The past few years were marked by increased online offensive strategies perpetrated by state and non-state actors to promote their political agenda, sow discord, and question the legitimacy of democratic institutions in the US and Western Europe. In 2016, the US congress identified a list of Russian state-sponsored Twitter accounts that were used to try to divide voters on a wide range of issues. Previous research used latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to estimate latent topics in data extracted from these accounts. However, LDA has characteristics that may limit the effectiveness of its use on data from social media The number of latent topics must be specified by the user, interpretability of the topics can be difficult to achieve, and it does not model short-term temporal dynamics. In the current paper, we propose a new method to estimate latent topics in texts from social media termed Dynamic Exploratory Graph Analysis (DynEGA). In a Monte Carlo simulation, we compared the ability of DynEGA and LDA to estimate the number of simulated latent topics. The results show that DynEGA is substantially more accurate than several different LDA algorithms when estimating the number of simulated topics. In an applied example, we performed DynEGA on a large dataset with Twitter posts from state-sponsored right- and left-wing trolls during the 2016 US presidential election. DynEGA revealed topics that were pertinent to several consequential events in the election cycle, demonstrating the coordinated effort of trolls capitalizing on current events in the USA. This example demonstrates the potential power of our approach for revealing temporally relevant information from qualitative text data.
The data on the prognostic significance of red cell distribution width (RDW) in gallbladder cancers is sparse, especially in the potentially resectable cohort of patients. The aim was to assess the prognostic significance of RDW in gallbladder cancer patients undergoing surgery.

Retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained database of gallbladder cancer patients undergoing surgery at a tertiary cancer institute from 2010 till 2018. CIL56 clinical trial Baseline values were collected. Patients were grouped as per the median RDW value and compared. Survival analysis was done using the Kaplan Meier method.

A total of 605 patients were included. The median follow up period was 23months (range 6-120months). The median value of RDW was 14. Comparison between RDW > 14 and RDW < 14 groups showed no difference in outcomes. RDW did not predict overall survival or recurrences. However, in combined stages II and III, a statistically significant improvement in OS and DFS (p < 0.001) was noted in the RDW < 14 group.

RDW did not predict recurrence or survival in potentially resectable gallbladder cancer patients. However, in the subset of stages II and III in combination, lower RDW value was associated with better outcomes. More prospective studies are needed to conclusively establish the prognostic value of RDW.

Recently, a promising evidence of synergic effects of combined supplementation with vitamin D and probiotics in modulating the gut microbiota and metabolome is emerging. Bacillus Coagulans IBRC-M10791 as a novel strain was chosen, prevention and treatment impacts of regular administered were studied in Cuprizone-induced C57bl/6 mouse of demyelination. The mice were divided into six groups and received a daily dose of cuprizone or probiotics. To investigate the effect of probiotic, the IDO-1, CYP27B1, NLRP1, NLRP3, and AIM2 expression were estimated by Real-Time PCR, and IL-4, IL-17, IFN-gamma, and TGF-beta cytokines were measured by ELISA. The results showed that there was significant decrease in IL-17 and IFN-γ and modulatory effects on IL-4 and TGF-β. On the other hand, we demonstrated that there are significant decrease for expression of IDO-1, CYP27b1, NLRP1, NLRP3 and AIM2 genes in prevention and treatment groups compared to cuprizone group. Also, a significant enhancement in rate of remyelination and alternations proved by LFB staining and Y-Maze test. In conclusion, our study provides insight into how the therapeutic effect of the chosen strain of probiotic was correlated with the modulation of the level of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Further, we demonstrated that the expression of genes related to Tryptophan, Vitamin D and Inflammasome pathways could be affected by B.coagulans. Our study could be beneficial to provide a novel Co-therapeutic strategy for Multiple sclerosis.
Many immunomodulators have been studied in clinical trials for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, data identifying the most effective and safest treatment are lacking. We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to rank immunomodulators in the treatment of COVID-19 according to their efficacy and safety.

Published and peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of immunomodulators in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were searched up to June30, 2021. Direct and network meta-analyses were applied to assess the outcomes. The probability of efficacy and safety was estimated, and the drugs were awarded a numerical ranking.

Twenty-six studies were eligible. Compared with standard of care, dexamethasone and tocilizumab had significantly lower mortality rates with pooled risk ratios (RRs) of 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.84-0.99) and 0.88 (95%CI 0.82-0.96), respectively. Meanwhile, the most effective corticosteroid, interleukin-6 antagonrials should focus on JAK inhibitors. Methylprednisolone use should be discouraged because of its poor efficacy and high risk of superimposed infection. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO registration identifier CRD 42021257421.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has been anecdotally reported in association with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). The association likely portends poor renal outcome, and the possible relationship with complement overactivation has yet to be elucidated. We evaluated a series of IgAN patients with aHUS and reviewed the available literature.

Adult patients who received a diagnosis of IgAN and developed aHUS between January 2009 and December 2019 were includedin this retrospective review.

We identified six IgAN-aHUS patients, all of whom developed end-stage kidney disease. At aHUS presentation all patients had decreased serum C3 levels. Predisposing pathogenetic variants and risk haplotypes for aHUS in CFH gene heterozygosity were documented in four out of six patients. Anti-CFH antibodies were found to be negative in the five tested patients. In the literature we identified 21 case reports involving aHUS-IgAN and six retrospective studies evaluating the presence of TMA at the time of renal biopsy. HypertS-IgAN pathophysiology.
Cystogenesis in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is likely accelerated by various renal insults, including crystal deposition, that activate renal tubule obstruction and dilation. We developed a capsule-based device that can be applied to cystic kidneys to restrict tubular lumen dilatation and cyst expansion.

Kidney capsule devices were designed from computed tomography images of wild-type and Cy/+ rats. Capsule devices were surgically implanted on kidneys in six surgical sessions over a period of 14months in 7 wild-type rats of 6.5-8weeks (3 sham operations, 2 right, 2 left) and 6 Cy/+ rats of 6.5weeks (2 sham, 3 left, 1 bilateral). After surgery, the rats were followed for 5.4-12.4weeks' growth and sacrificed to retrieve the kidneys. During the follow-up, serum creatinine was measured and retrieved kidneys were weighed. Histological analysis including cystic area measurement and immunohistochemistry was performed.

Morphometric capsule devices were configured and developed by an image processing technique and produced using a 3D printer. Encapsulated Cy/+ kidneys (n = 5; mean weight 3.64g) were consistently smaller in size (by 21-36%; p < 0.001) than unencapsulated Cy/+ kidneys (n = 7; mean weight 5.52g). Encapsulated Cy/+ kidneys (mean %cyst area 29.4%) showed smaller histological cystic area (by 28-58%; p < 0.001) than unencapsulated Cy/+ kidneys (mean %cyst area 48.6%). Cell proliferation and macrophages were also markedly reduced in encapsulated Cy/+ kidneys, compared to unencapsulated Cy/+ kidneys.

We report a pilot feasibility study for the application of a novel morphometric 3D capsule device to the Cy/+ rat model showing restricted kidney volume expansion on polycystic kidney disease progression.

Development during the early stage of life i.e. in the first 1000 d is crucial in determining the psychosocial productivity of a child in the future. Frontline workers (FLWs) are not trained to detect of developmental delays (DDs) in children under the national programme of Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) in India.

To train the FLWs and assess the effectiveness of a training strategy in detection of DDs in children less than 6 y of age using a cluster-randomized trial approach.

A community-based interventional study was conducted in Khurdha district of Odisha. Training was imparted to FLWs in intervention arm using a training module developed in regional language. Knowledge level of FLWs was assessed before and after the training in both study arms using a structured questionnaire, and data were analyzed in IBM SPSS 22. Outcomes were compared using chi square, Student t (both paired and unpaired) and Man-Whitney U test. After 3 mo of intervention, the investigator examined a sample of children (intervention arm 870, control arm 847) for DDs using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II.

The mean difference in knowledge scores of FLWs was found to be 7.26 (8.8 to 5.7) and 1.11 (1.38 to 0.84) in intervention and control arm, respectively. Case detection rate by FLWs in intervention and control arm was 61.5% and 9.09%, respectively.

Capacity building of the FLWs should be considered by the government for integrating them in the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) programme for screening children.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasingly prevalent among contemporary populations referred for cardiac stress testing, but its potency as a predictor for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) vs other clinical variables is not well delineated.

From 19,658 patients who underwent SPECT-MPI, we identified 3122 patients with DM without known coronary artery disease (CAD) (DM+/CAD-) and 3564 without DM with known CAD (DM-/CAD+). Propensity score matching was used to control for the differences in characteristics between DM+/CAD- and DM-/CAD+ groups. There was comparable MACE in the matched DM+/CAD- and DM-/CAD+ groups (HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.97-1.37). By Chi-square analysis, type of stress (exercise or pharmacologic), total perfusion deficit (TPD), and left ventricular function were the most potent predictors of MACE, followed by CAD and DM status. The combined consideration of mode of stress, TPD, and DM provided synergistic stratification, an 8.87-fold (HR 8.87, 95% CI 7.27-10.82) increase in MACE among pharmacologically stressed patients with DM and TPD > 10% (vs non-ischemic, exercised stressed patients without DM).
