Published: March 2017

Background: There is limited Indian data available regarding inherited thrombophilias. This study was to determine the prevalence of inherited thrombophilias in young Indian patients presenting with thrombotic events.Methods: This study was done at a tertiary hospital in Western India over a period of 20 months. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data was recorded of all consecutive patients aged 16 to 45 admitted with arterial and venous thrombotic vascular events. Blood samples for the thrombophilia profile were sent. Data was tabulated and analyzed using microsoft excel and graph pad software.Results: 49 patients aged 15 to 45 years, admitted with thrombotic vascular events a period of 20 months were included. 26 (53.1%) were male. The mean age was 22.2±7 years. 20 (40.8%) patients; 10 (38.5%) males and 10 (43.5%) females had at least one thrombophilia. The commonest thrombophilia in both arterial and venous thrombotic events was hyperhomocysteinemia.Conclusions: Young patients with thrombotic vascular events should be tested for thrombophilias since they are an important risk factor in this subset of patients.

Published: March 2017

We present a case of a young patient presenting with a six-month history of multiple squamous pink and light brown papules surrounded by symmetrical eczema on the trunk. Dermoscopy revealed light brown structureless and avascular lesions with an erythematous scaly halo. The patient denied the presence of naevi on the sites of the newly emerging changes. Histopathology revealed acanthotic epidermis and linear clusters of morphologically normal naevi cells in the upper dermis, infiltration of lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils and mild spongiosis in the  dermis. Topical betamethasone/gentamicin ointment twice daily for 10 days was prescribed. The erythematous scaly area around lesions completely disappeared on the follow-up visit after six months. This is a unique case of a sudden appearance of newly formed multiple benign dermal naevi with Meyerson phenomenon—the sudden eruption of multiple Meyerson naevi.

Published: March 2017

In this study the electrical properties of organic semiconductor orange nitrogen dye (OND) have been examined. Thin film samples were deposited from OND solution in water on a nickel substrate (it was the first electrode) at room temperature at different gravity conditions including, 1 g (reference samples), 123 g, 277 g and 1107 g by a centrifugal machine. As a second electrode of the samples a gallium drop was used. The voltage-current characteristics of the samples were measured at temperature interval of 30°C - 60°C. It was found that all voltage-current characteristics were asymmetrical with slightly rectification behavior. The resistances of the samples decrease monotonously with temperature but with acceleration they show minimum around of 123 g. As a rule the forward bias resistance ("+" voltage was applied to gallium) were less than reverse bias ones ("+" voltage was applied to nickel). The electric behavior of the samples analyzed by the conception of space-charge limited currents (SCLC) at the presence of two different kinds of metallic electrodes (Ni and Ga) in the samples.

The results of a pilot application of a chemical composition for enhanced oil recovery developed at the IPC SB RAS are presented. The EOR-composition was tested in 2014 at the Permian-Carboniferous heavy oil deposit at the Usinskoye oil field. It is very effective for an increase in oil production rate and decrease in water cuttings of well production. In terms of the additionally produced oil, the resulting effect is up to 800 tons per well and its duration is up to 6 months. The application of technologies of low-productivity-well stimulation using the oil-displacing IKhNPRO system with controlled viscosity and alkalinity is thought to be promising. This composition is proposed for the cold’ stimulation of high-viscosity oil production as an alternative to thermal methods.

Published: March 2017

The approach for graphite laminated materials strength properties prediction using contact angle measurements was proposed. The tensile strength of laminated materials made of graphite foil and stainless steel with acrylic and silicone adhesives was measured. It was shown that tensile strength depends on energy characteristics of polymer binders, which can be determined by simple and express wetting method. It was found that the highest values of tensile strength, strength of adhesion and the work adhesion to graphite and stainless steel were provided by acrylic adhesive MBM-5C. The delamination occurred when graphite and stainless steel sheets were connected with low surface energy silicone resin, γ = 23 mJ/m2,
what was not able to maintain sufficient adhesion level to the both types of attached surfaces: polar steel and non-polar graphite. It was demonstrated that the calculation of the work of adhesion to polar and non-polar model liquids (water and octane respectively) can be applied to optimize the choice of polymer binder and design of laminated materials. It’s quite important that the proposed technique doesn’t require to determine free surface energy for each type of sheet material which is especially difficult and complex task if laminate consists of several different layers.

Authors: Gomes Isadora Dias , Colaço Veriana de Fátima Rodrigues
Published: March 2017

Partindo da teoria histórico-cultural e da metalinguística bakhtiniana, foram estudados os sentidos e significados de risco e liberdade com adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de internação. As produções textuais e imagéticas de uma oficina temática foram analisadas com base nas três tradições discursivas sobre risco propostas por Mary Jane Spink e no conceito de liberdade em Vygostky. Os resultados mostram que a vivência do risco-aventura surge em relação com o conceito vygotskiano de liberdade, uma vez que poder arriscar-se manifesta uma operação mínima de domínio de si, não vivenciada no contexto de internação.

Recruiting for Rehabilitation Counselor Education Programs: Twenty Years Later
Authors: Paul Heidi , Brodwin Martin G.
Published: March 2017

Purpose:To examine changes in recruitment procedures over the past 20 years and the effect of these changes on the number of students entering rehabilitation programs at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA).

Method:The authors reviewed recruitment practices at CSULA and student enrollment of graduates and undergraduates in rehabilitation programs in 1993 and compared the recruitment practices and student enrollment in rehabilitation programs in 2014.

Results:Some of the methods used in 1993 are still in use today. However, the establishment of technology has created new opportunities for recruitment with positive effect. The undergraduate program has grown from 100 students in 1993 to 450 students in 2014. The graduate program has increased from 15 students to 28 students accepted annually, turning away two-thirds of potential graduate students who have applied for admission to the program.

Conclusion:To enhance recruitment, it is important to reach as many students as possible, which can be done with the creative use of technology as well as retaining effective recruitment practices used in the past.
A Survey of Military Counseling Content and Curriculum Among Council on Rehabilitation Education- and Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs-Accredited Programs
Authors: Stebnicki Mark A. , Clemmons-James Dominiquie , Leierer Stephen
Published: March 2017

Purpose:To determine the amount, frequency, and type of course content related to military counseling issues in Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE)- and Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)-accredited master’s-level counselor education programs.

Methods:A questionnaire was sent to all CORE- and CACREP-accredited program directors/coordinators (N= 383) via Microsoft Outlook e-mail system. The authors used the 6-item questionnaire to ask participants to report data in the following areas: (a) if their program offered a certificate program, specialty track, concentration, or degree program in military counseling; (b) if not, do they intend to add a stand-alone military counseling course, certificate program, specialty track, or degree program in military counseling; (c) if they currently have plans, how do they intend to deliver such topics within the structure of their curriculum or counselor education program; (d) if coursework already exists, how is it currently structured within their curriculum and counselor education program; and (e) 3 open-end questions requesting course titles; semester hours related to course content, curriculum, and/or concentration, and comments regarding student assignments and/or projects that are military related.

Results:Overall, out of 362 programs surveyed, 85 (23.4%) responded. All 85 of survey respondents indicated that they did not have a (a) certificate program, (b) specialty track, or (c) degree program that related to military counseling. Of the 85 programs, 34 schools (4.7%) had developed stand-alone courses that offered military counseling content. More than two-thirds of the 85 programs reported covering military counseling content in various courses across the curriculum.

Conclusion:None of the program directors/coordinators in this study indicated they had a specialty track, concentration, or certificate program. Some of the participants indicated they were considering adding additional seminars, courses, and other student experiences that would integrate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for persons that are active-duty personnel and veterans. Overall, the data suggest that there is greater attention and a willingness among counselor educators to infuse military counseling–related coursework. This is promising because it is critical that preprofessionals and professionals alike be introduced to the emerging population of providing rehabilitation counseling services to military personnel, veterans, and their family members.
The Effect of Parenting Practices on the Severity of Gingival Bleeding in Children
Authors: Kumar Santhosh , Tadakamadla Jyothi , Zimmer‐Gembeck Melanie , Kroon Jeroen , Lalloo Ratilal , Johnson Newell W.
Published: March 2017

Background: Studies have consistently reported that parenting practices have an impact on eating styles which determine obesity levels in children. However, to the best knowledge of the authors, there is no study that evaluates the association of parenting practices on gingivitis in children using path analysis to evaluate if oral health–related behavior mediates this association. This study aims to test a model of parenting and family demographic factors that could account for gingivitis in children, with a focus on the mediational roles of oral health–related behaviors and oral hygiene status.

Methods: Clinical examination of oral hygiene status and gingivitis was conducted using simplified oral hygiene and modified Community Periodontal Indices, respectively, on sixth‐grade school children (n = 1,539) of Medak District in Telangana State, India. Children also answered a questionnaire consisting of five closed‐ended questions on oral health–related behavior. Parents responded to queries related to socioeconomic status (SES), family structure, number of children, oral health–related behavior, and parenting practices.

Results: Prevalence of gingival bleeding was 92.4%. Power assertion parenting (representing coercive or controlling parenting practices) had a negative effect on oral hygiene status (β = 0.044; P = 0.07), and also had an indirect effect on gingival bleeding (β = 0.011; P = 0.05). Oral hygiene status was positively associated with the extent of gingival bleeding (β = 0.24; P = 0.01). Children living in families with lower SES had worse oral hygiene (β = −0.101; P = 0.01) and gingival bleeding status (β = −0.024; P = 0.01).

Conclusion: Power assertion parenting had a deleterious effect on the extent of gingival bleeding via a worse oral hygiene status of children, but SES was also important for predicting oral hygiene and gingival bleeding.

Discriminação na cidade: a mobilidade como direito social
Authors: Pires Fatima Lauria
Published: March 2017

A mobilidade deve ser um direito social, pois protege a necessidade das pessoas de mover-se livremente para a conquista da igualdade. As privações de mobilidade também são decorrentes das desigualdades nas relações sociais. O uso dos espaços refletem as relações de dominação de uma ordem discriminatória que não reconhece a igualdade. Os corpos abjetos referem-se às pessoas fora de uma matriz de inteligibilidade, criando proibições no uso do espaço urbano: são corpos deficientes, sexuados, racializados, pobres ou femininos. O reconhecimento de necessidades como direitos deve ser feito por meio de uma reflexão pública sobre o que é ser tratado como pessoa de igual respeito e consideração.

Ao machado! Ao machado! A cidade do Natal e suas árvores no início do século XX
Authors: Simonini Yuri
Published: March 2017

O artigo aborda a complexa relação entre o cidadão natalense e a vegetação de grande porte na primeira década do século XX. A partir dos preceitos da História Ambiental Urbana, analisamos artigos veiculados nos jornais locais e, como contraponto, textos sobre arborização nas cidades brasileiras do período. Embora muitas cidades do país adotassem modelos europeus para sua reorganização espacial, certos equipamentos urbanos, como os jardins e avenidas arborizadas tiveram tratamento diferenciado. Em Natal, os residentes consideravam a vegetação de grande porte para fins estéticos um estorvo a ser eliminado, pensamento que alcançou a cidade contemporânea.

“Uma boca pequena” sobre os sistemas de áreas verdes de Ribeirão Preto (1945-1955).
Authors: Deminice Daniel
Published: March 2017

Durante um período de 10 anos a cidade de Ribeirão Preto passou por um momento de inflexão na definição de sua forma urbana. Ao longo da primeira metade do século XX, ela havia sido construída em meio à produção de diferentes representações urbanas que se tornaram o motivo de polarizações político-partidárias em sua Câmara Municipal. Esta situação irá se agravar com a criação de um projeto de Plano de Diretor pelo urbanista José de Oliveira Reis. Diante de uma divisão social que o município vinha adquirindo, Oliveira Reis propunha um novo zoneamento estruturado por um sistema de áreas verdes constituídas por parkways, bosques, praças e unidades de vizinhanças, dotando a cidade de outro tratamento paisagístico. Todavia, durante a tramitação desse Plano Diretor se configuram polarização políticas que terminam com denúncias contra ameaças e propinas que alguns vereadores vinham recebendo pelos loteadores da cidade.  Ao final desse episódio, se vê o agravamento das vertentes de crescimento urbano entre o norte pobre - território de fábricas e moradias populares; e o sul rico - espaço de bairros prioritariamente residenciais.
Maquinações de natureza em episódios urbanos
Authors: Britto Pedro Dultra , Fonseca Carolina Ferreira
Published: March 2017

O artigo aborda maquinações entre natureza e cidade a partir das políticas de subjetivação contemporâneas analisadas com enfoque nas interações entre hegemonias e resistências. Explora interações e rupturas entre hegemonia e resistência através da contextualização de situações contributivas para a reflexão do urbanismo sob a ótica da paisagem, das visibilidades, da política e dos afetos citadinos. Tais interações desdobram-se de três episódios contextualizados nas cidades de Salvador, Recife e Rio de Janeiro: 1) Desaparecimento e morte dos rios; 2) Um lugar ao sol na natureza urbana: territorialidades e paisagem; e 3) Pesca artesanal e paisagem: territorialidades de memória e apagamentos. Os episódios articulam sentidos de “hiper-realidade” (BAUDRILLARD, 1991); “maquínico” (DELEUZE e GUATTARI, 2007); e “justificativas ambientais” (ACSELRAD, 2010), entre outros, assumindo diferentes configurações para práticas urbanas relacionadas com a natureza. A abordagem pelo viés da subjetivação instaura campos de forças tensionados, denominados de natureza celibatária.
El problema y la política de vivienda en Chile: propuestas para una nueva perspectiva de análisis
Authors: Cofré Schmeisser Boris Mosiés
Published: March 2017

El problema habitacional chileno ha sido estudiado casi exclusivamente fijando la mirada en el Estado y los sectores sociales de bajos ingresos. Muy poco se conoce sobre el rol que desempeñaron los empresarios y trabajadores de ingresos medios en las políticas de vivienda. Este texto propone integrar al análisis a dichos actores urbanos fundamentales con el objetivo de alcanzar un saber más complejo, integral y matizado. Para ello se centró el análisis en la primera política nacional de la vivienda (1952-1958). Las conclusiones confirman el supuesto recién señalado.

Se trata de mostrar como el conflicto resulta una forma de crear nuevas territorialidades y así mismo como proceso, es revelador de nuevas identidades territoriales que conducen a reflexionar sobre  la relación entre la sociedad y el espacio.
Materiais curriculares educativos online como uma estratégia ao desenvolvimento profissional em matemática
Authors: Bairral Marcelo Almeida
Published: March 2017

Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa que visa à elaboração e à disponibilização de Materiais Curriculares Educativos Online (MCEO) para o uso de docentes em suas aulas. Os dados analisados foram coletados em uma sessão presencial de pesquisa na qual os MCEO professores de matemática tiveram a oportunidade de acessar cada um dos materiais e navegar com eles. A coleta de dados foi feita mediante um roteiro de perguntas e os diários dos pesquisadores. Um dos primeiros resultados ratifica que a tarefa deve ser o ponto de partida na elaboração de um MCEO. Além de ser mais uma estratégia para o aprendizado docente, os MCEO podem constituir novas formas de obtenção online de dados na pesquisa em educação matemática interessada no desenvolvimento profissional docente. Todavia, a mera produção de MCEO não pode ser vista como responsável por melhorias na qualidade dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem matemática.

Universal size effect of concrete specimens and effect of notch depth
Authors: Şener Sıddık , Şener Kadir Can
Published: March 2017

The universal size effect law of concrete is a law that describes the dependence of nominal strength of specimens or structure on both its size and the crack (or notch) length, over the entire of interest, and exhibits the correct small and large size asymptotic properties as required. The main difficulty has been the transition of crack length from 0, in which case the size effect mode is Type 1, to deep cracks (or notches), in which case the size effect mode is Type 2 and fundamentally different from Type 1. The current study is based on recently obtained comprehensive fracture test data from three-point bending beams tested under identical conditions. In this test, the experimental program consisted of 80 three-point bend beams with 4 different depths 40, 93, 215 and 500mm, corresponding to a size range of 1:12.5. Five different relative notch lengths, a/D = 0, 0.02, 0.075, 0.15, 0.30 were cut into the beams. A total of 20 different geometries (family of beams) were tested. The present paper will use these data to analyze the effects of size, crack length. This paper presents a studying to improve the existing universal size effect law, named by Bazant, using the experimentally obtained beam strengths for various different specimen sizes and all notch depths. The updated universal size effect law is shown to fit the comprehensive data quite well.

Este trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de acompanhar a dinâmica populacional de colônias de abelhas melíferas, durante o período chuvoso, na região de Araguaína e, como esse regime hídrico interfere na manutenção da colônia e organização social destes insetos. Foram avaliadas 4 colônias, alojadas em colmeias padrão Langstroth, entre setembro de 2013 e junho de 2014, quanto à área total dos quadros da colmeia ocupada por mel, pólen, cria de abelhas operárias, cria de zangões e por favos vazios. Observou-se que houve oscilação na área de mel entre os meses de outubro e abril, mostrando consumo das reservas de mel no período crítico, pois nesse período chuvoso, para se manterem e manterem as crias, as abelhas precisam de fonte energética. A produção de crias de zangões indica que a colônia está suprindo suas necessidades básicas. No mês de abril, por fragilidade da colônia, a produção de zangão foi zero. Foi possível perceber que as abelhas mantiveram suas colônias fortes praticamente todo ano, com redução apenas em abril, concluindo-se que com estoque de alimentos na colmeia, as colônias conseguem sobreviver mesmo com oscilações climáticas, indicando que a região de Araguaína é apta para apicultura.
Women in Literature – A New Dimension into the World of Woman with Reference to Shashi Deshpande`s Writings
Authors: Nair Jayashree
Published: March 2017

In India, a woman is conditioned by tradition and cultural bindings in a society with family as a major situate of oppression. A woman is yet to seek identity as an individual with equal status in the family. The identity of women is through her family that creates a dominant ambience where she willingly accepts the responsibility of being a warden in a defined role. Modernization has transformed the life of Indians in many ways, although it has not altered the perceptions of family value system. The need for family continues to dominate the emotional life of women leaving her a mere performer of domestic chores, reproduction, rearing up children and fulfilling the desires of the male .The whole process leaves behind a traumatized woman who is discriminated, exploited, humiliated and oppressed in the male dominant society .A women suffer mainly due to the patriarchal psyche resulting in male prejudice and the prevalent tendency to impose their power over women by emotional abuse. The individuality of a woman is torn between social obligations and stereotypical gender roles. A woman who loses or foregoes her financial independence is caged both emotionally and economically leaving behind a vulnerable woman. To understand the socio-economic changes the role of women in households and the effect of these changes on women must be well understood. Many women writers have tried to challenge the patriarchal dogmas; this suppression is still prevalent in our society. The paper throws light on the dilemma of women and their inner voices in the male dominant society as they journey unto the realm of womanly sensibilities. The paper seeks to present the role of literature in voicing the identity and place of women in a patriarchal society with reference to Shashi Deshpande`s selected novels The Dark Holds No Terrors , Roots and Shadows and That Long Silence. A distinguished contemporary writer with concern on social dynamics that repress individuality of modern, educated, Indian women, her struggles and the distinctly female operative sensibility, Deshpande through her character depict women’s internal struggle to unravel the immense complexities of her identity and gender demarcations.

Aportaciones de los cirujanos espan˜ oles del Renacimiento
Authors: Moreno Egea Alfredo
Published: March 2017

Introducción: Las aportaciones científicas de los cirujanos espa˜noles del Renacimiento sonmuy poco conocidas a nivel internacional. No suelen figurar en ninguna historia de la medi-cina y, sin embargo, fueron una pieza clave para comprender el posterior desarrollo de lacirugía en Espa˜na. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar la obra de los cirujanos del sigloxvi en Espa˜na.Método: Revisión de la literatura. Análisis crítico de los artículos, tesis, libros y monografíaspublicadas, utilizando como palabras clave anatomía, Renacimiento o siglo XVI.Resultados: Son espa˜noles los siguientes hechos: la primera monografía sobre medicina legal(Fragoso) y el primer tratado de urología del mundo (Díaz), la neurocirugía, la cirugía plásticay ortopédica como deudoras en sus orígenes de las aportaciones de los médicos espa˜noles(Arceo y Alcázar), el estudio clínico y terapéutico más completo sobre la sífilis de todo elsiglo (Calvo), la renovación en el tratamiento de las heridas (Daza) y el inicio de la estadísticamédica hospitalaria (Agüero), entre otros. Se reivindica la importancia de la cirugía frente ala medicina, defendiendo la práctica de la cirugía como especialización (Daza) y el uso de lalengua propia como técnica docente para asegurar una ense˜nanza digna a los cirujanos sinformación universitaria y asegurar su difusión (Agüero, Daza).Conclusión: Las aportaciones de los cirujanos espa˜noles durante el Renacimiento son com-parables a las de la escuela italiana y superiores al resto de los países europeos.Aportaciones de los cirujanos espan˜ olesdel Renacimiento

Published: March 2017

Introducción: Se define como hernia o eventración abdominal con pérdida de domicilio a laentidad en la que más del 50 % del contenido de la cavidad abdominal se encuentra fuera dela misma. La reparación de estos defectos puede conllevar varios problemas fisiopatológicosgraves, como el síndrome compartimental abdominal con compromiso respiratorio agudosecundario al aumento súbito de la presión intraabdominal. Go˜ni Moreno publicó en 1940 larealización del neumoperitoneo preoperatorio progresivo para el tratamiento de las grandeshernias.Caso clínico: Paciente varón de 78 a˜nos con antecedente de colecistectomía hace 3 a˜nos. Con-sultó por presentar tumoración abdominal gigante, localizada a nivel de cicatriz de Kocher de18 meses de evolución. La tomografía computada informó de eventración de la pared ante-rior del hemiabdomen superior derecho, con un diámetro de aproximadamente 10 × 20 cmcon contenido de asas intestinales. Se realizó neumoperitoneo de Go˜ni Moreno y luegoeventroplastia subcostal con malla de doble componente colocada en plano retromuscular.Discusión: Actualmente, distintos autores recomiendan el neumoperitoneo preoperatorio enlas grandes eventraciones con pérdida de domicilio, ya que se ha demostrado un incrementodel volumen de la cavidad abdominal de un 49 % y un aumento en la longitud total de losmúsculos parietales después de su implementación.Conclusión: El neumoperitoneo preoperatorio es de gran ayuda en las grandes eventracio-nes con pérdida de domicilio, ya que incrementa el volumen de la cavidad abdominal yaumenta la longitud de los músculos rectos y oblicuos abdominales, con lo que permite unareparación con mínima tensión.

Case:

Surgical management of tibial plateau fractures can be challenging, and complications can be devastating. We report the case of a lateral tibial plateau fracture malunion with an associated intra-articular depression, which we treated with an open-book osteotomy, obviating the need for an early corrective osteotomy or knee arthroplasty.

Conclusion:

A tibial plateau fracture malunion can be reconstructed. The surgical team should give priority to salvage options, which can obviate or delay the need for and the implications of an early total knee arthroplasty, especially in a young and active patient.
Dew from Warm‐Season Turfgrasses as a Possible Route for Pollinator Exposure to Lawn‐Applied Imidacloprid

Core Ideas

This is the first study to report warm‐season turfgrass dew as a potential source for pollinator contact with imidacloprid.

Observed imidacloprid concentrations were similar to those reported in creeping bentgrass guttation droplets but less than those typically found in agronomic crops grown from treated seed.

Foliar‐treated bermudagrass contained more than 10 times the imidacloprid residue of the isolated soil‐only treatment.

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide used for the control of turfgrass insect pests. It can be translocated into guttation fluid, thus potentially creating an exposure avenue for beneficial insects. Our research objectives were to investigate the fate of soil‐ and foliar‐applied imidacloprid in dew forming on bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) and St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walter) Kuntze] turf. Imidacloprid was applied at standard use rates (443 g a.i. ha−1; 6.32 oz a.i. acre−1) to soil only via sub‐irrigation (Years 1 and 2) or by foliar treatment (Year 2), which is representative of standard home lawn application. Dew fluid, which includes guttation, was collected 48 h after treatment and was analyzed for imidacloprid. During Year 1, dew collected from the soil‐only treatment of bermudagrass and St. Augustinegrass contained 15.8 and 9.2 ng imidacloprid mL−1, respectively. During Year 2, foliar treated bermudagrass contained more than 10 times the amount of imidacloprid as found in the soil‐only treatment (59.8 versus 5.2 ng mL−1, respectively). Observed imidacloprid concentrations were similar to those reported in creeping bentgrass guttation droplets but were less than those typically found in agronomic crops grown from treated seed. Levels were less than those reported to be acutely lethal to the European honeybee. However, depending on the amount of contaminated dew or guttation transported into hives, similarly low concentrations could be associated with sublethal effects (reportedly >10 ng mL−1). This is the first study to report warm‐season turfgrass dew as a potential source for pollinator contact with imidacloprid and suggests that post‐application irrigation is perhaps the best way to avoid pollinator exposure.

Objective: The aim of this study was to find out if preoperative PET/CT could be a substitute for staging surgery and whether SUVmax values correlate with prognostic factors of endometrium cancer.Study Design: 30 patients to whom18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT scan was performed preoperatively were analyzed retrospectively. Standardized uptake value (SUV) was calculated on PET images. PET findings were compared with surgical and pathological findings.Results: SUVmax of the endometrioid type tumors were significantly higher than non-endometrioid types (p: 0.042). SUVmax significantly differ between histologic grades (p: 0.042). SUVmax did not differ between patients who had myometrial invasion less or more than 50% and who had lymphovascular invasion or not. There was not a significant difference between SUVmax and FIGO stages also. Possibility of extra-uterine lesion in PET/CT were significantly higher in late stages (p: 0.004). Sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT for detection of beyond stage 1 disease were 50% and 67% respectively and sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT for detection of lymph node metastasis were 40% and 86% respectively.Conclusion: PET/CT has moderate sensitivity for pre-operative detection of beyond stage 1 cancers but it has a high specificity and low-moderate sensitivity for detection of lymph node metastasis but has high specificity. Because the positive likelihood ratios are relatively low, PET/CT cannot be a substitute for staging surgery.
