Abstract:
BackgroundIn the UK, the cancer antigen 125 (CA125) test is recommended as a first-line investigation in women with symptoms of possible ovarian cancer.AimTo compare time between initial primary care CA125 test and diagnosis, tumour morphology, and stage in women with normal (<35 U/ml) and abnormal (≥35 U/ml) CA125 levels prior to ovarian cancer diagnosis.Design and settingRetrospective cohort study using English primary care and cancer registry data.MethodAssociations between CA125 test results and test-to-diagnosis interval, stage, and ovarian cancer morphology were examined.ResultsIn total, 456 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the 12 months after having a CA125 test. Of these, 351 (77%) had an abnormal, and 105 (23%) had a normal, CA125 test result. The median test-to-diagnosis interval was 35 days (interquartile range [IQR] 21–53) for those with abnormal CA125 levels, and 64 days (IQR 42–127) for normal CA125 levels. Tumour morphology differed by CA125 result: indolent borderline tumours were less common in those with abnormal CA125 levels (n = 47, 13%) than those with normal CA125 levels (n = 51, 49%) (P<0.001). Staging data were available for 304 women with abnormal, and 77 with normal, CA125 levels. Of those with abnormal CA125 levels, 35% (n = 106) were diagnosed at an early stage, compared to 86% (n = 66) of women with normal levels. The odds of being diagnosed with early-stage disease were higher in women with normal as opposed to abnormal CA125 levels (odds ratio 12.2, 95% confidence interval = 5.8 to 25.1, P<0.001).ConclusionDespite longer intervals between testing and diagnosis, women with normal, compared with abnormal, CA125 levels more frequently had indolent tumours and were more commonly diagnosed at an early stage in the course of the disease. Although testing approaches that have greater sensitivity might expedite diagnosis for some women, it is not known if this would translate to earlier-stage diagnosis.

Abstract:
Head size naturally differs between female and male infants, and it is age-dependent. The skull is filled with the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and vascular structures. The shape and size of the head is determined by the above components, as well as skull thickness, rate of the fusion of the cranial sutures, and the development of the frontal sinuses. This article aims to outline a best practice assessment of head circumference and discuss abnormalities that could be seen in general practice.

Abstract:
A survey of congenital malformations in dog and cat relating to their abnormal embryonic twinning was carried out. According to the degree, sites and angle of fusion, they have various external variation and are classified as free asymmetric, conjoined symmetric or asymmetric twins and unequal conjoined twins (heteropagus or parasitic twins). This manuscript aims to describe and summarize these defects. Among the recorded duplications in dog, a number of common defects relates to cephalothoracopagus phenotype whereas some cases of caudal duplication or parasitic twins have been surveyed. Among the recorded publications in cat, a number of craniofacial duplications have been encountered, whereas, some cases of thoracopagus phenotype have also been described. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this condition, reported in veterinary practice, are discussed. The importance in clinical practice lies in the fact that abnormal embryonic twinning is commonly associated with dystocia. Treatment of the diseased animals is also of veterinary practice consideration. The manuscript finally introduces a framework of an essential national registry for the malformed companion animals.

Abstract:
BackgroundUnderstanding pre-diagnostic test use could reveal diagnostic windows where more timely evaluation for cancer may be indicated.AimTo examine pre-diagnostic patterns of results of abnormal blood tests in patients with bladder and renal cancer.Design and settingA retrospective cohort study using primary care and cancer registry data on patients with bladder and renal cancer who were diagnosed between April 2012 and December 2015 in England.MethodThe rates of patients with a first abnormal result in the year before cancer diagnosis, for ‘generic’ (full blood count components, inflammatory markers, and calcium) and ‘organ-specific’ blood tests (creatinine and liver function test components) that may lead to subsequent detection of incidental cancers, were examined. Poisson regression was used to detect the month during which the cohort’s rate of each abnormal test started to increase from baseline. The proportion of patients with a test found in the first half of the diagnostic window was examined, as these ‘early’ tests might represent opportunities where further evaluation could be initiated.ResultsData from 4533 patients with bladder and renal cancer were analysed. The monthly rate of patients with a first abnormal test increased towards the time of cancer diagnosis. Abnormalities of both generic (for example, high inflammatory markers) and organ-specific tests (for example, high creatinine) started to increase from 6–8 months pre-diagnosis, with 25%–40% of these patients having an abnormal test in the ‘early half’ of the diagnostic window.ConclusionPopulation-level signals of bladder and renal cancer can be observed in abnormalities in commonly performed primary care blood tests up to 8 months before diagnosis, indicating the potential for earlier diagnosis in some patients.

Abstract:
Ce travail porte sur les pratiques computationnelles des enseignants congolais du primaire bénéficiaires d’une initiation à l’outil et aux services informatiques dans le cadre de l’initiative francophone pour la formation à distance des maîtres (IFADEM, en sigle). Il propose un discours qui s’éloigne de tout a priori de conformité et de non conformité aux normes d’usage prescrites par le corps des formateurs aux technologies de l’information et de la communication pour l’éducation (TICE). Ce propos doctoral a pour but de comprendre les mécanismes “retournés”, autant singuliers qu’individuels, autant inédits qu’instables, par lesquels chaque praticien ré-invente l’utilisation des TICE (pratiques d’usage computationnel anormes). Quels sont les facteurs représentationnels, contextuels, pédagogiques et translittératiques par lesquels certains de ces utilisateurs agissent en praticiens-refusants ? Pour répondre à cette problématique, nous avons effectué une analyse de type microsociologique. Notre méthodologie s’appuie sur un dispositif de recherche-action-formation à travers lequel des techniques à la fois qualitatives (entretiens et screen tracking) et quantitatives (traitement statistique issu de questionnaires) ont été utilisées. Contrairement à nos hypothèses de départ, les conclusions auxquelles nous avons abouties sont plutôt surprenantes
This research work examines the computational practices of Congolese primary school teachers who have been introduced to computer tools and services as part of the Francophone initiative for distance teacher training (IFADEM, in French). It proposes a discourse that distances itself from any a priori conformity or non-conformity to the norms of use prescribed by the body of trainers in information and communication technologies for education (ICTE). The aim of this doctoral project is to understand the "reversed" mechanisms - as singular as they are individual, as novel as they are unstable - by which each practitioner reinvents the use of ICTE (abnormal computational usage practices). What are the representational, contextual, pedagogical and transliterative factors by which some of these users act as practitioner-refusers? To answer this question, we carried out a microsociological analysis. Our methodology is based on a research-action-training approach, using both qualitative (interviews and screen tracking) and quantitative (statistical processing of questionnaires) techniques. Contrary to our initial hypotheses, the conclusions we reached are rather surprising

Abstract:
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior
Objectives: characterize eating habits and possible risk factors associated with Eating Disorders, amongst female adolescents in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil. Methodology: transversal study, with 652 women between 14 and 20 years of age, students of the second year of Middle-level education. The Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (BITE), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) were used. Results: 73.6% of the subjects are out of risk for development of an Eating Disorder, 25.2% are at risk and in 1.2% a strong possibility of eating disorder in course was found. The proportion of adolescents who showed risky habits was greater in private schools (p<0.05). According to the EAT-26, 9% of the sample showed a score (>=21) which characterizes them as being at risk and practicing pathological eating habits. The BSQ indicated that 36.2% of the adolescents showed concern with their body image (BI); of these, 61% (n=236) were concerned to a degree considered mild, 26.3% showed a moderate concern and 12.7% showed serious concern with BI. Students at public and private schools demonstrated a similar desire to be thin, but adolescents from private schools more frequently used inappropriate practices in order to reach that wish. Conclusion: Adolescents who demonstrate eating disorders in their clinical form, are a rare phenomenon in public and private schools in Fortaleza, whilst the symptoms of eating disorder, either isolated or in small groups, occur with relevant frequency amongst the population studied.
Objetivo: caracterizar prÃticas alimentares e os possÃveis fatores de risco associados aos Transtornos Alimentares, entre estudantes adolescentes do sexo feminino de Fortaleza-CE. MÃtodos: estudo transversal, com 652 mulheres de 14 a 20 anos, estudantes do 2 ano do segundo grau. Foram utilizados o Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (BITE), o Body Shape Questionaire (BSQ) e o Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Resultados: Das adolescentes, 73,6% estÃo fora de risco para o desenvolvimento de um Transtorno Alimentar, 25,2% delas estÃo em situaÃÃo de risco e em 1,2% foram encontrados indicativos para a ocorrÃncia de um transtorno alimentar. A proporÃÃo de adolescentes que apresentaram prÃticas de risco foi superior nas escolas particulares (p<0,05). Segundo o EAT-26, 9% da amostra apresentam uma pontuaÃÃo (>=21) que caracteriza um estado de situaÃÃo de risco, alÃm de atitudes alimentares patolÃgicas. O BSQ apontou que 36,2% das adolescentes apresentam preocupaÃÃo com a imagem corporal; destas 61% tiveram uma preocupaÃÃo considerada de grau leve, 26,3% apresentaram uma moderada preocupaÃÃo e 12,7% apresentaram uma grave preocupaÃÃo com a imagem corporal. A proporÃÃo de adolescentes que apresentam preocupaÃÃo com a imagem corporal em colÃgios particulares (43%) foi superior à proporÃÃo das que estudam em colÃgios pÃblicos (32,3%), ou seja, a ocorrÃncia de adolescentes com alteraÃÃo de imagem corporal à maior nos colÃgios particulares (p<0,05). As estudantes de colÃgios pÃblicos e particulares demonstraram um desejo similar de serem magras, mas as adolescentes de colÃgios particulares usam de forma mais freqÃente prÃticas inapropriadas para alcanÃar este desejo. ConclusÃo: Adolescentes que apresentam todos os critÃrios diagnÃsticos para caracterizar um transtorno alimentar sÃo uma ocorrÃncia rara em escolas pÃblicas e privadas de Fortaleza, enquanto que os sintomas de transtorno alimentar, apresentando-se em pequena mas preocupante quantidade, ocorrem numa freqÃÃncia relevante entre a populaÃÃo estudada.

Abstract:
In my Senior Thesis, I explore the growth of socially responsible investing (SRI) practices in U.S. equity markets and abnormal sin stocks returns. I analyze the historical performance of socially responsible ETFs and portfolios of current sin stocks—alcohol, tobacco, gaming, and aerospace & defense stocks. I propose that as socially responsible investing practices continue to grow in U.S. equity markets, more industries will eventually be deemed sinful—such as sugary beverages, fast food/sugary food, biotech & pharmaceuticals, and tech/social media. I examine two sinful industries—alcohol and tobacco—by comparing the performance of these sinful portfolios before and after their industries were widely perceived as sinful. I explored these topics for a few key reasons. First, socially responsible investing practices in U.S. equity markets have exploded in popularity over the last decade. Every year, we see increasing amounts of money screened for environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. Despite its increase in popularity, many people have claimed that socially responsible investing isn’t financially responsible investing—it underperforms as compared to common benchmarks such as the S&P 500. On the other hand, existing literature has supported the claim that investing in sin stocks generates abnormal returns for investors. I hypothesize that these two areas of portfolio management are connected—as socially responsible investing practices continue to grow, more industries will eventually be widely perceived as sinful. If the sin stock anomaly does exist and portfolios of sin stocks do generate abnormal returns, individuals and institutions can benefit from an immediate and long term investment strategy by investing in these “future” sinful industries now. Using three distinct capital asset pricing models—the Fama-French 3 Factor Model, the Fama-French 3 Factor Model plus Momentum, and the Fama-French 5 Factor Model—I come to four main conclusions. First, investing in socially responsible ETFs does not generate positive abnormal returns; in some instances, it generates statistically significant negative abnormal returns. Second, across the Fama-French 3 Factor Model, the Fama-French 3 Factor Model plus Momentum, and the Fama-French 5 Factor Model, portfolios of sin stocks from 1977-2018 generate statistically significant positive abnormal returns. Third, during the same time horizon, portfolios of future sin stocks exhibit similar levels of abnormal returns, especially portfolios of biotech & pharmaceutical stocks and portfolios of tech/social media stocks. Finally, portfolios of alcohol and tobacco stocks generated statistically significant abnormal returns after being widely perceived as sinful as compared to before they were widely perceived as sinful. My research has implications for practicing portfolio managers. First, socially responsible investing isn’t financially responsible investing. Second, portfolio managers should consider how the growth of socially responsible investing practices will impact perceptions of what is sinful. Anticipating which industries will become sinful can yield a profitable investment strategy. Third, I promote a profitable investment strategy in the short- and long-term time horizon. The results are clear: go long on sin and short on SRI.

Abstract:
Background: In South Africa there data is lacking on the health of the older population. This study aims to report on actions taken by general practitioners on abnormal blood pressure, blood glucose and osteoporosis screen identified by registered nurses, conducting home based visits to older clients. Methods An agency piloted the Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) tool in an urban affluent population. In this cross sectional secondary study analysis, 465 participants aged 60 years and over had a nurse visit in their homes and a subsequent General Practitioner (GP) visit. The prevalence of specific geriatric problems was assessed as well as the frequency of initiated procedures by the GP. This study will focus on initiated actions by the General Practitioners in response to abnormal blood pressures, blood glucose, and osteoporosis screen. Results Frequency tables were utilised to identify prevalence of the abnormal blood pressures, blood glucose and osteoporosis screen. . Abnormal blood pressures were detected (230/465, 49%) of the subjects , the GP initiated actions on only 15/465 (3.2%) of clients. Abnormal blood sugars were detected 106/465 (23%) of the GP initiated actions on 23/465 (5%) of clients. Clinical risk factors for the development of osteoporosis were detected in 252 /465 (54%) subjects GP initiated actions on 11/465 (3%) Conclusion This study explored the relationships between comprehensive geriatric assessment and subsequent GP actions and found using the CGA in this population will be successful in identifying abnormal health findings which will enable intervention. However, due to challenges in the communications and marketing of this service, GP’s were not well informed of their role and did not act on majority of the abnormal findings detected by nurses

Abstract:

Corneal images can be acquired using confocal microscopes which provide detailed images of the different layers inside the cornea. Most corneal problems and diseases occur in one or more of the main corneal layers: the epithelium, stroma and endothelium. Consequently, for automatically extracting clinical information associated with corneal diseases, or evaluating the normal cornea, it is important also to be able to automatically recognise these layers easily. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches can provide improved accuracy over the conventional processing techniques and save a useful amount of time over the manual analysis time required by clinical experts. Artificial neural networks (ANN) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), are powerful AI techniques, which have the capability to accurately classify the main layers of the cornea. The use of an ANFIS approach to analyse corneal layers is described for the first time in this paper, and statistical features have been also employed in the identification of the corneal abnormality. An ANN approach is then added to form a combined committee machine with improved performance which achieves an accuracy of 100% for some classes in the processed data sets. Three normal data sets of whole corneas, comprising a total of 356 images, and seven abnormal corneal images associated with diseases have been investigated in the proposed system. The resulting system is able to pre-process (quality enhancement, noise removal), classify (whole data sets, not just samples of the images as mentioned in the previous studies), and identify abnormalities in the analysed data sets. The system output is visually mapped and the main corneal layers are displayed. 3D volume visualisation for the processed corneal images as well as for each individual corneal cell is also achieved through this system. Corneal clinicians have verified and approved the clinical usefulness of the developed system especially in terms of underpinning the expertise of ophthalmologists and its applicability in patient care.

Abstract:
AbstractThe way somatization is expressed—including the actual somatoform symptoms experienced—varies in different persons and in different cultures. Traumatic experiences are intertwined with cultural and social values in shaping the resulting psychopathological phenomena, including bodily experiences. Four ideal-typical cases are presented to show the different levels involved. The effects of trauma, culture and values may be pathofacilitating (creating a social context which is necessary for the experience to take place), pathogenetic (taking a causal role in the onset of the psychopathological reaction), pathoplastic (shaping the form such a psychopathological reaction takes) or pathointerpretive (different interpretation of the same symptoms depending on the patient’s beliefs). While the roles of trauma and culture were already well recognized in previous accounts, this chapter adds an exploration of the importance of values, including cultural values, in the aetiology, presentation and management of somatization disorders. As a consequence, the therapeutic approach has to be adjusted depending on the way these factors intervene in the patient’s construction of mental distress.

Abstract:
Classical semi-supervised video anomaly detection assumes that only normal data are available in the training set because of the rare and unbounded nature of anomalies. It is obviously, however, these infrequently observed abnormal events can actually help with the detection of identical or similar abnormal events, a line of thinking that motivates us to study open-set supervised anomaly detection with only a few types of abnormal observed events and many normal events available. Under the assumption that normal events can be well predicted, we propose a Margin Learning Embedded Prediction (MLEP) framework. There are three features in MLEP- based open-set supervised video anomaly detection: i) we customize a video prediction framework that favors the prediction of normal events and distorts the prediction of abnormal events; ii) The margin learning framework learns a more compact normal data distribution and enlarges the margin between normal and abnormal events. Since abnormal events are unbounded, our framework consequently helps with the detection of abnormal events, even for anomalies that have never been previously observed. Therefore, our framework is suitable for the open-set supervised anomaly detection setting; iii) our framework can readily handle both frame-level and video-level anomaly annotations. Considering that video-level anomaly detection is more easily annotated in practice and that anomaly detection with a few anomalies is a more practical setting, our work thus pushes the application of anomaly detection towards real scenarios. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our framework for anomaly detection.

Abstract:
The quantitative assessment of visual fields provides critical data for managing patients with neurological and ophthalmological disorders. However, the behavioral repertoire of infants and young children has precluded refined measurements of visual fields, and in clinical practice, visual field assessment is limited to "confrontation" methods. Previously described perimeter and procedures1 have been modified for quantitative evaluation of visual fields of young pediatric patients.

Abstract:
Abstract The development experience of nuclear power industry shows that risk-guided nuclear safety management is an effective means to deal with multi-unit nuclear safety management and improve the flexible operation of nuclear power plants. In order to comprehensively and effectively manage the nuclear safety status of group plant units, based on advanced nuclear safety management methods, CGN has gradually established and improved an independent supervision system for nuclear safety since 2017. After several years of exploration, the evaluation of group plant performance indexes and the importance of abnormal events, the determination of the operation safety state supervision and management action matrix and the corresponding action requirements have been carried out gradually, so as to realize the closed-loop management of the operation state of units. This paper summarizes the implementation of advanced nuclear safety management methods at the group level and proposes the direction for further development.

Abstract:
Pruritic dermatosis is chronic persistent processes. The principal symptom is tormenting itchy sensation excruciating for patients affected. Medical treatment is often ineffective. Itchy skin may be caused by parasite invasions. Whether external or endogenic, they are highly toxic, which is important in pathogenesis. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude parasitosis in patients with itchy skin. Intoxications and allergic reactions caused by polypragmasy are also capable to cause itching. In total, 64 patients were examined. They underwent histocoprological analysis for helminthic infections. Of them, 41 patients were found to have mono- and polyinvasions and abnormal intestinal macro- and microbiome, which required specific therapy. In 13 patients, the cause was polypharmacotherapy. General cryogenic therapy was applied in 12 patients with generalized itching. Exposure of skin parasites to extreme law temperatures discontinues their life cycle. The effects of general cryogenic treatment result in itching elimination, reduced inflammation, pain attenuation and wound healing. The skin is an informative organ showing therapeutic efficacy when properly treated. Application of general cryogenic treatment as an etiologically focused method is especially prescribed against external parasite infections (such as scabies, dirofilariasis, Morgellons disease).

Abstract:
Abstract When the rotor of an aeroengine or gas turbine contains cracks, it produces abnormal vibrations. The abnormal vibration behavior of the cracked rotor can be used as the basis for crack fault diagnosis. However, in practice, the rotor itself cannot achieve absolute dynamic balance. Also, the operating environment in which the rotor is placed may contain unbalanced excitation. During the rotation of the cracked rotor, the existence of unbalance interferes with these abnormal vibration characteristics. Therefore, studying this process is of great significance for solving the issue of rotor crack fault diagnosis under unbalanced disturbance in engineering. This study aimed to monitor the dynamic characteristics of a multi-disk rotor system with transverse cracks. An unbalanced mass was imposed at the disk. Precision wire cutting was used to prefabricate cracks on the rotor to maximize the simulation of fatigue cracks in the real industrial environment. During the test, the crack depth was from shallow to deep and the direction of the crack opening remained unchanged, while the direction of unbalanced force changed 360° along the circumferential direction of the disk. The experimental results showed that when the angle between the unbalanced force direction and the crack opening direction changed, the crack fault characteristics changed to different degrees. The effect of unbalance on crack fault characteristics was more obvious with the increase in crack depth.

Abstract:
It is a relatively common practice to address the problem of unacceptable synchronous (1X) vibration levels (like unbalance) by applying corrective balance weights after a thorough review of vibration measurements, available engineering information, and prior balancing history of a unit if available. The balance history might include balance plane weight maps and/or balancing influence data. On occasion, other vibration malfunctions and symptoms within measured vibration data, such as misalignment, a rub, or proximity probe journal target area slow roll (sometimes called “runout” or “glitch”) can also appear to be “unbalance” but are not. A principal requirement when performing any corrective balancing of a rotor is that the fundamental synchronous rotor response of the unit should always be linear and time invariant. The fundamental synchronous rotor response is directly proportional to dynamic forces and inversely proportional to dynamic stiffness. If the principle requirements cannot be met while balancing, any further balancing of the rotor should be terminated and other root causes for the unacceptable synchronous vibration levels should be investigated. This paper will discuss a case history involving a steam turbine generator unit where excessive synchronous vibration levels were measured at the LP turbine bearings during transient and steady state operation. The initial concern was a steady increase in vibration levels at the LP turbine under steady state conditions. Prior balancing history and balancing information was reviewed and initial corrective balancing was performed. Initial correction of the unbalance proved to be inadequate, and the unit exhibited a significant change in balance influence. Since the response of the rotor to balance correction was not predictable and inconsistent with prior balancing data, alternative root causes for the unbalance symptoms were investigated. Integration of measured vibration data and numerical modeling were essential with proper identification of the root cause of the unbalance symptoms.

Abstract:
Coronary circulation is mainly regulated by two serial resistances, namely, epicardial stenosis and microvascular impairments, both causing abnormal coronary blood circulation [1]. Delineation of the true severities of these diseases is important to guide clinical decision-making processes for the selection of appropriate treatment procedures [2]. The presently used diagnostic parameters: FFR (fractional flow reserve defined as the ratio of distal to proximal hyperemic pressure) and CFR (coronary flow reserve defined as ratio of basal to hyperemic flow) [1], for the evaluation of severity of epicardial coronary stenosis are well established in clinical practice. On the other hand, current methods to evaluate the microcirculatory status are limited [3].

Abstract:
The overall purpose of this project was to extend our understanding of the impact of human and organizational factors (HOF) on pipeline process safety incidents. Six pipeline incident reports were systematically analyzed using a two-phased approach developed in the Abnormal Situation Management (ASM�) Consortium research program [1]. The first phase of the incident analysis approach used the TapRoot methodology [2] to chart the event sequence, identify contributing factors including organizational practice failures, and identifying root causes of the organizational practice failures. The second phase of the analysis characterized the organizational failures as Common Failure Modes based on the HCS Effective Operations Practices and the specific expression of the root causes in terms of Common Root Cause Manifestations based on the Dirty Dozen human factors taxonomy [3]. The Dirty Dozen taxonomy of human factors was found to have the potential to provide a tractable root cause framework for human and organizational factors. Specific limitations of the Dirty Dozen taxonomy as a HOF framework are discussed. This report has a related webinar.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this study is to summarize the characteristics of RCT in the treatment of obesity by acupuncture and other related intervention measures, so as to enhance evidence-based clinical practice about acupuncture for obesity. Condition being studied: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease that is defined as a body's excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution of total or local fat content. Their complications such as Type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases are strongly related to higher risks of mortality. In recent years, with the changes in diet structure and living habits, 1.9 billion adults were overweight and over 650 million were obese according to the report by the WHO in 2016. Acupuncture is a characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which is effective and safe for the treatment of simple obesity. In recent years, many RCTs using acupuncture in simple obesity were carried out within and outside of China. But currently, acupuncture treatment has no uniform standard, and there are a number of problems with this current clinical application of modern Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately, there is an absence of high-quality data supporting their use. This scoping review aims to summarize the characteristics of RCT in the treatment of obesity by acupuncture and other related intervention measures, so as to enhance evidence-based clinical practice about acupuncture and moxibustion for obesity.

Abstract:
This report presents a case study for constructing aggregate subgrade improvement (ASI) layers using quarry by-product aggregates (QBA), a quarry mix of large primary crushed rocks (PCR) and sand-sized quarry fines. The construction took place at Larry Power Road in Bourbonnais Township in Kankakee County, Illinois, where the Illinois Department of Transportation placed two QBA mixes. The first mix (QBA_M1) consisted of 45% quarry by-products and 55% railroad ballast–sized 3×1 PCR. The second mix (QBA_M2) consisted of 31% and 69% quarry by-products and PCR, respectively. Two conventional ASI sections were also constructed conforming to Illinois Department of Transportation’s CS02 gradation. All sections consisted of a 9 in. (229 mm) QBA/PCR layer topped with a 3 in. (76 mm) dense-graded capping layer. Laboratory studies preceded the construction to recommend optimum quarry by-product content in the QBA materials and construction practice. The Illinois Center for Transportation research team monitored the quality and uniformity of the construction using nondestructive testing techniques such as dynamic cone penetrometer, lightweight deflectometer, and falling weight deflectometer. The segregation potential was monitored by visual inspection and imaging-based techniques. Short-term field evaluation of the constructed QBA layers, particularly QBA_M2 with a 31% quarry by-product content, showed no evidence of abnormal segregation and did not jeopardize the structural integrity of the QBA ASI layers, which had slightly lower but comparable strength and stiffness profiles to the conventional ASI sections. The use of QBA materials in ASI was field validated as a sustainable construction practice to provide stable pavement foundation layers.
