Five thematic groups were formed based on multiple factor analysis that summarizes three synthetic analytical dimensions to explain the total variance among the studied elements and the existing correlations between groups. Positive linear correlations were found between thermography and the temperature measurements, thermal comfort indices, and radiation, suggesting that infrared thermography can be used as a tool for estimating and monitoring the microclimate and thermal comfort, presenting a potential use of measurement in agroforestry systems.Coconut is a major plantation crop of coastal India. Accurate prediction of its yield is helpful for the farmers, industries and policymakers. Weather has profound impact on coconut fruit setting, and therefore, it greatly affects the yield. Annual coconut yield and monthly weather data for 2000-2015 were compiled for fourteen districts of the west coast of India. Weather indices were generated using monthly cumulative value for rainfall and monthly average value for other parameters like maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. Different linear models like stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR), principal component analysis together with SMLR (PCA-SMLR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and elastic net (ELNET) with nonlinear models namely artificial neural network (ANN) and PCA-ANN were employed to model the coconut yield using the monthly weather indices as inputs. The model's performance was evaluated using R2, root mean square error (RMSE) and absolute percentage error (APE). The R2 and RMSE of the models ranged between 0.45-0.99 and 18-3624 nuts ha-1 respectively during calibration while during validation the APE varied between 0.12 and 58.21. The overall average ranking of the models based these performance statistics were in the order of ELNET > LASSO > ANN > SMLR > PCA-SMLR > PCA-ANN. Results indicated that the ELNET model could be used for prediction of coconut yield for the region.BACKGROUND Serum chloride derangements are associated with poor clinical outcomes, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality. We sought to determine the association between persistent hyperchloremia and renal recovery in critically ill children with AKI. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients with day 2 AKI admitted to a large academic pediatric intensive care unit from January 2014 to December 2015. After applying exclusion criteria, 348 patients were categorized as (1) hyperchloremia on both day 2 and day 7 (PersistentCl), (2) hyperchloremia on day 2 with normochloremia on day 7 (RecoveredCl), (3) normochloremia on day 2 with hyperchloremia on day 7 (DelayedCl), and (4) no hyperchloremia on day 2 nor day 7 (NormalCl). Hyperchloremia was defined as ≥ 110 mEq/L. The primary outcome was renal recovery on day 7, defined as the absence of AKI criteria. Secondary outcomes included discharge renal recovery, mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, and hospital length of stay. RESULTS Day 7 renal recovery rates for PersistentCl, RecoveredCl, DelayedCl, and NormalCl were 37%, 66%, 71%, and 52% respectively. PersistentCl had lower odds of day 7 renal recovery (aOR = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.60; p = 0.0009), lower odds of discharge renal recovery (aOR = 0.22; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.48; p = 0.0001), and higher odds of mortality (aOR = 3.50; 95% CI, 1.11 to 11.10; p = 0.03) when compared with RecoveredCl after adjusting for confounders. CONCLUSIONS Persistent hyperchloremia is independently associated with impaired renal recovery as well as higher mortality. Prospective studies are indicated to determine if serum chloride represents a modifiable risk factor for poor outcomes. Graphical abstract.BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia might induce additional renal damage in children with hemolytic uremic syndrome related to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC-HUS). A few case reports have shown rasburicase to be effective in decreasing serum uric acid (UA) and improving renal function. However, there is only one report on the use of rasburicase in a child with STEC-HUS, which shows satisfactory results. We describe here the safety and efficacy of rasburicase in nine additional cases. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT Data from 9 children (5 females, median age 2 years) who received rasburicase were reviewed. At admission, 6 were dehydrated and 3 euvolemic. Dehydrated patients received saline solution and afterwards, as well as for those initially euvolemic, we aimed to keep a neutral fluid balance. Despite this, urine output did not increase. Baseline creatinine was 3.35 mg/dL (1.47-9.1) and UA 11.4 mg/dL (8.3-19.2). A single dose of rasburicase (0.2 mg/kg) was given 6-8 h after admission, which reduced UA levels to 1.8 mg/dL (0.3-5, p = 0.009) on the next day. However, renal parameters worsen and dialysis had to be initiated. Then, while still on dialysis, a UA rebound occurred in all cases reaching a peak of 8.9 mg/dL (4.5-13.8). Just after a steady increase in urine output, a sustained decline in UA levels concomitantly occurred with an improvement in renal function. At discharge, all patients reached normal UA levels. No side effects were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Administration of rasburicase in children with STEC-HUS was safe but failed to provide any significant benefit despite fall in serum UA levels.Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disease that results from a combination of skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. The immune dysregulation is often associated with IgE sensitivity. There is also evidence that autoallergens Hom s 1, 2, 3, and 4 play a role in AD; it is possible that patients with specific HLA subtypes are predisposed to autoreactivity due to increased presentation of autoallergen peptides. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gpna.html The goal of our study was to use in silico epitope prediction platforms as an approach to identify HLA subtypes that may preferentially bind autoallergen peptides and are thus candidates for further study. Considering the previously described association of DRB1 alleles with AD and progression of disease, emphasis was placed on DRB1. Certain DRB1 alleles (0804, 1101, and 1104) were identified by both algorithms to bind a significant percent of the generated autoallergen peptides. Conversely, autoallergen core peptide sequences FRQLSHRFH and IRAKLRLQA (Hom s 1), IRKSKNILF (Hom s 2), FKWVPVTDS and MAAIEKVRK (Hom s 3), and FRYFATLKV (Hom s 4) were predicted to bind many DRB1 alleles and, thus, may play a role in the pathogenesis of AD.
