Petrofiktion og politisk økonomi i den sene fossile kapitals tidsalder
Authors: Riddle Amy
Published: August 2020

Fra titlen til de sidste scener i Helon Habilas roman Olie på vand (2010) præsenterer olie sig som stemning, miljø og atmosfære. Når fortælleren Rufus baner sig vej ind i Nigerdeltaet er atmosfæren tung med ”den luftbårne dunst af død materie… grene beklædt med døde fugle, de udstrakte vinger sorte og glatte af olie” og græs ”kvalt af en film af olie, hvert strå dækket med klatter, som leverpletter på en rygers hånd” (Habila 9f). Olie forsegler atmosfæren i Olie på vand i en sådan grad, at forskellige ting – lugte, fugle, græs – bliver udtryk for den samme ting. Når vi når til midten af romanen, er selv de indsatte i fængslet således dækket af olie som straf, i hvad romanen kalder en ”brutal salvelse” (Habila 60). I romanens sidste scene bliver ”litervis af olie, der flyder på vandet” beskrevet som en ”løkke, der strammer om halsen på enhver livsform, der befinder sig nedenunder” (Habila 238). I Abdelrahman Munifs Byer af salt (1984) – romanen, der inspirerede Amitav Ghosh til i en anmeldelse at opfinde begrebet petrofiktion – arbejder råolien derimod bag scenerne på betydningsfulde måder, men er aldrig fysisk tilstede (se Ghosh 138-151). Hvorfor denne overflod af fysiske beskrivelser af olie i romaner af nyere dato?

Investigating the Domestic Layers Adaptation During Pandemic
Authors: Karimah Afifah , Paramita Kristanti Dewi
Published: August 2020

This paper expands the theoretical understanding of building layers proposed by Brand (1995) by investigating changes in the domestic environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brand’s layer framework breaks a built environment into “shearing layers” to examine its adaptation processes. This paper argues that ways of managing the risk of virus transmission in the built environment redefine the understanding of these layers. This paper takes the perspective of interiority to address these layers as instruments with the spatial qualities required of a resilient domestic environment. The study unpacks the theory of Brand’s layer framework, proposing the principles by which layers adapt to protect the domestic environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. It then offers readings on the occurrence of change in the domestic environment in which such adaptation principles are performed. Such occurrences consist of intensifying layer changes to assist intense uses, merge between layers to assist movements, the construction of new layer forms, and reconfiguration of multiple layers for a prolonged change. Apart from redefining the very understanding of layers, this paper addresses how spatial change is not driven only by physical deterioration, but also by the performative creation of scenarios to protect the domestic environment during the pandemic.

Meskipun ilmu tentang asesmen sebagai pengukuran berkembang pesat di bidang psikologi, namun asesmen psikologi di arena alamiah (natural setting) masih belum banyak dibahas, dibandingkan dengan pembahasan tentang asesmen dan pengukuran psikologi di setting khusus seperti di ruang klinik dan industriDiperlukan suatu metode asesmen yang menjadikan komunitas bukan hanya sebagai tempat munculnya perilaku, melainkan sebagai modalitas yang menjadi bagian dari perilaku. Memanfaatkan keilmuan psikologi komunitas, dan etnografi, studi ini mengeksplorasi potensi etnografi sebagai instrumen untuk asesmen psikologi di setting alamiah. Kami memberikan contoh riset yang kami lakukan untuk menggambarkan pendekatan psikoetnografi. Riset tindakan dipilih sebagai pendekatan, dengan memanfaatkan mata kuliah etnografi yang diselenggarakan di program pasca sarjana psikologi. Tiga dosen dan lima mahasiswa peserta mata kuliah tersebut adalah tim peneliti, tiga lokasi dipilih, dan para mahasiswa belajar metode dan contoh-contoh etnografi di kelas, lalu mempraktekkan etnografi. Data yang dihasilkan berupa catatan etnografi, logbook kegiatan lapangan, dan laporan dalam format makalah, selanjutnya diperlakukan sebagai data asesmen yang akan diinterpretasikan aspek psikologisnya. Interpretasi yang dilakukan menunjukkan kemampuan etnografi untuk menghasilkan data psikologis yang dibutuhkan untuk asesmen psikologi. Dengan demikian, psikoetnografi dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai alat kerja psikolog untuk melakukan asesmen psikologi pada sekelompok individu di  setting komunitas sebagai lingkungan naturalnya.
Cdc13 is predominant over Stn1 and Ten1 in preventing chromosome end fusions

Published: August 2020

Telomeres define the natural ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and are crucial for chromosomal stability. The budding yeast Cdc13, Stn1 and Ten1 proteins form a heterotrimeric complex, and the inactivation of any of its subunits leads to a uniformly lethal phenotype due to telomere deprotection. Although Cdc13, Stn1 and Ten1 seem to belong to an epistasis group, it remains unclear whether they function differently in telomere protection. Here, we employed the single-linear-chromosome yeast SY14, and surprisingly found that the deletion ofCDC13leads to telomere erosion and intrachromosome end-to-end fusion, which depends on Rad52 but not Yku. Interestingly, the emergence frequency of survivors in the SY14cdc13Δ mutant was ~29 fold higher than that in either thestn1Δ orten1Δ mutant, demonstrating a predominant role of Cdc13 in inhibiting telomere fusion. Chromosomal fusion readily occurred in the telomerase-null SY14 strain, further verifying the default role of intact telomeres in inhibiting chromosome fusion.

Perspectiva construcionista social e dimensão cultural: contribuições para os estudos organizacionais
Authors: Veloso Fabiana Regina , Stocker Fabricio , Bulgacov Yara Lúcia Mazziotti , Carvalho Andriele de Prá
Published: August 2020

Com o advento da modernidade as organizações tornaram-se o cerne da vida social. O interesse em compreender este fenômeno aproximou os estudos organizacionais dos estudos sociais, o que tem proporcionado a construção de teorias capazes de explicar as relações que inserem as práticas organizacionais no processo de organização social. Desse modo, justifica-se compreender em profundidade as premissas ontológicas e epistemológicas na medida em que estas fundamentam teorias e consequentemente metodologias, para que sejam evitados equívocos e incoerências na realização de pesquisas científicas. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender e ampliar estudos que partem de uma visão construcionista social quando considerada a dimensão cultural. Para isso, recorreu-se à revisão sistemática da literatura internacional que versam sobre estudos culturais fundamentados no construcionismo. A análise final possibilitou destacar contribuições teóricas e metodológicas coerentes epistemologicamente, indicar as inconsistências nos trabalhos analisados, esclarecer lacunas e apontar caminhos para ampliar pesquisas culturais sócio-construcionistas.

Authors: Ivo Makwe Stella , Mike Anyanwaokoro , Caminus Ijeoma Uchenna
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this study was to investigate the financial intermediation and growth linkage in the Nigerian Economy with focus on the Insurance sector covering the period 1981 to 2018. Annual time series from Central Bank Statistical Bulletin was employed following an ex-post facto research design and using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) for empirical analyses. It was found that insurance premium and insurance claims significantly affected the growth rate of the economy. It is therefore recommended that the intermediation roles of the financial system should be encouraged and due attention given to the hitherto neglected insurance sector to allow for all-inclusive growth.
Droplet Digital PCR – A Superior Complementary Technique for SARS-CoV-2 Detection

Published: August 2020

Accurate and timely SARS-CoV-2 detection in suspected persons is crucial in the fight against its spread. Many techniques have been developed to meet up with the continuously growing demand, however some of these techniques lack the required accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The current reference standard technique for SARS-CoV-2 detection is RT-PCR, but studies have shown that false-negative results are inevitable and data can be non-reproducible when samples and primers are not appropriately verified and validated. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a newly introduced technique that performs precise nucleic acid quantification. Researchers have evaluated the efficacy of ddPCR and the technique has shown promising results even in specimens with low viral load. ddPCR has shown increased accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, it is less affected by annealing and amplification inhibitors. This suggests that ddPCR can be used as a complementary detection technique especially in convalescent cases.

Published: August 2020

A field experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India, during summer 2019 to study about the changes in physiological parameters of rice under various establishment and water management strategies and to find out the suitable method of rice establishment and irrigation management practices for tank irrigated command areas during water scarcity situation. Field experiment comprised of four establishment methods in combination with four irrigation management strategies. Medium duration fine grain rice variety TKM 13 was used for the study. Results of the study revealed that machine transplanting under unpuddled soil combined with irrigation after formation of hairline crack recorded improved physiological parameters and yield. It was on par with machine transplanting under unpuddled soil combined with irrigation when water level reaches 5 cm below soil surface. Higher gross return, net return and B:C ratio were observed with machine transplanting under unpuddled soil combined with irrigation after formation of hairline crack. This was followed by machine transplanting under unpuddled soil combined with irrigation when water level reaches 5 cm below soil. Hence, the result of study concluded that machine transplanting under unpuddled soil combined with irrigation when water level reaches 5 cm below soil surface can be recommended as the suitable technology for the farmers of tank irrigated command area to get higher return with minimum use of resources under water scarcity situation.

Methodology: The study consisted of a survey that was developed using a survey of previous study and after validation it was converted to online form and was distributed to be filled by the public.

Results: Public awareness regarding colon cancer is suboptimal, improving colon cancer awareness with educational interventions is needed specially for vulnerable people.

Conclusion: Serious active measures should be taken to fill the gap in awareness of this disease for the public and health care workers.
On the Synergic Relationships between Special Relativity and Quantum Theories
Authors: Comay E.
Published: August 2020

The successful results of the relativistic form of a quantum field theory that is derived from aLagrangian density justify its general usage. The significance of the Euler-Lagrange equations of a quantum particle is analysed. Many advantages of this approach, like abiding by the conservation laws of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and charge are well known. The merits of this approach also include other properties that are still not well known. For example, it is shown that a quantum function of the form ψ(t, r) describes a pointlike particle. Furthermore, the Lagrangian density and the Hamiltonian density take a different relativistic form – the Lagrangian density is a Lorentz scalar, whereas the Hamiltonian density is the T00 component of the energy-momentum tensor. It is proved that inconsistencies in the electroweak theory stem from negligence of the latter point.

Economic Order Quantity Model for Growing Items with Incremental Quantity Discounts, Capacitated Storage Facility, and Limited Budget
Authors: Hidayat Yosi Agustina , Riaventin Veterina Nosadila , Jayadi Okky
Published: August 2020

The development of the inventory model started when Harris introduced the classic inventory model. It was firstly published by Wilson using the optimization method. He derived a mathematical equation model to obtain economic order quantities. Later, this model is known as the classic Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) or Wilson Model. The classic inventory EOQ model has some limitations. The model assumed that order items do not have physical changes during a planning period. This assumption becomes the weakness of the classical EOQ inventory model. Many items have material changes during a planning period, such as amelioration, deterioration, and growth. This research proposed a new mathematical model. The model relaxes three implicit assumptions of the classical EOQ: (1) the ordered items do not grow; (2) unlimited capacity; and (3) unlimited budget. A solution procedure to solve the model was developed and illustrated with a numerical example. A numerical example was performed to compare the result between the reference model and the new model. The number of ordered items per cycle time increased by 7%, and cycle time increased by 28%. It increased because the proposed model tends to choose large purchased quantities to get a cheap price. It caused the number of ordered items per cycle time to be larger and the cycle time to be smaller than the reference model. This research also provided sensitivity analysis. It showed the response of decision variables to some changes in input parameters.

Published: August 2020

Although the government of Indonesia is building the cashless society, the number of e-wallet users are increasing slowly. E-wallet is becoming a common instru­ment of payments from the paper-based instruments to server-based electronic money. The aim of this research is to investigate the perceived usage of the Y Genera­tions on e-wallet based on Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) which is a power­ful model to describe single approval to the usage of a new information technology system. As a quantitative research, the data analysis is using the Partial Least Square (PLS) with the SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results show that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use brings impacts positive significant impacts to behavioural intention to use, then, the behavioural intention to use affect a positive significant impact to perceived usage. However, a direct effect from perceived useful­ness to perceived usage shows a negative and no significant impact, meanwhile an unintended effect from perceived usefulness to perceived usage through behavioural intention to use show a positive significant impact. Finally, a direct effect from perceived ease of use to perceived usage shows a lower t-statistic value than an indi­rect effect from perceived ease of use to perceived usage through behavioural inten­tion

Published: August 2020

Our dependency towards wood has reduced the number of forests especially in Indonesia. Hence, many people tried to use another material as a replacement of wood. One of them is composite. Department of Industrial Engineering Universitas Sebelas Maret has developed paper-based composite using newspaper waste in Praktikum Perancangan Teknik Industri (PPTI) II. Unfortunately, the quality of composite is not so good. This paper tried to understand the effect of factors to responses and discover the best combination of factors to obtain the best responses. The responses of this experiment are tensile strength, bending strength and impact value. The factors of this experiment are paper pulp, PVAc glue and water. Taguchi method is used to find the appropriate orthogonal array and Particle Swarm Optimization method to find the optimum combination of the factors. Orthogonal array used in this experiment is L9 (34).  Through analysis, all of the factors are significant to tensile and bending strength, but they are not significant to impact value. The best combination of factors is 175 grams paper pulp, 130 grams PVAc glue and 175 ml water. Optimum results obtained for tensile strength is 0.7595 N/mm2, bending strength is 4.873 N/mm2 and impact value is 0.0138 J/mm2.

Published: August 2020

Salah satu kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang sedang dikembangkan oleh Program Studi Teknik Mesin UNTAG Surabaya adalah redesain dari alat pencacah pakan pada peternakan sapi UD. Mujur, Desa Gayaman Kecamatan Mojoanyar, Kabupaten Mojokerto. Ada tiga permasalahan utama yang ditemukan. Permasalahan pertama adalah mesin pencacah tidak mampu mencacah bahan pakan secara maksimal karena desain alat pencacah yang kurang ergonomis. Sehingga solusinya adalah dengan meredesain alat pencacah, terutama pada komponen pisau pencacah pakan. Permasalahan kedua adalah terdapat beberapa komponen pada mesin yang rusak dan harus diganti, sehingga solusinya dengan mengganti komponen penyaring dan v-belt. Penyaring yang terdahulu terlalu kecil ukurannya sehingga hasil cacahan sulit keluar, membuat terperangkap di dalam mesin. V-belt yang terdahulu sudah terlalu kendor sehingga tidak bisa memutar mesin pencacah dengan maksimal. Permasalahan ketiga yaitu kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan pekerja tentang mesin pencacah pakan. Solusinya, diadakan diskusi dan penyuluhan untuk mengedukasi para pekerja tentang seluk beluk mesin pencacah pakan, mulai dari prinsip kerjanya hingga perawatan mesinnya. Secara umum, kegiatan berjalan dengan lancar, membuat produktivitas peternakan meningkat, terutama pada sektor penyediaan pakan dan manajemen pemberian pakan.One of the community service program that has been developed by department of mechanical engineering UNTAG Surabaya is the redesign of chopper machine for cattle fodder in the farm of UD. Mujur, Gayaman, Mojoanyar, Mojokerto. There were three problems found in the farm. The first one was the chopper machine cannot maximally chop the cattle fodder because of the design of the chopper component. Hence, the solution was to redesign the chopper component and the machine blade. The second problem was there were components that are damaged and should be replaced. The solution was to replace those components; filter and v-belt. The filter before had too small mesh so that the feed ingredient could not come out the machine. The new filter has the bigger mesh so that feed ingredient could come out the machine. The v-belt was replaced because the old one was too saggy so that the machine could not rotate clearly. The last problem was the workers’ knowledge and skills to operate the chopper machine was minimum. We created a group discussion and counseling to educate the workers about the chopper machine; the principle of work and the machine maintenance. Overall, the program succeed. It increased the productivity of the farm, especially in the cow feed and cattle fodder management.
CTRP12 inhibits triglyceride synthesis and export in hepatocytes by suppressing HNF‐4α and DGAT2 expression
Authors: Tan Stefanie Y. , Little Hannah C. , Sarver Dylan C. , Watkins Paul A. , Wong G. William
Published: August 2020

C1q/TNF‐related protein 12 (CTRP12) is an antidiabetic adipokine whose circulating levels are reduced in obesity and diabetes. Although partial and complete loss‐of‐function mouse models suggest a role for CTRP12 in modulating lipid metabolism and adiposity, its effect on cellular lipid metabolism remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate a direct action of CTRP12 in regulating lipid synthesis and secretion. In hepatoma cells and primary mouse hepatocytes, CTRP12 treatment inhibits triglyceride synthesis by suppressing glycerophosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) expression. CTRP12 treatment also downregulates the expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor‐4α (HNF‐4α) and its target gene microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP), leading to reduced very‐low‐density lipoprotein (VLDL)‐triglyceride export from hepatocytes. Consistent with the in vitro findings, overexpressing CTRP12 lowers fasting and postprandial serum triglyceride levels in mice. These results underscore the important function of CTRP12 in lipid metabolism in hepatocytes.

Participants were randomized to receive either eight sessions of ReACT or supportive therapy, and participants completed follow‐up visits at 7‐ and 60‐days posttreatment. The primary outcome measure was PNES frequency at 7‐days posttreatment. Eligibility criteria included children with video‐EEG confirmed PNES and participant/parent or guardian willingness to participate in treatment. Exclusion criteria included substance use, psychosis, and severe intellectual disability. Forty‐two patients were assessed for eligibility and 32 were randomized. ReACT aimed to retrain classically conditioned, involuntary PNES by targeting catastrophic symptom expectations and a low sense of control over symptoms using principles of habit reversal. Supportive therapy was based on the assumption that relief from stress or problems can be achieved by discussion with a therapist.

Results

Twenty‐nine participants (Mage = 15.1 years, SDage = 2.5; 72.2% female; 57.1% Caucasian, 28.6% African American) completed 7‐days postprocedures. For PNES frequency, the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test statistic was 273.5 yielding a normal approximation of Z = 4.725 (P < 0.0001), indicating a significant improvement in PNES frequency for ReACT at 7‐days posttreatment compared to supportive therapy. Participants with PNES in the 7‐days posttreatment were removed from the study for additional treatment, resulting in no 60‐day follow‐up data for supportive therapy.

Interpretation

ReACT resulted in significantly greater PNES reduction than supportive therapy, with 100% of patients experiencing no PNES in 7 days after ReACT. Additionally, 82% remained PNES‐free for 60 days after ReACT.

Authors: Eder Michaela , Schäffner Wolfgang , Burgert Ingo , Fratzl Peter
Published: August 2020

Wood is a prototypical biological material, which adapts to mechanical requirements. The microarchitecture of cellulose fibrils determines the mechanical properties of woody materials, as well as their actuation properties, based on absorption and desorption of water. Herein it is argued that cellulose fiber orientation corresponds to an analog code that determines the response of wood to humidity as an active material. Examples for the harvesting of wood activity, as well as bioinspiration, are given.

Published: August 2020

Nitrogen heterocycles are important structural subunits that occur widely in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, cosmetics, and functional materials. Considering the importance of these useful compounds in modern science, the synthesis of N‐heterocycles and their derivatives has always been a hot topic in organic synthesis. Recently, arenediazonium salts which can be easily prepared from inexpensive and abundantly available anilines, have been used as versatile nitrogen sources in the field of nitrogen heterocycle synthetic chemistry due to their ready availability, rich reactivity, and diverse transformations. The aim of the present review is to summarize the recent advances in the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles using arenediazonium salts as nitrogen sources in the past ten years. Hopefully, it can provide practical guidance for the readers who are interested in utilizing arenediazonium salts as building blocks in organic synthesis. For simplicity and clarity, the organization of this review is based on the number of N atoms in the ring of nitrogen heterocycle.

Canopy reflectance informs in‐season malting barley nitrogen management: An ex‐ante classification approach
Authors: Nelsen Taylor S. , Lundy Mark E.
Published: August 2020

Malting barley (Hordeum vulgare) requires precise nitrogen (N) fertilizer management to achieve a narrow range of grain protein content (∼9–10.5%) while maintaining yields, but practical tools to accomplish this are lacking. This study hypothesized that canopy reflectance (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)) measured at tillering (Feekes 2–3) and expressed as a sufficiency index (SI), can estimate the likelihood of a site‐specific response to in‐season N fertilizer in malting barley. Canopy reflectance was measured from plots at tillering with a GreenSeeker and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) borne multispectral cameras in trials across heterogeneous California agroecosystems. Field experiments included a range of N fertilizer application rates (0–168 kg N ha−1) and timings (pre‐plant, tillering, or evenly split), and resulted in a range of crop N sufficiency/deficiency. NDVI‐based SI measurements were categorized into one of three quantitative categories (low, medium, and high) without additional experimental context using Gaussian mixture modeling. Despite that 85% of variation in protein yield was due to site‐year, the reflectance‐based categories indicated whether N fertilizer applied in‐season would increase protein yield (p < .01). Nitrogen application at tillering increased yield and protein for plots in the “low” and “medium” SI categories (45 and 4% for yield and 16 and 12% for protein, respectively) (p < .05), while “high” SI plots had neither yield (p = .23) nor protein (p = .26) increases. Importantly, the broader agronomic conditions of a site primarily determined whether response to in‐season N manifested as increased yield or protein.
Cage occupancy and dissociation enthalpy of hydrocarbon hydrates

Published: August 2020

An elaborated statistical mechanical theory on clathrate hydrates is applied to exploration of their phase equilibria and dissociation enthalpies. The experimental dissociation pressures of methane, ethane, acetylene, and propane hydrates are well recovered by the method we have proposed. We estimate water/hydrate and hydrate/guest two‐phase coexisting conditions in the temperature, pressure, and composition space in addition to three‐phase equilibrium conditions. It is shown that the occupancy of guest molecules and the two‐phase boundaries in the phase diagram vary depending sensitively on its size. Enthalpy components arising from the host and guest interactions are separately calculated from the temperature dependence of the corresponding free energy values. This enables to evaluate the dissociation enthalpy at any stable and metastable thermodynamic state taking account of the phase transition in the coexisting phase such as melting of ice, notably that along the three‐phase equilibrium line.
Achieving Microstructure‐Controlled Synaptic Plasticity and Long‐Term Retention in Ion‐Gel‐Gated Organic Synaptic Transistors

Published: August 2020

Organic synaptic transistors using intrinsic (i.e., non‐doped) organic semiconductors have demonstrated various synaptic functions to mimic biological synapses, but the devices show limited long‐term retention behaviors although long‐term memory is essential for neuromorphic computing. To achieve long‐term retention time, correlating the synaptic responses with the microstructures of polymer semiconductor is an imperative step. It is shown that synaptic plasticity in ion‐gel‐gated organic synaptic transistors (IGOSTs) can be modulated by controlling the microstructure of organic semiconductors and that long‐term memory retention can be significantly prolonged by increasing their crystallinity. The crystallinity of poly(3‐hexylthiophene‐2,5‐diyl) (P3HT) films that are spun‐cast on bare and self‐assembled monolayer is systematically controlled, before and after thermal treatments. Long‐term retention tends to extend, as the crystallinity increases. To evaluate synaptic current decay behaviors, it is suggested that the relaxation is a result of de‐doping of the polymer semiconductor over time. The recognition of handwritten digits is simulated and a high classification accuracy (>92%) is achieved with IGOSTs including high crystalline P3HT film. The study provides fundamental information about the effects of polymer microstructure on synaptic plasticity of IGOSTs, which may be applicable in neuromorphic electronics.

Objective

Early discrimination of patients with ischemic stroke (IS) from stroke mimics (SMs) poses a diagnostic challenge. The circulating metabolome might reflect pathophysiological events related to acute IS. Here, we investigated the utility of early metabolic changes for differentiating IS from SM.

Methods

We performed untargeted metabolomics on serum samples obtained from patients with IS (N = 508) and SM (N = 349; defined by absence of a diffusion weighted imaging [DWI] positive lesion on magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) who presented to the hospital within 24 hours after symptom onset (median time from symptom onset to blood sampling = 3.3 hours; interquartile range [IQR] = 1.6–6.7 hours) and from neurologically normal controls (NCs; N = 112). We compared diagnostic groups in a discovery‐validation approach by applying multivariable linear regression models, machine learning techniques, and propensity score matching. We further performed a targeted look‐up of published metabolite sets.

Results

Levels of 41 metabolites were significantly associated with IS compared to NCs. The top metabolites showing the highest value in separating IS from SMs were asymmetrical and symmetrical dimethylarginine, pregnenolone sulfate, and adenosine. Together, these 4 metabolites differentiated patients with IS from SMs with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90 in the replication sample, which was superior to multimodal cranial computed tomography (CT; AUC = 0.80) obtained for routine diagnostics. They were further superior to previously published metabolite sets detected in our samples. All 4 metabolites returned to control levels by day 90.

Interpretation

A set of 4 metabolites with known biological effects relevant to stroke pathophysiology shows unprecedented utility to identify patients with IS upon hospital arrival, thus encouraging further investigation, including multicenter studies. ANN NEUROL 2020;88:736–746
Acute kidney injury after a stroke: A PRISMA‐compliant meta‐analysis
Authors: Huang Yong , Wan Chanjun , Wu Guoqing
Published: August 2020

Background

The relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and stroke needs quantitative summary. Therefore, we analyzed the associations between AKI and stroke including the incidence, risk factors of AKI after stroke, and the influence of AKI after a stroke on prognosis of stroke.

Methods

Articles published until November 2019 were searched based on the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Medline, and Google Scholar. We computed the following results [rates of AKI incidence after a stroke, odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) estimates and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between risk factors and AKI, ORs or RRs and the CIs for the association between AKI and outcomes after a stroke] by using STATA 13.0 software.

Results

The study reported an overall incidence of AKI of 12% with a random‐effects model. Additionally, the present study showed that higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission and history of hypertension were associated with higher risk of AKI after stroke. Moreover, the study showed that AKI after stroke was associated with higher in‐hospital mortality, higher 1‐month mortality, higher long‐term mortality, and poorer functional outcome.

Conclusions

Acute kidney injury appears to be a common complication after stroke and is related to increased mortality and disability in stroke. Additionally, high NIHSS score on admission and history of hypertension were the critical risk factors for the AKI after stroke. More large‐scale studies should be made to explore AKI after stroke.
