description: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and adverse effects of specific immunotherapy (SIT) in the management of respiratory allergens, including allergic asthma, rhinitis, and related disorders, based on a review of current literature up to November 8, 2022. We conducted a search of databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing respiratory allergy-specific immunotherapy. We employed the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) Statement to select RCTs that adhered to rigorous reporting standards. Specifically, we focused on double-blind placebo-controlled (DBPC) trials and open studies involving both adults and children, considering factors such as dosage, inclusion criteria, allergens, and primary outcome measurements. A total of 25 meta-analyses were included in this study. Among them, 14 evaluated sublingual-specific allergen immunotherapy (SLIT), 4 assessed subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (SCIT), 4 explored both sublingual and subcutaneous immunotherapy, and 3 investigated intralymphatic immunotherapy. The outcomes of these meta-analyses indicated a reduction in medication scores in 20 cases and a decrease in symptom scores in 23 cases. Additionally, six studies reported on changes in IgE levels, seven studies focused on IgG4, four studies examined FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 s), and eight studies reported on symptom and medication scores. Furthermore, 11 studies reported on differences in adverse reactions. The results of our meta-analysis suggest that specific immunotherapy, while associated with some adverse effects, effectively reduces the symptoms of asthma and rhinitis. Therefore, we recommend its use in the treatment of respiratory allergies.

description: We consider the 3-dimensional gravitational $n$-body problem, $n\ge 2$, in spaces of constant Gaussian curvature $κ\ne 0$, i.e.\ on spheres ${\mathbb S}_κ^3$, for $κ>0$, and on hyperbolic manifolds ${\mathbb H}_κ^3$, for $κ<0$. Our goal is to define and study relative equilibria, which are orbits whose mutual distances remain constant in time. We also briefly discuss the issue of singularities in order to avoid impossible configurations. We derive the equations of motion and define six classes of relative equilibria, which follow naturally from the geometric properties of ${\mathbb S}_κ^3$ and ${\mathbb H}_κ^3$. Then we prove several criteria, each expressing the conditions for the existence of a certain class of relative equilibria, some of which have a simple rotation, whereas others perform a double rotation, and we describe their qualitative behaviour. In particular, we show that in ${\mathbb S}_κ^3$ the bodies move either on circles or on Clifford tori, whereas in ${\mathbb H}_κ^3$ they move either on circles or on hyperbolic cylinders. Then we construct concrete examples for each class of relative equilibria previously described, thus proving that these classes are not empty. We put into the evidence some surprising orbits, such as those for which a group of bodies stays fixed on a great circle of a great sphere of ${\mathbb S}_κ^3$, while the other bodies rotate uniformly on a complementary great circle of another great sphere, as well as a large class of quasiperiodic relative equilibria, the first such non-periodic orbits ever found in a 3-dimensional $n$-body problem. Finally, we briefly discuss other research directions and the future perspectives in the light of the results we present here.

Effect of common dietary fatty acids on viability and fibrosis of cardiac cells
Creators: name: Beam, Julianne Cecile
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Excess dietary fatty acids (FA) are considered a major contributory factor to the high prevalence of type-2 diabetes and cardiac disease. A pathological feature of cardiac disease is cardiac fibrosis. Following cardiomyocyte death, fibroblasts deposit extracellular matrix (ECM) components (fibrosis) to maintain structural integrity of the heart. However, excess fibrosis results in cardiac dysfunction. The current North American diet consists of high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), mainly linoleic acid (LA; omega-6 PUFA) from vegetable oils such as corn, sunflower and safflower oils. Unlike saturated FAs, the effects of omega-6 PUFAs, like LA, alone and during oxidative stress are not widely studied. Incubation with LA and oleic acid (OA), a monounsaturated FA used as a control, decreased cell viability of cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts. High concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, used to mimic oxidative insult, also reduced cell viability and depleted glutathione, an antioxidant in fibroblasts. Furthermore, during such oxidative insult, high concentrations or longer exposure to FAs exacerbated cell death. While hydrogen peroxide decreased collagen in fibroblasts in combination with FAs, it increased soluble collagen but decreased deposited collagen. TGFβ1-stimulation was used to create a fibrotic stimulus in vitro. TGFβ1 increased soluble and insoluble collagen under low but not high glucose conditions. After TGFβ1-stimulation, LA but not OA increased deposited collagen levels in fibroblasts. In addition, in the presence of LA, the gene expression of fibroblasts demonstrated increased expression of TIMP1, known to inhibit degradation of the ECM. Furthermore, the COL1α1/COL3 ratio, which is directly proportional to fibrotic stiffness, was increased in fibroblasts incubated with LA. In vivo, mice were fed with either corn oil (CO) or olive oil (OO) diets, followed by isoproterenol administration to initiate cardiac injury. OO feeding increased TGFβ3 expression in mice hearts. In addition, similar to in vitro experiments, the COL1α1/COL3 ratio in mice hearts was increased following isoproterenol-induced cardiac injury with CO. These results identified increased LA as a cause of increased collagen deposition and altered TIMP1 expression during fibrosis. The results also point towards an augmented COL1α1/COL3 ratio, which determines cardiac stiffness following fibrosis, which is an important mediator amenable to dietary FAs.

description: While effective concentration inequalities for suprema of empirical processes exist under boundedness or strict tail assumptions, no comparable results have been available under considerably weaker assumptions. In this paper, we derive concentration inequalities assuming only low moments for an envelope of the empirical process. These concentration inequalities are beneficial even when the envelope is much larger than the single functions under consideration.

Transcriptome profiling, and the cloning and characterization of a monoterpene synthase from the seeds of Coriandrum sativum L.
Creators: name: Galata, Mariana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Plant terpenes are a large and diverse class of naturally-derived compounds, valuable in the medicinal, perfume and culinary industries. The seeds of Coriandrum sativum (coriander) produce essential oil (EO) rich in monoterpenes, volatile C₁₀ terpenes. In this study the coriander seeds were viewed under a scanning electron microscope and stomata as well as vittae structures were observed on the seed surface and in cross-section, respectively. The EO of C. sativum seeds was extracted and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The EO terpene content findings agreed with previous literature, with linalool being the most abundant monoterpene in coriander EO. The transcriptome of coriander seeds, at three developmental stages (early, mid and late) was sequenced via Illumina technology. Analysis of the differential transcript abundance of select terpene biosynthetic genes between these stages revealed that two terpene production pathways are constitutively active in the seeds, with slight upregulation in the mid-developmental stage. All the genes involved with active photosynthesis and fatty acid biosynthesis and metabolism were also identified from the coriander transcript library. To validate the usability of the transcriptome sequence data, a terpene synthase candidate gene, CsγTRPS, encoding a 611 amino acid protein was expressed in bacteria and the recombinant protein purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Enzymatic assays with geranyl diphosphate (GPP), the precursor to monoterpenes, revealed that this 65.86 kDa recombinant protein catalyzed the conversion of GPP to γ-terpinene, with apparent Vmax, Km, and kcat values of 2.2 ± 0.2 pkat/mg, 66 ± 13 µM and 1.476 × 10-⁴ s-¹, respectively. Knowledge gained from these experiments will facilitate future studies concerning essential and fatty acid oil production in coriander. They will also enable efforts to improve the EO of coriander through metabolic engineering or plant breeding.

description: It is believed that gut microbiota alteration leads to both intestinal and non-intestinal diseases in children. Since infants inherit maternal microbiota during pregnancy and lactation, recent studies suggest that changes in maternal microbiota can cause immune disorders as well. This systematic review was designed to assess the association between the child and mother’s gut microbiome and allergy development in childhood. In this systematic review, international databases including PubMed, Scopus, and ISI/WOS were searched until January 2023 to identify relevant studies. Observational studies that analyzed infant or maternal stool microbiome and their association with allergy development in children were included in this study. Data extraction and quality assessment of the included studies were independently conducted by two researchers. Of the 1694 papers evaluated, 21 studies examined neonate gut microbiome by analyzing stool samples and six studies examined maternal gut microbiota. A total of 5319 participants were included in this study. Asthma followed by eczema and dermatitis were the most common allergy disorders among children. Urbanization caused a lack of diversity in the bacterial microbiota as well as lower levels of Bifidobacterium and Lachnospira associated with a higher risk of allergy. In contrast, higher levels of Roseburia and Flavonifractor were associated with lower allergy risk. This systematic review shows that gut microbiota may be associated with allergy development. Further studies are required to provide a definitive answer.

description: We study the gravitational collapse of a magnetized neutron star using a novel numerical approach able to capture both the dynamics of the star and the behavior of the surrounding plasma. In this approach, a fully general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics implementation models the collapse of the star and provides appropriate boundary conditions to a force-free model which describes the stellar exterior. We validate this strategy by comparing with known results for the rotating monopole and aligned rotator solutions and then apply it to study both rotating and non-rotating stellar collapse scenarios, and contrast the behavior with what is obtained when employing the electrovacuum approximation outside the star. The non-rotating electrovacuum collapse is shown to agree qualitatively with a Newtonian model of the electromagnetic field outside a collapsing star. We illustrate and discuss a fundamental difference between the force-free and electrovacuum solutions, involving the appearance of large zones of electric-dominated field in the vacuum case. This provides a clear demonstration of how dissipative singularities appear generically in the non-linear time-evolution of force-free fluids. In both the rotating and non-rotating cases, our simulations indicate that the collapse induces a strong electromagnetic transient. In the case of sub-millisecond rotation, the magnetic field experiences strong winding and the transient carries much more energy. This result has important implications for models of gamma-ray bursts.

description: We study how multi-partite entanglement evolves under the paradigm of separable operations, which include the local operations and classical communication (LOCC) as a special case. We prove that the average "decay" of entanglement induced by a separable operation is measure independent (among SL-invariant ones) and state independent: the ratio between the average output entanglement and the initial entanglement is solely a function of the separable operation, regardless of the input state and of the SL-invariant entanglement measure being used. We discuss the "disentangling power" of a quantum channel and show that it exhibits a similar state invariance as the average entanglement decay ratio. Our Rapid Communication significantly extends the bipartite results of Ref. [1-3] as well as the multi-partite one of Ref. [4], all of the previous work being restricted to one-sided or particular noise models.

description: A pronounced burden is evident in individuals with asthma, with approximately half of them not adhering to their prescribed medication. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence of anti-asthma medications non-adherence in Ethiopia. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple electronic databases including PubMed, Africa Index Medicus, Science Direct, Hinari, and a search engine, Google Scholar from October 5 to 20, 2023. In addition, digital research repositories from Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar University were accessed. The eligibility criteria was employed to screen studies after uploading search results to EndNote software to remove duplicates first. Then, two investigators, CT and BBT, independently assessed titles, abstracts, and the full text of all retrieved references to identify potentially eligible studies. This meta-analysis, which was conducted in Ethiopia, and included 11 full-text articles, revealed a pooled asthma medication non-adherence level of 51.20% (95% CI 35.20%, 67.20%) with substantial heterogeneity (I2 = 99.08%). The review has also identified factors predicting non-adherence among asthmatic patients: free (health service) (AOR: 0.31, 95% CI 0.18–0.54), poor knowledge (AOR: 2.85, 95% CI 1.61–5.05), absence of formal education (AOR: 3.01, 95% CI 1.72–5.25), history of previous ADR (AOR: 8.57, 95% CI 1.12–65.3), and the presence of Co- morbidity(AOR: 3.28, 95% CI 2.014–5.68), had shown association with asthma medication non-adherence. Asthma medication non-adherence is notably high in Ethiopia. Addressing medication non-adherence requires a comprehensive approach, including clear communication between healthcare providers, patient education, and addressing financial barriers to ensure better adherence in asthma patients.

description: More than half of nearby disc galaxies have pseudobulges instead of classical bulges that are though to be end-products of galaxy mergers. Pseudobulges are presumed to develop overtime as a result of secular evolution of galaxy discs. We report simulations of galaxy formation, in which two disc galaxies with disky pseudobulges have formed. Based on the profile decomposition, the bulge-to-total mass ratio of the simulated galaxies is 0.6 for one galaxy and 0.3 for the other. We find that the main formation mechanism of the pseudobulges in our simulations is not the secular evolution of discs but high-redshift starbursts. The progenitors of the pseudobulges form as high-redshift discs with small scale lengths by rapid supply of low angular momentum gas. By redshift 2, before the main disc formation, pseudobulge formation has largely completed in terms of mass. The secular evolution such as bar instability accounts for about 30 % of the bulge mass for one galaxy and only 13 % for the other but does affect the final shape and kinematic properties of the pseudobulges.

description: The relationship between thermodynamics and statistical physics is valid in the thermodynamic limit - when the number of particles becomes very large. Here, we study thermodynamics in the opposite regime - at both the nano scale, and when quantum effects become important. Applying results from quantum information theory we construct a theory of thermodynamics in these limits. We derive general criteria for thermodynamical state transformations, and as special cases, find two free energies: one that quantifies the deterministically extractable work from a small system in contact with a heat bath, and the other that quantifies the reverse process. We find that there are fundamental limitations on work extraction from nonequilibrium states, owing to finite size effects and quantum coherences. This implies that thermodynamical transitions are generically irreversible at this scale. As one application of these methods, we analyse the efficiency of small heat engines and find that they are irreversible during the adiabatic stages of the cycle.

description: Once-daily inhalers have been shown to improve adherence leading to lesser discontinuation compared to twice- or thrice-daily inhalers in management of asthma. Combination of Vilanterol and Fluticasone Furoate (VI/FF) is approved for management of asthma and COPD and is available as a dry powder inhaler. Pressurized-Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDIs) offer ease-of-use and therapy alternatives for patients with low inspiratory flow. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of a new once-daily pMDI containing VI/FF in individuals diagnosed with persistent asthma. This phase 3, double-blind, randomized controlled study assessed the non-inferiority of VI/FF (12.5 mcg/50 mcg & 12.5 mcg/100 mcg; 2 puffs once-daily) over Formoterol Fumarate and Fluticasone Propionate (FOR/FP, 6 mcg/125 mcg & 6 mcg/250 mcg; 2 puffs twice-daily) in patients with persistent asthma. Primary outcome was change from baseline in trough FEV1 at the end of study (12 weeks). Adverse events and number of exacerbations were used to evaluate safety. A total of 330 patients were randomized into VI/FF (165) and FOR/FP (165). Trough FEV1 significantly improved in both the groups at week 12, with a mean difference (VI/FF minus FOR/FP) being 54.75 mL (95% CI, 8.42–101.08 mL, p = 0.02). The low dose VI/FF had similar efficacy to that of low dose FOR/FP and high dose VI/FF had similar efficacy to high dose FOR/FP. No serious adverse events were reported during the study. Once daily VI/FF pMDI was non-inferior to twice daily FOR/FP pMDI in patients with persistent asthma.

description: An important tool in the study of the complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) is the notion of a relational clone, which is the set of all relations expressible using primitive positive formulas over a particular set of base relations. Post's lattice gives a complete classification of all Boolean relational clones, and this has been used to classify the computational difficulty of CSPs. Motivated by a desire to understand the computational complexity of (weighted) counting CSPs, we develop an analogous notion of functional clones and study the landscape of these clones. One of these clones is the collection of log-supermodular (lsm) functions, which turns out to play a significant role in classifying counting CSPs. In the conservative case (where all nonnegative unary functions are available), we show that there are no functional clones lying strictly between the clone of lsm functions and the total clone (containing all functions). Thus, any counting CSP that contains a single nontrivial non-lsm function is computationally as hard to approximate as any problem in #P. Furthermore, we show that any non-trivial functional clone (in a sense that will be made precise) contains the binary function "implies". As a consequence, in the conservative case, all non-trivial counting CSPs are as hard as #BIS, the problem of counting independent sets in a bipartite graph. Given the complexity-theoretic results, it is natural to ask whether the "implies" clone is equivalent to the clone of lsm functions. We use the Mobius transform and the Fourier transform to show that these clones coincide precisely up to arity 3. It is an intriguing open question whether the lsm clone is finitely generated. Finally, we investigate functional clones in which only restricted classes of unary functions are available.

description: Using micromechanical force magnetometry, we have measured the magnetization of the strong-leg spin-1/2 ladder compound (C$_7$H$_{10}$N)$_2$CuBr$_2$ at temperatures down to 45 mK. Low-temperature magnetic susceptibility as a function of field exhibits a maximum near the critical field H_c at which the magnon gap vanishes, as expected for a gapped one-dimensional antiferromagnet. Above H_c a clear minimum appears in the magnetization as a function of temperature as predicted by theory. In this field region, the susceptibility in conjunction with our specific heat data yields the Wilson ratio R_W. The result supports the relation R_W=4K, where K is the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid parameter.
Gender Euphoria : an embodied practice of painting & drag performance
Creators: name: Lester, Shannon Walter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This document is a support paper for my MFA thesis exhibition that highlights certain aspects of my artistic practice as a drag performance artist and painter contextualizing my work within academic theories of socially constructed gender roles. I have been an active participant in drag performance for many years. In this document I discuss how my performance practice has enriched and influenced my creative practice-based research as paintings. Specifically, in relationship to my recent body of work culminating in my final MFA thesis exhibition, Gender Euphoria. The title Gender Euphoria, represents a subversion of cultural codes, and the work itself is the culmination of my two-year residency at UBC Okanagan exploring misogyny, drag, the monstrous feminine and painting.

description: Patients with severe eosinophilic asthma experience high risk of exacerbations and reduced quality of life. Benralizumab, a monoclonal antibody binding to IL-5 receptor α subunit, is an approved drug for its treatment. The objective was to describe clinical remission after benralizumab prescription in routine clinical practice. Retrospective multicenter study with data from four hospitals in Valencian Community (Spain) with asthma units between 2019 and 2020. Data was gathered at baseline and after 12 months. We considered clinical remission after 1 year if the patient remained without exacerbations and use of systemic corticosteroids and with good clinical control and normal lung function. Data from 139 patients was gathered. At the 12-month follow-up, 44.1% were in clinical remission, since 84.0%, 77.5%, 51.0% and 95.5% of patients did not experience exacerbations, had total asthma control test score of ≥20, prebronchodilator FEV1 of ≥80% and did not use systemic corticosteroids. A significant reduction of long-acting muscarinic antagonists (p = 0.0001), leukotriene receptor antagonists (p = 0.0326), oral corticosteroids (p < 0.0001) and short-acting beta agonists (p = 0.0499) was observed. Baseline factors with greatest individual influence on clinical remission were employment situation, tobacco use, comorbidity number, eosinophil value, number of exacerbations, FEV1, emergency visit number, and ACT, MiniAQLQ and TAI scores. Final analysis of multiple logistic regression indicated that having baseline FEV1 value below 80% increases remission chance 9.7 times a year compared to FEV1 >80%. Clinical remission after treatment with benralizumab is achievable in a high percentage of patients with severe asthma eosinophilia not controlled in real life.

Patients' experiences of participating in an Enhanced Recovery After Colorectal Surgery (ERACS) program
Creators: name: Desilets, Shannon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), previously called fast-track, originated in 1999 in Denmark and is gaining ever-increasing acceptance throughout North America. ERAS attempts to minimize the body’s stress response and organ dysfunction while enhancing recovery by decreasing complications and increasing feelings of wellbeing after major surgery. Patients are guided along regimented recovery periods in which they become active and engaged participants throughout all stages. The local health authority has adopted and adapted ERAS as a new surgical incentive called “Enhanced Recovery After Colorectal Surgery” (ERACS). Evidence from a large body of quantitative research has demonstrated the medical benefits of ERAS for patients, but there is limited qualitative research to understand the patient experience with no Canadian studies to date. The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain an understanding of the experiences of patients with colorectal cancer participating in this newly implemented ERACS program. The study used the narrative inquiry work of Holloway and Freshwater, plus Clandinin and Connelly. Five men and two women participated in a structured storied interview that documented the peri-operative phases of their ERACS journeys. From these interviews, Emden’s core story creation process was used to mold stories into surgical narratives using sjuzet, or organization by use of sequence and temporality. The participants’ ERACS experiences included constant motion in context to three compounding disruptions: life, time and surgical, all coming with multiple themes and sub-themes. In life disruption, they faced vulnerability as their nil to mild body clues were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In time disruption, they reflected on their past, present and future along with a sense of changing speeds of time. In surgical disruption, they entered the hospital for surgical intervention and relayed their passage through to discharge. Their journeys were driven forward by motion and clock time, compliance, resilience, post-traumatic growth, plus the concept of non-care emerged. This study adds to the limited qualitative knowledge base and has implications for research, practice, and education. By seeking out rich experiential stories, we can listen, learn and understand to help build safe surgical programs for the benefit and care of all future ERACS patients.
Understanding ferromagnetism in Cr-based 3d-5d double perovskites

description: Ferromagnetism in Cr-based double perovskites is analyzed using effective model as well as simulation approach. Starting from a microscopic model proposed recently for this class of double perovskites, an effective spin-only model is derived in the limit of large exchange coupling at the B-site. Analytic expressions for the resultant exchange coupling is derived in certain limiting cases. The behaviour of this exchange is used to provide a plausible explanation for the enhanced ferromagnetic tendency as also the enigmatic increase in Curie temperature observed in Cr-based DP-s, in the series Sr$_{2}$CrWO$_{6}$,Sr$_{2}$CrReO$_{6}$ to Sr$_{2}$CrOsO$_{6}$. The superexchange between neighbouring B and B' sites is found to play a crucial role both in stabilizing ferromagnetism, especially in the latter two compounds, as well as increasing the T$_{c}$.
