Abstract: Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such cross-correlation analyses depends, among other things, on the separation between the two detectors: the smaller the separation, the better the sensitivity. Hence, a co-located detector pair is more sensitive to a gravitational-wave background than a non-co-located detector pair. However, co-located detectors are also expected to suffer from correlated noise from instrumental and environmental effects that could contaminate the measurement of the background. Hence, methods to identify and mitigate the effects of correlated noise are necessary to achieve the potential increase in sensitivity of co-located detectors. Here we report on the first SGWB analysis using the two LIGO Hanford detectors and address the complications arising from correlated environmental noise. We apply correlated noise identification and mitigation techniques to data taken by the two LIGO Hanford detectors, H1 and H2, during LIGO's fifth science run. At low frequencies, 40 - 460 Hz, we are unable to sufficiently mitigate the correlated noise to a level where we may confidently measure or bound the stochastic gravitational-wave signal. However, at high frequencies, 460-1000 Hz, these techniques are sufficient to set a $95%$ confidence level (C.L.) upper limit on the gravitational-wave energy density of \Omega(f)<7.7 x 10^{-4} (f/ 900 Hz)^3, which improves on the previous upper limit by a factor of $\sim 180$. In doing so, we demonstrate techniques that will be useful for future searches using advanced detectors, where correlated noise (e.g., from global magnetic fields) may affect even widely separated detectors., Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures, 5 tables

3. Estudo prospectivo da evolução da doença ulcerosa duodenal. Análise de factores de prognóstico.

Author: S Guerreiro, B Neves, S Va, M Pires, A Gouveia, and M Quina
Subjects: Medicine, Medicine (General), R5-920
Abstract: We conducted a prospective clinical trial of 154 patients with duodenal ulcer disease, which was divided in two different steps: healing phase and post-healing phase. In the first phase, the patients were randomly assigned to treatment with H2 blockers (Ranitidine 300 mg or Famotidine 40 mg), in a single bedtime dose. Endoscopy was performed after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment and the healing rate was 70% and 90%. There were no significant differences between the two drugs. After 12 weeks of treatment there were sixteen patients with non-healed duodenal ulcer, considered as refractory duodenal ulcer disease, in which we started therapy with a double dose of H2 receptor antagonists or sucralfate (4 gr/day). Endoscopic follow-up after 12 weeks of this regimen revealed ulcer healing in about half of them; the cummulative healing rate in 6 months was 96.4%. Persistent lesions after 6 months of follow-up were found in 5 patients. Omeprazole 40 mg, single dose, was given and all of them were healed during the first 4 weeks of treatment. In the second phase, 137 patients healed during the first 3 months of treatment, were followed for 12 months and randomized in two groups: 61, with maintenance therapy--ranitidine 150 mg or famotidine 20 mg; 76, without treatment. In the patients without maintenance therapy, the recurrence rate was significantly higher (p less than 0.55), than in the group with maintenance therapy. In this group several parameters were evaluated--clinical, biochemical and psychosocial--to try to identify some prognostic markers of healing, relapse.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

5. Mutagenic activity of glycine upon nitrosation in the presence of chloride and human gastric juice: A possible role in gastric carcinogenesis

Abstract: The mutagenic activity of glycine upon nitrosation was studied in the Ames tester strains TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA104. The results obtained show that glycine at acidic pH values and in the presence of Cl− can react with nitrite giving rise to genotoxic compounds to the tester strains used. When these experiments were carried out in the presence of gastric juice the genotoxicity observed was associated with the Cl− concentration in the different gastric juice samples. The nature and the mechanism of genetic lesion induced by the ultimate genotoxicant arising from the nitrosation of glycine are not fully understood. Primary amines (e.g., amino acids) have been described as potential alkylating agents after nitrosation. However, in our experimental conditions these alkylating activities were not detected, suggesting that other mechanisms could be involved in the genetic lesion induced by nitrosated glycine. The influence of Cl− in the genotoxic activity of glycine and other primary amines upon nitrosation and its possible involvement in the etiology of gastric cancer are discussed. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

6. Eindrapport harmonisatie meteo-preprocessing

Author: Vermeulen, A.T., Erbrink, J.J., Bosveld, F.C., Sauter, F., and Ratinger, S. va.
Abstract: "In dit rapport is uitvoerig nagegaan welke parameters in de meteorologische preprocessing onderhevig zijn aan keuzemogelijkheden die bij verschillende modellen worden toegepast. Het gaat dan om de volgende zaken: ? Bepaling van wrijvingssnelheid u* en Monin-Obukhov lengte L en begrenzingen ervan ? De windsnelheid (en windrichting; het windveld) en begrenzingen ervan ? De hoogte van de oppervlaktelaag ? Het vertikaal temperatuurprofiel ? De grenslaaghoogte ? De wolkenbasis De werkwijze om u* en L te bepalen is op details te verbeteren: ? handhaaf de begrenzing van L>100*z0 in stabiele condities. ? Laat de ondergrenzen van u* en L voorts los, ? (op meer lange termijn) voor stabiele condities verdient het aanbeveling om te onderzoeken of uitbreiding van de parametrisering van de langgolvige stralingsbalans winst oplevert bij de berekening van de stabiele grenslaaghoogte. Dit heeft alleen zin als er validatiemateriaal voorhanden is, anders wordt het ene concept vervangen door een andere zonder een experimentele toets. Ten aanzien van de windvelden is gezocht naar een methodiek die recht doet aan de beschikbaarheid van meer meetstations van KNMI. Hiervoor zijn diverse mogelijkheden voorhanden, die kunnen leiden tot significante veranderingen in berekende concentraties. Dit heeft dan impact op niet alleen NNM berekeningen, maar ook op SRM1 en SRM2 berekeningen. Aanbevolen wordt dit in samenhang met de werkwijze rond OPS beter uit te zoeken en te komen tot een universele, geaccepteerde en up-to-date windvelden-set (windsnelheden en windrichtingen). Bovendien kan dit niet losgezien worden van de wijze waarop de terreinruwheid wordt gehanteerd in de diverse modellen. Ten aanzien van de terreinruwheid wordt geconcludeerd dat hier sprake is van een relevante omissie in de nu in gebruik zijnde waarden van de ruwheid. Dit wordt veroorzaakt door het baseren van de ruwheid op alleen het landgebruik, waarbij dan niet meegenomen worden de effecten van orografie en lijnelementen. Het is sterk aan te bevelen dit te corrigeren, ook weer in samenhang met de werkwijze in OPS. Het is logischer een oppervlaktelaag hoogte van 0,1*zi aan te nemen (echter dient dit in combinatie met het loslaten van de ondergrens voor menghoogte gedaan te worden!). In het NNM en OPS wordt voor de pluimstijging gebruik gemaakt van een vertikale temperatuurgradiënt, die in OPS een vaste waarde kent en in NNM meer gedifferentieerd is. Een methode voor een meer locatieafhankelijke temperatuurgradiënt in de onderste regionen (10-50 m) wordt aanbevolen en is ingebouwd in de PreSRM. Aanbevolen wordt deze zowel voor OPS als voor NNM toe te passen; tevens wordt ter harmonisatie aanbevolen om de vaste temperatuurgradiënt in OPS te vervangen door naar windrichting en seizoen gedifferentieerde waarden van NNM. Uit rekenexcercities met het NNM is gebleken door toepassing van deze beter onderbouwde temperatuurgradiënten- dat de pluimstijgformules in NNM (en ook in OPS) voor neutrale condities enerzijds en stabiele conditie anderzijds niet goed aansluiten voor relatief kleine emissies (>60 m) en voor relatief korte afstanden (

Abstract: SummaryThe association between apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)], fibrinogen, fibrinopeptide A (FPA) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was analyzed in Eastern Finnish men aged 50 to 60 years. Apo(a) correlated directly with carotid bifurcation (r = 0.26, p = 0.001), but not with common carotid IMT. Men in the lowest quartile of apo(a) had thinner (p = 0.013) IMT in bifurcation [1.59 mm (95% Cl 1.49; 1.68)] compared to the men in the highest [1.91 mm (95% Cl 1.73; 2.09)] apo(a) quartile. The difference remained (p=0.038) after adjusting for confounders. Plasma fibrinogen was not related to carotid IMT, whereas FPA correlated with common carotid (r = 0.21, p = 0.016) and carotid bifurcation (r = 0.21, p = 0.018) IMT. These associations abolished after adjusting for the confounders. The data suggest that apo(a) associate with carotid atherosclerosis independent of other risk factors for ischemic cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract: The origin of the “Monte Carlo method“ historically comes from Los Alamos National Laboratory in the early years after the Second World War and is related with two important events that took place in 1945: the successful test at Alamogordo and the building of the first electronic computer (the ENIAC) (Metropolis, 1987). After the review of the ENIAC results held in the spring of 1946 at Los Alamos, Stanislaw Ulam realized that statistical techniques in combination with the surprising speed and the versatility of this electronic computer could lead to a powerful tool in theoretical calculations (Metropolis, 1987). On March 11, 1947, John von Neumann in a handwritten letter included a detailed outline of a possible statistical approach (incorporating Stanislaw s idea) to solving the problem of neutron diffusion in a spherical core of fissionable material surrounded by a shell of tamper material. At that time, Nick Metropolis suggested the name “Monte Carlo” for the re-emerging sampling technique (Metropolis, 1987). However, a previous work performed by Enrico Fermic in neutron diffusion in Rome in the early thirties, incorporated the essential principles of the Monte Carlo method when he was studying the moderation of neutrons (Metropolis, 1987). Another example of the previous use of this sampling technique is an ancient problem in geometric probability: “The Buffon’s needle problem” which was stated in 1733 and solved (solution published in 1777) by Geroges Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788) (Weisstein, accessed September 2010). In this problem the probability of the needle crossing a line (in a table marked with equidistant parallel lines) is proportional to the inverse of the number π provided that the length of the needle is less than the space between lines. The repetition of this experiment many times results into the assessment of π. During the post-war period the Monte Carlo (MC) method spread into many fields of knowledge such as astrophysics, solid state, optics, etc. One example in astrophysics is the study of the transfer of visible radiation through terrestrial clouds using a MC computer program that incorporated the Henyey-Greenstein phase function to describe the scattering process of water droplet clouds (Danielson et al., 1969). Another illustration of this method appears in the book “The Monte Carlo Methods in Atmospheric Optics” (Marchuk et al., 1980) which had a first Russian edition in 1974. In the preface of this book an acceptable definition of the MC method is given which is reproduced here

9. Uncoupling the Conjugate Heat Transfer Problem in a Horizontal Plate Under the Influence of a Laminar Flow

Author: Ricardo S. Va´squez and Antonio Bula
Subjects: Physics::Fluid Dynamics, Boundary layer, Classical mechanics, Convective heat transfer, Chemistry, Heat transfer, Film temperature, Laminar flow, Heat transfer coefficient, Mechanics, Churchill–Bernstein equation, Nusselt number
Abstract: The conjugate heat transfer process of cooling a horizontal plate in steady state condition is studied. The model considers both solid and fluid regions in Cartesian coordinates. The problem was solved analytically, considering the fluid flowing in a laminar condition and hydrodynamically developed before any interaction with the heated body. The height of the fluid considered was enough to allow the generation of a thermal boundary layer without any restriction. The conservation of mass, momentum and energy equations were considered to turn the problem into a non dimensional form. The heated body presented a constant heat flux at the bottom side, and convective heat transfer at the top side in contact with the fluid. The other two boundary conditions are adiabatic. The energy equation was considered in the solid to turn it into a non dimensional form. The interface temperature was obtained from a regression using the Chebyshev polynomial approximation. As the problem deals with the cooling of a electronics components, the solution presents the mathematical solution of the energy equation for the solid, including the isothermal lines. The non dimensional form allows a thorough analysis of the problem, considering the influence of the different parameters in the conjugate heat transfer problem. The solution is compared with numerical solution of different problems, and the parameters considered are Reynolds number, plate thickness, Prandtl number, and solid thermal conductivity. The results obtained present isothermal lines, local Nusselt number, and average Nusselt number.Copyright © 2003 by ASME

10. Chemical Equilibrium of Butane Combustion in a Perfectly Stirred Reactor: Thermodynamic – Mathematical Model

Author: Ricardo S. Va´squez, Javier E. Camargo, and Antonio Bula
Subjects: Overall pressure ratio, chemistry.chemical_compound, Equilibrium thermodynamics, chemistry, Energy balance, Thermodynamics, Butane, Physics::Chemical Physics, Chemical equilibrium, Combustion, Degree (temperature), Adiabatic flame temperature
Abstract: Based on classic thermo chemistry, energy balance and the introduction of chemical equilibrium, a mathematical and thermodynamic model was developed for the combustion of butane in a perfectly stirred reactor (PSR). In order to obtain this model, it was necessary to take into account certain variables that have a strong effect on combustion such as adiabatic flame temperature, equivalence ratio, equilibrium composition, reactor pressure and the incoming temperature of the reactants (ITR). By using the mathematical model it was possible to obtain graphic solutions for adiabatic flame temperature, equilibrium composition of the different species vs equivalence ratio, composition changes as a function of pressure ratio and the ITR. The mathematical model gave reasonable results, showing values that match with those obtained using complex models. This shows that it is possible to achieve a very simple model for butane combustion by using the basic principles, and what is more important, the results present a high degree of accuracy.Copyright © 2002 by ASME

11. Mutagenic activity of glycine upon nitrosation in the presence of chloride and human gastric juice: a possible role in gastric carcinogenesis

Author: J, Gaspar, A, Laires, S, Va, S, Pereira, A, Mariano, M, Quina, and J, Rueff
Subjects: Salmonella typhimurium, Gastric Juice, Chlorides, Stomach Neoplasms, Nitrosation, Glycine, Microsomes, Liver, Humans, Hydrogen-Ion Concentration, Mutagens
Abstract: The mutagenic activity of glycine upon nitrosation was studied in the Ames tester strains TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA104. The results obtained show that glycine at acidic pH values and in the presence of Cl- can react with nitrite giving rise to genotoxic compounds to the tester strains used. When these experiments were carried out in the presence of gastric juice the genotoxicity observed was associated with the Cl- concentration in the different gastric juice samples. The nature and the mechanism of genetic lesion induced by the ultimate genotoxicant arising from the nitrosation of glycine are not fully understood. Primary amines (e.g., amino acids) have been described as potential alkylating agents after nitrosation. However, in our experimental conditions these alkylating activities were not detected, suggesting that other mechanisms could be involved in the genetic lesion induced by nitrosated glycine. The influence of Cl- in the genotoxic activity of glycine and other primary amines upon nitrosation and its possible involvement in the etiology of gastric cancer are discussed.

Abstract: We conducted a prospective clinical trial of 154 patients with duodenal ulcer disease, which was divided in two different steps: healing phase and post-healing phase. In the first phase, the patients were randomly assigned to treatment with H2 blockers (Ranitidine 300 mg or Famotidine 40 mg), in a single bedtime dose. Endoscopy was performed after 4 and 12 weeks of treatment and the healing rate was 70% and 90%. There were no significant differences between the two drugs. After 12 weeks of treatment there were sixteen patients with non-healed duodenal ulcer, considered as refractory duodenal ulcer disease, in which we started therapy with a double dose of H2 receptor antagonists or sucralfate (4 gr/day). Endoscopic follow-up after 12 weeks of this regimen revealed ulcer healing in about half of them; the cummulative healing rate in 6 months was 96.4%. Persistent lesions after 6 months of follow-up were found in 5 patients. Omeprazole 40 mg, single dose, was given and all of them were healed during the first 4 weeks of treatment. In the second phase, 137 patients healed during the first 3 months of treatment, were followed for 12 months and randomized in two groups: 61, with maintenance therapy--ranitidine 150 mg or famotidine 20 mg; 76, without treatment. In the patients without maintenance therapy, the recurrence rate was significantly higher (p less than 0.55), than in the group with maintenance therapy. In this group several parameters were evaluated--clinical, biochemical and psychosocial--to try to identify some prognostic markers of healing, relapse.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract: 13 p., il., Palynological analyses of samples from a fluvioglacial terrace at 3920 m elevation, in the periglacial belt of the Paramo de Miranda, has shown that, before 11,500 to about 11,120 yr B.P., the very few plants growing in the region belonged to the Gramineae, the Compositae (mainly to Coespeletia) and Montia. The climate was colder than at present. During the early Holocene the concentration of pollen and spores in sediments increased and new pollen types from paramo plants were incorporated. Pollen of the Caryophyllaceae (mainly Arenaria), of Gentiana, Valeriana, Geranium and a few genera of Compositae reached the site. Long-distance pollen, derived from the cloud forest increased and Podocarpus pollen was more abundant than at present. These results suggest that temperatures increased at the beginning of the Holocene, the vegetation attaining a density similar to that of the present, although with fewer species. From 5470 to 2500 yr B.P. pollen and spore concentrations fluctuated and other types, including Rhizocephalum and Isoetes, followed by Draba, Plantago and certain other genera of the Composite were now present in the sediments. From ca 3000 yr B.P. onwards the composition of the pollen assemblages was the same as at present. Two cold phases were detected, one from earlier than 11,500 to 11,120 yr B.P. and another from 6000 to 5250 yr B.P. A warm phase from ca 2690 to 2500 yr B.P. probably represented a rise of about 1.2°C above the modern average temperature. In general terms, the climatic oscillations detected at Miranda are in accordance with those in other parts of South America.

Subjects: biology, Endocrine disruptor, Chemistry, Environmental chemistry, Biological fluids, biology.protein, Endocrine system, Monitoring system, Biosensor, Hormone, Peroxidase
Abstract: Endocrine disruptor compounds are able to mimic or antagonize the effects of endogenous hormones. Phenolic compounds are one of the most abundant classes of endocrine disruptors due to their presence in a broad range of chemical manufacturing processes. The detection of such compounds in food, medicine, and the environment (i.e., water) is crucial to ensure their quality. To prevent the noxious effects of endocrine disruptors an efficient monitoring system is required in order for immediate remediation to be activated. The long-term goal of the project is to develop a robust and stable amperometric enzyme based biosensor able to determine the concentration of phenolic endocrine disruptors. This type of biosensor can be useful to monitor endocrine distruptors in biological fluids and environmental samples as for example the spacecraft drinking water, to ensure the health of the astronauts in space.Copyright © 2010 by ASME

Abstract: WOS: 000438926500008, PubMed ID: 29980595, BACKGROUND: To describe the baseline characteristics of patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction enrolled in the PARAGON-HF trial (Prospective Comparison of Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor With Angiotensin Receptor Blocker Global Outcomes in HFpEF) comparing sacubitril/valsartan to valsartan in reducing morbidity and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: We report key demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings, and baseline therapies, of 4822 patients randomized in PARAGON-HF, grouped by factors that influence criteria for study inclusion. We further compared baseline characteristics of patients enrolled in PARAGON-HF with those patients enrolled in other recent trials of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Among patients enrolled from various regions (16% Asia-Pacific, 37% Central Europe, 7% Latin America, 12% North America, 28% Western Europe), the mean age of patients enrolled in PARAGON-HF was 72.7 +/- 8.4 years, 52% of patients were female, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 57.5%, similar to other trials of HFpEF. Most patients were in New York Heart Association class II, and 38% had >= 1 hospitalizations for heart failure within the previous 9 months. Diabetes mellitus (43%) and chronic kidney disease (47%) were more prevalent than in previous trials of HFpEF. Many patients were prescribed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (85%), beta-blockers (80%), calcium channel blockers (36%), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (24%). As specified in the protocol, virtually all patients were on diuretics, had elevated plasma concentrations of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (median, 911 pg/mL; interquartile range, 464-1610), and structural heart disease. CONCLUSIONS: PARAGON-HF represents a contemporary group of patients with HFpEF with similar age and sex distribution compared with prior HFpEF trials but higher prevalence of comorbidities. These findings provide insights into the impact of inclusion criteria on, and regional variation in, HFpEF patient characteristics., Novartis, The PARAGON-HF trial is funded by Novartis.

Abstract: A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmological origin. It is expected to carry unique signatures from the earliest epochs in the evolution of the universe, inaccessible to the standard astrophysical observations. Direct measurements of the amplitude of this background therefore are of fundamental importance for understanding the evolution of the universe when it was younger than one minute. Here we report direct limits on the amplitude of the stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from a two-year science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). Our result constrains the energy density of the stochastic gravitational-wave background normalized by the critical energy density of the universe, in the frequency band around 100 Hz, to be less than 6.9 x 10^{-6} at 95% confidence. The data rule out models of early universe evolution with relatively large equation-of-state parameter, as well as cosmic (super)string models with relatively small string tension that are favoured in some string theory models. This search for the stochastic background improves upon the indirect limits from the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and cosmic microwave background at 100 Hz.

Abstract: We present a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We determine the expected sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source. For concreteness, we focus primarily on gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary neutron star (BNS) systems, as the source considered likely to be the most common for detection and also promising for multimessenger astronomy. We find that confident detections will likely require at least 2 detectors operating with BNS sensitive ranges of at least 100 Mpc, while ranges approaching 200 Mpc should give at least ~1 BNS detection per year even under pessimistic predictions of signal rates. The ability to localize the source of the detected signals depends on the geographical distribution of the detectors and their relative sensitivity, and can be as large as thousands of square degrees with only 2 sensitive detectors operating. Determining the sky position of a significant fraction of detected signals to areas of 5 sq deg to 20 sq deg will require at least 3 detectors of sensitivity within a factor of ~2 of each other and with a broad frequency bandwidth. Should one of the LIGO detectors be relocated in India as expected, many gravitational-wave signals will be localized to a few square degrees by gravitational-wave observations alone.

Abstract: A search for high-energy neutrinos coming from the direction of the Sun has been performed using the data recorded by the ANTARES neutrino telescope during 2007 and 2008. The neutrino selection criteria have been chosen to maximize the selection of possible signals produced by the self-annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles accumulated in the centre of the Sun with respect to the atmospheric background. After data unblinding, the number of neutrinos observed towards the Sun was found to be compatible with background expectations. The 90% CL upper limits in terms of spin-dependent and spin-independent WIMP-proton cross-sections are derived and compared to predictions of two supersymmetric models, CMSSM and MSSM-7. The ANTARES limits are comparable with those obtained by other neutrino observatories and are more stringent than those obtained by direct search experiments for the spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross-section in the case of hard self-annihilation channels (W+W-, tau(+)tau(-))., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat a l' enegie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Region Alsace (contrat CPER), Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departement du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l'Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments in 2009-2010, during the sixth LIGO science run and the second and third Virgo science runs. We perform two distinct searches: a modeled search for coalescences of either two neutron stars or a neutron star and black hole; and a search for generic, unmodeled gravitational-wave bursts. We find no evidence for gravitational-wave counterparts, either with any individual GRB in this sample or with the population as a whole. For all GRBs we place lower bounds on the distance to the progenitor, under the optimistic assumption of a gravitational-wave emission energy of 10^-2 M c^2 at 150 Hz, with a median limit of 17 Mpc. For short hard GRBs we place exclusion distances on binary neutron star and neutron star-black hole progenitors, using astrophysically motivated priors on the source parameters, with median values of 16 Mpc and 28 Mpc respectively. These distance limits, while significantly larger than for a search that is not aided by GRB satellite observations, are not large enough to expect a coincidence with a GRB. However, projecting these exclusions to the sensitivities of Advanced LIGO and Virgo, which should begin operation in 2015, we find that the detection of gravitational waves associated with GRBs will become quite possible., Comment: Accepted by ApJ. 19 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables, science summary page at http://www.ligo.org/science/Publication-S6GRB/index.php .

Abstract: Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM follow-ups to possible transient GW events has been developed and exercised by the LIGO and Virgo community in association with several partners. In this paper, we describe and evaluate the methods used to promptly identify and localize GW event candidates and to request images of targeted sky locations. Methods. During two observing periods (Dec. 17, 2009 to Jan. 8, 2010 and Sep. 2 to Oct. 20, 2010), a low-latency analysis pipeline was used to identify GW event candidates and to reconstruct maps of possible sky locations. A catalog of nearby galaxies and Milky Way globular clusters was used to select the most promising sky positions to be imaged, and this directional information was delivered to EM observatories with time lags of about thirty minutes. A Monte Carlo simulation has been used to evaluate the low-latency GW pipeline's ability to reconstruct source positions correctly. Results. For signals near the detection threshold, our low-latency algorithms often localized simulated GW burst signals to tens of square degrees, while neutron star/neutron star inspirals and neutron star/black hole inspirals were localized to a few hundred square degrees. Localization precision improves for moderately stronger signals. The correct sky location of signals well above threshold and originating from nearby galaxies may be observed with ∼50% or better probability with a few pointings of wide-field telescopes., United States.

Abstract: 39 pages, 5 figures, Accepted in The Astrophysical Journal; International audience; We present a search for gravitational waves from 116 known millisecond and young pulsars using data from the fifth science run of the LIGO detectors. For this search ephemerides overlapping the run period were obtained for all pulsars using radio and X-ray observations. We demonstrate an updated search method that allows for small uncertainties in the pulsar phase parameters to be included in the search. We report no signal detection from any of the targets and therefore interpret our results as upper limits on the gravitational wave signal strength. The most interesting limits are those for young pulsars. We present updated limits on gravitational radiation from the Crab pulsar, where the measured limit is now a factor of seven below the spin-down limit. This limits the power radiated via gravitational waves to be less than ~2% of the available spin-down power. For the X-ray pulsar J0537-6910 we reach the spin-down limit under the assumption that any gravitational wave signal from it stays phase locked to the X-ray pulses over timing glitches, and for pulsars J1913+1011 and J1952+3252 we are only a factor of a few above the spin-down limit. Of the recycled millisecond pulsars several of the measured upper limits are only about an order of magnitude above their spin-down limits. For these our best (lowest) upper limit on gravitational wave amplitude is 2.3x10^-26 for J1603-7202 and our best (lowest) limit on the inferred pulsar ellipticity is 7.0x10^-8 for J2124-3358.

Abstract: LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration; In gravitational-wave detection, special emphasis is put onto searches that focus on cosmic events detected by other types of astrophysical observatories. The astrophysical triggers, e.g. from gamma-ray and X-ray satellites, optical telescopes and neutrino observatories, provide a trigger time for analyzing gravitational wave data coincident with the event. In certain cases the expected frequency range, source energetics, directional and progenitor information is also available. Beyond allowing the recognition of gravitational waveforms with amplitudes closer to the noise floor of the detector, these triggered searches should also lead to rich science results even before the onset of Advanced LIGO. In this paper we provide a broad review of LIGO's astrophysically triggered searches and the sources they target.

32. A three-step method for preparing cryopreserved samples of apheresis products for post-thaw analysis yields a high recovery of viable cells.

Abstract: Background: Flow cytometry protocols for counting fresh CD34+ cell samples are not ideal for cryopreserved products due to cryoprotectant cytotoxicity. For cryopreserved samples, often large volumes of hypotonic solutions, which can cause cell death, are used to remove the cryoprotectant with a post-thaw wash. We recently developed a novel multistep dilution method with subsequent flow cytometry analysis to allow for accurate and reproducible results. The previous method involved washing steps which invalidate the ability to enumerate cell recovery, and success had to be gauged solely on viability. The new method allows for assessment of total cell recovery and viable cell recovery., Study Design and Methods: Apheresis products were cryopreserved in 10% DMSO at a target WBC concentration of 300 × 10 6 /mL. Cryovials from these products were thawed at 37°C, and samples were diluted 1:2 by three additions of 1/3 sample volume using 1%-Human Albumin in Dextran 40 (10% Low Molecular Weight Dextran in 0.9% NaCl) separated by 5 min between each addition. A 1:10 dilution was performed to obtain the correct cell concentration for flow cytometric analysis resulting in a 1:20 dilution. End WBC concentrations were ~15 × 10 6 /mL with DMSO diluted to 0.5%., Results: Fifty-two samples were tested with this new method. Total and viable cell recoveries were calculated based on pre-cryopreservation data. Median total cell recoveries for CD34 and CD3 were >85%, while median viable cell recoveries were >75%., Discussion: Cryopreserved samples can be reliably prepared for flow cytometric testing using a step-wise dilution to preserve cell integrity and robust recoveries., (© 2024 AABB.)

Abstract: Bioactives derived from marine sources are opening up new therapeutic opportunities for neurosurgery. These include tissue regeneration, neuroprotection, and infection control. These molecules derived from extreme marine conditions have generated new modes of action, for example, selective inhibition of voltage-gated ion channels and influencing pathways of neuroinflammation. Representative examples include chitosan for nerve regeneration, conotoxins for pain modulation, and fucoidan for neuroprotection. Despite therapeutic promise, major challenges remain: those of sustainable sourcing and regulatory validation. This letter points up the potential of marine bioactives to change neurosurgical care and challenges the brain communities to work together across disciplines in order to make that happen., (© 2024.

34. A 3-step method for preparing cryopreserved samples of apheresis products for post-thaw analysis yields a higher percentage of viable cells.

Abstract: Background: Standard flow cytometry protocols for CD34+ cell enumeration designed for fresh samples are not appropriate for cryopreserved products. Special protocols have been developed to remove the cryoprotectant by quickly washing a freshly thawed sample. Exposing cells to a large volume of hypotonic solution and subsequent washing process was hypothesized to cause lab-induced cell death. Moreover, standard gating strategies must be altered to avoid reporting falsely high viabilities., Study Design and Methods: We developed a novel method whereby thawed samples were diluted step-wise to 1:2 by 3 additions of 1/3 sample volume using 1% Human Albumin in Dextran 40 (10% Low Molecular Weight Dextran in 0.9% NaCl) separated by 5 min between each addition. An additional 1:10 dilution was required to obtain a desired cell concentration for flow cytometry testing resulting in a 1:20 dilution., Results: Twenty samples were tested simultaneously in a method comparison; the new method demonstrated significant increases in mean cell viabilities for white blood cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, and T cells as well as reduced standard deviations for each parameter., Discussion: Slow, step-wise dilutions of freshly thawed samples of cryopreserved apheresis products to 1:20 yielded higher and more precise viability measurements compared to quickly washing samples to remove DMSO., (© 2024 AABB.)

Abstract: Objective: The objective of the experiment was to study yeast supplementation (yeast, Y) and dried kratom leaves (DKTL) on the digestibility, ruminal fermentation, blood metabolites and nitrogen balance in goats., Methods: Four of 7 to 8 months old male crossbred (50% Thai Native-Anglo Nubian) goats with average liveweight 20±0.13 kg were randomly assigned according to a 2×2 factorial arrangement in a 4×4 Latin square design to receive four diets ad libitum basis. The study investigated the effects of two levels of yeast (Y) supplementation (Y, 0 and 0.5g/kg dry matter [DM]) along with two levels of DKTL supplementation (DKTL, 0 and 4.44g/kg DM). The experimental groups were as follows: T1 = control group with 0Y+0DKTL, T2 = 0Y+4.44 DKTL, T3 = 0.5Y+0DKTL, and T4 = 0.5Y+4.44 DKTL., Results: The results showed that there were no interactions between Y levels and DKTL levels with respect to total DM intake, but there were significant effects (p<0.05) by levels of Y; goats receiving 0.05 g/kg DM Y had higher than goats fed 0.0 g/kg DM on average (kg/d). A percentage of body weight (% BW) and grams per kilogram of metallic weight (g/kg w0.75) had no influence on yeast levels and DKTL, but there was a difference (p<0.05) by yeast level Y at 0.5 g/kg DM, being higher compared to the non-supplemented group. Apparent digestibility coefficient of nutrition in the form of (DM, organic matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber) was an increased trend in the Y-level complementary group at 0.5 g/kg DM and DKTL at 4.44 g/kg DM, respectively. Protozoa populations decreased in the group receiving Y levels at 0.5 g/kg DM and DKTL levels at 4.44 g/kg DM when compared to group T1. The acetic acid concentration and methane gas generation decreased (p<0.05) in the group receiving Y levels of 0.5 g/kg DM and DKTL levels of 4.44 g/kg DM, while the amount of propionic acid increased (p<0.05)., Conclusion: Effects of feeding combinations of Y and DKTL supplementation on feed showed no interaction effect (Y×DKTL) on feed intake, rumen fermentation, bacterial and fungi population. The effect on protozoal populations was lower in the group that was supplemented with DKTL at 4.44 g/kg DM related to synthetic CH4 was reduced.

36. The Impact of Restorative Practices on the Use of Out-of-School Suspensions: Results from a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.

Author: Huang FL, Gregory A, and Ward-Seidel AR
Subjects: Humans, Suspensions, Ethnicity, Students, Schools
Abstract: The overuse of exclusionary discipline practices, such as out-of-school suspensions (OSS), has consistently been documented over several decades. The resulting racial discipline disparities and the negative outcomes related to OSS have led policy makers and educators to consider other approaches to school discipline. One such approach, which has gained increasing use in the USA, is restorative practices (RP). However, despite its popularity, the experimental evidence base of the effects of RP and suspensions is extremely limited. To add to this knowledge base, we present findings from a cluster randomized controlled trial with 18 K-12 schools in an urban district in the US Northeast with 5878 students. Multilevel regression results, after 1 year of the intervention, showed no differences in the likelihood of suspension between students in the intervention and control schools and that the effects of the intervention did not vary by race/ethnicity, gender, or student disability status. However, for students in the intervention group, we show reductions in the likelihood of receiving an OSS for students who had previously been suspended., (© 2023. Society for Prevention Research.)

37. Effectiveness of Video-Based Online Training for Health Care Workers to Prevent COVID-19 Infection: An Experience at a Tertiary Care Level Institute, Uttarakhand, India.

Author: Sharma R, Mohanty A, Singh V, S VA, Gupta PK, Jelly P, Gupta P, and Rao S
Abstract: Purpose Amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic, traditional teaching methodology took a back foot. However, an urgent need for training health care worker (HCW) on preventive measures for COVID-19 infection was the need of the hour. Keeping in mind the precautionary measures required to combat COVID-19 infection, the only promising option for training was by adopting an online learning method. This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of video-based training using online platforms for infection prevention and control (IPC) training during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A quasi-experimental study, with only one experimental group comprising of HCWs, was undertaken to assess the effect of intervention which included video-assisted teaching-learning regarding IPC measures with a special focus on COVID-19 at a tertiary care Institute in North India. Online sessions were conducted on Do's and Don'ts, Hand Hygiene, donning and doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning and disinfection, and bio-medical waste (BMW) management with the help of pre-recorded videos which was pre-validated. The session was followed by online interaction with participants by a single resource person. Pre-test and post-test were conducted through google forms before commencement and at the end of the online session respectively. The data were analyzed in terms of descriptive frequencies and percentages of different domains to describe the pre- and post-test knowledge. Results A total of 576 participants were included in the study. There was a statistically significant gain in scores of all questions related to cleaning and disinfection; and BMW. No significant change was observed in knowledge regarding the sequence of doffing (p-value: 0.94). The result of pairwise comparisons pre-test and post-test scores showed that intervention through video-assisted teaching-learning resulted in improvement of knowledge which was found to be statistically significant (p-value < 0.001). Conclusion Video-assisted teaching-learning through virtual platforms effectively trained health personnel on infection prevention and control practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. Video-assisted training can successfully be handled by a single resource person to impart the knowledge and skill to the trainee. Virtual teaching and learning is a feasible and efficient method to deliver training to HCWs on infection control practices and this methodology may be adopted in the future for several other training in manpower crunch situations, similar restrictive circumstances as posed by the COVID-19 pandemic., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2021, Sharma et al.)

Abstract: The colonisation of the land by plants was accompanied by the evolution of complex tissues and multicellular structures comprising different cell types as morphological adaptations to the terrestrial environment. Here, we show that the single WIP protein in the early-diverging land plant Marchantia polymorpha L. is required for the development of the multicellular gas exchange structure: the air pore complex. This 16-cell barrel-shaped structure surrounds an opening between epidermal cells that facilitates the exchange of gases between the chamber containing the photosynthetic cells inside the plant and the air outside. Mp WIP is expressed in cells of the developing air pore complex and the morphogenesis of the complex is defective in plants with reduced Mp WIP function. The role of WIP proteins in the control of different multicellular structures in M. polymorpha and the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana suggests that these proteins controlled the development of multicellular structures in the common ancestor of land plants. We hypothesise that WIP genes were subsequently co-opted in the control of morphogenesis of novel multicellular structures that evolved during the diversification of land plants., (© 2017.

Abstract: Background: Anopheles mosquitoes are the only vectors of human malaria. Anopheles species use standing water as breeding sites. Human activities, like the creation of an artificial lake during the implementation of hydroelectric power plants, lead to changes in environmental characteristics and, therefore, may changes the species richness and composition of Anopheles mosquitoes. The aim of the present study was to verify whether or not there is an association between the artificial flooding resulting from the construction of the Jirau hydroelectric power plant, and the richness and composition of anophelines., Methods: Mosquitoes samples were obtained monthly from the Jirau hydroelectric power plant area located at Porto Velho, Rondônia State, using Human Landing Catch (06:00-10:00 PM). Mosquitoes collected were transported to Laboratório de Entomologia Médica FIOCRUZ-RO where they were identified until species using dichotomous key., Results: A total of 6347 anophelines belonging to eight different species were collected. The anophelines species richness was significantly lower during the first flooding stage. Differences in anophelines species composition were found when comparing the first flooding stage with the other stages. Furthermore, the mean number of Anopheles darlingi, the main vector of malaria in the region, increases during the first and the third flooding stages., Conclusions: The continual monitoring of these vectors during the late operational phase may be useful in order to understand how anophelines will behave in this area.

Abstract: Purpose: Pituitary macroadenomas (MACs) represent 10-30 % of Cushing's disease (CD) cases. The aim of this study was to report the clinical, laboratorial and imaging features and postsurgical outcomes of microadenoma (MIC) and MAC patients., Methods: Retrospective study with 317 CD patients (median 32 years old, range 9-71 years) admitted between 1990 and 2014, 74 (23.3 %) of whom had MAC., Results: Hirsutism, plethora facial, muscular weakness and muscular atrophy were more frequent in the MIC patients. Nephrolithiasis, osteopenia, hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea were more prevalent in MAC patients. The morning serum cortisol (Fs), nocturnal salivary cortisol (NSC), nocturnal Fs (Fs 2400 h), low- and high-dose dexamethasone suppression test results and CRH and desmopressin test results were similar between the subgroups. MIC patients showed higher urinary cortisol at 24 h (UC), and MAC patients presented higher ACTH levels but lower Fs/ACTH, Fs 2400 h/ACTH, NSC/ACTH and UC/ACTH ratios. There were negative correlations of tumour size with Fs/ACTH, Fs 2400 h/ACTH, NSC/ACTH and UC/ACTH ratios. Overall, the postsurgical remission and recurrence rates were similar between MIC and MAC. However, patients in remission (MIC + MAC) showed smaller tumour diameters and a lower prevalence of invasion and extension on MRI., Conclusions: Despite exhibiting higher plasma ACTH levels, CD patients with MAC presented lower cortisol/ACTH ratios than did patients with MIC, with a negative correlation between tumour size and cortisol/ACTH ratios. The overall postsurgical remission and recurrence rates were similar between MIC and MAC patients, with those with larger and/or invasive tumours showing a lower remission rate.

Abstract: Overconsumption of fructose increases the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity and metabolic syndrome. NAFLD is currently one of the most common etiologies of chronic liver disease worldwide. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of zingerone against fructose-enriched diet-induced rat model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Male albino Wistar rats were used and randomly divided into four groups: group 1, control rats fed with standard pellet; group 2, rats were fed normal pellet with intragastric intubation of zingerone (100 mg/kg/day); group 3, rats were fed fructose enriched diet alone; group 4, rats were fed fructose enriched diet with intragastric intubation of zingerone (100 mg/kg/day). Body weight, abdominal circumference, blood glucose, lipid profile and hepatic function indicators were increased and HDL reduced in group 3 rats. Liver pathology of group 3 showed marked changes which includes micro- and macrovesicular steatosis, marked inflammatory cell infiltration, sinusoidal fibrosis and with a significant increase in the area percentage of the collagen. Administration of zingerone reversed the fructose enriched diet induced changes especially body weight, abdominal circumference, blood glucose, lipid profile, hepatic function indicators and restored pathological alteration of liver. Taken together these data provide new insights into the preventive approach of zingerone against the development of the NAFLD.

Abstract: The partial substitution of sodium chloride by potassium chloride (0%, 25%, and 50%) and addition of arginine (1% w/w) in probiotic Minas cheese was investigated. Microbiological (Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus counts, and functionality of the prebiotics L. acidophilus), physicochemical (pH, proteolysis, organic acids, fatty acids, and volatile profiles), rheological (uniaxial compression) and sensory (hedonic test with 100 consumers) characterizations were carried out. The sodium reduction and addition of arginine did not constitute a hurdle to lactic and probiotic bacteria survival, with presented values of about 9 log CFU/g, ranging from 7.11 to 9.21 log CFU/g, respectively. In addition, lower pH values, higher proteolysis, and a decrease in toughness, elasticity and firmness were observed, as well as an increase in lactic, citric, and acetic acid contents. In contrast, no change was observed in the fatty acid profile. With respect to the sensory acceptance, the probiotic low-sodium Minas cheese presented scores above 6.00 (liked slightly) for the attributes flavor and overall acceptance. The addition of arginine can be a potential alternative for the development of probiotic dairy products with reduced sodium content., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

Abstract: The colonization of the land by plants, sometime before 470 million years ago, was accompanied by the evolution tissue systems [1-3]. Specialized structures with diverse functions-from nutrient acquisition to reproduction-derived from single cells in the outermost layer (epidermis) were important sources of morphological innovation at this time [2, 4, 5]. In extant plants, these structures may be unicellular extensions, such as root hairs or rhizoids [6-9], or multicellular structures, such as asexual propagules or secretory hairs (papillae) [10-12]. Here, we show that a ROOTHAIR DEFECTIVE SIX-LIKE (RSL) class I basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor positively regulates the development of the unicellular and multicellular structures that develop from individual cells that expand out of the epidermal plane of the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha; mutants that lack MpRSL1 function do not develop rhizoids, slime papillae, mucilage papillae, or gemmae. Furthermore, we discovered that RSL class I genes are also required for the development of multicellular axillary hairs on the gametophyte of the moss Physcomitrella patens. Because class I RSL proteins also control the development of rhizoids in mosses and root hairs in angiosperms [13, 14], these data demonstrate that the function of RSL class I genes was to control the development of structures derived from single epidermal cells in the common ancestor of the land plants. Class I RSL genes therefore controlled the generation of adaptive morphological diversity as plants colonized the land from the water., (Copyright © 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..

Abstract: In communities with an increased prevalence of hereditary deafness, social, and linguistic adaptations are found in response. Aulbers (1959) describes a high prevalence of deafness in a fishing village on the Dutch coast: Katwijk aan Zee. This article aims to assess the current prevalence of deafness in Katwijk, as well as the current sign language situation there. To this end, data were collected from various sources, including governmental studies on public health, archives, a genealogical database and interviews with deaf inhabitants of Katwijk. The various types of data confirm the presence of a higher prevalence of deafness in Katwijk that continues to date. Linguistic and anthropological research is needed to establish to what extent this has affected the experience and position of deaf people and their sign language usage in Katwijk., (© The Author 2015.

Abstract: Objective: The expression of transcription factors involved in early pituitary development, such as PROP1 and POU1F1, has been detected in pituitary adenoma tissues. In this study, we sought to characterize the transcriptional profiles of PROP1, POU1F1, and TBX19 in functioning and nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas in an attempt to identify their roles in tumorigenesis and hormone hypersecretion., Methods: RT-qPCR analyses were performed to assess the transcriptional pattern of PROP1, POU1F1, TBX19, and hormone-producing genes in tissue samples of corticotrophinomas (n=10), somatotrophinomas (n=8), and nonfunctioning adenomas (n=6)., Results: Compared with normal pituitary tissue, POU1F1 was overexpressed in somatotrophinomas by 3-fold. PROP1 expression was 18-fold higher in corticotrophinomas, 10-fold higher in somatotrophinomas, and 3-fold higher in nonfunctioning adenomas. TBX19 expression was 27-fold higher in corticotrophinomas. Additionally, the level of TBX19 mRNA positively correlated with that of pro-opiomelanocortin (r=0.49, p=0.014)., Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that PROP1 is overexpressed in pituitary adenomas, mainly in corticotrophinomas. Together with previously published data showing that patients who harbor PROP1 loss-of-function mutations present a progressive decline in corticotrope function, our results support a role for PROP1 in pituitary tumor development and in the maintenance of cell lineages committed to corticotrophic differentiation.

Abstract: The current report describes an outbreak of vesicular disease affecting dairy cows in midwestern Brazil in which a coinfection with 2 poxviruses-Vaccinia virus (VACV) and a parapoxvirus-was demonstrated. Milking cows presented vesicles, painful reddish or whitish papules, and scabby proliferative lesions in the teats and udder, in a clinical course of approximately 10-21 days. Histologically, multifocal areas of moderate to severe acanthosis, spongiosis, hypergranulosis, and parakeratotic or orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis with adjacent focally extensive ulcers were observed in the epidermis. Rounded eosinophilic inclusion bodies were observed in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of areas with acanthosis or necrosis. Moderate inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, neutrophils, and macrophages were observed in some dermal areas. Two people milking the affected cows developed lesions on the hands, painful papules which progressed to ulcerative and scabby lesions in 4-7 days. Electron microscopy of scabs from 1 cow revealed the concomitant presence of orthopoxvirus and parapoxvirus particles. Scabs from 2 cows were positive by polymerase chain reaction for the parapoxvirus B2L gene; 1 of the scabs was also positive for the VACV vgf gene. Nucleotide sequencing of the B2L amplicon revealed a similarity of 96-99% with Orf virus (ORFV) and lower identity with Pseudocowpox virus (92-95%) and Bovine papular stomatitis virus (85-86%). Nucleotide sequencing of a region of parapoxvirus DNA polymerase gene revealed a high similarity (98-100%) with ORFV sequences. Thus, an unusual coinfection with VACV and a parapoxvirus, likely ORFV, was demonstrated in the outbreak.

Abstract: Background: Almost all land plants develop tip-growing filamentous cells at the interface between the plant and substrate (the soil). Root hairs form on the surface of roots of sporophytes (the multicellular diploid phase of the life cycle) in vascular plants. Rhizoids develop on the free-living gametophytes of vascular and non-vascular plants and on both gametophytes and sporophytes of the extinct rhyniophytes. Extant lycophytes (clubmosses and quillworts) and monilophytes (ferns and horsetails) develop both free-living gametophytes and free-living sporophytes. These gametophytes and sporophytes grow in close contact with the soil and develop rhizoids and root hairs, respectively., Scope: Here we review the development and function of rhizoids and root hairs in extant groups of land plants. Root hairs are important for the uptake of nutrients with limited mobility in the soil such as phosphate. Rhizoids have a variety of functions including water transport and adhesion to surfaces in some mosses and liverworts., Conclusions: A similar gene regulatory network controls the development of rhizoids in moss gametophytes and root hairs on the roots of vascular plant sporophytes. It is likely that this gene regulatory network first operated in the gametophyte of the earliest land plants. We propose that later it functioned in sporophytes as the diploid phase evolved a free-living habit and developed an interface with the soil. This transference of gene function from gametophyte to sporophyte could provide a mechanism that, at least in part, explains the increase in morphological diversity of sporophytes that occurred during the radiation of land plants in the Devonian Period.

Abstract: Bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) is a parapoxvirus associated with papular and erosive lesions on the muzzle, lips, and oral mucosa of cattle. Teats of milking cows are occasionally affected, and the infection is frequently transmitted to human beings. The present report describes an outbreak of BPSV infection affecting cows in midwestern Brazil, with human involvement. The disease was observed in neighboring small hand-milking farms, affecting 20 milking cows. The signs included painful reddish papules, ulcers, and scabby proliferative lesions on the teats, with a clinical course of 7-12 days. Affected cows presented severe local pain, not allowing the completion of milking. Histologically, acanthosis, spongiosis, and parakeratotic hyperkeratosis with adjacent focally extensive ulcers and multifocal inflammatory infiltrate were observed in the epidermis. Eosinophilic inclusion bodies were noted in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. Personnel milking the affected cows developed lesions on the hands, painful papules that progressed to ulcerative and scabby lesions in 4-7 days. A polymerase chain reaction using a set of pan-parapoxvirus primers for the B2L gene performed on DNA extracted from scabs amplified a 590-bp product, which when sequenced, revealed similarities of 99%, 85%, and 84% with BPSV, Pseudocowpox virus, and Orf virus, respectively. A phylogenetic tree based on the B2L sequence was constructed, showing that the virus clustered with BPSV isolates. Although clinical cases compatible with BSPV infection have been frequently described in Brazil, the present report identifies the agent associated with cattle and human disease in the country.

Abstract: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease. Certain chromosomal translocations are associated with clinical outcome, but it is likely that there are both tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes that cooperate with the primary translocations. We have used the Mitelman database to compare chromosomal losses and gains of DLBCL possessing t(14;18), t(8;14), or t(3;14) with DLBCL lacking any of these translocations. The data we obtained are low resolution, but results for t(3;14) validate the methodology. In accord with the literature, loss of 6q was associated with t(3;14). Chromosomes 11, 13, and X were gained significantly in t(3;14), whereas 8p23 was lost. Cases with t(14;18) were associated with gains of chromosomes 7 and 12; cases with t(8;14) were associated with gains of chromosomes 1 and 4.

Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the ability of polymeric nanocapsules (NCs) radiolabeled with technetium-99m D,L-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (Tc-HMPAO) to identify inflammatory process in an experimental model., Methods: NCs were prepared by interfacial deposition of preformed biodegradable polymer [poly (D,L-lactic acid) (PLA) and PLA-PEG (polyethyleneglycol)] followed by a solvent displacement. The size and homogeneity, and zeta potential of the NC preparations were determined in a Zetasizer by photon correlation spectroscopy and laser Doppler anemometry, respectively. The NCs radiolabeled with Tc-HMPAO were administered intravenously to Wistar male rats bearing a focal inflammation induced by subplantar injection of carrageenan in the right foot. At preestablished time intervals, the animals were anesthetized, tissues were removed and radioactivity was determined using an automatic scintillation apparatus., Results: The average diameter calculated by photon correlation spectroscopy varied from 216 to 323 nm. The biodistribution studies showed a greater uptake of the PEG surface-modified Tc-HMPAO-NC by the inflamed paws when compared with the respective controls. There was no significant difference in the uptake of conventional Tc-HMPAO-NC and of free Tc-HMPAO by inflamed and control paws. These results indicate that the PLA-PEG Tc-NC showed a higher uptake in inflammation compared with free complex and may be useful as a radiotracer to identify these foci.
