Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibition Prevents Experimental Type 4 Cardiorenal Syndrome

Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of morbimortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to assess the cardiovascular impact of the pharmacological inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which metabolizes the endothelium-derived vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (DHETs), in the 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx) mouse model. Methods and Results: Compared to sham-operated mice, there was decrease in EET-to-DHET ratio 3 months after surgery in vehicle-treated Nx mice but not in mice treated with the sEH inhibitor t-AUCB. Nx induced an increase in plasma creatinine and in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio as well as the development of kidney histological lesions, all of which were not modified by t-AUCB. In addition, t-AUCB did not oppose Nx-induced blood pressure increase. However, t-AUCB prevented the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by Nx, as well as normalized the echocardiographic indices of diastolic and systolic function. Moreover, the reduction in endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation of isolated mesenteric arteries induced by Nx was blunted by t-AUCB without change in endothelium-independent dilatation to sodium nitroprusside. Conclusion: Inhibition of sEH reduces the cardiac remodelling, and the diastolic and systolic dysfunctions associated with CKD. These beneficial effects may be mediated by the prevention of endothelial dysfunction, independent from kidney preservation and antihypertensor effect. Thus, inhibition of sEH holds a therapeutic potential in preventing type 4 cardiorenal syndrome.
Absorbing Patterns in BST-Like Expression-Trees

In this article we study the effect of simple semantic reductions on random BST-like expression-trees. Such random unary-binary expression-trees are often used in benchmarks for model-checking tools. We consider the reduction induced by an absorbing pattern for some given operator ⊛ , which we apply bottom-up, producing an equivalent (and smaller) tree-expression. Our main result concerns the expected size of a random tree, of given input size n → ∞ , after reduction. We show that there are two different thresholds, leading to a total of five regimes, ranging from no significant reduction at all, to almost complete reduction. These regimes are completely characterized according to the probability of the absorbing operator. Our results prove that random BST-like trees have to be considered with care, and that they offer a richer range of behaviours than uniform random trees.
Effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention to improve emergency department care of low back pain: a stepped-wedge, cluster-randomised trial

Background Overuse of lumbar imaging is common in the emergency department (ED). Few trials have examined interventions to address this. We evaluated the effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention to implement guideline recommendations for low back pain in the emergency department. Methods We conducted a stepped-wedge, cluster-randomised trial in four EDs in New South Wales, Australia. After a 13-month control phase of usual care, the EDs received a multifaceted intervention to support guideline-endorsed care in a random order, based on a computer-generated random sequence, every 4 weeks over a 4-month period. All sites were followed up for at least 3 months. The primary outcome was the proportion of low back pain presentations receiving lumbar imaging. Secondary healthcare utilisation outcomes included prescriptions of opioid and non-opioid pain medicines, inpatient admissions, length of ED stay, specialist referrals and re-presentations. Clinician beliefs and knowledge about low back pain care were measured before and after the intervention. Patient-reported pain, disability, quality of life and satisfaction were measured at 1, 2 and 4 weeks post ED presentation. Results A total of 269 ED clinicians and 4625 episodes of care for low back pain (4491 patients) were included. The data did not provide clear evidence that the intervention reduced lumbar imaging (OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.47 to 1.26; p=0.29). It did reduce opioid use (OR 0.57; 95% CI 0.38 to 0.85; p=0.006) and improved clinicians’ beliefs (mean difference (MD), 2.85; 95% CI 1.85 to 3.85; p<0.001; on a scale from 9 to 45) and knowledge about low back pain care (MD, 0.48; 95% CI 0.13 to 0.83; p<0.01; on a scale from 0 to 11). There was no difference in pain scores at 1-week follow-up (MD, 0.04; 95% CI −1.00 to 1.08; p=0.94; on a scale from 0 to 10). A similar trend was observed for all other patient-reported outcomes and time points. This study found no effect on the other secondary healthcare utilisation outcomes. Conclusion It is uncertain if a multifaceted intervention to implement guideline recommendations for low back pain care decreased lumbar imaging in the ED; however, it did reduce opioid prescriptions without adversely affecting patient outcomes.

Is baseline pupil size related to cognitive ability? Yes (under proper lighting conditions)

There has been some controversy as to whether baseline pupil size is related to individual differences in cognitive ability. Previously, we had shown that a larger baseline pupil size was associated with higher cognitive ability and that the correlation to fluid intelligence was larger than that to working memory capacity (Tsukahara, Harrison, & Engle, 2016). However, other researchers have not been able to replicate our findings - though they only measured working memory capacity and not fluid intelligence. Many of the studies showing no relationship had major methodological issues, namely small baseline pupil size values - down to the physiological minimum - that resulted in reduced variability on baseline pupil size. We conducted two large-scale studies to investigate how different lighting conditions affect baseline pupil size values and the correlation with cognitive abilities. We found that fluid intelligence, working memory capacity, and attention control did correlate with baseline pupil size except in the brightest lighting conditions. We showed that a reduced variability in baseline pupil size values is due to the monitor settings being too bright. Overall, our findings demonstrated that the baseline pupil size - working memory capacity relationship was not as strong or robust as that with fluid intelligence or attention control. Our findings have strong methodological implications for researchers investigating individual differences in task-free or task-evoked pupil size. We conclude that fluid intelligence does correlate with baseline pupil size and that this is related to the functional organization of the resting-state brain through the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system.
Motion of Screw Dislocations under Stress in a Model B.C.C. Lattice

Using a model b.c.c. lattice, the behaviour of the screw dislocation under various types of the shear stress at 0 °K has been investigated by computer simulation. The dislocation core moved in a zigzag way changing its slip plane alternately on two {110} planes so that the resultant slip trace was along the twinning {112} plane for every type of the shear stress. Calculated Peierls stresses were 0.0025, 0.0015, and 0.0027 μ for the shear on {110} plane, on {112} plane in the twinning direction, and on {112} plane in the anti-twinning direction, respectively, where μ is the shear modulus. These results agree semi-quanti-tatively with the experimental results on refractory b.c.c. metals at low temperatures, which indicates strongly that the plastic anisotropy in b.c.c. metals is the result of the characteristic behaviour of the screw dislocations in overcoming the Peierls potential. Mit einem k.r. z. Modellgitter wurde die Bewegung von Schraubenversetzungen unter verschiedenen Schubspannungsarten bei 0 °K durch Rechnersimulation untersucht. Der Versetzungskern bewegt sich in Zickzackform abwechselnd auf zwei {110}-Ebenen; des-halb ist die resultierende Gleitspur die {112}-Zwillingsebene fur alle Schubspannungsarten. Die berechneten Peierlsspannungen fur die Scherungen auf {110}-Ebenen, auf {112}-Ebenen in Zwillingsrichtung und auf {112}-Ebenen in Gegenzwillingsrichtung betragen 0,0025, 0,0015 bzw. 0,0027 μ, wobei μ der Schubmodul ist. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen halbquantitativ mit den experimentellen Ergebnissen an hochschmelzenden k.r. z. Metallen bei tiefen Temperaturen uberein. Dies zeigt, das die plastische Anisotropie von k.r. z. Metallen vom charakteristischen Verhalten der Schraubenversetzungen beim Uberschreiten des Peierlspotentials herruhrt.
A quantum mechanical description of vibrational motion in benzene in terms of a completely symmetrized set of complex vibrational coordinates and wave functions

In this work a fully symmetrized quantum mechanical description of vibrational motion in terms of complex vibrational coordinates and complex basis wavefunctions is outlined, designed for studying vibrational level mixing and intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) around CH stretch overtone states in benzene. Symmetrized local mode (LM) formalism has been applied to the CH stretch system, while the remaining benzene vibrations (including out-of-plane modes) were treated as normal modes (NM). Using the outlined approach a model calculation of the absorption spectrum of the first overtone state CH (n=2) at ∼6000 cm−1 has been carried out.
Date palm fibre reinforced composite as a new insulating material

Several panels of date palm leave (DPL) reinforced composites were fabricated using either autoclaving technique with vacuum bagging or press moulds with controlled temperature. Several fibre orientation and dimensions were tested. Two types of resins were selected. The first was a high temperature curing Phenolic (phenol formaldehyde) resin. The second was a two‐component Bisphenol resin with amine‐based slow curing agent. The panels exhibited very low thermal conductivities ranging between 0.17 and 0.24 W m–1 K–1 for the Phenolic resin (depending on the curing pressure) and between 0.16 and 0.20 W m–1 K–1 for the bisphenol. The main factors affecting the thermal conductivity were the resin type, fibre to resin ratio and curing pressure. The fibre orientation and size had no measurable effect on the thermal conductivity. The produced laminates were very stable to handle all required machining processes as construction panels. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
HEAT TRANSFER AND HYDRODYNAMIC INVESTIGATIONS IN A BAFFLED BUBBLE COLUMN: AIR-WATER-GLASS BEAD SYSTEM

Measurements of heat transfer coefficient between an immersed surface and surrounding two- and three-phase dispersions have been conducted as a function of gas velocity in a cylindrical bubble column equipped with either a single axial tube or a seven-tube bundle at 309 K. Gas holdup is also measured under the same conditions. In particular, the systems that have been investigated are air-water and air-water-glass beads. For the latter system, glass beads of three different sizes (50-143 μm) have been used and slurry concentration has been varied up to thirty percent by weight. It is observed that the seven-tube bundle configuration leads to higher heat transfer coefficient and gas holdup values over the entire air velocity range than the single axial tube arrangement. The influence of particle size and slurry concentration is nominal at least as long as it is less than ten weight percent. The presence of solids in the column lowers the gas holdup and raises the heat transfer coefficient. These qualitativ.
Association between Emergency Department Overcrowding and Mortality at a Teaching Hospital in Saudi Arabia

Emergency Departments (ED) are highly important in hospital settings because they offer 24-hour professional assistance to patients in need of healthcare. However, ED overcrowding has started to become a global healthcare crisis, such that the patient capacity of EDs is no longer sufficient to meet patient demand. Thus, this study aimed to determine the relationship between ED overcrowding and the mortality rate of patients to draw the attention of decision makers in Saudi Arabia toward this issue, with the hope of ultimately attaining a solution to this problem. Using patients’ electronic health records that were stored in the Quadra Med system in 2018, we calculated the occupancy rates of the ED of a target teaching hospital at different quarters and associated those figures with the mortality rates for the same quarters. Our results showed that there was no significant association between mortality rate and crowding status in the ED. Nonetheless, we recommend increasing public awareness and bed capacity at EDs in Saudi Arabia because overcrowded EDs can lead to adverse patient outcomes. The present study showed that the highest percentage (38%) of deaths that occurred during the overcrowded period were mostly of patients between 30 and 44 years of age, while patients between 60 and 74 years of age accounted for 36% of deaths. The current study also assessed patient triaging, revealing that the highest number of patients was associated with level four (62.7% of the total patients in the overcrowded ED) and level five (33.1% in the overcrowded ED) triaging. We also discovered higher levels of admission in the critical care unit during the ED overcrowding period compared with other periods.

Early Seizures in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: Incidence, Predictive Factors, and Clinical Outcome

Amaç: Serebrovasküler hastalıklar özellikle ileri yaştaki hastalarda epileptik nöbetlerin önemli nedenlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı akut iskemik inmeli hastalarda görülen erken nöbetlerin insidansını, prediktif faktörlerini ve prognoz üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada akut iskemik inmesi olan 619 hastanın dosyaları incelendi. Erken nöbetler, Uluslararası Epilepsi ile Savaş Derneği (ILAE) kriterlerine göre inmeden sonraki bir hafta içinde ortaya çıkan nöbetler olarak tanımlandı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, risk faktörleri, başvuru sırasındaki National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) skorları, serum C-reaktif protein (CRP) düzeyleri ve trombosit sayıları ile hastaların takiplerindeki modifiye Rankin Skalası (mRS) skorları ve diffüzyon ağırlıklı görüntülemede lezyon yerleşimi kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 22 (%3.6) erken nöbet geçiren (10 kadın [45.5%]; ortalama yaş, 66.55±15.3 yıl) ve 597 (%85.5) erken nöbet geçirmeyen (280 kadın [%46.9]; ortalama yaş, 69.5±13.3 yıl) hasta dahil edildi. Başvuru sırasındaki NIHSS skoru ortalaması, CRP düzeyleri ve trombosit sayıları, hastanede mortalite, izlemde mRS skoru ve rekürren inme oranları erken nöbet geçiren grupta anlamlı olarak daha yüksek idi (p<0.05). Lojistik regresyon analizinde başvuru sırasındaki NIHSS skoru, trombosit sayısı ve rekürren inme, erken nöbetler ile anlamlı olarak ilişkili bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Artmış trombosit sayısı ve başvuru sırasındaki inme şiddeti akut iskemik inme hastalarında erken nöbetler için ana risk faktörleri olarak görünmektedir.
Copper(II), Chromium(VI) and Nickel(II) Removal from Metal Plating Effluent by Electrocoagulation

The present study is on the removal of Cu(II), Cr(VI), Ni(II) from metal plating wastewater by electrocoagulation (EC) in a batch mode using aluminum (Al), iron (Fe) and stainless steel (St) electrodes. The various parameters like pH (3, 5, 7, 9), current density (30, 70, 90 A/m 2 ), electrolyte (NaCl) concentration (800, 1200 mg/L) and operation time of EC (2.5–60 min) on the removal efficiency of metals were studied. The needed operation time of EC to simultaneously provide %100 Cu, %100 Cr and 100% Ni removal at a pH of 2.42 (original) and a current density of 50 A/m 2 was 30 min. For Fe-Fe, Fe-Al pairs, 40 min. for Fe-St, Al-Al, Al-Fe, and 60 min. for Al-St, respectively. By comparing all electrode pairs with each other with respect to desired operating, Fe-St electrode pair was chosen as the optimum for the subsequent of experiments. When only Fe-St pair was used, the removal efficiencies of 100% for all metals were determined at a pH of 9, a current density of 90 A/m 2
The band structure of aluminium III. A self-consistent calculation

The main feature of the present recalculation of the band structure is a careful consideration of the potential on which it is based. An effective potential acting on a conduction electron is defined intuitively so as to include the effects of correlation and exchange. This grafts the Bohm & Pines theory of a free-electron gas (Pines 1955) on to the Hartree—Fock treatment of the effect of the ion cores. Correlation and exchange effects among the conduction and ion-core electrons have been calculated, and the variation of the potential in the regions about half-way between the atoms has also been calculated and taken into account. Achieving self-consistency in the contribution to the potential due to the conduction electrons has not been difficult. Because of various approximations, including those in the potential, the calculated energy values are judged to be correct to about 0·03 Ry. The results are found to agree satisfactorily with the model of the band structure obtained in I by noting that the effective Fermi level for electrons and holes in the band structure may not be the same due to additional correlation effects.

Studying the Relationship Between Vegetation and Physico-Chemical Properties of Soil, Case Study: Tabas Region, Iran

In order to study the relationship between vegetation and physico-chemical properties of soil of the margins of Tabas Kavir (salty desert), vegetation and soil components were surveyed. Regarding to the soil and vegetation distribution and land use in this region, four distinct areas were selected and classified covering all factors. Then, based on different vegetation cover percentage, the minimum plots necessary for validating statistical calculations were assessed. In this case, the plots equal to two fold of assessed value for maximum vegetation cover percentage, i.e 310 spots, were randomly and systematically selected and sampled. According to the observations and based on soil properties in each sampling spots, statistical calculations were done using linear regression to determine the relationship between the distribution of species and soil properties including CaSO , CaCO , gravel percentage, pH and EC. The best equation was 4 3 then selected among the 11 suggested equations. This case studied also focused on the some soil factors as variables and their effects on the growth of some plant species (Seidlitzia rosmarinus, Haloxylon aphylum, Alhagi camelorum, Tamarix sp, Prosopis srephaniana, Artemisia siberi, Salsola spp). Generally, in other similar areas like Tabas, these plant species are recommended which show resistant behaviors to such harsh conditions. More efforts should be done to realize other aspects of relationship between soil factors and plants, especially in dry lands.
Automatic Solution Summarization for Crash Bugs

The causes of software crashes can be hidden anywhere in the source code and development environment. When encountering software crashes, recurring bugs that are discussed on Q&A sites could provide developers with solutions to their crashing problems. However, it is difficult for developers to accurately search for relevant content on search engines, and developers have to spend a lot of manual effort to find the right solution from the returned results. In this paper, we present CRASOLVER, an approach that takes into account both the structural information of crash traces and the knowledge of crash-causing bugs to automatically summarize solutions from crash traces. Given a crash trace, CRASOLVER retrieves relevant questions from Q&A sites by combining a proposed position dependent similarity – based on the structural information of the crash trace – with an extra knowledge similarity, based on the knowledge from official documentation sites. After obtaining the answers to these questions from the Q&A site, CRASOLVER summarizes the final solution based on a multi-factor scoring mechanism. To evaluate our approach, we built two repositories of Java and Android exception-related questions from Stack Overflow with size of 69,478 and 33,566 questions respectively. Our user study results using 50 selected Java crash traces and 50 selected Android crash traces show that our approach significantly outperforms four baselines in terms of relevance, usefulness, and diversity. The evaluation also confirms the effectiveness of the relevant question retrieval component in our approach for crash traces.
