description: Context The elevation of serum amylase and lipase are generally associated with pancreatic diseases. However they can be associated with different pathologies unrelated with amylase and lipase. Case report This paper aims to report a case of a patient diagnosed with nonspecific hyperamylasemia and warn of this possibility in the differentiation of hyperamylasemia. Conclusion The correct diagnosis of silent hyperamylasemia is important in order to determine whether there is the risk of pancreatic disease or if we are just ahead of a benign hyperenzymemia.

description: The low-temperature thermal conductivity in polycrystalline graphene is theoretically studied. The contributions from three branches of acoustic phonons are calculated by taking into account scattering on sample borders, point defects and grain boundaries. Phonon scattering due to sample borders and grain boundaries is shown to result in a $T^α$-behaviour in the thermal conductivity where $α$ varies between 1 and 2. This behaviour is found to be more pronounced for nanosized grain boundaries. PACS: 65.80.Ck, 81.05.ue, 73.43.Cd

description: Context The results of endoscopic drainage in pancreas divisum with chronic pancreatitis have been debatable. Objective To evaluate clinical presentation and long term results of endoscopic therapy in patients of calcific and non-calcific chronic pancreatitis with pancreas divisum. Patients and Methods Between 1996 and 2011, 48 patients (32 males and 16 females) with chronic pancreatitis and pancreas divisum were treated endoscopically. Patients were considered to have clinical success if they had resolution of symptoms and did not require surgery. Results All patients presented with abdominal pain and symptoms were present for 36.6±40.5 months. Pseudocyst, diabetes, pancreatic ascites, pancreatic pleural effusion, segmental portal hypertension and steatorrhea were seen in 13 (27.1%), 6 (12.5%), 3 (6.3%), 2 (4.2%), 2 (4.2%) and 1 (2.1%) patients, respectively. Ductal calculi and strictures were noted in 3 (6.3%) and 2 (4.2%) patients, respectively. In 47 patients, an endoprosthesis (5 or 7 Fr) was successfully placed in the dorsal duct. Following pancreatic endotherapy, 45/47 (95.7%) patients had successful outcome. The mean number of stenting sessions required to have clinical success was 2.6±0.9. One patient each had mild post ERCP pancreatitis, inward migration of stent and precipitation of diabetic ketoacidosis. Over a follow up of 2-174 months (median: 67 months), 12 out of 31 patients with pain only and no local complications (38.7%) required restenting for recurrence of pain and none of these patients required surgery. Conclusion Intensive pancreatic endotherapy is safe and effective both in patients with chronic calcific, as well as non-calcific, pancreatitis associated with pancreas divisum. It gives good long term response in patients having abdominal pain and/or dorsal ductal disruptions.

description: This paper describes computationally efficient approaches and associated theoretical performance guarantees for the detection of known targets and anomalies from few projection measurements of the underlying signals. The proposed approaches accommodate signals of different strengths contaminated by a colored Gaussian background, and perform detection without reconstructing the underlying signals from the observations. The theoretical performance bounds of the target detector highlight fundamental tradeoffs among the number of measurements collected, amount of background signal present, signal-to-noise ratio, and similarity among potential targets coming from a known dictionary. The anomaly detector is designed to control the number of false discoveries. The proposed approach does not depend on a known sparse representation of targets; rather, the theoretical performance bounds exploit the structure of a known dictionary of targets and the distance preservation property of the measurement matrix. Simulation experiments illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

description: Context Factors affecting length of hospital stay after uncomplicated pancreaticoduodenectomy have not been reported. We hypothesized that patients undergoing uncomplicated pancreaticoduodenectomy treated by fast track recovery program would have a shorter length of hospital stay compared to those managed by a standard program. Methods Patients without surgical or medical complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy managed by fast track or standard protocols, between 2005 and 2011, were identified and prognostic predictors for length of hospital stay determined. Results Forty-one patients treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy had no medical or surgical complications during this period. Of these patients, 20 underwent fast track recovery program compared to 21 who underwent standard care. Patients in the standard group were more likely to have a feeding jejunostomy tube (P<0.001), pylorus preserving procedure (P=0.001) and a nasogastric tube in place longer than 24 hours postoperatively (P<0.001). The median postoperative length of stay was shorter in the fast track recovery program group (8 days, range: 7-16 days) versus 14 days, range: 8-29 days; P<0.001). There were three readmissions in the fast track recovery program related to abdominal pain and none in the standard group. The overall length of stay, accounting for readmissions, still remained significantly shorter in the fast track recovery program group (median 9 days, range: 7-17 days versus median14 days, range: 8-29 days ; P<0.001). There were no significant differences in discharge destination between groups. On multivariate analysis, the only factor independently associated with postoperative discharge by day 8 was fast track recovery program (OR: 37.1, 95% CI: 4.08-338; P<0.001). Conclusion Fast track recovery program achieved significantly shorter length of stay following uncomplicated pancreaticoduodenectomy.

description: Rationale: The quantification of circulating proteins and metabolites can enable deep phenotyping of diseases, including sepsis. However, population-based studies have been largely confined to plasma, which suffers from pre-analytical variability and ignores the importance of cellular changes relevant to disease pathobiology. We have been exploring the applicability of dried blood, collected using volumetric absorptive microsampling, for multomic analysis. We have previously found that protein abundance changes in dried blood from COVID-19 ICU patients versus normal controls largely replicates many of those observed in matched cell-free plasma. We are extending this approach to the analysis of protein post-translational modifications and metabolites, using analytical figures of merit, as well as differential abundance measurements based on inter-individual variability and in vitro exposures, for method development and validation.
Methods: Lithium-heparin blood was collected from n=4 normal human donors. Blood was treated with sham or 1 microgram/mL E. coli lipopolysaccharide and incubated at 37 degC for up to 48 hours. Blood was exposed to a phosphatase inhibitor cocktail at the 6 h timepoint. Twenty microliters of blood was collected on a Neoteryx Mitra tips and dried before storing at -80 degC. For proteomic analysis, Mitra tips were denatured in 5% deoxycholate, reduced and alkylated and digested with trypsin for 2 h. Approximately 1 mg of digests were enriched for glycopeptide and phosphopeptides using Ti-IMAC or TiO. Metabolites were extracted using MeOH/ammonium acetate. Proteome and PTM analyses utilized microflow and nanoflow liquid chromatography, respectively, coupled to high-resolution accurate mass (HR/AM) mass spectrometry. Metabolite analysis utilize ZipChip capillary electrophoresis coupled to HR/AM MS.
Results: We developed facile methods for processing of Mitra tips for proteome, PTM and metabolites that can be accomplished in one day in a 96-well format. Approximately 1000 proteins, 400 N-linked glycopeptides, 1000 phosphopeptides and 200 metabolites were identified and quantified in dried blood from two Mitra tips per subject timepoint in <2.5 h of total analysis time. As expected, hierarchical clustering of the blood proteome revealed high inter-subject variability. LPS treatment had modest effects on protein/PTM abundance, whereas 138/940 quantified phosphopeptides were significantly increased with phosphatase inhibitor, establishing a subset of the blood phosphoproteome that is highly dynamic and may be useful for studying PTM stability during long-term storage.
Conclusions: Mass spectrometry-based analysis of dried blood can be accomplished in a relatively short amount of time and cover a potentially large biological space, setting up the analysis of large biobanks for deep phenotyping.

description: A qualitative study of the lightest glueball states in Euclidean SU(2) Yang-Mills theory quantized in the maximal Abelian gauge is presented. The analysis is done by generalizing to the maximal Abelian gauge the so-called replica model, already successfully introduced in the Landau gauge. As it will be shown, the gluon and ghost propagators obtained from the replica model are of the same type of those already introduced in Phys. Rev. D77, 105023 (2008) [arXiv:0801.0566], whose behavior turns out to be in agreement with that available from the lattice data on the maximal Abelian gauge. The model turns out to be renormalizable to all orders, while enabling us to introduce gauge invariant composite operators for the study of the lightest glueballs $J^{PC}=0^{++}$, $2^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$. The spectral representation for the correlation functions of these operators are evaluated to the first order, and the corresponding spectral densities are shown to be positive. Under the assumption of Abelian dominance, it turns out that the hierarchy for the masses of the lightest glueballs in the maximal Abelian gauge is in agreement with that already obtained in the Landau gauge, a feature which provides evidence for the gauge independence of the spectrum of the theory.

Neuroendorine tumors accounts for only 0.2-2%. Case report We report a case of mixed adenoneuroendo-carcinoma of the common bile duct in an 82-year-old male. Conclusion Clinical experience suggests that the neuroendocrine component of mixed tumors behave more aggressively than the regular biliary adenocarcinoma component. This clinical behavior may have an important role in the management of this clinical entity.

description: Context Pre- and post-Frey procedure data assessing quality of life in South African patients with painful chronic pancreatitis were compared using two instruments of measure. Objective The objective was to evaluate the post-Frey procedure quality of life and to evaluate which of the two instruments was most appropriate in such patients. Methods A prospective, observational, longitudinal study using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and a locally developed structured interview was performed. Results Between January 2002, when the QLQ-C30 was introduced, and February 2009, 45 consecutive patients underwent a Frey procedure at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa. Thirteen of these patients were lost to follow up. Thirty two participants answered both instruments before and after the procedure. Follow up data were analyzed until June 2009. The mean follow up was 24.8 months ranging from 1 to 83 months. There were clinically relevant improvements in most QLQ-C30 domains and structured interview items at the last post-operative visit. The mean pain levels (VAS 0-10 and QLQ-C30 PA) were significantly reduced post-operatively. Twenty five participants answered both instruments within six months and again later at a minimum of six months after surgery with no significant differences in the overall QLQ-C30 functional (P=0.967) and symptom (P=0.253) scale scores between the two time periods. In general, outcomes measured by the two instruments were similar. Conclusions Although the follow up period was short, results suggest that benefits were mostly made manifest within six months post-operatively and were sustained during the follow up period. The structured interview included a counseling component and locally pertinent issues not addressed in the QLQ-C30 and it is therefore recommended as the instrument of choice in this setting.

A schenkerian approach to text-music relations in selected lieder by Robert Schumann
Creators: name: Martin, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This is an analytical and interpretive study of selected songs by Robert Schumann. In it, I showcase some of the possible ways that concepts in Schenkerian analysis can reveal interesting, hidden, or new text-music relations. These relations, in turn, allow for new and imaginative interpretative possibilities. I demonstrate how specific Schenkerian analytical findings resonate with structures, imagery, and meaning in the poetic text of seven songs. Three songs are presented as individual case studies and each exemplify how a musical structure can take on the status of musical metaphor for a feature in the text. In “Sängers Trost” (Op. 127, no. 1), I show how tension and release in the poetry correspond to rising and falling linear progressions and that a motive introduced in the accompaniment is transformed at the vocal highpoint. In “Frühlingslust” (Op. 125, no. 2), I show how the binary opposition between freedom and imprisonment—respectively represented by a butterfly and love in the text—is dramatized in the song’s tonic-dominant polarity, and how voice-leading techniques (superposition, cover tone, and register transfer) characterize the butterfly’s carefree flight. In “Die Meerfee” (Op. 15, no. 3), I investigate how an exotic chromatic voice-exchange, within what is revealed to be a dramatic elaboration of a middleground neighbour note figure, captures the wonder and confusion experienced by a young boy who witnesses a sea fairy. In a chapter on the Vier Husarenlieder Op. 117, I discuss how the four songs in the collection cohere poetically and musically. A reaching-down gesture (Untergreifung) in “Der Husar!” provides access to a solemn facet of the Hussar’s personality and contrasts with his cultivated bravura. In “Der leidige Frieden,” an octave transfer of 2 ̂/V embodies the role-reversal between the Hussar and his saber. I discuss how the Hussar’s conflation of civilian and military life relates to the song’s formal organization in “Den grünen Zeigern.” Lastly, I show how the transference of the Urlinie from the voice to the accompaniment resonates with the image in the text of the Hussar galloping away on horseback.

description: We present a comprehensive theoretical study of finite size effects in the relaxation dynamics of glass-forming liquids. Our analysis is motivated by recent theoretical progress regarding the understanding of relevant correlation length scales in liquids approaching the glass transition. We obtain predictions both from general theoretical arguments and from a variety of specific perspectives: mode-coupling theory, kinetically constrained and defect models, and random first order transition theory. In the latter approach, we predict in particular a non-monotonic evolution of finite size effects across the mode-coupling crossover due to the competition between mode-coupling and activated relaxation. We study the role of competing relaxation mechanisms in giving rise to non-monotonic finite size effects by devising a kinetically constrained model where the proximity to the mode-coupling singularity can be continuously tuned by changing the lattice topology. We use our theoretical findings to interpret the results of extensive molecular dynamics studies of four model liquids with distinct structures and kinetic fragilities. While the less fragile model only displays modest finite size effects, we find a more significant size dependence evolving with temperature for more fragile models, such as Lennard-Jones particles and soft spheres. Finally, for a binary mixture of harmonic spheres we observe the predicted non-monotonic temperature evolution of finite size effects near the fitted mode-coupling singularity, suggesting that the crossover from mode-coupling to activated dynamics is more pronounced for this model. Finally, we discuss the close connection between our results and the recent report of a non-monotonic temperature evolution of a dynamic length scale near the mode-coupling crossover in harmonic spheres.

description: Background: It is aspired in the German healthcare system that general practitioners (GPs) act as initial contact for patients and guide through at all steps of medical treatment. This study aims at identifying factors associated with the odds of having no GP within the general population and especially among people with migration background. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was based on the “German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults” (DEGS1) conducted by the Robert Koch Institute. Descriptive analyses as well as multiple logistic regression models were performed to analyse the impact of a migration background, age, gender, residential area, socioeconomic status (SES) and other factors on having no GP among 7755 participants. Results: 9.5% of the total study population and 14.8% of people with a migration background had no GP, especially men, adults living in big cities and without chronic diseases. The odds of not having a GP were higher for people with a two-sided migration background (aOR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.42–2.55). Among the population with a migration background, particularly young adults, men, people living in big cities and having a private health insurance showed higher odds to have no GP. Conclusions: It is necessary to investigate the causes of the differing utilization of healthcare of people with a migration background and, if necessary, to take measures for an equal access to healthcare for all population groups. Further research needs to be done to evaluate how to get young people into contact with a GP.

description: We study a massive gravity theory which is Lorentz violating all the way from ultraviolet to infrared energy scales. At short distances the theory breaks diffeomorphism invariance and time and space scale differently. Dynamical metric fields are introduced which upon linearization over a Minkowski background correspond to Lorentz violating mass terms at large distances. We perform a scalar perturbation analysis and we show that with an appropriate choice of parameters the theory is healthy without ghosts, tachyons, strong coupling problems and instabilities
description: 16 pages, 4 figures, change of title, discussion on the effect of Lorentz violating mass terms is added. To appear in PRD. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0911.1299

description: Die Kommission für Krankenhaushygiene und Infektionsprävention (KRINKO) erreichen derzeit wieder vermehrt Anfragen zum sachgerechten Transport von Personen, die mit MRSA besiedelt bzw. infiziert sind. Die konkrete Problematik besteht dabei in dem vermeintlichen Widerspruch zwischen dem von der KRINKO empfohlenen Vorgehen innerhalb und außerhalb von medizinischen Einrichtungen, bzw. im Rettungsdienst (qualifizierter Krankentransport) und bei Krankenfahrten ("nichtqualifizierter" Krankentransport). Im Epidemiologischen Bulletin 8/2019 wird daher der Hintergrund für diese Empfehlung dargelegt.

description: Tensors have found application in a variety of fields, ranging from chemometrics to signal processing and beyond. In this paper, we consider the problem of multilinear modeling of sparse count data. Our goal is to develop a descriptive tensor factorization model of such data, along with appropriate algorithms and theory. To do so, we propose that the random variation is best described via a Poisson distribution, which better describes the zeros observed in the data as compared to the typical assumption of a Gaussian distribution. Under a Poisson assumption, we fit a model to observed data using the negative log-likelihood score. We present a new algorithm for Poisson tensor factorization called CANDECOMP-PARAFAC Alternating Poisson Regression (CP-APR) that is based on a majorization-minimization approach. It can be shown that CP-APR is a generalization of the Lee-Seung multiplicative updates. We show how to prevent the algorithm from converging to non-KKT points and prove convergence of CP-APR under mild conditions. We also explain how to implement CP-APR for large-scale sparse tensors and present results on several data sets, both real and simulated.

description: Complex networks are formal frameworks capturing the interdependencies between the elements of large systems and databases. This formalism allows to use network navigation methods to rank the importance that each constituent has on the global organization of the system. A key example is Pagerank navigation which is at the core of the most used search engine of the World Wide Web. Inspired in this classical algorithm, we define a quantum navigation method providing a unique ranking of the elements of a network. We analyze the convergence of quantum navigation to the stationary rank of networks and show that quantumness decreases the number of navigation steps before convergence. In addition, we show that quantum navigation allows to solve degeneracies found in classical ranks. By implementing the quantum algorithm in real networks, we confirm these improvements and show that quantum coherence unveils new hierarchical features about the global organization of complex systems.

L’alienazione della donna tra esibizione e occultamento del corpo: dall’oscenità alla costruzione tecnica

description: L’articolo discute della contrapposizione tra la modalità italiana di considerare il corpo della donna, quale mero oggetto di desiderio sessuale, attraverso la sua esibizione e ildenudamento mediatici versus quella musulmana che, invece, lo nasconde sotto khimar,jilbab o burqa. L'analisi fa perno sui diritti umani fondamentali che nel loro percorsostorico, promuovono il primato dell’individuo e della sua autodeterminazione, per arri-vare a considerare i concetti di alienazione e di oscenità e verificare come le due posi-zioni siano in continuità. Si discute, quindi, delle possibili cause che, anche nell’attualesocietà occidentale, potrebbero ripristinare forme di tradizionalismo, a partire dalla stessa volontà delle donne.

description: We show that the herding procedure of Welling (2009) takes exactly the form of a standard convex optimization algorithm--namely a conditional gradient algorithm minimizing a quadratic moment discrepancy. This link enables us to invoke convergence results from convex optimization and to consider faster alternatives for the task of approximating integrals in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. We study the behavior of the different variants through numerical simulations. The experiments indicate that while we can improve over herding on the task of approximating integrals, the original herding algorithm tends to approach more often the maximum entropy distribution, shedding more light on the learning bias behind herding.

description: In general relativity one of the most fundamental issues consists in defining a generally acceptable definition for the energy-momentum density. As a consequence, many coordinate-dependent definitions have been presented, whereby some of them utilize appropriate energy-momentum complexes. We investigate the energy-momentum distribution for a metric exterior to a spherically symmetric black hole in the brane world by applying the Landau-Lifshitz and Weinberg prescriptions. In both the aforesaid prescriptions, the energy thus obtained depends on the radial coordinate, the mass of the black hole and a parameter $λ_{0}$, while all the momenta are found to be zero. It is shown that for a special value of the parameter $λ_{0}$, the Schwarzschild space-time geometry is recovered. Some particular and limiting cases are also discussed.

Integrating environmental tracers and groundwater flow modeling to investigate groundwater sustainability, Gibsons, BC
Creators: name: Doyle, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Environmental tracers can provide information on groundwater age, recharge conditions and flow processes. This information is useful for evaluating groundwater sustainability and vulnerability by identifying groundwater provenance and information for water budgets. Gibsons, British Columbia is a growing coastal community relying on groundwater to supply drinking water to two thirds of its 4,300 residents. The Town of Gibsons is proud of its untreated groundwater resource and proactive about keeping it protected and sustainable for future generations. Samples of noble gases, tritium, and stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen were collected from the aquifer. Tracer results improved the site conceptual model by identifying a previously unknown contribution of mountain block recharge (MBR) and by providing recharge elevation estimates using noble gas thermometry. The updated conceptual model including the mountain block was integrated into a regional three-dimensional numerical groundwater flow model calibrated to both hydraulic heads and to recharge elevation, a non-traditional approach to model calibration. This is the first study to use recharge elevation as a calibration target, which proved to be imperative for constraining bedrock geometry and minimizing model non-uniqueness. Tracer and modeling results indicate that groundwater in the Gibsons aquifer contains a mixture of approximately 45% MBR and 55% bench recharge. The MBR component is pre-modern (> 50 years) groundwater that recharged at elevation and cold temperatures (~5°C) and has evolved hydrogeochemistry and high concentrations of excess air (EA; >0.005 ccSTP/g) and ⁴Heterr (>10-⁹ ccSTP/g). Bench recharge is modern (< 10 years) groundwater recharged at low elevations and warm temperatures (~9°C), and has non-evolved hydrogeochemistry and low concentrations of EA (0.001-0.003 ccSTP/g) and ⁴Heterr (<10-⁹ ccSTP/g). Effects of increased pumping due to population growth and decreased recharge rates caused by climate change were assessed by conducting a sensitivity analysis of groundwater flow. Based on the study results, it is recommended to carry out long-term groundwater monitoring; sustainable groundwater use and community involvement are required to ensure groundwater sustainability.
