Intrapartum uterine activity: evaluation of an intrauterine pressure transducer.

A newly available intrauterine pressure transducer was evaluated clinically in 100 patients. Successful insertion was accomplished in 95%. There were no significant intrapartum maternal or fetal complications. Partial dehiscence of a surgically scarred uterus did occur in one patient who received the device, but a clear relationship between its attempted insertion and the dehiscence was not apparent. Early in the clinical trial, a number of devices malfunctioned; the manufacturer defined and remedied the problem. The intrauterine transducer required no maintenance and appeared to be practical in laboring women. We suggest that the utility of the intrauterine pressure transducer might be enhanced with several modifications, including the addition of a re-zeroing mechanism and a reduction in the device's length.

Investigation of Phenolic, Flavonoid, Total Antioxidant Capacity, Vitamins, and Glutathione Contents of Aronia Melanocarpa (Michx.) Fruits

The nutritional profile and antioxidant capacity of ripe aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) fruit were comprehensively analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry. The content of fat-soluble vitamins was quantified as follows: vitamin A – 12.44 ± 0.69 µg/g, vitamin E – 19.51 ± 0.88 µg/g, β-carotene – 51.64 ± 2.44 µg/g, and lycopene – 5.85 ± 0.30 µg/g. Water-soluble vitamins were also abundant, with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) being the most prevalent at 412.92 ± 12.61 µg/g, followed by riboflavin (16.43 ± 0.83 µg/g), pantothenic acid (36.37 ± 1.02 µg/g), and others including thiamine, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, folic acid, and cyanocobalamin. Glutathione levels, essential for redox balance, were measured as 706.32 ± 19.46 µg/g for reduced glutathione (GSH) and 133.67 ± 8.28 µg/g for oxidized glutathione (GSSG). The fruit also exhibited high polyphenol and flavonoid contents, with total phenolics at 81.28 ± 3.21 µg gallic acid equivalents per gram and flavonoids at 65.55 ± 2.50 µg quercetin equivalents per gram. Antioxidant capacity was evaluated using two methods: the DPPH assay yielded an IC₅₀ value of 23.17 ± 1.35 µg/mL, indicating strong radical scavenging activity, while the TEAC method demonstrated a total antioxidant capacity of 272.85 ± 10.91 µmol Trolox equivalents per gram. Ripe aronia fruit is rich in essential vitamins, glutathione, phenolic and flavonoid compounds, and possesses strong antioxidant capacity. These findings support its potential health benefits when consumed in appropriate amounts.

Europawahl 2019: neue politische Konstellationen für die Wahlperiode 2019-2024

This article argues that the results of the European elections 2019 differ considerably in the 28 member states of the European Union since they were primarily determined by factors within the respective national context: the priorities in the political discourse and the actual configuration of the party system. The article identifies new political constellations for the European Parliament (the formation and composition of party groups incl. the relative weight of national groups as well as the relations between party groups) and asks about their impact on the role of the European Parliament in the electoral period 2019-2024 and on the inter-institutional relations. The Spitzenkandidaten procedure serves as a first test case.

The Concept of Business Model Scalability

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to de ne what scalable business models are. Central to the contemporary understanding of business models is the value proposition towards the customer and the hypotheses generated about delivering value to the customer which become a good foundation for a long-term pro table business. However, the main message of this article is that while providing a good value proposition may help the rm ‘get by’, the really successful businesses of today are those able to reach the sweet-spot of business model scalability. Design/Methodology/Approach: The article is based on a ve-year longitudinal action research project of over 90 companies that participated in the International Center for Innovation project aimed at building 10 global network-based business models. Findings: This article introduces and discusses the term scalability from a company-level perspective. It il- lustrates how managers should be using this term for the bene t of their business by focusing on business models capable of achieving exponentially increasing returns to scale, thus ful lling the objective of making it applicable for business decisions and not merely an abstract economical concept. The article nds ve pat- terns of business model scalability that all companies, regardless of industrial a liation, can use to their advantage. Especially the role of stakeholders in the business model is highlighted in achieving scalability. Research limitations/implications: Limitations relating to qualitative research con ne the generalisation of the ndings. The implication of this research is that achieving scalability is not solely a matter of digitalizing business models. Rather, there are a number of speci c business model con gurations that support scalability and the mechanisms to do this are not merely characterized as digital. Practical implications: This article provides managers with a concrete roadmap for how to work towards busi- ness model scalability including suggested managerial processes and how to facilitate these. Originality/Value: The power of business models lies in their ability to visualize and clarify how rms’ may con gure their value creation processes. Among the key aspects of business model thinking are a focus on what the customer values, how this value is best delivered to the customer and how strategic partners are leveraged in this value creation, delivery and realization exercise. This paper couples these advantages with a structure for identifying scalability, and hence stronger business models.

Geometric structure of quantum correlators via semidefinite programming

Quantum information leverages properties of quantum behaviors in order to\nperform useful tasks such as secure communication and randomness certification.\nNevertheless, not much is known about the intricate geometric features of the\nset quantum behaviors. In this paper we study the structure of the set of\nquantum correlators using semidefinite programming. Our main results are (i) a\ngeneralization of the analytic description by Tsirelson-Landau-Masanes, (ii)\nnecessary and sufficient conditions for extremality and exposedness, and (iii)\nan operational interpretation of extremality in the case of two dichotomic\nmeasurements, in terms of self-testing. We illustrate the usefulness of our\ntheoretical findings with many examples and extensive computational work.\n

Interference and Fermions and Bosons Part II

<strong>Two particle product type wavefunctions may be created so as to be symmetric (bosons) or antisymmetric (fermions) on then interchange of the identical particles. As a result, spatial density at a point does not change upon interchange. This approach, however, appears to be mathematical in nature. In Part I of this note, we argued that exp(ipx) free particle momentum wavefunctions within a bound wavefunction W(x) interfere and that full wavefunctions Wn(x) in a linear combination also do the same. As a result, probability interference is ultimately linked to the physical mechanism associated with the periodic exp(ipx) wave behind the Pauli rule that fermions may not occupy the same quantum state. In this note, we try to extend this idea and argue that one does not simply exchange identical particles in the wavefunction as a mathematical procedure, but that actual exchange may occur in the probabilistic quantum mechanical case. We note that a time-independent treatment of scattering from a target already includes the idea of “negative” or out of phase interference within a wavefunction W(x)= exp(ikz) + f(theta, phi) exp(ikr)/r so as to remove some incoming flux as outgoing scattered flux now exists. We suggest that the “minus” sign used in the antisymmetric fermion wavefunction behaves in a similar manner. In (1), we argued that W(x)W(x) in a bound state includes all possible a(p1)exp(i p1 x) a(p2)exp(i p2 x) combinations and represented a product probability. In other words, a particle at x with p1 P(p1/x) may be knocked into p2 at x. Similarly, we argue that cross terms in a two particle fermion wavefunction represent flux W*b(x1)Wa(x1)W*a(x2)Wb(x2) flowing from out of states as an interchange occurs. Main terms such as W*a(x1)Wa(x1)W*b(x2)Wb(x2) represent the presence of particles in the a, b states. If a=b, the presence and flow probabilities cancel locally and there is a vanishing wavefunction i.e. the two fermions may not occupy the same state.</strong> <strong> We argue that one should be able to describe the Pauli exclusion rule in this manner and note that Feynman (2) has used probability arguments in boson scattering to argue the boson enhancement factor. In other words, the mathematical argument of a symmetric wavefunction is not used, but a more physical argument is given.</strong>

Ergodic limits for inhomogeneous evolution equations

Let $u$ satisfy an inhomogeneous wave equation such as \begin{align*} u''(t)+A^{2}u(t)=h(t),\qquad u(0)=f,\quad u'(0)=g. \end{align*} We show that in many cases, the limit as $t\rightarrow \infty$ of $\frac{1}{t}\int_{0}^{t}u(s)ds$ exists, and can be calculated explicitly.

[Association between the excretion levels of urinary TNOC and NAAs in the inhabitants of high and low risk area for esophageal cancer in southern China].

To assess the role of urinary total N-nitroso compounds(TNOC) index in study etiology of N-nitroso compounds(NOC) of esophageal cancer in southern China and to study the association between TNOC index and traditional indexes of N-nitrosamino acids(NAAs). The samples of 12-hr overnight urine were collected from 120 male adults in high-risk area (Nanao county) and low-risk area(Lufeng county) for esophageal cancer. The 240 male healthy subjects(35-64 years old) were selected by a 3-stage random cluster sample procedure. Levels of TNOC and 4 categories of NAAs were measured in samples. The results showed that Urinary TNOC contents were positively correlated with esophageal cancer mortality in the south(rs = 0.25, P < 0.05). Only 7.5% content of urinary TNOC came from the 4 categories of NAAs in the high-risk area when 57% content of urinary TNOC came from the NAAs in the low-risk area. The urinary NOC components in the high-risk area were more complex than the components in the low-risk area. Urinary TNOC is a better index that is applied to assess the exposure dose of TNOC in humans and study etiology of NOC of esophageal cancer. When the categories of NOC in urine are less, TNOC index is correlated with NAAs indexes. The results imply that TNOC are implicated in the etiology of esophageal cancer in southern China.

The Effect of the Petrography, Mineralogy, and Physical Properties of Limestone on Mode I Fracture Toughness under Dry and Saturated Conditions

Determining the fracture toughness of rock materials is a challenging, costly, and time-consuming task, as fabricating a sharp crack in rock specimens will lead to failure of the specimen, and preparing specimens for determining the rock fracture toughness requires special equipment. In this paper, the relationship between mode I fracture toughness (KIC) with the rock index properties, mineralogy, and petrography of limestone is investigated using simple nonlinear and simple/multiple linear regression analyses to provide alternative methods for estimating the fracture toughness of limestones. The cracked chevron notched Brazilian disk (CCNBD) method was applied to 30 limestones with different petrographic and mineralogical characteristics under both dry and saturated conditions. Moreover, the index properties of the same rocks, including the density, porosity, electrical resistivity, P and S wave velocities, Schmidt rebound hardness, and point load index, were determined. According to the statistical analyses, a classification based on the petrography of the studied rocks was required for predicting the fracture toughness from index properties. By classifying the limestones based on petrography, reliable relationships with high correlations can be introduced for estimating the fracture toughness of different limestones using simple tests.

EXPRESSION OF P73 IN MYELOMA CELL LINES AND PLASMA CELLS OF MULTIPLE MYELOMA PATIENTS

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) Is a B-cell malignancy characterised by the accumulation of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Myeloma biology is heterogeneous and this lead to a different clinical behavior. As for other type of cancers, hypermethylation could be a mechanism of resistance in myeloma. Hence, DNA methylation of p73 tumor-suppressor gene can potentially be biomarker for diagnosis or relapse in MM. Aim: The goal of this study was to identify the expression of p73 in myeloma evaluating it in 24 different myeloma cell lines and in multiple myeloma patients. Methods: we evaluated the expression of p73 by q-PCR in 24 HMCL and 6 patients, 2 with MGUS, 2 with MM at diagnosis and 2 with relapsed/refractory MM. We tested the expression of p73 in some HMCL, one per category, by western blot. Moreover, we analyzed the expression of p73 before and after treatment with 5- aza-2-deoxycytidine. Results: 14/21 HMCL (66.7%) did not express p73 to a significant level, 4/21 (19%) have been shown to express the gene and its encoded protein to low levels and only 3/21 (14.3%) expressed p73 to an intermediate level. By western blot, we observed that the protein has a very low concentration in all three categories, considered unexpressed. We have observed that 6/12 (50%) cell lines treated increased the expression of the gene p73 after treatment with 5-aza-2- deoxycytidine, but is not reflected in increasing production of the protein detected by western blot. Finally, we observed that 2/6 (33%) patients expressed the gene at low level and 4/6 (67%) patients did not express p73. Conclusions: Our data do not provide evidence that the expression of p73 may be useful as prognostic indicators at MM diagnosis, because our study is limited to few patients tested. To better define and assess the clinical impact of the p73 expression in MM, it is therefore necessary to test the expression of p73 also in a larger number of patient samples with multiple myeloma. This knowledge may help to develop new markers for detection of minimal residual disease and determine candidate patients for epigenetically targeted salvage therapy regimens.

Cytomegalovirus esophagogastritis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Symptomatic cytomegalovirus involvement of the gastrointestinal tract has become increasingly recognized in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This may take varying forms, often mimicking more well known entities. This is a report of a male intravenous drug abuser with documented acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, who developed dysphagia and evidence of distal esophagitis. Although this was initially thought to be related to reflux peptic disease, he subsequently was documented to have cytomegalovirus esophagitis and gastritis. His course was further complicated by small bowel perforation with cytomegalovirus found here as well. Cytomegalovirus infection, in general, and its increasingly recognized role in the morbidity of patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is discussed.

Assessment of the immediate effects of the neuromuscular taping on the activation of thigh muscles during gait – a case study

INTRODUCTION: Neuromuscular tape is a specialized thin and elastic tape used in rehabilitation. Tape allows free movement and manufacturers suggest that it improves proprioception, changes muscle activity and reduces pain, swelling and muscle spasm. The purpose of this case study was to examine the effects of neuromuscular taping on muscle activation pattern of thigh muscles. METHODS: One healthy male subject (age=30, BMI=24, 8) was included in the study. Electromyographic measurements were performed during 14 gait cycles of self-paced barefoot walking on even surface in three conditions (no tape, neuromuscular tape and placebo tape). Tape was applied unilaterally. Variables of interest were root mean square (RMS) of the electromyographic signal (mean and max) and time before peak (tbp) for selected thigh muscles. Descriptive statistics were performed for all variables, and also paired-samples T-test, Wilcoxon paired signed-rank test and two-way ANOVA where appropriate. RESULTS: There were significant differences between right m. vastus medialis (RMSmean: p=0, 006 ; RMSmax: p=0, 002) and left m. vastus medialis (RMSmean: p=0, 005) with and without tape. Results of two-way ANOVA revealed possible influence of the method and significant difference for m. vastus medialis. Scheffe post hoc test revealed significant difference between neuromuscular tape condition vs. other two conditions (RMSmean: p<0, 001 ; RMSmax: p=0, 002). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There could be other confounding factors responsible for these differences due to study limitations. It seems that neuromuscular tape changes m. vastus medialis activation, but in the unexpected direction in this particular subject. Further studies need to be performed on a larger sample of participants.

Oldest skeleton of a plesiadapiform provides additional evidence for an exclusively arboreal radiation of stem primates in the Palaeocene

Palaechthonid plesiadapiforms from the Palaeocene of western North America have long been recognized as among the oldest and most primitive euarchontan mammals, a group that includes extant primates, colugos and treeshrews. Despite their relatively sparse fossil record, palaechthonids have played an important role in discussions surrounding adaptive scenarios for primate origins for nearly a half-century. Likewise, palaechthonids have been considered important for understanding relationships among plesiadapiforms, with members of the group proposed as plausible ancestors of Paromomyidae and Microsyopidae. Here, we describe a dentally associated partial skeleton of Torrejonia wilsoni from the early Palaeocene (approx. 62 Ma) of New Mexico, which is the oldest known plesiadapiform skeleton and the first postcranial elements recovered for a palaechthonid. Results from a cladistic analysis that includes new data from this skeleton suggest that palaechthonids are a paraphyletic group of stem primates, and that T. wilsoni is most closely related to paromomyids. New evidence from the appendicular skeleton of T. wilsoni fails to support an influential hypothesis based on inferences from craniodental morphology that palaechthonids were terrestrial. Instead, the postcranium of T. wilsoni indicates that it was similar to that of all other plesiadapiforms for which skeletons have been recovered in having distinct specializations consistent with arboreality.
