57 Background: Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) protocols currently include steroids during induction therapy, which may lead to hyperglycemia. Published pediatric and adult leukemia data demonstrate increased rates of infection and mortality associated with hyperglycemia. Presently, there are no accepted recommendations for how to track blood glucose (BG) levels, so hyperglycemia may go undetected. A random review of 20 patients diagnosed with ALL during a 4-month period in 2014 at Texas Children’s Cancer Center (TXCCC) demonstrated that only 40% had BG checked throughout induction. The SMART aim of this quality improvement project was to increase BG screening rates to > 95% during first week of treatment and induction days 8, 15, 22 and 29 for patients with newly diagnosed ALL at TXCCC in a 15-month period. Methods: PDSA cycle 1 involved sticker reminders on treatment roadmaps by days that required a BG check. PDSA cycle 2 entailed reminder flyers in patient care areas and no further roadmap stickers. Primary outcome measure was the percentage of successful occurrences for BG checks on days 8, 15, 22, 29. Secondary outcome measure was the percentage of patients who needed insulin therapy. Results: TXCCC had 97 new ALL patients during March 2015 to May 2016. Providers obtained 333 of 372 possible BG checks (90%) on days 8, 15, 22, 29. Thirty-nine percent of patients developed hyperglycemia ≥ 200 mg/dL. Eighteen percent patients required insulin therapy. Eighty-nine percent of patients had their peak blood glucose by day 8, and 82% of patients who required insulin were started on insulin prior to day 8. Conclusions: We improved hyperglycemia screening rates for TXCCC ALL patients in induction from 40% to 90% by implementing reminder processes for providers. The roadmap stickers were replaced with reminder flyers for sustainability. Because the peak BG was reached by 89% of patients by day 8 of therapy, our efforts are now being directed at improving screening and interventions prior to day 8. Our goal is to standardize BG screening and hyperglycemia intervention algorithms to decrease both the time-to-initiation for insulin and readmission rate for symptomatic hyperglycemia for ALL patients at TXCCC.
Use of patient-reported outcome measures in Quality Oncology Practice Initiative registered practices: Results of a national survey.
Authors: Zhang Biqi , Lloyd Whitney , Jahanzeb Mohammad , Hassett Michael J. 
Published: April 2017

81 Background: Measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) improves the experience of care and reduces the burden of disease for cancer patients. Professional societies, including ASCO, encourage the collection of PROs, but little is known about how many practices collect PROs and, if so, which PROs are measured and what challenges are met in implementation. Methods: We surveyed Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) registered practices to understand the current state of PROs use and identify areas where greater support for PROs implementation may be needed. One respondent from each practice was invited to complete an online survey that assessed views regarding PROs and challenges with implementation. Non-users were asked about their interest in and barriers to future collection of PROs. Results: Of 233 practices that viewed the request to participate, 109 completed the survey (47%). Most responding practices (73%) currently collect PROs. Of these, 79% are affiliated with hospitals/medical centers, 50% have > 10 advanced practice providers, and 94% use electronic health records. PROs users see a higher volume of patients per week than non-users (p < 0.01). QOPI-registered practices collect a wide variety of PROs, including validated and home-grown questionnaires. The most commonly measured PROs are distress (78%), symptom assessment (76%), and experience/satisfaction (70%). The most frequently reported implementation challenges were the same for users and non-users: patient unwillingness to complete questionnaires (34%) and insufficient staff to support collection (29%). Despite only moderate perceived patient willingness to answer PROs (2.67/5), 79% of all practices believe collecting PROs is a high priority. Conclusions: While many QOPI practices have implemented PROs, substantial barriers to implementation are apparent and may be limiting more wide-spread adoption. Efforts to identify which PROs most improve care quality are sorely needed. Sharing best practices on improving patient/provider buy-in and enabling efficient integration of PROs into clinic workflow may also facilitate adoption and maximize the utility of PROs for oncology practices.
Bell’s Palsy
Authors: Reich Stephen G. 
Published: April 2017

ABSTRACTPurpose of Review:Bell’s palsy is a common outpatient problem, and while the diagnosis is usually straightforward, a number of diagnostic pitfalls can occur, and a lengthy differential diagnosis exists. Recognition and management of Bell’s palsy relies on knowledge of the anatomy and function of the various motor and nonmotor components of the facial nerve. Avoiding diagnostic pitfalls relies on recognizing red flags or features atypical for Bell’s palsy, suggesting an alternative cause of peripheral facial palsy.Recent Findings:The first American Academy of Neurology (AAN) evidence-based review on the treatment of Bell’s palsy in 2001 concluded that corticosteroids were probably effective and that the antiviral acyclovir was possibly effective in increasing the likelihood of a complete recovery from Bell’s palsy. Subsequent studies led to a revision of these recommendations in the 2012 evidence-based review, concluding that corticosteroids, when used shortly after the onset of Bell’s palsy, were “highly likely” to increase the probability of recovery of facial weakness and should be offered; the addition of an antiviral to steroids may increase the likelihood of recovery but, if so, only by a very modest effect.Summary:Bell’s palsy is characterized by the spontaneous acute onset of unilateral peripheral facial paresis or palsy in isolation, meaning that no features from the history, neurologic examination, or head and neck examination suggest a specific or alternative cause. In this setting, no further testing is necessary. Even without treatment, the outcome of Bell’s palsy is favorable, but treatment with corticosteroids significantly increases the likelihood of improvement.
Patent Citations—An Analysis of Quality Differences and Citing Practices in Hybrid Corn
Authors: Moser Petra , Ohmstedt Joerg , Rhode Paul W. 
Published: April 2017

A growing empirical literature uses patent citations as a quality-adjusted measure for innovation, despite concerns about the validity of this measure. This paper links patents with objective measures of improvements in the quality of patented inventions—measured through performance in field trials for hybrid corn—to examine three potential factors that influence citations: (1) improvements in performance, (2) citing practices of patent attorneys, and (3) citing practices of patent examiners. This analysis reveals that citations are robustly correlated with performance, which confirms that citations are a useful quality-adjusted measure for innovation. The citing practices of patent attorneys and examiners, however, also influence citations. Patent attorneys cite early patents, which help establish the patentability of an invention; this practice may inflate citation counts for early patents, particularly for inventions that have only recently become patentable. Attorneys also add self-citations; our analysis indicates that self-citations are an indicator of follow-on invention. By comparison, examiner-added citations are typically unrelated to improvements in performance or follow-on invention.

Cost-of-illness studies in chronic ulcers: a systematic review
Authors: Chan B. , Cadarette S. , Wodchis W. , Wong J. , Mittmann N. , Krahn M. 
Published: April 2017

Objective: To systematically review the published academic literature on the cost of chronic ulcers. Methods: A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, HealthSTAR, Econlit and CINAHL up to 12 May 2016 to identify potential studies for review. Cost search terms were based on validated algorithms. Clinical search terms were based on recent Cochrane reviews of interventions for chronic ulcers. Titles and abstracts were screened by two reviewers to determine eligibility for full text review. Study characteristics were summarised. The quality of reporting was evaluated using a modified cost-of-illness checklist. Mean costs were adjusted and inflated to 2015 $US and presented for different durations and perspectives. Results: Of 2267 studies identified, 36 were eligible and included in the systematic review. Most studies presented results from the health-care public payer or hospital perspective. Many studies included hospital costs in the analysis and only reported total costs without presenting condition-specific attributable costs. The mean cost of chronic ulcers ranged from $1000 per year for patient out of pocket costs to $30,000 per episode from the health-care public payer perspective. Mean one year cost from a health-care public payer perspective was $44,200 for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), $15,400 for pressure ulcer (PU) and $11,000 for leg ulcer (LU). Conclusions: There was large variability in study methods, perspectives, cost components and jurisdictions, making interpretation of costs difficult. Nevertheless, it appears that the cost for the treatment of chronic ulcers is substantial and greater attention needs to be made for preventive measures.
Towards flow: Cross-stitching poetry
Authors: Rissanen Timo 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
This portrait describes the author’s recent transition from fashion design to hand embroidery, in particular poetry cross-stitched by hand. The transition is underpinned by the author’s background in sustainability in fashion and textiles, and it is partly driven as a response to recent political developments in the United States. Craft becomes a potent site for political activism in the form of cross-stitched poetry. Poetry allows an economy of words difficult to achieve through other modes of writing, and it complements the author’s conventional academic writing. The cross-stitch poetry methods comprise both digital and manual spaces; digital tools are crucial to the author’s process of hand embroidery. The slow pace of hand stitching affords meditation on each letter and word, as a counterpoint to the urgency of most written communication today. This pace is an access to ‘nature’s time’, as an alternative to a pace of working primarily based on efficiency or productivity. Colonization, as a white person in Native spaces and as a male in traditionally female spaces, is in constant negotiation in the author’s work; as a white male it is easy, even automatic, to be the dominator, the colonizer. Nonetheless the author sees cross-stitch as a potent medium for taking a stand on injustice.
The absent shadow: Reflections on the incidence of menswear in recent fashion exhibitions
Authors: Horsley Jeffrey 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
This article examines the incidence of menswear in fashion exhibitions, staged worldwide, over the past 45 years. Drawing on two related sets of data I delineate statistical and thematic tendencies relating to the exhibition of menswear and, through examination of a sample of exhibitions visited, I reflect on the inclusion of menswear in fashion exhibitions in relation to a defined typology of fashion exhibitions. Subsequently, I discuss in detail the presence and presentation of menswear in one particular fashion exhibition type – the designer monograph. The article is completed with analysis of Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear 1715–2015, a recent major exhibition dedicated to menswear.
Fancy dress: The uniform, the prime minister and the Empire
Authors: Pfennigwerth Stephanie 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
In 2013 the Museum of Australian Democracy acquired a bicorn hat and a tattered, stained coatee: the last surviving components of the first-class civil uniform of Australia’s first prime minister, Sir Edmund Barton (1849–1920). Sir Edmund was a Privy Councillor and wore this uniform at the Coronation of Edward VII in London in 1902. He also wore it at a number of other events including an investiture ceremony which, The Australasian reported, ‘was like a fancy-dress ball, in which the men were the chief figures’. This article discusses the process and deliberations surrounding the preparation of Sir Edmund’s uniform and its narrative for exhibition. It documents how historical and conservation research into the provenance and materiality of the uniform created the basis for an examination of Imperial dress protocols and practises, and Australia’s ties to the British Empire. The article will also discuss how the uniform – unravelled, deconstructed, stabilized and reassembled – provided intimate evidence of under-explored aspects of Sir Edmund’s personality, activities and contribution to Australian social and political history.
Social change and teaching and learning citizenship education: An empirical study of three schools in Guangzhou, China
Authors: Law Wing-Wah , Xu Shuqin 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Since the 1980s, China has increased its openness to the world and made tremendous domestic economic and social changes. This study investigates the relationship between social change and pedagogies in citizenship education (CE) and to what extent indoctrination is prevalent in CE in schools in Guangzhou, China. Data were drawn mainly from documents, student questionnaires, observed CE lessons, and interviews with students and CE teachers. Findings revealed the coexistence of various CE pedagogies (e.g., inculcation; values clarification; inquiry-based); perceived open and free classrooms in which students expressed and respected diverse views; rote learning for examination, not political, purposes; and teachers’ tension between reluctantly teaching politically sensitive topics and promoting multiple perspectives to foster critical thinking. These findings may reflect the complex interplay among different actors in the reselection of CE elements and pedagogies, in response to China’s gradual, post-1980s social transition to a less restrictive, more accommodating society.

Plural Diplomacies Between Indian Termination and the Cold War: Contemporary American Indian Paintings in the ‘Near East’, 1964–66
Authors: Horton Jessica L. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
From 1964 to 1966, the United States Information Agency toured an exhibition of modern artworks titled Contemporary American Indian Paintings to Greece, Turkey, Iran, Algeria and Israel. Among other exhibitions of Native American art sent abroad during the Cold War, the paintings were intended to counter Soviet critiques of US colonization with a message of benevolent modernization, while deflecting international attention away from Indigenous decolonization struggles. This article positions the tour between federal Indian termination policy and Cold War propaganda, considering how Contemporary American Indian Paintings quietly slipped Native American diplomatic concerns into a global arena shaped by imperialism.
The Art of Soft Power at Expo 67: Creative America and Cultural Diplomacy in the US Pavilion
Authors: McKercher Asa 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
At Expo 67 in Montreal, the US government sought to counter negative world opinion by sponsoring a public diplomacy display that emphasized American culture. While US technological achievements were championed in a space exhibit, the bulk of the Creative America exhibition celebrated American popular culture, a break from the typical focus of such displays upon economic and military power. Not only did Creative America celebrate Hollywood, folk art and pop music, it also offered a subtle critique of American mass culture, a particular point of emphasis in the pop art featured in American Painting Now. This embrace of pop art marked a shift in US government cultural diplomacy away from abstract expressionism, an art form supported for its embrace of freedom. In highlighting pop art, American cultural diplomacy emphasized freedom of expression in a different way: the freedom to criticize one’s own society.
Gypsy, June, and the lawyers: Legal negotiation as collaboration
Authors: Pribyl Ashley M. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Using the 1959 musical Gypsy as a case study, this article attempts to broaden the current understanding of collaboration to include non-creative actors. Drawing on a variety of archival sources including legal documents, date books, and private letters, the study reveals the extent that Gypsy Rose Lee’s sister June Havoc intervened during the creation of the show and the resultant strife between the creative and management/legal teams. These documents reveal the important role producers and lawyers play in the creative process and why, from Havoc’s perspective, legal action was the only recourse available to influence the content of a show being made by men she perceived as indifferent to her own story.
Flesh-coloured tights in space: Intersections of spectacular corporeality and visuality in The Seven Sisters
Authors: Singer Elyse 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
This article examines the intersections between female performing bodies and stage spectacle in The Seven Sisters, Laura Keene’s 1860 musical extravaganza. In its consideration of patriotic tableaux, precision dance numbers, and the grand transformation scene, the essay suggests relationships between visuality, corporeality and aesthetics at a significant turning point in the development of American popular culture that overlapped with the Civil War. The article argues that contemporary media theories may provide a lens for looking at different historical body-to-spatial models featuring nascent American chorus girls, and locates moments of affect and subjectivity on the part of the performers.
Celebrating heteroglossic hybridity: Ready-to-assemble Broadway-style musicals in South Korea
Authors: Kim Hyewon 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
British and American musical theatre has made a major contribution to the globalization of musical theatre at large, and the way in which it has been remounted and circulated in international productions has recently caught the attention of scholars. This has been particularly the case when ready-to-assemble replica Broadway-style productions have been remounted. In these productions, shows have been duplicated, from stage props and blocking to the intonation of lines, rather than having their material adapted by taking into consideration the different cultures, historical contexts and audiences. The only two elements in international remountings that are not duplicated are the performers and language; accordingly, translation of the source language into the local language becomes the cardinal factor in local audience reception. This article investigates Korean remountings of the West-End-originated, Broadway-style The Phantom of the Opera (2001), using this as a case study to illuminate a larger and multivocal debate on the remounting of international productions of Broadway-style musicals. It is my attempt to further strengthen Bruce Kirle’s emphasis on the incompleteness of theatrical texts by expanding Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories on heteroglossia and creative understanding to musical theatre, in order to argue that these two concepts serve as powerful indicators of the translation of international Broadway-style musical remountings.

Exploring the elusive shape of service outcomes: Reflections on evaluating academic language and learning support services
Authors: Gao Xiaodan , Reid Kirsten 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Student Learning Te Taiako at Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand) provides academic learning support for tertiary students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. As part of good practice and for the purpose of continual improvement of service quality, service and programme evaluations are regularly conducted. These evaluations include the end of year Student Learning Survey and bi-annual peer observations and tend to focus on student satisfaction and/or perceptions of the services and programmes offered. More recently, in response to the New Zealand government’s call for tertiary education institutions (TEIs) to report on their services and the outcomes of these services, Student Learning has been looking at ways in which evaluations can be carried out over and above student numbers and satisfaction. The purpose of this article is to reflect on and redefine evaluations at Student Learning Te Taiako. The article argues that, instead of chasing evidence to show direct contribution to student outcomes, a more structured approach to evaluation should be taken and a comprehensive set of evidence/data provided to demonstrate the contribution of academic learning advising to the overall student learning experience.
A flowing culture: Images of early Gujarati Indian-Islamic migrants in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Patel Rafik 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990) sets up an imaginative tale of a father and son’s journey in search of happiness. In this fictional reality the ocean is filled with a sea of stories that manifest the hope of a new beginning. This story also takes the reader on a whimsical journey that is non-linear. It sways back and forth like the currents of the ocean, and its allegory transcends the ocean as a vessel that contains important narratives and knowledge, and as a spatial medium to cross borders and boundaries. Considering this allegory, this article presents an auto-ethnography in relation to migration of the first Gujarati Indian families to arrive in Aotearoa New Zealand, in the early 1900s. It discusses how these families integrated and began to construct and grow a new community within. Thus, this article attempts to uncover stories and a history of migration of the author’s own family that flowed from South Asia to the Pacific, transferring a rich culture of Indian-Muslim faith, practice and architecture.
