Abstract

This work presents the first analysis of the disruptive locked mode (LM) triggered by the dynamics of a confinement change. It shows that, under certain conditions, the LM threshold during the transient is significantly lower than expected from steady states. We investigate the sensitivity to a controlled n = 1 error field (EF) activated prior to the L-H transition in the COMPASS tokamak, at q _95 ∼ 3, β _N ∼ 1, and using EF coils on the high-field side of the vessel. A threshold for EF penetration subsequent to the L-H transition is identified, which shows no significant trend with density or applied torque, and is an apparent consequence of the reduced intrinsic rotation of the 2/1 mode during this transient phase. This finding challenges the assumption made in theoretical and empirical works that natural mode rotation can be predicted by global plasma parameters and urges against using any parametric EF penetration scaling derived from steady-state experiments to define the EF correction strategy in the entire discharge. Furthermore, even at EFs below the identified penetration threshold, disruptive locking of sawtooth-seeded 2/1 tearing modes is observed after about 30% of L-H transitions without external torque.

Abstract

This work presents the first analysis of the disruptive locked mode (LM) triggered by the dynamics of a confinement change. It shows that, under certain conditions, the LM threshold during the transient is significantly lower than expected from steady states. We investigate the sensitivity to a controlled $n = 1$ error field (EF) activated prior to the L-H transition in the COMPASS tokamak, at $q_{95} \approx 3$, $\beta_N \approx 1$, and using EF coils on the high-field side of the vessel. A threshold for EF penetration subsequent to the L-H transition is identified, which shows no significant trend with density or applied torque, and is an apparent consequence of the reduced intrinsic rotation of the 2/1 mode during this transient phase. This finding challenges the assumption made in theoretical and empirical works that natural mode rotation can be predicted by global plasma parameters and urges against using any parametric EF penetration scaling derived from steady-state experiments to define the error field correction strategy in the entire discharge. Furthermore, even at EFs below the identified penetration threshold, disruptive locking of sawtooth-seeded 2/1 tearing modes is observed after about 30% of L-H transitions without external torque., Comment: 15 pages, 13 figures, submitted to Nuclear Fusion

Abstract

Atomic Beam Probe (ABP) is an extension of the routinely used Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic for plasma edge current fluctuation measurement at magnetically confined plasmas. Beam atoms ionized by the plasma are directed to a curved trajectory by the magnetic field and may be detected close to the wall of the device. The arrival location and current distribution of the ions carry information about the plasma current distribution, the density profile and the electric potential in the plasma edge. This paper describes a micro-Faraday cup matrix detector for the measurement of the few microampere ion current distribution close to the plasma edge. The device implements a shallow Faraday cup matrix, produced by printed-circuit board technology. Secondary electrons induced by the plasma radiation and the ion bombardment are basically confined into the cups by the tokamak magnetic field. Additionally, a double mask is installed in the front face to limit ion influx into the cups and supplement secondary electron suppression. The setup was tested in detail using a Lithium ion beam in the laboratory. Switching time, cross talk and fluctuation sensitivity test results in the lab setup are presented, along with the detector setup to be installed at the COMPASS tokamak., Comment: 10 pages, 18 figures, Review of Scientific Instruments

Abstract

Recently the Li-Beam Emission Spectroscopy (Li-BES) system on COMPASS has reached its full diagnostic power in terms of routine automatic operation in any kind of plasma scenarios and it is normally used as a standard tool for reconstruction of ultra fast density profiles in the edge region of COMPASS plasmas. The purpose of this study is to investigate the advantages and limitations of the COMPASS Li-BES system in characterizing plasma electron density fluctuations. We show how the atomic physics of plasma-beam interactions can affect the interpretation of the measurement at different radial positions and for different electron density profiles. We also demonstrate the usability of generalized sequential probability ratio test for automatic event detection. Using non-perturbative diagnostic, we verify the validity of the stochastic Garcia-model for scrape-off layer filaments and accompanying holes (density deficits)., Comment: suggestions from the coauthors included some text added to explain fig. 9

Abstract

Background. Cancer stem cells (CSC) and their role in tumorigenesis of various solid tumors have been studied in past decades. Urothelial CSC were first identified 10 years ago and subsequent studies have been performed with the aim to identify reliable markers of CSC. So far, a few studies have investigated a relationship between CSC markers expression in urothelial carcinoma tissue and histopathological characteristics of the tumor. Methods. In our study, we evaluated an immunoexpression of the CSC markers CD24, CD44, CD66 and CD133 in tissue sections of urothelial carcinoma (all tumor grades and stages were included), urothelial carcinoma in situ and non-neoplastic urothelium, totally 218 specimens were enrolled. Results. All studied molecules were expressed either in tumor tissue and non-neoplastic urothelium. Urothelial carcinomas of higher tumor grade and stage expressed molecules CD24 and CD133 significantly more frequently whereas molecules CD44 and CD66 did not show significant association with tumor histopathological features. Conclusions. Our results showed that studied molecules are not suitable for direct detection of CSC in urothelial carcinoma tissue sections, but an expression of molecules CD24 and CD133 is significantly related to urothelial carcinoma grade and stage, which are both important prognostic indicators and therefore an expression of these markers might have a potential prognostic value.

Abstract

In a time of increasing competition in online news, it is important for the publishers of news websites to retain loyal users. This paper contributes to the study of loyalty through an investigation of the factors that affect the loyalty of young users of news websites and motivate them to return there. The research sample in this study was made up of students (N=408) at universities in Slovakia who use news websites to search for information every day. Correlation and regression analyses have been used to test the hypotheses. The results of this research confirm that usability, familiarity, satisfaction and reputation have a direct and positive relationship to the users’ loyalty as reflected in daily use of a news website. The correlation shows that loyalty is associated particularly closely with reputation and satisfaction with a selected news website. Regression analysis shows that there are also other variables that affect users’ loyalty.

Abstract

Family Communication Patterns are the methodical way to distinguish between two sides of communication sphere inside the family. The current model suggests a concept of conformity orientated family and conversation orientated family. We point at the mentioned orientation as a main prediction of behavioral manners of family members in communication area. The aim of our study is to introduce mentioned methodical way and describe one of the possible approaches in family communication area. In this paper, we describe Family Communication Patterns instrument which has a set of questions to quantitative measure family communication patterns. Family Communication patterns show how parents communicate with their children. The construct of Family Communication Patterns has been often used by researchers for decades. They have used this construct to describe a family environment influenced by many variables. Researchers also began to examine how family communication patterns are related to children‘s development in some aspects. Original model of these communication patterns was used by researchers to investigate an interest about public sphere, protection children online and parental mediation online as well. Family communication patterns are described in terms of conformity orientation (originally “socio-orientation”) and conversation orientation (originally “concept orientation”). The first of them point at the parent‘s authority and extensive encourage to accept parent‘s advice or opinion. Children in this type of families accept parental authority, maintain consistent relationship and to remain away any misunderstanding with their parents or others. The conformity oriented families are authoritative and controlling families. The conversation orientation includes families within is natural to spend a lot of time together. These family members share their thoughts and activities. One of the main features of conversation orientation families is effort to discussion. It means the children are encouraged to discus with their parents and they are encouraged to express their individual ideas, beliefs and feelings.

Abstract

In modern democracies, senior civil servants have outgrown their classic role of mere implementers of orders given by politicians. Both senior civil servants and politicians serve the same democratic state, and both are heirs to the democratic evolution. Our hypothesis is based mainly on the historically developed division of labor between bureaucracy and politics. Senior civil servants have never been tasked with creating the conditions for more democracy in the state, but instead with creating the conditions for a more effective and successful state. Given that political bodies in which politicians operate have been established as the institutionalized personification of democracy, the task of politicians is above all the promotion of democracy, its values and norms. We have tested that hypothesis on the case of Slovenian senior civil servants and politicians and found out, that both elites are favorable to political freedoms and political equality.

Abstract

We assessed the effect of medical staff role models and the number of health-care worker sinks on hand-hygiene compliance before and after construction of a new hospital designed for increased access to handwashing sinks. We observed health-care worker hand hygiene in four nursing units that provided similar patient care in both the old and new hospitals: medical and surgical intensive care, hematology/oncology, and solid organ transplant units. Of 721 hand-hygiene opportunities, 304 (42%) were observed in the old hospital and 417 (58%) in the new hospital. Hand-hygiene compliance was significantly better in the old hospital (161/304; 53%) compared to the new hospital (97/417; 23.3%) (p

Abstract

COMPASS-U will be the successor of the existing COMPASS tokamak which is the main experimental facility of the Tokamak Department at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. COMPASS-U tokamak will be a flexible high magnetic field device with an advantage for scaling towards ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) and DEMO (DEMOnstration Power Station). The ITER and DEMO are foreseen to produce more energy than needed to power them. Based on the results obtained from the COMPASS-U it will be possible to learn more about the tokamak device, which will give more knowledge to construct larger of this type devices in the future. COMPASS-U requires new design of the whole structure of the device. One of the most challenging issues is the design of the Central Solenoid (CS) coils and its support structure. This task requires evaluation of many different case studies which include inter alia geometrical, technological and material properties verifications. In this contribution we present development and mechanical investigation of the CS structure. Based on a previous work, which showed the need of further optimization of the CS structure, additional development was done. In this work preload structure was added to the whole system. This allows to include preload as an additional load step. Preload was added to include compression of the CS coils in axial direction. The influence of the impregnation conditions on the CS behavior was checked. Several ways of impregnation application were studied and their influence on the CS structure was examined. Mechanical analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM) includes 2D axisymmetric model of the CS structure. Results for CS structure are presented for one particular loading scenario which is the premagnetization of the coils without plasma.

Abstract

The paper describes the conceptual design of the COMPASS Upgrade (COMPASS-U) tokamak which represents a compact, medium-size, high-magnetic-field and high-density device with a flexible set of poloidal field coils for generation of single, double null and snowflake configurations. In addition, COMPASS-U will be equipped with a closed divertor, which will be operated at high plasma and neutral density and with high optical opacity similar to future reactors. COMPASS-U is capable of addressing some of the key challenges in the field of the plasma exhaust physics, reactor-relevant edge plasma physics, advanced confinement regimes, advanced magnetic configurations and materials for next-step devices. The conceptual design of the individual COMPASS-U systems is presented with emphasis on magnets, support structure and power supply system enhancement.

Abstract

The reduction of the incident heat flux onto the divertor will be a necessity for the future thermonuclear reactors. Impurity seeding is recognized as an efficient way to achieve the partial detachment regime, which allows to dissipate a large fraction of power flux by radiation. This paper presents a heat flux real-time feedback system (RTFS) based on impurity seeding controlled by a combined ball-pen and Langmuir probe divertor array in the COMPASS tokamak. A number of features of the system have been studied, such as the type of impurity, seeding location, constants used in the real-time controller and the diagnostic selections. A detailed description of the designed RTFS and the results of the implementation are presented. The findings confirm the applicability of the RTFS for reduction and control of the divertor heat fluxes. Another important implication of this research is the ability of installing such systems in next-step devices.

Abstract

Within the EUROfusion MST1 work package, a series of experiments has been conducted on AUG and TCV devices to disentangle the role of plasma fueling and plasma shape for the onset of small ELM regimes. On both devices, small ELM regimes with high confinement are achieved if and only if two conditions are fulfilled at the same time. Firstly, the plasma density at the separatrix must be large enough (), leading to a pressure profile flattening at the separatrix, which stabilizes type-I ELMs. Secondly, the magnetic configuration has to be close to a double null (DN), leading to a reduction of the magnetic shear in the extreme vicinity of the separatrix. As a consequence, its stabilizing effect on ballooning modes is weakened. Peer Reviewed Article escrit per 365 autors/autores: Labit, B.; Eich, T.; Harrer, G. F.; Wolfrum, E.; Bernert, M.; Dunne, M.

Abstract

Background. Cancer stem cells (CSC) and their role in tumorigenesis of various solid tumors have been studied in past decades. Urothelial CSC were first identified 10 years ago and subsequent studies have been performed with the aim to identify reliable markers of CSC. So far, a few studies have investigated a relationship between CSC markers expression in urothelial carcinoma tissue and histopathological characteristics of the tumor. Methods. In our study, we evaluated an immunoexpression of the CSC markers CD24, CD44, CD66 and CD133 in tissue sections of urothelial carcinoma (all tumor grades and stages were included), urothelial carcinoma in situ and non-neoplastic urothelium, totally 218 specimens were enrolled. Results. All studied molecules were expressed either in tumor tissue and non-neoplastic urothelium. Urothelial carcinomas of higher tumor grade and stage expressed molecules CD24 and CD133 significantly more frequently whereas molecules CD44 and CD66 did not show significant association with tumor histopathological features. Conclusions. Our results showed that studied molecules are not suitable for direct detection of CSC in urothelial carcinoma tissue sections, but an expression of molecules CD24 and CD133 is significantly related to urothelial carcinoma grade and stage, which are both important prognostic indicators and therefore an expression of these markers might have a potential prognostic value.

Abstract

An improved lithium beam based beam emission spectroscopy system – installed on COMPASS tokamak – is described. The beam energy enhanced up to 120 keV for Atomic Beam Probe measurement. The size of the ion source is doubled, using a newly developed thermionic heater instead of the conventionally used heating (tungsten or molybdenum) filament. The neutralizer is also improved. It produces the same sodium vapor in a cell but minimize the loss condensing the vapor on a cold surface which is led back (in fluid state) into the sodium oven. This way we call it recirculating neutralizer. The observation system consists of a CCD camera and an avalanche photodiode array.

Abstract

The resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) has proven to be a useful way to suppress edge-localized modes that under certain conditions can damage the device by the large power fluxes carried from the bulk plasma to the wall. The effect of RMP on the L-mode plasma parameters in the divertor region of the COMPASS tokamak was studied using the array of 39 Langmuir probes embedded into the divertor target. The current-voltage (IV) probe characteristics were processed by the first-derivative probe technique to obtain the plasma potential and the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) which was approximated by a bi-Maxwellian EEDF with a low-energy (4-6 eV) fraction and a high-energy (11-35 eV) one, the both factions having similar electron density. Clear splitting was observed during the RMP pulse in the low-field-side scrape-off-layer profiles of the floating potential U fl and the ion saturation current density J sat; these two quantities were obtained both by direct continuous measurement and by evaluation of the IV characteristics of probes with swept bias. The negative peaks of U fl induced by RMP spatially overlaps with the local minima of J sat (and n e) rather than with its local maxima which is partly caused by the spatial variation of the plasma potential and partly by the changed shape of the EEDF. The effective temperature of the whole EEDF is not correlated with the negative peaks of U fl, and the profile of the parallel power flux density shows secondary maxima due to RMP which mimic those of J sat.

Abstract

The concept and development of a new detection method for light alkali ions stemming from diagnostic beams installed on medium size tokamak is described. The method allows us the simultaneous measurement of plasma density fluctuations and fast variations in poloidal magnetic field, therefore one can infer the fast changes in edge plasma current. The concept has been worked out and the whole design process has been done at Wigner RCP. The test detector with appropriate mechanics and electronics is already installed on COMPASS tokamak. General ion trajectory calculation code (ABPIons) has also been developed. Detailed calculations show the possibility of reconstruction of edge plasma current density profile changes with high temporal resolution, and the possibility of density profile reconstruction with better spatial resolution compared to standard Li-BES measurement, this is important for pedestal studies.

Abstract

The COMPASS tokamak, a divertor device with clear H-mode and ITER-relevant geometry, has been re-installed in IPP Prague after its transport from CCFE in UK. The first plasma was achieved in December 2008. Many new diagnostic tools with both high temporal and spatial resolutions have been developed to address the scientific programme of COMPASS focused on H-mode physics and pedestal investigations. In the paper, an overview of existing and in near future planned diagnostics (magnetic, spectroscopy, microwave, probe and beam/particle) on COMPASS is given including their basic technical specifications and achievements.

Abstract

This paper reports experimental data obtained on the COMPASS tokamak by an array of Langmuir probes embedded in the divertor tiles. The measured current-voltage probe characteristics were processed by the recently published first-derivative probe technique for precise determination of the plasma potential and the electron energy distribution function (EEDF). The measurements were performed during L-mode hydrogen and deuterium plasma with a toroidal magnetic field Bt = 1.15 T, plasma current Ip = 180 kA and average electron density ne = 8*1019 m-3. The spatial profile of the electron temperatures shows that in the vicinity of the inner and outer strike points in hydrogen plasma the EEDF can be approximated by a bi-Maxwellian distribution, with a dominating low-energy electron population (4 - 7 eV) and a minority of electrons with higher energies (12 - 18 eV). In the private flux region between the two strike points, the EEDF is found to be Maxwellian with temperatures in the range of 7 - 9 eV. In the case of deuterium plasma under similar discharge conditions, the EEDFs in the vicinity of the inner and outer strike points, as well as in the private flux region between the two strike points, are found to be bi-Maxwellian.

Abstract

Objective.Interventions for reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) healthcare-associated disease require outcome assessment; this is typically done by manual chart review to determine infection, which can be labor intensive. The purpose of this study was to validate electronic tools for MRSA healthcare-associated infection (HAI) trending that can replace manual medical record review.Design and Setting.This was an observational study comparing manual medical record review with 3 electronic methods: raw culture data from the laboratory information system (LIS) in use by our healthcare organization, LIS data combined with admission-discharge-transfer (ADT) data to determine which cultures were healthcare associated (LIS + ADT), and the CareFusion MedMined Nosocomial Infection Marker (NIM). Each method was used for the same 7-year period from August 2003 through July 2010.Patients.The data set was from a 3-hospital organization covering 342,492 admissions.Results.Correlation coefficients for raw LIS, LIS + ADT, and NIM were 0.976, 0.957, and 0.953, respectively, when assessed on an annual basis. Quarterly performance for disease trending was also good, with R2values exceeding 0.7 for all methods.Conclusions.The electronic tools accurately identified trends in MRSA HAI incidence density when all infections were combined as quarterly or annual data; the performance is excellent when annual assessment is done. These electronic surveillance systems can significantly reduce (93% [in-house-developed program] to more than 99.9999% [commercially available systems]) the personnel resources needed to monitor the impact of a disease control program.

26. Implementation of a Universal Admission Surveillance and Decolonization Program for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) Reduces the Number of MRSA and Total Number of S. aureusIsolates Reported by the Clinical Laboratory

Author

Hacek, Donna M., Paule, Suzanne M., Thomson, Richard B., Robicsek, Ari, and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTOur three-hospital system began active surveillance for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) nasal colonization, with decolonization of positive patients, on all admissions starting 1 August 2005. A question not previously addressed is whether reduction of the incidence of MRSA disease would lower the total number of S. aureusclinical isolates recovered by the microbiology laboratory that are reported to health care providers. The decreases in the numbers of MRSA and total S. aureusclinical isolates for each year after August 2005 were highly statistically significant compared to the numbers in each of the prior 3 years (P< 0.0001).

28. Performance of the BD GeneOhm Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusTest before and during High-Volume Clinical Use

Author

Paule, Suzanne M., Hacek, Donna M., Kufner, Bridget, Truchon, Karine, Thomson, Richard B., Kaul, Karen L., Robicsek, Ari, and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTWe evaluated the use of the BD GeneOhm MRSA real-time PCR assay (BD Diagnostics, San Diego, CA) for the detection of nasal colonization with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA). The initial evaluation consisted of 403 paired nasal swabs and was done using the specimen preparation provided with the kit and an in-house lysis method that was specifically developed to accommodate large-volume testing using a minimal amount of personnel time. One swab was placed in an achromopeptidase (ACP) lysis solution, and the other was first used for culture and then prepared according to the kit protocol. PCR was performed on both lysates, and results were compared to those for culture. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the PCR assay were 98%, 96%, 77%, and 99.7% with the kit lysate and 98%, 95%, 75%, and 99.7% with the ACP lysate (P, not significant), respectively. The second evaluation was done after implementation of all-admission surveillance using PCR with ACP lysis and a sampling of 1,107 PCR-negative samples and 215 PCR-positive samples that were confirmed by culture. The results of this sampling showed an NPV of 99.9% and a PPV of 73.5% (prevalence, 6%), consistent with our initial findings. The BD GeneOhm MRSA assay is an accurate and rapid way to detect MRSA nasal colonization. When one is dealing with large specimen numbers, the ACP lysis method offers easier processing without negatively affecting the sensitivity or specificity of the PCR assay.

Abstract

AbstractObjective:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and detection sensitivity associated with three active surveillance strategies for the identification of patients harboring vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) to determine which is the most medically and economically useful.Design:Culture for VRE from 200 consecutive stool specimens submitted for Clostridium difficileculture. Following this, risk factors were assessed for patients whose culture yielded VRE, and a cost-effectiveness evaluation was performed using a decision analytic model with a probabilistic analysis.Setting:A 688-bed, tertiary-care facility in Chicago, Illinois, with approximately 39,000 annual admissions, 7,000 newborn deliveries, 56,000 emergency department visits, and 115,000 home care and 265,000 outpatient visits.Subjects:All stool specimens submitted to the clinical microbiology laboratory for C. difficileculture from hospital inpatients.Results:From 200 stool samples submitted for C. difficiletesting, we identified 5 patients with VRE in non-high-risk areas not screened as part of our routine patient surveillance. Medical record review revealed that all 5 had been hospitalized within the prior 2 years. Three of 5 had a history of renal impairment. The strategy that would involve screening the greatest number of patients (all those with a history of hospital admission in the prior 2 years) resulted in highest screening cost per patient admitted ($2.48), lower per patient admission costs ($480), and the best survival rates.Conclusion:An expanded VRE surveillance program that encompassed all patients hospitalized within the prior 2 years was a cost-effective screening strategy compared with a more traditional one focused on high-risk units.

Abstract

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureusis considered a source of subsequent infection in health care settings. Utilization of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of S. aureushas the potential to dramatically affect infection control practice by rapidly identifying S. aureus-colonized patients. We developed and validated the use of real-time PCR for detection of S. aureuscolonization in two patient populations. Paired nasal swabs were collected from 299 neonates and from 151 adult patients at Evanston Hospital. One swab was used for culture and the other placed into a bacterial lysis solution containing achromopeptidase. The DNA liberated was used as the template for real-time PCR with primers for the femAgene. SYBR Green was used for amplicon detection. In the neonatal population the sensitivity, specificity, predictive value positive and predictive value negative for culture and PCR was 92%versus96%, 100%versus100%, 100%versus100%, and 98%versus99%, respectively. In the adults the results were 90%versus100%, 100%versus98%, 100%versus96%, and 95%versus100%, respectively. Real-time PCR was able to detect S. aureusin 2 hours compared to 1 to 4 days for culture and provided sensitivity equal to or greater than culture.

31. Computer-Assisted Surveillance for Detecting Clonal Outbreaks of Nosocomial Infection

Author

Hacek, Donna M., Cordell, Ralph L., Noskin, Gary A., and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTWhole-house surveillance for healthcare-associated infection is no longer the recommended practice because of the large personnel time investment required. We developed a computer-based tracking system using microbiologic data as an aid in detecting potential outbreaks of healthcare-associated infections on a hospital-wide basis. Monthly total isolates of 25 clinically significant hospital pathogens were tallied from 1991 to 1998 to form a database for future comparison. Two different algorithm tools (based on increases of organism numbers over baseline) were applied to determine alert thresholds for suspected outbreaks using this information. The first algorithm (2SD) defined an alert as two standard deviations above the mean monthly number of isolates. The second (MI) defined an alert as either a 100% increase from the baseline organism number over 2 months or a =50% increase (compared to baseline) during a three-consecutive-month period. These two methods were compared to standard infection control professional surveillance (ICP) for the detection of clonal outbreaks over 12 months. Overall, a total of seven clonal outbreaks were detected during the 1-year study. Using standard methods, ICP investigated nine suspected outbreaks, four of which were associated with clonal microbes. The 2SD method signaled a suspected outbreak 15 times, of which three were clonal and ICP had detected one. The MI method signaled a suspected outbreak 30 times; four of these were clonal, and ICP had detected one. The sensitivity and specificity values for ICP, 2SD, and MI for detecting clonal outbreaks were 57, 43, and 57% and 17, 83, and 67%, respectively. Statistical methods applied to clinical microbiology laboratory information system data efficiently supplement infection control efforts for outbreak detection.

32. An Outbreak of Bloodstream Infections in an Outpatient Hemodialysis Center

Author

Price, Connie S., Hacek, Donna, Noskin, Gary A., and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

Objectives:Investigate and control an increase in bloodstream infections (BSIs) in an outpatient hemodialysis center.Patients and Design:A retrospective cohort study was conducted for patients receiving dialysis at the center from February 2000 to April 2001. A case–control study compared microbiological data for all BSIs that occurred during the study period with those for BSIs that occurred during a baseline period Qanuary 1999 to January 2000). BSI rates before and after a 1-month intervention (May 2001) were assessed. A case was defined as a new BSI during the study period.Results:The outbreak was polymicrobial, with approximately 30 species. The baseline BSI rate was 0.7 per 100 patient-months. From February 2000 to April 2001, the BSI rate increased to 4.2 per 100 patient-months. Overall, 75% of the BSIs were associated with central venous catheters (CVCs), but CVC use did not fully explain the increase in BSIs. In January 2000, when the center changed ownership, prepackaged CVC dressing kits and biweekly infection control monitoring were discontinued. Beginning in May 2001, staff were educated on CVC care, chlorhexidine replaced povidone-iodine for cutaneous antisepsis, gauze replaced transparent dressings, antimicrobial ointments containing polyethylene glycol at CVC exit sites were discontinued, and patients with CVCs were educated on cutaneous hygiene. After the intervention period, by October 2001, rates decreased to less than 1 BSI per 100 patient-months.Conclusions:Proper cutaneous antisepsis and access site care is crucial in preventing BSIs in patients receiving hemodialysis. Infection control programs, staff and patient education, and use of optimal antisepsis agents or prepackaged kits are useful toward this end.

Abstract

The transition reported in L-mode plasmas leading to the formation of a density “shoulder” in the Scrape-off Layer (SOL) of tokamaks is investigated in the three ITER stepladder machines: COMPASS, ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and JET. In AUG and JET, the broadening of the profiles can be observed at similar relative densities (ne/nGW ∼ 0.4–0.5) and coincides with a clear increase in the size of SOL filaments and the onset of the outer divertor detachment. In COMPASS, no transition is observed in the same density range: the divertor does not detach and no clear effect is observed neither in the profiles nor in the turbulence. This is explained as the result of an increase of intermittent transport triggered by the increased resistivity along filaments associated to divertor detachment. The transition conditions in AUG and JET are compared to foreseen ITER SOL parameters, and the implications are briefly discussed.

34. Highly Reproducible Bactericidal Activity Test Results by Using a Modified National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards Broth Macrodilution Technique

Author

Hacek, Donna M., Dressel, Dana C., and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTBactericidal testing historically has exhibited variable reproducibility, even when prior standardized methods were employed. Several modifications to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) broth macrodilution method are proposed to improve reproducibility. Recommended changes from the approved NCCLS guidelines (M21-A and M26-A) include omitting serum supplementation of Mueller-Hinton broth, incubating tubes at 35°C for 24 h with no agitation until they are sampled, running all tests in duplicate with six dilutions instead of nine, reincubating the test for an additional 24 h to resolve discrepant bactericidal activity test results, using a single 0.1-ml sample from each clear tube for subculture, and adopting an alternate method for calculating endpoint determination. In order to test these recommendations in a clinical laboratory setting, we used the modified methodology on 224 separate tests for bactericidal activity. There were 102 serum bactericidal titer (SBT) and 122 minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays performed. By defining reproducibility as agreement between duplicate tests ± 1 dilution, we found 207 of 224 tests (92%) were reproducible at the 24-h subculture point (94% for the SBT assay and 91% for the MBC assay). When the 17 assays with discrepant results were incubated an additional 24 h for a second subculture, only 1 of 224 tests (0.4%) remained discrepant. The method used is practical for a clinical laboratory that chooses to perform bactericidal activity testing and assures a high level of reproducibility between duplicate assays. The total cost of a test was approximately $25.00.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe emergence of resistance in gram-positive bacteria has necessitated a search for new antimicrobial agents. Linezolid is an oxazolidinone, a new class of antibacterial agents with enhanced activity against pathogens. We compared the activity of linezolid to those of other antimicrobial agents against 3,945 clinical isolates. Linezolid demonstrated potent activity against all isolates tested. For all vancomycin-susceptible enterococci, staphylococci, and streptococci, the activity of linezolid was comparable to that of vancomycin. Against oxacillin-resistant staphylococci and vancomycin-resistant enterococci, linezolid was the most active agent tested. In summary, linezolid appears to be a promising new antimicrobial agent for the treatment of gram-positive infections.

36. Initial use of a broth microdilution method suitable for in vitro testing of fungal isolates in a clinical microbiology laboratory

Abstract

Antifungal susceptibility testing methods currently lack a standardized procedure. Many factors, such as inoculum preparation, inoculum density, medium selection, pH, incubation time and temperature, and endpoint determination, affect results. We developed a workable procedure for fungal susceptibility testing, with a microtiter method based upon modifications of the proposed guidelines from the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, using two different growth media. For this procedure, the microtiter tray is prepared as a panel of 6 drugs (amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, and itraconazole) alone and in combination with amphotericin B. Eagle's minimal essential medium and RPMI 1640 are the two growth media. Two separate susceptibility trays are inoculated for each sensitivity test, with one tray incubated at 30 degrees C and the other incubated at 35 degrees C. After 48 h of growth, results for both temperatures and both media are recorded and interpreted. The four test environments (two media each at two temperatures) provided growth for 100 of the first 104 organisms that were submitted for testing. This approach provides a workable methodology for routine antifungal susceptibility testing in a clinical microbiology laboratory setting.

37. Effects of incubation time and buffer concentration on in vitro activities of antifungal agents against Candida albicans

Abstract

Nine selected isolates of Candida albicans were tested for their susceptibilities to amphotericin B and fluconazole by using three methods to assess the effect of incubation time and buffer concentration. By using a microdilution method with 0.0165 M 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) and a 24-h incubation time, all of the isolates were found to be susceptible to amphotericin B and fluconazole. After 48 h of incubation, all isolates were still susceptible to amphotericin B. Seven of the nine isolates were resistant to fluconazole, and for the remaining two isolates, MICs increased by fourfold or more but the isolates remained susceptible (MIC, < or = 10 microg/ml). The nine isolates, along with three control strains, were further tested against amphotericin B and fluconazole by a standard broth macrodilution method with both 0.165 and 0.0165 M MOPS. The susceptibility results for fluconazole by the broth macrodilution method with the lower MOPS concentration correlated with the results of the 24-h broth microdilution method for determination of susceptibility or resistance in eight of nine tests and with the results of the 48 h broth microdilution method in three of nine tests. The results of the broth macrodilution method with the standard MOPS concentration did not correlate with any of the results obtained by the 24-h broth microdilution but correlated with results of seven of nine tests by the 48-h broth microdilution method. All nine test strains appeared to be susceptible when they were examined by a flow cytometric method. For clinical yeast susceptibility testing in microdilution panels, the 0.0165 M MOPS concentration combined with 24 h of incubation appeared to be the method of choice. The lower MOPS concentration may also be a useful modification to the tentative broth macrodilution method of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Use of the higher buffer concentration or longer incubation time may lead to false in vitro resistance for agents like fluconazole.

38. Contamination of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci and Multidrug- ResistantEnterobacteriaceae: Implications for Hospital and Laboratory Workers

Author

Collins, Susan M., Hacek, Donna M., Degen, Lisa A., Wright, Marc O., Noskin, Gary A., and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTWe surveyed environmental surfaces in our clinical microbiology laboratory to determine the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and multidrug-resistantEnterobacteriaceae(MDRE) during a routine working day. From a total of 193 surfaces, VRE were present on 20 (10%) and MDRE were present on 4 (2%) of the surfaces tested. In a subsequent survey after routine cleaning, all of the 24 prior positive surfaces were found to be negative. Thus, those in the laboratory should recognize that many surfaces may be contaminated by resistant organisms during routine processing of patient specimens.

39. Low Prevalence of Community-Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureusin Adults at a University Hospital in the Central United States

Author

Suntharam, Nila, Hacek, Donna, and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTCommunity-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) is potentially a new emerging pathogen with most strains susceptible to many antimicrobials except for ß-lactam antibiotics. We retrospectively reviewed MRSA isolates during a 20-month study period (January 1998 through August 1999) and investigated those that were clindamycin susceptible. Patients were not considered to harbor CA-MRSA if they had been admitted to a hospital within the preceding 2 years or if their isolate had been obtained more than 72 h after admission. There were 2,817 S. aureusisolates, with 1,071 (38%) being MRSA. Of these 1,071 isolates, 161 were clindamycin susceptible; these were recovered from 81 patients. Of these 81 patients, 20 appeared to have community-acquired strains, but only 2 could be confirmed as having CA-MRSA.

40. Yield of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci and Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacteriaceaefrom Stools Submitted for Clostridium difficileTesting Compared to Results from a Focused Surveillance Program

Author

Hacek, Donna M., Bednarz, Patrice, Noskin, Gary A., Zembower, Teresa, and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTIt has been suggested that a method of performing surveillance for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is to screen specimens submitted for Clostridium difficiletesting. We compared this approach to our focused surveillance program of high-risk units during October 1997 to compare the yield of VRE and multidrug-resistantEnterobacteriaceae(MDRE) with both methods. Of the stools submitted for C. difficiletesting, 14% were positive for VRE or MDRE, whereas rectal swabs from routine surveillance yielded 11% VRE- or MDRE-positive results. Although stools submitted forC. difficiletesting resulted in a higher percentage of positive cultures, 14 VRE- and 2 MDRE-positive patients from our high-risk population were missed because many patients had no stool submitted for C. difficiletesting. Therefore, while screening stools submitted for C. difficiletesting cannot replace our focused surveillance program, it appears advantageous to assess these stools at various intervals to detect new patient reservoirs of drug-resistant organisms that may benefit from routine surveillance cultures.

41. Comparison of the Rodac Imprint Method to Selective Enrichment Broth for Recovery of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci and Drug-Resistant Enterobacteriaceaefrom Environmental Surfaces

Author

Hacek, Donna M., Trick, William E., Collins, Susan M., Noskin, Gary A., and Peterson, Lance R.

Abstract

ABSTRACTWe compared the Rodac imprint technique to selective enrichment broth for detecting vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(MDRE) on surfaces. Rodac plates contained tryptic soy agar with 5% sheep blood, vancomycin (6 µg/ml), ceftazidime (2 µg/ml), amphotericin B (2 µg/ml), and clindamycin (1 µg/ml). Two types of broth were used: brain heart infusion (BHI) and BHI plus vancomycin (6 µg/ml) and ceftazidime (2 µg/ml) (BHIVC). Of the 46 surfaces cultured for VRE, 12 (26%) were positive. Of the 12 VRE-positive surfaces, 11 (92%) grew from Rodac, 8 (67%) grew from BHIVC, and 7 (58%) grew from BHI. A larger study is needed for MDRE, as only 4 of 43 surfaces were MDRE positive. The Rodac imprint technique successfully recovered VRE from environmental surfaces.

Abstract

Since the last IAEA conference, the scientific programme of JET has focused on the qualification of the integrated operating scenarios for ITER and on physics issues essential for the consolidation of design choices and the efficient exploitation of ITER. Particular attention has been given to the characterization of the edge plasma, pedestal energy and edge localized modes (ELMs), and their impact on plasma facing components (PFCs). Various ELM mitigation techniques have been assessed for all ITER operating scenarios using active methods such as resonant magnetic field perturbation, rapid variation of the radial field and pellet pacing. In particular, the amplitude and frequency of type I ELMs have been actively controlled over a wide parameter range (q(95) = 3-4.8, beta(N)

Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignancy frequently diagnosed at the metastatic stage. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in RCC patients, including the peritumoral tissue microenvironment, to characterize the phenotypic patterns and functional characteristics of infiltrating immune cells. T cells from various compartments (peripheral blood, tumor, peritumoral area, and adjacent healthy renal tissue) were assessed using flow cytometry and Luminex analyses, both before and after T cell-specific stimulation, to evaluate activation status and migratory potential. Our findings demonstrated that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) exhibited heightened cytokine production compared to peritumoral T cells (pTILs), acting as the primary source of cytotoxic markers (IFN-γ, granzyme B, and FasL). CD8+ T cells primarily employed Fas Ligand for cytotoxicity, while CD4+ T cells relied on CD107a. In addition, a statistically significant negative correlation between patient mortality and the presence of CD4+CD107+ pTILs was demonstrated. The engagement with the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway was also more evident in CD4+ and CD8+ pTILs as opposed to TILs. PD-L1 expression in the non-leukocyte fraction of the tumor tissue was relatively lower than in their leukocytic counterparts and upon stimulation, peripheral blood T cells displayed much stronger responses to stimulation than TILs and pTILs. Our results suggest that tumor and peritumoral T cells exhibit limited responsiveness to additional activation signals, while peripheral T cells retain their capacity to respond to stimulatory signals

Abstract

Diagnosing the density profile at the edge of high temperature fusion plasmas by an accelerated lithium beam is a known technique since decades. By knowledge of the relevant atomic physics rate coefficients, the plasma electron density profile can be calculated from the relatively calibrated light profile along the beam. Several additional possibilities have already been demonstrated: Charge Exchange Resonance Spectroscopy (CXRS) for ion temperature/flow and Zeeman polarimetry for edge plasma current; therefore the Li-beam diagnostic offers a wealth of information at the plasma edge. The weaknesses of the method are the relatively faint light signal, background light, and technical difficulties of the beam injector which usually seriously limit the applicability. In this talk, we present systematic developments in alkali-beam diagnostics (Li, Na) for the injector and the observation system and detectors which resulted in strongly increased capabilities. Advanced systems have been built, and microsecond scale density profile, turbulence, and zonal flow measurement have been demonstrated. A novel edge current measurement technique has also been designed, and components have been tested with potential microsecond-scale time resolution. Additional possibilities of these advanced systems for spectral measurements (CXRS and various Zeeman schemes) are also discussed.

Abstract

Atomic Beam Probe (ABP) is an extension of the routinely used Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic for plasma edge current fluctuation measurement at magnetically confined plasmas. Beam atoms ionized by the plasma are directed to a curved trajectory by the magnetic field and may be detected close to the wall of the device. The arrival location and current distribution of the ions carry information about the plasma current distribution, the density profile and the electric potential in the plasma edge. This paper describes a micro-Faraday cup matrix detector for the measurement of the few microampere ion current distribution close to the plasma edge. The device implements a shallow Faraday cup matrix, produced by printed-circuit board technology. Secondary electrons induced by the plasma radiation and the ion bombardment are basically confined into the cups by the tokamak magnetic field. Additionally, a double mask is installed in the front face to limit ion influx into the cups and supplement secondary electron suppression. The setup was tested in detail using a Lithium ion beam in the laboratory. Switching time, cross talk and fluctuation sensitivity test results in the lab setup are presented, along with the detector setup to be installed at the COMPASS tokamak., Comment: 10 pages, 18 figures, Review of Scientific Instruments
