description: Morning dry mouth, commonly seen in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients, is absent in current OSA screening tools. This study evaluated the link between morning dry mouth and OSA’s clinical symptoms and complications, aiming to determine its viability as a screening indicator. This research analyses baseline data from a prospective cohort study (the PIFCOPD study). Demographic information, medical history, and the presence of morning dry mouth symptoms were collected. The STOP-Bang questionnaire was performed for OSA screening. Logistic regression analyses were employed to establish the correlations between morning dry mouth and the clinical symptoms and comorbidities of OSA. 1291 participants (62.1±7.5 years; 501 males, 790 females) were included, of which 416 reported morning dry mouth (32.2%). 42.6% in the high-risk OSA group and 22.1% in the low-risk group reported morning dry mouth. Individuals with morning dry mouth also showed higher STOP-Bang scores (3.3±1.6 vs. 2.3±1.4, P<0.01). Significant associations were found between morning dry mouth and loud snoring, observed sleep apnea, daytime fatigue, and hyperlipidemia (P<0.01), but not with alcohol consumption, tea consumption, diabetes, or hypertension. Morning dry mouth is associated with increased OSA risk and its clinical signs, suggesting its potential as an OSA screening symptom. This study has been registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov (registration identifier: NCT03532893) on 21 May 2018.

description: Evidence has shown significant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on physicians. We hypothesized that these effects would impact surgical and non-surgical resident education differently, with non-surgical specialties being more heavily impacted by frontline work and surgical specialties losing elective cases. We examined well-being and burnout among resident physicians in surgical and non-surgical specialties during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic using the Mayo Physician Well-Being Index (WBI). Completed surveys were received from 110 residents, 55% of whom were in a surgical training program. 35% of respondents were identified as ‘at risk’ for burnout. Increased demands from work (adj. OR 3.79, 95% CI 1.50, 9.59, p = 0.005) was associated with an increased likelihood for being ‘at risk’ compared to those without increased demands. Odds of having increased stress level were higher amongst residents with fear/anxiety of the unknown (adj. OR 4.21, 95% CI 1.63, 10.90, p = 0.003) and more demands outside work (adj. OR 10.54, 95% CI 2.63, 42.16, p = 0.001) but lower amongst residents with more time for studying (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.09, 0.64, p = 0.005). Risk for burnout was not significantly different between surgical and non-surgical specialties when adjusting for increased demands from work (adj. OR 1.43, 95% CI 0.60, 3.37, p = 0.0.418). Perceived effects of the COVID-19 pandemic upon residents’ educational experience was mixed: reduced clinical volume had a negative impact, while increased time for study was perceived favorably. These findings suggest potential strategies and targets to mitigate the stress and burnout of a future crisis, whether large or small, among surgical and non-surgical trainees.
Dynamics of nasopharyngeal colonisation & correlations with lymphocyte populations in the adenoid & peripheral blood of chronic Otitis Media -prone children

description: Aim: Nasopharyngeal cultures of chronic otitis media (COM)-prone and non COM-prone children were correlated with blood and adenoid lymphocyte populations to evaluate microbe-host relationships relating to the pathogenesis of COM. The clinical significance of nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) culture as a screening tool for adenoid culture was also assessed.

Methodology: Forty children scheduled for adenoidectomy were enrolled into COM-prone or non COM-prone groups (for each, n = 20). Conventional culture was performed for adenoid biopsy and NPA bacteriology. Peripheral blood and adenoid mononuclear cells (PBMC and AdMNC, respectively) were stained with viability stain, monoclonal anti-CD19, anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD25 and anti-CD127. Cells were permeabilised, fixed and intracellularly stained with monoclonal anti-FoxP3 and quantified by flow cytometry.

Results: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella catarrhalis and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) were positive in 44%, 39%, 22% and 22% of COM-prone children with no significant differences compared to non COM-prone children. S. pneumoniae NPA culture was a significant predictor of S. pneumoniae culture at the adenoid (OR = 39.30, CI = 3.68 – 419.28, p = 0.002). Children with positive otopathogen nasopharyngeal culture had significantly more FoxP3+ CD25hi+ CD127lo+ PBMC (M = 4.4%) compared to otopathogen culture negative children (M = 3.1%, p = 0.005).

Conclusion: Otopathogens are positively associated with regulatory T cells, potentially inducing a suppressive effector response to promote colonisation and infection chronicity, thus supporting further investigation of their influence on lymphocyte activity. S. pneumoniae NPA cultures may be of direct clinical benefit to clinicians in making diagnoses and recommendations for prophylactic antibiotic therapies in COM.

(Fig. 101)
Reared specimens. OKLAHOMA: Payne Co., Stillwater, 22.iii.2016, em. 14.iv.2016, M.W. Palmer, ex Lepidium oblongum, # CSE3069 (3 adults, MLBM).
Host. Brassicaceae: Lepidium oblongum Small.
Biology. The larva is slender and yellow with dark spots, seemingly identical with that of P. chalybeipennis figured by Eiseman (2015). The single photographed mine is full-depth and linear, about 0.5 mm wide, following the margin of a leaf whose main body is only 1 mm wide, and entering some of the narrow lobes (Fig. 101). Frass particles form a more or less continuous central line.
Notes. The genus Phyllotreta includes 48 Nearctic species, which are generally associated with mustards and related plants (Brassicales) (Riley et al. 2003; Clark et al. 2004). The immature stages of many species are unknown, and just seven are reported to be leafminers; most feed on roots and a few are stem borers. The species with maculate elytra were revised by Smith (1985), including five leafminers: P. armoraciae (Koch) (normally feeding only in the midrib and petiole), P. constricta Smith, P. liebecki (discussed above), P. oregonensis (Crotch), and P. zimmermanni (Crotch). The immaculate species mostly have not been taxonomically studied since Chittenden (1927), when genitalia were not yet known to be critical for identifying species in the genus. Even so, based on external characters, our specimens do not match well with the published descriptions of any of the species known to occur in North America, and they most likely belong to an undescribed species. However, extensive taxonomic research would be required to confirm this (S.M. Clark, in litt.). The two immaculate species known to mine leaves are P. aeneicollis (Crotch), which is recorded from several genera of Brassicaceae, and the Cakile Mill. (Brassicaceae) specialist P. chalybeipennis. Chittenden (1923) reported Lepidium as a larval host for P. aeneicollis, P. liebecki, P. oregonensis, and P. zimmermanni; the record for P. oregonensis, as well as the assertion that it is a leafminer, requires confirmation, since Chittenden’s concept of P. oregonensis included at least two other species (Smith 1985).

Reflected Wave Challenges and Mitigation in 2L SiC Motor Drives: Cable Modeling and Split-Phase Topology-Slides

PELS Webinar Slides

Abstract:The fast-switching (high dv/dt) capability of wide band gap (WBG) power devices, such as silicon carbide (SiC), has enabled the development of high-efficiency and compact motor drives. However, high dv/dt brings concern of exacerbated reflected wave phenomenon (RWP) in cable-connected motor drives. RWP causes motor-side overvoltage and drive-side overcurrent, stressing motor winding insulation and power devices, ultimately lowering system reliability. From the perspective of RWP modeling, high dv/dt implies high-spectral content at high frequency (HF) and necessitates length-extendable HF cable modeling for accurate prediction of RWP transients. Furthermore, for RWP suppression, particularly in two-level (2L) drives, it is desirable to utilize a SiC-based topology with a simple structure and lower control complexity, which provides enhanced RWP mitigation while maintaining high efficiency. In line with these objectives, this webinar introduces a cable modeling approach that encompasses the characterization of HF phenomena, including skin and proximity effects, mutual coupling, and common mode (CM) parasitic elements. The proposed modeling approach also addresses the impact of infrastructural parasitics and unavoidable additional impedance networks, such as lead wires, on RWP. A software package has been developed to facilitate fast cable model generation from measured impedance data. Following the cable modeling, the webinar delves into a brief overview of RWP mitigation techniques and evaluation of 2L Split-Phase topology as a feasible alternative to the standard 2L topology with an output reactor for enhanced RWP mitigation in 2L SiC-based motor drives.

(Figs. 102, 106, 165)
Reared specimen. NORTH CAROLINA: Scotland Co., Laurinburg, St. Andrews University, 26.iv.2016, em. 23.v.2016, T. S. Feldman, ex Lepidium virginicum, # CSE2490 (1♀, MLBM).
Host. Brassicaceae: Lepidium virginicum L.
Biology. As with Phyllotreta sp. 1, the larva was seemingly identical with that of P. chalybeipennis (Fig. 106). It formed a full-depth, linear mine, tending to follow the lateral veins, with frass deposited in a mostly liquid central line, interspersed with irregular, more solid particles (Fig. 102).
Parasitoids. An adult of Neochrysocharis arizonensis (Crawford) (Eulophidae) (CSE2477, BMNH) emerged on 21 May from an aborted mine in the same leaf from which the adult beetle was reared. Two eulophids have been reported from Nearctic Phyllotreta spp. previously: N. formosus (Westwood) from P. aeneicollis (Hansson 1995), and Pediobius phyllotretae (Riley) from P. zimmermanni (Riley 1884).
Notes. Identification of Phyllotreta females is extremely difficult because most diagnostic features deal with either the male antennae or the aedeagus (S.M. Clark, in litt.). The situation is made worse by the fact that this female belongs to one of the entirely black species (see Phyllotreta sp. 1).

description: Die Schifffahrt ist das effzienteste und bei weitem wichtigste Transportmittel im internationalen Handel. Aufgrund des hohen Transportvolumens ist die Schifffahrt trotz der im Vergleich zu anderen Transportmitteln hohen Effzienz beim Gütertransport ein signifikanter Verursacher von CO2-Emissionen. Steigende Ölpreise sowie verschärfende gesetzliche Regulierungen der Emissionen erfordern zusätzlich Untersuchungen, wie in der Schiffahrt Treibstoff eingespart werden kann. In dieser Arbeit werden die wichtigen Einflussfaktoren auf die Effzienz eines Schiffes im Betrieb analysiert, mit dem Fokus auf Einsparpotentiale im Treibstoffverbrauch und Minderung der Emissionen. Aufgrund der lange Zeit niedrigen Energiekosten in der Schiffahrt und der damit einhergegangenen Vernachlässigung der eingehenden Verbrauchsüberwachung wird ein Bedarf an systematischer Erfassung und Auswertung der Leistungs- und Treibstoffverbräuche in den verschiedenen Betriebsmodi und unter variierenden äußeren Einflussfaktoren festgestellt. Zur Analyse der Energieeffzienz an Bord von Schiffen wird ein modellbasiertes System vorgestellt, das die Effzienz der Energiewandler im Betrieb auswertet und darstellbar macht. Dies kann sowohl mit Echtzeitdaten an Bord, mit gespeicherten Betriebsdaten an Land, als auch mit Design-Vorgaben zur Optimierung der Maschinenanlage erfolgen. Die Grundlagen und der Aufbau der Modelle zur Analyse werden dargestellt. Die erstellten Modelle enthalten sowohl Energiewandler, die Primärenergie in Nutzenergie umwandeln, wie Motoren, als auch solche zur weiteren Umwandlung der Nutzenergie, wie Generatoren. Des Weiteren werden wichtige Verbraucher am Beispiel der Kühlwasserpumpen untersucht. Während bisherige Untersuchungen überwiegend auf der Messung der Treibstoffverbräuche basierten oder diese nicht betrachteten, wird der Treibstoffverbrauch der Motoren anhand der Maschinencharakteristik und der gemessenen Leistung mit zugehörigen Umgebungsbedingungen bestimmt. Die entwickelte Methode ermöglicht darüber hinaus die exergetische Analyse und Optimierung der Maschinenanlage im Betrieb. An Bord eines Containerschiffes wird eine Messkampagne durchgeführt und die Methode und Modelle zur Analyse der Effizienz im Betrieb erfolgreich mit den gesammelten Daten validiert. Weitere Untersuchungen der Messdaten zeigen Verbesserungen durch optimierten Betrieb der vorhandenen Maschinenanlage auf und quantifizieren Einsparungen, die mit partiellem Austausch durch effizientere Maschinen bei dem vorliegenden Lastprofil erreicht werden können.

description: The objective of this study was to assess the risk of seizures in Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) patients in a large cohort of Israeli subjects, in comparison to matched controls. Patients diagnosed with GCA between 2002 and 2017 were included. Controls were matched based on sex, age, socioeconomic status, country of birth, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension in a 4:1 ratio. Patients with seizure records prior to the study period were excluded. Hazard ratios for seizures was obtained by cox regression models. The study cohort was composed by 8,103 GCA patients and 32,412 matched controls. The GCA group included 5,535 women (68%), 2,644 patients born in Israel (33%), and 2,888 patients with low socioeconomic status (36%). The median age of this group was 71. During the followed cumulative person-years of 54,641 and 222,537 in the GCA and control group, respectively, 15.92 cases per 10,000 person-years was found in the GCA group, compared to 9.62 per 10,000 person-years in the controls. GCA was associated with seizures in the unadjusted (HR = 1.66, 95% CI [1.29 to 2.13]) and adjusted (HR = 1.67, 95% CI [1.3 to 2.14]) models. GCA was also associated with seizures after controlling for strokes (HR = 1.55, 95% CI [1.16 to 2.07]). According to this study, individuals with GCA are at a higher risk of developing seizures when compared to the general population. This increased risk is independent of their predisposition for stroke. One proposed mechanism is that the GCA pro-inflammatory state may decrease the neuronal threshold for depolarization.

description: This study aimed to investigate the nephroprotective effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension based on real-world clinical data. The study aimed to provide a theoretical basis for evidence-based pharmacological treatment of chronic kidney disease in this population. The ‘Health Cloud’ platform of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission was employed to identify and screen elderly patients with T2DM and hypertension. The propensity score matching cohort was further constructed to estimate the effect of SGLT2i on the risk of rapid decline in renal function (∆eGFR≤-5 mL/min/1.73 m2 or ∆eGFR%≤-5%). Multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the results. After propensity score matching, no significant differences of covariates were identified between the SGLT2i and non-SGLT2i groups. The results of multivariate logistic models demonstrated a consistent and inverse correlation between SGLT2i use and the risk of rapid eGFR decline, whether defined as ∆eGFR≤-5 mL/min/1.73 m2 (OR = 0.60, 95% CI:0.38-0.96) or ∆eGFR%≤-5% (OR = 0.57, 95% CI:0.37-0.89). In the stratification of renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi) treatment, SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of rapid eGFR decline in the RASi group (all ORs < 1, p < 0.05), with no interaction between SGLT2i and RASi (all P for interaction > 0.05) detected. SGLT2i significantly reduced the risk of rapid eGFR decline in elderly patients with T2DM and hypertension, but the synergistic effect with RASi remains unclear.

(Figs. 107–108, 166)
Collected specimens. COLORADO: Chaffee Co., Big Bend State Wildlife Area, 8.vii.2015, C.S. Eiseman, on Atriplex canescens, # CSE1686 (5 adults, MLBM).
Hosts. * Amaranthaceae: Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. Blake (1939) listed this as a food plant, along with Beta vulgaris L., Chenopodium L. (Amaranthaceae), and Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poaceae). Probably these were all adult collection records; certainly, Sorghum is not a suitable larval host.
Biology. There are no published accounts of the larvae or leaf mines of Monoxia elegans. We found adults on Atriplex canescens plants with numerous abandoned mines, as well as a few containing dead larvae. Given the similarity of these to other Monoxia mines and larvae we have observed, along with the fact that all the adults we collected were M. elegans, we feel it is safe to attribute the mines to this species. The mines (Figs. 107–108) were full-depth blotches, some quite small and some occupying entire leaves. Frass was sparse, scattered in discrete, irregular pellets 1–4 times as long as wide. We did not find any mines containing pupal exuviae, so we believe that pupation was external, as observed by Eiseman (2014) with M. angularis (LeConte) and with all other Monoxia species we have reared. This is in contrast to Santiago-Blay’s (2004) statement that Monoxia larvae pupate inside their leaf mines.
Notes. Six species of Monoxia LeConte and three species of Yingabruxia Viswajyothi & Clark have been associated with Atriplex, but so far M. elegans is the only one specifically recorded from A. canescens (Clark et al. 2004; Santiago-Blay 2004).

Reared specimens. COLORADO: Delta Co., Leroux Creek, 3100 Rd., N of Rte 92, 11.vii.2015, em. 27–29.vii.2015, C.S. Eiseman, ex Grindelia squarrosa, # CSE1860 (5 adults, MLBM).
Collected specimens. COLORADO: Delta Co., Leroux Creek, 3100 Rd., N of Rte 92, 11.vii.2015, C.S. Eiseman, on Grindelia squarrosa, # CSE1687 (1 adult, MLBM).
Hosts. * Asteraceae: Grindelia squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal. Blake (1939) stated that Monoxia inornata “has been collected repeatedly on species of Grindelia ”; no other hosts were reported, but she examined a series from Colorado “which closely resembles this species and which consists of a larva, a pupa, and three shriveled, immature adults... labeled as being found on cottonwood” (Salicaceae: Populus L.). Clark et al. (2004) suggested that this and previous records of Monoxia on cottonwood may refer to misidentified beetles of another galerucine genus, Tricholochmaea Laboissière. Otherwise, the only other reported host association for M. inornata is one of adults feeding on leaves of Solidago L. (Asteraceae) in South Dakota (Kirk & Balsbaugh 1975).
Biology. Ours appears to be the first rearing record for Monoxia inornata. As with M. angularis and M. elegans on Atriplex, the larvae form full-depth blotch mines that are initiated through the upper epidermis (Figs. 109–110). Frass is in scattered, roughly round pellets, occasionally aggregated into small masses. All of the larvae we reared pupated outside their mines.

description: Einführende Bemerkung: Der Herrschaftsraum --- Die Schwerpunkte der Grundherrschaft des Hochstifts Passau lagen im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert innerhalb der heutigen Grenzen des Freistaates Bayern und der Republik Österreich. Aus dieser räumlichen Lage ergaben sich Beziehungen positiver und negativer Art. Die gemeinsamen kulturellen Wurzeln der Menschen bewirkten intensive wirtschaftliche und soziale Beziehungen, die weder durch konfessionelle noch durch sprachliche Barrieren beeinträchtigt wurden. Andererseits waren die Herrscherhäuser, Wittelsbach und Habsburg, bestrebt, ihre Herrschaft auszuweiten. Die Entwicklung des Hochstifts Passau war von diesen Einflüssen geprägt. ----- Fragestellung und Zielsetzung: Ziel des Projekts ist, die Struktur der Grundherrschaft des Hochstifts Passau in Bestand und Entwicklungsprozeß während des 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts darzustellen. ----- Quellen: Grundlage der Untersuchung sind die ältesten Urbare des Hochstifts Passau, die bereits 1933 von Adam Maidhof ediert wurden, doch bisher ohne Bearbeitung und Auswertung blieben. ----- Methode: 1. Die einzelnen Urbarnotizen werden exzerpiert, nach den amtlichen Ortsverzeichnissen von Bayern und Österreich lokalisiert und in einem statistisch-topographischen Teil festgelegt (Band 2). --- 2. Auf der Grundlage der statistisch-topographischen Auswertung werden Ausbildung und Struktur der hochstiftischen Grundherrschaft beschrieben und anschließend die geographischen, wirtschafts- und sozialgeschichtlichen Ergebnisse in einer Zusammenschau dargelegt (Band 1). --- 3. Die Ergebnisse werden in eine Karte übertragen, gegliedert nach Realien und Rechten. Die Struktur der Grundherrschaft wird so deutlich gemacht (Kartenbeilagen).

description: This work focuses on the extraction of organic selenium compounds (selenomethionine, Se-Met) from Antarctic Krill and on the adsorption studies with several adsorbents. Various extraction methods such as ultrasound supported digestion were employed for the separation of Se-Met from krill samples. A novel procedure for the determination of Se-Met with bifunctional chromatography is provided. --- Selenium is a trace element with recognized nutritional essentiality for human health. High bioavailability of the selenium species encountered in marine products makes the qualitative and quantitative determination and the isolation of organic selenium compounds such as Se-Met a challenging subject. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a small crustacean living in the ecosystem of the Antarctic region of the Southern Ocean and is regarded as one of the most important protein sources of the future, because of its low cholesterol level and the high levels of essential amino acids and of polyunsaturated fatty acids. --- For the isolation of organic selenium compounds from Antarctic krill, analytical methods such as aqueous extraction, enzymatic digestion and ultrasound assisted enzymatic hydrolysis were employed. Among these, the enzymatic treatment with pronase E led to quantitative selenium recovery. The enzymatic krill hydrolysate was further subjected to size exclusion chromatography and the analysis of collected chromatographic fractions demonstrated that the majority of the selenium species have a molecular weight under 600 Da. The release of low molecular weight species was also achieved by combining ultrasound and enzymatic hydrolysis. The simultaneous treatment led to a significant reduction of digestion time and an increase in sample handling easiness. --- The krill fractions collected after size exclusion chromatography were further subjected to bifunctional chromatography. For this purpose, several adsorbent materials were investigated on their ability to adsorb Se-Met. The influence of parameters such as adsorption time, pH and temperature conditions was considered. Oasis MCX, a mixed mode cation exchanger from Waters GmbH, was selected for bifunctional chromatography. A chromatographic column packed with the Oasis MCX material was employed for the adsorption studies with Se-Met standards and krill samples. Good recovery and simple determination of Se-Met were achieved. Furthermore, the employment of the Oasis MCX packed column did not show any performance diminution after multiple experiments and demonstrates the Oasis MCX potential for chromatography procedures, beyond its traditional application for sample preconcentrations in disposable columns and cartridges.

description: Gegenstand dieser Dissertation ist Galois-Korrespondenz für von Neumann Algebren und deren Zusammenspiel mit nichtkommutativer Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Darstellungstheorie für kompakte Gruppen, insbesondere in das Theorem von Peter-Weyl, und in Operatoralgebren, einschließlich von Neumann Algebren, Gruppen von Automorphismen, semidirekte Produkte und Dekompositionstheorie, formulieren wir die ersten Schritte einer nichtkommutativen Version der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und präsentieren nachtabelsche Analoge für stochastische Prozesse und Martingale. Die zentralen Objekte dieser Arbeit sind eine von Neumann Algebra M und eine kompakte Gruppe G, die auf M wirkt, für die wir in drei aufeinander aufbauenden Fällen, d.h. für innere, äußere und allgemeine Gruppen von Automorphismen, bijektive Korrespondenzen zwischen Untergruppen von G und von Neumann Unteralgebren von M angeben. Darüberhinaus identifizieren wir in unserem Formalismus nichtabelsche Martingale und beweisen für diese ein Konvergenztheorem.
description: The subject of this thesis is Galois correspondence for von Neumann algebras and its interplay with non-commutative probability theory. After a brief introduction to representation theory for compact groups, in particular to Peter-Weyl theorem, and to operator algebras, including von Neumann algebras, automorphism groups, crossed products and decomposition theory, we formulate first steps of a non-abelian analogues of stochastic processes and martingales. The central objects are a von Neumann algebra M and a compact group G acting on M, for which we give in three consecutive steps, i.e. for inner, spatial and general automorphism groups one-to-one correspondences between subgroups of G and von Neumann subalgebras of M. Furthermore, we identify non-abelian martingales in our approach and prove for them a convergence theorem.

description: The objective of this study was to assess the risk of seizures in Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) patients in a large cohort of Israeli subjects, in comparison to matched controls. Patients diagnosed with GCA between 2002 and 2017 were included. Controls were matched based on sex, age, socioeconomic status, country of birth, diabetes mellitus and hypertension in a 4:1 ratio. Patients with seizure records prior to the study period were excluded. Hazard ratios for seizures was obtained by cox regression models. The study cohort was composed by 8,103 GCA patients and 32,412 matched controls. The GCA group included 5,535 women (68%), 2,644 patients born in Israel (33%), and 2,888 patients with low socioeconomic status (36%). The median age of this group was 71. During the followed cumulative person-years of 54,641 and 222,537 in the GCA and control group, respectively, 15.92 cases per 10,000 person-years was found in the GCA group, compared to 9.62 per 10,000 person-years in the controls. GCA was associated with seizures in the unadjusted (HR = 1.66, 95%CI [1.29 to 2.13]) and adjusted (HR = 1.67, 95%CI [1.3 to 2.14]) models. GCA was also associated with seizures after controlling for strokes (HR = 1.55, 95%CI [1.16 to 2.07]) According to this study, individuals with GCA are at a higher risk of developing seizures when compared to the general population. This increased risk is independent of their predisposition for stroke. One proposed mechanism is that the GCA pro-inflammatory state may decrease the neuronal threshold for depolarization.

description: In der Berufsbildungs- und Erwachsenenbildungsforschung mangelt es an Historiographien zur beruflichen Weiterbildung. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte in der Geschichtsschreibung dieser beiden erziehungswissenschaftlichen Teildisziplinen konzentrieren sich auf Institutionen, Strukturen, Personen, Theorien und Praktiken ihrer tradierten Forschungsfelder: berufliche Erstausbildung, und hier insbesondere die berufsschulische Bildung, in der historischen Berufsbildungsforschung und außerschulische und -berufliche Bildung Erwachsener in der historischen Erwachsenenbildungsforschung. --- Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit, die im Schnittbereich von Berufsbildungs- und Erwachsenenbildungsforschung anzusiedeln ist, soll ein Beitrag zur Geschichtsschreibung beruflicher Weiterbildung geleistet werden. Es wird versucht, zwei Teilbereiche des beruflichen Weiterbildungssektors historisch zu beleuchten: Weiterbildung für Arbeitslose und Weiterbildung für Beschäftigte der Industrie in der Zeit der Weimarer Republik. --- Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit ist die Annahme, dass Weiterbildung für Arbeitslose und betriebliche Weiterbildung in der Zeit nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg deutliche Konturen erhalten und sich weiter ausdifferenziert haben. Es wird danach gefragt, welche sozioökonomischen Hintergründe, arbeitsmarkt- und beschäftigungspolitischen Kontexte Auslöser für die Ausgestaltungsprozesse darstellten und welche pädagogischen Leitbilder und weiterbildungspolitischen Überlegungen sie begleiteten und ihnen legitimatorischen Rückhalt gaben. Zudem wird versucht, ein Bild von der Praxis der Arbeitslosenbildung und der betrieblichen Weiterbildung zu zeichnen, von den Angeboten, Zielen, Entwicklungstendenzen sowie Interdependenzen im Untersuchungszeitraum.

description: Lenvatinib is a tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor that inhibits vascular and endothelial growth factor receptor kinase activity. This study evaluated the bioequivalence and safety of lenvatinib with Lenvima® . The fasting and postprandial groups were two independent trials. Subjects were randomly divided into two sequences at a ratio of 1:1 for two-cycle crossover administration. Subjects took 10 mg lenvatinib or Lenvima® once per cycle. The wash-out period was 14 days. Detected the plasma drug concentrations and assessed the bioequivalence of two drugs. Besides, we evaluated the safety of the drugs throughout the trial. In the fasting state, the GMRs of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ were 99.89%, 102.98% and 103.19%, respectively. The 90% CIs were all within 80%-125%. In the postprandial state, the GMRs of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞ were 98.96%, 94.25% and 95.27%, respectively. The 90% CIs were all within 80%-125%. All results met the bioequivalence criteria. Both drugs had good safety and tolerance in this trial. This study showed that lenvatinib and Lenvima® had similar bioequivalence and safety in healthy Chinese subjects under fasting and postprandial conditions. This trial is registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial website (http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn/index.html # CTR20191172)
