Toward a consensus definition of pathological video-gaming: a systematic review of psychometric assessment tools
No full textPathological video-gaming, or its proposed DSM-V classification of "Internet Use Disorder", is of increasing interest to scholars and practitioners in allied health disciplines. This systematic review was designed to evaluate the standards in pathological video-gaming instrumentation, according to Cicchetti (1994) and Groth-Marnat's (2009) criteria and guidelines for sound psychometric assessment. A total of 63 quantitative studies, including eighteen instruments and representing 58,415 participants, were evaluated. Results indicated that reviewed instrumentation may be broadly characterized as inconsistent. Strengths of available measures include: (i) short length and ease of scoring, (ii) excellent internal consistency and convergent validity, and (iii) potentially adequate data for development of standardized norms for adolescent populations. However, key limitations included: (a) inconsistent coverage of core addiction indicators, (b) varying cut-off scores to indicate clinical status, (c) a lack of a temporal dimension, (d) untested or inconsistent dimensionality, and (e) inadequate data on predictive validity and inter-rater reliability. An emerging consensus suggests that pathological video-gaming is commonly defined by (1) withdrawal, (2) loss of control, and (3) conflict. It is concluded that a unified approach to assessment of pathological video-gaming is needed. A synthesis of extant research efforts by meta-analysis may be difficult in the context of several divergent approaches to assessment.Daniel L. King, Maria C. Haagsma, Paul H.

Improving MHC-I ligand identifications from LC-MS/MS data by incorporating allelic peptide motifs
No full textMHC class I (MHC-I)-bound ligands play a pivotal role in CD8 T cell immunity and are hence of major interest in understanding and designing immunotherapies. One of the most commonly utilized approaches for detecting MHC ligands is LC-MS/MS. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of current algorithms to identify MHC ligands from LC-MS/MS data is limited because the search algorithms used were originally developed for proteomics approaches detecting tryptic peptides. Consequently, the analysis often results in inflated false discovery rate (FDR) statistics and an overall decrease in the number of peptides that pass FDR filters. Andreatta et al. describe a new scoring tool (MS-rescue) for peptides from MHC-I immunopeptidome datasets. MS-rescue incorporates the existence of MHC-I peptide motifs to rescore peptides from ligandome data. The tool is demonstrated here using peptides assigned from LC-MS/MS data with PEAKs software but can be deployed on data from any search algorithm. This new approach increased the number of peptides identified by up to 20-30% and promises to aid the discovery of novel MHC-I ligands with immunotherapeutic potential
Collecting Cures in an Artisanal Manuscript: Practical Therapeutics and Disease in Ms. Fr. 640
No full textScattered throughout Ms. Fr. 640, the forty medical recipes form a small percentage of its over 900 entries. A consideration of the ailments, ingredients, and making processes described in the manuscript, as well as the author-practitioner’s process of collecting information, reveals a variety of connections between Ms. Fr. 640’s medical recipes and early modern artisanal work
The Poems of MS Junius 11 Basic Readings
No full textTaken from the same manuscript as Cynewulf, the Junius 11 poems-Genesis, Exodus, Daniel, and Christ and Satan-comprise a series of redacted Old English works that have been traditionally presented as the work of Bede's Caedmon. Medieval scholars have concluded that the four poems were composed by more than one author and later edited by Junius in 1655. All of the poems are notable for their Christian content. Apart from its focus on the Junius 11 manuscript, this collection of essays is also important as a study of how to read, edit, and define any medieval literary text.Front Cover -- The Poems of MS Junius 11 -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Preface of the General Editors -- Introduction: R.

Simultaneous determination of diphenylarsinic and phenylarsinic acids in amended soils by optimized solvent extraction coupled to HPLC-MS/MS
No full textA solvent extraction method coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (HPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of soil diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) and phenylarsinic acid (PAA). Several extraction solvents were evaluated with respect to the degree of soil extract-induced matrix effects and the recovery values for DPAA and PAA in the four studied soil matrices. Validation data showed that solvent extraction had a negligible impact on the accurate quantification of DPAA. In contrast, only with disodium hydrogen phosphate extraction did the method give both limited matrix effects (102-107%) with a coefficient of variation 74.03%) were obtained for both analytes. The results show that the proposed solvent extraction method coupled to HPLC-MS/MS analysis can provide accurate and reliable determinations of DPAA and PAA in soil samples. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
