Optimal therapeutic strategy for those with chronic kidney disease and peripheral artery disease receiving peripheral vascular intervention

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Narcisse and colleagues demonstrated that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) had a greater risk for all-cause mortality following peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) despite the high procedural success and low amputation rates.1 Several concerns have been raised. The authors stated that PVI did not effectively mitigate the risk of death.1 Data on causes of death would more clarify the causality among peripheral artery disease, PVI procedure, and death. The authors investigated the impact of CKD on clinical outcomes following the PVI procedure.1 Another statistical approach might be stratifying patients by a new cutoff of estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated by the receiver operating characteristic analysis. Finally, the authors stated that aggressive medical therapies with proven mortality benefit should likely be the focus in those with CKD.1 It might be interesting to perform a subanalysis only among the CKD group to further investigate significant therapeutic factors associating with postprocedural better clinical outcomes.

In Search of the Magic Lasso: The Truth About the Polygraph

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In the wake of controversy over allegations of espionage by Wen Ho Lee, a nuclear scientist at the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, the department ordered that polygraph tests be given to scientists working in similar positions. Soon thereafter, at the request of Congress, the department asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a thorough study of polygraph testing’s ability to distinguish accurately between lying and truth-telling across a variety of settings and examinees, even in the face of countermeasures that may be employed to defeat the test. This paper tells some of the story of the work of the Committee to Review the Scientific Evidence on the Polygraph, its report and the reception of that report by the U.S. government and Congress.
Prognosis classification of breast cancer with distant lymph node metastasis IIIc or M1 category

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: In the American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) staging manual, ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastases (ISLM) were defined as N3c, while contralateral supraclavicular and subclavian lymph node, contralateral internal mammary lymph node, contralateral axillary lymph node, and cervical lymph node as distant lymph nodes metastasis (DLM) were classified as M1, stage IV. Herein, we used the information recorded in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to compare patients' overall survival with DLM, ISLM, and distant organ metastasis. Methods: A total of 376 patients with ISLM, 562 patients with DLM, 5,069 patients with IIIc stage breast cancer, and 7,540 patients with distant organ metastasis from the SEER database (2004-2016) were included in the present study. R package was used to perform the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis among these four groups, and propensity score weighting (PSW) was used to minimize the differences in clinicopathological characteristics among groups Results: After PSW, the median survival of ISLM, DLM, IIIc stage, and distant organ metastasis was 42 months, 50 months, 55 months, and 31months, respectively. DLM achieved significantly better overall survival than distant organ metastasis (p<0.001, HR=0.646, 95%CI:0.561-0.737), while there was no significant difference in long-term survival between DLM and ISLM (p=0.467, HR=0.915, 95%CI:0.719-1.163) or DLM and IIIc stage (p=0.959, HR=0.995, 95%CI:0.837-1.183). Surgery (p<0.001, HR=0.502, 95%CI:0.375-0.674) and chemotherapy (p=0.007, HR=0.701, 95%CI:0.527-0.932) could significantly improve the OS for patients with DLM. When compared with chemotherapy alone, a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy could achieve better survival, with the increased median survival from 26 months to 82 months (p<0.001, HR=0.366, 95%CI:0.253-0.529). Conclusion: The prognosis of breast cancer patients with DLM was similar to ISLM and IIIc stage, but much better than that of patients with distant organ metastasis. Also, combined-modality therapy significantly improved long-term survival. Consequently, it seems more reasonable to classify DLM as IIIc category instead of M1.

Hydration Repulsion Difference between Ordered and Disordered Membranes Due to Cancellation of Membrane–Membrane and Water-Mediated Interactions

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Hydration repulsion acts between all sufficiently polar surfaces in water at small separations and prevents dry adhesion up to kilobar pressures. Yet it remained unclear whether this ubiquitous force depends on surface structure or is a sole water property. We demonstrate that previous deviations among different experimental measurements of hydration pressures in phospholipid bilayer stacks disappear when plotting data consistently as a function of repeat distance or membrane surface distance. The resulting pressure versus distance curves agree quantitatively with our atomistic simulation results and exhibit different decay lengths in the ordered gel and the disordered fluid states. This suggests that hydration forces are not caused by water ordering effects alone. Splitting the simulated total pressure into membrane–membrane and water-mediated parts shows that these contributions are opposite in sign and of similar magnitude, thus they are equally important. The resulting net hydration pressure between membranes is what remains from the near-cancellation of these ambivalent contributions.

Electron-Beam Welding of Titanium and Ti6Al4V Using Magnetron-Sputtered Nb, V, and Cu Fillers

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this work, the results of an investigation of electron-beam-welded samples of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V (Ti64) using fillers of various beta-stabilizing elements (Nb, V, Cu) are presented. The fillers were in the form of deposited layers on each of the two specimens via DC magnetron sputtering. The specimens were then subjected to electron-beam welding (EBW) under the same technological conditions. The structure of the obtained welded joints was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the phase composition of the fusion zone (FZ). The study of the mechanical properties of the samples was carried out via tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The results showed a different influence of the used fillers on the structure and properties of the obtained joints, and in all cases, the yield strength increased compared to the samples welded using the same technological conditions without the use of filler material. In the case of using Nb and V as a filler, the typical transformation of titanium welds into elongated αTi particles along with α’-Ti martensitic structures was observed. The addition of a Cu filler into the structure of the welds resulted in a unification and refining of the structure of the last, which resulted in the improvement of the mechanical properties of the weld, particularly its ductility, which is a known issue where electron-beam welding is concerned.

The Residue of the Western Missionary in the Southern Cameroons. The Christian Village: A Sad Tale of Strife and Dissension

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This book is the fascinating study of Christian enclaves in the Southern Cameroons of the colonial era. The Christian enclaves came into being with absolute spontaneity as a modus vivendi. Oblivious of the danger in store both colonial governments and traditional authorities provided the conditions in which these Christian villages took root and flourished. However what had taken root in the territory as a self-protection mechanism, soon unleashed its lethal, enticing tentacles luring both the wives of royals and commoners into their bosom. This disruptive influence of Christian villages threatened the survival of ethnic groups, arousing the rancour of traditional authorities and civil administrators. In many ways the Christian enclaves inhibited the potential of colonial governments to administer the territory. These states within a state propagated by the missionary in the most insidious and perfidious of all manners sowed within their own bosom the seed of self-destruction. The whole issue of runaway wives of royals and commoners alike who took refuge in the Christian villages troubled both the colonial and traditional authorities. By offering a safe haven to these runaway wives and welcoming women who were outside the traditional male authority in a tribal setup, the missionaries began sowing within the Christian communities the seeds of their own self destruction. Records of wives of Fons and commoners escaping into these enclaves, eloping with a man and returning pregnant remained the regular subject of several colonial intelligence reports. Highhanded methods by missionaries in these villages brought both the missionaries and their work into disrepute. In less than a quarter of a century these enclaves had lost the war of attrition waged by colonial and traditional authorities. Worn out by endless strife and dissension within and without and forced by contingency, what had been conceived to be ideal Christian communities with snowballing effects, saw its premature demise.
Effects of Puberty and Parenting on Adolescent Psychosocial Maturity and Risky Behavior

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This doctoral dissertation examines how pubertal onset and maternal sensitivity and responsiveness (MSR) affect psychosocial maturity (PSM) and risky behavior in late adolescence for male and female youth. Analyses were conducted on a subsample (N = 730) of Black, Hispanic, and White youth from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (NICHD SECCYD), an 18-year study of the implications of early child care experiences and youth development. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), this dissertation addresses several research questions: 1. Does MSR predict adolescent PSM and risk-taking?; 2. Does pubertal onset predict PSM and risk-taking?; 3. Does pubertal timing moderate the effects of MSR on PSM and risky behavior?; 4. Are the pathways linking MSR, puberty, PSM and risk-taking moderated by adolescent sex? For all youth, results are consistent with the notion that higher early adolescent MSR and increases across adolescence predicts higher PSM and lower sexual risk-taking, but not non-sexual risk-taking. Consistent with past literature, early pubertal onset was associated with higher non-sexual and sexual risk-taking, but not PSM. However, the present data show PSM is associated with lower sexual and non-sexual risk-taking. Results from a two-group SEM provide evidence in support of sex moderation. Specifically, higher grade 5 MSR predicted lower non-sexual risk-taking among girls, but not boys. Additionally, higher grade 5 MSR predicted lower non-sexual risk-taking among female, but not male youth. Pubertal onset was not predictive of PSM, but was predictive of non-sexual risk-taking in boys and sexual risk-taking in girls. Male youth but not female youth were differentially susceptible to MSR across pubertal onset. Specifically, males with later pubertal onset had the lowest PSM with low MSR and the highest PSM with high MSR. However, males with earlier pubertal onset were less sensitive to the effects of MSR. Taken together, these data suggest that the nuanced pathways linking pubertal onset and maternal sensitivity and responsiveness to adolescent psychosocial maturity and risky behavior are moderated by adolescent sex. Nevertheless, psychosocial maturity remains important in protecting against risky behavior across male and female youth.
A 90-dB DR Discrete-Time Delta-Sigma Modulator for Audio Applications

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This work presents a second-order discrete-time (DT) delta-sigma modulator (DSM) for audio applications. Adding multiple feedforward paths in the cascade of integrators with feedback (FF-CIFB) topology can significantly reduce the integrator output swing. Thus, the proposed DSM architecture can effectively mitigate the dc gain of operational transconductance amplifiers used in the integrator. The prototype DT-DSM is fabricated in 180-nm CMOS technology and occupies an active area of 0.54 mm 2 . At 3.2-MS/s, this prototype ADC consumes $851 \mu \mathrm{W}$ from a 1.8-V supply. With an oversampling ratio of 64, the signal bandwidth is 25 kHz. Measured SNDR and SFDR are 89.3 dB and 102.5 dB, respectively. The measured dynamic range is 90 dB. The equivalent Schreier figure of merit (FOMs) is 163.9 dB.
Occupational asthma due to methyl methacrylate and cyanoacrylates.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Five patients had asthma provoked by cyanoacrylates and one by methyl methacrylate, possibly because of the development of a specific hypersensitivity response. Acrylates have wide domestic as well as industrial uses, and inhalation of vapour emitted during their use can cause asthma.
Rome's marble yards

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

By the death of Augustus, imperial building projects in Rome were being supplied by marble from Africa (Chemtou), Asia (Docimium), Egypt (various alabaster sources), Aegean Greece (Chios, Euboea, and Paros), Attica (Pentelikon), and from Luna (Carrara) in N Italy. A vast network of quarries in Egypt's Eastern Desert was already under development, and their granites and porphyry began to be seen at Rome in the middle of the Julio-Claudian era. By the Antonines, marble from Scyros, Thasos, Proconnesos, and Iasos was also arriving in Rome. Quantities in this period reached several thousand blocks per year. Relative to demand, was this a lot or a little? The Roman marble trade has always attracted attention because of the facilities and the organizational feats that brought so much exotic stone to the capital and thence outward, but the real importance of the answer lies in the use of marble. Whether marble was easy or hard to come by and what distinguished the grades and colors — even whether all grades and colors were available to customers up and down the social ladder — are prerequisite questions for understanding the choices open to imperial and private architects, to sculptors with great or humble commissions, and even to wall-painters with faux architecture to apply to a wall.
Conversion efficiency of catalytic converter

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Around 50 million vehicles are manufactured every year and over 700 million vehicles are used worldwide. Vehicle population is predictable to grow close to 1300 million by the year 2030. Automobile produced 10,037,168 short tons of nitrogen oxides and 59,383,083 short tons of carbon dioxide in 2008 alone. In the present scenario, air pollution generation from the mobile sources is a big problem in the world. The maximum quantity of air pollution is due to the emissions from Internal Combustion Engines. Combustion of pollutants released from the vehicular exhaust is one of the best approaches to decrease their attentiveness before their release to the atmosphere. The main attention of the work is the research of catalytic converter working effectiveness in used passenger cars. In this work the fuel which is used is commercial gasoline with blends and the testing is done in the passenger car. The testing is done in three ways: (1) with a new CatCoN [1000 km], (2) with an old CatCoN [55,000 km] and (3) without a CatCoN. After comparing the test results, it is concluded that the conversion efficiency of the catalytic converter decreases when the vehicle runs above 45,000 km. The best result of the exhaust gases is shown with a new catalytic converter.
IRDO: Iris Recognition by Fusion of DTCWT and OLBP

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Iris Biometric is a physiological trait of human beings. In this paper, we propose Iris an Recognition using Fusion of Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) and Over Lapping Local Binary Pattern (OLBP) Features. An eye is preprocessed to extract the iris part and obtain the Region of Interest (ROI) area from an iris. The complex wavelet features are extracted for region from the Iris DTCWT. OLBP is further applied on ROI to generate features of magnitude coefficients. The resultant features are generated by fusing DTCWT and OLBP using arithmetic addition. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to compare test iris with database iris features to identify a person. It is observed that the values of Total Success Rate (TSR) and Equal Error Rate (EER) are better in the case of proposed IRDO compared to the state-of-the art techniques
Preventing falls in older adults: Can improving cognitive capacity help?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Evidence linking physical health with beneficial cognitive outcomes is well established. However, the potential bi-directional nature of this relationship is far less explored. Falls-related injuries are frequently caused by age-related deterioration of walking gait, and cost the NHS in Britain ~£1 billion per annum. Interventions capable of reducing falls risk are significantly beneficial from both health and economical perspectives. In recent years, evidence has emerged suggesting that the cognitive capacity required for executive function and motor stabilisation share a fundamentally limited pool of neural resources. In tandem, research suggesting that computer-based cognitive training can—via neuro-plastic mechanisms—stimulate executive function enhancements. Subsequently, this suggests the possibility that cognitive training can positively impact motor control functions, such as walking gait. Thereby raising the potential that movement coordination may be enhanced through cognitive training interventions. This novel perspective is just beginning to be explored within the literature, and some intriguing evidence already exists. Accordingly, the objective of this discussion is to review the rationale and evidence underpinning the suggested linkage between cognitive resources and walking gait and to suggest how such interventions could provide novel, impactful and financially efficient practical applications for reducing the fall risk in older adults.
