Jail Booking as an Occasion for HIV Care Reengagement: A Surveillance-Based Study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objectives. To examine population and HIV care outcomes of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) at their first incarceration of 2014 in 2 county jails in King County, Washington. Methods. Using HIV surveillance data linked with jail booking data, we examined demographic information, viral loads, CD4 counts, and incarceration details for the period prior to jail booking, during incarceration, and year following jail release. Results. In 2014, 202 PLWHA were incarcerated, 51% of whom were virally nonsuppressed at booking. This population represented approximately 3% of all HIV-diagnosed persons and 7% of virally nonsuppressed persons in King County. Within a year of release, 62% were virally suppressed, compared with 79% of the general HIV-diagnosed population in King County. Conclusions. Incarcerated PLWHA are disproportionately virally nonsuppressed compared with nonincarcerated PLWHA up to a year after release from jail. Public Health Implications. Coordination of health information exchange between the health department and jails could enhance public health efforts to improve the HIV care continuum.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The synthesized fused 1,2,4-triazines were tested for their potential antimicrobial activity resulting from the literature data. Microbiological screening tests conducted in relation to 54 strains of Gram-positive and 52 strains of Gram-negative bacteria, 6 strains of yeast-like fungi and 3 strains of moulds showed that these compounds in examined concentrations 100 mg ml(-1) and 200 mg ml(-1) had no influence on the growth of microorganisms tested. The microbiological screening tests afforded to limit the possible biological spectrum of activity of tested compounds.
Data dependency reduction in Dynamic Programming matrix

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Dynamic Programming (DP) plays an important role in solving a large number of computational problems. As the number of cores per processor is increasing rapidly, new software must be capable of exploiting the advantages of multicore architectures. A typical DP begins with constructing a matrix, and then calculating each element one by one. The standard parallelization spawns multiple threads, one for each row, while maintains the data dependency via thread synchronization. However, as the number of cores increase, the performance degrades due to data dependency. Herein, we propose a novel method for calculating a DP matrix in parallel. In contrast to the standard method that always calculates from up to down and left to right, our method performs the calculation in multiple directions. Therefore, the wait time for data dependency is remarkably reduced. To demonstrate our method, a local sequence alignment algorithm called Smith-Waterman (SW) was chosen as an instance of DP. However, our method is not only limited to SW algorithm, but it is applicable to other DP problems that have the similar patterns of data dependency. A comparison with the standard method was conducted on HP Z800 Workstation equipped with two quad-core processors. The results show that our method performs significantly faster than the classical approach.
Management of Endo-perio Lesion by Guided Tissue Regeneration: A Case Report

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

To diagnose and to treat, is a crucial part of management of an endo-perio lesion. The sign and symptomsof endo-perio lesion are difficult to accountable for a general dental surgeon. For that reason, it needs moredetailed examination and definite treatment plan. The outcomes of endo-perio lesion are highly unpredictabledue its multiple etiological factors. The primary and secondary etiological factors of endo-perio lesionsmay have numerous variation and ultimately concludes the definite treatment plan complex. A 43-year-oldfemale patientcame to Department of Periodontics, with a chief complaint of pain in right posterior lowertooth region.On clinical examination, there was 5mm of periodontal pocket, occlusal restoration in 47. Thetreatment plan was made as first endodontic treatment followed by periodontal treatment. So endodontictreatment was carried out first in 47 after oral prophylaxis. Then under local anesthesia, open debridementwas done in 47 and bone graft was placed in the defect. Resorbable membrane was placed over the graft.Suture was placed and periodontal dressing was given and followed up to 9 months. She was very satisfiedwith the result.
Parental perceptions of the effectiveness of equine therapy for children with special health care needs

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of the research was to examine the parental perceptions of the effectiveness of equine therapy for children with special health care needs as evidenced by a positive change in the child's behavior and in the child's health following therapeutic riding. It is estimated that over 10 million children in the United States are
confronted by special health care needs annually. Over 8.8 million households have at
least one child with a special health care need. This equates to 13.9% of children ages
0-17 and 21.8% of households (Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative,
2010). Since time is limited in the identification and intervention process due to the potential developmental repercussions facing the child, health care objectives should support any method that could better serve the child. Animal-assisted interventions have proven successful for a variety of settings and populations. The human-animal bond, along with inherent characteristics of the animal, provides the foundation for understanding the potential of this therapeutic partnership. The mixed-method study incorporated a convenience sample of 27 children between the ages of 20 months and 15 years who were involved in therapeutic riding at
a center in North Texas during the spring of 2010. Post-therapy surveys were utilized
for collection of data. Quantitative data was extracted from the PedsQL Quality of life
Inventory Scale, the PedsQL Cognitive Functioning Scale, and the PedsQL Family Impact Module. Simple logistic regressions were conducted on the PedsQL subscale scores and
overall PedsQL scores in order to predict the perceived benefits. Qualitative data was
drawn from the Demographic Survey and the Therapeutic Riding Survey. Both quantitative and qualitative findings supported the effectiveness of equine therapy for Special Health Care Needs Children, regardless of age or developmental stage. Positive changes were seen in behavior, in health, and in improved quality of life factors for the child. Qualitative findings revealed that parents perceived that
therapeutic riding decreased anxiety in their children, enhanced mental focus, improved
motor skills, promoted communication, increased motivation, and increased self-confidence and self-worth. Findings also supported perceived benefits beyond behavior
change, including an increase in cognitive functioning, auditory processing, and
improvement in overall mental health.
Estimation of granulocyte and lymphocyte potassium in normal subjects and in patients treated with diuretics because of cardiovascular disease: a methodological study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A method is described for measuring the potassium content in leukocytes using Percoll (R) density gradient centrifugation. Ninety subjects between 21 and 92 years formed the reference population. The magnesium content in leukocytes could not be estimated because of interaction between the ion and the Percoll (R) media. Sex, age, leukocytosis because of infection, physical stress, venous stasis did not interfere with the analysis. The potassium content was calculated per cell and per g-1 of DNA. The granulocyte potassium content was (median (range)) 37.4 (25.8-75.0) fmol/cell-1 or 2.9 (1.5-9.8) mmol g-1 DNA. The lymphocyte potassium content was 45.9 (26.4-69.6) fmol cell-1 or 3.3 (1.5-5.0) mmol g-1 DNA. The coefficient of variation (less than 10%) was not reduced by using cell DNA instead of cell number as reference. The interindividual variation was high, making the test unfit for clinical use. The leukocyte potassium content was not decreased in patients with acute myocardial infarction nor in patients treated with diuretics and potassium supplements because of cardiovascular disease.
Robust Tracking Control for Rendezvous in Near-Circular Orbits

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper investigates a robust guaranteed cost tracking control problem for thrust-limited spacecraft rendezvous in near-circular orbits. Relative motion model is established based on the two-body problem with noncircularity of the target orbit described as a parameter uncertainty. A guaranteed cost tracking controller with input saturation is designed via a linear matrix inequality (LMI) method, and sufficient conditions for the existence of the robust tracking controller are derived, which is more concise and less conservative compared with the previous works. Numerical examples are provided for both time-invariant and time-variant reference signals to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme when applied to the terminal rendezvous and other astronautic missions with scheduled states signal.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC STRUCTURE AND INTER-INDUSTRY LINKAGES IN THE BALTIC COUNTRIES

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract. The article presents an analysis of the production and trade structure in three Baltic countries. Both exports and imports were emphasized, pointing out the importance of regional shifts and specialization patterns. The research was performed using the input–output model to determine the relative importance of respective production changes over time and the key differences among the Baltic countries. The paper also analyses the backward and forward inter-industry linkages of manufacturing and service industries. The results have indicated that during the period under analysis the share of sectors creating a lower value added has decreased, and a deeper economic integration was observed in the majority of industrial sectors of the Baltic countries with manifesting stronger forward linkages.Key words: inter-industry linkages, economic structure, the Baltic countries

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Results are presented from a new tangential angle method in curvature channel using a simple cellular model. The results of the routing scheme are compared with field measurements of cross-section, with the predictions of a more sophisticated to the real. It's indicate that the curvature flow routing scheme outlined here is able to overcome some of the limitations of previous simple cellular automata models and may be suitable for use in curvature reach of river modeling water and sediment transport and channel change in complex fluvial environments. As such this research represents a small and ongoing contribution to the field of numerical simulation of curvature channel processes.
Estrogen induces cytokeratin aggregation in primary cultures of Armenian hamster hepatocytes

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

The effect of estrogen administration to cultured Armenian hamster was studied. Isolated Armenian hamster hepatocytes were cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with β-estradiol (E2). β-estradiol treatment for 24–48 hr induced cytoplasmic inclusion bodies which by immunocytochemistry were positive for cytokeratin (CK) 8, CK 18, and ubiquitin but negative for CK 7 and CK 19. These inclusion bodies appeared as filamentous tangles or amorphous aggregates when observed by electron microscopy. F-actin, tubulin, and desmosomes were not influenced by the presence of the inclusion bodies. Addition of ethanol to culture medium increased the incidence of the inclusion formation. In combination with 0.5% ethanol 1 μM of E2 induced five to six times more inclusion bodies, while the number of inclusion bodies decreased when epidermal growth factor (EGF) was added to the medium in combination with E2. This reduction effect was nullified by treatment with anti-EGF receptor antibody. These findings suggest that E2 treatment to Armenian hamster hepatocytes in vitro induces Mallory body-like inclusions whose incidence can be influenced by addition of ethanol or EGF to the culture medium.

Are There Reasons to Believe That the Antihypertensive Effects of Serotonin (S2) Antagonists Are Age-Related?

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The potential age-dependent antihypertensive responses to serotonin antagonists are critically reviewed with regard to the following considerations: Are they beneficial to the patient? Are they related to age-dependent changes in pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics? Are they necessarily true? The paper is focused on ketanserin, which is the only major serotonin (S2) antagonist that has yet been used to any extent in patients. Based on the available data in the literature, we conclude that the age-related antihypertensive effect of ketanserin is a beneficial phenomenon since it does not seem to be paralleled by a corresponding increase in side effects. Furthermore, the mechanism seems to be due to changes in the pharmacodynamics of the drug on the platelet or vascular smooth muscle since there is only negligible alteration in pharmacokinetics occurring with advanced age. Although multiple independent trials or pooled data strongly indicate that the efficacy of ketanserin increases with age, not all investigators agree. In our opinion, the interindividual variation in drug response is more characteristic to the drug than the relationship to age. Therefore, the selection of patients for ketanserin therapy should be based on individual testing in addition to age grouping.
Atomistic-to-continuum modelling in solid mechanics

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

We focus primarily on the conceptually new class of materials that are only one atom thick, called by common name “graphene”. The experimental measurement of the mechanical properties of graphene is still considered a difficult task, thus quantifying the mechanical properties by the numerical simulations is of great importance.rnWe use molecular mechanics and assume that atoms are the smallest unit needed to be modelled. Due to the lack of computational power, performing a fully atomistic simulation of practical carbon nanosystems is not always possible. Thus, we seek to find more effective modelling strategy which considers the development of the substitute, continuum model of pristine graphene in the small and large strain regime. Next, we turn to concurrent multiscale methodology which limits atomic model to a small cluster of atoms near the defect in graphene lattice based on the overlapping domain decomposition scheme and coupling of discreet and continuum models. The latter enables to have efficient continuum model, preserving at the same time the accuracy of atomistic model.rnContributions : main mechanisms resulting in a large dispersion of elastic properties are identified, the novel elastic stiffness bounds in the equivalent continuum modeling of graphene are developed , novel hyperelastic constitutive model in terms of principal stretches for large elastic strain regime is developed, a unified coupling formulation of the atomistic-to-continuum coupling is proposed.
Histomorphological evaluation of the combined therapeutic potential of Carica papaya and Musa paradisiaca on indomethacin induced gastric injury

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: Medicinal plants are often used for the preparation of remedies for the treatment of several ailments especially in rural areas. Objective: The study investigated the combined effect of Carica papaya (pawpaw) and Musa paradisiaca (plantain) leaves extract on the stomach walls of albino rats against indomethacin induced gastric ulceration. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five (n-25) albino rats were weighed and divided randomly into five groups. Each group consisted of five (n-5) rats. Group A served as negative control and received rat feeds and water ad libitum. Group B received feeds and a single dose of indomethacin (25 mg/kg body weight) via orogastric administration and organs were harvested 4 hours after administration. Group C rats were administered with Carica papaya leaf extract (250 mg/kg body weight) daily for 14 days. Group D was administered with Musa paradisiaca leaf extract (250 mg/kg body weight) for 14 days. Group E received combined extract of Carica papaya (250 mg/kg body weight) and Musa paradisiaca (250 mg/kg body weight) daily for 14 days. All the animals were allowed access to feed and water. The animals in groups C-E fasted for 24 hours and were administered with a single dose of indomethacin (25 mg/kg body weight). Four hours later, the animals were sacrificed under chloroform inhalation, organs harvested, processed and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for histomorphological evaluation. Result: The result of the study shows that the single dose of indomethacin caused gastric ulceration within 4 hours. Musa paradisiaca leaf extract ameliorated the effect of indomethacin on the stomach. Combination of Carica papaya and Musa paradisiaca leaves extract exacerbated the effect of indomethacin on gastrointestinal tract ulcers. Conclusion: The practice of using combined extract of Carica papaya and Musa paradisiaca should be avoided in ulcer patients or individuals on indomethacin therapy
Amour and upahāra in the garbha-gṛḥa

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The chapter examines the representation of temples in the Kathāsaritsāgara, the voluminous work of Sanskrit kāvya or poetics. The text is a vīra (heroic) and śṛṅgāra (erotic) rasa (sentiment) dominated composition meant primarily for entertainment. Both had become important concerns of the courtly culture of the early medieval period. Upahāra or human sacrifice to the deity shifted from the actual to the symbolic in rituals related to construction of edifices like temples. Sanskrit texts do not reflect this practice until the 11th-century Kathāsaritsāgara which uses uphāra to denote any kind of offering to the deity – human head, body parts, or objects of worship. Clearly both love and sacrifice were integral aspects of devotion and worship at the temple. The chapter examines the location of temples and the terminology used for them, their connection to the monarchy, their structure and patronage, the deities worshipped, the rituals performed, and the usage of the temple space particularly for amorous rendezvous. The temple appears as deeply interwoven into the everyday personal lives of the individuals and cultural lives of communities in the text. The shrine's primary role as a place of worship is juxtaposed with its courtly connect.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a life prediction method based on the parameters of the actual operation history data collected by the existing converter power unit sensors. Firstly, the characteristics of junction temperature curves of forced air-cooled radiator and power unit are extracted, and the deep learning neural network architecture is constructed based on the characteristics. Then the thermoelectric coupling model of power unit based on thermal resistance calculation theory is established, and the cumulative loss is obtained from the measured data. The deep learning network is trained and the model prediction is verified. Finally, the power unit loss distribution under different setting temperature thresholds and the correlation analysis with radiator parameters are obtained, which provides a feasible scheme for parameter setting and life prediction.
Singular Perturbation Analysis of Boundary Value Problems for Differential-Difference Equations. V. Small Shifts with Layer Behavior

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, an investigation is initiated of boundary-value problems for singularly perturbed linear second-order differential-difference equations with small shifts, i.e., where the second-order derivative is multiplied by a small parameter and the shift depends on the small parameter. Similar boundary-value problems are associated with expected first-exit times of the membrane potential in models for neurons. In particular, this paper focuses on problems with solutions that exhibit layer behavior at one or both of the boundaries. The analyses of the layer equations using Laplace transforms lead to novel results. It is shown that the layer behavior can change its character and even be destroyed as the shifts increase but remain small. In the companion paper [SIAM J. Appi. Math., 54 (1994), pp. 273–283], similar boundary-value problems with solutions that exhibit rapid oscillations are studied.
