246 Background: Percutaneous biopsy of suspected liver metastases is a common practice for diagnostic purposes. Particularly, in the setting of oncological clinical trials, it is a relatively non-invasive method to obtain sufficient tissue for molecular analyses at regular set time points. However, various complications may occur, including seeding of the tumour along the biopsy tract. Only few reports exist on the actual incidence of seeding, on a limited number of tumor types. The aim of this study was to evaluate the technique’s safety and risk of seeding. Methods: All patients with an ultrasound or CT-guided liver biopsy between 2012-2016 were included. Medical records were reviewed retrospectively for post-biopsy complications and all follow-up imaging was re-assessed for the presence of seeding, defined as tumoral deposits in the biopsy needle tract. Results: In total 782 biopsies were performed in 550 patients (282 women, 268 men; mean age of 61 years), 43.9% (343/782) for trials and 56.1% (439/782) for diagnostic/molecular purposes, 93.7% (733/782) were diagnostic, revealing malignancy in 96.9% (710/733). Number of biopsies per patient ranged between 1 (n=387) to 7 (n=1), a co-axial system was used in 70.6% (552/782) and multiple passes in 29.4% (230/782). Complications were reported in 8.8% (69/782), more often pain (4.7%) and hypotension/vasovagal (2.3%). Admission and/or re-intervention were needed for more severe complications as bleeding (1.0%), sepsis/fever (1.1%), pulmonary embolism (0.3%) and pneumothorax (0.4%). Seeding was seen in 1.1% (8/782) of cases (2/44 melanoma, 1/11 GIST, 1/39 cholangiocarcinoma, 1/247 colorectal, 1/14 oesophagus, 1/97 breast, 1/31 prostate). Mean time for seeding was 208 days (range 43-469 d); mean post-biopsy survival time was 495 days in the seeding and 349 days in the non-seeding group. Conclusions: Percutaneous liver biopsy is a highly effective and safe method for tissue collection, with only a minimal risk of seeding.

Health, sport, rehabilitation 9, no. 3 (September 17, 2023): 40–49. http://dx.doi.org/10.58962/hsr.2023.9.3.40-49.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose. Curriculum preferences of physical education (PE) teachers in primary schools differ, depending on educational policy, local guidelines, and particular needs of students (pupils); therefore, the survey objective was aimed at determining the curriculum preferences of PE teachers in primary schools in terms of differences in length of pedagogical practice.
Material and methods. Curriculum preferences of PE teachers in primary schools (survey instrument) was conducted 6 months (January – June, 2022), through the purposive sampling of size (survey group) of 1 300 (100%) PE teachers in primary schools: (i) Pedagogical practice ≥10 years (n = 518, 39.84%); (ii) Pedagogical practice ˂10 years (n = 782, 60.16%). Descriptive (e.g., percentage frequency, arithmetic mean), inferential (e.g., Pearson's r, chi-square test) statistics were used to evaluate (e.g., analyze, compare) the data.
Results. Significant differences (0.01, 0.05) between the pedagogical practice ≥10 years (n = 518, 39.84%) and ˂10 years (n = 782, 60.16%) of PE teachers (n = 1 300, 100%) were as follows: (i) Curriculum preferences of PE teachers (χ2(3) = 77.75, p = 9.35E-17); (ii) Demanding teaching activity in PE teachers (χ2(4) = 29.34; p = 6.65E-06); (iii) Undemanding teaching activity in PE teachers (χ2(4) = 30.10, p = 4.68E-06). No differences (p˃0.05), between the pedagogical practice ≥10 years (n = 518, 39.84%) and ˂10 years (n = 782, 60.16%) of PE teachers (n = 1 300, 100%), were as follows: (i) Popular teaching activity in PE teachers (χ2(4) = 6.82, p = 0.15); (ii) Unpopular teaching activity in PE teachers (χ2(4) = 8.78, p = 0.06).
Conclusions. Curricular reform in Slovak primary schools allows PE teachers autonomy (partial) in selecting the educational content (course) in terms of meeting the specific needs of students and learning environment, in consultation with board of education (school board) in terms of meeting the particular needs of students and learning environment, recognizing the importance of PE teachers' autonomy and value of tailoring education.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about feeding behaviors in young dairy calves with subclinical respiratory disease (SBRD). The objective of this study was to determine if calves with their first case of SBRD exhibit different feeding behaviors during the 7 d around detection, compared to calves with their first case of clinical BRD (CBRD) or without BRD (NOBRD). Preweaned, group-housed dairy calves (n = 103; 21 ± 6 d of age) underwent twice weekly health exams (lung ultrasound and clinical respiratory score; CRS); health exams were used to classify the BRD status for each calf: SBRD (no clinical signs and lung consolidation ≥ 1cm2; n = 73), CBRD (clinical signs and lung consolidation ≥ 1cm2; n = 18), or NOBRD (never had lung consolidation ≥ 1cm2 or CRS+; n = 12). Feeding behavior data (drinking speed, number of visits, and intake volume) were collected automatically. Calves with SBRD and calves with NOBRD had similar drinking speeds (782 vs. 844 mL/min). Calves with CBRD drank slower than both calves with SBRD (688 vs. 782 mL/min) and NOBRD (688 vs. 844 mL/min). There was no effect of BRD status on any other behavior. Feeding behavior was not an effective means of identifying calves with SBRD.

The molecule of the title compound, [AuCl(C27H36N2)], which belongs to a class of potentially catalytically active N-heterocyclic carbene complexes, has crystallographicC2symmetry and approximateC2vsymmetry. The structure is isostructural with the CuIand AgIanalogues. A previous report of the structure of the title compound as its toluene solvate [Fructoset al.(2005).Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.44, 5284–5288] has inaccurate geometry for the complex molecule as a consequence of probable incorrect refinement in the space groupCc, instead ofC2/c[Marsh (2009).Acta Cryst.B65, 782–783]. The Au—C bond length of 1.998 (4) Å in the title compound is more consistent with the mean distance of 1.979 (14) Å found in 52 other reported [AuCl(carbene)] complexes than with the shorter distance of 1.942 (3) Å given for the refinement in the space groupCcfor the toluene solvate and the value of 1.939 Å obtained from the recalculation of that structure inC2/c.

ObjectiveThe aim of the current investigation was to explore gender related differences in anxiety among undergraduates from 22 countries.MethodStandard Arabic Version of the Kuwait University Anxiety scale (comprised of 20 brief statements, answered on a 4-point intensity scale, anchored by 1: Rarely and 4: Always) was administered to Arabic undergraduates, recruited from the following countries: Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudis Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, U.A. Emirate, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, and Morocco. (n = 608, 271, 879, 842, 948, 780, 782, 435, 154, 393, 342, 833, 1185, 275, 291, 295, 375, & 706. While the English Version was administered to American (n = 273) and Pakistan (n = 462) samples, the Germen version was administered to the Germen subjects (n = 157), Moreover the Spanish version was administered to the Spanish sample (n = 312).ResultsIt was found that females significantly had higher mean anxiety scores than did their male counterparts in 15 countries: Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Pakistan, American, & Spain.ConclusionFemale preponderance of anxiety has been a consistent finding. In the present researcher opinion, the anxiety score of any given person is the end product of both biological and psychosocial factors and their interaction. Furthermore, the response styles, especially social desirability and the tendency to hyperbole had an impact on anxiety score.

En este artículo presentamos la adaptación y el estudio psicométrico de la confiabilidad y validez de la Escala de Desesperanza de Beck (BHS) en la población de Lima Metropolitana. La traducción se realizó con la técnica back translation. La muestra de estudio fue de 782 sujetos (327 varones y 445 mujeres) con edades entre 13 a 19 años (mediana=19 años); dividida en siete grupos: personas con intento de suicidio (n=26); pacientes con depresión mayor o trastorno bipolar (n=23); hipertensos, asmáticos y tuberculosos (n=68); pacientes esquizofrénicos paranoides y con trastornos afectivos (n=22); pacientes dependientes a la pasta básica de cocaína (n=25); estudiantes del 6to. grado de primaria (n=51); y, amas de casa, estudiantes del quinto de secundaria, universitarios, docentes (n=567; población general). El coeficiente alfa de Crombach es de 0.80 (n=782) y el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson de los puntajes del test-retest con un intervalo de dos semanas es 0.60 (n=100). La correlación de la BHS con los ítems que evalúan la desesperanza de la escala de depresión de Beck (BID) es de 0.46; y la correlación con la BID sin los ítemes de desesperanza es de 0.40. El análisis factorial con la técnica de los componentes principales y rotación varimax encuentra 6 factores que explican el 49.32% de la varianza. También se observa que el sexo no se correlaciona con la BHS, pero sí lo hace la edad (p<0.01). Por último, se halla que los pacientes con depresión mayor o trastorno bipolar se agrupan mayoritariamente en las categorías moderado/severo de desesperanza; y los sujetos del grupo población general; los asmáticos, hipertensos, asmáticos, así como los adictos a la PBC se agrupan mayoritariamente en las categorías Normal-asintomático/leve de desesperanza. Se concluye que la BHS adaptada evalúa un constructo psicológicamente significativo y puede ser usada con propósitos de screning.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been identified as a potential risk factor for developing dementia. There are currently, however, no meta-analyses quantifying this risk.AimsTo systematically review and quantify the risk of future dementia associated with PTSD across populations. PROSPERO registration number CRD42019130392.MethodWe searched nine electronic databases up to 25 October 2019 for longitudinal studies assessing PTSD and risk of dementia. We used random- and fixed-effects meta-analyses to pool estimates across studies.ResultsPTSD was associated with a significant risk for all-cause dementia: pooled hazard ratio HR = 1.61 (95% CI 1.43–1.81, I2= 85.8%, P < 0.001; n = 1 693 678; 8 studies). Pooled HR was 1.61 (95% CI 1.46–1.78; I2= 80.9%, P < 0.001; n = 905 896; 5 studies) in veterans, and 2.11 (95% CI 1.03–4.33, I2= 91.2%, P < 0.001; n = 787 782; 3 studies) in the general population. The association between PTSD and dementia remained significant after excluding studies with high risk of bias (HR = 1.55, 95% CI 1.39–1.73, I2= 83.9%, P < 0.001; n = 1 684 928; 7 studies). Most studies included were retrospective and there was evidence of high heterogeneity.ConclusionsThis is the first meta-analysis quantifying the association of PTSD and risk of dementia showing that PTSD is a strong and potentially modifiable risk factor for all-cause dementia. Future studies investigating potential causal mechanisms, and the protective value of treating PTSD are needed.

Aim: Older adult patients with nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have poor outcomes relative to younger patients. The authors’ group established a nomogram to predict the overall survival of older adults with NPC and inform patient management. Methods: Cases with NPC (n = 782) were enrolled in this study; clinical data in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2010 to 2015 served as the training cohort (n = 657), and patients from Jiangxi Cancer Hospital (n = 125) served as the external validation cohort. Results: Training and external validation cohort C-index, receiver operator characteristics curves and calibration curves showed that our nomogram has great predictive ability. Conclusions: Compared with tumor-node-metastasis staging, this nomogram can help clinicians better predict the prognosis of older adults with nonmetastatic NPC.

244 Background: MD Anderson Cancer (MDACC) disease-specific faculty experts have developed institutional guidelines for diagnostic workup and treatment of common tumor types. The institution has four Regional Care Centers in suburban Houston staffed by a total of 10general medical oncologists. The primary intent of this project was to measure the accuracy of staging documentation and adherence to guidelines. The secondary intent was to improve documentation and guideline adherence by regularly reporting results directly to the involved physicians. Methods: Between July 2009 and April 2012, charts for all new medical oncology visits for patients with breast, non-small cell lung, or colon cancer for whom no previous medical oncology plan had been implemented were reviewed by a team of quality nurses on a weekly basis. Source documents were analyzed for (a) adherence to MDACC diagnostic workup guidelines (n=782); (b) accuracy of both TNM and AJCC staging documentation (n=782); and (c) adherence to MDACC treatment guidelines (n=731). On a monthly basis, a graph with rates over time of guideline adherence and accuracy of staging documentation was provided to each general oncologist. Results: The adherence rate to MDACC diagnostic workup guidelines was 79%. The agreement rate for accurate documentation of both TNM and AJCC stage was 72%. The adherence rate to MDACC treatment guidelines was 94%. Providing monthly reports of individual results to each physician did not lead to an increase in the rates of adherence of accurate staging documentation. Analysis comparing all Regional Care Center medical oncologists (not provided to the involved physicians) showed significant variation in rates for all three categories. Conclusions: Providing MDACC Regional Care Center general medical oncologists with simple graphs over time reflecting guideline adherence and accuracy of documentation did not lead to any improvement on those measures. More creative interventions to improve performance in these realms will need to be explored.

Estimativas precisas e acuradas de par?metros gen?ticos e fenot?picos s?o de grande import?ncia para se alcan?ar progresso gen?tico em uma popula??o e se selecionar, de forma mais eficiente, os indiv?duos das linhagens espec?ficas nos programas de melhoramento gen?tico. Com isso, objetivou-se com este trabalho estimar os par?metros da curva de postura, utilizando os modelos de polin?mios segmentados e Wood (1967); e estimar par?metros gen?ticos e fenot?picos dos par?metros do modelo de polin?mios segmentados, assim como a tend?ncia gen?tica dos mesmos. Foram utilizados dados da produ??o de ovo semanal das 25 at? 64 semanas de idade provenientes de 2.398 aves de uma linha f?mea de frangos de corte. As curvas de postura foram ajustadas utilizando os modelos de polin?mios segmentados e Wood (1967). O modelo de polin?mios segmentados ? constitu?do pelos par?metros ?xp?- idade das aves ao pico de postura, ?P?- n?vel de produ??o no pico, ?s? - taxa de decr?scimo semanal na produ??o de ovos ap?s o pico, e ?t? - tempo entre o in?cio e o pico de postura. O modelo de Wood ? constitu?do pelos par?metros ?a? - taxa de produ??o inicial, ?b? taxa de acr?scimo at? o pico de produ??o, e ?c? taxa de decr?scimo ap?s o pico de produ??o. As estimativas das m?dias dos par?metros das curvas foram realizadas utilizando o PROC MEANS do SAS. A estima??o dos componentes de covari?ncias, herdabilidades, correla??es e os valores gen?ticos para os par?metros da curva de postura de polin?mios segmentados foram obtidas utilizando o ?software? MTDFREML e as tend?ncias gen?ticas por meio do PROC REG do SAS. A linhagem avaliada apresentou um pico de postura ?s 30,43 semanas de idade, sendo o n?vel de postura de 0,746 ovo/aves/dia, com uma m?dia de 3,08 semanas do in?cio da postura at? o pico de postura e a taxa de persist?ncia foi de 0,014 ovo/ave/semana. As m?dias estimadas para os par?metros do modelo de Wood (1967) foram de 0,0003 para taxa de produ??o inicial 2,9398 para taxa de acr?scimo de produ??o at? o pico e de 0,0767 para taxa de decr?scimo de produ??o ap?s o pico postura. As curvas ajustadas para os modelos de polin?mios segmentados e Wood (1967) permitiram evidenciar um baixo n?vel de produ??o no pico de postura. O modelo de polin?mios segmentados superestimou a persist?ncia ap?s o pico de postura e o modelo de Wood (1967) subestimou o final da produ??o. As m?dias das herdabilidades foram de baixa a m?dia magnitudes, 0,25 (xp), 0,18 (P), 0,17 (s) e 0,10 (t). Estes resultados indicam que a sele??o para o par?metro ?xp? teria uma melhor resposta que para os demais par?metros. As correla??es entre o par?metro ?t? e os demais par?metros da curva foram positivas variando de 0,21 at? 1,00. Essas correla??es indicam que os animais com um maior tempo entre in?cio e pico de postura tendem a apresentar uma maior idade ao pico de postura, maior n?vel de produ??o e maior queda de produ??o p?s-pico. As correla??es foram negativas entre os par?metros ?s? e ?xp? e ?s? e ?P? apresentando-se menor entre ?s? e ?xp? (-0,17) e maior entre ?s? e ?P? (-0,91), indicando que um aumento no n?vel de produ??o e idade ao pico de produ??o acarretaria uma menor queda de produ??o de ovos p?s-pico. Podemos constatar que pode ser promovido ganho gen?tico para os par?metros da curva de produ??o de ovos, por?m a sele??o para um aumento do n?vel de produ??o poder? levar a um aumento na idade ao pico de postura. Assim como, aves mais precoces ao pico poder?o apresentar menor persist?ncia.

ABSTRACT Precise and accurate estimates of genetic and phenotypic parameters are of great importance to achieve genetic progress in a population and select more efficiently individuals of specific lines in breeding programs. Thus, the aim with this study was to estimate the parameters of the curve approach, using models of segmented polynomials and Wood (1967) and to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters of the model parameters of segmented polynomials, as well as the genetic tendency of them. It had been used data from the weekly egg production from 2,398 birds in a line of female broilers, aging from 25 to 64 weeks. The curves of posture were adjusted using the models of segmented polynomials and Wood (1967). The segmented polynomial model consists of parameters "xp" - the peak age of the birds in attitude, "P" - at peak production level, "s"- a weekly rate of decrease in egg production after peak, and ?t? - time between onset and peak position. The parameters of the Wood model consist of "a"- rate initial production," b "rate of increase until the production peak, and "c" rate of decline after peak production. Estimates of means of parameters were performed using SAS PROC MEANS. Estimation of covariance components, heritability?s, correlations and breeding values for the parameters of the curve posture segmented polynomial were obtained using the software MTDFREML and genetic trends by PROC REG of SAS. The strain studied showed a peak position at 30.43 weeks of age, the level of posture of 0.746 egg / poultry / day, with an average of 3.08 weeks of posture to the peak position and the rate of persistence was 0.014 eggs / bird / week. The estimated averages for the parameters of the model of Wood (1967) was 0.0003 for rate initial production rate of 2.9398 for increased production to peak and 0.0767 for rate of decline of production after the peak position . The fitted curves for the models of segmented polynomials and Wood (1967) have highlighted a low level of production at peak production. The segmented polynomial model overestimated the persistence after the peak position and the model of Wood (1967) underestimated the final production. The heritability?s means were low to medium magnitude, 0.25 (xp), 0.18 (P), 0.17 (s) and 0.10 (t). These results indicate that selection for the parameter "xp" would have a better response than for the other parameters. The correlations between the parameter "t" and the other parameters of the curve were positive ranging from 0.21 to 1.00. These correlations indicate that animals with a longer time between onset and peak position tend to have a higher age at peak position, the highest level of production and greater decrease in post-peak production. Were negative correlations between the parameters "s" and "xp" and "s" and "P" presenting lower between "s" and "xp" (-0.17) and higher in "s" and "P" (-0.91), indicating that an increase in production level and age at peak production would result in a smaller drop in egg production after peak. It has been noted that genetic gains can be obtained for the curve parameters for egg production, but a selection focused on an increased level of production could lead to an increase in age at peak production. Just as birds that present earlier peak may have lower persistence.

Full textAbstract:
Die 1802 gegründete Leipziger Singakademie war der erste Chorverein der Stadt. Ihr Wirken leitete eine Blütezeit der Gesangvereine ein, die bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert andauerte. Die Singakademie war Vorbild für unzählige andere Chöre, zeitweise waren selbst Aufführungen chorsinfonischer Musik im Gewandhaus nicht ohne die Singakademie denkbar.
Dieser Band geht der Frage nach, wer die Akteure dieses Chors waren und worauf sich der Erfolg des Modells »gemischter Chorverein« im frühen 19. Jahrhundert gründet. Die nachweisbaren Wandlungen im gesungenen Repertoire der Folgezeit schlagen gleichsam den Bogen von der Musik- zur Zeitgeschichte. Für eine Einordnung in den historischen Kontext sorgen zudem Exkurse über Traditionen und Brüche der Chormusik in Leipzig und andernorts. Ein ausführlicher Anhang informiert schließlich über die Chorleiter, die Mitglieder und das gesamte Repertoire der Leipziger Singakademie.

Full textAbstract:
Waste rock piles from coal mining of tertiary bituminous coal in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, show sulfide oxidation and subsequent acid mine drainage (AMD) production. The aim was to establish deeper understanding of AMD prediction based on Mineralogy and Geochemistry of coal and AMD samples. Mineralogical investigation of both coal and rock samples was performed with Automated SEM (ZEISS-Sigma VP300-Mineralogic System) as well as RAMAN. ICP-MS analysis was performed on solid and water samples. The pH from in situ measurements of AMD between 2,5-7,0. Eh varied from 222-569 mV (corresponding pe value of 3,7-9,6). This study showed that time of AMD in an oxidative environment was a key factor in iron concentration and iron speciation the AMD. This could not however be concluded in terms of age of mine site but rather the site-specific setting. The main minerals found in coal samples were pyrite (FeS2), siderite (FeCO3), calcite (CaCO3) and apatite (Ca5(PO4)3). Pyrites were identified with framboidal and euhedral textures and were found inside the maceral matter and in over- and underlying rocks respectively. SEM analysis of coal samples indicated that the modes of mineral formation was changing over the course of the Longyear seam. This study found that framboidal or euhedral textures of pyrite had different impacts in the AMD production. Framboidal pyrite was found to generate a greater amount of acidity than euhedral pyrites due to larger specific surface area and could therefore pose larger problems in AMD management.

O nicorandil, um doador de óxido nítrico (NO) e ativador de canal de potássio ATP sensível (KATP), utilizado no tratamento da angina, tem como molécula precursora a N-(beta-hidroxietil) nicotinamida, não liberadora de NO. O nicorandil influencia a proliferação celular excessiva na disfunção renal, e a apoptose no tecido cardíaco pós isquemia. Moléculas que apresentam caráter regulatório em processos de crescimento e morte celular são importantes na terapia de doenças com alteração nesses processos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a citotoxicidade do nicorandil e avaliar sua influência no crescimento celular, na apoptose e na indução de danos no DNA de células de carcinoma renal (786-O). Para verificar a influência do NO liberado foi também avaliada a N-(beta-hidroxietil) nicotinamida, cuja estrutura é diferenciada apenas pela ausência do radical NO2. No ensaio de citotoxicidade MTT, as moléculas apresentaram citotoxicidade a partir de 24h em concentrações diferentes, o nicorandil em 2000 μg/mL e a N-(beta-hidroxietil) nicotinamida em 3000 μg/mL. Nos demais ensaios nicorandil e a N-(beta-hidroxietil) nicotinamida foram testados nas concentrações de 20, 100 e 500 μg/mL e não apresentaram resultados diferentes entre si. Não foram genotóxicas no ensaio do cometa e não alteraram o crescimento celular. Na avaliação morfológica da apoptose não houve alteração, e a expressão dos genes da via apoptótica testados não foi alterada. Concluímos que o nicorandil é citotóxico apenas em altas concentrações, e não altera os outros processos testados nas células renais e a N-(beta-hidroxietil) nicotinamida concorda em todos os resultados com o nicorandil, exceto pela sua citotoxicidade ser menor, provavelmente pela ausência de NO.Nicorandil, nitric oxide (NO) donor and opener of ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP), is used to treat angina, have as precursor molecule N-(beta-hydroxyethyl) nicotinamide, not donor of NO. Nicorandil influence the excessive cell proliferation in renal dysfunction, and apoptosis in cardiac tissue after the ischemia. Molecules that show character regulatory in cellular processes such as growth and death cell, present important role in the therapy of diseases with alteration in these processes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of nicorandil and if it influences the cell growth, apoptosis and cause DNA damage in renal cell carcinoma (786-O), and to check the influence of NO release was also evaluated the N-(beta-hydroxyethyl) nicotinamide. In the MTT cytotoxicity assay, cytotoxic molecules from 24h in concentrations different, the nicorandil in 2000mg/mL and the N-(beta-hydroxyethyl) nicotinamida in 3000 mg/mL. In the other trials nicorandil and N-(beta-hydroxyethyl) nicotinamida were tested at concentrations 20, 100 and 500mg/mL and not showed different results with each other. Were not genotoxic in the comet assay and did not affect cell growth. In the evaluation morphology of apoptosis no has changed, and the expression of the genes tested too was not change. We conclude that nicorandil is cytotoxic only at high concentrations, and not changed the other processes tested in kidney cells and N-(beta-hydroxyethyl) nicotinamide agree in all these results with nicorandil, except for its cytotoxicity be lower, probably due to the absence of NO.

Full textAbstract:
Quiconque a déjà vu Gladiator de Ridley Scott a pu observer Joaquin Phoenix incarner un bien cruel empereur Commode, maître des armes et détenteur d’un pouvoir absolu, qui, isolé dans son palais, peut décider de la vie et de la mort de ses sujets. Mais il a également pu voir Derek Jacobi jouer le sénateur Gracchus, farouche partisan de la res publica (notion qui, dans ce contexte, prend le sens de République), système politique qui existait avant que ne soit créé le pouvoir des empereurs. Ce clivage politique entre pouvoir personnel et exercice collégial du gouvernement ne correspond en rien à la réalité historique propre à l’époque du dernier des Antonins, mais il est assurément le reflet de ce que l’imaginaire commun a pu retenir de cette période de l’Antiquité. Cette approche duale et contradictoire du pouvoir politique romain n’est pas une invention des Modernes. Elle peut renvoyer, certes de manière très schématique, à la période qui, du Ier siècle avant notre ère au Ier siècle de notre ère, voit émerger non pas un changement de régime mais un entre-deux politique, entre démocratie et monarchie, où le pouvoir impérial fondé par Auguste au tournant de notre ère fait sienne toute une culture nobiliaire du pouvoir tout en développant un contact et une réelle interaction avec le populus de Rome et, plus largement les habitants de l’imperium Romanum. C’est à cela même que renvoie la notion de « République impériale » romaine. Le recours à ce concept peut paraître surprenant puisqu’il a surtout été utilisé par des historiens de l’époque contemporaine, que l’on songe à Raymond Aron ou Olivier Le cour Grandmaison mais il permet de rendre compte des nuances propres à cette période où, pour paraphraser le philosophe Cicéron, des individus ont bénéficié « d’un pouvoir supérieur à celui de l’État tout entier » sans pour autant que les structures de celui-ci ne soient brutalement remises en cause. Complexe à définir et tout à fait spécifique, cet entre-deux ne peut être compris que dans une dynamique de mutation, ses structures militaires, économiques, politiques et, pour reprendre un terme actuel bien qu’inadapté, idéologiques évoluant à mesure que se renforce l’administration du « monde romain » - qui s’étend sur une partie de l’Europe, de l’Asie et de l’Afrique - mais aussi que les habitants de cet ensemble ne s’habituent au pouvoir personnel. En prenant appui sur les acquis récents de l’historiographie tout autant que sur les controverses qui lui sont propres (citons à titre d’exemple l’opposition de vue entre Fergus Millar et Karl-Joachim Hölkeskamp à propos de la nature démocratique et/ou aristocratique de la res publica romaine), la présente enquête entend renouveler la perception de cadres chronologiques souvent réduits à une succession République/Empire afin de percevoir au mieux les modalités d’enracinement d’un pouvoir personnel et centralisé au sein d’un « monde romain », dont la capitale continue d’être pensée comme une cité où le pouvoir s’incarne aux travers de magistratures et de l’ordre sénatorial. Ancrée dans le champ politique et institutionnel, cette réflexion ne peut faire abstraction des apports qui sont ceux de la sociologie mais aussi de la science politique, y compris dans ses aspects les plus récents, afin de saisir comment un système politique peut profondément évoluer sans pour autant changer brutalement, soit un questionnement très actuel à l’heure où le modèle démocratique tel que forgé au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale tend à être remis en causeAnyone who has ever seen Gladiator by Ridley Scott has watched Joaquin Phoenix embody a cruel emperor Commodus, a military and all-powerful leader, who, all by himself in his palace, can decide of life and death among his subjects. But they could also see Derek Jacobi play senator Gracchus, fierce partisan of the res publica (a notion which, in this context, means Republic), a political system which existed before the power of emperors was created. This political division between personal power and collective governing does not match the historical reality of the era of the last of the Antonine emperors, but it shows what people could remember of this era of Antiquity. This dual and contradictory vision of Roman political power is not a recent idea. It can refer - certainly in an oversimplified way - to the period when, from the first century BC to the first century AD, there appeared something different from a simple change of regime, a political in-between system - between democracy and monarchy - in which the imperial power created by Augustus at the start of our era integrates the aristocratic culture while developing a contact and a real interaction with the people of Rome and more generally speaking the inhabitants of the imperium Romanum. This is what is referred to by the notion of Roman « imperial Republic ». Referring to this concept may be surprising as it has essentially been used by the contemporary historians, whether it be Raymond Aron or Olivier Le cour Grandmaison ; yet it enables to bring out the subtler points of this period when, to paraphrase Cicero, some individuals benefited from « a power superior to that of the whole state » without strongly questioning the structures of that State. This political phase is really specific and thus hard to define ; it can only be understood in a dynamic of change, its military, economic, political and - to use a current term - ideological structures evolving as the administration of the Roman world - which is spread on Europe, Asia and Africa - gets stronger, but also as the inhabitants of this Empire get used to personal power. While relying on the recent studies of historiography as much as its controverses (one can quote the opposed opinions of Fergus Millar and Karl-Joachim Hölkeskamp concerning the democratic and/or aristocratic nature of the Roman res publica), this study aims at casting a new light on the perception of chronological frameworks often reduced to a succession of Republic/Empire in order to understand how a personal power centralised in a « Roman world », is rooted in a world whose capital is still considered as a city where power is embodied by magistracies and senatorial order. Rooted in the political and institutional fields, this work cannot leave aside the contribution of sociological and political sciences, including their most recent aspects, so as to understand the way a political system can deeply evolve without changing brutally, which is a current issue at a time when the democratic model as forged at the end of the Second World war tends to be questioned

Behrendt, Frauke. "Mobile sound : media art in hybrid spaces." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2010. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/6336/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores the relationships between sound and mobility through an examination of sound art. The research engages with the intersection of sound, mobility and art through original empirical work and theoretically through a critical engagement with sound studies. In dialogue with the work of De Certeau, Lefebvre, Huhtamo and Habermas in terms of the poetics of walking, rhythms, media archeology and questions of publicness, I understand sound art as an experimental mobile and public space. The thesis establishes and situates the emerging field of mobile sound art by mapping three key traditions of mobile sound art - locative art, sound art and public art - and creates a taxonomy of mobile sound art by defining four categories: 'placing sounds', 'sound platforms', 'sonifying mobility' and 'musical instruments' (each represented by one case study). In doing so it develops a methodology that is attentive to the specifics of the sonic and mobile of media experience. I demonstrate how sonic interactions and embodied mobility are designed and experienced in specific ways in each of the four case studies - 'Aura' by Symons (UK), 'Pophorns' by Torstensson and Sandelin (Sweden), 'SmSage' by Redfern and Borland (US) and 'Core Sample' by Rueb (US) (all 2007). In tracing the topos of the musical telephone, discussing the making and breaking of relevant micro publics, accounting for the polyphonies of footsteps and unwrapping bundles of rhythms, this thesis contributes to understanding complex media experiences in hybrid spaces. In doing so it critically sheds light on the quality of sonic artistic experiences, the audience engagement with urban, public and networked spaces and the relationship between sound art and everyday media experience. My thesis provides valuable insight into auditory ways of mobilising and making public spaces, non-verbal and embodied media practices, and rhythms and scales of mobile media experiences.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-314771.
Full textAbstract:
The cyanobacterial neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), a non-protein amino acid, first attracted attention in correlation to reports of high incidence of the unusual neurological disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinsonism-dementia (ALS/PDC) among the people of Guam in the South Pacific Ocean. Experimental studies have revealed that BMAA causes neuronal cell death. The neurotoxin is suggested to act via excitotoxicity through interaction with glutamatergic receptors. More importantly, BMAA is suggested to misincorporate in the synthesis of proteins, and contribute to protein misfolding and/or deleterious aggregation, which are hallmarks of several neurodegenerative disorders. A selective uptake of BMAA in the rat neonatal hippocampus can interfere with brain development, causing learning and memory impairments in adult rats. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of BMAA in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. These cells were exposed to BMAA (10 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM or 500 μM) for 72 hours, and the expression of five selected proteins, including heat shock protein-27 (HSP-27), lysosomal associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP-1), CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), Golgi associated plant pathogenesis related protein-2 (GLIPR-2), and glucose regulated protein-78 (GRP-78). They were carried out with immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results revealed an increased expression of all selected proteins, which indicates an uptake and shows the effects of BMAA in the cell cultures. Taken together, BMAA caused cellular stress, including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress that is correlated with HSP-27, LAMP-1, CHOP, GLIPR-2, and GRP-78. Further studies are needed in order to support the results. The experiments require being repeated using the same biomarkers as well as a combination of them with other biomarkers to elucidate the effects of BMAA.

Summaries in English and AfrikaansAny loss in an adolescent's life may lead to shattered dreams. Therapists, who work with adolescents who have experienced a loss must support and guide them to develop an awareness of their needs, impulses and dreams. Therapists must furthermore be aware of the factors that contributed to a turning point for the adolescents who managed to recreate their dreams. Adolescents' dreams are influenced by the current circumstances in South Africa, as well as their parents' perceptions and parenting styles. The loss of what could have been, after a loss, must also be addressed. The gestalt therapist establishes the process of awareness in the here-and-now. Furthermore, the adolescent must be guided to accept responsibility for his own choices and to purposeful create a new life dream.
Enige verlies in adolessente se lewens kan lei tot verbrokkelde lewensdrome. Terapeute wat werk met adolessente wat 'n verlies ervaar het, moet hul ondersteun en begelei sodat hulle bewustheid kan ontwikkel van hul behoeftes, drange en drome. Terapeute moet verder bewus wees van die faktore wat 'n keerpunt meegebring het by die adolessente wat wei hul drome kon herskep. Adolessente se lewensdrome word beinvloed deur die huidige omstandighede in Suid-Afrika, sowel as deur hul ouers se persepsies en ouerskapstyl. Die verlies aan dit wat kon wees, na afloop van 'n verlies moet dus ook aangespreek word. Die gestaltterapeut bewerkstellig die bewusmakingsproses in die hier-en-nou. Verder moet die adolessent gelei word om verantwoordelikheid te neem vir sy eie keuses en om doelbewus 'n nuwe lewensdroom te skep.

AbstractSince 2013, Indigenous higher degree by research (HDR) students have had an opportunity to participate in capacity-building workshops conducted by the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network (NIRAKN). The workshops included basic information about completing a research degree, including how to navigate academia, how to read and write critically and an introduction to Indigenous research methodologies. In this chapter, an overview of what NIRAKN set out to achieve and what has been accomplished is discussed. Evaluation forms completed by Indigenous HDR students (n = 78) who attended capacity-building workshops were analysed to understand what students found to be beneficial when participating in NIRAKN events. Here, we share the findings and offer insights into ways higher education institutions can support Indigenous HDR students in the successful completion of their degrees.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractQuality of life (QoL) is a subjective term often determined by various aspects of living, such as personal well-being, health, family, and safety. QoL is challenging to capture objectively but can be anticipated through a person’s emotional state; especially positive emotions indicate an increased QoL and may be a potential indicator for other QoL aspects (such as health, safety). Affective computing is the study of technologies that can quantitatively assess human emotions from external clues. It can leverage different modalities including facial expression, physiological responses, or smartphone usage patterns and correlate them with the person’s life quality assessments. Smartphones are emerging as a main modality, mostly because of their ubiquitous availability and use throughout daily life activities. They include a plethora of onboard sensors (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS) and can sense different user activities passively (e.g., mobility, app usage history). This chapter presents a research study (here referred to as the TapSense study) that focuses on assessing the individual’s emotional state from the smartphone usage patterns. In this TapSense study, the keyboard interaction of n = 22 participants was unobtrusively monitored for 3 weeks to determine the users’ emotional state (i.e., happy, sad, stressed, relaxed) using a personalized machine learning model. TapSense can assess emotions with an average AUCROC of 78%(±7% std). We summarize the findings and reflect upon these in the context of the potential developments within affective computing at large, in the long term, indicating a person’s quality of life.

AbstractSince 1978 and the initial French data protection law (Loi n°78-17 du 6 Janvier 1978), consecutive modifications regarding the protection of personal health data, especially in 2004, 2016 and 2018, set up a strict legal regime for processing sensitive personal data, including for research purposes. In recent years, French law has evolved proactively and in parallel with the work of the European Union (EU) on the preparation of what became the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has been in force since May 2018. This Chapter performs a state-of-art analysis (as of 1 July 2019) of the French legal framework for research biobanks and data protection rules applying to biobanking, in particular those related to data subjects’ rights and Article 89 of the GDPR. Firstly, it provides updated information about the national landscape of active research biobanks in France (Sect. 1). Secondly, it explores how the French law embodies the developments brought by the GDPR and how it envisages individuals’ rights in the context of research biobanking (Sects. 2 and 3). Thirdly, this Chapter analyses existing and potential national exemptions to individuals’ rights, including with regard to Article 89 GDPR, and how France conceives of processing activities of ‘public interest’ (Sect. 4). Finally, the authors address ongoing debates around bioethics law in France and argue for the creation of a specific Act focused on biobanking as a means of integrating, clarifying and developing not only data protection rules but also other activities related to samples, human or not, in a unique, operational and compact act (Sect. 5).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractConcrete is one of the fundamental materials in the construction industry. Typically, concrete is composed of sand, cement, aggregate, and added water to the cement ratio. To enhance sustainability and reduce the negative effect on the environment from industrial waste, recycling waste material into the concrete mixture is becoming an area of research by substituting some of the concrete ingredients with some of the recycled waste material in order to reduce the amount of fine natural aggregate used in the construction industry, maximise the strength and minimise the overall weight of the concrete product. Waste foundry sand is a by-product of sand casting, a waste product of the metal casting industry. The improper disposal of this waste foundry sand (WFS) could cause environmental issues. Consequently, its possible use in building materials, product design, construction, and other fields is crucial for mitigating environmental limitations. To minimise negative environmental impacts, researchers have proposed reusing this waste foundry sand by replacing, fully or partially, some of the standard natural sand within the concrete mixture. This paper investigates the mechanical and physical properties of concrete cubes containing recycled sand-casting material by demonstrating the experimental work to determine the potential benefit or limitations of using this material within the concrete in the construction and product design industries. According to the experimental results, waste foundry sand, with a substitution ratio of up to 30%, had a compression strength of circa 23 N/mm2 and reached up to 78% of the strength of a standard control sample within 7 days. The results hence suggest that waste foundry sand can be used in the production of concrete products when such reduction in strength is not critical. Such a range of products could include curbs, garden slabs, cycling pavements, gravel boards, etc. Additionally, utilising waste foundry sand will help to reduce the use of natural sand and the need for landfill sites, which has several advantages, including cost savings and environmental protection by reducing CO2 emissions during transportation.

AbstractAllogeneic stem cell transplantation was successfully performed in 1968, and its use has grown significantly over the past five decades with the total number now exceeding 1.5 million patients (Niederwieser et al. Haematologica. 107:1045–1053, 2022). HSCT is a curative treatment for many haematological cancers and other disorders. Almost 40,000 HSCT procedures are performed Europe-wide per annum (Passweg et al. Bone Marrow Transplant. 51(6):786–92, 2016), and the number of transplant recipients achieving ‘long-term survival’ and with late effects directly related to their treatment (Majhail et al. Hematol Oncol Stem Cell Ther 5(1):1–30, 2012) is increasing (Penack et al. Blood Adv 4:6283–6290, 2020). This growth in survivors is the result of improvements in transplant knowledge and expertise, refinements to conditioning regimes, developments in supportive care and increased numbers of procedures due to broadening transplant indications.The most common cause of death after transplant is relapsed disease. Yet, even without disease relapse, long-term survival is complex for many as other causes of mortality such as graft versus host disease (GvHD), infection, second malignancy, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (Savani et al. Blood. 117:3002–9, 2011) prove difficult to address.Recovery post-HSCT is challenging, lasting several months to years. These individuals are susceptible to the development of post-treatment physical and psychological sequelae years to decades after completion of treatment leading to a reduced life expectancy with greater morbidity when compared to an age-adjusted population (Socié et al. N Engl J Med 341:14–21, 1999). Survivors with late effects experience significantly poorer physical and mental health, report more unmet needs for care and have significantly greater use of health services compared with survivors without late effects (Treanor et al. Psychooncology 22(11):2428–2435, 2013).Furthermore, as the number of survivors continues to grow, their long-term health problems and subsequent needs demand increasing resource and attention from late effects services. These services must remain agile and responsive, develop capacity to provide continuing expertise and oversight and collaborate with the other specialist services for input when needed.The unpredictable, complex and multifactorial nature of these long-term and late effects in HSCT survivors means that patients require regular life-long assessment guided by rigorous protocols. However, it is important to remember that even using standardised protocols, these should be different for adults and children and the resulting care must be tailored to the needs of the individual. And finally, further consideration is needed for the growing number of young people and adult survivors in long-term follow-up who have been treated in childhood and transitioned into adult long-term follow-up care.

Introduction: Assessing limb functionality is difficult in the mastologsit’s office. The growing incidence of breast cancer and consequently of cancer treatment and patient survival justifies the search for reliable quantitative evaluation methods to diagnose and correlate treatment-related chronic functional sequelae. In addition, many clinical limitations are not associated with the absolute values of strength and mobility of the upper limb. Objectives: To verify if the EORTC-BR23, SPADI and BCTOS questionnaires are able to differentiate known groups in relation to functionality. Methods: Study approved by the Ethics Committee under number 782/2014. Observational cross-sectional, non-randomized study. 48 patients treated with conservative surgery associated with radiotherapy were selected through a non-probabilistic sample for convenience and divided into two groups: G1 composed of 24 women with a minimum of two functional deficits diagnosed by goniometry and dynamometry; and G2 - women without deficits and functional complaints. Sequelae were considered a 10-degree reduction in abduction or flexion, or a 12% difference in loss of strength in the limb homolateral to breast cancer. All patients answered the SPADI, BCTOS and EORTC-BR 23 questionnaires. They sought to assess the domains of the questionnaires that would be able to separate the groups. The Man-Whitney test was used to compare the groups. If the questionnaires were able to distinguish the groups, a potential cut-off point was identified by the ROC curve. Grant by FAPESP project n. 2014 08197-0. Results: Regarding groups G1 and G2, a difference was observed in all domains of the SPADI questionnaires [pain (p <0.001) and disability (p <0.001)] and BCTOS [(functional (p=-0.04), cosmesis (p=0.025), breast pain (p=0.053) and edema (p=0.007)], and in EORTC-BR 23 only in the “Symptoms of the Arm” domain (p=0.01). SPADI pain (area = 0.808, p <0.001) and disability (area = 0.885, p<0.001) were the questionnaires that better separated the groups, with cutoff points for SPADI pain ≤38 (sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 79.17%) and SPADI disability ≤41.25 (sensitivity 88.3%, specificity 91.7%). Conclusions: In patients undergoing conservative treatment and radiotherapy, it was possible to use SPADI and BCTOS to diagnose functional sequelae, since they were able to differentiate the previously known groups in all assessment domains, and SPADI was able to better identify the groups. This fact facilitates the use of these questionnaires in clinical practice, aiming at assessing the sequelae associated with treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The use of near-infrared (NIR) measurements of photon migration has been recently demonstrated for the detection of breast cancer in Europe. Yet the clinical success of this potential screening tool depends upon consistent detection of the disease at earlier stages than is currently possible with conventional x-ray mammography. In this paper, we present the optical property measurements of 115 histologically classified breast tissue specimens in order to determine whether consistent and significant optical contrast exists for detection of the disease. Our in vitro optical properties measured with a double integrating sphere technique show consistent changes (yet statistically insignificant) in effective scattering coefficients, μs , with tissue classification of infiltrating carcinoma (N=48), ductal carcinoma in situ (N=5), mucinous carcinoma (N=3), normal fatty (N=23), and normal fibrous tissues (N=35). However, there is little change in the in vitro tissue absorption coefficient, μa, measured at 749, 789, and 836 nm. For normal and diseased tissue specimens extracted from the same patient. we found differences in optical properties indicating optical contrast.

Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTA), in four coastal hydrographic stations of Colombian Pacific Ocean, were analyzed. The selected hydrographic stations were: Tumaco (1°48'N-78°45'W), Gorgona island (2°58'N-78°11'W), Solano Bay (6°13'N-77°24'W) and Malpelo island (4°0'N-81°36'W). SSTA time series for 1960-2015 were calculated from monthly Sea Surface Temperature obtained from International Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS). SSTA time series, Oceanic Nino Index (ONI), Pacific Decadal Oscillation index (PDO), Arctic Oscillation index (AO) and sunspots number (associated to solar activity), were compared. It was found that the SSTA absolute minimum has occurred in Tumaco (-3.93°C) in March 2009, in Gorgona (-3.71°C) in October 2007, in Solano Bay (-4.23°C) in April 2014 and Malpelo (-4.21°C) in December 2005. The SSTA absolute maximum was observed in Tumaco (3.45°C) in January 2002, in Gorgona (5.01°C) in July 1978, in Solano Bay (5.27°C) in March 1998 and Malpelo (3.64°C) in July 2015. A high correlation between SST and ONI in large part of study period, followed by a good correlation with PDO, was identified. The AO and SSTA have showed an inverse relationship in some periods. Solar Cycle has showed to be a modulator of behavior of SSTA in the selected stations. It was determined that extreme values of SST are related to the analyzed large scale oscillations.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to synthesize the scientific evidence that evaluates fatigue and fracture resistance, survival, and stress distribution, of composite resin CAD/CAM and ceramic CAD/CAM occlusal veneers in posterior teeth with severe occlusal wear. Condition being studied: Currently there is an increase in cases of dental wear, due to several factors such as: excessive consumption of carbonated drinks, a diet high in acids, gastric diseases, anorexia, bulimia, dental grinding, use of highly abrasive toothpastes, or a combination of these(9) (10) (11) (12); which affect the patient in several aspects: loss of vertical dimension, sensitivity due to the exposure of dentin, esthetics, affectation of the neuromuscular system(11) (13) (14). With the advent of minimally invasive dentistry, occlusal veneers have been found to be a valid option to rehabilitate this type of cases and thus avoid greater wear of the dental structure with full coverage restorations. Sometimes when performing a tabletop it is not necessary to perform any preparation, thus preserving the maximum amount of dental tissue(3) (6) (15). Due to the masticatory load either in patients without parafunction where the maximum masticatory force is approximately 424 N for women and 630 N for men or in those who present parafunction where the maximum bite force can vary from 780 to 1120N(7), it is necessary that the occlusal veneers support that load which makes indispensable a compilation of studies investigating both fatigue and fracture resistance and the survival rate of occlusal veneers in different materials and thicknesses.

INTRODUCTION: Palliative care continues to gain recognition among primary care providers, as patients suffering from chronic conditions may benefit from use of this growing service. OBJECTIVES: This single-institution quality improvement study investigates the clinical characteristics and socioeconomic status (SES) of palliative care patients and identifies predictors of palliative care utilization. METHODS: Retrospective chart review was used to compare clinical and SES parameters for three groups of patients: (1) palliative care patients who attended at least one visit since the inception of the University Clinical Health Palliative Care Clinic in Memphis, TN in October 2018 (n = 61), (2) palliative care patients who did not attend any appointments (n = 19), and (3) a randomized group of age-matched primary care patients seen by one provider from May 2018 to May 2019 (n = 36). A Poisson regression model with backward conditional variable selection was used to determine predictors of palliative care utilization. RESULTS: Patients across the three care groups did not differ in demographic parameters. Compared to palliative care-referred non-users and primary care patients, palliative care patients tended to have lower health risk (p < 0.001). Palliative care patients did not differ from primary care patients in socioeconomic status but did differ in comorbidity distribution, having a higher prevalence of cancer (𝜒2 = 14.648, df = 7, p = 0.041). Chance of 10-year survival did not differ across risk categories for palliative care patients but was significantly lower for very high-risk compared to moderate-risk primary care patients (30% vs. 78%, p = 0.019). Significant predictors of palliative care use and their corresponding incidence rate ratios (IRR) were hospital referral (IRR = 1.471; p = 0.039), higher number of prescribed medications (IRR = 1.045; p = 0.003), lower Charlson Comorbidity Index (IRR = 0.907; p = 0.003), and lower systolic blood pressure (IRR = 0.989; p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Patients who are expected to benefit from and of being high utilizers of palliative care may experience greater clinical benefit from earlier referral to this service.

Full textAbstract:
The Big Thicket National Preserve (BITH) vegetation inventory project classified and mapped vegetation within the administrative boundary and estimated thematic map accuracy quantitatively. National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program provided technical guidance. The overall process included initial planning and scoping, imagery procurement, vegetation classification field data collection, data analysis, imagery interpretation/classification, accuracy assessment (AA), and report writing and database development. Initial planning and scoping meetings took place during May, 2016 in Kountze, Texas where representatives gathered from BITH, the NPS Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network, and Colorado State University. The project acquired new 2014 orthoimagery (30-cm, 4-band (RGB and CIR)) from the Hexagon Imagery Program. Supplemental imagery for the interpretation phase included Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) 2015 50 cm leaf-off 4-band imagery from the Texas Orthoimagery Program (TOP), Farm Service Agency (FSA) 100-cm (2016) and 60 cm (2018) National Aerial Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery, and current and historical true-color Google Earth and Bing Maps imagery. In addition to aerial and satellite imagery, 2017 Neches River Basin Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data was obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and TNRIS to analyze vegetation structure at BITH. The preliminary vegetation classification included 110 United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) associations. Existing vegetation and mapping data combined with vegetation plot data contributed to the final vegetation classification. Quantitative classification using hierarchical clustering and professional expertise was supported by vegetation data collected from 304 plots surveyed between 2016 and 2019 and 110 additional observation plots. The final vegetation classification includes 75 USNVC associations and 27 park special types including 80 forest and woodland, 7 shrubland, 12 herbaceous, and 3 sparse vegetation types. The final BITH map consists of 51 map classes. Land cover classes include five types: pasture / hay ground agricultural vegetation; non ? vegetated / barren land, borrow pit, cut bank; developed, open space; developed, low ? high intensity; and water. The 46 vegetation classes represent 102 associations or park specials. Of these, 75 represent natural vegetation associations within the USNVC, and 27 types represent unpublished park specials. Of the 46 vegetation map classes, 26 represent a single USNVC association/park special, 7 map classes contain two USNVC associations/park specials, 4 map classes contain three USNVC associations/park specials, and 9 map classes contain four or more USNVC associations/park specials. Forest and woodland types had an abundance of Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ilex opaca, Ilex vomitoria, Quercus nigra, and Vitis rotundifolia. Shrubland types were dominated by Pinus taeda, Ilex vomitoria, Triadica sebifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, and/or Callicarpa americana. Herbaceous types had an abundance of Zizaniopsis miliacea, Juncus effusus, Panicum virgatum, and/or Saccharum giganteum. The final BITH vegetation map consists of 7,271 polygons totaling 45,771.8 ha (113,104.6 ac). Mean polygon size is 6.3 ha (15.6 ac). Of the total area, 43,314.4 ha (107,032.2 ac) or 94.6% represent natural or ruderal vegetation. Developed areas such as roads, parking lots, and campgrounds comprise 421.9 ha (1,042.5 ac) or 0.9% of the total. Open water accounts for approximately 2,034.9 ha (5,028.3 ac) or 4.4% of the total mapped area. Within the natural or ruderal vegetation types, forest and woodland types were the most extensive at 43,022.19 ha (106,310.1 ac) or 94.0%, followed by herbaceous vegetation types at 129.7 ha (320.5 ac) or 0.3%, sparse vegetation types at 119.2 ha (294.5 ac) or 0.3%, and shrubland types at 43.4 ha (107.2 ac) or 0.1%. A total of 784 AA samples were collected to evaluate the map?s thematic accuracy. When each AA sample was evaluated for a variety of potential errors, a number of the disagreements were overturned. It was determined that 182 plot records disagreed due to either an erroneous field call or a change in the vegetation since the imagery date, and 79 disagreed due to a true map classification error. Those records identified as incorrect due to an erroneous field call or changes in vegetation were considered correct for the purpose of the AA. As a simple plot count proportion, the reconciled overall accuracy was 89.9% (705/784). The spatially-weighted overall accuracy was 92.1% with a Kappa statistic of 89.6%. This method provides more weight to larger map classes in the park. Five map classes had accuracies below 80%. After discussing preliminary results with the parl, we retained those map classes because the community was rare, the map classes provided desired detail for management or the accuracy was reasonably close to the 80% target. When the 90% AA confidence intervals were included, an additional eight classes had thematic accruacies that extend below 80%. In addition to the vegetation polygon database and map, several products to support park resource management include the vegetation classification, field key to the associations, local association descriptions, photographic database, project geodatabase, ArcGIS .mxd files for map posters, and aerial imagery acquired for the project. The project geodatabase links the spatial vegetation data layer to vegetation classification, plot photos, project boundary extent, AA points, and PLOTS database sampling data. The geodatabase includes USNVC hierarchy tables allowing for spatial queries of data associated with a vegetation polygon or sample point. All geospatial products are projected using North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 15 N. The final report includes methods and results, contingency tables showing AA results, field forms, species list, and a guide to imagery interpretation. These products provide useful information to assist with management of park resources and inform future management decisions. Use of standard national vegetation classification and mapping protocols facilitates effective resource stewardship by ensuring the compatibility and widespread use throughout NPS as well as other federal and state agencies. Products support a wide variety of resource assessments, park management and planning needs. Associated information provides a structure for framing and answering critical scientific questions about vegetation communities and their relationship to environmental processes across the landscape.

Population-level interventions to improve the health outcomes of people living with hepatitis B: an Evidence Check brokered by the Sax Institute for the NSW Ministry of Health, 2022. The Sax Institute, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.57022/pxwj3682.
Full textAbstract:
Background An estimated 292 million people are living with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection globally, including 223,000 people in Australia. HBV diagnosis and linkage of people living with HBV to clinical care is suboptimal in Australia, with 27% of people living with HBV undiagnosed and 77% not receiving regular HBV clinical care. This systematic review aimed to characterize population-level interventions implemented to enhance all components of HBV care cascade and analyse the effectiveness of interventions. Review questions Question 1: What population-level interventions, programs or policy approaches have been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B; and that may not yet be fully rolled out or evaluated in Australia demonstrate early effectiveness, or promise, in reducing the incidence of hepatitis B? Question 2: What population-level interventions and/or programs are effective at reducing disease burden for people in the community with hepatitis B? Methods Four bibliographic databases and 21 grey literature sources were searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if the study population included people with or at risk of chronic HBV, and the study conducted a population-level interventions to decrease HBV incidence or disease burden or to enhance any components of HBV care cascade (i.e., diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment initiation, adherence to clinical care), or HBV vaccination coverage. Studies published in the past 10 years (since January 2012), with or without comparison groups were eligible for inclusion. Studies conducting an HBV screening intervention were eligible if they reported proportion of people participating in screening, proportion of newly diagnosed HBV (participant was unaware of their HBV status), proportion of people received HBV vaccination following screening, or proportion of participants diagnosed with chronic HBV infection who were linked to HBV clinical care. Studies were excluded if study population was less than 20 participants, intervention included a pharmaceutical intervention or a hospital-based intervention, or study was implemented in limited clinical services. The records were initially screened by title and abstract. The full texts of potentially eligible records were reviewed, and eligible studies were selected for inclusion. For each study included in analysis, the study outcome and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated. For studies including a comparison group, odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95%CIs were calculated. Random effect meta-analysis models were used to calculate the pooled study outcome estimates. Stratified analyses were conducted by study setting, study population, and intervention-specific characteristics. Key findings A total of 61 studies were included in the analysis. A large majority of studies (study n=48, 79%) included single-arm studies with no concurrent control, with seven (12%) randomised controlled trials, and six (10%) non-randomised controlled studies. A total of 109 interventions were evaluated in 61 included studies. On-site or outreach HBV screening and linkage to HBV clinical care coordination were the most frequent interventions, conducted in 27 and 26 studies, respectively. Question 1 We found no studies reporting HBV incidence as the study outcome. One study conducted in remote area demonstrated that an intervention including education of pregnant women and training village health volunteers enhanced coverage of HBV birth dose vaccination (93% post-intervention, vs. 81% pre-intervention), but no data of HBV incidence among infants were reported. Question 2 Study outcomes most relevant to the HBV burden for people in the community with HBV included, HBV diagnosis, linkage to HBV care, and HBV vaccination coverage. Among randomised controlled trials aimed at enhancing HBV screening, a meta-analysis was conducted including three studies which implemented an intervention including community face-to-face education focused on HBV and/or liver cancer among migrants from high HBV prevalence areas. This analysis demonstrated a significantly higher HBV testing uptake in intervention groups with the likelihood of HBV testing 3.6 times higher among those participating in education programs compared to the control groups (OR: 3.62, 95% CI 2.72, 4.88). In another analysis, including 25 studies evaluating an intervention to enhance HBV screening, a pooled estimate of 66% of participants received HBV testing following the study intervention (95%CI: 58-75%), with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 17-98%; I-square: 99.9%). A stratified analysis by HBV screening strategy demonstrated that in the studies providing participants with on-site HBV testing, the proportion receiving HBV testing (80%, 95%CI: 72-87%) was significantly higher compared to the studies referring participants to an external site for HBV testing (54%, 95%CI: 37-71%). In the studies implementing an intervention to enhance linkage of people diagnosed with HBV infection to clinical care, the interventions included different components and varied across studies. The most common component was post-test counselling followed by assistance with scheduling clinical appointments, conducted in 52% and 38% of the studies, respectively. In meta-analysis, a pooled estimate of 73% of people with HBV infection were linked to HBV clinical care (95%CI: 64-81%), with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 28-100%; I-square: 99.2%). A stratified analysis by study population demonstrated that in the studies among general population in high prevalence countries, 94% of people (95%CI: 88-100%) who received the study intervention were linked to care, significantly higher than 72% (95%CI: 61-83%) in studies among migrants from high prevalence area living in a country with low prevalence. In 19 studies, HBV vaccination uptake was assessed after an intervention, among which one study assessed birth dose vaccination among infants, one study assessed vaccination in elementary school children and 17 studies assessed vaccination in adults. Among studies assessing adult vaccination, a pooled estimate of 38% (95%CI: 21-56%) of people initiated vaccination, with high heterogeneity across studies (range: 0.5-93%; I square: 99.9%). A stratified analysis by HBV vaccination strategy demonstrated that in the studies providing on-site vaccination, the uptake was 78% (95%CI: 62-94%), significantly higher compared to 27% (95%CI: 13-42%) in studies referring participants to an external site for vaccination. Conclusion This systematic review identified a wide variety of interventions, mostly multi-component interventions, to enhance HBV screening, linkage to HBV clinical care, and HBV vaccination coverage. High heterogeneity was observed in effectiveness of interventions in all three domains of screening, linkage to care, and vaccination. Strategies identified to boost the effectiveness of interventions included providing on-site HBV testing and vaccination (versus referral for testing and vaccination) and including community education focussed on HBV or liver cancer in an HBV screening program. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of more novel interventions (e.g., point of care testing) and interventions specifically including Indigenous populations, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, and people incarcerated.
