Abstract
Recent epidemiological studies documented an alarming increase in the prevalence of echinocandin-resistant (ECR) Candida glabrata blood isolates. ECR isolates are known to arise from a minor subpopulation of a clonal population, termed echinocandin persisters. Although it is believed that isolates with a higher echinocandin persistence (ECP) are more likely to develop ECR, the implication of ECP needs to be better understood. Moreover, replacing laborious and time-consuming traditional approaches to determine ECP levels with rapid, convenient, and reliable tools is imperative to advance our understanding of this emerging concept in clinical practice. Herein, using extensive ex vivo and in vivo systemic infection models, we showed that high ECP isolates are less effectively cleared by micafungin treatment and exclusively give rise to ECR colonies. Additionally, we developed a flow cytometry-based tool that takes advantage of a SYTOX-based assay for the stratification of ECP levels. Once challenged with various collections of echinocandin-susceptible blood isolates, our assay reliably differentiated ECP levels in vitro and predicted ECP levels in real time under ex vivo and in vivo conditions when compared to traditional methods relying on colony-forming unit counting. Given the high and low ECP predictive values of 92.3% and 82.3%, respectively, our assay showed a high agreement with traditional approach. Collectively, our study supports the concept of ECP level determination in clinical settings and provides a robust tool scalable for high-throughput settings. Application of this tool facilitates the interrogation of mutant and drug libraries to further our understanding of persister biology and designing anti-persister therapeutics. IMPORTANCE Candida glabrata is a prevalent fungal pathogen able to replicate inside macrophages and rapidly develop resistance against frontline antifungal echinocandins. Multiple studies have shown that echinocandin resistance is fueled by the survival of a small subpopulation of susceptible cells surviving lethal concentrations of echinocandins. Importantly, bacterial pathogens that exhibit high antibiotic persistence also impose a high burden and generate more antibiotic-resistant colonies. Nonetheless, the implications of echinocandin persistence (ECP) among the clinical isolates of C. glabrata have not been defined. Additionally, ECP level determination relies on a laborious and time-consuming method, which is prone to high variation. By exploiting in vivo systemic infection and ex vivo models, we showed that C. glabrata isolates with a higher ECP are associated with a higher burden and more likely develop echinocandin resistance upon micafungin treatment. Additionally, we developed an assay that reliably determines ECP levels in real time. Therefore, our study identified C. glabrata isolates displaying high ECP levels as important entities and provided a reliable and convenient tool for measuring echinocandin persistence, which is extendable to other fungal and bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
During the prenatal period and the first postnatal years, the human brain undergoes rapid growth, which establishes a preliminary infrastructure for the subsequent development of cognition and behavior. To understand the underlying processes of brain functioning and identify potential sources of developmental disorders, it is essential to uncover the developmental rules that govern this critical period. In this study, graph theory modeling and network science analysis were employed to investigate the impact of age, gender, weight, and typical and atypical development on brain development. Local and global topologies of functional connectomes obtained from rs-fMRI data were collected from 421 neonates aged between 31 and 45 postmenstrual weeks who were in natural sleep without any sedation. The results showed that global efficiency, local efficiency, clustering coefficient, and small-worldness increased with age, while modularity and characteristic path length decreased with age. The normalized rich-club coefficient displayed a U-shaped pattern during development. The study also examined the global and local impacts of gender, weight, and group differences between typical and atypical cases. The findings presented some new insights into the maturation of functional brain networks and their relationship with cognitive development and neurodevelopmental disorders.

An investigation into the hammer toe effects on the lower extremity mechanics and plantar fascia tension: A case for a vicious cycle and progressive damage. Comput Biol Med 2023; 152:106381.

Abstract
Hammer toes are one of the common deformities of the forefoot that can lead to compensatory changes during walking in individuals with this condition. Predicting the adverse effects of tissue damage on the performance of other limbs is very important in the prevention of progressive damage. Finite element (FE) and musculoskeletal modeling can be helpful by allowing such effects to be studied in a way where the internal stresses in the tissue could be investigated. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effects of the hammer toe deformity on the lower extremity, especially on the plantar fascia functions. To compare the joint reactions of the hammer toe foot (HTF) and healthy foot (HF), two musculoskeletal models (MSM) of the feet of a healthy individual and that of a participant with hammer toe foot were developed based on gait analysis. A previously validated 3D finite element model which was constructed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the diabetic participant with the hammer toe deformity was processed at five different events during the stance phase of gait. It was found that the hammer toe deformity makes dorsiflexion of the toes and the windlass mechanism less effective during walking. Specifically, the FE analysis results showed that plantar fascia (PF) in HTF compared to HF played a less dominant role in load bearing with both medial and lateral parts of PF loaded. Also, the results indicated that the stored elastic energy in PF was less in HTF than the HF, which can indicate a higher metabolic cost during walking. Internal stress distribution shows that the majority of ground reaction forces are transmitted through the lateral metatarsals in hammer toe foot, and the probability of fifth metatarsal fracture and also progressive deformity was subsequently increased. The MSM results showed that the joint reaction forces and moments in the hammer toe foot have deviated from normal, where the metatarsophalangeal joint reactions in the hammer toe were less than the values in the healthy foot. This can indicate a vicious cycle of foot deformity, leading to changes in body weight force transmission line, and deviation of joint reactions and plantar fascia function from normal. These in turn lead to increased internal stress concentration, which in turn lead to further foot deformities. This vicious cycle cause progressive damage and can lead to an increase in the risk of ulceration in the diabetic foot.

Funding Acknowledgements
Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): This work was supported by an NIHR AI Award, AI_AWARD01706. This research was also funded in part, by the Wellcome Trust [Grant number 205188/Z/16/Z ].
Background
There has been a rapid increase in the number of Artificial Intelligence (AI) studies of cardiac MRI (CMR) segmentation. AI has huge potential to improve image analysis assessments. However, advancement and clinical translation in this field depend on researchers presenting their work in a transparent and reproducible manner.
Purpose
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the quality of reporting in AI studies involving CMR segmentation.
Methods
MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for AI CMR segmentation studies on 18/11/2021. The flow of study inclusion is shown in Figure 1. Any AI method to segment any cardiac structure on CMR was eligible for inclusion. Each study was assessed for compliance with the Checklist for Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (CLAIM).
Results
70 studies were included in the qualitative analysis. Studies were published between 2015 to 2021, with the majority (71%) published in 2020 and 2021. Most studies were performed in Europe (33%), China (27%) and the USA (26%). Short-axis sections were segmented in 70% of studies and most commonly included both ventricles (51%) or the left ventricle alone (30%). 20 different architecture implementations were represented. Figure 2 summarises the most relevant CLAIM domains to AI segmentation. The training sample eligibility criteria, demographics and clinical characteristics were not reported in 47% and 81% of studies, respectively. Ground truth annotations, source of the annotations and annotation tool were absent in 31%, 36% and 51% of studies respectively. Preprocessing steps and software libraries and packages used in training were not included in 27% and 24%. Details on the training approach including the number of models trained and method of selecting the final model were missing in 20% and 17% of the studies. Methods of validation or testing on external data, inter- and intra- rater variability and failure analysis were unreported in 57%, 63% and 74%, respectively.
Conclusion
This systematic review highlights important gaps in the AI literature of CMR studies. We identified key items missing in the dataset description, model development, validation and testing that limit the transparency, reproducibility and hence validity of published AI studies. This review may support closer adherence to established frameworks for reporting standards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
The internal forces and stresses in the tissue are important as they are linked to the risk of mechanical trauma and injuries. Despite their value, the internal stresses and forces cannot be directly measured in-vivo. A previously validated 3D finite element model (FEM) was constructed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of a person with diabetes and hammer toe deformity. The foot model simulated at five different instances during the stance phase of gait. The internal stress distribution on the talus that was obtained using the FEM simulation, was used to calculate the joint reaction force at the ankle joint. In addition, the musculoskeletal model (MSM) of the participant with hammer toe foot was developed based on the gait analysis and was used to determine the muscle forces and joint reactions. The result showed that the vertical reaction forces obtained from the FEM and MSM follow a similar trend through the stance phase of gait cycle and are significantly correlated ( R=0.99). The joint reaction forces obtained through the two methods do not differ for the first 25% of the gait cycle, while the maximum difference was ∼0.7 Body weight that was observed at 50% of the stance phase. Clinical Relevance: Finite element modeling and musculoskeletal simulation can shed light on the internal forces at the ankle in pathological conditions such as hammer toe. The similarities and differences observed in the joint reaction forces calculated from the two methods can have implications in assessing the effect of clinical interventions.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does re-vitrification affect on methylation level of H19/IGF2 DMR differentially methylated region(DMR) in human in vitro-produced blastocysts?
Summary answer
The results of this study showed that re-vitrification had no significant effect on the methylation level of H19 / IGF2 DMR region in human blastocysts.
What is known already
Nowadays, re-vitrification seems to be a successful and useful method to prevent the discarding of extra embryos. Several reports have indicated that the embryo manipulations during ART may result in epigenetic errors. This has been attributed to the concurrency of the ART manipulations and epigenetic events after fertilization. The effect of embryo re-vitrification on epigenetic changes has not been studied so far. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of embryo re-vitrification on methylation level of H19/IGF2 differentially methylated region (DMR) in donated human blastocysts.
Study design, size, duration
The effect of re-vitrification on methylation level of H19/IGF2 DMR was evaluated in 9 ICSI-derived human embryos individually and the expressions of H19 and IGF2 were assessed in 15 embryos individually. Embryos were donated from fertile couples referring for family balancing program. Donated embryos were cultured to blastocyst stage and high quality blastocyst (AA-AB) assigned to three groups: fresh, vitrified and re-vitrification. Scoring of blastocysts were according to Gardner et al. (2012) grading system.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Collected blastocysts were vitrified on Cryotech carriers, with the method described by Kuwayama. After warming of blastocysts and 4-5 hours culturing of them, expression of H19 and IGF2 genes in blastocysts evaluated with Real time PCR and methylation levels of H19/IGF2 DMR in blastocysts were analyzed by Bisulfite Sequencing PCR (BSP) technique. 10 clones were sequenced per replicate. Methylation status of lymphocyte was used as control to verify the credibility of our analysis system.
Main results and the role of chance
The results showed that the overall percentage of methylated CpGs of H19/IGF2 DMR in the control, vitrification, re-vitrification groups and lymphocyte were 42.71, 40.90, 39.23% and 49.30 %. respectively. There was no significant difference in methylation level of H19/IGF2 DMR between the groups. H19 and IGF2 expression did not show a significant difference in vitrified group compared to the control and in re-vitrified group compared to vitrified.
Limitations, reasons for caution
- Small number of samples examined due to difficult access to human blastocysts donated by fertile couples.
- Evaluation of high-quality embryos donated by healthy fertile couples while embryos of infertile couples may respond differently.
Wider implications of the findings
According to the obtained results, embryo re-vitrification did not have a significant change on the methylation level of H19/IGF2 DMR and expression of H19 and IGF2 genes. However, that further studies on the effect of re-vitrification on epigenetic errors in low-quality embryos and the embryos of infertile couples are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common adverse effect of some chemotherapy regimens. Lithium has been suggested for CIPN in some animal studies. We aimed to study lithium's preventive effect on CIPN in breast cancer patients treated with taxanes and platinum-based medications. METHOD A double-blind placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial (RCT) was implemented on 36 breast cancer patients in two equal-size groups by block randomization. Participants in both groups consumed daily tablets, either placebo or lithium (300 mg), for 5 days in each course of chemotherapy. The tablets were prescribed 1 day before the start of chemotherapy. The electromyography (EMG) and nerve-conduction-velocity (NCV) tests were achieved before the first chemotherapy, 3 and 9 months after the treatment. The changes and signs or symptoms of CIPN, such as numbness, tingling, freezing, sensitivity to touch, muscle weakness, fibrillation, and knee and elbow reflex disorders, were recorded by examination. The trend of outcome changes was compared between two groups during the 9 months of study. RESULTS In both groups, neurologic signs and symptoms were exacerbated during the first 3 months and improved up to the ninth month of study. Results showed significant changes of all EMG-NCV variables during the 9 months of research in each group (P < 0.001), but the interaction of time and group effect was not significant in none of those indices. All symptoms changed significantly over the study time (P < 0.001) without significant statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.352). No side effect was found during the study. CONCLUSION The study showed that 300 mg lithium prescription once daily for 5 days might not effectively prevent CIPN in breast cancer patients. Evaluation of lithium effect on CIPN on different cancers in future studies is suggested. TRIAL REGISTRATION Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20160813029327N10 .

Abstract
Nowadays, a massive number of people are involved in various social media. This fact enables organizations and institutions to more easily access their audiences across the globe. Some of them use social bots as an automatic entity to gain intangible access and influence on their users by faster content propagation. Thereby, malicious social bots are populating more and more to fool humans with their unrealistic behavior and content. Hence, that's necessary to distinguish these fake social accounts from real ones. Multiple approaches have been investigated in the literature to answer this problem. Statistical machine learning methods are one of them focusing on handcrafted features to represent characteristics of social bots. Although they reached successful results in some cases, they relied on the bot's behavior and failed in the behavioral change patterns of bots. On the other hands, more advanced deep neural network-based methods aim to overcome this limitation. Generative adversarial network (GAN) as new technology from this domain is a semi-supervised method that demonstrates to extract the behavioral pattern of the data. In this work, we use GAN to leak more information of bot samples for state-of-the-art textual bot detection method (Contextual LSTM). Although GAN augments low labeled data, original textual GAN (Sequence Generative Adversarial Net (SeqGAN)) has the known limitation of convergence. In this paper, we invested this limitation and customized the GAN idea in a new framework called GANBOT, in which the generator and classifier connect by an LSTM layer as a shared channel between them. Our experimental results on a bench-marked dataset of Twitter social bot show our proposed framework outperforms the existing contextual LSTM method by increasing bot detection probabilities.

Abstract
In the last couple of years, a number of new and rapid tests for the diagnosis of Tuberculosis (TB) have been developed based on the low molecular weight antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) culture supernatant. This study aimed to isolate and purify low molecular weight antigens secreted by Mtb strain C for diagnostic purpose. The secretory proteins from culture filtrate of Mtb were extracted using ammonium sulphate precipitations and sephadex-G50 gel chromatography. The obtained antigen fractions were analyzed for their protein concentrations and approximate molecular weight using Lowry method and SDS-PAGE (12.5%), respectively. DOT-ELISA and Western blot assay was performed to confirm the presence of purified low molecular weight proteins isolated from Mtb using sera from pulmonary tuberculosis patients (polyclonal antibodies). During chromatography, low molecular weight proteins were separated, that was approximately 0.7 mg/ml of the total proteins (1.662 mg/ml). The purified protein fractions in molecular weight range of 14 kDa-41kDa appeared during SDS-PAGE analysis. The chromatographic band fraction in the weight range of 30-41 kDa was identified in the TB patients&rsquo; sera using Western blotting. The low molecular weight proteins in the culture filtrate of Mtb strain C were purified using ammonium sulphate and chromatography. These fractions were confirmed using Western blotting. The obtained results might support the hypothesis that the Mtb culture filtrate antigens could be used as a rapid and sensitive assay for the detection of patients with pulmonary TB.

Abstract
Over the past decade, Finite Element (FE) modelling has been used as a method to understand the internal stresses within the diabetic foot. Foot deformities such as hammer toe have been associated with increased risk of foot ulcers in diabetic patients. Hence the aim of this study is to investigate the influence of hammer toe deformity on internal stresses during walking. A 3D finite element model of the human foot was constructed based on capturing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of a diabetic neuropathic volunteer exhibiting hammer toe. 3D gait measurements and a multi-body musculoskeletal model for the same participant were used to define muscle forces. FE simulations were run at five different instances during the stance phase of gait. Peak plantar pressure and pressure distribution results calculated from the model showed a good agreement with the experimental measurement having less than 11% errors. Maximum von Mises internal stresses in the forefoot hard tissue were observed at the 3rd and 5th metatarsals and 4th proximal phalanx. Moreover, presence of hammer toe deformity was found to shift the location of maximum internal stresses on the soft tissue to the forefoot by changing the location of centre of pressure with internal stress 1.64 times greater than plantar pressure. Hammer toe deformity also showed to reduce the involvement of the first phalanx in internal/external load-bearing during walking. The findings of this study support the association between changes in loading pattern, deformity, and internal stresses in the soft tissue that lead to foot ulceration.

Abstract
The diffusion process in networks is studied with the objective of identifying the dynamics and for predicting the behavior of network entities. Social media plays an important role in people's lives. Diffusion processes, as one of the most important branches of social media analysis, have their presence in various domains such as information spreading, diffusion of innovation, idea dissemination, and product acceptance to identify user's pattern and their behavior in social media networks. Users are not limited to one social network and are engaged in multiple social media such as Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, and Facebook. This fact has created new phenomena in social network analysis, called multiplex network analysis. Thus, the scope of diffusion process analysis has been transferred from single layer networks to multiplex networks. Diffusion process analysis can be studied at both infrastructure-level and diffusion-level; at infrastructure-level, the structural network's properties such as clustering coefficient and degree centrality are being studied; and in diffusion-level the diffusion network's properties such as diffusion depth and seed nodes are being studied. On the other hand, a reliable analysis requires complete information on both infrastructure and diffusion networks. However, complete data is not accessible forever, this fact is due to some limitations such as crawling big data, gathering social media policies, and user privacy. Incomplete data can lead to poor analysis, so in this work we, first of all, investigate the impact of missing data in both infrastructure and diffusion networks, the impact of random and non-random missing infrastructure data on nine diffusion network's properties such as number of infected nodes, number of infected edges, diffusion length and number of seed nodes. Secondly, based on the multiplex diffusion tree, we introduce a new model named as MLC-tree for an incomplete diffusion network. Finally, we evaluate our model on both synthetic and real social networks; these results show that the MLC-tree can decrease the relative error more than 50 percent while missing 20 to 80 percent of complete data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart transplantation is an established treatment for end-stage heart failure patients, but its cost-effectiveness is under question. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the cost of heart transplantation in Iran as a developing country in Asia to contribute to future planning in the region. METHODS This study was conducted in two phases. First, in a retrospective multicenter study, hospital data of heart transplant and hospitalization of three active heart transplant centers in Tehran, Iran, were reviewed from April 2013 to May 2015. Then pre-transplantation, transplantation, and one-year posttransplant costs were calculated according to the ABC (activity-based costing) method in 2016. RESULTS Data were obtained for 120 patients, among which 95 (79.17%) were males with a mean (SD) age of 35.31±13.41 years. Mean (SD) hospital and ICU length of stay were 17.85±14.91 and 9.74±8.94 days, respectively. A significant correlation existed between the mean of hospital and ICU length of stay (P<0.001, r: 0.754). The mean heart transplant and hospitalization cost was 3445.47±1243.29 USD from 2013 to 2015. Using the activity-based costing method, the cost of pre-transplantation, transplantation, and one-year -post-transplantation were extracted 6.5%, 73.5%, and 20%, respectively, with a total cost of 26232 USD. CONCLUSION Compared to other countries, the cost of heart transplantation in Iran is very low. Numerous reasons lead to this difference. Firstly, a heart transplantation surgery is performed in university-based hospitals and is supported by the government. On the other hand, a significant difference exists between personnel costs in Iran compared to other countries.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is still unknown, but it is accepted that various inflammatory factors are responsible for the different CRS subtypes. Vitamin D3 has been shown to alter inflammatory mediators in some diseases and its deficiency might also be associated with CRS with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Herein, we investigated serum vitamin D3 levels in patients with CRSwNP and its association with disease severity. In a cross-sectional study, 166 cases with CRSwNP and 172 healthy subjects were enrolled. Serum vitamin D3 levels were measured and compared in both groups. Furthermore, the relationship between serum vitamin-D3 level and the patient’s allergic status and severity of disease (clinically and based on computed tomographic imaging and nasal endoscopy) among patients with CRSwNP was assessed. Serum vitamin D3 level in the CRSwNP group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.0001). After controlling for possible confounding factors, an increase in vitamin D level showed a protective effect in CRSwNP (OR = 0.69 95% CI:0.62-0.76). A negative correlation was found between serum vitamin-D3 level and the Lund-Mackay score (LMS) (P < 0.0001, R = – 0.66), the Lund-Kennedy score (LKS) (P < 0.0001, R = – 0.71) and the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (P < 0.001, R = – 0.49). Serum vitamin D level in the CRSwNP group was significantly lower than the control group. Disease severity, based on imaging, endoscopic and clinical criteria, was inversely associated with serum vitamin D levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Candida parapsilosis species complex, an important set of non-albicans Candida species, is known to cause candidaemia particularly in neonates and infants. However, the incidence has increased in recent years, owing to higher numbers of at individuals at risk for these infections. Our objective was to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis complex isolates from Iran to seven antifungal drugs. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred-one clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis species complex cultured from humans were included. Species identification had been previously confirmed by combined phenotypic characteristics, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry-based assay and reconfirmed by DNA sequence analysis of the ITS rDNA region and D1/D2 gene. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, micafungin and anidulafungin were determined against well-characterized isolates by broth microdilution susceptibility testing according to the CLSI M27-A3 guideline. RESULTS Species identifications were performed on 101 isolates, of which 88 (87.2%) C. parapsilosis sensu stricto and 13 (12.8%) C. orthopsilosis. Amphotericin B and posaconazole were the most active drugs with 100% of isolates being wild-type (WT). Voriconazole and micafungin, 99% of isolates were WT. The low activity was recorded for fluconazole and itraconazole with 93.1% and 89.1% of isolates being WT, respectively. At the species level, all Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto isolates were WT to amphotericin B and posaconazole and all Candida orthopsilosis isolates were WT to amphotericin B, voriconazole, posaconazole, anidulafungin and micafungin. In contrast, the highest rate of non-WT was observed in C. orthopsilosis to itraconazole (4 of 13, 30.8%). CONCLUSIONS Although almost all of the tested drugs demonstrated potent activity against C. parapsilosis species complex, it seems that more especially C. orthopsilosis isolates had decreased susceptibility to itraconazole. Further studies are needed to determine how these findings may switch into in vivo efficacy.

Abstract
In the present study, two-step foaming procedure with a designed in-situ foaming observation apparatus was used to study the foaming dynamics of styrene-methyl methacrylate (St-MMA) copolymer/nanosilica composites. For this purpose, the St-MMA copolymer was synthesized using suspension copolymerization and its nanocomposites were prepared using solution method. The foaming dynamics was studied through temperature-induced (two-step batch foaming) method. Furthermore, the effects of content, size and surface chemistry of silica nanoparticles on the impregnation process, the foaming dynamics and the final morphology of prepared foams were investigated. The impregnation data showed that the presence of silica nanoparticles in matrix prolonged the impregnation and decreased diffusion coefficient. This effect would be clearer where nanoparticle contents are high and the temperature is quite above Tg. The foaming dynamics results illustrated that the nucleation and foaming rate were enhanced with the nanoparticle addition and its size reduction. At the St-MMA copolymer foaming system, the silica nanoparticles with hydrophilic surface chemistry are more efficient in comparison to hydrophobic nanoparticles where all foaming dynamics and the final microstructure parameters were improved.

Abstract
Two species of microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris and Dunaliella tertiolecta) as the biological agents along with ZnO nanoparticles as the photocatalyst were used to investigate the hydrocarbon removal efficiency from oily water samples. Firstly, the toxicities of the photocatalyst, normal paraffine hydrocarbons and their combination towards the microalgae were evaluated in terms of cell growth and chlorophyll content. The capability of algae to absorb the nanoparticles in the aqueous phase was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Then, the hydrocarbon removal efficiencies of the algae, photocatalyst and the combined photocatalyst-algae system were studied by measuring the residual hydrocarbon content of the samples. Results indicated that despite of the growth inhibitory effects of n-alkanes and nanoparticles on the examined algae, both of them could survive in the system. Dunaliella tertiolecta was more affected by normal paraffins while Chlorella vulgaris was more sensitive to ZnO nanoparticles. Both of the studied species were capable of hydrocarbon removal and the efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris was superior. The combination of algae and nanoparticles was also proved to have a synergistic effect on degradation of the hydrocarbon content of the medium. The obtained removal efficiencies for initial hydrocarbon concentrations of 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.5% (v/v) were 100%, 78% and 42% for Dunaliella tertiolecta-ZnO and 100%, 93% and 88% for Chlorella vulgaris- ZnO system, respectively. It can be concluded that the examined microalgae-nanoparticle system can be considered as a final polishing step in hydrocarbons removal from oily waters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Candida parapsilosis is one of the main emerging non-Candida albicans species leading to superficial and systemic fungal infections in humans. Candida has the ability to produce biofilms associated with pathogenesis. The aim of the study was to estimate biofilm-producing ability of clinical isolates of C. parapsilosis sp. complex. METHODS Clinical samples of C. parapsilosis complex have been analyzed. Crystal violet (CV) staining and tetrazolium reduction assay (MTT) have been used to analyze the clinical isolates ability to produce biofilms. The biofilm's structural characteristics have been assessed by using scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS All 65 isolates were able to form biofilm. In addition, no significant difference was found between biofilm quantification based on two assays at different time intervals (24h, 48h, 72h, 96h) (P>0.05), with the exception of Candida orthopsilosis, which exhibited higher metabolic activity at 24h time point (P<0.05). Moreover, metabolic activity and production of biofilm biomass demonstrated statistically significant correlation (r=0.685, P<0.01). According to microscopic observations, the investigated clinical strains formed the similar surface topography with the slight differences in morphology; in addition, there was no statistically significant difference between efficiency of two assays to quantify biofilm. CONCLUSION It was shown that, similar to C. parapsilosissensu stricto, two cryptic identified species (C. orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis) obtained from different clinical samples, were biofilm producers, while C. parapsilosissensu stricto exhibited the highest biofilm production.

Abstract
We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of Ξ_{c}^{0} decays into Ξ^{-}π^{+}, ΛK^{-}π^{+}, and pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+} final states. The measurements are made using a dataset comprising (772±11)×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider. We first measure the absolute branching fraction for B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0} using a missing-mass technique; the result is B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})=(9.51±2.10±0.88)×10^{-4}. We subsequently measure the product branching fractions B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}), B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→ΛK^{-}π^{+}), and B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+}) with improved precision. Dividing these product branching fractions by the result for B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0} yields the following branching fractions: B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+})=(1.80±0.50±0.14)%, B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→ΛK^{-}π^{+})=(1.17±0.37±0.09)%, and B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+})=(0.58±0.23±0.05)%. For the above branching fractions, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Our result for B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}) can be combined with Ξ_{c}^{0} branching fractions measured relative to Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} to yield other absolute Ξ_{c}^{0} branching fractions.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons transverse to the production plane in e^{+}e^{-} annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing fragmentation function. For inclusive Λ/Λ[over ¯] production, we also report results with subtracted feed-down contributions from Σ^{0} and charm. This measurement uses a dataset of 800.4 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. We observe a significant polarization that rises with the fractional energy carried by the Λ/Λ[over ¯] hyperon.

Abstract
We report on the first Belle search for a light CP-odd Higgs boson, A^{0}, that decays into low mass dark matter, χ, in final states with a single photon and missing energy. We search for events produced via the dipion transition ϒ(2S)→ϒ(1S)π^{+}π^{-}, followed by the on-shell process ϒ(1S)→γA^{0} with A^{0}→χχ, or by the off-shell process ϒ(1S)→γχχ. Utilizing a data sample of 157.3×10^{6} ϒ(2S) decays, we find no evidence for a signal. We set limits on the branching fractions of such processes in the mass ranges M_{A^{0}}<8.97 GeV/c^{2} and M_{χ}<4.44 GeV/c^{2}. We then use the limits on the off-shell process to set competitive limits on WIMP-nucleon scattering in the WIMP mass range below 5 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We present first evidence that the cosine of the CP-violating weak phase 2β is positive, and hence exclude trigonometric multifold solutions of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) Unitarity Triangle using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} with D→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} decays, where h^{0}∈{π^{0},η,ω} denotes a light unflavored and neutral hadron. The measurement is performed combining the final data sets of the BABAR and Belle experiments collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. The data samples contain (471±3)×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs recorded by the BABAR detector and (772±11)×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs recorded by the Belle detector. The results of the measurement are sin2β=0.80±0.14(stat)±0.06(syst)±0.03(model) and cos2β=0.91±0.22(stat)±0.09(syst)±0.07(model). The result for the direct measurement of the angle β of the CKM Unitarity Triangle is β=[22.5±4.4(stat)±1.2(syst)±0.6(model)]°. The measurement assumes no direct CP violation in B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} decays. The quoted model uncertainties are due to the composition of the D^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} decay amplitude model, which is newly established by performing a Dalitz plot amplitude analysis using a high-statistics e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data sample. CP violation is observed in B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} decays at the level of 5.1 standard deviations. The significance for cos2β>0 is 3.7 standard deviations. The trigonometric multifold solution π/2-β=(68.1±0.7)° is excluded at the level of 7.3 standard deviations. The measurement resolves an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle.

Abstract
We report the observation of ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S) decay based on an analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collisions at the ϒ(2S) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We measure a branching fraction of B[ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S)]=(6.1_{-0.7-0.6}^{+0.6+0.9})×10^{-4} and derive an η_{b}(1S) mass of 9394.8_{-3.1-2.7}^{+2.7+4.5} MeV/c^{2}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The significance of our measurement is greater than 7 standard deviations, constituting the first observation of this decay mode.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the hadronic transition ϒ(4S)→η^{'}ϒ(1S), using 496 fb^{-1} data collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We reconstruct the η^{'} meson through its decays to ρ^{0}γ and to π^{+}π^{-}η, with η→γγ. We measure B(ϒ(4S)→η^{'}ϒ(1S))=[3.43±0.88(stat)±0.21(syst)]×10^{-5}, with a significance of 5.7σ.

Abstract
Little is known about the toxin profiles, toxinotypes and variations of toxin Clostridioides difficile C (tcdC) in Iranian C. difficile isolates. A total of 818 stool specimens were obtained from outpatients (n = 45) and hospitalized patients (n = 773) in Tehran, Iran, from 2011 to 2017. The 44 C. difficile isolates were subjected to PCR of toxin C. difficile A (tcdA), toxin C. difficile B (tcdB), tcdA 3′-end deletion, toxinotyping and sequencing of the tcdC gene. Thirty-eight isolates (86.36%) were identified as tcdA and tcdB positive, and the remaining six isolates (13.63%) were nontoxigenic. All tcdA- and tcdB-positive isolates yielded an amplicon of 2535 bp by PCR for the tcdA 3′ end. Fourteen (36.84%), seventeen (44.73%) and seven (18.43%) isolates belonged to wild-type, toxin C. difficile C subclone3 (tcdC-sc3) and tcdC-A genotype of tcdC, respectively. Thirty-one isolates (81.57%) belonged to toxinotype 0, and seven isolates (18.42%) were classified as toxinotype V. This study provides evidence for the circulation of historical and hypervirulent isolates in the healthcare and community settings. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that the tcdC-A genotype and toxinotype V are not uncommon among Iranian C. difficile isolates.

Abstract
We report the results of a search for the rare, purely leptonic decay B^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} performed with a 711 fb^{-1} data sample that contains 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs, collected near the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The signal events are selected based on the presence of a high momentum muon and the topology of the rest of the event showing properties of a generic B-meson decay, as well as the missing energy and momentum being consistent with the hypothesis of a neutrino from the signal decay. We find a 2.4 standard deviation excess above background including systematic uncertainties, which corresponds to a branching fraction of B(B^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ})=(6.46±2.22±1.60)×10^{-7} or a frequentist 90% confidence level interval on the B^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} branching fraction of [2.9,10.7]×10^{-7}.

Abstract
Diffusion of information in complex networks largely depends on the network structure. Recent studies have mainly addressed information diffusion in homogeneous networks where there is only a single type of nodes and edges. However, some real-world networks consist of heterogeneous types of nodes and edges. In this manuscript, we model information diffusion in heterogeneous information networks, and use interactions of different meta-paths to predict the diffusion process. A meta-path is a path between nodes across different layers of a heterogeneous network. As its most important feature the proposed method is capable of determining the influence of all meta-paths on the diffusion process. A conditional probability is used assuming interdependent relations between the nodes to calculate the activation probability of each node. As independent cascade models, we consider linear threshold and independent cascade models. Applying the proposed method on two real heterogeneous networks reveals its effectiveness and superior performance over state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
Obesity is a global public health problem and attempts to treat this condition using life style with and without pharmacological interventions have not been successful in majority of obese individuals. To date, the most effective treatment for obesity is weight loss surgery. One of the most widely used procedures to treat obesity worldwide, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB), has shown to induce diabetes remission in addition to significant and sustainable weight loss. As the number of this procedure performed over the last two decades increased, it has become clear that a subgroup of individuals develop postprandial hypoglycemia several years after surgery. This debilitating late complication of RYGB is often associated with loss of consciousness or seizures, and in severe cases, it is only partially responsive to diet modification or other available therapeutic options. The diagnosis is often a challenge resulting in delays in receiving care in the affected individuals. Although the underlying mechanisms are under current investigations, growing evidence suggest that a combination of exaggerated meal-derived nutrient appearance to systemic circulation and altered islet and gut hormone response after eating have a role in pathogenesis of this condition. The goal of this review is to highlight new perspectives regarding this life-threatening complication of RYGB. The etiology, diagnosis, recommendation on how to distinguish from classic dumping and current available treatment based on literature review will be discussed. In addition, physiologic changes after gastric bypass predisposing to hypoglycemia syndrome will be highlighted.International Journal of Obesity advance online publication, 31 October 2017; doi:10.1038/ijo.2017.257.

Abstract
Background As a well-known theory in studying the effective factors on behaviour, the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) is frequently used in evaluating the health behaviour of people and healthcare providers, but rarely applied in studying the behaviour of health policymakers. The aim of the present study is to design and validate a TPB-based measurement tool for evidence utilisation in health policymaking (the EUPMT) through a mixed approach using confirmatory factor analysis. Methods The study population consisted of all the specialised units and their employees in the five deputies of Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education in 2013. All those eligible were invited to participate in the study, which comprised 373 persons. The reliability of the EUPMT was determined through test-retest and internal consistency. Additionally, its validity was determined by face, content, convergent, discriminant and construct validities. SPSS-20 and LISREL-8.8 were employed to analyse the data. To assess the fitness of the measurement models, three groups of indices were used, i.e. absolute, relative and parsimonious. Results The content and face validities of the tool were 83% and 67%, respectively. Cronbach’s alpha of different constructs ranged from 0.7 to 0.9. In the test-retest method, the intra-class correlations were between 0.75 and 0.87. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the penta-factorial structure of the experimental data had acceptable fitness with the TPB (GFI = 0.86, NFI = 0.94, RSMEA = 0.075). Conclusion TPB is able to explain the behaviour of evidence utilisation in health policymaking. The finalised TPB-based tool has relatively good reliability and validity to assess evidence utilisation in health policymaking. The EUPMT can be applied to determine the status quo of evidence utilisation in health policymaking, whilst designing interventions for its improvement and assessing their outcomes.

Abstract
The shortest path problem is one of the most fundamental networks optimization problems. Nowadays, individuals interact in extraordinarily numerous ways through their offline and online life (e.g., co-authorship, co-workership, or retweet relation in Twitter). These interactions have two key features. First, they have a heterogeneous nature, and second, they have different strengths that are weighted based on their degree of intimacy, trustworthiness, service exchange or influence among individuals. These networks are known as multiplex networks. To our knowledge, none of the previous shortest path definitions on social interactions have properly reflected these features. In this work, we introduce a new distance measure in multiplex networks based on the concept of Pareto efficiency taking both heterogeneity and weighted nature of relations into account. We then model the problem of finding the whole set of paths as a form of multiple objective decision making and propose an exact algorithm for that. The method is evaluated on five real-world datasets to test the impact of considering weights and multiplexity in the resulting shortest paths. As an application to find the most influential nodes, we redefine the concept of betweenness centrality based on the proposed shortest paths and evaluate it on a real-world dataset from two-layer trade relation among countries between years 2000 and 2015.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) on fertilization rate, and sperm nuclear decondensation after intracytoplasmic injection of sperm (ICSI) into cumulus-free germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes from stimulated cycles. Methods and study design After the retrieval of oocytes, the GV oocytes were cultured for 24 h. Oocytes that liberated polar bodies were injected with processed semen, and were used to evaluate SDF level. Based on SDF, the data were categorized into two groups. Group I in which SDF≤ 30% and group II in which SDF > 30%. Fertilization (presence of two pronuclei) was checked 16-19 h after ICSI. Unfertilized oocytes were stained by Hoechst 33258 and examined to evaluate the undecondensed sperm head in oocyte. The rates of maturation, fertilization in fertilized IVM oocytes and the percentage of undecondensed sperm in the unfertilized oocytes were assessed according to SDF. Results Out of 146 GV oocytes that were subjected to IVM, 101 (69 %) developed to metaphase II. The fertilization rate of IVM oocytes in group II was significantly lower than that in group I (P < 0.05). Moreover, group I, had 25 % of their unfertilized oocytes containing condensed sperm, while group II had a significantly higher number (53 %) of unfertilized oocytes containing condensed sperm (P < 0.05). Conclusion SDF had a negative effect on the rate of fertilization in matured in vitro GV oocytes and could lead to an increase in the percentage of undecondensed sperm in IVM oocytes from stimulated cycles.
