Association Between Gout Flare and Subsequent Cardiovascular Events Among Patients With Gout

Gout is associated with cardiovascular diseases. The temporal association between gout flares and cardiovascular events has not been investigated.To investigate whether there is a transient increase in risk of cardiovascular events after a recent gout flare.A retrospective observational study was conducted using electronic health records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink in England between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 2020. A multivariable nested case-control study was performed among 62 574 patients with gout, and a self-controlled case series, adjusted for season and age, was performed among 1421 patients with gout flare and cardiovascular event.Gout flares were ascertained using hospitalization, primary care outpatient, and prescription records.The primary outcome was a cardiovascular event, defined as an acute myocardial infarction or stroke. Association with recent prior gout flares was measured using adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs in a nested case-control study and adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% CIs in a self-controlled case series.Among patients with a new diagnosis of gout (mean age, 76.5 years; 69.3% men, 30.7% women), 10 475 patients with subsequent cardiovascular events were matched with 52 099 patients without cardiovascular events. Patients with cardiovascular events, compared with those who did not have cardiovascular events, had significantly higher odds of gout flare within the prior 0 to 60 days (204/10 475 [2.0%] vs 743/52 099 [1.4%]; adjusted OR, 1.93 [95% CI, 1.57-2.38]) and within the prior 61 to 120 days (170/10 475 [1.6%] vs 628/52 099 [1.2%]; adjusted OR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.26-1.96]). There was no significant difference in the odds of gout flare within the prior 121 to 180 days (148/10 475 [1.4%] vs 662/52 099 [1.3%]; adjusted OR, 1.06 [95% CI, 0.84-1.34]). In the self-controlled case series (N = 1421), cardiovascular event rates per 1000 person-days were 2.49 (95% CI, 2.16-2.82) within days 0 to 60; 2.16 (95% CI, 1.85-2.47) within days 61 to 120; and 1.70 (95% CI, 1.42-1.98) within days 121 to 180 after a gout flare, compared with cardiovascular event rates of 1.32 (95% CI, 1.23-1.41) per 1000 person-days within the 150 days before or the 181 to 540 days after the gout flare. Compared with 150 days before or the 181 to 540 days after a gout flare, incidence rate differences for cardiovascular events were 1.17 (95% CI, 0.83-1.52) per 1000 person-days, and adjusted IRRs were 1.89 (95% CI, 1.54-2.30) within days 0 to 60; 0.84 (95% CI, 0.52-1.17) per 1000 person-days and 1.64 (95% CI, 1.45-1.86) within days 61 to 120; and 0.38 (95% CI, 0.09-0.67) per 1000 person-days and 1.29 (95% CI, 1.02-1.64) within days 121 to 180 after a gout flare.Among individuals with gout, those who experienced a cardiovascular event, compared with those who did not experience such an event, had significantly higher odds of a recent gout flare in the preceding days. These findings suggest gout flares are associated with a transient increase in cardiovascular events following the flare.
1927 and the rise of modern America

When Charles Lindbergh landed at LeBourget Airfield on May 21, 1927, his transatlantic flight symbolized the new era - not only in aviation but also in American culture. The 1920s proved to be a transitional decade for the United States, shifting the nation from a production-driven economy to a consumption-based one, with adventurous citizens breaking new ground even as many others continued clinging to an outmoded status quo. In his new book, Charles Shindo reveals how one year in particular encapsulated the complexity of this transformation in American culture. Shindo's absorbing look at 1927 shatters the stereotypes of the Roaring '20s as a time of frivolity and excess, revealing instead a society torn between holding on to its glorious past while trying to navigate a brave new world. His book is a compelling and entertaining dissection of the year that has come to represent the apex of 1920s culture, combining references from popular films, music, literature, sports, and politics in a captivating look back at change in the making. As Shindo notes, while Lindbergh's flight was a defining event, there were others: The Jazz Singer, for example, brought sound to the movies, and the 15 millionth Model T rolled off of Ford's assembly line. Meanwhile, the era's supposed live-for-today frivolity was clouded by Prohibition, the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, and the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. Such events, Shindo explains, reflected a fundamental disquiet running beneath the surface of a nation seeking to accommodate and understand a broad array of changes - from new technology to natural disasters, from women's forays into the electorate to African-Americans' migration to the urban north. Shindo, however, also notes that this was an era of celebrity. He not only examines why Lindbergh and Ford were celebrated but also considers the rise and growing popularity of the infamous, like convicted murderers Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray, and he illuminates the explosive growth of professional sports and stars like baseball's Babe Ruth. In addition, he takes a close look at cinematic heroines like Mary Pickford and the 'It' girl Clara Bow to demonstrate the conflicting images of women in popular culture. Distinctive and insightful, Shindo's richly detailed analysis of 1927's key events and personalities reveals the multifaceted ways in which people actually came to grips with change and learned to embrace an increasingly modern America.
DEVICE FOR FAST RESPONSE TO GRID-SIDE DISRUPTIONS IN PLANTS

The invention relates to a device (100) for regulating a power plant, wherein, in case of malfunction, such as a 3-pole short-circuit, the regulating task is no longer undertaken by the central control unit (62) but rather by a separate fault module (63).
Nature Based Solutions for Domestic Water Reuse in Mediterranean Countries

In Mediterranean countries, domestic water use accounts for a minor part of water consumption - a much larger quantity is used for irrigation - but it requires the best quality and its demand is continuously growing, along with improving lifestyle and increasing urban population. Moreover, urban water is still the main cause of pollution of rivers and groundwater, even when treated before being discharged. Per capita domestic water use can be drastically reduced by using non-conventional water (NCW) resources for not potable purposes: greywater (and rainwater when available) can be reused for WC flushing and irrigation but requires the implementation of decentralised treatment systems, serving one or a few buildings. NAWAMED aims at changing the urban water management practice by mean of innovative, sustainable, and low-cost treatment technologies, applicable in a decentralised way, to replace the use of potable water with good quality of NCW.
State transitions in ultracompact neutron star LMXBs: towards the low-luminosity limit

Luminosity of X-ray spectral state transitions in black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries can put constraint on the critical mass accretion rate between accretion regimes. Previous studies indicate that the hard-to-soft spectral state transitions in some ultracompact neutron star LMXBs have the lowest luminosity. With X-ray monitoring observations in the past decade, we were able to identify state transitions towards the lowest luminosity limit in 4U 0614+091, 2S 0918-549 and 4U 1246-588. By analysing corresponding X-ray pointed observations with the Swift/XRT and the RXTE/PCA, we found no hysteresis of state transitions in these sources, and determined the critical mass accretion rate in the range of 0.002 - 0.04 $\dot{\rm M}_{\rm Edd}$ and 0.003 - 0.05 $\dot{\rm M}_{\rm Edd}$ for the hard-to-soft and the soft-to-hard transition, respectively, by assuming a neutron star mass of 1.4 solar masses. This range is comparable to the lowest transition luminosity measured in black hole X-ray binaries, indicating the critical mass accretion rate is not affected by the nature of the surface of the compact stars. Our result does not support the Advection-Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF) model which predicts that the critical mass accretion rate in neutron star systems is an order of magnitude lower if same viscosity parameters are taken. The low transition luminosity and insignificant hysteresis in these ultracompact X-ray binaries provide further evidence that the transition luminosity is likely related to the mass in the disc.
Refactoring parallel heterogeneous resource-aware applications  - a software engineering approach

The RePhrase project directly meets the challenge of ICT-09-2014, by studying the critically important issue of improving software development practice for parallel data-intensive applications. Data-intensive applications are among the most important and commonly encountered kinds of industrial application, and are increasingly important with
the emergence of ""big data"" problems. Emerging heterogeneous parallel architectures form ideal platforms to exploit the
massive-scale inherent parallelism that is usually implicit in such applications, but which is often difficult to extract in practice. 
Solving this problem will bring major economic benefits to the software industry.
To address this challenge, RePhrase brings together a team of leading industrial and academic researchers, software engineers, systems developers, parallelism experts and domain experts from large companies, SMEs and leading universities. It aims to develop a novel software engineering methodology for developing complex, large-scale parallel data-intensive applications, supported by a very high-level programming model. We will exploit advanced pattern-based programming, refactoring, testing, debugging, verification and adaptive-scheduling technologies to build an interoperable tool-chain supporting our methodology, based on but significantly extending existing industrial and research tools. These tools will significantly ease, and even automate, all phases of typical software development, from design and implementation to long-term maintenance and software evolution. The generality of our approach will be ensured by targeting C++ and the most popular low-level parallel programming models, such as the C++11/14/17 standards, pthreads, OpenMP, Intel TBB, OpenCL and CUDA.  We will demonstrate our approach on a range of large-scale data-intensive applications, taken from different domains, including bio-medical image processing, data analysis, machine learning, computer vision and railway diagnosis.
Ehealth hub, the european hub for ehealth business support

The business opportunities in eHealth are equally as important as the health care challenges they are trying to solve. Therefore, the participation of this emerging industry in building a strong EU economy is potentially proportional to the impact it will have on the health of our citizens.

If the eHealth market is accelerating globally, it is still up and coming in Europe and has not accelerated to its full speed. The number of EU eHealth SMEs is on the rise, investments are starting to flow, insurance companies are starting to reimburse digital solutions, and the rest of the stakeholders in the ecosystem are getting increasingly involved. NOW seems like the perfect time for a big push to support the growth of our eHealth SMEs.
 
Europe counts a number of support initiatives for eHealth SMEs. However, they are usually local or regional, short-term, not supporting eHealth SMEs at various stages of development, lacking a strong vertical focus and never addressing all the challenges facing European eHealth SMEs. Incubators and accelerators are popping up here and there but with a limited impact: their support is short term, targets early stage start-ups, usually requires a relocation and is costly in terms of equity for SMEs. Regional development agencies are also helping start-ups in their respective backyards but they usually lack a vertical focus and a cross-border reach into 28 complicated health systems.

This proposal describes the creation of a support system that is cross-border, sustainable, highly specialized on the eHealth vertical, providing long-term support at various stages of development, and addressing all the challenges facing European eHealth SMEs: finding the right business model, accessing finance, connecting with the demand side and accelerating their commercialization, getting legal and regulatory guidance to develop their solution in compliance with a multi-layer complicated framework.
The impact of ambidexterity in supply chain capabilities on manufacturing performance: examples from the global semiconductor industry

As environmental complexity and economic turbulence continue to rise, an organisation's ability to quickly and continually respond to changing market conditions is increasingly important and heavily reliant on those supply chain capabilities that enable the firm to communicate with their chain partners, streamline supply chain operations and quickly respond to unforeseen industry changes. This responsiveness means that firms must be able to simultaneously balance the conflicting tensions associated with managing existing and growth product markets in a timely fashion. Using the concept of ambidexterity, this conceptual study examines the impacts that a manufacturer's ambidextrous supply chain technological capability has on its supply chain integration and ambidexterity in supply chain responsiveness, and ultimately on its performance. Propositions are given, with each one being accompanied by an example from the global semiconductor industry. Lastly, contributions, research limitations, and research and managerial implications are discussed.
Probability Characteristics of Random Processes

Statistics of above-threshold excursions of a random process are useful in solving many problems of practical importance. In spite of the fact that for decades excursions of stationary random processes have been the focus of attention of a number of researchers, the development of excursion theory is far from its completion. The reason for that is the difficulty of describing the subtle nature of random processes by means of mathematics in such a way that would allow us to estimate a variety of distribution functions, for example, the distribution of widths of above-threshold excursions, the distribution of areas enveloped by the signal excursions, the distribution of time periods required for a signal to reach certain limits, the distribution of extrema amplitudes, etc. A random process structure can be described only if we know all of the above random variables. They provide more information on the process than integral characteristics, such as the power spectrum and correlation function.

Section 1.1 offers a short historical sketch of methods applied for studying parameters of excursions in broadband random processes. Some examples of using excursion statistics for practical purposes are given in Section 1.2.

The areas of application covered include telecommunications, radio positioning, medical instrumentation industry, estimating excessive load in mechanical structures, estimating the impact of ionospheric and tropospheric factors on radio wave propagation, and surface-finish monitoring, to mention just a few.
Development of a chemical biology toolbox for deciphering the ubiquitin code

Cells respond to external and internal stimuli by dynamically altering the functional status of existing proteins via post-translational modifications (PTMs). One of the most common and versatile PTMs in eukaryotic cells is represented by the covalent attachment of the 76-amino acid protein ubiquitin (Ub) to substrate proteins (ubiquitylation). Substrate modifications range from a single Ub moiety being attached to a protein of interest to complex polymeric Ub chains that can also contain Ub-like proteins (Ubls). Ubiquitylation plays pivotal roles in nearly all aspects of eukaryotic biology and cells dedicate an orchestrated arsenal of enzymes to install (writer proteins), translate (reader proteins) and reverse (eraser proteins) these modifications. The entirety of this complex regulatory system has been coined the Ub code. As many different human diseases, including different types of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases are being linked to dysfunctions in Ubl-related pathways, it is of utmost importance to decipher the Ub code.
Within Ubl-tool we devise a modular and interdisciplinary chemical and synthetic biology platform for studying aspects of ubiquitylation that are challenging or impossible to be addressed by more traditional technologies. We will develop innovative toolkits for generating defined Ubl architectures, including mixed, branched and hybrid Ubl chains and we will apply these tools for identifying novel reader proteins as well as for studying the functional impact of these complex types of modifications on critical cellular processes. Given its fundamental importance in eukaryotic biology, the Ub system has attracted considerable interest and promise as therapeutic target. We aim at identifying new drug targets within the Ub system by developing in cellulo activity-based probes that allow profiling activities and specificities of Ub eraser enzymes, laying thereby the foundation for the discovery of next-generation therapeutics.
Albumin particles for intra-articular delivery of celecoxib to treat osteoarthritic inflammation.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic condition of the joints and is predicted to become the fourth largest cause of disability in the world by 2020. Its complete mechanism is yet to be deciphered. Though it is not curable, several medications are prescribed to manage the symptomatic OA, of which the oral and topical medications have shortcomings and the better option is the intra-articular (IA) delivery of free corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid. However, IA delivery is challenging due to the rapid clearance of the free injected molecules from the joint space and outcomes are suboptimal in terms of efficacy and a need for repeated injections. Our objective therefore is to load a candidate drug in a long-acting delivery system and inject it directly into the inflamed knee of a rat model of OA, following in vitro bioassay screening in primary human synoviocytes. Thus, in this project, we propose to develop non-toxic, biocompatible and biodegradable albumin particles loaded with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, celecoxib. This method is expected to reduce the side-effects associated with oral administration of celecoxib. In addition, it will also increase the drug local concentration in the joint and the controlled release of the drug will lead to reduction of inflammatory biomarkers in joints. The project is in line with the EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme focus area - Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing and UN Sustainable Development goal - Good Health and Well-Being. It will be carried out by the researcher and supervisors who are experts in DDSs development, OA therapy and translational pharmaceutics. Both the researcher and the host are expected to benefit in this collaboration and the researcher will gain experience that will increase her future employability. The project will have great societal impact and commercial potential and will also help increase Europe’s position as the leading source of cutting-edge research.
Factors Influencing the Selection of Methods and Determination of Transfer Pricing in Multinational Companies: A Case Study of United Kingdom

One of the main problems of multinational companies occurs while determining the transfer pricing methodology on transfer pricing. Nevertheless, there are many different factors that influence the transfer prices. These factors can be classified as legal, political, internal and external factors. In this study, starting with the most significant point which can be called as the definition of transfer pricing, methodology of transfer pricing and the factors that affect the determination of transfer prices are investigated briefly. Besides the British application on transfer pricing, legal procedures and the studies with relevant application are reported with their results.
