description: Objective Failure of membrane oxygenator (MO) function of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenators (VV ECMO) remains problematic. The development of device-induced coagulation disorder (COD) or worsened gas transfer (WGT) necessitates a system exchange. The aim was to correlate von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag) with the predisposition to MO failure and mortality. Methods Laboratory parameters (inflammation, coagulation) and ECMO-related data from 31 VV ECMO patients were analyzed before and after the first MO exchange. Study groups were identified according to the exchange reasons (COD, WGT) and the extent of vWF:Ag (low, <= 425%; high, >425%). Results vWF:Ag remained unchanged after system exchange. High vWF:Ag was associated with systemic endothelial activation of older and obese patients with elevated SOFA score, increased norepinephrine and higher requirement of continuous renal replacement therapy without an effect on MO runtime and mortality. Including the mechanism of MO failure (COD, WGT), various patient group emerged. COD/low vWF:Ag summarized younger and less critically ill patients that benefit mainly from ECMO by a significant improvement of their inflammatory and coagulation status (CRP, D-dimers, fibrinogen) and highest survival rate (91%). Instead, WGT/high vWF:Ag presented older and more obese patients with a two-digit SOFA score, highest norepinephrine, and aggravated gas transfer. They benefited temporarily from system exchange but with worst survival (33%). Conclusions vWF:Ag levels alone cannot predict early MO failure and outcome in VV ECMO patients. Probably, the mechanism of clotting disorder in combination with the vWF:Ag level seems to be essential for clot formation within the MO. In addition, vWF:Ag levels allows the identification different patient populations In particular, WGT/high vWF:Ag represented a critically ill population with higher ECMO-associated mortality.

description: Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) is a promising cooling technique for future quantum technology applications. Cooling units for ADRs are cheap and reliable while enabling base temperatures comparable to those obtained in dilution refrigerators. A challenge is the presence residual magnetic fields originating from the magnet used for recharging the paramagnetic salts, as these lower the operation fidelity of superconducting circuits.With the advance of spin qubits and the recent demonstration of long-range coupling by superconducting resonators[1,2], controlling the magnetic environment is crucial. Further, controlling this is beneficial to operate spin qubits at low fields[3] or to implement superconducting-semiconducting hybrid devices in Germanium quantum wells[4,5].Here, we present the design of a 4 Kelvin two-stage mu-metal and Niobium magnetic shield[6] with ports for 4 superconducting RF wires, and 48 DC lines. The lowest temperature stage enters the magnetic shield through a feedthrough and contains an additional Copper radiation shield[7] around the sample space. Using finite element simulations, we quantify the magnetic shielding factor before manufacturing.To benchmark the ADRs shielding performance, we characterize a set of Niobium resonators, measuring their quality factors. First results indicate a competitive performance of these resonators in our customized set-up. To operate spin qubits, we plan on implementing a small superconducting magnet to control the field locally. We aim to achieve a reduced background field, magnetic field noise and avoid field exposure while recharging the salt pill. [1] P. Harvey-Collard et al. Phys. Rev. X 12, 021026[2] F. Borjans et al.

description: Lipofilling is a popular technique to treat volume loss in aging patients. The isolated adipose tissue is composed of adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction cells, which include adipose-derived stem cells (ASC). We hypothesize that the patient's wrinkle severity scale (WSS) and patient's satisfaction on the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) can be improved after using concentrated lipoaspirate. Fourteen patients (54 years +/- 11.09 years) with volume loss in the midface area underwent waterjet-assisted liposuction (Human Med AG, Schwerin, Germany). Fat was centrifuged in an ACP Double Syringe (Arthrex GmbH, Munich, Germany) using Rotofix 32A centrifuge (Andreas Hettich, GmbH & Co.KG, Tuttlingen, Germany). Homogenization was performed using the double syringe and a 1.4 mm female-female luerlock connector. After a second centrifugation, patients received periorbital (PO) and nasolabial (NL) lipografting. ASC count was performed after enzymatical digestion. Vitality of cells was assessed using a resazurin assay. During long-term follow up (12 months, n = 10), we found a high patient's satisfaction (GAIS 1+/-0.52) and a good improvement of the WSS during short- and long-term follow-up. The ASC count of processed lipoaspirate was 2.1-fold higher than of unprocessed lipoaspirate (p < 0.001). The difference of ASC in sedimented and simply centrifuged lipoaspirate was also significant (p < 0.05). Facial rejuvenation with concentrated fat graft offers good results concerning objective aesthetic outcome and patient's satisfaction.

description: The heaviest third-generation fermions are expected to be most sensitive to effects from Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, which will be probed with very high precision at a possible FCC-ee. In this thesis, a novel approach to measuring Electroweak Precision Observables in the beauty-quark sector is pioneered using exclusively reconstructed beauty-hadrons as hemisphere-flavour taggers for the partial decay-width ratio Rb and the forward-backward asymmetry AFBb, which receive virtual contributions from the heaviest states of the Standard Model (SM): top quarks, Higgs, and W± boson. This approach effectively eliminates the contamination from light-quark physics events and reduces leading systematic uncertainties; arising from background contamination, tagging-efficiency correlations, and radiated gluon corrections by exploiting the geometric and kinematic properties of beauty hadrons. This results in a total relative uncertainty of the order of 0.01 % for both observables. From AFBb, the weak mixing angle can be determined with a relative precision of 0.002 %. Building on this innovative methodology, the thesis is extended to the top-quark sector by extracting the sensitivity of top-quark observables to SM Effective Field Theory operators, which describe the effects of BSM physics by extending the SM with higher-dimensional operators on energy scales that are currently inaccessible. In a FCC-ee environment, top-quark pairs are reconstructed, and the expected observational precision is used to derive constraints on the Wilson coefficients that are up to a factor of five and three more stringent than those derived from top-quark measurements at LHC and HL-LHC, respectively.

description: Liver transplantation (LTx) is often the only possible therapy for many end-stage liver diseases, but successful long-term transplant outcomes are limited by multiple factors, including ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). This situation is aggravated by a shortage of transplantable organs, thus encouraging the use of inferior quality organs. Here, we have investigated early hepatic IRI in a retrospective, exploratory, monocentric case-control study considering organ marginality. We analyzed standard LTx biopsies from 46 patients taken at the end of cold organ preparation and two hours after reperfusion, and we showed that early IRI was present after two hours in 63% of cases. Looking at our data in general, in accordance with Eurotransplant criteria, a marginal transplant was allocated at our institution in about 54% of cases. We found that patients with a marginal-organ LTx showing evidence of IRI had a significantly worse one-year survival rate (51% vs. 75%). As we saw in our study cohort, the marginality of these livers was almost entirely due to steatosis. In contrast, survival rates in patients receiving a non-marginal transplant were not influenced by the presence or absence of IRI. Poorer outcomes in marginal organs prompted us to examine pre- and post-reperfusion biopsies, and it was revealed that transplants with IRI demonstrated significantly greater T cell infiltration. Molecular analyses showed that higher mRNA expression levels of CXCL-1, CD3 and TCR gamma locus genes were found in IRI livers. We therefore conclude that the marginality of an organ, namely steatosis, exacerbates early IRI by enhancing effector immune cell infiltration. Preemptive strategies targeting immune pathways could increase the safety of using marginal organs for LTx.

description: Zur Verringerung der Produktionskosten und Verbesserung der Arbeitsbedingungen werden Fähigkeiten von Menschen mit denen von Roboterarmen kombiniert. Im Kontext dynamischer Umgebungen erfordern neben der Kollisionsvermeidung auch die variablen und potenziell konfliktären Ziele zwischen Roboter und Mensch eine wiederkehrende Planung der Roboterbewegung. Die Arbeit verfolgt das Grundprinzip der wiederkehrenden Planung mit fortlaufendem Horizont über die Optimierung von lokalen Teilbewegungen. Im Mittelpunkt steht zum einen das Erreichen einer hohen Planungsfrequenz mit der Bewertung der Effektivität in dynamischen Umgebungen. Dafür erfolgt die systematische Auswahl der optimalen Kombination von Distanzfunktionen und der Repräsentation von Optimierungsproblem sowie Hindernissen ebenso wie die Ausnutzung spezieller Strukturen im Optimierungsproblem. Zum anderen steht die Durchführung und Bewertung von Versuchen zur Kollisionsvermeidung mit Personen sowie variablen und konfliktären Zielstellungen im Fokus. Maßnahmen zur Initialisierung sowie zur Vermeidung von strukturellen lokalen Minima runden die Arbeit ab.
description: To reduce production costs and improve working conditions, human skills are combined with those of robotic arms. In the context of dynamic environments, in addition to collision avoidance, time-varying and potentially conflicting objectives between robots and humans require repetitive robot motion planning. This thesis pursues the principle of repetitive planning with a moving horizon via optimizing local motions. On the one hand, the focus is achieving a high planning frequency and evaluating its effectiveness in dynamic environments. This involves systematically selecting the optimal combination of distance functions, the representation of the optimization problem and obstacles, as well as leveraging specific structures within the optimization problem. On the other hand, the focus lies on the implementation and evaluation of experiments for collision avoidance with individuals as well as dynamic and conflicting planning objectives. Measures for initialization and the avoidance of structural local minima complete the work.

description: Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Objective: The objective of this study is to identify possible sex-dependent differences in symptom-related disability in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: 103 consecutive outpatients (42 men and 61 women) with lumbar spinal stenosis were assessed on the basis of their medical history, the physical examination, and a series of questionnaires including the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire module 9 (PHQ-9), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS). Narrowing of the spinal canal was graded according to the method established by Schizas. Parameters were statistically analyzed according to the biological sex of the patients. The influence of the variables on the disability scores was analyzed by means of a multivariate regression model. Results: Symptom severity was equally distributed between men and women. Female patients showed higher RMDQ and ODI scores as well as significantly higher intermediate depression scores. The confounding variables age, pain chronicity, and psychological affection as well as the symptoms level of pain and paresis were dependent on patient sex. Conclusion: The study shows sex-depended differences in the perception of symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis and disability of life. The findings suggest that the main mediators are pain perception and psychological influences on the quality of life.

description: This thesis presents several approaches that generalize the Laplace-Beltrami operator and its closely related gradient and divergence operators to arbitrary polygonal and polyhedral meshes. We start by introducing the linear virtual refinement method, which provides a simple yet effective discretization of the Laplacian with the help of the Galerkin method from a Finite Element perspective. Its flexibility allows us to explore alternative numerical schemes in this setting and to derive a second Laplacian, called the Diamond Laplacian with a similar approach, but this time combined with the Discrete Duality Finite Volume method. It offers enhanced accuracy but comes at the cost of denser matrices and slightly longer solving times. In the second part of the thesis, we extend the linear virtual refinement to higher-order discretizations. This method is called the quadratic virtual refinement method. It introduces variational quadratic shape functions for arbitrary polygons and polyhedra. We also present a custom multigrid approach to address the computational challenges of higher-order discretizations, making the faster convergence rates and higher accuracy of these polygon shape functions more affordable for the user. The final part of this thesis focuses on the open degrees of freedom of the linear virtual refinement method. By uncovering connections between our operator and the underlying tessellations, we can enhance the accuracy and stability of our initial method and improve its overall performance. These connections equally allow us to define what a ``good'' polygon would be in the context of our Laplacian. We present a smoothing approach that alters the shape of the polygons (while retaining the original surface as much as possible) to allow for even better performance.

description: Das übergeordnete Ziel und die Leistung der vorliegenden Dissertation liegen in der Untersuchung der Vielfältigkeit von Erreichbarkeiten und deren subjektiver Wahrnehmung. Durch die Wahl eines Multi-Methoden-Ansatzes und der integrierten Analyse der objektiven und wahrgenommenen fußläufigen Erreichbarkeit in Zusammenhang mit dem realisierten Mobilitätsverhalten, verknüpft die vorliegende Dissertation die Perspektiven der Verkehrsforschung und -planung mit der sozialpsychologischen Perspektive. So können kleinräumige Erreichbarkeitsanalysen erweitert und ein besseres Verständnis des Ursachen- und Wirkungsgefüges von Raumstrukturen, individueller Wahrnehmung und Mobilität ermöglicht werden. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Zielgruppen der Menschen ab 65 Jahren sowie Familien mit Kindern unter 15 Jahren hinsichtlich ihrer wahrgenommenen fußläufigen Erreichbarkeit in zwei urbanen Quartieren in den Hamburger Stadtteilen Bahrenfeld und Barmbek-Nord untersucht. Die empirischen Bausteine der vorliegenden Arbeit umfassen eine kleinräumige Bestandsaufnahme und eine quantitative Personenbefragung, inklusive einem Wegetagebuch, in den ausgewählten Untersuchungsräumen. Die vorliegende Arbeit leistet mit ihren Ergebnissen einen wichtigen Beitrag für die Erreichbarkeitsforschung, indem sie aufzeigt, wie Wahrnehmungen der Erreichbarkeit erfasst, operationalisiert und analysiert, wie Determinanten der wahrgenommenen Erreichbarkeit identifiziert und in ein planungspraktisches Tool übersetzt werden können. Die Arbeit erweitert demgemäß die wissenschaftliche und planungspraktische Perspektive auf die Erreichbarkeitsforschung und -planung, unterstützt langfristig eine inklusive und fußgängerfreundliche Stadtplanung und kann einen Beitrag zu Erkenntnissen von Wirkmechanismen zur Nutzungsverlagerung vom Pkw hin zum ÖV, Fahrrad und dem Zufußgehen leisten, immer vor dem Hintergrund: Why and how perceptions matter!

description: Cause and mechanisms of persistent dyspnoea after recovery from COVID-19 are not well described. The objective is to describe causal factors for persistent dyspnoea in patients after COVID-19. We examined patients reporting dyspnoea after recovery from COVID-19 by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. After exclusion of patients with pre-existing lung diseases, ten patients (mean age 50±13.1 years) were retrospectively analysed between May 14th and September 15th, 2020. On chest computed tomography, five patients showed residual ground glass opacities, and one patient showed streaky residua. A slight reduction of the mean diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide was noted in the cohort. Mean peak oxygen uptake was reduced with 1512±232 ml/min (72.7% predicted), while mean peakwork rate was preserved with 131±29 W (92.4% predicted). Mean alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (AaDO2) at peak exercise was 25.6±11.8 mmHg. Mean value of lactate post exercise was 5.6±1.8 mmol/l. A gap between peak work rate in (92.4% predicted) to peak oxygen uptake (72.3% pred.) was detected in our study cohort. Mean value of lactate post exercise was high in our study population and even higher (n.s.) compared to the subgroup of patients with reduced peak oxygen uptake and other obvious reason for limitation. Both observations support the hypothesis of anaerobic metabolism. The main reason for dyspnoea may therefore be muscular.

description: (1) Background—Mapping language using direct cortical stimulation (DCS) during an awake craniotomy is difficult without using more than one language paradigm that particularly follows the demand of DCS by not exceeding the assessment time of 4 s to prevent intraoperative complications. We designed an intraoperative language paradigm by combining classical picture naming and verb generation, which safely engaged highly relevant language functions. (2) Methods—An evaluation study investigated whether a single trial of the language task could be performed in less than 4 s in 30 healthy subjects and whether the suggested language paradigm sufficiently pictured the cortical language network using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 12 healthy subjects. In a feasibility study, 24 brain tumor patients conducted the language task during an awake craniotomy. The patients’ neuropsychological outcomes were monitored before and after surgery. (3) Results—The fMRI results in healthy subjects showed activations in a language-associated network around the (left) sylvian fissure. Single language trials could be performed within 4 s. Intraoperatively, all tumor patients showed DCS-induced language errors while conducting the novel language task. Postoperatively, mild neuropsychological impairments appeared compared to the presurgical assessment. (4) Conclusions—These data support the use of a novel language paradigm that safely monitors highly relevant language functions intraoperatively, which can consequently minimize negative postoperative neuropsychological outcomes.

description: Herein I present comprehensive studies on synthesis, structure, and photophysical behavior of a series of luminescent CuI phosphide (-PPh2) complexes supported by various mono- and bidentate phosphines displaying TADF behaviour. Depending upon the stoichiometry used two heteroleptic dimers and four heteroleptic polynuclear CuI clusters could be isolated from the self-assembly reaction of CuI-phosphide and phosphine ligand. These complexes are green-to-red (1-2 & 4-6) and NIR (3) photo-emitters with emission maxima varying over the range λmax = 515 to 890 nm. Moderate to high photoluminescence quantum yield (Ф = 20-44% ), with a relatively high radiative rate constant of up to 3 × 10^6 s^-1, and short lifetimes τ = 0.1-34 μs were observed. Compounds 2 and 5 exhibit pronounced thermochromism and evidence of dual TADF behaviour originating from two different types of excited states. I also report a new sterically demanding, electrophilic [2.2]isoindolinophanyl-based carbene (iPC) that bears a [2.2]paracyclophane moiety. The iPC ligand is a very potent π-chromophore, which participates in low energy IL-“through-space”-CT transitions in [Au(iPC)2]OTf (8) in the visible. The steric demand of the iPC leads to a high stability of 8 against air, moisture, or solvent attack, and ultralong-lived green phosphorescence with a lifetime of 185 μs is observed in solution. The beneficial photophysical and electronic properties of the iPC ligand, including a large accessible π surface area, were exploited by employing highly efficient energy transfer (EnT) photocatalysis in a [2+2] styrene cycloaddition reaction using 8, which outperformed other established photocatalysts in comparison. In addition I also describe a series of linear copper(I) carbene carbazolate complexes (9-12) bearing the [2.2]isoindolino-phanyl-based carbene (iPC) ligand as a potent excited state π-acceptor. The compounds show efficient TADF from ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (1/3LLCT) states with quantum yields of up to 0.8 and exceptional kr of 0.8-1.9×10^6 s^-1 that are among the fastest for CuI emitters, outcompeting traditional triplet emitters based on Ir^III and Pt^II.

description: Background: We aimed to evaluate the impact of knee periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) by assessing the patients' long-term quality of life and explicitly their psychological wellbeing after successful treatment. Methods: Thirty-six patients with achieved eradication of infection after knee PJI were included. Quality of life was evaluated with the EQ-5D and SF-36 outcome instruments as well as with an ICD-10 based symptom rating (ISR) and compared to normative data. Results: At a follow-up of 4.9 +/- 3.5 years the mean SF-36 score was 24.82 +/- 10.0 regarding the physical health component and 46.16 +/- 13.3 regarding the mental health component compared to German normative values of 48.36 +/- 9.4 (p < 0.001) and 50.87 +/- 8.8 (p = 0.003). The mean EQ-5D index reached 0.55 +/- 0.33 with an EQ-5D VAS rating of 52.14 +/- 19.9 compared to reference scores of 0.891 (p < 0.001) and 68.6 +/- 1.1 (p < 0.001). Mean scores of the ISR revealed the psychological symptom burden on the depression scale. Conclusion: PJI patients still suffer from significantly lower quality of life compared to normative data, even years after surgically successful treatment. Future clinical studies should focus on patient-related outcome measures. Newly emerging treatment strategies, prevention methods, and interdisciplinary approaches should be implemented to improve the quality of life of PJI patients.

description: Background
Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction (MI). Only a few isolated cases have been reported so far.

Case summary
We report the case of a patient with a large, obstructing intramyocardial haematoma of the ventricular septum following MI due to plaque rupture of the right coronary artery (RCA) and following successful coronary intervention. The clinically inapparent haematoma was discovered during routine echocardiography and confirmed by both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With non-surgical treatment, the patient remained clinically stable. Repeated echocardiography showed gradual regression of the haematoma. Follow-up echocardiography 3 months after the initial diagnosis demonstrated no evidence of septal haematoma.

Discussion
This report suggests that even large intramyocardial haematoma may recede without operative intervention. Echocardiography, CT, and MRI are all helpful in quantifying the size of the haematoma. The appropriate management should be patient-oriented, depending on clinical stability and progression of the haematoma. Conservative treatment in clinically stable patients suffering from septal haematoma following MI and coronary intervention can be a feasible option.

Notes
According to Rungs (1981), one caterpillar had been collected by Walker (1890) and, since then, the species had not been recorded in Morocco. Rungs (1981) also noted that the species bears a close resemblance to A. radoti (Le Cerf, 1924), which has been described from Morocco. According to the same author, there was a possibility that Walker had collected A. radoti instead of A. psi, given the uncertainty surrounding the occurrence of A. psi in Morocco during that period. Our specimens (n = 2) were collected from two localities, Ighalene and Timzilite and the DNA barcode showed a 99 % match with A. psi. Habitus and female genitalia are illustrated in Fig. 6.

description: Phaiomys leucurus Blyth 1863
Phaiomys leucurus Blyth 1863, J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 32: 89.
Type Locality: NW India, Ladakh, near Lake Chomoriri (= Tsomoriri).
Vernacular Names: Blyth's Mountain Vole.
Synonyms: Phaiomys blythi (Blanford 1875); Phaiomys everesti Thomas and Hinton 1922; Phaiomys petulans (Wroughton 1911); Phaiomys strauchi (Büchner 1889); Phaiomys tsaidamensis (Satunin 1903); Phaiomys waltoni (Bonhote 1905); Phaiomys zadoensis (Zheng and Wang 1980).
Distribution: Chinese provinces of S Xinjiang (Zhang et al., 1997), S Qinghai (Zheng and Wang, 1980) and Xizang (Feng et al., 1986) on the Tibetan Plateau (Hoffmann, 1996 a), and high altitudes in the Himalayas west to NW India (Jammu, Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh, above 4500 m; Agrawal, 2000).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as Microtus leucurus.
Discussion: Revised by Zheng and Wang (1980); allocation of tsaidamensis to P. leucurus documented by Hoffmann (1996 a). Hoffmann provided a detailed historical review of expeditionary routes and collection sites of P. leucurus on the Tibetian Plateau, and recorded places of sympatry with Lasiopodomys fuscus (formerly included in leucurus). Feng et al. (1986) also discussed and mapped distribution on the Tibetan Plateau (molar rows they illustrate are either incorrectly drawn or from another vole). Zheng and Wang (1980) recognized leucurus, waltoni, and zadoensis as subspecies. The older leucurus Gerbe, 1852, is a synonym of nivalis, a species transferred from Microtus to Chionomys (see that account). Should nivalis ever be returned to Microtus, the name blythi would have to replace leucurus, a doubtful eventuality considering the great phylogenetic distance between Chionomys and species of Microtus.

The Greatest Gift
Creators: name: Mazza, Ray
Publisher: name: Play Story Press
Year: 2024

description: The Greatest Gift (as written about in Tabletop: Analog Game Design), is a card game about figuring out what the other players would most like out of real life, and offering these things as gifts. Players score when their offered gifts are chosen above the others. The Greatest Gift is interesting and fun because:
- In order to advance, players must give the best gifts to each other.
- Learn that some players genuinely would rather have a pair of roller skates than their very own island.
- "Promise" cards prompt players to interact in entertaining or emotional ways that extend beyond the borders of normal games.
- Players get to learn the values of their friends in difficult or moral decisions.
- Many cards tailored towards sarcastic and humor-driven players.

description: The Anderson model is a discrete approximation of the Hamiltonian describing the quantum mechanical behaviour of electrons in crystals or metals, featuring a Schrödinger operator on a graph consisting of the sum of the discrete Laplace operator Δ and a random multiplication operator V_ω. Compressing this operator to the subspace of functions with support in a finite set Λ yields a hermitian matrix with real eigenvalues. This thesis provides the first explicit quantification of the uniform and almost-sure convergence of the normalized eigenvalue-counting functions N_ω^Λ of these matrix operators to the integrated density of states N of the original Anderson model. Results are given as concentration inequalities both for the lattice Z^d as well as general Cayley graphs of finitely generated amenable groups. Central to these results is a uniform law of large numbers, which is quantified by a bound on the Orlicz norm of a supremum over an empirical process. For Z^d, d ≥3 and suitable random fields V_ω there exists a universal constant K<1186 and sets Ω(n) such that |(|N_ω^(Λ_n )-N|)|_∞≤c(n) for all ω∈Ω(n) with explicit c(n)∼1/√n and P(Ω(n))≥1-2 exp⁡(-√(⌊n\/⌊√n⌋⌋^d )/⌊√n⌋K), where Λ_n=[0,n)^d∩Z^d. Analogous results for d=1,2 as well as approximations along monotiling Følner sequences are also given. For finitely generated amenable groups analogous bounds are shown along Følner sequences based on the Ornstein-Weiss concept of ε-quasitilings. Treatment for operators with unbound hopping range is also achieved in the case of the Laplace operator on long-range percolation graphs on Z^d.

description: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Measuring CMV-specific cellular immunity may improve the risk stratification and management of patients. IFN-gamma ELISpot assays, based on the stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with CMV pp65 and IE-1 proteins or peptides, have been validated in clinical settings. However, it remains unclear to which extend the T-cell response to synthetic peptides reflect that mediated by full-length proteins processed by antigen-presenting cells. We compared the stimulating ability of pp65 and IE-1 proteins and corresponding overlapping peptides in 16 HSCT recipients using a standardized IFN-gamma ELISpot assay. Paired qualitative test results showed an overall 74.4% concordance. Discordant results were mainly due to low-response tests, with one exception. One patient with early CMV reactivation and graft-versus-host disease, sustained CMV DNAemia and high CD8(+) counts showed successive negative protein-based ELISpot results but a high and sustained response to IE-1 peptides. Our results suggest that the response to exogenous proteins, which involves their uptake and processing by antigen-presenting cells, more closely reflects the physiological response to CMV infection, while the response to exogenous peptides may lead to artificial in vitro T-cell responses, especially in strongly immunosuppressed patients.

description: Successful primary closure of classic bladder exstrophy (BE) is crucial for development of bladder capacity and voided continence. It is universally agreed that an intensive pain management including the use of caudal epidural anesthesia is an essential cornerstone for the outcome of this complex surgery. Whether and to what extent pain is caused by structural or functional changes is not yet known. The nerve growth factor (NGF) is regarded as a marker for pain in different bladder disorders. This prospective study investigated the role of histological alterations and NGF in patients with BE including 34 patients with BE and 6 patients with congenital vesicoureterorenal reflux (VUR) who served as controls. Between January 2015 and April 2020 transmural bladder biopsies were taken from the posterior bladder wall during delayed primary bladder closure. The samples were stained for histological evaluation and subjected to immunohistochemistry to analyze NGFR p75. Differences in histological alterations were examined with Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney-U-test was used to compare the NGFR p75 staining intensity between patients with BE and controls. Patients with BE showed significantly more often acute inflammation (p < 0.001), squamous metaplasia (p = 0.002), and cystitis glandularis (p = 0.005) as well as NGFR p75 in the urothelium (p = 0.003) than patients with VUR. A limitation of this study is the small number of participants due to the rare disease entity. Similar to other painful bladder disorders, pain transmission in BE after intitial closure may in part be facilitated by elevated NGF signaling through its receptor.

Synonyms: Propliophenacomys L. D. Martin 1975.
Species and subspecies: 2 species:
Species Phenacomys intermedius Merriam 1889
Species Phenacomys ungava Merriam 1889
Discussion: Phenacomyine. Apart from Arborimus, nearest generic kin uncertain—placed as Arvicolinae incertae sedis (Chaline et al., 1999; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977); or with Phenacomyini, including Arborimus (Zagorodnyuk, 1990); Arvicolini, including Phaiomys and certain extinct genera (Repenning et al., 1990); or Myodini (McKenna and Bell, 1997). The rooted molars and lack of cement in reentrant angles are plesiomorphic traits that suggest an early differentiation of Phenacomys within the arvicoline radiation, and paleontologists have proposed its origin from a lineage of Beringian Mimomys in the early Pliocene (Repenning and Grady, 1988; Repenning et al. 1987). Early cladistic separation is also suggested by phylogenetic analysis of highly repetitive DNA (LINE-1) elements, in which Phenacomys forms an unresolved basal trichotomy with Dicrostonyx and a third branch subtending seven other genera surveyed (Modi, 1996). Revised by Howell (1926) and Hall and Cockrum (1953), then including species assigned to Arborimus (see that account).
We acknowledge phenacomyine in an informal sense because Phenacomyini, as coined by Zagorodnyuk (1990:27), is a nomen nudum and unavailable. Zagorodnyuk used the formal name in a paragraph listing of arvicoline tribes and member genera, without indicating its status as new and lacking any statement of differentiation. In view of the old and pronounced phyletic separation of Phenacomys suggested by the above studies, taxonomic sampling should be broadened and the family-group clade properly named and diagnosed should such a conclusion prove sustainable.
