ANALYSIS OF GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF INFLUENZA VIRUS A/CHICKEN/CHELYABINSK/30/2019 H9N2 ISOLATED IN CHELYABINSK OBLAST by N. G. Zinyakov, Щю S. Osipova, P. B. Akshalova, V. Yu. Sosipatorova, A. V. Andriyasov, D. B. Andreychuk, I. A. Chvala

“…Amino acid substitutions were detected at the site within the receptor-binding domain as compared to the A/H9N2 infl uenza virus isolates obtained in Russia in 2018. The primary structure of the A/chicken/Chelyabinsk/30/2019 H9N2 isolate demonstrates a very high level of genetic similarity to the infl uenza virus isolate A/chicken/ Israel/215/2007 H9N2 used as a vaccine strain.…”

Protocol for the development of a reporting guideline for causal and counterfactual prediction models in biomedicine by Yi Guo, Hua Xu, Fei Wang, Jie Xu, Jiang Bian, Robert Lucero, Mattia Prosperi

“…Introduction While there are guidelines for reporting on observational studies (eg, Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology, Reporting of Studies Conducted Using Observational Routinely Collected Health Data Statement), estimation of causal effects from both observational data and randomised experiments (eg, A Guideline for Reporting Mediation Analyses of Randomised Trials and Observational Studies, Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, PATH) and on prediction modelling (eg, Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis), none is purposely made for deriving and validating models from observational data to predict counterfactuals for individuals on one or more possible interventions, on the basis of given (or inferred) causal structures. This paper describes methods and processes that will be used to develop a Reporting Guideline for Causal and Counterfactual Prediction Models (PRECOG).Methods and analysis PRECOG will be developed following published guidance from the Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research (EQUATOR) network and will comprise five stages. …”

Effectiveness of Voytik-Harbin Protocol in Fabrication of Ram’s Testicular-Derived Hydrogel and Its Impact on Mouse In Vitro Spermatogenesis by Leila Rashki Ghaleno, Tohid Rezaei Topraggaleh, Leila Montazeri, Abdolhossein Shahverdi, Mojtaba Rezazadeh Valojerdi

“…Furthermore, the prepared hydrogel byVH with 25 mg of dECM had a significantly higher priority in terms of rheology and structure (P<0.05). Followingmouse testicular cell culture, TDH and collagen hydrogel did not differ significantly in terms of cell survival ratesand the mRNA expression of early spermatogenesis genes.Conclusion: Using the VH protocol for producing ram TDH resulted in a firm hydrogel with a high frequency ofrepeat, which may be suited for testicular cell growth.…”

Les changements hydromorphologiques de l’estuaire de la Loire et l’évolution du port de Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) by Rémy Arthuis

“…At that time, the marine influences which were dominating the Loire valley in Nantes, then a veritable ria, retreated after a slowing down of the sea level rise and gave way to a conquering river which incised the arms of Pirmil and the Madeleine. The Loire area structured in this way emerged subsequently. On the other hand, the active strip of these two arms was much more mobile and many islands appeared there, notably at the end of the hydrological crises linked to the climatic deterioration during the Early Iron Age and the beginning of the Late Iron Age. …”
