Published: February 2017

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION A 6-year-old castrated male Boxer was evaluated for a 5-week history of frequent vomiting, melena, and signs of abdominal pain following accidental ingestion of 5 to ten 15-mg meloxicam tablets (approx ingested dose, 3.1 to 6.2 mg/kg [1.4 to 2.8 mg/lb]).
CLINICAL FINDINGS Clinical signs persisted despite 3 weeks of treatment with sucralfate (41.8 mg/kg [19 mg/lb], PO, q 8 h) and omeprazole (0.8 mg/kg [0.36 mg/lb], PO, q 24 h). Results of a CBC and serum biochemical analysis were unremarkable. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed peptic ulceration, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy confirmed the presence of severe proximal duodenal ulceration.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME A radiotelemetric pH-monitoring capsule was placed in the gastric fundus under endoscopic guidance for continuous at-home monitoring of intragastric pH and response to treatment. Treatment was continued with sucralfate (as previously prescribed) and omeprazole at an increased administration frequency (0.8 mg/kg, PO, q 12 h). Intragastric pH was consistently ≥ 3.0 for > 75% of the day during treatment, with the exception of 1 day when a single dose of omeprazole was inadvertently missed. Ulceration and clinical signs completely resolved.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Continuous radiotelemetric monitoring of intragastric pH in the dog of this report was useful for confirming that treatment achieved a predetermined target pH and for demonstrating the impact of missed doses. Duodenal ulceration resolved with twice-daily but not once-daily omeprazole administration. Findings suggested that twice-daily administration of omeprazole may be necessary to achieve this target pH and that a pH ≥ 3.0 for 75% of the day may promote healing of peptic ulcers in dogs.
Transseptal Access with Crossing Multiple Incisions for Improved Pedicle Control and Septum Preservation: “How I do it”

Introduction Recently, the surgical management of nasal tumors has been greatly influenced by advanced endoscopic techniques. To achieve complete endoscopic resection of large obstructing nasal tumors, a sufficient corridor for adequate exposure is also required. In the Japanese language, TACMI means “master expert,” and herein we describe an endoscopic technique with novel elements that we term transseptal access with crossing multiple incisions (TACMI). This approach enables a direct transseptal approach to the pedicle through tumor transposition while allowing complete septal reconstruction and stability. Methods We prospectively collected data from eight patients who underwent the TACMI approach for sinonasal tumors. Results When using TACMI, complete en bloc neoplasm resection was achieved in all but one patient, who underwent piecemeal tumor removal. The follow-up duration ranged from 10 to 28 months (mean, 19 months). None of the patients experienced septal perforation, nasal valve incompetence, or tumor recurrence. Conclusion We presented evidence that TACMI was a simple, efficient, and effective technique for tumor transposition, and for pedicle visualization and access of challenging unilateral sinonasal lesions. These advantages contributed to limited blood loss, improved pedicle control, and complete nasal valve and septum preservation without functional deficits.

Nosocomial infections (NIs) are one of the most important health issues, particularly in developing countries, because these infections cause high mortality and morbidity, and economic and human resource loss as a consequence Nosocomial infections can be defined as those occurring within 48 hours of hospital admission, 3 days of discharge or 30 days of an operation. Many studies have examined risk factors of nosocomial infections. However, knowledge of frontline workers (attendants) in infection prevention have been reported rarely in developing countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of attendants working in different wards and OPDs about infection prevention. S: Data were collected from 100 attendants in Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital. Regarding the knowledge on hand washing, gloving and personal accessories for Infection Prevention, majority of the respondents had good knowledge ranging from 94-100%. Though hospital has established Infection Prevention Committee and regular training on infection prevention is provided to all the staffs, the data indicated that only 68% respondents were benefitted by the infection prevention training and proper use of virex solution to disinfect the equipment’s was found unsatisfactory. Infection control is the responsibility of all Health Care Facility (HCF) personnel. The goal of the infection control policies are to identify and reduce risks of acquiring and transmitting infections among patients, staff, students, volunteers, contract service workers, and visitors Although significant effort has been made to reduce the Nosocomial infections, regular training as well as monitoring supervision will enhance the capacity of the health care providers and front line workers for cleaning services they are our valued respondents.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v6i1.55069
Thomas More and Charles V Part II / III: A good servant of the Queen
Authors: Olivares Merino Eugenio M. 
Published: February 2017

By 1527 Henry VIII was convinced that his marriage with Catherine of Aragon was not valid. In the complex net of political relations between Western European monarchies, this was not to remain a private issue; rather on the contrary, it would condition English foreign policy during the late 1520’s and the 1530’s. In March 1531, the Emperor Charles V wrote a brief letter to the Chancellor of England, Sir Thomas More, as a proof of his Majesty’s gratitude to More for being, in Chapuys’ words, a good servant of the Queen Catherine in the “King’s Great Matter”. However, the English Chancellor refused to receive the letter (or even meet the ambassador). A year later, More resigned as Henry declared himself Supreme Head of the Church of England. In this continuation of a previous paper (Moreana 50.191-192), I will draw a parallel narration of the lives of More and the Emperor – from 1527 to 1532 (the year of Sir Thomas’ resignation) –, since both were framed (in different degrees) by three major issues: the King’s Matter – and his attitude towards Catherine; the war against the Turks; and the spread of Lutheranism. Chapuys is a central character in my approach, since he was a determinant key in bringing More and Charles closer to each other.

La Monnaie de Saint-Lô et la circulation des espèces en Basse Normandie à la fin du Moyen âge (2nde moitié du XVe siècle)
Authors: Jambu Jérôme 
Published: February 2017

Dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle, la Normandie est en reconstruction après avoir été saignée par la guerre de Cent Ans, avant d’entamer le «beau XVIe siècle » (Le Roy Ladurie). Dans sa partie occidentale, que l’on appellera bientôt Basse Normandie, un atelier monétaire est ouvert, celui de Saint-Lô, dirigé par une famille, les Basire. Il frappe assez régulièrement la plupart des monnayages d’or et de billon – hélas pas toujours de bonne qualité – décidés par les autorités, et ce malgré les aléas de la politique financière de la monarchie et des difficultés de fonctionnement comme l’absence récurrente de graveurs. En cette période de «phase de l’or » , avant la
«grande inondation du métal blanc » (Spooner), les frappes royales ne suffisent cependant pas à satisfaire des besoins d’une région dont la démographie et l’économie se redressent rapidement. Y circulent donc des monnaies étrangères et, face à la rareté du numéraire, parfois à plus haut prix, tandis que les nombreux changeurs déployés sur le territoire tentent de nettoyer au mieux la circulation monétaire des pièces viles, fausses et prohibées.
The Relativistic Jet-accretion Flow–wind Connection in Mrk 231

Abstract
Long-term radio monitoring of the broad absorption line (BAL) quasar Mrk 231 at 17.6 GHz detected a strong flare in 2015. This triggered four epochs of Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations from 8.4 to 43 GHz as well as three epochs of X-ray observations with NuSTAR and two with XMM over a 15 week period. Two ejected components were detected by the VLBA observations. A conservative lower bound on the apparent speed of the first ejection is attained by assuming that it was ejected when the flare began,

. Serendipitous far-UV Hubble Space Telescope observations combined with our long-term radio monitoring seem to indicate that episodes of relativistic ejections suppress flux that is emitted at wavelengths shortward of the peak of the far-UV spectral energy distribution, similar to what has been observed in radio-loud quasars. Episodes of strong jet production also seem to suppress the high-ionization BAL wind seen in weak jet states. We found a statistically significant increase (

) of the 3–12 keV flux during the radio flare relative to a quiescent radio state. This is explained by an ultra-fast (∼0.06c) X-ray-absorbing photoionized wind that is significantly detected only in the low-radio state (similar to Galactic black holes). Mrk 231 is becoming more radio loud. We found that the putative parsec-scale radio lobe doubled in brightness in nine years. Furthermore, large flares are more frequent, with three major flares occurring at ∼2 year intervals.

Published: February 2017

Objective.Because there are no epidemiologic data regarding the frequency of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) in a general population, we sought to analyze this disabling condition in a large, well-characterized, community-based cohort of older individuals.Methods.Cross-sectional data, including ankle radiographs, were from the most recent data collection (2013–2015) of the Johnston County OA Project. Radiographic ankle OA (rAOA) was defined as a Kellgren-Lawrence arthritis grading scale of ≥ 2 on weight-bearing lateral and mortise radiographs. The presence of pain, aching, or stiffness in the ankles as well as history of ankle injury (limiting ability to walk for at least 2 days) were assessed. Chi-square statistics (categorical variables) and Student t tests (continuous variables) were used to compare all participant characteristics by rAOA status. Joint-based logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to examine associations of rAOA and covariates of interest [age, body mass index (BMI), sex, race, ankle symptoms, and injury history].Results.Of 864 participants with available data, 68% were women, 34% were African American, with a mean age of 72 years and BMI of 31 kg/m2. Nearly 7% of this sample had rAOA. Increasing age, high BMI, history of ankle injury, and presence of ankle symptoms were all independently associated with greater odds of having rAOA; no significant differences were seen by sex or race.Conclusion.The frequency of rAOA was higher than estimates generally quoted in the literature. While injury was an important contributor, other factors such as age, BMI, and symptoms were also significantly associated with rAOA.
L’adoption silencieuse
Authors: Cornalba Vincent 
Published: February 2017

L’adoption silencieuse relève d’un contrat à plusieurs acteurs : l’enfant placé, l’assistante familiale, l’institution et les parents. L’origine de cette adoption se fonde, d’une part, sur un besoin pour l’enfant de mettre à distance le sentiment de culpabilité à l’égard d’un meurtre parental qu’il pense avoir agi et, d’autre part, sur un effet de résonance qui réactualise une blessure mal ou non élaborée chez l’adulte. La dimension narcissique y est prévalente.
Adopter une nouvelle langue : Aharon Appelfeld et l’hébreu
Authors: Mock Keren 
Published: February 2017

Le cas singulier de l’hébreu illustre l’itinéraire de l’adoption d’une langue à la fois ancienne et nouvelle au XIX e siècle. Quels processus intrapsychiques sous-tendent l’adoption de cette nouvelle langue qui deviendra une langue maternelle ? Entre désirs d’oubli et de reconstruction, placé sous le signe d’impromptues réminiscences du passé, ce processus d’adoption et de subjectivation est le témoignage d’une nouvelle filiation psychique telle que la relate l’écrivain israélien Aharon Appelfeld.
Yellow-Billed Loon Subsistence Harvest in Alaska: Challenges in Harvest Assessment of a Conservation Concern Species
Authors: Naves Liliana C. , Zeller Tamara K. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The yellow-billed loon Gavia adamsii was designated as a candidate species for listing as threatened or endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 2009. Subsistence harvest was identified as a threat based on the 2007 harvest estimate for the Bering Strait region of Alaska. This estimate was unusually high and inconsistent with data on the species' abundance and distribution. We conducted this study in 2011–2012 on St. Lawrence Island, in the Bering Sea, to fulfill data needs related to this Endangered Species Act listing process. Our objectives were to clarify 1) loon species harvested, 2) numbers of loons harvested, and 3) loon harvest methods and uses by local subsistence communities. We conducted harvest surveys, ethnographic research, and shore-based bird counts. Loons were &lt;1% of all bird harvest. Pacific loons Gavia pacifica were 96% of observed loons and likely comprised the majority of loons harvested. Local ethnotaxonomy grouped loons by size (large or small) and overall plumage (breeding or nonbreeding), differing from scientific taxonomy. We found no evidence that loon migratory aggregations occurred near St. Lawrence Island or that intense harvest effort targeted loons. We estimated that five yellow-billed loons were harvested annually in 2011 and 2012. Hatch-year loons were likely at least half of the loon harvest, lessening effects of harvest on loon populations. Our study exemplifies the importance of using multidisciplinary approaches and engaging subsistence users to improve harvest assessment and inform wildlife conservation policy.
The Inflammatory Bowel Disease–Associated Autophagy Gene Atg16L1T300A Acts as a Dominant Negative Variant in Mice

Published: February 2017

Abstract
The basis of the increased risk for Crohn’s disease conferred by the Atg16L1T300A polymorphism is incompletely understood. An important step forward came from the recent demonstration that the murine equivalent of Atg16L1T300A (Atg16L1T316A) exhibits increased susceptibility to caspase 3–mediated cleavage and resulting decreased levels of full-length Atg16L1 in macrophages. However, although this finding showed that this polymorphism is a loss-of-function abnormality, it did not address the possibility that this polymorphism also affects the function of a normal Atg16L1 allele in heterozygous mice. Therefore, we evaluated the function of the Atg16L1T300A polymorphism heterozygote and homozygote in knock-in (KI) mice. Surprisingly, we found that macrophages from both types of KI mice exhibit defective autophagic induction; accordingly, both types of mice exhibit defects in bacterial clearance coupled with increased inflammasome cytokine (IL-1β) responses. Furthermore, macrophages from both types of KI mice displayed defects in TNF-α–induced Atg16L1T300A cleavage, increased retention of bacteria, bacterial dissemination, and Salmonella-induced colitis. These studies suggested that chromosomes bearing the Atg16L1T300A polymorphism can interfere with the function of the wild-type (WT) Atg16L1 allele and, thus, that the Crohn’s disease risk polymorphism is a dominant-negative variant with the potential to act as a disease factor, even when present on only one chromosome. This conclusion was supported by the finding that mice bearing a WT Atg16L1 allele and a null allele (Atg16L1KO/+ mice) exhibit normal autophagic function equivalent to that of WT mice.
On the return-volatility relationship in the Bitcoin market around the price crash of 2013
Authors: Bouri Elie , Azzi Georges , Dyhrberg Anne Haubo 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
The authors examine the relation between price returns and volatility changes in the Bitcoin market using a daily database denominated in US dollar. The results for the entire period provide no evidence of an asymmetric return-volatility relation in the Bitcoin market. The authors test if there is a difference in the return-volatility relation before and after the price crash of 2013 and show a significant inverse relation between past shocks and volatility before the crash and no significant relation after. This finding shows that, prior to the price crash of December 2013, positive shocks increased the conditional volatility more than negative shocks. This inverted asymmetric reaction of Bitcoin to positive and negative shocks is contrary to what one observes in equities. As leverage effect and volatility feedback do not adequately explain this reaction, the authors propose the safe-haven effect (Baur, Asymmetric volatility in the gold market, 2012). They highlight the benefits of adding Bitcoin to a US equity portfolio, especially in the pre-crash period. Robustness analyses show, among others, a negative relation between the US implied volatility index (VIX) and Bitcoin volatility. Those additional analyses further support the findings and provide useful information for economic actors who are interested in adding Bitcoin to their equity portfolios or are curious about the capabilities of Bitcoin as a financial asset.
Statistical analysis of Lagrangian transport of subtropical waters in the Japan Sea based on AVISO altimetry data
Authors: Prants Sergey V. , Budyansky Maxim V. , Uleysky Michael Yu. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract. Northward near-surface Lagrangian transport of subtropical waters in the Japan Sea frontal zone is simulated and analysed based on altimeter data for the period from 2 January 1993 to 15 June 2015. Computing different Lagrangian indicators for a large number of synthetic tracers launched weekly for 21 years in the southern part of the Sea, we find preferred transport pathways across the Subpolar Front. This cross-frontal transport is statistically shown to be meridionally inhomogeneous with gates and barriers whose locations are determined by the local advection velocity field. The gates open due to suitable dispositions of mesoscale eddies facilitating propagation of subtropical waters to the north. It is documented for the western, central and eastern gates with the help of different kinds of Lagrangian maps and verified by some tracks of available drifters. The transport through the gates occurs by a portion-like manner, i.e. subtropical tracers pass the gates in specific places and during specific time intervals. There are some forbidden zones in the frontal area where the northward transport has not been observed during all the observation period. They exist due to long-term peculiarities of the advection velocity field.
Addressing the Difficult Questions

Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT
This article examines the difficulties inherent in dialogue that have prevented efforts from bearing greater fruit. It acknowledges the distance that has been covered since the beginning but aims to point out some of the attitudes and presuppositions that can cause a dialogue to stall or become sterile. Sometimes respectful but difficult questions need to be asked to enable a deeper engagement with the other. It then seeks to suggest some ways forward so that dialogue can continue to bear fruit and enrich its participants.
