We apply our novel automated image interpretation workflow to Brazilian pre-salt ultrasonic borehole image data. We obtain an immediate, un-biased classification of the full data, requiring no further input data beyond the borehole image itself. This interactive solution combines statistical and deep learning algorithms for image embedding to provide data-driven, multi-purpose borehole image interpretation. Borehole images are a source of important information for building static reservoir models. Textures observed in these high-resolution well logs are the results of and provide insights into the different processes that have occurred: from the moment of the deposition until the image acquisition. Each field, reservoir, well, and interval has a unique textural assemblage, consequence of its own depositional facies, diagenetic processes, geomechanics and wellbore conditions or well intervention and completion. Efforts to automate facies interpretation in our industry often rely on applying supervised machine learning models. These supervised algorithms are restricted to executing very specific tasks, based on extensive amounts of consistently labeled data. In the example of depositional geological classification, generating labeled data can be a complex and extensive task, subject to interpreters’ experience – resulting in a low human performance benchmark. The solution proposed here comprises a sequence of five steps: •	Prepare data; •	Apply a first embedding step using statisticalmethods or convolutional autoencoders; •	Apply PCA or t-SNE techniques as the secondembedding step; •	Perform manual or automatic clustering; •	Finally, assign a facies class to each textural group. This paper discusses applying this innovative workflow to acoustic borehole images of pre-salt carbonates from the Santos basin. Various preprocessing and embedding options were tested and compared to the geological core interpretation. Using statistics, semi-supervised t-SNE and k-means clustering methods, we divide the data into textural groups and describe these groups according to their distinct geological, diagenetic or geomechanical characteristics. With this new approach, facies are defined based solely on borehole image logs in a fast, consistent and less user-biased form. Ultimately, our innovative workflow allows us to not only gain insights into the depositional, geological and geomechanical processes and their correlation with the pre-salt carbonates reservoir quality, but to establish a more efficient, reliable method for borehole image interpretation in general.
Soviet Medical Internationalism amid Destalinization, 1953–1958
Authors: Michaels Paula A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article reconstructs the story of the Soviet Union’s medical internationalism amid the early years of destalinization, when it re-engaged more actively in the global health community. How did the USSR attempt to leverage medicine as a tool of soft power in both multilateral and bilateral relations? Based on records of the USSR Ministry of Health and the Medical Workers Union, as well as newspapers and other published sources, it analyzes what destalinization meant for physicians and public health administrators who sought greater exchange with and connection to their colleagues abroad. A widening web of interconnections in this transitional period paved the way to greater integration in a global medical community. Soviet medical and health professionals nurtured international relationships with a range of strategies, expectations, and aspirations. They used these opportunities to learn, and also to speak back to their superiors and to shape the trajectories of domestic research agendas.

Introduction: Since the start of pandemic new variants have been evolving and moving from one country to another either by air travel or ground crossings.Objective: To find out factors associated with noncompliance of recommended guidelines by international passengers so that we can improve the arrangements at airports where required, improve future preparedness, and give recommendations to concerned authorities for improvement in enforcing guidelines.Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Islamabad International Airport during the months of June and July 2021. The study population included international arriving passengers aged 12 years and above. Questions were asked about following guidelines before boarding, on board, and after disembarkation. Twenty questions were asked to assess compliance level. A median cut off value was set for assessment of noncompliance.Results: The male to female ratio was 1:1. The age range was 12 – 75 years. The odds of noncompliance to guidelines was higher in females compared to males. The results revealed a significant association between region of arrival of respondents and noncompliance. Passengers arriving from Afghanistan, France , UK and USA were more likely to be noncompliant to guidelines (p-value = 0.00). There was a significant association between occupation of participants and noncompliance. Housewives and retired were more likely to be noncompliant (p-value = 0.00). A significant association was observed between vaccinated people and noncompliance.Conclusion: Travelers arriving from some specific countries were noncompliant to guidelines. Vaccinated were most noncompliant which indicates still we need to work on awareness and need legislations, fines or travel restrictions to noncompliant travellers.

Bromine-rich lithium argyrodite electrolytes with high ionic conductivity and low cost are promising for the replacement of flammable liquid electrolytes and separators in lithium-ion batteries. However, the synthesis process of argyrodite electrolytes is usually complex and time-consuming. We use a facile solid-state reaction method to obtain a highly Li-ion conductive Li5.5PS4.5Br1.5 (LPSB). The influence of annealing temperature on the phase and ionic conductivity of the LPSB was investigated for the first time. High ionic conductivity of 5.21 × 10−3 S cm−1 at room temperature for the LPSB with minor LiBr impurity was achieved by direct annealing at 430°C for 8 h. The In/InLi | LPSB | LiCoO2@ LiNb0.5Ta0.5O3 (LCO(coated))-LPSB cell with 8.53 mg cm−2 LCO loading shows a discharge capacity of 102 mAh g−1 with high-capacity retention of 93% after 70 cycles at 0.5 mA cm−2 at 30°C.

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic accuracy of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for cryptococcosis in patients with different immune statuses with that of conventional detection.MethodsA total of 1442 specimens including 71 specimens from patients with cryptococcosis were analyzed in the study. The chi square test was used to screen the sensitivity and specificity of different detection methods for different specimen types. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mNGS results with age, CD4, lymphocytes, IFN, IL-6, IL-2 and serum antigen assay.ResultsThe sensitivity of mNGS was 44.29% in Cryptococcus infection cases. The positive rate of mNGS results for bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF, 87.50%) from immunocompromised patients was higher than that of BALF from immunocompetent patients (40.00%, p=0.04). The sensitivity of the serum Cryptococcus capsular antigen assay was 80.00% in immunocompetent patients and 96.42% in immunocompromised patients (p = 0.049). A positive rate of detection of Cryptococcus from mNGS was higher when cryptococcal antigen ≥1:160 (p=0.022) in immunocompromised patients. A positive rate of detection of Cryptococcus from mNGS was higher when lymphocyte counts were lower in both immunocompetent patients(p=0.017) and in immunocompromised patients(p=0.029).ConclusionsThe sensitivity of mNGS is lower than that of serum cryptococcal antigen assay and histopathology in immunocompetent patients. However, BALF detection is recommend for immunocompromised patients compared with tissue and CSF. The positive mNGS result was correlated with lower lymphocyte counts, higher IL-2 and higher serum antigen assay in immunocompromised patients.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundEvidence from longitudinal studies has shown that influenza infection is linked to an increased risk of arrhythmia. Therefore, we aimed to assess the role of influenza vaccination in arrhythmia prevention.Materials and methodsThe PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify studies that investigated the potential effects of the influenza vaccine on arrhythmia risk published until October 25th, 2021. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022300815).ResultsOne RCT with 2,532 patients and six observational studies with 3,167,445 patients were included. One RCT demonstrated a non-significant benefit of the influenza vaccine against arrhythmias [odds ratio (OR) = 0.43, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.11–1.64; P = 0.20] in patients after myocardial infarction or those with high-risk stable coronary heart disease. A meta-analysis based on observational studies showed that vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of arrhythmia (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.70–0.97; P = 0.02; I2 = 76%). Additionally, subgroup analysis showed a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) (OR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90–0.98; P = 0.006; I2 = 0%) and a non-significant but positive trend concerning ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.42–1.11; P = 0.12; I2 = 85%) after influenza vaccination.ConclusionBased on the current evidence, influenza vaccination may be associated with a reduced risk of arrhythmia, especially AF. Influenza vaccination may be an effective tool for the prevention of arrhythmias. The effect of influenza vaccination on the risk of VAs and arrhythmias in patients at low risk for cardiovascular diseases should be further studied.Systematic review registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/], identifier [CRD42022300815].
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with left bundle branch block: Patterns of dyssynchrony and implications for late gadolinium enhancement imaging
Authors: Petersen Antonia , Nagel Sebastian Niko , Hamm Bernd , Elgeti Thomas , Schaafs Lars-Arne 
Published: October 2022

BackgroundLeft bundle branch block (LBBB) is a ventricular conduction delay with high prevalence. Aim of our study is to identify possible recurring patterns of artefacts in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging in patients with LBBB who undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to define parameters of mechanical dyssynchrony associated with artefacts in LGE images.Materials and methodsFifty-five patients with LBBB and 62 controls were retrospectively included. Inversion time (TI) scout and LGE images were reviewed for artefacts. Dyssynchrony was identified using cardiac MRI by determining left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony indices (global, septal segments, and free wall segments) derived from strain analysis and features of mechanical dyssynchrony (apical rocking and septal flash).ResultsThirty-seven patients (67%) with LBBB exhibited inhomogeneous myocardial nulling in TI scout images. Among them 25 (68%) patients also showed recurring artefact patterns in the septum or free wall on LGE images and artefacts also persisted in 18 (72%) of those cases when utilising phase sensitive inversion recovery. Only the systolic dyssynchrony index of septal segments allowed differentiation of patient subgroups (artefact/no artefact) and healthy controls (given as median, median ± interquartile range); LBBB with artefact: 10.44% (0.44–20.44%); LBBB without artefact: 6.82% (-2.18–15.83%); controls: 4.38% (1.38–7.38%); p &lt; 0.05 with an area under the curve of 0.863 (81% sensitivity, 89% specificity). Septal flash and apical rocking were more frequent in the LBBB with artefact group than in the LBBB without artefact group (70 and 62% versus 33 and 17%; p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionPatients with LBBB show recurring artefact patterns in LGE imaging. Use of strain analysis and evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony may predict the occurrence of such artefacts already during the examination and counteract misinterpretation.

BackgroundTreated or untreated non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) diagnosed in childhood could pose an increased risk of obesity and metabolic derangements in adolescence and early adulthood. We aimed to explore the interaction between muscle-to-fat ratio (MFR) and components of metabolic syndrome in pediatric subjects with NCCAH.MethodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted in the Tel Aviv Medical Center from January 2018 to January 2022. The study group comprised 75 subjects (26 males) with NCCAH (61 hydrocortisone-treated [21 males] and 14 untreated [5 males]) and 134 healthy sex- and age-matched subjects (41 males) with normal puberty served as controls. Body composition was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and muscle-to-fat ratio (MFR) z-scores were calculated. Stepwise linear regression models were applied to evaluate explanatory variables for MFR z-scores, blood pressure percentiles, lipid profiles, and glucose metabolism.ResultsThe median age [interquartile range] was 7.5 years [5.3, 8.8] at NCCAH diagnosis and 12.3 years [8.9, 15.4] at BIA. The median cumulative hydrocortisone dose was 7620 mg/m2 [2547, 12903]. Subjects with NCCAH had higher mean BMI z-scores and lower median MFR z-scores compared to controls [(0.47 ± 0.97 vs. -0.19 ± 1.04, p&lt;0.001) and (-0.74 [-1.06, -0.14] vs.-0.37 [-0.99, 0.15], p=0.045), respectively]. The linear regression models dependent variables and their explanatory variables were: MFR z-score (R2= 0.253, p&lt;0.001) - socioeconomic position index (β=0.348, p=0.003), birthweight z-score (β=-0.258, p=0.013), and duration of hydrocortisone treatment in years (β=0.048, p=0.023); systolic blood pressure percentile (R2 = 0.166, p&lt;0.001) - MFR z-score (β=-9.75, p&lt;0.001); TG/HDL ratio (R2 = 0.116, p=0.024) - MFR z-score (β=-0.300, p=0.024). No significant variables were found for glucose.ConclusionsChildren and adolescents with NCCAH have a body composition characterized by an imbalance between muscle and fat tissues, which may place them at increased risk for early-onset cardiometabolic derangements. It is reassuring that glucocorticoid therapy aimed to alleviate androgen overproduction does not appear to adversely affect their body composition.

ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate the short and long-term metabolic consequences of IGF1R systemic gene deficiency in mice.MethodsUBC-CreERT2, Igf1rfl/fl mutant mice were used to suppress IGF1R signaling in adult tissues by inducing postnatal generalized Igf1r deletion with tamoxifen. Animals were analyzed at two different ages: i) 13-weeks old young mice, and ii) 12-months old middle-aged mice. In addition, the effects of 10 weeks-long high-fat diet (HFD) were investigated in middle-aged mice.ResultsYoung IGF1R-deficient mice were insulin-resistant, with high IGF1, growth hormone (GH) and IGFBP3, as well as low IGFBP2 circulating levels. Males also presented increased triglycerides in liver. In contrast, middle-aged mice did not clearly show all of these alterations, suggesting possible compensatory effects. Middle-aged IGF1R-deficient male mice were able to counteract the negative effects induced by aging and HFD in adiposity, inflammation and glucose metabolism. A metabolic sexual dimorphism dependent on IGF1R was observed, especially in middle-aged mice.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that IGF1R is involved in metabolic homeostasis, with effects modulated by diet-induced obesity and aging in a sex dependent manner. Thus, IGF1R deficiency in mice is proposed as a useful tool to understand metabolic alterations observed in patients with IGF1R gene deletions.
