Interpretation
Authors: Marsh Peter 
Published: December 2017

All my life I have had a dream of the consummate artist who would incorporate into his playing the many profiles of humanity, who seemed to embrace the whole universe in his vision. It is with great joy and gratitude that I dedicate the following thoughts on interpretation to my dear friend, Mstislav Rostropovitch, whose generosity of heart speaks for humanity and whose unique artistry has meant the realization of my dream.

They've Got Pluck: CHA Youth Orchestra a Survival Kit for Kids in Public Housing
Authors: Mahany Barbara 
Published: December 2017

EDITORIAL: Sweet Notes in the Projects The notion of letting children in Chicago Housing Authority developments take violins, cellos and string basses home to practice music composed a few centuries before the birth of Michael Jackson or Kool Moe Dee may seem bizarre to some, particularly those who have the benighted belief that nothing good can come out of “the projects.” It is a novel idea but, as Chicago has seen with CHA night basketball, the novel often sounds like nonsense but works quite nicely. The good that can be found in the quarter-million children who call CHA developments home is well represented in the 26 chosen so far for the Music Cultivation Program for CHA Youth. They range from kinder-garteners to 9th graders and were selected in July from four developments by teachers from the not-for-profit Merit Music Program. Officials of CHA and the 11-year-old Merit Music Program hope the Music Cultivation Program eventually will become a full symphony orchestra with bass, winds, percussion and strings. But for now, the children's parents must endure, like other good parents everywhere, the bittersweet joy and agony of hearing young hands become familiar with bows and strings. It may comfort them to know that the CHA's classical music pioneers are engaging in an experience that will help give structure and meaning to their lives no less than it does for children who live anywhere else. Whether or not they achieve their dreams of performing in Orchestra Hall someday—and who is to say some won't?—the lessons of form, grace, teamwork and discipline will serve them well, no matter what fields they pursue later in their lives. With determination on their part and support from others, the young musicians will find their horizons broadened and their self-esteem improved. And everyone else should have their hopes and dreams for the next generation boosted a little with the knowledge that, behind the torn window screens and graffiti-covered walls of public housing, some budding young talents are making beautiful music together.

Using digital storytelling to promote the sexual health and well-being of migrant and refugee young people: A scoping review
Authors: Botfield Jessica R , Newman Christy E , Lenette Caroline , Albury Kath , Zwi Anthony B 
Published: December 2017

Objective: Digital storytelling and other methods of self-expression and autobiography have become an increasingly important tool for those working with young people, including those from migrant, refugee or other ‘culturally diverse’ backgrounds. A structured scoping review was undertaken to better understand the potential value and challenges of using digital stories to promote the health and well-being of these diverse groups of young people and to identify key knowledge gaps. Design: The review process comprised a systematic search of the literature and strategic consultations with professionals working with young people in the area of sexual and reproductive health promotion and care. A descriptive-analytic method was used to collate and synthesise the literature and apply narrative and thematic analyses. Results: In total, 28 papers were deemed eligible for inclusion. Findings are presented as two analyses: what is known from the literature and key knowledge gaps. Identified themes included the use of digital stories as social activism and as research intervention, recognition of digital stories as complex terrain and recommendations for good practice. Three key gaps of particular relevance to our research aims were identified. These were (1) the lack of digital stories on sexual health and relationships by ‘culturally diverse’ young people in Australia, (2) the need for discussion of the ethical considerations of using digital storytelling and related methods in sexual health fields and (3) the value of exploring opportunities to employ digital methods as self-representation and autobiography to generate new knowledge and build organisational capacity. Conclusion: As confirmed in discussions with professionals working in the youth, migrant and sexual health sectors, the literature highlighted the many potential applications of digital storytelling to promoting the sexual health and well-being of young people from diverse backgrounds. Additional research is required to understand the particular ethical and contextual issues shaping, and at times constraining, this engagement in specific cultural contexts.
Effects of occupational exposure to aluminium on some oxidative stress and DNA damage parameters
Authors: Samir AM , Rashed LA 
Published: December 2017

Aim: The aim of this work was to investigate the relationships between aluminium levels, oxidative status and DNA damage in workers occupationally exposed to aluminium. Subjects and methods: This study was conducted in a secondary aluminium smelter. It included 96 male workers occupationally exposed to aluminium fume and dust compared to 96 male nonexposed individuals. Full history and clinical examination were done for all participants. Laboratory investigations in the form of serum aluminium, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and comet assay test were performed. Results: Serum aluminium level ranged from 4 to 30 µg/L of median: 10 µg/L; urinary 8-OHdG ranged from 2.7 to 17.2 ng/mg creatinine of median: 7.6 ng/mg creatinine; comet tail length (CTL) ranged from 19.7 to 50.5 µm of median: 45 µm, were statistically significantly increased in the exposed group compared to nonexposed group. In exposed workers, a statistically significant positive correlations were found between serum aluminium level and urinary 8-OHdG ( r = 0.75, p < 0.001); aluminium level and CTL ( r = 0.71, p < 0.001); and urinary 8-OHdG and CTL ( r = 0.71, p < 0.001). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between serum aluminium and TAC ( r = −0.76, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Occupational exposure to aluminium in secondary aluminium smelters was related to the induction of oxidative stress and DNA damage. This may promote the development of adverse health hazards in the exposed workers

Published: December 2017

Introduction: The potential of a radioiodine-labeled, anti-adenosine triphosphate synthase monoclonal antibody (ATPS mAb) as a theragnostic agent for simultaneous cancer imaging and treatment was evaluated. Methods: Adenosine triphosphate synthase monoclonal antibody was labeled with radioiodine, then radiotracer uptake was measured in 6 different cancer cell lines. In vivo biodistribution was evaluated 24 and 48 hours after intravenous injection of 125I-ATPS mAb into MKN-45 tumor-bearing mice (n = 3). For radioimmunotherapy, 18.5 MBq 131I-ATPS mAb (n = 7), isotype immunoglobulin G (IgG) (n = 6), and vehicle (n = 6) were injected into MKN-45 tumor-bearing mice for 4 weeks, and tumor volume and percentage of tumor growth inhibition (TGI) were compared each week. Results: MKN-45 cells showed the highest in vitro cellular binding after 4 hours (0.00324 ± 0.00013%/μg), which was significantly inhibited by unlabeled ATPS mAb at concentrations of greater than 0.4 μM. The in vitro retention rate of 125I-ATPS mAb in MKN-45 cells was 64.1% ± 1.0% at 60 minutes. The highest tumor uptake of 125I-ATPS mAb in MKN-45 tumor-bearing mice was achieved 24 hours after injection (6.26% ± 0.47% injected dose [ID]/g), whereas tumor to muscle and tumor to blood ratios peaked at 48 hours. The 24-hour tumor uptake decreased to 3.43% ± 0.85% ID/g by blocking with unlabeled ATPS mAb. After 4 weeks of treatment, mice receiving 131I-ATPS mAb had significantly smaller tumors (679.4 ± 232.3 mm3) compared with control (1687.6 ± 420.4 mm3, P = .0431) and IgG-treated mice (2870.2 ± 484.1 mm3, P = .0010). The percentage of TGI of 131I-ATPS mAb was greater than 50% during the entire study period (range: 53.7%-75.9%). Conclusion: The specific binding and antitumor effects of radioiodinated ATPS mAb were confirmed in in vitro and in vivo models of stomach cancer.

Published: December 2017

Purpose: Previous reports have suggested higher periprocedural complications after ipsilateral antegrade femoral arterial access (AA). We looked at a contemporary series comparing complication rates between AA and contralateral retrograde femoral arterial access (RA) for femoropopliteal angioplasty. Method: A prospective review of all cases between 2010 and 2015 in a United Kingdom tertiary vascular center. Demographical and procedural data were obtained for those undergoing percutaneous femoropopliteal angioplasty. The primary outcome looked at periprocedural complications including retroperitoneal hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, hematoma requiring transfusion, arteriovenous fistulation, and surgical intervention. Secondary outcomes included contrast and radiation doses in addition to procedural failure leading to major amputation. Results: A total of 556 (66% male) patients underwent femoropopliteal angioplasty, 461 (82%) via AA. Groups were of comparable age, sex, comorbidity, and symptomatology. AA patients had a lower body mass index, 26 versus 29 ( P = .005). No significant difference was seen in periprocedural (15.8% AA vs 11.6% RA; P = 0.292) or access site complications (3.7% AA vs 1.1% RA; P = 0.186). There was less need for a closure device, 40.3% AA vs 73% RA ( P < .01), less contrast, 94 mL AA: 114 mL RA ( P < .001), and less radiation, 3487 cGy cm2 AA: 9697 cGy cm2 RA ( P < .001). Arterial access was also associated with greater technical success of 83.8%: 73.3% RA ( P = .002). Conclusions: Arterial access is associated with higher technical success and reduced contrast/radiation doses with no significant difference in complications compared to RA contrary to previous reports.

Published: December 2017

Introduction Endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke with acute large-vessel occlusion (ALVO) has established benefits, and rapid treatment is vital for mechanical thrombectomy in ALVO. Time from onset of stroke to groin puncture (OTP) is a practical and useful clinical marker, and OTP should be shortened to obtain the maximum benefit of thrombectomy. Objective The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of early treatment of anterior circulation stroke within three hours after symptom onset and to evaluate the role of OTP in determining outcomes after endovascular therapy. Methods Consecutive patients with acute stroke due to major artery (internal carotid or middle cerebral arteries) occlusion who underwent endovascular recanalization between March 2014 and January 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were stratified by OTP into three categories: 0–≤3 h, >3–≤6 h, and >6 h. The primary outcome measure was a 90-day modified Rankin scale score of 0–2 (good outcome). Results Data were analyzed from 100 patients (mean age, 76.6 years; mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 17). Groin puncture occurred within 0–≤3 h in 51 patients, >3–≤6 h in 28, and >6 h in 21. Median OTP in each group was 126 min (range, 57–168 min), 238 min (range, 186–360 min) and 728 min (range, 365–1492 min), respectively. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, category of OTP represented an independent predictor of patient outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 0.48; 95% confidence interval, 0.25–0.93; p = 0.029). Conclusions OTP is a prehospital and in-hospital workflow-based indicator. In this single-center study, OTP was found to independently affect functional outcomes after endovascular stroke treatment.

Published: December 2017

Background: Few studies have examined the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices in the general wards. The aim of this pilot study was to examine whether CGM readings can be successfully transmitted from the bedside to a central monitoring device in the nursing station, and whether a glucose telemetry system can prevent hypoglycemic events. Methods: We present pilot data on 5 consecutive insulin treated general medicine patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) whose glucose values were observed with CGM (DEXCOM) and the results were transmitted to a central nursing station monitoring system using DEXCOM Follow and Share 2 software. CGM alarms were set-up at glucose <85 mg/dl. Results: Duration of CGM observation was 4.0 ± 1.6 days (mean ± SD). During CGM, the overall time spent within blood glucose (BG) target of 70-179 mg/dl was 64.68 ± 15% (mean ± SD), on hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dl) was 0.30% ± 0.39, and time spent on hyperglycemia (≥180 mg/dl) was 35.02% ± 15.5. Two patients had 3 actions of prevention of potential hypoglycemia (CGM BG <70 mg/dl for >20 minutes) captured by alarm. No patients had CGM glucose value <54 mg/dl. Conclusions: This pilot study indicates that the use of CGM values in hospitalized patients can be successfully transmitted to a monitoring device in the nursing station, improving patient surveillance in insulin treated patients with diabetes.

Published: December 2017

Este artículo muestra el impacto de la intervención neuropsicológica infantil en la organización de la actividad escolar en un caso con alteración en el sistema ejecutivo. El desarrollo de este sistema cognitivo ha mostrado que al afectarse tiene implicaciones en el aprendizaje escolar. Este reporte de caso trata de una niña de 8 años con alteración en el funcionamiento ejecutivo y fallas en lectoescritura. Se aplicaron la Evaluación Neuropsicológica Infantil Breve, Evaluación Neuropsicológica Infantil ENI, Escala de Inteligencia WISC-IV y la Batería Neuropsicológica de Funciones Ejecutivas BANFE. La evaluación evidenció debilidades en dominios de control inhibitorio y planeación cognitiva. Se diseñó y aplicó un programa de intervención neuropsicológica orientado a la corrección de esos aspectos. Se realizaron 12 sesiones de 45 minutos y un análisis comparativo de resultados pre y post intervención. Los resultados mostraron mejoría tanto en el funcionamiento ejecutivo como en actividades escolares, en comparación con la evaluación inicial. Se concluye que la intervención enfocada en la dirección y organización de la actividad cognitiva del sistema ejecutivo beneficia el aprendizaje de la lectoescritura.
Neoliberalismo e integración “de hecho” en el Cono Sur: Argentina como exportadora de hidrocarburos
Authors: Sabbatella Ignacio 
Published: December 2017

Entre 1989 y 2001 se configuró un proceso de integración energética en el Cono Sur de América, en el cual Argentina adoptó el papel de exportador de petróleo y gas natural, a pesar de que históricamente había tenido que importar una parte de los hidrocarburos y sus derivados necesarios para cubrir la demanda interna. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar por qué y cómo se insertó Argentina como proveedor de hidrocarburos en este proceso. Como hipótesis, se argumenta que fue menos una política de Estado que una consecuencia indirecta de la reforma neoliberal del sector de hidrocarburos, cuyos pilares fueron la desregulación del mercado, la privatización de la petrolera estatal Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Sociedad del Estado (ypf) y la transformación simbólica y material del petróleo y gas en commodities. En términos de la cepal (1994), se trató más de una integración “de hecho” que de una integración impulsada por políticas. Tomando en cuenta estudios previos sobre la reforma del sector, se aplicó una estrategia metodológica basada en la investigación documental (Valles, 1997), a través de la recolección, sistematización y análisis de datos secundarios.
Doing Well by Making Well: The Impact of Corporate Wellness Programs on Employee Productivity
Authors: Gubler Timothy , Larkin Ian , Pierce Lamar 
Published: December 2017

This paper investigates the impact of a corporate wellness program on worker productivity using a panel of objective health and productivity data from 111 workers in five laundry plants. Although almost 90% of companies use wellness programs, existing research has focused on cost savings from insurance and absenteeism. We find productivity improvements based both on program participation and postprogram health changes. Sick and healthy individuals who improved their health increased productivity by about 10%, with surveys indicating sources in improved diet and exercise. Although the small worker sample limits both estimate precision and our ability to isolate mechanisms behind this increase, we argue that our results are consistent with improved worker motivation and capability. The study suggests that firms can increase operational productivity through socially responsible health policies that improve both workers’ wellness and economic value, and provides a template for future large-scale studies of health and productivity. The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2017.2883 . This paper was accepted by Serguei Netessine, operations management.

Published: December 2017

Background: An ageing population and health-care advances mean that patients have increasingly complex medical health and social needs, requiring a multidisciplinary team. However, despite working as an interprofessional team, team members still largely train in professional silos. Furthermore health-care professionals report a poor understanding of the skills of colleagues from different professions. This article describes the set up and outcomes of a novel interprofessional bedside teaching programme. Methods: An in-centre interprofessional teacher training course was established to facilitate interprofessional bedside teaching, along with supported ward-based sessions to apply the skills. Results: Three in-centre courses and five workplace sessions have run, with forty-five and twenty-eight interprofessional participants respectively. Statistically significant improvements in confidence facilitating interprofessional teaching were seen, with participants more likely to teach at the bedside and involve the multidisciplinary team. Conclusions: This article shows evidence of a teaching programme which improves the confidence of the multidisciplinary team in facilitating interprofessional bedside teaching.
