description: Ophiomyia abutilivora Spencer
(Figs. 64–65)
Material examined. IOWA: Winneshiek Co., Decorah, Trout Run Trail, vii.2017, em. by 26.vii.2017, J. van der Linden, ex Abutilon theophrasti, # CSE4940, CNC1643668–1643669 (1♁ 1♀).
Hosts. Malvaceae: Abutilon theophrasti Medik.; adults have been collected on flowers of Sida cordifolia L. (Spencer & Steyskal 1986).
Larval mine. (Figs. 64–65) The larva mines up and down the stem, forming an irregular, gall-like “welt” and associated scarring.
Puparium. Whitish to yellowish; formed within the stem, with the anterior spiracles projecting through the epidermis.
Phenology and voltinism. The only reared specimens in the type series are from Mississippi with a date of 22 October; whether this was the collection or emergence date was not stated, but either way they would seem to represent a different generation from our Iowa specimens, which emerged from green stems in late July. Adults have been collected in August and September in Minnesota, and in March in Florida (Spencer & Steyskal 1986).
Distribution. USA: FL, *IA, [IL], MN, MS, [WI] (Spencer & Steyskal 1986).

description: Tobacco-use is the leading preventable cause of death and disability in the United States. During the first decades of the 20th century, lung cancer was rare; however, as cigarette smoking became increasingly popular the incidence of lung cancer became epidemic. In 1930, the lung cancer death rate for men was 4.9 per 100,000; in 1990, the rate had increased to 75.6 per 100,000. Today, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. Currently, there is no reliably effective therapy for patients with inoperable lung cancer. The prognosis for inoperable lung cancer is dismal because current therapies cannot control widespread metastases, which will eventually cause excruciating pain, vital organ dysfunction, and death. Development of new therapies for lung cancer is clearly a clinical priority.

 Our laboratory has engaged in developing new therapeutic strategies for lung cancer including gene therapy. The normal accumulation of iodide by the thyroid gland is accomplished by iodide uptake and retention. Using gene therapy, this iodide uptake and retention mechanism can be synthetically introduced into lung cancer cells. Recently, we have found that radioactive iodide (radioiodide) can be concentrated to therapeutic levels in lung cancer. Consequently, the elevated levels of radioiodide in lung cancer will lead to cancer cell death. To further explore the biological basis of this new therapy for lung cancer, we propose to define the parameters of radioiodide uptake and retention. This will include a series of studies to determine the optimal time and dose scheme for radioiodide administration, identification of intracellular proteins that bind radioiodide to facilitate slow turn-over, and cell death and repair mechanisms in response to radioiodide.

 A marked increase in radioiodide uptake and retention in lung cancer is achieved by introducing genes that are normally found in the thyroid gland but not normally present in lung cancer cells. Referred to as gene therapy, we simultaneously transfer two genes known as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) and thyroperoxidase (TPO) genes into lung cancer cells. NIS mediates iodide uptake and TPO causes iodide retention within the cells. Transfection of these two genes into lung cancer cells will lead to radioiodide accumulation and cell death. To improve the efficacy of this new therapy for lung cancer, we propose to construct new delivery systems for these genes by using viruses that can more efficiently enter tumor cells.

 These studies will provide information that will assist in both understanding and improving the efficacy of this new therapy for lung cancer using radioiodide. This will lead to further perfection of the system that could be eventually applied for locally advanced lung cancer in clinical trials.

(Fig. 68)
Material examined. NORTH CAROLINA: Durham Co., Durham, Leigh Farm Park, 4.v.2018, em. 25.v.2018, T. S. Feldman, ex Symphyotrichum patens, # CSE4558, CNC1144104 (1♀); 10.v.2018, em. 25.v.2018, T. S. Feldman, ex Symphyotrichum patens, # CSE4563, CNC1144103 (1♁).
Hosts. Asteraceae: Symphyotrichum * patens (Aiton) G.L.Nesom. We have seen similar leaf mines on S. cordifolium (L.) G.L.Nesom, S. georgianum (Alexander) G.L.Nesom, S. laeve (L.) Á.L̂ve & D.L̂ve, S. lateriflorum (L.) Á.L̂ve & D.L̂ve, S. novae-angliae (L.) G.L.Nesom, and S. novi-belgii (L.) G.L.Nesom.
Leaf mine. (Fig. 68) Mostly greenish and interparenchymal, with portions sometimes becoming discolored reddish or brownish; initially long, narrow, and linear, later becoming an elongate, poorly defined blotch running along both sides of the midrib. The linear portion is sometimes only intermittently visible on the upper surface.
Puparium. Whitish; formed within the leaf, with the anterior spiracles projecting through the lower epidermis. On Symphyotrichum patens, each puparium was found at the tip of one of the basal leaf lobes, which in one instance was 6 cm away from the apparent end of the mine.
Phenology and voltinism. Our North Carolina specimens were collected as larvae in early May, with adults emerging later that month. In New York, larvae are present in June and July (Scheffer & Lonsdale 2018).
Distribution. USA: NC, NY (Scheffer & Lonsdale 2018). We have seen similar leaf mines in GA, IA, MA, MD, NH, NJ, VT, and ON.
Comments. The only previous host record for this species is that of “possibly Symphyotrichum sp.” from Scheffer & Lonsdale (2018); the host genus is now confirmed.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2012

description: This study investigates the impact of Loan Loss Provisions (LLPs) on the financial statements of Rwandan banks from 2008 to 2012. Employing a quantitative methodology, the analysis utilized secondary data from banks' financial statements and regression models to explore trends, relationships, and implications of LLP practices. Key findings include a statistically significant negative correlation between LLPs and profitability (p < 0.01), with LLPs accounting for up to 26% of net income by 2012. The LLP coverage ratio showed a gradual improvement from 29.5% to 31.6%, reflecting enhanced credit risk management, while sectoral analysis identified manufacturing and agriculture as high-risk areas. Conclusions underscore the need for tailored sectoral policies and enhanced compliance frameworks to bolster financial stability. Recommendations include adopting advanced risk assessment tools, strengthening regulatory oversight, and fostering financial innovation to optimize LLP practices.

Material examined. IOWA: Allamakee Co., 5.ix.2017, em. spring 2018, J. van der Linden, ex Lactuca, # CSE4671, CNC1135659–1135660 (1♁ 1♀).
Hosts. Asteraceae: Chondrilla juncea L. (Spencer & Steyskal 1986), * Lactuca L.
Larval mine. An externally visible stem mine.
Puparium. Details not recorded by either Spencer & Steyskal (1986) or us, but we believe the puparium was not covered by a “scab” as described in the Comments under Melanagromyza sp. 2.
Phenology and voltinism. The holotype of O. chondrillae, from Washington, is labeled with a date of 11 July; whether this was the collection or emergence date was not stated, but there are evidently at least two generations since our Iowa specimens emerged in spring from stems collected in early September.
Distribution. USA: *IA, WA (Spencer & Steyskal 1986).
Comments. Ophiomyia chondrillae was described from a single specimen in poor condition (Spencer & Steyskal 1986), which we have not examined, but our specimens key readily to this species in Spencer & Steyskal (1986). The morphology of the flies reared from Lactuca seems to fit this species, and we suspect that slight differences in genitalic morphology compared to the original illustrations are due to error or a difference in the angle in which the phallus was illustrated. Given this, and the fact that the host is in the same tribe (Cichorieae) as that of the holotype, we choose to regard them as conspecific until we can examine specimens reared from Chondrilla.

Description
Teeth tall, rather narrow, laterally compressed apically, conical basally. Crown sharply curved distally except for anteriorly directed apical portion. Crown apex with sharp anterior carina; large posterior barb composed of translucent enamel. Tooth base with circular outline; shallow, centrally located pulp cavity.
Remarks
An elongated, distally curved tooth with a laterally compressed apex bearing a large posterior apical barb, and circular basal outline distinguish Trichiurides sagittidens from teeth of Sphyraena and Trichiurus. Trichiurides sagittidens teeth lack lateral carinae as seen on Eutrichiurides plicidens comb. nov. teeth. The Claiborne specimens in our sample appear to be conspecific with those described and figured by Winkler (1874b: 31, pl. 2, figs 22–23) as Trichiurides sagittidens. Trichiurides is monospecific and presently only known from laniary teeth. Thurmond & Jones (1981: 105, fig. 49) described and figured a tooth from the Tallahatta Formation in Monroe County, AL as Trichiurus sp., but a reexamination of this specimen showed it instead belongs to Trichiurides sagittidens.
Stratigraphic and geographic range in Alabama
The specimens in our sample were collected from the Tallahatta Formation at site AMo-8, the contact of the Tallahatta and Lisbon formations at sites ACh-14 and ACov-11, the basal Lisbon Formation at site ACov-11, the basal Gosport Sand at site ACl-4, and the Gosport Sand at site ACh-21 and ACl-15.

Material examined. OKLAHOMA: Payne Co., Meham, 36.014339° N, - 96.996744° W, 16– 21.iii.2018, em. 29.iii.2018, M.W.

Host. * Asteraceae: Lactuca L.
Leaf mine. (Fig. 69) Whitish, upper-surface (nearly full-depth), extending along the midrib from the base of the petiole to the blade, where irregular lobes or branches extend to either side (these may be partially green and interparenchymal); ~ 5 cm long in total. Frass is deposited densely along the midrib.
Puparium. Black, formed within a leaf (not necessarily the one with the conspicuous mine), on the lower surface near the base of the petiole, with the anterior spiracles projecting through the lower epidermis.
Phenology and voltinism. In Oklahoma, larvae and puparia (some already empty) have been found beginning in mid-March, with adults emerging from late March to mid-April. The holotype of O. frosti was collected in New York on 16 May (Spencer & Steyskal 1986).
Distribution. USA: NY (Spencer & Steyskal 1986), *OK.
Comments. Ophiomyia frosti was described from a single caught adult. Spencer & Steyskal (1986) noted that it closely resembles O. pulicaria (Meigen), known from western Canada and common in Europe, where it feeds on various genera of Cichorieae including Lactuca, forming midrib-based mines that are apparently indistinguishable from those from which our Oklahoma specimens were reared.
The new specimens differ from the type in usually having two ori (not three), but there is sometimes one on one side, and one male has three on one side. The specimens are slightly larger, with a wing length of 2.8–3.0 mm (not 2.3 mm); the male genitalia appear to match those of the holotype (Spencer & Steyskal 1986: Figs. 187, 188). Ophiomyia pulicaria differs in being smaller (wing length 1.9–2.2 mm), and in having a very broad and apically flattened distiphallus and an H-shaped basiphallus (ventral view—see Spencer (1976: Fig. 97)).

title: Optimising outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke
Creators: name: Mahmood, Ammad
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Intravenous thrombolysis is an established treatment for selected patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Outcome after intravenous thrombolysis is dependent upon a number of modifiable and non-modifiable factors. This thesis explored three themes in addressing how outcome after intravenous thrombolysis can be optimised:

• The potential for tenecteplase to be a superior thrombolytic drug to alteplase

• Improved patient selection through CT perfusion studies identifying groups at risk of poor outcome or greater benefit

• The effect of patient heterogeneity on outcomes in trials of acute ischaemic stroke

Tenecteplase is emerging as an alternative thrombolytic to alteplase in acute ischaemic stroke. Tenecteplase was studied in a prospective imaging substudy of a large multi-centre randomised controlled trial of tenecteplase versus alteplase in patients conventionally eligible for intravenous thrombolysis. Tenecteplase was found, in patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis within 4.5 hours of ischaemic stroke onset, to have similar outcomes to alteplase in efficacy and safety in cases of large vessel occlusion; similar efficacy in those with mismatch of CT perfusion imaging; similar rates of early recanalisation; and similar degree of penumbral salvage. A meta-analysis of trials comparing tenecteplase and alteplase found superiority of tenecteplase in functional outcomes and similar safety outcomes.

Tenecteplase was also studied in retrospective analyses of a combined cohort from two previous randomised controlled trials comparing alteplase and tenecteplase. CT perfusion studies examined the effect of varying rates of progression in ischaemia after the onset of acute ischaemic stroke; and differences in blood brain barrier permeability and how this relates to haemorrhagic transformation. Ischaemic progression rate was found to be a predictor of follow up infarct volume and infarct growth and a non-significant trend towards lower follow up infarct volumes in fast progressors treated with tenecteplase compared to alteplase was found. Measures of blood brain barrier permeability were found to be predictive of haemorrhagic transformation and tenecteplase was associated with higher blood brain barrier permeability in cases of haemorrhagic transformation than alteplase.

Thirdly, the effect of heterogeneity in participants in clinical trials of stroke and its effect on outcomes was studied. Follow up infarct volume was found to mediate a larger proportion of the relation between clinical outcomes and recanalisation than previously suggested. Heterogeneity in ischaemic progression rate of participants in trials of intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy was explored to highlight the effect of heterogeneity on trial outcome.

description: Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis, with smokers having at least a 2.5-fold increased incidence of coronary heart disease compared with non-smokers. Smoking reduces production of nitric oxide (NO) by endothelial cells, which line the walls of blood vessels. Cigarette smoke has been associated with abnormal endothelial cell and vascular smooth muscle cell function in animal models of atherosclerosis and in passive smokers.

 Nitric oxide is the most potent endogenous dilator of blood vessels known and it exerts its actions in a similar manner as anti-anginal drugs, such as nitroglycerin. It activates an enzyme within vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Cyclic GMP in-turn activates cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase), an enzyme which mediates vascular smooth muscle relaxation, but little is known about the downstream effects and targets of G-kinase in vascular smooth muscle cells.

 In this study, we propose to examine the changes that take place in vascular smooth muscle cells in response to NO signaling. The proteins or molecules undergoing these changes will be identified and studied. The role of NO as an anti-atherogenic molecule acting via G-kinase will be studied. Proteins activated or inhibited by NO/cGMP signaling in normal and pathological conditions will be identified.

 NO/cGMP/G-kinase signaling is important for controlling blood pressure, relaxation of vascular walls and regulating growth, differentiation and migration of vascular cells involved in atherogenesis. Given the importance of nitric oxide, studying and ultimately manipulating the NO/cGMP/G-kinase signal transduction pathway may provide novel therapeutic approaches to limit atherogenesis and other cardiovascular diseases.

Dispersion of silicon based micro-and nano-photonic structures and its device applications
Creators: name: Integlia, Ryan Anthony
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Significant dispersion can occur in silicon micro- and nano-photonic structures, such as photonic crystals and microresonators. These dispersions may cause the phase shift and group velocity of light to be highly wavelength dependent along a fixed propagation path, or cause the propagation direction of light to be highly sensitive to the wavelength. These two types of effects are called longitudinal dispersion and angular dispersion, respectively.  The slow-light effect is due to the longitudinal dispersion, and the angular dispersion is associated with the superprism effect in photonic crystals.  Though, longitudinal dispersion has a less apparent influence on the superprism effect, as revealed through a more in-depth analysis.  A synergistic theoretical framework of the dispersions is developed to enable a common examination of the longitudinal and angular dispersion in photonic crystal structures.  These dispersive effects can lead to undesirable consequences, such as large losses and/or narrow bandwidths.  For the slow-light effect, a basic proof will be shown for the scaling of random scattering losses due to fabrication imperfections in a photonic crystal waveguide.   For the superprism effect, a fundamental limit, the bandwidth-sensitivity product, will be presented that governs the maximum angular sensitivities and the achievable bandwidth. This product is the counterpart of the bandwidth-delay product for the slow-light effect.    A parallel-coupled dual racetrack silicon resonator structure is proposed and analyzed for arbitrary quadrature signal generation.  The over-coupled, critically-coupled, and under-coupled scenarios are systematically studied. Simulations indicate that only the over-coupled structures can generate arbitrary quadrature signals.  The effects of potential asymmetries in the coupling constants and quality factors of the two racetrack resonators are systematically studied. It is shown that these asymmetry effects can be compensated by small phase shifts in the two racetracks. The design, fabrication and characterization of silicon waveguides, resonator and periodic structures, including the parallel-coupled dual racetrack structure, will also be presented.  The results have shown successful coupling of resonators.    With the high dispersion of silicon micro- and nano-photonic structures, light can be modulated, switched, and steered with higher efficiency and lower power consumption. Thus this study may contribute to saving energy in photonic devices.

Factors influencing functional ability among community-dwelling adults with developmental disabilities
Creators: name: Hutchings, Barbara Lynn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Adults with developmental disabilities are increasingly reaching old age in significant numbers while living in community-based, non-institutional settings. The overlay of cognitive and physical age-related impairments onto existing intellectual and physical disabilities, a paucity of informal social relationships, and a limited education and low income levels place this generation at risk for premature behavioral limitations and dependency.    The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between individual functional ability in the performance of typical self-care and household activities, personal expectations of competency, and the physical and social environment of the home to better understand how these factors contribute to both the autonomy and dependency of people aging with developmental disabilities. This study hypothesized that physiological impairment, the built environment, and personal expectations would be among the factors impacting individual functional ability level. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this study gathered data from adults with developmental disabilities through individual in-person interviews and self-care/household task observations conducted in the participants' homes. A small sample of the consumers' direct care staff were also interviewed.    Results from the study revealed that both levels of participation and competency in the performance of self-care activities varied widely. Physical impairments, and particularly severe mobility impairments, had a stronger impact on functional ability than the cognitive impairments of the participants. Those who used wheelchairs for all mobility both reported and were observed to have very limited person-environment fit. Settings that offered a higher degree of supervision were also more likely to physically support a wide range of activities. Ninety percent of the interview participants expected to perform less well than they did during the task observation assessment. Qualitative data revealed that participants valued privacy, safety and a physically and socially supportive environment. These data also suggested factors that may have inhibited functional ability, such as an over-concern with the risks involved in participation, low perceptions of ability, and staffs' habitual caregiving behaviors. Methods of encouraging and fostering independence and autonomy in the home are discussed. Behavioral methods included having high expectations of consumers, encouraging consumers to attempt tasks that they previously may have considered too challenging, and supporting consumers to take calculated risks in order to develop judgment and increase skills. Environmental methods included providing supportive physical environments, modified to meet individual needs, and appropriate and timely home maintenance.

description: Inhalation of smoke into the lung causes a multiplicity of effects on the cells of the lung, all of which can be considered toxic or stressful in nature. These initial toxic stresses to the cells of the lung are the first stages in the development of a variety of tobacco related diseases including fibrosis, atherosclerosis and lung cancer. Of critical importance is understanding exactly how these stresses are translated into tobacco related diseases, in order to develop effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Although the complete understanding of this question remains elusive, what is known is that some of the first responses of lung cells to the stresses, imparted as a result of smoke inhalation, occur in the nucleus of the cell where changes in gene activity are seen. In many cases these changes consist of either overactivity or underactivity of certain genes. While the exact number and complete nature of these changes is not known, we do know that a specialized class of important proteins, called transcription factors, are the controllers of these changes. We are studying one of these transcription factors, called Egr-1, which is remarkably sensitive to many stresses imposed on cells including those generated by smoking. Furthermore, studies have shown a striking correlation between the role of Egr-1 in controlling gene activity, and the development of numerous lung diseases. Since Egr-1 is a transcription factor, it works by changing the activity of those genes it associates with. It is clear that in order to understand how Egr-1 contributes to diseases of the lung, we must identify the genes whose activity it influences, and this proposal is directly aimed at obtaining this exact type of knowledge.

 We have recently developed a technique which allows, for the first time, a detailed analysis of the position of transcription factor binding on DNA by chemically “locking” the protein in position in living cells. Using antibodies we can then purify Egr-1 together with chemically attached DNA. We propose to exploit this methodology to describe the exact complement of genes to which Egr-1 is bound in the nucleus of a living cell. The new method will generate “libraries” of previously unknown as well as known genes that are controlled by Egr-1 in the lung. This selection of genes will represent those in the human genome that are important in stress responses occurring in lung cells as they develop disease states. To begin developing newer and more effective treatments for tobacco related diseases, it is critical to have a more complete knowledge of the key genetic events that take place when lung cells are placed under stressful conditions.
