A Cooperative Clinical Trial of High-Dose Immunoglobulin Therapy in 177 Cases of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary A study was conducted with the cooperation of 31 university hospitals and 44 general hospitals in Japan on high-dose immunoglobulin therapy for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Sulfonated immunoglobulins were administered to 177 patients, comprising 102 children and 75 adults for two to seven days, and a favorable rise of platelet count was found in 114 (64.4%) of these patients. In particular, of the 107 patients who had not responded favorably to adrenocortico-steroids therapy, 63 cases showed a favorable rise of platelet count. And of the 14 patients who had not responded favorably to splenectomy, 6 cases showed a favorable rise of platelet count. In the majority of cases the platelet count fell to its pretreatment level within one month after the start of sequence of administration. Although a dosage of 400 mg/kg/day was suitable for most patients, the wide range of individual responses suggested the desirability of determining an optimal dose for each patients.

[Results of the Berlin HOT/UVB comparative study in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disorders].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Both photobiological methods haematogenic oxydation therapy (HOT) and therapy by retransfused ultraviolet irradiated own blood (UVB) were compared with regard to its therapeutic efficacy in patients with peripheral arterial occulusive disease of lower extremities in stage II by Fontaine. In parallel to paraclinical and coagulation data, haemodynamic as well as haemorheological parameters were investigated to clarify possible mechanisms of action of these therapies. 15 male patients were enclosed in the corresponding patients groups with a mean walking distance of 178 +/- 108 m (HOT) and 213 +/- 147 m (UVI), respectively. The claudicatio-distances were significantly improved after 10 series of therapy by 94% in the HOT-group and by 83% in the UVI-group, respectively. A significant difference in the improvement of walking distances could not be detected between both therapeutical methods. Significant alterations in observed paraclinical parameters were not observed.
Fully Digital Control of 27-Level Cascade Inverter with Variable DC Voltage Sources

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Cascade multilevel inverters have been widely applied for the applications of high voltage and high power systems. The input power sources for a cascade multilevel inverter requires separate dc voltage sources, available dc sources include batteries, photovoltaic arrays and fuel cells...etc. If variations or fluctuations occur at the input voltage, the harmonic distortion of the inverter output voltage will increase. The conducting angles of switches in the conventional cascade multilevel inverters are obtained by the use of Fourier series to minimize the harmonic distortion of output voltage. The traditional method is complex and difficult to implement on a single chip, especially when the input voltage sources can not remain constant and stable. A switching control algorithm is proposed for cascade multilevel inverter with variable dc voltage sources. The proposed control combines the output voltage feedback and the feedforward voltage method to achieve dynamic control and low distortion of the inverter output voltage. Analysis, simulations and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system.
An in vitro and in vivo study of single palatal processes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Single palatal processes were grown in organ culture to test whether epithelial contact was a prerequisite for the cytological alterations observed during midline epithelial disruption. Observations were made with the light and electron microscopes. Palatal processes from 14 day C57BL mice were cultured on Millipore filters and fixed in paraformaldehyde and osmium tetroxide. Fine structure studies of 24 hour cultures revealed a thick basal lamina beneath an intact epithelium. Epithelial cells were absent along the medial edge of the palatal process in 48 hour cultures. Mesenchymal cells, not covered by a basal lamina, ultimately occupied the original position of the epithelial cells. Single palatal processes taken from spontaneous cleft A/Jax fetuses showed epithelial cell death along the medial edge similar to that in vitro , although an epithelial‐free surface was not observed. We interpreted these observations to indicate that epithelial cell disruption was an inherent process of medial palatal epithelium. This disruption was exaggerated during organ culture by the mesenchymal cells spreading on the filter membrane.
Energetic and Informational Masking Effects in an Audiovisual Speech Recognition System

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The paper presents a robust audiovisual speech recognition technique called audiovisual speech fragment decoding. The technique addresses the challenge of recognizing speech in the presence of competing nonstationary noise sources. It employs two stages. First, an acoustic analysis decomposes the acoustic signal into a number of spectro-temporall fragments. Second, audiovisual speech models are used to select fragments belonging to the target speech source. The approach is evaluated on a small vocabulary simultaneous speech recognition task in conditions that promote two contrasting types of masking: energetic masking caused by the energy of the masker utterance swamping that of the target, and informational masking , caused by similarity between the target and masker making it difficult to selectively attend to the correct source. Results show that the system is able to use the visual cues to reduce the effects of both types of masking. Further, whereas recovery from energetic masking may require detailed visual information (i.e., sufficient to carry phonetic content), release from informational masking can be achieved using very crude visual representations that encode little more than the timing of mouth opening and closure.
Cloning of a tumor-associated antigen: MOv18 and MOv19 antibodies recognize a folate-binding protein.

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

Monoclonal antibodies MOv18 and MOv19, raised against a membrane preparation of an ovarian carcinoma surgical specimen, react with a surface antigen present on the majority of nonmucinous ovarian malignant tumors tested but not with normal adult tissue (S. Miotti, S. Canevari, S. Ménard, D. Mezzanzanica, G. Porro, S. M. Pupa, M. Regazzoni, E. Tagliabue, and M. I. Colnaghi, Int. J. Cancer, 39: 297-303, 1987). This surface antigen was purified as a soluble glycoprotein (molecular mass, 36-38 kDa) released from the cell surface of an ovarian carcinoma cell line (IGROV1) by digestion with Bacillus thuringiensis phospholipase C. Immunoblotting demonstrated that the purified protein reacted with MOv18 and MOv19 and that treatment of the purified preparation with N-glycanase resulted in a protein with a molecular mass of 27 kDa. The NH3-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified antigen was determined. This sequence is highly homologous to an internal stretch of 27 amino acids located near the NH3 terminus of human folate-binding protein. An oligonucleotide probe was synthesized and used to screen an IGROV1 ovarian carcinoma, lambda gt11 complementary DNA library to obtain three complementary DNA clones. The complete nucleotide sequence of one of these complementary DNA clones was determined. This sequence is nearly identical to that of a folate-binding protein clone obtained from the Caco-2 human carcinoma cell line. In addition, the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-untranslated region of the other two clones was determined. This region of all three clones was different. The product of the Caco-2 folate-binding protein clone expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells was recognized by the MOv18 and MOv19 antibodies, confirming that the antigen and folate-binding protein are one and the same. Furthermore, a cell line that binds the MOv18 and MOv19 antibodies expressed increased levels of folate-binding protein mRNA compared with a cell line that does not bind these antibodies. These results indicate that the MOv18 and MOv19 monoclonal antibodies bind to at least one form of folate-binding protein and that this protein, which is evidently overexpressed in certain malignant tumors, may provide a suitable target for immunotherapy with these antibodies.
Innovation Through Interaction for Bathroom Suppliers

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Companies often build an innovation strategy that is mostly reliant on internal knowledge and resources. This can lead to failure to meet customer needs (von Hippel 1986). By interacting with customers, companies can obtain crucial information and have the opportunity to involve customers in innovation and product development processes (Füller and Matzler 2007; Hadjikhani and Bengtson 2004; Laursen 2011; von Hippel 2009).

Role of EEG as Biomarker in the Early Detection and Classification of Dementia

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The early detection and classification of dementia are important clinical support tasks for medical practitioners in customizing patient treatment programs to better manage the development and progression of these diseases. Efforts are being made to diagnose these neurodegenerative disorders in the early stages. Indeed, early diagnosis helps patients to obtain the maximum treatment benefit before significant mental decline occurs. The use of electroencephalogram as a tool for the detection of changes in brain activities and clinical diagnosis is becoming increasingly popular for its capabilities in quantifying changes in brain degeneration in dementia. This paper reviews the role of electroencephalogram as a biomarker based on signal processing to detect dementia in early stages and classify its severity. The review starts with a discussion of dementia types and cognitive spectrum followed by the presentation of the effective preprocessing denoising to eliminate possible artifacts. It continues with a description of feature extraction by using linear and nonlinear techniques, and it ends with a brief explanation of vast variety of separation techniques to classify EEG signals. This paper also provides an idea from the most popular studies that may help in diagnosing dementia in early stages and classifying through electroencephalogram signal processing and analysis.
Emergence of Self-Reproducing Metabolisms as Recursive Algorithms in an Artificial Chemistry

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

One of the main goals of Artificial Life is to research the conditions for the emergence of life, not necessarily as it is, but as it could be. Artificial Chemistries are one of the most important tools for this purpose because they provide us with a basic framework to investigate under which conditions metabolisms capable of reproducing themselves, and ultimately, of evolving, can emerge. While there have been successful attempts at producing examples of emergent self-reproducing metabolisms, the set of rules involved remain too complex to shed much light on the underlying principles at work. In this paper, we hypothesize that the key property needed for self-reproducing metabolisms to emerge is the existence of an auto-catalyzed subset of Turing-complete reactions. We validate this hypothesis with a minimalistic Artificial Chemistry with conservation laws, which is based on a Turing-complete rewriting system called Combinatory Logic. Our experiments show that a single run of this chemistry, starting from a tabula rasa state, discovers -- with no external intervention -- a wide range of emergent structures including ones that self-reproduce in each cycle. All of these structures take the form of recursive algorithms that acquire basic constituents from the environment and decompose them in a process that is remarkably similar to biological metabolisms.
SH2772755.08FU

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

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Generating System Wellbeing Index Evaluation UsingGenetic Algorithm

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Reliability assessment of generation system is a crucial task used to be done using deterministic approaches. However, due to the practical limitations of these approaches, they have been gradually replaced by probabilistic techniques. Nevertheless, there is a considerable reluctance in many electric power utilities to completely abandon deterministic considerations. To fulfill the industry need, wellbeing analysis has been developed to combine the deterministic and the probabilistic approaches in a single framework. Analytical techniques or Monte Carlo Simulation have been used to evaluate wellbeing indices. However, analytical approaches are complicated and mathematically demanding and simulation technique requires a huge amount of computing time, and large memory size. This still prevents the utilities to benefit from the wellbeing framework. This paper presents a novel Genetic Algorithm (GA) based technique to calculate the wellbeing indices. Hopefully, this will encourage the industry to benefit from the wellbeing analysis. The features of the GA are utilized to collect and identify the health, marginal and at risk wellbeing states and to calculate the associated wellbeing indices. The proposed technique is applied to the IEEE-RBTS and the resulting wellbeing indices are compared to those obtained using a conventional analytical technique. The results show that the outcome of both techniques is virtually identical. The effect of the GA parameters on the wellbeing indices is examined. The proposed GA based technique in the manner applied in this study is simple, practical and valid to calculate the wellbeing indices.

The Carshalton Halo-Pelvic Traction Apparatus: A Preliminary Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The 'Hong Kong' halo-pelvic traction frame is widely used for correcting spinal deformation and as a holding apparatus for spinal operations. A study at Queen Mary's Hospital for Children, Carshalton, suggested that there were considerable possibilities for improvement. Firstly the supporting rods are cranked and do not apply the forces in a linear mode, whilst a reduction in the number of flexible joints would improve stability. Secondly, and more important, the accuracy of the measurement of forces applied is capable of considerable improvement and this would markedly reduce the possibility that undesirably large forces could be used. An improved frame has now been designed, manufactured and tested intensively. In this new design the supporting rods are straight whilst the forces applied are measured by means of potentiometric sensor in each rod, with read-out on a meter calibrated in kilograms. The frame has been fitted to one patient with satisfactory results.
Sistem Tertanam Berbasis PLC pada Simulator Pemberian Label dan Pemisahan Botol

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Utilization of photoelectric and fiberoptic sensors equipped with a number of actuators have been integrated into an embedded system based on a programmable logic controller (PLC). The labeling mechanism is based on the detection of the photoelectric sensor due to the photoelectric effect, while the bottle separation process is based on the detection of the fiberoptic sensor for two different colors. The objectives of this research includes three things, namely (i) produce a simulator controlled by a PLC system with assisted the help of sensors and actuators, (ii) create a ladder-based program structure, and (iii) measure the performance of the embedded system based on the performance of sensors and actuators. The research methods are conducted based on the research objectives through three stages, namely (i) the assembly of the conveyor frame, installation of the entire device, and integrated wiring; (ii) providing a 64-bit CX-Programmer, determining algorithms, compiling ladder, and compiling and uploading the entire program structure; and (iii) synchronization conditions and readings of on-board sensors for activation of all devices in the output line, and measurement of the processing time of stamping and bottle separation assisted by a pneumatic system. The results of the system performance during the labeling process for green and red bottles were fifteen times each, as was the case with the bottle separation process for green and red bottles, fifteen times each. The performance of the system is based on the success rate during the labeling process of 100%, while the success rate during the bottle separation process is 73.33%. The unsuccessful separation of bottles by 26.67% occurred in green bottles. The general conclusion is that a fabricated embedded system can be used as a simulator for a mechanical system of labeling and separating bottles based on bottle color.

[Case of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) associated with perforating appendicitis].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 4-year-old girl with perforating appendicitis developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Appendicitis in children of preschool age is highly likely to rupture, resulting in serious condition. Although we gave priority to systemic management in this ACS case since the child showed disturbed consciousness due to intracranial hypertension as well as hypercytokinemic encephalopathy. However, we should have performed abdominal decompression by laparotomy early. ACS causes progressive multiple organ failure through compromising the respiratory and circulatory systems and injuring multiple organs, leading to generalized inflammatory reactions. We should, therefore, manage ACS patients systemically sharing a notion that they must be treated early with abdominal decompression by laparotomy.
