Newborns, infants and epilepsy – the missing piece of software
Authors: Lahtiranta Janne , Lähdetie Jaana
Published: March 2018

Diagnosing epilepsy on a small child is a challenge. A child’s brain undergoes tremendous changes during the first years, creating new neural connections every second. It follows from this that what the parents and the physician may regard as abnormal behavior, can be perfectly normal. However, in some cases the abnormal behavior may be caused by epilepsy. In that case, either a detailed description of the seizure or, preferably, an eye-witness’ recording of it is invaluable in terms of making an accurate diagnosis. Naturally, an EEG is also needed. Obtaining relevant, detailed information from parents is not always a straightforward matter. In order to enable collecting more accurate information about episodes that are potentially epileptic, new practices and technologies are needed. In the following viewpoint we present what can be called the missing piece of software.
Childhood cancer incidence in Canada: demographic and geographic variation of temporal trends (1992–2010)
Authors: Xie Lin , Onysko Jay , Morrison Howard
Published: March 2018

Introduction

Surveillance of childhood cancer incidence trends can inform etiologic
research, policy and programs. This study presents the first population-based report on
demographic and geographic variations in incidence trends of detailed pediatric diagnostic
groups in Canada.

Methods

The Canadian Cancer Registry data were used to calculate annual age-standardized
incidence rates (ASIRs) from 1992 to 2010 among children less than
15 years of age by sex, age and region for the 12 main diagnostic groups and selected
subgroups of the International Classification of Childhood Cancer (ICCC), 3rd edition.
Temporal trends were examined by annual percent changes (APCs) using Joinpoint
regression.

Results

The ASIRs of childhood cancer among males increased by 0.5% (95% confidence
interval (CI) = 0.2–0.9) annually from 1992 to 2010, whereas incidence among
females increased by 3.2% (CI = 0.4–6.2) annually since 2004 after an initial stabilization.
The largest overall increase was observed in children aged 1–4 years (APC = 0.9%,
CI = 0.4–1.3). By region, the overall rates increased the most in Ontario from 2006 to
2010 (APC = 5.9%, CI = 1.9–10.1), and increased non-significantly in the other regions
from 1992 to 2010. Average annual ASIRs for all cancers combined from 2006 to 2010
were lower in the Prairies (149.4 per million) and higher in Ontario (170.1 per million).
The ASIRs increased for leukemias, melanoma, carcinoma, thyroid cancer, ependymomas
and hepatoblastoma for all ages, and neuroblastoma in 1–4 year olds. Astrocytoma
decreased in 10–14 year olds (APC = −2.1%, CI = −3.7 to −0.5), and among males
(APC = −2.4%, CI = −4.6 to −0.2) and females (APC = −3.7%, CI = −5.8 to −1.6)
in Ontario over the study period.

Conclusion

Increasing incidence trends for all cancers and selected malignancies are
consistent with those reported in other developed countries, and may reflect the
changes in demographics and etiological exposures, and artefacts of changes in cancer
coding, diagnosis and reporting. Significant decreasing trend for astrocytoma in late
childhood was observed for the first time.
Ajout d’équivalents des groupes alimentaires au Questionnaire canadien de fréquence alimentaire II pour estimer l’Indice canadien de saine alimentation-2005
Authors: McInerney Maria , Ho Vikki , Koushik Anita , Massarelli Isabelle , Rondeau Isabelle , McCormack Gavin R. , Csizmadi Ilona
Published: March 2018

Introduction

Il a été prouvé qu’un régime alimentaire de piètre qualité augmente le
risque de maladies chroniques courantes susceptibles de nuire à la qualité de vie et
d'alourdir le fardeau qui pèse sur le système de santé. Les recommandations fondées sur
des données probantes du Guide alimentaire canadien (GAC) fournissent des conseils
nutritionnels destinés à améliorer la qualité du régime alimentaire. L’Indice canadien de
saine alimentation (ICSA), un outil de mesure de la qualité du régime alimentaire, permet
d'évaluer la conformité au GAC. Le Questionnaire canadien de fréquence alimentaire II
(QFA-C II) [Canadian Diet History Questionnaire II, C-DHQ II], mis au point récemment,
pourrait quant à lui servir à estimer l’ICSA au sein de la population canadienne si on
pouvait ajouter à sa base de données sur les éléments nutritifs les équivalents des groupes
alimentaires (correspondant aux portions du GAC). Nous décrivons dans cet article des
méthodes destinées à enrichir cette base de données sur les éléments nutritifs du QFA-C II
en vue d’estimer l’ICSA.

Méthodologie

Nous avons créé des équivalents des groupes alimentaires à partir de
données provenant de diverses bases de données sur les aliments et les éléments nutritifs,
en particulier l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes, cycle 2.2 Nutrition
de 2004. Nous avons ajouté ces variables à la base de données sur les éléments nutritifs
du QFA-C II. Nous avons déterminé les scores de l’ICSA et avons effectué des analyses
descriptives pour les participants qui ont répondu au QFA-C II dans le cadre d’une étude
transversale canadienne.

Résultats

Le score moyen de l’ICSA dans notre échantillon de 446 adultes de 20 à 83 ans
était de 64,4 (écart-type : 10,8). Les femmes, les non-fumeurs et les personnes ayant un
niveau de scolarité supérieur au secondaire ont obtenu de manière statistiquement significative
des notes plus élevées que les hommes, les fumeurs et les personnes détenant un
diplôme d’études secondaires ou moins.

Conclusion

La possibilité d’évaluer l’ICSA à l’aide du QFA-C II facilite l’étude de la
qualité du régime alimentaire et de l'état de santé de la population canadienne.
At-a-glance - Traumatic brain injury management in Canada: changing patterns of care
Authors: Rao Deepa P. , McFaull Steven , Thompson Wendy , Jayaraman Gayatri C.
Published: March 2018

Introduction

With growing awareness about traumatic brain injuries (TBI), there is
limited information about population level patterns of TBI care in Canada.

Methods

We examined data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (years 2004,
2009, and 2014) among all respondents ages 12 years and older. TBI management characteristics
examined included access to care within 48 hours of injury, point of care,
hospital admission, and follow-up.

Results

We observed that many Canadians sought care within 48 hours of their injury,
with no changes over time. We found a significant decline in the proportion of Canadians
opting to visit an emergency department (p = 0.03, all ages), and a significant increase
in youth opting to visit a doctor’s office (p $lt; 0.01).

Conclusion

TBIs are an important and growing health concern in Canada. Care for
such injuries appears to have shifted towards the use of health care professionals outside
the hospital environment, including primary care doctors.
DE L’HÉRITAGE DANS LE RÉCIT DE FILIATION AU MASCULIN
Authors: ANDREI Carmen
Published: March 2018

On Heritage in the Filiation Narrative in the Male Gender. My article analyses a testimony of the return to origins published in 2009 by a famous voice in the contemporary Canadian French literature: Dany Laferrière, L’énigme du retour. The novel is built on the double geographical and mental route past-present, present-past, between the country of origin and the adoptive countries (Quebec and the United States), on activating individual and collective memory, on a favorite topos of the postmodern climate, viz. identity interrogation. It is complex, necessary to gaining wisdom. Once understood, accepted, assumed, it is no way perceived as heart-wrenching or vindictive, but instead it helps the author regain peace and evolve. The exile means liberation and return, identity loss and regain. This is a complex autobiography, with the most intimate writing of intimacy, an archeological inquiry collecting bribes/remnants of a troubled past. For Dany Laferrière, the direct paternal affiliation is sublimated, it fails, the heritage is taken over by a spiritual father and it aims at being relegated to the grandson. 
REZUMAT. Despre moştenire în romanul de filiaţie masculină. Articolul analizează o mărturie a întoarcerii la origini publicată în 2009 de o voce contemporană celebră în literatura canadiană de expresie franceză: Dany Laferrière, L’énigme du retour. Romanul este construit pe o dublă călătorie geografică şi mentală între trecut şi prezent, prezent şi trecut, între ţara de origine şi ţările de adopţie (Québec şi Statele Unite), antrenând atât memoria individuală, cât şi cea colectivă. Căutarea (şi găsirea) identităţii, proces complex, necesar pentru înţelepţire, este un topos de predilecţie în climatul postmodern. Odată înţeleasă, acceptată şi asumată, identitatea nu este percepută ca sfâşietoare sau vindicativă, ci, în schimb, îl ajută pe autor să-şi redobândească pacea şi să meargă mai departe, să evolueze. Exilul înseamnă eliberare şi întoarcere, pierderea şi recâştigarea identităţii. Avem de-a face cu o autobiografie complexă, cu o scriitură a intimului, cu o anchetă arheologică ce colectează frânturi dintr-un trecut tulbure. Dacă pentru Dany Laferrière filiaţia paternă este sublimată, chiar ratată, el devine la rândul lui părinte spiritual pentru nepotul lui căruia îi va transmite moştenirea.

QUAND LE RÉEL SE TRANSFORME EN FICTION. LE CAS DE "LA BIEN-AIMÉE DE KANDAHAR" DE FELICIA MIHALI
Authors: EIBEN Ileana Neli
Published: March 2018

When Reality Changes into Fiction: Felicia Mihali’s La bien-aimée de Kandahar [The darling of Kandahar]. Writers often write their works using different aspects borrowed from reality. La bien-aimée de Kandahar written by Felicia Mihali is a novel that seems to be based on a real fact, a story between two young Canadians, Kinga Ilyes, a young woman of Romanian origin, and Christos Kariginnis, a young soldier of Greek origin. This sequence published in the magazine Maclean’s was borrowed from reality by the author and transformed in a real literary work. In this article, we aim at measuring the degree of fictionality of the text. In order to achieve this, we will first search for the referential indices at a paratextual level and then analyse the borrowings from reality made by the author of this text, as well as their fictionalisation.

Autoarea a împrumutat această istorisire din paginile revistei Maclean’s și a transformat-o într-o operă literară în sine. În acest articol, ne propunem să măsurăm gradul de ficționalitate al romanului analizat. În acest sens, ne vom îndrepta mai întâi atenția asupra paratextului și vom căuta indicii ale referențialității, urmând ca mai apoi să descoperim la nivelul textului împrumuturile din lumea reală pe care le-a făcut scriitoarea și modul în care acestea au fost transpuse în ficțiune.

LA MÉMOIRE ET LE RÉCIT AUTOBIOGRAPHIQUE DANS "LA KERMESSE" DE DANIEL POLIQUIN
Authors: COMȘA Dorin
Published: March 2018

Memory and Autobiographical Narrative in Daniel Poliquin’s La Kermesse. The present article intends to provide a critical analysis of the narrative in La Kermesse, a novel by Daniel Poliquin. Our analytical standpoint is Paul Ricoeur’s theory on memory and narrative, with special focus on autobiography. We also use concepts such as narrative coherence and representation. Our purpose is to demonstrate that through characters’ shared memory, narrative identities make use of recollections in order to retrieve an unknown, overlooked or forgotten past, which was not fully experienced. Our approach focuses on both the characters’ temporal evolution and the convergence of narrative sequences towards a textual unity adding verisimilitude to the narrative.
REZUMAT. Memoria și textul narativ în La Kermesse de Daniel Poliquin. Ne propunem în acest articol să facem o analiză a narațiunii în romanul La Kermesse de Daniel Poliquin pornind de la teoriile lui Paul Ricœur despre memorie în textul narativ (autobiografie, în cazul de față). Utilizăm conceptele de coerență narativă și de reprezentare. Constatăm că identitățile narative fac apel la amintiri pentru a reconstrui un trecut necunoscut, trăit parțial, ignorat sau uitat, datorită memoriei împărtășite a personajelor. Problema care se pune în această abordare critică este aceea a evoluției personajelor în timp și convergența secvențelor narative înspre o unitate textuală care îi dă verosimilitate narațiunii.

DOUNIA, ENTRE NOSTALGIE ET MÉLANCOLIE ("LE BONHEUR A LA QUEUE GLISSANTE" D’ABLA FARHOUD)
Authors: JIȘA Simona
Published: March 2018

Dounia, between nostalgia and melancholia (Le Bonheur a la queue glissante d’Abla Farhoud). The aim of this article is to analyze the novel Le Bonheur a la queue glissante written by Abla Farhoud (a Canadian writer of Lebanese origins) by following a two-way sentimental pattern: nostalgia and melancholia. We are of the opinion that these feelings are an indelible characteristic of this autobiographic novel which tells us the story of a Lebanese woman who has always lived with the feeling of being an eternal immigrant. Nevertheless, the writing process, which is a nostalgic one aimed to recover a lost paradise, cannot be understood as part of melancholia. Regarding the latter, we further analyze its sources and ways of manifestation.
REZUMAT. Dounia, între nostalgie și melancolie (Le Bonheur a la queue glissante d’Abla Farhoud). În acest articol ne propunem să analizăm romanul Le Bonheur a la queue glissante de Abla Farhoud (scriitoare canadiancă de origine libaneză) după o grilă cu două intrări « sentimentale » : nostalgia și melancolia. Aceste sentimente constitue, după părerea noastră, marca individualizatoare a acestui roman autobiografic care descrie melancolia resimțită de o femeie de origine libaneză care s-a simțit întodeauna o eternă imigrantă. Actul scrierii, act nostalgic de recuperare al unui paradis pierdut, nu poate fi deloc înțeles fără această compozantă, melancolia, ale carei surse și forme de manifestare sunt obiectivul analizei noastre.

L’ESPACE COMME RÉINVENTION DU SOI CHEZ HÉLÈNE FRÉDÉRICK ET JOCELYNE SAUCIER
Authors: BEAULÉ Sophie
Published: March 2018

Space as Reinvention of the Self in Hélène Frédérick and Jocelyne Saucier. In both Forêt contraire (2014), by Hélène Frédérick, and Il pleuvait des oiseaux (2011), by Jocelyne Saucier, a forest becomes a place of personal transformation, through which characters undergo a ritual of passage. In the separation phase, as anthropologist Victor Turner calls it, the characters leave the community to enter the forest, a liminary space in which they can resolve their problems of identity. Within the sacred space of the forest, cabins play a key role, as they allow not only interpersonal communication but also the expression of art. Art is the means by which the characters are reintegrated into the society to which they return.

În Forêt contraire (2014) de Hélène Frédérick și Il pleuvait des oiseaux (2011) de Jocelyne Saucier pădurea devine un loc al transformării personale unde fiecare personaj est supus unui ritual de trecere. În faza separării, cum o numește antropologul Victor Tuner, personajele părăsesc comunitatea pentru a intra în pădure, un spațiu liminar în care pot să își rezolve problemele de identitate. În spațiul sacru al pădurii, cabanele joacă un rol cheie, fiindcă permit nu numai comunicarea interpersonală, ci și exprimarea artistică. Arta este scopul prin care fiecare personaj e reintegrat în societatea în care se va reîntoarce.

The objective of this paper is to foster the notion that curriculum can serve as a standpoint to improving the quality of education. By stating so, it proposes an argument thatÂ the effectiveness of their implementations do not only depend on comprehensiveness of theÂ concept, but also on their relevance to the circumstances in which they are going to beÂ implemented. They include teacher competencies and the adequate availability of educationÂ facilities at school level. The on going curriculum development called Curriculum 2013 by theÂ Ministry of Education and Culture are undergoing scrutinization by publics. This has been a consequence of curriculum as a part of education policies. Some cast doubts about the concept,Â some other support the idea of the development of curriculum 2013.

In general, the implementation of education in Indonesia during the last few years has been conducted classically, by giving the same treatment to the learners though they have different talent, interest, and ability. This condition results in misfortune for those who have special talent,Â  interest and ability, and this would eventually affect their respective achievement, underachievement. Actually the implementation of education for those who have talent, interest, and abilityÂ  in senior high school could be any program, such as acceleration and credit semester programs, as well as the enrichment programme, for example by providing comprehensive activity involving themselves at any study program in any faculty of a university adjacent to them. In the university they are requested to take subject matter which is interesting to them. Some programs for the students concerned could be conducted both in inclusive and exlusive classes, and a particular school.ABSTRAKÂ Penyelenggaraan pendidikan di Indonesia selama ini pada umumnya bersifat klasikalmassal, yaitu memberikan perlakuan yang sama terhadap semua peserta didik yang memiliki perbedaan bakat, minat, kemampuan, dan kecepatan belajar. Peserta didik yang memiliki kecerdasan istimewa bila tidak mendapatkan pelayanan pendidikan sesuai dengan kebutuhannya dapat mengakibatkan prestasinya di bawah potensinya. Penyelenggaraan pendidikan bagi peserta didik SMA yang memiliki kecerdasan istimewa dapat berupa: program percepatan yang dapat dilakukan dengan penyelenggaraan sistem akselerasi dan sistem kredit semester; dan program pengayaan, yang dapat dilakukan dengan pendalaman minat, yaitu mengikuti kuliah pada program studi dan fakultas tertentu di perguruan tinggi setempat, dengan mengambil mata kuliah sesuai mata pelajaran kelompok peminatan yang dipilihnya. Penyelenggaraan berbagai program pendidikan bagi peserta didik SMA yang memiliki kecerdasan istimewa dapat dilakukan dengan program khusus di kelas biasa (kelas inklusif), kelas khusus, dan satuan pendidikan khusus.

Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) merupakan provinsi kepulauan, dimana transportasi laut sangat vital dan strategis dalam mendukung mobilitas orang dan distribusi barang/ jasa. Adanya transportasi laut yang andal diharapkan dapat lebih mempercepat pembangunan dan pengembangan wilayah tersebut. Transportasi laut hendaknya dapat menghubungkan wilayah tertinggal dengan pusat-pusat pertumbuhan, baik yang berada di dalam Provinsi NTT maupun dengan provinsi lain. Kondisi sarana dan prasarana transportasi laut Provinsi NTT belum sepenuhnya dapat menghubungkan antar wilayah/ pulau yang berada di provinsi tersebut dan dengan wilayah provinsi lain. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memberikan rekomendasi pengembangan transportasi laut, sehingga terdapat konektivitas antar pelabuhan yang terdapat di Provinsi NTT dan dengan pelabuhan provinsi lain. Analisis dilakukan secara komprehensif dengan analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian mengemukakan bahwa sebagai upaya pengembangan transportasi laut dalam upaya meningkatkan konektivitas di wilayah Nusa Tenggara timur diperlukan langkah-langkah pengembangan berupa peningkatan jumlah dan volume muatan kapal, penerapan strategi pengembangan jaringan/ trayek, perubahan dan penambahan pada jaringan trayek, penempatan kapal yang sesuai, penambahan frekuensi dan konektivitas, sinkronisasi jadwal angkutan laut, optimalisasi sarana prasarana transportasi yang sudah ada, dan peningkatan sarana/ prasarana pelabuhan.

RESUMO O objetivo do presente trabalho é a análise de confiabilidade quanto à ruptura geotécnica das estacas de uma área do cais modernizado do Porto Novo de Rio Grande, RS, Brasil. O carregamento característico sobre as estacas foi obtido a partir de dados descritos no memorial de cálculo da obra, considerando-se diversas relações entre as parcelas permanente e variável das cargas. A capacidade de carga das estacas foi estimada a partir das negas medidas ao final da cravação, através da adoção de uma fórmula dinâmica. O Método das Estimativas Pontuais foi adotado na avaliação das dispersões dos carregamentos e das capacidades de carga das estacas. A partir das curvas de distribuição de probabilidades dos carregamentos e das capacidades de carga, foram calculados os índices de confiabilidade e as probabilidades de ruína da área do cais em estudo, para diversos cenários de variabilidade dos carregamentos. De acordo com a literatura na área da engenharia de fundações, são geralmente considerados aceitáveis valores de índices de confiabilidade superiores a 3,09, que conduzem a probabilidades de ruína inferiores a 1/1000 eventos. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo apresentam-se superiores ao valor indicado na literatura, portanto comprovando a segurança e a confiabilidade da obra.  Palavras-chave: Fundações; Confiabilidade; Método das Estimativas Pontuais.

Objective: A 31-gene expression profile (GEP) test that has been clinically validated identifies melanoma patients with low (Class 1) or high (Class 2) risk of metastasis based on primary tumor biology.  This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the test impact on clinical management of melanoma patients.Methods:  Physicians at 16 dermatology, surgical or medical oncology centers examined patients to assess clinical features of the primary melanoma.  Recommendations for clinical follow-up and surveillance were collected.  Following consent of the patient and performance of the GEP test, recommendations for management were again collected, and pre- and post-test recommendations were assessed to determine changes in management resulting from the addition of GEP testing to traditional clinicopathologic risk factors.   Results:  Post-test management plans changed for 49% (122 of 247) of cases in the study when compared to pre-test plans. Thirty-six percent (66 of 181) of Class 1 cases had a management change, compared to 85% (56 of 66) of Class 2 cases.  GEP class was a significant factor for change in care during the study (p<0.001), with Class 1 accounting for 91% (39 of 43) of cases with decreased management intensity, and Class 2 accounting for 72% (49 of 68) of cases with increases.Conclusions: The reported study show that the 31-gene GEP test improves net health outcomes in the management of cutaneous melanoma.  Physicians used test results to guide risk-appropriate changes that match the biological risk of the tumor, including directing more frequent and intense surveillance to high-risk, Class 2 patients.

Published: March 2018

Lichen planopilaris (LPP) and its variant frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a disfiguring alopecia that rarely yields satisfactory hair transplantation results. Grafts may grow initially only to be obliterated by re-activation of the disease within the first few months to years post-transplant. Here, we detail the management of a patient who was diagnosed and treated for breast carcinoma after her diagnosis of LPP/FFA. Two years after completion of chemotherapy, the patient presented with quiescence of her LPP and successfully underwent hair transplantation by follicular unit transplantation method. She has maintained the grafts without re-activation of her scarring alopecia for 7 years – a success we attribute to chemotherapy.

The absence of blood flow in the testicle is classically thought to be secondary to testicular torsion; however, other etiologies of compromised testicular blood flow have been described. We present an unusual case of testicular ischemia secondary to an inguinal hernia. A 58-year-old male presented to the emergency department with right-sided scrotal pain and swelling. Color-flow Doppler ultrasound evaluation demonstrated lack of blood flow in the right testicle and a right-sided inguinal hernia. The testicular blood flow was re-established with reduction of an inguinal hernia.
