Inside Out: Life of the Mind
2016
HERE'S HOW THE MIND WORKS, according to the film. The emotions are in control. Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust are depicted as people (with some famous voices), each with boldly coloured skin. They run the brain's Headquarters at a sort of central keyboard behind [Riley]'s eyes that seems to influence her when buttons are pressed and levers pulled. Joy is the dominant emotion, although the others influence Riley as well. Memories are formed and appear as balls that shoot in pneumatic tubes coming in and out of Riley's consciousness, eventually ending up in long-term memory, a place far away from Headquarters where the balls each appear the colour of the emotions that most influenced their formation. Although they usually control her, these two emotions are as naive about the rest of the mind as Riley herself. And they are not even in control any longer when they are lost in the maze that is long-term memory. They try to catch the \"train of thought\" back to Headquarters, but are stymied at every turn. They get separated from each other and even venture into the world of abstract thought where they suddenly appear as abstract animation à la Picasso, and then as two-dimensional animation, finally exclaiming desperately that they are no longer \"figurative.\" (After watching, my daughter pronounced that the movie was \"a serious one, not funny,\" which is understandable if equating abstract thought with cubist animation is as humorous as it gets.) The two lost emotions then go down some steps into the \"Subconscious,\" a place where the animated landscape resembles the hippocampus under an electron microscope. A main theme of the movie is that the emotion of sadness is important. At the beginning, it is clear that all the emotions play their parts in keeping Riley on the level. Fear keeps her safe by helping her avoid danger and reminding her to wear her seatbelt; Disgust keeps her healthy by helping her avoid certain foods - like broccoli; Anger makes sure things are fair for her. But Sadness? Sadness is mostly annoying throughout the movie and, in this, is portrayed well and realistically. In my clinical practice, family members often feel mainly frustrated with their depressed loved ones: \"Snap out of it!\" \"Stop ruining everything!\" But then it is this same tedious emotion that finally helps Riley express to her parents how she misses Minnesota, and it is Sadness that ultimately brings the family together again in a way that, for example, Anger cannot. When Riley displays anger, she is sent to her room and then runs away; when she displays sadness, the family members understand one another.

Depression is the most common mental disorder in pregnancy. An important risk factor in the development of prenatal depression is lifetime history of abuse. The current review quantitatively synthesized research on the association between history of abuse and prenatal depressive symptoms using a meta-analytic technique. A total of 3322 articles were identified through electronic searches of the following databases: PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL, and EMBASE Cochrane Collaboration databases between the years of 1980 and 2016. All were independently screened against the following inclusion criteria: articles reporting on original data that included measures of prenatal depression and abuse. Data were extracted by the first and second authors. Descriptive analyses were conducted using Excel version 15.32, and all analyses involving effect sizes were conducted using comprehensive meta-analysis (CMA) version 3.0. Seventy articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analyses. Meta-bias detected no publication bias. Abuse had a significant positive relation with prenatal depressive symptoms, with effect sizes in the moderate range for any abuse (r¯\\[ \\overline{r} \\] = 0.287), physical abuse (r¯\\[ \\overline{r} \\] = 0.271), sexual abuse (r¯\\[ \\overline{r} \\] = 0.259), and emotional abuse (r¯\\[ \\overline{r} \\] = 0.340; Cohen 1969. Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences. Academic Press, New York). The meta-analyses found a robust relation between abuse and prenatal depressive symptoms holding across a variety of demographic and study design characteristics. These results reinforce the established association between trauma victimization and subsequent psychopathology, extending current knowledge to specifically address the under-studied area of prenatal depression. These findings highlight the need for women who have survived child or adulthood abuse to receive appropriate referral and psychological treatment to mitigate their risk for prenatal depression.

Memories of the CN train station : The CN train station on James Street North has become an eyesore. Its windows are boarded up and its concrete is crumbling. And while there are hopes a new owner will fix up the building, Eric Prost writes it's sad to walk past the station today and think back to its glory days

The CN station is like a tall and dignified man in a well-cut suit who, even in old age and with frayed cuffs, can command respect because of his presence. But the CN station is a she just as ocean liners were referred to in the feminine (just go look at her and you'll agree), so I must not mix my similes. - THE BUYER: Richstate Homes Inc. of Ancaster is in the process of buying the station.The sale is subject to approvals to sever the station, and the land around it, from the CN-owned train tracks behind the building. The company is hoping to renovate the former station and construct stores and offices inside. Photo: Photo by Ted Brellisford, The Spectator The CN station on James Street North as it looks today.

Energetic dysfunction in sepsis: a narrative review
2021
BackgroundGrowing evidence associates organ dysfunction(s) with impaired metabolism in sepsis. Recent research has increased our understanding of the role of substrate utilization and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathophysiology of sepsis-related organ dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to present this evidence as a coherent whole and to highlight future research directions.Main textSepsis is characterized by systemic and organ-specific changes in metabolism. Alterations of oxygen consumption, increased levels of circulating substrates, impaired glucose and lipid oxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction are all associated with organ dysfunction and poor outcomes in both animal models and patients. The pathophysiological relevance of bioenergetics and metabolism in the specific examples of sepsis-related immunodeficiency, cerebral dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, acute kidney injury and diaphragmatic failure is also described.ConclusionsRecent understandings in substrate utilization and mitochondrial dysfunction may pave the way for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. These findings could help physicians to identify distinct subgroups of sepsis and to develop personalized treatment strategies. Implications for their use as bioenergetic targets to identify metabolism- and mitochondria-targeted treatments need to be evaluated in future studies.

TWO GROUPS SEEK TO SAVE BUSCH FROM DEMOLITION PRESERVATIONISTS SUPPORT LISTING THE STADIUM ON NATIONAL REGISTER
[Carolyn Toft] also said Busch, designed by noted architect Edward Durrell Stone with 96 arches, each repeating the curve of the nearby Gateway Arch, could be listed on the National Register even though it's only 35 years old. The similarly modern American Zinc Co. building was listed so that hotel developer Charles Drury could get state and federal historic tax credits to help incorporate it into his Drury Plaza Hotel, at Fourth and Market streets. Unlike the other group, led by the Rev. Larry Rice and state Rep. Jim Murphy, R-Crestwood, Toft doesn't believe the listing should be used as a threat to try to force the Cardinals to keep Busch. She said, in fact, that the listing wouldn't block demolition of Busch anyway if the Cardinals use only the state and local tax money they are seeking - and not federal money - to pay for roughly two-thirds of the cost of their $370 million, old-fashioned-style ballpark. Meanwhile, Murphy and Rice, head of the New Life Evangelistic Center, said in Jefferson City on Thursday that they're already at work trying to get Busch on the National Register to help keep it standing. Rice is opposed to using tax money to pay for a new ballpark.

[Mark Lamping] said the Cardinals have spent more than $200,000 on planning the design work for the new ballpark, Ballpark Village and an economic impact study. The study concludes, among other things, that the completed new ballpark and Ballpark Village combined would generate about three times as much economic activity as Busch generates today. (1) Color Graphic / Illustration - HELLMUTH, OBATA & KASSABAUM INC. Ballpark Village would contain about 410 apartments and condominiums; more than 400,000 square feet of office space; and 135,000 square feet of retail shops and restaurants. (2) Graphic / Illustration by HELLMUTH, OBATA & KASSABAUM INC. Cardinals owners have proposed a new stadium just south of the existing Busch Stadium.

\"We'd essentially have to demolish Busch section by section and reconstruct it on site,\" says HOK's Earl Santee. \"And in the end, it would look nothing like Busch looks today. We would have to change everything about it.\" Generally, you can expect to see a kind of inverted version of Busch in the new ballpark, with about 14,000 upper deck and second level seats moved to the field level. The new ballpark would have more expensive seats -- nearly 900 club seats going for at least $100 each compared with 281 at Busch. But it also would have more inexpensive bleacher seats. [Mark Lamping] insists that overall, the new ballpark would have more \"affordable\" seats than Busch, even though he says he doesn't have ticket prices yet. Lamping's latest numbers show a total of 48,800 seats at the new ballpark, compared with 49,738 at Busch. But the new ballpark total includes 1,000 low-cost \"festival\" seats that might not be in the ballpark. Lamping says they might end up on rooftops of a Ballpark Village development the Cardinals want private developers to build next to the new ballpark.

Insulin degludec is an ultra-long-acting insulin analogue that is increasingly being used in diabetes due to its favourable efficacy and safety profile. Thus, there is an increasing demand for a reliable and specific analytical method to quantify insulin degludec for research, pharmaceutical industry and clinical applications. We developed and validated an automated, high-throughput method for quantification of insulin degludec in human blood samples across the expected clinical range combining immunopurification with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Validation was performed according to the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration. The method satisfyingly met the following parameters: lower limit of quantification (120 pM), linearity, accuracy (error < 5%), precision (CV < 7.7%), selectivity, carry-over, recovery (89.7–97.2%), stability and performance in the presence of other insulin analogues. The method was successfully applied to clinical samples of patients treated with insulin degludec showing a good correlation with the administered dose (r2 = 0.78). High usability of the method is supported by the small specimen volume, automated sample processing and short analysis time. In conclusion, this reliable, easy-to-use and specific mass spectrometric insulin degludec assay offers great promise to address the current unmet need for standardized insulin analytics in academic and industrial research.
