Sexually progressive and proficient: Pornographic syntax and postfeminist fantasies
Authors: Gurevich Maria , Brown-Bowers Amy , Cosma Stephanie , Vasilovsky Alexander T , Leedham Usra , Cormier Nicole 
Published: January 2017

Mainstream and pornographic images and practice norms are becoming increasingly blurred (Paasonen et al., 2007), while sexual entrepreneurship discourses ( Gill, 2009 ) promote ongoing sexual self-transformation. Women’s sexuality, specifically, is expected to be proficient and perpetually practising. We examine what the mainstreaming of pornography means for sexual desire and agency among 27 young women negotiating heterosex. Participants’ accounts of sexuality and pornography are reflected in a (dis)ordering porn interpretive repertoire. Porn is positioned alternately as: ridiculous and recapitulated performance; a (contested) arousal tool; pedagogy and pictogram; and (resisted) re-enactment pressure. Pornography’s regulatory effects are both rejected and recapitulated. Whether they use porn as a template for sexual possibilities or decry its codes as undesirable, porn acts as an unavoidable cultural reference point for considering sexuality for these young women. A sexual syntax that draws on pornographic images and tropes for sexual desire, pleasure and agency is described.
‘The body that cannot be contained’: Queering mainstream psychology’s gay male body dissatisfaction imperative
Authors: Vasilovsky Alexander T , Gurevich Maria 
Published: January 2017

A sizable body of mainstream social psychological body image research suggests that gay men are more dissatisfied with their bodies than heterosexual men (Morrison et al., 2004). However, much of this research has been criticized for producing explanatory models that pathologize gay men by foregrounding homosexuality, irrespective of broader sociohistorical factors, as the source of gay male body dissatisfaction ( Filiault, 2010 ; Filiault and Drummond, 2009 ; Kane, 2009 , 2010 ) – what we refer to as psychology’s gay male body dissatisfaction imperative. Situated within a critical psychology perspective ( Teo, 2015 ), this article relies on the voices of 19 gay/queer participants to problematize psychology’s epistemological determinism. Their ‘talk’ was less interiorized and totalized than the models’ conceptualizations of gay male identity and body image, highlighting the need for models that instead explicate how gay men develop individual, embodied understandings of sexual and gender identity while navigating heterosexist, masculinist, and neoliberal discourses. We investigate the corporeal manifestations of discourse and pay specific attention to queer forms of embodied resistance.

Published: January 2017

New polyesters prepared by the intefacial polycondensation of 2,6-bis(4- hydroxybenzylidene ) cyclohexanone (I) and 2,6-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)- cyclohexanone (II) with 4,4'-diphenic, isophthalolyl, terephthaloyl, adipoyl and sebacoyl dichlorides have been produced. The yield and the values of reduced viscosity of the polyesters were found to be affected by the kind of organic phase, the quantitative ratio of organic to aqeuous phase, concentration of hydrogen chloride acceptor, rate of acid chloride addition, contribution of benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a catalyst and the temperature of the polycondensation reaction. In order to characterize these polymers the necessary model compounds were prepared from I or II and benzoyl chloride. The resulting polyesters were characterized by IR, elemental analyses, viscometry, DTA, DSC measurements and thermogravimetric analy sis. The crystallinity of all polyesters was examined by X-ray analysis. In addition the electrical properties of the polyesters were investigated. The morphology of two new high performance polyesters namely poly[ oxyisophthaloyloxy ( 2-methoxy-p-phenylene) methy lidyne( 2-oxo-1,3-cyclahexanediylidene) methylidyne ( 3-methyoxy-p-phenylene)] and poly[oxysebacoyloxy(2-methoxy-p-phenylene)methylidyne(2-oxo-1,3-cyclohexanediyli dene)methylidyne(3-methoxy-p-phenylene)] has been investigated by transmission elec tron microscopy.
Cues to Cervical Cancer Screening Among U.S. Hispanic Women
Authors: Moore de Peralta Arelis , Holaday Bonnie , Hadoto Ida Mikisa 
Published: January 2017

Introduction: Hispanic women’s cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high. Cues to cervical cancer screening (Cues to Action) are strategies to activate the decision-making process to get screened for cervical cancer. This study used the health belief model to examine which cues prompt Hispanic women to undergo cervical cancer screening and how perceptions could be potentiated by cues to cervical cancer screening. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Hispanic women 18 to 65 years old ( n = 220). Generalized linear modeling was used. Results: Spanish media and reminders by mother and doctors were relevant cues. Generalized linear modeling showed cues to action modified significantly the predictive effect of Perceived Threats (i.e., Susceptibility, Severity), benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy on Hispanic women’s cervical cancer screening behavior. “Mother told me” and Spanish media messages were significant covariates. Conclusion: Cues to Action influenced Hispanic’s women participation in cervical cancer screening. Cues to Action increased the strength of the health belief model as an explanatory model, and must be considered in designing culturally appropriate cervical cancer screening interventions.

Published: January 2017

Introduction: Four million infants are born in the United States to undocumented mothers. Nebraska granted Medicaid access to undocumented pregnant women from 1996 to 2010 and then discontinued access from 2010 to 2012. However, little is known about the maternal health of these undocumented women. The purpose of this study was to compare maternal health of undocumented women with and without access to Medicaid in Nebraska from 2007 to 2011. Method: A retrospective, longitudinal cohort design was conducted with 2007 to 2011 Nebraska birth certificate data. Study participants were 6,262 undocumented women. Groups of measures were created for demographics, prenatal, pregnancy, and delivery characteristics. Descriptive statistics were calculated and comparisons were conducted between women with and without access to Medicaid using chi-square and Student t tests. Results: More than 60% of undocumented women had access to Medicaid, while 32% had no access to Medicaid. Undocumented women were predominately Hispanic (73.32%) and did not have a high school education (68.77%). The comparison of undocumented women with and without Medicaid revealed that women with Medicaid access had more than adequate prenatal care (17.86% vs. 14.80%) and a higher frequency of infant born with abnormal conditions (6.26% vs. 8.03%). Women without access to Medicaid more often had inadequate prenatal care (10.28% vs. 6.94%) and were obese prior to pregnancy (19.37% vs. 17.37%). Conclusions: Undocumented women who are prenatally obese and lack access to prenatal care may be at increased risk for poor maternal outcomes.
Evidence-based management of adult trigger digits
Authors: Amirfeyz R. , McNinch R. , Watts A. , Rodrigues J. , Davis T. R. C. , Glassey N. , Bullock J. 
Published: January 2017

The aim of this systematic review was to develop an evidence-based guideline to assist clinicians in the treatment of adult trigger digits. There is moderate evidence to suggest that local corticosteroid injection is a safe and effective short-term treatment and it may, therefore, be recommended as an initial treatment for this condition. However, when compared with surgery, there is strong evidence that corticosteroid injection is associated with increased rates of ongoing or recurrent symptoms at 6 months after intervention. There is strong evidence suggesting that trigger digit can be managed safely by surgical release. There is weak evidence to support the use of splinting or other non-operative modalities. Hence a single corticosteroid injection may be offered as the first line in treatment of adult trigger digits, but percutaneous release is a safe alternative. Surgery should be the next line if the injection fails, symptoms recur or the patient chooses. Level of evidence: I
Optimizing quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Authors: van Manen Mirjam J. G. , Geelhoed J. J. Miranda. , Tak Nelleke C. , Wijsenbeek Marlies S. 
Published: January 2017

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating, progressive and ultimately fatal lung disease. The combination of poor prognosis, uncertainty of disease course and severe symptom burden heavily impacts patients’ and their families’ quality of life. Though new antifibrotic drugs have been shown to decrease disease progression, the effect on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has not been convincingly demonstrated. In a relentless disease such as IPF, striving to optimize HRQOL should complement the endeavour to prolong life. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of interventions improving symptoms and functionality for patients with IPF, and research focusing on symptom improvement, and assessing and optimizing HRQOL, is limited. This review summarizes the most recent insights into measuring and improving quality of life for patients with IPF, and discusses challenges in the management of this devastating disease. Moreover, we postulate a new model for continuous care in IPF – ‘the ABCDE of IPF care’: Assessing patients’ needs; Backing patients by giving information and support; delivering Comfort care by focusing on treating symptoms and taking into account Comorbidities; striving to prolong life by Disease modification; helping and preparing patients and their caregivers for the eventual End-of-life events that are likely to occur.
Sports-Related Emergency Preparedness in Oregon High Schools
Authors: Johnson Samuel T. , Norcross Marc F. , Bovbjerg Viktor E. , Hoffman Mark A. , Chang Eunwook , Koester Michael C. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Best practice recommendations for sports-related emergency preparation include implementation of venue-specific emergency action plans (EAPs), access to early defibrillation, and first responders—specifically coaches—trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator (AED) use. The objective was to determine whether high schools had implemented these 3 recommendations and whether schools with a certified athletic trainer (AT) were more likely to have done so. Hypothesis: Schools with an AT were more likely to have implemented the recommendations. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: All Oregon School Activities Association member school athletic directors were invited to complete a survey on sports-related emergency preparedness and AT availability at their school. Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used to analyze the associations between emergency preparedness and AT availability. Results: In total, 108 respondents (37% response rate) completed the survey. Exactly half reported having an AT available. Only 11% (95% CI, 6%-19%) of the schools had implemented all 3 recommendations, 29% (95% CI, 21%-39%) had implemented 2, 32% (95% CI, 24%-42%) had implemented 1, and 27% (95% CI, 19%-36%) had not implemented any of the recommendations. AT availability was associated with implementation of the recommendations (χ2 = 10.3, P = 0.02), and the proportion of schools with ATs increased with the number of recommendations implemented (χ2 = 9.3, P < 0.01). Schools with an AT were more likely to implement venue-specific EAPs (52% vs 24%, P < 0.01) and have an AED available for early defibrillation (69% vs 44%, P = 0.02) but not more likely to require coach training (33% vs 28%, P = 0.68). Conclusions: Despite best practice recommendations, most schools were inadequately prepared for sports-related emergencies. Schools with an AT were more likely to implement some, but not all, of the recommendations. Policy changes may be needed to improve implementation. Clinical Relevance: Most Oregon high schools need to do more to prepare for sports-related emergencies. The results provide evidence for sports medicine professionals and administrators to inform policy changes that ensure the safety of athletes.
Biologic Approaches for the Treatment of Partial Tears of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Authors: Dallo Ignacio , Chahla Jorge , Mitchell Justin J. , Pascual-Garrido Cecilia , Feagin John A. , LaPrade Robert F. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has been established as the gold standard for treatment of complete ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in active, symptomatic individuals. In contrast, treatment of partial tears of the ACL remains controversial. Biologically augmented ACL-repair techniques are expanding in an attempt to regenerate and improve healing and outcomes of both the native ACL and the reconstructed graft tissue. Purpose: To review the biologic treatment options for partial tears of the ACL. Study Design: Review. Methods: A literature review was performed that included searches of PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane databases using the following keywords: partial tear of the ACL, ACL repair, bone marrow concentrate, growth factors/healing enhancement, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy. Results: The use of novel biologic ACL repair techniques, including growth factors, PRP, stem cells, and bioscaffolds, have been reported to result in promising preclinical and short-term clinical outcomes. Conclusion: The potential benefits of these biological augmentation approaches for partial ACL tears are improved healing, better proprioception, and a faster return to sport and activities of daily living when compared with standard reconstruction procedures. However, long-term studies with larger cohorts of patients and with technique validation are necessary to assess the real effect of these approaches.
Do Muscle Strength Deficits of the Uninvolved Hip and Knee Exist in Young Athletes Before Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?
Authors: Hannon Joseph , Wang-Price Sharon , Goto Shiho , Garrison J. Craig , Bothwell James M. 
Published: January 2017

Background: Muscle strength of the involved limb is known to be decreased after injury. Comparison with the uninvolved limb has become standard of practice to measure progress and for calculation of limb symmetry indices (LSIs) to determine readiness to return to sport. However, some literature suggests strength changes in the uninvolved limb also are present after lower extremity injury. Purpose: To examine the uninvolved limb strength in a population of adolescent athletes after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and compare strength values with those of the dominant limb in a healthy control group. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A total of 64 athletes were enrolled in this study, including 31with injured ACLs (mean age, 15.6 ± 1.4 years) and 33 healthy controls (mean age, 14.9 ± 1.9 years). The median time from injury to testing was 23 days for the ACL-injured group. Participants underwent Biodex isokinetic strength testing at 60 deg/s to assess quadriceps and hamstring strength. Isometric hip strength (abduction, extension, external rotation) was measured using a handheld dynamometer. The muscle strength of the uninvolved limb of the ACL-injured group was compared with that of the dominant limb of the healthy control group. Results: The results showed a significant difference in quadriceps muscle strength between the 2 study groups ( P < .001). Isokinetic quadriceps strength of the uninvolved limb in the ACL group was significantly decreased by 25.5% ( P < .001) when compared with the dominant limb of the control group. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate a decreased isokinetic strength of the quadriceps muscle in the uninvolved limb after ACL injury as compared with healthy controls. Consideration should be taken when using the uninvolved limb for comparison when assessing quadriceps strength in a population with an ACL injury.
Accredited Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellowship Websites
Authors: Yayac Michael , Javandal Mitra , Mulcahey Mary K. 
Published: January 2017

Background: A substantial number of orthopaedic surgeons apply for sports medicine fellowships after residency completion. The Internet is one of the most important resources applicants use to obtain information about fellowship programs, with the program website serving as one of the most influential sources. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), San Francisco Match (SFM), and Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) maintain databases of orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs. A 2013 study evaluated the content and accessibility of the websites for accredited orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships. Purpose: To reassess these websites based on the same parameters and compare the results with those of the study published in 2013 to determine whether any improvement has been made in fellowship website content or accessibility. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: We reviewed all existing websites for the 95 accredited orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships included in the AOSSM, SFM, and AANA databases. Accessibility of the websites was determined by performing a Google search for each program. A total of 89 sports fellowship websites were evaluated for overall content. Websites for the remaining 6 programs could not be identified, so they were not included in content assessment. Results: Of the 95 accredited sports medicine fellowships, 49 (52%) provided links in the AOSSM database, 89 (94%) in the SFM database, and 24 (25%) in the AANA database. Of the 89 websites, 89 (100%) provided a description of the program, 62 (70%) provided selection process information, and 40 (45%) provided a link to the SFM website. Two searches through Google were able to identify links to 88% and 92% of all accredited programs. Conclusion: The majority of accredited orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs fail to utilize the Internet to its full potential as a resource to provide applicants with detailed information about the program, which could help residents in the selection and ranking process. Orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship websites that are easily accessible through the AOSSM, SFM, AANA, or Google and that provide all relevant information for applicants would simplify the process of deciding where to apply, interview, and ultimately how to rank orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs for the Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Fellowship Match.

Published: January 2017

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of different optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in European patients with high myopia. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in the Macula Unit of the University and Polytechnic Hospital La Fe (Valencia, Spain). A total of 134 myopic eyes of 69 patients (16 males and 53 females) were included. All patients underwent a spectral domain OCT examination at least once. The presence of tractional and atrophic myopic maculopathy and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was evaluated through OCT scans. Results: The prevalence of tractional myopic maculopathy was found in 53.7% of the eyes. Within this group, 9.7% had foveal retinoschisis, 23.9% extrafoveal retinoschisis, 31.3% internal limiting membrane rigidity, 24.6% epiretinal membrane, and none had vitreomacular traction. The most prevalent OCT finding was chorioretinal atrophy, present in 79.1% of the eyes. Choroidal neovascularization was present in 61.9% of the eyes. There was a trend toward higher prevalence of CNV in eyes with patchy atrophy with foveal involvement compared to those without foveal involvement (81.8% vs 65.5%; P = .103). Conclusion: The prevalence of CNV was quite high, especially in patients with patchy atrophy with foveal involvement.
Management of Large Submacular Hemorrhages Due to Exudative AMD Utilizing Pars Plana Vitrectomy, Subretinal Tissue Plasminogen Activator, and Gas Insertion Compared With Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Alone
Authors: Liu Enchun M. , Rajagopal Rithwick , Smith Bradley T. , Grand M. Gilbert 
Published: January 2017

Purpose: To assess the outcomes of patients with large submacular hemorrhage (SMH) due to age-related macular degeneration in this era of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Methods: Retrospective analysis of 149 eyes of 149 patients receiving pars plana vitrectomy, subretinal tissue plasminogen activator, and gas injection (“surgical group”; n = 80) or anti-VEGF alone (“anti-VEGF group”; n = 69). Changes in visual acuity (VA), number of anti-VEGF injections, and percentage of patients with ≥3 line VA gains are compared between groups. Results: Patients in the surgical group had larger SMH than those in the anti-VEGF group, 30.35 versus 14.57 mm2 ( P < .0001). Both groups experienced similar visual gains (−0.35 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution [logMAR] vs −0.23 in logMAR, surgical vs anti-VEGF group; P = .36). The percentage of patients gaining ≥3 lines of VA was 55% in the surgical group and 54% in the anti-VEGF group. The surgical group achieved best-recorded VA sooner (3.7 compared to 4.6 months; P = .04) and required fewer injections (3.4 injections vs 4.7 in the anti-VEGF group; P = .001). Conclusion: Surgical intervention was favored for larger hemorrhages of shorter duration. Despite extensive hemorrhage and poor baseline VA, both groups showed similar rate of significant VA improvement.
Sertraline: A New Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
Authors: Tolbert Sandra R. , Fuller Matthew A. 
Published: January 2017

Objective: Sertraline is a naphthylamine antidepressant. It is chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, or other available antidepressant agents. This article evaluates the published clinical trials of sertraline, a new serotonin reuptake inhibitor, for the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Data Sources: English-language journal articles published between 1978 and 1990. Study Selection: Five studies comparing sertraline with placebo or amitriptyline were evaluated. All were short-term, double-blind, outpatient studies. Two double-blind, placebo-controlled trials evaluated sertraline in the treatment of OCD. Data Extraction: Studies were assessed for sample size, study design, duration of therapy, dosage, adverse effects, and results. Data Synthesis: Three of the five studies comparing sertraline with amitriptyline support its efficacy as an antidepressant. The remaining two trials compared placebo with sertraline and had conflicting results. Two studies evaluated sertraline in OCD. One study, which had a small sample size, produced negative results; however, the other study, evaluating a larger sample size, found sertraline to be superior to placebo. The most common adverse effects with sertraline were dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea, male sexual dysfunction, tremor, dyspepsia, and insomnia. The dosage range for sertraline is 50–200 mg, given once daily. Conclusions: The results from the clinical trials reviewed suggest that sertraline is an effective antidepressant with efficacy rates similar to amitriptyline. Sertraline appears to be a promising new antidepressant; however, further clinical trials with other tricyclics and serotonin reuptake inhibitors are warranted.
