Correlation between CT Number shift and tissue temperature change during radiofrequency ablation: an ex-vivo study using bovine liver

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Current post-RFA (radiofrequency ablation) evaluation of unresectable liver tumours relies on visual inspection of non-enhancing tissues on the contrasted CT (computed tomography) images. This research investigated the correlation between CT number shift (dHU) and tissue temperature change (dT) during real-time CT-guided RFA of ex-vivo bovine livers. The study aimed to develop a non-invasive CT thermometry method to guide clinicians in assessing ablation outcome. 10 liver samples were individually ablated for 12 minutes using a RFA electrode, powered by an impedance-controlled RF generator (Cool-tipTM, Metronic, USA) and subsequently cooled for 15 minutes. An optical fiber inscribed with 4 equally spaced Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) was inserted sideward through the liver to measure 4 temperature points at the grating positions. CT scans were performed at interval of 3 minutes from 0 to 27 minute. CT numbers at the grating positions were manually extracted, and dHU and dT were computed and plotted to investigate the relationship. From the results, CT number decreased as temperature increased during RFA, and vice versa. A negative linear relationship (y = -0.66x + 1.23, R 2 = 0.925) between dHU and dT was observed. The thermal sensitivity was determined as -0.66 ± 0.03 HU/˚C. The strong correlation between dHU and dT during RFA could be used to estimate tissue temperature based on the CT number measured during real time CT-guided RFA. This approach would help the interventionalists in determining the ablation outcome hence improving treatment efficacy.
The efficiency of energy utilisation by beef cattle

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The efficiency of utilisation of dietary energy may be defined as the slope of the relationship between the heat of combustion of the feed consumed and that of the fat and protein stored in the body.It is the product of the metabolisability of feed energy and the efficiency with which metabolisable energy is used, neither of which are constants, varying with the amount and composition of the diet given.The overall relationship between feed intake and energy retention is outlined and the derivation of its parameters described.These relationships can be used to predict gain in cattle and examples are given of the application of this approach to cattle given extreme diets of barley or of forage.The above approach assumes that the determinants of efficiency are attributes of diet.From results obtained with simple-stomached species it seems likely, however, that efficiency in cattle should also vary with the composition of their gains and particularly with the ratio of fat : protein stored.Evidence that efficiency varies with the composition of gain in ruminants is, however, very conflicting.It is possible that the variable results obtained reflect problems of estimation of the two terms, efficiency of utilisation of energy for fat and protein deposition in these species. RésuméRendement d'utilisation de l'énergie par les bovins pour la production de viande Le rendement d'utilisation de l'énergie des rations peut se définir comme le coefficient de régression de l'énergie fixée dans l'organisme sous forme de lipides et de protéines, en fonction de la quantité d'énergie brute ingérée.C'est le produit de la concentration en énergie métabolisable (EM) de la ration par le rendement d'utilisation de l'E.M., ces 2 facteurs variant avec la composition de la ration.L'auteur présente les grandes lignes de la relation générale entre l'énergie fixée et l'énergie brute ingérée et le calcul des différents termes.Ces relations permettent de prévoir le gain de poids des bovins, comme le montrent des exemples correspondant à des rations extrêmes, d'orge ou de foin.Cette approche suppose que les facteurs du rendement dépendent seulement des carac- téristiques de la ration.Cependant, compte tenu des résultats obtenus chez les animaux monogastriques, il est probable que chez les bovins le rendement d'utilisation de l'énergie varie avec la composition du gain et en particulier avec le rapport lipides fixés/protéines fixées .Les résultats cependant sont contradictoires chez les ruminants, ce qui peut résulter des difficultés d'estimation des rendements d'utilisation de l'énergie pour la fixation de lipides ou de protéines.
Abstract 16626: Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention is Not Associated With Decline in Kidney Function

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may increase the contrast volume. However, the impact of OCT-guided PCI on the incidence of decline in kidney function (DKF) in real-world clinical practice had not been fully evaluated. Methods: Among a total of 1,003 consecutive patients who underwent PCI in our institute, we identified 201 propensity score matched pairs adjusted by baseline factors for DKF with either OCT-guided or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI. The incidence of DKF was compared between the two groups. Patients on hemodialysis were excluded from the analysis. DKF was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level ≥0.5 mg/dl or the relative increase with ≥25% from the baseline value within 48 hours or one month after the PCI. Results: The baseline clinical characteristics including the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (52 vs. 49%, P=0.62) were comparable between the groups. There was no significant difference in contrast volume between the OCT group and the IVUS group (148 vs. 142 ml, P=0.29) though it was significantly greater in the OCT group in cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (175 vs. 156 ml, P=0.026). The incidence of DKF was comparable between the two groups at both 48 hours (0.5% vs. 2%, P=0.37) and one month (4% vs. 8%, P=0.14) after the PCI. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 2.74, 95% confidential interval [CI] 1.18-6.37, P=0.02), ACS (OR 4.13, 95% CI 1.71-9.96, P<0.01) and age (≥70 years old; OR 4.55, 95% CI 1.65-12.6, P<0.01) were the predictors for DKF at either 48 hours or one month. Conclusions: OCT-guided PCI did not increase the incidence of DKF as compared with IVUS-guided PCI in real-world clinical practice.

A cost-benefit analysis for stabilizing shallow Bath Stone mine workings at Corsham, Wiltshire

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A conventional ground investigation for an elevated tank at Box Hill near Corsham in Wiltshire, proved 5 m of thinly bedded oolitic limestone, beneath a veneer of fill. Four weeks before the construction works were to be put out to tender in 1986, a plan of the Brewer’s Yard Mine came to light, which indicated that there were old stone mine workings beneath the tanks, at about 17 m depth. A geotechnical reassessment was therefore commissioned. An examination of the workings revealed that three significant roof collapses had occurred within the mine, directly below the proposed tank. The largest fall had migrated about 3 m above original roof level. It was concluded that future falls were likely. However, an existing elevated tank was located over old workings and although it had been levelled regularly over its 50 year life, it had showed no signs of movement. Consequently a cost-benefit analysis of a number of options was undertaken.
Wonders of International Gastronomy: French, Italian, Hungarian, Indian and Chinese Cuisine

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

With the growing importance of gastronomic science, gastronomic workshops are also playing an important role worldwide. These workshops do not only specialize in the preparation and presentation of healthy eating, sports nutrition, or special diets. Gastronomy experts and nutritionists are also turning to the cuisines of nations with increasing curiosity. In order to provide a comprehensive overview of this, we present the characteristics of French, Italian, Hungarian, Indian, and Chinese cuisine in our manuscript. In addition, we prepare and present dishes that also serve as the basis of gastronomic workshops in accordance with international cuisines. These dishes include: Croassant with almond plant-based drink; Home-made pizza with basil, tomatoes and mozzarella; Hungarian Bean Soup; Home-made kebab with spicy chicken; Chinese noodles. We hope to contribute to the knowledge of international gastronomy and to the global health development with the prepared food.
The lattice dynamics of niobium II. Kohn anomalies in niobium

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The sources of the discrepancies between the experimentally determined phonon frequencies in niobium and the predictions of tensor force-constant models have been investigated. In the regions of reciprocal space where the phonon dispersion is small, the discrepancies are thought to be due to systematic resolution errors. In the rest of reciprocal space, the discrepancies are interpreted in terms of Kohn anomalies, and the shape of portions of the Fermi surface deduced. Of three forms for the Fermi surface in niobium suggested by Mattheiss, the form W2, corresponding to a width (Γ25primeH25prime) of 0·55 rydbergs for the d bands in niobium, is found to agree best with this interpretation.

Spiral of Silence and Social Media Platforms: Investigating The Role of Religiosity

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study postulates a deep inquiry into the spiral of silence that ensues in current communication, exclusively in the sphere of social media platforms. The spiral of silence theory has the idea that if people have a firm belief that their opinions belong to a minority version, they will try to remain silent or be less likely to speak out due to the fear of social isolation. Social media platforms provide an important place for the public sphere by giving unique features to keep anonymity. It is a cross-sectional study in which a 384-sample size has been taken. The study tried to explore the moderating role of religiosity in the spiral of silence model. The mediation analysis revealed that willingness to self-censor mediated the relationship between fear of social isolation and withdrawal behaviors. The moderation analysis demonstrated that the level of religiosity moderated the relationship between fear of social isolation and withdrawal behaviors Those who are more religious less likely to withdrawal behavior.
A novel granulation non-solvent addition method containing hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Atenolol and simvastatin were granulated in combination by non-solvent addition coacervation method to treat hypertension orally. Dissolution test was performed in water containing 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate at 37 0.05 degrees C. FTIR spectrometry, X-ray diffractometry and thermal analysis confirmed the absence of any chemical interaction between polymer and the entrapped drugs. The granules size was about 280-619 μm. Scanning electron microscopy reported irregular morphology of granules. The entrapment efficiency was approximately 90% for atenolol and 70% for simvastatin. A controlled release behavior of both drugs but a burst release phenomenon of simvastatin from the formulations were observed. In conclusion, granules loaded with a hydrophilic and a lipophilic drug were successfully prepared.
Personal Information, Borders, and the New Surveillance Studies

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article reviews and critiques recent scholarship on surveillance and communication technology that involves the crossing of personal information borders. A Sociology of Information framework focusing on the normative elements is proposed as a way to integrate this variegated field. Empirical analysis is particularly needed to test the claims of surveillance scholars, and we suggest some hypotheses. The article concludes with a consideration of conflicting values and empirical trends that make this such a challenging field and suggests some “moral mandates” to guide research in the crossing of personal informational borders, whether this involves individual privacy and accountability or broader social concerns.

PROTECTED CABLE INTERFACES OF THE SENSORYNETWORKS OF THINGS INTERNET

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The principles of construction and parameters of sensor network interfaces are characterized, which are characterized by a large number of sensors and a considerable distance of information transmission to the central point or server. The majority of sensors on the Internet of Things system have little performance. In this case, the sensor network requires protection against interference and interference. Only cable networks are eligible for this group of sensor networks. Sensor networks are most suitable for cable industrial networks. The analysis and comparison of industrial cable network interfaces shows that the most appropriate requirements are the RS-485 interface and its derivative interfaces. All industrial network cable interfaces are very good at satisfying one requirement and not meeting the other. Passive fiber optic network is the most satisfying. It is convenient to use passive fiber optic (PON) technologies to build such a network. There are currently quite a number of passive fiber splitter technologies that can be used to create a multipoint trunk or ring passive fiber optic network. Networks with fiber-optic encoders, which also have a large number for measuring different physical parameters, are very convenient and efficient. For the exchange of information in these networks, it is convenient to use the 1- wire interface protocol, which is supplemented by the use of frequency signals. Such networks will be lightweight and compact over time on moving objects and in hazardous conditions. The materials of the article are of interest for carrying out the educational process in universities, in particular at the Kyiv University named after B. Grinchenko.
CONSTRUCTION OF FLOCCULENT BREWER'S YEAST BY CHROMOSOMAL INTEGRATION OF THE YEAST FLOCCULATION GENEFLO1

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

Yeast flocculation gene FLO1, located on chromosome I of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been cloned previously16. However, it has recently been found that the gene was an in-frame deletion derivative of the chromosomal intact FLO1 gene19. When introduced into non-flocculent industrial strains, including brewer's yeast, the latter gene, FLO1L, containing an open reading frame of 4,611 bp, conferred stronger flocculation than the former gene, FLO1S, containing an open reading frame of 2,586. By chromosomal integration of the ADH1-controlled FLO1L gene, "gene therapy" of the flocculation behaviour of the parent non-flocculent brewer's yeast was successfully achieved.
An innovative longitudinal nurse-midwife mentorship program in rural Malawi: The Global Action in Nursing (GAIN) project

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The Global Action in Nursing (GAIN) project is a partnership between University of California, San Francisco, Partners In Health, and the Ministry of Health, Neno District, Malawi that aims to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality by improving the quality of perinatal care rendered by nurse-midwives. In this report, we describe the design and implementation of a nursing training and mentorship program for frontline nurse-midwives in leadership, quality improvement, and midwifery skills, including the implementation of the World Health Organization Safe Childbirth Checklist and Respectful Maternity Care. Short course trainings were followed by one year of on-site clinical mentorship with the goal of improving systems factors (such as ensuring adequate availability of supplies) as well as reinforcing clinical skills. The program was implemented in Neno District, Malawi, a rural district in southwestern Malawi where approximately 5,000 births occur annually. The program is now in its fifth year of implementation and has become well-embedded in the district. Key lessons learned included stakeholder involvement; flexible and responsive program design; nurse-centered model for mentorship; and program transition to local leadership. Since nurses and midwives are the frontline providers of reproductive health care in Malawi, sustained investment in clinical and leadership training for nurse-midwives, accompanied by health systems strengthening, has the potential to improve quality deficits and therefore the health of mothers and babies in low-resource settings.
Initiatives continue to promote breastfeeding

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Infants' specific nutritional needs are met by human milk. As this is the optimum and preferred means of infant feeding it seems reasonable to expect all infants to be breastfed. The 1980s saw an array of published material relating to breastfeeding. In 1985, 65% of women in the UK chose to commence breastfeeding (Martin and White, 1998). However, most women ceased to use this method of infant feeding within 14days of delivery. Indeed it was identified that only 26% of women continued to totally breastfeed their infants at four months. It is recommended that all infants should be completely breastfed until four months of age, unless it is completely impossible. Therefore, the 26% breastfeeding rate warranted specific attention. A number of issues were highlighted which may have contributed to the decline of breastfeeding rates in the UK.
Teachers Learning: Targeting Inservice on Users’ Needs

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

By working collaboratively with teachers in three secondary schools the researchers have attempted to identify inservice needs of teachers in order to provide inservice more appropriate to the schools' priorities than in the past.The paper describes the means by which attempts were made to translate these aims into action and the difficulties encountered by the researchers along the way.The elements in the research are described in the context of the collaborative model of staff development recently propdsed by the National Committee for the In-Service Training of Teachers in Scotland, and the paper attempts to explore the nature of staff development in education, especially in terms of its relationship to inservice.A concept of professional staff development is mapped out whereby
A Retinoid-Resistant Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Subclone Expresses a Dominant Negative PML-RARα Mutation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract The unique t(15; 17) of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) fuses the PML gene with the retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) gene. Although retinoic acid (RA) inhibits cell growth and induces differentiation in human APL cells, resistance to RA develops both in vitro and in patients. We have developed RA-resistant subclones of the human APL cell line, NB4, whose nuclear extracts display altered RA binding. In the RA-resistant subclone, R4, we find an absence of ligand binding of PML-RARα associated with a point mutation changing a leucine to proline in the ligand-binding domain of the fusion PML-RARα protein. In contrast to mutations in RARα found in retinoid-resistant HL60 cells, in this NB4 subclone, the coexpressed RARα remains wild-type. In vitro expression of a cloned PML-RARα with the observed mutation in R4 confirms that this amino acid change causes the loss of ligand binding, but the mutant PML-RARα protein retains the ability to heterodimerize with RXRα and thus to bind to retinoid response elements (RAREs). This leads to a dominant negative block of transcription from RAREs that is dose-dependent and not relieved by RA. An unrearranged RARα engineered with this mutation also lost ligand binding and inhibited transcription in a dominant negative manner. We then found that the mutant PML-RARα selectively alters regulation of gene expression in the R4 cell line. R4 cells have lost retinoid-regulation of RXRα and RARβ and the RA-induced loss of PML-RARα protein seen in NB4 cells, but retain retinoid-induction of CD18 and CD38. Thus, the R4 cell line provides data supporting the presence of an RARα-mediated pathway that is independent from gene expression induced or repressed by PML-RARα. The high level of retinoid resistance in vitro and in vivo of cells from some relapsed APL patients suggests similar molecular changes may occur clinically.

Animus et conscientia – gnozeologiczne przesłanki Augustyńskiej aksjologii

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

It all points to the evidence that experience in the onto-gnoseological approach was defined by the thinker from Tagasty as a joint functioning of cognitive and intellectual acts, which is not without significance when it comes to the abovementioned relationship of axiology and gnoseology. The phenomenon of conscience demonstrates the true value of humanity, in which experience seen from onto-gnoseological point of view is a condition for the realization of good and love. It seems clear that the reflections of the Christian thinker convey an extremely complex introspection structure, in which we can capture several interpretations of internal conscience, such as experience that results from co-action of intellectual and volitional functions. For the Augustine, a man who wants to live in accordance with his nature, i.e. pursues happiness and wants to be truly authentic, must constitute a harmonious whole, whose basic elements, such as the psyche, the spiritual sphere (in the biblical sense) and the flesh, create a coherent system called a person. It is clear from Augustin’s ontology that human is good by nature, and hence if he sins, it is because he acts against his nature. This great philosopher strongly emphasizes that evil is a deviation and distortion of the creation and thus of the law established by God.
