Bethe Ansatz Cluster Expansion Method for Quantum Integrable Particle Systems

Presented is a method, which we call Bethe ansatz cluster expansion (BACE) method, to investigate statistical mechanics of quantum integrable systems. By use of only the Bethe ansatz equation, n -particle partition functions are exactly calculated. From the expression for the partition function, the n -particle cluster integrals are derived. The results completely agree with those of the thermal Bethe ansatz (TBA) by Yang and Yang. Thus, the BACE method directly proves the validity of the TBA. Partition theory and graphical representation are used to make the presentation simple and transparent.
Linear Groups with Orders Having Certain Large Prime Divisors

In this paper we obtain a classification of those subgroups of the finite general linear group GLd (q) with orders divisible by a primitive prime divisor of qe − 1 for some e>12d . In the course of the analysis, we obtain new results on modular representations of finite almost simple groups. In particular, in the last section, we obtain substantial extensions of the results of Landazuri and Seitz on small cross‐characteristic representations of some of the finite classical groups. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 20G40; secondary 20C20, 20C33, 20C34, 20E99.

Eating habits and health status, in Aegean Islands: An adventure within the MEDIS study

There are places around the world that are characterized by high longevity rates; among these places are islands in Eastern Aegean Sea (Ikaria Island). Sparse data suggest that islanders' nutritional habits are based on both local products and the coastal transport development; however, the level of adherence to the traditional Mediterranean lifestyle is relatively unknown. This review explores eating habits and behaviors, as well as the health status of people living in Eastern Aegean Sea islands.
Cranial Neurosurgery without Hair Removal and Shampoo Care: Retrospective Analysis of 450 Cases

Goal: To assess infection rate in a population of children who underwent cranial neurosurgery without hair removal. Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical records of children undergoing cranial neurosurgery with “shampoo care” during one year. Results: 450 children were included. 5.55% of them had a wound complication, with only two cases of infection (0.4%). Available literature was revised to assess the effectiveness of our protocol. Wound complication and infections rates found in our experience were lower than those reported in patients treated with a standard trichotomy. Conclusion: Cranial neurosurgery without hair removal and “shampoo care” is an effective method to reduce infection rates. This results in a shorter hospital stay, better self-esteem and improved quality of life when the child goes back to family life and school.

An Audit of Percutaneous Gastrostomy in The Cayman Islands

Gastrostomy tube placement by the percutaneous endoscopic (PEG) technique is the current method of placing gastrostomy tubes. The technique has been used at the Cayman Islands Hospital for approximately five years. There have been no prior reports on the outcomes of PEG tube placement in this setting since its introduction. An audit of PEG placement was performed at the Cayman Islands Hospital to determine the outcomes in this setting. The hospital records of all patients who had PEG tube placements were retrospectively examined over 44 months from January 2004 to September 2007. There were 35 PEG tubes placed in 28 patients during the study period. Three patients experienced PEG specific complications (8.57%), including bleeding (1 patient), aspiration (1 patient) and PEG dislodgment (1 patient). There were no reports of wound infection, perforation, intra-abdominal sepsis or fistula formation. No early mortality was recorded within the post-operative hospitalization period that averaged 3.25 days. The case volume has increased since the procedure was introduced. Currently, 18 PEG tubes are placed per year with good success and acceptable rates of PEG-specific morbidity.
Exome Sequencing in a Family Identifies RECQL5 Mutation Resulting in Early Myocardial Infarction

Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) including myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death worldwide and is commonly caused by the interaction between genetic factors and environmental risks. Despite intensive efforts using linkage and candidate gene approaches, the genetic etiology for the majority of families with a multigenerational early CAD /MI predisposition is unknown. In this study, we used whole-exome sequencing of 10 individuals from 1 early MI family, in which 4 siblings were diagnosed with MI before the age of 55, to identify potential predisposing genes. We identified a mutation in the RECQL5 gene, 1 of the 5 members of the RECQ family which are involved in the maintenance of genomic stability. This novel mutation, which is a TG insert at position 73,626,918 on the 13 chromosome and occurs before the last nucleotide of the introns 11 acceptor splice site affecting splicing of RECQL5. RT-PCR suggested the control subject had a full-length mRNA including exon 12, but the patients with RECQL5 mutation had a shorter mRNA form involving splicing of exons 11 to 13 directly, with skipping of exon 12. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of RECQL5 exon 12 demonstrated that individuals whose genotype is mutant homozygote had only trace amounts of mRNA containing this exon and the family members who carry the heterozygous genotype had a level at 48% to 55% of the control's level. These findings provide insight into both the pathogenesis of MI and the role of RECQL5 gene in human disease.
Reported sick from school: a study into addressing medical absenteeism among students

This dissertation examines the M@ZL (Medical Advising to Students Absent Due to Illness) method, which is found to reduce absence due to illness among vmbo (lower secondary professional education) students by arranging good care, coaching and educational adjustments, if necessary. The study proves that a little less than half of the vmbo students regularly absent due to illness have been diagnosed with illnesses such as asthma, migraine, glandular fever or ADHD. Two-thirds of this group experience concurrent problems at home or at school. In more than half of the students, absence due to illness is caused by psychological or physical symptoms often combined with problems at home or at school. A personalised approach from a biopsychosocial perspective is shown to be necessary to actually help individual students. Tutors indicate that they need additional training in order for them to be able to discuss regular absence due to illness with parents and students.
A Supply of Information towards Academic Stress in Students Pursuing Pharmacy Programme in India – An Exploratory Study

Challenging stimulus can lead to positive outcomes such as motivation and improved task performance while threatening ones or distress can result in anxiety, depression and stress. The current prospective observational exploratory study was designed to assess the stressors causing academic stress in pharmacy students of India. In the study a standard stressors scale was designed with 35 questionnaires as open – ended questions to assess both the positive and negative responses of the student participants in a pharmacy institute of Andhra Pradesh. As based on hypothesis of assumption the stressors were categorized as curriculum framework and course of study, faculty and academic learning process, peer evaluation and placement cell and its activities. The study involved 603 participants out which 253 (42%) were male and 350 (58%) were female, the education qualification of the sample 94 were Diploma students, 246 were B. Pharmacy students, 103 were M. Pharmacy students and 160 were Pharm. D students including 20 students of post baccalaureate programme. In our study, the response in pharmacy students towards the stressors was found positive. In conclusion, our study was able to assess certain stressors with a help of a self-developed and administered standard stressors scale, from which the stressor component designed reported a considerable stress in pharmacy students which is negligible in regard to the sample size, but in specific it’s the responsibility of the institution and faculty team for early screening and intervention are advisable to limit and minimise the stress.
Use of and access to health care by Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes: impact of diabetes type and insulin use, 2007-2011

In 2011, about 25 percent of the Medicare fee-for-service population had diabetes. Among Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes, approximately 14 percent had type 1, 85 percent had type 2 but did not use insulin, and less than 1 percent had type 2 diabetes and used insulin to manage their condition. Between 2007 and 2011, beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes who used insulin had the highest burden of comorbidity, hospitalization rates, and allowed payment, followed by those with type 1 diabetes. Most beneficiaries with diabetes had evaluation and management visits. Most also received needed preventive care, including HbA1c and LDL* testing, and about half received an annual flu shot and eye exam. However, beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes using insulin had the lowest rates of receipt of preventive care. Most beneficiaries with diabetes visited both primary care and specialty providers. The number of providers with whom they had contact is high, indicating potential fragmentation in both primary and specialty care.
Followership among secondary school teachers

Today, it is encouraging that followership is regarded as a factor within the leadership equation. However, research attention on followership overall is limited and within the field of education, its study remains firmly in the shadows. Indeed, a search for published followership-centric research carried out in this field revealed just 17 studies worldwide, with Thody’s contribution (2003) the sole point of reference within the UK. This study contributes to this limited body of research by exploring the followership of schoolteachers working in the secondary education sector. Using Gronn’s Career Model (1999) as a framework to understand why teachers follow, the study used biographical-style interviews (n=15) to reveal factors that have shaped the agency of schoolteachers, influencing their journeys to followership. In addition, the study administered Kelley’s (1992) Followership Questionnaire in order to understand how teachers follow (n=69). Factors found to influence why teachers follow included the role of parents, schooling and of key people and these findings align with research carried out on the career journeys of senior educational leaders. In addition, the combined insight drawn from the quantitative and qualitative data revealed a predominance of exemplary followership among the teachers. The study suggests that this approach to followership is dominant among teachers due to them being engaged in leadership practice, both within and beyond the classroom. Further, that teachers’ commitment to task, enhanced through working in a profession that enables them to satisfy important personal values and beliefs, also encourages the practice of exemplary followership.
Genetic blood markers in arthritic diseases

: In the course of studying patients affected with arthritic diseases (bronchial asthma, sugar diabetes) a relationship between those diseases and the blood groups of the Hp and MN systems was established. Patients with bronchial asthma more frequently than in the controls belonged to the Hp 2-2 type and to blood groups MN and O (I), whereas the patients affected with sugar diabetes are usually of the Hp 2-1 type and belong to the belong to the blood groups MN and A(II). The investigation of patients affected with other diseases having a pathogenesis similar to that of bronchial asthma or of diabetes and the observation of healthy persons after prophylactic inoculations as well as the study of sugar metabolism in healthy persons all confirm the relationship of Hp, MN and ABO antigens with arthritic diseases.
Autotransfusion in penetrating chest war trauma with haemothorax: The Keysaney Hospital experience

Background : In 1991 civil war broke out in Somalia and Mogadishu was divided into two areas, occupied by different clans. No hospital facility was available in Mogadishu North to take care of the war wounded. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), together with the Somalia Red Crescent Society found a new building, 7 km North of the town, intended to be a prison: Keysaney Hospital was thus inaugurated in February 1992. It was soon established as The War Surgery Hospital in Somalia. Methods : This was a retrospective study. From 1992 to 2001,45,900 war-wounded patients were admitted and treated; among whom 13770 had chest injuries. Due to lack of a blood bank, insufficient number of donors, continuous need in emergency, life threatening situations and following previous positive experiences, a system was set up for immediate auto transfusion in patients with massive haemothorax from penetrating chest war wounds. To reduce the risk of the 2 major complications of sepsis and coagulopathy, each patient received antibiotic prophylaxis and only cases with a maximum delay of one hour were subjected to this form of management. Results : 137 patients had this kind of auto transfusion. There were five deaths (3.6% Mortality rate) No major complications were detected in the auto-transfused patients that survived. Key words : Auto transfusion, penetrating, chest, war wounds and haemothorax.
MANAGEMENT OF ANESTRUS AND SUBESTRUS COWS USING HORMONAL AND NON-HORMONAL DRUGS

A total of 57 anestrus/subestrus crossbred cows were divided in to three treatment groups, each of 13, 13 and 23 cows, keeping 8 cows as untreated control. Thirteen true anestrus cows were treated with nutritional supplements for 15 days and another 13 with single dose of GnRH 20 μg i/m, while 23 subestrus cows were treated with single dose of PGF2 500 μg i/m. Animals detected in estrus were inseminated artificially. The estrus induction response for the 3 groups was 76.92, 84.62 and 91.30 %, with the mean interval of 26.70±4.52, 28.27±6.46 and 3.52±0.46 days (P<0.01), respectively. The estrus response (50 %) and estrus interval (48.25±10.80 days) of untreated control group were significantly (P<0.05) lower as compared to all treatment groups. Of the responded cows, 70.00, 72.73 and 71.43 % conceived within 3 cycles as against 50 % conception in control group. The conception rates at induced estrus in 3 groups were 40.00, 18.18 and 52.38 %, respectively.
Visual tracking and recognition based on robust locality preserving projection

Unlike conventional video-based face recognition systems, in which the tracking and recognition are considered as two independent components, this paper presents a new integrated framework for simultaneously tracking and recognizing human faces. In this framework, tracking and recognition modules share the same appearance manifold. During training, because locally linear embedding (LLE) can detect the meaningful hidden structure of the nonlinear face manifold, LLE combined with K-means is employed to assign face images of every individual into clusters to construct view specific submanifolds. To improve the robustness of tracking and recognition, robust locality-preserving projection is developed to obtain linear subspaces that approximate the nonlinear submanifolds. Dynamics is also learned during this period. During testing, to reduce the great computational load, the integrated posterior probability is partitioned into two independent probabilities, which are obtained by a particle filter and by maximum posterior estimation by Bayesian inference, respectively. Extensive experimental results show that our proposed framework is effective for tracking and recognition under significant variations in pose, facial expression, and illumination and under scale variations and partial occlusion.
Mental Health and Women's Multiple Roles

The author reviews the empirical literature concerning the relationship of women's multiple roles to mental health. A conceptual framework is proposed postulating that negative mental health outcomes may result from high levels of stress and demands across roles and a low level of agency or control over those demands. Suggestions for future research within this model as well as implications for clinical practice are presented.
Identification and prereferral care for patients with chronic kidney disease by Nigerian family medicine trainee

Background: The family physician is usually the first contact between patients and the health care system at the tertiary level, and they play an important role in the screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD), treatment of reversible causes, and timely referral to the nephrologist. We do not know if the future family physician in Nigeria is prepared for this important role, prompting us to carry out this study. Materials and Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were given to family medicine trainees attending a nationally organized revision course. Results: Two hundred questionnaires were distributed and 172 were returned Guidelines for the management of CKD were correctly identified by only 18% of the participants. The screening methods that were identified for CKD included urinalysis (43.6%), serum creatinine alone (72.7%), estimation of glomerular filtration rate (70.3%), and renal ultrasound (30.5%). Less than 50% were aware of the recommended frequency of screening for diabetic and elderly patients while less than 25% were aware of coronary artery disease and stroke as complications of CKD. After a diagnosis of CKD, 40.4% would refer immediately to the nephrologist, while 33%, 13%, and 2% would use the serum creatinine level alone, estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and clinical features, respectively, as guides in taking decisions on referral. Conclusion: A good number of the participants had poor knowledge in the aspects of identification of patients with CKD, initial evaluation of such patients and eventual referral to nephrologists. Concerted efforts are needed to improve this knowledge in the family physician trainees of Nigeria.

The Simplified Predictive Intubation Difficulty Score: a new weighted score for difficult airway assessment

Background and objective Using the Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) more than 5 as a standardized definition of difficult intubation, we propose a new score to predict difficult intubation: the Simplified Predictive Intubation Difficulty Score (SPIDS). Methods We prospectively studied 1024 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia. Using bivariate and multivariable analysis, we established risk factors of difficult intubation. Then, we assigned point values to each of the adjusted risk factors, their sum composing the SPIDS. We assessed its predictive accuracy using sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), and compared it with the corresponding nonweighted score. The optimal predictive level of the SPIDS was determined using ROC curve analysis. Results We found five adjusted risk factors for IDS more than 5: pathological conditions associated with difficult intubation (malformation of the face, acromegaly, cervical rheumatism, tumours of the airway, and diabetes mellitus), mouth opening less than 3.5 cm, a ratio of patient's height to thyromental distance 25 at least, head and neck movement less than 80°, and Mallampati 2 at least. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of the SPIDS were 65, 76, 14 and 97%, respectively. AUC of the SPIDS and the nonweighted score (obtained previously using a stepwise logistic regression) were respectively 0.78 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.72–0.84] and 0.69 (95% CI 0.64–0.73). The threshold for an optimal predictive level of the SPIDS was above 10 of 55. Conclusion The SPIDS seems easy to perform, and by weighting risk factors of difficult intubation, it could help anaesthesiologists to plan a difficult airway management strategy. A value of SPIDS strictly above 10 could encourage the anaesthesiologists to plan for the beginning of the anaesthetic induction with ‘alternative’ airway devices ready in the operating theatre.
