Published: October 2022

AbstractBronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung dysplasia. An intralobar sequestration (ILS) is a nonfunctional mass within the lung parenchyma without bronchial communication and with aberrant systemic arterial blood supply. Surgical resection or close observation can be proposed in the management of asymptomatic and low-risk ILS, but there is a lack of consensus. Endovascular embolization before thoracoscopic resection of ILS has been described to limit perioperative bleeding. Another technique previously reported is the injection of methylene blue in the feeding artery to macroscopically mark the sequestration from the healthy lung. In that way, a nonanatomical resection can be performed instead of a lobectomy without the risk of leaving abnormal lung tissue in place. We describe the first two cases of these two techniques combined: a 3-year-old girl with an ILS in the right lower lobe with an artery originating from the abdominal aorta, and a 14-month-old girl with an ILS in the right lower lobe with an artery coming from the celiac trunk.The combination of embolization and injection of methylene blue in the aberrant artery leads to a clear macroscopic demarcation of the blue-colored ILS from the healthy lung parenchyma and allowed safe nonanatomical resection of the ILS without risk of bleeding or compromising normal lung tissue.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackground Although surgical drains are widely used after lower gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, complications may occur. Specifically, sporadic cases of drain migration into a hollow viscus, most commonly regarding active drains and treated with surgical removal, have been reported. Herein, we present a case of a passive drain (penrose) migration into the colon, after segmental sigmoidectomy with primary anastomosis, presented with hematochezia.Methods A 37-year-old male patient suffering from colovesical fistula, due to sigmoid diverticulitis, underwent resection of the fistula, the involved sigmoid segment and the bladder opening, followed by primary anastomosis of the colon and primary closure of the bladder. A penrose catheter was positioned near the anastomosis.Results On 8th postoperative day (POD) the patient had three episodes of hematochezia and blood in the drain collection bag, followed by relative improvement. On 15th POD gas was observed on the drain's collection bag and a new episode of hematochezia led him to sigmoidoscopy. The endoscopy revealed the presence of the penrose drain intraluminally, protruding via an ulcer at the level of the anastomosis. The penrose repositioned outside the lumen and metallic clips were used to approximate the defect. The patient was then fully recovered, discharged, and the drain removed on follow-up.Conclusion To our knowledge this is the first report of drain migration presented with hematochezia, after lower GI surgery, avoided reoperation, and resolved with removal of the drain under direct endoscopic vision.

Abstract
Respiratory tract diseases are responsible for major economic losses in the poultry industry. Avian metapneumovirus is a pathogen that causes acute infections in the upper airways of turkeys and chickens, is associated with Swollen Head Syndrome, and generates variable morbidity between 1% and 20% in chickens. Turkey Rhinotracheitis has a morbidity of up to 100%. The frequent presence of secondary agents or infections associated with other microorganisms can aggravate the syndrome. The clinical diagnosis itself is not sufficient to determine metapneumovirus infections since the disease can be confused with other respiratory problems. Serological methods such as seroneutralisation, immunofluorescence and ELISA, immunohistochemistry, virus isolation from embryonated eggs or tissue cultures and PCR are the main techniques used in the diagnosis of avian metapneumovirus infections. Therefore, a laboratory diagnosis confirming the presence of this pathogen is necessary. Currently, several methods are available, with varying applications and sensitivity. This work describes the current diagnostic methods and presents their advantages and limitations.
Possibilities for probabilities

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In ordinary situations involving a small part of the universe, Born's rule seems to work
well for calculating probabilities of observations in quantum theory. However, there are a number
of reasons for believing that it is not adequate for many cosmological purposes. Here a number of
possible generalizations of Born's rule are discussed, explaining why they are consistent with the
present statistical support for Born's rule in ordinary situations but can help solve various
cosmological problems.

AbstractEcosystems in the North American Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) experience a diverse set of disturbances associated with wildfire, permafrost dynamics, geomorphic processes, insect outbreaks and pathogens, extreme weather events, and human activity. Climate warming in the ABZ is occurring at over twice the rate of the global average, and as a result the extent, frequency, and severity of these disturbances are increasing rapidly. Disturbances in the ABZ span a wide gradient of spatiotemporal scales and have varying impacts on ecosystem properties and function. However, many ABZ disturbances are relatively understudied and have different sensitivities to climate and trajectories of recovery, resulting in considerable uncertainty in the impacts of climate warming and human land use on ABZ vegetation dynamics and in the interactions between disturbance types. Here we review the current knowledge of ABZ disturbances and their precursors, ecosystem impacts, temporal frequencies, spatial extents, and severity. We also summarize current knowledge of interactions and feedbacks among ABZ disturbances and characterize typical trajectories of vegetation loss and recovery in response to ecosystem disturbance using satellite time-series. We conclude with a summary of critical data and knowledge gaps and identify priorities for future study.

AbstractBioplastics are plastics made from biopolymers as an alternative to commercial plastics to reduce environmental pollution. Starch from rice bran waste is an essential biopolymer material, and chitin from shrimp shell waste; can be converted into chitin nanowhiskers (CNWs) that can strengthen biopolymer materials. A glycerol plasticizer was added to improve its elasticity. This research aims to determine the potential of starch from rice bran waste and CNWs from shrimp shell waste as ingredients in the production of bioplastics with the addition of glycerol plasticizer and its degradation property through soil burial testing. This fundamental research consists of chitin extraction, CNW production, starch extraction, bioplastic production, tensile strength testing, water uptake testing and soil burial testing on the sand, humus, and compost. The use of rice bran starch and shrimp shell CNW as ingredients in the production of bioplastics are deemed potential. This bioplastic exhibited low mechanical properties such as tensile strength and water uptake but outstanding degradation in the soil burial testing.

Abstract
The agricultural sector is one of the important sectors in people’s lives as well as an important role in Indonesia’s economic growth. However, agriculture in Indonesia is not a few who still use conventional technology, so an agricultural system that can make it easier for farmers to manage their agricultural land is needed. In this system, a smart irrigation system is developed which is implemented for precision farming, by utilizing IoT technology as a means of connection between devices as well as monitoring and controlling irrigation. Parameter values such as air humidity, air temperature, soil moisture, and soil pH measured on the sensor will be sent to the database server to be displayed on the front end of the website so that users can access them using their respective devices. In addition, the soil moisture value stored in the database will later be used by the solenoid controller component to carry out the watering process.

Abstract
Extraction of dissolved protein of Channa Striata from Tarakan, North Borneo, as a source of fish serum albumin has been done. Albumin is a water-soluble protein and it is applied in various fields, including health, industry, and technology. The many benefits of albumin make albumin very important. However, albumin is a protein found in the body of living things, so it is necessary to perform the separation process. One of the living things that contain relatively high albumin is snakehead fish (Channa striata). The dissolved protein was extracted from snakehead fish meat using water as a solvent at a temperature of 50 °C. The protein obtained was characterized using proximate analysis and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrophotometer. The proximate analysis showed that the water, the fat, and the protein content were 8.67%, 3%, and 64.18%, respectively. The FTIR spectrum showed an amide group at 1600-1700 cm−1 which is important in the albumin functional group. This study shows that snakehead fish in Tarakan, North Kalimantan has the potential as a source of fish serum albumin.
Performance Improvement of Grid Mapping K-Means with the Average Value at Grid Point
Authors: Ginting Salomo , Efendi Syahril , Suwilo Saib 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
K-Means is a method that is well-known for its ability to handle large datasets, but is often stuck in a local optima state. This issue happens because K-Means generally uses random numbers to serve as the center point (centroid) of each cluster, and places each instance based on the proximity of the distance using Euclidean Distance. Hence, the concept of density parameter was developed, which tries to determine the ideal centroid based on the determination of several grid points in each existing cluster. The concept is known as Grid Mapping. In simple terms, Grid Mapping K-Means is a method in which each cluster is divided into several grid points, and then the centroid is randomly determined from each existing grid point. Further, the grid point with the largest number of instance is used as the initial centroid of each cluster. However, this method certainly has a weakness, since there is a possibility that the initial centroid on the generated grid point is not the best initial centroid. Therefore, this study was conducted to test the determination of initial centroid by Grid Mapping K-Means.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a powerful approach to study dynamics associated with both thickness and refractive index fluctuations. In this work, we propose a coherent diffractive QPI scheme based on single-pixel imaging structure and coherent modulation imaging. In this scheme, digital micro-mirror device with high refresh rate is employed for structured illumination. Synchronously, a single point detector is used to perform mode selected measurement of diffraction intensity. Based on the illumination structure and point signals, phase imaging is realized using a reweighted amplitude flow phase retrieval algorithm. Non-interference modality omits the reference arm, which simplifies the apparatus and improves the system robustness. This proposed technique is demonstrated by QPI of both digital binary and grayscale objects. The three-dimensional profile measurement of a plano-convex lens shows the possibility of phase retrieval for real objects. Accordingly our technique will promote the application of single-pixel phase imaging to biomedical imaging, x-ray diffraction imaging and three-dimensional profilometry.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The increase in fuel prices and environmental pollution has urged the need for more efficient and environment-friendly paths to operating gas turbines. One way to tackle this is by increasing the inlet temperature in the turbines. The present study is to understand the effect of thermal cycling on the microstructural degradation of Pt-Al coating on CM247 LC substrate. Pt-Al coated samples are subjected to 1000 °C for 480 cycles. Each cycle consists of 55 min of heat exposure and 5 min of cooling. The cross-section of each sample is subjected to image analysis to understand the compositional variation under cyclic conditions. The β-NiAl and RE concentration show a decreasing trend with an increase in the number of cycles, whereas γ’-Ni3Al and porosity concentration show an increasing trend with an increase in the number of cycles. 60–70 vol. % γ’-Ni3Al concentration must be present to affect adversely the coating degradation significantly.
How I Diagnose EBV-Positive B- and T-Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Authors: Dojcinov Stefan D , Quintanilla-Martinez Leticia 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–associated lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) encompass a group of well-defined entities of B-, T-, and natural killer (NK)–cell derivation. The diagnosis of these disorders is challenging because of clinical and morphologic features that may overlap with other benign and malignant EBV+ lymphoproliferations. This review describes our approach to the diagnosis of EBV-associated LPDs.

Methods
Two cases are presented that illustrate how we diagnose EBV-associated LPDs. The first case represents a systemic EBV+ T-cell lymphoma of childhood and the second case an EBV+ mucocutaneous ulcer. The clinicopathologic features that help distinguish these entities from biological and morphologic mimickers are emphasized.

Results
The accurate diagnosis of EBV-associated LPDs requires the incorporation of histologic and immunophenotypic features, the assessment of the EBV latency program, and, most important, complete clinical findings. Clonality analysis is not helpful in distinguishing benign from malignant EBV+ LPDs.

Conclusions
The better understanding of EBV-associated LPDs has resulted in the recognition of well-defined entities of B-, T-, and NK-cell derivation and consequently improvement of their treatment with curative intent. It is critical to distinguish benign from malignant EBV+ LPDs to avoid overtreatment.

Abstract

Background
The recombinant protein-based vaccine, NVX-CoV2373, demonstrated 89.7% efficacy against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in the United Kingdom. The protocol was amended to include a blinded crossover. Data to the end of the placebo-controlled phase are reported.

Methods
Adults aged 18–84 years received 2 doses of NVX-CoV2373 or placebo (1:1) and were monitored for virologically confirmed mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19 (onset from 7 days after second vaccination). Participants who developed immunoglobulin G (IgG) against nucleocapsid protein but did not show symptomatic COVID-19 were considered asymptomatic. Secondary outcomes included anti-spike (S) IgG responses, wild-type virus neutralization, and T-cell responses.

Results
Of 15 185 participants, 13 989 remained in the per-protocol efficacy population (6989 NVX-CoV2373, 7000 placebo). At a maximum of 7.5 months (median, 4.5) postvaccination, there were 24 cases of COVID-19 among NVX-CoV2373 recipients and 134 cases among placebo recipients, a vaccine efficacy of 82.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 73.3%–88.8%). Vaccine efficacy was 100% (95% CI, 17.9%–100.0%) against severe disease and 76.3% (95% CI, 57.4%–86.8%) against asymptomatic disease. High anti-S and neutralization responses to vaccination were evident, together with S-protein–specific induction of interferon-γ secretion in peripheral blood T cells. Incidence of serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest were similar between groups.

Conclusions
A 2-dose regimen of NVX-CoV2373 conferred a high level of ongoing protection against asymptomatic, symptomatic, and severe COVID-19 through &gt;6 months postvaccination. A gradual decrease of protection suggests that a booster may be indicated.

Abstract
Bats (Chiroptera) constitute the second largest order of mammals and have several distinctive features, such as true self-powered flight and strong immunity. The Pendlebury’s roundleaf bat, Hipposideros pendleburyi, is endemic to Thailand and listed as a vulnerable species. We employed the 10× Genomics linked-read technology to obtain a genome assembly of H. pendleburyi. The assembly size was 2.17 Gb with a scaffold N50 length of 15,398,518 bases. Our phylogenetic analysis placed H. pendleburyi within the rhinolophoid clade of the suborder Yinpterochiroptera. A synteny analysis showed that H. pendleburyi shared conserved chromosome segments (up to 105 Mb) with Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Phyllostomus discolor albeit having different chromosome numbers and belonging different families. We found positive selection signals in genes involved in inflammation, spermatogenesis and Wnt signalling. The analyses of transposable elements suggested the contraction of short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) and the accumulation of young mariner DNA transposons in the analysed hipposiderids. Distinct mariners were likely horizontally transferred to hipposiderid genomes over the evolution of this family. The lineage-specific profiles of SINEs and mariners might involve in the evolution of hipposiderids and be associated with the phylogenetic separations of these bats from other bat families.
