Abstract

To study the usefulness of the enzyme adenosine deaminase for the early diagnosis of typhoid fever, its activity in serum was assayed in 277 children admitted to the Hospital Guillermo Grant Benavente at Concepcion, Chile, from March, 1988, to December, 1990. The children were distributed into seven groups: control, N = 82; bacteremia, N = 8; acute viral respiratory infection, N = 43; febrile children with miscellaneous etiologies, N = 49; pulmonary tuberculosis, N = 3; hepatitis A virus infection, N = 30; and typhoid fever, N = 62. The medium serum adenosine deaminase values were significantly higher in children with typhoid fever (P < 0.0001) in relation to the values in the control group (122.2 +/- 40.7 vs 28.1 +/- 8.4 units/liter at 37 degrees C). This test had a sensitivity of 91.9% and a specificity of 92.5% in identifying the patient with typhoid fever when using 80 units/liter as the cutoff values. The positive predictive value of the test was 83.8% and the negative predictive value was 96%. Determination of adenosine deaminase values in serum could be helpful in the early diagnosis of typhoid fever.

Abstract

Xenarthrans -anteaters, sloths, and armadillos- have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. Have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become.

Abstract

In Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems, atmospheric turbulence distorts the propagating beams, causing a random fading in the received power. This perturbation can be compensated using a multi-aperture receiver that samples the distorted wavefront on different points and adds the various signals coherently. In this work, we report on an adaptive optical receiver that compensates in real time for scintillation in FSO links. The optical front-end of the receiver is entirely integrated in a silicon photonic chip hosting a 2D Optical Antenna Array and a self-adaptive analog Programmable Optical Processor made of a mesh of tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometers. The photonic chip acts as an adaptive interface to couple turbulent FSO beams to single-mode guided optics, enabling energy and cost-effective operation, scalability to systems with a larger number of apertures, modulation-format and data-protocol transparency, and pluggability with commercial fiber optics transceivers. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed receiver with optical signals at a data rate of 10 Gbit/s transmitted in indoor FSO links where different turbulent conditions, even stronger than those expected in outdoor links of hundreds of meters, are reproduced., (© 2024.

Abstract

Background: Since the introduction of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), the benefits have been numerous. However, adverse events (AEs) are experienced by up to 40% of users per year, exposing them to potentially fatal risks. The available evidence on the variables that trigger AEs associated with CSII remains limited, indicating the importance of studies on the subject., Aim: To propose a taxonomy based on the prevalent AEs experienced by patients from a reference diabetes mellitus (DM) center in Brazil using different CSII devices., Methods: 118 patients participated in an online interview and answered the questions of the data collection instrument. Identifying categories and subcategories of analysis contributed to constructing the AEs taxonomy., Results: The five analysis categories identified were: CSII User Interface (n = 45), CSII Alert System (n = 13), CSII Software and Connection (n = 11), CSII Durability (n = 30), and Electrical and Mechanical System of CSII (n = 60) A total of 159 AEs were identified, including conflicting alert messages and error/warning notification failures, errors resulting from engine malfunctions, data loss, patient interface deficiencies, button problems, and battery failure., Conclusions: The study describes in a taxonomic format the AEs directly associated with the use of modern CSIIs that may contribute with additional information to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Medical Device Report (MDR) adverse event codes. In addition to guiding educational actions in the treatment of DM and providing information for health professionals and medical device developers, prospective studies examining the frequency of such problems, including the potential psychosocial impact of this technologically advanced therapy, are needed., Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Abstract

Xenarthrans-anteaters, sloths, and armadillos-have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set. Please cite this data paper when using its data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using these data., (© 2019 The Authors.

Abstract

Hemodialysis (HD)-induced hypotension may be precipitated by severe hypovolemia. To avoid the appearance of destabilizing hypovolemias, we have developed a biofeedback control system for intradialytic blood volume (BV)-changes modeling. The system, incorporated in a dialysis machine, is based on a multivariable closed-loop control with a dependent output variable, the BV changes, and two independent control variables, the ultrafiltration rate (Qf) and dialysate conductivity (DC). The relative BV changes occurring during HD are measured by an optical device. The Qf and DC are continuously adjusted by the control model during the treatment to minimize any discrepancies between the ideal targets for the BV, the patient's body weight reductions, and the experimentally obtained results. The system manages three kinds of errors: in BV changes, the total weight loss, and the sodium balance. The latter is controlled by a dedicated kinetic model that continuously calculates the equivalent DC and, by the end of the session, tends to make the sodium balance the same as the one obtained in conventional HD with constant DC. This system's capacity to improve intradialytic hemodynamic tolerance has been assessed in a crossover study of eight highly symptomatic patients. Conventional HD (CHD; period A) was compared with blood volume-controlled dialysis sessions (BV-CHD; period B) following a protocol with an A1-B-A2 sequence, with each period lasting 1 month. A lower decrease in BV (-10.6%) was obtained during BV-CHD (period B) compared with CHD (-12.3% in period A1 and -12.5% in period A2). The predialysis to postdialysis systolic arterial pressure changes were lower in period B (-12.4%) than in period A (-20% in A1 and -17.5% in A2; P < 0.05) despite similar total Qf and mean treatment times. A significant reduction in the number of severe hypotensive episodes (three in period B v 26 in period A1 and 16 in period A2; P < 0.05) and the overall incidence of complaints, especially of muscular cramps, was found in BV-CHD. These results were reflected in a reduced need for therapeutically administered isotonic saline in each session (60 mL in B v160 mL in A1 and 95 mL in A2; P < 0.05). In conclusion, the proposed biofeedback system for intradialytic BV control may be useful to avoid severe hypovolemic states, to stabilize BV by modeling its trend, and to avoid reaching individual critical BV thresholds in hypotension-prone patients.

Abstract

The contribution of serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity to the diagnosis of typhoid fever was assessed in 246 children and in 46 adults, by Giusti's original technique. Children included otherwise healthy patients admitted for elective surgical conditions or under follow up for epilepsy which were considered to be a control group (n: 81), presumptive viral diseases (n: 31), miscellaneous febrile diseases except for typhoid fever (n: 41), different kinds of bacteremia (n: 6), diarrhea due to Salmonella typhimurium (n: 14), viral hepatitis (n: 24), and culture proven typhoid fever (n: 49). Adult's group included 39 healthy controls and 7 patients with culture proven typhoid fever. Among children mean ADA activity was as follows: control group 28 +/- 7.8, viral disease 35.3 +/- 13.1, miscellaneous febrile disease 36.1 +/- 15.6, bacteremia group: 30.3 +/- 10.3, salmonellosis group 51.6 +/- 9, hepatitis group 68.3 +/- 34.5, typhoid fever group 124.4 +/- 40.8 U/I 37 degrees C. Among adults, values were 18.4 +/- 7.5 for controls and 112.8 +/- 19.2 U/I 37 degrees C in typhoid fever patients. In both adults and children ADA activity was significantly higher in the typhoid fever group (p < 0.0001). Untreated typhoid fever patients had their higher ADA activity between 10th and 15th day of illness. When ADA cut point was set at 80 U/I, sensitivity of the test was 91.8% and specificity was 91.4% as a preliminary clue to the recognition of typhoid fever.
