Mass and tandem mass spectra are made available as a possible starting point for further studies exploring the human CSF proteome.This data can serve as a reference for other next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In the related research article, entitled “Next-Generation Sequencing of Cerebrospinal Fluid for the Diagnosis of Neurocysticercosis”, we reported NGS of the CSF might be an auxiliary method for neurocysticercosis (NCC) patients who have complicated manifestations and courses to receive early diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we retrieved the available data about the sequencing statistics of the CSF samples and the number of unique reads and genomic coverage aligning to microorganic sequences. The data were generated by the Illumina MiniSeq system for sequencing and computational subtraction of the human host sequences was performed. Finally, the remaining sequencing data were aligned to the Microbial Genome Databases. This data can serve as a reference for other NGS of the CSF.Mopane worm samples, obtained from different districts of the Limpopo Province of South Africa between April and July 2018, were investigated for the incidence of microbial flora. Over a period of ten weeks, samples consisting of market-obtained, field-prepared and sun- dried worms, were evaluated. It was revealed that after cooking at 89- 93°C, the microbial population was reduced to less than 9 000 CFU/g. The most prominent microbial populations cultured after cooking were spore- formers. Field-processed worms had a microbial population of 4 × 104 -1 × 108 CFU/g. Bacteria and fungi isolated included Aspergillus niger, Enterobacter aglomerans, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus and Penicillium sp. Total microbial population ranged between 4 × 105 and 3 × 105 CFU/g after cooking. Total bacterial count increased in the sun- dried worms from 3 × 105-4 × 105 CFU/g, while it decreased from 2.0 × 105-1.4 × 105 CFU/g after cooking. This data can be used to generate safety guidelines related to the processing of edible insects, such as mopane worms.This article introduces a dataset that presents the cultural values and practices of food consumption patterns in major urban communities in Indonesian cities. The data illustrate the cultural characteristics of urban residents’ food consumption patterns based on social class categories. Data collection was conducted in five major Indonesian cities through face-to-face interviews with 710 respondents identified using a stratified random sampling technique. The data show that culture has a dominant influence on the pattern of food consumption of urban communities in Indonesia in comparison with economic and health dimensions. Although the value and practice sub-dimensions are conceptually related, the cultural dimension of food consumption patterns in the five urban communities is more dominated by religious value than other cultural practices. Regarding food consumption patterns, urban upper classes are more dominantly influenced by economic dimensions and modern healthy lifestyles than cultural dimensions.Pre-treatment on banana slices is usually carried out to stop discolouration of the fruit by oxidative reactions, in raw presentation of the fruit especially in fruit salads. Drying is an old long preservation method for fruits and vegetables. In drying banana fruit, discolorations do occur and an attempt to stop the discoloration while maintaining quality (shelf life) is studied in this work. Dataset presented here, is on the effect of different pretreatment on the proximate analysis, microbial and sensory evaluation of dried banana during its storage. The pre-treatment methods considered in this work, were lemon juice and carbonated lemon drink while the control had no pre-treatment on the slices before drying. Proximate analysis and water activity of raw and dried samples were carried out while the microbial and sensory evaluation changes were observed in the samples over one month period.How pain influences explicit memory is an active area of investigation, and next-day recognition was the primary outcome of this experiment. The data reported here were secondary measures of psychometrics to quantify interindividual variability between subjects and measure electrodermal activity (EDA) changes in response to experimental stimuli. Reliable EDA responses following painful electric shocks were obtained in the Learning portion of the experiment. find more During next-day testing, however, no reliable EDA responses were elicited, including to previously pain-paired experimental items.Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a severe pulmonary complication of prematurity and is associated with significant morbidity or death. Early use of systemic corticosteroids may alter the trajectory of the disease and improve outcomes. A BPD Outcomes estimator, developed by the NICHD using a large population dataset, can be used to calculate individual risk. Risk above a certain threshold may indicate that the benefits of corticosteroids outweigh the risks. Empiric analysis of this calculator by systematic entry of synthetic patient information reveals a marked racial disparity; black infants have lower risk of moderate/severe BPD due to a higher risk of death despite equivalent severity of illness. Interpretation and analysis of this finding can be found in “The challenge of risk stratification of preterm infants in the setting of competing and disparate healthcare outcomes” [1]. In this report, we provide the underlying data used in this analysis. Calculator output for 108 example patients, systematically varied by sex, birthweight, race, type of ventilator, and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), is reported.Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is triggered by a stressful event, with symptoms including exaggerated startle response, intrusive traumatic memories and nightmares. The single prolonged stress (SPS) is a multimodal stress protocol that comprises a sequential exposure to physical restraint, forced swimming, predator scent and ether anesthesia. This procedure generates behavioral and neurobiological alterations that resemble clinical findings of PTSD, and thus it is commonly used to model the disease in rodents. Here, we applied c-fos mapping to produce a comprehensive view of stress-activated brain regions in mice exposed to SPS alone or to SPS after oral pretreatment with the serotonin-noradrenaline receptor dual modulator ACH-000029 or the α1-adrenergic blocker prazosin. The SPS protocol evoked c-fos expression in several brain regions that control the stress-anxiety response, including the central and medial amygdala, the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, the pallidum, the paraventricular hypothalamus, the intermediodorsal, paraventricular and central medial thalamic nuclei, the periaqueductal gray, the lateral habenula and the cuneiform nucleus.
