A Combined Technique for Peripheral Arterial Embolectomy (1972)

One hundred ten consecutive peripheral arterial embolectomies were performed from 1964 to 1971. In addition to routine use of balloon catheters in all patients, a Dormia catheter was used for removal of distal propagated thrombi. This device has a collapsable double-wire basket in its tip, which can be extruded after the catheter is passed down the artery. The Dormia catheter was utilized in all patients after no further thromboembolic material could be recovered with the Fogarty catheter, and, in almost all cases, additional thrombus was recovered. The patient mortality was 22.5% and the procedure mortality was 19%, 64% of the deaths being related to the cardiovascular system. The amputation rate for patients explored within the first 24 hours was 8.8%, while after 24 hours it was 17.4%. The overall limb salvage among survivors was 92.1%. Complications related to the Dormia catheter and to postoperative anticoagulation were few.
Bowel preparation for colonoscopy: comparison of mannitol and sodium phosphate. Results of a prospective randomized study (1999)

Quality of preparation and frequency of side effects was similar in the two solutions. The smaller volume of sodium phosphate necessary for preparation seems to be related to its favorable acceptance. Nevertheless, the retention of sodium and phosphate ions contraindicates the use of sodium phosphate in patients with renal failure, cirrhosis, ascites, and heart failure.
Improving travel time reliability by the use of trip booking (2004)

The congestion of our infrastructure, particularly urban roads, continues to increase. Efficient planning, for instance in freight transport, is hindered by the resulting unreliability of travel times. Another effect of this congestion is a reduced utilization rate of the road. This paper presents Trip Booking, a method aimed at improvement of the reliability of travel times as well as an increase in the effective use of road capacity. Increased reliability facilitates better logistic planning. It furthermore allows sharing of infrastructure between different modalities, with each modality having its own operational time window. The system aims at open dedicated infrastructure such as bus lanes and dedicated freight lanes and preserves autonomy of both the provider and the user of the infrastructure. The advantage claims are supported by simulation results for basic network configurations.

Understanding the potential role of mobile phone‐based monitoring on asthma self‐management: qualitative study (2007)

Mobile phone-based monitoring systems have the potential to support guided self-management by aiding transition from clinician-supported early phases to effective self-management during the maintenance phase. Continuing development, adoption and formal evaluation of these systems should take account of the insights provided by our data.
Practical Considerations for in Vivo THz Imaging (2010)

Terahertz imaging systems have advanced significantly over recent years and now in vivo terahertz imaging is plausible. In this paper we discuss the constraints that need to be considered in designing and implementing a terahertz system for in vivo imaging. We describe the requirements and limitations of system geometry, data acquisition rate, image resolution and penetration depth. Furthermore we explain how various factors are dependent on each other. We show how some of the physical limitations can be overcome using novel data processing.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the environment. Isolation and characterization by chromatography, visible, ultraviolet, and mass spectrometry (1974)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from many sources accumulate in soils, recent and ancient sediments, and in many other environmental samples. They occur at low concentrations and in the presence of other extractable materials. We describe an isolation technique utilizing a sequence of gel filtration, adsorption chromatography, and charge transfer complexation. It leads rapidly to aromatic ring-type concentrates that are sufficiently pure for UV, visible, and mass spectrometry. In combination, these techniques resolve adequately very complex mixtures of aromatic hydrocarbons, for instance from fossil fuels, and provide a detailed insight into the hydrocarbon composition, on a milligram to microgram scale. Analyses of some recent near-shore marine sediments demonstrate an unanticipated complexity of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fraction. The principal hydrocarbon series extends over a wide molecular weight range; minor series are the naphthenologs and thienologs of the major series. The analytical and biochemical implications are discussed.

Solitary Confinement of Juvenile Offenders and Pre-Trial Detainees (2019)

He was then transferred to Riker's, where he was incarcerated for nearly three years. 8 Kalief Browder spent more than seven-hundred days of his incarceration in solitary confinement. 9 Kalief was unjustly punished and placed in solitary confinement on multiple occasions, without being provided a misconduct hearing. 10While in solitary, he was confined to a small cell for twenty-three hours per day, with only a metal bed, a sink and a toilet. 11Inmates in solitary are not entitled to commissary, and therefore, are only able to eat when the guards slide a tray of food through a slit in the cell door. 12However, Kalief was often given half eaten trays of food or not fed at all. 13 Kalief described feeling isolated, depressed and hopeless. 14 He pleaded for help from the jail psychiatrist, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. 15 He talked to himself and expressed to the psychiatrist that he felt like he was going insane. 16 During his time in Riker's, Kalief attempted suicide three times. 17Despite his suicide attempts, he was immediately brought back to solitary confinement instead of receiving psychiatric treatment or placed into general population. 18 The correctional officers claimed that they believed Kalief was exaggerating his symptoms and faking his suicide attempts. 19 Because there was no mandatory procedure in effect, the guards had absolute discretion over Kalief's access to medical and psychiatric treatment. 20Furthermore, one of his most important lifelines at the time, his legal aid attorney, made no attempt to have Kalief released from solitary or receive medical treatment. 21 Because of his refusal to join a gang, inmates and guards repeatedly assaulted Kalief. 22 Many of the assaults were captured on video at Riker's and showed guards clearly assaulting Kalief without cause and 8 Id.
Role of cytoskeleton in cell shaping of developing mesophyll of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). (1992)

The effects of oryzalin and cytochalasin B (CB) on microtubule and actin microfilament arrays and on cell shaping were investigated in developing wheat mesophyll. Excised immature leaf sections capable of differentiating were incubated with the drugs. The behavior of the cytoskeleton was monitored by fluorescence microscopy after labeling with fluorescent dyes. Brief incubation with oryzalin (40 min, 10 microM) caused disassembly of microtubules. Recovery of microtubule arrays was comparatively slow after removal of the drug. Cells failed to establish transverse cortical bands of microtubules and transverse hoops of wall reinforcement. They expanded isodiametrically rather than longitudinally without forming lobes typical of wheat mesophyll cells. Brief treatment with CB (60 min, 20 micrograms ml-1) appeared to disrupt the microfilament arrays. Filaments recovered rapidly after removal of CB, and cells were able to shape in an apparently normal fashion. Continuous incubation at comparatively low concentration of CB (4 micrograms ml-1) appeared to cause selective loss of the fine transverse cortical microfilament arrays. Cortical transverse microtubule arrays persisted, but failed to form distinct bands in the majority of the cells. Cells were able to elongate in an almost normal fashion, but no lobes were formed.
PET image reconstruction using compressed sensing (2013)

PET is a scanning procedure in medical imaging based research. It provides measurements of functioning in distinct areas of the human brain while the patient is comfortable, conscious and alert. This work presents new compression sensing based super-resolution algorithm for improving the resolution in clinical positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. The problem of motion artifacts is well known in positron emission tomography (PET) studies. The PET images are being acquired over a limited period of time. As the patients cannot hold breath during the PET data gathering, spatial blurring and motion artefacts are the usual result. These may lead to wrong diagnosis. It is shown that the approach improves PET spatial resolution in cases Compressed Sensing (CS) sequences are used. Compressed sensing (CS) aims at signal and images reconstructing from significantly fewer measurements than were traditionally thought necessary. The use of CS to PET has the potential for significant scan time reductions, with visible benefits for patients and health care economics. In this study the goal is to combine Super-Resolution image enhancement algorithm with CS framework to achieve high resolution PET output. Both methods emphasize on maximizing image sparsity on known sparse transform domain and minimizing fidelity.
The Extraction and Isolation of DNA from Gels (2003)

As will be evident from a number of the following chapters (i.e., Chapters 31 , Chapters 38 - Chapters 41 , Chapters 51 - Chapters 53 ), gel electrophoresis of DNA is a widely used technique in molecular biology. In a number of cases, e.g., for such procedures as cloning and DNA sequencing, it is not sufficient just to analyze the DNA on these gels; the DNA must also be recovered from the gel. It is clear that the DNA in these cases has to be recovered in as high yields as possible and that the molecules should not be damaged. There are many published procedures for extracting DNA fragments from agarose or acrylamide gels (1-4), but none are very satisfactory. As mentioned in Chapters 38 - Chapters 41 , agarose inhibits a number of enzymes used for labeling DNA molecules, for restriction, and for ligation. Acrylamide does not seem to inhibit most enzymes, but interferes with the electron microscopy of DNA. The procedures described below have all been used in our laboratory, albeit with varying degrees of success. The fact that a number of methods have not been included in this chapter does not mean that the particular method could not be of any use, but only that the authors are not familiar with it.The first step in each method is to locate the band of interest, either by staining the DNA with ethidium bromide or, if the DNA is radioactively labeled, by identifying by autoradiography, both of which are described elsewhere in this book and are therefore omitted from this chapter.
Cloud-based services for the Internet of Things (2018)

In this paper, cloud-based services aimed for the connectivity, monitoring, and management of the IoT devices are presented. To set up a network with a large number of devices in the constrained environment can be a challenge. Also, collecting, storing and analyzing data generated from sensors attached to the devices most often requires developing custom-made applications which imply time and cost consumption. Several cloud providers are offering IoT services that unite needed features into full solution offering connectivity between devices and the cloud, processing of data sent from devices and interaction with connected devices through the application. One of them is AWS IoT (Amazon Internet of Things) which is fully scalable, reliable and simple to use. This platform can collect data from a large number of different devices and connect them to endpoints for other tools, allowing a developer to tie received data into the independent application. Other aspects, like security, resource management, integration and centralized management are also covered. In this paper, we will evaluate the performance of the AWS IoT web services by connecting small, single-board computers, like Raspberry Pi through different scenarios.
Bandit Algorithms (2020)

Decision-making in the face of uncertainty is a significant challenge in machine learning, and the multi-armed bandit model is a commonly used framework to address it. This comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the multi-armed bandit problem examines all the major settings, including stochastic, adversarial, and Bayesian frameworks. A focus on both mathematical intuition and carefully worked proofs makes this an excellent reference for established researchers and a helpful resource for graduate students in computer science, engineering, statistics, applied mathematics and economics. Linear bandits receive special attention as one of the most useful models in applications, while other chapters are dedicated to combinatorial bandits, ranking, non-stationary problems, Thompson sampling and pure exploration. The book ends with a peek into the world beyond bandits with an introduction to partial monitoring and learning in Markov decision processes.

Effects of asymmetric photopeak windows on flood field uniformity and spatial resolution of scintillation cameras. (1986)

Pulse height analyzer windows that are set on the high side of the photopeak are known to improve spatial resolution and contrast when used for scintillation camera imaging. Asymmetric windows can be used with some scintillation cameras that have energy correction circuitry. In this study the improvement in spatial resolution and loss of field uniformity for 99mTc, 201Tl, and 131I were measured as a function of window asymmetry (up to 30%, defined relative to the loss of counts as compared to a symmetric window under intrinsic conditions). Flood field uniformity was inversely related to the degree of window asymmetry. With 10 cm of scatter the 99mTc integral uniformity deteriorated from 7.9% with a symmetric window to 11.5% for a 30% asymmetric window. The corresponding values for 201Tl were 9.9 and 10.9%. Even without additional scatter, the values for 131I were 23.0 and 26.5%. Spatial resolution, as measured by the full width at half maximum in 10 cm of scatter improved by only 5% for 99mTc and 7% for 201Tl. However, the full width at tenth maximum increased by as much as 20% for 99mTc and 201Tl. A large percentage of this improvement was attained with small degrees of asymmetry. This study demonstrates that 10% or less asymmetry can provide most of the benefit in spatial resolution and contrast that is to be gained without significant losses in field uniformity and count rate.

The <i>excC</i> gene of <i>Escherichia coli</i> K‐12 required for cell envelope integrity encodes the peptidoglycan‐associated lipoprotein (PAL) (1992)

The excC mutants of Escherichia coli are hypersensitive to drugs such as cholic acid and release periplasmic proteins into the extracellular medium. A 1884 bp fragment carrying the excC gene was isolated and sequenced. It contains the 3' end of the tolB gene which maps at min 17 on the E. coli map and an open reading frame which encodes the 18,748 Da ExcC protein. The protein is composed of a hydrophobic region of 22 residues and displayed an overall hydrophilic configuration. It was shown that the ExcC protein is indeed the PAL (peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein) described by Mizuno (1979). The pal gene had not yet been characterized on the E. coli linkage map since no obvious phenotype could be identified for mutations in this gene. A topologic analysis of the PAL protein using PAL-PhoA translational fusions showed that PAL is associated with the outer membrane only by its N-terminal moiety. The carboxy-terminal part of the protein is necessary for correct interaction of PAL with the peptidoglycan layer.
