Effect of pressure on the magnetic, transport, and thermal-transport properties of the electron-doped manganite CaMnSbO
We have demonstrated the effect of hydrostatic pressure on magnetic and
transport properties, and thermal transport properties in electron-doped
manganites CaMnSbO. The substitution of Sb ion for
Mn site of the parent matrix causes one-electron doping with the
chemical formula CaMnMnSbO
accompanied by a monotonous increase in unit cell volume as a function of .
Upon increasing the doping level of Sb, the magnitudes of both electrical
resistivity and negative Seebeck coefficient are suppressed at high
temperatures, indicating the electron doping. Anomalous diamagnetic behaviors
at and 0.08 are clearly observed in field cooled dc magnetization. The
effect of hydrostatic pressure on dc magnetization is in contrast to the
chemical pressure effect due to Sb doping. The dynamical effect of ac magnetic
susceptibility measurement points to the formation of the magnetically
frustrated clusters such as FM clusters embedded in canted AFM matrix.Comment: 12 pages,11 figures, 3 table

Skeletal Metastasis in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Photon Deficiency on Bone Scintigraphy
Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-labeled phosphorous compound is an excellent technique for the detection of bone metastasis. Bone metastases are usually visualized as multiple hot spots on bone scintigraphy. However, photon deficiency in the metastatic lesion on bone scintigrams is reported in few cases with malignancy. In this study, we have evaluated the photopenic bone metastasis from renal cell carcinoma by the radiographic and computed tomographic examinations. Photon deficient metastatic lesions were seen on bone scintigraphy in 5 patients with renal cell carcinoma. All of the photon deficient lesions were osteolytic on bone radiography and computed tomography. The pure photon deficient lesions not associated with surrounding hot margins were seen on the thoracic vertebrae and rib and the ones with surrounding hot margins were seen on the sternum, pelvis and femur. This difference may be due to the differences in the growth rate of the tumor and reactive hyperemia and new bone formation in the metastatic lesions
BULGE-FORMING GALAXIES with AN EXTENDED ROTATING DISK at z ∼ 2
We present 0".2-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array
observations at 870 um for 25 Halpha-seleced star-forming galaxies (SFGs)
around the main-sequence at z=2.2-2.5. We detect significant 870 um continuum
emission in 16 (64%) of these SFGs. The high-resolution maps reveal that the
dust emission is mostly radiated from a single region close to the galaxy
center. Exploiting the visibility data taken over a wide distance range,
we measure the half-light radii of the rest-frame far-infrared emission for the
best sample of 12 massive galaxies with logM*>11. We find nine galaxies to be
associated with extremely compact dust emission with R_{1/2,870um}<1.5 kpc,
which is more than a factor of 2 smaller than their rest-optical sizes,
R_{1/2,1.6um}=3.2 kpc, and is comparable with optical sizes of massive
quiescent galaxies at similar redshifts. As they have an exponential disk with
Sersic index of n=1.2 in the rest-optical, they are likely to be in the
transition phase from extended disks to compact spheroids. Given their high
star formation rate surface densities within the central 1 kpc of Sigma
SFR1kpc=40 Msol/yr/kpc^2, the intense circumnuclear starbursts can rapidly
build up a central bulge with Sigma M*1kpc>1e10 Msol/kpc^2 in several hundred
Myr, i.e. by z~2. Moreover, ionized gas kinematics reveal that they are
rotation-supported with an angular momentum as large as that of typical SFGs at
z=1-3. Our results suggest bulges are commonly formed in extended rotating
disks by internal processes, not involving major mergers.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, accepted for publication in Ap
Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use in early acute respiratory distress syndrome : Insights from the LUNG SAFE study
Publisher Copyright: © 2020 The Author(s). Copyright: Copyright 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Background: Concerns exist regarding the prevalence and impact of unnecessary oxygen use in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We examined this issue in patients with ARDS enrolled in the Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE (LUNG SAFE) study. Methods: In this secondary analysis of the LUNG SAFE study, we wished to determine the prevalence and the outcomes associated with hyperoxemia on day 1, sustained hyperoxemia, and excessive oxygen use in patients with early ARDS. Patients who fulfilled criteria of ARDS on day 1 and day 2 of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure were categorized based on the presence of hyperoxemia (PaO2 > 100 mmHg) on day 1, sustained (i.e., present on day 1 and day 2) hyperoxemia, or excessive oxygen use (FIO2 ≥ 0.60 during hyperoxemia). Results: Of 2005 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 131 (6.5%) were hypoxemic (PaO2 < 55 mmHg), 607 (30%) had hyperoxemia on day 1, and 250 (12%) had sustained hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use occurred in 400 (66%) out of 607 patients with hyperoxemia. Excess FIO2 use decreased from day 1 to day 2 of ARDS, with most hyperoxemic patients on day 2 receiving relatively low FIO2. Multivariate analyses found no independent relationship between day 1 hyperoxemia, sustained hyperoxemia, or excess FIO2 use and adverse clinical outcomes. Mortality was 42% in patients with excess FIO2 use, compared to 39% in a propensity-matched sample of normoxemic (PaO2 55-100 mmHg) patients (P = 0.47). Conclusions: Hyperoxemia and excess oxygen use are both prevalent in early ARDS but are most often non-sustained. No relationship was found between hyperoxemia or excessive oxygen use and patient outcome in this cohort.
