Immune mediation of HMG-like DSP1 via Toll-Spätzle pathway and its specific inhibition by salicylic acid analogs

Plos.org 

by Md. Mahi Imam Mollah, Shabbir Ahmed, Yonggyun Kim

Xenorhabdus hominickii, an entomopathogenic bacterium, inhibits eicosanoid biosynthesis of target insects to suppress their immune responses by inhibiting phospholipase A2 (PLA2) through binding to a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule called dorsal switch protein 1 (DSP1) from Spodoptera exigua, a lepidopteran insect. However, the signalling pathway between DSP1 and PLA2 remains unknown. The objective of this study was... Читать дальше...

Researchers working from home: Benefits and challenges

Plos.org 

by Balazs Aczel, Marton Kovacs, Tanja van der Lippe, Barnabas Szaszi

The flexibility allowed by the mobilization of technology disintegrated the traditional work-life boundary for most professionals. Whether working from home is the key or impediment to academics’ efficiency and work-life balance became a daunting question for both scientists and their employers. The recent pandemic brought into focus the merits and challenges of working from home on a level of personal experience. Using a convenient sampling... Читать дальше...



Machine learning models based on remote and proximal sensing as potential methods for in-season biomass yields prediction in commercial sorghum fields

Plos.org 

by Ephrem Habyarimana, Faheem S. Baloch

Crop yield monitoring demonstrated the potential to improve agricultural productivity through improved crop breeding, farm management and commodity planning. Remote and proximal sensing offer the possibility to cut crop monitoring costs traditionally associated with surveys and censuses. Fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), chlorophyll concentration (CI) and normalized difference vegetation (NDVI) indices were used in crop monitoring... Читать дальше...

Comparison of 27-gauge and 25-gauge vitrectomy in the management of tractional retinal detachment secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Plos.org 

by Po-Lin Chen, Yan-Ting Chen, San-Ni Chen

Objective

To compare surgical outcomes between 27 and 25-gauge vitrectomy in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with tractional retinal detachment (TRD)

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted to compare the intraoperative status, operation time, use of instruments, endotamponade substance, wound suture number, and iatrogenic break, between 27 and 25-gauge vitrectomy in 43 eyes afflicted by PDR with TRD. The post-surgical results... Читать дальше...

Short-term effects of the COVID-19 state of emergency on contraceptive access and utilization in Mozambique

Plos.org 

by Jessica Leight, Catherine Hensly, Marcos Chissano, Liza Ali

The COVID-19 pandemic has increasingly disrupted the global delivery of preventive health care services, as a large number of governments have issued state of emergency orders halting service delivery. However, there is limited evidence on the realized effects of the pandemic and associated emergency orders on access to services in low-income country contexts to date. To address this gap, this paper analyzes administrative data... Читать дальше...

Artificial neural networks versus LASSO regression for the prediction of long-term survival after surgery for invasive IPMN of the pancreas

Plos.org 

by Linus Aronsson, Roland Andersson, Daniel Ansari

Prediction of long-term survival in patients with invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas may aid in patient assessment, risk stratification and personalization of treatment. This study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of artificial neural networks (ANN) and LASSO regression in terms of 5-year disease-specific survival. ANN work in a non-linear fashion, having a potential advantage in analysis of... Читать дальше...

Frequency of relapse for severe acute malnutrition and associated factors among under five children admitted to health facilities in Hadiya Zone, South Ethiopia

Plos.org 

by Abera Lambebo, Deselegn Temiru, Tefera Belachew

Background

Severe acute malnutrition is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among under five children in Ethiopia. A child may experience more than one episode of SAM depending on the improvement of the underlying factors. However, there is no study that determined the frequency of relapse of SAM cases after discharge in Ethiopia.

Objective

To identify the frequency of relapse and associated factors among children discharged... Читать дальше...

Ideological differences in engagement in public debate on Twitter

Plos.org 

by Felix Gaisbauer, Armin Pournaki, Sven Banisch, Eckehard Olbrich

This article analyses public debate on Twitter via network representations of retweets and replies. We argue that tweets observable on Twitter have both a direct and mediated effect on the perception of public opinion. Through the interplay of the two networks, it is possible to identify potentially misleading representations of public opinion on the platform. The method is employed to observe public debate about two events... Читать дальше...
