Ultrasonographic differentiation of painful hip in developmental age

Introduction The most common diseases in the group of painful hip are transient synovitis, rheumatoid arthritis, infective (septic) arthritis, Perthes disease and slipping of the upper femoral epiphysis. Methodology: The algorhythm covers the first and control examinations in certain time intervals (after: 3-7, 7-15, 21-30 days; as well as 2-4 months). Results and discussion The most frequent feature of painful hip is transient synovitis with 65%, Perthes disease with 13 %, septic arthritis with 6%, rheumatoid arthritis and slipping of the upper femoral epiphysis with 2.5%.The ratio boys and girls was 2.3:1. The average age in the group of the painful hip was 6.8 years, in the group of TS 6.5years. The most frequent clinical signs were limping in 84.2% and hip pain in 79.6%.Through the follow up period the difference of the anterior capsular distance was established for symptomatic hip: the average value on the first exam was 8.1 mm, and on the final exam 4.7 mm 3.6 mm. In transient synovitis, there was no difference in measured values of the anterior and lateral femoral head distance for both hips. The medial duration of synovial effusion, measured ultrasonographically, was 10.6 days, and the duration of the clinical signs was 8.7 days. The prolongated synovitis was recorded in 17.6%, and Perthes disease in 8.4%. The average value of anterior capsular distalnce in these patients was 5.4mm. In group of Perthes disease the values of anterior capsular distance during control examinations showed increase that implicated the lateralisation or extrusion of the femoral head. The values of anterior distance of the femoral head were without significant difference. Conclusion The ultrasonography should be the method of choice in painful hip differentiation regardless of the age. The ultrasonography can replace radiography safely in the primary diagnostic procedure as well as through the control examination.

Analysis on net present value of joint ventures investment using diminishing musyarakah model

Nowdays, joint ventures have grown tremendously between companies all over the world. Joint venture is a partnership between two or more parties that contribute equity of investment to manage a project. The sharing of profit and loss in joint ventures describes the application of diminishing musyarakah principle in investment according to Islamic scholars. The application of diminishing musyarakah can help Muslims to avoid transactions that are based on riba since it is based on syariah principle. Diminishing musyarakah can be defined as an arrangement of agreement whereby the capital provider allows entrepreneurs to buy its equity by installments where the profit and loss will be shared on an agreed ratio. The objective of this paper is to determine the net present value for diminishing musyarakah model in calculating the investment performance by joint venture. It is found that the diminishing musyarakah model can be adapted in determining the investment performance for joint venture using net present value. Thus, this paper may encourage the joint venture company to use diminishing musyarakah concept in managing their investment performance.

‘The Triumph of the Will’: The German Expressionist Body c. 1905-1945 and the Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer.

This thesis explores depictions of the human body in German Expressionist art and the ways in which they might be interpreted through Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy. It is inspired by Franz Marc’s claim that, in Schopenhauer’s terms, the world as will took precedence over the world as representation in his own day. &#13;\nDiscussion begins with an assessment of Vasily Kandinsky’s development of abstract art in relation to Schopenhauer’s philosophy of the world as representation. Here attention is given to Kandinsky’s personal reading of Schopenhauer’s doctrine of vision and colour. Chapter 2 explores depictions of dance in Expressionism, where the body is considered to be an objectification of the will. Discussion is negotiated through a case study of the work of Emil Nolde. In addition to the body in movement, the theme of the naked body was also central to Expressionist ideology and practice. Hence, Chapter 3 engages in an interpretation of Expressionist depictions of the naked body according to Schopenhauer’s doctrine of the Platonic ideas and the world as representation. &#13;\nThe outbreak of war in 1914 presented the Expressionist generation with new challenges. Chapter 4, therefore, examines the military experiences of selected Expressionist artists in order to assess their affirmation or denial of the will to war. The final chapters of the thesis reflect upon the relationship between Expressionism and the emergent Nazi regime in the 1930s. Chapter 5 takes as its theme an exploration of ‘degenerate art’ and ‘degenerate’ bodies in relation to the artist Otto Mueller and his depiction of gypsies, according to Schopenhauer’s moral philosophy. Finally, Chapter 6 investigates Emil Nolde’s association with Nazism and offers a new interpretation of these associations according to Schopenhauer’s doctrine of free will. In conclusion, the thesis demonstrates that Marc’s claims were broadly valid throughout this period but not without exception.&#13;\n

PCA for gender estimation: which eigenvectors contribute?

A pruning schema is applied to multi-layer perceptron (MLP) gender classifier MLP uses eigenvector coefficients of the face space created by principal component analysis (PCA). We show that pruning improves the initial MLP performance by preserving the most effective input while eliminating most of the units and connections. Pruning is also used as a tool to monitor which eigenvectors contribute to gender estimation. In addition, by usage of FERET face database, we test the PCA approach on gender estimation task in a bigger setting than the previous experiments.

A Rail-To-Rail Class-AB Amplifier With an Offset Cancellation for LCD Drivers

A rail-to-rail amplifier with an offset cancellation, which is suitable for high color depth and high-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD) drivers, is proposed. The amplifier incorporates dual complementary differential pairs, which are classified as main and auxiliary transconductance amplifiers, to obtain a full input voltage swing and an offset canceling capability. Both offset voltage and injection-induced error, due to the device mismatch and charge injection, respectively, are greatly reduced. The offset cancellation and charge conservation, which is used to reduce the dynamic power consumption, are operated during the same time slot so that the driving period does not need to increase. An experimental prototype amplifier is implemented with 0.35-mum CMOS technology. The circuit draws 7.5 muA static current and exhibits the settling time of 3 mus, for a voltage swing of 5 V under a 3.4 kOmega resistance, and a 140 pF capacitance load with a power supply of 5 V. The offset voltage of the amplifier with offset cancellation is 0.48 mV.

Vesicoureteral reflux. A classification based on cause and the results of treatment

Two hundred and forty-eight children were evaluated to ascertain the cause of vesicoureteral reflux. Bladder outlet obstruction was corrected when present. Ureteral reimplantation was performed when infection persisted, hydronephrosis worsened, or renal clearances deteriorated. Except in patients with neurogenic bladder and exstrophy, reflux ceased, improved or stabilized in 81%, without operation. When reflux was due to infection or occurred through a normal ureterovesical junction behind an obstruction, reimplantation was unnecessary. Reflux due to a short intravesical ureter usually stopped while a completely gaping orifice often required surgical revision. The more abnormal the ureteral orifice appears, the more likely it is that antireflux surgery will be required. Deterioration of renal function was occurring in spite of therapy in some of the 19% of refluxing renal units requiring reimplantation. It is not possible to successfully manage all patients with reflux without operation.

CORONARY OCCLUSION WITH AND WITHOUT PAIN

In the early years of the clinical recognition of coronary occlusion, substernal or epigastric pain of at least several hours' duration was considered to be a characteristic feature. Subsequent observations have shown not only that this type of pain may be closely simulated by other conditions, such as acute surgical disorders of the abdomen, pulmonary embolism, dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, interstitial emphysema and pneumothorax, but also that painless occlusion of the coronary artery may occur in a certain number of cases, with dyspnea replacing pain most frequently as the presenting symptom. The clinical picture here is that of failure of the left ventricle, followed by congestive heart failure. In a still smaller percentage of cases the severe initial anginal pain may be replaced by symptoms suggesting a cerebral vascular lesion, such as sudden weakness, dizziness, syncope and unconsciousness, or by gastrointestinal features, such as nausea, vomiting, distention, obstipation and

Dynamic Stability Testing of Unconventional Configurations

Abstract : Situations frequently occur when standard wind-tunnel test equipment, based on the concept of an all-containing rear-sting support is impractical or even impossible to use. In this paper some possible alternative test arrangements are indicated and descriptions are given of the actual experimental equipment and procedures. Full- and half-model techniques are discussed and the experimental procedures include free- and forced-oscillation methods. Examples contain cases such as cones at incidence and combinations of two models in close proximity (space shuttle), at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. Comparisons of results obtained with different methods and techniques are included. (Author)

Aspects of the Orange Revolution I. Democratization and Elections in Post-Communist Ukraine

Ukraine's 2004 presidential election was falsified, spurring the Orange Revolution. To many observers, the Orange Revolution was a shock, and the stolen elections a recent development. However, both the election fraud and the effort to topple the government of Leonid Kuchma emerged from political dynamics that had appeared in earlier Ukrainian elections.In this path breaking volume, leading scholars place Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution in the longer perspective of Ukraine's post-Soviet electoral politics. Covering both presidential and parliamentary elec-tions over the entire post-Soviet period, the chapters clarify the man-ner in which earlier elections had emerged as part of the battle for power in Ukraine well before 2004. The opposition that came to power in 2004 had also won the 2002 elections and had developed its strategies during opposition protests that had been catalyzed by the Kuchmagate crisis in 2000. The evolution of the dynamics that led to the fraudulent 2004 election reveals that the events of 2004 represented continuity as well as change. By placing the 2004 elections within a longer trajectory, the volume enriches our understanding of the Orange Revolution and helps us to understand the difficulties faced in consolidating Ukraine's democratic breakthrough following the Orange Revolution.The volume contains an introduction to Aspects of the Orange Revo-lution I-VI by Andreas Umland followed by eight chapters by Robert K. Christensen, Edward R. Rakhimkulov and Charles Wise, Paul D'Anieri, Robert Kravchuk and Victor Chudowsky, Paul Kubicek, Taras Kuzio, Lucan Way, and Anna Makhorkina. These authors bring complex and varied perspectives that situate Ukraine's post-Soviet elections in economic reforms, constitutional law, foreign policy objectives of integrating into Europe, as well as in the broader context of the rough and tumble competition for political control of Ukraine

Cell type-specific differential expression in Alzheimer’s disease and cancer using spatial transcriptomics

Abstract Spatial transcriptomics enables spatially resolved gene expression measurements at near single-cell resolution. The detection of genes that are differentially expressed across tissue context for cell types of interest is an essential challenge for dissecting pathological mechanisms. However, changes in cell type composition across space and measurement contamination from other cell types introduce complex statistical challenges. Here, we introduce a statistical method, Generalized Linear Admixture Models for Differential Expression (GLAMDE), that estimates cell type-specific patterns of differential gene expression while accounting for localization of other cell types. By modeling spatial transcriptomics gene expression as an additive mixture, across cell types, of generalized log-linear functions, we provide a unified framework for identifying gene expression changes for a wide-range of relevant contexts: changes due to pathology, anatomical regions, physical proximity to specific cell types, and cellular microenvironment. Our approach enables statistical inference across multiple samples and replicates. We demonstrate, through simulations and validation experiments on Slide-seq and MERFISH data, that our approach accurately identifies cell type-specific differential gene expression with valid uncertainty quantification. Lastly, we apply GLAMDE to characterize spatially-localized tissue changes in the context of disease. In an Alzheimer’s mouse model Slide-seq dataset, we identify plaque-dependent patterns of cellular immune activity. We also find a putative interaction between tumor cells and myeloid immune cells in a Slide-seq tumor dataset. GLAMDE is available within the spacexr R package.

A Model-Based Approach to Predicting Graduate-Level Performance Using Indicators of Undergraduate-Level Performance

The graduate admissions process is crucial for controlling the quality of higher education, yet, rules-ofthumb and domain-specific experiences often dominate evidence-based approaches. The goal of the present study is to dissect the predictive power of undergraduate performance indicators and their aggregates. We analyze 81 variables in 171 student records from a Bachelor's and a Master's program in Computer Science and employ state-of-the-art methods suitable for high-dimensional data-settings. We consider regression models in combination with variable selection and variable aggregation embedded in a double-layered cross-validation loop. Moreover, bootstrapping is employed to identify the importance of explanatory variables. Critically, the data is not confounded by an admission-induced selection bias, which allows us to obtain an unbiased estimate of the predictive value of undergraduatelevel indicators for subsequent performance at the graduate level. Our results show that undergraduatelevel performance can explain 54% of the variance in graduate-level performance. Significantly, we unexpectedly identified the third-year grade point average as the most significant explanatory variable, whose influence exceeds the one of grades earned in challenging first-year courses. Analyzing the structure of the undergraduate program shows that it primarily assesses a single set of student abilities. Finally, our results provide a methodological basis for deriving principled guidelines for admissions committees.

A novel method for orthotopic testicular transplantation in rats.

Rat testis transplantation with a segment of donor abdominal aorta end-to-side anastomosed to recipient’s abdominal aorta was first reported by Lee.~1 But thrombus was formed in the donor abdominal aorta segment. Goldsein~2 and Lee~3 (improved this) technique using end-to-side anastomosis of an aortic patch with the testicular artery to the recipient’s aorta and the testicular vein was anastomosed to the vena cava of the recipient. With this method, the animal with the testicular artery and vein paralleling and originating no more than 4 mm apart is considered a suitable donor, which is scarce because of the variability of testicular vessels. This problem limits the wide use of testicular transplantation in rats. Based on these findings, we established a novel testicular transplantation model which was recreated as closely as possible to the normal vascular anatomy of the testis in rats. The functional activities of these transplants were also presented.
