The Cu2Sb and related structures

Crystal structure / CU2Shtype Abstract.It is observed that neither inspection of z values, consideration of near-neighbour coordination, nor chemical considerations show in all cases whichatom occupies site 2(ci)and which site 2(cn) ofthe CUzSbtP6 structure. Calculation of the Wirkungsbereiche by the Dirichlet construction shows indisputably which site is which. Assignments are made for all phases whose z valueshave been determined. Separation ofphases with the CUzSbstructure into two groups is effected on chemical considerations and observed physical properties. Wirkungsbereiche,near-neighbour coordination, and framework descrip- tions ofthe structure are discussed, as well as related derived structure types. Stabilityand availability ofthe structure is discussed in relation to the number of valency electrons provided by the component atoms.
Determination of the Parameters of Langmuir-Type Isotherms by the Frontal Analysis Method. Some Identification Aspects

The applicability of the classical frontal analysis method for the estimation of the parameters of various Langmuirian-type adsorption isotherms was examined. Elution profiles corresponding to several adsorption models were simulated using the equilibrium/dispersive model of chromatography. A noise sequence was added to the calculated profiles to simulate the detector error, following which the isotherm parameters were derived back from the generated chromatograms. The uncertainty of the estimates is discussed critically in terms of the standard deviations from the mean and real values of the parameters.
Impact of Axial Profile of the Gain Medium on the Mode Instability in Lasers: Regular Versus Tapered Fibers

Mode instability in fiber lasers and amplifiers represents the temporal variations of mode content with typical bandwidth of few kHz. This detrimental phenomenon leads to the degradation of М2 and to substantial growth of intensity noise observed after spatial filtering. The modal instability thus prevents the scaling of output power with high beam quality. The basic mechanism behind this instability originates from the mode coupling in the periodic grating in a fiber core formed owing to intermodal interference. Among the techniques proposed for instability suppression, it should primarily be mentioned an efficient thermal management of the gain fiber combined with dynamic modulation of excitation [1].
Asphaltene Molecular Size and Structure

The rotational correlation times of individual asphaltene molecules have been determined using fluorescence depolarization techniques, addressing an active, long-standing controversy. Using simple theoretical models and using model-independent comparisons with known chromophores, a range of asphaltene molecular diameters is obtained of 10−20 A. Comparison with corresponding data of known chromophores indicates a molecular mass for asphaltene molecules of 500−1000 amu. Furthermore, we have performed the first direct measurement correlating molecular size with constituent chromophore size; we establish that the bulk of asphaltene molecules possess 1 or 2 (aromatic) chromophores per molecule. Similar results are found for the largest aromatic molecules of the de-asphaltened crude oil.
Do Internal Government Auditors (Always) Follow Audit Standards? A Case Study in Goverment Internal Auditor Office Chapter Aceh

This study was aimed at measuring and evaluating the compliance of Aparat Pengawas Internal Pemerintah (or Government Internal Auditors, hereafter GIAs) on the used audit standards in Indonesia. This case study research was carried out in Aceh provincial GIA office. The data is collected from survey and semi-structured interviews with key officers in the studied GIA office. To analyse and discuss the research findings, this paper employs the Milgram’s Obedience Theory (1963). This study found that most of the GIA follows the audit standards. However, there are two audit standards that mainly were not followed by the auditors i.e. the supervisor review of the produced Auditing Worksheet and timely completion of Audit Report. This study also found factors that determine of the obedience of GIAs to the audit standards, namely auditor responsibility, colleague/other audtior upports, competency of GIAs, organizational commitment, and task complexity.
Aggregates of cyanine dyes: photographic problems

The aggregation of cyanine dyes on the surfaces of AgHal microcrystals is examined. It is shown that the photochemical activity of the aggregates in processes involving the spectral sensitisation of photographic materials is determined to a large extent by the occurrence of secondary dark reactions in which photoelectrons recombine with dye holes - the so-called type II dye self-desensitisation processes. The inhibition of the self-desensitisation of dyes increases the effectiveness of the spectral sensitisation, i.e. leads to supersensitisation. The principal mechanisms of the supersensitisation of photographic emulsions are discussed. The bibliography includes 149 references.
Rectus abdominis muscle with different abdominal pathologies: A cite to myofascial trigger point

Dear Editor, I read the article, “Relation between uterine morphology and the severity of primary dysmenorrhea”(1) with interest. Although the etiologic factors in primary dysmenorrhea are covered in the article, the role of muscle structures in etiology is not mentied. In this article, we would like to discuss the rectus abdominis muscle and its myofascial trigger point (MTrP), which is another underdiagnosed cause of primary dysmenorrhea and abdominal wall pain. The rectus abdominis muscle extends from the pubic symphysis and tubercle as a beam and ends at the anterolateral aspect of the xiphoid process and superiorly in three fragments of the costal cartilages of the ribs 5-7(2). The rectus abdominis muscle facilitates flexion of the trunk and stabilizes the pelvis. Contributing to the increased abdominal pressure with other abdominal muscles, it also plays a role in micturition, defecation, vomiting, and childbirth. MTrPs of the rectus abdominis muscle have been associated with pathologies such as pain in the abdominal wall and primary dysmenorrhea(3,4). Primary dysmenorrhea is a frequently encountered condition that reduces the quality of life of the patient and considerably impacts the economy of the healthcare system. Primary dysmenorrhea is a recurrent, cramping pain in the lower abdomen occurring during menstruation without any pelvic pathology(3). Medical treatments, yoga, pilates and stretching exercises, massage techniques for soft tissues, and invasive approaches can be used to treat primary dysmenorrhea(3). According to the literature, Gaubeca-Gilarranz et al.(3) administered placebo-controlled dry needle treatment for MTrP of the rectus abdominis muscle in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. Moreover, Huang and Liu(5) performed local anesthetic injection therapy to treat the MTrPs of the rectus abdominis and oblique muscles in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. As observed by physicians, abdominal pain has been most frequently associated with intraabdominal pathologies. Therefore, numerous consultations and tests are required, and abdominal surgeries are occasionally performed, although the necessity thereof is debatable(1). When patients cannot find a remedy for their pain, they visit various clinics for examinations, and certain patients are considered to have psychiatric disorders. In fact, MTrP of the rectus abdominis muscle causes abdominal wall pain. Muscolino EJ detected the MTrP of the rectus abdominis muscle in a patient with Crohn’s disease who had a complex history of medical treatments and clinical courses(4). A stretching exercise program for the relevant muscle was used to treat this patient. The diagnosis of MTrP is under-recognized in clinical practice. On examination, the possibility of MTrP localization in each muscle should be considered. MTrPs of the rectus abdominis and related muscles can have different clinical manifestations. These patients should be thoroughly evaluated and appropriate treatment modalities should be used. Therefore, randomized
ULTRAVIOLET SOLAR RADIATION IN THE HIGH LATITUDES OF SOUTH AMERICA

Abstract Measurements of the UV solar irradiance are available from Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego during the spring and summer seasons of 4 consecutive years beginning in 1989. In addition, column ozone amounts derived from satellite‐based measurements exist for this location over the entire period from 1980 through 1991. Monthly mean column ozone over Ushuaia shows a general decline over the observing period, and a large day‐to‐day variability exists within a given month. Ozone amounts for the years 1980 through 1986 combined with a model of radiative transfer provide a climatological baseline against which to interpret the more recent ground‐based irradiance data. We focus on monthly mean noontime irradiances integrated over 5 nm wide spectral bands near 305 nm and 340 nm, respectively. Measurements in the 340 nm band show that cloudiness has a large influence on both the absolute monthly mean irradiances and their interannual variability. For example, during December the 340 nm band irradiance varied from approximately 50% of the clear‐sky value in 1992 to 65% in 1991. When the influence of cloudiness is removed, most of the months show irradiances in the 305 nm band that are larger than predicted from the climatological ozone amounts. The largest percentage enhancement occurred in October 1991 when the irradiance exceeded the baseline by 56%. The largest absolute irradiances occur in December, where the measurements range from 5.8% below the baseline in 1991 to 31% above in 1990.
SSRgenotyper: A simple sequence repeat genotyping application for whole‐genome resequencing and reduced representational sequencing projects

PREMISE Many programs can identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs in genomic data. SSRgenotyper extends SSR identification to en masse genotyping from resequencing data for diversity panels and linkage mapping populations. METHODS AND RESULTS SSRgenotyper will find and genotype SSRs from SAM files and an SSR reference FASTA. Several outputs are possible, including a simple table with the SSR marker name, position, and SSR alleles, defined by the repeat number of the repeat motif. Specific output files include a GENEPOP‐formatted file for downstream genetic diversity analyses and a traditional A, H, B mapping file output that is phased to the parents of the population for biparental linkage map construction. Linkage maps produced using SSRgenotyper genotypes were highly collinear with physical maps and correctly inferred known phylogenies. CONCLUSIONS SSRgenotyper provides an easy‐to‐use, accurate, and scalable SSR genotyping platform for whole‐genome resequencing data. SSRgenotyper is freely available at https://github.com/dlewis27/SSRgenotyper.
Hormonal Receptors, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-2 and Triple Negative Immunohistochemical Typing in Women with Breast Cancer in Kampala, Uganda

Background The expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) has been reported to have an invaluable prognostic role. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of ER, PR and HER2 in women with breast cancer (BC) in Kampala, Uganda. Methods Expression of ER, PR and HER2 was determined immunohistochemically. Logistic regression was performed to determine the effect of the independent factors in predicting the risk of not expressing the breast markers. A two-tailed p<0.05 was regarded to be statistically significant. Results ER, PR and HER2 were expressed in 53.4%, 46.6% and 18.5%, respectively. ER and PR co-expression was present in 42.7% and 37.9% patients had triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Age was an independent predictor of expression of ER (AOR = 0.18, 95% CI = 0.062–0.541, p = 0.002) and PR (AOR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.129–0.968, p = 0.043). Conclusion The majority of patients in this study had less than 50 years with high tumour grade. Interestingly, most of them had high expression of HER2 with TNBC which are molecular subtypes of BC with poor prognosis. Age was an independent predictor of expression of both ER and PR.
A global food plant dataset for wild silkmoths and hawkmoths and its use in documenting polyphagy of their caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Bombycoidea: Saturniidae, Sphingidae)

Abstract Background Herbivorous insects represent a major fraction of global biodiversity and the relationships they have established with their food plants range from strict specialists to broad generalists. Our knowledge of these relationships is of primary importance to basic (e.g. the study of insect ecology and evolution) and applied biology (e.g. monitoring of pest or invasive species) and yet remains very fragmentary and understudied. In Lepidoptera, caterpillars of families Saturniidae and Sphingidae are rather well known and considered to have adopted contrasting preferences in their use of food plants. The former are regarded as being rather generalist feeders, whereas the latter are more specialist. New information To assemble and synthesise the vast amount of existing data on food plants of Lepidoptera families Saturniidae and Sphingidae, we combined three major existing databases to produce a dataset collating more than 26,000 records for 1256 species (25% of all species) in 121 (67%) and 167 (81%) genera of Saturniidae and Sphingidae, respectively. This dataset is used here to document the level of polyphagy of each of these genera using summary statistics, as well as the calculation of a polyphagy score derived from the analysis of Phylogenetic Diversity of the food plants used by the species in each genus.
Prognostic and therapeutic considerations of antibodies against c‐ter apolipoprotein A‐1 in the general population

Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A1 (anti‐apoA1 IgGs) and its C‐terminal region (cter apoA1) have emerged as an independent biomarker for cardiovascular disease. Cter apoA1 mimetic peptides were shown to reverse the deleterious anti‐apoA1 IgG effects in vitro. We evaluated the association of anti‐cter apoA1 IgGs with overall mortality in the general population and tested the ability of a cter apoA1 mimetic peptide to reverse the anti‐apoA1 IgG‐induced inflammatory response and mortality in vitro and in vivo, respectively.
Prone position ventilation and femoro‐femoral veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for COVID‐19 treatment

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Approximately 5% of COVID‐19 patients who suffer from pneumonia develop critical respiratory failure. Here, we report the case of a healthy 52‐year‐old man who had respiratory failure owing to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and was treated using femoro‐femoral veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO) and prone position ventilation (PPV). After this treatment, his blood oxygen levels, chest high‐resolution computed tomography findings, and clinical parameters significantly improved. He was decannulated from VV‐ECMO on day 6 and finally extubated on day 11. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SARS‐CoV‐2‐associated acute respiratory distress syndrome that was successfully treated with a combination of femoro‐femoral VV‐ECMO and PPV.
Trauma exposure therapy in a pregnant woman suffering from complex posttraumatic stress disorder after childhood sexual abuse: risk or benefit?

ABSTRACT Background: Mental disorders during pregnancy are common and affect the health of mother and child. Despite a relatively high prevalence rate, treatment options have not been investigated systematically. Particularly symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may increase significantly during the course of pregnancy. However, proper guidelines for psychotherapeutic treatment of PTSD during pregnancy do not exist. Objective: In this article, we aimed at discussing the effects of untreated PTSD on pregnancy and postpartum mother-child bonding as well as exposure therapy during pregnancy. Method: To do so, we present the case of a pregnant woman with complex PTSD following childhood sexual abuse. At the time of hospitalization, the patient was pregnant in the second trimester and reported intrusive re-experiencing of the traumatic events, nightmares, anxiety and helplessness as well as an impairing level of irritability during social situations. After a careful discussion of the case within our department and at the annual conference of the German Association of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, we decided to treat the patient with dialectical behavior therapy for PTSD (DBT-PTSD) including exposure therapy under the regular observation of a gynecologist. Psychometric measurements (Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS) and Borderline Symptom- List-23 (BSL-23) were used to observe the course of treatment regarding common PTSD-symptoms and disturbances in self-organization (DSO). Results: The intensity of intrusions and hyperarousal increased from the date of admission, reached the maximum when exposure started and decreased below baseline-level at the end of treatment. Avoidance behavior continually decreased from the beginning until the end of therapy. Decreased BSL-23 values show major improvements regarding DSO. To our knowledge, the course of pregnancy was not affected by treatment-induced psychological and physical symptoms.Conclusions: DBT- PTSD is a potential treatment option for patients suffering from PTSD during pregnancy. Yet, further (epigenetic) research in this field is urgently needed. HIGHLIGHTS • Exposure-based DBT-PTSD is a potential treatment option during pregnancy. • Within this context, exposure-induced psychological distress and its potential (epigenetic) effects on the unborn child should be considered. • On the other hand, the risk of impaired postpartum mother-child bonding due to untreated PTSD symptoms has to be taken into account. • Future research should focus on case-control studies to investigate transgenerational epigenetic changes in mothers and their children with regard to long-term child development.
Relationship between MUTYH, OGG1 and BRCA1 mutations and mRNA expression in breast and ovarian cancer predisposition

The aetiology of breast and ovarian cancer (BC/OC) is multi-factorial. At present, the involvement of base excision repair (BER) glycosylases (MUTYH and OGG1) in BC/OC predisposition is controversial. The present study investigated whether germline mutation status and mRNA expression of two BER genes, MUTHY and OGG1, were correlated with BRCA1 in 59 patients with BC/OC and 50 matched population controls. In addition, to evaluate the relationship between MUTYH, OGG1 and BRCA1, their possible mutual modulation and correlation among mutational spectrum, gene expression and demographic characteristics were evaluated. The results identified 18 MUTYH and OGG1 variants, of which 4 were novel (2 MUTYH and 2 OGG1) in 44 of the 59 patients. In addition, two pathogenic mutations were identified: OGG1 p.Arg46Gln, detected in a patient with BC and a family history of cancer, and MUTYH p.Val234Gly in a patient with OC, also with a family history of cancer. A significant reduced transcript expression in MUTYH was observed (P=0.033) in cases, and in association with the presence of rare variants in the same gene (P=0.030). A significant correlation in the expression of the two BER genes was observed in cases (P=0.004), whereas OGG1 and BRCA1 was significantly correlated in cases (P=0.001) compared with controls (P=0.010). The results of the present study indicated that the relationship among mutational spectrum, gene expression and demographic characteristics may improve the genetic diagnosis and primary prevention of at-risk individuals belonging to families with reduced mRNA expression, regardless of mutation presence.
Roux-en-Y and Billroth II Reconstruction after Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Meta-Analysis of Complications

Objective To evaluate Roux-en-Y and Billroth II reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials that compared Roux-en-Y and Billroth II reconstruction following PD up to December 2019. RevMan 5.3 software was used for the statistical analysis. Results Four RCTs and five controlled clinical trials were included, with a total of 1,072 patients (500 and 572 patients in the Roux-en-Y and Billroth II groups, respectively). No significant differences in delayed gastric emptying (DGE), A-grade DGE, B-grade DGE, or C-grade DGE were observed between the Roux-en-Y and Billroth II reconstruction groups after PD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50–2.03, P = 0.98; OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.17–1.45, P = 0.20; OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.29–1.38, P = 0.25; and OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 0.38–11.99, P = 0.39). No significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula, abscess, bile leaks, infection, postoperative bleeding, or the length of the postoperative hospital stay was observed between the Roux-en-Y and Billroth II groups (P > 0.05), but the operation time was significantly different (mean difference [MD] = 31.65, 95% CI: 7.14–56.17, P = 0.01). Conclusions Billroth II reconstruction after PD did not significantly reduce the incidence of DGE or other complications but shortened the operation time compared to Roux-en-Y reconstruction. However, the results must be verified by further high-quality, large RCTs or controlled clinical trials.
