A comparison of Chinese traditional and Western medical approaches for the treatment of mild hypertension.

We compared the efficacy of Chinese traditional treatment for mild hypertension with that of a standard Western medical regimen in a group of 50 well-matched patients (24 allocated to Western medicine and 26 to Chinese traditional medicine) with mild hypertension (diastolic blood pressure 90-104 mmHg). Those receiving Western therapy were treated in a stepped-care fashion with dihydrochlorothiazide and atenolol. Those in the Chinese traditional therapy group received one of two mixtures of nine herbs and other ingredients, depending on symptoms at initial evaluation. Blood pressure dropped significantly in both groups after only a few days on therapy. After 19 days on treatment, the group receiving Western therapy had a fall in blood pressure from 168.2/96.3 mmHg to 137.3/76.7 mmHg (p less than 0.01), while those on Chinese traditional therapy fell from 168.2/95.9 mmHg to 146.4/80.5 mmHg (p less than 0.01). The fall in blood pressure was significantly greater, however, in those given Western therapy. The relief of existing symptoms or development of possible drug side effects was similar in both groups, except for nocturia, occurring more often in the group treated with Western therapy. We conclude that Western therapy is more effective in reducing blood pressure as compared with Chinese traditional therapy, but effective control of blood pressure in mild hypertensives is possible with either form of treatment.

Cross Disease Analysis Reveals Novel Risk Genes for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

Background: Previous studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori infection (HPI) is related to a reduced risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) by unknown biological mechanisms. It is hypothesized that EAC and HPI have strong genetic associations.Methods: An integrated analysis, using large-scale ResNet relation data and gene expression data for HPI and EAC, to identify potential EAC risk genes from a HPI-gene group was conducted. Disease-gene relation data were acquired from the Pathway Studio ResNet Mammalian database. Gene expression data were acquired from samples of 92 subjects including 64 EAC cases and 28 normal controls.Results: Genes linked to HPI and EAC present significant overlap (79 genes, p-value = 2.5E-75) and play roles within multiple common genetic pathways (enrichment p-value â¤ 5.05E-17 for the top 10 pathways) that are implicated with both diseases. A genetic network of 32 genes was identified through which HPI may exert influence on EAC. There were 6 HPI genes that presented significant differences (p-value < 1e-10) between EAC cases and controls, including: MUC13, AQP3, TFF3, SFTPD, NOD2, and PIGR. Network analysis showed that these genes demonstrated strong functional associations with EAC and may be potential EAC risk genes.Conclusion: Results from this study support the hypothesis that complex genetic associations exist between HPI and EAC, and that HPI-related genes may also play roles in EAC pathogenic development. This provides new insights into EAC candidate gene identification.

A Quality Improvement Project to Determine the Effect of Aromatherapy on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in a Short‐Stay Surgical Population

Abstract Postoperative nausea and vomiting ( PONV ) is a major concern for short‐stay surgical patients because it can delay discharge and cause preventable postoperative complications, which in turn can increase hospital costs. Evidence suggests that aromatherapy effectively reduces PONV , either as a monotherapy or in conjunction with pharmacologic antiemetics. This quality improvement project investigated the effectiveness of aromatherapy in reducing PONV in a short‐stay surgical population. The outcome of this project supported the hypothesis that the administration of blended aromatherapy would result in a significant decrease in patients’ self‐reported ratings of nausea. This finding suggests that aromatherapy is an appropriate adjunct therapy for decreasing patient nausea and vomiting in this short‐stay surgical unit and may help prevent discharge delays in this population.

Low-Latency Image Fusion Implementation using FPGA

Image fusion is useful for obtaining multiple input from the camera and may enhance details of a given scene. For example, a regular RGB combined with heat vision may allow a visual example of the scene's heat, or widen the the view, i.e., the panorama view or similar to that of a human's visual field. In current applications, image fusion is not done in real time. Users would have to wait for a period of time before the images are combined together. This project uses a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to present image fusion with low latency of about 17 ms, which is not noticeable by the human eye. The paper also presents novel approaches to minimizing hardware usage and effectively uses Vivado's architecture to communicate with the processor to fuse two 1080p videos. The result of the program produces a ghosting effect on the output result because of the lack of homography transformation and noise coming from the webcam frame-to-frame.

Understanding Dynamic Transactions Between Personality Traits and Partner Relationships

When examining the associations between personality traits and partner relationships, the majority of studies have focused on the one-way effects of personality traits on the quality and stability of relationships. Recent work, however, has shown that relationships likewise retroact on personality traits and their development. Apart from these mutual influences, recent studies have also emphasized the necessity of considering both members of a couple in order to understand how their personalities and perceptions of the relationship interact. We review the status quo of research on personality-relationship transactions and outline suggestions for future research that move the focus from predicting the interplay between the two domains to explaining how personality traits and partner relationships dynamically interact. Specifically, we propose the need for (a) a functional perspective on personality traits, (b) a differentiated view of behavior, and (c) acknowledgment of the dynamic nature of traits and relationships in appropriate analysis models.

Adaptor protein complexes and disease at a glance

Adaptor protein (AP) complexes are heterotetramers that select cargo for inclusion into transport vesicles. Five AP complexes (AP-1 to AP-5) have been described, each with a distinct localisation and function. Furthermore, patients with a range of disorders, particularly involving the nervous system, have now been identified with mutations in each of the AP complexes. In many cases this has been correlated with aberrantly localised membrane proteins. In this Cell Science at a Glance article and the accompanying poster, we summarize what is known about the five AP complexes and discuss how this helps to explain the clinical features of the different genetic disorders.

Netherlandish culture of the sixteenth century : urban perspectives

A selection of essays by an international group of historians and art historians on the rich urban culture of the sixteenth-century Low Countries. The authors of this volume examine various fields of cultural discourse in the Netherlands of the sixteenth century: the political, commercial, religious, artistic, and sensory domains, and less obviously metaphysical properties like time and space. What defined the Low Countries were not its borders and its territories but its cities, and their economies dominated political relations. A dense network of large cities and small towns developed hand in hand with a broad range of textile and luxury industries. In Antwerp, culture was commerce: its art and printing industries catered to much of the Western world and, at the same time, carved a confident self-image celebrating the liberal arts as a means of social and self-improvement. Antwerp is omnipresent in this book, with essays on its painting, printing, politics, and public festivals. But other cities such as Bruges, Leuven, and Leiden also figure prominently. It was precisely the interconnectedness of urban centers, large, middle and small, rather than their autonomous character, that defined civic culture in the Low Countries. Among the topics treated are differing notions of urban topography, the dialogue between city and court, issues of censorship, and the sensory and psychological response to texts and images

COMMENTARY Interpreting Effect Sizes and Clinical Relevance of Pharmacological Interventions for Fibromyalgia

The Author(s) 2013. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Duloxetine, milnacipran, and pregabalin are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the management of fibromyalgia. A number of meta-analyses, pooled analyses, and systematic reviews have been published in recent years involving the efficacy of these three medications for pain in fibromyalgia. Despite being based on the same clinical data, some analyses found these treatments to have a clinically relevant effect on pain, while others concluded that the advantages were small or of questionable clinical relevance. This commentary discussed possible reasons behind these differing conclusions and explored ways of evaluating the clinical relevance of pharmacological treatments for fibromyalgia. In particular, we considered: (1) the importance of judicious and careful interpretation of average treatment effect size and the recognition that average treatment effect sizes do not always tell the whole story; (2) the utility of individual patient response data to assess clinical relevance; and (3) the importance of considering pain reduction within the context of other benefits due to the presence of associated symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia.

A Minimal Triplet in Altaic: Round Licensing

This paper presents an optimality-theoretic comparison of three round vowel patterns in the Altaic family. At the core is an analysis of bisyllabic trigger round harmony, a pattern uncovered in recent investigation of Classical Manchu and Oroqen (Tungusic; Zhang 1996). In these languages round spreading takes place only when the first two syllables of a word are round. This study isolates two separate properties of round vowel distribution in bisyllabic trigger patterns: round licensing ([+round] must be linked to the initial syllable) and round spreading. Bisyllabic triggers are derived through a constraint interaction explored here, called ÔParasitic Constraint SatisfactionÕ, in which a given constraint loses to satisfaction of a dominating constraint except when violation of that dominating constraint is independently induced by a third higherranked constraint. In the case of bisyllabic trigger round harmony, this kind of interaction is achieved by ranking licensing and spreading separately with respect to a tautosyllabicity constraint on features. More detailed examination of the spreading and licensing requirements finds that they can be analyzed solely in terms of markedness and faith constraints. Positional identity (Beckman 1997) and markedness of feature cooccurrences play a critical role, characterizing the special status of the initial syllable and realizing height stratification of rounding restrictions. The related patterns of simple round licensing and simple round

Endolymphatic sac papillary carcinoma treated with surgery and post-operative intensity-modulated radiotherapy: A rare case report

Endolymphatic sac tumor is a rare papillary neoplasm of the temporal bone which can occur sporadically or in association with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Many cases have been reported in neurosurgical literature wherein surgical excision has proved to be the gold standard of treatment. This article highlights the rarity of the pathology and the role of radiotherapy to the residual lesion after surgery. Benefits of intensity modulated radiotherapy in such irregular-shaped tumor, which is in close vicinity to the critical structures, are also discussed.

Comparative Ultrastructure and Systematics of the Colpodida. Structural Conservatism Hypothesis and a Description of <i>Colpoda steinii</i> Maupas*

SYNOPSIS. A brief review of the comparative ultrastructure of several major taxa of ciliated protozoa has disclosed a relationship between the level of biologic organization and the supposed conservatism of cellular structures. The structural conservatism hypothesis proposes that conservation of structure through time is inversely related to the level of biologic organization. If true, this hypothesis will provide a rationale for future systematic investigation of ciliates. Comparative analysis of the fine structure of species of the ciliate order Colpodida will be used as a detailed test of the structural conservatism hypothesis. In this report, the ultrastructure of Colpoda steinii Maupas is described and compared to previous descriptions of colpodids. A new terminology for ciliate ultrastructures is proposed which avoids the ambiguities of the present, taxonomically oriented one.

High Resolution Two-Dimensional Electrophoretic Study of Human Seminal Plasma Proteins

A comprehensive biochemical screening procedure for the evaluation of seminal plasma constituents is needed which, when used in conjunction with semen analysis, can provide the physician with both qualitative and quantitative information regarding the fertility status of an individual. High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis is a technique whereby proteins in a complex mixture such as a biological fluid are separated in one dimension by molecular charge and in the second dimension by molecular mass. It has been the purpose of this investigation to adapt and evaluate this technique for the analysis of human seminal plasma. Our efforts have shown that this technique is potentially useful for use as an andrological screening procedure. Distinct protein patterns have been produced containing up to two hundred detectable components with several proteins having been either tentatively or positively identified.

The Relationship Between Body Mass Index with Body Fat Percentage of Participants EXPO 2021 Universitas Teuku Umar

Body mass index (BMI) is to monitor nutritional status adults, especially those related to deficiency and overweight. Body fat percentage can describe the risk of degenerative diseases.This study was conducted to measure the relationship between BMI and body fat percentage. Methods An analytical study was conducted to 41 male and 51 female participant from Universitas Teuku Umar. The body weight was measured using scales, whereas the body height was measured using microtoise. The body fat percentage was measured using Karada Scan. The BMI was calculated by dividing the body weight in kilogram divided by body height in meter square. Data was collected from 16-18th February 2021 and analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test. The results showed BMI underweight, normal, and overweight were 10,9, 57,6, and 31,5. High body fat percentage in men were 75,6% and in women were 35,5%. There is a relationship between the nutritional status of the women group and the body fat percentage with p-value is obtained = 0.021. Furthermore, for men, there is no relationship between nutritional status in the men group and the body fat percentage. There is a relationship between nutritional status and body fat percentage in women. Among this population, BMI can still be used to determine body fat percentage

Nasal Adenocarcinoma in a Taiwan Macaque

Although a variety of neoplasms have been reported in nonhuman primates [ 5 ] , tumors of the nasopharyngeal region are rare. Amelobastic odontomas have been found in the Celebes [2] and Rhesus monkeys [6]; oral soft tissue tumors have been found in the spider monkey [4], and bone neoplasms of the cranial-facial region of Rhesus monkeys [ 3 ] . We report a nasal cavity adenocarcinoma with metastasis t o the lung in a Taiwan monkey, Mucaca cyclopis. The macaque was a 10-year-old male that had been housed with 20-25 healthy monkeys in a primate holding room. The other monkeys were used for trachoma virus studies in Taiwan. The macaque had not been used in any study for 18 months prior to discovery of the tumor. A mass about 3 centimeters in diameter was found in the left nasal cavity causing swelling in the left maxilla. Biopsy of the lesion showed it to be a papillary adenocarcinoma. The tumor continued to grow to about 6 centimeters in diameter and eventually ulcerated through the nasal dermis. The mass was surgically removed and the face reconstructed by plastic surgery. Three months later the mass reappeared and was again removed (fig. 1). Because malignant nasal tumors are common in Asians, virologists at the College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, requested that the disease be allowed to progress for several months in order to attempt virus isolation from the tumor. These studies were unfruitful. Thoracic radiographs showed pulmonary metastasis. After erosion of facial bone had become extensive the animal was killed. The tumor had ulcerated through half the facial dermis and was encroaching upon the bony orbit of the left eye. The protruding tumor was gray-tan and friable. In addition, the tumor had replaced the anterior half of the hard palate including the associated dental arcade. Cutting was easy in this area. All lobes of the lung contained foci of various sized metastatic tumors which were harder t o cut than was the primary focus. There were no metastasis in other organs o r structures. The biopsy (fig. 2) taken about a year before the macaque was killed showed papillary adenocarcinoma of interconnecting fronds and islands of neoplastic cells. Mitotic figures were numerous. The neoplastic foci in the lungs tended to be solitary adenocarcinomatous nodules (fig. 3) with numerous mitotic figures. Special stains showed mucin in some areas. Since the history on this monkey included exposure to the trachoma virus only and since it had not been exposed to any other experimentation, speculation on

Diffusion of Innovations Approach to the Evaluation of Learning Management System Usage in an Open Distance Learning Institution

&lt;p class="2"&gt;Academic institutions such as the University of South Africa (Unisa) are using information and communication technology (ICT) in order to conduct their daily primary operations, which are teaching and learning. Unisa is the only distance learning university in South Africa and also in Africa. Unisa currently has the highest number of students on the continent of Africa. In an attempt to bridge the gap between facilitators and students, Unisa introduced a learning management system known as myUnisa. MyUnisa is used by facilitators and students as a tool to conduct teaching and learning, and for communication. To the best of the researcher’s knowledge, factors that influence its acceptance and usage have not been studied prior to this study. The main deciders of the success of technology are the users, as is reflected in the well-established theories and models that exist to evaluate the acceptance of technology and innovation. The objective of this study was to understand the factors that contribute to the usage of myUnisa by students. An online questionnaire was used for data collection, and a quantitative analysis was conducted. Among others, the results reveal that complexity does not have a significant impact on the students' decision to use myUnisa.&lt;/p&gt;
