The Distribution of Nerves in the Upper Limb, with reference to Variabilities and their Clinical Significance.

iIIs investigation was undertaken with the following objects: (1) To assist the clinician, by means of measurements, as to the position of origin of important branches of the nerves of the arm and as to the limits within which he may expect to find variations of these branches; (2) to give average positions for the entry of muscular nerves into their respective muscles, and also the variabilities to be expected; (3) to determine the positions at which the larger sensory branches become cutaneous; (4) to study, as far as dissecting-room subjects will permit, the communications taking place between cutaneous nerves; (5) to point out any anatomical anomalies and variabilities found in the nerve supply of the upper limb which may be of significance in helping to elucidate various problems presented clinically by soldiers wounded during the war. Clinical investigation and the surgical treatment of the very numerous cases of peripheral nerv-e injury has shown that a more precise knowledge than is to be found in the standard anatomical textbooks was required about the above points. For this reason 26 adult and eight foetal limbs have been examined. The method employed has been to take measurements accurate to *5 cm. between convenient bony points of the limbs examined. The bony points used were the tip of the acromion process and the tip of the external condyle of the humerus for upper arm measurements, and the tip of the external condvle and the tip of the styloid process of the radius for measurements in the forearm, the limb being always addicted to the side with the forearm supinated. The level at which the branch of the nervee tinder examination arose from its parent trunk, entered a muscle, became cutaneous, etc., was marked off on a vertical scale stretching between the two bony points used. For example, if the distance in an tipper arm was fouiud to be 300 ems. between the tip of the acromion process and the tip of the external condyle of the humerus and the branch of the mutsculo-cutaneouis to the biceps was found to enter this muscle at the
Comparison of Bimodal and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users on Speech Recognition With Competing Talker, Music Perception, Affective Prosody Discrimination, and Talker Identification

Objectives: Despite excellent performance in speech recognition in quiet, most cochlear implant users have great difficulty with speech recognition in noise, music perception, identifying tone of voice, and discriminating different talkers. This may be partly due to the pitch coding in cochlear implant speech processing. Most current speech processing strategies use only the envelope information; the temporal fine structure is discarded. One way to improve electric pitch perception is to use residual acoustic hearing via a hearing aid on the nonimplanted ear (bimodal hearing). This study aimed to test the hypothesis that bimodal users would perform better than bilateral cochlear implant users on tasks requiring good pitch perception. Design: Four pitch-related tasks were used.Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) sentences spoken by a male talker with a competing female, male, or child talker.Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia. This is a music test with six subtests examining pitch, rhythm and timing perception, and musical memory.Aprosodia Battery. This has five subtests evaluating aspects of affective prosody and recognition of sarcasm.Talker identification using vowels spoken by 10 different talkers (three men, three women, two boys, and two girls). Bilateral cochlear implant users were chosen as the comparison group. Thirteen bimodal and 13 bilateral adult cochlear implant users were recruited; all had good speech perception in quiet. Results: There were no significant differences between the mean scores of the bimodal and bilateral groups on any of the tests, although the bimodal group did perform better than the bilateral group on almost all tests. Performance on the different pitch-related tasks was not correlated, meaning that if a subject performed one task well they would not necessarily perform well on another. The correlation between the bimodal users' hearing threshold levels in the aided ear and their performance on these tasks was weak. Conclusions: Although the bimodal cochlear implant group performed better than the bilateral group on most parts of the four pitch-related tests, the differences were not statistically significant. The lack of correlation between test results shows that the tasks used are not simply providing a measure of pitch ability. Even if the bimodal users have better pitch perception, the real-world tasks used are reflecting more diverse skills than pitch. This research adds to the existing speech perception, language, and localization studies that show no significant difference between bimodal and bilateral cochlear implant users.

Replication-Defective Adenovirus Vectors with Multiple Deletions Do Not Induce Measurable Vector-Specific T Cells in Human Trials

ABSTRACT The magnitude and character of adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5)-specific T cells were determined in volunteers with and without preexisting neutralizing antibodies (NAs) to Ad5 who received replication-defective Ad5 (rAd5)-based human immunodeficiency virus vaccines. There was no correlation between T-cell responses and NAs to Ad5. There was no increase in magnitude or activation state of Ad5-specific CD4+ T cells at time points where antibodies to Ad5 and T-cell responses to the recombinant gene products could be measured. These data indicate that rAd5-based vaccines containing deletions in the E1, E3, and E4 regions do not induce appreciable expansion of vector-specific CD4+ T cells.
Measuring Financial Literacy of University Academics

This research analyzed Financial Literacy among University lecturers. A sample of 132academics were selected from thelargest university in the national university system in Sri Lanka to collect data using a structured questionnaire, consisting of 44 questions. Main objective of the study was to measure the level of basic financial literacy of university academics.The study found that the, overall financial literacy of the academics (68.52%) is at a medium level. The knowledge aspect, which was 75.9% is at a medium level, the attitudes aspect, which was 69.7% is also at a medium level. The level of desirable financial behavior of the academics is at a low level of 59.96%. An important observation is that, although, knowledge and attitudes aspects are at a medium level, behavior aspect is at a low level. This suggests that financial knowledge and attitudes of the academics are not fully reflected in their financial behavior. Thus, a behavioral change in academics is needed where they would fully reflect their knowledge and attitudes in their behavior.
[Effects of simvastatin on pulmonary nuclear factor-κB and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in rats with lung injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion of the hind limbs].

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in the lung tissue of rats with lung injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of the hind limbs. METHODS Forty-eight male adult SD rats were randomized into 6 equal groups, including a sham-operated group, an IR group, 3 IR+simvastatin groups with intragastric administration of 1, 5, or 10 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1) for 3 days, and a simvastatin control group treated with 10 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1) simvastatin. IR of the hind limbs was induced in the 4 IR groups by occlusion of bilateral femoral arteries for 2 h followed by a 3-h reperfusion. The rats were sacrificed at the end of reperfusion and the arterial blood was taken for blood gas analysis. The lungs were immediately removed for pathological examination and determination of the lung Wet/dry weight ratio (W/D), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) counting. The expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA and ICAM-1 protein in the lungs was detected using RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS Alveolar edema, localized pulmonary atelectasis and large amount of PMN infiltration were found in IR group, and these changes were ameliorated in the 3 simvastatin groups (S(1), S(5), S(10)). Lung W/D, MPO activity and PMN counting were significantly increased in IR group as compared with the sham-operated group (P<0.01). Lung W/D, MPO activity and PMN counting were significantly lowered in the 3 simvastatin groups as compared with IR group (P<0.01). IR-induced decrease in PaO(2) was significantly increased in the 3 simvastatin groups (P<0.01), which also showed significantly lowered expressions of NF-κB p65mRNA and ICAM-1 protein in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Simvastatin attenuates lung injury induced by IR of the hind limbs in rats by suppressing the activation of NF-κB and subsequent accumulation of neutrophils mediated by ICAM-1.
Physiological studies of the anal sphincter musculature in faecal incontinence and rectal prolapse

The clinical, anorectal manometric and electrophysiological findings in 24 patients with faecal incontinence, 10 of whom also had rectal prolapse, and in 8 patients with rectal prolapse without incontinence, are reported. Single fibre electromyographic studies and anal reflex latencies were abnormal, indicating damage to the innervation of the pelvic floor musculature, in all the patients with faecal incontinence, with or without rectal prolapse. These studies were normal in 7 of the 8 patients in whom rectal prolapse occurred without incontinence. These investigations imply that denervation of the sphincter musculature can be recognized by electrophysiological tests in most patients with primary faecal incontinence and that the pathogenesis of rectal prolapse differed in the two groups of patients.
Cell-to-cell movement of mitochondria in plants

Significance We report cell-to-cell movement of mitochondria through a graft junction of two tobacco species, Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana sylvestris. The flowers of the N. tabacum line we used are male sterile due to a sterility-causing mitochondrial genome, whereas the N. sylvestris flowers are fertile. Grafting created an opportunity for organelle movement during the healing process when cell-to-cell connections at the graft junction were restored. We recognized N. sylvestris mitochondrial DNA transfer by restoration of fertile flower anatomy in plants regenerated from graft junctions. Demonstrating cell-to-cell movement of mitochondria reconstructs the evolutionary process of horizontal mitochondrial DNA transfer and enables modification of mitochondria by DNA acquired from other species. We report cell-to-cell movement of mitochondria through a graft junction. Mitochondrial movement was discovered in an experiment designed to select for chloroplast transfer from Nicotiana sylvestris into Nicotiana tabacum cells. The alloplasmic N. tabacum line we used carries Nicotiana undulata cytoplasmic genomes, and its flowers are male sterile due to the foreign mitochondrial genome. Thus, rare mitochondrial DNA transfer from N. sylvestris to N. tabacum could be recognized by restoration of fertile flower anatomy. Analyses of the mitochondrial genomes revealed extensive recombination, tentatively linking male sterility to orf293, a mitochondrial gene causing homeotic conversion of anthers into petals. Demonstrating cell-to-cell movement of mitochondria reconstructs the evolutionary process of horizontal mitochondrial DNA transfer and enables modification of the mitochondrial genome by DNA transmitted from a sexually incompatible species. Conversion of anthers into petals is a visual marker that can be useful for mitochondrial transformation.

Evaluation of a New Phenotypic OXA-48 Disk Test for Differentiation of OXA-48 Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Clinical Isolates

ABSTRACT The current phenotypic methods for detecting carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) allow differentiation between class A and B carbapenemases, but they cannot confirm in a single test class D OXA-48 carbapenemase producers. In this study, we evaluated a new phenotypic test, the OXA-48 disk test, which is based on an imipenem disk and two blank disks adjacent to the imipenem disk, loaded with the tested strain and impregnated with EDTA and EDTA plus phenyl boronic acid (PBA), respectively. The evaluation of the OXA-48 disk test was performed with 81 genotypically confirmed OXA-48-type-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates (41 extended-spectrum β-lactamase [ESBL] producers, 3 AmpC producers, and 37 non-ESBL, non-AmpC producers). To measure the specificity of the test, 173 genotypically confirmed OXA-48-negative Enterobacteriaceae isolates (57 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase [KPC] producers, 34 VIM producers, 23 KPC/VIM producers, 22 NDM producers, and 37 AmpC or ESBL producers and porin deficient) that were nonsusceptible to at least one carbapenem were chosen for testing. Using the imipenem disk and the distortion of the inhibition halo around both blank disks containing EDTA and EDTA/PBA, the test differentiated all but 3 of the 81 OXA-48 producers (sensitivity of 96.3%). The test was negative for OXA-48 production in all but 4 of the 173 carbapenem-nonsusceptible isolates producing other carbapenemases, AmpCs, or ESBLs (specificity of 97.7%). This evaluation shows that the OXA-48 disk test is an accurate phenotypic method for the direct differentiation of OXA-48-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Its use along with combined disk tests employing inhibitor-supplemented carbapenem disks might allow the differentiation of the currently known carbapenemase types in Enterobacteriaceae species and provide important infection control information.
P3B-7 Study on Harmonic Pulse Compression Imaging with Consideration of Harmonic Property

Tissue harmonic imaging can get fine images, and by adopting pulse compression technique to it, imaging with high signal-to-noise ratio can be realized besides. In order to achieve optimal pulse compression, it is important to prepare and use a suitable template waveform. However, since tissue harmonic component in echo signal has complicated characteristics, such the template is difficult to be completely known. In this study, we investigate the relationship between template waveforms used in harmonic pulse compression imaging and compressed waveforms experimentally.
An Epidemic of Otitis in Newborns due to Infection with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Otitis of the external or media type is rare in the newborn period and in general is not specifically mentioned in current textbooks of pediatrics or ear-nose-throat diseases with some exceptions [17, 201. It has been reported as occurring mainly in connection with prematurity, malformations, chronic or other debilitating conditions [15, 201. Iatrogenic infections with pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P . A.) have been reported in recent literature [3, 9, 111 and the incidence of such infections is probably increasing. The widespread use of technical apparatus, which incorporates water or humidified gases, with associated difficulties in sterilization, are considered largely responsible for this increase [3, 61. The present report includes a series of newborns with infections of the external auditory canal and middle ear and points at one of the potential hazards of routinely bathing newborn babies in hospi tals.
Influence of competitive strategies on corporate performance of small and medium enterprises: a case from Nigeria

Purpose. The objectives of the study were to identify whether adoption of cost leadership strategy assist in reducing the cost operation of small and medium enterprises and also to determine the effect of differentiation strategy on the sales turnover of SMEs, Series of questions were asked using the questionnaire adopted by the researcher. Methodology / approach. Two hypotheses were proposed and tested in the study. Samples of 125 were drawn. The data were analyzed using simple frequency tables and regression analysis. However, for the purpose of this study the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed. To ensure the accuracy of the study this research used the Yamane formula in determining sample size. The coefficient alpha (Cronbach’s alpha) was used to test the reliability of the measurement scale. Results. The study critically examined the influence Competitive Strategies on Corporate Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises. The research found out that cost leadership strategy has significant effect on cost reduction of small and medium enterprises indicating that when firms are adopt good cost leadership strategy, they tend to reduce their cost of operations. Originality / scientific novelty. The results of regression analysis revealed that adoption of competitive strategies usually impacts positively on the performance of the SMEs and that competitive strategy has significant relationship on company’s market share. Therefore it is important for small and medium enterprises to learn more innovative ways of pleasing and satisfying the needs of employees at work to increase sales turnover of their business. Practical value / implications. This study has further proven that organizations achieve a great efficiency gain by engaging in high differentiation strategy by creating products to respond to the evolving market. Based on the above findings, it is recommended that Competitive Strategies should be adopted in a way that would boost the performance of the SMEs organizations in general.
Nasal Reflexes

Nasal reflexes are neurally mediated reactions which arise either through direct stimulation of the nasal mucosa or through stimulation of pathways elsewhere in the body which indirectly involve the nose. The neural pathways involved in these reactions are complex, and the exact nature of the stimuli which trigger these reflexes has not been completely detailed. This review presents a discussion on the innervation of the nose, updates the current understanding about nasal neuropeptides, and then summarizes information about several different types of nasal reflexes.
Discrete Traits of the Sternum and Ribs: A Useful Contribution to Identification in Forensic Anthropology and Medicine

During forensic anthropological investigation, biological profile is determined by age, sex, ancestry, and stature. However, several individuals may share the same profile. Observation of discrete traits can yield useful information and contribute to identification. This research establishes the frequency of discrete traits of the sternum and ribs in a modern population in southern France, using 500 computer tomography (CT) scans of individuals aged 15–60 years. Only discrete traits with a frequency lower than 10% according to the literature were considered, a total of eight traits. All scans examined were three‐dimensional (3D) volume renderings from DICOM images. In our population, the frequency of all the discrete traits was lower than 5%. None were associated with sex or age, with the exception of a single trait, the end of the xiphoid process. Our findings can usefully be applied for identification purposes in forensic anthropology and medicine.

Buying Unicorns: The Impact of Consumer-to-Consumer Branded Buy/Sell/Trade Communities on Traditional Retail Buying Behavior

Branded buy/sell/trade (BBST) is a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) selling phenomenon that is both massive in scale and meaningful in its impact on consumer behavior and the traditional retailing landscape. Consumers buy, sell, and trade one focal brand’s products in these social media-hosted, consumer-initiated communities. This article introduces the phenomenon, differentiates it from other forms of C2C exchange, and explores relationships between members and the brand. Although brands may view these activities as a potential threat to retail sales, the effects are more complex and paradoxical. The authors present data collected from Facebook, in-depth interviews, and a survey. Findings suggest that buyer-sellers experience greater member closeness and spend more in traditional retail settings on the brand’s products than strictly buyers, indicating that transactional engagement has positive member and brand outcomes. This research contributes to our understanding of C2C exchange and BBST engagement’s effects on consumers and brands.
