Do Sideline Concussion Assessments Predict Subsequent Neurocognitive Impairment After Sport-Related Concussion?
Authors: Sufrinko Alicia , McAllister-Deitrick Jamie , Womble Melissa , Kontos Anthony 
Published: May 2017

Context:
Comprehensive, multidomain assessment is the standard of care after sport-related concussion. However, the relationship between performance on sideline concussion-assessment tools and in-office computerized neurocognitive testing has received little attention, and the prognostic utility of sideline measures is unknown.

Objective:
To evaluate concurrent impairment on commonly used concussion measures 24 to 48 hours postinjury while also determining the predictive utility of sideline measures on computerized neurocognitive testing in the acute to subacute recovery periods postinjury.

Design:
Case-control study.

Setting:
High school and collegiate athletics.

Patients or Other Participants:
A total of 125 high school and college-aged athletes (85 males, 40 females) 14 to 23 (16.8 ± 2.21) years old.

Main Outcome Measure(s):
Participants were administered sideline concussion-assessment measures (ie, Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing [ImPACT], Standardized Assessment of Concussion [SAC], and Balance Error Scoring System [BESS]) 24 to 48 hours postinjury and completed ImPACT and the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale 5 to 7 and 10 to 14 days postinjury. Outcome measures were the ImPACT composite (verbal memory, visual memory, reaction time, visual-motor speed), SAC, and BESS scores and total symptom score on the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale.

Results:
Participants demonstrated heterogeneous patterns of impairment on measures 24 to 48 hours postinjury, with the most common pattern being impairment on ImPACT and the SAC. Performance on the SAC and BESS at 24 to 48 hours after injury did not distinguish between those with and those without impairment on ImPACT at 5 to 7 days postinjury (χ2 = 5.076, P = .079) or 10 to 14 days postinjury (χ2 = 2.04, P = .361).

Conclusions:
More than 90% of athletes were impaired on at least 1 sideline or neurocognitive measure 24 to 48 hours after sport-related concussion. Although sideline measures are useful for concussion diagnosis, they are not suitable for prognostication of impairment or the presence of symptoms 1 to 2 weeks postinjury.

Published: May 2017

Background:
Associated risk factors for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) include smoking, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (DM). Studies on their role in Sri Lankan patients are sparse. The aims were to determine the risk factors for RCC in a cohort of Sri Lankan patients.

Methods:
A hospital-based case–control study was done in a teaching hospital from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2015. The prospectively collected data included history of smoking, hypertension, DM, and body mass index (BMI). The controls were patients who were admitted after trauma and who required abdominal ultrasonography as part of routine assessment. The controls were accrued at a ratio of 1:2 and were age- and gender-matched. Chi-squared test was used, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
There were 178 patients with RCC. The mean age of patients with RCC was 56.9 years. Male to female ratio was 3.5:1. Forty-nine (27.5%) patients were < 50-year-old. 36.5% were asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally by ultrasound scanning. Obesity (BMI > 30) (P < 0.01), DM (P < 0.05), and hypertension (P < 0.01) were significantly more common among the cases than in controls. There was no difference in the prevalence of smoking between the two groups (P > 0.5).

Conclusions:
Average age at the time of diagnosis of RCC in Sri Lankan patients is lower than the developed world, with a large proportion of patients being under 50 years. Obesity, hypertension, and DM are associated risk factors for RCC in Sri Lankan patients while smoking is not.
Impression Smear Agreement with Acetate Tape Preparation for Cytologic Sampling
Authors: Layne Elizabeth A. , Zabel Sonja 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
Cutaneous cytologic sampling techniques are used to detect bacteria, yeast, and inflammatory cells for diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. Studies have examined slide evaluation techniques, ear swab cytology staining methods, and observer variations; few studies compare common clinical sampling techniques. The primary aim of this study was to measure detection of microorganisms and neutrophils by impression smear compared to acetate tape preparation; comparison of agreement between two acetate tape staining methods was a secondary aim. Thirty lesions consistent with superficial pyoderma were sampled via impression smear and acetate tape preparation. Acetate tape preparations were either stained with modified Romanowksy stain solutions two and three or solution three alone. Impression smears were stained in the standard manner. Bacteria, yeast, and neutrophils were evaluated using a semi-quantitative scale [0-4]. Quantities were aggregated and compared using Cohen's kappa to measure agreement between methods. When impression smears were compared to acetate tape, the lowest agreement occurred for neutrophils, with impression smears detecting more neutrophils. Comparison of acetate tape staining methods had the highest agreement for yeast detection. Sampling technique and staining method did not differ for detection of bacteria. Impression smears detected more neutrophils, and yeast detection appeared equivalent for acetate tape staining methods.
The Effect of Heart Disease on Anesthetic Complications During Routine Dental Procedures in Dogs

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACTDental procedures are a common reason for general anesthesia, and there is widespread concern among veterinarians that heart disease increases the occurrence of anesthetic complications. Anxiety about anesthetizing dogs with heart disease is a common cause of referral to specialty centers. To begin to address the potential effect of heart disease on anesthetic complications in dogs undergoing anesthesia for routine dental procedures, we compared anesthetic complications in 100 dogs with heart disease severe enough to trigger referral to a specialty center (cases) to those found in 100 dogs without cardiac disease (controls) that underwent similar procedures at the same teaching hospital. Medical records were reviewed to evaluate the occurrence of anesthetic complications. No dogs died in either group, and no significant differences were found between the groups in any of the anesthetic complications evaluated, although dogs in the heart disease group were significantly older with higher American Society of Anesthesiologists scores. Midazolam and etomidate were used more frequently, and alpha-2 agonists used less frequently, in the heart disease group compared to controls. This study suggests dogs with heart disease, when anesthetized by trained personnel and carefully monitored during routine dental procedures, are not at significantly increased risk for anesthetic complications.
Detection of Deafness in Puppies Using a Hand-Held Otoacoustic Emission Screener

Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a hand-held otoacoustic emissions screener to detect deafness in puppies. Specifically, distortion product otoacoustic emissions were recorded from 34 puppies (both sexes) of a variety of breeds, from 6–10 wk of age, and the results were compared to brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER) recorded from the same puppies. Recordings were obtained from both ears in awake or lightly anesthetized puppies, and the results from each ear were compared. In all 62 ears that had normal BAERs, the distortion product otoacoustic emissions screener gave a response of “Pass.” The three puppies that had flat BAER recordings in one or both ears provided a screener result of “Refer.” In two ears with unusual BAERs (waveforms with reduced amplitudes and prolonged latencies) and a “Refer” response from the screener, there was compacted debris in one external ear canal, and the other ear canal was normal. The screener technology has proven application in human infants and is an attractive alternative to BAER testing in puppies because of expense and ease of use.
Upper Airway Obstruction Secondary to Anticoagulant Rodenticide Toxicosis in Five Dogs
Authors: Lawson Corinne , O'Brien Mauria , McMichael Maureen 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACTFive dogs were presented with clinical signs compatible with upper airway obstruction, including stridor, stertor, coughing, gagging, and varying degrees of respiratory distress. All dogs had radiographic findings of soft tissue opacity in the area of the pharynx, larynx, or trachea, and several had narrowing of the tracheal lumen. Coagulation abnormalities (prolonged prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time) were present in the four dogs that underwent testing. Four of five dogs were treated for the coagulopathy, presumably due to anticoagulant rodenticide toxicosis, and survived to discharge.Upper airway obstruction is an unusual presentation for anticoagulant rodenticide toxicosis in dogs. Raising the index of suspicion for this treatable condition may help clinicians to identify this sooner.

Tid for terror. Læreres håndtering av kontroversielle spørsmål i skolens religions- og livssynsundervisning
Authors: Anker Trine , Von der Lippe Marie 
Published: May 2017

Religious Education in Norway has been criticised for avoiding conflict perspectives and controversial issues. This article looks closer at some of these issues by focusing on how teachers in upper secondary school have dealt with the terrorist attacks in Norway on 22 July 2011 in the subject matter Religion and Ethics. This study takes as a starting point a previous study among students in upper secondary schools and their perceptions of what school has done in the aftermath of the incident, by adding teachers’ perspectives (Anker & von der Lippe 2015). The findings from the student survey showed that 22 July has almost been silenced in school, and the interviews with the teachers partly confirm this. The picture is however broadened, and shows that teachers have dealt with the issues in different ways. An important finding is that teachers´ personal and academic competencies seem to be important for whether and how controversial subjects are included in their teachings or not.Keywords: 22.

Dagens kroppsidealisering og kristen kroppsrealisme
Authors: Sæle Ove Olsen 
Published: May 2017

Our approach to the human body has always correlated with the contemporary cultural context. Today’s modern hi-tech society, with its extreme body discipline and body idealism, seems to express an even stronger mind-body duality than ever. The historical concept of mind-body duality, where the human flesh was subordinated and suppressed by human consciousness, soul and spirit, seems to form an underlying basis for today’s superficial body approach as well. Christian theology, paradoxically, can also provide a more subtle, positive and comprehensive conception of the body, which hopefully can function as a counterbalance to the current superficial body approach.Keywords: Mind-body duality • Ireneus, Descartes • today’s superficial body approach • a Christian conception of bodyNøkkelord: Kropp/sjel-dualisme • Ireneus, Descartes • Dagens overfladiske kroppstilnærming • En kristen kroppsrealisme
Religionsfaget i videregående skole En læreplanhistorisk gjennomgang 1976-2006
Authors: Andreassen Bengt-Ove , Olsen Torjer A. 
Published: May 2017

This article presents an analysis of the history and content of the curriculum for Religious Studies in Norwegian high schools from 1976 until 2006. The curriculum for the Sami administrative area is also drawn in to put the development into perspective. Against the background of this curriculum-historical survey, it is argued that the subject’s religious-historical breadth has been significantly reduced. This forms the basis for a critical discussion of the conceptualization of “Islam” and “Indigenous circumpolar religions”, and of the extent to which the subject’s specificity has been transformed into a more instrumental understanding, where it is required to answer to specific social challenges.Keywords: curriculum analysis, islam, circumpolar indigenous religions, indigenous people Nøkkelord: læreplananalyse, islam, Sirkumpolare urfolksreligioner, urfolk
Determination of Sulfite in Food by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Collaborative Study
Authors: Carlos Katherine S , de Jager Lowri S 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Sulfites are added to a wide range of food and beverage products to prevent browning or oxidation. Although most of the population do not experience side effects from consuming sulfites, a small subset has been shown to experience an “allergic-like” response. For this reason, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that sulfites be labeled on all products that contain more than 10 mg/kg (parts per million) sulfur dioxide. The current regulatory method, optimized Monier–Williams (OMW) Official Method990.28, has been successful in quantifying sulfites in most matrixes, but is time-consuming and has a method detection limit at the regulatory-labeling threshold. Recently, an LC-tandem MS (MS/MS) method was published that was applicable to a wide range of sulfite-containing matrixes. This method converts free and reversibly bound sulfite to the formaldehyde adduct hydroxymethylsulfonate, which could then be separated from matrix constituents using a hydrophilic interaction LC analytical column and subsequently be detected with tandem MS (MS/MS). In this study, multilaboratory validation was conducted with 11 laboratories in the United States and Canada. Four matrixes were spiked at varying concentrations and three additional commercially sulfited matrixes were included. An abbreviated comparison study between the LC-MS/MS and OMW methods was conducted for select samples. Average recoveries for all matrixes ranged from 86 to 114% with RSDr and RSDR values of 4.5–17.5 and 8.6–22.5%, respectively. Further comparisons will be necessary to draw comparisons between the two methods. This method proved to be a faster and more sensitive way to determine sulfites in food and beverages, showing promise for the continuing improvement of enforcement of sulfite labeling requirements to protect individuals who have sulfite sensitivity.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
The botanical origin of seven types of Slovenian honey was investigated by analysis of their elemental content using k0-instrumental neutron activation analysis. A total of 28 representative samples were collected from beekeepers all over Slovenia in 2 consecutive years. Nineteen of the 37 elements measured were present in amounts above their LOD. The present study suggests that the determination of only alkali elements might be sufficient for the classification of Slovenian honeys according to their botanical origin. Linden and multifloral honeys can be differentiated on the basis of Na content. The differentiation of forest, spruce, and fir honeys is possible on the basis of differences in Cs, K, and Rb content. The difference between Na and Rb content can be used as a discriminating tool between light and dark honeys, because light honeys (black locust, linden, and multifloral) contained more Na than Rb, whereas it was the opposite for dark honeys (chestnut, forest, spruce, and fir). Statistically significant correlations were found between K and Rb and between K and Cs content. This study represents a considerable step in filling the knowledge gap concerning both the determination of elements present in low concentrations and the botanical origin of Slovenian honey.
“It´s a whole human being”: A qualitative study of care experiences among patients treated in de-centralised healthcare services
Authors: Leonardsen Ann-Chatrin Linqvist , Del Busso Lilliana , Grøndahl Vigdis Abrahamsen , Jelsness-Jørgensen Lars-Petter 
Published: May 2017

Introduction and aims: Municipal acute wards (MAWs) have recently been established in Norway. These wards offer acute treatment, care and observation to patients who normally would have been hospitalised, aimed at reducing pressure on specialist healthcare services. This study was designed to explore care experiences among patients admitted to municipal acute wards.Methods: Twenty-seven patients discharged from 5 different municipal acute wards in Østfold County, south-eastern Norway, participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: Analysis of patients’ care experiences identified person-centeredness as a key theme. Subthemes related to person-centeredness were: (a) communication and (b) being treated as a person. Patient reflections were based on the patient-healthcare personnel encounters that they had experienced during their stay at the MAW. Verbal and non-verbal communication and a sense of being seen and looked after as a whole human being or a person, beyond the disease itself, were contrasted to earlier hospital experiences. Conclusion: Patients reflected on communication and being treated as a person as elements that positively distinguished care in municipal acute wards from earlier hospital experiences. Since suboptimal communication and interaction between healthcare professionals and patients may be linked to patient dissatisfaction and poorer health outcomes, it is necessary for healthcare administrators and professionals not only to focus on the quality of medical outcome, but also on the quality of interpersonal relations in the healthcare environment.

Published: May 2017

Objetivo: Foi investigada a associação entre diferenças horárias da poluição do ar e exacerbação da asma em Campo Grande, usando dados relacionados com internações por asma e verificada a sazonalidade e status socioeconômico com uma resolução temporal horária. Metodologia: Foi aplicado caso de cruzamento estratificada ajustado para o tempo; o atraso foi estratificado com 1 e 6, 7 e 12, 13 e 18, 19 e 24, 25 e 48, e 49 e 72 hs; (95% intervalo de confiança), o aumento do intervalo interquartil foi após 19 e 24 para O3. Resultados: O efeito foi de lag 25 e 48 h no inverno para o ozônio (O3). Os efeitos para o O3 foram para a idade de baixo estatus socioeconômico modificado em lag 7e12 h (1,252 (1.04 e 1.51)). O O3 aumentou o risco de exacerbação da asma. Níveis mais altos de O3 foram associados com risco aumentado de exposição das exacerbações da asma. Conclusão: Os efeitos adversos da estação do ano do O3 foram modificados por idade. Os resultados indicam que a política de saúde no município deve se concentrar nas populações vulneráveis, como portadores de asma.Descritores: Poluição do Ar; Asma; Risco.
