Chiari-related hydrocephalus: assessment of clinical risk factors in a cohort of 297 consecutive patients
Authors: Guan Jian , Riva-Cambrin Jay , Brockmeyer Douglas L. 
Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE
Patients treated for Chiari I malformation (CM-I) with posterior fossa decompression (PFD) may occasionally and unpredictably develop postoperative hydrocephalus. The clinical risk factors predictive of this type of Chiari-related hydrocephalus (CRH) are unknown. The authors' objective was to evaluate their experience to identify risk factors that may predict which of these patients undergoing PFD will develop CRH after surgery.

METHODS
The authors performed a retrospective clinical chart review of all patients who underwent PFD surgery and duraplasty for CM-I at the Primary Children's Hospital in Utah from June 1, 2005, through May 31, 2015. Patients were dichotomized based on the need for long-term CSF diversion after PFD. Analysis included both univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses.

RESULTS
The authors identified 297 decompressive surgeries over the period of the study, 22 of which required long-term postoperative CSF diversion. On multivariable analysis, age < 6 years old (OR 3.342, 95% CI 1.282–8.713), higher intraoperative blood loss (OR 1.003, 95% CI 1.001–1.006), and the presence of a fourth ventricular web (OR 3.752, 95% CI 1.306–10.783) were significantly associated with the need for long-term CSF diversion after decompressive surgery.

CONCLUSIONS
Younger patients, those with extensive intraoperative blood loss, and those found during surgery to have a fourth ventricular web were at higher risk for the development of CRH. Clinicians should be alert to evidence of CRH in this patient population after PFD surgery.
Anatomical configurations associated with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus among premature infants with intraventricular hemorrhage
Authors: Tully Hannah M. , Wenger Tara L. , Kukull Walter A. , Doherty Dan , Dobyns William B. 
Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a complication of prematurity often associated with ventricular dilation, which may resolve over time or progress to posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH). This study investigated anatomical factors that could predispose infants with IVH to PHH.

METHODS
The authors analyzed a cohort of premature infants diagnosed with Grade III or IV IVH between 2004 and 2014. Using existing ultrasound and MR images, the CSF obstruction pattern, skull shape, and brain/skull ratios were determined, comparing children with PHH to those with resolved ventricular dilation (RVD), and comparing both groups to a set of healthy controls.

RESULTS
Among 110 premature infants with Grade III or IV IVH, 65 (59%) developed PHH. Infants with PHH had more severe ventricular dilation compared with those with RVD, although ranges overlapped. Intraventricular CSF obstruction was observed in 36 (86%) of 42 infants with PHH and 0 (0%) of 18 with RVD (p < 0.001). The distribution of skull shapes in infants with PHH was similar to those with RVD, although markedly different from controls. No significant differences in supratentorial brain/skull ratio were observed; however, the mean infratentorial brain/skull ratio of infants with PHH was 5% greater (more crowded) than controls (p = 0.006), whereas the mean infratentorial brain/skull ratio of infants with RVD was 8% smaller (less crowded) than controls (p = 0.004).

CONCLUSIONS
Among premature infants with IVH, intraventricular obstruction and infratentorial crowding are strongly associated with PHH, further underscoring the need for brain MRI in surgical planning. Prospective studies are required to determine which factors are cause and which are consequence, and which can be used to predict the need for surgical intervention.
Hydrocephalus associated with childhood nonaccidental head trauma
Authors: Vadivelu Sudhakar , Rekate Harold L. , Esernio-Jenssen Debra , Mittler Mark A. , Schneider Steven J. 
Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE
The incidence of posttraumatic ventriculomegaly (PTV) and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus after nonaccidental head trauma (NAHT) is unknown. In the present study, the authors assessed the timing of PTV development, the relationship between PTV and decompressive craniectomy (DC), and whether PTV necessitated placement of a permanent shunt. Also, NAHT/PTV cases were categorized into a temporal profile of delay in admission and evaluated for association with outcomes at discharge.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed the cases of patients diagnosed with NAHT throughout a 10-year period. Cases in which sequential CT scans had been obtained (n = 28) were evaluated for Evans' index to determine the earliest time ventricular dilation was observed. Discharge outcomes were assessed using the King's Outcome Scale for Childhood Head Injury score.

RESULTS
Thirty-nine percent (11 of 28) of the patients developed PTV. A low admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score predicted early PTV presentation (within < 3 days) versus a high GCS score (> 1 week). A majority of PTV/NAHT patients presented with a subdural hematoma (both convexity and interhemispheric) and ischemic stroke, but subarachnoid hemorrhage was significantly associated with PTV/NAHT (p = 0.011). Of 6 patients undergoing a DC for intractable intracranial pressure, 4 (67%) developed PTV (p = 0.0366). These patients tended to present with lower GCS scores and develop ventriculomegaly early. Only 2 patients developed hydrocephalus requiring shunt placement.

CONCLUSIONS
PTV presents early after NAHT, particularly after a DC has been performed. However, the authors found that only a few PTV/NAHT patients developed shunt-dependent hydrocephalus.
Late pediatric ventriculoperitoneal shunt failures: a Singapore tertiary institution's experience
Authors: Lee Lester , Low Sharon , Low David , Ng Lee Ping , Nolan Colum , Seow Wan Tew 
Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE
The introduction of ventriculoperitoneal shunts changed the way hydrocephalus was treated. Whereas much is known about the causes of shunt failure in the first few years, there is a paucity of data in the literature regarding the cause of late shunt failures. The authors conducted a study to find out the different causes of late shunt failures in their institution.

METHODS
A 10-year retrospective study of all the patients who were treated in the authors' hospital between 2006 and 2015 was conducted. Late shunt failures included those in patients who had to undergo shunt revision more than 5 years after their initial shunt insertion. The patient's notes and scans were reviewed to obtain the age and sex of the patient, the time it took for the shunt to fail, the reason for failure, and the patient's follow-up.

RESULTS
Forty-six patients in the authors' institution experienced 48 late shunt failures in the last 10 years. Their ages ranged from 7 to 26 years (12.23 ± 4.459 years [mean ± SD]). The time it took for the shunts to fail was between 6 and 24 years (mean 10.25 ± 3.77 years). Reasons for failure resulting in shunt revision include shunt fracture in 24 patients (50%), shunt blockage in 14 patients (29.2%), tract fibrosis in 6 patients (12.5%), shunt dislodgement in 2 patients (4.2%), and shunt erosion in 2 patients (4.2%). Postoperative follow-up for the patients ranged from 6 to 138 months (mean 45.15 ± 33.26 months).

CONCLUSIONS
Late shunt failure is caused by the effects of aging on the shunt, and the complications are different from early shunt failure. A large proportion are complications associated with shunt calcification. The authors advocate a long follow-up for pediatric patients with shunts in situ to monitor them for various causes of late shunt failure.
Maternal environmental risk factors for congenital hydrocephalus: a systematic review
Authors: Kalyvas Aristotelis V. , Kalamatianos Theodosis , Pantazi Mantha , Lianos Georgios D. , Stranjalis George , Alexiou George A. 
Published: November 2016

OBJECTIVE
Congenital hydrocephalus (CH) is one of the most frequent CNS congenital malformations, representing an entity with serious pathological consequences. Although several studies have previously assessed child-related risk factors associated with CH development, there is a gap of knowledge on maternal environmental risk factors related to CH. The authors have systematically assessed extrinsic factors in the maternal environment that potentially confer an increased risk of CH development.

METHODS
The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and EMBASE were systematically searched for works published between 1966 and December 2015 to identify all relevant articles published in English. Only studies that investigated environmental risk factors concerning the mother—either during gestation or pregestationally—were included.

RESULTS
In total, 13 studies (5 cohorts, 3 case series, 3 case-control studies, 1 meta-analysis, and 1 case report) meeting the inclusion criteria were identified. Maternal medication or alcohol use during gestation; lifestyle modifiable maternal pathologies such as obesity, diabetes, or hypertension; lack of prenatal care; and a low socioeconomic status were identified as significant maternal environmental risk factors for CH development. Maternal infections and trauma to the mother during pregnancy have also been highlighted as potential mother-related risk factors for CH.

CONCLUSIONS
Congenital hydrocephalus is an important cause of serious infant health disability that can lead to health inequalities among adults. The present study identified several maternal environmental risk factors for CH, thus yielding important scientific information relevant to prevention of some CH cases. However, further research is warranted to confirm the impact of the identified factors and examine their underlying behavioral and/or biological basis, leading to the generation of suitable prevention strategies.
Brachiopoda of Greece: an annotated checklist
Authors: Gerovasileiou Vasilis , Bailly Nicolas 
Published: November 2016

Until today, only scattered species records of Brachiopoda from Greece have been included in publications on the Mediterranean brachiopod fauna. These records were mostly based on material collected during marine expeditions in the eastern Mediterranean decades ago, while few recent additional records appear in ecological studies. The aim of this paper was to give the first checklist of brachiopod species of Greece, in the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI), by reviewing the existing literature.
Twelve brachiopod species have been found in Greek waters so far. The nomenclature, distribution, fossil records, ecology, and literature sources are discussed for each species.
Mysida and Lophogastrida of Greece: a preliminary checklist
Authors: Koulouri Panayota , Gerovasileiou Vasilis , Bailly Nicolas 
Published: November 2016

The checklist of Mysida and Lophogastrida of Greece was created within the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), which is one of the applications of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) resuming efforts to develop a complete checklist of species recorded and reported from Greek waters. The objectives of the present study were to update and cross-check taxonomically all records of Mysida and Lophogastrida species known to occur in Greek waters in order to search for inaccuracies and omissions.
The up-to-date checklist of Mysida and Lophogastrida of Greece comprises 49 species, classified to 25 genera.
Macrobenthic molluscs from a marine - lagoonal environmental transition in Lesvos Island (Greece)
Authors: Evagelopoulos Athanasios , Koutsoubas Drosos , Gerovasileiou Vasilis , Katsiaras Nikolaos 
Published: November 2016

This paper describes an occurence dataset, also including numerical abundance and biomass data, pertaining to the macrobenthic molluscan assemblages from a marine - lagoonal environmental transition. The study system was the soft-substrate benthoscape of the area of the Kalloni solar saltworks (Lesvos Island, Greece). Specifically, the study area extended from the infralittoral zone of the inner Kalloni Gulf (marine habitat) to the bottoms of the first two evaporation ponds of the Kalloni solar saltworks (lagoonal habitat). Bottom sediment samples (3 replicates) were collected with a Van Veen grab sampler (0.1 m2) at four sampling sites, along a 1.5 km long line transect that spanned the marine - lagoonal environmental transition. A total of four surveys were carried out seasonally in 2004. A total of 39,345 molluscan individuals were sorted out of the sediment samples and were identified to 71 species, belonging to the Gastropoda (36), Bivalvia (34) and Scaphopoda (1) classes. Numerical abundance and wet biomass (with shells) data are included in the dataset.
The dataset described in the present paper partially fills a significant gap in the scientific literature: Because ecological research of coastal lagoons has seldom explicitly considered the marine - lagoonal habitats interface, there are no openly accessible datasets pertaining to the particular structural component of the transitional waters benthoscapes of the Mediterranean Sea. Such datasets could prove valuable in the research of the structure and functioning of transitional waters benthoscapes. The present dataset is available as a supplementary file (Suppl. material 1) and can also be accessed at http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r=kalloni_saltworks_phd.
Les enjeux urbains et patrimoniaux de la reconstruction après la guerre franco-prussienne à Strasbourg
Authors: Eberhardt Sophie 
Published: November 2016

Lors du conflit franco-prussien de 1870, les quartiers nord-ouest et plusieurs édifices publics de Strasbourg sont sévèrement endommagés par les canonnades. La reconstruction de la nouvelle capitale du Reichsland d’Alsace-Lorraine dans l’Empire allemand est lancée dès les lendemains du siège, bien avant que l’ambitieux projet d’extension urbaine – la Neustadt (1880) – soit conçu. Le nouveau plan d’alignement du secteur situé autour de l’ancienne gare entre le faubourg de Saverne et le faubourg de Pierre est entériné en 1871 et les principaux édifices publics sont restaurés dès 1872. Ces reconstructions constitueront-elles des ruptures dans l’urbanisme et l’architecture de la ville ? Le changement d’appartenance nationale se répercutera-t-il sur les projets et les réalisations conduits par la municipalité et, conséquemment, sur l’héritage bâti et le paysage strasbourgeois ?L’article examine la restructuration des quartiers nord-ouest et la restauration des bâtiments tels que la cathédrale, l’ancien hôtel de Klinglin et l’ancien théâtre municipal, sous l’angle des enjeux urbains et patrimoniaux.
L’Ancienne Douane de Strasbourg
Authors: Rivière Cécile 
Published: November 2016

Suite aux lourdes destructions subies par l’Ancienne Douane de Strasbourg pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un projet de reconstruction et de reconversion est élaboré pendant deux décennies (1945-1963). Dès l’origine, apparaît une dissociation entre l’enveloppe et les fonctions, traitées par différents acteurs. Le lien formel est assuré par l’architecte Robert Will. L’évolution dans les deux domaines (contenant/contenu) montre la prédominance de deux facteurs communs : l’identité du lieu et le tourisme. Du point de vue des fonctions, le restaurant-brasserie et les salles d’exposition attirent un public local mais aussi touristique. Du point de vue architectural, il s’agit de reconstituer un paysage urbain « historique » servant d’avant-plan à la cathédrale depuis les quais. Ainsi, la façade sur l’Ill et les toitures font l’objet d’une reconstitution intégrale d’un état historique (1780-1819), avec quelques modifications dues aux fonctions et à la structure en béton armé. Vient également s’y adjoindre une terrasse sans antécédent historique, illustration de la politique touristique de la Ville. Jugées peu importantes, les façades sur rue et latérale, non classées, sont extrêmement simplifiées, y perdant leur pittoresque. Enfin, l’architecture des espaces intérieurs est de style moderne, sans lien avec l’histoire ou l’enveloppe du bâtiment. Cette dernière a alors pour seul rôle d’être un objet urbain. Cette conception du patrimoine est proche du façadisme : à elles seules, la façade sur l’Ill et les toitures sont sensées représenter l’identité du bâtiment entier. Ce projet de recréation d’une perspective « historique » peut être apparentée à du pastiche : la stratification historique réelle de l’édifice n’est que très peu lisible.
La nuit des assises du Guirbaden
Authors: Kern Laura 
Published: November 2016

En 1852, l’archéologue et folkloriste alsacien Auguste Stoeber publia ses Sagen des Elsasses, ouvrage dans lequel ont été répertoriées plus de 300 légendes alsaciennes, issues de la tradition orale, extraites d’ouvrages savants du XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles et de chroniques médiévales et modernes. Dans cet article, nous avons pour objectif d’analyser une légende narrant l’origine d’une vengeance éternelle se tenant sous la forme d’assises de justice, menées par les habitants du château de Guirbaden, château situé près de Mollkirch dans le Bas-Rhin.Pour cette étude, il nous a fallu retracer la généalogie des sources littéraires de la légende ainsi que le contexte historique de sa réception au XIXe siècle mais également du récit légendaire lui-même. La particularité de ce récit réside dans le fait que l’archéologue et facteur d’orgues Jean-André Silbermann (1712-1783) entendit la légende de la bouche de vieillards résidant à Dorlisheim, qui connurent dans leur jeunesse l’un des acteurs de ladite légende. Ainsi, nous pouvons nous interroger : ce récit est-il uniquement une construction imaginaire ou bien est-il fondé sur des réalités historiques ?
Strasbourg entre la Suède et l’Empire
Authors: des XIII La journée du novembre au Conseil , Krieger Pierre 
Published: November 2016

L’étude de la guerre de Trente Ans et du XVIIe siècle en Alsace, et, par extension, à Strasbourg, demeure aujourd’hui un parent pauvre des études historiques concernant notre région. Plusieurs raisons expliquent cet état de fait : les difficultés paléographiques et de compréhension de la langue dans les documents d’archives sont très importantes et, surtout, la part d’historiens germanophones en Alsace devient de plus en plus ténue. En effet, peu de travaux d’envergure ont été menés depuis ceux de Jean-Baptiste Ellerbach, de Rodolphe Reuss et, plus récemment, de Jean-Pierre Kintz dans les domaines social et économique surtout. Ainsi, par cet article, nous allons tenter d’apporter de nouveaux éléments à ces recherches et nous intéresserons à une infime partie de l’histoire de ce « Schwedenkrieg » à Strasbourg, c’est-à-dire à la journée du 16 novembre 1631 au Conseil des XIII dans la ville libre d’Empire de Strasbourg. Cet article est issu de notre mémoire de master intitulé « La ville libre d’Empire de Strasbourg et la Suède de Gustave II Adolphe durant la guerre de Trente Ans : négociations, alliance et propagande (1631-1633) » soutenu en 2014. Nous suivrons pas à pas de houleux débats et des négociations dans la Chambre strasbourgeoise concernant la ligne politique directrice à suivre pour la République, débats qui scelleront l’avenir de la cité rhénane.
Mémoires Frank : l’étonnant destin d’un témoignage historique de deux grands médecins liés à l’Alsace
Authors: Edel Philippe 
Published: November 2016

La mémoire des migrants perdure rarement dans leur pays d’origine. C’est le cas du professeur de médecine Jean Pierre Frank, petit-fils d’un fournisseur des armées originaire d’Alsace, qui fit une brillante carrière académique dans de prestigieuses universités d’Allemagne, d’Italie et de Russie et devint célèbre au début du XIXe siècle comme pionnier de l’hygiène publique. Son fils Joseph, également médecin et universitaire, rédigea leurs mémoires qui constituent un remarquable témoignage historique sur les pratiques médicales et sur la vie sociale et culturelle en Europe pendant près d’un siècle. Strasbourg y est cité à plusieurs reprises. Rédigé en français, langue internationale par excellence à l’époque, ce volumineux manuscrit – près de 3 500 pages – n’a paradoxalement jamais été publié dans sa version originale, alors que d’importants chapitres l’ont été au XXe siècle et au début du XXIe siècle en allemand, anglais, italien, polonais, lituanien. Ce document présente pourtant un réel intérêt, notamment pour l’Alsace avec laquelle les Frank ont entretenu des liens singuliers.
Leonhard Baldner – Zu seinem Testament und Nachlassverzeichnis
Authors: Fluck Hans-R. , Scharbach Albert 
Published: November 2016

Cette contribution présente deux documents provenant des Archives Municipales de Strasbourg qui ont disparu là-bas depuis longtemps et que l’on retrouve maintenant dans des collections privées. Il s’agit en premier lieu du testament du pêcheur et magistrat strasbourgeois Leonhard Baldner (1612-1694) qui est connu pour ses études de la faune locale du Rhin Supérieur (livre sur les oiseaux, poissons et animaux). En deuxième lieu, elle concerne l’inventaire des biens réalisé après sa mort par l’étude du notaire Johannes Kitsch. Les deux documents mettent en évidence que Leonhard Baldner n’était pas – tel qu’il est peint de façon romancée dans la littérature – un pauvre et simple pêcheur avec un talent particulier pour l’observation de la nature. Il apparait de manière claire qu’il était un membre très apprécié de la corporation des pêcheurs, un bourgeois aisé et érudit ainsi qu’un père de famille attentionné. Il fut en mesure de laisser à son épouse et à ses enfants un patrimoine considérable. De plus ces documents nous apprennent la date, jusqu’à présent inconnue, de son décès : le 1er février 1694.
Detection of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in Patients After Discharge From Intensive Care
Authors: Warlan Heather , Howland Lois , Connelly Cynthia 
Published: November 2016

BackgroundDespite emphasis on identifying personal and clinical characteristics that place patients at higher risk for posttraumatic stress syndrome after intensive care, the extent of screening for the syndrome in intensive care patients is unknown.ObjectivesTo examine the feasibility and acceptability of a screening tool to detect posttraumatic stress syndrome, screen for the syndrome soon after discharge from intensive care to identify patients at risk for post-traumatic stress disorder, and determine personal and clinical factors related to higher scores on the screening instrument.MethodsA single-center, cross-sectional design was used. At 2 to 4 weeks after hospital discharge, 41 patients treated in an intensive care unit completed the screening instrument and the Screening Experience Questionnaire via telephone. Associations between participants’ characteristics and scores were examined, and screening experiences were described.ResultsParticipants reported that the screening instrument was easy to understand, caused little distress, and could be completed in an acceptable time frame. Participants reported that they had not been screened via a formal process or received education during or after their stay in the unit. Among the participants, 44% preferred screening in the outpatient setting. Higher scores on the screening tool were associated with history of depression, moderate levels of sedation, and intensive care unit delirium.ConclusionsThe majority of intensive care patients most likely are not being screened for posttraumatic stress syndrome despite a higher risk for the syndrome in these patients than in the general population.
