AbstractBy this research notes, the well-known Tremblay operator and certain core knowledge therewith are firstly introduced and an extensive result containing numerous (analytic and) geometric properties (of possible applications of the related operator) along with a number of special implications are then constituted. As method for proving, the well-known assertion proposed by [8] is also considered there.

Graduate Training Programs

The Council for Clinical Certification in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CCFC) sets accreditation standards and these standards list broad domains of knowledge with specific coverage of “the appropriate etiologies, characteristics, anatomical/physiological, acoustic, psychological, developmental, and linguistic and cultural correlates” and assessment, intervention, and methods of prevention for each domain” (CCFC, 2013, “Standard IV-C”). One domain in the 2014 standards is “voice and resonance.” Studies of graduate training programs suggest that fewer programs require coursework in cleft palate, the course in which resonance was traditionally taught. The purpose of this paper is to propose a standardized learning outcomes specific to resonance that would achieve the minimum knowledge required for all entry-level professionals in speech-language pathology. Graduate programs and faculty should retain flexibility and creativity in how these learning outcomes are achieved. Shared learning objectives across programs would serve programs, faculty, students, accreditation site visitors, and the public in assuring that a consistent, minimum core knowledge is achieved across graduate training programs. Proficiency in the management of individuals with resonance disorders would require additional knowledge and skills.

Didactic Presentation

Over the past decade we have attempted various iterations of the academic half-day, but recurring trainee complaints of only didactic sessions, a parallel resident-directed “Nelsons” rounds, and low attendance necessitated a reconsideration of the approach. After discussion with the postgraduate trainees we divided the academic year into two blocks. An initial 8 week “summer program” with 24 student contact hours, focuses on the introduction to and review of common, critical care and emergency pediatric issues. The following 40 weeks has 120 student contact hours. Two thirds of the time is directed at the CanMEDS Medical Expert Core Competency. The postgraduate trainees have developed a three year core knowledge curriculum. The 200 “core” topics are mapped onto four international curricula; the RCPSC’s Objectives of Training and Specialty Training Requirements in Pediatrics using the Systems-Based Educational Objectives in the Core Program in Pediatrics, the American Board of Pediatrics – General Pediatrics Outline, and the Royal College of Pediatrics & Child Health (RCPCH) Framework of Competencies for Basic Specialist Training, and Core Higher Specialist Training in Paediatrics. The two hour Medical Expert session is divided equally into a postgraduate trainee didactic presentation, and a collaborator case-based learning session. Six weeks prior to the scheduled session the trainee and the assigned faculty collaborator receive the core Medical Expert topic mapped to the four international curricula. The pediatric trainee develops a didactic presentation along with a two page summary. The collaborator, a resource for the trainee’s didactic presentation, develops three clinical cases that emphasize core knowledge, and attends as a Medical Expert resource person. We are currently surveying the postgraduate trainees and faculty about this international-based core medical expert program of study.

BACKGROUND Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease, of which the pathophysiology is insufficiently understood, and the curative drugs are long-awaited to be developed. Computational drug repurposing introduces a promising complementary strategy of drug discovery, which benefits from an accelerated development process and decreased failure rate. However, generating new hypotheses in AD drug repurposing requires multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary data integration and connection, posing a great challenge in the era of big data. By integrating data with computable semantics, ontologies could infer unknown relationships through automated reasoning and fulfill an essential role in supporting computational drug repurposing. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to systematically design a robust Drug Repurposing-Oriented Alzheimer’s Disease Ontology (DROADO), which could model fundamental elements and their relationships involved in AD drug repurposing and integrate their up-to-date research advance comprehensively. METHODS We devised a core knowledge model of computational AD drug repurposing, based on both pre-genomic and post-genomic research paradigms. The model centered on the possible AD pathophysiology and abstracted the essential elements and their relationships. We adopted a hybrid strategy to populate the ontology (classes and properties), including importing from well-curated databases, extracting from high-quality papers and reusing the existing ontologies. We also leveraged n-ary relations and nanopublication graphs to enrich the object relations, making the knowledge stored in the ontology more powerful in supporting computational processing. The initially built ontology was evaluated by a semiotic-driven and web-based tool Ontokeeper. RESULTS The current version of DROADO was composed of 1,021 classes, 23 object properties and 3,207 axioms, depicting a fundamental network related to computational neuroscience concepts and relationships. Assessment using semiotic evaluation metrics by OntoKeeper indicated sufficient preliminary quality (semantics, usefulness and community-consensus) of the ontology. CONCLUSIONS As an in-depth knowledge base, DROADO would be promising in enabling computational algorithms to realize supervised mining from multi-source data, and ultimately, facilitating the discovery of novel AD drug targets and the realization of AD drug repurposing.

Older Males

Background: The combination of creatine supplementation and resistance training (10–12 weeks) has been shown to increase bone mineral content and reduce a urinary indicator of bone resorption in older males compared with placebo. However, the longer-term effects (12 months) of creatine and resistance training on bone mineral density and bone geometric properties in older males is unknown. Aim: To assess the effects of 12 months of creatine supplementation and supervised, whole-body resistance training on bone mineral density, bone geometric properties, muscle accretion, and strength in older males. Methods: Participants were randomized to supplement with creatine ( n = 18, 49–69 years, 0.1 g·kg-1·d-1) or placebo ( n = 20, 49–67 years, 0.1 g·kg-1·d-1) during 12 months of supervised, whole-body resistance training. Results: After 12 months of training, both groups experienced similar changes in bone mineral density and geometry, bone speed of sound, lean tissue and fat mass, muscle thickness, and muscle strength. There was a trend ( p = 0.061) for creatine to increase the section modulus of the narrow part of the femoral neck, an indicator of bone bending strength, compared with placebo. Adverse events did not differ between creatine and placebo. Conclusions: Twelve months of creatine supplementation and supervised, whole-body resistance training had no greater effect on measures of bone, muscle, or strength in older males compared with placebo.
