description: Hydrogels of polymerized and crosslinked macromers comprising hydrophilic oligomers having biodegradable monomeric or oligomeric extensions, which biodegradable extensions are terminated on free ends with end cap monomers or oligomers capable of polymerization and cross linking are described. The hydrophilic core itself may be degradable, thus combining the core and extension functions. Macromers are polymerized using free radical initiators under the influence of long wavelength ultraviolet light, visible light excitation or thermal energy. Biodegradation occurs at the linkages within the extension oligomers and results in fragments which are non-toxic and easily removed from the body. Preferred applications for the hydrogels include prevention of adhesion formation after surgical procedures, controlled release of drugs and other bioactive species, temporary protection or separation of tissue surfaces, adhering of sealing tissues together, and preventing the attachment of cells to tissue surfaces.

Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and infant growth and adiposity: the Healthy Start Study

description: Background: Prenatal exposures to certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been linked to lower weight and adiposity at birth but greater weight and adiposity in childhood. We hypothesized that faster growth in early infancy may be associated with maternal PFAS concentrations. Methods: Among 415 mother-infant pairs in a longitudinal cohort study, we estimated associations between maternal pregnancy serum concentrations of six PFAS and offspring weight and adiposity at ~5 months of age, and growth in early infancy. Linear and logistic regression models were adjusted for potential confounders including maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index. Effect modification by infant sex was evaluated. We evaluated potential confounding by correlated exposures via multipollutant linear regression and elastic net penalized regression. Results: Associations between maternal PFAS concentrations and infant weight and adiposity differed by offspring sex. In male infants, maternal perfluorooctanoate and perfluorononanoate were positively associated with adiposity, with percent fat mass increases of 1.5–1.7% per ln-ng/mL increase in PFAS (median adiposity at ~5 months: 24.6%). Maternal perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) were associated with lower weight-for-age z-score among female infants only (−0.26 SD per ln-ng/mL PFOS, 95% CI −0.43, −0.10; −0.17 SD per ln-ng/mL PFHxS, 95% CI −0.33, −0.01). In analyses pooled by sex, 2-(N-methyl-perfluorooctane sulfonamido) acetate above vs. below the limit of detection was associated with greater odds of rapid growth in weight-for-age (odds ratio [OR] 2.2, 95% CI 1.1, 4.3) and weight-for-length (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.8, 6.2). Multipollutant models generally confirmed the results and strengthened some associations. Discussion: We observed sex- and chemical-specific associations between maternal serum PFAS concentrations and infant weight and adiposity. Multipollutant models suggested confounding by correlated PFAS with opposing effects. Although maternal PFAS concentrations are inversely associated with infant weight and adiposity at birth, rapid gain may occur in infancy, particularly in fat mass.

description: Texaphyrins are provided for use as radiation sensitizers. Advantageous properties of texaphyrins for use as a radiation sensitizer include: i) a low redox potential which allows radiation-induced hydrated electrons to flow to texaphyrin rather than neutralizing hydroxyl radicals, allowing hydroxyl radicals to cause cellular damage, ii) a relatively stable texaphyrin radical that reacts readily to covalently modify neighboring molecules causing further cellular damage, iii) intrinsic biolocalization, and iv) indifference to the presence or absence of O.sub.2. These properties allow texaphyrins to be particularly effective for treating the hypoxic areas of solid neoplasms. Methods of treatment for an individual having a neoplasm or atheroma include the use of a texaphyrin as a radiation sensitizer and as an agent for photodynamic tumor therapy, or the use of a texaphyrin for internal and for external ionizing radiation. Novel texaphyrins are provided.

description: An apparatus and methods for spectroscopic detection of tissue abnormality, particularly precancerous cervical tissue, using neural networks to analyze in vivo measurements of fluorescence spectra. The invention excites fluorescence intensity spectra in both normal and abnormal tissue. This fluorescence spectroscopy data is used to train a group (ensemble) of neural networks, preferably radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. Once trained, fluorescence spectroscopy data from unknown tissue samples is classified by the trained neural networks. This process is used to differentiate pre-cancers from normal tissues, and can also be used to differentiate high grade pre-cancers from low grade pre-cancers. One embodiment of the invention is able to distinguish pre-cancerous tissue from both normal squamous tissue (NS) and normal columnar (NC) tissue in a single-stage of analysis. The invention demonstrates significantly smaller variability in classification accuracy, resulting in more reliable classification, with superior sensitivity. Moreover, the single-stage embodiment of the invention simplifies the decision-making process as compared to a two-stage embodiment.

description: Certain non-nucleoside compounds that will selectively inhibit telomerase by targeting the nucleic add structures, such as G-quadruplexes, that may be associated with human telomeres or telomerase have been identified. Inhibition of human telomerase by two perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimides and a carbocyanine has been demonstrated. .sup.1 H-NMR studies have evidenced the stabilization of a G-quadruplex by the perylenetetracarboxylic acid diimide compounds and provided evidence that these and structurally related compounds inhibit the telomerase enzyme by a mechanism consistent with interaction with G-quadruplex structures.

A sample is irradiated with a fluorescence excitation fiber and radiation is collected from the sample with a fluorescence collection fiber and detected to form fluorescence spectra. The sample is also illuminated with a reflectance illumination fiber and reflected light from the sample is collected at a plurality of collection positions and detected to form spatially resolved reflectance spectra. The fibers may form a probe arranged in concentric sections. The spectra are analyzed by pre-processing and reducing the dimensionality of the spectral data.

description: The main goal of this study was to consider and compare the effects of different spatial resolutions of covariates from different sources on predicting SOC in a semi-arid region located in the west of Iran. For this purpose, 67 topsoil samples (0–30 cm) with the measured SOC contents were used as the dependent variable. The covariates controlling the SOC content from different sources were provided in two scenarios. For the first scenario (scenario I), six covariate sets with spatial resolution ranging from 2 to 30 m, and original and aggregated pixel sizes were prepared using the digital elevation models (DEMs) and remote sensing data to predict SOC. In the second scenario (scenario II), the available legacy data, including geology, land use and soil texture maps, were prepared with compatible spatial resolution and added to each covariate set provided for scenario I. After feature selection analysis, the modelling processes were performed using two machine learning models, namely, Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results of performance analysis, as obtained by leave one out cross validation (LOOCV), showed that the RF and covariate set B (with 10 m spatial resolution) in scenario I, with R2 = 0.21, CCC = 0.41, MAE = 0.26 and RMSE = 0.34%, and also, in scenario II, with R2 = 0.32, CCC = 0.51, MAE = 0.24, and RMSE = 0.32%, had a better performance in predicting SOC. In addition, the remote sensing data were identified as the most important variables controlling the spatial distribution of SOC. Finally, by using the RF model as the superior model, the SOC map provided by the covariate set B in scenario II, which was the combination of the three types of covariates (DEM, remote sensing data and legacy data), was shown to have the lowest uncertainty in comparison to the SOC provided by the covariate set B in scenario I. In general, our results showed that the model type, source, resolution and the combination of these variables could greatly influence the prediction outputs. In fact, the SOC map provided with the combination of parsimonious variables at the optimal pixel size could help decision-making in environmental resources management.

description: Nylon coated microcapsules containing hydrophilic solvent-soluble anionic, cationic or quaternary drug salts were prepared by interfacial polycondensation techniques. In a first stage, the drug substance to be encapsulated is dissolved in an aqueous phase. Examples of drugs encapsulated are morphine sulfate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, and methantheline bromide. Next the aqueous drug solution is dispersed in an organic phase. In a second stage complementary polycondensation reactants each in an organic phase are added separately, either sequentially or simultaneously, to the dispersion prepared in the first stage. Microcapsules of nylon form around the hydrophilic solvent soluble core drug substance.

description: Der Artikel befasst sich mit der Frage, ob Migrantinnen und Migranten aus EU/EFTA-Staaten und aus Drittstaaten in der Schweiz nachhaltig erwerbsintegriert werden, nachdem sie eine materielle Leistung aus dem System der Sozialen Sicherheit bezogen haben. Zuerst wird in Anlehnung an verschiedene sozialwissenschaftliche Konzepte definiert, was nachhaltige Erwerbsintegration bedeutet. Mit Registerdaten der Jahre 2005 bis 2010 wird analysiert, inwiefern Migrantinnen und Migranten vier Jahre nach dem ersten Leistungsbezug eine nachhaltige Erwerbsreintegration erreicht haben, und welche zugeschriebenen Merkmale und Bildungsniveaus bei den beiden Gruppen zu einem erhöhten Risiko einer nicht nachhaltigen Erwerbsintegration beitragen. Migrantinnen und Migranten aus dem EU-Raum verlassen nach einem ersten Leistungsbezug häufiger das System, indem sie weder Leistungen der Sozialen Sicherheit beziehen noch in der Schweiz erwerbstätig sind, wobei nur ein geringer Geschlechterunterschied besteht. Unter Migrantinnen und Migranten aus Drittstaaten befinden sich insbesondere tertiär Gebildete vermehrt in längerfristiger Abhängigkeit von der Sozialhilfe. Dies zeigt die Notwendigkeit von intersektional differenzierten Analysen der Erwerbs(re)integration.
description: This article addresses the question whether migrants from EU/EFTA countries and from third countries are sustainably integrated into the Swiss labour market after they have received a financial benefit from the social security system. First, we define what sustainable labour market integration means on the basis of various concepts of social sciences. Using register data from 2005 to 2010, we analyse the extent to which migrants have achieved sustainable integration into the labour market four years after first receiving benefits, and which ascribed characteristics and educational levels contribute to an increased risk of unsustainable integration into the labour market for both groups. Migrants from the EU area are more likely to leave the system after receiving benefits for the first time by neither drawing social security benefits nor being gainfully employed in Switzerland, with only little difference by gender. Among migrants from third countries people with a tertiary degree in particular are increasingly dependent on social assistance for longer periods of time. This shows the necessity of intersectionally differentiated analyses of labour market (re)integration.

description: Background: Low rates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake among U.S. adolescents contribute to excess morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 infection. To date, much of the research on vaccine intentions has only assessed parents’ perspectives about their children. Understanding adolescents’ intentions and information sources on COVID-19 vaccination may help in designing effective communications to promote uptake.

Objective: We assessed differences in intention and trusted sources of COVID-19 vaccine information between unvaccinated vaccine-acceptant and vaccine-hesitant U.S. adolescents using national survey data.

Design/Methods: Adolescents, aged 13-17, were recruited through an online survey panel in April 2021. A total of 1,927 adolescents completed screening and our final sample included 985 responses. We only analyzed data from unvaccinated adolescents (n=831). COVID-19 vaccination intent (“vaccine-acceptant” defined as “definitely will” get a COVID-19 vaccine and any other response classified as “vaccine-hesitant”) was our primary measure. Secondary measures included reasons for intending or not intending to get vaccinated and trusted sources of information about COVID-19 vaccination. We calculated descriptive statistics and used chi-square tests to assess potential differences between vaccine-acceptant and vaccine-hesitant adolescents.

Results: Most (n=589; 70.9%) adolescents were vaccine-hesitant, with increased hesitancy among those with lower levels of concern about COVID-19 infection and higher levels of concern about vaccine side effects. Among vaccine-hesitant adolescents, reasons for not intending to get vaccinated included wanting to wait for safety data and having parents who would make the decision. Vaccine-hesitant adolescents had a lower number of trusted information sources (M=2.75) compared to vaccine-acceptant adolescents (M=4.35). The top three sources of trusted information were government officials (45.8% of hesitant adolescents; 80.2% of acceptant adolescents), state/local health officials (38.7% of hesitant adolescents; 70.7% of acceptant adolescents), and usual healthcare provider (37.0% of hesitant adolescents; 64.1% of acceptant adolescents).

Conclusion(s): We identified important differences between COVID-19 vaccine-accepting and vaccine-hesitant adolescents, which can inform communication with hesitant adolescents in terms of message content and dissemination channels. Targeting reasons for hesitancy by using theory-based messaging strategies to address them could prove to be an important next step for developing adolescent-facing communications.

description: Introduction: Due to demographic changes, falls are increasingly becoming a focus of health care. It is known that within six months after a fall, two thirds of fallers will fall again. Therefore, therapeutic procedures to improve balance that are simple and can be performed in a short time are needed. Stochastic resonance whole-body vibration (SR-WBV) may be such a procedure. Method: An electronic search to assess the effectiveness of SR-WBV on balance in the elderly was conducted using databases that included CINAHL Cochrane, PEDro, and PubMed. Included studies were assessed using the Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool by two independent reviewers. Results: Nine studies showing moderate methodological quality were included. Treatment parameters were heterogeneous. Vibration frequency ranged from 1 to 12 Hz. Six studies found statistically significant improvements of balance from baseline to post measurement after SR-WBV interventions. One article found clinical relevance of the improvement in total time of the "Expanded Time to Get Up and Go Test". Discussion: Physiological adaptations after balance training are specific and may explain some of the observed heterogeneity. Two out of nine studies assessed reactive balance and both indicated statistically significant improvements after SR-WBV. Therefore, SR-WBV represents a reactive balance training.

description: Real estate near major transportation hubs such as airports often cannot be developed for human habitation due to the noise emissions. However, since such locations are often prime building sites close to major cities surrounded by high quality infrastructure, a research project has been initiated to evaluate the availability and the quality of automated windows allowing the construction of apartment buildings on properties with a high noise level (e.g., close to a major airport). However the Swiss Noise Abatement Ordinance (NAO) requires that such apartments are protected against excessive noise and a suitable indoor climate defined by humidity, temperature, air exchange, pollutant concentrations, and nocturnal cooling to protect against excessive summer heat has to be guaranteed. One of the ideas to comply with the ordinance is to use a time-controlled, automatic actuator to open and close sound insulated windows. To evaluate this idea, the University of Applied Sciences (BFH) conducted a market search to find appropriate sound insulated windows that comply with the requirements of the Swiss Noise Abatement Ordinance (NAO) in respect to airborne sound insulation. Additionally, the project searched for window actuators that allow time-controlled, automatic opening and closing of windows. With a selected set of the products found, representative test samples (sound insulated windows with time-controlled, automatic actuators) were tested for their airborne sound insulation capacity and the noise levels of the time-controlled, automatic actuators in the sound test stand of Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology).

description: An electromagnetic survey method for geophysical exploration, in which the variations in the earth's magnetic field are measured in two, non-parallel directions at one point in the survey area. Simultaneously, the variations in the earth's electrical field parallel to the survey line are measured at a number of points along the survey line. These measured variations are transformed to the frequency domain, and then the horizontal component of the magnetic field orthogonal to the direction of the measured electrical field is calculated. The impedance at each measurement point on the survey line is calculated as a function of frequency, and weighted averages of the impedances for predetermined frequencies using a zero phase length weight function corresponding to a low pass filter are used to calculate the subsurface conductivity distribution.

description: Two sets of hormonal peptides are synthesized which are super agonists of the lutenizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH). Chronic administration results in the inhibition of LHRH which is responsible for stimulating cell growth in the testes. One peptide has the D(dextro)-form of a mono-heterocyclic amino acid in position six (D-3-pyridyl-alanine) while the other peptide has a bi-heterocyclic amino acid in that same position (.beta.-(3-quinolyl)-D-.alpha.-alanine. Both peptides are less metabolically reactive than those in the prior art and yet both peptides are significantly more potent than LHRH itself.
