Convalescent plasma (CP) is being used as a treatment option in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Till date, there is conflicting evidence on efficacy of CP in reducing COVID-19 related mortality. To evaluate the effect of CP on 28-day mortality reduction in patients with COVID-19. We did a multi-centre, retrospective case control observational study from 1st May 2020 to 31st August 2020. A total of 1079 adult patients with moderate and severe COVID-19 requiring oxygen, were reviewed. Of these, 694 patients were admitted to ICU. Out of these, 333 were given CP along with best supportive care and remaining 361 received best supportive care only. In the overall group of 1079 patients, mortality in plasma vs no plasma group was statistically not significant (22.4% vs 18.5%; p=0.125; OR=1.27, 95% CI 0.94--1.72). However, in patients with COVID-19 admitted to ICU, mortality was significantly lower in plasma group (25.5% vs 33.2%; p=0.026; OR=0.69, 95%CI 0.50-0.96). This benefit of reduced mortality was ventilation.The use of decellularized natural skin as an extracellular matrix (ECM) may be a great candidate to regenerate damaged tissues. In this study, decellularized scaffolds from fish skin were designed by different techniques (physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods) and investigated by analyses such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Tensile strength, Degradability, Histological studies, Toxicity test, and Determination of DNA content. Results showed that the best sample is related to the decellularized skin by hypertonic & hypotonic technique and Triton X100 solutions. Structural and mechanical results were demonstrated that samples have similar properties to human skin to regenerate it. The cytotoxicity results showed that decellularized skin by hypertonic & hypotonic method and Triton solution is non-toxic with minimal amount of genetic materials. Cellular results with epithelial cells indicated good adhesion on decellularized matrix, so it can be a suitable candidate for skin tissue regeneration. Both muscle fatigability and walking fatigability are prevalent in persons with MS (pwMS), but their associations remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the association of muscle strength and fatigability from both isometric and concentric protocols of three different muscle groups, and their association to walking capacity and walking fatigability. Twenty-seven pwMS and 13 Healthy Controls (HC) were included in this exploratory study. All participants performed a six-minute walking test (6MWT), where the distance walked index (DWI) was calculated to measure walking fatigability with a cut-off score of -10%. In three different muscle groups (knee extensors (KE), knee flexors (KF), ankle dorsiflexors (DF)), isometric and concentric muscle fatigability protocols (FI or FI ) were used to quantify maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and muscle fatigability. Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficients and linear regression models were calculated to establish the association between muscle stigability of KF and DF are associated with walking fatigability. Previous studies found that people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) perform well on pragmatic inference tests that require the use of the linguistic scale <some, all>. The present study extends previous research by testing two types of implicature scalar implicatures, based on lexical scales, and ad-hoc implicatures, based on contextual scales. We tested 26 children with ASD aged 4-10 years (mean age 7.1) and 26 typically developing (TD) children - matched on chronological age and with a similar performance in non-verbal IQ and vocabulary - by means of a picture selection task for scalar and ad-hoc implicatures. We also investigated the effect of children's scores in standardized tests measuring non-verbal intelligence, lexical, and morphosyntactic abilities and Theory-of-Mind skills on their performance in the implicature tasks. Although more than half of the children with ASD performed above chance on both kinds of implicatures, their performance as a group was significantly lower than the performance of their TD peers. General cognitive abilities were found to affect the performance of children with ASD on both kinds of implicatures, and Theory-of-Mind reasoning skills were found to be linked to their performance on scalar, but not ad-hoc implicatures. We show that children with ASD have difficulty with both kinds of implicatures. These findings may have implications for explanatory theories of pragmatics as well as for clinical work with children with ASD.

Among all the contaminants, heavy metals possess high toxicity and impact water quality. The stormwater management through green infrastructures composed by adequate materials can provide an excellent solution, simultaneously ensuring the appropriate hydraulic performance and contaminant removal rate. The proposed research aims at the elimination of heavy metals (i.e. Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) through column experiments by selecting four possible and novel treatments for urban stormwaters. Two lightweight aggregates (Arlita and Filtralite) were tested separately and in combination with CaCO3. The study determines the efficiency and lifetime of each treatment by varying the interaction time between the filter materials and contaminated water and the type of filter. The observed removal mechanisms were closely related to the changes in pH due to the interactions between water and different materials. The reductions in heavy metal concentrations depend on the type of heavy metal, interaction time and type of filter material. Results indicate that the combined use of CaCO3, Arlita and Filtralite did not improve the removal rates of heavy metals. However, it decreased the efficiency of the decontamination process. The significance of this study lies on the removal efficiency of Arlita and Filtralite as decontamination treatments. Both the tested lightweight aggregates led to a considerable decrease in the heavy metal concentrations in urban runoff stormwater although Filtralite was particularly efficient. After 4 weeks, the treatments were still successfully reducing and stabilising 99% of the heavy metals in the contaminated stormwater. These results confirm that the lifetime of the tested lightweight aggregates is adequate and emphasise, as a novel application of these materials, on their feasibility for the improvement of urban stormwater quality.
