Antechinus Agilis

Ovulation in the agile antechinus, Antechinus agilis, usually occurs when the rate of change of photoperiod in spring is increasing at 127–137 s day–1. We report responses to a much slower rate of change of photoperiod in a population in far east Gippsland, Victoria, and discuss the ecological consequences and management significance of early breeding.

The article evaluates structural changes in agricultural production in the Russian Far East (makrorenion) in comparison with the situation in the country as a whole. Scientific novelty of the research: indicators of structural shifts in the production of certain types of agricultural products were calculated, for which a critical dependence on external supplies is noted. Practical significance of the study: the conclusions formulated in the study can be used in determining the priority areas of structural policy at the meso-level (including when planning the distribution of state support for agricultural producers). The author analyzed the value of the coefficient of reaching the threshold level of food independence for the main types of agricultural products of the country and the macroregion in the period 2014–2018, based on the results of which a reasoned conclusion was made about the unsatisfactory pace of implementation of the import substitution program at the level of the Far East. The structure of production in the context of the main categories of commodity producers in the Russian Federation and the Far East of those types of agricultural products, the provision of which does not meet the threshold values of food security, has been investigated, namely: in crop production – grain crops, vegetables in open and protected ground; in animal husbandry – meat of cattle and poultry, milk. The article calculates the following indicators of structural shifts in the production of crop and livestock products: weight, average annual rate of change and structural shift index. It is concluded that in order to increase the effectiveness of import substitution in the Far East of Russia, management decisions are needed to transform negative structural shifts in the agricultural sector into positive ones, including by stimulating the activities of agricultural enterprises of various organizational and legal forms.

Early Onset Colorectal Cancer

3547 Background: Early onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC, age < 50 years) is an emerging public health crisis; especially in Hispanics. Access to healthcare is critical for timely detection and is tied to medical insurance. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act allowed for expansion of Medicaid eligibility across the country, however, states were permitted to opt out by the US Supreme Court ruling of 2012, which created an unintended experiment in the healthcare market. We evaluated the effects of Medicaid expansion on the incidence of EO-CRC among Hispanics with the hypothesis that it would lead to an increase in incidence and early detection EO-CRC. Methods: The National Cancer Data Base was used to collect data on newly diagnosed Hispanics with EO-CRC (40-49 years), across all stages, from 2010-2017. Data for 21 expansion states (ES) that expanded Medicaid in 2014, and 16 non expansion (NES) states was analyzed. The yearly state-wise Hispanic population was collected from U.S Census Bureau for 2010-17. Incidence was computed as number of new cases of CRC divided by size of the state’s Hispanic population. Segmented Poisson generalized linear mixed effects model was used to analyze rate of change in yearly incidence of EOCRC before and after 2014, in ES and NES. Results: Average annual incidence (AI) of EO-CRC in Hispanics was 6/100,000 and 8/100,000 pre and post expansion, in ES, and 8/100,000 and 9/100,000 pre and post 2014 in the NES, respectively. Increase in AI of EO-CRC was 3.6% per year (2010-14) (95% CI: -0.1% to 7.4%), and 9.8% (2014-17) (95% CI: 5.2% to 14.7%) for ES states; and 6.4% (2010-14) (95% CI: 2.1% to 10.8%), and 1% (2014-17) (95% CI: -3.8% to 6.1%) in NES. ES showed greater change in EO-CRC incidence post expansion (2014) vs. pre-expansion, as compared to NES (p=0.078) table. There was no difference in stage at diagnosis between pre- and pos- expansion periods between ES and NES. Conclusions: Increase in incidence of EO-CRC in ES is likely due to greater access to health care due to Medicaid coverage as compared to NES. Other potential factor is migration of Medicaid eligible persons from NES to ES. However we need data past 2017 to confirm the current trend.[Table: see text]

Objectives: Although clear advances have been achieved in the study of early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), little is known to date about premorbid and prodromal neuropsychological functioning in EOS. Method: Here, we report on a case of an adolescent male with EOS who underwent neuropsychological testing before and after illness onset. Results: Marked cognitive deficits in the domains of attention, set-shifting, and verbal memory were present both pre-onset and during the course of schizophrenia, though only deficits in verbal memory persisted after illness-onset and antipsychotic treatment. Conclusion: The findings of this case study suggest that impairments in the verbal memory domain are particularly prominent symptoms of cognitive impairment in prodromal EOS and persist in the course of the disorder, which further demonstrates the difficult clinical situation of adequate schooling opportunities for adolescent patients with EOS.
