Letter from E.R. Morrissey to Hagan
No full textTypescript letter with handwritten additions from 'Jack' 1923 [E.R. Morrissey, Dublin], to 'Carissimo' (Hagan). K.[eohane] and he are now arranging to travel and meet Hagan in the north or Switzerland. The visitor did not come- asking the name. Three couriers are searching for M.[...], full of 'hymns'; the vivas ought to be begun in London; asking Hagan to inform 'Isais'. The novices are still posing problems, only one in a hundred being properly called and their friend 'of Rosl... was a John the Baptist'. His own work is rendered very difficult, although he is not lacking in sympathy or help from K. Asking who 'M. Comford' was, the hunger striker of the last weeks. Bobbio is on the horizon; agreeing that Daniel was right to let Blowick onto it. (Continuing two weeks later) Their annual was a success; Hagan's old friend Nolan is 'a wash out'. more arrangements for travelling with K. The elections have to be held before December; there will be some trouble connected with them. Expressing his contempt for 'the Canary'; she and a friend could destroy anybody's hope for success. He and others disagree that the 'Visitators' should show more interest in the 'Novices'. Paulinus is growing young and has no bee in her bonnet despite her position

Predictors of Stunting, Wasting and Underweight among Tanzanian Children Born to HIV-Infected Women.
No full textChildren born to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women are susceptible to undernutrition, but modifiable risk factors and the time course of the development of undernutrition have not been well characterized. The objective of this study was to identify maternal, socioeconomic and child characteristics that are associated with stunting, wasting and underweight among Tanzanian children born to HIV-infected mothers, followed from 6 weeks of age for 24 months. Maternal and socioeconomic characteristics were recorded during pregnancy, data pertaining to the infant's birth were collected immediately after delivery, morbidity histories and anthropometric measurements were performed monthly. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards methods were used to assess the association between potential predictors and the time to first episode of stunting, wasting and underweight. A total of 2387 infants (54.0% male) were enrolled and followed for a median duration of 21.2 months. The respective prevalence of prematurity (<37 weeks) and low birth weight (<2500 g) was 15.2% and 7.0%; 11.3% of infants were HIV-positive at 6 weeks. Median time to first episode of stunting, wasting and underweight was 8.7, 7.2 and 7.0 months, respectively. Low maternal education, few household possessions, low infant birth weight, child HIV infection and male sex were all independent predictors of stunting, wasting and underweight. In addition, preterm infants were more likely to become wasted and underweight, whereas those with a low Apgar score at birth were more likely to become stunted. Interventions to improve maternal education and nutritional status, reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and increase birth weight may lower the risk of undernutrition among children born to HIV-infected women
An examination of the impact of gender and veteran status on falls among community-dwelling seniors
No full textThe objective of this study was to broaden our understanding of the specific characteristics of community-dwelling seniors who are at increased risk of falling and becoming injured, by paying particular attention to gender and veteran status. The 137 respondents included 69 senior male veterans, and 68 seniors in the general population. Results indicated that the veterans were at higher risk of falling than the general senior population, and were at higher risk of becoming injured after falling. Senior women were at less risk of falling and becoming injured than the veterans, but were at higher risk than the senior nonveteran men. It is imperative to target screening and falls prevention activities at these and other specific subgroups in the senior population that are at high risk of falling and becoming injured.

No full textThe everyday experience of living with and managing a neurological condition (the LINC study): study design
No full textBackground: The impact of neurological conditions on individuals, families and society is increasing and having a significant economic impact in Canada. While some economic data is known, the human costs of living with a neurological condition are poorly understood and rarely factored into future burden analyses. The "Living with the Impact of a Neurological Condition (LINC)" study aims to fill this gap. It seeks to understand, for children and adults with neurological conditions, the supports and resources that make everyday life possible and meaningful. Methods/design: The LINC study is a nested study using mixed methods. We are interested in the following outcomes specifically: health status; resource utilization; self-management strategies; and participation. Three studies captured data from multiple sources, in multiple ways and from multiple perspectives. Study One: a populationbased survey of adults (n = 1500), aged 17 and over and parents (n = 200) of children aged 5 to 16 with a neurological condition. Study Two: a prospective cohort study of 140 adults and parents carried out using monthly telephone calls for 10 months; and Study Three: a multiple perspective case study (MPCS) of 12 adults and 6 parents of children with a neurological condition. For those individuals who participate in the MPCS, we will have data from all three studies giving us rich, in depth insights into their daily lives and how they cope with barriers to living in meaningful ways. Discussion: The LINC study will collect, for the first time in Canada, data that reflects the impact of living with a neurological condition from the perspectives of the individuals themselves. A variety of tools will be used in a combination, which is unique and innovative. This study will highlight the commonalities of burden that Canadians living with neurological conditions experience as well as their strategies for managing everyday life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

The aim of the study was to evaluate protein-synthesizing function of the placenta in this category of patients.
The research was performed during the 2005-2011 biennium. On the basis of specialized clinical maternity hospital number 5 (Odesa, Ukraine). A comprehensive prospective randomized clinical and laboratory examination of 217 pregnant women and their newborns. There were analyzed during pregnancy, childbirth and newborn status in pregnant women at term PROM 22-34 weeks of pregnancy.
There was demonstrated that content TBG in serum of women and II group increased significantly compared with the control group at 32-38 weeks of pregnancy. High levels of TBG remained in the period 39-41 weeks, while at physiological indicators of current assessment AMGF, which is a marker of maternal part of the placenta in women II, III clinical and control groups showed that the most unfavorable for the prediction of perinatal pathology is increasing AMGF content like 32-38 weeks and 39-41 in week compared with the control group. The diagnostic and predictive values of the placenta proteins during PROM are discussed.

Immunovirological Efficacy of Once-Daily Maraviroc Plus Ritonavir-Boosted Atazanavir After 48 Weeks in Naive HIV-Infected Patients
No full textToxicities related to the use of nucleoside analogues have increased the interest in developing nucleoside-sparing regimens, mainly combining protease inhibitors with raltegravir. However, data regarding the use of CCR5-antagonists in this setting and in the naive scenario are scarce. The main objective was to analyze the immunovirological efficacy and tolerability of a low-dose, once-daily, maraviroc (MVC)-containing, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-sparing dual therapy compared with standard triple therapy after 48 weeks for naive HIV-infected patients in the routine clinical practice setting. All naive HIV-infected patients with stable clinical condition that started antiretroviral treatment since February 1, 2008 to May 30,h 2012 were included. MVC clinical test was used to select candidate subjects to MVC therapy. Thirty-two subjects with MVC + atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r) and 66 with standard triple therapy were analyzed. A comparable virological efficacy between groups was found after 48 weeks (87.5% vs. 80.3% of HIV undetectability, p = 0.37, MVC + ATV/r and triple therapy groups, respectively). The CD4 recovery after 48 weeks was similar and more than 200 cells/mm3 in both groups. No need of therapy changes or treatment discontinuations was observed in the MVC + ATV/r group. Effect on lipid profile, high-sensitivity C reactive protein, and β2-microglobulin was similar for both groups. Noteworthy, a significant increase of erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume was observed only in the triple therapy group. A nucleoside-sparing MVC-containing dual therapy showed similar immunovirological efficacy and tolerability than standard triple therapy in naive HIV-infected patients.This study was supported by Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias (CP08/00172 to E.R.-M. and CPII13/00037 to Y.M.P.).

Panel: Civility in the Classroom
No full textContinuing with this week’s theme of “Civility and Its Discontents,” author and attorney Kent M. Weeks, Belmont Faculty, and Belmont students will discuss the challenges, costs, and benefits involved in creating civility in the classroom. How do we define the civil classroom? Does incivility have its place? To what extent does educating people to be civil in an uncivil world help or handicap them
E-health relationships diabetes: 50 weeks evaluation
No full textHybrid e-health support was given to 11 insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients, with electronic support plus a multi-disciplinary health support team. Challenges were low ICT and health literacy. After 50 weeks, attractiveness and feasibility of the intervention were perceived as high: recommendation 9.5 out of 10 and satisfaction 9.6 out of 10. Technology acceptance model (TAM) surveys showed high usefulness and feasibility. Acceptance and health behaviours were reinforced by the prolonged health results: aerobic and strength capacity levels were improved at 50 weeks, plus health related quality of life (plus biometric benefits and medication reductions, reported elsewhere). Regarding e-health theory, we conclude that iterative skill growth cycles are beneficial for long-term adoption and e-relationships. Next, the design analysis shows opportunities for additional affective and social support, on top of the strong benefits already apparent from the direct progress feedback loops used within the health coach processes.Radiolog
