Smith, Dennison Billings Home, Toledo, Ohio, 1876
No full textA photo of the Colonial Revival Style home belonging to Dennison Billings Smith, at the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Superior Street in Toledo, Ohio. The home was built by Andrew Palmer in 1836. It was converted into a restaurant called the Vienna Cafe, but later moved to 1888 West Woodruff Avenue in Toledo, Ohio. It became the site of the Secor Hotel. Terms associated with the photograph are: dwellings | Smith, Dennison Billings | Palmer, Andrew | Vienna Cafe (Toledo, Ohio) | Secor Hotel (Toledo, Ohio) | Colonial Revival Style | Jefferson Avenue (Toledo, Ohio) | Superior Street (Toledo, Ohio
Symptoms of anxiety or depression and risk of fracture in older people: the Hertfordshire Cohort Study
No full textSummaryThe aim of this study was to examine the prospective association between symptoms of anxiety and depression and risk of fracture in older people. Results showed that men, but not women, with probable anxiety at baseline had an increased risk of fracture.IntroductionThe use of psychotropic drugs has been linked with an increased risk of fracture in older people, but there are indications that the conditions for which these drugs were prescribed may themselves influence fracture risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between symptoms of anxiety and depression and risk of fracture in older people. The study design is a prospective cohort study.MethodsOne thousand eighty-seven men and 1,050 women aged 59–73 years completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data on incident fracture during an average follow-up period of 5.6 years were collected through interview and a postal questionnaire.ResultsCompared to men with no or few symptoms of anxiety (score ?7 on the HADS anxiety subscale), men with probable anxiety (score ?11) had an increased risk of fracture: After adjustment for age and potential confounding factors, the odds ratio (OR) (95 % confidence interval) was 4.03 (1.55, 10.5). There were no associations between levels of anxiety and fracture risk in women. Few men or women had probable depression at baseline (score ?11 on the HADS depression subscale). Amongst men with possible depression (score 8–10), there was an increased risk of fracture that was of borderline significance: multivariate-adjusted OR 3.57 (0.99, 12.9). There was no association between possible depression and fracture risk in women.ConclusionsHigh levels of anxiety in older men may increase their risk of fracture. Future research needs to replicate this finding in other populations and investigate the underlying mechanisms

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Induction of acetyl-LDL receptor activity by phorbol ester in human monocyte cell line THP-1
No full textHuman monocytic cell line THP-1 incubated with as little as 10 ng/ml of phorbol myristate acetate bound and metabolized 1-2 micrograms of Ac-LDL over a 5-h period. In the absence of phorbol treatment, no specific metabolism of Ac-LDL occurred. Optimal levels of receptor were reached after 72 h of exposure. Induction of receptor was dependent on protein and RNA synthesis and was partially reversed upon removal of the phorbol. Induction of receptor required activation of the protein kinase C pathway. Metabolism of Ac-LDL by THP-1 cells at 37 degrees C was saturated at 25 micrograms/ml. Binding at 4 degrees C was saturable with an average Kd of 8.0 x 10(-9) M. Cell population studies by fluorescent activated cell sorting indicated that approximately 87% of the THP-1 population was expressing scavenger receptor activity 96 h after phorbol treatment as compared to 99% for murine macrophage cell line P388D1. Uptake of Ac-LDL by THP-1 resulted in an 11-fold increase in the rate of cholesterol esterification which was saturable at 50 micrograms/ml. Incubation of cells for 48 h with 50 micrograms/ml of Ac-LDL resulted in a 60% increase in free cholesterol and a 10-fold increase in the cholesteryl ester content of the cells. Lipid accumulation in THP-1 cells after Ac-LDL uptake was readily visible by Oil Red-O staining. Solubilization of THP-1 cells, before and after phorbol treatment, followed by ligand blotting with Ac-LDL detected the presence of a 250-kDa protein only in cells treated with phorbol. The protein comigrated with the scavenger receptor derived from mouse macrophage cell line P388D1
Surgical operations in short-stay hospitals : United States, 1978
No full textStatistics are presented on the utilization of non-Federal short-stay hospitals based on data abstracted in the National Hospital Discharge Survey from a national sample of hospital records of discharged inpatients. The numbers, percent distributions, and rates of patients with surgery are presented for 1970, 1974, and 1978. The number and rate of all- listed surgeries (as many as three) are shown for categories of surgery by sex and age. Number and percent distributions for all- listed surgeries are shown for surgical categories by race, and number of all-listed surgeries are shown for surgical categories by bad size of hospital. Number of single-listed operations and corresponding average lengths of stay are shown by surgical category for sex and age of patient."Based on data abstracted in the National hospital discharge survey"."By Robert Pokras, Edmund J. Graves, and Charles F. Dennison."--Introd.Includes bibliographical references.198271017731039

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
