Outcome of Ipsilateral Ulnar Artery Cannulation in Failed Ipsilateral Radial Cannulation
Authors: Wahab  , Hussnain Yousaf
Published: December 2024

Objectives: This report aimed to assess the success rate of utilizing an ipsilateral ulnar artery where attempted or when added in conjunction with the attempted or used radial artery approach. Materials and Methods: An exploratory quantitative methodology is being followed in a prospective, observational study design of six months conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. A convenient sample of 50 patients with failed radial artery cannulation was used. Ulnar artery cannulation was performed using ultrasound. Patients who required arterial access were adults and were excluded if they had known ulnar artery disease. The procedural success, the incidence of procedural-related complications, and the time to return to daily activities were measured. Results: The ipsilateral ulnar artery cannulation rate was 94%, with very few complications, including hematoma (4%) and arterial spasm (2%). Dissections of the nerves and arterial thrombosis were not observed. Most patients had a brief hospital stay and were discharged within 24 to 48 hours. Outcome assessment at 30 days postoperative did not reveal any serious complications lasting several months postoperatively. Conclusion: Ipsilateral ulnar artery cannulation is a safe and efficient approach as radial entry, with high success rates, low complication rates, and quick postprocedural recovery.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To assess pain level in pediatric patients presented with dental pain at the emergency department of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi. Study design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration: The study was conducted in a Pediatric Emergency Department at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi, for 6 months from March 2024 to September 2024. Methodology: Total 230 hospitalized children over 6 months were assessed the pain levels of these children on admission and 8 hours after admission. Analgesic treatment was given to children and pain was assessed according to Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, such as means and standard deviations, were used to summarize the quantitative variables. Results: Paracetamol was the most given analgesic to the patients as 41.7%, whereas brufen and intravenous analgesics were given as 30.0% and 10.0%, respectively. There were 19.6% patients who had no pain at admission, 19.6% had mild pain, 37.8% had moderate pain and 23.0% had severe pain. Whereas, 110 (47.8%) patients had no pain after analgesics, 35.2% had mild pain, 13.5% and 3.5% had severe pain. The association of severity of pain at admission and after analgesics was statistically significant, (p<0.001). Conclusion: Pain scales are indeed valuable tools for assessing and managing pain in children, as they provide a standardized and systematic way to measure and communicate pain levels. Pain relief and management are important aspects of patient care, as untreated or poorly managed pain can have detrimental effects on a patient's physical and emotional well-being.

Authors: Shahrukh Panezai  , Muhammad Shoaib  , Noor Ahmed Khoso  , Mahrukh Panezai  , Syed Muhammad Essa  , Sana Ullah Kakar
Published: December 2024

Background: HIV and AIDS continue to pose substantial global health challenges, particularly in resource-constrained settings like Pakistan. This study investigated the prevalence and types of neurological manifestations among HIV-AIDS patients treated at a tertiary care hospital in Quetta. Methodology: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 200 HIV-AIDS patients using questionnaires, medical records, and laboratory findings. Results: Neurological manifestations were observed in 70% of the patients, with peripheral neuropathy (40%) being the most common condition, followed by HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (30%), progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (10%), cryptococcal meningitis (7.5%), and cerebral toxoplasmosis (5%). Key risk factors included low CD4 counts (<200), advanced HIV stage (AIDS), and the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Findings: These findings underscore the critical need for early diagnosis and intervention in managing the neurological complications of HIV-AIDS. Peripheral neuropathy and cognitive disorders, in particular, highlight the importance of integrating neurological assessment into routine care for HIV patients. The results call for strengthened ART programs, improved access to healthcare resources, and a holistic approach to treatment. Conclusion: Effective management of HIV-AIDS requires a multidisciplinary strategy to address not only the viral infection but also its neurological and systemic complications. Enhancing healthcare infrastructure and awareness is essential to improve outcomes for patients with HIV-AIDS and to reduce the burden of neurological disorders associated with the disease.
Impact of Diet and Exercise Interventions on Glycemic Control and Weight Management in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials and Observational Studies
Authors: Muhammad Muaaz Sikandar  , Namra Tanvir  , Ali Qadir  , Abdussalam  , Iqra Shehzadi  , Ghulam Abbas
Published: December 2024

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin production, leading to high blood glucose levels. It is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90%-95% of all cases globally. With an increasing prevalence of T2DM, effective management strategies are crucial to control glycemic levels and prevent associated complications. Diet and exercise are considered key interventions to improve glycemic control and manage weight in individuals with T2DM. Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effects of diet and exercise interventions on glycemic control and weight management in adults with Type 2 diabetes. The review focuses on the impact of various diet plans, including low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets, as well as different exercise regimens. Methodology: A comprehensive search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies was conducted to identify research on the effects of diet and exercise interventions in managing T2DM. Studies assessing glycemic control (e.g., HbA1c levels) and weight loss outcomes were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of these interventions. Results: The review found that both diet and exercise interventions led to significant improvements in glycemic control and weight management. Low-carbohydrate diets and Mediterranean diets, in particular, demonstrated positive effects on blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity. Regular physical activity, especially aerobic and resistance exercises, also contributed to improved glycemic control and weight reduction. Conclusion: Diet and exercise interventions are effective strategies for managing Type 2 diabetes, improving both glycemic control and weight management. Incorporating tailored diet plans and exercise regimens into clinical practice may significantly benefit individuals with T2DM. Further studies are needed to refine intervention protocols and address barriers to patient adherence.

Em conclusão, a análise revela que a ASMARE mantém sua arrecadação estável devido ao seu apoio estrutural e logístico, enquanto a UNICICLA, com menos recursos, enfrenta grandes desafios que podem ser superados com investimentos em infraestrutura e políticas públicas mais inclusivas.
Experimental investigation of structural behavior of reinforced concrete frames exposed to corrosion under cyclic loading
Authors:   , Turan Ahmet İhsan
Published: December 2024

Reinforcement bar corrosion occurs in reinforced concrete structures as a result of various environmental effects. Corrosion causes the structures to move away from the performance levels targeted during the design phase and reduces the service life of reinforced concrete structures. Within the scope of the thesis study carried out to investigate the effects of reinforcement corrosion on reinforced concrete frames, 5 reinforced concrete frame specimens were constructed. The corrosion process of reinforced concrete frames was carried out using accelerated corrosion method. The actual corrosion ratio were obtained by gravimetric study after chemical and mechanical cleaning of the reinforcement extracting from the concrete after the loading tests. When the studies carried out on corroded specimens are analyzed, it is seen that researchers consider different corrosion ratio (stirrup corrosion ratio, longitudinal reinforcement corrosion ratio, maximum corrosion ratio, average corrosion ratio, etc.). This situation causes contradictory results in the verification of the models obtained by using corroded specimens. In this context, a total of 13 different corrosion ratio were obtained by considering corrosion ratio on reinforcement (combination of stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement) and specimen basis (combination of column and beam elements). The yield strength, ductility ratio, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity values of the specimens were estimated by considering the experimental models developed from the column and frame studies in the literature. From the results of the experimental study, it was determined that the yield strength, stiffness values and energy absorption capacities of reinforced concrete frame specimens decreased with increasing corrosion rate. In the present study, it was revealed that there are contradictions between the ductility ratios obtained by considering energy-based and actual corrosion ratio and the data obtained by considering displacement-based and theoretical corrosion ratio in the literature.
“Dig Your Heels in the Ground and Get What You Deserve.” - An Exploratory Corpus-Assisted Study of Women Entrepreneurs’ Blogs.
Authors: Fronczak Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

Throughout history, entrepreneurial contributions of women have been largely disregarded and undervalued in the business sector. However, recent decades have witnessed increased visibility of women entrepreneurs striving to challenge gender-based inequities and systemic biases in the workplace. Those who have achieved success are increasingly willing to share their experiences and insights, providing guidance to aspiring women seeking to establish, develop, or advance their enterprises and careers. One notable channel to convey their messages is through women entrepreneurs’ blogs. This paper explores how female entrepreneurs perceive themselves as businesswomen and examines how they construct the position of women in the current business realm. Using a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis approach, a detailed examination of concordances related to selected keywords and key expressions associated with the perception of women entrepreneurs, along with business and societal challenges, unveils typical collocations and contextual usage. The analysis is based on the Women Entrepreneurs’ Blog Corpus, a dataset comprising 329,896 words from 318 unique blog entries in English published between 2019 and 2023. The findings reveal that blogs serve as empowering platforms where women challenge traditional narratives, reshape perceptions of entrepreneurship, and redefine their roles in the business world. The usage of frequently occurring keywords such as female, women, and mompreneur(s), emphasises themes of resilience, motivation, and identity alongside issues like inferiority, lack of confidence, and systemic disadvantages, particularly for women of color. Moreover, keywords like imposter syndrome, self-doubt, glass ceiling, and male-dominated often appear in contexts that underscore overcoming obstacles and the benefits of female entrepreneurship.

Energiråstoffer - geologi og resourcer
Authors: Sørensen Henning
Published: December 2024

I denne lille bog er samlet fem artikler om energiproblemer set i geologisk perspektiv. Artiklerne stammer fra Varv nr. l -4, 1974 og nr. l1975.For at billiggøre udgivelsen er der, bortset fra enkelte sider, tale om direkte genoptryk - det vil sige med benyttelse af den oprindelige sideangivelse. Enkelte tilføjelser og rettelser findes på side III.Hovedvægten i artiklerne er som nævnt lagt p6 de geologiske perspektiver. Ikke-geologiske energikilder, som for eksempel vindkraft, er derfor ikke diskuteret og energipolitik og energiøkonomi er ikke behandlet. De vigtigste af de energikilder vi nu udnytter er imidlertid geologiske dannelser og bogen kan derfor forh6bentlig finde anvendelse inden for undervisning og oplysningsarbejde som kilde til oplysninger om for eksempel olieforekomster, urans geologi og geotermal energi.

Cet article montre comment Patrick Bouchain, dans différentes interventions, met stratégiquement en échec le jeu d’acteurs (souvent réduit au tandem décideur politique et maître d’oeuvre) constitutif du processus de projet en architecture et urbanisme afin de favoriser la construction collective des espaces de vie. Deux pratiques au coeur de sa démarche retiennent particulièrement notre attention : les chantiers habités et les permanences architecturales.
De la remédiatisation à la parodie de genre. Stratégies de la malfaçon dans Top Télé Maximum de Pierre La Police
Authors: Belloï Livio , Leroy Fabrice
Published: December 2024

Cet article explore les dispositifs récurrents par lesquels le dessinateur français Pierre La Police, dans Top Télé Maximum, parodie un genre médiatique (la presse de télévision) sur le mode d’une malfaçon délibérée et systématique appliquée à ses principales composantes discursives et iconiques. Virtuose dans son apparente incompétence, cette remédiatisation tend néanmoins à révéler le fonctionnement et à éprouver les limites du média qu’elle prend pour cible.
Fonctions de l’échec dans le streaming de jeu vidéo. Adversité ludique, esthétique du glitch et art de la mise en scène chez HortyUnderscore

Published: December 2024

Cet article s’interroge sur les fonctions de l’erreur et de l’échec comme supports d’une mise en spectacle du jeu vidéo dans le contexte du streaming vidéoludique sur Twitch.tv. En partant d’une étude de cas (les performances de la streameuse HortyUnderscore), nous détaillons la manière dont le streaming accueille, prépare et valorise différentes formes de ratages (ludiques ou communicationnels; prévus ou involontaires; ponctuels ou réguliers) au point d’en faire un socle de son esthétique.
Esthétique du brouillon et des compositions déjetées. L’élégance-crasse de Cy Twombly par Roland Barthes
Authors: Hagelstein Maud
Published: December 2024

Cy Twombly a mis en oeuvre une esthétique du brouillon éblouissante, réalisant des dessins hors genre qui supposaient d’abandonner les conventions, de libérer l’usage des couleurs et de se débarrasser des couches d’habitudes durcies par l’apprentissage, pour retrouver une énergie du gribouillage proche de (mais non réductible à) celle des enfants. Revenant sur la lecture qu’en propose Roland Barthes, on pense ici le caractère brouillon de ces oeuvres comme production aboutie, assumant absolument la rature ou l’hésitation.
Une CUA améliorée pour chaque personne apprenante
Authors: Martin Jean Emmanuel , Marineau Marie-Noëlle
Published: December 2024

Les enjeux en éducation ont toujours été multiples et complexes, demandant un effort constant afin d’assurer le soutien de toutes les personnes apprenantes sur les chemins de leur réussite individuelle et collective. Il semble désormais faire consensus au sein des institutions d’éducation, ainsi que de la part du gouvernement que le but des établissements scolaires et d’enseignement supérieur est de soutenir la réussite des personnes apprenantes, voire la réussite éducative de celles-ci. Cela dit, on observe aussi généralement que le contexte de réalisation de ce but est considéré comme apportant son lot de défis comme la diversité des personnes apprenantes, le financement des institutions, la transition numérique, les situations socio-économiques instables, l’écoanxiété, etc. Concrètement, on remarque un enjeu particulier qui est perçu au niveau du déploiement efficient des ressources (humaines, matérielles et financières) nécessaires aux besoins de la grande diversité, forcément hétérogène, de personnes apprenantes, ainsi que la charge accrue qui incombe aux personnes enseignantes, professionnelles et de soutien.
Croyances des enseignants l’égard du potentiel des élèves
Authors: Beaulieu Judith , Ruberto Noémia
Published: December 2024

La réussite éducative des élèves serait reliée aux croyances des enseignantes sur leur potentiel de développement des compétences (Duhaime, 2020). Les croyances influenceraient les attentes des enseignantes. Des travaux menés ailleurs dans le monde montrent qu’auprès des élèves ayant une DI et/ou un TSA, les croyances seraient erronées poussant les enseignantes à revoir à la baisse leurs attentes (p.ex. Sermier-Dessemontet, 2019). Le présent article vise à décrire les croyances/attentes à l’égard de l’apprentissage de la lecture/écriture par des élèves ayant une DI et/ou un TSA. Il s’agit d’une recherche exploratoire/descriptive menée au moyen d’un questionnaire auprès de 57 enseignants.
La différenciation de l’enseignement en mathématique
Authors: Rajotte Thomas , Dufour Raphaëlle , Dupuis Brouillette Marilyn
Published: December 2024

L’éducation inclusive est de plus en plus présente dans les milieux scolaires même si elle ne fait pas l’objet de prescriptions ministérielles explicites. Le CSÉ (2017) en fait la recommandation et force est de constater que l’opérationnalisation de l’éducation inclusive varie d’un milieu scolaire à un autre selon les réalités. Cet article apporte deux pistes de différenciation dont les exemples prennent racine dans l’enseignement des mathématiques. D’une part, l’utilisation de questions ouvertes constitue une pratique de différenciation accessible pour le personnel enseignant qui modifie grandement l’environnement d’apprentissage des élèves. D’autre part, la disponibilité des tâches parallèles s’avère également une pratique différenciée accessible qui peut répondre à des besoins d’élèves ayant des caractéristiques différentes.
Expérimentation d’une oeuvre de réalité virtuelle pour se familiariser à l’enseignement auprès d’élèves autistes

Published: December 2024

L’insertion professionnelle en enseignement présente plusieurs défis, notamment en ce qui concerne l’enseignement à une diversité d’élèves, dont ceux présentant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme. Pour favoriser l’inclusion, deux mères d’enfants autistes ont créé Les pieds en haut : Lou, une oeuvre de réalité virtuelle offrant deux expériences immersives. Celles-ci permettent d’incarner momentanément une personne autiste. Elles visent la sensibilisation aux comportements et perceptions des personnes autistes. Cette présente étude a pour but d’identifier les retombées de cette expérience virtuelle comme outil de formation auprès d’étudiantes et d’étudiants en enseignement.
Lanzarote como figura Crística: Misticismo y sacrificio en El caballero de la carreta de Chrétien de Troyes
Authors: Roca Ticó Xavier
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se analiza cómo Chrétien de Troyes retrata a Lanzarote como una figuracrística en El caballero de la carreta. La autonegación de Lanzarote al subir a la carreta, la antítesisentre la tierra de Logres y la Tierra de Gorre, su encuentro con la lanza de Longinos, el misteriode la losa de mármol que solo él puede mover y su paso por el puente de la espada, durante el cualaparecen estigmas en su cuerpo, son elementos que consolidan su imagen como un redentor. Estosaspectos simbolizan su sacrificio y misión redentora, destacando la habilidad de Chrétien de Troyespara entrelazar religión y literatura en una narrativa profundamente espiritual y simbólica.

Estudi i edició crítica del Sermó de la Immaculada Concepció, de Felip de Malla
Authors: Mompó Jacob
Published: December 2024

ovint s’ha destacat la dificultat d’accedir a la literatura de Felip de Malla per la densitatde la seua prosa i la manca d’edicions modernes.

Un nuevo catálogo de pliegos sueltos de la imprenta de Agustín Laborda y Campo
Authors: Gomis Coloma Juan
Published: December 2024

Este artículo da a conocer el hallazgo de un catálogo de surtido publicado por el impresor Agustín Laborda y Campo hacia el final de su vida. Teníamos noticia de su existencia, pero no se había localizado hasta ahora. De ahí el valor de la Memoria de los romances, relaciones, historias, entremeses, estampas iluminadas, libros y otras menudencias que se presenta en este artículo: además de la reproducción digital del impreso, se analiza su contenido poniéndolo en relación con la trayectoria profesional de Agustín Laborda y especialmente con un catálogo anterior salido de su taller, que dio a conocer Jaime Moll en 1981. Si la conservación de un catálogo de menudencias es de por sí una rareza, contar con dos publicados por el mismo impresor es un hecho extraordinario y constituye una oportunidad para estudiar la evolución de las estrategias editoriales de los tipógrafos especializados en la literatura de cordel.Palabras clave: catálogo, imprenta, libro, literatura de cordel, romance, impresor

Intuitionistic fuzzy temporal operators and temporal topological structures
Authors: Atanassov Krassimir
Published: December 2024

A new, general approach to introducing the concept of a Temporal Topological Structure (TTS) is given. The basic properties of the TTS are studied. The TTSs are illustrated by intuitionistic fuzzy objects – temporal intuitionistic fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy operations (standard and temporal ones), intuitionistic fuzzy relations and intuitionistic fuzzy operators (topological and temporal ones). In total, four different intuitionistic fuzzy TTSs and twelve intuitionistic fuzzy feeble TTSs are described in this paper.
Outflows from tungsten conical wire arrays. Characterization and applications
Authors:   , Muñoz-Cordovez Gonzalo
Published: December 2024

A tungsten conical wire array is used as load in the Llampudken pulsed power
generator(∼400 kA in ∼350 ns) to study the outflows produced by it. At pressures
of 10 −4 Torrthe dynamics of the wire array is probe by UV/XUV imaging and laser
schlieren andinterferometry. These diagnostics show the expulsion of a dense
plasma jet (n e = 3 × 10 24m −3 ) of a couple of centimeters in the axial
direction above the anode. This plasma jet havevelocities between 10 4 − 10 5
m/s and its dimensionless parameters are computed in orderto compare the
experimentally produced plasma jet with the astronomically producedones. At
pressures that varies from 10 −5 Torr to 10 −2 Torr the upwards axial emission
ofcharged particles is study using negatively biased Faraday cups. At 10 −5 Torr
only ionsare detected by the cups but from 10 −4 Torr to 10 −2 Torr the
detection of both electronsand ions moving together in the same direction is
observed due to the ionization of thebackground gas. Velocity computed for the
electrons and ions is in the order of 10 6 m/simplying MeV ions. Finally, the
interaction of these outflows with stationary targets isstudy by placing silicon
targets at different heights above the conical wire array. Resultsshow that
visible damage over the target was observed from 10 cm to 21 cm above thearray
where two main damages are appreciated. For targets located closer to the
arraymainly micro-pores are observed but for targets located farther from the
array stripes-likeformations are appreciated. These damages indicate that the
silicon target boiled and wasfastly heated by the conical wire array outflows.
Detail measurements of these outflowsand the damages produced on the silicon
targets are shown an discussed in this thesis.

The fruit,Tetrapleura tetraptera belongs to the Mimosaceae family and is widely used in traditional remedies for the treatment of diseases and a popular seasoning spice in southern and Eastern Nigeria. The present study investigated the proximate analysis, phytochemical composition and antioxidant studies of ethanol extract of Tetrapleura  tetraptera fruit consumed in Port-Harcourt city, Rivers State. The proximate and phytochemical compositions, including the antioxidant studies of ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit were determined using standard methods. Proximate composition and calorific value of whole sample of Tetrapleura  tetraptera fruit revealed that the (%) composition of moisture, ash, lipid, fibre, protein, carbohydrate and caloric value are 17.07, 17.17, 10.10, 5.26, 15.77, 34.62 and 1222.28kj/100g respectively. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit showed that they contain relative amount of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, glycosides, alkaloids, amino acids, steroids and coumarins. Glycosides, alkaloids and phenolics were detected in very small concentration in the extract, flavonoids, coumarins, amino acids were found in moderate amounts while saponins, tannins, steroids and terpenoids were detected in very high amount in the extract. The in vitro antioxidant activities (TAC, FRAP and DPPH) of ethanol extract of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit shows that the plant possessed high scavenging potency towards free radicals. The results of In vitro antioxidant studies; FRAP, DPPH and TAC suggest that Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit protects against lipid peroxidation by donating the radical chain reaction. The results demonstrated the strong antioxidant activities, nutritional and pharmacology potencies of the Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit.

Studies were conducted to ascertain the population growth and oviposition preference of pulse bruchid, Callosobruchus chinensis on some pulses viz., Vigna radiata, Lens esculenta, Cicer arietinum, Cajanus cajan and Pisum sativum under conditions of restricted (no choice) and unrestricted (choice) access. Results revealed that under conditions of choice and no choice test, oviposition and adult emergence was highest on C. arietinum (6.84 nos). Lens esculenta recorded lowest egg deposition under conditions of no choice while no egg laying activity was observed under choice conditions. Developmental period was significantly shorter in V. radiata while it was longer in P. sativum in both choice (37days for male and 36.32 days for female) and no choice test (37.10 days for male and 36.46 days for female). In V. radiata, the adult longevity was shorter in both choice (7.48 days for male and 5.91 day for female) and no choice (7.68 days for male and 6.13 days for female) test and adults were significantly heavy than on C. arietinum, C. cajan and P. sativum in both choice and no choice test. Overall, V. radiata was found to be a superior host with shorter development period and healthier adults while C. arietinum was better in terms of oviposition preference and adult emergence. These insights offer valuable assistance for enhancing pulse cultivation practices in the region.
Bioinspired Double‐Dynamic‐Bond Crosslinked Bioadhesive Enables Post‐Wound Closure Care

Published: February 2020

Most existing bioadhesives, even those showing superiority in wound closure effectiveness, do not assist in the post‐wound closure process. A bioinspired, in situ formed, double‐dynamic‐bond crosslinked hydrogel bioadhesive that is capable of efficiently closing open wounds and enabling post‐wound closure care is reported. Catechol‐modified ε‐poly‐l‐lysine and oxidized dextran are employed as natural polymer backbones and they are in situ crosslinked using Schiff's base dynamic bond and catecholFe coordinate dynamic bond through a process inspired by that used to cure marine mussel glue, forming a hydrogel bioadhesive. The unique double‐dynamic‐bond crosslinked structure endows the bioadhesive with higher mechanical and adhesive strength while retaining quick dissociation and good self‐healing capacities. Accordingly, the bioadhesive can exhibit multiple desirable functions, such as dissolution on demand, repeatable adhesiveness, adhesive and mechanical strength sufficient for wound closure, injectability, and good biocompatibility (DREAMING). After efficiently closing skin incisions, the bioadhesive can be facilely removed or repeatedly close the reopened wounds, thus enabling post‐wound closure care. On the basis of favorable functions in wound closure and the ability to enable post‐wound closure care, the bioadhesive demonstrates great potential in dealing with skin wounds.

Objectives

We aimed to study adoption of transradial primary percutaneous coronary intervention (TR‐PPCI) for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (“radial first” approach) and its association with door‐to‐balloon time (D2BT).

Background

TR‐PPCI for STEMI is underutilized in the United States due to concerns about prolonging D2BT. Whether operators and hospitals adopting a radial first approach in STEMI incur prolonged D2BT is unknown.

Methods

In 1,272 consecutive cases of STEMI with PPCI at our hospital from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2016, we studied TR‐PPCI adoption and its association with D2BT including a propensity matched analysis of similar risk TR‐PPCI and trans‐femoral primary PCI (TF‐PPCI) patients.

Results

With major increases in hospital‐level TR‐PPCI (hospital TR‐PPCI rate: 2.6% in 2011 to 79.4% in 2016, p‐trend<.001) and operator‐level TR‐PPCI (mean operator TR‐PPCI rate: 2.9% in 2011 to 81.1% in 2016, p‐trend = .005), median hospital level D2BT decreased from 102 min [81, 142] in 2011 to 84 min [60, 105] in 2016 (p‐trend<.001). TF crossover (10.3%; n = 57) was not associated with unadjusted D2BT (TR‐PPCI success 91 min [72, 112] vs. TF crossover 99 min [70, 115], p = .432) or D2BT adjusted for study year and presenting location (7.2% longer D2BT with TF crossover, 95% CI: −4.0% to +18.5%, p = .208). Among 273 propensity‐matched pairs, unadjusted D2BT (TR‐PPCI 98 [78, 117] min vs. TF‐PPCI 101 [76, 132] min, p = .304), and D2BT adjusted for study year and presenting location (5.0% shorter D2BT with TR‐PPCI, 95% CI: −12.4% to +2.4%, p = .188) were similar.

Conclusions

TR‐PPCI can be successfully implemented without compromising D2BT performance.

Aims

Peripheral arteries are constantly exposed to deformation (elongation, twisting, shortening, compression) making bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) a potentially attractive therapeutic alternative to metallic stents. We conducted a long‐term pilot preclinical study of a novel sirolimus‐eluting BRS in peripheral arteries.

Methods and results

Fourteen BRS were deployed in iliofemoral arteries of seven healthy Yucatan miniswine and examined with imaging, pharmacokinetic, histopathologic, and polymer degradation techniques at 0, 30, 90, 180 days, 1, 2, and 3.3 years. Angiographic late luminal loss remained unchanged at 30 and 180 days but significantly decreased from 1 to 3.3 years. optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed late increase in lumen area (1 year: 14.70 ± 3.58 mm2, 2 years 22.04 ± 3.81 mm2, and 3.3 years 23.45 ± 7.07 mm2; p < .05) primarily due to scaffold area enlargement between 1 and 3.3 years, while there was no difference in the percent area stenosis at all time points. Histologic evidence of scaffold degradation was observed starting at 2 years, with minimal inflammatory reaction. At 3.3 years, BRS struts were rarely discernible by OCT, confirmed by a nearly complete polymer degradation by molecular weight analysis.

Conclusions

In this pilot study, novel sirolimus‐eluting BRS showed promising acute and chronic performance in the iliofemoral arteries of Yucatan miniswine.
Four‐year incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation
Authors: Miao Benjamin , Hernandez Adrian V. , Roman Yuani M. , Alberts Mark J. , Coleman Craig I. , Baker William L.
Published: February 2020

Background

There is a paucity of contemporary data assessing the implications of atrial fibrillation (AF) on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with or at high‐risk for atherosclerotic disease managed in routine practice.

Hypothesis

We sought to evaluate the 4‐year incidence of MACE in patients with or at risk of atherosclerotic disease in the presence of AF.

Methods

Using US MarketScan data, we identified AF patients ≥45 years old with billing codes indicating established coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral artery disease or the presence of ≥3 risk factors for atherosclerotic disease from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 with a minimum of 4‐years of available follow‐up. We calculated the 4‐year incidence of MACE (cardiovascular death or hospitalization with a primary billing code for myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke). Patients were further stratified by CHA2DS2‐VASc score and oral anticoagulation (OAC) use at baseline.

Results

We identified 625,951 patients with 4‐years of follow‐up, of which 77,752 (12.4%) had comorbid AF. The median (25%, 75% range) CHA2DS2‐VASc score was 4 (3, 5) and 64% of patients received an OAC at baseline. The incidence of MACE increased as CHA2DS2‐VASc scores increased (P‐interaction<.0001 for all). AF patients receiving an OAC were less likely to experience MACE (8.9% vs 11.6%, P < .0001) including ischemic stroke (5.4% vs 6.7%, P < .0001).

Conclusion

Comorbid AF carries a substantial risk of MACE in patients with or at risk of atherosclerotic disease. MACE risk increases with higher CHA2DS2‐VASc scores and is more likely in patients without OAC.

Authors: Alver Alper , Baştürk Emine , Tulun Şevket , Şimşek İsmail
Published: February 2020

Phenolic compounds cause significant problems both in drinking water and wastewater due to their toxicity, high oxygen requirements, and low biodegradability. They are listed as primary pollutants by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the European Union. In this study, the adsorption efficiency of 2,4‐dichlorophenol (2,4‐DCP) on activated carbon, which is commonly used in treatment plants, was investigated under different experimental conditions including adsorbent dose, initial phenol concentration, initial pH, and contact time. As a result of experimental studies, it was determined that the adsorption isotherm and kinetics could be perfectly fitted to Langmuir and the assumption of pseudo‐second order model, respectively. Then, the adaptive neuro‐fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model was developed, which was the primary purpose of this study. The correlation between training and testing data and the ANFIS output was over 0.999. The generalization ability of the model was found to be 0.999. The input variables such as adsorbent dosage (14.2%), initial concentration (14.6%), initial pH (13.9%), and the contact time (57.2%) showed a higher effect on 2,4‐DCP removal efficiency in the sensitivity analysis. To summarize, modeling studies that are frequently preferred in treatment plants for the removal of different pollutants will reduce the number of experiments harmful to human health and save time, labor, and economy.
