Altas poblaciones de mosca pinta (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) pueden reducir el rendimiento de la caña de azúcar. El objetivo de este trabajo fue cuantificar la influencia de algunos factores bióticos, abióticos y agronómicos sobre las poblaciones de adultos de mosca pinta. Se compilaron registros del número de adultos capturados por trampa, grado de infestación previa de las parcelas, número de ninfas observadas, cobertura de maleza en el interior y en el borde de las parcelas, tiempo de muestreo, aplicación de insecticidas y entomopatógenos, precipitación y temperatura. Los muestreos se realizaron en 15 parcelas del 2 de julio al 15 de octubre de 2014 en Veracruz, México. Los datos se analizaron con un modelo lineal mixto. La mayoría de los ejemplares adultos capturados (98%) fueron de Aeneolamia contigua (Walker, 1851). Los análisis indicaron los siguientes efectos significativos: se observó una relación positiva de las poblaciones de adultos con las ninfas de mosca pinta y la infestación del año previo de la parcela. Se presentó una relación directa entre la cobertura de malezas en el interior de la parcela y las poblaciones de adultos de mosca pinta. La relación de la maleza en el borde de la parcela con los adultos fue irregular y no significativa. Las poblaciones de ninfas tuvieron el efecto más claro sobre la presencia de poblaciones de adultos. La temperatura tuvo un efecto positivo significativo sobre los adultos, no así la precipitación ni el tiempo de muestreo. Se discuten los resultados en relación con aspectos de manejo preventivo de la mosca pinta.

Background and objectivesTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir) is associated with elevated concentrations of biomarkers of kidney damage and dysfunction in individuals with HIV. The relationship of these kidney biomarkers with longitudinal kidney function decline is unknown.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsWe evaluated associations of 14 urinary biomarkers of kidney injury with changes in eGFR among 198 men and women with HIV who initiated tenofovir between 2009 and 2015 in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study and Women’s Interagency HIV Study. Urinary biomarkers included albumin-to-creatinine ratio,α-1-microglobulin,β-2-microglobulin, cystatin C, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), IL-18, neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin (NGAL), clusterin, osteopontin, uromodulin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, EGF, trefoil factor 3, and chitinase 3-like protein 1. We used multivariable linear mixed-effect models controlling for demographics, traditional kidney disease risk factors, and HIV-related risk factors to evaluate associations of baseline biomarkers with first-year changes in eGFR, and associations of year 1 and first-year change in biomarkers with changes in eGFR from year 1 to year 3. We used the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method to identify a parsimonious set of biomarkers jointly associated with changes in eGFR.ResultsMedian eGFR before tenofovir initiation was 103 (interquartile range, 88–116) ml/min per 1.73 m2. During the first year of tenofovir use, eGFR decreased on average by 9.2 (95% confidence interval, 6.5 to 11.9) ml/min per 1.73 m2and was stable afterward (decrease of 0.62; 95% confidence interval, −0.85 to 2.1 ml/min per 1.73 m2per year). After multivariable adjustment, higher baselineβ-2-microglobulin, KIM-1, and clusterin were associated with larger first-year eGFR declines, whereas higher baseline uromodulin was associated with a smaller eGFR decline. First-year increase in urinary cystatin C and higher year 1 IL-18 were associated with larger annual eGFR declines from year 1 to year 3. The parsimonious models identified higher pre-tenofovir clusterin and KIM-1, lower pre-tenofovir uromodulin, and higher year 1 IL-18 as jointly associated with larger eGFR declines.ConclusionsUrinary biomarkers of kidney injury measured before and after tenofovir initiation are associated with subsequent changes in eGFR in individuals with HIV.PodcastThis article contains a podcast at https://www.asn-online.org/media/podcast/CJASN/2018_08_28_CJASNPodcast_18_9_S.mp3
When American Exceptionalism Isn’t Exceptional: Consumer Arbitration in the United States
Authors: Steiner Mark E. 
Published: August 2018

The United States takes a unique position in allowing binding pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer contracts. This article uses the failure to regulate or prohibit the use of pre-dispute arbitration provisions in nursing home agreements as a means of understanding the current state of pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer contracts in the United States. State laws or judicial rules that regulate arbitration clauses in nursing home contracts are routinely blocked by federal courts. Efforts in the U.S. Congress to prohibit such clauses in nursing home contracts have been unsuccessful.
Approach to the Amendment Process of the Procedural Penal Codes in Latin America
Authors: Torres López Hardy 
Published: August 2018

The current article aims to provide the reader with a close view of the genesis of the movement and later the development of the Amendment Process of the Procedural Penal Codes that took place in Latin America at the end of the XX century and at the beginning of the XXI century, trying to focus in the common aspects that such a change had for the region and the challenges that the different Latin American countries had to face at the moment in which they had to implement a new Procedural Penal Code; as will be shown, those challenges were approached by all these states from diverse perspectives and not in a uniform way. At the conclusion of this article, a prognosis will be given regarding the road to be followed to solve some critical loopholes that still persevere.
Clashes of Opinion at the Time of Drafting the Satversme of the Republic of Latvia
Authors: Lazdiņš Jānis 
Published: August 2018

The article is dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the Satversme of the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter – the Satversme or basic law), adopted on 15 February 1922. According to constant jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia and Latvian legal doctrine, the Satversme must be interpreted as a basic law void of internal contradictions or as “a coherent whole”. This does not apply to the procedure of drafting and adopting the Satversme. Adoption of a number of Articles caused noteworthy debates and clashes of opposite opinions at the Constitutional Assembly (Satversmes Sapulce). In particular, these were Articles on the procedure for electing the President, guarantees for independence of the judicial power, as well as the freedom to strike. This research focuses upon analysis of these issues.
Expropriation of Property for Public Purposes: Common Interests of the Public and Protection of Owner’s Rights
Authors: Balodis Kaspars 
Published: August 2018

The right to property is an economic right of the most extensive scope. It is protected not only by the Civil Law, but also the Satversme [Constitution] of the Republic of Latvia. Expropriation of property to ensure public needs is admissible, if the owner is compensated for the decrease of assets linked to the loss of property. Legal problems related to protection of the owner’s rights in the expropriation of immovable property have been repeatedly dealt with in the judicature of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia. The legislator, in turn, has amended legal regulation to improve protection of the owner’s rights. This article assesses the way in which in Latvia, upon expropriating immovable property for public needs, balance between public interests and the owner’s rights is ensured. The article advances a thesis that the primary type of fair compensation is money and not other kind of compensation.
Problems of Classifying an Aggregation of Criminal Offences
Authors: Liholaja Valentija , Hamkova Diāna 
Published: August 2018

This article analyses an aggregation of criminal offences as one of types of multiplicity of criminal offences and the problems of its qualification. The issue is topical from both theoretical and practical point of view, since the process of applying legal norms is often associated with difficulties in determining whether a separate (unitary) criminal offence has been committed, or a multiplicity of criminal offences is to be established; errors are made in distinguishing a factual aggregation of criminal offences from the legal institute, such as collision of legal norms. By emphasising different elements of the said legal institutes, recommendations correspondent to practice needs, which are based on the legal framework, conclusions of the theory of criminal law and of case-law, as well as analysis of practice are offered. Particular attention is paid to compound criminal offences, the structure of which includes serious consequences, reference to the application of violence or inflicted bodily injuries, and in the process of qualification of which one has to encounter the formation of a conceptual aggregation, which is related to serious problems in practice. Likewise, the authors establish that the legislator, in designing the norms of the Special Part of the Criminal Law, has failed to observe all the conditions of development thereof. Thus, a conceptual aggregation of criminal offences, which, in our opinion, should be an exception in cases of compound criminal offences, becomes a regularity authorised by the legislator. Likewise, the article provides a reasoned opinion on the qualification solution in the event if one criminal offence is a way (tool, method) by which another criminal offence is committed, as well as on the formation of an aggregation of criminal offence stipulated by CL Sections 177 and 178 implemented in practice, thus violating provisions of collision of general and special norms included in CL Section 26 Paragraph five.

Significance of Principles of Penal Law in Administrative Law
Authors: Danovskis Edvīns 
Published: August 2018

The article examines legal regulation of sanctions imposed by public administration, and argues that all the sanctions imposed by institutions of public administration, at least in legal doctrine, should be considered as being a discrete sub-branch of administrative law, in the legal regulation of which and in application of sanctions the principles of substantial and procedural law that are common with penal law should be complied with. A separate section of the article is dedicated to one of these principles – institution of limitation.
The Value of a Rapid Access Internal Medicine Clinic – An Observational Perspective
Authors: LeBlanc Ryan Joseph , Jongewaard Karmen , Farrell Laura 
Published: August 2018

Background: Rapid access Internal Medicine (IM) clinics aim to reduce burden on inpatient services. Despite an increased prevalence of these clinics across Canada, there is a lack of evidence demonstrating their value.Methods: An observational retrospective review was undertaken to identify the usage of our IM clinic. A prospective analysis of Internal Medicine Clinical Teaching Unit (CTU) diverted admissions and a subsequent cost benefit analysis was performed.Results: Referrals were primarily from emergency room physicians (47%) and general practitioners (34%). Of the requests for admission over a 4 week period, 6.1% were diverted with clinic follow-up within four days. Over $30,000 of inpatient care costs were prevented over the study period.Conclusion: Rapid access IM clinics help reduce demand on emergency departments and inpatient services. A significant percentage of hospital admissions may be avoided by implementing rapid access clinics. Further study is needed to better quantify the overall benefit.
Proton Pump Inhibition in the Management of Hypokalemia in Anorexia Nervosa with Self-Induced Vomiting
Authors: Wainwright Natalie Jane , Azim Arden , Neary John David 
Published: August 2018

Hypokalaemia is a dangerous complication in severe cases of eating disorders with self-induced vomiting and can result in rhabdomyolysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and death. Self-induced vomiting leads to hypokalaemia through two pathways. First, loss of gastric acid causes hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis, which increases filtered bicarbonate load in the nephron (exceeding the tubular resorptive threshold), and subsequently increases distal sodium bicarbonate delivery. Secondly, hypovolaemia causes activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. Increased distal sodium delivery and mineralocorticoid activity together cause urinary potassium wasting. Standard management of severe hypokalaemia in patients with anorexia or bulimia nervosa and persistent self-induced vomiting includes intravenous replacement of potassium and correction of hypovolaemia. However, hypokalaemia is often refractory in eating disorder outpatients who have ongoing self-induced vomiting after discharge. We present a case of hypokalaemia due to anorexia nervosa, binge-purge subtype with self-induced vomiting successfully treated with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in addition to standard therapy.

Published: August 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare surface and cross-sectional structure as well as localized electrochemical corrosion and ion release for cast stainless steel (SS) tibia plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plates retrieved from dogs with and without osteosarcoma (OSA) and to compare these findings with similar variables for forged SS TPLO plates retrieved from dogs.
SAMPLE 47 TPLO plates explanted from 45 client-owned dogs (22 cast plates from dogs with OSA, 22 cast plates from dogs without OSA, and 3 forged plates from dogs without OSA).
PROCEDURES Histologic evaluations of tissue samples collected from implant sites at the time of plate retrieval were performed to confirm implant site tumor status of each dog. Surfaces and metallographic cross sections of retrieved plates were examined, and the microcell technique was used to obtain local electrochemical corrosion and ion release measurements.
RESULTS Findings indicated that all cast SS plates demonstrated high spatial variability of their electrochemical surface properties and inhomogeneous superficial and cross-sectional composition, compared with forged plates. Greater metal ion release was observed in cast plates than in forged plates and in cast plates from dogs with OSA than in cast or forged from dogs without OSA.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that accumulation of metal ions from implants could be a trigger for neoplastic transformation in neighboring cells. Metal ion release caused by corrosion of implants that do not comply with recommended standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials International or the International Organization for Standardization could potentially place patients at increased risk of tumor development.
Feasibility of near-infrared fluorescence imaging for sentinel lymph node evaluation of the oral cavity in healthy dogs
Authors: Townsend Katy L. , Milovancev Milan , Bracha Shay 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of injection of indocyanine green (ICG) solution with near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging for transcutaneous detection of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and their associated lymphatic vessels in the oral mucosa of healthy dogs.
ANIMALS 6 adult purpose-bred research hounds.
PROCEDURES Each dog was sedated, and 1 mL of ICG solution was injected into the gingival mucosa dorsal to the right maxillary canine tooth. Subsequently, NIR fluorescence imaging was used to transcutaneously detect the lymphatic vessels and SLNs. The distance between the injection site and each SLN was measured. Time to first evidence of node fluorescence was recorded, and velocity of ICG movement was calculated. A slide preparation of a fine-needle aspiration sample of the fluorescing structure underwent cytologic examination (to confirm presence of lymphatic tissue) and NIR fluorescence imaging (to confirm presence of ICG).
RESULTS The ipsilateral mandibular lymphocentrum was the SLN in all dogs. The time to visually detectable fluorescence ranged from 4 to 15 minutes (mean ± SD, 8.8 ± 3.76 minutes). The mean velocity was 1.94 ± 0.93 cm/min. Fluorescence was not observed in the contralateral lymph nodes. Each fluorescing structure was confirmed to be lymphatic tissue, and NIR fluorescence imaging revealed that ICG was present in the sampled SLN.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that injection of ICG solution with NIR fluorescence imaging can be used to transcutaneously identify SLNs along with associated lymphatic vessels in the oral mucosa of healthy dogs. Time from injection to identification of fluorescence was rapid with prolonged retention of material within the SLN, indicating that this procedure could be performed during surgery.
Hispanismo y coleccionismo artístico en Uruguay (1910-1940). Las pinacotecas de Félix Ortiz de Taranco y Fernando García Casalia
Authors: Porley Carolina 
Published: August 2018

Se aborda el surgimiento de dos importantes pinacotecas de arte español reunidas en Montevideo por los empresarios y coleccionistasFélix Ortiz de Taranco (1866-1940) y Fernando García Casalia (1887-1945), las cuales fueron cedidas al Estado en la década de 1940 y hoy forman parte del patrimonio artístico público. Se desarrollan los elementos que intervinieron en la formación de dichos conjuntos: el impacto del Hispanismo como corriente cultural sobre el consumo artístico del período y la relación entre el mercado del arte y el ascenso económico y social de inmigrantes de origen peninsular. A partir de fondos documentales hasta ahora no utilizados por el investigador, se estudian ambas pinacotecas privadas, marcando similitudes y diferencias en los modelo de consumo cultural de sus propietarios, y analizando algunas obras emblemáticas de las mismas.
