The COVID-19 pandemic forced the University of Minnesota's extensive global health education programs, which includes a decade of hybrid online and in-person programing, to move completely online. We share our experience, a working framework for evaluating global health educational programming, and lessons learned. Over the decades we have moved from a predominantly passive, lecture-based, in-person course to a hybrid online (passive) course with an intensive hands-on 2-week requirement. The pandemic forced us to explore new active online learning models. We retained our on-demand, online passive didactics, which used experts' time efficiently and was widely accessible and well received. In addition, we developed a highly effective synchronous online component that we felt replaced some of the hands-on activities effectively and led us to develop new and innovative “hands-on” experiences. This new, fully online model combining quality asynchronous and synchronous learning provided many unanticipated advantages, such as increasing access while decreasing our carbon footprint dramatically. By sharing our experience, lessons learned, and resources, we hope to inspire other programs likewise to innovate to improve quality, access, community, and sustainability in global health, especially if these innovations can help decrease negative aspects of global health education such as its environmental impact.

Although the overall carbon footprint of the University decreased by almost 30\% during the lockdown, the carbon intensity of online teaching and learning was found to be substantial and almost equal to that of staff and student commute in the pre-lockdown period. The study contributed to an emerging academic discourse on the carbon (dis)benefits of different models of higher education provision in the UK and beyond.

The Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) created a Working group dedicated to geriatric oncology in February 2016. OBJECTIVES: The main goal of this study was to describe the current situation in Spain regarding the management of elderly cancer patients through an online survey of medical oncologists. METHODS: A descriptive survey was sent to several hospitals by means of the SEOM website. A personal e-mail was also sent to SEOM members. RESULTS: Between March 2016 and April 2017, 154 answers were collected. Only 74 centers (48\%) had a geriatrics department and a mere 21 (14\%) medical oncology departments had a person dedicated to GO. The vast majority (n = 135; 88\%) had the perception that the number of elderly patients with cancer seen in clinical practice had increased. Eighteen (12\%) oncologists had specific protocols and geriatric scales were used at 55 (31\%) centers. Almost all (92\%) claimed to apply special management practices using specific tools. There was agreement that GO afforded certain potential advantages. Finally, 99\% of the oncologists surveyed believed it and that training in GO had to be improved. CONCLUSIONS: From the nationwide survey promoted by the Spanish Geriatric Oncology Working Group on behalf of SEOM, we conclude that there is currently no defined care structure for elderly cancer patients. There is an increasing perception of the need for training in GO.

However, its use in clinical practice is constrained by the need for the patient to deliver stool samples, and for their handling and processing in the laboratory. The availability of hand held devices might spread the use of FC in clinical practice. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the usefulness of a rapid semi-quantitative test of FC in predicting relapse in patients with UC in remission. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective, multicenter study that included UC patients in clinical remission for ≥6 months on maintenance treatment with mesalamine. Patients were evaluated clinically and semi-quantitative FC was measured using a monoclonal immunochromatography rapid test at baseline and every three months until relapse or 12 months of follow-up. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-one patients had at least one determination of FC. At the end of follow-up, 33 patients (17\%) experienced clinical relapse. Endoscopic activity at baseline (p = .043) and having had at least one FC {\textgreater} 60 μg/g during the study period (p = .03) were associated with a higher risk of relapse during follow-up. We obtained a total of 636 semi-quantitative FC determinations matched with a three-month follow-up clinical assessment. Having undetectable FC was inversely associated with early relapse (within three months), with a negative predictive value of 98.6\% and a sensitivity of 93.9\%.

However, in the present paper we move beyond such traditional analyses by simultaneously considering multiple demographic and socioeconomic dimensions. Using the Spanish National Health Survey 2011–2012, we apply intersectionality theory and multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA) to analyze 14,190 adults nested within 108 intersectional strata defined by combining categories of gender, age, income, educational achievement and living situation. We develop two multilevel models to obtain information on stratum-specific BMI averages and the degree of clustering of BMI within strata expressed by the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). The first model is a simple variance components analysis that provides a detailed mapping of the BMI disparities in the population and measures the accuracy of stratum membership to predict individual BMI. The second model includes the variables used to define the intersectional strata as a way to identify stratum-specific interactions. The first model suggests moderate but meaningful clustering of individual BMI within the intersectional strata (ICC = 12.4\%). Compared with the population average (BMI = 26.07 Kg/m2), the stratum of cohabiting 18-35-year-old females with medium income and high education presents the lowest BMI (-3.7 Kg/m2), while cohabiting 36-64-year-old females with low income and low education show the highest BMI (+2.6 Kg/m2). In the second model, the ICC falls to 1.9\%, suggesting the existence of only very small stratum specific interaction effects. We confirm the existence of a socioeconomic gradient in BMI. Compared with traditional analyses, the intersectional MAIHDA approach provides a better mapping of socioeconomic and demographic inequalities in BMI. Because of the moderate clustering, public health policies aiming to reduce BMI in Spain should not solely focus on the intersectional strata with the highest BMI, but should also consider whole population polices. © 2018 Hernández-Yumar et al.

The current study aimed to assess the relationship between the allostatic load and the composition of whole-brain white matter tracts in overweight subjects. Additionally, we have also tested for grey matter changes regarding allostatic load increase. Thirty-one overweight-to-obese adults and 21 lean controls participated in the study. Our results showed that overweight participants presented higher allostatic load indexes. Such increases correlated with lower fractional anisotropy in the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculi and the right anterior corona radiata, as well as with grey matter reductions in the left precentral gyrus, the left lateral occipital gyrus, and the right pars opercularis.

VARIABLES: Patient characteristics, hospital characteristics, characteristics of limitations on life support. Time-to-first-limitation was classified as early ({\textless}48h of admission) or late (≥48h). We performed univariate, multivariate analyses and CHAID (chi-square automatic interaction detection) analysis of variables associated with limitation of life support within 48h of ICU admission.

Consecutive patients with AHF presenting to 34 Spanish EDs from 2011 to 2014 were eligible for inclusion. The subjects were divided into those with (M) or without IV morphine treatment (WOM) groups during ED stay. The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality, and secondary outcomes were mortality at different intermediate time points, in-hospital mortality, and length of hospital stay. We generated a propensity score to match the M and WOM groups that were 1:1 according to 46 different epidemiological, baseline, clinical, and therapeutic factors. We investigated independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in patients receiving morphine. We included 6,516 patients (mean age, 81 [SD, 10] years; 56\% women): 416 (6.4\%) in the M and 6,100 (93.6\%) in the WOM group. Overall, 635 (9.7\%; M, 26.7\%; WOM, 8.6\%) died by day 30. After propensity score matching, 275 paired patients constituted each group.

In patients receiving morphine, death was directly related to glycemia (P = .013) and inversely related to the baseline Barthel index and systolic BP (P = .021) at ED arrival (P = .021). Mortality was increased at every intermediate time point, although the greatest risk was at the shortest time (at 3 days: 22 [8.0\%] vs 7 [2.5\%] deaths; OR, 3.33; 95\% CI, 1.40-7.93; P = .014).

Stress control reduces the incidence of complications and improves recovery. In clinical and experimental studies, dexmedetomidine reduces the inflammatory and neuroendocrine responses. Objectives: This prospective randomized double-blinded clinical trial was conducted to assess the role of dexmedetomidine in reducing stress responses. Materials and Methods: According to convenient sampling method, 40 patients in two groups (case under treatment with dexmedetomidine and control, each including 20 patients) were selected from whom admitted for open heart surgery. Anesthesia was induced and maintained by fentanyl and midazolam. After central venous and arterial catheter insertion, patients were randomly allocated into one of two equal groups (n = 20 each). In the dexmedetomidine group, patients received an initial loading dose (0.5 micro g/kg) during 10 minutes immediately followed by a continuous infusion of 0.5 micro g/kg. In the control group, normal saline solution with similar volume was infused. Results: Changes in heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures and central venous pressure before administration of dexmedetomidine, in 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the operation, after skin incision, after sternotomy, after separation from the pump and at the end of procedure showed no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.860, 0.067, 0.888 and 0.482, respectively). Changes in lactate, interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor, C-reactive protein concentrations before administration of dexmedetomidine, after separation of pump and 24 hours after intensive care unit entrance showed no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.525, 0.767, 0.868 and 0.840, respectively). Conclusions: According to our findings, using dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant anesthetic medication with initial loading dose of 0.5 micro g/kg and maintenance dose of 0.5 micro g/kg in pediatric heart surgeries is a safe choice. However, further studies are needed to clarify the role of dexmedetomidine to reduce stress responses.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to determine the neonatal mortality and morbidity of VLBW multiples compared to singletons. METHODS: This is a retrospective study including all infants registered in the Spanish network for infants under 1500 g (SEN1500), over a 12-year period (from 2002 to 2013). Mortality and major morbidities were compared between singletons and multiples. RESULTS: About 32,770 infants were included: 21,123 singletons (64.5\%) and 11,647 multiples (35.5\%), with a mean gestational age of 29.5 weeks (22-38), and mean birth weight of 1115 g (340-1500). When adjusted by other perinatal factors, multiple pregnancy has a significantly higher risk of mortality than singleton pregnancy (odds ratio (OR) 1.15; IC 95\% 1.05-1.26, p = .002), but not a higher risk of major morbidity or composite adverse outcome. In the subgroup of infants born before 26 weeks, multiples showed a higher risk of mortality (63.9\% versus 51\%, OR 1.7; 95\% CI 1.47-1.96) and a higher risk of composite adverse outcome (88.9\% versus 81.5\%, OR 1.82, 95\% CI 1.28-2.24). CONCLUSIONS: In preterm infants born with less than 1500 g, multiple pregnancy is a prognostic factor that can slightly increase mortality.

The time required to reach this stable response may be shortened by applying a 5-s tetanic stimulus. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test whether tetanic stimulation interferes with onset and recovery times after a single dose of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg+/-1 followed by spontaneous recovery. DESIGN A randomised, open-label, controlled trial. SETTING A single-centre trial, study period from January 2014 to July 2015. PATIENTS Fifty children aged 2 to 11 years scheduled for elective paediatric surgery. INTERVENTION Patients were randomly allocated to receive either tetanic stimulation (group T) or not (group C) before calibration of the neuromuscular monitor. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Onset and recovery times. Initial and final T1 height, time to obtain initial T1 height stability and monitor settings were also analysed. RESULTS There was no significant difference in mean onset time [(C: 57.5 (+/- 16.9) vs. T: 58.3 (+/- 31.2) s; P = 0.917]. Mean times to normalised train-of-four (TOF) ratios of 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 were significantly shorter in the tetanic stimulation group [C: 40.1 (+/-7.9) vs. T: 34.8 (+/-10) min; P = 0.047, C: 43.8 (+/-9.4) vs. T: 37.4 (+/-11) min; P = 0.045 and C: 49.9 (+/-12.2) vs. T: 41.7 (+/-13.1) min; P = 0.026, respectively]. The mean time required for T1 height stabilisation was similar in the two groups [C: 195.0 (+/- 203.0) vs. T: 116.0 (+/- 81.6) s; P = 0.093], but the initial and final T1 height values were significantly lower in the tetanic stimulation group (C: 98.0 vs. T: 82.7\%; P {\textless} 0.001 and C: 95.3 vs. T: 69.3\%; P {\textless} 0.001, respectively).

Such fevers often resolve rapidly (usually within 48-96 h), and previous studies suggest that expectant home care for uncomplicated fever can be safely recommended. We aim to determine the non-inferiority of a conditional versus a universal follow-up visit for these children. Methods: We are conducting a cluster-randomized, community-based, non-inferiority trial enrolling {\textasciitilde}4300 children (ages 2-59 months) presenting to community health workers (CHWs) with uncomplicated fever in Tanganyika Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Clusters (n = 28) of CHWs are randomized to advise caretakers of such children to either 1) return for a follow-up visit on Day 3 following the initial consultation (Day 1), regardless of illness resolution (as per current guidelines) or 2) return for a follow-up visit on Day 3 only if the child's signs have not resolved. Enrolled children are followed up at Day 7 for a repeat assessment and recording of the primary outcome of the study, "failure", which is defined as having fever, diarrhea, pneumonia or decline of health status (e.g. hospitalization, presenting danger signs, or death). Discussion: The results of this trial will be interpreted in conjunction with a similarly designed trial currently ongoing in Ethiopia. If a follow-up visit conditional on continued illness is shown to be non-inferior to current guidelines stipulating universal follow-up, appropriate updating of such guidelines could reduce time and human resource pressures on both providers and caregivers throughout communities of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Methods: The study was a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study from January 2012 to June 2014, which included 2 groups of children with mild to moderate sepsis tolerating enteral feeding. Group A included 60 children supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids, whereas group B included 60 children who received enteral feeding without omega-3 supplementation. Both groups had complete blood pictures, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum albumin, and IL-6 before and after 7 days from supplementation. Results: There was a significant improvement in hemoglobin percentage (P {\textless}.0001), total white blood cell (WBC) count (P {\textless}.0001), and platelet count (P {\textless}.0001) and significant decrease in CRP (P {\textless}.0001), ESR (P {\textless}.0001), IL-6 (P {\textless}.0001), and albumin level (P {\textless}.001) in the supplemented group than the nonsupplemented group.

Immunization (RVI) has been available since 2006, and the Federation of International Societies of Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (FISPGHAN) identified RVI as a top priority for the control of diarrheal illness. A FISPGHAN working group on acute diarrhea aimed at estimating the current RVI coverage worldwide and identifying barriers to implementation at local level. Methods A survey was distributed to national experts in infectious diseases and health-care authorities (March 2015-April 2016), collecting information on local recommendations, costs and perception of barriers for implementation. Results Forty-nine of the 79 contacted countries (62\% response rate) provided a complete analyzable data. RVI was recommended in 27/49 countries (55\%). Although five countries have recommended RVI since 2006, a large number (16, 33\%) included RVI in a National Immunization Schedule between 2012 and 2014. The costs of vaccination are covered by the government (39\%), by the GAVI Alliance (10\%) or public and private insurance (8\%) in some countries. However, in most cases, immunization is paid by families (43\%). Elevated cost of vaccine (49\%) is the main barrier for implementation of RVI. High costs of vaccination (rs = -0.39, p = 0.02) and coverage of expenses by families (rs = 0.5, p = 0.002) significantly correlate with a lower immunization rate. Limited perception of RV illness severity by the families (47\%), public-health authorities (37\%) or physicians (24\%) and the timing of administration (16\%) are further major barriers to large- scale RVI programs. Conclusions After 10 years since its introduction, the implementation of RVI is still unacceptably low and should remain a major target for global public health. Barriers to implementation vary according to setting. Nevertheless, public health authorities should promote education for caregivers and health-care providers and interact with local health authorities in order to implement RVI.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd}, language = {English}, number = {12}, journal = {Vaccine}, author = {Lo Vecchio, A. and Liguoro, I. and Dias, J.

Empirical antifungal agents are therefore important. Despite the availability of antifungal agents for such situations, the optimal agents and administration methods remain unclear. We conducted a prospective phase 2 study of empirical 1 mg/kg/day liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) in 80 patients receiving intensive chemotherapy for hematological malignancies. All enrolled patients were high-risk and had recurrent prolonged febrile neutropenia despite having received broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy for at least 72 hours. Fifty-three patients (66.3 \%) achieved the primary endpoint of successful treatment, thus exceeding the predefined threshold success rate. No patients developed IFI. The treatment completion rate was 73.8 \%, and only two cases ceased treatment because of adverse events. The most frequent events were reversible electrolyte abnormalities. We consider low-dose L-AMB to provide comparable efficacy and improved safety and cost-effectiveness when compared with other empirical antifungal therapies. Additional large-scale randomized studies are needed to determine the clinical usefulness of L-AMB relative to other empirical antifungal therapies.

Study design We searched Medline, PsycINFO, and PubMed databases (2000-2015) in peer-reviewed journals for studies that examined the treatment of children with chronic food refusal receiving intervention at day treatment or inpatient hospital programs. Inclusion criteria required the presentation of quantitative data on food consumption, feeding behavior, and/or growth status before and after intervention. Effect size estimates were calculated based on a meta-analysis of proportions. Results The systematic search yielded 11 studies involving 593 patients. Nine articles presented outcomes based on retrospective (nonrandomized) chart reviews; 2 studies involved randomized controlled trials. All samples involved children with complex medical and/or developmental histories who displayed persistent feeding concerns requiring formula supplementation. Behavioral intervention and tube weaning represented the most common treatment approaches. Core disciplines overseeing care included psychology, nutrition, medicine, and speech-language pathology/occupational therapy. The overall effect size for percentage of patients successfully weaned from tube feeding was 71\% (95\% CI 54\%-83\%). Treatment gains endured following discharge, with 80\% of patients (95\% CI 66\%-89\%) weaned from tube feeding at last follow-up. Treatment also was associated with increased oral intake, improved mealtime behaviors, and reduced parenting stress. Conclusions Results indicate intensive, multidisciplinary treatment holds benefits for children with severe feeding difficulties. Future research must address key methodological limitations to the extant literature, including improved measurement, more comprehensive case definitions, and standardization/examination of treatment approach.

Methods: This was a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Participants were recruited from a population-based cohort with MRI-classified unilateral perinatal stroke, age of 6 to 18 years, and disabling hemiparesis. All completed a goal-directed, peer-supported, 2-week after-school motor learning camp (32 hours of therapy). Participants were randomized 1:1 to 1 mA cathodal tDCS over the contralesional primary motor cortex (M1) for the initial 20 minutes of daily therapy or sham. Primary subjective (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure [COPM]), objective (Assisting Hand Assessment [AHA]), safety, and secondary outcomes were measured at 1 week and 2 months after intervention. Analysis was by intention to treat. Results: Twenty-four participants were randomized (median age 11.8 +/- 2.7 years, range 6.7-17.8). COPM performance and satisfaction scores doubled at 1 week with sustained gains at 2 months (p {\textless} 0.001). COPM scores increased more with tDCS compared to sham control (p = 0.004). AHA scores demonstrated only mild increases at both time points with no tDCS effects. Procedures were safe and well tolerated with no decrease in either arm function or serious adverse events. Conclusion: TDCS trials appear feasible and safe in hemiparetic children. Lack of change in objective motor function may reflect underdosing of therapy. Marked gains in subjective function with tDCS warrant further study. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02170285. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that for children with perinatal stroke and hemiparetic cerebral palsy, the addition of tDCS to moderate-dose motor learning therapy does not significantly improve motor function as measured by the AHA.

Our randomized controlled trial enrolled patients aged 21 years and above presenting at general practitioner (GP) clinics with URTI symptoms for 7 days or less. Intervention arm patients were verbally educated via pamphlets about the etiology of URTIs, the role of antibiotics in treating URTIs, and the consequences of inappropriate antibiotic use. Control arm patients were educated on influenza vaccinations. Both arms were compared regarding the proportions prescribed antibiotics and the patients' postconsultation views. A total of 914 patients consulting 35 doctors from 24 clinics completed the study (457 in each arm). The demographics of patients in both arms were similar, and 19.1\% were prescribed an antibiotic, but this varied from 0\% to 70\% for individual GPs. The intervention did not significantly reduce antibiotic prescriptions (odds ratio [OR], 1.20; 95\% confidence interval [CI], 0.83-1.73) except in patients of Indian ethnicity (OR, 0.28; 95\% CI, 0.09-0.93). Positive associations between the intervention and the view that antibiotics were not needed most of the time for URTIs (P = 0.047) and on being worried about the side effects of antibiotics (P = 0.018) were restricted to the Indian subgroup. GPs in limited liability partnerships or clinic chains prescribed less (OR, 0.36; 95\% CI, 0.14 to 0.92), while certain inappropriate patient responses were associated with the receipt of antibiotics.

However, preparing soil microcosm treatments without soil fauna for ecological experiments can be problematic. Methods to exclude nematodes, a ubiquitous and functionally important component of terrestrial ecosystems, have been developed for a few specific ecosystems, some of them involving the application of nematicides that may have interactive effects throughout the soil food web. Our goal was to develop a method to remove nematodes from soils of three Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) grassland sites, ranging from desert to moist, without use of chemicals and with moderate disturbance. Moreover, we aimed at testing whether the nematode removal would remain effective up to several weeks later. The following treatments were applied to {\textasciitilde}3- kg soil microcosms in the laboratory: (1) a 72 h heating (65 C) - freezing (-20 C) - heating (65 C) cycle using soil maintained at its original water content, and pre-wetting soil 24 h before heating (65 C) for either (2A) 48 h or (2B) 24 h.We measured treatment effects on total abundance and trophic structure of the nematode community. To investigate whether nematodes would recolonize eight weeks after treatments, we conducted a greenhouse experiment where individual seedlings of the dominant grass species for each ecosystem were transplanted to treated and non-treated (control) soils. A heat-freezeheat cycle of 72 h using soil in its original field water content killed 60, 95, and 99\% of the nematodes for the desert, semi-arid, and moist tallgrass prairie soils, respectively. Pre-wetting soil before heating increased mortality to 99\% for all ecosystems after only 24 h at 65 C. Root-feeders were the most resistant nematode trophic group. Eight weeks after treatments, there was no significant nematode recolonization for the pre-wetted 48 h heated soils from the three sites, while for the semi-arid and moist sites there was a slight recovery in abundance in soil from the 24 h heating treatment. Therefore, a treatment at 65 C for 48 h using pre-wetted soil is recommended for eight-week long manipulative experiments in order to assure the effectiveness of the nematode removal throughout the experiment. � 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the effect of analgesia can reduce the incidence of these problems. We compared the effects of sub-Tenon's injection versus intravenous (IV) and rectal paracetamol in this surgery. Methods: In a prospective, randomized, double-blind study, ninety patients ranging in age from 4 to 8 years scheduled for extraocular muscle surgery for strabismus were included in this study. After induction of anesthesia, just before the surgery, children were divided into three groups (n = 30 for each group) Group A received sub-Tenon's anesthesia with 2.5\% bupivacaine (0.08 ml/kg). Group B received IV paracetamol (20 mg/kg). Group C received paracetamol rectal suppository (40 mg/kg). The occurrence of oculocardiac reflex (OCR) intraoperatively was recorded. Then, in the Postanesthesia Care Unit, patients were assessed for their emergence behaviors. Vomiting was also noticed. Results: The OCR developed in few patients, and there was no significant difference between the groups. The highest number of patients with agitation was in Group C followed by Group B then Group A. Vomiting was significantly low in Group A followed by Group B then Group C. Conclusion: Sub-Tenon block in strabismus surgery in children decreased the incidence of postoperative agitation and vomiting compared with IV paracetamol then rectal paracetamol. There was no difference between sub-Tenon block and paracetamol in the incidence of oculocardiac reflex.

It is expected that this regulatory policy should benefit relatively more to lower socioeconomic groups, thus contributing to a reduction in socioeconomic health inequalities. This research analyzes the effect of tobacco regulation in Spain, under Law 28/2005, on the initiation and cessation of tobacco consumption, and whether this effect has been unequal across distinct socioeconomic levels. Methods: Micro-data from the National Health Survey in its 2006 and 2011 editions are used (study numbers: 4382 and 5389 respectively; inventory of statistical operations (ISO) code: 54009), with a sample size of approximately 24,000 households divided into 2,000 census areas. This allows individuals' tobacco consumption records to be reconstructed over five years before the initiation of each survey, as well as identifying those individuals that started or stopped smoking. The methodology is based on "time to event analysis". Cox's proportional hazard models are adapted to show the effects of a set of explanatory variables on the conditional probability of change in tobacco consumption: initiation as a daily smoker by young people or the cessation of daily smoking by adults. Results: Initiation rates among young people went from 25\% (95\% confidence interval (CI), 23-27) to 19\% (95\% CI, 17-21) following the implementation of the Law, and the change in cessation rates among smokers was even greater, with rates increasing from 12\% (95\% CI, 11-13) to 20\% (95\% CI, 19-21). However, this effect has not been equal by socioeconomic groups as shown by relative risks. Before the regulation policy, social class was not a statistically significant factor in the initiation of daily smoking (p {\textgreater} 0.05); however, following the implementation of the Law, young people belonging to social classes IV-V and VI had a relative risk of starting smoking 63\% (p = 0.03) and 82\% (p = 0.02) higher than young people of higher social classes I-II. On the other hand, lower social class also means a lower probability of smoking cessation; however, the relative risk of cessation for a smoker belonging to a household of social class VI (compared to classes I-II) went from 24\% (p {\textless} 0.001) lower before the Law to 33\% (p {\textless} 0.001) lower following the law's implementation. Conclusion: Law 28/2005 has been effective, as after its promulgation there has been a decrease in the rate of smoking initiation among young people and an increase in the rate of cessation among adult smokers. However, this effect has not been equal by socioeconomic groups, favoring relatively more to those individuals belonging to higher social classes. © 2017 The Author(s).}, language = {English}, number = {1}, journal = {Tobacco Induced Diseases}, author = {Pinilla, J. and Abásolo, I.}, year = {2017}, keywords = {Article, Spain, adult, explanatory variable, female, health survey, human, law enforcement, male, methodology, normal human, population research, probability, proportional hazards model, risk assessment, sample size, smoking ban, smoking cessation, smoking cessation program, smoking habit, social class, social status} }

The biology associated with treatment response was used to derive a PAM50-based chemoendocrine score (CES). CES's predictive ability was evaluated in 4 independent neoadjuvant data sets (n = 675) and 4 adjuvant data sets (n = 1,505). The association of CES, intrinsic biology, and PAM50 risk of relapse (ROR) was explored across 6,007 tumors.Results: Most genes associated with endocrine sensitivity were also found associated with chemotherapy resistance. In the chemotherapy test/validation data sets, CES was independently associated with pathologic complete response (pCR), even after adjusting for intrinsic subtype. pCR rates of the CES endocrine-sensitive (CES-E), uncertain (CES-U), and chemotherapy-sensitive (CES-C) groups in both data sets combined were 25\%, 11\%, and 2\%, respectively. In the endocrine test/validation data sets, CES was independently associated with response. Compared with ROR, {\textgreater}90\% of ROR-low and ROR-high tumors were identified as CES-E and CES-C, respectively; however, each CES group represented {\textgreater}25\% of ROR-intermediate disease. In terms of survival outcome, CES-C was associated with poor relapse-free survival in patients with ROR-intermediate disease treated with either adjuvant endocrine therapy only or no adjuvant systemic therapy, but not in patients treated with (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy.Conclusions: CES is a genomic signature capable of estimating chemoendocrine sensitivity in HR(+) breast cancer beyond intrinsic subtype and risk of relapse.

However, data regarding efficacy are limited. We aimed to evaluate whether antimicrobial PICCs are associated with CLABSI reduction. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINHAL, and Web of Science were searched from inception to July 2016; conference proceedings were searched to identify additional studies. Study selection and data extraction were performed independently by 2 authors. Results Of 597 citations identified, 8 studies involving 12,879 patients met eligibility criteria. Studies included adult and pediatric patients from intensive care, long-term care, and general ward settings. The incidence of CLABSI in patients with antimicrobial PICCs was 0.2\% (95\% confidence interval [CI], 0.0\%-0.5\%), and the incidence among nonantimicrobial catheters was 5.3\% (95\% CI, 2.6\%-8.8\%). Compared with noncoated PICCs, antimicrobial PICCs were associated with a significant reduction in CLABSI (relative risk [RR],0.29; 95\% CI, 0.10-0.78). Statistical heterogeneity (I2,71.6\%; T2=1.07) was resolved by publication type, with peer-reviewed articles showing greater reduction in CLABSI (RR,0.21; 95\% CI, 0.06-0.74). Twenty-six patients (95\% CI, 21-75) need to be treated with antimicrobial PICCs to prevent 1 CLABSI. Studies of adults at greater baseline risk of CLABSI experienced greater reduction in CLABSI (RR, 0.20; P=.003). Conclusions Available evidence suggests that antimicrobial PICCs may reduce CLABSI, especially in high-risk subgroups. Randomized trials are needed to assess efficacy across patient populations.

To date, pharmacological interventions have not been shown to be effective for delirium management but non-pharmacological interventions have shown some promise. The aim of this systematic review is to identify effective non-pharmacological interventions for reducing the incidence or the duration of delirium in critically ill patients. Methods: We will search MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, AMED, psycINFO and the Cochrane Library. We will include studies of critically ill adults and children. We will include randomised trials and controlled trials which measure the effectiveness of one or more non-pharmacological interventions in reducing incidence or duration of delirium in critically ill patients. We will also include qualitative studies that provide an insight into patients and their families' experiences of delirium and non-pharmacological interventions. Two independent reviewers will assess studies for eligibility, extract data and appraise quality. We will conduct meta-analyses if possible or present results narratively. Qualitative studies will also be reviewed by two independent reviewers, and a specially designed quality assessment tool incorporating the CASP framework and the POPAY framework will be used to assess quality. Discussion: Although non-pharmacological interventions have been studied in populations outside of intensive care units and multicomponent interventions have successfully reduced incidence and duration of delirium, no systematic review of non-pharmacological interventions specifically targeting delirium in critically ill patients have been undertaken to date. This systematic review will provide evidence for the development of a multicomponent intervention for delirium management of critically ill patients that can be tested in a subsequent multicentre randomised trial.

Early-morning insulinopenia contributes to lower insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) levels and to GH hypersecretion. Objective: To evaluate differences in GH/IGF-I axis of pre-pubertal children with type 1 diabetes treated with glargine or detemir as long-acting insulin analogues, which was the main outcome measure, and to compare insulin effects in obtaining good metabolic control. Subjects: Children with type 1 diabetes. Methods: This was a 32-week, randomized, open-label, two-period, cross-over comparison between bedtime glargine and twice-daily detemir insulin, involving pre-pubertal children in care at a diabetes pediatric centre. After a 8-week-run-in period subjects were randomized to bedtime glargine or twice-daily detemir insulin administration. After a 12-week period treatments were inverted and continued for additional 12 weeks. Results: Overall, 15 pre-pubertal children (53.3\% males, mean age 8.6+/-1.5 years, duration of diabetes 4.2+/-1.5 years) completed the study. Groups did not differ for GH/IGF axis and HbA1c levels. Treatment with glargine was associated with lower fasting glucose values than treatment with detemir (8.1+/-1.5 vs. 8.2+/-1.7 mmol/L, p=0.01). Incidence rate of hypoglycemia was not different between insulin treatments (IRR=1.18, 95\%CI 1.00-1.38; p=0.07). Detemir treatment was associated with a higher increase in body weight (p=0.008) and height (p=0.02) when compared with glargine. Conclusion: Detemir and glargine not show significant differential effects on the GH/IGFI axis. The greater weight gain and height associated with detemir treatment, apparently not related to the level of pubertal growth, deserve further investigation. Copyright © J. A.

Constricted, centered, and symmetrical pupils (CCSP) are classically the endpoint to be achieved before laryngoscopy is performed. Objectives: We investigated whether two different inhalation induction techniques with the same clinical end-point provided similar intubating conditions and comparable depth of anesthesia as assessed by the Bispectral Index (BIS). Methods: Following IRB approval, and informed parental consent, 20 children were recruited. They were scheduled for general anesthesia with tracheal intubation, and randomly assigned to Group 1, where the practitioner used 6\% inspired sevoflurane in 50\% O2/N2O, and no manually assisted ventilation, or Group 2, where inspired sevoflurane was 8\% in 50\% O2/N2O, and ventilation was manually supported upon loss of consciousness. BIS values were blinded. Laryngoscopy was performed after CCSP. Intubation conditions scoring was based on jaw relaxation (mobile = 1, partially mobile = 2, fixed = 3), position of vocal cords (open = 1, half-closed = 2, closed = 3), and cough (no cough = 1,1 or 2 coughing efforts = 2, persistent coughing = 3). A total score {\textgreater}3 corresponded to non-optimal conditions. Results: Upon CCSP, BIS values were significantly lower in Group 1 [mean (SD): 30 (8) - 48 (18), p {\textless} 0.001], despite significantly higher end-tidal sevoflurane concentration in Group 2 [mean (SD): 5.0 (0.7) - 6.2 (0.5); p {\textless} 0.001]. Time to CCSP was slightly shorter in Group 2. Intubation conditions were always optimal except for one patient of Group 1. Discussion: Both induction techniques achieve good intubating conditions. Possible explanations for the between-group BIS difference include variable appreciation of the CCSP endpoint, different induction lengths or sevoflurane equilibration times, or sevoflurane-induced increase in electroencephalogram power. A better indicator of the best time to intubate is needed to avoid too deep anesthesia in children.

The biology and environmental distribution of B. mandrillaris is still poorly understood and isolation of this pathogen from the environment is a rare event. Previous studies have reported that the presence of B. mandrillaris in the environment in Iran may be common. However, no clinical cases have been reported so far in this country. In the present study, a survey was conducted in order to evaluate the presence of B. mandrillaris in hot-spring samples of northern Iran. A total of 66 water samples were analysed using morphological and molecular tools. Positive samples by microscopy were confirmed by performing PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene of B. mandrillaris. Sequencing of the positive amplicons was also performed to confirm morphological data. Two of the 66 collected water samples were positive for B. mandrillaris after morphological and molecular identification. Interestingly, both positive hot springs had low pH values and temperatures ranging from 32 °C to 42 °C. Many locals and tourists use both hot springs due to their medicinal properties and thus contact with water bodies containing the organism increases the likelihood of infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of B. mandrillaris from hot-spring sources related to human activity. Therefore, B. mandrillaris should be considered as a possible causative agent if cases of encephalitis are suspected following immersion in hot springs in addition to Acanthamoeba and Naegleria. © Cambridge University Press 2016.}, language = {English}, number = {11}, journal = {Epidemiology and Infection}, author = {Latifi, A.R. and Niyyati, M. and Lorenzo-Morales, J. and Haghighi, A. and Tabaei, S.J.S. and Lasjerdi, Z.}, year = {2016}, keywords = {16S, Article, Bacterial, Balamuthia mandrillaris, DNA, DNA sequence, Hot Springs, Iran, Polymerase Chain Reaction, RNA, RNA 16S, Ribosomal, Sequence Analysis, amplicon, bacterial RNA, controlled study, gene amplification, genetics, isolation and purification, microbiology, microscopy, nonhuman, nucleotide sequence, pH, parasite identification, polymerase chain reaction, temperature, thermal spring, water analysis, water sampling}, pages = {2456--2461} }

Methods Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) were used to identify infants aged 48-183 days admitted between 11/03/2013 and 31/10/2014 with intussusception. Diagnosis was confirmed from medical records and HES procedure codes. Vaccination status was obtained from general practitioners. The risk of admission within 1-7 and 8-21 days of vaccination was analysed using the self-controlled case-series (SCCS) method with age effect adjustment by including historical data before RVI introduction in July 2013. Results A total of 119 cases were identified during the study period and intussusception confirmed in 95 of whom 39 were vaccinated 1-21 days before onset. An increased relative incidence (RI) in this period was found, 4.53 (95\% confidence interval 2.34-8.58) and 2.60 (1.43-4.81) respectively after the 1st and 2nd doses with an attributable risk of 1.91 and 1.49 per 100,000 doses respectively. The peak risk was 1-7 days after the first dose, RI 13.81 (6.44-28.32), with an estimated 93\% of the 15 cases being vaccine-attributable. Mean interval between onset and admission, and clinical features were similar between vaccine-associated and background cases. Despite intussusception being a contraindication to rotavirus vaccination, 10 infants received a further dose; none had a recurrence. The RIs in a meta-analysis combing our results with Australia, Mexico, Brazil and Singapore using RV1, a 2, 4 month schedule and SCCS gave pooled RI estimates of 2.35 (1.45-3.8) and 1.77 (1.29-2.43) in the 21 day period after the 1st and 2nd doses, respectively. The earlier age at the 2nd dose in England did not affect the risk. Conclusion We estimate that the RVI programme causes around 21 intussusception admissions annually in England but, since it prevents around 25,000 gastro-intestinal infection admissions, its benefit/risk profile remains strongly positive.Copyright © 2016}, language = {English}, number = {32}, journal = {Vaccine}, author = {Stowe, J. and Andrews, N. and Ladhani, S. and Miller, E.}, year = {2016}, keywords = {*Rotavirus vaccine/ae [Adverse Drug Reaction], *Rotavirus vaccine/dt [Drug Therapy], *intussusception/si [Side Effect], *vaccination, England, article, attributable risk, clinical feature, drug contraindication, female, follow up, hospital admission, human, incidence, infant, intestine infection/dt [Drug Therapy], intestine infection/pc [Prevention], intussusception/si [Side Effect], major clinical study, male, priority journal, recurrent disease, risk assessment, risk benefit analysis}, pages = {3684--3689}, }

Pediatric, obese, and obstetric patients undergoing general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation are considered to be at risk of rapid desaturation. As an adjunct to conventional preoxygenation techniques, continuous oxygen administration during the apneic period, termed apneic oxygenation, assists in the maintenance of oxygenation when tracheal intubation is attempted. Nine articles were selected for appraisal in this literature review: 6 randomized control trials, 2 prospective studies, and 1 retrospective study.

This study aimed to explore the ability to deliberately generate (i.e., pose) and imitate facial expressions of emotions in women with anorexia (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), compared to healthy controls (HC). METHODS: One hundred and three participants (36 AN, 25 BN, and 42 HC) were asked to pose and imitate facial expressions of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness. Their facial expressions were recorded and coded. RESULTS: Participants with eating disorders (both AN and BN) were less accurate than HC when posing facial expressions of emotions. Participants with AN were less accurate compared to HC imitating facial expressions, whilst BN participants had a middle range performance. All results remained significant after controlling for anxiety, depression and autistic features. LIMITATIONS: The relatively small number of BN participants recruited for this study. CONCLUSIONS: The study findings suggest that people with eating disorders, particularly those with AN, have difficulties posing and imitating facial expressions of emotions. These difficulties could have an impact in social communication and social functioning. This is the first study to investigate the ability to pose and imitate facial expressions of emotions in people with eating disorders, and the findings suggest this area should be further explored in future studies.}, language = {eng}, journal = {Journal of Affective Disorders}, author = {Dapelo, Marcela Marin and Bodas, Sergio and Morris, Robin and Tchanturia, Kate}, year = {2016}, pmid = {26599363}, keywords = {Article, Eating disorders, Emotion, Face, Imitation, Social functioning}, pages = {1--7}, }

AIM: To develop an evidence-based clinical practice guide on MC current concepts. METHODS: Literature search was done on the Cochrane Library, EMBASE and MEDLINE electronic databases, which were consulted covering the period up until March 2015. Work groups were selected for each of the reviewed topics, with the purpose of drafting the initial statements and recommendations. They subsequently underwent a voting process based on the Delphi method. Each statement/recommendation was accompanied by the result of the vote the level of evidence, and discussion of the corresponding evidence. The grade of recommendation (GR) using the GRADE approach was established for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. RESULTS: Some key statements and recommendations are: advancing age increases the risk of developing MC, mainly in females. The symptoms of MC and IBS-D may be similar. If MC is suspected, colonoscopy taking biopsies is mandatory. Treatment with oral budesonide is recommended to induce clinical remission in patients with MC. Oral mesalazine is not recommended in patients with collagenous colitis for the induction of clinical remission. The use of anti-TNF-alpha drugs (infliximab, adalimumab) is recommended for the induction of remission in severe cases of MC that fail to respond to corticosteroids or immunomodulators, as an alternative to colectomy.

Here, we present results from a 6-y field experiment, where we applied sequences of wet and dry years, increasing interannual precipitation coefficient of variation while maintaining a precipitation amount constant. Increased precipitation variability significantly reduced ecosystem primary production. Dominant plantfunctional types showed opposite responses: perennial-grass productivity decreased by 81\%, whereas shrub productivity increased by 67\%. This pattern was explained by different nonlinear responses to precipitation. Grass productivity presented a saturating response to precipitation where dry years had a larger negative effect than the positive effects of wet years. In contrast, shrubs showed an increasing response to precipitation that resulted in an increase in average productivity with increasing precipitation variability. In addition, the effects of precipitation variation increased through time. We argue that the differential responses of grasses and shrubs to precipitation variability and the amplification of this phenomenon through time result from contrasting root distributions of grasses and shrubs and competitive interactions among plant types, confirmed by structural equation analysis. Under drought conditions, grasses reduce their abundance and their ability to absorb water that then is transferred to deep soil layers that are exclusively explored by shrubs. Our work addresses an understudied dimension of climate change that might lead to widespread shrub encroachment reducing the provisioning of ecosystem services to society.}, number = {41}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences}, author = {Gherardi, Laureano A. and Sala, Osvaldo E.}, year = {2015}, keywords = {ANPP, LTER, article, interannual variability, journal, nonlinear response, plant-functional types, precipitation}, pages = {12735--12740. www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1506433112} }

Dexmedetomidine is also used intravenously at different intensive care units with the purpose of sedation of children. In this paper, we assess 51 minor trials in the form of 44 randomized controlled trials and 7 prospective observational studies in an attempt to update the available evidence on dexmedetomidine use in pediatrics. Furthermore, we discuss its potential indications, benefits and adverse effects. However, it is important to state that much of the existing evidence favoring dexmedetomidine in children is either extrapolated from adult studies or based on small randomized controlled trials and observational studies with their inherent methodological shortcomings and confounding factors. Based on the best current evidence dexmedetomidine is found suitable and safe for various indications. However, in order to discover its full potential, indications, dosing and safety profile for various ages and procedures, it should urgently be examined by conducting good quality pediatric trials. Finally, we provide the readers with guidance on how to apply and dose dexmedetomidine for pediatric sedation and for other indications.

Relatively frequent, intense storms increase soil moisture and lead to ephemeral runoff. Quantifying these processes, however, is difficult due to the sparse nature of existing observations. This study presents results from a dense network of rain gauges, soil probes, channel flumes, and an eddy covariance tower in a small watershed of the Jornada Experimental Range. Using this network, the temporal and spatial variability of soil moisture conditions and channel runoff were assessed from June 2010 to September 2011. In addition, tower measurements were used to quantify the seasonal, monthly and event-scale changes in land�atmosphere states and fluxes. Results from this study indicate a strong seasonality in water and energy fluxes, with a reduction in the Bowen ratio (B) from winter (B = 14) to summer (B = 3.3). This reduction was tied to higher shallow soil moisture (�) availability during the summer (� = 0.040 m3/m3) as compared to winter (� = 0.004 m3/m3). Four consecutive rainfall�runoff events during the NAM were used to quantify the soil moisture and channel runoff responses and how water availability impacted land�atmosphere fluxes. The network also allowed comparisons of several approaches to estimate evapotranspiration (ET). Using a water balance residual approach, a more accurate ET estimate was obtained when distributed measurements were used, as opposed to single site measurements at the tower. In addition, the spatially-varied soil moisture data yielded a more reasonable daily relation between ET and �, an important parameterization in many hydrologic models. These analyses illustrate the value of high-resolution sampling in small watersheds to characterize hydrologic processes. � 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The technique of random sampling by conglomerates was used, taken from randomly selected census drafts, with a total sample of 441 individuals. The prevalence of edentulism, bleeding and dental calculus was 50.8\%, 27.2\% and 32\%, respectively, excluding all sextants in 59\% of the elderly. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-squared test with the level of significance set at 5\%. Prior to association tests, the dependant variables were submitted to principal component analysis. Four factors were extracted to represent the oral health conditions of elderly individuals. A statistically significant association was found between the following variables: gender and the presence of a caregiver with gum disease; age, residence area, presence of a caregiver and household density with need for dental prosthesis; and household density with soft tissue injuries. Therefore, precarious oral health conditions were found among the elderly and associations were found between these conditions and the socio-demographic factors, particularly gender, age and residence area. The results obtained demonstrated the need for improved oral health conditions in the elderly.

This study examines the rates of influenza vaccine prescriptions in a clinic population, and patient, doctor and clinic factors that could affect the vaccine prescribing rates. Material(s) and Method(s): This retrospective review utilised electronic medical records from HIV-infected patients seen in an infectious disease (ID) specialist clinic. Data from 40 randomly selected patients per physician were analysed for the outcome of influenza vaccine prescriptions from 1 January to 31 December 2007. All 7 consultants and the 6 ID registrars who had spent at least 4 months in the Department during 2007 were included. Data analysed included patient, physician, and clinic characteristics, and clinically relevant outcomes of admission within a year, and the length of hospital stay. Result(s): Of the 461 HIV-infected patients analysed for this study, only 107 (23\%) were prescribed influenza vaccine in 2007. Vaccine prescribing rates by individual physicians ranged from 0\% to 77\%. The outcome of vaccine prescribing was analysed by patient demographics (age {\textgreater}40 years, gender, race), physician characteristics (doctor grade, gender and training), and clinic volumes (number of patients per clinic session). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that patients with female doctors (OR 1.8, 95\% CI, 1.1 to 3.0, P = 0.017), and doctors with overseas medical training (OR 11.6, 95\% CI, 6.0 to 22.2, P {\textless}0.001) were significantly more likely to have influenza vaccine prescribed. On univariate analysis, patients were more likely to be admitted if they were male (OR 2.1, 95\% CI, 1.0 to 5.1, P = 0.041), and over 40 years old (OR 2.1, 95\% CI, 1.1 to 4.5, P = 0.024). Patients prescribed influenza vaccine showed a non-significant trend for protection against admission (OR 0.7, P = 0.288), and shorter length of stay (median 5 vs 9 days, P = 0.344). Conclusion(s): Influenza vaccine prescribing for HIV-infected outpatients in 2007 was only 23\%, even in an ID specialist clinic. There was substantial variability in prescribing rates by individual physicians. Neither patient demographics nor patient volumes per clinic session had an impact on the prescribing rates, but significant predictors included physician gender and medical school training.

A review of nine membrane technology-based water reuse plants from across the world has been conducted to provide an insight into the trends in design and operation of these plants, and elucidate the impact of key water quality and other determinants. Data reveal a number of common elements, such as the design flux for the reverse osmosis membrane, as well as a number of other trends. The microfiltration/ ultrafiltration (MF/UF) backwash interval appears to correlate better with feed water temperature than turbidity or total suspended solids, whereas chemical cleaning requirements are more dependent on plant operating parameters and water quality. There is some indication that the MF/UF pore size influences the filtrate turbidity (and silt density index) and so downstream reverse osmosis fouling and cleaning. Finally, specific energy demand (SED) values vary widely, from 0.8 to 2.3 kWh m-3 permeate. Whilst the SED for the MF/UF process follows the flux, the overall energy demand shows no apparent dependence on the dissolved solids concentration or other feed water quality determinants. This range of energy demand amounts to 25-70\% of the energy demand for seawater desalination. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.}, language = {English}, number = {5}, journal = {Environmental Technology (United Kingdom)}, author = {Raffin, M. and Germain, E. and Judd, S.}, year = {2013}, keywords = {Case studies, Cleaning requirements, Desalination, Design and operations, Energy management, Equipment Design, Equipment Failure Analysis, Feed water temperatures, Membrane technology, Membranes, Membranes, Artificial, Municipal, Municipal wastewaters, Reuse, Reverse osmosis, Seawater, Seawater desalination, Technology Assessment, Biomedical, Total suspended solids, Turbidity, Ultrafiltration, Waste Water, Wastewater, Wastewater reclamation, Water Pollutants, Chemical, Water Purification, Water conservation, Water filtration, Water quality, Water supply, advanced technology, article, biofouling, cleaning, desalination, membrane, membrane technology, microfiltration, osmosis, phosphorus, reverse osmosis, suspended load, suspended particulate matter, turbidity, ultrafiltration, waste water management, waste water recycling, wastewater, water quality, water temperature}, pages = {617--627} }

A Quality of Life study was conducted in primary care in three European countries as part of a larger epidemiological study (SPRIK) to investigate the impact of paediatric rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) on affected children and their parents.Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was linguistically validated in Spanish, Italian and Polish. The questionnaire was included in an observational multicentre prospective study of 302 children aged {\textless}5 years presenting to a general practitioner or paediatrician for RVGE at centres in Spain, Italy or Poland. RV infection was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing (n = 264). The questionnaire was validated and used to assess the emotional impact of paediatric RVGE on the parents.Results: Questionnaire responses showed that acute RVGE in a child adversely affects the parents' daily life as well as the child. Parents of children with RVGE experience worry, distress and impact on their daily activities. RVGE of greater clinical severity (assessed by the Vesikari scale) was associated with higher parental worries due to symptoms and greater changes in the child's behaviour, and a trend to higher impact on parents' daily activities and higher parental distress, together with a higher score on the symptom severity scale of the questionnaire.Conclusions: Parents of a child with acute RVGE presenting to primary care experience worry, distress and disruptions to daily life as a result of the child's illness.

We investigated both humoral and cellular immune responses against the pandemic H1N1 2009 virus before and after immunization with inactivated H1N1 2009 vaccine. Method(s): We obtained paired blood specimens from a cohort of participants from nursing homes (n=108) and a public hospital (n=60) in Singapore. Serum samples were tested for neutralizing antibodies against H1N1 2009 using microneutralization assays, while peripheral blood mononuclear cells were subjected to interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assays for whole virus-specific T-cell responses. Result(s): We observed significant increases in geometric mean titers of neutralizing antibodies after H1N1 2009 vaccination (from 23.6 pre-vaccination to 94.7 post-vaccination). Approximately 77\% and 54\% of the cohort exhibited {\textgreater}=2-fold and {\textgreater}=4-fold increases in neutralizing antibody titers following vaccination; 89.9\% of the cohort had a post-vaccination antibody titer of {\textgreater}=32. Adjusted for gender, participants aged {\textgreater}=60 years were less likely to have a {\textgreater}=4-fold increase in antibody titers after vaccination than those aged {\textless}60 years (0.48; 95\% confidence interval (95\% CI) 0.32-0.71, p=0.007). There was a 1.4-fold elevation in H1N1 2009-specific T-cell responses after vaccination (p{\textless}0.05). Adjusted for gender, age {\textgreater}=60 years was positively associated with a greater increase in T-cell response (beta=4.9, 95\% CI 1.58-8.29, p=0.018). No significant correlation was observed between humoral and cellular immune responses. Conclusion(s): Influenza vaccination elicits significant neutralizing antibody and T-cell responses to pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza virus. However, in response to vaccination, increases in neutralizing antibody titers were comparatively lower but T-cell responses were higher in older participants. Therefore, our study suggests that memory T-cells may play a crucial role in protecting older individuals against pandemic H1N1 2009 infection. © 2012 International Society for Infectious Diseases.}, language = {English}, number = {8}, journal = {International Journal of Infectious Diseases}, author = {Hsu, J.

Working in a shrub-encroached grassland in the northern Chihuahuan Desert where grasses and shrubs typically differ in leaf-level nitrogen allocation, photosynthetic pathway, and root distribution, we asked if differences in leaflevel ecophysiology could help explain shrub proliferation. We predicted that the relative performance of grasses and shrubs would vary with soil moisture due to the diVerent morphological and physiological characteristics of the two life-forms. In a 2-year experiment with ambient, reduced, and enhanced precipitation during the monsoon season, respectively, the encroaching C3 shrub (honey mesquite Prosopis glandulosa) consistently and substantially outperformed the historically dominant C4 grass (black grama Bouteloua eriopoda) in terms of photosynthetic rates while also maintaining a more favorable leaf water status. These differences persisted across a wide range of soil moisture conditions, across which mesquite photosynthesis was decoupled from leaf water status and moisture in the upper 50 cm of the soil proWle. Mesquite?s ability to maintain physiologically active leaves for a greater fraction of the growing season than black grama potentially ampliWes and extends the importance of physiological differences. These physiological and phenological differences may help account for grass displacement by shrubs in drylands. Furthermore, the greater sensitivity of the grass to low soil moisture suggests that grasslands may be increasingly susceptible to shrub encroachment in the face of the predicted increases in drought intensity and frequency in the desert of the southwestern USA.}, number = {2}, journal = {Oecologia}, author = {Throop, Heather L. and Reichmann, Lara G. and Sala, Osvaldo E. and Archer, Steven R.}, year = {2012}, keywords = {Jornada, LTER-JRN, article, drought, grassland community, journal, photosynthesis, precipitation manipulation, shrub invasion, water potential, woody encroachment}, pages = {373--383} }

Vietnam is situated in the region of high rotavirus infection incidence and eligible for financial support to introduce rotavirus vaccines into the Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) from the GAVI. This study was designed to assess the cost-effectiveness of rotavirus immunization in Vietnam, explicitly the use of Rotateq and to assess the affordability of implementing universal rotavirus immunization based on GAVI-subsidized vaccine price in the context of Vietnamese healthcare system for the next 5 years. Methodology: An age-structured cohort model was developed for the 2009 birth cohort in Vietnam. Two strategies were compared: one being the current situation without vaccination, and the other being mass universal rotavirus vaccination. The time horizon of the model was 5 years with time cycles of 1 month for children less than 1 year of age and annual analysis thereafter. Outcomes included mild, moderate, severe cases and death. Multiple outcomes per rotavirus infection are possible in the model. Monte Carlo simulations were used to examine the acceptability and affordability of the rotavirus vaccination. All costs were expressed in 2009 US\$. Results: Rotavirus vaccination would not completely protect young children against rotavirus infection due to partial nature of vaccine immunity, however, would effectively reduce severe cases of rotavirus by roughly 55\% during the first 5 years of life. Under GAVI-subsidized vaccine price (US\$ 0.3/dose), the vaccine cost would amount to US\$ 5.5 million per annum for 3-dose of the Rotateq vaccine. In the base-case, the incremental cost per quality-adjusted-life-year (QALY) was US\$ 665 from the health system perspective, much lower than per-capita GDP of {\textasciitilde}US\$ 1150 in 2009. Affordability results showed that at the GAVI-subsidized vaccine price, rotavirus vaccination could be affordable for Vietnamese health system. Conclusion: Rotavirus vaccination in Vietnam would be a cost-effective health intervention. Vaccination only becomes affordable if the country receives GAVI's financial support due to the current high market vaccine price. Given the high mortality rate of under-five-year children, the results showed that rotavirus immunization is the " best hope" for prevention of rotavirus-related diarrhoeal disease in Vietnam. In the next five years, Vietnam is definitely in debt to financial support from international organizations in implementing rotavirus immunization. It is recommended that new rotavirus vaccine candidates be developed at cheaper price to speed up the introduction of rotavirus immunization in the developing world in general. 2011 Elsevier Ltd.}, journal = {Vaccine}, author = {{Tu H.A.T.} and {Rozenbaum M.H.} and {Coyte P.C.} and {Li S.C.} and {Woerdenbag H.J.} and {Postma M.J.}}, year = {2012}, keywords = {*Rotavirus infection/dm [Disease Management], *Rotavirus infection/dt [Drug Therapy], *Rotavirus infection/pc [Prevention], *Rotavirus vaccine/dt [Drug Therapy], *Rotavirus vaccine/pe [Pharmacoeconomics], *drug cost, Child, Infant, Monte Carlo method, Vaccination, Viet Nam, article, cost effectiveness analysis, drug efficacy, health care system, health economics, human, major clinical study, mortality, preschool child, priority journal, quality of life}, }
@article{klass_nematodes_2012, title = {Nematodes as an indicator of plant-soil interactions associated with desertification}, volume = {58}, doi = {10.1016/j.apsoil.2012.03.005}, abstract = {Conversion of perennial grasslands to shrublands is a desertification process that is important globally. Changes in aboveground ecosystem properties with this conversion have been well-documented, but little is known about how belowground communities are affected, yet these communities may be important drivers of desertification as well as constraints on the reversal of this state change. We examined nematode community structure and feeding as a proxy for soil biotic change across a desertification gradient in southern NM, USA. We had two objectives: (1) to compare nematode trophic structure and species diversity within vegetation states representing different stages of desertification, and (2) to compare nematode community structure between bare and vegetated patches that may be connected via a matrix of endophytic fungi and soil biotic crusts. The gradient included a perennial grassland dominated by Bouteloua eriopoda, the historic dominant in the Chihuahuan Desert, a duneland dominated by the shrub, Prosopis glandulosa, and the ecotone between them. We also sampled a relatively undisturbed, ungrazed B. eriopoda grassland at a nearby site to serve as an end member of our gradient. Nematode communities were sampled using soil cores to depth of 50 cm at each location in 2009 and 2010. Results showed that grasslands and mesquite dunelands had different trophic groupings and herbivorous nematode communities with lower species diversity and evenness compared with the ecotone. Nematode trophic structure and herbivore communities were significantly different in all vegetation states with the highest observed diversity in the undisturbed, ungrazed B. eriopoda grassland in 2010. Vegetated and bare ground patches within the two grassland sites had similar herbivore communities, especially species from the family Tylenchinae. However, the mesquite duneland showed the lowest sampled diversity of all sites, but had significantly larger nematode abundances in vegetated dunes than interdune areas that are void of vegetation and soil biotic crusts where bacteriovores dominated. Decreased nematode trophic structure and species diversity in the Jornada black grama grassland samples compared with the undisturbed grassland illustrate the effect of desertification on the soil biotic community. Our results show that nematodes can be used to identify changes in belowground community structure based on trophic interactions. Large-scale disturbances like desertification can have consequences on the diversity and soil biotic functioning at finer spatial scales. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

We also surveyed three multinational manufacturers who supply influenza vaccines in the region. Result(s): Vaccine sales in the private sector were {\textless}1000 per 100,000 population in the 10 countries. Five countries reported purchasing vaccine for use in the public sector.

Ranchers wanted to reverse these trends and continue their way of life and were willing to work with scientists to achieve these goals. One response to this desire was establishment of the USDA Jornada Experimental Range (783 km2) in south central New Mexico by a Presidential Executive Order in 1912 for conducting rangeland investigations. This cooperative effort involved experiments to understand principles of proper management and the processes causing the woody shrub invasion as well as to identify treatments to eradicate shrubs. By the late 1940s, it was apparent that combining the historical ground-based data accumulated at Jornada Experimental Range with rapidly expanding post World War II technologies would yield a better understanding of the driving processes in these arid and semiarid ecosystems which could then lead to improved rangeland management practices. One specific technology was the use of aerial photography to interpret landscape resource conditions. The assembly and utilization of long-term historical aerial photography data sets has occurred over the last half century. More recently, Global Positioning System (GPS) techniques have been used in a myriad of scientific endeavors including efforts to accurately locate historical and contemporary treatment plots and to track research animals including livestock and wildlife. As an incredible amount of both spatial and temporal data became available, Geographic Information Systems have been exploited to display various layers of data over the same locations. Subsequent analyses of these data layers have begun to yield new insights. The most recent technological development has been the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that afford the opportunity to obtain high (5 cm) resolution data now required for rangeland monitoring. The Jornada team is now a leader in civil UAV applications in the USA. The scientific advances at the Jornada in fields such as remote sensing can be traced to the original Western America ranching culture that established the Jornada in 1912 and which persists as an important influence in shaping research directions today.}, number = {9}, journal = {Remote Sensing}, author = {Rango, Albert and Havstad, Kris and Estell, Rick}, year = {2011}, keywords = {LTER-JRN, UAS, UAV, Western American culture, article, geospatial technology, historical data, journal, remote sensing, unmanned aerial system, unmanned aerial vehicles}, pages = {2089--2109} }

Material(s) and Method(s): During the period from 16 to 21 March 2007, outbreak investigations and active case fi nding were carried out among residents and nursing staff at the welfare home. Interviews and medical notes review were conducted to obtain epidemiological and clinical data. Hospitalised patients were tested for respiratory pathogens.

Ecological resilience describes the amount of change or disruption that is required to transform a system from being maintained by one set of mutually reinforcing processes and structures to a different set of processes and structures (e.g., an alternative stable state). In light of this concept, effective ecosystem management must focus on the adoption of management practices and policies that maintain or enhance ecological resilience to prevent stable states from exceeding thresholds. Resilience management does not exclusively focus on identifying thresholds per se, but rather on within-state dynamics that influence state vulnerability or proximity to thresholds. Resiliencebased ecosystem management provides greater opportunities to incorporate adaptive management than does threshold-based management because thresholds emphasize limits of state resilience, rather than conditions that determine the probability that these limits will be surpassed. In an effort to further promote resilience-based management, we recommend that the STM framework explicitly describe triggers, at-risk communities, feedback mechanisms, and restoration pathways and develop process-specific indicators that enable managers to identify at-risk plant communities and potential restoration pathways. Two STMs representing different ecological conditions and geographic locations are presented to illustrate the incorporation and application of these recommendations. We anticipate that these recommendations will enable STMs to capture additional ecological information and contribute to improved ecosystem management by focusing attention on the maintenance of state resilience in addition to the anticipation of thresholds. Adoption of these recommendations may promote valuable dialogue between researchers and ecosystem managers regarding the general nature of ecosystem dynamics.}, journal = {Rangeland Ecology and Management}, author = {Briske, D.

This has the effect of artificially increasing the impact factor of journals with a higher ratio of non-citable items.

These data raise the crucial question of the effects of aging on the scientific productivity and impact of researchers. Drawing on a sizeable sample of 6,388 university professors in Quebec who have published at least one paper between 2000 and 2007, our results identify two turning points in the professors' careers. A first turning point is visible at age 40 years, where researchers start to rely on older literature and where their productivity increases at a slower pace - after having increased sharply since the beginning of their career. A second turning point can be seen around age 50, when researchers are the most productive whereas their average scientific impact is at its lowest. Our results also show that older professors publish fewer first-authored papers and move closer to the end of the list of co-authors. Although average scientific impact per paper decreases linearly until about age 50, the average number of papers in highly cited journals and among highly cited papers rises continuously until retirement. Our results show clearly that productivity and impact are not a simple and declining function of age and that we must take into account the collaborative aspects of scientific research. Science is a collective endeavor and, as our data shows, researchers of all ages play a significant role in its dynamic. © 2008 Gingras et al.}, bibtype = {article}, author = {Gingras, Y and Larivière, V and Macaluso, B and Robitaille, J.-P.}, journal = {PLoS ONE}, number = {12} }
