Published: July 2017

Abstract
Dietary niches can support the coexistence of closely related sympatric species in marine systems, which can lead to the presence of greater abundances of those species that can potentially support their fisheries or greater abundances for other fish species that prey upon those species. Dietary relationships for three species of gurnard (Family Triglidae) that occur together in the benthic coastal environment of northeastern Tasmania, Australia (Red Gurnard Chelidonichthys kumu, Grooved Gurnard Lepidotrigla modesta, and Roundsnout Gurnard Lepidotrigla mulhalli), were examined for the presence of such dietary niches. The species are either fishery-important (Red Gurnard) or provide prey (Grooved Gurnard and Roundsnout Gurnard) for fishery-important species (e.g., Platycephalidae and Zeidae). Based on stomach content analyses, all three gurnards were shown to be bottom-feeding carnivores that consumed mainly benthic crustaceans, particularly decapods and amphipods, with teleosts also being important in the diets of only the larger Red Gurnard. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling ordination and multivariate analyses based on volumetric contributions of different prey taxa to the stomach contents revealed significant differences in dietary composition among all three species, implying a partitioning of food resources. Size-related and temporal changes in dietary composition were each significant among the three gurnards, but there were no interactions between body size and time. Principal components analysis of head and mouth morphology demonstrated that mouth protrusiveness was the dominant morphological difference among species, which may in part account for the niche partitioning observed from the stomach content analysis. Given the important role of gurnards in benthic food webs, these relationships will improve the specification of ecosystem-based fisheries models and their ability to predict the effects of environmental and anthropogenic perturbations.

Abstract
In order to produce better products and mitigate defect in products, every company must implement a quality control system. Company will find means to implement a quality control system that is capable and reliable. One of the methods is using the simple implementation of the seven tools in quality control defects. The case studied in this research was the level of disability xyz grey fabric on a shuttle loom 2 on the Batik manufacturing company. The seven tools that include: flowchart, check sheet, histogram, scatter diagram combined with control charts, Pareto diagrams and fishbone diagrams (causal diagram). Check sheet results obtained types of defects in the grey fabric was woven xyz is warp, double warp, the warp break, double warp, empty warp, warp tenuous, ugly edges, thick warp, and rust. Based on the analysis of control chart indicates that the process is out of control. This can be seen in the graph control where there is still a lot of outlier data. Based on a scatter diagram shows a positive correlation between the percentage of disability and the number of production. Based on Pareto diagram, repair needs priority is for the dominant type of defect is warp (44%) and based on double warp value histogram is also the highest with a value of 23635.11 m. In addition, based on the analysis of the factors causing defect by fishbone diagram double warp or other types of defects originating from the materials, methods, machines, measurements, man and environment. Thus the company can take to minimize the prevention and repair of defects and improve product quality.
Evaluating the use of the autodiametric method for estimating fecundity of Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, a species with an unusual oocyte development strategy

Abstract
The autodiametric method is a highly streamlined method for estimating fecundity of fish with determinate oocyte development pattern. Greenland halibut presents a peculiar reproductive strategy with two simultaneously cohorts one of large vitellogenic oocytes (for the current year) and another one of small vitellogenic oocytes (for the subsequent year). Results of this study showed that autodiametric method can be applied to estimate fecundity in Greenland halibut. Additionally, spatial differences in the autodiametric calibration curve were observed in the Northwest Atlantic, but did not translate into differences in fecundity at length. This is the first time that spatial differences between ACCs of the same species have been reported, what could be the result of (i) the unusual oocyte development pattern, or (ii) spatial differences in oocyte biochemistry. More research on the relative dynamics of oocyte cohorts simultaneously present in Greenland halibut ovaries and the factors (endo- or exogenous) influencing oocyte packing density could provide a better understanding of observed geographical differences.

Abstract
The Toll family of receptors sense microbial products and activate a defense response. The molecular machinery required for the TLR response is not yet fully understood. In the present study, we used a clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CAS9 screening system to study TLR responses. We employed a cell line expressing TLR with an NF-κB-driven GFP reporter. The cell line was transduced with a guide RNA (gRNA) library and stimulated with TLR ligands. The cells impaired in GFP induction were sorted, and gRNAs were sequenced. Identified genes were ranked according to the count of sequence reads and the number of gRNA target sites. The screening system worked correctly, as molecules that were already known to be required for the TLR response were identified by the screening. Furthermore, this system revealed that the oligosaccharide transferase complex (OSTC) mediating co-translational glycosylation was required for TLR5, 7 and 9 responses. Protein expression of TLR5, but not an irrelevant molecule (CD44), was abolished by the lack of OSTC, suggesting the essential role of glycosylation in TLR5 protein stability. These results demonstrate that the screening system established here is able to reveal molecular mechanisms underlying the TLR response.

Abstract
LS I +61°303 is a γ-ray emitting X-ray binary with periodic radio outbursts with time-scales of one month. Previous observations have revealed microflares superimposed on these large outbursts with periods ranging from a few minutes to hours. This makes LS I +61°303, along with Cyg X-1, the only TeV emitting X-ray binary exhibiting radio microflares. To further investigate this microflaring activity in LS I +61°303 we observed the source with the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope at 4.85, 8.35 and 10.45 GHz, and performed a timing analysis on the obtained data. Radio oscillations of 15 h time-scales are detected at all three frequencies. We also compare the spectral index evolution of radio data to that of the photon index of GeV data observed by Fermi-Large Area Telescope. We conclude that the observed Quasi Periodic Oscillations could result from multiple shocks in a jet.

Abstract
Dr Albert L. Rhoton Jr became the focal point of neurosurgery's evolution in understanding the intricate and complex microanatomy of the human brain over the last 4 decades. His pioneering work on cadaveric specimens proved to be a pivotal endeavor in the pursuit to better understand the complex microsurgical anatomy of cranial surgery. This paper details his early career at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. A comprehensive review and synthesis of data acquired from the institutional historical archives including the Annual Reports to the Executive Committee, the Reports to the Board of Directors, the MAYOVOX Newsletter, the illustration archives of the Mayo Clinic Division of Creative Media, staff biographies, curriculum vitae, personal interviews, as well as full-text journal articles, and book publications was performed. Dr Rhoton was engaged in a busy clinical practice as a young staff at the Mayo Clinic. Records show he focused on tackling complex intracranial pathologies along with numerous basic research and neuroanatomy projects that became a major part of his life's work and passion. He was a great teacher and friend to countless individuals and his work will continue to impact and improve the care provided to neurosurgery patients for generations to come.
Eleanor Davies
Authors: Feroli Teresa 
Published: July 2017

Lady Eleanor Davies (b. 1590–d. 1652), for some twenty-six years following her calling in 1625, identified as a prophet and, as a result, published some sixty-nine tracts, spent years in jail, and made astonishing predictions on subjects ranging from the end of time to the death of her first husband, the poet and lawyer Sir John Davies. Hers was an age of prophecy, and one that featured a significant number of female prophets, but she stands out for her aristocratic lineage—she was the daughter of the eleventh Baron Audley—and her embrace of elements of Puritan and Anglican theology. Stylistically, her writings contain dense webs of scriptural and topical allusions, anagrams, and repeated justifications of authority predicated upon her noble patronymic. By combining scriptural exegesis and cultural commentary, she produced a kind of satire of the follies of her age, which she considered to be nearing the last days. Important milestones in her apocalyptic vision of history included the rise of Parliament and the New Model Army; the execution of the powerful William Laud, the archbishop of Canterbury; and the defeat and execution of Charles I. Likewise, she attributed cosmic significance to the events of her own life, in particular her tribulations as a prophet, her difficulties regaining inherited properties after being widowed, and her outrage over the execution in 1631 of her brother Mervin, Earl of Castlehaven, on charges of rape and sodomy. Certain that the last days approached, she offered her readers, after the early Christian but heterodox theologian Origen, the comforting promise of universal redemption. Beyond her writings, Lady Eleanor is known for her acts of civil disobedience. In 1633, unable to obtain a license to publish her pamphlets in England, she traveled to Amsterdam and found a willing printer. She returned and distributed her publication, for which she was sentenced to prison. She was jailed again in late 1636 or early 1637 for occupying the bishop’s throne at Litchfield Cathedral and declaring herself the primate. For this latter action, she gained a reputation for madness in her own day and in early scholarship. She married twice: first to Davies, with whom she had three children, and then to Sir Archibald Douglas. She outlived both men. Her only surviving child, Lucy, penned a moving epitaph upon Lady Eleanor’s death at the age of sixty-two.
Jewish Art, Ancient
Authors: Meyer Mati 
Published: July 2017

The present article considers the visual material of the Jewish world from biblical times through the early Byzantine era in Palestine and the Diaspora that has been unearthed in archaeological excavations. It addresses art historical and visual cultural aspects of especially prominent monuments and artifacts. Historiographic interest in the subject can be traced back to the late 19th century, but it attracted real scholarly attention only at the turn of the 20th century, much later than the start of the art history field. The prevailing view of Jewish art at the time was essentially twofold: Jews were artless, and if art existed it was mostly aniconic. This perception changed with important disparate events and discoveries of Jewish monuments concomitantly with the firm establishment of the discipline: the discovery of synagogue remains in the Galilee; the Jewish catacombs in Rome (1918); Israelite palaces at Megiddo dating from the 8th and 9th centuries bce (1920s–1930s); the synagogue mosaics at Na’aran (1919) and at Beth Alpha (1928), both in Palestine; the ancient synagogue and its murals in Dura-Europos in Syria (1923–1933); and the necropolis at Beth She’arim in Palestine (1936). These and many other archaeological sites and findings and the studies of Palestinian archaeologists such as Eleazar L. Sukenik, Ancient Synagogues in Palestine and Greece (1934), served to discredit the aniconic approach attributed to Jews and the notion of a nonexistent Jewish art. Jewish artistic creation was expressed primarily in synagogal and funereal architecture and related visual media, and to a lesser extent in civic architecture and its decoration. Although it always maintained its distinct character, Jewish art absorbed the influences of the surrounding cultures, especially during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The periodization utilized for this article does not necessarily match that of the neighboring cultures: the “Israelite” or “Biblical” era, which ended with the Babylonian conquest and the destruction of the First Temple (967–586 bce), where the archaeological findings are very sparse except for magical bowls; the Second Temple period (536 bce–63 ce) and the Hasmonean period (164 bce–63 bce), when the finds multiply, showing a distinct aniconism but no evidence of figural arts; the Roman period (63 bce–324) when Jewish art reflects an interest in Roman visual aesthetics but not in its iconography; and the early Byzantine period (324–615), which attests to a return to figural presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, all dates refer to ce.
Postdischarge Outcomes of Pyogenic Liver Abscesses: Single-Center Experience 2007–2012
Authors: Gallagher Megan C , Andrews Mary-Margaret 
Published: July 2017

AbstractBackgroundPyogenic liver abscesses (PLA) are increasingly managed by percutaneous treatment instead of surgery, but there are limited data about postdischarge outcomes. Postdischarge services and factors predicting poor outcomes have not been described.MethodsWe performed a retrospective, descriptive case series at a single center assessing treatment and outpatient follow-up for patients treated for PLA from 2007 to 2012. We reviewed the electronic medical record for patient characteristics and outcomes. Data for care received at other facilities were not available. In our analysis, we compared patients with malignancy with those without and attempted to determine predictors of emergency department (ED) visits and hospital readmissions.ResultsOf 125 patients identified with PLA, 12 had surgical drainage, 23 had percutaneous aspiration, 78 had percutaneous drainage (PD), 11 had no drainage, and 1 was made comfort measures only. Seventy (60%) were discharged with a drain, and 31 (25%) were discharged on intravenous (IV) antibiotics. After discharge, 46 (38%) had ED visits and 36 (30%) were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Fourteen (12%) had complications from antibiotics, and 4 (13%) had complications from peripherally inserted center catheter lines. A total of 8 patients, 5 in-hospital and 3 postdischarge, died. In our analysis of risk factors for 90-day postdischarge ED visit/readmission, only malignancy was a predictor.ConclusionsPyogenic liver abscess patients have intense postdischarge needs (drain management, IV antibiotics) and a high rate of ED visits and readmissions. Although PD provides source control without surgery, ambulatory needs are now more complex, requiring multidisciplinary collaboration.

Abstract

Background
Studies of sexual partnerships can further our understanding of the sexual transmission of chlamydia, which is important for informing public health interventions and clinical management. The aim of this study was to ascertain among heterosexual dyads the proportion concordantly infected with chlamydia and factors associated with infection between partners.

Methods
This study was conducted at the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre between January 2006 and March 2015. Heterosexual partners attending the clinic on the same day were identified prospectively. Dyads where 1 or both individuals were diagnosed with chlamydia by a test performed on the day of joint attendance or within the prior 30 days were included. Testing was by strand displacement assay. Men and women with genital symptoms underwent clinical examination.

Results
Of 233 females with chlamydia, 76% (n = 178) of their male partners tested positive. Of the chlamydia-positive females with cervicitis, 91% of males were chlamydia positive. Male infection was less likely if their partner had taken azithromycin or doxycycline within 30 days (7% vs 25%; P = .039). Of 235 males with chlamydia, 77% (n = 178) of their female partners tested positive. No associations were found between male symptoms, signs, or recent antibiotic use and a positive chlamydia result in female partners. Sixty-one percent of the dyads were concordantly infected with chlamydia.

Conclusions
These results underscore the high likelihood of heterosexual partners of men and women with chlamydia being infected and the importance that partners are tested and managed appropriately for chlamydia.
Recurrence of Granular Corneal Dystrophy Type 1 After Phototherapeutic Keratectomy, Lamellar Keratoplasty, and Penetrating Keratoplasty in a Single Population
Authors: Lewis Darrell R. , Price Marianne O. , Feng Matthew T. , Price Francis W. 
Published: July 2017

Purpose:
To describe the recurrence of granular corneal dystrophy type 1 (GCD1) after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), and phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) in a single population. The time required to achieve best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after each intervention was also analyzed.

Methods:
Retrospective review of all patients with GCD1 from a single center between 1989 and 2016. Surgical interventions were performed 50 times on 28 eyes of 15 patients. Data were primarily analyzed through Cox regression modeling with clustering and robust log-rank testing.

Results:
Significant recurrence occurred most rapidly after PTK (median time 2.7 years) and was most delayed after PKP (13.7 years). Significant recurrence occurred at a similar interval after ALK and DALK (3.7 and 3.2 years, respectively). Significant recurrence-free survival was longer for PKP than for ALK, DALK, or PTK (P = 0.04). The time required to obtain BCVA was shorter in the PTK group (median 1.8 months) than in the PKP and DALK groups (median 5.3 and 8.4 months, respectively; P = 0.03 and P = 0.02). All groups achieved a similar median BCVA (20/25–20/30).

Conclusions:
This series indicates that GCD1 recurrence-free survival is longest after PKP with an associated delay in attaining BCVA. Conversely, PTK provided the fastest visual recovery with shorter recurrence-free survival.

Published: July 2017

Purpose:
To analyze the complications and subsequent type and frequency of oculoplastic surgeries after enucleation in adult patients.

Methods:
The authors conducted a retrospective case note review of adult patients who underwent enucleation followed by placement of an alloplastic implant wrapped in donor sclera between 2001 and 2013. The data collected included patient demographics, surgical indication, implant size, postoperative complications, and subsequent oculoplastic surgical procedures.

Results:
The authors included 186 patients who underwent enucleation during the study period. Malignancy was the leading cause for this operation (79.6%) followed by a blind painful eye (12.4%). Most postoperative complications were managed conservatively with an adjustment of the size of the ocular prosthesis. In most cases, the 20-mm and 22-mm implants were used, and implant size ranged from 16 to 22 mm. There was no correlation between implant size and complication rate. Twenty-six patients required subsequent surgery after enucleation (14%). In total, 9.7% (18 patients of 186) patients underwent eyelid surgery after enucleation, most frequently for blepharoptosis (7%). The interval between enucleation and eyelid surgeries was, on average, 1.9 years. Less frequently, surgery is needed for socket repair for anterior surface breakdown (1.6%), and the interval between enucleation and socket surgery was 0.9 years.

Conclusions:
The most frequent complications following enucleation were blepharoptosis and enophthalmos with a deep upper eyelid sulcus. About 15% of patients required subsequent oculoplastic procedures after, on average, 2 years, while surgery in the early postoperative phase was rarely indicated.
Effect of Socioeconomic Status on Surgery Waiting Times and Mortality After Hip Fractures in Italy
Authors: Petrelli Alessio , De Luca Giuliana , Landriscina Tania , Costa Giuseppe , Gnavi Roberto 
Published: July 2017

Background:
Reducing inequities is a main goal of the Italian healthcare system. We evaluated socioeconomic differences in delayed surgery and postoperative mortality after a hip replacement after a fracture in Piedmont Region (Italy).

Methods:
Cohort study including all people aged ≥65 years hospitalized for a hip fracture in 2007–2010 (n = 21,432). Study outcomes were the following: (1) surgery waiting times >2 days; (2) 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year mortality from admission. Log-binomial models were used to evaluate the effect of socioeconomic status on waiting time, adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, biennium, and Local Health Unit. Logistic models were fitted for mortality, adjusting also for the type of intervention (prosthesis/reduction) and waiting time.

Results:
Seventy percent of surgeries were performed beyond 2 days from admission; 30-day mortality was 4.1%, 90-day was 10.8%, and 1-year was 21.9%. Lower socioeconomic levels were associated with higher risk of waiting >2 days (Adjusted Relative Risk: 1.14) and higher odds for 90-day (Adjusted Odds Ratio: 1.18) and 1-year (Adjusted OR: 1.27) mortality.

Conclusions:
We found socioeconomic inequities in access to hip replacement and postoperative outcomes. Strengthening the connection between hospital, primary care and rehabilitation services, improving regional monitoring systems and taking into account quality of care in funding health system, may contribute to guarantee uniform levels of healthcare quality in Italy.
