Anterior Capsule Contraction Treated by Femtosecond Laser Capsulotomy
Authors: Schweitzer Cedric , Tellouck Laury , Gaboriau Thibaut , Leger François 
Published: March 2015

PURPOSE:
To describe a new method to treat severe anterior capsule contraction using a femtosecond laser anterior capsulotomy.

METHODS:
Case report.

RESULTS:
A 48-year-old woman with a history of myotonic dystrophy experienced a severe contraction of the anterior capsule following an uneventful phacoemulsification cataract surgery with a hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens implanted in the capsular bag. A femtosecond laser anterior capsulotomy was performed using a non-applanating fluid-filled interface. The spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging system associated with the laser enabled precise centration and location of the capsulotomy with a posterior cut located between the anterior surface of the intraocular lens and the anterior capsule inner surface. The free-floating capsulotomy was easily removed after the laser procedure, and 8 days postoperatively visual acuity recovered and myopic shift regressed with an intraocular lens centered in the capsular bag.

CONCLUSIONS:
Femtosecond laser assisted by a high-resolution imaging system appears to be a safe and efficient treatment for severe anterior capsule contraction.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery After Implantation of a Transparent Near Vision Corneal Inlay
Authors: Parkhurst Gregory D. , Garza Enrique Barragan , Medina Arthur A. 
Published: March 2015

PURPOSE:
To describe two cases of successful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in patients with a transparent hydrogel corneal inlay (Raindrop Near Vision Inlay; ReVision Optics, Inc., Lake Forest, CA).

METHODS:
Case report.

RESULTS:
In both cases, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery was performed with the inlay in place. The femtosecond laser pulses were delivered without difficulties, and the Raindrop inlay did not interfere with the visualization of intraocular structures during surgery. Following implantation of a monofocal intraocular lens targeted for plano, both patients experienced improvements in their uncorrected distance visual acuity and regained near vision.

CONCLUSIONS:
These two cases suggest that the presence of the Raindrop inlay left in situ does not preclude successful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.

Published: March 2015

Objective The aim of the current study was to evaluate the safety of a new reduced protein (2.1 g/100 kcal) infant formula containing 4 g/L of 90% galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and 10% fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). Methods Healthy term infants from Brazil were enrolled. Those born to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive mothers were randomized to a test ( n = 65) or control ( n = 63) formula group. Infants born to HIV-negative mothers were either exclusively breast-fed ( n = 79) or received a mixed diet (breast milk and test formula, n = 65). Between 2 weeks and 4 months of age, infants were exclusively fed according to their assigned group. Anthropometric measurements were taken at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months. Digestive tolerance was evaluated during the first 4 months. The primary outcome was mean daily weight gain between 2 weeks and 4 months in the test formula and breast-fed groups. Results Data from all infants ( N = 272) were used in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and data from 230 infants were used in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. The difference in mean daily weight gain between 2 weeks and 4 months in the test formula and breast-fed groups was 1.257 g/day (onesided 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.705 to inf, P < 0.001) in the PP analysis, showing that the lower bound of the 95% CI was above the -3.0 g/day non-inferiority margin. Results were similar in the ITT analysis. Symptoms of digestive tolerance and frequency of adverse events were similar in the two groups. Conclusions The formula containing 2.1 g/100 kcal protein and GOS and FOS was safe and tolerated well.
Awareness regarding Antenatal Investigations among Antenatal Mothers attending Selected Tertiary Hospital, Kochi, Kerala
Authors: Udayan Seethu , Viswanath Lekha , Varghese Linda 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Background
An antenatal investigation has now literally entered in the domain of prenatal care. Early antenatal investigations help to identify many sorts of medical and infectious diseases during pregnancy and initiate treatment for safeguarding the health of mother and fetus. Many antenatal mothers undergo antenatal investigations without adequate understanding.

Objectives
To identify awareness regarding antenatal investigations among antenatal mothers and to prepare an information booklet on antenatal investigations.

Materials and methods
It is a descriptive study conducted among 180 antenatal mothers attending Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Department in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) at Kochi. The subjects were selected using quota sampling technique. The trimester was selected as the quota. Sixty women each were selected from first, second and third trimesters. Data were collected using semistructured knowledge questionnaire developed by the investigator.

Results
The mean score of antenatal investigations was 8.96 ± 6.33 with maximum score 19. Among 180 subjects, 61% of antenatal mothers had poor level of awareness regarding antenatal investigations, 63% were belong to first trimester and 64% were primigravida.

Interpretation and conclusion
The study concluded that the level of awareness among antenatal mothers was poor. It is very essential to organize an awareness program to increase the uptake of antenatal investigations.

Selective Fetal Reduction in Triplet Pregnancy: Indian Experience — A Retrospective Review of 32 Cases
Authors: Chaudhury Kalyansree , Mukherjee Kanchan 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Aim
To review the effects of selective fetal reduction in trichorionic triplet pregnancy with focus on risk of miscarriage and preterm delivery in Indian women and thus provide local data for counseling the prospective parents in similar situation.

Materials and methods
This retrospective study reviewed the pregnancy outcome of 32 sets of triplet pregnancies following fetal reduction. All mothers had trichorionic triplet pregnancy with three live fetuses at 10 to 11 weeks of gestation. One to two milliliter ml of 10% potassium chloride (KCl) was injected into the heart of the target fetus to achieve asystole.

Results
The miscarriage (pregnancy loss before 24 completed weeks) rate in our study was 3.12%. The delivery in our study at. 32 and. 35 weeks were 6.45 and 51.61% respectively. The mean gestational age (mean ± SD) of the mothers was 242.58 ± 12.93 days. Regarding the birthweight of neonates, 5.08% babies were <1500 gm, 89.83% were between 1500 and. 2500 gm and 5.08% were > 2500 gm. The mean birth weight (mean ± SD) of the babies was 1921.18 ± 339.78 gm. There was no neonatal death in this cohort.

Conclusion
Our study results, when compared with ‘expectant management’ group of two European studies as there was no control in our study, appeared significantly better in terms of gestational age at delivery and neonatal birth weight. Selective fetal reduction remains an effective option to Indian women with trichorionic triplet pregnancy.

Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Aims and objectives
This study was aimed at comparing the various uterotonics in active management of third stage of labor and reducing blood loss.

Materials and methods
A prospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of SRMSIMS, Bareilly, in 100 women. Patients were randomized into four groups of 25 each and were given oxytocic within 1 minute of delivery of the baby. Oxytocics used were 10 IU intramuscular oxytocin, 0.2 mg intravenous methylergometrine, 125 μg intramuscular 15-methyl PGF2-alpha and 600 μg tablet misoprostol per rectally in groups A, B, C and D respectively.

Results
Duration of third stage of labor recorded was minimum with methergine with mean duration of 3.84 ± 0.99 minutes and was maximum with prostodin with mean duration of 5.04 ± 1.02 minutes. Amount of blood loss observed was minimum with methergine (mean 131 ± 72.037 ml) and maximum with Prostodin (mean 435 ± 147.578 ml). Hemoglobin drop was also seen maximally with prostodin with mean drop of 0.872 ± 0.458 gm% and minimally with methergine with mean drop of 0.236 ± 0.221 gm%. Change in the general condition of the patients in the form of tachycardia, fall in systolic and diastolic blood pressure was observed maximum with prostodin group whereas, in other groups, there was no significant change.

Conclusion
It is concluded from this study that methergine is the uterotonic of choice followed by oxytocin for active management of third stage of labor.

Nontraumatic Epidermoid Inclusion Cyst of Vulva in a Young Unmarried Female: A Rare Entity
Authors: Nagpal Anu , Mohan Praveen 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT
Epidermoid inclusion cysts are the most common types of simple dermal epithelial benign lesions, presenting as wellencapsulated subepidermal mobile nodules. They arise on hair-bearing areas but vulva is a rare site. We here report clinical and ultrasonography (USG) findings of a big epidermal nontraumatic inclusion epidermoid cyst at the vulva which was excised and histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of epidermoid inclusion cyst without any dysplasia.

Conjoined Twins with Thoracoabdominopagus Anomaly in the Third Trimester
Authors: Saranya G , Vijayaraghavan Jaya , LNU Bhuvana , LNU Sheela 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT
Conjoined twinning is rare; occurrence is about 1% of monochorionic twins. Here, we report a case of 26-year-old multigravida with 29 weeks pregnancy with conjoined twinsthoracoabdominopagus. Two live female babies joined at the chest and abdomen were delivered by cesarean section. The parents refused a separation operation and despite resuscitation the twins died of cardiopulmonary arrest after 16 hours. A review of the literature suggests that early diagnosis by a combination of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging is essential for predicting prognosis, management and success of surgical separation. It offers an opportunity for early counseling for parents and option for termination.

Intervention for Access-Induced Ischemia: Which Option is the Best?
Authors: Thermann Florian 
Published: March 2015

Introduction Access-induced ischemia is a rare but important surgical complication with potentially devastating long-term results. The question remains which therapeutic option is the best for the different forms of ischemia. Method A review of the literature concerning access-induced ischemia (classification, treatment) was performed; furthermore, our own experience of more than 300 cases with ischemia was discussed. Results There are four different stages of dialysis access-induced ischemia syndrome (DAIIS) that need adequate treatment: stage I conservatively, stage II fistula banding, stage III proximalization operation or distal revascularization interval ligation and stage IV closure of the access. Discussion According to the many publications and to our own experience, there are good therapeutic options for many of the patients with DAIIS. However, in case of extended lesions/gangrene, closure of the access should be discussed in time before major amputation becomes necessary.
Neurological Complications of Vascular Access
Authors: Gibbons Christopher P. 
Published: March 2015

Neurological problems are common in patients undergoing haemodialysis. Over 60% of patients will suffer from symptoms of underlying polyneuropathy due to uraemia or diabetes. Others will have subclinical disease demonstrable by nerve conduction studies. Nerve injury following haemodialysis access surgery is underreported. However, sensory nerve lesions are probably common after most vascular access procedures but are rarely debilitating. Nerve compression syndromes such as carpal tunnel and ulnar compression syndromes are common, especially in patients who have been on dialysis for some years and at least some of these are related to or exacerbated by the access. Recognition is essential as they are eminently treatable by decompression surgery. Tourniquet use appears to be safe for carpal tunnel or ulnar nerve decompression surgery. Ischaemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is rare but follows a period of ischaemia during or as a result of access surgery, most commonly to construct a brachial arteriovenous fistula or graft. It is characterised by intense pain, out of proportion to any ischaemia, involves all of the upper limb nerves and may progress to involve the motor nerves eventually resulting in a useless clawed hand. It requires prompt treatment of any residual ischaemia after access creation, if necessary by access ligation, as in the established syndrome, like the even rarer complication of reflex sympathetic dystrophy, it is very difficult to offer any useful treatment other than symptomatic relief and physiotherapy.
Type of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter and Outcomes
Authors: Gallieni Maurizio , Giordano Antonino , Pinerolo Cristina , Cariati Maurizio 
Published: March 2015

In peritoneal dialysis (PD), a well-functioning catheter is of great importance, because a dysfunctional catheter may be associated with incidence of peritonitis, efficiency of dialysis, and to the overall quality of treatment, representing one of the main barriers to optimal use of PD. When considering the relationship between PD catheter type and outcomes, we should keep in mind the different types of available PD catheters, those that are most commonly used in clinical practice, and the available head-to-head comparisons in the literature. The main differences in PD catheter design include the number of cuffs, the shape of subcutaneous tract (straight vs. swan neck), and the shape of intraperitoneal tract (straight vs. coiled). The availability of the best catheter design and materials, along with a skillful management of PD access, may have the greatest impact on long-term patient outcome on PD. It is now established that the use of straight catheters may improve outcomes and technique survival, but further advances in PD catheter technology can potentially improve technique survival. The self-locating PD catheter is a well established device that has not been fully studied and it may represent, based on the available observational evidence and on the clinical experience, an already existing technological advance deserving further studies.

Published: March 2015

Purpose A disfunctioning peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter has been reported in upto 35%. We report different salvage techniques used and its outcome. Methods We retrospectively reviewed our database on PD patients from 2009 to 2014. Operational data and data on PD catheter function were checked. Results From 2009 to 2014, we operated on 32 patients. Malfunction of their PD catheter was found in 23 patients and hernias in nine patients. Different laparoscopic techniques were used, including reposition of the catheter, fixation of the catheter, removal of adhesions and omentectomy. Of these 23 patients, 18 (78%) had a normal functioning catheter after the operation. Nine patients of the total of 32 patients had a correction of their hernia. In all cases, a non-absorbable mesh was used. Of those nine patients with a hernia, eight (89%) had a normal functioning catheter after the procedure. Conclusions The salvage of the catheter by means of a laparoscopic procedure or correction of a hernia is worthwhile and can save up to 81% of the catheters.
Blasfemie in de huidige context

Blasfemie in de huidige context
In this article, we inquire the merits of criminalizing blasphemy. We argue that religious views do not warrant a separate treatment compared to nonreligious ones. In addition, freedom of speech must be balanced against the interest of those who may be aggrieved by blasphemous remarks. We conclude that penalizing blasphemy is undesirable. It is fortunate, in that light, that acts of blasphemy have recently been decriminalized in The Netherlands by removing blasphemy as an offense from the Criminal Code. Still, other provisions appear to leave enough room to reach the same result, making the removal a possibly virtually aesthetic change. In the international context, it would be regrettable for The Netherlands to forgo the opportunity to take a leading role.
Moral Quality in Adjudication: On Judicial Virtues and Civic Friendship

Moral Quality in Adjudication: On Judicial Virtues and Civic Friendship
How best to account for moral quality in adjudication? This article proposes a six-pack of judicial virtues as part of a truly virtue-centred approach to adjudication. These virtues are presented as both constitutive and indispensible for realizing moral quality in adjudication. In addition, it will be argued that in order to honour the inherent relational dimension of adjudication a judge should not only possess these judicial virtues to a sufficient degree, he should also have the attitude of a civic friend. The Aristotelian concept of civic friendship will be proposed as an important complement to a virtue-ethical approach to adjudication.
Freedom of Religion and the Politics of the Liberal Public-Private Divide

Freedom of Religion and the Politics of the Liberal Public-Private Divide
The article considers the role of the liberal public-private divide in protecting religious minorities against national-majoritarian assault. It links the defence of the public-private divide to liberal neutrality and argues that it rests on two distinct propositions: that the distinction between the ’public sphere’ and the ’private sphere’ is a meaningful way to cognize and structure modern pluralistic societies; and that there is a meaningful way to distinguish what is or ought to be ‘public’ from what is or ought to be ‘private.’ While the latter proposition cannot be defended on grounds of liberal neutrality, the former proposition provides the institutional framework for conducting liberal politics by enabling the negotiation of the public and the private between national majorities and religious minorities as members of the same political community.

Published: March 2015

Stratégies de contournement ou de coalition, repositionnements, arbitrages au sein des portefeuilles de marques, disparition pure et simple : quelle tactique adopter quand on gère une « vieille » marque face à la menace que représente encore et toujours la MDD ? Certains fabricants résistent et prouvent que le combat est jouable sur le long terme via la création de barrières à l’entrée et le maintien d’avantages distinctifs sur la valeur ajoutée. Quelle est la vocation des grandes marques internationales et quels sont les enjeux des industriels face aux MDD aujourd’hui ? Les auteurs proposent des réponses à travers différents exemples sur le marché des produits de grande consommation .
Les pratiques durables
Authors: Daniel Maud , Sirieix Lucie 
Published: March 2015

Cette étude s’intéresse aux pratiques durables adoptées quotidiennement par les individus. 22 interviews en face à face et 308 enquêtes par questionnaires mettent en évidence une multitude de pratiques quotidiennes et insignifiantes qui participent de façon silencieuse à une forme de résistance ordinaire. Nous distinguons plus précisément trois types de pratiques : les pratiques durables de résistance à la consommation, les pratiques durables de résistance par la consommation et enfin des pratiques a priori durables qui ne témoignent d’aucune forme de résistance .
Les consommateurs résistants à la publicité
Authors: Cottet Patrice , Ferrandi Jean-Marc , Lichtlé Marie-Christine 
Published: March 2015

Cet article a plusieurs objectifs : identifier des actions représentatives de la résistance à la publicité et leurs motivations sous-jacentes ; vérifier si cette résistance se traduit par des comportements particuliers. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, des analyses typologiques et factorielles ont été menées. Elles mettent en évidence la diversité des profils de résistants selon leur degré de résistance et leurs motivations : les consommateurs les plus résistants préfèrent les publicités valorisant les caractéristiques des produits, au contraire des non-résistants, qui préfèrent les publicités moins réalistes. En reliant ces profils aux critères d’achat et aux sources d’informations utilisées par les consommateurs résistants, des implications managériales sont suggérées pour s’adapter à ces comportements. Par exemple, le choix de modes de communication perçus comme moins dissonants pourrait être un axe possible .
Fluorous‐Assisted Synthesis of (E)‐5‐[3‐Aminoallyl]‐Uridine‐5′‐O‐Triphosphate
Authors: Kore Anilkumar R. , Yang Bo , Srinivasan Balasubramanian 
Published: March 2015

AbstractAn efficient, reliable method for the chemical synthesis of (E)‐5‐[3‐aminoallyl]‐uridine‐5′‐O‐triphosphate (AA‐UTP), starting from 5‐iodouridine, is described. This new strategy features the involvement of one‐pot triphosphate formation and fluorous solid‐phase extraction (F‐SPE). The one‐pot synthesis involves the mono phosphorylation of fluorous‐tagged uridine, followed by the reaction with pyrophosphate to afford the fluorous‐tagged AA‐UTP. The F‐SPE is achieved by installing a fluorous‐tag onto the uridine prior to triphosphate formation, purification via F‐SPE, and cleavage of the fluorous‐tag. It is worth mentioning that this protocol produces AA‐UTP in high yield and purity using one simple F‐SPE; no conventional column chromatography is involved. © 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
