Authors: Urdiales-Gálvez Fernando , Martín-Sánchez Sandra , Maíz-Jiménez Mónica , Castellano-Miralla Antonio , Lionetti-Leone Leonardo 
Published: May 2019

AbstractBackgroundFacial aging is a process that involves many different changes. Therefore, in many patients, it may be necessary to perform a combined treatment. Botulinum toxin A and dermal fillers are the two most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed globally to treat age-associated changes. However, there are not many studies reporting the concomitant use of dermal fillers and laser technology for facial rejuvenation. This review aims to assess the concomitant use of dermal hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and laser technology for facial rejuvenation.MethodsThe present updated consensus recommendations are based on the experience and opinions of the authors and on a literature search.ResultsIf a combined procedure (HA and light treatments) is to be performed, on the same day, the panel recommends starting always with the light treatments, avoiding skin manipulations after having injected HA. To customize the therapeutic management, it is crucial to establish a precise diagnosis of the photodamage and loss of volumes suffered by the patients.ConclusionsThe currently available scientific evidence about the combined use of HA fillers and laser–radiofrequency–intense pulsed light (laser/RF/IPL) is limited and encompasses mainly small and nonrandomized studies. Nevertheless, most of these studies found that, on average, the concomitant use (same day) of laser and HA fillers for facial rejuvenation represents an effective and safe strategy which improves clinical results and patient’s satisfaction. Future well-designed clinical studies are needed regarding the effectiveness and safety of combination filler/laser treatments.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Geschlechtergerechte Paartherapie mit heterosexuellen Paaren: Reflexionen zu einem utopischen Unterfangen
Authors: Kirschenhofer Sabine 
Published: May 2019

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Text möchte ich zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit Geschlecht und Geschlechterverhältnissen einladen – als systemische Therapeutin wähle ich dafür das mir vertraute Arbeitsfeld der Paartherapie mit heterosexuellen Paaren. Nach einer Begriffsklärung, was geschlechtergerecht im Kontext von Paartherapie für mich bedeutet, werde ich aus einer feministischen Perspektive mit einem kritischen Blick auf zeitgenössische patriarchale Verhältnisse operieren: Ich werde dies zuerst anhand eines verdichteten Fallbeispiels tun; danach prüfe ich die systemische Therapie darauf, wie sie für dieses Thema nutzbar gemacht werden kann und wo sie versagt. Im letzten Abschnitt biete ich Empfehlungen zur Selbstreflexion an, um sich im Balanceakt eines Sowohl als auch zu üben – sowohl der Berücksichtigung von Unterschieden als auch einem Offenbleiben für die Einzigartigkeit von Menschen jenseits von Geschlecht.
Workaholism Components in Relation to Life and Work Values
Authors: Malinowska Diana , Tokarz Aleksandra 
Published: May 2019

AbstractTwo studies were conducted to examine the association of two workaholism components (drive to work and work enjoyment) with life and work values. Study 1 examined whether life values that are lower on the ideal value hierarchy predict the drive to work; and whether life values that are higher on the hierarchy predict work enjoyment. Study 2 tested the hypotheses that extrinsic work values predict the drive to work, whereas intrinsic work values predict work enjoyment. The results of study 1 showed that moral values, which represent higher order life values, were negatively correlated with the drive to work and positively correlated with work enjoyment. Work enjoyment was also negatively associated with vital values, which have a low position on the ideal life values hierarchy. Hypotheses about the relationships between the two workaholism components and life and work values were not fully confirmed.
The Effect of Early Life Trauma on Compulsive Sexual Behavior Among Members of a 12-Step Group
Authors: Efrati Yaniv , Gola Mateusz 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Early life trauma is at the core of many psychopathologies, including compulsive sexual behavior (CSB). The intermediate processes linking early life trauma and CSB have been less well studied.

Aims
To investigate whether impulsiveness, internalizing symptoms, sensation-seeking, and self-criticism mediate the links between early life trauma and CSB.

Methods
The sample comprised 65 Sexaholics Anonymous members and 47 healthy volunteers who completed self-report measures assessing CSB, early life trauma, and the mediating variables.

Main Outcomes Measures
The main outcome measures were severity of CSB symptoms, impulsiveness, internalizing symptoms, sensation-seeking, self-criticism, and early life trauma.

Results
The analysis indicated that the total effect of early life trauma on CSB was significant, with more prevalent and severe trauma relating to higher CSB. The analysis also revealed that this effect was significantly mediated by 3 mediation paths—greater sensation-seeking, internalizing symptoms, and self-criticism—and that these measures in turn were associated with higher CSB.

Conclusion
Our findings provide an opportunity for researchers to gain a better insight into the effect of early life trauma on CSB.

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is frequently used in the treatment of prostate cancer worldwide. Variable testosterone (T) recovery profiles after ADT cessation have been cited.

Aim
To evaluate T recovery after cessation of ADT.

Methods
We reviewed our institutional prospectively maintained database of patients with prostate cancer who received ADT. Serum early morning total T (TT) levels, collected at baseline and periodically after ADT cessation, were analyzed. Patient age, baseline T level, duration of ADT, and presence of diabetes and sleep apnea were selected as potential predictors of T recovery. 3 metrics of T recovery after 24 months of ADT cessation were analyzed: return to non-castrate level (TT &gt; 50 ng/dL), return to normal (T &gt; 300 ng/dL), and return back to baseline level (BTB). Multivariable time-to-event analysis (Cox proportional hazards), χ2 test, logistic regression model, and Kaplan-Meier curve were performed to define impact of the above predictors on time and chance of T recovery.

Main Outcome Measures
Time and chance of T recovery to non-castrate level (TT &gt; 50 ng/dL), return to normal (T &gt; 300 ng/dL), and return BTB.

Results
307 men with a mean age of 65 ± 8 years were included. Mean duration of ADT was 17 ± 25 months, and median follow-up was 31 ± 35 months. Mean TT values were 379 ng/dL at baseline and 321 ng/dL at &gt;24 months. At 24 months after cessation of ADT, 8% of men remained at castrate level, 76% returned to TT &gt;300 ng/dL, and 51% had returned BTB. Lower baseline T levels (TT &lt; 400 ng/dL) and ADT duration &gt;6 months were associated with a lower likelihood of recovery to normal TT at 24 months. Age &gt;65 years and receiving ADT for &gt;6 months were significantly associated with a slower T recovery.

Clinical Implications
T recovery after ADT is not certain and may take longer than expected. Considering the range of side effects of low T, we believe that these findings must be discussed with patients before initiating such therapies.

Strengths & Limitations
Our strengths consisted of a relatively large database, long follow-up, and clinically meaningful endpoints. Limitations included the retrospective design of the study.

Conclusion
T recovery rates after ADT cessation vary according to patient age, ADT duration, and baseline T levels. Approximately one-quarter of patients failed to normalize their TT level, and one-tenth of men remained at castrate levels 24 months after ADT cessation.
Uncovering the structure of public procurement transactions
Authors: Popa Mircea 
Published: May 2019

AbstractClose ties between government authorities and private firms are often the object of suspicion, but a systematic understanding of when they arise is still missing. This article uses machine learning tools to analyze a large dataset of public contracts from across Europe, in order to identify the conditions under which close connections, defined both in terms of repeated interaction, as well as geographical dispersion, appear. Previous theoretical results suggest that close ties should emerge as an enforcement mechanism in settings characterized by weak outside enforcement, such as those involving corruption. Results from random forest models show support for this hypothesis, along with identifying other structural determinants of the outcome. The most striking finding is that even after accounting for numerous potential confounders, major differences in terms of average diversity levels between countries persist, and these differences map onto an indicator of governance quality and corruption, but not at all on income per capita. These findings point to the centrality of the structure of interactions between private and public actors for understanding governance outcomes.
Impact of oat processing on glycaemic and insulinaemic responses in healthy humans: a randomised clinical trial
Authors: Wolever Thomas M. S. , Johnson Jodee , Jenkins Alexandra L. , Campbell Janice C. , Ezatagha Adish , Chu YiFang 
Published: May 2019

AbstractOats can be processed in a variety of ways ranging from minimally processed such as steel-cut oats (SCO), to mildly processed such as large-flake oats (old fashioned oats, OFO), moderately processed such as instant oats (IO) or highly processed in ready-to-eat oat cereals such as Honey Nut Cheerios (HNC). Although processing is believed to increase glycaemic and insulinaemic responses, the effect of oat processing in these respects is unclear. Thus, we compared the glycaemic and insulinaemic responses elicited by 628 kJ portions of SCO, OFO, IO and HNC and a portion of Cream of Rice cereal (CR) containing the same amount of available-carbohydrate (23 g) as the oatmeals. Healthy males (n 18) and females (n 12) completed this randomised, cross-over trial. Blood was taken fasting and at intervals for 3 h following test-meal consumption. Glucose and insulin peak-rises and incremental AUC (iAUC) were subjected to repeated-measures ANOVA using Tukey’s test (two-sided P&lt;0·05) to compare individual means. Glucose peak-rise (primary endpoint, mean (sem) mmol/l) after OFO, 2·19 (sem 0·11), was significantly less than after CR, 2·61 (sem 0·13); and glucose peak-rise after SCO, 1·93 (sem 0·13), was significantly less than after CR, HNC, 2·49 (sem 0·13) and IO 2·47 (sem 0·13). Glucose iAUC was significantly lower after SCO than CR and HNC. Insulin peak rise was similar among the test meals, but insulin iAUC was significantly less after SCO than IO. Thus, the results show that oat processing affects glycaemic and insulinaemic responses with lower responses associated with less processing.
WHERE TO? FILMING EMIGRATION ANXIETY IN PREWAR LEBANESE CINEMA
Authors: Hayek Ghenwa 
Published: May 2019

AbstractI propose that careful reading of films and film coverage provides a new research avenue for scholars interested in the social and cultural history of the 1950s and the 1960s in Lebanon. Looking specifically at the manner in which George Nasser's 1957 filmIla Ayn?(Where To?) embraces and modifies the generic conventions of neorealist melodrama to articulate anxieties over the effects of emigration on Lebanon, this article explores the manner in which contemporaneous cultural critics used the film to, in turn, express their dismay at migration from Lebanon. Reading the film closely for the affects it contains and for those it produced in its readers, I argue that this technique, attendant to both sides of this dynamic, affords us new insights into the manner in which cinema produced during Lebanon's golden period interacted with and complicated the dominant cultural narratives of that era.
REMEMBERING THE PALESTINE GROUP: GLOBAL ACTIVISM, FRIENDSHIP, AND THE IRANIAN REVOLUTION
Authors: Sohrabi Naghmeh 
Published: May 2019

AbstractThe Palestine Group was a loosely connected collection of young anti-Shah activists some of whom were arrested and tried publically in 1970 for the crime of acting against the Pahlavi monarchy and Iran's national security. Their plight became global, receiving support from anticolonial figures such as Jean-Paul Sartre. But while they played an important role in inspiring the revolutionary generation, in the historiography of the 1979 revolution and that of the global south, their story has been mostly forgotten. This article argues for remembering the Palestine Group by focusing on two facets of their prerevolutionary activism: the importance of a connection to the anti-imperial/colonial struggles that spread from “Asia to Africa”; and the centrality ofmaḥfilīpolitics (friendship circles) in addition totashkīlātī(organizational) politics, which the historiography has traditionally emphasized. It demonstrates that as resistance shifted frommaḥfiltotashkīlāt,it also shifted from a global struggle where Iran was one node out of many, to a nationalized struggle.
Desiccation survival of parasitic nematodes
Authors: Perry R. N. 
Published: May 2019

SUMMARYThe ability of certain species of parasitic nematodes to survive desiccation for considerable periods is a fascinating example of adaptation to the demands of fluctuating environments that occasionally can become extreme and life threatening. Behavioural and morphological adaptations associated with desiccation survival serve primarily to reduce the rate of drying, either to prolong the time taken for the nematode's water content to reach lethal low levels or, in true anhydrobiotes, to enable the structural and biochemical changes required for long-term survival to take place. Examples of these adaptations are reviewed, together with information on the factors involved in rehydration that ensure successful exit from the dormant state. Information on desiccation survival is central to effective management and control options for parasitic nematodes. It is also required to assess the feasibility of enhancing the longevity of commercial formulations of entomopathogenic nematodes, both before and after application; current research and future prospects for enhancing survival of these bio-insecticides are discussed.

Published: May 2019

SamenvattingNaast de gangbare indicaties voor ECT op het gebied van de affectieve stoornissen, zijn ook positieve effecten van deze behandeling beschreven bij enkele neurologische ziektebeelden. De auteurs geven een overzicht van gepubliceerde onderzoeksresultaten en ziektegeschiedenissen met betrekking tot de effectiviteit van ECT bij de behandeling van motorische symptomen van Parkinson-patiënten met of zonder coëxistente depressieve stoornis. Het enige prospectieve gecontroleerde onderzoek maakt melding van een positief resultaat op de motorische symptomen dat tot zes weken na behandeling aanhoudt. Dit komt overeen met de resultaten van vrijwel alle open onderzoeken en gepubliceerde casus, waarbij verbeteringen beschreven worden, variërend van enkele weken tot vier juar. Twee open onderzoeken (één retrospectief en één prospectief) vinden geen effect op de motoriek.De aangehaalde literatuur rechtvaardigt volgens de auteurs het opzetten van groter prospectief onderzoek naar de waarde van deze behandeling voor Parkinson-patiënten, en wel met name bij die groep patiënten waarbij de medicamenteuze behandelmogelijkheden uitgeput zijn.
Heritage Foodways as Matrix for Cultural Resurgence: Evidence from Rural Peru
Authors: Matta Raúl 
Published: May 2019

Abstract:This article explores critical directions in the study of cultural heritage and, in particular, food heritage research. Its goal is to deliver insight into local perspectives produced outside mainstream heritage organizations. Strategies implemented jointly by peasant farmers of rural Peru and non-governmental organizations committed to promoting cultural resurgence show how food discloses the symbiotic relation between nature and culture in these indigenous worlds, and allows for claims grounded in social, political, and economic imaginaries. The initiatives described in this article develop within transnational networks of partners and interlocutors but outside of universalist pretensions. They constitute food heritage that differs from that of global cultural actors such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the United Nations by addressing only the needs of local communities and not complying with mechanisms that bring prestige and revenues to states and powerful cultural entrepreneurs. Globally nurtured, but locally implemented, these locally based initiatives seek out and take advantage of opportunities in strategic, proactive fashions.
Effects of disturbance and rabbit grazing on seedling recruitment of six mesic grassland species
Authors: Edwards Grant R. , Crawley Michael J. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractSeeds of two grass (Arrhenatherum elatius and Festuca rubra), two herb (Plantago lanceolata and Rumex acetosa) and two legume (Lotus corniculatus and Trifolium repens) species were sown in summer 1995 at four densities (no seed, 1000, 10 000 and 50 000 seeds m−2) into an established rabbit-grazed grassland given factorial combinations of rabbit fencing (with and without fences) and soil disturbance (with and without cultivation). On plots where no seeds were sown, only the species with persistent seed banks (P. lanceolata, L. corniculatus and T. repens) showed enhanced seedling emergence in response to disturbance. In disturbed soil, seedling densities of all species increased with increasing density of sown seeds, the effects of which were still evident for plant cover 2 years after seed sowing. In undisturbed vegetation, A. elatius, F. rubra, P. lanceolata and R. acetosa showed increased seedling densities following seed sowing; but in each case, there was an upper asymptote to seedling recruitment, presumably due to microsite limitation. Rabbit grazing reduced seedling densities, with this reduction being more pronounced with disturbance than without. However, the effect of rabbit grazing did not persist for some species; seedling mortality of R. acetosa, P. lanceolata, L. corniculatus and T. repens was higher on plots without rabbit grazing, so that plant densities of these species in summer 1996 and plant cover in summer 1997 were greater on grazed plots. The results indicate interactions between soil disturbance, propagule availability and herbivory, rather than disturbance alone, will play an important role in controlling seedling recruitment and species habitat distributions in grasslands.
The Role of Tactical Emergency Medical Support in Hostage and Crisis Negotiations
Authors: Greenstone James L. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractThe use of tactical medics by members of hostage and crisis negotiations teams has not been examined in the literature or the field. Usually, negotiations teams are deployed within the confines of the established inner perimeter along with the tactical team and tactical medics. While the likelihood of injuries or performance degrading medical problems for negotiators is less than that expected for Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team members, they may occur and need attention. Additionally, there are other roles that tactical medical personnel can play that are specific to the needs of police negotiators. This article will examine these possible roles.
The effect of immunocastration 7 weeks before slaughter on the behaviour, growth and meat quality of post-pubertal bulls

Published: May 2019

AbstractActive immunization against gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), commonly known as immunocastration, has been proposed as an alternative to traditional methods of castrating bulls. This study evaluated the effects of immunocastration on growth, behaviour and meat quality of post-pubertal bulls. Bulls were either vaccinated against GnRH (no. = 30, I) or left intact (no. = 30, B). A third treatment consisted of steers (no. = 20, S) that had been castrated pre-pubertally. The animals were run in eight single treatment groups (no. = 10 per group), three of each of В and I and two groups of S. Anti-GnRH antibodies developed and plasma testosterone concentrations declined in I following immunization. Aggressive behaviour of I declined to be lower (P < 0·5) than B and no different from S, 5 weeks after primary immunization. Seven weeks after immunocastration all animals were slaughtered. The hot carcass weight of I was between that of B and S but not significantly different from either. There were no effects of treatment on pHu or meat colour measurements. Taste panel assessment rated I higher than B, but lower than S for tenderness, juiciness and overall palatability. These results demonstrate that immunocastration of post-pubertal bulls 7 weeks before slaughter is a potential means of reducing problematic bull behaviour and improving meat quality although this is likely to be at the cost of reduced weight gain.

Published: May 2019

AbstractMeals prepared from low glucosinolate rapeseed screenings (SCREEN) and from seed which had heated during storage (HEAT) were compared against commercial rapeseed meal (COM) for feeding value. Oil, crude protein (CP) and acid-detergent insoluble nitrogen contents in SCREEN, HEAT and COM, respectively, were (g/kg): 118, 246 and 13; 227, 315 and 436; and 17, 64 and 21.in situdry matter (DM) and protein disappearance rates, soluble protein fraction and effective rumen degradability of protein (EDCP) were lower (P< 0·05) in HEAT than in SCREEN or COM. Comparing oil-extracted meals in situ, EDCP of HEAT was lower (P< 0·05) than EDCP of SCREEN or COM but protein and DM disappearance rates of HEAT were only lower (P< 0·05) than those of SCREEN. Four isonitrogenous barley-based diets (150 g/kg CP, DM basis), containing SCREEN, HEAT, COM or COM supplemented with rapeseed oil (OIL), were given to lambs. For DM, organic matter and neutral-detergent fibre apparent digestibilities, the diets ranked SCREEN > HEAT = OIL > COM (P< 0·05). Digestion and retention of nitrogen were lower (P< 0·05) in lambs given HEAT than in lambs given other diets. Food efficiency of lambs given HEAT was improved (P< 0·05) as compared with lambs given SCREEN or COM. Dressing proportions were higher (P< 0·05) with HEAT, SCREEN and OIL diets than with COM. Other than minor changes in fatty acid composition of subcutaneous fat with HEAT and OIL, carcass traits were not altered by treatment. Feeding SCREEN or HEAT did not adversely affect animal performance or food utilization.
