description: Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in December 2019 and rapidly spread globally. Since there is still no specific treatment available, prevention of disease spread is crucial to manage the pandemic. Adequate public information is very important. To assess the optimal timing, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between web-based interest and new cases and deaths due to COVID-19. Web-based interest for queries related to ‘coronavirus’ was assessed between 1 January and 19 June 2020, using Google Trends in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States of America. Reliability analysis of the used search terms was performed using the intraclass correlation coefficient. To investigate the association between web-based interest and new COVID-19 cases or deaths, the relative search volume was analysed for correlation with new cases and deaths. Reliability analysis revealed excellent reliability for COVID-19 search terms in all countries. Web-based interest peaked between 23 February and 5 April 2020, which was prior to the peak of new infections and deaths in most included countries. There was a moderate to strong correlation between COVID-19 related queries and new cases or new deaths. Web-based interest in COVID-19 peaked prior to the peak of new infections and deaths in most countries included. Thus, monitoring public interest via Google Trends might be useful to select the optimal-timing of web-based disease-specific information and preventive measures.

description: Introdução: apesar das opções para correcção do astigmatismo corneano aquando da cirurgia de catarata, especialmente o uso de lentes intraoculares tóricas, existem poucos dados relativos à prevalência e magnitude do astigmatismo corneano em doentes portugueses. O objectivo deste estudo foi proceder a essa análise e realçar a importância do reconhecimento e tratamento do astigmatismo durante a cirurgia de catarata. Material e Métodos: foi realizada tomografia corneana com Pentacam HR® a doentes propostos para cirurgia de catarata na consulta geral de oftalmologia do Hospital de Egas Moniz. Foram excluídos doentes com astigmatismos irregulares ou outras patologias oculares importantes associadas. Procedeu-se à análise da queratometria e astigmatismo das faces anterior e posterior da córnea. Resultados: foram avaliados 234 olhos de 117 doentes com idade média de 74.45 ± 7.66 anos. O astigmatismo corneano da face anterior médio foi de 0.98 ± 0.74D (0.1 – 3.4D), com 39% dos olhos com valores superiores a 1.00D e apenas 32% dos olhos com um astigmatismo inferior a 0.50D. O astigmatismo da face anterior foi oblíquo na maioria dos olhos (48%). O astigmatismo da face posterior médio foi de 0.28 ± 0.15D (0.1 – 0.9 D), com o eixo mais curvo alinhado verticalmente em 68% dos olhos. Conclusões: mais de um terço dos casos propostos para cirurgia de catarata apresenta astigmatismo corneano anterior superior a 1.00D. O astigmatismo posterior médio foi de 0.28D. Estes dados devem ser tidos em consideração ao planear a cirurgia de catarata para obtenção dos melhores resultados visuais e refractivos possíveis.

description: Solid tumors are becoming prevalent affecting both old and young populations. Numerous solid tumors are associated with high cMET expression. The complexity of solid tumors combined with the highly interconnected nature of the cMET/HGF pathway with other cellular pathways make the pursuit of finding an effective treatment extremely challenging. The current standard of care for these malignancies is mostly small molecule-based chemotherapy. Antibody-based therapeutics as well as antibody drug conjugates are promising emerging classes against cMET-overexpressing solid tumors. In this study, we described the design, synthesis, in vitro and in vivo characterization of cMET-targeting Fab drug conjugates (FDCs) as an alternative therapeutic strategy. The format is comprised of a Fab conjugated to a potent cytotoxic drug via a cleavable linker employing lysine-based and cysteine-based conjugation chemistries. We found that the FDCs have potent anti-tumor efficacies in cancer cells with elevated overexpression of cMET. Moreover, they demonstrated a remarkable anti-tumor effect in a human gastric xenograft mouse model. The FDC format has the potential to overcome some of the challenges presented by the other classes of therapeutics. This study highlights the promise of antibody fragment-based drug conjugate formats for the treatment of solid tumors.

description: Significant positional offsets of the value from 1 mas to more than 10 mas were found previously between radio (VLBI) and optical (Gaia) positions of active galactic nuclei (AGN). They happen preferentially parallel to the parsec-scale jet direction. AGN with VLBI-to-Gaia offsets pointed downstream the jet are found to have favourably higher optical polarization, as expected if extended optical jets dominate in the emission and shift the Gaia centroid away from the physical nucleus of the source. Upstream offsets with the suggested domination of accretion disks manifest themselves through the observed low optical polarization. Direction of linear optical polarization is confirmed to preferentially align with parsec-scale jets in AGN with dominant jets consistent with a toroidal magnetic field structure. Our findings support the disk-jet interpretation of the observed positional offsets. These results call on an intensification of AGN optical polarization monitoring programs in order to collect precious observational data. Taken together with the continued VLBI and Gaia observations, they will allow researchers to reconstruct detailed models of the disk-jet system in AGN on parsec scales.

description: Objective: To report a case of retinal toxicity associated with efavirenz in an adult. Methods: We describe a case of gradual-onset blurry vision in both eyes in a 37-year-old HIV caucasian woman, on antiretroviral therapy (ART), including efavirenz. Results: The patient presented with a best corrected visual acuity of 20/100 for the right eye (RE) and 20/125 for the left eye (LE). Fundoscopy revealed mottled atrophic changes of the macular retinal pigment epi- thelium (RPE) in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography revealed an annular pattern of RPE atrophy in both eyes. Full-field electretinography (ERG) was normal. Conclusions: Based on our patient ́s history and on previous reports, efavirenz seems to be the culprit in this case. Our report provides evidence in support of routine ophthalmological evalua- tion of patients on efavirenz.

description: Dynamical aspects of cosmological model in an extended gravity theory have been investigated in the present work. We have adopted a simplified approach to obtain cosmic features, which in fact requires more involved calculations. A cosmological model is constructed using a hybrid scale factor that simulates a cosmic transit behaviour. The deceleration parameter and energy conditions have been obtained for the constructed model. Scalar fields have been reconstructed from the present model in the extended gravity. Different diagnostic methods have been applied to analyse the viability of the constructed model. The present model almost looks like a cosmological constant for a substantial cosmic time zone and does not show any slowing down feature in near future.

description: Purpose: To evaluate the variation in keratometric index (KI) in eyes with keratoconus (KC), before and after the implantation of Intacs SK (Addition Technology Inc); Patients and Methods: 19 eyes with keratoconus, before and after Intacs-SK implantation (minimum follow-up of 6 months), and a control group of 26 healthy eyes were retrospectively studied. The anterior (ARC) and posterior radius of curvature (PRC), the ratio between them (ratio ARC/PRC) and the mean pupil power (MPP) were evaluated for the central 3 mm, using a tomographic system combining Scheimpflug photography and placido-disc analysis. The KI was calculated using the paraxial formula for thin lens, assuming the MPP (accessed by ray-tracing) as the true corneal power; Results: The mean values for ARC, PRC, ratio ARC/PRC and KI were, respectively, for the control group and for the keratoconic eyes before surgery: 7,71±0,30 e 6,78±0,52mm (p<0,05); 6,35±0,67 e 5,59±0,86mm (p<0,05), 1,236±0,220 e 1,234±0,159 (p>0,05); e 1,3317±0,0031 e 1,3321±0,0521 (p>0,05). In keratoconic eyes, after a mean follow-up of 9,47 months after Intacs-SK implantation, the ARC increased to 7,26±0,56mm (p<0,001), and the PRC increased to 5,63±0,95mm(p>0,05), which was not statistically significant. The mean ratio ARC/PRC increased to 1,314±0,190 (p<0,05) and the mean KI decreased to 1,3285±0,0817 (p<0,05); Conclusions: After Intacs-SK implantation, only the anterior cornea surface seems to be significantly flattened, with a consequent decrease in the KI. Thus, the standardized KI values may not be suitable for intra-ocular lens calculation in these patients. No statistical differences were found in the ratio ARC/PRC and in the KI between normal and keratoconic eyes.

description: A formal analysis is conducted on the exactness of various forms of unitary coupled cluster (UCC) theory based on particle-hole excitation and de-excitation operators. Both the conventional single exponential UCC parameterization and a disentangled (factorized) version are considered. We formulate a differential cluster analysis to determine the UCC amplitudes corresponding to a general quantum state. The exactness of conventional UCC (ability to represent any state) is explored numerically and it is formally shown to be determined by the structure of the critical points of the UCC exponential mapping. A family of disentangled UCC wave functions are shown to exactly parameterize any state, thus showing how to construct Trotter-error-free parameterizations of UCC for applications in quantum computing. From these results, we derive an exact disentangled UCC parameterization that employs an infinite sequence of particle-hole or general one- and two-body substitution operators.

description: Objetivo: Estudar eventuais alterações na câmara anterior (CA) objetivadas com Câmara de Scheimpflug (Oculus - Pentacam®) por comparação do olho a ser operado e/ou adelfo com as alterações obtidas no pós-operatório precoce após a realização de trabeculectomia segundo uma técnica modificada – Moorfields Safer Surgery (Trab MSS). Métodos: Trab MSS - Realizou-se trabeculectomia com flap conjuntival de base fórnix, disseção da conjuntiva alargada, área de aplicação de mitomicina extensa, utilização de estabilizador de CA com infusão contínua de solução salina balanceada (BSS), esclerostomia estandardizada com punch e combinação de suturas fixas e ajustáveis/removíveis, em 12 olhos de 12 doentes consecutivos. As principais variáveis avaliadas antes da cirurgia e no dia 1 (D1), semana 1 (S1) e mês 1 (M1) foram: pressão intraocular (PIO), volume da câmara anterior (VCA) e profundidade da câmara anterior (PCA). Fatores de exclusão: cirurgia prévia de catarata ou glaucoma, anisometropias superiores a 1,00 dioptria (D) e erro refrativo superior a -5,00 ou +4,00D de esfera ou 2,00D de cilindro. Resultados: A PIO pré-operatória foi de 31,3±7,27mmHg, 7,6±2,8mmHg em D1, 7,9±1,6 mmHg em S1, e 12,2±3,0mmHg em M1. As diferenças encontradas em relação ao VCA pré-operatório foram: 18,0±8,72 mm3 (11,93% p=0,065) em D1, 18,71±3,8 mm3 (11,44%, p=0,003) em S1, 1,2±7,6 mm3 (0,74%, p=0,879) em M1. Em relação à PCA: 0,17±0,3 mm (6,01%, p=0,622) em D1, 0,15±0,17 mm (5,15%, p=0,41) em S1, e 0,03±0,3 mm (0,74%, p=0,915) em M1. Conclusões: Os resultados obtidos neste estudo indicam que a Trab MSS está associada a pequenas variações dos parâmetros do segmento anterior, e que consequentemente esta técnica está associada a uma relativa estabilidade do mesmo. Tal facto parece conferir a esta técnica um melhor perfil de segurança quando comparada com a trabeculectomia convencional.

description: We consider mean field games with discrete state spaces (called discrete mean field games in the following) and we analyze these games in continuous and discrete time, over finite as well as infinite time horizons. We prove the existence of a mean field equilibrium assuming continuity of the cost and of the drift. These conditions are more general than the existing papers studying finite state space mean field games. Besides, we also study the convergence of the equilibria of N -player games to mean field equilibria in our four settings. On the one hand, we define a class of strategies in which any sequence of equilibria of the finite games converges weakly to a mean field equilibrium when the number of players goes to infinity. On the other hand, we exhibit equilibria outside this class that do not converge to mean field equilibria and for which the value of the game does not converge. In discrete time this non-convergence phenomenon implies that the Folk theorem does not scale to the mean field limit.

Desenho o estudo, participantes e métodos: Estudo prospectivo que incluiu 190 olhos de 95 crianças que foram submetidas a avaliação oftalmológica entre Janeiro e Agosto de 2013. Os va- lores obtidos com a medição do plusoptix A09® foram comparados com os valores obtidos pelo método padrão, a esquiascopia sob cicloplegia, usando o software SPSS 20.0®. Resultados: Nesta amostra 49% das crianças eram do sexo feminino e 51% do sexo masculino, com idade média de 4,8 anos. O valor médio de esfera obtido com o plusoptix® foi de 1,04 +/- 1,1D e com a esquiascopia foi de 1,38 +/-1,8D, com diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as duas técnicas (p<0,01). O equivalente esférico médio obtido com o plusoptix® foi de 0,64 +/- 0,97D e com a esquiascopia de 1,31 +/- 1,72D, verificando-se que também aqui há diferença es- tatisticamente significativa (p<0.01). Relativamente ao eixo do astigmatismo, verificou-se uma diferença inferior a 20 graus entre as duas técnicas em 85,6% dos casos. O plusoptix® demons- trou ter 90% de sensibilidade – mais falível em valores limítrofes -; 86,7% de especificidade; 64,3% de valor preditivo positivo e 97% de valor preditivo negativo para a detecção de risco de ambliopia por ametropia ou anisometropia. Conclusão: Consideramos que a fotorrefracção pode ser usada como método de rastreio de risco de ambliopia por erro refractivo, contudo em valores limítrofes aconselhamos a confirmação com esquiascopia sob cicloplegia.

description: The support needs of people with neurodevelopmental disorders are not sufficiently met during the initial years of adulthood. To evaluate feasibility and preliminary effects of a novel programme designed to empower young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to make progress within significant life domains (i.e. work, education, finance, housing/household management, health, leisure/participation in society, and relationships/social network). TRANSITION is a 24-week programme that combines group-based workshops with personalised support based on goal attainment scaling. The study enrolled 26 young adults (50% females; age 17–24 years) in the normative intellectual range, diagnosed with ASD (n = 8), ADHD (n = 4), or both (n = 14). The intervention was delivered by the regular staff of publicly funded psychiatric services in Stockholm, Sweden. The programme was possible to implement with minor deviations from the manual. Participants and staff generally viewed the intervention positively, but also provided feedback to guide further improvement. There was a high degree of attendance throughout, with 21 participants (81%) completing the programme. All completers exceeded their predefined goal expectations within at least one domain. The TRANSITION-programme is a promising concept that deserves further evaluation.

O objectivo deste artigo é apresentar um caso clínico revelador das manifestações oftalmológicas e sistémicas da doença de VHL. Métodos: Doente do sexo feminino de 22 anos, saudável, observada em 1998 por manifestações neurológicas secundárias a dois hemangioblastomas cerebelosos; foi diagnosticada a doença de VHL. Em 2006, detectou-se um descolamento de retina exsudativo secundário a um hemangio- blastoma capilar retiniano (HCR) no olho esquerdo (OE); no mesmo ano, este olho foi enucleado por globo cego doloroso. Em Março de 2011, um HCR foi diagnosticado no olho direito (OD) e tratado com fotocoagulação laser; posteriormente, por ausência de resposta ao laser, realizou-se radioterapia em placas com rutenium. Em Novembro de 2011, apresentava um tumor esbranqui- çado na periferia inferior com algum grau de fibrose e alterações pigmentares sequelares da ra- dioterapia no OD e exposição central do implante de silicone na cavidade orbitária esquerda que foi corrigida com enxerto de esclerótica de dador humano. Alguns meses mais tarde, apresentava nova exposição da prótese; removeu-se o implante de silicone e substituiu-se por um implante de biocerâmica. Em 2014, a doente apresenta uma acuidade visual não corrigida de 9/10, sem evidência de novas lesões tumorais e com uma prótese ocular bem adaptada. Conclusões: A doença de VHL exige uma equipa multidisciplinar para diagnosticar e tratar precocemente as consequências devastadoras desta doença e, assim, optimizar a qualidade de vida destes doentes.

Using this we study some relevant effectivity conditions associated with sofic chunks and their profiles.

description: We present Vlasov's equation and its association with Poisson's equation in the context of modelling self-gravitating systems such as Globular Clusters or Galaxies. We first review the classical hypotheses of the model. We continue with a presentation of the Hamilton-Morrison structure of Vlasov's equation to study the equilibrium and the stability of self-gravitating systems. Finally, we present some preliminary results concerning some properties of the time dependent solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system.

description: Background: The support needs of people with neurodevelopmental disorders are not sufficiently met during the initial years of adulthood. Aim: To evaluate feasibility and preliminary effects of a novel programme designed to empower young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to make progress within significant life domains (i.e. work, education, finance, housing/household management, health, leisure/participation in society, and relationships/social network). Material and Method: TRANSITION is a 24-week programme that combines group-based workshops with personalised support based on goal attainment scaling. The study enrolled 26 young adults (50% females; age 17–24 years) in the normative intellectual range, diagnosed with ASD (n = 8), ADHD (n = 4), or both (n = 14). The intervention was delivered by the regular staff of publicly funded psychiatric services in Stockholm, Sweden. Results: The programme was possible to implement with minor deviations from the manual. Participants and staff generally viewed the intervention positively, but also provided feedback to guide further improvement. There was a high degree of attendance throughout, with 21 participants (81%) completing the programme. All completers exceeded their predefined goal expectations within at least one domain. Conclusions: The TRANSITION-programme is a promising concept that deserves further evaluation.

description: The epidemiology of respiratory virus infections (RVI) in patients undergoing autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) is not well described. Our goal was to describe the epidemiology of respiratory virus infections (RVI) in patients undergoing autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) in a single tertiary centre observation study during two respiratory virus seasons (2015–2017). All symptomatic auto-SCT patients were tested for RVI by nasopharyngeal swab. 156 transplantation episodes were included, 69% were male and, the median age was 57 years. We detected 19 RVIs in 156 transplantation episodes (12%). The median time to RVI after hospitalization was 13 days [IQR 7–13] and 15/19 (79%) had a possible nosocomial origin (occurrence ≥ 5 days after admission). The nosocomial infections included 5/15 (33%) ‘severe’ RVIs (3 influenza viruses, 1 parainfluenza virus, and 1 adenovirus) as well as 10/15 (66%) non-severe virus infections (including human rhinovirus and human coronavirus). In approximately 10% of auto-SCT transplantation episodes, an RVI with likely nosocomial origin was detected and included ‘severe viruses’ such as influenza. Our study suggests that infection prevention measures in auto-SCT patients can be improved.

description: Ultrafast optical pump of exciton resonance in single quantum dot by an elliptically polarized laser pulse is described by the non-Markov balance equations. Population and spin dynamics are investigated and spin-dependent Rabi oscillations are considered for the case of a flat quantum dot, with the lateral size greater than the height. The following peculiarities of temporal evolution have been found: a) a beating of Rabi oscillations under an elliptically polarized pump and b) quenching of spin orientation due to a spin-orbit splitting effect.

description: Computer vision-based accident detection through video surveillance has become a beneficial but daunting task. In this paper, a neoteric framework for detection of road accidents is proposed. The proposed framework capitalizes on Mask R-CNN for accurate object detection followed by an efficient centroid based object tracking algorithm for surveillance footage. The probability of an accident is determined based on speed and trajectory anomalies in a vehicle after an overlap with other vehicles. The proposed framework provides a robust method to achieve a high Detection Rate and a low False Alarm Rate on general road-traffic CCTV surveillance footage. This framework was evaluated on diverse conditions such as broad daylight, low visibility, rain, hail, and snow using the proposed dataset. This framework was found effective and paves the way to the development of general-purpose vehicular accident detection algorithms in real-time.

description: Uniform neutron matter is approximated by a cubic box containing a finite number of neutrons, with periodic boundary conditions. We report variational and Green's function Monte Carlo calculations of the ground state of fourteen neutrons in a periodic box using the Argonne $\vep $ two-nucleon interaction at densities up to one and half times the nuclear matter density. The effects of the finite box size are estimated using variational wave functions together with cluster expansion and chain summation techniques. They are small at subnuclear densities. We discuss the expansion of the energy of low-density neutron gas in powers of its Fermi momentum. This expansion is strongly modified by the large nn scattering length, and does not begin with the Fermi-gas kinetic energy as assumed in both Skyrme and relativistic mean field theories. The leading term of neutron gas energy is ~ half the Fermi-gas kinetic energy. The quantum Monte Carlo results are also used to calibrate the accuracy of variational calculations employing Fermi hypernetted and single operator chain summation methods to study nucleon matter over a larger density range, with more realistic Hamiltonians including three-nucleon interactions.

How the Natural Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Avoids the Recent No-go Theorem
Creators: name: Rizzi, Anthony
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A recent no-go theorem gives an extension of the Wigner's friend argument that purports to prove that "Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself." The argument is complex and thought provoking, but fails in a straightforward way if one treats QM as a statistical theory in the most fundamental sense, i.e. if one applies the so-called ensemble interpretation. This explanation is given here at an undergraduate level, which can be edifying for experts and students alike. A recent paper has already shown that the no-go theorem is incorrect with regard to the de Broglie Bohm theory and misguided in some of its general claims. This paper's contribution is three fold. It shows how the extended Wigner's friend argument fails in the ensemble interpretation. It also makes more evident how natural a consistent statistical treatment of the wave function is. In this way, the refutation of the argument is useful for bringing out the core statistical nature of QM. It, in addition, manifests the unnecessary complications and problems introduced by the collapse mechanism that is part of the Copenhagen interpretation. The paper uses the straightforwardness of the ensemble interpretation to make the no-go argument and its refutation more accessible.
