Abstract
GOAL This paper reports a novel electromagnetic sensor technique for real-time noninvasive monitoring of blood lactate in human subjects. METHODS The technique was demonstrated on 34 participants who undertook a cycling regime, with rest period before and after, to produce a rising and falling lactate response curve. Sensors attached to the arm and legs of participants gathered spectral data, blood samples were measured using a Lactate Pro V2; temperature and heart rate data was also collected. RESULTS Pointwise mutual information and neural networks are used to produce a predictive model. The model shows a good correlation between the standard invasive and novel noninvasive electromagnetic wave based blood lactate measurements, with an error of 13.4% in the range of 0-12 mmol/L. CONCLUSION The work demonstrates that electromagnetic wave sensors are capable of determining blood lactate level without the need for invasive blood sampling. SIGNIFICANCE Measurement of blood metabolites, such as blood lactate, in real-time and noninvasively in hospital environments will reduce the risk of infection, increase the frequency of measurement and ensure timely intervention only when necessary. In sports, such tools will enhance training of athletes, and enable more effecting training regimes to be prescribed.

Abstract
People with epilepsy (PWE) have a higher risk of mortality in comparison with the general population. This in part reflects intrinsic factors or associated comorbidities, but poor adherence to anti-epileptic drugs (AED) has also been shown to contribute to increased risk of death and increased utilization of unscheduled care. The aim of this review was to determine the prevalence of non-adherence to AED in PWE, evaluate whether specific clinical and demographic features can allow clinicians to identify those at highest risk and identify the methods and techniques that can be used to improve adherence in clinical settings. We identified relevant studies for the prevalence of medication non-adherence in PWE by searching MEDLINE (1946-7 Dec 2015), EMBASE (1947-7 Dec 2015) and Cochrane Library (1946-7 Dec 2015) as per predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. We included 17 research studies from our review of the medical literature to determine the prevalence of medication non-adherence in epilepsy. The prevalence of significant medication non-adherence in epilepsy has been reported to vary between 26% and 79%. This variation partly reflects the differences in defining what clinically significant medication adherence is, the methods used to estimate the scale of the problem and the underlying population heterogeneity. A number of clinical and demographic features have been associated with poor adherence allowing clinicians to identify those at greatest risk. Educating patients and their carers about the risks associated with poor adherence, certain behavioural interventions and simplifying their drug regimens have been shown to improve adherence.

Abstract
Dementia is a global health problem with a huge impact on the lives of those afflicted. There are several distinct diseases that are classified under the umbrella term "dementia" ranging from neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease to chronic infections of the central nervous system such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), a rare complication of measles virus infection in childhood. Clinical features, neuropsychological profiles and imaging characteristics of the various dementia syndromes can be sufficiently distinct to distinguish them from one another. However, in some cases, the cognitive, psychiatric and behavioural features can sufficiently overlap such that neurophysiologic testing may be of help. While it is recognized the electroencephalogram (EEG) may have a special role to play in the diagnosis of certain dementing illnesses such as SSPE and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) that have characteristic EEG changes, current research focusses on the potential utility of quantitative EEG as one more tool in the armamentarium of clinicians dealing with patients who suffer from a dementing illness. We searched PubMed and the Cochrane Database from 1 January 1946 up to 1 January 2016, combining the search terms "EEG," "electroencephalography," "dementia" and "status epilepticus"; identified papers from these searches were then read in detail and summarized. Here, we discuss both the qualitative and quantitative EEG findings in the various types of dementia.

Abstract
The kudzu bug, Megacopta cribraria (F.), is an urban nuisance and significant agricultural pest. The median lethal concentrations of three strains of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo), including the Mississippi Delta native strain (NI8) isolated from Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), the commercial strain BotaniGard(®) (GHA) (Victor, NY, USA), and the B. bassiana strain isolated from M. cribraria (KUDSC), were estimated on kudzu bug adults. A technique developed to evaluate B. bassiana against L. lineolaris was used. Younger adults (eight days after collection) were treated with NI8 and GHA and older adult (50 days after collection) were treated with NI8, GHA and KUDSC. Higher concentrations (n × 10⁶, n × 10⁷) of NI8 and GHA caused kudzu bug mortality two days after treatment in younger adults and similar concentrations of NI8, GHA, and KUDSC caused mortality one day after treatment in older adults. Lower concentrations (n × 10⁴, n × 10⁵) were not significantly different in mortality between strains. LS50 values of the KUDSC were significantly lower than NI8 and GHA values in older adults. This is the first available information on median lethal concentration of B. bassiana on kudzu bug adults bioassayed on artificial diet. It was determined that B. bassiana (KUDSC and NI8) are highly effective for young adults at very low doses (LC50 1.98-4.98 viable spores per mm²).

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing malignancy. The use of immunosuppressive therapies and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors in these patients may provide a further risk for the development of malignancy. We report the clinical and pathological findings of a high grade osteosarcoma in a patient with Crohns disease receiving TNF inhibitor therapy. In this case, a 32-year old female presented with a painful right knee after receiving maintenance adalimumab for Crohns disease for a period of six years. There is a substantial hypothetical link between TNF inhibitor regimens such as adalimumab and an increased risk of malignancy. TNF inhibitor therapy should be ceased and chemotherapy and surgery is an effective combined modality approach in these patients. The role of TNF inhibitors in patients after cancer diagnosis is uncertain and further research is required to assess efficacy and safety.

Abstract
In the standard model, the weak interaction is formulated with a purely vector-axial-vector (V-A) structure. Without restriction on the chirality of the neutrino, the most general limits on tensor currents from nuclear β decay are dominated by a single measurement of the β-ν[over ¯] correlation in ^{6}He β decay dating back over a half century. In the present work, the β-ν[over ¯]-α correlation in the β decay of ^{8}Li and subsequent α-particle breakup of the ^{8}Be^{*} daughter was measured. The results are consistent with a purely V-A interaction and in the case of couplings to right-handed neutrinos (C_{T}=-C_{T}^{'}) limits the tensor fraction to |C_{T}/C_{A}|^{2}<0.011 (95.5% C.L.). The measurement confirms the ^{6}He result using a different nuclear system and employing modern ion-trapping techniques subject to different systematic uncertainties.

Abstract
The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. It is exclusively controlled with foliar insecticide applications, and sampling methods and thresholds need to be revisited. The current experiment was designed to establish a plant-based threshold during the flowering period of cotton development. Experiments were conducted in MisSissippi in 2005 and 2006, Arkansas in 2005, and Louisiana in 2005 through 2008. Treatments consisted of various combinations of thresholds based on the percentage of dirty squares that were compared with the current threshold with a drop cloth or automatic weekly applications. Dirty squares were characterized as those with yellow staining on the developing bud resulting from tarnished plant bug excrement. Treatments consisted of 5, 10, 20, and 30% dirty squares. Each plot was sampled weekly, and insecticides were applied when the mean of all replications of a particular treatment reached the designated threshold. At the end of the season, plots were harvested and lint yields were recorded. Differences were observed in the number of applications and yields among the different treatments. The 10% dirty squares threshold resulted in a similar economic return compared with the drop cloth. A threshold of 10% dirty squares resulted in a similar number of insecticide applications, yields, and economic returns compared with that observed with the drop cloth. These results suggest that a threshold of 10% dirty squares could be used to trigger insecticide applications targeting tarnished plant bugs in flowering cotton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Adaptive properties of the bone-periodontal ligament-tooth complex have been identified by changing the magnitude of functional loads using small-scale animal models, such as rodents. Reported adaptive responses as a result of lower loads due to softer diet include decreased muscle development, change in structure-function relationship of the cranium, narrowed periodontal ligament space, and changes in the mineral level of the cortical bone and alveolar jaw bone and in the glycosaminoglycans of the alveolar bone. However, the adaptive role of the dynamic bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex to prolonged reduced loads has not been fully explained to date, especially with regard to concurrent adaptations of bone, periodontal ligament and cementum. Therefore, in the present study, using a rat model, the temporal effect of reduced functional loads on physical characteristics, such as morphology and mechanical properties and the mineral profiles of the bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex was investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two groups of 6-wk-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed nutritionally identical food with a stiffness range of 127-158 N/mm for hard pellet or 0.3-0.5 N/mm for soft powder forms. Spatio-temporal adaptation of the bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex was identified by mapping changes in the following: (i) periodontal ligament collagen orientation and birefringence using polarized light microscopy, bone and cementum adaptation using histochemistry, and bone and cementum morphology using micro-X-ray computed tomography; (ii) mineral profiles of the periodontal ligament-cementum and periodontal ligament-bone interfaces by X-ray attenuation; and (iii) microhardness of bone and cementum by microindentation of specimens at ages 6, 8, 12 and 15 wk. RESULTS Reduced functional loads over prolonged time resulted in the following adaptations: (i) altered periodontal ligament orientation and decreased periodontal ligament collagen birefringence, indicating decreased periodontal ligament turnover rate and decreased apical cementum resorption; (ii) a gradual increase in X-ray attenuation, owing to mineral differences, at the periodontal ligament-bone and periodontal ligament-cementum interfaces, without significant differences in the gradients for either group; (iii) significantly (p < 0.05) lower microhardness of alveolar bone (0.93 ± 0.16 GPa) and secondary cementum (0.803 ± 0.13 GPa) compared with the higher load group insert bone = (1.10 ± 0.17 and cementum = 0.940 ± 0.15 GPa, respectively) at 15 wk, indicating a temporal effect of loads on the local mineralization of bone and cementum. CONCLUSION Based on the results from this study, the effect of reduced functional loads for a prolonged time could differentially affect morphology, mechanical properties and mineral variations of the local load-bearing sites in the bone-periodontal ligament-cementum complex. These observed local changes in turn could help to explain the overall biomechanical function and adaptations of the tooth-bone joint. From a clinical translation perspective, our study provides an insight into modulation of load on the complex for improved tooth function during periodontal disease and/or orthodontic and prosthodontic treatments.

Abstract
Patients on systemic glucocorticoids for GVHD after hematopoietic cell transplant are susceptible to invasive fungal infections (IFI), which greatly contribute to morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the efficacy of prophylactic treatment options (voriconazole or fluconazole vs itraconazole) for IFI by performing a retrospective review of patients on glucocorticoids for GVHD who were administered voriconazole (n=97), fluconazole (n=36) or itraconazole (n=36). IFI developed in 7/72 (10%) patients on fluconazole/itraconazole vs 2/97 (2%) on voriconazole (P=0.03) within the first 100 days of glucocorticoids. Five (7%) patients developed Aspergillus IFI on fluconazole/itraconazole, compared with none on voriconazole (0%) (P=0.008); Aspergillus IFI resulted in death in all five patients. We found that IFI occurred in patients who received an initial dose of at least 2 mg/kg/day of prednisone or equivalent; when the analysis was restricted to these patients, the hazard ratio (0.39; 95% confidence interval: 0.08-1.86) was consistent with a protective effect of voriconazole compared with fluconazole/itraconazole, although this subset analysis did not reach significance. OS at 100 days after start of glucocorticoids was 77% in patients administered fluconazole/itraconazole and 85% in those administered voriconazole (P=0.22). Our results suggest that voriconazole is more effective than fluconazole/itraconazole in preventing IFI, especially aspergillosis, in patients receiving glucocorticoids post transplant.

Abstract
Since his first book The Cholera Years appeared in 1962, Charles Rosenberg has had an enormous influence on the history of medicine. Not the least of that influence has been exercised through his role as a graduate teacher, advisor, and mentor. This article compares Rosenberg's work with that of his students, to see if there is such a historiographic identity as the "Rosenberg School." The authors, two Rosenberg students from different generations, conclude that there is not such a school, at least in the classic sense of the term. Yet they argue that certain common assumptions, or "Rosenberg Rules," have been passed on from Rosenberg to the other scholars he has influenced. They also discuss the challenges they have encountered in applying Charles's conceptual framework, worked out primarily in pre-1920 terms, to the late twentieth-century history of American medicine.
