    Abstract In this paper, efficient one-dimensional (1-D) fast integer transform algorithms of the DCT matrix for the H.265 stan-dard is proposed. Based on the symmetric property of the integer transform matrix and the matrix operations, which denote the row/column permutations and the matrix decompositions, along with using the dyadic symmetry modification on the standard matrix, the efficient fast 1-D integer transform algorithms are developed. Therefore, the computational complexities of the proposed fast integer transform are smaller than those of the direct method. In addition to computational complexity reduction one of the proposed algorithms provides transformation quality improvement, while the other provides more computational complexity reduction while maintaining almost the same transformation quality. With lower complexity and better transformation quality, the first proposed fast algorithm is suitable to accelerate the quality-demanding video coding computations. On the other hand, with the significant lower complexity, the second proposed fast algorithm is suitable to accelerate the video coding computations.

    Abstract Individual reports described lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) after COVID-19 vaccination; however, the relationship between cases is unexamined. We aim to determine if there are cases of cutaneous LPDs associated with COVID-19 vaccination and their outcomes. We present a review of world literature, vaccine registries, and two unreported cases of LPDs after COVID-19 vaccination. Review of the medical literature, VAERS, and our two cases reveal predominance of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, younger patients, and males. All cases resulted in favorable outcomes. Approximately 84% of cases demonstrated CD30+ positivity in their skin biopsies, suggesting that an antigenic trigger may lead to a type IV adaptive immune response, with clonal expansion of CD30+ T-cells and subsequent oncogenic mutational hits eventuating in transient LPDs. LPDs after COVID-19 vaccination appear in the context of the same vaccines (proportionally to their global market shares), share clinical and pathological findings, and have indolent, self-limited character.

    Abstract Mathematical filtration is an efficient tool to resolve the overlapping spectra of binary mixtures in zero or first order form. Herein, a comparative study was conducted between six economic, accurate and precise spectrophotometric methods for determination of Triclabendazole (TCB) and Levamisole HCl (LVM). Each component was resolved with minimum mathematical steps in its zero-order absorption spectrum by ratio subtraction, constant multiplication, and the recent factorized response method; coupled with spectrum subtraction. In addition, the mixture was resolved in its first derivative form by derivative subtraction, D

    Abstract Background: It has been interesting to compare the levels of antimicrobial resistance and the virulence characteristics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains of certain phylogenetic groups. The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency of phylogenetic groups, adhesin genes, antibiotic sensitivity patterns, and extended spectrum-lactamases (ESBLs) genes in hospital-acquired UPEC.
    Methods: After UPEC isolation, the disc diffusion method was used to assess its susceptibility to antibiotics. Combination disc testing confirmed the existence of ESBL producers. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect genes for adhesin and ESBLs.
    Results: One hundred and twenty-eight E. coli were isolated which had the highest resistance to tetracycline (96%) followed by cefoxitin (93%), cefepime (92%), ceftazidime (79%), aztreonam (77%) and sulfamethoxazole -trimethoprim (75%). About 57% of isolates were phenotypically ESBLs positive and they were confirmed by PCR. B2 phylogroup (41%) was the most frequent in E. coli isolates then group D (30%), group A (18%), and lastly group B1 (11%). ESBLs genes were more significantly prevalent in phylogroups B2 and D than other phylogroups (P < 0.001). Regarding adhesin genes, both fim H and afa were more significantly associated with group B2 than other groups (P < 0.009, < 0.032), respectively. In ESBL-positive isolates, both genes were more significantly detected compared to negative ones (P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Phylogroups B2 and D of UPEC are important reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance and adhesion genes. Detection of ESBL-producing E. coli is important for appropriate treatment as well as for effective infection control in hospitals.

    Abstract Organisms frequently suffer negative effects from large doses of ionizing radiation. However, radiation is not as hazardous at lower doses as was once believed. The current study aims to evaluate the possible radio-adaptive effect induced by low-dose radiation (LDR) in modulating high-dose radiation (HDR) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced lung injury in male albino rats. Sixty-four male rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group 1 (control): normal rats; Group 2 (D): rats given NDEA in drinking water; Group 3 (DR): rats administered with NDEA then exposed to fractionated HDR; and Group 4 (DRL): rats administered with NDEA then exposed to LDR + HDR. In the next stage, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione reduced (GSH), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the lung tissues were measured. Furthermore, the enzyme-linked immunoassay analysis technique was performed to assess the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4), and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) expression levels. Histopathological and DNA fragmentation analyses in lung tissue, in addition to hematological and apoptosis analyses of the blood samples, were also conducted. Results demonstrated a significant increase in antioxidant defense and a reduction in MDA levels were observed in LDR-treated animals compared to the D and DR groups. Additionally, exposure to LDR decreased TLR4, IRAK4, and MAPK levels, decreased apoptosis, and restored all the alterations in the histopathological, hematological parameters, and DNA fragmentation, indicating its protective effects on the lung when compared with untreated rats. Taken together, LDR shows protective action against the negative effects of subsequent HDR and NDEA. This impact may be attributable to the adaptive response induced by LDR, which decreases DNA damage in lung tissue and activates the antioxidative, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory systems in the affected animals, enabling them to withstand the following HDR exposure.

    Abstract Background: Sodium butyrate (SB) is a short-chain fatty acid and a safe antibiotic alternative. During 35 days, this study compared the impact of coated SB (Butirex C4) and lincomycin (Lincomix) on broiler growth, gut health, and litter hygiene in 1200 one-day-old Ross-308 broiler chicks that were randomly assigned into 5-dietary groups with 5-replications each. Groups divided as follows: T1: Basal diet (control), T2: Basal diet with buffered SB (1 kg/ton starter feed, 0.5 kg/ton grower-finisher feeds), T3: Basal diet with 100 g/ton lincomycin, T4: Basal diet with buffered SB (0.5 kg/ton starter feed, 0.25 kg/ton grower-finisher feeds) + 50 g/ton lincomycin, and T5: Basal diet with buffered SB (1 kg/ton starter feed, 0.5 kg/ton grower-finisher feeds) + 50 g/ton lincomycin. Birds were housed in a semi-closed deep litter house, where feed and water were available ad libitum. Results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests.
    Results: Combined dietary supplementation with SB and lincomycin (T4 and T5) significantly enhanced body weights, weight gains, feed conversion ratio, and profitability index. Also, carcasses in T4 and T5 exhibited the highest dressing, breast, thigh, and liver yields. T5 revealed the best blood biochemical indices, while T3 showed significantly elevated liver and kidney function indices. T4 and T5 exhibited the highest expression levels of IGF-1 and TLR4 genes, the greatest villi length of the intestinal mucosa, and the lowest levels of litter moisture and nitrogen. Clostridia perfringens type A alpha-toxin gene was confirmed in birds' caeca, with the lowest clostridial counts defined in T4.
    Conclusions: Replacing half the dose of lincomycin (50 g/ton) with 0.5 or 1 kg/ton coated SB as a dietary supplement mixture showed the most efficient privileges concerning birds' performance and health.
