Behavior analysis of wild felines has significance for the protection of a grassland ecological environment. Compared with human action recognition, fewer researchers have focused on feline behavior analysis. This paper proposes a novel two-stream architecture that incorporates spatial and temporal networks for wild feline action recognition. The spatial portion outlines the object region extracted by Mask region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) and builds a Tiny Visual Geometry Group (VGG) network for static action recognition. Compared with VGG16, the Tiny VGG network can reduce the number of network parameters and avoid overfitting. The temporal part presents a novel skeleton-based action recognition model based on the bending angle fluctuation amplitude of the knee joints in a video clip. Due to its temporal features, the model can effectively distinguish between different upright actions, such as standing, ambling, and galloping, particularly when the felines are occluded by objects such as plants, fallen trees, and so on. The experimental results showed that the proposed two-stream network model can effectively outline the wild feline targets in captured images and can significantly improve the performance of wild feline action recognition due to its spatial and temporal features.

Case report: a rare presentation of typhoid fever due to eating over-ripened pineapple

Background and Importance: Typhoid fever is an acute infection caused by Salmonella typhi, especially when it is waterborne or foodborne. Overripe pineapple causes typhoid fever because overripe pineapple is a desirable host for the survival of S. typhi. The importance of typhoid fever as a public health burden is reduced by early detection and appropriate antibiotic treatment. Case Presentation: A 26-year-old black African male health care worker was admitted to the clinic on 21 July 2022, with a significant chief complaint of headache, loss of appetite, and watery diarrhea. The admitted patient presented with a 2-day history of hyperthermia, headache, loss of appetite, and watery diarrhea, as well as back pain, joint weakness, and insomnia. The H antigen titer was positive, which was 1 : 189 greater than the normal range and showed the past history of S. typhi infection. The O antigen titer value detected was a false negative result because it was done before the 7-day onset of fever. On admission, ciprofloxacillin 500 mg was given orally twice a day for 7 days to treat typhoid by inhibiting the deoxyribonucleic acid replication of S. typhi by preventing S. typhi deoxyribonucleic acid topoisomerase and deoxyribonucleic acid gyrase. Clinical Discussion: Typhoid fever pathogenesis is based on pathogenic factors, infecting species, and host immunity. By using the agglutination biochemical test, the Widal test was able to identify the patient’s bloodstream as carrying the S. typhi bacteria that causes typhoid fever. Conclusion: Due to contaminated food or unsafe drinking water sources, typhoid fever is associated with travel to developing nations.
