    Abstract I remember being drawn, almost beyond my control, into a room that smelled of thick ink and well-seasoned wood; a place where large type drawers held tiny metal letters, and a background whir and whistle left me to believe something special was taking place. Various book-related elements — paper, ink, bindings, cover boards, woodblocks, and cutting utensils — were strewn about the room, and eye-catching examples of printed fonts and picture images were propped up against the baseboards. I had stumbled into the McGuffy Arts of the Book Center in downtown Charlottesville, and the hub of activity left me wishing I could extend my day trip.

  5. Article: Development of the fecal coliform total maximum daily load using Loading Simulation Program C++ and tidal prism model in estuarine shellfish growing areas: a case study in the Nassawadox coastal embayment, Virginia.

    Abstract In this study, a linked model system including the Loading Simulation Program C++ (LSPC) and the tidal prism water quality model (TPWQM) was proposed as an alternative tool for total maximum daily load (TMDL) studies. The feasibility of the model system was tested by a case study in the Nassawadox Creek, a Virginia tidal water shellfish growing area. The watershed model, driven by hourly precipitation, simulates hydrology and fecal coliform accumulation and transport processes in the watershed. The simulated surface runoff and subsurface flow as well as fecal coliform loads from the watershed are discharged to the tidal creek. The tidal prism model simulates fecal coliform transport in the Creek. The model results demonstrate the effectiveness in simulating hydrology and fecal coliform concentration in the watershed and its embayment. A series of sensitivity runs was conducted to estimate the load reduction necessary for fecal coliform concentration to meet the water quality standards. The model application to the Nassawadox Creek indicates that the model system is useful in developing fecal coliform TMDLs for estuarine shellfish growing areas.

    Abstract Dye-decolorizing peroxidases are heme peroxidases with a broad range of substrate specificity. Their physiological function is still largely unknown, but a role in the depolymerization of plant cell wall polymers has been widely proposed. Here, a new expression system for bacterial dye-decolorizing peroxidases as well as the activity with previously unexplored plant molecules are reported. The dye-decolorizing peroxidase from
    Importance: Peroxidases require correct incorporation of the heme cofactor for activity. Heterologous overproduction of peroxidases often results in an inactive enzyme due to insufficient heme synthesis by the host organism. Therefore, peroxidases are incubated with excess heme during or after purification to reconstitute activity.

    Abstract Purpose: Limited studies have described the utilization of cannabinoids among patients with cancer. This survey study aimed to characterize utilization patterns and perceptions of cannabinoid use for treatment-related side effects among patients receiving radiation treatment.
    Methods and materials: This was an anonymous survey study of patients who were undergoing or recently completed radiation treatment at a comprehensive cancer center. Data on cannabinoid use during cancer treatment, reasons for the use of cannabinoids, perceived effects of cannabinoids, and formulations of usage were collected and summarized using descriptive statistics.
    Results: Of the 431 respondents, 111 (25.8%) patients reported cannabinoid use since their cancer diagnosis. Among the cannabinoid users, a majority (73.9%) experienced improvement in symptoms; 38.7% had better relief of cancer-treatment symptoms from cannabinoids in comparison to their prescription medications, and 16.2% lowered the amount of prescription pain medications needed after using cannabinoids. Cannabinoids appeared to be most effective in helping patients manage sleep (76.6%) and anxiety (72.1%). When asked about whether physicians should be discussing cannabinoid use, 45.1% of cannabinoid users wanted to speak with their doctors regarding its utilization. For patients who did not report cannabinoid use, a large majority (83.1%) never had discussions with their doctors regarding its utilization as part of their cancer care, and 34.8% wanted to learn more about cannabinoids from their doctors.
    Conclusions: About 1 in 4 patients with cancer reported cannabinoid use to assist in symptom control. A majority had subjective alleviation of treatment-related symptoms from cannabinoid use. Regardless of cannabinoid use, a sizable percentage of patients never had any discussions about cannabinoids with their oncologists, with some expressing interest in learning more. Guidelines are needed to assist radiation oncologists on how cannabinoids may play a role in caring for patients.

    Abstract Critical metals of environmental and economic relevance can be found within complex mixtures, such as mine tailings, electronic waste and wastewater, at trace amounts. Specifically, gold is a critical metal that carries desired redox active properties in various applications, including modern electronics, medicine and chemical catalysis.

    Abstract We aimed to identify serum biomarkers that predict knee osteoarthritis (OA) before the appearance of radiographic abnormalities in a cohort of 200 women. As few as six serum peptides, corresponding to six proteins, reached AUC 77% probability to distinguish those who developed OA from age-matched individuals who did not develop OA up to 8 years later. Prediction based on these blood biomarkers was superior to traditional prediction based on age and BMI (AUC 51%) or knee pain (AUC 57%). These results identify a prolonged molecular derangement of joint tissue before the onset of radiographic OA abnormalities consistent with an unresolved acute phase response. Among all 24 protein biomarkers predicting incident knee OA, the majority (58%) also predicted knee OA progression, revealing the existence of a pathophysiological "OA continuum" based on considerable similarity in the molecular pathophysiology of the progression to incident OA and the progression of established OA.
