Workaholism profiles: Associations with determinants, correlates, and outcomes
Authors: Gillet Nicolas , Morin Alexandre J. S. , Cougot Baptiste , Gagné Marylène 
Published: August 2017

The present series of studies examines how the two dimensions of workaholism (working excessively and compulsively) combine within different profiles of workers. This research also documents the relations between these workaholism profiles and a series of correlates (psychological need thwarting) and adaptive and maladaptive work outcomes. In addition, this research investigates the role of emotional dissonance and employees' perceptions of their workplaces' psychosocial safety climate (Study 1, n = 465), as well as job demands, resources, and perfectionism (Study 2, n = 780) in the prediction of profile membership. Latent profile analysis revealed four identical workaholism profiles in both studies. In Study 1, emotional dissonance predicted a higher likelihood of membership in the Very High, Moderately High, and Moderately Low profiles relative to the Very Low profile. In contrast, Study 2 revealed a more diversified pattern of predictions. In both studies, levels of need thwarting were the highest in the Very High and Moderately High profiles, followed by the Moderately Low profile, and finally by the Very Low profile. Finally, in both studies, the most desirable outcomes levels (e.g., lower levels of work–family conflict and emotional exhaustion, and higher levels of perceived health) were associated with the Very Low profile, followed by the Moderately Low profile, then by the Moderately High profile, and finally by the Very High profile.Practitioner points

The most desirable outcomes are associated with the profile characterized by the lowest levels of workaholism.

Emotional dissonance predicts a lower likelihood of membership in the profile characterized by the lowest levels of workaholism.

Levels of need thwarting are the lowest in the Very Low workaholism profile.

High levels of socially prescribed perfectionism are associated with an increased likelihood of membership into the Very High workaholism profile.

Reducing emotional dissonance, need thwarting, and socially prescribed perfectionism may help to reduce workaholism, in turn leading to more positive outcomes.

Published: August 2017

BackgroundDeployment of the Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) is the preferred method for minimally invasive occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in dogs, with appropriate device sizing crucial to successful closure. Dogs of any body weight can be affected by PDA.ObjectivesTo describe the range of ACDO sizes deployed in dogs of various body weights for improved procedural planning and inventory selection and to investigate for correlation between minimal ductal diameter (MDD) and body weight.AnimalsA total of 152 dogs undergoing ACDO deployment between 2008 and 2016.MethodsBody weight, age, breed, sex, and MDD obtained by angiography (MDD‐A), MDD obtained by transesophageal echocardiography (MDD‐TEE), and ACDO size deployed were retrospectively evaluated.ResultsCorrelation between body weight and ACDO size, MDD‐A and MDD‐TEE was poor, with R‐squared values of 0.4, 0.36, and 0.3, respectively. Femoral artery diameter in the smallest population of dogs placed inherent limitations on the use of larger device sizes, with no limitations on the wide range of device sizes required as patient size increased. The most commonly used ACDO devices were size 3 through 6, representing 57% of the devices deployed within the entire study population.Conclusions and Clinical ImportancePatent ductus arteriosus anatomy varies on an individual basis, with poor correlation between MDD and body weight. Weight‐based assumptions about expected ACDO device size for a given patient are not recommended.

Hepatocutaneous syndrome (HS) is an uncommon skin disorder that occurs in conjunction with liver disease and is diagnosed based on decreased plasma concentrations of amino acids and the histopathology of skin lesions. The survival period generally is <6 months. A 10‐year‐old castrated male Maltese dog was presented for evaluation of lethargy, polyuria, polydipsia, and skin lesions including alopecia, erythema, and crusts. Based on increased liver enzyme activity, low plasma amino acid concentrations, and findings from liver cytology and skin biopsy, the dog was diagnosed with HS. In addition to administration of antioxidants, hepatoprotective agents, and amino acids IV, allogenic adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stem cells were infused 46 times over a 30‐month period: 8 times directly into the liver parenchyma guided by ultrasonography and the remainder of the times into peripheral veins. After commencing stem cell therapy, the dog's hair re‐grew and the skin lesions disappeared or became smaller. During ongoing management, the patient suddenly presented with anorexia and uncontrolled vomiting, and severe azotemia was observed. The dog died despite intensive care. On necropsy, severe liver fibrosis and superficial necrolytic dermatitis were observed. The dog survived for 32 months after diagnosis. A combination of amino acid and stem cell therapy may be beneficial for patients with HS.
Well begun is half done: Interpersonal behaviours in distinct field interrogations with high‐value detainees
Authors: Christiansen Paul , Alison Laurence , Alison Emily 
Published: August 2017

PurposeTo explore the impact of interpersonal versatility on high‐value (terrorist‐related) detainee behaviour and subsequent interview information across distinct interview phases (namely the first and last interviews).MethodsPolice interviews with 48 terrorist detainees framework (mean number of interviews per detainee = 2.93) were coded using the ‘ORBIT’ (Observing Rapport‐Based Interpersonal Techniques; Alison et al., 2014, Psychology, Public Policy and Law, 20, 421). This produced scores for adaptive and maladaptive interpersonal behaviours of detainees and interrogators across four categories: authoritative, passive, confrontational, and cooperative. Mean scores for these variables in the first and last interviews were taken allowing us to analyse the associations between (1) interviewer behaviours and detainee educed information and (2) the indirect effect of interviewer behaviour on information educed through the impact of interviewer adaptive behaviour on detainee adaptive behaviour, separately in the first and last interviews.ResultsThere was a positive association between detainee engagement and information in both the first and last interviews. Specific adaptive interviewer behaviours were associated with adaptive detainee behaviour in different interviews: cooperative and passive predicting improvements in the first interview and cooperative in the final interview. Maladaptive passive and authoritative interviewer behaviours were negatively associated with adaptive detainee behaviour in the first interview, as did maladaptive confrontational in the final interview. Indirect effects of interviewer behaviours on information were also demonstrated.ConclusionsInterpersonal competence (avoiding maladaptive behaviour) and increasing adaptive behaviours are associated with detainee engagement and information. The differences in specific behaviours at different phases that influence information in the two interviews highlight the importance of interpersonal versatility.

AbstractRift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV). Rift Valley fever affects a large number of species, including human, and has severe impact on public health and the economy, especially in African countries. The present study examined the vector competence of three different European mosquito species, Culex pipiens (Linnaeus, 1758) form molestus (Diptera: Culicidae), Culex pipiens hybrid form and Stegomyia albopicta (= Aedes albopictus) (Skuse, 1894) (Diptera: Culicidae). Mosquitoes were artificially fed with blood containing RVFV. Infection, disseminated infection and transmission efficiency were evaluated. This is the first study to assess the transmission efficiency of European mosquito species using a virulent RVFV strain. The virus disseminated in Cx. pipiens hybrid form and in S. albopicta. Moreover, infectious viral particles were isolated from saliva of both species, showing their RVFV transmission capacity. The presence of competent Cx. pipiens and S. albopicta in Spain indicates that an autochthonous outbreak of RVF may occur if the virus is introduced. These findings provide information that will help health authorities to set up efficient entomological surveillance and RVFV vector control programmes.

Summary

Accurate estimates of gamete and offspring dispersal range are required for the understanding and prediction of spatial population dynamics and species persistence. Little is known about gamete dispersal in fungi, especially in lichen‐forming ascomycetes. Here, we estimate the dispersal functions of clonal propagules, gametes and ascospores of the epiphytic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria.

We use hierarchical Bayesian parentage analysis, which integrates genetic and ecological information from multiannual colonization and dispersal source data collected in a large, old‐growth forest landscape.

The effective dispersal range of gametes is several hundred metres to kilometres from potential paternal individuals. By contrast, clonal propagules disperse only tens of metres, and ascospores disperse over several thousand metres.

Our study reveals the dispersal distances of individual reproductive units; clonal propagules, gametes and ascospores, which is of great importance for a thorough understanding of the spatial dynamics of ascomycetes. Sexual reproduction occurs between distant individuals. However, whereas gametes and ascospores disperse over long distances, the overall rate of colonization of trees is low. Hence, establishment is the limiting factor for the colonization of new host trees by the lichen in old‐growth landscapes.

Authors: Cardis Michael A. , Kirkorian Anna Yasmine 
Published: August 2017

AbstractCutaneous horns, which rarely occur in children, can overlie a large array of pathologic lesions that range from benign to malignant. When a cutaneous horn is encountered, it is not the horn itself that is of relevance, it is the nature of the underlying disease that dictates overall prognosis and management. In this report we present a case of a cutaneous horn arising within a linear verrucous epidermal nevus and briefly review cutaneous horns, with an emphasis on their clinical implications and differential diagnosis.
Psychosocial interventions to improve outcomes among dialysis patients
Authors: Krespi Margorit Rita 
Published: August 2017

AbstractPatients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) report high levels of emotional problems and poor compliance with treatment and quality of life. Nevertheless, there are not many studies which examine the effectiveness of different psychosocial interventions in ameliorating these poor outcomes. Theories have been helpful in identifying targets for interventions to improve compliance with treatment, adjustment, and quality of life. However, their effects have been mixed. In particular, interventions incorporating beliefs are promising in improving these outcomes. Moreover, relaxation and imagery techniques have reduced symptoms and have been effective improving adjustment and compliance. Future randomized controlled studies are needed to compare the effects of theory‐based and patient‐derived interventions on compliance with treatment and adjustment.

Published: August 2017

AbstractThe need to meet rapidly increasing demands for synthetic nitrogen (N) while reducing dependence on fossil fuels has been driving widespread attention to the recuperation and reuse of nutrients present in digestate and animal manure. The N release and mineralization potential of animal manure (AM), digestate (DIG), liquid fraction of digestate (LFDIG) and mineral concentrate (MC) were assessed in comparison with N availability from calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a reference. The release was highly dependent on the product ‐N/Ntotal ratio, while mineralization occurred only for products containing more than 5% of organic N. The magnitude of the released N, on average after 120 days of an incubation experiment, was in the order: CAN > MC > LFDIG > DIG ≥ AM. These results indicate that only the N release from MC exhibited patterns similar to CAN, suggesting that this product will provide plant available N in a similar fashion as synthetic fertilizers. The N release from LFDIG was higher than AM, but did not closely follow the pattern of CAN. The N availability in LFDIG may be increased using substrates richer in N, such as animal manure or waste food and not only plant residues.

BACKGROUNDProlonged storage of red blood cells (RBCs) is a potential risk factor for postoperative infections. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of age of RBCs transfused on development of postoperative infection.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSIn this prospective, double‐blind randomized trial, 199 patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery and requiring RBC transfusion were assigned to receive nonleukoreduced RBCs stored for not more than 14 days (“fresh blood” group, n = 101) or for more than 14 days (“old blood” group, n = 98). The primary outcome was occurrence of infection within 28 days after surgery; secondary outcomes were postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), in‐hospital and 90‐day mortality, admission to intensive care unit, and hospital length of stay (LOS). As older blood was not always available, an “as‐treated” (AT) analysis was also performed according to actual age of the RBCs transfused.RESULTSThe median [interquartile range] storage time of RBCs was 6 [5‐10] and 15 [11‐20] days in fresh blood and in old blood groups, respectively. The occurrence of postoperative infection did not differ between groups (fresh blood 22% vs. old blood 25%; relative risk [RR], 1.17; confidence interval [CI], 0.71‐1.93), although wound infections occurred more frequently in old blood (15% vs. 5%; RR, 3.09; CI, 1.17‐ 8.18). Patients receiving older units had a higher rate of AKI (24% vs. 6%; p < 0.001) and, according to AT analysis, longer LOS (mean difference, 3.6 days; CI, 0.6‐7.5).CONCLUSIONProlonged RBC storage time did not increase the risk of postoperative infection. However, old blood transfusion increased wound infections rate and incidence of AKI.

Published: August 2017

BACKGROUNDDrug‐induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) is a serious, life‐threatening clinical syndrome, the diagnosis of which is consistently difficult. In this report, we present a case of DITP caused by meropenem that was confirmed by laboratory tests.CASE REPORTA 59‐year‐old male patient developed severe thrombocytopenia 8 days after the administration of meropenem and cefoperazone‐sulbactam. After other causes were ruled out, DITP was suspected. Drug‐induced platelet (PLT) antibodies were detected by enzyme immunoassay, flow cytometry, and monoclonal antibody immobilization of PLT antigens (MAIPA). All these tests were performed in the presence and absence of the associated drugs.RESULTSPLT antibodies were detected in the patient's serum only in the presence of meropenem. MAIPA experiments demonstrated that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa was the binding site of the meropenem‐induced PLT antibodies.CONCLUSIONSDrug‐induced immune thrombocytopenia should be considered in cases of acute thrombocytopenia in patients undergoing meropenem treatment. Clinicians should be cognizant of DITP, and a definitive diagnosis should be pursued, if feasible.
Supernatant reduction of stored gamma‐irradiated red blood cells minimizes potentially harmful substances present in transfusion aliquots for neonates

Published: August 2017

BACKGROUNDIn neonate transfusion, the use of a dedicated red blood cell (RBC) unit decreases donor exposure. A separate safety measure involves gamma irradiation of the RBCs to abrogate the possibility of transfusion‐associated graft‐versus‐host disease. However, in combination, storage of gamma‐irradiated RBCs leads to accumulation of potentially harmful substances in the supernatant.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSFor this study, RBCs were pooled and split into three study arms. Centrifugation or gravity was used to pack RBCs of matched units thereby reducing the amount of supernatant that would be present in neonate transfusion aliquots; these were compared to matched control units. Supernatant measurements of potassium, hemoglobin (Hb), RBC microvesicle (RMV) content, and mannitol were made in aliquots prepared weekly up to 21 days after gamma irradiation. RBC morphology and osmotic fragility were also assessed to determine if supernatant reduction methods affected the storage lesion.RESULTSPotassium and mannitol were significantly decreased in transfusion aliquots prepared with either of the supernatant reduction methods. On Day 21, potassium levels from supernatant‐reduced aliquots were below those of Day 7 control aliquots. A decrease in free Hb was only detected on Day 21 in centrifuged aliquots. RMVs were significantly reduced in centrifuged aliquots and significantly increased in gravity‐settled aliquots. The only measurable effect on storage lesion was a small increase in osmotic fragility of the RBCs subjected to supernatant reduction.CONCLUSIONSupernatant reduction by centrifugation effectively reduces potassium, mannitol, and RMVs in aliquots from gamma‐irradiated RBCs stored up to 21 days.

Published: August 2017

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the causes of hyphema in dogs and identify factors associated with poor visual outcomes.Animals studiedNinety‐nine dogs (120 eyes) that presented with hyphema.ProcedureMedical records from the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital between the years 2004‐2015 were reviewed.ResultsOverall, 36.4% of dogs were diagnosed with hyphema from systemic causes, 32.9% due to local ocular disease, 26.1% due to trauma, and 4.5% due to idiopathic causes. Regardless of cause, 55.4% of eyes were blind at their last recheck, but the percentage of eyes that lost vision ranged from 11.1 to 100%, depending on the cause. Causes of hyphema with poor outcomes were ocular neoplasia, chronic uveitis, and trauma. Enucleation was performed or recommended in 36 eyes (39.5%), and 27 eyes (31.4%) were diagnosed with glaucoma. Initial exam findings associated with a significantly increased risk of blindness were absent consensualPLR(odds ratio (OR) = 28.6), absent dazzle (OR = 19.4), elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) (OR = 9.1), presence of a retinal detachment (OR = 7.6), unilateral hyphema (OR = 5.8), and complete hyphema (OR = 3.9). Factors associated with a significantly increased risk of glaucoma included hyphema present for 8–30 days (OR > 6), absent consensualPLR(OR = 6.4), absent dazzle (OR = 5.3), and the presence of a retinal detachment at the final evaluation (OR = 5.8).ConclusionPrognosis for vision is highly dependent on the cause of hyphema and initial exam findings. Poor prognostic factors on presentation include absent dazzle, absent consensualPLR, elevatedIOP, unilateral hyphema, and complete hyphema.
The bladder ran dry: bilateral ureteral obstruction

Published: August 2017

A relatively young healthy man (barring obesity and distant gouty arthritis) was admitted with severe acute kidney injury (serum creatinine, 15.9 mg/dL) following acute gastroenteritis and occasional use of diclofenac. Abdominal ultrasound revealed mild left hydronephrosis due to staghorn stone and normal right kidney. Soon after, complete anuria necessitating haemodialysis developed without pain or evidence of infection. CT imaging revealed stones obstructing the right ureter. Following urological surgery, postobstructive diuresis developed and the serum creatinine came down to near normal. The stones were identified as uric acid stones.Anuria has a relatively narrow differential and painless (partially non-dilated) bilateral ureteral obstruction is a distinctly unusual cause. A review of the literature to cover all reported causes of bilateral ureteral obstruction is presented. Only a minority of cases were not associated with an underlying malignant disease or its treatment. The multifactorial aetiology of the patient's acute kidney injury (volume depletion, diclofenac and obstructive uropathy) is presented and discussed.
