Europäisches bäuerliches Erfahrungswissen zum Einsatz von pflanzlichen Hausmitteln bei ihren Tieren
Authors: Walkenhorst Michael 
Published: October 2018

ZusammenfassungDie Phytotherapie erfreut sich unter den Tierärztinnen und Tierärzten deutschsprachiger Länder stetig wachsendem Interesse. Doch was ist die Wissensbasis, auf der Arzneipflanzen gezielt beim Tier eingesetzt werden können? Neben historischer Literatur sowie Ergebnissen aus der aktuellen In-vitro-, In-vivo- und klinischen Forschung (Letztere ist in Bezug auf die Tiermedizin jedoch nach wie vor rar) sind es auch Ergebnisse der ethnoveterinärmedizinischen Forschung Europas. Insbesondere Bäuerinnen und Bauern haben hier Wissen lebendig erhalten. In den vergangenen Jahren lag ein Forschungsschwerpunkt in der Schweiz. Es konnten hier vielfach neue Einsatzgebiete für „alte Bekannte“ aus der Humanmedizin dokumentiert werden.

Authors: Böhm Andreas , Hardeling Andrea , Gundermann Berit 
Published: October 2018

Zusammenfassung
Einleitung Für die Verringerung des Tabak- und Alkoholkonsums in der Bevölkerung gelten Kinder und Jugendliche als wichtige Zielgruppe. Daten zum Substanzkonsum über einen längeren Zeitraum bei Jugendlichen stellen die Suchtpolitik im Land Brandenburg auf eine Grundlage und zeigen Trends.
Methode Jugendliche der 10. Klassen im Land Brandenburg wurden 2005, 2009, 2013 und 2017 zum Konsum von Alkohol, Tabak und weiteren psychoaktiven Substanzen sowie zu potentiell hilfreichen Ansprechpersonen befragt. Insgesamt wurden 42 221 Jugendliche mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 15,7 Jahren erreicht (Standardabweichung 0,7 Jahre).
Ergebnisse Der regelmäßige (mindestens wöchentliche) Tabakkonsum ist von 2005 bis 2017 gesunken, bei den Mädchen von 41 auf 17%, bei den Jungen von 37 auf 18%. Der regelmäßige Alkoholkonsum sank bei den Mädchen von 18 auf 9%, bei den Jungen von 34 auf 15%. Jungen trinken mehr Alkohol als Mädchen. Der Tabakkonsum ist in Gymnasien am geringsten und für beide Substanzen gibt es Unterschiede nach Regionen. Die Jugendlichen sehen die Gleichaltrigen als erste Ansprechpartner bei Problemen mit Suchtmitteln. Professionelle Helfer werden seltener genannt.
Schlussfolgerung Die Studie beschreibt eine günstige Entwicklung. Wenn die Reduktion aufrechterhalten oder sogar fortgesetzt wird, wird der Alkohol- und Tabakkonsum in der Bevölkerung abnehmen. Die Ergebnisse legen für die Suchtprävention einen verstärkten Peer-Ansatz nahe.

Inherited Disorders of Neurotransmitters: Classification and Practical Approaches for Diagnosis and Treatment
Authors: Brennenstuhl Heiko , Jung-Klawitter Sabine , Assmann Birgit , Opladen Thomas 
Published: October 2018

AbstractNeurotransmitter deficiencies are rare neurological disorders with clinical onset during childhood. The disorders are caused by genetic defects in the enzymes involved in synthesis, degradation, or transport of neurotransmitters or by defects in the cofactor biosynthesis such as tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). With the newly described DNAJC12 deficiency, a chaperon-associated neurotransmitter disorder, the pathophysiological spectrum has been broadened. All deficiencies result in a lack of monoamine neurotransmitters, especially dopamine and its products, with a subset leading to decreased levels of serotonin. Symptoms can occur already in the neonatal period. Classical signs are hypotonia, movement disorders, autonomous dysregulations, and impaired development. Diagnosis depends on quantitative detection of neurotransmitters in cerebrospinal fluid, since peripheral markers in blood or urine are less reliable. Treatment is based on supplementation of the missing neurotransmitter precursors or restoring deficient cofactors for endogenous enzymatic synthesis. In recent years, knowledge about this orphan group of diseases increased substantially among clinicians. However, the difficult task of integrating clinical symptoms and laboratory values still leads to a critical delay in diagnosis and therapy for patients. This review aims at enhancing the understanding of neurotransmitter disorders and should help practicing clinicians to choose useful diagnostic steps on the way to a valid diagnosis.

Purpose We hypothesized that surgical energy could be used to create hysterotomies in open fetal surgery.
Study Design Initial studies compared the LigaSure Impact and Harmonic ACE + 7 Shears in the efficiency of hysterotomy and thermal damage. Pregnant ewes at an estimated gestational age (EGA) of 116 to 120 days (term = 145; n = 7) underwent hysterotomy using either device. Hysterotomy edges were resected, and thermal injury extent was determined by histopathological assessment. Upon determining a superior device, subsequent studies compared this to the AutoSuture Premium Poly CS*-57 Stapler in uterine healing. Pregnant ewes (n = 6) at an EGA of 87 to 93 days underwent 6-cm hysterotomy in each gravid horn with either the stapler (n = 5) or Harmonic (n = 5) followed by closure and animal recovery. After 37 to 42 days, uterine healing was assessed by evaluating tensile strength and histopathology.
Results Thermal damage was more extensive with the LigaSure (n = 11 hysterotomies) than with the Harmonic (n = 11; 5.6 ± 1 vs. 3.1 ± 0.6 mm; p < 0.0001);therefore, the Harmonic was selected for healing studies. Gross scar appearance and tensile strength were the same between the Harmonic and stapler. The stapler caused more fibrosis (4/7 samples with “moderate” fibrosis vs. 0/8 with the Harmonic; p = 0.02).
Conclusion The Harmonic ACE + 7 caused less thermal injury than the LigaSure Impact and performed similar to the CS*-57 Stapler in uterine healing with continued gestation.
Clinical Insights for Cervical Ripening and Labor Induction Using Prostaglandins
Authors: Pierce Stephanie , Bakker Ronan , Myers Dean , Edwards Rodney 
Published: October 2018

AbstractCervical ripening is often the first component of labor induction and is used to facilitate the softening and thinning of the cervix in preparation for labor. Common methods used for cervical ripening include both mechanical (e.g., Foley or Cook catheters) and pharmacologic (e.g., prostaglandins) methods. The choice of method(s) for ripening should take into account the patient's medical and obstetric history, clinical characteristics, and risk of adverse effects if uterine tachysystole were to occur. In this narrative review, we highlight the differences between the prostaglandins dinoprostone and misoprostol with respect to pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and potential safety concerns. Practical guidance on choosing an appropriate prostaglandin agent for cervical ripening and labor induction is provided via the use of clinical vignettes. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of each preparation allows clinicians to individualize treatment, depending on the indications for induction and unique characteristics of each patient.
Bartlebys: Gothicizing office fiction
Authors: Kobayashi Masaomi 
Published: October 2018

AbstractGothic fiction is in essence about the power of place, particularly of house. If this obsessive focus on the house is found in other genres of fiction, Gothic fiction can certainly expand its realm of representation; namely, the extensive capacity of this genre can be illustrated by unveiling the Gothic nature of the seemingly non-Gothic. Herein lies why special attention is given to the office as an idiosyncratic kind of house in office fiction: fiction featuring such characters as clerks, civil servants, and company employees. In Gothicizing office fiction, Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall-Street” draws parallels with Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis.” These classics of nongenre fiction have hardly been considered the classics of office fiction. The primary emphasis of this study is on the international kinship between Melville’s Bartleby and Kafka’s Samsa: Bartleby’s occupation of the law office turns the place into a house, and Samsa’s transformation into the monstrous vermin turns his apartment into an office. These dual settings render each protagonist uncanny and ghostly. The discovery of parallels between the protagonists who embody work-life integration stems from incorporating not only elements typical of the Gothic, such as supernatural happenings and closed-room settings, but also other elements, especially work-life balance. This focus on work-life issues allows an exploration of another classic office-fiction story about an Asian Bartleby. Thus, cultivating an environment in which Bartleby’s transnational cousins are rediscovered as Bartlebys lends itself to extending the scope of the Gothic. After all, Gothic fiction is an expanding universe in which the walls come tumbling down between office and house, between work and life, and even between the Gothic and the non-Gothic. The findings of this study highlight how every sphere of life, including work life, is potentially Gothicized.
The creative use of absences
Authors: Montoro Rocío 
Published: October 2018

AbstractIn an article published in this journal,Partington (2014)addresses the criticism often made against corpus linguistics that it is apparently unable to cope with absences. He convincingly argues that corpus linguistics is better suited to account for absences than has been claimed. I resume the debate by discussing a type of absence not fully addressed inPartington (2014)which I have termed ‘creative absences’. With a focus on corpus stylistics, I consider the way in which the author Henry Green dispenses with a compulsory element in the grammatical structure of Standard English, i.e. the determiner (mainly, the definite article). By means of a manual analysis as well as two corpus stylistic analyses (keyness and text-type analysis) of the novelLiving(Green 1929), I explore the effects of such an unorthodox use and argue, alongsidePartington (2014), for the usefulness of corpus approaches to account for at least certain types of absences.
Feeding modulation in insects through factors in the hemolymph
Authors: Nagata Shinji 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT
In insect hemolymph, many factors are present that can influence feeding motivation, such as lipids, carbohydrates, and other metabolites. Levels of these hemolymph factors fluctuate according to metabolic, nutrient and feeding states, eventually affecting feeding motivation and consequent regularly occurring feeding cycles. Such fluctuations contribute to energy homeostasis and innate feeding behavior in insects possibly by endocrine systems. Ultimately, orchestration of bioactive factors in the hemolymph modulate feeding motivation and nutrient selective behavior in insects.
The influence of facial expressions on attack recognition and response behaviour in karate kumite
Authors: Petri Katharina , Bandow Nicole , Salb Simon , Witte Kerstin 
Published: October 2018

AbstractFacial expressions play a crucial role in human daily life interactions, so it is possible that they contain relevant anticipatory cues. Therefore, we conducted two studies in karate kumite to analyse the influence of facial expressions on the attack recognition (study A) and on the response behaviour (study B). In study A, 10 karate athletes (age 14–26 years, national and international level) had to recognize temporally occluded karate attacks in 2 conditions (normal and blurred face of the attacker) and identify the upcoming attack (verbal reports). In study B, a natural fight was initiated with 12 karate athletes (age 15–32 years, national and international level) in 3 conditions: an attacker with a normal face, wearing a ski mask, and wearing a ski mask together with sunglasses. The measured parameters response quality and time for response were calculated applying the McNemar test (study A) and Friedman test (study B). Results of study A showed a significant improvement in the attack recognition in the blurred face condition compared to the normal face condition. In study B a significant improvement in time for response was observed in the ski mask and ski mask plus sunglasses conditions (r < 0.1). No significant difference for response quality was found in any of the three conditions. The results of our work indicate that the disguise of the attacker's face leads to a better attack recognition and response behaviour. We conclude that anticipatory cues in karate kumite context mainly lie in the attacker's movements and not in the attacker's face.
Clinical research using extracellular vesicles: insights from the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles 2018 Annual Meeting
Authors: Rayyan Morsi , Zheutlin Alex , Byrd James Brian 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTThe abstracts presented at the 2018 International Society for Extracellular Vesicles Annual Meeting offer unique insight into the newest discoveries related to the biology and applied use of extracellular vesicles (EVs). As an extension of a recent “Clinical‐Wrap Up” discussion at the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles 2018 Annual Meeting, a systematic review of each abstract was performed to determine which abstracts could be considered clinical research. Once the clinical research abstracts were identified, systematic data extraction included: the major focus of each clinical research abstract; the countries in which the work was done; and the sample size, if provided in the abstract. Each abstract was reviewed by two independent authors, with a third author resolving discrepancies in cases of disagreement. 174 out of 656 (27%) unique abstracts were determined to be clinical research. Oncology was a principal research focus (51 of the 174 clinical research abstracts, 29%). Many other clinical research abstracts presented at the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles 2018 Annual Meeting focused on the use of human samples for development of methods for potential application in the clinic. Beyond oncology and methods development, a wide range of topics was represented, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, genetics, and many others. Current research involving EVs highlights the common, but false dichotomy of science into curiosity‐driven basic science or application‐driven clinical research, when in fact both quest for understanding and intent to apply the findings appeared to drive much of the work at the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles 2018 Annual Meeting. Using Pasteur's Quadrant as a framework, we discuss where the field of EV research is heading and how we may gain insight into the biological function of EVs in tandem with how they may benefit individual health.
Fractal Complexity of Daily Physical Activity Patterns Differs With Age Over the Life Span and Is Associated With Mortality in Older Adults
Authors: Raichlen David A , Klimentidis Yann C , Hsu Chiu-Hsieh , Alexander Gene E 
Published: October 2018

AbstractBackgroundAccelerometers are included in a wide range of devices that monitor and track physical activity for health-related applications. However, the clinical utility of the information embedded in their rich time-series data has been greatly understudied and has yet to be fully realized. Here, we examine the potential for fractal complexity of actigraphy data to serve as a clinical biomarker for mortality risk.MethodsWe use detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) to analyze actigraphy data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; n = 11,694). The DFA method measures fractal complexity (signal self-affinity across time-scales) as correlations between the amplitude of signal fluctuations in time-series data across a range of time-scales. The slope, α, relating the fluctuation amplitudes to the time-scales over which they were measured describes the complexity of the signal.ResultsFractal complexity of physical activity (α) decreased significantly with age (p = 1.29E−6) and was lower in women compared with men (p = 1.79E−4). Higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in older adults and in women were associated with greater fractal complexity. In adults aged 50–79 years, lower fractal complexity of activity (α) was associated with greater mortality (hazard ratio = 0.64; 95% confidence interval = 0.49–0.82) after adjusting for age, exercise engagement, chronic diseases, and other covariates associated with mortality.ConclusionsWearable accelerometers can provide a noninvasive biomarker of physiological aging and mortality risk after adjusting for other factors strongly associated with mortality. Thus, this fractal analysis of accelerometer signals provides a novel clinical application for wearable accelerometers, advancing efforts for remote monitoring of physiological health by clinicians.
Near-optimal sample complexity for convex tensor completion
Authors: Ghadermarzy Navid , Plan Yaniv , Yilmaz Özgür 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWe study the problem of estimating a low-rank tensor when we have noisy observations of a subset of its entries. A rank-$r$, order-$d$, $N \times N \times \cdots \times N$ tensor, where $r=O(1)$, has $O(dN)$ free variables. On the other hand, prior to our work, the best sample complexity that was achieved in the literature is $O\left(N^{\frac{d}{2}}\right)$, obtained by solving a tensor nuclear-norm minimization problem. In this paper, we consider the ‘M-norm’, an atomic norm whose atoms are rank-1 sign tensors. We also consider a generalization of the matrix max-norm to tensors, which results in a quasi-norm that we call ‘max-qnorm’. We prove that solving an M-norm constrained least squares (LS) problem results in nearly optimal sample complexity for low-rank tensor completion (TC). A similar result holds for max-qnorm as well. Furthermore, we show that these bounds are nearly minimax rate-optimal. We also provide promising numerical results for max-qnorm constrained TC, showing improved recovery compared to matricization and alternating LS.
Subvaluationism and classical recapture
Authors: Teijeiro Paula 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Adopting a non-classical logic may not imply resigning the classical theories that have proven their worth. Nevertheless, the project of classical recapture poses some challenges, some of them specific to paraconsistent approaches. In this article, we analyse the consequences of introducing a recovery operator to subvaluationist logic. We argue that the classical recovery can indeed be carried out in a subvaluationist setting, but that doing so amounts to committing to a hierarchy of recaptures.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
We performed a far-IR imaging survey of the circumstellar dust shells of 144 evolved stars as a mission program of the AKARI infrared astronomical satellite using the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) instrument. With this survey, we deliver far-IR surface brightness distributions of roughly 10′ × 40′ or 10′ × 20′ areas of the sky around the target evolved stars in the four FIS bands at 65, 90, 140, and 160 μm. Our objectives are to characterize the far-IR surface brightness distributions of the cold dust component in the circumstellar dust shells, from which we derive the amount of cold dust grains as low as 20 K and empirically establish the early mass loss history. In this first installment of the series, we introduce the project and its aims, describe the observations, data reduction, and surface brightness correction process, and present the entire data set along with the results of integrated photometry measurements (i.e., the central source and circumstellar dust shell together). We find that: (1) far-IR emission is detected from all but one object at the spatial resolution about 30′–50′ in the corresponding bands; (2) roughly 60%–70% of the target sources show some extension; (3) previously unresolved nearby objects in the far IR are now resolved around 28 target sources; (4) the results of photometry measurements are reasonable with respect to the entries in the AKARI/FIS Bright Source Catalogue, despite the fact that the targets were assumed to be point sources when catalogue flux densities were computed; and (5) an IR two-color diagram would place the target sources in a roughly linear distribution that may correlate with the age of the circumstellar dust shell and can potentially be used to identify which targets are more extended than others.
