description: Introduction: Le thrombus flottant de l’oreillette gauche est rare. Il se produit habituellement au niveau d’une oreillette gauche très dilatée avec une stagnation du flux sanguin, résultat d’une sténose mitrale rhumatismale sévère avec fibrillation atriale. Observation clinique : Nous rapportant l’observation clinique d’une patiente de 58 ans, qui s’est présentée aux urgences pour un œdème pulmonaire associé à un syndrome oedémato-ascétique et une oligurie. L’exploration initiale a retrouvé une insuffisance rénale pré-terminale . La patiente a bénéficié en urgence d’une séance d’hémodialyse, au terme de cette séance, elle a présentée une obnubilation sans trouble de focalisation et une ischémie aigue du membre inférieur droit. L’ECG a révélé une arythmie complète par fibrillation auriculaire. L’échocardiographie transthoracique a retrouvé un rétrécissement mitral rhumatismal, associé à un énorme thrombus flottant de l’OG L’échographie doppler rénale et l’angioscanner abdominal ont mis en évidence un infarctus rénal gauche secondaire à une embolie de l’artère rénale gauche. Le scanner cérébral était normal. La patiente a été opérée en urgence. Les suites opératoires étaient marquées par la récupération d’une fonction rénale et une revascularisation du membre inferieur droit. Cependant la patiente a présenté à J+2 une hémiplégie gauche suite à un infarcissement hémorragique cérébral conduisant au décès de la patiente à J+8. Conclusion : Le thrombus de l’OG est une complication classique du rétrécissement mitral. Il est associé à des complications graves. Le traitement médical seul par anticoagulants ou thrombolytiques est réservé aux cas très graves contre-indiquant une chirurgie ou chez les patients refusant l’intervention.

description: Linksatriale Makroreentrytachykardien sind eine seltene Form von Vorhofarrhythmien. Bisher existieren unterschiedliche Behandlungsstrategien. Wir untersuchten drei verschiedene interventionelle Ablationskonzepte hinsichtlich dauerhafter Arrhythmiefreiheit. Dabei zeigte sich, dass keines der Ablationskonzepte überlegen war. Allerdings ist die Rezidivrate von Makroreentrytachykardien nach ausgedehnten linksatrialen Ablationen deutlich höher als bei anderen Ablationsstrategien.

description: Few twentieth-century composers were considered more untimely than those who persisted in using the “old” tonal and romantic-sounding idioms. However, the best of them contributed many enduring works to the daily repertoire, and now many minor twentieth-century romantics are also proving to be of strong interest, particularly for discerning connoisseurs. Adding to their stature, the once-common progress narrative of musical evolution has been largely abandoned today, and we have reached the point where some of the major romantic figures have been recast as modern or even modernist.

description: Introduction : La gale norvégienne est une forme de gale hyperkératosique extrêmement contagieuse liée à une infestation par des Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Elle survient classiquement chez l’immunodéprimé. Observation : Nous rapportons un cas de gale norvégienne survenant chez un homme de 75 ans, sans antécédents particuliers, qui présentait depuis un an des lésions érythémateux-maculo-papuleuses évoluant vers la desquamation et étendu dans tous le corps en épargnant le visage et le cuir chevelu. Plusieurs diagnostic ont été évoqué à tort notamment le psoriasis. L'évolution était marquée par l'apparition de lésions croûteuses avec des squames hyperkératosiques. L’examen parasitologique direct, réalisé sur des lames préparées à partir de plusieurs prélèvements, obtenus par grattage des lésions cutanées, a mis en évidence de nombreux Sarcoptes scabiei et des galeries d’œufs, conduisant au diagnostic de la gale norvégienne. Après un traitement à base de benzoate de benzyle, le patient décédait dans un tableau de choc septique. Discussion et conclusion : La gale norvégienne devient de plus en plus rependue avec l’utilisation plus large des immunosuppresseurs. Son diagnostic est souvent porté tardivement et son traitement est difficile. Non traitée, l’infestation modifie le microbiote cutané et les surinfections sont fréquentes d’où l'importance d’un diagnostic précoce notamment chez le sujet âgé à fin d'éviter des complications potentiellement mortelles.

description: The study examines the influence of HPWPs and FLEs orientations on their work experiences; their customer relationship perception and potential business outcomes. The focus of the study is on FLEs in the Health and Hospitality industries. The hypothesised relationships are mediated by service customization. It is further hypothesised that these relationships are moderated by work intensification and fun at work. All proposed measures have robust psychometric properties in the two industries. Rival models were tested to establish which sets of variables are antecedents (HPWPs vs FLEs Orientations). The findings support the view that HPWPs are antecedents for FLEs marketing orientations.
Management Earnings Forecasts, Information Asymmetry, and Liquidity: An Empirical Investigation

description: This study investigates (1) whether forecasting firms have lower liquidity prior to the issuance of a management-earnings forecast than non-forecasting firms and (2) whether forecasting earnings has a persistent affect on a firm's liquidity. I find that, first, forecasting firms have greater liquidity in the period prior to a forecast. Second, while issuing forecast increases liquidity in over short windows, this effect is not significant over longer windows. Third, initiating or ceasing the issuance of earnings forecasts has no significant long-term effect on the firm's liquidity. Combined, these results suggest that management earnings forecasting decision does not appear to be driven by liquidity-improvement goals, and that management earnings forecasts do not appear to strongly affect firms' liquidity.

description: The ability to perceive others’ actions and goals from human motion (i.e., biological motion perception) is a critical component of social perception and may be linked to the development of real-world social relationships. Adult research demonstrates two key nodes of the brain’s biological motion perception system—amygdala and posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS)—are linked to variability in social network properties. The relation between social perception and social network properties, however, has not yet been investigated in middle childhood—a time when individual differences in social experiences and social perception are growing. The aims of this study were to (1) replicate past work showing amygdala and pSTS sensitivity to biological motion in middle childhood; (2) examine age-related changes in the neural sensitivity for biological motion, and (3) determine whether neural sensitivity for biological motion relates to social network characteristics in children. Consistent with past work, we demonstrate a significant relation between social network size and neural sensitivity for biological motion in left pSTS, but do not find age-related change in biological motion perception. This finding offers evidence for the interplay between real-world social experiences and functional brain development and has important implications for understanding disorders of atypical social experience.

description: Bisociative knowledge discovery is an approach that combines elements from two or more `incompatible' domains to generate creative solutions and insight. Inspired by Koestler's notion of bisociation, in this paper we propose a computational framework for the discovery of new connections between domains to promote creative discovery and inspiration in design. Specifically, we propose using topic models on a large collection of unstructured text ideas from multiple domains to discover creative sources of inspiration. We use these topics to generate a Bisociative Information Network - a graph that captures conceptual similarity between ideas - that helps designers find creative links within that network. Using a dataset of thousands of ideas from OpenIDEO, an online collaborative community, our results show usefulness of representing conceptual bridges through collections of words (topics) in finding cross-domain inspiration. We show that the discovered links between domains, whether presented on their own or via ideas they inspired, are perceived to be more novel and can also be used as creative stimuli for new idea generation.

description: Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation is widely employed in studying diffusion mechanisms and in quantifying diffusional properties of materials. However, AIMD simulations are often limited to a few hundred atoms and a short, sub-nanosecond physical timescale, which leads to models that include only a limited number of diffusion events. As a result, the diffusional properties obtained from AIMD simulations are often plagued by poor statistics. In this paper, we re-examine the process to estimate diffusivity and ionic conductivity from the AIMD simulations and establish the procedure to minimize the fitting errors. In addition, we propose methods for quantifying the statistical variance of the diffusivity and ionic conductivity from the number of diffusion events observed during the AIMD simulation. Since an adequate number of diffusion events must be sampled, AIMD simulations should be sufficiently long and can only be performed on materials with reasonably fast diffusion. We chart the ranges of materials and physical conditions that can be accessible by AIMD simulations in studying diffusional properties. Our work provides the foundation for quantifying the statistical confidence levels of diffusion results from AIMD simulations and for correctly employing this powerful technique.

description: The test of relational reasoning (TORR) is designed to assess the ability to identify complex patterns within visuospatial stimuli. The TORR is designed for use in school and university settings, and therefore, its measurement invariance across diverse groups is critical. In this investigation, a large sample, representative of a major university on key demographic variables, was collected, and the resulting data were analyzed using a multi-group, multidimensional item-response theory model-comparison procedure. No significant differential item functioning was found on any of the TORR items across any of the demographic groups of interest. This finding is interpreted as evidence of the cultural fairness of the TORR, and potential test-development choices that may have contributed to that cultural fairness are discussed.

description: In all known fermionic superfluids, Cooper pairs are composed of spin-1/2 quasi-particles that pair to form either spin-singlet or spin-triplet bound states. The “spin” of a Bloch electron, however, is fixed by the symmetries of the crystal and the atomic orbitals from which it is derived and, in some cases, can behave as if it were a spin-3/2 particle. The superconducting state of such a system allows pairing beyond spin-triplet, with higher spin quasi-particles combining to form quintet or septet pairs. We report evidence of unconventional superconductivity emerging from a spin-3/2 quasi-particle electronic structure in the half-Heusler semimetal YPtBi, a low-carrier density noncentrosymmetric cubic material with a high symmetry that preserves the p-like j = 3/2 manifold in the Bi-based Γ8 band in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling. With a striking linear temperature dependence of the London penetration depth, the existence of line nodes in the superconducting order parameter Δ is directly explained by a mixed-parity Cooper pairing model with high total angular momentum, consistent with a high-spin fermionic superfluid state. We propose a k ⋅ p model of the j = 3/2 fermions to explain how a dominant J = 3 septet pairing state is the simplest solution that naturally produces nodes in the mixed even-odd parity gap. Together with the underlying topologically nontrivial band structure, the unconventional pairing in this system represents a truly novel form of superfluidity that has strong potential for leading the development of a new series of topological superconductors.

D’origine multifactorielle, l’anémie est un facteur de comorbidité qui peut aggraver l’état général et la qualité de vie des patients . Le but de notre travail est d’étudier la fréquence et les caractéristiques ainsi que la prise en charge thérapeutique des anémies au cours de la RCH. Matériels et méthodes :Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective descriptive ayant porté sur 180 dossiers de RCH au service de gastro-entérologie du CHU Med VI de Marrakech. Résultats : on avait colligé 50 cas d’anémie soit une fréquence de 27.77%. Le sexe ratio était de 0.61. L’âge moyen était de 36.5 ans. 70% des patients étaient sous dérivés salicylés et 36% étaient sous immunosuppresseurs. 56% des patients étaient en pancolite. La poussée était sévère dans 50% des cas..L’anémie était ferriprive dans 32 % des cas, inflammatoire dans 26%. La prise en charge avait consisté en : la mise sous corticothérapie dans le cas d’anémie hémolytique auto immune, en la supplémentation en fer par voie orale chez 72% des patients, en une transfusion ou mise sous fer par voie parentérale chez 24 % des patients, ou à l’arrêt définitive du traitement de fond avec changement de celui-ci dans 8% des cas. Conclusion: L’anémie reste une complication fréquente au cours de la RCH qui doit susciter beaucoup d’attention de la part des cliniciens en vue d’améliorer la qualité de vie des patients porteurs de maladie inflammatoire chronique telle que la RCH.

description: Sea-level rise (SLR) will magnify the impacts of storm surge; the resulting severe flooding and inundation can cause huge damage to coastal communities. Community leaders are considering implementing adaptation strategies, typically hard engineering projects, to protect coastal assets and resources. It is important to understand the costs and benefits of the proposed project before any decision is made. To mitigate the flooding impact of joint effects of storm surge and SLR, building levee segments is chosen to be a corresponding adaptation strategy to protect the real estate assets in the study area—the City of Miami, FL, USA. This paper uses the classic Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) to assess the cost efficiency and proposes corresponding improvements in the benefit estimation, by estimating the avoided damages of implementing levee projects. Results show that the city will benefit from implementing levee projects along the Miami River in both a one-time 10 year storm event with SLR and cumulative long-term damage scenarios. This study also suggests that conducting CBA is a critical process before making coastal adaptation planning investment. A more meaningful result of cost effectiveness is estimated by accounting for the appreciation and time value. In addition, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to verify how the choice of discount rate influences the result. Uncertain factors including the rate of SLR, storm intensification, land use changes, and real estate appreciation are further analyzed.

description: This paper modeled the proximate determinants of rice outputs and groundwater depths in 27 Indian states during 1980–2010. Dynamic random effects models were estimated by maximum likelihood at state and well levels. The main findings from models for rice outputs were that temperatures and rainfall levels were significant predictors, and the relationships were quadratic with respect to rainfall. Moreover, nonlinearities with respect to population changes indicated greater rice production with population increases. Second, groundwater depths were positively associated with temperatures and negatively with rainfall levels and there were nonlinear effects of population changes. Third, dynamic models for in situ groundwater depths in 11 795 wells in mainly unconfined aquifers, accounting for latitudes, longitudes and altitudes, showed steady depletion. Overall, the results indicated that population pressures on food production and environment need to be tackled via long-term healthcare, agricultural, and groundwater recharge policies in India.

description: mHealth tools to help people manage chronic illnesses have surged in popularity, but evidence of their effectiveness remains mixed. The aim of this study was to address a gap in the mHealth and health psychology literatures by investigating how individual differences in psychological traits are associated with mHealth effectiveness. Drawing from regulatory mode theory, we tested the role of locomotion and assessment in explaining why mHealth tools are effective for some but not everyone. A 13-week pilot study investigated the effectiveness of an mHealth app in improving health behaviors among older veterans (n = 27) with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes. We developed a gamified mHealth tool (DiaSocial) aimed at encouraging tracking of glucose control, exercise, nutrition, and medication adherence. Important individual differences in longitudinal trends of adherence, operationalized as points earned for healthy behavior, over the course of the 13-week study period were found. Specifically, low locomotion was associated with unchanging levels of adherence during the course of the study. In contrast, high locomotion was associated with generally stronger adherence although it exhibited a quadratic longitudinal trend. In addition, high assessment was associated with a marginal, positive trend in adherence over time while low assessment was associated with a marginal, negative trend. Next, we examined the relationship between greater adherence and improved clinical outcomes, finding that greater adherence was associated with greater reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Findings from the pilot study suggest that mHealth technologies can help older adults improve their diabetes management, but a “one size fits all” approach may yield suboptimal outcomes.

description: The production of germ cells in vitro would open important new avenues for stem biology and human medicine, but the mechanisms of germ cell differentiation are not well understood. The chicken, as a great model for embryology and development, was used in this study to help us explore its regulatory mechanisms. In this study, we reported a comprehensive genome-wide DNA methylation landscape in chicken germ cells, and transcriptomic dynamics was also presented. By uncovering DNA methylation patterns on individual genes, some genes accurately modulated by DNA methylation were found to be associated with cancers and virus infection, e.g., AKT1 and CTNNB1. Chicken-unique markers were also discovered for identifying male germ cells. Importantly, integrated epigenetic mechanisms were explored during male germ cell differentiation, which provides deep insight into the epigenetic processes associated with male germ cell differentiation and possibly improves treatment options to male infertility in animals and humans.

description: Early-life experiences with caregivers can significantly affect offspring development in human and non-human animals. While much of our knowledge of parent-offspring relationships stem from mother-offspring interactions, increasing evidence suggests interactions with the father are equally as important and can prevent social, behavioral, and neurological impairments that may appear early in life and have enduring consequences in adulthood. In the present study, we utilized the monogamous and biparental California mouse (Peromyscus californicus). California mouse fathers provide extensive offspring care and are essential for offspring survival. Non-sibling virgin male and female mice were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups following the birth of their first litter: (1) biparental care: mate pairs remained with their offspring until weaning; or (2) paternal deprivation (PD): paternal males were permanently removed from their home cage on postnatal day (PND) 1. We assessed neonatal mortality rates, body weight, survival of adult born cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and anxiety-like and passive stress-coping behaviors in male and female young adult offspring. While all biparentally-reared mice survived to weaning, PD resulted in a ~35% reduction in survival of offspring. Despite this reduction in survival to weaning, biparentally-reared and PD mice did not differ in body weight at weaning or into young adulthood. A sex-dependent effect of PD was observed on new cell survival in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, such that PD reduced cell survival in female, but not male, mice. While PD did not alter classic measures of anxiety-like behavior during the elevated plus maze task, exploratory behavior was reduced in PD mice. This observation was irrespective of sex. Additionally, PD increased some passive stresscoping behaviors (i.e., percent time spent immobile) during the forced swim task—an effect that was also not sex-dependent. Together, these findings demonstrate that, in a species where paternal care is not only important for offspring survival, PD can also contribute to altered structural and functional neuroplasticity of the hippocampus. The mechanisms contributing to the observed sex-dependent alterations in new cell survival in the dentate gyrus should be further investigated.

description: Une grande diversité de produits est utilisée en milieu hospitalier. Les risques chimiques liés à leur utilisation sont nombreux. Le maintien de l’utilisation de produits toxiques en milieu hospitalier peut se justifier, mais ceci nécessite la mise en place d’une politique de prévention qui peut comporter une réorganisation des activités des structures et des services hospitaliers, des formations, de nouveaux équipements de protection. Une synergie entre nos différents services hospitaliers et structures externes (médecine du travail, organismes agréés, etc.) s’impose pour mener à bien l’ensemble de ces démarches. Ce travail ne prétend pas l’exhaustivité mais a pour objectif de rappeler les principales caractéristiques et risques toxiques à l’exclusion des produits cytostatiques, de produits de médecine nucléaire et des produits caustiques auxquels un nombre restreint de personnel hospitalier est exposé.

Ergebnisse einer risikoadaptierten und funktionsorientierten Radioiodtherapie bei Patienten mit Immunhyperthyreose
(Morbus Basedow)
Creators: name: Neumann, Volker Christof
Publisher: name: Universität Rostock
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: 610 Medical sciences Medicine

description: 351 Patienten mit M. Basedow wurden nach einem funktionsoptimierten und risikoadaptierten Dosiskonzept mit Radioiod behandelt. Ziel war die Wiederherstellung einer euthyreoten Stoffwechsellage durch simultane Berücksichtigung mehrerer prätherapeutischer Risikofaktoren unter Anpassung der Zielherddosen (125-250 Gy). Die so erreichte Euthyreoserate von 44,4% lag über Literaturangaben anderer funktionsoptimierter Studien bei vergleichbarer Gesamterfolgsrate von 66,7% (Eu- oder Hypothyreose). Eine weitere Steigerung der Euthyreoserate auf 50% wurde durch individuelle Halbwertzeitbestimmung erzielt.

description: Sekundäre Pflanzenstoffe zeigen Potential als Arzneistoffe in der Medizin eingesetzt zu werden. Die vorliegende in vitro Studie zeigt, dass ein Extrakt der Flatterulmenrinde (Ulmus laevis) proliferationshemmend auf hormonaktive Endometrium- und Mammakarzinomzellen wirkt (MTT-Test / BrdU-Test). Es weist dabei sehr geringe Zytotoxizitäten auf (LDH-Test). Inhaltsstoffe wie Sterole/Terpene, Phytoestrogene, Fettsäuren sowie andere Substanzen konnten mittels Massenspektrometrie nachgewiesen werden. Das getestete Extrakt wirkt antiproliferativ und hat damit antikanzerogenes Potential.

description: While scholars have studied democratic backsliding in the West, rapid democratic backsliding in the Global South is relatively underexplored, and the role of social media is unclear. Through a mixed-methods analysis of pro and anti-military Facebook and Telegram posts and offline protests and state violence in the backsliding democracy of Myanmar, our research expands current understandings of connective action in the Global South. Supported by both qualitative and quantitative data, we find that the interaction between offline state violence and offline protests is mediated by engagement on Facebook and Telegram, and thus that social media in Myanmar is integral to democratic social movements against the authoritarian state.

description: Les auteurs rapportent dans ce papier les étapes de la conduite à tenir initiale devant un pneumothorax spontané, aussi bien diagnostique que thérapeutique. Nous discutons les différentes méthodes d’évacuation de l’air pleural avec énumération du taux de succès pour chacune d’elle, et ainsi que les facteurs de risque essentiellement en cas de pneumothorax spontané primaire. Le choix de la technique demeure toujours un problème non résolu, par ailleurs, en pratique, le drainage thoracique représente la méthode la plus utilisé.

description: Les tumeurs rénales représentent 5 à 8% de l’ensemble des tumeurs pédiatriques. La tumeur de Wilms constitue près de 95% d’entre elles. Typiquement la tumeur de Wilms prend naissance à partir du parenchyme rénal. Elle naît rarement du système collecteur et par conséquent prend un aspect botryoïde. Nous nous proposons de mener une comparaison entre la tumeur de Wilms typique et sa forme botryoïde à travers un cas pris en charge à l’Hôpital d’Enfants de Rabat, soutenus par les données de la littérature. Dans notre travail, nous étudions successivement les aspects étiologiques, cliniques, para-cliniques et thérapeutiques des de cette forme particulière. L’âge de diagnostic de la tumeur de Wilms botryoïde variait entre 4 mois et 9 ans avec un cas âgé de 84 ans. La plupart des patients étaient d’origine asiatique. Les tumeurs de Wilms botryoïdes sont proposées être originaires des restes néphrogéniques intralobaires situés dans la paroi pyélocalicielle. Les manifestations cliniques de la tumeur de Wilms botryoïde comprennent : une hématurie macroscopique 66,67%, une masse abdominale 36,67% et une hydronéphrose 58%. Le diagnostic préopératoire repose sur l’échographie et la TDM abdominale et la confirmation par l’histologie. Dans les cas rapportés dans la littérature, le pronostic de la tumeur de Wilms botryoïde semble presque aussi bon que celui de la tumeur de Wilms classique après un traitement par une néphro-urétectomie radicale suivie d’une chimiothérapie avec ou sans radiothérapie selon le protocole du NWTS-5.

description: MPs communication on Twitter with other MPs may facilitate forming cross-party solidarity networks and provide public micro deliberation but may also be segregated leading to information bubbles and political polarization. That party-based division lines are running through the online communication networks of politicians is a well-established finding in social media studies; however important knowledge gaps have remained on the complexity of Twitter’s multilayered network developments and their interrelatedness with socio-demographic segregation. Here, we integrate the online-network literature with that on the political consequences of the digital architecture of social media platforms to theorize and scrutinize the extent to which and why Twitter following, @-mentioning and retweeting networks among MPs are segregated along party lines and sex, age and ethnicity. Our unique dynamic take allows us to rigorously study network segregation, including feedback mechanisms between Twitter layers, based on descriptive network statistics and SIENA analyses for Dutch MPs at three time points. The findings show that political segregation patterns are strongest within the retweet layer and weakest for @-mentions. The interrelations between the Twitter network layers aggravate party-based segregation over time. MP Twitter networks are not consistently segregated along social dimensions.
