A new anastomotic technique in renal transplants reduces warm ischemia time

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The cause of allograft dysfunction following renal transplantation has not yet been fully determined. However, one of the principal factors known to cause dysfunction in renal transplantation is warm. ischemia. A new vascular anastomosis technique that reduces anastomotic time and the amount of warm ischemia time during the implantation phase was tested. A retrospective review compared 21 consecutive sutureless renal transplants with 31 consecutive suture transplants using a new technique performed by the same surgeon in the previous 12 months. The results showed the warm ischemia time was reduced by 51% (from 42.4 min to 24.04 min) with the new anastomotic technique, and with few complications. Initial experience with the new anastomotic technique is favorable. Further experience is needed to fully evaluate the complications and long‐term outcomes using this technique.

A Microelectrode Array Modified by PtNPs/PB Nanocomposites Used for the Detection and Analysis of Glucose-Sensitive Neurons under Different Blood Glucose States

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Hypoglycemia state damages the organism, and glucose-excited and glucose-inhibited neurons from the ventral medial hypothalamus can regulate this state. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the functional mechanism between blood glucose and electrophysiology of glucose-excited and glucose-inhibited neurons. To better detect and analyze this mechanism, a PtNPs/PB nanomaterials modified 32-channel microelectrode array with low impedance (21.91 ± 6.80 kΩ), slight phase delay (-12.7° ± 2.7°), high double layer capacitance (0.606 μF), and biocompatibility was developed to realize in vivo real-time detection of the electrophysiology activities of glucose-excited and glucose-inhibited neurons. The phase-locking level of some glucose-inhibited neurons elevated during fasting (low blood glucose state) and showed theta rhythms after glucose injection (high blood glucose state). With an independent oscillating ability, glucose-inhibited neurons can provide an essential indicator to prevent severe hypoglycemia. The results reveal a mechanism for glucose-sensitive neurons to respond to blood glucose. Some glucose-inhibited neurons can integrate glucose information input and convert it into theta oscillating or phase lock output. It helps in enhancing the interaction between neurons and glucose. Therefore, the research can provide a basis for further controlling blood glucose by modulating the characteristics of neuronal electrophysiology. This helps reduce the damage of organisms under energy-limiting conditions, such as prolonged manned spaceflight or metabolic disorders.
A Krasnoselskii Cone Compression Theorem for $\scr{U}_{c}^{k}$ Maps

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The main purpose of this paper is to prove a generalisation of the Krasnoselskii cone compression theorem for the $\scr{U}_{c}^{k}$ maps of Park. Our analysis is elementary and relies on the fact that the unit sphere (in a cone) is a retract of the unit ball (in a cone).
Learning from Leibniz: Whitehead (and Russell) on Mind, Matter and Monads

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Whitehead's system may be interpreted as a majestic attempt at recasting Leibniz's theory of monads in terms of sounder ontological categories. After a brief introductory section on the sources of Whitehead's knowledge of Leibniz's philosophy, the paper explains why Whitehead turned to Leibniz for metaphysical inspiration. Attention then shifts to Whitehead's understanding of the problems involved with Leibniz's theory of monads and his alternative explanation of monadic causation. Whitehead's endeavour to install windows in Leibniz's monads may not be entirely convincing, but there are philosophical gems scattered here and there in his analyses – true moments of insight that repay close examination.
Project "ME": A New Approach to Media in the Education of Learning Disabled Children

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

An innovative way of using audio-visual programs to help in the education of preschool children and older children with learning disabilities is described. Traditional audio-visual methods usually demand that the child sit still, remain quiet, and look and listen. These demands are too stringent for these young children to meet successfully; so, in the past, media has not been effectively used in early childhood education. Project "ME" has designed a system which enables children to interact, with a life-sized projected image, motorically, tactically, and verbally. Opportunities for visual-perceptual-motor training are expanded and programs have been designed to promote emotional awareness and enhance self-concept. An evaluation of two of the interactive programs is presented.
Surgical approaches for cesarean section in cattle.

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Bovine practitioners are often presented with dystocias that require a cesarean section. Many practitioners perform this surgery using the same approach each time due to their comfort with one specific approach or lack of familiarity of other available options. The goal of this article is to explain the advantages, disadvantages, and indications for each of the different approaches to aid the practitioner in achieving better surgical success rate.

Clozapine and hematologic adverse reactions: Impact of the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction In October 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) instituted an update to the mandatory Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program for clozapine to improve safety monitoring of hematologic events. However, the impact of the clozapine REMS program on reporting of hematologic adverse events has not been quantified. Methods We assessed adverse event reports for agranulocytosis, granulocytopenia, leukopenia, and neutropenia from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for a 1-year time period before (October 2014 to September 2015, pre-REMS) and after (October 2015 to September 2016, post-REMS) the implementation of the clozapine REMS program. The AERSMine platform was used to capture historical effect estimates (October 2004 to September 2014). Reporting odds ratios (ROR), proportional reporting ratios (PRR), and corresponding Taylor series 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for hematologic events with clozapine compared with all other medications using OpenEpi. Results Reporting rates for agranulocytosis, granulocytopenia, leukopenia, and neutropenia with clozapine all increased from the pre-REMS to post-REMS time frames, ranging from a 2-fold increase with leukopenia to a 40-fold increase with neutropenia; the composite measure of all hematologic reports had a 12-fold increase. During the post-REMS time frame, the ROR increased by 1691% (111.4, 95% CI 100.6-123.4) compared with the pre-REMS time frame (7.1, 95% CI 5.2-9.6), and the PRR increased by 1280% (83.1, 95% CI 76.8-90.0 vs 6.9, 95% CI 5.1-9.4) for the composite outcome. Discussion We observed significant increases in reports of hematologic adverse events with clozapine after the introduction of the clozapine REMS program. Future research should explore the impact of the less stringent exclusionary and discontinuation criteria on utilization (eg, expanded access) and clinical outcomes (eg, treatment effectiveness and adverse events).
Transnational Networks and Cross-Religious Exchange in the Seventeenth-Century Mediterranean and Atlantic Worlds

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In 1644, the news that Antonio de Montezinos claimed to have discovered the Lost Tribes of Israel in the jungles of South America spread across Europe fuelling an already febrile atmosphere of messianic and millenarian expectation. By tracing the process in which one set of apocalyptic ideas was transmitted across the Christian and Islamic worlds, this book provides fresh insight into the origin and transmission of eschatological constructs, and the resulting beliefs that blurred traditional religious boundaries and identities. Beginning with an investigation of the impact of Montezinos's narrative, the next chapter follows the story to England, examining how the Quaker messiah James Nayler was viewed in Europe. The third chapter presents the history of the widely reported - but wholly fictitious - story of the sack of Mecca, a rumour that was spread alongside news of Sabbatai Sevi. The final chapter looks at Christian responses to the Sabbatian movement, providing a detailed discussion of the cross-religious and international representations of the messiah. The conclusion brings these case studies together, arguing that the evolving beliefs in the messiah and the Lost Tribes between 1648 and 1666 can only be properly understood by taking into account the multitude of narrative threads that moved between networks of Jews, Conversos, Catholics and Protestants from one side of the Atlantic to the far side of the Mediterranean and back again. By situating this transmission in a broader historical context, the book reveals the importance of early-modern crises, diasporas and newsgathering networks in generating the eschatological constructs, disseminating them on an international scale, and transforming them through this process of intercultural dissemination into complex new hybrid religious conceptions, expectations, and identities.

[Hypofibrinogenemia associated with steroid therapy for the patients who developed GVHD after allogeneic stem cell transplantation].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Hypofibrinogenemia (plasma fibrinogen level <150 mg/dl) is occasionally observed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and its etiology is often difficult to determine. We herein report that steroids administered for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are associated with the development of hypofibrinogenemia. We retrospectively analyzed the plasma fibrinogen (Fg) levels in 15 consecutive patients who had been administered 1 mg/kg/day (1 mg/kg group) or 2 mg/kg/day (2 mg/kg group) methylprednisolone for the treatment of Grade II to IV acute GVHD. Hypofibrinogenemia had developed in 8 of the 15 patients (53%) by day 50 after the start of steroid treatment, and was observed in 2 of 6 patients in the 1 mg/kg group and 6 of 9 in the 2 mg/kg group. A significant decrease in the Fg level was observed in the 2 mg/kg group (the median value before starting steroid treatment and that on the 20th day after starting steroid treatment were 506 mg/dl and 180 mg/dl, respectively, P=0.0013). Other possible causes of hypofibrinogenemia, including liver dysfunction or disseminated intravascular coagulation, were confirmed in only 3 patients during the observation period. In conclusion, hypofibrinogenemia commonly occurs in patients treated with steroids, especially those administered 2 mg/kg/day methylprednisolone for the treatment of GVHD.
Smart grids as distributed learning control

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The topic of smart grids has received a lot of attention but from a scientific point of view it is a highly imprecise concept. This paper attempts to describe what could ultimately work as a control process to fulfill the aims usually stated for such grids without throwing away some important principles established by the pioneers in power system control. In modern terms, we need distributed (or multi-agent) learning control which is suggested to work with a certain consensus mechanism which appears to leave room for achieving cyber-physical security, robustness and performance goals. © 2012 IEEE.
Migrants’ Home as a Political Issue

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Home, as a place and an experience of it, has meaningful political implications, since it embodies the material and legal boundary between insiders and outsiders. Migration, as the life condition of those who are physically away from their previous homes and often marginalized from the natives' ones, is a unique research venue on the political dimensions of home, at many levels: regarding the need and aspirations for new and better homes, whether achieved or not, which drive migrant life trajectories; for the metaphorical conflation between home and homeland, the nation, or the state, which pervades the public discourse of receiving societies vis-à-vis immigrants and their descendants; for the mixed significance of home, as a discursive and emotional resource in migration-related forms of political mobilization and claims-making.
Az erdélyi menekült tanulók helyzete és sorsa Magyarországon társadalomtörténeti megközelítésben

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Just as nowadays, it has always been an important task to settle and integrate refugees, at least temporarily. One of the most important challenges is the education of refugee students. Based on archival sources and the relevant international literature, I intend to accomplish two objectives in my study. On one hand, I am looking to answer the question how much Hungarian state education and civil society contributed to aiding the refugees from Transylvania after the Romanian attack in 1916. On the other hand, based on empirical research in social history, I would also like to highlight the consequences of the presence of refugee students and teachers in Hungarian schools, especially focusing on the changes in learning outcomes.
The Internet Movie Database and Online Discussions of Religion

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Religion and film scholars have long used the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) as a source for material on audience responses, but not much thought has been given to what the material found on the site constitutes. This article highlights possibilities and problems with researching sites such as the IMDb, discussing how studies of Internet communication, community, and fan culture can help contextualize the material and provide a better comprehension of the discussions of religion on the site. The potential of the IMDb to offer noteworthy voices on religion is exemplified with an analysis of reviews of three religiously themed Nordic films. The views on religion expressed are theorized as a form of ‘playable religion’ reflecting contemporary attitudes to religion.

A STUDY ON THE ENHANCED EFFECT OF 4 AGENTS ON THE CYTOTOXICITY OF DDP AND TAXOL IN VITRO

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The enhanced effect of 4 agents(tamoxifen clomiphene,cyclosporin A and verapamil)wasobserved in vitro on the cytotoxicity of DDP and Taxol on the ovarian cancer cell line by ATP assay. Theresults showed that 4 agents had no cytotoxicity themselves when added alone to the cell line at lower con-centration(1 μg/ml),but they showed enhanced effcets when added with DDP or Taxol.However,athigher concentration(5 μg/ml),tamoxifen,clomiphene and cyclosporin A showed inhibitory effects whenused alone,all 4 agents showed an increased inhibitory rate when they were added with DDP or Taxol atthis concentration and the inhibitory rates were higher than that of chemotherapeutic drtigs or these 4 agentsalone. Either tamoxifen or cyclosporin A showed the stronger effect than that of the other two agents,theymay be used in the chemotherapy of the patients with ovarian cancer as an enhtqncer of DDP and Taxol.Wemeasured estrogen receptor(ER)of this cell line by immunohistochemical method and the result was nega-tive,it was suggested that tamoxifen may be also used in ER-negative ovarian cancer clinically.
An Open Source Project for Politics: Visions of Democracy and Citizenship in American Pirate Parties

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A political battle is being waged over the use and control of culture and information. While media companies and copyright organisations argue for stricter intellectual property laws, a growing body of citizens and netizens challenge the contemporary intellectual property regime. Lately, this has resulted in what could be described as a political mobilisation of piracy. This is maybe most evident in the formation of 'pirate parties,' that see themselves as a digital civil rights movement defending the public domain and the citizen's right to privacy against copyright expansionism and increased surveillance. Since the first Pirate Party was formed in Sweden in 2006, similar parties have spread across the world, from USA to Australia. This chapter draws on a study of the culture and ideology of copyright resistance which involves a series of interviews with representatives of pirate parties in USA and Canada. The study looks into what ideas, ideals and aspirations motivate active Pirate Party members in North America and how this relates to traditional values of a modern, democratic society such as freedom of speech, respect for private property and the public access to culture and information. This chapter focuses particularly on the role of democracy and citizenship in pirate politics. It discusses how the pirate ideology envisions the relationship between the citizen and society in a time when digital technology is rapidly and radically changing the conditions for political and social agency and participation. Does a movement that relies so much on global networking, and sees the principles of swarm intelligence and open source collaboration as the future of democracy, also convey a new kind of relationship between the citizen and the state? How would, in that case, such a pirate citizen be defined and situated, and how does it relate to old conceptions of citizenship and existing political institutions?
Effects of frequency and amplitude of salinity fluctuation on the growth and energy budget of juvenileLitopenaeus vannamei(Boone)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of salinity fluctuation on the growth, intermoult period and energy budget of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei were investigated. Salinity fluctuation regimes were set in different frequencies of 2, 4 and 8 days and different amplitudes of ±2, ±5 and ±10 g L−1 from a control salinity of 20 g L−1. After a 48-day feeding trial, the intermoult period of shrimp became shorter with increasing amplitude and frequency of salinity fluctuation (P<0.05). Both the frequency and the amplitude of salinity fluctuation had a significant effect on the growth rate of L. vannamei juveniles (P<0.05). At the frequency of 4 days, the highest growth rates occurred at amplitudes of 5–10 g L−1, whereas the growth rate was the lowest at 10 g L−1 when the frequency was reduced to 2 days. Feed intake (FI) and assimilation efficiency (AE) of shrimp were also significantly affected by the salinity fluctuation (P<0.05) and matched the growth rate response. The energy expenditures for growth (G), respiration (R), excretion (U) and exuviae (E) to the energy consumed as food (C) were not affected by salinity fluctuation. However, salinity fluctuation significantly affected the percentage of C as faeces (F), with the lowest value occurring at salinity amplitudes of 5–10 g L−1 and frequencies of 4–8 days. Therefore, salinity fluctuations (every 4 days by ±5–10 g L−1) result in higher growth rates than constant salinity conditions (20 g L−1) through greater FI, enhanced feed assimilation and reduced faecal energy loss.
