Subject at Risk for Eating Disorders: Study of a Population of Children Aged between 8 and 13 Years

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Subject at Risk for Eating Disorders: Study of a Population of Children Aged between 8 and 13 Years Background: early onset eating disorders (EOED) are increasing. Epidemiological studies provided that the overall prevalence is estimated at around 10% in the school population. The present study aims to evaluate those at risk for EOED in a population of students from Campania Region, Italy and to identify some correlated factors associated with the disorder (BMI, age, gender, sport/activities involvement, meal-time characteristics). Method: sample consisted of the students of the primary and secondary schools in six municipalities near the city of Caserta (Campania-Italy). Children eating attitude test-26 (Ch-EAT-26) has been used to collect data on eating disorder behaviors and attitudes. Results: 137 subjects, 61 female and 76 male composed the sample. Mean age was 115,38 months (SD: 10,4). Mean BMI was 20 (SD: 5). The means score at the ChEAT was 13.25 (SD: 9) and 30 children exceeded the clinical cut-off score (>20). There was no correlation between ChEAT score and BMI and age. Sport/activities outside the school and key figure for the child at meal time were significantly different between the clinical and non-clinical group (Ch-EAT score). Conclusion: data showed that our sample had a higher risk for EOED compared to the overall prevalence. Dance and physical exercise were confirmed such as risk factors for eating disorders. Finally according to the results of our research, the presence of the mother at the meal- time may be a protective factor for the risk of developing and eating disorder in childhood.
Partial Substitution Effect on Electrical Conductivity, Crystal Structure, and Electron Density Distribution of LaBaGaO<sub>4</sub>-Based Protonic Conductor

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this work, we investigated electrical conduction properties, crystal structures, and electron-density distributions of LaBaGaO 4 -based protonic conductors; i.e., La 0.95 M 0.05 BaGaO 4-δ (M = Ba, Sr, and Ca) and La 0.9 Ba 1.1 Ga 0.9 -M′ 0.1 O 4-δ (M′ = Ga, Al, and In).It was demonstrated from the conductivity measurements that the Sr-substituted sample showed the highest conductivity among La 0.95 M 0.05 BaGaO 4-δ and the partial substitutions of Al and In for Ga deteriorated the conductivity.To clarify effects of the substitutions on crystal structures and electron-density distributions, we performed a Rietveld refinement and a maximum-entropy method.As a result, it was found that a distortion of the crystal structure was the lowest in the Sr-substituted sample among La 0.95 M 0.05 BaGaO 4-δ and became larger by the partial substitution for Ga.It was also suggested that both the Al and In substitutions made (Ga, M′)-O bond stronger and thus (Ga, M′)O 4 tetrahedra rigid.Such structural changes by the partial substitutions could be considered to affect the electrical conduction properties.
Bridging the gap of care for chronic pain patients

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Aim: Examine the need for multidisciplinary pain management support for primary care providers at a provider based ambulatory care setting in western Montana. Background: Although chronic pain ailments make up a significant portion of primary care provider visits, many providers do not feel equipped to manage nonmalignant chronic pain and often fear legal consequences of opioid prescribing. With gaps in pain specialist availability, provider comfort, and geographical and financial challenges, Telemedicine may help alleviate provider stress through the delivery of emotional support and structured case discussion and consultation, assisting providers with communication strategies, mental health referrals, and difficult decision-making surrounding opioid prescribing Method: Twenty six primary care providers received an electronic questionnaire to assess their pain management needs and views regarding the training, challenges, expectations, and impact of implementing Telehealth at their current organization. Results: Five out of twenty six providers participated in the project. Eighty percent (80% 'n=4') of providers said they would use Telehealth for pain management if it was available to them, identifying interprofessional collaborative practice, initial evaluation and treatment plan recommendation, ongoing treatments, and education as the most useful telehealth applications. Conclusion: Chronic pain management is a problem for primary care providers. Future research on small, rural organizations using telehealth to meet their patients' pain management needs and additional needs assessments are needed to gain insight into providers engagement levels prior to moving forward with implementation of a Telehealth program at this organization to ensure a successful implementation.
Quantifying Balance Control in Concussed Varsity Athletes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Previous research has demonstrated that even at return to play (RTP), there are continued balance control deficits in previously concussed athletes. However, these deficits were only distinguishable using higher order measures, which might have been missed using traditional measures (Powers et al., 2013). Higher-order analyses provide better insights into the neural control of balance. Sparato and colleagues (2013) quantified the number of lateral posture adjustments (PA) during a stepping task and found young adults tend to elicit one PA whereas older adults with history of falls tended to use two. PURPOSE: To determine whether a PA measure can distinguish control differences between groups of young adults during gait initiation (GI) task. HYPOTHESIS: During GI, concussed individuals will make more PA than non-athletes and baseline athletes, respectively. METHOD: Participants were all females (17-24 years) and included: varsity soccer players (N=28, baseline), non-athletes (N=6), and concussed soccer players during the symptomatic phase (N=3). Participants were asked to stand quietly on a Bertec force plate (FP) with their feet together and hands by their sides with their eyes open or closed for 45s. After 45s, an auditory cue sounded and participants initiated gait from the FP by taking two steps. Postural adjustments made during the gait initiation phase were calculated using the vertical force and counting the number of inflection points from the start of GI to when the participants were completely off the FP. Participants were taken from three groups: Baseline Female Laurier Varsity Soccer Players, Non-Athletes, and Concussed Varsity Athletes at the asymptomatic and RTP stage of recovery. RESULTS: During eyes open, non-athletes made more PA than the baseline athletes (p=.034) but concussed soccer players were not different from the baseline athletes (p=.13). With eyes closed, all participants produced similar number of PA. CONCLUSSION: These preliminary findings suggest that a PA measurement during GI can distinguish athletes from non-athletes and hopefully with more concussed athlete participants, may be able to distinguish between concussed and non-concussed athletes. If this is true, this would be an effective measure to not only determine if an athlete is concussed, but also to determine if the concussed athlete is ready to return to activity.
Functional Disconnection of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Subthalamic Nucleus in Attentional Performance: Evidence for Corticosubthalamic Interaction

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The present study used a disconnection procedure to test whether the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) were functional components in a common neural system that controlled continuous performance in a test of sustained and divided visual attention. Animals with disconnected lesions of the mPFC and STN in contralateral hemispheres were severely impaired in several aspects of performance, including discriminative accuracy, increased perseveration, and slowed response latencies during postoperative testing. These deficits persisted throughout the entire experimental test period. Increasing the stimulus duration alleviated the accuracy deficit but failed to improve speed of responding or reduce perseverative responses. These deficits were in marked contrast to animals with combined mPFC and STN lesions made on the ipsilateral side, which produced behavior not different from that of sham controls. Rats with unilateral lesions of either structure alone were also impaired in terms of accuracy and perseveration. These data suggest that some of the deficits observed after bilateral STN lesions (attention and perseveration) may be attributable to a disrupted corticosubthalamic projection. This study provides direct evidence that performance in tasks that require optimal attentional and executive control relies on a corticosubthalamic interaction within the neural circuitry of the basal ganglia.
Acute Leukemia Treated With Divided Doses of Methotrexate

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

THE REMISSION rates obtained with folic acid antagonists in acute leukemia in children have not been observed in adults. In a study by the Acute Leukemia B Group1methotrexate produced complete remissions in 22% of children with lymphoblastic leukemia. In adults given doses of 5 mg of methotrexate daily to the point of toxicity or remission a complete remission was obtained in only one of 34 patients with acute myelocytic leukemia. Others have reported remissions in less than 20% of adults using folic acid antagonists alone or in combination with mercaptopurine (6-mercaptopurine).2-4It has been stated that methotrexate is of no value in acute myelocytic leukemia in adults.5Treatment with mercaptopurine has induced remissions in less than 20% of adult patients when strict criteria of response are imposed.1,6Combinations of prednisone and mercaptopurine reportedly induced remissions in one third of 36 patients reported by Bridges et
CHARGE TRANSFER PROCESSES IN ELECTRON-DONOR-ACCEPTOR COMPLEXES IN SOLIDS AT LOW TEMPERATURE.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The charge transfer spectra of several donor-acceptor pairs have been studied at low temperatures by vapor deposition for the benzene-iodine complex and by polymer matrix isolation techniques for other aromatic hhydrocarbons complexed with tetrachlorophthalic anhydride and trinitrofluorenone. The spectra obtained from benzene and iodine sprayed on a cold window showed the characteristic charge transfer absorption band of benzene and iodine centered at about 300 A and approximately 300 A wide. The molecular complexes isolated in polymer matrices were studied at 298 K and 77 K by absorption, luminescence, and excitation spectroscopy. Lowering the temperature increases the intensity of absorption and of luminescence by reducing quenching, but has insignificant effect on the spectral location of the charge transfer band maximum in absorption and fluorescence. Hence the Stokes' shift for the charge transfer process is unaffected over this temperature range. The occurrence of charge transfer fluorescence for a series of donors complexed to the same acceptor is sensitively dependent upon the location of the donor triplet state. The charge transfer interaction enhances the population of the donor triplet state. The excitation spectra show structure and splitting in the charge transfer band. (Author)

A case of rectal neuroendocrine carcinoma in a patient with long‐standing ulcerative colitis involving alterations of the p16‐Rb pathway

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The patient was a 54‐year‐old male who had been suffering from extensive ulcerative colitis (UC) for 17 years. Colonoscopy revealed an elevated lesion in the affected rectum, and its biopsy demonstrated neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). The surgical specimen obtained on laparoscopic high anterior resection showed extensive active inflammatory and dysplastic lesions and three grossly visible multifocal malignant lesions: a polypoid fungating tumor of NEC (type 1, 20 mm in diameter, pT3) that had been preoperatively noticed, a polypoid fungating tumor of adenocarcinoma (type 1, 22 mm, pT2) and a protruded sessile polypoid tumor (0–Is, 5 mm, pTis) of adenocarcinoma. The NEC was adjacently accompanied by dysplasia‐carcinoma sequential lesions and showed a diffuse immunohistochemical overexpression of p53 and p16 proteins and the loss of Rb with no abnormal immunohistochemical staining of microsatellite instability markers and no KRAS mutations. Fifteen months later, the patient showed liver metastasis from the NEC component, followed by bone and spinal metastasis; he died 22 months after the initial diagnosis. A rare case of lethal NEC arising from long‐standing extensive UC was reported. The NEC appeared to be UC‐related, not incidental, and complicated by progression from dysplasia to carcinoma involving alterations of the p16‐Rb pathway.
Evaluating Bacterial Nanocellulose Interfaces for Recording Surface Biopotentials from Plants

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The study of plant electrophysiology offers promising techniques to track plant health and stress in vivo for both agricultural and environmental monitoring applications. Use of superficial electrodes on the plant body to record surface potentials may provide new phenotyping insights. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a flexible, optically translucent, and water-vapor-permeable material with low manufacturing costs, making it an ideal substrate for non-invasive and non-destructive plant electrodes. This work presents BNC electrodes with screen-printed carbon (graphite) ink-based conductive traces and pads. It investigates the potential of these electrodes for plant surface electrophysiology measurements in comparison to commercially available standard wet gel and needle electrodes. The electrochemically active surface area and impedance of the BNC electrodes varied based on the annealing temperature and time over the ranges of 50 °C to 90 °C and 5 to 60 min, respectively. The water vapor transfer rate and optical transmittance of the BNC substrate were measured to estimate the level of occlusion caused by these surface electrodes on the plant tissue. The total reduction in chlorophyll content under the electrodes was measured after the electrodes were placed on maize leaves for up to 300 h, showing that the BNC caused only a 16% reduction. Maize leaf transpiration was reduced by only 20% under the BNC electrodes after 72 h compared to a 60% reduction under wet gel electrodes in 48 h. On three different model plants, BNC–carbon ink surface electrodes and standard invasive needle electrodes were shown to have a comparable signal quality, with a correlation coefficient of >0.9, when measuring surface biopotentials induced by acute environmental stressors. These are strong indications of the superior performance of the BNC substrate with screen-printed graphite ink as an electrode material for plant surface biopotential recordings.

Biosynthesis and function of simple amides in Xenorhabdus doucetiae

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

Summary Xenorhabdus doucetiae , the bacterial symbiont of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema diaprepesi produces several different fatty acid amides. Their biosynthesis has been studied using a combination of analysis of gene deletions and promoter exchanges in X. doucetiae and heterologous expression of candidate genes in E. coli . While a decarboxylase is required for the formation of all observed phenylethylamides and tryptamides, the acyltransferase XrdE encoded in the xenorhabdin biosynthesis gene cluster is responsible for the formation of short chain acyl amides. Additionally, new, long‐chain and cytotoxic acyl amides were identified in X. doucetiae infected insects and when X. doucetiae was grown in Galleria Instant Broth (GIB). When the bioactivity of selected amides was tested, a quorum sensing modulating activity was observed for the short chain acyl amides against the two different quorum sensing systems from Chromobacterium and Janthinobacterium .
Perbandingan Laju Penurunan Muka Tanah Menggunakan Metode DInSAR dengan Pengolahan Data Aktual

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This research is motivated by how the data generated from the capabilities of the radar technology used in monitoring land subsidence using the DInSAR (Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar) method is compared with actual data in the mining sector. The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of the land subsidence rate using the DInSAR method against the actual data. DInSAR processing is carried out using a pair of Sentinel-1 Terrain Observation by Progressive Scans (TOPS) images with acquisition times before and after changes in conditions due to mining activities. Actual data processing in the form of topographical data at the End of the Month (EOM) by carrying out the drape elements process by 30 sample points to provide information on the value of changes in elevation that occur within a period of three months. The results of the research show that there is a discrepancy between the data generated using the DInSAR method and the actual data. This can be due to the limitations of radar sensors in detecting soil dredging activities in mining areas. So that further processing is needed so that the results of Sentinel-1 Image processing with the DInSAR method can represent the value of land subsidence in the field.
Performance improvement and validation of a new MAP reconstruction algorithm

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We previously proposed a fast maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm, limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno with boundary constrains (LBFGS-B-PC), combining LBFGS-B with diagonal preconditioning. Previous results have shown in simulations that it converges using around 40 projections independent of many factors. The aim of this study is to improve the algorithm further by using a better initial image and a modified preconditioner that is less sensitive to noise and data scale. By initializing the algorithm with the best initial image (one full iteration of OSEM with 35 subsets), ROI values can converge almost twice as fast for the same computation time. Moreover, the new preconditioner makes the performance more consistent between high and low count data sets. In addition, we have found a means to choose the stopping criteria to reach a desired level of quantitative accuracy in the reconstructed image. Based on the results with patient data, the optimized LBFGS-B-PC shows promise for clinical imaging.
Multiplex PCR: Identifying Staphylococcus Species and Methicillin Resistance in Commercial Pork Products

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Many species of Staphylococcus bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, make up the normal flora of bacteria that live on the skin of animals, such as humans and pigs (Nagase et al. 2001). S. aureus bacteria frequently contaminates pork meat (Jackson et al 2013; Buyukcangaz et. al 2013). Many species of Staphylococcus bacteria can act as opportunistic pathogens and infect hosts that exhibit weakened immune responses. Some diseases caused by Staphylococcus bacteria include: urinary tract infections, sepsis, dermal infections, food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome (Hirotaki et al. 2011; Martineau et al. 1998). Many Staphylococcus bacterial infections have become difficult to treat with antibiotics because several species have become methicillin resistant (Hirotaki et al. 2011). If pork products that contain Staphylococcus bacteria are not properly cooked, many diseases can result that may be antibiotic resistant. Our main objective or this study is to determine which species of Staphylococcus bacteria are most common in commercial pork products purchased in Tennessee and Kentucky, and if the pork products contain Staphylococcus samples that are methicillin resistant. Currently, we have collected 270 bacterial isolates from 100 pork samples. Of the 270 bacterial isolates, 52 (19.3%) have been identified as S. aureus, 29 (10.7%) are S. epidermidis, one (0.4%) is S. haemolyticus, one (0.4%) is S. saprophyticus, and 22 (8.1%) are not Staphylococcus bacteria. Methicillin resistance was discovered in five isolates, three (10.3%) S. epidermidis isolates, and two (3.8%) S. aureus isolates.
