MEASURING HIGH-PRECISION ASTROMETRY WITH THE INFRARED ARRAY CAMERA ON THE SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE*
Authors: Esplin T. L. , Luhman K. L. 
Published: December 2015

ABSTRACT
The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope currently offers the greatest potential for high-precision astrometry of faint mid-IR sources across arcminute-scale fields, which would be especially valuable for measuring parallaxes of cold brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood and proper motions of obscured members of nearby star-forming regions. To more fully realize IRAC's astrometric capabilities, we have sought to minimize the largest sources of uncertainty in astrometry with its 3.6 and 4.5 μm bands. By comparing different routines that estimate stellar positions, we have found that Point Response Function (PRF) fitting with the Spitzer Science Center's Astronomical Point Source Extractor produces both the smallest systematic errors from varying intra-pixel sensitivity and the greatest precision in measurements of positions. In addition, self-calibration has been used to derive new 7th and 8th order distortion corrections for the 3.6 and 4.5 μm arrays of IRAC, respectively. These corrections are suitable for data throughout the mission of Spitzer when a time-dependent scale factor is applied to the corrections. To illustrate the astrometric accuracy that can be achieved by combining PRF fitting with our new distortion corrections, we have applied them to archival data for a nearby star-forming region, arriving at total astrometric errors of ∼20 and 70 mas at signal to noise ratios of 100 and 10, respectively.
A European Common Good ?
Authors: Marhold Hartmut 
Published: December 2015

Cet article poursuit deux lignes de réflexion principales. D’abord, il revient sur les causes et origines du renouveau de ce débat sur le « bien commun » européen – la crise financière, économique et sociétale actuelle. Il examine la relation compliquée entre néolibéralisme et « bien commun », notamment sur la base de la pensée de Milton Friedman, dont l’individualisme extrême et l’orientation exclusive vers des valeurs matérielles rendent pratiquement sa théorie incompatible avec l’idée même du « bien commun ». Ensuite, l’article essaie de jeter des bases terminologiques communes, en se servant des instruments analytiques (dans le sens philosophique) pour élucider la question de ce que « bien commun » veut dire par rapport à des concepts voisins ou opposés, tels que « bien publics », « intérêts individuels » ou « valeurs individuelles ».
Les biens collectifs européens : une perspective économique
Authors: Baechler Laurent 
Published: December 2015

Que faut-il entendre par « biens collectifs européens » ? Cet article propose une réponse en trois temps. Premièrement les biens collectifs européens émanent de processus de prises de décision politique. Deuxièmement le processus d’intégration européenne fait apparaître un éventail croissant de biens collectifs, dont une part croissante appartient à la catégorie des ressources communes, et non plus des biens de club, rendant les problèmes d’action collective européenne de plus en plus compliqués à gérer. Enfin la construction européenne se trouve à un point clé où les procédures de décision doivent tenir compte de ces complications, la crise de la zone euro étant l’illustration des limites de la gouvernance européenne tant qu’elle ne sait pas traiter convenablement ces questions de gestion de biens collectifs.

Published: December 2015

Questo articolo prova ad esaminare alcuni risultati principali nella ricerca sulla terapia di gruppo, cosÃ¬ come le direzioni future di ricerca in questo ambito. Sono stati esaminati i risultati degli studi raccolti dal gruppo di ricerca del Dipartimento di Psicologia dellâ€™UniversitÃ di Palermo. In particolare, in questo articolo vengono esaminate le questioni teoriche e metodologiche sulla psicoterapia di gruppo, l'efficacia clinica della terapia di gruppo con diverse popolazioni cliniche (disturbi alimentari, disturbi dâ€™ansia) e la relazione tra caratteristiche del paziente, variabili di processo (clima ed alleanza di gruppo) e l'esito della terapia. Complessivamente, da questa rassegna emerge come siano presenti alcuni studi italiani che testimoniano l'efficacia clinica della psicoterapia di gruppo, anche se sarÃ necessaria maggiore ricerca sullâ€™analisi dei meccanismi sottostanti di cambiamento nei gruppi, soprattutto nelle terapie a lungo termine.

Published: December 2015

This paper evaluates process and outcome inÂ a 2 years supportive psychotherapyÂ psychodynamic-orientedÂ of a young adult self-referred for concerns about University choice. The diagnosis was Panic Attack Disorder (DSM-IV) with features of obsessive-compulsive and narcissistic personality disorder (PDM). Twenty-eight verbatim transcripts of the sessions were coded with the Psychodynamic Intervention Rating Scales, the Collaborative Interactions Scale and Defense Mechanism Rating Scale. A log linear analysis model showed the trends of process variables during the treatment. A hierarchical regression analysis evaluated the importance of tailoring the clinician interventions in respect to the average level of defenses. Outcome results showed how patient's diagnosis changed and symptoms decreased.
A Microanalytical Look at Mutual Regulation in Psychotherapeutic Dialogue: Dialogic Discourse Analysis (DDA) in Episodes of Rupture of the Alliance

Published: December 2015

Objective: The psychotherapeutic process, like any intimate relationship between two human beings, involves mutual and self regulation processes that support effective communication. In psychotherapy, such regulatory processes are relevant to maintain a positive working alliance and contribute to therapeutic change. Rupture episodes in the alliance and their resolution constitute key moments in which mentioned regulatory processes are manifested.This article shows a micro-analysis of episodes of rupture of the alliance using Dialogic Discourse Analysis (DDA) to depict mutual regulation process in the psychotherapeutic dialogue.Â Method: The Dialogic Discourse Analysis (DDA) is a microanalytic procedure that makes it possible to identify discursive strategies associated with the processes of construction, failure and restoration of the psychotherapeutic dialogue. This analytic tool was applied to 34 episodes of rupture of the alliance taken from a long-term psychoanalytic therapy.Â Results: An emergent model about the discursive regulatory process in episodes of rupture of the alliance was developed, distinguishing between the overcoming and repairing processes of the alliance ruptures.Conclusion: The core issue in the resolution of ruptures seems to be regulating the tension between the participants. The way by which both repairing and overcoming processes account for two alternatives for regulating this tension is discussed. It is proposed that the strategies that are the most repairing would facilitate the occurrence of psychotherapeutic change. Additionally, the discussion focuses on the value of DDA as a microanalytical methodology that makes it possible to comprehensively account for these processes.Â Â

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is a disease that generates significant mortality and disability in Latin America, and specifically in Colombia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 12-month clinical outcome in patients with sTBI managed with an early cranial decompression (ECD) as the main procedure for damage control (DC) therapy, performed in a University Hospital in Colombia over a 4-year period. Materials and Methods: A database of 106 patients who received the ECD procedure, and were managed according to the strategy for DC in neurotrauma, was analyzed. Variables were evaluated, and the patient outcome was determined according to the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) at 12 months postinjury. This was used to generate a dichotomous variable with “favorable“ (GOS of 4 or 5) or “unfavorable“ (GOS of 1–3) outcomes; analysis of variance was performed with the Chi-square, Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney and Fisher tests. Results: An overall survival rate of 74.6% was observed for the procedure, At 12 months postsurgery, a favorable clinical outcome (GOS 4–5) was found in 70 patients (66.1%), Unfavorable outcomes in patients were associated with the following factors: Closed trauma, an Injury Severity Score >16 , obliterated basal cisterns, subdural hematoma as the main injury seen on the admission computed tomography, and nonreactive pupils observed in the emergency department. Conclusion: Twelve months outcome of patients with sTBI managed with ECD in a neuromonitoring limited resource University Hospital in Colombia shows an important survival rate with favorable clinical outcome measure with GOS.

ABSTRACT
Context: Late onset Parkinson’s disease (LOPD) is a neurodegenerative disorder afflicting individuals of ages 60 and older. However, 5–10% of cases can begin earlier between the ages 20 to 40, and are classified as young onset Parkinson disease (YOPD). Aim: In turn, this study aims to observe the trend in the choice of drug administered to patients with both YOPD and LOPD, with particular emphasis on this trend in its relation to the practice background of the neurologist. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a community based Parkinson’s disease and movement disorder clinic. Statistical Analysis Used: Using a retrospective chart review data was obtained and analysed. Results: The results showed that 83% of general neurologists prescribed levodopa to their patients with YOPD, whereas movement-disorder specialists took a different approach altogether. They opted not to use levodopa and, in its stead, prescribed a mixture of alternate drugs.

Authors: Menon Vikas , Sarkar Siddharth , Thomas Shijo 
Published: December 2015

ABSTRACT
Background: Specialty psychosomatic clinics are a felt need in low- and middle-income countries, but its benefits and challenges have not been reported so far. Aims: To describe the process, challenges, and opportunities that we encountered in setting up a specialty psychosomatic clinic at a government medical college in South India. Methods: The biweekly psychosomatic clinic was located in the Department of Psychiatry and manned by a multimodal team. Structured questionnaires were used to evaluate all patients. All psychiatric diagnoses were made as per International Classification of Diseases-10, clinical descriptions and diagnostic guidelines. Management comprised both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapeutic interventions. Results: A total of 72 patients registered for services in the 1st year of the clinic. The mean age of the sample was 36.6 years (range 14–60 years). A median of 2 years and 19 visits to various care providers had elapsed before their visit to the clinic. The index contact was a general practitioner in the majority of cases though an overwhelming majority (95.6%) had also sought specialist care. The most common diagnostic cluster was the somatoform group of disorders (50.0%). Antidepressants were the most commonly prescribed medications (70.6%). Conclusion: The specialty psychosomatic clinic provided better opportunities for a more comprehensive evaluation of people with medically unexplained symptoms and better resident training and focused inter-disciplinary research. It describes a scalable model that can be replicated in similar resource constrained settings.

AbstractArterial supply for the derivatives of foregut in the abdomen is provided by the branches of the celiac trunk. Celiac trunk is the first ventral branch of abdominal aorta and usually branches into splenic, common hepatic and left gastric arteries. Variations in the branching pattern of celiac trunk are common but in most of the people, they remain asymptomatic and go unnoticed. A good knowledge of these anatomical variations is important for surgeons undertaking various surgeries in the abdominal region and will help to minimise the complications related to abdominal surgery. Clinicians and radiologists should also be aware of any variations in the vascular pattern of the celiac trunk before performing angiographic examinations. In the current case, the celiac trunk divided into two branches; left gastric artery and hepato-splenic trunk. The hepato-splenic trunk further divided into splenic and common hepatic arteries. The common hepatic artery trifitrcated into proper hepatic, gastroduodenal and accessory hepatic arteries. Hepatic artery proper divided into right and left hepatic arteries. The accessory hepatic artery was tortuous and was as large as the left hepatic artery. It gave origin to the right gastric artery and entered the liver through left end of porta hepatis.
Hypoplasia of the vertebral artery in human - a case report
Authors: Campos D. 
Published: December 2015

AbstractHypoplasia of the vertebral artery (VA) is rare, and incidentally encountered in radiological imaging techniques. During routine activities in the Laboratory of Human Anatomy from University of Santa Cruz do Sul, Brazil, it was observed a 70 years old male cadaver with hypoplasia of the right VA. Thus, the purpose of this study is to report this case of hypoplasia of the VA emphasizing some morphological, functional and clinical data about this rare vascular abnormality, in order to offer useful information to anatomists, radiologists, vascular and head and neck surgeons. Moreover, to our knowledge, this variation has not been cited in recent medical literature.

Authors: Shah S. , Koirala S. 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Introduction: Cephalic Index and Prosopic Index are very useful anthropometric tool to find out racial and sexual differences and also give a clue to genetic transmission of inherited characteristics from parents to their offspring. Materials and Methods: A descriptive non-interventional cross-sectional study was conducted on normal undergraduate medical students of Nepalese origin from BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal on September 2012. A total of 313 (male=186 and female=127) Nepalese young adult students with their ages ranging from 17-25 years were included for the study after taking permission from institutional ethical board and committee. All the measurements were carried out after careful palpation of the head for anatomical landmarks and measurements were taken to the nearest 1mm. Results obtained were presented as mean and standard deviation. Independent student t test and anova test was applied to find out the gender, geographical and ethnic differences. A “p” value of < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The head and face form of males were hyperbrachicephalic and mesoprosopic respectively and of females were mesocephalic and leptoprosopic respectively.The head and face form of Tibeto-Nepalese were hyperbrachicephalic and mesoprosopic; of Indigenous were brachiocepalic and mesoprosopic and of Indo-Nepalese were mesocephalic and leptoprosopic respectively. Conclusion: Thus the racial factor, gender, geographical and regional variations influences the craniofacial anthropometry especially head and faces form.

Abstract
Introduction: Precise knowledge of variations in arterial vascularization of the abdominal viscera is important for systematization of radiological and surgical anatomy in animals that serve as experimental models and in domestic animals. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the origin and main branches of the cranial and caudal mesenteric arteries in rabbits. Materials and Methods: The anatomical dissections were performed in 30 cadavers of adult rabbits, 15 males and 15 females. Results: The cranial mesenteric artery arose as a single artery in all females and males. The average length of the cranial mesenteric artery in females was 2.63 cm and originated at the level oflst lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) animals, between the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebra in four (26.67%), on the 2nd lumbar vertebra in seven (46.67%), between 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%) and at the level of 3rd lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%). The average length of the cranial mesenteric artery in males was 2.56 cm and originated at the level of1st lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) animals, between the 1st and 2nd lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%), at the level of the 2nd lumbar vertebra in eight (53.33%), between the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebra in three (20%). The main ramifications of the cranial mesenteric artery were the caudal pancreatic duodenal, middle colic, jejunal and ileocecocolic arteries. The caudal mesenteric artery arose as a single artery in all females and males. The average length of the caudal mesenteric artery in females was 0.846 cm and originated at the level of 5th lumbar vertebra in three (20%) animals, between the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%), at the level of the 6th lumbar vertebra in seven (46.67%), %), between the 6th and 7th lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) and at the level of the 7th lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%). The average length of the caudal mesenteric artery in males was 0.79 cm and originated at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra in two (13.33%) animals, between the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%), at the level of the 6th lumbar vertebra in seven (46.67%), between the 6th and 7th lumbar vertebra in four (26.67%) and at the level of the 7th lumbar vertebra in one (6.67%). The caudal mesenteric artery arises from the aorta, originating the cranial rectal and left colic arteries. Conclusion: No relation was observed between the mesenteric length and the rostrum-sacral length in rabbits. The origin of the cranial and caudal mesenteric artery is not gender dependent.

Published: December 2015

Abstract
Introduction: Crosswords have been used to complement medical education in a fun way, yet they were not used as a method for the evaluation of students' performance. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the development of crosswords and verify their validity as a method of performance evaluation in embryology. Materials and Methods: We used crossword based on subjects about stages of embryonic development with different levels of difficulty. To validate the crossword as the evaluation method of teaching, two evaluation methods were applied (the traditional and with crosswords, simultaneously) on students of Federal University of Piaui. The performance of students was analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient and data were analyzed to check for normal distribution through the Shapiro-Wilk test with significance level of 0.05. The tests were performed on the BioEstat statistical software version 5.0. Results: As result a total of 28 students were evaluated. It was observed that the resulting score of both the traditional and crossword evaluation methods demonstrating normal distribution (p=0.4127 and p=0.7016, respectively), did not present vices and tendencies. The average scores were 7.1 ± 2.0 and 6.9 ± 1.7 for the traditional and crossword evaluation methods, respectively, showing statistically significant difference (p=0.0001; r=0.67), demonstrating a moderate Pearson's correlation between the methods. Conclusion: In conclusion, crosswords may be used as supplementary material for teaching embryology. Also, crossword functioned as validated and reproducible method of performance evaluation that can be used in as alternative and/or complementary teaching of embryology or other disciplines in the medical ield.
