description: ANSWERS TO SELF-ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS
1. What is the most common etiology of monomicrobial (type 2) necrotizing
fasciitis?
a. Acinetobacter baumannii
b. Staphylococcus aureus
c. Streptococcus pyogenes
d. Vibrio vulnificus
Answer: c. Although all of the organisms listed cause type 2 necrotizing fasciitis,
the most common cause is still S. pyogenes, with an incidence of 0.4 per 100,000
in the United States. Due to variations in reporting practices, the exact incidences
of other etiologies are not known, but they are less common than S. pyogenes.

description: We investigate the transport of excitations through a chain of atoms with non-local dissipation introduced through coupling to additional short-lived states. The system is described by an effective spin-1/2 model where the ratio of the exchange interaction strength to the reservoir coupling strength determines the type of transport, including coherent exciton motion, incoherent hopping and a regime in which an emergent length scale leads to a preferred hopping distance far beyond nearest neighbors. For multiple impurities, the dissipation gives rise to strong nearest-neighbor correlations and entanglement. These results highlight the importance of non-trivial dissipation, correlations and many-body effects in recent experiments on the dipole-mediated transport of Rydberg excitations.

description: Advanced microbiology technologies are rapidly changing our ability to diagnose infections, improve patient care, and enhance clinical workflow. These tools are increasing the breadth, depth, and speed of diagnostic data generated per patient, and testing is being moved closer to the patient through rapid diagnostic technologies, including point-of-care (POC) technologies. While select stakeholders have an appreciation of the value/importance of improvements in the microbial diagnostic field, there remains a disconnect between clinicians and some payers and hospital administrators in terms of understanding the potential clinical utility of these novel technologies. Therefore, a key challenge for the clinical microbiology community is to clearly articulate the value proposition of these technologies to encourage payers to cover and hospitals to adopt advanced microbiology tests. Specific guidance on how to define and demonstrate clinical utility would be valuable. Addressing this challenge will require alignment on this topic, not just by microbiologists but also by primary care and emergency room (ER) physicians, infectious disease specialists, pharmacists, hospital administrators, and government entities with an interest in public health. In this article, we discuss how to best conduct clinical studies to demonstrate and communicate clinical utility to payers and to set reasonable expectations for what diagnostic manufacturers should be required to demonstrate to support reimbursement from commercial payers and utilization by hospital systems.

description: A distance-based inconsistency indicator, defined by the third author for the consistency-driven pairwise comparisons method, is extended to the incomplete case. The corresponding optimization problem is transformed into an equivalent linear programming problem. The results can be applied in the process of filling in the matrix as the decision maker gets automatic feedback. As soon as a serious error occurs among the matrix elements, even due to a misprint, a significant increase in the inconsistency index is reported. The high inconsistency may be alarmed not only at the end of the process of filling in the matrix but also during the completion process. Numerical examples are also provided.

description: Sonerila versicolor Wight (1846 part 4: 3, t. 1057)
 Lectotype (designated here or perhaps holotype):— INDIA. Kerala: Palakkad district, Nilgiri hills, Sisparah, s.d., Wight s.n. (barcode K000867672 [image!]) Fig. 3.
 Nomenclatural notes:— Wight (1846) described S. versicolor based on the collection from Western slopes of the Nilgiris, below Sisparah among grass and low jungle. While searching for relevant specimens, we traced two sheets at K (barcodes K000867672!, K000867673!) and one at CAL (Accession no. 173066!) bearing the ‘Herb. Wight’ labels. The sheet K000867673 has an annotation “Neilgherry hill, February 1850 ” and the drawings of dissected floral parts by Gamble. It also bears an annotation by the late Roger Lundin (Swedish Museum of Natural History) as “ S. versicolor Wight, Lectotypus ”, but not properly published. In fact Wight described S. versicolor in 1846 and this sheet postdate the publication of S. versicolor and hence cannot be chosen as the lectotype. The Wight Icone No. 1057 is written on sheet K000867672 while the sheet at CAL is without any details of collection and is an admixture of S. gamblei (1985: 235) and S. versicolor. Hence it can be presumed that Wight’s circumscription was based on the lone specimen at K, which is designated here as the lectotype, but perhaps could be considered the holotype.

title: Neural changes during short-term novel spoken and sign language learning: fMRI and DTI studies
Creators: name: Alotaibi, Sahal

description: It is conventionally thought that language processing is supported by two different brain areas: Broca's area for language production, and Wernicke's area for comprehension. Recent neuroimaging data, however, has shown that the brain networks underlying language processing are more complex than initially thought and closely integrated for spoken language and sign language. In this thesis, we conducted two longitudinal studies at three different approaches, behavioural, functional and structural imaging, which investigate the neural processing underlying spoken and sign language learning. In the first study, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain scans were taken from 20 English-speaking healthy volunteers before and after attending a novel spoken language-training course, learning phonetically minimal distinctions in Arabic that are allophones in the participant’s first language, of one hour for three consecutive days. The same paradigm was applied in the second study for 26 Englishspeaking healthy volunteers who were taught British sign language. Again, minimal contrasts between sign language gestures were learnt. Behavioural results for both studies show performance improvement in all variables including a phonetic discrimination task, and a pronunciation task for spoken language, and a gesture discrimination task and a signing task for the sign language group. Functional MRI results illustrate significant brain activity increasing in multiple language regions including left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), bilateral middle temporal gyrus, left angular gyrus and the right cerebellum. Moreover, functional connectivity increased significantly after training between these areas. These areas also show significant DTI changes represented by increasing fractional anisotropy (FA) and decreasing in mean diffusivity (MD) and radial diffusivity (RD). The fMRI and DTI changes are correlated with the participant’s behavioural improvement. These findings reveal a high degree of similarity in the neural activity underlying signed and spoken languages. Furthermore, the rapid neural changes noted as an impact of short-term learning oppose the conventional belief that brain changes associated with language learning require long training periods.

description: Respiratory viral infections are associated with a wide range of acute syndromes and infectious disease processes in children and adults worldwide. Many viruses are implicated in these infections, and these viruses are spread largely via respiratory means between humans but also occasionally from animals to humans. This article is an American Society for Microbiology (ASM)-sponsored Practical Guidance for Clinical Microbiology (PGCM) document identifying best practices for diagnosis and characterization of viruses that cause acute respiratory infections and replaces the most recent prior version of the ASM-sponsored Cumitech 21 document, Laboratory Diagnosis of Viral Respiratory Disease, published in 1986. The scope of the original document was quite broad, with an emphasis on clinical diagnosis of a wide variety of infectious agents and laboratory focus on antigen detection and viral culture. The new PGCM document is designed to be used by laboratorians in a wide variety of diagnostic and public health microbiology/virology laboratory settings worldwide. The article provides guidance to a rapidly changing field of diagnostics and outlines the epidemiology and clinical impact of acute respiratory viral infections, including preferred methods of specimen collection and current methods for diagnosis and characterization of viral pathogens causing acute respiratory tract infections. Compared to the case in 1986, molecular techniques are now the preferred diagnostic approaches for the detection of acute respiratory viruses, and they allow for automation, high-throughput workflows, and near-patient testing. These changes require quality assurance programs to prevent laboratory contamination as well as strong preanalytical screening approaches to utilize laboratory resources appropriately. Appropriate guidance from laboratorians to stakeholders will allow for appropriate specimen collection, as well as correct test ordering that will quickly identify highly transmissible emerging pathogens.

description: Conformational entropy for atomic-level, three dimensional biomolecules is known experimentally to play an important role in protein-ligand discrimination, yet reliable computation of entropy remains a difficult problem. Here we describe the first two accurate and efficient algorithms to compute the conformational entropy for RNA secondary structures, with respect to the Turner energy model, where free energy parameters are determined from UV aborption experiments. An algorithm to compute the derivational entropy for RNA secondary structures had previously been introduced, using stochastic context free grammars (SCFGs). However, the numerical value of derivational entropy depends heavily on the chosen context free grammar and on the training set used to estimate rule probabilities. Using data from the Rfam database, we determine that both of our thermodynamic methods, which agree in numerical value, are substantially faster than the SCFG method. Thermodynamic structural entropy is much smaller than derivational entropy, and the correlation between length-normalized thermodynamic entropy and derivational entropy is moderately weak to poor. In applications, we plot the structural entropy as a function of temperature for known thermoswitches, determine that the correlation between hammerhead ribozyme cleavage activity and total free energy is improved by including an additional free energy term arising from conformational entropy, and plot the structural entropy of windows of the HIV-1 genome. Our software RNAentropy can compute structural entropy for any user-specified temperature, and supports both the Turner'99 and Turner'04 energy parameters. It follows that RNAentropy is state-of-the-art software to compute RNA secondary structure conformational entropy. The software is available at http://bioinformatics.bc.edu/clotelab/RNAentropy.

 Lectotype (first step designated by Giri and Nayar [1984: 177]; second step designated here):— INDIA. s.loc., s.d., Wallich 4096 (barcode K000867657 [image!]; isolectotype: barcode K001038122 [image!]) Fig 4.
 Nomenclatural notes:—Wight and Arnott (1834: 321) described Sonerila rheedii citing Wallich No. 4096 and Rheede’s (1689: t. 65) illustration in the protologue. Since Wallich No. 4096 and Rheede t. 65 are taxonomically different, Bennett (1844: 215) described S. wallichii based on Wallich 4096. Giri and Nayar (1984: 177) also considered S. rheedei (as S. rheedii) and S. wallichii as quite distinct and cited Rheede’s illustration as the type of S. rheedei. Deepthikumari and Pandurangan (2014: 72) corrected the orthography of the name as S. rheedei Wall. ex Wight & Arn.
 Giri and Nayar (1986: 177) cited “Wall. List. No. 4096 (K)” as the type of S. wallichii, which constitute only first-step lectotypification. There are two relevant type sheets at K [K000867657!, K001038122!] which bears “Wall. List. No. 4096”. The sheet K000867657 has an entire plant with an inflorescence and two separate inflorescences is designated here as the second step lectotype.

description: Molecular diagnostics for influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have become commonplace, and various tests and systems have been cleared by the FDA for use in the United States. We performed a retrospective study to compare the Cepheid Xpress Flu/RSV assay with the Xpert Flu/RSV XC assay, using laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) as the reference method. The Xpress assay was 100% accurate compared to LDTs, whereas the Xpert Flu/RSV XC assay was 96.0% accurate. The Xpress test was determined to be faster and more sensitive than the XC assay.

description: Clostridium difficile colonizes the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, resulting in either asymptomatic carriage or a spectrum of diarrheal illness. If clinical suspicion for C. difficile is low, stool samples are often submitted for analysis by multiplex molecular assays capable of detecting multiple GI pathogens, and some institutions do not report this organism due to concerns for high false-positive rates. Since clinical disease correlates with organism burden and molecular assays yield quantitative data, we hypothesized that numerical cutoffs could be utilized to improve the specificity of the Luminex xTAG GI pathogen panel (GPP) for C. difficile infection. Analysis of cotested liquid stool samples (n 1,105) identified a GPP median fluorescence intensity (MFI) value cutoff of 1,200 to be predictive of two-step algorithm (2-SA; 96.4% concordance) and toxin enzyme immunoassay (EIA) positivity. Application of this cutoff to a second cotested data set (n 1,428) yielded 96.5% concordance. To determine test performance characteristics, concordant results were deemed positive or negative, and discordant results were adjudicated via chart review. Test performance characteristics for the MFI cutoff of 150 (standard), MFI cutoff of 1,200, and 2-SA were as follows (respectively): concordance, 95, 96, and 97%; sensitivity, 93, 78, and 90%; specificity, 95, 98, and 98%; positive predictive value, 67, 82, and 81%;, and negative predictive value, 99, 98, and 99%. To capture the high sensitivity for organism detection (MFI of 150) and high specificity for active infection (MFI of 1,200), we developed and applied a reporting algorithm to interpret GPP data from patients (n 563) with clinician orders only for syndromic panel testing, thus enabling accurate reporting of C. difficile for 95% of samples (514 negative and 5 true positives) irrespective of initial clinical suspicion and without the need for additional testing.

description: The SSHOC project is bringing together the key research data infrastructure players in SSH communities. SSHOC task “Making Data Findable by Being Citable“ (3.4) part of CLARIN-led Work Package “Lifting Technologies and Services into the SSH Cloud” is working on the use of citation in the SSH. A workshop “Data Citation in Practice” was organized June 2021 which presented solutions for efficient data citation via different perspectives from the SSH. Following this event, a study was carried out on 85 data repositories from the SSH domain investigating their approach to and facilities for data-citation (See SSHOC Deliverable D 3.5). This work was done by making extensive use of the “FAIR SSH Citation prototype”, developed in the SSHOC citation task, to harvest metadata in a normalized way from heterogeneous technologies provided by these different repositories. The presentation will provide insights on how these results can be adapted to be used by CLARIN as recommendations to improve Data Citation practice and thus foster the visibility of CLARIN resources. Another interesting complementary topic is the potential use of the citation-prototype, already integrated into the CLARIN Language Resource Switchboard, and its development for CLARIN in other complementary ways, eg. with the emerging DOG (Digital Object Gateway) SCCTC CLARIN project.

description: We present the first ab initio calculation of a radiative transition of a hadronic resonance within quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We compute the amplitude for $ππ\to πγ^\star$, as a function of the energy of the $ππ$ pair and the virtuality of the photon, in the kinematic regime where $ππ$ couples strongly to the unstable $ρ$ resonance. This exploratory calculation is performed using a lattice discretization of QCD with quark masses corresponding to $m_π\approx 400$~MeV. We obtain a description of the energy dependence of the transition amplitude, constrained at 48 kinematic points, that we can analytically continue to the $ρ$ pole and identify from its residue the $ρ\to πγ^\star$ form factor.

description: Mycobacteria are the causative organisms for diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), leprosy, Buruli ulcer, and pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease, to name the most important ones. In 2015, globally, almost 10 million people developed TB, and almost half a million patients suffered from its multidrug-resistant form. In 2016, a total of 9,287 new TB cases were reported in the United States. In 2015, there were 174,608 new case of leprosy worldwide. India, Brazil, and Indonesia reported the most leprosy cases. In 2015, the World Health Organization reported 2,037 new cases of Buruli ulcer, with most cases being reported in Africa. Pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease is an emerging public health challenge. The U.S. National Institutes of Health reported an increase from 20 to 47 cases/100,000 persons (or 8.2% per year) of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial disease among adults aged 65 years or older throughout the United States, with 181,037 national annual cases estimated in 2014. This review describes contemporary methods for the laboratory diagnosis of mycobacterial diseases. Furthermore, the review considers the ever-changing health care delivery system and stresses the laboratory’s need to adjust and embrace molecular technologies to provide shorter turnaround times and a higher quality of care for the patients who we serve.

description: Η πόλη της Ρόδου, με 2.500 χρόνια ζωής και ακατάπαυστης οικοδομικής δραστηριότητας, αποτελεί ένα ζωντανό αστικό παλίμψηστο, περισσότερο γνωστή για το περίφημο κομμάτι της παλιάς πόλης. Ωστόσο το εκτός των τειχών κομμάτι της, επηρεασμένο από την ύστερη μεσαιωνική χωροταξία, τους οθωμανικούς αστικούς θύλακες , την ιταλική πολεοδομία και τέλος τη νεοελληνική, στραμμένη ολοκληρωτικά στον τουρισμό, ανάπτυξη, εμφανίζεται προβληματικό, καθώς διατηρεί οργανωτικές διατάξεις, κληρονομημένες από άλλες περιόδους σε μια σύγχρονη εποχή με διαφορετικές ανάγκες.
Με αυτά τα δεδομένα, κρίνεται αναγκαίος ένας επαναπροσδιορισμός του χώρου των οχυρωματικών έργων, καθώς και του νεότερου περιβάλλοντός τους, σε μια κατεύθυνση σύγχρονη, όπου οι ξεπερασμένες αμυντικές δομές και ο εφαπτόμενος σε αυτές πολεοδομημένος χώρος μετατρέπονται από όρια, χωρικά και λειτουργικά, σε αστικές ενώσεις και μεταβάσεις από το παλιό στο νέο.

description: The West African Ebola virus epidemic of 2013–2016
was the most widespread epidemic of this disease in history;
it is estimated that this occurrence contributed to
more than 11000 deaths. During the epidemic, healthcare
workers (HCW)8 (including laboratorians) were
mobilized to care for individuals with suspected or confirmed
Ebola virus disease (EVD). However, at the
height of the epidemic, guidance on appropriate safety
measures for laboratory workers manipulating specimens
from EVD patients was sparse. This highlighted the need
for data and guidelines for laboratories testing specimens
not only for patients with EVD, but for any emerging
infectious disease. During the Ebola epidemic, questions
were raised about the roles and responsibilities of laboratories
in responding to highly infectious diseases, and the burden
of ongoing readiness for rare events. As the outbreak
decelerates, laboratorians must regroup, gather data, and
prepare for future outbreaks. We have asked 4 experts in this
field to share their thoughts on contemporary challenges in
laboratory preparedness for emerging infectious diseases

Vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration is not a substitute for clinical judgment: Response to healthcare-associated ventriculitis and meningitis

description: To the Editor—We read with interest
the new clinical practice guideline for
healthcare-associated ventriculitis and
meningitis published in Clinical Infectious
Diseases [1]. The guideline recommends
consideration of alternative therapies for
the treatment of methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) meningitis
and ventriculitis for isolates with a
vancomycin minimum in-hibitory
concentration (MIC) ≥1μg/mL. We believe
this recommendation places inappropriate
emphasis on a single determinant of
antimicrobial therapy that has uncertain
clinical relevance and variable accuracy depending on the antimicrobial
susceptibility testing (AST) method
used. This may lead clinicians to use less
well-evidenced strategies in cases likely
to respond to vancomycin.

description: This study summarises the main agricultural policies in Russia during 2014 and uses a sharp regression discontinuity design over time and data from the International Trade Centre to estimate the short-term effects of exchange rate liberalisation in November 2014 on import prices in Russian food markets. The sharp regression discontinuity design over time allowed an expost analysis of the short-term causal effects of the intervention on food import prices and distinguishing the effect of exchange rate liberalisation between product groups and from other interventions without using data from control regions, products and suppliers. Significant upward shifts in import prices were found for pig products, fish and cheese.

description: By exploiting the unique reactivity of ethynyl‐phosphonites we obtain novel P(V)‐containing five‐membered heterocycles via (3+2)‐cyclization reactions with aldehydes or cycloaliphatic thioketones in satisfactory to excellent yields. Whereas reactions with thioketones to yield 1,3‐thiaphospholes‐3‐oxides occur smoothly at room temperature with equimolar amounts of the starting materials in absence of any catalyst, the analogous conversions with aldehydes to generate 3‐oxides of 1,3‐oxaphospholes require addition of triethylamine as a base. We postulate a step‐wise (3+2)‐cyclization mechanism for the formation of the 1,3‐thiaphosphole ring based on DFT quantum chemical calculations. With this study, we introduce new cyclization reactions originating from unsaturated phosphonites as central synthetic building blocks to yield previously inaccessible stable phosphorus‐containing heterocycles with unexplored potential for the molecular sciences.

description: Industrial hog operations (IHOs) have been identified as a source of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). However, few studies have investigated the presence of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus in the environment near IHOs, specifically surface waters proximal to spray fields where IHO liquid lagoon waste is sprayed. Surface water samples (n = 179) were collected over the course of approximately one year from nine locations in southeastern North Carolina and analyzed for the presence of presumptive MRSA using CHROMagar MRSA media. Culture-based, biochemical, and molecular tests, as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry were used to confirm that isolates that grew on CHROMagar MRSA media were S. aureus. Confirmed S. aureus isolates were then tested for susceptibility to 16 antibiotics and screened for molecular markers of MRSA (mecA, mecC) and livestock adaptation (absence of scn). A total of 12 confirmed MRSA were detected in 9 distinct water samples. Nine of 12 MRSA isolates were also multidrug-resistant (MDRSA [i.e., resistant to ≥ 3 antibiotic classes]). All MRSA were scn-positive and most (11/12) belonged to a staphylococcal protein A (spa) type t008, which is commonly associated with humans. Additionally, 12 confirmed S. aureus that were methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) were recovered, 7 of which belonged to spa type t021 and were scn-negative (a marker of livestock-adaptation). This study demonstrated the presence of MSSA, MRSA, and MDRSA in surface waters adjacent to IHO lagoon waste spray fields in southeastern North Carolina. To our knowledge, this is the first report of waterborne S. aureus from surface waters proximal to IHOs.

description: We study four dimensional quiver gauge models from F-theory compactified on fourfolds with hyper-Kähler structure. Using intersecting complex toric surfaces, we derive a class of N=1 quivers with charged fundamental matter placed on external nodes. The emphasis is on how local Calabi-Yau equations solve the corresponding physical constraints including the anomaly cancelation condition. Concretely, a linear chain of SU(N) groups with flavor symmetries has been constructed using polyvalent toric geometry.

description: 4. Crepidomanes bonapartei (C.Chr.) J.P.Roux (Roux 2009: 39), Fig. 8D, E
 Trichomanes bonapartei C.Chr. (Christensen 1920: 14, 15), as ‘ bonapartii ’. ≡ Gonocormus bonapartei (C.Chr.) Copel. (Copeland 1938: 101). Type:— MADAGASCAR. ‘Région floristique du Centre. Massif de Manongarivo.’, without date, H. Perrier de la Bâthie 7745 (holotype P, P00466425!).
Short description—Epiphytic or lithophytic; long-creeping filiform rhizomes, rootless and densely covered by dense black trichomes, bearing widely separated pending fronds; fronds subsessile or with short stipes with wide wings broaden towards the apex, up to 4 cm long, lobed to mostly pinnatifid, rarely flabellate, never with laminar folds parallel to veins; sori few, paratactic, obconic to campanulate with a very slightly dilated mouth (Fig. 8E); receptacle mostly included, sometimes exerted.
Global distribution— Madagascar and Mascarenes.
Current distribution in Mascarenes— La Réunion, Mauritius (see note below).
Ecology—Epiphytic or lithophytic on shady wet rocks, mostly near streams, in lowland rainforests and wet ravines (150–650 m), and also one reported population in a wet ravine of the La Réunion western side in semi-dry forest remnants.
 Specimens examined— MAURITIUS. Tamarind Falls, March 1975, D. Lorence 1134 (MAU 0012282).
 — LA RÉUNION. Mare Longue, April 1999, J.- Y. Dubuisson HR1999-5 ’ (P); Mare Longue, April 2003, J.- Y. Dubuisson HR2003-7 (P).
 Note—As reported by Dubuisson et al. (2013), this dwarf species can be confused in the field and in collections with C. minutum (Blume) K.Iwats. and C. trinerve (Baker) Dubuisson & Ebihara (Dubuisson et al. 2013: 187), both taxa presented below. Contrary to these two species, C. bonapartei has subsessile fronds or short winged stipes, and never displays laminar folds parallel to veins. The species is known in Mauritius from a single herbarium specimen (see above), pending new observations on the island.

description: To the Editor:
We read with interest the article of
Lee et al1 describing the risk factors for
adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients
with ulcerative colitis (UC) with concurrent
cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis.
CMV reactivation and resolution can be
spontaneous in patients with UC regardless
of antiviral therapy; however, inconsistencies
between CMV detection
methods of various studies and criteria
for defining CMV positivity may be leading
to these disparate findings.2,3 In the
study by Lee et al, CMV colitis
was defined by the presence of 1 or more
inclusion bodies on hematoxylin and
eosin staining or CMV immunohistochemistry
on colonic biopsies. The most
accurate approach for detection of clinically
significant CMV infection has not
been firmly established and guidelines differ
in their recommendations.3,4 A recent
study using quantitative colonic PCR in
consecutive patients with UC undergoing
endoscopy in the setting of a moderate to
severe flare demonstrated a correlation
between higher viral load and resistance
to immunosuppressive therapy with significant
differences found when using
a cutoff viral load of .250 per milligram
tissue.5
