 a normative data set for commonly measured cardiac structures in a cohort of premature infants.
 
 
 Methods and Results:
 Single center retrospective echocardiographic study in a cohort of premature infants without congenital heart disease. A total of 184 infants admitted at the University of Iowa’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between 2009-2019 were included in the study. All infants were between 23 to 26- and 6/7-weeks gestational age. We considered patients with a patent ductus arteriosus and/or a patent foramen ovale as having normal intra-cardiac anatomy given their prematurity. Some infants had numerous echocardiograms during this time interval which resulted in 439 utilized echocardiogram. Each echocardiogram used was interpreted individually regardless if the patient had multiple between the gestational ages of 23 and 26- and 6/7-weeks. Commonly examined cardiac structures were assessed via 2-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography. The mean and standard deviations were obtained for each cardiac structure and grouped by week of gestational age (
 Table 1
 ).
 
 
 Conclusions:
 We present normative data for commonly measured cardiac structures based on gestational age in a premature patient population. This information is valuable for clinicians to assess for appropriate cardiac structural development and may be utilized to guide clinical management and need for possible intervention as the child continues to develop and grow.
 
 
 
Player-run governments and economies are a few of the unique aspects of Chronicles of Elyria. When we discussed kingdoms and land management in a previous design journal, we detailed the duties and responsibilities for the gentry, aristocracy, and nobility. Today, we're announcing the official kingdoms for each of the servers at launch.
What does this mean for you? Nobility structures can be built with assurance about what server they will coexist on. If you are playing the Dance of Dynasties, the politics and subterfuge can now be server-specific. Organizations and land owners can begin to negotiate where they want to plant their flag. There are big repercussions, too. Every player is effected by the kingdoms on any given server, even if you don't know the tribes in the kingdoms at the moment. Stakes are in the ground and the game is in motion!
So now is the time for you to learn about the kingdoms in your region and determine if you would like to settle or begin in one based on their goals. While some of you want to choose based on tribe choice, others may want to find a land they believe in, so now's the time! Start connecting with other kingdoms and organizations and build your community in Chronicles of Elyria.
To help you connect with other players, we'll outline recruitment threads and/or Discord links for each of the monarchies listed below. There are a few things to note. On the Luna server, there is still an open monarch slot. We currently discussing the plan regarding this open slot. Also on the Luna server, Vornair holds two monarchy slots, although they are only listed once on the list below. It's a similar scenario on the Selene server, as Demalion holds two monarch slots as well.
As we get closer to land and settlement selection next year, we'll learn more about these monarchies, and how players will be able to start to shape the world of Elyria.
Note: The 4th kingdom in OCE is Caprakan, not Sokara as the image above incorrectly states.
As always, be sure to follow our Twitter and Facebook channels to stay up to date with the latest news and announcements.

More than 1,900 surveys in more than 40 countries have already taken place, and more than 6 million people across four continents have been examined.
Working in some of the most remote and difficult environments, the service helps countries to collect high-quality, standardised data, and there are plans to extend the service to support other neglected tropical diseases.
The main website contains further information and resources, and enables programmes to request a survey and manage their data.Visit tropicaldata.org
Smartphone technology is just one aspect of the service. Data is sent from the field to the secure cloud-based server, where a data team works with health ministry staff to clean, analyse and approve the data, much faster than previous paper-based surveys. The service also provides epidemiological support to countries to develop their surveys, and a globally standardised training system.
With the evidence generated by the Tropical Data project, ministries of health are able to pinpoint exactly where to run trachoma treatment programmes and offer life-changing support. It also highlights where treatment programmes are no longer needed because interventions have been a success. Crucially, this helps countries gather evidence for the World Health Organization to show where they are free from the disease, so trachoma elimination can be declared.
Tropical Data is run by a consortium of partners including the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI), the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, RTI International and Sightsavers. It is made possible thanks to the support of governments in endemic countries, plus UK aid, USAID and The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust.

The Global Trachoma Mapping Project has come to an end after seeing hundreds of surveyors collect and transmit data from 2.6 million people in 29 countries.

750 laptops have been distributed to students of four tertiary students in Imo state state courtesy of governor Okorocha.
No fewer than 750 laptops have been donated by Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha to students of tertiary institutions the state as part of his ICT education drive.
The governor's Special Assistant (SA) on Students Affairs, Godstime Samuel, said the donation is in line with Okorocha's promise to make every student in the state ICT compliant.
"Every student must see this era as an era of capacity building because Okorocha has provided the enabling environment for any student to excel," Samuel said.
The Special Adviser urged the students to take the opportunity to develop themselves with ICT knowledge, adding that the government intends to establish a training centre where various skills will be taught."
gathered that the beneficiaries were drawn from 2 polytechnics and two universities; the Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri; the Imo Polytechnic, Umuagwo; Federal University of Technology (FUTO), Owerri and Federal Polytechnic, Nekede.
The President, National Union of Imo State Students, Miss Chidera Apuwara, lauded the state's free education policy.
“Majority of our students who will have become either doctors or lawyers have ended up becoming motor mechanics due to financial constraints," Apuwara said.
She thanked Okorocha for the laptops and called for a Federal law institution free education in Nigeria.
Okorocha, at a time when most governors say it is impractical to implement free education, has successfully provided same in Imo State.Sherwin-Williams Co. stock outperforms market despite losses on the day
