Parental Internet Use and Health Information Seeking Behavior Comparing Elective and Emergency Pediatric Surgical Situations
Authors: Wong Michael , Sivasegaran Daveraj , Choo Candy , Nah Shireen 
Published: June 2017

Introduction This study evaluates usage patterns of online health information in parents with children undergoing elective or emergency surgical procedures.
Materials and Methods We prospectively surveyed parents of children admitted to our institution for common emergency (appendicectomy, abscess drainage, gonadal torsion) or elective (herniotomy, orchidopexy) operations between March and September 2016. Each completed an anonymized modification of a previously published survey comprising 19 questions on demographic data, Internet usage, and review of Internet resources. Chi-square tests were used for categorical data with p < 0.05 considered significant.
Results Eighty-four parents were surveyed: 50(59.5%) elective and 34(40.5%) emergency procedures, with no refusals. Majority were mothers (n = 53; 63.1%). Despite high home Internet availability (n = 81; 96.4%) and high casual Internet usage rates (74 parents, 88.1%, reported daily use), just 38 (76%) parents from the elective group and 24 (70.6%) from the emergency group went online to access their child's admitting condition. Friends and family were more likely to be approached for information in elective (n = 27; 54%) and emergency groups (n = 24;70.6%) than general practitioners or other health care workers. When condition-specific online information was sought, more than 95% felt that the information concurred with the doctor's. Most common reasons were for more information on the condition (n = 56; 90.3%) and on medical treatment (n = 52; 83.9%). Eighteen (18/62; 29%) parents reported excessively technical information. No significant difference in behavior was found comparing elective and emergency groups.
Conclusion Approximately one quarter of parents do not access condition-specific online medical information despite high Internet penetration rates. More than half depend on friends and family for additional information, reflecting societal and cultural norms in our population. Surgeons must incorporate awareness of these behaviors during counselling

Zusammenfassung
Einleitung Defeat und Entrapment spielen als transdiagnostisch bedeutsame Faktoren bei der Entstehung von Depression, Angst, Traumafolgestörungen und Suizidalität eine Rolle. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, erstmals eine deutsche Version der Defeat-Scale (DS-d) zur Messung von Defeat vorzustellen und erste Validitätsbelege zu präsentieren.
Material und Methoden Es wurden mittels einer Online-Befragung Daten von N=480 Personen erhoben (74% weiblich; MAlter=28,5, SDAlter=11,1, Range: 18–80 Jahre); 14,2% der Teilnehmer gaben an, derzeit psychisch erkrankt zu sein, 8,5% berichteten von mind. einem Suizidversuch in der Vergangenheit. Alle Teilnehmer füllten die DS-d, die Entrapment Scale, das Rasch-basierte Depressionsscreening, das Depressive Symptoms Inventory – Suicidality Subscale, den Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire-Revised, den Childhood Trauma Screener und den Fragebogen Generalized Anxiety Disorders 2 aus. Die faktorielle Validität der DS-d wurde mittels einer 1-faktoriellen konfirmatorischen Faktorenanalyse (KFA) überprüft. Zudem wurden die interne Konsistenz, konvergente Validität (Korrelation mit den anderen erhobenen Maßen), und Kriteriumsvalidität (hinsichtlich Suizidalität) ermittelt.
Ergebnisse Nach Zulassen einer Residualkorrelation zwischen 2 invers formulierten Items wurde ein zufriedenstellender Fit zum einfaktoriellen Modell erreicht (RMSEA=0,077, TLI=0,94, NFI=0,93, CFI=0,95; Itemladungen>0,56). Der Summenwert der DS-d korrelierte hoch mit Depression (r=0,87), Entrapment (r=0,83) und Suizidalität (r=0,70), sowie moderat mit den anderen Konstrukten. Personen mit Suizidgedanken und Suizidverhalten in der Vorgeschichte zeigten höhere Defeatwerte als Personen ohne Suizidalität.
Diskussion Die 1-dimensionale Struktur der englischen Version konnte bei der DS-d nach Zulassen einer Residualkorrelation zwischen 2 invers gepolten Items bestätigt werden. Die konvergente Validität der DS-d wird durch die überzeugenden Zusammenhänge mit benachbarten Konstrukten unterstützt. Die Zusammenhänge mit suizidalen Gedanken und Verhalten sprechen für die Kriteriumsvalidität der DS-d. Offen ist, inwieweit Defeat und Entrapment abgrenzbare Konstrukte sind, da sich in Übereinstimmung mit der Literatur ein sehr hoher Zusammenhang zwischen beiden fand.
Schlussfolgerung Es konnte erstmals eine deutsche Version der Defeat Scale vorgestellt werden, die gute psychometrische Eigenschaften hinsichtlich interner Konsistenz und Validität zeigt.
Ambulante verhaltenstherapeutische Gruppentherapie zur Behandlung von Progredienzangst bei Krebspatienten

Published: June 2017

ZusammenfassungProgredienzangst (PA) ist eine angemessene zu erwartende Reaktion auf die reale Bedrohung durch eine Krebserkrankung. Allerdings kann sie ein Ausmaß erreichen, das als klinisch bedeutsam und behandlungswürdig anzusehen ist. Eine eigene (teil)randomisiert-kontrollierte Studie in der stationären Rehabilitation zeigte, dass eine Gruppentherapie im Umfang von 4 Doppelstunden zu einer signifikanten längerfristigen Reduktion der PA führte. In der vorliegenden Arbeit beschreiben wir die Adaption des verhaltenstherapeutischen Gruppentherapieprogramms für das ambulante Setting. Die ambulante Gruppentherapie umfasst 6 Therapiestunden zu je 90 min. Durch die Erhöhung des Stundenumfangs steht mehr Raum für die aktive Auseinandersetung mit der Angst zur Verfügung. Dies geschieht primär durch eine Exposition in sensu, in der die Patienten angeleitet werden, ihre Sorgen zu Ende zu denken und zu überlegen, was schlimmstenfalls geschehen könnte. Ergänzend hierzu kommen ressourcenaktivierende Interventionen zum Einsatz. Die Durchführung von 3 Gruppentherapien im Rahmen einer Pilotphase verdeutlichte, dass das Therapieprogramm in der klinischen Praxis anwendbar ist. Die Prä-Post Evaluation (N=10) zeigte eine signifikante Reduktion der Progredienzangst (Progredienzangstfragebogen, PA-F) von M=12,0 (SD=2,0) auf M=10,3 (SD=1,7), p=0,029. Dies entspricht einem großen Effekt (Cohen’s d=0,9). Allerdings beendeten 3 von 14 Teilnehmern (21%) die Gruppentherapie vorzeitig nach den ersten 2 Sitzungen. Insgesamt sprechen die Ergebnisse und Erfahrungen mit der ambulaten verhaltenstherapeutischen Gruppentherapie für die prinzipielle Durchführbarkeit und legen nahe, dass es sich um eine effektive Therapie handelt. Die Erfahrungen zeigen aber auch, dass einige Patienten die aktive Auseinandersetzung mit der Progredienzangst als zu belastend einschätzen. Eine zu hohe Ambivalenz hinsichtlich der konfrontativen Behandlung erhöht die Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine vorzeitige Beendigung der Teilnahme. Daher sollten Patienten im Vorfeld genau über das Therapieprogramm aufgeklärt werden.

Published: June 2017

AbstractAccording to modern ethnobotanical records, the fruit of Hippophae rhamnoides is effective in the treatment of different allergic symptoms. In order to obtain pharmacological evidence for this observation, the fruit was investigated for anti-inflammatory activity using in vivo animal models. Aqueous and 70% MeOH extracts were tested in 48/80-induced rat paw edema assay after oral administration, and it was found that the 70% MeOH extract (500 mg/kg) reduced significantly edema volume (0.660 ± 0.082 mL vs. control 0.935 ± 0.041 mL). Extracts of different parts of the fruit (pulp, peel, seed) were investigated in the same assay, and the peel extract was shown to exhibit maximum edema-reducing effect (0.470 ± 0.124 mL vs. control 0.920 ± 0.111 mL). This extract was used to elucidate the mode of action. Different inflammation inducers (serotonin, histamine, dextran, bradykinin, and carrageenan) were applied in the rat paw model, but the extract inhibited only the compound 48/80 elicited inflammation. The active extract was then fractionated by solvent-solvent partitioning and chromatographic methods with the guidance of the 48/80-induced anti-inflammatory assay, and the main compounds responsible for the activity were identified as ursolic acid and oleanolic acid. Our data suggest that the activity is most probably based on a membrane stabilizing effect caused by the inhibition of degranulation of mast cells. Moreover, previously unknown 2,5-bis-aryl-3,4-dimethyltetrahydrofuran lignans, nectandrin B, fragransin A2, and saucernetindiol were isolated and identified from H. rhamnoides for the first time.
Horizon poétique/projet traductif
Authors: Ivleva Krasimira 
Published: June 2017

Résumé
Cet article examine comment le canon poétique et traductif dans la Bulgarie communiste a influencé non seulement la sélection des auteurs et des titres à traduire, mais aussi la manière dont on traduit. L’analyse s’appuie sur un recueil de poèmes de Paul Éluard traduits en bulgare en 1953. Lorsque l’œuvre d’Éluard fut publiée en Bulgarie, la poésie politiquement engagée était un genre qui existait déjà dans la littérature bulgare et qui était très apprécié par le canon. Cependant, il y avait une différence substantielle entre la manière dont les poèmes politiques étaient écrits en Bulgarie et l’expression poétique d’Éluard, ce qui a eu un impact sur la traduction.
Les traducteurs s’écartaient de l’original de deux manières. Premièrement, ils intégraient une vision idéologique des poèmes d’Éluard en ajoutant ou en soulignant certaines images secondaires ou inexistantes dans l’original. En outre, ils réduisaient les métaphores complexes d’Éluard à des images standard à connotation révolutionnaire et militante. Deuxièmement, les traducteurs ajoutaient des nuances poétiques à l’écriture sobre de l’original. Des rythmes et des rimes étaient introduits, ainsi qu’un vocabulaire archaïque et des inversions poétiques.
Ces écarts peuvent s’expliquer par l’impact que le canon littéraire au sens large et les projets du traducteur individuel exerçaient sur la pratique de la traduction dans la Bulgarie communiste.
Creoles are not typologically distinct from non-Creoles
Authors: Fon Sing Guillaume 
Published: June 2017

AbstractTypological approaches involving the study of Creole languages have long triggered an unsettled dispute among creolists. Some claim that Creoles do not differ from non-Creole languages, and can only be defined socio-historically and not structurally, while others claim that Creoles are ʺdistinctʺ in many respects, and/or form a special class with specific typological properties. In an attempt to settle this dispute,Bakker et al. (2011)drew on a phylogenetic approach to provide evidence that Creoles form a structurally distinguishable subgroup within the world’s languages. However, their methods and conclusions appear to be questionable, as they are likely to be flawed. Standing as a challenge to the aforementioned article, this paper will reconsider their methodological and empirical approaches by re-evaluating the sets of Creoles and non-Creoles on the basis of identical or near-identical principles. It will ultimately appear that their conclusion could be an artefact of the selection as well.

AbstractIn the present article we distinguish the concept ofecology of languageas articulated inMufwene (2001ff)from that ofecolinguisticsdeveloped especially byMühlhäusler (1996ff),Fill and Mühlhäusler (2001),Couto (2009), and several contributors toFill and Benz (to appear). We explain how Mufwene’secology of languageconcept, inspired primarily by macroecology, applies to language evolution. We articulate various factors internal and external to a language that bear on how it emerged phylogenetically, underwent particular structural changes, and, in some cases, may have speciated into separate varieties. The external ecology also influences the vitality of languages, rolling the dice on whether they thrive or are endangered. Because these particular phenomena have been elaborately discussed in Mufwene’s earlier publications, we devote more space to explaining how the notion oflanguage ecology, as others call it, also applies as a useful heuristic tool to qualitative sociolinguistics.
Sleeping with strangers
Authors: Benson Phil 
Published: June 2017

AbstractBased on narratives from Hong Kong students on one-semester programmes at universities in Australia, Britain and Canada, this study focused on the emotional charge of expectations and day-to-day realities of homestay. It showed how, for many of the students, this emotional charge was related to the adoption of imagined identities as family members within the homestay. It also showed how a corresponding sense of inclusion or exclusion could arise from recognition or non-recognition of these imagined identities. The students’ experiences of homestay were often shaped by an expectation that a degree of emotional intensity within a family environment would lead to a successful language learning experience. Paradoxically, emotionally disturbing experiences could also contribute to a positive overall experience from the student’s perspective, if they led to a stronger sense of emotional inclusion. The experience was least satisfying overall in homestays where students were unable to feel this sense of inclusion.
The personal, linguistic, and intercultural development of Chinese sojourners in an English-speaking country
Authors: Jackson Jane 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
The number of Chinese students who are joining international exchange programs has increased significantly in recent years, with the majority enrolling in English-medium courses in the host country. To better understand how to prepare and support their learning, the present study investigated the developmental trajectories of 149 students from a Hong Kong university who participated in a semester-long exchange program in an English-speaking country. By way of questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, and document analysis (e.g., study plans, responses to email prompts), this mixed methods inquiry tracked their evolving attitudes, motivation, and depth of investment in language and intercultural learning. As well as individual differences, the findings brought to light environmental factors that led to differing outcomes. While some participants developed more self-efficacy in English and meaningful intercultural friendships, others found it difficult to overcome language and cultural barriers, suggesting the need for interventions to bolster language enhancement and intercultural engagement.

AbstractThe Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC, www.patricbrc.org) is designed to provide researchers with the tools and services that they need to perform genomic and other ‘omic’ data analyses. In response to mounting concern over antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the PATRIC team has been developing new tools that help researchers understand AMR and its genetic determinants. To support comparative analyses, we have added AMR phenotype data to over 15 000 genomes in the PATRIC database, often assembling genomes from reads in public archives and collecting their associated AMR panel data from the literature to augment the collection. We have also been using this collection of AMR metadata to build machine learning-based classifiers that can predict the AMR phenotypes and the genomic regions associated with resistance for genomes being submitted to the annotation service. Likewise, we have undertaken a large AMR protein annotation effort by manually curating data from the literature and public repositories. This collection of 7370 AMR reference proteins, which contains many protein annotations (functional roles) that are unique to PATRIC and RAST, has been manually curated so that it projects stably across genomes. The collection currently projects to 1 610 744 proteins in the PATRIC database. Finally, the PATRIC Web site has been expanded to enable AMR-based custom page views so that researchers can easily explore AMR data and design experiments based on whole genomes or individual genes.

AbstractBackgroundA streamlined transition from inpatient to outpatient care can decrease 30-day readmissions. Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) programs have not reduced readmissions; an OPAT bundle has been suggested to improve outcomes. We implemented a transition-of-care (TOC) OPAT bundle and assessed the effects on all-cause, 30-day hospital readmission.MethodsRetrospectively, patients receiving postdischarge intravenous antibiotics were evaluated before and after implementation of a TOC-OPAT program in Bronx, New York, between July, 2015 and February, 2016. Pearson’s χ2 test was used to compare 30-day readmissions between groups, and logistic regression was used to adjust for covariates. Time from discharge to readmission was analyzed to assess readmission risk, using log-rank test to compare survival curves and Cox proportional hazards model to adjust for covariates. Secondary outcomes, 30-day emergency department (ED) visits, and mortality were analyzed similarly.ResultsCompared with previous standard care (n = 184), the TOC-OPAT group (n = 146) had significantly lower 30-day readmissions before (13.0% vs 26.1%, P &lt; .01) and after adjustment for covariates (odds ratio [OR] = 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27–0.94; P = .03). In time-dependent analyses, TOC-OPAT patients were at significantly lower risk for readmission (log-rank test, P &lt; .01; hazard ratio = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.32–0.97; P = .04). Propensity-matched sensitivity analysis showed lower readmissions in the TOC-OPAT group (13.6% vs 24.6%, P = .04), which was attenuated after adjustment (OR = 0.51; 95% CI, 0.25–1.05; P = .07). Mortality and ED visits were similar in both groups.ConclusionsOur TOC-OPAT patients had reduced 30-day readmissions compared with the previous standard of care. An effective TOC-OPAT bundle can successfully improve patient outcomes in an economically disadvantaged area.

Abstract
The Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) is an excellent survey for the search for strong lenses, thanks to its area, image quality, and depth. We use three different methods to look for lenses among 43000 luminous red galaxies from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) sample with photometry from the S16A internal data release of the HSC-SSP. The first method is a newly developed algorithm, named YattaLens, which looks for arc-like features around massive galaxies and then estimates the likelihood of an object being a lens by performing a lens model fit. The second method, Chitah, is a modeling-based algorithm originally developed to look for lensed quasars. The third method makes use of spectroscopic data to look for emission lines from objects at a different redshift from that of the main galaxy. We find 15 definite lenses, 36 highly probable lenses, and 282 possible lenses. Among the three methods, YattaLens, which was developed specifically for this study, performs best in terms of both completeness and purity. Nevertheless, five highly probable lenses were missed by YattaLens but found by the other two methods, indicating that the three methods are highly complementary. Based on these numbers, we expect to find ∼300 definite or probable lenses by the end of the HSC-SSP.
Acute A4 Pulley Reconstruction with a First Extensor Compartment Onlay Graft
Authors: Jakubietz Michael G. , Meffert Rainer H. , Schmidt Karsten , Gruenert Joerg G. , Jakubietz Rafael G. 
Published: June 2017

Background:
The integrity of the flexor tendon pulley apparatus is crucial for unimpaired function of the digits. Although secondary reconstruction is an established procedure in multi-pulley injuries, acute reconstruction of isolated, closed pulley ruptures is a rare occurrence. There are 3 factors influencing the functional outcome of a reconstruction: gapping distance between tendon and bone (E-space), bulkiness of the reconstruction, and stability. As direct repair is rarely done, grafts are used to reinforce the pulley. An advantage of the first extensor retinaculum graft is the synovial coating providing the possibility to be used both as a direct graft with synovial coating or as an onlay graft after removal of the synovia when the native synovial layer is present.

Methods:
A graft from the first dorsal extensor compartment is used as an onlay graft to reinforce the sutured A4 pulley. This technique allows reconstruction of the original dimensions of the pulley system while stability is ensured by anchoring the onlay graft to the bony insertions of the pulley.

Results:
Anatomical reconstruction can be achieved with this method. The measured E-space remained 0 mm throughout the recovery, while the graft incorporated as a slim reinforcement of the pulley, displaying no bulkiness.

Conclusions:
The ideal reconstruction should provide synovial coating and sufficient strength with minimal bulk. Early reconstruction using an onlay graft offers these options. The native synovial lining is preserved and the graft is used to reinforce the pulley.
