Proinflammatory responses to lipo-oligosaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis immunotype strains in relation to virulence and disease.

Efficient therapies to treat the inflammatory component of the disease have not been established. The discovery of specialized inflammation-resolving mediators, such as resolvins may provide new opportunities for treatment. This study examines whether the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid-derived resolvin E1 (RvE1), can reduce atherosclerosis, when administered alone or in combination with a cholesterol-lowering statin. METHODS: ApoE*3Leiden mice were fed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 9 weeks and subsequently treated with RvE1-low (1 mg/kg/day), RvE1-high (5 mg/kg/day), atorvastatin (1.5 mg/kg/day) or the combination of atorvastatin and RvE1-low for the following 16 weeks. RESULTS: RvE1-low and RvE1-high reduced atherosclerotic lesion size to the same extent (-35%; p < 0.05), attenuated the formation of severe lesions, also seen as a proportional increase in the presence of mild lesions, but did not alter plasma cholesterol levels. Cholesterol-lowering atorvastatin reduced atherosclerosis (-27%, p < 0.05), and the combination of RvE1 and atorvastatin further attenuated lesion size (-51%, p < 0.01) and increased the content of mild lesions. RvE1 did not affect plasma SAA, E-selectin, VCAM-1 or MCP-1 but did reduce plasma EPHX4 and down-regulated the local expression of pro-atherogenic genes in the aortae, (e.g. Cd74, Cd44, Ccl2, Ccr5 and Adam17) and significantly inactivated IFN-gamma (p < 0.001) and TNF-alpha (p < 0.001) signalling pathways. CONCLUSIONS: RvE1 attenuates atherogenesis both alone and on top of a statin. The local effects of RvE1 are demonstrated by the modulated aortic expression of genes involved in inflammatory and immune responses, without altering plasma cholesterol or circulating SAA." ], "offsets": [ [ 110, 1961 ] ] } ]

Resolvin E1 attenuates atherosclerosis in absence of cholesterol-lowering effects and on top of atorvastatin. BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Besides LDL-cholesterol, local vascular inflammation plays a key role in atherogenesis. Efficient therapies to treat the inflammatory component of the disease have not been established. The discovery of specialized inflammation-resolving mediators, such as resolvins may provide new opportunities for treatment. This study examines whether the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid-derived resolvin E1 (RvE1), can reduce atherosclerosis, when administered alone or in combination with a cholesterol-lowering statin. METHODS: ApoE*3Leiden mice were fed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 9 weeks and subsequently treated with RvE1-low (1 mg/kg/day), RvE1-high (5 mg/kg/day), atorvastatin (1.5 mg/kg/day) or the combination of atorvastatin and RvE1-low for the following 16 weeks. RESULTS: RvE1-low and RvE1-high reduced atherosclerotic lesion size to the same extent (-35%; p < 0.05), attenuated the formation of severe lesions, also seen as a proportional increase in the presence of mild lesions, but did not alter plasma cholesterol levels. Cholesterol-lowering atorvastatin reduced atherosclerosis (-27%, p < 0.05), and the combination of RvE1 and atorvastatin further attenuated lesion size (-51%, p < 0.01) and increased the content of mild lesions. RvE1 did not affect plasma SAA, E-selectin, VCAM-1 or MCP-1 but did reduce plasma EPHX4 and down-regulated the local expression of pro-atherogenic genes in the aortae, (e.g. Cd74, Cd44, Ccl2, Ccr5 and Adam17) and significantly inactivated IFN-gamma (p < 0.001) and TNF-alpha (p < 0.001) signalling pathways. CONCLUSIONS: RvE1 attenuates atherogenesis both alone and on top of a statin. The local effects of RvE1 are demonstrated by the modulated aortic expression of genes involved in inflammatory and immune responses, without altering plasma cholesterol or circulating SAA.

We propose the following hypothesis: the rigor crossbridges, after binding ATP, initially enter a state characterized by high Q with low I and none or little F, and then, releasing Pi during passing the state with the increased I, reach the final force generating state.

Influence of an anaesthetist on nurse-led, computer-based, pre-operative assessment. Trained nurses using a rule-based computer program can successfully carry out pre-anaesthesia screening. All medical problems and abnormal laboratory results need to be reviewed by an experienced anaesthetist. Following the introduction of this system, there was a reduction in the frequency of cancellations of patients from elective orthopaedic operating lists from 4.8% to 1.8%, a difference that was statistically significant (p = 0.03, CI = [0.6%, 5.5%]). To minimise cancellations from booked operating lists, a booked admissions policy is essential, so that the anaesthetist who will eventually be responsible for patients with medical problems can be identified. Cancellations cannot be avoided completely because some abnormal conditions arise or deteriorate after completion of the screening process. The anaesthetist responsible for the patient's anaesthetic may have different views of the risks involved from those of the anaesthetist undertaking the screening process.

Mode of endosperm and wholemeal arabinoxylans solubilisation during rye breadmaking: genotypic diversity in the level, substitution degree and macromolecular characteristics. Insight into solubilisation mechanisms of rye arabinoxylans during breadmaking is important for understanding the biochemical processes that affect bread attributes.

Maternal dietary conjugated linoleic acid alters hepatic triacylglycerol and tissue fatty acids in hatched chicks. The effects of feeding CLA to hens on newly hatched chick hepatic and carcass lipid content, liver TAG accumulation, and FA incorporation in chick tissues such as liver, heart, brain, and adipose were studied. These tissues were selected owing to their respective roles in lipid assimilation (liver), as a major oxidation site (heart), as a site enriched with long-chain polyunsaturates for function (brain), and as a storage depot (adipose). Eggs with no, low, or high levels of CLA were produced by feeding hens a corn-soybean meal-basal diet containing 3% (w/w) corn oil (Control), 2.5% corn oil + 0.5% CLA oil (CLA1), or 2% corn oil + 1.0% CLA oil (CLA2). The egg yolk content of total CLA was 0.0, 1.0, and 2.6% for Control, CLA1, and CLA2, respectively (P< 0.05). Maternal dietary CLA resulted in a decrease in chick carcass total fat (P < 0.05). Liver tissue of CLA2 chicks had the lowest fat content (P < 0.05). The liver TAG content was 8.2, 5.8, and 5.1 mg/g for Control, CLA1, and CLA2 chicks, respectively(P < 0.05). The chicks hatched from CLA1 and CLA2 incorporated higher levels of cis-9,trans-11 CLA in the liver, plasma, adipose, and brain than Control (P< 0.05). The content of 18:0 was higher in the liver, plasma, adipose, and brain of CLA1 and CLA2 than Control (P< 0.05), but no difference was observed in the 18:0 content of heart tissue. A significant reduction in 18:1 was observed in the liver, plasma, adipose, heart, and brain of CLA1 and CLA2 chicks (P< 0.05). DHA (22:6n-3) was reduced in the heart and brain of CLA1 and CLA2 chicks (P < 0.05). No difference was observed in carcass weight, dry matter, or ash content of chicks (P> 0.05). The hatchabilities of fertile eggs were 78, 34, and 38% for Control, CLA1, and CLA2, respectively (P< 0.05). The early dead chicks were higher in CLA1 and CLA2 than Control (18 and 32% compared with 9% for Control), and alive but not hatched chicks were 15 and 19% for CLAl and CLA2, compared with 8% for Control (P < 0.05).

This review proposes that elevation of intracellular cAMP is a prominent mechanism which enhances IgE production. Enhancement is mediated by two mechanisms. First, cAMP-elevating agents directly target B lymphocytes, promoting recombination of the Ig heavy chain loci. Second, these agents indirectly promote IgE production by inducing a T-helper type 2 (Th2) profile of cytokine secretion. In turn, Th2-type cytokines interact with B lymphocytes and direct isotype switching to the epsilon locus. One type of cAMP-elevating agents, the beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists (beta2-agonists), are used to treat asthma.

Regulation of IgE and cytokine production by cAMP: implications for extrinsic asthma. Recent investigations indicate that pharmacologic agents which elevate intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) also enhance immunoglobulin E (IgE) production. This review proposes that elevation of intracellular cAMP is a prominent mechanism which enhances IgE production. Enhancement is mediated by two mechanisms. First, cAMP-elevating agents directly target B lymphocytes, promoting recombination of the Ig heavy chain loci. Second, these agents indirectly promote IgE production by inducing a T-helper type 2 (Th2) profile of cytokine secretion. In turn, Th2-type cytokines interact with B lymphocytes and direct isotype switching to the epsilon locus. One type of cAMP-elevating agents, the beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists (beta2-agonists), are used to treat asthma. A number of detrimental phenomena have been associated with beta2-agonist use such as, rebound hyperresponsiveness and increases in asthma mortality. This review theorizes that beta2-agonists enhance IgE and Th2 cytokine production and that these mediators exacerbate extrinsic, IgE-dependent asthma.

The majority of these neurons exhibit a prominent transient potassium current (IA) that shapes firing but the properties of which have not been examined in detail. Although IA has been reported to be blocked by intracellular cesium, the IA in LDT neurons appeared resistant to intracellular cesium. The present study compared the properties of this cesium-resistant current to those typically ascribed to IA. Whole cell recordings were obtained from LDT neurons (n = 67) in brain slices with potassium- or cesium-containing pipette solutions. A transient current was observed in cells dialyzed with each solution (KGluc-85%; CsGluc-79%). However, in cesium-dialyzed neurons, the transient current was inward at test potentials negative to about -35 mV. Extracellular 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 2-5 mM) blocked both inward and outward current, suggesting the inward current was reversed IA rather than an unmasked transient calcium current as previously suggested. This conclusion was supported by increasing [K]o from 5 to 15 mM, which shifted the reversal potential positively for both inward and outward current (+17.89 +/- 0.41 mV; mean +/- SE). Moreover, recovery from inactivation was rapid (tau = 15.5 +/- 4 ms; n = 4), as reported for IA, and both inward and outward transient current persisted in calcium-free solution [0 calcium/4 mM ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N', N'-tetraacetic acid; n = 4] and during cadmium-blockade of calcium currents (n = 3). Finally, the transient current was blocked by intracellular 4-AP indicating that adequate dialysis occurred during the recordings. Thus the Cs-resistant current is a subthreshold IA. We also estimated the voltage-dependence of activation (V1/2 = -45.8 +/- 2 mV, k = 5.21 +/- 0.62 mV, n = 6) and inactivation (V1/2 = -59. 0 +/- 2.38 mV, k = -5.4 +/- 0.49 mV, n = 3) of this current. Computer simulations using a morphologically accurate model cell indicated that except for the extreme case of only distal A-channels and a high intracellular resistivity, our parameter estimates were good approximations. In conclusion, guinea pig LDT neurons express subthreshold A-channels that are resistant to intracellular cesium ions. This suggests that these channels differ fundamentally in their ion permeation mechanism from those previously studied.

Beta-blockade and plasma lipids. Several studies show that many selective and non-selective beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs and beta-blockers with weak intrinsic sympathomimetic activity increase serum total cholesterol and triglyceride and decrease HDL-cholesterol and free fatty acid concentrations. The concentrations of serum free fatty acids and triglycerides remained about constant during twelve months treatment of hypertensive patients with pindolol. The level of HDL-cholesterol was increased after the first month of treatment, but there were no significant differences between the concentrations of HDL-cholesterol before the treatment and after three, six and twelve months of treatment. The ratio of HDL-cholesterol to total cholesterol increased from 0.18 to 0.20 during treatment, and this increase was statistically significant at six month. The concentration of apolipoprotein A-I and the ratio of A-I to apoprotein A-II increased slightly but not significantly during pindolol treatment. Lecithin cholesterol acyl-transferase activity was significantly higher during pindolol treatment than after three weeks break of treatment. Comparing the results of the study of pindolol with previous reports of other beta-blockers pindolol might have fewer untoward effects on lipid metabolism than beta-blockers without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.

The samples were collected with a high volume cascade impactor (HVCI) in 7-week sampling campaigns of selected seasons in six European cities. Mouse macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) were exposed to the samples for 24 h. The production of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokines (TNFalpha, IL-6), and cytotoxicity (MTT-test, apoptosis, cell cycle) were measured. The inflammatory and cytotoxic responses in both size ranges were mostly associated with the insoluble particulate fractions. However, both the water- and organic-solvent-soluble particulate fractions induced TNFalpha production and apoptosis and had some other cytotoxic effects. Soil-derived water-soluble and -insoluble components of the chemical PM(2.5-0.2) mass closure had consistent positive correlations with the responses, while the correlations were negative with the secondary inorganic anions (NO(3)(-), NH(4)(+), non-sea-salt SO(4)(2-)) and particulate organic matter (POM). With the PM(10-2.5) samples, sea salt and soluble soil components correlated positively with the induced toxic responses.

Effects of solubility of urban air fine and coarse particles on cytotoxic and inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. We investigated the inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of the water-soluble and -insoluble as well as organic-solvent-soluble and -insoluble fractions of urban air fine (PM(2.5-0.2)) and coarse (PM(10-2.5)) particulate samples. The samples were collected with a high volume cascade impactor (HVCI) in 7-week sampling campaigns of selected seasons in six European cities. Mouse macrophage cells (RAW 264.7) were exposed to the samples for 24 h. The production of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokines (TNFalpha, IL-6), and cytotoxicity (MTT-test, apoptosis, cell cycle) were measured. The inflammatory and cytotoxic responses in both size ranges were mostly associated with the insoluble particulate fractions. However, both the water- and organic-solvent-soluble particulate fractions induced TNFalpha production and apoptosis and had some other cytotoxic effects. Soil-derived water-soluble and -insoluble components of the chemical PM(2.5-0.2) mass closure had consistent positive correlations with the responses, while the correlations were negative with the secondary inorganic anions (NO(3)(-), NH(4)(+), non-sea-salt SO(4)(2-)) and particulate organic matter (POM). With the PM(10-2.5) samples, sea salt and soluble soil components correlated positively with the induced toxic responses. In this size range, a possible underestimation of the insoluble, soil-related compounds containing Si and Ca, and biological components of POM, increased uncertainties in the evaluation of associations of the mass closure components with the responses. It is concluded that insoluble components of the complex urban air particulate mixture exert the highest inflammatory and cytotoxic activities in the macrophage cell line but, at the same time, they may operate as carriers for active water- and lipid-soluble components.

All patients with other pathologies than a ureter stone, ureteral stents on both sides or other therapy than a secondary URS were excluded. Readmitted patients were interviewed using the USSQ.

No significant differences in age, gender or position of the stones before URS were found (all p > 0.5). Comparing scores of USSQ between F4.7 and F6 or F6 and F7, scores were in favour of the smaller stent, but significance was only reached in \"Work performance score\" (F6-F7, p = 0.04) and \"Urinary index score\" (F4.7-F6, p = 0.004).

Size does matter: ureteral stents with a smaller diameter show advantages regarding urinary symptoms, pain levels and general health. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of different diameters of ureteral stents (F4.7, F6, and F7) on quality of life regarding the subdomains of the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients undergoing URS between April 2016 and July 2017 were prospectively randomised for ureteral stents F4.7, F6 and F7, respectively. All patients with other pathologies than a ureter stone, ureteral stents on both sides or other therapy than a secondary URS were excluded. Readmitted patients were interviewed using the USSQ. Furthermore, success rates of the second URS were also noted. RESULTS: Between April 2016 to July 2017, 181 patients were included, 48 with a ureteral stent F4.6, 66 with F6 and 67 with F7. No significant differences in age, gender or position of the stones before URS were found (all p > 0.5). Comparing scores of USSQ between F4.7 and F6 or F6 and F7, scores were in favour of the smaller stent, but significance was only reached in "Work performance score" (F6-F7, p = 0.04) and "Urinary index score" (F4.7-F6, p = 0.004). When comparing F4.7 with F7, significant differences in all subgroups in favour of F4.7 were documented (all p < 0.03). Surgical success of the second URS was comparable in all groups (all above 82%, p > 0.15). CONCLUSION: Discomfort and pain increase with the diameter of the indwelling ureter stent, while the success of the following URS is not compromised by a ureter stent with a smaller diameter. Therefore, ureteral stents with a small diameter should be preferred.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, a siderophore-binding eukaryotic protein. NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) also known as lcn2 or siderochalin is constitutively expressed in myelocytes and stored in specific granules of neutrophils. It is highly induced in a variety of epithelial cells during inflammation. Analysis of the crystal structure of NGAL expressed in E.coli showed that NGAL has the ability to bind catecholate type siderophores and in this way prevent bacteria from acquisition of siderophore-bound iron. NGAL (or 24p3 as the highly homologous murine orthologue is named) knock out mice have a profound defect in defense against E.coli after intraperitoneal injection. This defect can be mimicked in wild-type mice by providing siderophore iron, which cannot be sequestered by NGAL, testifying to the specific role of NGAL as a siderophore binding protein in innate immunity. Megalin, a scavenger receptor functions as a receptor for NGAL and mediates uptake into endosomes, but other NGAL receptors are likely to exist.

Blood samples were drawn at three time points, namely, within one week prior to first dose of vaccination, prior to second dose of vaccination (28-33 days after the first dose of vaccination), and 90-95 days after the second dose of vaccination for detecting neutralizing antibodies, i.e., IgG antibodies by ELISA. The overall baseline seropositivity among the HCWs was found to be 28% (n = 42), assessed by the sample collected prior to first dose of COVID-19 vaccination. The seroconversion rate was reported to be 80% (n = 120) one month after the first dosage and increased to 92.7% (n = 139) three months later. Additionally, there was a significant gradual increase in the IgG concentrations postvaccination in majority of the study participants. In those HCWs who had prior history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, significantly higher antibody level was observed compared to antibody-naive individuals. Fever, pain or swelling at the site of injection, and headache were the most frequently reported adverse events following vaccination among the study participants. Regardless of prior SARS-CoV-2 positivity, two doses of the CovishieldTM vaccine elicited a protective neutralizing antibody response that lasted for three months after the second dose of vaccination.

Spatiotemporal structure of cell fate decisions in murine neural crest. Neural crest cells are embryonic progenitors that generate numerous cell types in vertebrates. With single-cell analysis, we show that mouse trunk neural crest cells become biased toward neuronal lineages when they delaminate from the neural tube, whereas cranial neural crest cells acquire ectomesenchyme potential dependent on activation of the transcription factor Twist1. The choices that neural crest cells make to become sensory, glial, autonomic, or mesenchymal cells can be formalized as a series of sequential binary decisions.

Many urinary tract bacteria are capable of expressing drug resistance. Resistant bacteria may be present from the commencement of the infection or may develop during treatment. This study focused on the problem of antibiotic resistance to the first-line drugs that were used to treat patients presenting with urinary tract infections at Rubaga hospital in Kampala, Uganda. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to isolate and identify the major bacterial pathogens of symptomatic and asymptomatic UTIs among patients at Rubaga hospital. Furthermore, the study sought to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the major bacterial isolates to the first-line drugs used to treat UTIs at Rubaga hospital. METHODS: Urine samples were aseptically collected and examined microscopically and were microbiologically cultured on blood agar, nutrient agar and on MacConkey agar. The isolates obtained were then identified using standard tests and tested for antimicrobial sensitivity by the Kirby-Bauer technique. RESULTS: The isolated pathogens included Escherichia coli (10.9%), Staphylococcus (31.9%), Streptococcus (9.2%), Klebsiella species (21.0%) and Proteus species (10.1%). 20 (16.8%) of the isolates were lactose fermenting gram-negative rods that were also indole-negative. These isolates were termed 'unclassified coliforms' in this study but were probably Enterobacter species. On antimicrobial susceptibility testing, all the gram-negative isolates were significantly resistant to amoxycillin, cotrimoxazole, erythromycin, and to nalidixic acid; but were susceptible to nitrofurantoin. Among the gram-negative isolates, only Klebsiella species were significantly resistant (p<0.05) to ciprofloxacin. The gram-positive cocci were susceptible to amoxycillin, ciprofloxacin, and to erythromycin but resistant to cotrimoxazole and nalidixic acid. Unlike the Staphylococcus species that were significantly resistant to nitrofurantoin, Streptococcus species were moderately susceptible to the drug. CONCLUSION: The common urinary tract bacteria detected in Rubaga hospital in Uganda were most sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Nitrofurantoin." ], "offsets": [ [ 174, 2420 ] ] } ]

The sensitivities to first-line antibiotic therapy of the common urinary tract bacterial infections detected in urine samples at a hospital in metropolitan Kampala (Uganda). BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common human infections. Many urinary tract bacteria are capable of expressing drug resistance. Resistant bacteria may be present from the commencement of the infection or may develop during treatment. This study focused on the problem of antibiotic resistance to the first-line drugs that were used to treat patients presenting with urinary tract infections at Rubaga hospital in Kampala, Uganda. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to isolate and identify the major bacterial pathogens of symptomatic and asymptomatic UTIs among patients at Rubaga hospital. Furthermore, the study sought to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the major bacterial isolates to the first-line drugs used to treat UTIs at Rubaga hospital. METHODS: Urine samples were aseptically collected and examined microscopically and were microbiologically cultured on blood agar, nutrient agar and on MacConkey agar. The isolates obtained were then identified using standard tests and tested for antimicrobial sensitivity by the Kirby-Bauer technique. RESULTS: The isolated pathogens included Escherichia coli (10.9%), Staphylococcus (31.9%), Streptococcus (9.2%), Klebsiella species (21.0%) and Proteus species (10.1%). 20 (16.8%) of the isolates were lactose fermenting gram-negative rods that were also indole-negative. These isolates were termed 'unclassified coliforms' in this study but were probably Enterobacter species. On antimicrobial susceptibility testing, all the gram-negative isolates were significantly resistant to amoxycillin, cotrimoxazole, erythromycin, and to nalidixic acid; but were susceptible to nitrofurantoin. Among the gram-negative isolates, only Klebsiella species were significantly resistant (p<0.05) to ciprofloxacin. The gram-positive cocci were susceptible to amoxycillin, ciprofloxacin, and to erythromycin but resistant to cotrimoxazole and nalidixic acid. Unlike the Staphylococcus species that were significantly resistant to nitrofurantoin, Streptococcus species were moderately susceptible to the drug. CONCLUSION: The common urinary tract bacteria detected in Rubaga hospital in Uganda were most sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and Nitrofurantoin.

In total, seven alternative treatment plans were made for each patient: a standard (actual) plan and an IMRT plan, both calculated with Helax TMS (Nucletron) using a pencil beam model; and a recalculated standard and a recalculated IMRT plan on Helax TMS using a point dose kernel approach. These four treatment plans were based on a standard MLC with 1-cm leaf width. Additionally, the following micro-MLC (central leaf width 3 mm)-based treatment plans were calculated with the BrainSCAN (BrainLAB) system: standard, IMRT, and dynamic arc treatments. For each treatment plan, various target parameters (conformity, coverage, mean, maximal, and minimal target dose, equivalent uniform doses, and dose-volume histogram), as well as organs at risk parameters (3 Gy and 6 Gy volume, mean dose, dose-volume histogram) were evaluated. Finally, treatment efficiency was estimated from monitor units and the number of segments for IMRT solutions. RESULTS: For both treatment planning systems, no significant difference could be observed in terms of target conformity between the standard and IMRT dose distributions. All dose distributions obtained with the micro-MLC showed significantly better conformity values compared with the standard and IMRT plans using a regular MLC. Dynamic arc plans were characterized by the steepest dose gradient and thus the smallest V(6 Gy) values, which were on average 7% smaller than the standard plans and 20% lower than the IMRT plans. Although the Helax TMS IMRT plans show about 18% more monitor units than the standard plan, BrainSCAN IMRT plans require approximately twice the number of monitor units relative to the standard plan. All treatment plans optimized with a pencil beam model but recalculated with a superposition method showed significant qualitative, as well as quantitative, differences, especially with respect to conformity and the dose to organs at risk. CONCLUSION: Standard conformal treatment techniques for SBRT could not be improved with inversely planned IMRT approaches. Dose calculation algorithms applied in optimization modules for IMRT applications in the thoracic region need to be based on the most accurate dose calculation algorithms, especially when using higher energy photon beams." ], "offsets": [ [ 91, 3085 ] ] } ]

Impact of IMRT and leaf width on stereotactic body radiotherapy of liver and lung lesions. PURPOSE: The present study explored the impact of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on stereotactic body RT (SBRT) of liver and lung lesions. Additionally, because target dose conformity can be affected by the leaf width of a multileaf collimator (MLC), especially for small targets and stereotactic applications, the use of a micro-MLC on "uniform intensity" conformal and intensity-modulated SBRT was evaluated. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The present study included 10 patients treated previously with SBRT in our institution (seven lung and three liver lesions). All patients were treated with 3 x 12 Gy prescribed to the 65% isodose level. The actual MLC-based conformal treatment plan served as the standard for additional comparison.

The impact of food fortification on stunting in Zimbabwe: does gender of the household head matter? BACKGROUND: High prevalence of stunting in children under 5 years poses a major threat to child development in developing countries. It is associated with micronutrient deficiency arising from poor diets fed to children under 5 years. Food fortification is amongst the interventions focused at reducing the incidence of stunting in children under 5 years. METHODS: Using a large-scale household data from Zimbabwe, we investigated the gender-based importance of household adoption of food fortification on the proportion of stunted children in the household. We employed propensity score matching to mitigate self-selection bias associated with household adoption of food fortification. RESULTS: We offer three major findings. Firstly, we find statistically weak evidence that female headed households are more likely to adopt food fortification than their male counterparts. Secondly, food fortification reduces the proportion of stunted children in the household. Finally, in comparison to non-adopters, female headed households that adopt food fortification are more able to reduce the proportion of stunted children in their households than their male counterparts. CONCLUSION: The results highlight the need for policy makers to actively promote food fortification, as such interventions are likely to contribute to the reduction of stunting and to involve men in fortification interventions to improve on their knowledge and appreciation of fortified foods and the associated benefits.

CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old male patient was in a drowsy mental state after exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) for about ten hours. About a day after the CO exposure, his mental state recovered to an alert condition.

Loss of barrier function at the site of a gap may provide a site of entry for disease-causing bacteria.

Relationship between breast feeding and motor development in children: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis. INTRODUCTION: The recommendations of most health organisations encourage mothers to keep exclusive breast feeding during the first 6 months and combining breast feeding with complementary feeding at least during the first and second years, due to the numerous immunologic, cognitive developmental and motor skill benefits that breast feeding confers. Although the influence of breast feeding on motor development during childhood has been studied, the findings are inconsistent, and some studies have even reported no effect. This manuscript presents a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis, with the aim of reviewing the relationship between breast feeding and motor skill development in children in terms of duration, exclusivity or non-exclusivity of breast feeding.

An indigenous case of Plasmodium ovale infection in Sri Lanka. Plasmodium ovale, which is generally prevalent only in the African region, has been emerging in the Asian and southeast Asian regions. It has not been reported in Sri Lanka. We report, to our knowledge, an indigenous case of P. ovale infection in Sri Lanka. This patient, who was diagnosed by a polymerase chain reaction, had no history of travel overseas or receipt of a transfusion of blood or any blood products, which makes this a likely case of indigenous transmission. This incidental finding of a P. ovale infection has implications for malaria control in the country and highlights the need to rigorously monitor malaria incidence, as well as prevalent Plasmodium species, with newer and more reliable diagnostics.

Spontaneous reduction of small bowel herniation through the foramen of Winslow: importance of a timely approach. We present the case of young female patient presenting with acute onset abdominal pain. Abdominopelvic CT revealed herniation through the foramen of Winslow. The patient was transferred to our hospital and underwent laparoscopic exploration. Though spontaneous reduction was detected, segmental resection of the impacted small bowel was inevitable due to ischemic change. Our case suggests that reducing the time until surgery is very important to lower the probability of bowel resection in case of small bowel herniation through the foramen of Winslow.

This study seeks to validate one such sensor, the MotusBASEBALL unit, with a marker-based motion capture laboratory. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the joint angle measurements (\"arm slot\" and \"shoulder rotation\") of the MotusBASEBALL device will hold a statistically significant level of reliability and accuracy, but that the \"arm speed\" and \"stress\" metrics will not be accurate due to limitations in IMU technology. Methods: A total of 10 healthy subjects threw five to seven fastballs followed by five to seven breaking pitches (slider or curveball) in the motion capture lab. Subjects wore retroreflective markers and the MotusBASEBALL sensor simultaneously. Results: It was found that the arm slot (R = 0.975, P < 0.001), shoulder rotation (R = 0.749, P < 0.001), and stress (R = 0.667, P = 0.001 when compared to elbow torque; R = 0.653, P = 0.002 when compared to shoulder torque) measurements were all significantly correlated with the results from the motion capture lab.
