A Survey of Privacy-Aware Supply Chain Collaboration: From Theory to Applications
Authors: Hong Yuan , Vaidya Jaideep , Wang Shengbin 
Published: December 2013

ABSTRACT
In the contemporary information era, the ubiquitous collection of data from different parties frequently accommodates significant mutual benefits to the involved participants. However, data is a double-bladed sword. Inappropriate access or use of data by the recipients may pose serious privacy issues that explicitly harm the data owners. In the past decade, swiftly increasing privacy concerns arise in many business processes such as supply chain management. How to protect the private information of different participants in the supply chain has become a key multidisciplinary research problem in information systems, production and operations management, computer science, and mathematics. Specifically, in the real world, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers commonly collaborate with each other to cater to the demands of supplying and marketing. In their traditional cooperation, all the parties completely share their proprietary information so as to jointly optimize their operations (e.g., maximize their profit or minimize their cost). Now, they realize that completely sharing such information would bring considerable negative impact to themselves. For overcoming this, some recent research results begin to make the following ideal occasion possible—all the participants collaboratively solve a realistic problem without revealing any private proprietary information to each other.
In this paper, we primarily review the literature on the applications of privacy-preserving techniques to supply chain collaboration among multiple parties. We first identify various private proprietary information required in the supply chain collaboration, and discuss several potential privacy-preserving techniques. Then, we review the relevant research results from theory to applications. Since intensive collaboration in modern supply chains opens even more opportunities in both academia and industry, we finally outline the future research trend and the potential challenges in this promising area.

Authors: Martin Catherine L. , Albers James W. , Pop-Busui Rodica ,   for the DCCT/EDIC Research Group
Published: December 2013

OBJECTIVE
To describe the development and progression of neuropathy and related findings among patients with type 1 diabetes who participated in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The main diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) outcome was assessed using clinical symptoms, signs, and nerve conduction study results during DCCT and repeated in EDIC year 13/14. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) was assessed by R-R response to paced breathing, Valsalva ratio, and blood pressure response to standing during DCCT and in EDIC years 13/14 and 16/17. Additionally, symptoms reflecting neuropathic pain and autonomic function (including hypoglycemia awareness) were collected yearly in EDIC using standardized questionnaires; peripheral neuropathy was also assessed annually using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument. Assessments of genitourinary function were collected at EDIC year 10.

RESULTS
Intensive therapy during the DCCT significantly reduced the risk of DPN and CAN at DCCT closeout (64% and 45%, respectively, P &lt; 0.01). The prevalence and incidence of DPN and CAN remained significantly lower in the DCCT intensive therapy group compared with the DCCT conventional therapy group through EDIC year 13/14.

CONCLUSIONS
The persistent effects of prior intensive therapy on neuropathy measures through 14 years of EDIC largely mirror those observed for other diabetes complications. DCCT/EDIC provides important information on the influence of glycemic control, and the clinical course of diabetic neuropathy, and, most important, on how to prevent neuropathy in type 1 diabetes.
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study at 30 Years: Summary and Future Directions
Authors: Gubitosi-Klug Rose A. ,   for the DCCT/EDIC Research Group
Published: December 2013

OBJECTIVE
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study continues to address knowledge gaps in our understanding of type 1 diabetes and the effects of intensive therapy on its long-term complications.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
During the DCCT (1982–1993), a controlled clinical trial of 1,441 subjects with type 1 diabetes, and the EDIC (1994–present), an observational study of the DCCT cohort, core data collection has included medical history questionnaires, surveillance health exams, and frequent laboratory and other evaluations for microvascular and macrovascular disease. Numerous collaborations have expanded the outcome data with more detailed investigations of cardiovascular disease, cognitive function, neuropathy, genetics, and potential biological pathways involved in the development of complications.

RESULTS
The longitudinal follow-up of the DCCT/EDIC cohort provides the opportunity to continue monitoring the durability of intensive treatment as well as to address lingering questions in type 1 diabetes research. Future planned analyses will address the onset and progression of microvascular triopathy, evidence-based screening for retinopathy and nephropathy, effects of glycemic variability and nonglycemic risk factors on outcomes, long-term impact of intensive therapy on cognitive decline, and health economics. Three new proposed investigations include an examination of residual C-peptide secretion and its impact, prevalence of hearing impairment, and evaluation of gastrointestinal dysfunction.

CONCLUSIONS
With the comprehensive data collection and the remarkable participant retention over 30 years, the DCCT/EDIC continues as an irreplaceable resource for understanding type 1 diabetes and its long-term complications.
Diabetic Retinopathy and Other Ocular Findings in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study
Authors: Aiello Lloyd Paul ,   for the DCCT/EDIC Research Group
Published: December 2013

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether intensive treatment (INT) with the goal of achieving blood glucose levels as close to the nondiabetic range as safely possible reduced the risk of onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with conventional therapy (CON).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) (1982–1993) was a multicenter, controlled clinical trial comparing INT with CON for onset and progression of DR. The Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study (1994–present) is an observational follow-up of the DCCT cohort.

RESULTS
Of the 1,441 DCCT subjects, 726 had no DR (primary prevention cohort) and 715 had mild DR (secondary intervention cohort) at baseline. Subjects were followed for a mean of 6.5 years. INT median HbA1c was 7% compared with CON median of 9%. INT reduced the adjusted mean risk for the development of DR by 76% and slowed progression of DR by 54% compared with CON. Following DCCT, the HbA1c levels in the original INT and CON groups converged (year 8, INT 7.98%; CON 8.07%); nevertheless, the groups continued to have a durable effect of initial assigned therapy with significantly lower incidence of further DR progression in the INT group (hazard reduction 53–56%). Severe retinal outcomes and procedures to treat them were reduced by 50% in the original INT group.

CONCLUSIONS
INT delays the onset and slows the progression of DR. Furthermore, the early effects of metabolic control continue to accrue over many years despite subsequent comparable glycemic control (metabolic memory). These results emphasize the need for optimizing glycemic control as early as possible in patients with diabetes.

An all-pairs shortest path algorithm for bipartite graphs
Authors: Torgasin Svetlana , Zimmermann Karl-Heinz 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Bipartite graphs are widely used for modeling of complex structures in biology, engineering, and computer science. The search for shortest paths in such structures is a highly demanded procedure that requires optimization. This paper presents a variant of the all-pairs shortest path algorithm for bipartite graphs. The method is based on the distance matrix product and improves the general algorithm by exploiting the graph topology. The space complexity is reduced by a factor of at least four and the time complexity decreased by almost an order of magnitude when compared with the basic APSP algorithm.
Denoising of digital images through PSO based pixel classification
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Somnath , Mandal Jyotsna 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
This paper proposes a de-noising method where the detection and filtering is based on unsupervised classification of pixels. The noisy image is grouped into subsets of pixels with respect to their intensity values and spatial distances. Using a novel fitness function the image pixels are classified using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. The distance function measured similarity/dissimilarity among pixels using not only the intensity values, but also the positions of the pixels. The detection technique enforced PSO based clustering, which is very simple and robust. The filtering operator restored only the noisy pixels keeping noise free pixels intact. Four types of noise models are used to train the digital images and these noisy images are restored using the proposed algorithm. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Various benchmark images are used to produce restoration results in terms of PSNR (dB) along with other parametric values. Some visual effects are also presented which conform better restoration of digital images through the proposed technique.
Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy–Related Interventions for People With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Authors: Arbesman Marian , Sheard Kendra 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
We describe the results of a systematic review of the literature on occupational therapy–related interventions for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The review included 14 studies. We found limited to moderate evidence that people involved in multidisciplinary programs have longer survival than those in general care and limited evidence that those in multidisciplinary programs have a higher percentage of appropriate assistive devices and higher quality of life in social functioning and mental health. Limited evidence indicates that people with ALS are satisfied with the comfort and ease of use of their power wheelchairs (PWCs). In addition, limited evidence is available that PWCs allow people to have increased interaction in the community. Evidence also is limited that some assistive devices are more helpful than others. Moderate evidence indicates that a home exercise program of daily stretching and resistance exercise results in improved function. The implications for practice, education, and research are discussed.
Systematic Review of Occupational Therapy–Related Interventions for People With Multiple Sclerosis: Part 1. Activity and Participation
Authors: Yu Chih-Huang , Mathiowetz Virgil 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
This article is the first part of a systematic review of studies on occupational therapy–related intervention for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objective of this systematic review was to critically appraise and synthesize the applicable findings to address the following focused question: What is the evidence for the effectiveness of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice for people with multiple sclerosis? This article focuses on occupational therapy interventions aimed at activity and participation, including programs (e.g., inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation) in which an occupational therapy practitioner was one member of the team. Part 2 (Yu & Mathiowetz, 2014) focuses on interventions within the scope of occupational therapy to remediate impairment (e.g., exercise, cognition, emotional regulation).

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Age-related medical conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) compromise driver fitness. Results from studies are unclear on the specific driving errors that underlie passing or failing an on-road assessment. In this study, we determined the between-group differences and quantified the on-road driving errors that predicted pass or fail on-road outcomes in 101 drivers with PD (mean age = 69.38 ± 7.43) and 138 healthy control (HC) drivers (mean age = 71.76 ± 5.08). Participants with PD had minor differences in demographics and driving habits and history but made more and different driving errors than HC participants. Drivers with PD failed the on-road test to a greater extent than HC drivers (41% vs. 9%), χ2(1) = 35.54, HC N = 138, PD N = 99, p &lt; .001. The driving errors predicting on-road pass or fail outcomes (95% confidence interval, Nagelkerke R2 =.771) were made in visual scanning, signaling, vehicle positioning, speeding (mainly underspeeding, t(61) = 7.004, p &lt; .001, and total errors. Although it is difficult to predict on-road outcomes, this study provides a foundation for doing so.
Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy–Related Interventions for People With Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Foster Erin R. , Bedekar Mayuri , Tickle-Degnen Linda 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
We describe the results of a systematic review of the literature on occupational therapy–related interventions for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Three broad categories of intervention emerged: (1) exercise or physical activity; (2) environmental cues, stimuli, and objects; and (3) self-management and cognitive–behavioral strategies. Moderate to strong evidence exists for task-specific benefits of targeted physical activity training on motor performance, postural stability, and balance. Low to moderate evidence indicates that more complex, multimodal activity training supports improvement in functional movement activities. The evidence is moderate that the use of external supports during functional mobility or other movement activities has positive effects on motor control. In addition, moderate evidence is available that individualized interventions focused on promoting participant wellness initiatives and personal control by means of cognitive–behavioral strategies can improve targeted areas of quality of life. The implications for practice, education, and research are discussed.

Published: December 2013

AbstractOBJECTIVES. The use of cognitive strategies optimizes performance in complex everyday tasks such as shopping. This exploratory study examined the cognitive strategies people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) effectively use in an unstructured, real-world situation.METHOD. A behavioral analysis of the self-generated strategic behaviors of 5 people with severe TBI using videotaped sessions of an ecological shopping task (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Profile) was performed.RESULTS. All participants used some form of cognitive strategy in an unstructured real-world shopping task, although the number, type, and degree of effectiveness of the strategies in leading to goal attainment varied. The most independent person used the largest number and a broader repertoire of self-generated strategies.CONCLUSION. These results provide initial evidence that occupational therapists should examine the use of self-generated cognitive strategies in real-world contexts as a potential means of guiding therapy aimed at improving independence in everyday activities for people with TBI.
Using Model Hands for Learning Orthotic Fabrication
Authors: Hagemann Eric , Williams Camille K. , McKee Pat , Stefanovich Andonia , Carnahan Heather 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Trainees could benefit from practicing orthotic fabrication on simulated hands with joint deformities. As a first step toward such training, we explored the use of a nonpathological model hand. Twenty-one participants were randomized into one of two groups that practiced using a person’s right hand or a model right hand. One week later, all participants returned for a transfer test in which they made one orthosis on a person’s left hand. All participants’ performance and orthoses were evaluated using a validated checklist and a global rating scale (GRS). Fabrication time for each orthosis also was recorded. The GRS score and fabrication time changed significantly over the course of practice. Trainees who practiced with the model hand made better orthoses during practice and on the transfer test, as measured with the checklist’s final product subscore. Instructional and contextual factors that may affect trainees’ performance and learning are discussed.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Systematic reviews of the literature relevant to neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), are important to the practice of occupational therapy. We describe the four questions that served as the focus for systematic reviews of the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for PD, MS, and ALS. We include the background for the reviews; the process followed for addressing each question, including search terms and search strategy; the databases searched; and the methods used to summarize and critically appraise the literature. The final number of articles included in each systematic review; a summary of the themes of the results; the strengths and limitations of the findings; and implications for practice, education, and research are presented.

Concise Review: Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells and Cardiac Lineage: Potential for Heart Repair
Authors: Hassan Narmeen , Tchao Jason , Tobita Kimimasa 
Published: December 2013

AbstractValuable and ample resources have been spent over the last two decades in pursuit of interventional strategies to treat the unmet demand of heart failure patients to restore myocardial structure and function. At present, it is clear that full restoration of myocardial structure and function is outside our reach from both clinical and basic research studies, but it may be achievable with a combination of ongoing research, creativity, and perseverance. Since the 1990s, skeletal myoblasts have been extensively investigated for cardiac cell therapy of congestive heart failure. Whereas the Myoblast Autologous Grafting in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (MAGIC) trial revealed that transplanted skeletal myoblasts did not integrate into the host myocardium and also did not transdifferentiate into cardiomyocytes despite some beneficial effects on recipient myocardial function, recent studies suggest that skeletal muscle-derived stem cells have the ability to adopt a cardiomyocyte phenotype in vitro and in vivo. This brief review endeavors to summarize the importance of skeletal muscle stem cells and how they can play a key role to surpass current results in the future and enhance the efficacious implementation of regenerative cell therapy for heart failure.
Targeting the Hypoxia-Sensing Pathway in Clinical Hematology
Authors: Forristal Catherine E. , Levesque Jean-Pierre 
Published: December 2013

Summary
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are oxygen-sensitive transcription factors regulated by oxygen-dependent prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes and are key to cell adaptation to low oxygen. The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche in the bone marrow is highly heterogeneous in terms of microvasculature and thus oxygen concentration. The importance of hypoxia and HIFs in the hematopoietic environment is becoming increasingly recognized. Many small compounds that inhibit PHDs have been developed, enabling HIFs to be pharmacologically stabilized in an oxygen-independent manner. The use of PHD inhibitors for therapeutic intervention in hematopoiesis is being increasingly investigated. PHD inhibitors are well established to increase erythropoietin production to correct anemia in hemodialysis patients. Pharmacological stabilization of HIF-1α protein with PHD inhibitors is also emerging as an important regulator of HSC proliferation and self-renewal. Administration of PHD inhibitors increases quiescence and decreases proliferation of HSCs in the bone marrow in vivo, thereby protecting them from high doses of irradiation and accelerating hematological recovery. Recent findings also show that stabilization of HIF-1α increases mobilization of HSCs in response to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and plerixafor, suggesting that PHD inhibitors could be useful agents to increase mobilization success in patients requiring transplantation. These findings highlight the importance of the hypoxia-sensing pathway and HIFs in clinical hematology
