Abstract:

Antibody assessment is an essential part in the serological diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. However, different diagnostic strategies have been proposed for the work up of sera in particular from patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (SARD). In general, screening for SARD-associated antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) is followed by confirmatory testing covering different assay techniques. Due to lacking automation, standardization, modern data management, and human bias in IIF screening, this two-stage approach has recently been challenged by multiplex techniques particularly in laboratories with high workload. However, detection of antinuclear antibodies by IIF is still recommended to be the gold standard method for antibody screening in sera from patients with suspected SARD. To address the limitations of IIF and to meet the demand for cost-efficient autoantibody screening, automated IIF methods employing novel pattern recognition algorithms for image analysis have been introduced recently. In this respect, the AKLIDES technology has been the first commercially available platform for automated interpretation of cell-based IIF testing and provides multiplexing by addressable microbead immunoassays for confirmatory testing. This paper gives an overview of recently published studies demonstrating the advantages of this new technology for SARD serology.

Abstract:

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) can develop in different systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD), such as systemic scleroderma (SSD), systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and mixed connective tissue disease In most cases, patients with SARD develop WHO group I PH (pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with systemic connective tissue diseases, PAH-SCTD). General prevalence of this pathology reaches 15 cases per million adults. Most cases of PAH-SCTD are induced by SSD. Survival of PAH-SCTD patients is generally lower than survival of patients with other forms of LAH. Treatment of any SARD, including in LAH, implies a complex approach using glucocorticoids, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, azathioprine, and others), and genetically engineered biologics. Specific targeted therapy is indicated for most patients with PAH-SCTD. The representative of a new class (soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators), riociguat, has been approved for the treatment of PAH. This drug has a unique double mechanism of action: (i) sGC sensibilization to endogenous nitric oxide (NO) by stabilizing the NO-sGC bond; and (ii) direct, NO-independent sGC stimulation. For patients with PAH-SCTD, riociguat is the major alternative to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors both as monotherapy and combination therapy.

Abstract:

Abstract Autoantibodies are helpful tools not only for the diagnosis and the classification of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD) but also for sub-grouping patients and/or for monitoring disease activity or specific tissue/organ damage. Consequently, the role of the diagnostic laboratory in the management of SARD is becoming more and more important. The advent of new techniques raised the need of updating and harmonizing our use/interpretation of the assays. We discuss in this opinion paper some of these issues. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) was originally suggested as the reference technique for anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) detection as previous solid phase assays (SPA) displayed lower sensitivity. The new available SPA are now offering better results and can represent alternative or even complementary diagnostic tools for ANA detection. The improved sensitivity of SPA technology is also changing our interpretation of the results for other types of autoantibody assays, but we need updating their calibration and new reference materials are going to be obtained in order to harmonize the assays. There is growing evidence that the identification of autoantibody combinations or profiles is helpful in improving diagnosis, patients’ subgrouping and predictivity for disease evolution in the field of SARD. We report some explanatory examples to support the idea to make the use of these autoantibody profiles more and more popular. The technological evolution of the autoimmune assays is going to change our routine diagnostic laboratory tests for SARD and validation of new algorithms is needed in order to harmonize our approach to the issue.

Abstract:

The detection of autoantibodies that target intracellular antigens, commonly termed anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), is a serological hallmark in the diagnosis of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD). Different methods are available for detection of ANA and all bearing their own advantages and limitations. Most laboratories use the indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay based on HEp-2 cell substrates. Due to the subjectivity of this diagnostic platform, automated digital reading systems have been developed during the last decade. In addition, solid phase immunoassays using well characterized antigens have gained widespread adoption in high throughput laboratories due to their ease of use and open automation. Despite all the advances in the field of ANA detection and its contribution to the diagnosis of SARD, significant challenges persist. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current status on ANA testing including automated IIF reading systems and solid phase assays and suggests an approach to interpretation of results and discusses meeting the problems of assay standardization and other persistent challenges.

Abstract:

In the mid-1980s, a statewide educational program was initiated to help improve productivity in replanted apple orchards. This effort began with a study of the background of the problem in Washington and an assessment of the problems growers faced when replanting orchards. An array of potential limiting factors were identified-most important, specific apple replant disease (SARD)-but also low soil pH, poor irrigation practices, arsenic (As) spray residues in the soil, soil compaction, nematodes, nutrient deficiencies, and selection of the appropriate orchard system. The educational program was delivered using a variety of methods to reach audience members with different learning styles and to provide various levels of technical information, focusing on ways to correct all limiting factors in replant situations. Results have been: Acceptance of soil fumigation as a management tool: increased recognition of soil physical, chemical, and moisture problems; reduced reliance on seedling rootstock, and an increase in the use of dwarfing, precocious understocks; and better apple tree growth and production in old apple orchard soils.

Abstract:

The present paper deals with the forward mapping problem of cement bonded sand mould system using fuzzy logic (FL)-based approaches. It is important to note that the performance of an FL-based approach depends on its knowledge base (KB) that is, rule base and data base. Here, three approaches have been proposed to solve the said problem. The first Approach deals with the development of manually constructed Mamdani-based FL system, and the second Approach deals with the optimization of the rule base and data base of the FL system constructed in Approach 1, whereas the third Approach deals with automatic evolution of the FL system, in which the consequent part has also been optimized. A binary coded genetic algorithm (GA) has been used for the said purpose. The performances of the developed approaches are tested in forward mapping of a cement bonded sand mould system. It is to be noted that all the approaches can be effectively used to model the cement-bonded moulding sand system.

Abstract:

Summary Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is the preferred method to extract bitumen from Athabasca oil-sand reservoirs in western Canada. Bitumen at reservoir conditions is immobile because of high viscosity, and its saturation is typically large, which limits the injectivity of steam at in-situ conditions. In current industry practice, steam is circulated within injection and production wells. In theory, wells should be converted to SAGD production mode after a period when bitumen is mobile and communication is established between the injector and the producer. Operators use temperature-falloff data to predict successful conversion time. But temperature-falloff data are evaluated qualitatively, and there is not an analytical/numerical framework in which one can use such data. Although the bitumen heating sounds simple, approach wells are failing after steam injection because of steam breakthrough or sand production. Most of these wells are periodically returned to circulation/bullheading to ramp up production rates and heal the hot spots. Most of such failures are associated with early conversion to full SAGD, which shows the need to formulate an analytical/numerical framework to predict the right timing for conversion to full SAGD. In this presentation, the time of flight (ToF) is effectively used to convert spatial variations of temperature into time response of temperature variation at the well sandface. ToF defines the time an oil droplet needs to travel through a medium—more specifically, from its current location to the well sandface. By solving the heat transfer and Darcy's law simultaneously, the ToF is converted to a relationship of the temperature vs. time profile at the producer. This approach has been applied to SAGD well pairs with different geology, and the temperature-falloff trends are presented.

Abstract:

In this reply to Schaafsma et al., the author argues that it is inevitable that hermeneutics is part of the enterprise of systematic theology, and that the approach of Schaafsma et al. has the following advantages: (1) It is applicable within secular universities; (2) It appeals to the many who have few religious certainties but are seeking for religious truth; (3) It can be applied in comparative theology and interreligious dialogue. Nevertheless, he argues that the hermeneutical approach that is proposed by itself does not suffice as the method of systematic theology, because (1) It does not enable theologians to go beyond the interpretation of texts and to check their theological proposals against the realities behind these texts, and (2) It no longer takes its starting point in faith, thus assimilating systematic theology to the humanities. If confessional theology would limit itself to this, it would lose its reason for existence.

Full text

Abstract:

Sand production may be induced by many factors, such as reservoir pressure depletion, excessive draw-down pressure and water-cut. When transported from the formation, the sand particles can cause serious damage to completion and topside assets, impacting the overall productivity and safety of the operating wells. The sand management strategy for a particular field requires careful planning, evaluation and implementation to ensure effective and safe well productivity. The associated CAPEX and OPEX implications and risks can be high if the sanding problem is not managed carefully. This requires a good understanding of field-specific sanding problems. PETRONAS and CSIRO have collaborated on an integrated research program to provide a better understanding of the critical issue affecting sand production and develop associated predictive tools. This involved a multidisciplinary team from geomechanics, fluid mechanics and mathematics to examine the entire sand production process from sand generation, control and transportation to ensure an optimum sand management strategy. This extended abstract provides an overview of the research methodology based on experimental and numerical modelling techniques supported by field information. The study focuses on sand production behaviour, as well as failure of down-hole sand control equipment. The research led to better prediction and quantification of the sand production propensity, as well as erosion severity on critical production equipment. Insights and operational guidelines were also established to assist production and facility engineers in managing sand production challenges. This integrated research methodology would be applicable to unconventional resource areas, such as coal seam gas or shale gas production.

Abstract:

The velocity and concentration of sand/dust particles contained in the air flow are the key factors which affect the quality of sand/dust test. In order to obtain the anticipated sand/dust concentration and uniformity in the test segment, numerical simulation methods are adopted to study the characters of different sand/dust inject approaches. Research results indicated that the gravity sand/dust inject approach is not suitable for the large sand/dust test system, upstream spray approach is appropriate to be adopted in dust test, the uniformity of upstream sand spray method is better than downstream sand spray approach, but its diffusivity is not as good as the latter. In a certain range, the velocity difference between sand/dust spray flow and air flow affects the concentration distribution uniformity slightly. The numerical simulation results applied in the optimal design of particles inject system in some large sand/dust test system get a favorable progress. All results provide reference for the design of similar system and sand/dust environment test.

Abstract:

<p>The use of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) as a minimally invasive procedure with significantly lower morbidity and mortality than surgery, is fast becoming a new treatment modality for a select group of patients with severe emphysema. Lung volume reduction can be achieved either by surgery (LVRS) or the use of endoscopic techniques. Although LVRS offers survival benefit and increased exercise capacity in selected patients, this comes at a price with significant associated morbidity and mortality. The use of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) aims to reduce the risks and costs of surgery with comparable physiological benefits. Current evidence suggests that not all classes and phenotypes of emphysema will benefit from lung volume reduction, and that individual techniques may benefit different subgroups of patients. It therefore remains paramount that a systematic approach is followed and selection criteria are met, given the high costs and potential complications related to both LVRS and ELVR</p>

Abstract:

Abstract This article addresses the questions if and how storytelling in health education can counterbalance the declining willingness to vaccinate. It is argued that stories in health communication can both create problems ánd provide solutions. The problems are illustrated with an analysis of online personal stories of parents who doubt or deny the necessity of vaccinating their children. The analysis shows how these stories put health care providers in the archetypical role of Ruler who deprives parents from their agency. Narrator and reader are put into the archetypical role of Good Mother, implying that not vaccinating is the only possibility to regain agency and be a responsible parent. Responses to these stories by the government and health care providers are typically formulated in terms of factual, statistical information that is usually incapable of convincing vaccine-hesitant and vaccine-rejecting parents. A narrative approach can be a powerful alternative, provided that stories are first listened to before tailored stories are developed and told. These stories can unite different views about the possibilities to act and the consequences thereof, and can transform parents into Heroes protecting not only their own children but also the children of others. Such “story bridging” combines different types of stories in an interactive storytelling model for health education, which does justice to the target groups’ growing need for agency.

Abstract:

The sand production problem is plaguing the petroleum industry by its adverse effects on thousands of oil and gas fields throughout the world. A tremendous amount of money is spent each year on attempts to predict and control sand influx and/or repair wells and equipment damaged by sand. Sand inflow into the well during production leads to casing abrasion and failure, formation damage and distortion, and frequent sand removal and cleaning. The sand control process has a major influence on the type of the well completion design and it influences the guidelines for the completion process. In addition, many wells are currently being produced below their potential in order to restrict sand influx or erosion, and/or as a result of poorly designed or installed sand control methods. Evidently, the sand prediction and control problem is exceedingly complex and suggests the use of heuristics and the appropriateness of the expert systems technology. An automated sand control consultant and expert system has been developed. The system is aimed at assisting users in predicting sand occurrence during production and in selecting and designing the proper sand-exclusion treatments. The knowledge base of the system is based on an easy upgrade, easy expand format and involves four primary modules, thus giving the end-user greater flexibility to tentatively access and evaluate different scenarios of knowledge processing. Input data can range from “not known” formation characteristics and/or well stimulation requirements, for which the system gives conservative recommendations based on the remaining known facts, completion characteristics of the hole, well history, and geological probability; to cases with detailed information available, in which case very elaborate and precise recommendations are prescribed. This paper describes the knowledge involved in various modules of the sanding system, as well as future plans and further developments.

Malheureusement, l’éventail des différents types de rassemblements ne permet pas de donner des directives précises pour fixer des paramètres limitatifs (e.g. la taille totale du rassemblement, le nombre de cohortes, le degré de distanciation physique). Méthodes : Nous avons utilisé un cadre de modélisation générique basé sur les principes fondamentaux de probabilité pour dériver des formules simples permettant d’évaluer les risques d’introduction et de transmission liés aux rassemblements ainsi que l’efficacité potentielle de certaines stratégies de dépistage pour atténuer ces risques. Résultats : Le risque d’introduction peut être évalué de manière générale en fonction de la prévalence de la population et de la taille du rassemblement, tandis que le risque de transmission au cours d’un rassemblement dépend principalement de la taille du rassemblement. Pour les rassemblements récurrents, la structure de la cohorte n’a pas d’effet significatif sur la transmission entre cohortes. Les stratégies de test peuvent atténuer les risques, mais la fréquence et la performance des tests permettent d’établir un équilibre entre la détection et les faux positifs. Conclusion : La généralité du cadre de modélisation utilisé ici permet de démêler les différents facteurs des risques de transmission au cours des rassemblements. Ce cadre pourra éclairer la prise de décisions en matière de santé publique.

Abstract:

Coronavirus is a pandemic in the world. It requires researchers and scientists to work hard to find a vaccine or drug to inhibit the development of the coronavirus. Many drugs have been used, such as remdesivir, lopinavir, and chloroquine. However, how effective is the use of these drugs for inhibiting the coronavirus’s growth? There is no research has been done. Curcumin is now known as one of the compounds that have some biological activities, and it is also can potentially be used as a CoV-2 inhibitor. The computational study, i.e., molecular docking and molecular dynamic, can help researchers to predict which compounds have the potential as an inhibitor against the CoV-2 coronavirus. In this study, lopinavir was used as a positive control. Lopinavir and 45 curcumin analog compounds were docked against the main protease protein with 6LU7 PDB ID. Based on the docking results, it was discovered that compound 1, compound 2, and compound 4 have the same binding orientation as lopinavir. Molecular dynamic simulation with the lowest binding free energy conformation was used to check these compounds’ stability. Only compound 4 was maintained to observe hydrogen bonding with Lys5 and Lys137 with a distance of 2.9 Å. The distance of hydrogen bonds and binding free energy over simulation time is essential to elucidate the potential compound’s affinity. For then, compound 4 can be used as a potential inhibitor against the CoV-2 coronavirus.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review available technologies, analyse their features, propose a new approach of 3D sand mould printing based on line forming, introduce the manufacturing principle and show advantages of this approach, especially for larger parts with large Z steps in the build, such as 2 mm stepwise. Design/methodology/approach This paper introduces 3D sand mould printing, compares and analyses technological process and existing fabrication approaches among available technologies first. Then, a new approach of 3D sand mould printing is proposed to improve build speed. In addition, the proposed system will be analysed or benchmarked against existing systems. Findings A new approach based on line forming of sand mould printing is put forward by reviewing and analysing available technologies, to improve build speed from the aspect of basic moulding movement instead of optimization of moulding methods and process parameters. The theoretical calculation and analysis shows that build speed can be improved greatly, and it is more suitable for the manufacture of large-scale casting’s sand mould when considering dimensional accuracy and printing error, as well as uniformity of each layer. Research limitations/implications The specific implement scheme of line forming and nozzle’s specific structure of this new approach need further study. Practical implications Much higher build speed of 3D sand mould printing with new approach brings evident implication for moulds companies and manufacturing industry, having a far-reaching influence on the development of national economy. Originality/value This paper reviews available technologies and presents a new approach of 3D sand mould printing for the first time. Analysis of the new approach shows that this new method of sand mould printing can boost build speed greatly. So, its application prospect is great.

Abstract:

Many of us have heard and said that the best approach to defeating the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-Cov2) and novel Corona virus disease of 2019 (Covid-19) is to let public health and science guide the response. Others have invoked both public health and science.. They have said that public health or science should drive the (national or global) response.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Interceptive treatment of Class II, Division 1 malocclusion is a challenge orthodontists commonly face due to the different growth patterns they come across and the different treatment strategies they have available.OBJECTIVE: To report five cases of interceptive orthodontics performed with the aid of Klammt's elastic open activator (KEOA) to treat Class II, Division 1 malocclusion.METHODS: Treatment comprehends one or two phases; and the use of functional orthopedic appliances, whenever properly recommended, is able to minimize dentoskeletal discrepancies with consequent improvement in facial esthetics during the first stage of mixed dentition. The triad of diagnosis, correct appliance manufacture and patient's compliance is imperative to allow KEOA to contribute to Class II malocclusion treatment.RESULTS: Cases reported herein showed significant improvement in skeletal, dental and profile aspects, as evinced by cephalometric analysis and clinical photographs taken before, during and after interceptive orthodontics.

Abstract:

<div><p>The exact incidence of superior mediastinal masses in children is largely unknown. They present as a spectrum of disease ranging from an incidental finding on a Chest X-Ray to being markedly symptomatic with superior vena caval syndrome or obstruction of the upper airways. Lymphomas seem to be the most common causes of superior mediastinal masses in children. We present two cases of confirmed T cell lymphoma in children with superior mediastinal masses. In doing so, we explore a diagnostic approach and visit the complications the physician needs to be aware of when confronted with a child with a superior mediastinal mass.</p></div>
