Comparative sensitivity and specificity of Typhidot and Typhidot-M tests in the diagnosis of Enteric fever in Malaysian children

Suntu penelitian untuk mengetahui sensitivitas dan spesifisitas uji Typhidot dan Typhidot-M daLam mendiagnosis demam enterik pada anak-anak Malaysia telah dilakukan. Pasien dibagi dalam dua kelompok: (i) pasien dengan biakan darah dan-/ ataufeses positif S. typhi dan/atau dengan gambaran klinis yang jelas untuk demam enterik; (ii) pasien dengan kedua biakan negatif dan dengan gambaran klinis atau bukti lain adanya demam oleh sebab lain. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Typhidot maupun TyphidorM sama sensitifnya dengan uji Widal. Uji Typhidot-M memiliki spesifisins yang sedikit Lebih tinggi daripada uji Typhido4 keduanya memiliki spesifisitas sekitar l0% Iebih baik daripada uji Widal. Data juga menunjukkan bahwa uji Typhidot-M mungkin dapat meningkntkan ketepatan diagnosis demam oleh sebab lain pada anak-anak, yang dibuktikan dengan perbaikan spesifitas. Baik uji Typhidot maupun Typhidot-M adalah alat bantu diagnosis yang cepat dan dapat diandalkan dalam penatalaksanaan demam enterik. Uji Typhidot-M mungkin lebih disukai daripada uji Typhidot dalam mengidentifikasi pasien yang menderita demam oleh sebab lain sementara ia daLam masa penyembuhan demam enterik. A study was carcied out to compare the sensitivity and specificity of Typhidot and Typhidot-M tests in the diagnosis of enteric fever in Malaysian children. The patients were divided into two groups: (i) those who were bLood and /or stool culture positive for S. typhi and/or who had clinical features strongly suggestive of enteric fever; (ii) those who were both culture - negative and had clinical or other evidence of another febrile illness. The results showed both Typhidot and Typhidot-M tests.were as sensitive as WidaL test. The Typhidot-M test hnd slightly greater specificity than the Typhidot test; both had around l07a better specificity than the Widal test. The data aLso suggest that the Typhidot-M test may, as evidenced by improved specificity, increase diagnostic accuracy for other febrile iLlnesses in children. The Typhidot and Typhidot-M are both prompt and reliable diagnostic aids in the management of enteric fever The typhidot-M test may be more preferable to the orginal Typhidot test in identifiing patients who develop other febrile illnesses whilst recovering from enteric fever

Accurate hyperfine couplings for C59N

We identify the shortcomings of existing ab initio quantum chemistry calculations for the hyperfine couplings in the recently characterized azafullerene, C59N. Standard gaussian basis sets in the context of all--electron calculations are insufficient to resolve the spin density near the cores of the atoms. Using the Projector Augmented Wave method implemented on top of a standard pseudopotential plane--wave density--functional framework, we compute significantly more accurate values for the Fermi contact interaction.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

Ab initio and finite-temperature molecular dynamics studies of lattice resistance in tantalum

This manuscript explores the apparent discrepancy between experimental data and theoretical calculations of the lattice resistance of bcc tantalum. We present the first results for the temperature dependence of the Peierls stress in this system and the first ab initio calculation of the zero-temperature Peierls stress to employ periodic boundary conditions, which are those best suited to the study of metallic systems at the electron-structure level. Our ab initio value for the Peierls stress is over five times larger than current extrapolations of experimental lattice resistance to zero-temperature. Although we do find that the common techniques for such extrapolation indeed tend to underestimate the zero-temperature limit, the amount of the underestimation which we observe is only 10-20%, leaving open the possibility that mechanisms other than the simple Peierls stress are important in controlling the process of low temperature slip.Comment: 12 pages and 9 figure

Toda lattice representation for random matrix model with logarithmic confinement

We construct a replica field theory for a random matrix model with logarithmic confinement [K.A.Muttalib et.al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 471 (1993)]. The corresponding replica partition function is calculated exactly for any size of matrix $N$. We make a color-flavor transformation of the original model and find corresponding Toda lattice equations for the replica partition function in both formulations. The replica partition function in the flavor space is defined by generalized Itzikson-Zuber (IZ) integral over homogeneous factor space of pseudo-unitary supergroups $SU(n\mid M,M)/SU(n\mid M-N,M)$ (Stiefel manifold) with $M\to\infty$, which is evaluated and represented in a compact form.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, Revte

Correlates of healthy life expectancy in low- and lower-middle-income countries

Background: Healthy life expectancy (HALE) at birth is an important indicator of health status and quality of life of a country's population. However, little is known about the determinants of HALE as yet globally or even country-specific level. Thus, we examined the factors that are associated with HALE at birth in low- and lower-middleincome countries. Methods: In accordance with the World Bank (WB) classification seventy-nine low- and lower-middle-income countries were selected for the study. Data on HALE, demographic, socioeconomic, social structural, health, and environmental factors from several reliable sources, such as the World Health Organization, the United Nations Development Program, Population Reference Bureau, WB, Heritage Foundation, Transparency International, Freedom House, and International Center for Prison Studies were obtained as selected countries. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed to reach the research objectives. Results: The lowest and highest HALE were observed in Sierra Leone (44.40 years) and in Sri Lanka (67.00 years), respectively. The mean years of schooling, total fertility rate (TFR), physician density, gross national income per capita, health expenditure, economic freedom, carbon dioxide emission rate, freedom of the press, corruption perceptions index, prison population rate, and achieving a level of health-related millennium development goals (MDGs) were revealed as the correlates of HALE. Among all the correlates, the mean years of schooling, TFR, freedom of the press, and achieving a level of health-related MDGs were found to be the most influential factors. Conclusion: To increase the HALE in low- and lower-middle-income countries, we suggest that TFR is to be reduced as well as to increase the mean years of schooling, freedom of the press, and the achievement of a level of health-related MDGs

Preparation of a Combined Inactivated Vaccine against Riemerella anatipestifer and Duck Viral Hepatitis

Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer) infection and duck virus hepatitis (DVH) are enormous dangers for the duck industry and its investment. So, in the current study, a combined inactivated vaccine against both of them was prepared to combat their adverse effect. One hundred and thirty-three ducks of one-day-old of age were used and grouped randomly into four groups. Group (1) was vaccinated with R. anatipestifer vaccine, group (2) was vaccinated with DHV vaccine, group (3) was vaccinated with the prepared combined vaccine of both and finally, group (4) was kept as a negative control. Vaccination was at one day old of age. The vaccinated groups with Riemerella vaccine had 72.7% protection against challenges with the virulent strain with the highest antibody titers in 6th week as measured by the indirect Hemagglutination test. The control group had 90.9% mortality when challenged against R. anatipestifer, with no detectable antibody titers. DVH-vaccinated groups exhibited their highest serum-neutralizing antibody titers by the 5th and 6th weeks post-vaccination. The Control group had no detectable antibody titers against DVH. Statistically, it was clear that there were no significant differences between the results of different groups vaccinated with combined or single vaccines of the same agent. Briefly, combined vaccines of R. Anatipestifer and duck viral hepatitis have harmonized effects with the priority to decrease the stress on birds and workers. Besides its efficiency, the economic side as providing one-shot vaccines instead of each one separately

The magmatic and eruptive evolution of the 1883 caldera-forming eruption of Krakatau: Integrating field- to crystal-scale observations

Explosive, caldera-forming eruptions are exceptional and hazardous volcanic phenomena. The 1883 eruption of Krakatau is the largest such event for which there are detailed contemporary written accounts, allowing information on the eruptive progression to be integrated with the stratigraphy and geochemistry of its products. Freshly exposed sequences of the 1883 eruptive deposits of Krakatau, stripped of vegetation by a tsunami generated by the flank collapse of Anak Krakatau in 2018, shed new light on the eruptive sequence. Matrix glass from the base of the stratigraphy is chemically distinct and more evolved than the overlying sequence indicating the presence of a shallow, silicic, melt-rich region that was evacuated during the early eruptive activity from May 1883 onwards. Disruption of the shallow, silicic magma may have led to the coalescence and mixing of chemically similar melts representative of a range of magmatic conditions, as evidenced by complex and varied plagioclase phenocryst zoning profiles. This mixing, over a period of two to three months, culminated in the onset of the climactic phase of the eruption on 26th August 1883. Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) emplaced during this phase of the eruption show a change in transport direction from north east to south west, coinciding with the deposition of a lithic lag breccia unit. This may be attributed to partial collapse of an elevated portion of the island, resulting in the removal of a topographic barrier. Edifice destruction potentially further reduced the overburden on the underlying magmatic system, leading to the most explosive and energetic phase of the eruption in the morning of 27th August 1883. This phase of the eruption culminated in a final period of caldera collapse, which is recorded in the stratigraphy as a second lithic lag breccia. The massive PDC deposits emplaced during this final phase contain glassy blocks up to 8 m in size, observed for the first time in 2019, which are chemically similar to the pyroclastic sequence. These blocks are interpreted as representing stagnant, shallow portions of the magma reservoir disrupted during the final stages of caldera formation. This study provides new evidence for the role that precursory eruptions and amalgamation of shallow crustal magma bodies potentially play in the months leading up to caldera-forming eruptions

Multicentre study to establish interpretive criteria for clofazimine drug susceptibility testing

To conduct a multicentre study to establish the critical concentration (CC) for clofazimine (CFZ) for drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on the MGIT™960™ system using the distribution of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and genotypic analyses of Rv0678 mutations. In phase I of the study, the MIC distribution of laboratory strains (H37Rv and in vitro-selected Rv0678 mutants) and clinical pan-susceptible isolates were determined (n = 70). In phase II, a tentative CC for CFZ (n = 55) was proposed. In phase III, the proposed CC was validated using clinical drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) isolates stratified by Rv0678 mutation (n = 85). The MIC distribution of CFZ for laboratory and clinical pan-susceptible strains ranged between 0.125 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml. As the MIC values of DR-TB isolates used for phase II ranged between 0.25 μg/ml and 1 μg/ml, a CC of 1 μg/ml was proposed. Validation of the CC in phase III showed that probably susceptible and probably resistant Rv0678 mutants overlapped at 1 μg/ml. We therefore recommend a CC of 1 μg/ml, with additional testing at 0.5 μg/ml to define an intermediate category. This was the first comprehensive study to establish a CC for routine phenotypic DST of CFZ using the MGIT960 system to guide therapeutic decisions.https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/iuatld/ijtld2019-11-01hj2019Medical Microbiolog
