Dementia is an age-related clinical condition, with higher incidence rates in older ages. However, there is some evidence that a reverse epidemiology is also observed. Namely, the cohort analysis of dementia incidence rates by birth in selected populations demonstrated a decreased incidence of dementia in late life across the last twenty years, possibly due to decreased incidence of cardiovascular disorders and increased education and cognitive reserve. In line with that, age is probably a proxy ...

Evaluate the anti-hyperalgesic effect of the complex containing β-caryophyllene (βCP) and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) in a non-inflammatory chronic muscle pain mice model and investigated its action on superficial dorsal horn of the lumbar spinal cord. The βCP-βCD complex were prepared and characterized through the DSC, TG/DTG, FTIR, XRD and SEM. The model of chronic muscle pain was induced by two injections of pH 4.0 saline (20 μL) into left gastrocnemius 5 days apart. After confirming hyperalgesia, male ...

Introduction: Noise-induced hearing loss is a sensorineural hearing loss, usually bilateral, irreversible and progressive with time of exposure. As the noise made by children in school may be considered detrimental, the study looks of their occurrence in Taubaté's schools. Objective: To determine if students are exposed to noise intensity affecting the cochlea, define the profile of these schoolchildren, demonstrating the occurrence of changes in cochlear activity following exposure to noise in a day of class. ...

Abstract Background In patients with metastatic seminoma, designing a risk-adapted strategy that may help personalize the burden of treatment and follow-up is required. Patients and Methods Patients who were administered cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin (PEB) were staged at baseline with computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and serum tumor markers. Restaging was then performed with PET after 2 cycles of PEB (PET 2 ) and with CT after 3 to 4 cycles of treatment. The 20% cutoff of maximal ...

In a recent critical review of de Finetti's paper "Il problema dei pieni'', the Nobel Prize winner Harry Markowitz recognized the primacy of de Finetti in applying the mean-variance approach to finance, but pointed out that de Finetti did not solve the problem for the general case of correlated risks. We argue in this paper that a more fair sentence would be: de Finetti did solve the general problem but under an implicit hypothesis of regularity which is not always satisfied. Moreover, a natural ...

Objective As an analogy with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the mild behavioral impairment (MBI) construct has been proposed as a diagnostic label for those presenting late-onset behavioral symptoms. To date, however, the clinical, cognitive, and structural imaging features associated with an increased risk of conversion from MBI to dementia are poorly understood. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the cognitive performance and structural brain MRI of 113 subjects, with a clinical follow-up of ...

The paper concerns optimal mean–variance proportional reinsurance under group correlation. In order to solve the corresponding constrained quadratic optimization problem, we make large recourse both to the smart friendly technique originally proposed by B. de Finetti in his pioneering paper (Giornale Istituto Italiano Attuari 9:1–88, 1940) and to the well known Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions for constrained optimization. We offer closed form results and insightful considerations about the problem. ...

The popularity of social-networking sites has increased rapidly over the last decade. A basic functionalities of social-networking sites is to present users with streams of events shared by their friends. At a systems level, materialized per-user views are a common way to assemble and deliver such event streams on-line and with low latency. Access to the data stores, which keep the user views, is a major bottleneck of social-networking systems. We propose to improve the throughput of these systems ...

Resumo: O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a gravidade do uso de substâncias psicoativas, situações de violência, saúde física e emocional de usuários de crack que buscam atendimento em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial para Álcool e Drogas (CAPSad), em relação ao status de moradia. Trata-se de um estudo multicêntrico em seis capitais brasileiras, com 564 usuários de crack categorizados em dois grupos: (1) usuários que estiveram em situação de rua (n = 266) e (2) nunca estiveram em situação de rua (n = 298). ...

Dysregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis has been associated with craving and early relapse among individuals with substance use disorders. However, no association has been postulated regarding treatment retention and prognosis in crack cocaine users. Our aim was to investigate the association between morning salivary cortisol levels and treatment retention in crack cocaine users. 44 male crack cocaine users were recruited from a detoxification unit.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and disabling psychiatric condition that is linked to significant disability and psychosocial impairment. Although current neuropsychological, molecular, and neuroimaging evidence support the existence of neuroprogression and its effects on the course and outcome of this condition, whether and to what extent neuroprogressive changes may impact the illness trajectory is still poorly understood. Thus, this selective review was aimed toward comprehensively and critically ...

Aims and background Primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has a significant impact on prognosis in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Patient selection is important to recognize factors limiting optimal CRS and to avoid unnecessary aggressive surgical procedures. We evaluated the contribution of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the presurgical identification of disease sites that may preclude EOC cytoreducibility. Methods Patients with suspected EOC ...

Active replication is commonly built on top of the atomic broadcast primitive. Passive replication, which has been recently used in the popular ZooKeeper coordination system, can be naturally built on top of the primary-order atomic broadcast primitive. Passive replication differs from active replication in that it requires processes to cross a barrier before they become primaries and start broadcasting messages. In this paper, we propose a barrier function τ that explains and encapsulates the differences ...

Replicated services often rely on a leader to order client requests and broadcast state updates. In this work, we present POLE, a leader election algorithm that select leaders using application-specific scores. This flexibility given to the application enables the algorithm to tailor leader election according to metrics that are relevant in practical settings and that have been overlooked by existing approaches. Recovery time and request latency are examples of such metrics. To evaluate POLE, we ...
