Published: February 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
An increasing number of children are born after assisted reproductive technology (ART), and monitoring their long-term health effects is of interest. This study compares cancer risk in children conceived by ART to that in children conceived without.

METHODS:
The Medical Birth Registry of Norway contains individual information on all children born in Norway (including information of ART conceptions). All children born between 1984 and 2011 constituted the study cohort, and cancer data were obtained from the Cancer Registry of Norway. Follow-up started at date of birth and ended on the date of the first cancer diagnosis, death, emigration, or December 31, 2011. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of overall cancer risk between children conceived by ART and those not. Cancer risk was also assessed separately for all childhood cancer types.

RESULTS:
The study cohort comprised 1 628 658 children, of which 25 782 were conceived by ART. Of the total 4554 cancers, 51 occurred in ART-conceived children. Risk of overall cancer was not significantly elevated (HR 1.21; 95% CI 0.90–1.63). However, increased risk of leukemia was observed for children conceived by ART compared with those who were not (HR 1.67; 95% CI 1.02–2.73). Elevated risk of Hodgkin's lymphoma was also found for ART-conceived children (HR 3.63; 95% CI 1.12–11.72), although this was based on small numbers.

CONCLUSIONS:
This population-based cohort study found elevated risks of leukemia and Hodgkin's lymphoma in children conceived by ART.
Turbulent history, troublesome heritage: Political change, social transformation, and the possibilities of revival in the “Old Jewish Quarter” of Budapest
Authors: Szívós Erika 
Published: February 2016

This article explores the history of Belső-Erzsébetváros, the Inner 7th District of Budapest, an urban area regarded as a historic Jewish quarter in today’s discourse. The historical summary focuses on societal transformations caused by political changes and historical tragedies during the 20th century. One explicit goal is to show in which ways the Inner 7th District of Budapest is unique among similar historic districts of other Central European cities: in Central European comparison, a large proportion of its population — just like the Jewish population of Budapest in general — survived the Holocaust. Therefore Jewish heritage has been experienced differently there than elsewhere in cities of the region.
After briefly introducing the historical evolution of the Inner 7th District before World War II, the article portrays local society, and explores the social relations that characterized this area until the last years of the World War II. Patterns of ethnic and confessional intermixing will be interpreted as defining characteristics of the district in the interwar period. Then the author will show the way wartime events and political measures disrupted the social fabric of the neighborhood, and transformed the local population dramatically by the spring of 1945. At the same time, patterns of survival will be also emphasized. After discussing the impact of World War II and the Holocaust, the article will highlight the post-1945 shifts in local society, exploring the impact of migration as well as the connection between societal transformation and the area’s physical decay in the Communist period. Finally, the author will briefly touch upon the past 25 years, discussing the possibilities of revival in the area, pointing out the role of Jewish heritage in the recent rediscovery of the neighborhood.
O desprezo, a cólera e o riso: o filme The Butcher Boy de Neil Jordan sob uma perspectiva aristotélica
Authors: Damião Carla Milani 
Published: February 2016

O artigo almeja relacionar a paixão da cólera ou raiva, segundo a conceituação de Aristóteles em Retórica das paixões, com o filme The Butcher Boy, dirigido por Neil Jordan, baseado no romance homônimo de Patrick McCabe. Seguindo a caracterização aristotélica da cólera despertada pelo desprezo, despeito e arrogância, consideramos que o que move o desejo de vingança da personagem do filme em questão é do primeiro tipo, sendo o último uma consequência intermediária no desenrolar da trama e assumido, em grande parte, pela ofensa sentida. Trata-se de uma relação não apenas descritiva e psicológica, ou mesmo, ilustrativa da paixão que acomete a personagem, mas de verificar em que medida a narrativa original adaptada para o filme, pode, efetivamente, ser considerada tributária das ideias aristotélicas.
In Bitches Diagnosed with Pyometra, is Medical Therapy Using Antibiosis Alone as Effective as Combining Ovariohysterectomy with Antibiosis in Reducing Morbidity and Mortality?
Authors: Swallow Adam 
Published: February 2016

Clinical bottom line
Ovariohysterectomy combined with antibiosis is more effective in achieving clinical cure than systemic antibiosis alone. Systemic antibiosis may be associated with recrudescence of the pyometra and the evidence base is weaker for this approach
Ethics And The Accountants' Code Of Conduct
Authors: Akers Michael D. , Giacomino Don E. 
Published: February 2016

Although the AICPA has established the Professional Code of Conduct to deal with the behavior of CPAs, research has also shown that an individual's behavior is affected by his or her personal values. While there has been considerable research of the ethical behavior of business professionals and business students, there has been limited research of the personal values of public accountants. This study was designed to examine the values and value types underlie the ethics of Big Six public accountants.A survey instrument, consisting of 56 values, developed and validated by Schwartz was administered to audit and tax professionals at each of the Big Six public accounting firms in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Value types were derived from the 56 values. The results of the study show there are differences in values and value types by gender, area of practice (audit, tax) professional level (staff, senior, manager, partner) and firm. Although the rankings of the values and value types differed within each category (i.e., gender, area of practice), there was considerable uniformity in the rankings of the most important and least important values, and value types. The most important values are Family Security, Healthy, Self-respect, Honest and True Friendship, while the least important values are Accept My Portion in Life, Daring, Unit With Nature, Detachment and Social Power. Benevolence and Achievement are the most important value types, while Tradition and Power are the least important.
Factors Affecting Childrens Store Loyalty: An Empirical Examination Of Two Store Types
Authors: Williams Laura A. , Burns Alvin C. 
Published: February 2016

This research is an empirical examination of the factors that affect children’s store loyalty. Specifically, the effects of impersonal communication, interpersonal communication, experience, and perceptions of affective and functional qualities of store image are examined as to how they impact children’s store loyalty. Results suggest that prior experience and impersonal communications are important in the formation of a child’s perception of a store’s image. In turn, the child’s perception of the affective and functional qualities of a store’s image are fundamental to a child’s store loyalty. These findings were supported for both a mass-merchandise discount store and a specialty store. Managerial implications for retailers interested in building store loyalty with children are discussed.
Cash Flow Lending What A Difference A Year Makes! (Banking Lessons For 2001 And Beyond)
Authors: Pillsbury Ceil , Pillsbury Roger 
Published: February 2016

This paper examines the cash flow lending practices that became prevalent in the marketplace during the late 1990s and early 2000. That time frame witnessed bankers significantly deviating from historical lending models which resulted in a marked increase in risk. The detrimental effects of those practices and the repercussions experienced by banks are examined in detail. The paper concludes with suggested modifications to cash flow lending practices and lessons for cash flow lenders.
Mergers And Acquisitions In The Shipping Industry

Published: February 2016

<p>The purpose of our research is to analyze Acquired and Acquiring companies in the Maritime Transport sector in order to determine whether the two groups can be distinguished from each other based on their different financial characteristics. Although this area of research is considered as very fruitful by many academics, it was given less attention due to the rare sequence of such events and the difficulty to gain access to valuable data. The authors are not aware of any other papers that have examined the maritime transport sector in such a way in the past.</p><p>However, since many shipping companies have taken the opportunity to access stock markets around the world, in order to gain equity finance to upgrade or expand their merchant fleets, their financial statements became public. Moreover, the fact that over the last decades Mergers and Acquisitions are considered by many managers as very efficient method of company expansion, the view of the past that considered Mergers &amp; Acquisitions in the maritime sector as a difficult area of research is starting to change.</p><p> The study will be based upon a sample of 60 companies, consisting of 37 targets (either through merger or acquisition), occurring during the calendar years from 1994 to 2009 and 23 acquirers (some of them multiple acquirers). In the analysis, ratios measuring different aspects of business activity will be investigated; such as profitability, liquidity, efficiency and leverage, with the utilization of multiple Logit Regression Analysis.</p>

Authors: Abulseoud Osama A , Costales Jesse , Peterson Melanie , Miller Joseph D , Lagomasino Isabel T 
Published: February 2016

El uso de antipsicóticos atípicos como terapia adjunta a antidepresivos en el tratamiento del trastorno depresivo mayor (TDM) no psicótico fue práctica común por un largo periodo antes de que los ensayos clínicos a doble-ciego, controlados (con placebo) y al azar, llevados a cabo a gran escala, demostraran su eficacia. El presente estudio se propuso evaluar la frecuencia con la cual pacientes diagnosticados con TDM recibieron tratamiento con agentes antipsicóticos (AP) y examinar los efectos de edad, raza y etnicidad sobre el tipo y dosis de los anti-psicóticos prescritos a una cohorte de pacientes antes de la reciente aprobación de aripiprazole por la Administración de Alimentos y Drogas (FDA), como medicación adjunta para el manejo de esta entidad clínica. Se analizaron las historias clínicas de 1537 pacientes portadores del diagnóstico de depresión unipolar. 1376 presentaron depresión no psicótica y de ellos, 466 (33,9%) recibieron antipsicóticos con predominio de pacientes varones (hombres vs. mujeres: 41,7% vs. 27,8%. z=2,4, p<0,02; odds ratio (OR)=1,97, con error estándar (SE) de 0,57) de origen Hispánico (X2 = 35,8, df = 1, p < 0,0001). Quetiapina fue el antipsicótico más comúnmente prescrito (n=209, 44,8%) con una dosis promedio (±SEM) de 195,1±13,1 mg. Nuestros resultados confirman reportes previos del uso de antipsicóticos (específicamente quetiapina) en la práctica clínica habitual, como tratamiento adjunto en pacientes no psicóticos con diagnóstico de depresión unipolar. Se requiere investigación adicional que indague los efectos a largo plazo de este tipo de medicación en pacientes sin un diagnóstico de trastorno psicótico primario.

Published: February 2016

Se reporta el caso de un paciente varón de 63 años; natural y procedente de Juliaca, que ingresó por un cuadro de episodios paroxismales de afasia transitoria, de 2 minutos de duración asociado a cefalea, sin trastorno deconciencia. No antecedentes de epilepsia, ni otros antecedentes patológicos. Al examen físico se evidenció episodios de parafasias semánticas y literales transitorias, de 1-2 minutos de duración. Los hallazgos de la tomografía cerebral y de la resonancia de encéfalo mostraron imágenes quísticas confluentes en valle silviano izquierdo de aspecto racemoso además de quistes vesiculares intraparenquimales peri-silvianos; los cuales resultaron definitivos para el diagnóstico. El presente caso de neurocisticercosis Mixta se manifestó como crisis epilépticas focales caracterizadas por afasia paroxismal, destacándose la presentación atípica. Se hace una breve revisión de la literatura.

Published: February 2016

La distonía aguda por antipsicóticos es un efecto extrapiramidal frecuente con el uso de estos medicamentos y, aunque su prevalencia es menor con el uso de antipsicóticos atípicos, no dejan de suscitarse casos de dichasreacciones adversas. Entre ellas, la distonía laríngea es un problema que requiere tratamiento de urgencia y que incluso acarrea riesgo mortal. Reportamos el caso de una paciente joven de sexo femenino y con diagnóstico de esquizofrenia paranoide, quien se presentó a nuestro servicio de emergencia en agitación psicomotriz y presentó distonía laríngea inducida por uso de haloperidol, en primer lugar, y luego por ziprasidona, ambos administrados por vía intramuscular. Finalmente revisamos la bibliografía respectiva y recomendamos que, en caso de distonía laríngea, se evite el posterior uso de antipsicóticos parenterales por el importante riesgo de recurrencia. Con anterioridad al presente reporte había solamente cuatro casos publicados en la literatura científica sobre distonía laríngea aguda inducida por ziprasidona.

Objetivos:Describir la frecuencia de ansiedad, onicofagia y síndrome de piernas inquietas (SPI) en estudiantes de medicina y explorar la relación entre los mismos. Materiales y métodos: Participaron 315 estudiantes del primer al quinto año de medicina de una universidad privada de Lima. Se administraron la Escala de Ansiedad de Beck (BAI), una escala Likert para onicofagia, el Inventario de Estudios Epidemiológicos de SPI (García - Borreguero) y el Inventario de SPI (Grupo Internacional de SPI). Resultados: Se halló la frecuencia de ansiedad (61,3%), onicofagia (52,63%) y SPI (9,29%). Ser hombre es un factor protector para ansiedad (razón de prevalencia (RP) = 0,74; p = 0,001; IC 95% = 0,63 – 0,89). Existe asociación entre sintomatología ansiosa y SPI (RP =2,52; p = 0,036; IC 95%= 1,06 – 6); y entre sintomatología ansiosa y onicofagia (RP = 1,47; p = 0,002; IC 95% = 1,15 – 1,87). La presencia de onicofagia y SPI tenía asociación con sintomatología ansiosa (RP = 5,37; p = 0,023; IC 95% = 1,26 – 22,82). No se encontró asociación significativa entre SPI y onicofagia. Conclusiones: Existe una asociación entre ansiedad y SPI; y entre ansiedad y onicofagia; pero no entre SPI y onicofagia.

Published: February 2016

La Homocistinuria, es un desorden metabólico autosómico recesivo, cuya forma clásica es causada por deficiencia de cistationina β-sintasa, debido a mutaciones en el gen CBS (Cr 21q22.3). Se describe el caso de un varón de 17 años con hipopigmentación de piel y faneras, retraso psicomotor moderado, hábito marfanoide, miopía severa, subluxación del cristalino bilateral, que además presentó eventos psicóticos y una hemiparesia izquierda secundaria a un infarto lacunar. La determinación de homocisteína en plasma se encontró elevada (>9,9mg/dl), así como niveles altos de nitroprusiato de sodio en orina(4+) que confirmaron el diagnóstico clínico de homocistinuria. La homocistinuria clásica genera múltiples complicaciones a nivel dérmico, oftalmológico, cognitivo, osteoarticular y psiquiátrico; que podrían evitarse con un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno a través del tamizaje neonatal, aún no disponible en la mayoría de centros asistenciales en el Perú.
Relation between Early Season–Measured Agronomic Variables and Sugar Yield Responses to Nitrogen
Authors: Kanke Yumiko , Tubaña Brenda , Dalen Marilyn , Lofton Joshua , Viator Howard 
Published: February 2016

Several studies have demonstrated the use of early‐season plant response to N as a basis for determining N fertilizer requirements in cereal crops. In sugarcane (Saccharumspp. hybrids) production, the relationship of early‐season growth and responses to N fertilization to sugar yield at harvest has not been pursued. The objective of this study was to evaluate and relate the early‐season response to N fertilization (RI) of select agronomic variables to RI of measured sugar yield at harvest of three sugarcane varieties (HoCP 96‐540, L 01‐283, and L 99‐226). A variety × N (0, 45, 90, and 135 kg N ha−1) trial was established at two LSU AgCenter research stations: the Sugar Research Station in St. Gabriel and the Iberia Research Station, Jeanerette, LA, from 2010 to 2012. The positive correlations between RIs of agronomic variables collected at 4 and 5 wk after nitrogen application (WKN) and RIs at harvest were considered notable with RIbiomassat 5 WKN obtaining the highestrvalue (RIsugar= 0.69 and RIcane= 0.68). Sugar and stalk yield increases due to N were also correlated to RIN%and RINuptakeat 4 to 6 WKN. The findings of the present study demonstrated that RIs of agronomic variables measured early in the season were related with RI at harvest, suggesting the potential use of response to N early in the season as a basis for in‐season determination of sugarcane N rate requirements.Core IdeasDetermining seasonal N requirement in sugarcane is essential.High spatial and temporal variability in sugar and stalk yield to applied N were observed.Agronomic variable at early season can be used to predict N response of sugar yield.
