Podcasts about analyses

What do search engine optimization, airline schedules and standardized testing have in common? They are all vulnerable to Goodhart's law, the idea that when a metric becomes a target it ceases to be a good metric.   In this episode Michael Stumborg and Timothy Blasius join John to discuss their report, “Goodhart's Law: Recognizing and Mitigating the Manipulation of Measures in Analysis.”   Michael Stumborg is a Principal Research Scientist with CNA's ​Strike and Air Warfare Program. Timothy Blasius is a Senior Research Scientist with CNA's Strike and Air Warfare Program.

Mohamad Hallal, UC Berkeley When attempting to model seismic site effects, most studies have focused on the importance of vertically characterizing subsurface geomaterials. However, laterally characterizing the geomaterials’ variability has generally been either overlooked or oversimplified. As such, little is actually known about the spatial area that influences seismic site response. This presentation will share insights that have been gained regarding the spatial area that influences site response from performing two-dimensional (2D) ground response analyses (GRAs) for the Treasure Island Downhole Array (TIDA) site. These numerical analyses utilize a site-specific, large-scale, three-dimensional (3D) shear wave velocity (V s) model that has been developed to a depth of 150 m over the entirety of Treasure Island (an area of approximately 1.6 km × 1.0 km). The lateral extent influencing site response and its azimuthal variability will be discussed by investigating: (1) four cross-sections with increasing lateral extent along the same azimuth, and (2) 12 cross-sections with different azimuths that uniformly sample the full 3D V s model. Although the TIDA site is often assumed to be archetype of one-dimensional (1D) site conditions, the findings shared in this presentation will support the notion that there may not be many truly 1D sites due to the large spatial area that influences site response. While some sites can be reasonably modeled using 1D GRAs, moving our profession forward requires focusing our efforts on developing site-specific subsurface models over larger areas to better understand and accurately model seismic site response.

Abstract: Previous research has shown practice within an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment improves real-world (RW) performance. Increased user motivation is one possible advantage of practicing in VR. One recent study showed that an enriched gaming environment led to higher levels of engagement, resulting in a direct learning benefit. The purpose of this study was to compare the intrinsic motivation, engagement, and transfer of learning differences between VR practice and RW practice of the same motor skill. Participants (n = 61) were randomly assigned to a RW practice group (n = 30) or a VR practice group (n = 31) in which they performed a golf putting task. Analyses showed VR practice led to a significantly greater increase in average IMI score than RW practice. Analyses for performance showed there was a significant (p less than .001) improvement in accuracy (i.e., radial error) from pre to posttest, but the two groups did not differ from one another. Overall, these results partially support our hypotheses and suggest that VR practice led to a greater increase in motivation compared to RW practice. Additionally, these results suggest that VR practice was similarly effective at improving accuracy compared to RW practice. Future research directions are discussed.

K., Barre, W., Bartres-Faz, D., Boraxbekk, C.-J., Brandmaier, A., Demuth, I., Drevon, C. A., Ebmeier, K., Ghisletta, P., Kievit, R. A., Kuhn, S. A., Nyberg, L., Madsen, K. S., Sole-Padulles, C., Vidal-Pineiro, D., Wagner, G., Wang, Y., Watne, L. O., Walhovd, K. B. Abstract: Many sleep less than recommended without experiencing daytime tiredness. According to prevailing views, short sleep increases risk of lower brain health and cognitive function. Chronic mild sleep deprivation could cause undetected sleep debt, negatively affecting cognitive function and brain health. However, it is possible that some have less sleep needs and are more resistant to negative effects of sleep loss. We investigated this question using a combined cross-sectional and longitudinal sample of 47,029 participants (age 20-89 years) with measures of self-reported sleep, including 51,295 MRIs of the brain and cognitive tests. 701 participants who reported to sleep less than 6 hours did not experience any daytime tiredness or sleep problems. These short sleepers showed on average larger regional brain volumes and only slightly lower general cognitive function compared to a group of 7-8 hours healthy sleepers (n = 3754). In contrast, short sleepers reporting excessive daytime tiredness and sleep problems (n = 1619) had smaller brain volumes and lower cognitive scores. Analyses using accelerometer-estimated sleep duration confirmed the findings, and the associations remained after controlling for body mass index, depression symptoms, income and education. The results suggest that some people can cope with less sleep without obvious negative consequences for brain health, in line with a view on sleep need as individualized. Tiredness and sleep problems seem to be more relevant for neurocognitive function than sleep duration per se. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Africa is thought to be the ancestral homeland of all modern human populations within the past 300,000 years. It is also a region of tremendous cultural, linguistic, climatic, and genetic diversity. Despite the important role that African populations have played in human history, they remain one of the most underrepresented groups in human genomics studies. A comprehensive knowledge of patterns of variation in African genomes is critical for a deeper understanding of human genomic diversity, the identification of functionally important genetic variation, the genetic basis of adaptation to diverse environments and diets, and the origins of modern humans. We have characterized genomic variation in thousands of ethnically and geographically diverse Africans in order to reconstruct human population history and local adaptation to variable environments and have identified candidate loci that play a role in alcohol metabolism and skin color.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.17.520811v1?rss=1 Authors: Meyers, E. M. Abstract: Neural decoding is a powerful method to analyze neural activity. However, the code needed to run a decoding analysis can be complex, which can present a barrier to using the method. In this paper we introduce a package that makes it easy to perform decoding analyses in the R programing language. We describe how the package is designed in a modular fashion which allows researchers to easily implement a range of different analyses. We also discuss how to format data to be able to use the package, and we give two examples of how to use the package to analyze real data. We believe that this package, combined with the rich data analysis ecosystem in R, will make it significantly easier for researchers to create reproducible decoding analyses, which should help increase the pace of neuroscience discoveries.

Abstract: Hemispheric specialization is a fundamental feature of human brain organization. However, it is not yet clear to what extent the lateralization of specific cognitive processes may be evident throughout the broad functional architecture of cortex. While the majority of people exhibit left-hemispheric language dominance, a substantial minority of the population shows reverse lateralization. Using twin and family data from the Human Connectome Project, we provide evidence that atypical language dominance is associated with global shifts in cortical organization. Individuals with atypical language organization exhibited corresponding hemispheric differences in the macroscale functional gradients that situate discrete large-scale networks along a continuous spectrum, extending from unimodal through association territories. Analyses revealed that both language lateralization and gradient asymmetries are, in part, driven by genetic factors. These findings pave the way for a deeper understanding of the origins and relationships linking population-level variability in hemispheric specialization and global properties of cortical organization.

Pour écouter l'épisode, je m'abonne à Coparena : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-ufMgTDRZ Alors que la compétition avance, les blocs se resserrent et les rencontres se crispent. Plutôt fermés, les deux premiers quarts de finale de cette Coupe du monde 2022 se sont décidés aux tirs au but. Déjà sauvée par Livakovic dans le temps règlementaire, la Croatie s'en est une nouvelle fois remise à son gardien de but pour rallier le dernier carré de la compétition pour la deuxième fois d'affilée. De son côté, l'Argentine aurait pu sombrer après avoir laissé filer deux buts d'avance dans le temps règlementaire face aux Pays-Bas. L'Albiceleste a finalement relevé la tête pendant les prolongations avant d'être porté à son tour par un Emiliano Martinez des grands soirs lors de la séance fatidique.

Findings from ProPASS' proof-of-concept IPD analyses: device-measured movement & cardiometabolic outcomes.

Over 90% of the evidence used for guidelines development is based on questionnaires. In the last decade there has been a large increase in device-based cohorts that will likely inform the next generation of guidelines. Compared to questionnaires, devices such as accelerometers capture very different aspects of physical activity, posture and sleep. The symposium's sessions will discuss the strengths and complexities encountered during the transition of future guidelines from questionnaire-based to accelerometer-measured evidence, and will highlight the instrumental role that ProPASS and other analogous consortia can play in enabling a smooth transition towards device-based and truly global physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep guidelines.

Pour écouter l'épisode, je m'abonne à Coparena : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-ufMgTDRZ Les derniers huitièmes de finale ont réservé leur lot d'émotions avant les premières journées sans football de cette Coupe du monde. La surprise d'abord, avec la victoire du Maroc aux tirs au but face à l'Espagne, l'admiration ensuite face à la démonstration portugaise face à une Nati rapidement dépassée par les attaques adverses. En 90 minutes, le Portugal s'est posé comme un sérieux outsider à la victoire finale, alliant l'efficacité à la manière.

De quoi confirmer le statut de grand favori de la Seleçao ?

Pour écouter l'épisode, je m'abonne à Coparena : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-ufMgTDRZ La première journée des huitièmes de finale de la Coupe du monde a accouché de deux qualifications logiques mais pas faciles pour les Pays-Bas et l'Argentine. Bousculés d'entrée de jeu par des Américains motivés, les Néerlandais ont bâti leur succès sur un but magnifique qui les a mis dans des conditions idéales pour négocier le reste de la rencontre. Plus tard dans la soirée, l'Argentine avait cru se rendre le match tranquille en menant 2-0. Mal lui en a pris puisque l'Australie s'est battu jusqu'au bout et aurait pu revenir dans les arrêts de jeu.

How could differences between countries affect the elements that are included in statistical research? How could studies with such a diverse sample from different countries be managed to create a more dependable reference for statistical studies? How do differences of the quality of care that the target population receives impact studies? As statisticians, we need to be able to understand the validity of the outcomes of statistical analysis for different target populations. In this podcast, you will learn ways to tackle this problem: In this podcast, you will learn how this problem could be resolved:

“Greenhouse gas mitigation strategies and opportunities for agriculture” with Dr. Hoyoung Kwon Agriculture and food systems can be strong contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, in turn, climate change. However, in the midst of this reality, there are also abundant opportunities to improve our systems, reduce emissions, and move towards a more sustainable future…so long as we can identify those opportunities first. This episode, Hoyoung discusses his work studying agricultural life-cycle analyses to better identify the major inputs and outputs in ag, understand how these contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and develop ways to improve them. Tune in to learn: What a life cycle analysis does What data can be used to create life cycle analyses What key improvements we can make to mitigate food system related GHG emissions What resources are available to help farmers implement these techniques If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20844 This paper is always freely available.

The General Services Administration should cancel the Transactional Data Reporting pilot because of pricing problems according to GSA's Office of Inspector General. The IG says the pilot doesn't result in a viable pricing methodology after a six-year test run. Barbara Bouldin, deputy assistant inspector general for acquisition audits at General Services Administration Office of Inspector General, and Thomas Tripple, regional inspector general for auditing at GSA OIG's Mid-Atlantic Region Audit Office, explain what they saw from the pilot program and what they recommend the Federal Acquisition Service should do moving forward.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Sign of quality of life in GiveWell's analyses, published by brb243 on October 16, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Content information: This post discusses that lives can be valued negatively by intended beneficiaries. TLDR: GiveWell can include the sign of life quality variable in its analyses. Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention (CPSP) In January 2021, GiveWell recommended an approximately $7 million general support grant for the Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention (CPSP). The Centre supports the deregistration of pesticides commonly used in suicide. GiveWell assumes that the Centre accelerates the pesticide deregistration by 9 years in each of the countries of operation. The number of lives saved is calculated as the difference between the numbers of lives saved in different policy scenarios weighted by these scenarios' probabilities and the counterfactual improvement in pesticide suicide rates, as extrapolated from past trends. 25,938 lives are expected to be saved. The assumption that the intended beneficiaries would otherwise suicide can suggest that they value their lives negatively. GiveWell assumes that as a result of the pesticide deregistration, agricultural productivity decreases by 30%. The effects of this estimated productivity decrease on the quality of the intended beneficiaries' lives is not discussed. CPSP-promoted pesticide bans would affect entire nations with large farming populations, who live in extreme and national poverty. A 30% decrease in yield can result in increased hunger levels and decreased income levels, which can negatively affect the health and quality of life of millions of people. If the decreases in health and life quality cause a large percentage of farmers to value their lives negatively, support of CPSP can cause millions of people to live dissatisfied. Thus, while CPSP is expected to save thousands of lives, it can also cause millions to live dissatisfied. Malaria vaccination in Kenya The Measuring people's preferences IDinsight survey shows that the average life satisfaction score of Kenyan respondents is 2.3/10 (n = 1,808, SD = 2.32) (p. 42). If the neutral point, “the point where someone is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied,” is above 2.3/10, reducing mortality in Kenya by malaria vaccination can save lives of dissatisfaction. A small-scale (n=30) survey that I conducted in early 2021 in a Kenyan slum suggests that many respondents can value their lives negatively. Respondents were asked to label death and their quality of life on a visual analog scale (arrow) from the worst and the best imaginable situation. If worst corresponds to -1, death to 0, and best to 1, the average quality of life was -0.18, with a standard deviation of 0.40 (column AC). On average, respondents wanted to live 13 additional years (SD=26), while the median was 2 additional years. The wording of the quality of life questions and their survey context can be assessed as leading, which can suggest low quality of data. If you mai[n]tain your lifestyle and the future is what you expect it to be, how many more years starting from now do you want to live? You can say anything from 0 to forever. Where do you place death on this arrow? Please put a line there and write "0." . Where do you place yourself on this arrow? Please put a line there and write "myself." A local enumerator familiar with the area collected the data, while knowing that it is gathered for informational purposes only, without a possible benefit of answering in any specific way. While some (globally poor) respondents accepted a small stipend for their time (which is a custom in the area), many were happy to share their responses without a stipend. This can suggest that respondents answered relatively honestly, with little experimenter bias. This survey shows that the quality...

Rhizome extract said to have anti-ageing and anti-diabetic effects Oryza Chemical (Thailand), Black ginger extract could have important implications for healthy ageing and diabetes, as well as athletic performance. Presented in Bangkok by Oryza Oil & Fat Chemical's Masami Kawaziri, the herbaceous plant is also called black turmeric in Japan, and krachai dum in its country of origin, Thailand. The plant's extract has been used in Thailand for many years as a traditional medicine to boost energy and relieve gastrointestinal problems, and more recently, researchers in Asia have been looking into its benefits for seniors, diabetics and sportspersons. Energising results Its polymethoxyflavones are said to enhance energy production, thereby improving glucose, fat and lipid metabolism. This can either prevent metabolic syndrome, or aid in treating diabetes. The boost in energy production also helps to enhance athletic performance and recovery. Kawaziri shared the results of a 2016 study on the effects of black ginger extract intake on physical strength, skin condition, post-exercise fatigue, and general fatigue. Subjects who had been given the extract reported an increase in strength, and being less fatigued overall and after exercise. Brains and brawn Kawaziri said this was important for the elderly as well, since the extract is believed to minimise muscle loss. He added that the extract could play a part in “preventing poor blood circulation” and lowering blood pressure. Furthermore, he said the extract could help to enhance and maintain cognitive function, delaying or perhaps even preventing diseases like Alzheimer's. Higher levels of fluoride in pregnant woman linked to lower intelligence in their children University of Toronto Fluoride in the urine of pregnant women shows a correlation with lower measures of intelligence in their children, according to University of Toronto researchers who conducted the first study of its kind and size to examine fluoride exposure and multiple states of neurodevelopment. “Our study shows that the growing fetal nervous system may be adversely affected by higher levels of fluoride exposure,” said Dr. Howard Hu, the study's principal investigator and professor of environmental health, epidemiology and global health at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. “It also suggests that the prenatal nervous system may be more sensitive to fluoride compared to that of school-aged children.” Tap water and dental products have been fluoridated in communities in Canada and the United States (as well as milk and table salt in some other countries) by varying amounts for more than 60 years to prevent cavities and improve bone health. In recent years, fierce debate over the safety of water fluoridation – particularly for children's developing brains – has fuelled researchers to explore the issue and provide evidence to inform national drinking water standards. There are some known side effects of fluoride. For example, dental defects like mild staining are common among those ingesting recommended levels of fluoride in the United States and Canada. Skeletal fluorosis – excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones – is much less common and only observed at levels of fluoride in the water that are more than five to 10 times higher than those recommended. “Relatively little is known, with confidence, about fluoride's impact on neurodevelopment,” said Hu, whose research team included experts from U of T, National Institute of Public Health of Mexico, University of Michigan, McGill University, Indiana University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine and Harvard School of Public Health. The study, “Prenatal Fluoride Exposure and Cognitive Outcomes in Children at 4 and 6-12 Years of Age in Mexico,” published today in Environmental Health Perspectives, analyzed data from 287 mother-child pairs in Mexico City that were part of the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) project, which recruited pregnant women from 1994 to 2005 and has continued to follow the women and their children ever since. The research team analyzed urine samples that had been taken from mothers during pregnancy and from their children between six and 12 years of age to reconstruct personal measures of fluoride exposure for both mother and child. “This is significant because previous studies estimated exposures based on neighbourhood measurements of drinking water fluoride levels, which are indirect and much less precise measures of exposure. They also looked at children's exposures instead of prenatal exposures or had much smaller sample sizes of subjects to study,” said Dr. Hu. The researchers then analyzed how levels of fluoride in urine related to the children's verbal, perceptual-performance, quantitative, memory, and motor abilities at age four and once more between the ages of six and 12. Analyses were adjusted for other factors known to impact neurodevelopment, such as gestational age at birth, birthweight, birth order, sex, maternal marital status, smoking history, age at delivery, IQ, education, socioeconomic status and lead exposure. With regard to the study's implications for populations in North America, researchers found that urinary fluoride levels in pregnant women were somewhat higher than, but within the general range of, urinary fluoride levels seen in non-pregnant general populations in Canada and the United States. However, in Dr. Hu's opinion, the findings do not provide enough information to suggest there is no safe level of fluoride exposure. “The potential risks associated with fluoride should be further studied, particularly among vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children, and more research on fluoride's impact on the developing brain is clearly needed.” Polyphenol blend may boost post-exercise recovery: RCT University of Murcia (Spain), and the University of Montpellier (France) Daily supplementation with a blend of extracts from mangosteen, elderberry, and pomegranate may delay muscle soreness and help manage post-exercise recovery, says a new study. Consumption of Fytexia's polyphenol-rich ingredient branded TensLess was associated with a 28% reduction in the perception of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), compared with a placebo group, according to results of a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Biomarkers of muscle damage were also reduced, in correlation with the decreases in DOMS, reported scientists from Fytexia (France), Catholic University of Murcia (Spain), and the University of Montpellier (France) in the journal Phytotherapy Research . “This prospective study highlights the beneficial, both acute and sub-chronic effects of the supplementation with TensLess, a polyphenol-rich extract-based food supplement, on adverse symptoms associated with DOMS, namely eccentric exercise-related markers of muscle impairment,” they wrote. Study details The researchers recruited 13 recreationally active athletes (men and women) to participate in their study. Participants were randomly assigned to consume placebo or 1.5 grams per day of TensLess, composed of polyphenol-rich extracts from mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), and black elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) combination for five days. All of the study participants performed an eccentric exercise protocol on day one of the study, and DOMS and biomarkers of muscle damage were monitored for four more days. This was then followed by a three-week “washout” period before they were crossed over to the other group for five more days. The results showed that TensLess supplementation provided a significant 33% decrease in DOMS perception as early as the first 24 hours following physical exercise, compared to placebo. In addition to this acute benefit, a 28% reduction in DOMS perception was reported compared to the placebo group for the full duration of the study. These effects were correlated with a lower levels of muscle damage-associated biomarkers, specifically creatine kinase, creatinine and myoglobin during the 4 days post-workout, added the researchers. Taken together, these positive results clearly indicate that post-exercise supplementation with TensLess may preserve myocytes and reduce soreness following eccentric exercise-induced damages, and, accordingly, significantly shorten muscle recovery. Study supports efficacy of hyaluronan for wrinkle reduction Toho University Ohashi Medical Center (Japan) Twelve weeks of supplementation with hyaluronan – also known as hyaluronic acid – may improve the “luster” of the skin and reduce wrinkles, says a new study from Japan. Data from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 60 adults indicated that 120 milligrams per day of Kewpie's hyaluronan ingredients Hyabest (A) and Hyabest (S) LF-P also led to improvements in skin suppleness. “This study showed that the oral ingestion of the [molecular weight] 2 k or 300 k [hyaluronic acid] for 12 weeks suppresses wrinkles and improves the skin's luster and suppleness in people aged 59 years or less who were healthy Japanese men and women over 22 years old. From the above, [hyaluronic acid] consumption is expected to be used as a method to maintain healthy skin,” wrote researchers from Kewpie Corporation and the Toho University Ohashi Medical Center in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology . Kewpie Corp funded the study. HA and skin The skin contains about 50% of the body's hyaluronan (HA), a component present in every connective tissue. Degradation of HA and collagen is reported to be a cause of wrinkles, with many ingredient suppliers exploring the potential of supplementation to improve skin health from within. Scientists from Kewpie authored a review i published in the Nutrition Journal, which concluded: “The reduction of HA in the skin by intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as aging and ultraviolet radiation, smoking and air pollutants induce dryness in the skin. However, daily HA supplements can moisturize the skin because the metabolites of HA increases the skin moisture content by having an effect on the skin cells. Thus, consuming HA affects skin cell and improves dry skin physiologically. “This review shows that consuming HA moisturizes the skin and employing HA as a dietary supplement makes the skin healthy. We believe that countries worldwide will benefit from this review and consume HA to alleviate dry skin.” The new double-blinded, placebo-controlled study adds to this body of evidence and investigated the effects of the ingredient on wrinkles. The researchers recruited 60 Japanese men and women aged between 22 and 59 to participate in their study. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Placebo, or a HA formulation using one of two varieties, with a molecular weight of 2k or 300k (Hyabest (A) and Hyabest (S) LF-P, respectively). Both groups received a dosage of 120 mg per day. Three-dimensional analysis of their skin indicated that the HA groups showed a better level of the whole sulcus (grooves in the skin) to volume ratio, wrinkle area ratio, and wrinkle volume ratio, compared to placebo and baseline values. However, only the 300 k (Hyabest (S) LF-P) group showed significantly diminished wrinkles compared with the placebo group. Exercise can make cells healthier, promoting longer life, study finds University of Virginia Whether it's running, walking, cycling, swimming or rowing, it's been well-known since ancient times that doing some form of aerobic exercise is essential to good health and well-being. You can lose weight, sleep better, fight stress and high blood pressure, improve your mood, plus strengthen bones and muscles. “Whether muscle is healthy or not really determines whether the entire body is healthy or not,” said Zhen Yan of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. “And exercise capacity, mainly determined by muscle size and function, is the best predictor of mortality in the general population.” Yan and colleagues have completed a study in mice that, for the first time, shows that just one bout of moderate-to-intense exercise acts as a “stress test” on mitochondria in muscles. They discovered that this “stress test” induced by aerobic exercise triggers a process called mitophagy, where the muscle disposes of the damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria, making the muscle healthier. Yan compares exercise-induced mitophagy to a state vehicle inspection that removes damaged cars from the streets. “Aerobic exercise removes damaged mitochondria in skeletal muscle,” Yan said. “If you do it repeatedly, you keep removing the damaged ones. You have a better muscle with better mitochondrial quality. We clean up the clunkers, now the city, the cell, is full of healthy, functional cars.” How Exercise Removes Mitochondria ‘Clunkers' For this study, Yan and colleagues assessed the skeletal muscle of a mouse model where they had added a mitochondrial reporter gene called “pMitoTimer.” The mitochondria fluoresce green when they are healthy and turn red when damaged and broken down by the cell's waste-disposal system, the lysosomes. The mice ran on a small treadmill for 90 minutes and Yan's team observed mitochondrial stress (signs of “state inspection”) and some mitophagy (towing of the clunkers) at six hours after exercise. Yan explained that exercise in these mice also stimulated a kinase called AMPK, which in turn switched on another kinase, Ulk1. These chemical reactions appear to be important in control of the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria. “When its turned on, Ulk1 activates other components in the cell to execute the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria,” Yan said. “It's analogous to a 911 call where a tow truck removes the clunkers. However, we still do not know how these activities are coordinated.” LED lights safer, more effective in producing Vitamin D3 than sunlight Boston University Research published in Scientific Reports showsthat light from RayVio's 293nm ultraviolet (UV) LED is more efficient than sunlight at producing vitamin D3 in skin samples. Tyler Kalajian and his research team, led by Dr. Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D., and supported by Boston University School of Medicine and a Boston University Ignition Award, found that skin samples exposed to RayVio's UV LED for just 0.52 minutes produced more than twice as much vitamin D3 as samples exposed to 32.5 minutes of sunlight. “We tested ultraviolet LEDs from different sources and at different wavelengths. LED showed the most significantpotential for vitamin D3 production in the shortest amount of time,” said Dr. Holick, a Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Biophysics atBoston University School of Medicine, and endocrinologist at BostonMedical Center. “This study will lead to a new generation of technologythat can be labeled as photopharmacology in which the use of LEDswith targeted wavelengths can cause specific biologic effects in humanskin to help treat and prevent chronic illnesses.” Vitamin D deficiency is associated with osteoporosis, rickets and other metabolic bone diseases and is more prevalent in northern and southern latitudes where sunlight is limited for a significant part of the year. This device for making vitamin D is ideally suited for patients with fat malabsorption syndromes including inflammatory bowel disease and gastric bypass surgery. The research shows that LEDs could be used for treating patients that are vitamin D deficient. A vitamin D3 producing UV LED device could be used on skin areas that experience less exposure to sunlight such as upper legs and arms and abdomen and back thus minimizing risk for developing non-melanoma skin cancer. The UV LED device also emits a much narrower band of UVB light and thereby decreasing likelihood of skin damage that can occur when the skin is exposed to higher wavelengths of UV radiation.
