Effects of and 13-adrenergic agonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and adenosine on isolated human ( Humans 1 heart muscle v. preparations Animals

The use of isolated human ventricular muscle preparations has provided evidence that the failing human heart exhibits strongly reduced responsiveness to cAMP-increasing positive inotropic agents such as 6-adrenergic agents and phosphodiesterase inhibitors, write Wilhelm Schmitz, Hasso Scholz and Erland Erdmann. This probably explains the therapeutic failure of these agents in end-stage dilative cardiomyopathy and casts doubts on the value of extrapolations from data obtained on healthy laboratory animals. Since ocl-adrenoceptors and adenosine receptors mediating positive and negative inotropic effects, respectively, exist in the human myocardium, it is conceivable that a defect of these receptor systems may also play a role in human heart diseases as has been hypothesized from animal experiments. 447 the ~wadrenoceptor population, the number of ~2-adrenoceptors remaining nearly constant 1. The decrease in ~wadrenoceptor den- sity by approximately 51% cor- related well with the reduction of the maximum positive ino- tropic effect (-- 58%) mediated by the 61-adrenoceptors; the 62- adrenoceptor-mediated positive inotropic effect was nearly un- changed in the failing heart 1. The unchanged responsiveness to ~2- adrenoceptor stimulation supports the contention that the positive inotropic effects of 62-selective drugs may - in addition to their vasodilative properties - con- tribute to their beneficial effects in severe cardiac failure 27. An un- resolved question is whether or not the decreased number of 61-adrenoceptors, and hence the decreased responsiveness to 61-adrenoceptor stimulation, is simply the consequence of in- creased noradrenaline plasma con- centrations during heart failure or whether it constitutes an etio- logical factor. Increasing evidence that conges- tive heart failure in humans is accompanied by a loss of res- ponsiveness to various positive inotropic interventions, has led to investigations into the response to established or prospective positive inotropic therapeutics in isolated human heart muscle preparations. Investigations on isolated cardiac preparations from healthy labora- tory animals may reveal results quite different from those ob- tained on diseased human myo- cardium - and in fact such therapeutically relevant differ- ences have recently been re- ported 1-3. Isolated diseased human heart muscle preparations are useful in evaluating the effect of positive inotropic drugs. Moreover, such experiments may provide new insight into the pathophysiology of heart diseases. This short review considers positive inotropic effects of 6- adrenoceptor agonists, phospho- diesterase (PDE) inhibitors and o~l-

A vegetation map of tropical continental Asia at scale 1:5 million

Abstract. A vegetation map at scale 1:5 million is presented. * It covers Bangladesh, Burma (Myanmar), India, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka and fills a conspicuous gap in the cartography of tropical vegetation, following the publication of vegetation maps of South America, Africa and Malaysia. For conformity, it is presented as one sheet at a scale of 1:5 million. It uses the basic map of the American Geographical Society (1942; bipolar oblique conformal projection) which forms the base for FAO's Soil map of the world. Basic information was obtained from many published maps, unpublished observations and satellite data. The limits of the main vegetation types have been updated with a complete set of Landsat MSS images (369 scenes) with a mosaic of Landsat TM data for 1991 and with recent forest maps from Asia. Nine main vegetation units, which are groups of forest formations, have been identified and mapped, including woodlands, thickets and wooded savannas. Agricultural land has been shown in a uniform pale green colour in order to clearly express the extent of human impacts on woody vegetation. In spite of the necessary oversimplification of the ground data, this map is probably the most explicit expression of the remaining forest stands and of the regression of natural vegetation in the region. It can be considered as a benchmark for future monitoring of tropical vegetation.

Imaging findings of pseudomesothelioma cases resulting from two different primary tumours

Pleural metastases mimic malignant mesothelioma result from rare tumours. The most common tumour that metastase to pleura is primary bronchogenic adenocarcinoma. Other primary lung tumours rarely matastase to pleura. Although lung is the most common site for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastases, pleural effusion and pleural matestases resulting pseudomesothelioma is very rare. Herein we report two cases of pseudomesothelioma resulting from small cell carcinoma and RCC.

An Experimental Study of Dropwise Condensation on Horizontal Condenser Tubes.

Three types of drop promoting coatings were applied to the outside of 15.9 mm (5/8 in) outside-diameter condenser tubes to determine their effect on heat transfer performance. The coatings included a new fluorolepoxy, a commercial series of fluorocarbon coatings, and sputtered TFE. Coating thickness varied from 0.02 to 12.7 microns. Steam at about 21 KPa (3 psia) was condensed on the outside surface of each coated tube. Each test tube was cooled on the inside by water at velocities of 0.80 to 7.60 m/sec (3 to 25 ft/sec). The overall heat transfer coefficient was determined directly from experimental data. The inside and outside heat transfer coefficients were determined by using the Wilson Plot technique. Of the commerical fluorocarbon coatings, the 'Nedox' coating on a copper-nickel tube enhanced the outside heat transfer coefficient by 53% and improved the corrected overall heat transfer coefficient by 27%. Of the sputtered TFE coated tubes, the 0.08-micron thick coating on a copper-nickel tube enhanced the outside heat transfer coefficient by 45% and improved the corrected overall heat transfer coefficient by 21%.

Beyond Ebola Ethics: Do Nurses have a Duty to Treat?

This article explores a significant issue facing nurses. Legal and ethical considerations are explored, looking at the relevant new Rhode Island and California laws, which mandates both a duty to treat and employer responsibilities. The ethical framework of beneficence is discussed. The ANA Code of Ethics is examined and the revisions in 2015 are introduced. Nurses’ rights are outlined, as well as the responsibilities of employers and society. The article ends with additional considerations for nurses and the U.S. It will help nurses to clarify their own beliefs about the current crisis as well as in general regarding the ethics of mandating duty in the face of a pandemic or highly lethal disease.

Constantinople in the Middle Ages

Abstract Identifies an early depiction of the Serpent Column on a silver ink-pot now in Padua. Considers several themes in Medieval Byzantine thought, notably the role of animate statues, the Particular Judgment, snakes and ladders in art and thought, and the Last Judgment. Notes when and why many bronze statues were destroyed, although the Serpent Column was not. Considers the image of the serpent in temptation, and how this may allow us to identify a medieval name for the Serpent Column. Discusses accounts by Russian travelers to Constantinople who describe the hippodrome and Serpent Column in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

Combined Rayleigh and Raman Airborne Temperature Lidar at 355 nm with a Non-Maxwellian Barium Vapor Filter

View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-1069.vid This work describes the development of an airborne lidar approach for temperature profiling which incorporates both filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) and a Raman reference signal. Utilizing a novel excited state barium vapor filter, this system operates with the third harmonic of the Nd:YAG laser, resulting in greater signal return and increased eye-safety when compared with current visible airborne lidars. Experimental spectra of the barium absorption feature motivate the non-Maxwellian filter function examined in this work, which is compared to a thermally broadened filter. To determine the optimal configuration, this work considers both nitrogen vibrational Raman at 386.7 nm and pure rotational Raman signals for FRS referencing. The combined model for a look-down temperature lidar, including descriptions of the barium vapor absorption models, Rayleigh and Raman lidar return signal models, and data inversion are described in detail. When employed for simulated lidar measurements, the non-Maxwellian filter lineshape exhibits slightly decreased sensitivity to temperature when paired with the nitrogen vibrational Raman reference, but increased sensitivity when paired with the stronger, rotational Raman reference. The most sensitive configuration was found to include a rotational Raman reference and non-Maxwellian filter. Simulations with this system predict uncertainties at the ground near 2 K for an integration time of 60 s, height resolution of 100 m, and aircraft flight altitude of 15.4 km.

Supplementary material from "Thermal landscape change as a driver of ectotherm responses to plant invasions"

A growing body of research demonstrates the impacts of invasive alien plants on native animals, but few studies consider thermal effects as a driver of the responses of native organisms. As invasive alien plants establish and alter the composition and arrangement of plant communities, the thermal landscapes available to ectotherms also change. Our study reviews the research undertaken to date on the thermal effects of alien plant invasions on native reptiles, amphibians, insects and arachnids. The 37 studies published between 1970 and early 2019 portray an overall detrimental effect of invasive plants on thermal landscapes, ectothermic individuals' performance and species abundance, diversity and composition. With a case study of a lizard species, we illustrate the use of thermal ecology tools in plant invasion research and test the generality of alien plant effects: changes in thermoregulation behaviour in invaded landscapes varied depending on the level of invasion and lizard traits. Together, the literature review and case study show that thermal effects of alien plants on ectotherms can be substantial albeit context-dependent. Further research should cover multiple combinations of native/invasive plant growth forms, invasion stages and ectotherm traits. More attention is also needed to test causality along the chain of effects from thermal landscapes to individuals, populations and communities.

Mindninja: Concept, Development and Evaluation of a Mind Action Game Based on EEGs

Nowadays, Brain Computer Interface (BCI) are becoming accessible and cheap solutions and can be acquired with nonintrusive top off-the-shelf products. This creates a new paradigm of interaction for games. This work presents a novel architecture and framework that can help the development of games with both BCI and traditional interfaces. As a proof of concept, this paper shows the experience in designing and developing a game prototype using the framework and EEG brainwaves as one of the players input. The game is an action slice game, similar to Fruit Ninja, called MindNinja. This game differ form most BCI game, since it is based on a action game, where the BCI is used as an auxiliary input. This game was tested and evaluated with a group of person, showing promising results in the fun level, as well as increasing the attention level of subjects.

<i>Tabulae Iliacae</i> in the Collection Froehner, Paris

When discussing the Tabulae Iliacae in JHS xcix (1979) 26–48 (hereafter ‘Horsfall’), I followed the usual and unchallenged view in stating that the group includes twenty reliefs and that five bear the signature of the artist Theodorus (26). Both statements prove wrong. Prof. F. Jouan (Paris-Nanterre) most kindly informed me in the summer of 1979 that an unpublished Thèse de Maîtrise by one of his students, Mlle F. Legrand, ( Les Tables Iliaques [1976] [hereafter ‘Legrand’]), contained new material on the Tabulae and made a copy of her work available to me. It was immediately apparent (Legrand 160 ff.) that the Tabula which I shall call 21 Froehner was unpublished and when it became clear that no publication in France was intended, I sought and was freely granted access. Examination of Tabula 20Par., also in the Froehner collection, revealed that its verso carried an hitherto neglected signature by Theodorus. Permission to publish Tabulae 20Par. (verso) and 21Fro. was unhesitatingly granted. It is a great pleasure to place on record the enthusiasm and generosity displayed by Prof. Jouan and by the staff at the Cabinet des Médailles.

INTERVERTEBRAL DISC DEGENERATION LINKED TO STRUCTURAL GENE VARIATIONS

During the recent past focus has shifted from identifying intervertebral disc degeneration as being caused by physical exposure and strain to being linked with a variety of genetic variations. The objective of this review is to provide an up to date review of the existing research data regarding the relation of intervertebral disc degeneration to structural protein genes and their polymorphisms and thus help clearly establish further avenues where research into causation and treatment is needed. A comprehensive search using the keywords “Collagen”, “COL”, “Aggrecan”, “AGC”, “IVDD”, “intervertebral disc degeneration”, and “lumbar disc degeneration” from PubMed and Google Scholar, where literature in the English language was selected spanning from 1991 to 2019. There are many genes involved in the production of structural components of an intervertebral disc. The issues in production of these components involve the over-expression or under-expression of their genes, and single nucleotide polymorphisms and variable number of tandem repeats affecting their structures. These structural genes include primarily the collagen and the aggrecan genes. While genetic and environmental factors all come into play with a disease process like disc degeneration, the bulk of research now shows the significantly larger impact of hereditary over exposure. While further research is needed into some of the lesser studied genes linked to IVDD and also the racial variations in genetic makeup, the focus in the near future should be on establishment of genetic testing to identify individuals at greater risk of disease and deliberation regarding the use of gene therapy to prevent disc degeneration.

Maximum Likelihood Position Location with a Limited Number of References

A Position Location (PL) scheme for mobile users on the outskirts of coverage areas is presented. The proposedmethodology makes it possible to obtain location information with only two land-fixed references. We introduce ageneral formulation and show that maximum-likelihood estimation can provide adequate PL information in thisscenario. The Root Mean Square (RMS) error and error-distribution characterization are obtained for differentpropagation scenarios. In addition, simulation results and comparisons to another method are provided showing theaccuracy and the robustness of the method proposed. We study accuracy limits of the proposed methodology fordifferent propagation environments and show that even in the case of mismatch in the error variances, good PLestimation is feasible.
