Published: December 2019

The Structured Assessment of PROtective Factors for Violence Risk (SAPROF) is an assessment tool that examines protective factors when assessing for violence risk. There is limited research on clinicians’ perceptions of the use and implementation of risk assessment tools, and this study aimed to examine the experiences of clinicians using the SAPROF in a low secure forensic rehabilitation inpatient unit in Canada. An exploratory research design was used, and five clinicians participated in semi-structured interviews. Data was analyzed using a thematic approach and three central themes were identified: understanding of the patient from a strengths-based point of view, providing clinicians with a focus on how to help the patient, and bringing in opportunities to collaborate as a team. The findings highlight the additional value of the SAPROF as tool in helping forensic teams to adopt strengths based approaches to risk assessment, enhancing treatment planning and inter-professional collaboration.

Khristian Khristianovich Steven is a founder and first director of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, a general inspector of sericulture and agriculture of South Russia (1826–1851). He was a known researcher of nature of XIX century, botanist, entomologist and horticulturist. On constant inspector tours he investigated the experience of sericulture, viticulture and horticulture, gathered collections of insects, herbariums. In 1808 he created a silk-mill near Bendery. In 1820–1821 Steven visited leading scientific and horticultural centres of Europe: he has been to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Greece, Italy and Turkey. He took large collections of insects and plants out there. One collection of insects was destined for Moscow University, and another thing was by Ministry of State Property for agricultural school. The scientific heritage of Khristian Khristianovich Steven in the sphere of entomology consists of 11 published works, which are of faunistic character. He made an inventory of new insects too, in particular goldfish beetles. It has been indicated the possibilities of coating with putty of the vine’s lower part near ground to protect of it from grape scrub (Otiorhynchus asphaltinus Germ.). This putty was applied against other larvae of pest insects.

Bevezetés: Az Európai Betegségmegelőzési és Járványvédelmi
Központ adatai szerint a nyugat-nílusi vírus (West Nile virus, WNV) által
okozott neuroinvazív tünetegyüttes előfordulása nagymértékben emelkedett
Európában és hazánkban az elmúlt években. Ennek hátterében a klíma- és
csapadékviszonyok változása valószínűsíthető. A WNV által okozott zoonosist
szúnyogok terjesztik. A vírusfertőzés többnyire tünetmentes, 20%-ban általános
vírusfertőzéses tüneteket okoz, és kevesebb, mint 1%-ban halálos kimenetelű
neuroinvazív betegséghez vezethet. Célkitűzés: Közleményünk
célja saját eseteinken keresztül a WNV által okozott neuroinvazív tünetegyüttes
és az alkalmazott diagnosztikai és terápiás teendők bemutatása, valamint az
infekció kapcsán a differenciáldiagnosztikai dilemmák feloldása.
Módszer: A Somogy Megyei Kaposi Mór Kórházban 2018. július
31. és 2018. szeptember 4. között kezelt 4 beteg esetét mutatjuk be, akiknél
szerológiai és molekuláris biológiai módszerekkel igazolódott a WNV-fertőzés. A
retrospektív esetelemzést a WNV-fertőzés epidemiológiai áttekintésével
egészítettük ki. Eredmények: A jelzett időintervallumban
intézményünkben 4 betegnél igazolódott WNV-fertőzés. Minden esetben a
neurológiai tünetek széles skáláját észleltük, egy haláleset következett be. A
fertőzött betegek idősebbek voltak, valamint számos társbetegségben szenvedtek.
Következtetések: A WNV-fertőzésekre a súlyosabb,
neuroinvazív tünetekkel járó kórlefolyás megjelenése jellemző hazánkban is. A
fertőzés terápiája szupportív, fájdalomcsillapítást és a szekunder infekciók
kezelését foglalja magában. Az ismeretlen etiológiájú neurológiai kórképeknél –
különösen encephalitisre utaló tünettan esetén – fontos gondolni a
WNV-fertőzésre. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(51): 2026–2035.

Published: December 2019

Background: Limited research is available on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in Africa. The purpose of this study is to increase understanding of the diagnosis, treatment and education of children and adults with ASDs.Methods: Questionnaires and a structured interview were used to gather information from families of children and young adults (n=25, 19 male, 6 female, age range 3-30 years) with ASDs. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used to describe demographic background information, parent concerns prior to diagnosis, medical and developmental history, associated symptoms, education and treatment history, and perceived treatment needs. Demographic, medical, school, and treatment characteristics are presented alongside case reports to illustrate common themes.Results: Symptom severity measured using the Autism Spectrum Rating Scales revealed that the majority of the sample had ASD severity scores in the “elevated” or “very elevated” ranges. Participants were identified in early childhood, due to concerns about developmental delays. Few sleeping and eating difficulties were reported. While externalizing behaviors were cited as a primary concern, few participants utilized medications for the treatment of hyperactivity or aggression.Conclusions: Caregivers in this sample cite significant concerns about managing behavior, highlighting the need for additional parent training.
Infantile Spasms in Children with Down Syndrome: Detroit Experience
Authors: Marandi Elahe , Kumar Ajay , Kaddurah Ahmad , Chugani Harry 
Published: December 2019

Background: Children with Down syndrome frequently develop infantile spasms (IS); however, variable seizure outcome has been reported and not much is known about the clinical-electrophysiological factors affecting these outcomes. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical, neuroimaging and electrophysiological data in our DS with IS patient cohort, with a relatively long follow-up duration, to address some of these issues. Methods: Disease characteristics, diagnostic tests and treatment outcomes from 15 children (F: M=7:8) with IS and DS (follow-up duration: 10-197 months) were analyzed. Results: The median age at onset of spasms was 7 (2-16) months. EEG showed hypsarrhythmia in 10 infants, and patterns of diffusely disorganised background with multifocal independent spike-wave activity in the remaining five. Brain MRI (n=8) revealed no abnormality in 3, microcephaly in 2, delayed myelination in one, and minimal volume changes in 2. PET scans (n=5) showed diffuse glucose hypometabolism in 3, focal hypo- or hypermetabolism in 1 and 2 patients, respectively, and increased or decreased basal-ganglia metabolism in one each. Spasms disappeared in 8 patients (53.3%; six off medication), with girls (5/7; 71%) responding slightly better than boys (3/8; 37.5%). Seven of the 8 responders had shown hypsarrhythmia. Cessation of spasms was achieved by ACTH alone (n=1) or in combination with vigabatrin or zonisamide (n=1, each), and monotherapy with zonisamide (n=2), topiramate (n=1), prednisone (n=1), and ketogenic diet (n=1). Two patients showed evolution into complex partial seizure or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. One child had dystonic cerebral palsy associated with perinatal asphyxia. Conclusions: Spasms developed relatively later in patients with IS and DS, compared to cryptogenic IS patients, and showed modest response to treatment. Girls appear to have a better treatment response, with presence of hypsarrhythmia may signal a better treatment outcome.

Authors: Murat Turgay 
Published: December 2019

Avrupa’da Yahudi aleyhtarlığı ve Yahudi
milliyetçiliğinin etkisiyle başlayan, Filistin’de bir Yahudi Devleti kurma
fikri, Siyonizm olarak ifade edilmiş ve Yahudiler bu amaçlarını gerçekleştirmek
için harekete geçmişlerdir. İlk olarak Osmanlı nezdinde girişimlerde bulunan
Yahudiler istedikleri sonucu alamayınca Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında 1917
yılında Balfour Deklerasyonu ile İngilizlerden Filistin’de yurt edinme sözü
almışlardır. Yahudiler, Savaş’tan sonra
bölgenin İngiliz mandasına verilmesi ile Filistin’e yerleşme faaliyetlerini
yoğunlaştırmışlardır. Bu durum Araplar tarafından tepkiyle karşılanmış ve
çatışmalar başlamıştır. II. Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra ise İngiltere’nin bölgedeki
manda idaresine son vermesiyle Yahudiler İsrail Devleti’ni kurduklarını ilan
etmişlerdir. Bölgedeki bu süreç tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türk basını tarafından
da yakından takip edilmiştir. Biz bu çalışmamızda öncelikle Yahudilerin
Filistin’de devlet kurma sürecini inceleyerek, İsrail Devleti’nin kuruluşu,
Türk basınına yansıması ve bu süreçte Türkiye’nin olaylara bakış açısını
dönemin gazetelerinin önemli kalemlerinin yazılarıyla vermeye çalışacağız.

Authors: Petrovich Sedykh Arkadiy , Sergeevich Lukin Stanislav , Savova Georgieva Elena , Valerievna Puiu Iuliia , Borisovich Nikonov Sergey 
Published: December 2019

Purpose of the Study: This article aims to analyze and describe the food discourse and terms of the French language, as well as to determine correlations with the French national and cultural worldview. The study also considers the current state of "gastronomical discourse" based on the French food semiotic and communicative model.
Methodology: The authors of the article used the method of linguistic and semiotic modeling and heuristic interpretation developed by A.P. Sedykh. The authors also utilized tools of corpus linguistics and computer lexicography (National Corpus of the Russian language; a parallel corpus of the French language, n.d.), methods of a sociolinguistic survey and linguistic review.
Main Findings: The authors of the article considered and presented the linguistic and culturological features of the French food terms. They determined certain correlations between the national conceptual sphere and the art of cooking. The authors revealed certain similarities between the French ethnos and the culture of food consumption. It is shown that the French communication, modal constructions and nomination methods have ethnocultural features reflecting autochthonous preferences in terms of logic, semantics and strategies for achieving the goals of gastronomical communication.
Applications of this study: The application of research results. The study results can be useful for teaching French and intercultural communication in secondary schools and institutions of higher education, as well as for preparing university lectures and seminars on stylistics, lexicology and theoretical problems of studying a linguistic identity.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The scientific novelty of the study lies in innovative elements of the linguistic and semiotic approach to gluttony and prescription nominations in their correlation with the mental characteristics of the French linguacultural.
The prevalence of positive urine cultures in 100 dogs with an inactive urine sediment
Authors: Liebelt Rachel , Pigott Armi 
Published: December 2019

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of positive quantitative urine cultures in dogs with an inactive urine sediment.
Background: A urinalysis is a useful screening tool for the evaluation of evidence of bacterial cystitis and a quantitative urine culture is used for definitive diagnosis.
Evidentiary value: A retrospective chart review from June 2012 to December 2017 at three private practice emergency and specialty referral hospitals examined urine samples obtained from 100 client-owned dogs.
Methods: The signalment and clinicopathologic data was recorded for all canine patients that had urine samples obtained by cystocentesis that had an inactive sediment exam on urinalysis and subsequent quantitative urine cultures were performed.
Results: The prevalence of positive quantitative urine cultures in all dogs with an inactive urine sediment at the aforementioned institutions was 6% (6/100). Escherichia coli was the most commonly isolated bacteria.
Conclusion: Given the low prevalence of positive quantitative urine cultures in dogs with an inactive urine sediment and current guideline recommendations for management of subclinical bacteriuria, we do not recommend urine cultures for dogs without lower urinary tract signs. Further prospective study of patient subgroups, as well as controlled studies evaluating urine sample handling techniques using methods available to private practice practitioners are sorely needed.
Application: Emergency and general practicing veterinarians should consider a quantitative urine culture for dogs with lower urinary tract signs, even with an inactive sediment examination, and on a case-by-case basis for dogs with pertinent systemic diseases or known risk factors for bacterial cystitis.
TRACE FOSSILS OF PROBLEMATIC ORIGIN: ASSESSING SILICIFIED TRACE FOSSILS FROM THE PERMIAN OF UTAH, U.S.A.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTSilicification is a diagenetic process that can affect the fidelity of trace fossil preservation. The combination of compaction and oversilicification associated with chert precipitation can alter the original fabric created by the trace producers. Sedimentary structures and trace fossils in mixed chert-carbonate systems are especially prone to these processes, leading to the preservation of a limited or biased ichno-assemblage and the omission of important paleoecologic detail. We summarize useful criteria for identifying chert-associated trace fossils and present a formal naming scheme. Using this nomenclature, we identified silicified trace fossils in the chert-rich Permian strata from northwestern Utah. An assemblage of burrows is present in outcrops of the Trapper Creek Formation, consisting of nodule-like growths of microcrystalline quartz in close association with bioturbated horizons. Thin section micro-textures of burrow fill lend additional support to the bioturbated origin of chert nodules. Silicified Thalassinoides fossils are present, as are chert nodules with a Rhizocorallium-like morphology.
Revisión de la literatura en el diagnóstico imagenológico del quiste dentígero
Authors: Castro Pesce Rubén Alfredo 
Published: December 2019

El quiste dentígero, incluido dentro de la clasificación de los quistes odontogénicos por la OMS en el 2017, constituye una patología relevante en el áreabuco maxilofacial. Si bien su crecimiento es lento y asintomático, cuando alcanza grandes dimensiones, tiene capacidad para provocar destrucción ósea enlos maxilares, lo que ocasiona alteraciones estéticas y funcionales. Además, presenta una alta prevalencia, con el quiste odontogénico como el más común,después del quiste radicular inflamatorio. La radiología representa una herramienta fundamental en su diagnóstico y muchas veces su detección constituyeun hallazgo radiográfico. Normalmente, se emplean técnicas en 2D como la radiografía periapical, panorámica y oclusal, las cuales cumplen un rol muyimportante en su detección y diagnóstico. No obstante, debe considerarse que la similitud del quiste dentígero con otros procesos patológicos, tanto a nivel clínico como radiográfico, muchas veces lleva a un diagnóstico y tratamiento inadecuado. Con este trabajo se pretende evidenciar si el advenimiento de nuevas tecnologías como la resonancia magnética y la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico permiten mejorar la posibilidad del diagnósticodel quiste dentígero y distinguirlo de otras lesiones o patologías con las cuales se realiza el diagnóstico diferencial.

Abstract
Background : Sex is recognized as a significant determinant of outcome among glioblastoma patients, but the relative prognostic importance of glioblastoma features has not been thoroughly explored for sex differences. Methods : Combining multi-modal MR images, biomathematical models, and patient clinical information, this investigation assesses which pretreatment variables have a sex-specific impact on the survival of glioblastoma patients (299 males and 195 females). Results : Among males, tumor (T1Gd) radius was a predictor of overall survival (HR=1.027, p=0.044). Among females, higher tumor cell net invasion rate was a significant detriment to overall survival (HR=1.011, p<0.001). Female extreme survivors had significantly smaller tumors (T1Gd) (p=0.010 t-test), but tumor size was not correlated with female overall survival (p=0.955 CPH). Both male and female extreme survivors had significantly lower tumor cell net proliferation rates than other patients (M p=0.004, F p=0.001, t-test). Conclusion : Despite similar distributions of the MR imaging parameters between males and females, there was a sex-specific difference in how these parameters related to outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is one of the most important causative agents of neonatal sepsis. As administration of prophylactic antibiotics during labor can prevent GBS infection, routine screening for this bacterium in prenatal care before the onset of labor is recommended. However, many women present in labor without having undergone such testing during antenatal care, and the turnaround time of detection methods is insufficient for results to be obtained before delivery. Methods: Vaginal and anorectal specimens were collected from 270 pregnant women. Each sample was tested by Xpert GBS, qPCR, and culture for GBS detection. Results: The overall prevalence of maternal GBS colonization was 30.7% according to Xpert GBS, 51.1% according to qPCR, and 14.3% according to cultures. Considering the qPCR method as the reference, the Xpert GBS had a sensitivity of 53% and specificity of 93%. Positive Xpert GBS results were correlated to marital status (married or cohabitating) and with prematurity as a cause of neonatal hospitalization. Positive cultures were related with ischemic–hypoxic encephalopathy requiring therapeutic hypothermia. Conclusions: Combined enrichment/qPCR and the Xpert GBS rapid test found a high prevalence of GBS colonization. The Xpert GBS technique gives faster results and could be useful for evaluating mothers who present without antenatal GBS screening results and are at risk of preterm labor, thus allowing institution of prophylactic antibiotic therapy.
