Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults This study aimed to determine the viral etiology of these infections in patients aged >= 65 years during two successive epidemic seasons in Bulgaria Nasal and throat specimens were collected from the enrolled patients during the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons The viral etiology was determined by individual Real Time PCR assays against 15 respiratory viruses Of the 160 adults examined, 74 (46 3%) were positive for at least one respiratory virus Co-infections with two and three viruses were found in 14 (18 9%) of the infected patients Influenza A(H3N2) (15 6%) and A(H1N1)pdm09 (13 1%) viruses were the predominant pathogens, followed by adenoviruses (5 6%);respiratory-syncytial virus (3 8%);metapneumovirus (3 1%);rhinoviruses (2 5%);coronaviruses - NL63 (2 5%), OC43 (1 9%), HKU1 (1 9%) and 229E (1 3%);influenza type B (1 9%);bocaviruses (1 3%) and parainfluenza viruses 1/2/3 (1 3%) At least one respiratory virus was identified in 50% and 32 3% of the patients with acute lower respiratory tract illnesses and neurological complications, respectively Respiratory viruses, especially influenza A viruses, are major pathogens of ARIs in persons aged >= 65 years Diagnostic testing for respiratory viruses using molecular methods can help in clinical decision making and may assist in measures to prevent health careassociated infections

The research studies in the porosity of textile macrostructures have always been relevant, but they have undergone significant progress with the development of optical devices and computer facilities. The main reason for this continuous interest is the strong correlation between textile porosity and the transfer of heat, fluids, and matter. Adequate porosity determination is needed for estimation of the influence of the macrostructure’s parameters on the transfer abilities of the textiles and their adequate design. The present study aims to experimentally determine the porosity of textile macrostructures with uneven pores, using image analysis. Microscopic images of seven fabrics were converted to binary images, and the pore content was assessed. The results were verified with a classical method for the determination of porosity of woven macrostructures. The obtained results show a very good correlation with the theoretical porosity of woven macrostructures. The proposed image analysis can be used for the determination of porosity of other types of textile macrostructures with uneven pore size.

CD90 is a glycoprotein involved in leukocyte homing and cell differentiation. In human endometrium CD90 is described on endothelial and stromal cells. If pregnancy occurs, the tissue is infiltrated by immune and trophoblast cells, which cooperate to remodel the tissue. The process requires a fine regulation of cell adhesion and migration. The expression of CD90 on cultured decidual stromal cells and its modulation by trophoblast cells from JAR and JEG-3 cell lines via soluble factors are investigated by flow cytometry. Some of decidual stromal cell lines showed ubiquitous expression of CD90 but in others a coexistence of CD90(high) and CD90(low) decidual stromal cells was observed. Further, a reduction of CD90 expression on decidual stromal cells was defined when decidual stromal cells communicate with trophoblast cells via soluble factors. The results sugguest a trophoblast guided differentiation of decidual stromal cells that could influence immune cells migration and tissue distribution.

The graptolite-bearing interval in well A1-NC101, Libya indicates a Hirnantian age (persculptus graptolite Zone) for the lowermost Tanezzuft Fm based on the presence and stratigraphical distribution of N.? pseudovenustus. In the C1-NC101 core, the presence of N. inazaouae (recognised for the first time outside Algeria) and M. parvulus indicates either the uppermost Ordovician or the lowermost Silurian, but the revised total stratigraphical range of N. targuii (ascensus-acuminatus graptolite Zone) suggests an earliest Rhuddanian age. Several specimens of N. targuii are longer than those previously recorded. Pure quartz arenites of the uppermost Mamuniyat Fm (well A1-NC101) were deposited during the end-Hirnantian deglaciation probably in a nearshore marine environment. Their provenance was associated with sedimentary recycling of mature sands that were formed across North Gondwana in Cambrian and pre-glacial Ordovician times.
