Triphenylene containing blue-light emitting semi-fluorinated aryl ether polymers with excellent thermal and photostability (2022)

Integration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) units into semi-fluorinated polymers affords high thermal stability and excellent processability for potential applications in optoelectronic, gas-separation, and advanced composites.
Prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in blood donors from Bombay. (1992)

Analysis of serum samples from 3104 blood donors from Bombay screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by ELISA. HBsAg was detected in 4.7% of the subjects. Relatives showed a significantly higher prevalence of HBsAg than volunteer donors. There was no significant association between HBsAg positivity and a particular blood group.
Bone mineral density in patients with phenylketonuria (1999)

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed in 44 patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) aged 6–29 y. The phenylalanine-restricted diet was based on a low-protein diet in combination with phenylalanine-free amino acid mixtures and phenylalanine-low casein hydrolysate in 32 patients. The 10 oldest patients were supplemented only with casein hydrolysate, and the youngest child received only the amino acid mixture. One patient has recently come off the diet. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and total BMD were measured and expressed as Z-score, i.e. the difference between the BMD of the patient and the average BMD of sex- and age-matched controls divided by the standard deviation of the control group. Normal BMD was found in 24 (54%) patients. Lumbar spine BMD was decreased in 20 patients and total BMD was decreased in 14 patients. Z-scores of −1 to −2.5 were found in 14 patients (32%) and Z-scores of < 2.5 in 6 patients (14%). No significant correlation was found between total or lumbar spine BMD and daily intake of phenylalanine from natural sources in the low-protein diet or the amount of phenylalanine-free amino acid mixtures per kg of body weight. A significant negative correlation was observed between both total and lumbar spine BMD Z-scores and the amount of casein hydrolysate supplementation per kg of body weight (r=-0.45; y = 0.07-0.69x; p < 0.01). Long-lasting dietary restriction in patients with PKU may increase the risk of late complications of dietary therapy, such as osteoporosis or trace element deficiency.

Clonal Relatedness of Erythromycin-Resistant Streptococcus pyogenes Isolates in Germany (2004)

In a nationwide study in Germany, a total of 381 Streptococcus pyogenes were collected. Erythromycin A-resistant strains were characterized for the underlying resistance genotype, showing 55.6% had the efflux type mef(A), 31.5% had erm(A), and 13.0% had erm(B). A total of 23 different multilocus sequence types were observed.
Complementary Therapies for Pain Among Individuals Receiving Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review. (2018)

Pain is a major problem for individuals undergoing hemodialysis and can lead to decreased quality of life when ineffectively managed. Pain is often reported as burdensome; thus, nurses must learn effective, nonpharmacological adjuncts to help care for symptomatic patients. The purpose of this review was to identify non-pharmacologic complementary therapies and evaluate their effectiveness in minimizing pain among individuals undergoing hemodialysis. Multiple complementary interventions were identified, and several reduced pain, but evidence is qualified by limitations in study methods. Complementary therapies have the potential to reduce pain among individuals undergoing hemodialysis; however, more research is needed.
Microcup® Electronic Paper by Roll-To-Roll Manufacturing Processes (2003)

Page 16 Volume 16 Issue 2 2003 The Spectrum A high performance, light-weight, flexible and durable electronic paper/display with low power consumption and affordable cost has been pursued for years to replace paper or book. Bistable electrophoretic display (EPD) based on electrophoresis of charged pigment particles in a dielectric solvent was introduced in the early 1970s. It has received extraordinarily attention in the past decade because of its outstanding properties in bistability, power consumption, viewing angle, and reflective contrast ratio. However, until now, no EPD technology in the prior art is capable of delivering all the features and cost structure required to achieve any significant business success. In this paper, electronic paper manufactured by a rollto-roll process based on novel Microcup and top-sealing technologies will be discussed. Rolls of ultra thin, ultra light, and flexible EPDs with format flexibility, excellent physicomechanical properties and wide viewing angle have been produced on a continuous plastic web at high speed and low cost.
Effects of axial current in an extraction geometry applied-B ion diode (2002)

A new diode voltage monitor has been developed for the COBRA (2.5 MV, 120 kA, 40 ns) accelerator. It consists of a magnetically-insulated transmission line (MITL) connected on axis across the extraction geometry, applied-B ion diode gap. The monitor is connected at the cathode (ground) side of the diode, passes through the 3.1 m long hollow anode electrode of the COBRA four-stage linear inductive voltage adder, and then terminates.
Direct measurement of nonlinear WDM crosstalk using coherent optical detection (2012)

We present a direct measurement of the inter-channel Kerr effect on the optical field of a continuous-wave probe affected by an on-off-keyed 10 Gb/s pump. Measurements are used to verify predictions of the Manakov-PMD equation.
Development of a mixed reality application to simulate neurosurgical procedures (2023)

Conventional image guidance systems have become the standard for planning in neurosurgical procedures. While these systems have been shown to increase accuracy and precision for a variety of cases, there are still drawbacks. Such limitations revolve around the use of multiple physical components to separately display the information and the substantial amount of training time required for residents to become familiar with these systems. These disadvantages can increase the difficulty of the surgery unnecessarily, and thus affect quality. To address these concerns, a mixed reality application was developed on the Microsoft HoloLens as a surgical planning and teaching tool. Neurosurgeons could see head, brain, and tumor holograms and create a craniotomy plan through hologram interaction. These interactions included the ability to rotate the head to its desired location, perform an image-to-physical registration, and utilize a virtual stylus to collect points for the surgical plan. Furthermore, the app was expanded to also track physical tools with an optical tracker to provide a more realistic surgical planning scenario. With a tracked stylus, the user was capable of selecting points on the physical head to perform a registration where the 3D neuroanatomy models properly appeared in the physical head as a virtually augmented structure. To evaluate the prototype, practicing neurosurgeons were provided a demonstration and then promptly interviewed to assess design and efficacy. The tool alignment procedure was also evaluated to quantify the calibration error. Initial responses indicated that the prototype could be an effective surgical teaching and planning tool for less-experienced neurosurgeons because it could allow neurosurgeons to view physical and image space simultaneously.
Mice homozygous for a targeted disruption of the proto-oncogene int-2 have developmental defects in the tail and inner ear (1993)

We derived mice that carry a targeted insertion of a neor gene in the int-2 (Fgf-3) proto-oncogene coding sequences. The mutation was found to be recessive and mice that were homozygous for the insertion did not often survive to adulthood. The mutant mice had defects in the development of the tail and inner ear that could be correlated with disruption of int-2 expression in the posterior primitive streak and hindbrain or otic vesicle. While the tail phenotype was 100% penetrant, we found that the inner ear phenotype had reduced penetrance and variable expressivity. The variable expressivity could not be attributed to variability in the genetic background of the mutant allele or to leaky expression from the mutant allele. Thus, we conclude that even in a uniform genetic background, stochastic variation in the expression of a developmental circuit can result in dramatic differences in phenotypic consequences.
Effects of a Vibro-Tactile P300 Based Brain-Computer Interface on the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised in Patients With Disorders of Consciousness (2020)

Persons diagnosed with disorders of consciousness (DOC) typically suffer from motor and cognitive disabilities. Recent research has shown that non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help assess these patients' cognitive functions and command following abilities. 20 DOC patients participated in the study and performed 10 vibro-tactile P300 BCI sessions over 10 days with 8-12 runs each day. Vibrotactile tactors were placed on the each patient's left and right wrists and one foot. Patients were instructed, via earbuds, to concentrate and silently count vibrotactile pulses on either their left or right wrist that presented a target stimulus and to ignore the others. Changes of the BCI classification accuracy were investigated over the 10 days. In addition, the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) score was measured before and after the 10 vibro-tactile P300 sessions. In the first run, 10 patients had a classification accuracy above chance level (>12.5%). In the best run, every patient reached an accuracy ≥60%. The grand average accuracy in the first session for all patients was 40%. In the best session, the grand average accuracy was 88% and the median accuracy across all sessions was 21%. The CRS-R scores compared before and after 10 VT3 sessions for all 20 patients, are showing significant improvement (<i>p</i> = 0.024). Twelve of the twenty patients showed an improvement of 1 to 7 points in the CRS-R score after the VT3 BCI sessions (mean: 2.6). Six patients did not show a change of the CRS-R and two patients showed a decline in the score by 1 point. Every patient achieved at least 60% accuracy at least once, which indicates successful command following. This shows the importance of repeated measures when DOC patients are assessed. The improvement of the CRS-R score after the 10 VT3 sessions is an important issue for future experiments to test the possible therapeutic applications of vibro-tactile and related BCIs with a larger patient group.
Overcoming chromatic-dispersion effects in fiber-wireless systems incorporating external modulators (1997)

We demonstrate two techniques to reduce the effects of fiber chromatic dispersion in fiber-wireless systems incorporating external modulators. We theoretically and experimentally show that the achievable link distance can be increased by varying the chirp parameter of the modulator to give large negative chirp using a dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) biased at quadrature. In addition, we show that dispersion can be almost totally overcome by implementing a simple method using the dual-electrode MZM to generate an optical carrier with single sideband (SSB) modulation. We demonstrate the transmission of a 51.8-Mb/s pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) at 12 GHz over 80 km of standard single-mode fiber using the SSB generator and measure a bit-error-rate (BER) power penalty due to fiber dispersion of less than 0.5 dB for a BER equal to 10/sup -9/.

Extraordinarily High Dielectric Breakdown Strength of Multilayer Polyelectrolyte Thin Films (2022)

The increased use of high-voltage electronics requires higher performance dielectric materials. These electrically insulating layers need as high of a dielectric breakdown strength as possible. Herein, multiple polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer assemblies were studied as high-voltage insulators. The influences of molecular weight, polymer backbone architecture, and thermal cross-linking were investigated. It was found that increasing the molecular weight of either the polycation or polyanion increases the breakdown strength due to removal of chain ends that can act as breakdown initiating sites. It was also found that a linear polymer backbone architecture leads to higher breakdown strength when compared to branched polymer architectures. Lastly, through thermal cross-linking, the breakdown strength is increased, and the previously mentioned molecular weight and architecture effects are diminished. These 200–400 nm thick polymer multilayer films exhibit breakdown strengths of ∼300–400 kV/mm. Their simple water-based processing makes them an interesting new option for protecting various types of electronics.
Customized Osteomesh Cranioplasty (2016)

Cranioplasty, one of the oldest surgical procedures used to repair cranial defects, has undergone many revolutionary changes over time to find the ideal material to improve patient outcome. The surgical challenge in repairing large calvarial defects is known to craniofacial surgeons. Ongoing researches on various cranioplasty materials continue with the help of recent technology. Stem cell experiments and development of morphogenic proteins are expected to take the lead in future. With the aid of Computer Aided Designing technology, all currently used alloplastic materials can be custom made for even large skull defect. We present a case of young female patient following trauma underwent craniotomy and complicated with bone graft loss. Patient initially underwent cranioplasty using a PMMA implant, inspite of its excellent tensile strength was not proven to be effective it sustained fracture and got exposed. A customized osteomesh of polycaprolactone (PCL) with a titanium scaffold with bone morphogenic protein (BMP) was impregnated with stem cells was used in cranioplasty. This aided in osseoinduction, which was later proved by imaging. Empirically, there has been no ideal material for cranioplasty; however, materials that are strong, resistant to infection, radiolucent, inexpensive, and able to reincorporate with a patient's craniotomy defect will offer the greatest advantages for such patients and hence PCL with such qualities proves to be a good alternative. Keywords: Cranioplasty, Composite graft, Osteomesh, Stem cells.
A Single Photon Avalanche Diode Array Fabricated in Deep-Submicron CMOS Technology (2006)

We report the first fully integrated single photon avalanche diode array fabricated in 0.35μm 0.35μm 0.35μm 0.35μm 0.35μm 0.35μm CMOS technology. At 25μm, 25μm, 25μm, 25μm, 25μm, the pixel pitch achieved by this design is the smallest ever reported. Thanks to the level of miniaturization enabled by this design, we were able to build the largest single photon streak camera ever built in any technology, thus proving the scalability of the technology. Applications requiring low noise, high dynamic range, and/or picosecond timing accuracies are the prime candidates of this technology. Examples include bio-imaging at cellular and molecular level, fast optical imaging, single photon telecommunications, 3D cameras, optical rangefinders, LIDAR, and low light level imagers.
Adrenomedullin Improves Cardiac Expression of Heat-Shock Protein 72 and Tolerance against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Insulin-Resistant Rats (2008)

We recently reported that long-term treatment with pioglitazone restored cardiac Akt phosphorylation in response to hyperthermia (HT) and subsequent cardiac heat-shock protein 72 (HSP72) expression, in heredity insulin resistance rats via improvement of insulin sensitivity. Because adrenomedullin (AM) promotes Akt phosphorylation and attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, we tested the hypothesis that pretreatment with AM before HT could restore depressed Akt activation and cardiac HSP72 expression, thereby enhancing protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in this model. At 16 wk of age, male insulin-resistant Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats and control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats were treated with AM (0.05 microg/kg . /min iv) or vehicle for 60 min. Thereafter, HT (43 C for 20 min) or normothermia (NT; 37 C for 20 min) was applied. The heart was isolated 1 and 24 h after HT. 1) Either AM or HT induced myocardial Akt phosphorylation in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner, which was augmented by their combination. 2) Akt phosphorylation induced by HT, or a combination of HT and AM, was attenuated in insulin-resistant OLETF rat hearts. 3) The levels of Akt phosphorylation in response to AM and/or HT correlated with reperfusion-induced left ventricular functional recovery and amount of released creatine kinase during reperfusion. 4) AM protected the hearts of OLETF rats and LETO rats. Our results suggest that AM pretreatment could enhance HT-induced myocardial Akt phosphorylation and subsequent HSP72 expression in a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent manner, in association with tolerance against ischemia/reperfusion injury. This intervention was effective even in insulin-resistant hearts.

CD103 integrin identifies a high IL‐10‐producing FoxP3+regulatory T‐cell population suppressing allergic airway inflammation (2021)

Our study identifies a novel regulatory T-cell population, defined by CD103 expression, programmed to prevent exuberant type 2 inflammation and keep homeostasis in the respiratory tract under control. This has important therapeutic implications.
TESTING DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH A PRIORI UNKNOWN, POSSIBLY NONMONOTONE SHAPES (2001)

Usually, a monotone dose-response dependence can be assumed for the simultaneous comparison of increasing levels of a certain drug. However, sometimes a reversal of the dose-response curve is likely to occur at the higher doses. We investigate such violations of the monotonicity assumption. Adequate alternatives are discussed and the "protected trend alternative" is introduced. Together with the umbrella patterns described in the literature, we introduce new testing approaches for both alternatives. P-values/quantiles and power values/sample sizes are made numerically available and hence are readily computed. A short power study and the analysis of a data set from the literature demonstrate the improved behavior of the new methods.
A general solution of the n-dimensional B-tree problem (1995)

We present a generic solution to a problem which lies at the heart of the unpredictable worst-case performance characteristics of a wide class of multi-dimensional index designs: those which employ a recursive partitioning of the data space. We then show how this solution can produce modified designs with fully predictable and controllable worst-case characteristics. In particular, we show how the recursive partitioning of an n-dimensional dataspace can be represented in such a way that the characteristics of the one-dimensional B-tree are preserved in n dimensions, as far as is topologically possible i.e. a representation guaranteeing logarithmic access and update time, while also guaranteeing a one-third minimum occupancy of both data and index nodes.
Diamant – ein neuer Halbleiter (1993)

Abstract Der Bedarf an Schaltungen, die bei hohen Temperaturen funktionsfähig sind, steigt. Galliumarsenid, Siliziumkarbid und Diamant sind denkbare Materialien für diese Anwendungen. Der Einsatz von Diamant für die Hochtemperaturelektronik stößt jedoch noch auf einige Probleme.
