Lipoid pneumonia secondary to Vaseline use in a patient with tympanic membrane perforation. (2010)

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is a rare condition caused by aspiration of mineral, vegetable or animal oils. The aspiration of mineral oil is the most common cause of lipoid pneumonia in children. We present a 27-year-old man with a lipoid pneumonia with a history of daily use of Vaseline applied to cotton balls for ear plugging before swimming and shower.
Self assembled cages with mechanically interlocked cucurbiturils (2021)

We report preparation of (bis)aniline ligand <b>4</b> which contains a central viologen binding domain and its subcomponent self-assembly with aldehyde <b>5</b> and Fe(OTf)<sub>2</sub> in CH<sub>3</sub>CN to yield tetrahedral assembly <b>6</b>. Complexation of ligand <b>4</b> with CB[7] in the form of CB[7]•<b>4</b>•2PF<sub>6</sub> allows the preparation of assembly <b>7</b> which contains an average of 1.95 (range 1-3) mechanically interlocked CB[7] units. Assemblies <b>6</b> and <b>7</b> are hydrolytically unstable in water due to their imine linkages. Redesign of our system with water stable 2,2'-bipyridine end groups was realized in the form of ligands <b>11</b> and <b>16</b> which also contain a central viologen binding domain. Self-assembly of <b>11</b> with Fe(NTf<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub> gave tetrahedral MOP <b>12</b> as evidenced by <sup>1</sup>H NMR, DOSY, and mass spectrometric analysis. In contrast, isomeric ligand <b>16</b> underwent self-assembly with Fe(OTf)<sub>2</sub> to give cubic assembly <b>17</b>. Precomplexation of ligands <b>11</b> and <b>16</b> with CB[7] gave the acetonitrile soluble CB[7]•<b>11</b>•2PF<sub>6</sub> and CB[7]•<b>16</b>•2PF<sub>6</sub> complexes. Self-assembly of CB[7]•<b>11</b>•2PF<sub>6</sub> with Fe(OTf)<sub>2</sub> gave tetrahedron <b>13</b> which contains on average 1.8 mechanically interlocked CB[7] units as determined by <sup>1</sup>H NMR, DOSY, and ESI-MS analysis. Self-assembly of CB[7]•<b>16</b>•2PF<sub>6</sub> with Fe(OTf)<sub>2</sub> gave cube <b>13</b> which contains 6.59 mechanically interlocked CB[7] units as determined by <sup>1</sup>H NMR and DOSY measurements.
Surface Tension and Adsorption Properties of a Series of Bolaamphiphilic Poly(fluorooxetane)s (2003)

Studies of surface tension, adsorption parameters, and dynamic surface tension were performed on a series of bolaamphiphilic α,ω-(diammonium disulfato)poly(fluorooxetane)s of several perfluoroalkyl chain lengths. Similar measurements were performed on a small-molecule, anionic fluorosurfactant with a −C8F17 perfluoroalkyl group that is known to be an effective flow and leveling aid in aqueous coatings. Molecular area demands for the poly(fluorooxetane)s were found to be relatively small for a polymeric species and may indicate a change in conformation between bulk solution and interface. Other adsorption parameters were found to be similar to those of the small-molecule fluorosurfactant. Diffusion coefficients were found to be slightly smaller for the poly(fluorooxetane)s compared to the small-molecule fluorosurfactant.
Scientific Computing in the CH Programming Language (1993)

We have developed a general‐purpose block‐structured interpretive programming Ianguage. The syntax and semantics of this language called C H are similar to C. C H retains most features of C from the scientific computing point of view. In this paper, the extension of C to C H for numerical computation of real numbers will be described. Metanumbers of −0.0, 0.0, Inf, −Inf, and NaN are introduced in C H . Through these metanumbers, the power of the IEEE 754 arithmetic standard is easily available to the programmer. These metanumbers are extended to commonly used mathematical functions in the spirit of the IEEE 754 standard and ANSI C. The definitions for manipulation of these metanumbers in I/O; arithmetic, relational, and logic operations; and built‐in polymorphic mathematical functions are defined. The capabilities of bitwise, assignment, address and indirection, increment and decrement, as well as type conversion operations in ANSI C are extended in C H . In this paper, mainly new linguistic features of C H in comparison to C will be described. Example programs programmed in C H with metanumbers and polymorphic mathematical functions will demonstrate capabilities of C H in scientific computing.
A Controller Development Based on PLC for Climate Control of Agricultural Greenhouses (2013)

Forced ventilation has more accuracy in climate control of agricultural greenhouses. It is worthwhile to apply some energy saving measures to overcome the disadvantage of high power consumption in fan driving of forced ventilation. Here we present a new developed controller based on PLC which mainly can control the ventilation fans rotation speed in combination with variable frequency drive except for manipulating other facilities in greenhouse like pad, shading screen etc . The control system integrates a sense module which measuring solar radiation, temperature and humidity inside and outside of greenhouse, an actuating module which includes variable frequency drive, pad control and radiation screens to perform a optimized cooling strategy to reduce electrical energy consumption by low down the fans rotation speed with ambient condition changes.
Detection ability of preoperative F-18 FDG PET/CT for axillary nodal metastasis in stage T1 and T2 breast cancer (2010)

1199 Objectives The value of FDG PET/CT for axillary nodal staging in overall breast cancer has been relatively well established. However, reports on FDG PET/CT in axillary nodal staging in early stage of breast cancer are still lacking. We aimed to evaluate the ability of FDG PET/CT for the preoperative diagnosis of axillary nodal metastasis in T1 and T2 stage breast cancer. Methods We enrolled 46 patients (51.7±11.4 y/o) with stage T1 and T2 breast cancer who underwent preoperative PET/CT and surgery. Based on surgical and histologic results, we estimated the efficacy (sensitivity[SN], specificity[SP], positive predictive value[PPV], negative predictive value[NPV] and accuracy[AC]) of PET, CT and PET/CT, respectively, to detect axillary nodal metastasis. Results Of the 46 patients, 31 were stage T1 and 15 were stage T2. One hundred-one nodes proved to be positive for metastasis. The mean size and pSUV of all metastatic nodes were 7.5±3.2 mm (95% confidence interval[CI]; 6.6-8.5 mm) and 5.7±4.5 (95% CI; 4.4-7), respectively. There was a significant correlation between the pSUV of metastatic nodes and size of them (r = 0.814, p = 0.001). The respective SN, SP, PPV, NPV and AC were 40.6% (41 of 101), 67.7% (21 of 31), 87.3% (41 of 51), 25.9% (21 of 81) and 47.0% (62 of 132) in CT, 47.5% (48 of 101), 76.7% (23 of 30), 87.3% (48 of 55), 30.3% (23 of 76) and 54.2% (71 of 131) in PET and 48.5% (49 of 101), 67.7% (21 of 31), 83.1% (49 of 59), 28.8% (21 of 73) and 53.8% (70 of 132) in PET/CT. When 1.4 of pSUV was added as diagnostic criteria of PET/CT to differentiate benign from metastasis, the ROC curve showed the maximal SN (92.0%), SP (66.7%) and AC (89.1%). Conclusions This study showed FDG PET/CT had a limitation in detecting axillary nodal metastasis in stage T1 and T2 breast cancer. This study also indicated that metabolic activity by PET is more important factor than morphologic characteristics by CT to discriminate benign node from metastatic node

Nonparametric multi-level clustering of human epilepsy seizures (2016)

Understanding neuronal activity in the human brain is an extremely difficult problem both in terms of measurement and statistical modeling. We address a particular research question in this area: the analysis of human intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) recordings of epileptic seizures from a collection of patients. In these data, each seizure of each patient is defined by the activities of many individual recording channels. The modeling of epileptic seizures is challenging due the large amount of heterogeneity in iEEG signal between channels within a particular seizure, between seizures within an individual, and across individuals. We develop a new nonparametric hierarchical Bayesian model that simultaneously addresses these multiple levels of heterogeneity in our epilepsy data. Our approach, which we call a multi-level clustering hierarchical Dirichlet process (MLC-HDP), clusters over channel activities within a seizure, over seizures of a patient and over patients. We demonstrate the advantages of our methodology over alternative approaches in human EEG seizure data and show that its seizure clustering is close to manual clustering by a physician expert. We also address important clinical questions like “to which seizures of other patients is this seizure similar?”
State of the Art Review of Cell Therapy in the Treatment of Lung Disease, and the Potential for Aerosol Delivery (2020)

Respiratory and pulmonary diseases are among the leading causes of death globally. Despite tremendous advancements, there are no effective pharmacological therapies capable of curing diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), and COVID-19. Novel and innovative therapies such as advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are still in early development. However, they have exhibited significant potential preclinically and clinically. There are several longitudinal studies published, primarily focusing on the use of cell therapies for respiratory diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and reparative properties, thereby hinting that they have the capability of reducing mortality and improving the quality of life for patients. The primary objective of this paper is to set out a state of the art review on the use of aerosolized MSCs and their potential to treat these incurable diseases. This review will examine selected respiratory and pulmonary diseases, present an overview of the therapeutic potential of cell therapy and finally provide insight into potential routes of administration, with a focus on aerosol-mediated ATMP delivery.
Monodisperse Emulsion Drop Microenvironments for Bacterial Biofilm Growth (2015)

In this work, microfluidic technology is used to rapidly create hundreds of thousands of monodisperse double and triple emulsion drops that serve as 3D microenvironments for the containment and growth of bacterial biofilms. The size of these drops, with diameters from tens to hundreds of micrometers, makes them amenable to rapid manipulation and analysis. This is demonstrated by using microscopy to visualize cellular differentiation of Bacillus subtilis biofilm communities within each drop and the bacterial biofilm microstructure. Biofilm growth is explored upon specific interfaces in double and triple emulsions and upon negative and positive radii of curvature. Biofilm attachment of matrix and flagella mutants is studied as well as biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This is the first demonstration of biofilms grown in microscale emulsion drops, which serve as both templates and containers for biofilm growth and attachment. These microenvironments have the potential to transform existing high-throughput screening methods for bacterial biofilms.

One-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty. A prospective study of perioperative morbidity. (1988)

Controversy exists over the safety of performing one-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty. A prospective protocol was established in 35 patients to evaluate the perioperative morbidity of one-stage bilateral arthroplasty as compared with unilateral controls. Although there was no increase in the frequency of respiratory morbidity in bilateral procedures, respiratory depression is common with both procedures. The authors believe this is consistent with varying degrees of the adult respiratory distress syndrome and that the term fat embolism syndrome is misleading and should be abandoned.
Air-Fuel Ratio Control for a High Performance Engine using Throttle Angle Information (1999)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This paper presents the development of a model-based air/fuel ratio controller for a high performance engine that uses, in addition to other usual signals, the throttle angle to enable predictive air mass flow rate estimation.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The objective of the paper is to evaluate the possibility to achieve a finer air/fuel ratio control during transients that involve sudden variations in the physical conditions inside the intake manifold, due, for example, to fast throttle opening or closing actions. The air mass flow rate toward the engine cylinders undertakes strong variation in such transients, and its correct estimation becomes critical mainly because of the time lag between its evaluation and the instant when the air actually enters the cylinders.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The approach to research consists of the use of a fuel film dynamics model-based compensator and of an algorithm that estimates, before the intake stroke, the amount of air that will enter the cylinder, using the throttle position signal as a feed-forward information about the mean intake manifold pressure.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The conclusion will show the possibility to enable some improvement in the air-fuel ratio control; experimental tests on-board the vehicle are in progress.&lt;/div&gt;
MARCAS DO QUE SE FOI: UFANISMO E PROPAGANDA NA DITADURA NO BRASIL (2023)

The present work proposes to study the role of propaganda in the audiovisual media, TV and cinema, by the Dictatorship in Brazil. The time cut for the production is the 1970s and 1980s. The choice of this period is due to the double context that involved the dictatorial government in Brazil: the defeat of the armed opposition in the military field, reinforcing the modernizing role of the government in social and economic relations, and the need to recompose the bases of support in Brazilian society after the Economic Miracle crisis. Theoretically, what we seek to demonstrate is propaganda as an instrument of persuasion at a time when the use of coercion is wearing thin. Building and reinforcing ties between the government and Brazilian society was one of the objectives of the government's TV and cinema advertisements. For this work, besides articles and books that discuss the theme, the propaganda films of the period will be analyzed. The selection of the films will be made according to previously defined themes. The films are in the National Archive, which has made them available on the YouTube website. The links of each film analyzed will be indicated. Analyzing the discourse that permeates each film allows an understanding of the objectives and proposals contained in the filming. Besides, since its creation at the end of the 19th century we have seen the intersection between cinema and history. We can see that the visual analysis of the propaganda pieces will allow us to dive into the historical context of the time, perceiving the nuances that marked Brazil in the period. Our conclusion will be to demonstrate how the action of propaganda was inserted in the context of the advance of the industrialization of consumer goods, reaching, however, the urban middle segments and failing to broaden the bases of support of the dictatorial government. Constructing the reflection that the present article proposes
Response Improvement of Microstrip Line Microwave and Miliwave Phase Shifter Utilizing Polymer Stabilized Nematic Liquid Crystal with UV Polymerization (2017)

Nowadays as the development of cell phone and satellite communications, liquid crystal materials have attracted considerable attention for realizing these electrically controllable microwave and milliwave components. As usual, nematic liquid crystal is mainly used for microstrip line (MSL) phase shifter, but when driving voltage is removed the response time is very long. In this study, we discuss about using polymer stabilized nematic liquid crystals with UV polymerization for improving the response time in MSL phase shifter in which phase shift is about two times larger than that in CPW phase shifter.
Polyphenols in Cocoa and Cocoa Products: Is There a Link between Antioxidant Properties and Health? (2008)

Cocoa and cocoa products have received much attention due to their significant polyphenol contents. Cocoa and cocoa products, namely cocoa liquor, cocoa powder and chocolates (milk and dark chocolates) may present varied polyphenol contents and possess different levels of antioxidant potentials. For the past ten years, at least 28 human studies have been conducted utilizing one of these cocoa products. However, questions arise on which of these products would deliver the best polyphenol contents and antioxidant effects. Moreover, the presence of methylxanthines, peptides, and minerals could synergistically enhance or reduce antioxidant properties of cocoa and cocoa products. To a greater extent, cocoa beans from different countries of origins and the methods of preparation (primary and secondary) could also partially influence the antioxidant polyphenols of cocoa products. Hence, comprehensive studies on the aforementioned factors could provide the understanding of health-promoting activities of cocoa or cocoa products components.
Interleukin-9 Promotes Allergen-Induced Eosinophilic Inflammation and Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Transgenic Mice (1998)

Human atopic asthma is a complex heritable inflammatory disorder of the airways associated with clinical signs of allergic inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Recent studies demonstrate that the degree of airway responsiveness is strongly associated with interleukin (IL)-9 expression in murine lung. To investigate the contribution of IL-9 to airway hyperresponsiveness, and to explore directly its relationship to airway inflammation, we studied transgenic mice overexpressing IL-9. In this report we show that IL-9 transgenic mice (FVB/N-TG5), in comparison with FVB/NJ mice, display significantly enhanced eosinophilic airway inflammation, elevated serum total immunoglobulin E, and airway hyperresponsiveness following lung challenge with a natural antigen (Aspergillus fumigatus). These data support a central role for IL-9 in the complex pathogenesis of allergic inflammation.
Refractive index sensing of fiber optic long-period grating structures coated with a plasma deposited diamond-like carbon thin film (2008)

Long-period grating (LPG) structures including cascaded LPGs on step index fibers and photonic crystal fibers were coated with thin films of diamond-like carbon (DLC) using plasma deposition techniques. Improvements in the coating procedures increased sensitivity to external refractive index variations indicating significant improvements in sensing capability of the hybrid structures. DLC films in the range of tens of nanometers significantly increased sensitivity of all the structures tested.
Molecular Mechanism of Action of Pharmacoperone Rescue of Misrouted GPCR Mutants: The GnRH Receptor (2008)

The human GnRH receptor (hGnRHR), a G protein-coupled receptor, is a useful model for studying pharmacological chaperones (pharmacoperones), drugs that rescue misfolded and misrouted protein mutants and restore them to function. This technique forms the basis of a therapeutic approach of rescuing mutants associated with human disease and restoring them to function. The present study relies on computational modeling, followed by site-directed mutagenesis, assessment of ligand binding, effector activation, and confocal microscopy. Our results show that two different chemical classes of pharmacoperones act to stabilize hGnRHR mutants by bridging residues D(98) and K(121). This ligand-mediated bridge serves as a surrogate for a naturally occurring and highly conserved salt bridge (E(90)-K(121)) that stabilizes the relation between transmembranes 2 and 3, which is required for passage of the receptor through the cellular quality control system and to the plasma membrane. Our model was used to reveal important pharmacophoric features, and then identify a novel chemical ligand, which was able to rescue a D(98) mutant of the hGnRHR that could not be rescued as effectively by previously known pharmacoperones.
