Utilization of a Resuscitative Care Unit for Initial Triage, Management, and Disposition of Minor Intracranial Hemorrhage

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives: Management of minor intracranial hemorrhage typically involves ICU admission. ICU capacity is increasingly strained, resulting in increased emergency department boarding of critically ill patients. Our objectives were to implement a novel protocol using our emergency department–based resuscitative care unit for management of management of minor intracranial hemorrhage patients in the emergency department setting, to provide timely and appropriate critical care, and to decrease inpatient ICU utilization. Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Setting: Single large academic medical center in the United States Patients: Adult patients presenting to the emergency department with management of minor intracranial hemorrhage managed via our resuscitative care unit-management of minor intracranial hemorrhage protocol from September 2017 to April 2019. Intervention: Implementation of a resuscitative care unit-management of minor intracranial hemorrhage protocol. Measurements and Main Results: Demographic data, need for vasoactive infusions in the emergency department, emergency department and hospital length of stay, emergency department disposition, and 30-day outcomes (readmission, mortality, need for neurosurgical procedure) were collected. Fifty-five patients were identified, with mean age 67.1 ± 20.0 years. Mean Glasgow Coma Scale on presentation was 14.8 ± 0.5, and 66% had a history of trauma. Locations of hemorrhage were subdural (42%), intraparenchymal (35%), subarachnoid (15%), intratumoral (7%), and intraventricular (2%). Nineteen patients (35%) were discharged from the emergency department, 22 (40%) were admitted to general care, and 14 (26%) were admitted to intensive care. In discharged patients, there was no mortality or neurosurgical interventions at 30 days. In a subgroup analysis of 36 patients with a traumatic mechanism, 18 (50%) were able to be discharged from the emergency department after management in the resuscitative care unit. Conclusions: Initial management of emergency department patients with minor intracranial hemorrhage in a resuscitative care unit appears safe and feasible and was associated with a substantial rate of discharge from the emergency department (35%) and a low rate of admission to an inpatient ICU (26%). Use of this strategy was associated with rapid initiation of ICU-level care, which may help alleviate the challenge of increasing emergency department boarding time of critically ill patients facing many institutions.
The natural anti-Gal antibody, the B-like antigen, and human red cell aging.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The specificity of antibodies bound to senescent red cells has been assessed by elution analysis with various carbohydrates. A large proportion of these antibodies bound to normal senescent red cells and some pathologic red cells display a specificity to alpha-galactosyl carbohydrates. Anti-Gal (anti-alpha-galactosyl antibody) constitutes as much as 1% of circulating IgG in humans; it interacts specifically with Gal alpha 1----3Gal glycosidic structures. This study suggests that a cryptic B-like Gal alpha----3 Gal epitope is exposed on red cells as they age in the circulation and subsequently binds the anti-Gal antibody. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that, in some hemolytic disorders, pathologic alterations in the red cells may lead to premature exposure of this antigen, and, hence, to increased extravascular lysis observed in such diseases as beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The PHISco simulation tool was known to be able to predict the SEU cross section for incident ions. This tool is improved in this work to also predict the MCU rate. Experimental and predicted results are shown to be in good agreement on a 90 nm bulk SRAM. The simulated SRAM structure includes the N-well, which is known to be a barrier to the charge carriers.
Water Governance and Management in Morocco

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

According to the UN, by 2030, water demand will have exceeded global production by 40%. Forecasts for Morocco estimate that 80% of its water resources will be lost over the next 25 years. According to the HCP (2020), the potential of Morocco's natural water resources is estimated at 22 billion m3. According to current estimates, the average per capita supply of fresh water per year currently does not exceed 650 m3. Depending on the uncertainties related to the water issue, Morocco has set up an institutional and legislative governance mechanism! However, these structures lack financial means and human resources. This chapter will attempt to take stock of the water situation in Morocco by examining the available sources, the pressures exerted and will question the policies and mechanisms of water governance and management, Finally, the chapter will propose solutions and future opportunities for a better sustainable and competitive governance of water resources.

Upregulation of Hb expression appears to be an intrinsic protective mechanism to facilitate cellular oxygenation and may also provide free radical scavenging.
Representing the Arabian Gulf in Malayalam Migration Narratives

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The largescale circular migration of labour from Kerala to the countries that form the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is more than half a century old. By the late twentieth century, when migration had become a regular phenomenon in Kerala, many writers felt that the Gulf had not been accurately represented in Malayali writing. This crisis in representation stemmed from various factors: the generational shift in migration from Kerala, drastic economic and social changes in the Gulf and in Kerala, and the persistence of the image of an old Arabia and the contemporary Gulf in an idiom of sacrality and wonder respectively. Reading Babu Bharadwaj's Pravasiyude Kurippukal (2000) as an exemplary Gulf memoir from the early twenty-first century, this chapter illustrates the strategies adopted by the memoirist to imagine the Gulf as a space of lived labour, depicting on the one hand the continued oceanic collective memory of ongoing transactions between the Arabian Gulf and Kerala, and, on the other, portraying the Gulf as a space of strangeness that each labourer has to individually live through in an embodied manner.
Building a retargetable local instruction scheduler

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

While high-performance architectures have included some Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) for at least 25 years, recent computer designs have exploited ILP to a significant degree. Although a local scheduler is not sufficient for generation of excellent ILP code, it is necessary as many global scheduling and software pipelining techniques rely on a local scheduler. Global scheduling techniques are well-documented, yet practical discussions of local schedulers are notable in their absence. This paper strives to remedy that disparity by describing a list scheduling framework and several important practical details that, taken together, allow implementation of an efficient local instruction scheduler that is easily retargetable for ILP architectures. The foundation of our machine-independent instruction scheduler is a timing model that allows easy retargetability to a wide range of architectures. In addition to describing how a general list-scheduler can be implemented within the framework of our timing model, experimental results indicate that lookahead scheduling can profoundly improve a scheduler's ability to produce a legal schedule. Further experimental data shows that deciding to schedule a data dependence DAG (DDD) in forward or reverse order depends significantly upon that target architecture, suggesting the possibility of scheduling in each direction and using the best of the two schedules. In contrast, experiments demonstrate little difference in code quality for schedules generated by either instruction-driven or operation-driven schedulers. Thus, the inherent flexibility of operation-driven methods suggests including that approach in a retargetable instruction scheduler. List scheduling is, of course, a heuristic scheduling method. A variety of scheduling heuristics are presented. In addition, the paper describes a method, using a genetic algorithm search, to ‘fine-tune’ the weights of twenty-four individual heuristics to form a DDD-node heuristic tuned to a specific architecture. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The maximum number of torque-generating units in the flagellar motor of Escherichia coli is at least 11

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Torque is generated in the rotary motor at the base of the bacterial flagellum by ion translocating stator units anchored to the peptidoglycan cell wall. Stator units are composed of the proteins MotA and MotB in proton-driven motors, and they are composed of PomA and PomB in sodium-driven motors. Strains of Escherichia coli lacking functional stator proteins produce flagella that do not rotate, and induced expression of the missing proteins leads to restoration of motor rotation in discrete speed increments, a process known as “resurrection.” Early work suggested a maximum of eight units. More recent indications that WT motors may contain more than eight units, based on recovery of disrupted motors, are inconclusive. Here we demonstrate conclusively that the maximum number of units in a motor is at least 11. Using back-focal-plane interferometry of 1-μm polystyrene beads attached to flagella, we observed at least 11 distinct speed increments during resurrection with three different combinations of stator proteins in E. coli . The average torques generated by a single unit and a fully induced motor were lower than previous estimates. Speed increments at high numbers of units are smaller than those at low numbers, indicating that not all units in a fully induced motor are equivalent.
A Comparative Study of Urbanization’s Impact on Agricultural Land Between China, Pakistan, and Germany

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Accelerated urbanization leads to high demand for the constructed area which causes loss of natural resources and becomes a major challenge for arable land loss. The aim of this study is to identify the urbanization’s impact on agricultural land in China, Pakistan, and Germany. Time series data of arable land, urban population growth rate, and agricultural value added percentage of GDP and industrial value-added percentage of GDP were used to found empirical results. Main regression results indicate that urban population growth rate and industrial value of Pakistan impacts negatively and significantly on per capita arable land and the results of China and Germany the industrial value added of GDP impacts negatively and the urban population growth rate impacts positively and significantly with per capita arable land. The findings show that there was a more arable land loss in Pakistan while in China and Germany there was significantly less loss of arable land by industrialization. So Pakistan can learn experience from China and Germany to control arable land loss due to urbanization. Keywords: Arable land, China and Germany, GDP, industrial value added, Pakistan, Urban Population growth rate

Thermoforming of wood veneer composite sheets

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Thermoforming of wood veneers into profiles is a novel idea and the focus of this paper is to study the formability characteristics of thin radiata pine ( Pinus radiata D. Don) veneers, which are generally used as surface coverings. Radiata pine is well suited as a raw material for furniture, joinery, and interior architectural products. This is because it has excellent turning, shaping, and laminating properties and readily achieves brilliant stain and paint finishes. In this study, radiata pine veneers were softened by immersion in a hot water bath and then thermoformed by means of heated dies/moulds. The formability characteristics were investigated by conducting single-curvature V-bending tests. The influence of the forming method on the shape conformance of softened veneers under single- and multiple-bend conditions was examined. The paper also discusses the influences of manufacturing parameters that include the softening method, the die temperature, the duration of forming, the ratio of bend radius to veneer thickness, and the veneer architecture. The study clearly establishes the feasibility of forming veneers into multi-bend products in a semi-continuous manner using matched dies.
Parent–Child Eye Gaze Congruency to Emotional Expressions Mediated by Child Aesthetic Sensitivity

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Background/Objectives: Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), particularly its aesthetic subcomponent (Aesthetic Sensitivity; AES), has been linked to individual differences in emotional processing. This study examined whether parental visual attention to emotional facial expressions predicts corresponding attentional patterns in their children, and whether this intergenerational concordance is mediated by child AES and moderated by child empathy. Methods: A sample of 124 Greek Cypriot parent–child dyads (children aged 7–12 years) participated in an eye-tracking experiment. Both parents and children viewed static emotional facial expressions (angry, sad, fearful, happy). Parents also completed questionnaires assessing their child’s SPS, empathy (cognitive and affective), and emotional functioning. Regression analyses and moderated mediation models were employed to explore associations between parental and child gaze patterns. Results: Children’s fixation on angry eyes was significantly predicted by parental fixation duration on the same region, as well as by child AES and empathy levels. Moderated mediation analyses revealed that the association between parent and child gaze to angry eyes was significantly mediated by child AES. However, neither cognitive nor affective empathy significantly moderated this mediation effect. Conclusions: Findings suggest that child AES plays a key mediating role in the intergenerational transmission of attentional biases to emotional stimuli. While empathy was independently associated with children’s gaze behavior, it did not moderate the AES-mediated pathway. These results highlight the importance of trait-level child sensitivity in shaping shared emotional attention patterns within families.

Effects of the health insurance coverage extension on the use of outpatient services among small children in rural China.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

A new public health insurance scheme has been gradually introduced in rural provinces in China since 2003. This would likely cause an increment in the use of health services. It is known that the association between health insurance coverage and health service utilization varies among different age groups. This study aims to examine the association between extending health insurance coverage and increment in outpatient service utilization of small children in rural China, and to identify other factors associated with the outpatient service utilization. A household survey was conducted in 2 counties in north China in August 2010, targeting 107 selected households with a child aged 12-59 months. The questionnaire included modules on demographic information such as ages of children and parents, enrollment status of health insurance, the number of episodes of illness as perceived by parents, month of incidence of episode and outpatient service utilization at each episode. Based on the utilization at each episode of illness, a random effects logistic regression model was employed to analyze the association. It was found that eligibility for the reimbursement of outpatient medical expenses was not significantly associated with decision to seek care or choice of health facility. This might be in part due to the low level of reimbursement which could discourage the use of insured, and to the close relationship with village clinic workers which would encourage the use of uninsured. Three other factors were significantly associated with increment in the outpatient service utilization; age of children, mother's education, and number of children in a household.
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR Can Be False Positive in Normal Prostatic Tissue

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in the cytosol of normal prostate tissue and highly overexpressed on the membrane of prostate cancer, therefore increasingly used to image prostate cancer. We report a case of a 65-year-old man with two focal PSMA-positive areas on a 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MR, one corresponding to a prostate carcinoma (Gleason score 4 + 3) and another region without any evidence of malignancy, but with corresponding high PSMA-expression on immunohistochemistry.
