REID ON RIDICULE AND COMMON SENSE
Authors: GRANDI GIOVANNI B.
Published: June 2008

According to Reid, opinions that contradict the principles of common sense are not only false but also absurd. Nature has given us an emotion that reveals the absurdity of an opinion: the emotion of ridicule. An appeal to ridicule in philosophical arguments may easily be discounted as a logical fallacy in the same manner as an appeal to the common consent of people. This essay traces the origins of Reid's defense of ridicule in the works of Addison, Hutcheson, Shaftesbury and Campbell. Reid rejected a non-epistemic view of the sense of ridicule. According to Reid, ridicule includes both a feeling and a particular act of judgment based on the principles of common sense.
Hydroxyurea therapy lowers circulating DNA levels in sickle cell anemia
Authors: Ulug Pinar , Vasavda Nisha , Kumar Rohan , Keir Linda , Awogbade Moji , Cunningham Juliette , Rees David C , Menzel Stephan , Thein Swee Lay
Published: June 2008

Hydroxyurea reduces the frequency of acute pain in sickle cell disease (SCD). We sought to determine if hydroxyurea therapy affects cell free DNA (cfDNA) levels in SCD. cfDNA levels fell in all 10 patients studied; before hydroxyurea, mean was 1,879 (95% CI 1,104–3,199) GE/mL; after hydroxyurea, mean was 780 (95% CI, 634–959) GE/mL (P = 0.002). Mean cfDNA level in the 10 HbSS adults prior to starting hydroxyurea was also significantly higher than that in 115 HbSS case controls who had never taken hydroxyurea (1,879 vs 975 GE/mL, P = 0.02). cfDNA levels may be useful in monitoring response to hydroxyurea therapy in SCD.

Published: June 2008

Polymicrogyria is a malformation of cortical development characterized by loss of the normal gyral pattern, which is replaced by many small and infolded gyri separated by shallow, partly fused sulci, and loss of middle cortical layers. The pathogenesis is unknown, yet emerging data supports the existence of several loci in the human genome. We report on the clinical and brain imaging features, and results of cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies in 29 patients with polymicrogyria associated with structural chromosome rearrangements. Our data map new polymicrogyria loci in chromosomes 1p36.3, 2p16.1–p23, 4q21.21–q22.1, 6q26–q27, and 21q21.3–q22.1, and possible loci in 1q44 and 18p as well. Most and possibly all of these loci demonstrate incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. We anticipate that these data will serve as the basis for ongoing efforts to identify the causal genes located in these regions. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Homology and the hierarchy of biological systems
Authors: Sommer Ralf J.
Published: June 2008

Homology is the similarity between organisms due to common ancestry. Introduced by Richard Owen in 1843 in a paper entitled “Lectures on comparative anatomy and physiology of the invertebrate animals”, the concept of homology predates Darwin's “Origin of Species” and has been very influential throughout the history of evolutionary biology. Although homology is the central concept of all comparative biology and provides a logical basis for it, the definition of the term and the criteria of its application remain controversial. Here, I will discuss homology in the context of the hierarchy of biological organization. I will provide insights gained from an exemplary case study in evolutionary developmental biology that indicates the uncoupling of homology at different levels of biological organization. I argue that continuity and hierarchy are separate but equally important issues of homology. BioEssays 30:653–658, 2008. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Community colleges as gender‐equitable institutions
Authors: Townsend Barbara K.
Published: June 2008

This chapter compares the concept of a gender‐equitable community college in the 1990s and today.
Strategizing for the future
Authors: Eddy Pamela L. , Lester Jaime
Published: June 2008

This final chapter reviews strategies that community colleges can use to address issues of gender and create more equitable and pluralistic environments. It also discusses the need for research that examines the intersection between social identities and community college mission, culture, and environment.
Publication bias in studies on the efficacy of hypnosis as a therapeutic tool
Authors: Moshagen Morten , Musch Jochen
Published: June 2008

In an extensive review of more than 400 hypnotic treatment outcome studies, Flammer and Bongartz (2003) presented meta‐analytic evidence supporting the efficacy of hypnosis as a therapeutic tool. Meta‐analyses, however, are prone to the problem of selective publication of studies reporting positive outcomes. In the present investigation, we therefore employed a variety of methods to test for the presence of publication bias in the data analysed by Flammer and Bongartz (2003). The results suggest that publication bias may have contributed to the effect size estimate by about one third. However, our analysis also shows that the efficacy of hypnosis is of a substantive nature, and may not be explained on the basis of publication bias alone.

Interleukin‐6 predicts recurrence and survival among head and neck cancer patients

Published: June 2008

BACKGROUND.

Increased pretreatment serum interleukin (IL)‐6 levels among patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have been shown to correlate with poor prognosis, but sample sizes in prior studies have been small and thus unable to control for other known prognostic variables.

METHODS.

A longitudinal, prospective cohort study determined the correlation between pretreatment serum IL‐6 levels, and tumor recurrence and all‐cause survival in a large population (N = 444) of previously untreated HNSCC patients. Control variables included age, sex, smoking, cancer site and stage, and comorbidities. Kaplan‐Meier plots and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to study the association between IL‐6 levels, control variables, and time to recurrence and survival.

RESULTS.

The median serum IL‐6 level was 13 pg/mL (range, 0‐453). The 2‐year recurrence rate was 35.2% (standard error, 2.67%). The 2‐year death rate was 26.5% (standard error, 2.26%). Multivariate analyses showed that serum IL‐6 levels independently predicted recurrence at significant levels [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.32; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11 to 1.58; P = .002] as did cancer site (oral/sinus). Serum IL‐6 level was also a significant independent predictor of poor survival (HR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.46; P = .03), as were older age, smoking, cancer site (oral/sinus), higher cancer stage, and comorbidities.

CONCLUSIONS.

Pretreatment serum IL‐6 could be a valuable biomarker for predicting recurrence and overall survival among HNSCC patients. Using IL‐6 as a biomarker for recurrence and survival may allow for earlier identification and treatment of disease relapse. Cancer 2008. © 2008 American Cancer Society.
