Abstract: Ethical and legal issues are common in long-term care and are separate, but closely interrelated. Health care ethics is the application of values (patient, caregiver and societal) to the process of clinical decision-making. This process requires the intellectual and empathetic weighing of values, facts and prognostications in order to produce a supportable decision. Clinicians often encounter competing values, e.g., the right of self-determination of an individual versus the interests of society as a whole, and must take into consideration the facts, as well as the likelihood and consequences of various outcomes.

Abstract: Results are presented on hyperon and antihyperon production in Pb-Pb, pPb and pBe collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon. Lambda, Xi and Omega yields have been measured at central rapidity and medium transverse momentum as functions of the centrality of the collision. Comparing the yields in Pb-Pb to those in pBe interactions, strangeness enhancement is observed. The enhancement increases with the centrality and with the strangeness content of the hyperons, reaching a factor of about 20 for the Omega in the central Pb-Pb collisions., submitted to J. Phys.

Abstract: The unique nature of vestibular otoconia as calcium carbonate biominerals makes them particularly susceptible to chemical deformation during histological processing. We fixed and stored otoconia from all three otolith endorgans of embryonic, hatchling and adult Japanese quail in glutaraldehyde containing either phosphate or non-phosphate buffers for varying lengths of time and processed them for scanning electron microscopy. Otoconia from all age groups and otolith endorgans processed in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) showed abnormal surface morphology when compared to acetone fixed controls. Otoconia processed in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate or HEPES buffered artificial endolymph (pH 7.4) showed normal morphology that was similar to controls. The degree of otoconial deformation was directly related to the time exposed to phosphate buffer. Short duration exposure produced particulate deformations while longer exposures resulted in fused otoconia that formed solid sheets. Otoconial surface deformation and fusing was independent of the glutaraldehyde component of the histological processing. These findings should help vestibular researchers to develop appropriate histological processing protocols in future studies of otoconia.

Abstract: The experiment WA97 is dedicated to the study of strange baryon production in Pb-Pb interactions at SPS energy. Results on the production of strange and multistrange baryons at midrapidity in Pb-Pb at 158 A GeV c-1 are reported and compared with those from p-Pb and p-Be reactions at the same energy. The evidence for deconfinement emerging from the observed pattern of strange baryon production is discussed.

17. The data-acquisition system for the CMS tracker beam tests

Abstract: This paper describes the conception and the development of a real-time data-acquisition system for prototype detectors of the Tracker being designed for the compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider of CERN, European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva, Switzerland. The rationale for the development of a dedicated data-acquisition system was the need to perform two fundamental beam tests (the "Milestone Barrel 1" and "Milestone Forward 1"), with large-scale prototypes of the detectors planned as the baseline design. The number of readout channels, the complexity of the readout electronics, and the stringent requirements of the milestone tests mandated that a thorough understanding of the issues related to the physics of the detectors themselves be coupled with the application of leading-edge electronic and software engineering technologies. The implementation described in this paper is based on a distributed architecture. An event builder CPU handles the two main tasks of synchronizing a variable number of front-end processors and formatting the data in preparation for the transfer to a dedicated high-performance storage system, while the front-end processors handle the hardware and the real-time readout. Additional workstations are used to decouple the actual task of transferring the data files and monitoring the detector performance on-line from the readout farm. The system has been successfully operated during the two aforementioned Milestone tests, allowing the CMS Tracker collaboration to pass them, with the simultaneous readout of up to 40000 detector channels. The results of the two Milestones have led to the compilation of the "Tracker Technical Design Report". Subsequently, the same readout system has been used for a number of other beam tests, and it has formed the basis for the development of further, more advanced data-acquisition systems for the new readout electronic of the CMS Tracker.

Abstract: A study of the strangeness enhancement in Lead-Lead collisions with respect to proton-induced reactions is being carried out at the CERN SPS by the WA97 experiment: up to now, data from proton-Lead collisions have been used as a reference sample. In this paper we report on a study of particle production in proton-Beryllium collisions. These collisions are expected to constitute a better reference sample than p-Pb, because of the lighter target. The analysis of hyperon and negative particle production is presented and the results are compared with those previously obtained from Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions.

Abstract: The WA97 experiment has measured the transverse mass $({m_{\mathrm T}})$ spectra for negative hadrons ($\mathrm{h}^-$) and strange particles produced at mid–rapidity in Pb–Pb collisions. The increased statistics of analysed data samples allowed us to perform a study of the spectra of ${\rm K_S^0}$, $\mathrm{\Lambda}$, $\mathrm{\Xi}$, $\mathrm{\Omega}$ and $\mathrm{h}^-$ as a function of the collision centrality. The data, which correspond to the most central 40% of the total inelastic cross section, have been divided into four centrality classes according to the estimated number of nucleons taking part in the collision. The $m_{\mathrm T}$ spectra, analysed separately for each centrality bin, exhibit only weak ($\leq$ 15%) centrality dependence. The deviation of the $\mathrm{\Omega}$ inverse slope from the linear dependence on the particle mass is confirmed even for the most central Pb–Pb collisions.

Ionising radiation imaging in general and spectroscopic imaging in particular must primarily be guided by the attempt to decrease statistical noise, which requires detection systems designed to allow very high counting rates. Any source of dead time must therefore be avoided. Thus, the use of on-line corrections of the inevitable dispersion of characteristics between the large number of electronic channels of the detection system, shall be precluded. Without claiming to achieve ultimate noise levels, the work described is focused on how to prevent good individual acquisition channel noise performance from being totally destroyed by the dispersion between channels without introducing dead times. With this goal, we developed an automatic charge amplifier output voltage offset compensation system which operates regardless of the cause of the offset (detector or electronic). The main performances of the system are the following: the input equivalent noise charge is 190 e rms (input non connected, peaking time 500 ns), the highest gain is 255 mV/fC, the peaking time is adjustable between 200 ns and 2 μs and the power consumption is 10 mW per channel. The agreement between experimental data and theoretical simulation results is excellent.

Abstract: Sixty patients presenting for in-patient gynaecological laparoscopic surgery were randomly allocated to receive either diclofenac 75 mg ( n = 20), ketorolac 30 mg ( n = 20) or piroxicam 20 mg ( n = 20) as an intramuscular (i.m.) injection immediately after induction of anaesthesia. Post-operative Visual Analogue Scores at rest, over the first 24 h after surgery, using a 10 cm scale, ranged from 3.2–0.5 in the diclofenac group, 2.7–0.85 in the ketorolac group and 2.8–0.5 in the piroxicam group. The scores did not differ significantly between the three groups ( P > 0.05). Mean time (SD) to first analgesia was 27 (94) min in the piroxicam group, 16 (30) min in the diclofenac group and 62 (120) min in the piroxicam group. Six out of 20 patients in the diclofenac group required further analgesia compared with nine out of 20 in the other two drug groups, this was not significant. There were no reports of increased bleeding, bronchoconstriction, bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract, renal impairment or pain from the intramuscular (i.m.) injection site in any of the groups. The administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug to patients presenting for laparoscopic surgery reduces post-operative pain and analgesic requirements, and piroxicam 20 mg provides a suitable alternative to 75 mg diclofenac and 20 mg ketorolac.

Abstract: In most Positron Emission Tomography (PET) systems dedicated to small animal imaging, the geometry of the detector module is based on a block structure where the crystal elements are coupled to a reduced number of photomultiplier tubes (PMT). In this configuration, the spatial resolution and the detection efficiency depend on the crystal dimensions and thus there is a correlation between these two figures of merit. In this paper, we present a method already used by Ter-Pogossian in the 1970s allowing the spatial resolution and the detection efficiency to be independent of each other. The crystals are oriented in the axial direction readout on both sides by individual photodetector channels. The spatial resolution in the transverse plane is driven by the crystal section and the spatial resolution in the axial direction is proportional to the contrast of the light collected on both sides of the crystal. The detection efficiency depends on the number of radial crystal layers and the geometry of the system. With the perfect knowledge of the interaction depth, the inner diameter of the PET system can be reduced to a minimum value leading to an increase in detection efficiency. We investigate two particular geometries dedicated to mouse and whole purpose studies and based on the same detection module. Each module consists on a matrix of 32 $,times,$24 LYSO:Ce crystals of 1.5 mm$,times,$1.5 mm$,times,$25 mm each read at both ends by a Photonis Corp multi-channel plate photodetector. The surface treatment is optimized to reach a volumetric spatial resolution of 1 mm$^{3}$. The detection efficiency of each system is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. The mouse and whole purpose systems a- - re based on 4 and 6 modules with an inner diameter of 61.2 mm and 103.2 mm where the axial extent is 25 mm leading to a detection efficiency of 18% and 13%, respectively. This geometrical configuration leads to a detection efficiency close to the system solid angle with a volumetric spatial resolution of 1 mm$^{3}$ .

Abstract: Recent researches in PET instrumentation tend to improve the reconstructed spatial resolution using the gamma ray Depth Of Interaction (DOI) information. This method, already introduced by Moses et al., requires reading both ends of a scintillating crystal to be efficient. The recorded charges obtained by the two photodetector such as Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT) or Avalanche PhotoDiodes (APD) are dependent on the depth gamma ray interaction. Braem et al. recently used the contrast calculated as the ratio between the difference of the recorded charges and their sum to improve the DOI spatial resolution. In this work, we investigate the optimization of the crystal length and coating to improve the depth of interaction spatial resolution in PET applications. For a 1.5 × 1.5 mm2 LYSO:Ce crystal section read at both ends by PMT, we find that a length of 25 mm and a coating made with PMMA and 30% of TiO 2 are appropriate to reach a DOI spatial resolution of 1 mm.

Abstract: Some current researches based on small animal model are dedicated to functional cerebral imaging which represents a fundamental tool to understand the mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases. In the radiopharmaceutical development approach, the main challenge is to measure the radioactivity distribution in the brain of a subject with good temporal and spatial resolutions in order to investigate the behaviors of new radiopharmaceuticals inside the injected subject. In the case where the isotope is a single photon emitter, we present a 1 D gamma counter to investigate the possibility to obtain both high detection efficiency and good spatial resolution to access the kinetic of radiopharmaceutical in the brain of a mouse. The system consists in a 64 channels Multi-Anode PhotoMultiplier Tube (H8804, Hamamatsu Corp.) coupled to a highly segmented YAP:Ce crystal consisting of 32 strips of 0.575 × 18.4 × 10 mm3. The collimation is made of 33 tungsten slats of 100 μm thick with a 40 mm height optimized using GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulations. For a field of view of 18.4 × 18.4 mm2, the intrinsic spatial resolution is equal to 575 μm with a total detection efficiency of 0.29% for an extended source. The geometry of this new gamma counter gives one kinetic curve per strip to finally get the radiopharmaceutical kinetic in the whole brain of the mouse. To obtain a 2D projection of the brain radioactivity distribution, a spin rotation procedure can be applied. The gamma counter can also be combined to a microCT system to obtain anatomical information.

Abstract: Background Sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure is now a widely accepted method of LN staging in selected invasive breast cancers (unifocal, size ≤ 2 cm, clinically N0, without previous treatment). Complete axillary clearance is no longer needed if the SLN is negative. However, the oncological safety of this procedure remains to be addressed in randomized clinical trials. One main pitfall is the failure to visualize SLN, resulting in incorrect tumor staging, leading to suboptimal treatment or axillary recurrence. Operative gamma cameras have therefore been developed to optimize the SLN visualization and the quality control of surgery. Case presentation A 44-year-old female patient with a 14-mm infiltrative ductal carcinoma underwent the SLN procedure. An operative gamma camera was used during and after the surgery. The conventional lymphoscintigraphy showed only one SLN, which was also detected by the operative gamma camera, then removed and measured (9.6 kBq). It was analyzed by frozen sections, showing no cancer cells. During this analysis, the exploration of the axillary area with the operative gamma camera enabled the identification of a second SLN with low activity (0.5 kBq) that conventional lymphoscintigraphy, surgical probe and blue staining had failed to visualize. Histological examination revealed a macrometastasis. Axillary clearance was then performed, followed by a postoperative image proving that no SLN remained. Therefore, the use of the operative gamma camera prevented an under-estimation of staging which would have resulted in a suboptimal treatment for this patient. Conclusion This case report illustrates that an efficient operative gamma camera may be able to decrease the risk of false negative rate of the SLN procedure, and could be an additional tool to control the quality of the surgery.

Abstract: Large field of view gamma cameras are widely used to perform lymphoscintigraphy in the sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) procedure in case of breast cancer. However, they are not specified for this application and their sizes do not enable their use in the operative room to control the excision of the all SLN. We present the results obtained with a prototype of a new mini gamma camera developed especially for the operative lymphoscintigraphy of the axillary area in case of breast cancer. This prototype is composed of 10 mm thick parallel lead collimator, a 2 mm thick GSO:Ce inorganic scintillating crystal from Hitachi and a Hamamatsu H8500 flat panel multianode (64 channels) photomultiplier tube (MAPMT) equipped with a dedicated electronics. Its actual field of view is 50 × 50mm2. The gamma interaction position in the GSO scintillating plate is obtained by calculating the center of gravity of the fired MAPMT channels. The measurements performed with this prototype demonstrate the usefulness of this mini gamma camera for the pre, per and post-operative identification of SLN's and how its complementary role with an intraoperative handheld gamma probe enables to improve the efficiency of this practice. A 100 × 100mm2 field of view camera designated to cover the entire axillary area is under investigation.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of a prototype intraoperative mini -camera, the CarolIReS, with a 50 x 50 mm field of view, to precisely localize sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and to determine their depth in a series of patients with infiltrative breast cancer requiring SLN excision. Methods: With the use of phantoms, the broadness of the signal of an acquired projection was shown to linearly depend on its distance from the collimator. A preclinical ex vivo study of 25 excised SLNs demonstrated that SLN size did not influence depth estimation. The minimum activity threshold for successful use of the proposed method was determined. After a preoperative radioisotope injection and lymphoscintigraphy, the SLN was localized in a series of 11 patients using both the mini -camera and a -probe. During surgery, a ruler was used to measure the depth of all SLNs before their excision. Results: Using the measured linear dependence of image broadness, we found that the expected SLN anatomic depth was compatible with its measured depth during surgery. Conclusion: This study showed that the mini -camera efficiently estimated the location of SLNs in 3 dimensions

Abstract: A small series production of detector modules made of MicroStrip Gas Counters (MSGC) and a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) foil has been exposed to a high-intensity hadron beam, We report about the reproductibility and stability of the detector responses and about the occurrence and consequences of discharges in the detector, The interdependence of the four voltage differences used in the detector has been studied by Simulation and with X-ray measurements. Rate dependence of the signal amplitude is observed. The behaviour of the MSGC + GEM is compared to that of a state-of-the-art MSGC. Influence of various parameters on the detector response is investigated. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: A system of detector modules consisting of a large size Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM), coupled to Micro Strip Gas Counters (MSGC, has been exposed to a pion beam at the Paul Scherrer Institute Cyclotron facility. As part of a CMS tracker milestone, the aim of this test was to investigate the robustness of such detectors when exposed to experimental conditions close to what is expected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of CERN. Eighteen detector modules have been operated at voltage settings corresponding to 98% detection efficiency for Minimum Ionizing Particles during a period of 5 weeks. Sparking rates and strip losses have been monitored throughout the exposure. An operation margin of at least a factor of three with respect to the required gas gain has been demonstrated.

Abstract: A wedge-shaped Micromegas detector has been tested with a fast integrated electronics (PREMUX128). Due to the large capacitance of this detector, special care has been taken to protect electronics from possible streamers in the signal collection area; a study of the discharge mechanism is reported here. The signal-to-noise, spatial resolution and efficiency have been evaluated with a 100 GeV/c muons beam at the CERN X5 experimental area. Then the rate capability of this detector has been studied with a high rate 300 MeV /c pions beam at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).

Several studies have been realized in a beam of Minimum Ionizing Particles (100 GeV/ c muons): signal-to-noise curves for different GEM amplifications and drift fields, spatial resolution, efficiency and cluster size. GEM acts as a simple added element with little disturbance of the system (on the electronics or no degradation of the spatial resolution).

Abstract: $K^{0}_{s}$, $\Lambda$, $\Xi$, $\Omega$ and negative particle yields and transverse mass spectra have been measured at central rapidity in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at 158 $A$ GeV/$c$. The yields in Pb-Pb interactions % are presented as a function of the collision centrality and compared with those obtained from p-Pb collisions. Strangeness enhancement in Pb-Pb relative to p-Pb collisions increases with the strangeness content of the particle. Going from p-Pb to Pb-Pb, the strange particle yields increase faster than linearly with the number of participants $N_{part}$ up to $N_{part} \approx 100$, thereafter the increase becomes %linear with $N_{part}$. Yields are studied as a function of the number of nucleons participating in the collision $N_{part}$, which is estimated with the Glauber model. From p-Pb to Pb-Pb collisions the particle yields per participant increase substantially. The enhancement is more pronounced for multistrange particles, and exceeds an order of magnitude for the $\Omega$. For a number of participants, $N_{part}$, greater than $100$, however, all yields per participant appear to be constant.

Abstract: Abstract Development of insecticides resistance mainly hinge with managements techniques for the control of Jassid, Amrasca biguttutla biguttutla. Five insecticides were applied against field collected and laboratory rared jassid populations during the years of 2017 to 2019 to profile their resistance level against field population of jassid through leaf dip method. Very low resistance level was found in jassid against confidor whereas high level of resistance was observed by pyriproxyfen against other test insecticides. Gradual resistance was observed against diafenthiuron. It is concluded that for the management of Jassid repetition of same insecticide should be avoided. The use of confidor may be reduced to overcome resistance against Jassid.

Abstract: The series of experiments (WA85, WA94 and WA97) at the Omega spectrometer at CERN SPS have systematically studied the production of different strange particles. Strangeness enhancements at central rapidities have been reported by WA85 and WA94 in S-W and SS with respect to p-A collisions. For the investigation of PbPb interactions in the WA97 experiment a new detector suitable for high particle densities, the Pixel Tracking Chamber, has been developed based on silicon pixel detectors. The results on production ratios and cross sections of Λ, Λ , Ξ − , Ξ + , Ω − and Ω + detected by this experiment are presented. A significant enhancement of the Ω over Ξ ratio is observed when comparing p-Pb to PbPb data (a factor of about 3).

Abstract: The trigger for the first compact muon solenoid (CMS) tracking beam tests is a dedicated system for analog multiplexed front-end electronics. With this first generation of electronics dedicated to CMS tracker detectors, some new specific development was necessary to read it with a multicrate distributed data acquisition (DAQ) system. The goal of this development was to reach a high scalability of experiment subsystems and a good robustness for test beams. Each subsystem had to be independent from the others, both from the hardware and software point of view. Remote control software for this system as well as further monitoring facilities were the required functions of the trigger system.
