SH056157.07FU

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Specific Neuron Placement on Gold and Silicon Nitride-Patterned Substrates through a Two-Step Functionalization Method

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The control of neuron-substrate adhesion has been always a challenge for fabricating neuron-based cell chips and in particular for multielectrode array (MEA) devices, which warrants the investigation of the electrophysiological activity of neuronal networks. The recent introduction of high-density chips based on the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, integrating thousands of electrodes, improved the possibility to sense large networks and raised the challenge to develop newly adapted functionalization techniques to further increase neuron electrode localization to avoid the positioning of cells out of the recording area. Here, we present a simple and straightforward chemical functionalization method that leads to the precise and exclusive positioning of the neural cell bodies onto modified electrodes and inhibits, at the same time, cellular adhesion in the surrounding insulator areas. Different from other approaches, this technique does not require any adhesion molecule as well as complex patterning technique such as μ-contact printing. The functionalization was first optimized on gold (Au) and silicon nitride (Si3N4)-patterned surfaces. The procedure consisted of the introduction of a passivating layer of hydrophobic silane molecules (propyltriethoxysilane [PTES]) followed by a treatment of the Au surface using 11-amino-1-undecanethiol hydrochloride (AT). On model substrates, well-ordered neural networks and an optimal coupling between a single neuron and single micrometric functionalized Au surface were achieved. In addition, we presented the preliminary results of this functionalization method directly applied on a CMOS-MEA: the electrical spontaneous spiking and bursting activities of the network recorded for up to 4 weeks demonstrate an excellent and stable neural adhesion and functional behavior comparable with what expected using a standard adhesion factor, such as polylysine or laminin, thus demonstrating that this procedure can be considered a good starting point to develop alternatives to the traditional chip coatings to provide selective and specific neuron-substrate adhesion.
On the visibility of dislocations perpendicular to the optical axis by stress-induced birefringence in elastically and optically isotropic materials

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract An analysis of stress birefringence contrast due to screw and edge dislocations is given which confirms previous experimental results obtained by the present and other authors. It differs from earlier approaches in so far as an optically active region of the dislocation is assumed. In an otherwise strew-free medium, certain dislocation types should be invisible. Long-range stresses enable all types to be observed and classified according to the symmetry of the intensity distribution.
Changes in risk perception and self-reported protective behaviour during the first week of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Efforts to change behaviour are critical in minimizing the spread of highly transmissible pandemics such as COVID-19. However, it is unclear whether individuals are aware of disease risk and alter their behaviour early in the pandemic. We investigated risk perception and self-reported engagement in protective behaviours in 1591 United States-based individuals cross-sectionally and longitudinally over the first week of the pandemic. Subjects demonstrated growing awareness of risk and reported engaging in protective behaviours with increasing frequency but underestimated their risk of infection relative to the average person in the country. Social distancing and hand washing were most strongly predicted by the perceived probability of personally being infected. However, a subgroup of individuals perceived low risk and did not engage in these behaviours. Our results highlight the importance of risk perception in early interventions during large-scale pandemics.
Predicting Users’ Attention Breakpoints During Mobile Text Entry

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

During mobile text entry, users must shift their gaze from the keyboard to the entry area to check for errors. Many of these shifts are wasteful, since users have not committed any errors in the input stream. This waste might be reduced if, for example, on-keyboard visual feedback about the presence or absence of errors could be provided to users during text entry. However, constant feedback might result in visual clutter disruptive to the input process. We aim to address the challenge of predicting opportune moments (breakpoints) in user's attention to the keyboard to deliver such feedback, utilizing open gaze data collected from 30 participants while typing a) using the index finger of user's dominant hand and b) using both thumbs. We find that our model achieves promising results in predicting attention breakpoints under both typing conditions and, particularly, during text entry with both thumbs.
Low dose glucocorticoids in early rheumatoid arthritis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The use of glucocorticoid therapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis [RA] remains controversial. There has been much data accumulated over the years describing both the risks and benefits of acute and chronic glucocorticoid therapy. Initially there was significant enthusiasm for this type of therapy given the extent of the anti-inflammatory effects. However, use was then modified as chronic therapy with higher doses was associated with frequent reports of important safety concerns. More recently low dose glucocorticoid therapy (e.g. < or = 5 mg prednisone per day) is being reconsidered in particular for patients with early disease. This paper will review the historical experience with higher dose therapy along with the evolving evidence of an improved benefit to risk ratio with the advent of concomitant therapies to minimize some of the more problematic adverse events associated with chronic use of even low dose glucocorticoid therapy. It is suggested that with appropriate monitoring and careful concomitant prophylactic therapy to prevent osteoporosis, adjunctive therapy using low dose glucocorticoids along with the appropriate disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug may be a reasonable treatment plan for select patients.
Cutaneous sarcoidosis: a dermatologic masquerader.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease that may involve almost any organ system; therefore, it results in various clinical manifestations. Cutaneous sarcoidosis occurs in up to one third of patients with systemic sarcoidosis. Recognition of cutaneous lesions is important because they provide a visible clue to the diagnosis and are an easily accessible source of tissue for histologic examination. Because lesions can exhibit many different morphologies, cutaneous sarcoidosis is known as one of the "great imitators" in dermatology. Specific manifestations include papules, plaques, lupus pernio, scar sarcoidosis, and rare morphologies such as alopecia, ulcers, hypopigmented patches, and ichthyosis. Treatment of cutaneous lesions can be frustrating. For patients with severe lesions or widespread involvement, the most effective treatment is systemic glucocorticoids.

Second Primary Tumors in Patients Presenting With Unilateral HPV‐Associated Tonsillar Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To describe and compare rates of metachronous and synchronous second primaries of the contralateral tonsil in patients with primary HPV(+) tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Materials and Methods This is a single tertiary care center retrospective case series, from 2006 to 2019, of HPV(+) tonsillar SCC patients who underwent primary surgical resection with unilateral wide‐field tonsillectomy or bilateral tonsillectomy for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. A metachronous second primary is one diagnosed >6 months after completion of surgical treatment. A synchronous second primary is one diagnosed during bilateral tonsillectomy for unilateral HPV(+) tonsillar SCC. Rates of second primary and patient characteristics were compared using chi‐square tests. Results About 303 patients underwent unilateral surgical resection +/− adjuvant therapy for HPV(+) tonsillar SCC. One (0.3%) developed a metachronous second primary in the contralateral tonsil 11.9 years following treatment. Fifty‐seven patients with HPV(+) tonsillar SCC underwent bilateral tonsillectomy, and 37/57 (65%) had no clinical signs for contralateral disease. Of these, only 1/37 (2.7%) was incidentally found to have a synchronous second primary. Twenty patients underwent bilateral tonsillectomy due to clinical concern for contralateral disease. Of these, 3/20 (15%) were found to have a synchronous HPV(+) SCC in the contralateral tonsil. Conclusions The prevalence of metachronous second primary after appropriate treatment of HPV(+) tonsillar SCC is very low (0.3%) and so is the chance of incidentally discovering a synchronous second primary during bilateral tonsillectomy (2.7%). We do not recommend bilateral tonsillectomy as a part of the routine algorithm in the surgical management of these patients. Level of Evidence 3 Laryngoscope , 132:332–338, 2022
Genomic expression profiling of peripheral blood leukocytes of pigs infected with highly virulent classical swine fever virus strain Shimen

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Classical swine fever (CSF), caused by a virus of the same name (CSFV), is a highly contagious swine pyrexic disease featuring extensive haemorrhagic lesions and leukopenia, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms of its pathogenesis. To gain insight into the interaction between the virus and host cells, microarray analyses were performed to detect alterations in genomic expression of pig peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) following CSFV infection. Three healthy pigs were inoculated with a lethal dose of highly virulent CSFV strain Shimen. PBLs were isolated at the onset of typical clinical signs and total RNA was subjected to microarray analyses with Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array GeneChips. Of all 20 201 pig genes arrayed in the chip, 1745 showed altered expression (up- or downregulation) after infection. These were classified into eight functional groups, relating to cell proliferation (3.6 %), immune response (2.1 %), apoptosis (1.4 %), kinase activity (1.4 %), signal transduction (1.4 %), transcription (0.7 %), receptor activity (0.7 %) and cytokines/chemokines (0.4 %). The remaining 88.3 % of genes had unknown functions. Alterations in genomic expression were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR of selected cellular genes and Western blotting of annexin 2, a cellular protein relating to virus infection. The observed expression changes of numerous genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses and in the apoptosis process indicate that CSFV has developed sophisticated mechanisms to cause leukopenia in infected pigs. These data provide a basis for exploring the molecular pathogenesis of CSFV infection through an understanding of the interaction between viral and cellular components.
F-FDG PET/CT Detects Late-onset Sialadenitis After Radioiodine Ablation Therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sialadenitis is a common complication arising from radioactive iodine therapy. F-18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positronemission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) has been proposed to be useful in detecting not only amalignant lesion but also inflammatory changes. An 18F-FDG uptake pattern can vary according to inflammatorychanges, and the present study reports on a case of late-onset sialadenitis 3 years after the treatment, showing adiffuse and intense 18F-FDGuptakeon 18F-FDGPET/CT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on such an18F-FDG pattern in late-onset sialadenitis after radioiodine therapy.
Simulation of the Regeneration of a Coked Aromatization Catalyst

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Taking into account the effects of finite chemical reaction rate, internal diffusion and reaction heat release, a theoretical model was developed to investigate the regeneration process of a single coked aromatization catalyst of 1 mm in diameter. The results showed that at 650°C, the chemical reaction rate is the limiting step and the regeneration process is characterized by the homogeneous model. At temperatures above 750°C, regeneration process is affected strongly by the internal diffusion of oxygen. The maximum temperature rise of the catalyst particle increases with increasing initial regeneration temperature. The maximum temperature rise also increases with the increase of the initial carbon load and the CO2/CO ratio in product gas; however, the regeneration time needed for a certain degree of burn-off also increases.
Hunger amidst plenty: farmworker food insecurity and coping strategies in California

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Farmworkers are often overlooked as producers and consumers of food; although farmworkers in California labour in some of the most productive agricultural regions in the world, they are largely food insecure. This paper investigates approaches to relieving farmworker food insecurity in one of the most productive agricultural regions in North America, California's Northern Central Coast. I explore the structural causes for farmworker food insecurity, looking at how farmworker food insecurity is linked to international trade and immigration policies, as well as the systematic exploitation of workers in California agriculture. Investigating the various ways that farmworkers cope with food insecurity, I compare two different approaches, food assistance programmes and farmworker gardens. I discuss the linkages between farmworkers' place in the food system as both producers and consumers, as they simultaneously are exploited for their labour and create their own coping mechanisms utilising their embodied agricultural knowledge.
Studies on Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli contamination on broiler carcasses in slaughterhouse

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The present study was carried out to investigate the incidence of Campylobacter spp. from the chicken carcasses in slaughterhouse. A total of 9 strains were primarily isolated from enrichment culture and selective culture of the sample with candle and microaerophilic chamber method. Nine of Gram-negative, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive strains were further isolated by the determination of biochemical characteristics and finally identified as Campylobacter jejuni with HIP 400F and HIP l134R primers. Therefore, this PCR method proved to be useful as a routine diagnostic test for the Campylobacter detection and confirmation of C. jejuni and C. coli in naturally contaminated poultry samples.
Hypereosinophilic Syndrome of Undetermined Significance – Difficulties in Clinical and Therapeutic Approach

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract We report a case of a 69-year-old woman who is followed since seven years for persistent blood hypereosinophilia up to 5100/mmc. She has been extensively investigated for other diseases known to induce hypereosinophilia, including allergies, parasitic infections and neoplasia. No end-organ dysfunction could be confirmed. We considered a possible primary hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and determined the genetic mutation FIP1L1-PDGFRA characteristic for HES, which was negative. Bone marrow showed reactive eosinophilia with no malignant cells and rare mast cells, less than 15 in aggregates, which is the major criterion for diagnosing mastocytosis. Knowing the association between HES and mastocytosis, we measured and found high serum tryptase levels and positive c-kit D816V genetic mutation, characteristic for systemic mastocytosis. The patient was closely monitored, with regular hematologic and clinical evaluation, mainly for cardiac and neurologic manifestations. A short trial of high dose corticotherapy induced remission of hypereosinophilia, but this could not be maintained with lower doses. The clinical outcome during follow-up period was rather good, except mild cognitive decline and atrial fibrillation.The reported case is illustrative for versatile presentation and difficulties in management of hypereosinophilia in clinical practice.
Memory T Cells in Respiratory Virus Infections: Protective Potential and Persistent Vulnerabilities

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Respiratory virus infections, such as those caused by influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and coronaviruses, pose a significant global health burden. While the immune system’s adaptive components, including memory T cells, are critical for recognizing and combating these pathogens, recurrent infections and variable disease outcomes persist. Memory T cells are a key element of long-term immunity, capable of responding swiftly upon re-exposure to pathogens. They play diverse roles, including cross-reactivity to conserved viral epitopes and modulation of inflammatory responses. However, the protective efficacy of these cells is influenced by several factors, including viral evolution, host age, and immune system dynamics. This review explores the dichotomy of memory T cells in respiratory virus infections: their potential to confer robust protection and the limitations that allow for breakthrough infections. Understanding the underlying mechanisms governing the formation, maintenance, and functional deployment of memory T cells in respiratory mucosa is critical for improving immunological interventions. We highlight recent advances in vaccine strategies aimed at bolstering T cell-mediated immunity and discuss the challenges posed by viral immune evasion. Addressing these gaps in knowledge is pivotal for designing effective therapeutics and vaccines to mitigate the global burden of respiratory viruses.
Evaluation of a commercial test based on ligase chain reaction for direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in respiratory specimens

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A ligase chain reaction DNA amplification method for direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Abbott LCx MTB) in respiratory specimens was evaluated. Results from LCx MTB Assay were compared with those from acid fast bacilli smear, culture, and final clinical diagnosis for each patient. A total of 297 respiratory specimens (sputum and bronchial lavage) from 193 patients were tested. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of LCx vs culture were 92.7%, 93%, 67.8% and 98.7%, respectively. When compared to the clinical final diagnosis, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for LCx were 88.9%, 96.8%, 86.5% and 97.4%, respectively. The sensitivity of LCx MTB assay was 75% for smear-negative, culture positive samples. The results indicate that LCx MTB assay is a rapid, simple and valuable technique as a complementary tool for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
[Prospects of therapeutic intervention in drug addiction in prisons].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The non-penalization envisaged by the new law concerning the use and possession of drugs, will not cause the population of drug addicts to disappear from the prisons; it is however to be expected a qualitative modification of them, with the drug addicts clinically in most serious and persistent conditions and more involved with the criminal subculture, gradually increasing in number. Such individuals will represent a group of potential customers much different from that found up to now, and their more meaningful features will concern their age (higher), polytoxicomania (almost always resulting in heroinism), the abandonment of all family ties, of the pristine social and cultural status, of work, to acquire a new role, where identity is extremely ambiguous and uncertain. As concerns the treatment hypotheses, the less involved users being no longer dealth with--upon whom the attention of operators had been chiefly centered, and on whom the prospects of a psychotherapeutic success had been founded--only two solutions are regarded as implementable in the future: either to give up all intramural treatments, with the exception of those having a medical character, and, extramurally, to provide for the supply (controlled and through dispensaries) of heroin or substitute drugs, so as to reduce as much as possible the danger drug addicts represent for society; or to establish therapeutic or intramural communities, forming the one instrument capable of suggesting or conditioning new identity patterns, as an initial stage of an analogous institutional treatment to be continued when the convict leaves the prison.
Emotional Contagion and Empathy

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Most clinical and counseling psychologists have identified three distinct skills required in true empathy: the ability to share the other person’s feelings, the cognitive ability to intuit what another person is feeling, and a “socially beneficial” intention to respond compassionately to that person’s distress. Scholars from various disciplines, including sociology, biology, neuroscience, social psychology, and life-span psychology, argue that primitive emotional contagion—a basic building block of human interaction that allows people to understand and to share the feelings of others—can shed light on human cognition, emotion, and behavior. This chapter discusses emotional contagion and describes three stages in the process of emotional contagion: mimicry, feedback, and contagion.
