Biological findings in Von Willebrand's pedigrees: implications for inheritance

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Thirty-one subjects from three families affected by Von Willebrand's disease have been investigated with the following tests: Ivy's bleeding time; platelet adhesiveness according to Salzman; two-stage factor VIII assay. Twelve patients have a complete form of the disease, i.e. , a prolonged bleeding time with low platelet adhesiveness, and a reduced factor VIII level. Eight subjects have an isolated low platelet adhesiveness associated in three cases with a prolonged bleeding time. The low platelet adhesiveness in these subjects was corrected, as in Von Willebrand's disease, by infusion of haemophilia A plasma. The dominant autosomal mode of inheritance appears to be due to a pleiotropic gene, expressed in a variety of ways
Novel QTL for Low Seed Cadmium Accumulation in Soybean

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Soybean is a valuable crop, used in animal feed and for human consumption. Selecting soybean cultivars with low seed cadmium (Cd) concentration is important for the purpose of minimizing the transfer of Cd into the human body. To ensure international trade, farmers need to produce soybean that meets the European Union (EU) Cd limit of 0.2 mg kg−1. In this study, we evaluated two populations of recombinant inbred lines (RILs), X5154 and X4050, for seed Cd accumulation. Linkage maps were constructed with 325 and 280 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, respectively, and used to identify a novel minor quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 13 in the X4050 population between SSR markers Satt522 and Satt218. Based on a gene ontology search within the QTL region, seven genes were identified as candidates responsible for low seed Cd accumulation, including Glyma.13G308700 and Glyma.13G309100. In addition, we confirmed the known major gene, Cda1, in the X5154 population and developed KASP and CAPS/dCAPS allele-specific markers for efficient marker-assisted breeding for Cda1.
A new fuzzy logic controller based IPM synchronous motor drive

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a novel fuzzy logic controller (FLC) scheme for speed control of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drive. The proposed FLC is designed to have less computational burden, which makes it suitable for online implementation. The FLC parameters are optimized by genetic algorithm. The complete vector control scheme incorporating the FLC is successfully implemented in real-time using a digital signal processor board DS 1102 for a laboratory 1 hp interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor. The efficacy of the proposed FLC based IPMSM drive is verified by simulation as well as experimental results at different dynamic operating conditions such as sudden load change, parameter variations, step change of command speed, etc. The proposed fuzzy logic controller is found to be a robust controller for application in IPMSM drive.
ENTEROPATHOGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI OF CLASSIC SEROTYPES ASSOCIATED WITH INFANT DIARRHEA: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A series of O:H serotypes of E. coli were incriminated by epidemiologic studies in the period 1945-1960 as a cause of epidemic diarrhea in infant nurseries as well as a major cause of sporadic infant diarrhea in the community. The term enteropathogenic E. coli was coined to refer to these infant diarrhea-associated serotypes. In the early 1970s, with the advent of laboratory tests to assess heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxin production and enteroinvasiveness of E. coli, the classic serotype enteropathogenic E. coli strains were found to lack those particular properties. These observations led some to question their pathogenicity. However, since 1978, enteropathogenic E. coli have come to be appreciated anew as a separate class of diarrheagenic E. coli that cause diarrhea by distinct pathogenic mechanisms. The pathogenesis of these strains, which have been shown to cause diarrhea in volunteers, appears to involve both an enteroadhesiveness step and production of a toxin identical to Shigella toxin. A 55- to 65-Mdalton plasmid is involved in the attachment of enteropathogenic E. coli to intestinal mucosa which results in a pathognomonic histopathologic lesion visualized by electron microscopy. The lesion involves dissolution of enterocyte microvilli by the bacteria, effacement of the enterocyte outer membrane, and formation of a pedestal around the bacterium at point of contact with the outer membrane of the enterocyte. Case-control epidemiologic studies carried out since 1975 document that enteropathogenic E. coli remain an important cause of sporadic infant diarrhea in the community with up to 30 per cent of cases of acute diarrhea in young infants in Brazil and South Africa being attributed to these pathogens. Although nursery epidemics of enteropathogenic E. coli diarrhea have virtually disappeared from industrialized countries, some sporadic enteropathogenic E. coli diarrhea in infants in the community continues to occur. The relative importance of enteropathogenic E. coli as a cause of sporadic diarrhea in both industrialized and developing countries needs to be reassessed. New diagnostic techniques are awaited to simplify this task.

Comparison of the insecticide susceptibilities of laboratory strains of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A susceptible strain of Aedes albopictus derived from the Gainesville strain (Florida, USA) was established in our laboratory. The larvicidal efficacies of the neurotoxic insecticides temephos, permethrin and the pure cis and trans-permethrin isomers and the microbial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) against Ae. albopictus were estimated and compared to a susceptible strain of Aedes aegypti. The larvicidal effect of insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen was also evaluated in both mosquito strains. The median lethal concentration/median emergency inhibition values for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, respectively, were: temephos, 3.058 and 6.632 ppb, permethrin, 3.143 and 4.933 ppb, cis-permethrin, 4.457 and 10.068 ppb, trans-permethrin, 1.510 and 3.883 ppb, Bti, 0.655 and 0.880 ppb and pyriproxyfen, 0.00774 and 0.01642 ppb. Ae. albopictus was more tolerant than Ae. aegypti to all six larvicides evaluated. The order of susceptibility for Ae. aegypti was pyriproxyfen > Bti > trans-permethrin > temephos > permethrin > cis-permethrin and for Ae. albopictus was pyriproxyfen > Bti > trans-permethrin > permethrin > temephos > cis-permethrin. Because both species can be found together in common urban, suburban and rural breeding sites, the results of this work provide baseline data on the susceptibility of Ae. albopictus to insecticides commonly used for controlling Ae. aegypti in the field.
Express analysis of conducting a set of preparatory and special exercises on land for swimming students of the 1st year of the Faculty of Physical Culture and Sports of H.S. Skovoroda KhNPU

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The aim of the research is to study the characteristics of practical training and the level of formation of knowledge and skills among the students of the first course of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport. G.S.Skovoroda on the subject "Theory and Methodology of Teaching Swimming" by means of express analysis of preparatory and special exercises on land. Materials and methods. The pedagogical research involved 39 students of the 1st course in 2018 and 41 students in 2019. The study was carried out during camp fees. The complexes were explained to the students. The students were given a task to learn one of them (the one that was asked) and to spend it with the students of their group. The following indicators were recorded in the study: in order to monitor the level of knowledge and skills of students in a range of land-based exercises using the rapid analysis method, criteria were developed to assess the effectiveness of the acquisition of this skill: Organizational abilities (building, group vision during the complex, team voice); display techniques (mirror display); delivery techniques (short and in accordance with terminology); excitement, self-confidence (exercise not in order, exercise properly); aspiration to support (peek in outline, clue). Each criterion was evaluated by observation with a score of 2, and scores were added and calculated with an arithmetic average (a maximum of 10). Research results. The main criteria for the comparative characterization of the performance of land-based exercises by students were the use of expert judgement and the processing of data by mathematical statistical methods. Conclusions. Definitely that: 1. When learning the skills to conduct sets of preparatory and special exercises on land in 2018, the greatest difficulty was caused by 3.4 simulation exercises. 2. Regarding the criteria behind the evaluation of the complexes, the most difficult criteria for students were the ability to see the group and remember the activities of the complex. 3. Errors were most often encountered during the use of the display and storytelling techniques, as well as in the sequence of the exercise complex. The information on the objective state of the students' learning of the skills of conducting preparatory and special exercises made it possible to find out, That it is necessary to develop such complexes as if, due to their complexity, they are the same and take into account both simple and complex general, special and simulation exercises. Taking into account the identified difficulties in the assimilation of the preparatory and special exercise complexes in 2019, the complexes were redesigned and, after a second experiment, that due to the difficulty of assimilating the complex of preparatory and special exercises has almost evened out in average scores, the difference is no more than 1 point.
Genetic Analysis and Gene Mapping of a Twisted Hull Mutant in Rice

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A twisted hull rice mutant was found in the progeny of a breeding population.Genetic analysis indicated that the mutant phenotype was controlled by a single recessive gene(temporarily designated as Osth).To map OsTH(t)gene,an F2 population was established by crossing the Osth mutant with R725,an indica rice variety with normal hulls.Finally,OsTH(t)was located between the SSR markers RM14128 and RM208 on the long arm of chromosome 2 at the genetic distances of 1.4 cM and 2.7 cM,respectively.These results provides the foundation for further fine mapping,cloning and functional analysis of OsTH(t)gene.
Graphene reinforced radiation crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol/carboxymethyl cellulose nanocomposites for controlled drug release

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

This study reports development of graphene reinforced nanocomposites of carboxymethyl cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol for controlled drug release applications. The nanocomposites were synthesized through solution blending coupled with sonication assisted dispersion. The matrices were crosslinked to different extent by imparting different high energy radiation doses. The elastic modulus of the polymer nanocomposites increased by fourfold with the increase in graphene content from 1 to 3 wt% with no further significant change in elastic modulus at higher graphene content. The crystalline content did not change with addition of graphene and was ∼40% for all nanocomposites. Addition of 3 wt% graphene marginally increased the time for 60% drug release ( T 60 ). However, T 60 increased by ∼100% with an increase in radiation dose from 25 to 150 kGy, suggesting absorbed radiation dose to be a critical factor for graphene based nanocomposites for controlled drug release applications.

CCR6/CCL20 chemokine axis in human immunodeficiency virus immunity and pathogenesis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Recent studies in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have garnered interest for the role of CC chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) and its known ligands, CC chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) and human β-defensins, in viral entry, dissemination and antiviral immunity. Several studies have suggested that CCR6 may also act as a weak co-receptor of HIV entry, in addition to the canonical CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and CCR5. However, the pathogenic significance has yet to be demonstrated as the observations for preferential infection of CD4+CCR6+ over CD4+CCR6- T cells appear to be independent of CCR6 expression. This indicates means for preferential infection other than CCR6 co-receptor use. Attention has also turned to the inadvertent role of the CCR6/CCL20 axis in attracting key immune cells, including TH17 cells and dendritic cells, to sites of infection and propagating the virus to other sites of the body. This review article will summarize the latest evidence that the CCR6/CCL20 chemokine axis is playing an important role in HIV pathogenesis and immunity. Further work with in vivo studies is needed to establish the biological and, hence, therapeutic significance of these findings.

Evolution of radiographic joint damage in rituximab-treated versus TNF-treated rheumatoid arthritis cases with inadequate response to TNF antagonists FINCKH, Axel, et al. Observational studies have suggested that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who experience inadequate response to anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents respond more favourably to rituximab (RTX) than to an alternative anti-TNF agent. However, the relative effectiveness of these agents on long-term outcomes, particularly in radiographic damage, remains unclear. FINCKH, Axel, et al.

Effect of Exercise Regimens on Musculoskeletal Health in Working Horses in Bangladesh

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the effect of exercise regimens on musculoskeletal health in working horses in Bangladesh. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Recent studies on exercise regimens for working horses in Bangladesh show that regular, moderate-intensity exercise strengthens muscles and bones, reducing strains and sprains. Structured training enhances bone density and tendon strength, crucial for their physical demands. Exercise also prevents conditions like osteoarthritis by maintaining joint mobility. Muscle conditioning improves strength and flexibility, lowering the risk of injuries. Varied exercise routines promote balanced musculoskeletal development and endurance. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Biomechanical theory, physiological adaptation theory & workload management theory may be used to anchor future studies on effect of exercise regimens on musculoskeletal health in working horses in Bangladesh. Implement balanced exercise programs that mix high-intensity and low-intensity activities, and ensure shorter, frequent exercise sessions to promote muscle recovery and reduce overuse injuries. Establish regulations that limit the maximum workload and duration of work for horses, ensuring that they are not subjected to continuous high-intensity tasks without adequate rest.

PEAK/OFF-PEAK PRICING IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT. SOME EXPERIENCES FROM TWO SWEDISH COUNTIES

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In two Swedish counties public transport introduced peak/off-peak pricing in 1985. The ordinary monthly season tickets were supplemented by a special monthly ticket valid for off-peak travel. About 20% of travelers with monthly season tickets bought this special ticket. This reduced revenues by about 7%. If revenues from monthly tickets account for 2/3 of total revenues, the drop in total revenues was 4-5%. With a transfer of 5-10% from peak-hour to off-peak travelling, there was a (long-run) saving of 4-5%. As taxes cover more than 50% of the costs, i.e. costs are twice as high as revenues, savings were at least of the same magnitude as the drop in revenues. The total number of passengers increased by a few per cent. (TRRL)

Screening, Recruitment, and Baseline Characteristics for the Strategies to Reduce Injuries and Develop Confidence in Elders (STRIDE) Study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: We describe the recruitment of participants for Strategies to Reduce Injuries and Develop Confidence in Elders (STRIDE), a large pragmatic cluster randomized trial that is testing the effectiveness of a multifactorial intervention to prevent serious fall injuries. Eligible persons were 70 years or older, community-living, and at increased risk for serious fall injuries. The modified goal was to recruit 5,322 participants over 20 months from 86 primary care practices within 10 diverse health care systems across the United States. METHODS: The at-risk population was identified using two distinct but complementary screening strategies that included three questions administered centrally via the mail (nine sites) or in the clinic (one site), while recruitment was completed centrally by staff at Yale. RESULTS: For central screening, 226,603 letters mailed to 135,118 patients yielded 28,719 positive screens (12.7% of those mailed and 46.5% of the 61,729 returned). In the clinic, 22,537 screens were completed, leading to 5,732 positive screens (25.4%). Of the 34,451 patients who screened positive for high risk of serious fall injuries, 31,872 were sent a recruitment packet and, of these, 5,451 (17.1%) were enrolled over 20 months (mean age: 80 years; 62% female). The participation rate was 34.0% among eligible patients. The enrollment yields were 3.6% (vs 5% projected) for each patient screened centrally, despite multiple screens, and 10.5% (vs 33.9% projected) for each positive clinic screen. CONCLUSIONS: Despite lower-than-expected yields, the STRIDE Study exceeded its modified recruitment goal. If the STRIDE intervention is found to be effective, the two distinct strategies for identifying a high-risk population of older persons could be implemented by most health care systems.
Postharvest Handling Practices of Sweet Orange Marketers in Benue State, Nigeria

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Successful marketing of fresh fruits requires careful attention to the details involved in postharvest handling (PH), which protects fruit’s quality and nutritive and economic value. This study assessed the PH practices of sweet orange marketers in Benue State. Six (6) major orange markets were purposively selected. Thereafter, a total of 104 marketers were randomly sampled. The data were collected using an interview schedule and analysed using the frequencies, percentages, means, Chi-squares, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlations at α0.05. The knowledge of PH practices and the level of PH practice utilisation were high. Marketers’ age (r = −0.220, p < 0.05), the use of sacks for packaging (χ2 = 23.314, p < 0.01), knowledge of PH (r = 0.272, p < 0.01), and attitudinal disposition towards PH (r = 0.492, p < 0.01) significantly influence the utilisation of PH practices. This study recommends the generation of awareness and sensitisation among marketers by horticultural crop institutions on improved preservation and packaging methods for sweet oranges.
