Authors: Nieth Jennifer , Wehrend Axel 
Published: August 2019

Zusammenfassung
Ziel Die Studie hatte zum Ziel, einen systematischen, standardisierten
Untersuchungsgang für die Abdominalsonografie beim neonatalen Fohlen
vorzustellen und die physiologischen topografischen Verhältnisse einiger
Abdominalorgane und -strukturen zu beschreiben.
Material und Methode Bei 57 neonatalen Fohlen erfolgte eine
standardisierte sonografische Untersuchung des Abdomens in rechter und linker
Seitenlage unter Evaluierung der folgenden Körperabschnitte: alle
Interkostalräume bei der Körperhälften sowie ventrales Abdomen, unterteilt in 6
Segmente (links, mittig und rechts kranial sowie links, mittig und rechts
kaudal). Für jedes Organ wurden die Lokalisationen dokumentiert, an denen es
darstellbar war. Zudem wurden 10 tote Fohlen sonografisch untersucht und danach
seziert, um die Topografie der Organe zu überprüfen.
Ergebnisse Es konnte ein systematischer Untersuchungsgang des Abdomens
beim neugeborenen Fohlen erarbeitet und die Ausdehnung einiger abdominaler
Organe beschrieben werden. Die Nabelvene ist im mittleren kranialen
Abdominalsegment lokalisiert, der Urachus im mittleren kaudalen Segment. Die
Nabelarterien finden sich in ihrem Anfangsbereich im mittleren kaudalen Segment
und zweigen sich jeweils ins linke bzw. rechte Segment auf. Die Blase ist ein
lagekonstantes Organ im kaudalen Abdomen, das sich je nach Füllungszustand vom
mittleren kaudalen bis ins linke und rechte kaudale Segment erstreckt. Die
rechte Niere kann zwischen dem 15. und 17. Interkostalraum (IKR) dargestellt
werden, die linke im 16. und 17. IKR. Die Milz zeigt eine Lagekonstanz zwischen
dem linken 10.–16. IKR und stellt sich häufig im linken kranialen
Abdominalsegment dar. Die Leber befindet sich im rechten und mittleren kranialen
Abdomen sowie rechts zwischen 6. und 17. IKR und links im 7. IKR, der Magen im
linken und mittleren Segment und linksseitig zwischen 9. und 11. IKR. Das
Duodenum weist eine Lagekonstanz für den rechten 12. IKR auf. Das Jejunum lässt
sich oft in den linken kaudalen sowie im vorderen und hinteren mittleren
Abdominalsegment darstellen. Die Darstellung des Zäkums gelingt zwischen 15. IKR
und Fossa paralumbalis der rechten Körperseite, die des Kolons vor allem im
mittleren kaudalen Abdomen sowie in den beiden rechten Abdominalsegmenten.
Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz Durch eine systematische
sonografische Untersuchung des Abdomens lassen sich beim neonatalen Fohlen die
wichtigsten Abdominalorgane darstellen.

Beim Sommerekzem handelt es sich um eine IgE-vermittelte Dermatitis infolge
einer allergischen Reaktion auf den Speichel stechender Insekten (z. B.
Culicoides spp.). Bis zu 50 % der aus Island nach Kontinentaleuropa
importierten Tiere erkranken, dagegen nur 3–10 % der auf dem Festland
geborenen Isländer. In Island gibt es die Erkrankung nicht, da die
verursachenden Gnitzen dort nicht vorkommen. Hat eine Sensibilisierung
gegenüber dem Speichel stattgefunden, treten nach Stichen weiterer Insekten
häufig allergische Reaktionen auf. Dies gilt beispielsweise für
Kriebelmücken (Simulium spp.), die auch in Island endemisch sind. Die Studie
sollte klären, ob in Island heimische Pferde gegenüber S. vittatum
sensibilisiert sind und inwieweit sich mit einem Assay vorhersagen lässt, ob
bei in die Schweiz importierten Pferden ein Sommerekzem auftreten
wird.

Lumbar Spine Injuries: Primary Prevention in Amateur and Professional Golf Players
Sir,We read with interest the article by Goebel et al. 1 (Goebel D, Drollinger F, Drollinger A. Lumbar Spine Injuries: Primary Prevention in Amateur and Professional Golf Players. Sports Med Int Open. 2018; 2:179–184). We have been deeply interested in this sport and delved on the musings of competitiveness causing athletes to put un-natural strains on their bodies and vice-versa. While we do understand the cause of Lumbar spine injuries caused by athletes putting undue stress on their bodies, we need to understand that the reason for the same.

Published: August 2019

Background In a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial with parallel groups, the efficacy of individually prescribed homeopathic medicines was evaluated in women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Methods In an outpatient department of a university clinic in Jerusalem, Israel (1996–1999), women with PMS, aged 18 to 50 years, entered a 2-month screening phase with prospective daily recording of premenstrual symptoms by the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ). They were included after being diagnosed with PMS. A reproducible treatment protocol was used: women received a homeopathic prescription based on symptom clusters identified in a questionnaire. The symptoms were verified during a complementary, structured, interview. Only women whose symptoms matched the symptom profile of one of 14 pre-selected homeopathic medicines were included. Each participant was administered active medicine or placebo via random allocation. Primary outcome measures were differences in changes in mean daily premenstrual symptom (PM) scores by the MDQ. Analysis was by intention-to-treat.
Results A total of 105 women were included: 49 were randomized to active medicine and 56 to placebo. Forty-three women in the active medicine group and 53 in the placebo group received the allocated intervention with at least one follow-up measurement and their data were analyzed. Significantly greater improvement of mean PM scores was measured in the active medicine group (0.443 [standard deviation, SD, 0.32] to 0.287 [SD, 0.20]) compared to placebo (0.426 [SD, 0.34] to 0.340 [SD, 0.39]); p = 0.043.
Conclusions Individually prescribed homeopathic medicines were associated with significantly greater improvement of PM scores in women with PMS, compared to placebo. Replication, with larger sample size and other refinements, is recommended to confirm the efficacy of this treatment in other settings.

AbstractDiffuse-type pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare benign disease that causes disorders of the knee, including erosion of subchondral bone and cyst formation, with eventual osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of synovectomy and total knee replacement in patients with the diffuse type of pigmented villonodular synovitis. From November 2011 to May 2015, we performed synovectomy and total knee replacement in 28 patients with diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis diagnosed on the basis of histopathology of biopsy specimens. Clinical data were collected perioperatively and during follow-up for evaluation of surgical efficacy. No intraoperative complications were encountered. Mean operative duration was 73.4 minutes (range: 47–115 minutes); mean estimated blood loss was 223.9 mL (range: 50–600 mL). The mean duration of follow-up was 58.7 months (range: 36–84 months). Mean range of motion improved from 86.1 ± 11.3 degrees (range: 60–100 degrees) to 107 ± 11.4 degrees (range: 90–130 degrees). Average Knee Society clinical scores improved from 38.9 ± 9.5 (range: 17–54) to 84.4 ± 6.1 (range: 75–98); functional scores improved from 48.9 ± 13.1 (range: 25–80) to 84.6 ± 6.1 (range: 75–95; p < 0.05 for both). Postoperative radiographs showed no signs of prosthesis loosening, periprosthetic fractures, or dislocation. The short-term efficacy of synovectomy and total knee replacement in treating patients with diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis was satisfactory.
Oil and aid revenue produce equal demands for accountability as taxes in Ghana and Uganda

Published: August 2019

Significance
People ought to care more about how the government spends their taxes compared with oil or foreign aid revenues. Yet, in developing countries, obfuscation by value-added taxes and citizens’ feelings of ownership over all public revenues may equalize distinctions. Four experiments in Ghana and Uganda conducted on citizens and members of parliament indicate no significant differences between taxes, aid, and oil in perceptions that the revenues will provide public goods or leak to corruption. All revenue types equally motivate citizens to demand accountability, prompting reevaluation of the claim that taxes promote greater political action. Citizens do see meaningful differences for aid delivered through nongovernmental organizations, suggesting that the channel of funds matters for accountability.
Collocation analysis of news discourse and its ideological implications

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This study investigates the use of an ethnic term in news discourse from linguistic, discursive, and
social-cultural aspects. A more rigorous computational procedure than hitherto used is employed to measure the collocational
strength of collocates in news corpora. The results indicate diversified distributions of the collocates regarding their
frequency, distance, and semantic connections. The findings enhance the meaning specificity of the term by revealing the
characterized reference of this ethnic group, the trends in the choice of news topics, and the ideological representation of this
ethnic group in a wider social-cultural context. The findings deepen an understanding of news discourse as the representations of
the minority ethnicity in the news media are analyzed through three layers – the linguistic, the discursive, and the
social-cultural context. A more precise method of analyzing news texts uncovers ideological effects brought about by media, in
turn implying different construal of newsworthiness in news discourse.
Sociological formation and reception of translation
Authors: Xu Minhui , Yu Jing 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This study draws on Bourdieu’s conceptualization of the international circulation of ideas to examine the sociological formation process of a translation. Taking the translated Chinese novel Border Town as an example, this study investigates the three phases of that process: selection; labeling and classification; and reading and reception. It discovers that the first two phases have created favorable conditions for the reception of the translated novel, but the translation was not well received. This article argues that the reception of a translation depends on the success of every phase of the sociological formation process. The reception of a translation is constructed and consecrated through the joint efforts of different agents in each phase. Only through a holistic sociological consideration of the dynamics of the formation process can we reach a real understanding of the reception of a translated work.
Analyzing translation and interpreting textbooks
Authors: Li Xiangdong 
Published: August 2019

AbstractTextbooks are a significant source of knowledge and a major factor in shaping teaching and learning; however, textbook analysis has been a neglected area of research. This pilot study examines the coverage of business interpreting competences and their pedagogical treatment in thirty-two business interpreting textbooks. Two analysis frameworks, on business interpreting expertise and pedagogical expertise, were developed. The results indicate that most competences are weakly present in the textbooks and that most pedagogical principles are not well applied. This inadequacy has two potential consequences: (1) students may leave the classroom ill-equipped and form biased views of the profession, by considering topics well-covered in the textbooks as important and legitimate while seeing others as unimportant and (2) students may not be adequately assisted in internalizing and acquiring competences efficiently. This study has implications for translation and interpreting textbook analysis, adaptation, and development.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The accumulation of the contemporary surface dirt and dust sediments is an important problem of an urban area. The surface dirt sediment is deposited on the various surfaces both inside and outside the residential blocks. The sediment represents the secondary and nonpoint pollution source due to the presence of the environmental toxicants, heavy metals and pathogens in their content. The aim of the study was to determine the mineral phase composition of surface sediment in the city of Ekaterinburg in order to identify the sources of its origin. The 60 samples of surface sediment were collected in summer at the different parts of residential blocks (traffic ways, sidewalks and lawns, inner yard area, parking lots, and green areas). The sediment samples were fractionated by the particle size fractions: 0.002-0.01 mm, 0.01-0.05 mm, 0.05-0.1 mm, 0.1-0.25 mm, 0.25-1 mm and >1 mm. The particle size fractions were analysed by X-ray diffraction. According to the results of analysis the investigated mineral composition of the surface sediments represent the complex multi-phase mixtures, similar in mineral composition (quartz, microcline, plagioclase, magnetite, chlorite etc.). The sources of the mineral component in the surface sediment were identified.

AbstractTracking spatiotemporal changes in GHG emissions is key to successful implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). And while emission inventories often provide a robust tool to track emission trends at the country level, subnational emission estimates are often not reported or reports vary in robustness as the estimates are often dependent on the spatial modeling approach and ancillary data used to disaggregate the emission inventories. Assessing the errors and uncertainties of the subnational emission estimates is fundamentally challenging due to the lack of physical measurements at the subnational level. To begin addressing the current performance of modeled gridded CO2emissions, this study compares two common proxies used to disaggregate CO2emission estimates. We use a known gridded CO2model based on satellite-observed nighttime light (NTL) data (Open Source Data Inventory for Anthropogenic CO2, ODIAC) and a gridded population dataset driven by a set of ancillary geospatial data. We examine the association at multiple spatial scales of these two datasets for three countries in Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and characterize the spatiotemporal similarities and differences for 2000, 2005, and 2010. We specifically highlight areas of potential uncertainty in the ODIAC model, which relies on the single use of NTL data for disaggregation of the non-point emissions estimates. Results show, over time, how a NTL-based emissions disaggregation tends to concentrate CO2estimates in different ways than population-based estimates at the subnational level. We discuss important considerations in the disconnect between the two modeled datasets and argue that the spatial differences between data products can be useful to identify areas affected by the errors and uncertainties associated with the NTL-based downscaling in a region with uneven urbanization rates.
Rural Food Markets and Child Nutrition

Published: August 2019

AbstractChild dietary diversity is poor in much of rural Africa and developing Asia, prompting significant efforts to leverage agriculture to improve diets. However, growing recognition that even very poor rural households rely on markets to satisfy their demand for nutrient‐rich non‐staple foods warrants a much better understanding of how rural markets vary in their diversity, competitiveness, frequency and food affordability, and how such characteristics are associated with diets. This article addresses these questions using data from rural Ethiopia. Deploying a novel market survey in conjunction with an information‐rich household survey, we find that children in proximity to markets that sell more non‐staple food groups have more diverse diets. However, the association is small in absolute terms; moving from three non‐staple food groups in the market to six is associated with an increase in the number of non‐staple food groups consumed by ∼0.27 and the likelihood of consumption of any non‐staple food group by 10 percentage points. These associations are similar in magnitude to those describing the relationship between dietary diversity and household production diversity; moreover, for some food groups, notably dairy, we find that household and community production of that food is especially important. These modest associations may reflect several specific features of our sample which is situated in very poor, food‐insecure localities where even the relatively better off are poor in absolute terms and where, by international standards, relative prices for non‐staple foods are very high.

Published: August 2019

Abstract

Objective
A reduction in lexical access is observed in normal aging and a few studies also showed that this ability is affected in individuals with subjective cognitive decline. Lexical access is also affected very early in mild cognitive impairment as well as in major neurocognitive disorders. The detection of word-finding difficulties in the earliest stages of pathological aging is particularly difficult because symptoms are often subtle or mild. Therefore, mild anomia is underdiagnosed, mainly due to the lack of sensitivity of naming tests. In this article, we present the TDQ-30, a new picture-naming test designed to detect mild word-finding deficits in adults and elderly people.

Method
The article comprises three studies aiming at the development of the test (Study 1), the establishment of its validity and reliability (Study 2), and finally, the production of normative data for French-speaking adults and elderly people from Quebec (Study 3).

Results
The results showed that the TDQ-30 has good convergent validity. Also, the TDQ-30 distinguished the performance of healthy controls from those of participants with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, and post-stroke aphasia. This suggests good discriminant validity. Finally, this study provides normative data computed from a study sample composed of 227 participants aged 50 years and over.

Conclusions
The TDQ-30 has the potential to become a valuable picture-naming test for the diagnosis of mild anomia associated with pathological aging.

AbstractMotivationRecent advances in the areas of bioinformatics and chemogenomics are poised to accelerate the discovery of small molecule regulators of cell development. Combining large genomics and molecular data sources with powerful deep learning techniques has the potential to revolutionize predictive biology. In this study, we present Deep gene COmpound Profiler (DeepCOP), a deep learning based model that can predict gene regulating effects of low-molecular weight compounds. This model can be used for direct identification of a drug candidate causing a desired gene expression response, without utilizing any information on its interactions with protein target(s).ResultsIn this study, we successfully combined molecular fingerprint descriptors and gene descriptors (derived from gene ontology terms) to train deep neural networks that predict differential gene regulation endpoints collected in LINCS database. We achieved 10-fold cross-validation RAUC scores of and above 0.80, as well as enrichment factors of &gt;5. We validated our models using an external RNA-Seq dataset generated in-house that described the effect of three potent antiandrogens (with different modes of action) on gene expression in LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. The results of this pilot study demonstrate that deep learning models can effectively synergize molecular and genomic descriptors and can be used to screen for novel drug candidates with the desired effect on gene expression. We anticipate that such models can find a broad use in developing novel cancer therapeutics and can facilitate precision oncology efforts.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
Partition: a surjective mapping approach for dimensionality reduction
Authors: Millstein Joshua , Battaglin Francesca , Barrett Malcolm , Cao Shu , Zhang Wu , Stintzing Sebastian , Heinemann Volker , Lenz Heinz-Josef 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Motivation
Large amounts of information generated by genomic technologies are accompanied by statistical and computational challenges due to redundancy, badly behaved data and noise. Dimensionality reduction (DR) methods have been developed to mitigate these challenges. However, many approaches are not scalable to large dimensions or result in excessive information loss.

Results
The proposed approach partitions data into subsets of related features and summarizes each into one and only one new feature, thus defining a surjective mapping. A constraint on information loss determines the size of the reduced dataset. Simulation studies demonstrate that when multiple related features are associated with a response, this approach can substantially increase the number of true associations detected as compared to principal components analysis, non-negative matrix factorization or no DR. This increase in true discoveries is explained both by a reduced multiple-testing challenge and a reduction in extraneous noise. In an application to real data collected from metastatic colorectal cancer tumors, more associations between gene expression features and progression free survival and response to treatment were detected in the reduced than in the full untransformed dataset.
