Published: January 2015

Background: Poor hygiene practices and inadequate sanitary conditions play major roles in the increased burden of communicable diseases within developing countries. Objectives: To know knowledge and practice regarding hygiene and sanitation of households and to find out the hygienic practices with selected variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 30th April to 13th May 2012 in Dhankuta Municipality where 300 households were taken as subjects. Among 9 wards, 3 wards were randomly selected and equal number of households (100) from each ward was selected on the basis of simple random sampling. Semi-structured questionnaire was used and face to face interview was conducted. Chi-square test was applied to find out the hygienic practices with selected variables. Results: Most of respondents believed that hand washing reduces diseases (71.3%). They knew that diarrhoea is spread by dirty environment (55.7%) and drinking unsafe water (46.3%) and unhygienic food (43.3%). Majority of respondents (95.3%) washing hands with soap and water after defecation. Almost (30%) respondents used burning as a management of solid waste. The ladies were found to have better hygienic practices (92%) than gents (61.6%) and Brahmin/Chhetri (70%) were more hygienic than other ethnic groups. Conclusion: The knowledge and practice on hygiene and sanitation among the households of Dhankuta municipality was found to be fair.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/hren.v12i1.11985 Health Renaissance 2014;12(1):44-48
Medical error
Authors: Piryani R M 
Published: January 2015

Most staffs agreed, for good reasons of honesty and patient autonomy, that admission of errors is important, but the doctors struggled to decide how it should be done. Most agreed that the socio-legal climate in Nepal, and the possible financial implications, made it difficult to be completely honest. Other strong fears included violence from the patient, damage to the hospital’s reputation and to the reputation of the doctors and possible loss of jobs for nurses. The situation seems to be more or less same in other hospitals of Nepal. It is imperative for every hospital in Nepal to have a clinical ethical committee to look after this matter. There must be appropriate hospital policy on dealing with errors. Hospital staffs need specific training in reporting and disclosing error. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v4i4.11954

Published: January 2015

Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are a global problem adding to the economic burden of the society. Anti-cancer drugs are prone to cause ADRs and there is lack of pharmacovigillance data on such type drugs. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to monitor suspected ADRs in the cancer chemotherapy with its management in B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital (BPKMCH). The study was done in the inpatient department of BPKMCH from May, 2014 to July, 2014, among the patients receiving chemotherapy. It was a hospital based prospective observational study. Most commonly occurring cancer were lung (16%), ovary (15%), cervix (11%), breast, blood, and throat (9%). Most frequently used drugs for cancer chemotherapy were paclitaxel (25%), cyclophosphamide (18%), vincristine (9%), cisplatin (11%) and adriamycin (6%). Most common ADRs experienced were nausea & vomiting (85.45%), loss of appetite (72.72%), mucositis (65.45%), pain (63.63%), loss of breath (40%), constipation (52.72%) and polyneuropathy (58.18%).

Knowledge of HIV/AIDS among adolescence at intellectual academy in Kumarigal-7, Tushal, Kathmandu, Nepal
Authors: Rana G 
Published: January 2015

Introduction: Young people in Nepal are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS because of their poor knowledge of sexual health, unsafe sex practices, and limited use of condom. Adolescence should be targeted for prevention programs because it is possible to modify adolescents’ behavior as they may not have developed unsafe practices or if developed, these behaviors are not deeply rooted. The objective of this study was to identify knowledge of HIV/AIDS among adolescence. Methods: A descriptive design was used. A total of 50 adolescence were selected by using simple random sampling technique (lottery method) from Intellectual Academy, Kumarigal-7, Tushal, Kathmandu. Self administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from January 10, 2006 (2062-9-29) to April 8, 2006 (2062-12-26). Results: Only 66% of adolescence had knowledge that HIV/AIDS is communicable disease. Regarding transmission of HIV/AIDS, 90% adolescence answered transmit through unprotected sexual contact, 84% through contaminated blood products, 90% through infected mother to child transmission, 52% through use of shared razors and 94% through use of contaminated needles and syringes. Regarding preventive measures, All the participants had knowledge of using condom, screening of blood before transfusion, and avoid sharing of needles and syringes as preventive measures while 92% as one faithful sex partner and 52% as avoid use of shared razors. Conclusion: Most of adolescence had knowledge regarding mode of transmission of HIV/AIDS through unprotected sexual contact; infected mother to child transmission and use of contaminated needles and syringes. Likewise, on the context of signs of AIDS and preventive measures on HIV transmission, adolescence had knowledge.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmc.v4i4.11971

Authors: Ellis Jason A. , Mejia Munne Juan C. , Winfree Christopher J. 
Published: January 2015

OBJECT
Trigeminal branch stimulation has been used in the treatment of craniofacial pain syndromes. The risks and benefits of such an approach have not been clearly delineated in large studies, however. The authors report their experience in treating craniofacial pain with trigeminal branch stimulation and share the lessons they have learned after 93 consecutive electrode placements.

METHODS
A retrospective review of all patients who underwent trigeminal branch electrode placement by the senior author (C.J.W.) for the treatment of craniofacial pain was performed.

RESULTS
Thirty-five patients underwent implantation of a total of 93 trial and permanent electrodes between 2006 and 2013. Fifteen patients who experienced improved pain control after trial stimulation underwent implantation of permanent stimulators and were followed for an average of 15 months. At last follow-up 73% of patients had improvement in pain control, whereas only 27% of patients had no pain improvement. No serious complications were seen during the course of this study.

CONCLUSIONS
Trigeminal branch stimulation is a safe and effective treatment for a subset of patients with intractable craniofacial pain.
Airborne fine-resolution UHF radar: an approach to the study of englacial reflections, firn compaction and ice attenuation rates

Published: January 2015

AbstractWe have built and operated an ultra-wideband UHF pulsed-chirp radar for measuring firn stratigraphy from airborne platforms over the ice sheets of Greenland and West Antarctica. Our analysis found a wide range of capabilities, including imaging of post firn–ice transition horizons and sounding of shallow glaciers and ice shelves. Imaging of horizons to depths exceeding 600 m was possible in the colder interior regions of the ice sheet, where scattering from the ice surface and inclusions was minimal. The radar’s high sensitivity and large dynamic range point to loss tangent variations as the dominant mechanism for these englacial reflective horizons. The radar is capable of mapping interfaces with reflection coefficients as low as −80 dB near the firn–ice transition and as low as −64 dB at depths of 600 m. We found that firn horizon reflectivity strongly mirrored density variance, a result of the near-unity interfacial transmission coefficients. Zones with differing compaction mechanisms were also apparent in the data. We were able to sound many ice shelves and areas of shallow ice. We estimated ice attenuation rates for a few locations, and our attenuation estimates for the Ross Ice Shelf, West Antarctica, appear to agree well with earlier reported results.
Une petite énigme délienne : les « curieuses offrandes » des Hiéronautes de Tyr
Authors: Hermary Antoine 
Published: January 2015

Un bloc architectural portant une dédicace bilingue (en grec et en phénicien), trouvé en 1877 dans le sanctuaire d’Apollon à Délos, est resté relativement peu connu. Il a longtemps été considéré comme perdu, bien qu’il ait rapidement été transporté à Athènes, où il est toujours conservé (Musée épigraphique, EM 1862). Le petit monument auquel il appartenait contenait, d’après l’inscription grecque, les statues des villes de Tyr et de Sidon, dédiées par les « hiéronautes » de Tyr. Ces offrandes, que l’on peut dater autour de 340 av. J.-C., peuvent être rapprochées, dans l’art grec d’époque classique, d’une série d’images de villes personnifiées. On peut cependant se demander s’il n’existe pas un lien privilégié avec la tête d’Aphrodite coiffée d’une couronne murale qui est figurée, quelques années plus tôt, sur les monnaies du roi de Salamine de Chypre Evagoras II, ainsi qu’avec une série de sculptures chypriotes de cette époque.

Does Gender Affect Scientific Productivity ?
Authors: Mairesse Jacques , Pezzoni Michele 
Published: January 2015

Dans cette étude, nous reconsidérons la question de la moindre productivité scientifique des femmes, souvent désignée comme celle du « gender gap » ou du « productivity puzzle » par les économistes et sociologues de la science. Après une revue critique des travaux empiriques sur cette question, nous présentons les résultats d’une analyse économétrique conduite en parallèle sur deux échantillons de panels représentatifs des chercheurs en physique du cnrs et des enseignant-chercheurs en physique des universités françaises. Nous observons que, dans les deux cas, la productivité des physiciennes en termes de publication est largement inférieure, d’environ un tiers en moyenne, par rapport à celle de leurs collègues masculins. Nous concluons cependant que cette différence de productivité disparaît pour le cnrs et qu’elle s’inverse même pour les universités quand nous tenons compte de plusieurs facteurs, notamment ceux liés à des chances inégales de promotion et à des discontinuités notables dans les publications, qui peuvent refléter de forts engagements familiaux.

Published: January 2015

Nous étudions, dans le cas des États-Unis, la relation entre l’exposition à l’Internet et l’évolution des collaborations nationales et internationales entre institutions académiques. Nous utilisons comme un indicateur de l’exposition à Internet le nombre des années depuis lesquelles ces institutions ont adopté un nom de domaine ( dns ). Nous avons, par ailleurs, collecté les données de toutes les publications indexées par l’ isi , dans les domaines des sciences sociales et de la nature sur les années 1991-2007, pour plus de 1 200 collèges universitaires, universités et écoles de médecine aux États-Unis. Nous retenons deux mesures de collaboration institutionnelle nationale et internationale, définies par les pourcentages de publications ayant un auteur appartenant à chacune de ces institutions et ayant soit un ou plusieurs coauteurs dans une autre de ces institutions ( us-us ), soit un ou plusieurs coauteurs hors États-Unis ( us-intl ). Nos résultats montrent une croissance spectaculaire du pourcentage des collaborations nationales et internationales avec des différences par domaine importantes. Ils indiquent que la durée d’exposition à l’Internet a eu un effet positif et significatif dans le cas des institutions les plus performantes en recherche. JEL Codes : A14, I23, O33
L'embourgeoisement agricole
Authors: Laferté Gilles 
Published: January 2015

Résumé À travers une étude de cas, marquée par la double originalité d’une revisite et d’une ethnographie collective, il s’agit de réévaluer la position sociale contemporaine de certaines franges des agriculteurs dans la structure sociale. En effet, l’étude s’intéresse non pas aux paysans empaysannés, ni à la bourgeoisie agricole établie de longue date, deux figures aux antipodes d’une catégorie socioprofessionnelle très éclatée, mais aux enfants de la modernisation agricole qui connaissent une mobilité sociale ascendante depuis plusieurs décennies. L’augmentation des revenus, du patrimoine à la fois foncier puis immobilier, l’occupation des postes politiques ou encore la modification de l’habitat, tout comme les choix scolaires des enfants, concourent à interpréter ce processus comme un embourgeoisement. Après la « dépaysannisation », l’embourgeoisement est défini ici comme un processus d’accumulation d’abord du capital économique puis du capital culturel et social, processus guidé par une reconnaissance de la légitimité d’un ordre social et du mode de vie des dominants.
Glioblastoma multiforme and papillary thyroid carcinoma - A rare combination of multiple primary malignancies
Authors: Pulivarthi Swaroopa , Haglind Elizabeth , McGary Carl T. , Gurram Murali Krishna 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACTWe are describing a 19-year-old white woman who presented with two synchronous primary cancers, namely glioblastoma multiforme and papillary thyroid cancer. The patient was admitted with dizziness, headache, and vomiting. CT head revealed acute intraparenchymal hematoma in the right cingulate gyrus and the splenium of the corpus callosum. Carotid and cerebral angiogram were unremarkable. MRI of the brain demonstrated a non-enhancing and non-hemorrhagic component of the lesion along the lateral margin of the hemorrhage just medial to the atrium of the right lateral ventricle that was suspicious for a tumor or metastasis. Brain biopsy confirmed it as glioblastoma mutiforme. CT chest was done to rule out primary cancer that revealed a 11 mm hypodense lesion in the left lobe of the thyroid and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy confirmed it as papillary thyroid carcinoma. We should evaluate for multiple primary malignancies in young patients who are found to have primary index cancer.

Authors: Harbour Lindsey , Ingham Cayley , Streat Stephen , Bagg Warwick 
Published: January 2015

Aims • To explore organ donation and transplantation knowledge and attitudes among medical students at the University of Auckland. • To understand students' perception of the extent of training received prior to and during the medical program. Method A validated web-based questionnaire consisting of 42 questions in five categories was anonymously administered to all enrolled medical students at the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland, in September 2012. Results In all, 419 out of 989 (42%) Year 2–6 students responded. A total of 99.3% of medical students supported organ donation, but knowledge was limited (mean score 7.54/15±2.26). A total of 38% of students reported having participated in organ donation learning. A total of 96% of students believed that organ donation information should be available in primary care settings. A total of 69% of students reported that if a patient asked a question about organ donation that they did not know the answer to, they also would not know where to source the correct information from. Conclusion This study demonstrates that although medical students support organ donation, they lack the knowledge required to facilitate informative discussions with patients. Enhanced organ donation education in medical programs may enable students to develop skills and knowledge allowing them to better discuss donation with patients.
Generalized Torsion in Knot Groups
Authors: Naylor Geoff , Rolfsen Dale 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
In a group, a nonidentity element is called a generalized torsion element if some product of its conjugates equals the identity. We show that for many classical knots one can ûnd generalized torsion in the fundamental group of its complement, commonly called the knot group. It follows that such a group is not bi-orderable. Examples include all torus knots, the (hyperbolic) knot 52, and algebraic knots in the sense of Milnor.

Entrepreneurship, Knowledge, and the Industrial Revolution
Authors: Attar M. Aykut 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This paper constructs a two-sector unified growth model. Learning-by-doing in agriculture eventually allows the preindustrial economy to leave its Malthusian trap. But entrepreneurs in the manufacturing sector do not attempt invention if not much is known about natural phenomena. This delays the industrial revolution. Since entrepreneurs identify new useful knowledge at all times in a serendipitous way, the industrial revolution is an inevitable outcome. The paper characterizes the equilibrium path from ancient times to the infinite future. According with this characterization, the model economy successfully captures the qualitative aspects of England’s unified growth experience.
Clinical Results with a Supplementary Toric Intraocular Lens for the Correction of Astigmatism in Pseudophakic Patients
Authors: Ferreira Tiago B , Pinheiro João 
Published: January 2015

Purpose To evaluate the visual outcomes of pseudophakic patients who underwent supplementary toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation to correct astigmatic refractive errors. Methods Pseudophakic patients referred for the implantation of a supplementary toric IOL (Sulcoflex Toric 653T) were evaluated. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities (UDVA and CDVA, respectively), spherical equivalent (SE) refraction, rotational stability, higher order aberrations (HOA), and photopic glare and no-glare contrast sensitivity (CSV-1000, VectorVision) were evaluated. Results A total of 10 eyes of 10 patients were included. The mean age was 56.42 ± 5.9 years (range 45-65 years). Mean follow-up was 6.99 ± 5.1 months (6-18 months). Postoperatively, UDVA improved to 0.10 ± 0.12 (0.3 to −0.1) (p = 0.004) and CDVA to 0.07 ± 0.12 (0.3 to −0.1) (p = 0.021). Mean SE was −0.30 ± 0.56 D (-1.00 to +0.75) (p = 0.001). Mean toric IOL axis rotation at 6-month follow-up was 3.0° ± 2.45° (0-6). Ocular aberrometry values decreased after surgery (for average HOA root mean square, p = 0.008). Photopic contrast sensitivity (for all spatial frequencies) showed a trend for improvement after surgery; however, this was not borne out from the analysis (p>0.05). Conclusions The implantation of the Sulcoflex Toric IOL to correct astigmatism in pseudophakic patients provided excellent visual outcomes, predictability of refractive results, rotational stability, and optical performance. The implantation of this IOL is a safe and effective technique to correct pseudophakic cylindrical refractive errors and reduce spectacle dependence in these patients.
