Authors: Mazloomy Mahmoodabad Seyed Saeed , Zareipour Moradali , Askarishahi Mohsen , Beigomi Alireza
Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND: The living environment has an impact on the health of the elderly, and the safety of the house is one of the concerns of the elderly. Disregarding the safety concerns increases the falling.
AIM: This research was conducted with the aim of influencing the living environment on falls among elderly people in Urmia city.
METHODS: This is a cross-sectional (descriptive-analytic) study which 200 elderly people were selected by random cluster sampling. Data were collected by using a two-part questionnaire including demographic information, and home safety assessment checklist. Data were analysed by using chi-square test and logistic regression in SPSS v. 21 software.
RESULTS: The incidence of falling in the elderly was 30%. There was a significant statistical association with age, sex, marital status and history of chronic disease. Results of logistic regression showed non-safe stairs (OR = 1.1, p = 0.002), unsafe toilet/bath (OR = 1.3, p = 0.001), unsafe bedrooms (OR = 1.7, p = 0.05) unsafe living room (OR = 1.4, p = 0.02) increase the falls in the elderly, as well as male gender (OR = 1.14, p < 0.001) and living with other people (OR = 0.19, p = 0.002) reduce the falls in the elderly.
CONCLUSION: By identifying the risk factors of the physical space of the home, we can plan for implementing necessary interventions according to the risk factor or risk factors to prevent and reduce the falls in the elderly community.
Eruptive Xanthomas – Two Case Reports With Distinct Features
Authors: Wollina Uwe , Koch André , Hansel Gesina , Schönlebe Jacqueline
Published: November 2018

BACKGROUND: Eruptive xanthomas are rare and often asymptomatic. On the other hand, these cutaneous lesions are a red flag for serious underlying metabolic disorders that demand an early diagnosis to prevent morbidity and mortality.
CASE REPORT: We report on two male patients, aged 23 and 27 years, who presented with eruptive xanthomas. Clinical, histological and laboratory investigations disclosed a metabolic syndrome in the younger patient and an alcohol-induced chylomicronemia in the elder one. Two types of macromorphology of cutaneous lesions were observed. Treatment was tailored according to underlying pathologies and resulted in significant improvement of the metabolic parameters and improvement of skin lesions.
CONCLUSION: Dermatologists should be aware of the diagnostic importance of eruptive xanthomas for serious metabolic disorders.
Projected Medicare Savings Associated With Lowering the Risk of Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision: An Administrative Claims Data Analysis
Authors: Ackerman Stacey J. , Knight Tyler , Wahl Peter M.
Published: November 2018

In the United States, demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and THA revision procedures are increasing due to an aging population, a longer life expectancy, and an increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis. This retrospective cohort study identified patients 65 years and older in the Medicare 5% Standard Analytic Files who underwent THA for osteoarthritis between January 1, 2009, and September 30, 2010. The authors estimated the 5-year cumulative revision risk (CRR) using the Kaplan–Meier method, revision-related complications, and Medicare expenditures. Using a 6.22% compound annual growth rate from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the authors estimated the number of THAs that will be performed from 2018 to 2027 and calculated the 10-year projected savings to Medicare for a 1% reduction in CRR. Among 7820 patients, the mean age was 74.4 years, and 62.4% were female. Cumulative revision risk was 4.2% at 5 years (through September 30, 2015), with 30.8% of revisions occurring within 90 days of the THA. At least 24.4% of revision patients had a complication. Median revision inpatient stay and episode of care (through 90 days) expenditures were $23,847 and $36,157, respectively. With a 1% absolute reduction in CRR, Medicare could save $697 million over a 10-year period, or $985 million when including Medicare Advantage, which represented 29.2% of 2016 Medicare payments. Strategies to reduce the risk of THA revision, such as the use of implant constructs with lower CRR and value-based payment models, are needed to achieve Medicare payment reductions while maintaining or improving quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries.

Una biota transicional Ediacárica–Cámbrica en el anticlinal de Abenójar (Macizo Ibérico, España)
Authors: Simón J.
Published: November 2018

Se describe una secuencia conteniendo una biota transicional ediacárica–cámbrica, en el valle del arroyo de las Navezuelas, anticlinal de Abenójar (Grupo Ibor, Zona Centroibérica, España). La secuencia empieza con capas siliciclásticas de grano fino conteniendo Vendotaenia antiqua y moldes de Cloudina cf. hartmannae, uno de los primeros animales con esqueleto mineralizado. Continúa con carbonatos con Cloudina fosfatizadas, coincidiendo en muestra de mano con Vendotaenia antiqua y con protoconodontos semejantes a Protohertzina unguliformis, lo cual sugiere una edad ediacárica terminal o cámbrica basal. Las capas detríticas sobre este nivel contienen pistas fósiles simples de organismos sedimentívoros. Sobre un estrato superior de carbonatos con pequeños vendoténidos se ha hallado un conjunto de pistas fósiles de aspecto cámbrico, incluyendo Treptichnus pedum y madrigueras ornamentadas semejantes a la superficie ventral de Psammichnites. El hallazgo de protoconodontos es nuevo para la transición Ediacárico–Cámbrico en Europa, y esta es la tercera vez a escala mundial que este tipo de fósiles típicamente cámbricos son hallados junto con cloudínidos, típicamente ediacáricos, lo cual sugiere que la transición Ediacárico–Cámbrico fue biológicamente más gradual de lo que se pensaba anteriormente.
Más allá de algunos lugares comunes: Repensar la potencia política del pensamiento de Jacques Rancière
Authors: Quintana Laura
Published: November 2018

En discusiones sobre filosofía política contemporánea se reiteran una serie de lugares comunes en torno al pensamiento de Rancière que neutralizan la potencia de sus apuestas. Me refiero, en particular, a una comprensión dicotómica de la distinción rancieriana entre policía y política; a una interpretación ontológica de esta diferencia; a una identificación de las reflexiones políticas de Rancière como anti-institucionalistas; y a una lectura de las prácticas de emancipación como si se tratara de algo efímero, sin algún efecto perdurable para el mundo común. En este artículo cuestiono estas lecturas haciendo valer una serie de aspectos significativos de los planteamientos de Rancière, que se pierden de vista en aquellas.
Has de tener un cuerpo que mostrar: el grado cero de los Derechos Humanos
Authors: García López Daniel J.
Published: November 2018

El trabajo analiza la relación entre derechos humanos y biopolítica. A partir de cuatro acontecimientos jurídicos, se estudia cómo los derechos humanos han excluido el cuerpo, politizando la vida desnuda. Las preguntas que se tratan de responder son dos: ¿Es posible una generación (grado) cero de los derechos humanos precisamente en torno a la idea de cuerpo? ¿Podemos articular un derecho ajeno a la lógica inmunitaria de la biopolítica que politiza la nuda vida?
¿Qué Ilustración? Notas sobre El lugar de los poetas, de L. Alegre, y En defensa del populismo, de C. Fernández Liria
Authors: Ramas San Miguel Clara
Published: November 2018

En esta nota revisamos las propuestas de Fernández Liria y Alegre de diagnóstico de la modernidad y su desembocadura en el populismo como fenómeno que condensa algunas de sus aporías. Desde referencias como Robespierre, Hegel o Schmitt discutimos sus tesis y ensayamos una respuesta a las cuestiones del Derecho, la nación o el Estado para indicar algunos puntos de abordaje a los problemas de la universalidad, la identidad y la multipolaridad.
La antropología de los contextos musulmanes desde España: inmigración, islamización e islamofobia
Authors: Téllez Delgado Virtudes , Ramírez Fernández Ángeles
Published: November 2018

Los orígenes de la antropología del islam han estado vinculados a un cierto cuestionamiento epistemológico de la producción de arabistas y orientalistas, de quienes la antropología buscaba distinguirse, con el fin de evitar la reificación del islam y la esencialización de grandes áreas y poblaciones sobre una supuesta base religiosa. Frente al orientalismo, las etnografías priorizaban el conocimiento de la gente y sorteaban los esencialismos. Sin embargo, el fundamento teórico de la antropología del islam ha identificado un objeto, el islam, que en ciertos sentidos reproduce algunas de las perspectivas que tanto se han criticado al arabismo, aunque al mismo tiempo contengan reflexiones fundamentales para nuestro quehacer como antropólogas. Esta cartografía hace un recorrido por las aportaciones de la antropología de los contextos musulmanes en el panorama académico del Estado español, tratando de reconstruir la racionalidad de temas y de enfoques, así como de identificar regularidades, con el objeto de ofrecer una hoja de ruta para orientarse por la enorme producción existente; y de proponer algunos debates que sitúen a la antropología en un lugar no solo académico, sino de producción de discursos públicos crítica y políticamente construidos.
Relatos de vidas en la pobreza. Estrategias individuales de usuarios de la Renta Mínima de Inserción
Authors: Estepa Maestre Francisco , Roca Martínez Beltrán
Published: November 2018

El artículo estudia las diferentes estrategias de usuarios de las Rentas Mínimas de Inserción en España a partir de una revisión de la perspectiva teórica de la acumulación de activos, desarrollada para el estudio de las dinámicas de pobreza y exclusión en otros contextos. Para tal fin, se utilizan tres relatos de vida seleccionados de una muestra más amplia. A partir del análisis de las narraciones biográficas de los sujetos se construye una tipología de estrategias económicas individuales con base en los tipos de activos movilizados.
Herida de política y cárcel. El relato encarnado de una activista
Authors: Esteban Mari Luz
Published: November 2018

El objetivo principal de este artículo es mostrar que, para entender de una manera amplia y compleja el qué y el cómo de algunas transformaciones políticas individuales y colectivas que se están produciendo en el contexto del proceso de paz que está viviendo la sociedad vasca (y en concreto, la de una activista que ha estado varios años en la cárcel), es necesario adentrarnos en la dimensión corporal y de género de las mismas. Asimismo, este análisis se puede enriquecer y diversificar todavía más si reparamos en experiencias emocionales y sensoriales que suelen ser obviadas en la literatura antropológica, como son, en este caso, el olor, la risa, la voz o la vergüenza.
Placer, salud y sociabilidad. El hecho alimentario a través del jamón ibérico
Authors: Amaya-Corchuelo Santiago , Fernández Zarza Mario , Aguilar Criado Encarnación
Published: November 2018

A medida que avanzan los estudios sobre el polisémico ámbito de la alimentación humana, resulta más necesario considerar mayor número de variables para analizar con solvencia el hecho alimentario. Más allá de los estudios sobre las fases de producción y distribución, nuestra propuesta se centra en la fase del consumo y trata de identificar los elementos que explican por qué las sociedades seleccionan y prefieren unos alimentos en detrimento de otros. Actualmente, la selección alimentaria está intrínsecamente presente en el hecho alimentario de las sociedades modernas, relegando a un segundo plano los factores biológicos y fisiológicos, en relación a parámetros dominantes comparados con el placer, la salud y la sociabilidad. Mediante una combinación de técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, este estudio propone la relevancia de dimensiones como el placer y la salud como elementos que guían a los consumidores para elegir un determinado producto gourmet, como es el caso del jamón ibérico en España.
Usages mémoriels de la photographie dans Nexo, un ensayo fotográfico (2001) de Marcelo Brodsky
Authors: Le Corre Hervé
Published: November 2018

Le travail du photographe Marcelo Brodsky (1954) a connu une notoriété mondiale à partir du projet Buena memoria. Un ensayo fotográfico (publié en 1996), puis à travers des œuvres comme Nexo. Un ensayo fotográfico (2001) ou Una memoria en construcción: el debate sobre la ESMA (2005). Cette dernière, clairement située dans le débat mémoriel rendu possible par la fin du mandat du président Carlos Saúl Menem, témoigne non seulement d’une période historique d’investissement de l’État argentin dans les politiques de la mémoire, mais aussi de la volonté de la part des acteurs institutionnels ou privés de ne pas constituer un récit unique de la mémoire de la dictature, de ne pas la « muséifier », en même temps qu’il s’agissait d’assurer la transmission de cette mémoire plurielle à une nouvelle génération (cf. H.I.J.O.S.). Nous nous proposons d’explorer la place des travaux photographiques de Brodsky dans cette construction et cette transmission, à partir surtout du livre Nexo. On y observera, entre autres, comment la photographie est défétichisée, remise en circulation dans l’espace social, comment elle communique.
Le collectionneur du passé Héctor De Mauleón et la chronique d’archives
Authors: Mahieux Viviane
Published: November 2018

Dans ses trois livres de chroniques historiques, El tiempo repentino (2000), El derrumbe de los ídolos (2010) et La ciudad que nos inventa (2015), Héctor De Mauleón décrit des moments clés qui ont défini la ville de Mexico pendant le xixe siècle et la première moitié du xxe siècle. Entre autres, il reconstruit des crimes sordides devenus fameux dans la presse, ainsi que des évenements comme la première émission de radio et le premier avion à survoler la ville. Ses chroniques partent de minutieuses recherches d’archives, mais sont racontées dans un véritable style « new journalism », qui récupère la tension et le suspense qui s’associent plutôt à une narration d’évenements récents. Ce regard vers le passé marque un tournant dans un genre lié d’habitude à une documentation du présent. Je démontrerai ici que De Mauleón offre une cartographie mémorielle de la vie quotidienne à Mexico, menant ainsi à de nouvelles formes de lire et de vivre l’espace urbain. Le Mexique traverse aujourd’hui un moment de grande violence et d’instabilité. Face à cette réalité, il serait facile de dire que le travail d’archives de De Mauleón esquive la responsabilité politique immédiate de la chronique. Je soutiens pourtant qu’au contraire, ses textes utilisent la mémoire historique pour pousser ses lecteurs vers une approche informée et critique de l’actualité mexicaine.

Quel est le rôle de ces souvenirs et quel impact ont-ils dans la logique du récit ? Pourquoi cette place secondaire ? Quelle réalité mettent-ils en perspective ?
« Mon fils, c’est ma petite entreprise ! » Les parcours des enfants autistes entre carence de soins et inégalités sociales en Seine-Saint-Denis
Authors: Chamak Brigitte , Bonniau Béatrice
Published: November 2018

Le rôle de la famille, et en particulier des mères, dans la gestion de la santé et de l’éducation des enfants a été illustré à maintes reprises. Dans le cas de l’autisme, cet engagement dans l’accompagnement des enfants est encore plus flagrant. Élever un enfant autiste peut avoir un impact considérable sur la vie familiale en termes de stress, d’activité professionnelle, d’isolement et de conséquences financières. Aux difficultés quotidiennes partagées par l’ensemble des parents viennent s’ajouter des disparités d’ordre socio-économique. Afin d’illustrer les obstacles qui jalonnent les parcours de soins et la scolarité des enfants autistes, nous avons choisi de nous intéresser au vécu des familles et aux dispositifs mis en œuvre pour accompagner les enfants et leurs parents en Seine-Saint-Denis, département à forte densité de population où la pénurie de places et de moyens concerne aussi bien le secteur public que le secteur privé.
Quand la mort revient au domicile. Familles, patients et soignants face à la fin de vie en hospitalisation à domicile (HAD)
Authors: Voléry Ingrid , Schrecker Cherry
Published: November 2018

Prenant appui sur la monographie d’un service d’HAD (hospitalisation à domicile) situé dans le Nord-Est de la France, cet article met au jour deux types d’accompagnement de la fin de vie au domicile. Le premier prend la forme d’un travail palliatif qui entend rendre la mort ordinaire en l’inscrivant dans les routines domestiques et en invitant les proches à se faire auxiliaires de cette biopolitique déléguée. Le second organise un travail thanatique qui fait passer le patient de “personne en fin de vie” à “mourant” nécessitant des précautions particulières. Loin d’être exclusifs l’un de l’autre, ces deux répertoires de pratiques peuvent coexister, se superposer, se succéder, à mesure de l’avancée dans cette trajectoire de fin de vie. Sous cet angle, le travail palliatif et le travail thanatique constituent à la fois des techniques spatiales, corporelles et relationnelles façonnant l’ontologie du mourant (tantôt “même altéré”, tantôt “corps d’exception”) mais aussi des chronomètres sociaux scandant des temps dans cette période particulièrement confuse et instable qu’est celle de la fin de vie.
Suspected Oseltamivir-Induced Bradycardia in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report from King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Arabi Hisham , Abou Zaid Ahmed , Alreefi Mohammed , Alahmed Salman
Published: November 2018

In recent years, influenza infection in the pediatric population has been a widescale issue that physicians face during the winter season. Medications used to treat and prevent such infections include Oseltamivir, an anti-viral neuraminidase inhibitor developed for both influenzas A and B. The most commonly well-known and manifesting adverse effects are nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal upset. There is paucity of reports on other potential serious side effects of Oseltamivir in the pediatric population. One of the rarely reported adverse reactions in adult population is sinus bradycardia. This case reports the development of sinus bradycardia in a pediatric patient after administration of Oseltamivir. The previously healthy five-year-old patient was started on Oseltamivir after a positive polymerase chain reaction for influenza. The patient developed sinus bradycardia but remained hemodynamically stable. This finding led to consultations and investigations to determine the cause of bradycardia. It is pivotal to increase the awareness of the potential link between Oseltamivir and bradycardia in pediatric and adult populations to avoid unnecessary clinical investigations and to enhance physician decisionmaking. A prospective cohort study on Oseltamivir is needed for better understanding of its adverse effects in the pediatric population.

Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease in which genetic and environmental factors interact causing its pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression pattern of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and β (ERβ) in endometriosis patients compared to normal endometrioum (n=18) as a control by using Quantitative Real Time PCR method. Moreover, we also measured serum estradiol levels of endometriosis patients in the proliferation phase of the menstrual cycle using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The mRNA expression of ERβ was significantly higher in the endometriosis group compared to control, and the result of t-test showed that were significantly different (P<0.05). Overexpression of ERβ in endometriosis was likely to have other significant important impacts in the pathology of endometriosis that allowed ERβ to stimulate prostaglandin production in endometriosis tissue and cells. Estradiol content did not correlate with the ERα expression, and it is weakly correlated with ERβ mRNA expression. Molecular docking analysis showed that ERα and ERβ have different binding interactions with synthetic antiestrogens, whereas the best inhibitor was Ral2 to ERα and Aco1 to ERβ. Thus, both inhibitors could be used as leads in further investigation of ERα, ERβ inhibitory activities in vitro and in vivo.

classified into three categories: Direct Shipping Ore, which can be charged directly into the blast furnaces; Beneficiated Ore, which has been concentrated by various methods and is usually pelletized; and Byproduct Ore, which is derived from mining operations not primarily engaged in the extraction
of iron ore. The areas where these types of iron are produced are indicated on this map along with areas where iron ore production is under development and areas where other known principal occurrences of iron ore are found. The roles of the component plants of the industry may be assessed by some
of their products. Blast furnace plants produce pig iron. Iron and steel furnace plants produce iron, steel and alloy steel casings and ingots. Ferro-a
Drainage Basins and River Flow
Authors:   Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows drainage basins and river flow. The delimited drainage basins cover all Canadian land and fresh water areas. The areas of many drainage basins are written on the map. These areas
do not include diversions (thus, the Albany does not include the area of its basin diverted to the St. Lawrence system). As well, the Interior Drainage class is not considered tributary and the areas it covers are not included in the total figure for the Hudson Bay Basin. At 23 selected gauging
stations the average discharge in thousands of cubic feet per second is indicated along with the recorded maximum, minimum and average discharge. The data on river flow is derived from gauging station records for periods that vary considerably from river to river. For many rivers accurate data is
not available. Two graphs are included, one denoting the areas of principal lakes, and the second showing the lengths of principal rivers.

Frost
Authors:   Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that consists of three maps based on the occurrence of a temperature of 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) or lower in a standard thermometer shelter at a level of four feet above the ground. Frost
may occur at grass level when the temperature in the shelter remains above freezing. On the other hand, freezing temperatures in the thermometer shelter are a definite indication of frost at grass level. The maps, showing the mean dates of the first occurrence in the fall and the last occurrence in
the spring of a temperature of 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), are representative of different localities in the country. The mean annual frost-free period is the average number of days between the last frost in the spring and the first frost in the fall.

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows four maps, one for each of January, April, July and October showing mean sea-level pressure in millibars. These maps were prepared from atmospheric pressure readings taken daily
at 00, 06, 12 and 18 hours G.M.T. during the period 1940 to 1949 inclusive, except for the area north of 72.5 degrees N, where the period was 1948 to 1953 inclusive (and for which the results were adjusted to the 1940 to 1949 period). Ten mean sea-level pressure maps were drawn for each of the
selected months in these periods using averages of the observed pressure. Then a grid system was superimposed over these maps and the pressure at 200 points read off. From these figures the mean maps reproduced here were drawn.

Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows a map of three condensed maps of the location and capacity of Canadian hospitals circa 1951. The largest map shows the pattern for general hospitals, which are hospitals treating
basically all forms of illness. The second map shows mental hospitals, which are institutions where psychiatric disorders are treated. The third map shows special hospitals - these are institutions treating particular types of illness such as chronic conditions, and those treating communicable
diseases (such as sanatoria for tuberculosis). All maps use similar mapping formats. Part of this format is the use of a single symbol to combine the bed totals for all hospitals of the particular type in a single city.

Ranges of Principal Commercial Trees
Authors:   Canada Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
Published: November 2018

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows 20 condensed maps of tree species native to Canada. There are 171 different species, but many of these are of little or no commercial importance in addition to, in many cases,
having a very restricted range. The maps on this plate show the ranges of the 35 species of economic importance. The range maps are similar to those used in the 1949 edition of Forestry Branch Bulletin 61, Native Trees of Canada. Shades of green indicate the ranges of the coniferous species commonly
known as softwoods. The brown tints show the ranges of the broadleaved, mostly deciduous species, commonly referred to as hardwoods.
