Premier bilan jurisprudentiel de l'autorisation délivrée sur le fondement de l'article 10 de la loi sur l'eau
Authors: Gazzaniga Jean-Louis , Larrouy-Castéra Xavier 
Published: December 2015

Water is not a resource like any other and its use can no longer be left
uncontrolled or virtually inviolate, as was laid down by some legal judgements during the last century. Nowadays, it is considered necessary to protect not only water resources as such but also the aquatic ecosystem which is heavily dependent on water quantity and quality, in order to protect natural equilibria. Stricter control of uses, works and activities, through the extension of regulatory measures applicable to surface or ground water, should contribute to this objective. Indeed, they form an essential component of measures designed to secure the rational water resource management endorsed by the legislature in 1992.
In practice, however, the application ofprior authorisation procedures can prove somewhat tricky. Aside from divergences of opinion that have been expressed here and there about interpretation of the list laid down by Decree n° 93-743 of 29 March 1993, most criticism has chiefly focused on the place given to such authorisations in the decision-making process. Unfortunately, when it cornes to complex operations linked to major planning projects, the water resources inquiry is definitely relegated to second place once the project has been held to be in the public interest. This undoubtedly weakens the effectiveness of this procedure and can sometimes strip it of any purpose whatsoever.
La loi dite Verdeille à l'épreuve de la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme : coup de semonce au coup de grâce ? Commentaire de l'arrêt de la CEDH Chassagnou et autres c/ France du 29 avril 1999
Authors: Marguénaud Jean-Pierre 
Published: December 2015

L'arrêt Chassagnou constate que la mise en œuvre de la loi du 10 juillet 1964 entraîne des violations du droit au respect des biens, du droit d'association négatif et du principe de non-discrimination affirmés par la CEDH et la jurisprudence européenne. L'arrêt est globalement favorable aux opposants à la chasse dont il prend indirectement mais systématiquement en compte la force des convictions éthiques ; les chasseurs y puiseront cependant un motif de réconfort puisqu'il affirme expressément que la loi dite Verdeille poursuit assurément un but d'intérêt général en cherchant à éviter une pratique anarchique de la chasse et à favoriser une gestion rationnelle du patrimoine cynégétique.
Théoriquement, l'arrêt Chassagnou fourmille d'innovations remarquables dont on peut attendre des répercussions heureuses ou malheureuses dans beaucoup d'autres domaines que le droit de la chasse.
Pratiquement il devrait, comme l'a courageusement reconnu le juge français dissident J.-P. Costa, « obliger le Gouvernement et le Parlement à remettre sur le métier l'ouvrage tissé en 1964 ». Une ambiguïté sur le point de savoir si la Cour de Strasbourg a dénoncé la discrimination qui frappe tous les petits propriétaires terriens ou seulement celle qui s'abat sur ceux d'entre eux qui sont aussi opposants à la chasse laisse cependant en suspens la question suivante : l'indispensable réforme pourra-t-elle s'en tenir à une modification de la loi Verdeille ou devra-t-elle aller jusqu'à l'abrogation ?

Authors: Mousset Mathilde , Flaven Elodie , Justy Fabienne , Pouzadoux Juliette , Gode Cécile , Pauwels Maxime , Gonneau Cédric 
Published: December 2015

Premise of the study:Multiplexed microsatellite markers were developed for population genetic studies in the pseudometallophyte Noccaea caerulescens (Brassicaceae), a model species to investigate metal tolerance and hyperaccumulation in higher plants.Methods and Results:Microsatellite loci were isolated through pyrosequencing of an enriched DNA library. Three multiplexes combining four previously published and 17 newly designed markers were developed. The new markers were screened in metallicolous and nonmetallicolous populations from southern France. The total number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 18. The observed heterozygosity per locus and per population ranged from 0 to 0.83, and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0 to 0.89.Conclusions:The investigated loci showed reasonable to high levels of polymorphism at the regional scale. The multiplex set should be helpful in investigating genetic diversity, population structure, and demographic history in N. caerulescens at various spatial scales.
Advancing Associate Degree in Nursing-to-Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing Academic Progression: The California Collaborative Model for Nursing Education
Authors: Close Liz , Orlowski Carolyn 
Published: December 2015

Background:
In 2004, nurse leaders in California recognized the imminent need to increase the number and educational preparation of the state's nursing workforce. The California Collaborative Model for Nursing Education (CCMNE), a key strategy to meet this goal, was introduced in 2008.

Method:
The CCMNE set a new statewide standard for associate degree in nursing (ADN)-to-baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) progression by defining seamless academic progression parameters. The CCMNE's five core components are dual enrollment, integrated curriculum, shared faculty, BSN within 1 year of ADN conferral, and permanence and sustainability. Flexibility in operationalizing the core components accelerated the development of effective approaches systematically shared across the state to support CCMNE development and implementation.

Results:
Nearly 7% of the current California ADN student population is dually enrolled in a BSN program through 19 university-based CCMNE partnerships with 59 community colleges.

Conclusion:

The CCMNE provides ADN students early access to BSN education, which is promising for increasing the percentage of baccalaureate-educated nurses in the workforce. [

rganizations (SKAGEO) was adapted and administered online to a stratified sample of administrators and faculty in American Association of Colleges of Nursing–member schools.

Results:
Participants' scores were within high ranges in both empowerment capacity and capability; however, administrator group scores were higher. Data analyses indicated that administrator leadership competencies were associated with group empowerment.

Conclusion:

This study suggests that empowered faculty and administrator groups anticipate changing health care trends and effect student outcomes and competencies by their interventions. Also, it can be inferred that as a result of administrators' competencies, participants teach in empowered work environments where they can model ideal behaviors. [

Culture and Climate: Factors That Influence the Academic Success of African American Students in Prelicensure Nursing Education
Authors: Murray Teri A. 
Published: December 2015

Background:
Despite numerous calls to diversify the nursing workforce, little progress has been made in increasing the numbers of African American graduates from prelicensure nursing programs, thus widening the diversity gap in the number of African Americans who enter the RN workforce.

Method:
An integrative literature review was conducted to determine whether, from the students' perspective, the institutional climate and culture influenced their academic success.

Results:
Themes of Alienation and Isolation, Persistent Determination, and Difficulty Seeking Help emerged as having an influence on students' academic success.

Conclusion:

On the basis of this review, professional development programs on topics such as implicit bias, microaggressions, and other unintentional and unconscious behaviors are recommended. [

Professional Presentation Skills Development in a Graduate Nursing Program
Authors: Fowler Debra L. , Jones Deborah J. 
Published: December 2015

Background:
Expert communication skills are essential for nurse leaders to effectively influence health care. Because effective communication is a learned process, the curriculum should promote the development of presentation skills. An educational strategy was designed to promote the development of effective presentation skills for learners in the Nursing Leadership and Administration (NLA) track of the master's in nursing curriculum.

Method:
Sixteen learners in the NLA cohort were participants in a three-session presentation skills workshop. Following a baseline presentation, participants were taught presentation strategies and skills. Expert evaluators and learner self-assessments rated their presentation skills.

Results:

Analysis of evaluators' ratings showed statistically significant (
p
< .001) increases in learners' presentation effectiveness. Analysis of learner self-ratings showed a statistically significant (
p
= .008) increase in perceived effectiveness of overall presentation skills.

Conclusion:

This unique educational intervention improved nurse leaders' presentation skills. Faculty found that the professional presentation skill workshop was important to learners' success. [

NSAID Pretreatment Inhibits Prostaglandin Release in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery
Authors: Schultz Tim , Joachim Stephanie C. , Szuler Marek , Stellbogen Mathias , Dick H. Burkhard 
Published: December 2015

PURPOSE:
To investigate whether short-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) pretreatment on the day of surgery inhibits prostaglandin release. Previous studies detected elevated prostaglandin levels after femtosecond laser treatment and identified them as a potential mediator for laser-induced miosis.

METHODS:
Patients underwent either image-guided femtosecond laser cataract surgery or conventional cataract surgery (n = 75). Half of the eyes per group received topical NSAID treatment on the day of surgery. Aqueous humor was collected from all patients. ELISA measurements were performed to detect aqueous humor prostaglandin levels.

RESULTS:

Femtosecond laser cataract surgery led to higher prostaglandin levels than conventional cataract surgery (
P
= .007). In both groups, NSAID pretreatment led to reduced prostaglandin release. In the femtosecond laser group, patients pretreated with NSAIDs had significantly lower prostaglandin values (65.3 ± 13.2 pg/mL) than patients not pretreated with NSAIDs (294.4 ± 66.5 pg/mL) (
P
= .0009).

CONCLUSIONS:
The short-term NSAID treatment prevented prostaglandin release in patients treated with image-guided femtosecond laser. Therefore, it has potential to limit intraoperative laser-induced miosis.

Control of Induced Spherical Aberration in Moderate Hyperopic LASIK by Customizing Corneal Asphericity
Authors: Amigó Alfredo , Bonaque-González Sergio , Guerras-Valera Eduardo 
Published: December 2015

PURPOSE:
To compare differences in induced aberrations and visual acuity after wavefront-optimized LASIK and aspheric-customized LASIK for the treatment of hyperopia.

METHODS:
Forty consecutive eyes underwent uneventful LASIK for treatment of moderate hyperopia (+3.82 ± 0.63 diopters [D] [+2.75; +5.125]). A standard procedure was performed in the wavefront-optimized LASIK group (n = 24), whereas a postoperative Q-factor equal to zero was scheduled in the aspheric-customized LASIK group (n = 16).

RESULTS:

At 6 months, mean spherical aberration for a 6-mm pupil diameter was −0.39 ± 0.23
µ
m (range: −0.76 to 0.01
µ
m) and Q-factor was −0.52 ± 0.22 (range: −1.00 to −0.12
µ
m) in the wavefront-optimized group and 0.04 ± 0.18
µ
m (range: −0.34 to 0.29
µ
m) and −0.04 ± 0.25 (range: −0.64 to 0.40
µ
m) in the aspheric-customized LASIK group (
P
≤ .05). All remaining outcomes showed no significant differences between groups. UDVA was 20/18.69 ± 0.15 (range: 0.80 to 1.20) in the wavefront-optimized LASIK group and 20/20 ± 0.17 (range: 0.50 to 1.20) in the aspheric-customized LASIK group. One patient in the wavefront-optimized LASIK group lost two or more lines of CDVA and no lines were lost in the aspheric-customized LASIK group.

CONCLUSIONS:
The results in this small cases series suggest that using an aspheric-customized ablation profile with a target Q-factor equal to 0 in moderate hyperopic LASIK is statistically compatible with a diminishing induced spherical aberration without altering procedural safety when the WaveLight Allegretto 400-Hz excimer laser platform (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX) is used.

Recalcitrant Epithelial Ingrowth After SMILE Treated With a Hydrogel Ocular Sealant
Authors: Thulasi Praneetha , Kim Sang Woo , Shetty Rohit , Randleman J. Bradley 
Published: December 2015

PURPOSE:
To report a case of recalcitrant epithelial ingrowth after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) treated successfully with a novel hydrogel ocular sealant.

METHODS:
Case report and literature review.

RESULTS:
A 32-year-old man who underwent small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) complicated by difficult lenticule extraction developed visually significant epithelial ingrowth. He then underwent two flap lifts and epithelial scrapings and flap edge suturing with recurrence of epithelial ingrowth despite these interventions. He subsequently underwent repeat scraping, followed by hydrogel ocular sealant placement (ReSure Sealant; Ocular Therapeutix, Inc., Bedford, MA), which prevented recurrence of epithelial ingrowth and reduced corneal haze. The patient was also found to have undiagnosed diabetes, suggesting that just as in LASIK, diabetes may be a risk factor for epithelial ingrowth after SMILE.

CONCLUSIONS:
Interface epithelial ingrowth is a potential complication after SMILE and diabetes may be a risk factor for this complication. Hydrogel ocular sealant may be effective after SMILE to prevent epithelial ingrowth into the interface.

Punctate Hyperfluorescent Spots Associated With Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy on Indocyanine Green Angiography
Authors: Kim Hyesun , Lee Ji Hwan , Kwon Kye Yoon , Byeon Suk Ho , Lee Sung Chul , Lee Christopher Seungkyu 
Published: December 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate punctate hyperfluorescent spots on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Retrospective observation case series of 88 eyes of 81 patients (63 men and 18 women) analyzing fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, ICGA, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings at baseline.

RESULTS:

Seven patients (9%) had bilateral PCV lesions. Mean age was 68.44 ± 5.94 years (range: 45 to 86 years). Macular-type PCV was found in 72 eyes (81.8%), peripapillary-type PCV in 12 eyes (13.6%), and combined-type PCV in four eyes (4.5%). Choroidal vascular hyperpermeability was observed in 38 eyes (43.2%), and punctate hyperfluorescent spots on ICGA in 47 eyes (53.4%). ICGA of unaffected fellow eyes of 74 patients with unilateral PCV revealed choroidal hyperpermeability in 23 eyes (31.1%) and punctate hyperfluorescent spots in 38 eyes (51.4%). Presence of punctate hyperfluorescent spots was significantly associated with choroidal vascular hyperpermeability (
P
< .001).

CONCLUSION:
Punctate hyperfluorescent spots were frequently observed in eyes with PCV in late-phase ICGA, as previously described in eyes with central serous chorioretinopathy, which may represent leakage from punctate hyperpermeable inner choroid spots or late staining of forme fruste drusen or drusen-like subretinal pigment epithelium deposits associated with choroidal hyperpermeability.

Authors: Salz David A. , Pitcher John D. , Hsu Jason , Regillo Carl D. , Fineman Mitchell S. , Elliott Kevin S. , Vander James F. , Fischer David H. , Spirn Marc J. 
Published: December 2015

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of oral eplerenone on subretinal fluid, visual acuity, and choroidal thickness in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Retrospective review of all patients (14 eyes of 14 patients) monitored for a minimum of 3 months with chronic CSCR who were treated with oral eplerenone in a single multi-physician retina practice. Visual acuity, dilated funduscopic examination, and spectral-domain ocular coherence tomography (OCT) with enhanced depth imaging (EDI) were obtained at each visit. Measurement of subfoveal fluid (SFF) height and choroidal thickness were performed. Two-tailed paired
t
test was used to calculate statistical significance of pre- and post-treatment variables.

RESULTS:

At 1 month, 10 of 14 eyes had decreased SFF height on OCT and two eyes had complete resolution of SFF. Mean SFF height decreased from 13 0µm to 62 µm (
P
= .05). Mean choroidal thickness decreased from 315 µm to 282 µm (
P
= .07). Mean visual acuity improved from logMAR 0.41 to 0.40. At 3 months, 13 of 14 (93%) had decreased SFF on OCT, and nine eyes (64%) had complete resolution of SFF. Mean SFF height decreased to 21 µm (
P
= .004). Mean choroidal thickness decreased to 253 µm (
P
= .10). Mean visual acuity improved to logMAR 0.28 (
P
= .02).

CONCLUSION:
Oral eplerenone may be effective in treating patients with chronic CSCR.

Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Promote Th Polarization, whereas Conventional Dendritic Cells Promote Th Proliferation
Authors: Chow Kevin V. , Lew Andrew M. , Sutherland Robyn M. , Zhan Yifan 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) dramatically increase in numbers upon infection and inflammation; accordingly, we found that this also occurs during allogeneic responses. Despite their prominence, how emergent moDCs and resident conventional DCs (cDCs) divide their labor as APCs remain undefined. Hence, we compared both direct and indirect presentation by murine moDCs versus cDCs. We found that, despite having equivalent MHC class II expression and in vitro survival, moDCs were 20-fold less efficient than cDCs at inducing CD4+ T cell proliferation through both direct and indirect Ag presentation. Despite this, moDCs were more potent at inducing Th1 and Th17 differentiation (e.g., 8-fold higher IFN-γ and 2-fold higher IL-17A in T cell cocultures), whereas cDCs induced 10-fold higher IL-2 production. Intriguingly, moDCs potently reduced the ability of cDCs to stimulate T cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo, partially through NO production. We surmise that such division of labor between moDCs and cDCs has implications for their respective roles in the immune response.
Breast Volume Asymmetry Value, Ratio, and Cancer Risk
Authors: Kayar Ragip , Çilengiroğlu Özgül V. 
Published: December 2015

Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the criteria for determining the cancer risk of the breast asymmetry by comparing breast volume asymmetry levels between healthy women and women with cancer. Materials and Methods Two hundred and one women with breast cancer (group 1) were compared with 446 healthy women (group 2) who had no pathologic findings in breast sonography and mammograpy repeated with one-year interval. Data were evaluated retrospectively. Each breast volume was measured twice by Grossman-Roudner Discs. The mean value has been recorded. The amounts of volume difference between two breasts (asymmetry value) and the rates of the volume difference to the breast volume of the smaller side (asymmetry ratio) were compared in both groups. Results There was a statistically significant difference between two groups with regard to average age and body mass index ( P < 0.01). This significance was decreased but not disappeared, when the comparison was made within the 40–69 age group ( P > 0.01). The rate of cases with asymmetry value over 50 mL was significantly higher in the cancer group ( P = 0.029). Unfortunately, it disappeared in the 40–69 age group ( P = 0.201). The breast volume asymmetry ratio over 20% was significantly higher in the cancer group both in all ages and in the 40–69 age group ( P < 0.01). Odds ratio was 2.18 in the entire (all) series and 2.01 in the 40–69 age group. Moreover, there was no significant difference with regard to the rate of tumor location between the smaller or larger side of breast. Conclusion Our data show that there is a positive correlation between breast asymmetry ratio over 20% and breast cancer risk. These results need to be confirmed by prospective randomized controlled trials.

Published: December 2015

Objective The aim of this study was to compare glucose intolerance in the antenatal and the postpartum periods using a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in the Japanese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using a retrospective design. Patients and Methods Data were obtained from 85 Japanese women with GDM who delivered from April 2011 through April 2015 and who underwent an OGTT 6–14 weeks postpartum. The women were divided into two groups based on the results of the postpartum OGTT: one group with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and the other with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) as well as impaired fasting glucose (IFG). We analyzed the associations between postpartum IGT–IFG and various factors. Results Antenatally, a significant difference was observed between the groups only in the 1-hour plasma glucose level of the 75-g OGTT. Postpartum results of plasma glucose level were significantly higher at 0.5, 1, and 2 hours in the IGT–IFG group than those in the NGT group. Moreover, a significant decrease in the levels of 0.5-hour immunoreactive insulin and insulinogenic index was observed in the IGT–IFG group compared to those in the NGT group. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance and homeostasis model assessment β-cell function of both groups were found to significantly decrease in the postpartum period; however, there was no significant change in the insulinogenic index of either group. Conclusions Our study clearly showed that the postpartum IGT and IFG levels of Japanese women with GDM are affected by impaired early-phase insulin secretion; however, insulin resistance promptly improves.
