B loodstream Infection after Umbilical Cord Blood ransplantation Using Reduced-Intensity Stem Cell ransplantation for Adult Patients

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a significant problem after cord blood transplantation (CBT). However, little information has been reported on BSI after reduced-intensity CBT (RI-CBT). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 102 patients. The median age of the patients was 55 years (range, 17-79 years). Preparative regimens comprised fludarabine 125 to 150 mg/m, melphalan 80 to 140 mg/m, or busulfan 8 mg/kg and total body irradiation 2 to 8 Gy. Prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease comprised cyclosporin or tacrolimus. BSI developed within 100 days of RI-CBT in 32 patients. The cumulative incidence of BSI was 25% at day 30 and 32% at day 100. The median onset was day 15 (range, 1-98 days). Causative organisms included Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n 12), Staphylococcus epidermidis (n 11), Staphylococcus aureus (n 6), Enterococcus faecium (n 4), Enterococcus faecalis (n 4), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (n 4), and others (n 7). Of the 32 patients with BSI, 25 (84%) died within 100 days after RI-CBT. BSI was the direct cause of death in 8 patients (25%). Univariate analysis failed to identify any significant risk factors. BSI clearly represents a significant and fatal complication after RI-CBT. Further studies are warranted to determine clinical characteristics, identify patients at high risk of BSI, and establish therapeutic strategies. © 2005 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
Firm-initiated versus Exchange-initiated Transfers to Continuous Trading : Evidence from the Warsaw Stock Exchange

We examine 44 transfers from a call auction system to continuous trade on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. On average, stocks transferred to continuous trading experience an excess return of about 10%, which can be partly attributed to improvements in stock liquidity. We also find positive liquidity and value reactions in a subsample of transfers initiated by the companies themselves. Previous evidence examined only transfers initiated by the exchange. Hence, our evidence shows that even without the prestige (generated by the exchange decision to upgrade the stock to continuous trading) stock response is positive. Last, we show that companies applying for firm-initiated transfers have relatively liquid and successful stocks, yet their pre-transfer trading volumes are relatively low.

Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary Background. Obesity and a sedentary way of life play an important part in public health in Hungary. This phenomenon is becoming more and more serious not only in adults but also children. Adults’ health behaviour is greatly affected by the existence or absence of health awareness. Regular exercising in association with general fitness form an integral part of health awareness. Our objective is to demonstrate the nutrition and fitness status of students in higher education with a comprehensive test. Material and methods. Beside general factors affecting health, such as BMI, skeletal muscle, body fat, visceral fat percentage, participants performed practical tasks which provided data of their stamina, muscular strength and fitness status: (1) a 15/20-minute shuttle run, (2) a scheduled abdominal muscle test (3) manual clamping force measurement (4) a scheduled push up test (5) a standing long-jump test, and (6) a flexibility test. Results. According to our survey, young adults’ nutrition status was satisfactory, two third of them had normal BMI. Left manual clamping force and trunk stretching force in men, stamina and explosive power in women were significantly determined by BMI classification. Basing on these results, we can state that body weight has no effect on joint mobility. Conclusions. The present study draws attention to several former conclusions which suggest that more efforts are needed in higher education to improve health promotion of the youth. Introduction of compulsory physical education classes might facilitate further research which may follow-up the changes in the fitness status of young people.
Lessons for Poland based on the UK experience

Building performance evaluation (BPE) is a group endeavour. It has the potential to enable context based learning and improvement of the built environment necessary at a time of rapidly increasing expectations towards buildings. This potential can only be released however if voluntary en­ gagement of key stakeholders is secured and their needs and expectations are carefully considered. The paper is a critical reflection on the process of introducing BPE into the scope of interest of the mainstream building industry stakeholders in the UK. It is believed that these lessons provide useful precedent applicable in the Polish context despite any differences between the two countries. Key benefits and risks different stakeholder groups may link with their engagement in BPE are identified. BPE process elements securing specific benefits and addressing relevant risks are named in order to justify the necessity of thinking of BPE holistically.
Just a matter of taste 1

According to an ordinary view, we distinguish, classify, and appreciate food and beverages according to their taste. However, scientists seem to disagree with this naive view. They maintain that we don't really perceive the lemony taste of a cake or the delicate smoky taste of a single-malt whiskey, because what we ascribe to taste is in reality mostly perceived by smell. As opposed to this scientific consensus regarding taste, I will defend a naive view of taste and deny that olfaction is involved in what we naively call taste. Like the uninformed layman, I will maintain that when I eat a strawberry, what I really perceive is its taste, not its smell or flavor. Keyword: perception, taste, sense, flavor, olfaction, multimodal, Grice I’m firmly of the opinion that real progress in philosophy can only come from taking common sense seriously. A departure from common sense is usually an indication that a mistake has been made.
Fiscal interest in Flanders : The impact of tax autonomy on productive expenditure

T fiscal interest approach emphasizes the importance of own revenue generation in advancing the accountability of subnational governments, their responsiveness to constituents’ needs and the general performance of their jurisdictions. If fiscal decentralization affects public officials’ incentives in such a way that their policy choices are more growth-oriented, one would expect to see this reflected in subnational spending. Based on that premise, this study analyzes the impact of tax decentralization in Belgium on the share of productive public expenditure in Flanders. While some evidence is found that own revenue retention boosts productive spending, doubt is cast on the results due to limitations in the empirical approach. For all specifications the coefficient for tax decentralization is positive, but not always significant. Furthermore, the preferred specification, which tries to account for lags in decision making and the presence of vertical fiscal imbalance, likely suffers from collinearity.
Handling Spillover Effects in Empirical Research

Despite their importance, the discussion of spillover effects in empirical research often misses the rigor dedicated to endogeneity concerns. We analyze a broad set of workhorse models of firm interactions and show that spillovers naturally arise in many corporate finance settings. This has important implications for the estimation of treatment effects: i) even with random treatment, spillovers lead to an intricate bias, ii) fixed effects can exacerbate the spillover-induced bias. We develop guidance for empirical researchers, use our method to analyze the effect of a credit supply shock on employment, and highlight differences in results compared to current empirical practice.
Risk-Neutral Skewness and Stock Outperformance

This study examines whether out-of-the-money (OTM) option prices, which determine the Risk-Neutral Skewness (RNS) of the underlying stock return distribution, contain information with respect to subsequent stock outperformance. A long-only portfolio containing the stocks with the highest values of RNS, or the biggest increases in RNS (∆RNS) relative to the previous trading day, yields significant risk-adjusted performance in the post-ranking week during the period 1996-2014. This outperformance is mainly driven by stocks that are relatively underpriced and are exposed to greater downside risk. These findings are consistent with a trading mechanism, according to which investors may choose to exploit perceived stock underpricing by buying (selling) OTM call (put) options due to their embedded leverage, rather than directly buying the underlying stock, to avoid exposure to its potential downside risk. In this case, the option market leads the stock market with respect to positive price discovery, but due to the absence of severe limits-to-arbitrage for the long-side, the price correction signalled by RNS is very quick, typically overnight.

Increased Erythrocyte Count on Top of Bone Marrow Histology but not Serum EPO Level or JAK2 Mutation Load Discriminates between JAK2V617F Mutated Essential Thrombocythemia and Polycythemia Vera

Bone marrow histology is a powerful tool to differentiate between the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) of essential thrombocythemia (ET) and polycythemia vera (PV) from all variants of primary or secondary erythrocytosis and reactive thrombocytosis with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. Bone marrow histopathology on its own is not reliable to differentiate between WHO defined ET and PV. The majority of JAK2 mutated ET and all PV patients have increased scores for the leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) stain. The morphology of large pleomorphic megakarocytes were not different in JAK2 mutated ET, prodromal PV, and overt PV. Serum EPO level or JAK2 allele mutation load do not discriminate between ET and prodromal PV versus classical and masked PV in JAK2V617F positive trilinear MPN. A typical MPN bone marrow histology, erythrocytes above 5.8 × 1012/L in males and 5.6 × 1012/l in females (normal cut-off value is 5.5 × 1012/L in females) separates overt and masked PV from ET and prodromal PV obviating the need of RCM measurement.
GENETIC EVALUATION OF CALVING DIFFICULTY IN CATTLE : A REVIEW

Advantages and drawbacks of different approaches of genetic evaluation of calving difficulty are described and discussed in the review. Calving difficulty is a complex trait, which affects the economics of cattle breeders. The main factors affecting calving difficulty include calf size, pelvic measures of the cow and, more importantly, their compatibility, breed, parity of the calving, sex of the calf, gestation length and the season of the calving. Scoring scales of calving difficulty differing in the number and description of the categories are applied across the countries. Among the various statistical approaches, preference is given to threshold and linear models for genetic evaluation of calving difficulty. It seems that linear models are more suitable for the use of field data. An improvement of predictions can be obviously achieved by the application of correlated traits.
SWIMMING AGAINST THE TIDE : THE CONJUGAL EXPERIENCE OF GAY MEN AND HETERONORMATIVITY

This article stems from a survey conducted with men living a conjugal relationship with partners of the same sex. It aimed at understanding the effects of the naturalization of heteronormative standards in homosexual conjugal experiences. For this study, the authors selected part of the results of the discourse analysis of nine interviews – middle-class homosexual men, aged 25 to 47, residents of the Brazilian city of Goiania living with their partners. The authors discussed the results concerning two categories that emerged from the interview analysis process: their views of family and marriage; and their daily experiences regarding conjugality. The results show that those subjects have their views of family and marriage that are deeply influenced by the appreciation of affection and respect for the singularity of the individuals. In their everyday lives, they create a particular sharing of domestic chores that does not follow socially established gender distinction criteria. Although the participants feel free from the sexist norms in their spaces of intimate life, they suffer the effects of social heteronormativity in public spheres.
The Freud-1/CC2D1A Family: Multifunctional Regulators Implicated in Mental Retardation

Mental retardation is classified by the DSM-IV-TR as a developmental disorder, with diagnosis contingent upon the presence of three cardinal features: below average cognitive function (IQ≤70); significant deficits in multiple adaptive skill domains, and; onset prior to eighteen years of age (American Psychiatric Association. & American Psychiatric Association. Task Force on DSM-IV., 2000). The prevalence of MR, while difficult to ascertain, is often cited as affecting 1-3% of the population (Chechlacz & Gleeson, 2003; Leonard & Wen, 2002; McDermott, et al., 2007). Complicating an understanding of the disorder is the fact that a spectrum of phenotypes are subsumed under the term mental retardation, which can manifest as a variety of syndromes with differing degrees of impairment. Genetic and chromosomal abnormalities as well as environmental factors (infections, malnutrition, trauma, toxins, etc.) have been implicated as playing a causal role in the development of MR, however idiopathic MR is the single most common origin, accounting for 30-50% of cases (McDermott, et al., 2007). The diversity of MR in terms of presentation and etiology reflects the heterogeneity of the disorder and has confounded a complete understanding of its pathophysiology. It is clear that MR causes substantial impairment, thus the need exists to clarify and characterize factors contributing to the disrupted developmental processes that result in MR. In an attempt to understand the underlying developmental mechanisms affected in MR, this chapter will examine one variant of MR, non-syndromic mental retardation (NSMR). In particular, the potential contribution of one gene/protein product, CC2D1A, will be explored in the development of NSMR.
Percutaneous treatment of complex lesions and complex patients

textabstractCoronary artery disease (CAD) represents a wide spectrum of underlying anatomical disease ranging from near normal, minor single-vessel disease (SVD), to extensive triple-vessel disease. Its presentation is similarly variable, from a single episode of chest pain to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or even death. The aim of treatment in CAD is to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life, reduce cardiovascular (CV) events, and prolong survival. There have been vast improvements in management over the years, following a greater understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, the identifi cation and appropriate management of risk factors, development of new medication, and advances in revascularization techniques, both percutaneous and surgical. These developments have resulted in a move towards an anatomic treatment for CAD even though it is the minor lesion, so-called vulnerable plaque, which is suggested as the most likely culprit for mortality. Nevertheless, in those patients presenting with ACS or ST-elevation myocardial infarction the long-term benefi ts of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been confi rmed in multiple randomized trials; however, debate surrounds the ideal management of the majority of patients who have angina, and who have not experienced any previous CV events or had an interventional procedure, so-called stable CAD.
Conservative screening and weighting in Shariah-Compliant Equity Investing

Shariah law prohibits investments in equities of companies for which interest income is a considerable source of revenue. In practice this is often enforced by prohibiting investments in firms for which the reported interest-based revenues exceed a predetermined percentage of the firm’s total revenue. We investigate an alternative approach that consists of avoiding firms that are expected to have interest-based revenues exceeding the acceptable threshold over the investment horizon. We compare the traditional backward looking approach with the proposed forward looking analysis for the sample of S&P 500 firms over the period 19842015. Our results show that the forward looking approach outperforms the backward looking approach in terms of both less false positives (firms classified as compliant, when they are not) and false negatives (firms classified as not compliant, when they are compliant).
Semantically-Aware Attentive Neural Embeddings for 2D Long-Term Visual Localization

We present an approach that combines appearance and semantic information for 2D image-based localization (2D-VL) across large perceptual changes and time lags. Compared to appearance features, the semantic layout of a scene is generally more invariant to appearance variations. We use this intuition and propose a novel end-to-end deep attention-based framework that utilizes multimodal cues to generate robust embeddings for 2D-VL. The proposed attention module predicts a shared channel attention and modality-speciﬁc spatial attentions to guide the embeddings to focus on more reliable image regions. We evaluate our model against state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods on three challenging localization datasets. We report an average (absolute) improvement of 19% over current SOTA for 2D-VL. Furthermore, we present an extensive study demonstrating the contribution of each component of our model, showing 8–15% and 4% improvement from adding semantic information and our proposed attention module. We ﬁnally show the predicted attention maps to offer useful insights into our model.
Relationship between the quality of sleep and restless legs syndrome among

Background: Sleep disorders, especially restless legs syndrome (RLS), are one of the most common complications of hemodialysis. The present study was carried out to investigate the relationship between RLS and the quality of sleep among the hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 171 hemodialysis patients admitted to dialysis centers in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province were selected by census sampling. The subjects were divided into the two groups, with and without RLS. Data were collection using the sleep quality and RLS questionnaires. Results: Among 171 hemodialysis patients, 95 (55.6%) cases were men and 76 (44.4%) women; 98 (57.3%) patients with RLS and 73 (42.7%) without RLS. The mean scores of the sleep quality in the severe syndrome, mild syndrome and no syndrome groups were 53.64±15.10, 46.05±9.79 and 31.50±12.82, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the sleep quality scores between the three groups (P Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of RLS in the hemodialysis patients, the preventive measures should be considered to avoid the syndrome.
Self-Concept and Perceived Parenting Style of Crime Offenders from Lipa City , Batangas , Philippines

This study determined the self-concept and parenting style perceived by the crime offenders and tested the relationship of the variables with the crime offender’s profile. Towards the end, results served as an input to Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Lipa City, Philippines. This research employed quantitative method using standardized tests such as Robson Self-Concept Questionnaire (RSCQ) and Parenting Style Questionnaire (PSQ). The participants of the study were one hundred (100) out of 712 Crime Offenders detained at Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) in Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines during the month of August 2016. Respondents have status offenses such as theft, drugs, murder and rape. Based on the results, respondents were both males and females ranging from twenty (20) to forty (40) years of age, majority of the respondents were high school graduates, married, affiliated in Roman Catholic and with family socio-economic status of 5,000 – 10,000. Majority of the respondents have a moderate level of self concept and experienced Authoritative Parenting Style from their parents. Additionally, correlation shows that there is no significant difference on parenting style and profile variables. Also it shows that there is a significant difference on Self-Concept and Family Monthly Income of the respondents. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between self concept and parenting styles as to authoritative and permissive.
