Full textAbstract:
Background: Multi-component interventions in large communities such as Philadelphia can effectively lower childhood obesity rates. It is less clear whether this type of intervention can be successful in smaller communities with more limited resources. Norwood, Ohio is a small Midwestern city with a population of 19,207. In 2010, Ohio passed a school health law requiring Body Mass Index (BMI) screening of students in kindergarten and grades 3, 5 and 9 along with restrictions on competitive foods and vending machine products and a physical education requirement of 30 min per day. In 2014, Norwood implemented a multi-component childhood obesity prevention and treatment bundle of interventions. Our objective was to describe the effects if this bundle on childhood overweight/obesity (OW/OB) rates. We hypothesized that implementation of the bundle would lower the prevalence of OW/OB in Norwood school children. Methods: In 2012, the Healthy Kids Ohio Act was fully implemented in the Norwood City School District (NCSD). In 2014 a comprehensive bundle was implemented that included: 1. A student gardening program; 2. Supplementation of fresh produce to a local food pantry and a family shelter; 3. A farmers market; 4. A health newsletter; 5. Incentives in the school cafeterias to promote healthy food selection; 6. A 100-mile walking club; 7. “Cook for America” (a “cooked from scratch” intervention for school cafeterias); 8. A school-based obesity treatment clinic; Results: The OW/OB rate in the NCSD was 43% at the time of the Bundle implementation in 2014 and 37% in 2016 (p = 0.029). Conclusions: A childhood OW/OB prevention bundle can be implemented in a small city and is associated with a favorable change in BMI.

Aim: To explore the prevalence of hair loss and its relation to men’s stress and smoking, Methodology: A cross sectional study attempts to explore the prevalence of baldness among the male residents of Lahore. For this purpose, a randomized sample of the male population was taken into consideration. The socio-demographic details, along with the smoking status of the sample were determined. Moreover, the body mass index (BMI) was also determined by referring to a prefixed formula. Baldness and stress levels were also quantified by taking into account the Norwood Hamilton categorical scale, and the perceived stress scale, respectively. A total of 250 male members were invited to participate in the research. Results: The study results showed that 51.2%, 41.2% and 7.6%of male experienced moderate, high and low level of stress respectively. When taking the Norwood Hamilton categorical scale into account, the results revealed that most prevalent type of baldness was Type II, which is the fronto-temporal hairline recession, with 19.2% of the individuals experiencing it. Age was significantly associated with baldness. Similarly a higher frequency of baldness was recorded in those men who lived in a nuclear family arrangement. Conclusion: No association was found between the type of baldness, stress level and smoking status. Keyword: Alopecia, Baldness, Norwood Hamilton categorical scale, Perceived stress scale, smoking

Full textAbstract:
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital heart disease that affects the normal blood flow through the heart and it characterized by a critical underdevelopment of the left heart. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is 1.43.8% among all congenital heart defects and 16% among critical congenital heart disease. Mortality in large cardiac surgery centers currently does not exceed 15%. However, mortality among patients with low body mass is up to 51% after the first stage of palliative surgery. In our clinical case, we describe hemodynamic surgery in neonatal with left-heart hypoplasia syndrome and low body weight (Norwood procedure with Sano shunt), postoperative case management inter-stage period and bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis procedure (second stage of hemodynamic correction).

AbstractObjectiveHyperglycaemia has been identified as a risk factor for adverse outcomes in critically ill patients, including those who have undergone cardiopulmonary bypass. Tight glucose control with insulin therapy has been shown to improve outcomes, but is not common practice for children following cardiopulmonary bypass. We examined the relationship between blood glucose level and systemic and cerebral oxygen transport in a uniform group of neonates after the Norwood procedure.MethodsSystemic oxygen consumption was measured using respiratory mass spectrometry in 17 neonates for 72 hours postoperatively. Cardiac output, systemic and total pulmonary vascular resistances – including the Blalock–Taussig shunt, systemic oxygen delivery and oxygen extraction ratio, as well as arterial lactate and glucose, were measured at 2- to 4-hour intervals. Cerebral oxygen saturation was measured by near-infrared spectroscopy.ResultsBlood glucose levels ranged from 2.8 to 24.6 millimoles per litre. Elevated glucose level showed a significant negative correlation with cardiac output (p = 0.02) and cerebral oxygen saturation (p = 0.03), and a positive correlation with oxygen extraction ratio (p = 0.03). It tended to correlate positively with systemic vascular resistance (p = 0.09) and negatively with oxygen delivery (p = 0.09), but did not correlate with oxygen consumption (p = 0.13).ConclusionsHyperglycaemia is negatively associated with systemic haemodynamics, oxygen transport, and cerebral oxygenation status in neonates after the Norwood procedure. Further study is warranted to examine tight glucose control with insulin therapy on postoperative systemic and cerebral oxygen transport and functional outcomes in neonates after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is associated with increased risk of several systemic diseases and some environmental factors, however, controversies exist. Since AGA and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) share common pathogenesis and AGA manifests some decades before BPH onset, it may serve as an early marker of BPH.Objective: This study was conducted to know AGA and its association with BPH in men ≥20 years of age.Materials and Methods: Clinically diagnosed cases of AGA (n=176) and 117 age matched healthy controls were enrolled. All cases and controls were subjected for abdomino-pelvic ultrasonography, urinary flowmetry, fasting lipid profiles, glycemic index and body mass index. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was also assessed.Results: Among 176 patients, 120 (68.18%) had Hamilton-Norwood grade III AGA and 56 (31.82%) had grade IV-VII AGA. In both groups, 140 (79.55%) cases and 93 (79.49%) controls were aged <35 years respectively. Family history of AGA was present in 108 (61.36%) cases and 2 (1.71%) controls. This observation was statistically significant with OR= 89.61 (95%CI 23.67-339.29). Three (1.7%) cases and none of the controls had prostate volume >30ml. Seventeen(9.66%) cases and 4 (3.42%) controls were graded as moderately/severely symptomatic IPSS. Statistically significant association was seen between family history and early onset of hair loss (<35 years) in a male sibling or parent.Conclusion: Although positive family history was associated with early onset of AGA, no association between AGA and BPH could be elicited in our study.

"Hepatic arterial infusion with floxuridine and cisplatin: overriding importance of antitumor effect versus degree of tumor burden as determinants of survival among patients with colorectal cancer." Journal of Clinical Oncology 4, no. 9 (September 1986): 1356–64. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.1986.4.9.1356.
Full textAbstract:
Cisplatin (CDDP) was combined with floxuridine (FUDR) and delivered into the hepatic arteries of 29 patients as induction therapy for colorectal cancer metastatic to the liver. Mitomycin C and FUDR combination was substituted after progression or when response had peaked. Chemotherapy was delivered with an Infusaid pump (Infusaid Corp; Norwood, Mass; 14 patients), Medtronic programmable drug administration device (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis; two patients), or percutaneously placed catheters (13 patients). Complete disappearance of liver metastases was observed in four patients and 11 additional patients had a partial remission as determined by computed tomography (CT) scan and substantiated at times by angiography, for a total response rate of 52%. Response as determined by imaging techniques coincided with a concurrent decrease in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and improvement in performance status. The severity of tumor burden was correlated with the response to therapy and survival. Among those patients who responded to arterial chemotherapy, differences in disease severity did not significantly influence survival. Median survival among responders with greater than 25% liver replacement by tumor was 14 months (P = .28), compared with 28 months for those patients with less than 25% liver replacement. In contrast, differences in tumor burden significantly affected survival among patients who failed to respond to chemotherapy; median survival among nonresponding patients with greater than 25% liver replacement was 4 months, compared with 8 months for those who had less than 25% liver replacement (P = .01). The presence of minimal extrahepatic disease at the time of initiation of intraarterial treatment did not seem to have a significant detrimental effect on survival. The study suggests that hepatic tumor response to arterial administration of CDDP and FUDR and mitomycin C and FUDR is clinically significant because it overrides the effect of tumor burden on survival among patients who have colorectal cancer with liver metastases and may offer effective palliation.

Full textAbstract:
255 Background: Early onset of puberty, resulting in more prolonged exposure to higher androgen levels, has been hypothesized to be a risk factor for more aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) later in life. We sought to determine whether earlier age of first shave and height, as surrogates of pubertal onset, were associated with worsening PCa characteristics. Methods: A prospectively collected registry of patients presenting for a prostate biopsy at the Charlie Norwood Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Augusta, GA between July 1995 and June 2016 was utilized. Age of first shave and height were compared to the risk of cancer on prostate biopsy, high grade cancer (i.e. Gleason score 8 or higher), and high volume disease (i.e. at least 50% of total cores were positive) using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis, controlling for patient age, race, prostate specific antigen, percent free prostate specific antigen, clinical stage, prostate volume, body mass index, family history. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 and all statistical analyses were performed using R version 3.6.1. Results: Of the 1,176 patients analyzed, 599 (50.9%) had a cancer on prostate biopsy, of which 141 (23.5%) and 194 (32.4%) had high grade and volume disease, respectively. Median age of first shave was 17.0 years (interquartile range 16.0-19.0) and height was 177.8 cm (172.7-182.9). On multivariable analysis, later age of first shave was significantly associated with increased odds of a positive prostate biopsy (odds ratio for > 18 years versus < 16 years: 5.36, p = 0.03) and taller patients had significantly increased odds of high-grade cancer (odds ratio for 175-180 cm versus < 175 cm 7.41, p = 0.038). Conclusions: Among patients presenting for a prostate biopsy, those with a later age of first shave and taller height had an increased risk of a positive prostate biopsy and high-grade PCa, respectively. This suggests that patients with later age of puberty, and thus later testosterone surges, are at increased risk of overall and high-grade PCa. [Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on Modlitwa [Prayer], a short prose piece written by Cyprian Norwid towards the end of his life. The phrase “pod wrażeniem Teatru wiedeńskiego” [“under the impression of the Viennese theatre”] is read here as an indication that, despite the Arab setting, the plot and other elements of this piece draw on three tragic events directly preceding its composition in January 1882: the fire at the Ringtheater on 8 December 1881 and two events in Warsaw: the panic in the Holy Cross Church during Christmas Mass on 25 December, and the three-day-long pogrom of the Jewish community on 25–27 December. Uncovering these contexts, as suggested by Norwid, makes it possible to interpret Modlitwa as a parable which, by criticizing secularization, shows the way towards God and the fullness of prayer.

Abstract The author of the article claims that masterpieces need invisible translation. In order to “measure” the quality of a translation of a literary masterpiece, a critic has to compare the translation with its original and choose the best method of evaluating the translated text. The method which she proposed in this article was based on the attempt to discover the signifi cant and the most significant features of the orginal (by means of katena adapted from bibliology) and finding these features in its translations. The original was the starting-point of her analysis and she demanded as much faithfulness as possible to the original. Thus she began her analysis with the examination of Norwid’s poem: Fatum using (as katena demands) its interpretations and critics’ commentaries. She pointed out six features which constituted the specific quality of Norwid’s poem and therefore should be conveyed in its translation. Then she analysed Jerzy Peterkiewicz and Burns Singer’s translation of Fatum. She noticed that these translators made the assumption that the structure of the poem was most important. They maintained the rhymes of the original, but at the same time forfeited its brevity. In her opinion the failure of Peterkiewicz and Singer’s translation is attributable to their lack of knowledge of Norwid’s text and its interpretations. Peterkiewicz and Singer did not convey in depth any of the six features which constitute the specific quality of Norwid’s poem. Thus the readers of their translation of Fate will never realize that they are dealing with a masterpiece of Polish poetry. Résumé L’auteur de cet article estime que les chefs-d’oeuvre nécessitent une traduction invisible. Pour «mesurer» la qualité de la traduction d’un chef-d’oeuvre littéraire, un critique doit comparer la traduction à son original et choisir la meilleure méthode pour évaluer le texte traduit. La méthode qu’elle proposait dans cet article était basée sur la tentative de découvrir les traits significatifs et les traits les plus significatifs de l’original (au moyen de katena adapté de la bibliologie) et sur la présence de ces traits dans ses traductions. L’original constituait le point de départ de son analyse et elle exigeait de l’original la plus grande fidélité possible. Elle a donc commencé son analyse en examinant le poème de Norwid : Fatum, en utilisant (comme l’exige katena) ses interprétations et ses commentaires critiques. Elle a relevé six éléments qui composaient la qualité spécifique du poème de Norwid et qui devaient, par conséquent, apparaître dans sa traduction. Puis, elle a analysé la traduction de Fatum par Jerzy Peterkiewicz et Burns Singer. Elle a remarqué que ces traducteurs avaient supposé que la structure du poème était ce qui importait le plus. Ils ont conservé les rimes de l’original mais, en même temps, ont perdu sa concision. À son avis, l’échec de la traduction de Peterkiewicz et de Singer était dû au manque de connaissance du texte de Norwid et de ses interprétations. Peterkiewicz et Singer n’ont rendu en profondeur aucun des six éléments qui constituent la qualité spécifi que du poème de Norwid. Aussi les lecteurs de leur traduction de Fate ne se rendront-ils jamais compte qu’il s’agit d’un chef-d’oeuvre de la poésie polonaise.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBackground and aimsSeveral years ago, one of us described the difference in attitude to patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome in the United States of America and Europe as similar to that between Mars and Venus. Uncertainty remains with regard to the long-term prognosis for patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This prognosis may be considered in terms of survival, functional performance, including exercise capacity and neurodevelopment, as well as psychosocial effects on the patient, family, and siblings. Counselling parents where either an antenatal or postnatal diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome has been made requires practitioners to give information on these prognostic aspects. We wanted to see how attitudes among European surgeons have changed over the last few years.MethodsWe performed a review of recent European data for hypoplastic left heart syndrome and conducted a survey among surgeons in major European centres to ascertain key aspects of their attitudes to the management of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and how they counsel parents.Results and conclusionsAs of January, 2011, 2392 citations in the PubMed database were available for the search string “hypoplastic left heart”. The majority of these were from the centres from the United States of America and Europe. The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Congenital Heart Surgery Database shows an annual increase in the number of Norwood (Stage I) operations for hypoplastic left heart syndrome from 2003 to 2009, with a corresponding reduction in mortality. European rates of antenatal detection vary widely between centres, as do the rates of termination for a prenatal diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. We observed a wide variation in the estimates of surgeons for survival and quality of life for surgical palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, as well as in their estimates for actual rates of termination of pregnancy in their centres. Further, there was marked inconsistency in the information given to parents as part of the process of counselling. These issues remain to be resolved if parents are to make a fully informed decision for their child.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the New England village novel, a prestigious subgenre that figured in many of the midcentury’s critical assessments of what constituted “American literature” but that is now largely forgotten. Once important novels like Sylvester Judd’s Margaret (1845), Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Kavanagh (1849), Oliver Wendell Holmes’s Elsie Venner (1861), and Henry Ward Beecher’s Norwood (1869) tell us about middle-class social values and their investment in reform in their depictions of New England village life during this period of time. This chapter explores some of the contradictions inherent in locating idealized theological and social change within the residual space of the New England village. As a consequence of these contradictions, the utopia of the New England village novel becomes literally “no place,” frozen between nostalgia for a unified national community that never existed and hope that through reform the village could fulfill utopian possibilities for the nation. This genre also maps out the transformation of attitudes toward social reform from the picturesque utopianism of Judd’s Margaret to a much narrower vision of the transformative possibilities of the picturesque in Beecher’s post-Civil War novel, Norwood, a quarter of a century later. This transformation reveals the importance of the picturesque to an alternative history of the mid-nineteenth-century American novel and explores the rise and decline of middle-class use of the picturesque as an authoritative discourse to reshape spaces and enact social change in American life.

Full textAbstract:
A finite-element analysis of possible silicon carbide (SiC), folded-beam, lateral-resonating accelerometers is presented. Results include stiffness coefficients, acceleration sensitivities, resonant frequency versus temperature, and proof-mass displacements due to centripetal acceleration of a blade-mounted sensor. The surface micromachined devices, which are similar to the Analog Devices® Inc., (Norwood, MA) air-bag crash detector, are etched from 2-μm thick, 3C-SiC films grown at 1600 K using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). The substrate is a 500 μm-thick, (100) silicon wafer. Polysilicon or silicon dioxide is used as a sacrificial layer. The finite-element analysis includes temperature-dependent properties, shape change due to volume expansion, and thermal stress caused by differential thermal expansion of the materials. The finite-element results are compared to experimental results for a SiC device of similar, but not identical, geometry. Along with changes in mechanical design, blade-mounted sensors would require on-chip circuitry to cancel displacements due to centripetal acceleration and improve sensitivity and bandwidth. These findings may result in better accelerometer designs for this application.
