Sport-Related Concussion in Pediatric Athletes

define concussion as “a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces. ” 2,3 Features used in defining concussion include: (1) trauma including a direct blow to the head, neck or face, or a blow to another part of the body which transmits an impulsive force to the head ; (2) rapid onset of short-lived neurological impairment which spontaneously resolves; (3) acute clinical symptoms of concussion reflecting a functional injury rather than a structural abnormality; (4) a graded set of clinical syndromes, which may or may not involve loss of consciousness and which resolve in a sequential course; and (5) typically normal structural neuroimaging. The majority of concussions do not result in a loss of consciousness or cause only a transient loss of consciousness (less than a minute).
Infant Pacifiers: An Overview

Toward the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the infant pacifier as we know it was introduced. The first latex rubber teat-shaped comforter with its distinctive guard and handle was patented in the United States around 1900. Its original purposes were to soothe cranky or colicy babies, promote and continue restful sleep, and reduce the pain of teething. Infants have an intense drive to suck that is separate from the drive to drink. This desire is stronger when the infant is tired, anxious, or uncomfortable. Today’s pacifiers are made of silicone rather than latex for several reasons, including problems with latex allergy, the fact that latex surface is conducive to biofilm production and contamination by oral flora, and that latex fails to retain its firmness and surface integrity after repeated exposure to warm water or saliva. Silicone is comprised of synthetic polymers that are relatively chemically inert, are stable at high temperatures, do not fissure, and are resistant to oxidation. Many less-expensive pacifiers from China, however, continue to be made from latex.
Re-enactment and its information practices; tensions between the individual and the collective

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the practices used by Australian re-enactors to achieve authenticity, a communally agreed measure of acceptability in the creation of an impression, the dress, behaviours and accoutrements of the period, through the concepts of serious leisure and information practices. Design/methodology/approach – Re-enactment is a practical, information-based performative activity. In this paper, the research styles and decision-making processes developed and employed by its enthusiasts to create authentic impressions are examined through an ethnographic case study. Findings – The re-enactors are identified as “makers and tinkerers”, in Stebbins’s categorisation of serious leisure. Research, documentation and the sharing of information, knowledge and skills are common practices among re-enactors and acknowledged as integral to the processes of creating an impression to a collectively agreed standard of authenticity. Re-enactors’ “making” includes not only the creation o.
On pattern selection for laparoscope calibration

Camera calibration is a key requirement for augmented reality in surgery. Calibration of laparoscopes provides two challenges that are not sufficiently addressed in the literature. In the case of stereo laparoscopes the small distance (less than 5mm) between the channels means that the calibration pattern is an order of magnitude more distant than the stereo separation. For laparoscopes in general, if an external tracking system is used, hand-eye calibration is difficult due to the long length of the laparoscope. Laparoscope intrinsic, stereo and hand-eye calibration all rely on accurate feature point selection and accurate estimation of the camera pose with respect to a calibration pattern. We compare 3 calibration patterns, chessboard, rings, and AprilTags. We measure the error in estimating the camera intrinsic parameters and the camera poses. Accuracy of camera pose estimation will determine the accuracy with which subsequent stereo or hand-eye calibration can be done. We compare the results of repeated real calibrations and simulations using idealised noise, to determine the expected accuracy of different methods and the sources of error. The results do indicate that feature detection based on rings is more accurate than a chessboard, however this doesn’t necessarily lead to a better calibration. Using a grid with identifiable tags enables detection of features nearer the image boundary, which may improve calibration.
Impact of a Medication Card on Compliance in Older People

Medication compliance is often poor amongst older people, and this can contribute to adverse drug reactions, therapeutic inefficiency and associated increase in morbidity. This study was conducted among outpatients to assess the impact of a medication card as a counselling aid to increase knowledge about medications and increase drug compliance. Patients were randomly assigned to Group A, which received counselling only, from a pharmacist, or to Group B, which received both counselling and a medication card from the pharmacist. Knowledge improvement for patients in Group B was significant, compared with patients in Group A, t = 9.82, p < 0.001. The compliance of patients in Group A and in Group B, were respectively, (mean ± S.D) 87.5 ± 15.1 v 92.5 ± 11.9, t = 1.76, p = 0.082. The results of this study show that a medication card can increase medication knowledge and may aid compliance.
Anticipatory Guidance for Prevention of Childhood Obesity: Design of the MOMS Project

The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in the United States has increased by more than 100% since 1971. Primary care clinicians have a unique opportunity to influence child health during the first year of life via anticipatory guidance (AG). However, little is known about whether AG regarding feeding and meal structure is effective in promoting optimal nutrition and eating behaviors. The purpose of this project, “Making our Mealtimes Special” (MOMS), was to assess 2 distinct methods of pediatric AG during infancy versus a “usual care” condition, with the ultimate goal of prevention of childhood overweight and obesity. The purpose of this article is to describe the ( a) study design and rationale, (b) implementation plan, (c ) assessment of outcomes, and (d) population enrolled. This project will generate important information on the usefulness of nutritional AG during the first year of life in promoting healthy eating behaviors during early childhood.
Guidelines for mandated documents: Law enforcement and intimate partner violence survivors

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present findings on the efficacy of documents that US police are required to provide to domestic violence survivors, specifically intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors. Triangulating data from survivors, shelter staff, and law enforcement officers across four stages of IPV experiences, this national study identifies priorities among essential information needs and proposes information guidelines for law enforcement. Design/methodology/approach – A nationally distributed, 13-item, e-mail questionnaire was submitted to a stratified sample (ten largest, median, and smallest) of law enforcement agencies in all 50 states. Domestic violence shelters in each of the 1,500 cities were similarly recruited; survivors were recruited indirectly via shelter staff. The questions were clustered in terms of four common situations. Responses from 839 individuals were obtained, self-identified as police officers (481), shelter staff (263), and IPV survivors (95). Findings – Docu.
The conceptual landscape of digital curation

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to define and describe digital curation, an emerging field of theory and practice in the information professions that embraces digital preservation, data curation, and management of information assets over their lifecycle. It dissects key issues and debates in the area while arguing that digital curation is a vital strategy for dealing with the so-called data deluge. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores digital curation’s potential to provide an improved return on investment in data work. Findings A vital counterweight to the problem of data loss, digital curation also adds value to trusted data assets for current and future use. This paper unpacks data, the research enterprise, the roles and responsibilities of digital curation professionals, the data lifecycle, metadata, sharing and reuse, scholarly communication (cyberscholarship, publication and citation, and rights), infrastructure (archives, centers, libraries, and institutional repositories), and overarching issues (standards, governance and policy, planning and data management plans, risk management, evaluation, and metrics, sustainability, and outreach). Originality/value A critical discussion that focusses on North America and the UK, this paper synthesizes previous findings and conclusions in the area of digital curation. It has value for digital curation professionals and researchers as well as students in library and information science who may deal with data in the future. This paper helps potential stakeholders understand the intellectual and practical framework and the importance of digital curation in adding value to scholarly (science, social science, and humanities) and other types of data. This paper suggests the need for further empirical research, not only in exploring the actual sharing and reuse practices of various sectors, disciplines, and domains, but also in considering the the data lifecycle, the potential role of archivists, funding and sustainability, outreach and awareness-raising, and metrics.
Effect of NSAIDs on risk of Alzheimer's disease:

Editor—We agree with Robertson that confounding may explain the potential protective benefit of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in our meta-analysis. We specifically addressed the issue of confounding in the discussion of our paper. We also agree that the results of our meta-analysis are purely hypothesis generating and that a cause and effect relationship cannot be inferred from our results. Robertson refers to a recent randomised trial that found no benefit with the use of NSAIDs.1 This study is a secondary prevention trial in subjects whose Alzheimer's disease has already been diagnosed, with one year follow up. Our meta-analysis attempts to answer a different question: mainly whether NSAIDs can prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's disease anti-inflammatory prevention trial (ADAPT) is currently comparing naproxen and celecoxib in the primary prevention of Alzheimer's disease.2 The results of this large randomised trial may finally shed light on this question.
Evaluation of a 2-Question Screening Tool for Detecting Depression in Adolescents in Primary Care

Eighty-five adolescents (ages 13 to 17), recruited from various metropolitan pediatric outpatient clinics, were administered the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2, a two-item depression screener, along with two other well-established measures of depression, the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results indicated a significant relationship between the second question of the PHQ-2 and the two established measures of depression. Discriminant function analysis revealed that classification of adolescents as depressed or not depressed on the basis of their responses to this second question resulted in correct classification of 73% of adolescents with a sensitivity of 0.48 and specificity of 0.60. The use of both questions resulted in lower classification accuracy (67%) but a higher sensitivity of 0.85 and a slightly lower specificity of 0.51 than either question alone. These results support the use of this measure as a brief screener for adolescent depression in primary care.
Impact of road surfaces on millimeter-wave propagation

Future intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) will deeply rely on millimeter waves for communication and sensing purposes. This results in the need of a precise description of the propagation properties at these frequencies. In this paper, the propagation mechanisms reflection and diffraction of millimeter waves at realistic road surfaces and geometries are investigated theoretically and validated by measurements at 77 GHz. The effect of guided waves underneath a vehicle's underbody is observed, which can be exploited in a favorable way for range extension in obstructed sight situations. It is also shown that the local curvature of common road surfaces leads to focusing and defocusing effects of the transmitted energy, resulting in an increased signal fluctuation. Furthermore, the importance of diffraction phenomena at road crests is stressed, which were formerly neglected but may play an important role in security sensitive applications like collision avoidance systems etc.
The Utility of Alkaline Phosphatase Measurement as a Screening Test for Rickets in Breast-fed Infants and Toddlers: A Study From the Puget Sound Pediatric Research Network

To determine if alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels are a useful screening test for rickets, the authors measured serum AP levels in children 6 to 15 months old who were predominantly breast-fed for >" xbd="1702" xhg="1679" ybd="1238" yhg="1210"/>6 months without vitamin D supplementation. Radiographs were obtained on children with elevated AP levels to determine the presence of rickets. AP levels were obtained on 246 children; levels were elevated in 33 (13.4%). Rickets was present in 4 of 18 children with elevated levels on whom radiographs were obtained. The sensitivity and specificity of AP levels as a test for rickets was maximal at a cutoff value of 552 U/L. Using this cutoff value, the specificity of AP levels as a test for rickets was 97.4%, and the positive predictive value (PPV) was 40.0%. These results suggest that AP levels may be a useful screening test for rickets in children who are breast-fed for prolonged periods without vitamin D supplementation.
How hospitalists work to pull healthcare teams together.

PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to document everyday practices by which hospitalist physicians negotiate barriers to effective teamwork. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Ethnographic observation with a sample of hospitalists chosen to represent a range of hospital and practice types. FINDINGS Hospitals rely on effective, interprofessional teamwork but typically do not support it. Hospitalist physicians must bridge the internal boundaries within their hospitals to coordinate their patients' care, but they face challenges - scattered patients, fragmented information, uncoordinated teams, and unreliable processes - that can impact the timeliness and safety of care. Hospitalists largely rely on personal presence and memory to deal with these challenges. Some invent low-tech supports for teamwork, but these are typically neither tested nor shared with others. Formal support for teamwork, primarily case management rounds, is applied unevenly and may not be respected by all team members. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS The findings are drawn from observation over a limited period of time with a small, purposefully chosen sample of physicians and hospitals. Practical implications - Hospitals must recognize the issues hospitalists and other providers face, evaluate and disseminate supports for teamwork, and make interprofessional teamwork a core feature of hospital design and evaluation. ORIGINALITY/VALUE The authors show the nuances of how hospitalists struggle to practice teamwork in a challenging context, and how the approaches they take (relying on memory and personal presence) do not address, and may actually contribute to, the system-level problems they face.
How Multimedia Workloads Will Change Processor Design

Workloads drive architecture design and will change in the next two decades. For high-performance, general-purpose processors, there is a consensus that multimedia will continue to grow in importance. The authors predict these processors will incorporate more media processing capabilities, eventually bringing about the demise of specialized media processors, except perhaps, in embedded applications. These enhanced general-purpose processor capabilities will arise from multimedia applications that require real-time response, continuous-media data types and significant fine-grained data parallelism.
High-Dose Tissue Plasminogen Activator, Topical Nitroglycerin, and Heparin for Severe Ischemic Injury in a Neonate

Arterial occlusion resulting from thrombi, emboli, or vasospasm is one of several complications of femoral artery (FA) catheterization in neonates. Severe ischemia of the affected limb might result in amputation, limb deformity, and loss of function if aggressive treatment is not undertaken. Because surgery is the last resort and is of limited benefit in neonates, thrombolytic therapy and anticoagulation are the initial treatments of choice. To our knowledge, we are reporting the first successful use of a combination therapy consisting of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), 2% topical nitroglycerin (NGC), and heparin for the treatment of life-threatening ischemic complications of FA catheterization in a neonate. Previous reports were either limited to isolated use of 2% NGC or use of tPA with or without heparin for treatment of ischemia in neonates.

The dependences among the important system parameters are exhibited graphically for several illustrative examples including QPSK. At outage probabilities >
Sub‐angstrom modeling of complexes between flexible peptides and globular proteins

A wide range of regulatory processes in the cell are mediated by flexible peptides that fold upon binding to globular proteins. Computational efforts to model these interactions are hindered by the large number of rotatable bonds in flexible peptides relative to typical ligand molecules, and the fact that different peptides assume different backbone conformations within the same binding site. In this study, we present Rosetta FlexPepDock, a novel tool for refining coarse peptide–protein models that allows significant changes in both peptide backbone and side chains. We obtain high resolution models, often of sub‐angstrom backbone quality, over an extensive and general benchmark that is based on a large nonredundant dataset of 89 peptide–protein interactions. Importantly, side chains of known binding motifs are modeled particularly well, typically with atomic accuracy. In addition, our protocol has improved modeling quality for the important application of cross docking to PDZ domains. We anticipate that the ability to create high resolution models for a wide range of peptide–protein complexes will have significant impact on structure‐based functional characterization, controlled manipulation of peptide interactions, and on peptide‐based drug design.

Restructuring the Morbidity and Mortality Conference in a Department of Pediatrics to Serve as a Vehicle for System Changes

Purpose. Morbidity and mortality conference (MMC) serves an important role in medical care and education. We restructured our Department of Pediatrics MMC to focus on multidisciplinary participation and improved communication among disciplines, quality improvement, and system changes for safer clinical care and enhanced learning from adverse outcomes. Method. The structure and philosophy of the Department of Pediatrics MMC was changed. We present guiding principles for the restructuring process and evaluation results postrestructuring, which examined achievement of conference goals, including quality improvement. Results. The MMC led to system changes within the Department of Pediatrics as well as other parts of the hospital. Satisfaction with these changes was high among conference participants, who felt that the conference achieved its goals of including multiple disciplines and creating system changes. Conclusions. The successful change in the focus of the pediatric MMC conference resulted in significant hospital-wide system changes, quality improvements, enhanced education, and departmental satisfaction.
Clinical Quality Improvement for Identification and Management of Overweight in Pediatric Primary Care Practices

The purpose of the Pediatric Overweight Quality Improvement Initiative (POWQII) was to demonstrate the feasibility and value of simple interventions for improving pediatric care and to address the additional needs of overweight and obese children. Practices were recruited from around New Mexico, with 16 pediatricians completing the POWQII within 9 to 12 months. Initially, documentation of BMI percentile across all practices was only 49%, increasing to more than 90% on average following the first intervention and eventually reaching an average of 99%. Nutrition and physical activity counseling started at 52% and 39%, respectively, increasing to 87% for nutrition and 77% for physical activity. Diagnosis of POW patients improved over the course of the POWQII (67% to 94%). This intervention’s potential impact can extend to a larger population of patients, resulting in twice as many receiving screening for POW and increasing best practices known to improve ongoing care and patient outcomes.
A Pilot Study

Aim. To determine if growth patterns in healthy infants can identify associations with obesity at age 5 years. Method. Body mass index growth patterns from birth to 1 year were described for cohorts of children who were classified at 5 years as normal weight (n = 61), overweight (n = 47), obese (n = 41), and morbidly obese (n = 72). A longitudinal analysis of body mass index means based on the age postbirth was conducted and graphed. Results. Distinctions in growth patterns were evident before 1 year postbirth. Children who were normal weight at 5 years demonstrated a growth pattern in the first year that differed from children who were overweight, obese, or morbidly obese at 5 years. Conclusions. Obesity growth patterns were seen in infancy and are clinically important because identification of infants who do not fit a normal weight pattern can occur and thus guide individualized interventions in the first year postbirth while precursors of later health are still forming.
