Abstract
Stroke survivors continue to face chronic disability and limited access to early, continuous, and long-term rehabilitation. This pilot study examined the impact of a 6-day, intensive, short-term, task-specific rehabilitation program (ISTRP) on outcomes post-stroke as part of a service-learning experience (SLE) for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. Participants (n=19) post-stroke completed a 6-day, student-led ISTRP. Outcome measures were used to assess balance, functional gait, upper extremity motor impairment, and self-reported recovery. Significant differences from pre- to post-intervention were found for all outcome measures (p<0.05) except for the Stroke-Impact Scale-16. This pilot study addresses a gap in literature and suggests an ISTRP should be further explored while integrating other allied health disciplines.

Abstract
Molecular qubits with the longest coherence times thus far are based on nuclear-spin-carrying central ions. These nuclear spins can cause quantum state leakage, which is detrimental to quantum algorithm performance. We present two novel molecular qubits based on potentially nuclear spin-free Ni in the formal oxidation state 3+. (d20-PPh4)[Ni(mnt)2] (Ni-mnt, mnt2- = maleonitrile-1,2-dithiolate) possesses a coherence time of up to 38.7 μs at 7 K. Functionalization of the dithiolate ligand decreases the coherence time by a factor of only four in (HNEt3)[Ni(dip)2] (Ni-dip, dip2- = 3-(diphenylphosphoryl)-methylbenzene-1,2-dithiolate), indicating that monoanionic Ni-dithiolene complexes are promising and robust building blocks for polynuclear molecular qubit gates.

Abstract
We report a pulsed EPR study on different transition metal phthalocyanines, elucidating the dependence of spin relaxation on solvent, ligand and metal ion. Coherence times of >40 µs and spin-lattice relaxation times of up to 2 s were found. Minimization of SOMO-environment overlap leads to increased coherence times.

Abstract
AIM This paper provides a systematic overview of the comorbidity of personality and addictive disorders including behavioural addictions. METHOD Systematic review. RESULTS Personality disorders and substance-related addictions show high comorbidity rates. This is equally true of behavioural addictions. Most empirical research is on comorbidity with borderline personality disorder. For treatment of individuals with dual diagnoses, three psychotherapies have been demonstrated to be effective. Pharmacotherapeutic approaches have hardly been investigated. CONCLUSION METHODologically integrative treatment represents therapy of choice for patients with dual diagnoses. Comorbidity of personality disorders and behavioural addictions needs further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulse wave velocity is a measure of aortic stiffness and an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Adiponectin is involved in atherosclerosis and inflammation. In the present study we aimed to explore the association between plasma adiponectin concentrations and pulse wave velocity in the acute phase after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS Forty-six consecutive STEMI patients (mean age 57 ± 11 years) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Plasma adiponectin was measured 2 days after index event by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) was calculated by the transit-time method with the use of a velocity-encoded, phase-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance protocol. RESULTS Median plasma adiponectin concentration was 2385 ng/ml (interquartile range 1735-5403). Males had lower plasma adiponectin values than females and current smokers had lower values than non-smokers (all p<0.02). Adiponectin was significantly associated with PWV (r=0.505, p<0.001), age (r=0.437, p=0.002), and total cholesterol (r=0.468, p=0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed adiponectin as a predictor of PWV independently of age, sex, smoking status, total cholesterol, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (p=0.027). CONCLUSIONS Plasma adiponectin concentrations are strongly associated with aortic stiffness in patients after acute STEMI treated with primary PCI. Our data support a possible role for adiponectin as an independent risk marker for increased aortic stiffness in STEMI patients.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the response rate and toxicity of paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab (PCB) primary induction therapy for the treatment of advanced-stage ovarian carcinoma. Twenty patients were treated with paclitaxel (175 mg/m(2)), carboplatin (AUC of 5 IV), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) of body weight; q21 days for six cycles. Bevacizumab was administered at cycles two through six. Patients received 116 cycles of PCB chemotherapy (median = 6, range 2-6) and were evaluable for toxicity assessment. Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia developed in 23.3% and 25% of cycles, with no incidence of grades 3/4 thrombocytopenia or anemia. Prior to cycle six, one patient was removed from the study due to grade 3 neuropathy and another patient was excluded due to clinical deterioration. There was no incidence of gastrointestinal perforations, and only two patients demonstrated grade 3 hypertension (HTN). No grade 4 HTN was observed. Eighteen patients were evaluated for response following induction therapy. Six demonstrated a complete response (30%) and ten exhibited a partial response (50%), resulting in a total response rate of 80%. One patient exhibited stable disease (5%), and one demonstrated disease progression (5%). The lack of bowel perforations and wound complications should mitigate some concerns regarding these side effects. This study suggests that first-line treatment with PCB can be safely administered to previously untreated advanced-stage ovarian carcinoma patients. The favorable toxicity results and reasonable response rate warrant additional study in a larger patient population.

Abstract
A detailed analysis of various factors that influence the accuracy of time-resolved laser-induced incandescence for the determination of primary soot particles is given. As the technique relies on the measurement of the signal ratio at two detection times of the enhanced thermal radiation after an intense laser pulse, guidelines are presented for a suitable choice of detection times to minimize statistical uncertainty. An error analysis is presented for the issues of laser energy absorption, vaporization, heat conduction, and signal detection. Results are shown for a laminar ethene diffusion flame that demonstrate that concurring results are obtained for various laser irradiances, detection characteristics, and times of observation.

Abstract
Within the framework of an extensive research programme, the socio-economic and environmental conditions which influence the emergence of soil-borne diseases in north-eastern Mexico were analysed. Furthermore, specimens collected from carcasses in the field were bacteriologically examined and the causal organisms of soil-borne diseases differentiated by means of gas chromatographic analysis of their metabolic products and the long-chained fatty acids contained in the cell. With experimental clostridial vaccines prepared with the Goettingen Bioreactor Technique, trials to protect cattle and guinea-pigs against gas gangrene were carried out. It was found that the farm structure and the dry climate as well as the specific soil conditions and plant cover favour the emergence of soil-borne diseases. Causal organisms B. anthracis, C. perfringens, C. sordellii, C. haemolyticum, C. chauvoei/septicum, C. novyi A, C. botulinum and site-specific field strains of clostridia were detected. Experimental site-specific vaccines proved to be highly efficient in protecting cattle and guinea pigs.

Abstract
The reliability of a patient's history has been challenged in the preoperative evaluation of stress urinary incontinence. In this study, 122 consecutive patients referred to our Gynecology/Urology clinic were evaluated and an additional 32 control patients (continent women with no urinary symptoms) were evaluated. All patients answered a detailed 64-item questionnaire, and all patients received a complete urodynamic evaluation. Our detailed questionnaire provided a mean positive predictive value of 80% for genuine stress incontinence and 25% for detrusor instability. The conditions leading to a false positive history suggestive of genuine stress incontinence were detrusor instability and urethral diverticulum. The conditions leading to a false positive history suggestive of detrusor instability were urethritis, unstable urethra, vaginitis and polyuria. History alone can be misleading in diagnosing urinary incontinence.

Abstract
We analyzed the stability of the enzymes alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3), gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) of a human serum pool during storage in liquid nitrogen for a period of 10 months. Except amylase and creatine kinase, all enzymes were stable. Amylase increased in activity, creatine kinase activity decreased. Therefore, human serum stored at -196 degrees C can be used as satisfactory substitute for lyophilized enzyme control serum in internal quality control and stable enzyme material for optimization of methods.
