Authors: Kim Suk Jae , Ryoo Sookyung , Bang Oh Young , Chung Chin-Sang , Lee Kwang Ho , Kim Gyeong-Moon
Published: February 2010

Background: Perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) is rarely used to evaluate cases of posterior circulation infarctions. We evaluated clinical outcomes, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) patterns and angiographic findings in patients experiencing medullary infarctions according to PWI results. Methods: Data from consecutive patients with acute ischemic lesions primarily involving the medulla were analyzed. All patients underwent MRI including DWI, PWI and MR angiography. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of a perfusion delay in the medulla and/or inferior cerebellum. Results: Among 35 patients, all but 1 had a PWI of interpretable quality. Of these 34 patients, 18 had a normal perfusion status, while 16 had perfusion defects in the medulla and/or inferior cerebellum. The abnormal PWI group had poor clinical outcomes at 7 days and 1 month after the onset of symptoms. There was no difference in DWI patterns between these 2 groups. The angiographic findings demonstrated that a stenosis of ≧50% or an occlusion of the ipsilesional vertebral artery was frequently observed in the abnormal PWI group (p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that abnormal PWI and DWI patterns were independently associated with poor early and late outcomes following medullary infarctions. Conclusions: PWI may be a feasible modality for assessing the perfusion status of the posterior circulation and predicting clinical outcomes following medullary infarctions.

Published: February 2010

Background: In large territorial stroke of the anterior and the posterior circulation, the extent of affected tissue can be characterized by the demonstration of vessel occlusion on MR angiography (MRA), while the extent of hypoperfusion can be shown on dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion-weighted MRI (PWI). The ability of MRA and conventional MRI sequences to demonstrate branches of the basilar artery (BA) is very limited. This study analyzes the value of the combined use of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), MRA and PWI in acute pontine stroke. Methods: A series of 24 consecutive patients with acute pontine stroke received an extensive MRI stroke workup including DWI, PWI and MRA. Results: In 11/24 patients visual analysis of PWI demonstrated persisting hypoperfusion, and in 1/24 patients indication of hyperperfusion was found. Vessel abnormalities were seen in 19/24 patients (15/24 hypoplastic vertebral artery, 9/24 stenosis or occlusion of the BA, 1/20 ectatic BA). Persistent pontine hypoperfusion was more frequently associated with BA pathology (9/11 vs. 1/13, p = 0.001), large-vessel disease (8/11 vs. 1/13; p = 0.001) and a more pronounced clinical deficit (NIHSS score on day 1: 7 vs. 3, p = 0.01). Conclusions: In pontine ischemia areas of hypoperfusion can be identified due to the strong contrast induced by ischemia on PWI and can be easily related to DWI lesion size. This is of use particularly as small vessels are frequently missed by MRA and occlusion of the BA can be better characterized with the help of PWI.

Published: February 2010

Elderly patients are increasingly enrolled in dialysis programs and present a series of special characteristics due to their high morbidity and mortality. Objective:To describe the characteristics of incident dialysis patients aged >75 years, their comorbidities and their admissions, with a view to determining the factors that influence their course and mortality. Patients and Methods: The study included all patients aged >75 years who started dialysis in our center since January 2000. The mean duration of follow-up was 3.3 ± 2.2 years. Data were collected on incident comorbidity, admissions and their causes. A total of 139 patients were included, with a mean age of 78.6 ± 2.6 years (67.6% males, 33.8% diabetic and 7.9% on peritoneal dialysis). Three groups were established according to age: 75–79, 80–85 and >85 years. The most frequent comorbidities were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (25.9%), ischemic heart disease (25.2%), heart failure (25.9%), neoplasms (23.7%), peripheral vascular disease (23.7%), cerebrovascular disease (18.7%) and arterial hypertension (81%). The Charlson index was calculated, not adjusted for age, and comorbidity tertiles were established. Results: During follow-up, the patients presented 0.82 ± 0.99 admissions/patient/year, with a duration of 12.1 ± 20.6 days/patient/year. The main causes of admission were infection (33%), vascular access problems (27%) and peripheral vascular events (14%). A total of 61 patients died (44%), and 4 underwent kidney transplantation (2.9%). The mean duration of follow-up of the transplanted patients was 3.6 ± 1.8 years. The main causes of death were infection (32%), cardiovascular problems (28.3%) and neoplastic disease (11.3%). The global survival rate was 90, 82 and 53% after 1, 2 and 5 years, respectively. No significant differences in survival or annual admission rate were found in relation to age group and dialysis technique. In contrast, the annual admission rate and days of admission were directly correlated to the Charlson index (p = 0.009 and p = 0.032, respectively). No significant differences in the Charlson index were found between the patients on hemodialysis and those subjected to peritoneal dialysis. In the univariate model, the factors associated to mortality were diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure and the Charlson index. In the multivariate model, only the Charlson index remained as an independent predictive factor (p = 0.006). Conclusions: Unlike the general population, age does not influence mortality or admissions in elderly patients on dialysis. Incident comorbidity is the factor exerting the greatest influence upon mortality and admissions. Advanced age in itself should not be regarded as an excluding factor for starting dialysis.
A Comparison of Nonoliguric and Oliguric Severe Acute Kidney Injury according to the Risk Injury Failure Loss End-Stage (RIFLE) Criteria
Authors: Morgan David J.R. , Ho Kwok M.
Published: February 2010

Background: Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, and End-Stage (RIFLE) criteria have been proposed as a standard definition of acute kidney injury (AKI). The most severe form of AKI, class F AKI, can be defined by either severe oliguria or a 3-fold increase in serum creatinine concentrations. We hypothesized that the outcomes of patients with these 2 alternative criteria of severe AKI were different. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted of all patients attaining RIFLE class F AKI during a 12-month period in a tertiary critical care facility. Results: Among a total of 2,379 critical care admissions, 129 (5.4%) fulfilled the serum creatinine criteria without oliguria (RIFLE class F) and 99 (4.2%) fulfilled oliguric (RIFLE class F) AKI criteria. Patients with oliguric AKI suffered a more severe disease process than nonoliguric AKI. Oliguric AKI was associated with a significantly higher risk of requiring acute dialysis (70.7 vs. 22.4%, p = 0.001), long-term dialysis >90 days (15 vs. 1.9%, p = 0.006), and hospital mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 3.33, 95% confidence interval, p = 0.001) than nonoliguric AKI. Conclusions: Oliguric RIFLE class F AKI is a more severe form of AKI than nonoliguric class F AKI. These 2 forms of AKI should be considered separately when AKI is evaluated in a clinical trial.
French Women, Italian Art, and Other “Advocates of the Body” in Harriet Beecher Stowe's The Minister's Wooing
Authors: Baker Dorothy Z.
Published: February 2010

Displays of sanctified eroticism in The Minister's Wooing reveal Harriet Beecher Stowe's conviction that the body is inherently holy. The author's experience of religious paintings and her observation of French women in Europe deepened her belief that the female body is an instrument of spirituality, as can be traced in the novel.
The ClpP protease homologue is required for the transmission traits and cell division of the pathogen Legionella pneumophila
Authors: Li Xiang-hui , Zeng Yong-lun , Gao Ye , Zheng Xiao-cong , Zhang Qin-fen , Zhou Shi-ning , Lu Yong-jun
Published: February 2010

Background

Legionella pneumophila, the intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes Legionnaires' disease, exhibit characteristic transmission traits such as elevated stress tolerance, shortened length and virulence during the transition from the replication phase to the transmission phase. ClpP, the catalytic core of the Clp proteolytic complex, is widely involved in many cellular processes via the regulation of intracellular protein quality.

Results

In this study, we showed that ClpP was required for optimal growth ofL. pneumophilaat high temperatures and under several other stress conditions. We also observed that cells devoid ofclpPexhibited cell elongation, incomplete cell division and compromised colony formation. Furthermore, we found that theclpP-deleted mutant was more resistant to sodium stress and failed to proliferate in the amoebae hostAcanthamoeba castellanii.

Conclusions

The data present in this study illustrate that the ClpP protease homologue plays an important role in the expression of transmission traits and cell division ofL. pneumophila, and further suggest a putative role of ClpP in virulence regulation.
Severe odynophagia in a patient developing after azithromycin intake: a case report

Published: February 2010

Introduction

Drug-induced esophageal ulcers most commonly cause heartburn, midsternal pain and dysphagia. In our clinic azithromycin is a relative widely used antibiotic for respiratory tract infections and otitis media because of its activity against Haemophilus influenzae and atypical pathogens, and its ease of administration. After a thorough search in Pubmed the present case is the first one to report azithromycin-induced esophageal ulcer and associated symptoms in the literature.

Case presentation

A 61-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to our endoscopy unit for the investigation of odynophagia and retrosternal pain of new onset. His past medical history was unremarkable but had used azithromycin 500 mg/d for three days in the previous week. An upper endoscopy revealed an extensive serpiginous midesophageal ulcer in the presence of a normal squamocolumnar junction and biopsies from the edges and center of the lesion disclosed no neoplasia or infectious causes but a dense acute inflammatory infiltrate. The patient was put on a liquid diet, sucralfate proton pump inhibitor treatment and was symptom-free within two weeks. After four weeks on therapy a repeated upper endoscopic control examination demonstrated normal findings.

Conclusion

To our knowledge this is the first such a case of azithromycin -induced esophageal ulceration. We think that a little time taken by the physician to warn the patients for taking every oral drug with sufficient amount of water might prevent this kind of complications.
Jean-Baptiste Labat and the Buccaneer Barbecue in Seventeenth-Century Martinique
Authors: toczyski suzanne
Published: February 2010

If, as the sociologist Pierre L. van den Berghe has suggested, cuisine is a significant expression of man's sociability, one might say that the seventeenth-century missionary Jean-Baptiste Labat was the single most social animal in the Caribbean islands in the 1690s. Although his primary responsibility on the island of Martinique was to serve the island's multiethnic population as a spiritual leader, le pèère Labat's memoirs chronicle the diverse culinary experiences of the missionary as he literally eats his way around the island, learning to prepare such delicacies as cocoa confit, roasted manatee, lizard en brochette, and parakeet en daube. Positing his unbridled interest in the culinary arts as a mark of his ““obedience”” to the duties assigned him as missionary, Labat's taxonomy of island delicacies and exotic tastes no doubt titillated the curiosity of his mainland readers while nevertheless grounding itself strongly in the values of order, authenticity, and industry so essential to Labat's apostolic mission. This article focuses on two ““buccaneer barbecues”” as examples of gastronomical experiences through which Labat was able to construct and negotiate new social, cultural, and symbolic meanings, exploring identity politics through the frame of the culinary arts in seventeenth-century Martinique.

Objectives. We present a social marketing conceptual framework for Experience Corps Baltimore City (EC) in which the desired health outcome is not the promoted product or behavior. We also demonstrate the feasibility of a social marketing–based recruitment campaign for the first year of the Baltimore Experience Corps Trial (BECT), a randomized, controlled trial of the health benefits of EC participation for older adults.

Methods. We recruited older adults from the Baltimore, MD, area. Participants randomized to the intervention were placed in public schools in volunteer roles designed to increase healthy behaviors. We examined the effectiveness of a recruitment message that appealed to generativity (i.e., to make a difference for the next generation), rather than potential health benefits.

Results. Among the 155 participants recruited in the first year of the BECT, the average age was 69 years; 87% were women and 85% were African American. Participants reported primarily generative motives as their reason for interest in the BECT.

Conclusions. Public health interventions embedded in civic engagement have the potential to engage older adults who might not respond to a direct appeal to improve their health.
Negative Freedom and Death in the United States
Authors: Ackerson Leland K. , Subramanian S. V.
Published: February 2010

Personal freedoms have been characterized as “positive” (freedom to pursue opportunities) and “negative” (freedom from external constraints on decision making). An ecological analysis of US data revealed a strong positive association (r = 0.41; P = .003) between state-level negative personal freedom (defined in terms of regulation of personal behavior) and state-level age-adjusted rates of unintentional injury. A conceptual emphasis on positive freedom construed as freedom to pursue a life without risk of unintentional injury could help motivate a conversation to improve public health.
Writing, Editing and Publishing an Article in a Scientific Journal
Authors: Khattri Man Bahadur
Published: February 2010

The purpose of this article is to discuss some important aspects involved while writing an article to publish in a scientific journal. This is a review article. I argue that writing an article is technical as well as creative art of an author which facilitates acceptance of article for publication in a scientific journal. Academicians are obliged to conduct research and publish articles to demonstrate their job efficiency. To publish an article in a scientific journal is the first necessary condition to meet standard norms i.e. journal's guideline for authors and the next is to follow the editing processes of the journal. Writing an article for printed version is becoming an old fashion. Therefore, authors need to learn how to submit a scholarly written article online and follow review processes. Writing and publishing of a scientific article is not only important for individuals and specific scientific community, it is also important to the wider society which helps to enhance stock of knowledge, and sharing and learning culture.

Spinal anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A feasibility and safety study
Authors: Gautam B
Published: February 2010

Background: Regional anaesthetic techniques have benefited those patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries that are deemed high risk to receive general anaesthesia (GA). But spinal anaesthesia (SA) has not been routinely employed as the sole technique for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Objective: This study was conducted to uncover feasibility and safety of SA for conducting LC. Materials and methods: Twelve American Society of Anaesthesiologists' physical status I or II patients undergoing elective LC received SA using 4 ml of 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine mixed with 0.15 mg Morphine. Peri-operative preparations and management were all standardised, with other drugs being only administered to manage anxiety, pain, nausea/vomiting, hypotension, and any adverse event. LC was performed with CO2 pneumoperitoneum maintained at an intra-abdominal pressure of less than 10 mm Hg and with minimal operating table tilt. Peri-operative events, operative difficulty, hospital stay and patient satisfaction were studied. Results: Spinal anaesthesia was adequate for surgery in all but one patient. Intraoperatively, two out of four patients who experienced right shoulder pain received Fentanyl. Two patients were given Midazolam for anxiety and one was given Ephedrine for hypotension. Operative difficulty scores were minimal and surgery in one patient was converted to open cholecystectomy. Postoperatively, pain scores were minimal and no patient demanded opioid. One patient required antiemetic for vomiting and one patient each suffered headache and urinary retention. 11 patients were discharged within 48 hours of surgery and patient satisfaction scores were very good. Conclusion: Spinal anaesthesia with Morphine-mixed hyperbaric Bupivacaine is adequate and safe for elective LC in otherwise healthy patients and minimises postoperative pain and opioid use. Success and safety of this technique, however, necessitates knowledgeable patient, gentle surgical procedure, and co-operation among patient and members of the perioperative care team. Key words: Hyperbaric Bupivacaine; intrathecal Morphine; laparoscopic cholecystectomy; spinal anaesthesia.

Gamma Knife irradiation–induced histopathological changes in the trigeminal nerves of rhesus monkeys
Authors: Zhao Zhe-Feng , Yang Li-Zhuang , Jiang Chuan-Lu , Zheng Yong-Ri , Zhang Jin-Wei
Published: February 2010

Object

The authors' goal was to observe histopathological changes in the trigeminal nerve after Gamma Knife surgery (GKS) in rhesus monkeys, and to investigate the radiobiological mechanism of GKS for primary trigeminal neuralgia. The nerve length–dosage effect of irradiation is also discussed.

Methods

One of 5 rhesus monkeys randomly served as a control, and the other 4 monkeys were randomly administered a target radiation dose of 60, 70, 80, or 100 Gy (a different dose in each animal). The size of the collimator was 4 mm, and the target point was the trigeminal nerve root. In each experimental monkey, one side was exposed to single-target-point irradiation, and the contralateral side was exposed to double-target-point irradiation. After 6 months, the trigeminal nerve root was examined using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and immunohistochemistry.

Results

At each radiation dose, the damage to the nerve tissue by single-target-point irradiation was identical to that caused by double-target-point irradiation. In the trigeminal nerve tissues of the monkeys irradiated with 60 and 70 Gy, there was limited nerve demyelination and degeneration, fragmentation, or loss of axons. In the trigeminal nerve tissue of the monkey irradiated with 80 Gy, the nerve tissue showed a disordered structure. In the trigeminal nerve tissue of the monkey irradiated with 100 Gy, there was severe derangement in the structure of the nerve tissue, and extensive demyelination, fragmentation, and loss of axons.

Conclusions

The target doses of 60 and 70 Gy have very little impact on the structure of the trigeminal nerve. Irradiation at 80 Gy can cause partial degeneration and loss of axons and demyelination. A 100-Gy dose can cause some necrosis of neurons. Comparing the single-target-point with the double-target-point irradiation, the extent of damage to the nerve tissue is identical, and no difference in the nerve length–dosage effect was found.
Cause-specific mortality among neurosurgeons
Authors: Lollis S. Scott , Valdes Pablo A. , Li Zhongze , Ball Perry A. , Roberts David W.
Published: February 2010

Object

The authors sought to determine a cause-specific mortality profile for US neurosurgeons during the period 1979–2005.

Methods

Neurosurgeons who died during the study period were identified from the Physician Master File database. Using the National Death Index, the reported cause of death was identified for 93.7% of decedents. Standardized mortality ratios were used to compare mortality risk in the study cohort to that of the US population.

Results

There was a marked reduction in mortality from virtually all causes in comparison with the control population. This finding is consistent with prior studies of mortality in physicians. The small number of deaths among female neurosurgeons precluded meaningful analysis for this group. Increased mortality risk for male neurosurgeons was seen from leukemia, nervous system disease (particularly Alzheimer disease), and aircraft accidents. Deaths from viral hepatitis and HIV infection, considered to be occupational hazards for surgeons, were less frequent than in the general population. Suicide, drug-related deaths, and alcohol-related deaths were less frequent than in the general population.

Conclusions

Neurosurgeons may be at higher risk for death from leukemia, aircraft accidents, and diseases of the nervous system, particularly Alzheimer disease; however, the mortality profile of neurosurgeons is favorable when compared with the general population.
Arylethyne Bromoboration–Negishi Coupling Route to E‐ or Z‐Aryl‐Substituted Trisubstituted Alkenes of ≥98% Isomeric Purity. New Horizon in the Highly Selective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Alkenes
Authors: Wang Chao , Xu Zhaoqing , Tobrman Tomas , Negishi Ei‐ichi
Published: February 2010

The hitherto unprecedented palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of (Z)‐β‐bromo‐β‐arylethenylboranes can be made to proceed satisfactorily through (1) the use of highly catalytically active bis(tri‐tert‐butylphosphine)palladium or dichloro[N,N‐bis‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)imidazol‐2‐yl](m‐chloropyridine)palladium and (2) conversion of the dibromoboryl group to the (pinacol)boryl group. Thus, a wide variety of carbon groups can be used to substitute bromine in ≥98% stereo‐ and regioselectivity, while suppressing the otherwise dominant β‐debromoboration. Together with the alkylethyne‐based protocols, the alkyne bromoboration–Negishi coupling tandem process has emerged as the most widely applicable and highly selective route to trisubstituted alkenes including those that are otherwise difficult to access.
iRANK: A rank‐learn‐combine framework for unsupervised ensemble ranking
Authors: Wei Furu , Li Wenjie , Liu Shixia
Published: February 2010

The authors address the problem of unsupervised ensemble ranking. Traditional approaches either combine multiple ranking criteria into a unified representation to obtain an overall ranking score or to utilize certain rank fusion or aggregation techniques to combine the ranking results. Beyond the aforementioned “combine‐then‐rank” and “rank‐then‐combine” approaches, the authors propose a novel “rank‐learn‐combine” ranking framework, called Interactive Ranking (iRANK), which allows two base rankers to “teach” each other before combination during the ranking process by providing their own ranking results as feedback to the others to boost the ranking performance. This mutual ranking refinement process continues until the two base rankers cannot learn from each other any more. The overall performance is improved by the enhancement of the base rankers through the mutual learning mechanism. The authors further design two ranking refinement strategies to efficiently and effectively use the feedback based on reasonable assumptions and rational analysis. Although iRANK is applicable to many applications, as a case study, they apply this framework to the sentence ranking problem in query‐focused summarization and evaluate its effectiveness on the DUC 2005 and 2006 data sets. The results are encouraging with consistent and promising improvements.
Electrochemical Deallylation of α‐Allyl Cyclic Amines and Synthesis of Optically Active Quaternary Cyclic Amino Acids
Authors: Kirira Peter G. , Kuriyama Masami , Onomura Osamu
Published: February 2010

Electrochemical oxidation of α‐allylated and α‐benzylated N‐acylated cyclic amines by using a graphite anode easily affords the corresponding α‐methoxylated products with up to 76 % yield. Ease of oxidation was affected by the type of electrode, the size of cyclic amine, and the nature of the protecting group. This method was successfully applied to the synthesis of optically active N‐acylated α‐alkyl‐α‐amino acid esters with up to 99 % ee.
