Published: November 2018

Quantum chemical descriptors and empirical parameters are two different types of chemical parameters that play the fundamental roles in chemical reactivity and model development. However, previous studies have lacked detail regarding the relationship between quantum chemical descriptors and empirical constants. We selected polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as an object to investigate the intrinsic correlation between 16 quantum chemical descriptors and Hammett constants. The results exhibited extremely high linearity for ∑ σ o , m , p + with Qxx/yy/zz, α and EHOMO based on the meta-position grouping. Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) congeners, as two independent compounds, validated the reliability of the relationship. The meta-substituent grouping method between ∑ σ o , m , p + and α was successfully used to predict the rate constant (k) for •OH oxidation of PCBs, as well as the octanol/water partition coefficient (logKOW) and aqueous solubility (−logSW) of PCDDs, and exhibited excellent agreement with experimental measurements. Revealing the intrinsic correlation underlying the empirical constant and quantum chemical descriptors can develop simpler and higher efficient model application in predicting the environmental behavior and chemical properties of compounds.

Published: November 2018

BackgroundIn 2005,12% of the English population visited a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner.AimTo obtain up-to-date general population figures for practitioner-led CAM use in England, and to discover people's views and experiences regarding access.Design & settingA face-to-face questionnaire survey was commissioned. A nationally representative adult quota sample (aged ≥15 years) was used.MethodTen questions were included within Ipsos MORI’s weekly population-based survey. The questions explored 12-month practitioner-led CAM use, reasons for non-use, views on NHS-provided CAM, and willingness to pay.ResultsOf 4862 adults surveyed, 766 (16%) had seen a CAM practitioner. People most commonly visited CAM practitioners for manual therapies (massage, osteopathy, chiropractic) and acupuncture, as well as yoga, pilates, reflexology, and mindfulness or meditation. Women, people with higher socioeconomic status (SES) and those in south England were more likely to access CAM. Musculoskeletal conditions (mainly back pain) accounted for 68% of use, and mental health 12%. Most was through self-referral (70%) and self-financing. GPs (17%) or NHS professionals (4%) referred and/or recommended CAM to users. These CAM users were more often unemployed, with lower income and social grade, and receiving NHS-funded CAM. Responders were willing to pay varying amounts for CAM; 22% would not pay anything. Almost two in five responders felt NHS funding and GP referral and/or endorsement would increase their CAM use.ConclusionCAM use in England is common for musculoskeletal and mental health problems, but varies by sex, geography, and SES. It is mainly self-referred and self-financed; some is GP-endorsed and/or referred, especially for individuals of lower SES. Researchers, patients, and commissioners should collaborate to research the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of CAM and consider its availability on the NHS.
La transition α-β du quartz ; le point sur quelques problèmes actuels : transition ordre-désordre ou displacive, comportement thermodynamique

Published: November 2018

La transition α-β est l'une des transitions structurales qui a été le plus étudiée, cependant elle pose encore de nombreux problèmes non résolus. Nous présentons ici une revue de résultats obtenus ces dernières années :
— L'hypothèse que la phase haute température β soit une structure désordonnée a reçu un argument en sa faveur grâce à une nouvelle détermination de la structure par diffraction des neutrons.
— La transition α-β peut être décrite, en ce qui concerne la phase α, par la théorie de Landau des transitions du 1er ordre. Cependant, de nombreuses anomalies existent dans la phase β qui sortent du cadre de cette théorie. L'interface qui sépare les phases α et β est inhomogène et produit une diffusion importante de la lumière.
— Un mode mou, lié à la rotation des tétraèdres SiO4 a été observé. La dynamique des autres modes de vibration est aussi affectée à l'approche de la transition. Dans la phase β un mode mou suramorti a été détecté par diffusion des neutrons, ce qui indique un mouvement anharmonique, dans un potentiel local qui pourrait comporter plusieurs minima. Il semble qu'une description en terme de désordre dynamique corrélé rende le mieux compte des observations apparemment contradictoires pour la phase β.

Objective.To date, “healed/non-healed” and clinical judgment are the only available assessment tools for digital ulcers (DU) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The aim of our study is to examine a preliminary composite DU clinical assessment score (DUCAS) for SSc for face, content, and construct validity.Methods.Patients with SSc presenting at least 1 finger DU were enrolled and assessed with the Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index, Cochin scale, visual analog scale (VAS) for DU-related pain, patient global DU status, and global assessment as patient-reported outcomes (PRO), and physician VAS for DU status (phyGDU) as an SSc-DU expert physician/nurse measure. The DUCAS included 7 DU-related variables selected by a committee of SSc DU experts and weighted on a clinical basis. Face validity was examined by consensus and partial construct validity was tested through convergent correlation with other measures of hand function, using Spearman’s correlations. A range of patients with SSc was examined. A linear regression model with backward stepwise analysis was used to determine the relationship of individual variables with the primary clinical parameter, phyGDU.Results.Forty-four patients with SSc (9 males, mean age 55 ± 15 yrs, mean disease duration 9.9 ± 5.8 yrs) were enrolled in the study. Overall DUCAS showed significant positive correlations with all abovementioned PRO (r > 0.4, p < 0.01). When all scores and scales were modeled, only DUCAS significantly predicted phyGDU (r = 0.59, R2 = 0.354, Akaike information criterion = 385.4).Conclusion.Preliminarily, we suggest that the DUCAS may be a new clinical score for SSc-related DU, having face and content validity and convergent/divergent correlations (construct validity). These early data suggest that this score deserves further evaluation.
Creating a Climate for the Implementation of a Nursing Conceptual Framework

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, increasing numbers of service and educational institutions have initiated plans to implement a nursing conceptual framework to guide practice, education, administration, and research. Regardless of the conceptual framework being implemented, for effective change to occur, considerable attention must be paid to the nature of the learning process experienced by individual nurses. In this article, adult learning theory is discussed as it relates to the process of learning a nursing conceptual framework.

Abstract
Background: Injury is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. It is the second most common cause of death in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the last 15 years, claiming more than 1200 lives annually. Those numbers can be significantly reduced through first aid (FA) education and training. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitude toward FA in the UAE. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed through nonprobability sampling method to more than 500 residents across the UAE, aged at least 30 years. Data collection was conducted between July 20, 2017, and September 20, 2017. The number of participants from each city was proportionate to the population size according to the latest available census. Results: More than half of the population (54.2%) were not sufficiently knowledgeable about basic FA. Only 33.8% took an FA course. Age of the participants, higher education, and taking FA courses significantly increased the knowledge about basic FA information. Most of the population showed positive attitude toward FA and were willing to take an FA course in the future. Conclusion: The knowledge about FA in the UAE population is limited. FA courses must be made more accessible for the population and updated at frequent intervals. More emphasis should be given to basic FA information.

Abstract
Context: The occurrence of second malignancies is not rare in children treated for primary tumors. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and the outcomes of second malignancies in children and adolescents from a large tertiary pediatric hematology-oncology center. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed looking into the characteristics and outcomes of second malignant neoplasms in children and adolescents treated for primary malignancies in a single center over a 15-year period. Results: Among 270 children and adolescents treated for hematological malignancies and solid tumors from 2000 to 2015, five cases of second malignancy were diagnosed including cancer of the parotid gland, renal cell carcinoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, thyroid carcinoma, and transitional liver cell carcinoma in patients previously treated for acute myeloid leukemia, glioblastoma multiforme, B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and medulloblastoma, respectively. Primary malignancies were treated with chemotherapy in all cases and four out of five patients had also received radiotherapy. Mean age at diagnosis of second malignancy was 10 years and 4 months. Overall survival after diagnosis of second malignancy was 80% at 12 months and 75% at 5 years. Conclusions: Close surveillance and long-term follow-up are mandatory for the identification of late effects in children treated for malignancy.
Tubercular Mastitis Masquerading as Carcinoma Breast in Elderly Female: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Das Aditi , Panwar Hemlata , Hussain Nighat 
Published: November 2018

AbstractTubercular mastitis (TM), a great masquerader, is extremely rare in elderly. Diagnosis becomes challenging when patient’s age and clinical features favor carcinoma, as in our case, where a 70-year-old female presented with right breast lumps associated with overlying ulcers and right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of breast lump and lymph node followed by special staining and culture confirmed TM and lymphadenitis. Antitubercular therapy was initiated, and the patient got prompt relief. Here, we have discussed clinicocytological aspects of TM mimicking as carcinoma breast and diagnostic approach that should be undertaken. The case highlights the value of precise diagnosis, as specific treatment is indicated for tubercular and other granulomatous mastitis; placing an emphasis on meticulous investigation to rule out possibility of lethal malignancy in elderly; and necessity to always keep possibility of even rare entity like TM, irrespective of age, especially in India, where tuberculosis is endemic.

Published: November 2018

AbstractBackground: The etiology of verrucous lesions of the oral cavity is debatable, and many western studies attribute it to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although most Indian studies have found a strong association with tobacco chewing, the role of HPV has not been studied in the Indian context. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on the clinicopathological profile of 21 consecutive patients of verrucous lesions of the oral cavity. The patients were evaluated on the basis of addictions, pretreatment biopsy, p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC), and histopathological parameters. Results: Preoperative incisional biopsy revealed no dysplasia in 52.38%, mild-to-moderate dysplasia in 19.04%, and invasive carcinoma in 28.57% of the patients. About 67% of patients underwent surgical excision in our institute all of whom had invasive malignancy on final histopathology. This included 42.85% patients whose initial biopsy was no or mild dysplasia. All of the patients were negative for p16 IHC. Conclusions: Verrucous lesions in Indian population are caused by smokeless tobacco unlike that in the western countries where HPV is the main etiology. Clinical distinction between benign and malignant lesions is difficult, and we recommend complete surgical excision of the lesion with adequate margins whenever possible.
Pneumomediastinum and Subcutaneous Emphysema in the Neck, Axilla, and Chest Regions in a Patient with Olfactory Neuroblastoma Treated with Chemoradiotherapy

Published: November 2018

AbstractSpontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in the neck, axilla, and chest do not commonly occur after neoadjuvant cisplatin/etoposide chemotherapy, followed by radiotherapy, and adjuvant cisplatin/etoposide chemotherapy in patients with olfactory neuroblastoma. There are few case reports of pneumomediastinum induced by and occurring during bleomycin/etoposide/cisplatin chemotherapy in testicular cancer. The present case differs from the previous cases in that our patient developed spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in the neck, axilla, and chest approximately 2 months after completion of chemoradiotherapy for olfactory neuroblastoma. These conditions may have been treatment induced or caused by breath-holding after forceful inspiration. The latter would have created a massive pressure gradient between the alveoli and surrounding structures, causing alveolar rupture, and subsequent passage of air into the mediastinum and subcutaneous tissue of the neck, axilla, and chest.
L’usage en français du mot anglais « sentience » est-il pertinent ?
Authors: Le Bars Daniel , Milhaud Claude , Rousseau Jean-Paul 
Published: November 2018

Is it relevant to use the english word «sentience» in french ?
Since Aristotle animals are considered as sensitive beings, what was recognized at the legislative level in the French rural and civil codes in 1976 and 2017, respectively. The XVIIIth century philosophers introduced the concept of «sentience» – the ability to feel – to differ from the reason – the capacity to think –. This notion was then clarified by the Anglo-Saxon philosophers of mind to express the capacity to feel subjective experiences («qualia», «phenomenal consciousness»), a clear and relatively «simple» concept but only approachable by introspection. In spite of this ontological difficulty, some animal ethics thinkers wish to introduce this concept into the French language, without wondering about its polysemy which, already, blurs its meaning in the English-speaking literature. According to the authors, «sentience» includes sensations, perception, emotions, feelings, affects, feeling, cognition, consciousness, etc. Each of these terms being polysemic and belonging to both the philosophic and scientific fields, the generic name appears as a semantic oldall compromising any reasoned approach. To convince oneself, it is enough to envisage the confusion driven by the replacement of the assertion «the animal is a sensitive being» by «the animal is a sentient being». At the legislative level, it would be the source of regrettable misunderstandings. Let us also underline the semantic trap that hides the grammatical use of the defined article and the singular, so neglecting the extraordinary diversity of the animal kingdom that spread out over space – our planet – and time – 600 millions years –.
Hydrological functioning of western African inland valleys explored with a critical zone model

Published: November 2018

Abstract. Inland valleys are seasonally waterlogged headwater wetlands, widespread across western Africa. Their role in the hydrological cycle in the humid, hard-rock-dominated Sudanian savanna is not yet well understood. Thus, while in the region recurrent floods are a major issue, and hydropower has been recognized as an important development pathway, the scientific community lacks precise knowledge of streamflow (Q) generation processes and how they could be affected by the presence of inland valleys. Furthermore, inland valleys carry an important agronomic potential, and with the strong demographic rates of the region, they are highly subject to undergoing land cover changes. We address both the questions of the hydrological functioning of inland valleys in the Sudanian savanna of western Africa and the impact of land cover changes on these systems through deterministic sensitivity experiments using a physically based critical zone model (ParFlow-CLM) applied to a virtual generic catchment which comprises an inland valley. Model forcings are based on 20 years of data from the AMMA-CATCH observation service and parameters are evaluated against multiple field data (Q, evapotranspiration – ET –, soil moisture, water table levels, and water storage) acquired on a pilot elementary catchment. The hydrological model applied to the conceptual lithological/pedological model proposed in this study reproduces the main behaviours observed, which allowed those virtual experiments to be conducted. We found that yearly water budgets were highly sensitive to the vegetation distribution: average yearly ET for a tree-covered catchment (944 mm) exceeds that of herbaceous cover (791 mm). ET differences between the two covers vary between 12 % and 24 % of the precipitation of the year for the wettest and driest years, respectively. Consequently, the tree-covered catchment produces a yearly Q amount of 28 % lower on average as compared to a herbaceous-covered catchment, ranging from 20 % for the wettest year to 47 % for a dry year. Trees also buffer interannual variability in ET by 26 % (with respect to herbaceous). On the other hand, pedological features (presence – or absence – of the low-permeability layer commonly found below inland valleys, upstream and lateral contributive areas) had limited impact on yearly water budgets but marked consequences for intraseasonal hydrological processes (sustained/non-sustained baseflow in the dry season, catchment water storage redistribution). Therefore, subsurface features and vegetation cover of inland valleys have potentially significant impacts on downstream water-dependent ecosystems and water uses as hydropower generation, and should focus our attention.
