[Current perspectives on gestational diabetes mellitus].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Gestational diabetes mellitus is an heterogeneous and complex disease that involves the maternal biological system, placental tissue and the fetus. It is characterized by glucose intolerance, "first met or recognized in pregnancy." In our country its frequency is around 7%. Important progress has been made in the systematization of diagnostics and treatment, allowing for preventive management of short- and long-term complications for mother and her offspring. Optimum management is to keep at "low risk" maternal glucemic levels, and so to break the future cycle of gestational diabetes mellitus becoming definitive diabetes mellitus.
Perceived organizational politics, emotional intelligence and work outcomes

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose – This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived organizational politics and emotional intelligence, and their interplay in the context of work attitudes/behaviors. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 368 employees was used to test a mediation effect of perceived organizational politics on the relationship between emotional intelligence on the one hand, and job satisfaction, turnover intentions and negligent behavior on the other. Findings – Perceived organizational politics was found to mediate the relationship between emotional intelligence and all three outcomes. Practical implications – Emotional intelligence training may be a powerful tool that organizations and human resource managers can employ to reduce perceived organizational politics and enhance work attitudes and performance. Originality/value – This research broadens the scope through which the intersection between emotion and organizational politics can be viewed, taking it beyond the role of both felt emotion and affective disposition. The findings show that emotional intelligence directly affects perceptions of politics, and indirectly affects employees' work attitudes and behaviors, through a mediation effect of perceived politics.
Current concepts in the treatment of radial head fractures in the adult. A clinical and biomechanical approach.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The treatment of simple radial head fractures type Mason-Hotchkiss 1 and 2 is unequivocal. In the case of a displacement of less than 2 mm (Mason-Hotchkiss 1), functional conservative treatment is indicated. If the displacement is more than 2 mm (Mason-Hotchkiss 2) internal fixation is indicated, combined with treatment of the soft-tissue injuries. The treatment of comminuted radial head fractures Mason-Hotchkiss type 3 is more controversial, as they are usually associated with ligament injuries. Conservative treatment appears to have unsatisfactory results. Opinions differ on surgical treatment, i.e. 1) excision of the radial head; 2) reconstruction by means of internal fixation; 3) excision and reconstruction with a prosthesis. Basic experimental research on human cadaver elbows shows the importance of the conservation of the radial head, especially in case of associated soft tissue injuries. In most cases a stable osteosynthesis is impossible, and in case of associated ligament disruptions, resection and reconstruction by means of a rigid radial head prosthesis should be considered. Experimental research demonstrates promising results for rigid radial head prostheses in human cadaver elbows with a resected radial head and failing medical collateral ligament. Short-term clinical studies seem to confirm this, but long-term results are as yet unknown.
Target image tracking using a nonlinear filter based on Pontryagin minimum principle

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The major contribution of this technical note is the introduction of a new nonlinear filter, based on Pontryagin minimum principle and the method of invariant imbedding, as applied to spatial filtering of FLIR image sequences. This filler is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each frame. The target center is then estimated using different approaches. It is shown, through Monte Carlo simulation, that the proposed methods improve the accuracy of the estimate of the target center by 100 pecent on the average, compared to the correlation algorithm.
The Australian Continent: a Numerical Model of its Electrical Conductivity Structure, and Electromagnetic Response

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Electromagnetic induction, commonly associated in exploration geophysics with applied source fields, takes place on continental and global scales. At these scales it is driven by natural magnetic fluctuations which arise external to the Earth. These magnetic fluctuations, and the secondary signals which they induce within the Earth, are measured at permanent magnetic observatories, “roving” temporary magnetic observatories, and at magnetotelluric field sites. Such observed data contain information on the electrical conductivity structure of the Earth, and are a major source of geophysical information. The global induction process is of such a magnitude that it could not be generated using applied source fields.An electrical conductivity model of the Australian continent with its surrounding oceans has been constructed numerically, for the purpose of examining its response to natural magnetic fluctuations. This paper first presents the continental response plotted as Parkinson arrows, for period 1 hour. Parkinson arrows summarize the behaviour of the three components of the Earth’s fluctuating magnetic field, and for the model show particularly the coast effect. The coast effect arises most strongly at the continental edge, and penetrates far into the continent. There are also secondary effects within the continent, which arise due to electrical conductivity changes associated with geological boundaries. The present exercise models continental geological structures in a regional sense; their improved definition on a local scale, both in the field and by modelling, is an important and major exercise for the future.The response of the continental model has also been computed in terms of magnetotelluric impedance values, which take into account the electric fields occurring at the Earth’s surface. Such impedance values are presented for six particular sites, using a Mohr circle method to display their characteristics. Generally the magnetotelluric data complement the pattern shown by the Parkinson arrows. They also give extra information on the regional distortion which may be expected for data observed on the Australian continent. The character of the Mohr circles indicates that the magnetotelluric “skew” caused regionally is small at the period of 1 hour, and that generally the computed impedances are two-dimensional (2D) In character. Such a predominantly 2D pattern for regional magnetotelluric impedances gives optimism for the interpretation of observed magnetotelluric data. Observed data for higher frequencies may be expected to be more affected by local distortion and more 3D in character; however knowledge that regional effects are 2D allows the use of decomposition techniques which are based upon local 3D effects perturbing a regional 2D pattern.
Original article Computational screening of phytochemicals for finding potential inhibitor against C/EBPβ and PPARγ

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Nowadays, epidemic of obesity become pandemic worldwide and both C/EBP and PPAR played a crucial role in adipogenesis, insulin sensitization, and glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism.The main objective of this computational study is to identify the drug like molecule, having antiadipogenesis properties and serve as potential inhibitor against C/EBP and PPAR.In the present study, molecular docking was performed by AutoDock Vina suit.A total of 148 flavonoid compounds were selected for the study and small molecule database created for virtual screening in order to find out new small drug like compound as potential antiadipogenesis agent.The crystal structure of C/EBP and PPAR was retrieved from protein data bank and their active sites were predicted and a nalyzed.Molecular docking was carried out and results showed tha t compounds epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), theaflavine and curcumin had good interaction with both the inhibitors.Further, toxicity analysis had been done and it was found that screened hits did not had any toxic effect, so screened phytochemicals can be used as potent target candidate drugs.The cu rrent in silic o study concludes tha t flavonoids deriva tives can potentia lly inhibit C/EBP and PPAR inhibitors and further in vitro and in vivo investigations confirmed its therapeutic potential.Perceptions after this study indicated that these novel phytochemicals could act as potentia l partial antagonist agents and serve a s new antiadipogenesis drug after fu rther investigation.
52. Cardiac injury in infants with acute gastroenteritis: Is it ischemia or rota associated carditis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Reports suggested that rotavirus could be found in extra-intestinal tissues including the heart following infection and fatal rotavirus myocarditis has been recently reported in 2 children. We hypothesized that rotavirus may have a direct injurious effect on the myocardium of infants and this injury can be detected by the presence of cardiac troponin I (TnI). Methods: Over 8 weeks period, 50 of 150 infants(5–18 months) with acute gastroenteritis were found to have human rotavirus (HRV) gastroenteritis with rotavirus antigenemia. Sera of 150 infants were analyzed for TnI. If TnI value was above the screening limit (0.05 ng/ml), electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac ultrasound were performed. Infants with primary conditions associated with elevated TnI were excluded. Results: Thirty four infants (22.6%) had elevated TnI (0.06–2.5 ng/ml), 16 (47%) of them had HRV-GE (p = 0.054). However, none of them had any sign of myocarditis or ischemia in their ECG or cardiac ultrasound scan and their TnI levels normalized within 24–72 h after correction of dehydration. Infants less than 1 year ,and those with dehydration, anemia or acidosis were more prone to have elevated cTnI (p = 0.008, 0.009, 0.006, 0.001, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression analysis, showed that severe dehydration and acidosis are still significantly associated with elevated TnI levels (adjusted OR, 95% CI = 22.9, 2.19–239 and 20.76, 6.15–70, respectively. Conclusion: Our study is the first pediatric study to show that myocardial injury occurs in infants with gastroenteritis and this injury was precipitated by transient ischemia which may go unnoticed on the ECG. However, we could not document rotavirus myocarditis
Robot‐assisted surgical care delivery at a hospital: Policies for maximizing clinical outcome benefits and minimizing costs

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Robot‐assisted surgery is a major advancement in minimally invasive surgical care delivery. It allows surgeons to gain additional dexterity, improved precision in surgical tasks, enhanced three‐dimensional vision of the surgical field, and superior accessibility to the surgical field. Notwithstanding the clinical outcome benefits (such as reduced blood loss and surgical duration, and shorter length‐of‐stay at a hospital), the cost of performing robot‐assisted surgery is significantly high, due to the investments needed for robot acquisition, maintenance, and procurement of surgical accessories. In this study, we address the twin objectives of a hospital where robot‐assisted surgery is performed: maximize the clinical outcome benefits and minimize the total cost of robot‐assisted surgery. The surgical robot that is the focus of the study is a da Vinci surgical system. The surgical procedure that serves as the context of this study is hysterectomy. We demonstrate the application of an integrated methodological approach—combining empirical analysis involving an on‐site, prospective investigation at a hospital and retrospective analysis of archival data from the hospital for robustness checks, analytical modeling, and discrete event simulation—to identify and analyze actionable policies that a hospital can implement. The specific policies we analyze are related to: (a) patient triaging for robot‐assisted surgery based on the criticality of disease condition of a patient; (b) the optimal size of surgeon pool to facilitate the development of surgeon experience and learning; and (c) the minimum experience level of a surgeon with a robot needed to be included in the surgeon pool for robot‐assisted surgery. The key contributions of this article are in demonstrating the following: First, hospital‐level policies can help to realize both the clinical outcome and cost benefits of a surgical robot. Second, the criticality of patient condition is a significant determinant of surgeon learning in robot‐assisted surgery. Third, application of the proposed integrated methodological approach can yield nuanced and actionable insights into an operational setting where data availability is limited and generalizability of study insights is a concern, as is the case in this study.

Late occurrence of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy after anti‐CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a life‐threatening infection of the central nervous system in immunocompromised patients, with an established predilection in non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and stem cell transplant recipients. In the era of chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapy (CAR T‐cell), the occurrence of new‐onset neurological symptoms and encephalopathy in this patient population can be attributed to a variety of factors, including therapy‐related neurotoxicity or disease progression. PML has not been implicated as a common cause of encephalopathy in CAR T‐cell therapy recipients, and the identification of such rare infections is important to guide prognosis and treatment decisions. We hereby report the first case of late occurrence of PML, over one year after CAR T‐cell therapy, for a patient with relapsed large B‐cell lymphoma.
A refined model of concrete carbonation by coupling of multi-factors

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<p>Studies on carbonation of concrete play an important role in accurately predicting the service life. However, most research work on carbonation of concrete was carried out in qualitative ways and seldom in quantitative ways. In this paper, based on conservation of mass of C3S(s), C2S(s), CSH(s), CH(s), CH(aq), CO2(aq) and CO2(g) and one-dimensional diffusion and reaction equation, a refined mathematical model of concrete carbonation composed of a series of partial differential equations (PDEs) was built. Corresponding MATLAB codes were developed with calculus of differences to solve the mathematical model of concrete carbonation.</p><p>The results of the mathematical models in this paper agree very well with measurements, which show that this model can be used to accurately predict concrete carbonation as well as remaining service life of concrete bridges and other concrete structures.</p>
Reconfiguration for programmable ASIC arrays

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In an approach recently proposed for the yield enhancement of programmable gate arrays (PGAs), an initial placement of a circuit is first obtained using a standard technique such as simulated annealing on a defect-free PGA. In the next step this placement is reconfigured so that the circuit is mapped onto the defect-free portion of a defective PGA chip with the same architecture. We first provide a graph theoretical formulation of the reconfiguration aspect of this approach. Based upon this formulation, we present three efficient algorithms. The first one optimally reconfigures the I/O buffers located on the periphery of a programmable array. The remaining algorithms are used as heuristics to reconfigure the gates located within a PGA and the processors within wafer scale integrated processor array. We evaluate the heuristic algorithms using the measure of routability and total wire length of the reconfigured placement of the circuit. Based on this evaluation, we establish good reconfiguration strategies.
Quorum sensing orchestrates parallel cell death pathways in Vibrio cholerae via Type 6 secretion-dependent and -independent mechanisms

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication process that enables bacteria to coordinate group behaviors. In Vibrio cholerae colonies, a program of spatial-temporal cell death is among the QS-controlled traits. Cell death occurs in two phases, first along the colony rim, and subsequently, at the colony center. Both cell death phases are driven by the type 6 secretion system (T6SS). Here, we show that HapR, the master QS regulator, does not control t6ss gene expression nor T6SS-mediated killing activity. Nonetheless, a Δ hapR strain displays no cell death at the colony rim. RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analyses reveal that HapR activates expression of an operon containing four genes of unknown function, vca0646-0649. Epistasis and overexpression studies show that two of the genes, vca0646 and vca0647 , are required to drive cell death in both a Δ hapR and a Δ hapR Δ t6ss strain. Thus, vca0646 - 0649 are regulated by HapR but act independently of the T6SS machinery to cause cell death, suggesting that a second, parallel pathway to cell death exists in V. cholerae .
Do Ideas Matter in Strategic Choices Made by Organizations? An Empirical Work on the Participation of Agricultural Organizations to the Political Making Process in Costa Rica

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The new institutional economics has recently developed the idea that the institutional environment can have an impact on economic actors' mental perceptions, and reciprocally, that these perceptions can impact on the institutional environment. This latter point seems particularly relevant in the field of economic organisations participation in the political making process. Nevertheless the empirical description of this role of mental perceptions in the political behaviour had not been made clearly. To contribute to this empirical description we lead a comparative study of 4 farm sectors in Costa Rica, based on a dynamic approach of mental perceptions in relation with the institutional change occurring during the liberalisation process. We carry out a statistical analysis of mental perceptions through a textual analysis of actors perceptions of the institutional change, leading to two main conclusions. Firstly we provide an empirical confirmation that mental models are influenced by specific institutional environments and lead to different strategies regarding the participation to the political making process. Secondly, we show that when an exogenous change occurs in the institutional environment, the mental models existing before the change can persist and lead to inefficient behaviours. This can partly explain part of the difficulties some sectors to lead efficient political activity that ensures their survival in a liberalized environment.

Cytoscape application for predicting missing links in protein interaction networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In the area of bio-Informatics, recent research has suggested that an entire protein proteome seems to be more highly interconnected than what was initially expected; hence looking at the proteome as a whole seems to be able to offer more information than just focusing on one protein on its own. However it was also noted that current knowledge of the interactome is both incomplete and noisy. Thus, it will be beneficial if there is a method devised to generate a possible architecture structure for the entire network. This project will look into the research paper “Resolving the Structure of interactomes with Hierarchical agglomerative clustering” as it proposes a method, HAC, which is described as being able to predict the missing links through identifying groups to be merged and clustered together. Based on the algorithm, we will be able to generate a possible architecture for protein interactions and hence providing a more complete picture of the interactome. The algorithm will be broken down, analysed and then implemented in this project. On top of implementing the algorithm, a Cytoscape plugin will be developed to implement the above mentioned algorithm and its expected to aid in predicting the new proteins from an existing network. The predicted proteins will then be displayed in Cytoscape as a hierarchical graph of binary tree.This visualization of graph hopes to be able to further enhance the user understanding and aid in their analytical work of studying the networks better. The plugin is coded in java on the Cytoscape environment, as a Maven project.
