Caudal Septoplasty for Treatment of C-Shaped Craniocaudal Deviation Using Synthetic Struts

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We describe our technique using polydioxanone (PDS) foil for the correction and stabilization of caudal septal deviation. In addition, we evaluate the effectiveness of this technique in the treatment of the C-shaped craniocaudal sepal deviation. A retrospective review was conducted of 55 patients who underwent open septorhinoplasty with PDS splinting for the correction of a caudal septal deviation. The mean age was 35 years (range, 25-45 years), 38 of 55 (69%) were females and all had symptomatic nasal obstruction. Preoperatively, there were osteocartilaginous involvement and hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate at the opposite side of the septal deviation in all cases; whereas 30 (54.5%) patients had a bone spur, 20 (36.3%) had collapse of the external nasal valve due to septal deviation. Five patients complained of sinus headache that resolved after surgical correction. All patients were pleased with their functional improvement and 52 (95%) with their aesthetic results. Only 1 patient required surgical revision, which was due to the development of asymptomatic posterior septal perforation identified at follow-up endoscopy. There were no additional postoperative complications. Splinting of the septal cartilage with a PDS foil was feasible, safe, and effective for the treatment of severe caudal septal deviation. This technique emerges as an alternative to traditional cartilage grafting, especially in patients with insufficient cartilage for harvest or in patients with thin nasal dorsum in whom the use of a spreader graft can widen the nose and modify the normal nose contours, providing long-term support and stability of the septum.
Haemoparasites of cattle slaughtered for sale within Gboko Metropolis of Benue State, Nigeria

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

The haemoparasitemia of cattle slaughtered in the three abattoirs in Gboko, Benue State, was determined between the months of June, 2012 and July, 2013. Four-hundred and five blood samples were collected at three abattoirs (Gboko, Yandev and Mkar). Thin, thick smears and Buffy coat preparation methods were used in the blood examination. An overall parasitemia of 28.9% (117/405) was obtained, 16.5% for single infection and 12.3% for mixed infection ( p >0.05). Abattoir-specific prevalence indicated 10.1%, 12.8% and 5.9% for Gboko, Yandev, and Mkar abattoirs respectively ( p >0.05). The single infection prevalence showed 2.7%, 2.0%, 2.0% and 9.9% for Babesia bigemina, Trypanosoma brucei, Theileria parva and Anaplasma spp respectively. Sex-related parasitemia revealed that females had higher prevalence 89 (31.8%) than males 28 (22.4%) which was statistically significant ( p 0.05). Overall mean PCV was 30.09%. The mean PCV of infected cattle was 28.07%, while that of non-infected cattle was 32.10% ( p >0.05). There was a significant difference ( p <0.0) between the number of cattle infected without anaemia and those infected and anaemic. The implications of the haemoparasites detected and anaemia on cattle production in Gboko was discussed. Ectoparasites were the primary vectors of haemoparasites, therefore levels of ectoparasites and poor management practices should be controlled in order to maximize wholesome beef for the general populace. Keywords: haemoparasites, cattle, slaughtered, sale.
Mezi Prahou a Paříží. Neznámé a málo známé „hrdinky“ česko-francouzského kulturního světa první poloviny 20. století

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article describes the lives of several Czech-French female ‘heroines’, writers and scientists active in the first half of the 20th century who we encountered in connection with research into book provenances in Czech and French institutions and whose fates are little known, or even unknown, to the Czech and French cultural public. The first part, entitled ‘Paris in Prague and Prague in Paris’, tells the story of two women, a Francophone Belgian and a Czech living in France. The second part, ‘French Women Married to Czechs’, maps the lives of three French women who were engaged in pedagogical, translation, educational and scientific activities and who were forced to leave Czechoslovakia after 1948 for political reasons. The last part, ‘The Daughter of a Famous Father’, deals with the life of the Bohemist Jacqueline Mazon, the daughter of the distinguished French Slavist André Mazon.
A novel BRCA1 duplication and new insights on the spectrum and frequency of germline large genomic rearrangements in BRCA1/BRCA2

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

Abstract Heritable breast cancers account for 5 to 10% of all breast cancers, and monogenic, highly penetrant genes cause them. Around 90% of pathogenic variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are observed using gene sequencing, with another 10% identified through gene duplication/deletion analysis, which differs across various communities. In this study, we performed a next-generation sequencing panel and MLPA on 1484 patients to explain the importance of recurrent germline duplications/deletions of BRCA1-2 and their clinical results and determine how often BRCA gene LGRs were seen in people suspected of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. The large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) frequency was approximately 1% (14/1484). All the 14 mutations were heterozygous and detected in patients with breast cancer. BRCA1 mutations were more predominant (n = 8, 57.1%) than BRCA2 mutations (6, 42.9%). The most common recurrent mutations were BRCA2 exon three and BRCA1 exon 24 (23) deletions. To the best of our knowledge, BRCA1 5'UTR-exon11 duplication has never been reported before. Testing with MLPA is essential to identify patients at high risk. Our data demonstrate that BRCA1-2 LGRs should be considered when ordering genetic testing for individuals with a personal or family history of cancer, particularly breast cancer. Further research could shed light on BRCA1-2 LGRs' unique carcinogenesis roles.
Electrically detected phonon spectroscopy in double quantum dots

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We theoretically study the dephasing effect by the phonon emission on nonequilibrium transport at temperature T = 0, in T-shaped double quantum dots in which one of the dots is connected to external leads (dot 1) and the other is disconnected (dot 2). The differential conductance shows a dip of transmission zero, which is sensitive to the dephasing by the phonon emission. We show that (i) the phonon emission from dot 1 is dephasing-free; it does not affect the conductance dip. (ii) The conductance dip changes as a function of bias voltage, reflecting a product of the density of states for phonons and strength of electron-phonon coupling in dot 2. This implies the electrically detected phonon spectroscopy.
Vacuum systems for cold atom sensors on microgravity platforms

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Cooling atoms to Nano-Kelvin requires an ultra-high vacuum system with complex features, such as coated optical accesses, \nparamagnetic materials, or differential pumping stages. Furthermore, the sensitivity of atom interferometers, one promising \napplication of ultra-cold atoms, scales with the free evolution time (T) of the cold ensembles. In order to increase T, microgravity \nbecomes necessary. Hence, the development of reliable, miniaturized UHV systems with the capability to withstand the rough \nenvironment of microgravity platforms is a key task to pave the way for high performance cold atom instruments. \nIn order to minimize such complex vacuum systems various tests have to be performed. For instance the measurement of \noutgassing rates for critical components inside the chamber and leakage rates of metal sealed windows allow a more detailed \ndimensioning of the vacuum pumps. \nIn addition to the challenge of miniaturization, most of the microgravity platforms are linked to a rough thermal and mechanical \nenvironment. Vacuum pumps and seals are supposed to endure vibrations and loads of rocket launches or drop tower impacts. In \nthe case of the sounding rocket mission MAIUS, the motors induced loads to the payload of up to 13 g. \nThis talk presents the challenges for vacuum systems on microgravity platforms. Test beds for outgassing rate measurement, \nwindow sealing technologies and loaded CF flanges are shown and first results for the tests are given
Self-full ceers and the uniform join operator

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A computably enumerable equivalence relation (ceer) $X$ is called self-full if whenever $f$ is a reduction of $X$ to $X$, then the range of $f$ intersects all $X$-equivalence classes. It is known that the infinite self-full ceers properly contain the dark ceers, i.e. the infinite ceers which do not admit an infinite computably enumerable transversal. Unlike the collection of dark ceers, which are closed under the operation of uniform join, we answer a question from [ 4] by showing that there are self-full ceers $X$ and $Y$ so that their uniform join $X\oplus Y$ is non-self-full. We then define and examine the hereditarily self-full ceers, which are the self-full ceers $X$ so that for any self-full $Y$, $X\oplus Y$ is also self-full: we show that they are closed under uniform join and that every non-universal degree in ${\operatorname{\textbf{Ceers}}}_{\operatorname{{\mathcal{I}}}}$ have infinitely many incomparable hereditarily self-full strong minimal covers. In particular, every non-universal ceer is bounded by a hereditarily self-full ceer. Thus, the hereditarily self-full ceers form a properly intermediate class in between the dark ceers and the infinite self-full ceers, which is closed under $\oplus $.
Vibration Analysis in Bearings for Failure Prevention using CNN

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Timely failure detection for bearings is of great importance to prevent economic loses in the industry. In this article we propose a method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to estimate the level of wear in bearings. First of all, an automatic labeling of the raw vibration data is performed to obtain different levels of bearing wear, by means of the Root Mean Square features along with the Shannon's entropy to extract features from the raw data, which is then grouped in seven different classes using the K-means algorithm to obtain the labels. Then, the raw vibration data is converted into small square images, each sample of the data representing one pixel of the image. Following this, we propose a CNN model based on the AlexNet architecture to classify the wear level and diagnose the rotatory system. To train the network and validate our proposal, we use a dataset from the center of Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS), and extensively compare it with other methods reported in the literature. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy proved to be excellent, outperforming other approaches in the state-of-the-art.
Forgotten but not Forgiven: Managing a Calcified Double-J Stent and Bladder Stone

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with a history of obstructive pyelonephritis who developed a calcified ureteral stent. This rare complication emphasizes the critical need for regular follow-up in patients with indwelling ureteral stents to prevent severe outcomes. The patient’s condition was effectively managed using a combination of endoscopic and surgical techniques, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to addressing such complex clinical scenarios. This case not only sheds light on the potential complications associated with ureteral stents but also underscores the importance of early detection and timely intervention to optimize patient outcomes.
Asymptotic cosmological solutions: orthogonal Bianchi type-II models

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The time evolution of the orthogonal spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II models is analysed by applying qualitative techniques to the reduced and regularised differential system of Rosquist and Jantzen (1988). This enables the author to obtain the asymptotic behaviour of solutions near the initial singularity and in the distant future. A global picture emerges in which the general orthogonal type-II solution is shown to be spiralling about the non-LRS solution found by Collins (1971). The author also gives an example how one can obtain exact solutions with help of the series method developed by Picard (1928).

38.13: a monoclonal antibody directed against a Burkitt's lymphoma-associated antigen and its use as carrier for toxins.

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

We have previously described a monoclonal antibody, referred to as 38.13, reacting with most Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) derived lines, both with and without Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but not reacting with EBV-positive lymphoblastoid cell lines (Wiels et al., 1981, 1982). The antibody reacted with 41 BL lines out of 57 tested. The target antigen, BLA, was shown to be a neutral glycolipid, identified as globotriaosylceramide (Gal alpha 1----4Gal beta 1----4 Glc beta 1----1 ceramide) (Nudelman et al., 1983). This substance is known as the blood group antigen Pk, a normal intermediate in the P-substance synthesis. The 38.13 antibody was covalently linked to either ricin-A chain or gelonin toxin, and its anti-BL specificity remained unaffected. Both immunotoxins were highly cytotoxic for cultured BL cells. The kinetics of the toxic effects of the immunotoxins on these cells appeared to be strikingly fast, since 50% protein synthesis inhibition was achieved after two hours' incubation. These kinetics are similar to those obtained with entire ricin, and clearly different from those observed when using immunotoxins directed against protein antigens (16-30 h). When longer incubation times are used, killing of apparently irrelevant targets was reproducibly observed. These data suggest the presence of a low number of antigenic sites on non-Burkitt cells. The detection of a low number of antigenic sites by immunotoxins directed towards such glycolipid antigens might not be a disadvantage, but might rather permit efficient and rapid killing of a wide variety of tumour cells.
Assess Farmer’s Skills on Chickpea (Cicer arietinum (L.) Seed Qualities and its Components in East showa Zone, Ethiopia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In Ethiopia, chickpea is an important grain legume next to faba bean and common bean both in terms of area coverage and production. It is mainly grown as a source of food protein, income generation, and soil fertility restoration and used for animal feed. Quality seed production and associated technologies could be mentioned among the major challenges that limit chickpea production and productivity in Ethiopia. This study was therefore conducted to investigate the experiences and perception of farmers regarding chickpea seed quality. Two representative districts (Ada and Lume) were systematically selected from the major chickpea growing area. 84 seed producers were randomly selected from the districts and interviewed to gather information on perception and experience of chickpea seed production systems. The survey result indicated high adoption rate for improved chickpea varieties in the study areas. Arerti and Habru were among the dominant and widely grown chickpea varieties in the districts. Half of the farmers in the study area experienced that seed quality test are mandatory process in the seed production systems.In the study area, disease is as a major challenge for chickpea seed production so; the seed regulatory unit should consider future work associated to seed health.
Reproducibility and speed of landmarking process n cephalometric analysis using two input devices: mouse-driven cursor versus pen

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

To define if the new portable appliances, like smartphone, iPad, small laptop and tablet can be used in cephalometric tracing without dropping out the validity of any measurement. METHODS:We investigated and compared the reproducibility and the speed of landmarks identification process on lateral X-rays in two input devices: a mouse-driven cursor and a pen used as input means in mobile devices. One expert located 22 landmarks on 15 lateral X-rays in a repeated measure design two times, at time T1 and T2, after at least one month. The Intraclass Correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the reproducibility for each landmark tracing and the agreement between the value derived from both input devices. Also, the mean errors in measurements, the standard deviation and the Friedman Test significans (P < 0.05) between both input were statistically evaluated. RESULTS:All landmarks had a high agreement and the Friedman Test indicated statistically significant differences (P<0.05) for the identification of Na, Po, Pt, PNS, Ba, Pg, Gn, UIE, UIA, APOcc and PPOcc landmarks. CONCLUSIONS:Even if the mouse input give higher agreement for landmark tracing the differences are really minimal and they can be ignored in private practice. We suggest the adequacy of pen input in clinical setting.
Modulation of Calcium Channels in Cardiac and Neuronal Cells by an Endogenous Peptide

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Calcium channels mediate the generation of action potentials, pacemaking, excitation-contraction coupling, and secretion and signal integration in muscle, secretory, and neuronal cells. The physiological regulation of the L-type calcium channel is thought to be mediated primarily by guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins). A low molecular weight endogenous peptide has been isolated and purified from rat brain. This peptide regulates up and down the cardiac and neuronal calcium channels, respectively. In cardiac myocytes, the peptide-induced enhancement of the L-type calcium current had a slow onset (half-time ≈75 seconds), occurred via a G protein-independent mechanism, and could not be inhibited by α 1 -adrenergic, β-adrenergic, or angiotensin II blockers. In neuronal cells, on the other hand, the negative effect had a rapid onset (half-time <500 milliseconds) and was observed on both T-type and L-type calcium channels.
The role of second-order vision in discriminating shading versus material changes

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Human vision is sensitive to both first-order information (luminance modulations, LM) and second-order information as conveyed by modulations of the local luminance contrast (CM) or amplitude (AM) of a visual texture. However, the role of second order vision is not yet clear. Johnson and Baker (JOSA-A, 21, 913–925, 2004) found that first- and second-order cues are correlated in natural images, but Schofield (Perception, 29, 1071–1086, 2000) showed that the sign of this relationship varies from image to image, suggesting that the phase relationship of the two cues may be an important environmental factor. We studied perceptual responses to mixtures of LM and AM (Schofield et al, Vision Research, 46, 3462–3482, 2006). Observers saw in-phase mixes (LM+AM) as strongly undulating surfaces via shape-from-shading. Negative (anti-phase) mixes (LM-AM) were also seen as undulations when presented alone. However, when LM-AM was presented together with LM+AM in a plaid the anti-phase cue was seen as flat - like strips of material laid across an undulating surface. Crucially, the perception of LM-AM depends on the context in which it is presented. It is tempting to suppose that these contextual effects have a high-level origin, but we now show that our results can be predicted by a simple, filter-based, bottom-up model. Images are passed through two linear channels with orthogonal preferred orientations and through two non-linear, filter-rectify-filter channels whose second-stage properties match those of the linear channels. Linear and non-linear channel outputs are combined by addition within each orientation and then subjected to mutual, cross-orientation inhibition prior to a final summation stage. The model outputs a shading map from which we estimate surface undulations. Both LM+AM and LM-AM produce undulations when presented alone, but for plaids, the LM+AM component dominates the LM-AM component and the latter cue does not produce undulations.
Growth and reproduction of the squid Illex coindetii Verany, 1839 in the central Mediterranean Sea

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Life span, growth and cost of reproduction of Illex coindetii were examined for the first time in the southern Adriatic Sea, central Mediterranean Sea. Age and growth were investigated through statoliths reading. Cost of reproduction was explored by studying the relative investment between somatic and gonad growth. The life span of I. coindetii was less than nine months in both sexes. Females (128-234 days) showed longer life span than males (124-178 days). In both sexes the linear model best described the mantle length-at age data, while the exponential model provided the best fit to the total weight-at-age data. In terms of mantle length, females grew faster than males (average growth rate was 1.33 mm day- 1 in females and 1.00 mm day-1 in males). In terms of total weight, no significant differences were highlighted between growth curves of males and females. Mantle length, total weight, mantle weight and fin weight increased up to the latest maturity stage in both sexes. Immature and maturing individuals showed poorer body condition than mature counterparts in both sexes. Some evidences of a reproductive strategy more similar to a multiple-spawning than to a single-spawning species were found.
Mirror Movements Identified in Patients with Moebius Syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Moebius syndrome is a rare disorder with minimum clinical criteria of congenital facial weakness in association with impairment in abduction of one or both eyes. Mirror movements are not known to be associated with Moebius syndrome. Case Report: We present three patients who meet minimum criteria for a diagnosis of Moebius syndrome and who also display mirror movements. Discussion: This case series suggests that Moebius syndrome may be associated with mirror movements. Further investigation to delineate the genetic etiologies of Moebius syndrome is ongoing. Patients with Moebius syndrome and mirror movements may represent a specific subclass of this disorder.
