Hemispherotomy in children with electrical status epilepticus of sleep
Authors: Jeong Anna , Strahle Jennifer , Vellimana Ananth K. , Limbrick David D. , Smyth Matthew D. , Bertrand Mary 
Published: October 2016

OBJECTIVE
Electrical status epilepticus of sleep (ESES) is a rare electrographic pattern associated with global regression, which is often poorly responsive to traditional epilepsy treatments and can have a devastating and permanent neurocognitive outcome. The authors analyzed clinical, electroencephalographic, and neuropsychological outcomes in 9 patients with refractory ESES treated with functional hemispherotomy to illustrate the wide clinical spectrum associated with the disease and explore the role of hemispherotomy in its treatment.

METHODS
During the period between 2003 and 2015, 80 patients underwent hemispherotomy at the authors' institution. Video electroencephalography (EEG) reports were reviewed for ESES or continuous spikes and waves during sleep (CSWS). Patients with preoperative ESES (> 85% slow-wave sleep occupied by spike waves), a unilateral structural lesion amenable to surgery, and more than 6 months of follow-up data were included in the analysis. Clinical data, EEG recordings, neuropsychological testing, and parental and clinician reports were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS
Nine patients were eligible for study inclusion. Age at seizure onset ranged from birth to 4.2 years (mean 1.9 years), age at ESES diagnosis ranged from 3.5 to 8.8 years (mean 6.0 years), and age at hemispherotomy ranged from 3.7 to 11.5 years (mean 6.8 years). All patients had drug-resistant epilepsy. The duration of epilepsy prior to hemispherotomy ranged from 2.7 to 8.9 years (mean ± SD, 5.0 ± 2.2 years). Engel Class I seizure outcome was observed in all 9 children, with a mean follow-up of 3.0 years (range 0.5–6.1 years). Hemispherotomy terminated ESES in 6 of 6 patients with available postoperative sleep EEG. All children had preoperative neuropsychological impairments. Developmental regression was halted postoperatively, but none of the children returned to their original pre-ESES baseline. Four children demonstrated academic gains, 2 of whom transitioned to mainstream classes.

CONCLUSIONS
Children with drug-resistant ESES and a unilateral structural lesion should be evaluated for hemispherotomy as they may experience the cessation of seizures, termination of ESES, and improvement in neuropsychological status.

Published: October 2016

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to define symptomatic and radiographic outcomes following spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

METHODS
All patients with pathological diagnoses of myeloma undergoing spine SRS at a single institution were included. Patients with less than 1 month of follow-up were excluded. The primary outcome measure was the cumulative incidence of pain relief after spine SRS, while secondary outcomes included the cumulative incidences of radiographic failure and vertebral fracture. Pain scores before and after treatment were prospectively collected using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), a validated questionnaire used to assess severity and impact of pain upon daily functions.

RESULTS
Fifty-six treatments (in 38 patients) were eligible for inclusion. Epidural disease was present in nearly all treatment sites (77%). Moreover, preexisting vertebral fracture (63%), thecal sac compression (55%), and neural foraminal involvement (48%) were common. Many treatment sites had undergone prior local therapy, including external beam radiation therapy (EBRT; 30%), surgery (23%), and kyphoplasty (21%). At the time of consultation for SRS, the worst, current, and average BPI pain scores at these treatment sites were 6, 4, and 4, respectively. The median prescription dose was 16 Gy in a single fraction. The median clinical follow-up duration after SRS was 26 months. The 6- and 12-month cumulative incidences of radiographic failure were 6% and 9%, respectively. Among painful treatment sites, 41% achieved pain relief adjusted for narcotic usage, with a median time to relief of 1.6 months. The 6- and 12-month cumulative incidences of adjusted pain progression were 13% and 15%, respectively. After SRS, 1-month and 3-month worst, current, and average BPI scores all significantly decreased (p < 0.01). Vertebral fracture occurred following 12 treatments (21%), with an 18% cumulative incidence of fracture at 6 and 12 months. Two patients (4%) developed pain flare following spine SRS.

CONCLUSIONS
This study reports the largest series of myeloma lesions treated with spine SRS. A rapid and durable symptomatic response was observed, with a median time to pain relief of 1.6 months. This response was durable among 85% of patients at 12 months following treatment, with 91% local control. The efficacy and minimal toxicity of spine SRS is likely related to the delivery of ablative and conformal radiation doses to the target. SRS should be considered with doses of 14–16 Gy in a single fraction for patients with multiple myeloma and limited spinal disease, myelosuppression requiring “marrow-sparing” radiation therapy, or recurrent disease after EBRT.
KINETIC EXTENSION OF CRITICAL BALANCE TO WHISTLER TURBULENCE
Authors: Narita Y. 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
Kinetic extension of the critical balance for plasma turbulence is presented on the spatial scales around the ion inertial length by considering electron fluid turbulence in the directions around the mean magnetic field and obliquely propagating whistler waves. The wavevector anisotropy scaling and the energy spectra for the flow velocity, the magnetic field, and the electric field are discussed.
THE HYDRODYNAMIC FEEDBACK OF COSMIC REIONIZATION ON SMALL-SCALE STRUCTURES AND ITS IMPACT ON PHOTON CONSUMPTION DURING THE EPOCH OF REIONIZATION

Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
Density inhomogeneity in the intergalactic medium (IGM) can boost the recombination rate of ionized gas substantially, affecting the growth of H ii regions during reionization. Previous attempts to quantify this effect typically failed to resolve down to the Jeans scale in the preionization IGM, which is important in establishing this effect, along with the hydrodynamical back-reaction of reionization on it. Toward that end, we perform a set of fully coupled, radiation-hydrodynamics simulations from cosmological initial conditions, extending the mass resolution of previous work to the scale of minihalos. Pre-reionization structure is evolved until a redshift z

i
at which the ionizing radiation from external sources arrives to sweep an R-type ionization front supersonically across the volume in a few million years, until it is trapped on the surfaces of minihalos and converted to D-type, after which the minihalo gas is removed by photoevaporative winds. Small-scale density structures during this time lead to a high (>10) clumping factor for ionized gas, which hugely boosts the recombination rate until the structures are disrupted by the hydrodynamic feedback after ∼10–100 Myr.

Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We present an analysis of the metallicity distribution of the dense circumgalactic medium (CGM) of galaxies at 0.1 ≲ z ≲ 1.1 as probed by partial Lyman limit systems (pLLSs, 16.1 < log

< 17.2) and LLSs (17.2 ≤ log

< 17.7 in our sample). The new H i-selected sample, drawn from our Hubble Space Telescope COS G140L snapshot survey of 61 QSOs, has 20 pLLSs and 10 LLSs. Combined with our previous survey, we have a total of 44 pLLSs and 11 LLSs. We find that the metallicity distribution of the pLLSs is bimodal at z ≲ 1, with a minimum at [X/H] = −1. The low-metallicity peak comprises (57 ± 8)% of the pLLSs and is centered at [X/H] ≃ −1.87(1.3% solar metallicity), while the high-metallicity peak is centered at [X/H] ≃ −0.32 (48% solar metallicity). Although the sample of LLSs is still small, there is some evidence that the metallicity distributions of the LLSs and pLLSs are different, with a far lower fraction of very metal-poor ([X/H] < −1.4) LLSs than pLLSs. The fraction of LLSs with [X/H] < −1 is similar to that found in pLLSs (∼56%). However, higher H i column density absorbers (log

> 19.0) show a much lower fraction of metal-poor gas; therefore, the metallicity distribution of gas in and around galaxies depends sensitively on N
H i
at z ≲ 1. We interpret the high-metallicity ([X/H] ≥ −1) pLLSs and LLSs as arising in outflows, recycling winds, and tidally stripped gas around galaxies. The low-metallicity pLLSs and LLSs imply that the CGM of z ≲ 1 galaxies hosts a substantial mass of cool, dense, low-metallicity gas that may ultimately accrete onto the galaxies.
ON UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF COLLISIONS OF CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS OBSERVED BY STEREO
Authors: Mishra Wageesh , Wang Yuming , Srivastava Nandita 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We attempt to understand the collision characteristics of two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched successively from the Sun on 2013 October 25. The estimated kinematics, from three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques applied to observations of CMEs by the SECCHI/Coronagraphic (COR) and Heliospheric Imagers, reveal their collision around 37

from the Sun. In the analysis, we take into account the propagation and expansion speeds, impact direction, and angular size as well as the masses of the CMEs. These parameters are derived from imaging observations, but may suffer from large uncertainties. Therefore, by adopting head-on as well as oblique collision scenarios, we have quantified the range of uncertainties involved in the calculation of the coefficient of restitution for expanding magnetized plasmoids. We show that the large expansion speed of the following CME compared with that of the preceding CME results in a higher probability of super-elastic collision. We also infer that a relative approaching speed of the CMEs lower than the sum of their expansion speeds increases the chance of a super-elastic collision. The analysis under reasonable errors in the observed parameters of the CME reveals a larger probability of occurrence of an inelastic collision for the selected CMEs. We suggest that the collision nature of two CMEs should be discussed in 3D, and the calculated value of the coefficient of restitution may suffer from a large uncertainty.
Ségrégations à l’hôpital. De quelques figures de l’étranger dans la relation de soin
Authors: Pestre Élise , Baligand Pascale , Wolmark Laure 
Published: October 2016

Dans cet article, les auteures proposent une lecture des phénomènes de ségrégation à l’œuvre dans le champ de la santé en s’intéressant à la relation de soin, à partir d’une psychanalyse en extension dans le champ politique et social. À partir d’une étude conduite auprès de soignants dans des hôpitaux de la région parisienne, ce texte met au jour des figures de l’étranger qui émergent chez les professionnels, et qui sont susceptibles d’interférer dans les prises en charge, voire de les entraver. Ces figures sont construites selon des modalités proches du travail du rêve et mêlent au discours social, une dimension historique, ainsi que des éléments plus subjectifs. Ces figures se relient à des effets d’angoisse, voire de sidération dans la relation transférentielle ; elles peuvent être regroupées à travers différentes catégories qui définissent ainsi ce qui « fait étranger » pour le soignant (inquiétante étrangeté, étranger à la vie nue, étranger réel).
Narcisse à l’épreuve de l’hémodialyse :quelle méta-morphose ?
Authors: Jean-Dit-Pannel Romuald 
Published: October 2016

De par une maladie rénale chronique et ses traitements médicaux palliatifs tels que l’hémodialyse, le narcissisme du sujet, confronté à sa propre mort, est à l’épreuve d’une méta-morphose somatique et psychique. Cet article se propose d’interroger ce contexte particulier d’intervention clinique, questionnant l’espace psychique de « bébés en détresse » au sein duquel un dispositif spécifique peut être mis en place afin de travailler à susciter la demande des sujets dialysés. Le maternage psych(olog)ique et la tranquille disponibilité intérieure du clinicien entreront en jeu, afin de proposer une réanimation psychique, jusqu’à une prise en charge psychothérapeutique.
Psychanalyse et observation du bébé selon Esther Bick
Authors: Delion Pierre 
Published: October 2016

La psychanalyse permet au futur psychothérapeute de se former à ce « métier impossible ». Toutefois, la connaissance du bébé est une nécessité pour devenir un psychothérapeute d’enfant. La méthode d’observation d’un bébé selon Esther Bick est une des possibilités les plus fécondes pour ce faire. Cet article tente de proposer une réflexion sur l’intérêt des deux approches, aussi bien sur le plan psychopathologique que sur les aléas du transfert-contre transfert. Les effets institutionnels seront également abordés. Nul doute qu’à un moment de l’histoire des idées où la psychanalyse est l’objet de disqualifications injustes, des expériences puissent en montrer toute l’importance pour traiter la souffrance psychique des enfants.
Quelques considérations sur l’observation dite « directe » et son interprétation
Authors: Roussillon René 
Published: October 2016

L’auteur souligne les différentes objections faites par certains psychanalystes à l’observation directe opposée à l’ observation indirecte dans la situation psychanalytique privilégiant l’écoute de l’associativité du sujet. Mais, il indique la parenté entre la méthode d’Esther Bick et la situation psychanalytique, à partir d’une vignette d’observation directe et en s’appuyant sur le modèle proposé par Devereux : le tout-petit exprime, à travers son comportement et ses manifestations sensori-motrices, sa propre subjectivité. C’est, en fait, d’une intersubjectivité et d’une inter-intentionnalité qu’il s’agit.

Published: October 2016

À partir de l’observation échographique prénatale, les auteurs s’intéressent au développement de la vie fœtale à partir des mouvements originaires et des premiers comporte­ments du fœtus en lien avec l’environnement. Cette épigenèse fœtale permet aux auteurs de questionner l’émergence prénatale de la vie psychique à travers des inscriptions qui seront actualisées après la naissance. L’observation échographique des jumeaux par les auteurs et une revue de la littérature sur ce thème permet d’aller plus loin et de repérer l’émergence de proto-liens entre fœtus, découverte d’un « autre ». Cette observation échographique pratiquée avec attention et bienveillance avec les parents permet aux auteurs de souligner la valeur de l’échographie pour prévenir des troubles précoces et constituer un support pour l’anticipation de l’enfant à venir.
Nous sommes tous de la terre. Une lecture de l’encyclique Laudato si’
Authors: Greiner Dominique 
Published: October 2016

Avec Laudato si’ , le pape François propose un nouveau point de départ pour la réflexion et l’engagement social de l’Église. Il cherche à unifier les différents aspects de la vie humaine en montrant l’étroite interdépendance du rapport à Dieu, à soi, aux autres mais aussi à la terre. Comment comprendre l’intégration de cette nouvelle relation dans la réflexion théologique ?
À la recherche de la liberté
Authors: Boulnois Olivier 
Published: October 2016

L’évidence du libre arbitre est en réalité le résultat d’une construction métaphysique complexe, qui fait intervenir les concepts d’âme, de cause et de Dieu. Nous avons vu ensuite que la thèse contraire, l’idée que notre liberté est une illusion, parce que nous sommes déterminés par des désirs inconscients, cette idée est elle-même une construction métaphysique. Pourtant, même dans ce cas, la prise en compte du désir par la parole dessinait une possibilité de libération. Enfin, nous avons vu comment l’ambiguïté de la liberté était enracinée sur l’ambiguïté du désir. Et nous avons esquissé une réponse : nous ne sommes pas encore pleinement libres. Mais nous pouvons le devenir.
John Dewey and the Future of Community College Education
Authors: Harbour Clifford P. 
Published: October 2016

Today, community colleges enroll 40% of all undergraduates in the United States. In the years ahead, these institutions are expected to serve an even larger share of this student population. However, faced with increasing government pressure to significantly improve student completion rates, many community colleges will be forced to reconsider their traditional commitment to expand educational opportunity. Community colleges, therefore, are at a crossroads. Should they focus on improving student completion rates and divert resources from student recruitment programs? Should they improve completion rates by closing developmental studies programs and limiting enrollment to college-ready students? Or, can community colleges simultaneously expand educational opportunity and improve student completion?
In John Dewey and the Future of Community College Education, Cliff Harbour argues that before these questions can be answered, community colleges must articulate the values and priorities that will guide them in the future. Harbour proposes that leaders across the institution come together and adopt a new democracy-based normative vision grounded in the writings of John Dewey, which would call upon colleges to do much more than improve completion rates and expand educational opportunity. It would look beyond the national economic measures that dominate higher education policy debates today and would prioritize individual student growth and the development of democratic communities. Harbour argues that this, in turn, would help community colleges contribute to the vital work of reconstructing American democracy.
John Dewey and the Future of Community College Education is essential reading for all community college advocates interested in taking a more active role in developing the community college of the future.

Abstract. The important roles of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) in climate, weather and air quality have long been recognized, but little is known about the PBL climatology in China. Using the fine-resolution sounding observations made across China and reanalysis data, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the PBL in China from January 2011 to July 2015. The boundary layer height (BLH) is found to be generally higher in spring and summer than that in fall and winter. The comparison of seasonally averaged BLHs derived from observations and reanalysis, on average, shows good agreement, despite the pronounced inconsistence in some regions. The BLH, derived from soundings conducted three or four times daily in summer, tends to peak in the early afternoon, and the diurnal amplitude of BLH is higher in the northern and western subregions of China than other subregions. The meteorological influence on the annual cycle of BLH is investigated as well, showing that BLH at most sounding sites is negatively associated with the surface pressure and lower tropospheric stability, but positively associated with the near-surface wind speed and temperature. In addition, cloud tends to suppress the development of PBL, particularly in the early afternoon. This indicates that meteorology plays a significant role in the PBL processes. Overall, the key findings obtained from this study lay a solid foundation for us to gain a deep insight into the fundamentals of PBL in China, which helps to understand the roles that the PBL plays in the air pollution, weather and climate of China.
Combined assimilation of streamflow and snow water equivalent for mid-term
ensemble streamflow forecasts in snow-dominated regions
Authors: Bergeron Jean M. , Trudel Mélanie , Leconte Robert 
Published: October 2016

Abstract. The potential of data assimilation for hydrologic predictions has been demonstrated in many research studies. Watersheds over which multiple observation types are available can potentially further benefit from data assimilation by having multiple updated states from which hydrologic predictions can be generated. However, the magnitude and time span of the impact of the assimilation of an observation varies according not only to its type, but also to the variables included in the state vector. This study examines the impact of multivariate synthetic data assimilation using the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) into the spatially distributed hydrologic model CEQUEAU for the mountainous Nechako River located in British Columbia, Canada. Synthetic data include daily snow cover area (SCA), daily measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) at three different locations and daily streamflow data at the watershed outlet. Results show a large variability of the continuous rank probability skill score over a wide range of prediction horizons (days to weeks) depending on the state vector configuration and the type of observations assimilated. Overall, the variables most closely linearly linked to the observations are the ones worth considering adding to the state vector due to the limitations imposed by the EnKF. The performance of the assimilation of basin-wide SCA, which does not have a decent proxy among potential state variables, does not surpass the open loop for any of the simulated variables. However, the assimilation of streamflow offers major improvements steadily throughout the year, but mainly over the short-term (up to 5 days) forecast horizons, while the impact of the assimilation of SWE gains more importance during the snowmelt period over the mid-term (up to 50 days) forecast horizon compared with open loop. The combined assimilation of streamflow and SWE performs better than their individual counterparts, offering improvements over all forecast horizons considered and throughout the whole year, including the critical period of snowmelt. This highlights the potential benefit of using multivariate data assimilation for streamflow predictions in snow-dominated regions.
