Value of QRS fragmentation as novel electrocardiogram predictor of reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction patient

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The main target of treatment of STEMI is to restore coronary blood flow and maintain myocardial perfusion. Several tools including electrocardiographic and coronary angiographic parameters are used to assess myocardial reperfusion. Fragmented QRS is associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events, it was proved to bea marker of ventricular dysfunction and poor prognosis in STEMI. Aim of the work : To study the relation between QRS fragmentations and the degree of myocardial reperfusion in patients with STEMI treated with either fibrinolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary interventions (1ry PCI). Patients and methods: 100 subjects admitted with first attack of STEMI were included. Twelve leads ECGs were evaluated for QRS morphology, patients were randomized in two groups according to presence or absence of QRS fragmentation, F-QRS group included 35 patients and NF-QRS group included 65 patients. The following parameters were used to assess the success of coronary reperfusion; ST segment resolution, TIMI score, MBG score and cardiac enzymes resolution. Results: ST segment resolution score was significantly higher among NF-QRS t. NFQRS group had better MBG and TIMI scores compared to patients with F-QRS group. F-QRS was significantly associated with lower EF and higher Klipp score. CKmb was significantly higher among F-QRS group. Complications were significantly higher among patients with F-QRS. Conclusion: QRS fragmentation can be a reliable predictor of coronary reperfusion in patients with acute STEMI treated with primary PCI or thrombolytic therapy.
Ideas for Future Synchrotron Light Sources

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Synchrotron light sources have advanced in the past two-to-three decades through three ``generations,`` from irritating parasitic sources on high-energy physics accelerators to dedicated electron and position storage rings of unprecedented low emittance, utilizing undulator and wiggler magnets. The evolution through these three generations followed a predicable, science-driven, course towards brighter beams of VUV- and x-radiation. The requirements of future light sources is not so clear. The limit on how emittance has certainly not been reached, and diffraction-limited sources at shorter wavelengths would be the natural progression from previous generations. However, scientists are now looking at other radiation characteristics that might better serve their needs, for example, more coherent power, fast switching polarization, ultra-short (sub-picosecond) time structure, and synchronized beams for pump-probe experiments. This paper discusses some current ideas that might drive the fourth-generation synchrotron light source.
Using the Relevant Condition at Death (ReCoDe) classification system for Classifying Stillbirths in a Tertiary-Care Hospital

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To find the different causes of stillbirths at our institution, using the Relevant Condition at Death (ReCoDe) classification system. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study that included 421 cases, complicated by stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lady Reading Hospital, between January to December 2021. A structured proforma was used to gather data on their age, gestation, booking status, parity, mode of delivery, fetal weight, body mass index, maternal diabetes, pre-eclampsia, thyroid dysfunction, and the information related to stillborn babies, and findings of placental and umbilical cord examination. Results: The stillbirth rate in the Obstetrics department during the study period was53 per 1000 births. About 78.4% of cases were coded after the application of ReCoDe classification, while 21.61% of cases were labeled as unexplained.The majority of the cases were in the age group 18-35 years, 205 (48.6%), with most women having a spontaneous vaginal delivery, 321 (76.2%), un-booked status, 353 (83.8%), and a BMI >30, 251 (59.6%). The fetal causes were most common,144 (34.20%), with fetal growth restriction contributing to the most common fetal cause, 101 (23.99%). Maternal causes contributed to 99 (23.5%) of stillbirths, with pre-eclampsia the most commonly associated maternal condition, 36 (8.55%). Conclusion: Classification of stillbirths using ReCoDe classification is simple and, practical to use, especially in low-resource settings, with the ability to identify underlying cause in the majority of cases
Conservation and dissemination of painted architecture: Technological challenges in the city of Malaga (Spain)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The painted architectures constitute an urban landscape that has been altered over time and the successive accumulation of planning and management instruments that have addressed them, be they General Urban Planning Plans or Special Protection Plans, which, although they have made possible the guarantee for prolong their existence, they have not always the capacity to make this valuable heritage known. The research we present lies in the inclusion of New Technologies inin the baroque-painted architecture of Malaga to publicise the cultural heritage in an applied way, qualify urban environments, and promote recognition of the cultural value of the city. The conservation of the mural paintings, their influence on colour plans, and the didactics and new technologies incorporated into the discourse of cultural tourism are the elements that constitute the axes on which our work is based. We propose to create a transversal discourse encompassing the cultural legacy of baroque-painted architecture in a highly modified urban landscape subject to the demands that mark contemporary dynamics. On the other hand, it is evident that the planning of a quality cultural tourism development model must keep in mind the principles of quality and sustainability, contributing to the maintenance and conservation of cultural heritage, avoiding the deterioration of cultural assets, and respecting conditions of habitability. Our case study and project apply to the painted architecture of Malaga. They are the result of the project awarded to the HUM1050 research group of the University of Seville in collaboration with the architecture studio 360BIM in 2022.
Neonatal Sacrococcygeal Teratoma: Our Experience with 10 Cases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To analyse the outcome of neonatal sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCT) in our setup.Hospital records of 10 neonates, who were operated for SCT during 14 years time period, were retrieved and analysed. Letters were sent to 6 parents/ caretakers of children who were lost to follow up; none of them responded.Seven girls and 3 boys with a mean age of 9 days (range 1-30 days) underwent excision of SCT in the neonatal period. Antenatal pickup rates were poor (2/10). Two patients presented with tumor rupture. Though all had an obvious mass at birth, only half of them presented on day 1 of life. The remaining 5 patients came late at a mean age of 11 days. Half of the SCTs were 10 cm or larger in size. One patient was misdiagnosed as meningomyelocoele. All underwent complete excision with coccygectomy by posterior approach in prone position. There were only 2 patients who could be classified as Altman Type II, the rest were all Altman Type I. Histopathology (HPE) revealed mature cystic teratoma (n=8), grade 1 immature teratoma (n=1) and grade 3 immature teratoma (n=1). There was no mortality; and complications were seen in 3/10 patients (1 neurogenic bladder, 1 major wound infection with ventriculitis and 1 minor wound infection). The mean follow up was 25 months (range 1 month to 6 years) in 4 patients with no recurrence.Neonatal SCTs are usually benign with a good outcome after complete surgical excision with a low complication rate. Although long term follow up has been advocated, the follow up was poor in this series.
Effects of zoledronate (Z) on bone mineral density (BMD) among African Americans (AA) with advanced prostate cancer, without skeletal metastases, receiving androgen ablation therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

16031 Background: Bone health is a particular concern for patients undergoing androgen ablation for treatment of prostate cancer, as it has been known to cause bone loss. These issues are especially important in AA, who present with higher rates of advanced disease and are more likely to choose androgen ablation therapy than white patients. Bisphosophonates, such as Zoledronate (Z), are often used by cancer patients who experience bone metastases. We evaluated the effects of Ca/Vitamin D ± Z on skeletal related events and BMD on AA and white prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen ablation therapy. Methods: Prostate cancer patients receiving at least 3 months of androgen ablation were eligible. Exclusion criteria: Use of bisphosphonates in last 12 months, abnormal liver/kidney function, or prior bone disease. 42 patients were randomized, 51% of which are AA. Patients on the Z arm received 4 mg IV infusion of Z q 3 months over one year. Bone densities were evaluated at baseline and 13 months. Results: Interim analysis is available for patients who have completed the study as of Jan 2008. Three patients were taken off the study (one due to secondary cancer, two due to patient withdrawal). One patient withdrew due to jaw pain; follow up did not identify osteonecrosis. Two patients had lesions that may have been bone metastases; follow up testing was inconclusive. Patients treated with Z had higher BMD scores than control group patients. AA patients treated with Z also showed increased BMD values at 13 months. Conclusions: Z appears to have a positive effect on BMD in AA men with prostate cancer, an effect potentially more beneficial than previously reported for white men with prostate cancer. AA men with prostate cancer receiving long term androgen ablation should be considered for Z therapy to improve bone health. % Change in BMD All Control (C) All w/Z AA (C) AA w/Z Non AA (C) Non AA w/Z Lumbar Spine 0.75* 4.29* 2.53 3.76 -1.53* 5.08* Hip -2.39* 0.96* -1.19 0.77 -3.96* 1.26* Femur -0.90** 3.51* -1.77** 6.13* 0.23 -0.40 * = p value <.05, ** = .05–1.0 Author Disclosure Employment or Leadership Consultant or Advisory Role Stock Ownership Honoraria Research Expert Testimony Other Remuneration Amgen, Novartis Oncology, sanofi-aventis
Expression Analysis of Candidate Genes in Common Vetch (Vicia sativa L.) Under Drought Stress

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Vicia sativa L. , an annual winter growing leguminous plant, is a valuable source of protein and minerals for cattle. Drought is one of the key stress factors that influence plant growth and development. In order to investigate common vetch physiological and molecular responses under Normal irrigation (N) and two levels of drought stress [S 1= 30% and S 2= 10% Field Capacity (FC)], a greenhouse experiment was carried out on two genotypes, namely, Mahalimaraghe and 41, and some physiological traits [e.g. Relative Water Content (RWC), Electro Leakage (EL), total protein, chlorophyll (a, b), and carotenoid content] were measured and expression patterns of three genes (sod, aq1 and bzip) were evaluated by real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Results showed that expression pattern of all three genes and physiological responses had significantly changed in response to the stress . The highest increase in the expression of each of the three genes was observed in Mahalimaraghe genotype in S 1 condition compared to N. In contrast, under S 2 condition compared to N, the highest increase in expression of the three genes was observed in genotype 41. In comparison of S 2 with S1, the highest changes in expression of all the three genes was observed in Mahalimaraghe genotype. All together , the obtained results may facilitate the understanding of molecular mechanism of V. sativa in response to drought stress, and also provide the basis of effective genetic engineering strategies for improving stress tolerance of V. sativa .
Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Study of Antimony Pentachloride and Its Phase Transition

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A phase transition was found in solid antimony pentachloride at 212°K by the nuclear quadrupole resonance and the differential thermal analysis. In the high temperature solid phase, five resonance lines were observed that were all assigned to antimony resonances and that were dependent on temperature only slightly. The quadrupole coupling constant of 121Sb was 84.54±0.01 MHz (asymmetry η=1.0±0.3%). Chlorine resonances were not detected above the transition point. In the low temperature phase, many resonance lines were observed due both to chlorine and antimony; the latter gave the coupling constant for 121Sb 186.43±0.03 MHz (η=79.54±0.02%) and 172.8±0.3 MHz (η=79.2±0.3%). There are two nonequivalent sites for antimony. The structure in the two solid phases was suggested as being trigonal bipyramidal above 212°K and a dimerized Sb2Cl10 bridged by two chlorine atoms with hexa-coordinated antimony atoms below 212°K.
The Impact of Top Management Team Heterogeneity on Environmental, Social, and Governance Performance and Corporate Green Innovation: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Companies

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In the context of global climate change and resource scarcity, corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, as well as corporate green innovation, have emerged as pivotal drivers for fostering sustainable development. The heterogeneity of the top management team (TMT) significantly influences the direction and effectiveness of both ESG performance and corporate green innovation. Drawing on upper echelon theory, information decision-making theory, and social categorization theory, this paper conducts an empirical study using a sample of 314 manufacturing enterprises and employs multiple linear regression analysis to uncover the impact of TMT heterogeneity on corporate green innovation and the mediating role of ESG performance. The findings from this research suggest that TMT heterogeneity exerts a notable positive influence on green innovation (including green technological innovation and green product innovation), and that ESG performance plays a partial mediating role between TMT heterogeneity and green innovation. This research enriches the theoretical foundation of corporate green innovation from the perspective of TMT heterogeneity and offers pertinent suggestions for enterprises to advance their green innovation development.
Diapause and quiescence in Lutzomyia diabolica (Diptera:Psychodidae).

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Gravid, laboratory-reared Lutzomyia diabolica from Garner State Park, Texas, oviposited from May to December in an outdoor colony cage at Gainesville, Florida. Egg batches contained 100% fast-developing (nondiapause) eggs, a mixture of fast-developing and slow-developing (diapause) eggs, or 100% slow-developing eggs, depending on the time of year laid. The percent diapause eggs per batch increased from 0% in early October to 100% by December. These observations suggest that Lu. diabolica is a long-day species, depositing diapause eggs in response to shorter day length. Temperature may also modify the degree of diapause response by altering the calendar position of the critical day length. Termination of the winter diapause is probably temperature dependent. Quiescence was observed in 3rd and 4th stage larvae in both indoor and outdoor cultures and was usually associated with adverse conditions such as excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or poor diet.
Legislative impact on the fight against Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in The Gambia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Over 200 million women and girls alive today have been victims of Female Geni-tal Mutilation / Cutting, and another 3,6 million are at risk every year. This tradi-tional practice is widespread and has gained a lot of attention from Non-governmental organizations, scholars and medical professionals around the world, stating warnings about the harmful effects. Yet, the prevalence and continuance are still not regressing in a desirable rate. Many countries have enacted legislative actions against the practice, among these countries is the West African nation of The Gambia. The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine and analyse what experiences and perceptions NGOs in The Gambia have with using legislative ac-tion against FGM /C, how their work has changed due to the legislation as well as examine their perception on local community attitudes towards the law. This has been done using the theories of Cultural Relativism vs Universalism and through selected concepts within Hofstede's Theory of Cultural Dimensions. This study will theorise what happens when a law representing western norms and values gets implemented in a society where culture, traditions and the collective group is high-ly important. Our findings show that The Gambia, in particularly local communi-ties, holds a strong cultural relativistic mentality and is characterized by a collec-tivistic culture in which the power distance is high. This society puts emphasis on collective identity, solidarity and collective decisions as well as traditional heritage and cultural values. Implementing a law that promotes western values thus brings problems and a lack of efficiency.
Shakespeare and the Continental Avant-Garde through García Lorca’s El público (1930)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

El público (The Public) emerged in the context of Federico Garcia Lorca's productive trip to America (1929–30). Probably conceived in New York, then written primarily in Cuba, and completed in Spain in the summer of 1930, this experimental play, crafted by Lorca through the theatrical languages of the avant-garde, constructs an elusive exploration of patriarchy and homophobia. The influence of Pirandello, Jarry and the Surrealists is palpable in what constituted a radical turn in Lorca's dramatic style, yet it is Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet that provided Lorca with a visible intertext through which to voice his challenge to the boundaries of gender identity and his critique of socially-established gender roles and sexual practices in the 1930s. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet will be performed as a transgressively innovatory piece of drama by the metatheatrical characters at the end of El público. However, before postulating a new conception of its action, character, dialogue and visuals, Romeo and Juliet is first presented at the beginning of the play as an example of the fossilization of theatre. Lorca's experimental work first treats Shakespeare as an emblem of outdated drama, and then transforms one of his works into a source for theatrical renewal.
Effect of Cohesive Contact of Backfill with Arch and Spandrel Walls of a Historical Masonry Arch Bridge on Seismic Response

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Historical masonry bridges generally consist of arches, spandrels walls, backfills, piers and foundations. Under the effects such as earthquake, flood and wind, the most vulnerable structural elements of bridges against out-of-plane seismic motions are spandrel walls. Increasing length and height of spandrel walls increases the vulnerability of the bridge under loads in vertical and transverse directions. The aim of this research is to examine the in-plane and out-of-plane non-linear structural responses of the spandrel walls of a historical masonry bridge. For this purpose, a historical masonry arch bridge with built in 1787 in Bartın-Turkey was chosen as the subject structure. The 3D finite element model and nonlinear seismic analyses of the bridge were performed with ABAQUS. Initially, the backfill-spandrels and backfill-arch interfaces of the bridge were modeled with and without cohesive contact. The non-linear material responses of the spandrel walls and the arch units were defined using Concrete Damage Plasticity material model and those of the backfill unit were defined with Mohr-Coulomb material model. The east-west component of 17 August 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake’s acceleration records was used in the analyses. The east-west acceleration component was applied on the bridge in-plane and out-of-plane directions during the time-history non-linear seismic analysis of the bridge. The results obtained from the analyses with and without the consideration of cohesive contact were compared to evaluate the seismic responses of the spandrel walls. As a result, cohesive interface behavior was found to significantly affect the spandrel wall response under in- plane and out-of-plane seismic forces.
Analysis of the Mechanism of Soil Cutting : 2nd Report. Deformation and Internal Stress of Soil in Cutting

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Deformation and distribution of internal stresses in soil cutting are analyzed by experiment. The variable parameters are kinds of soils (dry quartz sand and plastic loam) and cutting conditions (cutting angle, cutting depth of cut and cutting speed). Sand always shows shear type of chip, and loam generally shows flow type. In both kinds of soils, a flat shear-plane appears. And the angle of shear-plane is smaller as the cutting angle increases. The distribution of internal stresses in soil is measured by internal stress cells. Its idealized pattern is as follows. The maximum principal stress trajectories (compressive) issue in parallel from the surface of cutting blade. Only the trajectories which issue from the cutting edge diverge abruptly. The minimum principal stress in front and lower parts of cutting edge is negative (tensile) under certain circumstances. Many kinds of cutting phenomena and important things for earth-moving machines are explanied from the conception of internal stress.
Algorithm for Management of Mandibular Condylar Base Fractures

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that open reduction and internal fixation of condylar base fractures in adults results in improved outcomes in regard to interincisal opening, jaw movement, pain, and malocclusion. However, most of the condylar fractures are managed by maxillomandibular fixation alone due to the need for specialized training and equipment. Our aim was to present an algorithm for condylar base fractures to simplify surgical management. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients (n = 22) with condylar base fractures treated from 2016 to 2020. Patients who presented with operative fractures that require open treatment underwent 1 of 2 different techniques depending on the fracture type: a preauricular approach with a transoral approach if the condyle was dislocated (n = 2) or a transoral only approach (n = 20) in nondislocated cases. Operative time, occlusion, range of motion, and postoperative complications were assessed. Results: Condylar base fractures were combined with other mandibular fractures in 16 of 22 patients. Patients with condylar dislocation were managed with a preauricular approach with a secondary transoral incision (n = 2, median 147 minutes). Those without dislocation were treated with a transoral approach (n = 20, median 159 minutes). Most patients were restored to their preoperative occlusion without long-term complications. Conclusions: We present a simplified algorithm for treating condylar base fractures. Our case series suggests that reduction in operative time and clinical success can be achieved with open reduction and internal fixation using a transoral approach alone or in combination with a preauricular approach for dislocated fractures.
