Value of Other Endovascular Techniques Among Patients with MERCI Device Failure during the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background: The MERCI Retrieval system (Concentric Medical, Mountain View, CA) was the first FDA-approved device for mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. It remains one of the most commonly used devices today despite its failure to restore blood flow in approximately 50% of the occlusions after technically successful deployment and retrieval. It remains unclear whether additional endovascular techniques or continued use of MERCI device can achieve recanalization post-MERCI failure. Objective: To analyze the outcome of continued MERCI retriever use compared with other endovascular techniques after initial failure. Methods: Failure of MERCI retriever was defined by successful deployment and retrieval of MERCI across target occlusion without recanalization in a single pass. Pre- and post-treatment cerebral angiogram was classified using the Qureshi Grading Scale (QGS). Recanalization was defined by a reduction in ≥ 1 QGS grade between pre- and post-treatment cerebral angiogram in the Qureshi Grading Scale (QGS).We ascertained and compared the angiographic and clinical results with continued use of MERCI retriever or other endovascular techniques in patients following MERCI failure. Results: A total of 40 patients (53% men) had MERCI retrieval in this cohort with a mean age (±standard deviation) of 66.8 years ± 16 years and a mean admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 16.8 ± 6.7. Of the 40 patients treated with MERCI retrieval, there were 26 patients with MERCI failure. In group 1, there were 11 patients who underwent continued MERCI use and group 2 consisted of 15 patients who underwent an alternate endovascular technique. There was no significant difference in age, risk factors, or outcomes between the groups. The rate of recanalization (82% versus 80%, p = 1.0), asymptomatic intra cerebral hemorrhage (18% versus 13%, p = 0.77) and favorable outcome at discharge (27% versus 20%, p = 0.66) were similar amongst the two groups. Conclusions: Continued attempts using the MERCI device did not result in higher recanalization rates when compared to alternate endovascular treatment modalities following initial MERCI failure. Both techniques produced comparable rates of recanalization and favorable outcome.

description: We present a large catalog of optically selected galaxy clusters from the application of a new Gaussian Mixture Brightest Cluster Galaxy (GMBCG) algorithm to SDSS Data Release 7 data. The algorithm detects clusters by identifying the red sequence plus Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) feature, which is unique for galaxy clusters and does not exist among field galaxies. Red sequence clustering in color space is detected using an Error Corrected Gaussian Mixture Model. We run GMBCG on 8240 square degrees of photometric data from SDSS DR7 to assemble the largest ever optical galaxy cluster catalog, consisting of over 55,000 rich clusters across the redshift range from 0.1 < z < 0.55. We present Monte Carlo tests of completeness and purity and perform cross-matching with X-ray clusters and with the maxBCG sample at low redshift. These tests indicate high completeness and purity across the full redshift range for clusters with 15 or more members.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Probiotics have been identified as potential therapeutic vessels for numerous intestinal conditions, but we do not yet understand their ability to colonize a host, particularly one whose gut environment has been affected by disease. Physical factors are key in determining the ability of bacteria to survive and colonize within the gut and need to be investigated in the context of probiotic therapy. This project aims to characterize the strain-specific adaptability of commercially available probiotic strains to disease-relevant physical parameters – pH and osmolality. Different strains of lactic acid producing bacteria and Bifidobacterium spp. were isolated from ten commercially available probiotics and assessed for their growth in various pH and osmolality conditions and for their ability to impact their surrounding abiotic environment. We found that probiotic strains from the same phyla exhibit differential growth responses to high osmolality and low pH conditions, and we performed comparative genomic analysis to identify candidate genes involved in probiotic stress response. This study highlights the impact of biophysical parameters on commensal bacteria survival and helps to inform characteristics that are important for probiotic strains to establish sufficient viability in the dynamic gastrointestinal environment and will ultimately facilitate the development of other microbiota-based therapies.

Subjective cognitive decline
Prevalence
Epidemiology
Individual participant data
Data harmonization
Cohort study

description: Abstract: Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is recognized as a risk stage for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias, but its prevalence is not well known. We aimed to use uniform criteria to better estimate SCD prevalence across international cohorts. Methods: We combined individual participant data for 16 cohorts from 15 countries (members of the COSMIC consortium) and used qualitative and quantitative (Item Response Theory/IRT) harmonization techniques to estimate SCD prevalence. Results: The sample comprised 39,387 cognitively unimpaired individuals above age 60. The prevalence of SCD across studies was around one quarter with both qualitative harmonization/QH (23.8%, 95%CI = 23.3–24.4%) and IRT (25.6%, 95%CI = 25.1–26.1%); however, prevalence estimates varied largely between studies (QH 6.1%, 95%CI = 5.1–7.0%, to 52.7%, 95%CI = 47.4–58.0%; IRT: 7.8%, 95%CI = 6.8–8.9%, to 52.7%, 95%CI = 47.4–58.0%). Across studies, SCD prevalence was higher in men than women, in lower levels of education, in Asian and Black African people compared to White people, in lower- and middle-income countries compared to high-income countries, and in studies conducted in later decades. Conclusions: SCD is frequent in old age. Having a quarter of older individuals with SCD warrants further investigation of its significance, as a risk stage for AD and other dementias, and of ways to help individuals with SCD who seek medical advice. Moreover, a standardized instrument to measure SCD is needed to overcome the measurement variability currently dominant in the field.
Corrections to the apparent value of the cosmological constant due to local inhomogeneities

description: Supernovae observations strongly support the presence of a cosmological constant, but its value, which we will call apparent, is normally determined assuming that the Universe can be accurately described by a homogeneous model. Even in the presence of a cosmological constant we cannot exclude nevertheless the presence of a small local inhomogeneity which could affect the apparent value of the cosmological constant. Neglecting the presence of the inhomogeneity can in fact introduce a systematic misinterpretation of cosmological data, leading to the distinction between an apparent and true value of the cosmological constant. We establish the theoretical framework to calculate the corrections to the apparent value of the cosmological constant by modeling the local inhomogeneity with a $ΛLTB$ solution. Our assumption to be at the center of a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous matter distribution correspond to effectively calculate the monopole contribution of the large scale inhomogeneities surrounding us, which we expect to be the dominant one, because of other observations supporting a high level of isotropy of the Universe around us. By performing a local Taylor expansion we analyze the number of independent degrees of freedom which determine the local shape of the inhomogeneity, and consider the issue of central smoothness, showing how the same correction can correspond to different inhomogeneity profiles. Contrary to previous attempts to fit data using large void models our approach is quite general. The correction to the apparent value of the cosmological constant is in fact present for local inhomogeneities of any size, and should always be taken appropriately into account both theoretically and observationally.

description: If the excess events from the CoGeNT experiment arise from elastic scatterings of a light dark matter off the nuclei, crossing symmetry implies non-vanishing annihilation cross-sections of the light dark matter into hadronic final states inside the galactic halo, which we confront with the anti-proton spectrum measured by the PAMELA collaboration. We consider two types of effective interactions between the dark matter and the quarks: 1) contact interactions from integrating out heavy particles and 2) long-range interactions due to the electromagnetic properties of the dark matter. The lack of excess in the anti-proton spectrum results in tensions for a scalar and, to a less extent, a vector dark matter interacting with the quarks through the Higgs portal.

description: Stimulating a system with time dependent sources can enhance instabilities, thus increasing the critical temperature at which the system transitions to interesting low-temperature phases such as superconductivity or superfluidity. After reviewing this phenomenon in non-equilibrium BCS theory (and its marginal fermi liquid generalization) we analyze the effect in holographic superconductors. We exhibit a simple regime in which the transition temperature increases parametrically as we increase the frequency of the time-dependent source.

description: We discuss low mass dilepton rates ($\le 1$ GeV) from the deconfined phase of QCD using both perturbative and non-perturbative models and compare with those from lattice gauge theory and in-medium hadron gas. Our analysis suggests that the rate at very low invariant mass ($ M\le 200$ MeV) using the nonperturbative gluon condensate in a semiempirical way within the Green function dominates over the Born-rate and independent of any uncertainty associated with the choice of the strong coupling in perturbation theory. On the other hand the rate from $ρ-q$ interaction in the deconfined phase is important between 200 MeV $\le M \le 1 GeV as it is almost of same order of the Born-rate as well as in-medium hadron gas rate. Also the higher order perturbative rate, leaving aside its various uncertainties, from HTL approximation becomes reliable at $M\ge 200$ MeV and also becomes comparable with the Born-rate and the lattice-rate for $M\ge 500$ MeV, constraining on the broad resonance structures in the dilepton rate at large invariant mass. We also discuss the lattice constraints on the low mass dilepton rate. Furthermore, we discuss a more realistic way to advocate the quark-hadron duality hypothesis based on the dilepton rates from QGP and hadron gas than it is done in the literature.

Subjects: terrorism, intangible costs, health satisfaction, multi-level model, Turkey

description: Terrorism has the potential to affect population health through various pathways. Since the literature mostly analyzes tangible economic costs, there is dearth of evidence on health effects of terrorism. In an effort to address that gap, this article explores the relationship between terrorism and health satisfaction of Turkish citizens by combining province-level and individual-level data sets. In order to quantify determinants of health satisfaction, a multi-level modeling framework is employed. Empirical analysis suggests that individuals with higher exposure to terrorism are more likely to report lower health satisfaction in Turkey. Health satisfaction of individuals is significantly and positively correlated with individual-level covariates such as education level, marital status, employment status, household income, housing floor area per person, interest in health issues and becoming a parent within the past year. Age, being female and utilization of health services display negative associations with health satisfaction of individuals. Finally, province level GDP per capita and schooling ratio exhibit significantly positive associations with individual health satisfaction in Turkey.

description: Recent measurements of the temperature of the sky in the radio band, combined with literature data, have convincingly shown the existence of a cosmic radio background with an amplitude of $\sim 1$ K at 1 GHz and a spectral energy distribution that is well described by a power law with index $α\simeq -0.6$. The origin of this signal remains elusive, and it has been speculated that it could be dominated by the contribution of star-forming galaxies at high redshift \change{if the far infrared-radio correlation $q(z)$ evolved} in time. \change{We fit observational data from several different experiments by the relation $q(z) \simeq q_0 - β\log(1+z)$ with $q_0 = 2.783 \pm 0.024$ and $β= 0.705 \pm 0.081$ and estimate the total radio emission of the whole galaxy population at any given redshift from the cosmic star formation rate density at that redshift. It is found that} star-forming galaxies can only account for $\sim$13 percent of the observed intensity of the cosmic radio background.

On macrosegregation in a binary alloy undergoing solidification shrinkage

Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: Mathematical sciences

description: The one-dimensional transient solidification of a binary alloy undergoing shrinkage is well-known as an invaluable benchmark for the testing of numerical codes that model macrosegregation. Here, recent work that considered the small-time behaviour of this problem is extended until complete solidification, thereby determining the solute profile across the entire solidified domain. The small-time solution is used as the initial condition for the numerical integration of a problem having three moving boundaries. Of particular significance is the so-called inverse segregation that is observed at the start of solidification, and the extreme segregation that is observed at the end; in the case of the example presented, which is for the often-cited Al–Cu system, the macrosegregation is found to be positive or negative, depending on whether Scheil’s equation or the lever rule is assumed at the microscale, respectively. The relevance of these results for the modelling of steady-state continuous casting processes – in particular, the phenomenon of centreline segregation – is also discussed

description: In particle therapy, knowledge of the stopping-power ratios (STPRs) of the ion beam for air and water is necessary for accurate ionization chamber dosimetry. Earlier work has investigated the STPRs for pristine carbon ion beams, but here we expand the calculations to a range of ions (1 <= z <= 18) as well as spread out Bragg peaks (SOBPs) and provide a theoretical in-depth study with a special focus on the parameter regime relevant for particle therapy. The Monte Carlo transport code SHIELD-HIT is used to calculate complete particle-fluence spectra which are required for determining STPRs according to the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We confirm that the STPR depends primarily on the current energy of the ions rather than on their charge z or absolute position in the medium. However, STPRs for different sets of stopping-power data for water and air recommended by the International Commission on Radiation Units & Measurements (ICRU) are compared, including also the recently revised data for water, yielding deviations up to 2% in the plateau region. In comparison, the influence of the secondary particle spectra on the STPR is about two orders of magnitude smaller in the whole region up till the practical range. The gained insights enable us to propose an analytic approximation for the STPR for both pristine and SOBPs as a function of penetration depth, which parametrically depend only on the initial energy and the residual range of the ion, respectively.

Efficient Identification of Function: A Comparison of Different Implementers During Functional Analyses
Creators: name: Nicklow, Katelyn E.
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
Functional analyses (FAs) are a common tool used in the assessment and treatment of severe problem behaviors and often occur in the context of clinical settings with unfamiliar, trained staff. Previous research suggests that inconsistent outcomes can emerge when caregivers with an existing history of seeing their child’s challenging behavior are trained to implement the assessment in place of clinical staff. The purpose of the current study was to expand on existing literature by comparing FA implemented by clinical staff and caregivers in the context of a clinical setting. Results demonstrate that efficient identification of function and differentiated rates of problem behavior given the inclusion of caregivers during assessment may vary based on the child’s existing history of responding with those caregivers. Implications of results for researchers and practitioners are discussed.

description: We present a new observable to study halo nuclei. This new observable is a particular ratio of angular distributions for elastic breakup and scattering. For one-neutron halo nuclei, it is shown to be independent of the reaction mechanism and to provide significant information about the structure of the projectile, including binding energy, partial-wave configuration, and radial wave function of the halo. This observable offers new capabilities for the study of nuclear structure far from stability.

description: We consider the use of pulse-shaped broadband femtosecond lasers to optically cool rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom of molecules. Since this approach relies on cooling rotational and vibrational quanta by exciting an electronic transition, it is most easily applicable to molecules with similar ground and excited potential energy surfaces, such that the vibrational state is usually unchanged during electronic relaxation. Compared with schemes that cool rotations by exciting vibrations, this approach achieves internal cooling on the orders-of- magnitude faster electronic decay timescale and is potentially applicable to apolar molecules. For AlH+, a candidate species, a rate-equation simulation indicates that rovibrational equilibrium should be achievable in 8 μs. In addition, we report laboratory demonstration of optical pulse shaping with sufficient resolution and power for rotational cooling of AlH+.

description: We obtain a new representation for the partition function of the six vertex model with domain wall boundaries using a functional equation recently derived by the author. This new representation is given in terms of a sum over the permutation group where the partial homogeneous limit can be taken trivially. We also show by construction that this partition function satisfies a linear partial differential equation.

description: The Landauer-Büttiker formalism provides a simple and insightful way for investigating many phenomena in mesoscopic physics. By this approach we derive general formulas for the energy properties and apply them to the basic setups. Of particular interest are the noise properties. We show that energy current fluctuations can be induced by zero-point fluctuations and we discuss the implications of this result.

Finite element methods for optimizing the fracture toughness of fibrillar adhesives and the deep indentation of hyperelastic materials
Creators: name: Tong, Zhiyuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Two projects are included in the thesis. The two projects study different aspects of fracture and damage as the geometry changes. For Project 1, topology optimization is applied to optimize the fracture toughness of fibrillar adhesives towards initiated cracks. Project 1 applies to applications where the crack initiation is unavoidable and the crack initiation location is fixed. Multiple materials are considered. The objective is to minimize a weighted sum of the compliance and the J-integral, which ensures the load carrying ability and reduces the energy release rate at the crack tip. Three cases are analyzed in plane strain: double edge cracks in tension, single center crack in tension, and single edge crack in shear. With more weight put on reducing the J-integral, the load carrying structure is moved away from the crack. Highly similar results can be obtained for short cracks of different lengths. The methods are verified by: a benchmark topology optimization problem, benchmark J-integral computation problems, and the domain independence of the J-integral in topology optimization. For Project 2, deep indentation of hyperelastic materials in axisymmetry is simulated, which is important for predicting fracture. Frictionless contact and no-slip contact are considered. Four types of indenters are used. Effects of friction, indenter geometries and material constants on the potential crack shapes are studied. Among various types of finite elements, the 3-node triangular elements are chosen by analyzing the order of the numerical integration. The accuracy and the stability of the simulation are increased by modifying the traditional displacement conditions of contact to recover existing penetration. Using remeshing, the indentation can be extended to depth uncapable by commercial finite element software. The large deformation formulation is verified by comparing with the solution of Euler-Bernoulli beams in large bending. The hyperelastic formulation is verified by checking the energy conservation, as well as the agreement with linear elasticity when undeformed.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έχει ως στόχο να αναλύσει και να συγκρίνει τα ανόργανα κύρια στοιχεία και ιχνοστοιχεία πετρωμάτων τριών νησιών —Ικαρίας, Λήμνου, Κεφαλονιάς— που έχουν εντελώς διαφορετικά πετρώματα (Ικαρία/πλουτώνια, Λήμνος/ηφαιστειακά, Κεφαλλονιά/ιζηματογενή) με τα ανόργανα στοιχεία και ιχνοστοιχεία των κρασιών, ώστε να αναδειχθεί η συμβολή του εκάστοτε πετρώματος στη φυσιογνωμία του τοπικά παραγόμενου κρασιού. Αρχικά, στα πλαίσια αυτής της εργασίας, πραγματοποιήθηκε σύγκριση των διαφόρων υπό χρήση μεθόδων ανάλυσης οίνου. Για την ανάλυση των οίνων που μελετήθηκαν χρησιμοποιήθηκε η φθορισιομετρία ακτίνων Χ ενεργειακής διασποράς (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence, EDXRF). Τα δείγματα που επιλέχθηκαν είναι από λευκά κρασιά. Συγκεκριμένα, προέρχονται από ποικιλίες οι οποίες έχουν ευδοκιμήσει με το πέρασμα των χρόνων στους εκάστοτε τόπους: στην Ικαρία το Μπεγλέρι, στη Λήμνο το Μοσχάτο Αλεξανδρείας και το Ασσύρτικο, ενώ στην Κεφαλονιά η Ρομπόλα. Τα δεδομένα των στοιχείων και των ιχνοστοιχείων των πετρωμάτων από τα τρία νησιά συγκεντρώθηκαν από βιβλιογραφικές αναφορές. Επίσης, μελετήθηκε το γεωλογικό περίγραμμα, η πετρογένεση και ο χημισμός του κάθε τόπου, ώστε να κατανοηθούν διαυγέστερα οι αισθητές διαφορές στα ανόργανα συστατικά των πετρωμάτων.
Ανατρέχοντας στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία, παρόλο που δεν βρέθηκαν εδαφολογικές αναλύσεις των υπό μελέτη τόπων, εντοπίστηκαν στοιχεία τα οποία προέρχονται από το έδαφος και τα πετρώματα και έχουν την ικανότητα να απορροφούνται από τη ρίζα της αμπέλου —όπως είναι τα Al, B, Ba, Li, Mn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Rb, Si, Sr, Ti κ.α.—. Με την παρατήρηση αυτή, θα μπορούσε να κριθεί δυνατή η συσχέτιση πετρώματος-κρασιού, η οποία ήταν και ο στόχος της εργασίας αυτής. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, η σύγκριση των γεωχημικών αναλύσεων των μητρικών πετρωμάτων με την «χημεία των κρασιών» καθίσταται δύσκολη λόγω του ότι τα μητρικά πετρώματα υφίστανται έντονες μετατροπές στον χημισμό τους όταν μετατρέπονται σε εδάφη, με κύρια και ιχνοστοιχεία να συγκεντρώνονται σε πολύ διαφορετικές ποσότητες που εξαρτώνται από την κινητικότητα των στοιχείων επηρεαζόμενη καθοριστικά από το σύνολο των παραμέτρων δημιουργίας εδαφών. Παρόλα αυτά εντοπίστηκαν κάποια ιχνοστοιχεία, όπως το Νιόβιο (Nb), το Ζιρκόνιο (Zr) και το Στρόντιο (Sr) των οποίων τις συγκεντρώσεις στα πετρώματα και στους οίνους θα μπορούσε να τις ονομάσει όμορες. Υπάρχουν ενδείξεις ώστε με περαιτέρω έρευνα τα στοιχεία αυτά να χαρακτηριστούν ως δείκτες συγκέντρωσης ιχνοστοιχείων πετρωμάτων – οίνων, παρά τις πολύ χαμηλές τους συγκεντρώσεις τους στους οίνους.

description: Objectives: To study sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infections (STCTs), teenage pregnancies, and payment defaults in individuals born preterm as proxies for engaging in risk-taking behavior. Study design: Our population-based register-linkage study included all 191 705 children alive at 10 years (8492 preterm [4.4%]) born without malformations in Finland between January 1987 and September 1990 as each mother's first child within the cohort. They were followed until young adulthood. We used Cox regression to assess the hazards of STCTs, teenage pregnancies, payment defaults, criminal offending, and substance abuse by gestational age. Gestational age was considered both as a continuous and categorical (extremely, very, moderately, late preterm, early term, post term, and full term as reference) exposure. Results: A linear dose-response relationship existed between gestational age and STCT and teenage pregnancy; adjusted hazard for STCT decreased by 1.6% (95% CI, 0.7%-2.6%), and for teenage pregnancy by 3.3% (95% CI, 1.9%-4.8%) per each week decrease in gestational age. Those born extremely preterm (23-27 completed weeks) had a 51% (95% CI, 31%-83%) lower risk for criminal offending than their full-term born counterparts, and those born very preterm (range, 28-31 weeks) had a 28% (95% CI, 7%-53%) higher hazard for payment defaults than those born at full term. Gestational age was not associated with substance abuse. Conclusions: The lower risk-taking that characterizes people born preterm seems to generalize to sexual and to some extent criminal behavior. Those born very preterm are, however, more likely to experience payment defaults.

The natural history of "contrast stasis" within aneurysm after embolization
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Objective: Contrast stasis within residual aneurysm sac is sometimes seen after embolization of intracranial aneurysms and is thought to represent sluggish flow prone to thrombosis. We report the short- and intermediate-term angiographic outcomes of intra-aneurysmal contrast stasis following predominantly bioactive coil embolization procedures. Design/Methods: Contrast stasis was identified by retrospective review of 153 consecutive patients treated at two centers with endovascular embolizations for intracranial aneurysms. Contrast stasis was defined by persistent opacification despite clearance of contrast from parent artery assessed during angiography at 3–5 frames/second. The contrast stasis were classified based on relative area and location visualized on dynamic angiographic images as small (5–15% of the total aneurysm), large (> 15%), or occurring only in the aneurysm neck by an independent reviewer. Results: There were 44 patients (23 women: mean age 54.3±12.5 years) who had contrast stasis; 36 patients had small and 8 had contrast stasis in the neck of the aneurysm. There were no patients with large contrast stasis. Of these 44 patients, 33 patients had a mean follow up angiogram in 269.5 days; 10 patients had no follow up. In 21 patients, (18 were small and 3 were in the neck) the area of contrast stasis had spontaneously thrombosed while in 7 patients there was no change in the contrast stasis. The remaining 5 patients had increase in area of contrast stasis and required re-embolization. Size of the contrast stasis (p= 0.02) was the only statistically significant factor although there was a trend dome to neck ratio > 2 (p= 0.16) and washout on the initial angiogram (p= 0.16) affecting the thrombosis of contrast stasis. Conclusions: Most small contrast stasis following coil embolization procedures spontaneously thrombose and do not require further treatment. A small proportion of patients had increase in the area of intraaneurysmal contrast stasis and required further treatment.
