The “Top-Down” Approach to the Evaluation of Children with Febrile Urinary Tract Infection
The evaluation of children presenting with urinary tract infection (UTI) has long entailed sonography and cystography to identify all urological abnormalities that might contribute to morbidity. The identification of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has been of primary concern since retrospective studies from the 1930s to 1960s established a strong association between VUR, recurrent UTI, and renal cortical scarring. It has been proposed that all VUR carries a risk for renal scarring and, therefore, all VUR should be identified and treated. We will not discuss the controversies surrounding VUR treatment in this review focusing instead on a new paradigm for the evaluation of the child with UTI that is predicated on identifying those at risk for scarring who are most deserving of further evaluation by cystography
Experimental study of R1234yf as a drop-in replacement for R134a in a domestic refrigerator
This paper presents an experimental study for three identical domestic refrigerators using R1234yf as a drop-in replacement for R134a. An alternative methodology was proposed to estimate the optimal mass charge for R1234yf; with the use of such methodology, new evidences were sought on the thermal behavior of the refrigerator compartments as well as at the heat exchangers. Additionally, energy performance for both refrigerants was measured, and, finally, a TEWI analysis was conducted. For the type of refrigerator evaluated, results showed that R1234yf presented an average (for the 3 refrigerators) of 0.4 °C for the fresh food compartment, and 1.2 °C for the freezer, among different charges with respect to R134a. The optimal charge for R1234yf was 92.2 g, which is about 7.8% lower than the one for R134a, which represents a small increase of 4% in energy consumption in comparison to R134a. Finally, the TEWI analysis for the R1234yf was 1.07% higher than the R134a.We thank Universidad de Guanajuato for the support in the realization of this research. We also want to thank the Company Honeywell (through Marco García) for the donation of the refrigerant R1234yf, and to acknowledge the support of Mabe TyP in the performing of the tests. The authors wish to thank to Montoro Sanjosé Carlos Rubín for their support in the editing of the English-language version of this paper
An Econometric Analysis of the Impact of Technology on the Work Lives of Truck Drivers
We investigate the relationship between technology and drivers’ work lives using data from the UMTIP Driver Survey.
Focusing first on which types of drivers are more likely to use satellite technology, we find that drivers in private carriage, union drivers, and those paid by the hour or as percent of revenue are least likely to drive trucks equipped with SBS. The largest firms are most likely to equip their trucks with SBS, providing some evidence of scale effects of this technology. There is also evidence that SBS technology is used as a substitute for experience.
Examining the impact of satellite technology on worker outcomes, we find that SBS does more than simply lower drivers’ pay. Consistent with the skill-bias hypothesis, drivers who use satellite systems may be paid less per mile. In contrast, drivers on satellite-equipped trucks realize 17.6% higher annual earnings. The higher earnings are due to the increased mileage of such drivers, about 22,000 additional miles per year. Part of this mileage gain is explained by efficiencies provided by these systems, but drivers with satellites also work 14% more hours weekly. The increased hours would account for approximately 60 percent of the increase in mileage; the remaining 40 percent is associated with improved productivity and is captured entirely by the firm. The overall finding, that technology improves productivity and earnings but intensifies and lengthens the workday, is consistent with sociological studies of technology (Graham, 1995)
Treatment with Haemodiafiltration Stabilises Vascular Stiffness (Measured by Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity) Compared to Haemodialysis.
Background/Aims: Cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke are increased in dialysis patients, and haemodiafiltration has been reported to reduce cerebrovascular mortality compared to haemodialysis. We wished to determine whether haemodiafiltration improves arterial stiffness. Methods: We audited aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements 6 months apart in 3 cohorts of patients: 69 treated with haemodialysis, 78 who converted from haemodialysis to haemodiafiltration and 142 treated with haemodiafiltration. Results: Cohorts were well matched for age (means ± SD: haemodialysis 64 ± 15 years vs. haemodialysis to haemodiafiltration 64 ± 17 years vs. haemodiafiltration 67 ± 16 years), sex (male 65 vs. 59 vs. 63%), diabetes (45 vs. 56.4 vs. 44%) and body mass index (26 ± 6 vs. 26 ± 5 vs. 26 ± 5), respectively. Systolic blood pressure did not differ over time (haemodialysis 143 ± 25 vs. 146 ± 27 mm Hg, haemodialysis to haemodiafiltration 153 ± 26 vs. 154 ± 25 mm Hg, haemodiafiltration 149 ± 31 vs. 148 ± 30 mm Hg) or between groups. Aortic PWV significantly increased in the haemodialysis group (9.5 ± 1.9 vs. 10.2 ± 2.2 m/s, p < 0.01) and haemodialysis to haemodiafiltration group (9.4 ± 1.9 vs. 10.1 ± 2.2 m/s, p < 0.01), but did not change with haemodiafiltration (9.9 ± 2.1 vs. 10.1 ± 2.2 m/s). Conclusions: Aortic PWV, a measure of vascular stiffness, stabilised with haemodiafiltration. Our preliminary findings require further investigation to determine how haemodiafiltration may potentially improve vascular stiffness. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel
The effects of inspiratory muscle training in older adults
Purpose: Declining inspiratory muscle function and structure and systemic low-level inflammation and oxidative stress may contribute to morbidity and mortality during normal ageing. Therefore, we examined the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in older adults on inspiratory muscle function and structure and systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, and re-examined the reported positive effects of IMT on respiratory muscle strength, inspiratory muscle endurance, spirometry, exercise performance, physical activity levels (PAL) and quality of life (QoL). Methods: Thirty-four healthy older adults (68 ± 3 years) with normal spirometry, respiratory muscle strength and physical fitness were divided equally into a pressure-threshold IMT or sham-hypoxic placebo group. Before and after an 8 week intervention, measurements were taken for dynamic inspiratory muscle function and inspiratory muscle endurance using a weighted plunger pressure-threshold loading device, diaphragm thickness using B-mode ultrasonography, plasma cytokine concentrations using immunoassays, DNA damage levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using Comet Assays, spirometry, maximal mouth pressures, exercise performance using a six minute walk test, PAL using a questionnaire and accelerometry, and QoL using a questionnaire

A simple levitated-drop tensiometer
A reliable, simple, and affordable liquid tensiometer is presented in this paper. The instrument consists of 72 ultrasonic transmitters in a tractor beam configuration that levitates small liquid samples (droplets) in air. Under operation, the instrument imparts a pressure instability that causes the droplet to vibrate while still levitating. Droplet oscillations are then detected by a photodiode, and the signal is recorded by an oscilloscope. The frequency of these oscillations is obtained and then used to obtain the effective surface tension of the sample. The instrument operates at the millisecond scale time (t < 12.5 ms), with very small liquid volumes (∼0.5 μl), and the sample is recoverable after testing. The instrument has been experimentally validated with acetone, ethanol, Fluorinert FC-40, water, and whole milk
Framing or Gaming? Constructing a Study to Explore the Impact of Option Presentation on Consumers
The manner in which choice is framed influences individuals’ decision-making. This research examines the impact of different decision constructs on decision-making by focusing on the more problematic decision constructs: the un-selected and pre-selected optout. The study employs eye-tracking with cued retrospective think-aloud (RTA) to combine quantitative and qualitative data. Eye-tracking will determine how long a user focuses on a decision construct before taking action. Cued RTA where the user will be shown a playback of their interaction will be used to explore their attitudes towards a decision construct and identify problematic designs. This pilot begins the second of a three phase study, which ultimately aims to develop a research model containing the theoretical constructs along with hypothesized causal associations between the constructs to reveal the impact of measures such as decision construct type, default value type and question framing have on the perceived value of the website and loyalty intentions
