A collective challenge: Open Science from the perspective of Science Europe
Authors: Timmermann Marie
Published: August 2019

Open Science aims to enhance the quality of research by making research and its outputs openly available, reproducible and accessible. Science Europe, the association of major Research Funding Organisations and Research Performing Organisations, advocates data sharing as one of the core aspects of Open Science and promotes a more harmonised approach to data sharing policies. Good research data management is a prerequisite for Open Science and data management policies should be aligned as much as possible, while taking into account discipline-specific differences. Research data management is a broad and complex field with many actors involved. It needs collective efforts by all actors to work towards aligned policies that foster Open Science.

Published: August 2019

Introduction: Drug toxicity and polypharmacy are major risk factors for delirium, especially in older adult patients with underlying comorbidities. However, numerous case reports have described drugs with a lower suspicion of being deliriogenic. The objective of this study was to identify deliriogenic drugs in the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) to broaden the public knowledge and understanding.
Study Design: Retrospective pharmacovigilance evaluation.
Methods: FAERS reports from 2004 through 2015 were reviewed for delirium-associated terms, which were utilized to identify drugs most frequently reported to cause delirium. Drugs were categorized as: 1) known to be deliriogenic; 2) potentially deliriogenic; or 3) new potential to be deliriogenic. The 100 most frequently reported drugs were analyzed in reporting odds ratios (ROR).
Results: Of the known deliriogenic drugs (n=32), paroxetine (ROR 4.1, CI 4.0-4.3), olanzapine (ROR 3.3, CI 3.2-3.4), and clozapine (ROR 2.9, CI 2.8-3.0) were most reported. Of the potentially deliriogenic drugs (n=54), duloxetine (ROR 3.2, CI 3.1-3.3), varenicline (ROR 3.1, CI 3.0-3.2), and gabapentin (ROR 2.9, CI 2.7-3.0) were most reported. Three drugs were considered to have new potential to be deliriogenic: heparin (ROR 1.5, CI 1.4-1.6), metformin (ROR 1.3, CI 1.3-1.4), and dalfampridine (ROR 1.1, CI 1.1-1.2).
Conclusion: The majority of drugs were considered potentially deliriogenic. FAERS can provide post-marketing surveillance data to guide future studies on potentially deliriogenic drugs to guide management of causal agents.

Published: August 2019

This study aims to identify the impact of social media use on user's prosocial behavior. In today's development of technology, there is no doubt that internet needs are increasingly dominant in everyday life, both in socialization, education, business and others. Social media has a huge impact on one's life. For society, especially among adolescents, social media has become a necessity that makes it a consumer no day without opening social media. Does the use of social media affect the prosocial behavior of a user? Prosocial behavior refers to behavior that can benefit other people around it. Prosocial behavior is often regarded as the foundation of human relationships and has a positive value. The research used was a survey. The questionnaire used has 3 parts. Part A is demographic, part B is a social media usage pattern. While part C is prosocial behavior. The results showed that alpha chroma values â€‹â€‹were high at 0.915. The sample involved 350 active social media users. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21 for descriptive and inferential data analysis. Descriptive statistics of frequency and mean used for distribution analysis. While inferential statistics, the T-test analysis is used to examine the differences in social and prosocial behavior among the sexes. The findings show that the use of social media does not affect the prosocial behavior of social media user in Malaysia.
Laser Controlled Cavitation Deformation in Red Blood Cells
Authors: Ahmed Tahira , Jamil Yasir
Published: August 2019

In this research work, we studied ÂµTAS (Âµ total analysis system) method to measure the deformability of red blood cells .We took  the sample of RBCs(red blood cells) in a micro fluidic based chamber, then  allowed  low intensity laser of infra red region, mostly at wavelength 1064 nm, to fall on the sample. This generated a cavitation bubble in the fluid because of evaporation mechanism involved. We tightly hold the slides containing blood sample so that the displacement of RBCs (red blood cells) stay confined in the viewing area of the microscope. Firstly the deformation due to expansion of cavitation bubble was sighted and then came the restoring of shape of RBCs (red blood cells) which was possible due to a focused and pulsed laser. The RBCs restored their shape after some time and was viewed with the help of a video recorded by a high- speed camera. In this way the plastic character and elastic properties of RBCs (red blood cells) was measured.

Quand le réanimateur devient prophète, la décision part en biais
Authors: Penven G. , de Saint Blanquat L. , Bordet F. , Dray S. , Série M. ,   Commission d’éthique de la Société de réanimation de langue française
Published: August 2019

Une prophétie autoréalisatrice (PAR) [self-fulfilling prophecy] désigne le fait que la croyance en une situation entraîne sa réalisation, renforçant alors la croyance initiale. D’abord décrite en sociologie, la notion de PAR a également une pertinence en médecine, car la pratique clinique se fonde en grande partie sur le pronostic des patients et de leurs maladies. Ainsi, la croyance en un pronostic péjoratif peut être à l’origine d’une prise en charge médicale qui aboutira à une évolution défavorable ou ne l’empêchera pas. Ce risque est particulièrement aigu en médecine intensive-réanimation où les pratiques de limitation ou d’arrêt des thérapeutiques (LAT) conduisent fréquemment au décès du patient. Il est d’autant plus prégnant que les grandes séries de données à partir desquelles le pronostic d’un patient est évalué incluent des malades ayant fait l’objet de décisions de LAT. Cela peut aboutir à un raisonnement circulaire, difficile à interrompre. Les patients de neuroréanimation, victimes d’accidents vasculaires cérébraux, d’encéphalopathies anoxo-ischémiques postarrêt cardiaque, ou de traumatismes crâniens, sont particulièrement sujets au risque de PAR, car la perspective de séquelles neurologiques sévères motive souvent une décision de LAT. Prendre le contre-pied des PAR nécessite de trouver un compromis entre le temps d’observation indispensable pour établir un pronostic le plus précis possible et la prolongation de traitements invasifs qui s’avérerait a posteriori inutile chez des patients sans espoir d’amélioration neurologique.
Investigating the Effect of Air Cavities of Sinuses on the Radiotherapy Dose Distribution Using Monte Carlo Method
Authors: Seif F , Bayatiani M R , Hamidi S , Kargaran M
Published: August 2019

Background: Considering that some vital organs exist in the head and neck region, the treatment of tumors in this area is a crucial task. The existence of air cavities, namely sinuses, disrupt the radiotherapy dose distribution. The study aims to analyze the effect of maxillary, frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses on radiotherapy dose distribution by Monte Carlo method.Materials and Methods: In order to analyze the effect of the cavities on dose distribution, the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid sinus cavities were simulated with (3×3.2×2) cm3, (2×2×3.2) cm3, (1×1×1.2) cm3 and(1×1×2) cm3 dimensions.Results: In the analysis of the dose distribution caused by cavities, some parameters were observed, including: inhomogeneity of dose distribution in the cavities, inhomogeneity of dose on the edges of the air cavities and dispersion of the radiations after the air cavity. The amount of the dose in various situations showed differences: before the cavity a 0.64% and a 2.76% decrease, a 12.06% and a 17.17% decrease in the air zone, and a 2.25% and a 5.9% increase after the cavity.Conclusion: The results indicate that a drop in dose before the air cavities and in the air zone occurs due to the lack of scattered radiation. Furthermore, the rise in dose was due to the passage of more radiation from the air cavity and dose deposition after the air cavity. The changes in dose distribution are dependent on the cavity size and depth. As a result, this has to be noted in the treatment planning and MU calculations of the patient.
Proximal fusion constructs in minimally invasive scoliosis surgery are successful without interbody or intertransverse fusion
Authors: Burks S. Shelby , Uribe Juan S. , Kolcun John Paul G. , Fortunel Adisson , Godzik Jakub , Bach Konrad , Wang Michael Y.
Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVE

Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly used in adult deformity surgery as surgeon familiarity improves and long-term data are published. Concerns raised in such cases include pseudarthrosis at levels where interbody grafts are not utilized. Few previous studies have specifically examined the thoracolumbar component of long surgical constructs, which is commonly instrumented without interbody or intertransverse fusion.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients who underwent hybrid minimally invasive deformity corrections in two academic spine centers over a 9-year period. Inclusion criteria were at least 2 rostral levels instrumented percutaneously, ranging from T8 to L1 as the upper end of the construct. Fusion assessment was made using CT when possible or radiography. Common radiographic parameters and clinical variables were assessed pre- and postoperatively.

RESULTS

A total of 36 patients fit the inclusion criteria. Baseline characteristics included a 1:1.8 male/female ratio, average age of 65.7 years, and BMI of 30.2 kg/m2. Follow-up imaging was obtained at a mean of 35.7 months. The average number of levels fused was 7.5, with an average of 3.4 instrumented percutaneously between T8 and L1, representing a total of 120 rostral levels instrumented percutaneously. Fusion assessment was performed using CT in 69 levels and radiography in 51 levels. Among the 120 rostral levels instrumented percutaneously, robust fusion was noted in 25 (20.8%), with 53 (44.2%) exhibiting some evidence of fusion. Pseudarthrosis was noted in 2 rostral segments (1.7%). There were no instances of proximal hardware revision. Eight patients exhibited radiographic proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK; 22.2%), none of whom underwent surgical intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

In the present series of adult patients with scoliosis undergoing thoracolumbar deformity correction, rostral segments instrumented percutaneously have a very low rate of pseudarthrosis, with radiographic evidence of bone fusion occurring in more than 60% of patients. The rate of PJK was acceptable and similar to other published series.
The features of fault tectonics and deep structure of the seismoactive zones in Eastern Priamurye
Authors: Merkulova T. V.
Published: August 2019

The paper examines the spatial relationship between the seismoactive zones in eastern Priamurye (М ≥ 5) and the regional faults and hidden fault zones identified from the gravity and magnetic anomaly axes. The seismoactive zones where earthquakes with М ≥ 5 occurred are mostly confined to the regional faults, though such a relationship has not been validated in two cases. The seismoactive zones are detected both at the regional fault intersection and in areas where the regional faults intersect with the hidden faults of various ranks. According to the data obtained by deep seismic sounding (DSS), earthquake converted wave method (ECWM) and magnetotelluric sounding (MTS), the seismoactive zones are formed by deep inclined and subvertical faults. The indications of fluid saturation are found in the seismoactive zones from geophysical data which show that the seismoactive faults often control low-velocity and low-resistivity anomalies in the crust and upper mantle. In some cases, the Moho displacement and the dome-like flexures of the crustal and Moho boundaries are observed along these seismoactive faults and the abundance of the conversion boundaries in the crust is also noted. The deep pattern of the seismoactive faults and the revealed indications of fluid saturation allow us to consider the seismoactive zones in eastern Priamurye as the channels providing fluid supply from the mantle to the crust.

Authors: Çankaya Tamer , Karli Ümid , Buğdayci Güler
Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to examine muscle damage and EMG responses during recovery period following exhaustive concentric and eccentric contractions.

METHODS:

Fifteen football players participated in this study. In order to evaluate the recovery period after the muscle damage exercise protocol, the expected damage was provoked by concentric and eccentric contractions. The EMG data obtained from Rectus Femoris muscle and levels of CK, LDH, and Myoglobin analysed from plasma were recorded before, immediately after and post 24[Formula: see text], 48[Formula: see text], 72[Formula: see text], 168[Formula: see text] hours of the exercise.

RESULTS:

Save a significant change in the maximum EMG value of Rectus Femoris muscle, no difference was found among other variables ([Formula: see text] 0.05). While there was no difference ([Formula: see text] 0.05) between the base values (PER) accepted as reference of CK, LDH, Myoglobin and levels at other hours after exercise, there was also no difference ([Formula: see text] 0.05) among values of CK, LDH, Myoglobin between eccentric and concentric contractions.

CONCLUSIONS:

As a result, various EMG measures and muscle damage responses were recorded during the recovery period after intensive resistance exercises. However the responses during recovery period did not differ by the contraction type.
Peripheral Blood Biomarkers Coupled with the Apolipoprotein E4 Genotype Are Strongly Associated with Semantic and Episodic Memory Impairments in Elderly Subjects with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease

Published: August 2019

Background:

The Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) genotype is strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), although the presence of the ApoE4 allele alone is not sufficient to explain AD. The pathophysiology of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) remains unclear.

Objective:

This study aims to examine associations between peripheral blood biomarkers coupled with ApoE4 and episodic and semantic memory.

Methods:

The CERAD battery was completed and various biomarkers were assayed in 60 subjects with aMCI, 60 with AD, and 62 healthy controls.

Results:

Deficits in semantic and episodic memory were significantly predicted by anion gap and bicarbonate, albumin, and glucose coupled with ApoE4. Furthermore, these peripheral biomarkers interacted with ApoE to predict greater memory impairments.

Conclusions:

Peripheral blood biomarkers may interact with pathways related to ApoE4 to predict greater semantic and episodic memory impairments, thus contributing to the pathophysiology of aMCI and AD. Our data suggest that the transition from aMCI to AD could at least in some cases be associated with significant interactions between ApoE4 and those peripheral blood biomarkers.
Why do sexes differ in lifespan extension? Sex-specific pathways of aging and underlying mechanisms for dimorphic responses
Authors: Garratt Michael
Published: August 2019

Males and females typically have different lifespans and frequently differ in their responses to anti-aging interventions. These sex-specific responses are documented in mice and Drosophila species, in addition to other organisms where interventions have been tested. While the prevalence of sex-specific responses to anti-aging interventions is now recognised, the underlying causes remain poorly understood. This review first summarises the main pathways and interventions that lead to sex-specific lifespan responses, including the growth-hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 (GH-IGF1) axis, mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling, and nutritional and pharmacological interventions. After summarising current evidence, several different potential causes for sex-specific responses are discussed. These include sex-differences in xenobiotic metabolism, differing disease susceptibility, sex-specific hormone production and chromosomes, and the relative importance of different signalling pathways in the control of male and female life-history. Understanding why sex-differences in lifespan-extension occur should provide a greater understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the aging process in each sex, and will be crucial for understanding the full implications of these treatments if they are translated to humans.
Website user content navigation behavior modeling using time series neural networks
Authors: Rezaee Esmaeel , Hashemi Golpayegani S. Alireza
Published: August 2019

User navigation behavior modeling has attracted much research interest on the web. User Navigation Behavior modeling deals with creating a model to predict future user click based on previous user clicks. Previous works focus on predicting the next page without much attention to the user-selected content. In contrast to existing works, this paper focuses on the user selected contents and the page content layout for creating the user navigation behavior. In this paper, for the first time in the literature, a novel model for user navigation prediction has been proposed using the time series neural network. The performance of the proposed prediction model was examined by two variations of time series neural networks including nonlinear autoregressive (NAR) and nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input (NARX). Providing external information for the NARX, page content layout is used. The experimental results show that the NAR and NARX neural networks are more efficient than other methods for click prediction, and using the page content layout in the NARX improves the accuracy of predictions.
