description: A free-range organic broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) premises in Staffordshire was infected by high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N8 during the 2020–2021 epizootic in the United Kingdom (UK). Following initial confirmation of the infection in poultry, multiple wild bird species were seen scavenging on chicken carcasses. Detected dead wild birds were subsequently demonstrated to have been infected and succumbed to HPAIV H5N8. Initially, scavenging species, magpie (Pica pica) and raven (Corvus corax) were found dead on the premises but over the following days, buzzards (Buteo buteo) were also found dead within the local area with positive detection of HPAIV in submitted carcasses. The subacute nature of microscopic lesions within a buzzard was consistent with the timeframe of infection. Finally, a considerable number of free-living pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) were also found dead in the surrounding area, with carcasses having higher viral antigen loads compared to infected chickens. Limited virus dissemination was observed in the carcasses of the magpie, raven, and buzzard. Further, an avirulent avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1) was detected within poultry samples as well as in the viscera of a magpie infected with HPAIV. Immunohistochemistry did not reveal colocalization of avian paramyxovirus antigens with lesions, supporting an avirulent APMV-1 infection. Overall, this case highlights scenarios in which bi-directional transmission of avian viral diseases between commercial and wild bird species may occur. It also underlines the importance of bio separation and reduced access when infection pressure from HPAIV is high.

description: Although an increased effectiveness has been suggested when phages and antibiotics are combined, this approach has not been tested against a mature biofilm on an endotracheal tube (ETT) surface. This study evaluated the effect of short- and long-term combined phage-antibiotic therapy in a control of a mature biofilm on an ETT surface. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, including susceptible and resistant clinical samples, were used to develop the ETT biofilm. Biofilm was treated with 108PFU/mL of phage_2, phage_18 or 5 μg/mL of ceftolozane/tazobactam, alone or in combination with phages. The sequential combination of the two different phages and ceftolozane/tazobactam was also tested. Biofilm viability was assessed after short (2, 4, 24 h) and long-(48, 72 h) term treatment exposure using colony forming unit measurement. For long-term exposition, a new treatment shot was added every 24 h. In the sequential combination, the phage type was switched at 24 h of treatment. Regarding the susceptible strains, the treatments had limited antibiofilm effect after 2, 4 and 24 h. After 48 and 72 h, administering phages alone had no effect on biofilm viability, indicating the emergence of phage-resistant phenotypes. Nonetheless, the combined phage-antibiotic treatment reduced the biofilm viability in about 5-log, whilst antibiotic alone reduced in about 3-log. The sequential combination of phages and antibiotic reduced the biofilm viability in about 6-log. With respect to the resistant strains, no antibiofilm activity was observed regarding the treatment arms. The combination of phages and ceftolozane/tazobactam showed a synergism strain-dependent, being more apparent in susceptible strains.

description: Abstract Immune reactions after trauma are characterized by immediate activation of innate immunity and simultaneously downregulation of adaptive immunity leading to a misbalanced immunohomeostasis and immunosuppression of the injured host. Therefore, the susceptibility to secondary infections is strongly increased after trauma. Immune responses are regulated by a network of immune cells influencing each other and at the same time modifying their functions dependent on the inflammatory environment. Although myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are initially described as T-cell suppressors, their immunomodulatory capacity after trauma is mostly undefined. Therefore, in vitro-generated MDSCs were adoptively transferred into mice after blunt chest trauma (TxT). A single MDSC treatment-induced splenic T-cell expansion decreased apoptosis sensitivity and improved proliferation in the absence of T-cell exhaustion until 2 weeks after trauma. MDSC treatment had a long-lasting effect on the genomic landscape of CD4 + T cells by upregulating primarily Th2-associated genes. Remarkably, immune-activating functions of MDSCs supported the ability of TxT mice to respond to post-traumatic secondary antigen challenge. Secondary insults were mimicked by immunizing MDSC-treated TxT mice with ovalbumin (OVA), followed by OVA restimulation in vitro. MDSC treatment significantly increased the frequency of OVA-specific T cells, enhanced their Th1/Th2 cytokine expression, and induced upregulation of cytolytic molecules finally improving OVA-specific cytotoxicity. Overall, we could show that therapeutic MDSC treatment after TxT improves post-traumatic T-cell functions, which might enable the traumatic host to counterbalance trauma-induced immunoparalysis. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: Individuals differ in how they weigh their own utility versus others’. This tendency codefines the dark factor of personality (D), which is conceptualized as the underlying disposition from which all socially and ethically aversive (dark) traits arise as specific, flavored manifestations. We scrutinize this unique theoretical notion by testing, for a broad set of 58 different traits and related constructs, whether any predict how individuals weigh their own versus others’ utility in proactive allocation decisions (i.e., social value orientations) beyond D. These traits and constructs range from broad dimensions (e.g., agreeableness), to aversive traits (e.g., sadism) and beliefs (e.g., normlessness), to prosocial tendencies (e.g., compassion). In a large-scale longitudinal study involving the assessment of consequential choices (median N = 2,270; a heterogeneous adult community sample from Germany), results from several hundred latent model comparisons revealed that no meaningful incremental variance was explained beyond D. Thus, D alone is sufficient to represent the social preferences inherent in socially and ethically aversive personality traits.

description: Abstract A growing number of druggable targets and national initiatives for precision oncology necessitate broad genomic profiling for many cancer patients. Whole exome sequencing (WES) offers unbiased analysis of the entire coding sequence, segmentation-based detection of copy number alterations (CNAs), and accurate determination of complex biomarkers including tumor mutational burden (TMB), homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD), and microsatellite instability (MSI). To assess the inter-institution variability of clinical WES, we performed a comparative pilot study between German Centers of Personalized Medicine (ZPMs) from five participating institutions. Tumor and matched normal DNA from 30 patients were analyzed using custom sequencing protocols and bioinformatic pipelines. Calling of somatic variants was highly concordant with a positive percentage agreement (PPA) between 91 and 95% and a positive predictive value (PPV) between 82 and 95% compared with a three-institution consensus and full agreement for 16 of 17 druggable targets. Explanations for deviations included low VAF or coverage, differing annotations, and different filter protocols. CNAs showed overall agreement in 76% for the genomic sequence with high wet-lab variability. Complex biomarkers correlated strongly between institutions (HRD: 0.79–1, TMB: 0.97–0.99) and all institutions agreed on microsatellite instability. This study will contribute to the development of quality control frameworks for comprehensive genomic profiling and sheds light onto parameters that require stringent standardization.

description: This study examines the works of Mirabai, Emily Dickinson, and Christina Rossetti to explore how devotional poetry—a genre traditionally associated with submission—has served as a platform for feminist dissent. Through comparative analysis, it reveals how these poets, across distinct cultural and historical contexts, used spirituality as a tool for autonomy and resistance against patriarchal norms. Mirabai's Bhakti poetry subverts societal expectations through devotion to Krishna, Rossetti critiques Victorian ideals of purity, and Dickinson redefines religious narratives to assert individuality. Together, their works illuminate the global interplay between faith, womanhood, and resistance, positioning devotional poetry as a medium of empowerment.

description: Background/Objectives : Current guidelines recommend Cisplatin/Gemcitabine/Durvalumab as first-line treatment for inoperable or recurrent cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Molecular tumor boards (MTB) have the expertise to support organ-specific tumor boards with evidence-based treatment recommendations for subsequent lines of treatment, based on genomic tumor data and scientific evidence. This study evaluates the adoption of an MTB at a comprehensive cancer center in Germany and whether actionable genetic alterations are associated with specific imaging phenotypes. Methods : Patients with CCA referred to MTB were enrolled from May 2019 to September 2021. For comparison, a cohort of patients from a second center was included. Data on treatment recommendations, regimens, and survival were collected from prospective registries. Baseline and follow-up contrast-enhanced CT were analyzed according to RECIST 1.1. The chi-square test and t -test were used to compare categorical and continuous variables. Results : 583 patients were referred to the MTB, and 92 patients (47 female/51%) with a mean age of 60.3 ± 11.2 were referred for CCA treatment. 65/92 patients harbored 1–3 targetable mutations. Liver metastases were more frequently observed in patients with targetable mutations (84% vs. 62%). Metastasis to the liver and lung was associated with increased sums of diameters (93 mm and 111 mm vs. 40/73 mm in patients with no liver/lung metastasis). The number of metastases in individual organs was unrelated to treatment targets. Follow-up was available for 25 patients with a median time until imaging progression of 23 weeks. Progression occurred as target progression in 63%, nontarget progression in 13%, and appearance of new lesions in 63%. Conclusions : Most patients with CCA harbored targetable mutations, some were related to disease patterns on imaging. The pattern of treatment response and progression was as diverse as the metastatic spread.

description: The wave optics processes in a Fabry–Pérot cavity with a length of about tens of millimeters are considered. Such cavities are used, among other applications, in optomechanical accelerometers for precise measurement of displacement of moving elements. A Fabry–Pérot cavity formed by a spherical and flat mirror is considered. The influence of parameters characterizing the alignment of the Fabry–Pérot cavity mirrors and the laser beam on the appearance of the higher order modes is investigated using numerical modeling. It is shown that the angle of inclination of the flat mirror of the cavity greatly affects the occurrence of higher order modes in addition to the fundamental mode. The levels of displacement of the axis of a spherical mirror in the vertical direction which do not cause the emergence of higher order modes is shown. The influence of the degree of displacement of the laser beam axis in the vertical direction relative to the symmetry axis of the Fabry–Pérot cavity is also investigated.

description: Encopognathus bellulus (Dalla Torre, 1897)
Oxybelus bellus Cameron, 1890: 280, ♂ (Junior homonym of O. bellus Dahlbom, 1844).
Oxybelus bellulus Dalla Torre, 1897: 638, substitute name for Oxybelus bellus Cameron, 1890.
Fig. 7 (A–G)
Diagnosis. Characters of our male specimen agree with Leclercq’s key (1986: 508, couplet 2) in the following combination of characters: gena without postocular sulcus; thorax and gaster with extensive yellow; antenna 13- segmented, scape concave on outer side in apical half, F1 distinctly expanded ventrally, F2 concave ventrally; pronotal collar angulate laterally; metanotum normal, smooth; pygidial plate densely punctate, punctures greatly hidden behind dense silvery mixed with golden setae. However, it differs from E. bellulus by its smaller size (5.0 mm) (8.0 mm in E. bellulus). Identification of this male was confirmed by Dr. W. Pulawski, who compared its photographs with males from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Pakistan, and Senegal in California Academy of Sciences collection (pers. comm.)
Material examined: 1♂, Abu Arish (Jazan Province) [16º58'N 42º49'E], 16–23.iii.2023, Malaise trap on Mangifera indica, Usama M. Abu El-Ghiet collector.
Comments. This is the first record of E. bellulus for Jazan and second record for Saudi Arabia, as it was recorded from El Riyadh about fifty years ago (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) (Leclercq, 1977).

description: Although an increased effectiveness has been suggested when phages and antibiotics are combined, this approach has not been tested against a mature biofilm on an endotracheal tube (ETT) surface. This study evaluated the effect of short- and long-term combined phage-antibiotic therapy in a control of a mature biofilm on an ETT surface. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, including susceptible and resistant clinical samples, were used to develop the ETT biofilm. Biofilm was treated with 108PFU/mL of phage_2, phage_18 or 5 μg/mL of ceftolozane/tazobactam, alone or in combination with phages. The sequential combination of the two different phages and ceftolozane/tazobactam was also tested. Biofilm viability was assessed after short (2, 4, 24 h) and long-(48, 72 h) term treatment exposure using colony forming unit measurement. For long-term exposition, a new treatment shot was added every 24 h. In the sequential combination, the phage type was switched at 24 h of treatment. Regarding the susceptible strains, the treatments had limited antibiofilm effect after 2, 4 and 24 h. After 48 and 72 h, administering phages alone had no effect on biofilm viability, indicating the emergence of phage-resistant phenotypes. Nonetheless, the combined phage-antibiotic treatment reduced the biofilm viability in about 5-log, whilst antibiotic alone reduced in about 3-log. The sequential combination of phages and antibiotic reduced the biofilm viability in about 6-log. With respect to the resistant strains, no antibiofilm activity was observed regarding the treatment arms. The combination of phages and ceftolozane/tazobactam showed a synergism strain-dependent, being more apparent in susceptible strains.

description: The recently much noticed Far-UVC spectral range offers the possibility of inactivating pathogens without necessarily posing a major danger to humans. Unfortunately, there are various Far-UVC sources that differ significantly in their longer wavelength UVC emission and, subsequently, in their risk potential. Therefore, a simple assessment method for Far-UVC sources is presented here. In addition, the temporal intensity stability of Far-UVC sources was examined in order to reduce possible errors in irradiation measurements. For this purpose, four Far-UVC sources and a conventional Hg UVC lamp were each spectrally measured for about 100 h and mathematically evaluated for their antimicrobial effect and hazard potential using available standard data. The two filtered KrCl lamps were found to be most stable after a warm-up time of 30 min. With regard to the antimicrobial effect, the radiation efficiencies of all examined (Far-) UVC sources were more or less similar. However, the calculated differences in the potential human hazard to eyes and skin were more than one order of magnitude. The two filtered KrCl lamps were the safest, followed by an unfiltered KrCl lamp, a Far-UVC LED and, finally, the Hg lamp. When experimenting with these Far-UVC radiation sources, the irradiance should be checked more than once. If UVC radiation is to be or could be applied in the presence of humans, filtered KrCl lamps are a much better choice than any other available Far-UVC sources.

description: Abstract Due to their high developmental diversity and different regulatory and functional roles, B cell subpopulations can promote or inhibit tumor growth. An orthotopic murine HNSCC model was applied to investigate the B cell composition and function in HNSCCs. Using flow cytometry approaches, cells from the spleen, lymph nodes and tumors were analyzed. Additionally, immunoglobulin (Ig) levels post-tumor induction were tracked via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Following tumor induction, GCs, as well as increasing numbers of GL7 + CD95 + GC B cells in the spleen and tumor tissues, were detected. In parallel, we observed CD39 + CD73 + B cells in tumors and spleens of tumor-bearing mice. Notably, CD39 + CD73 + expression was primarily detected on MZ B cells and to a lesser extent on follicular (FO) and non-follicular, newly formed (NF) B cells, supposing an immunosuppressive function of MZ B cells in the TME. Parallel to increased MZ B cell numbers in secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) as well as in the tumor tissue, IgM antibody (Ab) levels rose continuously. In contrast, IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 levels increased at later time points. Understanding the complex interactions between B cell subsets and the TME could lead to new strategies for enhancing the treatment and prognosis of HNSCC patients.

description: Echovirus 11 (E11) has gained attention owing to its association with severe neonatal infections. From 2018 to 2023, a surge in severe neonatal cases and fatalities linked to a novel variant of genotype D5 was documented in China, France, and Italy. However, the prevention and control of E11 variants have been hampered by limited background data on the virus circulation and genetic variance. Therefore, the present study investigated the circulating dynamics of E11 and the genetic variation and molecular evolution of genotype D5 through the collection of strains from the national acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) surveillance system in China during 2000–2022 and genetic sequences published in the GenBank database. The results of this study revealed a prevalent dynamic of E11 circulation, with D5 being the predominant genotype worldwide. Further phylogenetic analysis of genotype D5 indicated that it could be subdivided into three important geographic clusters (D5-CHN1: 2014–2019, D5-CHN2: 2016–2022, and D5-EUR: 2022–2023). Additionally, variant-specific (144) amino acid mutation sites and positive-selection pressure sites (132, 262) were identified in the VP1 region. Cluster-specific recombination patterns were also identified, with CVB5, E6, and CVB4 as the major recombinant viruses. These findings provide a preliminary landscape of E11 circulation worldwide and basic scientific data for further study of the pathogenicity of E11 variants.
