¤EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ¤ Effect of Stent-Graft Compliance on Endotension After EVAR

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: To investigate whether, and to which extent, the type of graft has influence on the pressure in the aneurysm sac. Methods: The study consisted of a dynamic and a static experiment. In the dynamic experiment, a latex aneurysm was inserted into an in-vitro circulation model, with variable (80–180 mmHg) systemic systolic pressure and a pulse pressure of 40 mmHg. Seven types of devices were used to exclude the aneurysm: a latex reference graft, 3 stentless grafts made of different fabrics, and 3 different types of commercially produced stented grafts used for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The systolic and diastolic intra-aneurysm pressures (IAP) were measured, along with the pulse pressure. The mean IAP and pulse pressures were compared for each category of graft (stented/stentless) and for each graft. In the static experiments, the compliance of each graft and the latex aneurysm were determined by measuring the change in volume necessary to obtain a change in pressure. Furthermore, the IAP with each graft was measured in a nonpulsatile situation under systolic pressures varying between 60 and 140 mmHg. Results: The experiments showed that, with increasing systemic pressures, there was a small pressure (,5 mmHg) increase in the aneurysm, but there was no significant difference among grafts in the dynamic or the static experiments (p50.12 and p50.17, respectively). With the 3 stented EVAR grafts, there was less pressure transmission than with the 3 stentless grafts, but this difference was not significant (p.0.05). Conclusion: This in-vitro study demonstrated that there is a clinically irrelevant pressure transmission through the graft wall and no significant difference in the pressure transmission between stented and stentless grafts.

Practice Guidelines for Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) in Germany

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract

Purpose The practice guideline for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) aims to encourage broader adoption of OPAT into routine clinical practice in Germany. Methods The guideline was developed according to the guideline development framework by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF) in Germany. Literature search was conducted, and expert recommendations were formulated through consensus and published as an AWMF S1 guideline (expert group recommendations with consensus development in an informal process). Results OPAT is a safe and effective alternative to inpatient care for managing selected infectious diseases (ID) entities, which require intravenous antimicrobial therapy (AMT). ID specialists play a critical role in determining the indications for OPAT, the selection of suitable patients and the development of treatment plans. Specialist-led OPAT programs have been shown to enhance treatment efficacy, reduce hospital readmissions, and decrease healthcare costs. A structured, checklist-based approach is used to evaluate infection severity, available therapeutic options, patient comorbidities, and home care conditions. Adherence to antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) principles as well as regular clinical and laboratory monitoring are essential to ensure appropriate antimicrobial use and minimize adverse events, catheter-related complications and the risk of resistance. The selection of adequate vascular access is based on patient-specific factors, characteristics of the indicated antimicrobial and treatment duration, optimizing both safety and patient comfort. Conclusion OPAT is a safe, cost-effective alternative to inpatient care, requiring specialists’ ID expertise and AMS. The guideline provides a framework for successful implementation in Germany.
Sulla and Electoral Authoritarianism

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract: This article explores L. Cornelius Sulla’s control of elections during his dictatorship from 82 to 80 b.c. and analyzes the immediate impact of this control on elections in Rome in the early 70s. Drawing on approaches employed by political science to help understand the intent behind holding uncompetitive “authoritarian elections,” it offers a novel approach to the study of ancient elections. It then explores elections in the immediate aftermath of his dictatorship, tentatively arguing that the desired long-term effect was to suppress and provide structures to control electoral competition even after his dictatorship. Abstract: Cet article explore le contrôle exercé par L. Cornelius Sylla sur les élections lors de sa dictature (82–80 av. j.-c.) et analyse l’impact immédiat de ce contrôle sur les élections à Rome au début des années 70. En s’inspirant d’approches employées en sciences politiques pour identifier les raisons qui sous-tendent la tenue d’« élections autoritaires » non compétitives, il propose une nouvelle façon d’étudier les élections antiques. Par la suite, il explore les élections tenues immédiatement après la fin de la dictature de Sylla, et suggère que l’objectif à long terme était de créer des structures capables de contrôler la compétition électorale même après la fin de sa dictature.

Intersectionality incarnate: A case study of civil society, social capital, and its metamorphosis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper investigates civil society’s metamorphosis through the lens of intersectional risk theory. While numerous studies interrogate civil society’s spatiotemporal evolution, there has yet to be an analysis of how and why the Intersectional Activist has gained such prominence. The interdisciplinary nexus between intersectionality, social capital, and civil society to that of the risk discipline requires a multi-tiered methodology to map the contours of this metamorphosis. Therefore, the choice of a hermeneutically-framed, exploratory case study, supplemented by semi-structured interviews, structures the research. The results support that the Intersectional Activist is a byproduct of capitalistic, multiply-burdening institutions of oppression. However, these overlapping institutions form a pressurized moulding onto the individuals’ tabula rasa, whereby a transversal, paradigm-defiant coalition insurrects against hegemonic systems. Reactivating the five capacities of the self, knowledge, processes, agency, and power to bridge cross-sectorial mobilization, the Intersectional Activist is a direct riposte to the Precarious Risk Society. The collective has now become the connective–manifesting in the intersectional plight against systemic injustice, the Matrix of Power reactivates the capacities through an association of difference, reconstituting the nature of social capital. Within this reconstitution, the transversal activist realizes themselves in a new connective frontier, for they are intersectionality incarnate.
A Classification Methodology Based on Subspace Graphs Learning

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we propose a design methodology for one-class classifiers using an ensemble-of-classifiers approach. The objective is to select the best structures created during the training phase using an ensemble of spanning trees. It takes the best classifier, partitioning the area near a pattern into $γ^{γ-2}$ sub-spaces and combining all possible spanning trees that can be created starting from $γ$ nodes. The proposed method leverages on a supervised classification methodology and the concept of minimum distance. We evaluate our approach on well-known benchmark datasets and results obtained demonstrate that it achieves comparable and, in many cases, state-of-the-art results. Moreover, it obtains good performance even with unbalanced datasets.

Development of the Canadian Digit Triplet Test in English and French

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The Canadian Digit Triplet Test was developed in English and French, the official languages of Canada. Four versions were developed on a common software platform using recordings produced by two fluent bilinguals, one male and one female, following procedures recommended by international guidelines. Phase I of test development focused on homogenizing digit recognition across tokens and positions within the triplets for young adults with normal hearing (n = 48). In phase II, normative data were collected for young adults with normal hearing (n = 64). Statistical properties were found to be uniform across test versions and comparable to digit triplet tests in other languages.
Inter-changeability Between Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Scheimpflug Imaging in the Evaluation of Corneal Opacity

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose To compare the results of corneal evaluation, either the total corneal thickness and corneal opacity depth by both technologies AS- OCT and Scheimpflug imaging by Sirius Scheimpflug placido topography. Methods sixty-eight eyes of sixty- eight consecutive patients with corneal opacities were examined by both AS-OCT and Sirius Scheimpflug imaging. Corneal thickness and corneal opacity depth were measured and compared determining the interchangeability using Bland–Altman plotting. Results Total corneal thickness was (470.32±62.10) and (463.47±56.47) by AS. OCT and Sirius Scheimpflug imaging, respectively (P value = 0.8). While the actual measurement of corneal opacity, corneal opacity depth was (135.39±119) and (85.45±128) by AS-OCT and Siris Scheimpflug imaging respectively with P value (0.004). Conclusion AS-OCT and Scheimpflug imaging Sirius may be used interchangeably for measuring both total corneal thickness, while in the determination of corneal opacity depth. the AS-OCT is superior to Scheimpflug imaging in the accuracy of determination of actual boundaries of the corneal opacity.
Is There Value in Venous Thromboembolism Chemoprophylaxis After Pediatric Scoliosis Surgery? A 28-Year Single Center Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: With a recognized increase in the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in children, especially in those with complex, chronic conditions, it is important for patient safety and risk management to identify subgroups that would benefit from prophylactic treatment. The aim of our study was to assess whether scoliosis surgery in children was associated with an increased incidence of VTE, including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, and if chemoprophylaxis is warranted. Methods: We reviewed our institution’s Pediatric Orthopaedic Spine Database (1992-2019) to identify patients who had a symptomatic VTE postoperatively. Results: There were 1471 patients (1035 female, 436 male) with a mean age at surgery of 12.1±3.2 years (range, 1 to 18 y) underwent posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation (2131 procedures). No patients were given pharmacological VTE prophylaxis, and no routine screening for VTE was performed. Two patients had a lower extremity DVT (0.13%) within 6 months following surgery, (range, 55 to 161 d). Neither patient had a subsequent pulmonary embolism. They were 9 and 17 years of age with a diagnosis of neuromuscular scoliosis (1 each postpolio and myelodysplasia). One affected patient had a central venous line inserted perioperatively, a known risk factor for thromboembolism. All DVTs were treated with appropriately dosed anticoagulants. None had a family history of hypercoagulation. Conclusions: The risk of symptomatic VTE is extraordinarily low after pediatric spinal deformity surgery. Mechanical prophylaxis is sufficient in most cases. Further multi-center studies may help identify patient specific risk factors.
The effects of starvation and refeeding on the musculature of the marine teleost Pollachius virens L

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Chapter 1. A brief introduction is given reviewing the physiology and biochemistry of fish myotomal muscle. Aspects of protein turnover and metabolism in muscle are discussed and related with previous studies on starvation and refeeding in both mammals and fish. Chapter 2. The marine teleost Pollachius virens L. undergoes a natural starvation during the winter months, and provides a reversible, non-pathological model for studying muscle wasting. In this study fish were kept without food under laboratory conditions for up to 12 weeks. The effects of starvation on muscle fibre cross-sectional area, volume fractions of mitochondria and myofibrils, and capillary supply were determined. Mechanisms of myofibrillar degradation during muscle wasting are discussed. Chapter 3. Starvation in the winter months is followed by a period of refeeding in the late spring, and the musculature degraded during the winter is regenerated. In the present study muscle fine structure has been investigated for fish kept without food, under laboratory conditions, for 74 days, and following 10, 20, and 54 days' refeeding. Muscle fibre cross-sectional area, capillary supply, and volume fractions of myofibrils, nuclei and mitochondria were determined from electron micrographs, using digital planimetry and stereological techniques. In contrast to the starvation atrophy observed in chapter 2 the 74 day starvation reported in this chapter resulted in a decrease in the mean fibre cross-sectional area in both fast and slow muscle. Chapter 4. Experiments were performed using SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, to consider the effects of starvation on the relative abundance of actin and myosin heavy chains. Both slow and fast muscle proteins were analysed from control and 66 day starved fish, using densitometric scans of comassie blue stained polyacrylamide gels. The results were expressed as the ratio of each protein relative to actin. Chapter 5. A wide range of biochemical parameters were determined to consider the metabolic effects of starvation and refeeding in saithe. Chapter 6. This chapter investigates the involvement of acid hydrolases and the lysosomal system in muscle atrophy and regeneration, during starvation and refeeding. The results suggest a role for lysosomal enzymes in the breakdown of myofibrillar proteins during starvation. Chapter 7. The results are discussed with reference to the overall strategy of fish to survive starvation immediately followed by a period of rapid muscle repair and growth, during refeeding. The mechanisms Involved in the disassembly and degradation of the myofibrillar proteins are discussed with specific reference to the involvment of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, t-tubules and proteinases. Suggestions are made for further work that may give an insight into some of the questions generated by this research.
Pedagogy in Nordic teacher education

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter investigates the marked differences between contemporary approaches to pedagogy in pre-service teacher education programmes in Denmark and Finland, and argues comparatively and historically for divergent paths in the field of pedagogy. What may be defined as 'national educational schisms' emerged during the nineteenth century between folk-oriented and academic-oriented educational thinkers and practitioners. Teacher education institutions in the early phase (1860–1970) were heavily influenced by the relative strengths of these schisms. This was evident in Denmark where the strong peasant society built its own 'folk' institutions. Conversely, in the Finnish case, the power of the urban academic elites in defining the national movement promoted the start of academisation of primary school teachers already at the end of the nineteenth century. These differing biases resulted in divergent institutionalisations in the 1970s. During the subsequent 50 years, Danish pedagogy has developed a dogmatic hermeneutical approach to pedagogical knowledge in contrast to the Finnish cumulative positivist one. These approaches are evident in the comparative data on current approaches to pedagogy and research-based knowledge.
[Contribution of transesophageal and transthoracic echography in the evaluation of the mechanism and quantification of regurgitation in mitral and aortic bioprosthetic valves].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The respective values of transoesophageal (TOE) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the evaluation of the mechanism and the quantification of pathological regurgitation of bioprosthetic heart valves were analysed in 23 patients (14 mitral, 9 aortic; duration of implantation 108 +/- 43.2 months). Surgical or pathological correlations were available in all cases and catheter data in 18 of the 23 patients. With regards to mitral bioprostheses, the TOE evaluations of the mechanism and site of regurgitation corresponded in all cases with the operative or pathological findings and quantification of mitral regurgitation concorded with angiography. There was an underestimation of the severity of mitral regurgitation in 30% of cases by TTE compared with angiography; prolapse was diagnosed in 7 of the 10 cases with cusp tears. It was not possible to accurately determine the intra or perivalvular site of regurgitation by TEE. With regards to aortic bioprostheses, TOE and TTE were equally useful in determining the mechanism of regurgitation, showing cusp prolapse in 6 of the 9 cases with cusp tears. However, TTE quantified regurgitation accurately in all cases with respect to angiography, whereas TOE was only contributive in 50% of cases. These results show that single plane TOE is superior to TTE in the quantification and determination of the mechanism of regurgitation in mitral bioprostheses, but that TTE remains better for the quantification of regurgitation of aortic bioprostheses.
