description: In a recent study published in this journal it was claimed that the rate of publications from US-based authors in the human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research field was slowing or even declining from 2008 to 2010. It was assumed that this is the result of long-term effects of the Bush administration’s funding policy for hESC research and the uncertain policy environment of recent years. In the present study, we analyzed a pool of more than 1,700 original hESC research papers published world-wide from 2007 to 2011. In contrast to the previous study, our results do not support the hypothesis of a decline in the productivity of US-based research but rather confirm a nearly unchanged leading position of US research in the hESC field with respect to both publication numbers and impact of research. Moreover, we analyzed about 500 papers reporting original research involving human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) published through 2011 and found a dominant position of US research in this research field as well.

description: Background: Glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (G/P; 300 mg/120 mg) is a new direct-acting antiviral (DAA) that exhibits anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) pan-genotype (GT) activity for 8, 12, or 16 weeks. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have received reports that using G/P causes moderate to severe liver impairment. In some cases, isolated hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice have been reported without concomitant evidence of increased transaminase levels or other hepatic decompensation events. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the incidence of drug-induced liver injury of G/P for chronic hepatitis C virus. Materials and methods: We searched databases from the inception of each database until March 2021. Data were pooled using a random-effects model. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool (RoB 2.0) and the OpenMeta [Analyst] software were performed for quality assessment and quantitative studies, respectively. The primary outcome was grade 3 level of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Results: The nine studies included in the meta-analysis involved a total of 7,650 participants, and the overall sustained virologic response rate was above 95%. The most frequent drug-related laboratory abnormalities in DILI involved total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and hemoglobin, but these abnormalities were minimal. The cirrhosis–without cirrhosis incidence risk ratio (IRR) was 2.724 (95% confidence interval: 1.182–6.276) in the grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia subgroup analysis. No significant differences were found within the other subgroups, in HCV GTs, and in treatment duration. Conclusions: DILI was found to occur frequently with G/P treatment. Hyperbilirubinemia occurred most frequently, especially, in patients with cirrhosis. However, G/P is still the primary therapy of choice for CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients due to a superior safety rate.

Myth and Mithraism in Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge

Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Mythology
subject: Fiction
subject: Nineteenth century
subject: English literature
subject: Idols and images

description: What T. S. Eliot called the “mythic method,” even in its modern form, was not an invention of Modernism. A significant precursor is Thomas Hardy, whose Mayor of Casterbridge has long been appreciated for its mythological structure and wealth of allusion. Here I suggest a new addition to mythological interpretation of the novel: the Greco-Roman deity Mithras and the iconography of the tauroctony. Extending a Frazerian reading of Michael Henchard and Donald Farfrae as rival “corn kings,” I suggest that each character successively takes on attributes of Mithras. In addition to strengthening the allegorical element of the novel, this reading coordinates the repeating taurine symbolism in the mythical narrative and offers some justification for certain scenes otherwise belied by their melodrama.

description: Determining the etiology of invasive fungal infections (IFI) is critical for patient management as fungi vary in their susceptibility to antifungals. However, the etiology remains obscure in many cases due to negative culture results. The identification of fungal DNA by PCR in pathology blocks and sequencing it is an alternative approach to determine the cause of IFI. Previous studies identified fungal DNA in only 50% of samples with positive histopathology results, probably due to DNA damage by tissue fixation. We used realtime PCR to quantify human and fungal DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens in order to study the effect of thermal energy during extraction on the yield of amplifiable DNA and subsequent identification of fungal DNA. Tissue sections from eight patients with proven IFI were subjected to DNA extraction with varying exposure to thermal energy. Amplifiable DNA increased up to 76-fold by increasing the incubation temperature from 65°C to 90°C and an additional increase was documented by incubating samples for up to 6 hours at this temperature. The augmented amplification of fungal DNA was associated with improved species identification by the sequencing of the PCR amplicons. This may help illuminate the etiology of IFI and thereby improve patient management by guiding antifungal therapy.

description: Polyomaviruses are small, non-enveloped viruses with a circular double-stranded DNA genome. Using a generic polyomavirus PCR targeting the VP1 major structural protein gene, a novel polyomavirus was initially identified in resected human liver tissue and provisionally named Human Polyomavirus 12 (HPyV12). Its 5033 bp genome is predicted to encode large and small T antigens and the 3 structural proteins VP1, VP2 and VP3. Phylogenetic analyses did not reveal a close relationship to any known human or animal polyomavirus. Investigation of organs, body fluids and excretions of diseased individuals and healthy subjects with both HPyV12-specific nested PCR and quantitative real-time PCR revealed additional virus-positive samples of resected liver, cecum and rectum tissues and a positive fecal sample. A capsomer-based IgG ELISA was established using the major capsid protein VP1 of HPyV12. Seroprevalences of 23% and 17%, respectively, were determined in sera from healthy adults and adolescents and a pediatric group of children. These data indicate that the virus naturally infects humans and that primary infection may already occur in childhood.
Low-Cost and Scalable Visual Drone Detection System Based on Distributed Convolutional Neural Network

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2018
Subjects: Artificial intelligence not elsewhere classified

description: Recently, with the advancement in drone technology, more and more hobby drones are being manufactured and sold across the world. However, these drones can be repurposedfor the use in illicit activities such as hostile-load delivery. At the moment there are not many systems readily available for detecting and intercepting those hostile drones. Although there is a prototype of a working drone interceptor system built by the researchers of Purdue University, the system was not ready for the general public due to its nature of proof-of-concept and the high price range of the military-grade RADAR used in the prototype. It is essential to substitute such high-cost elements with low-cost ones, to make such drone interception system affordable enough for large-scale deployment.
This study aims to provide an alternative, affordable way to substitute an expensive, high-precision RADAR system with Convolutional Neural Network based drone detection system, which can be built using multiple low-cost single board computers. The experiment will try to find the feasibility of the proposed system and will evaluate the accuracy of the drone detection in a controlled environment.

description: Nayan Kulkarni’s Blade, Lucy and Jorge Orta’s Raft of the Medusa, and Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen’s Quicksand were exhibited in Hull during its year as the 2017 UK City of Culture. These artworks provide the impetus for an article that moves between the local, national, and global, in order to connect visual culture, climate politics, and questions of citizenship and borders in a warming world. In the first section, I discuss how Blade—a wind turbine rotor blade repurposed as a public art installation—provides the opportunity to examine the role of large-scale renewable energy transition in addressing the deep regional economic inequalities in the UK. In the second section, I consider how artworks displayed as part of the ‘Somewhere Becoming Sea’ exhibition linked Hull’s recent history to a global context of displacement and precarity, in the wake of the ongoing ‘refugee crisis’ within Europe and at its borders. In the final section, I seek to bring together a number of threads from the preceding discussion, in order to outline some alternative political horizons. I turn initially to Sean McAllister’s documentary A Northern Soul (2018) and its powerful examination of how personal debt, the toxic fuel of neoliberalism, forecloses the future. In opposition to a future of deepening inequality and climate breakdown, I trace a renewed politics of public ownership and expanded social welfare in the UK, and its place in a prospective global renewable energy transition. This is a hopeful vision, given the current political climate, I argue, but it is also an eminently feasible one.

description: Injection anthrax was described first in 2000 in a heroin-injecting drug user in Norway. New anthrax cases among heroin consumers were detected in the United Kingdom (52 cases) and Germany (3 cases) in 2009-10. In June 2012, a fatal case occurred in Regensburg, Bavaria. As of December 2012, 13 cases had been reported in this new outbreak from Germany, Denmark, France and the United Kingdom. We analysed isolates from 2009-10 and 2012 as well as from the first injection anthrax case in Norway in 2000 by comparative molecular typing using a high resolution 31 marker multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and a broad single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Our results show that all cases may be traced back to the same outbreak strain. They also indicate the probability of a single source contaminating heroin and that the outbreak could have lasted for at least a decade. However, an additional serological pilot study in two German regions conducted in 2011 failed to discover additional anthrax cases among 288 heroin users.

description: This essay takes a long view of Wright's work, arguing that his racial consciousness always extended beyond national boundaries and was forged from a globalist perspective. This outlook is not, as some critics have maintained, a late-stage development in Wright's career, but rather the predominant theme that unites his oeuvre with a single continuous thread. Wright's work—including his fiction, essays, journalism, poetry, letters, and unpublished pieces spanning from the beginning of his career in the mid-1930s to his deathbed writings of 1960—crystallizes his globalist imagination even as it shifts registers: from an anti-fascist political solidarity framed by Marxist internationalism to an affective kinship among formerly colonized peoples expressed through existentialist proto-postcolonialism, and finally a transcendent poetics in search of universal humanism.

Im Rahmen der „Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland (DEGS1)“ (2008–2011) wurden an einer bevölkerungsbezogenen Stichprobe von 7025 18- bis 79-Jährigen Blutproben auf spezifische IgE-Antikörper gegen 50 verbreitete Einzelallergene untersucht sowie 2 Tests mit jeweils einer Mischung aus Inhalationsallergenen (SX1) und Gräserpollen (GX1) durchgeführt. 48,6% der Teilnehmer wiesen mindestens eine Sensibilisierung auf. Mehr Männer als Frauen waren gegen mindestens ein Allergen sensibilisiert. Zudem waren mehr jüngere als ältere Teilnehmer und mehr Personen mit höherem Sozialstatus von mindestens einer Sensibilisierung betroffen. Gegen Inhalationsallergene waren 33,6% der Teilnehmer sensibilisiert, gegen Nahrungsmittelallergene 25,5% und gegen Insektengifte 22,5%. Im Vergleich zum Bundes-Gesundheitssurvey 1998 (BGS98) hat die Prävalenz einer Sensibilisierung gegen Inhalationsallergene von 29,8% auf 33,6% zugenommen. Dieser Trend war nur bei Frauen signifikant. Die Ergebnisse des DEGS1 zeigen eine nach wie vor hohe Prävalenz allergischer Sensibilisierungen.
description: In view of the increasing prevalence of allergies, up-to-date data on the prevalence of allergic sensitisation are of major interest. In the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) (2008–2011), blood samples from a population-based sample of 7,025 participants aged 18 to 79 years were analysed for specific IgE antibodies against 50 common single allergens and screened for common aeroallergens (SX1) and grass pollen (GX1). In all, 48.6% of the participants were sensitised to at least one allergen. Overall, men were more frequently sensitised to at least one allergen than women were. Sensitisations to at least one allergen were more common among younger than older participants and among participants with a higher socio-economic status. In all, 33.6% of the participants were sensitised to common aeroallergens, 25.5% to food allergens and 22.6% to wasp or bee venoms. Compared with the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (GNHIES98), the prevalence of sensitisation to common aeroallergens increased from 29.8 to 33.6%.This increase was statistically significant only in women. The results of DEGS1 still showed a high prevalence of allergic sensitisation. An English full-text version of this article is available at SpringerLink as supplemental.

In this study, a panel of 99 structurally related flavonoids were was tested, concerning their ability to inhibit IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction, using a homogeneous time time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) assay. Results: From the obtained results, it was possible to observe that the flavonoid with hydroxyl group in C3-, C4-, C5- and C7-position on the A-ring, C4′- and C5′-position of the B-ring, a carbonyl group of the C-ring, was more active against IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction, through competitive inhibition. Moreover, the binding modes of representative compounds, including myricetin, luteolin, dihydrorobinetin, naringenin, epicatechin, genistein and helichrysetin, were analyzedanalysed by molecular docking. Biolayer interferometry assay confirmed that these representative compounds disrupted the PPI by binding to IN with KD values ranging from 1.0 to 3.6 µM. Conclusion: This study presents the first to quantitative comparation of the effect of flavonoids with different structural subclasses on IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction. Our findings provide new insights into the development of inhibitors targeting IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction using flavonoids.
Key MessagesHIV-1 integrase (IN)-LEDGF/p75 interaction is an attractive target for antiviral drug development.For the first time, the structure-activity relationship of flavonoids belonging to seven flavonoidic subclasses on IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction was determined.This study comprehends an HTRF-based screening system, biolayer interferometry and an in silico molecular docking analysis.

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag liefert auf Basis der Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland (DEGS1) und des Bundes-Gesundheitssurveys (BGS98) aus den Jahren 2008–2011 und 1997/98 repräsentative Eckdaten und Trends zur Inanspruchnahme ärztlicher und therapeutischer Leistungen der 18- bis 79-jährigen Wohnbevölkerung in Deutschland. Die DEGS1-Daten zeigen, dass Frauen viele der einbezogenen medizinischen Leistungen häufiger in Anspruch nahmen als Männer. Mit dem Alter werden die Unterschiede nach Geschlecht geringer. Bei fast allen Leistungen ist mit zunehmendem Alter ein Anstieg der Inanspruchnahme zu verzeichnen. Große Unterschiede in der Inanspruchnahme bestehen in Abhängigkeit von der selbst eingeschätzten Gesundheit, geringere Unterschiede nach Sozialstatus, Krankenversicherung und Region. Zu beiden Erhebungszeitpunkten ist der Anteil der Bevölkerung, der mindestens 1-mal im Jahr ärztliche Hilfe (ambulant oder stationär) in Anspruch nahm, nahezu unverändert hoch. Gleichzeitig sind in diesem Zeitraum ein signifikanter Rückgang der Kontakte zu Arztpraxen pro Jahr und der Krankenhausverweildauer sowie eine Zunahme der konsultierten Facharztgruppen zu verzeichnen. Dies verweist auf Steuerungswirkungen früherer Reformen.
description: The article provides representative benchmarks and trends for the use of medical and therapeutic services in Germany on the basis of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) and the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (GNHIES98) from the years 2008–2011 and 1997/98, respectively. DEGS1 shows that women seek most medical services more often than men. Differences by gender decreased with age. In almost all services, an increase in utilisation is recorded with age. There are large differences in utilisation depending on self-rated health, as opposed to fewer differences by social status, health insurance and region. At both time points, the proportion of the population that utilised outpatient or inpatient medical assistance at least once a year, is almost unchanged high. At the same time, a significant reduction in the annual number of contacts with medical practices and the length of hospital stay was recorded as well as an increase of the consulted specialist groups. This may be explained due to regulation effects of earlier reforms. An English full-text version of this article is available at SpringerLink as supplemental.

description: Die Studie zur Gesundheit Erwachsener in Deutschland (DEGS1) wurde von 2008 bis 2011 durchgeführt und umfasste Befragungen, Untersuchungen und Tests. Zielpopulation war die in Deutschland lebende Bevölkerung im Alter von 18 bis 79 Jahren. Insgesamt nahmen 8152 Personen teil. Chronischer Stress wurde erfasst, um seine Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit und das psychische Wohlbefinden zu untersuchen. Zur Messung der Stressbelastung wurde die Screening-Skala des Trierer Inventars zum chronischen Stress der Altersgruppe bis einschließlich 64 Jahre zur Beantwortung vorgelegt (N=5850). Frauen geben mit 13,9% signifikant häufiger eine starke Stressbelastung an als Männer (8,2%). Die Prävalenz starker Stressbelastung nimmt mit steigendem sozioökonomischem Status ab; sie fällt von 17,3% bei niedrigem auf 7,6% bei hohem sozioökonomischem Status. Eine starke Belastung mit chronischem Stress ist besonders häufig (26,2%), wenn eine geringe soziale Unterstützung vorliegt. Menschen mit einer starken Belastung durch chronischen Stress zeigen deutlich häufiger eine depressive Symptomatik, ein Burnout-Syndrom oder Schlafstörungen als Menschen ohne starke Belastung durch chronischen Stress. Die Bedeutung von chronischem Stress als Gesundheitsrisiko wird durch die Daten bestätigt. Das Thema hat somit eine hohe Public-Health-Relevanz.
description: The German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) was conducted from 2008–2011 and comprised interviews, examinations and tests. The target population was the resident population of Germany aged 18–79 years. A total of 8,152 persons participated. Chronic stress was assessed to examine its effects on health and mental wellbeing. The Screening Scale of the Trier Inventory for the Assessment of Chronic Stress was used to assess stress burden among participants up to the age of 64 years (N=5,850). High levels of stress are significantly more often reported by women (13.9%) than by men (8.2%). The prevalence of high stress levels decreases with a higher socioeconomic status (SES); it falls from 17.3% with low SES to 7.6% with high SES. High chronic stress levels are particularly common (26.2%) in persons who report low levels of social support. Depressive symptoms, burnout syndrome and sleep disturbances are more common in people who have high levels of chronic stress than in those without high levels of stress. The results confirm the importance of chronic stress as a health risk and underline the public health relevance of chronic stress.

description: My essay interrogates the striking silences in Scott's oeuvre in relation to Scotland's involvement as a partner of the British Empire in the colonization of the Caribbean and in the exploitation of slavery in this region. By drawing from narratological theories (especially those articulated by Robyn R. Warhol and Ruth Rosaler), I treat Scott's silences as examples of ‘implicature’ — a ‘conspicuous silence’, which acquires and generates meaning through the interaction of text and context, and represents a form of communication in its own right. Through a discussion of samples from his Letters, Tales of a Grandfather, Rokeby, Rob Roy, The Antiquary and Heart of Midlothian I try to identify the invisible maps of meaning of the unsaid and ‘unnarrated’. While suggesting that this approach allows us to articulate a more nuanced perspective on Scott and Scottish-Caribbean relations, I also claim that it allows us to critically rethink the problems and possibilities of engaging with Caribbean slavery in British and other European nineteenth-century fiction.

description: Esophageal variceal bleeding is a common reason for hospitalization in patients with cirrhosis. The main objective of this study was to analyze the effects of gender differences on outcomes in hospitalizations related to Esophageal variceal bleeding in the United States. A retrospective observational cohort study was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for all hospitalizations with a discharge diagnosis of esophageal varices with hemorrhage from 2016 to 2019. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, while secondary outcomes included rate of early endoscopy (defined as less than 1 day), AKI, blood transfusion, sepsis, ICU admission and TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt). We also compared the length of stay and total hospitalization charges. We identified a total of 166,760 patients with variceal bleeding of which 32.7% were females. In-hospital mortality was higher in males, 9.91%, compared to females, 8.31% (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.88, p-value=.008, when adjusted for confounding factors). The odds of undergoing an EGD, length of stay, or total hospitalization charges did not differ between the two groups. Compared to men, women had lower odds of receiving TIPS (aOR = 0.83, p-value=.002). Women hospitalised with esophageal variceal bleeding are at a lower risk of death compared to males. Further research is needed to elucidate the factors associated with this lower risk.

Zielpopulation war die in Deutschland lebende Bevölkerung im Alter von 18 bis 79 Jahren (N=8152). Daten zum Alkoholkonsum, Risikokonsum und Rauschtrinken wurden im Selbstausfüllfragebogen mit dem Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test – Consumption (AUDIT-C) erhoben. Am häufigsten ist der Risikokonsum bei jüngeren Menschen im Alter von 19 bis 29 Jahren (Männer 54,9%; Frauen 36%). Im Alter ab 65 Jahren nimmt die Häufigkeit ab. Bei Männern ist der Risikokonsum mit 41,6% häufiger als bei Frauen (25,6%). Das Rauschtrinken ist bei Männern dreimal so häufig wie bei Frauen. Verletzungen sind bei Personen mit Risikokonsum und Rauschtrinken häufiger. Sie werden bei Arztpraxis- oder Ambulanzbesuchen häufiger zum Alkoholkonsum beraten als Personen ohne diese Trinkmuster.

The target population was the resident population of Germany aged from 18–79 years (n=8,152). Data on alcohol consumption, at-risk drinking and heavy episodic drinking was collected in a self-administered questionnaire with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test–Consumption (AUDIT-C). At-risk drinking is most common among young individuals aged from 19–29 years (men 54.9%; women 36%), becoming less common from an age of 65 years. With 41.6%, at-risk drinking is more prevalent in men than in women (25.6%). Men are three times more likely to be heavy episodic drinkers than women. Injuries are more common among individuals with at-risk or heavy episodic drinking. They receive advice on alcohol consumption during visits to general practitioners/specialists or outpatient departments more often than individuals without these drinking patterns.
