Abstract:This article examines the pattern of emigration from the Spanish province of Teruel to California during the first third of the twentieth century. It is based on oral interviews and written sources in both Spain and the United States and on significant detective work. The resulting demographic profile of emigrants from Teruel indicates the significance of the emigration phenomenon, and reveals the origins, transportation and admissions challenges, and the destinations of individuals wh omoved to California for work. In addition, it sheds light on the reasons that motivated hundreds of people from Teruel, knownas Turolenses in Spanish, to leave their place of origin and travel thousands of miles by sea and land to California in search of a better future for themselves and their families. This is a timely article, marking the centenary of the largest emigration from Teruel to North America.

Abstract:Glen Creason, the longtime Map Librarian of the Los Angeles Public Library, acquaints readers with six cartographers, most of them little-known today, whose work between the 1840s and 1940s shaped Los Angeles, preserved its history, and made the city accessible to visitors and Angelenos alike.

Background: Tafamidis has emerged as an effective treatment for patients with wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt CA). The early experience of tafamidis treatment for Japanese patients with ATTRwt CA is reported here.
Methods and results: Over the past 2 years, in 82 patients with ATTRwt CA (mean age of 81.7±6.0 years), tafamidis treatment was initiated for 38 patients. The remaining 44 patients were not administered tafamidis. The most frequent reason for non-administration of tafamidis was advanced heart failure and the second most reason was the patient's frailty. In patients who received tafamidis treatment, there was no discontinuation of tafamidis due to adverse events, the rate of cardiovascular-related hospitalizations per year was 0.19, and the 1-year survival rate was 92%. In the patients who continued tafamidis for 12-18 months, there was no significant deterioration from baseline for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T level, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide level, left ventricular ejection fraction, inter-ventricular septum wall thickness, or value of left ventricular longitudinal strain.
Conclusions: Tafamidis treatment was introduced for approximately half of the study patients with ATTRwt CA in real-world practice. Tafamidis is likely to be safe and may maintain the status of disease severity in the short-term in selected Japanese patients with ATTRwt CA. Further research is needed to determine appropriate patient selection for tafamidis treatment and efficacy of tafamidis in the long term.
背景:他法米迪已成为治疗野生型转甲状腺素心脏淀粉样变性(ATTRwt CA)患者的有效药物。本文报告了他法米迪治疗日本 ATTRwt CA 患者的早期经验:过去两年中,82 名 ATTRwt CA 患者(平均年龄为 81.7±6.0 岁)中有 38 人开始接受他法米迪治疗。其余 44 名患者未使用他法米迪。未使用他法米迪的最常见原因是心力衰竭晚期,其次是患者体质虚弱。在接受他法米迪治疗的患者中,没有人因不良反应而停用他法米迪,每年心血管相关住院率为 0.19,1 年生存率为 92%。在持续服用他法米迪12-18个月的患者中,高敏心肌肌钙蛋白T水平、血浆B型钠尿肽水平、左室射血分数、室间隔壁厚度或左室纵向应变值与基线相比均无明显恶化:在真实世界的实践中,研究对象中约有一半的 ATTRwt CA 患者接受了塔法米地治疗。塔法米地斯可能是安全的,并可在短期内维持部分日本 ATTRwt CA 患者的疾病严重程度。要确定塔法米地治疗的适当患者选择和塔法米地的长期疗效,还需要进一步的研究。

The State of California’s main tool for housing planning is legislation mandating a “Housing Element” as a component of all cities’ and counties’ comprehensive plans. Each local jurisdiction must demonstrate how it can meet the state’s calculated “Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The article traces the roots of this state requirement from an earlier Regional Housing Allocation Model (RHAM), which was merely a guideline. To ensure compliance, the legislature barred courts from intervening in the RHNA process. Nevertheless, it has taken four decades for California’s local jurisdictions to adopt legally adequate Housing Elements.
