Comparison of lateral tail vein and retro-orbital venous sinus as routes of inoculation to study Group B streptococcal systemic infection by Jéssica da Conceição Mendonça, Stephen Lumsdaine, Lindsey R. Burcham

“…In summary, these findings suggest that both tail vein injection and retro-orbital venous sinus injection are viable models to study Group B streptococcal systemic infection and result in largely similar disease outcomes within our tested parameters.IMPORTANCEStreptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of invasive disease in neonates and immunocompromised adults and is implicated in severe cases of sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. …”

Hepatitis B Virus in Polish Blood Donors in the Period 2005–2019—Significant Changes in Epidemiology and Demographic Characteristics of Infected Donors by Aneta Kopacz, Dorota Kubicka-Russel, Grzegorz Liszewski, Ewa Sulkowska, Anna Chrzanowska, Paulina Zwolińska, Ewa Noceń, Anna Potępa, Magdalena Łętowska, Piotr Grabarczyk, the Group of Polish Blood Transfusion Centers for Blood Borne Pathogens

“…In the 1980s, Poland was a medium-endemic country, with one of the highest incidences of hepatitis B in Europe (45/10⁵ inhabitants). Pursuant to the WHO guidelines, obligatory vaccination was introduced in 1994–1996 (as a part of hepatitis B prophylaxis for newborns), and in 2000–2011, all 14-year-olds were vaccinated. …”

Dual time scale network slicing algorithm based on D3QN for B5G multi-service scenarios by Geng CHEN, Shuhu QI, Fei SHEN, Qingtian ZENG

“…To effectively meet the differentiated quality of service (QoS) requirements of different slices, a dual time scale network slicing resource allocation algorithm based on dueling double DQN (D3QN) was proposed for B5G multi-service scenarios.The joint resource slicing and scheduling problem was formulated, with the weighted sum of the normalized spectral efficiency (SE) and the QoS of users indices of different slices as the optimization objective.On large time scale, the SDN controller used the D3QN algorithm to pre-allocate resources to different slices based on the resource requirements of each service, and then performed BS-level resource updating based on the load status of BS.On small time scale, the BS scheduled resources to end-users by using the round-robin scheduling algorithm.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance in ensuring the QoS requirements of slice users, SE and system utility.Compared with the other 4 baseline algorithms, the system utility is improved by 3.22%, 3.81%, 7.48% and 21.14%, respectively.…”
