    Abstract This study focuses on the synchronization analysis of Hindmarsh-Rose neurons coupled through a common memristor (coupled mHRN). Initially, we thoroughly examine the synchronization of two mHRNs coupled via a common memristor before exploring synchronization in a network of mHRNs. The stability of the proposed model is analyzed in three cases, demonstrating the existence of a single equilibrium point whose stability is influenced by external stimuli. The stable and unstable regions are investigated using eigenvalues. Through bifurcation analysis and the determination of maximum Lyapunov exponents, we identify chaotic and hyperchaotic trajectories. Additionally, using the next-generation matrix method, we calculate the chaotic number C

    Abstract Kidney transplant often is complicated by infections in the recipient from therapy-related and patient-related risk factors. Infections in kidney transplant recipients are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and allograft dysfunction. There is a predictable timeline after kidney transplant regarding the types of pathogens causing infections, reflecting the net state of immunosuppression. In the early post-transplant period, bacterial infections comprise two thirds of all infections, followed by viral and fungal infections. Infections occurring early after kidney transplantation are generally the result of postoperative complications. In most cases, opportunistic infections occur within 6 months after kidney transplantation. They may be caused by a new infection, a donor-derived infection, or reactivation of a latent infection. Community-acquired pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and gastrointestinal infections are the most common infections in the late period after transplantation when the net immunosuppression is minimal. It is crucial to seek information on the time after transplant, reflecting the net state of immunosuppression, previous history of exposure/infections, geography, and seasonal outbreaks. It is imperative that we develop regionally specific guidelines on screening, prevention, and management of infections after kidney transplantation.

    Abstract Objectives: Respiratory tract infections are life-threatening infections in solid-organ transplant recipients that pose risk to the graft and to the patient. This study was undertaken to examine the clinical and microbiological spectrum of pneumonia in renal transplant recipients.
    Materials and methods: Of 400 consecutive renal transplant recipients, 87 recipients (21.8%) were hospitalized between November 2014 and October 2016 with pneumonia. We examined demographic profiles and clinical investigations.
    Results: The median age of patients was 38 years (range, 19-72 y). The mean time of presentation after renal transplant was 18 months (range, 1-174 mo). Most patients (80.5%) were on maintenance immunosuppression with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and steroids; 34% of patients had an induction agent. Chronic hepatitis C and hepatitis B infections were found in 12.6% and 2.2% of patients, respectively, and new-onset diabetes in 19.5% of patients. Fever (88%), cough (87%), shortness of breath (68%), and hypotension (33%) were common presenting symptoms. Diarrhea was the most frequent accompanying symptom, found in 9.2% of patients. Cytopenia and graft dysfunction were present in 38.7% and 80.4% of patients. Among infections, fungal infections were the most frequent (30%) followed by mixed infections (20.7%), tuberculosis (12.6%), bacterial (12.6%), and viral (3.5%) infections. Etiology could not be found in 27.6% patients. Mortality rate was 24.1%, with the highest rates for fungal infections (44%), followed by bacterial (25%) and mixed infections (18%). Presence of hypoxia and hypotension at presentation was associated with increased risk of death, whereas use of induction agents, new-onset diabetes posttransplant, diabetes mellitus, and acute kidney injury were not correlated with death or increased duration of hospital stay.
    Conclusions: Pneumonia carries high risk of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Fungal and bacterial infections carry high risk of mortality. Despite invasive investigations, a substantial number of patients had unidentified etiology.

    Abstract Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN), an autoimmune disease, is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in middle-aged non-diabetic adults. PMN pathophysiology includes Th1/Th2 paradigm. The IL-23/IL-17 pathway is implicated in autoimmune kidney disorders, but no study has examined its relationship with PMN. In several unrelated studies, PMN patients reported to have paradoxical IL-17 levels. This manuscript describes the best possible association of IL-23/IL-17 axis with PMN. Biopsy-proven PMN patients and age, gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled. Serum-PLA2R (Euroimmune, Germany), IL-23 and IL-17 (R&D; USA), was measured using ELISA along with biochemical parameters. Appropriate statistical tools were used for analysis. One hundred eighty-nine PMN patients (mean age 41.70 ± 12.53 years) and 100 controls (mean age 43.92 ± 10.93 years) were identified. One hundred forty were PLA2R-related. PMN patients had median proteinuria, serum albumin, and creatinine of 6.12 (3.875, 9.23) g/day, 2.32 (1.96, 2.9) g/dl, and 0.89 (0.7, 1.1) mg/dl, respectively. IL-17, but not IL-23, was significantly increased in PMN patients compared to controls (IL-17, median: 12.07 pg/ml (9.75, 24.56) vs median: 9.75 pg/ml (8.23, 17.03) p = 0.0002); (IL23, median: 6.04 pg/ml (4.22, 10.82) vs median: 5.46 pg/ml (3.34, 9.96) p = 0.142). IL-17 and IL-23 correlated significantly (p 0.05) in PMN patients, and similar trend was seen when grouped into PLA2R-related and -unrelated groups. The levels of IL-23 (p = 0.057) and IL-17 (p = 0.004) were high in MN patients that did not respond to the treatment. The current finding may indicate or suggest the involvement of IL-23/IL-17 PMN pathogenesis. A comprehensive investigation is needed to evaluate IL-23/IL-17 axis with renal infiltrating immune cells, and external stimuli.
