Abstract

Background: The NHLBI has not developed clinical practice guidelines since 2007. As a result, multiple organizations have released competing guidelines. This has created confusion and debate among clinicians as to which recommendations are most applicable for practice. Objectives: To explore preliminary attitudes, awareness, and usage of clinical practice guidelines in practice and teaching for hypertension, dyslipidemia and asthma among clinical pharmacists. Methods: Clinical pharmacists across the US were surveyed electronically over a two week period in Spring 2019 regarding utilization and knowledge of practice guidelines for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and asthma. Clinical cases were included to evaluate application of guidelines. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square analysis, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were conducted. Statistical significance level was set to 0.01 to account for multiple tests conducted on the same survey participants. Results: Forty-eight, 34, and 28 pharmacists voluntarily completed hypertension, dyslipidemia, and asthma survey questions, respectively. Interactions by disease state (p < 0.001) revealed more pharmacists (93%) reporting to have ≤50% patient load in managing asthma and more pharmacists (95%) had read the full summary/report of the most recent hypertension guideline. Primary reasons why the most recent guideline was not selected were also significantly different by disease state (interaction; p < 0.001). For dyslipidemia and asthma, pharmacists had a higher mean rating of agreement (p < 0.007) in having the most confidence in the most recent as compared to older guidelines. Proportionally more clinical cases were answered correctly (interaction; p < 0.001) when pharmacists applied the most recent guideline for hypertension (84%), while the opposite outcome was found for asthma (27%). Conclusion: While more pharmacists selected the most recent guideline for practice and teaching, there was inconsistent application of guidelines to clinical cases. Further studies with a larger representation of pharmacists are warranted to more definitively determine factors influencing guideline preference and usage.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity, accounting for around 17.3 million deaths worldwide. Recent studies have linked periodontitis to CVD with the periodonto-pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia thought to contribute and exacerbate atherosclerosis through interactions with platelets. To date, while platelet activation following challenge with periodonto-pathogens has been reported, the underlying mechanisms of these interactions are yet to be elucidated. The aim of this study is to determine how periodonto-pathogens interact with platelets using both megakaryocytic cells and isolated platelets. Methods: To characterise expression levels of surface markers including ubiquitously expressed platelet-specific markers (CD41, CD42b) and platelet activation markers (CD62P, PAC-1), a multi-colour flow cytometry panel was developed using undifferentiated megakaryocytic cells CHRF-288-11 before validation using platelets isolated from healthy donors. Changes in levels of surface markers following bacterial challenge both with megakaryocytic cells and isolated platelets were determined using flow cytometry. Interaction with pathogens was visualised by platelet aggregometry and fluorescence microscopy using pathogen-specific antibodies. Results and conclusions: Both pathogens invaded megakaryocytic cells as visualised by immunofluorescence microscopy. The pathogens also bound platelets causing increased levels of aggregation and upregulated expression of activation markers including in CD62P in flow cytometric assays.

Abstract

Mainstays of current treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) focus on supportive care and rely on intrinsic organ recovery. Animal models of ARDS are often limited by systemic injury. We hypothesize that superimposing gastric aspiration and ventilator-induced injury will induce a lung-specific injury model of severe ARDS.Adult swine (n = 8) were subject to a 12 h injury development period followed by 24 h of post-injury monitoring. Lung injury was induced with gastric secretions (3 cc/kg body weight/lung, pH 1-2) instilled to bilateral mainstem bronchi under direct bronchoscopic vision. Ventilator settings within the injury period contradicted baseline settings using high tidal volumes and low positive end-expiratory pressure. Baseline settings were restored following the injury period. Arterial oxygenation and lung compliance were monitored.At 12 h, PaOTwelve hours of high tidal volume and low positive end-expiratory pressure in conjunction with low-pH gastric content instillation produces significant acute lung injury in swine. This large animal model may be useful for testing severe ARDS treatment strategies.

Abstract

Many residency programs struggle to meet the ACGME requirement for resident participation in quality improvement initiatives.As part of an institutional quality improvement effort, trainees from the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology at a single academic medical center were teamed with institutional content experts in 7 key risk factor areas within preoperative patient optimization. A systematic review of each subject matter area was performed using the MEDLINE database. Institutional recommendations for the screening and management of each risk factor were developed and approved using modified Delphi consensus methodology. Upon project completion, an electronic survey was administered to all individuals who participated in the process to assess the perceived value of participation.Fifty-one perioperative stakeholders participated in recommendation development: 26 trainees and 25 content experts. Residents led 6 out of 7 groups specific to a subject area within preoperative optimization. A total of 4,649 abstracts were identified, of which 456 full-text articles were selected for inclusion in recommendation development. Seventeen out of 26 (65.4%) trainees completed the survey. The vast majority of trainees reported increased understanding of their preoperative optimization subject area (15/17 [88.2%]) as well as the Delphi consensus method (14/17 [82.4%]) after participation in the project. Fourteen out of 17 (82.4%) trainees stated that they would participate in a similar quality improvement initiative again.We demonstrate a novel way to involve trainees in an institutional quality initiative that served to educate trainees in quality improvement, the systematic review process, Delphi methodology, and preoperative optimization. This study provides a framework that other residency programs can use to engage residents in institutional quality improvement efforts.

Abstract

The generation of initial or inflow synthetic turbulent velocity or scalar fields reproducing statistical characteristics of realistic turbulence is still a challenge. The synthetic eddy method, previously introduced in the context of inflow conditions for large eddy simulations, is based on the assumption that turbulence can be regarded as a superposition of coherent structures. In this paper, a new type of synthetic eddy method is proposed, where the fundamental eddy is constructed by superposing three Hill's vortices, with their axes orthogonal to each other. A distribution of Hill's vortices is used to synthesize an anisotropic turbulent velocity field that satisfies the incompressibility condition and match a given Reynolds stress tensor. The amplitudes of the three vortices that form the fundamental eddy are calculated from known Reynolds stress profiles through a transformation from the physical reference frame to the principal-axis reference frame. In this way, divergence-free anisotropic turbulent velocity fields are obtained that can reproduce a given Reynolds stress tensor. The model was tested on both isotropic and anisotropic turbulent velocity fields, in the framework of grid turbulence decay and turbulent channel flow, respectively. The transition from artificial to realistic turbulence in the proximity to the inflow boundary was found to be small in all test cases that were considered., 30 pages. Flow Turbulence Combust (2021)

Abstract

With the increased application of large eddy simulation techniques, the generation of realistic turbulence at inflow boundaries is crucial for the accuracy of a simulation. The Control Forced Concurrent Precursor Method (CFCPM) proposed in this work combines an existing concurrent precursor method and a mean flow forcing method with a new extension of the controlled forcing method to impose turbulent inflow boundary conditions primarily, although not exclusively, for domains that require periodic boundary conditions. Turbulent inflow boundary conditions are imposed through a region of body forces added to the momentum equations of the main simulation that transfers the precursor simulation into the main domain. Controlled forcing planes, which come into play as body forces added to the momentum equations on planes perpendicular to the flow, located in the precursor simulation, allow for specific Reynolds stress tensors and mean velocities to be imposed. The mean flow controlled forcing method only modifies the mean velocity profiles, leaving the fluctuating velocity field untouched. The proposed fluctuating flow controlled forcing methods extends the application of the original controlled forcing method to multiple fluctuating velocity components and couples their calculation in order to amplify the existing fluctuations present in the precursor flow field so that prescribed anisotropic Reynolds stress tensors can be reproduced. The new method was tested on high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer flow over a wall-mounted cube and low Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer flow over a backward-facing step. It was found that the new extension of the controlled forcing method reduced the development time for both test cases considered here when compared to not using controlled forcing and only using the original controlled forcing method., 18 pages, 11 figure, under consideration for publication in 'Flow, Turbulence and Combustion'

Abstract

In 2012, of the ten ongoing intrastate conflicts in Africa, half had seen at least one relapse into violence after an agreement had been signed between warring parties. This statistic tells the story of stalled and failed peace processes on the continent, but it does not point to potential causes for these failures. By comparing the Sudan People's Liberation Army's divergent decisions during different peace processes in 1997 and 2005, this article finds that changes in the group's grievances and cost-benefit analysis influenced its leaders' decision to participate in or spoil a peace process. Resume: En 2012, sur les dix conflits civils en cours en Afrique, la moitie au moins avait vu au moins une instance de recrudescence de violence apres un accord qui avait ete signe entre des factions opposees. Cette statistique raconte l'histoire des processus de paix bloques et echoues sur le continent, mais elle n'explique pas les causes possibles de ces echecs. En comparant des decisions divergentes de l'Armee populaire de liberation au Soudan au cours des processus de paix tentes en 1997 et 2005, cet article conclut que l'evolution des reclamations des groupes de rebelles, ainsi qu'une analyse couts-benefices faite par les dirigeants en place, ont eu une influence sur leur decision de participer d'une maniere productive ou destructive aux processus de paix en cours.

Abstract

Aims To establish resilience support for paediatric trainees. Introduction Resilience, the capacity to recover, has never been more important in medicine. These have been exceptionally threatening times for trainees with contract changes resulting in unprecedented strikes. Doctors generally report problems of professional isolation, fragmentation of care for patients, and poor communication1. The opportunity to offer training was explored. Methods Two surveys were completed with outgoing paediatric trainees (and consultants) and the new intake. They asked what resilience meant to the doctors, what their personal strategies at work and home were and what they would like from resilience training. Results Twenty (28%) then 15 (75%) responded. Resilience was seen as a range of skills from the ability to battle stress, determination, to suffering in silence. Coping strategies included exercise, talking to family and praying. Only one person referenced drinking alcohol. Strategies fell into 5 groups Reflection/perspective Time out/balance Spiritual Exercise/activities Talking to family/friends All responders thought resilience training would be useful and a six week programme was set up following a successful pilot. The topics were given states of mind as titles including frustration, sadness, fatigue, happiness and optimism. Exercises have included using the arts, food, yoga and simply the opportunity to talk. From this and in support of all junior doctors, a multidisciplinary blog (‘recalibrat8’ on Tumblr and ‘Recalibrate’ on Facebook) was commissioned by the Trust Guardian of Safety which draws from national sources. Feedback has been extremely positive. Conclusion The GMC recognizes that all NHS organisations including itself, could ‘do more to recognise the intense pressures on the profession and make it more acceptable for people to ask for help when they are struggling.’2 Resilience is built on personal qualities and early influences but can be taught. Equally important is recognition that doctors of all levels of training might struggle and they need a space to talk about fears, learn new skills and share their personal experience whilst developing an understanding of their mental health and physical limitations. In this way compassion for themselves and others can be allowed to grow and in so doing make for better doctors. References Rimmer, A Overstretched doctors must be encouraged to seek help, GMC says.

Abstract

Introduction A history of missed healthcare appointments is a consistent finding in most of the serious case reviews of all children who have been seriously harmed through child abuse, particularly neglect.1Minimising missed clinic appointments is not only in the best interest of the child but also for the trust, financially. The National Audit Office found that missed first outpatient appointments cost the NHS up to £225 million in 2012/ 2013. Aims 1. To classify the profile of children not brought to developmental clinic appointments. 2. To investigate barriers to attendance. 3. Identifying options to minimise such barriers and ways to support the family. Methods Data was collated from Trust records, the departmental databases, patient files and a questionnaire based telephone survey of parents/carers of children with missed developmental clinic appointments in August/September 2016. Results The trust-wide, missed appointment rate (outpatient appointments) for 2015–2016 was14.2% vs 17.9% in Developmental paediatrics. There were 62 missed appointments in developmental paediatrics (24%). Of these, 61% were follow up appointments; 60% being morning appointments. Seventy three percent of children were male, 65% between 5–11 years, 40% had previously missed appointments and 11% attended special needs schools. Seventy three percent of children had multiple comorbidities. 24% had complicated social situations including inadequate housing and safeguarding concerns (13%). In total, 40 (65%) participated in the telephone survey. The most common reasons for missing were forgetting (46.5%). 40 percent want a ‘choose and book’ option. Only 12 percent preferred weekend appointment. All requested a reminder, preferably by text message [87%] a day or two days before [70%]. Conclusion A majority of children not brought to the clinic had multiple comorbidity with some having additional safeguarding concerns. The major barrier to attendance is parents either for- getting or not able to change the date. Targeted interventions in the form of multiple reminders by text messages, an option of ‘choose and book’ and a venue closer to their address will be useful in supporting those families.

Abstract

Reaction of 1,2-bis-N-[2′-(diphenyl-phosphanyl)benzoyl]diaminobenzene (H2N2P2: H21) with Ni(ClO4)2 produced the corresponding tetradentate diamidato-bis(phosphine) nickel(II) complex Ni(N2P2) (2). Reactivity studies of 2 with reductants yielded the orthometallated product [M+][Ni(N2PC)] ([M+][3]), where M = Cp∗2CoIII or NBu4 and N2PC = N-((2-diphenylphosphino)-benzoyl)-N′-((1-phen-2-idyl)oxomethyl)-1,2-diaminobenzene, via reductive cleavage of one of the PPh2 groups of H21. The synthesis and characterization of the complexes are described.

Abstract

The reaction of Pt(COD)Cl2, where COD is 1,5-cyclooctadiene, with one equivalent of a diamidato-bis(phosphino) Trost ligand ((R,R)-2 = N,N′-bis(2-diphenylphosphino-1-benzoyl)-(1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, (R,R)-3 = N,N′-bis(2-diphenylphosphino-1-naphthoyl)-(1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, or (±)-4 = N,N′-bis(2-diphenylphosphino-1-benzoyl)-1,2-bis(aminobenzene)) in the presence of base afforded square planar diamidato-bis(phosphino) platinum(II) complexes (R,R)-2-Pt, (R,R)-3-Pt, (±)-4-Pt. Characterization of all complexes included the solution and solid state structure determination of each complex based on multinuclear NMR and X-ray analyses, respectively. Stability of the complexes in acid was examined on addition of HCl to (R,R)-2-Pt in chloroform and compared to the unreactive nature of the similar diamidato-bis(phosphino) complex 1-Pt (1 = 1,2-bis-N-[2′-(diphenylphosphino)benzoyl]diamino-benzene) in the presence of acid. Protonation of the bound amidato nitrogen atoms of (R,R)-2-Pt was observed along with decoordination of the nitrogen atoms from the platinum(II) center producing (R,R)-2-PtCl2 in quantitative yield by NMR analysis. Confirmation of the product was made on comparison of the NMR spectra to that of authentic (R,R)-2-PtCl2 prepared on reaction of Pt(COD)Cl2 with (R,R)-2 in CH2Cl2 and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy. Results add to the knowledge of rich coordination chemistry of bis(phosphino) ligands with late transition metals, metal–amidato chemistry, and has implications in catalysis.

Abstract

Two samples of exclusive semileptonic decays, 579 B0 -> D*+l-νl events and 261 B0 -> D+l-νl events, are selected from approximately 3.9 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP. From the reconstructed differential decay rate of each sample, the product of the hadronic form factor F(ω) at zero recoil of the D(*)+ meson and the CKM matrix element Vcb are measured to be FD*+ (1) Vcb = (31.9 +/- 1.8stat +/- 1.9syst) × 10-3,FD+ (1) Vcb = (27.8 +/- 6.8stat +/- 6.5syst) × 10-3. The ratio of the form factorsFD+ (1) and FD*+ (1) is measured to beFD+ (1)/FD*+ (1) = 0.87 +/- 0.22stat +/- 0.21syst. A value of Vcb is extracted from the two samples, using theoretical constraints on the slope and curvature of the hadronic form factors and their normalization at zero recoil, with the result Vcb = (34.4 +/- 1.6stat +/- 2.3syst +/- 1.4th) × 10-3. The branching fractions are measured from the two integrated spectra to be Br(B0 -> D*+l-νl) = (5.53 +/- 0.26stat +/- 0.52syst) %, Br(B0 -> D+l-νl) = (2.35 +/- 0.20stat +/- 0.44syst) %.

Abstract

It is generally known that the initiation of two-dimensional instabilities inside a laminar boundary layer under the effect of free-stream acoustic disturbances is primarily the result of streamwise variations of the baseline flow (usually occuring in the presence of surface inhomogeneities). In fact, this can be linked to streamwise variations of the mean pressure, responsible for the transfer of low wavenumbers associated with the acoustic waves to high wavenumber Tollmien-Schlighting waves residing inside the boundary layer. A step excrescence is a type of surface inhomogeneity that may disturb the mean flow, depending on the type (backward or forward) or the height of the step. In this paper, the effect of free-stream pressure gradients on the boundary layer evolving over a flat plate featuring a forward or a backward step excrescence is studied numerically. Both adverse and favorable pressure gradients obtained from Falkner-Skan type flows are imposed using a porous condition at the upper boundary of the domain. The effect of freestream acoustic disturbances with the frequency in the same range as the Tollmien-Schlighting waves frequency are also included. The numerical tool is a high-order numerical algorithm solving for the unsteady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations in body-fitted curvilinear coordinates.

Abstract

The inclusive production of charmed particles in Z--> decays has been measured from the yield of D-0, D+, D-s(+) and Lambda(c)(+) decays in a sample of events with high b purity collected with the ALEPH detector from 1992 to 1995. From these measurements, adding the charmonia production rate and an estimate of the charmed strange baryon contribution, the average number of charm quarks per b decay is determined to be n(c)=1.230+/-0.036+/-0.038+/-0.053, where the uncertainties are due to statistics, systematic effects and branching ratios, respectively.

Abstract

Searches for supersymmetric particles produced in e(+)e(-) collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV have been performed in a data sample of 5.7 pb(-1) collected in the autumn of 1995 by the ALEPH detector at LEP. No candidate events were found, allowing limits to be set on the masses and production cross-sections of scalar leptons, scalar tops, charginos and neutralinos. The domains previously excluded at LEP1 are substantially extended. For instance, masses of gaugino-like charginos smaller than 67.8 GeV/c(2) are excluded at the 95% C.L. for scalar neutrino masses larger than 200 GeV/c(2).

Abstract

The lifetime of the Bs0 meson is measured in approximately 3 million hadronic Z decays accumulated using the ALEPH detector at LEP from 1991 to 1994. Seven different Ds− decay modes were reconstructed and combined with an opposite sign lepton as evidence of semileptonic Bs0 decays. Two hundred and eight Ds−l+ candidates satisfy selection criteria designed to ensure precise proper time reconstruction and yield a measured Bs0 lifetime of τ(Bs0) = 1.59−0.15+0.17 (stat) ±0.03 (syst) ps. Using a larger, less constrained sample of events, the product branching ratio is measured to be Br ( b → B s 0 ) · Br(B s 0 → D s − l + νX) = 0.82 ± 0.09 (stat) −0.14+0.13 (syst) %.

Abstract

Using 1.45 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP, the b → τ − ν - τ X branching ratio is measured to be 2.75 ± 0.30 ± 0.37%. In addition an upper limit of 1.8 × 10 −3 at 90% confidence level is placed upon the exclusive branching ratio of B − → τ − ν - τ . These measurements are consistent with SM expectations, and put the constraint tan β M h ± GeV −1 at 90% confidence level on all Type II two Higgs doublet models (such as the MSSM).

Abstract

The branching fraction of Z → b b relative to all hadronic decays of the Z has been measured using event shape variables to preferentially select Z → b b events. The method chosen applies a combination of shape discriminators and the selection of high transverse momentum leptons to event hemispheres. From a sample of 440 000 hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the ration Γ b b Γ had = 0.228±0.005( stat. )±0.005( syst. ) is measured.

Abstract

The result of a search for high mass photon pairs from the processes e + e − → f f γγ (f = e, μ, τ, v and q) with the ALEPH detector is reported. The result for f = e , μ and τ is to be compared with the observation of 4 events by the L3 Collaboration with invariant masses, M γγ , of the two photons near 60 GeV. From a data sample approximately twice as large taken from 1990 to 1992, 6 events are found with M γγ distributed between 50 GeV and 72 GeV, while 4.9 events are expected from a QED calculation. There is no evidence for a mass peak; only one event ( μ + μ − γγ ) at M γγ = 59.4 ± 0.2 GeV is compatible with the L3 observation. In addition, for M γγ > 50 GeV, no event is found for e + e − → q q γγ and only one event is found consistent with e + e − → v v γγ ; this event has M γγ = 58.5 ± 1.9 GeV. High mass photon pair events have also been searched for in γγ collisions. This allows one to set an upper limit of 50 MeV for the width of an assumed resonance decaying to photon pairs.

Abstract

From more than 175 000 hadronic Z decays observed with the ALEPH detector at LEP, we select 823 events with pairs of leptons in the final state. From these we measure χ , the probability thata b hadron which is observed to decay originated as a b hadron. We find χ =0.132 −0.026 +0.027 .

Abstract

The average lifetime of B hadrons has been measured by the ALEPH experiment at LEP. Events containing B hadrons are selected by the identification of leptons with high transverse momentum in hadronic Z decays, and the lifetime is extracted from a fit to the impact parameter distribution of the lepton tracks. From a sample of 1.7×105 hadronic Z decays a lifetime of 1.29±0.06±0.10 ps is measured.

Abstract

Moderate to strong immunohistochemical metallothionein (MT) positivity (MT expression) is associated with a poor prognosis in some human tumours. The aim of this study was to determine MT expression in mammary tumours and cutaneous melanomas in dogs and cats. Canine (67) and feline (47) mammary tumours, and cutaneous melanomas (canine 40, feline 26) were immunolabelled with MT monoclonal antibody E9. The overall incidence of MT expression of these tumours was similar to that observed in various human neoplasms. However, a striking interspecies difference was detected. In dogs, MT expression occurred in 100% of benign and 57% of malignant mammary tumours. In cats, however, 30% of malignant mammary tumours expressed MT but benign mammary tumours and cases of fibroadenomatous hyperplasia did not. Moderate to strong MT immunoreactivity was detected in 30% of benign and 25% of malignant cutaneous melanomas in dogs, and in 6% of malignant melanomas in cats. The findings in feline mammary tumours resembled findings reported in human breast cancer, but the cause of tumour-associated MT expression is unknown. Studies are in progress to determine whether the MT state (apo [metal-free] or holo [metal-bound]) accounts for the paradoxical association of MT expression with individual types of tumours and the animal species in which they arise.

Abstract

The reaction e(+)e(-) --> HZ is used to search for the Standard Model Higgs boson, The data sample consists of integrated luminosities of 10.9 pb(-1), 1.1 pb(-1), and 9.5 pb(-1) collected by the ALEPH experiment at LEP during 1996, at centre-of-mass energies of 161, 170 and 172 GeV, respectively. No candidate events were found, in agreement with the expected background of 0.84 events from all Standard Model processes. This search results in a 95% C.L. lower limit on the Higgs boson mass of 69.4 GeV/c(2). When combined with earlier ALEPH searches performed at energies at and around the Z peak, this limit increases to 70.7 GeV/c(2). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

Searches for charginos and neutralinos produced in e+e− collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 130 and 136 GeV have been performed under the assumptions that R-parity is not conserved, that the dominant R-parity violating coupling involves only leptonic fields, and that the lifetime of the lightest supersymmetric particle can be neglected. In the 5.7 pb−1 data sample collected by ALEPH, no candidate events were found. As a result, chargino and neutralino masses and couplings are constrained and the domains previously excluded at LEP1 are extended.

Approaches to preserve renal function after liver transplantation (OLT), such as the delayed use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), may reduce the need for postoperative renal replacement therapy (RRT) or simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLK).An 1:1 analysis was performed comparing 1-year outcomes of patients with pre-OLT renal dysfunction receiving a renal-sparing approach (RS): MMF (3 g/d), steroids, and delayed tacrolimus (TAC) (day 3 post-OLT; trough, 5-8 ng/mL) versus SLK: MMF (2 g/d), steroids, and immediate TAC (trough 10-12 ng/mL).In 84 OLT recipients (42 RS, 42 SLK) Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and creatinine were similar at OLT, with improved creatinine at 1 year (all P.01 from OLT). Patient survival, graft function, infection, and rejection were similar at 1 year (P.05). However, the RS patients had a higher rate of death in those requiring preoperative RRT (7/10 RRT vs 5/32 no RRT; P.001). Of the patients on preoperative RRT, more RS patients continued to require postoperative RRT than SLK (7/10 vs 5/17; P = .04), of which there was a comparably higher death rate than those not needing postoperative RRT.This noninduction, RS protocol is effective in patients not on pre-OLT RRT. Patients on RRT pre-OLT should be considered for more aggressive renal sparing approaches (induction therapy with more delayed CNI initiation or SLK).

Abstract

Searches for supersymmetric particles in channels with one or more photons and missing energy have been performed with data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The data consist of 11.1 pb-1 at sqrt(s)=161 GeV, 1.1 pb-1 at 170 GeV and 9.5 pb-1 at 172 GeV. The e+e--->νν¯γ(γ) cross section is measured. The data are in good agreement with predictions based on the Standard Model, and are used to set upper limits on the cross sections for anomalous photon production. These limits are compared to two different SUSY models and used to set limits on the neutralino mass. A limit of 71 GeV/c2 at 95% C.L. is set on the mass of the lightest neutralino (τχ10

Abstract

Previously published and as vet unpublished QCD results obtained with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 are presented. The unprecedented statistics allows detailed studies of both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of strong interactions to be carried out using hadronic Z and tau decays. The studies presented include precise determinations of the strong coupling constant. tests of its flavour independence, tests of the SU(3) gauge structure of QCD, study of coherence effects, and measurements of single-particle inclusive distributions and two-particle correlations for many identified baryons and mesons.

Abstract

The data collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 172 GeV by ALEPH at LEP, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 27.5 pb−1, are analysed in a search for pair-produced charged Higgs bosons H±. Three analyses are employed to select the τ + ν τ τ − ν τ , c s τ − ν τ and c s s c final states. No evidence for a signal is found. Mass limits are set as a function of the branching fraction B (τν) for H±→τν. Charged Higgs bosons with masses below 52 GeV/c2 are excluded at 95% C.L. independently of B (τν) , thus significantly improving on existing limits.

Abstract

An improved measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in Z --> b (b) over bar decays is presented, based on a sample of 4.1 million hadronic Z decays collected by ALEPH between 1991 and 1995. Data are analysed as a function of polar angle of the event axis and b purity. The event tagging efficiency and mean b-jet hemisphere charge are measured directly from data. From the measured forward-backward jet charge asymmetry, the b quark asymmetry at root s= m(Z) is determined to be: A(FB)(b) = 0.1017 +/- 0.0032(syst.) +/- 0.0032(syst.). In the context of the Standard Model this corresponds to a value of the effective weak mixing angle of sin(2) theta(W)(eff)= 0.23109 +/- 0.00096.

Abstract

The production of final states involving one or more energetic photons from e(+)e(-) collisions is studied in a sample of 58.5 pb(-1) of data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The e(+)e(-) --> v (v) over bar gamma(gamma) and e(+)e(-) --> gamma gamma(gamma) cross sections are measured. The data are in good agreement with predictions based on the Standard Model and are used to set upper limits on the cross sections for anomalous photon production in the context of two supersymmetric models and for various extensions to QED. In particular, in the context of a super-light gravitino model a cross section upper limit of 0.38 pb is placed on the process e(+)e(-) --> (G) over tilde (G) over tilde gamma, allowing a lower limit to be set on the mass of the gravitino. Limits are also set on the mass of the lightest neutralino in Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking models. In the case of equal ee *gamma and ee gamma couplings a 95% C.L. lower limit on M-e* of 250 GeV/c(2) is obtained. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

The four jet topology is analysed in the ALEPH data taken between November 1995 and November 1997, at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 130 to 184 GeV. While an unexpected accumulation of events with a dijet mas sum around 105 GeV/c**2 had been observed during the first run in 1995 at 130/136 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 pb-1, no significant differences between data and standard model prediction is noticed, either in the high energy runs (81.1 pb-1 taken at centre-of-mass energies from 161 to 184 GeV) or in the 7.1 pb-1 recorded during a new short run at 130/136 GeV in 1997. We have found no other explanation for the earlier reported ``four jet anomaly'' than a statistical fluctuation.

Abstract

The light scalar Higgs boson h and the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A of the minimal supersymmetric standard model have been searched for in the processes e+e−→hff and e+e−→hA using data collected by ALEPH at the LEP e+e− collider, with center of mass energies at and near the Z peak. Using a variety of signatures adapted to various mass ranges for h and A, we have excluded a large domain in the parameter space. For large values of ν2ν1, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs fields, the whole range from 0 to 38.8 GeV is excluded for Mh and MA at 95% CL.

Abstract

We have performed a search for supersymmetric particles using acoplanar pairs of oppositely-charged particles in decays of the Z0. In 0.53 pb−1 of integrated luminosity near the Z0 peak, we observe two events where approximately four are expected from background, allowing limits to be extended on combined photino and slepton masses, and also on combined photino and chargino masses.

Abstract

We report on properties of hadronic events from e+e− annihilation observed by the ALEPH detector at the large Electron Positron Collider at CERN. The center-of-mass energy was . Measured distributions of the global event-shape variables sphericity, aplanarity, thrust and minor value, and of the inclusive variables xp, p⊥in, p⊥out and y are presented. We measure a mean charged multiplicity in hadronic events of 〈Nch〉=21.3±0.1 (statistical)±0.6 (systematic). The data are in good agreement with QCD-based models which use the leading-logarithm approximation, and are less well described by a model using O(αs2) QCD.

Abstract

Searches for scalar top and bottom quarks have been performed with data collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP. The data sample consists of 21.7 pb^-1 taken at sqrt{s} = 161, 170, and 172~GeV and 5.7 pb^-1 taken at sqrt{s} = 130 and 136~GeV. No evidence for scalar top quarks or scalar bottom quarks was found in the channels stop --> c chi, stop --> b l snu, and sbottom --> b chi. For the channel stop --> c chi a limit of 67 GeV/c^2 has been set on the scalar top quark mass, independent of the mixing angle between the supersymmetric partners of the left and right-handed states of the top quark. This limit assumes a mass difference between the stop and the chi of at least 10 GeV/c^2. For the channel stop --> b l snu the mixing-angle independent scalar top limit is 70 GeV/c^2, assuming a mass difference between the stop and the snu of at least 10 GeV/c^2. For the channel sbottom --> b chi, a limit of 73 GeV/c^2 has been set on the mass of the supersymmetric partner of the left-handed state of the bottom quark. This limit is valid if the mass difference between the sbottom and the chi is at least 10 GeV/c^2., Latex (epsfig): 16 pages including 6 figures

Abstract

In June 1996, the LEP centre-of-mass energy was raised to 161 GeV. Pair production of W bosons in e(+)e(-) collisions was observed for the first time by the LEP experiments. An integrated luminosity of 11 pb(-1) was recorded in the ALEPH detector, in which WW candidate events were observed. In 6 events both Ws decay leptonically. In 16 events, one W decays leptonically, the other into hadrons. In the channel where both Ws decay into hadrons, a signal was separated from the large background by means of several multi-variate analyses. The W pair cross-section is measured to be sigma(ww) = 4.23 +/- 0.73(stat.) +/- 0.19(syst.) pb. From this cross-section, the W mass is derived within the framework of the Standard Model: m(w) = 80.14 +/- 0.34(stat.) +/- 0.09(syst.) +/- 0.03(LEP energy) GeV/c(2) (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract

A search for the B-c meson decaying into the channels J/psi pi(+) and J/psi l(+)nu(l) (l = e or mu) is performed in a sample of 3.9 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector. This search results in the observation of 0 and 2 candidates in each of these channels, respectively, while 0.44 and 0.81 background events are expected. The following 90% confidence level upper limits are derived: Br(Z --> BcX)/Br(Z --> q (q) over bar BR(B-c(+) --> J/psi pi(+)) < 3.6 x 10(-5), Br(Z --> BcX)/Br(Z-->q (q) over bar)Br(B-c(+) --> J/psi l(+)nu) < 5.2 x 10(-5). Another B-c(+) --> J/psi(e(+)e(-))mu(+)nu(mu) candidate with very low background probability, found in an independent analysis, is also described in detail.
