Evidence based clinical practice update: practice guidelines for anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation based on a systematic review and multidisciplinary consensus
Venue: British Journal of Sports Medicine

The Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF) instructed a multidisciplinary group of Dutch anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) experts to develop an evidence statement for rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction.  Clinical practice guideline underpinned by systematic review and expert consensus.  A multidisciplinary working group and steering group systematically reviewed the literature and wrote the guideline. MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library were searched for meta analyses, systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort studies published between January 1990 and June 2015.  Included literature must have addressed 1 of 9 predetermined clinical topics: (1) preoperative predictors for postoperative outcome, (2) effectiveness of physical therapy, (3) open and closed kinetic chain quadriceps exercises, (4) strength and neuromuscular training, (5) electrostimulation and electromyographic feedback, (6) cryotherapy, (7) measurements of functional performance, (8) return to play and (9) risk for reinjury.  Ninety studies were included as the basis for the evidence statement. Rehabilitation after ACL injury should include a prehabilitation phase and 3 criterion based postoperative phases: (1) impairment based, (2) sport specific training and (3) return to play. A battery of strength and hop tests, quality of movement and psychological tests should be used to guide progression from one rehabilitation stage to the next. Postoperative rehabilitation should continue for 9 12 months. To assess readiness to return to play and the risk for reinjury, a test battery, including strength tests, hop tests and measurement of movement quality, should be used.
Catalog of Ultra diffuse Galaxies in the Coma Clusters from Subaru Imaging Data

We present a catalog of ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Coma cluster. UDGs are a subset of low surface brightness (SB) galaxies with very large effective radii defined by van Dokkum et al. We surveyed the Subaru data archive for deep Suprime Cam/Subaru R band images, and used data covering the 1o.7 x 2o.7 region of the Coma cluster. The data are ~1 magnitude deeper than the data of van Dokkum et al (2015a) in limiting SB. This paper explains the details of our sample selection procedure. This UDG catalog includes positions, magnitudes, effective radii, mean and central SBs, and colors (when available) Comparisons with previous galaxy catalogs in the literature are performed, and we show that the current catalog is the largest for UDGs. We also discuss that most of the UDGs are members of the Coma cluster, and the major axis of the UDGs tends to align toward the cluster center (radial alignment)
Integrated reporting, non financial information and Financial Performance

The focus of annual financial reporting is still what information to include in order to satisfy the stakeholders as well as investors. As time passes the stakeholders demand more than just financial information. Some corporations already include non financial information in a standalone sustainabilityor Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR) The new reporting system which represents all information, financial and non financial, combined into one single report, is called an Integrated Report (IR) It can help companies to explain their value creation more effectively to the stakeholders and capital markets. As the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines envision that economic, environmental and social performance shall be as widely accepted and standardized as financial reporting (Larsson and Ljungdahl, 2008, p.63) It is crucial to know and understand, especially for those who are interested in adopting the IR, what the effect of the non financial part will be on the financial performance (FP) Therefore, this study was focused upon whether the publishing of an IR has any effect on the Financial Performance (FP) and if there is any influence of the Environmental, Social Performance (ESP) the so called non financial information (NFI) on the FP. The empirical results show that the publishing of the Integrated Annual Report (IAR) and the Environmental and Social Performance (ESP) is also negatively related with the Financial Performance (FP) in the accounting based model. The same results were found when using the market based model.
Genome wide association study identifies five new susceptibility loci for primary angle closure glaucoma
Venue: Nature Genetics

Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is a major cause of blindness worldwide. We conducted a genome wide association study (GWAS) followed by replication in a combined total of 10,503 PACG cases and 29,567 controls drawn from 24 countries across Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. We observed significant evidence of disease association at five new genetic loci upon meta analysis of all patient collections. These loci are at EPDR1 rs3816415 (odds ratio (OR) 1.24, P 5.94 x 10 15) CHAT rs1258267 (OR 1.22, P 2.85 x 10 16) GLIS3 rs736893 (OR 1.18, P 1.43 x 10 14) FERMT2 rs7494379 (OR 1.14, P 3.43 x 10 11) and DPM2 FAM102A rs3739821 (OR 1.15, P 8.32 x 10 12) We also confirmed significant association at three previously described loci (P 5 x 10 8 for each sentinel SNP at PLEKHA7, COL11A1, and PCMTD1 ST18) providing new insights into the biology of PACG.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) related symptoms/sequelae, and breast cancer risk in a population based case control study
Venue: Cancer Causes Control

PurposeDespite the overlap between the clinical symptoms/sequelae of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and many known reproductive risk factors for breast cancer, the relationship between PCOS and breast cancer remains unclear, possibly because of the complex heterogeneity and challenges in diagnosing PCOS over time. We hypothesized that PCOS, specific PCOS related symptoms/sequelae, or clusters of PCOS related symptoms/sequelae may be differentially associated with pre versus postmenopausal breast cancer risk.Materials and methodsCases were 1,508 women newly diagnosed with a first primary in situ or invasive breast, and the 1,556 population based controls were frequency matched by age.ResultsHistory of physician diagnosed PCOS was reported by 2.2 (n 67) among whom oral contraceptive (OC) use, irregular menstruation, and infertility due to ovulatory dysfunction were common. Using unconditional logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios (95 CI) for PCOS were increased for premenopausal [2.74 (1.13, 6.63) but not postmenopausal breast cancer [0.87 (0.44, 1.71) We used cluster analysis to investigate whether risk among all women varied by PCOS related symptoms/sequelae, such as reproductive irregularities, OC use, and components of insulin resistance. In the cluster analysis, odds ratios were elevated among premenopausal women who had a history of OC use and no ovulatory dysfunction [1.39 (1.03, 1.88) compared to those with fewer number of PCOS related symptoms/sequelae.ConclusionPCOS and associated PCOS related symptoms/sequelae including OC use may play a role in the development of premenopausal breast cancer. Our findings require confirmation in studies with a larger number of premenopausal women with systematically applied diagnostic criteria for PCOS.
Probabilistic Kernel Collaborative Representation for Spatial Spectral Hyperspectral Image Classification
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing

This paper presents a new approach for accurate spatial spectral classification of hyperspectral images, which consists of three main steps. First, a pixelwise classifier, i.e. the probabilistic kernel collaborative representation classification (PKCRC) is proposed to obtain a set of classification probability maps using the spectral information contained in the original data. This is achieved by means of a kernel extension based on collaborative representation (CR) classification. Then, an adaptive weighted graph (AWG) based postprocessing model is utilized to include the spatial information by refining the obtained pixelwise probability maps. Furthermore, to deal with scenarios dominated by limited training samples, we modify the postprocessing model by fixing the probabilistic outputs of training samples to integrate the spatial and label information. The proposed approach is able to cover different analysis scenarios by means of a fully adaptive processing chain (based on three steps) for hyperspectral image classification. All the techniques that integrate the proposed approach have a closed form analytic solution and are easy to be implemented and calculated, exhibiting potential benefits for hyperspectral image classification under different conditions. Specifically, the proposed method is experimentally evaluated using two real hyperspectral imagery data sets, exhibiting good classification performance even when the number of training samples available a priori is very limited.
Mind the Gap: Sex Bias in Basic Skin Research.
Venue: The Journal of investigative dermatology

Given the recent National Institutes of Health proposal for balanced use of male and female cells and animals in preclinical studies, we explored whether sex bias exists in skin research. We surveyed 802 dermatological research articles from 2012 through 2013. No information about the sex of studied cells or animals was provided in 60% of papers. Among keratinocytes of known sex, 70% were male. Few studies compared male versus female cells or animals. Disclosure of sex and comparative studies contribute to our understanding of the biologic basis of sex differences. Addressing sex specific differences in preclinical research informs subsequent clinical trial design and promotes individualized therapy.
Psychodermatology: mind the skin

Skin and nervous system arise from a common embryological origin: the embryonic ectoderm. This may be the reason by which the skin gives an account of our mental and emotional state through infections and injuries. This is illustrated by the fact that up to 33% of dermatologic patients have concurrent psychiatric disorders or dysfunctional psychosocial aspects. The importance of skin in the psychic function is rooted in it being an organ of communication and expression of emotions, role assumed from the first moments of life of the individual. The skin is the organ of "attachment" because the initial physical experiences in the newborn are mainly touch. These early (and first) experiences of interaction with the mother (or surrogate) established through the skin, are essential to achieve the proper organic and psychoemotional development of the individual. Since the skin is the most accessible part of the human body, it is not uncommon for many people to express through the skin, aggressive, anxious or self destructive nature impulses, thereby causing dermatological symptoms. On the other hand, people with dermatological diseases involving self image (severe acne, psoriasis) may feel depressed, embarrassed or anxious as a result of their illness
ExploreKit: Automatic Feature Generation and Selection
Venue: 2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM)

Feature generation is one of the challenging aspects of machine learning. We present ExploreKit, a framework for automated feature generation. ExploreKit generates a large set of candidate features by combining information in the original features, with the aim of maximizing predictive performance according to user selected criteria. To overcome the exponential growth of the feature space, ExploreKit uses a novel machine learning based feature selection approach to predict the usefulness of new candidate features. This approach enables efficient identification of the new features and produces superior results compared to existing feature selection solutions. We demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach by conducting an extensive evaluation on 25 datasets and 3 different classification algorithms. We show that ExploreKit can achieve classification error reduction of 20% overall. Our codeis available at https:/github.com/giladkatz/ExploreKit.
Aspect identification and ratings inference for hotel reviews
Venue: World Wide Web

Today, a large volume of hotel reviews is available on many websites, such as TripAdvisor (http:/www.tripadvisor.com) and Orbitz (http:/www.orbitz.com) A typical review contains an overall rating, several aspect ratings, and review text. The rating is an abstract of review in terms of numerical points. The task of aspect based opinion summarization is to extract aspect specific opinions hidden in the reviews which do not have aspect ratings, so that users can quickly digest them without actually reading through them. The task consists of aspect identification and aspect rating inference. Most existing studies cannot utilize aspect ratings which become increasingly abundant on review hosts. In this paper, we propose two topic models which explicitly model aspect ratings as observed variables to improve the performance of aspect rating inference on unrated reviews. The experiment results show that our approaches outperform the existing methods on the data set crawled from TripAdvisor website.
Association of Religious Service Attendance With Mortality Among Women.
Venue: JAMA internal medicine

Studies on the association between attendance at religious services and mortality often have been limited by inadequate methods for reverse causation, inability to assess effects over time, and limited information on mediators and cause specific mortality.  To evaluate associations between attendance at religious services and subsequent mortality in women.  Attendance at religious services was assessed from the first questionnaire in 1992 through June 2012, by a self reported question asked of 74 534 women in the Nurses' Health Study who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Data analysis was conducted from return of the 1996 questionnaire through June 2012.  Cox proportional hazards regression model and marginal structural models with time varying covariates were used to examine the association of attendance at religious services with all cause and cause specific mortality. We adjusted for a wide range of demographic covariates, lifestyle factors, and medical history measured repeatedly during the follow up, and performed sensitivity analyses to examine the influence of potential unmeasured and residual confounding.  Among the 74 534 women participants, there were 13 537 deaths, including 2721 owing to cardiovascular deaths and 4479 owing to cancer deaths. After multivariable adjustment for major lifestyle factors, risk factors, and attendance at religious services in 1992, attending a religious service more than once per week was associated with 33% lower all cause mortality compared with women who had never attended religious services (hazard ratio, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.62 0.71; P .001 for trend) Comparing women who attended religious services more than once per week with those who never attend, the hazard ratio for cardiovascular mortality was 0.73 (95% CI, 0.62 0.85; P .001 for trend) and for cancer mortality was 0.79 (95% CI, 0.70 0.89; P .001 for trend) Results were robust in sensitivity analysis. Depressive symptoms, smoking, social support, and optimism were potentially important mediators, although the overall proportion of the association between attendance at religious services and mortality was moderate (eg, social support explained 23% of the effect [P .003] depressive symptoms explained 11% [P .001] smoking explained 22% [P .001] and optimism explained 9% [P .001]  Frequent attendance at religious services was associated with significantly lower risk of all cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality among women. Religion and spirituality may be an underappreciated resource that physicians could explore with their patients, as appropriate.
Religious Priming
Venue: Personality and social psychology review an official journal of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc

Priming has emerged as a valuable tool within the psychological study of religion, allowing for tests of religion's causal effect on a number of psychological outcomes, such as prosocial behavior. As the literature has grown, questions about the reliability and boundary conditions of religious priming have arisen. We use a combination of traditional effect size analyses, p curve analyses, and adjustments for publication bias to evaluate the robustness of four types of religious priming (Analyses 1 3) review the empirical evidence for religion's effect specifically on prosocial behavior (Analyses 4 5) and test whether religious priming effects generalize to individuals who report little or no religiosity (Analyses 6 7) Results across 93 studies and 11,653 participants show that religious priming has robust effects across a variety of outcome measures prosocial measures included. Religious priming does not, however, reliably affect non religious participants suggesting that priming depends on the cognitive activation of culturally transmitted religious beliefs.
Management Practices for the Development of Religious Tourism Sacred Sites: Managing expectations through sacred and secular aims in site development; report, store and access

Volume 4(vii) 2016 Through a distillation of practices reflective of the extant literature and socio economic approaches to inclusive development of sites of religious experiences and worship, we posit that there are seven core conceptual approaches to support evolving site management needs. Therefore, developing sites of special significance necessarily requires the dissemination and sharing of both intellectual and practical contributions to meet those needs in a planned and stakeholder driven approach. Traditional approaches to development emerged half a century ago with a focus on core competencies and the agreed understanding that open and fair competition would raise quality and assure reasonable profit margins. Creating awareness of services and products and mapping those to our marketing practices are the first two tools in the toolkit. Analysis and synthesis through primary research enables cleric and manager to grasp visitors' and worshippers' needs and develop audiences for sites. Fourthly we present the importance of maintenance and plans for developing sites to accommodate factors in both internal and external environments that acknowledge the requirement to remain competitive. Next, the importance of networks, grappling with the wider community and perhaps establishing a wider, even global, reach, is appraised as important. In seeking to tap into resources traditionally not employed in managing religious and pilgrimage sites we elevate the need for an enterprise culture (this enterprise culture is seen in the other papers in this special issue) The final offer includes dimensions of volunteering, non traditional support networks, altruism and philanthropy which we name as 'the third way'
Swarm Distribution and Deployment for Cooperative Surveillance by Micro Aerial Vehicles
Venue: J. Intell. Robotic Syst.

The task of cooperative surveillance of pre selected Areas of Interest (AoI) in outdoor environments by groups of closely cooperating Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) is tackled in this paper. In the cooperative surveillance mission, finding distributions of the MAVs in the environment to properly cover the AoIs and finding feasible trajectories to reach the obtained surveillance locations from the initial depot are crucial tasks that have to be fulfilled. In addition, motion constraints of the employed MAVs, environment constraints (e.g. non fly zones) and constraints imposed by localization of members of the groups need to be satisfied in the planning process. We formulate the task of cooperative surveillance as a single high dimensional optimization problem to be able to integrate all these requirements. Due to numerous constraints that have to be satisfied, we propose to solve the problem using an evolutionary based optimization technique. An important aspect of the proposed method is that the cooperating MAVs are localized relatively to each other, rather than using a global localization system. This increases robustness of the system and its deploy ability in scenarios, in which compact shapes of the MAV group with short relative distances are required.
Adverse childhood experiences and their association with health harming behaviours and mental wellbeing in the Welsh adult population: a national cross sectional survey
Venue: The Lancet

Globally, an increasing body of evidence has identified the detrimental effects that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have on health across the life course. ACEs include suffering maltreatment in childhood and growing up in dysfunctional family environments. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of ACEs and their association with adult health in Wales, to inform prevention and early intervention in policy and practice.  A face to face cross sectional survey of adults (aged 16 69 years) was undertaken in Wales in 2015. A sample size of 2028 individuals (50*2% women) was achieved by use of stratified sampling methods (49*1% compliance rate) Respondents were asked a validated ACE questionnaire and questions about current health related behaviours with computer assisted personal interviewing. Although self reporting bias is a limitation of this approach, it replicates ACE methodology undertaken internationally. Prevalence of ACEs was calculated, and adjusted to Welsh population estimates. Adjusted odds ratios for risks of health related outcomes associated with ACEs were calculated, controlling for sex, age, deprivation, and ethnicity. Modelling estimated the reduction in prevalence of poor health related outcomes that could be seen if ACEs had not been present.  For every 100 adults in Wales, 47 had at least one ACE during their childhood and 14 experienced four or more. After correcting for sociodemographics, ACE counts predicted health harming behaviours (four or more ACEs vs none) eg, violence victimisation (adjusted odds ratio 14*2, 95% CI 9*1 22*1; p  Prevention of ACEs and support for those exposed to ACEs to develop resilience is essential to improving the health of adults in future generations. Our analyses measured associations rather than causation and there might be unmeasured confounders not accounted for. Nonetheless, results from this study can be used to highlight the prevalence of ACEs in Wales and their association with health in later life. Policies such as the Well Being and Future Generations Act (Wales) 2015 provide the legitimacy for collective targeted activity towards the primary prevention of ACEs.
