Perioperative hyperglycemia and neurocognitive outcome after surgery: a systematic review
No full texta B
introDUction: Preliminary evidence suggest a possible relationship between perioperative
hyperglycemia, postop- erative delirium (PoD) or cognitive dysfunction (PocD). We aim to present
the available clinical evidence related to chronic (i.e. diabetes mellitus) or acute perioperative
hyperglycemia as risk factors for PoD/PocD.
eviDence acQUisition: a literature search of eMBase (via ovid, 1974-present) online medical
database and MeDline (via PubMed or ovid, 1946-present) was performed. all types of clinical
studies including randomized con- trolled trials, prospective, as well as retrospective cohort
studies were screened. clinical studies that reported original information on the relationship
between diabetes mellitus (DM) and/or acute perioperative abnormal glucose levels and PoD or PocD
were selected. reviews and editorials (i.e. articles not presenting original preclinical or
clinical research) were excluded and case-reports were not considered for analysis.
eviDence sYntHesis: our search resulted in 2356 papers for screening, from which we selected 29
studies that met our inclusion criteria. DM was investigated in 24 observational papers, acute
perioperative hyperglycemia in six obser- vational studies and two randomized controlled trials
examined the effect of perioperative glucose lowering on PoD/ PocD. Diabetes was associated with
PoD or PocD in 18/24 observational studies and 6/6 of the included observational studies found that
perioperative hyperglycemia was associated with PoD/PocD, independent of diabetes. the two ran-
domized controlled trials had a different trial design and reported conflicting results.
conclUsions: according to the available evidence, DM and acute perioperative hyperglycemia may be
associated with an increased risk for PoD/PocD. these conclusions are based mostly on observational
studies and deserve more and dedicated research. this systematic review may direct the design of
future studies.

No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
