Impact of Magnesium L-Lactate on Occurrence of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Authors: Baker William L , Kluger Jeffrey , Coleman Craig I , White C Michael 
Published: November 2015

Background:We evaluated the antiarrhythmic efficacy and quality of life (QoL) impact of oral magnesium Llactate on patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).Methods:This prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial randomized 70 patients with an ICD to receive oral magnesium L-lactate 3 tablets twice daily (504mg elemental magnesium daily) or matching placebo for 12 months. Patients were seen at baseline, 12, 24, 36, and 52 weeks. The primary endpoints were the cumulative occurrence of ICD therapy [either shock or anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP)] or QoL between the groups.Results:Among the 70 randomized patients with a mean ± SD follow-up of 6.4 ± 4.1 months, 10 patients in the placebo group and 8 in the magnesium group experienced either ICD shock or ATP [HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.33 to 2.12; p=0.706]. Without significant arrhythmia suppression, only minimal effects on QoL were seen. Eighty six percent of all patients had serum intracellular magnesium deficiency.Conclusion:In our underpowered trial, patients with ICDs had intracellular magnesium deficiency but oral magnesium Llactate only nonsignificantly reduced the occurrence of ICD therapies and had little impact on HrQoL.
Inter and intra-reader variability in the threshold estimation of auditory brainstem response (ABR) results
Authors: Zaitoun Maha , Cumming Steven , Purcell Alison , O’brien Katie 
Published: November 2015

Objective:
This study aims to examine inter- and intra- reader variability in the ability to estimate hearing threshold through the interpretation of ABR waves of infants. The investigation is based on a large random sample of Australian audiologists.

Study design:
Sixty-one audiologists were presented with ABR tracings from 15 infants under 12 weeks old. In order to assess inter-rater variability, all cases were presented to all audiologists twice in the same session. Audiologists were asked to nominate a hearing threshold for each of the cases, based purely on their visual judgment of waveforms, and were also asked to answer a brief questionnaire about their experience in ABR testing.

Results:
Audiologists showed high levels of consistency in reading ABR results. The average inter-reader agreement score was 0.873 and the average intra-reader agreement score was 0.879. Our data show that audiologists’ years of experience in ABR testing significantly correlated with their intra-reader agreement scores (p= 0.004).

Conclusion:
Audiologists showed a good level of inter- and intra-reader-agreement in ABR interpretation. Years of experience in ABR testing were the main factor that contributed to audiologists’ high intra-rater agreement. Therefore, experience in ABR testing is essential in enhancing the outcome of ABR testing and lowering potential misdiagnosis rates.

Abstract
The potentials of incoherent X-ray scattering (Compton) computed tomography (CT) are investigated. The imaging of materials of very different atomic number or density at once is generally a perpetual challenge for X-ray tomography or radiography. In a basic laboratory set-up for simultaneous perpendicular Compton scattering and direct beam attenuation tomography are conducted by single channel photon counting line scans. This results in asymmetric distortions of the projection profiles of the scattering CT data set. In a first approach, corrections of Compton scattering data by taking advantage of rotational symmetry yield tomograms without major geometric artefacts. A cylindrical sample composed of PE, PA, PVC, glass and wood demonstrates similar Compton contrast for all the substances, while the conventional absorption tomogram only reveals the two high order materials. Comparison to neutron tomography reveals astonishing similarities except for the glass component (without hydrogen). Therefore, Compton CT offers the potential to replace neutron tomography, which requires much more efforts.
On the prediction of long term creep strength of creep resistant steels
Authors: Yang Mi , Wang Qiao , Song Xin-Li , Jia Juan , Xiang Zhi-Dong 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
When the conventional power law creep equation is applied to rationalise the creep data of creep resistant steels, its parameters depend strongly on stress and temperature and hence cannot be used to predict long term creep properties. Here, it is shown that this problem can be resolved if it is modified to satisfy two boundary conditions, i. e. when σ (stress) = 0,

ε
˙

min

${\dot \varepsilon _{{\rm{min}}}}$

(minimum creep rate) = 0, and when σ = σTS (tensile stress at creep temperature T),

ε
˙

min

${\dot \varepsilon _{{\rm{min}}}}$

= ∞. This can be achieved by substituting the reference stress σ0 in the conventional equation by the term (σTS – σ). The new power law creep equation describing the stress and temperature dependence of minimum creep rate can then be applied to predict long term creep strength from data of short term measurements. This is demonstrated using the creep and tensile strength data measured for 11Cr-2W-0.4Mo-1Cu-Nb-V steel (tube).

<p class="Abstract">In the present study, the effect of cucurbitacin B and cerulenin combination on osteosarcoma was investigated to develop an effective treatment regimen. The IC<sub>50 </sub>values of cerulenin and cucurbitacin B combination in the proportion of 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 were 3.5, 7.2 and 8.6 μg/mL, respectively. The combination index (CI) values of &lt;0.95 for inhibition of growth and &lt;0.93 for inhibition of SENP5 expression clearly indicated synergism between the two. The Q-value for combination of 1 μg/mL cerulenin and 1 μg/mL cucurbitacin B was 1.2. AI calculated for tumor tissues treated with a combination of cucurbitacin B and cerulenin (26.2 ± 8.4%) was higher than that of the tissues treated separately with cucurbitacin B (14.5 ± 6.8%) or cerulenin (12.6 ± 7.5%). The AI for untreated tumor tissues was 4.2 ± 1.5%. Thus, the combination of cucurbitacin B and cerulenin can be a promising regimen in the treatment of osteosarcoma.</p>

Abstract
Calprotectin, a heterodimer of S100A8 and S100A9, is an abundant neutrophil protein that possesses antimicrobial activity primarily because of its ability to chelate zinc and manganese. In the current study, we showed that neutrophils from calprotectin-deficient S100A9−/− mice have an impaired ability to inhibit Aspergillus fumigatus hyphal growth in vitro and in infected corneas in a murine model of fungal keratitis; however, the ability to inhibit hyphal growth was restored in S100A9−/− mice by injecting recombinant calprotectin. Furthermore, using recombinant calprotectin with mutations in either the Zn and Mn binding sites or the Mn binding site alone, we show that both zinc and manganese binding are necessary for calprotectin’s antihyphal activity. In contrast to hyphae, we found no role for neutrophil calprotectin in uptake or killing of intracellular A. fumigatus conidia either in vitro or in a murine model of pulmonary aspergillosis. We also found that an A. fumigatus ∆zafA mutant, which demonstrates deficient zinc transport, exhibits impaired growth in infected corneas and following incubation with neutrophils or calprotectin in vitro as compared with wild-type. Collectively, these studies demonstrate a novel stage-specific susceptibility of A. fumigatus to zinc and manganese chelation by neutrophil-derived calprotectin.

Published: November 2015

ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the prevalence and the impact of depressive disorders in primary health care and its associated factors. Methodology: It's a cross-sectional study with 351 participants selected from Moroccan primary care facilities, aged above 18 years without chronic somatic or psychiatric disease. The participants answered a questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for major depressive episode (MDE), dysthymic disorder and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). Statistical analysis was performed by the SPSS 13.0 software. Results: The prevalence of depressive disorders in the sample was 13.7%, that of MDE was 9.1%, while dysthymic disorder was 4.3%, the rate of recurrent depressive episodes was 38.2% (6% of participants), and the prevalence of depression over a lifetime was 17.7%. The percentage of depression was higher among women than men (P = 0.01). 6.3% of depressed patients have already attempted to suicide. Analysis of GAF scores showed an average of 76.2 ± 24, a lower score was significantly found among patients with current MDE (P = 0.001), dysthymic subjects (P = 0.001) and those who suffer from recurrent MDE (P = 0.001). Depressive disorders in univariate analysis were associated with: Female gender P = 0.01 odds ratio (OR) 2.1 (1.09–4.3), unemployment P = 0.02 OR 0.4 (0.2–0.9), and childbearing age P = 0.004 OR 3.5 (1.5–8). Adjusted OR has not demonstrated a significant association. Conclusion: The high prevalence of depressive disorders, suicide risk, and the alteration of the quality of life among primary health care patients in Morocco suggest the importance of identifying and treating this population.

ABSTRACTCentral nervous system (CNS) involvement is a known complication of scrub typhus which range from mild meningitis to frank meninigoencephalitis. Aims and objectives: To study the clinical feature, laboratory parameters and response to treatment of scrub typhus meningitis/meningoencephalitis. Methods and Materials: This is a hospital based prospective observational study from North Eastern India. Diagnosis was based on clinical features and positive serological test (Weil's Felix test and IgM antibody card test). Results: 13 patients of scrub typhus with features of meningitis/meningoencephalitis were included. The mean duration of fever before presentation was 5.61±3.08 days and 4 (30.76 %) patients had eschar. Altered sensorium, headache, seizure and meningeal sign were present in 13 (100%), 13 (100%), 6 (46.15%) and 10 (76.92%) patients respectively. Mean CSF protein, glucose and Adenosine deaminase was 152.16±16.88mg/dl, 55.23±21.7mg/dl, and 16.98±7.37U/L respectively. Mean total count of CSF leukocyte and lymphocyte percentage was 46.07±131 cell/cumm and 98.66±3.09% respectively. Tablet doxycycline with or without injection azithromycin was used and that shows good response 15.38% of patients died and all of them had multi organ dysfunction. Conclusion: Meningoencephalitis is a common manifestation of scrub typhus and diagnosis requires high degree of clinical suspicion which if diagnosed early and specific treatment started, patients usually recover completely with few complications.
Conceptual Frameworks and Practical Applications to Connect Generations in the Technoscape
Authors: Kaplan Matthew , Sánchez Mariano , Bradley Leah 
Published: November 2015

There are many ways to frame and use technology so it functions as a pathway to intergenerational engagement. The ever evolving technoscape is filled with powerful technological tools and resources that help people connect, communicate, build relationships, and take collective action across generations. This technology can be life-altering, especially for isolated seniors and families navigating long distance relationships. However, at the center of the intervention equation is not the technology itself, but the quest for tapping into the relationship-enhancing potential of the technology. To explore this potential, an international survey was conducted with 46 intergenerational programs that reflect innovation and intensive uses of technology. Results demonstrate that important strides are being made in utilizing new technology for effectively connecting generations and positively affecting aging adults’ lives.

Southern Ocean isopycnal mixing and ventilation changes driven by winds
Authors: Abernathey Ryan , Ferreira David 
Published: November 2015

AbstractObserved and predicted changes in the strength of the westerly winds blowing over the Southern Ocean have motivated a number of studies on the response of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation (MOC) to wind perturbations and led to the hypothesis of the “eddy compensation” regime, wherein the MOC becomes insensitive to wind changes. In addition to the MOC, tracer transport also depends on mixing processes. Here we show, in a high‐resolution process model, that isopycnal mixing by mesoscale eddies is strongly dependent on the wind strength. This dependence can be explained by mixing length theory and is driven by increases in eddy kinetic energy; the mixing length does not change strongly in our simulation. Simulation of a passive ventilation tracer (analogous to CFCs or anthropogenic CO2) demonstrates that variations in tracer uptake across experiments are dominated by changes in isopycnal mixing, rather than changes in the MOC. We argue that to properly understand tracer uptake under different wind‐forcing scenarios, the sensitivity of isopycnal mixing to winds must be accounted for.
Interannual variability of the Indonesian Throughflow transport: A revisit based on 30 year expendable bathythermograph data
Authors: Liu Qin‐Yan , Feng Ming , Wang Dongxiao , Wijffels Susan 
Published: November 2015

AbstractBased on 30 year repeated expendable bathythermograph (XBT) deployments between Fremantle, Western Australia, and the Sunda Strait, Indonesia, from 1984 to 2013, interannual variability of geostrophic transport of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) and its relationships with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are investigated. The IOD induced coastal Kelvin waves propagate along the Sumatra‐Java coast of Indonesia, and ENSO induced coastal Kelvin waves propagate along the northwest coast of Australia, both influencing interannual variations of the ITF transport. The ITF geostrophic transport is stronger during La Niña phase and weaker during El Niño phase, with the Niño3.4 index leading the ITF variability by 7 months. The Indian Ocean wind variability associated with the IOD to a certain extent offset the Pacific ENSO influences on the ITF geostrophic transport during the developing and mature phases of El Niño and La Niña, due to the covarying IOD variability with ENSO. The ITF geostrophic transport experiences a strengthening trend of about 1 Sv every 10 years over the study period, which is mostly due to a response to the strengthening of the trade winds in the Pacific during the climate change hiatus period. Decadal variations of the temperature‐salinity relationships need to be considered when estimating the geostrophic transport of the ITF using XBT data.
Impact of four‐dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) on urban climate analysis

Published: November 2015

AbstractThis study investigates the impact of four‐dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) on urban climate analysis, which employs the NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) WRF (the weather research and forecasting model) based on climate FDDA (CFDDA) technology to develop an urban‐scale microclimatology database for the Shenzhen area, a rapidly developing metropolitan located along the southern coast of China, where uniquely high‐density observations, including ultrahigh‐resolution surface AWS (automatic weather station) network, radio sounding, wind profilers, radiometers, and other weather observation platforms, have been installed. CFDDA is an innovative dynamical downscaling regional climate analysis system that assimilates diverse regional observations; and has been employed to produce a 5 year multiscale high‐resolution microclimate analysis by assimilating high‐density observations at Shenzhen area. The CFDDA system was configured with four nested‐grid domains at grid sizes of 27, 9, 3, and 1 km, respectively. This research evaluates the impact of assimilating high‐resolution observation data on reproducing the refining features of urban‐scale circulations. Two experiments were conducted with a 5 year run using CFSR (climate forecast system reanalysis) as boundary and initial conditions: one with CFDDA and the other without. The comparisons of these two experiments with observations indicate that CFDDA greatly reduces the model analysis error and is able to realistically analyze the microscale features such as urban‐rural‐coastal circulation, land/sea breezes, and local‐hilly terrain thermal circulations. It is demonstrated that the urbanization can produce 2.5 k differences in 2 m temperatures, delays/speeds up the land/sea breeze development, and interacts with local mountain‐valley circulations.
Solar radiation as a global driver of hillslope asymmetry: Insights from an ecogeomorphic landscape evolution model
Authors: Yetemen Omer , Istanbulluoglu Erkan , Duvall Alison R. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractObservations at the field, catchment, and continental scales across a range of arid and semiarid climates and latitudes reveal aspect‐controlled patterns in soil properties, vegetation types, ecohydrologic fluxes, and hillslope morphology. Although the global distribution of solar radiation on earth's surface and its implications on vegetation dynamics are well documented, we know little about how variation of solar radiation across latitudes influence landscape evolution and resulting geomorphic difference. Here, we used a landscape evolution model that couples the continuity equations for water, sediment, and aboveground vegetation biomass at each model element in order to explore the controls of latitude and mean annual precipitation (MAP) on the development of hillslope asymmetry (HA). In our model, asymmetric hillslopes emerged from the competition between soil creep and vegetation‐modulated fluvial transport, driven by spatial distribution of solar radiation. Latitude was a primary driver of HA because of its effects on the global distribution of solar radiation. In the Northern Hemisphere, north‐facing slopes (NFS), which support more vegetation cover and have lower transport efficiency, get steeper toward the North Pole while south‐facing slopes (SFS) get gentler. In the Southern Hemisphere, the patterns are reversed and SFS get steeper toward the South Pole. For any given latitude, MAP is found to have minor control on HA. Our results underscore the potential influence of solar radiation as a global control on the development of asymmetric hillslopes in fluvial landscapes.
