A collaborative perspective in green construction risk management
Full text linkMany risks existing in the supply chain of green construction projects are poorly managed by traditional non-collaborative approaches leading to problems such as higher prices, inappropriate indoor environment quality, technological failures and legal battles that in turn adversely affect all stakeholders. To reduce the cases of failure in the green construction industry, it is necessary for supply chain (SC) key players to collaboratively identify, analyse and treat risks, considering benefits and concerns of all stakeholders inside the network.
This paper presents a method for collaborative risk management to provide informed advice to supply chain stakeholders to manage risks in the green construction industry. Contribution of the proposed collaborative approach is illustrated in a case study carried out in a green construction development project in Melbourne, Australia. The case study introduced in this research is sufficiently robust to provide evidence that collaborative approaches can add value to traditional methods of risk management and presents a modelling and analysis framework for assessing supply chain risks in the green construction.

Sesquiterpene lactones from Centaurea rhizantha C.A. Meyer
No full textTwo new sesquiterpene lactones, rhizantholide A (1) and rhizantholide B (2), together with five known compounds (3-7) have been isolated from the aerial parts of Centaurea rhizantha (Asteraceae). Sesquiterpene lactones belong to guaianolide class, and rhizantholide B is a rare guaianolide characterized by a free primary alcoholic function at C-10 along with a 3β,10β-epoxy function. Their structures have been established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments, as well as HR-ESIMS. The antimicrobial activity of compounds 1-7 has been evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Only deacylcynaropicrin 8-O-[3′-hydroxy-2′-methylpropionate] (5) showed moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a MIC/MBC value of 500 μg/mL. All isolated compounds have been also evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against cancer cells. Among them, compound 5 showed the highest cytotoxic activity with IC50 values in the range 5.02–16.76 μg/mL

Is Interictal EEG Correlated with the Seizure Type in Idiopathic (Genetic) Generalized Epilepsies?
Full text linkHow to Cite this Article: Asadi-pooya AA, Emami M. Is Interictal EEG Correlated with the Seizure Type in Idiopathic (Genetic) Generalized Epilepsies? Iran J Child Neurol 2012;6(2): 25-28. Objective We investigated the correlation between different interictal EEG abnormalities observed in patients with idiopathic (genetic) generalized epilepsies (IGEs) and their seizure types. Material & Methods In this cross-sectional study, all patients with the diagnosis of IGE, were recruited in the outpatient epilepsy clinic at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from 2008 through 2010. Demographic variables and relevant clinical and EEG variables were summarized descriptively. Statistical analyses were performed using independent samples T-test, Chi square and Fisher's Exact tests to determine potentially significant differences. Results Three-hundred thirty-six patients were diagnosed ashaving IGE. Interictal EEG findings in patients with generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) compared to patients without GTCS were not different. Abnormal EEG findings in patients with myoclonic seizures compared to patients without these were not different either. However, normal EEGs were more frequently observed in patients with history of myoclonic seizures (P = 0.0001). EEG findings in patients with absences compared to patients without absences were not different. Conclusion Interictal EEG cannot differentiate the seizure types and therefore different syndromes of IGEs. Polyspikes, 3-Hz generalized spike-wave (GSW) complexes and 3.5 - 6 Hz GSW complexes, alone or in combinations, could be observed in various seizure types and syndromes of IGE. The key element in making the correct diagnosis is a detailed clinical history. References Panayiotopoulos CP. Idiopathic generalized epilepsies. In: Panayiotopoulos CP, editor.

Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Relation to Ventilatory Parameters: A Prospective Cohort Study
No full textBACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data on the association between respiratory function and atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to assess the relationship between forced expiratory volume (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC and incident AF. METHODS: We performed an analysis of prospectively collected data from the UK Biobank. We included all participants with available spirometry and excluded those with a prior AF. Incident AF was ascertained through hospitalization and death records, and dose-response associations were assessed using multivariable Cox regression analysis with adjustment for known AF risk factors. RESULTS: We studied 348,219 white individuals (54.1% female) with a median age of 58.1 (IQR 50.8-63.5) years. Over a median follow-up time of 11.5 years (IQR: 11.0-12.6 years), a total of 18,188 incident AF events occurred. After standardization to sex, age, and height, the risk of AF consistently increased with decreasing FEV1 percentage predicted, FEV1 z-score, and FVC z-score. The risk of AF linearly increased with decreasing FEV1/FVC ratio, and those that had airway obstruction as defined by an FEV1/FVC ratio < 0.70 had a 23% greater risk of incident AF (aHR 1.23, 95% CI 1.19-1.28) compared to those without airway obstruction. Patients with known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma were at 40% (aHR 1.40, 95% CI 1.29-1.51) and 17% (aHR 1.17, 95% CI 1.12-1.22) increased risk of incident AF. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that reduced ventilatory function is associated with increased risk of AF independently of age, sex, smoking, and other known AF risk factors.Jean Jacques Noubiap, Samuel J.

Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs on Electroencephalographic Findings in Patients with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy
Full text linkHow to Cite this Article: Asadi-Pooya AA, Emami M. Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs on Electroencephalographic Findings inPatients with Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy. Iranian Journal of Child Neurology 2011;5(4):33-36.ObjectiveSeveral antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) such as phenobarbital (Pb), carbamazepine (CBZ), and valproate (VPA) may suppress interictal epileptiform activity. We investigated the effects of AEDs on electroencephalography (EEG) data from patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).Materials & MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, all patients electroclinically diagnosed with IGE were recruited in the outpatient epilepsy clinic at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences from September 2008 through August 2010. A routine EEG was requested at the time of referral for all patients. Statistical analyses were performed using Chi square and Fisher’s exact test.ResultsThis study comprised of 336 patients. For about 20.8% (70 patients) of them, the initial EEG appeared normal. The first EEG was normal in 14.2% of the patients who had newly diagnosed IGE (19 patients). Normal EEG was also detected for 27.6% of the patients who received VPA monotherapy (16 patients), 31% of the patients who received CBZ monotherapy (9 patients), 29.4% of the patients who received Pb monotherapy (5 patients), and 11.1% of the patients who received lamotrigine (LTG) (1 patient).ConclusionThis study shows that compared to LTG, VPA suppresses generalized interictal epileptiform activity in patients with IGE more effectively. Theoretically, if a drug can frequently induce normalization of EEG, then it may be a better drug for treating IGEs.References1.

Cardiac Ablation by Electroporation: Effects of Pulsed Field Ablation Field Strength and Repetition on Lesion Characteristics in the Atria and Ventricle
No full textAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. The incidence and prevalence of AF are increasing and reaching epidemic measures. Cardiac ablation and pulmonary vein isolation are effective methods of managing AF reducing the rate of AF hospitalization, and in specific populations, AF ablation reduces mortality and morbidity. Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is an emerging and promising non-thermal technology for cardiac ablation. The effective applied voltage to achieve adequate irreversible myocardial injury is not well studied. The pulsed-field strength remains independent of tissue contact; therefore, PFA is assumed to be an ablation technology, not mandating the need for tissue contact. Chapter 2 evaluates the association between lesion depth created by PFA and contact, providing insight into the correlation between applied PFA voltages and the depth of irreversible myocardial injury. The catheter design and configuration determine the catheter contact. Inter-electrode spacing and the gaps between catheter splines affect the lesion size. Chapter 3 examines the association between catheter design and configuration on the lesion sets, providing a better understanding of the size and continuity of lesions created by basket, spiral, and adjustable circular catheters. The cell membrane generates a potential gradient. An abrupt increase in the cell membrane gradient can temporarily increase the membrane’s permeability (reversible electroporation). A significant increase in the cell membrane gradient by external sequential shock waves could disrupt the membrane leading to cellular apoptosis (irreversible electroporation). Chapter 4 investigates the acute effect of three doses of pulsed field ablation (PFA) when applied to the antrum of pulmonary veins. Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins immediately after application of low, intermediate, and high doses of PFA were examined. Additionally, the number of PFA applications to achieve pulmonary vein isolation was examined in this chapter. The procedural success in achieving pulmonary vein isolation was dose-dependent, and higher field strength of PFA resulted in a better acute pulmonary vein block. In this study, all three different doses of PFA were compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation. Reversible electroporation of the myocardial cells at the antrum of the pulmonary veins results in a temporary electrical block. However, the long-term success of ablation by pulmonary vein isolation is dependent on the durability of the electrical block induced by irreversible electroporation. Chapter 5 evaluates the effect of PFA dose and repetition on lesions' durability, providing valuable insight into the association between high doses of PFA and bonus ablations after the initial block in increasing durability. Although more repetitive PFA at higher doses results in durable lesions and better outcomes, the safety of high doses of PFA has not been well documented. Chapter 6 evaluates the safety of multiple applications of high doses of PFA. A comparison between three doses of PFA and conventional radiofrequency ablation revealed that PFA causes more significant myocardial injury; however, it is safe, resulting in no collateral damage. Finally, homogenising scar tissue could terminate ventricular tachycardia. Sometimes, endocardial ablation is inadequate, not resulting in a transmural lesion necessitating epicardial ablation. Epicardial ablation close to coronary arteries can cause extra myocardial injury by interrupting coronary artery flow. Therefore, delivering deep and transmural lesions by endocardial ablation without damaging coronary arteries is ideal for the ablation of ventricular tachycardia. Chapter 7 investigates the effect of different doses of PFA when delivered in a unipolar fashion on the depth and volume of ventricular lesions.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Adelaide Medical School, 202
