Effect of a family heart health program on stage of change constructs of exercise and leisure time exercise in family members of patients with heart disease

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a family heart health program on stage of change constructs for exercise behaviour and self-reported leisure time exercise in family members of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). One hundred and thirty eight participants were recruited by mailing an invitation to family members of patients with CHD enrolled in a cardiac rehabilitation program. Siblings, offspring and spouses of patients were eligible to participate if they did not have existing CHD or disease equivalent (diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and/or cerebro-vascular disease). Participants completed an individualized coronary risk factor assessment followed by an hour-long stage-matched counseling session with a health educator. Outcomes measures included stage of change constructs for exercise behaviour (readiness to change, decisional balance, processes of change and self-efficacy) as well as self-reported leisure time exercise. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, immediately after the counseling session, and three months later. Complete follow up data was obtained for 73 participants. Data were found to be missing completely at random and complete case analysis was used. Compared to baseline, the proportion of participants in the combined action/maintenance stage increased from 50.7% to 78.1.% at three month follow-up (p = 0.02). Decisional balance was higher at three-month follow-up than at baseline (-1.43 vs. -2.52; p < .0001), and higher at three-month follow-up than at post-intervention (-1.43 vs. -2.43; p < .0001). There was a significant difference in the scores for total processes of change at three-month follow-up (M =3.39, SD =0.59) compared to baseline (M = 3.21, SD =0.62); t (72) = -2.73, p = .008. Participants were using more processes of change at follow-up, including both cognitive and behavioural processes. There were no significant changes in mean self-efficacy between the three time points. There was a significant increase in reported exercise minutes per week at three-month follow-up (M = 268.9 minutes, SD = 262.3) compared to baseline (M = 178.8 minutes, SD = 153.8); t (73) = -2.12, p = .040. Participation in a family heart health program was associated with favourable changes in readiness to change exercise behaviour, decisional balance, use of processes of change, and self-reported leisure time exercise over a three-month follow-up period. The results of the study should be interpreted with caution given limitations with the study design and the self-reported nature of the interventions. Nonetheless, this study has set the stage for a larger, definitive trial of an enhanced family heart health intervention. This trial is now underway at the UOHI.

Functional analysis of Pitchfork and G-protein coupled associated sorting protein 2 in the mouse

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

Pitchfork (Pifo) was previously identified as a novel cilia disassembly protein regulating AuroraA kinase and participating in cilia signaling in order to control the cell cycle (Kinzel et al. 2010). In this study, we showed that Pifo and its interacting protein, Gprasp2 are essential components of an Hh induced ciliary targeting complex able to regulate Smo translocation to the primary cilium (Jung et al. 2014, in revision). In functional analysis we could for the first time link primary cilium dependent signaling to pancreatic beta cell-cycle control. Moreover, it is likely that misregulation of Pifo and Grpasp2 is associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
PREVALENCE AND SEVERITY OF HAMSTRING TIGHTNESS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENT: A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Flexibility is important for normal biomechanical function. Muscle tightness is caused by a decrease in the ability of the muscle to deform. Hamstring tightness leads to high risk of recurrent injury, decreases the performance in athletes, lead to post-exercise soreness and decreases coordination among athletes. Hence, the objectives of this study was to find out the prevalence and severity of the hamstring tightness among college going student. Method: In this cross sectional study 50 participants with hamstring tightness were included using purposive sampling. The tightness was measured by AKE test. Three measurement were taken and average of their reading was noted. Result: Analysis showed higher prevalence of hamstring tightness among college students. More students were affected with AKE angle between 30o-45o. Conclusion: Prevalence of hamstring tightness is very high in college going student of age group 18-25 years.
Keywords: Prevalence; Active knee extension test; Hamstring Tightness severity.
Comparative biochemistry of hepatomas. VI. Thymidine incorporation into DNA as a measure of hepatoma growth rate.

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

Summary The DNA content and the incorporation of thymidine-2- 14 C were determined in different lines of transplantable hepatomas exhibiting slow, medium, or rapid growth rate. The values were compared with livers of normal controls of the same weight, sex, and strain. The DNA metabolism of host liver was also examined, and regenerating liver served as a further standard of comparison. The DNA levels were in the same range in the livers of control, partially hepatectomized rats and in host livers. The DNA level was in the normal range in the slow growing hepatomas (7800, 5123-D); it was increased to 177% in the more rapidly growing hepatoma 7288-C; and it was markedly increased to 250 and 211%, respectively, in the 2 most rapidly growing tumors (3924-A, 3683). Incorporation of thymidine-2- 14 C into DNA was low in normal livers. There was no consistent pattern in host livers, but incorporation was markedly increased in the regenerating livers and in all hepatomas. The incorporation of thymidine into DNA was markedly elevated even in the slow growing tumors (7800, 839%; 5123-D, 1596%). It was further increased in the more rapidly growing 7288-C (2131%), and it was the highest in the most rapidly growing tumors (3924-A, 6403%; 3683, 3378%). Thus, DNA production (thymidine incorporation into DNA) and growth rate (as estimated by generation time) show a good correlation. Thymidine incorporation into DNA might be used as a measure of growth rate in hepatomas.
A Close Binary Nucleus in the Most Oxygen‐Poor Planetary Nebula PN G135.9+55.9

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We report FUSE and new deep optical spectroscopic observations of PN G 135.9+55.9, the most oxygen-poor planetary nebula located in the Galactic halo. These observations allow us to estimate the gravity of the central star by fitting the profile of the observed H I absorption lines with NLTE model atmospheres. Our best fit implies that the central star is still in a pre-white dwarf stage. We also find large variability of the radial velocities of the absorption component of the Balmer lines on a timescale of hours. This is direct evidence that the nucleus of PN G 135.9+55.9 is a close binary. The large semi-amplitude of the radial velocity variations and the probably short period suggest a massive compact companion, likely a white dwarf. Although our orbital solutions are very preliminary, they indicate that the total mass of the system probably exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit. If confirmed, this would make this binary the potential progenitor of a type Ia supernova.
Identification of a novelSERPINA-1mutation causing alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in a patient with severe dyspnea

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (DAAT) is an autosomal codominant disorder that predisposes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and liver disease.A plasma concentration below 50mg/dL is considered to represent a relevant deficiency.It is caused by inheritance of 2 severe deficiency alleles of the SERPINA-1 gene located on chr14.We report the identification of a novel SERPINA-1 mutation in a patient with severe dyspnea.A 43 year-old woman from Argentina (Cordoba city) consulted in 2012 for a 2-year-progressive dyspnea.The thorax XR film and other studies showed air-trapping with a FEV1:49% and CAT:23.She has a history of 26 packs/year and has been chronically exposed to second hand smoking due to her job.She had no liver damage.Capillary zone electrophoresis showed a decrease of alpha1globulin band.AAT levels measured by nephelometry were 28 mg/dL (RV:83-199 mg/dL).AAT phenotype testing by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis revealed a MZ pattern.A targeted allele-specific AAT genotyping to the S and Z alleles was performed revealing that the patient was heterozygous for the Z allele.As the patient9s AAT concentration was lower than it would be expected for an individual with a MZ phenotype, we suspected that the patient had a rare allele.We found Glu342GAG→LysAAG (Z allele heterozygous) in exon 5 the sequencing analysis but we also found a non-reported Leu30CTG→ArgCGG in one of the alleles in exon 2.To our knowledge, this mutation has not been previously reported.Her father and siblings were studied and showed neither AAT deficiency nor lung affection (only AAT dosage performed).The patient was finally diagnosed with COPD associated with AAT deficiency.
Changes in C-reactive protein in response to anti-inflammatory therapy as a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Despite the availability of aggressive lipid-lowering strategies, many patients remain at risk of cardiovascular events. C-reactive protein is a marker of inflammation elevated in patients at high risk of cardiovascular events. C-reactive protein has demonstrated value as a predictor of cardiovascular risk; however, it is unclear whether targeting C-reactive protein levels improves outcomes. This systematic review aimed to characterise the relationship between C-reactive protein and cardiovascular outcomes and to assess whether the magnitude of C-reactive protein reduction correlates to the extent of cardiovascular risk reduction. Methods A systematic review was conducted to identify randomised controlled trials that measured C-reactive protein before and after administration of therapies for cardiovascular disease and measured incidence of cardiovascular events. A meta-analysis of placebo-controlled studies assessed the relationship between extent of C-reactive protein reduction and cardiovascular risk reduction. Placebo-controlled studies where low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride data were available were also included in a meta-regression to assess the influence of these established risk factors on the efficacy of treatment when compared to C-reactive protein. Results Fifteen studies met the criteria for inclusion in this review, of which six were active comparator studies and nine were placebo controlled. Six placebo-controlled studies had data available for meta-regression. Eight studies demonstrated a reduction in events that could be explained by changes in lipid levels, whereas the results of five studies suggested that the association between C-reactive protein reduction and event rates cannot be explained by changes in lipid levels alone. No correlation was found between magnitude of C-reactive protein reduction and cardiovascular risk reduction. A strong correlation was found between C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein reduction (adjusted r 2 = 0.8). Conclusions Targeting C-reactive protein does not offer additional benefit over targeting low-density lipoprotein across the general population in terms of cardiovascular risk reduction. However, there is value in targeting C-reactive protein in patients at high residual inflammatory risk despite non-elevated lipid levels or use of lipid-lowering therapy.
Feed value of enzyme supplemented cassava leaf meal and shrimp meal in pigs

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Ten crossbred male pigs of 49.3±3.97 kg body weight were used to evaluate the digestibility, energy value and N (nitrogen) retention of two unconventional protein sources, i.e. cassava leaf meal (CLM) and shrimp meal (SM), with or without the addition of a nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) enzyme complex (β-glucanase and xylanase). During two trial periods, each lasting 7 days, two pigs each were fed the following five experimental diets: Basal diet (BD), BD+cassava leaf meal with (CLM+E) and without enzyme addition (CLM) and BD+shrimp meal with (SM+E) and without enzyme (SM) supplementation. Total tract digestibility of Dry matter (DM) was general depressed in pigs fed diets containing the alternate protein sources. Crude protein (CP) and Gross energy (GE) digestibility were depressed in pigs fed cassava leaf meal (CLM) diet. Enzyme supplementation did not improve the digestibility of the energy and other proximate constituents. Faecal N output increased in pigs fed the alternate protein sources while Urine N and N retention were not affected (P>0.05) by the use of the alternate protein sources in the diets of pigs. There was reduced (P<0.05) conversion to ME in pigs fed diets containing the alternate protein sources. The ratio of DE/GE was lower in pigs fed diets containing CLM as compared to the basal diet. The digestibility energy values obtained for CLM, CLM+E, SM and SM+E were 10.2, 8.8, 10.1 and 10.0 MJ/kg DM respectively. Corresponding metabolizable energy were 9.8, 8.3, 9.0 and 9.3 MJ/kg DM, respectively. It was concluded that SM and CLM can be use individually be use in feeding growing pigs as partial substitute for the more expensive conventional plant protein feedstuffs, such as soybean; and can replace up to 23% of the diet of growing pigs.

Long-term follow-up of multi-disciplinary outpatient treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalopathy

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Aims: The current study evaluated the long-term effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary approach to chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalopathy (CFS/ME) in a UK outpatient service. Methods: A longitudinal questionnaire survey was posted to 300 patients, incorporating measures of fatigue, physical functioning, mental health, and pain. Outcome measures administered at baseline (prior to service use) were compared to assessments at discharge, and at follow-up (average 34 months post-intervention). Results: Linear mixed modelling showed that fatigue, physical functioning, and depression significantly improved, although the improvement was reduced for fatigue, physical functioning, and pain at follow-up. Gainful employment had a significant positive association with most measures. Conclusions: The targeted multi-disciplinary service appeared to be at least somewhat effective long-term, and highly acceptable to patients. Patients appeared to benefit from individual and group approaches that combined cognitive behavioural therapy, graded exercise therapy, and pacing.

Distributed Control of Electric Vehicle Charging: Privacy, Performance, and Processing Tradeoffs

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

As global climate change concerns, technological advancements, and economic shifts increase the adoption of electric vehicles, it is vital to study how best to integrate these into our existing energy systems. Electric vehicles (EVs) are on track to quickly become a large factor in the energy grid. If left uncoordinated, the charging of EVs will become a burden on the grid by increasing peak demand and overloading transformers. However, with proper charging control strategies, the problems can be mitigated without the need for expensive capital investments. Distributed control methods are a powerful tool to coordinate the charging, but it will be important to assess the trade-offs between performance, information privacy, and computational speed between different control strategies.\nThis work presents a comprehensive comparison between four distributed control algorithms simulating two case studies constrained by dynamic transformer temperature and current limits. The transformer temperature dynamics are inherently nonlinear and this implementation is contrasted with a piece-wise linear convex relaxation. The more commonly distributed control methods of Dual Decomposition and Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) are compared against a relatively new algorithm, Augmented Lagrangian based Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN), as well as against a low-information packetized energy management control scheme (PEM). These algorithms are implemented with a receding horizon in two distinct case studies: a local neighborhood scenario with EVs at each network node and a hub scenario where each node represents a collection of EVs. Finally, these simulation results are compared and analyzed to assess the methods’ performance, privacy, and processing metrics for each case study as no algorithm is found to be optimal for all applications.
Intellectual, Emotional, Cultural, and Diversity Intelligences

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Three types of intelligence are currently accepted as mainstream among organization leaders. They are intellectual (IQ), emotional (EQ) (Salovey and Mayer 1990), and cultural (CQ) (Konyu-Fogel 2011). IQ, EQ, and CQ are typically assessed when examining organization leaders' effectiveness. These assessments have included aspects of diversity but address peripheral problems and not the core problems that protected class group members experience within many workplaces.
