A Thematic Synthesis of the Experiences of Adults Living with Hemodialysis
Authors: Reid Claire , Seymour Julie , Jones Colin 
Published: June 2016

Background and objectives
Patients on in-center dialysis spend significant amounts of time in the dialysis unit; additionally, managing ESRD affects many aspects of life outside the dialysis unit. To improve the care provided to patients requiring hemodialysis, their experiences and beliefs regarding treatment must be understood. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the experiences of patients receiving in-center hemodialysis.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We searched Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychINFO, Google Scholar, and reference lists for primary qualitative studies published from 1995 to 2015 that explored the experiences of adult patients receiving treatment with in-center hemodialysis. A thematic synthesis was conducted.

Results
Seventeen studies involving 576 patients were included in the synthesis. Four analytic themes were developed. The first theme (a new dialysis–dependent self) describes the changes in identity and perceptions of self that could result from dialysis dependence. The second theme (a restricted life) describes the physical and emotional constraints that patients described as a consequence of their dependence. Some patients reported strategies that allowed them to regain a sense of optimism and influence over the future, and these contributed to the third theme (regaining control). The first three themes describe a potential for change through acceptance, adaption, and regaining a sense of control. The final theme (relationships with health professionals) describes the importance of these relationships for in-center patients and their influence on perceptions of power and support. These relationships are seen to influence the other three themes through information sharing, continuity, and personalized support.

Conclusions
Our synthesis has resulted in a framework that can be used to consider interventions to improve patients’ experiences of in-center hemodialysis care. Focusing on interventions that are incorporated into the established relationships that patients have with their health care professionals may enable patients to progress toward a sense of control and improve satisfaction with care.
Idols of the Cave
Authors: Abbott J. Haxby 
Published: June 2016

In this month's Viewpoint editorial, Drs Reiman, Thorborg, and Hölmich provide a timely critique of the escalating diagnosis and surgical management of femoroacetabular impingement. They deconstruct an enthusiasm fueled by the imperfect evidence of passive observation. While almost always well meaning and not invaluable, it is too often enchanted with data skewed by invisible distortions, and interpreted by the human mind blind to its own credulities.

Psychometric analysis and critical appraisal of the original, revised, and modified versions of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score in the assessment of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy
Authors: Furlan Julio C. , Catharine Craven B. 
Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most common cause of nontraumatic spinal cord impairment and disability in the world. Given that the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score is the most frequently used outcome measure in clinical research and practice for treating patients with CSM, this review was undertaken to comprehensively and critically evaluate the psychometric properties of the JOA score.

METHODS
The authors identified studies (published in the period of January 1975 to November 2015) on the psychometric properties of the original, revised, and modified versions of the JOA score in Medline, PsycINFO, Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE), American College of Physicians Journal Club, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Additional publications were captured in a secondary search of the bibliographies in both original research articles and literature reviews identified in the original search. The JOA scores were evaluated for item generation and reduction, internal consistency, reliability, validity, and responsiveness. This review included all those versions of the JOA score whose psychometric properties had been reported in at least 2 published studies.

RESULTS
The primary search strategy identified 59 studies, of which 9 fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. An additional 18 publications were captured in the secondary search and included in the analysis. The key findings from the 27 studies analyzed indicated the following: 1) the original JOA score (1975) was the source for the revised JOA score (1994) and 3 modified versions (1991, 1993, and 1999 JOA scores) reported or used in at least 2 published studies; 2) the revised and modified versions of the JOA score are markedly different from each other; 3) only the revised JOA score (1994) was validated with the original JOA score; and 4) the 1975 JOA score is the most appropriate instrument for assessing patients in Asian populations (especially from Japan) because of its psychometric attributes, and the 1991 JOA score is the most appropriate version for use in Western populations.

CONCLUSIONS
The authors' results indicate that the original (1975), revised (1994), and modified (1991, 1993, and 1999) versions of the JOA score are substantially different from each other in terms of their content and have been incompletely examined for their psychometric properties and cultural sensitivity. Whereas the 1975 JOA score is the most appropriate version for assessing individuals from Asian populations (particularly those eating with chopsticks), the 1991 JOA score is most suitable for evaluating patients in Western populations. Nonetheless, further investigation of the psychometric properties of the 1975 and 1991 JOA scores is recommended because of a paucity of studies reporting on the responsiveness of these 2 scoring instruments.

Authors: Jimenez David , Budsberg Steven , Torres Bryan 
Published: June 2016

SummaryAdenosine triphosphate has been shown to stimulate nociceptive nerve terminals in joints. Elevated synovial fluid adenosine tri -phosphate concentrations as well as a correlation between synovial fluid adenosine tri -phosphate concentrations and osteoarthritic knee pain has been demonstrated in humans, but not yet in dogs. This study documented elevated synovial fluid adenosine triphosphate concentrations in the stifles of dogs with secondary osteoarthritis and urate-induced synovitis, as compared to normal stifles.
Development of microsatellite markers for Fargesia denudata (Poaceae), the staple‐food bamboo of the giant panda
Authors: Lv Yan , Yu Tao , Lu Sihai , Tian Cheng , Li Junqing , Du Fang K. 
Published: June 2016

Premise of the study:There is a need for microsatellite primers to analyze genetic parameters of Fargesia denudata (Poaceae), the staple‐food bamboo of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).Methods and Results:Using next‐generation sequencing technology, we obtained a 75‐Mb assembled sequence of F. denudata and identified 182 microsatellites. Primer pairs for 70 candidate microsatellite markers were selected and validated in four individuals, and 42 primer pairs generated reliable amplicons. Fourteen of 16 tested markers were found to be polymorphic in 72 individuals from four F. denudata populations. The number of alleles ranged from two to 19 per locus; the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0 to 1 and from 0 to 0.87, respectively. The transferability of these 16 novel microsatellite markers was validated in five related species.Conclusions:These markers will be useful for examining the genetic diversity, genetic structure, and cloning of F. denudata, the staple‐food bamboo of the giant panda, and related bamboo species.
La légalisation des drogues : une mesure de salut public. Inévitable, utopique, dangereuse ?
Authors: Hautefeuille Michel , Wieviorka Emma 
Published: June 2016

En France, c’est la loi du 31 décembre 1970 qui fixe le cadre à la fois juridique et médico-social de la réponse publique face à la consommation de psychotropes. L’échec patent de cette loi à remplir ses objectifs pointe les limites des politiques prohibitionnistes dans leur ensemble. Seule une légalisation – qui est davantage qu’une contraventionnalisation ou qu’une dépénalisation – des drogues peut permettre de répondre au mieux au problème sanitaire et social posé par celles-ci.
Errance urbaine, scènes de consommation de drogues et réduction des risques : les défis pour la ville et les politiques publiques aujourd’hui
Authors: Azocar Betty 
Published: June 2016

En attirant l’attention de différents acteur.trice.s sanitaires et sociaux présents dans la cité, l’émergence des « scènes ouvertes » d’usage de drogues dans le tissu urbain 1 a contribué à la reconfiguration des interventions en matière de drogues dans les villes, tout en préfigurant la mise en œuvre de la politique de réduction des risques (RDR) auprès des usager.ère.s de drogues. Si la politique de RDR a obtenu des résultats incontestables sur le terrain de l’épidémie de VIH, elle n’a pas encore réussi à répondre totalement aux problématiques posées par les usager.ère.s de drogues les plus marginalisé.e.s dans l’espace urbain, notamment les plus précarisé.e.s, les migrant.e.s, les femmes, et tous ceux qui errent dans les grandes villes. Fragmentées, éphémères et mobiles : les scènes n’ont pas disparu, mais sont redevenues plus difficiles à discerner/à identifier.
Coca, une feuille sacrée
Authors: Croci François 
Published: June 2016

La « guerre à la drogue » n’est pas seulement un instrument de marginalisation des populations les plus vulnérables à l’intérieur de chaque Etat-nation. Il s’agit aussi d’un rapport de forces entre États. La défense par la Bolivie de la culture et de la consommation de la feuille de coca vient rappeler que les politiques prohibitionnistes ne sont pas tant motivées par des préoccupations de santé que par des enjeux de souveraineté.
Curiosité et séduction : investissements et contre-investissements dans le psychodrame psychanalytique d’investigation
Authors: Morel Alexandre 
Published: June 2016

Entre curiosité et séduction suscitées par le dispositif psychodramatique, l’usage massif de contre investissements peut être de mise avant que ce même dispositif apparaisse propre à favoriser l’associativité et un jeu conflictualisé ouvrant aux représentations fantasmatiques. A partir de l’expérience analytique avec une adolescente durant les quelques séances d’un psychodrame dit « d’investigation et de mobilisation », nous cherchons quelles modalités de mise en forme de l’excitation pulsionnelle déterminent les conditions d’empêchement et de déploiement associatifs.
Ricœur on the Concept of Will in Aristotle and Augustine
Authors: Horn Christoph 
Published: June 2016

En s’appuyant sur le cours de Ricœur sur Le Concept philosophique de volonté – professé en 1967 – l’article examine la position que le philosophe français assume sur la question très controversée concernant l’histoire conceptuelle de la volonté dans la pensée occidentale et notamment dans la philosophie ancienne. En partant d’une clarification terminologique – centrée sur la distinction entre trois concepts de volonté (appétitif, décisionnel et dynamique) – l’article met en cause la thèse défendue ici par Ricœur, selon laquelle le concept de volonté serait absent dans la philosophie ancienne et en particulier dans la pensée d’Aristote. Toutefois, d’accord avec Ricœur, on reconnaît chez Augustin une approche foncièrement novatrice du concept de volonté, dont on précise le sens et la portée dans la partie conclusive.
Le tournant cartésien de la philosophie de la volonté
Authors: Guenancia Pierre 
Published: June 2016

L’article analyse la partie consacrée à Descartes – et en particulier à la IV e méditation – dans le cours sur Le Concept philosophique de volonté, professé par Ricœur en 1967. En examinant en quel sens la philosophie cartésienne de la volonté représente ici pour Ricœur un « tournant » au sein de la tradition, on vise à mettre en relief les glissements interprétatifs, qui témoignent de l’influence de nouvelles médiations – comme celle de Heidegger et de Gueroult – mais aussi et surtout d’un recul critique beaucoup plus net que dans la « Philosophie de la volonté » de Ricœur vis-à-vis de Descartes : recul qui est lié à un tournant de sa pensée. Dans ce but l’article se développe en suivant les trois moments de la lecture de Ricœur : a) noyau phénoménologique ; b) volonté et ordre des raisons ; c) volonté et cogito.
Le profil social et politique des adjoint-e-s aux sports des villes françaises
Authors: Koebel Michel 
Published: June 2016

L’analyse des caractéristiques des adjoint-e-s aux sports des villes françaises de la mandature 2008-2014 montre une grande diversité : dans la dénomination de leurs attributions ; dans le rang qui leur est attribué par le maire au sein de l’exécutif ; dans le choix de confier cette responsabilité à des femmes ou à des hommes. L’analyse de leur appartenance sociale montre qu’ils et elles se situent dans une position généralement dominée au sein des exécutifs et même par rapport aux conseillers municipaux « ordinaires ». Ils et elles sont presque aussi nombreux-ses que les autres adjoint-e-s à être membres de partis politiques.

Depuis la création de la prestation de compensation du handicap, les personnes concernées bénéficient d’une solvabilisation de leur aide humaine plus conséquente qu’auparavant et peuvent l’organiser en recourant à des services prestataires ou en pratiquant l’emploi direct entre particuliers, en mandatant, par exemple, un service d’accompagnement qui secondera l’employeur sans se substituer à lui. Notre contribution s’intéresse aux personnes qui ont besoin de 24 heures d’accompagnement quotidien et choisissent de recourir à un service mandataire. En se fondant sur les matériaux empiriques d’une enquête qualitative conduite en 2015 en Île-de-France et en Languedoc-Roussillon auprès de quinze particuliers employeurs, de quinze salariés et de trois cadres de deux délégations de l’Association des paralysés de France, nous avons tâché de comprendre les rationalisations individuelles de l’exercice de l’emploi direct entre particuliers en analysant les causes et les incidences d’un recours au service mandataire.

A investigação considerou fatores depadrões contábeis, incentivos empresariais e a intensidade da internacionalização das atividades econômicas como fatores explicativos da qualidade da informação contábil. Os resultados indicaram que a menor alavancagem financeira constituiu-se em incentivo para as empresas posicionaram-se com escores mais elevados no ranking da qualidade da informação contábil. O estudo confirmou a intensidade da internacionalização das atividades empresariais como uma determinante significativa para explicar a qualidade da informação contábil reportada no contexto internacional.
Parent Advocacy Group for Events of Resuscitation
Authors: Pasek Tracy Ann , Licata Jodi 
Published: June 2016

BACKGROUNDThe presence of patients’ families during resuscitation has been an important practice issue. An American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) practice alert “Family Presence During Resuscitation and Invasive Procedures” supports family members of patients undergoing resuscitation being given the option of bedside presence. Parent Advocacy Group for Events of Resuscitation (PAGER) is an interdisciplinary collaborative in the pediatric intensive care unit.OBJECTIVESTo ensure that patients’ families are provided the option of being with their child during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.METHODSResuscitation data were collected for 12 months by using the AACN practice alert audit tool. The Family Nurse Caring Belief Scale was administered to 150 pediatric intensive care unit nurses. PAGER nurses received crisis education.RESULTSPediatric intensive care unit nurses were supportive of providing the option of family presence during resuscitation. Family Nurse Caring Belief Scale data revealed areas for improvement in family caring practices. PAGER was implemented with positive outcomes for 2 families.CONCLUSIONSPAGER has improved the care of families whose children experience cardiopulmonary resuscitation and should be implemented in pediatric critical care units. PAGER nurses are prepared to serve as role models in providing family-sensitive care during crisis.

SummaryPartners HealthCare Personalized Medicine developed GeneInsight Clinic (GIC), a tool designed to communicate updated variant information from laboratory geneticists to treating clinicians through automated alerts, categorized by level of variant interpretation change.The study aimed to evaluate feedback from the initial users of the GIC, including the advantages and challenges to receiving this variant information and using this technology at the point of care.Healthcare professionals from two clinics that ordered genetic testing for cardiomyopathy and related disorders were invited to participate in one-hour semi-structured interviews and/ or a one-hour focus group. Using a Grounded Theory approach, transcript concepts were coded and organized into themes.Two genetic counselors and two physicians from two treatment clinics participated in individual interviews. Focus group participants included one genetic counselor and four physicians.Analysis resulted in 8 major themes related to structuring and communicating variant knowledge, GIC’s impact on the clinic, and suggestions for improvements. The interview analysis identified longitudinal patient care, family data, and growth in genetic testing content as potential challenges to optimization of the GIC infrastructure.Participants agreed that GIC implementation increased efficiency and effectiveness of the clinic through increased access to genetic variant information at the point of care.Development of information technology (IT) infrastructure to aid in the organization and management of genetic variant knowledge will be critical as the genetic field moves towards whole exome and whole genome sequencing. Findings from this study could be applied to future development of IT support for genetic variant knowledge management that would serve to improve clinicians’ ability to manage and care for patients.Citation: Klinkenberg-Ramirez S, Neri PM, Volk LA, Samaha SJ, Newmark LP, Pollard S, Varugheese M, Baxter S, Aronson SJ, Rehm HL, Bates DW.

Published: June 2016

Abstract. A multi-trait repeatability animal model under restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and Bayesian methods was used to estimate genetic parameters of milk, fat, and protein yields in Tunisian Holstein cows. The estimates of heritability for milk, fat, and protein yields from the REML procedure were 0.21 ± 0.05, 0.159 ± 0.04, and 0.158 ± 0.04, respectively. The corresponding results from the Bayesian procedure were 0.273 ± 0.02, 0.198 ± 0.01, and 0.187 ± 0.01. Heritability estimates tended to be larger via the Bayesian than those obtained by the REML method. Genetic and permanent environmental variances estimated by REML were smaller than those obtained by the Bayesian analysis. Inversely, REML estimates of the residual variances were larger than Bayesian estimates. Genetic and permanent correlation estimates were on the other hand comparable by both REML and Bayesian methods with permanent environmental being larger than genetic correlations. Results from this study confirm previous reports on genetic parameters for milk traits in Tunisian Holsteins and suggest that a multi-trait approach can be an alternative for implementing a routine genetic evaluation of the Tunisian dairy cattle population.

Abstract. Currently large uncertainties exist associated with the attribution and quantification of fugitive emissions of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases such as methane across large regions and key economic sectors. In this study, data from the airborne Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer (HyTES) have been used to develop robust and reliable techniques for the detection and wide-area mapping of emission plumes of methane and other atmospheric trace gas species over challenging and diverse environmental conditions with high spatial resolution that permits direct attribution to sources. HyTES is a pushbroom imaging spectrometer with high spectral resolution (256 bands from 7.5 to 12 µm), wide swath (1–2 km), and high spatial resolution (∼ 2 m at 1 km altitude) that incorporates new thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing technologies. In this study we introduce a hybrid clutter matched filter (CMF) and plume dilation algorithm applied to HyTES observations to efficiently detect and characterize the spatial structures of individual plumes of CH4, H2S, NH3, NO2, and SO2 emitters. The sensitivity and field of regard of HyTES allows rapid and frequent airborne surveys of large areas including facilities not readily accessible from the surface. The HyTES CMF algorithm produces plume intensity images of methane and other gases from strong emission sources. The combination of high spatial resolution and multi-species imaging capability provides source attribution in complex environments. The CMF-based detection of strong emission sources over large areas is a fast and powerful tool needed to focus on more computationally intensive retrieval algorithms to quantify emissions with error estimates, and is useful for expediting mitigation efforts and addressing critical science questions.
