Missing persons summary

Hemodynamic, renal, and endocrine effects of 4-h infusions of human atrial natriuretic peptide in normal volunteers.

A synthetic human atrial natriuretic peptide of 26 aminoacids [human (3-28)ANP or hANP] was infused into normal male volunteers. Six subjects were infused for 4 h at 1-wk intervals with either hANP at the rate of 0.5 or 1.0 microgram/min or its vehicle in a single-blind randomized order. Human (3-28)ANP at the dose of 0.5 microgram/min raised immunoreactive plasma ANP levels from 104 +/- 17 to 221 +/- 24 pg/ml (mean +/- SEM), but it induced no significant change in blood pressure, heart rate, effective renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate, or renal electrolyte excretion. At the rate of 1.0 microgram/min, human (3-28)ANP increased immunoreactive plasma ANP levels from 89 +/- 12 to 454 +/- 30 pg/ml. It reduced effective renal plasma flow from 523 +/- 40 to 453 +/- 38 ml/min (P less than 0.05 vs. vehicle), but left glomerular filtration rate unchanged. Natriuresis rose from 207 +/- 52 to 501 +/- 69 mumol/min (P less than 0.05 vs. vehicle) and urinary magnesium excretion from 3.6 +/- 0.5 to 5.6 +/- 0.5 mumol/min (P less than 0.01 vs. vehicle). The excretion rate of the other electrolytes, blood pressure, and heart rate were not significantly modified. At both doses, human (3-28)ANP tended to suppress the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In 3 additional volunteers, the skin blood flow response to human (3-28)ANP, infused for 4 h at the rate of 1.0 microgram/min, was studied by means of a laser-doppler flowmeter. The skin blood flow rose during the first 2 h of peptide administration, then fell progressively to values below baseline. After the infusion was discontinued, it remained depressed for more than 2 h. Thus, in normal volunteers, human (3-28)ANP at the dose of 1.0 microgram/min produced results similar to those obtained previously with rat (3-28)ANP. It enhanced natriuresis without changing the glomerular filtration rate while effective renal plasma flow fell. It also induced a transient vasodilation of the skin vascular bed.

Freilandversuche mit gentechnisch verändertem Weizen mit Mehltauresistenz

Nutzen und Umweltrisiken von gentechnisch verändertem (GV) Sommerweizen mit verbesserter Mehltauresistenz wurde von einem Verbund Schweizer Forschungsgruppen von 2008 bis 2010 an zwei Standorten im Freiland untersucht. GV Weizenlinien mit spezifischer Resistenz gegen Mehltau und allgemeiner Pilzresistenz wurde mit Kontrolllinien, kommerziellen Weizensorten sowie Gerste und Triticale verglichen. Neben der Mehltauresistenz wurden die Auswirkungen auf Insekten und Bodenlebewesen (Bakterien, Mykorrhizapilze, Bodenfauna) sowie die Auskreuzung auf Weizen untersucht. Mehrere GV Weizenlinien waren deutlich resistenter gegen Mehltau als ihre Kontrollen. Es wurden keine relevanten Auswirkungen auf Nichtzielorganismen, deren Biodiversität und ausgewählte Ökosystemleistungen gefunden. Insgesamt waren die Unterschiede zwischen GV und Kontrolllinien geringer als zwischen kommerziellen Weizensorten oder anderen Getreidearten. Auskreuzungsereignisse waren selten und wurden nur in kurzer Distanz zu GV Versuchspflanzen gefunden.

Localized fibrous tumours of the pleura: 15 new cases and review of the literature.

OBJECTIVE: To present a series of localized fibrous tumours of the pleura (LFTP), to define the clinical and histopathological diagnostic criteria of this tumour, and to determine the optimal treatment and follow-up. METHODS: Review of the charts of the patients with the diagnosis of LFTP (formerly called benign fibrous mesothelioma), as well as of all the histological sections, including immunohistochemical stains. Review of the literature with special emphasis on the clinical and histological criteria of malignancy. RESULTS: During the last 30 years, we found 15 patients with a complete clinical chart and histological material, particularly paraffin blocks of the tumour. The mean age was 57 years (range 27-79). Eight patients were asymptomatic, and the remaining seven presented with non-specific symptoms. All but one had complete resection of the tumour, including partial lung resection in two and partial chest wall resection in three. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological review in 15 cases. Immunohistochemical stainings showed positivity for vimentin in all cases, for CD 34 in 80%, but were consistently negative for cytokeratins. Nine tumours were histologically classified as malignant. Among them, five recurred, two of which were responsible for death. One benign tumour recurred after 1 year, and was treated successfully by repeat resection and radiotherapy. Overall, 13 patients (86%) were alive with no evidence of disease between 10 months and 27 years after the first resection. CONCLUSIONS: LFTP is a rare tumour which has a benign clinical course in over 80% of the cases, and is asymptomatic in half the patients. The diagnosis is difficult to establish before operation. Treatment consists of complete resection including adjacent structures if necessary. The clinical behaviour of LFTP cannot be predicted on the basis of histological aspects only. If histologically malignant tumours are more prone to recurrence and poor outcome, broad-based and locally invasive tumours bear a higher risk of recurrence. Long term follow-up is therefore mandatory in all cases in order to perform early re-resection when recurrence occurs.

Simple estimation of incident HIV infection rates in notification cohorts based on window periods of algorithms for evaluation of line-immunoassay result patterns.

BACKGROUND: Tests for recent infections (TRIs) are important for HIV surveillance. We have shown that a patient's antibody pattern in a confirmatory line immunoassay (Inno-Lia) also yields information on time since infection. We have published algorithms which, with a certain sensitivity and specificity, distinguish between incident (< = 12 months) and older infection. In order to use these algorithms like other TRIs, i.e., based on their windows, we now determined their window periods. METHODS: We classified Inno-Lia results of 527 treatment-naïve patients with HIV-1 infection < = 12 months according to incidence by 25 algorithms. The time after which all infections were ruled older, i.e. the algorithm's window, was determined by linear regression of the proportion ruled incident in dependence of time since infection. Window-based incident infection rates (IIR) were determined utilizing the relationship 'Prevalence = Incidence x Duration' in four annual cohorts of HIV-1 notifications. Results were compared to performance-based IIR also derived from Inno-Lia results, but utilizing the relationship 'incident = true incident + false incident' and also to the IIR derived from the BED incidence assay. RESULTS: Window periods varied between 45.8 and 130.1 days and correlated well with the algorithms' diagnostic sensitivity (R(2) = 0.962; P<0.0001). Among the 25 algorithms, the mean window-based IIR among the 748 notifications of 2005/06 was 0.457 compared to 0.453 obtained for performance-based IIR with a model not correcting for selection bias. Evaluation of BED results using a window of 153 days yielded an IIR of 0.669. Window-based IIR and performance-based IIR increased by 22.4% and respectively 30.6% in 2008, while 2009 and 2010 showed a return to baseline for both methods. CONCLUSIONS: IIR estimations by window- and performance-based evaluations of Inno-Lia algorithm results were similar and can be used together to assess IIR changes between annual HIV notification cohorts.

Diversity of radiolarian families through time

The examination of radiolarian biodiversity at the family level through Phanerozoic time reveals some general trends known in other groups of organisms, especially among plankton, while some other trends seem to be quite peculiar. The Permian/Triassic crisis that is one of the most important in the evolution of marine organisms, is marked in radiolarian assemblages by the extinction of two orders (Albaillellaria and Latentifistularia) towards the end of the Permian, and mostly by the tremendous diversification of Spumellaria and Nassellaria in the early-mid Triassic. Radiolarian diversity increased from Cambrian to Jurassic, remained quite stable during the Cretaceous and has decreased slightly since then.

Palveluiden laatu kuvantamisyksikössä

Opinnäytetyöni tavoitteena oli selvittää asiakkaiden mielipide palveluiden laadusta kuvantamisyksikössä, johon kuuluu yksi erikoissairaanhoidon ja kolme perusterveydenhuollon toimipistettä. Tutkimus on osa laajempaa Työn organisointi ja työnjako terveydenhuollon erityisaloilla -hanketta, joka toteutetaan yhteistyössä työelämän ja Helsingin ammattikorkeakoulu Stadian kanssa. Aineisto on kerätty ennen kuvantamisyksikössä tapahtunutta organisaatiomuutosta. Mukana on myös vertailu henkilöstön näkemyksiin. Tutkimus suoritettiin kyselylomaketutkimuksena ja aineisto analysoitiin kvantitatiivisesti. Lomake pohjautui Kuopion yliopistollisessa keskussairaalassa kehitettyyn Ihmisläheinen hoito -mittariin. Mittaria muokattiin kuvantamisosastoille sopivaksi. Palveluiden laatua mitattiin 55 väittämällä. Lisäksi lomakkeessa oli taustatietokysymyksiä. Kyselylomakkeita jaettiin yli 500 kappaletta ja niitä palautettiin 453 kappaletta, joista 416 oli riittävästi täytetty. Ihmisläheisen hoidon katsottiin toteutuvan, jos vähintään 90 % vastaajista oli tyytyväisiä palveluihin. Henkilöstökysely suoritettiin Internetin avulla ja siihen vastasi 74 työntekijästä 40. Kaiken kaikkiaan asiakkaat olivat tyytyväisiä kuvantamisyksiköiden palveluihin, perusterveydenhuollon asiakkaat olivat hieman erikoissairaanhoidon asiakkaita tyytyväisempiä. Henkilöstön arvio palveluiden laadusta oli asiakkaita kriittisempi. Mittarin palveluiden laatuun liittyviä väittämiä tarkastellaan työssä sekä yksittäisinä kysymyksinä että kuuteen eri osa-alueeseen jaettuna. Yksittäisistä asioista parhaiksi arvioitiin henkilöstön käytös ja ammattitaito, yksityisyyden säilyminen tutkimuksen aikana sekä tutkimuksen ja hoidon perustuminen tarpeisiin. Vähiten tyytyväisiä oltiin mahdollisuuteen osallistua tutkimuksen ja hoidon suunnitteluun, tiedonsaantiin ja ahdistuksen lievittämiseen. Osa-alueista parhaat arvosanat saivat "Yhteisyyssuhteet, yksityisyys ja arvostus" sekä "Tunne-elämän huomioonottaminen", huonoimmat "Fyysistä terveyttä ylläpitävä ja edistävä hoito" sekä "Saavutettavuus". Ihmisläheinen hoito toteutui kolmella osa-alueella. Työn tuloksia voi käyttää pohjana vertailtaessa tilanteeseen organisaatiomuutoksen jälkeen. Jatkotutkimuksena voisi selvittää, kuinka asiakkaat voisivat saada enemmän päätäntävaltaa ja vaikutusmahdollisuuksia terveydenhuollossa. Avainsanat asiakastyytyväisyys, palveluiden laatu, kuvantamisyksikkö

Wound repair and regeneration.

The repair of wounds is one of the most complex biological processes that occur during human life. After an injury, multiple biological pathways immediately become activated and are synchronized to respond. In human adults, the wound repair process commonly leads to a non-functioning mass of fibrotic tissue known as a scar. By contrast, early in gestation, injured fetal tissues can be completely recreated, without fibrosis, in a process resembling regeneration. Some organisms, however, retain the ability to regenerate tissue throughout adult life. Knowledge gained from studying such organisms might help to unlock latent regenerative pathways in humans, which would change medical practice as much as the introduction of antibiotics did in the twentieth century.

Para uma Bibliografia anotada dos Crioulos de base portuguesa e do Português vernáculo em África

As bibliografias são um instrumento de pesquisa imprescindível. No campo das línguas crioulas e dos pidgins, as publicações de Reinecke et al. (1975) e Tomás (1992) são referências incontornáveis mas necessitando actualizações urgentes. Em 2009, no âmbito da sua tese de Mestrado, a presente autora conduziu um primeiro trabalho de correcção e actualização das referências publicadas até à data em e sobre os crioulos de base portuguesa em África, bem como o português vernáculo de Angola, de Moçambique e o português dos Tonga. Por se tratar de uma obra com interesse para todos nós, a autora gostaria de apresentar o seu projecto à comunidade científica que investiga estas variedades linguísticas, de modo a recrutar a sua ajuda para indicar correcções ou outras entradas relevantes a incluir nesta bibliografia.
