Authors: Wall Eric J. , Ghattas Paul J. , Eismann Emily A. , Myer Gregory D. , Carr Preston 
Published: March 2017

Background: The safest and most effective technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in skeletally immature patients is currently unknown. Purpose: To evaluate the functional and patient-reported outcomes of a specific all-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction technique in which the graft, bone tunnels, and fixation do not cross the knee growth plates. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Twenty-seven patients (23 boys, 4 girls; mean age, 11 years; range, 8-15 years) underwent an all-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction with a single femoral transverse epiphyseal tunnel and primarily split tibial epiphyseal tunnels. Outcomes were evaluated in terms of the manual Lachman test, range of motion, pain, return to activity, angular or leg-length deformity on imaging, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) or Pedi-IKDC score an average of 3.8 years postoperatively, with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Results: The mean IKDC score was 94 ± 11. There were no growth arrests, but 3 patients had knee overgrowth, and 2 required a subsequent guided growth procedure. The ACL graft failed in 4 patients (15%), and 2 patients had contralateral ACL tears (7%). There were 5 subsequent ipsilateral meniscal tears, 4 of which were retears of a repaired meniscus. Ipsilateral knee reinjury significantly correlated with the number of associated injuries at the time of index surgery ( P = .040) and the number of sports played ( P = .029). Conclusion: All-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction resulted in excellent long-term functional outcomes, despite a high rate of complications (48%) and secondary procedures (37%) in this highly active cohort. The incidence of graft failure was similar to other standard ACL reconstruction techniques for patients younger than 20 years.
Inventing Queer: Portals, Hauntings, and Other Fantastic Tricks in the Collected Folklore of Joel Chandler Harris and Charles Chesnutt
Authors: McLaughlin Don James 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Through an analysis of Little Mr. Thimblefinger and His Queer Country (1894) by Joel Chandler Harris and The Conjure Woman and Other Conjure Tales (1899) by Charles Chesnutt, this essay attempts to account for a late nineteenth-century genre termed the queer fantastic. In so doing, it suggests that in the late nineteenth century, the term queer, as a signifier of distorted time, became central to debates over race and the nature of folkloric belonging.
Writing the Old Negro in a New Century: James Weldon Johnson and the Uses of Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Authors: Spingarn Adena 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This essay examines the production of a dynamic “Old Negro” figure in African American discourse during the New Negro Renaissance. Conflicting impulses to claim the Old Negro as an ancestor and to renounce him as an obstacle to racial progress mirrored a broader tension about representing slavery in black cultural production. While Alain Locke and other critics called for literature to portray the Negro of the new day and discard the old representations, James Weldon Johnson understood the Old Negro’s enduring importance to modern black self-conception. His 1912 novel, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, portrays the consequences of accepting existing, white-authored literary representations of the Old Negro. While Johnson’s ex–colored man fails to reclaim this figure, Johnson himself did exactly that in his 1917 adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852), an operatic cantata that until now has never been examined. In this text, Johnson incorporates and evolves the Old Negro into a contemporary literary tradition that challenges the racial violence of Jim Crow and celebrates black survival.
Trans Men Engaging, Reforming, and Resisting Feminisms
Authors: Abelson Miriam J. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
A number of trans-masculine people have written about their efforts to integrate feminism with masculine and trans identities, yet there are fewer stories of those who have more ambiguous relationships or actually resist feminism. This article illustrates the multiple ways trans men engage with feminism, in some cases resisting and in some cases adopting feminist practices or politics, by drawing from in-depth interviews with sixty-six trans men from across the United States. These interviewees' accounts show that they were more likely to take on feminist identities and trans feminism as a key site of solidarity when they understood feminism as varied. Others reported little interest in feminism because they thought of it as limited or that it did not align with their own views or practices. This offers important insights for understanding why some trans-masculine people engage in feminist and trans movements and others do not.
Transmasculine Insurgency
Authors: Chávez Daniel Brittany 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In this brief essay, the author explores what it has been like to transition as a transmasculine person in Chiapas, México, with all its contradictions and complexities. The author contends what it can mean to decolonize masculinity and what his role as a transmasculine and transfeminist person has been in an almost exclusively bio-woman feminist space. What does trans presence mean in fiercely antitrans spaces? What can the power of Audre Lorde's erotic do in transforming feminist communities toward transfeminist power?
Transfeminism
Authors: Espineira Karine , Bourcier Marie-Hélène/Sam 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The aim of this article is to trace genealogies of transfeminism in France and in Spain. It examines the relationship of transfeminism alongside third-wave and second-wave feminist political objectives, the struggle against transpathologization, and the resistance to the binary sex/gender system. It also addresses the politics of translating queer in the European context, showing how transfeminism is a critique of Anglo white queer theory and its capacity for disembodiment. The postporn movement—a distinctive feature of Spanish transfeminism—is offered as a productive use of the body as a means to resist biopower through creative counterproduction and space occupation. The authors argue that transfeminism is about not only resignification but also rematerialization and is a way of getting away from English as an imperialistic language and a reaction against the theoretical excesses of US first-wave white queer theory.
Birth of Transfeminism in Brazil
Authors: Kaas Hailey 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This text aims to briefly summarize the initial steps of transfeminism in Brazil, its difficulties and issues within the mainstream feminist movement, which in some ways molded the transfeminist movement, and also its support, not always free from cissexist practices. It also emphasizes intersectionality as a way out of the problem of identity politics and as a praxis to fight for human rights in general.
On Being the Object of Compromise
Authors: Keegan Cael M. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The 2014 National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) conference specifically solicited trans-feminist academic work through a call for proposals subtheme entitled “Trans-Feminisms.” This subtheme called for work exploring how “trans-feminist analyses help us redefine feminist politics” and discussing “opportunities for coalitions and convergences among trans-feminisms without co-opting self-chosen trans*/gender identifications and/or objectifying trans* people.” Yet when trans attendees arrived at the conference, they encountered a bathroom implementation that reflected negative cultural attitudes about trans people and subjected them to gender policing and potential violence. Below, I analyze the NWSA's bathroom “compromise” as a failed strategy that compromised the safety of all conference attendees while raising serious questions about the current viability of political trans-feminist coalition.
Structural brain abnormalities in 12 persons with aniridia
Authors: Grant Madison K. , Bobilev Anastasia M. , Pierce Jordan E. , DeWitte Jon , Lauderdale James D. 
Published: March 2017

Background:Aniridia is a disorder predominately caused by heterozygous loss-of-function mutations of thePAX6gene, which is a transcriptional regulator necessary for normal eye and brain development. The ocular abnormalities of aniridia have been well characterized, but mounting evidence has implicated brain-related phenotypes as a prominent feature of this disorder as well. Investigations using neuroimaging in aniridia patients have shown reductions in discrete brain structures and changes in global grey and white matter. However, limited sample sizes and substantive heterogeneity of structural phenotypes in the brain remain a challenge. Methods:Here, we examined brain structure in a new population sample in an effort to add to the collective understanding of anatomical abnormalities in aniridia. The current study used 3T magnetic resonance imaging to acquire high-resolution structural data in 12 persons with aniridia and 12 healthy demographically matched comparison subjects. Results:We examined five major structures: the anterior commissure, the posterior commissure, the pineal gland, the corpus callosum, and the optic chiasm. The most consistent reductions were found in the anterior commissure and the pineal gland; however, abnormalities in all of other structures examined were present in at least one individual. Conclusions:Our results indicate that the anatomical abnormalities in aniridia are variable and largely individual-specific. These findings suggest that future studies investigate this heterogeneity further, and that normal population variation should be considered when evaluating structural abnormalities.
Quantification and determinants of the amount of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) shed using real time PCR data from a longitudinal household study
Authors: Wathuo Miriam , Medley Graham F. , Nokes D.J. , Munywoki Patrick K. 
Published: March 2017

Background: A better understanding of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) epidemiology requires realistic estimates of RSV shedding patterns, quantities shed, and identification of the related underlying factors. Methods: RSV infection data arise from a cohort study of 47 households with 493 occupants, in coastal Kenya, during the 2009/2010 RSV season. Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken every 3 to 4 days and screened for RSV using a real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. The amount of virus shed was quantified by calculating the ‘area under the curve’ using the trapezoidal rule applied to rescaled PCR cycle threshold output. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify correlates of amount of virus shed. Results: The median quantity of virus shed per infection episode was 29.4 (95% CI: 15.2, 54.2) log10 ribonucleic acid (RNA) copies * days. Young age (<1 year), presence of upper respiratory symptoms, intra-household acquisition of infection, an individual’s first infection episode in the RSV season, and having a co-infection of RSV group A and B were associated with increased amount of virus shed. Conclusions: The findings provide insight into which groups of individuals have higher potential for transmission, information which may be useful in designing RSV prevention strategies.

Published: March 2017

Background Obesity has been associated with respiratorycomplications and it is believed to reduce lung volume. Obesityimposes additional stress on ventilation during exercise andmay even result in pulmonary function impairment. Exerciseinduced-bronchospasm has also been found in obese children.Lung function tests can be useful to confirm diagnosis, responseto therapy, or prediction of lung and respiratory diseases. Thepeak flow meter is an inexpensive, practical way to measure lungfunction, and can detect the early warning signs of a decrease inlung function.Objective To compare the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) beforeand after physical exercise in obese and non-obese primary schoolboys aged 6 to 12 years old.Methods A quasi-experimental study using the one group pretest-posttest design was performed on 30 obese children (BMI abovethe 95<h percentile) and 30 non-obese children (BMI betweenthe 5<h - 85'h percentile) using a mini-Wright peak flow meterto evaluate the PEFR before and after eight minutes of physicalexercise. Height, weight, body mass index, and physical statuswere determined before testing.Results The PEFR before and after exercise were 14.80 for obesechildren and 9.76 for non-obese children. The mean value forPEFR between obese and non-obese children was significantlydifferent (P<0.05).Conclusion The PEFR for obese children is significantly lowerthan non obese children even before physical exercise.

Background Language development is fundamental for children'sintellectual development. Therefore, early stimulation in thefirst three years of life play an important role especially indisadvantaged communities such as foster homes.Objective To determine the quality of home stimulation andlanguage development, and their correlations in children livingin orphanages and family homes.Methods This study was conducted between December 2007 andJanuary 2008. Subjects were recruited from several orphanagesin Jakarta, Tangerang, Bogor, also three posyandus in Jakarta andTangerang. The quality of home stimulation was assessed usingHome Stimulation Observation for the Measurement of theEnvironment (HOME) scores, while language development wasassessed using Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone ScaleDevelopment Quotient (CLAMS DQ).Results A total of 80 healthy children, consisting of 40 childrenin orphanages and 40 in family homes were enrolled. Inadequatestimulation and language delay were found to be significantlyhigher in the orphanage group (52.5% vs. 27.5%; P=0.022 and57.5% vs. 10%; P<0.001, respectively). HOME Scores andCLAMS DQ were also significantly lower in the orphanagegroup compared to those in the family home group (25.6 vs31.5; P<0.001 and 84.0 vs 110.7; P=0.002). Logistic regressionrevealed that caregiver-child attachment time was the onlyrisk factor for language delay (OR 32.32; P<0.0001), in bothorphanages and family homes.Result The quality of home stimulation is lower in the orphanages,which results in a higher rate of language delay in children aged12-24 months.

Published: March 2017

Background Transcatheter closure using amplatzer duct occluder(ADO) is currently the treatment of choice for patent ductusarteriosus (PDA). The ADO device is constructed from a Nitinolwire mesh containing 55% nickel. Up to now, there is still acontroversy about the effects of nickel contained in ADO.Objectives To determine blood nickel level at six months aftertranscatheter closure of PDA using ADO, toxic effects of nickelat six months after PDA closure using ADO, and the effects ofnickel on complete blood count (CBC), blood glucose and renalfunction.Methods Subjects were patients with PDA at IntegratedCardiovascular Services, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital,Jakarta. Routine blood test and blood nickel levels were measuredat the time of the procedure, and at the end of the first, third, andsixth months after intervention.Results There were 29 patients who underwent heart catheteri-zation and PDA closure using ADO. A time series analysis wasconducted on 23 patients who completed six-month follow-upafter the intervention. Median blood nickel level before procedurewas 58 ng/mL while at one, three and six months afterwards were60, 63 and 64 ng/mL respectively. The blood nickel levels didnot differ significantly between pre- and post-ADO. After PDAclosure, no toxic effects of nickel were found, both clinically andlaboratorically.Conclusions PDA closure using ADO has no effects on the nickellevels, CBC, blood glucose and renal function;

Published: March 2017

Background Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonotic diseasecaused by Toxoplasma gondii. Congenital toxoplasmosis (CT)is the result of vertical transmission during pregnancy thatmay cause pathologic effects on the newborn such as classicaltriad of congenital toxoplasmosis. Newborn humans are notimmunologically competent and the infant must be protected by passive lgG antibodies that are selectively transported across the placenta during development. We studied the transfer of passive lgG from the mother to developing infant using blood specimen taken from the infant within one month of birth.Objective To determine the seropositivity of lgG to T. gondii in paired sera of infants and mothers.Methods A cross sectional study was carried out on 50 pairedsera of infants of less than one month of age and their mothers. The study was carried out between November 2007 and January 2008 at Prof. R. D. Kandou Hospital in Manado. T. gondii lgG was detected using the Latex Agglutination method. The seropositivity ofT. gondii lgG was analyzed descriptively.Results A total of 28 mothers from 50 infant-mother pairs wereseropositive for T. gondii IgG. Of the 28 seropositive mothers, 22 of their paired infants were seropositive. The remaining six seropositive mothers had infants that were not seropositive for T. gondii.Conclusions The identification of seropositive lgG for T. gondii in infants less than one months age indicates that the lgGs in infants are mostly derived from their mothers. CT must be considered and further examinations are needed.

Background Data regarding inflammatory factors in children arenot so well developed as in adults. Higher levels of physical fitnessmay be helpful in modifying the low-grade inflammatory state thatis indexed by C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.Objective To evaluate the association of physical fitness with CRPlevels in children and to identify the possible related factors.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at poorelementary schools in Surakarta, Indonesia using a group of 217underweight children aged from 7 to 9 years old. Physical fitnesswas assessed using a modified Harvard Step Test. CRP levels weremeasured using a high-sensitivity assay. The association betweenphysical fitness and CRP level was assessed using linear regressionanalysis. Multivariate analyses were used to adjust covariates,and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS for Windowssoftware version 15.0.Results Subjects were 48% female and 52% male, and elevenchildren (5%) had a CRP level > 5 mg/L. Mean fitness level andCRP level did not differ by age and gender. Fitness level was notinversely correlated with CRP (r=0.10, P=0.14). Physical fitnesswas significantly correlated with BMI (r=0.14; P=0.04), physicalactivity [0R=3.3 (95% CI 1.7 to 6.4)], and fat intake [0R=0.5(95% CI 0.2 to 0.9) ].Conclusion These findings indicate that physical fitness is notinversely correlated to CRP levels in children. However, ourstudy reveased an association between high fat intake and lowphysical fitness as well as a significant association betweenhigh physical activiry and physical fitness.

Published: March 2017

Background Bilirubin in healthy term neonates, especially free bilirubin (Bf), could enter brain cell and cause damage perceived by brainstem evoked response auditory (BERA). Studies identify that Bf is more associated to abnonnal BERA than total bilirubin is. Currently, phototherapy is perfonned in neonates with total bilirubin > 15 mg/dL. However, in developing countries where observation could not be done optimally, neonates \\lith totalbilirubin> 12 mg/dL will be subject for phototherapy.Objectives To determine the association between total bilirubin > 12 mg/dL and BERA abnonnalities in healthy tenn neonates, and the value of total bilirubin and free bilirubin that initiate abnonnal BERA.Methods This cross sectional study was carried out between March 31􀁅August 8, 2008, in healthy term neonates at rooming􀁅in ward, Department of Obstetric & Gy necology, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (CMH). All eligible subjects were examined for Bf and BERA using standard methods. Results The prevalence of abnormal BERA was 15.4%. There was no significant relation between hy perbilirubinemia (> 12 mg/ dL) and abnonnal BERA in healthy tenn neonates. Lowest total bilirubin and Bf level related to abnonnal BERA were 12.4 mg/dL (mean 12.8 mg/dL) and O.oS)Lg/dL (mean l.3)Lg/dL), respectively. All BERA abnonnalities were unilateral.Conclusions There is no association between abnormal BERA and hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin> 12 mg/dL) in jaundiced infants who undergo phototherapy.
