Published: March 2017

Objective: The effects of zedoary guaiane-type sesquiterpenes (ZGS)-based eluting stent (ZES) in accelerating reendothelialization and inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia were examined in a porcine coronary artery model. Methods: The ZES was prepared by polymer-free 316L stainless metal stents. Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and bare metal stents (BMS) with identical platforms were used as controls. Stents with 15 mm in length and 2.0 to 3.5 mm in diameter were implanted in porcine coronary arteries. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histopathology were performed to assess the reendothelialization and neointimal hyperplasia. The 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide assay and flow cytometry were used to assess the influence of ZGS on human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Results: At 7 days, SEM showed that percentage of endothelial coverage area was 94.04% ± 5.01% for ZES, 47.59% ± 19.91% for SES ( P < .01 for ZES vs SES), and 59.58% ± 19.61% for BMS ( P < .05 for ZES vs BMS). At 28 days, the percentage of coverage area was 98.51% ± 1.86% for ZES, 86.18% ± 8.16% for SES ( P < .05 for ZES vs SES), and 94.26% ± 5.58% for BMS. Neointimal area and stenosis were significantly lower in ZES (1.07 ± 0.48 mm2, 27.66% ± 12.20%) compared to BMS (1.73 ± 0.69 mm2, 44.08% ± 15.03%, both P < .01, respectively), with no difference in SES (0.94 ± 0.12 mm2, 28.87% ± 6.00%, both P > .05, respectively). The ZGS also promoted HUVECs viability and improved HUVECs proliferation compared to sirolimus. Conclusion: The ZES accelerated reendothelialization and suppressed neointimal hyperplasia in a porcine coronary artery model, with beneficial effects on HUVECs.

Introduction Tele-emergency can address several challenges facing emergency departments in rural areas. The purpose of this paper is to (a) examine the rates of avoided transfers in rural emergency departments that adopted tele-emergency applications; and (b) estimate the costs and benefits of using tele-emergency to avoid transfers. Methods Analysis is based on 9048 tele-emergency encounters generated by the Avera eEmergency programme (Sioux Falls, South Dakota) in 85 rural hospitals across seven states between October 2009–February 2014. For each non-transfer patient, physicians indicated whether the transfer was avoided because of tele-emergency activation. The cost-benefit analysis is conducted from the hospital, patient and societal perspectives, and includes technology costs, local hospital revenues and patient-associated savings. All monetary values are expressed in US$. Sensitivity analysis is conducted by examining the worst and best case scenarios of costs, revenues and savings. Results In these analyses, 1175 avoided transfers were attributed to tele-emergency. From a rural hospital perspective, tele-emergency costs around US$1739 to avoid a single transfer. However, tele-emergency saves around US$5563 in avoided transportation and indirect patient costs. Combining these, from a societal perspective, tele-emergency has the potential to result in a net savings of US$3823 per avoided transfer while accounting for tele-emergency technology costs, hospital revenues, and patient-associated savings. Conclusion This study highlights various stakeholder perspectives on the financial impact of tele-emergency in avoiding patient transfers in rural emergency departments. Telemedicine has the potential to reduce the number of transfers of emergency department patients and generate some revenue for rural hospitals despite associated technology costs, while incurring substantial patient savings.

Published: March 2017

Background Although we have previously reported that intravenous resveratrol administration inhibits the nociceptive neuronal activity of spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis neurons, the site of the central effect remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine whether acute intravenous resveratrol administration in the rat attenuates central glutamatergic transmission of spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis neurons responding to nociceptive mechanical stimulation in vivo, using extracellular single-unit recordings and microiontophoretic techniques. Results Extracellular single-unit recordings using multibarrel electrodes were made from the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis wide dynamic range neurons responding to orofacial mechanical stimulation in pentobarbital anesthetized rats. These neurons also responded to iontophoretic application of glutamate, and the evoked neuronal discharge frequency was significantly increased in a current-dependent and reversible manner. The mean firing frequency evoked by the iontophoretic application of glutamate (30, 50, and 70 nA) was mimicked by the application of 10 g, 60 g, and noxious pinch mechanical stimulation, respectively. The mean firing frequency of spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis wide dynamic range neurons responding to iontophoretic application of glutamate and N-methyl-D-aspartate were also significantly inhibited by intravenous administration of resveratrol (2 mg/kg) and the maximal inhibition of discharge frequency was observed within 10 min. These inhibitory effects lasted approximately 20 min. The relative magnitude of inhibition by resveratrol of the glutamate-evoked spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis wide dynamic range neuronal discharge frequency was similar to that for N-methyl-D-aspartate iontophoretic application. Conclusion These results suggest that resveratrol suppresses glutamatergic neurotransmission of the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis neurons responding to nociceptive mechanical stimulation via the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in vivo, and resveratrol may be useful as a complementary or alternative therapeutic agent for the treatment of trigeminal nociceptive pain.

Published: March 2017

Introduction: This is the second of two articles about best practice in the management of coding services. The best practice project was part of a year-long project conducted in the Republic of Ireland to review the quality of the Hospital Inpatient Enquiry data for its use in activity-based funding. Methods: The four methods used to address the best practice aspect of the project were described in detail in Part 1. Results: The results included in this article are those relating to the coding manager’s background, preparation and style, clinical coder (CC) workforce adequacy, the CC workforce structure and career pathway, and the physical and psychological work environment for the clinical coding service. Conclusion: Examples of best practice were found in the study hospitals but there were also areas for improvement. Coding managers would benefit from greater support in the form of increased opportunities for management training and a better method for calculating CC workforce numbers. A career pathway is needed for CCs to progress from entry to expert CC, mentor, manager and quality controller. Most hospitals could benefit from investment in infrastructure that places CCs in a physical environment that tells them they are an important part of the hospital and their work is valued.

Does personality play a role in continuous positive airway pressure compliance?
Authors: Maschauer Emily L. , Fairley Donna M. , Riha Renata L. 
Published: March 2017

Key pointsContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence is low among individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea.Type D personality and high scores on the depression and hypochondriasis scales on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) have been identified as factors contributing to non-compliance with CPAP.Further research into personality type may assist in understanding why some people adhere to CPAP, while others fail.Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition characterised by repetitive, intermittent partial or complete collapse/obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is highly efficacious in treating OSA but its effectiveness is limited due to suboptimal acceptance and adherence rates, with as many as 50% of OSA patients discontinuing CPAP treatment within the first year. Until recently, research has focused on examining mechanistic and demographic factors that could explain nonadherence (e.g.age, sex, race and education level) with limited applicability in a prospective or clinical manner.More recent research has focused on personality factors or types of patients with OSA who comply and do not comply with CPAP adherence in an attempt to enhance the accuracy of predicting treatment compliance. Type D personality has been found to be prevalent in one third of patients with OSA. The presence of Type D personality increases noncompliance and poor treatment outcomes due to negative affectivity, social inhibition, unhealthy lifestyle, and a reluctance to consult and/or follow medical advice. Conversely, individuals who are more likely to adhere to CPAP treatment tend to have a high internal locus of control and high self-efficacy, self-refer for treatment, and have active coping skills. By assessing personality and coping skills, the clinician may gain insight into the likelihood of a patient’s adherence to treatment. If the patient displays potential risk factors for CPAP noncompliance, the clinician can offer the patient education, refer them to a support group, engage in behavioural/motivational therapy and undertake regular follow-up visits or phone calls incorporating troubleshooting to increase CPAP adherence, especially in individuals with Type D personality.

Published: March 2017

We tested the applicability of a newly developed broadband (0–800 Hz) digital-based seismic landstreamer for open-pit mine planning in the apatite-bearing Siilinjärvi mine in central Finland. Four seismic profiles, in total approximately 2.5 km long (2–4 m source and landstreamer receiver spacing), two inside the pit and two on its margins, were acquired in combination with wireless recorders connected to 10 Hz geophones and fixed at every 10 m spacing along the seismic profiles while the streamer data were being acquired. Downhole logging and laboratory physical property measurements on core and rock samples were carried out to not only support the seismic interpretations but also to provide information about the possible geophysical signature of these unique types of deposits. In spite of a highly noisy mining environment, seismic data of high quality were acquired; however, reflection processing and interpretations were challenged by the geologic complexities of several generations of basic and carbonatite dikes. To complement the reflection data imaging and to account for the steep elevation changes and crookedness of some of the seismic profiles, 3D first-arrival traveltime tomography and 3D swath reflection imaging were also carried out. Clear refracted arrivals from the open-pit profiles suggest the possibility of low-velocity zones associated with either blasting or several shear zones intersecting the seismic profiles. In terms of reflectivity, reflections have a different appearance from short and flat to longer and steep ones. The downhole- and borehole logging data suggest that some of these reflections are associated with diabase dikes and some are likely from zones of weaknesses in the alkaline-carbonatite complex. We determine the potential of using seismic streamers for cost- and time-effective open-pit mine planning and encourage further testing in simpler geologic settings to be established.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
The structure and electronic features of neutral and positively charged pyrene and perylene derivatives were explored. The radical cation of 1,3,6,8-tetraarylpyrene 1 was examined by ESR, UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The addition of 2 equiv of oxidant to 1 resulted in the formation of dication 12+. The single-crystal X-ray structure of 12+ proved that the aromatic part relocates from biphenyl unit to naphthyl unit upon 2e− oxidation of 1. We have also investigated the oxidation processes of 3,9-diarylperylene 2 and 3,10-diarylperylene 3. The radical cations of 2•+ and 3•+ showed ESR signals and the spin densities were proven to delocalize at 3,4,9,10-positions. In the case of doubly charged 3,9-diarylperylene, we could find the anthracene structure in the core, while the phenanthrene skeleton appeared in two-electron oxidized 3,10-diarylperylene. Finally we validated this phenomenon to apply for the higher analogue terrylene, discovering its large aromaticity relocation upon the 2e− oxidation.

Published: March 2017

ABSTRACTCONTEXTDespite multiple calls for clinic‐based services to identify and support women victimized by partner violence, screening remains uncommon in family planning clinics. Furthermore, traditional screening, based on disclosure of violence, may miss women who fear reporting their experiences. Strategies that are sensitive to the signs, symptoms and impact of trauma require exploration.METHODSIn 2011, as part of a cluster randomized controlled trial, staff at 11 Pennsylvania family planning clinics were trained to offer a trauma‐informed intervention addressing intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion to all women seeking care, regardless of exposure to violence. The intervention sought to educate women about available resources and harm reduction strategies. In 2013, at the conclusion of the trial, 18 providers, five administrators and 49 patients completed semistructured interviews exploring acceptability of the intervention and barriers to implementation. Consensus and open coding strategies were used to analyze the data.RESULTSProviders reported that the intervention increased their confidence in discussing intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion. They noted that asking patients to share the educational information with other women facilitated the conversation. Barriers to implementation included lack of time and not having routine reminders to offer the intervention. Patients described how receiving the intervention gave them important information, made them feel supported and less isolated, and empowered them to help others.CONCLUSIONSA universal intervention may be acceptable to providers and patients. However, successful implementation in family planning settings may require attention to system‐level factors that providers view as barriers.
The art of growing leaders: Supporting identity and leadership development through arts-based selfexpression
Authors: Junkin Janelle , Kaimal Girija , Terry Julia , Smith Kris 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article presents findings from the evaluation of a year-long urban-school arts programme called the Art of Growing Leaders (AGL). The goals of AGL were to support youth engagement in schools, enhance resilience, improve self-awareness and interpersonal relationships, and support leadership development through selfexpression in visual arts, poetry and narratives. The evaluation study used a quasiexperimental research design measuring student perceptions at baseline, midpoint and end line. The results of the 30-week programme indicated that student perceptions changed most significantly in the ability to describe the artistic process and selfperceived skills in the arts. Qualitative and drawing-based data further indicated that students developed deeper awareness of self, and reported improved interactions with their peers and schools. The project and findings highlight the application of a visual arts programme to support psycho-social development in youth.
Improving the hospital experience with music
Authors: Raab Judith 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This report examines twelve peer-reviewed articles that explore the intervention of music in the hospital environment. The articles vary in descriptions of how music is delivered to patients. However, the authors all assert value from offering this creative service to possibly reduce pain and provide comfort. The Sonke et al. study recommends guidelines for music performances on hospital floors to enrich the workplace for staff. Some research focuses more on standardization of reporting for the arts in medicine field, while Clift specifically writes about the increased interest in arts interventions with the need for evidence showing positive outcomes from this financially affordable programming. DeVelder emphasizes the importance of collaboration and scientific dialogue between the medical community and arts practitioners. Practice comparisons are reflected upon to achieve the most benefit for patients, their families, and hospital staff. All of the writers agree that music has the potential to improve the hospital experience. The conclusions of the authors represent that more research is warranted on music in facilities to raise acceptance and quality of outcomes from the arts in medicine.
The photographer archivist: Memory and landscape in the Anthropocene
Authors: Banerjee Srijita 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Human civilization can now be considered to have crossed over to the Age of the Anthropocene, the current geological period when human activity has a great influence on the environment of the world and this has had severe implications on the environment. When André Bazin, French critic and film theorist writing between 1943 and 1958, penned his famous treatise on photography and cinema, the visual form was still in its formative years. However, in the present day the effects of the Anthropocene on geographic and topographic factors are creating different and newer discourses of memory in relation to the culture and society. Hence, it becomes essential to redefine the role of the photographer in these terms. This article looks at this role in the context of Sunderbans, a natural region of mangrove forest spanning southern Bangladesh and a small part of West Bengal in India, through the photography of Swastik Pal, an independent photographer and writer based in Calcutta.
short subject: Environmental issues in Nordic media
Authors: Kääpä Pietari 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
A recent material turn in media studies gestures towards a new type of media studies, one that considers the role of the media industries as massive utilizers of natural resources. These considerations range from the labour that cultivates resources to regulation that is designed to make the communication industries sustainable. Nordic media production is especially at a critical conjuncture due to the sustainability commitments of the respective governments. Yet little real environmental action or functional, applicable policies exist to curb or even understand the industry’s footprint.
Chasing ephemerality: Notes on doctoral mentoring and artistic collaboration
Authors: Hafeli Mary , Koo Sohee 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In this article, we explore our experiences and shifting positions as doctoral mentor and mentee, co-mentors, and collaborators over the course of one semester. We use duography (Diamond and Mullen 1996) as an analytical approach to reveal the convergence of separate perspectives and voices as we examine both the evolution of dissertation research questions and a shared studio project – highlighting mentoring and collaborative practices that stretch, blur, and morph into one another. Writing together is a transparent way of discovering what we know or have learned, and of mentoring and being mentored within and about the writing process itself. Our account describes both the co-construction of research and the ways in which our collaborative research and studio practices changed, and changed us, over time.
The nest as metaphor: Reflections on mentoring, growth, and material culture

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Dragons are natural hoarders of material culture; therefore, the authors appropriate their nest to articulate their conversations about community, mentoring and material culture. In a graduate-level course focused on material culture, bonds were created and developed, which continue to the present time. Sharing research ideas for feedback and supporting one another intellectually and emotionally have allowed the group to develop as a dynamic community of enquiry and led to group presentations at state, national and international venues. We use avatars to personalize and make our voices visible.
