description: Objectives: Voriconazole, amphotericin B (AmB) formulations, and isavuconazole are all included in guideline recommendations for treatment of patients with invasive aspergillosis (IA) but the relative efficacy of isavuconazole versus AmB formulations has not been directly compared. We aimed to estimate the relative efficacy of isavuconazole compared with AmB deoxycholate (AmB-D), liposomal AmB (L-AmB), and voriconazole for the treatment of patients with proven/probable IA. Methods: Nine literature databases were screened for randomized controlled trials comparing treatments with any of voriconazole, AmB-D, L-AmB and isavuconazole for treatment of proven/probable IA. Articles meeting the criteria were included in a meta-analysis to determine the efficacy of AmB-D, L-AmB and voriconazole relative to isavuconazole based on all-cause mortality (ACM) and overall response using a fixed-effects model. Results: Four articles were identified that compared L-AmB with AmB-D (Study 1), standard-dose L-AmB (3–5 mg/kg/day) with high-dose L-AmB (10 mg/kg/day; Study 2), voriconazole with AmB-D (Study 3), and isavuconazole with voriconazole (Study 4). In the network meta-analysis, isavuconazole was statistically superior to AmB-D on both ACM (odds ratio [95% credible intervals] shown as natural log, 1.00 [0.26, 1.74]) and overall response (−1.39 [−2.21, −0.63]). Differences between isavuconazole, and standard-dose L-AmB, high-dose L-AmB and voriconazole were not statistically significant for either ACM (0.18 [−1.17, 1.53], 0.50 [−1.11, 2.13] and 0.32 [−0.19, 0.84], respectively) or overall response (−0.99 [−2.21, 0.29], −0.89 [−2.41, 0.65] and 0.06 [−0.43, 0.57], respectively). Conclusions: This data suggests that the efficacy of isavuconazole for treatment of IA is superior to AmB-D and comparable with both L-AmB and voriconazole.

description: Innovation plays an important role in the construction industry and associated product and service supplies. Novel ideas in terms of design concepts, technologies and materials techniques for design, construction, and supply chain are being developed constantly in order to be more efficient in terms of resource usage to save time and money. An assessment of innovation is performed for the three proposals submitted for the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building (IHSC) in Kelowna, BC. This project is being developed under a private public partnership contract between the Government of British Columbia and Plenary Group. Specifically, this thesis is focused on the product perspective, which relates to design aspects– the form and layout of the facility. The following definition of innovation was used in this study; “The use of advanced technologies, methodologies, and clever ideas that result in a positive incremental change compared to the indicative design”. In order to assess innovation, this definition was applied to four specific items of each proposal: enhancement of patient safety, optimization of clinical utilization, an enhanced wellness environment, and enhancement of site development features.

description: Measuring the relative mass contributions of luminous and dark matter in spiral galaxies is important for understanding their formation and evolution. The combination of a galaxy rotation curve and strong lensing is a powerful way to break the disk-halo degeneracy that is inherent in each of the methods individually. We present an analysis of the 10-image radio spiral lens B1933+503 at z_l=0.755, incorporating (1) new global VLBI observations, (2) new adaptive-optics assisted K-band imaging, (3) new spectroscopic observations for the lens galaxy rotation curve and the source redshift. We construct a three-dimensionally axisymmetric mass distribution with 3 components: an exponential profile for the disk, a point mass for the bulge, and an NFW profile for the halo. The mass model is simultaneously fitted to the kinematics and the lensing data. The NFW halo needs to be oblate with a flattening of a/c=0.33^{+0.07}_{-0.05} to be consistent with the radio data. This suggests that baryons are effective at making the halos oblate near the center. The lensing and kinematics analysis probe the inner ~10 kpc of the galaxy, and we obtain a lower limit on the halo scale radius of 16 kpc (95% CI). The dark matter mass fraction inside a sphere with a radius of 2.2 disk scale lengths is f_{DM,2.2}=0.43^{+0.10}_{-0.09}. The contribution of the disk to the total circular velocity at 2.2 disk scale lengths is 0.76^{+0.05}_{-0.06}, suggesting that the disk is marginally submaximal. The stellar mass of the disk from our modeling is log_{10}(M_{*}/M_{sun}) = 11.06^{+0.09}_{-0.11} assuming that the cold gas contributes ~20% to the total disk mass. In comparison to the stellar masses estimated from stellar population synthesis models, the stellar initial mass function of Chabrier is preferred to that of Salpeter by a probability factor of 7.2.

description: Objective: To present a systematic review of studies conducted to evaluate patient impact and economic burden of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. Methods: A MEDLINE (via PubMed), Excerpta Medica database (Embase), and Cochrane Library search for English-language articles published January 1, 1996–December 31, 2016 was performed. Abstracts were manually reviewed from 2015–2016 from 10 leading conferences and congresses associated with atopic dermatitis. Manuscripts were reviewed for inclusion in two main categories within the review: patient impact of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis and economic burden of atopic dermatitis. Excluded from this dataset were any patients in these studies who had severe atopic dermatitis, moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, or atopic dermatitis of unspecified severity. Results: In total, 222 studies qualified for inclusion in the analysis; this report focuses on the 76 studies that reported results stratified by disease severity. Measured by general and specific instruments, even mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis reduces the overall quality-of-life of patients and their caregivers/families. Disease severity assessed by validated severity instruments directly correlated with quality-of-life. Treatment of atopic dermatitis can improve the quality-of-life of patients and their caregivers/families by alleviation of symptoms and reduction in severity. In general, total costs increased as disease severity increased; even mild atopic dermatitis imposed substantial costs. Conclusions: The results emphasize the impact of atopic dermatitis, especially mild atopic dermatitis, on patient lives and finances, including education of clinicians, payers, and patients regarding benefits associated with treatment adherence.

description: Objective: To analyze the effect of brexpiprazole on metabolic parameters and body weight in adults with schizophrenia, including clinically relevant sub-groups of patients, based on data from two pivotal phase 3 studies (NCT01393613; NCT01396421) and a long-term extension study (NCT01397786). Methods: The short-term studies were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose (2 and 4 mg/day), 6-week phase 3 studies. The long-term study was an open-label 52-week study, recruiting de novo patients and those completing either short-term study. Maximum exposure to brexpiprazole was 58 weeks. Fasting metabolic parameters and weight were measured throughout the studies. Metabolic values were characterized as normal, borderline, or high (cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose) and low or normal (HDL), using commonly reported thresholds. The incidences of all possible shifts in metabolic parameters were measured from baseline to any time post-baseline during the first 6 weeks, first 6 months, and last 6 months of treatment. Results: In short-term studies, the proportion of brexpiprazole-treated patients with unfavorable shifts in metabolic parameters was low and like that of placebo-treated patients; the incidence of these shifts was not dose-dependent. During both short- and long-term treatment, the incidence of unfavorable shifts with brexpiprazole was lower than that of favorable shifts. During short-term studies, the mean increase in body weight was 1.2 kg with brexpiprazole treatment and 0.2 kg with placebo. The mean increase in body weight during long-term treatment was 3.2 kg at week 58. Conclusions: Brexpiprazole treatment was associated with moderate weight gain and small changes in metabolic parameters during both short- and long-term treatment.

description: We investigate the occurrence of Majorana modes in semiconductor quantum wires in close proximity with a superconductor and when both, Rashba interaction and magnetic field, are present. We consider long, but finite, multiband wires (namely, planar wires with dimensions $L_x\gg L_y$). Our results demonstrate that interband mixing coming from Rashba spin orbit term hybridizes Majorana pairs originating from different transverse modes while simultaneously closing the effective gap. Consequently, multiple Majorana modes do not coexist in general. On the contrary, Majorana physics is robust provided that only one single transverse mode contributes with a Majorana pair. Finally, we analyse the robustness of Majorana physics with respect to magnetic orbital effects.

description: Objective: To compare efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) vs oxycodone controlled release (CR) in younger patients (<65 years of age) and in elderly patients (≥65 and ≥75 years of age) in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain. Methods: Data from two double-blind, randomized, placebo-, and oxycodone CR-controlled phase 3 trials were pooled and stratified by age. Primary efficacy end-points were change from baseline in average pain intensity at week 12 (US end-point) and over the entire maintenance period (non-US end-point). Results: A total of 1357 patients <65 years, 653 patients ≥65 years, and 176 patients ≥75 years of age were assessed. The comparison between tapentadol PR and oxycodone CR showed numerically better pain relief under tapentadol PR for both primary end-points in all three age groups. More favorable improvements were also observed for patient global impression of change, the Short Form-36 physical component score, and EuroQoL-5Dimensions health status index. In the elderly, incidences of dizziness and somnolence were comparable between active treatments, but incidences of nausea, vomiting, and constipation were considerably lower under tapentadol PR. Treatment completion rates were lowest under oxycodone CR; > 50% of elderly oxycodone CR patients named side-effects as the main reason for discontinuation. Conclusions: Tapentadol PR was effective in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic OA pain in elderly and younger patients. Compared to oxycodone CR, the overall and the gastrointestinal tolerability profile in particular were better in all tapentadol PR groups, regardless of age.

description: Objective: To evaluate four models based on potential predictors for achieving a response to pregabalin treatment for neuropathic pain (NeP). Methods: In total, 46 pain studies were screened, of which 27 NeP studies met the criteria for inclusion in this analysis. Data were pooled from these 27 placebo-controlled randomized trials to assess if baseline characteristics (including mean pain and pain-related sleep interference [PRSI] scores), early clinical response during weeks 1–3 of treatment (change from baseline in pain and PRSI scores), and presence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were predictive of therapeutic response. Therapeutic response was defined as a ≥30% reduction from baseline in either pain and/or PRSI scores at week 5 with supplemental analyses to predict pain outcomes at weeks 8 and 12. Predictors of Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) were also evaluated. Four models were assessed: Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, and Partial Least Squares. Results: The number of pregabalin-treated subjects in the training/test datasets, respectively, were 2818/1407 (30% pain analysis), 2812/1405 (30% sleep analysis), and 2693/1345 (PGIC analysis). All four models demonstrated consistent results, and the most important predictors of treatment outcomes at week 5 and pain outcomes at weeks 8 and 12 were the reduction in pain score and sleep score in the first 1–3 weeks. The presence or absence of the most common AEs in the first 1–3 weeks was not correlated with any treatment outcome. Conclusions: Subjects with an early response to pregabalin are more likely to experience an end-of-treatment response.

description: Using azimuthally symmetrized cylindrical coordinates, we report the consequences of zero-energy quantal states on the von Roos Hamiltonian. A position-dependent mass M(ρ,ϕ,z)=bz^{j}ρ^{2\u{psion}+1}/2 is used. We show that the zero-energy setting not only offers an additional degree of freedom towards feasible separability for the von Roos Hamiltonian, but also manifestly yields auxiliary quantized ambiguity parametric constraints.

description: We determine the structure of the Hodge ring, a natural object encoding the Hodge numbers of all compact Kaehler manifolds. As a consequence of this structure, there are no unexpected relations among the Hodge numbers, and no essential differences between the Hodge numbers of smooth complex projective varieties and those of arbitrary Kaehler manifolds. The consideration of certain natural ideals in the Hodge ring allows us to determine exactly which linear combinations of Hodge numbers are birationally invariant, and which are topological invariants. Combining the Hodge and unitary bordism rings, we are also able to treat linear combinations of Hodge and Chern numbers. In particular, this leads to a complete solution of a classical problem of Hirzebruch's.

description: We propose a second order finite volume scheme for nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. For some of these models (porous media equation, drift-diffusion system for semiconductors, ...) it has been proved that the transient solution converges to a steady-state when time goes to infinity. The present scheme preserves steady-states and provides a satisfying long-time behavior. Moreover, it remains valid and second-order accurate in space even in the degenerate case. After describing the numerical scheme, we present several numerical results which confirm the high-order accuracy in various regime degenerate and non degenerate cases and underline the efficiency to preserve the large-time asymptotic.

description: Objective. To compare efficacy and safety of tapentadol prolonged release (PR) vs. oxycodone-controlled release (CR) in younger patients (<65 years of age) and in elderly patients (≥65 and ≥75 years of age) in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain. Methods. Data from two double-blind, randomized, placebo- and oxycodone CR-controlled phase 3 trials were pooled and stratified by age. Primary efficacy endpoints were change from baseline in average pain intensity at week 12 (US endpoint) and over the entire maintenance period (non-US endpoint). Results. A total of 1357 patients <65 years, 653 patients ≥65 years, and 176 patients ≥75 years of age were assessed. The comparison between tapentadol PR and oxycodone CR showed numerically better pain relief under tapentadol PR for both primary endpoints in all three age groups. More favorable improvements were also observed for patient global impression of change, the Short Form-36 physical component score, and EuroQoL-5Dimensions health status index. In the elderly, incidences of dizziness and somnolence were comparable between active treatments, but incidences of nausea, vomiting, and constipation were considerably lower under tapentadol PR. Treatment completion rates were lowest under oxycodone CR; >50% of elderly oxycodone CR patients named side effects as the main reason for discontinuation. Conclusions. Tapentadol PR was effective in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic OA pain in elderly and younger patients. Compared to oxycodone CR, the overall and the gastrointestinal tolerability profile in particular were better in all tapentadol PR groups regardless of age.

description: Objective: To analyze the effect of brexpiprazole on metabolic parameters and body weight in adults with schizophrenia, including clinically relevant sub-groups of patients, based on data from two pivotal phase 3 studies (NCT01393613; NCT01396421) and a long-term extension study (NCT01397786). Methods: The short-term studies were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose (2 and 4 mg/day), 6-week phase 3 studies. The long-term study was an open-label 52-week study, recruiting de novo patients and those completing either short-term study. Maximum exposure to brexpiprazole was 58 weeks. Fasting metabolic parameters and weight were measured throughout the studies. Metabolic values were characterized as normal, borderline, or high (cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose) and low or normal (HDL), using commonly reported thresholds. The incidences of all possible shifts in metabolic parameters were measured from baseline to any time post-baseline during the first 6 weeks, first 6 months, and last 6 months of treatment. Results: In short-term studies, the proportion of brexpiprazole-treated patients with unfavorable shifts in metabolic parameters was low and like that of placebo-treated patients; the incidence of these shifts was not dose-dependent. During both short- and long-term treatment, the incidence of unfavorable shifts with brexpiprazole was lower than that of favorable shifts. During short-term studies, the mean increase in body weight was 1.2 kg with brexpiprazole treatment and 0.2 kg with placebo. The mean increase in body weight during long-term treatment was 3.2 kg at week 58. Conclusions: Brexpiprazole treatment was associated with moderate weight gain and small changes in metabolic parameters during both short- and long-term treatment.
Novel cellulose based foam-formed products : applications and numerical studies
Creators: name: Jahangiri, Pouyan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: A novel methodology using cellulose fibres in foam laid media is proposed in order to produce biodegradable, low-density porous materials called foam-paper. Foam-forming is a process in which paper-making fibres are located among the bubbles created by aqueous solution of surfactant. Finally, the suspension is de-watered and a 3D structure of fibre-network is made. Due to the 3D porous structure, high specific volume and capability of cellulose to participate in chemical reactions, these new products can be applied in heat insulation, sound absorption and aerosol filtration. Simplicity of production, biodegradability and being economically affordable are the most noticeable factors which prefer foam-papers to the other products with similar applications. In the current work, the first set of experiments is done on morphological characteristics of foam-papers. The effect of manufacturing condition (foam air-content) and fibre morphology such as fibre length and coarseness on the characteristics of the final product is studied. The influence of fibre specific surface (by adding valley beaten fibres), fibrillation (by using PFI refined fibres) and different pulp types is also investigated on tensile-index and specific volume (bulk) of the final products. The second set of experiments is run to specify the novel applications of foam-papers in sub-micron aerosol filtration, heat insulation and sound absorption. In order to perceive the physics of the flow though the grossly disordered geometry of foam-papers and also for providing insight into the structure of these novel products, numerical simulations based on Lattice-Boltzmann technique are carried out. For this purpose, 2D micro X-ray tomographic images are taken from the cross-section of some foam-paper samples to reconstruct their 3D structure. Finally, a model based on random cylinders and the frequency distribution of fibres in the thickness of the samples is proposed to reduce the huge amount of memory and large amount of CPU time.

description: We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilities. The unprecedented sample size allows us to constrain the REST FRAME X-ray properties of GRBs from a statistical perspective, with particular reference to intrinsic time scales and the energetics of the different light-curve phases in a common rest-frame 0.3-30 keV energy band. Temporal variability episodes are also studied and their properties constrained. Two fundamental questions drive this effort: i) Does the X-ray emission retain any kind of "memory"of the prompt gamma-ray phase? ii) Where is the dividing line between long and short GRB X-ray properties? We show that short GRBs decay faster, are less luminous and less energetic than long GRBs in the X-rays, but are interestingly characterized by similar intrinsic absorption. We furthermore reveal the existence of a number of statistically significant relations that link the X-ray to prompt gamma-ray parameters in long GRBs; short GRBs are outliers of the majority of these 2-parameter relations. However and more importantly, we report on the existence of a universal 3-parameter scaling that links the X-ray and the gamma-ray energy to the prompt spectral peak energy of BOTH long and short GRBs: E_{X,iso}\propto E_{gamma,iso}^{1.00\pm 0.06}/E_{pk}^{0.60\pm 0.10}.

description: Open quantum systems have attracted great attention, since inevitable coupling between quantum systems and their environment greatly affects the features of interest of these systems. Quantum discord, is a measure of the total nonclassical correlation in a quantum system that includes, but is not exclusive to, the distinct property of quantum entanglement. Quantum discord can exist in separated quantum states and plays an important role in many fundamental physics problems and practical quantum information tasks. There have been numerous investigations on quantum discord and its counterpart classical correlation. This short review focuses on highlighting the system-environment dynamics of two-qubit quantum discord and the influence of initial system-environment correlations on the dynamics of open quantum systems. The external control effect on the dynamics of open quantum systems are involved. Several related experimental works are discussed.
