Treatment Options for Anemia, Taking Risks into Consideration: Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents Versus Transfusions
Authors: Spano Jean-Philippe , Khayat David 
Published: May 2008

AbstractErythropoiesis-stimulating agents are indicated for the treatment of chemotherapy induced-anemia in cancer patients. Controlled clinical studies have shown that epoetin alfa consistently and significantly increases levels of hemoglobin (Hb), decreases the need for RBC transfusion, and improves the quality of life that is of such importance in cancer patients with a limited life expectancy. The rise achieved in Hb level correlates with an improvement in quality of life. Studies have also demonstrated that earlier initiation of epoetin therapy (i.e., starting treatment at an Hb level of 10–11 g/dl rather than waiting for Hb to fall to &lt;10 g/dl) is associated with a faster achievement of an optimal Hb level, a lower transfusion requirement, and a maintained quality of life.
September 2007 Update on EORTC Guidelines and Anemia Management with Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents
Authors: Aapro Matti S. , Link Hartmut 
Published: May 2008

Abstract
Anemia is frequently experienced by cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and can negatively impact the patient's prognosis. Blood transfusions, iron supplementation (in absolute or functionally iron-deficient anemias), and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are among the treatment options for anemia. Treatment options for anemia management should be selected based on the best benefit-to-risk ratio for each individual patient. In September 2007, the working party of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) updated their guidelines on the use of ESAs, which are summarized in this paper. ESAs reduce the number of transfusions required and significantly improve quality of life in patients with chemotherapy-induced anemia. A sustained hemoglobin level of about 12 g/dl should be the target for treatment with ESAs. ESAs should be used according to the EORTC guidelines and within label with carefully considered exceptions.
INTRA‐INDIVIDUAL PLANT RESPONSE TO MOOSE BROWSING: FEEDBACK LOOPS AND IMPACTS ON MULTIPLE CONSUMERS
Authors: Stolter C. 
Published: May 2008

Salix phylicifolia responds to moose browsing with an intra‐individual plant response. This plant–animal system is characterized by complex changes in plant chemistry and plant morphology which in turn lead to differences in feeding strategies of future consumers.I postulate that the willow Salix phylicifolia has developed a two‐level strategy which results in two different types of twigs (new annual shoots) after moose browsing in winter. This strategy enables the plant to protect reproductive organs by offering two chemically different twigs to herbivores, with catkins concentrated on the less preferred twigs. In addition, it may enable plants to grow out of the reach of browsers. New growth of browsed and unbrowsed twigs on the same individual willow differed in morphology and chemical composition (intra‐individual response). New growth from browsed twigs had lower concentrations of individual phenolics, a higher biomass (twigs and leaves), and lower concentrations of nitrogen in leaves than the new growth of unbrowsed twigs. This response resulted in a positive feedback loop for moose, which typically rebrowsed the new growth of browsed twigs, whereas the new growth of unbrowsed twigs was avoided. This feeding behavior was consistent for leaf stripping by moose in summer and pruning of twigs in winter. I found no differences in the feeding behavior of herbivorous insects on the leaves growing on the new annual shoots of either browsed or unbrowsed twigs. The new growth of unbrowsed twigs, which were protected by different specific phenolics, had more catkins than the new growth of browsed twigs. In an interindividual comparison, the number of catkins on browsed willows was reduced. Hence, browsing has an impact on willow reproduction and pollinators. Consequently, large herbivores such as moose are likely to be a driving force in shaping patterns of plant response and plant and consumer communities.
Weak MV-algebras
Authors: Halaš Radomír , Plojhar Luboš 
Published: May 2008

Abstract
In a recent paper [CHAJDA, I.—KÜHR, J.: A non-associative generalization of MV-algebras, Math. Slovaca 57, (2007), 301–312], authors introduced and studied a non-associative generalization of MV-algebras called NMV-algebras. In contrast to MV-algebras, sections (i.e. principal filters) in NMV-algebras which are proper (i.e. are not MV-algebras), do not admit a structure of an NMV-algebra with respect to the operations defined in a natural way. The aim of the paper is to present a new class of algebras generalizing MV-algebras but sharing the above property.
Advancing in the presence of a demon
Authors: Louchard Guy , Prodinger Helmut 
Published: May 2008

Abstract
We study a parameter that contains approximate counting, i.e., the level reached after n random increments, driven by geometric probabilities, and insertion costs for tries as special cases. We are able to compute all moments of this parameter in a semi-automatic fashion. This is another showcase of the machinery developed in an earlier paper of these authors. Roughly speaking, it works when the underlying distributions are distributed according to the Gumbel distribution, or something similar.

Published: May 2008

AbstractBackgroundPrimary prevention of occupational asthma requires timely identification and regulation of asthma‐causing agents.MethodsWe examined 39 substances identified as causing allergic occupational asthma in the US to determine the basis for their identification and their regulatory status. We compared them with occupational asthmagens identified and regulated in the UK and Germany.ResultsUS regulatory agencies have not established consistent, evidence‐based methods to identify and control exposures to substances that cause occupational asthma. Occupational asthmagens are identified primarily by non‐regulatory US organizations, and most are not regulated to prevent asthma.ConclusionsImplementing an evidence‐based identification and regulatory process for occupational asthmagens will help to ensure primary prevention of occupational asthma in the US. This should include: establishing consistent identification criteria; publishing a list of occupational asthmagens; collecting use, exposure, and health effects information on asthma‐causing substances; requiring medical surveillance and medical removal protection in addition to exposure limits; and stimulating development of safer alternatives.

Beryllium sensitization and lung function among former workers at the Nevada Test Site
Authors: Rodrigues Ema G. , McClean Michael D. , Weinberg Janice , Pepper Lewis D. 
Published: May 2008

AbstractBackgroundBeryllium use at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) was not acknowledged until the late 1990's. Subsequently, the ongoing U.S. DOE funded medical screening program, which began in 1998, started testing former workers of the NTS for beryllium sensitization (BeS) in 2001 to identify individuals who may be at higher risk of developing chronic beryllium disease (CBD).MethodsAn observational study was conducted to identify work‐related factors associated with the odds of having BeS. Work history questionnaires were administered and principal components analysis was used to identify categories of related tasks associated with BeS.ResultsOf the 1,786 former workers tested for BeS, 23 had a confirmed positive result. An increased risk of BeS was found among workers who performed cleanup (OR = 2.68, 95% CI: 1.10, 6.56) and those who worked in Building B where beryllium parts were machined (OR = 2.52, 95% CI: 1.02, 6.19), though no significant increased risk was found when categories of related tasks were used. Additionally, the number of years worked at the NTS was associated with increased risk of BeS. There was no difference in pulmonary function, chest X‐ray abnormalities, or respiratory symptoms between those who were sensitized and normal.ConclusionsThe prevalence of BeS among former workers of the NTS who participated in our screening program was 1.3%. Former workers who performed specific job tasks may be at greater risk of developing BeS. Am. J. Ind. Med. 51:512–523, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Chiral Olefins as Steering Ligands in Asymmetric Catalysis
Authors: Defieber Christian , Grützmacher Hansjörg , Carreira Erick M. 
Published: May 2008

AbstractMetal‐catalyzed asymmetric processes offer one of the most straightforward ways to introduce stereogenic centers. Hence, the development of novel chiral ligands that can effectively induce asymmetry in reactions is crucial in modern organic synthesis. While many established chiral ligands bind to a metal through heteroatoms, structures that coordinate to metals through carbon atoms have received little attention so far. Here, we highlight the increasing number of such chiral chelating olefin ligands as well as their application in a variety of metal‐catalyzed transformations.
Kinetics of emulsion polymerization of styrene using the reactive surfactant HITENOL BC20
Authors: Lai Zhen , Sudol E. David , Dimonie Victoria L. , El‐Aasser Mohamed S. 
Published: May 2008

AbstractThe effect of the reactive surfactant HITENOL BC20 (polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether ammonium sulfate; 20 U of ethylene oxide (EO)) on the emulsion polymerization of styrene was studied via reaction calorimetry (Mettler RC1; 70°C). For polymerizations carried out above the cmc of BC20, the reaction kinetics and evolution of the number of particles (Np) resembled those reported using the conventional surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate, indicating that nucleation proceeded by a combination of micellar and homogenous nucleation (Interval I and Stage 2). The reaction rate (Rp) not only increased with increasing initiator (K2S2O8) and surfactant concentrations, as expected, but the increase in rate in Stage 2 was dependent on the initiator concentration and independent of the surfactant concentration. This is consistent with the proposed nucleation mechanisms. The molecular weight increased with increasing surfactant concentration and decreasing initiator concentration as would also be expected for a conventional surfactant. The dependencies of Rp and Np on the BC20 and initiator concentrations, however, were lower than the classical Smith‐Ewart values (Rp ∝ [E]0.47–0.52; Rp ∝ [I]0.21–0.25) although Rp was found to be directly proportional to Np. Chain transfer to the reactive surfactant is considered a likely source of divergence. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Effect of formulation factors on incorporation of the hydrophilic peptide dalargin into PLGA and mPEG‐PLGA nanoparticles
Authors: Chen Y. , Wang F. , Benson H. A. E. 
Published: May 2008

AbstractThe objective of this study was to examine formulation factors that influence the incorporation of the hydrophilic peptide dalargin into poly(D, L‐lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) and methoxy‐polyethylene glycol (mPEG)‐PLGA nanoparticles. In particular, the effect of ionic additives and nanoparticle method of preparation on the incorporation of dalargin and resultant nanoparticle properties was investigated. Biodegradable nanoparticles were prepared from mPEG‐PLGA and PLGA by both solvent evaporation and solvent diffusion methods with inclusion of ionic additives of dextran sulphate (DS), sulfobutyl ether‐β‐cyclodextrin (SB‐CD), or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The resultant nanoparticles were analyzed for their mean particle size and size distribution, zeta‐potential, peptide loading, yield, and morphology. The inclusion of ionic additives in the nanoparticle formulation significantly influenced dalargin entrapment efficiency (EE). For example, with the PLGA/SDS formulation EE increased from 13.3% to 91.2% and from 4.1% to 68.6% with the solvent diffusion and evaporation methods, respectively. The inclusion of ionic surfactant SDS has also lead to the formation of smaller size of nanoparticles. Isothermal titration microcalorimetry revealed a strong interaction between dalargin and DS, medium level interaction with SDS, and weak interaction with SB‐CD. The results of this study suggest that a strong ionic interaction between peptides and additives may lead to enhanced peptide incorporation but also increased particle size. Intermediate ionic interaction, especially when it is associated with the formation of reversed micelles in a hydrophobic polymer solution, could be used to enhance the incorporation of hydrophilic peptides in PLGA and mPEG‐PLGA nanoparticles. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
