External Memory Aid Preferences of Individuals with Mild Memory Impairments
Authors: Wallace Sarah , Bourgeois Michelle , Lanzi Alyssa 
Published: June 2018

AbstractIndividuals with mild memory impairments often rely on external memory aids (EMAs) to compensate for impaired cognitive abilities and to support independent completion of activities of daily living. These strategies are evidence based; however, professionals have limited knowledge regarding individual preferences and guidance on how to incorporate a person-centered approach into the EMA development phase. The purpose of the current study was to qualitatively investigate individuals' preferences and experiences as they relate to EMAs. Data analysis included (1) evaluation of a posttreatment questionnaire to explore individual strategy preferences following intervention and (2) evaluation of group intervention videos using thematic coding to investigate individuals' experiences with strategies during intervention. Results suggest that older adults with mild memory impairments have unique preferences and experiences, despite limited variability in demographic characteristics. Some themes that emerged included memory ability awareness and attitudes toward technology. Within a person-centered approach, skilled professionals must consider individuals' unique needs, preferences, and experiences when developing strategies throughout the continuum of care to promote sustained EMA use within everyday settings.
The Impact of Aphasia Camp Participation on Quality of Life: A Primary Progressive Aphasia Perspective
Authors: Figeys Mathieu , Hubbard H. , Wilson Carlee , Kim Esther 
Published: June 2018

AbstractIndividuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and their caregivers are at risk for decreased quality of life (QoL) due to their progressive condition. Aphasia camps are an intervention that can improve QoL, yet individuals with PPA are underrepresented at aphasia camps relative to those with poststroke aphasia. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine the effect of participation in aphasia camp on the QoL of a couple impacted by PPA. The Living with Aphasia: Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM) was used to guide a semistructured interview with an individual with PPA and her spouse, both of whom had attended the Alberta Aphasia Camp for 4 years. Conventional content analysis with an inductive approach was used to analyze results. Concepts that emerged from the interview were organized into pre-camp, during, and post-camp categories. Aspects of camp that had an effect on post-camp QoL for this couple with PPA included expanding social connections and introduction to new activities. Personal characteristics exhibited by the couple had an impact on their experience of aphasia camp and how they incorporated their experiences into their everyday lives post-camp. Aphasia camps are a participation-based service approach that can benefit people with aphasia regardless of etiology. A consideration of personal factors of potential campers with PPA, and the provision of PPA-specific resources, is recommended for programs such as aphasia camps that incorporate participants with mixed etiologies.
Can Elastosonography Be Useful in Improving Diagnosis and Prognosis of Acute Muscle Injuries?
Authors: Cianforlini Marco , Ulisse Serena , Coppa Valentino , Grassi Marco , Rotini Marco , Gigante Antonio 
Published: June 2018

Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of elastosonography (USE) in the identification of different grades of muscular injuries, comparing its effectiveness with traditional ultrasound (US) survey and by relating the results to the clinical classification of muscular pain.
Methods In the period between August 2014 and May 2016, we conducted a prospective cohort study on a population of 34 young male professional athletes belonging to the same under-17 football club (Ancona 1905). Injuries were recorded according to location, type, mechanism, recurrence, and whether they occurred with or without contact. Muscle pain was classified, after a physical examination, according to the classification of Mueller-Wohlfahrt et al. All athletes were evaluated by musculoskeletal US and USE in hours following the trauma/onset of pain.
Results Seventy injuries were documented among 19 players. Muscle/tendon injuries were the most common type of injury (49%). USE showed areas of edema in nine lesions that were negative at the US examination and previously classified as fatigue-induced muscle disorders. These nine players took more time to return to physical activity compared with others with injuries classified into the same group, but negative at USE evaluation.
Conclusion USE is a valuable aid in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of muscle injury, as it detects pathologic changes that are not visible with the B-mode US.
Level of Evidence This is a Level III, observational cohort study.
Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy in Total Knee Arthroplasty: Midterm Results Experience of a Monocentric Study
Authors: Biggi Stefano , Divano Stefano , Tedino Riccardo , Capuzzo Andrea , Tornago Stefano , Camera Andrea 
Published: June 2018

Purpose Difficult primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and revision TKA may be high demanding, especially during joint exposure. Aim of this article is to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of a series of patients, who underwent TKA and revision TKA, where tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) was performed.
Methods We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of 79 consecutives TKAs where TTO was performed. Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically at their last follow-up (mean, 7.4 ± 3.7 years). Clinical evaluation included the Knee Society Score (KSS), the pain visual analogue scale (VAS), and range of motion. Radiological assessment included the evaluation of radiolucent lines, osteolysis, cortical bone hypertrophy, time of bone healing of the TTO fragment, and the hardware complication.
Results KSS raised from 40.7 ± 3.1 to 75 ± 4.3 (p < 0.0001). Knee flexion increased from 78.7 ± 9.9° to 95.0 ± 9.5° (p < 0.0001), and VAS improved from 7.9 ± 0.9 to 3.8 ± 1 (p < 0.0001). No signs of loosening or evolutive radiolucency lines were found. Osteolytic areas around the stem were detected. No significant association was found between the implant design and the outcomes, while aseptic loosening showed significantly better results. Complications were: 4 painful hardware, 3 late periprosthetic infections, 1 extension lag of 5°, and 3 flexion lag.
Conclusion Our experience suggests the use of TTO to improve the surgical approach in difficult primary TKA or revision TKA. A precise surgical technique leads to good results with low risk of complications.
Level of Evidence Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Introduction
Authors: Lyngfelt Benjamin 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
A constructicon is on the one hand a theoretical conception of language as a structured inventory of constructions, and on the other hand a collection of construction descriptions, essentially a practical instantiation of the former concept. In this introductory chapter, we review the role of these notions in constructionist theory and practice, and relate it to the closely connected development of Frame Semantics into FrameNet. Practical constructicon development is characterized as a combination of construction grammar and lexicography, for which we introduce the term constructicography. Central issues in constructicography are introduced, setting the stage for the explorations in the following chapters.
The FrameNet constructicon in action
Authors: Lee-Goldman Russell , Petruck Miriam R.L. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The present work provides an overview of the FrameNet Constructicon both as an addition to the FrameNet knowledge base and as proof of concept for theoretical and practical constructicon development. The paper begins with a brief discussion of the fundamental principles of Construction Grammar, which constitutes the theoretical basis of any constructicon development project. Introducing FrameNet Constructicon terminology and illustrating its usage with examples from a variety of constructions, the paper offers an in-depth exploration of the
be_recip construction (as in Paul is friends with Chuck), also demonstrating tools and techniques for analyzing the construction as well as the automatically produced reports that derive from the manual annotation of instances of the construction. The paper concludes by discussing the utility of construction documentation and annotation for language technology.
Towards continuity between the lexicon and the constructicon in FrameNet Brasil

Published: June 2018

Abstract
This chapter presents the theoretical discussion, analytical procedures, and corresponding computational implementations carried out by FrameNet Brasil to take the principle of the continuity between grammar and the lexicon to the computational domain by deeply integrating two frame-based resources under development for Brazilian Portuguese: a lexicon and a constructicon. To achieve this goal, we start by discussing the continuity principle in the Construction Grammar paradigm, that is, the founding idea that both the lexicon and what is usually referred to in most traditions as grammar can be accounted for in terms of constructions. After, we present the computational solutions that led to the development of a new common database structure for the FrameNet Brasil Lexicon and Construction: FN-Br 2.0. Finally, we present the analyses of two constructions in Brazilian Portuguese: the Dative with Infinitive Construction, which illustrates currently available features of FN-Br 2.0, and the Inceptive Aspect Construction, which imposes a series of new challenges to the model.
Intersubjectification and textual emphasis in the use of definite article + proper name in
Spanish
Authors: Calderón Campos Miguel 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This paper analyses the uses given to the structure [definite article + proper name] (e.g., el
Juan ‘lit. the Juan’) in the history of Spanish (Calderón Campos,
2015). It employs the notions of “expressive value” of the definite article (Epstein, 1994, 2001) and of “intersubjectification” (Traugott & Dasher, 2002). At present this structure has a restricted colloquial
use, with varying degrees of social perception and different pragmatic values depending on the communicative situation.
However, in the past it was employed in learned texts with two possible values: (i) a discourse-pragmatic use with an
anaphoric, non-judgemental value, equivalent to [‘the already mentioned’ + proper name]; and also a recognitial use, similar
to the Latin ille Socrates ‘the well-known Socrates’.1
On the position of overt subjects in infinitival clauses in Spanish and Portuguese
Authors: Schulte Kim 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
A synchronic survey of prepositional infinitive clauses reveals that the position of the subject depends heavily on the
preposition heading the infinitival clause; however, equivalent prepositions in Spanish and Portuguese do not necessarily
trigger a preference for the same word order. The differences can best be explained if the overt subject infinitive is
analysed not as a single construction, but as a cover term for a series of related but independent constructions that are,
diachronically, subject to different semantic, pragmatic and analogical pressures. Subsequent entrenchment of the most
frequent patterns can eventually cause the subject to appear either in pre- or post-infinitival position by default. This
process affects Spanish more than Portuguese, where the availability of an ‘inflected infinitive’ brings the syntax of
infinitival clauses more into line with that of finite ones.
Allative to purposive grammaticalisation
Authors: Torres Cacoullos Rena , Bauman Joseph 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The Spanish preposition para arises from fusion of older por
followed by a, via usage-based chunking (Bybee, 2010)
associated with the frequency of the sequence. At an early stage, semantic compositionality involving an independent meaning
contribution from the preposition a is discernible in allative uses with a destination that is a
person. A general decline of allative uses of para with a nominal complement, for both person
and place destinations, ensues after the 14th century. In a second change beginning in the 18th century, para replaces por with infinitive complements to become the majority purposive
variant. Thus, allative-to-purposive grammaticalisation (Heine & Kuteva, 2002)
occurs through changes both in para’s distribution across contexts and in its variation with the
older preposition.
Recurrent processes in the evolution of concessive subordinators in Spanish and Catalan
Authors: Pérez-Saldanya Manuel , Hualde José Ignacio 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Concessive conjunctions show a tendency to be often recycled and replaced along certain specific grammaticalisation patterns.
Here, after examining those general properties of concessive conjunctions that explain their historical instability, we focus
on the history of two such elements in Spanish and Catalan. First, we trace the semantic development of Spanish aunque/Catalan encara que from conditional concessive (‘even if’) to
purely concessive (‘although’) and even, in some contexts, adversative (‘but’). Secondly, we consider the trajectory of
Spanish puesto que, which is first attested with conditional concessive value (‘provided that’,
‘even if’) and only later became a causal conjunction (‘since’), apparently at odds with the standard pattern of development
that we see in other cases.
Si as a Q-particle in Old Spanish
Authors: Rodríguez Molina Javier , Enrique-Arias Andrés 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This study examines the origin of Old Spanish direct interrogative si, a structure that has
barely been described in the literature. An analysis of historical texts shows that it originates from the Classical Latin
conditional conjunction si, which in Late Latin became a complementiser in embedded
interrogatives and eventually a polar interrogative particle. This evolution is documented primarily in biblical translations.
However, its continuation in Medieval Romance varieties proves that direct interrogative si was
used in vernacular Latin. The evolution of direct interrogative si constitutes a case of
insubordination (i.e. the conventionalised use in a main clause of a subordinate clause marker), a process that has not been
considered in accounts of the historical origin of interrogative particles in grammaticalisation studies.1
Realmente, verdaderamente and ciertamente
Authors: González Manzano Mónica 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
This paper deals with the historical evolution of three epistemic adverbs in Spanish, verdaderamente, realmente and ciertamente. First, we
describe how these adverbs grammaticalise – or pragmaticalise – as discourse markers and, therefore, widen their structural
scope. Secondly, we show how these words experience a subsequent functionalisation, allowing them to function once again as
adverbs, but now as adjective modifiers and not as verbal adverbs. Finally, we conclude that the fact that verdaderamente, ciertamente and realmente preserve all these different meanings at the same time is not out of line with many other
grammaticalisation processes, a feature defined in the bibliography as “layering” (Hopper,
1991).
Quantifying Real-World Upper-Limb Activity Via Patient-Initiated Movement After Nerve Reconstruction for Upper Brachial Plexus Injury
Authors: Smith Brandon W , Chang Kate W-C , Saake Serena J , Yang Lynda J-S , Chung Kevin C , Brown Susan H 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

BACKGROUND
A critical concept in brachial plexus reconstruction is the accurate assessment of functional outcomes. The current standard for motor outcome assessment is clinician-elicited, outpatient clinic-based, serial evaluation of range of motion and muscle power. However, discrepancies exist between such clinical measurements and actual patient-initiated use. We employed emerging technology in the form of accelerometry-based motion detectors to quantify real-world arm use after brachial plexus surgery.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate (1) the ability of accelerometry-based motion detectors to assess functional outcome and (2) the real-world arm use of patients after nerve transfer for brachial plexus injury, through a pilot study.

METHODS
Five male patients who underwent nerve transfer after brachial plexus injury wore bilateral motion detectors for 7 d. The patients also underwent range-of-motion evaluation and completed multiple patient-reported outcome surveys.

RESULTS
The average age of the recruits was 41 yr (±17 yr), and the average time from operation was 2 yr (±1 yr). The VT (time of use ratio) for the affected side compared to the unaffected side was 0.73 (±0.27), and the VM (magnitude ratio) was 0.63 (±0.59). VT strongly and positively correlated with shoulder flexion and shoulder abduction: 0.97 (P = .008) and 0.99 (P = .002), respectively.

CONCLUSION
Accelerometry-based activity monitors can successfully assess real-world functional outcomes after brachial plexus reconstruction. This pilot study demonstrates that patients after nerve transfer are utilizing their affected limbs significantly in daily activities and that recovery of shoulder function is critical.
Study on the Angiogenic Effect of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound
Authors: Naruse Kouji , Hirakawa Noriko , Uchino Masataka 
Published: June 2018

Objectives:
We examined the angiogenic effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on immunohistological outcomes in a rat femoral fracture model, vascular endothelial cell migration, and allogeneic bone tissue transplant in a rat model.

Subjects and Methods:
Experiment 1: We exposed the fracture site in the femur of the Wister rat model to LIPUS every day. We collected the femur on the 14th day after bone fracture and prepared decalcified tissue sections. We performed immunostaining with anti-VEGF antibody in serial sections for comparison with the non-treated group. Experiment 2: We performed a scratch test 12 hours after plating 1 × 106 human vascular endothelial cells in a 6-well culture plate. To examine the effect of LIPUS on cell migration, we exposed cells to LIPUS via the bottom face of the culture plate for comparison with the non-treated group. Experiment 3: We transplanted a delipidized frozen dry bone to the anterior surface of a Wister rat femur, and exposed the site to LIPUS every day. We collected the femur 3 weeks after transplantation for histological examination.

Results:
Experiment 1: The LIPUS radiation group exhibited an anti-VEGF positive region surrounding the callus, and robust new vascularization was confirmed in the region. Experiment 2: Vascular endothelial cell migration was promoted in the LIPUS treated group. Experiment 3: The LIPUS treatment group exhibited significant formation of new vascularization around the grafted bone, compared with the non-treated group, in addition to significant formation of TRAP-positive cells.

Discussions:
It was suggested that LIPUS would promote the formation of new vascularization and accelerate cell migration.

The incidence of posthysterectomy prolapse ranges from 6% to 8%. Many surgeons treat posthysterectomy or vault prolapse differently than uterovaginal prolapse in women planning to undergo surgery for apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP), because they believe that a previous hysterectomy increases both risk of prolapse recurrence and adverse events.

(Abstracted from Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2018;97:89–96)
Multiple studies have found a temporal increase in the incidence of severe maternal morbidity and mortality in recent years in the United States; for instance, between 1998/1999 and 2008/2009, severe maternal morbidity during delivery hospitalizations increased by 75%. This increase has not been uniform across all demographic groups.
