Abstract

Background: To determine the proportion and reproducibility of cat‐allergic mild asthmatics with early asthmatic response (EAR) during cat allergen exposure in a naturalistic exposure chamber (NEC). Methods: This was a prospective, observational study in 30 cat‐allergic mild asthmatics who received two 180‐min cat‐allergen (Felis domesticus allergen 1 [Fel d 1]) challenges 27 days apart in an NEC. Results: An EAR (≥20% reduction from baseline in forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1]) was observed in 67% and 52% of subjects at first and second NEC exposure, respectively, with similar median time to EAR; 44% of subjects had an EAR on days 1 and 28. Late asthmatic response (≥15% reduction in FEV1 within 24 h of NEC exit) was observed in 33% of subjects following either exposure. Average FEV1 and total nasal symptom score during NEC exposure were highly correlated within subjects between NEC exposures (r = 0.91, p < 0.0001; r = 0.73, p < 0.001), but total ocular symptom score was not. Time to EAR, but not average FEV1, was significantly associated with NEC Fel d 1 concentration, which was variable. There were no serious adverse events; 12/30 subjects experienced 20 adverse events (including asthma, 10%; headache, 10%). Conclusions: The NEC model demonstrates that average FEV1 change is highly reproducible and has a low correlation with cat allergen levels. However, time to EAR and incidence of EAR are less reproducible and are highly correlated with NEC allergen levels. Average FEV1, rather than incidence of EAR or time to EAR, could be considered as an endpoint for interventional trials testing cat‐specific anti‐allergy therapies using an NEC.

10. Tentative Grammar Description for the Amam Language

Author

Aki, Mambu, Pennington, Ryan, Aki, Mambu, and Pennington, Ryan

Abstract

A brief and tentative grammatical description of the Amam language, focusing on aspects of the grammar that are relevant to translation work.Amam is a distinct language from Weri [wer], but does not yet have its own ethnologue code. This description was created during a four-week long workshop in which one or two mother tongue speakers worked with a linguistically trained mentor every day to collect texts in their language (recording them in audio format and then typing them up into FLEx and giving word glosses), then used these texts to investigate different grammatical topics and type them up into this grammar description. As such, the analysis is based on very limited exposure to the language for the linguistically trained mentor, and very little exposure to linguistics on behalf of the mother-tongue speakers, and thus must be considered only an initial and very tentative exploration of linguistic features., http://www.sil.org/resources/archives/56181

11. Epenthesis and nasal spreading: theoretical analyses and their practical application in the establishment of the Ma Manda orthography

Author

Pennington, Ryan and Pennington, Ryan

Abstract

http://www.sil.org/resources/archives/54766, In this paper I discuss epenthesis, vowel reduction, and nasal spreading in Ma Manda (formerly Sauk), a previously undescribed Finisterre-Huon language of the Trans-New Guinea family. After describing these processes I address how the theoretical analyses are integral in leading to the practical application of the establishment of a usable orthography.

15. The effect of silicon and aging on mechanical properties and fracture response of drawn high-strength pearlitic steel wire.

Abstract

The article focuses on a study that examines the effect of silicon and aging on fracture response mechanical properties of drawn high-strength pearlitic steel wire. It notes that eutectoid and hypereutectoid pearlitic pearls are some of the strongest mass-produced commercially available steels. It also highlights the integration of torsion test, which is a critical test in measuring the ductility of high strength steel wires.

Abstract

The article discusses how firefighters can effectively conduct patient-based extrication when conducting emergency medical services (EMS). Also cited are the growing involvement of U.S. fire services in EMS activities like basic first aid training and advanced levels of paramedicine, the need for fire departments to include medical treatment into their technical rescue tactics, and the importance of communication between the victim caregiver and extrication leader during extrication.
