    Abstract In brain-computer interface (BCI) work, how correctly identifying various features and their corresponding actions from complex Electroencephalography (EEG) signals is a challenging technology. However, most current methods do not consider EEG feature information in spatial, temporal and spectral domains, and the structure of these models cannot effectively extract discriminative features, resulting in limited classification performance. To address this issue, we propose a novel text motor-imagery EEG discrimination method, namely wavelet-based temporal-spectral-attention correlation coefficient (WTS-CC), to simultaneously consider the features and their weighting in spatial, EEG-channel, temporal and spectral domains in this study. The initial Temporal Feature Extraction (iTFE) module extracts the initial important temporal features of MI EEG signals. The Deep EEG-Channel-attention (DEC) module is then proposed to automatically adjust the weight of each EEG channel according to its importance, thereby effectively enhancing more important EEG channels and suppressing less important EEG channels. Next, the Wavelet-based Temporal-Spectral-attention (WTS) module is proposed to obtain more significant discriminative features between different MI tasks by weighting features on two-dimensional time-frequency maps. Finally, a simple discrimination module is used for MI EEG discrimination. The experimental results indicate that the proposed text WTS-CC method can achieve promising discrimination performance that outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of classification accuracy, Kappa coefficient, F1 score, and AUC on three public datasets.

    Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence in adults at a younger age has increased but the disease status may go unnoticed. This study aimed to determine whether the onset age and subsequent diabetic complications can be attributed to the polygenic architecture of T2D in the Taiwan Han population. A total of 9,627 cases with T2D and 85,606 controls from the Taiwan Biobank were enrolled. Three diabetic polygenic risk scores (PRSs), PRS_EAS and PRS_EUR, and a trans-ancestry PRS (PRS_META), calculated using summary statistic from East Asian and European populations. The onset age was identified by linking to the National Taiwan Insurance Research Database, and the incidence of different diabetic complications during follow-up was recorded. PRS_META (7.4%) explained a higher variation for T2D status. And the higher percentile of PRS is also correlated with higher percentage of T2D family history and prediabetes status. More, the PRS was negatively associated with onset age (β = -0.91 yr), and this was more evident among males (β = -1.11 vs. -0.76 for males and females, respectively). The hazard ratio of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic foot were significantly associated with PRS_EAS and PRS_META, respectively. However, the PRS was not associated with other diabetic complications, including diabetic nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension. Our findings indicated that diabetic PRS which combined susceptibility variants from cross-population could be used as a tool for early screening of T2D, especially for high-risk populations, such as individuals with high genetic risk, and may be associated with the risk of complications in subjects with T2D.

    Abstract Objectives: Trends in the susceptibility to ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and tigecycline (TGC) among Enterobacter species from different geographic areas are unknown.This study aimed to analyse the trends in CZA and TGC susceptibility changes across different continents from 2014 to 2021 utilizing Antimicrobial Testing Leadership and Surveillance (ATLAS) data.
    Methods: A total of 23 669 isolates of Enterobacter species were collected over an 8-y period.
    Results: The overall non-susceptibility rate of Enterobacter isolates to both CZA and TGC was 3.2%. India (16.5%), Guatemala (15.4%), and the Philippines (13.1%) exhibited the highest resistance to CZA. The increase in CZA resistance rates was particularly evident in Asia, with an increase from 4.0% to 8.3%, and in Latin America, from 1.5% to 5%. The non-susceptibility rate for TGC mildly increased in Africa/Middle East but decreased in other continents during the study period. The overall rate of carbapenem resistance increased from 2.9% in 2014-2017 to 4.3% in 2018-2021. Among carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter isolates, the CZA resistance rate was highest in Asia (87.4%), followed by Europe (69.2%) and Africa/Middle East (60.8%). Among the 380 Enterobacter isolates resistant to CZA and carbapenem, the most common genotype of carbapenemase genes was bla
    Conclusions: The heterogeneous distribution of CZA resistance rates among different geographical regions highlights the divergent therapeutic options for drug-resistant Enterobacter species.

    Abstract Objectives: In a mass casualty incident (MCI) exercise, live-actor patients (LAPs) simulated different scenarios in the exercise. This study compared the benefit to LAPs with that to exercise players (EPs) and nonparticipants (NPs).
    Methods: An MCI exercise was conducted in 2018. Emergency department (ED) nurses were assigned as EPs, LAPs, or NPs and asked to attend a pre-exercise lecture. A pre-exercise survey evaluated all ED nurses' background, confidence level, and knowledge of MCI management. Knowledge assessment included disaster medicine knowledge (DMK) and on emergency operation plan familiarity (EOPF). The same survey was conducted again after the exercise. A paired t-test was used to analyze the difference before and after the exercise in the 3 groups.
    Results: Twenty-nine ED nurses completed both surveys. Confidence improved significantly for both the EP and LAP groups. The DMK of the LAP group improved significantly. EOPF also improved significantly for all 3 groups. A comparison of the improvement levels showed no significant difference between the EP and LAP groups for confidence, DMK, and EOPF.
    Conclusions: ED nurses can benefit from participating as LAPs in full-scale MCI exercises. Having ED nurses act as LAPs makes it possible to train more staff in 1 exercise.

    Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can present with movement disorders, among which chorea is closely associated with antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies. Brain imaging results obtained in patients with chorea are generally inconsistent with the clinical manifestation of chorea; moreover, medical tests for hemichorea, which are expected to reveal distinct localization, may show negative findings. Herein, we present a case of a 15-year-old girl with SLE who had a history of left cerebral infarction; tests revealed elevated aPL levels, and she developed recurrent left hemichorea 2 years later. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results revealed no acute lesions during each episode of involuntary movements, and an MRI perfusion scan failed to provide an explanation for the asymmetric presentation. Although various hypotheses have been proposed regarding the mechanism underlying the occurrence of chorea, some scenarios still remain unexplained. Further investigation on the pathophysiology of chorea in SLE may be warranted to clarify its prognosis.

    Abstract The canine anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) monoclonal antibody is a potential therapeutic option for treating canine arthritis. The current treatments for arthritis in dogs have limitations due to side effects, emphasizing the need for safer and more effective therapies. The crystal structure of canine TNF-α (cTNF-α) was successfully determined at a resolution of 1.85 Å, and the protein was shown to assemble as a trimer, with high similarity to the functional quaternary structure of human TNF-α (hTNF-α). Adalimumab (Humira), a known TNF-α inhibitor, effectively targets and neutralizes TNF-α to reduce inflammation and has been used to manage autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. By comparing the structure of cTNF-α with the complex structure of hTNF-α and adalimumab-Fab, the epitope of adalimumab on cTNF-α was identified. The significant structural similarities of epitopes in cTNF-α and hTNF-α indicate the potential of using adalimumab to target cTNF-α. Therefore, a canine/human chimeric antibody, Humivet-R1, was created by grafting the variable domain of adalimumab onto a canine antibody framework derived from ranevetmab. Humivet-R1 exhibits potent neutralizing ability (IC
