description: To identify the optimal treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after the regression of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs). The subjects were 232 patients with RA who developed LPD between 2000 and 2017 at seven hospitals participating in the LPD-WG study. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional regression analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with the rate of LPD relapse and the retention of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). Treatment for RA was resumed in 138 patients after spontaneous regression of LPD after the discontinuation of methotrexate and in 52 patients after chemotherapy for LPD (persistent-LPD). LPD relapses occurred in 23 patients. Not DMARDs use but Hodgkin’s lymphoma was identified as a risk factor for LPD relapse. In 88 RA patients treated with bDMARDs [tocilizumab, 39 patients; abatacept 20 patients; tumor necrosis factor inhibitor, 29 patients], the one-year retention rate was 67.8%. The risk factors for discontinuation of bDMARDs were persistent-LPD, non-diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (non-DLBCL), and a high clinical disease activity index (CDAI). Tocilizumab showed the highest retention rate among bDMARDs, particularly in DLBCL. Although any bDMARD could be used in patients after LPD regression, effectiveness and risk for relapse should be carefully assessed for each LPD subtype.

description: Glucocorticoids are important drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. We recommend glucocorticoid discontinuation as soon as possible given the associated side-effects, but many patients continue to take oral glucocorticoids long-term. The present study aimed to explore factors associated with glucocorticoid discontinuation at 52 weeks after initiating biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). Subjects were 564 patients from a Japanese multicenter registry who were administered glucocorticoids and methotrexate (MTX) followed by initiation of the first bDMARD. We examined the status of oral glucocorticoid use at 52 weeks after initiating the first bDMARD. By 52 weeks after bDMARD initiation, 164 patients (29.1%) discontinued glucocorticoids. Multivariable analysis identified age, MTX dose, and glucocorticoid dose as factors independently associated with glucocorticoid discontinuation. After adjusting for baseline characteristics using propensity score matching, among patient groups administered MTX ≤ 8 mg/week and MTX > 8 mg/week, 105 pairs remained. A significantly higher rate of glucocorticoid discontinuation (41.0%) was noted for patients administered MTX > 8 mg/week. Our findings suggest that glucocorticoids may be discontinued after initiating bDMARDs. Moreover, higher MTX doses (>8 mg/week) at the time of bDMARD initiation were associated with glucocorticoid discontinuation among patients treated with bDMARDs.

description: Purpose: To evaluate fixation stability and retinal sensitivity in the central 10º in Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), correlating these values with focal retinal changes on retinography and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). Methods: A cross-sectional observational study enrolling patients with intermediate AMD, analyzed concerning microperimetric macular sensitivity (MP3 Microperimeter, Nidek®, Inc.), color retinography and FAF (Topcon® DRI OCT). Other variables considered were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fixation stability and FAF pattern. Results: This study evaluated 33 eyes of 18 patients with mean age of 75,55±6,14, and a mean BCVA of 71±9,1 letters (modified EDTRS grid). Mean retinal sensitivity was 21,9±5,04dB, and mean bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) 99,6% was 13,61±9,51º2, with 30,3% of eyes showing relatively unstable fixation. Concerning the individual analysis of macular points (N=561), we identified a greater decrease in retinal sensitivity in points of decreased FAF (17±8,3dB) and increased FAF (13,06±6dB) comparing with normal FAF (9,6±4,6dB) (p<0.001). Conclusions: Changes in FAF seem to be closely related to decreased focal retinal sensitivity. BCVA may be insufficient as a retinal function evaluation tool in intermediate AMD, with most patients showing altered fixation stability and multiple focal changes in retinal sensitivity in the central 10º. Microperimetry could become a valuable tool in functional follow-up of these patients, in correlation with FAF as a structural evaluation exam.

description: We report on the design and the construction of a sounding rocket payload capable of performing atom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates of 41K and 87Rb. The apparatus is designed to be launched in two consecutive missions with a VSB-30 sounding rocket and is qualified to withstand the expected vibrational loads of 1.8 g root-mean-square in a frequency range between 20–2000 Hz and the expected static loads during ascent and re-entry of 25 g. We present a modular design of the scientific payload comprising a physics package, a laser system, an electronics system and a battery module. A dedicated on-board software provides a largely automated process of predefined experiments. To operate the payload safely in laboratory and flight mode, a thermal control system and ground support equipment has been implemented and will be presented. The payload presented here represents a cornerstone for future applications of matter wave interferometry with ultracold atoms on satellites.

description: In the absence of inhibition, excitatory neuronal networks can alternate between bursts and interburst intervals (IBI), with heterogeneous length distributions. As this dynamic remains unclear, especially the durations of each epoch, we develop here a bursting model based on synaptic depression and facilitation that also accounts for afterhyperpolarization (AHP), which is a key component of IBI. The framework is a novel stochastic three dimensional dynamical system perturbed by noise: numerical simulations can reproduce a succession of bursts and interbursts. Each phase corresponds to an exploration of a fraction of the phase-space, which contains three critical points (one attractor and two saddles) separated by a two-dimensional stable manifold $Σ$. We show here that bursting is defined by long deterministic excursions away from the attractor, while IBI corresponds to escape induced by random fluctuations. We show that the variability in the burst durations, depends on the distribution of exit points located on $Σ$ that we compute using WKB and the method of characteristics. Finally, to better characterize the role of several parameters such as the network connectivity or the AHP time scale, we compute analytically the mean burst and AHP durations in a linear approximation. To conclude the distribution of bursting and IBI could result from synaptic dynamics modulated by AHP.

Wir bieten eine alternative Erklärung für den Befund, dass das Wahlverhalten von Katholiken bezüglich der Alternative für Deutschland regional nach ehemals preußischen und ehemals nichtpreußischen Gebiet variiert. Unsere Erklärung stellt auf die Unterschiede in der programmatisch-ideologischen Position von Bundes-CDU und Landesverbänden der Union beziehungsweise CSU in den Bundestagswahlen 2017 und 2021 ab. Wir finden empirische Evidenz im Einklang mit dieser alternativen Erklärung, während die „Kulturkampf-These“ bei näherer Überprüfung nicht bestätigt wird.
description: This research note replicates Lukas Haffert’s 2022 article The Long-Term Effects of Oppression: Prussia, Political Catholicism, and the Alternative für Deutschland and tests that article’s thesis about the long-term effects of the Kulturkampf (“culture struggle”) on the voting behaviour of Catholic voters today. We offer an alternative explanation for the finding that the voting behaviour of Catholics with regard to the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) varies regionally between former Prussian and former non-Prussian areas. Our explanation focuses on differences in the programmatic–ideological position of the federal and state Christian Democratic Union associations and the Christian Social Union in the 2017 and 2021 federal elections. We find empirical evidence consistent with this alternative explanation, while the “Kulturkampf thesis” is not confirmed upon closer examination.

description: For multiqubit density operators in a suitable tensorial basis, we show that a number of nonunitary operations used in the detection and synthesis of entanglement are classifiable as reflection symmetries, i.e., orientation changing rotations. While one-qubit reflections correspond to antiunitary symmetries, as is known for example from the partial transposition criterion, reflections on the joint density of two or more qubits are not accounted for by the Wigner Theorem and are well-posed only for sufficiently mixed states. One example of such nonlocal reflections is the unconditional NOT operation on a multiparty density, i.e., an operation yelding another density and such that the sum of the two is the identity operator. This nonphysical operation is admissible only for sufficiently mixed states.

description: For sophisticated beam manipulation several ring accelerators at FAIR and GSI like the main synchrotron SIS100 and the ESR will be equipped with barrier bucket systems. Hence, the associated LLRF has to be applicable to different RF systems, with respect to the cavity layout and the power amplifier used, as well as to variable repetition rates and amplitudes. Since already the first barrier bucket pulse of a long sequence has to meet certain minimum demands, an open-loop control on the basis of calibration data is foreseen. Closed-loop control is required to improve the signal quality during a sequence of pulses and to adapt to changing conditions like temperature drifts. A test setup was realized that allows controlling the signal generator, reading out the oscilloscope as well as processing the collected data. Frequency and time domain methods can be implemented to approach the dynamics of the RF system successively and under operating conditions, i.e. generating single sine pulses. The setup and first results from measurements are presented as a step towards automated acquisition of calibration data and iterative improvement of the same.

description: The dielectric properties of alpha-MgH2 are investigated in the photon energy range between 1 and 6.5 eV. For this purpose, a novel sample configuration and experimental setup are developed that allow both optical transmission and ellipsometric measurements of a transparent thin film in equilibrium with hydrogen. We show that alpha-MgH2 is a transparent, colour neutral insulator with a band gap of 5.6 +/- 0.1 eV. It has an intrinsic transparency of about 80% over the whole visible spectrum. The dielectric function found in this work confirms very recent band structure calculations using the GW approximation by Alford and Chou [J.A. Alford and M.Y. Chou (unpublished)]. As Pd is used as a cap layer we report also the optical properties of PdHx thin films.

description: Adam-type optimizers, as a class of adaptive moment estimation methods with the exponential moving average scheme, have been successfully used in many applications of deep learning. Such methods are appealing due to the capability on large-scale sparse datasets with high computational efficiency. In this paper, we present a new framework for Adam-type methods with the trend information when updating the parameters with the adaptive step size and gradients. The additional terms in the algorithm promise an efficient movement on the complex cost surface, and thus the loss would converge more rapidly. We show empirically the importance of adding the trend component, where our framework outperforms the conventional Adam and AMSGrad methods constantly on the classical models with several real-world datasets.

RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION AFTER THERAPEUTIC EMBOLIZATION OF A DURAL ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA
Creators: name: Silveira E Silva, Diana
Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2018

description: Introduction : Retinal artery occlusive disease is generally caused by atherosclerosis. Dural intracranial fistulae are rare clinical entities with an incidence of 0.29/100.000 adults. Therapeutic embolization is considered according to its anatomical characteristics, and although infrequent, there is risk of secondary retinal branches embolization. Case report: We report the case of a 45-year-old man with history of a hemorrhagic stroke on the left hemisphere in the previous year secondary to an arteriovenous malformation associated with a para-cavernous arteriovenous fistula, who had sudden loss of visual acuity of the left eye 24 hours after therapeutic embolization of a dural para-cavernous arteriovenous fistula. On clinical examination he had a relative afferent pupillary defect on his left eye and fundus examination revealed a cherry red spot with attenuation and segmentation of retinal arterioles of the superior and inferior temporal arcades. The patient started ocular hypotensive drugs and was immediately referred to a hyperbaric oxygen therapy center, where he completed three therapeutic sessions. Despite evidence of retinal reperfusion after one session, final visual acuity was 0.05 in the affected eye. Conclusions: In this case, previous hemorrhagic stroke associated with a para-cavernous fistula was a formal therapeutic indication for embolization. Secondary embolization of retinal artery branches is an infrequent, though possible complication of therapeutic embolization procedures.

Based on a stress-energy tensor analysis we show the inherent instability of the well. We suggest that the Fermi mechanism is a possible process for pumping out electrons from the through, and linking this phenomena with electrostatic plasma instabilities. A power law distribution function for trapped electrons is also obtained. Analytical expressions are derived which can be used to calculate these characteristics from geometrical dimensions and the operational parameters of the discharge.

description: To clarify factors affecting 5-year survival rates and relapse rates after spontaneous regression (SR) of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This retrospective longitudinal study comprised 232 patients with RA diagnosed with LPDs between January 2000 and March 2017 at eight hospitals in Japan. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival and the Cox proportional hazard model was applied to identify predictive factors. Among all patients, 1-, 2- and 5-year overall survival rates were 89.5%, 86.1%, and 78.2%, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed four 5-year survival risk factors assessed at diagnosis: age above 70 years (p = .002), deep lymphadenopathy and/or more than one extranodal lesion (p = .008), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group/Zubrod performance status of 2–4 (p = .004), and classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) histology (p = .047). Among 143 patients who achieved SR, 2- and 5-year relapse rates were 14.2% and 24.9%, respectively. CHL histology (p = .003) and serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels exceeding 2000 IU/L (p = .014) were associated with post-SR relapse-free survival. Blood lymphocyte counts were significantly lower at relapse than at 3–6 months prior (p Assessment of the above risk factors and routine inspection of blood lymphocyte counts could aid in the care management of LPDs in RA.

description: At the GSI facility in Darmstadt, Germany, Barrier Bucket RF systems are currently designed for the SIS 100 synchrotron (part of the future FAIR facility) and the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR). The purpose of these systems is to provide single sine voltage pulses at the cavity gap. Due to the high requirements regarding the gap signal quality, the calculation of the pre-distorted input signal plays a major role in the system development. A procedure to generate the input signal based on the dynamic properties in the linear region of the system has been developed and tested at a prototype system. It was shown that this method is able to generate single sine gap signals of high quality in a wide voltage range. As linearity can only be assumed up to a certain magnitude, nonlinear effects limit the quality of the output signal at very high input levels. An approach to overcome this limit is to extend the input signal calculation to a nonlinear model of the system. In this contribution, the current method to calculate the required input signal is presented and experimental results at a prototype system are shown. Additionally, first results in the nonlinear region are presented.

description: The Lupus Damage Index Questionnaire (LDIQ) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure to assess accumulated damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We aimed to translate it into Japanese and further investigate its validity and reliability. The English version of the LDIQ was translated into Japanese and administered to Japanese patients with SLE (n = 259) at our university clinic. Physicians simultaneously completed the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Damage Index (SDI) and SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K). Patients were prospectively followed for a repeat assessment the following year. The median LDIQ score was 2.0. The LDIQ demonstrated substantial correlation with the SDI but poor correlation with the SLEDAI-2K (Spearman’s ρ = 0.75 and −0.08, respectively). These results suggested its convergent and discriminant validity. The LDIQ demonstrated good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.85). When the effect size and standardized response mean for the LDIQ were assessed only in patients who had a change ≥1 in the SDI, they demonstrated a small to moderate responsiveness: 0.43 and 0.59, respectively. The Japanese version of the LDIQ had acceptable reliability and validity and its performance was comparable with the original version.

description: A recently identified class of receivers which demultiplex an optical field into a set of orthogonal spatial modes prior to detection can surpass canonical diffraction limits on spatial resolution for simple incoherent imaging tasks. However, these mode-sorting receivers tend to exhibit high sensitivity to contextual nuisance parameters (e.g., the centroid of a clustered or extended object), raising questions on their viability in realistic imaging scenarios where little or no prior information about the scene is available. We propose a multi-stage passive imaging strategy which segments the total recording time between different physical measurements to build up the required prior information for near quantum-optimal imaging performance at sub-Rayleigh length scales. We show via Monte Carlo simulations that an adaptive two-stage scheme which dynamically allocates the total recording time between a traditional direct detection measurement and a binary mode-sorting receiver outperforms idealized direct detection alone for simple estimation tasks when no prior knowledge of the object centroid is available, achieving one to two orders of magnitude improvement in mean squared error. Our scheme can be generalized for more sophisticated imaging tasks with multiple parameters and minimal prior information.

description: FRW solutions of the string theory low-energy effective actions are described, yielding a dilaton which first decreases and then increases. We study string creation in these backgrounds and find an exponential divergence due to an initial space-like singularity. We conjecture that this singularity may be removed by the effects of back-reaction, leading to a solution which at early times is de Sitter space.

Influence of pre-operative refraction in LASIK surgery success
Creators: name: Rodrigues, Pedro Filipe
Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2018

description: Introduction LASIK surgery is an essential technique for the correction of myopia and/or myopic astigmatism. Results are described to be better in myopia lower than -6.00D and in astigmatism higher than 1.00D. Purpose To analyze the refractive characteristics that influence the surgical outcome of LASIK surgery. Material and Methods Retrospective study of consecutive cases of LASIK surgery performed to correct myopic error in Instituto de Oftalmologia Dr. Gama Pinto between 2010 and 2015. Results There were selected 392 eyes from 224 patients. The pre-operative spherical error varied between +1.75D and -9.00D (mean of -3.18D ±1.82), the cylindrical error varied between -0.25D and -6.00D (mean of -1.19D ±1.12) and the spherical equivalent varied between -0.38D and -9.38D (mean of -3.78D ±1.63). The mean uncorrected visual acuity after the surgery was 1,1 lines lower than the best corrected visual acuity, with a strong correlation between the sphere/spherical equivalent and the efficacy but with no correlation for astigmatism. Surgical success was achieved in 284 cases (72%). When comparing those with the cases without success, statistically significant differences were found between the groups, specifically concerning the sphere and spherical equivalent, without other significant differences. Grouping based on spherical equivalent confirmed statistically significant differences in surgical efficacy, mainly above -6.00D. Discussion Our results show an independent correlation between pre-operative refraction and surgical efficacy, especially regarding the sphere and spherical equivalent, which becomes particularly important in myopia higher than -6.00D.

description: High electronic excitations in radiation of metallic targets with swift heavy ion beams at the coulomb barrier play a dominant role in the damaging processes of some metals. The inelastic thermal spike model was developed to describe tracks in materials and is applied in this paper to some systems beams/targets employed recently in some nuclear physics experiments. Taking into account the experimental conditions and the approved electron-phonon coupling factors, the results of the calculation enable to interpret the observation of the fast deformation of some targets.

description: Over the last 20 years, consumers have spent a declining portion of their income on food for consumption at home, while the share of income spent on meals purchased at restaurants, cafeterias, and fast-food chains has held constant This article attempts to explain this phenomenon by estimating a 3-equation translog system of quarterly consumer demand for food consumed at home, purchased meals, and nonfood items An explicitly additive, nonlinear, nonhomothetic translog system is found to be the best representation Results indicate that rising consumer incomes rather than changing relative prices are the principal reason consumers are eating away from home more often
Single-particle spectral function formulated and calculated by variational Monte Carlo method with application to $d$-wave superconducting state

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: A method to calculate the one-body Green's function for ground states of correlated electron materials is formulated by extending the variational Monte Carlo method. We benchmark against the exact diagonalization (ED) for the one- and two-dimensional Hubbard models of 16 site lattices, which proves high accuracy of the method. The application of the method to larger-sized Hubbard model on the square lattice correctly reproduces the Mott insulating behavior at half filling and gap structures of $d$-wave superconducting state of the hole doped Hubbard model in the ground state optimized by enforcing the charge uniformity, evidencing a wide applicability to strongly correlated electron systems. From the obtained $d$-wave superconducting gap of the charge uniform state, we find that the gap amplitude at the antinodal point is several times larger than the experimental value, when we employ a realistic parameter as a model of the cuprate superconductors. The effective attractive interaction of carriers in the $d$-wave superconducting state inferred for an optimized state of the Hubbard model is as large as the order of the nearest-neighbor transfer, which is far beyond the former expectation in the cuprates. We discuss the nature of the superconducting state of the Hubbard model in terms of the overestimate of the gap and the attractive interaction in comparison to the cuprates.

description: Demand functions for rice in Colombia and Venezuela, estimated by means of ordinary least square, were unsatisfactory because of problems with multicollinearity An alternative approach, principal components regression, was tried Results showed that principal components regression estimates were more consistent with theoretical expectations and were statistically more significant The cost of these gains was that the coefficients were biased However, the mean-square-error tests indicated that the reduction in variance outweighed the loss due to bias
