Objective To systematically evaluate pregnancy and labor course, obstetrical complications, and maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with endometriosis, stratifying according to the specific location of the disease.
Study Design We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively maintained obstetrical database from January 2011 to August 2014 to identify all women with a previous histological diagnosis of endometriosis who delivered at our institution (cases). We divided the cases according to the specific location of the disease (deep infiltrating endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis, and peritoneal endometriosis). As controls, we identified all unaffected women who delivered in the year 2013. To avoid the confounding effect of parity, we limited our analysis to nulliparous women.
Results A total of 118 nulliparous women with endometriosis and 1,690 nulliparous controls were identified. Women with endometriosis were significantly older, had a lower body mass index, and had a higher incidence of assisted reproductive technology. The duration of pregnancy was significantly shorter among women with endometriosis. A higher incidence of placenta previa (3.4 vs. 0.5%; p = 0.006), hypertension (11 vs. 5.9%; p = 0.04), cesarean section (41.5 vs. 24.2%; p < 0.0001), and vacuum delivery (10.1 vs. 2.9%; p = 0.006) was found in women with endometriosis. Neonatal outcomes were similar between groups. The incidence of placenta previa in patients with deep endometriosis was 11.7 versus 0.5% among controls (p < 0.0001), whereas in women with ovarian and peritoneal endometriosis, it was similar to the controls.
Conclusion Women with endometriosis have a higher incidence of vacuum delivery, cesarean section, and placenta previa compared with unaffected women. The higher risk of placenta previa is attributable exclusively to women with deep endometriosis. Neonatal outcomes are unaffected by the presence of the disease.

Published: July 2019

AbstractObjective This study compares the effect of partially hydrolyzed formula (PHF) and standard formula (SF) on the severity and short-term outcomes of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS).Study Design We performed a retrospective chart review of 124 opioid-dependent mothers and their term or near-term infants. Infants were categorized according to the predominant type of formula consumed during the hospital stay. Finnegan's scale was used to assess symptoms of withdrawal.Results A total of 110 infants met our inclusion criteria. Thirty-four (31%) infants were fed predominantly PHF, 60 (54%) infants were fed SF, and 16 (15%) infants were fed maternal breast milk. There was no difference between the infants in the PHF and SF groups with respect to requirement of morphine (MSO4) therapy, maximum dose of MSO4 used, duration of MSO4 treatment or length of hospital stay after performing multivariate analyses to control for type of drug used by the mother, maternal smoking, regular prenatal care, inborn status, and maximum Finnegan score prior to MSO4 treatment.Conclusion Use of PHF failed to impact short-term outcomes in infants treated for NAS including maximum MSO4 dose, duration of MSO4 treatment, and length of hospital stay. A prospective randomized controlled trial may be indicated to confirm this finding.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Objective Substance use disorders often coexist with depression. The objective of this study was to establish whether pregnant women who report depressive symptomatology were more likely to report use of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana during pregnancy.
Study Design This was a secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network Preterm Prediction Study. Self-reported history of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use was compared between pregnant women with and without depressive symptomatology with adjustment for demographic factors.
Results After adjustment for demographic factors, women with depressive symptomatology were more likely to report: any alcohol use (odds ratio [OR]: 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–1.8), >1 drink per week (OR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.0–1.8), and >1 drink per day (OR: 2.2, 95% CI: 1.5–3.4). Women with depressive symptomatology were also more likely to report use of marijuana (OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.2–2.6) and cigarettes (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1–1.7).
Conclusion Depressive symptomatology was associated with an increase in self-reported the use of alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana during pregnancy. These data reveal the importance of targeted screening of pregnant women with depressive symptomatology for substance use.
Association of Caloric Intake, Protein Intake, and Enteral Feeding Initiation with Weight Gain in Infants Born 32 to 34 Weeks' Gestation
Authors: Talbo Meryem Khadija , Besner Marie-Eve , Plourde Hugues , Claveau Martine , Beltempo Marc 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to determine the association of caloric intake, protein intake, and enteral feed initiation time in the first 3 days of life with weight loss percentage (%WL) at 7 days among infants born 32 to 34 weeks' gestational age (GA).
Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of 252 infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Patient data included patient characteristics, daily weight, intake, and method of nutrition in the first 3 days. Multivariate linear regression was used to explore associations between outcome (%WL at day 7 of life) and exposures (caloric intake, protein intake, and enteral feed initiation time) and adjusted for covariates (GA, birth weight, and sex).
Results Median 7 days %WL was 2.3% (interquartile range: −5.2, 1.2). Average caloric intake and average protein intake in the first 3 days were 57 kcal/kg/d and 2.3 g/kg/d. In the adjusted linear regression, caloric intake and protein intake (coefficient = 0.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.06, 0.09 and coefficient = 0.11, 95% CI: −0.36, 2.30) were not associated with %WL at 7 days. Enteral feeds ≤12 hours were associated with less %WL at 7 days of life (Coef = −0.15, 95% CI: −2.67, −0.17).
Conclusion Enteral feeds ≤12 hours after delivery is associated with lower %WL at 7 days among preterm infants 32 to 34 weeks' GA.
In vivo imaging reveals transient microglia recruitment and functional recovery of photoreceptor signaling after injury
Authors: Miller Eric B. , Zhang Pengfei , Ching Karli , Pugh Edward N. , Burns Marie E. 
Published: July 2019

Significance
Microglia, the resident macrophages of the central nervous system, are critical for synaptic pruning and maintenance and for mitigating injury and neurodegeneration. Determining whether microglia–neuron interactions are beneficial in specific instances has been difficult, largely because of the local and transient nature of the interactions. Using simultaneous optical coherence tomography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and adaptive optics SLO retinal imaging in mice, we show interactions of microglia and photoreceptors over time scales from seconds to months during injury, degeneration, and repair. In vivo optical assessment of photoreceptor signaling in a large neuronal field encompassing the injured area allows us to relate the time course of these microglia movements to that of the tissue remodeling and functional recovery.
First Lady, Secretary of State and Presidential Candidate
Authors: Ahrens Kathleen 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
While many studies have examined to what extent politicians invoked a particular source domain to advance their ideology, no study to date has focused on the metaphor use of an individual politician across different political roles. This paper fills this gap by analyzing the war metaphors used by Hillary Clinton in her personal speeches in the roles of U.S. First Lady, a U.S. Senator, and as a candidate for the 2008 Democratic nomination for U.S. President and demonstrates that Clinton’s metaphor use reflects a politician who chooses her battles carefully and invokes figurative language to gain support for the causes that are important to her.
Fairies, Christmas miracles and sham marriages
Authors: Heyvaert Pauline 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This research analyzes the use of potentially deliberate metaphors in Belgian governmental policy statements over a time span of ten years. The analysis of this type of metaphor allows for further investigation into metaphor variation. Our results suggest that one variable that plays a role in the variation of political metaphors is the political situation of a country: the more hectic the political landscape, the more metaphor variation might occur. Throughout this chapter, some of the most striking potentially deliberate metaphors and tendencies are discussed, with the aim of establishing a possible explanation for what drives metaphorical variation in political discourse.
Greek metaphors in the fiscal straightjacket
Authors: Vogiatzis Anastasios 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This paper examines the use of figurative language in the context of the Greek financial crisis during the period 2010–2011. In particular it examines the use of metaphor as a framing device (Camp 2015) in five speeches delivered by the Greek Prime Minister, George A. Papandreou. These speeches aimed to officially introduce to the public the collapse of the Greek economy, and most importantly, the change in the financial policies of the government which would be, or were, characterized by harsh economic measures such as job cuts, reduction of wages and pensions, as well as cuts on social spending. A close look at these speeches reveals extensive use of metaphoric language, with positively valenced metaphoric frames significantly outnumbering negative ones. The metaphoric language of the speeches appears in clusters and revolves mainly around three core themes: namely, the state of the economy, the process to improve it, and the role of the Greek people in this process. Variation in political metaphor is observed in these three themes and also in a case of a non-linguistic metaphor related to light. A fact that makes the use of metaphoric language of extreme interest in these speeches is that it is placed within a straightjacket, i.e. the fiscal straightjacket.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
The introduction offers an overview of the literature on political metaphors, with Critical Discourse Analysis and Conceptual Metaphor Theory as starting points. It then presents the main objective of the book, viz. to study the variation in political metaphor, based on the analyses of actual data, from diverse corpora, political actors and countries. On this basis, the threefold approach to variation in political metaphor is presented: diachronic, functional and methodological variations.
Mapping translation studies in China based on Holmes/Toury Map
Authors: Zhao Yanfei , Ma Huijuan 
Published: July 2019

AbstractIn the evolution of Translation Studies (TS) in China, one landmark development was its being established as a standalone discipline in 2004 and a seminal publication in this regard isChinese Translators Journal(CTJ). This study, by surveying 1,283 papers published inCTJfrom 2004 to 2016, aims to identify the main features and research trends of TS in China based on the Holmes/Toury map. It reveals that of the three branches of TS, the theoretical branch claimed the largest share, that the number of descriptive studies had been increasing and that the scope of areas covered by applied TS was expanding. Besides, the study also verifies the significant value of Holmes’ framework as a highly serviceable guide and its applicability,mutatis mutandis, to TS in China. This study may arguably shed fresh light on the latest developments of TS in the Chinese context.
Prosodic versatility, hierarchical rank and pragmatic function in
conversational markers
Authors: Navarro Antonio Hidalgo , Hernández Diana Martínez 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In the framework of the prosody-markers
interface, the present study focuses its attention on a specific
functional aspect: the possible relationship between prosodic
realization and the higher or lower hierarchical rank of a marker in
the discursive structure. We start from the hypothesis that the
prosodic realization of certain markers in a given context,
according to its particular F0 curve, its accentual realization, its
phonic dependence, its position, etc., can condition its
hierarchical-structural range. We have taken as a base the
Val.Es.Co. Group Corpus (Briz
and Val.Es.Co. Group 2002; Cabedo and Pons 2013). The
structural segmentation model of discourse adopted as reference
standard is that by Briz and
Val.Es.Co. Group (2003) and Briz and Val.Es.Co. Group (2014).
Causal relations between discourse and grammar
Authors: Degand Liesbeth 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The chapter presents a cross-linguistic study of
the subordinating conjunctions parce que in French
and omdat in Dutch (both corresponding to English
because) at the interface between discourse and
grammar. It is argued that causal subordinate conjunctions do not
always mark a causal relation at the discourse level, because they
do not always link two independent utterances or speech-acts. Such
subordinating conjunctions, however, can gain discourse status, when
they are used paratactically; as may be witnessed from accompanying
discourse behavior such as co-occurring discourse markers, filled
pauses, declination reset, etc. Thus, the aim of this study is to
gain deeper insight into the discursive consequences of the
grammatical options of coordination and subordination.
Expectation changes over time
Authors: Gerwien Johannes , Rudka Martha 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Focus-sensitive particles (FP) are assumed to
guide comprehenders’ attention by focalizing constituents and
contrasting them to a set of alternatives (Blakemore 2002). However, here we show that
the effect the German FP sogar asserts is not
uniform across different sentences. We then present findings from a
visual world study (Huettig
et al. 2011) which show that, when the FP induces a high
degree of expectation change during incremental online
comprehension, visual attention to focalized targets is delayed.
This suggests that (1) the system attempts to integrate the FP into
the situation model immediately, but that (2) a full model update,
including the calculation of new predictions about upcoming
linguistic material is cognitively demanding in high expectation
change contexts.
Theory of active particle penetration through a planar elastic membrane
Authors: Daddi-Moussa-Ider Abdallah , Liebchen Benno , Menzel Andreas M , Löwen Hartmut 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
With the rapid advent of biomedical and biotechnological innovations, a deep understanding of the nature of interaction between nanomaterials and cell membranes, tissues, and organs, has become increasingly important. Active penetration of nanoparticles through cell membranes is a fascinating phenomenon that may have important implications in various biomedical and clinical applications. Using a fully analytical theory supplemented by particle-based computer simulations, the penetration process of an active particle through a planar two-dimensional elastic membrane is studied. The membrane is modeled as a self-assembled sheet of particles, uniformly arranged on a square lattice. A coarse-grained model is introduced to describe the mutual interactions between the membrane particles. The active penetrating particle is assumed to interact sterically with the membrane particles. State diagrams are presented to fully characterize the system behavior as functions of the relevant control parameters governing the transition between different dynamical states. Three distinct scenarios are identified. These compromise trapping of the active particle, penetration through the membrane with subsequent self-healing, in addition to penetration with permanent disruption of the membrane. The latter scenario may be accompanied by a partial fragmentation of the membrane into bunches of isolated or clustered particles and creation of a hole of a size exceeding the interaction range of the membrane components. It is further demonstrated that the capability of penetration is strongly influenced by the size of the approaching particle relative to that of the membrane particles. Accordingly, active particles with larger size are more likely to remain trapped at the membrane for the same propulsion speed. Such behavior is in line with experimental observations. Our analytical theory is based on a combination of a perturbative expansion technique and a discrete-to-continuum formulation. It well describes the system behavior in the small-deformation regime. Particularly, the theory allows to determine the membrane displacement of the particles in the trapping state. Our approach might be helpful for the prediction of the transition threshold between the trapping and penetration in real-space experiments involving motile swimming bacteria or artificial active particles.
Parallel quantum trajectories via forking for sampling without redundancy
Authors: Park Daniel K , Sinayskiy Ilya , Fingerhuth Mark , Petruccione Francesco , Rhee June-Koo Kevin 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The computational cost of preparing a quantum state can be substantial depending on the structure of data to be encoded. Many quantum algorithms require repeated sampling to find the answer, mandating reconstruction of the same input state for every execution of an algorithm. Thus, the advantage of quantum computation can diminish due to redundant state initialization. We present a framework based on quantum forking that bypasses this fundamental issue and expedites a family of tasks that require sampling from independent quantum processes. Quantum forking propagates an input state to multiple quantum trajectories in superposition, and a weighted power sum of individual results from each trajectories is obtained in one measurement via quantum interference. The significance of our work is demonstrated via applications to implementing non-unitary quantum channels, studying entanglement and benchmarking quantum control. A proof-of-principle experiment is implemented on the IBM and Rigetti quantum cloud platforms.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
During the LHC long shutdown 2, in 2019/2020, the LHCb collaboration is going to perform a major upgrade of the experiment. The upgraded detector is designed to operate at a five times higher instantaneous luminosity than in Run II and can be read out at the full bunch-crossing frequency of the LHC, abolishing the need for a hardware trigger. This talk will present a short overview of the upgrade activities and highlight the physics reach of the upgraded experiment for selected physics topics. Plans for future upgrades will be briefly outlined.
BSM constraints from model-independent measurements: A Contur Update
Authors: Butterworth Jon 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Particle-level measurements, especially of differential cross-sections, made in fiducial regions of phase-space have a high degree of model-independence and can therefore be used to give information about a wide variety of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics implemented in Monte Carlo generators, using a broad range of final states. The Contur package is used to make such comparisons. We summarise a snapshot of current results for a number of BSM scenarios; a UV complete model in which the global Baryon-number minus Lepton-number symmetry is gauged; several Dark Matter simplified models, and two generic light scalar models.
Thermal Model Fits in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb Collisions

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Recent work on the particle composition (hadrochemistry) of the final state in proton-proton (p-p), proton-lead (p-Pb) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions as a function of the charged particle multiplicity (dN
ch/dη) is reviewed. It is argued that for high multiplicities (at least about 20 charged hadrons in the mid-rapidity interva) consistent results are obtained in the thermal model.
Unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings
Authors: Deandrea Aldo 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In this talk we describe how unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings can be obtained in gauge-Higgs unification models in extra-dimensions using a toy model. It is usually considered that such unification is difficult to obtain using simple group theory arguments. We consider a toy model based on the SU(3) symmetry and show that including the renormalisation group running at one loop for the couplings improve the result. The gauge couplings unify asymptotically at high energies, and this may result from the presence of an UV fixed point. The Yukawa coupling is enhanced at low energies, showing that a genuine unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings may be achieved. Some other arguments and directions of study are also mentioned to tackle the problem of producing a scalar potential allowing to accommodate the measured Higgs mass at 125 GeV.
