Health Care Providers’ Knowledge, Attitudes, and Self-efficacy for Working With Patients With Spinal Cord Injury Who Have Diverse Sexual Orientations
Authors: Burch Annlee
Published: November 2007

Background and Purpose

This study, using an evaluative, cross-sectional design, explored the self-efficacy, knowledge, and attitudes of health care providers who treat people with spinal cord injury (SCI) who may be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT). The study also designed and implemented a diversity training program and measured its effect on participants’ perceptions of their ability to change their knowledge levels, attitudes, and self-efficacy with regard to sexual orientation diversity.

Subjects and Methods

Health care professionals (N=402) participated in a diversity training program that included a pre-briefing questionnaire, a videotape, a post-briefing questionnaire, and discussion. Descriptive and chi-square analyses were performed on all variables of interest.

Results

The majority of the participants reported low levels of knowledge, attitudes of tolerance versus respect, and 0% to 20% confidence levels for providing culturally sensitive services for patients with diverse sexual orientations. Three hundred seventeen participants strongly agreed that watching the videotape increased their confidence levels in providing services for people who may be GLBT.

Discussion and Conclusion

Health care providers who treat people with SCI self-report low levels of knowledge, tolerance versus respect, and low levels of self-efficacy with regard to sexual orientation diversity. If a health care provider has a low level of knowledge, tolerance versus respect, and a low level of diversity self-efficacy toward others, there may be direct physical and mental health consequences for the patient. A limitation of the study was that social desirability bias may have increased the number of participants who reported increased levels of self-efficacy following the videotape. Further research is recommended (1) to determine whether current diversity training for health care professionals includes diversity of sexual orientation and (2) to examine the knowledge levels, attitudes, and self-efficacy of health care professionals with regard to sexual orientation diversity while attempting to control for social desirability bias in participants’ responses.

In materials science X‐ray microtomography has evolved as an increasingly utilized technique for characterizing the 3D microstructure of materials. The fundamentals of X‐ray microtomography experimental methods and the reconstruction and data evaluation processes are briefly described. A review of in‐situ synchrotron X‐ray microtomography studies in literature is given. Examples of recent work include in‐situ microtomography investiagtions of metallic foams, in‐situ studies of the sintering of copper particles, and in‐situ investigations of creep damage evolution in composites. Future perspectives of in‐situ X‐ray microtomography studies in materials science are outlined.

Published: November 2007

Palladium‐catalyzed condensation reactions of sulfonimines with isocyanoacetate were performed using various PCP, SCS, SeCSe and NCN pincer complexes as catalysts. The reactions proceeded rapidly (2 h) at room temperature using only 1 mol % pincer complex catalyst without any additives. The electron‐deficient and relatively bulky PCP complex provides imidazoline derivatives with a very high syn diastereoselectivity. The applied PCP catalyst proved to be very robust under the applied reaction conditions, as it could be recovered without any decomposition after the completed catalytic process. The stereoselectivity of the condensation reactions is reversed by employing the electron‐rich SeCSe type of complexes. Simple palladium salts, such as palladium acetate, Pd(OAc)2, catalyze the reaction with a poor stereoselectivity. The stereoselectivity of the PCP complex‐catalyzed process does not depend significantly on the steric bulk of the sulfonimine component. Mechanistic studies revealed that the PCP complex‐catalyzed reaction proceeds via an η1‐coordinated palladium isocyanoacetate pincer intermediate. This intermediate could also be isolated and its structure was determined by X‐ray diffraction. The X‐ray structure of this reaction intermediate indicates a surprisingly strong carbon‐metal bond between the palladium atom and the coordinated isocyanoacetate molecule. Our mechanistic studies show that the pincer complex catalyst does not undergo redox reactions and, thus it retains a +2 oxidation state under the catalytic process.

A new protocol for the coupling of aryl iodides with thiophenols and alkanethiols catalyzed by copper nanoparticles under ligand‐free condition has been developed. A variety of functionalized aryl sulfides are prepared in excellent yields under microwave irradiation for 5–7 min. A plausible radical mechanism has been suggested.
Arylation of Allyl Alcohols in Organic and Aqueous Media Catalyzed by Oxime‐Derived Palladacycles: Synthesis of β‐Arylated Carbonyl Compounds
Authors: Alacid Emilio , Nájera Carmen
Published: November 2007

A 4‐hydroxyacetophenone oxime‐derived palladacycle catalyzes the Mizoroki–Heck reaction of allyl alcohols with aryl iodides, bromides, and chlorides in aqueous and organic solvents. The reaction takes place in the presence of dicyclohexylmethylamine or cesium carbonate as bases, the addition of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as additive for aryl bromides and chlorides being necessary. Under these reaction conditions, β‐arylated aldehydes and ketones are mainly obtained using a rather low loading of palladium (0.1–1 mol %). Similar catalytic activity is shown by a Kaiser oxime resin‐derived palladacycle, which allows one to perform recycling and reusing experiments with low Pd leaching. The high regio‐ and chemoselectivity observed supported that these palladacycles, working as a source of Pd(0) species, operates mainly through a neutral mechanism. This methodology has been applied to the synthesis of important β‐arylated carbonyl compounds, such as 4‐phenylbutan‐2‐one, 4‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)butan‐2‐one, dihydrochalcones, the anti‐inflamatory nabumetone, and the fragance β‐lilial®. γ‐Arylation is observed in the reactions of allyl alcohol and but‐3‐en‐2‐ol with 2‐iodoaniline giving mainly the corresponding quinolines. The same tendency is observed in the case of 1,1‐dimethylallyl alcohol affording either γ‐arylated alcohols or (E)‐1‐arylisoprenes.

ECE‐pincer palladium(II) complexes {ECE=[C6H3(CH2E)2‐2,6]−, E=PPh2 and SPh} tethered to a trialkoxysilane moiety through a carbamate linkage were immobilized on ordered mesoporous silicas SBA‐15 and MCM‐41 using a grafting process. The resulting hybrid materials were characterized by IR spectroscopy, solid‐state CP/MAS NMR (13C, 31P, and 29Si), and elemental analyses. These analyses showed the integrity of the pincer‐metal complexes on the supports, which highlights their stability under the applied immobilization conditions. An H‐bonding interaction between the carbamate carbonyl group of the complex and free silanol groups on the silica surface was also established. The hybrid materials were found to act as Lewis acid catalysts in the aldol reaction between methyl isocyanoacetate and benzaldehyde. SBA‐15 modified with the PCP‐pincer Pd complex was used in up to five runs without loss of activity. Control experiments showed the true heterogeneous nature of the catalyst in this reaction. Nitrogen physisorption data, XRD, and TEM/EDX analyses of the hybrid materials revealed that the mesoporous structure of these materials was retained during the immobilization process as well as during catalysis.
Continuous Flow Hydrogenation of a Pharmaceutical Intermediate, [4‐(3,4‐Dichlorophenyl)‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐naphthalenyidene]methylamine, in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
Authors: Clark Peter , Poliakoff Martyn , Wells Andy
Published: November 2007

The hydrogenation of complex pharmaceutical intermediate, rac‐sertraline imine has been optimized as a continuous flow process utilizing a palladium/calcium carbonate (Pd/CaCO3) catalyst and hydrogen in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). Superior levels of selectivity were obtained in the flow system possibly attributable to the heat transfer properties of scCO2 which help to remove excess heat from the catalyst surface.
“Mixing rules” for estimating the hydraulic permeability of fiber mixtures
Authors: Mattern Kristin J. , Deen William M.
Published: November 2007

While theoretical results for the hydraulic permeability of fibrous media are typically based on a single type of fiber in an ordered array, many synthetic or biological materials are composed of fibers which differ in size, charge, orientation, or other characteristics. It is desirable to be able to estimate the permeability of such a mixture from its composition and the properties of the individual fiber types. Toward that end, we compared four “mixing rules” proposed in the literature, each based on differing approximations of the hydrodynamic interactions between multiple fiber types. To provide data for charged fibers, the open‐circuit hydraulic permeabilities of periodic arrays of fibers with different surface charge densities and/or radii were computed using finite element methods. Based on these data for charged fibers, as well as published results for arrays of uncharged fibers of differing radii and/or orientation, we compared the four mixing rules for 64 cases. In some situations there were several‐fold differences among the predicted hydraulic permeabilities. Nonetheless, a volume‐weighted averaging of the resistivities of individual fiber types was found to be reasonably reliable, giving an overall root‐mean‐square error of 24%. This mixing rule was equally applicable to systems containing charged or neutral fibers. © 2007 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2008

Published: November 2007

Background

Few epidemiologic studies have addressed the exposure–response relationships between work activities and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). This analysis used data from a national survey and ergonomists' ratings to address this issue.

Methods

Interview and knee X‐ray data were obtained from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Occupational ratings were obtained using ergonomists. A weighted logistic regression was used.

Results

Among men, a significant exposure–response relationship was found between symptomatic knee OA and kneeling. In both genders, there was a significant trend in heavy lifting and severe symptomatic knee OA. Approximately 20.7% of knee OA can be attributed to kneeling >14% of the workday among men.

Conclusions

The significant exposure–response relationships suggest that modest reductions in certain occupational activities can reduce the burden of knee OA. The study was limited by unvalidated expert ratings. Research is needed to identify hazardous characteristics of work activities and to clarify exposure–response relationships. Am. J. Ind.

Work tasks, chemical exposure and respiratory health in construction painting
Authors: Kaukiainen Ari , Martikainen Rami , Riala Riitta , Reijula Kari , Tammilehto Lauri
Published: November 2007

Background

There is insufficient knowledge about the role of house painting tasks and chemical exposure in the respiratory health of construction workers.

Methods

A cross‐sectional questionnaire survey was conducted of 1,000 Finnish male construction painters and 1,000 carpenters (response rates 60.6% and 60.4%, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression models were adjusted for age, smoking, and atopy.

Results

Outdoor painting, more than indoor painting, was associated with asthma‐like respiratory symptoms [odds ratios (OR) 2.7–6.5], rhinitis symptoms [OR 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1–5.2], asthma (OR 4.7, 95% CI: 1.4–16.1), and chronic bronchitis (OR 2.9, 95% CI: 1.0–8.4) when compared to carpentry work. Risk factors for respiratory symptoms and chronic bronchitis were the use of epoxy/urethane paints, putties, and plasters and the use of glues or traditional paints. Water‐based paints were not a common cause of symptoms.

Conclusions

Special attention should be paid to work methods and personal protection, not only in outdoor painting, but also in all filling, plastering, and sanding tasks. The shift from epoxy/urethane and other solvent‐based paints to water‐based products should be further encouraged. Am. J. Ind. Med. 51:1–8, 2008. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
The clinical phenotype of mosaicism for genome‐wide paternal uniparental disomy: Two new reports
Authors: Wilson Meredith , Peters Gregory , Bennetts Bruce , McGillivray George , Wu Zan He , Poon Christopher , Algar Elizabeth
Published: November 2007

Recently, mosaicism for genome‐wide paternal uniparental disomy (patUPD), attributed to androgenetic/biparental mosaicism, has been shown to underlie placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD), a distinctive cystic placental phenotype. Manifestations of Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) have been observed in approximately one‐third of fetuses or liveborn infants from pregnancies complicated by PMD. There are very few reports describing liveborn individuals with proven mosaicism for genome‐wide patUPD in somatic tissues. We report two further children with complex phenotypes including some findings of BWS, congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, prolonged feeding difficulty and failure to thrive in infancy. The first developed short stature, bilateral pheochromocytomas and progressive arterial stenoses, and the second had congenital adrenal cysts, and later developed hepatoblastoma and patchy hyperpigmentation. Leukocyte DNA methylation studies of KCNQ1OT1/LIT1 and H19 loci (11p15.5) showed almost complete loss of maternal methylation (LOM) in patient 1 and partial LOM in patient 2. Microsatellite marker panels showed whole chromosome 11 patUPD. SNP array studies in both were consistent with mosaic genome‐wide patUPD in leukocytes, while fibroblast DNA in Patient 1 showed biparental inheritance. This report further illustrates the clinical consequences of mosaicism for genome‐wide patUPD, which results in complex and variable phenotypes. Studies for genome‐wide UPD should be considered in individuals with atypical UPD phenotypes. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
One‐pot synthesis of a polysaccharide‐based graft copolymer with an efficient redox pair (Fe2+/BrO3−)
Authors: Kumar Rajesh , Srivastava Arti , Behari Kunj
Published: November 2007

A graft copolymer based on a polysaccharide (sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose) and a vinyl monomer (acrylamide) has been synthesized in a nitrogen atmosphere, and its reaction conditions have been optimized for a better yield with ferrous sulfate and potassium bromate as a redox initiator. The effects of ferrous ion, bromate ion, hydrogen ion, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and acrylamide along with the reaction time and temperature have been studied through the determination of the grafting parameters: the grafting ratio, add‐on, conversion, efficiency, homopolymer, and rate of grafting. The maximum yield has been found to occur when the acrylamide concentration is 8.0 × 10−2 mol/dm3, whereas the maximum conversion occurs at a minimum concentration of acrylamide, that is, at 3.0 × 10−2 mol/dm3. The grafting parameters have been found to increase with an increasing concentration of the redox initiator (Fe2+, from 2.0 × 10−3 to 10.0 × 10−3 mol/dm3; BrO, from 2.2 × 10−3 to 4.0 × 10−3 mol/dm3). The maximum efficiency occurs with a reaction time of 210 min. The rate of grafting has been found to be maximum up to 60 min; after that, it decreases rapidly. In this article, it is shown that the hydrogen ion leads to a very clear decrease in the grafting parameters as its concentration increases from 2.1 × 10−3 to 11.3 × 10−3 mol/dm3. Grafted gum and ungrafted gum have been characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. A probable mechanism has been suggested for graft copolymerization. It has been observed that the graft copolymer is thermally more stable than the parent backbone. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate by the use of lanthanum acetyl acetonate catalyst
Authors: Zahedi P. , Arefazar A.
Published: November 2007

Blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/polycarbonate (PC) in the presence of lanthanum acetyl acetonate catalyst that causes reactive mixing of two polymers were prepared, and mechanical and morphological properties were studied. For comparison reasons, simple blends of those two polymers (in the absence of catalyst) were also prepared. Compatibility strongly depends on the degree of transesterification at the interface of PET/PC, which leads to decrease of PET crystallinity, and results reveal that at 40–50% of PC content in blends a fine microstructure is formed and impact strength reaches its maximum value. This phenomenon is attributed to the occurrence of transesterification reactions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Hemicarbasucrose: Turning off the Exoanomeric Effect Induces Less Flexibility
Authors: López‐Méndez Blanca , Jia Cai , Zhang Yongmin , Zhang Li‐He , Sinaÿ Pierre , Jiménez‐Barbero Jesús , Sollogoub Matthieu
Published: November 2007

Hemicarbasucrose, a close congener of sucrose in which the endocyclic oxygen atom of the glucose moiety is replaced by a methylene group was synthesized for the first time. The conformational behaviour of hemicarbasucrose was studied by a combination of molecular mechanics and NMR spectroscopy (J and NOE data). It was shown that the carbadisaccharide populates two distinct conformational families in solution, the normal syn‐ψ conformation, which is the predominating conformation of the parent natural O‐glycoside, and the anti‐ψ conformation, which has not been detected for the O‐disaccharide. Interestingly, the hemicarbasucrose is less flexible than its natural congener.
Cationic Bis‐cyclometallated Iridium(III) Phenanthroline Complexes with Pendant Fluorenyl Substituents: Synthesis, Redox, Photophysical Properties and Light‐Emitting Cells

We report the synthesis, characterisation, photophysical and electrochemical properties of a series of cationic cyclometallated IrIII complexes of general formula [Ir(ppy)2(phen)]PF6 (ppy=2‐phenylpyridine, phen=a substituted phenanthroline). A feature of these complexes is that the phen ligands are substituted with one or two 9,9‐dihexylfluorenyl substituents to provide extended π conjugation, for example, the 3‐[2‐(9,9‐dihexylfluorenyl)]phenanthroline and 3,8‐bis[2‐(9,9‐dihexylfluorenyl)]phenanthroline ligands afford complexes 6 and 9, respectively. A single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study of a related complex 18 containing the 3,8‐bis(4‐iodophenyl)phenanthroline ligand, revealed an octahedral coordination of the Ir atom, in which the metallated C atoms of the ppy ligands occupy cis positions. The complexes 6 and 9 displayed reversible oxidation waves in cyclic voltammetric studies (${E{{{\rm ox}\hfill \atop 1/2\hfill}}}$=+1.18 and +1.20 V, respectively, versus Ag/Ag+ in CH2Cl2) assigned to the metal‐centred IrIII/IrIV couple. The complexes exhibit strong absorption in the UV region in solution spectra, due to spin‐allowed ligand‐centred (LC) 1π–π* transitions; moderately intense bands occur at approximately 360–390 nm which are red‐shifted with increased ligand length. The photoluminescence spectra of all the complexes were characterised by a broad band at λmax≈595 nm assigned to a combination of 3MLCT and 3π→π* states. The long emission lifetimes (in the microsecond time‐scale) are indicative of phosphorescence: the increased ligand conjugation length in complexes 9 and 17 leads to increased lifetimes for the complexes (τ=2.56 and 2.57 μs in MeCN, respectively) compared to monofluorenyl analogues 6 and 15 (τ=1.43 and 1.39 μs, respectively). DFT calculations of the geometries and electronic structures of complexes 6′, 9′ (for both singlet ground state (S0) and triplet first excited (T1) states) and 18 have been performed. In the singlet ground state (S0) HOMO orbitals in the complexes are spread between the Ir atom and benzene rings of the phenylpyridine ligand, whereas the LUMO is mainly located on the phenanthroline ligand. Analysis of orbital localisations for the first excited (T1) state have been performed and compared with spectroscopic data. Spin‐coated light‐emitting cells (LECs) have been fabricated with the device structures ITO/PEDOT:PSS/Ir complex/Al, or Ba capped with Al (ITO=indium tin oxide, PEDOT=poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene), PSS=poly(styrene) sulfonate). A maximum brightness efficiency of 9 cd A−1 has been attained at a bias of 9 V for 17 with a Ba/Al cathode. The devices operated in air with no reduction in efficiency after storage for one week in air.
Alkali‐Metal‐Mediated Manganation(II) of Functionalized Arenes and Applications of ortho‐Manganated Products in Pd‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Reactions with Iodobenzene

Published: November 2007

Extending the recently introduced concept of “alkali‐metal‐mediated manganation” to functionalised arenes, the heteroleptic sodium manganate reagent [(tmeda)Na(tmp)(R)Mn(tmp)] (1; TMEDA=N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine, TMP=2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidide, R=CH2SiMe3) has been treated with anisole or N,N‐diisopropylbenzamide in a 1:1 stoichiometry in hexane. These reactions afforded the crystalline products [(tmeda)Na(tmp)(o‐C6H4OMe)Mn(tmp)] (2) and [(tmeda)Na(tmp){o‐{C(O)N(iPr)2C6H4}Mn(CH2SiMe3)] (3), respectively, as determined from X‐ray crystallographic studies. On the basis of these products, it can be surmised that reagent 1 has acted, at least partially and ultimately, as an alkyl base in the first reaction liberating the silane Me4Si, but as an amido base in the second reaction liberating the amine TMPH. Both of these paramagnetic products 2 and 3 have contacted ion‐pair structures, the key features of which are six‐atom, five‐element (NaNMnCCO) and seven‐atom, five‐element (NaNMnCCCO) rings, respectively. Manganates 2 and 3 were successfully cross‐coupled with iodobenzene under [PdCl2(dppf)] (dppf=1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) catalysis to generate unsymmetrical biaryl compounds in yields of 98.0 and 66.2 %, respectively. Emphasizing the importance of alkali‐metal mediation in these manganation reactions, the bisalkyl Mn reagent on its own fails to metalate the said benzamide, but instead produces the monomeric, donor–acceptor complex [Mn(R)2{(iPr)2NC(Ph)(O)}2] (5), which has also been crystallographically characterised. During one attempt to repeat the synthesis of 2, the butoxide‐contaminated complex [{(tmeda)Na(R)(OBu)(o‐C6H4OMe)Mn}2] (6) was obtained. In contrast to 2 and 3, due to reduced steric constraints, this complex adopts a dimeric arrangement in the crystal, the centrepiece of which is a twelve atom (NaOCCMnC)2 ring.
