Enteric protein loss and intestinal permeability changes in children during acute shigellosis and after recovery: effect of zinc supplementation.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The effect of zinc supplementation on intestinal permeability changes and protein loss was studied in 32 children aged between 1 and 12 years during bouts of acute shigellosis and after recovery. An intestinal permeability test and then a 48 hour balance study were performed on all patients. They were then blindly assigned to receive vitamin B syrup either with or without zinc acetate (15 mg/kg per day) for a month. All patients received a five day course of nalidixic acid. The balance study was repeated during convalescence and follow up, but a permeability test was done only at follow up after one month. Intestinal permeability, expressed as a urinary lactulose:mannitol excretion ratio, improved significantly (p = 0.001) along with a significant increase (p = 0.005) in mannitol excretion in the zinc supplemented children, suggesting a resolution of small bowel mucosal damage. The latter was associated with a higher coefficient of nitrogen absorption (p = 0.03), suggesting a possible role of zinc in the treatment of shigellosis. Enteric protein loss, as assessed by faecal alpha 1 antitrypsin clearance, was not influenced by zinc supplementation.
Exploring The Potential of Lucky Bamboo Plant : A Coliform Perspective

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The Lucky bamboo plants may carry bacteria like coliforms if the water they are grown in is not cleaned properly or if it is not changed on time, for instance, weekly Lucky bamboo plants obtained from the transmission of the coliform bacteria will continue to have even though they are cultivated from the soil. Solution – Annoying yellow Bamboo leaves may be due to low vitamins, soggy soil or more water, dehydration, or stressful developing situations.
ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR THE SPINAL CORD INJURY PATIENTS WITH NEUROPATHIC PAIN: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL CASE SERIES

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Methods: We review the current research on the senescence of red blood cells, focusing on the correlation between the pathologic properties of senescent RBCs and BSS-specific manifestations. Results: The accumulation of senescent RBCs and their products induce pathological conditions that affect blood flow resistance and cause thrombosis, vasoconstriction and methemoglobinemia. These pathological alterations are identical to the characteristics of BSS, such as sublingual varicosis, angiotelectasis, slow and choppy pulse, local fixed pain, nyctalgia, menstrual cramps, dark-purple tongue or infra-orbital darkness. Conclusion: A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that accelerated RBC aging could be considered as a novel pathologic mechanism of BSS. Contact: Sooseong You, ethink33@kiom.re.kr
Data from T-Cell Dynamics in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia under Different Treatment Modalities

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

<div>AbstractPurpose:<p>Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), we recently documented T-cell oligoclonality in treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with evidence indicating T-cell selection by restricted antigens.</p>Experimental Design:<p>Here, we sought to comprehensively assess T-cell repertoire changes during treatment in relation to (i) treatment type [fludarabine-cyclophosphamide-rituximab (FCR) versus ibrutinib (IB) versus rituximab-idelalisib (R-ID)], and (ii) clinical response, by combining NGS immunoprofiling, flow cytometry, and functional bioassays.</p>Results:<p>T-cell clonality significantly increased at (i) 3 months in the FCR and R-ID treatment groups, and (ii) over deepening clinical response in the R-ID group, with a similar trend detected in the IB group. Notably, in constrast to FCR that induced T-cell repertoire reconstitution, B-cell receptor signaling inhibitors (BcRi) preserved pretreatment clones. Extensive comparisons both within CLL as well as against T-cell receptor sequence databases showed little similarity with other entities, but instead revealed major clonotypes shared exclusively by patients with CLL, alluding to selection by conserved CLL-associated antigens. We then evaluated the functional effect of treatments on T cells and found that (i) R-ID upregulated the expression of activation markers in effector memory T cells, and (ii) both BcRi improved antitumor T-cell immune synapse formation, in marked contrast to FCR.</p>Conclusions:<p>Taken together, our NGS immunoprofiling data suggest that BcRi retain T-cell clones that may have developed against CLL-associated antigens. Phenotypic and immune synapse bioassays support a concurrent restoration of functionality, mostly evident for R-ID, arguably contributing to clinical response.</p></div>
[Double-outlet right ventricle with mitral atresia. Study of 9 cases].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Double-outlet right ventricle with mitral atresia is an uncommon anomaly with a few cases reported in the literature. We present 9 cases of this malformation that have been diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography (7 cases), cardiac catheterization (9 cases) and anatomical study (2 cases). We classify them into two groups according to whether or not they have associated pulmonary stenosis. The dominant symptoms were cyanosis and hypoxemia in the first group and cardiac insufficiency signs in the other. The left ventricle was hypoplastic in eight and normal in the one with tricuspid overriding. Six of the cases had ventricular septal defect. The great arteries were in normal relationship in 4 cases, with D-malposition in 3 cases and side-by-side in 2 cases. Rashkind atrial septotomy was performed in 5 patients, but was effective only in two. Palliative surgical treatment was performed on six of them. The actual survival rate is 44%.
Subject-verb agreement and the rise of do-support in the period of anglicisation ofScots

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Scots subject-verb (S-V) agreement is historically distinct from that of (Standard) English, as Older Scots employed a version of the Northern Subject Rule (NSR). It has been suggested that the NSR is a similar last-resort operation to do -support ( de Haas 2011 ), giving rise to the question of whether do -support entered grammar competition with the NSR when it emerged in Scots. Using the new Parsed Corpus of Scottish Correspondence (1540–1750), this study explores the presence of these S-V agreement strategies in 16th–18th century Scots, and investigates the possibility that NSR constraints influence the trajectory of Scots do -support. The findings indicate that the NSR declines as do -support emerges in the PCSC data, but apparently without interference from subject type constraints.
EFFECT OF PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ON THE CONSOLIDATION OF POSTEROLATERAL ARTHRODESES IN THE LUMBOSACRAL SPINE: A PROSPECTIVE, DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED STUDY

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on the consolidation of instrumented lumbar posterolateral arthrodeses in patients who have been surgically treated for degenerative spine disease. Methods: Forty cases were recruited from 163 consecutive patients undergoing lumbar arthrodesis at the same center. The patients were randomized into two groups of 20 patients: Active Group, who were exposed to PEMF for 4 hours a day for 90 days after surgery, and Inactive Group, who received an identical device, with the same instructions for use but without the ability to generate PEMF. The patients underwent computed tomography scans at 45, 90, 180 and 360 days after surgery to check for the occurrence of arthrodesis at each operated spinal level. Results: In the course of the study, two patients were excluded from each group. There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to age, gender, smoking habit, or the number of vertebral levels included in the arthrodesis. The percentage of consolidation of the vertebral levels increased at 90, 180 and 360 days compared to 45 days (p<0.001) in both groups. The Active Group had a 276% greater chance of consolidation in the vertebral levels (OR = 3.76; 95% CI: 1.39-10.20), regardless of the time of evaluation. Patients in the Active Group presented 16% more consolidation than patients in the inactive group (p=0.018). Conclusions: Post-operative exposure to PEMF following instrumented arthrodesis of the lumbar spine for degenerative spine disease increased consolidation in the first year after surgery.
DNN based Malicious Attack Detection System in Edge Computing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Identification of anomalous and malicious traffic in the Internet of Things (IoT) network is critical. This is difficult for Internet of Things security to keep an eye on and prevent unwanted assaults. In the Internet of Things network, machine learning (ML) approach models are offered to block fraudulent communication flows. Several ML models are prone to misclassifying predominantly harmful traffic flows due to insufficient feature selection. The issue must be investigated in order to identify appropriate characteristics for accurate malicious traffic identification in the Internet of Things network. A Deep Neural Network model is suggested as a solution to the problem, which uses the confusion matrix to accurately filter the model using the cross-entropy technique. Different variables have been given to the model to forecast the bot’s trustworthiness in order to address the trustworthiness of IoT devices. In this system, Deep Neural Networks is employed as a deep learning technique. As a result, this model can detect malicious attacks with a high degree of accuracy and consistency.
Balance of excitation and inhibition determines 1/f power spectrum in neuronal networks

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The $1/f$-like decay observed in the power spectrum of electro-physiological signals, along with scale-free statistics of the so-called neuronal avalanches, constitute evidences of criticality in neuronal systems. Recent in vitro studies have shown that avalanche dynamics at criticality corresponds to some specific balance of excitation and inhibition, thus suggesting that this is a basic feature of the critical state of neuronal networks. In particular, a lack of inhibition significantly alters the temporal structure of the spontaneous avalanche activity and leads to an anomalous abundance of large avalanches. Here we study the relationship between network inhibition and the scaling exponent $β$ of the power spectral density (PSD) of avalanche activity in a neuronal network model inspired in Self-Organized Criticality (SOC). We find that this scaling exponent depends on the percentage of inhibitory synapses and tends to the value $β= 1$ for a percentage of about 30%. More specifically, $β$ is close to $2$, namely brownian noise, for purely excitatory networks and decreases towards values in the interval $[1,1.4]$ as the percentage of inhibitory synapses ranges between 20 and 30%, in agreement with experimental findings. These results indicate that the level of inhibition affects the frequency spectrum of resting brain activity and suggest the analysis of the PSD scaling behavior as a possible tool to study pathological conditions.
Two Poems of Catullus

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The poem begins with a passionate cry. ‘To my aid, little poems, every one, all of you from everywhere, every single one of you, all!’ When Catullus says adeste, hendecasyllabi , he is not of course summoning representatives of one metrical genre only. Since by far the greater part of those short poems which now make up the first section of his book (I–LX) has as its metre the hendecasyllable ( phalaeceus ), he can readily use this name for his short poems in general without excluding an occasional iambic or choliambic piece. Catullus has to summon his poems undique , for they are scattered over a wide area, which proves, if proof were needed, that, like other poets in antiquity, he was in the habit of sending first, before publication, individual poems to individual addressees.
Occurrence of heterocyclic aromatic amines in the Swiss diet: analytical method, exposure estimation and risk assessment

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A total of 86 meat samples, prepared in restaurants or homes, ready to eat (including poultry and fish) and 16 commercial samples such as bouillon (cubes) were analysed for heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA). The analytical method consisted of an acidic extraction, clean-up on a cation exchange cartridge followed by an analogous HPLC step to recover the following HAA: IQ, MeIQ, MeIQx, 4,8-DiMeIQx, PhIP and 7,8-DiMeIQx. The HAA containing HPLC-fractions were collected, the HAA identified and quantified using two RP-HPLC-systems of different retention properties (UV-detection). The limit of quantitation was in the range of 0.2–0.4ng/g and the relative repeatability 6–15%. The recovery of PhIP was lower than for the other HAA analysed (less than 80%) and a correction factor was applied. No significant differences of the HAA-concentration were found in samples from homes and restaurants. half of the total samples contained HAA at the following frequencies: PhIP and MeIQx 33% (each), 4,8-DiMeIQx 11% and MeIQ 4%; 7,8- DiMeIQx and IQ were not detected. The frequencies in commercial products were for MeIQx 31%, 7,8- DiMeIQx 19%, IQ 13% and PhIP 6%; MeIQ and 4,8-DiMeIQx were not found. Based on these data, the average exposure of Swiss adults to HAA was estimated to be 5ng/kg body mass per day, commercial products contributing less than 10%. The theoretical excess cancer risk due to this intake was estimated on the base of the carcinogenic potency of the HAA in long-term animal experiments by linear extrapolation. The resulting risk in the order of 10-4 at the maximum is discussed in terms of Swiss epidemiological data.

Three-Dimensional Printing in Cleft Care: A Systematic Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To determine the current applications of 3-dimensional (3D) printing in the care of patients with cleft lip and palate. We also reviewed 3D printing limitations, financial analysis, and future implications. Design: Retrospective systematic review. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines were used by 3 independent reviewers. Articles were identified from Cochrane library, Ovid Medline, and Embase. Search terms included 3D printing, 3 dimensional printing, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, cleft lip, and cleft palate. Exclusion criteria included articles not in English, animal studies, reviews without original data, oral presentations, abstracts, opinion pieces, and articles without relevance to 3D printing or cleft lip and palate. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome measure was the purpose of 3D printing in the care of patients with cleft lip and palate. Secondary outcome measures were cost analysis and clinical outcomes. Results: Eight-four articles were identified, and 39 met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eleven studies used 3D printing models for nasoalveolar molding. Patient-specific implants were developed via 3D printing in 6 articles. Surgical planning was conducted via 3D printing in 8 studies. Eight articles utilized 3D printing for anatomic models/educational purposes. 3-Dimensional printed models were used for surgical simulation/training in 6 articles. Bioprinting was utilized in 4 studies. Secondary outcome of cost was addressed in 8 articles. Conclusion: 3-Dimensional printing for the care of patients with cleft lip and palate has several applications. Potential advantages of utilizing this technology are demonstrated; however, literature is largely descriptive in nature with few clinical outcome measures. Future direction should be aimed at standardized reporting to include clinical outcomes, cost, material, printing method, and results.
DEVELOPMENT OF DNA MARKERS LINKED TO BACTERIAL LEAF SPOT RESISTANCE OF CHILLI

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Bacterial leaf spot disease (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria; Xcv) causes severe damage to chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) and has been a major yield constraint. An introduced chilli accession 3-25-27 derived from Florida XVR 3-25 has a dominant gene, Bs2, which confers resistance to Xcv races 1, 2 and 3. To identify RAPD markers linked to Bs2, bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis were performed. Isogenic DNA pools were made from 10 resistant and 10 susceptible plants in a BC 1 F 1 population derived from crosses between 3-25-27 and Early California Wonder. Two RAPD markers, OPD05 and OPF10, were identified from a total of 460 10-basepair primers. From the linkage analysis it was found that two markers were located on either side of the Bs2 gene. OPD05 was located 5.3 cM away from Bs2 gene and OPF10 was located 4.9 cM from the Bs2 on the opposite side to OPD05. For practical use, identified RAPD markers were converted to sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs). Primer sequences with various lengths were designed and examined for their ability to detect a resistance marker. SCF10, originating from the RAPD marker OPF10, was amplified using a 24-basepair primer set, and it showed polymorphism between resistant and susceptible individuals. The initial SCARs developed from OPD05, however, showed monomorphism between resistant and susceptible plants. After trials with various primer combinations, it was possible to develop a polymorphic SCD05 marker. These markers enable the identification of the Bs2 gene on segregating progenies for marker-assisted selection.
Overwintering of the Inland Silverside in Southern Illinois

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The objectives of this study were to determine if the inland silverside Menidia beryllina could survive over winter in southern Illinois, north of its native range, and if power-plant cooling reservoirs or aquaculture systems could be used to maintain brood stocks of the species during especially cold winters. Inland silversides survived several consecutive winters in unheated Illinois reservoirs, but not a relatively severe winter. They did survive the severe winter in a cooling reservoir. They were successfully maintained over winter in indoor intensive aquaculture systems, at temperatures above 15°C, when they were fed a prepared diet. Thus, cooling reservoirs and indoor aquaculture facilities are potential sources of inland silversides for stocking unheated reservoirs in the spring.
Detecting Dementia-Related Wandering Locomotion of Elders by Leveraging Active Infrared Sensors

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

For elders with dementia, wandering is among the most problematic, frequent and dangerous behavior. Managing wandering behavior has become increasingly imperative due to its high prevalence, negative outcomes and burden on caregivers. We study to propose an active infrared-based method to identify wandering locomotion by monitoring rhythmical repetition of an elder’s indoor motion events. Specifically, we utilize our customized active infrared sensors to collect human indoor motions that will be converted into motion events by using hardware redundancy technique. Each motion event is a directed motion obtained via introducing temporal and dimensions into the spatial motion data. Based on the most cited spatial-temporal patterns of wandering locomotion, a spatiotemporal model is then proposed to identify wandering locomotion from an ongoing sequence of motion events. Experimental evaluation on eight individuals’ real-world motion datasets has shown that our proposed method is able to effectively identify wandering locomotion from repetitive events collected from active infrared sensors with a value over 98% for both accuracy and precision based on properly chosen parameters. Wandering in elders with dementia that follow specific spatiotemporal patterns can be reliably identified by analyzing repetitive motion events collected from active infrared sensors based on the well-known spatiotemporal patterns of wandering locomotion.
A year in the life of the OpenECG network

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The OpenECG network formed in 2002, is a European initiative with global reach, which aims to lower the barriers for ECG interoperability and make digital ECGs available as part of the integrated electronic health record. Currently, SCP-ECG, the European standard for ECG record communication and storage, has been implemented by some manufacturers. However, these implementations are not consistent with each other, hindering ECG exchange, processing, and serial analysis. Furthermore, the presence of alternative ECG storage formats, proprietary or open, raises issues of harmonization and quality assurance. In the first year of its life, the OpenECG network numbers 105 committed members, while its portal and associated help desk have already provided valuable information and development support to several manufacturers and integrators. Recently, the OpenECG certification service has become available to members who may submit their ECG records for interoperability validation and SCP-ECG conformance testing. Still, only the first step for the OpenECG network has been taken. Future plans involve contributing to the definition of integration profiles for ECG-related examinations and addressing issues related to quality assurance of eHealth services in general.
