OBJECTIVEIntracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with a poor prognosis and high mortality, but no study has elucidated the association between glycemic variability (GV) and functional outcome in ICH. The authors of this study aimed to determine whether GV is a predictor of 30-day functional outcome in ICH patients.METHODSThe study recruited 366 patients with first-ever acute-onset ICH in the period during 2014 and 2015. Fasting blood glucose was assessed on admission and with 7-day continuous monitoring. Glycemic variability was calculated and expressed by the standard deviation (GluSD) and coefficient of variation (GluCV). Patients were divided into groups of those with diabetes mellitus (DM), stress hyperglycemia (SHG), and normal glucose (NG). Functional outcome was measured using the modified Rankin Scale.RESULTSThe numbers of patients with DM, SHG, and NG were 108 (29.5%), 127 (34.7%), and 131 (35.8%), respectively. As compared with the DM patients, those with SHG had higher mortality (29.9% vs 15.7%, p < 0.05) and a poorer prognosis (64.6% vs 52.8%, p < 0.05). Poor prognosis was associated with both high GluSD (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.19–1.99) and high GluCV (1.05, 1.02–1.09), especially in the DM group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was greater for the GluSD (OR 0.929, 95% CI 0.902–0.956) and the GluCV (0.932, 0.906–0.958) model than the original model (0.860, 0.823–0.898) in predicting a poor outcome.CONCLUSIONSStress hyperglycemia may be associated with increased mortality and a poor outcome in ICH, and increased GV may be independently associated with a poor outcome, particularly in ICH patients with DM.

OBJECTIVEThe authors report a novel surgical route from a superior anatomical aspect—the contralateral anterior interhemispheric-transcallosal-transrostral approach—to a lesion located in the subcallosal region. The neurosurgical approach to the subcallosal region is challenging due to its deep location and close relationship with important vascular structures. Anterior and inferior routes to the subcallosal region have been described but risk damaging the branches of the anterior cerebral artery.METHODSThree formalin-fixed and silicone-injected adult cadaveric heads were studied to demonstrate the relationships between the transventricular surgical approach and the subcallosal region. The surgical, clinical, and radiological history of a 39-year-old man with a subcallosal cavernous malformation was retrospectively used to document the neurological examination and radiographic parameters of such a case.RESULTSThe contralateral anterior interhemispheric-transcallosal-transrostral approach provides access to the subcallosal area that also includes the inferior portion of the pericallosal cistern, lamina terminalis cistern, the paraterminal and paraolfactory gyri, and the anterior surface of the optic chiasm. The approach avoids the neurocritical perforating branches of the anterior communicating artery.CONCLUSIONSThe contralateral anterior interhemispheric-transcallosal-transrostral approach may be an alternative route to subcallosal area lesions, with less risk to the branches of the anterior cerebral artery, particularly the anterior communicating artery perforators.

Published: November 2017

Sciatic nerve injuries cause debilitating functional impairment, particularly when the injury mechanism and level preclude reconstruction with primary grafting. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical feasibility of nerve transfers from the distal femoral nerve terminal branches to the tibial nerve and to detail the successful restoration of tibial function using the described nerve transfers.Six cadaveric legs were dissected for anatomical analysis and the development of tension-free nerve transfers from femoral nerve branches to the tibial nerve. In 2 patients with complete tibial and common peroneal nerve palsies following sciatic nerve injury, terminal branches of the femoral nerve supplying the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles were transferred to the medial and lateral gastrocnemius branches of the tibial nerve. Distal sensory transfer of the saphenous nerve to the sural nerve was also performed. Patients were followed up for lower-extremity motor and sensory recovery up to 18 months postoperatively.Consistent branching patterns and anatomical landmarks were present in all dissection specimens, allowing for reliable identification, neurolysis, and coaptation of donor femoral and saphenous nerve branches to the recipients. Clinically, the patients obtained Medical Research Council Grade 3 and 3+ plantar flexion by 18 months postoperatively. Improved strength was accompanied by improved ambulation in both patients and by a return to competitive sports in 1 patient. Sensory recovery was demonstrated by an advancing Tinel sign in both patients.This study illustrates the clinical success and anatomical feasibility of femoral nerve to tibial nerve transfers after proximal sciatic nerve injury.

Published: November 2017

OBJECTIVEChildren who have subdural hematomas (SDHs) with no or minimal neurological symptoms (SDH-mild symptoms) often present a forensic challenge. Nonabusive causes of SDH, including birth-related SDH, benign enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces (BESS), and other proposed causes have been offered as etiologies. These alternative causes do not provide explanations for concomitant suspicious injuries (CSIs). If SDH with mild symptoms in young children are frequently caused by these alternative causes, children with SDH-mild symptoms should be more likely to have no other CSIs than those who have SDH with severe symptoms (SDH-severe symptoms). Additionally, if SDH with mild symptoms is caused by something other than abuse, the location and distribution of the SDH may be different than an SDH caused by abuse. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of other CSIs in patients who present with SDH-mild symptoms and to compare that prevalence to patients with SDH-severe symptoms. Additionally, this study sought to compare the locations and distributions of SDH between the two groups. Finally, given the data supporting BESS as a potential cause of SDH in young children, the authors sought to evaluate the associations of BESS with SDH-mild symptoms and with other CSIs.METHODSThe authors performed a 5-year retrospective case-control study of patients younger than 2 years of age with SDH evaluated by a Child Abuse Pediatrics program. Patients were classified as having SDH-mild symptoms (cases) or SDH-severe symptoms (controls). The two groups were compared for the prevalence of other CSIs. Additionally, the locations and distribution of SDH were compared between the two groups. The presence of BESS was evaluated for associations with symptoms and other CSIs.RESULTSOf 149 patients, 43 presented with SDH-mild symptoms and 106 with SDH-severe symptoms. Patients with SDH-mild symptoms were less likely to have other CSIs (odds ratio [OR] 0.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.08–0.5) and less likely to have severe retinal hemorrhages (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.03–0.3). However, 60.5% of patients with SDH-mild symptoms had other CSIs. There was no difference between the groups regarding the location and distribution of SDH. Of the entire study cohort, 34 (22.8%) had BESS, and BESS was present in 17 (39.5%) of the SDH-mild symptoms group and 17 (16%) of the SDH-severe symptoms group (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.5–7.6). The presence of BESS was significantly associated with a lower chance of other CSIs (OR 0.1, 95% CI 0.05–0.3). However, 17 patients had BESS and other CSIs. Of these 17, 6 had BESS and SDH-mild symptoms.CONCLUSIONSThe high occurrence of other CSIs in patients with SDH-mild symptoms and a similar high occurrence in patients with BESS (including those with SDH-mild symptoms) indicate that such children benefit from a full evaluation for abuse.

Evolutionary dynamics of the Middle Spotted Woodpecker and the oak in the Canton of Vaud
In the Canton of Vaud, the Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos medius) has shown a considerable increase in population over recent decades: in 2015, there were about 170 nesting territories. A census of the woodpecker, by its song, and a dendrometric inventory, taken together, made it possible to map the forest environment favourable to this bird, and to estimate present trends. Standing volume of oak in territories occupied by the Middle Spotted Woodpecker is, on average 124 m3/ha, of a total standing volume of 302 m3/ha. In more than 90% of territories of the Middle Spotted Woodpecker, standing volume of conifers is less 150 m3/ha, and of non-coniferous other than oak 269 m3/ha. These forests show a strong deficit in young stands capable of succeeding the mature oaks; this situation represents a long term threat to the oak and, as a result, to the populations of the Middle Spotted Woodpecker. A logical consequence of this situation is the need for a policy based on a strong political will to encourage oak-rich forests; the high genetic variability of the oak gives it an advantage compared to other species with regard to adaptation to climate change, but also with regard to the maintenance of biodiversity, the result of a heritage of several thousand years, of which the Middle Spotted Woodpecker is an integral part.

Ecological assessing of forest edges: comparison of two methods
In Switzerland, forest edges are mostly man-made. Potentially, forest edge ecotones are very rich in species. In agricultural landscapes, they are also the main element of ecological connectivity. Unfortunately, today's forest edges are mostly far too narrow and monotonous to optimally fulfil their role. Some years ago, therefore, the federal government started a programme to improve the ecological quality of forest edges. Of course, the impact of the programme should be monitored and several assessment methods were developed. In the present paper, we compared the assessment methods of Pro Natura and Krüsi by applying them to eleven upgraded and three untreated forest edges. Even though both methods take into account the structure and the floristic richness of forest edges, they differ in many details. One major difference is that the Pro Natura method is based on estimates while the Krüsi method whenever possible relies on measurements. With both methods, it was possible to distinguish valuable from less valuable forest edges and, fortunately, the results of both methods even highly correlated. In conclusion, for a quick assessment by lay men, the rapid and simple Pro Natura method is recommended, whereas for scientific monitoring, the more reproducible and more sophisticated but also more time-consuming Krüsi method is more suitable.
Vlf Surface-impedance Measurements for Ice-defth Mapping in the Antarctic
Authors: Thiel David V. , Neall Fiona 
Published: November 2017

AbstractVLF surface-impedance measurements were made along four traverses on the Antarctic ice sheet in the vicinity of Casey base. Computer modelling of the surface-impedance data allowed ice-depth predictions to be made; predictions which are almost independent of ice temperature for ice depths less than 800 m. Results agree with ice-radar and other ice-depth data. Surface-impedance anomalies were observed close to moraines and crevasses in the ice sheet. The technique is fast and the instrumentation sufficiently portable for single-person operation.
Air Movement in Snow Due to Windpumping
Authors: Colbeck S.C. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractStrong winds can disrupt the thermal regime in seasonal snow because of the variation in surface pressure associated with surface features like dunes and ripples. Topographical features of shorter wavelengths produce stronger surface flows, but the flow decays rapidly with depth. Longer-wavelength features produce weaker surface flows but the flow decays more slowly with depth. The flow may only be strong enough to disrupt the temperature field for features of wavelengths on the scale of meters or tens of meters at wind speeds of 10 m/s or more.Other possible causes of windpumping have been examined but they do not appear to be as significant. Rapid pressure perturbations due to turbulence produce very little displacement of the air because of the high frequency and low amplitude. Barometric pressure changes cause compression and expansion of the air in the pore space, but the rate is too low to have much effect.
Detection of Climate Signal by Inter-stake Correlations of Annual Ablation Data Qamanârssûp Sermia, West Greenland
Authors: Braithwaite Roger J. , Olesen Ole В 
Published: November 2017

AbstractAnnual ablation on Qamanârssûp sermia, West Greenland, varies with year and location. The time variation of ablation at any stake consists of climate signal and noise due to errors and local topography. Variations of ablation at different stakes are positively correlated with each other with inter-stake correlation coefficients depending on the relative magnitudes of climate signal and noise. Inter-stake correlations and noise are very sensitive to gross errors in the data, while climate signal is less sensitive. Low values of inter-stake correlations are used to detect suspect data, and elimination of such data reduces the noise standard deviation from ±0.40 to ±0.28 m water a−1 for 6 years of record compared with a climate signal of ±0.55 m water a−1. The climate signal on Qamanârssûp is positively correlated with summer mean temperature and negatively correlated with annual precipitation. This shows that even a sparse stake network as at Qamanârssûp sermia gives useful glacier-climate information which can be applied to studies of both glacier hydrology and greenhouse effect.
Increased Inflammatory Response in Association with the Initiation of Hemodialysis Compared with Peritoneal Dialysis in a Prospective Study of End-Stage Kidney Disease Patients
Authors: Yong Kenneth , Dogra Gursharan , Boudville Neil , Lim Wai 
Published: November 2017

Background Large epidemiological studies have demonstrated an early survival advantage with the initiation of peritoneal dialysis (PD) compared to haemodialysis (HD). Chronic inflammation may contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We hypothesize that the initiation of HD in ESKD patients is associated with a greater inflammatory response compared with PD. Aims To examine the effects of initiating HD and PD upon inflammation and CVD risk markers in ESKD patients. Methods We per formed a pilot prospective study on 75 predialysis CKD stage-5 subjects comparing the effects of HD and PD upon high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin(IL)-12, IL-18 and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Study visits were conducted 3 – 6 months before (baseline) and after (follow-up) initiation of dialysis Results Thirty-nine and 36 patients were initiated on HD and PD respectively. HD patients were older than PD patients (65.1 ± 2.1 vs 57.7 ± 2.7 years; p = 0.03) but had similar baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), hsCRP, IL-12, IL-18, and PWV. At follow-up, HD patients had significantly increased hsCRP levels [5.2(3.7, 7.3) vs 1.7(1.0, 2.8)g/L; p < 0.001] compared to PD. Follow-up blood pressure, IL-12, IL-18, and PWV were similar between groups. A significant association remained between hsCRP and HD after adjustment for age, previous CVD, and residual urine output. Conclusion The initiation of HD was associated with significantly increased hsCRP compared to PD. Further study is required to determine the plausibility of inflammation as a potential underlying contributor to the observed early mortality difference between dialysis modalities.

Background Evidence of effective interventions to prevent peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter malfunction before first use is presently insufficient to guide clinical care. Regular flushing of the PD catheter (e.g. before PD commencement) has been adopted by some practitioners in the belief that it will prevent catheter obstruction and/or malfunction. The aim of this study was to characterize and evaluate PD catheter flushing practices across Australian and New Zealand PD units. Methods An on-line survey was distributed to all 62 PD units in Australia (12 August 2016; n = 51) and New Zealand (2 February 2017; n = 11), with questions relating to PD catheter flushing practices, audit, and outcomes. Results Forty-nine units of variable size (< 16 to > 100 patients) completed the survey (79% response rate). All centers flushed PD catheters at some stage after insertion as routine unit practice. Forty-one units (84%) routinely flushed during periods of PD rest at varying intervals ranging from alternate daily to monthly. The type and volume of solution used to flush varied between units. Units that practised routine flushing of PD catheters were almost twice as likely to audit their catheter-related outcomes (66% vs 38%, p = 0.23) and more likely to have reported blocked catheters in the preceding 12 months (84% vs 0%, p = 0.01) compared with those units that did not routinely flush PD catheters. Thirty units (61%) regularly audited and monitored catheter-related outcomes. Conclusions This study identified a wide variation in center practices relating to PD catheter flushing. Drawing conclusions about any relationship between flushing practices and clinical outcomes was impeded by the relatively low uptake of regular auditing and monitoring of catheter-related outcomes across surveyed units. Evaluation of the benefits and harms of standardized PD catheter flushing practices on patient outcomes in a randomized trial is needed to guide practice.
