Conclusion: As expected, spirometry consistently allows to quantify a loss of pulmonary capacity in respiratory diseases. Sputum rheology offers a complementary marker of the patient condition with strong variations observed, at least for CF and COPD, which suggests its potential to monitor more finely the patient’s evolution.

Dynamics of pore fouling by colloidal particles at the particle level
Publication date: Available online 10 December 2018Source: Journal of Membrane ScienceAuthor(s): B. Dersoir, A.B. Schofield, M. Robert de Saint Vincent, H. TabuteauAbstractParticle filtration occurs whenever particles flow through porous media such as membrane. Progressive capture or deposition of particles inside porous structure often leads to complete, and generally unwanted, fouling of the pores. Previously there has been no experimental work that has determined the particle dynamics of such a process at the pore level, since imaging the particles individually within the pores remains a challenge. Here, we overcome thi...

Identifying Areas at Greatest Risk for Recent Zika Virus Importation — New York City, 2016
In this study, we used logistic regression15 to predict weekly nowcasts16 throughout the summer of 2016 of census tracts at greatest risk of recent ZIKV importation. Nowcast results were used to inform geographically targeted activities, including performing public education, enrolling additional healthcare facilities in a sentinel surveillance system for detecting local ZIKV transmission, interpreting syndromic surveillance signals suggesting possible ZIKV-like illness, and, when reviewed in conjunction with mosquito surveillance data, informing control of Aedes spp. mosquitoes and placement of traps for continued surveil...

Updated pharmacological management of rheumatoid arthritis for women before, during, and after pregnancy, reflecting recent guidelines
ConclusionsRA tends to improve during pregnancy and flare postpartum. Several anti-rheumatic medication options during pregnancy and breastfeeding are now available including anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents. Good disease control at all stages of reproduction is important to ensure best outcome for both mother and baby. (Source: Irish Journal of Medical Science)

Bartenders ’ and Rum Shopkeepers’ Knowledge of and Attitudes Toward “Problem Drinking” in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
The objectives of this study were to determine bar tenders’ and rum shopkeepers’ knowledge of and attitudes toward problem drinking and willingness to participate in server training. Researchers used convenience and purposive sampling to recruit 30 participants from Barraouile, Kingstown, and Calliaqua to participate in semi-structured interviews designed to explore study objectives. Res ults and conclusions were derived from grounded theory analysis. Heavy episodic drinking is common but not stigmatized. Heavy drinking is considered a “problem” if the customer attains a level of disinhibition causing drunken and ...
