Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS) is the most common erythrocyte membrane disorder causing hemolytic anemia. The wide heterogeneity of both clinical and laboratory manifestations of HS contributes to difficulties associated with the diagnosis of this disorder. Although massive data previously reported worldwide, there is yet no data on HS among the Tunisian population. Here we aim to characterize HS in Tunisian patients at biochemical and cellular levels, identify the membrane protein deficiency, and compare the accuracy of the diagnostic tests to identify the most appropriate assay for HS diagnosis.

We investigated 81 patients with hemolytic anemia and 167 normal controls. The exploration of HS based on clinical and family history, physical examination, and the results of laboratory tests blood smear, osmotic fragility test (OFT), cryohemolysis test (CT), pink test (PT), eosine-5'-maleimide (EMA) test, and erythrocyte membrane protein electrophoresis.

We identified 21 patients with HS, classified as severeevalent protein deficiency among Tunisians with HS. Moreover, we found that the combination of the EMA-binding test with PT or incubated OFT improves the diagnosis sensitivity while maintaining a good specificity.Comparing median outcomes to gauge treatment effectiveness is widespread practice in clinical and other investigations. While common, such difference-in-median characterizations of effectiveness are but one way to summarize how outcome distributions compare. This paper explores properties of median treatment effects (TEs) as indicators of treatment effectiveness. The paper's main focus is on decisionmaking based on median TEs and it proceeds by considering two paths a decisionmaker might follow. ML198 Along one, decisions are based on point-identified differences in medians alongside partially identified median differences; along the other decisions are based on point-identified differences in medians in conjunction with other point-identified parameters. On both paths familiar difference-in-median measures play some role yet in both the traditional standards are augmented with information that will often be relevant in assessing treatments' effectiveness. Implementing either approach is straightforward. In addition to its analytical results the paper considers several policy contexts in which such considerations arise. While the paper is framed by recently reported findings on treatments for COVID-19 and uses several such studies to explore empirically some properties of median-treatment-effect measures of effectiveness, its results should be broadly applicable.Plastic pollution is one of the biggest problems all over the world. Beyond change/awareness of consumer behavior, there is an urgent need to search for efficient, economical and environmentally friendly catalysts for the valorization of plastic waste to value-added compounds. This work describes the reductive depolymerization of several types of plastic waste into value-added compounds, including 1,6-hexanediol, 1,2-propanediol, p-xylene and tetrahydrofuran, in good yields using the eco-friendly, air-stable, commercially available and very cheap catalyst Zn(OAc)2  ⋅ 2H2 O. This is the first example of the reductive depolymerization of polyester waste catalyzed by a zinc catalyst. Moreover, the catalytic system silane/Zn(OAc)2  ⋅ 2H2 O was successfully applied to the reduction of polycaprolactone (PCL) on the gram scale with good yield and also to the selective reductive depolymerization of plastic mixtures. Finally, this work demonstrated that the catalyst Zn(OAc)2  ⋅ 2H2 O can be used in at least 7 cycles with good yields.Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) involves the delivery of maintaining reinforcers on a time-dependent schedule and often includes extinction. However, arbitrary reinforcers may be equally efficacious during NCR without extinction for treating escape-maintained problem behavior. The purpose of this study was to extend previous research on NCR by evaluating the relative efficacy of NCR without extinction and comparing maintaining versus arbitrary reinforcers for 4 individuals with escape-maintained problem behavior. Two different NCR conditions, NCR using the maintaining reinforcer (escape) and NCR using an arbitrary reinforcer (an edible), were evaluated using multielement and reversal designs. Treatment effects varied across participants. Results for 2 participants showed a reduction in problem behavior during NCR without extinction with both the arbitrary and maintaining reinforcers. For 1 participant, results showed a reduction in problem behavior with both the arbitrary and maintaining reinforcers only when extinction was added to NCR. For the 4th participant, the maintaining reinforcer was effective during NCR without extinction, but the arbitrary reinforcer was ineffective.
To determine web-based public interest in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) specifically for urological oncological surgical procedures and how interest in robotics and laparoscopy compares over time.

Worldwide search-engine trend analysis included electronic Google queries of MIS urologic options from January 2004 to August 2019, worldwide. Join-point regression was performed. Comparison of annual relative search volume (ARSV) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) were analysed to assess loss or gain of interest. Evaluations were made regarding 1) penetrance of interest for MIS in Urology; 2) how MIS urologic procedures compared over time; and 3) which were the top related queries to searches for urologic oncology procedures.

Increased interest was found for all of the MIS procedures evaluated. Mean ARSV for robotic approach was higher for the search term 'prostatectomy" (44.8 vs. 13.5; p<0.001) and 'partial nephrectomy" (27.1 vs.11.5; p=0.02). No statistical difference was found for the search terms 'cystectomy" or 'nephrectomy".
