Published: June 2017

Abstract
The inference of internal properties of the Sun from surface measurements of wave travel times is the goal of time–distance helioseismology. A critical step toward the accurate interpretation of shifts in travel time is the computation of sensitivity functions linking seismic measurements to internal structure. Here we calculate finite-frequency sensitivity kernels in spherical geometry for two-point measurements of travel time. We numerically build Green’s function by solving for it at each frequency and each degree of spherical harmonic and summing over all these pieces. These computations are performed in parallel (“embarrassingly”), thereby achieving significant speedup in wall-clock time. Kernels are calculated by invoking the first-order Born approximation connecting deviations in the wave field to perturbations in the operator. Validated flow kernels are shown to produce travel times within 0.47% of the true value for uniform flows up to

. We find that travel time can be obtained with errors of 1 ms or less for flows having magnitudes similar to meridional circulation. Alongside flows, we also compute and validate a sensitivity kernel for perturbations in sound speed. These accurate sensitivity kernels might improve the current inferences of subsurface flows significantly.

Abstract
We present the results from an extensive spectroscopic survey of the central region of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 2199 (A2199) at z = 0.03. By combining 775 new redshifts from the MMT/Hectospec observations with the data in the literature, we construct a large sample of 1624 galaxies with measured redshifts at

, which results in high spectroscopic completeness at

(77%). We use these data to study the kinematics and clustering of galaxies, focusing on the comparison with those of the intracluster medium (ICM) from Suzaku X-ray observations. We identify 406 member galaxies of A2199 at

using the caustic technique. The velocity dispersion profile of cluster members appears smoothly connected to the stellar velocity dispersion profile of the cD galaxy. The luminosity function is well fitted with a Schechter function at

. The radial velocities of cluster galaxies generally agree well with those of the ICM, but there are some regions where the velocity difference between the two is about a few hundred kilometers per second. The cluster galaxies show a hint of global rotation at

with

, but the ICM in the same region does not show such rotation. We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the cluster galaxy sample at

and identify 32 group candidates, and examine the spatial correlation between the galaxy groups and X-ray emission. This extensive survey in the central region of A2199 provides an important basis for future studies of interplay among the galaxies, the ICM, and the dark matter in the cluster.

Abstract
We present the results of a deep Chandra observation of the X-ray bright moderate-cooling flow group NGC 5044 along with the observed correlations between the ionized, atomic, and molecular gas in this system. The Chandra observation shows that the central AGN has undergone two outbursts in the past 108 years, based on the presence of two pairs of nearly bipolar X-ray cavities. The molecular gas and dust within the central 2 kpc is aligned with the orientation of the inner pair of bipolar X-ray cavities, suggesting that the most recent AGN outburst had a dynamical impact on the molecular gas. NGC 5044 also hosts many X-ray filaments within the central 8 kpc, but there are no obvious connections between the X-ray and Hα filaments and the more extended X-ray cavities that were inflated during the prior AGN outburst. Using the line width of the blended Fe-L line complex as a diagnostic for multiphase gas, we find that the majority of the multiphase thermally unstable gas in NGC 5044 is confined within the X-ray filaments. While the cooling time and entropy of the gas within the X-ray filaments are very similar, not all filaments show evidence of gas cooling or an association with Hα emission. We suggest that the various observed properties of the X-ray filaments are suggestive of an evolutionary sequence where thermally unstable gas begins to cool, becomes multiphased, develops Hα emitting plasma, and finally produces cold gas.

Objective.To delineate urine biomarkers that forecast response to therapy of lupus nephritis (LN).Methods.Starting from the time of kidney biopsy, patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus who were diagnosed with LN were studied serially. Levels of 15 biomarkers were measured in random spot urine samples, including adiponectin, α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), ceruloplasmin, hemopexin, hepcidin, kidney injury molecule 1, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, lipocalin-like prostaglandin D synthase (LPGDS), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), transferrin, and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP).Results.Among 87 patients (mean age 15.6 yrs) with LN, there were 37 treatment responders and 50 nonresponders based on the American College of Rheumatology criteria. At the time of kidney biopsy, levels of TGF-β (p < 0.0001) and ceruloplasmin (p = 0.006) were significantly lower among responders than nonresponders; less pronounced differences were present for AGP, hepcidin, LPGDS, transferrin, and VDBP (all p < 0.05). By Month 3, responders experienced marked decreases of adiponectin, AGP, transferrin, and VDBP (all p < 0.01) and mean levels of these biomarkers were all outstanding (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve ≥ 0.9) for discriminating responders from nonresponders. Patient demographics and extrarenal disease did not influence differences in biomarker levels between response groups.Conclusion.Low urine levels of TGF-β and ceruloplasmin at baseline and marked reduction of AGP, LPGDS, transferrin, or VDBP and combinations of other select biomarkers by Month 3 are outstanding predictors for achieving remission of LN. If confirmed, these results can be used to help personalize LN therapy.

A partir de deux vignettes cliniques, nous observons les diverses étapes qui vont donner sens à la réouverture du fonctionnement psychique vers des potentialités du féminin et du masculin. Au-delà du choix de l’objet, l’enfant met à l’épreuve et expérimente son pouvoir de destructivité face à un environnement qui se doit de rester indestructible, afin de passer de la relation de l’objet à l’usage de l’objet. La qualité du plaisir dans la rencontre va contribuer à l’organisation de l’altérité sans confusion entre un miroir de soi et un autre. Mais face à la mort du père, comment construire ces identifications croisées sans représailles ? Toute l’élaboration au-delà du genre défini est de construire une bisexualité psychique pour à travers elle, conserver son identité. L’investissement de l’imaginaire dans la cure restaure les objets internes comme aussi le miroir transférentiel alimenté par le travail d’écriture enrichi les potentialités.
IMPORTÂNCIA DO CONHECIMENTO DO CIRURGIÃO DENTISTA SOBRE PRESSÃO ARTERIAL, FATORES MODIFICADORES E COMPLICAÇÕES SISTÊMICAS DURANTE ATENDIMENTO CIRÚRGICO

Published: June 2017

O sistema circulatório é um sistema fechado de tubos onde circulam o sangue e a linfa. A ação de bomba do coração faz com que a pressão arterial (PA) aumente e diminua à medida que o sangue circula. A PA pode sofrer descompensações manifestando um quadro de hipertensão arterial (HA), desenvolvendo possíveis doenças cardiovasculares podendo ser diagnosticada por meio da aferição dos níveis pressóricos, pelo método indireto ou técnica auscultatória. Esse estudo teve como objetivo esclarecer o nível de conhecimento de alguns profissionais que atuam na cidade de Maringá-PR nas áreas de Implantodontia e Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco-Maxilo-Facial sobre PA. Após um levantamento realizado junto ao Conselho Regional de Odontologia, a amostra foi submetida ao questionário contendo 12 questões objetivas e discursivas. Os resultados indicaram que a maioria dos cirurgiões avaliados aferem a pressão arterial antes de procedimentos cirúrgicos e utilizam anestésicos como mepivacaína 3% sem vasoconstritor e prilocaína + felipressina 3% com vasoconstritor. Além disso, os participantes restringem o atendimento odontológico em pacientes com PA acima de 140 x 90 mmHg. Conclui-se que os profissionais avaliados apresentaram nível razoável de conhecimento a cerca do atendimento ao paciente hipertenso.

Published: June 2017

Background This paper presents a case study of an automated clinical laboratory in a large urban academic teaching hospital in the North of Italy, the Spedali Civili in Brescia, where four laboratories were merged in a unique laboratory through the introduction of laboratory automation. Materials and Methods The analysis compares the preautomation situation and the new setting from a cost perspective, by considering direct and indirect costs. It also presents an analysis of the turnaround time (TAT). The study considers equipment, staff and indirect costs. Results The introduction of automation led to a slight increase in equipment costs which is highly compensated by a remarkable decrease in staff costs. Consequently, total costs decreased by 12.55%. The analysis of the TAT shows an improvement of nonemergency exams while emergency exams are still validated within the maximum time imposed by the hospital. Conclusions The strategy adopted by the management, which was based on re-using the available equipment and staff when merging the pre-existing laboratories, has reached its goal: introducing automation while minimizing the costs.
Proximal epithelioid sarcomatous dedifferentiation in secondary chondrosarcoma in a known case of multiple osteochondromatosis

Published: June 2017

AbstractOsteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor. Approximately 15% of osteochondromas occur as multiple lesions. Multiple osteochondromatosis has a higher risk of developing chondrosarcomas, which are of low grade with good prognosis. About 10% of all chondrosarcomas may undergo dedifferentiated change, which has a poorer prognosis. Dedifferentiated peripheral chondrosarcoma developing within an osteochondroma is extremely rare. Dedifferentiation usually occurs in the form of osteosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma. We report a case of proximal epithelioid sarcomatous dedifferentiation in secondary chondrosarcoma in a 39-year-old male with multiple osteochondromatosis in bilateral arm. To the best of our knowledge, epithelioid sarcomatous dedifferentiation has not been described in the literature.
Utility of a novel chromogenic medium as a screening method in the detection of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae
Authors: Chaturvedi Anusha , Banashankari Gunjiganur Shankarappa 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: With the emergence of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bugs, there is an urgent need for rapid detection of these resistant organisms.
AIM: This study was performed to assess the utility of a novel chromogenic medium in the detection of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae from various clinical specimens.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 202 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, which were resistant to meropenem (10 μg) disc by standard disc diffusion method, were analyzed over a period of 6 months. These isolates were subjected to the modified Hodge test (MHT) and inoculated onto the chromogenic medium. Following which the results were analyzed.
RESULTS: It was observed that 76.73% of the Enterobacteriaceae gave a positive result on the MHT, 18.31% were negative and 4.95% gave indeterminate result. While 88.11% produced growth on the chromogenic medium, 6.93% yielded no growth and 4.95% gave variable results. Concordance in the results of the two tests was found to be 65.34%.
CONCLUSION: Enterobacteriaceae are emerging to be carbapenem resistant and are responsible for the soaring rates of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs), especially among critically ill patients. Hence, early detection of the same is important in controlling HAIs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) in general and blaNDM-1 in particular. It also aimed at evaluating clinical characteristics and outcome in patients infected with MBLs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 116 carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (CRGNB) were evaluated in the study. These CRGNB were tested for MBL production both phenotypically for MBLs and genotypically for blaNDM-1 gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Representative stains of NDM-1 isolates were further sequenced by Triyat Scientific Co., (Nagpur, India).
RESULTS: Among 116 CRGNB Citrobacter species 28 (24.13%) was the most common pathogen. Phenotypically, MHT, imipenem-EDTA (IPM-EDTA) double‑disk synergy test and IPM-EDTA combined disk synergy test (CDST) detected MBL production in 105 (90.51%), 96 (81.03%), and 87 (75%) CRGNB, respectively. However, blaNDM-1 genes were detected in 66 (56.89%) isolates. The prevalence of blaNDM-1 gene was highest among Escherichia coli 26 (100%). Considering PCR as gold standard, it was observed that IMP-EDTA CDST was most specific (78.38%) while MHT was most sensitive (97.47%). Results of blaNDM-1 gene by PCR were further confirmed by sequencing (Triyat genomics, Nagpur). All the 11 representative strains were confirmed to be an NDM-1 gene. The presence of MBLs in our group of patients (non-Intensive Care Unit patients) is a cause for concern. However, on tracing their outcome, it was interesting to note that while the duration of stay lengthened in a large number of patients 112 (96.5%), mortality was relatively low 5 (4.31%).
CONCLUSION: The results of this study provide insight into the prevalence of MBLs, including blaNDM-1, in a tertiary care hospital. Antibiotic stewardship implemented in all seriousness may to a great extent stave off the impending pan-drug resistance. The surprising outcome of our patients suggests either that the bacteria trade off virulence for drug resistance or the relatively robust immune response of non ICU patients fights back.

Published: June 2017

Aims:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of yoga therapy and its influence on blood glucose parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Materials and Method:
This was a prospective study conducted at Diabetes Centre, KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Centre, India, from January 2016 to December 2016. A total of 1000 type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in the study with informed consent. We assessed the patients for pre- and post-assessment blood parameters after a period of 12 months for fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) levels, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cholesterol, and triglycerides. A qualitative in-depth interview of the participants and therapist was conducted at baseline, end of 6 months, and end of 12 months.

Statistical Analysis:
The observations were recorded and analyzed for significance using SPSS version 20.0 statistical tool.

Results:
During pre-assessment, the results revealed an increase in the level of FBS (181.75 ± 71.47), PPBS (262.04 ± 97.23), HbA1c (10.30 ± 5.3), cholesterol (180.13 ± 47.1), and triglycerides (159.77 ± 110.39). However, the participants who completed the yoga therapy had significantly lower FBS (133.01 ± 46.98) (p < 0.0001), PPBS (187.67 ± 68.61) (p < 0.0001), and HbA1c (7.89 ± 1.6) (p < 0.0001) at the end of the 12th month. There was statistically significant positive correlation observed in yoga group as compared to the control group during postassessment blood parameters.

Conclusions:
The results of the present study demonstrated that yoga is effective in reducing the blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our study also showed positive benefits of yoga in the management of diabetes with real impact on glycemic control and lipid profile.
Psychophysiological responses across the menstrual cycle in low fit college women after yoga training
Authors: Bera Tushar Kanti , Shete Sanjay Uddhav , Verma Anita , Sharma Nirmala 
Published: June 2017

Background:
Women of reproductive age suffer from menses-associated health problems such as premenstrual symptoms, menstrual pain, and irregular menstrual cycles. Research has proved that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a psychophysiological and a stress-induced disorder and that stress is a cause of symptoms of PMS.

Objective:
This controlled experiment was conducted with a view to examine the effect of full course of yoga training (suggested by Swami Kuvalayananda) on psychophysiological responses across menstrual cycle in low fit college women.

Methods:
A total of 55 low fit college women, aged 20–30 years, with problems in menstrual cycle, volunteered in this study and were divided randomly into two groups, namely, yoga group (n
1= 27) and control group (n
2= 28). At the baseline and after completion of 12 weeks of yoga training, both the groups were assessed for menstrual status, pain tolerance, resting pulse rate, and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) using standard tools. The yoga group practiced a set of full course of yoga for 1 h daily in the morning (6:30–7:30), 6 days in a week (except Sundays and holidays), for a total period of 12 weeks, whereas the control group did not participate in the said yoga program but were involved in some recreational activities and/or library reading during the tenure of experiment.

Results:
The result of factorial ANOVA followed by Scheffe's post hoc test indicates that yoga training could bring down pulse rate (CD = 0.43, p < 0.05) and blood pressure (CD = 0.47, p < 0.01) at a normal range, whereas it could bring a statistically significant improvement in the symptoms of menstrual problems (CD = 0.45, p < 0.01) and pain tolerance ability (CD = 0.40, p < 0.01).

Conclusion:
Yoga training could contribute to improvement in the psychophysiological responses across menstrual cycle among the low fit college women.
Behind the mirror

Published: June 2017

Abstract
Reflexivity addresses both epistemological issues raised by the implication of the researcher in the production of knowledge and ethical issues that are appropriate for the research process (Finlay, 2002b; Stacey, 1988). This article proposes a reflexive academic knowledge practice that borrows from my own reflexive practice in social outreach work and a reflexive analysis of an ethnographic research process. Doing so, I contribute to a praxis of intersectional reflexivity that valorises identities as embodied and lived by people within particular historical and geopolitical contexts, without reducing them to abstract social categories (Yep, 2015). Through lessons learnt from both reflexive practices, I contribute to the expanding of a reflexive knowledge praxis that stays close to the lived experiences in the field and that takes into account the presence of the researcher and inequalities at play in every stage of the research process, without losing analytical rigor.

Abstract. This paper presents new laboratory measurements of the mass absorption efficiency (MAE) between 375 and 850 nm for 12 individual samples of mineral dust from different source areas worldwide and in two size classes: PM10. 6 (mass fraction of particles of aerodynamic diameter lower than 10.6 µm) and PM2. 5 (mass fraction of particles of aerodynamic diameter lower than 2.5 µm). The experiments were performed in the CESAM simulation chamber using mineral dust generated from natural parent soils and included optical and gravimetric analyses. The results show that the MAE values are lower for the PM10. 6 mass fraction (range 37–135  ×  10−3 m2 g−1 at 375 nm) than for the PM2. 5 (range 95–711  ×  10−3 m2 g−1 at 375 nm) and decrease with increasing wavelength as λ−AAE, where the Ångström absorption exponent (AAE) averages between 3.3 and 3.5, regardless of size. The size independence of AAE suggests that, for a given size distribution, the dust composition did not vary with size for this set of samples. Because of its high atmospheric concentration, light absorption by mineral dust can be competitive with black and brown carbon even during atmospheric transport over heavy polluted regions, when dust concentrations are significantly lower than at emission. The AAE values of mineral dust are higher than for black carbon (∼ 1) but in the same range as light-absorbing organic (brown) carbon. As a result, depending on the environment, there can be some ambiguity in apportioning the aerosol absorption optical depth (AAOD) based on spectral dependence, which is relevant to the development of remote sensing of light-absorbing aerosols and their assimilation in climate models. We suggest that the sample-to-sample variability in our dataset of MAE values is related to regional differences in the mineralogical composition of the parent soils. Particularly in the PM2. 5 fraction, we found a strong linear correlation between the dust light-absorption properties and elemental iron rather than the iron oxide fraction, which could ease the application and the validation of climate models that now start to include the representation of the dust composition, as well as for remote sensing of dust absorption in the UV–vis spectral region.
