Restricción en pacientes agitados atendidos en unidades de cuidado médico primario

El manejo inicial de pacientes agresivos es frecuente en la practica clinica, sin embargo, tanto el diagnostico como el tratamiento iniciales tienden a ser imprecisos. La restriccion fisica es una practica muy usada por el personal de la salud, pero poco se sabe sobre su metodologia, indicaciones, contraindicaciones y efectos adversos. Con el interes de aportar pautas, al personal de salud, encargado de la atencion medica primaria de los pacientes agresivos en Colombia; realizamos una busqueda en la literatura de los ultimos cinco anos en MEDLINE, HINARI, PROQUEST y OVID mediante combinacion de la siguientes palabras clave: restraint, physical, aggression; emergency services, psychiatric; tranquilizing agents, con especial atencion a los articulos de revision y metaanalisis. Se seleccionaron 28 de 202 articulos de mayor relevancia para su aplicacion en nuestro medio. Las indicaciones mas importantes de restriccion son: el riesgo de hetero o auto agresividad y el dano a la planta fisica. Existen claras contraindicaciones e implicaciones eticas, medicas y legales de los procedimientos de restriccion que se deben acatar juiciosamente para realizar una adecuada practica clinica. El adecuado uso de la restriccion fisica del paciente agitado o agresivo, en unidades de atencion primaria, es vital para su adecuado tratamiento y pronostico. Es muy importante identificar la patologia medica general subyacente.
Spawning Behavior and After-Spawning Survival in Induced Triploid Ayu Plecoglossus altivelis.

Spawning behavior and after-spawning survival of induced triploid and normal diploid ayu Plecoglossus altivelis were observed in an exrerimental stream. Female triploid did not show spawning behavior, and never came to the spawning bed. On the other hand, male triploid came to the sapwning bed and chased female diploid, and took part in spawning activity with male diploid. Survival rate of female triploid was 80% from the sapwning season to next April, being higher than the rate in female diploid. The problems of releasing triploid ayu to the natural rivers were discussed in relation with spawning behavior and after-spawning survivals.
Infectious Bronchitis Virus Types: Incidence in the United States

Previous studies with infectious bronchitis viruses (IBV) have shown distinct serologic differences between isolates designated as Massachusetts, Connecticut, 609, 97, Gray, and Holte (1,2,3,5,6,7). Respiratory signs are observed frequently in broiler flocks, and occasionally in laying flocks, which are suggestive of infectious bronchitis, even though the flocks have been vaccinated. Such respiratory signs may be due to reinfection with the same type of virus with which the flock was previously vaccinated. However, with the knowledge that different serologic types of IBV do exist, these bronchitis outbreaks could be due to unrelated types. To get a better idea of the flock incidence of various IBV types in the United States, this survey was conducted.
Effect of Dietary Supplementation with Sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids on Certain Blood Characteristics of Laying Quail

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with different fat sources on blood parameters of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Eighty four 7-week old laying quail were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups (21 birds per group) with 3 replicates for each treatment group and fed for three months on a commercial diet supplemented with 3% of either sunflower oil (T1), flax oil (T2), corn oil (T3) or fish oil (T4). The birds received water and feed ad libitum during the experiment. During the last month of experiment blood samples were collected fortnightly from each bird. The first blood samples collection was used to determine fresh blood parameters, while the second blood samples collection was used after pooled blood samples for each replicate of treatment group to determine serum chemistry traits. Dietary supplementation with 3% fish oil (T4) caused a significant (p<0.05) increase in erythrocyte number, Packed Cell Volume (PCV), hemoglobin concentration, Mean Corpuscular Values (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), thrombocyte number and leukocyte number and serum total protein, albumen, globulin, glucose, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), calcium and phosphorus concentration, followed by the results of flax oil (T2), whereas sunflower oil (T1) and corn oil (T3) revealed the lowest values respecting these traits. However, adding sunflower (T1) and corn oil (T3) to the diet of laying quail resulted in significant (p<0.05) increase in percentage of reticulocytes and Heterophil to Lymphocyte (H/L) ratio and serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), uric acid, creatinine, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), followed by the results of the flax oil (T2), while fish oil (T4) exhibited the lowest means with relation to these traits. From this experiment it is concluded that dietary fish and flax oils at inclusion level of 3% resulted in significant improvement in blood profile of laying quail. Consequently, fish and flax oils can be added during the laying period to the diet of Japanese quail to enhance general physiological status of these birds.
Habitat Exploration through Morphological Plasticity in Two Chalk Grassland Perennials

The results of previous workers suggest that rhizome lengths and the degree of rhizome branching in clonal perennial plants may change in response to environmental conditions, enabling plants to more efficiently capture unevenly distributed resources (so-called "foraging" responses). Such components of plant growth were investigated in two rhizomatous graminoids of chalk grassland, Carex flacca and Brachypodium pinnatum. Mean rhizome length in Brachypodium was significantly smaller under high nutrient availability, but only when unshaded. Carex produced longer rhizomes under high light conditions, but showed no effects of nutrients. In both species, branching was greater under higher levels of light intensity, and with more favourable nutrient conditions. Shoots of both species increased in height in response to shading, but only shoots of Brachypodium responded to fertilization. As Carex does not produce shorter rhizomes under more favourable conditions, the foraging model is inapplicable to this species. Growth responses of Brachypodium were in better agreement with the foraging hypothesis. However, in this species the amount of endogenous variation in rhizome length and bud dynamics overrides the plastic changes in response to different resource supply.
Moment Analysis Program available on Microsoft Excel

A computer program, MOMENT (EXCEL), for moment analysis was developed on Microsoft Excel®. MOMENT (EXCEL) written in Visual Basic for Applications® can handle time course not only of blood concentration but also of urinaly or bilialy excretion according to linear or linear-logarthmic trapezoidal rule. MOMENT(EXCEL) calculates and tabulates moment parameters, such as AUC, MRT and clearance accompained with the graphical output. A method of AIC (Akaike's Information Criteion) based determination of terminal points for automatic extrapolation to infinite time were also equipped in this program, which was investigated the validation by analysis of the artificial time courses simulated with 15% random error in the obserbation. The moment values estimated using the AIC based method by MOMENT (EXCEL) were in good agreement with the theoretical ones. MOMENT (EXCEL), with using Excel, can reduce errors occurred during data handling and shorten time for routine analysis. MOMENT(EXCEL) can be down loaded from the following internet web site; http://bunseki02.pharm. kyoto-u.ac. jp/.
Why Do Americans Work so Much More than Europeans

Americans now work 50 percent more than do the Germans, French, and Italians. This was not the case in the early 1970s, when the Western Europeans worked more than Americans. This article examines the role of taxes in accounting for the differences in labor supply across time and across countries; in particular, the effective marginal tax rate on labor income. The population of countries considered is the G-7 countries, which are major advanced industrial countries. The surprising fi nding is that this marginal tax rate accounts for the predominance of differences at points in time and the large change in relative labor supply over time.
Editorial: The rise and fall of postprandial lipids

The remnants of absorbed fat particles which circulate after a meal might cause atherosclerosis, but such a causal role is still unproven. High levels of such lipoprotein remnants are often found in patients with the metabolic syndrome. Increased activity and weight loss will diminish the cardiovascular risk factors caused by this syndrome including elevations of postprandial remnants.

Prognostic Factors in Survival of Patients With Stage Ta and T1 Bladder Urothelial Tumors

We studied 159 cases of superficial (stage Ta or T1) bladder tumors to determine the significance on survival of a subset of regulators of transition from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle (p53, p21Waf1, p27Kip1, cyclin D1, cyclin D3) and tumor proliferation (Ki-67 [MIB-1]). Clinical findings (patient age, sex, tumor size, grade, stage [Ta or T1]) were included in the analysis. Univariate analysis revealed association of tumor size ( P = .0353), grade in stage Ta tumors ( P = .0074), cyclin D1 expression ( P = .0182), and Ki-67 index ( P = .0033) with disease-free survival and of tumor size ( P = .0005), stage ( P = .0494), cyclin D3 expression ( P = .0105), and Ki-67 index ( P = .0272) with overall survival. Cox multivariate analysis revealed cyclin D1 expression and high proliferation index (disease-free) and tumor size, cyclin D3 expression, and high proliferation index (overall survival) as independent predictors. Results suggest that alterations of the progression from the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle are common in papillary urothelial bladder tumors. High tumor proliferation, expression of cyclins D1 and D3, and tumor size at diagnosis might be relevant predictors of survival in patients with stage Ta and T1 bladder urothelial tumors.
IMMUNIZATION OF MICE WITH KILLED E. coli K99 VACCINE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST COLIBACCILLOSIS

Enterotoxigenic E. coli is the most common enteropathogen that causes diarrhea in newborn farm animals. The bacteria cause diarrhea by adhering to colonizing and producing enterotoxins in the small intestine they are not invasive [2]. Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains as the important cause of sever diarrhea in newborn calves carry fimbriae (such as F5 (K99) and F41) mediating binding of the bacteria to microvilli of enterocytes of the small intestine [3,4]. Osman, et al [5] report that the large and small ruminants could be a potential source of infection with enterovirulent Escherichia coli pathotypes in humans in Egypt.
A modi(cid:12)ed variant of grey wolf optimizer

The original version of Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm has a few disadvantages such as low solving accuracy, unsatisfactory ability of local searching, and slow convergence rate. In order to compensate these disadvantages of grey wolf optimizer, a new version of grey wolf optimizer algorithm was proposed by modifying the encircling behavior and position update equations of GWO algorithm. The accuracy and convergence performances of the modi(cid:12)ed variant were tested on several well-known classical, sine datasets, and cantilever beam design functions. For veri(cid:12)cation, the results were compared with some of the most powerful, well-known algorithms, i.e., particle swarm optimization, grey wolf optimizer, and mean grey wolf optimization. The experimental solutions demonstrated that the modi(cid:12)ed variant was able to provide very comparable solutions in terms of improved minimum value of objective function, maximum value of objective function, mean, standard deviation, and convergence rate.
L INKING MARKETING CHOICES WITH FARMING PRACTICES OF GRAIN PRODUCERS: A FARM LEVEL MODELING APPROACH APPLIED TO THE SOUT H- WESTERN FRANCE

With the increasing commodity prices volatility ove r the last years and the successive agricultural policy reforms, European grain produce rs face greater uncertainty. To better understand consequences of a price risk increase on production decisions, marketing decisions and farm revenue as well as linkage between product ion and marketing decisions, we develop a multiperiodic risk farm model. Production decisio ns concern selections of crop mix and farming practices (conventional or integrated farmi ng) while marketing decisions focus on four types of pricing arrangements. The model is ap plied to a representative farmer of a region located in the Southwest of France. The resu lts exposed in this paper shows that with a price risk increase, production adjustments of a ri sk averse farmer are oriented toward less risky farming practices unless marketing contracts llow to mitigate price risk.
Real-Time Sound Synthesis of Audience Applause

We investigate a procedural model for synthesizing applause sounds that contains novel aspects to ensure high quality and usability. Synthesis of a single clap is generated as a result of filtering a noise source and applying an envelope with exponential decay, based on prior art and existing experimental data. An ensemble approach is introduced to simulate many clappers in a spatially distributed environment. This renders how applause interacts with the space in which it is hosted, including the room impulse response, and where each clap is situated relative to the listener’s position. The applause features realistic build-up and fade-out based on natural audience response. The implementation contains meaningful parameters that allow a user to configure and change the sound to achieve a multitude of different types of applause, such as an “enthusiasm parameter” to simulate the greater perceived intensity from an enthusiastic audience. Subjective evaluation was performed to compare our method against recorded samples and four other popular sound synthesis techniques. It showed that the proposed implementation produced significantly more realistic results than other forms of applause synthesis, and it was almost indistinguishable from real-life recordings.
Non-affine stochastic volatility jump diffusion models

This paper proposes an alternative option pricing model in which the stock prices follow a diffusion process with non-affine stochastic volatility and random jumps. Approximative European option pricing formulae are derived by transforming a non-linear PDE in an approximate linear PDE which is explicitly solved by using Fourier transformations. We check that these approximative prices are close to the Monte Carlo estimates and compare them with the prices in an affine stochastic volatility jump diffusion model. Model parameters are estimated by using the method of simulated moments. We evaluate the impact of the different submodels on option prices and on implied volatility.
Explainability and Dependability Analysis of Learning Automata based AI Hardware

Explainability remains the holy grail in designing the next-generation pervasive artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Current neural network based AI design methods do not naturally lend themselves to reasoning for a decision making process from the input data. A primary reason for this is the overwhelming arithmetic complexity.Built on the foundations of propositional logic and game theory, the principles of learning automata are increasingly gaining momentum for AI hardware design. The lean logic based processing has been demonstrated with significant advantages of energy efficiency and performance. The hierarchical logic underpinning can also potentially provide opportunities for by-design explainable and dependable AI hardware. In this paper, we study explainability and dependability using reachability analysis in two simulation environments. Firstly, we use a behavioral SystemC model to analyze the different state transitions. Secondly, we carry out illustrative fault injection campaigns in a low-level SystemC environment to study how reachability is affected in the presence of hardware stuck-at 1 faults. Our analysis provides the first insights into explainable decision models and demonstrates dependability advantages of learning automata driven AI hardware design.
The Effect of Linguistic Typology on Transfer Learning of Morphology

In the SIGMORPHON 2019 shared task 1, multiple teams attempted for the first time to leverage transfer learning to build more accurate models of natural language morphology with small amounts of target language data, with the intended goal of boosting modeling resources for low-resource languages. It was found that transfer learning could aid the development of computational models for low resource languages and that transfer learning was most effective between genealogically related languages. This study expounds on those findings by testing a much larger number of unrelated language pairs, systematically comparing two model architectures, and examining relationships between model performance and selected linguistic typological similarities of source and target languages. It was found that transfer learning can still afford substantial benefits when source and target language are unrelated, and that transfer learning is most beneficial when source and target language have similar sets of morphologically inflected categories and similar patterns of fusion between those categories, while similarities in inflection shape are not predictive of transfer learning efficacy. This information can be used to select source languages when leveraging transfer learning to improve computational resources for low-resource target languages, especially those without closely related high-resource languages.
Hybrid Multicarrier Modulation Transformerless Multilevel Inverter Fed Induction Motor Drive

In this paper, performance analysis of PV based hybrid multicarrier modulation transformerless multilevel inverter is employed for induction motor drive. The presence of harmonics in a conventional inverter fed adjustable speed drive applications, the performance of the drive is poor with low quality of voltage and current, so the power losses are also higher in level. Recently, multilevel inverter topologies are used in high power medium voltage control. The transformerless inverter topology provides higher efficiency with reduced total harmonic distortion (THD), simple structure with less weight and enhanced power quality. In this work, inverter output voltage control is obtained using hybrid multicarrier pulse width modulation (HMCPWM) technique. Performance analysis of 5-level transformerless inverter fed induction motor controlled by HMCPWM is performed by simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.
Application of Diamond and Sapphire Sensors in the Beam Halo Monitor for FLASH

FLASH (Free-electron LASer in Hamburg) [1, 2] is a high-gain free-electron laser (FEL) at DESY with maximal electron beam energy of 1.2 GeV, bunch charge up to 3 nC, bunch frequency up to 3 MHz and train length up to 800 μs. This is a user facility of the SASE (Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission) FEL beam for applications in physics, chemistry, biology, material sciences, medical diagnostics and other fields. It is also a test facility for the European XFEL [3, 4] and the ILC [5, 6]. Safe electron beam dumping at FLASH is supported by a beam dump diagnostics system. A new beam diagnostics system became necessary after a beam loss induced vacuum leak occurred in September 2008. In order to avoid such leak in future a new system consisting of glass fibers, ionization chambers, a beam halo monitor (BHM) and beam position monitors (BPM) has been installed. The BHM a vital part of this system, carrying 4 diamond and 4 sapphire sensors has been installed inside the beam pipe during the upgrade of the FLASH beam dump line in summer 2009. It has been successfully commissioned and operated during the ”9 mA” experiment [7].
Organic Heirloom Tomato Production in High Tunnel and Open Field Systems

Organic heirloom tomatoes are a high-value product with a growing demand but there are many challenges to successful cultivation. High tunnel systems may help farmers supply a growing regional market for high-value horticultural crops and take advantage of the lengthy, sub-tropical growing season (USDA hardiness zone 7b-8a) in eastern North Carolina. For this reason, a replicated, systems-level comparison study was carried out to evaluate the production of the popular heirloom tomato, Cherokee Purple ( Solanum lycopersicum L. ‘Cherokee Purple’), under or-ganically managed high tunnel and open field systems. Crop yield, fruit quality, microclimate and disease incidence were examined. Results of this study suggest that with proper management techniques, high tunnels can optimize yields, increase fruit quality and provide season extension opportunities.
Clonal growth in grassland perennials. II. Growth form and fine-scale colonizing ability.

(1) The influence of growth form on the population dynamics of Bellis perennis and Prunella vulgaris was investigated in lawn communities by removal experiments. The rosette density of Bellis perennis was stable with time and little affected by the removal of either grasses or dicotyledonous species. In Prunella vulgaris, the module density changed greatly with time and was influenced by the presence of other dicotyledonous species in the sward. These differences are interpreted as typical of phalanx and guerrilla species. (2) Leaves were shorter-lived in Bellis perennis, where they shade each other more than in Prunella vulgaris. The longevity of leaves of both species is high during winter but low during the growing season. (3) The phalanx species Bellis perennis colonizes small bare patches mainly with seedlings, but the guerrilla species Prunella vulgaris colonizes mainly by clonal growth. Seedlings which attained adulthood were observed in Bellis perennis but not in Prunella vulgaris. (4) The contact-sampling method (Turkington & Harper 1979a, b) was used to analyse withinand between-species neighbour relationships. Its value is discussed and the suggestion is made to replace 'contact' by 'overlap'.
