Published: September 2014

A Cirurgia Bariátrica (CB) é um método de tratamento da obesidade que vem recebendo destaque principalmente devido aos resultados positivos no tratamento das comorbidades associados ao excesso de peso. No entanto, esse tipo de intervenção necessita de uma fase de adaptação e mudanças de estilo de vida principalmente devido a complicações pós-cirúrgicas relacionadas à deficiência de algumas vitaminas e minerais. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do estudo foi associar o perfil antropométrico, composição corporal e tempo desde a realização da CB com a adesão a comportamentos alimentares saudáveis de pacientes submetidos a esse procedimento. Estudo do tipo transversal realizado com 98 pacientes submetidos ao bypass gástrico em Y de Roux. Foram avaliados peso, estatura, circunferência da cintura (CC) e quadril, massa de gordura, massa muscular esquelética e o comportamento alimentar por meio do questionário Bariatric Surgery Self-management Questionnaire Seven, que possui 7 domínios referentes ao comportamento alimentar (CA), à ingestão de fluidos (IF), à atividade física (AF), à gestão da síndrome de dumping (GSD), à admissão de suplementos (AS), ao consumo de frutas, vegetais e grãos integrais (CFVGI) e à ingestão de proteínas (IP). Foi verificada associação entre adesão total dos comportamentos alimentares, CFVGI, IP com o estado nutricional e CC após a CB. Observamos também menor peso, IMC e CC e menor % e quantidade de gordura em pacientes que apresentaram boa adesão nesses domínios. Nos domínios, CA, IF e AF os pacientes com menor tempo após a realização da CB apresentaram melhor adesão a esses comportamentos. Os sujeitos mais jovens apresentaram maior adesão à AF comparados aos mais velhos. Em conclusão, a adesão aos comportamentos alimentares após a CB se associou com o estado nutricional e CC, bem como com o tempo após a realização à CB. Sugere-se a realização de estudos que proponham modelos de intervenção para o melhor controle e manutenção dos comportamentos alimentares dos pacientes submetidos a esse procedimento.

Rationale
:

Holt–Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant heart-hand syndrome caused by mutations in the
TBX5
gene. Overexpression of Tbx5 in the chick proepicardial organ impaired coronary blood vessel formation. However, the potential activity of Tbx5 in the epicardium itself, and the role of Tbx5 in mammalian coronary vasculogenesis, remains largely unknown.

Objective
:

To evaluate the consequences of altered
Tbx5
gene dosage during proepicardial organ and epicardial development in the embryonic chick and mouse.

Methods and Results
:

Retroviral-mediated knockdown or upregulation of Tbx5 expression in the embryonic chick proepicardial organ and proepicardial-specific deletion of
Tbx5
in the embryonic mouse (
Tbx5
epi-/
) impaired normal proepicardial organ cell development, inhibited epicardial and coronary blood vessel formation, and altered developmental gene expression. The generation of epicardial-derived cells and their migration into the myocardium were impaired between embryonic day (E) 13.5 to 15.5 in mutant hearts because of delayed epicardial attachment to the myocardium and subepicardial accumulation of epicardial-derived cells. This caused defective coronary vasculogenesis associated with impaired vascular smooth muscle cell recruitment and reduced invasion of cardiac fibroblasts and endothelial cells into myocardium. In contrast to wild-type hearts that exhibited an elaborate ventricular vascular network,
Tbx5
epi-/-
hearts displayed a marked decrease in vascular density that was associated with myocardial hypoxia as exemplified by hypoxia inducible factor-1α upregulation and increased binding of hypoxyprobe-1.
Tbx5
epi-/-
mice with such myocardial hypoxia exhibited reduced exercise capacity when compared with wild-type mice.

Conclusions:
Our findings support a conserved Tbx5 dose-dependent requirement for both proepicardial and epicardial progenitor cell development in chick and in mouse coronary vascular formation.
Alternating Proximal Regularized Dictionary Learning
Authors: Salzo Saverio , Masecchia Salvatore , Verri Alessandro , Barla Annalisa 
Published: September 2014

We present an algorithm for dictionary learning that is based on the alternating proximal algorithm studied by Attouch, Bolte, Redont, and Soubeyran ( 2010 ), coupled with a reliable and efficient dual algorithm for computation of the related proximity operators. This algorithm is suitable for a general dictionary learning model composed of a Bregman-type data fit term that accounts for the goodness of the representation and several convex penalization terms on the coefficients and atoms, explaining the prior knowledge at hand. As Attouch et al. recently proved, an alternating proximal scheme ensures better convergence properties than the simpler alternating minimization. We take care of the issue of inexactness in the computation of the involved proximity operators, giving a sound stopping criterion for the dual inner algorithm, which keeps under control the related errors, unavoidable for such a complex penalty terms, providing ultimately an overall effective procedure. Thanks to the generality of the proposed framework, we give an application in the context of genome-wide data understanding, revising the model proposed by Nowak, Hastie, Pollack, and Tibshirani ( 2011 ). The aim is to extract latent features (atoms) and perform segmentation on array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data. We improve several important aspects that increase the quality and interpretability of the results. We show the effectiveness of the proposed model with two experiments on synthetic data, which highlight the enhancements over the original model.
Studies of Madagascan Ptiliidae (Coleoptera) 3: The genus Acrotrichis including twenty seven new species
Authors: DARBY BY MICHAEL 
Published: September 2014

This is the third report detailing Ptiliidae collected from forest leaf litter by the Moravian Museum (Brno, Czech Republic) expeditions to Madagascar 2010–2013. After completion of the first draft, which identified 16 new species, more Madagsacan Acrotrichis, collected at earlier dates, were found in the Natural History Museum in London (BMNH). These included 17 unpublished new species determined by Colin Johnson in 1969, 7 of which proved to be the same as those in the Czech material. The decision was taken, therefore, to broaden the scope of the report to include all the mounted Madagascan material in the Museum and to use Johnson’s ms names to avoid potential future confusion. 27 new species are described and figured: Acrotrichis absona sp. n.; A. barclayi sp. n.; A. bibula sp. n.; A. boothi sp. n.; A. clareae sp. n.; A. colini sp. n.; A. cuspida sp. n.; A. difficilis sp. n.; A. exigua sp. n.; A. hammondi sp. n.; A. heissi sp. n.; A. hova sp. n.; A. impressa sp. n.; A. lacrimosa sp. n.; A. lauta sp. n.; A. loganovi sp. n.; A. magnifica sp. n.; A. malitiosa sp. n.; A. obscura sp. n.; A. perexigua sp. n.; A. perfida sp. n.; A. strenua sp. n.; A. subafricana sp. n.; A. tampoketsae sp. n.; A. terminalis sp. n.; A. truncata sp. n. and A. tuberosa sp. n., and new data recorded for six others: a. africana Johnson, A. africanoides Johnson, A. cursitans (Nietner), A. discoloroides Johnson, A. minuscula Johnson, and A. superbioides Johnson. New criteria for assessing speciation in Acrotrichis are suggested, the definition of subgenera discussed and a key to all the known species from the island provided.

Abstract
While a quantitative climate theory of tropical cyclone formation remains elusive, considerable progress has been made recently in our ability to simulate tropical cyclone climatologies and to understand the relationship between climate and tropical cyclone formation. Climate models are now able to simulate a realistic rate of global tropical cyclone formation, although simulation of the Atlantic tropical cyclone climatology remains challenging unless horizontal resolutions finer than 50 km are employed. This article summarizes published research from the idealized experiments of the Hurricane Working Group of U.S. Climate and Ocean: Variability, Predictability and Change (CLIVAR). This work, combined with results from other model simulations, has strengthened relationships between tropical cyclone formation rates and climate variables such as midtropospheric vertical velocity, with decreased climatological vertical velocities leading to decreased tropical cyclone formation. Systematic differences are shown between experiments in which only sea surface temperature is increased compared with experiments where only atmospheric carbon dioxide is increased. Experiments where only carbon dioxide is increased are more likely to demonstrate a decrease in tropical cyclone numbers, similar to the decreases simulated by many climate models for a future, warmer climate. Experiments where the two effects are combined also show decreases in numbers, but these tend to be less for models that demonstrate a strong tropical cyclone response to increased sea surface temperatures. Further experiments are proposed that may improve our understanding of the relationship between climate and tropical cyclone formation, including experiments with two-way interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere and variations in atmospheric aerosols.
Inertial Motion Viewed from a Potential Well
Authors: Phillips Norman 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
The motion of a mass undergoing free horizontal motion on a planet’s surface is analyzed in an inertial frame by using a potential well presentation. The following results from the conventional analysis in rotating coordinates are also found in inertial coordinates. Under typical circumstances the mass oscillates about the latitude where its angular momentum per unit mass matches that of the planet’s surface. For masses with nonzero angular momentum, conservation of angular momentum bounds the mass away from the pole. Motion with zero angular momentum is confined to a fixed meridian plane on which the mass may oscillate across the pole. Motion across the equator is possible only for masses with sufficient energy. Masses with angular momentum per unit mass greater than that of the planet at the equator oscillate about the equator with a limiting period determined by the excess angular momentum.
Observed Southern Ocean Cloud Properties and Shortwave Reflection. Part II: Phase Changes and Low Cloud Feedback*
Authors: McCoy Daniel T. , Hartmann Dennis L. , Grosvenor Daniel P. 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
Climate models produce an increase in cloud optical depth in midlatitudes associated with climate warming, but the magnitude of this increase and its impact on reflected solar radiation vary from model to model. Transition from ice to liquid in midlatitude clouds is thought to be one mechanism for producing increased cloud optical depth. Here observations of cloud properties are used from a suite of remote sensing instruments to estimate the effect of conversion of ice to liquid associated with warming on reflected solar radiation in the latitude band from 40° to 60°S. The calculated increase in upwelling shortwave radiation (SW↑) is found to be important and of comparable magnitude to the increase in SW↑ associated with warming-induced increases of optical depth in climate models. The region where the authors' estimate increases SW↑ extends farther equatorward than the region where optical depth increases with warming in models. This difference is likely caused by other mechanisms at work in the models but is also sensitive to the amount of ice present in climate models and its susceptibility to warming.
The Impact of Finite-Amplitude Bottom Topography on Internal Wave Generation in the Southern Ocean

Published: September 2014

Abstract
Direct observations in the Southern Ocean report enhanced internal wave activity and turbulence in a kilometer-thick layer above rough bottom topography collocated with the deep-reaching fronts of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Linear theory, corrected for finite-amplitude topography based on idealized, two-dimensional numerical simulations, has been recently used to estimate the global distribution of internal wave generation by oceanic currents and eddies. The global estimate shows that the topographic wave generation is a significant sink of energy for geostrophic flows and a source of energy for turbulent mixing in the deep ocean. However, comparison with recent observations from the Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean shows that the linear theory predictions and idealized two-dimensional simulations grossly overestimate the observed levels of turbulent energy dissipation. This study presents two- and three-dimensional, realistic topography simulations of internal lee-wave generation from a steady flow interacting with topography with parameters typical of Drake Passage. The results demonstrate that internal wave generation at three-dimensional, finite bottom topography is reduced compared to the two-dimensional case. The reduction is primarily associated with finite-amplitude bottom topography effects that suppress vertical motions and thus reduce the amplitude of the internal waves radiated from topography. The implication of these results for the global lee-wave generation is discussed.

ObjectiveRecently, a novel hydroxyapatite‐coated concave bone‐anchored hearing device abutment was introduced, the first designed specifically to improve outcomes in soft‐tissue preservation osseointegrated hearing implant surgery. We sought to evaluate our early experience with this abutment.Study DesignA single‐center case series with planned data collection including patient‐reported outcomes.SettingTertiary referral center.Subjects and MethodsThe first 30 consecutive patients undergoing osseointegrated hearing implant surgery using the Cochlear DermaLock (BA400) abutment at our institution (February‐September 2013) were studied. Follow‐up was for a minimum of 6 months. The following data were collected: operative duration; wound healing; postoperative complications, chiefly soft‐tissue reactions graded by Holger's classification; and postintervention patient‐perceived health‐related quality of life, as assessed by the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI).ResultsThe mean operating time was 16 minutes (range, 9‐22 minutes). Favorable and rapid wound healing was observed in all cases. Three patients (10%) reported transient periabutment paraesthesia. Four patients (13.3%) suffered adverse soft‐tissue reactions, all of which were successfully managed conservatively and graded as follows: Holger's grade 1 (n = 2), 2 (n = 1), and 3 (n = 1). Respective overall general health, social support, and physical health GBI mean scores were +38 (95% confidence interval [CI], 31 to 45), +51 (95% CI, 42 to 60), +19 (95% CI, 8 to 30), and +8 (95% CI, –1 to 17).ConclusionOur preliminary clinical and patient‐reported outcomes support soft‐tissue preservation surgery and indicate that the technology on which the Cochlear DermaLock (BA400) abutment is based may enhance soft‐tissue outcomes in this context. We recommend further appraisal of this approach on a larger scale with more extensive follow‐up.

The animal immune response against Galα1,3-Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R(α-Gal) epitopes gives an important cause for the failure of glutaraldehyde(GA)-fixed cardiac xenografts. This study aimed to assess the in vivo effect of our novel combined anticalcification treatment, which includes immunologic modification, using α1,3-galactosyltransferase knock-out mice to mimic human immunologic environment. Bovine pericardia were cross-linked with GA and treated with decellularization, immunologic modification with α-galactosidase, space-filler with polyethylene glycol, organic solvent, and detoxification. The bovine pericardia were subcutaneously implanted into humanized and wild type mice, and titers of anti α-Gal IgM and IgG were evaluated at various time intervals. In vivo calcification and immunohistochemistry staining was assessed for the explanted xenografts several months after implantation. In humanized mice, titers for anti α-Gal IgM and IgG increased as the period of implantation increased, and reduced with our anticalcification treatments. The humanized mice had more in vivo calcification in GA-fixed xenografts treated with our anticalcification protocol compared with wild type mice. In humanized mice, in vivo calcification reduced with our combined anticalcification treatment, and the immunohistochemistry of the harvested xenografts proved the compatible findings with the results of in vivo immunogenicity and calcification. Humanized mice are effective model for the assessment of in vivo calcification, and our combined anticalcification treatments reduced in vivo calcification as well as in vivo immunogenicity in humanized mice group, suggesting that the animal immune reaction is the cause for calcification. Our novel combined anticalcification strategies of decellularization, immunologic modification, space-filler, organic solvent, and detoxification have possible promise to prolong the lifespan of cardiac xenograft.
Research Productivity in Top-Ranked Schools in Psychology and Social Work
Authors: Holosko Michael J. , Barner John R. 
Published: September 2014

Objectives: We sought the answer to one major research question—Does psychology have a more defined culture of research than social work? Methods: Using U.S. News and World Report 2012 and 2013 rankings, we compared psychology faculty ( N = 969) from their 25 top ranked programs with a controlled sample of social work faculty ( N = 970) in their respectively ranked programs. We conducted analyses and between- and within-group comparisons across each academic rank, namely assistant, associate, and full professor. Three metrics used in these analyses were the h-index, the age-weighted citation rate (AWCR), and the per-author AWCRpA developed by Harzing. This study represents the first of its kind within the social sciences to utilize the latter two metrics, which discern one’s lifetime scholarship impact, controlling for both seniority and age. Results: Psychology faculty statistically outperformed social work faculty in every comparative category tested using all three metrics. These included both between each respective discipline and between each rank within each discipline. Particularly surprising was the predominance of the full professors in psychology performance over their social work counterparts. Conclusions: We make an empirical case offering the working hypothesis that a culture of research is embedded in psychology as a profession and academic discipline, and such a culture does not exist in social work. We hypothesize that a main element in developing any profession’s scholarship capacity includes ongoing comprehensive research mentorship—a factor not readily apparent in social work academic units.
A1C Testing and its Sociodemographic Predictors
Authors: Nepal Vishnu , Banerjee Deborah 
Published: September 2014

Background: One of the Healthy People (2020) goals related to the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) test is to increase the percentage of adults (aged 18 years and older) with diabetes who have had an HbA1C test at least twice in the past 12 months from 64.6% percent in 2008 to 71.1% by 2020. However, Texas has historically trailed behind several other states in achieving this goal. Targeted interventions for demographic subgroups of population could be a strategy to increase testing. However, little is known about the sociodemographic predictors of A1C test. Method: Texas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data (2011 and 2012) were used to identify sociodemographic predictors of having had at least one A1C test in the past 12 months among diabetic patients. The sociodemographic predictors examined included age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, educational attainment, insurance status, whether or not the respondents had a primary care physician, and age when diabetes was diagnosed. A logistic model was developed to predict the membership. Results: Multivariate logistic regression indicated that insurance status and educational attainment are predictors of adherence to an annual A1C test. Those with insurance were nearly 3 times more likely than those without insurance to report adherence to annual A1C test (odds ratio [OR] = 2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47-5.42, P = .002), when controlled for all other sociodemographic variables. Likewise, those with more than college-level education were also nearly 3 times more likely than those with less than high school level education to report adherence (OR = 2.74, 95% CI, 1.27-5.89, P = .010). Conclusion: Population-based diabetes management programs should consider educational attainment level and insurance status of individuals when developing interventions to increase the rate of adherence to A1C testing recommendation among diabetic patients. Targeting interventions toward individuals with less than high school education and ensuring that diabetic individuals have some form of health insurance coverage may be helpful.
