    Abstract Agricultural waste is an unwanted material that is not only unmarketable, but also has secondary costs such as environmental pollution. Oleaster, also known as olive Russian fruit, has various uses, but it also produces waste such as seeds and peels. Oleaster fruit and all its parts are tannin rich, which can be utilized as natural mordant. Improvement of fastness and color properties of natural dyed fibers is obtained by using mordant. The employing of this mordant is effective in reducing agricultural waste and the production of dyeing chemical waste. Reseda extract was utilized as natural dye to investigate the color characteristics. The study of the phenolic percentage of different components of the Oleaster fruit, including peel, seed, and flesh, showed that each of these materials can be used as natural mordant. The formation of physical bonds in the presence of all kinds of mordant was investigated using the FTIR method, and the results showed that their performance is similar and they are effective in surface treatment of wool. Investigation of color characteristics of the yarns showed that the color strength increases in the presence of mordant. Studying the fastness of yarns dyed with ISO methods showed that the samples have high washing fastness.

    Abstract The aim of the present research was to prepare new acid dyes based on naphthalimides. In this respect a series of monoazo acid dyes have been obtained using 4-amino-N-methyl (alternatively N-butyl)-1,8-naphthalimide, aniline and p-nitroaniline as diazo components. 2-Naphthol-6-sulfonic acid (Schaeffer’s acid) and 1-naphthol-8-amino-3,6-disulfonic acid (H-acid) were used as coupling components. The spectrophotometric properties of the synthesized dyes were investigated in various solvents and compared with analogues azobenzene dyes. It is found, when acid dyes are applied in various solvents and different pH, additional bathochromically shifted bands of different intensity appear in the electronic spectra. This effect is caused by the occurrence of the equilibrium of azo and hydrazone forms in the dyes. The synthesized acid dyes were applied on wool fabrics in order to consider their dyeing properties, fastnesses and the obtainable color gamut. The synthesized dyes represented that they have the ability of dyeing wool and polyamide fabrics and give red to violet hues with good wash, medium light, and good milling and perspiration fastnesses.

    Abstract Cryptococcus neoformans is associated with a spectrum of diseases including meningoencephalitis, pneumonia and soft tissue infections. Incidence is higher in immunocompromised hosts like HIV-infected individuals and solid organ transplant recipients. The influenza virus is known to cause immunologic defects. Additionally, the 2009-pandemic H1N1 virus is associated with increased incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring treatment with systemic steroids. The authors present the first case of cryptococcal meningitis in a patient with flu A-associated ARDS (FLAARDS). In this patient, risk factors for invasive fungal disease included a combination of severe and prolonged H1N1-influenza virus infection, corticosteroid therapy and broad-spectrum antibiotics. While prolonged corticosteroid use is a known risk factor for development of invasive fungal disease, the authors postulate that by causing immunologic defects and FLAARDS, the 2009-pandemic H1N1 virus may represent an additional independent risk for the development of C neoformans meningitis in a previously healthy individual.

    Abstract This study incorporates computational and laboratory experiments to determine specific interaction mechanisms between conjugated structures (interrupted and continuous conjugates) and selected polyaromatics hydrocarbons (PAH) stacks such as those found in oxidized asphaltene molecules. The theoretical results obtained by quantum-mechanical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations show that both continuous and interrupted conjugates are effective to weaken the π-intersheet forces and decrease the size of PAH nanoaggregates, with interrupted conjugates being more efficient than continuous conjugates to exfoliate PAH stacks. Owing to their limited partial entrance into the PAH stacks, interrupted conjugates are not trapped inside the PAH interlayer, and can easily detach from the stacks. This allows an interrupted conjugate not to be consumed in interaction with one PAH stack, making the interrupted conjugate available to affect many other stacks in the matrix. The higher exfoliation capacity of the interrupted aromatic conjugates is also evidenced in the results of our experiments based on UV–vis and rheometry analyses. This is reflected in a higher reduction in the polydispersity index and a higher increase in both the crossover frequency and crossover modulus of aged bitumen (containing stacks of large PAH referred to as asphaltene nanoaggregates) when it is doped with an interrupted conjugate (fluoranthene) compared to when it is doped with a continuous conjugate (pyrene). The study results contribute to the body of knowledge by providing an in-depth understanding of how variation in the π-electron distribution of conjugated structures affects their efficacy to exfoliated self-assembled stacked structures of polyaromatic hydrocarbons such as asphaltenes.

    Abstract Objective: To increase the frequency of communication of patient information between acute and primary care providers. A secondary objective was to determine whether higher rates of communication were associated with lower rates of hospital readmission 30 days after discharge.
    Methods: A validated instrument was used for telephone surveys before and after an intervention designed to increase the frequency of communication among acute care and primary care providers. The communication intervention was implemented in 3 adult intensive care units from 2 campuses of an academic medical center.
    Results: The frequency of communication among acute care and primary care providers, the perceived usefulness of the intervention, and its association with 30-day readmission rates were assessed for 202 adult intensive care episodes before and 100 episodes after a communication intervention. The frequency of documented communication increased significantly (5/202 or 2% before to 72/100 or 72% after the intervention; P < .001) and the communication was considered useful by every participating primary care provider. Rates of rehospitalization at 30 days were lower for the intervention group than the preintervention group, but the difference was not statistically significant (41/202 or 23% vs 16/88 or 18% of discharged patients; P = .45; power 0.112 at P = .05).
    Conclusions: The frequency of communication episodes that provide value can be increased through standardized processes. The key aspects of this effective intervention were setting the expectation that communication should occur, documenting when communication has occurred, and reviewing that documentation during multiprofessional rounds.

    Abstract An 82-year-old man known case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) presented with fever and weakness. He had never received any treatment for his CLL in the past. On admission he was found to be in mild respiratory distress with bilateral crackles and had markedly elevated white blood count (WBC) (137 K/uL with 93% lymphocytes). His respiratory status deteriorated necessitating non-invasive ventilatory support. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed bilateral diffuse ground glass opacities, so broad spectrum antibiotic therapy was initiated. Despite that, he remained febrile and cultures were all negative. Chest x-rays showed progressive worsening of diffuse alveolar opacities. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was negative for infectious etiologies, however flow cytometry of the fluid was consistent with CLL. Chemotherapy with chlorambucil was started. Although most of the pulmonary infiltrates in CLL patients are due to infectious causes, leukemic cells infiltration should be considered as well in CLL patients with respiratory symptoms who do not respond appropriately to standard antimicrobial regimen.

    Abstract Cocaine has been associated with known adverse effects on cardiac, cerebrovascular and pulmonary systems. However, the effect of cocaine on other organs has not been extensively reported. A middle age man presented with abdominal pain and nausea after inhalation of crack cocaine. On admission, he was found to be hypertensive and tachycardic. Physical examination revealed mild abdominal tenderness without rebound. Laboratory investigations were significant for acute kidney failure with elevated serum creatinine (3.72 mg/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelet count 74,000/UL), elevated alanine and aspartate transaminases (ALT 331 U/L; AST 462 U/L) and elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK 5885 U/L). Urine toxicology screening solely revealed cocaine. A clinical diagnosis of cocaine toxicity was made and patient was admitted to the intensive care unit because of multi organ failure. Despite downward trending of liver enzymes during the hospital course, he continued to have residual renal insufficiency and a low platelet count at the time of discharge. In a patient with history of recent cocaine use presenting with these manifestations, cocaine itself should be considered as a likely cause.

    Abstract Background: The factors that limit primary care providers (PCPs) from intervening for adults with evolving, acute, severe illness are less understood than the increasing frequency of management by acute care providers.
    Methods: Rates of prehospital patient management by a PCP and of communication with acute care teams were measured in a multicenter, cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted in all four of the adult medical ICUs of the three hospitals in central Massachusetts that provide tertiary care. Rates were measured for 390 critical care encounters, using a validated instrument to abstract the medical record and conduct telephone interviews.
    Results: PCPs implemented prehospital management for eight episodes of acute illness among 300 encounters. Infrequent prehospital management by PCPs was attributed to their lack of awareness of the patient's evolving acute illness. Only 21% of PCPs were aware of the acute illness before their patient was admitted to an ICU, and 33% were not aware that their patient was in an ICU. Rates of PCP involvement were not appreciably different among provider groups or by patient age, sex, insurance status, hospital, ICU, or ICU staffing model.
    Conclusions: We identified lack of PCP awareness of patients' acute illness and high rates of PCP referral to acute care providers as the most frequent barriers to prehospital management of evolving acute illness. These findings suggest that implementing processes that encourage early patient-PCP communication and increase rates of prehospital management of infections and acute exacerbations of chronic diseases could reduce use of acute care services.
