Published: May 2016

Introduction: Data regarding the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) in contemporary routine care are scarce. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing PMT of native lower limb acutely/subacutely occluded arteries were included. Results: In all, 525 consecutive patients were available for analysis with a mean age of 66.7 ± 10.7 years. Almost two-third (n = 324; 61.7%) were men with acutely (n = 211; 40.2%) or subacutely (n = 314; 59.8%) occluded lesions presenting mostly in Rutherford-Becker category (RBC): 3 (30.3%) and 4 (47.6%). Mean lesion length was 159 mm (range 22-279 mm), with moderate and severe calcification in 119 (23.3%) lesions. PMT was performed solely in 161(27.2%), PMT + balloon angioplasty in 232 (39.1%), provisional stenting in 169 (28.4%), and thrombolysis in 77 (13.9%) interventions. Procedural technical success rate was 97.7%, with improvement in RBC persisting in 74.1% of patients after 12 ± 2.4 months mean time follow-up. Overall 30 days major adverse events (MAEs) was 6.9% with a mortality rate of 1.1%. No death was directly related to the device. After 12 months, a promising overall target lesion revascularization (TLR; 10.1%), non-TLR (6.6%), and major amputation rates (2.3%) were found. One-year mortality was 8%. Conclusion: Treatment with PMT resulted in clinic and hemodynamic improvement in the majority of patients, thereby reducing the need for thrombolysis in a significant proportion of patients. Prospective studies in this issue are recommended.
Fever, confusion, acute kidney injury: is this atypical neuroleptic malignant syndrome following polypharmacy with clozapine and risperidone?
Authors: Cherry Scott , Siskind Dan , Spivak Valeria , Wysoczanski Daniel , Halangoda Priyangika 
Published: May 2016

Objective: Clozapine is the gold-standard antipsychotic medication for treatment-refractory schizophrenia (TRS). However, one potentially lethal side effect of clozapine, as with other antipsychotics, is neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) which could present differently in clozapine therapy. ‘Atypical NMS’ is a recognised variant of NMS with less rigidity and delayed elevation of creatine kinase; this variant is associated with clozapine. Method: A case from the author’s clinical practice was reviewed. Results: A 67-year-old man with TRS was treated with clozapine. Unfortunately, his physical condition deteriorated and he presented with atypical NMS, which initially was treated as presumable urinary tract infection. Conclusions: Atypical NMS is associated with clozapine. This case exposes the potential difficulties in diagnosis, and highlights the importance of considering less common diagnoses in acutely unwell psychiatric patients.
Cytomegalovirus Scrotal Ulcer in a Renal Transplant Patient
Authors: Pinca Rebeca , Crawford Richard I. , Au Sheila 
Published: May 2016

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a highly prevalent herpesvirus that can present with cutaneous disease in immunocompromised individuals. This may reflect systemic involvement, which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Objective: To report a case of cutaneous CMV in an immunocompromised patient and to discuss the differential diagnosis of genital ulcers. Methods: A medical chart review was conducted on a patient who presented with a scrotal ulcer after renal transplantation. A review of the literature on cutaneous CMV disease was also completed. Results: Biopsy of the scrotal ulcer revealed classic findings of CMV disease. The patient also developed CMV viremia. Treatment with valganciclovir resolved his scrotal ulcer and viremia. Conclusion: The differential diagnosis for genital ulcers is broad, especially in the immunocompromised patient. Cutaneous CMV disease should be ruled out with biopsy and immunohistochemical examination in immunocompromised patients, as it may reflect systemic involvement and significantly affect patient care.
Following the trend for a comprehensive healthy workplace in Taiwan
Authors: Chen Ruey-Yu , Yu Li-Hui 
Published: May 2016

To promote workers’ health and boost corporate productivity and national competitiveness, workplace health promotion is an international trend and a vital part of national policies. Prior to 2000, Taiwan’s workplace issues focused on industrial hygiene and safety improvements. Since 2003, the Health Promotion Administration (HPA) at the Ministry of Health and Welfare has established coaching centers for workplace health promotion and dispatched trained experts for teaching health promotion skills; including promoting the tobacco control program, preventing important chronic diseases, driving comprehensive programs, advocating workplace health promotion with the Ministry of Labor, establishing certification mechanisms for workplace health promotion, recognizing outstanding health-promoting workplaces, and conducting a nationwide survey for monitoring the practices of healthy behaviors and health conditions of workers. Through 2014, 12,439 workplaces have been accredited. Since 2003, the efforts of the HPA in workplace health promotion projects has shifted society’s focus on workplace health from occupational diseases and injury prevention to workplace health promotion, resulting in the revision of the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 2013 by the Ministry of Labor to detail employers’ responsibilities in protecting and promoting employees’ health and well-being.
Health-promoting educational settings in Taiwan: development and evaluation of the Health-Promoting School Accreditation System
Authors: Chen Fu-Li , Lee Albert 
Published: May 2016

Introduction: The Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare and Ministry of Education launched the Health-Promoting School (HPS) program in 2002. One of the most significant barriers to evaluating HPS is the absence of adequate instruments. The main aim of this study is to develop the Taiwan Health-Promoting School Accreditation System (HPSAS) framework and then evaluate its accreditation effectiveness. Methods: The HPSAS accreditation standards were derived mainly from the World Health Organization (WHO) publication, WHO Health Promoting Schools: A Framework for Action in 2008 and the Taiwan School Health Act. Delphi technique and pilot test were used to confirm the availability and acceptability of the standards and procedures for HPSAS in 2011. After that, two rounds of school evaluations were completed in 2012 (214 participant schools) and 2014 (182 participant schools). The accreditation operation process included documentary reviews, national and international accredited commissioners conducted on-site visits. Descriptive analyses were used to indicate HPS award level distribution. Results: The study established six key HPSAS standards. Each standard had at least two components; overall, there were 21 components and 47 scoring elements. Of the participating schools evaluated in 2012, four were at the gold, 14 silver, and 120 bronze levels, compared with five, 20, and 31, respectively, of schools evaluated in 2014. The study showed that schools at different award levels had different full-score rates in six standards. The schools at the gold level performed exceptionally well. The worst performance among the six standards at each award level was in the skill-based health curriculum. Conclusion: The HPSAS is an objective instrument used to evaluate the process and outcomes of the HPS program. In the future, combinations of different types of data (e.g. students’ health behaviors, school climate, or teachers’ health-teaching innovations) will enable further validation of the HPS effectiveness.

Structure of Asclepias syriaca L. population against phytocenotic and habitat conditions in Widuchowa (West Pomerania)
Authors: Bacieczko Wanda , Borcz Agnieszka 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Asclepias syriaca L. is on the invasive species list in Poland. Its sites are scattered, with the exception of cultivation sites; they are also not well identified in the country and that is why they have not been presented in the ATPOL (Distribution Atlas of Vascular Plants in Poland) yet. In this study, spatial structure of A. syriaca population against phytocenotic and soil conditions in Widuchowa (West Pomerania)were examined. Number of specimens, their density per 1 m2, and mean crowding were determined. In addition, the population spatial structure type was identified through observations and by calculation of the dispersion coefficient. On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the investigated population comprised 1 500 specimens and occupied the area of 38 m2. It exhibited regular spatial distribution type (dispersion coefficient<1) and was characterized by high value of mean shoot density, which amounted to 29 spec./1 m2 (max. 35 spec./1 m2). On the basis of the conducted chemical analysis of the soil from the A. syriaca habitat, the substrate was classified as alkaline soil (pH=7.3-7.6), of low total nitrogen (0.07-0.15%), as well as low total carbon content (0.8-1.45%).

Bailiff enforcement in Poland – Standards of practice, Polish and Swedish legal terms and collocations in the area of debt enforcement
Authors: Hadryan Milena 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis paper discusses the tools available to Polish-Swedish legal translators dealing with the topic of bailiff enforcement. To start with, it discusses two institutions within the Polish legal system in the area of debt enforcement:komornik(bailiff) andbankowy tytuł egzekucyjny(bank enforcement title). It investigates both legal and pragmatic aspects of theirmodus operandi. The free market nature of their operation and insufficient government regulation frequently lead to injustice or is at least perceived as such by the public. Part 2 deals with two tools for legal translators. The first one is the method of parameterisation of legal terms, demonstrated in the example of the terms discussed. The analysis reveals that the termkomornikhas two equivalents in the Swedish language [kronofogde(n)(bailiff),Kronofogden(Enforcement Authority)] while the termbankowy tytuł egzekucyjny(bank enforcement title) has no equivalent. The other tool is corpus linguistics which allows extraction of collocations and other word combinations with the nounskomornik/kronofogde(n) discussed in the paper. It offers a useful list of verbs describing actions of a bailiff as well as reflects the commercial nature of this profession in its present form.

A Thematic Analysis of Stigma and Disclosure for Perinatal Depression on an Online Forum
Authors: Moore Donna , Ayers Susan , Drey Nicholas 
Published: May 2016

Background
Perinatal mental illness is a global health concern; however, many women do not get the treatment they need to recover. Some women choose not to seek professional help and get no treatment because they feel stigmatized. Online forums for various health conditions, including perinatal mental health, can be beneficial for members. Little is known about the role that online forums for perinatal mental illness play in reducing stigma and subsequent disclosure of symptoms to health care providers and treatment uptake.

Objective
This study aimed to examine stigma and disclosure in forums and describe any potential disadvantages of forum use.

Methods
An online forum for mothers was examined and 1546 messages extracted from 102 threads from the antenatal and postnatal depression section. These messages were subjected to deductive systematic thematic analysis to identify common themes regarding stigma and disclosure of symptoms and potential disadvantages of forum use.

Results
Two major themes were identified: stigma and negative experiences of disclosure. Stigma had 3 subthemes: internal stigma, external stigma, and treatment stigma. Many women were concerned about feeling like a “bad” or “failed” mother and worried that if they disclosed their symptoms to a health care provider they would be stigmatized. Posts in response to this frequently encouraged women to disclose their symptoms to health care providers and accept professional treatment. Forum discourse reconstructed the ideology of motherhood as compatible with perinatal mental illness, especially if the woman sought help and adhered to treatment. Many women overcame stigma and replied that they had taken advice and disclosed to a health care provider and/or taken treatment.

Conclusions
Forum use may increase women's disclosure to health care providers by challenging their internal and external stigma and this may strengthen professional treatment uptake and adherence. However, a few posts described negative experiences when disclosing to health care providers.
Juraj Križanić, His Treatise De Musica (1663-1666) and His Remarks on Performing Practices
Authors: Tuksar Stanislav 
Published: May 2016

The Croatian polymath Juraj Križanić (Georgius Crisanius, 1617?-1683) travelled extensively through Croatia, Austria, Italy, Poland-Lithuania, Turkey, and Russia, spending the years 1661-1676 in exile in Tobolsk, Siberia. Križanić left seven works dealing with specific problems of music theory and history. The treatise De Musica treats different performing practices among various nations and within various genres. Križanić’s output is transnational, transcultural, transconfessional and interdisciplinary in character and approach. His thought belongs to cosmopolitism and Enlightenment of the 18th Century, but his ideas will be studied only later by Tzar Peter the Great, Russian nineteenth-century slavophiles and twentieth-century South Slavic socio-political theorists.
Changes in the shape of cloud ice water content vertical structure due to aerosol variations
Authors: Massie Steven T. , Delanoë Julien , Bardeen Charles G. , Jiang Jonathan H. , Huang Lei 
Published: May 2016

Abstract. Changes in the shape of cloud ice water content (IWC) vertical structure due to variations in Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol optical depths (AODs), Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) absorptive aerosol optical depths (AAODs), and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) CO (an absorptive aerosol proxy) at 215 hPa are calculated in the Tropics during 2007–2010 based upon an analysis of DARDAR IWC profiles for deep convective clouds. DARDAR profiles are a joint retrieval of CloudSat-CALIPSO data. Analysis is performed for 12 separate regions over land and ocean, and carried out applying MODIS AOD fields that attempt to correct for 3-D cloud adjacency effects. The 3-D cloud adjacency effects have a small impact upon our particular calculations of aerosol–cloud indirect effects. IWC profiles are averaged for three AOD bins individually for the 12 regions. The IWC average profiles are also normalized to unity at 5 km altitude in order to study changes in the shape of the average IWC profiles as AOD increases. Derivatives of the IWC average profiles, and derivatives of the IWC shape profiles, in percent change per 0.1 change in MODIS AOD units, are calculated separately for each region. Means of altitude-specific probability distribution functions, which include both ocean and land IWC shape regional derivatives, are modest, near 5 %, and positive to the 2σ level between 11 and 15 km altitude. Similar analyses are carried out for three AAOD and three CO bins. On average, the vertical profiles of the means of the derivatives based upon the profile shapes over land and ocean are smaller for the profiles binned according to AAOD and CO values, than for the MODIS AODs, which include both scattering and absorptive aerosol. This difference in character supports the assertion that absorptive aerosol can inhibit cloud development.
Predicting the roughness length of turbulent flows over landscapes with multi-scale microtopography
Authors: Pelletier Jon D. , Field Jason P. 
Published: May 2016

Abstract. The fully rough form of the law of the wall is commonly used to quantify velocity profiles and associated bed shear stresses in fluvial, aeolian, and coastal environments. A key parameter in this law is the roughness length, z0. Here we propose a predictive formula for z0 that uses the amplitude and slope of each wavelength of microtopography within a discrete-Fourier-transform-based approach. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is used to quantify the effective z0 value of sinusoidal microtopography as a function of the amplitude and slope. The effective z0 value of landscapes with multi-scale roughness is then given by the sum of contributions from each Fourier mode of the microtopography. Predictions of the equation are tested against z0 values measured in  ∼ 105 wind-velocity profiles from southwestern US playa surfaces. Our equation is capable of predicting z0 values to 50 % accuracy, on average, across a 4 order of magnitude range. We also use our results to provide an alternative formula that, while somewhat less accurate than the one obtained from a full multi-scale analysis, has an advantage of being simpler and easier to apply.
Fire affects root decomposition, soil food web structure, and carbon flow in tallgrass prairie

Published: May 2016

Abstract. Root litter decomposition is a major component of carbon (C) cycling in grasslands, where it provides energy and nutrients for soil microbes and fauna. This is especially important in grasslands where fire is common and removes aboveground litter accumulation. In this study, we investigated whether fire affects root decomposition and C flow through the belowground food web. In a greenhouse experiment, we applied 13C-enriched big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) root litter to intact tallgrass prairie soil cores collected from annually burned (AB) and infrequently burned (IB) treatments at the Konza Prairie Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site. Incorporation of 13C into microbial phospholipid fatty acids and nematode trophic groups was measured on six occasions during a 180-day decomposition study to determine how C was translocated through the soil food web. Results showed significantly different soil communities between treatments and higher microbial abundance for IB. Root decomposition occurred rapidly and was significantly greater for AB. Microbes and their nematode consumers immediately assimilated root litter C in both treatments. Root litter C was preferentially incorporated in a few groups of microbes and nematodes, but depended on burn treatment: fungi, Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and fungivore nematodes for AB and only omnivore nematodes for IB. The overall microbial pool of root-litter-derived C significantly increased over time but was not significantly different between burn treatments. The nematode pool of root-litter-derived C also significantly increased over time, and was significantly higher for the AB treatment at 35 and 90 days after litter addition. In conclusion, the C flow from root litter to microbes to nematodes is not only measurable but also significant, indicating that higher nematode trophic levels are critical components of C flow during root decomposition, which, in turn, is significantly affected by fire. Not only does fire affect the soil community and root decomposition, but the lower microbial abundance, greater root turnover, and the increased incorporation of root litter C by microbes and nematodes for AB suggests that annual burning increases root-litter-derived C flow through the soil food web of the tallgrass prairie.
