Le perfectionnisme: Aspects conceptuels et cliniques
Authors: Todorov Christo , Bazinet Andrée
Published: July 2017

Objectifs:

Étudier le concept du perfectionnisme et présenter sa phénoménologie, son étiologie et son traitement.

Méthodes:

Revue de la littérature, analyse phénoménologique et clinique.

Résultats:

La notion du perfectionnisme fut introduite dans le discours psychiatrique par la Classification Internationale des Maladies (1977). Dans les DSM-III, DSM-III-R et DSM-IV, le perfectionnisme constitue un critère diagnostique pour le trouble de la personnalité obsessionnelle-compulsive, mais le concept du perfectionnisme comme tel n'a jamais été défini dans la littérature psychiatrique. Nous faisons la distinction entre un perfectionnisme normal et un perfectionnisme pathologique, qui lui ferait l'objet d'un intérêt psychiatrique. Le perfectionnisme normal se manifeste en fonction de la pertinence de l'objectif et sa valeur socioculturelle; par conséquent, il est sélectif et flexible. en revanche, le perfectionnisme pathologique consiste en une poursuite contraignante d'une qualité de performance qui n'est pas exigée par les circonstances et revêt un caractère idiosyncrasique. Le perfectionnisme pathologique peut ressembler à la symptomatologie obsessionnelle-compulsive, mais au fond les 2 sont nettement distincts: tandis que les symptômes obsessionnels-compulsifs sont absurdes et constituent le produit d'une contrainte égo-dystonique, le perfectionnisme pathologique est vécu en terme d'obligation personnelle et conserve encore un objectif culturel identifiable.

Conclusions:

La phénoménologie du perfectionnisme dans ses manifestations normales et anormales est bien définie. le perfectionnisme pathologique et le trouble obsessionnel-compulsif se ressemblent et peuvent même partager une étiologie commune, néanmoins ils doivent être considérés comme 2 entités cliniques distinctes. Les approches thérapeutiques du perfectionnisme pathologique demeurent empiriques.
Mental Health Supplement to the Ontario Health Survey: Methodology
Authors: Boyle Michael H , Offord David R , Campbell Dugal , Catlin Gary , Goering Paula , Lin Elizabeth , Racine Yvonne A
Published: July 2017

Objective:

To describe the methodology of a province-wide, cross-sectional, epidemiologic study of psychiatric disorder among those aged 15 years and over living in household dwellings in Ontario.

Method:

Respondents for the survey were drawn from households (N = 13 002) participating in a province-wide health survey. One person per household was selected, and 9953 (76.5%) participated.

Results:

Participants and nonparticipants were similar to each other. An extensive array of data, including measures of psychiatric disorder classified using a revised version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), are available for all respondents.

Conclusions:

The Ontario Health Supplement is contained in a public-use data file at the Ontario Ministry of Health and is available to investigators for study. A strong survey design, careful measurement, and acceptable levels of response provide the rationale for our inviting researchers to access and use the Ontario Health Supplement data base.
The Use of Mental Health Services in Ontario: Epidemiologic Findings
Authors: Lin Elizabeth , Goering Paula , Offord David R , Campbell Dugal , Boyle Michael H
Published: July 2017

Objective:

To describe the distribution and predictors of mental health service use for a survey of Ontario household residents aged 15 to 64 years.

Method:

Service use was defined as any past-year contact with formal or informal health care providers for mental health reasons. Data from the Mental Health Supplement (the Supplement) to the Ontario Mental Health Survey were used to compare the sociodemographic, geographic, and diagnostic status characteristics of service users with these characteristics among nonusers.

Results:

Mental health services were used by 7.8% of respondents in the past year. The majority (57.8%) had a past-year University of Michigan Composite International Diagnostic Interview (UM-CIDI) diagnosis, although 27.1% had never met diagnostic criteria. Other significant predictors were marital status, household public assistance, gender, age, and urban/rural residence.

Conclusion:

Although diagnosis is the strongest predictor of use, the fit between “need” and “care” in Ontario is not perfect. Help seeking differs within specific sociodemographic and geographic groups. Furthermore, the association of marital disruption and economic disadvantage with utilization indicates that prevention and intervention should address needs beyond the medical or psychological.
Relationships and Differences among Social Skills, Problem Behaviors, and Academic Competence for Mainstreamed Learning-Disabled and Nonhandicapped Students
Authors: Elliott Stephen N. , McKinnie DeAnna Marcia
Published: July 2017

The present study was motivated by the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities (ICLD) recommendation that learning disabilities include social skills as a deficit area and by the fact few researchers have directly assessed specific social skills of students classified as learning disabled. This study used a national representative sample of students from the standardization data of the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) to investigate social skills of students with learning disabilities compared with nonlearning disabled students as rated by teachers, parents, and the students themselves. This investigation also examined the relationships among social skills, problem behaviors, and academic competence of these students. The results indicated there were significant differences in the frequencies of social skills exhibited by LD and nonLD students. Consistent differences between the two groups of students were noted across parents' and teachers' ratings. Although students' ratings did not differentiate LD and nonLD students, the trends in the self-ratings were consistent with those of parents and teachers. Moderate to low interrater agreement was found among teacher, parent, and student ratings suggesting differences exist in the observations of raters and behavioral differences seem to occur across settings. Overall, these findings were consistent with recent research on children's social functioning and social competence and provide an empirical rationale for social skills training for a wide variety of students whether they are classified as LD or not.
Contributions of Self-Concept and Intelligence to the Prediction of Academic Achievement among Grade 4, 6, and 8 Students
Authors: Schicke Michelle C. , Fagan Thomas K.
Published: July 2017

This study examined the contributions of self-concept and intelligence to the prediction of academic achievement among grade 4, 6, and 8 students. One unidimensional and one multidimensional measure of self-concept were employed to investigate which self-concept model would better predict educational achievement. Zero-order correlations between general self-concept and achievement were found; however, small but significant positive associations between academic self-concept and achievement were obtained. Regression analyses suggested that intelligence accounted for the most variance in achievement, and academic self-concept added a small amount above intelligence. Correlations between both global and academic self-concept and achievement were similar across grade levels.
Longitudinal Study of Effects on Academic Achievement for Early and Late Age of School Entry
Authors: Wilgosh Lorraine , Meyer Marliss , Mueller Horst H.
Published: July 2017

A large group of children was assessed at the end of kindergarten (1984) on a battery of achievement and ability assessment instruments. To examine the effects of age at kindergarten entry, the academic progress of those children continuing in the same school system was tracked at the end of grades 1 (1985), 3 (1987), 6 (1990), and 9 (1993). There was no evidence for gender or socioeconomic effects on IQ or kindergarten entry age. There was some suggestion that children young at kindergarten entry were more likely to repeat a year or require remedial assistance at some point in their school years. However, the younger children were also brighter on average. Tracking 23 children who required long-term remedial assistance found no indication of greater long-term remedial needs for young-at-entry children.
Social Withdrawal: Self-Efficacy, Happiness, and Popularity in Introverted and Extroverted Adolescents
Authors: Young M. R. Rankin , Bradley M. T.
Published: July 2017

Prior research has not concurred on whether withdrawn children are at-risk for maladjustment, and therefore whether intervention is of value to them. The present study hypothesized that when assessing possible future maladjustment one must look not only at introversion but also emotional stability (neuroticism). Participants were 243 grade 7 and 8 students identified by self-report measures as stable introverts, stable extroverts, unstable introverts, and unstable extroverts. Results confirmed that unstable introverts regarded themselves as less happy and popular than other subjects. They saw themselves as less academically self-efficacious than extroverts and emotionally stable, introverted adolescents. Introverts and unstable adolescents regarded themselves as less socially self-efficacious than extroverts or stable children. The results in general suggest that it is not simply introversion that determines negative social consequences, but that emotional stability or neuroticism must also be considered and that unstable introverts may be more likely than stable introverts to suffer from maladjustment. The findings may help psychologists, teachers, and counsellors determine which socially withdrawn children benefit from intervention.
Screening for "Prelysosomal Disorders": Carbohydrate-Deficient Glycoprotein Syndromes
Authors: Patterson Marc C.
Published: July 2017

Physicians have become accustomed to thinking of certain inborn errors of metabolism (eg, lysosomal, peroxisomal, and mitochondrial diseases) as being associated with specific subcellular organelles. In recent years, a family of disorders of N-glycosylation has been recognized, in which the metabolic defect is expressed in the cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus. These could be conveniently thought of as "prelysosomal" disorders. At least six of these entities are characterized by hypoglycosylation of many glycoconjugates, and have been designated as the carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndromes. Given the ubiquity of the products of N-glycosylation in the cellular economy, it is not surprising that these defects in metabolism have protean clinical manifestations. Delayed development and other neurologic symptoms are wedded to variable dysfunctions of the heart, liver, and endocrine and coagulation systems. Patients can have dysmorphic features or cerebellar hypoplasia, attesting to the antenatal expression of these disorders. The most frequently recognized phenotype (several hundred cases worldwide) has been designated carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome type 1a, and results from mutations in phosphomannomutase, a cytosolic enzyme involved in the synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide that is eventually attached to nascent glycoproteins through the amide group of asparagine residues. All forms of carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome express an excess of hypoglycosylated isoforms of circulating transferrin, which serves as a useful screening tool. Physicians should consider screening for carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome in individuals with delayed development, seizures, strokelike episodes, cerebellar hypoplasia, and demyelinating neuropathy with or without other signs of multisystem disease.

Does the Patient Have a Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy?
Authors: DiMauro Salvatore , Bonilla Eduardo , De Vivo Darryl C.
Published: July 2017

The ubiquitous nature of mitochondria, the dual genetic control of the respiratory chain, and the peculiar rules of mitochondrial genetics contribute to explain the extraordinary clinical heterogeneity of disorders associated with defects of oxidative phosphorylation (mitochondrial encephalomyopathies). To provide a practical approach to the diagnostic challenge posed by these conditions, we critically review the following criteria: (1) clinical presentation; (2) family history; (3) laboratory data; (4) neuroradiologic patterns; (5) standardized exercise testing; (6) muscle morphology; (7) muscle biochemistry; and (8) molecular genetic screening. Judicious sequential application of these tools should provide help in recognizing patients with mitochondrial disease and define the biochemical and molecular basis of the disorder for each patient. This knowledge is indispensable for accurate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis and is a prerequisite for the development of rational therapies, which are still woefully inadequate. (J Child Neurol 1999;14(Suppl 1):S23-S35).
Criminal Justice versus Education: An Analysis of the Priorities of Local Policy Makers
Authors: Stretesky Paul B. , Unnithan N. Prabha
Published: July 2017

The size and composition of populations that pose a social threat are likely to influence a policy maker’s decision regarding the most appropriate form of social control. In this study, the authors investigate whether policy makers representing counties with relatively high percentages of threatening populations are more likely to prioritize criminal justice over education than policy makers representingcounties with relatively low percentages of such populations. The data for this research come from a national survey of elected and appointed county leaders. The authors find that policy makers are more likely to prioritize criminal justice over education when a large proportion of 16-to 19-year-old county residents are not officially employed in the labor market or enrolled in school. The authors conclude that county policy makers tend to favor direct forms of social control (e.g., criminal justice) over ideological forms (e.g., education) as the level of unsupervised county residents of prime street crime age increases.
The Undercurrents of the Cold War
Authors: Sarkar Jayita
Published: July 2017

The Cold War was basically a period of neo-imperialism and neocolonialism pursued on the pretext of threat perception by both the superpowers. The function of the Third World is to provide services for the rich, offering cheap labour, resources, markets, opportunities for investment, as Noam Chomsky said. Whenever a developing or an underdeveloped country of Asia, Africa or Latin America denies it to the West, conflict ensues. The Cold War epoch and the present global scenario only endorse this view.
Iran–India Relations: The Unfulfilled Strategic Partnership
Authors: Soltaninejad Mohammad
Published: July 2017

With its enormous natural and human resources, a growing economy and adjacency to Iran’s security and strategic environment, India is considered one of the most important options with which the Islamic Republic of Iran can establish stable and reliable, if not strategic, relations. Despite this, all economic, trade and cultural capacities as well as diplomatic initiatives have not elevated the mutual relations higher than ‘cordial and friendly’. The present article discusses the reasons behind Indo-Iranian failure to create a once desired strategic partnership. The main idea is that differences in the direction and objectives of the relations between Iran and India, that is, balancing the United States for the former and cooperation with Iran besides the United States for the latter, have led to failure of the efforts to establish a strategic partnership. The theory of soft-balancing is used to analyse Iran–India relations when United States as a factor affecting bilateral relations is concerned.
The Political Economy of Renewable Energy: Prospects and Challenges for the Renewable Energy Sector in India Post-Paris Negotiations
Authors: Tagotra Niharika
Published: July 2017

The global emphasis on reduction in carbon footprint has brought the issue of clean energy back into focus. There are two most notable aspects of the debate. The first aspect concerns the tension it has generated globally between the green energy industry and the traditional energy industries while the second aspect of the debate concerns the developing countries, which lack the necessary infrastructure and technology to make the transition to clean energy. This transition amounts to a remarkable shift in the socio-economic paradigms of developing nations like India which have a largely carbon-based economy. In this article, we study the global transition to clean energy using the political economy framework, wherein we analyse the role played by international regimes, national governments and energy companies in facilitating or inhibiting this transition. We also try and ponder over the impact this transition has on emerging economies like India and how they seek to cope with this while resolving the tension between economic growth and sustainability.

Economic Growth and Social Justice in South Asia: An Interpretation of Empirical Evidence
Authors: Mukherji Indra Nath
Published: July 2017

This paper initially examines the level of development and the rate of economic growth in South Asian countries. Subsequently attention is shifted to examine how far economic growth has contributed to social justice. The level of development is examined conventionally in terms of relative per capita incomes, while the rate of economic growth is examined in terms of annual compound growth rate in real gross domestic product (GDP). For evaluating social justice several indices are used—relative income inequality, distribution of assets, proportion of population below the poverty line, and real earnings of agricultural labourers. Having consolidated the available literature on the subject, a search for their consistency is attempted and interpretations offered. The final section thus examines the evidence with respect to causation of inequality and offers policy guidelines. While the focus of the paper is the South Asian countries, illustrations from the experience of South East Asian countries is also drawn for comparison.

Military Regimes in Bangladesh and Pakistan: Strategies of Sustenance and Survival
Authors: Mishra Jitendra
Published: July 2017

Scholastic output on Third World military regimes has been prodigious. However, not a single comparative study of any aspect of military role and rule in Pakistan (1958 to 1981, except for the Bhutto interregnum) and Bangladesh (1975–1981), has yet been attempted. Capturing power may not be problematic for the functionaries of the Armed Forces; the consolidation of their authority is infinitely more difficult. As for all other ruling groups, it is imperative for them to convert power into authority and legitimacy. Only in so doing can they ensure their sustenance and survival.

In the early stages of their tenure, South Asian military regimes sought legitimacy through the propagation of their self-image as a set of missionary, progressive, neutral and patriotic guardians of the nation. However, the popular will expected performance rather than platitudes. Aware that military solutions to social problems are counter-productive, and guided by practical common sense, South Asian military regimes, like their counterparts elsewhere, have sought “creative relationships with civilian political groups.”1 But such exercises are also expedient as they bring about a cosmetic “civilianisation” of what is essentially a military administration. This mixture of common sense and opportunism has, usually in combination, generated six strategies for the sustenance and survival of South Asian military regimes; co-option of civilians into the government, intimidation of political opponents, divide et empera, expansion of political participation, constitutional legitimation and populism. This paper would attempt to analyze as to how and why these strategies succeeded in fortifying the regimes of Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq and Ziaur Rahman.
Indo-Japanese Economic Co-Operation: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Panda Rajaram
Published: July 2017

India and Japan are two economic partners in Asia. Both are important countries on the eastern and western flanks of Asia; while India is the second largest in the world in terms of population, Japan is one of the most economically advanced in the world. During the last quarter century or so, they have made sincere efforts at various levels to consolidate their complementary relationships. They have also endeavoured to diversify and intensify their economic interests by means of trade, industrial collaboration and investment. This bilateral partnership has developed rather slowly and there is obviously great scope for its further diversification and intensification. What is needed in this regard is an atmosphere of warmth, sincerity and reciprocity.

Whilst Japan's imports from India declined from 8.55 per cent of its total imports in 1951 to 0.8 per cent in 1977, its exports to India also declined from 7.39 per cent of the total exports to 0.59 per cent during the same period.1 Similarly, Japanese investments in foreign collaboration in India amounted to only $ 32 million on 31 March 1979 or about 0.1 per cent of their total investment abroad of about $ 27 billion on that date. Japan's share in cases of foreign investment approved ( capital/technology) by India during the 1957–1979 period totalled 502 collaborations out of a total of 5706 or only 8.8 per cent. Nevertheless, Japan is more important for India than vice versa. It is one of India's important trading partners. In 1978–79, India's exports to Japan totalled $ 743 million or 10 per cent of the total exports. Similarly, imports from Japan amounted to $ 705 million or about 6.7 per cent of total imports.2

Indo-Japanese economic co-operation could develop further from its present level in areas of trade, investment, technology transfer, collaboration in third countries, and multilateral issues figuring on the agenda of the North-South dialogue, the United Nations and its agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The scope of this paper is confined to an examination of the problems and prospects of Indo-Japanese economic cooperation in the fields of trade, investment and collaboration in third countries.

Indian Development Strategy and South Asian Regional Cooperation
Authors: Qureshi M. L.
Published: July 2017

The process of the South Asian regional cooperation (SARC) concept, mooted by Bangladesh President Gen. Zia-ur-Rahman in April 1980, entered a crucial phase following the recently concluded Ministerial Meeting of South Asian Nations in July at Male in the Maldives. Though much has been achieved by way of forging regional cooperation in agreed areas much still remains. India's special position in the sub-continent necessitates more than ever the need for fuller cooperation in the processes of regional development strategy.
Food Security in South Asia
Authors: Bhatia B. M.
Published: July 2017

Agricultural and rural development and the eradication of hunger and malnutrition are among the chief aims of the international development strategy for the Third United Nations Development Decade. In realising these aims the major focus has to be on achievement of national and collective self-sufficiency in food in developing countries. This international concern for agricultural and rural development in developing countries and securing adequate supplies of food for the peoples of these countries to eradicate hunger and endemic malnutrition among them, is of particular interest to South Asia which is the most populated and one of the poorest geographical regions of the world.
New Trends in Soviet Relations with The Third World

The question whether the soviet relations with Third World countries have undergone certain changes in the recent past actually begs another question: whether “the new thinking” has affected Soviet policy towards capitalist countries in general and towards the US in particular. A discussion of the second question in the beginning will offer us a background essential for acquiring the relevant perspective in this regard.
Long-Term Capacity-Building in Public Health Emergency Preparedness in Thailand – Short Report
Authors: Limpakarnjanarat K , Linkins Rw , Emerson E , Aldis WL , Jiraphongsa C , Ungchusak K
Published: July 2017

Thailand's long-term commitment to public health workforce capacity-building and its health infrastructure were key components in its successful response to the December 26, 2004 tsunami disaster. Surveillance and Rapid Response Teams, comprising fellows and staff from the Field Epidemiology Training Programme of Thailand, in collaboration with staff from the Thailand Ministry of Public Health – U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, enabled a rapid and an effective public health response. Active surveillance, outbreak response and control, rapid health assessments, and mental health surveys provided critical information on the public health priorities and medical needs of the impacted populations. Environmental assessments of temporary morgues led to health safety and infection-control recommendations, and computerised surveillance systems assisted in victim tracking and identification. Thailand's experience demonstrates the importance of a prepared public health sector In mitigating the impact of disasters, and supports the recommendation of the Fifty-Eighth World Health Assembly for Member States to develop preparedness plans that include building capacity to respond to health-related crises.

Career Research in a Post-Modern Era
Authors: McMahon Mary , Watson Mark
Published: July 2017

In recent years, career theory and practice has been challenged to revise and reinvigorate itself in order to remain relevant in the post-modern world. The most fundamental challenge is to produce an identity for career practice that is congruent with the post-modern world (Watson & McMahon, 2005). Career research is facing a similar challenge as it has been dominated by methodologies that emanate out of the positivist worldview of the modern era and has been mainly quantitative in nature. In their recent research, the authors have been examining methodologies that accommodate the tenets of the post-modern world. This article overviews post-modern considerations for career research. The authors describe how they have attempted to address these considerations by exploring the possibilities offered by the Systems Theory Framework of career development (STF) and the My System of Career Influences ( MSCI) reflection activity as research tools. Examples of recent research will be briefly described.
What Do Career Counsellors Think Their Clients Expect from Their Services? Are They Right?
Authors: Lim Ros , Patton Wendy
Published: July 2017

Consistent with calls for a greater marketing emphasis to be included in career counselling practice, this study uses marketing concepts to explore the relationship between the expectations people in career transition have of a career counselling service and the perceptions career counselling service providers have of these expectations. The study used the Expectations About Career Counselling survey to gather data from 481 transitioners and practitioners. The results of the study showed a gap between practitioner perceptions and transitioner expectations. Implications for career counsellors based on the results are discussed.
The Day before Yesterday: the Committees for Nuclear and Environmental Information
Authors: Brodine Virginia Warner
Published: July 2017

Barry Commoner's leadership in the formation and early years of the Committee for Nuclear Information is described. The Committee's role as a pioneer in providing the public with information on nuclear questions, then the prime environmental issue requiring political action, is outlined. When it changed its name to the Committee for Environmental Information and broadened its scope, the focus continued to be on those environmental issues requiring political decisions. Although both Committees limited themselves to scientific information and did not advocate particular political solutions, they became embroiled in controversies, some of them significant for breaking through barriers of government silence and corporate misinformation.
Crossing Paths: Science and the Working Class
Authors: Mazzocchi Tony
Published: July 2017

My first meeting with Barry Commoner developed out of my interest in nuclear weapons testing, an issue that had engrossed Commoner and the Committee for Nuclear Information (CNI) for some time. Then, our union local worked collaboratively with the scientists on the Baby Tooth Survey which showed an association between nuclear fallout and the level of strontium-90 in children's teeth. Linking the CNI scientists and the working class in this way produced results and Commoner and his colleagues made themselves available to respond to corporate scientists on issues such as toxic workplaces exposures. We were successful in raising occupational health and safety questions because we had credible scientists on our side. Through the association with Barry, we changed the face of the workplace and thousands of people are alive today because we helped pass the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. A whole cadre of health and safety specialists came out of those efforts.
Check Your Privilege
Authors: Newell Sara
Published: July 2017

Today’s gifted students are in a unique position. Many come from traditionally advantaged backgrounds. However, the societal tide is shifting, and gifted learners should be at the forefront of change. Exposure to and comprehensive analysis of literature by diverse authors will help prepare students for the world they stand to inherit and will open their minds to the faulty systems that work to their advantage. As gifted students gain an appreciation of global context and the impact of colonial influence and oppression, they will be better positioned to demand change and equity. Participating in a culturally responsive classroom environment is one way to facilitate this awareness. This article includes specific examples of both the challenges and strategies to address issues surrounding diversity in the gifted classroom through inclusive literature instruction.

Content and Flow of AP News—From Trunk to TTS to Reader
Authors: Cutlip Scott M.
Published: July 2017

Dailies studied in Wisconsin, as well as in Indiana, show a tendency to use more wire news and less local copy since the advent of the Teletypesetter. This raises the question whether some papers are “trimming the edges off their product” enough to be harmful. Mr. Cutlip is an associate professor at Wisconsin.

Major controversy involving newspapers and radio was not noteworthy during the third quarter of 1954. Result of the Reynolds-Pegler libel action, which began in the previous quarter, was a record award to Reynolds against Pegler and companies associated with him. General Motors Corporation again placed advertising in the Wall Street Journal after withdrawing ads because of a news story run in the newspaper columns. This incident also began in the previous three months period.

In the field of labor relations, the Newspaper Guild debated and reaffirmed its stand in the Polumbaum case which involved the United Press. Issue in this case was the dismissal rights of the company for alleged involvement in subversion vs. employment rights defended by union contracts.
On the Elastic Behavior of Scission Materials
Authors: Zimmermann Markus , Wineman Alan
Published: July 2017

Constitutive equations have recently been developed which account for changes in the mechanical response of an elastomer due to changes in its macromolecular structure. The changes consist of scission of macromolecular network junctions, recoiling of macromolecules and their subsequent cross linking to form new networks with new stress-free reference configurations. This work discusses changes caused by large deformations. For each deformation history, there is a range of deformations in which the microstructure is fixed, with no further scission or cross linking. The elastomer has a modified elastic behavior and a new stress-free reference configuration. The constitutive equation for this post-scission elastic range is developed. Two subclasses of this constitutive equation are defined: Mooney-Rivlin based and neo-Hookean based scission materials. The strain energy density function for each subclass is derived. It is shown how the new material symmetry is determined from the preceding deformation history and the scission and cross linking processes. The effect of scission on the stability behavior of a neo-Hookean based scission material is discussed and a cube under triaxial load is considered.

Objectives

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) has a wide range of severity. There are nonsevere forms treated conservatively until surgery and severe forms that require an early stoma and prolonged hospitalization. Our objective was to establish a clinical scoring system to predict the severity of HSCR and to evaluate the possible existence of a clinical-genetic correlation.

Methods

We carried out a retrospective observational study including all HSCR cases treated in our hospital. The sample was divided into severe and nonsevere disease according to the number of surgical procedures, hospitalization time, and episodes of enterocolitis. The proposed score was applied at diagnosis, and the sensitivity, specificity, and optimal cut-point were determined. We conducted a prospective molecular study of RET, EDNRB, and EDN3 on all patients, as well as SOX10 in Waardenburg Syndrome type 4 forms.

Results

Among the 42 patients treated between 1983 and 2013, 15 met the severe disease criteria. This group had a higher mean score (13.15 ± 2.36) than the nonsevere group (8.15 ± 2.13; p < 0.001). A score ≥11 had a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 81% in detecting the severe cases. Causative mutations were identified in 12 patients, 8 of them in the severe group ( p = 0.015). Most of these mutations (75%) were located in the RET proto-oncogene.

Conclusion

The proposed scoring system enables the early selection of patients with severe behavior of HSCR. A value ≥11 showed good sensitivity and specificity for this purpose. Causative mutations were identified in more than 50% of patients who met the criteria for severe disease.

The objective of the study was to examine the causes of stillbirth in the district of Southwest Finland and to assess the importance of postmortem examination and the selection of a suitable classification system for classifying stillbirths. This study is a cohort study where the fetal autopsies were performed in the Department of Pathology at Turku University Hospital, Finland, 2001–2011. Stillbirths from singleton pregnancies at the gestational age of ≥ 24 + 0 weeks (if unknown, gestational weight ≥ 500 g) (n = 98) were selected. In addition, stillbirths from multiple gestations (n = 6) were also analyzed. The causes of stillbirths were classified according to the Relevant Condition at Death classification system. Maternal risk factors and the role of fetal gestational age and weight for the causes of stillbirth were assessed. The most common causes of singleton stillbirth were lethal congenital anomalies, placental insufficiencies, and constricting loops and knots of the umbilical cord. The cause of singleton stillbirth could be determined for 78% of the cases, leaving 22% unclassified. There were no significant differences in the causes of stillbirth by gestational age or weight. Smoking may increase the incidence of placental abruption ( P < 0.01). The most common causes of stillbirth in Turku, Finland, are consistent with findings from other high-income countries. With careful postmortem examination and ancillary studies, it is possible to find the cause of stillbirth for most of the cases. Even if the stillbirth is left unexplained, many other harmful conditions can be excluded thus benefiting both the parents and the health care unit.

Jaundice in the newborn period can be physiologic and is often due to benign causes. Jaundice due to conjugated hyperbilirubinemia extending beyond the second week of life may be an early sign of several cholestatic or metabolic liver diseases, and it requires logical and timely analysis so that specific treatments can be initiated. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is the most common genetic cause of pediatric liver disease and transplantation, and it must be considered when evaluating cholestatic infants. Here, we present an unusual case of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency with severe infantile cholestasis and rapid decompensation in the first 4 months of life, where in-depth but timely diagnosis was crucial for the appropriate intervention to take place.
ALK Gene Copy Number Gain and Immunohistochemical Expression Status Using Three Antibodies in Neuroblastoma
Authors: Kim Eun Kyung , Kim Sewha
Published: July 2017

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK) gene aberrations—such as mutations, amplifications, and copy number gains—represent a major genetic predisposition to neuroblastoma (NB). This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between ALK gene copy number status, ALK protein expression, and clinicopathological parameters. We retrospectively retrieved 30 cases of poorly differentiated NB and constructed tissue microarrays (TMAs). ALK copy number changes were assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays, and ALK immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing was performed using three different antibodies (ALK1, D5F3, and 5A4 clones). ALK amplification and copy number gain were observed in 10% (3/30) and 53.3% (16/30) of the cohort, respectively. There were positive correlations between ALK copy number and IHC-positive rate in ALK1 and 5A4 antibodies ( P < 0.001 and P = 0.019, respectively). ALK1, D5F3, and 5A4 antibodies equally showed 100% sensitivity in detecting ALK amplification. However, the sensitivity for detecting copy number gain differed among the three antibodies, with 75% sensitivity in D5F3 and 0% sensitivity in ALK1. ALK-amplified NBs were correlated with synchronous MYCN amplification and chromosome 1p deletion. ALK IHC positivity was frequently observed in INSS stage IV and high-risk group patients. In conclusion, this study identified that an increase in the ALK copy number is a frequent genetic alteration in poorly differentiated NB. ALK-amplified NBs showed consistent ALK IHC positivity with all kinds of antibodies. In contrast, the detection performance of ALK copy number gain was antibody dependent, with the D5F3 antibody showing the best sensitivity.
