SPINAL ANESTHESIA, ARACHNOIDITIS, AND PARAPLEGIA

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The effects of various detergents left as contaminants in the needles and syringes used for spinal anesthesia were studied in experiments with 18 monkeys. There were three test groups: a series of five monkeys in which a variety of detergents were used as contaminants, a series of five monkeys in which the contaminant was a 1 % solution of tribasic sodium phosphate (TSP), and a series of four monkeys in which the contaminant was 5% TSP. There was a contrast group consisting of four monkeys who were observed for five months or more after spinal anesthesia had been induced with due precautions against contamination with detergents. In this group no clinical, gross, or microscopic evidence of neurological damage was obtained. In the test groups only two monkeys escaped arachnoiditis; all the others developed it varying degrees of severity, and one became clinically paraplegic. Detergents are not the only contaminants to be concerned about, but it is clear that extreme care should be used in all phases of the induction of spinal anesthesia.
The Long-term Patency of Lymphaticovenular Anastomosis in Breast Cancer–Related Lymphedema

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background and Objectives Lymphedema is a condition that can greatly affect patient's quality of life. Promising results have been described with lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) in the treatment of lymphedema. It is currently unknown at what rate anastomoses remain functional after a longer follow-up. The aim of this study was to determine LVA patency at 1-year follow-up. Methods Retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent LVA surgery. Patients who had indocyanine green lymphography performed at 12 months' follow-up after LVA were included in this study. Volume measurements were performed prior to surgery and at 6 and 12 months' follow-up. Patients quality of life was measured prior to surgery and at 6 months' follow-up. Results Twelve patients met inclusion criteria. In total, 15 (56.5%) of 23 LVAs were considered patent. In 8 patients (66.7%), at least 1 patent LVA was visible. The volume difference between the healthy and affected arms decreased 32.3% on average. Quality of life increased with 1.4 points on average. Conclusions This study is, to our knowledge, the first to evaluate long-term patency of LVA in upper limb lymphedema. Our study demonstrates that at least 56.5% of the anastomoses created are patent after 1-year follow-up.
THE ECONOMICS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN SLAVERY: THE CLIOMETRICS DEBATE

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This working paper explores the significant contributions to the history of African-American slavery made by the application of the tools of cliometrics. As used here “cliometrics” is defined as a method of scientific analysis marked by the explicit use of economic theory and quantitative methods. American slavery of the late antebellum period [1840-1860] was one of the earliest topics that cliometricians focused on and, arguably, the topic upon which they made the largest impact.
Far-infrared emission from Si-MOSFET’s on high-index surfaces

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Voltage-tunable far-infrared emission was observed from n-channel Si-MOSFET’s on high-index surfaces. The emission results from radiative decay of electronic excitations across a minigap in the ground-state subband of the channel. We have observed emission of 10−9 W at 4.4 meV with a linewidth of ∼1 meV. Our results indicate that a voltage-tunable monochromatic source of several times 10−7 W and tuning from ∼1 to ∼20 meV is attainable.
Single center experience of biotinidase deficiency: 259 patients and six novel mutations

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Biotinidase deficiency (BD) is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder of biotin recycling. It is classified into two levels based on the biotinidase enzyme activity: partial deficiency (10%–30% enzyme activity) and profound deficiency (0%–10% enzyme activity). The aims of this study were to evaluate our patients with BD, identify the spectrum of biotinidase ( BTD ) gene mutations in Turkish patients and to determine the clinical and laboratory findings of our patients and their follow-up period. Methods A total of 259 patients who were diagnosed with BD were enrolled in the study. One hundred and forty-eight patients were male (57.1%), and 111 patients were female (42.9%). Results The number of patients detected by newborn screening was 221 (85.3%). By family screening, 31 (12%) patients were diagnosed with BD. Seven patients (2.7%) had different initial complaints and were diagnosed with BD. Partial BD was detected in 186 (71.8%) patients, and the profound deficiency was detected in 73 (28.2%) patients. Most of our patients were asymptomatic. The most commonly found variants were p.D444H, p.R157H, c.98_104delinsTCC. The novel mutations which were detected in this study are p.D401N(c.1201G>A), p.A82G (c.245C>G), p.F128S(c.383T>C), c617_619del/TTG (p.Val207del), p.A287T(c.859G>A), p.S491H(c.1471A>G). The most common mutation was p.R157H in profound BD and p.D444H in partial BD. All diagnosed patients were treated with biotin. Conclusions The diagnosis of BD should be based on plasma biotinidase activity and molecular analysis. We determined the clinical and genetic spectra of a large group of patients with BD from Western Turkey. The frequent mutations in our study were similar to the literature. In this study, six novel mutations were described.

Dengue Viral Protein Interaction Study Derived Immune Epitope for In-Silico Vaccine Design

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Dengue viral illness is communicated to humans through the bite of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This disease may become lethal in numerous patients. The availability of an efficacious vaccine makes alarm for public healthcare. The dengue virus multiplied inside the host framework involved many host-viral protein interactions. This immunoinformatics study was designed for the prediction of immune epitopes for T cell-mediated immunity. The epitopes are anticipated from the most connecting viral protein with humans. We utilized a couple of epitope mapping tools for the determination of immunodominant epitope for vaccine design. The physical interaction between epitope ligand and receptor MHC class I alleles was analyzed in the molecular docking study. This study was concluded that two epitopes (‘SRAIWYMWL’ and ‘FLEFEALGF’) are suitable for the designing of an efficacious multi-epitope vaccine. The clinical validation is considered necessary for the final confirmation of vaccine potency.

Intracerebroventricular administration of hypertonic sodium chloride solution reduces the sensitivity of the baroreceptor heart reflex in anaesthetized rats.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of hypertonic sodium chloride solution increased blood pressure (BP) and shortened heart period (interbeat-interval: IBI) that is why an impairment in baroreflex regulation is believed to be part of that process. Therefore, in anaesthetized rats (1.35 g urethane/kg BW) the baroreceptor-heart reflex (BHR) was tested before and during i.c.v. infusion (15 min) of isotonic or hypertonic (0.6 M, 1.0 M) sodium chloride solution by inducing an acute BP rise by i.v. pressoric agents (phenylephrine, methoxamine). The evoked reflex prolongation of the IBI was taken to estimate the sensitivity of that BHR (delta ms/mm Hg). Whilst i.c.v. infusion of isotonic sodium chloride solution did not affect BHR sensitivity, hypertonic sodium chloride solution not only elevated BP and shortened IBI but also reset and impaired the BHR. Therefore, an increased central sensitivity to sodium chloride might not only increase BP but also impair the buffering capacity of the BHR against this rise and in this way support development of hypertension.
A framework for risk management practices and organizational performance in higher education

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Risk management is recognized as a prominent aspect of the good corporate governance of a successful institution. The need for effective risk management framework is widely recognized by academic and industry to manage all type of risks encountered by an organization. However, managing risk practices in the not for profit arena, including public higher education institutions, appear to be significantly less developed as compared to that of business world. In Malaysia higher education scenario, some public universities are awarded autonomous status, and therefore, a framework for effective management of risks is needed. Review of literature related to risk management indicated that Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework is a best practice and can be applied in higher education setting. However, the risk management framework of ERM need to be costumed to suit the unique mission, risk context and risk profile of higher education. Based on the review of literature and ERM framework of COSO and ISO 31000:2010, risk governance, risk policy, risk context, risk treatment, communication and consultation, risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, and monitoring and review of risk management process, tools and technology, and continuous improvement of the risk management practices, is proposed for the public universities. Organizations that have implemented systematic risk management practices are enjoying high level of organizational performance. However, specific measure of performance is needed to link the risk management practices and the impact on the organizational performance. A review on organizational performance measures related to risk suggesting that the financial and non-financial performance would serve as construct of organizational performance for these universities. Hence, this study proposes a framework for risk management practices and organizational performance for managing risk in the higher education setting, particularly for Malaysia’s public universities with autonomous status.
The Naked Result

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This book explores the corporate takeover of striptease and the concomitant commodification of eroticism in relation to class, race, and the culture industry. The last quarter century has seen a radical shift from individual ownership and management of clubs perceived as seamy dens of illicit desire toward large chains that project an aura of wholesome, middle-class good fun. This corporatizing has had homogenizing and segregating impacts on every aspect of striptease—dancers and their dancing, venues, and patrons. Through observation and movement analysis, interviews with dancers and customers, and discussions of exotic dance within late capitalist consumer culture, this book challenges feminist debates about women's oppression versus agency in stripping, and turns instead to its changing status as performance, service work, and commodity. As exotic dance moves into the mainstream, it is being stripped of its historical potential to embody and express subversive desires—erotic and otherwise—and to generate resistant modes of female erotic subjectivity. Ultimately the book argues that corporatization has cheerfully smothered the diversity of sexual desire and expression for both dancers and customers, repackaging the most mysterious human emotions into easily branded experiences no more personal or powerful than those to be found in any themed restaurant or coffee mega-chain.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Potted chrysanthemum plants are very popular with the public because of their various colors, sizes and shapes. The experiment was aimed to give the concentration of potassium nitrate (KNO3) which had a good effect on the growth and yield of potted chrysanthemums cyra agrihorti varieties. The experiment was carried out from March to May 2021 in Cimeta Village, Tugumukti Village, Cisarua District, West Bandung Regency at an altitude of 1312 m above sea level. The experiment method used complete randomized design (CRDB) of six treatments and four replications. The KNO3 concentration treatments used were A = 0 g/liter, B = 1 g/liter, C = 2 g/liter, D = 3g/liter, E = 4 g/liter, and F = 5 g/liter. The results showed that the KNO3 concentration treatment had an effect on increasing the growth and yield of potted chrysanthemum plants. Treatment with KNO3 concentration of 4 g/liter (E) and KNO3 concentration of 5 g/liter (F) had a better effect than other treatments on the growth and yield of potted chrysanthemum Cyra Agrohorti varieties
Intragraft vasculitis and gene expression analysis: Association with acute rejection and prediction of mortality in long‐term heart transplantation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Vasculitis entails heterogeneous origins; it starts with an inflammatory process that leads to small vessels’ necrosis, hemorrhage, and ischemic lesion, and may further result in occlusion of the vascular lumen. Vasculitis’ contribution to allograft rejection is still unclear. This study aims to investigate the incidence of vasculitis in the early stages of heart transplantation as well as to assess the intragraft genes’ expression associated with vascular function and subsequently to verify the way in which it affects the outcome of the allograft. Methods In this retrospective study, 300 archive paraffin‐embedded endomyocardial biopsies from 63 heart allograft recipients were assessed. Cellular rejection and vasculitis were diagnosed through histological analysis, and antibody‐mediated rejection was performed with immunohistochemical C4d staining. The transcripts of ICAM , VCAM , VEGF , CCL 2 , IFNG , TGFB , TNF , ADIPOR 1 , and ADIPOR 2 genes were examined through quantitative polymerase chain reaction using B2M for normalization. Results We observed a higher prevalence of severe vasculitis in the early period of post‐transplant, and recovery was observed to take place around 1 year post‐transplant. Additionally, vasculitis was found to be directly associated with acute cellular rejection and antibody‐mediated rejection. The intense C4d capillary positivity predicts higher long‐term cardiovascular disease mortality. In comparison with the vasculitis‐free group, the group with severe vasculitis displayed reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and an upregulation of VCAM and IFNG associated with the downregulation of VEGF , ADIPOR 1 , and ADIPOR 2 . Conclusion The vasculitis associated with the presence of C4d and the change in intragraft gene expression profile may contribute to poor allograft outcomes.
Different mechanisms of release of vasoactive amines by mast cells occur in T cell‐dependent compared to IgE‐dependent cutaneous hypersensitivity responses

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract It has recently been shown that the classical 24–48‐h component of delayed‐type hypersensitivity (DTH) in mice is preceded by an early 2‐h component. This early component of DTH resembles IgE‐dependent hypersensitivity reactions, but is mediated by an antigen‐specific T cell factor that activates cutaneous mast cells (MC). In the current study of cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions, evidence is presented that serotonin and histamine are released from the granules of MC in IgE‐dependent responses, but that T cell activation of MC induces preferential release of serotonin. In T cell‐dependent reactions, it was found that serotonin was released under experimental conditions in which MC granules were depleted of serotonin, but catabolism of serotonin in the cytosol was prevented. This suggests that T cells induce differential release of serotonin from nongranule storage sites in MC, such as transport vesicles in the cytoplasm. Morphological observations of MC in IgE‐dependent compared to T cell‐dependent cutaneous reactions were consistent with this hypothesis. Exocytosis of granules characterized IgE activation and was not found in MC that were activated by T cells, which instead showed mild degranulation accompanied by numerous cyto‐plasmic vesicles.
