Lived Experiences of the Caregivers of Infants about Family-Centered Care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit : A Phenomenological Study

Background: Family-centered care (FCC) has recently been recognized as the most effective approach in pediatric and family care. Despite the emphasis of healthcare systems on commitment to the philosophy and application of FCC, the nature of this method remains unknown in the related studies. The present study aimed to describe and interpret the experiences of professional and familial caregivers about FCC in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to reveal its structure and essence. Methods: The study was conducted using Van Manen’s phenomenological approach on 18 participants, including 10 professional and eight familial caregivers, who were interviewed. In addition, the interactions between the caregivers during the FCC practice were observed closely. Data were collected from the interviews, and the field notes were transcribed. Data analysis was performed using Van Manen’s thematic analysis. Results: Four main themes and 12 subthemes emerged in the study. Experiences of the caregivers about FCC were manifested through the themes of ‘restoring stability’ (subthemes: ‘reconstituted family’, ‘comprehensive advocacy’, and ‘meta-family interaction’), ‘oriented coalition’ (subthemes: ‘family as a care partner’, ‘professional group action’, ‘unity of action in caregivers’, and ‘collaborative space governance’), ‘dynamics of care’ (subthemes: ‘family as an agent for the advancement of professional caregivers’, ‘perceived status of problem-solving’, and ‘confrontation of caregivers’), and ‘empowering the family caregivers’ (subthemes: ‘accompanying to learn’ and ‘functional evolution’). Conclusion: According the results, FCC is a dynamic care intervention, which is established through purposeful interactions between heterogeneous group members (professional and familial caregivers) in order to achieve care goals and create balance in all caregivers. Moreover, the approach enables familial caregivers to play their role efficiently. Application of this comprehensive care requires the attention of healthcare policymakers and managers to provide the proper context for optimal care provision in the NICU.
The Effect of Rising Health Insurance Costs on Compensation and Employment

This paper examines the extent to which establishments in the U.S. respond to rising health insurance costs by adjusting employee compensation and employment. I examine this question using microdata from the National Compensation Survey, a panel dataset on compensation, health insurance coverage, hours worked, and employment for a sample of establishments across the U.S. These data are unique because they contain detailed information on health insurance plan participation, as well as contribution amounts by both employers and employees. Furthermore, the panel structure of the data allows me to analyze changes in compensation, employment, and health insurance costs within establishments over time. I find that establishments that offer health insurance reduce total compensation by $0.52 for each dollar increase in health insurance costs. Establishments primarily rely on increasing employee contributions when passing along the additional cost of health insurance to workers, while the effect on wages and non-health fringe benefits is approximately zero. ∗I am grateful to Joe Altonji, David Berger, Erica Blom, Rebecca Edwards, Dora Gicheva, Rachel Heath, Lisa Kahn, Amanda Kowalski, Fabian Lange, Rick Mansfield, Costas Meghir, Vincent Pohl, Francis Song, and Joe Vavra for useful discussions.

Abundance and distribution of mushroom corals (Scleractinia:Fungiidae) on a coral reef at Eilat, Northern Red Sea

Mushroom corals (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) are important components of Indo-Pacific coral reefs, yet little is known about their patterns of abundance and distribution in the Red Sea. On a fringing reef at Eilat, northern Red Sea, mushroom corals were found to be common on the reef flat and shallow slope at 20 m depth, they mainly occupied open, unshaded habitats, This study documents differences in habitat use between species of mushroom corals on a fringing reef, and substantial migration by the adult free-living polyps of some species out of shaded reef habitats, down the reef slope, and onto soft substratum.
Version 4 A Rate Distortion approach to protein symmetry

A spontaneous symmetry breaking argument is applied to the problem of protein form, via a Rate Distortion analysis of the relation between genome coding and the final condensation of the protein ‘molten globule’. The Rate Distortion Function, under coding constraints, serves as a temperature analog, so that low values act to drive proteins to simple symmetries. The Rate Distortion Function itself is significantly constrained by the availability of metabolic free energy. This work extends Tlusty’s (2007) elegant exploration of the evolution of the genetic code, suggesting that rate distortion considerations may play a critical role across a broad spectrum of molecular expressions of evolutionary process.
The antioxidant and Anticancer Activities of Swiss Chard and Red Beetroot Leaves

Plants have been used for many years as a source of traditional medicine to treat various diseases and conditions. Many of these medicinal plants are also excellent sources for phytochemicals, which contain potent antioxidant and anticancer activities. Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris, Cicla, BVc) and beetroot (Beta vulgaris Rubra, BVr) are vegetables belong to the Chenopodiaceae family, widely consumed in traditional western cooking. These vegetables represent a highly renewable and cheap source of nutrients. In Eygpt, beetroot leaves (Beta vulgaris L.) are commonly cut off and discarded before using its bulb due to lack of knowledge of how to use them. Aiming to use these leaves, in the present study, in fresh swiss chard and beetroot leaves were chemically characterized in terms of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, antioxidant activity by DPPH, Chlorophyll A, B and carotenoids. The beetroot leaves showed the highest levels compared with swiss chard leaves. In addition, the anticancer activity of chard and beetroot leaves were examined. The major phenolic acids in water extract of chard leaves were evanillic, caffeine, ellagic acid and pyrogallol while the methanolic extract of chard leaves was enriched with evanillic, salycillic, protocatchoic acid and catechol. On contrary, the water and methanolic extracts of beetroot leaves were enriched with evanillic, pyrogallol, ellagic acid and protocatchoic acid. The water extract of chard leaves was enriched with hesperidin and rosmarinic, while the methanolic extracts of chard and beetroot leaves were enriched with vitexin and hesperidin, the water and methanolic extracts of beetroot leaves were enriched with rosmarinic. Dried powder of chard and beetroot leaves were added to mango and orange juices as an application to make use of it, all samples had significant different compared to the pure juices but generally they were acceptable by the sensory evaluation. Overall, the results suggested that chard and red beetroot leaves may provide a natural sources of antioxidant and anticancer activities and it can be added to juices as they raise the nutritional value of the juices and does not noticeably impact on the sensory properties of them.
DENTAL MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS TREATED WITH INTRAVENOUS BISPHOSPHONATES

Bisphosphonates are drugs used for the inhibition of osteoclastic bone resorption. Their therapeutic use is indicated for Paget’s disease, hypercalcemia of cancer, bone metastases, and osteoporosis. The main side effect of these drugs is osteonecrosis of the jaw, which is difficult to control. The aim of the present study was to report a patient, who was referred to the Special Needs Clinics of the Ribeirão Preto Dental School, University of São Paulo, for dental treatment. His medical history revealed a diagnosis of multiple myeloma with bone marrow transplantation in November 2007. Since then, he has been using zometa every 3 months. After physical examination and complementary exams, a diagnosis of angular cheilitis, erythematous candidiasis, caries, localized chronic periodontitis, pulp necrosis and partial edentulousness was established. The treatment plan was based on control of angular cheilitis candidiasis, basic periodontal therapy, supportive periodontal therapy, endodontic treatment, and partial mandibular and maxillary dentures. All invasive procedures were performed with antibiotic prophylaxis. The patient is under treatment and care is being taken to avoid osteonecrosis of the jaws. The authors highlight the need for knowledge of the side effects of bisphosphonates to prevent such effects and to maintain the oral health of the patients. DESCRIPTORS: Bisphosphonates • Osteonecrosis • Dental care • Mouth rehabilitation.
Angiogenesis and Inhibits Tumor Growth Hypoxia-Regulated Overexpression of Soluble VEGFR 2 Controls

VEGFs are found at high levels in hypoxic tumors. As major components directing pathologic neovascularization, they regulate stromal reactions. Consequently, novel strategies targeting and inhibiting VEGF overproduction upon hypoxia offer considerable potential for modern anticancer therapies controlling rather thandestroying tumor angiogenesis.Here,we report thedesignof a vector expressing the soluble formofVEGF receptor-2 (sVEGFR2) driven by a hypoxia-responsive element (HRE)-regulated promoter. To enable in vivo imaging by infrared visualization, mCherry and IFP1.4 coding sequences were built into the vector. Plasmid construction was validated through transfection into embryonic human kidney HEK293 and murine B16F10 melanomacells. sVEGFR2wasexpressed inhypoxic conditionsonly, confirming that thegenewas regulatedby the HRE promoter. sVEGFR2 was found to bind efficiently and specifically to murine and human VEGF-A, reducing the growth of tumor and endothelial cells as well as impacting angiogenesis in vitro. The hypoxiaconditioned sVEGFR2 expression was shown to be functional in vivo: Tumor angiogenesis was inhibited and, on stable transfection of B16F10melanomacells, tumor growthwas reduced. Enhanced expressionof sVEGFR2 was accompanied by a modulation in levels of VEGF-A. The resulting balance reflected the effect on tumor growth and on control of angiogenesis. A concomitant increase of intratumor oxygen tension also suggested an influence on vessel normalization. The possibility to express an angiogenesis regulator as sVEGFR2, in a hypoxia-conditioned manner, significantly opens new strategies for tumor vessel–controlled normalization and the design of adjuvants for combined cancer therapies.

Nutrient Interactions and Toxicity In Vivo Rates of Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis in Rats Are Decreased by Acute Ethanol Treatment but Are Not Ameliorated by Supplemental a-Tocopherol 1

Some studies have shown that reductions in tissue protein synthesis, under a variety of cytotoxic conditions, are ameliorated by a-tocopherol (ATC) supplementation. We have also shown evidence of increased oxidative stress and reduced protein synthesis rates in alcohol-exposed muscle. Serum levels of ATC fall and rates of muscle protein synthesis are reduced in patients with alcoholic myopathy. We therefore tested the hypothesis that treatment with ATC could ameliorate the ethanol-induced changes in muscle protein synthesis, a contributory event in the pathogenesis of alcoholic muscle disease. Studies were carried out on gastrocnemius (Type II fiber-predominant and usually considered representative of the musculature as a whole), soleus (Type I fiberpredominant) and plantaris (Type II fiber-predominant) muscles. For comparative purposes, we also investigated the liver. Young male Wistar rats (90 g body weight) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) daily with ATC (30 mg/kg body weight) in Intralipid fat emulsion (0.1 mL/100 g body, i.p.) for 5 d. Controls were similarly injected with the Intralipid vehicle alone. After ATC supplementation, rats were given ethanol (75 mmol/kg body weight, i.p., 2.5 h) or saline (0.15 mol/L NaCl, i.p.). Fractional rates of tissue protein synthesis (i.e., the percentage of the tissue protein pool renewed each day, ks, %/d) and RNA activities [i.e., the amount of protein synthesis each day per unit RNA, kRNA, mg protein/d/mg RNA)] were then measured. Supplementation increased ATC concentrations in plasma, gastrocnemius and liver. There was no effect of ATC supplementation alone on ks in any of the tissues. ATC supplementation in the absence of alcohol increased kRNA in the plantaris muscle. In nonsupplemented groups, acute ethanol treatment reduced skeletal muscle (soleus, plantaris and gastrocnemius) ks. Hepatic ks was not altered by ethanol, although ATC concentrations in this tissue increased due to ethanol. However, none of the changes in muscle ks or kRNA due to ethanol were significantly affected by ATC supplementation. In conclusion, ATC supplementation does not appear beneficial in ameliorating acute alcohol toxicity in skeletal muscle as defined by reductions in protein synthesis. J. Nutr. 130: 3045–3049, 2000.
The historical distribution of bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada , California

Bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada disappeared from most of their historic range, surviving in only 3 populations west of the town of Independence in the Owens Valley. As a primary basis for restoration of these sheep, we compiled historical sightings and skull remains for Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep by twelve geographic regions, along with early estimates of population sizes where they existed. Historic sightings suggest that at least 10 populations survived to the twentieth century of which 2 persisted to the middle of that century before disappearing; but the sighting record does not distinguish viable populations from those that may have been declining to extinction. While it is possible for some populations to assign a decade when they disappeared, those populations may have lost viability earlier. Our data base probably represents the historical north-south distribution of these sheep and provides distributional details for some populations. However, it is remarkably sparse for some regions, suggesting that it may not have captured the full historical distribution of this animal, particularly west of the Sierra crest, where the earliest population losses may have occurred. Restoration efforts need to recognize this potential shortcoming.
Technologies to Recover Nutrients from Waste Streams: A Critical Review

Technologies to recover nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from waste streams have undergone accelerated development in the past decade, predominantly due to a surge in fertilizer prices and stringent discharge limits on these nutrients. This review provides a critical state of art review of appropriate technologies which identifies research gaps, evaluates current and future potential for application of the respective technologies, and outlines paths and barriers for adoption of the nutrient recovery technologies. The different technologies can be broadly divided into the sequential categories of nutrient accumulation, followed by nutrient release, followed by nutrient extraction. Nutrient accumulation can be achieved via plants, microorganisms (algae and prokaryotic), and physicochemical mechanisms including chemical precipitation, membrane separation, sorption, and binding with magnetic particles. Nutrient release can occur by biochemical (anaerobic digestion and bioleaching) and thermochemical treatment. Nutrient extraction can occur via crystallization, gas-permeable membranes, liquid–gas stripping, and electrodialysis. These technologies were analyzed with respect to waste stream type, the product being recovered, and relative maturity. Recovery of nutrients in a concentrated form (e.g., the inorganic precipitate struvite) is seen as desirable because it would allow a wider range of options for eventual reuse with reduced pathogen risk and improved ease of transportation. Overall, there is a need to further develop technologies for nitrogen and potassium recovery and to integrate accumulation–release–extraction technologies to improve nutrient recovery efficiency. There is a need to apply, demonstrate, and prove the more recent and innovative technologies to move these beyond their current infancy. Lastly, there is a need to investigate and develop agriculture application of the recovered nutrient products. These advancements will reduce waterway and air pollution by redirecting nutrients from waste into recovered nutrient products that provides a long-term sustainable supply of nutrients and helps buffer nutrient price rises in the future.

A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE BEHAVIOR OF NONLINEAR DYNAMIC NETWORKS: STABILITY OF AUTONOMOUS NETWORKS

Several theorems are presented which predict in a qualitative manner the behavior of dynamic nonlinear networks. In particular, conditions are given which assure that the voltage and current waveforms of a dy namic nonlinear network J\l have no finite escape-time solutions, or when JU is autonomous, the waveforms are bounded, or eventually uniformly bounded, or converge to a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium ££int. An algorithm is presented which computes a maximum "transient decay " time constant when waveforms converge exponentially to the globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point. Several examples are discussed. These results are extended in [15] to nonautonomous networks. The theorems are significant in that they apply to a large class of networks. Furthermore, their hypotheses are simple and easily verifiable. The hypotheses are of two types: First, very general conditions on the network state equations, and second, conditions on the individual element characteristics and their interconnection. The latter type of theorems use graph-theoretic results of [14] and involve solely the examination of the global nature of each network element and the verification of a topological "loop-cutset" condition. renntfh ?

Re-contact within the Justice System: Integrating Multiple Data Sources through Record Linkage

The size and scope of linkage projects are increasing as probabilistic record linkage becomes a standard method to integrate administrative and survey files based on personal identifiers. Thanks to recent improvements in computers and software, Statistics Canada is currently undertaking multiple, large record linkage projects, including the Justice Re-contact Project, which follows pathways through the justice system and measures the time between police contacts. In this paper, we give an overview of the Re-contact project which involves a series of internal and external record linkages using data from police services, provincial courts, and provincial and federal correctional services. The files are linked probabilistically using the G-Link software package developed at Statistics Canada. Our results highlight the difficulties in integrating many administrative datasets in one common environment due to the variations in the data availability and data quality, as well as the technical challenges of managing a system where the number of records grows rapidly as new datasets are added.
THE M31 VELOCITY VECTOR. III. FUTURE MILKY WAY M31–M33 ORBITAL EVOLUTION, MERGING, AND FATE OF THE SUN

We study the future orbital evolution and merging of the Milky Way (MW)–M31–M33 system, using a combination of collisionless N-body simulations and semi-analytic orbit integrations. Monte Carlo simulations are used to explore the consequences of varying all relevant initial phase-space and mass parameters within their observational uncertainties. The observed M31 transverse velocity from Papers I and II implies that the MW and M31 will merge t = 5.86+1.61−0.72 Gyr from now. The first pericenter occurs at t = 3.87+0.42−0.32 Gyr, at a pericenter distance of r = 31.0+38.0−19.8 kpc. In 41% of Monte Carlo orbits, M31 makes a direct hit with the MW, defined here as a first-pericenter distance less than 25 kpc. For the M31–M33 system, the first-pericenter time and distance are t = 0.85+0.18−0.13 Gyr and r = 80.8+42.2−31.7 kpc. By the time M31 gets to its first pericenter with the MW, M33 is close to its second pericenter with M31. For the MW–M33 system, the first-pericenter time and distance are t = 3.70+0.74−0.46 Gyr and r = 176.0+239.0−136.9 kpc. The most likely outcome is for the MW and M31 to merge first, with M33 settling onto an orbit around them that may decay toward a merger later. However, there is a 9% probability that M33 makes a direct hit with the MW at its first pericenter, before M31 gets to or collides with the MW. Also, there is a 7% probability that M33 gets ejected from the Local Group, temporarily or permanently. The radial mass profile of the MW–M31 merger remnant is significantly more extended than the original profiles of either the MW or M31, and suggests that the merger remnant will resemble an elliptical galaxy. The Sun will most likely (∼85% probability) end up at a larger radius from the center of the MW–M31 merger remnant than its current distance from the MW center, possibly further than 50 kpc (∼10% probability). There is a ∼20% probability that the Sun will at some time in the next 10 Gyr find itself moving through M33 (within 10 kpc), but while dynamically still bound to the MW–M31 merger remnant. The arrival and possible collision of M31 (and possibly M33) with the MW is the next major cosmic event affecting the environment of our Sun and solar system that can be predicted with some certainty.
Cadmium and lead in the tissues and organs of livestock from an industrially polluted area

The occurrence of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) from industrial emissions was determined in the muscle and liver of cattle from agricultural farms near an industrial plant in Eastern Slovakia. In this study, cows were slaughtered and the concentrations of Cd and Pb analysed by the Unicam Solar 939 atomic absorption spectrometer. The highest levels of Cd and Pb were recorded in the muscle (0.300; 0.854 mg.kg-1) and the liver (0.865; 2.324 mg.kg-1). It was concluded that exposure to an industrial plant can result in a significant increase in levels of contaminants in the muscle tissues and organs of cattle.
