description: Canthon (Glaphyrocanthon) subcyaneus Erichson, 1848
Canthon subcyaneus Erichson 1848: 563 (Guyana)
Distribution. Guyana: Erichson 1848: 563; A. Schmidt 1922a: 81; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum). Suriname: RMNH - NEW COUNTRY RECORD (Suriname, Marowijne, Moengota-poe–Wia Wia. 13-X-1948. D. C. Geijskes.). French Guiana: Gillet 1911b: 34; Balthasar 1939e: 208; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631. Brazil: A. Schmidt 1922a: 81; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631; Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 191 (as C. (Glaphyrocanthon) subcyaneum). Venezuela: A. Schmidt 1922a: 81; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631. Other: A. Schmidt 1922a: 81 (Colombia); Blackwelder 1944: 202 (Colombia - as C. subcyaneum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631 (Colombia); Medina et al. 2001: 136 (Colombia?).
Note. Gillet (1911b: 34) and Balthasar (1939e: 208) apparently misread the locality data as given by Erichson (1848: 563) and/or Harold (1868a: 117) and recorded Canthon subcyaneus for Cayenne (presentday French Guiana) instead of British Guiana (present-day Guyana). As Blackwelder (1944: 202) and Vulcano and Pereira (1964: 631) have mostly copied records from other unoriginal authors, their records from French Guiana may be based on the erroneous records of Gillet (1911b) and Balthasar (1939e). We have not seen recent records from French Guiana in the available literature. However, our new country record for Suriname, which comes from the east of this country, indicates that the species may be present in French Guiana after all, but this needs to be confirmed.

Study of wholesale drug costs and prescription fees
Creators: name: McMahon, James Douglas
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: The average prescription fee (APF) and the average wholesale cost (AWC) in Utah for the 18 leading therapeutic groups of drugs and for all prescriptions included in these classes were compared for the period of 1953-1961.  The APF for all of the leading therapeutic classes increased over the period of the survey except for the hormones and corticoids.  The AWC increased at a great rate than the APF for all groups except the antihistaminics, hormones, vitamins, and nutrients, sedatives and hypnotics, and the psychopharmacologic agents,  The increase in AWC for the several therapeutics groups was shown to be due primarily to the addition of newer more expensive products to the survey and the deletion of less expensive preparations.  The closeness of the relation between the APF and the AWC was determined by means of a correlation study.  A correlation coefficient of 0.60 or greater was obtained for 10 of the 18 leading therapeutic groups.  The APF for all prescriptions included in the Utah Survey increased from $2.13 in 1953 to $3.19 in 1961.  The average yearly increment in APF was 5.3 per cent.  The AWC for all prescriptions increased from $4.42 in 1953 to $8.93 in 1961.  The average yearly increment in AWC was 9.2 per cent, or about 4 per cent greater than that observed in APF.  The increase in the AWC was shown to be due to the addition of newer and more expensive preparations to the survey and the deletion of less expensive agents.  A correlation coefficient of 0.98 for all prescriptions included in the Utah Survey revealed a close relation between the APF and the AWC.  In addition, the coefficient of determination was 0.95 which indicated that 95 per cent of the variation in the APF was explained by the AWC.  These results indicate that the primary factor responsible for the increase in APF during the period of this study was increase AWC.

description: This work aimed to investigate the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, synergistic effect, and structure changes of the essential oil of Hymenaea rubriflora (EOHr). Forty-five constituents were identified in the essential oil, corresponding to 94.43% of the compounds present, being the main components E-Caryophyllene (36.72 ± 1.05%), Germacrene D (16.13 ± 0.31%), α-Humulene (6.06 ± 0.16%), β-elemene (5.61 ± 0.14%) and δ-Cadinene (3.76 ± 0.07%). Antimicrobial activity was evaluated, presenting antibacterial and antifungal activity with MIC ranging from 0.62 to 40 μL/mL. The essential oil had a synergistic effect when combined with gentamicin and fluconazole. Structural changes were also evaluated and it was possible to observe that EOHr action was related to changes in membrane permeability. The findings obtained here suggest that the use of the essential oil of H. rubriflora in the treatment of infectious diseases presents a potential for the future development of pharmaceutical products.

Enhancing Steganography Cover Selection: A Strategic Approach using ImTex Complexity and CCE Method

Subjects: steganography

description: This paper presents an innovative framework for enhancing data hiding in image steganography through strategic cover selection and embedding techniques. With the increasing need for secure data exchange, steganography offers a promising solution by embedding information imperceptibly within cover images. However, the success of this method relies heavily on the appropriate selection of cover images. To address this, we introduce an efficient cover selection method using Image Texture (ImTex) complexity analysis. This approach involves setting threshold values for various image properties to emphasize the selection of optimal cover images. Furthermore, we propose the Contrast Channel Embedding (CCE) method, which utilizes both high and low-contrast areas within image edges to embed information across RGB channels using LSB substitution. Our experiments demonstrate that this strategic approach significantly improves embedding capacity, data security, and imperceptibility, while maintaining high visual quality. By making the source code and datasets openly available, we aim to facilitate further research and applications in the field of image steganography.

description: We investigated the role of triterpene barbinervic acid from Eugenia punicifolia dichloromethane extract in vasopressor responses. Renal arteries were cannulated and perfused with Krebs-Hepes solution. Changes in aorta isometric tension were recorded and transferred to a data acquisition system. Cumulative curves were constructed based on the maximum effect of agonists. Barbinervic acid reduced the renal tonus induced by NA in a NO-dependent manner (IC50 = 30 μM). Triterpene (70 μM) also induced rapid and transient relaxation in aorta that had been precontracted with K+ (53.2 ± 0.05%) or phenylephrine (36.7 ± 0.05%). In silico data revealed two possible active sites for interactions between barbinervic acid and NO synthase. Barbinervic acid showed a vasodilator effect and could potentially be used as a template for developing new molecules for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

description: The methanolic extract of aerial parts of Tithonia tubaeformis showed significant antioxidant activity in DPPH assay. It was subjected to bioassay guided fractionation affording more active ethyl acetate fraction which on further purification led to the isolation and identification of a series of bioactive phenolic compounds having important biosynthetic relationship. Of these, 4-hydroxyphenethyl henicosanoate (tithonoid) is a new compound. Moreover, in the carrageenan induced paw edema test, significant attenuation of inflammation was also produced by the extract at 50-200 mg/kg. The structures of all the constituents were determined through spectroscopic methods. It is the first systematic biological and chemical investigation on T. tubaeformis, which showed that phenolics may play an important role in the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the plant, probably through synergism.

description: There is a great need for programs which assist students from low income and minority background in having the support and resources to attend and complete college. Gear Up is a program which seeks to meet this need by providing low-income students with scholarships as well as in school and after school tutoring. Although they provide excellent service to their students and East High School, they had a lack of training and orientation materials for their paid and volunteer tutors. It was decided that the creation of a training manual would be an excellent integrative service project to address this need. A manual was created including information about Gear Up as a program, the needs and risks of the population Gear Up serves, tutoring and mentoring skills. The community partner was pleased with the outcome of the project and made plans to implement its use as a standard training procedure, in the hopes of improving their tutor's understanding of the population and overall tutoring and mentoring skills.

description: The current study focuses on the chemical composition, and evaluation of antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the aerial parts of Centaurea resupinata subsp. dufourii. Using different chromatographic methods nine compounds 1–9 were isolated. The structural identification of isolated compounds was achieved using several spectroscopic methods NMR techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, COSY, HSQC, HMBC) and mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) and by comparison with literature data. The structures of these compounds were identified as nicotiflorin (1), apigetrin (2), chrysoeriol (3), apigenin (4), chrysin (5), daucosterol (6), β-sitosterol (7), taraxastrerol (8) and lupeol (9). The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts have been evaluated. The antioxidant activity was assessed in vitro using DPPH radical scavenging method, which showed that ethyl acetate extract possessed an interesting antioxidant potential (IC50 = 36.263 ± 0.005 μg/mL).

description: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic agent that can cause a variety of infections, both hospital and community-acquired. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a flavonoid present in the leaves of Camellia sinensis, has different biological activities, including antimicrobial potential. Here we evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm potential of EGCG in nine clinical strains of S. aureus with different genetic profile and antimicrobial susceptibilities. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of EGCG ranged from 7.81 to 62.5 μg/mL, and bactericidal activity was observed at 4 times the MIC. Sub-inhibitory concentrations were able to inhibit biofilm production. Concentrations ≤62.5 μg/mL of EGCG were non-cytotoxic for murine macrophages. EGCG significantly reduced the mortality of infected Galleria mellonella larvae with the S. aureus, having shown relevant antibiofilm properties and efficacy in inhibiting the growth of different clinical isolates of S. aureus, thus being a promising substance for the treatment of infections caused by this agent.

description: This study again confirms the need and efficacy of organized trauma care in the community and demonstrates that a field triage systems can be implemented and facilitate improved outcome for critically injured patients.  This was accomplished because of a concentrated effort by the hospitals and medical community to know the facts, develop the rationale for a system, plan operational details such as staffing and resources, implement and evaluate a program that would be in the patient's best interest.  Further research in needed to observe outcome of head injury patients over a longer time span by following patients through their rehabilitation course.  Charges and cost associated with the care of trauma patient is also an important issue that must be addressed in today's cost containment environment.  Lastly, to determine if the current trauma system is continuing to be effective in Salt Lake County, continued review and surveillance will be necessary.

data hiding

description: This paper presents an innovative framework for enhancing data hiding in image steganography through strategic cover selection and embedding techniques. With the increasing need for secure data exchange, steganography offers a promising solution by embedding information imperceptibly within cover images. However, the success of this method relies heavily on the appropriate selection of cover images. To address this, we introduce an efficient cover selection method using Image Texture (ImTex) complexity analysis. This approach involves setting threshold values for various image properties to emphasize the selection of optimal cover images. Furthermore, we propose the Contrast Channel Embedding (CCE) method, which utilizes both high and low-contrast areas within image edges to embed information across RGB channels using LSB substitution. Our experiments demonstrate that this strategic approach significantly improves embedding capacity, data security, and imperceptibility, while maintaining high visual quality. By making the source code and datasets openly available, we aim to facilitate further research and applications in the field of image steganography.

description: Ten triterpenoid glycosides including two undescribed compounds (1 and 2) were isolated from the methanol extract of Allium ascalonicum rhizomes. These compounds were structurally elucidated to be 3β-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-19α-hydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid 28-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl] ester (1), 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-3β,19α-dihydroxyoleanane-12-en-28-oic acid (2), lactifoloside C (3), lactifoloside H (4), randiasaponin IV (5), kudinoside G (6), ilexkudinoside W (7), lactifoloside G (8), kudinoside D (9), and ilexkudinoside T (10) by analyzing their HR-ESI-MS, NMR spectral data and by comparison with those reported in the literature. Compounds 1–10 were evaluated for anoctamin-1 (ANO1) inhibitory activity using yellow fluorescent protein reduction assays. At the concentration of 30 µM, compounds 2 and 9 displayed moderate ANO1 inhibitory percentages of 28.9 ± 0.85% and 26.2 ± 0.65%, respectively.

description: This work aimed to investigate the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, synergistic effect, and structure changes of the essential oil of Hymenaea rubriflora (EOHr). Forty-five constituents were identified in the essential oil, corresponding to 94.43% of the compounds present, being the main components E-Caryophyllene (36.72 ± 1.05%), Germacrene D (16.13 ± 0.31%), α-Humulene (6.06 ± 0.16%), β-elemene (5.61 ± 0.14%) and δ-Cadinene (3.76 ± 0.07%). Antimicrobial activity was evaluated, presenting antibacterial and antifungal activity with MIC ranging from 0.62 to 40 μL/mL. The essential oil had a synergistic effect when combined with gentamicin and fluconazole. Structural changes were also evaluated and it was possible to observe that EOHr action was related to changes in membrane permeability. The findings obtained here suggest that the use of the essential oil of H. rubriflora in the treatment of infectious diseases presents a potential for the future development of pharmaceutical products.

The U book
Creators: name: Hoang, William
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: The U Book serves to address the ongoing issue with low campus involvement attributed to the University of Utah's reputation of being a commuter campus. Although over 29,000 students attend the University, an overwhelming majority of students do not j o in student groups, attend school sponsored events, or participate in any other extracurricular activities. This indicates that students are missing out on the college experience which encompasses more than just attending classes but also interaction with the school's community of students, faculty, administration, and partners. As a project which began in the Fall of 2007, the U Book has developed into a resource available to all students to learn about opportunities and events that happen on campus. This year, the U Book underwent minor updates in response to feedback gained from students. Production of the second edition of U Book is on schedule to be available in early June before freshman orientation programs begin. Working in conjunction with the Orientation Office, orientation leaders will be distributing a free copy of the U Book to incoming students for the 2009 year. It is estimated that over 4,000 transfer and freshman students will be attending summer orientation programs. To enhance the services of U Book, a website will be constructed to meet the needs of students who may have questions about activities and can obtain their information conveniently online.

A cost comparison of two systems for the intermittent intravenous administration of small volume parenterals
Creators: name: Reilly, Robert Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: The decision-making process of a hospital pharmacy administrator include the determination of the most advantageous mean by which intravenously administered drugs may be prepared and distributed. Systems to accomplish the have become increasingly more efficient, less hazardous to the patient, but more costly to the Department of Pharmacy Services. these increases in costs have been passed on to the patient, and subsequently to third party payers of health care services. One such system is the piggyback bottle system, which is currently in use at University Hospital. The introduction of the prospective payment system by several third party payers of health care services will require hospital pharmacy administrators to evaluate and justify the cost of preparing and distributing intravenously administered drugs. A system which purportedly has the same advantages as those of the piggyback bottle system, but at a reduced cost to the Department of Pharmacy Services, is the Harvard Mini-Infuser System. A comparative of the two systems was performed to determine actual cost savings at University Hospital. The objective of this study was to determine the comparative personnel and material acquisition costs to the Department of Pharmacy Services at University Hospital of two systems for the intravenously administrations of drugs.

A preliminary report on the incidence of clinical and subclinical spontaneous pregnancy loss
Creators: name: Joy, Martha E.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: The preliminary purpose of this study was to document the incidence of clinical and subclinical spontaneous abortion in women who have no reproductive capability impairment. The relationship between prior oral contraception use and a subsequent increased incidence of spontaneous subclinical abortion was investigated. the incidence of clinically apparent spontaneous abortion ranges from 8.3 percent to 15 percent. Since factors such as increasing maternal age, prior spontaneous abortion, there is no "normal" incidence of abortion that applies to all women. Abortion risk increases with advancing maternal age, particularly after age 35 and especially over age 40. A history of prior spontaneous abortion increases the risk of subsequent spontaneous abortion, especially if the first abortion was associated with a normal karyotype. The effects of increasing gravidity are controversial; some investigators claim this factor constitutes an increasing risk for spontaneous abortion; others dispute the relevance of gravidity.

Preservice teachers' learning

description: To date, there has not been much research that examines the relationship between a learning theory course and preservice teachers' beliefs about learning. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine how preservice teachers' learning about learning theories influences their beliefs about learning within the context of a learning theory course. This study identified the beliefs and knowledge preservice teachers have  constructed about how people learn, and how these teachers make sense of multiple learning theories in relation to their beliefs about learning.

Investigation of antifungal resistance exhibited by candida albicans

Amphotericin B

description: The resistance exhibited by C. albicans biofilm, a common medical complication, has become a clinically important problem. Our lab was the first to separate and identify a small subpopulation of biofilm persister/ basal blastospores that are highly resistant to amphotericin B (AmB). An important aspect of the persister cells is that they are tightly adhered to the surface; the larger portion of the biofilm is easily sloughed off. While the mechanisms involved in formation of persister cell subpopulation are poorly understood, resistance could be due a number of factors. This study focuses on three possible mechanisms: 1) A reduction of ergosterol in the plasma membrane, 2) Increased production or cross linking of β-glucans in the cell wall and 3) Adhesion to surfaces. Ergosterol is the primary sterol in C. albicans. AmB acts by binding to ergosterol and creating channels in the membrane, which then causes unregulated leakage of ions, damages the cell and eventually causes its death. Ergosterol and intermediates were measured in the persister cells and compared to other biofilm fraction and planktonic. Results show a decrease in ergosterol and formation of intermediates and side products only in persister cells. Though the ergosterol reduction in persister cells is consistent with their resistant  behavior; it still does not explain the magnitude of resistance exhibited by these persister cells. The cell wall is physically and physiologically different from the plasma membrane. Direct analysis of the cell wall is scientifically challenging; however, one can analyze signaling pathways involved in cell wall synthesis. One such pathway involves the phosphorylation of MAP-kinase (MAPK). Results show that Mkc1 and Cek1 MAPK were activated in only the persister cells. The most striking feature of the persister cell population was their increased adherence to the tubing. Farnesol is a known quorum sensing agent for C. albicans. Results show that farnesol had drastically reduced the attachment of cells to the tubing surface. This is an important finding, as it gives us a new avenue to impede the process of persister cell formation. In summary,this work helped in gaining further insight into the formation of the persister cells.

description: For nearly 200 years, the only natural source of the alcohol ambrein has been coproliths produced in about 1% of sperm whales and in related jetsam. However, the finding of ambrein in adipocere/faeces of human corpses, led us to hypothesise that ambrein might occur in the faeces of other mammals. Herein, we used a recently developed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method, with suitable derivatisation of the hindered hydroxy group of ambrein, to screen a number of extracts of mammalian faeces. Minor proportions of ambrein were detected in digested human sewage sludge and in the dung of elephant, domestic cattle, giraffe and buffalo. Whether ambrein formation in the terrestrial species is associated with coprolith formation, is unknown, but solid deposits known as enteroliths and fecaliths occur in humans and some domestic animals.
