description: Alan E. Gelfand was born April 17, 1945, in the Bronx, New York. He attended public grade schools and did his undergraduate work at what was then called City College of New York (CCNY, now CUNY), excelling at mathematics. He then surprised and saddened his mother by going all the way across the country to Stanford to graduate school, where he completed his dissertation in 1969 under the direction of Professor Herbert Solomon, making him an academic grandson of Herman Rubin and Harold Hotelling. Alan then accepted a faculty position at the University of Connecticut (UConn) where he was promoted to tenured associate professor in 1975 and to full professor in 1980. A few years later he became interested in decision theory, then empirical Bayes, which eventually led to the publication of Gelfand and Smith [

description: Eilenodontines are one of the oldest radiation of herbivorous lepidosaurs (snakes, lizards and tuatara) characterized by batteries of wide teeth with thick enamel that bear mammal-like wear facets. Unlike most reptiles, eilenodontines have limited tooth replacement, making dental longevity particularly important to them. We use both X-ray and neutron computed tomography to examine a fossil tooth from the eilenodontine Eilenodon (Late Jurassic, USA). Of the two approaches, neutron tomography was more successful and facilitated measurements of enamel thickness and distribution. We find the enamel thickness to be regionally variable, thin near the cusp tip (0.10 mm) but thicker around the base (0.15–0.30 mm) and notably greater than that of other rhynchocephalians such as the extant Sphenodon (0.08–0.14 mm). The thick enamel in Eilenodon would permit greater loading, extend tooth lifespan and facilitate the establishment of wear facets that have sharp edges for orally processing plant material such as horsetails (Equisetum). The shape of the enamel dentine junction indicates that tooth development in Eilenodon and Sphenodon involved similar folding of the epithelium but different ameloblast activity.

description: Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) offers rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance. However, little is known about routine point-of-care (POC) use in high TB/HIV burden settings. We describe our experiences of launching Xpert as the POC, initial diagnostic for all TB suspects at a primary healthcare clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. Noted important benefits of POC Xpert were fewer clinic visits, rapid detection of TB and rifampicin resistance, real-time assessment of accompanying household members of new TB cases, and increased staff motivation for TB screening.     While Xpert results are available within 2 hours, actual turn-around time was longer for most patients because of sample preparation time and clinic congestion. Consequently, a GX4 instrument did not result in a 16-test capacity during an 8-hour working day, and some patients did not receive same-day results. Loss to follow-up was an unforeseen challenge, overcome by clinic flow changes, marking of clinic files, documenting patients' physical description and locating patients in the clinic by cell phone. Staff with high school education successfully performed the assay after minimal training.     Human resource requirements were considerable, with a minimum of 2 staff needed to supervise sputum collection, process sputum, perform assays, and document results for an average of 15 TB suspects daily. POC placement of the instrument transferred logistical responsibilities to the clinic, including quality assurance, maintenance, stock control and cartridge disposal.    POC use of Xpert is feasible at the primary healthcare level but must be accompanied by financial, operational and logistical support.
Effective matter dispersion relation in quantum covariant Horava-Lifshitz gravity

description: We study how quantum fluctuations of the metric in covariant Horava-Lifshitz gravity influence the propagation of classical fields (complex scalar and photon). The effective Lorentz-symmetry violation induced by the breaking of 4-dimensional diffeomorphism is then evaluated, by comparing the dressed dispersion relations for both external fields. The constraint of vanishing 3-dimensional Ricci scalar is imposed in the path integral, which therefore explicitly depends on two propagating gravitational degrees of freedom only. Because the matter fields are classical, the present model contains only logarithmic divergences. Furthermore, it imposes the characteristic Horava-Lifshitz scale to be smaller than $10^{10}$ GeV, if one wishes not to violate the current bounds on Lorentz symmetry violation.

title: REAL-TIME VISUALISATION AND ANALYSIS OF TACTILE INFORMATION USING FORCE SENSORS DURING ARTERIAL THREADING
Creators: name: Latham, K
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2025

description: Despite the investment in procedure-based simulators in endovascular training programmes, there is a growing concern over the lack of effective haptic feedback, which means that trainees must rely on live practice to develop skills and knowledge of the tactile aspect of Mechanical Thrombectomy. The live procedure carries a significant risk to patients, and the opportunity to carry it out is often limited, which can delay the trainee's development. This research presents a novel tactile controller designed to simulate the physical characteristics of arterial threading for mechanical thrombectomy to assess the efficacy of haptic feedback information generated using force-sensing resistors and game-engine technology for simulating and recording arterial threading. The experimental work was performed in a Virtual Learning Environment to evaluate the effectiveness of the force-sensing box trainer in simulating the physical resistance of an artery in mechanical thrombectomy. The generated force data is presented to a user in a real-time virtual operation theatre indicating the level of applied force. This work demonstrated the successful integration of force-sensor data into a Virtual Learning Environment inside the Unreal Engine. The data can be exported for further analysis by the end-users after completing the simulation to investigate the user’s performance. Analysis of the obtained experimental data from the real-time simulation study demonstrated the ability of the system to identify changes to applied force and impacts generated by a user in a real-time simulation using force-sensitive data for simulated arterial threading, indicating the level of applied force exhibited by the user. Supervising practitioners can use the experimental data to determine the number of impacts and force applied during a simulation.

description: We develop a Bayesian inference framework to quantify uncertainties in epidemiological models. We use SEIJR and SIJR models involving populations of susceptible, exposed, infective, diagnosed, dead and recovered individuals to infer from covid-19 data rate constants, as well as their variations in response to lockdown measures. To account for confinement, we distinguish two susceptible populations at different risk: confined and unconfined. We show that transmission and recovery rates within them vary in response to facts. A key unknown to predict the evolution of the epidemic is the fraction of the population affected by the virus, including asymptomatic subjects. Our study tracks its time evolution with quantified uncertainty from available official data from the onset of the epidemic, limited, however, by the data quality. We exemplify the technique with data from Spain, country in which late drastic lockdowns were enforced for months. In late actions and in the absence of other measures, spread is delayed but not stopped unless a large enough fraction of the population is confined until the asymptomatic population is depleted. To some extent, confinement could be replaced by strong distancing through masks in adequate circumstances.

description: BACKGROUND: Symptomatic symmetrical peripheral neuropathy (SSPN) is common in patients with HIV infection. It is also a common adverse event associated with both tuberculosis (TB) treatment and antiretroviral therapy (ART), particularly stavudine. While tenofovir is the one of recommended first-line nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), there is a risk of nephrotoxicity when using tenofovir together with the aminoglycosides needed to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB. Thus, stavudine is often chosen as a treatment option for the HIV-infected MDR TB patient.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether use of stavudine both before and during treatment for MDR TB increased the prevalence and incidence of SSPN.

METHOD: MDR TB patients at Sizwe Tropical Disease Hospital were examined for signs of prevalent SSPN. Age, gender, HIV status, alcohol use, TB and HIV treatment regimens both prior to admission and current, and concomitant medications were recorded.

RESULTS: In this cohort of 246 patients, we found that 24.4% of patients with MDR TB had SSPN at time of admission for treatment of MDR TB. They were more likely to be HIV-infected (odds ratio (OR) 3.21; 95% CI 1.25 - 8.21) and tended to have longer (>7 months) exposure to stavudine (OR 1.81; 95% CI 0.90 - 3.63). Incident SSPN occurred in 17% of patients and was associated with older age (hazard ratio (HR) 3.00; 95% CI 1.30 - 6.89) and exposure to terizidone (HR 2.98; 95% CI 0.94 to 4.61) or, to a lesser extent, with stavudine (crude HR 1.62; 95% CI 0.65 - 4.01) in the first 6 months of MDR TB treatment. This common adverse event emphasises the need for the development of less toxic drugs for the treatment of MDR TB.

description: Parasitic two-level tunneling systems originating from structural material defects affect the functionality of various microfabricated devices by acting as a source of noise. In particular, superconducting quantum bits may be sensitive to even single defects when these reside in the tunnel barrier of the qubit's Josephson junctions, and this can be exploited to observe and manipulate the quantum states of individual tunneling systems. Here, we detect and fully characterize a system of two strongly interacting defects using a novel technique for high-resolution spectroscopy. Mutual defect coupling has been conjectured to explain various anomalies of glasses, and was recently suggested as the origin of low frequency noise in superconducting devices. Our study provides conclusive evidence of defect interactions with full access to the individual constituents, demonstrating the potential of superconducting qubits for studying material defects. All our observations are consistent with the assumption that defects are generated by atomic tunneling.

description: Zusammenfassung Ziel dieser Literaturrecherche ist es, die Existenz und den Umfang der Interaktion des Genotyps mit der Umwelt (GUI) unter den Bedingungen ökologischer und konventioneller Produktionssysteme merkmalsspezifisch aufzuzeigen. GUI-Studien basieren entweder auf die Auswertung großer Praxisdaten oder auf experimentelle Versuchsanstellungen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden mögliche Methoden zur Quantifizierung von GUI hinsichtlich ihrer Vor- und Nachteile umfassend diskutiert. Ein interessanter methodischer Ansatz zur Quantifizierung von GUI ist die Bestimmung der genetischen Korrelation für ein definiertes Merkmal in zwei Haltungssystemen. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, dass GUI weniger bezüglich der Milchleistungsmerkmale sondern interessanterweise vor allem bei funktionellen Merkmalen bzw. Gesundheitsmerkmalen zu erwarten sind. Wir stehen offensichtlich erst am Anfang spezielle GUI in der Rinderzüchtung konsequent zu erfassen. Dies ist in besonderer Weise unter den Bedingungen des Vorhandenseins sehr differenzierter Milchproduktionssysteme (ökologisch vs. konventionell) anzuerkennen. In einem nachfolgenden Beitrag (2. Teil) werden das Vorhandensein von GUI in ausgewählten Merkmalen - bei Clustering möglicher Umweltstufen (vorrangig im konventionellen Bereich) - detaillierter untersucht.

description: BACKGROUND: Tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) are both recommended for routine screening of healthcare workers (HCWs) in low tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries. More recently, based on scarce data, the World Health Organization strongly recommended that IGRA should not be used for occupational screening in high-burden settings.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) determined among highly exposed HCWs and low-exposed medical students in Johannesburg, South Africa. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study using both TSTs and IGRAs to determine the prevalence rate of LTBI in 79 medical students and 120 HCWs providing HIV and/or TB care.

RESULTS: The prevalence of LTBI among HCWs was 2- to 4-fold higher than that among medical students (56.7% v. 26.6% TST-positive; 69.2% v.15.2% IGRA-positive, respectively), with 3-fold higher odds for TST positivity and 12-fold higher odds for IGRA positivity among HCWs compared with students. Despite the perception of being at high risk, few HCWs protected themselves against LTBI. The majority of HCWs reported that they would participate in annual TST or IGRA screening.

CONCLUSION: Infection control strategies and occupational screening programmes for professional and lay HCWs, as well as medical students, should be implemented in all high-burden settings. Further research is needed to determine whether IGRA or TST is the optimal assay for periodical screening of HCWs in high-burden settings.

description: Zusammenfassung Eine Genotyp × Umwelt-Interaktion (GUI) bedeutet, dass Genotypen in unterschiedlichen Umwelten unterschiedlich exprimieren. Dies hat im Wesentlichen folgende Konsequenzen: 1) für verschiedene spezifische (Produktions-)Umwelten können verschiedene optimal produzierende Genotypen gezüchtet werden, und 2) Umweltveränderungen können zu unterschiedlichen phänotypischen Antworten verschiedener Genotypen führen. GUI-Studien basieren entweder auf die Auswertung großer Praxisdaten oder auf experimentellen Versuchsanstellungen. Das Ziel dieser Literaturrecherche ist es, die Existenz und den Umfang von GUI merkmalsspezifisch aufzuzeigen. In Milchrinderzuchtprogrammen sollten GUI für die Ertrags- und Exterieurmerkmale, falls sich die Haltungs-, Klima- und Fütterungsumwelten nicht sonderlich unterscheiden, von untergeordneter Bedeutung angesehen werden. Vergleichsweise wenig ist bezüglich des Vorhandenseins von GUI für Gesundheits- und/oder Merkmale der Futteraufnahme/Futtereffizienz bekannt. Hier deuten erste Untersuchungen auf die Existenz züchterisch relevanter GUI hin. Die (künftige) Etablierung solcher Zuchtprogramme mit konsequenter Einbeziehung von Gesundheitsmerkmalen (z.B. Mastitis) und weiteren funktionellen Merkmalen (z.B. Futteraufnahme) lassen erwarten, dass hier vorhandene spezifische GUI berücksichtigt werden müssen. Wir stehen offensichtlich erst am Anfang spezielle GUI in der Rinderzüchtung konsequent zu erfassen. Dies ist in besonderer Weise unter den Bedingungen des Vorhandenseins sehr differenzierter Milchproduktionssysteme sowie des internationalen Spermahandels (-austausches) anzuerkennen.

description: Eilenodontines are one of the oldest radiation of herbivorous lepidosaurs (snakes, lizards and tuatara) characterized by batteries of wide teeth with thick enamel that bear mammal-like wear facets. Unlike most reptiles, eilenodontines have limited tooth replacement making dental longevity particularly important to them. We use both X-ray and neutron computed tomography to examine a fossil tooth from the eilenodontine Eilenodon (Late Jurassic, USA). Of the two approaches, neutron tomography was more successful and facilitated measurements of enamel thickness and distribution. We find the enamel thickness to be regionally variable, thin near the cusp tip (0.10 mm) but thicker around the base (0.15–0.30 mm) and notably greater than that of other rhynchocephalians such as the extant Sphenodon (0.08–0.14 mm). The thick enamel in Eilenodon would permit greater loading, extend tooth lifespan and facilitate the establishment of wear facets that have sharp edges for orally processing plant material such as horsetails (Equisetum). The shape of the enamel dentine junction indicates that tooth development in Eilenodon and Sphenodon involved similar folding of the epithelium but different ameloblast activity.

description: BACKGROUND: Target setting is useful in planning, assessing and improving antiretroviral treatment (ART) programmes. In the past 4 years, the ART initiation environment has been transformed due to the change in eligibility criteria (starting ART at a CD4+ count <350 cells/µlv. <200 cells/µl) and the roll-out of nurse-initiated management of ART. OBJECTIVE: To describe and illustrate the use of a target-setting model for estimating district-based targets in the era of an expanding ART programme and changing CD4+ count thresholds for ART initiation. METHOD: Using previously described models and data for annual new HIV infections, we estimated both steady-state need for ART initiation and backlog in a North West Province district, accounting for the shift in eligibility. Comparison of actual v. targeted ART initiations was undertaken. The change in CD4+ count threshold adds a once-off group of newly eligible patients to the pool requiring ART - the backlog. The steady-state remains unchanged as it is determined by the annual rate of new HIV infections in previous years. RESULTS: The steady-state need for the district was 639 initiations/month, and the backlog was ~15 388 patients. After the shift in eligibility in September 2011, the steady-state target was exceeded over several months with some backlog addressed. Of the total backlog for this district, 72% remains to be cleared. CONCLUSION: South Africa has two pools of patients who need ART: the steady-state of HIV-infected patients entering the programme each year, determined by historical infection rates; and the backlog created by the shift in eligibility. The healthcare system needs to build long-term capacity to meet the steady-state need for ART and additional capacity to address the backlog.

description: A review of the literature on the current applications of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indications, their rationale and their place in diagnosis and management of breast cancer was given. Contrast-enhanced breast MRI is developing as a valuable adjunct to mammography and sonography. Its high sensitivity for invasive breast cancer establishes its superiority in evaluation of multifocality/multicentricity, tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, detection of recurrence, and staging. Emerging applications include spectroscopy, usage of new contrast agents, and MRI-guided interventions, including noninvasive treatment of breast cancer. Its potential benefit in screening high-risk women has yet to be established with prospective studies, particularly with regard to false positive results.

description: The deformation and exhumation history of an orogen reflects the interactions between tectonic and surface processes. We investigate orogenic wedge deformation, erosion, and sedimentation in the Pyrenees by (a) quantifying the spatiotemporal patterns of exhumation across the southern fold-thrust belt (FTB) with bedrock apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology and (b) comparing the results with existing deformation, exhumation, and sedimentation chronologies. Eighteen new samples record exhumation during and after orogenesis between 90 and 10 Ma. Rocks from the range core (Axial Zone) record rapid exhumation that progresses east to west and north to south, consistent with patterns of tectonically driven uplift. Synorogenic sediments shed into piggyback basins on the southern fold-thrust belt during mountain building retain a detrital exhumation signal from the Axial Zone. In contrast, samples from other structural positions record exhumation of the thin-skinned Pyrenean thrust sheets, suggesting sediment burial and heating of sufficient magnitudes to reset the AFT system (>~3 km). In some locations, exhumation of these fold-thrust structures is likely an erosional response to thrust-driven rock uplift. We identify an exhumation phase ~25–20 Ma that occurs along the central and eastern Spanish Pyrenees at the boundary between thick- and thin-skinned portions of the wedge. We suggest that this distributed exhumation event records (a) a taper response in the southern orogenic wedge to sediment loading and/or (b) a shift to wetter, stormier climate conditions following convergence-driven uplift and full topographic development. A final exhumation phase between ~20 and 10 Ma may record the excavation of the southern fold-thrust system following base level lowering in the Ebro Basin.
