description: Objective This study aims to assess class III obese women's preferences and concerns regarding cesarean delivery (CD) skin incisions. Study Design Through the National Perinatal Research Consortium (NPRC), women with body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2 at the time of enrollment completed an anonymous survey in English or Spanish. We evaluated seven domains of preferences and concerns about the cesarean skin incision. Results We surveyed 546 women at five NPRC sites. Median age (interquartile range) was 29 (25, 35) years; 364 (66%) were parous and 161 (30%) had a prior CD. Women self-identified race/ethnicity as White (31%), non-Hispanic Black (31%), Hispanic (31%), other (6%), and not reported (1%). A total of 542 women (99%) rated both delivering the baby in the best possible condition and decreasing incision opening/infection risk as important. Women were less likely to rate other domains as important (all p < 0.001), including: having least pain possible, n = 521 (95%); decreasing the risk of complications in the next pregnancy, n = 490 (90%); decreasing interference with breastfeeding, n = 474 (87%); decreasing operative time, n = 388 (71%); and having the least visible incision, n = 369 (68%). Conclusion Women with class III obesity prioritize immediate maternal and fetal safety regarding CD skin incision over other concerns including cosmetic outcome.

description: Background: Limited data exist regarding the neonatal and neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants exposed to marijuana (MJ) in-utero, particularly among preterm infants. We hypothesized that MJ-exposed preterm infants would have worse neonatal and childhood developmental outcomes compared to MJ-unexposed infants. Methods: Secondary analysis of multicenter randomized-controlled trial of antenatal magnesium sulfate for the prevention of cerebral palsy was conducted. Singleton nonanomalous infants delivered <35 weeks exposed to MJ in-utero were compared to MJ-unexposed. Primary neonatal outcome was death, grade 3/4 intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and/or stage II/III necrotizing enterocolitis before discharge. Primary childhood outcome was death, moderate/severe cerebral palsy, or/and Bayley II Scales <70 at age 2. Backward-stepwise regression used to estimate odds of primary outcomes. Results: 1867 infants met inclusion criteria; 135(7.2%) were MJ-exposed. There were no differences in neonatal (20% vs. 26%, p = 0.14) or childhood (26% vs. 21%, p = 0.21) outcomes in MJ-exposed infants compared to MJ-unexposed infants. In adjusted models, MJ-exposure was not associated with adverse neonatal outcomes (aOR 0.83 95% CI 0.47,1.44) or early childhood outcomes (aOR 1.47, 95% CI 0.97,2.23). Conclusions: Among infants born <35 weeks of gestation, MJ-exposure was not associated with adverse neonatal or childhood outcomes. Long-term follow-up studies are needed to assess later childhood neurodevelopmental outcomes following MJ-exposure.

description: In recent years there has been a growing interest in the study of shape formation using modern responsive materials that can be preprogrammed to undergo spatially inhomogeneous local deformations. In particular, nematic liquid crystalline solids offer exciting possibilities in this context. Considerable recent progress has been made in achieving a variety of shape transitions in thin sheets of nematic solids by engineering isolated points of concentrated Gaussian curvature using topological defects in the nematic director field across textured surfaces. In this paper, we consider ways of achieving shape transitions in thin sheets of nematic glass by generation of non-localised Gaussian curvature in the absence of topological defects in the director field. We show how one can blueprint any desired Gaussian curvature in a thin nematic sheet by controlling the nematic alignment angle across the surface and highlight specific patterns which present feasible initial targets for experimental verification of the theory.

Refining pharmacologic research to prevent and treat spontaneous preterm birth
Creators: name: Manuck, T.A.
Publisher: name: Frontiers Research Foundation
Year: 2017

description: Preterm birth (PTB), delivery prior to 37 weeks’ gestation, is the leading cause of mortality among non-anomalous neonates. Survivors carry an increased risk for lifelong intellectual, physical, and social disabilities compared with their term counterparts (Russell et al., 2007; Bodeau-Livinec et al., 2008; Vohr, 2013; Manuck et al., 2014a, 2016b; Natarajan and Shankaran, 2016). In the US alone, more than 450,000 babies are born too soon and 25,000 die as a result (Hamilton et al., 2015). Approximately two-thirds of all PTBs are spontaneous PTB (SPTB), and occur following preterm premature rupture of membranes, cervical insufficiency, and/or uterine contractions leading to cervical dilation. To reduce the burden of SPTB, interventions must target both prematurity prevention prior to the onset of symptoms and acute treatment once the process of acute preterm labor has begun.

description: Preterm birth remains a major cause of neonatal death and short and long-term disability in the US and across the world. The majority of preterm births are spontaneous and cervical length screening is one tool that can be utilized to identify women at increased risk who may be candidates for preventive interventions. The purpose of this document is to review the indications and rationale for CL screening to prevent preterm birth in various clinical scenarios. The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine recommends (1) routine transvaginal cervical length screening for women with singleton pregnancy and history of prior spontaneous preterm birth (grade 1A); (2) routine transvaginal cervical length screening not be performed for women with cervical cerclage, multiple gestation, preterm premature rupture of membranes, or placenta previa (grade 2B); (3) practitioners who decide to implement universal cervical length screening follow strict guidelines (grade 2B); (4) sonographers and/or practitioners receive specific training in the acquisition and interpretation of cervical imaging during pregnancy (grade 2B).

description: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) were used to probe the oxidation state and element specific magnetic moments of Mn in Heusler compounds with different crystallographic structure. The results were compared with theoretical calculations, and it was found that in full Heusler alloys, Mn is metallic (oxidation state near 0) on both sublattices. The magnetic moment is large and localized when octahedrally coordinated by the main group element, consistent with previous theoretical work, and reduced when the main group coordination is tetrahedral. By contrast, in the half Heusler compounds the magnetic moment of the Mn atoms is large and the oxidation state is +1 or +2. The magnetic and electronic properties of Mn in full and half Heusler compounds are strongly dependent on the structure and sublattice, a fact that can be exploited to design new materials.

description: We apply on-shell and integrability methods that have been developed in the context of scattering amplitudes in N=4 SYM theory to tree-level form factors of this theory. Focussing on the colour-ordered super form factors of the chiral part of the stress-tensor multiplet as an example, we show how to systematically construct on-shell diagrams for these form factors with the minimal form factor as further building block in addition to the three-point amplitudes. Moreover, we obtain analytic representations in terms of Graßmannian integrals in spinor helicity, twistor and momentum twistor variables. While Yangian invariance is broken by the operator insertion, we find that the form factors are eigenstates of the integrable spin-chain transfer matrix built from the monodromy matrix that yields the Yangian generators. Constructing them via the method of R operators allows to introduce deformations that preserve the integrable structure. We finally show that the integrable properties extend to minimal tree-level form factors of generic composite operators as well as certain leading singularities of their n-point loop-level form factors.

description: Background Although a weekly injection of 17-hydroxyprogestone caproate is recommended for preventing recurrent preterm birth, clinical experience in North Carolina suggested that many eligible patients were not receiving the intervention. Objective Our study sought to assess how well practices delivering at 2 major hospitals were doing in providing access to 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate treatment for eligible patients. Study Design This retrospective cohort analysis studied all deliveries occurring between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2013, at 2 large hospitals in North Carolina. Women were included if they had a singleton pregnancy and history of a prior spontaneous preterm birth. We extracted demographic, payer, and medical information on each pregnancy, including whether women had been offered, accepted, and received 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate. Our outcome of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate coverage was defined as documentation of ≥1 injection of the drug. Results Over the 2-year study period, 1216 women with history of a prior preterm birth delivered at the 2 study hospitals, of which 627 were eligible for 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate eligible after medical record review. Only 296 of the 627 eligible women (47%; 95% confidence interval, 43-51%) received ≥1 dose of the drug. In multivariable analysis, hospital of delivery, later presentation for prenatal care, fewer prenatal visits, later gestation of prior preterm birth, and having had a term delivery immediately before the index pregnancy were all associated with failed coverage. Among those women who were "covered," the median number of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate injections was 9 (interquartile range, 4-15), with 84 of 296 charts (28%) not having complete information on the number of doses. Conclusion Even under our liberal definition of coverage, less than half of eligible women received 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate in this sample. Low overall use suggests that there is opportunity for improvement. Quality improvement strategies, including population-based measurement of 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate coverage, are needed to fully implement this evidence-based intervention to decrease preterm birth.

description: Botelho, Jamison, and Moln\' ar have recently described the general form of surjective isometries of Grassmann spaces on complex Hilbert spaces under certain dimensionality assumptions. In this paper we provide a new approach to this problem which enables us first, to give a shorter proof and second, to remove dimensionality constraints completely. In one of the low dimensional cases, which was not covered by Botelho, Jamison, and Moln\' ar, an exceptional possibility occurs. As a byproduct, we are able to handle the real case as well. Furthermore, in finite dimensions we remove the surectivity assumption. A variety of tools is used in order to achieve our goal, such as topological, geometrical and linear algebra techniques. The famous two projections theorem for two finite rank projections will be re-proven using linear algebraic methods. A theorem of Györy and the second author on orthogonality preservers on Grassmann spaces will be strengthened as well. This latter result will be obtained by using Chow's fundamental theorem of geometry of Grassmannians.

description: We appreciate Ms Cohain’s interest in our manuscript and concerns regarding the association between oxytocin use and uterine rupture. Unfortunately, oxytocin use was only one obstetric covariate and not our main focus. In addition, the facts presented in Ms Cohain’s letter are incorrect; 4 women with primary uterine rupture were neither induced nor received oxytocin augmentation. The claim that “the unscarred uterus that is not artificially forced to contract, will not contract so hard as to explode itself ” should not, as the majority of situations in medicine and in obstetrics, be considered absolute. We speculate that underlying undiagnosed connective tissue aberrations or genetic factors may have influenced the development of uterine rupture in these 4 women. Unfortunately, our study design precludes an investigation of causation.
Infodemiology: a New Presence Concept in Human Information Interaction Based on Eysenbachâs View
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: This research aims to study the presence contexts of infodemiology and the introduction and expansion of its framework. Based on Eysenbach’s View, infodemiology can be defined as the science of distribution and determinants of information in an electronic medium, specifically the Internet, or in a population, with the ultimate aim to inform public health and public policy. In this review article, library method has been used to define and describe the term “infodemiology” and its dimensions. In this study after an introduction investigating the present setting, and defining the concept of infodemiology, the framework of this science and its measurements has been studied and finally the relationship between infodemiology and public health has been described. According to the results, digital media technologies resulted in paradigm shift in choosing the ways in which people search their health information. The researches in this domain have been resulted in credible and significant measurements to track health information supply and demand. Also, infodemiological researches cause specialists design and develop health information databanks based on given measurements. The studies show that there is the possibility of applying some measurements as alarm systems for proliferating infection diseases or presence of new diseases. These measurements are called “infodemiology measurements” which reflect supply-based infodemiology and demand-based infodemiology. According to these, data collecting in this field and using its measurements could be useful in policy-making.
A note on multiple imputation for method of moments estimation

description: Multiple imputation is a popular imputation method for general purpose estimation. Rubin(1987) provided an easily applicable formula for the variance estimation of multiple imputation. However, the validity of the multiple imputation inference requires the congeniality condition of Meng(1994), which is not necessarily satisfied for method of moments estimation. This paper presents the asymptotic bias of Rubin's variance estimator when the method of moments estimator is used as a complete-sample estimator in the multiple imputation procedure. A new variance estimator based on over-imputation is proposed to provide asymptotically valid inference for method of moments estimation.

description: Worldwide, 15 million babies are born too soon every year, causing 1.1 million deaths, as well as short and long-term disability in countless survivors. In high-income countries, preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of death in children <5 years, and globally it is second only to pneumonia. Few prognostic tests are available to predict which pregnancies will deliver preterm. The majority (2/3) of PTBs are spontaneous, and recurrence risks are high; a history of a prior spontaneous PTB is historically the strongest risk factor for spontaneous PTB.

The effectiveness of domestic Scientific research on Iran development Indicators
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: In recent decades, research has growth Increasingly in Iran and, consequently, the country has risen dramatically in world rankings, based on the number of scientific documents. The impressive growth of the number of Iran researches, research experts increasingly focus on "research impact", and repeated emphasize on the issue of "use of research to improve society" in Iran superior governmental documents, leaded some researchers to investigate "how much Iran researches are effective?" They showed that these researches have in general been ineffective. Therefore, their efficacy should be evaluated which is the main purpose of this study. In this regard, using the Descriptive-Analytical method and valid secondary data and statistics, the results of Citation Analysis of Iran research outcomes were compared with other countries. Central questions of this study were respectively about «the quality of Iran whole researches (1996-2014)», «the quality of top researches (2005-2014)», «comparing the quality of whole researches with quality of top researches», and «the quality of Iran's Persian (2011-2012) and English (2014) scientific journals». For this purpose, based on the reliable data from valid databases (Thomson Reuters, Scopus and ISC), the value and rank of Iran at different citation related indices were extracted or calculated. The results, including «few citations per paper (5/7) which is about half of the global average (10/3) and declining trend of Iran rank based on this index», «poor country rank based on the share of top papers in all documents (128)», «small share of global citations (47.0%), despite a significant share in the world Scientific document (1/1%)», «low h-index despite the large number of articles», «inappropriate position in the basis of self-citation (more than 50% in 2014) in addition to a declining trend», «few citations per paper (76/7) which is about half of the global average (144/9)», «small share of global citations to top papers (0/18%) compared with the share of Iran in top papers(0/41%)», and the fact that «the average of 0/91% of Persian scientific journals' IF was 0/037 and just 1% of them had more than 0/5 IFs» imply that the quality of Iran researches has been both poor and decreasing. Therefore, during recent decades, despite an impressive growth in the number of Iran researches, these researches have had a poor and regressive «efficacy».

description: The connection between symmetries and conservation laws as made by Noether's theorem is extended to the context of causal variational principles and causal fermion systems. Different notions of continuous symmetries are introduced. It is proven that these symmetries give rise to corresponding conserved quantities, expressed in terms of so-called surface layer integrals. In a suitable limiting case, the Noether-like theorems for causal fermion systems reproduce charge conservation and the conservation of energy and momentum in Minkowski space. Thus the conservation of charge and energy-momentum are found to be special cases of general conservation laws which are intrinsic to causal fermion systems.

Evaluation  the predictive indicators of scientific impact to increase the citations of articles in scientific journals
Publisher: name: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc)
Year: 2017

description: The aim of this study is to provide some criteria for reviewers in their process of evaluating the articles so as to help them predict future citations to these article based on their quality. This study deploys a descriptive - correlation and applied research. In this study, about 5 magazines as an example were selected among the Chemistry journals indexed in Scopus. Also among the 926 articles, 300 articles were examined stratified random sampling during the 2011 – 2015.The results indicated that "co-authorship" is the strongest predictor variable for predicting citation positively and significantly. Furthermore, variables of length of the article, number of references & H-index can also predict the citation Rate significantly. Along with the traditional criteria for evaluating article, the reviewers can also include other effective indicators in their evaluation process of articles, and, in turn, increase the visibility and citation rate of the articles. This makes it possible for the reviewers to deploy a reliable measuring tool for examining the quality of scholarly papers and predict the citation Rate.

description: Local galaxies are broadly divided into two main classes, star-forming (gas-rich) and quiescent (passive and gas-poor). The primary mechanism responsible for quenching star formation in galaxies and transforming them into quiescent and passive systems is still unclear. Sudden removal of gas through outflows or stripping is one of the mechanisms often proposed. An alternative mechanism is so-called "strangulation", in which the supply of cold gas to the galaxy is halted. Here we report that the difference between quiescent and star forming galaxies in terms of stellar metallicity (i.e. the fraction of metals heavier than helium in stellar atmospheres) can be used to discriminate efficiently between the two mechanisms. The analysis of the stellar metallicity in local galaxies, from 26,000 spectra, clearly reveals that strangulation is the primary mechanism responsible for quenching star formation, with a typical timescale of 4 billion years, at least for local galaxies with a stellar mass less than 10^11 solar masses. This result is further supported independently by the stellar age difference between quiescent and star-forming galaxies, which indicates that quiescent galaxies of less than 10^11 solar masses are on average observed four billion years after quenching due to strangulation.

description: It is an elementary fact that if we fix an arbitrary set of $d+1$ affine independent points $\{p_0,\dots p_d\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, then the Euclidean distances $\{|x-p_j|\}_{j=0}^d$ determine the point $x$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ uniquely. In this paper we investigate a similar problem in general normed spaces which is motivated by this known fact. Namely, we characterize those, at least $d$-dimensional, real normed spaces $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ such that for every set of $d+1$ affine independent points $\{p_0,\dots p_d\} \subset X$, the distances $\{\|x-p_j\|\}_{j=0}^d$ determines the point $x$ lying in the simplex $\mathrm{Conv}(p_0,\dots p_d)$ uniquely. Surprisingly, the characterization depends on $d$.

description: Objective To determine the association between birthweight extremes and risk of adverse neonatal and childhood outcomes following preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Study Design This is a secondary analysis of data from the Beneficial Effects of Antenatal Magnesium Sulfate Trial. Women with nonanomalous singletons and PPROM delivering ≥24.0 weeks were included. Birthweight was classified as small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA), or large for gestational age (LGA). Composite severe neonatal morbidity and childhood outcomes at age 2, were compared between these groups. Results One thousand five hundred and ninety-eight infants were included (58 SGA, 1,354 AGA, and 186 LGA). There was an inverse relationship between birthweight and rate of composite major neonatal morbidity (55.2% of SGA, 31.5% of AGA, 18.3% of LGA, p < 0.001). Former-SGA children were more likely to be diagnosed with major composite childhood morbidity at age 2 (25.9% of SGA, 8.3% of AGA, 5.9% of LGA, p < 0.001). In multivariate models, LGA infants had improved initial neonatal outcomes compared with AGA infants (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28-0.71; p = 0.001). Conclusion Among infants delivered following PPROM, those who were LGA at delivery had improved composite adverse neonatal outcomes. SGA increases the risk of severe neonatal morbidity, early childhood death, and moderate/severe cerebral palsy at age 2.

description: Objective To estimate the association between maternal super obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 50 kg/m2) and neonatal morbidity among neonates born via cesarean delivery (CD). Methods Retrospective cohort of singleton neonates delivered via CD ≥ 37 weeks in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Unit Cesarean Registry. Maternal BMI at delivery was stratified as 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2, 30 to 39.9 kg/m2, 40 to 49.9 kg/m2, and ≥ 50 kg/m2. Primary outcomes included acute (5-minute Apgar score < 5, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and ventilator support < 24 hours, neonatal injury, and/or transient tachypnea of the newborn) and severe (grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, seizure, respiratory distress syndrome, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, meconium aspiration, ventilator support ≥ 2 days, sepsis and/or neonatal death) neonatal morbidity. Odds of neonatal morbidity were estimated for each BMI category adjusting for clinical and operative characteristics. Results Of 41,262 maternal-neonatal dyads, 36% of women were nonobese, 49% had BMI of 30 to 39.9 kg/m2, 12% had BMI of 40 to 49.9 kg/m2, and 3% were super obese. Compared with nonobese women, super obese women had twofold odds of acute (5 vs. 10%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.59-2.73) and severe (3 vs. 6%; aOR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.59-2.73) neonatal morbidity. Conclusion Among term infants delivered via CD, maternal super obesity is associated with increased risk of neonatal morbidity.

description: Recently lots of efforts have been made to obtain the next to leading order and Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal corrections to the thermal dilepton emission rate in perturbative QCD. Here we apply these results to the plasma created in heavy ion collisions and see wether these corrections improve the comparison between theoretical calculations and experimental results for the invariant mass dependence of the dilepton emission rate. In particular, we simulate the quark-gluon plasma produced at RHIC and LHC using a 2+1-dimensional viscous hydro model. We compare our results to STAR experiment and comment on the need for a non-perturbative determination of the dilepton rate at low invariant mass.
