Introduction. Trauma, including suicide, accidental injury, motor traffic accidents, and homicides, accounts for 73% of all maternal deaths (early and late) in NSW annually. Late maternal deaths are underreported and are not as well documented or acknowledged as early deaths.Methods. Linked population datasets from births, hospital admissions, and death registrations were analysed for the period from 1 July 2000 to 31 December 2007.Results. There were 552 901 births and a total of 129 maternal deaths. Of these deaths, 37 were early deaths (early MMR of 6.7/100 000) and 92 occurred late (late MMR of 16.6/100 000). Sixty-seven percent of deceased women had a mental health diagnosis and/or a mental health issue related to substance abuse noted. A notable peak in deaths appeared to occur from 9 to 12 months following birth with the odds ratio of a woman dying of nonmedical causes within 9–12 months of birth being 3.8 (95% CI 1.55–9.01) when compared to dying within the first 3 months following birth.Conclusion. Perinatal services are often constructed to provide short-term support. Long-term identification and support of women at particular risk of maternal death due to suicide and trauma in the first year following birth may help lower the incidence of late maternal deaths.

Long-term identification of individual plants in the field is an important part of many types of research. In a previous report, we described methods for using implanted radiofrequency identification device (RFID) microchips to tag citrus trees for field research. This report provides an update on the RFID technology for use in plants, the effect of implanted chips on long-term plant growth, and survival of the microchips over time. The microchips were found to have no significant effect on plant health and growth, and most microchips continued to work well through the first 6 years after implantation. Implanted RFID microchips appear useful for long-term tagging of citrus and other woody plant species.

Deep learning algorithms are becoming default solution for application in business processes where recognition, identification and automated learning are involved. For human identification, analysis of various features can be applied. Face feature analysis is most popular method for identification of person in various stages of life, including children and infants. The aim of this research was to propose deep learning solution for long-term identification of children in educational institutions. Previously proposed conceptual model for long-term re-identification was enhanced. The enhancements include processing of unexpected persons’ scenarios, knowledge base improvements based on results of supervised and unsupervised learning, implementation of video surveillance zones within educational institutions and object tracking results’ data chaining between multiple logical processes. Object tracking results are the solution we found for long-term identification realization.

Use of the cytomegalovirus antigenemia (CMV-Ag) assay for the detection of CMV in the blood of AIDS patients

Direct specimen testing was performed on 186 peripheral blood specimens to identify the presence of antigen to cytomegalovirus (viz., the cytomegalovirus antigenemia (CMV-Ag) assay). Confirmatory testing was performed using the shell vial indirect immunofluorescence assay (SVA-IFA), the indirect immunoperoxidase assay (TC-IPA), and conventional tube culture isolation (TC-CPE). The primary reagent for the CMV-Ag assay consisted of anti-CMV monoclonal antibody directed against the internal matrix structural phosphoprotein (1C3; Clonatec-Biosoft, France). The 72-kDa early nuclear antigen (Dupont) was utilized in the SVA-IFA and the TC-IPA. All test systems received an equal number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the inoculum. CMV was detected and isolated from 30% (55/186) of the specimens evaluated by either one or a combination of the tests. Detection and (or) isolation of CMV from blood by the CMV-Ag assay, SV-IFA, TC-IPA, and TC-CPE occurred at a rate of 17 (31/186), 12 (22/186), 16 (29/186), and 26% (49/186). Three of 55 positive specimens were identified only by the CMV-Ag assay; each patient in question, however, had at least one previous CMV isolate. No significant differences in sensitivity occurred between the CMV-Ag assay, the SVA-IFA, or the TC-IPA. However, TC-CPE including the blind passage of all negative tube cultures yielded a significantly larger number of positive blood specimens than either of the rapid detection methodologies. The CMV-Ag assay encompasses the benefits of a nonculture system, is simple to perform and easy to read, permits a same-day diagnosis, and requires less reagents than the routinely used SVA-IFA or TC-IPA. The CMV-Ag assay and TC-CPE including a blind passage are recommended assays for the rapid and then long-term identification, respectively, of CMV in the blood of AIDS patients.Key words: cytomegalovirus, antigenemia, blood, AIDS.

Suspension Test

Pups were identified by toe clipping or tattooing the plantar surface of the paws on day 4 after delivery. Their growth, maturation, and reproductive capability were not affected by either identification method. In the toe clipping group, however, the duration until fall in the suspension test was significantly shortened, indicating that this identification method may not be suitable for some behavioural tests. The clipping also disturbs the skeletal investigation of toes and is not recommended from the view point of animal welfare. Palm tattooing, on the other hand, satisfies the fundamental requirements for long-term identification of rats.

Two styles of plastic tags were used on flatback sea turtles (Natator depressus). In parallel with conventional metal flipper tagging, and internal PIT tagging methodologies, a total of 476 plastic tags were applied to 428 individual females in the 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1998 nesting seasons at Wild Duck Island, Queensland. Data are reported up to and including the 2000 nesting season demonstrating that plastic tags are inadequate for the long-term identification of these turtles, with failures of approximately 80% within three years of application.

AbstractNeurobiology-based interventions for mental diseases and searches for useful biomarkers of treatment response have largely failed. Clinical trials should assess interventions related to environmental and social stressors, with long-term follow-up; social rather than biological endpoints; personalized outcomes; and suitable cluster, adaptive, and n-of-1 designs. Labor, education, financial, and other social/political decisions should be evaluated for their impacts on mental disease.
