description: Today, almost half of the patients who are on chronic kidney replacement therapy have diabetes. The enormous worldwide rise in these cases pose potential economic burden for every country and therefore monitoring kidney function should be a practice provided in outpatient settings. Poorly controlled diabetes will not only result in chronic renal failure, but also patients with chronic renal disease will have some metabolic abnormalities that will increase both morbidity and mortality of the patients. While hypertension may associate with most of the diabetic cases, those people with diabetes who have no rise in blood pressure will eventually develop hypertension at later stage of the chronic kidney disease. Many inflammation markers present in case of diabetes, may contribute somehow further to the deterioration of the kidney function especially in those who do not have a properly controlled glucose excursions during day and night. Increased serum creatinine level is considered a definite marker of very late stage chronic renal failure that should be kept in mind. In order to avert increasing the rate of waiting list for kidney transplantation, monitorizing the level of microalbuminuria should be a routine practice delivered in general practitioner’s offices.

description: In this work, a 3.5 GS/s voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using multi-stage noise shaping (MASH) is presented. This 28nm CMOS ADC achieves second-order noise shaping in an easily-scalable, open-loop configuration. A key enabler of the high-bandwidth MASH VCO ADC is the use of a multi-bit estimated error signal. With an OSR of 16, an SNDR of 67 dB and DR of 68 dB are achieved in 109.375 MHz bandwidth. The full-custom pseudo-analog circuits consume 9 mW, while the automatically generated digital circuits consume another 24 mW. A $\mathbf{FoM_{DR} = 163}$ dB and core area of $\mathbf{0.017\,\mathbf{mm}^2}$ are obtained.

description: Despite incredible effort on understanding and awareness of diabetes, management procedure is becoming more challenging since the complications of the disease as well as the newly discovered or yet put on market drugs that may have a suspicious association with cancer. This metabolic disorder itself does already have high prevalence of cancer such as pancreas and colon. Thyroid cancer itself is also increasing and thyroid disorders associated with diabetes is well known endocrinological problem. Rise in thyroid cancer patients in diabetics are also emphasized in meta-analyses. Obesity does seem to be another factor for thyroid cancer; however, it is also commonly associated with patients who have type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 based therapy does not only help diminish blood glucose but help satiety and lose weight as well which is a desired effect of diabetes therapy since losing weight corrects many other cardiovascular risk factors. Thyroid cancer and its connectivity to GLP-1 analogue therapy is a concern, yet not proven; although may diminish the rate of prescription by some diabetologists, although some suggest outweigh the clinical positive effect.

description: MRSA-induced keratitis in rabbit was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of F. sycomorus leaves and C. procera latex extracts. Within the 6 rabbit groups tested, group 1 received sterilized saline, while other groups (2 to 6) received 100 μl of intrastromal injections of 1.5×103 colony forming unit (cfu) ml-1 of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). After 12 hours, groups 3 to 6 also received chloramphenicol, aqueous extract of C. procera latex, aqueous and alcoholic extracts of F. sycomorus leaves, respectively 3 times daily for 12 successive days. The tested extracts inhibited MRSA growth in vitro (i.e. on culture medium). Colony counts in cornea discs from groups 3 to 6 were significantly reduced (P ≤ 0.001) compared to group 2 (untreated). Clinical signs of keratitis were observed on group 2 until the end of experiment. In groups 3 to 6, gradual recovery was observed and signs disappeared by the 12th DPI (days post inoculation). Only mild symptoms persisted in group 5 (aqueous extract of leaves). In group 3 and 5, cornea, iris, ciliary body and conjunctiva showed mild leukocytic infiltration and depigmentation of melanin cells while recovery of cornea and iris was observed in groups 4 and 6. In conclusion, the used extracts have potential therapeutic effects on MRSA-induced keratitis in rabbit.

Can a Cancer Cell Turn into a Normal Cell?

description: HepG2 cells, a human liver cancer cell line (hepatocellular carcinoma), are being considered as a future model for bioartificial liver studies. They have the ability to differentiate and demonstrate some features of normal liver cells. Our previous studies focused on examination of the morphological and functional properties of these cells under different extracellular environmental conditions. We have created a culture model that these cells demonstrate remarkable changes after 30days. These changes include an increase in the cytoplasmic organelles, formation of bile canaliculi, occurrence of junctional complexes between the adjacent cells, existence of microvilli on the apical surfaces, accumulation of glycogen particles in the cytoplasm, an increase at the density of albumin labeled areas and a rise at the Na-K ATPase level on cellular membranes. In addition to these changes, reproduction rate decreases which is another important difference between cancer cells and normal cells. All these changes demonstrate that these liver cancer cells have tendency to change their features and behave like “healthy-normal liver cells”. In other words, they become “specialized” or “mature”. These findings have made us think that if a cancer cell has ability to turn into a healthy cell again. The next step was to investigate the changes on the expression of 84 key genes involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. The genes in the array included those involved in DNA damage, cell growth, cell-cell adhesion, apoptosis, angiogenesis, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, proteolysis, and immune response. Specifically, EGFR, Flt-1, KDR, which are growth factor receptors, were highly expressed on 30th days of the experiment, Similarly, growth factors HGF, IGF2 and VEGFA were markedly higher in these cells. Cell adhesion molecules; CDH1 and CDH13 were significantly upregulated. GADD45B, which is a p53 target gene and known to get induced during growth arrest, was more expressed. On the other hand, the genes that were downregulated included cell cycle regulators and apoptosis genes, such as BIRC5, CCND1, CDKN2A, E2F1, LEF1, MSH2, and TERT. Experiments related with the changes on the expression of some other genes, which are important for carcinogenesis, are also in progress. Behaviors of other cancer cell types under the same cultural conditions and importance of cancer stem cells in differentiation process are other questions to be answered. In future, differentiation of cancer cells in vivo and finally making them behave like “healthy cells” might be another therapeutic approach for cancer treatment.

description: Beta cell loss/impairment of function appears as a significant problem in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) was recently correlated with both types of diabetes with a proposed protective effect. TRAIL was also shown to promote survival and proliferation in different cells such as vascular smooth muscle cells and human vascular endothelial cells. Recently, TRAIL was claimed to protect pancreatic beta cells against cytokine-related harm. We hypothesized a proliferative effect for TRAIL on beta cells, and used Min6 mouse pancreatic beta cell line to test our hypothesis. Min6 cells were treated with various doses of (0, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 ng/mL) soluble TRAIL molecule (sTRAIL) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Survival and proliferation tests (WST-1 and Ki67, respectively) were performed. Phosphorylation levels of intracellular ERK, p38, and Akt molecules were studied by western blotting. We found that sTRAIL did not lead to apoptosis in Min6 cells, but increased survival and induced proliferation at 10 ng/mL dose. ERK and p38 phosphorylation was induced substantially, and Akt was phosphorylated at a lower degree in these cells. Our results suggest that sTRAIL increases cell survival and proliferation in Min6 mouse pancreatic beta cell line. These findings, while requiring further investigation, support a possible therapeutic role for TRAIL in diabetes.

description: Context Colorectal pancreatic metastases (CRPM) are uncommon, thus the role of surgical resection is unclear. We present our experience of management outcomes of patients with CRPM in a regional pancreatic unit. Methods Electronic records of all patients with colorectal cancer (n = 8,228) held by the cancer network were searched for evidence of CRPM. Retrospective analysis of each case was undertaken in relation to diagnosis, management and outcome of CRPM. Results Four cases of CRPM underwent resection (operative group). The interval between diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma and CRPM was 1, 6, 7 and 7 years. CRPM were identified on routine CT surveillance in asymptomatic patients. An additional 5 patients were managed palliatively (non-operative group). In the surgical cohort, median survival was 4 years. One patient remains disease free 4 years 3 months post-surgery. Of 3 patients with recurrent disease, 1 is alive with progressive disease 3 years 11 months post-operatively and 2 passed away at 18 months and 5 years 1 month respectively. Median survival in the palliative group from diagnosis of CRPM was 11 months. Conclusions In selected patients with CRPM surgical resection does confer survival benefit. CRPM arise late in the disease course, with extra-pancreatic metastases frequently diagnosed in the interim. Surgeons outside of pancreatic units should refer cases to their local pancreatic multi-disciplinary team meeting for consideration of resection.

description: Weltweit wächst die Zahl der Menschen mit mehrfacher Staatsangehörigkeit. Der deutsche Gesetzgeber hat mit dem Wegfall der Optionspflicht für junge Erwachsene auf diese Entwicklung reagiert. Fälle, in denen die Staatsangehörigkeit allein als Anknüpfung im IPR versagt, dürften hierdurch weiter zunehmen. Das deutsche IPR räumt dagegen in Art. 5 Abs. 1 S. 2 EGBGB seit 30 Jahren unverändert der deutschen Staatsangehörigkeit den Vorrang ein und erweist sich so, wie der Beitrag zeigt, mit Blick auf den allgemeinen „Trend“ zur Multinationalität als nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Auf europäischer Ebene beeinflusst besonders der Übergang zur Regelanknüpfung an den gewöhnlichen Aufenthalt die herkömmlichen Lehren zur Behandlung von Doppel- und Mehrstaatern. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet daher aktuelle Probleme der mehrfachen Staatsangehörigkeit im nationalen und europäischen Kollisionsrecht. The number of people with multiple nationalities is rising worldwide. As a reaction to this development, the German legislator abolished the law stipulating that young adults have to choose a single nationality. This will likely result in an increasing number of cases in which the nationality as a connecting factor fails in PIL. Surprisingly the German PIL – as stated in the second sentence of Article 5(1) EGBGB – has prioritised the German nationality for the last 30 years. The purpose of this work is to argue that, in light of the current trend towards multiple nationalities, that law is outdated. On the European level the transition from nationality to habitual residence as the main connecting factor particularly affects the common doctrine of multiple nationalities. This article therefore discusses current problems arising from multi-national citizenship within national and European conflict of laws.

description: Context Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common causes for acute hospitalization related to digestive disease. Objectives This study aimed to examine regional variation in national healthcare expenditure for management of acute pancreatitis. Methods The Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2010 was utilized to examine hospitalizations for acute pancreatitis. Total costs per hospitalization were calculated from charges using a cost-to-charge ratio and adjusted for suspected cost determinants from multivariable regression analysis. States were then ranked by costs and divided into tertiles for evaluation of outcome measures, including in-hospital mortality. Results Acute pancreatitis accounted for 288,597 hospitalizations in 2010. Regional variation was demonstrated after adjustment with a mean cost per hospitalization of $12,446.48. There was a difference of $4,870 per hospitalization between states in low cost and high cost tertiles. High cost states had a greater use of mechanical ventilation and infusion of supplemental nutrition (P<0.0001). Despite these differences, in-hospital mortality remained similar across cost tertiles (P=0.44). Several low-cost states were identified in traditionally high-cost regions. Conclusions Significant regional variation in costs for acute pancreatitis persisted after adjusting for patient demographics, hospital characteristics and case mix variables. This variation suggests opportunities for increasing efficiency without compromising quality of care for acute pancreatitis.

description: HERMES (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites) Pathfinder mission aims to observe and localize Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and other transients using a constellation of nanosatellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO). Scheduled for launch in early 2025, the 3U CubeSats will host miniaturized instruments featuring a hybrid Silicon Drift Detector (SDD) and GAGG:Ce scintillator photodetector system, sensitive to X-rays and gamma-rays across a wide energy range. Each HERMES payload contains 120 SDD cells, each with a sensitive area of 45 mm^2, organized into 12 matrices, reading out 60 12.1x6.94x15.0 mm^3 GAGG:Ce scintillators. Photons interacting with an SDD are identified as X-ray events (2-60 keV), while photons in the 20-2000 keV range absorbed by the crystals produce scintillation light, which is read by two SDDs, allowing event discrimination. The detector system, including front-end and back-end electronics, a power supply unit, a chip-scale atomic clock, and a payload data handling unit, fits within a 10x10x10 cm^3 volume, weighs 1.5 kg, and has a maximum power consumption of about 2 W. This paper outlines the development of the HERMES constellation, the design and selection of the payload detectors, and laboratory testing, presenting the results of detector calibrations and environmental tests to provide a comprehensive status update of the mission.

Furthermore, nearly all pseudotumors of the pancreas and retroperitoneum are inflammatory. Case report We present a case of hemosuccus pancreaticus associated with a nonneoplastic noninflammatory pseudotumor of the pancreas. Conclusions Pancreatic pseudotumors are not always inflammatory and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding associated with hemosuccus pancreaticus.

description: Diese Bestandsaufnahme betrachtet das US-amerikanische Haftprüfungsrecht, hier verstanden als funktionaler Teil der Gewaltenteilung. Sie analysiert vier wegweisende Urteile des Supreme Courts aus der Zeit nach dem 11. September 2001 und nimmt eine wissenschaftliche sowie historische Einordnung vor. Die Argumentation der Regierung in den vier Fällen lässt erkennen, dass der Grund für die Wahl militärischer (anstatt polizeilicher) Mittel im „War on Terror" in der Vermeidung des etablierten gerichtlichen Haftprüfungsverfahrens liegt. Der Supreme Court lässt zwar keinen rechtsfreien Raum entstehen, wohl aber „Räume besonderen Rechts", in welchen die Exekutive ohne wesentlichen Widerstand der beiden anderen Gewalten unter den Vorzeichen eines informellen Verteidigungsfalles agieren darf. This article takes inventory of habeas corpus in the United States, understood here mostly as a functional component of the separation of powers. It analyzes four landmark rulings of the Supreme Court since September 11, 2001 and locates them within their historic context and the legal academy. The government’s position in the four cases leads to the conclusion that its choosing of military means, rather than police means, in the "War on Terror" was done to sidestep the well-established habeas review. Even though the Supreme Court did not allow for the creation of an extra-legal spaces, it did assent to "spaces of special law", where the executive – without meaningful review by the two other branches – can operate within the framework of an informal state of emergency.

description: Context Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cysts are rare, benign cysts which can present diagnostic difficulties. Non-invasive imaging alone is unreliable in distinguishing between benign and malignant cysts. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) with analysis of cyst fluid is more reliable, but invasive. In addition, tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) can be grossly elevated in cyst fluid of benign cysts. Case report We present the case of a 67 year old man with an incidental finding of a pancreatic cyst. EUS and FNA-guided aspiration of cyst fluid was performed. Fluid CEA was grossly elevated and resectional surgery was performed. On histological examination the diagnosis was confirmed as lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas. Conclusion Tumor markers such as CEA can be elevated in the cyst fluid of benign pancreatic conditions such as lymphoepithelial cyst. Although the diagnosis is challenging preoperatively, if a systematic algorithm is followed, these conditions can be managed safely and efficiently.

description: Context Papillary gallbladder adenocarcinoma (PGA) represents 5% of malignant gallbladder tumors. Metastatic disease frequently involves lymph nodes or other structures in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Case report A Fifty-nine-year-old female with right upper quadrant pain and a giant gallbladder on ultrasound was found to have a segment 6 liver lesion during an attempted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After appropriate staging, she underwent an open cholecystectomy and extended right hepatic lobectomy with portal lymph node dissection. Pathology demonstrated well-to-moderately differentiated PGA with identical morphology and immunohistochemistry in the liver resection specimen with negative margins. Despite adjuvant chemotherapy, she developed increased uptake in the head of the pancreas on PET scan. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration demonstrated metastatic PGA. She underwent an attempted Whipple operation but due to repeatedly positive pancreatic duct margins, she ended up with a total pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Final pathology showed metastatic PGA along the entire length of the pancreatic duct with only a single focus of tumor invasion into the pancreatic parenchyma. She developed a new liver metastases six months later that was unresponsive to FOLFOX therapy and she died of metastatic disease 33 months from her initial diagnosis. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first report of metastatic PGA recurring along the entire pancreatic duct with disease confined to the pancreas only. We hypothesize that papillary tumor cells spread to pancreatic duct via the common bile duct and remained dormant for several years. An aggressive surgical approach may prolong survival in well-selected patients with PGA’s.

description: A view along the dyke (on the left, with the ditch in the centre), looking south about a mile south of Reach. The dyke runs for about 12 kilometres from Reach in the north to Woodditton in the south, passing through the middle of Newmarket racecourse along the way. Its final phase dates from around 600, so probably demarcated a boundary between rival Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (perhaps East Anglia and Mercia?). It survives along its full length to nearly its original height (up to 11 metres), and a footpath runs along the top the entire distance.

description: Context The impact of R1 resection on outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is unclear, with most studies assessing survival for up to 5 years. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic influence of R1 and R0 resection on >5-year survival in patients with PDAC. Material and methods Of the 271 patients with PDAC who underwent pancreatic resection over a 26-year period, 33 had survived for ≥5 years. R1 status was defined as the presence of tumor tissue ≤1 mm from a circumferential margin surface. Patients were followed-up for 61 to 288 months. Results Of the 33 long-term survivors, 19 and 14 underwent R0 and R1 resection, respectively. The percentage of male patients was significantly higher in the R1 than in the R0 group. The R0 group tended to show a weaker relationship between R status and stage than the R1 group. Multivariate analysis showed that R status was an independent prognostic marker (P=0.0071), and Kaplan–Meier curves showed that >5-year survivors in the R1 group had significantly poorer prognoses (P=0.002). Conclusions Patients who have survived >5 years following R1 resection for PDAC can experience tumor recurrence in the resected area.

title: Essays on the Economics of Hurricanes

description: This dissertation explores how Hurricanes Katrina and Rita affected the economy in New Orleans and nearby areas in Louisiana. Using a variety of econometric techniques, my dissertation aims to understand the effects of these storms on employment, wages, and housing prices.
In the first essay, I focus on employment in New Orleans. I find that Katrina led to significant and lasting job losses in nearly every sector, while the construction sector stood as an exception, recovering within just three months. Interestingly, wages increased in most sectors. This suggests that with fewer workers available, those who remained became more valuable, leading to higher wages.
In the next essay, I examine the impact of Hurricane Katrina on nearby areas. I find, surprisingly, that parishes not directly hit by the hurricane saw more people obtaining and maintaining jobs. Furthermore, the unemployment rate in these areas decreased for nearly a decade following the storm. The average weekly wages earned in these areas also increased by 5%. This indicates that the effects of a disaster can spill over to nearby areas in unexpected ways, providing insights into discussions about migration and employment.
In the final essay, I study the impact of the hurricanes Katrina and Rita on housing prices in Louisiana. I discover that smaller rental units experienced a significant 20% increase in prices, while larger units weren't as affected. This finding suggest hurricanes disproportionately impacted low-income families, leading to a surge in demand for smaller housing units and a consequent rise in prices. On the other hand, demand for larger units in wealthier areas, where homes largely remained intact, didn't change significantly. These findings hold important implications for government responses to population displacement caused by climate-related events.
In summary, this dissertation provides valuable insights into the economic impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It deepens our understanding of how these disasters affect jobs, nearby regions, and rental prices. This research contributes to existing knowledge and informs debates about government policies and responses to large-scale natural disasters, particularly in relation to employment and housing.

description: Context There is scanty data on endoscopic palliative management of pancreatic cystic lesions that cause gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). This is the first case report that illustrates the use of a covered self-expandable metal stent (CSEMS) with an anti-migration system in the management of a symptomatic neoplastic cystic pancreatic lesion. Case report A 92-year-old Chinese female presented with partial GOO for 3 months. Examination revealed a non-tender epigastric mass with moderate abdominal distension. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a significant bulge at the posterior wall of the gastric antrum and food residue in the stomach. A CT scan of the abdomen showed a large pancreatic tail cystic lesion. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) showed a clear, non-septated cystic lesion measuring 9.7x10 cm arising from the pancreatic tail. Analysis of the aspirate revealed the following: Amylase: 3,200 units/L, CEA: 411 ng/mL, CA 19-9 812 U/mL and no malignancy. A Niti-STM Biliary Stent (NAGITM) was used for a cystogastrostomy. This procedure was complicated by a self-limiting intra-abdominal leak, stent migration and bleeding from a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm which was arrested with coil embolization. She progressed well after that with significant symptom improvement and no further complications. Conclusion This is the first case of a CSEMS with an anti-migration system that was used for decompression of a pancreatic cystic neoplasm (PCN). Novel use of this stent is a viable option as palliative management of a PCN in those not fit for surgery but caution needs to be exercised as there can be significant complications.

description: Context Primary venous leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare disease, most commonly affecting the retroperitoneal veins and in particular the inferior vena cava. Five-year survival rate ranges between 33% and 68%. Case Report Complete surgical resection represents the only potentially curative treatment, occasionally achieving long-term survival. LMS of the splenic vein is extremely rare, with only three cases reported in the literature. Conclusion We report a case of primary venous LMS arising from the splenic vein and we briefly review the relevant literature.

description: The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly influenced various aspects of software development activities. Despite their benefits, LLMs also pose notable risks, including the potential to generate harmful content and being abused by malicious developers to create malicious code. Several previous studies have focused on the ability of LLMs to resist the generation of harmful content that violates human ethical standards, such as biased or offensive content. However, there is no research evaluating the ability of LLMs to resist malicious code generation. To fill this gap, we propose RMCBench, the first benchmark comprising 473 prompts designed to assess the ability of LLMs to resist malicious code generation. This benchmark employs two scenarios: a text-to-code scenario, where LLMs are prompted with descriptions to generate code, and a code-to-code scenario, where LLMs translate or complete existing malicious code. Based on RMCBench, we conduct an empirical study on 11 representative LLMs to assess their ability to resist malicious code generation. Our findings indicate that current LLMs have a limited ability to resist malicious code generation with an average refusal rate of 40.36% in text-to-code scenario and 11.52% in code-to-code scenario. The average refusal rate of all LLMs in RMCBench is only 28.71%; ChatGPT-4 has a refusal rate of only 35.73%. We also analyze the factors that affect LLMs' ability to resist malicious code generation and provide implications for developers to enhance model robustness.
