Townsend before the House of Representatives subcommittee of the Special Committee on Un-American Activities, Los Angeles, California, May 26, 1943, 2:00 pm. "Harold H. Townsend, formerly chief Supply and Transportation Officer at the Poston, Arizona Relocation Center, appeared under oath before the subcommittee in an executive session on May 25. Some time prior to June 10, 1943, a transcript or excerpts from Townsend's testimony were supplied the press by the committee. Later a transcript was given to the Project Director of the Poston Center. The Director and staff of the center have reviewed the Townsend testimony carefully and have prepared documentary evidence bearing on most of Townsend's assertions. We wish to take this opportunity to present for the record the comments of the War Relocation Authority on Townsend's testimony."

Clozapine-induced liver injury and pleural effusion
Get PDFClozapine, whilst associated commonly with a transient and benign increase in liver enzymes, has also been associated with varying presentations of hepatitis in existing case reports. This report describes what we believe to be the first documented case of acute liver injury and pleural effusion associated with clozapine, resolving after cessation of the agent. The case supports existing literature in advocating a high index of suspicion, particularly in the 4-5 weeks following clozapine initiation, when considering nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs

Very Noble Suppers: Agriculture and Foodways in Late Colonial Falmouth
Get PDFDuring the American colonial period, Falmouth Neck (now Portland), Maine began its progression from a small fishing village to a vibrant hub of the region’s agriculture and trade. In this article, the author explains various aspects of this progression, particularly through a description of the ways food in the region made its way from farm (or ocean) to table. The author earned an MA in liberal studies from Wesleyan University in 1991 and a PhD in history from the University of Maine in 2009, writing a dissertation on the history of Falmouth from 1760-1775. He has published numerous works, including a previous article in Maine History; an online monograph entitled Securing the Leg Irons: restriction of legal rights for slaves in Virginia and Maryland, 1625-1791; and an essay in Creating Portland: History and Place in Northern New England, edited by Joseph A. Conforti. He is a frequent public lecturer, an adjunct professor of history at Southern Maine Community College, and a member of the Maine Historical Society, the New England Historical Association, and Phi Alpha Theta, the international historical honors society
Incidence and prevalence of Lewy body dementia in India: A systematic review
No full textWith increasing life expectancy in India, the prevalence of age-related disorders, such as dementia has also increased. Health and social care resources for each state are allocated based on their inhabitants’ age, sex, education, and urban/rural status but not on the dementia subtype, which can significantly influence prognosis, healthcare utilization, and quality of life. Herein, we aimed to systematically review studies investigating the prevalence of the Lewy body dementia (LBD) subtype in India. We conducted a systematic review of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and APA PsychINFO databases on June 22, 2023. Two independent reviewers performed screening and full-text review, with a third reviewer resolving any disputes. Quality was assessed for each extracted paper. Of 1372 identified studies, full-text reviews were conducted on 399 and data were extracted from 4. Two studies included prevalence data on dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), one on Parkinson’s disease dementia and one on LBD. DLB or LBD has been reported to represent 1.0 – 8.9% of dementia diagnoses. Methodological heterogeneity was characterized by study design, access to biomarkers, diagnostic criteria, and use of cognitive tools. No studies reported incidence data. A paucity of research on LBD epidemiology in India is compounded by methodological heterogeneity, poorly representative cohorts, and varying access to biomarkers. Consensus guidelines may support data harmonization and the creation of multisite consortia, which could redress the under-representation of Central Asian data in epidemiological and genetic LBD studies

If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you.STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.-- It is the purpose of this study to determine whether a change in the hemoglobin content of the capillary blood in humans occurs in association with monthly or seasonal meteorological changes.
RESEARCH PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES.-- A number of inmates from the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Norfolk volunteered for the study. This group was made up of male subjects between the ages of 18 gnd 45 years. Of the original group, 60 subjects completed the study. Two groups were used, one with 46 subjects identified as group "A" and the other with 14 subjects identified as group "B".* A hemoglobin test was performed on group "A" once monthly for twelve consecutive months. These tests were administered during the first week of each month from 9:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. Group "B" was formed by a random sample and organized to determine whether hemoglobin content varies more in one day (specifically between morning and afternoon) than it does from month to month or season to season.
A hemoglobin test was performed on the 14 inmates comprising group "B" two times in one day during the first week of each month between the hours of 10:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M. (first test) and 1:00 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. (second test)[TRUNCATED].2999-01-0
A common outcome set for trials in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB COS)
No full textIntroduction: Methodological heterogeneity in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) trials contributes to publication bias and makes evidence synthesis and meta-analysis challenging. We aimed to develop a core outcome set for DLB (DLB COS) trials to improve consistency and comparability in DLB research. Methods: We conducted a systematic review to identify outcomes and administered a two-stage Delphi survey to a diverse panel of lay and professional stakeholders. We asked respondents which outcomes should be prioritized and included in DLB COS. Results: Forty-nine outcomes were presented to survey respondents. Consensus was reached regarding eight outcomes for the final DLB COS: delusions/paranoia; fluctuations in cognition, attention, and arousal; functioning; global cognition; hallucinations; quality of life; motor parkinsonism; and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder.Discussion: If adopted, DLB COS can enhance the comparability of research findings and facilitate standardization and harmonization. Highlights: A systematic review revealed heterogeneity in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) study outcomes. Our study produced a DLB Core Outcome Set (DLB COS) comprising eight outcomes. DLB COS sets the minimum reporting standards for future trials. DLB-specific rating scales incorporating these outcomes are needed. Addressing this gap is a strategic priority in DLB research
Dementia with Lewy bodies research consortia: A global perspective from the ISTAART Lewy Body Dementias Professional Interest Area working group
Get PDFDementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) research has seen a significant growth in international collaboration over the last three decades. However, researchers face a challenge in identifying large and diverse samples capable of powering longitudinal studies and clinical trials. The DLB research community has begun to focus efforts on supporting the development and harmonization of consortia, while also continuing to forge networks within which data and findings can be shared. This article describes the current state of DLB research collaborations on each continent. We discuss several established DLB cohorts, many of whom have adopted a common framework, and identify emerging collaborative initiatives that hold the potential to expand DLB networks and diversify research cohorts. Our findings identify geographical areas into which the global DLB networks should seek to expand, and we propose strategies, such as the creation of data-sharing platforms and the harmonization of protocols, which may further potentiate international collaboration
Long-term care for patients with dementia
No full textOlder people with dementia in long-term care constitute a complex population. It is important to establish at an early stage after admission the reasons for the placement and gain a good understanding of the background problems and agree a comprehensive care plan which should pay particular attention to management of infections, attitudes to hospitalisation, and palliative care. We discuss the pertinent clinical issues along with the importance of vaccination. The emergence of telemedicine is important. No chapter on long-term care of people with dementia is complete without consideration of the effects and legacy of COVID-19. Finally, a case history illustrating some common issues, and how they might be addressed, is included.</p
