Abstract

Production of Lactobacillus salivarius i 24, a probiotic strain for chicken, was studied in batch fermentation using 500 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Response surface method (RSM) was used to optimize the medium for efficient cultivation of the bacterium. The factors investigated were yeast extract, glucose and initial culture pH. A polynomial regression model with cubic and quartic terms was used for the analysis of the experimental data. Estimated optimal conditions of the factors for growth of L. salivarius i 24 were; 3.32 % (w/v) glucose, 4.31 % (w/v) yeast extract and initial culture pH of 6.10.

Abstract

Chemical modifications such as intercalation can be used to modify surface properties or to further functionalize the surface states of topological insulators. Using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we report copper migration in $\text{Cu}_{x}\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$, which occurs on a timescale of hours to days after initial surface cleaving. The increase in near-surface copper proceeds along with the oxidation of the sample surface and large changes in the selenium content. These complex changes are further modelled with core-level spectroscopy simulations, which suggest a composition gradient near the surface which develops with oxygen exposure. Our results shed light on a new phenomenon that must be considered for intercalated topological insulators$\unicode{x2014}$and intercalated materials in general$\unicode{x2014}$that surface chemical composition can change when specimens are exposed to ambient conditions.

Abstract

We report bulk magnetization measurements and spatially resolved measurements of magnetic domains in Co3Sn2S2 single crystals. The results indicate that a previously reported magnetic anomaly around 130 K is due to an anomalous domain wall depinning upon cooling. Our measurements also reveal a hysteresis between field-cooled-cooling (FCC) and field-cooled-warming (FCW) magnetization curves acquired under a constant magnetic field below 300 Oe. This observation rules out the possibility that the anomaly stems from a second-order phase transition. Our results further suggest that changes in the shape of hysteresis loops from 5 K to 170 K are caused by an unusual temperature-dependent domain nucleation field that changes sign around 130 K. The Kerr rotation images of the magnetic domains confirm that the domain walls depin between 120 K and 140 K., Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures

Abstract

A proper and representative monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 herd immunity including a long-term health impact on recovered patients and vaccinated individuals is of great importance. For this, a monitoring campaign should assesses both humoral and T-cell immune arms. Upon that, analyzing antigen specific-cell activation and cellular phenotype are informative. We developed a flow cytometry method for detection of intracellular IFN-producing antigen-reactive T cells after exposure of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to SARS-CoV-2 virus antigens. The method was validated according to the following characteristics: sensitivity, specificity, precision, and robustness. We used positive samples from donors recovered from COVID-19 and negative samples from donors who had no contact with COVID-19 patients and lacking antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. All samples were tested by laboratory methods. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from donor blood by centrifugation in a Ficoll density gradient. Specific T cells were stimulated with S-protein as well as N, M, ORF3a, and ORF7a protein peptides to count IFN-producing T cells by flow cytometer. The data were statistically analyzed. The area limited by ROC-curve and false positive rate (AUC) for CD4 and CD8 cells was from 0.97 to 1.00. Precision was considered acceptable because the coefficient of variation for all PBCM did not exceed 20%. Robustness was confirmed for frozen and freshly prepared PBMC samples. The thresholds levels to recognize immune and non-immune samples were defined for CD4-positive T-cells (0.029%) and CD8-positive T-cells (0.0640.068%). Also, acceptance criteria for positive and negative controls were defined. Based on the validation, the suitability of the method Evaluation of antigen-reactive T cells that produce intracellular IFN in response to SARS-CoV-2 virus antigens by flow cytometry was confirmed. The method allows for reliable data that was used to characterize standard control samples for internal quality control of TigraTest SARS-CoV-2 kits.

Abstract

The high critical temperature superconductor Lanthanum Barium Copper Oxide (La2-xBaxCuO4 or LBCO) exhibits a strong anomaly in critical temperature at 1/8th doping, nematicity, and other interesting properties. We report here Scanning Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) imaging of the magnetic fields and susceptibility in a number of thin film LBCO samples with doping in the vicinity of the 1/8th anomaly. Spatially resolved measurements of the critical temperatures of these samples do not show a pronounced depression at 1/8th doping. They do, however, exhibit strong, nearly linear modulations of the susceptibility ("straie") of multiple samples with surprisingly long periods of 1-4 microns. Counterintuitively, vortices trap in positions of largest diamagnetic susceptibility in these striae. Given the rich interplay of different orders in this material system and its known sensitivity to epitaxial strain, we propose phase separation as a possible origin of these features and discuss scenarios in which that might arise., Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures

Abstract

We start investigating the extension of the Horizon Quantum Mechanics to the case of spheroidal sources. We first study the location of trapping surfaces in space-times resulting from an axial deformation of static isotropic systems, and show that the Misner-Sharp mass evaluated on the corresponding undeformed spherically symmetric space provides the correct gravitational radius to locate the horizon. We finally propose a way to determine the deformation parameter in the quantum theory., Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, final version to appear in EPL

Abstract

Purpose: To compare pulmonary function metrics obtained with hyperpolarized xenon‐129 (HXe) MRS, using chemical shift saturation recovery (CSSR) and CSI‐CSSR, in healthy rats and a rat model of radiation‐induced lung injury. Methods: HXe‐MR data were acquired in two healthy rats and one rat with radiation‐induced lung injury using whole‐lung spectroscopy and CSI‐CSSR techniques. The CSI‐CSSR acquisitions were performed with both fixed TE and variable TE. Apparent alveolar septal wall thickness, gas transfer dynamics, and regional lung function were quantified and compared across acquisition methods. Spectral analysis included alignment of dissolved‐phase frequency spectra using the membrane resonance as reference, segmentation of gas‐phase (GP) frequency distribution, and characterization of gas uptake in the vasculature. Results: Complex GP line shapes were observed in rat lungs, necessitating pixel‐wise CSI analysis and membrane resonance alignment for improved quantification. Notable differences in alveolar septal wall thickness, dissolved‐phase GP ratios, and GP and red blood cell frequencies were found between acquisition techniques and lung conditions. CSI‐CSSR provided unique insights into regional lung function, including the identification of distinct GP frequency zones potentially corresponding to different airway structures, and the ability to map relative xenon gas transport. Metrics from fixed‐TE and variable‐TE acquisitions usually differed by less than 10%, but the latter yielded a 20% SNR gain. Conclusion: HXe‐MRS and CSI‐CSSR techniques provide similar but not universally interchangeable insights into lung function, particularly in the presence of pathology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the clinico-epidemiological characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the southern region of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which has a population of 930,601. Methods: This prospective, single-center, longitudinal study was conducted from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. MS patients in this region underwent examination and treatment under a State Program. During this period, 123 individuals visited the Neurological Center, and 104 confirmed MS cases were included in a digital database. Age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates per 100,000 were calculated using world and European population standards. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27. Results: The mean diagnostic age was 36.31±6.93 years, higher than the countrywide average of 34.9 years. The average diagnostic delay was 7.01 years, significantly longer than the national average of 5.2 years. Regional MS prevalence was 10.96/100,000, with higher urban rates but no significant sex difference. The average 10-years incidence of MS was 0.94±0.32/100,000. Compared to neighboring regions, such as Iran's East Azerbaijan Province and Turkiye, the MS prevalence in this area is lower. Although MS prevalence and incidence in Azerbaijan are below European levels, they exceed those in some Asian countries. Conclusion: This is the first study on MS epidemiology in Southern Azerbaijan. The findings underscore the need for public awareness campaigns and enhanced diagnostic training for healthcare professionals, particularly in primary care, to facilitate early symptom detection and reduce diagnostic delays. Further research is recommended to investigate regional factors affecting MS diagnosis and to improve timely healthcare access. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Vibrations can cause noise in scanning probe microscopies. Relative vibrations between the scanning sensor and the sample are important but can be more difficult to determine than absolute vibrations or vibrations relative to the laboratory. We measure the noise spectral density in a scanning SQUID microscope as a function of position near a localized source of magnetic field, and show that we can determine the spectra of all three components of the relative sensor-sample vibrations. This method is a powerful tool for diagnosing vibrational noise in scanning microscopies., Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures

Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons’ knowledge and perception of using AI-based tools in clinical decision-making processes. Methods: An online survey grounded on literature regarding AI-enabled surgical decision-making aids was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was advertised to 917 WSES members through the society’s website and Twitter profile. Results: 650 surgeons from 71 countries in five continents participated in the survey. Results depict the presence of technology enthusiasts and skeptics and surgeons’ preference toward more classical decision-making aids like clinical guidelines, traditional training, and the support of their multidisciplinary colleagues. A lack of knowledge about several AI-related aspects emerges and is associated with mistrust. Discussion: The trauma and emergency surgical community is divided into those who firmly believe in the potential of AI and those who do not understand or trust AI-enabled surgical decision-making aids. Academic societies and surgical training programs should promote a foundational, working knowledge of clinical AI.

Abstract

Background: In contrast to adults, the situation for pediatric trauma care from an international point of view and the global management of severely injured children remain rather unclear. The current study investigates structural management of pediatric trauma in centers of different trauma levels as well as experiences with pediatric trauma management around the world. Methods: A web-survey had been distributed to the global mailing list of the World Society of Emergency Surgery from 10/2021–03/2022, investigating characteristics of respondents and affiliated hospitals, case-load of pediatric trauma patients, capacities and infrastructure for critical care in children, trauma team composition, clinical work-up and individual experiences with pediatric trauma management in response to patients ́ age. The collaboration group was subdivided regarding sizes of affiliated hospitals to allow comparisons concerning hospital volumes. Comparable results were conducted to statistical analysis. Results: A total of 133 participants from 34 countries, i.e. 5 continents responded to the survey. They were most commonly affiliated with larger hospitals (> 500 beds in 72.9%) and with level I or II trauma centers (82.0%), respectively. 74.4% of hospitals offer unrestricted pediatric medical care, but only 63.2% and 42.9% of the participants had sufficient experiences with trauma care in children ≤ 10 and ≤ 5 years of age (p = 0.0014). This situation is aggravated in participants from smaller hospitals (p < 0.01). With regard to hospital size (≤ 500 versus > 500 in-hospital beds), larger hospitals were more likely affiliated with advanced trauma centers, more elaborated pediatric intensive care infrastructure (p < 0.0001), treated children at all ages more frequently (p = 0.0938) and have higher case-loads of severely injured children < 12 years of age (p = 0.0009). Therefore, the majority of larger hospitals reserve either pediatric surgery departments or board-certi

Abstract

Background: Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars of the modern patient-centric philosophy of care. This study aims to explore SDM in the discipline of trauma and emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well as the barriers and facilitators for its implementation among surgeons. Methods: Grounding on the literature on the topics of the understanding, barriers, and facilitators of SDM in trauma and emergency surgery, a survey was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was sent to all 917 WSES members, advertised through the society’s website, and shared on the society’s Twitter profile. Results: A total of 650 trauma and emergency surgeons from 71 countries in five continents participated in the initiative. Less than half of the surgeons understood SDM, and 30% still saw the value in exclusively engaging multidisciplinary provider teams without involving the patient. Several barriers to effectively partnering with the patient in the decision-making process were identified, such as the lack of time and the need to concentrate on making medical teams work smoothly. Discussion: Our investigation underlines how only a minority of trauma and emergency surgeons understand SDM, and perhaps, the value of SDM is not fully accepted in trauma and emergency situations. The inclusion of SDM practices in clinical guidelines may represent the most feasible and advocated solutions.

Abstract

In this paper, an electronic instrument was developed that can detect electrical energy without using the conventional probes. The proposed system can detect the AC and DC voltage via wireless detector. The circuit design is based on the theory of an electronic circuit consisting of Darlington transistors that have a high gain, and a copper strip (or wire) is used as a probe. It is primarily concerned with the development of an electronic circuit for the safe handling of hazardous electrical, radiation and chemical substances. Furthermore, the proposed system offers multipurpose services such as short circuit prevention and troubleshooting as well as cable disconnection prevention. It also utilizes hazardous sensor services for any leakage voltages and currents since only DC voltages are used in the circuit design. The design is considered "green innovation" due to the fact that a DC voltage source is used rather than AC or high voltage. Intelligently designed and selection practices make efficient use of resources and minimize energy consumption by creating efficient environments. System analysis has been conducted using Python software since this language offers flexibility, and is simple to use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Investigating the context of trauma and acute care surgery, the article aims at understanding the factors that can enhance some ethical aspects, namely the importance of patient consent, the perceptiveness of the ethical role of the trauma leader, and the perceived importance of ethics as an educational subject. Methods: The article employs an international questionnaire promoted by the World Society of Emergency Surgery. Results: Through the analysis of 402 fully filled questionnaires by surgeons from 72 different countries, the three main ethical topics are investigated through the lens of gender, membership of an academic or non-academic institution, an official trauma team, and a diverse group. In general terms, results highlight greater attention paid by surgeons belonging to academic institutions, official trauma teams, and diverse groups. Conclusions: Our results underline that some organizational factors (e.g., the fact that the team belongs to a university context or is more diverse) might lead to the development of a higher sensibility on ethical matters. Embracing cultural diversity forces trauma teams to deal with different mindsets. Organizations should, therefore, consider those elements in defining their organizational procedures. Level of evidence: Trauma and acute care teams work under tremendous pressure and complex circumstances, with their members needing to make ethical decisions quickly. The international survey allowed to shed light on how team assembly decisions might represent an opportunity to coordinate team member actions and increase performance.

Abstract

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still ongoing and a major challenge for health care services worldwide. In the first WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey, a strong negative impact on emergency surgery (ES) had been described already early in the pandemic situation. However, the knowledge is limited about current effects of the pandemic on patient flow through emergency rooms, daily routine and decision making in ES as well as their changes over time during the last two pandemic years. This second WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey investigates the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on ES during the course of the pandemic. Methods: A web survey had been distributed to medical specialists in ES during a four-week period from January 2022, investigating the impact of the pandemic on patients and septic diseases both requiring ES, structural problems due to the pandemic and time-to-intervention in ES routine. Results: 367 collaborators from 59 countries responded to the survey. The majority indicated that the pandemic still significantly impacts on treatment and outcome of surgical emergency patients (83.1% and 78.5%, respectively). As reasons, the collaborators reported decreased case load in ES (44.7%), but patients presenting with more prolonged and severe diseases, especially concerning perforated appendicitis (62.1%) and diverticulitis (57.5%). Otherwise, approximately 50% of the participants still observe a delay in time-to-intervention in ES compared with the situation before the pandemic. Relevant causes leading to enlarged time-to-intervention in ES during the pandemic are persistent problems with in-hospital logistics, lacks in medical staff as well as operating room and intensive care capacities during the pandemic. This leads not only to the need for triage or transferring of ES patients to other hospitals, reported by 64.0% and 48.8% of the collaborators, respectively, but also to paradigm shifts in treatment modalities to non-operative approach

Abstract

Background: The objectives of the study were to investigate the organizational characteristics of acute care facilities worldwide in preventing and managing infections in surgery; assess participants’ perception regarding infection prevention and control (IPC) measures, antibiotic prescribing practices, and source control; describe awareness about the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and IPC measures; and determine the role of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic on said awareness. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted contacting 1432 health care workers (HCWs) belonging to a mailing list provided by the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery. The self-administered questionnaire was developed by a multidisciplinary team. The survey was open from May 22, 2021, and June 22, 2021. Three reminders were sent, after 7, 14, and 21 days. Results: Three hundred four respondents from 72 countries returned a questionnaire, with an overall response rate of 21.2%. Respectively, 90.4% and 68.8% of participants stated their hospital had a multidisciplinary IPC team or a multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship team. Local protocols for antimicrobial therapy of surgical infections and protocols for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis were present in 76.6% and 90.8% of hospitals, respectively. In 23.4% and 24.0% of hospitals no surveillance systems for surgical site infections and no monitoring systems of used antimicrobials were implemented. Patient and family involvement in IPC management was considered to be slightly or not important in their hospital by the majority of respondents (65.1%). Awareness of the global burden of AMR among HCWs was considered very important or important by 54.6% of participants. The COVID-19 pandemic was considered by 80.3% of respondents as a very important or important factor in raising HCWs awareness of the IPC programs in their hospital. Based on the survey results, the authors developed 15 statements for

Abstract

This thesis presents an investigation into the application of optical fibre sensors to a tomographic imaging system. Several sensing mechanisms for measurement using non-intrusive techniques are discussed and there relevance to pneumatic conveying discussed. Optical systems are shown to be worthy of investigation. The optical sensor is modelled to predict the expected sensor output voltage profiles arising from different, artificially produced flow regimes. These artificial flow regimes are created by placing a shaped obstruction inside a gravity drop conveyor in the path of the flowing solids. It is shown that for two arrays, each consisting of sixteen transducers, approximately 30% of the measurement volume is sampled. An image reconstruction method for optical tomography is described, based on the back projection between view lines algorithm. The design of the optical tomography system is described, with emphasis on preparation of the ends of the optical fibre, beam collimation and design of the transmitter and receiver circuits. The optical sensors are evaluated singly and as a tomographic array. Results relating to concentration measurement are presented for solids flow using sand with a mean of 300 micron and plastic beads of 2 mm nominal diameter. Measurements were made with a single optical sensor using the gravity flow rig. The results demonstrate the suitability of the optical sensor for concentration measurement for lightly loaded flows (up to approximately 2% solids by volume in the test). The test is extended to all thirty-two sensors using a range of solids mass flow rates from 40 to 320 gm/s with both dry sand and plastic beads over a range of artificially created flow regimes. The results obtained by comparing the measured and predicted flowrates show good general agreement. The statistical parameters for the error of the sand flow measurement have been calculated as having a mean of 6.76% and standard deviation of 3.94% and for plastic beads is 5.43% and standard deviation of 0.21%. The results also demonstrates that the system is reasonably independent of flow regime and so the optical fibre system is suitable as a concentration meter. Back projection is used to generate tomographic images as an alternative representation of the data on concentration measurement. This provides a visual representation of optical density (concentration) information which is not obvious from the concentration measurements. Results from experiments on particles with different sizes are presented. The results are analysed using frequency spectrum techniques and shown to be dependent upon the particle size for approximately spherical particles with diameters between 600 |im and 5 mm. Suggestions for further work on optical fibre sensors and optical fibre tomographic measurements are made.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), also known as 2019-nCoV (2019-Novel Coronavirus) is a strain of coronavirus from the genus Betacoronavirus, discovered in China at the end of 2019 in patients with pneumonia. Coronavirus infection COVID-19 (COrona VIrus Disease 2019) caused by coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the world at a very fast pace, with death toll exceeding more than 5.2 million people worldwide. Limited success in developing new drugs as well as use of existing drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 resulted in situation when the main prevention measures for a long time were based on testing and isolation of sick subjects, which started to reverse due to vaccination. Monitoring the formation of humoral and T-cell population immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the COVID-19 pandemic is a necessary element for epidemiological surveillance. ELISA-based methods are widely used to assess humoral immunity, and various test systems including ELISPOT (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot) are used to analyze cellular immunity. The ELISPOT assay is a highly sensitive and specific method for quantifying individual cytokine-secreting T cells after being stimulated with a specific antigen. TigraTest SARS-CoV-2 Test assessing release of interferon gamma in vitro to detect peripheral blood T-lymphocytes that specifically respond to the SARS-CoV-2 virus antigens manufactured by GENERIUM JSC, is created on the ELISPOT platform. This study describes the procedure for laboratory validation of this test system to analyze the following parameters: specificity of antibody pair, effect of interfering substances, sensitivity and specificity, precision, stability of blood samples till isolation of target cells. The developed test system showed high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. The specificity of TigraTest SARS-CoV-2 was 100%, the sensitivity for subjects immunized with the Gam-COVID-Vac vaccine (Sputnik V) was 91.67%, and the sensitivity in convalescent COVID-19 patients was 95.45%. At the same time, the data variability both during within and between series comparison did not exceed 25%, whereas 24-hour storage of peripheral blood samples at (1825)С after blood collection followed by isolation of target cells did not affect the test results.

Abstract

This study was aimed to produce zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using the supernatant of Weissella confusa UPM22MT04 and assess their effectiveness in inhibiting methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). An isolate of Weissella confusa UPM22MT04 was isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in Johor, Malaysia, and was utilized to synthesize ZnO-NPs. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were characterized through several techniques, including UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Monodisperse spherical ZnO-NPs of 1.7 - 7.9 nm were obtained with 0.1 M zinc nitrate at 80°C. The biosynthesized ZnO-NPs exhibited vigorous inhibitory activity against MRSA. Results found that ZnO-NPs inhibited MRSA at a minimum concentration of 0.625 mg/mL and were bactericidal at a minimum concentration of 1.25 mg/mL. In MTT assays, ZnO-NPs showed no toxicity to HS-27 fibroblasts. The supernatant of Weissella confusa UPM22MT04 could be used to synthesize ZnO-NPs, which are an antibacterial agent, eco-friendly and nontoxic.

Abstract

Background Investigating the context of trauma and acute care surgery, the article aims at understanding the factors that can enhance some ethical aspects, namely the importance of patient consent, the perceptiveness of the ethical role of the trauma leader, and the perceived importance of ethics as an educational subject. Methods The article employs an international questionnaire promoted by the World Society of Emergency Surgery. Results Through the analysis of 402 fully filled questionnaires by surgeons from 72 different countries, the three main ethical topics are investigated through the lens of gender, membership of an academic or non-academic institution, an official trauma team, and a diverse group. In general terms, results highlight greater attention paid by surgeons belonging to academic institutions, official trauma teams, and diverse groups. Conclusions Our results underline that some organizational factors (e.g., the fact that the team belongs to a university context or is more diverse) might lead to the development of a higher sensibility on ethical matters. Embracing cultural diversity forces trauma teams to deal with different mindsets. Organizations should, therefore, consider those elements in defining their organizational procedures. Level of evidence Trauma and acute care teams work under tremendous pressure and complex circumstances, with their members needing to make ethical decisions quickly. The international survey allowed to shed light on how team assembly decisions might represent an opportunity to coordinate team member actions and increase performance.

The therapy has been initiated in an attempt to alleviate the prevalent cytokine storm and to prevent intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation, when a long-term nasal oxygen therapy with a maximum flow rate of 8L/min was insufficient to achieve an adequate oxygenation. Even though patient 2 had to be intubated after the 4th cycle of plasmapheresis due to the exhaustion of the respiratory muscles and the subsequent acquired sepsis with a microbiological evidence of a mixed bacterial-fungal infection, both patients showed a good response to treatment, including improvement of laboratory and radiological findings. To our knowledge, this combination of therapeutic plasma exchange with a high-dose steroid therapy has not been reported previously.Keywords: Covid-19, plasmapheresis, immunosuppression, cytokine storm

Purpose This study aims to develop and validate a parametric response mapping (PRM) methodology to accurately identify diseased regions of the lung by using variable thresholds to account for alterations in regional lung function between the gravitationally-independent (anterior) and gravitationally-dependent (posterior) lung in CT images acquired in the supine position. Methods 34 male Sprague-Dawley rats (260-540 g) were imaged, 4 of which received elastase injection (100 units/kg) as a model for emphysema (EMPH). Gated volumetric CT was performed at end-inspiration (EI) and end-expiration (EE) on separate groups of free-breathing (n = 20) and ventilated (n = 10) rats in the supine position. To derive variable thresholds for the new PRM methodology, voxels were first grouped into 100 bins based on the fractional distance along the anterior-to-posterior direction. Lower limits of normal (LLN) for x-ray attenuation in each bin were set by determining the smallest region that enclosed 98% of voxels from healthy, ventilated animals. Results When utilizing fixed thresholds in the conventional PRM methodology, a distinct posterior-anterior gradient was seen, in which nearly the entire posterior region of the lung was identified as HEALTHY, while the anterior lung was labeled as significantly less so (t(29) = -3.27, p = 0.003). In both cohorts, %SAD progressively increased from posterior to anterior, while %HEALTHY lung decreased in the same direction. After applying our PRM methodology with variable thresholds to the same rat images, the posterior-anterior trend in %SAD quantification was removed from all rats and the significant increase of diseased lung in the anterior was removed. Conclusions The PRM methodology using variable thresholds provides regionally specific markers of %SAD and %EMPH by correcting for alterations in regional lung function associated with the naturally occurring vertical gradient of dependent vs. non-dependent lung density and compliance.
