Duration of Symptoms Is Not Always the Key Modulator of the Choice of Reperfusion for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Fibrinolytic therapy (FT) and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are both well-accepted reperfusion therapies in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The evidence of randomized clinical trials indicates a relatively modest difference in 30-day mortality (≈1%) in favor of primary PCI over fibrin-specific FT and was based on very timely primary PCI (ie, a primary PCI–related delay of 40 minutes [door-to-balloon less door-to-needle time]).1 Longer delays to primary PCI, which are far more frequent in clinical practice,2 are associated with attenuated benefit or no benefit at all, particularly when compared with fibrin-specific FT.3,4 The benefit of timely primary PCI over FT is likely to especially apply to higher-risk patients.5,6 Irrespective of the method of reperfusion, the potential for myocardial salvage and better clinical outcome is inversely proportional to ischemic time or its only available clinical surrogate, symptom duration.7–12 These considerations underpin the notion expressed in the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines on the treatment of STEMI that timely reperfusion therapy is likely more important in determining outcome than whether FT or primary PCI is the chosen reperfusion method.13 Response by Armstrong et al p 1310 The ACC/AHA STEMI guidelines highlight the time point of 3 hours of symptom duration in guiding the choice of reperfusion therapy. They state that if symptom duration is <3 hours, no preference exists between FT and primary PCI provided that treatment is timely (for FT, door-to-needle time <30 minutes; for primary PCI, door-to-balloon time <90 minutes and ≤60 minutes between estimated needle time and estimated balloon time). However, if symptom duration exceeds 3 hours, these guidelines favor primary PCI over FT, again provided that primary PCI can be performed in a timely fashion.13 This article reexamines the evidence that may or may not be the basis …

The chemical history of molecules in circumstellar disks

(Abridged) Aims & Methods. A two-dimensional, semi-analytical model is presented that follows, for the first time, the chemical evolution from a collapsing molecular cloud (a pre-stellar core) to a protostar and circumstellar disk. The model computes infall trajectories from any point in the cloud and tracks the radial and vertical motion of material in the viscously evolving disk. It includes a full time-dependent radiative transfer treatment of the dust temperature, which controls much of the chemistry. A small parameter grid is explored to understand the effects of the sound speed and the mass and rotation of the cloud. The freeze-out and evaporation of carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H2O), as well as the potential for forming complex organic molecules in ices, are considered as important first steps to illustrate the full chemistry. Results. Both species freeze out towards the centre before the collapse begins. Pure CO ice evaporates during the infall phase and re-adsorbs in those parts of the disk that cool below the CO desorption temperature of ~18 K. H2O remains solid almost everywhere during the infall and disk formation phases and evaporates within ~10 AU of the star. Mixed CO-H2O ices are important in keeping some solid CO above 18 K and in explaining the presence of CO in comets. Material that ends up in the planet- and comet-forming zones of the disk is predicted to spend enough time in a warm zone during the collapse to form first-generation complex organic species on the grains. The dynamical timescales in the hot inner envelope (hot core or hot corino) are too short for abundant formation of second-generation molecules by high-temperature gas-phase chemistry.

Optimal control of vector-borne diseases: Treatment and prevention

In this paper we study the dynamics of a vector-transmitted disease using two deterministic models. First, we look at time dependent prevention and treatment efforts, where optimal control theory is applied. Using analytical and numerical techniques, it is shown that there are cost effective control efforts for treatment of hosts and prevention of host-vector contacts. Then, we considered the autonomous counter part of the mode and we established global stability results based on the reproductive number. The model is applied to study the effects of prevention and treatment controls on a malaria disease while keeping the implementation cost at a minimum. Numerical results indicate the effects of the two controls (prevention and treatment) in lowering exposed and infected members of each of the populations. The study also highlights the effects of some model parameters on the results.

Atomic modeling of surface photovoltage: Application to Si(1 1 1):H

The dependence of surface photovoltages on the wavelength of light are obtained for the first time from an atomic model and ab initio calculations. Photovoltages follow from a time-dependent density matrix treatment using a basis set of Kohn–Sham orbitals and a steady state solution for the time-dependent density matrix. An application to a H-terminated Si(1 1 1) surface gives the main features of calculated photovoltage versus incident photon energies in agreement with experimental trends. Our treatment can be implemented for a wide class of photo-electronic materials relevant to solar energy capture.

Time-dependent cell disintegration kinetics in lung tumors after irradiation

We study the time-dependent disintegration kinetics of tumor cells that did not survive radiotherapy treatment. To evaluate the cell disintegration rate after irradiation, we studied the volume changes of solitary lung tumors after stereotactic radiotherapy. The analysis is performed using two approximations: (1) tumor volume is a linear function of the total cell number in the tumor and (2) the cell disintegration rate is governed by the exponential decay with constant risk, which is defined by the initial cell number and a half-life T1/2. The half-life T1/2 is determined using the least-squares fit to the clinical data on lung tumor size variation with time after stereotactic radiotherapy. We show that the tumor volume variation after stereotactic radiotherapy of solitary lung tumors can be approximated by an exponential function. A small constant component in the volume variation does not change with time; however, this component may be the residual irregular density due to radiation fibrosis and was, therefore, subtracted from the total volume variation in our computations. Using computerized fitting of the exponent function to the clinical data for selected patients, we have determined that the average half-life T1/2 of cell disintegration is 28.2 days for squamous cell carcinoma and 72.4 days for adenocarcinoma. This model is needed for simulating the tumor volume variation during radiotherapy, which may be important for time-dependent treatment planning of proton therapy that is sensitive to density variations.

Electron-induced resonant dissociation and excitation ofNeH+andNeD+

Cross sections for electron collisions with ${\text{NeH}}^{+}$ resulting in dissociative recombination, resonance enhanced dissociative excitation, and vibrational excitation are calculated in the 1 to 19.5 eV energy region. In this energy region, the cross sections are dominated by a series of doubly excited resonance states converging to the first excited state of the ion. The resonance state energies and widths are calculated using the complex Kohn variational method and are used as input to a time-dependent treatment of the nuclear dynamics. The calculated cross sections for dissociative recombination of ${\text{NeH}}^{+}$ and ${\text{NeD}}^{+}$ are compared to recent measurements at the ASTRID storage ring. Cross sections for dissociative excitation and vibrational excitation are also reported for the ${\text{NeH}}^{+}$ and ${\text{NeD}}^{+}$ molecular ions and compared to recent cross beam experiments.

Chemical changes during transport from cloud to disk

AbstractWe present the first semi-analytical model that follows the chemical evolution during the collapse of a molecular cloud and the formation of a low-mass star and the surrounding disk. It computes infall trajectories from any starting point in the cloud and it includes a full time-dependent treatment of the temperature structure. We focus here on the freeze-out and desorption of CO and H2O. Both species deplete towards the centre before the collapse begins. CO evaporates during the infall phase and re-adsorbs when it enters the disk. H2O remains in the solid phase everywhere, except within a few AU of the star. Material that ends up in the planet- and comet-forming zones is predicted to spend enough time in a warm zone during the collapse to form complex organic species.

Estimation of treatment effect adjusting for treatment changes using the intensity score method: Application to a large primary prevention study for coronary events (MEGA study)

The MEGA study was a prospective, randomized, open-labeled, blinded-endpoints study conducted in Japan to evaluate the primary preventive effect of pravastatin against coronary heart disease (CHD), in which 8214 subjects were randomized to diet or diet plus pravastatin. The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis showed that pravastatin reduced the incidence of CHD (hazard ratio=0.67; 95 per cent confidence interval (CI): 0.49-0.91) and of stroke events, which was the secondary endpoint in the MEGA study (hazard ratio=0.83; 95 per cent CI: 0.57-1.21). Owing to considerable treatment changes, it is also of interest to estimate the causal effect of treatment that would have been observed had all patients complied with the treatment to which they were assigned. In this paper, we present an intensity score method developed for clinical trials with time-to-event outcomes that correct for treatment changes during follow-up. The proposed method can be easily extended to the estimation of time-dependent treatment effects, where the technique of g-estimation has been difficult to apply in practice. We compared the performances of the proposed method with other methods (as-treated, ITT, and g-estimation analysis) through simulation studies, which showed that the intensity score estimator was unbiased and more efficient. Applying the proposed method to the MEGA study data, several prognostic factors were associated with the process of treatment changes, and after adjusting for these treatment changes, larger treatment effects for pravastatin were observed for both CHD and stroke events. The proposed method provides a valuable and flexible approach for estimating treatment effect adjusting for non-random non-compliance.

Improvement in Survival Associated With Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation

More than 2000 adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantations (LDLT) have been performed in the United States, yet the potential benefit to liver transplant candidates of undergoing LDLT compared with waiting for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a survival benefit of adult LDLT. Adults with chronic liver disease who had a potential living donor evaluated from January 1998 to February 2003 at 9 university-based hospitals were analyzed. Starting at the time of a potential donor's evaluation, we compared mortality after LDLT to mortality among those who remained on the waiting list or received DDLT. Median follow-up was 4.4 years. Comparisons were made by hazard ratios (HR) adjusted for LDLT candidate characteristics at the time of donor evaluation. Among 807 potential living donor recipients, 389 underwent LDLT, 249 underwent DDLT, 99 died without transplantation, and 70 were awaiting transplantation at last follow-up. Receipt of LDLT was associated with an adjusted mortality HR of 0.56 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.42-0.74; P < .001) relative to candidates who did not undergo LDLT. As centers gained greater experience (>20 LDLT), LDLT benefit was magnified, with a mortality HR of 0.35 (95% CI: 0.23-0.53; P < .001). Adult LDLT was associated with lower mortality than the alternative of waiting for DDLT. This reduction in mortality was magnified as centers gained experience with LDLT. This reduction in transplant candidate mortality must be balanced against the risks undertaken by the living donors themselves.

Magnetic evaluation of the hardening and softening of thermally aged iron–copper alloys

We evaluated the variations of the magnetic hysteretic behaviour of Fe–1wt%Cu model alloy samples due to thermal aging and over-aging. In these alloys, the formation and growth of Cu-precipitates during the thermal aging process results in mechanical hardening, whereas for aging times higher than a certain critical value, mechanical softening occurs. Magnetic hysteretic properties such as permeability, remanence, peak value and width of the local interaction field distribution, which is related to the Preisach model, are measured as a function of various Cu-precipitation stages obtained by time dependent heat treatments at 773 K (500 °C). We found that all magnetic parameters exhibit an extremum value for the peak hardening sample. Furthermore, the variation of permeability, remanence, and the peak value of the local interaction field distribution mimics the behaviour of the reciprocal value of the yield stress as a function of aging time. These results suggest that the magnetic domain wall movement is hindered mainly by Cu-precipitates upon thermal aging. The peak hardening values of the investigated magnetic parameters change by approximately 50% when compared with the initial values. This pronounced sensitivity indicates the potential of magnetic non-destructive evaluation for the assessment of the hardening and softening phenomena induced by Cu-precipitation.

Bootstrap confidence intervals for principal response curves

The principal response curve (PRC) model is of use to analyse multivariate data resulting from experiments involving repeated sampling in time. The time-dependent treatment effects are represented by PRCs, which are functional in nature. The sample PRCs can be estimated using a raw approach, or the newly proposed smooth approach. The generalisability of the sample PRCs can be judged using confidence bands. The quality of various bootstrap strategies to estimate such confidence bands for PRCs is evaluated. The best coverage was obtained with BC a intervals using a non-parametric bootstrap. The coverage appeared to be generally good, except for the case of exactly zero population PRCs for all conditions. Then, the behaviour is irregular, which is caused by the sign indeterminacy of the PRCs. The insights obtained into the optimal bootstrap strategy are useful to apply in the PRC model, and more generally for estimating confidence intervals in singular value decomposition based methods.

Resonant dissociative excitation and vibrational excitation ofHe2+

We present calculated cross sections for resonance-enhanced dissociative excitation and vibrational excitation in the $1--15\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{eV}$ energy region. In this region, the cross sections are dominated by a series of doubly excited resonance states converging to the first excited state of the ion. The resonance states and parameters were previously calculated using the complex Kohn variational method and are used as input to a time-dependent treatment of the nuclear dynamics. The dissociative recombination cross section for the $^{4}\mathrm{He}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{4}\mathrm{He}^{+}$ ion is calculated and compared to the previously published cross section for the mixed isotopologue. The calculated cross sections for dissociative excitation and vibrational excitation, including excitation into individual vibrational states, are reported for the $^{3}\mathrm{He}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{4}\mathrm{He}^{+}$ and $^{4}\mathrm{He}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{4}\mathrm{He}^{+}$ molecular ions and compared to recent experiments.

Density Functional Theory Study on Anti-resonance in Preresonance Raman Scattering for Naphthalene Molecules

The anti-resonance phenomenon in preresonance Raman scattering is investigated on the basis of the direct Taylor expansion of the electric dipole transition moments in vibrational Raman tensors with respect to vibrational normal coordinates. A time-dependent density functional theory treatment is applied to compute the anti-resonance of a nontotally symmetric vibrational model for naphthalene molecules, and the model spectra agree favorably with experiment. This direct evaluation approach may provide a method of predicting anti-resonance and studying its origin.

Time-dependent perturbation treatment of independent Raman schemes

The problem of a trapped ion subjected to the action of two or more independent Raman schemes is analysed through a suitable time-dependent perturbative approach based on the factorization of the evolution operator in terms of other unitary operators. We show that the dynamics of the system may be traced back to an effective Hamiltonian up to a suitable dressing. Moreover, we give the method to write the master equation corresponding to the case wherein spontaneous decays occur.
