Polysaccharide-specific memory B-cells predict protection against experimental human 1 pneumococcal carriage

RATIONALE: We have previously demonstrated that experimental pneumococcal carriage enhances immunity and protects healthy adults against carriage reacquisition following re-challenge with homologous strain. Here we have used a heterologous challenge model to investigate the role of naturally acquired pneumococcal protein and polysaccharide (PS)-specific immunity in protection against carriage acquisition. METHODS: We identified healthy volunteers that were naturally colonised with pneumococcus and, following clearance of their natural carriage episode, challenged them with a heterologous 6B strain. In another cohort of volunteers we assessed 6BPS-specific, PspA-specific and PspC-specific IgG and IgA plasma and memory B-cell populations prior to and 7, 14 and 35 days following experimental pneumococcal inoculation. RESULTS: Heterologous challenge with 6B resulted in 50% carriage among volunteers with previous natural pneumococcal carriage. Protection from carriage was associated with a high number of circulating 6BPS IgG-secreting memory B-cells at baseline. There were no associations between protection from carriage and baseline levels of 6BPS IgG in serum or nasal wash, PspA-specific or PspC-specific memory B-cells or plasma cells. In volunteers who did not develop carriage, the number of circulating 6BPS memory B-cells decreased and the number of 6BPS plasma cells 7 days post inoculation. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that naturally acquired polysaccharide-specific memory B-cells, but not levels of circulating IgG at time of pneumococcal exposure, are associated with protection against carriage acquisition

The Development of Student Conceptions of the Earth-Sun Relationship in an Inquiry-Based Curriculum

This investigation examined conceptual change in three fifth-grade students as they participated in a curriculum on Earth's surface temperature. Data were collected via individual interviews and classroom observations and interactions, and were analyzed by comparing the students' thinking at various points before, during and after the unit. Throughout the study, the students exhibited misconceptions identified in current literature as well as novel misconceptions of their own. Although the curriculum was found to be partially effective, the students retained some misconceptions with which they began the study, revealing that conceptual understanding may be more fragmentary than theory-like, and that the depth of one's prior knowledge affects how readily new knowledge is constructed. Educational levels: Graduate or professional

Adaptive Digital Scan Variable Pixels

The square and rectangular shape of the pixels in the digital images for sensing and display purposes introduces several inaccuracies in the representation of digital images. The major disadvantage of square pixel shapes is the inability to accurately capture and display the details in the objects having variable orientations to edges, shapes and regions. This effect can be observed by the inaccurate representation of diagonal edges in low resolution square pixel images. This paper explores a less investigated idea of using variable shaped pixels for improving visual quality of image scans without increasing the square pixel resolution. The proposed adaptive filtering technique reports an improvement in image PSNR.Comment: 4th International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics, August, 201

Akuutin vatsakipuisen potilaan tutkiminen päivystyspoliklinikalla : opetusvideo

Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli lisätä hoitotyön opiskelijoiden osaamista akuutin vatsakipuisen potilaan tutkimisessa päivystyspoliklinikalla. Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli tuottaa Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulun käyttöön opetusvideo, jonka aiheena oli akuutin vatsakipuisen potilaan tutkiminen päivystyspoliklinikalla. Opinnäytetyön tehtävänä oli selvittää, mitä akuutti vatsakipu on, kuinka potilasta haastatellaan ja tutkitaan sekä miten hoitaja voi tunnistaa kiireellisintä hoitoa vaativat potilaat. Toiminnallisessa opinnäytetyössä yhdistyivät kirjallinen teoriatieto ja toiminnallinen työ opetusvideon muodossa. Akuutti vatsa on tila, jossa potilaalla on uutena oireena ilmenevää ja tuntemattomasta syystä johtuvaa voimakasta kipua vatsan alueella. Potilaan haastattelua ja tutkimista ohjaavat ABCDE -menetelmä sekä kipuanalyysi. Vatsan palpointi sekä suoliäänten auskultointi ovat osa potilaan tutkimista päivystyspoliklinikalla. Erityistä huomiota kiinnitettiin vaaran merkkeihin potilaan tilassa, ja siihen että hoitaja kykenisi erottamaan kiireellistä hoitoa vaativat potilaat. Potilaalla tulisi epäillä vakavaa vatsaongelmaa, jos tämän yleistila on silmämääräisesti huomattavasti alentunut. Opinnäytetyö antaa valmiuksia haastatella ja tutkia akuutista vatsasta kärsivää potilasta. Opetusvideo havainnollistaa potilaan tutkimista prosessina, ja antaa mallin potilaiden haastattelua ja tutkimista varten. Jatkotutkimuksena esitetään toiminnallista opinnäytetyötä jollekin terveydenhuoltoalan toimintayksikölle. Aiheena olisi check list -tyyppinen muistilista ja toimintaohje akuutin vatsakipuisen potilaan tutkimiseen tai opetusvideo akuutin vatsakipuisen potilaan ensihoidosta.Aim of this thesis was to produce a video which gives tools and knowledge for nursing students to assess patients with acute abdominal pain. This was a practise-based thesis ordered by Tampere University of Applied Sciences. Main goals for this thesis was to clarify what is acute abdominal pain, how to examine patients and how nurses can identify those patients in need of most urgent medical care. Acute abdominal pain can be defined as a medical emergency which includes sudden onset of intense pain in the abdomen that patient hasn’t felt before. Acute abdominal pain is a challenging clinical problem and therefore clear guidelines gives healthcare professionals’ best chances to identify a patient with acute abdominal pain. Commonly used ABCDE-assessment structure was used as a base for this thesis. Theory for this thesis was collected by small scale literature review. Many causes behind acute abdominal pain can be harmless but there is a possibility for life-threatening abdominal catastrophe. Therefore, it is vitally important for nurses to possess skills to find those patients in need of urgent medical care among vast number of patients. The product of this thesis was a learning video. The video can be used in training of nurses in conjunction with traditional lectures
