Abstract:
Diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the thymus (NECT) is the significant problem in oncology. On the clinical course these tumors are much more aggressive than epithelial tumors of the thymus. In most of observations in NECTs there is pronounced macro- and microinvasion in the mediastinal tissue and in 30% of patients there are reveled remote metastases. The study included 17 NECT patients. Surgery is the only radical method in the treatment of such patients. 17 NECT patients were operated, 3 of them were operated again due to incomplete operations in other clinics. The vast majority of patients (58.8%) at the time of visiting had advanced stage of the disease. Out of the entire group in 7 patients NECT was associated with ectopic syndrome of varying severity. According to long-term results after surgical treatment of the overall 5-year survival rate was 62.2%.

BackgroundThe pretreatment neuropsychological profile of drug-resistant patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) referred for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may differ from that of their drug-respondent MDD counterparts. Such differences could help in identifying distinct MDD subtypes, thus offering insights into the neuropathology underlying differential treatment responses.MethodDepressed patients with ECT referral (ECTs), depressed patients with no ECT referral (NECTs) and non-psychiatric Controls (matched groups,n=15) were assessed with memory and executive function tests from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).ResultsECTs scored significantly lower than NECTs in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE;p=0.01). NECTs performed worse than Controls in the Paired Associates Learning (PAL) task (p<0.03; Control/NECTp<0.01) and the Spatial Recognition Memory (SRM) task (p<0.05; Controls/NECTsp<0.05); ECTs performed between Controls and NECTs, not differing from either. In the Intra/Extradimensional (IED) set-shifting task, ECTs performed worse that Controls and NECTS (IED:p<0.01; Controls/ECTsp<0.01), particularly in the shift phases, which suggests reduced attentional flexibility.

ECTs showed executive deficits, particularly in attentional flexibility, but mild deficits in tests of visuospatial memory. NECTs presented the opposite pattern. This suggests predominantly frontostriatal involvement in ECTversustemporal involvement in NECT depressives.

Abstract:
We compared the clinical utility of nonenhanced computed tomography (NECT) and intravenous urography (IVU) in patients with classic symptoms of renal colic without evidence of a urine infection. This was a retrospective analysis of IVU and NECT performed in adult patients with suspected renal colic at an emergency department between January 2005 and December 2013. The records of all patients in NECT and IVU groups were reviewed, and the patients were categorized according to the cause of their symptoms. A total of 2218 patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 1525 (68.8%) underwent IVU and 693 (31.2%) underwent NECT. The patients in NECT group were older (45.48 ± 14.96 versus 42.37 ± 13.68 years,p< 0.001), had less gross hematuria (7.6 versus 2.9%,p< 0.001), and were admitted more often (18.6 versus 12.0%,p< 0.001) than the patients in IVU group. Urinary stones were detected in 1413 (63.7%) patients. NECT had a higher detection rate of urolithiasis than IVP (74.0 versus 59.0%,p< 0.001). No significant difference was observed in the incidence of urinary stones greater than 4mm between groups from the radiologic findings (p= 0.79) or the full medical record review (p= 0.87).

Abstract:
Abstract Background Sleeping sickness is an infectious disease transmitted mainly by the Trypanosoma Brucei, with the tsetse fly as a vector. The condition has two stages: The hemolymphatic and the meningo-encephalitic stage. The second stage is caused mainly by the Trypanosoma Brucei Gambiense. The treatment of the second stage has changed from melarsoprol, eflornithine, to now nifurtimox-eflornithine (NECT). This systematic review will focus on the efficacy and the toxicity of the medication. Methods We use PRISMA and MOOSE protocol for this review. On figure 1, we detail the methodology used for the extraction of information from the systematic review. To assess the study's bias, we used Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for risk assessment of the clinical trials and the Robins I tool for the observational studies. Results We collected four clinical trials and two observational studies after an extensive search. Three clinical trials showed that NECT was non-inferior to eflornithine with the following cure rates (NECT VS eflornithine): 1) 96.3% vs. 94.1% ; 2) 90.9% vs. 88.9%; 3) 91.6% vs. 96.5%. An additional clinical trial revealed that the proportion of patient discharge from the hospital was 98.4% (619/629); 95% CI [97.1%; 99.1%]). The two observational studies discussed the pharmacovigilance of the drug and toxicity related to NECT. In one study, patients treated with NECT, 589 (86%) experienced at least one adverse effect (AE) during treatment, and 70 (10.2%) experience serious AE. On average, children experienced fewer AEs than adults. In the other study at least one AE was described in 1043 patients (60.1%), and Serious AE was reported in 19 patients (1.1% of treated), leading to nine deaths (case fatality rate of 0.5%). The major limitations of the studies were the lack of blinding because most of them were open-label. Also, there was heterogenicity in the definition of the outcomes in the observational studies. PRISMA Flow Chart Conclusion NECT is not inferior to eflornithine, and the proportion of patients discharged from the hospital alive showed favorable results. The observational studies revealed a high frequency of AE. However, NECT is more convenient and safe than Eflornithine and Melarsoprol. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

ObjectiveTo investigate the ability of T2* and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR sequences to detect hemosiderin deposition 3 months after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in comparison with early non-enhanced CT (NECT) as a gold standard.Materials and methodsFrom September 2008 through May 2013, patients with aneurysmal SAH were included if a NECT less than 24 h after the onset of symptoms showed a SAH, and MRI, including T2* and FLAIR sequences, was performed 3 months later. All aneurysms were treated endovascularly. NECT and MR sequences were blindly analyzed for the presence of SAH (NECT) or hemosiderin deposition (MRI). When positive, details of the spatial distribution of SAH or hemosiderin deposits were noted. Sensitivities were calculated for each patient. Sensitivities, specificities, and positive predictive values (PPVs) were calculated for each location.ResultsForty-nine patients (mean age 52.9 years) were included. Bleeding-related patterns were identified in 43 patients (87.8%) on T2* and 10 patients (20.4%) on FLAIR. T2* was highly predictive of the location of the initial hemorrhage, especially in the Sylvian cisterns (PPVs 95% and 100%) and the anterior interhemispheric fissure (PPV 90%).ConclusionsThe T2* sequence can detect and localize a previous SAH a few months after aneurysmal bleeding.

Abstract:
Background: Cerebral collateral circulation is necessary to maintain cerebral blood flow and penumbra when arterial insufficiency occurred. Only a few studies about collateral status on development of malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAi) have been documented. Objective: To determine whether collateral status evaluated by single phase computed tomographic angiography (CTA) help prediction of mMCAi in patients with large arterial occlusion whom not received endovascular treatment. Material and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with acute ischemic stroke in anterior circulation in our institute during January 2015 to December 2015. We analyzed clinical data, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) on baseline nonenhanced computed tomography of the brain (NECT brain), and CTA collateral status. Malignant MCA infarction was defined according to clinical criteria. Results: Thirty-five patients were included. Mean age was 68.8±15.56 years. Mean baseline NIHSS and baseline ASPECTS were 17(±5) and 6(±3), respectively. All patients received intravenous thrombolysis. CTA collateral status and baseline NECT ASPECTS significantly correlated with development of mMCAi (P-value = 0.007 and 0.001). Only baseline NECT ASPECTS was an independent predictive factor for mMCAi (OR 0.63, 95%CI 0.46-0.86, P-value =0.004). Patients with baseline NECT ASPECTS ? 7 were more likely develop mMCAi (OR 14.29 95%CI 1.57-129.94, P-value 0.018). Conclusion: In acute stroke patients with proximal MCA or ICA occlusion received intravenous thrombolysis alone, baseline NECT ASPECTS and CTA collateral status were significantly correlate with development of mMCAi. However, only baseline ASPECTS ? 7 was an independent predictor for mMCAi.

Abstract:
Background Nifurtimox-eflornithine combination therapy (NECT) for the treatment of second stage gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) was added to the World Health Organization’s Essential Medicines List in 2009 after demonstration of its non-inferior efficacy compared to eflornithine therapy. A study of NECT use in the field showed acceptable safety and high efficacy until hospital discharge in a wide population, including children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and patients with a HAT treatment history. We present here the effectiveness results after the 24-month follow-up visit. Methodology/Principal findings In a multicenter, open label, single arm phase IIIb study, second stage gambiense HAT patients were treated with NECT in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Clinical cure was defined 24 months after treatment as survival without clinical and/or parasitological signs of HAT. Of the 629 included patients, 619 (98.4%) were discharged alive after treatment and were examined for the presence of trypanosomes, white blood cell count in cerebro-spinal fluid, and disease symptoms. The clinical cure rate of 94.1% was comparable for all subpopulations analyzed at the 24-month follow-up visit. Self-reported adverse events during follow-up were few and concerned mainly nervous system disorders, infections, and gastro-intestinal disorders. Overall, 28 patients (4.3%) died during the course of the trial. The death of 16 of the 18 patients who died during the follow-up period was assessed as unlikely or not related to NECT. Within 24 months, eight patients (1.3%) relapsed and received rescue treatment. Sixteen patients were completely lost to follow-up. Conclusions/Significance NECT treatment administered under field conditions was effective and sufficiently well tolerated, no major concern arose for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women. Patients with a previous HAT treatment history had the same response as those who were naïve. In conclusion, NECT was confirmed as effective and appropriate for use in a broad population, including vulnerable subpopulations. Trial registration The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00906880.

Abstract:
Introduction: Cranial nonenhanced CT (NECT) imaging in hyperacute ischemic stroke is rarely used for assessing arterial obstruction of middle cerebral artery by identifying hyperdense artery sign (HAS). Considering, however, its growing importance due to its impact on the decision-making process of thrombolysis with or without mechanical thrombectomy improved sensitivity to HAS is necessary, particularly in the group of less experienced clinicians being frequently the first one assessing the presence of HAS on NECT. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different NECT image reconstructions on the correct detection of hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign in a cohort of observers with lower experience level on NECT. Particularly, MIP image reconstructions were expected to be useful for less experienced observers due to both strengthening of the hyperdensity of HAS and streamlining to less image slices. Methods: Twenty-five of 100 patients’ NECT image data presented with HAS. Sixteen observers with lower practice level on NECT (10 radiologists and 6 neurologists) evaluated independently the 3 image reconstructions of each data set with thin slice 1.5 mm, thick slab 5 mm, and 6-mm maximum intensity projection (MIP) and rated the presence of HAS in middle cerebral artery. A GEE model with random observer effect was used to examine the influence of the 3 image reconstructions on sensitivity to HAS. A linear mixed effects regression model was used to investigate the ranking of detectability of HAS. Interrater reliability was determined by Fleiss’ kappa coefficient (κ). Results: Recognition of HAS and sensitivity to HAS significantly differed between the 3 image reconstructions (p = 0.0106). MIP and thin slice reconstructions yielded each on average the highest sensitivities with 73% compared to thick slab reconstruction with 45% sensitivity. The interobserver reliability was fair (κ, 0.3–0.4). Detectability of HAS was significantly easier and better visible ranked on MIP and thin slice reconstructions compared to thick slab (p < 0.05). Conclusion: MIP and thin slice reconstructions increased the sensitivity to HAS (73%), whereas thick slab reconstructions seemed to be less appropriate (45%).

Abstract:
Purpose. The aim of this study is to develop and compare performance of radiomics signatures using texture features extracted from noncontrast enhanced CT (NECT) and contrast enhanced CT (CECT) images for preoperative predicting risk categorization and clinical stage of thymomas. Materials and Methods. Between January 2010 and October 2018, 199 patients with surgical resection and histopathologically confirmed thymoma were enrolled in this retrospective study. We extracted 841 radiomics features separately from volume of interest (VOI) in NECT and CECT images. The features with poor reproducibility and highly redundancy were removed. Then a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method (LASSO) logistic regression model with 10-fold cross validation was used for further feature selection and radiomics signatures build. The predictive performances of radiomics signatures were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) between radiomics signatures were compared by using Delong test. Result. In differentiating high risk thymomas from low risk thymomas, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.801(95% CI 0.740–0.863), 0.752 and 0.767 for radiomics signature based on NECT images, and 0.827 (95% CI 0.771 -0.884), 0.798, and 0.722 for radiomics signature based on CECT images. But there was no significant difference (p=0.365) between them. In differentiating advanced stage thymomas from early stage thymomas, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.829 (95%CI 0.757-0.900), 0.712, and 0.806 for radiomics signature based on NECT images and 0.860 (95%CI 0.803-0.917), 0.699, and 0.889 for radiomics signature based on CECT images. There was no significant difference (p=0.069) between them. The accuracy was 0.819 for radiomics signature based on NECT images, 0.869 for radiomics signature based on CECT images, and 0.779 for radiologists. Both radiomics signatures had a better performance than radiologists. But there was significant difference (p = 0.025) only between CECT radiomics signature and radiologists. Conclusion. Radiomics signatures based on texture analysis from NECT and CECT images could be utilized as noninvasive biomarkers for differentiating high risk thymomas from low risk thymomas and advanced stage thymomas from early stage thymoma. As a quantitative method, radiomics signature can provide complementary diagnostic information and help to plan personalized treatment for patients with thymomas.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the adaptation and feasibility of the narrative module of an intervention, Narrative Enhancement and Cognitive Therapy (NECT), for people with late-onset psychosis (LOP). Part one of the thesis is a literature review examining the outcomes of adapted psychological interventions for psychosis and exploring the adaptation processes where reported. The 11 papers are presented according to the study design quality, followed by a discussion on the three reported adaptation models and ad-hoc adaptation processes. Part two of the thesis is an empirical study which investigated the adaptation process and feasibility of the narrative module of NECT for people in late-onset psychosis. The intervention was delivered by NHS and evaluated using a feasibility guidance (Orsmond and Cohn, 2015). The recruitment process for this study was jointly conducted with Lucy Smyth (2017). She examined the process and content of life history and present-time narratives of people with late-onset psychosis through semi-structured interviews. Part three is a critical appraisal. It will reflect on the process of conducting the research, including: research design, research governance, group selection, and implementation fidelity.

Full text
Abstract:
In this article, we study the school bus routing and scheduling problem with transfers arising in the field of nonperiodic public transportation systems. It deals with the transportation of pupils from home to their school in the morning taking the possibility that pupils may change buses into account. Allowing transfers has several consequences. On the one hand, it allows more flexibility in the bus network structure and can, therefore, help to reduce operating costs. On the other hand, transfers have an impact on the service level: the perceived service quality is lower due to the existence of transfers; however, at the same time, user ride times may be reduced and, thus, transfers may also have a positive impact on service quality. The main objective is the minimization of the total operating costs. We develop a heuristic solution framework to solve this problem and compare it with two solution concepts that do not consider transfers. The impact of transfers on the service level in terms of time loss (or user ride time) and the number of transfers is analyzed. Our results show that allowing transfers reduces total operating costs significantly while average and maximum user ride times are comparable to solutions without transfers. (authors' abstract)

Abstract:
“What does it mean, to make a genuine generalization, to create an objective concrete abstraction of a phenomenon?”—Evald Ilyenkov. As Guy Debord writes in his Society of the Spectacle, “the lack of general historical life also means that individual life as yet has no history.” These poems are my process of coming to understand history, and many of them are critiques of histories per se. If, as Frank O’Hara writes, “these anxieties remain erect,” they also shape the poems that I have written here. I want to be in dialogue with the spectacle that shapes postmodernism. I want to live in communication with the memories of events that have shaped my speech over the years. The title is a struggle to regain a home while not forgetting the displacement of the proverbial poet, a poet to whom I am forever indebted and probably likely to become.

Full text
Abstract:
Presentations of three potential nest intruders were used to investigate house wren nest defense behavior, while regular nest box checks provided information regarding house wren nest-destroying behavior. During nest defense trials, male wrens were typically more active in defense than females in the egg stage but no intersexual differences existed in the nestling stage. Males' greater defensiveness could be an extension of their territory defense role. Defense vocalizations were sex biased, with males giving primarily song calls and females giving chatter calls. Both sexes maintained or lowered their defense levels from egg to nestling stage, possibly due to decreased offspring vulnerability. House wrens altered their defense behaviors among intruder species, depending on the type of threat. Males exhibited greater defense levels against the house wren model compared to the bluebird or cowbird model in the egg stage but showed no differences among model species in the nestling stage. Females exhibited no defense differences among model species. Male defense levels were affected by their breeding strategy, as attentive males were more aggressive toward the house wren and cowbird models than non-attentive males. Attentive males discriminated among intruder species while non-attentive males did not. Lack of male attentiveness, due to polygamy or attempted polygamy, appeared to be potentially costly to females, regardless of their order of pairing with the male. House wren nest destroying behavior (NDB) varied with respect to the timing of house wren nest attacks, the abandonment and reacquisition of nests following a wren attack, and the status of neighboring house wren nests at the time of a nest attack. Some supportive evidence was found for the existing NDB hypotheses, but no single hypothesis was completely supported. House wren NDB may serve several functions but may ultimately depend on house wren population density.

Abstract:

Denne oppgaven tar for seg temaet e-læring, og spesielt samarbeidslæring over internett. Gjennom å utvikle store deler av et komplett e-læringssystem, har vi sett på teknologbruk og funksjoner i praksis. Den aller største delen av prosjektet har vært å implementere dette systemet, men i den forbindelse har vi også brukt mye tid på planlegging og refleksjon. Dette har gitt oss mange erfaringer med hvordan e-læring kan og bør legges opp. Vi har spesielt fokusert på å ta i bruk teknologier som i liten grad er utnyttet i e-læring i dag. Samarbeidsfunksjoner har stått mye i fokus, og vi har sett på måter å gjøre både elev-lærer- og elev-elev-interaksjonen over internett bedre. Særlig gjelder dette bruk av synkron kommunikasjon. Vi har også sett en del på personlige verktøy og systemet vårt som en helhetlig IT-løsning for skoler. Det har samtidig vært et mål for oppgaven å øke bredden i e-læring gjennom å forsøke å tilpasse systemet til flere forskjellige undervisningstyper og aldersgrupper. Systemet vårt ble som en del av oppgaven vist frem til et lite utvalg personer, for å få noen tilbakemeldinger på e-læringssystemet vårt. Formålet var å gjennomføre et case study, der vi ser hvordan de løsningene vi har diskutert oss frem til, ble mottatt av andre. Studien er utført i veldig liten skala, og kan i liten grad brukes til å generalisere holdninger til e-læring. Den kan derimot være et utgangspunkt for videre forskning, gjennom å se på de momentene vi prøvde ut og hvilke reaksjoner vi mottok. Resultatet fra testpersonene var overordnet positivt, og vi fikk spesielt god tilbakemelding på at synkron kommunikasjon var ønskelig. Vi har ikke hatt anledning til å legge inn særlig avanserte synkrone funksjoner, men det lille vi hadde med vakte stor interesse. Synkrone kommunikasjonsmetoder ser ut til å være avgjørende for hvor lett det er å samarbeide med andre i systemet. Her er det viktig å føle at det er noen i den andre enden, og den følelsen gir ikke asynkrone metoder i så stor grad. Studien viste videre at vi ikke hadde klart å tilpasse systemet vårt så godt til alle aldersgrupper som vi hadde håpet. Vi ser imidlertid at ved å bruke mer tid på å utvikle det, kan man forholdsvis enkelt forbedre brukervennligheten. Dersom man bare er villig til å ta i bruk det nyeste av teknologi i dag, er det få begrensninger i forhold til hva slags informasjon man kan overføre.

Abstract:
Accurate next-day air quality prediction is essential to enable warning and prevention measures for cities and individuals to cope with potential air pollution, such as vehicle restriction, factory shutdown, and limiting outdoor activities. The problem is challenging because air quality is affected by a diverse set of complex factors. There has been prior work on short-term (e.g., next 6 hours) prediction, however, there is limited research on modeling local weather influences or fusing heterogeneous data for next-day air quality prediction. This paper tackles this problem through three key contributions: (1) we leverage multi-source data, especially high-frequency grid-based weather data, to model air pollutant dynamics at station-level; (2) we add convolution operators on grid weather data to capture the impacts of various weather parameters on air pollutant variations; and (3) we automatically group (cross-domain) features based on their correlations, and propose multi-group Encoder-Decoder networks (MGED-Net) to effectively fuse multiple feature groups for next-day air quality prediction. The experiments with real-world data demonstrate the improved prediction performance of MGED-Net over state-of-the-art solutions (4.2% to 9.6% improvement in MAE and 9.2% to 16.4% improvement in RMSE).

Abstract:
As the world economy rapidly decarbonises to meet global climate goals, the export credit sector must keep pace. Countries representing over two-thirds of global GDP have now set net zero targets, as have hundreds of private financial institutions. Public and private initiatives are now working to develop new standards and methodologies for shifting investment portfolios to decarbonisation pathways based on science. However, export credit agencies (ECAs) are only at the beginning stages of this seismic transformation. On the one hand, the net zero transition creates risks to existing business models and clients for the many ECAs, while on the other, it creates a significant opportunity for ECAs to refocus their support to help countries and trade partners meet their climate targets. ECAs can best take advantage of this transition, and minimise its risks, by setting net zero targets and adopting credible plans to decarbonise their portfolios. Collaboration across the sector can be a powerful tool for advancing this goal.
