TL;DR: Challenges that remain for echinococcosis control include effective intervention in resource-poor communities, better availability of surveillance tools, optimal application of livestock vaccination, and management and ecology of dog and wildlife host populations.
Abstract: Human cystic echinococcosis (CE) has been eliminated or significantly reduced as a public health problem in several previously highly endemic regions. This has been achieved by the long-term application of prevention and control measures primarily targeted to deworming dogs, health education, meat inspection, and effective surveillance in livestock and human populations. Human CE, however, remains a serious neglected zoonotic disease in many resource-poor pastoral regions. The incidence of human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) has increased in continental Europe and is a major public health problem in parts of Eurasia. Better understanding of wildlife ecology for fox and small mammal hosts has enabled targeted anthelmintic baiting of fox populations and development of spatially explicit models to predict population dynamics for key intermediate host species and human AE risk in endemic landscapes. Challenges that remain for echinococcosis control include effective intervention in resource-poor communities, better availability of surveillance tools, optimal application of livestock vaccination, and management and ecology of dog and wildlife host populations.

TL;DR: In this article, a methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymer with pentavalent phosphorus-containing monomers is copolymed with PMMA and the flame retardance of the resulting copolymers has been assessed by limiting oxygen indicies (LOI) and cone calorimetry experiments.

TL;DR: Elevated genotoxic effects, as measured by micronuclei in urothelial cells, are associated with the staple consumption of cooked rice with >200 μg/kg arsenic, which raises considerable concerns over the threat to human health.
Abstract: Arsenic in drinking water may cause major deleterious health impacts including death. Although arsenic in rice has recently been demonstrated to be a potential exposure route for humans, there has been to date no direct evidence for the impact of such exposure on human health. Here we show for the first time, through a cohort study in West Bengal, India, involving over 400 human subjects not otherwise significantly exposed to arsenic through drinking water, elevated genotoxic effects, as measured by micronuclei (MN) in urothelial cells, associated with the staple consumption of cooked rice with >200 μg/kg arsenic. Further work is required to determine the applicability to populations with different dietary and genetic characteristics, but with over 3 billion people in the world consuming rice as a staple food and several percent of this rice containing such elevated arsenic concentrations, this study raises considerable concerns over the threat to human health.

TL;DR: Amorphous hydrogenerated carbon films containing a small amount of metal (Me:C-H) have been deposited by closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating.
Abstract: Amorphous hydrogenerated carbon films containing a small amount of metal (Me:C-H) have been deposited by closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating. The films have graded film compositions to optimise the adhesion to the substrates, and multilayer TiC/Ti:C-H films have also been deposited. The films have excellent properties: very high measured microhardness (more than 4000 H v ), excellent adhesion ( L c 115–125 N), coefficients of friction against WC of less than 0.2, and volumetric wear rates one fifth that of titanium nitride. The coating procedure is ideally suited to the system used, and many applications for the films are already realised.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cognitive approach to understand mood swings and bipolar disorders is provided, with the interpretation of changes in internal state as a central explanatory factor, explaining how attempts at affect regulation are disturbed through the multiple and conflicting extreme personal meanings that are given to internal states.
Abstract: A cognitive approach to understanding mood swings and bipolar disorders is provided, with the interpretation of changes in internal state as a central explanatory factor. The model explains how attempts at affect regulation are disturbed through the multiple and conflicting extreme personal meanings that are given to internal states. They prompt exaggerated efforts to enhance or exert control over internal states, which paradoxically provoke further internal state changes, thereby feeding into a vicious cycle that can maintain or exacerbate symptoms. Counterproductive attempts at control are classified as either ascent behaviours (increasing activation), or descent behaviours (decreasing activation). It is suggested that appraisals of extreme personal meaning are influenced by specific sets of beliefs about affect and its regulation, and about the self and relations with others, leading to an interaction that raises vulnerability to relapse. Pertinent literature is reviewed and found to be compatible with such a model. The clinical implications are discussed and compared to existing interventions.
