Macrocytosis in COPD and Course of the Disease

INTRODUCTION: Macrocytosis (MCV>94fl) is frequently observed at patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with or without respiratory insufficiency. Recent studies have demonstrated the role of erythropoietin massive excretion subsequent to hypoxemia as a trigger factor in excessive marrow erythropoiesis. Thus, a large number of immature red cells are released in peripheral blood leading to macrocytosis. AIM: To determine possible correlation between macrocytosis and severity of he disease in patients with COPD. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty eight patients (mean age: 62,16±10,88 years, twenty nine male-Group A and nine female-Group B) with COPD were attended regarding their clinical status for one year, diagnosed according to spirometric classification of COPD based on post-bronchodilator FEV1 (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, 2006). All patients were smokers suffered from mild or moderate COPD (FEV1/FVC <0,70, FEV1≥50% predicted, with PaO2 more than 60mmHg). MCV and hematocrit were measured separately for male and female additionally to the whole sample. Exacerbations considered to be happen when dyspnea or PaO2<60mmHg occurred. Patients with anemia, hematological malignancy, hypothyroidism, heart or renal failure and diabetes mellitus excluded. RESULTS: Mean value for MCV was 98,84±2,66 fl (range:95–107 fl). Average for Group A estimated at 99,52±2,92 (range: 95–107) and for Group B at 96,87±1,40 (range: 95–99). Mean value of exacerbations for both groups in one’s year period was 0,89±0,61 (range :0–2), that was not significantly different from those concerning Group A and Group B (0,79±0,60, 1,22±0,74 respectively). Inverse correlation between MCV and number of exacerbations was statistically significant (r = − 0,43, p<0,01). That correlation was more apparent for Group A (r = −0,45, p<0,01) than Group B (r = −0,35, p<0,05). Mean value of hematocrit was determined at 45,92 ± 3,77 (range: 40–54). Correlation between MCV and Ht was not significant (r=0,2). CONCLUSIONS: An unexpected result revealed considering that elevated MCV in patients with mild to moderate COPD correlates with fewer exacerbations of the disease. A game of statistics or something more important for the pathophysiology of mild COPD?
Compositions of Dust and Sea Salts in the Dome C and Dome Fuji Ice Cores From Last Glacial Maximum to Early Holocene Based on Ice‐Sublimation and Single‐Particle Measurements

We analyzed the chemical compositions of dust and sea‐salt particles in the EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core during 26–7 kyr BP using an ice‐sublimation technique and compared the results with existing data of the Dome Fuji (DF) ice core. Combined with ion concentration data, our data suggested similar sea‐salt fluxes in both cores and significantly lower dust flux in the EDC core. The differences in modal size and aspect ratio of dust particles between the two cores support the dominance of Patagonian source suggested by earlier works. The compositions of calcic dust showed major change at ~17 kyr BP, possibly reflecting a relative increase in dust transported via the upper troposphere. The calcium sulfate fraction was higher in the DF core than in the EDC core after ~17 kyr BP, suggesting that higher Patagonian dust contribution to the DF region. Abundant NaCl particles were found in the DF core in comparison with the EDC core from the LGM to early Holocene, possibly because of the high concentration of terrestrial dust in the DF core that reduced acid availability for sea‐salt modification. During the Holocene, the lower NaCl fraction and Cl−/Na+ ratio in the EDC core suggested that most Cl− was lost to the atmosphere from snow at Dome C, while it was preserved at Dome Fuji as NaCl and solid solution.
The Effect of Prophetic Leadership, Organizational Culture on Employee Engagement At sufism-based Islamic Boarding School

Pesantren is the oldest Islamic education institution in Indonesia and even in the world. The pesantren has become a very rapidly developing religious education institution. Employee engagement in pesantren is very rarely studied in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prophetic leadership and organizational culture on employee engagement in Sufism-based Islamic boarding schools. This study used 230 employees in sufism-based islamic boarding schools. The results show that prophetic leadership has a significant and positive effect on employee engagement. Organizational culture also has a significant and positive effect on employee engagement. The implication of this study shows that prophetic leadership has a great influence on employee engagement in sufism based Islamic boarding schools.
CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH SUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGE SUBJECTED TO DIGITAL SUBTRACTION ANGIOGRAPHY IN AL-HUSSEIN NEURO-INTERVENTION UNIT

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) refers to bleeding that occurs primarily within the subarachnoid space, in between cases of spontaneous SAH and rupture of an intracranial saccular aneurysm accounts for approximately 85%. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess clinical presentation, risk factors and the etiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage in a sample of Egyptian patients, and also assess the outcome of endovascular management and complications. Patients and Methods: The study was carried out on patients with SAH who were subjected to endovascular neuro-intervention unit in AL-Hussein University Hospital, including patients with SAH retrospectively from 2006 to 2018, and the newly diagnosed patients during 2019. Results: During the period from May 2006 to May 2019, 560 patients with SAH has been admitted. 136 patients (24.2%) were excluded from the study as they were critically ill. Their Hunt and Hess score were 4 to 5. Also, another 51 has been excluded due to missed files or discharge against medical advice. The remaining 373 patients. 145 patients were angiographically free, Patients with aneurysm were 228 patients, 77 patients died before therapeutic endovascular treatment as they delayed due to financial troubles, The remaining patients were 151, The most common type of aneurysm between those patients was anterior communicating aneurysm (27.8%), then MCA aneurysm (17.8%), posterior communicating artery aneurysm (13.9%), para-ophthalmic artery aneurysm (6.6 %), basilar artery aneurysm (5.9%), posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm (6.4%), supraclinoid carotid artery aneurysm (3.1%), peri callossal artery aneurysm (3.3%), T carotid artery aneurysm (7.2%), superior cerebellar artery aneurysm (1.9%), inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm (2.6%) and multiple aneurysms (6.6%). The complications of endovascular treatment in studied patients occurred in 13 patients (3.4%) in the form of aneurysmal rupture, coil displacement, hydrocephalus and vessel rupture. Conclusion: Cerebral catheter angiography is a safe, feasible and efficacious procedure. The new technique in the endovascular management of the cerebral aneurysm as balloon or stent assisted technique and flow diverter stent is greatly reducing the complication rate and making the outcome is very promising.
Comparison of Six-Month Patency Rate in Ulnar-Basilic Fistula and Radio-Cephalic Fistula for Hemodialysis Access

Background and Objectives: There are different types of vascular access. We compared the patency rate for six months in ulnar-basilic fistula and Radio-Cephalic fistula for vascular access in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The study was performed on 60 patients of 50.6±13.5 years of age with end-stage renal failure undergoing hemodialysis from 2012-2014 in Imam Ali hospital in Zahedan. Patients were divided into two groups. The first group was established anastomosis of wrist radial artery and the cephalic vein and in second group between ulnar artery and vein Basilic in the forearm. Both groups were followed up with respect to patency of the fistula for six-month. Findings: The mean duration of renal failure requiring transplantation among patients was 1.4±1.0 year. The frequency of patency after six months in ulnar-basilic fistulas was less than that in Radio-Cephalic group, however, the difference was not significant (76% vs. 70%, P > 0.05). All fistulas in two groups showed thrill, except one patient (3.3%) in ulnar-basilic group (primary failure). Hypertension was detected in one patient in Radio-Cephalic group, moreover, hematoma was observed in two patients in ulnar-basilic and in two patients in Radio-Cephalic groups and thrombosis was observed in two patients in ulnar-basilic and in a single patient in Radio-Cephalic groups. The aneurism was observed in three patients (10%) in ulnar-basilic and in four patients in Radio-Cephalic fistulas. The steal syndrome was observed in two patients in Radio-Cephalic group, infection in one patient (3.3%) in ulnar-basilic fistulas group and in four patients (13.3%) in Radio-Cephalic group. Conclusions: Fistula patency rates were comparable in both ulnar-basilic and Radio-Cephalic groups and there is no significant evidence of postoperative complication difference between two groups.

Influences of affective processing and emotional context on neural activation during cognitive control from adolescence through adulthood

Emotion processing and cognitive control show marked development through adolescence, during which these systems have an enhanced effect on decision-making. Past studies have shown increased engagement of emotion-related regions in adolescents compared to adults during tasks eliciting different moods on a trial-by-trial basis, but few studies have examined state-related effects of emotion. Here, we investigated age-related changes in effects of emotional state on cognitive control using background connectivity, in which task-based signals are removed from fMRI data to examine spontaneous background fluctuations in neural activity. 50 participants completed a standard antisaccade fMRI task in a 3T scanner. Each trial included a positive, negative, or neutral sound that played before and during each trial. All subjects also completed a 5-minute resting state scan in the same session. Outside of the scanner, all subjects completed valence and arousal ratings of all sounds. Data were preprocessed using a standard preprocessing pipeline including wavelet despiking. Resting state data additionally underwent bandpass filtering and global signal regression. To obtain background connectivity data, task-related effects were estimated and then removed using multiple linear regression. Across subjects, latency significantly decreased with increasing age in negative trials, while the percentage of correct responses significantly increased in silent trials. The negative sounds were also perceived as more “arousing” in adults compared to adolescents. Using a bilateral amygdala seed to examine whole-brain background connectivity, increasing age was associated with increasing connectivity to brain regions with the dorsal attention network and salience network, among others. Resting state connectivity analyses revealed no significant age-related changes in amygdala background connectivity with these brain regions. This study suggests that negative affective stimuli may be more salient to adults, which may have a beneficial effect on their behavioral performance. Additionally, this may indicate increased emotional awareness in adults, as compared to adolescents, which may be driven by the development of connectivity between the amygdala and various cortical regions through this period.
Assessment of Purity Parameters of Generic and Brand Name Losartan Potassium

Generic products must be bioequivalent to the innovator brand product. Nevertheless, in addition to meeting bioequivalence standards, attention must be paid to the content of the active substance and contaminants in generic drugs. This study compared the pharmaceutical quality of four generic losartan potassium formulations with the brand-name product: Cozaar®. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) losartan potassium standard was used as reference material. The products tested (all 50 mg formulations) included four generic tablet formulations and the innovator brand product Cozaar®. Active substance content, organic impurities, and elemental impurities were assessed following the USP monograph for losartan potassium tablets and USP Chapter <233> on Elemental Impurities. The results showed that three of the four generic products had low content of the active ingredient. The values ranged from 86.4 to 93.8%, being acceptable not below 95% of the labeled amount. Organic impurities were not detected in any of the products, and of the 13 elemental impurities tested, only four elements were detected. The elemental impurities Cr, Ni, Cu, and As were, however, in amounts within the limits established by the USP monograph. The only concern on the generic drugs analyzed was the low content of the active ingredient in 75% of the products. Since losartan is a drug of continuous use, lower content of the active ingredient may go unnoticed by the users of the generic product and entailed clinical consequences during long-term therapy.

Perception of synthesized /na/ by Korean listeners

Previous research reported that Korean nasal consonants can be denasalized in wordinitial position. This study examined the perception of word-initial nasal onset /n/ for native Korean listeners using synthesized /Ca/ stimuli with a Klatt synthesizer. We tested the effects of consonant duration, consonant nasality, and vowel nasalization on perception. In a rating experiment, listeners evaluated the goodness of the stimuli as /na/ on a seven-point scale. The participants generally gave favorable ratings to the stimuli with nasalized vowels. Two-thirds of the participants responded that the stimuli with no nasality are good exemplars of /na/, whereas the other listeners did not. In a yes-no experiment, participants judged if the stimuli were /na/ or not. They responded in similar ways they did in the rating experiment. Many listeners gave positive responses as /na/ even to the stimuli with 0 voice onset time, yet the stimuli with longer prevoicing or nasal murmur were more likely to be perceived as /na/. Vowel nasality affected the perception of /na/, while some listeners preferred oral vowels over the nasalized vowels when they evaluated the /na/-likeness.
On the Event-Triggered Controller Design

The majority of event-triggered control (ETC) literature concentrates on designing triggering rule while assuming control input to emulate an analog design. In this article, however, both state and output feedback laws are jointly synthesized with the triggering law for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. In the proposed method, the dominant eigenvalues of the linear stability matrices are assigned according to desired performance and triggering specifications. The results serve as a local framework for stability of general nonlinear ETC systems. The efficiency of design is validated through compelling examples.
Representation of task episodes in human cortical networks

Abstract Task episodes consist of sequences of steps that are performed to achieve a goal. The current study used fMRI to examine which regions of the brain represent full episodes, items, and current step. Participants learned 6 tasks each consisting of 4 steps. Inside the scanner, participants were cued which task to perform and then sequentially identified the target item of each step in the correct order. The multiple demand (MD) network and the visual cortex exhibited phasic responses to each task step, suggesting that they are sensitive to the fine structure of the episode. In contrast, default mode (DMN) regions showed a phasic response predominantly to onset of the entire task episode. Beyond these phasic responses, gradually increasing activity across each task episode was seen throughout most of the brain. Representational similarity analysis of episode and item coding revealed a significant dissociation between MD and DMN networks. Compared to MD regions, which showed strong coding of individual items but not the entire episode, the DMN showed representation of both item and episode, with coding for the episode localized to the parahippocampal cortex. The data hint that the most abstract level of task structure may be encoded in medial frontal cortex.
Older adults’ integration in the labour market: a global view

Abstract What governs labour force participation in later life and why is it so different across countries? Health and labour force participation in older ages are not strongly linked, but we observe a large variation across countries in old-age labour force participation. This points to the important role of country-specific regulations governing pension receipt and old-age labour force participation. In addition to the statutory eligibility age for a pension, such country-specific regulations include: earnings tests that limit the amount of earnings when pension benefits are received; the amount of benefit deductions for early retirement; the availability of part-time pensions before normal retirement; special regulations that permit early retirement for certain population groups; and either subsidies or extra costs for employers if they keep older employees in their labour force. This paper asks two questions: Can we link a relatively low labour force participation at ages 60–64 to country-specific regulations that make early retirement attractive? and Can we link a relatively high labour force participation at ages 65–74 to country-specific regulations that make late retirement attractive? To answer these questions, we compared the experiences in a set of developed countries around the world in order to understand better the impact of country-specific rules and laws on work and retirement behaviour at older ages and, by consequence, on the financial sustainability of pension systems.
EVALUATION OF THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN THE SEVERITY OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE AND SERUM LEVELS OF URIC ACID OR FETUINA UNDERGOING CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY

It has been proposed that uric acid (UA) and FetuinA (FA) are independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CAD). UA is the end-product of purine metabolism and is considered an endogenous antioxidant. FA is a protein secreted by the liver; acting as an inhibitor of coronary artery calcification. The aim of the present investigation was to survey the association between severity of CAD and sera UA or FA. Materials & Methods: Subjects (n=83) undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled. According to angiographic results, the subjects were divided into: Control (CTL; n=21; age 55±8.9 years), one vessel obstruction (1VD; n=20; 57±10.1 years) and multi-vessel obstruction (Multi VD; n=42; 65.4±9.7 years). FA level were determined by ELISA. Clinical biochemical parameters were assayed by routine laboratory methods. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS package (version 22). Results: Serum UA levels in multi VD and 1VD were higher than that of CTL group (P=0.05). FA levels slightly declined with the severity of CAD (P=0.23). Multi-regression analysis revealed that age, BMI, HDL-C, glucose and Hb were associated with the severity of CAD. It was also found that UA is independent for the prevalence of CAD. Conclusions: Considering the small sampling size, this study demonstrates that increasing UA levels is associated with the severity of CAD and is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of CAD. Regarding the impact of FA on the severity of CAD, further studies with larger sample size and the implementation of a scoring system for degree of artery calcification are deemed necessary
