Językowy obraz duszy w młodopolskich ekfrazach inspirowanych dziełami malarskimi Arnolda Böcklina
Authors: Bagińska Lucyna 
Published: June 2019

The linguistic image of the soul in Polish early modernist ekphrases inspired by Arnold Böcklin’s paintingsThis article presents the results of a reconstruction of the linguistic image of the soul as an element of the represented world in the ekphrases by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer, Maria Poraska, Zuzanna Rabska, Wanda Aleksandra Stanisławska, Lucjan Rydel and Karol Łepkowski. Their genesis lies in the fascination with works by Arnold Böcklin, one of the most famous painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article focuses on the axiological aspect and opens with a definition of the terms ekphrase and work of art. The analyses of the poems mainly rely on the tools of cognitive linguistics: profiling, conceptual metaphor and amalgamate. Językowy obraz duszy w młodopolskich ekfrazach inspirowanych dziełami malarskimi Arnolda BöcklinaCelem artykułu jest przedstawienie rezultatów rekonstrukcji językowego obrazu duszy jako motywu świata przedstawionego ekfraz takich autorów i autorek, jak: Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer, Maria Poraska, Zuzanna Rabska, Wanda Aleksandra Stanisławska, Lucjan Rydel, Leopold Staff i Karol Łepkowski, których geneza wynika z fascynacji wymienionych twórców malarstwem Arnolda Böcklina, jednego z najpopularniejszych artystów tworzących na Zachodzie Europy na przełomie XIX i XX wieku. W odtwarzaniu językowego obrazu duszy szczególnie eksponuję aspekt aksjologiczny pojęcia. Sposoby jego konceptualizacji i wartościowania w wierszach zestawiam z objaśnieniami leksemu dusza w języku ogólnym również z przełomu XIX i XX wieku, czyli z czasu, w którym powstawały badane ekfrazy. Rozważania zaczynam od zdefiniowania terminów „ekfraza” oraz „dzieło malarskie”. W artykule pojawią się też niezbędne informacje na temat kontekstu estetyczno-filozoficznego przełomu XIX i XX wieku jako tła dla wątku aksjologicznego przedstawianego zagadnienia. W analizie wyekscerpowanego z wierszy wymienionych autorów materiału językowego (nie we wszystkich utworach wystąpiły jednostki językowe przyporządkowane analizowanemu pojęciu) wykorzystuję przede wszystkim narzędzia językoznawstwa kognitywnego: profilowanie, metaforę pojęciową i amalgamat. Stosując je, opiszę nie tylko konceptualizacje i aksjologię pojęcia ‘dusza’ w badanych wierszach wymienionych poetów, ale też ukażę takie przestrzenie poezji w interpretacji utworów literackich, które przy zastosowaniu tradycyjnej poetyki umknęłyby uwadze badacza.
The Fall of the Alberto Fujimori Government: New Evidence and Interpretations
Authors: Santander Joo Carlos Ugo , Domínguez Avila Carlos Federico 
Published: June 2019

New evidence and interpretations regarding the end of the authoritarian Alberto Fujimori regime and the Peruvian democratic transition of 2000 suggest that preexisting electoral and institutional rules intrinsic to the authoritarian regime contributed to a process of regime change. Thus Peru can be seen as one of the few Latin American nations in which the transition was caused by a rupture in contrast to the pacted-reform/rupture transitions most common in the region. Nuevas evidencias e interpretaciones sobre el fin del régimen autoritario de Alberto Fujimori y la transición democrática en 2000 sugieren que las elecciones y las reglas institucionales preexistentes y propias de la naturaleza de un régimen autoritario contribuyeron a un proceso de cambio de régimen. Así, Perú puede ser considerado entre los pocos países en el concierto latinoamericano en los que se estableció una transición por ruptura a diferencia de las transiciones por pactada-reforma/ruptura predominante en la region.

Published: June 2019

Background: Consumers are involved more than ever in their health care, with many utilizing the Internet for health information. YouTube is a convenient and vast source of health education videos. Pharmaceutical companies, health organizations, providers, and others post instructional videos for the use of the Respimat® Soft Mist™ Inhaler device on sites like YouTube. Therefore, review of content and quality is important to ensure consumers are directed to the best information available. Objective: Assess content and quality of YouTube videos demonstrating Respimat Soft Mist inhaler technique. Methods: YouTube was queried May 16, 2018 using the term “Respimat inhaler.” The first 35 unique videos in English with instructions for use were assessed. Technical quality of each video was evaluated using a validated scale and content assessed using manufacturer/package insert. Results: Of 35 videos reviewed, median duration was 2 minutes 50 seconds (interquartile range [IQR]: 1 minute 23 seconds-4 minutes 22 seconds). Target audience was laypeople for 97% (n = 34) of videos. The source was a professional organization for 70% (n = 24). Most (74%, n = 24) received the maximum quality score of 5. Commonly omitted steps included documentation of the discard date (74%), repetitive dose activation until spray is visible (49%), and pointing inhaler to the back of the throat (43%). Conclusions: Proper technique is crucial for patients to achieve optimal results from inhaled medications. While many videos are available through YouTube for demonstration of Respimat Soft Mist inhaler technique, some omitted key steps. Thorough and repetitive patient education should be provided, and augmented with reputable online sources.

Authors: Akarsu Kamile , Koç Ayşegül , Ertuğ Nurcan 
Published: June 2019

Background:Percutaneous coronary interventions cause anxiety in patients, although these procedures are lifesaving.Aim:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nature sounds and earplug interventions on the anxiety of patients after percutaneous coronary interventions.Methods:A randomized controlled trial design was used in this study. A total of 114 patients who were scheduled to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention were allocated to three groups in a randomized manner: two intervention groups (nature sound group, earplug group) and one control group. The Visual Analog Scale, State Anxiety Inventory and physiological parameters were used to measure anxiety. Data were collected from the patients at three time points: immediately before, immediately after and 30 minutes after the interventions.Results:The respiratory rates and the Visual Analog Scale and State Anxiety Inventory scores of patients in the nature sound and earplug groups immediately after and 30 minutes after the interventions were significantly lower than those of the control group ( p < 0.05). No differences were found when comparing respiratory rates, Visual Analog Scale scores and State Anxiety Inventory scores between patients in the nature sound group and patients in the earplug group ( p > 0.05). No changes were observed in the pulse and systolic/diastolic blood pressure values of patients in the control and intervention groups ( p > 0.05).Conclusions:It was determined that nature sounds and earplug interventions are effective in reducing the anxiety of patients following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Authors: Oey Rosalie C. , Buck Lennart E.M. , Erler Nicole S. , van Buuren Henk R. , de Man Robert A. 
Published: June 2019

Background: After 5  years since the registration of rifaximin-α as a secondary prophylaxis for overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in the Netherlands, we aimed to evaluate the use of hospital resources and safety of rifaximin-α treatment in a real-world setting. Methods: We carried out prospective identification of all patients using rifaximin-α for overt HE. We assessed hospital resource use, bacterial infections, and adverse events during 6-month episodes before and after rifaximin-α initiation. Results: During 26 months we included 127 patients [71.7% male; median age 60.8 years (interquartile range: 56.2–66.1); median model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score 15.0 (interquartile range: 12.1–20.4); 98% using lactulose treatment]. When comparing the first 6 months after rifaximin-α initiation with the prior 6 months, HE-related hospital admissions decreased (0.86 to 0.41 admissions/patient; p < 0.001), as well as the mean length of stay (8.85 to 3.79 bed days/admission; p < 0.001). No significant differences were found regarding HE-related intensive care unit admissions (0.09 to 0.06 admission/patient; p = 0.253), stay on the intensive care unit (0.43 to 0.57 bed days/admission; p = 0.661), emergency department visits (0.66 to 0.51 visits/patient; p = 0.220), outpatient clinic visits (2.49 to 3.30 bed visits/patient; p = 0.240), or bacterial infections (0.41 to 0.35 infections/patient; p = 0.523). Adverse events were recorded in 2.4% of patients. Conclusions: The addition of rifaximin-α to lactulose treatment was associated with a significant reduction in the number and length of HE-related hospitalizations for overt HE. Rifaximin-α treatment was well tolerated.
Mieux comprendre les défis de la médicalisation de la prévention du VIH en France : la prophylaxie préexposition au prisme des sciences sociales
Authors: Carillon Séverine , Girard Gabriel 
Published: June 2019

Résumé : Le recours aux traitements antirétroviraux pour la prévention du VIH transforme en profondeur le contexte des interventions dans ce domaine. La prophylaxie pré-exposition (Prep) en constitue l’une des facettes les plus visibles. Pour autant, l’utilisation de la Prep en France s’avère limitée. L’outil peine à trouver son public parmi les populations ciblées. Comment expliquer la sous-utilisation d’une approche de prévention dont la haute efficacité est pourtant démontrée ? Les réponses à cette question gagneraient à s’enrichir des sciences humaines et sociales tant pour penser les conditions de l’appropriation de l’outil par les publics ciblés que pour identifier les impensés et les logiques qui sous-tendent son déploiement. Loin de se limiter au VIH, la réflexion critique sur le recours aux médicaments comme outils de prévention ouvre des questions pertinentes pour le champ de la promotion de la santé.

Authors: Chan Chris Yin Wei , Naing Kyaw Soe , Chiu Chee Kidd , Mohamad Siti Mariam , Kwan Mun Keong 
Published: June 2019

Purpose: To analyze the incidence, pattern, and contributing factors of pelvic obliquity among Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients who will undergo surgery. Methods: In total, 311 patients underwent erect whole spine anteroposterior, lateral and lower limb axis films. Radiographic measurements included Transilium Pelvic Height Difference (TPHD; mm), Hip Abduction-Adduction angle (H/Abd-Add; °), Lower limb Length Discrepancy (LLD; mm), and Pelvic Hypoplasia (PH angle; °). The incidence and severity of pelvic obliquity were stratified to Lenke curve subtypes in 311 patients. The causes of pelvic obliquity were analyzed in 57 patients with TPHD ≥10 mm. Results: The mean Cobb angle was 64.0 ± 17.2°. Sixty-nine patients had a TPHD of 0 mm (22.2%). The TPHD was <5 mm in 134 (43.0%) patients, 5–9 mm in 104 (33.4%) patients, 10–14 mm in 52 (16.7%) patients, 15–19 mm in 19 (6.1%) patients, and ≥20 mm in only 2 (0.6%) patients. There was a significant difference between the Lenke curve types in terms of TPHD ( p = 0.002). L6 curve types had the highest TPHD of 9.0 ± 6.3 mm followed by L5 curves, which had a TPHD of 7.1 ± 4.8 mm. In all, 44.2% of L1 curves and 50.0% of L2 curves had positive TPHD compared to 66.7% of L5 curves and 74.1% of L6 curves which had negative TPHD. 33.3% and 24.6% of pelvic obliquity were attributed to PH and LLD, respectively, whereas 10.5% of cases were attributed to H/Abd-Add positioning. Conclusions: 76.4% of AIS cases had pelvic obliquity <10 mm; 44.2% of L1 curves and 50.0% of L2 curves had a lower right hemipelvis compared to 66.7% of L5 curves and 74.1% of L6 curves, which had a higher right hemipelvis. Among patients with pelvic obliquity ≥10 mm, 33.3% were attributed to PH, whereas 24.6% were attributed to LLD.
Uncemented extensive porous titanium-coated long femoral stem prostheses are effective in treatment of Vancouver type B2 periprosthetic femoral fractures: A retrospective mid- to long-term follow-up study
Authors: Wang Qiuru , Li Donghai , Kang Pengde 
Published: June 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid- to long-term outcomes of revision surgery for Vancouver type B2 periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) after total hip arthroplasty using an uncemented extensive porous titanium-coated long femoral stem prosthesis (solution prosthesis) with or without cortical strut allograft. Methods: A total of 34 patients with Vancouver type B2 PFFs who underwent revision hip arthroplasty using a posterolateral approach and received a solution prosthesis at our institution from December 2006 to January 2014 were retrospectively recruited. Patients were asked to assess their walking ability and pain status using a questionnaire. Limb function, pain, and physical and mental health were assessed using the Harris Hip score, University of California-Los Angeles score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index, and Short Form-12 Health Survey score. Patients were also asked to rate their satisfaction with the surgery. Fracture union and stress shielding were assessed by radiography, and computed tomography was used to assess stem fixation. Single-photon emission computed tomography performed to assess radionuclide distribution in patients given cortical strut allografts. Patients were asked about their condition before PFF and evaluated at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and annually after surgery. Any complications during follow-up were recorded. Results: Of the 34 patients, 29 completed follow-up. There was no significant difference in patient’s health before PFF or at the last follow-up. Fracture union was achieved in all patients. Mild-to-moderate stress shielding occurred in three patients, and no patients exhibited femoral stem loosening or obvious subsidence. Radionuclides were concentrated in the cortical strut transplantation area, and the cortical strut was integrated with the host femur. The incidence of postoperative complications was low. Conclusions: Revision surgery using the solution prosthesis with or without cortical strut allograft is effective in treating Vancouver type B2 PFFs, with satisfactory mid- and long-term clinical and radiological outcomes.
Opioid prescribing practices following elective surgery in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery
Authors: Biskup Mathew , Dzioba Agnieszka , Sowerby Leigh J. , Monteiro Eric , Strychowsky Julie 
Published: June 2019

Background Prescription opioid abuse has become a major issue across the world and especially in North America. Canada has the second highest number of opioid prescriptions per capita in the world, second only to the United States, with numbers continuing to rise in recent years. Surgeons play a critical role in this discussion as they are responsible for the management of post-operative pain in their patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the opioid prescribing practices of Otolaryngologists-Head and Neck Surgeons in Canada and determine factors that may influence these practices. Methods The online survey was distributed to members of the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Questions surveyed the respondents’ demographics and opioid prescribing practices for common pediatric and adult elective surgeries. Results The survey was sent to 670 surgeons and trainees and 121 responses were received (18%). There was representation across all subspecialties with a mix of community and academic surgeons. The most commonly prescribed opioid was Codeine/Acetaminophen, 48.2% ( n = 53), in the adult population, and Morphine, 47.1% ( n = 41), in the pediatric population. The median total oral morphine equivalents prescribed across all adult surgeries was 123.75 mg (24.75 doses). The surgery with the highest oral morphine equivalents prescribed was tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy for both adult and pediatric patients, with a median of 150 mg (30 doses) for adults and 4.5 mg/kg (23 doses) for pediatrics. Gender, training years, year in residency, or reported level of conservatism did not predict the dose prescribed to either adult or pediatric patients. Due to the relatively low response rate, the generalizability of these results is unclear. Conclusions Our study demonstrates a wide variability in opioid prescriptions across procedures and within each individual procedure. This variability reflects the lack of guidelines available for post-operative opioid prescribing and suggests that some Otolaryngologists may be prescribing higher doses of opioids than required. Opportunities for improving patient safety and resource stewardship regarding optimal prescribing practices should be explored.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Realistic estimation and synthesis of articulated human motion must satisfy anatomical constraints on joint angles. A data-driven approach is used to learn human joint limits from 3D motion capture datasets. We represent joint constraints with a new formulation (s
1,s
2,τ) using swing-twist representation in exponential maps form. Our parameterization is applied on Human3.6M dataset to create the lookup-map for each joint. These maps enable us to generate ‘synthetic’ datasets in entire joint rotation space of a given joint. A set of neural network discriminators is then trained with synthetic datasets to learn valid/invalid joint rotations. The discriminators achieve accuracy of [94.4−99.4%] for different joints. We validate precision-accuracy trade-off of discriminators and qualitatively evaluate classified poses with an interactive tool. The learned discriminators can be used as ‘priors’ for human pose estimation and motion synthesis.
Homelessness and severe mental illness in low- and middle-income countries: scoping review
Authors: Smartt Caroline , Prince Martin , Frissa Souci , Eaton Julian , Fekadu Abebaw , Hanlon Charlotte 
Published: June 2019

Background
Despite being a global problem, little is known about the relationship between severe mental illness (SMI) and homelessness in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Homeless people with SMI are an especially vulnerable population and face myriad health and social problems. In LMICs, low rates of treatment for mental illness, as well as differing family support systems and cultural responses to mental illness, may affect the causes and consequences of homelessness in people with SMI.

Aims
To conduct a systematic, scoping review addressing the question: what is known about the co-occurrence of homelessness and SMI among adults living in LMICs?

Method
We conducted an electronic search, a manual search and we consulted with experts. Two reviewers screened titles and abstracts, assessed publications for eligibility and appraised study quality.

Results
Of the 49 included publications, quality was generally low: they were characterised by poor or unclear methodology and reporting of results. A total of 7 publications presented the prevalence of SMI among homeless people; 12 presented the prevalence of homelessness among those with SMI. Only five publications described interventions for this population; only one included an evaluation component.

Conclusions
Evidence shows an association between homelessness and SMI in LMICs, however there is little information on the complex relationship and direction of causality between the phenomena. Existing programmes should undergo rigorous evaluation to identify key aspects required for individuals to achieve sustainable recovery. Respect for human rights should be paramount when conducting research with this population.

Authors: Harrison Paul J. , Tunbridge Elizabeth M. , Dolphin Annette C. , Hall Jeremy 
Published: June 2019

SummaryWe reappraise the psychiatric potential of calcium channel blockers (CCBs). First, voltage-gated calcium channels are risk genes for several disorders. Second, use of CCBs is associated with altered psychiatric risks and outcomes. Third, research shows there is an opportunity for brain-selective CCBs, which are better suited to psychiatric indications.
Towards a new model for producing evidence-based guidelines: a qualitative study of current approaches and opportunities for innovation among Australian guideline developers
Authors: McDonald Steve , Elliott Julian H. , Green Sally , Turner Tari 
Published: June 2019

Background: Many organisations in Australia undertake systematic reviews to inform development of evidence-based guidelines or would like to do so. However, the substantial resources required to produce systematic reviews limit the feasibility of evidence-based approaches to guideline development. We are working with Australian guideline developers to design, build and test systems that make creating evidence-based guidelines easier and more efficient. Methods: To understand the evidence needs of guideline developers and to inform the development of potential tools and services, we conducted 16 semi-structured interviews with Australian guideline developers. Developers were involved in different types of guidelines, represented both new and established guideline groups, and had access to widely different levels of resources. Results: All guideline developers recognised the importance of having access to timely evidence to support their processes, but were frequently overwhelmed by the scale of this task. Groups developing new guidelines often underestimated the time, expertise and work involved in completing searching and screening. Many were grappling with the challenge of updating and were keen to explore alternatives to the blanket updating of the full guideline. Horizon-scanning and evidence signalling were seen as providing more pragmatic approaches to updating, although some were wary of challenges posed by receiving evidence on a too-frequent basis. Respondents were aware that new technologies, such as machine learning, offered potentially large time and resource savings. Conclusions: As well as the constant challenge of managing financial constraints, Australian guideline developers seeking to develop clinical guidelines face several critical challenges. These include acquiring appropriate methodological expertise, investing in information technology, coping with the proliferation of research output, feasible publication and dissemination options, and keeping guidance up to date.
