An Epidemiologic Study on Aging and Dysphagia in the Acute Care Hospitalized Population: 2000–2007

Objectives: To describe total and yearly demographic trends relative to aging, dysphagia referral rates and oral feeding status in hospitalized patients from 2000 through 2007. Methods: We evaluated a prospective, consecutive, referred sample of 4,038 hospitalized patients in an urban, tertiary, acute care teaching hospital. Dysphagia referral rates are described according to year, age (decade), sex, admitting diagnostic category, results of dysphagia evaluations and oral feeding status. Diagnosis of dysphagia and feeding status were assessed objectively with fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Results: Dysphagia referral rates doubled between 2000 and 2007, with increases of 20% per year and increases in all decades from 2002 through 2007. Over 70% of dysphagia referrals were for older patients of 60 years and above, and over 42% of these were old old patients over 80 years. Referrals for 80 to 89-year-old patients almost doubled and for patients over 90 years more than tripled between 2000 and 2007. Of older patients over 60 years, 62.3% (1,771/2,843) did not exhibit dysphagia, 18.0% (513/2,843) benefited from specific diet modifications to reduce aspiration risk and 19.7% (559/2,843) were made nil-by-mouth due to severe dysphagia and aspiration. Conclusions: From 2000 to 2007, dysphagia referrals across all ages increased by 20% each year, with more referrals for older (70.4%) than younger patients (29.6%). Referrals almost doubled for 80 to 89-year-old patients and more than tripled for patients over 90 years. This increase will necessitate additional trained dysphagia specialists at least through 2050 and probably longer.
Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Deployment Based on Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

The application of particle swarm optimization algorithm in underwater wireless sensor node deployment strategy was studied. The chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm was proposed. Set up a function variance to determine whether the particles enter the premature state. Then chaos searched and took the chaotic search optimal solution vector as the global optimization solution to guide the particles quickly jump out of local optimum, accelerate the convergence speed and to overcome the premature problem of standard particle swarm algorithm brought. The network coverage was the fitness function to optimize the deployment of nodes question. The chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to wireless sensor network node deployment strategy. The experimental results showed that this method could effectively improve the convergence speed and increase network coverage.
Phase I study of vorinostat plus docetaxel in patients with solid tumor malignancies.

2528 Background: Vorinostat is an inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6, which results in the acetylation of tubulin and the stabilization of microtubules. Since taxanes bind to stabilized microtubules, the administration of vorinostat followed by docetaxel, we hypothesized, should result in synergistic cytotoxicity. A phase I trial was conducted to determine the dose level of vorinostat plus docetaxel that would result in dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in ≤ 30% of patients (pts). METHODS Eligible pts had castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) or relapsed urothelial or non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after ≥1 prior chemotherapy regimen not containing docetaxel, a performance status of 0-2 and adequate organ function. Vorinostat was given orally for 14 days beginning on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Docetaxel was given intravenously over 1 hour on day 4. The time-to-event continuous reassessment method guided dose escalation. Dose levels (DL) -1, 0, 1 and 2 corresponded to vorinostat 100, 100, 200 and 200 mg plus docetaxel 50, 60, 60, and 75 mg/m2, respectively. Blood was collected on days 1 and 4 of cycle 1 to measure drug levels by HPLC. RESULTS 12 pts were enrolled: median age 65 yrs (49-74); gender 9M:3F; 4 CRPC, 5 urothelial, 3 NSCLC. The median number of cycles was 2. 2 pts were treated at DL -1, 4 pts at DL 0, 5 pts at DL 1 and 1 pt at DL 2. 5 DLTs occurred in 5 pts: grade 4 neutropenic fever/sepsis (n = 2), anaphylactic reaction (n = 1), myocardial infarction (n = 1) and GI bleed (n = 1). Other toxicities included grade 4 neutropenia (n = 2), pulmonary embolus (n = 1) and GI bleed (n = 1). The estimated probability of DLT for DL -1 was . 32 (90% posterior probability interval [PI], .11 to .53) for DL 0, . 38 (90% PI, .16 to .58) and for DL 1, . 43 (90% PI, .23 to .64). The trial was stopped due to excessive toxicity. No responses were noted. CONCLUSIONS Combination vorinostat plus docetaxel was poorly tolerated with excessive DLTs requiring study termination. PK analysis will be presented. Supported in part by a grant from Merck & Co., Inc. [Table: see text].
In situ survival of Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli in a tropical rain forest watershed

For 12 months, Vibrio cholerae and fecal coliform densities were monitored along with nine other water quality parameters at 12 sites in a rain forest watershed in Puerto Rico. Densities of V. cholerae and fecal coliforms were not significantly correlated, even though the highest densities of both bacteria were found at a sewage outfall. High densities of V. cholerae were also found at pristine sites at the highest point in the watershed. The density of Escherichia coli and V. cholerae in membrane diffusion chambers did not change significantly during the course of two such studies. Physiological activity, as measured by electron transport system activity and relative nucleic acid composition, indicated that both E. coli and V. cholerae remained active. This study suggests that V. cholerae is indigenous to tropical fresh waters and that assays other than those that detect fecal coliforms or E. coli must be used for assessing public health risk in tropical waters.

Current management of short bowel syndrome.

ntestinal failure refers to a condition that results from obstruction, ysmotility, surgical resection, congenital defect, or disease-associated oss of absorption and is characterized by the inability to maintain rotein-energy, fluid, electrolyte, or micronutrient balance. The short owel syndrome (SBS) is a type of intestinal failure caused by intestinal esection leading to a shortened intestinal remnant and is characterized by he inability to maintain protein-energy, fluid, electrolyte, or micronutrint balances when on a conventionally accepted, normal diet. SBS ccounts for approximately three-fourths of intestinal failure patients in dults and more than one half in children. The pathophysiologic changes hat occur in SBS relate primarily to the loss of intestinal absorptive urface and more rapid intestinal transit. The consequences of malabsorpion of nutrients include malnutrition, diarrhea, steatorrhea, specific utrient deficiencies, and fluid and electrolyte imbalance. These patients re at risk for other specific complications, which include an increased ncidence of cholelithiasis, gastric hypersecretion, nephrolithiasis, and iver disease. The history of SBS is one of long-standing interest but more recent dvancements. Koeberle reported the first patient surviving massive esection of the small intestine in 1880. The clinical consequences of iarrhea and malabsorption were described by Senn in 1888. Mall eported using reversed intestine segments to improve these symptoms in 896. Functional adaptation after massive resection was well documented y Flint in 1912. In 1935, Haymond reviewed 257 cases of extensive 8 feet resected) intestinal resection. He found that only 50 (20%) urvived for more than 1 year and further suggested that loss of 50% of he intestine was the upper limit of safety. Simons and Jordan reported 0 SBS patients ( 4 feet remaining small intestine) in 1969. Mesenteric ascular disease was the most common diagnosis and mortality remained igh. An important milestone was the demonstration by Wilmore and udrick in 1968 that parenteral nutrition (PN) would support nutritional
CRLH ZOR metametrial, design, simulation and fabrication

In this article, a survey about ZOR is illustrated and its characteristics are investigated in a detailed manner. The fabrication process has been presented to focus on the practical limitations of metamaterials. An application based on ZOR like a notch filter is presented. The notch filter is used in UWB applications. Later, a tunable mechanism based on the nonlinear dielectric of ferroelectric has been proposed. The model is only simulated due to technology limitations. All different configurations were designed with both HFSS and CST, what resolve the electromagnetic fields in all the structure that is going to be analyzed.

Mensch 3.0: Risikokompetenz und Risikowahrnehmung im Umgang mit neuen Technologien

Der Beitrag stellt die Ergebnisse einer bundesweiten Umfrage zum Thema Internet-Awareness – Risikokompetenz und Risikowahrnehmung im Umgang mit neuen Technologien – vor. Im Versuch der Einordnung werden drei Cluster identifiziert: der Mischtyp Sorglos- & Benefit-Nutzer (Typ C), der eher Kontrollglaubige-Nutzer (Typ B) und der Awareness-Nutzer (Typ A). Der grose Teil der befragten Web-2.0-Nutzer, mehr als 82 %, scheint sich der mit dem Internet verbundenen Risiken bewusst und gibt an, sich dementsprechend verantwortungsvoll zu verhalten (Mensch 3.0). Jedoch stellt sich die Frage: Handeln wir tatsachlich so verantwortungsbewusst? Muss Internet-Awareness verstarkt auf den Lehrplan? (DIPF/Orig.)
The relationship of perfectionism with psychological symptoms in cancer patients and the contributing role of hyperarousability and coping

Objective: Significant levels of anxiety, depression and insomnia symptoms are found in cancer patients. Perfectionism, arousability and coping have been associated with these psychological symptoms in the general population but their role among cancer patients remains to be assessed. This study examined the longitudinal relationships between perfectionism and psychological symptoms (anxiety, depression, insomnia), and the intermediate role of the arousability trait and coping strategies. Design: Participants (N = 853) completed the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Coping with Health Injuries and Problems questionnaire and the Arousal Predisposition Scale at the perioperative period (T1), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Insomnia Severity Index two months later (T2). Results: Higher levels of perfectionism (T1) were correlated with greater symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia (T2). Moderated mediation models indicated that arousability contributed to the association of perfectionism with all symptoms, with stronger associations found in men than in women. Coping was a significant pathway between perfectionism and anxiety, with associations of a comparable magnitude across sexes. Conclusion: If these results are replicated by future longitudinal studies, they would suggest that perfectionist cancer patients are at a higher risk of experiencing psychological symptoms, partly through their hyperarousability and the coping strategies they use.
Locating License Plate Based on Edge Features of Intensity and Saturation Subimages

This paper proposes a novel license plate localization algorithm for automatic license plate recognition (LPR) systems. The proposed approach uses color edge information to refine the edge points extracted in a gray-level image. In the proposed LPR system, input images are processed as follows: (1) de- interlacing by the proposed vertical median filter firstly; (2) locating license plates by detecting edge in the intensity and the saturation subimages; (3) identifying the numbers by matching the seven invariants of characters. In our experiments, 368 images are tested during two hours test. The license plate location rate of success is 97.0% with 11 images failed to locate.
Vanquishing Nutria: Where There's a Will, There's a Way

CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM-- Coypu, 7-kilogram rodents originally imported here in the 1920s for their fur, once ran rampant through the low-lying fields and wetlands of eastern England, but persistent British biologists zeroed in on the animals9 weaknesses and killed nearly 35,000 of them in 6 years, finally ending the invasion in 1989. Now coypu--called nutria in the United States--are wreaking havoc in sensitive coastal wetlands across the Atlantic, and American researchers have adopted for their own efforts the British strategies, which led to the only successful eradication of widely dispersed vertebrates in recent decades.
DIRECTIONS OF EFFECTIVE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES

The bodies of the Russian Federation’s state management, scientific society, agribusiness face the challenges of searching for new directions to provide effective development of agro-industrial activities in the modern conditions of increased competition. Severity of problems in development of the Russian agro-industry is caused by the complex of climatic, historical, economic factors. The need for creation and justification of conceptual alternatives based on forming innovative directions for support of effective development causes application of both new and improved management decisions technologies and updated basis criteria and parameters of their introduction with appropriate adoptive mechanisms on territorial levels and in the industry. The objective of the paper is to justify innovative directions of provision effective agrarian activities. The analysis of economic literature, regulatory basis shows the certain reserve with potential to increase the efficiency of domestic agro-industrial production. Analysis of the Russian Federation’s agro-industrial complex condition allows assuming that the main hindrance factor in extended introduction of innovations is persistent nonsolvency of agrarian enterprises and lack of required means at research institutions to promote their developments. Implementation of innovative directions for effective development of agro-industrial complex enables proving conceptual alternatives and forecasting result capacity of their use for aspects of rural development, improving mechanism of reducing negative anthropogenic influence on environment and ecosystem rehabilitation.
Mechanisms Involved in A/J Mouse Lung Tumorigenesis Induced by Inhalation of an Environmental Tobacco Smoke Surrogate

Abstract Lung tumors have been reproducibly induced in A/J mice exposed to a surrogate for experimental environmental tobacco smoke (ETSS) in a 5-mo inhalation period followed by 4 mo without further exposure. In order to increase our mechanistic understanding of this model, male mice were whole-body exposed for 6 h/d, 5 d/wk to ETSS with a particulate matter concentration of 100 mg/m3. Food restriction regimens were included to model or exceed the ETSS-related impairment of body weight development. Half of the mice were pretreated with a single ip injection of urethane to study the effect of the above treatments on lung tumor development induced by this substance. At 5 mo, the tumor response was statistically the same for all groups of non-pretreated mice; however, the expected urethane-induced lung tumorigenesis was significantly inhibited by approximately 25% by ETSS and food restriction. This inhibition was accompanied by a threefold increase in blood corticosterone as a common stress marker for both ETSS and food restriction. At 9 mo, in mice not pretreated, the lung tumor incidence and multiplicity were significantly increased by twofold in the ETSS group; in the urethane-treated groups, the same high tumor multiplicity was reached regardless of previous treatment. The predominant tumor type in all groups was bronchiolo-alveolar adenoma. There was no induction of a specific K-ras mutation pattern by ETSS exposure. These data suggest a stress-induced inhibition of lung tumorigenesis in this model, explaining the need for the posttreatment period.
Predictors of eHealth Usage: Insights on The Digital Divide From the Health Information National Trends Survey 2012

Background Recent eHealth developments have elevated the importance of assessing the extent to which technology has empowered patients and improved health, particularly among the most vulnerable populations. With noted disparities across racial and social groups in chronic health outcomes, such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes, it is essential that researchers examine any differences in the implementation, uptake, and impact of eHealth strategies across groups that bear a disproportionate burden of disease. Objective The goal was to examine eHealth use by sociodemographic factors, such as race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), age, and sex. Methods We drew data from National Cancer Institute’s 2012 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) (N=3959) which is publicly available online. We estimated multivariable logistic regression models to assess sociodemographic predictors of eHealth use among adult Internet users (N=2358) across 3 health communication domains (health care, health information–seeking, and user-generated content/sharing). Results Among online adults, we saw no evidence of a digital use divide by race/ethnicity. However, there were significant differences in use by SES, particularly for health care and health information–seeking items. Patients with lower levels of education had significantly lower odds of going online to look for a health care provider (high school or less: OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.33-0.76) using email or the Internet to communicate with a doctor (high school or less: OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.29-0.72), tracking their personal health information online (high school or less: OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.32-0.84), using a website to help track diet, weight, and physical activity (high school or less: OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42-0.98; some college: OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.49-0.93), or downloading health information to a mobile device (some college: OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33-0.89). Being female was a consistent predictor of eHealth use across health care and user-generated content/sharing domains, whereas age was primarily influential for health information–seeking. Conclusions This study illustrates that lower SES, older, and male online US adults were less likely to engage in a number of eHealth activities compared to their counterparts. Future studies should assess issues of health literacy and eHealth literacy and their influence on eHealth engagement across social groups. Clinical care and public health communication efforts attempting to leverage Web 2.0 and 3.0 platforms should acknowledge differential eHealth usage to better address communication inequalities and persistent disparities in health.
Acoherent shared memory

The computer industry has entered an era where energy and efficiency are first-class design constraints. Architects can no longer keep all of the components on a die powered simultaneously, and so there is mounting pressure to find new ways in which to use the silicon available. We think that coherence in particular is prime candidate for rethinking because of its well-known drawbacks and the increasing importance of the memory system in large multiprocessors and heterogeneous designs. In order to find an efficient alternative to existing coherence mechanisms while still maintaining shared memory, we believe that hardware must be able to exploit the semantic information available in software. Programmers classify and group data based on usage, such as thread-private or read-only, yet existing coherence mechanisms treat all data the same. As a result, coherence hardware often wastes resources tracking state (e.g., in a directory) to allow transitions that data semantics dictate will never happen. Even when data is shared, it is usually synchronized among threads and communicated at a coarse granularity. Despite this, coherence continues to track blocks at a fine granularity as if they were all truly independent. In this dissertation we explore Acoherent Shared Memory (ASM), a new model that facilitates the transfer of semantic information from software to hardware. ASM expresses the diversity of data semantics in a program by allowing software to group data based on use, e.g., by grouping together thread-private variables. ASM also allows software to communicate the semantics of synchronized data using an acoherent abstraction of memory. Acoherence takes its inspiration from software revision control systems like CVS, and exposes checkout and checkin operations to software. We show that the ASM model can lead to efficient implementations by designing and evaluating ASM-CMP, an initial design for single-chip multiprocessors. ASM-CMP performs on par with comparable coherent systems while requiring less area (e.g., 10x less cache overhead), less energy (e.g., 18% less memory system energy), and simpler hardware. In ASM-CMP, cache controllers make entirely local decisions, and avoid the complexities that arise from distributed race conditions in conventional cache coherence protocols.
