Abstract TP288: Introduction of a 24/7 Acute Care Nurse Practitioner-Based Stroke Code Team Improved Compliance with Time Targets

Introduction: An on-site stroke team improves access to IV tPA and speeds assessment of acute stroke patients. The impact of an acute care nurse practitioner (ACNP)-based team to provide 24/7 on-site stroke coverage was studied at a Primary Stroke Center that previously lacked on-site coverage around-the-clock. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the introduction of 24/7 on-site coverage by an ACNP-based acute stroke team would improve compliance with time targets for rapid assessment of stroke patients. Methods: A single Primary Stroke Center in Honolulu, HI prospectively collected data on acute stroke code activations for the Get With the Guidelines - Stroke clinical database over a 33-month period. We retrospectively analyzed data for consecutive periods of 19 months before and 14 months after introduction of a 24/7 on-site acute stroke code team that included an ACNP as first responder. Data included patient characteristics, target times, and tPA utilization. Results: During the 19-month period prior to ACNP coverage, 200 acute stroke code activations occurred. The mean age of patients was 67.6 years, 51.5% were male, and the mean initial NIH stroke scale score was 15.3 +/- 5.1. Acute ischemic stroke was diagnosed in 47% of acute stroke code activations and 36.2% of those were treated with IV tPA. During the 14-month period after ACNP coverage began, the number of stroke code activations increased to 276. The mean age of patients was 67.5 years, 44.6% were male, and the mean initial NIH stroke scale score was 12.4 +/- 7.2. Acute ischemic stroke was diagnosed in 53.3% of acute stroke code activations and 33.3% of those were treated with IV tPA. After the intervention, door-to-CT-completion time improved from 45.2 +/- 30.1 to 37.8 +/- 20/8 minutes (p=0.192), door-to-lab-result time improved from 42.2 +/- 11.4 to 34.0 +/- 12.4 minutes (p=0.003), and door-to-needle time improved from 60.8 +/- 30.2 to 55.1 +/- 24.3 minutes (p=0.367). After the intervention, compliance with the 60-minute target door-to-needle time improved from 62.1% to 72.3% (p=0.247). Conclusions: Introduction of 24/7 on-site ACNP coverage as first responder for acute stroke code activations resulted in modest improvement of compliance with target times for assessment of acute stroke patients.

Possible involvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress in obesity associated with leptin resistance

Leptin is a hormone, which plays a central role in inhibiting food intake and body weight gain. Leptin is secreted from exocrine as well as endocrine cells. Circulating leptin activates JAK-STAT tyrosine kinases through Ob-Rb leptin receptor in the hypothalamus and brain stem. In recent years, "leptin resistance" has been considered to be one of the main causes of obesity. However, the detailed mechanisms of leptin resistance are not well understood. Recently, we hypothesized possibility that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in leptin resistance. In the present manuscript, we would like to mention possible mechanisms of ER stress-induced leptin resistance and possible implication in obesity. In addition, pathophysiological role of leptin's action in regulating endocrine as well as exocrine functions at the state of ER stress are discussed.

Adaptive Finite Element Method Assisted by Stochastic Simulation of\n Chemical Systems

Stochastic models of chemical systems are often analysed by solving the\ncorresponding Fokker-Planck equation which is a drift-diffusion partial\ndifferential equation for the probability distribution function. Efficient\nnumerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation requires adaptive mesh\nrefinements. In this paper, we present a mesh refinement approach which makes\nuse of a stochastic simulation of the underlying chemical system. By observing\nthe stochastic trajectory for a relatively short amount of time, the areas of\nthe state space with non-negligible probability density are identified. By\nrefining the finite element mesh in these areas, and coarsening elsewhere, a\nsuitable mesh is constructed and used for the computation of the probability\ndensity.\n

Research on High-Frequency Stock Pair Trading Strategy Based on MS-GARCH Model

With the rapid development of high-frequency trading, pair trading, a classic statistical arbitrage strategy, has gradually become a widely applied trading method in the market. This paper focuses on the construction and application of high-frequency stock pair trading strategies based on the MS-GARCH (Markov Switching Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) model. First, we select suitable stock pairs for pair trading by performing cointegration tests on high-frequency stock data. Then, the MS-GARCH model is used to model the price volatility of these stock pairs, and a high-frequency pair trading strategy is designed based on this model. Through simulation experiments, the effectiveness and robustness of the strategy under different market conditions are verified. The research results show that the MS-GARCH model can effectively capture the volatility characteristics of the market, helping investors achieve better returns and risk control in high-frequency trading. Finally, the paper discusses the potential applications and improvements of high-frequency stock pair trading strategies.

(Re)Marking Heteronormativity: Resisting Practices in Early Childhood Education Contexts

IN THIS PAPER WE DRAW from our own experiences and research into sexualities matters in early childhood education to illustrate the ongoing silencing of some forms of sexuality in the contexts of initial teacher education and practices with children and families. Through discourse analysis we explore how, despite increased attention to heteronormativity in research and policy, practices in both contexts remain marked by heteronormativity. How does an investment in silence and heteronormativity lead to or diminish possibilities for high-quality teaching and learning? This paper considers this question and seeks to resist such practices while (re)marking possibilities for the future.

Going beyond information given : how approach versus avoidance motivational cues influence encoding of meaning and details

In five studies we investigated how approach versus avoidance motivational cues affect thinking styles. Based on the cognitive tuning account we proposed that approach motivation facilitates abstract thinking and impedes concrete thinking, whereas the reverse is true for avoidance motivation. Individuals with an approach motivation go beyond the information given and focus on its central meaning, whereas individuals with an avoidance motivation focus on the externally provided information and attend to the specifics and contextual features of the information at hand. Two experiments using the perceptual interference paradigm that distinguishes between encoding of meaning and perceptual details demonstrated the influence of motivational cues on thinking styles: Participants engaging in arm flexion (approach motivation) recalled more perceptual interference than intact items, which is attributed to higher-level, interpretative encoding operations; participants engaging in arm extension (avoidance motivation) recalled more intact than perceptual interference items, which is attributed to elaborative encoding operations that go beyond the immediate interpretation and examine the distinctive stimulus characteristics. Two subsequent experiments demonstrated that encoding of perceptual interference versus intact items is bidirectionally linked to global versus local perception, suggesting that both courses of action involve processing structural relations among elements or, respectively, of perceptual details. The fifth experiment showed that participants with an approach motivation processed abstract why-aspects of action more fluently than concrete how-aspects of action, whereas participants with an avoidance motivation processed how-aspects more fluently than why-aspects. Altogether, the results suggest a functional compatibility between motivational orientations and thinking styles. Implications for research on person perception and text understanding are discussed.

Modeling Sampling Strategy Optimization by Machine Learning Based Analysis

Optical proximity correction (OPC) model has become a necessity in advanced lithography in order to improve design to wafer fidelity. Typically, a limited set of test patterns are measured for OPC model calibration. More test patterns are used when node goes to smaller. However, more modeling data usually mean heavier metrology workload, longer model optimization time, and more computational resource demands. To balance the resource & time consumption and model accuracy, here we proposed a novel way to optimize modeling sampling strategy using machine learning analysis. The proposed approach uses machine learning platform (MLP) to generate feature vector and does proper hyper-space coverage analysis for sampling reduction. This method can significantly reduce metrology burden and improves model tuning cycle without sacrificing model accuracy and robustness.

&lt;title&gt;Brightness perception under transient glare conditions with myopic observers wearing contact lenses and spectacles&lt;/title&gt;

Transient glare reduces the perceived brightness for stimulus luminances within the scotopic-mesopic range. This work studies this effect in myopic observers with lens and spectacles corrections and in one emmetrope. The task of the subject consists of compare brightness of two uniform luminance fields sequentially displayed, one of which had a reference luminance of 1 cd/m<SUP>2</SUP>. The reference stimulus was presented under glare condition the angle between the glare source and the lie of sight was 10 degrees. The reference field and he glare source were onset at the same time. Subjects had to report which field was brighter with respect to one another. A YES-NO method with constant stimulus was adopted to determine the perceptual matching luminance. Then duration of each stimulus was 300 msec and the interval between both of them was 1.2 msec. We found the effect of the transient glare is stronger as myopic subjects wear glasses corrections than they wear contact lens and the effect is even less for emmetropic subject with the naked eyes. Results could be explained considering an additional ectoptic light veil due to scattering on the glasses and lens.

Frameworks with forced symmetry I: Reflections and rotations

We give a combinatorial characterization of generic frameworks that are minimally rigid under the additional constraint of maintaining symmetry with respect to a finite order rotation or a reflection. To establish these results we develop a new technique for deriving linear representations of sparsity matroids on colored graphs and extend the direction network method of proving rigidity characterizations to handle reflections.

The party of order and the fear of freedom: American Conservatism and state violence

It is frequently argued that the political culture of the United States has been dominated by liberal values. Yet there is good evidence that the American state has been particularly prone to sanction the use of violence against its own subjects – violence directed not only against those who were deemed ethnic or racial outsiders but also – more perplexingly – against insiders, like white workers. How can this be explained? This paper suggests that, contrary to conventional wisdom, there was an important strand of European-style conservatism in the United States. While labour leaders made regular use of the language of liberty, business elites and their political and military allies repeatedly reached for the language of order versus chaos. These conservatively-minded elites were the main instigators of state repression against insiders, especially during the periods of high industrial conflict from the 1870s to the 1930s. The paper considers why they were more prone to reach for repression than their European counterparts. It examines differences in their capacity to engage in repression – including the absence of an aristocratic officer corps and an independent state bureaucracy – as well as differences in the ideological environment.

QED Mesons, the QED Neutron, and the Dark Matter

Schwinger’s boson solution for massless fermions in QED in 1+1D has been applied and generalized to quarks interacting in QED and QCD interactions, leading to stable and confined open-string QED and QCD boson excitations of the quark-QCD-QED system in 1+1D. Just as the open-string QCD excitations in 1+1D can be the idealization of QCD mesons with a flux tube in 3+1D, so the open-string QED excitations in 1+1D may likewise be the idealization of QED mesons with masses in the tens of MeV region, corresponding possibly to the anomalous X17 and E38 particles observed recently. A further search for bound states of quarks interacting in the QED interaction alone leads to the examination on the stability of the QED neutron, consisting of two d quarks and one u quark. Theoretically, the QED neutron has been found to be stable and estimated to have a mass of 44.5 MeV, whereas the analogous QED proton is unstable, leading to a long-lived QED neutron that may be a good candidate for the dark matter.

[Thyroidectomy. A prospective assessment of hemithyroidectomy].

Hemithyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy are safe procedures with few side effects, if a meticulous dissection is performed. Hypocalcaemia following bilateral operations is usually transient and the need for calcium and vitamin D supplementation is low and usually related to the underlying disease rather than to the operation. Total thyroidectomy will remove the target organ for the immune response in patients with hyperthyroidism and the risk of toxic ophthalmopathy is minimised. Lastly, the risk of recurrent disease is eliminated. Six per cent had minor and probably transient local complaints at control three months after the operation.

Detection of respiratory syncytial virus serum antibodies by an ELISA system.

An ELISA test for respiratory syncytial (RS) virus assay was adapted and standardized; it gave 10-15 times higher antibody titres than complement fixation (CF) but was not a more sensitive test for detecting recent RS virus infection in persons above 1 year of age. In testing normal-population sers, ELISA revealed twice more positive sera than the CF test. Owing to its high sensitivity and apparent ability to detect long-persisting antibodies, ELISA is the test of choice for sero-epidemiological surveys on RS virus infections.

&lt;title&gt;Ultrasonic imaging of a beat culture icon&lt;/title&gt;

Jay DeFeo's sculptural-painting was originally begun as a 'concept with a center'. This DeFeo work was pivotal to both her artistic recognition and development It epitomized the beat- culture's newly discovered creative freedoms encouraged during the art renaissance of the period that has come to be known as America's Chamelot. Jay DeFeo's Rose was the culmination of an almost ritualized performance-art process of creation and destruction that spanned the years 1958 through 1965 and resulted in a 0.4 X 2.5 X 3.2 meter, 100 kilogram composite-laminate painting/artifact. When the artwork begun to crumble twenty years ago it was totally encased in approximately 10cm of steel-reinforced plaster for structural support. Here we will describe the solids-imaging techniques considered and utilized in determining the painting's internal composition to aid in safe extraction of the artwork from its plaster tomb followed by complete restoration. Our imaging goals were first, locate the interior plaster-paint boundary and second, characterize the size, shape and relative geometry of voids and artifacts in the paint composite laminate to facilitate the positioning and embedding weight-bearing pins.

A Study on the Efficiency Improvement of the Safety Management Personnel System in Apartment Construction Site

In construction work, safety accidents often occur in combination with unstable physical and human conditions during preparation and execution of work. In Korea, the accident rate is higher to that of any country in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures by fundamental prescription. In this paper, in the case of construction safety management, we tried to find a reasonable alternative through a questionnaire survey to apply to subcontracting and small-scale construction. In conclusion, workers who are well aware of the task could be able to reduce the accident rate by deploying them as safety management officers after receiving the training.

Assessment of plasma insulin, c-peptide, and blood pressure parameters of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications

Background: Regardless of the type of diabetes mellitus, there is always a Beta-cell dysfunction leading to absolute insulin deficiency in type 1 diabetes mellitus or associated with insulin resistance in case of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: A total of 267 subjects consisting of 164 diabetic patients and 103 non-diabetic apparently healthy individuals were analysed. The plasma insulin and c-peptides levels were determined using enzyme link immunosorbent assay, while plasma glucose level was determined using standard spectrophotometric method. Results: The biochemical results showed that the mean plasma glucose of Type 1 diabetes (213.65±20.35) and Type 2 diabetes (218.78+7.85) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of non-diabetic control (81.88±17.22) mg/dl; the mean plasma glucose and the systolic reading of the Diabetes Mellitus with Nephropathy, hypertension, coronary artery disease, neuropathy, and retinopathy patients were significantly (p<0.05) higher than the control subjects. Among diabetic hypertensive patients mean insulin and c-peptide levels were significantly (p<0.05) lower, while the mean insulin level was insignificantly (p>0.05) lower in diabetic patients with neuropathy or coronary artery disease. No significant (p>0.05) differences was observed in the mean plasma c-peptide level, and diastolic reading of diabetic patient with neuropathy. There were no significant (p>0.05) differences in the mean plasma c-peptide level, systolic and diastolic readings of Diabetic patients with coronary heart disease or retinopathy. Conclusion: There were significant differences in the blood pressure parameters in both the diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications in this study.

The partial molal volumes of gases in water at 0°C

The partial molal volumes of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in water at 0 °C have been determined by a new technique based on the use of a Gilfillan-Polanyi micro-pyknometer as a float. The value obtained for nitrogen is 37.0 ml and that for oxygen, 31 ml. The value for carbon dioxide is found to vary from 44 to 28 ml as the pressure at which the water is saturated with the carbon dioxide varies from 0 to 6 cm Hg. The changes in the density of water at 0 °C produced by saturation with nitrogen, oxygen, and air at 1 atm pressure are -9.3, + 1.8, and -4.7 p.p.m. respectively. The density of air-saturated water is considerably greater than would be expected from the sum of the effects due to nitrogen and oxygen separately.
