Abstract 218: Therapeutic Hypothermia Alone and Combination With Preconditioning Blunt Inflammation in Experimental Hemorrhagic Shock

Background: Recent studies by our group indicate that preconditioning, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and TH combined with preconditioning improved long-term survival during resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of inflammation associated with increased mortality in patients with severe hemorrhage shock. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of these three therapies on NLR level in rats with acute hemorrhagic shock. Methods and Results: In the preconditioning study, Sprague Dawley rats (both genders) were randomized to preconditioning (n=26) or control group (n=27); in the hypothermia study, rats were randomized to TH (n=16) or control group (n=15); in a combination study, rats were randomized to TH plus preconditioning (n=11) or control group (n=10). Rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal Ketamine and xylazine. After heparinizing, hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood to a fixed mean blood pressure (MBP) of 30 mmHg for 30 minutes and then shed blood was reinfused. Preconditioning was induced by 4 cycles of inflating small cuffs around the femoral arteries to 200 mmHg for 5 minutes, followed by 5-minute deflation of the cuffs prior to hemorrhagic shock. TH started at 5 minutes after MBP reached 30 mmHg. Core temperature was maintained at ~32 °C until blood volume was fully restored. In the control group, body temperature was maintained at ~ 37°C. Arterial blood samples were collected 1 hour after resuscitation. The NLR is an easily accessible biomarker, which is calculated by dividing the absolute neutrophil count by the absolute lymphocyte count. The NLR was significantly lower in TH group (0.20 ± 0.02) compared with the control group (0.32 ± 0.03; p=0.003). Similarly, the NLR level was significantly decreased in TH plus preconditioning group (0.19 ± 0.02) versus the control group (0.33 ± 0.02; p= 0.001). There was no difference in NLR level between the preconditioning group (0.41 ± 0.04) and the control group (0.41 ± 0.04; p=0.984). Conclusions: NLR is widely recognized inflammation marker associated with poor prognosis in severe hemorrhagic shock. TH alone and TH combined with preconditioning blunt the inflammation by decreasing the NLR level in experimental hemorrhagic shock.

Book review: reconstructing conservatism?: the Conservative Party in opposition, 1997-2010

Reconstructing Conservatism gives a contextualized assessment of Conservative Party politics between 1997 and 2010, considering four particular dilemmas for contemporary Conservatism: European integration; national identity and the ‘English Question’; social liberalism versus social authoritarianism; and the problems posed by a neo-liberal political economy. Pete Dorey finds the author skilfully and lucidly examines key intra-Party debates effectively arguing that ‘Cameronism’ is in fact, neo-Thatcherism.

Preliminary evidence for differential effects of integral and incidental emotions on risk perception and behavioral intentions: A meta‐analysis of eight experiments

Abstract Judgment and decision‐making research often examines effects of emotion unrelated (i.e., incidental) to the decision when research questions center on emotion related (i.e., integral) to the decision, with a theory‐based assumption that the two types of emotion have equivalent influence. Experimentally targeting incidental emotion can overcome practical and ethical challenges that preclude manipulating integral emotion, particularly in medical contexts; however, the validity of the assumption that integral and incidental emotions have interchangeable influences on judgments and decisions, such as risk perceptions and behavioral intentions, has not been systematically examined. In a pre‐registered meta‐analysis of eight experiments ( n = 5,336), we examined whether incidental fear and anger influenced risk perceptions and intentions similarly to integral fear and anger. To ensure the quality and intensity of the emotional experience remained constant across conditions, we rendered emotion integral or incidental to the threat by varying the type of outcomes assessed (matched or unmatched to the emotion induction). Results provide preliminary evidence that integral and incidental influences can differ. Most notably, incidental anger decreased risk perceptions, whereas integral anger increased them. Moreover, even when the direction of the effect of integral and incidental emotions was similar, the magnitude of the integral effect was larger. These findings suggest that the common practice of manipulating incidental emotions and generalizing findings to integral emotions may not be advisable, and as such, future work is needed to identify the specific features of the incidental and integral emotional experience that contribute to similarities and differences in their influence.

Ordinal Regression using Noisy Pairwise Comparisons for Body Mass Index\n Range Estimation

Ordinal regression aims to classify instances into ordinal categories. In\nthis paper, body mass index (BMI) category estimation from facial images is\ncast as an ordinal regression problem. In particular, noisy binary search\nalgorithms based on pairwise comparisons are employed to exploit the ordinal\nrelationship among BMI categories. Comparisons are performed with Siamese\narchitectures, one of which uses the Bradley-Terry model probabilities as\ntarget. The Bradley-Terry model is an approach to describe probabilities of the\npossible outcomes when elements of a set are repeatedly compared with one\nanother in pairs. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms\nclassification and regression-based methods at estimating BMI categories.\n

Identification of Tigers for Census by the Method of Tiger Iris Pattern Matching and Recognition

The Iris pattern of any animal (including human being) is statistically unique and suitable for biometric measurements.The identity of the animal concerned can be determined and verified comparing the templates obtained with the present algorithm with that template stored in database which was formed on the basis of previous studies.In the present study, the method of circular Hough transform is used for segmentation of the tiger Iris and subsequently Daugman's rubber Sheet model is used for normalization of the segmented values.Pattern matching is achieved by calculating Hamming Distance where its degree is proportional to the closeness of matching.The closer matching between the stored and calculated pattern is found to lead towards better recognition of Irises and thereby the animal itself.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention under Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for High-Risk Acute Myocardial Infarction with Cardiogenic Shock

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock is an uncommon, but fatal condition. It should be treated by early revascularization, including medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been shown to lower the mortality rate associated with emergency PCI or CABG procedures in patients with unstable hemodynamics. We present a patient with coronary artery disease (CAD) consisting of triple vessel disease (TVD), a significant left main (LM) artery lesion, AMI and cardiogenic shock, who underwent PCI under ECMO support. There were no short-term or middle-term complications related to the PCI procedure; however, ECMO implantation led to a superficial wound infection. The patient was alive and well at six-month follow-up. We also review the literature regarding PCI under ECMO support for AMI complicated with cardiogenic shock patients.

What Kind of Stress Is Associated with Depression, Anxiety and Suicidal Ideation in Korean Employees?

Various types of stress affect mental health in the form of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and suicidal ideation. Recently, the increasing suicide rate in the working-age population has become a major mental health concern in Korea. Thus, we investigated what kind of stress influence depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in Korean employees. The study participants were 189,965 employees who attended health screenings and responded to the Center for Epidemiologic Study-Depression Scale, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and a questionnaire on the major causes of stress and suicidal ideation. We investigated the major causes of stress by gender and age categories and used binary logistic regression to determine the impact of the causes of stress on depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. Of several stress causes, work-related stress was the most prevalent, regardless of age category and gender, followed by interpersonal relationships. However, interpersonal relationships and financial problems were the predominant causes of stress related to depression or suicidal ideation. This research suggests that despite the fact that work is the most common cause of stress for Korean employees, stress related to life problems other than work has a greater influence on the mental health of Korean employees.

Blind OFDM Channel Estimation Through Simple Linear Precoding

A novel approach of blind channel estimation for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. A linear transformation is applied on each block before it enters the OFDM system. The transform imposes a correlation structure on the transmitted blocks, which is exploited at the receiver to recover the channel via simple cross-correlation operations. The proposed approach is computationally simple and converges fast, which makes it a good candidate for estimation of fast-varying channels. Its performance is tested analytically, through a mean-square error analysis, and also via simulations. Results show that it compares favorably to the training-based scheme used in the IEEE 802.11a wireless standard.

THE EFFECT OF THREE DIFFERENT AMALGAM SURFACE TREATMENT METHODS ON COMPOSITE- AMALGAM FRACTURE STRENGTH

Introduction:
Following increasing people’s demand for having aesthetic, functional and simultaneous benefits of composite and
amalgam restorations, combined restoration of composite-amalgam has been introduced. The aim of this study was
to evaluate the effect of there methods of surface treatment on composite-amalgam fracture strength.
Materials & Methods:
In this experimental invitro study, on thirty uniform and sound human maxillary premolar teeth mesiobuccal class II
cavities were prepared so that in all specimens the thickness of buccal reminder enamel was one millimeter. They
were divided randomly into three groups of ten and filled with amalgam. After 24h in each tooth, thin mesiobuccal
enamel was removed and amalgam surface were veneered with Tetric Ceram composite by one of the three
following methods. In A and B groups after etching with phosphoric acid, Scotchbond Multi-purpose and One Coat
Bond were applied respectively. In group C after sandblasting and acid etching, margin bond unfilled resin was
applied for adhesion of composite to amalgam. Finally for fracture strength measurement, the specimens were
loaded under Instron testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1mm/min with 450
 angle. Fracture areas were also
considered from stand point of CEJ location and type of debonding (adhesive – cohesive – mixed). Data were
analyzed with One Way ANOVA and Duncan tests.
Results:
Mean fracture strengths in three methods were significantly different (P=0.02). Group C had the highest and group
B had the lowest fracture strength. In all three groups, the most common type of debonding was adhesive and above
to the CEJ.
Conclusion:
The highest mean value of fracture strength was obtained in group with amalgam sandblasting followed by
application of unfilled resin which did not differ significantly with Scotchbond Multi-purpose group. However it
differed significantly with One Coat Bond group.
Key words:
amalgam veneering, fracture strength, adhesive system, sandblasting.

Translating Text World-Specific Elements: Paolo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl

This MA thesis discusses translation difficulties found in Paolo Bacigalupi’s science fiction novel The Windup Girl, in particular those which are caused by its nova. From a translation-oriented point of view, the investigation focusses on the novel’s text world-specific elements (TWSEs). Through a discussion of the possible and desirable ways of translating these elements, a translation strategy is proposed. As a test-case, two passages from the novel are translated into Dutch using this strategy. The conclusion reflects on the desirability of the proposed translation strategy and suggests further research.

Structured Data Entry of Clinical Information for Documentation and Data Collection

Routine databases containing large amounts of clinical data represent a tremendous opportunity for the evaluation of health care practices and outcomes. However, data collected for administrative purposes has limitations in content, accuracy and completeness. Routine entry of clinical information directly into clinical information systems by care providers is one strategy to address this problem. We developed a structured data entry method, the Clinical Data Framework (CDF), which has been used to support the capture of clinical information by clinicians in the normal process of care delivery. A study of the CDF over a two month period showed that it improved the accuracy of completeness of data collection over a coding method which was based on selection of ICD-9-CM codes.

Bu çalışmada, suça ilişkin perspektifler ve suçun haber söyleminde inşave temsili tartışmaları ele alınmaktadır. Fiziksel özelliklere, biyolojikkalıtıma ve zihinsel hastalıklara odaklanan bireysel patoloji düşüncesinintayin edici olduğu 19. yüzyıldaki suç tartışması ilk kez 20. yüzyıl başlarında sosyolojialanında temayüz etti. Suç tartışmasındaki bu evrim, 1970’li yıllara kadar akademidekriminolojik görüş üretmenin çerçevesini belirleyecekti. Sosyolojik birperspektif oluşturmaktan ziyade pozitivist tahayyülün sınırları dahilinde kalantartışmalar, birey üzerinden suçun nedenlerini keşfetmeye odaklandı. Buparadigma, 1960’lı yıllardan itibaren irdelendi ve 1970’lerle birlikte sosyo-ekonomiksistemsel eleştiri ile sosyolojik çözümleme ve önermeler ortaya çıktı. Esasolarak ‘egemen ideoloji’ tezine dayanan eleştirel medya çalışmalarıyla kesişen tartışmalarda,suçun toplumsal inşa süreçleri ve temsil biçimleri inceleme konusu edilmektedir.

The late course of acute partial anterior cruciate ligament tears. A nine to 15-year follow-up evaluation.

Twenty-two patients had an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Nineteen patients were treated conservatively, except for associated injuries. In three patients, a reinsertion of the torn portion of the ACL was done surgically. All patients were reexamined after nine to 15 years with special emphasis on stability testing; this was done manually and with instruments. Knee function score and activity level were also measured. Standing roentgenograms with the knee in slight flexion were taken as well. At follow-up examination, none of the patients had needed ACL reconstruction. Knee function was good, with a mean Lysholm score of 93 points. Patients had changed activities from recreational team sports to light individual sports. Manual laxity values were similar to the values obtained at the time of initial injury. A 1-mm sagittal laxity increase was found on the injured knee with the Stryker laxity tester. Slight signs for osteoarthrosis were found in more than half of the knees, mainly in cases with chondral fractures or meniscectomy. In general, conservative treatment had a good long-term prognosis.
