Background/Purpose: The myositis syndromes are rare systemic autoimmune diseases with poorly understood etiologies. We present the demographics, illness features and treatments of patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) who enrolled in a newly created national registry. Methods: Using a patient database from The Myositis Association and supplemental advertisements, a national registry of myositis patients was established. Between December 2010 and July 2012 questionnaires were mailed to 8847 myositis patients in the US and Canada. The questionnaire queried demographics, clinical features, environmental exposures, and quality of life. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analysis were computed using GraphPad Prysm and SAS. Results: 1956 patients (22%) returned the questionnaire and consented to participate; 1806 who met probable or definite Bohan and Peter criteria for myositis were included (708 DM, 483 PM, 466 IBM, 139 JDM, 10 JPM); juvenile patients were diagnosed before age 18 years. Of the 139 JDM patients, the median age at diagnosis was 6.9 years and median disease duration at enrollment was 10.3 years. Most JDM patients were female (78%) and Non-Hispanic Caucasian (88%), and the remainder were Hispanic (6.5%), Asian (2.9%), multiple races (2.2%), and Black (0.7%). Patients or their parents often completed a graduate degree (23%) or college degree (29%). JDM patients were primarily diagnosed by a pediatric rheumatologist (48%), with adult and pediatric dermatologists (22%), pediatric neurologists and primary care physicians (11% each) diagnosing most of the remaining patients; 67% were under the care of a pediatric rheumatologist. JDM patients frequently had skin rashes as a major manifestation (86%); arthritis (35%) and dysphagia (32%) were also common, whereas lung disease (12%) was less frequent. An additional autoimmune disease was present in 18% of JDM patients, with JIA (8%) and SLE and celiac disease (3% each) the most frequ
We introduce the Piquasso quantum programming framework, a full-stack open-source software platform for the simulation and programming of photonic quantum computers. Piquasso can be programmed via a high-level Python ...

Birnbaum, L.S.Bukzin, E.A.Saroyan, J.R.Leon S. Birnbaum holds a B.S. degree in Chemistry from City College of New York. He has completed graduate work in Chemistry at the University of Maryland and Temple University
and in Technology and Management at American University. He has been with the Navy Department Washington since 1949 and is currently Head of the Coatings and Chemistry Branch of the Materials Development and Application Office of the Naval Ship Engineering Center. Responsibilities of this Branch include such items as coatings corrosion control techniques insulation chemical cleaning water treatment toxicology and detection and decontamination of biological and chemical warfare agents. Prior to this Mr. Birnbaum was employed in the Industrial Test Laboratory Philadelphia Naval Shipyard from 1938 to 1949. Work during this period included supervision of a section which inspected paints and allied materials and petroleum products to determine their suitability for Naval use and direction of research in fire retardant treatments. He is a member of the American Chemical Society
Washington Paint Technical Group. National Association of Corrosion Engineers and the American Society of Naval Engineers. Mr. Bukzin is a research and development program manager in the Naval Ship Systems Command of the Department of the Navy in the fields of non-metallic materials
fuels lubricants cold weather operations and several other areas. He is a graduate chemical engineer from New York University with additional training in naval architecture and management which culminated in his participation in the Senior Development Program at Cornell University during the summer of 1960. He has been employed by the Command and its predecessor for the past 2b years and has been in his present position of R&D planning and programming for the past six years. Prior to that his major technical responsibilities were in the field of elastomers and their applications. He received several awards and published a number of papers during those years.
