Investigating Synergistic Effects of Different Antibiotics on Biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

: Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen involved in number of hospital acquired infections such as catheter-associated urinary tract infections, bacteremia, septicemia, skin infections and ventilator-associated pneumoniae. Biofilm formation is an important trait implicated in chronic infections, such as cystic fibrosis and chromic pulmonary obstruction. Method: A total of 266 isolates were collected from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP). Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed by double disk synergy testing. ESBL and Modified Hodge testing was performed for phenotypic confirmation of carbapenemases. Molecular screening of the genes was done by PCR. Micro-dilution broth method was used to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics. Biofilm formation was done by micro-titer plate assay. Results: Overall, 20% of the P. aeruginosa isolates were extensively drug resistant (XDR-PA) and 25% were multi-drug-resistant (MDR-PA). Likewise, 43% of the isolates were ESBL producers and carbapenemase production was detected in 40% of the isolates. Molecular analysis confirmed occurrence of different resistant factors in ESBL positive isolates; 67% carried bla-TEM, 62% bla-CTXM-15, 41% bla-SHV, 34% bla-CTXM-14 and 33% bla-OXA-1. In addition, 68% of carbapenem-resistant isolates were positive for bla-NDM-1, 25% for bla-OXA-48 and 22% for bla-KPC-2. Biofilm formation was tested for 234 isolates, out of which 28% were strong biofilm formers. Moderate and weak biofilm formers were 46% and 23% respectively. Overall, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and cefepime showed inhibitory effects on P. aeruginosa biofilms. Antibiotics in combination showed strong synergistic effects (ciprofloxacin &amp;amp;amp; cefepime); while gentamicin and cefepime resulted into complete eradication of P. aeruginosa biofilm. Conclusion: We confirm strong synergistic effects of gentamicin and cefepime that completely eradicated P. aeruginosa biofilm. We further confirm inhibitory effects of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and cefepime on P. aeruginosa biofilms.

Management of Hajj Pilgrims with Disabilities During Debarkation in 2024: Case Report

The challenges that arise for pilgrims with special needs such as limited mobility are the increased risk of fatigue, injury, and falls. The various challenges that arise are not only caused by the pilgrims themselves, but also involve the hajj team, facilities and infrastructure, infrastructure, disability support that is still lacking, and ineffective management time, even though there are already guidelines for facilities for pilgrims with disabilities by the Ministry of Hajj Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, especially at the airport, transportation in Saudi Arabia, hotels and the Grand Mosque. The purpose of this case report is to find out the management of pilgrims with special needs, especially at the airport during the 2024 hajj disembarkation period. Case report: A 79-year-old male Indonesian pilgrim complained of weakness and shortness of breath. The pilgrim is a person with a physical disability due to a stroke who was treated at a Saudi Arabian hospital. Upon arrival at the airport, pilgrims do not get the priority they should, namely the late initial examination of sick pilgrims, officers have difficulty when conducting initial examinations at the airport due to crowds, long queues and lack of communication between officers, plus the absence of medical record data on pilgrims' care while in Saudi Arabia, health workers in Indonesia do not have sufficient information regarding the pilgrims' treatment history so that it can have an impact on the continuity of pilgrims' care, and access to transportation for pilgrims in Saudi Arabia still faces challenges in terms of being disability-friendly, because many buses are not equipped with wheelchair facilities. Management of pilgrims with special needs still faces various serious challenges, especially at the airport during the disembarkation period. Although guidelines for facilities for pilgrims with disabilities have been regulated by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Hajj, their implementation in the field is often not optimal.

Enhancement of the shelf life of bhendi by pre and postharvest application with hexanal containing aqueous formulation

The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of a nanoemulsion carrying hexanal, an Enhanced freshness formulation (EFF), as a pre harvest spray and post-harvest dip technology to minimize the post-harvest losses and to extend the shelf life of bhendi. Bhendi fruits were exposed to the pre harvest spray of 1% and 2% EFF solution one day before harvest. The bhendi were harvested at the harvest maturity stage and was treated with EFF (1.0 and 2.0 per cent for 1 min) and stored under ambient (28 °C ± 2 °C, RH 60 ± 10%) condition and evaluated for physical and biochemical parameters. The EFF at 1.0% concentration has recorded a lower physiological loss in weight (30.84%) on the 6th day of storage, higher firmness (2.8 N/mm), higher chlorophyll (40.2%) with increased shelf life (8 days) under ambient storage condition. The treated fruit had low total soluble solids (8.30 °Brix) and ascorbic acid content of 34.20 mg/ 100g of fruits indicating improved fruit quality during storage, in addition to an extended shelf life (8 days). Overall, the results indicated that the ripening process of the pre harvest EFF sprayed bhendi fruits was delayed and had an extended shelf life. Pre harvest spray and post-harvest dips using hexanal formulation is a potential technology that could be adopted in pack houses for domestic and export markets.

The X-Shooter Lens Survey – II. Sample presentation and spatially-resolved kinematics

We present the X-shooter Lens Survey (XLENS) data. The main goal of XLENS is\nto disentangle the stellar and dark matter content of massive early-type\ngalaxies (ETGs), through combined strong gravitational lensing, dynamics and\nspectroscopic stellar population studies. The sample consists of 11 lens\ngalaxies covering the redshift range from $0.1$ to $0.45$ and having stellar\nvelocity dispersions between $250$ and $380\\,\\mathrm{km}\\,\\mathrm{s}^{-1}$. All\ngalaxies have multi-band, high-quality HST imaging. We have obtained long-slit\nspectra of the lens galaxies with X-shooter on the VLT. We are able to\ndisentangle the dark and luminous mass components by combining lensing and\nextended kinematics data-sets, and we are also able to precisely constrain\nstellar mass-to-light ratios and infer the value of the low-mass cut-off of the\nIMF, by adding spectroscopic stellar population information. Our goal is to\ncorrelate these IMF parameters with ETG masses and investigate the relation\nbetween baryonic and non-baryonic matter during the mass assembly and structure\nformation processes. In this paper we provide an overview of the survey,\nhighlighting its scientific motivations, main goals and techniques. We present\nthe current sample, briefly describing the data reduction and analysis process,\nand we present the first results on spatially resolved kinematics.\n

A WFMT downlink transmitter for low earth orbit satellite

Abstract:- This paper discusses the performance of the Satellite Downlink Transmitter that uses a Wavelet based Filtered Multi-Tone (WFMT) modulation. The novel WFMT modulation was proposed for improving characteristics of OFDM multicarrier systems but also can be successfully used in satellite communications. In this paper, we discuss the advantages of WFMT modulation in comparison with OFDM so as low sensitivity to narrowband RF interference and lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio. It is shown that modern GaAs Solid-State Power Amplifiers are well suited for transmission of multicarrier signals. An effect of non-linear distortion on power added efficiency (PAE) of the RF Power Amplifier is discussed. Effect of clipping of WFMT signal on the error performance is described. It is shown that error correction block codes can significantly improve PAR characteristics of the communication system. The Power Efficiency of WFMT Satellite Transmitter is significantly higher that in case of OFDM.

Acute Effects of Intermittent Physical Activity on Perceptions of Exercise-Related Fatigue in Children

Purpose : To investigate the acute effects of intermittent activity performed at varying intensities on the perceptions of exercise-related fatigue in children. Methods : A total of 30 children completed 4 experimental conditions in random order, which consisted of 8 hours of sitting interrupted with 20 two-minute low-, moderate-, or high-intensity activity breaks or 20 two-minute sedentary breaks. The perceptions of exercise-related fatigue were determined via the Subjective Exercise Experience Scale at the beginning (0 breaks), middle (after 10 breaks), and end (after 20 breaks) of each condition. Results : The average heart rate was significantly higher with increasing exercise intensity (sedentary: 89.6 ± 1.2 beats/min, low: 114.6 ± 1.8 beats/min, moderate: 147.2 ± 1.8 beats/min, and high: 172.3 ± 1.8 beats/min, P &lt; .0001). There was no significant main effect of condition (sedentary: −0.5 ± 0.6, low: −1.0 ± 0.7, moderate: −0.2 ± 0.5, and high: −0.6 ± 1.2; P = .86) and time (10–0 breaks: −0.7 ± 0.5 and 20–0 breaks: −0.5 ± 0.5; P = .45), nor time by condition interaction ( P = .99) on change in exercise-related fatigue. Conclusions : Incorporating intermittent activity into physical activity programs may help to reduce barriers to regular exercise by minimizing perceptions of exercise-related fatigue in children.

The Predicted Lightning Performance of 1000, 1300 and 1500 kV UHV Transmission Lines

The results are presented of calculations of the shielding and backflash performance of the proposed 1000, 1300 and 1500 kV transmission lines. The calculations were made using analytical methods developed for and validated on HV and EHV lines. Zero lightning outage rates are predicted for the UHV lines with average footing resistances up to 40 ohms. However, a significant number of sub-critical shielding failures are expected with the conventional 2-overhead earthwire system, but these are not likely to cause flashover of line insulation.

BEWARE THE HALLUCAL INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT SESAMOID IN FIRST RAY ARTHRODESIS

Introduction Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons not infrequently encounter the hallucal interphalangeal joint sesamoid (HIPJS) in irreducible traumatic dislocations. However, patients with the classic triad of plantar keratoma beneath a hyperextended interphalangeal (IP) joint associated with stiffness of the first metatarsophalangeal joint tend to present to podiatrists rather than orthopaedic surgeons. Methods We present our experience with the HIPJS following first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP1) arthrodesis in 18 feet of 16 women, aged 42 to 70 years old. Where CT scan was available, volume of the HIPJS was determined using Vitrea Software. Results Two groups of patients were identified. Group 1 consisted of 12 feet in 11 women, who developed a painful keratoma beneath a gradually hyperextending IP joint of the great toe, at varying intervals (range 6 to 75 months) following MTP1 arthrodesis. Group 2 comprised 6 feet in 5 women who had undergone MTP1 arthrodesis but reported no symptoms in relation to an undetected and/or recognized, but unexcised HIPJS (range 15 to 97 months). We found no difference in average size of the HIPJS between Groups 1 and 2 (190.42 mm 3 and 196.47 mm 3 , respectively). Clinically, all toes had been fused in good position and no difference existed in the post-operative angle subtended by the proximal phalanx of the arthrodesed big toe with the first metatarsal between the 2 groups. A good outcome followed removal of metalwork and excision of the HIPJS in the symptomatic patients. Conclusion Think of a HIPJS in the patient who presents with a painful plantar keratoma beneath a hyperextended interphalangeal joint following MTP1 arthrodesis. Do not rush into a Moberg osteotomy as this will only push the big toe higher against the toe-box. Consider prophylactic excision of a HIPJS prior to MTP1 arthrodesis.

The Emergence of the Communicative Language Teaching Paradigm in the Finnish National Core Curricula from 1970 to 2016

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigman ilmenemistä Suomen perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteissa vuodesta 1970 vuoteen 2016. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigma näkyy Suomen perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmien vieraiden kielten opetusta käsittelevissä osioissa eri vuosikymmenillä. Tutkielman analyyttinen viitekehys perustuu kahdeksaan Jacobsin ja Farrellin (2003) määrittelemään kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigman muutoksen osa-alueeseen. Tutkielman teoriatausta käsittelee kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigmaa, vieraan kielen opetusta suomalaisessa peruskoulussa sekä suomalaista perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmaa.&#13;\n&#13;\nTutkielman aineisto muodostuu perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmista vuosilta 1970, 1985, 1994, 2004 ja 2014. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu näiden opetussuunnitelmien A-kielen tai ensimmäisen vieraan kielen osioista. Tutkielma on toteutettu kvalitatiivisen aineistonanalyysin perusteita seuraten. Aineiston analyysin metodina on teoriaohjaava sisällönanalyysi, Directed Content Analysis. Laadullisen aineiston analyysin tulokset on lisäksi määrällistetty.&#13;\n&#13;\nAnalyysin tulokset osoittavat, että kommunikatiivinen kielenopetuksen paradigma ei esiintynyt juuri ollenkaan vuoden 1970 opetussuunnitelmassa. Vuoteen 1985 mennessä kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigman vaikutteet olivat kuitenkin saavuttaneet Suomen, sillä vuoden 1985 opetussuunnitelmassa esiintyi jo useita paradigman osa-alueita. Vuoden 1994 erittäin lyhyt opetussuunnitelma ei juurikaan sisältänyt kommunikatiiviseen kielenopetuksen paradigman elementtejä. Vuoden 2004 opetussuunnitelma seurasi kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigmaa selvästi vahvemmin kuin mikään edeltäjänsä. Kaikkein vahvimmin kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigma ilmenee viimeisimmässä, vuoden 2014 opetussuunnitelmassa, josta löytyy seitsemän kahdeksasta kommunikatiivisen kielenopetuksen paradigman muutoksen osa-alueesta. Tulokset osoittavat viiden vuosikymmenen aikana kielenopetuksessa tapahtuneen suuren paradigman muutoksen. Tutkielman tulokset myös vahvistavat paradigman muutosten hitauden.

Transfer printing and nanomanipulating luminescent photonic crystal membrane nanocavities

The release of photoluminescent InGaAsP photonic crystal nanocavity chiplets from the host chip for creating autonomous functional microparticles is demonstrated. A transfer printing method using a soft polymeric material as a stamp is used to transfer cavity arrays to other substrates. Alternatively, cavities are transferred individually by a nanomanipulation technique. The chiplets can be fully deterministically positioned on both the host chip and another substrate (glass) with the nanomanipulator. The chiplets have the striking property of spontaneously orienting themselves with their plane perpendicular to the receiving surface. At each stage of the process, the condition of the cavities as dependent on their immediate surroundings is monitored from their photoluminescence spectrum.

Regeneration and protein profile analysis of callus transformant with geminivirus β-satellite fragment

Abstract The β-satellite fragment is a single-strand DNA that has a size of 1.4 kb. This fragment plays role in pathogen-derived resistance [PDR]. The genetic transformation of the β-Satellite fragment carried out by the previous researcher is limited by the regeneration of transformant callus. Therefore, this research was aimed to find some factors affecting the regeneration of transformant and non-transformant calli. Furthermore, protein analysis was performed on both calli to identify any specific fragment differentiating both proteins. SDS-PAGE analysis showed 5 and 8 fragments from transformant and transformant respectively. One of the 5 fragments has a size of 13.32 kDa which was predicted as C1 protein. These results proved that the β-Satellite fragment has been successfully inserted and expressed in the transformant calli. Subsequent research is suggested to identify some differential fragments produced by both transformant and non-transformant.

Thinning Treatments Reduce Deep Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks in a Coastal Pacific Northwest Forest

Forests provide valuable ecosystem and societal services, including the sequestration of carbon (C) from the atmosphere. Management practices can impact both soil C and nitrogen (N) cycling. This study examines soil organic C (SOC) and N responses to thinning and fertilization treatments. Soil was sampled at an intensively managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) plantation in north-western Oregon, USA. Management regimes—thinning, fertilization plus thinning, and no (control) treatment—were randomly assigned to nine 0.2-ha plots established in 1989 in a juvenile stand. Prior to harvest, forest floor and soil bulk density and chemical analysis samples were collected by depth to 150 cm. During a single rotation of ~40 years, thinning treatments significantly reduced SOC and N stocks by 25% and 27%, respectively, compared to no treatment. Most of this loss occurred in deeper soil layers (below ~20 cm). Fertilization plus thinning treatments also reduced SOC and N stocks, but not significantly. Across all management regimes, deeper soil layers comprised the majority of SOC and N stocks. This study shows that: (1) accurately quantifying and comparing SOC and N stocks requires sampling deep soil; and (2) forest management can substantially impact both surface and deep SOC and N stocks on decadal timescales.
