Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the value of increasing inflammation in predicting gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Materials and methods: Subjects in this cross-sectional study included 302 GDM and 310 normal pregnancies before 20 weeks. Sociodemographic and pregnancy characteristics as well as blood parameters were acquired by maternal health booklet, medical records and laboratory information systems. Blood cell parameters were compared between the two groups by independent sample t-tests. Multivariate logistic regression, χ2-test, receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC), and Fisher’s linear discriminant were performed to analyze the screening effects of variables in developing GDM.

Results: Women with GDM had significantly higher neutrophil (NEU), lymphocyte (LYM), platelet (PLT) and erythrocyte (RBC) counts, and were positively correlated with GDM. NEU (odds ratios, OR, 1.22) and LYM (OR, 2.01) were independently associated with the development of GDM (P<0.001). The OR of the mean platelet volume (MPV) and mean cell volume (MCV) were 0.84 and 0.92, respectively (P<0.01 for both). The efficiency of Fisher’s equations in correctly classifying cases of GDM from 4 to 20 weeks of gestation was 70.06%.

Conclusions: Maternal WBC, RBC, and PLT counts are important correlates of GDM. Increased volume of RBC and PLT might protect pregnant women from development of GDM.

Abstract

Objective: Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important reason for maternal mortality. In developed countries, the reason of 13% of maternal deaths is postpartum hemorrhage while this percentage reaches more than 30% in other countries. In this study, the effect of oxytocin use in different times at the 3rd stage of delivery on changes in the postpartum hemoglobin levels was compared.

Design and setting: In the study, 89 pregnant women to whom oxytocin was administered after placenta separation were studied in Group 1, 89 pregnant women were included in Group 2, and oxytocin was administered after delivery of the shoulder. The levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit before and after delivery were quantified.

Results: The biochemical parameters were examined, there was no significant statistical differences in the levels of hemoglobin and hemotocrit before delivery between the two groups. When compared to Group 1, Δ-hemoglobin (P=>0.001), Δ-hematocrit (P=>0.001), the change between the prepartum and postpartum hemoglobin percentage (P<=0.001), and change between the prepartum and postpartum hemotocrit percentage (P<=0.001) were statistically lower in Group 2.

Conclusions: It was determined that the use of oxytocin after shoulder delivery has more effects on decreasing the amount of postpartum hemorrhage.
Skill importance in women’s soccer
Authors: Heiner Matthew , Fellingham Gilbert W. , Thomas Camille 
Published: June 2014

AbstractSoccer analytics often follow one of two approaches: 1) regression models on number of shots taken or goals scored to predict match winners, or 2) spatial and/or temporal analysis of plays for evaluation of strategy. We propose a new model to evaluate skill importance in soccer. Play by play data were collected on 22 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer matches with a new skill notation system. Using a Bayesian approach, we model play sequences as discrete absorbing Markov chains. Using posterior distributions, we estimate the probability of 35 distinct offensive skills leading to a shot during a single possession.
The effect of hybridization and boundary conditions on damping and free vibration of composite plates
Authors: Erkliğ Ahmet , Bulut Mehmet , Yeter Eyüp 
Published: June 2014

Abstract
In this study, the influence of hybridization on natural frequency and damping properties of laminated composite plates consisting of various combinations of fibers and boundary conditions are examined. Carbon (C), Kevlar® (K), and S-glass fibers are used as reinforcement with epoxy resin for hybridization. Experiments are conducted on hybrid composites under the combinations of clamped, free, and simply supported boundary conditions. Natural frequency analyses of hybrid composites are performed using finite element analysis software ANSYS. Vibration test results obtained from experimental and numerical studies are compared with each other. Results show that hybridizations with three different fibers and their substitutions in the layers have strongly effected the damping and vibration characteristics of composite plates.

Published: June 2014

Background & Aims: A gradual shift of colorectal adenoma and carcinoma location toward the proximalcolon has been recently observed both in the United States and Europe. We aimed to study the polyp andadenoma detection rate in a major endoscopy center of northwestern Romania over a 16-year period, and to characterize the distribution and the pathological features of the removed polyps according to age and sex, in order to assess the trend of proximal adenoma prevalence in our population.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 9,230 consecutive colonoscopies performed between 1996 and 2011 in a high-volume outpatient clinic in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. We analyzed 2,436 complete colonoscopies that detected 3,642 polyps in two time periods: 1996 to 2003 and 2004 to 2011. We compared the number, size and histopathological features of the polyps removed from the right-sided colon and the left sided-colon in the two periods.Results: An increasing trend of polyp detection rate in the right-sided colon was observed, from 9.36% in the first period to 12.17% in the second period (p<0.001). The prevalence of right-sided colon adenomas also presented an increased trend (OR 1.45; CI95% 1.02-2.05; p=0.03). High-grade dysplasia (HGD) was found in 8.6% of the adenomas and in 4.1% of the diminutive polyps. Advanced neoplasia was detected in 1.5% of persons younger than 50 years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis evidenced that the right-sided polyps were significantly associated with the last time period (OR 1.3; p=0.001; CI95% 1.12-1.56), male gender (OR- 1.3; p=0.001; CI95% 1.1-1.5) and age above 48 years (OR 1.3; p=0.006: CI95% 1-1.6).Conclusion: An increasing trend of polyp detection rate in the right-sided colon was documented, with anincreasing prevalence of right-sided adenomas. The evaluation of the proximal colon is particularly important in males aged over 48. A clear-cut risk of HGD in the diminutive polyps and in the middle age subjects has been also observed.

Published: June 2014

Background & Aims: To compare the eficacy and tolerance of sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate(PMC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) in a single or split dose regimen for colonoscopy bowel preparation.Methods: A prospective, randomized, endoscopist-blinded, multicenter study. The patients were randomly assigned to receive PMC (PMC4/0) or PEG (PEG4/0) in a single dose 4L day before colonoscopy or a split dose 2+2L PMC (PMC2/2) or 3+1L PEG (PEG3/1) one day before and in the morning before the colonoscopy. Each patient was interviewed to determine his/her subjective tolerance of the preparation before the procedure. The quality of bowel cleansing was assessed in a blinded test performed by multiple endoscopists using the Aronchick scale.Results: A total of 600 patients were enrolled, 88.2% were included in the analysis. Satisfactory bowel cleansing (Aronchick score 1 and 2) was signicantly more frequent when a split dose was used irrespective of the solution type (81.6% PMC2/2, 87.3% PEG3/1 vs. 73.0% PEG4/0, p = 0.024). In single dose regimens, PMC performed better than PEG (82.6% vs. 73.0%). Single or split dose PMC preparations were comparable. A PMC based solution was generally better tolerated than PEG regardless of the regimen used (p < 0.001). Nausea was reported mostly after the 4L PEG (32.8%, p < 0.001), incontinence after a split PMC dose (34.4%, p = 0.002), and bloating after the 4L PEG (38.0%, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of vomiting.Conclusion: Colonic preparation with PMC yields similar results as a split PEG dose, regardless of whether PMC is administered in single or separate doses. PMC is better tolerated than any PEG-based preparation. A single 4L PEG the day before the colonoscopy is less appropriate for bowel cleansing.

Published: June 2014

ABSTRACTNanomaterials engineered in novel multi-modular systems in which every component works in a synergistic way with others could potentially lead to a completely new type of tools for nanomedicine. The development of nanostructures able to release drugs directly within the target after a stimulus can drastically improve the therapeutics efficiency by reducing side effects. Gold nanoparticles offer one of the most suitable platforms for the development of modular nano-devices. On the one hand, their surface properties enable effective coating by peptides containing at least one cysteine, thus yielding stable and non-cytotoxic systems. On the other, their intriguing photophysics, characterized by the surface plasmon resonance, can be exploited for novel excitation schemes. Doxorubicin is a widely used, but toxic, cancer chemotherapeutic agent. In order to localize its therapeutic action while minimizing its side effects, doxorubicin was covalently conjugated to 30 nm peptide-encapsulated gold nanospheres by click-chemistry and then it was photo-released in a controlled fashion through the cleavage of the 1,2,3-triazolic ring by a multiphoton process using 561 nm irradiation at µW power. Selective apoptosis of human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells was observed only in the irradiated 100x100 micron area in less than six minutes after the stimulus. Notably, the apoptotic effect of doxorubicin was completely inhibited for at least eight hours until its release “on demand” was externally light-triggered.

Published: June 2014

ABSTRACTAmong the new non-volatile memories gaining attention as a potential replacement for flash technology is the programmable metallization cell (PMC) that works by creating and dissolving a conductive bridge across a solid electrolyte film. This enables switching between a high resistance state (HRS) and a low resistance state (LRS). The dominant mechanism for resistance switching is field dependent ion transport in the film. In this work, we examine, through numerical simulation, the effects of process variation on the impedance characteristics of the PMC in both HRS and LRS, by changing key parameters of the device. These parameters include the material bandgap, affinity and permittivity of each device layer. Finally, we show which parameters have the greatest effects on the impedance behavior.
Indium Tin Oxide Thin Films Deposited at Low Temperature Using Dual Ion Beam Sputtering
Authors: Geerts Wilhelmus J. , Simpson Nelson A. , Woodall Alan D. , Compton Maclyn Stuart 
Published: June 2014

ABSTRACTITO samples were sputtered at room temperature by ion assisted dual ion beam sputtering using atomic or molecular oxygen. The electrical properties appear to depend on the oxygen flow rate during deposition and the resistivity decreases for samples sputtered at a higher oxygen flow rate (1-5 sccm). The resistivity is lowest at an oxygen flow rate of 4 sccm. The average absorption in the visible part of the spectrum also decreases as a function of the oxygen flow rate and is lower for samples sputtered with atomic oxygen. The figure of merit, i.e. the ratio of the conductivity versus the average absorption in the visible range, increases for higher oxygen flow rates and is typically 20-60% higher for samples sputtered using an atomic oxygen assist beam.
