The frequency dependence of radio pulse arrival times provides a probe of structures in the intervening media. Demorest et al. was the first to show a short-term (∼100–200 days) reduction in the electron content along the line of sight to PSR J1713+0747 in data from 2008 (approximately MJD 54750) based on an apparent dip in the dispersion measure of the pulsar. We report on a similar event in 2016 (approximately MJD 57510), with average residual pulse-arrival times ≈−3.0, −1.3, and −0.7 μs at 820, 1400, and 2300 MHz, respectively. Timing analyses indicate possible departures from the standard ν
−2 dispersive-delay dependence. We discuss and rule out a wide variety of potential interpretations. We find the likeliest scenario to be lensing of the radio emission by some structure in the interstellar medium, which causes multiple frequency-dependent pulse arrival-time delays.
High-redshift BL Lac Objects: Spectroscopy of Candidates
Authors: Landoni M. , Paiano S. , Falomo R. , Scarpa R. , Treves A.
Published: July 2018

We report on 16 BL Lacertae objects that were proposed to be at z > 1. We present spectroscopic observations secured at the 10.4 m GTC that allowed us to assess the redshift of these sources. In particular, for five objects, we disprove the previous value of the redshift reported in the literature and found that they lie at z < 1. Moreover, two of them exhibit broad emission lines that are not characteristic of BL Lacertae objects. On the other hand, for eight targets, we improve the tentative value of z, previously based on only one feature, by detecting a number of emission lines. Finally, in three cases, we detect the onset of the Lyα forest at z > 2.50. Based on the new high quality spectra, we found that only half of the observed objects can be classified as bona-fide BL Lacs.

Centaurus A (Cen A) is a bright radio source associated with the nearby galaxy NGC 5128 where high-resolution radio observations can probe the jet at scales of less than a light day. The South Pole Telescope (SPT) and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment performed a single-baseline very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observation of Cen A in 2015 January as part of VLBI receiver deployment for the SPT. We measure the correlated flux density of Cen A at a wavelength of 1.4 mm on a ∼7000 km (5 Gλ) baseline. Ascribing this correlated flux density to the core, and with the use of a contemporaneous short-baseline flux density from a Submillimeter Array observation, we infer a core brightness temperature of 1.4 × 1011 K. This is close to the equipartition brightness temperature, where the magnetic and relativistic particle energy densities are equal. Under the assumption of a circular Gaussian core component, we derive an upper limit to the core size ϕ = 34.0 ± 1.8 μas, corresponding to 120 Schwarzschild radii for a black hole mass of 5.5 × 107 M

Using Machine Learning Methods to Forecast if Solar Flares Will Be Associated with CMEs and SEPs
Authors: Inceoglu Fadil , Jeppesen Jacob H. , Kongstad Peter , Marcano Néstor J. Hernández , Jacobsen Rune H. , Karoff Christoffer
Published: July 2018

Among the eruptive activity phenomena observed on the Sun, those that threaten human technology the most are flares with associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs). Flares with associated CMEs and SEPs are produced by magnetohydrodynamical processes in magnetically active regions (ARs) on the Sun. However, these ARs do not only produce flares with associated CMEs and SEPs, they also lead to flares and CMEs, which are not associated with any other event. In an attempt to distinguish flares with associated CMEs and SEPs from flares and CMEs, which are unassociated with any other event, we investigate the performances of two machine learning algorithms. To achieve this objective, we employ support vector machines (SVMs) and multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) using data from the Space Weather Database of Notification, Knowledge, Information of NASA Space Weather Center, the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, and the Space-Weather Heliospheric and Magnetic Imager Active Region Patches. We show that True Skill Statistics (TSS) and Heidke Skill Scores (HSS) calculated for SVMs are slightly better than those from the MLPs. We also show that the forecasting time frame of 96 hr provides the best results in predicting if a flare will be associated with CMEs and SEPs (TSS = 0.92 ± 0.09 and HSS = 0.92 ± 0.08). Additionally, we obtain the maximum TSS and HSS values of 0.91 ± 0.06 for predicting that a flare will not be associated with CMEs and SEPs for the 36 hr forecast window, while the 108 hr forecast window gives the maximum TSS and HSS values for predicting that CMEs will not be accompanying any events (TSS = HSS = 0.98 ± 0.02).
Statistical Test of Distance–Duality Relation with Type Ia Supernovae and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Authors: Ma Cong , Corasaniti Pier-Stefano
Published: July 2018

We test the distance–duality relation

between cosmological luminosity distance (

) from the JLA SNe Ia compilation and angular-diameter distance (

) based on Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) and WiggleZ baryon acoustic oscillation measurements. The

measurements are matched to

redshift by a statistically consistent compression procedure. With Monte Carlo methods, nontrivial and correlated distributions of η can be explored in a straightforward manner without resorting to a particular evolution template

. Assuming independent constraints on cosmological parameters that are necessary to obtain

and

values, we find 9% constraints consistent with η = 1 from the analysis of SNIa + BOSS and an 18% bound results from SNIa + WiggleZ. These results are contrary to previous claims that η < 1 has been found close to or above the 1σ level. We discuss the effect of different cosmological parameter inputs and the use of the apparent deviation from distance–duality as a proxy of systematic effects on cosmic distance measurements. The results suggest possible systematic overestimation of SNIa luminosity distances compared with

data when a Planck ΛCDM cosmological parameter inference is used to enhance the precision. If interpreted as an extinction correction due to a gray dust component, the effect is broadly consistent with independent observational constraints.
Asymmetry in Solar Torsional Oscillation and the Sunspot Cycle
Authors: B Lekshmi , Nandy Dibyendu , Antia H. M.
Published: July 2018

Solar torsional oscillations are migrating bands of slower- and faster-than-average rotation, which are strongly related to the Sun’s magnetic cycle. We perform a long-term study (16 yr) of hemispherical asymmetry in solar torsional oscillation velocity using helioseismic data for the first time. We study the north–south asymmetry in the velocity using the zonal flow velocities obtained by ring diagram analysis of the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) Doppler images. We find significant hemispherical asymmetry in the torsional oscillation velocity and explore its variation with respect to depth, time, and latitude. We also calculate the hemispherical asymmetry in the surface velocity measurements from the Mount Wilson Observatory and the zonal flow velocities obtained from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager ring diagram pipeline. These asymmetries are found to be consistent with the asymmetry obtained from GONG observations. We show that the asymmetry in near-surface torsional oscillation velocity is correlated with the asymmetry in magnetic flux and sunspot number at the solar surface, with the velocity asymmetry preceding the flux and sunspot number asymmetries. We speculate that the asymmetry in torsional oscillation velocity may help in predicting the hemispherical asymmetry in sunspot cycles.
Compétences psychologiques pour une société globale émergente : un autre regard sur la « personne de demain » de Rogers en tant que modèle
Authors: O’Hara Maureen , Dreyfus-Asséo Sylvie , Randin Jean-Marc
Published: July 2018

Les contextes culturels dans lesquels nous vivons et qui nous servent de référence ne sont plus stables et sont perturbés à une échelle inégalée. Cela entraîne une rupture entre les esprits humains et les contextes extérieurs dans lesquels ils sont plongés. Il y a trois réponses possibles à cette crise de cohérence psychologique : réactive, psychotique ou transformative. Carl Rogers a identifié les caractéristiques des personnes capables de répondre de manière transformationnelle. Il a montré l’émergence d’un nouveau mode de conscience et de compétences psychologiques nouvelles. L’Approche centrée sur la personne n’est pas simplement une approche thérapeutique efficace, mais aussi une puissante pédagogie qui soutient l’apprentissage transformationnel nécessaire pour forger les personnes de demain. Il est temps aujourd’hui de replacer la mission et le but de la théorie et de la pratique centrées sur la personne, et de les étendre au-delà du contexte de la thérapie individuelle dans des sphères sociales et civiques plus larges.
Du non-choix à la non-directivité
Authors: Odier Geneviève
Published: July 2018

Dans ce texte, l’auteure, s’appuyant sur diverses philosophies et études, revisite la notion de choix et l’impression que c’est une décision consciente. Elle propose une vision décalée de ce terme. Cette réflexion l’entraîne à reconsidérer les notions de libre arbitre, de choix, de conscience et d’inconscient. Sans parler radicalement de déterminisme, qui serait réducteur, Geneviève Odier décrit une dynamique autonome et inconsciente responsable des choix. Les non-choix seraient une réponse aux multiples facteurs qui régissent notre univers dans lequel tout est lié. L’auteure voit dans cette acceptation une correspondance avec certains concepts de l’Approche centrée sur la personne. Et notamment une apologie de la non-directivité.

L’auteur présente la tendance actualisante sur la base de citations tirées des écrits de Carl Rogers. Il interroge quelques contradictions qui relèvent selon lui d’une formulation théorique optimiste qui met au défi la pratique. Il questionne le sens que peut avoir la tendance actualisante devant des comportements socialement destructifs ou lorsque des conditions défavorables empêchent une croissance constructive.
La confiance en la tendance actualisante
Authors: Keil Sylvia , Zeller Odile
Published: July 2018

Dans cet article, la tendance actualisante est présentée comme une notion naturelle dépassant toute notion de déterminisme, conforme à la réalité et utile, qui aide le thérapeute à maintenir l’espoir et la foi en une évolution positive dans la thérapie. L’auteur soutient que la tendance actualisante l’aide en tant que thérapeute à s’engager dans un processus relationnel créatif, ouvert et sans programme fixe pour le client et ses capacités à découvrir son propre chemin d’évolution.
L’expérience du vieillissement autour de la soixantaine en France. Âge subjectif et genre
Authors: Bozon Michel , Gaymu Joëlle , Lelièvre Éva
Published: July 2018

Les expériences très différenciées de l’âge et du vieillissement qu’ont les hommes et les femmes sont un indicateur puissant de la recomposition contemporaine des inégalités de genre et de leur inscription au plus profond de l’intimité. L’article propose une analyse qualitative de cette dynamique à partir du discours d’une vingtaine d’enquêtés âgés de 55 à 69 ans, de tous les milieux sociaux et demeurant dans la région parisienne et dans une petite ville du sud-ouest de la France, recueilli par entretien semi-directif.
Aging Women under Pressure in Italian Families
Authors: Saraceno Chiara
Published: July 2018

Au croisement des changements démographiques et culturels, comme de ceux qui concernent l’État-providence, les femmes italiennes, à leur entrée dans le troisième âge, se trouvent confrontées à des exigences et des tensions jusqu’alors inconnues. Elles sont plus nombreuses que celles des générations précédentes à être encore employées, en raison des transformations du système des retraites qui les ont spécifiquement affectées. En même temps, à cause de la faiblesse des systèmes de soins publics, elles subissent la double pression de demandes venant d’au-dessus d’elles (celles de leurs propres parents, de leurs beaux-parents et de leur époux) et de dessous. Cet article analyse ces dilemmes à partir d’un point de vue sociodémographique, fondé sur des données quantitatives, provenant d’institutions spécialisées et de recherches empiriques.
« Leur travail, c’est s’occuper de mon père ». Care managers , travail à domicile et soins des personnes âgées
Authors: Offenhenden Maria , Bodoque-Puerta Yolanda , González Camacho Anne-Marie
Published: July 2018

À partir d’une enquête ethnographique sur le travail domestique payé pour soigner des personnes âgées, les auteures montrent comment s’établit, dans ce cadre, la relation employeur-travailleur au quotidien. Elles attachent à la perspective des personnes employeuses en examinant comment cette relation de travail est formalisée et leurs attentes à cet égard. En ce sens, elles cherchent à savoir s’il existe une demande spécifique pour les travailleurs domestiques migrants. Une telle analyse implique de s’intéresser au bien-être, au vieillissement et à la famille, au genre, à la race, à l’immigration, aux inégalités, à la mondialisation et aux régimes de migration.
Vieillir ensemble ou les expressions d’un sentiment d’appartenance. Les personnes sourdes en institution aux Pays-Bas
Authors: Hiddinga Anja , Beyond hearing. Cultures Overlooked Collectif de recherche , Olivier Delphine
Published: July 2018

Cet article explore des expériences de vieillesse de personnes qui sont sourdes de naissance ou depuis la petite enfance, dans une institution, De Gelderhorst , spécialisée pour les accueillir. Cette institution leur propose un hébergement et des soins médicaux, tout en célébrant la culture sourde. Les conditions de sa rentabilité reposent sur un usage alterné des labels médicaux et culturels de la surdité. L’encouragement de certains sentiments d’appartenance rend possible de nouvelles significations de la surdité et de l’autonomie, et redéfinit peut-être aussi la bonne relation de soin.
Un patrimoine alimentaire endormi. Le cas de la vallée pyrénéenne du Vicdessos
Authors: Fournier Tristan , Lepiller Olivier , Simonet Guillaume
Published: July 2018

à partir d’une enquête ethnographique menée dans la vallée pyrénéenne du Vicdessos, territoire à potentialité patrimoniale mais caractérisé par une absence de dynamique en la matière, l’article analyse les obstacles à la patrimonialisation alimentaire. La mise en récit comparative de quatre établissements de restauration donne à voir plusieurs écueils qui doivent eux-mêmes être replacés dans le contexte socio-historique de la vallée, marquée par la présence d’une aluminerie pendant près d’un siècle (1907-2003). La potentialité patrimoniale de l’agriculture, de l’élevage et des traditions culinaires apparaît ainsi impensée, peut-être parce qu’elle est aujourd’hui impensable dans ce territoire marqué par le projet déçu de « faire ville » et de s’émanciper de la condition agricole. L’article invite finalement à étendre la théorie de la patrimonialisation à des conditions sociales situées bien en amont de la marchandisation du patrimoine et qui relèvent de la construction du regard bienveillant qu’un collectif est capable ou non de porter sur son passé commun.
Vénus éternellement mise à mort, l’autoérotisme en défaut à partir de tableaux de Botticelli
Authors: Sabouret Emmanuelle
Published: July 2018

La séquence de quatre tableaux de Botticelli représentant la course poursuite sado-masochique d’un couple illustre imaginairement les conséquences de la défaillance de construction des autoérotismes. L’hypothèse d’un toucher anti-autoérotique vecteur de l’investissement mortifère de l’objet entrave le processus de différenciation sujet-objet et leur séparation. Le rôle de l’objet dans la construction autoérotique est déterminant par sa fonction symbolisante et son implication par l’utilisation de l’objet.
Je suis un monstre : autoérotisme et moi idéal
Authors: Aloupis Panos
Published: July 2018

L’auteur, à partir d’un matériel clinique, réfléchit sur les rapports entre l’auto­érotisme et le moi idéal, ce qui entraîne une discussion sur la genèse de l’autoérotisme, la distinction entre autoérotisme et narcissisme et les origines corporelles de l’idéalité. S’esquisse ainsi l’idée que les processus primaires en défaut risquent de se transformer en attracteur d’un fonctionnement secondaire compulsif et morbide.
Les frontières du genre
Authors: Bidet Jennifer
Published: July 2018

Résumé Cet article interroge le décalage de normes de genre entre pays d'origine et pays d'installation, expérimenté par des descendantes d'immigrés algériens nées en France, lors de leurs voyages en Algérie. À rebours de discours politiques attribuant aux « cultures d'origine » le sexisme subi par les femmes issues de l'immigration maghrébine, l'enquête ethnographique menée en Algérie analyse, sans les essentialiser, les normes sexuées auxquelles sont confrontées les descendantes d'immigrés sur place. C'est à chaque fois une dimension particulière des rôles sexués (différenciation des attentes en termes de sexualité prénuptiale ; différenciation des formes de sociabilité dans la famille élargie ; différenciation des rôles parentaux dans le couple), articulée avec des trajectoires sociales divergentes, qui vient définir des contraintes spécifiques et les réponses construites par les vacancières pour y faire face. Passer la frontière entre la France et l'Algérie amène les femmes rencontrées à devoir redéfinir aussi bien les limites dans la sexuation des espaces (privés et publics), que les prérogatives identifiées comme féminines ou masculines dans le partage des tâches au sein du couple. L'article se concentre sur les mobilités féminines en vacances, mais il éclaire aussi en contre-point la diversité des mobilités masculines.
La greffe coloniale en métropole
Authors: Escafré-Dublet Angéline , Kesztenbaum Lionel , Simon Patrick
Published: July 2018

Résumé Entre 1947 et 1962, le statut des indigènes musulmans de l'Algérie coloniale connaît des modifications importantes et se rapproche progressivement de celui des « Français d'Algérie ». En particulier les Algériens présents en France métropolitaine ne se distinguent pas, en théorie au moins, des métropolitains. Dans les faits, pourtant, la présence en métropole de ces populations, coloniales et migrantes, nourrit les inquiétudes des pouvoirs publics et les expose à un ensemble de traitements spécifiques, le plus souvent discriminatoires. Cela nécessite de distinguer et d'identifier les Algériens présents en France, qualifiés de « Français Musulmans d'Algérie », en dérogation à la loi et au cadre égalitaire métropolitain. Cet article explore les déterminants et les mécanismes de cette distinction à partir d'une étude détaillée des opérations de recensement de 1954. Il montre comment le contexte colonial influence l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre du recensement et conduit l'administration métropolitaine à fabriquer une procédure d'identification des Algériens en rupture avec ses usages habituels.
Le travail féministe et le « problème musulman » au Planning familial
Authors: Romerio Alice
Published: July 2018

Résumé L'espace de la cause des femmes est clivé et traversé par les problématisations de la question du voile présentes dans le débat public. Cet article propose d'analyser la réception différenciée du « problème musulman » en discours et en pratique dans l'espace associatif féministe français à partir d'une enquête ethnographique dans des associations départementales du Planning familial. En s'intéressant à la forme organisationnelle développée localement, cet article met en évidence le poids combiné de l'organisation du travail et des propriétés sociales des agent·e·s, dans les représentations du travail féministe et le rapport aux usagères musulmanes.
Enhanced-Fluence Pulsed-Light Iontophoresis Corneal Cross-linking: 1-Year Morphological and Clinical Results
Authors: Mazzotta Cosimo , Bagaglia Simone Alex , Vinciguerra Riccardo , Ferrise Marco , Vinciguerra Paolo
Published: July 2018

PURPOSE:

To assess the safety and efficacy of a novel pulsed-light enhanced-fluence iontophoresis corneal cross-linking (EF I-CXL) procedure in patients with progressive keratoconus.

METHODS:

This prospective interventional pilot study included 12 eyes of 10 patients. Iontophoresis with Ricrolin+ solution (Sooft, Montegiorgio, Italy) was used for stromal imbibition. The treatment energy dose (fluence) was optimized at 30% (from 5.4 J to 7 J/cm
2
) and ultraviolet-A (UV-A) power set at 18 mW/cm
2
× 6.28 minutes of exposure time, pulsing the light 1 second on/1 second off with a total irradiation time of 12.56 minutes. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), Scheimpflug corneal tomography data, and corneal optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively were evaluated.

RESULTS:

Twelve-month statistically significant average data (
P
< .05) showed UDVA decreased from 0.50 ± 0.10 to 0.36 ± 0.08 logMAR, maximum keratometry decreased from 52.86 ± 1.50 to 51.49 ± 0.90 diopters (D), surface asymmetry index decreased from 2.34 ± 0.36 to 2.13 ± 1.12 D, symmetry index decreased from 4.22 ± 1.01 to 3.56 ± 0.90 D, and coma decreased from 0.25 ± 0.05 to 0.14 ± 0.06
μ
m. Corneal OCT showed greater than 80% demarcation line detection at 295.8 ± 20.2
μ
m depth on average in the first postoperative month.

CONCLUSIONS:

The preliminary results of the EF I-CXL protocol demonstrate its capability to increase I-CXL efficacy closer to standard CXL.

Détention des étrangers en instance d’éloignement : la clarification n’aura pas lieu
Authors: Morri Johann
Published: July 2018

Depuis les années 1950, la position de la Cour suprême sur la détention des étrangers en instance d’éloignement est ambiguë et fluctuante. Dans l’affaire Jennings v. Rodriguez, la Cour avait l’occasion d’indiquer clairement si la détention illimitée sans intervention judiciaire viole le principe du due process of law. Elle ne saisit pas cette occasion, et rend une décision décevante, d’une portée très limitée. Elle juge que, contrairement à ce qu’avait indiqué la Cour d’appel, la loi autorisait clairement la détention illimitée et n’était donc pas susceptible d’une interprétation neutralisante. Mais elle estime que, faute d’un débat suffisant devant les juges du fond, elle n’est pas en mesure de trancher la question de constitutionnalité de la loi. Elle renvoie donc l’affaire devant la Cour d’appel, tout en suggérant que la requête pourrait être irrecevable.
A Therapeutic Genome Editing Primer for Cardiologists
Authors: Caiazza Martina , Masarone Daniele , Limongelli Giuseppe
Published: July 2018

Genome editing, or genome engineering is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in the genome of a living organism using engineered nucleases, or molecular scissors. Genome editing is being rapidly adopted into all fields of biomedical research, including the cardiovascular field, where it has facilitated a greater understanding of lipid metabolism, electrophysiology, cardiomyopathies, and other cardiovascular disorders, has helped to create a wider variety of cellular and animal models, and has opened the door to a new class of therapies. In this review, we discuss the applications of in vivo genome-editing therapies for cardiovascular disorder.

Medical malpractice claim risk in emergency departments
Authors: Bianchin Claudio , Prevaldi Carolina , Corradin Matteo , Saia Mario
Published: July 2018

Medical malpractice claims are a major problem for emergency physicians and for the health system which must be addressed in a rational and effective fashion: claim analysis seems the best way to identify risk factors and risk areas and to elaborate risk management recommendations. The Emergency Department (ED) is one of the areas at higher risk. Medical diagnoses associated with the highest number of claims are acute myocardial infarction, fractures, appendicitis, abdominal/pelvic symptoms, aortic aneurism and open wounds to fingers. The present paper emphasizes the necessity for ED emergency physicians to pay special attention when facing these health conditions and seeks to provide indications in order to reduce litigation.
The anorexia of aging: impact on health and quality of life
Authors: Di Francesco Vincenzo , Pellizzari Luca , Corrà Luigi , Fontana Giorgia
Published: July 2018

Malnutrition for the elderly is a serious threat to their health. An elderly malnourished person is more exposed to illness, to disability and to institutionalization. Among the causes of malnutrition there is also the reduction of food intake for reduced hunger. With aging many factors favor the prevalence of satiety with respect to the desire to eat. This condition has been defined as anorexia of aging. Gastric motility impairment, unbalanced central and gastrointestinal hormone and peptide dynamics, together with sensory deterioration, depression, social and iatrogenic factors may be found frequently among older person and cause anorexia. Reduced appetite and exaggerated feeling of satiety are also causes of deterioration of quality of life, due to the decrease in the pleasure of eating and the presence of unpleasant, early and prolonged sense of fullness. Understanding the mechanisms that facilitate anorexia could help eliminate reversible causes and reduce the effect of para-physiological changes at the basis of anorexia. With this approach, it would be possible to improve the nutritional status and, at the same time, the level of quality of life of aged people.
Current management of intramural duodenal hematoma in alcohol induced pancreatitis
Authors: Bert Florian , Jun Thomas , Rossol Siegbert
Published: July 2018

Intramural duodenal hematomas (IDH) have been rarely associated with pancreatic diseases. Conservative treatment is recommended, but course of disease can be life threatening, serious complications may occur (i.e. duodenal perforation) with imperative surgery. The management of diagnostic and treatment in IDH has improved over the years. Computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound are excellent tools for diagnosis and follow up of IDH. We report a case of a 31-year-old alcoholic who presented with vomiting, exsiccosis, hypochondriac pain and positive shock index. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed gastric outlet obstruction caused by obliterating tumor of bulbus duodeni. Initial suspicion was malign tumor of the duodenum confirmed by native CT and histology. Further diagnostic using EUS-guided aspirate resulted in IDH. By conservative management with nasogastric decompression and digestive rest the patient recovered. In course of disease the hematoma got smaller, but parts were still seen in CT 6 month later.

Large spontaneous portosystemic shunts in cirrhosis are implicated in recurrent and/or chronic persistent hepatic encephalopathy. In long standing cases, these shunts lead to portal vein thrombosis and hepatic dysfunction. Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) is an endovascular technique that is usually employed for shunt closure in the patients manifesting the features of chronic hepatic encephalopathy. There are several reports documenting systemic and portal vein thrombosis as a part of the procedure. We report first time a patient in whom the difficult and partial BRTO procedure led to the extensive thrombosis of the large splenorenal shunt itself without sclerosant instillation.

In Lebanon, hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence is estimated to 0.2% among all ages, with genotype 1 the most common genotype. The age distribution shows 2 peaks reflecting 2 probable mode of transmission of HCV in Lebanon: 20-39 years and more than 40 years. The burden of HCV-related complications on the health system in Lebanon is expected to increase in the upcoming years. The number and prevalence per age group and the fibrosis stage of HCV infections is required to better estimate the burden of the disease in Lebanon. We calculated the prevalence per age group. Concerning fibrosis stage, patients recently diagnosed with HCV and never been treated previously were included and were divided into three groups according to their age Concerning the prevalence by age group, the lowest was seen in the group less than 20 years and the highest in the population aged more than 60. Concerning the fibrosis by age group, the majority of patients less than 40 years had low fibrosis stage, while in the group of more than 60 years F3 and F4 represent respectively 15.07% and 68.49%. Female gender had more significant fibrosis and cirrhosis than male gender. There is an exponential increase of significant fibrosis with age In Lebanon, the highest prevalence of hepatitis C is seen in the age group more than 60 years. In the 2 age groups (40-59 years and >60 years), we noted an advanced fibrosis stage and the majority of patient more than 60 years were cirrhotic at the time of diagnosis, which can reflect the burden of the disease in these groups.
Working irregular shift patterns is associated with functional constipation among healthy trainee nurses
Authors: Ebrahim Ali , Fredericks Salim
Published: July 2018

The circadian system has a role in regulating gastrointestinal physiology. Perturbation of this system is associated with gastrointestinal tract dysfunction. Shiftwork and poor sleep quality are associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders among many professional groups. This study compared bowel habits between trainee nurses with regular and irregular patterns of shiftwork. Male and female nursing students, enrolled on the first year (regular shifts; n=49) and the fourth year (irregular shifts, n=48) of a nursing degree course were surveyed. Questionnaires were used to assess functional diarrhea and constipation over a three month period. The prevalence of functional constipation among regular shift workers was lower than that found among irregular shift workers; 31.3% and 61.2%, respectively. There was no difference between the two groups in relation to the prevalence of diarrhea. This suggests an association between shiftwork and functional constipation, but not with functional diarrhea.

Lactose intolerance is associated with the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose. Several conditions have symptoms that overlap with those of lactose intolerance. Thus, it is commonly misdiagnosed. There are established investigation procedures that aid diagnosis which include the lactose challenge and the hydrogen breath tests. However, differential diagnosis remains challenging. We aimed at identifying gaps in knowledge regarding lactose intolerance among medical practitioners using a survey consisting of 15 questions. It was completed by 98 doctors. Most questions were answered correctly by more than half of the participants. There was no significant difference in the frequency of correct answers between the different medical specialists or age of participating doctors. Crucially, one question relating to the hydrogen breath test was answered incorrectly by 85% of the participants. This highlights acceptable knowledge of general issues, but not the diagnostic aspects, of lactose intolerance among doctors.

Published: July 2018

The Millennium Village Project (MVP) is designed to harness the progress of the time-bound Millennium Development Goals. This study aimed to assess the perception of the Ikaram Millennium Village Project by the residents of Akoko North West local government area of Ondo State. A descriptive cross-sectional study of 496 residents of five of the seven communities that make up the Ikaram MVP was done. The perception of the respondents were rated poor or good by scoring their responses to 8 validated questions. Chi square test was used to assess significant association. The mean age of the respondents were 42.20±17.1 years. Half were female (50.4%), 311 (62.7%) were married. The majority of the respondents (82.1%) reported a poor perception of the MVP. Among the Yorubas only 79 (17.1%) had good perception compared to 7 (46.7%) from other ethnic groups (p=0.003). Contributory factors to poor perception about the Ikaram MVP were the far location of the health facility from the community, lack of communication and community ownership of the project. For community orientated health projects to be successful community participation is important.

Tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN) in patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease, both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is usually considered as drug-associated to aminosalicylate. We report a rare case of granulomatous active tubulo-interstitial nephritis in a young patient with a recent diagnosis of ulcerative colitis naïve to aminosalicylate treatment. The patient has been successfully treated with steroids administration. Our purpose is to sensitize that TIN should always to be considered in differential diagnosis an extra-intestinal manifestation of bowel disease.

Internal medicine patients are mostly elderly with multiple comorbidities, usually chronic. The high prevalence of comorbidity and multimorbidity has a significant impact on both positive responses to treatment and the occurrence of adverse events. Clustering is the process of nosography grouping into meaningful associations with some index disease, so that the objects within a cluster have high similarity in comparison with one another. In the decision-making process it is imperative that, in addition to understanding the immediate clinical problems, we are able to explicit all the contextual factors that have to be taken into account for the best outcome of care. Cluster analysis could be leveraged in developing better interventions targeted to improve health outcomes in subgroups of patients.

Published: July 2018

The focal metallic cartilage resurfacing is a surgical method that offers an appropriate step between the biological techniques and arthroplasty in middle-aged patients with full-thickness cartilage defects. The advantages of this technique are that it addresses the defect, respects healthy tissues and provides stability and contoured surface similar to a full arthroplasty. A systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Two reviewers (MM and DC) independently conducted the search using the MEDLINE/PubMed database and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR). These databases were searched for the terms hemicap knee implant and unicap knee implant and knee focal metallic implant. From the initial 21 studies that were evaluated, 10 were eligible for analysis. Considering both the HemiCAP focal implant and the HemiCap® Wave patellofemoral prosthesis, we found a lack of mid- to long-term clinical outcomes in well-designed prospective clinical studies. No Level I or II studies were found, while the limited number of patients who were included undermines the overall clinical results of these studies. The progression of osteoarthritis, the persisting pain and the subsequent high revision or failure rates in the limited available studies with long-term follow-up, seem to be the major drawbacks of these partial resurfacing techniques. Utilization of partial resurfacing for femoral or patellofemoral compartments results in good short-term outcome for middle-aged patients as a step between biological technique and total knee arthroplasty. The surgeon should be cognizant and also notify the patient of the high failure rates that are reported in the literature in mid- to longterm follow-up and ultimately, the decision to perform partial resurfacing should be taken by both the patient and the orthopedic surgeon.

The clonal invasion of Wedelia trilobata (L.) Hitch has spread to riverside and edges of mangrove areas, which leads to the formation of flooding-stressed areas such as waterlogged and submergence. This study purpose to investigate the clonal integration mechanism of W. trilobata in stress of flooding type combination. This study was conducted in greenhouse with four combinations of flooding treatment on mother ramet (MR) and daughter ramet (DR) for 25 days. Several parameters were measured are shoot growth, relative growth rate (RGR), biomass, biomass allocation, adventitious root growth, and lenticel hypertrophy. The highest clonal performance was observed for the combination of field capacity (MR)-waterlogged (DR). The lowest performance was observed for the combination of waterlogged (MR)-submergence (DR). There were decreases in the shoot growth, RGR, and biomass allocation in mother ramet. However, adventitious root growth and lenticel hypertrophy increased in daughter ramet. The increase of flooding pressure suppresses the performance of clonal plants. Clonal integration buffered clonal plants by improving the performance of daughter ramet in the combination of flooding type. The clonal integration has facilitated W. trilobata invasion in inundated areas.
