Linguistic mudes: how to become a new speaker in Catalonia
Authors: Pujolar Joan , Puigdevall Maite 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
New speakers of Catalan have come to represent, from a demolinguistic perspective, a substantial part of the community of speakers. Of those who presently speak Catalan as an “habitual language”, 41.6 percent are native speakers of Spanish. In this article, we shall follow up the various ways in which native Castilian speakers incorporate Catalan into their lives. This happens, as we will show, in specific biographical junctures that we call mudes, a Catalan term referring to (often reversible) variations in social performance. Our analysis is based on a qualitative study that included 24 interviews and 15 focus groups covering a total of 105 people of different sexes and linguistic, educational, social and residential backgrounds. We shall give a general overview of these mudes as we typified them: when subjects entered primary school, secondary school, the university, the job market, when creating a new family and when they had children (if they did). The study of linguistic mudes provides, in our view, a new and productive perspective on how people develop their linguistic repertoire, their attachment to specific languages and the significance of these aspects for social identity. It facilitates a processual, time-sensitive analysis that allows to contextualise and critique ethnonationalist discourses that have often saturated our understanding of language use.

Abstract

Background and aims
Preclinical studies have reported that activation of peripheral γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptors may result in analgesia. The current study was conducted in young healthy men (n = 30) and women (n = 28) to determine whether injections of GABA into the masseter muscle reduce pain in a sex-related manner.

Methods
The effect of injection of GABA alone, or in combination with the non-inflammatory algogen glutamate, was assessed in two separate studies. Lorazepam, a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA-receptor, was co-injected with GABA in both studies to explore the role of this receptor in muscle pain responses of healthy human volunteers. Masticatory muscle mechanical pain intensity was recorded on an electronic visual analogue scale (VAS) while muscle pain sensitivity was assessed by determining the pressure pain threshold (PPT), tolerance and maximal jaw opening (MJO) of the subjects prior to, and again after the various intramuscular injections.

Results
Intramuscular injection of GABA alone was reported to be significantly more painful, in a concentration related manner, than saline control injections, and this pain was further increased by co-injection of lorazepam with GABA. Co-injection of GABA with glutamate was found to significantly increase glutamate-evoked masseter muscle pain in men, but not in women. There was no effect of injections of either GABA alone, or GABA with glutamate, on PPT, tolerance or maximum jaw opening.

Conclusions
Injection of GABA into the human masseter muscle appears to excite nociceptors to produce muscle pain without a longer term effect on mechanical pain sensitivity in the muscle. The findings suggest that GABA-mediated pain in humans is produced through peripheral GABAA receptor activation. The mechanism underlying the sex-related difference in the effect of GABA on glutamate-evoked muscle pain was speculated to be due to a methodological artifact.

Implications
This study was designed to detect analgesic rather than algesic effects of peripherally administered GABA, and as a result, the concentration of glutamate chosen for injection was close to the maximal pain response for healthy women, based on previously determined pain-concentration response relationships for glutamate. This may explain the finding of greater pain in men than women, when GABA and glutamate were co-injected. Overall, the findings suggest that activation of peripheral GABAA receptors in human masticatory muscle produces pain, possibly due to depolarization of the masticatory muscle afferent fibers.

Published: August 2019

OBJECTIVES:
To determine the association between parenteral antibiotic duration and outcomes in infants ≤60 days old with bacteremic urinary tract infection (UTI).

METHODS:
This multicenter retrospective cohort study included infants ≤60 days old who had concomitant growth of a pathogen in blood and urine cultures at 11 children’s hospitals between 2011 and 2016. Short-course parenteral antibiotic duration was defined as ≤7 days, and long-course parenteral antibiotic duration was defined as &gt;7 days. Propensity scores, calculated using patient characteristics, were used to determine the likelihood of receiving long-course parenteral antibiotics. We conducted inverse probability weighting to achieve covariate balance and applied marginal structural models to the weighted population to examine the association between parenteral antibiotic duration and outcomes (30-day UTI recurrence, 30-day all-cause reutilization, and length of stay).

RESULTS:
Among 115 infants with bacteremic UTI, 58 (50%) infants received short-course parenteral antibiotics. Infants who received long-course parenteral antibiotics were more likely to be ill appearing and have growth of a non–Escherichia coli organism. There was no difference in adjusted 30-day UTI recurrence between the long- and short-course groups (adjusted risk difference: 3%; 95% confidence interval: −5.8 to 12.7) or 30-day all-cause reutilization (risk difference: 3%; 95% confidence interval: −14.5 to 20.6).

CONCLUSIONS:
Young infants with bacteremic UTI who received ≤7 days of parenteral antibiotics did not have more frequent recurrent UTIs or hospital reutilization compared with infants who received long-course therapy. Short-course parenteral therapy with early conversion to oral antibiotics may be considered in this population.
Moulds for large daggers. Unique finds from the Bronze Age Hatvan-Strázsa-hegy tell
Authors: Tarbay János Gábor 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The present study discusses five Bronze Age sandstone casting moulds from the Hatvan-Strázsa-hegy tell (Hungary, Heves County), which have been acquired by the Ministry of Defence Institute and Museum of Military History in the 1990s. One of the moulds is a semi-finished product, showing a negative of a dagger hilt pommel. The other four moulds were suitable to cast large triangular-shaped dagger blades and they can be arranged into two pairs, based on their dimensions and the outlines of their negatives. According to macroscopic observations, these finds have been used for a period of time, proving that advanced metallurgy was present on the Strázsa-hegy site during the Rei. Br. A. Besides they provide a chance for an evaluation of these significant objects that do not abound in parallels. The main goal of this paper is to discuss and reconstruct the life-cycle of daggers, based on macroscopic data obtained from the moulds and their parallel finds.

Authors: Sidky Gihan 
Published: August 2019

This study aimed at enhancing students’ essay writing skills at the secondary stage through scaffolding techniques in a workshop forum. The participants of the study were 40 students at the first secondary stage in a governmental language school. Qualitative methods were used in data analysis; a sample of students’ writings was analyzed in light of the academic writing assessment criteria (Rose et al. 2008). A pre-posttest was administered to highlight progress in students’ writing in the three genres. Scaffolding techniques proved to be effective in improving students’ writing skills, specifically in the selected writing genres the study focused on which was evident in their second and third drafts. Interviews with high school teachers of English emphasized students need for innovative scaffolding techniques to help them develop as efficient writers. The workshop forum encouraged students to work together as one team and to express their ideas fluently to excel in their writing assignments. Having an authentic reason for writing motivated them to do research and to refine their writing to be good enough to share with others.

Abstract
Background Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the primary treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa) even though there is no evidence that its use is beneficial in the absence of curative treatment.Material and methods Finnish Cancer Registry data were utilized in this population-based study. Men aged > 70 years ( n =16534) diagnosed with localized PCa from 1985–2014, and treated either by primary observation or ADT in the absence of curative treatment, were included. The relative risk (RR) of PCa-specific mortality (PCSM) and other cause-specific mortality was determined. A life table for cause-specific survival (CSS) (i.e., PCa) and other-cause survival was created. Two age groups (70–79 years and > 80 years) and three time-based cohorts (1985–1994, 1995–2004, and 2005–2014) were compared following propensity score matching with four covariates (age, year of diagnosis, socioeconomic status, and hospital district). Follow-ups continued until death or 31 December 2015.Results PCSM risk was higher in men aged 70–79 years undergoing primary ADT compared to those managed with observation only (RR of 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29–2.23 [1985–1994]; RR of 1.55, 95% CI: 1.35–1.84 [1995–2004]; and RR of 2.71, 95% CI: 2.08–3.53 [2005–2014]). Similar risk was observed in men aged > 80 years in two latest groups. Men in their 70s undergoing observation also had better propensity score-matched 10-year CSS than those undergoing ADT.Conclusion Conservative management is a valid option for patients with localized PCa in whom curative treatment is not possible.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Objective

The aim of our study was to analyze surgical treatment and expectant treatment of tubal heterotopic pregnancy (HP) with viable intrauterine pregnancy (IUP).

Study Design

This was a retrospective analysis of 65 tubal HP with viable IUP patients. Patients were divided into surgical treatment group or expectant treatment group. Main outcome measures were abortion rate, rescue treatment rate, complication rate and ectopic pregnancy (EP) rupture rate.

Results

The abortion rate, rescue treatment rate and complication rate in the expectant treatment group were 8.69% (2/23), 30.43% (7/23) and 0.00%, compared to 16.67% (7/42), 0.00% and 2.38% (1/42), respectively, in the surgical treatment group. Five patients in the expectant treatment group suffered tubal EP rupture. Subgroup analysis of the expectant treatment group revealed that the rescue treatment rate in patients with an EP mass enlargement ≥50% was 80% (4/5), which was significantly higher than that in patients with an EP mass enlargement <50% (6.25%, 1/16, P =0.028). In the surgical treatment group, lower abortion rates were demonstrated in the laparotomy subgroup, salpingectomy subgroup and ≥49 days gestational age subgroup, with abortion rates of 0.00%, 12.12% (4/33) and 6.25% (1/16), respectively.

Conclusions

Both surgical and expectant treatments are optional treatment modalities for tubal HP with viable IUP. The abortion rate was low in the expectant treatment patients. EP mass enlargement ≥50% can be a predictor of rescue treatment in expectant treatment patients. Laparotomy surgery and salpingectomy would be more preferable in surgical treatment patients.

Authors: Ranatunga Jayani Chalindra , Jayaratne Kapila 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Unplanned pregnancy is a significant public health issue in both low- and high-income countries. The burden of unplanned pregnancy is reflected in women opting for pregnancy terminations in spite of the presence of well-established family planning services. Solid data on the proportion of unplanned pregnancies are using more specific tools such as the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy (LMUP) needed to address the issue in Sri Lankan contexts. The objective was to describe the proportion of unplanned pregnancies, their determinants and the health outcomes of women delivering at Colombo North Teaching Hospital-Ragama (CNTH).

Methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 494 consecutive pregnant women selected by non-probability consecutive sampling who were admitted for the confinement at CNTH. A pre-tested structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on antenatal women and intentionality measured by self-administered six-item LMUP. Maternal and newborn health outcomes were ascertained in each post-partum women before discharge. Data were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests and spearman rank correlation. We also evaluated the psychometric properties of the Sinhalese version of LMUP.

Results
The response rate was 97.8% and 17.2% of pregnancies ending at birth were unplanned, 12.7% were ambivalent and 70.1% were planned.
Associated factor profile of women with unplanned pregnancies includes; not married women (p=0.001) educated up to the passing of GCE ordinary level by women (p<0.001) and spouse (p<0.001), primiparity (p=0.002) and inadequate knowledge on emergency contraceptives (p=0.037). Less planned pregnancies were also significantly associated with anemia (p=0.004), low mood for last two weeks (p<0.001), having a partner with problematic alcohol consumption (p<0.001), presence of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) (p<0.001), poor relationship satisfaction with partner (p<0.001). Inadequate pre-pregnancy preparation and antenatal care were associated with an unplanned pregnancy. No differences were found in neonatal outcomes. Sinhalese version of the LMUP scale was found to be accepted, valid and reliable with the Cronbach's alpha of 0.936.

Conclusions
A sizeable proportion of pregnancies were unplanned. Teenage pregnancies, non-marital relationships and inadequate knowledge on emergency contraceptives, maternal anemia, low mood, and GBV were modifiable associated factors which could be prevented by evidence-based locally applicable approaches.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background: General practitioners (GPs) often manage individuals with work-related common mental disorders (CMD: depressive disorders, anxiety and alcohol abuse). However, little is known about the management characteristics. The aim of this study is to analyze GPs’ management and patterns of referral to other health professionals of patient with work-related CMD and associated factors.
Method: We used data from a cross-sectional study of 2 027 working patients of 121 GPs in the Nord – Pas-de-Calais region in France (April – August 2014). Statistical analyses focused on patients with work-related CMD detected by the GP. Descriptive analyses were used to characterize GPs’ management of the patients’ symptoms. Associations between patient, work, GP and contextual characteristics and GPs’ management were explored using modified Poisson regression models with robust variance.
Results: Among the 533 patients with work-related CMD in the study, the GPs provided psychosocial support to 88.0%, 82.4% were prescribed psychotropic treatment and 50.7% were on sick leave. Referral rates to mental health specialists and occupational physicians were respectively 39.8% and 26.1%. Several factors including patients’ characteristics (occupational and sociodemographic), GPs’ characteristics and environmental data were associated with the different type of management used by the GP.
Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the major and often lonesome role of the GP in the management of patients with work-related CMDs. Better know the way GP manage those patient could help GP in their practice, improve patients care and be a starting point to implement a more collaborative care approach.
