Pathologisches Horten
Authors: Barocka A. 
Published: September 2018

ZusammenfassungDas pathologische Horten (DSM-5 300.3) scheint mit ca. 2% Punktprävalenz eine häufige Störung zu sein, die aber bei Psychiatern und Psychotherapeuten Zurückhaltung auslöst. Für Betroffene ist es schwer, eine angemessene Therapie zu bekommen. Das hat mehrere Gründe: Die diagnostische Einordnung ist umstritten. Ist es eine Form der Zwangsstörung? Gesichert ist die Tatsache, dass die klassische kognitive Verhaltenstherapie bei Zwangsstörung gut, beim pathologischen Horten kaum hilft. Andere Syndrome wie ADHS, bipolare Störung, soziale Phobie und Depression spielen komorbid oder als Teil des Syndroms mit hinein. Die Störung wird teilweise ich-synton präsentiert. Mit anderen Worten: die Therapie ist schwierig. Während sich die Fachleute zurückhalten, sind Ratgeberbücher, Fernsehen und Selbsthilfegruppen hoch interessiert am „Messie-Syndrom“, einer im Grunde diskriminierenden Bezeichnung für das Pathologische Horten. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt sich die Aufgabe, Therapieprinzipien bekannt zu machen, die sich in Studien als wirksam erwiesen haben. Eine auf das Störungsbild des Pathologischen Hortens ausgerichtete Therapie kann nicht in allen Fällen zur Vollremission führen, bietet aber gute Chancen für eine symptomatische Verbesserung in vielen Fällen und die Wiederherstellung der Funktionalität in einem Teil der Fälle.

Authors: Paucke M. , Strauß M. 
Published: September 2018

ZusammenfassungBei bis zu 70% der adulten Patienten mit Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) besteht gleichzeitig eine komorbide psychiatrische Störung. Eine differenzielle diagnostische Abgrenzung, nicht nur der Kernsymptome (Aufmerksamkeitsstörung, Hyperaktivität und Impulsivität), sondern auch anderer ADHS-typischer Symptome (wie emotionale Dysregulation, Desorganisation und Schlafstörungen) ist für eine effektive Behandlung notwendig. Die folgende Arbeit soll einen Überblick über die diagnostische Abgrenzung zu anderen psychiatrischen Störungen geben. Außerdem werden therapeutische Optionen (Hierarchisierung der Behandlungsfolge oder Kombinationsbehandlung) bei komorbiden affektiven Störungen erläutert.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a three-dimensional (3D) printed model for open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). This study retrospectively evaluated 20 patients with medial knee osteoarthritis and varus deformity. Between October 2015 and July 2016, the patients underwent open-wedge HTO using a 3D printed model. The mean age of patients was 55.2 years (range, 51–60 years). The mean preoperative mechanical femorotibial angle (mFTA) was varus 7.8 degrees (range, varus 4.7–11.6 degrees). After measuring the target angle using full-length lower limb weight-bearing radiography, the osteotomy was simulated using 3D images obtained from computed tomography (CT) with the 3D Slicer program. On the basis of the simulated osteotomy section and the target angle, the model was then designed and printed. Open-wedge HTO was then performed by applying the 3D printed model to the opening gap. The accuracy of osteotomy and the change in posterior tibial slope (PTS) angle were evaluated. The weight-bearing line on the tibial plateau was corrected from a preoperative mean of 19.5 ± 9.8% to a postoperative mean of 63.1 ± 6.1% (p < 0.001). The postoperative values were not statistically significantly different from the preoperative target points (p = 0.688). The mFTA was corrected to a postoperative mean of valgus 3.8 ± 1.4 degrees. The PTS angle showed no significant change (p = 0.256). A 3D printed model using CT may be useful for preoperative planning of open-wedge HTO. Satisfactory correction can be obtained without a change in the PTS.

Published: September 2018

AbstractMucormycosis is a rare fungal infection often seen in immunocompromised hosts. Isolated renal mucormycosis may however present in immunocompetent children as renal failure and has a uniformly poor prognosis if not detected and treated early into the course of illness. We present a 3-year-old boy with unrelenting pyelonephritis in whom serial urine cultures done were negative. A final diagnosis of isolated renal mucormycosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging and renal biopsy.

Published: September 2018

Abstract:
We report a case of a 65-year-old man who developed an asymptomatic bluish spot that affected the flank and left lumbar region with the onset 10 years prior. He had a history of diffuse systemic sclerosis with anti-Scl-70–positive antibodies. The appearance of the skin lesion coincided with the onset of his disease. The skin biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis of acquired dermal melanocytosis. The relationship between the appearance of acquired pigmented macules and spots and systemic sclerosis has been known for years, although it is an infrequent finding.
Lateral Node Dissection in Rectal Cancer in the Era of Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Step-by-Step Description for the Surgeon Unacquainted with This Complex Procedure with the Use of the Laparoscopic Approach

Published: September 2018

INTRODUCTION:
Lateral node dissection in rectal cancer has been routinely performed in Eastern countries. Technical and anatomical challenges and potential significant postoperative morbidity associated with the procedure have prevented its implementation into clinical practice in Western countries. However, the minimally invasive approach may offer the opportunity of performing this complex procedure with precise anatomical dissection and minimal intraoperative blood loss. In this setting, proper training and standardization of technical steps is highly warranted for surgeons not fully acquainted with the procedure.

TECHNIQUE:
Access to the lateral nodes along the obturator and internal iliac vessels is described by using specific anatomical landmarks. Opening of the peritoneum along the ureter provides access to the region of interest. Dissection of the medial limit is performed preserving the neurovascular bundle and ureter. The lateral dissection is performed along the external iliac vein to provide access to the obturator muscle. Identification of the obturator nerve with blunt dissection of the fat is a critical part of the procedure. Once the lymphatic connections between the inguinal and iliac nodes are transected, dissection is performed along the internal iliac vessels, and branches are separated from the lymphadenectomy specimen.

RESULTS:
Evidence supports that lateral node dissection performed for highly selected patients with minimally invasive access leads to less intraoperative blood loss and similar oncological outcomes. Technical steps illustrated in the present video may aid surgeons in performing this procedure with precise anatomical landmarks and minimal risk for intraoperative complications.

CONCLUSIONS:
Lateral node dissection for rectal cancer is a procedure that may follow standardized technical steps by using precise anatomical landmarks with the use of minimally invasive approach.

Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND:
Excessive perioperative fluid administration likely increases postoperative cardiovascular, infectious, and GI complications. Early administration of diuretics after elective surgery facilitates rapid mobilization of excess fluid, potentially leading to decreased bowel edema, more rapid return of bowel function, and reduced length of hospital stay.

OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to evaluate the benefit of early diuresis after elective colon and rectal surgery in the setting of an enhanced recovery after surgery practice.

DESIGN:
This was a prospective study.

SETTINGS:
The study was conducted at a quaternary referral center.

PATIENTS:
A randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial was conducted in patients undergoing elective colon and rectal surgery at a single quaternary referral center.

INTERVENTION:
The primary intervention was administration of intravenous furosemide plus enhanced recovery after surgery on postoperative day 1 and 2 versus enhanced recovery after surgery alone.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
The primary outcome was length of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes included 30-day readmission rate, time to stool output during hospitalization after surgery, and incidence of various complications within the first 48 hours of hospital stay.

RESULTS:
In total, 123 patients were randomly assigned to receive either furosemide plus enhanced recovery after surgery (n = 62) or enhanced recovery after surgery alone (n = 61). Groups were evenly matched at baseline. At interim analysis, length of hospital stay was not superior in the intervention group (80.6 vs 99.6 hours, p = 0.564). No significant difference was identified in the rates of nasogastric tube replacement (1.6% vs 9.7%, p = 0.125). Time to return of bowel function was significantly longer in the intervention group (45.4 vs 48.8 hours, p = 0.048). The decision was made to end the study early because the conditional power of the study favored futility.

LIMITATIONS:
This was a single-center study.

CONCLUSIONS:
Early administration of furosemide does not significantly reduce the length of hospital stay after elective colon and rectal surgery in the setting of enhanced recovery after surgery practice. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A714.

Published: September 2018

Objectives
Severe acute pancreatitis is a highly lethal disease caused by systemic inflammatory response syndrome, leading to multiple organ failure. We recently showed that histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) supplemental therapy ameliorated septic acute respiratory distress syndrome due to unnecessary neutrophil activation and immunothrombosis formation. Here, we evaluated the effect of HRG on lung inflammation followed by pancreatitis in a severe acute pancreatitis mouse model.

Methods
Mice received intraperitoneal injections of cerulein 7 times (100 μg/kg each) at 1-hour intervals to induce acute pancreatitis. Immediately after the first cerulein injection, phosphate-buffered saline, human serum albumin (20 mg/kg), or HRG (20 mg/kg) was intravenously injected. One hour after the last cerulein injection, phosphate-buffered saline or lipopolysaccharide (5 mg/kg) was intravenously injected into the tail vein. We evaluated lung inflammatory level after pancreatitis.

Results
We observed significantly decreased plasma HRG levels in an acute pancreatitis mouse model. Histidine-rich glycoprotein treatment inhibited lung edema and the accumulation of neutrophil in severe acute pancreatitis, but HRG did not directly affect pancreatitis. Moreover, HRG suppressed tumor necrosis factor α, inducible nitric oxide synthase, interleukin 6, and neutrophil elastase mRNA expression and myeloperoxidase activity in the lung.

Conclusions
These data suggested that HRG ameliorated lung inflammation secondary to pancreatitis.
Reversing Time Averaging and Reconstructing Extinction Rates with Approaches from Image Processing
Authors: Hohmann Niklas 
Published: September 2018

AbstractIn this paper, the relation between the extinction rate and the rate of last fossil occurrences as well as the relation between the fossil occurrence rate and the time averaged fossil occurrence rate is examined. Both relations are described by the same mathematical operation. This operation is commonly used in image processing, where it generates a blurring effect. Therefore the rate of last fossil occurrences can be taken as a blurred version of the extinction rate, and the time averaged fossil occurrence rate as a blurred version of the fossil occurrence rate. This connection has different applications. It allows to study the patterns different types of time averaging generate or the patterns of last fossil occurrences generated by different extinction rates. More importantly, it opens the possibility to use algorithms from image processing that reverse blurring effects for geological applications. This can be used to reverse the effects of time averaging or to reconstruct extinction rates from the rate of last fossil occurrences.

Hazard assessment of drought disaster using a grey projection incidence model for the heterogeneous panel data
Authors: Luo Dang , Ye Lili , Zhai Yanli , Zhu Hanyu , Qian Qicun 
Published: September 2018

Purpose
Hazard assessment on drought disaster is of great significance for improving drought risk management. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of the drought disaster, the index values have some grey multi-source heterogeneous characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to construct a grey projection incidence model (GPIM) to evaluate the hazard of the drought disaster characterised by the grey heterogeneity information.

Design/methodology/approach
First, the index system of the drought hazard risk is established based on the formation mechanism of the drought disaster. Then, the GPIM for the heterogeneous panel data is constructed to assess drought hazard of five cities in Henan Province. Subsequently, based on the assessment results, the grey clustering model is employed for the regional division.

Findings
The findings demonstrate that five cities in central Henan Province are divided into three categories, which correspond to three different risk grades, respectively. With respect to different drought risk areas, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed.

Practical implications
This paper provides a practical and effective new method for the hazard assessment on drought disaster. Meanwhile, these countermeasures and suggestions can help policy makers to improve the efficiency of drought resistance work and reduce the losses caused by drought disasters in Henan Province.

Originality/value
This paper proposes a new GPIM which resolves the assessment problems of the uncertain systems with grey heterogeneous information, such as real numbers, interval grey numbers and three-parameter interval grey numbers. It not only expands the application scope of the grey incidence model, but also enriches the research of panel data.
Big Data, digital demand and decision-making
Authors: Green Steve , McKinney Jr Earl , Heppard Kurt , Garcia Luis 
Published: September 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss the viewpoint that Big Data’s major impacts on the accounting community will be changes in consumers’ demand of accounting data and its impact on decision-making. Big Data is leading consumers to prefer more atomized (not summarized but rather reduced to discrete units), reconfigurable and transparent accounting data that they can combine into their own structures to meet their own decision-making needs. Consequently, consumers will demand digital goods that are less static, and summarized.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper discusses the strategic shift to what is referred to as “indirect data,” and develops a model that helps explain “how” and “why” Big Data may impact this change in consumer digital demand.

Findings
There are many evolving Big Data opportunities associated with the shift in consumer demand for more atomized, reconfigurable and transparent accounting data that are discussed in this paper, including strategic capability, auditing, performance measurement and reporting, standardization and education.

Originality/value
This paper provides a discussion of the evolving opportunities of the relationship that is created by a strategic shift in the type of digital goods consumers of information, specifically decision-makers, will demand, as well as the potential impacts on the accounting community.
Corporate governance, accounting information environment and investment-cash flow sensitivity
Authors: Li Ming , Song Liang 
Published: September 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to test the effects of antitakeover protection on investment-cash flow sensitivity and whether these effects are moderated by firms’ accounting information environment and agency problems.

Design/methodology/approach
To test the effects of agency problems, the authors use the passage of second-generation antitakeover laws as the testing ground, which is a pseudo-natural experiment that is widely used in the accounting, finance and economics literature (e.g. Armstrong et al., 2012; Bertrand and Mullainathan, 2003).

Findings
The authors’ analysis shows that investment-cash flow sensitivity is greater when managers are insulated from takeovers. The authors’ results also demonstrate that the effects of the passage of antitakeover laws on investment-cash flow sensitivity are greater when firms’ accounting information environment is poor, which is measured by fewer analysts following and higher analyst forecast dispersion. The authors also show that the effects of the passage of antitakeover laws on investment-cash flow sensitivity are greater when firms have severe agency problems, which are measured by more free cash flow.

Originality/value
The authors’ research extends the empirical accounting literature about the effects of corporate governance and accounting information environment on firms’ operating and financial decisions.
Dwarkanath Tagore as a pioneering entrepreneur of India
Authors: Roy Abhijit 
Published: September 2018

Purpose
In the past three centuries in India, outsiders have dominated economic fortunes. Yet, for a brief interlude for two decades (i.e. in the 1830s and 1840s), the Bengalis from Eastern India played a dominant role in the modern business sector of the economy as partners of the British. The singular reason behind this phenomenon was the role of Dwarkanath Tagore (DT) in building multiple multiracial business partnerships in a myriad of businesses. This study aims to demonstrate how all of these activities were synthesized in an integrated marketing approach and how DT was the catalyst in forging these partnerships with the British East India Company and other enterprises.

Design/methodology/approach
A historical research method is used in critically examining the business practices of DT. Resources include a few biographies about him as well as several print sources, including several publications owned by him.

Findings
DT’s approach to an integrated marketing approach in the nineteenth century, involved the traditional production, distributional and promotional components, and he understood the significance of using all tools at his disposal to reach his market using these synergies, each reinforcing his main self-identify was that of an entrepreneur. He used forward integration techniques in running other operations, e.g. distribution, publishing, advertising and promotion of his products. His multiracial social networks for business and social activities are also identified.

Originality/value
This study synthesizes different sections of DT’s businesses and illustrates how he used integrated marketing to build an enterprising, profit-making business, which was good for both the economy of Bengal and that of the British East India Company and his other partners. The study also establishes him as a pioneering Indian entrepreneur and identifies major social networks with other business partners (both Indian and British).
