title: PowerPoint Slides for: Recurrent Vascular Access Dysfunction as a Novel Marker of Cardiovascular Outcome and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients

description: <i>Background:</i> Vascular access (VA) is essential for hemodialysis (HD) patients, and its dysfunction is a major complication. However, little is known about outcomes in patients with recurrent VA dysfunction. We explored the influence of recurrent VA dysfunction on cardiovascular (CV) events, death and VA abandonment. <i>Methods:</i>This is a single-center, retrospective study conducted in patients who underwent VA surgery between 2009 and 2014. VA dysfunction was defined as VA stenosis or thrombosis requiring intervention after the first successful cannulation. Patients with ≥2 interventions within 180 days were categorized as having recurrent VA dysfunction. Outcomes were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards model before and after propensity score matching. <i>Results:</i> Of 766 patients (ages 59.6 ± 14.3 years, 59.7% male), 10.1% were in the recurrent VA dysfunction group. Most baseline parameters after matching were similar between the recurrent and non-recurrent groups. A total of 213 propensity score-matched patients were followed for 28.7 ± 15.8 months, during which 46 (21.6%), 30 (14.1%) and 14 (6.6%) patients had de novo CV outcomes, died and abandoned VA, respectively. Recurrent VA dysfunction after adjustment remained an independent risk factor for CV events (adjusted hazards ratio (aHR), 2.71; 95% CI 1.48-4.98; p = 0.001). Moreover, recurrent VA dysfunction predicted composite all-cause mortality (ACM)/CV events (aHR 1.99; 95% CI 1.21-3.28; p = 0.007). <i>Conclusions:</i> Recurrent VA dysfunction was a novel independent risk factor for CV and composite ACM/CV events in HD patients, but not for VA abandonment. Patients with recurrent vascular dysfunction should be carefully monitored not only for VA patency but also for CV events.

title: Provenance, age constraints and metamorphism of Ediacaran metasedimentary rocks from the El Triunfo Complex (SE Chiapas, México): evidence for Rodinia breakup and Iapetus active margin

description: Metasedimentary rocks from the El Triunfo Complex (Jocote Unit) in the southern Chiapas Massif (SE México) are constituted mainly by sillimanite-rich micaschist, locally intercalated with marble and calc-silicate rocks. Mafic rocks (now amphibolite) intruded the sequence prior to deformation and folding. Peak metamorphic conditions are estimated by geothermobaromerty at ~6.0 kbar and ~650ºC. The timing of the metamorphic event is dated by LA-MC-ICPMS analysis on zircon rims at 438<sup>+23</sup>/<sub>–12</sub> Ma. Furthermore, detrital zircon grains yield mainly Stenian–Tonian and minor early Mesoproterozoic ages, indicating provenance from Grenville-type orogens (such as Oaxaquia) and some older cratonic sources. The <sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr values of 0.70775–0.70777 and the δ<sup>13</sup>C values from +1.9‰ to +2.7‰ in associated calcite marble define the time of deposition between 600 and 580 Ma. Geochemical markers from metapelite samples (such as La/Th &gt; 3.94, La/Sc &gt; 3.72, Th/U &gt; 8.19, Th/Co &gt; 0.42 and CIA = 74 to 83), as well as Sm–Nd isotope data (<i>ε</i>Nd<sub><i>i</i></sub> = −8.1 to −4.0, TDM<sub>(Nd)</sub> = 1.65–1.32 Ga) suggest weathering of Mesoproterozoic felsic rocks during temperate to warm climate.

title: Neoproterozoic crustal growth at the margin of the East Gondwana continent – age and isotopic constraints from the easternmost inliers of Oman

description: The Jebel Ja’alan and Qalhat inliers of Oman represent the easternmost exposures in the Arabian peninsula of the Neoproterozoic basement associated with the East African Orogen (EAO) and the assembly of East and West Gondwana. These inliers expose tonalitic gneisses and metasediments intruded by granodiorites and granites of the Ja’alan batholith. Zircons from the gneisses yield U–Pb SIMS ages of ca. 900–880 Ma, which are interpreted as crystallization ages. These represent the oldest magmatic events associated with the closure of the Mozambique Ocean reported to date. Zircon of this age is also the dominant component in the metasediments. The Ja’alan batholith yields ages of ca. 840–825 Ma. Nd isotopes indicate that both the gneisses and the batholith range from juvenile to slightly more evolved, with <i>ε</i><sub>Nd</sub>(<i>t</i>) of +6 to +1.5 interpreted to reflect variable contamination by older, evolved continental material; this is also indicated by &gt;900 Ma detrital zircon from the metasediments. The Nd data also contrast with the uniformly juvenile signature of younger, ca. 840 Ma, rocks of the Marbat region of southern Oman that lie structurally to the west. The Ja’alan and Qalhat inliers thus document eastward increasing age and continental influence, consistent with the progressive development of arc rocks onto the western margin of East Gondwana, although the location and nature of the eastern continental block remain elusive.

title: Supplementary Material for: Association Study and Meta-Analysis of Polymorphisms, Methylation Profiles, and Peripheral mRNA Expression of the Serotonin Transporter Gene in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease

description: <i>Background/Aim:</i> The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the serotonin transporter gene <i>(SLC6A4)</i>. <i>Methods:</i> AD subjects (n = 43) and controls (n = 47) were recruited and evaluated. In leukocytes, we evaluated two polymorphisms in <i>SLC6A4,</i> the serotonin transporter length polymorphic region (5-HTT-LPR) and rs25531, as well as methylation rates of the<i>SLC6A4</i> promoter region and the<i> SLC6A4</i> mRNA expression level. We also performed a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between the frequency of the L allele and the risk of AD. <i>Results:</i> The distributions of 5-HTT-LPR and rs25531 polymorphisms in AD subjects were not different from those of controls. Although the methylation rates in AD subjects were not significantly different from those of controls, the expression level in AD subjects was significantly higher than in controls. Additionally, the expression level in AD subjects was significantly correlated with apathy. Meta-analysis revealed that the L/L genotype significantly reduced the risk of AD, but only in the Caucasian population. <i>Conclusion:</i> Higher <i>SLC6A4</i> mRNA expression in leukocytes in AD was associated with apathy regardless of <i>SLC6A4</i> genotypes and methylation rates of the promoter region. The L/L genotype may reduce the risk of AD in the Caucasian population.

title: Mojave National Preserve 2013 insect diversity derived estimates

description: The derived data for this publication:Ruttan, A., Filazzola, A. and Lortie, C. J. (2016) Shrub-annual facilitation complexes mediate insect community structure in arid environments. Journal of Arid Environments 134: 1-9.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140196316301100<br> The Relative Interaction Index (RII) ± SE was calculated for the abundance, richness, and Simpson’s diversity of the insects collected within each pan trap colour, in order to estimate the ecological significance/importance of shrubs to the insect community. RII is the weighted difference in response with and without the shrub species present in this sampling design.Full details of effect size calculations listed in publication. Insect samples were collected at Kelso dunes over a nine-day period between April 24th and May 2nd, 2013. Insects were sampled daily using pan traps (approximately 18 cm in diameter) set at ground-level along an east-west axis parallel to Kelso Dunes. Thirty pairs of pan traps were set along two parallel 45 m transects (transects were 10 m apart) with alternating blue, yellow, and white traps approximately every 3 m using the NSERC-CANPOLIN protocol (http://www.uoguelph.ca/canpolin). Pan traps were paired so that each replicate had one pan trap under the southern portion of a L. tridentata canopy, halfway between the base of the shrub and the drip-line, and within a patch of annual plants. The other pan traps were deployed 2 m south of each paired shrub in an adjacent open microsite, also with annual plants present (see Appendix A; Fig. A2). Open microsites were located two metres from the drip-line of shrubs because this was on average the maximum distance possible without being within a two metre radius of another shrub (Ruttan pers. obs). Pan traps were half-filled with a solution of soapy water prepared by mixing five drops of unscented dish detergent per litre of water (for protocol, see: http://www.uoguelph.ca/canpolin). Pan traps were set out by 9:00 a.m. and collected at 5:00 p.m. daily targeting typical peak insect activity (http://www.uoguelph.ca/canpolin). All samples were collected on sunny days with no precipitation. Samples were collected from each pan trap replicate and stored in vials of 70% ethanol. Insects were then sorted from samples and identified to the family level for ease of identification using Goulet and Huber (1993) and Borror et al. (1989).
