title: Hospitalizations in pediatric patients with immune thrombocytopenia in the United States

description: To examine utilization and outcomes in pediatric immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) hospitalizations, we used ICD-9 code 287.31 to identify hospitalizations in patients with ITP in the 2009 HCUP KID, an all-payer sample of pediatric hospitalizations from US community hospitals. Diagnosis and procedure codes were used to estimate rates of ITP-related procedures, comorbidity prevalence, costs, length of stay (LOS), and mortality. In 2009, there were an estimated 4499 hospitalizations in children aged 6 months–17 years with ITP; 43% in children aged 1–5 years; and 47% with emergency department encounters. The mean hospitalization cost was $5398, mean LOS 2.0 days, with 0.3% mortality (<i>n</i> = 13). With any bleeding (15.2%, including gastrointestinal 2.0%, hematuria 1.3%, intracranial hemorrhage [ICH] 0.6%), mean hospitalization cost was $7215, LOS 2.5 days, with 1.5% mortality. For ICH (0.6%, <i>n</i> = 27), mean cost was $40 209, LOS 8.5 days, with 21% mortality. With infections (14%, including upper respiratory 5.2%, viral 4.9%, bacterial 1.9%), the mean cost was $6928, LOS 2.9 days, with 0.9% mortality. Septic shock was reported in 0.3% of discharges. Utilization included immunoglobulin administration (37%) and splenectomies (2.3%). Factors associated with higher costs included age &gt;6 years, ICH, hematuria, transfusion, splenectomy, and bone marrow diagnostics (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). In conclusion, of the 4499 hospitalizations with ITP, mortality rates of 1.5%, 21%, and 0.9% were seen with any bleeding, ICH, and infection, respectively. Higher costs were associated with clinically significant bleeding and procedures. Future analyses may reveal effects of the implementation of more recent ITP guidelines and use of additional treatments.

title: Prognostic implications of mean platelet volume on short- and long-term outcomes among patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention: A single-center large observational study

description: <b>Background</b>: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size that correlates with platelet activation and their ability to aggregate. We studied the predictive value of MPV in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). <b>Methods</b>: We analyzed the consecutive records of 1001 patients who were hospitalized due to NSTEMI at our center. The primary end point was a composite end point that included the rates of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) driven revascularization at 12 months. The enrolled patients were stratified according to the quartile of the MPV level at admission. <b>Results</b>: Along with the increasing quartile of MPV, the 12-month composite end point increased significantly (<i>p</i> = 0.010), and this association remained significant after the risk-adjusted analyses (per 1 fL higher MPV; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–1.27; <i>p</i> = 0.026). In the multivariate analysis, the MPV was also an independent factor of all-cause mortality (per 1 fL increase; adjusted HR 1.34; 95% CI 1.12–1.61; <i>p</i> = 0.0014) and death or non-fatal myocardial infarction (per 1 fL increase; adjusted HR 1.16; 95% CI 1.03–1.31; <i>p</i> = 0.017). <b>Conclusion</b>: In patients with NSTEMI treated with PCI, a high MPV value was associated with a significantly increased incidence of long-term adverse events, particularly for all-cause mortality.

title: Proteome analysis of <i>Pueraria mirifica</i> tubers collected in different seasons

description: <i>Pueraria mirifica</i>-derived tuberous powder has been long-term consumed in Thailand as female hormone-replacement traditional remedies. The protein profiles of tubers collected in different seasons were evaluated. Phenol extraction, 2D-PAGE, and mass spectrometry were employed for tuberous proteome analysis. Out of the 322 proteins detected, over 59% were functionally classified as being involved in metabolism. The rest proteins were involved in defense, protein synthesis, cell structure, transportation, stress, storage, and also unidentified function. The proteins were found to be differentially expressed with respect to harvest season. Importantly, chalcone isomerase, isoflavone synthase, cytochrome p450, UDP-glycosyltransferase, and isoflavone reductase, which are all involved in the biosynthesis pathway of bioactive isoflavonoids, were most abundantly expressed in the summer-collected tubers. This is the first report on the proteomic patterns in <i>P. mirifica</i> tubers in relevant with seasonal variation. The study enlights the understanding of variance isoflavonoid production in <i>P. mirifica</i> tubers. Proteome analysis of <i>Pueraria mirifica</i> tubers in different seasons.

title: Datasets for tank colour preference and tank aggression displayed by coho salmon kept in closed containment aquaculture systems

description: 100 coho salmon were randomly assigned to groups of 10 and housed in 10 different recirculating aquaculture tanks (tank 1-10). The interior sides and base of each of the experimental tanks were lined with laminated paper varying in pigmentation. Each tank was split into two to provide fish a choice of background colour. Preference tests were conducted between (a) black versus white, light grey, dark grey and patterned tank backgrounds and (b) blue versus white, light grey, dark grey, and black tank backgrounds. The positions of the fish in each tank were video recorded from above. The fish in each tank were recorded for a total of 10 min. Videos were scored at 30-s intervals to determine the number of fish on each side of the tank. Videos were scored continuously for aggressive acts throughout each 10-min trial. Datasets are provided for the black-trial preference tests (number of fish located on the black sides of the tanks for each comparison colour), blue-trial preference tests (number of fish located on the blue sides of the tanks for each comparison colour), and tank aggression (number of aggressive acts occurring on each side of the tanks).

title: Mitochondrial DNA variation in the Sindh population of Pakistan

description: The present study was undertaken to investigate the control region of mitochondrial DNA for forensic discrimination and to explore the ethno-linguistic affiliations among ethnic groups of Sindh province, Pakistan. A total of 115 individuals, from six major ethnic/isonym groups, namely<i>,</i> Bijarani, Chandio, Ghallu, Khoso, Nasrani and Solangi, have been studied. We identified 88 haplotypes, defined by the particular set of nucleotides; of these, 70 haplotypes were unique in the investigated population. In addition, 82% sequences were observed once, 12% twice and 5.2% thrice. The most common South Asian haplogroup in six ethnic groups of Sindh, are; M (42%) and R (6.9%), whereas West Eurasian haplogroups were N (6.9%), W (6.9%), J (1.7%), U (23.4%), H (9.5%) and T (0.86%). A random match probability between two unrelated individuals was found to be 0.06%, while genetic diversity varied from 0.991 to 0.998. The high nucleotide diversity and the low random match probability of the mtDNA control region make it a beneficial tool for forensic discrimination as well as useful to the evolutionary biologist. This work is an important contribution towards establishing a National Mitochondrial DNA Database in Pakistan. Currently, the Human Genetic department at the University of Health Sciences Lahore has the depository.

title: Participation in a city food security program may be linked to higher ant alpha- and beta-diversity: an exploratory case from Belo Horizonte, Brazil

description: This article reports the results of a case study examining the connections between municipal food security policy and biodiversity in the region of Belo Horizonte, a populous city in the heavily fragmented Brazilian cerrado (savannah)/Atlantic forest transition region. Belo Horizonte, through its Secretariat of Food and Nutrition Security (SMASAN), has generated increased food security in the city, in part by economically supporting local small farmers. Farmers’ economic security has been previously linked to their agricultural practices and sustainability; thus, SMASAN’s programs potentially affect biodiversity in the region’s agricultural matrix and rainforest fragments through their work with farmers. In order to examine this dynamic, we compared ground-foraging ant diversity on four SMASAN and three non-SMASAN farms and adjoining forest fragments. Supported by data from farmer interviews, sampling in 2005 and 2006 indicated SMASAN farms had: a) higher alpha and beta diversity and b) potentially greater overlap between species found on-farm and in adjacent forest fragments. This case study may be the first directly linking biodiversity conservation with food security and changes in local food policy institutions, emphasizing the importance of an approach integrating politics and ecology, and the potential for human wellbeing and conservation to go hand-in-hand.

title: Participation in a City Food Security Program May Be Linked to Higher Ant Α- and Β-Diversity: an Exploratory Case from Belo Horizonte, Brazil

description: This paper reports the results of a case study examining the connections between municipal food security policy and biodiversity in the region of Belo Horizonte, a populous city in the heavily fragmented Brazilian <i>cerrado</i> (savannah)/Atlantic forest transition region. Belo Horizonte, through its Secretariat of Food and Nutrition Security (SMASAN), has generated increased food security in the city, in part by economically supporting local small farmers. Farmers’ economic security has been previously linked to their agricultural practices and sustainability; thus SMASAN’s programs potentially affect biodiversity in the region’s agricultural matrix and rainforest fragments through their work with farmers. In order to examine this dynamic, we compared ground-foraging ant diversity on four “SMASAN” and three “non-SMASAN” farms and adjoining forest fragments. Supported by data from farmer interviews, sampling in 2005 and 2006 indicated SMASAN farms had: (a) higher alpha and beta diversity; and (b) potentially greater overlap between species found on-farm and in adjacent forest fragments. This case study may be the first directly linking biodiversity conservation with food security and changes in local food policy institutions, emphasizing the importance of an approach integrating politics and ecology, and the potential for human well-being and conservation to go hand-in-hand.

title: New Rhinocerotidae from the Kisingiri localities (lower Miocene of western Kenya)

description: We describe new material of Rhinocerotidae recently collected in western Kenya. A skull from Karungu is one of the best-preserved Miocene skulls in Africa. It differs substantially from that of <i>Rusingaceros leakeyi</i>, the only other relatively well-known rhino from this region and age, in its degree of brachycephaly, possession of a deep nasal notch, and long nasal bones that probably carried a horn of moderate size. Miocene African rhinos are still too poorly known to resolve their phylogenetic relationships, but we tentatively assign this skull to a new species of <i>Victoriaceros</i>, a genus whose type species comes from the younger site of Maboko, although the Karungu skull has a much smaller nasal horn. A parsimony analysis resolves them as sister species within the Elasmotheriini, close to the other African genera <i>Turkanatherium</i> and <i>Chilotheridium</i>, but we consider this result debatable, as <i>Victoriaceros</i> differs considerably from them. Still, they might all be descended from European forms. A partial skull from Gumba is assigned to the Aceratheriini, making it one of the earliest representatives of this group and suggesting that the origin of this tribe could be African. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2B1E8135-CCD4-43EB-826B-6DF7176DC74E SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP Citation for this article: Geraads, D., T.
