The ‘Pull’ Technique for Removal of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters: A Call for Re-Evaluation of Practice Standards
Authors: Grieff Marvin , Mamo Elizabeth , Scroggins Gina , Kurchin Alexander 
Published: March 2017

Background The most commonly used peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters have silicon tubing with attached Dacron cuffs. The current standard of care for PD catheter removal is by complete surgical dissection, withdrawing both the tubing and the cuffs. The intention is to avoid infection of any residual part of the catheter. We retrospectively analyzed our results with the alternative ‘pull’ technique, by which the silicon tube is pulled out, leaving the Dacron cuffs within the abdominal wall. This technique never gained popularity due to concern that the retained cuffs would get infected. Methods We reviewed our experience from an 18-month period, between January 2014 and June 2015. There were 46 catheter removals in 40 patients. All the catheters were of the double-cuffed coiled Tenckhoff type (Covidien, Dublin, Ireland). Results Of the 46 catheter removals by the ‘pull’ technique, there was only 1 case of retained cuff infection. Conclusions The ‘pull’ technique is a safe method for Tenckhoff catheter removal with low risk of infection. We strongly recommend it as the procedure of choice.

Abstract
We present rest-frame optical spectra from the FMOS-COSMOS survey of 12 z ∼ 1.6 Herschel starburst galaxies, with star formation rate (SFR) elevated by ×8, on average, above the star-forming main sequence (MS). Comparing the Hα to IR luminosity ratio and the Balmer decrement, we find that the optically thin regions of the sources contain on average only ∼10% of the total SFR, whereas ∼90% come from an extremely obscured component that is revealed only by far-IR observations and is optically thick even in Hα. We measure the [N ii]6583/Hα ratio, suggesting that the less obscured regions have a metal content similar to that of the MS population at the same stellar masses and redshifts. However, our objects appear to be metal-rich outliers from the metallicity–SFR anticorrelation observed at fixed stellar mass for the MS population. The [S ii]6732/[S ii]6717 ratio from the average spectrum indicates an electron density n
e ∼ 1100 cm−3 , larger than what was estimated for MS galaxies but only at the 1.5σ level. Our results provide supporting evidence that high-z MS outliers are analogous of local ULIRGs and are consistent with a major-merger origin for the starburst event.
L’entraînement technique et tactique des équipes professionnelles françaises de football entre 1942 et 1990
Authors: Grün Laurent 
Published: March 2017

Depuis 1942, l’entraînement tactique et technique mené par les entraîneurs des clubs professionnels français de football passe d’une phase de tâtonnement expérimental à une réflexion plus aboutie menée par la Direction Technique Nationale (DTN). La référence aux grandes équipes, souvent les sélections nationales étrangères, est quasi permanente. Mais jusqu’aux années 1980, il s’agit moins de recopier les techniques d’entraînement que de s’inspirer des façons de jouer de ces sélections étrangères, même au niveau des clubs, sans d’ailleurs nécessairement posséder les joueurs adéquats pour cela. Malgré quelques innovateurs comme Paul Frantz (RC Strasbourg) et surtout José Arribas (FC Nantes) dans les années 1960, les procédés d’entraînement demeurent analytiques et les versants techniques et tactiques restent longtemps abordés séparément. Les résultats internationaux du football français, tant au niveau des clubs que de l’équipe nationale, s’en ressentent et inquiètent les différents acteurs. Ce n’est qu’à partir des années 1980 que les aspects techniques et tactiques de l’entraînement des footballeurs cessent d’être dissociés pour se conjuguer systématiquement même si certaines influences avaient émergé depuis les années 1970 avec Stefan Kovacs, coach de l’équipe de France entre 1975 et 1973, ou avec Robert Herbin coach de l’AS Saint-Étienne. La référence aux entraîneurs d’Allemagne fédérale va conduire la DTN à former des entraîneurs français capables de concevoir des entraînements intégrés, mêlant à la fois les versants techniques, tactiques, physiques, mais également psychologiques. La fonction et le rôle même de l’entraîneur s’en trouvent modifiés : de simple applicateur directeur de jeu, il devient stratège et concepteur.
La lutte pour la légitimité : la controverse sur la défense de zone chez les entraîneurs de football espagnols dans les années 1990
Authors: García-Martí Carlos 
Published: March 2017

Cet article vise à améliorer les connaissances sur la façon dont les questions et les méthodes de formation tactique évoluent au fil du temps et comment les cultures nationales d’entraînement changent en raison des influences étrangères et des facteurs sociaux. En particulier, nous nous concentrerons sur la façon dont les idées d’Arrigo Sacchi sur la défense de zone ainsi que celles sur l’entraînement, importées par les entraîneurs néerlandais, ont modifié les pratiques et la culture professionnelle des entraîneurs espagnols à la fin des années 1980 et au début des années 1990. Dans ce but, vingt-trois entretiens semi-structurés ont été réalisés (anciens entraîneurs, anciens footballeurs espagnols, préparateur physique) tous travaillant en première ou en deuxième division du football professionnel de l’époque. La synthèse de ces entretiens montre une certaine résistance de la part des entraîneurs espagnols établis à ces nouvelles formes d’entraînement plus théoriques et abstraites. Toutefois, c’est seulement à partir du moment où une nouvelle génération d’entraîneurs, bénéficiant du soutien des médias, se verra reconnaître une légitimité effective en matière de connaissances footballistiques que ces nouvelles modalités d’entraînement seront adoptées. Ainsi, les idées tactiques déterminent non seulement la manière dont les équipes jouent sur le terrain de football, mais aussi leurs relations sociales et leurs profils professionnels. Il reste alors à explorer comment elles sont influencées par un contexte social plus large et comment cette « révolution » de la défense de zone est liée au processus de marchandisation du football.
La montée de la « lourde machine du sport rouge » et l’avènement de la programmation journalière de l’entraînement moderne
Authors: Bourne Nick , Vivier Christian 
Published: March 2017

Cette intervention rend compte de la montée de la « lourde machine du sport rouge soviétique » qui associe la science et, plus particulièrement, la programmation journalière moderne. La programmation peut être définie comme la manipulation cyclique d’entraînement et de charge de travail en compétition de manière systématique afin de maintenir un équilibre relatif entre le stress et la récupération dans le but d’obtenir des gains optimaux lors de performances sportives humaines (non bioniques). Les origines de la programmation peuvent remonter aux Grecs où les plus anciennes histoires d’athlètes ont été enregistrées. Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et la période de la domination idéologique, l’Union soviétique a utilisé le sport comme un moyen pour tenter de démontrer la supériorité du système communiste. Prêt à tout pour avoir les meilleurs résultats sportifs, ils ont appliqué le « bord coupant » en sciences du sport et permis l’avènement de la programmation journalière moderne. Le professeur Lev Pavlovich Matveyev de l’Institut central de la culture physique à Moscou, le soi-disant « père » de la périodisation fut un instrument dans la genèse de la théorie de l’entraînement. Après avoir fait connaître ses recherches en 1962, Matveyev publie les Fondamentaux de l’entraînement sportif en 1965, livre qui a été traduit en plus de 40 langues. Pour formuler son idée, l’auteur a analysé les performances athlétiques et le profil d’entraînement de plusieurs milliers d’athlètes de haut niveau dans des sports qui peuvent être facilement quantifiés comme l’athlétisme, la natation et l’haltérophilie. En réunissant ces données, il en a déduit la théorie de la périodisation qui a guidé les processus d’entraînement afin d’accéder au pic de performance au bon moment. La programmation continuerait tellement à révolutionner l’entraînement et la performance sportive qu’au tournant du XXI e siècle, elle serait au fondement de la plupart des théories et des pratiques de coaching de tous les entraînements des sportifs sérieux. En utilisant des recherches de première main, incluant une interview du professeur Matveyev lui-même, cet article rend compte de la genèse, de l’évolution et de l’impact de la périodisation.
The Importance of e-Learning as a Teaching and Learning Approach in Emerging Markets

Published: March 2017

<p><strong>Technological advances in information and communication technologies have led to the emergence of e-learning systems that can be used effectively as a teaching and learning approach. </strong><strong>For emerging markets, e-learning is of special relevance, as it can provide access to education at a relatively low cost compared with traditional settings as there is no associated travel or housing costs. Additionally, internet access in emerging markets has increased steadily in the recent years.</strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong>This paper discusses the importance of e-learning as a teaching and learning approach and its relevance in emerging markets. The paper presents some findings from four sections of a Faculty Certificate of Online Training (FCOT) program conducted by GlobalNxt University. The learners consist of faculty from India (n=20), South Africa (n=19) and Malaysia (n=9), which are representative of countries in the emerging markets. The paper examines the implications of the findings, and concludes with possible directions for the future of e-learning as a teaching and learning approach in emerging markets.</strong></p>
Vigilin Regulates the Expression of the Stress-Induced Ligand MICB by Interacting with Its 5′ Untranslated Region

Abstract
NK cells are part of the innate immune system, and are able to identify and kill hazardous cells. The discrimination between normal and hazardous cells is possible due to an array of inhibitory and activating receptors. NKG2D is one of the prominent activating receptors expressed by all human NK cells. This receptor binds stress-induced ligands, including human MICA, MICB, and UL16-binding proteins 1-6. The interaction between NKG2D and its ligands facilitates the elimination of cells under cellular stress, such as tumor transformation. However, the mechanisms regulating the expression of these ligands are still not well understood. Under normal conditions, the NKG2D ligands were shown to be posttranscriptionally regulated by cellular microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Thus far, only the 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of MICA, MICB, and UL16-binding protein 2 were shown to be regulated by RBPs and microRNAs, usually resulting in their downregulation. In this study we investigated whether MICB expression is controlled by RBPs through its 5′UTR. We used an RNA pull-down assay followed by mass spectrometry and identified vigilin, a ubiquitously expressed multifunctional RNA-binding protein. We demonstrated that vigilin binds and negatively regulates MICB expression through its 5′UTR. Additionally, vigilin downregulation in target cells led to a significant increase in NK cell activation against said target cells. Taken together, we have discovered a novel mode of MICB regulation.

Abstract
Th17 cells play a critical role in autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Response gene to complement (RGC)-32 is a cell cycle regulator and a downstream target of TGF-β that mediates its profibrotic activity. In this study, we report that RGC-32 is preferentially upregulated during Th17 cell differentiation. RGC-32−/− mice have normal Th1, Th2, and regulatory T cell differentiation but show defective Th17 differentiation in vitro. The impaired Th17 differentiation is associated with defects in IFN regulatory factor 4, B cell–activating transcription factor, retinoic acid–related orphan receptor γt, and SMAD2 activation. In vivo, RGC-32−/− mice display an attenuated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis phenotype accompanied by decreased CNS inflammation and reduced frequency of IL-17– and GM-CSF–producing CD4+ T cells. Collectively, our results identify RGC-32 as a novel regulator of Th17 cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo and suggest that RGC-32 is a potential therapeutic target in multiple sclerosis and other Th17-mediated autoimmune diseases.
Parry-Romberg Syndrome: A Case Study of Two Patients
Authors: Saxena Shikhar 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder, i.e., characterized by a slow and progressive atrophy of facial tissues, including muscles, bones, and skin of one or occasionally both sides of the face. Atrophy may be preceded by cutaneous discoloration of the affected skin, such as hyperpigmentation or depigmentation.

Observation
A 30-year-old female patient came with a chief complaint of progressive deformity of left-side face since 7 to 8 years. Progressive atrophy on left half face was noticed first at the age of 23 years as an area of hyperpigmentation on left malar region, which progressed with atrophy of the underlying fat and subcutaneous tissue resulting in disfigurement. Head and neck examination confirmed the asymmetry with flattening and hyperpigmentation on left side of face. There was an evident loss of underlying fat, muscle, and subcutaneous tissue giving a sunken appearance. Computed tomography scan revealed generalized atrophy of the soft tissue of the left hemi face resulting in asymmetry on the left side with deviated nasal septum. Another female patient of 35 years old came to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with marked facial asymmetry on right side.

Conclusion
Two cases of PRS from different families are discussed. A 30-year-old female who presented with chief complaints of left side hemifacial atrophy and blackish pigmentation of overlying skin whose clinical features were consistent with PRS and a 35-year-old female with right-sided facial hemifacial atrophy.

A Tribe Called Quest's People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Authors: Taylor Shawn 
Published: March 2017

One of the finest hip-hop albums ever made, A Tribe Called Quest’s debut record (featuring stone-cold classics like “Can I Kick It?” and “Bonita Applebum”) took the idea of the boasting hip-hop male and turned it on its head. For many listeners, when this non-traditional, surprisingly feminine album was released, it was like hearing an entirely new form of music.
In this book, Shawn Taylor explores the creation of the album as well as the impact it had on him at the time - a 17-year-old high-school geek who was equally into hip-hop, punk, new wave, skateboarding, and Dungeons & Dragons: all of a sudden, with this one album, the world made more sense. He has spent many years investigating this album, from the packaging to the song placement to each and every sample - Shawn Taylor knows this record like he knows his tattoos, and he’s finally been able to write a fascinating and highly entertaining book about it.
AC/DC’s Highway to Hell
Authors: Bonomo Joe 
Published: March 2017

Released in 1979, AC/DC’s Highway To Hell was the infamous last album recorded with singer Bon Scott, who died of alcohol poisoning in London in February of 1980. Officially chalked up to “Death by Misadventure,” Scott’s demise has forever secured the album’s reputation as a partying primer and a bible for lethal behavior, branding the album with the fun chaos of alcoholic excess and its flip side, early death. The best songs on Highway To Hell achieve Sonic Platonism, translating rock & roll’s transcendent ideals in stomping, dual-guitar and eighth-note bass riffing, a Paleolithic drum bed, and insanely, recklessly odd but fun vocals.
Joe Bonomo strikes a three-chord essay on the power of adolescence, the durability of rock & roll fandom, and the transformative properties of memory. Why does Highway To Hell matter to anyone beyond non-ironic teenagers? Blending interviews, analysis, and memoir with a fan’s perspective, Highway To Hell dramatizes and celebrates a timeless album that one critic said makes “disaster sound like the best fun in the world.”
Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II
Authors: Weidenbaum Marc 
Published: March 2017

Extravagantly opaque, willfully vaporous - Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II, released by the estimable British label Warp Records in 1994, rejuvenated ambient music for the Internet Age that was just dawning. In the United States, it was Richard D. James’s first full length on Sire Records (home to Madonna and Depeche Mode) under the moniker Aphex Twin; Sire helped usher him in as a major force in music, electronic or otherwise.
Faithful to Brian Eno’s definition of ambient music, Selected Ambient Works Volume II was intentionally functional: it furnished chill out rooms, the sanctuaries amid intense raves. Choreographers and film directors began to employ it to their own ends, and in the intervening decades this background music came to the fore, adapted by classical composers who reverse-engineered its fragile textures for performance on acoustic instruments. Simultaneously, “ambient” has moved from esoteric sound art to central tenet of online culture. This book contends that despite a reputation for being beatless, the album exudes percussive curiosity, providing a sonic metaphor for our technologically mediated era of countless synchronized nanosecond metronomes.
Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica
Authors: Courrier Kevin 
Published: March 2017

In the spring of 1969, the inauspicious release of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band’s Trout Mask Replica, a double-album featuring 28 stream-of-consciousness songs filled with abstract rhythms and guttural bellows, dramatically altered the pop landscape.
Yet even if the album did cast its radical vision over the future of music, much of the record’s artistic strength is actually drawn from the past. This book examines how Beefheart’s incomparable opus, an album that divided (rather than) united a pop audience, is informed by a variety of diverse sources. Trout Mask Replica is a hybrid of poetic declarations inspired by both Walt Whitman and the beat poets, the field hollers of the Delta Blues, the urban blues of Howlin’ Wolf, the gospel blues of Blind Willie Johnson, and the free jazz of Ornette Coleman. This book illustrates how Trout Mask Replica was not so much an arcane specimen of the avant-garde, but rather a defiantly original declaration of the American imagination.
DJ Shadow's Endtroducing…
Authors: Wilder Eliot 
Published: March 2017

What resonated about Endtroducing when it was released in 1996, and what makes it still resonate today, is the way in which it loosens itself from the mooring of the known and sails off into an uncharted territory that seems to exist both in and out of time. Josh Davis is not only a master sampler and turntablist supreme, he is also a serious archeologist with a world-thirsty passion (what Cut Chemist refers to as Josh’s “spidey sense”) for seeking out, uncovering and then ripping apart the discarded graces of some other generation - that “pile of broken dreams” - and weaving them back together into a tapestry of chronic bleakness and beauty.
Over the course of several long conversations with Josh Davis (DJ Shadow), we learn about his early years in California, the friends and mentors who helped him along the way, his relationship with Mo’Wax and James Lavelle, and the genesis and creation of his widely acknowledged masterpiece, Endtroducing.
Guided By Voices' Bee Thousand
Authors: Woodworth Marc 
Published: March 2017

Marc Woodworth’s book covers the album’s long and unorthodox period of writing, recording, sequencing, and editing. It includes interviews with members of the band, manager Pete Jamison, web-master and GBV historian Rich Turiel and Robert Griffin of Scat Records. At least sixty-five songs were recorded and considered for the album and five distinct concepts were rejected before the band hit upon the records final form. One late version, very nearly released, contained only a few of Bee Thousand’s definitive songs.
The rest were left out and nearly ended up in the boxes of cassette out-takes cluttering up Robert Pollard’s basement. The story of Guided By Voices transformation from an occasional and revolving group of complete unknowns to indie-rock heroes is very much part of the story behind the making of Bee Thousand.
In addition to providing a central account of how the record was made, Woodworth devotes a substantial chapter to the album’s lyrics. Robert Pollard’s lyrics are described by critics, when they’re described at all, as a brand of tossed-off surrealism, as if his verbal sensibility is somehow incidental to the songs themselves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Woodworth offers a sustained discussion of Pollard’s work as a writer of often sublime, beautiful, and very human lyrics.
The third key section of the book covers aesthetics. Woodworth considers the great appeal of the do-it-yourself nature of Bee Thousand and reflects on the larger importance of the strain of alternative rock for which this record is a touchstone.
