IgA vasculitis

description: Background: IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is the most prevalent primary childhood vasculitis in Sweden, but the disease is considerably rarer in adults. Patients with adult-onset IgAV have more severe organ involvement and worse long-term renal outcomes compared to children. This study aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of adult-onset IgAV in Skåne, southern Sweden. Methods: The study area consisted of Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, with an adult (≥18 years) population of 990 464 on 31 December 2010. Adult patients assigned the ICD-10 code D69.0 between 2000 and 2019 were retrospectively identified in a population-based database. Medical records were reviewed to validate the diagnosis of IgAV and abstract data. Patients defined as IgAV according to the 2012 Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature of Vasculitides with a biopsy-proven diagnosis were included. The incidence rate and point prevalence (p.p.) were estimated per 1 000 000 adults. The p.p. was estimated on 31 December 2019. Results: Fifty-nine patients (19 women) were classified as having adult-onset IgAV. The median age at diagnosis was 38 (IQR 24−55) years. The annual incidence rate was 3.0 per 1 000 000 adults and was higher among men than women (4.0 vs 2.0/1 000 000, P=0.004). The incidence rate decreased with age, with the highest rate in the group aged 18−27 years (Table 1). The point prevalence was estimated to 45.3 /1 000 000 adults and was higher among men (58.7 vs 31.8/1 000 000, P=0.03). Ninety-seven percent of patients presented with non-thrombocytopenic purpura, 78% with renal involvement, 59% with arthritis/arthralgia and 39% with gastrointestinal symptoms. At onset of the disease, 66% received oral corticosteroids (mean dose 40 ± 19 mg/day), three patients (5%) were treated with oral cyclophosphamide (150 mg/day), and one received plasmapheresis. Sixteen patients (27%) started immunosuppressive treatment later during follow-up, most commonly azathioprine. Patients were followed for a median time of 6.5 (IQR 2.8−11.8) years. One patient (35-year-old woman) developed end-stage renal disease 11 years after diagnosis of IgAV and underwent a kidney transplant. In total, five deaths (8%) were observed. Causes of death included malignancy (n=2), stroke (n=1), femur fracture (n=1) and unknown (n=1). The mean age at death was 83 ± 10 years. Conclusions: The incidence of adult-onset IgAV in southern Sweden was comparable with that described in most other European studies. The long-term renal outcome was better than previously reported and the prognosis appears to be favourable. Disclosures: None.

description: Background: This paper presents a new methodology for identifying and prioritizing research gaps, contributing to the nascent literature on systematic ways to identify research gaps. Objectives: The goal of this paper is to report on a gaps analysis of substance use disorder (SUD) research. Based on input from Military Health System stakeholders, we selected the following subtopics as priorities: alcohol use disorder (AUD) and comorbid conditions, prescription opioids, and novel synthetic drugs (NSDs), including synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones, novel synthetic opioids, and e-cigarette use. Methods: Statements of research needs were extracted from authoritative source reports. A work group of 13 subject matter experts then supplemented, consolidated, and refined the statements. Support for each statement was rated based on predetermined metrics to produce a list of high-priority potential research gaps. Work group members searched both published and ongoing research literature to determine whether these potential gaps were sufficiently addressed in the literature. Finally, to prioritize the gaps, work group members rated them on a set of metrics. Results: The work group reduced 175 statements of research needs to a list of 18 final prioritized gaps: nine for AUD, four for prescription opioids, and five for NSDs. For each topic, we present a prioritized list of gaps. Conclusions: This paper describes a method to identify and prioritize research gaps relevant to military and civilian research and presents the prioritized SUD gaps. Our methodology and findings can inform policy makers, researchers, and funding agencies as they consider investments in future research.

description: This thesis has sought to examine the previously un-researched interplay of mental illness in families where both a parent and child experience mental health problems. The study has incorporated four papers focusing on the key research questions: prevalence of mental illness in parents of children attending a regional mental health service; impacts of parental mental illness on children’s recovery trajectory; how parents with a mental illness experience life in a family where a child has a mental illness; and how children with a mental illness experience life in a family with a parent with a mental illness.

description: Background: Researchers are confronted with increased data protection risks when trying to publish in an open manner data related to their studies into environmental factors related to rare diseases, even if the data is pseudonymised. Identification risks exist for the patients being studied, in terms of singling out an individual, data linking with other sources, or inferencing certain data from the linked data. In addition, effective anonymization methods cannot be applied without losing the value of the data for research with low sample sizes, as in rare diseases. For example, permuting the environmental observations would affect the temporality of the data or introducing noise would affect the magnitude of the values. Both methods can potentially hide the signal that the researchers are looking for. Methods: The approach we recommend is to publish example patient event-environmental linked data and its associated metadata, which could be shared as Open Data following the Findable Accessible Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) guiding principles. In our approach, we recommend the example data and metadata are described using the Resource Description Framework (RDF), a standard graph data model, following W3C standards and recommendations for statistical data (RDF Data Cube), dataset descriptors (DCAT), provenance and lineage (PROV-O); and data protection domains (DPV). We then recommend that the data and associated metadata is published in an open repository preferred by your community generating a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the dataset. Results: An example of a dataset that has been published in an open manner according to our proposed approach can be found at the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5544257. The dataset is an example result of associating air pollution and weather data subsets to particular health events within a region in the Republic of Ireland, together with the relevant metadata fields. The implementation of the FAIR guiding principles was applied on the necessary metadata and a Data Protection Impact Assessment, in accordance with the GDPR, was created, therefore ensuring good data protection practices were met to assess the necessary risks that could arise. Conclusions: The approach proposed would facilitate data publication as open as possible for researchers studying rare disease environmental risk factors. Furthermore, the data pre-processing step will be recorded in the metadata (i.e., a transparent record) enhancing the data re-use of researchers in the community and stakeholders. Disclosures: None.

description: Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques have shown potential to improve cognition in healthy individuals and treat the cognitive impairments associated with various psychiatric and neurological illnesses, however effects tend to be highly variable. The current thesis found that a novel form of brain stimulation can induce more reliable improvements in cognitive performance in healthy individuals. This research also improved understanding regarding the neural underpinnings of cognitive impairment in depression, and informed the mechanisms through which brain stimulation alters cognition in this population.

description: We discuss a mechanism for the realization of supersolids in lattices in the absence of intersite interactions that surprisingly works as well at unit filling. This mechanism, that we study for the case of the sawtooth lattice, is based on the existence of frustrated and unfrustrated plaquettes. For sufficiently large interactions and frustration the particles gather preferentially at unfrustrated plaquettes breaking spontaneously translational invariance, resulting in a supersolid. We show that for the sawtooth lattice the supersolid exists for a large region of parameters for densities above half filling. Our results open a feasible path for realizing supersolids in existing ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices without the need for long-range interactions.
On the Geometrization of Quantum Mechanics
Creators: name: Tavernelli, Ivano
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is commonly formulated in terms of wavefunctions (probability amplitudes) obeying the static and the time-dependent Schroedinger equations (SE). Despite the success of this representation of the quantum world a wave-particle duality concept is required to reconcile the theory with observations (experimental measurements). A first solution to this dichotomy was introduced in the de Broglie-Bohm theory according to which a pilot wave (solution of the SE) is guiding the evolution of particle trajectories. Here, I propose a geometrization of quantum mechanics that describes the time evolution of particles as geodesic lines in a curved space, whose curvature is induced by the quantum potential. This formulation allows therefore the incorporation of all quantum effects into the geometry of space-time, as it is the case for gravitation in the general relativity.

description: Background: Binge drinking is common in college students, and many drink in quantities greater than the standard definition of bingeing. Combined use of additional substances, particularly marijuana, is also common. Objectives: Increased impulsivity and sensation seeking are risk factors for bingeing, and this study was designed to characterize their association with extreme compared to standard bingeing, as well as with combined bingeing and marijuana use. Negative consequences of alcohol use were also investigated. Methods: Self-report personality measures and a measure of the negative consequences of alcohol use were given to a sample of 221 college students (109 females) sorted into a control and 4 binge groups based upon their patterns of bingeing and marijuana use. Narrowly defined, non-overlapping measures of impulsivity and sensation seeking were analyzed to assess the association of these personality measures with substance-use patterns and negative consequences of bingeing. Results: Standard bingers did not differ from non-bingeing controls on either impulsivity or sensation seeking, whereas extreme bingers had significantly higher impulsivity and sensation seeking scores than controls and also significantly higher sensation seeking than standard bingers. Exploratory analyses of a broader set of personality scales showed that a disinhibition scale was also significant predictor of substance use group. A number of personality traits significantly predicted substance use patterns as well as specific negative consequences of bingeing. Conclusions: Impulsivity, sensation seeking and disinhibition are significant associates of substance use patterns and the negative consequences of use in college students.

description: Many studies questioned the relationship between psychopathy and moral decision-making. Bartels and Pizarro (2011) found that the participants with higher subclinical psychopathic traits tend to endorse more to the utilitarian proposal. Does it mean that psychopathic patients would care more about the overall benefits of human beings than non-psychopathic people? Absolutely suspicious. Gawronski et al. (2017) developed CNI model to quantify the different mental processes when making moral decisions. The relationship between psychopathy and moral decision-making becomes hot topics and till now there are 4 studies probing into this relationship with CNI model. However, CNI model has its own deficits, which would result in inaccurate conclusions. Liu and Liao (2020) provided a new CAN algorithm to fix the limitations. Thus, we need to reanalyse the rawdata of the previous studies and correct the original conclusions.

description: We consider a lattice of weakly interacting quantum Markov processes. Without interaction, the dynamics at each site is relaxing exponentially to a unique stationary state. With interaction, we show that there remains a unique stationary state in the thermodynamic limit, i.e. absence of phase coexistence, and the relaxation towards it is exponentially fast for local observables. We do not assume that the quantum Markov process is reversible (detailed balance) w.r.t. a local Hamiltonian.

description: There was little evidence about the association between emotional intelligence (EI) and mental health problems among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate this relationship among 1,593 attending-school adolescents in Central Vietnam. Results revealed that depression, anxiety, stress and lifetime suicidal thoughts were high prevalent among students. EI was found as a protective factor to mental health problems among Vietnamese adolescents. This study’s robust data provided reliable evidence about mental health problems among Vietnamese adolescents. They inform strategies to improve mental health of adolescents in Vietnam, addressing EI via prevention and early intervention programs.

description: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes, however this may be most related to the conditions associated with PCOS rather than PCOS per se. Current evidence on pregnancy and birth outcomes is poor and uncertain, mostly due to inclusion of selected populations and inclusion of multiple outcomes of interest with different sort of risk factors and confounders. To address the knowledge gaps in this area, future research should target community-based women with medically diagnosed PCOS status and defined PCOS phenotype and should focus on pathophysiologically related outcomes at each study.

description: This thesis aimed to generate real-world and cost-effectiveness evidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatment to inform health-policy decision makers in Thailand. Three studies were conducted to estimate economic and humanistic burdens of AD, investigate current situation of AD prescriptions and identify which of AD medications provides the best value for money. Findings indicate that AD is a high priority in Thailand because it is associated with huge economic and humanistic burdens and unequal treatment accessibility among patients insured under different heath benefit packages. Donepezil is identified as the most cost-effective AD treatment and worth being considered for universal financial coverage.

description: This essay focuses on the migrant’s labour in particular in the Italian agriculture field’s. The essay began with a brief comparative analysis between the theory of assimilation and the structuralist. Then analyzes the relationship among migrants and the Italian labor market from some statistical data related to their presence in the European and national levels and their occupational distribution. Moreover it analyzes the segmentation of the Italian labor market and its niches occupations characterized by activities generally poorly paid, dangerous and unattractive to local workers. For this reason, these are often occupied by migrants workers who are serving, particularly exploitative working conditions and social segregation, in addition to lower wages than Italian workers. This is particularly evident in agriculture, but also strategic sector with a high rate of illegal labor and exploitation, particularly for migrants, who are segregated in laborers in the long term without informing social growth, equal pay and improvement of their condition, contradicts one of the fundamental assumptions of assimilation. As a case study we will analyze the case of resident Punjabi community in the province of Latina, occupied mainly as agricultural laborers, forced to live in conditions of particular labor exploitation and social segregation on the basis of a criminal system Punjabi-Pontine including international trafficking and exploitation.

description: During a three years investigation in the Research & Development Department of a multinational corporation in Bangalore, I investigated the interplay between processes of knowledge and technology transfer, massive investments in infrastructures, and the modified political and social equilibrium in the receiving local context. The patterns of global expansion drawn by the US-based corporation in India retrace the trajectories of British colonial power. The corporation is described as an actor capable of shaping not only the economic present scenario, but also triggering processes of historical identification and claim. The corporation major transformative actions affect the imaginaries of work, increase salaries and productivity, produce provisional empowerment of local workforce; but they also bring about diffused social resistance and indirectly foster strategies of appropriation. Two examples of “appropriated technology” are described: sustainable and low cost products, designed by the Indian researches in the Bangalore R&D to meet the needs of rural areas and disadvantaged villages, represent the material translation of a local demands into the corporate terms of technology. At the same time, they are presented by the corporation in its world wide campaigns as innovations developed to respond to green requirements and new environmental standards. This ambiguity and intentional misunderstanding constitutes the fabric of the ongoing complex relations between the corporation and the “emerging” contexts of its expansion.

description: Stationary, axially symmetric Brans-Dicke-Maxwell solutions are reexamined in the framework of the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory. We see that, employing a particular parametrization of the standard axially symmetric metric simplifies the procedure of obtaining the Ernst equations for axially symmetric electrovacuum space-times for this theory. This analysis also permits us to construct a two parameter extension in both Jordan and Einstein frames of an old solution generating technique frequently used to construct axially symmetric solutions for BD theory from a seed solution of general relativity. As applications of this technique, several known and new solutions are constructed including a general axially symmetric BD-Maxwell solution of Plebanski-Demianski with vanishing cosmological constant, i.e. the Kinnersley solution and general magnetized Kerr-Newman--type solutions. Some physical properties and the circular motion of test particles for a particular subclass of Kinnersley solution, i.e., a Kerr-Newman-NUT--type solution for BD theory, are also investigated in some detail.

Using an instanton approach we derive the asymptotic behavior of the density of states in d dimensions. The leading corrections resulting from fluctuations around the saddle point solution are obtained by means of the Gel'fand-Yaglom method generalized to functional determinants with zero modes. We find a good agreement with the results of numerical simulations in one dimension. The effect of weak repulsive interactions in the Lifshitz tail is also discussed.

description: Photometric and spectroscopic observations of five nearly parabolic comets with eccentricity larger than 0.99 at heliocentric distances greater than 4 AU were performed. No molecular emission was observed for any studied comet and the entire cometary activity in all cases was attributed to dust production. Upper limits of the gas production rates for the main neutral molecules in the cometary comae were calculated. The derived values of dust apparent magnitudes were used to estimate the upper limit of the geometric cross-section of cometary nuclei (upper limits of radii range from 2 km to 28 km). Due to the poor sublimation of water ice at these distances from the Sun, other mechanisms triggering activity in comets are discussed.

description: Background: College freshman are at-risk for hazardous alcohol drinking and for experiencing alcohol-related negative consequences. This is exacerbated in those featuring an early age of first alcohol use or of first drunkenness. It remains unclear which of these milestones is more strongly associated with alcohol outcomes. Objective: We examined, in Argentinean college drinkers (n = 4088; 43% men; racially and ethnically homogeneous), the association of age at drinking onset and progression to drunkenness (drunkenness naïve [Drunk-Naïve]; No-Delay [same age of first alcohol use and first alcohol intoxication]; one year of delay between age of first alcohol use and first alcohol intoxication; ≥2years of delay) on several alcohol outcomes. Methods: A survey measured substance use, age at drinking and drunkenness onset and alcohol-related consequences. Results: Alcohol consumption per drinking occasion was significantly greater in men than in women. An early drinking onset (alcohol use before age 13) and lifetime drunkenness independently exacerbated alcohol consumption per drinking occasion and during the last year. In men, Early-Onset was associated with a greater number of alcohol-related consequences when the delay between Early-Onset and the first drunkenness episode was 1 or ≥2 years yet did not significantly alter the number of negative consequences in Drunk-naïve or No-delay drinkers. In women, Early-Onset significantly enhanced the number of negative consequences when the delay was two years, but not when the delay was one-year or in Drunk-naïve or No-delay drinkers. Conclusions: The window between the first contact with alcohol and the first episode of drunkenness is a critical period to reduce alcohol-related problems.

description: Interest in back-reshoring strategies has gained momentum recently. However, this phenomenon little is known so far about wage and working conditions. This article focuses on plants in Tuscany of luxury global firms that reverse previous off-shoring by bringing manufacturing back home. Drawing on interviews with workers and privileged informants, the article outlines the deterioration of working conditions through the subcontracting relationships of value chain. The main thesis of this paper is that in order to understand the on-going changes there is a need to shows the structural role of interlacement of capital, intangible assets and labour.

description: Background: Due to the high prevalence of non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD; i.e., use of these drugs without a doctor’s prescription) among college students, it is important to identify psychosocial factors relevant to NMUPD. Prior research shows a link between perceived stress, psychiatric symptoms and NMUPD. Resilience is an essential concept in adaptive coping that emphasizes that resilience protects people against stress. Substantial evidence shows the mediation effect of resilience on the relationship between stress, psychiatric symptoms, and substance use. However, scant literature has examined associations between resilience and NMUPD. Objectives: The current study explored the relationship among perceived stress, psychiatric symptoms, resilience, and NMUPD in college students. Methods: Online data were collected from 1,052 undergraduates (68.7% females) with an average age of 19.8 years in 2016 in Virginia, United States, using anonymous surveys assessing perceived stress, psychiatric symptoms (i.e., depression and social anxiety), resilience (i.e., tenacity, tolerance, acceptance, control, and spirituality), and past-three-month NMUPD (i.e., opioids, sedatives, anxiolytics, and stimulants). Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. Results: Resilience together with psychiatric symptoms completely mediated the effects of perceived stress on NMUPD. Resilience completely mediated the relationship between perceived stress and psychiatric symptoms. The goodness-of-fit indicators suggested a good fit of data (RMSEA = .04; CFI = .97; TLI = .96; WRMR = 1.37). Conclusions: Resilience appears to offer protection that can mitigate the effects of perceived stress and psychiatric symptoms on NMUPD. Future interventions related to NMUPD among college students should attend to resilience.

description: The Adams spectral sequence is available in any triangulated category equipped with a projective or injective class. Higher Toda brackets can also be defined in a triangulated category, as observed by B. Shipley based on J. Cohen's approach for spectra. We provide a family of definitions of higher Toda brackets, show that they are equivalent to Shipley's, and show that they are self-dual. Our main result is that the Adams differential $d_r$ in any Adams spectral sequence can be expressed as an $(r+1)$-fold Toda bracket and as an $r^{\text{th}}$ order cohomology operation. We also show how the result simplifies under a sparseness assumption, discuss several examples, and give an elementary proof of a result of Heller, which implies that the three-fold Toda brackets in principle determine the higher Toda brackets.
