Association Rule Mining and Prognostic Stratification of 2-Year Longevity in Octogenarians Undergoing Endovascular Therapy for Lower Extremity Arterial Disease: Observational Cohort Study (Preprint)

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Two-year longevity is a crucial consideration in revascularization strategies for patients with symptomatic lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). However, factors associated with 2-year longevity and risk stratification in octogenarians or nonagenarians have been underreported. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This paper aims to investigate the associated variables and stratify the 2-year prognosis in older patients with LEAD. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> We performed logistic regression and association rule mining based on the Apriori algorithm to discover independent variables and validate their associations with 2-year longevity. Malnutrition, inflammation, and stroke factors were identified. C statistics and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to assess the impact of different numbers of malnutrition, inflammation, and stroke factors on 2-year longevity. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> We recruited a total of 232 octogenarians or nonagenarians (mean age 85 years, SD 4.2 years) treated with endovascular therapy. During the study period, 81 patients died, and 27 of those (33%) died from a cardiac origin within 2 years. Association rules analysis showed the interrelationships between 2-year longevity and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and nutritional status as determined by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score or Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). The cut-off values of NLR, GNRI, and CONUT were ≥3.89, ≤90.3, and &amp;gt;3, respectively. The C statistics for the predictive power for 2-year longevity were similar between the CONUT score and the GNRI-based models (0.773 vs 0.760; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=.57). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that 2-year longevity was worse as the number of malnutrition, inflammation, and stroke factors increased from 0 to 3 in both the GNRI-based model (92% vs 68% vs 46% vs 12%, respectively; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&amp;lt;.001) and the CONUT score model (87% vs 75% vs 49% vs 10%, respectively; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&amp;lt;.001). The hazard ratio between those with 3 factors and those without was 18.2 (95% CI 7.0-47.2; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&amp;lt;.001) in the GNRI and 13.6 (95% CI 5.9-31.5; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&amp;lt;.001) in the CONUT score model. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> This study demonstrated the association and crucial role of malnutrition, inflammation, and stroke factors in assessing 2-year longevity in older patients with LEAD. Using this simple risk score might assist clinicians in selecting the appropriate treatment. </sec>

Antibiotics in <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i> infections

A prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence, course, effects of treatment and outcome of patients with Yersinia enterocolitica infections. A total of 189 patients were followed: 62.5% had enteric forms of illness, 20.6% extramesenteric forms, 23.2% arthritis and erythema nodosum. Lymphadenopathy with high fever and weight loss, a septic syndrome and hepatitis were predominant manifestations of the extramesenteric form. Ten per cent of the isolates (135) were susceptible to amoxycillin (4 mg/l), 38% to cephradine (8 mg/l), 82% to doxycycline (4 mg/l), 83% to chloramphenicol (4 mg/l), 85% to trimethoprim (1 mg/l), 87% to cefuroxime (8 mg/l), 92% to piperacillin (16 mg/l), 99% to gentamicin (1 mg/l) and 100% to cefotaxime (4 mg/l), pefloxacin (0.12 mg/l), ofloxacin (0.06 mg/l) and ciprofloxacin (0.016 mg/l). The majority of the patients with enteritis recovered without antibiotic therapy. The duration of enteritis was not significantly influenced by antibiotic treatment. Eighty five patients, 46 with enteric and 39 with extramesenteric forms were treated. The clinical response to co-trimoxazole was 71%, and to doxycycline 75%. Cefuroxime, ceftazidime, cefoperazone, piperacillin and gentamicin failed in seven of eight courses. Three patients treated with ciprofloxacin responded well. The role of quinolones in yersiniosis needs further attention.

Saving Energy in Homes Using Wi-Fi Device Usage Patterns

Reducing power usage in the residential sector is a global problem. Appliances used for space heating, cooling, and lighting are the primary sources of home energy consumption, increased costs, and CO2 emissions. Such devices are a significant source of energy wastage if they are left on and not being used. This article proposes a solution to reduce energy wastage in smart homes. The solution consists of a method to detect the presence of resident activities in the household based on Wi-Fi devices. It presents a model for identifying the Wi-Fi devices that are similar in usage compared to the resident's appliances using machine learning techniques. In addition to displaying the device usage charts, this solution helps in automatically turning off such appliances when they are not in use. A controlled experiment is conducted to evaluate the performance of the solution. The results indicate that this approach can significantly reduce energy wastage in the homes.

Large reversible magnetocaloric effect in Er2In compound

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects (MCEs) of the Er2In compound have been investigated. It is found that Er2In undergoes a second-order magnetic transition from ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) state at the Curie temperature TC = 46K and no other transition is observed. These 2 November 2010 ccepted 15 November 2010 vailable online 23 November 2010 eywords: are-earth intermetallic compound observations are in consistentwith previously publishedworks. For amagnetic field change from0 to 5T, the maximummagnetic entropy change ( SM) and refrigerant capacity (RC) are −16 J/kgK and 490 J/kg, respectively, which are comparable to or larger than those of some magnetic refrigerant materials with first-order magnetic transition around the similar magnetic ordering temperature. Large reversible MCE and high RC value indicate that the Er2In compound is a suitable candidate of magnetic refrigerants in -ray diffraction agnetocaloric effect low temperature range.

Pollution and economic development: an empirical research review

Pollution and the economy seem to have been inextricably linked throughout human history. Yet the relationship between environmental harm and economic development is complex and its understanding has been fragmented by disciplinary biases. Economists and environmental scientists have diverged on the urgency of abatement mechanisms and the marginal returns on investment on control technologies and social adaptations. The Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis has dominated this discourse, but is only one part of a broader pollution-economy nexus. As we consider a societal shift towards a circular economy, there is a need to consider a more integrated framework for analyzing the empirical evidence that connects pollution and economic development, and its implications for human well-being and the achievement of the sustainable development goals. This paper develops the main connections between pollution and economic development by reviewing the existing empirical evidence in the literature.

<i>Con Café, Compañerismo, y Calidad</i>: Latina Women Fashioning a Writing Group into a Space of Praxis and Belonging

This article explores the spatial practices through which a group of Mexican immigrant women, participants in a school-based writing workshop I facilitated for four years, molded and gave meaning to our weekly writing routine to foster inclusivity as the basis for collective teaching and learning—creating what I refer to as a space of praxis and belonging. Integrating the insights of Latina feminist ethnography with dialectical and dialogical approaches to spatial production, I consider how workshop participants’ attention to the material, aesthetic, and affective dimensions of the workshop were central to the creation of a space for writing and discussing stories that respected writers’ differences, dignified their life experiences, and encouraged them to consider new ways of envisioning and enacting their lives.

Making Sense of Subcultures: Interpretive Practice and/in Subcultural Theory

This chapter considers the significance of interpretive practice for theorizing and studying alternative subcultures. The chapter first defines interpretation in terms of interpretivist and social constructionist frameworks and situates the subculture concept within interpretive practice. It then offers a brief history of subcultural theory as interpretive practice, focusing on the subcultural theories produced in the American Chicago School of the 1920s and the British Birmingham School of the 1970s, highlighting their interests in marginalized, deviant, and spectacular groups and cultures. Finally, the chapter introduces the contributions to the volume and frames them using three analytical distinctions: whether or how scholars approach social phenomena using the subculture concept; the significance of context for interpretive practice; and how scholars and research participants or subjects embody the practice of interpretation.

Rhetorical Strategies Implemented By The American Medical Association To Identify Roles Within The Interprofessional Healthcare Team

PURPOSE: Healthcare reform is introducing new models of care to serve complex patient needs, including expanded roles for nursing. This has resulted in interested parties debating formal definitions of provider roles in healthcare teams. The purpose of this study is to conduct a rhetorical criticism of content produced by the American Medical Association (AMA) concerning the role of providers within the healthcare team. THEORETICAL/CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: This study’s framework uses rhetorical criticism, an analysis of an organization’s “strategic use of symbols to generate meaning” (Hoffman &amp; Ford, 2010). This analysis evaluates the rhetoric on its potential function both to influence the definition of provider roles and to critique how the organization’s potential power may be implemented. By understanding what the organization displays in its public texts, one can potentially infer the intentions of the organization. METHOD: Press releases and newsletter articles publicly available from the AMA website from 2010 to 2014 were selected based on their relevance to the discussion of healthcare team leadership. The texts were analyzed using a systematic approach to identify and describe rhetorical strategies. This is a systematic, rigorous method for deconstructing texts in order to draw conclusions about the choices a rhetor made in achieving a goal. The analysis was then further enhanced with relevant contextual and historical research, analyzing the development of health care professions as disciplines in the US, and the organization’s history itself in its development as a trade association. RESULTS: Rhetorical strategies used by the AMA include: Appealing to the values of patient safety, teamwork, and competent leaders of teams; and making logical arguments based on contradictions in lay definitions of teamwork and independence. These are used to argue for maintaining legal and financial interests for physicians within healthcare systems. Limitations include analyzing select materials publicly available without an AMA membership. CONCLUSIONS: Defining the role of members within the interprofessional team is of interest to healthcare providers and their representative organizations as new models of care attempt to increase quality, access, and value within the system. As nursing organizations attempt to expand nursing scope of practice at the state level, oppositional views of these bills should be understood to provide counterarguments and effectively engage stakeholders.

Impact of Watershed Development Programmes on Livelihood Conditions of Farmers in Haryana

Watershed development programmes are being implemented with a broad objective to improve socio-economic conditions of the resource-poor and disadvantaged sections of rural population through conservation, regeneration and judicious use of all natural resources, keeping in view of rural development. So, this study assesses the impact of watershed development programmes on agricultural production, yield, cropping pattern and cropping intensity, livestock population, milk production and feed and fodder. For this, two districts were selected from two watershed development programmes on the basis of maximum completed projects and maximum covered area. Two micro watersheds were randomly selected from each district. 30 beneficiary and 30 non-beneficiary households were selected through random sampling from each micro watershed. Average and percentage methods were used for analysing the results. The study found that impact of DDP and IWDP watershed development programmes had been positive on agricultural yield, cropping pattern and benefit-cost ratios in watershed area (WSA), while impact had been weak on cropping intensity. The study also found that watershed development programmes had positive impact on the population of livestock in WSA of Bhiwani and Rohtak districts, but it had weak impact in Hisar and Kaithal districts. The impact of DDP on total milk production and green fodder was positive in both of Bhiwani and Hisar districts but weak impact on IWDP programme. Both programmes had positive impact on employment generated in per acre mandays from agriculture. DDP had positive impact on employment generated from livestock.

Impact of Ethanol Mandates on Corn Prices in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico

The objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of U.S. and Canadian ethanol mandates on com prices in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Ethanol mandates were enacted to create viable alternate energy sources to oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since the majority of ethanol production comes from com, it has led to corn being diverted from a food and feed source to an energy source. While food diversion causes relatively little concern for Canada and US, the rising corn prices have produced social unrest in Mexico where com is a staple food and spending on food forms a large part of consumption spending. Our results indicate that both the US and Canadian ethanol mandates resulted in an increase in com prices in the U.S. as well as in Mexico (Q02 Q17, Q18, Q38, F13).

Supplementary material S2: Optimization of assembly parameters and filtering of individuals and loci from Urbanization without isolation: the absence of genetic structure among cities and forests in the tiny acorn ant <i>Temnothorax nylanderi</i>

Urban alteration of neutral and adaptive evolutionary processes is still underexplored. Using a genome-wide SNP dataset, we investigated (i) urban-induced modifications of population demography, genetic diversity and population structure and (ii) signature of divergent selection between urban and forest populations in the ant species, <i>Temnothorax nylanderi.</i> Our results did not reveal an impact of urbanization on neutral processes since we observed: (i) analogous genetic diversity among paired urban/forest sites and two control populations; (ii) weak population genetic structure explained neither by habitat (urban versus forest) nor by geography; (iii) a remarkably similar demographic history across populations with an ancestral growth followed by a recent decline, regardless of their current habitat or geographical location. The micro-geographical home range of ants may explain their resilience to urbanization. Finally, we detected 19 candidate loci discriminating urban/forest populations and associated with core cellular components, molecular function or biological process. Two of these loci were associated with a gene ontology term that was previously found to belong to a module of co-expressed genes related to caste phenotype. These results call for transcriptomics analyses to identify genes associated with ant social traits and to infer their potential role in urban adaptation.

Health system structure and its influence on outcomes: The Canadian experience

Healthcare delivery systems in Canada are structured using three models: individual institutions, health regions, and single provincial systems, usually with smaller geographic zones. The comparative ability of these models to improve care, outcomes, and the Quadruple Aim is largely unstudied. We reviewed Canadian studies examining outcomes of provincial healthcare delivery system restructuring. Across models, results were inconsistent, and quality of evidence was low. For all provinces, primary care sits outside healthcare delivery systems, with limited governance and integration. The single provincial model can reduce costs of non-clinical support functions like finance, human resources, and analytics. This model may also be best at reducing variations in care, improving electronic information integration that enables clinical decision support and reporting, and supporting the provincial spread and scale of innovations, but further refinements are required and existing studies have major limitations, limiting definitive conclusions.
