The Evolution of Civil War Severity, 1816–2005
Authors: Miranda Luiz C.M. , Perondi Leonel F. , Gleditsch Kristian Skrede 
Published: August 2016

AbstractPrevious analyses of civil war trends tend to be informal and consider only post 1945 data. We examine data on civil wars over the period 1816–2005, using new methods for evolutionary growth processes. We find a number of new patterns and trends in civil war that have received little attention in previous research, including a structural break in frequency of conflict with decolonialization, as well as evidence of periodicity in civil conflict. We develop new measures of civil war intensity and impact, and find that conflicts have been generally more severe in the 20th than in the 19th century. We also find that the frequency-severity distribution of civil war does not appear to follow a power-law distribution, unlike data on many other types of conflict. Although structural trends suggest an increase in future civil wars, we discuss possible limiting factors that might prevent this in light of the recent observed decline in civil wars after the Cold War.

Abstract
An indole alkaloid, 2-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-acetic acid (1) isolated for the first time from nature, in addition to the nine known compounds 5-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2), alocasin B (3), hyrtiosin B (4), α-monopalmitin (5), 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S, 3R, 4E, 8Z)-2-[(2(R)-hydroctadecanoyl) amido]-4,8-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (6), 3-epi-betulinic acid (7), 3-epi-ursolic acid (8), β-sitosterol (9) and β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucoside (10) were isolated from the rhizomes of Alocasia macrorrhiza (Araceae). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Of these compounds, 6 exhibited the strongest cytotoxicity against the four tested human cancer cell lines (IC50 of about 10 µM against Hep-2 larynx cancer cells).

AbstractMutations in the FBXO7 (PARK15) gene have been implicated in a juvenile form of parkinsonism termed parkinsonian pyramidal syndrome (PPS), characterized by Parkinsonian symptoms and pyramidal tract signs. FBXO7 (F‐box protein only 7) is a subunit of the SCF (SKP1/cullin‐1/F‐box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, but its relevance and function in neurons remain to be elucidated. Here, we report that the E3 ligase FBXO7‐SCF binds to and ubiquitinates the proteasomal subunit PSMA2. In addition, we show that FBXO7 is a proteasome‐associated protein involved in proteasome assembly. In FBXO7 knockout mice, we find reduced proteasome activity and early‐onset motor deficits together with premature death. In addition, we demonstrate that NEX (neuronal helix–loop–helix protein‐1)‐Cre‐induced deletion of the FBXO7 gene in forebrain neurons or the loss of FBXO7 in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‐positive neurons results in motor defects, reminiscent of the phenotype in PARK15 patients. Taken together, our study establishes a vital role for FBXO7 in neurons, which is required for proper motor control and accentuates the importance of FBXO7 in proteasome function.

IntroductionAvailable methods, including serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement and whole-body scan (WBS) performed after radioiodine administration, allow for a precise diagnostics in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, some asymptomatic patients demonstrate negative WBS despite a high Tg serum concentration. In these subjects, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) should be considered. The primary aim of our study was to evaluate a diagnostic value of FDG-PET in asymptomatic hyperthyroglobulinemia. The secondary one was to determine a prognostic value of a negative FDG-PET result in DTC patients with elevated Tg level.MaterialOne hundred and ten FDG-PET/CT scans were retrospectively analyzed, 85 scans were done under TSH stimulation and 25 on LT4suppressive therapy. Follow-up ranged between 4 and 9 years.ResultsThe first FDG-PET/CT detected cancer foci in 49 subjects with a global sensitivity of 45%. When the sensitivity was evaluated with reference to TSH stimulation and suppression, its values were 50 and 28% respectively. In 42 patients, FDG-PET failed to diagnose the reason for elevated Tg level. During further follow-up, in 17 of them, DTC recurrence was detected by other methods (CT, MRI, US). Fourteen subjects with asymptomatic hyperthyroglobulinemia were free of DTC progression for at least 4 years.ConclusionsFDG-PET in DTC patients with asymptomatic hyperthyroglobulinemia constitutes a valuable diagnostic tool. Negative FDG-PET demonstrated a limited prognostic significance, as only every third patient did not show DTC progression. Moreover, negative FDG-PET does not justify less strict DTC monitoring, because it is related to 40% risk of relapse during the 5-year follow-up.
Hypothyroidism incidence in and around pregnancy: a Danish nationwide study
Authors: Andersen S L , Carlé A , Olsen J , Laurberg P 
Published: August 2016

Objective
Immunological changes in and after a pregnancy may influence the onset of autoimmune diseases. An increased incidence of hyperthyroidism has been observed both in early pregnancy and postpartum, but it remains to be studied if the incidence of hypothyroidism varies in a similar way.

Design
Population-based cohort study using Danish nationwide registers.

Method
All women who gave birth to a singleton live-born child in Denmark from 1999 to 2008 (n = 403 958) were identified, and data on hospital diagnosis of hypothyroidism and redeemed prescriptions of thyroid hormone were extracted. The overall incidence rate (IR) of hypothyroidism during 1997–2010 and the IR in three-month intervals before, during and after the woman’s first pregnancy in the study period were calculated and compared with the IR of hyperthyroidism.

Results
Altogether 5220 women were identified with onset of hypothyroidism from 1997 to 2010 (overall IR 92.3/100 000/year) and 1572 women developed hypothyroidism in the period from 2 years before to 2 years after birth of the first child in the study period. The incidence of hypothyroidism decreased during the pregnancy (incidence rate ratio (IRR) vs overall IR in the rest of the study period: first trimester: 0.89 (95% CI: 0.66–1.19), second trimester: 0.71 (0.52–0.97), third trimester: 0.29 (0.19–0.45)) and increased after birth with the highest level at 4–6 months postpartum (IRR 3.62 (2.85–4.60)).

Conclusion
These are the first population-based data on the incidence of hypothyroidism in and around pregnancy. The incidence declined during pregnancy followed by a sharp increase postpartum. Notably, hypothyroidism as opposed to hyperthyroidism showed no early pregnancy increase.

Decision Aids Can Support Cancer Clinical Trials Decisions: Results of a Randomized Trial
Authors: Politi Mary C. , Kuzemchak Marie D. , Kaphingst Kimberly A. , Perkins Hannah , Liu Jingxia , Byrne Margaret M. 
Published: August 2016

Abstract

Background.
Cancer patients often do not make informed decisions regarding clinical trial participation. This study evaluated whether a web-based decision aid (DA) could support trial decisions compared with our cancer center’s website.

Methods.
Adults diagnosed with cancer in the past 6 months who had not previously participated in a cancer clinical trial were eligible. Participants were randomized to view the DA or our cancer center’s website (enhanced usual care [UC]). Controlling for whether participants had heard of cancer clinical trials and educational attainment, multivariable linear regression examined group on knowledge, self-efficacy for finding trial information, decisional conflict (values clarity and uncertainty), intent to participate, decision readiness, and trial perceptions.

Results.
Two hundred patients (86%) consented between May 2014 and April 2015. One hundred were randomized to each group. Surveys were completed by 87 in the DA group and 90 in the UC group. DA group participants reported clearer values regarding trial participation than UC group participants reported (least squares [LS] mean = 15.8 vs. 32, p &lt; .0001) and less uncertainty (LS mean = 24.3 vs. 36.4, p = .025). The DA group had higher objective knowledge than the UC group’s (LS mean = 69.8 vs. 55.8, p &lt; .0001). There were no differences between groups in intent to participate.

Conclusions.
Improvements on key decision outcomes including knowledge, self-efficacy, certainty about choice, and values clarity among participants who viewed the DA suggest web-based DAs can support informed decisions about trial participation among cancer patients facing this preference-sensitive choice. Although better informing patients before trial participation could improve retention, more work is needed to examine DA impact on enrollment and retention.

Forty-three-Year Follow-up of Salvage Knee Reconstruction Using the Patella to Replace Lost Tibial Articular Surface
Authors: Scully Thomas J. 
Published: August 2016

Case:
A 19-year-old soldier presented with sudden onset of left knee pain and giving-way while running. Evaluation showed a pathologic fracture through a radiolucent lesion of the tibial metaphysis. Excision of a giant cell tumor of bone entailed removal of much of the lateral tibial articular surface. The joint surface was replaced by transposition of the patella, which was transfixed in position with an ASIF (Association for the Study of Internal Fixation) condylar blade plate. This technique resulted in satisfactory knee function that has persisted for 43 years.

Conclusion:
When excision of a tumor of the tibia results in removal of a substantial portion of the articular surface, the defect can be replaced by transposition of the patella to provide long-lasting satisfactory knee function.
Fertilizer Nitrogen Recovery Efficiency of Furrow‐Irrigated Corn
Authors: Roberts Trenton L. , Slaton Nathan A. , Kelley Jason P. , Greub Chester E. , Fulford Anthony M. 
Published: August 2016

Corn (Zea mays L.) yield under irrigated production systems is influenced by N rate and timing of application. This study was conducted to determine how current N application strategies (two‐way vs. three‐way split application) and N rate (optimal vs. suboptimal) influence fertilizer‐nitrogen recovery efficiency (FNRE) for furrow‐irrigated corn production in the mid‐South. The effects of N rate and application timing on corn FNRE were investigated in Rohwer, AR, on a Herbert silt loam (fine‐silty, mixed, active, thermic Aeric Epiaqualf). Corn grain yield and total‐N uptake were both influenced by the interaction of N treatment and year (p < 0.0001). Corn grain yields were maximized when an optimal‐N rate of 235 kg N ha−1 was applied in a two‐way split application with 50 kg N ha−1 pre‐plant and 185 kg N ha−1 sidedressed at the V6 stage. The ANOVA for FNRE indicated that N treatment was the only significant factor (p < 0.0001) and varied based on N rate and time of application. The lowest FNRE was 61% and occurred when 50 kg N ha−1 was applied pre‐plant. The highest overall FNRE was 91% when 50 kg N ha−1 was applied pre‐tassel in the suboptimal‐N rate treatment. The FNRE of N sidedressed at V6 ranged from 81 to 91% and was influenced by N rate with the suboptimal‐N rate treatments tending to have significantly higher FNRE values. The results presented in this paper highlight the high FNRE that can be achieved in furrow‐irrigated corn production.Core Ideas

Continuous Monitoring of the Vadose Zone Gas Phase by Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Guillon S. , Gréau C. , Pili E. 
Published: August 2016

Core Ideas
Continuous monitoring of vadose gases was performed with a process mass spectrometer.
Large spatial and temporal variability was observed for reactive and inert gases.
Gas dynamics were controlled by water fluxes, O2 depletion, and diffusion.
Long‐term continuous measurements of gas concentrations in the vadose zone are required to identify gas transport processes. A magnetic sector mass spectrometer, originally developed for industrial process monitoring, was deployed in the field, and its performance was assessed for continuous monitoring of vadose zone gases. This instrument allows unattended concentration measurements of a large number of gas species without any purification. With a detection limit on the order of 10 nL L−1, it allows determination of trace gases such as Kr and Xe isotopes at their natural atmospheric abundances. Good precision and accuracy were obtained for major, minor, and trace gases with a daily calibration. Continuous monitoring of vadose zone gases for 6 mo in two boreholes at various depths at the Roselend Natural Laboratory (French Alps) showed strong spatial and temporal variability of gas concentrations, not only O2 and CO2 but also inert gases. Such time series allow determination of transport processes and interactions between water and gas fluxes in the vadose zone.
