    Abstract There is a growing interest in the assessment of tangible skills and competence. Specifically, there is an increase in the offerings of competency-based assessments, and some academic institutions are offering college credits for individuals who can demonstrate adequate level of competency on such assessments. An increased interest has been placed on competency-based computer simulations that can assist learners to gain tangible skills. While computer simulations and competency-based projects, in general and particularly in management, have demonstrated great value, there are still limited empirical results on their benefits to e-learners. Thus, we have developed a quasi-experimental research, using a survey instrument on pre- and post-tests, to collect the set of 12 management skills from e-learners attending courses that included both competency-based computer simulations and those that didn’t. Our data included a total of 253 participants. Results show that all 12 management skills measures demonstrated very high reliability. Our results also indicate that all 12 skills of the competency-based computer simulations had higher increase than those that didn’t. Analyses on the mean increases indicated an overall statistically significant difference for six of the 12 management skills enhancements between the experimental and control groups. Our findings demonstrate that overall computer simulations and competency-based projects do provide added value in the context of e-learning when it comes to management skills.

    Abstract (1) Background: Immunoglobulin gamma subclass 4 (IgG4) is a serum protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It has a central role in certain immune-mediated conditions defined as IgG4-related disease. There is a paucity of data regarding the potential association of IgG4 and cardiovascular diseases. Our aim is to study the serum levels of IgG4 in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). (2) Methods: patients with ischemic and non-ischemic DCM were included in this study. Non-ischemic DCM was defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% without coronary artery disease (CAD). Ischemic DCM was defined as a LVEF < 40% and proven CAD. The serum concentrations of IgG4 were measured by turbidimetry. (3) Results: Overall 98 patients with cardiomyopathy had significantly higher levels of IgG4 compared with the control group (77.4 ± 64.0 vs. 50.3 ± 28.8 mg/dL, p < 0.01). Although there was no difference in the total IgG levels in patients with ischemic DCM, the serum concentrations of IgG4 were significantly higher than the corresponding values in the control group (89.8 ± 67.3 vs. 50.3 ± 28.8 mg/dL; interquartile ranges: 40.4–126.5 vs. 31.8–66.8 mg/dL, p < 0.01). This was altered by gender and smoking. (4) Conclusions: The patients with ischemic DCM had increased serum concentrations of IgG4. Future studies are warranted to explore the potential role of an IgG4-mediated process in patients with heart failure with reduced LVEF.

    Abstract The association between the clinical picture of symptomatic women with silicone breast implants (SBI) and dysregulated immunity was in dispute for decades. In the current study, we describe for the first time the functional activity of purified IgG antibodies derived from symptomatic women with SBIs (suffering from subjective/autonomic-related symptoms), both in vitro and in vivo. We found that IgGs, derived from symptomatic women with SBIs, dysregulate inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-6) in activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, compared to healthy-women-derived IgGs. Importantly, behavioral studies conducted following intracerebroventricular injection of IgGs derived from symptomatic women with SBIs (who have dysregulated circulating level of IgG autoantibodies directed against autonomic nervous system receptors) into mice brains demonstrated a specific and transient significant increment (about 60%) in the time spent at the center of the open field arena compared with mice injected with IgG from healthy women (without SBIs). This effect was accompanied with a strong trend of reduction of the locomotor activity of the SBI-IgG treated mice, indicating an overall apathic-like behavior. Our study is the first to show the potential pathogenic activity of IgG autoantibodies in symptomatic women with SBIs, emphasizing the importance of these antibodies in SBI-related illness.

    Abstract Anti-phospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by anti-phospholipid antibodies, arterial and venous thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and various neurological manifestations including psychiatric disorders. Higher incidence of various autoimmune disorders was found in schizophrenia. In addition, an association between the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies and schizophrenia or psychosis was previously described, mainly as case reports. Although initially believed to be a result of neuroleptic treatment, the reasons for this association remain obscure. Several theories on the etiologic basis of schizophrenia that may explain this association were proposed including an immune basis of schizophrenia and a genetic locus of the disease in the human leukocyte antigens area. Herein, we present a series of five patients diagnosed with both schizophrenia and anti-phospholipid syndrome and their characteristics along with a comprehensive review of the current available literature on the subject in an attempt to deepen our understanding of these disorders and their pathogenesis.
