Invasive cutaneous angiomatosis and thrombocytopenia in a cat
Authors: Bulman-Fleming Julie C. , Gibson Tom W. , Kruth Stephen A. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
Case Description—A 9-year-old 6.9-kg (15.18-lb) castrated male Siamese cat was evaluated because of a 3-year history of repeated hemorrhage from the right metacarpal pad.
Clinical Findings—Physical examination findings were unremarkable except for a 2-mm-diameter erosion of the right metacarpal pad. A CBC revealed marked thrombocytopenia. Serum biochemical analyses, retroviral screening, thoracic radiography, and abdominal ultrasonography revealed no abnormalities. Via ultrasonographic examination, the vasculature in the right metacarpal pad appeared increased, compared with that of the left pad; an aberrant arterial plexus that was confined to the metacarpal pad was identified via arterial angiography.
Treatment and Outcome—Surgical resection of the metacarpal pad (without digital pad transposition) with primary closure was performed. Histologic evaluation of the pad tissue revealed invasive cutaneous angiomatosis. The incision healed without complications, and limb function was considered normal. Administration of prednisone (2 mg/kg [0.91 mg/lb], PO, q 24 h) was initiated 4 weeks prior to surgery to treat suspected immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and continued afterwards with a tapering dosage. Platelet count was within reference limits 4 months after surgery; at 12 months, there was no evidence of recurrence of abnormal vasculature in the right metacarpal pad region.
Clinical Relevance—Complete resection of the metacarpal pad (without pad transposition) resulted in successful and well-tolerated treatment of cutaneous angiomatosis of the metacarpal pad of a cat. Recurrence of abnormal vasculature was not evident at a 12-month follow-up examination. Thrombocytopenia is commonly associated with vascular anomalies in humans and may have been a contributing factor in this cat.

Authors: Davis Jennifer L. , Kirk Loren Madden , Davidson Gigi S. , Papich Mark G. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
Objective—To determine the effects of temperature and light over a 35-day period on stability of pergolide mesylate after compounding in an aqueous vehicle.
Design—Evaluation study.
Procedures—Pergolide was compounded into a formulation with a final target concentration of 1 mg/mL. Aliquots of the formulation were then stored at −20°, 8°, 25°, or 37°C without exposure to light or at 25°C with exposure to light for 35 days. Samples were assayed in triplicate by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography immediately after compounding and after 1, 7, 14, 21, and 35 days of storage.
Results—Mean ± SD concentration of pergolide in the formulation immediately after compounding was 1.05 ± 0.086 mg/mL. Samples exposed to light while stored at 25°C had undergone excessive degradation by day 14, samples stored at 37°C had undergone excessive degradation by day 21, and samples stored at 25°C without exposure to light had undergone excessive degradation by day 35. The decrease in expected concentration corresponded with the appearance of degradation peaks in chromatograms and with a change in color of the formulation.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results indicated that pergolide mesylate was unstable after compounding in an aqueous vehicle and that storage conditions had an effect on stability of the compounded formulation. Compounded pergolide formulations in aqueous vehicles should be stored in a dark container, protected from light, and refrigerated and should not be used > 30 days after produced. Formulations that have undergone a color change should be considered unstable and discarded.
Effects of propofol administered via the supravertebral sinus in red-eared sliders
Authors: Ziolo Mira S. , Bertelsen Mads F. 
Published: January 2009

Abstract
Objective—To characterize the effects of propofol administered at 10 and 20 mg/kg (4.5 and 9 mg/lb) via the supravertebral venous sinus in red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta).
Design—Prospective, masked randomized crossover study.
Animals—10 adult female red-eared sliders.
Procedures—Propofol was administered via the supravertebral sinus. Skeletal muscle tone of neck, forelimbs, hind limbs, and tail; heart rate; palpebral, corneal, and tap reflexes; response to deep pain; and spontaneous movement were recorded.
Results—Mean induction times were 1.7 ± 2.4 minutes and 0.9 ± 1.4 minutes at propofol doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively. Significant differences between the 2 doses were found in anesthetic duration, duration of the plateau phase, and time to recovery of skeletal muscle tone. A greater proportion of turtles in 20 mg/kg trials had loss of palpebral reflexes and sensation of deep pain, whereas corneal and spinal reflexes remained highly conserved at both doses. No significant differences were detected in time to maximal loss of skeletal muscle tone or in time to loss or recovery of reflexes. Total anesthetic times were 63.2 ± 23.8 minutes and 90.5 ± 32.3 minutes for 10 and 20 mg/kg trials, respectively. Heart rates remained constant between 30 and 40 beats/min with both doses.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Propofol administration via the supravertebral sinus was a rapid and reliable means of achieving anesthesia in healthy red-eared sliders. Doses of 10 to 20 mg/kg should be adequate for short procedures or for induction prior to inhalation anesthesia.

Functional model of river-sea ships operating in European system of transport corridors: Part II. Methods of determination of design assumptions for river-sea ships operating in European system of transport corridors, according to their functional model
This paper presents continuation of the research on the functional model of river-sea ships operating in European system of transport corridors. It deals with a set of methods of determination of design assumptions for river-sea ships. Relevant calculations were performed on the basis of a future network of European routes for operating the river-sea ships within EU system of water transport corridors, in which rates of cargo flows and lengths of particular routes as well as their mathematical model were taken into account. In consequence, technical assumptions for designing the fleet of river-sea ships to be operated in European system of water transport corridors, were obtained.
Multihull vessel excitations in stochastic formulation
Authors: Królicka Agnieszka

Multihull vessel excitations in stochastic formulation
The article analyses excitations of a multihull vessel using stochastic formulation. The excitations which make the vessel move come from the motion of sea waves and the action of wind. The sea undulation has most frequently the form of irregular waves, and that is why it is assumed in many studies of sea-going vessel dynamics that the undulation process has probabilistic nature. In the article the dynamics of a multihull vessel is analysed using a linear model on which an irregular wave acts. It was assumed that the examined object interacts with the head sea, and for this wave a set of state equations was derived. The head sea provokes symmetric movements of the object, i.e. surge, heave and pitch.

Experimental research on hydroelastic behaviour of a tank model subdivided into liquid-filled compartments
The research was performed with the use of plexiglass models subdivided into 12 separate compartments. The compartments can be filled with a liquid. The model was excited to vibrations within a given frequency band by means of an exciter and accelerations were measured in selected points of the model. During measurement series oscillograms were obtained for various filling states at continuously changing range of measured frequencies. The oscillograms obtained for free vibrations measured on liquid-filled tank models were then processed. Results of the model tests were compared with those theoretically calculated for simple cases of tank-liquid system. The simple cases were used to test correctness of the elaborated computational program for determining hydrodynamic loads applied to tank walls. The application program for determining hydrodynamic internal loads was elaborated. Also, the influence of liquid filling state on values of loading, accelerations and wall deformations was demonstrated.

Fault detection in measuring systems of power plants
This paper describes possibility of forming diagnostic relations based on application of the artifical neural networks (ANNs), intended for the identifying of degradation of measuring instruments used in developed power systems. As an example a steam turbine high-power plant was used. And, simulative calculations were applied to forming diagnostic neural relations. Both degradation of the measuring instruments and simultaneously occurring degradation of the measuring instruments and thermal cycle component devices, were taken into account. Good quality of diagnostic neural relations was stated. They make it possible to distinguish degradation of measuring instruments from degradation of thermal cycle components. The calculated errors of identification of dergraded devices and measuring instruments in the case of simultaneous occurence of three different degradations were on the level of 0.25 %. Performance of the relations was presented by using an example based on industrial practice.

Modelling of propeller shaft dynamics at pulse load
The article discusses a method of modelling of propeller shaft dynamics at the presence of virtually introduced underwater detonation effects. The propeller shaft model has four degrees of freedom, which provides opportunities for introducing shaft displacements and rotations similar to those observed in a real object. The equations of motion, taking into account the action of external agents, were implemented to the Matlab SIMULINK environment. The obtained time-histories and their spectra were compared with the experimental results of the tests performed on the marine testing ground. The performed model identification confirmed its sensitivity to changing parameters of motion and external actions.
Overview of mRNA Expression Profiling Using DNA Microarrays
Authors: Katagiri Fumiaki , Glazebrook Jane 
Published: January 2009

AbstractDNA microarray technology allows simultaneous measurement of the mRNA levels of thousands of genes. This powerful technology has applications in addressing many biological questions that were not approachable previously; however, the enormous size of microarray data sets leads to issues of experimental design and statistical analysis that are unfamiliar to many molecular biologists. The type of array used, the design of the biological experiment, the number of experimental replicates, and the statistical method for data analysis should all be chosen based on the scientific goals of the investigator. This overview presents a discussion of the relative merits and limitations of various methods with respect to some common applications of microarray experiments. Curr. Protoc. Mol.

Robust Dosage PCR (RD‐PCR) for Highly Accurate Dosage Analysis
Authors: Nguyen Vu Q. , Liu Qiang , Sommer Steve S. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractClinical diagnostic and epidemiological assays would benefit from accurate detection of duplications and deletions commonly missed by conventional methods of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of individual exons. Robust dosage‐PCR (RD‐PCR) is a quantitative PCR method that co‐amplifies a target template and an endogenous internal control (an autosomal and an X‐chromosomal segment) for detection of these mutations. RD‐PCR has the advantage of high accuracy and consistency, rapid assay development, widely available controls, and gene dosage over a wide dynamic range. Curr. Protoc. Hum.

Establishing and Maintaining System Linearity
Authors: Wood James C. S. 
Published: January 2009

AbstractA flow cytometer system transforms a received optical signal into an electrical signal whose amplitude ideally is directly proportional to the optical signal but in practice is at least related in a linear fashion. Establishment and maintenance of system linearity are prerequisites to accurate quantitative measurements. The many potential sources of offsets and nonlinearity are found in all parts of the detection, amplification, and data acquisition systems of a flow instrument. This unit aims to help investigators evaluate performance of the hardware in flow cytometer detection systems. Curr. Protocol. Cytom. 47:1.4.1‐1.4.14. © 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Measurement of Cytoplasmic to Nuclear Translocation
Authors: George Thaddeus C. , Morrissey Philip J. , Cui Chongwei , Singh Sukhwinder , Bocarsly Patricia Fitzgerald 
Published: January 2009

AbstractA method is described for the quantitative assessment of the translocation of signaling molecules from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in cells. This method utilizes fluorochrome‐conjugated antibodies to the signaling molecule and a nuclear dye, and it is based on imagery acquired rapidly in flow with the use of a multispectral imaging cytometer. The analysis correlates the spatial distribution of the stained translocating signaling molecule with nuclear staining, and it generates a quantitative score for each cell using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Examples described in this section use reagents that detect NFκB and IRF‐7 and measure the translocation of these molecules under stimulating conditions. A protocol for combining cell surface phenotype with cytoplasm to nuclear translocation is also included. Curr. Protocol. Cytom. 47:9.28.1‐9.28.15. © 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Users' relevance criteria for evaluating answers in a social Q&A site
Authors: Kim Soojung , Oh Sanghee 
Published: January 2009

AbstractThis study examines the criteria questioners use to select the best answers in a social Q&A site (Yahoo! Answers) within the theoretical framework of relevance research. A social Q&A site is a novel environment where people voluntarily ask and answer questions. In Yahoo! Answers, the questioner selects the answer that best satisfies his or her question and leaves comments on it. Under the assumption that the comments reflect the reasons why questioners select particular answers as the best, this study analyzed 2,140 comments collected from Yahoo! Answers during December 2007. The content analysis identified 23 individual relevance criteria in six classes: Content, Cognitive, Utility, Information Sources, Extrinsic, and Socioemotional. A major finding is that the selection criteria used in a social Q&A site have considerable overlap with many relevance criteria uncovered in previous relevance studies, but that the scope of socio‐emotional criteria has been expanded to include the social aspect of this environment. Another significant finding is that the relative importance of individual criteria varies according to topic categories. Socioemotional criteria are popular in discussion‐oriented categories, content‐oriented criteria in topic‐oriented categories, and utility criteria in self‐help categories. This study generalizes previous relevance studies to a new environment by going beyond an academic setting.
Fetal cardiac effects of maternal hyperglycemia during pregnancy
Authors: Corrigan Niamh , Brazil Derek P. , McAuliffe Fionnuala 
Published: January 2009

AbstractMaternal diabetes mellitus is associated with increased teratogenesis, which can occur in pregestational type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Cardiac defects and with neural tube defects are the most common malformations observed in fetuses of pregestational diabetic mothers. The exact mechanism by which diabetes exerts its teratogenic effects and induces embryonic malformations is unclear. Whereas the sequelae of maternal pregestational diabetes, such as modulating insulin levels, altered fat levels, and increased reactive oxygen species, may play a role in fetal damage during diabetic pregnancy, hyperglycemia is thought to be the primary teratogen, causing particularly adverse effects on cardiovascular development. Fetal cardiac defects are associated with raised maternal glycosylated hemoglobin levels and are up to five times more likely in infants of mothers with pregestational diabetes compared with those without diabetes. The resulting anomalies are varied and include transposition of the great arteries, mitral and pulmonary atresia, double outlet of the right ventricle, tetralogy of Fallot, and fetal cardiomyopathy.A wide variety of rodent models have been used to study diabetic teratogenesis. Both genetic and chemically induced models of type 1 and 2 diabetes have been used to examine the effects of hyperglycemia on fetal development. Factors such as genetic background as well as confounding variables such as obesity appear to influence the severity of fetal abnormalities in mice. In this review, we will summarize recent data on fetal cardiac effects from human pregestational diabetic mothers, as well as the most relevant findings in rodent models of diabetic cardiac teratogenesis.

Transradial carotid artery stenting with proximal embolic protection
Authors: Trani Carlo , Burzotta Francesco , Coroleu Santiago Federico 
Published: January 2009

AbstractProximal embolic protection devices (PPDs) are increasingly used during carotid artery stenting (CAS) due to the theoretical advantage of cerebral protection during the entire procedure. Transradial approach reduces access site vascular complications and can be useful for CAS in patients at high bleeding risk, with contraindications for prolonged bed rest and when a bovine aortic arch is present. Due to the large size of the available equipment, PPDs have only been employed by transfemoral approach. Recently, one PPD (MoMa, Invatec, Roncadelle, Italy) has become available in 8 Fr configuration. Such improved design may theoretically permit its introduction in the radial artery. Here we report three cases of severe internal carotid artery stenosis successfully treated by CAS with 8 Fr MoMa using transradial approach, showing the technical feasibility of such procedure. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
