Two-Year whey protein supplementation did not enhance muscle mass and physical function in Well-Nourished healthy older postmenopausal women

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Protein may play a role in preventing muscle loss with aging. To our knowledge, there have been no long-term randomized controlled trials to examine the effects of increased dietary protein intake on muscle health in community-dwelling older women. \n \nObjective: In this study, we evaluated the effects of whey protein supplementation on muscle mass and physical function in community-dwelling older Australian women. \n \nMethods: In this 2 y randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, women aged 70–80 y (mean 74.3 ± 2.7 y) were randomly assigned to either a high protein drink containing 30 g of whey protein (n = 109) or a placebo drink containing 2.1 g protein (n = 110) daily. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry appendicular skeletal muscle mass, upper arm and calf (38% tibia) muscle cross-sectional area, physical function including hand grip strength, lower limb muscle strength and Timed Up and Go test, and 24 h urinary nitrogen were measured at baseline, 1 y, and 2 y. \n \nResults: A total of 196 women with at least one follow-up measurement were included in this analysis. Baseline mean BMI was 26.7 ± 3.9 kg/m2 and protein intake was 76 ± 17 g/d (1.1 ± 0.3 g · kg body weight−1 · d−1). A mean increase in protein intake of ∼20 g/d in the protein group was confirmed by the estimates from 24 h urinary nitrogen. Over the 2 y in both groups there was a significant decrease in the upper arm (mean ± SE: −5.59 ± 0.75 cm2) and calf (−0.77 ± 0.11 cm2) muscle area, as well as hand grip strength (−1.30 ± 0.3 kg) (all P < 0.05), but appendicular skeletal muscle mass did not change significantly. There were no significant effects of the protein intervention on any of the muscle mass or physical function measures (all P > 0.05) at 1 and 2 y. \n \nConclusion: This study showed that in protein-replete, healthy, ambulant, postmenopausal older women, 30 g/d of extra protein did not improve the maintenance of muscle mass or physical function despite evidence of deterioration in muscle measurements in the upper limb. This trial was registered at the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry as ACTRN012607000163404.
Caregiver perceptions of inclusive playgrounds targeting toddlers and preschoolers with disabilities: has recent international and national policy improved overall satisfaction?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of the current study was to survey and interview caregivers of children with disabilities (ages 2–5 years) to obtain their input as to whether current playground equipment meets their child's needs. A total of 149 participants agreed to participate. Caregivers (i) indicated that their child with a disability could not fully participate in the playground's offerings, (ii) felt that the playground was not appropriate for their child with a disability and (iii) dreamed of a fully inclusive playground that met their child's needs. The results also demonstrate that social participation barriers continue to remain for families who have children with disabilities despite the passing of international human rights standards targeting individuals with disabilities and a global focus in improving the overall well‐being of children with disabilities.
Adaptive stabilization for uncertain hyperbolic PDE‐ODE cascade systems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This paper is devoted to the adaptive stabilization for uncertain hyperbolic PDE‐ODE cascade systems. Remarkably, unknown spatially varying and unknown constant parameters exist in the PDE and ODE subsystems, respectively. This brings essential difficulties in the design of compensator and boundary controller, and in the involved performance analysis. To solve the control problem, an infinite‐dimensional backstepping transformation (simplified as IDBT) and its inverse are first introduced to change the original system into a new system (called target system). Then, a state‐feedback boundary controller is constructed for the target system by incorporating the adaptive technique based on projection operator, which can guarantee the desirable stability of the resulting closed‐loop system. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controller.
BIM-Integrated Construction Safety Risk Assessment at the Design Stage of Building Projects

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The construction industry has a higher rate of work accidents than other industries. As a proactive approach to safety management, Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD) can significantly eliminate or reduce construction safety risks. This method consists of three indices namely Likelihood, Consequence and Exposure. Likelihood and consequence index of 19 construction jobs using 2018 injury and death data. Only 4 types of work are shown in this case. The findings conclude that the index of relative mortality frequency (RFI) of roofers (47-2180) and the index of relative frequency of day-going injuries (RDAIFI) of construction workers (47-2060) are relatively high. In addition, construction equipment operators relative day-to-day injury severity (RDAIS) rates (47–2070) are 3.3 times that of roof operators (47–2180). These results validate that using plug-ins in Revit can quickly calculate the construction safety risks of various design plans in a very short time and show that the plug-ins developed have very good engineering application value.
Potential Side Effects and Adverse Events of Antipsychotic Use for Residents With Dementia in Assisted Living: Implications for Prescribers, Staff, and Families

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Antipsychotic medications are frequently prescribed to assisted living (AL) residents who have dementia, although there is a lack of information about the potential side effects and adverse events of these medications among this population. Oversight and monitoring by family members is an important component of AL care, and it is important to understand family awareness of antipsychotic use and reports of potential side effects and adverse events. This cross-sectional, descriptive study of family members of 283 residents with dementia receiving antipsychotic medications in 91 AL communities found high rates (93%) of symptoms that could be potential side effects and a 6% rate of potential adverse events. The majority of families were aware their relative was taking an antipsychotic. Findings suggest that obtaining family perspectives of potential side effects and adverse events related to medication use may contribute to overall improvement in the safety of AL residents living with dementia.
Extended Supersymmetric BMS$_3$ algebras and Their Free Field Realisations

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We study $N=(2,4,8)$ supersymmetric extensions of the three dimensional BMS algebra (BMS$_3$) with most generic possible central extensions. We find that $N$-extended supersymmetric BMS$_3$ algebras can be derived by a suitable contraction of two copies of the extended superconformal algebras. Extended algebras from all the consistent contractions are obtained by scaling left-moving and right-moving supersymmetry generators symmetrically, while Virasoro and R-symmetry generators are scaled asymmetrically. On the way, we find that the BMS/GCA correspondence does not in general hold for supersymmetric systems. Using the $β$-$γ$ and the ${\mathfrak b}$-${\mathfrak c}$ systems, we construct free field realisations of all the extended super-BMS$_3$ algebras.
Sodium levels of human pancreatic donors are a critical factor for determination of islet efficacy and survival

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Organs from hypernatremia (elevated Na + ) donors when used for transplantation have had dismal outcomes. However, islet isolation from hypernatremic donors for both transplantation and research applications has not yet been investigated. A retrospective analysis of in vivo and in vitro islet function studies was performed on islets isolated from hypernatremic (serum sodium levels ≥ 160 meq/l) and normal control (serum sodium levels ≤ 155 meq/l) donors. Twelve isolations from 32 hypernatremic and 53 isolations from 222 normal donors were randomly transplanted into diabetic NOD Scid mice. Sodium levels upon pancreas procurement were significantly elevated in the hypernatremia group (163.5 ± 0.6 meq/l) compared with the normal control group (145.9 ± 0.4 meq/l) ( P < 0.001). The postculture islet recovery rate was significantly lower in the hypernatremia (59.1 ± 3.8%) group compared with the normal (73.6 ± 1.8%) group ( P = 0.005). The duration of hypernatremia was inversely correlated with the recovery rate ( r 2 = 0.370, P < 0.001). Furthermore, the percentage of successful graft function when transplanted into diabetic NOD Scid mice was significantly lower in the hypernatremia (42%) group compared with the normal control (85%) group ( P < 0.001). The ability to predict islet graft function posttransplantation using donor sodium levels and duration of hypernatremia was significant (ROC analysis, P = 0.022 and 0.042, respectively). In conclusion, duration of donor hypernatremia is associated with reduced islet recovery postculture. The efficacy of islets from hypernatremia donors diminished when transplanted into diabetic recipients.

New Products to Solve Scale Problems

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Scale deposits increase production costs, but scale control is inexpensive. Scale deposits do more than plug equipment and flow lines; they can reduce ultimate recovery from a water flood through plugging formation flow channels. While the mechanisms of scale formations and the methods used to remove scale have been covered already, new materials and techniques have shown some improvement in the efficiency of the removal and control of scale deposits. This paper deals with the use of new converters and liquid inhibitors, giving field experience from both the West Texas and Rocky Mountain regions. Introduction Scale deposition in producing and injection wells is a problem common to most oil producing areas. Much has been written describing its effect on producing operations and economics. Previous papers have examined different aspects of scale formation downhole, including compatibility of waters, temperature and pressure effects and the influence of brine pressure effects and the influence of brine concentration. Also, methods to Predict scaling tendencies have been proposed. Systems to remove scale deposits and inhibit their formation have been developed through the years but new ideas and modern technology are providing improved results. Treatment for removal of gypsum scale is particularly difficult and current work is particularly difficult and current work is being concentrated on this problem. New techniques being used in the West Texas and the Rocky Mountain regions are improving scale treatment results.
The United States Antarctic Program

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The National Science Foundation (NSF) has responsibility for the management, funding, and operation of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP), the U.S. national research program in Antarctica. The program is multifaceted, having international obligations under the Antarctic Treaty, providing grantees funding for Antarctic scientific research, and providing the necessary operational and logistical support to researchers to execute their programs. The latter includes building, maintaining, and operating all research stations, camps, and other facilities, and operating two research vessels, ski-equipped C-130 airplanes, and helicopters.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The paper will examine some of USAP's logistical and operational challenges. For example, for 4 of the last 5 seasons the Program has used U.S. Air Force C-5B airplanes to deliver cargo such as helicopters and Twin Otter airplanes to McMurdo Station sea-ice runway at the beginning of the season. USAP has no concrete runway in Antarctica. Before “main body” deployment every October in preparation for Austral summer activities at McMurdo and South Pole Stations, a hard-surface runway is built on the sea ice in McMurdo Sound. This enables wheeled airplanes to operate until early December when the ice runway must be abandoned. During the 1993-94 Antarctic season (October, 1993 through February, 1994), the sea ice was too thin and too warm a temperature to chance using a C-5, so all materials had to be brought to McMurdo Station using smaller C-141 airplanes. Impacts on the program will be discussed.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Also in the 1993-94 season, several challenging science projects were conducted. Astronomy and astrophysics efforts among these included projects under CARA, Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica, and AMANDA, Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array. These two examples are in the initial stages of their work, and will continue for some time. The paper describes CARA and AMANDA, and the logistics and operational support that is required to sustain them. AMANDA, for example, is a unique neutrino telescope that is using the polar ice sheet itself as a detector for neutrinos that have passed through the earth. Strings of photomuliplier tubes are frozen into one km deep holes melted into the ice to form an array that will be the basis of the telescope. Long-duration ballooning experiments, where large balloons circumnavigate the Antarctic continent for up to two weeks at a time, will also be discussed. In some cases, these give astrophysical data comparable to data obtained from Space Shuttle flights.</div>
Diversity of Wild Edible Plants in Dhadgaon Block of Nandurbar District in Maharashtra, India

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Present study deals with survey and documentation of wild edible plants (WEPs) in Dhadgaon/Akrani region of Nandurbar district. Present paper is the first documentation of WEPs used by local communities in Nandurbar district. Data on about 91 wild edible plant species in 69 genera of 40 families was recorded. Majority of WEPs belongs to family Fabaceae (11 species), Araceae (7), Asparagaceae (6), Malvaceae (6), Amaranthaceae (5), Apocynaceae (5), Asteraceae (4), Dioscoriaceae (4), Rubiaceae (4) and Cucurbitaceae (3). The genera represented by the highest number of species are Chlorophytum (5 species) followed by Dioscorea (4), Amaranthus (3) and 2 species each from Amorphophallus, Arisaema, Bauhinia, Cassia, Launea, Moringa, Smithia, Sterculia, Vigna and Ziziphus. Most of the species were consumed as leafy vegetable (46 species) or fruits (34 species). More than one plant part is used from 14% of the species. These wild edible plants are sources of food security for local people, especially those living in remote rural areas. Some species are wild relatives of crops that could be used for crop improvement program in future. Several species have potential values for further domestication and commercial exploitation which will help in biodiversity conservation and sustainable utility.
Efectividad del entrenamiento de atletismo en las capacidades físicas condicionales de los niños y adolescentes

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Athletics training allows the development of conditional physical capacities, influences the mastery of skills and their effectiveness in play and competition. For this reason, it is essential to develop conditional physical capacities in childhood and adolescence. In this process of sports initiation, the development of conditional physical capacities plays a fundamental role in the training of future athletes, as well as in their physical performance. Therefore, an investigation was carried out in which it was motivated to strengthen the conditional physical capacities in a group that trains athletics in the University Gymnasium, which are made up of a population of 21 subjects, children and adolescents of both sexes, with ages of 6 to 15 years, who worked for 4 months for 5 days a week. The verification raised in this research, when applying an exercise program for the effectiveness of athletic training in conditional physical capacities, there were significant differences between the results of the second test compared to the first in the categories of speed, abdominals, squats and throwing ball. This makes it possible to ensure that the applied program was successful and that the values of the second test were improved in relation to the first and that the alternative hypothesis is accepted that a program of athletic training exercises facilitates the improvement of conditional physical capacities.

Long Past Slavery: Representing Race in the Federal Writers’ Project. By Catherine A. Stewart

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Federal Writers’ Project provided relief to unemployed writers, teachers, and other professionals, the vast majority of whom were white. It generated cultural resources—among them the American Guide series and the narratives of former slaves—which New Deal officials deemed constructive in fighting Depression-era cultural malaise. In Long Past Slavery: Representing Race in the Federal Writers’ Project, Catherine A. Stewart documents the racial politics of the FWP and particularly its Ex-Slave Project. She foregrounds the roles of Sterling Brown, who served as the FWP’s national editor of Negro Affairs, and Zora Neale Hurston, who worked for a year on the Florida FWP’s Negro Workers Unit. In addition to such prominent figures, Stewart also focuses on the larger body of African American project workers who labored on segregated units in states such as Virginia, Florida, and Louisiana. As workers within a racial hierarchy, middle-class blacks sought to represent African-American heritage in ways that promoted black civic competence. Invariably, their work underwent racist revision by white superiors intent on eliminating “black bias” from FWP publications. White FWP administrators and interviewers, some of whom were members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, typically idealized white paternalism and black dependence. Yet as Stewart argues, former slaves, now elderly and vulnerable to the vagaries of the Depression, were not merely objects in the ensuing contest over the meanings of “authentic” black identity and culture. Instead, ex-slaves understood their oral performances as valuable commodities, which they used to garner food, clothing, and other goods while resisting white authority through signifying and other black vernacular practices.

A patient with hypocomplementemia and fibrillary deposits as demonstrated by electronmicroscopy is reported. The clinical and pathologic features of fibrillary glomerulonephritis and immunotactoid glomerulopathy are reviewed.
63-year-old man with right biceps and right pectoralis major abscesses: an unusual case of pyomyositis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Pyomyositis is considered a great mimicker and masquerader. This case is of a 63-year-old man with diabetes who initially presented to the outpatient clinic afebrile with right shoulder pain. His work-up was negative, and he was discharged home. He subsequently presented to the emergency room (ER) two times for worsening right shoulder pain. During his first visit to the ER, his work-up was unremarkable, and he was discharged home. On his return to the ER, he was now febrile with inflammation involving his right upper extremity and right chest wall. Imaging studies of his right upper extremity and his right chest wall were consistent with multiple abscesses. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus was cultured from the abscess, and from blood and urine cultures. The diagnosis of pyomyositis was confirmed. This case illustrates the difficulty of diagnosing pyomyositis and the importance of including it in the differential diagnosis, especially in an immunocompromised patient.
Exhibition of Traditional Gender Roles through Symbolic and Semiotic use of Language in Alice Munro’s ‘Royal Beatings’

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

his paper presents the feminist analysis of short story ‘Royal Beatings’. It involves the beating of a teenage girl by her father who became the victim of domestic violence on her misconduct with her stepmother. The theoretical framework used for analysis is ‘Feminism’ and character’s actions are analyzed from the two feministic lenses that are ‘Traditional Gender Roles’ and Julia kristeva’s symbolic and semiotic perspective of language. The paper concludes that deep rooted patriarchal structures where men are deemed authoritative, have control on their female members and a high degree influence in their lives are considered the real causes of female oppression.
