To better prepare the educators who will guide students into their global future, educational leadership programs have become more focused on developing globally competent students who are not only more marketable, but who are also better prepared to make positive contributions to a global society. This chapter portrays that cross institutions in America there is a need to prepare students more adequately for the challenges of an increased global workforce. In the chapters, we follow the experiences of two scholars as they progressed through their development of becoming intercultural responsive educators by means of a study abroad program. From this experience, reflection questions encompass self-reflection about global perspectives. Also, interactions of others who hold various interests, values, and perspectives as they related to their growth in leadership. Situational leadership as a part of a critical skill set will also be examined.

Serum immunoglobulins were measured in one hundred and eighty-four healthy controls. One hundred and fifty-nine of these were also HLA typed. IgG levels did not differ with sex or HLA-B8 status. IgM levels did not differ with HLA-B8 status but were significantly higher in females than males. IgA levels were lower in females than males; they were also lower in HLA-B8 positive compared with HLA-B8 negative individuals; the lowest IgA levels were found in HLA-B8 positive females. The IgA variation may be relevant to the higher incidence of certain disorders among HLA-B8 positive individuals and among females.

The paper describes work undertaken in North Wales in 1967 and 1968 in which panchromatic and colour air photographs were used in the mapping of vegetation and in the study of other ground surface features. The problems of relating a priori classification schemes to the categories distinguished by air photo-interpretation are discussed and the case stated for developing classifications which enable more benefit to be derived from the advantages of air photo-ecology. Resume Cette communication decrit quelques etudes de la vegetation et d'autres proprietes de la surface terrestre faites dans le nord du pays des Galles en 1967 et 1968, au moyen des photos aeriennes panchrometiques et en couleur.

4-Quinolyl isothiocyanates were synthesized in a regiospecific fashion from the corresponding 4-chloroquinolines and silver thiocyanate in refluxing toluene. The products were isolated in quantitative yield and high purity (>95%) by simple filtration and concentration. Reactivity and mechanism of the reaction are discussed. The new approach would provide a new mean which had been lacking for the synthesis of functionalized 4-quinolinyl isothiocyanate.

The solid-phase synthesis of a dipeptide derived 2-amino-3-oxohexahydroindolizino[8,7-b]indole-5-carboxylate system (IBTM) is described. The IBTM moiety is formed via a solid-phase mediated Pictet–Spengler reaction of N-terminal tryptophan and the 4-{N-[1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)-3-methylbutyl]amino}benzyl (Dmab) ester of Fmoc protected aspartic acid β-aldehyde followed by γ-lactamization. This synthesis allows the regio- and stereoselective incorporation of a dipeptide surrogate of type II′ β-turns. The procedure is easily adaptable to combinatorial synthesis and a 576-member library was synthesized.

Wild-caught synanthropic flies were tested for the presence of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia on their exoskeletons and in their digestive tracks by fluorescent in situ hybridization and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated monoclonal antibody (MAb) against Cryptosporidium and Giardia cell wall epitopes. The levels of C. parvum were positively correlated with the levels of G. lamblia, indicating a common source of contamination. The majority of oocysts and cysts were potentially viable (C. parvum = 80% and G. lamblia = 69%). More G. lamblia cysts occurred on the exoskeleton of the flies than within the digestive tracts; the opposite relationship was observed for C. parvum. No genotype other than C. parvum G2 was found to be associated with flies. Because filth flies carry viable C. parvum oocysts and G. lamblia cysts acquired naturally from unhygienic sources, they can be involved in the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis. Fluorescent oligonucleotide probes used together with FITC-conjugated MAb represent a convenient and cost-effective technique for rapid and specific identification of human-infectious species of Cryptosporidium and Giardia mechanically transported by flies, and for the assessment of the viability of these pathogens.

The authors conducted a survey of small streams to evaluate the effects of centralized and onsite wastewater treatment on the occurrence of selected traditional and emerging contaminants in small streams in the upper Neuse River basin, North Carolina. An undeveloped site was included to assess effects of residential land use activities on stream quality. Concentrations of nutrients and ions were higher in samples from streams in residential sites than from the stream in an undeveloped area. Overall, streams draining residential areas showed relatively small differences with respect to type of wastewater treatment. Two sites, however--one in an area of centralized wastewater treatment apparently near a suspected sewer line leak, and the second in an area of onsite wastewater treatment--showed effects of wastewater. Organic wastewater compounds were detected more frequently in samples from these two sites than from the other sites. Optical brighteners levels were correlated (r2 = .88) with the number of organic wastewater and pharmaceutical compounds detected at the residential sites and could potentially serve as a screening method to assess wastewater effects on small streams.

Tissue Polypeptide Specific-Antigen (TPS), a marker of cell proliferation, was evaluated in 258 patients, 216 with breast carcinoma and 42 with benign breast disease. TPS was measured pre-operatively in 98 patients and correlated with stage of disease showing a progression from Stage I through to Stage IV disease. TPS increased with increasing tumour size, however, TPS levels did not correlate with the number of involved lymph nodes. TPS was measured during follow-up in 118 patients, 64 had no evidence of recurrence, 23 had evidence of loco-regional recurrence and 31 had evidence of metastatic disease. TPS levels were significantly elevated in all categories of recurrence and were highest in patients with disseminated disease. Patients with elevated TPS during follow-up were more likely to experience disease progression on further follow-up. This preliminary study demonstrates that this marker may be useful as an index of tumour burden and deserves further evaluation in a large population to determine whether it can aid in the identification and follow-up of patients with recurrent disease.

AIMS--To compare the two breast tumour markers, CA15-3 and mucinous-like carcinoma associated antigen (MCA), using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. METHODS--One hundred and ninety six patients "presenting" with breast carcinoma had serum CA15-3 and MCA concentrations measured. RESULTS--Using these markers as indicators of stage IV disease at the recommended laboratory level, true positive rates (TPR) and false positive rates (FPR) were obtained as follows: CA15-3 TPR = 75%, FPR = 7.4%, MCA TPR = 80%, FPR = 59.1%. By increasing the CA15-3 cutoff level to 45 U/ml, a TPR and FPR of 75% and 0.6%, respectively were obtained. By increasing the MCA cutoff level to 23 U/ml, a TPR and FPR of 65% and 2.3%, respectively, were obtained. CONCLUSIONS--Using ROC curve analysis shows that CA15-3 is a superior indicator of metastatic breast disease than MCA at recommended laboratory levels, and by altering the cutoff points, the specificity and sensitivity for both these markers can be improved.

SummaryIn an open, non-comparative, prospective 12 month trial of continuous oestrogen treatment, with the addition of low dose micronised oral progesterone for the first 23 days of each calendar month, endometrial biopsies were obtained from postmenopausal women (n = 40) before treatment, and during the 6th and 12th months of treatment in the late progesterone phase of the cycle (day 20–23), for histopathological analysis.The low fixed dose progesterone administered for 23 days each month resulted in endometrial atrophy in the majority of patients and produced suboptimal progestational effects in others but was not associated with any serious hyperstimulation. This result contradicts the hypothesis that duration of progesterone treatment is more important than the dose in protecting the endometrium in hormone replacement treatment. Both the dose and duration of progesterone administration are important in protecting oestrogenised endometrium.

CA 19-9 is a tumour marker which has been used widely in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Elevated levels are associated with advanced disease at presentation and disease progression during follow-up. CA19-9 levels may also be elevated in a variety of other malignant and benign conditions. This study examined the significance and implications of elevated CA19-9 levels. An analysis of all CA19-9 measurements performed over a 4 yr period was undertaken and 204 patients with elevated CA19-9 levels were identified. One hundred and thirty patients (63.7 per cent) had malignant conditions and 74 (36.3 per cent) had benign conditions or no definite cause was found. There was a significant correlation between CA19-9 levels and CEA (r = 0.3137; P0.001) as well as alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, bilirubin, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase and lactate dehydrogenase. CA19-9 levels were significantly lower in patients with benign pathology than those with malignant pathology. Similar differences were observed for CEA. CA19-9 levels were in fact highest in patients with pancreatic carcinoma (P0.05) while no significant differences were observed for CEA. In conclusion CA19-9 may be elevated in both benign as well as malignant conditions and interpretation of CA19-9 results must be made in light of the clinical condition of the patient.

Traditionally, carboplatin dosage is based on the Calvert formula. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and creatinine clearance (CrCl) are often used interchangeably in this formula. The modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation is now routinely available to estimate GFR (eGFR). We performed a retrospective analysis of carboplatin dosage in our institute. Calvert formula derived carboplatin dose using eGFR calculated from the MDRD equation was compared to estimated CrCl from the Cockcroft-Gault and Jelliffe equations. Ninety-two carboplatin treatment episodes were recorded. eGFR and CrCl correlated reasonably well with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.88. The correlation was weakest at lower levels of serum creatinine. Correcting eGFR for body surface area resulted in a tighter correlation (r = 0.94). The MDRD derived eGFR is readily available and may prove very useful in calculating carboplatin dosage for patients with impaired renal function.

Previously reported work on path and gate delay tests fail to analyze path reconvergences when a bounded gate delay model is used. While robust path delay tests are of the highest quality, most path faults are only testable nonrobustly. Many non-robust tests are usually found but, in practice, are easily invalidated by hazards. The invalidation of non-robust tests occurs primarily due to non-zero delays of off-path circuit elements that may reconverge. Thus, non-robust tests are of limited value when process variations cause gate delays to vary. For gate delay faults, failure to recognize the correlations among the ambiguity waveforms at inputs of reconvergent gates cause fault coverages to be optimistic. This paper enhances a recently published ambiguity simulation algorithm [5] to accurately measure both non-robust path and gate delay coverages for the bounded delay model. Experimental results for the ISCAS circuits show accurate results are often 20-30% less than the optimistic ones that fail to analyze signal reconvergences.

Immunology ,Immunology and Allergy - Abstract
Thymocyte negative selection is thought to cull T cells with strong self-reactivity and maintain T cells with non-self-specificity. While initial work implicated Bim as a critical mediator of thymocyte negative selection, its role in the process has been controversial. Thus, we re-examined thymocyte development in mice with global and T cell specific loss of Bim. We found that global Bim-/- mice had a striking accumulation of DN4 thymocytes expressing high levels of surface TCR, which failed to generate DP cells in OP9-DL1 culture. Interestingly, CD4Cre-driven deletion of Bim promoted DN4 cells, but later, dLckCre-driven deletion of Bim did not. Combined, these data show that the aberrant DN4 cells in Bim-/- mice were once DP cells, but had lost co-receptor expression. Investigating the fate of these cells, we found that splenic DN T and gut CD8αα T cells were increased in Bim-/- mice. While IL-15 is critical for both DN/CD8αα T cells, the additional loss of Bim partially restored DN/CD8αα T cells in IL-15 deficient mice, suggesting that IL-15 signals antagonize Bim to promote DN T and CD8αα T cells. Finally, TCR or IL-15 signals were sufficient to promote expression of both CD8αα and the gut homing receptor CCR9 on splenic DN T cells. In conclusion, these data further delineate the role of Bim on thymocyte fate and DN/CD8αα T cell development; and show that dLckCre-Bimf/f mice can isolate the effects of Bim on peripheral T cell survival without affecting thymic selection.

Long term field studies and laboratory experiments demonstrated that synanthropic filth flies can mechanically transmit infectious oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum, an anthropozoonotic protozoan parasite which significantly contributes to the mortality of immunocompromised or immunosuppressed people. C. parvum oocysts are acquired from unhygienic sources, and can pass trough fly gastrointestinal track without alteration of their infectivity and can be subsequently deposited on visited surfaces. Transmission of the oocysts by adult flies occurs via: (1) mechanical dislodgement from the exoskeleton; (2) fecal deposition; and (3) regurgitation, i.e., vomits. Filth flies can cause human or animal cryptosporidiosis via deposition of infectious oocysts on the visited foodstuf, and the biology and ecology of synanthropic filth flies indicate that their potential for mechanical transmission of C. parvum is high.

Objectives: A significant proportion of the older population may exhibit vitamin D insufficiency. We sought to establish the proportion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) insufficient individuals in an older female cohort presenting for acute medical admission and how they responded to supplementation. Design: A prospective cohort study. Setting: Hospital admissions followed up as a population-based study. Subjects: A total of 114 consecutive female acute medical admissions aged over 65 years from November 2003 to January 2004 were enrolled. All admissions with hypercalcaemia, metabolic bone disease (other than osteoporosis/osteomalacia) and creatinine >= 150 mu mol/l were excluded. Interventions: iPTH, calcium and 25OHD levels were measured in each patient. Of the total, 22 were already receiving calcium and vitamin D supplementation at enrolment. The remaining 92 were commenced on 800 IU of vitamin D and 1 g calcium, and levels were reassessed after supplementation for 3 months. Results: 25-Hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency, as defined by a 25OHD concentration of < 50 nmol/l, was present in 86 (75.4%) patients at initial assessment (mean 35.8 nmol/l, s.d. 23.3). Secondary hyperparathyroidism was present in only 36.7% of those with 25OHD deficiency at baseline. Of the total, 51 (44.7%) patients presented for follow-up. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D concentration increased in this group from 42.1 nmol/l (s.d. 26.6) to 59.5 nmol/l (s.d. 27.4) after supplementation, P < 0.001, but 18(35.3%) still remained deficient. There was no significant change in iPTH or calcium following supplementation. Assessment of compliance revealed 6 (11.7%) admitted to partial or non-compliance. Conclusions: Insufficiency of 25OHD was very common in this cohort. Despite calcium and vitamin D supplementation, 25OHD concentrations failed to reach normality in a significant proportion. Maintaining vitamin D and calcium intake at the level of current recommended doses may not be sufficient to ensure adequate 25OHD stores.

Wild-caught synanthropic flies were tested for the presence of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia on their exoskeletons and in their digestive tracks by fluorescent in situ hybridization and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated monoclonal antibody (MAb) against Cryptosporidium and Giardia cell wall epitopes. The levels of C. parvum were positively correlated with the levels of G. lamblia, indicating a common source of contamination. The majority of oocysts and cysts were potentially viable (C. parvum = 80% and G. lamblia = 69%). More G. lamblia cysts occurred on the exoskeleton of the flies than within the digestive tracts; the opposite relationship was observed for C. parvum. No genotype other than C. parvum G2 was found to be associated with flies. Because filth flies carry viable C. parvum oocysts and G. lamblia cysts acquired naturally from unhygienic sources, they can be involved in the epidemiology of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis. Fluorescent oligonucleotide probes used together with FITC-conjugated MAb represent a convenient and cost-effective technique for rapid and specific identification of human-infectious species of Cryptosporidium and Giardia mechanically transported by flies, and for the assessment of the viability of these pathogens.

Hyponatremia (HN) is the commonest electrolyte abnormality in elderly patients. Its etiology in this setting is poorly understood. In this study, the authors aim to compare the hemodynamic and hormonal responses of a group of older patients with a predisposition to HN with a group of age-matched controls. We assessed hemodynamic and hormonal responses to postural challenge in 15 patients over age 65 with serum sodium concentrations of less than 130 mM (mean 128.7 mM) and 15 age-matched controls with normal sodium concentrations. Patients remained recumbent for 1 h and stood for the second. Blood was drawn at baseline and at 15 min intervals. Blood pressure (BP) and pulse rates (PR) were monitored electronically. Plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), renin and aldosterone were determined periodically during the study period. No difference in BP between groups was noted. PR increased significantly in the HN group only within 3 min of standing (from 71 +/- 4 to 86 +/- 5, P

CA 15–3 has been most widely used as a serum tumor marker in follow-up and detection of breast cancer recurrence. In this study we have specifically focused upon the prognostic implications and utility of preoperative CA 15–3 levels. We have identified on our database 414 patients with breast cancer in whom serial levels of the serum tumor marker CA 15–3 had been determined at diagnosis and follow-up. We have analyzed the follow-up and clinical outcomes in these patients and from this data we have assessed the potential of CA 15–3 as a predictor of five-year overall and disease-free survival. Our results show that an initially elevated CA 15–3 level is associated with a very poor prognosis in both early and late stage disease. Elevated pre-biopsy CA 15–3 levels are associated with 14% five-year disease-free survival rates and 17% overall survival rates at five years. In contrast, normal CA 15–3 levels are associated with 47% five-year disease-free survival rates and 54% overall survival rates at five years (p

The usefulness of serum measurements of mucin-like carcinoma associated antigen (MCA) in 100 women at presentation with breast cancer was evaluated. Peripheral venous blood was drawn and MCA values determined by radioimmunoassay. Twenty women presenting with benign breast disease and 20 normal women served as controls. There was no difference in the MCA values between the benign breast disease group and the normal group: 4.1 +/- 0.9 units/ml versus 5.0 +/- 0.75 units/ml (mean +/- sem). The following were the MCA values for patients by stage; stage 1: 11.2 +/- 1.02, stage 2: 11.0 +/- 1.29, stage 3: 20.2 +/- 6.7, stage 4: 31 +/- 5.0. Statistical analysis of stage versus controls showed significant elevations only in stage 3 and 4 disease (p0.05). We conclude that MCA may be a useful serum tumour marker only in advanced breast cancer but is unreliable in detection of early breast cancer.

In this study we looked at what useful information cytokeratin fragment detected by antibodies BM 19-21 and KS 19-1 (CYFRA 21.1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neurone-specific enolase (NSE), tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS), and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) gave when measured prospectively. All patients who were suspected of having lung cancer and who underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy in this hospital between July 1994 and May 1995 were included in the study. Of 184 patients, 87 were subsequently found to have intrathoracic malignancy, 93 were found to have benign lung disease and four were lost to follow-up. CYFRA 21.1 was the most efficient marker in differentiating benign from malignant disease, with a sensitivity of 54% and a positive predictive value of 96%. Thirty seven patients who had a negative bronchoscopy subsequently turned out to have malignant disease. Either CYFRA 21.1 or CEA was elevated in 26 (70%) of such patients. Multivariate analysis showed that only CYFRA 21.1 and CEA contributed significantly to the discriminatory power of the data. We conclude that measurement of cytokeratin fragment detected by antibodies BM 19-21 and KS 19-1 and carcinoembryonic antigen at the time of bronchoscopy significantly increased the diagnostic yield in this population and was especially useful in those patients in whom tumour biopsy was not possible at bronchoscopy.

In an open non-comparative prospective trial of 12 months' duration, we investigated the role of a novel hormone replacement therapy regimen in 40 post-menopausal women who sought hormone replacement therapy. The regimen consisted of continuous administration of 0.625 mg of conjugated equine estrogen coupled with a fixed low-dose of micronized oral progesterone administered for 23 days every calendar month. The regimen was well-tolerated, producing no major side-effects and was effective in relieving menopausal symptoms. The study showed that 40% of the women experienced side-effects and 20% withdrew from the study. Half of the 20% of the women who dropped out did so for reasons not related to treatment. All symptomatic women experienced improvement after the 1st month, and virtually all were asymptomatic by the 3rd month of treatment, persisting until the end of the trial with the average number of hot flushes per day declining from the pretreatment levels by 96%. Amenorrhea was observed in 47% of patients, amenorrhea and minimal vaginal bleeding in 78% but acyclic bleeding was present in 28% of those in whom bleeding was re-established. Endometrial atrophy was induced in the majority of patients and no atypical endometrial hyperplasia was encountered. No significant changes were observed in blood glucose or liver enzymes. The mean percentage changes from baseline for serum cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and LDL/HDL ratio were -6%, +32% (p < 0.001), -16% (p < 0.05), +15% (p < 0.05) and -23% (p < 0.05), respectively. The regimen was clinically effective and its apparent lack of major side-effects, the protective effect on the endometrium, the added advantage of minimal vaginal bleeding and the beneficial effect on lipid/lipoprotein levels, offer an attractive therapy and improved compliance with postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy.

In this study of 500 patients with breast carcinoma, we have prospectively assessed the role of preoperative CA 15-3 as a marker of disease burden over a 7 year period. CA 15-3 levels at presentation correlate with stage of disease, tumour size, lymph node status, the presence of metastases and lymphocyte infiltration into the tumour. CA 15-3 alone is not an independent prognostic indicator, although a serum level of > 40 U ml(-1) has a positive predictive value of 83% for the presence of advanced disease. We recommend the routine use of this marker in the preoperative assessment of primary breast carcinoma.

Carcinoma of the breast is characterized by a variable course with prognosis dependent on disease stage at presentation. Paradoxically, some patients with early malignancy demonstrate disease progression within a short time. The role of tumor markers in the management of carcinoma of the breast is controversial. While CA15-3 is the most widely used tumor marker in carcinoma of the breast, its role in the management of patients with early disease is controversial.Since 1986, all patients presenting to our unit with carcinoma of the breast have had serial CA15-3 levels measured. This study evaluates the role of serial CA15-3 levels in the management of a consecutive series of 168 patients with Stage I disease at presentation.The mean preoperative CA15-3 levels at presentation were significantly elevated in patients with Stage I disease compared with patients with benign disease. Sixteen patients had either locoregional (five patients) or metastatic recurrence (11 patients). CA15-3 levels were not elevated in patients with locoregional disease and were significantly elevated in patients with bony metastases and gave a mean lead time of 6.3 months over bone scintigraphy.Serial CA15-3 measurements are an efficient and cost-effective method of monitoring disease progression and have advantages over conventional investigations in patients with early carcinoma of the breast.

errors up to 1 cm in the anterior direction. The resulting DVHs of the two methods were highly similar. When using IMRT for the three cases, robust optimization resulted in less homogeneity in the nominal scenario and more homogeneity in the shifted scenario than the virtual bolus method. For VMAT, robust optimization resulted in more homogeneous plans for all cases and scenarios. Mean dose statistics over the three patient cases are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Mean dose statistics over the three patient cases for the robust optimization method and the virtual bolus method in the nominal scenario and with the patient shifted 1 cm anteriorly (in parentheses). The homogeneity index (HI) is defined as (D2-D98)/D50 and denotes the mean dose.
