factors, symptoms, complications, and treatment.Results:The participants' mean score of total hypertension knowledge was 11.5 ±3.82 (52.2%), with 85.9% (n=621) having inadequate knowledge. Their mean scores for hypertension’s risk factors, symptoms, complications, and treatment were 7.45 ±2.35 (62.1%), 2.29 ±1.21 (45.8%), 1.38 ± 0.943 (46%), and 0.391 ± 0.603 (19.6%), respectively. Four factors were found to be significant predictors of participants' knowledge, such as age (p=0.002), education level (p<0.001), family history (p<0.001), and receiving hypertension-related information (p<0.001).Conclusion:The participants had inadequate knowledge regarding hypertension’s complications, risk factors, symptoms, and treatment. Public health education programs that focus on hypertension knowledge are required. Nurses and other healthcare providers should take the initiative in hypertension education. Strategic planning and designing of hypertension programs are required to fit the needs of the Jordanian public to enhance their knowledge of hypertension and related preventive and control measures.

Keberadaan bakteri proteolitik pada komoditas akuakultur penting untuk dipelajari, salah satunya terkait dengan praktek budidaya ikan skala kecil di daerah pedesaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keberadaan dan melakukan identifikasi secara molekuler bakteri proteolitik yang diisolasi dari saluran pencernaan ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus). Sampel ikan nila diambil dari tiga unit kegiatan akuakultur yang menggunakan pakan berbeda di Kabupaten Banyumas yaitu dari Desa Pandak (dengan probiotik, pakan pellet), Desa Beji (tanpa probiotik, pakan tumbuhan) dan Desa Tambaksogra (dengan probiotik, kombinasi pakan pellet dan tumbuhan). Jumlah bakteri, proporsi bakteri proteolitik, dan indeks aktifitas proteolitik diamati dari usus bagian anterior, middle, dan posterior. Sampel isolat bakteri proteolitik dikelompokkan berdasarkan hasil analisis restriksi 16S rDNA menggunakan software PhyElp. Bakteri dari setiap kelompok diidentifikasi berdasarkan sekuen gen 16S rDNA dengan menggunakan analisis BLAST dan analisis filogenetik. Jumlah bakteri di saluran pencernaan ikan nila dari tiga tempat relatif sama dan cenderung meningkat ke arah posterior. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ikan nila dari Desa Pandak memiliki proporsi bakteri proteolitik yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan sampel ikan dari Desa Beji dan Tambaksogra. Nilai aktivitas bakteri proteolitik saluran pencernaan ikan nila dari Desa Pandak relatif lebih tinggi dibandingkan dari dua desa lainnya. Bakteri proteolitik dari saluran pencernaan ikan nila dapat dikelompokkan menjadi 15 kelompok berdasarkan polimorfisme hasil digesti fragment gen 16S rDNA. Sampel dari 15 kelompok tersebut memiliki sekuen 16S rDNA yang mirip dengan Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4 isolat), Plesiomonas shigelloides, Escherichia coli, Aeromonas veronii, Klebsiella variicola, Enterobacter ludwigii, Enterobacter hormaechei (2 isolat), Enterobacter cloacae, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens dan Bacillus sp.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Therapeutic plasma exchange is used to manage immune-mediated diseases as early as 1970th. Nevertheless, the evidence beyond the therapeutic indication is still anecdotal and depends on observational data and national registries from different parts of the world. Aim of the Study: To review the use of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) to manage different conditions in the Dubai Hospital-nephrology department and benchmark against standard indications categories by American Society of Apheresis (ASFA) guidelines.
Methods: The study included all adult patients who performed TPE in Dubai Hospital during 24 months period from January 2017 until December 2019. Patient demographics, indications, anticoagulation used, the number of sessions, duration of hospitalization, ICU admission, mortality outcome, and occurrence of procedure-related complications were included.
Results: During the 24 months, 142 TPE sessions were performed for 33 registered patients (an average of 4.3 sessions/patient). The most common indications for TPE use in our registry were nephrology-related indications in 119 sessions (85%), while non-nephrology indications contributed for 21 sessions (15%). Among Nephrology related Indications, Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic purpura was the most common indication (47.8%), followed by post kidney transplantation (21%), while non-Nephrology-related indications were mainly for pancreatitis with Hypertriglyceridemia (9.2%). Complications arose in 2 sessions (1.4%), and mortality occurred in one (3%) critically ill patient related to non-procedure consequences and the severity of the underlying disease.
Conclusion: Our registry data confirm the safety of therapeutic plasma exchange in a professional, well-equipped nephrology setting when used for proper evidence-based indications with a lower rate of morbidity and mortality.

Published: February 2022

Aim.To study the features of contrast enhancement of malignant neoplasms of the liver in patients with and without cirrhosis (LC), to study the differences in the dynamics of contrast enhancement of liver are metastatic lesions (MTS) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Material and methods.A retrospective analysis results 58 patients with HCC (group 1) and 51 patients with liver metastases (group 2) was carried out based on morphological data. According to the criterion for the presence of LC, group 1 was divided into two subgroups. The main method of radiological diagnostics was contrast enhancement ultrasound (CEUS).Results.The indicators of the dynamics of the Wash-in of an ultrasound contrast agent into the HCC node and the dynamics of the drug WASH-OUT from the focus in patients with LC did not significantly differ from those in patients without cirrhosis. HCC is characterized by the onset of leaching of the ultrasound contrast agent after 62 seconds from the beginning of the study, which significantly differs from MTS (p <0.05). The parameters in predicting the G3 stage of the tumor were as follows: the parameter “onset of WASH-OUT” of the from the focus ><79 sec, the parameter “time of maximum WASH-OUT” of the ultrasound contrast agent ><270 seconds. In our opinion, certain difficulties are presented by the diagnosis of highly differentiated carcinomas due to the absence of the WASH-OUT phenomenon in 50% of patients. Differential diagnosis of metastases should be based on a combination of a number of signs, the most important of which, in our opinion, are: early onset of elution of ultrasound contrast agent, “black hole” symptom, peripheral ring-shaped enhancement in arterial phase.>Conclusion.The data obtained with the help of CEUS confirm the effect of “arterialization of hepatic blood flow” in patients with LC. Differences in the parameters of contrasting HCC nodes in subgroups of patients with and without LC are not statistically significant. The polymorphism of the signs detected in MTS in the liver is due to the morphology of the primary tumor and the size of the neoplasms. Differential diagnosis should be based on a combination of signs of the dynamics of ultrasound contrast agents.
