Photoelectron emission from small particles suspended in air (1978)

Electrical conductivity caused by photoelectron emission from ultrafine particles suspended in a gas has been observed; one obtains information on the concentration as well as on the size of the particles. Furthermore, some bulk and surface properties of small particles not in contact with any substrate can be investigated at any temperature via the photoelectric threshold and the yield of photoelectrons. The method is extremely sensitive, i.e., measurements can be made at a very low particle concentration (∼103 cm−3) and small particle radii (&lt;50 Å).

Human Kallikrein 3 (prostate-specific antigen) and Human Kallikrein 5 Expression in Salivary Gland Tumors (2006)

The human kallikrein 5 protein (hK5) is expressed in many normal tissues, most notably in skin, breast, salivary gland and esophagus. It has also been shown to be a potential biomarker for breast, ovarian and testicular cancer. Human kallikrein 3 (hK3; prostate-specific antigen) is the most useful marker for adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland. The aim of this study was to determine whether hK3 and hK5 are expressed in salivary gland tissues and salivary gland tumors (both benign and malignant), in order to compare normal with tumor tissues. Pleomorphic adenomas, adenoid cystic carcinomas, polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas, acinic cell carcinomas, mucoepidermoid carcinomas and adenocarcinomas not otherwise specified of both minor and major salivary glands were examined. The results of this study indicate that most salivary gland tumors do not show high levels of expression of hK5. Staining was most prominent in keratinizing epithelia in pleomorphic adenomas. hK3 is not expressed in salivary gland tumors.
Resident Peritoneal NK Cells (2011)

In this study, we describe a new population of NK cells that reside in the normal, uninflamed peritoneal cavity. Phenotypically, they share some similarities with the small population of CD49b(-), CD27(+) immature splenic NK cells, as well as liver NK cells, but they differ in their expression of CD62L, TRAIL, and EOMES. Functionally, the peritoneal NK cells resemble the immature splenic NK cells in their production of IFN-γ, GM-CSF, and TNF-α and in the killing of YAC-1 target cells. We also found that the peritoneum induces different behavior in mature and immature splenic NK cells. When transferred i.v. into RAGγc knockout mice, both populations undergo homeostatic proliferation in the spleen, but only the immature splenic NK cells are able to reach the peritoneum. When transferred directly into the peritoneum, the mature NK cells survive but do not divide, whereas the immature NK cells proliferate profusely. These data suggest that the peritoneum is not only home to a new subset of tissue-resident NK cells, but that it differentially regulates the migration and homeostatic proliferation of immature versus mature NK cells.
Clinical Trials with an Anti-CD25 Ricin A-Chain Experimental and Immunotoxin (RFT5-SMPT-dgA) in Hodgkin's Lymphoma (1998)

Immunotoxins (ITs) consisting of a cell-binding component and a potent toxin were developed as a new class of biological anti-tumor agents to improve adjuvant therapy. Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) has been demonstrated to be an excellent target for ITs because high concentrations of lymphocyte activation markers such as CD25 and CD30 are expressed on Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H-RS). Several ITs against these antigens have shown potent antitumor effects against H-RS cells in vitro and in different HL animal models. On the basis of its superiority in preclinical models, the anti-CD25 IT RFT5-SMPT-dgA was subsequently evaluated in a phase I study in patients with refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma. The IT was constructed by linking the monoclonal antibody (Moab) RFT5 via a sterically hindered disulfide linker (SMPT) to deglycosylated ricin A-chain (dgA). All 15 patients enrolled in this trial were heavily pretreated with a mean of five different prior therapies. The IT was administered intravenously over four hours on days 1-3-5-7 for total doses per cycle of 5, 10, 15, or 20 mg/m2. Side effects were reversible and related to the vascular leak syndrome (VLS), i.e. decrease in serum albumin, edema, weight gain, hypotension, tachycardia, myalgia, and weakness. In all three patients receiving 20 mg/m2 NCI toxicity grade III was observed. Thus, 15 mg/m2 is the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of RFT5-SMPT-dgA. 50% of the patients developed human anti-ricin A-chain antibodies (HARA) and/or human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA). Clinical results included two partial remissions (PR), one minor response (MR), three stable disease (SD) and nine progressive disease (PD). In an extension of the phase I trial, five additional patients have been treated at the MTD.
Navier-Stokes and Euler solutions for an unmanned aerial vehicle (1992)

Navier-Stokes and Euler solutions have been computed for an url~ilanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The unmanned aerial vehicle in this study, the Cypher under development by Sikorsky Aircraft, has an unique geometry which consists of propulsive co-axial rotors surrounded by a bluff-body shroud. The flow about this aircraft is highly three-di~nensional and de~nonstrates strong viscous effects. Body forces were used in the flow solver to account for the presence of the rotors. Viscous and illviscid results are presented and conpared with experimental data. The need for a NavierStokes solver for adequate flow a.nd air1oa.d~ prediction is demonstrated. Calculations are compared with data for several flight conditions, and two different shroud geometries. Considering the present nodel ling assumptions, the correlation with experimental data is good.
Factors Influencing Quantity of Cantharidin Transferred to Alfalfa from Epicauta occidentalis Werner (Coleoptera: Meloidae) (1997)

Blister beetles, including Epicauta occidentalis Werner, contain cantharidin, which is a toxin that may cause severe irritation of the digestive tract and even death of livestock that ingest contaminated alfalfa. During harvest, alfalfa is easily contaminated by fluids and bodies of blister beetles, either by the crushing action of mechanical conditioning or by running over beetles with tractor tires when using sicklebar mowers for cutting. We developed a thin-layer chromatographic cleanup procedure followed by gas chromatographic analysis to quantify how cantharidin transfer to alfalfa is influenced by the condition and location of beetles in the crop. During the harvest process, living E. occidentalis located on top of cut alfalfa transferred 6.51% (93 µg per beetle) of their total cantharidin content to the hay. After all body parts were removed, 34 ppm of cantharidin was present in a 500-g sample of alfalfa contaminated by crushing 50 beetles onto the hay. Living beetles located below the cut alfalfa transferred less (4.44% or 63 µg per beetle) of their cantharidin to the hay. Recently killed and living beetles transferred significantly greater percentages of cantharidin to hay than beetles that were dead and dried. Male E. occidentalis contained greater amounts of cantharidin (1.28 mg per beetle or 6% body dry weight) than did female beetles (0.87 mg per beetle or 3%body dry weight). Dead beetles, stored for 9 mo at room temperature (25 ± 5°C), contained 34% less cantharidin on a body dry weight basis than did dead beetles kept at -10°C, underscoring the stability of cantharidin and the attendant long-term risk to livestock.
Localized in Vivo 1H NMR Spectroscopy of the Rat Brain at 16.4T (2010)

Localized in vivo 1H NMR spectroscopy has allowed detection and quantification of nineteen cerebral metabolites in the rat brain at 9.4T and at 14.1T [1]. It would be promising to explore the further possibility of quantifying additional metabolites by utilizing advantages of ultra-high fields. Here, we report results of 1H NMR spectroscopy of the rat brain in vivo at 16.4T, demonstrating the possibility to acquire an enhanced neurochemical profile with reliable quantification of additional metabolites, acetate and ethanolamine.
Complex Encounters: Nanoparticles in Whole Blood and Their Uptake Into Different Types of White Blood Cells (2012)

By using heparinized whole blood, the authors demonstrated differences and usefulness of this assay for screening cellular uptake as it should occur in the bloodstream. Nevertheless, animal studies are warranted for final assessment of the nanoparticles.
Hydrolysis of VX on Concrete: Rate of Degradation by Direct Surface Interrogation Using an Ion Trap Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (2002)

The nerve agent VX (O-ethyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate) is lethal at very low levels of exposure, which can occur by dermal contact with contaminated surfaces. Hence, behavior of VX in contact with common urban or industrial surfaces is a subject of acute interest. In the present study, VX was found to undergo complete degradation when in contact with concrete surfaces. The degradation was directly interrogated at submonolayer concentrations by periodically performing secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analyses after exposure of the concrete to VX. The abundance of the [VX + H]+ ion in the SIMS spectra was observed to decrease in an exponential fashion, consistent with first-order or pseudo-first-order behavior. This phenomenon enabled the rate constant to be determined at 0.005 min(-1) at 25 degrees C, which corresponds to a half-life of about 3 h on the concrete surface. The decrease in [VX + H]+ was accompanied by an increase in the abundance of the principal degradation product diisopropylaminoethanethiol (DESH), which arises by cleavage of the P-S bond. Degradation to form DESH is accompanied by the formation of ethyl methylphosphonic acid, which is observable only in the negative ion spectrum. A second degradation product was also implicated, which corresponded to a diisopropylvinylamine isomer (perhaps N,N-diisopropyl aziridinium) that arose via cleavage of the S-C bond. No evidence was observed for the formation of the toxic S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothioic acid. The degradation rate constants were measured at four different temperatures (24-50 degrees C), which resulted in a linear Arrhenius relationship and an activation energy of 52 kJ mol(-1). This value agrees with previous values observed for VX hydrolysis in alkaline solutions, which suggests that the degradation of submonolayer VX is dominated by alkaline hydrolysis within the adventitious water film on the concrete surface.

Sleep characteristic of patients in intensive care unit (2010)

The dream, as a measure of sleep, is a uniform resting state of an organism, as opposed to the waking state, when man is awake. Sleep is characterized by low levels of physiological activity (blood pressure, respiration, heart rate) and a lower response to external stimuli. Night rest of patients admitted to intensive care is an issue of great importance in the process of health/disease, as it has a direct impact of their adequate recovery Intensive Care Units have been considered generating Revista Cubana de Enfermeria .2010; 26(2)44-51 http://scielo.sld.cu 45 45 stress due to this architecture and advanced technology, thus interacting with the appearance of cognitive symptoms by patients in conjunction with other factors have resulted in the ICU Syndrome . The aim of this review is to describe the factors that the influence the dreams of intensive care patients.
<title>Computerized atlas for functional stereotaxis</title> (1993)

Our original brain mapping techniques have been expanded so that MR and CT images can be displayed in a three-dimensionally simulated localization environment. Various combinations of MR images as well as CT images (or combinations of both and angiography) can be selectively displayed and viewed in three-dimensional stereotactic space. Data from the Talairach anatomical library, the architectonics of the atlases of Van Buren and Borke, Schaltenbrand and Bailey, Schaltenbrand and Wahren, and Brodmann's cortico-architectonics have been used to develop a detailed anatomical atlas library and brain mapping system based on brain reference structures common to each of these databases. The data in this mapping and imaging environment can be interrogated to create computerized anatomical displays showing any given functional anatomical region in two-dimensional displays or three-dimensional relief. This composite mapping system allows the interrogation and cross referencing of data from virtually any other brain mapping or localization system.
Complications of Laparoscopic Adrenal Surgery (2007)

This chapter focuses on potential complications of laparoscopic adrenalectomy. It addresses specific aspects of preoperative and postoperative management. Laparoscopic adrenal surgery is more complex than procedures such as pelvic lymphadenectomy, renal biopsy or varicocelectomy, and carries a different portfolio of complications. The dynamics of the pneumoperitoneum have the potential for multiple metabolic consequences. Pneumoperitoneum can cause decreased cardiac output, metabolic acidosis, secretion of vasopressin and catecholamines, and decreased urine volume. Patients with Cushing’s syndrome present unique risk factors because of the hypercortisolism brought about by their disease state. They are more prone to infectious and thromboembolic complications as well as respiratory distress and consequent anesthetic complications related to hypercapnia. Additional complications include pleural tear, Addisonian crisis, myocardial infarction, stroke, pneumonia, temporary relaxation of the abdominal wall, and temporary hypesthesia of the abdominal wall, chronic port site pain, multisystem organ failure, and gastrointestinal bleeds.
SU‐FF‐I‐04: A Comparison of Two Genetic Algorithms for Feature Selection in the Detection of Breast Cancers (2005)

Purpose: Features are usually extracted for separating breast cancers from normal areas in computer‐aided detection (CAD) on screening mammograms. Feature selection is an important step to select a best subset for achieving the best detection of breast cancers. Method and Materials: The study is to evaluate two genetic algorithms for feature selection for breast cancer detection. Normal regions of 512×512 pixels were extracted from normal mammograms, and abnormal regions of 512×512 pixels depicting breast cancers were extracted from cancer cases. A total of 86 features were extracted from each region, including 18 features from curvilinear structure analysis, 16 from texture analysis, 32 from Gabor filtering, and 20 from wavelet decomposition. Two genetic algorithms (GA), simple GA (SGA) and CHC, were used to select a subset of features. A linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used to classify cancer regions from normal regions with the selected feature subset. The performance was evaluated by using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis. We have tested these two feature selection methods on a dataset of 296 normal regions and 164 cancer regions (including 53 masses, 56 spiculated lesions and 55 microcalcifications) extracted from mammograms selected from DDSM database. Results: The overall ROC performance of SGA and LDA is A z =0.90, with comparison to A z =0.93 of CHC and LDA. Conclusion: We compared two genetic algorithms for feature selection. CHC performed better than SGA for the detection of breast cancers in the current study.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-Reply (1991)

<h3>In Reply. —</h3> We appreciate the interest our article has generated. Drs Chang and Bittner's approach of prospectively following up a large cohort of adult patients with primary EBV infection and assessing the frequency of subsequent chronic fatigue is of interest. Their definition of persistent fatigue (>2 months of malaise) markedly differs from the prolonged and persistent fatigue reported in our patients (mean duration, 40 months). We appreciate Drs Fletcher and Klimas' and Drs Hudson, Pope, and Goldenberg's observations demonstrating a similar psychological testing profile in their patients as was seen in ours. For what it is worth, the four patients we studied who met the Centers for Disease Control definition of chronic fatigue syndrome did not differ in their immunologic indexes from the 17 patients who did not meet the definition. We did not study CD4 subsets or interferon-α generation to EBV or other antigens to determine whether EBV
Medical ethnobotany of the Albanian Alps in Kosovo (2012)

The uses of 98 plants species belonging to 39 families were recorded; the most quoted botanical families were Rosaceae, Asteraceae, and Lamiaceae. Mainly decoctions and infusions were quoted as folk medicinal preparations and the most common uses referred to gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders, as well as illnesses of the uro-genital system. Among the most uncommon medicinal taxa quoted by the informants, Carduus nutans L., Echinops bannaticus Rochel ex Schrad., and Orlaya grandiflora Hoffm. may merit phytochemical and phytopharmacological investigations.Comparison of the data with other ethnobotanical field studies recently conducted on the Albanian and Montenegrin sides of the same Alps has shown a remarkable link between the medical ethnobotany of Montenegrin and Kosovar side of the Albanian Alps. Moreover, folk uses of the most quoted wild medicinal taxa recorded in Kosovo often include those recorded both in Albania and in Montenegro, thus suggesting a hybrid character of the Kosovar local plant knowledge. This may be also explained with the fact that Montenegro and Kosovo, despite their differences in the ethnic composition, have shared a common history during the last Century.
Improving Keywords Spotting Performance in Noise with Augmented Dataset from Vocoded Speech (2020)

While more and more electronic devices have an on-device speech recognition system, producing and deploying trained models for keyword(s) detection is becoming more and more demanding. The dataset preparation is one of the most challenging and tedious tasks in Keywords Spotting (KWS) since it requires a significant amount of time obtaining raw or segmented audio speeches. In this paper, we proposed a data augmentation strategy using a speech vocoder to artificially generate vocoded speech at different numbers of channels. A trained KWS system was first tested with vocoded speech and it showed consistent performance with studies from human subjects listening to vocoded speeches. Furthermore, the KWS system trained with the augmented dataset showed promising improvement evaluated at+10 dB SNR.

The detection of preclinical coronary artery disease in male subjects using the omnigram (1980)

The segregation of seemingly similar electrocardiogram data into two mutually exclusive classes can be achieved with a non-invasive procedure. Specifically, the problem of separating the electrocardiograms of preclinical-coronary subjects from those who are truly normal has been studied. In the current approach, the standard EKG waveform in its conventional linear format is transformed into a non-linear closed display, greatly improving the degree of visual perceptibility. In addition, specific non-dimensionalized parameters of the EKG waveform are extracted to produce a multivector spatial representation. The analysis of 129 cases indicates that this new technique results in a significantly higher degree of detection of preclinical coronary artery disease than current clinical methods. A prototype of a clinical system utilizing the output of an electrocardiograph has been developed for performing this analysis.
