Eoin Colfer: Ireland ★ Author

Eoin ColferIreland ★ Author Samantha Christensen Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) was inspired to write while he was still in primary school when he learned about Viking history. He was born in 1965 in Wexford in the South-East coast of Ireland, a town founded by the Vikings. His mother was a drama teacher and his father a primary school teacher, historian, and artist, so it is perhaps not surprising that he grew up with a love for the arts, an interest in history and a desire to teach. In Dublin, Colfer earned his Bachelor of Education Degree and after graduation returned to Wexford to be a primary school teacher. From 1992 to 1996, Colfer and his wife worked in Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Tunisia, where he got his inspiration for his first novel, Benny and Omar, which was published in 1998 and won the White Raven Award. The following year Colfer wrote a sequel, Benny and Babe, which was the first of three of his books that have been shortlisted for the 2000 Bisto Book of the Year Award, signaling the beginning of Colfer’s career as a critically acclaimed author. Colfer has gone on to write 26 books, published in languages and countries from all over the world. He has won numerous awards, including the WH Smith People’s Choice Award, the Irish World Literature Award, and the British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year, among others. In 2009 he was honored to be commissioned to write the sixth installment of Douglas Adam’s world famous The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy saga, And Another Thing… Artemis Fowl is probably the most famous of Eoin Colfer’s books and characters, and has played a huge part of his launch to literary superstardom. It is being developed into a film by Miramax, an obvious transition as the novels’ engaging plot and the fast-paced tenor of the book are perfectly suited for the film industry. Moreover, these fast and funny plots are matched by Colfer’s humorous and witty style of writing. He deals with difficult topics such as death, morality, poverty, and cultural differences in a way that is not overbearing, but accessible and palateable. It is this appeal that makes Eoin Colfer one of the forefront writers in his field, and one of Ireland’s bestselling children’s authors. Selected Publications Benny and Omar.

Prophylactic Postoperative Nasogastric Decompression A Prospective Study of Its Requirement and the Influence of Cimetidine in 200 Patients

To determine the need for prophylactic nasogastric decompression following laparotomy and the influence of cimetidine, 200 consecutive patients who underwent major abdominal procedures were prospectively randomized into one of four limbs: no tube-placebo; no tube-cimetidine; tube-placebo; and tube-cimetidine. Patients were evenly distributed among these groups with respect to age, sex, alcohol and tobacco use, previous operations, and types of operations. There was significantly longer time until passage of flatus, bowel movement, and cessation of intravenous fluids in the tube group (p less than 0.05). Duration of postoperative stay increased from 11.4 to 14.1 days in the intubated patients (p less than 0.05). There was also significantly more pain with and frequency of swallowing, and nose/throat discomfort in the tube group. Nasogastric tubes reduced the incidence of vomiting from 28 in the no-tube group to 10 in the tube group (p less than 0.05), but most had only one or two episodes. Cimetidine did not affect either the incidence of vomiting or the duration of intubation, but was associated with a significant increase in pneumonias (p less than 0.05). Five patients without tubes initially, and seven patients with tubes had to have them inserted or replaced for vomiting or abdominal distention, which occurred equally in the placebo and cimetidine limbs. There were no cases of aspiration pneumonia, gastric dilatation, or wound dehiscence in the trial, and the four anastomotic leaks were divided equally between the tube and no-tube groups. The results indicated that prophylactic decompression was unnecessary in most patients and associated with increased morbidity and delayed return of gastrointestinal function. Cimetidine lowered nasogastric output on the first postoperative day (p less than 0.05), but did not prevent vomiting.

Treatment of frontal sinus mucoceles with the osteoplastic flap technique.

The osteoplastic flap technique for treating frontal sinus mucoceles is described. This procedure has the advantages of: being a direct approach, which allows exposure of the entire sinus, provides complete obliteration of the sinus to prevent recurrence of the sinus disease, and prevents blind curettage of any exposed dura mater; leaving no facial deformity after the operation; being a relatively atraumatic procedure with low morbidity and minimum postoperative care; and allowing simultaneous surgery on both frontal sinuses when indicated.

Whole-transcriptome analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of death in the world. It involves a com- plicated pathogenesis. In the present study, we tried to uncover the underlying mechanisms from the RNA level. Whole-transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq data showed that the tumor cells had higher expression levels of genes compared to normal tissue cells, with much more genes related to metabolism, synthesis, and transportation. A total of 4,638 differentially expressed genes were obtained in HCC, in which 3,476 were up-regulated and 1,162 were down-regulated. A total of 2,367 new isoforms and 46 fusion genes were detected in HCC cells using computational method. Within these variants, new iso- forms of NIR and fusion genes PARP15-AHSG caught our attention for their potential roles in cancer development. These findings could be beneficial in guiding future researches.

Outcomes after endovascular mechanical thrombectomy in occluded vascular access used for dialysis purposes

Abstract Purpose Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy using the AngioJet™ system can be considered to reestablish patency in occluded vascular access. The aim of this study was to review our results for endovascular mechanical thrombectomy using the AngioJet™ system in patients with arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) and arteriovenous grafts (AVG). Methods Data collected in a database of patients requiring hemodialysis for renal failure were analyzed. Patients who underwent endovascular mechanical thrombectomy procedures with the AngioJet™ system for occlusion of vascular access were included. Clinical and technical success rates and patency rates were calculated. Multivariate analysis was used to identify factors of influence. Results A total of 92 AngioJet™ procedures in 60 patients with thrombosed vascular access were reviewed during a mean follow‐up period of 21.5 months in patients with an AVF and 11.9 months in patients with an AVG. Technical and clinical success was achieved in 92.6% of AVF cases and 92.0 and 90.8% of AVG cases with an AVG, respectively. Significantly higher primary and primary‐assisted patency rates were observed in the AVF group. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that left‐sided vascular access and female sex were independent predictors for failure regarding primary patency in AVG patients. Immunosuppressive drugs and older age were negative predictors for secondary patency in AVG patients. Conclusions The AngioJet™ system can be deemed an effective technique to reestablish patency in occluded vascular access with minimal use of central venous catheters for dialysis. Good technical and clinical success rates were achieved with acceptable patency rates, especially in AVF patients.

Rapid communication: Integrating working memory capacity and context-processing views of cognitive control

Individuals low in working memory capacity (WMC) exhibit impaired performance on a variety of cognitive control tasks. The executive-attention theory of WMC (Engle &amp; Kane, [2004[) accounts for these findings as failures of goal maintenance and response conflict resolution. Similarly, the context-processing view (Braver et al., [2001]) provides an explanation of cognitive control deficits observed in schizophrenia patients and older adults that is based on the ability to maintain context information. Instead of maintenance deficits, the inhibition view (Hasher, Lustig, &amp; Zacks, [2007]) states that older adults and individuals low in WMC primarily have an impairment in the ability to inhibit information. In the current experiment, we explored the relationships among these theories. Individuals differing in performance on complex span measures of WMC performed the AX-Continuous Performance Test to measure context-processing performance. High-WMC individuals were predicted to maintain the context afforded by the cue, whereas low-WMC individuals were predicted to fail to maintain the context information. Low-WMC individuals made more errors on AX and BX trials and were slower to respond correctly on AX, BX, and BY trials. The overall pattern of results is most consistent with both the executive-attention and context-processing theories of cognitive control.

The Metabolemeter II-Detection of Mesogenic Polymorphism under Pressure Using Small Quantities

Abstract Abstract Every first order phase transition for mesogens can be detected by the continuous recording, as a function of temperature, of the pressure of the sample enclosed in a metallic cell. Studies of a compound (octylcyanobiphenyl) exibiting several transformations (crystal-smectic A, smectic A-nematic, nematic-liquid) show that this barometric method is convenient to detect polymorphism from one thermobarogram, and to draw the Clapeyron phase diagram; the smectic A-nematic transition involving small enthalpy and volume changes is clearly observable and this method is very sensitive. Moreover, the enthalpies and volumes of transition can be deduced from the pressure changes. Lastly, pressure and temperature are intensive data, and very little sample (1.3 mm3) may be used.

An Unusual Presentation of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity and is a potentially fatal disease that proved to be a bane to clinicians throughout the world. In spite of various treatment modalities to manage oral SCC, one key factor for the prognosis is the early detection. Over the past two decades, there has been a surge in the investigations conducted pertaining specifically to oral cancer. Therefore, the purpose of the current case report is to focus on the use of newer techniques like immunohistochemistry (IHC) which is a valuable tool in diagnosing cases with atypical presentation.

Effect of Choline on Yeast Bioassay of Inositol.

Growth inhibition of S. carlsbergensis, caused by choline during routine inositol assays has been described. The effect was noted at a choline to inositol molar concentration of 0.3 to 1 and maximum inhibition was reached at a ratio of 15:1. Similar inhibition occurred with dimethylamino ethanol but was not observed with ethanolamine, serine, betaine, methionine or choline phos-pholipides. For assay purposes, this inhibition was corrected for by the addition of comparable amounts of choline to the standard inositol tubes.

A Novel Flow Cytometry-Based Assay for the Identification of HCN4 CNBD Ligands

Hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels are promising therapeutic targets because of their association with the genesis of several diseases. The identification of selective compounds that alter cAMP-induced ion channel modulation by binding to the cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD) will facilitate HCN channel-specific drug development. In this study, a fast and protein purification-free ligand-binding approach with a surface-displayed HCN4 C-Linker-CNBD on E. coli is presented. 8-Fluo-cAMP ligand binding was monitored by single-cell analysis via flow cytometry, and a Kd-value of 173 ± 46 nM was determined. The Kd value was confirmed by ligand depletion analysis and equilibrium state measurements. Applying increasing concentrations of cAMP led to a concentration-dependent decrease in fluorescence intensity, indicating a displacement of 8-Fluo-cAMP. A Ki-value of 8.5 ± 2 µM was determined. The linear relationship of IC50 values obtained for cAMP as a function of ligand concentration confirmed the competitive binding mode: IC50: 13 ± 2 µM/16 ± 3 µM/23 ± 1 µM/27 ± 1 µM for 50 nM/150 nM/250 nM/500 nM 8-Fluo-cAMP. A similar competitive mode of binding was confirmed for 7-CH-cAMP, and an IC50 value of 230 ± 41 nM and a Ki of 159 ± 29 nM were determined. Two established drugs were tested in the assay. Ivabradine, an approved HCN channel pore blocker and gabapentin, is known to bind to HCN4 channels in preference to other isoforms with an unknown mode of action. As expected, ivabradine had no impact on ligand binding. In addition, gabapentin had no influence on 8-Fluo-cAMP’s binding to HCN4-CNBD. This is the first indication that gabapentin is not interacting with this part of the HCN4 channel. The ligand-binding assay as described can be used to determine binding constants for ligands such as cAMP and derivatives. It could also be applied for the identification of new ligands binding to the HCN4-CNBD.

Current sequence-based models capture gene expression determinants in promoters but mostly ignore distal enhancers

The largest sequence-based models of transcription control to date have been obtained by predicting genome-wide gene regulatory assays across the human genome. This setting is fundamentally correlative, as those models are exposed during training solely to the sequence variation between human genes that arose through evolution, questioning the extent to which those models capture genuine causal signals. Here we confront predictions of state-of-the-art models of transcription regulation against data from two large-scale observational studies and five deep perturbation assays.

Myxofibrosarcoma landscape: diagnostic pitfalls, clinical management and future perspectives

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a common entity of adult soft tissue sarcomas (STS) characterized by a predilection of the extremities and a high local recurrence rate. Originally classified as a myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, this musculoskeletal tumor has been recognized since 2002 as a distinct histotype showing a spectrum of malignant fibroblastic lesions with myxoid stroma, pleomorphism and curvilinear vessels. Currently, the molecular pathogenesis of MFS is still poorly understood and its genomic profile exhibits a complex karyotype with a number of aberrations including amplifications, deletions and loss of function. The diagnosis is challenging due to the unavailability of specific immunohistochemical markers and is based on the analysis of cytomorphologic features. The mainstay of treatment for localized disease is represented by surgical resection, with (neo)-adjuvant radio- and chemotherapy. In the metastatic setting, chemotherapy represents the backbone of treatments, however its role is still controversial and the outcome is very poor. Recent advent of genomic profiling, targeted therapies and larger enrollment of patients in translational and clinical studies, have improved the understanding of biological behavior and clinical outcome of such a disease. This review will provide an overview of current diagnostic pitfalls and clinical management of MFS. Finally, a look at future directions will be discussed.

Resonance oscillation damping of a scanning microscope probe by a near-surface viscous liquid layer

Viscous liquid layer motion between a probe with a tip shaped as a paraboloid of revolution and a surface is considered for semicontact-mode operation of a scanning probe microscope. The presence of a viscous liquid layer leads to energy dissipation and is one of the factors responsible for the decrease in the probe oscillation amplitude. The Reynolds equation for viscous liquid motion is used to obtain an analytic solution to the problem. The formula derived for the loss is compared with experimental data obtained for probes and layers with various curvature radii and viscosities.
