Osteoclast-independent osteocyte dendrite defects in mice bearing the osteogenesis imperfecta-causing Sp7 R342C mutation by Jialiang S. Wang, Katelyn Strauss, Caroline Houghton, Numa Islam, Sung-Hee Yoon, Tatsuya Kobayashi, Daniel J. Brooks, Mary L. Bouxsein, Yingshe Zhao, Cristal S. Yee, Tamara N. Alliston, Marc N. Wein

“…Remarkably, these defects in osteocyte function contrast to only mild changes in mature osteoblast function, suggesting that this Sp7 mutation selectively interferes with the function of Sp7 in osteocytes and mature osteoblasts, but not during early stages of osteoblast differentiation. …”

Creative Design as Research The Application of Practice Base Research in Designing the Logo of Didar Gallery of Isfahan by Rasool Kamali Dolat Abadi

“…In this research design, the author has used four cognitive fields: "Graphics and Sign Design", "Process Design and Triz's Theory of Creativity" (The four basic pillars of Triz: “Contrast”, “Ideality”, “Function” and “Resources”; The eight principles of Triz: “Consolidation”, “Nesting”, “Prior Action”, “Periodic Action”, “Mediator”, “Replacement of Mechanical Systems”, “Homogeneity” & “Phase Transition”), "Contemporary Art and Galleries" (Applying seven features of Contemporary Art: “innovation and experimentation” in the unconventional design process, “using Multimedia as a new tool” in logo design, “conceptual-critical and questioning approach” which has deconstructive features, “process oriented design”, “Multiplicity of meaning”, “Multidisciplinary approach in sound engineering and image engineering” and “Social action and interactivity” through collaboration with different people for sign design) and "Structuralist & Post-Structuralist Philosophy" (Concepts such as “the metaphysics of presence”, “the priority of speech (parole) over writing (language)”, “endless chain of significations” ,“the trace of meaning”, “the Play of presence and absence”, “deferral of meaning”, “difference”).In designing the final logo of Didar Gallery, the designer paid attention to the histogram of the recorded sound of saying the word Didar, instead of a purely written or visual approach, taking into account selected theoretical principles in the four cognitive fields and while visualizing the sound, he redesigned the letters with deformation in its geometry.As a result, in the final design, the designer has increased the creative and thoughtful aspect of the logo by making changes in the design tools and design approach, and by deepening the design -by finding ideas from philosophical propositions (especially Derrida's deconstruction)- to the extent that the gallery logo, in addition to the status of its functionality can be considered as an artwork.…”

GENERATION AND COLLECTION OF TOBACCO AEROSOL FOR SHISHA by N. N. Bubnova, M. V. Shkidyuk

“…Qualitative characteristics of tobacco aerosol for shisha are determined by the functional purpose and depend on the component composition of the tobacco mixture and the coal used.The purpose of the research is to develop a methodology for the comprehensive assessment of tobacco for shisha based on modern methods of product quality control and includes the following steps:- monitoring of the studies to determine the component composition of the hookah mixture and the aerosol produced;- analysis of hookah mixture testing modes and development of an aerosol generation protocol;- development of a method for collecting aerosol on a laboratory smoking machine; - quantitative analysis of toxic analytes by HPLC MS / MS method.Methods have been developed for the machine generation and collection of tobacco aerosol for hookah, taking into account low concentrations of the analyzed toxic substances.The expediency of using the HPLC MS / MS method to determine the quantity of the following substances in tobacco aerosol for shisha has been substantiated:- carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein) by detection on an electrospray source in the negative polarity mode- tobacco specific nitrosoamines (NNN and NNK) by detection on an electrospray source in the positive polarity mode.During the research laboratory and analytical equipment was used: a five-channel linear CERULEAN SM 405 smoking machine; Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 liquid chromatograph and TSQ Quantiva mass spectrometer.Obtaining experimental data on the quantitative determination of the component composition of the aerosol produced by tobacco for shisha using hookah systems is relevant for assessing toxic characteristics of the product.…”

Improving the understanding and interpretation of myeloma screening among resident doctors and physician associates: a quality improvement project by Mahmoud Gouda, Hannah Hunter

“…For instance, several tests were incorrectly included, such as C-reactive protein, chosen by 17 out of 34 (50%) respondees; 11 out of 34 (32.4%) selected a skeletal survey, and 11 out of 34 (32.4%) chose liver function tests.The BSH guidelines recommend serum free light chains rather than urinary Bence-Jones proteins to test for monoclonal light chains.2 Despite this, most respondents (94.1%) selected urinary Bence-Jones proteins as part of the myeloma panel.The results also revealed a lack of confidence among participants in interpreting myeloma screen results (Fig 2). …”
