Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have proven a successful platform for the delivery of nucleic acid (NA)-based therapeutics and vaccines, with ionizable lipid component playing key role in modulating potency tolerability. Here, library 16 novel lipids is screened hypothesizing that short, branched trialkyl hydrophobic domains can improve LNP fusogenicity or endosomal escape, potency. LNPs formulated top-performing (Lipid 10) encapsulating transthyretin siRNA elicit significantly greater gene...
Arrhythmia Detection with S‐ICD Versus Transvenous ICDs. Background: The development of a totally subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S‐ICD) system requires new approach for arrhythmia detection. To evaluate discrimination one such system, the Subcutaneous versus Recognition Testing (START) study was designed as prospective, multicenter trial comparing simulated sensing performances single‐ (SC‐TV) and dual‐chamber transvenous (DC‐TV) cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) systems. Methods: At...
here are about 3 million people worldwide with pacemakers, and each year 600 000 pacemakers implanted.With rare exception, implantation of a pacemaker does not change the recipient's activities or lifestyle.Although most who receive aged 60 years older, any age, even children, may need pacemakers. Reasons for Pacemaker ImplantationAlmost all implanted to treat slow heart beating, which is called "bradycardia."At rest, usually beats 50 70 times minute, rate increase 2-to 3-fold during stress...
Introduction: The diameter of implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) leads has become progressively smaller over time. However, the long‐term performance characteristics these ICD are unknown. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 357 patients who underwent implantation a Medtronic Sprint Fidelis™ defibrillating lead at two separate centers between September 2004 and October 2006. Lead were measured implant, early follow‐up (1–4 days post implant), every 3–6 months thereafter. Results:...
In 2017, the New South Wales Police Force in Australia embarked on a bold new social media strategy, harnessing humorous Internet memes and cute images of police animals to increase 'user engagement' with their posts. Provoked by changes Facebook's News Feed Algorithm, this self-described 'meme-strategy' generated surge followers for organisation's accounts, NSW Police's Facebook page reaching one million August 2017 – record an official page. This article examines logics underpinning 'meme...
MRAM (magnetic random access memory) technology, based on the use of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) as memory elements, is a potentially fast nonvolatile technology with very high write endurance. This paper an overview design considerations. Topics covered include fundamentals, array architecture, several associated studies, and scaling challenges. In addition, 16-Mb demonstration vehicle described, performance results are presented.
Primary prevention ICD trials have excluded patients with CKD. Comorbidities and lower life expectancy in CKD make the benefit of primary implantation uncertain.A decision analysis model was devised to evaluate risks benefits implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) chronic kidney disease (CKD) who meet current criteria for a ICD. Published data capturing event rates, infection risks, overall survival without ICDs were utilized. Variables included patient's age, GFR stage CKD,...
What has been termed the survivor selfie is a recent and growing phenomenon whereby survivors of intimate partner violence or their close supporters upload graphic photos accounts injuries suffering to social media. In this article, we examine how like economy Facebook can lead rapid circulation selfies large audiences, in doing so, generate what term viral justice: outcome victim’s online justice-seeking post ‘going viral’ quickly being viewed shared-on by thousands media users. Through...
Abstract Understanding how technologies contribute to social harms is a perennial issue, animating debate within and well beyond criminology. This article contributes these debates in two ways. First, it critically examines five of the key approaches criminologists have used think through harms. Second, proposes new approach understanding ‘technology–harm relations’. Bringing theory critical realism, Simondon Floridi into conversation, proposed offers stratigraphy harm that enables us...
As many universities strive to decolonise their curricula, understanding how criminologists in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are incorporating First Nations Knowledges, perspectives experiences becomes crucial. Drawing on a survey of 176 criminology educators working these countries, this study examined Nations’ insights embedded teaching. The findings indicate that across the two countries embedding variety approaches within curricula but there is still much work do. Educators from...
ContextLimited information exists to direct clinical management after an implantable device has been put under advisory. A better understanding of the risks and benefits replacement compared with continued follow-up would be helpful clinicians.ObjectiveUsing tools decision analysis, determine best approach (immediate vs monitoring) in setting a advisory.DesignA model was constructed evaluate associated immediate monitoring.Main Outcome MeasuresVariables considered included indications for...
Although several studies have shown the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for advanced congestive heart failure (CHF), gender differences in utilization CRT are not known.We used Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to study national rates admissions due CHF along with procedures initial implantation, including both CRT-defibrillator (CRT-D) CRT-pacemakers (CRT-P) during years 2002-2004. Chi-square tests were comparison between number women men. A P < 0.05...

Alongside upskirting, creepshotting a iteration image-based abuse, whereby images are captured distributed without consent online. In order to understand evolution creepshot its current status as major form online misogyny, we have excavate past, analyse technological developments that enabled this behaviour...
