An Early Methodist Revival in the West Indies: Insights from a Neglected Letter of 1774
Authors: Glen Robert 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
In 1773, Francis and Mary Gilbert travelled from England to Antigua to visit Francis's brother, the planter Nathaniel Gilbert III. After the couple arrived, they helped to promote one of the earliest Methodist revivals in the Caribbean. By the time the Gilberts returned to England in 1775, the island's Methodist membership had increased by more than threefold. Because it was so poorly documented, however, the revival has received little attention. This article presents a full transcription of a manuscript letter on the revival written by Mary Gilbert in August 1774 and discusses the significance of the information it contains.
A Local Study of the Dynamics of Wesleyan Methodist Revival in North Cumbria, 1840–1920
Authors: Bray Emma Rachel 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
This article examines the internal dynamics of revival in Wesleyan Methodism in north Cumbria in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It seeks to identify whether those who were converted in specific revivals were drawn from within the existing Methodist community or from outside. In one example, Sunday scholars' rolls were used in conjunction with an exercise in household penetration to show that momentum for the revival took hold among those already participating on the fringes of a Wesleyan society. It will be argued that revival remained popular in these Cumbrian Methodist societies into the twentieth century.

Giant cell tumor of bone is considered by his behavior a benign but aggressive neoplasm. The objective of our study was to determine if there is a correlation between the Campanacci’s radiological classification of giant cell tumors of bone and the expression by immunohistochemistry of Cyclin D1 and proliferation cell nuclear antibody (PCNA). A retrospective and descriptive study was made. In total, there were 27 cases. All cases showed Cyclin D1 and PCNA positivity. Rho Spearman for Campanacci and Cyclin D1 expression was 0.06 and for Campanacci and PCNA was 0.418. We conclude that there is a positive correlation between PCNA expression in giant cell tumors of Bone and the Campanacci’s radiological classification II and III, butCyclin D1 expression was no related with radiologic features.

Migrations et « nouvelles mobilités » : regards d’élèves et d’enseignants dans une école de langue française en Ontario (Canada)
Authors: Farmer Diane 
Published: January 2017

L’attention portée à la mobilité géographique – déplacements quotidiens, tourisme, migration, immigration, mouvements transnationaux, les configurations sont nombreuses – permet d’ouvrir de nouveaux chantiers en ce qui a trait à la construction de sens dans les relations à l’altérité. L’école est sans équivoque l'un des principaux lieux où se manifestent les pratiques plus mobiles des familles. Comment les élèves et les enseignants d’une école caractérisée par des mouvements rapides de population donnent-ils sens à leur parcours migratoire, en lien avec celui des autres acteurs de l’école, et dans l’esprit de vivre dans un monde en commun? Comment l’école s’adapte-t-elle au renouvellement continu des familles? Cet article présente la réflexion d’élèves, d’enseignants et de la direction d’une école de langue française de quartier populaire en Ontario. Il met en lien les représentations d’acteurs à partir de récits et entrevues dans le cadre des multiples mouvements migratoires caractéristiques du monde d’aujourd’hui. L’analyse vise à remettre en question le travail de classification entre locaux et migrants, en cherchant à mettre en valeur le travail de co-construction d’un univers de sens réalisé par les enfants et les adultes d’une école primaire.
Capturing H and H2 by SiHx
+ (x ≤ 4) ions: Comparison between Langevin and quantum statistical models

Abstract
H, H2, and SiH
x

+ (x ≤ 4) ions coexist under plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) conditions. We have studied the kinetics of their interactions by high-level quantum chemical and statistical theory calculations, and compared the results with classical Langevin values (∼2 × 10−9 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 independent of temperature). The results indicate that, for H capturing by SiH
x

+ (x ≤ 4), both theories agree within a factor of 2–4, whereas for H2 capturing by SiH
x

+ (x ≤ 3), the modern theory gives higher and weakly temperature-dependent values by up to more than one order of magnitude, attributable to reaction path degeneracies and increased entropies of activation. The heats of formation and structural parameters of SiH
x

+ ions (x ≤ 5) in this work agree well with available experimental data. For practical applications, we have provided tables of rate constants for modeling various processes of relevance to the PECVD of a-Si:H films.
Võrdleva kirjandusteaduse ja maailmakirjanduse sümbiootilise koosolu väljavaatest / Towards a Symbiotic Coexistence of Comparative Literature and World Literature
Authors: Talvet Jüri 
Published: January 2017

Teesid: Artiklis on sedastatud, et võrdleval kirjandusteadusel ei ole kunagi tegelikult olnud avaral kirjandusväljal otsustavat ega keskset staatust, ent samal ajal pole ka kirjandustraditsioonide põhjalik eraldi uurimine suutnud täita arvukaid tühikuid kirjandusloome kui laiema kultuurinähtuse mõistmisel, ehkki see mõjutab (sageli nähtamatult) tervete ühiskondade maailmavaadet ja väärtushinnanguid. Arendades edasi mõtteid, mis on esitatud raamatus „Sümbiootiline kultuur“ ning artiklis „Edaphos and Episteme of Comparative Literature“, aga ka Juri Lotmani ideid, on soovitatud kasutada sümbiootilist lähenemist kirjandusele, mis püüaks lepitada äärmuslikke vastandeid ning algatada dialoogi, tugevdades seega võrdleva kirjandusteaduse positsiooni ning ühtlasi maailma kirjanduste uurimise valdkonda. In his article Jüri Talvet postulates that comparative literature has never really enjoyed a pivotal or central status in the broad field of literary studies, yet at the same time specialized studies of separate literary traditions have not been able to fill numerous gaps in the understanding of literary creation as a broader cultural phenomenon influencing (although often invisibly) the world view and axiological attitudes of entire societies and vast communities of people. Developing some ideas presented in his book A Call for Cultural Symbiosis (2005) and in his article “Edaphos and Episteme in Comparative Literature”, (Intelitteraria 2005), as well as the ideas of Juri M. Lotman, Talvet proposes a symbiotic approach aimed at reconciling extreme oppositions and establishing a dialogue that would strengthen the position of the discipline of comparative literature, as well as the field of world literatures.

BackgroundMalaria elimination campaigns are planned or active in many countries. The effects of malaria elimination on immune responses such as antigen-specific IFN-γresponses are not well characterized.MethodsIFN-γresponses to theP. falciparumantigens circumsporozoite protein, liver stage antigen-1, thrombospondin-related adhesive protein, apical membrane antigen-1, MB2, and merozoite surface protein-1 were tested by ELISA in 243 individuals in highland Kenya in April 2008, October 2008, and April 2009, after a one-year period of interrupted malaria transmission from April 2007 to March 2008.ResultsWhile one individual (0.4%) tested positive forP. falciparumby PCR inOctober 2008 and another two (0.9%) tested positive in April 2009, no clinical malaria cases were detected during weekly visits. Levels of IFN-γto all antigens decreased significantly from April 2008 to April 2009 (allP< 0.001).DiscussionNaturally acquired IFN-γresponses toP. falciparumantigensare short-lived in the absence of repeatedP. falciparuminfection. Even short periods of malaria interruption may significantly decrease IFN-γresponses toP. falciparumantigens.

To determine the efficacy of obstetric ultrasonography in the detection of fetal cleft lip.The study population included all women who had a fetal anatomic survey with adequate visualization of the face and who gave birth at Brigham and Women's Hospital between January 1, 1990, and January 31, 2000. All neonates born with cleft lip were identified from the Brigham and Women's Active Malformation Surveillance Program. Confirmation of the anatomic defect was obtained from the pediatric record or from the pathologic report if the pregnancy was terminated or ended in miscarriage. Cases of isolated cleft palate were excluded. An ultrasonography database was used to identify all cases of cleft lip diagnosed before delivery. Maternal information regarding the pregnancy was abstracted from the medical record. Statistical significance was determined using the chi2 statistic for categorical variables and the t test for continuous variables.A total of 56 confirmed cases of cleft lip were identified in the study population. Overall, 73% of the cases (41 of 56) were identified antenatally. Additional fetal anomalies were present in 54% of the cases (30 of 56). A comparison between those cases that were detected and those in which the diagnosis was missed showed that there was a significantly lower detection rate if the ultrasonography was performed before 20 weeks (12 [57%] of 21 versus 29 [83%] of 35; P = .035). There was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of maternal age or weight. Maternal parity, prior maternal abdominal surgery, the presence of a multiple gestation, or coexisting fetal anomalies did not significantly affect the detection rate. There was no difference in detection rate in the first half of the study period (1990‐1995; 23 [72%] of 32) compared with the second half (1996‐2000; 18 [76%] of 24; P = .79).In this cohort of women, the rate of detection of fetal cleft lip was significantly lower when the anatomic survey was performed before 20 weeks' gestation. This difference could not be accounted for by such variables as prior maternal abdominal surgery, coexisting fetal anomalies, or improvements in ultrasonographic detection with time. We recommend that the anatomic survey for fetuses at high risk for this condition be performed after 20 weeks' gestation.

To characterize the sonographic appearance of the uterine cavity after uncomplicated first‐trimester abortion.Women who underwent uterine evacuation for first‐trimester abortion were referred for endovaginal sonographic examination within the week after the procedure. Special attention was directed to characterizing the intrauterine cavity. Demographic and clinical parameters were collected. A repeated postmenstrual examination was carried out in selected cases.In all, 57, 10, and 7 sonographic examinations were performed after termination of pregnancy, incomplete (spontaneous) abortion, and missed abortion, respectively. Fifty‐seven (77%) of the 74 examinations showed considerable amounts of intrauterine content with various echogenicities (anteroposterior thickness range, 7‐61 mm). No association could be documented between the pattern of appearance and gravidity, parity, gestational age, or type of abortion procedure. All postmenstrual reevaluations of patients with excessive amounts of intrauterine material at the initial examination (n = 7) showed empty intrauterine cavities.Within the week after first‐trimester abortion, the uterine cavity is seldom empty. Thick heterogeneous material is an expected finding after examination. By being familiar with this normal range of appearances, clinicians can avoid unnecessary repeated invasive evacuation procedures. A follow‐up sonographic evaluation during the follicular phase of the next menstrual cycle is recommended to confirm the absence of retained products of pregnancy.

To develop a noninvasive method for treatment of uterine fibroid tumors using high‐intensity focused ultrasound. Optimal high‐intensity focused ultrasound treatment would be dependent on quantitative information about ultrasonic tissue characteristics.Ultrasonic attenuation and the sound speed of fresh human fibroid tumors and myometrium were measured as a function of frequency (1‐3 MHz) by using a pulse transmission technique before and after in vitro high‐intensity focused ultrasound treatment (3.5 MHz at an intensity of 2,000 W/cm2).The ranges of the attenuation coefficients, before and after high‐intensity focused ultrasound treatment, were 0.9 to 2.2 and 1.8 to 3.9 dB/cm2, respectively, for fibroid tumors and 0.5 to 1.6 and 1.7 to 3.3 dB/cm2, respectively, for myometrium. Although the sound speed appeared to be independent of frequency (1,611 to 1,616 m/s at 1 to 3 MHz) in both types of tissues, a slight increase of approximately 4 to 14 m/s was observed after high‐intensity focused ultrasound treatment.The results of this study represent our first reported values of the attenuation coefficient and sound speed in fibroid tumors and myometrium before and after high‐intensity focused ultrasound treatment.
Quantifying B‐mode images of in vivo rat mammary tumors by the frequency dependence of backscatter.

Published: January 2017

To evaluate the frequency dependence of ultrasonic backscatter for its ability to differentiate between neoplastic and healthy tissue.Standard B‐mode images were created of 5 rats with spontaneous mammary tumors, and regions of interest in the lesion and surrounding tissue were parameterized by the slope of the backscatter amplitude versus frequency.In 4 of the 5 rats, the averaged backscatter slope of the regions of interest in the tumor was significantly (P < .05) different from that of the surrounding tissue, and the fifth case had a moderate difference (P = .20). The consistency of the averaged slope values (1.2‐1.8 dB/MHz) across all but 1 of the mammary tumors was encouraging for the prospect of identifying a tissue type by its backscatter slope.This work suggests that characterization and diagnosis of tissue types may be possible by using ultrasonographic images quantified by the frequency dependence of backscatter.
Fetal intracardiac echogenic foci: visualization depends on the orientation of the 4‐chamber view.

Published: January 2017

To compare the frequency of visualization of echogenic intracardiac foci in different cardiac views.Women having ultrasonographic examinations between October 1997 and July 1998 were prospectively evaluated if a fetal echogenic intracardiac focus was seen in either ventricle.Echogenic intracardiac foci were seen in 89 fetuses in whom both the apical and lateral 4‐chamber heart views were obtained. Eight‐six fetuses (97%) had a single focus (83 in the left ventricle and 3 in the right ventricle), and 3 (3%) had 2 foci. Echogenic intracardiac foci were seen in the apical 4‐chamber view in 89 (100%) and in the lateral 4‐chamber view in only 26 (29%; P = .001).Echogenic intracardiac foci are not easily seen in the lateral 4‐chamber view. Studies that suggest an increased risk of aneuploidy when echogenic foci are seen should specify the orientation of the 4‐chamber view used.

Published: January 2017

To determine whether there is a relationship between gray scale or Doppler characteristics of the corpus luteum and first‐trimester pregnancy outcome.We conducted a prospective study of patients with spontaneous singleton pregnancies between 5 and 8 weeks' gestation. The corpus luteum size, sonographic appearance, resistive index, and peak systolic velocity were measured on transvaginal sonography. Maternal use of exogeneous progesterone was recorded. Only patients with known first‐trimester outcome were included.There were 201 study patients. The corpus luteum could be visualized in 197 (98%) and had a mean +/‐ SD size of 1.9 +/‐ 0.6 cm, a mean resistive index of 0.50 +/‐ 0.08, and a peak systolic velocity of 20.5 +/‐ 11.2 cm/s. There were 151 first‐trimester survivors (75.1 %) and 50 spontaneous losses (24.9%). In a comparison of the survivors and losses, there was no significant difference in mean corpus luteum size (1.9 versus 1.7 cm; P = .10, t test), mean resistive index (0.50 versus 0.50; P = .71, t test), peak systolic velocity (21 versus 19 cm/s; P = .29, t test), or sonographic appearance (P = .78, chi2 test). The lack of association between corpus luteum characteristics and outcome persisted when cases were stratified by progesterone use and the presence or absence of a heartbeat on the study sonogram.There is no apparent relationship between the characteristics of the corpus luteum and first‐trimester pregnancy outcome.

Published: January 2017

To evaluate the use of transvaginal sonography for the detection of pelvic adhesions by using clear free fluid in the pouch of Douglas found after ovum pickup.A prospective clinical study was performed in an infertility unit of an academic research facility. Sonography was performed in 50 women with infertility 3 days after ovum pickup, and the visceral peritoneum of the uterus, the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes was scanned for possible pelvic adhesions.The serosal surfaces of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes were successfully observed for the presence of adhesions in 86%, 68%, and 20% of the patients, respectively. Improved visualization was associated with an increased amount of pelvic fluid for the uterus (P = .01) but not for the ovaries and fallopian tubes. The amount of fluid in the pelvis correlated with an increased number of retrieved oocytes (P = .07) and a decreased need for manual manipulation to achieve proper imaging of the uterus (P = .001).Transvaginal sonography performed in the presence of fluid in the pelvis may show adhesions mainly attached to the uterus and ovaries. Assessment of possible mechanical factors is important in planning treatment of patients with infertility.
