Published: December 2016

Purpose To report a case of juxtapapillary polypoidal choroidal neovascularization (PCNV) associated with choroidal nevus investigated by means of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Methods Case report. Results A 72-year-old woman presented with visual loss and metamorphopsia in her left eye for 5 days secondary to PCNV that developed on the border of a juxtapapillary choroidal nevus. Fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and spectral-domain OCT confirmed the diagnosis. En face OCT-A disclosed a large tangled hyperreflective PCNV spreading from the optic disc at different levels of the choriocapillaris; the polyp lumina appeared hyporeflective. The patient was treated with 3 intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor with partial functional recovery. Conclusions Our case showed the application of OCT-A in the diagnosis of a case of active PCNV complicating a benign intraocular tumor.

Purpose To report a case of a 34-year-old female with endometriosis and a complication presented with gross hematuria due to bladder injury after transvaginal oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization. Case Report A 34-year-old woman with endometriosis presented with gross hematuria 4 days after oocyte retrieval and was conservatively followed up. Results As an uncommon emerging situation after oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization procedure, gross hematuria is pointed as a complication with an endometriosis patient. Conclusions Although a transvaginal approach is accepted as a safe and simpler technique for oocyte retrieval, complications like adjacent organ injury should be kept in mind. Especially in patients with endometriosis, in whom pelvic anatomy is distorted due to adhesions, oocyte pick-up procedure should be carried out more carefully.
The morphosyntax of aspect stacking in Northeastern Neo-Aramaic
Authors: Kalin Laura 
Published: December 2016

Many Northeastern Neo-Aramaic languages have two distinct strategies for marking perfective aspect, both morphosyntactically restricted in different ways. The canonical perfective strategy – the perfective verb base – typically bans certain types of objects, while the secondary perfective strategy – the imperfective verb base bearing the perfective prefix qam- – requires a certain type of object. This paper deals mainly with the secondary perfective strategy, attempting to understand and formally characterize its distribution and structure. While this phenomenon is well-known in the descriptive and historical literature (see Coghill 1999 and references therein), it has never before received theoretical treatment. I argue that qam- is a high perfective aspect marker analogous to certain so-called “superlexical” prefixes in Slavic languages, which have a perfectivizing function and select for an imperfective stem (Babko-Malaya 1999; 2003; Ramchand 2004; Romanova 2004; Tatevosov 2008; Gribanova 2013; i.a.). Slavic-like stacking of high aspects is thus shown to exist in languages that lack a corresponding system of rich lexical aspect (cf. the Slavic “lexical” prefixes). The secondary perfective in Northeastern Neo-Aramaic also illuminates another cross-linguistic pattern: apparent temporal or aspectual mismatches between the clause level and the verb-stem/base level, like those found in Indo-Iranian languages (Haig 2008), need not imply that the verb bases/stems lack tense and aspect. Finally, I show that the secondary perfective furnishes a new type of argument for the syntactic nature of φ-agreement.

Published: December 2016

Aims of the study: This study aims (i) to monitor the amount of dust deposition during dry season in the moist temperate forest; (ii) to study nature of P fractions in the dust samples falling on the trees in the region; (iii) to study soil P fractions as influenced by the processes of throughfall and stemflow of a Blue Pine (Pinus wallichiana) canopy and to finger print the contribution of dust towards P input in the temperate forest ecosystem.Area of study: The site used for the collection of soil samples was situated at an elevation of 6900 feet above sea levels (temperate forest in Himalaya region) in the Thandani area national forest located in the north west of Pakistan.Material and methods: For soil sampling and processing, three forest sites with three old tree plants per site were selected at approximately leveled plain for surface soil sampling. Two dust samples were collected and analyzed for different physicochemical properties along with different P fractions. First dust sample was collected from a site situated at an elevation of 4000 feet and second one was collected from an elevation of 6500 feet above sea levels. Modified Hedley procedure for the fractionation of P in the dust and soil samples were used.Main results: The input of dust was 43 and 20 kg ha-1 during drier months of the year (September-June) at lower and higher elevation sites respectively, and the dust from lower elevation site had relative more all P fractions than the other dust sample. However, HCl-Pi fraction was dominant in both samples. Both labile (water plus NaHCO3) and non-labile (NaOH plus HCl) inorganic P (Pi) fractions were significantly increased in the surface soil by both stemflow and throughfall compared to the open field soil. The buildup of NaOH and HCl-Pi pools in soils underneath the canopy might prove useful in fingerprinting the contribution of atmospheric dust towards P cycling in this temperate forest.Research highlights: The role of dust in the cycling of P in temperate forest in Himalaya region.Keywords: soil phosphorus fractions; atmospheric dust; stemflow, throughfall; temperate forest.
Antifouling Effectiveness and Potential Toxicological Risk of an Elastomer-Based Coating against Zebra Mussels
Authors: Lafontaine Yves de , Veillette Julie 
Published: November 2016

The fouling of hard substrates by zebra mussels (Dreissena sp.) in freshwater ecosystems is a persistent problem which calls for antifouling treatments being fully efficient, long-lasting, and environmentally safe. The present study assessed the potential toxicological impact and the effectiveness of an elastomer-based coating containing salts that would make surfaces repulsive to zebra mussel attachment. Laboratory testing using standard analytical methods for water and wastewater, and a battery of six bioassays confirmed that the leachates from the coating exhibited no toxic response suggesting its safety to the receiving environment. In situ experiments using multi-plate collectors indicated that biofouling by zebra mussels and sponges on coated surfaces was effectively reduced by up to 97% over one growing season. Effectiveness of the coating was slightly less (82%) during the second growing season. Results suggested that the repulsive effect would be due to the presence of salts within the elastomer-based coating affecting both zebra mussels and other freshwater organisms. Saltwater experiments indicated that the coating was totally ineffective to prevent biofouling in marine environments. In addition of being environmentally safe to use, results suggested that the coating can be an effective antifouling product for submerged structures in freshwater environments.
Les enjeux éthiques de la pratique de l’ergothérapie : perceptions d’ergothérapeutes
Authors: Drolet Marie-Josée , Maclure Joanie 
Published: November 2016

Peu d’études ont documenté les enjeux éthiques de la pratique de l’ergothérapie, c’est-à-dire les situations susceptibles de compromettre une valeur éthique. Pour combler cette lacune, une recherche inductive a été menée. À cette fin, un devis phénoménologique a été utilisé, soit la phénoménologie descriptive et transcendantale de Husserl. Des entretiens qualitatifs ont été réalisés auprès de 26 ergothérapeutes francophones du Québec ayant des caractéristiques variées. L’analyse des verbatim montre que plusieurs valeurs sont compromises en pratique, soit : l’autonomie des patients, l’autonomie professionnelle des ergothérapeutes, la dignité humaine, l’engagement occupationnel, l’holisme et l’écologisme, la justice sociale, le partenariat et le professionnalisme. Ces résultats révèlent qu’il est parfois difficile d’actualiser une pratique respectueuse des valeurs estimées importantes pour des ergothérapeutes. En général, les résultats de la recherche sont comparables à ceux des écrits sur le sujet.
L’archive iconographique : que nous révèle la culture visuelle des débuts de la psychiatrie française au dix-neuvième siècle ?
Authors: Jubinville Ginette 
Published: November 2016

Cet article vise à construire, par l’analyse d’un domaine archivistique inédit ou négligé, une nouvelle histoire de la naissance de la psychiatrie, celle de sa culture visuelle.
L’analyse des oeuvres d’art commandées par les premiers aliénistes français au début du dix-neuvième siècle met en lumière, d’une manière exceptionnelle, la reconnaissance de subjectivation et d’autonomie de la personne malade mentalement, qui est l’espoir inhérent au projet initial de la psychiatrie.
Les artistes qui répondent aux commandes des premiers aliénistes expriment cet idéal, véhiculé tant par la philanthropie humaniste de l’aliénisme que par le vocabulaire artistique du dix-neuvième siècle, fait d’expression subjective et de recherche d’objectivité. Certains artistes reconnaissent cette subjectivité au malade que ce soit de manière directe dans sa représentation en tant qu’individu autonome, ou dans les portraits d’aliénistes qui induisent sa présence sous le regard du médecin, ou encore de manière implicite dans l’architecture asilaire qui sollicite sa sensibilité et sa cognition.
Les Pinceaux d’Or : une expérience d’hygiène mentale auprès d’aînés en besoins psychosociaux
Authors: Wallot Hubert 
Published: November 2016

Vieillir en santé exige l’ajustement d’un développement personnel à poursuivre. Plusieurs recherches, notamment Cohen (2007), ont démontré l’impact positif d’activités artistiques pour les personnes âgées. À Québec est né en 2006 un organisme sans but lucratif (OSBL), Les Pinceaux d’Or. Sa mission est de valoriser les aînés démunis à travers une expérience positive d’apprentissage de la peinture. L’organisme intervient dans des Centres hospitaliers de soins psychiatriques (CHSP), Habitations à loyer modique (HLM) et Centres de jours auprès de personnes référées par les Centres locaux des services communautaires (CLSC) ou les organismes communautaires. L’unique condition de participation : être une personne âgée capable de tenir un pinceau, expérience nouvelle pour la majorité. L’âge moyen est 81 ans, quatre furent centenaires (101 à 109 ans)
Le participant utilise ses souvenirs pour personnaliser le sujet de sa toile, occasion d’échanges émotionnels positifs avec les autres, sans compter le plaisir de découvrir qu’il peut apprendre encore. L’article décrit l’expérience et présente les résultats d’une étude qualitative du Centre d’excellence sur le vieillissement de Québec (CEVQ). Cette activité illustre une forme de contribution au stade intégrité décrite par Erikson et les éléments de la philosophie du rétablissement :
Les expulsions pour arriérés de loyer au Québec : un contentieux de masse
Authors: Gallié Martin , Brunet Julie , Laniel Richard-Alexandre 
Published: December 2016

Depuis son entrée en fonction en 1980, la Régie du logement du Québec — le tribunal en charge du contentieux entre propriétaires et locataires — reçoit entre 30 000 et 50 000 demandes d’expulsions pour arriérés de loyer par année. Ces recours représentent entre 45 % et 62 % de l’ensemble du contentieux traité par la Régie, selon les années considérées. Dans une province de huit millions d’habitant(e)s, dont 40 % sont locataires, il s’agit d’un « contentieux de masse ». À partir d’une étude de la législation, de la jurisprudence et d’une enquête de terrain à la Régie, les auteurs s’interrogent sur le droit en vigueur et la procédure relative aux deux cas précis autorisant l’expulsion pour des arriérés de loyer : le retard de plus de trois semaines et les retards fréquents. Ils décrivent une procédure expéditive notamment parce que le pouvoir discrétionnaire des magistrats pour tenir compte des obligations contractuelles des locateurs, de la proportionnalité de la décision, du témoignage et du préjudice des locataires est marginal. Il s’agit ainsi d’un contentieux largement « sans espoir », lors duquel les causes du non-paiement et les conséquences humaines et sociales de l’expulsion sont écartées. Les auteurs défendent alors l’hypothèse que ces éléments contribuent à miner la confiance des justiciables envers le système judiciaire et participent à expliquer l’absentéisme des locataires aux audiences, tout comme le taux extrêmement faible de la représentation par avocat. Dans cette perspective, ils invitent à remettre en question le droit en vigueur et sa conformité avec les règles de droit international au premier rang desquelles, le droit au logement.
La philosophie politique et le Code civil du Québec : l’exemple de la notion de patrimoine
Authors: Ricard Laurence 
Published: December 2016

Dans la tradition du droit civil, la réflexion sur les fondements du droit s’est scindée en deux catégories à partir du XIXe siècle : la philosophie du droit a dès lors été délaissée par les juristes au profit d’une théorie du droit, discipline fondée sur les prémisses du positivisme et consacrée à l’étude de la cohérence interne du droit. Ce faisant, la réflexion sur la conception de la justice véhiculée par les textes de droit s’est érodée. De nos jours, la philosophie du droit, une branche de la philosophie politique, connaît un essor spectaculaire dans la tradition anglo-saxonne. Les spécialistes de ce domaine utilisent les outils de la philosophie politique contemporaine pour évaluer les conséquences morales et éthiques du système juridique. Cet article cherche à démontrer la pertinence de l’analyse philosophique du droit civil, et plus particulièrement du Code civil. À titre d’exemple, l’auteure mène une analyse de la notion de patrimoine au sein du Code civil du Québec à travers le prisme des débats de philosophie politique contemporaine au sujet des différentes conceptions de la propriété.
Detection of chlorobenzene in water using a wettability-controlled three-dimensional graphene selective filter
Authors: Lim Taekyung , Lee Jaejun , Kim Jihyoung , Seo Sungwon , Ju Sanghyun 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
An oxide nanowire transistor covered with a wettability-controlled three-dimensional (3D) graphene filter was fabricated to detect chlorobenzene in water. The 3D porous graphene filter allowed chlorobenzene to pass through while blocking water because of its wettability. The chlorobenzene concentration in water could be monitored by observing the threshold voltage shift, which moved to the negative direction with increasing chlorobenzene concentration in water. The advantage of the fabricated device is that it can be used to easily estimate the chlorobenzene concentration in water by consistently monitoring current.
Structural, electronic, and magnetic properties in transition-metal-doped arsenene: Ab initio study
Authors: Luo Min , Shen Yu Hao , Yin Tai Ling 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of arsenene doped with five different transition-metal (TM) atoms (TM = Co, Cu, Mn, Fe, and Ni) are investigated using the density functional theory. Magnetism is observed in the cases of Cu, Mn, Fe, and Ni. Among these four magnetic systems, the Ni-doped system is the most easily formed. Hence, we study the ferromagnetic (FM) interaction in two-Ni-doped arsenene. It is found that the p–d hybridization mechanism results in the ferromagnetic state. However, the FM interaction is obviously depressed by the increasing Ni–Ni distance, which could be well explained by the Zener–Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) theory. Moreover, exotic phenomena appear in the two-Mn-doped system. Both nonmagnetic and ferromagnetic states are observed.
Formation of highly planarized Ni–W electrodeposits for glass imprinting mold
Authors: Yasui Manabu , Kaneko Satoru , Kurouchi Masahito , Ito Hiroaki , Ozawa Takeshi , Arai Masahiro 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
We confirmed that increasing the total metal concentration is effective for the planarization of Ni–W films and Ni–W nanopatterns formed with a uniform height and a 480 nm pitch. At the same time, the W content in Ni–W films decreased. We investigated the relationship between the planarization of Ni–W films and the W content in Ni–W films, and confirmed that increasing the total metal concentration is effective for the inhibition of hydrogen generation. We pointed to the inhibition of hydrogen gas generation as a cause of the planarization of Ni–W films, and the reduction in the hydrogen generation amount necessary for the deposition of W as a cause of the reduction in the W content in Ni–W films. In order to obtain a flat plating film with a high W content, it is necessary to generate an adequate amount of hydrogen on the surface of the cathode and to remove hydrogen gas from the cathode surface immediately.

Published: November 2016

ObjectiveCalcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD) is a common cause of acute and chronic arthritis, yet there are few large epidemiologic studies of CPDD. We sought to characterize CPDD in the national Veterans Affairs (VA) population.MethodsUsing data from the Department of VA Corporate Data Warehouse, patients with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, codes for CPDD seen at any VA medical center from 2010 through 2014 were matched by age and sex with control patients without CPDD. We used multivariate analysis to compare the prevalence and odds ratios (ORs) of various comorbidities, substance use, medication exposures, and arthroplasties among patients with and without CPDD.ResultsWe identified 25,157 patients with CPDD, yielding a point prevalence of 5.2 per 1,000. The mean ± SD age was 68.1 ± 12.3 years, and 95% were male. The strongest positive associations with CPDD were hyperparathyroidism (OR 3.35 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.96–3.79]), gout (OR 2.82 [95% CI 2.69–2.95]), osteoarthritis (OR 2.26 [95% CI 2.15–2.37]), rheumatoid arthritis (OR 1.88 [95% CI 1.74–2.03]), and hemochromatosis (OR 1.87 [95% CI 1.57–2.24]). Positive associations were also seen with higher odds for osteoporosis (OR 1.26 [95% CI 1.16–1.36]), hypomagnesemia (OR 1.23 [95% CI 1.16–1.30]), chronic kidney disease (OR 1.12 [95% CI 1.07–1.18]), and calcium supplementation (OR 1.15 [95% CI 1.06–1.24). Negative associations were seen with proton‐pump inhibitors (OR 0.58 [95% CI 0.55–0.60]) and loop diuretics (OR 0.80 [95% CI 0.76–0.84]).ConclusionUsing a large national data set, we confirmed known associations with CPDD, provided support for positive associations with rheumatoid arthritis, hypomagnesemia, and osteoporosis, and suggested potential novel negative associations with commonly used medications.

ObjectiveTo examine the impact of care fragmentation across multiple health care institutions on disease outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsUsing the Chicago HealthLNK Data Repository, an assembly of electronic health records from 6 institutions, we identified patients with SLE, using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD‐9) codes, whose care was delivered at more than 1 organization. We examined whether patients had severe infections or comorbidities (ICD‐9 code defined) that indicated SLE‐induced damage. T‐tests and chi‐square tests were used to examine differences between fragmentation groups. Logistic regression was used to assess factors contributing to the occurrence of disease outcomes.ResultsWe identified 4,276 patients with SLE. A total of 856 (20%) received care from more than 1 health care institution. African American patients and patients with public insurance were more likely to experience care fragmentation compared to white and private insurance patients (odds ratio [OR] 1.66, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.44–1.97 and OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.42–1.95). We identified increased risk of infections (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.30–1.88), cardiovascular disease (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.23–1.86), end‐stage renal disease (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.05–1.70), nephritis (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.07–1.54), and stroke (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.01–1.62) among patients with fragmented care, adjusted for age, sex, race, insurance status, length of followup time, and total visit count.ConclusionIn this cross‐site cohort of SLE patients, care fragmentation is associated with increased risk of severe infection and comorbidities. These results suggest that improved health information exchange could positively impact outcomes for SLE patients.
