AbstractObservations of artificial earth satellites provide a means of establishing an.origin, orientation, scale and control points for a coordinate system. Neither existing data nor future data are likely to provide significant information on the .001 angle between the axis of angular momentum and axis of rotation. Existing data have provided data to about .01 accuracy on the pole position and to possibly a meter on the origin of the system and for control points. The longitude origin is essentially arbitrary. While these accuracies permit acquisition of useful data on tides and polar motion through dynamio analyses, they are inadequate for determination of crustal motion or significant improvement in polar motion. The limitations arise from gravity, drag and radiation forces on the satellites as well as from instrument errors. Improvements in laser equipment and the launch of the dense LAGEOS satellite in an orbit high enough to suppress significant gravity and drag errors will permit determination of crustal motion and more accurate, higher frequency, polar motion. However, the reference frame for the results is likely to be an average reference frame defined by the observing stations, resulting in significant corrections to be determined for effects of changes in station configuration and data losses.

Abstract Purpose The processes for formulary implementation and electronic health record (EHR) integration of biosimilar products at a comprehensive cancer center are described. Implications for research protocols are also discussed. Summary The existing literature focuses on practical considerations for formulary addition of biosimilar products, but there is a lack of guidance on how to implement the change, particularly within the EHR. Before building the ordering tools for biosimilars, the clinical and informatics teams should determine the role of biosimilars at the institution, identify drug-specific product characteristics that affect medication build, and characterize implications of future formulary changes or drug shortages. Leveraging an orderable record provides the ability to include logic that maps to multiple products and also allows for future implementation of changes within the medication record rather than requiring “swaps” at the treatment protocol level. The institutional review board should coordinate changes in affected research protocols and consent forms and work with principal investigators to amend protocols when necessary. Pharmacy leaders should develop processes to oversee inventory during the transition period and minimize the risk of errors. Conclusion The development of a standardized approach for evaluating and implementing biosimilar products improves efficiency and collaboration among the various team members responsible for the products’ integration into existing workflows, including implications for clinical research. Implementing biosimilars for agents used to treat cancer will pose new challenges and require additional considerations. Partial implementation of biosimilars continues to pose multiple challenges in the provision of patient care.

This investigation was undertaken to evaluate whether the mitochondrial disfunction associated with glucocorticoid treatment is expressed at the level of cytochrome-c oxidase (COX) and whether endurance training attenuates this response. Adult female rats were administered cortisol acetate (100 mg/kg body wt) or an equal volume of the vehicle solution for 11 days. Endurance training was performed by treadmill running up to 28 m/min (with intervals at 50 m/min for 2 min every 15 min), for 90 min/day, 6 days/wk, for 8–10 wk. During hormone treatments, the training animals ran every day. Exercise prevented 43–55% of the hormone-induced atrophy in various fast-twitch muscles or muscle groups. Cortisol acetate treatment produced no significant effects on COX enzyme activities or subunit mRNA content in deep red or superficial white quadriceps or mixed plantaris muscles. The levels of COX were increased as a result of training by 70–110% in plantaris and red quadriceps muscles, but no changes were seen in white quadriceps muscles. Both nuclear-encoded (COX IV) and mitochondrial-encoded (COX III) mRNAs were increased approximately twofold by the exercise program in these same muscles. These data indicate that the impaired mitochondrial functioning associated with glucocorticoids is not observed at the COX step of electron transport. The prolonged endurance-training regimen appears to induce relatively parallel increases in COX enzyme activity and mRNA expression with coordinate changes in nuclear and mitochondrial mRNAs.

Abstract. Deformation analysis is one of the main research fields in geodesy. Deformation analysis process comprises measurement and analysis phases. Measurements can be collected using several techniques. The output of the evaluation of the measurements is mainly point positions. In the deformation analysis phase, the coordinate changes in the point positions are investigated. Several models or approaches can be employed for the analysis. One approach is based on a Helmert or similarity coordinate transformation where the displacements and the respective covariance matrix are transformed into a unique datum. Traditionally a Least Squares (LS) technique is used for the transformation procedure. Another approach that could be introduced as an alternative methodology is the Total Least Squares (TLS) that is considerably a new approach in geodetic applications. In this study, in order to determine point displacements, 3-D coordinate transformations based on the Helmert transformation model were carried out individually by the Least Squares (LS) and the Total Least Squares (TLS), respectively. The data used in this study was collected by GPS technique in a landslide area located nearby Istanbul. The results obtained from these two approaches have been compared.
