Get PDFOn September 11, 2001, a network of terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing and injuring thousands of Americans, as the world watched in shock and disbelief
CRASH! – A Better Britain
Get PDFScott King ha sviluppato questo progetto come CRASH!, insieme a Matthew Worley, storico e scrittore, in occasione della Map Marathon alla Serpentine Gallery.
CRASH!, progetto ispirato nel nome al periodico Blast! di Wyndham Lewis e progettato per “move against the grain of existing cultural preoccupations”consiste in una serie di pubblicazioni e di attività che King e Worley hanno intrapreso dopo che il primo ha lasciato il lavoro di art director presso i-D Magazine, e principalmente in una rivista pubblicato in maniera indipendente – ne sono usciti tre numeri monografici: Death To The New, n.1 1997, Britstop, n.2 1997, Prada Meinhof, n.12 1999 – e in diversi lavori presentati all’interno di altre riviste commerciali, eventi, sticker e magliette. Tutta la grafica e l’art direction del progetto è stata seguita da King, mentre Worley ha lavorato sui testi, idee e concetti sono stati sviluppati insieme dal duo. Una mostra dedicata a questo progetto, il Corporatism & Complicity, è stato inoltre organizzata nel 1999 presso l’ICA di Londra.
A Better Britain è una serie di 12 progetti, pubblicata originariamente all’interno del programma per la Maps Marathon, fianco a fianco con le informazioni riguardanti l’evento. Ogni progetto è presentato attraverso un’immagine, realizzata da Scott King con un’estetica da collage povero, simile a una fotocopia, e un testo scritto da Matthew Worley per presentare un’idea, di volta in volta affrontando un tema specifico riguardante la Gran Bretagna contemporanea attraverso una proposta utopica/distopica e spesso satirica.Scott King developed this project as CRASH!, with historian and writer Matthew Worley, for the the Serpentine Map Marathon event.
CRASH!, named after Wyndham Lewis periodical Blast!and designed to “move against the grain of existing cultural preoccupations”consisted in a series of publications and activities the pair undertook after King left i-D Magazine, and consisted mainly in a self-published magazine – three monographic numbers came out: Death To The New, n.1 1997,Britstop, n.2 1997 and then Prada Meinhof, n.12 1999 – and in many works presented in other commercial magazines as well as events, stickers, T-shirts. All the graphic design and art direction was by King, while Worley worked on the texts; the ideas and concepts were developed together. An exhibition dedicated to this project, Corporatism & Complicity, was also organized at the ICA in London, 1999.
A Better Britain is a series of 12 projects, published inside what appeared to be the programme for the Maps Marathon and along with the informations about the event. Each project featured an image, designed by Scott King with a xerox, collage aesthetic, and a text written by Matthew Worley to present the idea, which always addressed with a utopian/dystopian and often satirical proposal a specific theme regarding contemporary Britain

Impact of an addiction medicine consult service on patients admitted to the hospital with injection drug use-associated infective endocarditis
Get PDFBackground: The addition of an addiction medicine consult service has been shown to improve mortality and decrease hospital costs but its impact on the proportion of patients discharged against medical advice (DAMA) and in-hospital initiation of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) has not been examined.
Methods: A retrospective before-after cohort study was performed at an urban, academic medical center between January 1, 2015 and November 1, 2019. We included adult patients with infective endocarditis and injection drug use determined by admitting diagnosis ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes or documentation within the history section of electronic health recordEHR. Our institution implemented a formal addiction medicine consult service on July 1, 2018. We determined the proportion of patients DAMA and the proportion of patients started on MOUD among patients in the pre-intervention (i.e. hospitalized before July 1, 2018) and intervention (i.e. hospitalized July 1, 2018 or after) groups.
Results: A total of 171 patients among hospitalized patients with injection drug use-associated infective endocarditis were included with 119 patients in the pre-intervention group and 52 patients in the intervention group. There was no statistically significant difference in patients DAMA [19% vs 15%, absolute risk difference 4.6% (95% confidence interval -8.6% to 17.7%)] between the intervention and pre-intervention groups. However, there was an increase in the proportion of inpatient MOUD initiation in the intervention group compared to the pre-intervention group [56% vs 21%, absolute risk difference 35% (95% confidence interval 19% to 50%)].
Conclusions: The initiation of an addiction medicine consult service was associated with a higher proportion of MOUD initiation but there was no statistically significant association with the proportion of patients DAMA
Finding Needles in Haystacks: The Use of Quantitative Proteomics for the Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer
Get PDFColorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and treatable disease if diagnosed early. Current population screening programs are suboptimal, and consequently, there is a need for the development of new methodologies for early diagnosis of CRC. In the past 10 years, unprecedented technological advancements in the field of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics have progressively increased the sophistication and utility of these investigations, leading to the draft mapping of the human proteome. These exciting studies have shaped our mechanistic understanding of the human genome and begun to provide us with a suite of novel biomarkers to predict the onset, progression and severity of many debilitating diseases. Thus, sophisticated MS workflows coupled with revolutionary protein quantification techniques hold promise for the field of MS-based plasma proteomics, particularly valuable in the context of early stage identification of curable CRC. However, within the last 40 years, no new plasma protein biomarkers of CRC have been translated into clinical practice. Here. we discuss the application of proteomic technologies within the field of CRC, highlighting contemporary MS-based plasma proteomic strategies that could be exploited to deliver on the promise of a panel of sensitive and specific plasma-based biomarkers with which to non-invasively detect early stage CRC
An extreme high temperature event in coastal East Antarctica associated with an atmospheric river and record summer downslope winds
Get PDFHigh surface temperatures are important in Antarctica because of their role in ice melt and sea level rise. We investigate a high temperature event in December 1989 that gave record temperatures in coastal East Antarctica between 60Âş and 100Âş E. The high temperatures were associated with a pool of warm lower tropospheric air with December temperature anomalies of >14Âş C that developed in two stages over the Amery Ice Shelf. Firstly, there was near-record poleward warm advection within an atmospheric river. Secondly, synoptically-driven downslope flow from the interior reached unprecedented December strength over a large area, leading to strong descent and further warming in the coastal region. The coastal easterly winds were unusually deep and strong, and the warm pool was advected westwards, giving a short period of high temperatures at coastal locations, including a surface temperature of 9.3ÂşC at Mawson, the second highest in its 66-year record
