Le moi et ses simulacres. Éclatements identitaires dans la nouvelle dramaturgie russe
Authors: Autant-Mathieu Marie-Christine
Published: July 2015

The article studies the plays written by Evgeny Grichkovets and the Presniakov brothers. Each of these authors questions, in his own way, the identity of young people living in Russian society which has rejected the communist values according to which their parents were raised. These young people have to face, at the beginning of the 21st century, a world invaded by violence, wars and terrorism. The huge success met by Grichkovets is due to a complete break with the current rules of dramatic representation. Grichkovets has declared over and over that he is no playwright, actor or director. He is « himself», he places his self in front of the public for an exchange. The Presniakov brothers, unlike Grichkovets, write plays dealing with existential questions in a grotesque, fantastic and caustic way. Their nightmarish stories, told in episodes as TV serials, present totally insensitive characters. Sensitive and emotional or, on the contrary, inertia-driven and devoid of any sensibility, the characters of the new Russian drama break radically with the cult of a social and moral order, the will and reason endorsed by Soviet heroes.
Quelques réflexions sur la pègre et le pouvoir dans le pays des Soviets. De Staline à Poutine
Authors: Ackerman Galia
Published: July 2015

The paper considers different aspects of a complicated relationship between the communist power and the criminal world. Why did Stalin's regime use criminals to control political prisoners in the concentration camps ? Why did simple citizens and the intelligentsia have so much sympathy for criminals during most of the Soviet period ? How did the criminal world integrate the post-Soviet business elite ? What is its influence on the moral values of the new Russian society ?
D'un Revizor à l'autre (petite histoire du « mal russe » à travers ses représentations scéniques)
Authors: Autant-Mathieu Marie-Christine

From one Revizor to another : a short history of Russian evil through Revizor 's performances

Considered by Gogol as a crystallization of Russian evil, Revizor has served since 1 836 to enlighten the state of the theatre and society, both before and after the advent of stage directing. When the play was created at the Aleksandra Imperial Theatre, Gogol discovered the inadequacy of the actors of his time with the requirements of the work. The writer advocated a deeply felt, internalized style of acting. Stanislavski based his work with the actor on the principles of a natural, emotional, coherent playing and, not unexpectedly, worked on Revizor at every key moment of his career (1908, 1921, 1937). The history surrounding the performances of Revizor at the beginning of the 20th century focuses on an alternative approach : individual and inventive actors playing or innovative concepts for stage directing. In the 1970s, Revizor, as a genuine classic, charted the progress of theatrical work and expressed civic concerns. After the fall of the Soviet Union and the first blows of wild capitalism, V. Fokine, in 2002, developed the theme of madness in his version of Revizor. By 2009, Koliada's Revizor belonged to a folk repertoire with its songs, rituals and picturesque figures., After serving as a test for the history of theatre and national history, Gogol today seems to have come to the right pitch with the collective unconscious.
Ernestina Pfeffel, l'épouse alsacienne de Fedor Tiouttchev
Authors: Klimovskiy Konstantin
Published: July 2015

The article focuses on the life of Ernestina Pfeffel-Dôrnberg, the second wife of the Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev. The young woman, whom the poet and diplomat met in Munich, was of Alsatian descent, though her father had left Alsace during the French Revolution to serve various German courts. Among her relatives was Gabriel Konrad Pfeffel, a minor poet and aufklàrer from Colmar, who hosted many Russian travelers and students at the end of the 1 8th century. Following Fyodor Tyutchev to Russia, Ernestina Pfeffel fell in love with Tjutchev's estate of Ovstug, where she led a secluded way of life, probably inspired by Alsatian Lutheran morals. She remained faithfull to the poet after he started an affair with another woman, Elena Denisyeva, and dedicated her last years, after Tyutchev's death, to collecting and publishing his literary works.
Les Alsaciens-Lorrains prisonniers en Russie pendant la Grande Guerre (1914-1922)
Authors: Grandhomme Jean-Noël
Published: July 2015

The article focuses on the fate of German soldiers originating from the Alsace and Lorraine regions, taken prisonners by the Russian army during the first World War. As the French Republic, Russia's main ally against Germany, considered that most of them had been enroled into the German army against their will, they were taken care off and repatriated to France. This process supposed to sign an agreement with the Russian authorities and to sort the prisonners, in order to identify among them the Germans who wanted to escape the battlefields by pretending to come from France's lost provinces. After dealing with these two aspects of the question, the article adresses such issues as the social reinsertion of these POWs after their repatriation and the impact of the October revolution on the repatriation process itself.
Les enjeux linguistiques et la construction de l'identité nationale au Kazakhstan
Authors: Abiyeva Karlygash
Published: July 2015

Contemporary Kazakh society is a mixed society, in which cohabitate traditional Kazakh culture, the Soviet heritage and contemporary culture. Since the time of independence, the Republic of Kazakhstan has been building a new Kazakh national identity, indifferent to the existing situation of bilinguism (Russian and Kazakh). The national policy of "kazakhstanisation" has been implemented since 1991 in public institutions, mass media and education. The article aims at analyzing the language issues in post-Soviet Kazakhstan in relation with the construction of national identity. The analysis is based on Anderson's concept of "national imaginary" and Gellner's conception of nation. First, the article shows the role of the Russian language in the "national imagination" from the points of view of history and demography (the accession to the Russian Empire, the migration and settlement of different ethnic groups), and from the point of view of sociology (the Russian language as a symbol of urban culture and social mobility, as the language of elite education). The current reorganisation of Kazakhstan's linguistic landscape is conditioned by the return of the Kazakh diaspora from abroad. These immigrants, called "Oralman", are largely Kazakh speaking. For historical, geographical and social reasons the Russian language occupies so far the strongest position in Kazakhstan's national imagination. But the policy of kazakhstanization, which brings an enlargement of the social functions associated with the use of the Kazakh language, could very well change the situation in the future.

Mechanical and Water Transport Properties of HSC with Different SCMs
Authors: Koťátková Jaroslava , Koňáková Dana , Vejmelková Eva , Reiterman Pavel , Siddique Jamal Akhter
Published: July 2015

Pozzolanic materials and their usage in concrete production are nowadays widely spread. Their application as additives is inherent especially for the purpose of high strength concrete. This article deals with evaluation and comparison of the influence of two different supplementary cementitious materials on the properties of high strength concrete: natural pozzolana (NP) and finely crushed brick (FCB). The studied characteristics are basic physical properties with connection to mechanical parameters, and next to this, characterization of water transport. In the scope of this study results revealed better pertinence of finely crushed brick, as the appropriate replacement of cement was found out to be up to 30%, whilst for natural pozzolana only 10% of cement substitution is favourable. The open porosity as the first indicator of both mechanical and water transport properties appeared to be lower in all studied mixtures with FCB than in the case of NP. With increasing ratio of the additive to cement there is significant worsening of mechanical and water transport parameters when NP is involved. The behaviour of mixtures with FCB is better even when high amount of cement is substituted.
Transport of Liquids in Porous Rocks
Authors: Keppert Martin , Čáchová Monika , Koňáková Dana
Published: July 2015

The rate of transport of liquids in porous environment is crucial engineering problem. It has importance in many fields like chemical engineering, hydropedology, economic geology and also in building materials science. The intensity of a liquid transport in porous body can be analyzed be means of three concepts – sorptivity, permeability and diffusivity. The approaches applied in field of porous rocks are discussed. Water absorption coefficients of set of sedimentary rocks of wide porosity range were determined experimentally and the relationship between them and specific pore volume of rocks was found.
The Influence of Chloride and Nitrite Solution Exposure on Mechanical Properties of Industrially Produced Plaster Mixtures
Authors: Pokorný Jaroslav , Pavlíková Milena , Pavlík Zbyšek
Published: July 2015

Lime and cement-lime industrially produced dry plaster mixtures are widely used building materials. These surface treatments can come into the contact with salt solutions which cause their degradation. On this account, the influence of calcium nitrate and calcium chloride water solution exposure on mechanical properties of several commercially produced mortars is researched in the paper. The prismatic specimens having dimensions of 40/40/160 mm are cured 28 days in humid environment. Then, the studied specimens are stored 112 days in both salt solutions and reference environment of distilled water. At specific time intervals, the compressive and bending strengths are measured and the obtained data are discussed.
Classification of a-SiO2 Rich Materials
Authors: Záleská Martina , Pavlíková Milena , Pavlík Zbyšek
Published: July 2015

The powder materials containing active SiO2, which are used as pozzolanic active materials in cement mixtures, can be classified in consideration of their pozzolana activity, particle size or reactivity. In this paper, several types of metakaoline are studied using Frattini and modified Chapelle test for pozzolanic activity determination. The particle size analysis is measured using the laser diffraction analyser and the differences in the chemical composition are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The obtained data show influence of particle size and chemical composition of tested powders on their pozzolanic activity, which corresponds with the results of Frattini and modified Chapelle test.
Influence of Selected Pozzolanas on Basic Physical and Mechanical Properties of HSC
Authors: Vejmelková Eva , Čáchová Monika , Koťátková Jaroslava
Published: July 2015

Crushed brick (CB) used in high strength concrete as partial replacement of cement is the subject of this paper. It is a waste material and so its exploitation is needed to be found. Concrete industry can be proper area as CB is a fine material and is pozzolanic active. Basic physical properties and mechanical properties were investigated. Open porosity and bulk density achieved the best values when 30% of cement was replaced by CB. Matrix density decreased with rising addition ratio. The values of compressive strength was the highest for 30% replacement level and with 60% addition ratio were not lower than for the reference mixture. The conclusion is, that according to studied parameters 30% of cement substituted by CB is the most profitable addition ratio.

Authors: Scheinherrová Lenka , Trník Anton , Kulovaná Tereza , Černý Robert
Published: July 2015

We study the hydration and pozzolanic reactions of cement pastes made from Portland cement (CEM I 32.5 R) from the Czech Republic as a function of age, using thermogravimetry. The measurements are done for 2, 7, 28, 90, and 180 days cured samples in order to monitor the rate of hydration. The investigation is performed in the temperature range from 25 °C to 1000 °C with a heating rate 5 °C/min in an argon atmosphere. The mass change during the decomposition of calcium silicate hydrate gels, portlandite, and calcite are determined, and the changes in the portlandite amount are estimated in dependence on the time of hydration.

Published: July 2015

Present paper deals with experimental study of refractories manufactured with environmentally friendly materials. Performed research was focused on the development of new type of high temperature resistant composites with mineral addition applied as cement supplementary material. To reach suitable resistance to temperatures was chosen binder system based on aluminous cement which was modified by metashale. Developed composites went through the gradual thermal loading and residual mechanical and basic physical properties were investigated. Realized program confirmed good potential for practical utilization of metashale as an aluminous cement replacement. Present research offer an interesting way of reducing of costs and negative environmental impacts.
Properties of Concrete with Lower Amount of SCM
Authors: Vejmelková Eva , Koňáková Dana , Rovnaníková Pavla
Published: July 2015

Basic physical properties, pore structure, hygric properties and frost resistance concrete containing supplementary cementing materials. The amount of SCMs was kept constant to replace 10% of cement. Experimental results show that bulk density and matrix density of studied material vary only slightly except the mixture with fine natural pozzolana which achieved lower values in comparison with the reference material. This is in agreement with open porosity and transport of liquid water - its highest values manifest the worst performance of fine natural pozzolana among the studied materials. Frost resistance was found to be satisfactory for all mixtures except material with fine natural pozzolana and with fly ash.
Post-Code PTSD Symptoms in Internal Medicine Residents Who Participate in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Events: A Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Kolehmainen Christine , Stahr Anne , Kaatz Anna , Brennan Meghan , Vogelman Bennett , Cook Jessica , Carnes Molly
Published: July 2015

Background

Internal medicine (IM) residents participate in cardiopulmonary resuscitation events (or “codes”), stressful events that involve the death or near death of patients. Experiencing traumatic stress can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Objective

We examined whether IM residents who participate in codes developed PTSD symptoms.

Methods

We conducted this research as a 2-phase, mixed methods study. In the first phase, we analyzed interview transcripts from 25 IM residents at 9 institutions for content relevant to PTSD. In the second phase, we surveyed 82 IM residents at 1 midwestern institution for symptoms reported post-code that are associated with PTSD (post-code PTSD symptoms).

Results

A total of 7 of 25 residents (28%) interviewed characterized codes as traumatic or described experiencing PTSD symptoms, including intrusive thoughts about the code, avoidance and emotional numbing, and hyperarousal, irritability, or hypervigilance. Of the 82 residents, 51 (62%) responded to the questionnaire. Of the 42 respondents who had participated in a code, 6 (14%) reported at least 1 PTSD symptom, and 3 (7%) women screened positive for potential PTSD with 2 or more PTSD symptoms. Endorsing any PTSD symptom was associated with residents' perception that code participation negatively affected their work performance.

Conclusions

Our study found that some IM residents reported symptoms of PTSD after being involved in a code.
Primary Care Residents' Knowledge, Attitudes, Self-Efficacy, and Perceived Professional Norms Regarding Obesity, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Counseling
Authors: Smith Samantha , Seeholzer Eileen L. , Gullett Heidi , Jackson Brigid , Antognoli Elizabeth , Krejci Susan A. , Flocke Susan A.
Published: July 2015

Background

Obesity and being overweight are both significant risk factors for multiple chronic conditions. Primary care physicians are in a position to provide health behavior counseling to the majority of US adults, yet most report insufficient training to deliver effective counseling for obesity.

Objective

To assess the degree to which residents training in adult primary care programs are prepared to provide obesity, nutrition, and physical activity (ONPA) counseling.

Methods

Senior residents (postgraduate year [PGY]-3 and PGY-4) from 25 Ohio family medicine, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology programs were surveyed regarding their knowledge about obesity risks and effective counseling, as well as their attitudes, self-efficacy, and perceived professional norms toward ONPA counseling. We examined summary scores, and used regression analyses to assess associations with resident demographics and training program characteristics.

Results

A total of 219 residents participated (62% response rate). Mean ONPA counseling knowledge score was 50.8 (± 15.6) on a 0 to 100 scale. Specialty was associated with counseling self-efficacy (P < .001) and perceived norms (P = .002). Residents who reported having engaged in an elective rotation emphasizing ONPA counseling had significantly higher self-efficacy and more positive attitudes and professional norms scores.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that primary care residents' knowledge of ONPA assessment and management strategies has room for improvement. Attitudes, self-efficacy, and perceived norms also are low and vary by training program characteristics. A deeper understanding of curricula associated with improved performance in these domains could inform interventions to enhance residents' ONPA counseling skills and prevent chronic disease.

Authors: Luque Diego Jesús , Elósegui Eduardo , Casquero Dolores
Published: July 2015

En los niños y niñas con Capacidad Intelectual Límite (CIL), el análisis de sus funciones cognitivas a través de escalas de inteligencia es siempre complejo, más aún cuando pueden aportar aspectos explicativos de sus dificultades de aprendizaje. La Escala de Wechsler, a través de las funciones y pruebas que se agrupan en la Memoria de Trabajo (MT) y en la Velocidad de Procesamiento (VP), proporciona información relevante sobre la estructura y funcionamiento cognitivo, con respecto a una posible disfunción psiconeurológica, en la base explicativa de las dificultades específicas de aprendizaje. En este trabajo se estudia el perfil del WISC-IV de 39 alumnos y alumnas con CIL, en particular, los índices de MT y de VP, en su asociación con las dificultades de aprendizaje que presentan. Se concluye que esos índices son una importante base explicativa de sus dificultades, a la vez que una referencia para los aspectos relacionados con su intervención psicopedagógica.
Propiedades psicométricas de la versión para padres del Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
Authors: Brown Paulina , Capella Claudia , Antivilo Andrés
Published: July 2015

En el presente estudio se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas de la versión para padres del Strenghts and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) en una muestra de 798 figuras parentales de niños y niñas de 4 a 11 años, de la Región Metropolitana de Chile. El SDQ (Goodman, 1994) es un cuestionario compuesto por 25 ítems que evalúa dificultades emocionales y conductuales en niños y adolescentes. Los resultados muestran adecuados niveles de fiabilidad para la escala total, aunque un nivel insatisfactorio para las subescalas. En relación a las evidencias de validez de estructura, ninguna de las soluciones contrastadas responde satisfactoriamente al modelo formulado originalmente por Goodman ni a las propuestas posteriores. Adicionalmente se exploraron diferencias en función de las variables de estratificación, observándose que varones en edad escolar, matriculados en establecimientos municipales y que reciben atención por un profesional de la salud mental, presentan mayores dificultades psicológicas.
Modelado de la intención emprendedora con redes bayesianas
Authors: López Jorge , Ruiz-Ruano Ana María
Published: July 2015

El emprendimiento es considerado hoy en día como un elemento clave en las sociedades postindustriales. Desde un punto de vista psicológico, el emprendimiento puede ser entendido como un proceso actitudinal condicionado por la intención emprendedora. En este trabajo se construyeron, testearon y utilizaron tres modelos de red bayesiana destinados a clarificar las relaciones  establecidas entre variables tradicionalmente asociadas al emprendimiento y la intención emprendedora. Una muestra de 254 estudiantes universitarios (73 hombres y 179 mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 50 años (M = 22.47, DT = 4.11), rellenó una encuesta destinada a registrar parámetros asociados con la actitud y la intención emprendedora. Con sus respuestas se construyeron tres modelos de red bayesiana que fueron validados y utilizados para realizar predicciones sobre las variables implicadas en el análisis. Los resultados muestran que la deseabilidad percibida, la viabilidad percibida, el locus de control y la influencia familiar son las variables que más influencian la intención emprendedora en emprendedores potenciales. La influencia de estas variables sobre la intención emprendedora fue analizada considerando diferentes escenarios y las relaciones detectadas fueron discutidas con relación a planteamientos teórico-prácticos en el contexto de la potenciación de actitudes emprendedoras.
Emancipación o barbarie en la música. Los orígenes de la Teoría Crítica de Th. W. Adorno en sus escritos musicales tempranos
Authors: Maiso Blasco Jordi
Published: July 2015

Los escritos musicales tempranos de Adorno ofrecen una perspectiva fundamental para comprender su fisiognomía intelectual y su contribución al proyecto de la Teoría Crítica. Se trata de escritos marcados por la militancia en la vanguardia musical en torno a Arnold Schönberg, en los que cobran voz las experiencias que marcan el paso de Adorno de la estética musical a la teoría crítica de la sociedad. En ellos pueden leerse las tensiones de un momento histórico en el que se iba a decidir el rumbo de la sociedad y, con él, el destino de las vanguardias y el lugar social del arte.

Método: Realizamos una encuesta con 20 preguntas basada en los cuestionarios para valoración de conocimientos en RCP de la American Heart Association (AHA) y de la Sociedad Española de Medicina y Cuidados Intensivos (SEMICYUC).
Resultados: Obtuvimos como resultado que la totalidad de los encuestados no sigue los estándares internacionales de realización de cursos de actualización de conocimientos. El 64,7 % se actualizó después del 2010 y 10,1% nunca se actualizó. El 30% de los médicos, el 90% de los residentes y el 7% de los enfermeros, no superaban el umbral mínimo de formación establecido por la AHA en servicios de urgencias hospitalarias (un curso cada dos años). Se corrobora que a mayor realización de cursos mejor nivel de conocimientos.
Conclusiones: Resulta evidente la necesidad de cambios en la metodología de aprendizaje de los cursos impartidos en materia de RCP para profesionales. Destacamos que el personal sanitario sí esta concienciado de la necesidad de formación en esta materia.

Published: July 2015

Introducción: La actividad sexual en edad precoz se relaciona con conductas de riesgo que pueden dar lugar a embarazos no deseados (END) o infecciones de trasmisión sexual (ITS). Los centros de enseñanza son los espacios idóneos para realizar actividades educativas en materia de sexualidad. Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivos: averiguar los conocimientos sobre sexualidad, anticoncepción e ITS de los alumnos de 2º,3º y 4º de la ESO, generar conocimientos y actitudes adecuadas en torno a la sexualidad y valorar los resultados de nuestra intervención educativa.
Material y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal que cuenta con la participación de 686 alumnos con edades comprendidas entre los 13 y 16 años pertenecientes a centros educativos de A Costa da Morte. Realizamos sesiones educativas sobre sexualidad, anticoncepción e ITS con exposiciones teórico-prácticas. Elaboramos dos tipos de cuestionarios: uno de conocimientos, pre y post-intervención, y otro de satisfacción.
Resultados: Los adolescentes conocen la mayoría de los métodos anticonceptivos, aunque la información que manejan es dispar. Existe un déficit de conocimientos respecto a las ITS importante; los jóvenes no conocen sus signos/síntomas, las medidas de prevención, los mecanismos de transmisión, ni las actitudes a seguir con la población portadora.
Conclusión: La enfermería tiene un papel clave como impulsora de actitudes positivas en la salud sexual de los jóvenes. Es fundamental, para favorecer la adquisición de conocimientos en torno a la sexualidad, transformar a los adolescentes en los protagonistas de su historia a través de intervenciones innovadoras y participativas.
Evolución de la producción científica de historia de la enfermería en España entre1966 y 2013
Authors: Mínguez Moreno Inmaculada , Siles González José
Published: July 2015

Objetivos: Conocer la evolución y visibilidad internacional de la producción científica de historia de la enfermería en España en la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. Conocer cuáles son las Universidades españolas que más producción científica tienen sobre la historia de la enfermería española durante el periodo de estudio. Comparar la producción científica sobre historia de la enfermería en países anglosajones y España.
Método: Se realizó un estudio de corte cualitativo a través de una revisión integrativa. Se utilizó como recurso secundario: Sciverse Scopus. Base de datos que incluye otras bases. Se incluyeron aquellos documentos que versaran sobre historia de la enfermería.
Resultados: La producción científica de historia de la enfermería en España no se muestra como uno de los campos de mayor interés para la investigación (10,80%). La Universidad de Alicante se muestra como la Universidad Española con más producción en historia de la enfermería. Existe una clara diferencia en la producción científica sobre historia de la enfermería entre países anglosajones y España.
Conclusiones: España es el decimo país en producción científica de historia de la enfermería de un total de ciento cuatro incluidos en la base de datos. La producción científica española sobre historia de la enfermería sigue siendo modesta, comparada con los países anglosajones Existen sesgo sobre el estudio de la historia de la enfermería en una base de datos internacionales como es Sciverse Scopus. La no inclusión de revistas como Hiades (de dedicación exclusiva al estudio de la historia de enfermería) o la indexación parcial de bases de datos como Index (incluida sólo desde el año 2007) puede ser la causa

Objetivo: Sintetizar la producción de conocimiento relacionado al uso de Prácticas Integradas y Complementarias (PIC) en el tratamiento del estrés laboral.
Método: Revisión integradora, que tuvo como pregunta guía: ¿cuál es la producción del conocimento de las PIC relacionada al tratamiento del estrés laboral en el período de 2003 a 2013?. Para recolectar los datos se utilizaron las bases de datos Lilacs y Medline, utilizando la combinación de los descriptores "estrés" con "terapias complementarias", "medicamentos florales", "terapias mente-cuerpo", "terapias sensoriales a través de las artes", "terapia espiritual" y "terapias en estudio."
Resultados: Se seleccionaron 48 artículos. Posteriormente se realizó por etapas la selección por los títulos de los artículos, evaluación de los resúmenes y el análisis y lectura de los textos completos. Del total, 07 artículos fueron analizados y construídas las categorías: Las PIC como tratamientos para reducir el estrés y otras enfermedades; El uso de las PIC en el tratamiento del estrés y La credibilidad en el uso de las PIC.

Conclusiones: Las PIC vienen siendo utilizadas no sólo para reducir el estrés, sino también en la reducción de los niveles de ansiedad, síntomas depresivos, alivio del dolor y en la compulsión alimentaria. Las principales PIC mencionado fueron: MSBR, CBRS, Kouk Sun Do, la acupuntura, la meditación, respiración controlada, el yoga y la terapia de polaridad. Citadas como las principales razones de su uso: el alcance del bienestar espiritual, serenidad, mejor estado de ánimo, la compasión por los demás y para mejorar el sueño.
Lateral Ankle Stabilization Using Acellular Human Dermal Allograft Augmentation
Authors: Parks Robert M. , Parks Stephanie M.
Published: July 2015

Background

We describe a retrospective study that uses the Broström-type surgical procedure with modifications that augment deficient and torn ligaments with acellular human dermal grafts. At the onset of this study, the most prevalent dermal graft available to us was GraftJacket (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, Tennessee). Greater than 50% of the study participants were grafted with this product, but more recently other equally effective human dermal grafts have been used with no apparent difference.

Methods

Thirty-five lateral ankle stabilization procedures were performed in the past 6 years on 33 patients. Eight patients were considered athletes (mean age, 23 years). The balance of the study group consisted of sedentary patients (mean age, 41 years). The mean patient body mass index (calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) was 31.

Results

All of the patients were satisfied with their results, with no recurrent instability. Two patients in this group went on to have contralateral ankle stabilization in a similar manner owing to their satisfaction. Complications included two soft-tissue infections.

Conclusions

Lateral ankle stabilization using acellular human dermal graft augmentation is a useful tool in the surgical treatment of ankle instability. This procedure offers distinct advantages over traditional methods of ankle repair and can be performed with relatively limited surgical exposure. Ease of operation, consistent results, and limited patient morbidity should allow surgeons to use this procedure independently or adjunctively to improve surgical outcomes.
Diabetes Management and Its Association with Transtibial Amputation
Authors: Yan Kun , Pogoda Terri K.
Published: July 2015

Background

Transtibial (TTA) and transfemoral (TFA) amputations are rarely considered as distinct events when examining major lower-limb amputation outcomes. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships among type 2 diabetes, diabetes management strategies, hemoglobin A1c levels, and other health factors related to TTA and TFA.

Methods

The retrospective medical record review included abstracting demographic and health-related data from the electronic medical records of 92 patients who received amputation-related services in a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.

Results

Patients who controlled their diabetes with insulin (with or without other oral agents) were significantly more likely to undergo TTA (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 7.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17–49.97; P = .03) compared with patients who controlled their diabetes through noninsulin medications or by diet. Patients who underwent no previous surgery (aOR = 6.66; 95% CI, 0.89-49.72; P = .06) or partial amputation only (aOR = 15.44; 95% CI, 1.04–228.29; P = .05) compared with a combination of partial amputation and bypass, thrombolectomy, or stent procedures were marginally to statistically significantly more likely to undergo TTA than TFA.

Conclusions

The preferential association between TTA with insulin-dependent diabetes and higher hemoglobin A1c levels versus TFA with previous lower-limb bypasses, stent placement, and thrombolytic interventions distinguishes TTA and TFA as two distinct entities, and awareness of this difference may help clinicians design preventive strategies accordingly.
Linezolid-Associated Serotonin Syndrome
Authors: Frykberg Robert G. , Gordon Scott , Tierney Edward , Banks Jaminelli
Published: July 2015

Linezolid, a mild monoamine oxidase inhibitor, is a commonly used antibiotic drug for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections, including diabetic foot infections. Use of linezolid has been associated with serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition typically caused by the combination of two or more medications with serotonergic properties, due to increased serotonin release. The goals of this article are to highlight the risk factors associated with the development of serotonin syndrome related to the use of linezolid and to aid in its prevention and early diagnosis. In this case series we report on two hospitalized patients who, while being treated with linezolid for pedal infections, developed serotonin syndrome. Both individuals were also undergoing treatment with at least one serotonergic agent for depression and had received this medication within 2 weeks of starting the antibiotic drug therapy. In these individuals, we noted agitation, confusion, tremors, and tachycardia within a few days of initiation of linezolid therapy. Owing to the risk of serotonin toxicity, care should be taken when prescribing linezolid in conjunction with any other serotonergic agent. Although serotonin syndrome is an infrequent complication, it can be potentially life threatening. Therefore, risks and benefits of therapy should be weighed before use.

We take a functional genomics approach to congenital heart disease mechanism. We used DamID to establish a robust set of target genes for NKX2-5 wild type and disease associated NKX2-5 mutations to model loss-of-function in gene regulatory networks. NKX2-5 mutants, including those with a crippled homeodomain, bound hundreds of targets including NKX2-5 wild type targets and a unique set of "off-targets", and retained partial functionality. NKXΔHD, which lacks the homeodomain completely, could heterodimerize with NKX2-5 wild type and its cofactors, including E26 transformation-specific (ETS) family members, through a tyrosine-rich homophilic interaction domain (YRD). Off-targets of NKX2-5 mutants, but not those of an NKX2-5 YRD mutant, showed overrepresentation of ETS binding sites and were occupied by ETS proteins, as determined by DamID. Analysis of kernel transcription factor and ETS targets show that ETS proteins are highly embedded within the cardiac gene regulatory network. Our study reveals binding and activities of NKX2-5 mutations on WT target and off-targets, guided by interactions with their normal cardiac and general cofactors, and suggest a novel type of gain-of-function in congenital heart disease.
