Background and Purpose—
Blood pressure (BP) control in the early phase of stroke is controversial to reduce the risk of poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). This study was to investigate the impact of BP levels in the early phase of ischemic stroke and stroke subtype on PSCI.

Methods—
Seven hundred and ninety-six patients with acute ischemic stroke were included. Cognitive function was assessed after stroke onset using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Patients were divided into quintiles according to systolic BP and diastolic BP levels in the early phase. Subtype analyses were according to Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment classification (infarct cause) and Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification (infarct location).

Results—

After adjusting for multiple variables, the quintiles with the lowest systolic BP (Q1, 102–127 mm Hg) and with the highest systolic BP (Q5, 171–215 mm Hg) were associated with increased PSCI risk (odds ratio, 1.83; 95% confidence interval, 1.64–2.28;
P
=0.007 in Q1; odds ratio, 2.32; 95% confidence interval, 1.74–2.90;
P
<0.001 in Q5) at 3 months as compared with the middle quintile (Q3, 143–158 mm Hg). Similar association was found in diastolic BP quintiles. The analysis of cerebral infarction subtype demonstrated that both large artery atherosclerosis and total anterior circulation infarct were associated with increased risk of PSCI at 3 months after adjusting for multiple variables (large artery atherosclerosis: odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.06–1.90;
P
=0.031; total anterior circulation infarct: odds ratio, 1.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.32–2.15;
P
=0.001).

Conclusions—
Lower or higher BP in the early phase of ischemic stroke was correlated with increased PSCI risk at 3 months. Maintaining systolic/diastolic BP in the levels of 143 to 158/93 to 102 mm Hg might be beneficial to reduce the occurrence of PSCI. Moreover, large artery atherosclerosis subtype and total anterior circulation infarct subtype were correlated with increased PSCI risk at 3 months.

Efficacy of anuran trapping and monitoring techniques in the tropical forests of Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea
Authors: Mraz Alexis , Weir Mark , McLaughlin Patrick 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Anurans are of particular importance in monitoring the ecosystems of tropical environments. Existing literature reveals little standardization in methodology, and many of the techniques that have been shown to be effective in deciduous environments, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) refuges and pitfall traps, are either inadequate or too difficult to implement in tropical environments. This study evaluated three anuran trapping and monitoring techniques for use in a tropical environment: PVC pipe refuges, pitfall traps, and anuran census. Prior research validated the use of PVC refuges and pitfall traps in deciduous forests, but their use outside of the Americas has not been thoroughly examined. PVC refuges failed to attract anurans in this study, likely due to the abundance of natural refugia characteristic of tropical environments with dense foliage. Pitfall traps utilizing 19-liter buckets are difficult to implement in rocky soil and were shown to be ineffective utilizing buckets small enough to implement in this research. The modifications to the pitfall traps made in this research allowed for effective use with smaller, easier to install buckets. The anuran census described in this study utilizes established trails or paths for a continuous census. This study shows evidence for the effective utilization of both modified pitfall trapping and anuran census in monitoring population densities, assessing species richness, and detecting the presence of rare or cryptic species.
Exile, Restoration, and the Question of Postexilic Suffering in Josephus
Authors: Werse Nicholas R. 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe present study focuses on the representation of restoration and postexilic suffering in Josephus’sAntiquities of the Jews. This study first builds upon Feldman’s observations, arguing that Josephus interprets the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple as the Judean restoration marking the end of exilic judgment. Second, this study examines Josephus’s interpretation of subsequent postexilic oppression and suffering at the hands of foreigners. Josephus interprets this post-restoration suffering through the theological lens of the exile, but not as a continuation or even return to a single “exile” event. Rather, for Josephus, the exile is the archetypal experience of divine judgment for disobedience. Thus subsequent disobedience in the post-restoration age could lead to a repeat of this “sin–punishment” paradigm. Josephus utilizes this repeatable paradigm to explain periods of Jewish suffering after their restoration from exile.
The Sheep-Stealing Dilemma
Authors: Gez Yonatan N. , Droz Yvan 
Published: June 2018

AbstractAmong Kenyan Christians, the distinction between the terms ‘church member’ and ‘visitor’ is widely used, and occasional visits to non-membership churches are a common practice. In our ethnographic research in urban Kenya (Nairobi and Kisumu), we observed how, across denominations, church visits abide by similar, formalized, and ritualized codes. Through an analysis of the subtleties of this institutionalized practice, we expose a fundamental tension in which even as church leaders are expected to act in the spirit of Christian unity and avoid proselytizing visitors from other churches, they also seek to maximize the use of church visits as an effective instrument for recruiting new members. Investigating how churches manage this ‘sheep-stealing dilemma’, we analyze some institutional strategies that favour membership retention and attraction without formally undermining the social legitimacy of church visits.
New Material for Studying Pāṇini’s Grammar and Its Vedic Background
Authors: Kawamura Yūto 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
In his Abhidharmakośabhāṣya, Vasubandhu accepts the expression tasmai praṇipatya ‘having prostrated myself to that [teacher]’. However, there is a difficulty in introducing the dative ending Ṅe after tad. According to the traditional interpretation of Aṣṭādhyāyī 2.3.16: namaḥsvastisvāhāsvadhālaṁvaṣaḍyogāc ca, a dative ending follows a nominal which is syntactically connected with the word namas ‘reverence, revering’ and not its synonyms like praṇipatya. Sthiramati argues that this rule includes the synonyms in its domain as well, thereby accounting for the dative form tasmai: both namas and praṇipatya involve the same meaning, reverence, so that the latter as well as the former can fall under the domain of the rule. According to him, this inclusion of the synonyms is to be inferred from Pāṇini’s use of the expression -yogāt in A 2.3.16; otherwise, Pāṇini’s wording would become meaningless.
On the East Iranian Genitive Plural Ending
Authors: Peyrot Michaël 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The Khotanese and Sogdian genitive plural endings cannot be satisfactorily explained from the traditionally posited ending *-nām. Instead, Khotanese -nu and Sogdian -nw point to *-nam. Instead of assuming a special rule that shortens the expected *-nām to *-nam, it is argued that the evidence from East Iranian is to be taken at face value. A short ending *-om can be reconstructed for Proto-Indo-European as well and the East Iranian reflexes of a short ending are probably an archaism.

An Illusory Contour Can Facilitate Visually Induced Self-Motion Perception
Authors: Nakamura Shinji , Takahashi Shin’ya 
Published: June 2018

AbstractUniform motion of a visual stimulus induces an illusory perception of the observer’s self-body moving in the opposite direction (vection). The present study investigated whether vertical illusory contours can affect horizontal translational vection using abutting-line stimulus. The stimulus consisted of a number of horizontal line segments that moved horizontally at a constant speed. A group of vertically aligned segments created a ‘striped column’, while line segments in adjoining columns were shifted vertically to make a slight gap between them. In the illusory contour condition, the end points of the segments within the column were horizontally aligned to generate vertical illusory contours. In the condition with no illusory contour, these end points were not aligned within the column so that the illusory contour was not perceived. In the current study, 11 participants performed this experiment, and it was shown that stronger vection was induced in the illusory contour condition than in the condition with no illusory contour. The results of the current experiment provide novel evidence suggesting that non-luminance-defined visual features have a facilitative effect on visual self-motion perception.
Potential of Voronoi Diagram for the Conserved Remapping of Precipitation
Authors: Kim Ki-Hwan , Lee Eun-Hee , Hong Song-You 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This study considers a remapping algorithm between irregularly distributed observations and grid points based on Voronoi diagrams and examines its potential for verification of precipitation forecasts. We propose a new remapping method using Voronoi diagrams to apply conservative area-weighted remapping on grid data to station points, describing a representative area for each station point. Conservative remapping is applied to interpolate daily precipitation data between grid and station points over South Korea. The proposed method shows significant differences from bilinear interpolation, which has been widely used in modeling communities, for local maximum and mean in a given domain. It is also shown that different interpolation methods have an impact on verification results of precipitation forecast from a numerical weather prediction model against station observations. It is suggested that the proposed method has potential to be used for verifying precipitation forecasts at in situ observation points, with its conservativeness and capability to be applied in any remapping direction between grids and stations.
Neoextractivism and Indigenous Water Ritual in Salar de Atacama, Chile
Authors: Babidge Sally , Bolados Paola 
Published: June 2018

Latin American governments are neoextractivist: they promote exploitation of natural resources as central to economic development while acting to mitigate some of the excesses of extractive activity. In the space left open by the neoliberal state in the Salar de Atacama in northern Chile, the mining industry creates its own regulatory mechanisms and provides infrastructure and “improvement” projects to indigenous communities. While these projects gain a degree of consent to water extraction and the value of water for development, indigenous people also resist the neoextractivist project. The contradictions of extractivism-as-development are evident in everyday life and articulated in ritual and cultural practice. We take the example of a ritual and work event, the limpia de canales (canal cleaning), to narrate something of local responses to neoextractivist conditions. Los gobiernos latinoamericanos son neoextractivistas: promueven la explotación de los recursos naturales como elemento central del desarrollo económico y al mismo tiempo actúan para mitigar algunos de los excesos de la actividad extractiva. En el espacio abandonado por el estado neoliberal en el Salar de Atacama en el norte de Chile, la industria minera crea sus propios mecanismos regulatorios y proporciona infraestructura y proyectos de “mejora” a las comunidades indígenas. Si bien estos proyectos obtienen un grado de consentimiento para la extracción de agua y el valor del agua para el desarrollo, los pueblos indígenas también se resisten al proyecto neoextractivista. Las contradicciones del extractivismo como desarrollo son evidentes en la vida cotidiana y se articulan en la práctica ritual y cultural. Tomamos el ejemplo de un evento ritual y laboral, la limpia de canales, para narrar algo de las respuestas locales a las condiciones neoextractivistas.
Severe first infusion reaction related to cetuximab in cancer patients in Arkansas
Authors: Atwal Dinesh , Safar Ahmed Mazin , Govindarajan Rang , Makhoul Issam 
Published: June 2018

Introduction Cetuximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody, is a commonly used anticancer drug that prevents binding of epidermal growth factor to epidermal growth factor receptor. It has been widely used in a variety of cancers since its initial approval by the FDA in 2004. Despite its efficacy, it has met with some genuine concerns especially regarding the anaphylactoid reactions occurring after first infusions. Cetuximab-related first infusion reaction has been found to be much more prevalent in the Southeastern United States with several studies from the southern United States supporting it. The purpose of our study was to determine the rate of first infusion reaction in the state of Arkansas and the factors that could predispose to first infusion reaction. Methods and results We performed a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients who received cetuximab between January 2004 and December 2016 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. We included a total of 220 patients in our analysis out of which 32 (14.5%) developed cetuximab-related first infusion reaction. There was a statistically significant increased risk in males versus females (18.2% vs. 8.4%, P = 0.045) and trend toward significance for the difference between Caucasians and Blacks (16.5% vs. 7.1%, P = 0.054). Conclusion There is increased incidence of cetuximab-related first infusion reaction in Arkansas which is much higher than the national average but comparable to the incidence in other neighboring states in the Southeastern United States. This increased incidence tends to cluster in Caucasian males. Safer alternatives should be preferred for treatment of cancers particularly in the Southeastern United States whenever possible.
A Qualitative Study of Turning Points or Aha! Moments in Older Adults’ Discussions About Organ Donation
Authors: Downing Kimberly , Jones Linda L. 
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Older adults (50-70 years old) have lower organ donor registration rates than younger adults. Older adults have different informational needs and donor registration behavior than younger age groups. Objective: The objective of this qualitative study was to understand insights of older adults about organ donation to effectively address the barriers to becoming an organ donor. This study identified turning points as “Aha!” moments that occurred during a dialogue intervention where older adults discussed benefits, barriers, and process to organ donation. Setting and Participants: Dialogues were held with small groups of older adults in 11 communities in a Midwestern organ procurement organization service area. Participants were positive to organ donation, but not registered as an organ donor. Methods/Approach: Qualitative analysis of verbatim comments from the dialogue and a follow-up survey were used to examine turning points or “Aha!” moments of participants’ decision-making about organ donation and organ donor registration. Findings: Twenty-one separate in-depth dialogues were conducted with 198 participants, with mean age of 60.57 years. There were 2757 separate comments coded with 465 of the comments (17%) identified as providing Aha! moments during the dialogue. Three themes include benefits of organ donation (30%), barriers about organ donation (39%), and organ donation process (31%). Discussion: The research identified moments in the dialogue where possible learning about organ donation may have occurred. After participation in the dialogue process, there was an increase in intent to register to be an organ donor, organ donation discussion with family and friends, and organ donor registration.

Published: June 2018

Background: Few studies have evaluated continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) not using injectable therapy. CGM is useful for investigating hypoglycemia and glycemic variability, which is associated with complications in T2DM. Methods: A CGM substudy of Individualized treatMent aPproach for oldER patIents in a randomized trial in type 2 diabetes Mellitus (IMPERIUM)) was conducted. Patients were vulnerable (moderately ill and/or frail) older (≥65 years) individuals with suboptimally controlled T2DM. Strategy A comprised glucose-dependent therapies (n = 26) with a nonsulfonylurea oral antihyperglycemic medication (OAM) and a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist as the first injectable. Strategy B comprised non-glucose-dependent therapies (n = 21) with sulfonylurea as the preferred OAM and insulin glargine as the first injectable. Primary endpoints were duration and percentage of time spent with blood glucose (BG) ≤70 mg/dL over 24 hours at week 24. Results: Duration and percentage of time spent with hypoglycemia at ≤70 mg/dL were similar for Strategy A and Strategy B; glycemic control improved similarly in both arms (LSM change in HbA1c at week 24; A = −1.2%, B = −1.4%). Duration and percentage time spent with euglycemia and hyperglycemia were also similar in both arms. However, Strategy A was associated with lower within-day (21.1 ± 1.2 vs 25.1 ± 1.4, P = .046) and between-day (5.4 ± 1.0 vs 9.1 ± 1.3, P = .038) BG variability (coefficient of variance [LSM ± SE]) at week 24. Conclusions: This CGM substudy in older patients with T2DM showed lower within- and between-day BG variability with glucose-dependent therapies but similar HbA1c reductions and hypoglycemia duration with glucose-independent strategies.

Background and objectiveDespite intensive colonoscopic surveillance, a substantial proportion of Lynch syndrome (LS) patients develop colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to characterize incident CRC in LS patients.MethodsAll patients diagnosed with incident CRC after start of colonoscopic surveillance were identified in the Dutch LS Registry of 905 patients. A retrospective analysis of patient records was carried out for patient characteristics, survival, CRC characteristics and findings of previous colonoscopy.ResultsSeventy‐one patients (7.8%) were diagnosed with incident CRC. Median interval between incident CRC diagnosis and previous colonoscopy was 23.8 (range 6.7–45.6) months. Median tumor diameter was 2.5 cm, and 17% of the tumors were sessile or flat. Most patients (83%) had no lymph node metastases. There was no association between tumor size and colonoscopy interval or lymph node status. Most patients (65%) had no adenomas during previous colonoscopy. Two patients (2.8%) eventually died from metastatic CRC.ConclusionThe high frequency of incident CRC in LS likely results from several factors. Our findings lend support to the hypothesis of fast conversion of adenomas to CRC, as 65% of patients had no report of polyps during previous colonoscopy. High‐quality colonoscopies are essential, especially as tumors and adenomas are difficult to detect because of their frequent non‐polypoid appearance. Early detection due to surveillance as well as the indolent growth of CRC, as demonstrated by the lack of lymph node metastases, contributes to the excellent survival observed.
