Risk of hospitalization and death following prostate biopsy in Scotland
AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the risk of hospitalization and death following prostate biopsy.Study designRetrospective cohort study.MethodsOur study population comprised 10,285 patients with a record of first ever prostate biopsy between 2009 and 2013 on computerized acute hospital discharge or outpatient records covering Scotland. Using the general population as a comparison group, expected numbers of admissions/deaths were derived by applying age-, sex-, deprivation category-, and calendar year-specific rates of hospital admissions/deaths to the study population. Indirectly standardized hospital admission ratios (SHRs) and mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated by dividing the observed numbers of admissions/deaths by expected numbers.ResultsCompared with background rates, patients were more likely to be admitted to hospital within 30 days (SHR 2.7; 95% confidence interval 2.4, 2.9) and 120 days (SHR 4.0; 3.8, 4.1) of biopsy. Patients with prior co-morbidity had higher SHRs. The risk of death within 30 days of biopsy was not increased significantly (SMR 1.6; 0.9, 2.7), but within 120 days, the risk of death was significantly higher than expected (SMR 1.9; 1.5, 2.4). The risk of death increased with age and tended to be higher among patients with prior co-morbidity. Overall risks of hospitalization and of death up to 120 days were increased both in men diagnosed and those not diagnosed with prostate cancer.ConclusionsHigher rates of adverse events in older patients and patients with prior co-morbidity emphasizes the need for careful patient selection for prostate biopsy and justifies ongoing efforts to minimize the risk of complications
Interannual variability in Transpolar Drift summer sea ice thickness and potential impact of Atlantification
Changes in Arctic sea ice thickness are the result of complex interactions of the dynamic and variable ice cover with atmosphere and ocean. Most of the sea ice exiting the Arctic Ocean does so through Fram Strait, which is why long-term measurements of ice thickness at the end of the Transpolar Drift provide insight into the integrated signals of thermodynamic and dynamic influences along the pathways of Arctic sea ice. We present an updated summer (July–August) time series of extensive ice thickness surveys carried out at the end of the Transpolar Drift between 2001 and 2020. Overall, we see a more than 20 % thinning of modal ice thickness since 2001. A comparison of this time series with first preliminary results from the international Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) shows that the modal summer thickness of the MOSAiC floe and its wider vicinity are consistent with measurements from previous years at the end of the Transpolar Drift. By combining this unique time series with the Lagrangian sea ice tracking tool, ICETrack, and a simple thermodynamic sea ice growth model, we link the observed interannual ice thickness variability north of Fram Strait to increased drift speeds along the Transpolar Drift and the consequential variations in sea ice age. We also show that the increased influence of upward-directed ocean heat flux in the eastern marginal ice zones, termed Atlantification, is not only responsible for sea ice thinning in and around the Laptev Sea but also that the induced thickness anomalies persist beyond the Russian shelves and are potentially still measurable at the end of the Transpolar Drift after more than a year. With a tendency towards an even faster Transpolar Drift, winter sea ice growth will have less time to compensate for the impact processes, such as Atlantification, have on sea ice thickness in the eastern marginal ice zone, which will increasingly be felt in other parts of the sea-ice-covered Arctic
TRANSFORMATION OF TEMPORARY PROSPECT OF A STUDENT IN THE COURSE OF TRAINING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION
The empirical basis of the article - results of research of transformation of temporary prospect of students of the Siberian state medical university, indicating their professional formation in the conditions of higher school training. The majority of motivational aspirations of students are sent to the future, reflect their social prospect - the purposes and intentions. Dynamics in the content of motivational objects in the temporary prospect, indicating system complication of consciousness of students is revealed
Tab.1: Location, morphometric parameters, and classification of studied lakes
This study investigates a variety of lakes of different origin in the Siberian Lena River delta for lake hydrological, hydrochemical, and morpho- metric characteristics. The results are based on in-situ field measurements and subsequent water sample analyses. Significant differences between the characteristics of polygonal ponds, thermokarst and oxbow lakes, and lakes influenced by sea-water are revealed. The differences in hydrochemical char- acteristics are explained by differences in the lakes' specific locations and relief settings, hydrological regimes, and origins
Colored dissolved organic matter (cDOM) absorption measurements in Antarctic lakes
The datasets present measurements of cDOM absorption of lakes located in Antarctic oasis during the summer periods from 2013 to 2016.
In summer season of 2013 water samples were collected on Fildes Peninsula (King George Island, West Antarctica) - Bellingshausen Station, Russia. Investigated lakes on Fides Peninsula were completely or partly free from ice cover during water sampling. In summer seasons of 2014-2016 water samples were collected on Vestfold Hills, Reuer Island and Larsemann Hills Oasis (East Antarctica) - Progress station, Russia. During 2014-2016 summer season part of lakes on Larsemann Hills Oasis were free from ice cover, some of the lakes were completely covered by ice and were drilled before sampling. Part of the water samples from Progress Station (2015) has not been filtered.
cDOM is operationally defined by the chosen filter pore size. Samples have been consistently filtrated through 0.7 µm pore size glas fibre filters. cDOM filtrates have been stored in darkness and have been measured after the expedition using the dual-beam Specord200 laboratory spectrometer (Jena Analytik) at the Otto Schmidt Laboratory OSL, Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia. The OSL cDOM protocol (Heim and Roessler, 2016) prescribes 3 Absorbance (A) measurements per sample from UV to 750 nm against ultra-pure water. The absorption coefficient, a, is calculated by a = 2.303A/L, where L is the pathlength of the cuvette [m], and the factor 2.303 converts log10 to loge. The output of the calculation is a continuous spectrum of a. The cDOM a spectra are used to determine the exponential slope value for specific wavelength ranges, S by fitting the data between min and max wavelength to an exponential function.
We provide cDOM absorption coefficients for the wavelengths 254, 260, 350, 375, 400, 412, 440, 443 nm [1/m] and Slope values for three different UV, VIS, wavelength ranges: 275 to 295 nm, 350 to 400 nm, 300 to 500 nm [1/nm].
All data were carried out by scientists from Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute and Saint Petersburg State University of Russia during Russian Antarctic Expedition in 2013-2016
