Background—
We explored the safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) or intra-arterial treatment (IAT) in patients with ischemic stroke on non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs, last intake <48 hours) in comparison with patients (1) taking vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or (2) without previous anticoagulation (no-OAC).

Methods and Results—

This is a multicenter cohort pilot study. Primary outcome measures were (1) occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in 3 categories: any ICH (ICH
any
), symptomatic ICH according to the criteria of the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study II (ECASS-II) (sICH
ECASS-II
) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) thrombolysis trial (sICH
NINDS
); and (2) death (at 3 months). Cohorts were compared by using propensity score matching. Our NOAC cohort comprised 78 patients treated with IVT/IAT and the comparison groups of 441 VKA patients and 8938 no-OAC patients. The median time from last NOAC intake to IVT/IAT was 13 hours (interquartile range, 8–22 hours). In VKA patients, median pre-IVT/IAT international normalized ratio was 1.3 (interquartile range, 1.1–1.6). ICH
any
was observed in 18.4% NOAC patients versus 26.8% in VKA patients and 17.4% in no-OAC patients. sICH
ECASS-II
and sICH
NINDS
occurred in 2.6%/3.9% NOAC patients, in comparison with 6.5%/9.3% of VKA patients and 5.0%/7.2% of no-OAC patients, respectively. At 3 months, 23.0% of NOAC patients in comparison with 26.9% of VKA patients and 13.9% of no-OAC patients had died. Propensity score matching revealed no statistically significant differences.

Conclusions—
IVT/IAT in selected patients with ischemic stroke under NOAC treatment has a safety profile similar to both IVT/IAT in patients on subtherapeutic VKA treatment or in those without previous anticoagulation. However, further prospective studies are needed, including the impact of specific coagulation tests.

Background
Venous stenosis is a common complication of transvenous lead implantation, but the risk factors for venous stenosis have not been well defined to date. This study was designed to evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for venous stenosis in a large consecutive cohort.

Methods and Results

A total of 212 consecutive patients (136 male, 76 female; mean age 69 years) with existing pacing or implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator systems presented for generator replacement, lead revision, or device upgrade with a mean time since implantation of 6.2 years. Venograms were performed and percentage of stenosis was determined. Variables studied included age, sex, number of leads, lead diameter, implant duration, insulation material, side of implant, and anticoagulant use. Overall, 56 of 212 patients had total occlusion of the subclavian or innominate vein (26%). There was a significant association between the number of leads implanted and percentage of venous stenosis (
P
=0.012). Lead diameter, as an independent variable, was not a risk factor; however, greater sum of the lead diameters implanted was a predictor of subsequent venous stenosis (
P
=0.009). Multiple lead implant procedures may be associated with venous stenosis (
P
=0.057). No other variables approached statistical significance.

Conclusions
A significant association exists between venous stenosis and the number of implanted leads and also the sum of the lead diameters. When combined with multiple implant procedures, the incidence of venous stenosis is increased.

Lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality in Polish and LithuanianThe dissertation discusses the problem of lexical indicators of the hypothetical modality to be observed in Polish and Lithuanian. To begin with, the definition of the hypothetical modality along with its paraphrase has been formed. Furthermore, the gradational character of the category has been analyzed. There have been distinguished six groups of lexemes, which express particular degrees of the hypothetical modality – ranging from that expressing the trace of uncertainty (minimal degree of probability) to that expressing almost complete certainty (maximum degree of probability). The resemblances and differences between the languages have been noticed. In the research area, the method of contemporary contrastive studies utilizing the interlanguage and the experimental Polish-Lithuanian corpus have been applied. Лексические средства гипотетической модальности в польском и литовском языкахВ статье описывается проблема лексических показателей гипотетической модальности в польском и литовском языках. В самом начале представляется содержание категории гипотетической модальности и ее парафраза (экспликaция). Затем описываются особенности этой категории как изменение по степеням возможности. Выделяются шесть групп лексем, которые связаны с разными степенями возможности. Первая группа связана с лексемами, выражающими легкую возможность, последняя же группа включает лексемы, которых степень возможности приближается к единице (истине, полной уверенности говорящего). Обращается внимание на сходства и различия между сопоставляемыми языками. В исследованиях используются (а) современный метод сопоставления языков – метод теоретического сопоставления естественных языков с использованием так называемого языка-посредника (tertium comparationis), (б) данные экспериментального польско-литовского корпуса.
"Rok", "pora roku", "miesiąc"… – leksyka temporalna w słownikach gwarowych Grodzieńszczyzny i jej literackie ekwiwalenty

Published: August 2015

Year, season of the year and month… – temporal vocabulary in dialectal dictionaries of the area around Grodno and its literary equivalentsIn this article a very extensive part of temporal vocabulary describing the 5 semasiological fields – year, seasons of the year: spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the lexems connected with the names of the months in the literal Belorussian language and the dialects around Grodno. It must be ascertained that both the lexems of Belorussian literal language and dialects of around Grodno are typically and cultural strong based. They are based on locatives (*godъ, *rokъ, *pora, *vermę, *vesna, *lěto, *osenь, *zima, *mesęcь). The clear precision and accuracy must be closely seen in literary language whereas in presented above lexems, it is observed a great number variety of described derivations. A significant feature of the mentioned above group is a scarcity and standard Belorussian language. Undoubtedly the peculiarity of the vocabulary analysed above is the fact of the searching the origin of the most of them in common heritage of Slavs. Год, время года (сезон), месяц … – темпоральная лексика в словарях говоров Гродненской области и её литературные эквивалентыСтатья посвящена небольшой части временных наименований (нескольких основных тематических групп: год, время/времена года (и их номинации: весна, лето, осень, зима), месяц (в частности их названия), засведетельствованных многими словарями диалектной лексики Гродненской области. Предметом исследования является сопоставление диалектной темпоральной лексики с тождественным, с семантичской точки зрения, стандартным словником общебелорусcкой речи. Временная референция в народных говорах весьма существенно отличается от соответствующей ей в литературном языке. Несмотря на то, что большая часть проанализированных названий – это общее праславянское наследие (ср. *godъ, *rokъ, *pora, *vermę, *vesna, *lěto, *osenь, *zima, *mesęcь), заметно, что в различные периоды развития языка временная лексика (как базовая часть так называемого культурнoго, значит, древнейшего пласта, словарного запаса) являлась потенциальной базой для семантических и деривациoнных преобразований. Доказательством вышесказанного являетя обилие форм и семантических структур, засвидетельствованных в диалектном материале и их заметная (по сравнению с говорами) скудость в литературном варианте языка (что связано с «тщательной точностью» сферы употребления). Иной причниой является продуктивность семантического центра “фазы года, его времени”. Хотя он продуктивен также и в стандартизированном языке, но в большей степени все-таки в говорах, так как языковая картина мира диалектоносителя максимально ориентирована на природные и трудовые процессы. Нельзя забывать и о региональных заимствованиях (главным образом из польского языка), что безусловно следует объяснить исторической и географической спецификой Гродненской области.

Tracing the Belorussian Poleszuks (a report on field research)The present article is a report on field research conducted in summer 2010 in order to collect dialectological material. 13 localities were researched altogether: Pinsk and 11 villages of the Pinsk district and one village of the Stolin district. During the interviews the following topics were discussed: the language situation in the village, issues of national identity, visions of Polesia and Poleszuks, traditions and customs, issues of confession, attitude towards the process of draining bogs or image of Poland and Poles. Belorussian linguists (e.g. A. Krywicki) take note of the fact that Polesia, despite frequent dialectological research, has not been described accurately enough by linguists. The rich material collected showed not only well-preserved dialects of Polesia of Ukrainian basis (slight influence mainly of the Russian language can be observed with people of the oldest generation) but also strong though disappearing spiritual and material culture of the inhabitants of Polesia. По следам белорусских полешуков (отчёт по итогам полевых исследований) Настоящая статья является рапортом полевых исследований, проведённых летом 2010 г. с целью сбора диалектологического материала. Исследование охватило 13 населённых пунктов – город Пинск, 11 деревень Пинского района и одну деревню Столинского района Брестской области Беларуси. В интервью затрагивались следующие темы: языковая ситуация в деревне, вопросы национального самосознания, образы Полесья и полешуков, традиции и обычаи, вопросы вероисповедания, отношение к процессу мелиорации, а также образ Польши и поляков. Белорусские филологи (напр. А. Кривицкий) обращают внимание на то, что несмотря на многочисленные диалектологические исследования, Полесье остаётся территорией, которая всё ещё недостаточно подробно описана языковедами. Собранный обширный материал показал не только хорошо сохранившиеся полесские диалекты с украинской основой (среди респондентов старшего поколения видны незначительные влияния в основном русского языка), но и до сих пор сильную, хотя и угасающую духовную и материальную культуру полешуков.
Numerical Study on the Extremely Rapid Intensification of an Intense Tropical Cyclone: Typhoon Ida (1958)
Authors: Kanada Sachie , Wada Akiyoshi 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Extremely rapid intensification (ERI) of Typhoon Ida (1958) was examined with a 2-km-mesh nonhydrostatic model initiated at three different times. Ida was an extremely intense tropical cyclone with a minimum central pressure of 877 hPa. The maximum central pressure drop in 24 h exceeded 90 hPa. ERI was successfully simulated in two of the three experiments. A factor crucial to simulating ERI was a combination of shallow-to-moderate convection and tall, upright convective bursts (CBs). Under a strong environmental vertical wind shear (&gt;10 m s−1), shallow-to-moderate convection on the downshear side that occurred around the intense near-surface inflow moistened the inner-core area. Meanwhile, dry subsiding flows on the upshear side helped intensification of midlevel (8 km) inertial stability. First, a midlevel warm core appeared below 10 km in the shallow-to-moderate convection areas, being followed by the development of the upper-level warm core associated with tall convection. When tall, upright, rotating CBs formed from the leading edge of the intense near-surface inflow, ERI was triggered at the area in which the air became warm and humid. CBs penetrated into the upper troposphere, aligning the areas with high vertical vorticity at low to midlevels. The upper-level warm core developed rapidly in combination with the midlevel warm core. Under the preconditioned environment, the formation of the upright CBs inside the radius of maximum wind speeds led to an upright axis of the secondary circulation within high inertial stability, resulting in a very rapid central pressure deepening.

Published: August 2015

Background Radiation exposure remains an unceasing concern in angiographic procedures. Modern angiography machines such as analog image intensifiers (AII) or the new flat panel detectors (FPD) aim at a further dose reduction. Purpose To present dose area products (DAP) in a broad spectrum of therapeutic angiographic procedures, comparing an AII to an FPD angiography system. Material and Methods A total of 999 peripheral therapeutic angiography procedures performed with an FPD ( n = 562) and an AII system ( n = 437) were evaluated. DAP, fluoroscopy time, and patients' body mass index (BMI) were recorded. Interventions were classified into five main groups: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA); PTA and stent placement; intra-arterial thrombolysis; embolization procedures; and specialized interventions. Results DAP values in therapeutic angiographic procedures were significantly higher when performed with the FPD compared to the AII system. The increase of the FPD versus AII system was 100.1% for PTA, 39.9% for PTA and stent placement, 187% for intra-arterial thrombolysis, 31.3% for embolization procedures, and 361% for specialized interventions. These differences persisted after standardizing DAP values to the geometric mean fluoroscopy duration of each procedure. Fluoroscopy times were shorter in all interventions performed at the FPD as compared to the AII system. DAPs increased with higher BMI, but the DAP increase of both systems with elevated BMI was variable, depending on the individual intervention. Conclusion In therapeutic angiographic procedures, the FPD system required higher DAPs despite shorter fluoroscopy times as compared to an AII system. Better ergonomics and speediness of the FPD system may be advantageous in the emergency setting.
Comparison of early recovery and cognitive function after desflurane and sevoflurane anaesthesia in elderly patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Published: August 2015

Objectives A meta-analysis to compare postoperative cognitive function and the time to specific recovery events in elderly patients (aged >65 years) anaesthetized with sevoflurane or desflurane. Methods A systematic search of the PubMed®, Embase®, Cochrane Library and Chinese Biomedical databases was performed using the keywords ‘sevoflurane’ and ‘desflurane’. Data and characteristics of appropriate randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were extracted. Results The meta-analysis included five trials ( n = 300). The time taken to follow commands (mean difference [MD] −3.27; 95% confidence intervals [CI] −4.95, −1.59), extubation (MD −1.59; 95%CI −2.62, −0.55), orientation (MD −4.31; 95%CI −4.99, −3.62), and recovery room discharge (MD −9.38; 95%CI −13.43, −5.42) were significantly shorter in the desflurane group than in the sevoflurane group. There was no significant between-drug difference in the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction or the time taken to open the eyes. Conclusions Desflurane is associated with a faster recovery from general anaesthesia than sevoflurane in elderly patients.

Authors: Schipper Oliver N. , Hsu Andrew R. , Haddad Steven L. 
Published: August 2015

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical differences in wound complications after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) between a cohort of patients that received a compression wrap protocol and a historical control group treated with cast immobilization. Methods: Patient charts and postoperative wound pictures were reviewed for 42 patients who underwent a compression wrap protocol and 50 patients who underwent circumferential casting after primary TAA from 2008 to 2013. A blinded reviewer graded each wound using a novel postoperative wound classification system, and recorded whether the wound was completely healed by or after 3 months. A second blinded review was performed to determine intraobserver reliability. Mean patient age was 55 years (range, 24-80) and all patients had at least 6-month follow-up. Results: There were significantly more total wound complications ( P = .02) and mild wound complications ( P = .02) in the casted group compared to the compression wrap group. There were no significant differences in the number of moderate and severe complications between each group. A significantly higher proportion of TAA incisions took longer than 3 months to heal in the casted group ( P = .02). Conclusions: Based on our clinical experience with postoperative wound care after TAA, use of a compression wrap protocol was safe and effective at reducing wound-related complications, and well tolerated by patients. Further prospective, randomized clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the utility and cost-effectiveness of a compression wrap protocol after TAA. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
Mental Health Help Seeking Among Traumatized Individuals
Authors: van den Berk-Clark Carissa , Patterson Silver Wolf David 
Published: August 2015

Objective: Prior research has suggested that competing neurobehavioral decision-making processes might affect health outcomes among traumatized populations. Regulatory imbalances to impulsive and executive decision systems are affected by high levels of stress, including stress resulting from traumatic events. Such regulatory imbalances have been associated with addictive behaviors. However, it is not well known whether addictive behavior increases or decreases the likelihood of utilization of behavioral health services among traumatized populations. The aim of this study is to systematically review mental health utilization studies targeting traumatized populations to determine the direction of association between substance use and behavioral health utilization. Method: Databases of literature were searched in a systematic manner, and 37 relevant studies were recovered and analyzed. Findings: Of the 37 relevant studies that included addictive behaviors as a predictor of utilization, 16 showed a positive significant relationship and 6 showed a negative significant relationship. Studies showing a negative significant relationship used younger samples with more recent trauma exposure. Conclusion: Studies have shown that for the most part, substance abuse increases the likelihood of utilization, except among younger populations with more recent trauma. Longitudinal studies that access how utilization evolves over time among traumatized populations and interacts with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse severity are necessary to better understand how decision-making processes of traumatized individuals may increase the likelihood of chronic PTSD.

Beamforming design with proactive interference cancelation in MISO interference channels
Authors: Li Yang , Tian Yafei , Yang Chenyang 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
In this paper, we design coordinated beamforming at base stations (BSs) to facilitate interference cancelation at users in interference networks, where each BS is equipped with multiple antennas and each user is with a single antenna. By assuming that each user can select the best decoding strategy to mitigate the interference, either canceling the interference after decoding when it is strong or treating it as noise when it is weak, we optimize the beamforming vectors that maximize the sum rate for the networks under different interference scenarios and find the solutions of beamforming with closed-form expressions. The inherent design principles are then analyzed, and the performance gain over passive interference cancelation is demonstrated through simulations in heterogeneous cellular networks.
