2. Proportionally dense subgraphs of maximum size in degree-constrained graphs

Author

Subjects
Computer Science - Computational Complexity
Abstract

A proportionally dense subgraph (PDS) of a graph is an induced subgraph of size at least two such that every vertex in the subgraph has proportionally as many neighbors inside as outside of the subgraph. Then, maxPDS is the problem of determining a PDS of maximum size in a given graph. If we further require that a PDS induces a connected subgraph, we refer to such problem as connected maxPDS. In this paper, we study the complexity of maxPDS with respect to parameters representing the density of a graph and its complement. We consider $\Delta$, representing the maximum degree, $h$, representing the $h$-index, and degen, representing the degeneracy of a graph. We show that maxPDS is NP-hard parameterized by $\Delta,h$ and degen. More specifically, we show that maxPDS is NP-hard on graphs with $\Delta=4$, $h=4$ and degen=2. Then, we show that maxPDS is NP-hard when restricted to dense graphs, more specifically graphs $G$ such that $\Delta(\overline{G})\leq 6$, and graphs $G$ such that $degen(\overline{G}) \leq 2$ and $\overline{G}$ is bipartite, where $\overline{G}$ represents the complement of $G$. On the other hand, we show that maxPDS is polynomial-time solvable on graphs with $h\le2$. Finally, we consider graphs $G$ such that $h(\overline{G})\le 2$ and show that there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for finding a PDS of maximum size in such graphs. This result implies polynomial-time complexity on graphs with $n$ vertices of minimum degree $n-3$, i.e. graphs $G$ such that $\Delta(\overline{G})\le 2$. For each result presented in this paper, we consider connected maxPDS and explain how to extend it when we require connectivity. more...

Abstract

The increase in non-biodegradable waste is a worldwide concern. Recycling facilities play a crucial role, but their automation is hindered by the complex characteristics of waste recycling lines like clutter or object deformation. In addition, the lack of publicly available labeled data for these environments makes developing robust perception systems challenging. Our work explores the benefits of multimodal perception for object segmentation in real waste management scenarios. First, we present SpectralWaste, the first dataset collected from an operational plastic waste sorting facility that provides synchronized hyperspectral and conventional RGB images. This dataset contains labels for several categories of objects that commonly appear in sorting plants and need to be detected and separated from the main trash flow for several reasons, such as security in the management line or reuse. Additionally, we propose a pipeline employing different object segmentation architectures and evaluate the alternatives on our dataset, conducting an extensive analysis for both multimodal and unimodal alternatives. Our evaluation pays special attention to efficiency and suitability for real-time processing and demonstrates how HSI can bring a boost to RGB-only perception in these realistic industrial settings without much computational overhead. more...

4. Understanding Delays in AF\_XDP-based Applications

Author

Subjects
Computer Science - Networking and Internet Architecture
Abstract

Packet processing on Linux can be slow due to its complex network stack. To solve this problem, there are two main solutions: eXpress Data Path (XDP) and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). XDP and the AF XDP socket offer full interoperability with the legacy system and is being adopted by major internet players like Open vSwitch or Facebook. While the performance evaluation of AF XDP against the legacy protocol stack in the kernel or against DPDK has been studied in the literature, the impact of the multiple socket parameters and the system configuration on its latency has been left aside. To address this, we conduct an experimental study to understand the XDP/AF XDP ecosystem and detect microseconds delays to better architect future latency-sensitive applications. Since the performance of AF XDP depends on multiple parameters found in different layers, finding the configuration minimizing its latency is a challenging task. We rely on a classification algorithm to group the performance results, allowing us to easily identify parameters with the biggest impact on performance at different loads. Last, but not least, we show that some configurations can significantly decrease the benefits of AF XDP, leading to undesirable behaviors, while other configurations are able to reduce such round trip delays to an impressive value of 6.5 $\mu$s in the best case, including the tracing overhead. In summary, AF XDP is a promising solution, and careful selection of both application and socket parameters can significantly improve performance. more...

5. On the Parameterized Complexity of Relaxations of Clique

Abstract

We investigate the parameterized complexity of several problems formalizing cluster identification in graphs. In other words we ask whether a graph contains a large enough and sufficiently connected subgraph. We study here three relaxations of CLIQUE: $s$-CLUB and $s$-CLIQUE, in which the relaxation is focused on the distances in respectively the cluster and the original graph, and $\gamma$-COMPLETE SUBGRAPH in which the relaxation is made on the minimal degree in the cluster. As these three problems are known to be NP-hard, we study here their parameterized complexities. We prove that $s$-CLUB and $s$-CLIQUE are NP-hard even restricted to graphs of degeneracy $\le 3$ whenever $s \ge 3$, and to graphs of degeneracy $\le 2$ whenever $s \ge 5$, which is a strictly stronger result than its W[1]-hardness parameterized by the degeneracy. We also obtain that these problems are solvable in polynomial time on graphs of degeneracy $1$. Concerning $\gamma$-COMPLETE SUBGRAPH, we prove that it is W[1]-hard parameterized by both the degeneracy, which implies the W[1]-hardness parameterized by the number of vertices in the $\gamma$-complete-subgraph, and the number of elements outside the $\gamma$-complete subgraph. more...

Abstract

Light-mediated chemical reactions are powerful methods for manipulating and interrogating biological systems. Photosensitizers, compounds that generate reactive oxygen species upon excitation with light, can be utilized for numerous biological experiments, but the repertoire of bioavailable photosensitizers is limited. Here, we describe the synthesis, characterization, and utility of two photosensitizers based upon the widely used rhodamine scaffold and demonstrate their efficacy for chromophore-assisted light inactivation, cell ablation in culture and in vivo, and photopolymerization of diaminobenzidine for electron microscopy. These chemical tools will facilitate a broad range of applications spanning from targeted destruction of proteins to high-resolution imaging. more...

12. Prescribing The Gauss Curvature Of Convex Bodies In Hyperbolic Space

Author

Subjects
Mathematics - Metric Geometry, Mathematics - Differential Geometry
Abstract

The Gauss curvature measure of a pointed Euclidean convex body is a measure on the unit sphere which extends the notion of Gauss curvature to non-smooth bodies. Alexandrov's problem consists in finding a convex body with given curvature measure. In Euclidean space, A.D. Alexandrov gave a necessary and sufficient condition on the measure for this problem to have a solution. In this paper, we address Alexandrov's problem for convex bodies in the hyperbolic space H m+1. After defining the Gauss curvature measure of an arbitrary hyperbolic convex body, we completely solve Alexandrov's problem in this setting. Contrary to the Euclidean case, we also prove the uniqueness of such a convex body. The methods for proving existence and uniqueness of the solution to this problem are both new. more...

Abstract

Biological samples are frequently stained with heavy metals in preparation for examining the macro, micro and ultra-structure using X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy. A single X-ray microtomography scan reveals detailed 3D structure based on staining density, yet it lacks both material composition and functional information. Using a commercially available polychromatic X-ray source, energy integrating detectors and a two-scan configuration labelled by their energy- "High" and "Low", we demonstrate how a specific element, here shown with iron, can be detected from a mixture with other heavy metals. With proper selection of scan configuration, achieving strong overlap of source characteristic emission lines and iron K-edge absorption, iron absorption was enhanced enabling K-edge imaging. Specifically, iron images were obtained by scatter plot material analysis, after selecting specific regions within scatter plots generated from the "High" and "Low" scans. Using this method, we identified iron rich regions associated with an iron staining reaction that marks the nodes of Ranvier along nerve axons within mouse spinal roots, also stained with osmium metal commonly used for electron microscopy. more...

15. A Spectral Characterization Of Geodesic Balls In Non-Compact Rank One Symmetric Spaces

Abstract

In constant curvatures spaces, there are a lot of characterizations of geodesic balls as optimal domain for shape optimization problems. Although it is natural to expect similar characterizations in rank one symmetric spaces, very few is known in this setting. In this paper we prove that, in a non-compact rank one symmetric space, the geodesic balls uniquely maximize the first Steklov eigenvalue among the domains of fixed volume, extending to this context a result of Brock in the Euclidean space. Then we show that a stability version of the ensuing Brock-Weinstock inequality holds. The idea behind the proof is to exploit a suitable weighted isoperimetric inequality which we prove to hold true, as well as in a stability form, on harmonic manifolds. Eventually we show that, in general, the geodesic balls are not global maximizers on the standard sphere. more...

Abstract

Low-grade gliomas are one of the most common brain tumors in children, where they frequently form within the optic pathway (optic pathway gliomas; OPGs). Since many OPGs occur in the context of the Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome, we have previously employed Nf1 genetically-engineered mouse (GEM) strains to study the pathogenesis of these low-grade glial neoplasms. In the light of the finding that human and mouse low-grade gliomas are composed of Olig2+ cells and that Olig2+ oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) give rise to murine high-grade gliomas, we sought to determine whether Olig2+ OPCs could be tumor-initiating cells for Nf1 optic glioma. Similar to the GFAP-Cre transgenic strain previously employed to generate Nf1 optic gliomas, Olig2+ cells also give rise to astrocytes in the murine optic nerve in vivo. However, in contrast to the GFAP-Cre strain where somatic Nf1 inactivation in embryonic neural progenitor/stem cells (Nf1flox/mut; GFAP-Cre mice) results in optic gliomas by 3 months of age in vivo, mice with Nf1 gene inactivation in Olig2+ OPCs (Nf1flox/mut; Olig2-Cre mice) do not form optic gliomas until 6 months of age. These distinct patterns of glioma latency do not reflect differences in the timing or brain location of somatic Nf1 loss. Instead, they most likely reflect the cell of origin, as somatic Nf1 loss in CD133+ neural progenitor/stem cells during late embryogenesis results in optic gliomas at 3 months of age. Collectively, these data demonstrate that the cell of origin dictates the time to tumorigenesis in murine optic glioma. more...

Abstract

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete non-compact Riemannian manifold. We consider operators of the form $\Delta_g + V$, where $\Delta_g$ is the non-negative Laplacian associated with the metric $g$, and $V$ a locally integrable function. Let $\rho : (\hat{M},\hat{g}) \to (M,g)$ be a Riemannian covering, with Laplacian $\Delta_{\hat{g}}$ and potential $\hat{V} = V \circ \rho$. If the operator $\Delta + V$ is non-negative on $(M,g)$, then the operator $\Delta_{\hat{g}} + \hat{V}$ is non-negative on $(\hat{M},\hat{g})$. In this note, we show that the converse statement is true provided that $\pi_1(\hat{M})$ is a co-amenable subgroup of $\pi_1(M)$., Comment: Final version to appear in the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society more...

22. On asymptotically harmonic manifolds of negative curvature

Subjects
Mathematics - Differential Geometry
Abstract

We study asymptotically harmonic manifolds of negative curvature, without any cocompactness or homogeneity assumption. We show that asymptotic harmonicity provides a lot of information on the asymptotic geometry of these spaces: in particular, we determine the volume entropy, the spectrum and the relative densities of visual and harmonic measures on the ideal boundary. Then, we prove an asymptotic analogue of the classical mean value property of harmonic manifolds, and we characterize asymptotically harmonic manifolds, among Cartan-Hadamard spaces of strictly negative curvature, by the existence of an asymptotic equivalent $\tau(u)\ex^{Er}$ for the volume-density of geodesic spheres (with $\tau$ constant in case $DR_M$ is bounded). Finally, we show the existence of a Margulis function, and explicitly compute it, for all asymptotically harmonic manifolds., Comment: 24 p more...

Abstract

Let $(M,g)$ be a complete non-compact Riemannian surface. We consider operators of the form $\Delta + aK + W$, where $\Delta$ is the non-negative Laplacian, $K$ the Gaussian curvature, $W$ a locally integrable function, and $a$ a positive real number. Assuming that the positive part of $W$ is integrable, we address the question "What conclusions on $(M,g)$ and $W$ can one draw from the fact that the operator $\Delta + aK + W$ is non-negative ?" As a consequence of our main result, we get a new proof of Huber's theorem and Cohn-Vossen's inequality, and we improve earlier results in the particular cases in which $W$ is non-positive and $a = 1/4$ or $a \in (0,1/4)$. more...

24. Construction and Initial Validation of the Student-Professor Interaction Scale

Author

Cokley, Kevin, Komarraju, Meera, Patel, Nima, Castillon, Jane, Rosales, Rocio, Pickett, Rachel, Piedrahita, Sandra, Ravitch, Joseph, and Pang, Lan-Sze

Abstract

This article describes the development of an instrument to measure the multiple dimensions of student-faculty interactions. The sample consisted of 318 students (114 males, 203 females; 58% White, 16% African American, 9% Hispanic Americans) who completed the Student-Professor Interaction Scale (SPIS). Eight dimensions were identified, with Cronbach alphas ranging from 0.51 to 0.92. Dimensions of student-faculty interactions were related to academic motivation and academic self-concept for the majority White sample, but only academic self-concept for the ethnic minority sample. African American and Hispanic American students reported feeling less connected with professors, perceived their experiences with faculty as more negative, and perceived faculty as less respectful when compared to White students. Implications for student affairs research and practice are discussed. (Contains 4 tables.) more...

In this paper, we give a lower bound for the spectrum of the Laplacian on minimal hypersurfaces immersed into $H^m \times R$. As an application, in dimension 2, we prove that a complete minimal surface with finite total extrinsic curvature has finite index. On the other hand, for stable, minimal surfaces in $H^3$ or in $H^2 \times \R$, we give an upper bound on the infimum of the spectrum of the Laplacian and on the volume growth. more...

29. Rapid Discharge After Anatomic Lung Resection: Is Ambulatory Surgery for Early Lung Cancer Possible?

Author

Dolan, Daniel P., Visa, Maxime, Lee, Dan, Lung, Kalvin C., Patino, Diego Avella, Kurihara, Chitaru, Garza-Castillon, Rafael, Odell, David D., Bharat, Ankit, and Kim, Samuel

Abstract

Given resource constraints during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, we explored whether minimally invasive anatomic lung resections for early-stage lung cancer could undergo rapid discharge. All patients with clinical stage I-II non–small cell lung cancer from September 2019 to June 2022 who underwent minimally invasive anatomic lung resection at a single institution were included. Patients discharged without a chest tube <18 hours after operation, meeting preset criteria, were considered rapid discharge. Demographics, comorbidities, operative details, and 30-day outcomes were compared between rapid discharge patients and nonrapid discharge "control" patients. Multivariable logistic regression was performed for predictors of nonrapid discharge. Overall, 430 patients underwent resection (200 lobectomies and 230 segmentectomies); 162 patients (37%) underwent rapid discharge and 268 patients (63%) were controls. The rapid discharge group was younger (66.5 vs 70.0 years; P <.001), was assigned to lower American Society of Anesthesiologists class (P =.02), had more segmentectomies than lobectomies (P =.003), and had smaller tumors (P <.001). There were no differences between groups in distance from home to hospital (P =.335) or readmission rates (P =.39). Increasing age had higher odds for nonrapid discharge (odds ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07), whereas segmentectomy had decreased odds (odds ratio, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28-0.75). Approximately 37% of the patients underwent rapid discharge after operation with similar readmission rate to controls. Increasing age had higher odds for nonrapid discharge; segmentectomy was likely to lead to rapid discharge. Consideration of rapid discharge minimally invasive lung resection for early-stage lung cancer can result in significant reduction in inpatient resources without adverse patient outcomes.

Abstract

Primary graft dysfunction is a risk factor of early mortality after lung transplant. Models identifying patients at high risk for primary graft dysfunction are limited. We hypothesize high postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure is a clinical marker for primary graft dysfunction. This is a retrospective review of 158 consecutive lung transplants performed at a single academic center from January 2020 through July 2022. Only bilateral lung transplants were included and patients with pretransplant extracorporeal life support were excluded. Primary graft dysfunction occurred in 42.3% (n = 30). Patients with primary graft dysfunction had higher postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure (41 ± 9.1 mm Hg) than those without (31.5 ± 8.8 mm Hg) (P <.001). Logistic regression showed postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure is a predictor for primary graft dysfunction (odds ratio 1.14, 95% CI 1.06-1.24, P <.001). Postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure of 37 mm Hg was optimal for predicting primary graft dysfunction by Youden index. The receiver operating characteristic curve of postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure at 37 mm Hg (sensitivity 0.77, specificity 0.78, area under the curve 0.81), was superior to the prereperfusion pressure curve at 36 mm Hg (sensitivity 0.77, specificity 0.39, area under the curve 0.57) (P <.01). Elevated postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure after lung transplant is predictive of primary graft dysfunction. Postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure is more indicative of primary graft dysfunction than prereperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure. Using postreperfusion systolic pulmonary artery pressure as a positive signal of primary graft dysfunction allows earlier intervention, which could improve outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Abstract

Aims: This international study aimed to assess: 1) the prevalence of preoperative and postoperative COVID-19 among patients with hip fracture, 2) the effect on 30-day mortality, and 3) clinical factors associated with the infection and with mortality in COVID-19-positive patients. Methods: A multicentre collaboration among 112 centres in 14 countries collected data on all patients presenting with a hip fracture between 1st March-31st May 2020. Demographics, residence, place of injury, presentation blood tests, Nottingham Hip Fracture Score, time to surgery, management, ASA grade, length of stay, COVID-19 and 30-day mortality status were recorded. Results: A total of 7090 patients were included, with a mean age of 82.2 (range 50–104) years and 4959 (69.9%) being female. Of 651 (9.2%) patients diagnosed with COVID-19, 225 (34.6%) were positive at presentation and 426 (65.4%) were positive postoperatively. Positive COVID-19 status was independently associated with male sex (odds ratio (OR) 1.38, p = 0.001), residential care (OR 2.15, p < 0.001), inpatient fall (OR 2.23, p = 0.003), cancer (OR 0.63, p = 0.009), ASA grades 4 (OR 1.59, p = 0.008) or 5 (OR 8.28, p < 0.001), and longer admission (OR 1.06 for each increasing day, p < 0.001). Patients with COVID-19 at any time had a significantly lower chance of 30-day survival versus those without COVID-19 (72.7% versus 92.6%, p < 0.001). COVID-19 was independently associated with an increased 30-day mortality risk (hazard ratio (HR) 2.83, p < 0.001). Increasing age (HR 1.03, p = 0.028), male sex (HR 2.35, p < 0.001), renal disease (HR 1.53, p = 0.017), and pulmonary disease (HR 1.45, p = 0.039) were independently associated with a higher 30-day mortality risk in patients with COVID-19 when adjusting for confounders. Conclusion: The prevalence of COVID-19 in hip fracture patients during the first wave of the pandemic was 9%, and was independently associated with a three-fold increased 30-day mortality risk. more...

Abstract

Introduction Obesity is perhaps one of the most important emerging health problems in our time. Its frequency has continued to rise over the past several decades. The proportion of obese [...], Objective: To describe the frequency, distribution and trend in misperceived overweight and obesity. Design: Three independent cross-sectional studies carried out in 1987, 1995 and 1997 over representative samples of Spanish adult population. Setting: Spanish adult population aged 20y and over. Subjects and interventions: A total of 11 496 men and women aged 20y and over with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/[m.sup.2]. Main outcome measures: Prevalence and time trend of misperceived overweight and obesity based on self-perceived weight and height. Results: Some 28.4% of the population did not perceive themselves to be overweight or obese in 1987 (26.9% in 1995/97). Overweight was more frequently misperceived among men, persons over 64y of age, those residing in rural areas and those with an elementary educational level. The largest percentages of misperceived overweight were in the more moderate levels of BMI: 50% of men and 30% of women with a BMI of 25-26.9 kg/[m.sup.2] in 1995/1997 did not perceive themselves to be overweight. Conclusions: Misperceived overweight and obesity is frequent in the adult population in Spain. Some social and cultural factors may explain its higher frequency in men, older individuals and those with elementary level of education. The fact that most of those who do not perceive themselves to be overweight are in the moderate levels of overweight should be taken into account when designing strategies for the prevention and control of overweight and obesity in the general population. doi:10.1038/sj.ejcn.1601404 Keywords: overweight; obesity; self-perception; epidemiology more...

Abstract

Background: Although high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and non-HDL cholesterol have opposite associations with coronary heart disease, multi-country reports of lipid trends only use total cholesterol (TC). Our aim was to compare trends in total, HDL and non-HDL cholesterol and the total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio in Asian and Western countries. Methods: We pooled 458 population-based studies with 82.1 million participants in 23 Asian and Western countries. We estimated changes in mean total, HDL and non-HDL cholesterol and mean total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio by country, sex and age group. Results: Since ∼1980, mean TC increased in Asian countries. In Japan and South Korea, the TC rise was due to rising HDL cholesterol, which increased by up to 0.17 mmol/L per decade in Japanese women; in China, it was due to rising non-HDL cholesterol. TC declined in Western countries, except in Polish men. The decline was largest in Finland and Norway, at ∼0.4 mmol/L per decade. The decline in TC in most Western countries was the net effect of an increase in HDL cholesterol and a decline in non-HDL cholesterol, with the HDL cholesterol increase largest in New Zealand and Switzerland. Mean total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio declined in Japan, South Korea and most Western countries, by as much as ∼0.7 per decade in Swiss men (equivalent to ∼26% decline in coronary heart disease risk per decade). The ratio increased in China. Conclusions: HDL cholesterol has risen and the total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio has declined in many Western countries, Japan and South Korea, with only a weak correlation with changes in TC or non-HDL cholesterol. more...

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and non-HDL cholesterol have opposite associations with coronary heart disease, multi-country reports of lipid trends only use total cholesterol (TC). Our aim was to compare trends in total, HDL and non-HDL cholesterol and the total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio in Asian and Western countries. METHODS: We pooled 458 population-based studies with 82.1 million participants in 23 Asian and Western countries. We estimated changes in mean total, HDL and non-HDL cholesterol and mean total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio by country, sex and age group. RESULTS: Since ∼1980, mean TC increased in Asian countries. In Japan and South Korea, the TC rise was due to rising HDL cholesterol, which increased by up to 0.17 mmol/L per decade in Japanese women; in China, it was due to rising non-HDL cholesterol. TC declined in Western countries, except in Polish men. The decline was largest in Finland and Norway, at ∼0.4 mmol/L per decade. The decline in TC in most Western countries was the net effect of an increase in HDL cholesterol and a decline in non-HDL cholesterol, with the HDL cholesterol increase largest in New Zealand and Switzerland. Mean total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio declined in Japan, South Korea and most Western countries, by as much as ∼0.7 per decade in Swiss men (equivalent to ∼26% decline in coronary heart disease risk per decade). The ratio increased in China. CONCLUSIONS: HDL cholesterol has risen and the total-to-HDL cholesterol ratio has declined in many Western countries, Japan and South Korea, with only a weak correlation with changes in TC or non-HDL cholesterol. more...

Abstract

High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries1,2. However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are changing rapidly throughout the world³ and countries are using lipid-lowering medications at varying rates. These changes can have distinct effects on the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol, which have different effects on human health4,5. However, the trends of HDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels over time have not been previously reported in a global analysis. Here we pooled 1,127 population-based studies that measured blood lipids in 102.6 million individuals aged 18 years and older to estimate trends from 1980 to 2018 in mean total, non-HDL and HDL cholesterol levels for 200 countries. Globally, there was little change in total or non-HDL cholesterol from 1980 to 2018. This was a net effect of increases in low- and middle-income countries, especially in east and southeast Asia, and decreases in high-income western countries, especially those in northwestern Europe, and in central and eastern Europe. As a result, countries with the highest level of non-HDL cholesterol—which is a marker of cardiovascular risk—changed from those in western Europe such as Belgium, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Malta in 1980 to those in Asia and the Pacific, such as Tokelau, Malaysia, The Philippines and Thailand. In 2017, high non-HDL cholesterol was responsible for an estimated 3.9 million (95% credible interval 3.7 million–4.2 million) worldwide deaths, half of which occurred in east, southeast and south Asia. The global repositioning of lipid-related risk, with non-optimal cholesterol shifting from a distinct feature of high-income countries in northwestern Europe, north America and Australasia to one that affects countries in east and southeast Asia and Oceania should motivate the use of population-based policies and personal interventions t more...

Abstract

Introduction We assessed the efficacy of fibrin sealant (FS) and tranexamic acid (TXA) administered topically in patients with a hip fracture treated with prosthetic replacement. Materials and methods Parallel, multicentre, open label, randomised, clinical trial. We compared three interventions to reduce blood loss: (1) 10ml of FS, (2) 1g of topical TXA, both administered at the end of the surgery, and (3) usual haemostasis (control group). The main outcome was blood loss collected in drains. Other secondary variables were total blood loss, hidden blood loss, transfusion rate, average hospital stay, complications, adverse events, and mortality. Results A total of 158 patients were included, 56 in the FS group, 52 in the TXA group, and 50 in the control group. The total amount of blood collected in drains was lower in the TXA group (148.6ml, SD 122.7 in TXA; 168.2ml, SD 137.4 in FS; and 201.5ml, SD 166.5 in control group) without achieving statistical significance (p=0.178). The transfusion rate was lower in the TXA group (32.7%), compared with FS group (42.9%) and control group (44.0%), without statistical significance (p=0.341). There were no complications or adverse effects related to the evaluated interventions. Conclusions The use of TXA and FS administered topically prior to surgical closure in patients with a sub-capital femoral fracture undergoing arthroplasty did not significantly reduce either postoperative blood loss or transfusion rate, compared with a group that only received usual haemostasis. more...

Abstract

There have been over 177 million cases of COVID‐19 worldwide, many of whom could be organ donors. Concomitantly, there is an anticipated increase in the need for donor lungs due to expanding indications. Given that the respiratory tract is most commonly affected by COVID‐19, there is an urgent need to develop donor assessment criteria while demonstrating safety and “efficacy” of lung donation following COVID‐19 infection. Accordingly, we report an intentional transplant using lungs from a donor with recent, microbiologically confirmed, COVID‐19 infection into a recipient suffering from COVID‐19 induced ARDS and pulmonary fibrosis. In addition to the standard clinical assays, both donor and recipient lungs were analyzed using RNAscope, which confirmed that tissues were negative for SARS‐CoV‐2. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated colocalized KRT17+ basaloid‐like epithelium and COL1A1+ fibroblasts, a marker suggestive of lung fibrosis in COVID‐19 associated lung disease, in the explanted recipient lungs but absent in the donor lungs. We demonstrate that following a thorough assessment, lung donation following resolved COVID‐19 infection is safe and feasible. Lungs from carefully selected donors with resolved COVID‐19 are safe to transplant. more...

Abstract

Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T20:04:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-12-16 Wellcome Trust AstraZeneca Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. Methods We pooled 2416 population-based studies with measurements of height and weight on 128.9 million participants aged 5 years and older, including 31.5 million aged 5-19 years. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2016 in 200 countries for mean BMI and for prevalence of BMI in the following categories for children and adolescents aged 5-19 years: more than 2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference for children and adolescents (referred to as moderate and severe underweight hereafter), 2 SD to more than 1 SD below the median (mild underweight), 1 SD below the median to 1 SD above the median (healthy weight), more than 1 SD to 2 SD above the median (overweight but not obese), and more than 2 SD above the median (obesity). Findings Regional change in age-standardised mean BMI in girls from 1975 to 2016 ranged from virtually no change (-0.01 kg/m (2) per decade; 95% credible interval -0.42 to 0.39, posterior probability [PP] of the observed decrease being a true decrease= 0.5098) in eastern Europe to an increase of 1.00 kg/m(2) per decade (0.69-1.35, PP> 0.9999) in central Latin America and an increase of 0.95 kg/m (2) per decade (0.64-1.25, PP> 0.9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. The range for boys was from a non-significant increase of 0.09 kg/m(2) per decade (-0.33 to 0.49, PP= 0.6926) in eastern Europe to an increase of 0.77 kg/m (2) per decade (0.50-1.06, PP> 0.9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls. By contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia for both sexes, and southeast Asia for boys. Global age-standardised prevalence of obesity increased from 0.7% (0.4-1.2) in 1975 to 5.6% (4.8-6.5) in 2016 in girls, and from 0.9% (0.5-1.3) in 1975 to 7.8% (6.7-9.1) in 2016 in boys; the prevalence of moderate and severe underweight decreased from 9.2% (6.0-12.9) in 1975 to 8.4% (6.8-10.1) in 2016 in girls and from 14.8% (10.4-19.5) in 1975 to 12.4% (10.3-14.5) in 2016 in boys. Prevalence of moderate and severe underweight was highest in India, at 22.7% (16.7-29.6) among girls and 30.7% (23.5-38.0) among boys. Prevalence of obesity was more than 30% in girls in Nauru, the Cook Islands, and Palau; and boys in the Cook Islands, Nauru, Palau, Niue, and American Samoa in 2016. Prevalence of obesity was about 20% or more in several countries in Polynesia and Micronesia, the Middle East and north Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA. In 2016, 75 (44-117) million girls and 117 (70-178) million boys worldwide were moderately or severely underweight. In the same year, 50 (24-89) million girls and 74 (39-125) million boys worldwide were obese. Interpretation The rising trends in children's and adolescents' BMI have plateaued in many high-income countries, albeit at high levels, but have accelerated in parts of Asia, with trends no longer correlated with those of adults.
