\"Profitable trade set-ups from StockTwits leading traders. StockTwits has emerged as the leading stock market social community site, providing traders and investors with a vehicle to exchange ideas and receive real-time market insights. In The StockTwits Edge, contributors to this site, both well-known professional traders and lesser-known individual traders who have attracted a following on StockTwits, describe their most successful trade setups. Throughout the book, traders discuss why their chosen set-up works; which environments the set-up is most likely to produce profits; and how to identify the set-up as markets unfold. Reveals successful step ups through examples of a closed trade; explains the underlying logic behind the set-up; and delineates specific entry, exit, and risk management rules to each trade set-up. Besides stock set-ups, the book also includes set-ups relating to options and forex trades. Contains short bios for each trader/contributor and a general description of their trading philosophy. While there are many factors involved in successful trading and investing, the ability to identify profitable situations is paramount. This book will help you achieve that goal\"-- Provided by publisher.

Engendering Change: Organizational Dynamics and Workplace Gender Desegregation, 1975—2005
We examine workplace-level sources of gender inequality to explore the link between organizational change and levels of workplace gender integration over time. To do so, we analyze the gender division of labor and key structural aspects of U.S. private-sector work establishments, using longitudinal data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1975 to 2005. We find that women's presence in managerial positions is positively related to gender integration, as is both establishment size and growth. Additionally, the results show that trends toward gender integration are due to change within workplaces rather than new, relatively integrated workplaces entering the population over time. Our results also provide compelling evidence that the effect of female managers varies dramatically across organizational contexts, with the strongest desegregating effects in larger and growing establishments. Finally, the effect of women's access to organizational power structures has sharply diminished over time.

Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: Better Pain Control and Patient Outcomes with Liposomal Bupivacaine than Bupivacaine
Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks are a safe and effective way to provide immediate postoperative pain relief in surgical patients, and have been shown to decrease narcotic requirements. Concerns about complications of narcotics, increase in hospital length of stay (LOS), and health-care costs make this of particular interest. We compared standard bupivacaine TAP blocks with those carried out using liposomal bupivacaine to evaluate postoperative outcomes. Fifty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colectomy received laparoscopic liposomal bupivacaine TAP blocks using 80 cc of local anesthetic, and data were collected prospectively during hospitalization. Data collected included amount of narcotic medication used during hospitalization, number of days to ambulation, number of days to bowel function, and LOS. These patients were compared with the last 50 patients recruited to the control/bupivacaine TAP block arm of the study. The same data parameters were collected and all patients were on an enhanced recovery protocol, which included scheduled acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and gabapentin by mouth, as well as clear liquid diet starting on postoperative day zero. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t test and Fisher's exact test; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Patients treated with liposomal bupivacaine needed less narcotics (5.06 vs 18.75 mg, P = 0.0002), had earlier bowel function (1.7 vs 2.4 days, P = 0.0002), and shorter LOS (2.7 vs 3.4 days, P = 0.0146). Patients undergoing laparoscopic colon resections seem to require fewer narcotics and have better patient outcomes with liposomal bupivacaine TAP blocks. Based on our data, liposomal bupivacaine seems to be superior to bupivacaine for TAP blocks.

Combining Asian and European genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer improves risk prediction across racial and ethnic populations
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have great potential to guide precision colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention by identifying those at higher risk to undertake targeted screening. However, current PRS using European ancestry data have sub-optimal performance in non-European ancestry populations, limiting their utility among these populations. Towards addressing this deficiency, we expand PRS development for CRC by incorporating Asian ancestry data (21,731 cases; 47,444 controls) into European ancestry training datasets (78,473 cases; 107,143 controls). The AUC estimates (95% CI) of PRS are 0.63(0.62-0.64), 0.59(0.57-0.61), 0.62(0.60-0.63), and 0.65(0.63-0.66) in independent datasets including 1681-3651 cases and 8696-115,105 controls of Asian, Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White, respectively. They are significantly better than the European-centric PRS in all four major US racial and ethnic groups (
p
-values < 0.05). Further inclusion of non-European ancestry populations, especially Black/African American and Latinx/Hispanic, is needed to improve the risk prediction and enhance equity in applying PRS in clinical practice.
Most genetic studies have been done on European cohorts, which affects the efficacy of polygenic risk scores in non-European populations. Here, the authors demonstrate that a colorectal cancer PRS including Asian and European ancestries has improved performance over the European-centric PRS across racial and ethnic groups.

Prequel to a modern war UP CLOSE: Philip Hensher
The Mulberry Empire is published by Flamingo, $29.95. The story of an earlier battle for Afghanistan has a prophetic quality, writes Jonathan Pearlman. Philip Hensher is chief book reviewer for The Spectator, columnist at The Independent and Booker prize panellist. He is also the author of four novels. That leaves him delicately positioned to dictate the criteria by which his own work is judged.

Hydrofluoroalkane-134a Beclomethasone Dipropionate, 400 μg, Is as Effective as Chlorofluorocarbon Beclomethasone Dipropionate, 800 μg, for the Treatment of Moderate Asthma
The improved lung deposition of hydrofluoroalkane-134a beclomethasone dipropionate (HFA-BDP) extrafine aerosol compared with chlorofluorocarbon beclomethasone dipropionate (CFC-BDP) suggests that lower doses of HFA-BDP may be required to provide equivalent asthma control. The present study was undertaken to test this hypothesis.
A 10- to 12-day run-in period confirmed that patients met established criteria of at least moderate asthma and the asthma was inadequately controlled by current therapy (inhaled β-agonist and CFC-BDP [≤ 400 μg/d]). A short course of oral prednisone, 30 mg/d for 7 to 12 days, was followed to establish the patients were steroid responsive and to provide an“ in-study” baseline of “optimal” asthma control.
A total of 347 patients were then randomized to HFA-BDP 400 μg/d, CFC-BDP 800 μg/d, or HFA-placebo for 12 weeks.
Morning peak expiratory flow (am PEF) measurements showed that HFA-BDP 400 μg/d achieved equivalent control of asthma to CFC-BDP 800 μg/d at all time intervals after oral steroid treatment. All other efficacy variables supported the am PEF results and both active treatments were more effective than placebo. The safety profile of HFA-BDP compared favorably with that of CFC-BDP with no unexpected adverse events reported.
These findings demonstrate that HFA-BDP provides equivalent control of moderate or moderately severe asthma as CFC-BDP in the population studied, but at half the total daily dose.
