Published: November 2015

Objectives The aim of the study was to report the ultrasonographic and clinicopathological findings in cats with confirmed pyloroduodenal adenomatous polyps. Methods Clinicopathological data, ultrasonographic and histopathological findings were collected retrospectively from medical records. Results Pyloroduodenal polyps appeared as small moderately echogenic and homogeneous nodules filling most of the proximal duodenal or pyloroduodenal lumen. The most common presenting signs in this study included acute vomiting and anorexia in 4/6 cats and lethargy in 3/6 cats. Two cats presented with severe anemia, suggestive of active bleeding. One cat presented with increased bilirubin without anemia, suggestive of impaired bile flow. Five cats survived surgical removal of the polyp and were free of clinical signs 817 days after the procedure. Conclusions and relevance Pyloroduodenal polyps have subtle ultrasonographic changes that can easily be mistaken for ingesta. They are characterized by a discrete small (up to 1.5 cm in diameter) homogeneous echogenic nodule filling the pyloroduodenal lumen. Pyloroduodenal polyps are benign lesions but can cause severe clinical signs including gastrointestinal bleeding or biliary obstruction. The prognosis is excellent with surgical removal.
Occipital pressure sores in two neonates

Abstract
The preference for a specific head shape can be influenced by people’s culture, religious beliefs and race. Modern Chinese people prefer a “talented” head shape, which is rounded and has a long profile. To obtain their preferred head shape, some parents try to change their neonates’ sleeping position. Due to these forced sleeping positions, positional skull deformities, such as plagiocephaly, may be present during the first few months of life. In this article, we report two neonatal cases, of Hui nationality and Dongxiang nationality, with occipital pressure sores that were caused by using hard objects as pillows with the intention of obtaining a flattened occiput. The pressure sores were deep to the occipital bone and needed surgical management. These pressure sores caused wounds that were repaired by local skin flaps, after debridement, and the use of external constraints from a dense sponge-made head frame for approximately two weeks. One case recovered with primary healing after surgical operation. The other case suffered from a disruption of the sutured wound, and a secondary operation was performed to cover the wound. These occipital pressure sores are avoidable by providing guidance to the parents in ethnic minorities’ area regarding the prevention, diagnosis and management of positional skull deformity.
Medium-frequency electromagnetic device to measure electric conductivity and dielectric permittivity of soils

An electromagnetic (EM) tool working in the medium-frequency range allows the determination of the electric conductivity and dielectric permittivity of soils with a single measurement. It brings information about different state parameters of soils, especially their water and clay contents for a significant volume of investigation. To investigate these properties, a medium-frequency-range EM prototype, the CE120, was built using a perpendicular coil Slingram configuration with a working frequency of 1.56 MHz and a fixed coil spacing of 1.2 m. This configuration was chosen using modeling with the purpose of measuring electric resistivities up to a few thousands of ohm-meters and relative dielectric permittivities as low as two. These thresholds match the expected parameters values in the medium frequency range. Moreover, the CE120 characteristics allowed for an investigation depth between 2 and 2.5 m, depending on the nature of the soil. The prototype was tested on two different soils with water variations: sandy alluvia and clay-loam soil. The electric resistivities of the sandy alluvia can reach [Formula: see text], which is higher than the detection threshold of the CE120. Only the measured dielectric permittivity can be interpreted in terms of water contrasts. Four different zones corresponding to four different water contents were detected. For the clay-loam soil, the electric conductivity and dielectric permittivity measure the water content variations created by the wheat roots. At 1.56 MHz, the high-frequency equations linking the dielectric permittivity to the volumetric water content have a limited validity. Laboratory measurements for each different soil type are necessary to deduce empirical relations. In both cases, the results are coherent with the measured mass water content variations.
Understanding Eliot: Mass Media and Literary Modernism in the American Century
Authors: Harris Donal 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
T. S. Eliot’s extraordinary popularity in the United States during the late 1940s and the 1950s rests in part on how mass-market magazines like Time and Life reinterpreted his poetry from the 1920s as transparent, realistic, and, most strikingly, American. These magazines widely circulated Eliot’s prewar poetry, especially The Waste Land, as an allegory of the crisis in national and nationalist culture during the “American Century,” a term coined by Henry Luce in 1941. The articles about and reproductions of Eliot’s work leading up to his Nobel Prize in 1948 not only figure literary modernism as part of the “vital center” of Cold War politics but, improbably, position postwar nationalist anxiety as a version of modernist ennui. This unlikely picture of an American Eliot exposes a momentary reinterpretation of modernism as inherently nationalist in postwar periodical culture, while it also suggests the possible critical payoff of taking failed readings seriously.
Moving Transgender Histories
Authors: Crandall Maxe , Schwartz Selby Wynn 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article explores the performance practices of Sean Dorsey, modern dance's first out transgender choreographer, in order to consider one embodied strategy for staging transgender histories. Utilizing extant LGBTQ archives, and then collecting oral histories himself, Dorsey develops a trans archival practice founded in collaboration, an ethic of care, and grassroots activism that he extends into live performance. Tracing the arc of Dorsey's practice in generating choreography from the archive, the authors ask how embodied artists move with history and consider his dance performance as a site of historical production.
The Emergence of a Grassroots African Trans Archive
Authors: Theron Liesl , Kgositau Tshepo Ricki 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThis paper demonstrates the enthusiasm of the young trans movement in sub-Saharan Africa. The rich history of the struggles and successes of various trans-related events and work in the African continent has not been documented. With this first publication, which forms part of the larger collection of an African trans archive, the authors provide a credible reference source to those doing research on, working with, or interested in knowing some of the history of African trans and gender-nonconforming persons, communities, and movements. A brief reflection into apartheid South Africa and the lives of trans people before democracy leads to a short description how Gender DynamiX, while only in its emerging stage, embarked in archiving and documenting material and history of trans people throughout the country. This placed Gender DynamiX as the key witness of the emergence of the first trans movement in sub-Saharan Africa.
Trans* Collecting at the Schlesinger Library
Authors: Peimer Laura 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article discusses how the Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America has addressed issues related to privacy, access, and description with three of its trans* collections: The Ari Kane Papers, the International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE) Records, and the Mark Ethan Smith Papers. The Kane Papers and the IFGE Records contain extensive materials with potentially sensitive third party content. While legally most personal third party content can be made available to users, librarians and archivists have an ethical responsibility to take personal privacy into consideration when determining how open a collection should be to users. This article also touches upon the limitations of the Library of Congress subject headings for the Smith Papers, acknowledging the challenges of applying these subject headings to describe an individual whose identity falls outside their limited scope.
Using Archives to Identify the Trans* Women of Casa Susanna
Authors: Davis Bob 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
The publication in 2005 of a book of found photographs focused attention on a rural cross-dressers' resort in New York's Catskill Mountains named “Casa Susanna.” At the time of publication, the editors knew very little about the people in the photographs, and no one was identified. Interest in these anonymous trans* women intensified when playwright Harvey Fierstein's play, Casa Valentina, based on Casa Susanna, opened on Broadway nine years later. This article discusses how magazines, photographs, newsletters, private correspondence, and personal ads in private and institutional trans* archives can be used to identify these trans* women and other members of the early MtF cross-dressing community. It proposes a research methodology that uses aliases and identification codes, originally intended for protection and anonymity, to connect archival holdings to individuals, deepening our understanding of the lived experience of early community members.
Anxiety at the Archive
Authors: Joynt Chase , Schilt Kristen 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
This article is a piece of experimental writing by Chase Joynt, a moving-image artist and writer, and Kristen Schilt, a professor of sociology. In this short piece, the authors track their affective and experiential engagements with objects found in the archives of Robert J. Stoller, a psychiatrist who helmed the Gender Identity Clinic at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the 1950s–70s and who was a key figure in the medicalization of transsexuality. Through daily free-write sessions in the archives, Joynt and Schilt managed the emotional tensions that emerged from their political, personal, and disciplinary investments as scholars and as individuals. These writings seek to consider various pieces of the Stoller archive through highlighting historical and political fissures, missing pieces, and affective responses.
“This Is Not a Girl”
Authors: Edwards Rebekah 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
In 1917 San Francisco Police Chief Jesse Brown Cook pasted a photograph of Garaldine Portica into his personal scrapbook, annotating it as a document of arrest, deportation, and gender transgression. This essay situates that document within the coconstitutive forces of personal and public narrations of embodiment, identity, and nation in the United States in the early twentieth century. While Cook's annotation is concerned with narrating the gender transgression of a body that did not yet exist under the sign of “trans*,” this essay's counterarchival methodology treats that body, or at least the Portica/Cook document, as an object for inclusion in a future trans* archive and as an appropriate object of study for an exploration of trans* archival praxis. It suggests that trans* archival methodologies that seek to recuperate or resignify documents produced in the service of regulatory/judicial/medical archives are engaged with reading the negation animating these artifacts as the very sign of their (now) trans* signification.
In Herzog's Hands
Authors: Mathiason Jessica Lee 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
In her critical review of Katie Herzog's art installation Transtextuality (Senate Bill 48), Jessica Lee Mathiason argues that the artist's collection of forty-eight portraits transforms the archive into an artwork while questioning institutional boundaries and disrupting its previous stability, position, and purpose. A reimagining of Gerhard Richter's 1972 installation of 48 Portraits of men of letters, Herzog's piece sets itself apart from the original through its commitment to materiality. While Richter removed all brushstrokes from his portraits, making them closely resemble the encyclopedia photographs he used as models, Herzog instead embraces the hand with her long, sweeping, and visible strokes. Using her unmistakable indentations, daring lines, and stylized portraiture to foreground the contractedness of art and the archive, Herzog challenges Richter's methodology and disciplinary modes of historiography, which have systematically excluded LGBT persons from our encyclopedias, textbooks, and collective memory.
‘Fighting for care’: parents' perspectives of children's palliative care in South Tyrol, Italy
Authors: Darbyshire Philip , Mischo-Kelling Maria , Lochner Lukas , Messerschmidt-Grandi Caterina 
Published: November 2015

Background: Children's palliative care in Italy develops comparatively slowly. Recent legislation is enabling, but foundational research exploring parental experiences and perceptions is lacking. Aim: To investigate the experiences and perceptions of parents in South Tyrol, Italy regarding caring for a child with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness. Design: A mixed qualitative design incorporated both an online survey and parent interviews. Using purposive sampling, 13 parents undertook 9 interviews and 7 parents completed the survey. Results: The authors highlight a major parental theme describing difficult relationships with health services requiring them to ‘fight the system’ for services. Discussion: The authors raise a disturbing possibility that such ‘fighting the system’ is now so widely recognised worldwide that it cannot be considered to be accidental. Conclusion: The authors recommend the establishment of a specialist, dedicated paediatric palliative care service in South Tyrol with the international recognised values and operating standards that would render such parental ‘fighting’ unnecessary.
Communication differences when patients and caregivers are seen separately or together
Authors: Swetenham Kate , Tieman Jennifer , Butow Phyllis , Currow David 
Published: November 2015

Background: Southern Adelaide Palliative Care Services introduced a nurse-led early introduction to a palliative care clinic in 2011. The clinic offers a thorough psychosocial assessment and the provision of information and an introduction to future care planning. The patients and their caregivers are seen together by the nurse practitioner initially for a physical assessment. They are then seen by a social worker to focus on advanced care planning and assessment of social and emotional factors. After the social work visit, the patient and caregiver are separated, and the patient sees the psychosocial nurse for coping and adjustment to illness and the carer sees the caregiver network facilitator to assess their informal supports to assist in the role of community-based caregiving. The pilot study looks at the nature of communication in the clinic where patient and carer are together and compares that to when they are separated. Methods: A total of 33 patients and their caregivers agreed for their coversations to be tape recorded between May and November of 2013. All tape recordings were transcribed verbatim. Ten patient transcripts (n=40) have been coded for quantitative analysis. The codes identify content and function of speech, cues for information and emotion and whether they are responded to by clinicians. Results: Pilot results reveal that caregivers contribute little in the combined clinics and dominate the conversation in the private clinic. Patients, when seen alone, predominantly express emotion related cues, opposed to cues for information. The clinicians focus on their area of specialty, which results in little duplication in this clinic setting. Conclusion: An earlier evaluation of this clinic found that patients and their caregivers appreciate being separated in the clinic setting to have time and privacy to reveal fears and feelings related to end-of-life care. This current study quantifies the patient and caregiver experience and confirms those earlier findings.

This short article is aimed at anyone who attends training courses including mandatory, induction, CPD, management and clinical skills, and explores the theory of evaluation and its benefit in adding depth and value to all training purposes.
A brief history of analgesia in paramedic practice
Authors: Lord Bill , Nicholls Tracy 
Published: November 2015

Paramedics and ambulance clinicians have an important role in alleviating pain. However, clinician-initiated analgesia has a relatively short history when compared with the field of medicine. Several barriers to the introduction of pharmacological options for the management of pain appear to have delayed the introduction of options for managing severe pain. These include legislative restrictions as well as concerns about the adverse effects of analgesics. This report describes the history of analgesia in paramedic or ambulance practice in the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia in order to add to the knowledge base for this profession, and to inform the development of strategies to advance pain management practice.
A critical appraisal of the impact of Section 3 of the Mental Capacity Act (2005)
Authors: Amblum Jeshni 
Published: November 2015

Paramedic's have verbalised uncertainty on how to proceed when treating unwell patients who refuse treatment, stating that they feel ill-equipped to interpret situations when patients refuse treatment. They expressed a need to be formally trained in how to systematically, yet quickly, assess a patient's capacity, rather than relying on intuition or opting out with the ‘take them to hospital’ approach, as they report it is better to face the accusation of assault or battery, than allegations of negligence. This article will explore the appropriate mechanisms and approach for the assessment of capacity in emergency situations. Capacity will be defined according to the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (c.9), with an explanation of consent and the particular difficulties faced by paramedics in the assessment of capacity in an emergency will be identified and analysed.

Recipe for success: baking in Boston strong-observations on Boston's success
Authors: Lord Gregg 
Published: November 2015

On 15 April 2013 at 14:29 hours, two improvised explosive devices (IED) exploded within 15 seconds of each other in Boston. The explosions occurred approximately 200 yards apart at the Boston Marathon finish line. In the follow on to the event it became quickly apparent that Boston EMS, in collaboration with the health community had achieved, by any standard, an effective response. One determining factor was the survival of victims; in Boston no victims died who survived the initial blast. This success did not happen by chance. In the wake and review of the events it became apparent that the successful response during the Boston Marathon was the result of decades of preparedness. This article will not dwell on the actual response events as other reports and articles have done that well. The intent is to discuss the underlying principles that led to a successful response by Boston EMS and the other parts of the community response system. As will be discussed, the whole community of Boston participated in not only the response that day, but was integral parts of the recipe that created such a successful response.
Documentation: are we writing it right?
Authors: Eaton Georgette 
Published: November 2015

While the need to keep accurate patient records is acknowledged by the bodies that govern healthcare practice, there is currently little evidence to support a specific standard of record keeping, with advice on following one of several recognised models. For many ambulance Trusts, documentation guidelines are based on expert opinion of what should constitute good medical records and documentation, but this can vary from region to region. However, whichever model is used, there are several core principles that should be used when writing medical documentation. This article aims to provide ambulance staff with general information on documentation in an attempt to enable readers to understand why records are kept, the standard to which records should be kept, and the legal and regulatory issues relating to record-keeping for paramedics.
Does adrenaline improve long-term outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
Authors: Nolan Jerry P 
Published: November 2015

Adrenaline has been an integral component of advanced life support from the birth of modern cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the early 1960s. The findings from randomised trials and observational studies indicate that giving adrenaline in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) increases the rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) but that longer-term outcomes (survival to hospital discharge and neurologically favourable survival) are either worse or, at best, neutral. PARAMEDIC2: The Adrenaline Trial should answer once and for all the question of whether giving doses of adrenaline 1 mg during CPR improves long-term outcome from OHCA. As such, it is the most important cardiac arrest research study ever to be undertaken in the United Kingdom.
Mass-gathering medical care: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Sami Amtul Salam , Ahmed Nida , Ahmad Syed Muzaffer 
Published: November 2015

Background: Patient care at mass-gathering events presents a unique challenge both in terms of organisation and the delivery of care. Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of women and children attending the designated first aid area of a large-scale international annual religious event in Alton, Hampshire in the United Kingdom (UK). Data analysis was done for the years 2011–2013, inclusive. Results: There was a consistent increase in attendees with an associated rise in the total number of patients. The top 10 medical conditions encountered remained similar throughout the years 2011–2013. There was a significant burden of chronic conditions in our cohort. Conclusions: This study adds to the body of knowledge by providing conditions that are commonly seen in a large-scale mass gathering setting. The patient demographic highlighted in the results can be used to plan and prepare for future mass gatherings in many different contexts.
