Use of a spiral rectal diaphragm technique to control anal sphincter incontinence in a cat
Authors: Pavletic Michael , Mahn Matt , Duddy Jean 
Published: September 2012

Abstract
Case Description—A 10-year-old castrated male domestic shorthair cat was examined for a mass involving the right anal sac region.
Clinical Findings—The mass was diagnosed as a fibrosarcoma, and resulted in progressive tenesmus, requiring repeated resection.
Treatment and Outcome—Surgical removal of the fibrosarcoma was performed on 4 occasions, including complete resection of the anal sphincter muscles and portions of the rectum. A perineal urethrostomy was required during the third surgical procedure secondary to tumor invasion of the preputial tissues. To reduce involuntary loss of feces, the remaining rectal wall was rotated approximately 225° prior to surgical closure during the second, third, and fourth surgical procedures. This procedure created a natural spiral diaphragm within the rectal lumen. The elastic spiral barrier reduced inadvertent fecal loss and facilitated fecal distention of the terminal portion of the colon, allowing the patient to anticipate the impending passage of feces and to use the litter tray on a daily basis.
Clinical Relevance—With complete loss of the terminal portion of the rectum and anal sphincter muscles, spiraling the rectum created a deformable threshold barrier to reduce excessive loss of stool secondary to fecal incontinence. On the basis of the positive outcome in this patient, this novel technique may be a useful option to consider for the treatment of cats with loss of anal sphincter function.

Published: September 2012

Abstract
This paper presents an application of fuzzy approach to vehicle crash modeling. A typical vehicle to pole collision is described and kinematics of a car involved in this type of crash event is thoroughly characterized. The basics of fuzzy set theory and modeling principles based on fuzzy logic approach are presented. In particular, exceptional attention is paid to explain the methodology of creation of a fuzzy model of a vehicle collision. Furthermore, the simulation results are presented and compared to the original vehicle’s kinematics. It is concluded which factors have influence on the accuracy of the fuzzy model’s output and how they can be adjusted to improve the model’s fidelity.

Published: September 2012

Background and Objectives: Pregnancy is the physiological process in which progressive anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes occur. Secretion of different hormones during pregnancy is responsible for maternal adaptation to the increasing demand of the growing fetus. The present study was aimed to evaluate serum calcium and phosphate status in normal pregnant women in different trimesters. Materials and Methods: A total number of 140 subjects, age range 20-40 (yrs) were recruited in the study which includes 100 normal pregnant women termed as study group (Group B) and 40 healthy women without pregnant (Group A), served as Control. Group B subjects were subdivided into Group B1 (n=12), Group B2 (n=30) and Group B3 (n=58) on the basis of duration of pregnancy- 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters respectively. Calcium was measured by CPC (photometric method for Ca) and serum phosphate by colorimetric method. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS for Windows, Version 10. Unpaired Student's -'t' test performed to calculate statistical differences between groups. Results: Age (yrs) (mean±SD) and BMI of the pregnant women in different groups did not show statistical difference. Serum calcium (mean±SD) levels in the 1st (p=0.0001) and 2nd (p=0.02) trimester was significantly higher compared to the Controls. In 3rd the value was significantly lower (p=0.015) compared to the Controls and of 1st and 2nd trimesters (p=0.001). Serum phosphate (mean±SD) levels in three trimesters did not show statistical significant difference compared to the Controls and among the pregnancy groups. Conclusion: The data concluded that serum calcium level was lower during third trimester of the study subjects which may be explained by the fact of increased demand of the growing fetus and exposing the mother at risk of complications related to low serum calcium.

The “Peri-Psychotic” in the Intersticial Clinics of Somatopsychical Excitation and Inhibition
Authors: Boucherat-Hue Valérie 
Published: September 2012

Autour des concepts de configuration péripsychotique et de handicap somatopsychique, l’article illustrera les cliniques de l’excitation (psychique) et des avatars du refoulement, qu’il s’agisse des « en-trop » à situer du côté des débordements pulsionnels, ou qu’il s’agisse des « en-moins » à ranger du côté de l’extinction conflictuelle. A partir d’une vignette clinique, de cure psychanalytique dont le dispositif a été aménagé, je vais aborder la fonction défensive, en l’occurrence pare-excitante que peut revêtir le handicap psychique et ses variantes somatopsychiques quand il s’agit d’incarner et de colmater dans les mouvements hallucinatoires transféro-contretransférentiels la résurgence de traumatismes originels dans les psychopathologies de l’inhibition et du défaut d’inhibition qu’on peut appeler, de manière imagée, les cliniques de l’(ab)négation.
La période de latence comme temps logique
Authors: Ahmad Julie 
Published: September 2012

L’auteur propose d’envisager la période dite de latence chez l’enfant, dans la métaphore d’une conception structurale du sujet et de sa genèse, comme « temps logique » au sein duquel s’entérine le refoulement de l’Œdipe et le renoncement aux parents de l’infantile, d’une part, et s’anticipe l’avènement des processus adolescents, d’autre part. Ce temps de latence est alors envisagé en ses trois moments logiques que sont : premièrement, la déception de l’enfant face aux parents comme « instant du regard » ouvrant sur l’entrée dans la latence ; deuxièmement, l’interrogation de la place de l’Autre comme « temps pour comprendre » propre à l’opération structurante de la latence ; troisièmement, la disqualification des parents à incarner l’Autre comme conclusion logique objectivée dans l’après-coup de la latence par l’avènement de l’adolescence.
Le corps contemporain et la problématique de l´anorexie mentale
Authors: Fortes Isabel 
Published: September 2012

L´article établit un parallèle entre le lieu central occupé par la dimension du corps, tant dans la culture que dans la clinique psychanalytique, de nos jours, et l´augmentation de l´incidence des cas d´anorexie observés dans les dernières décennies. Tout d´abord, quelques éléments importants sont présentés, lesquels indiquent la présence du corps aujourd´hui dans la culture, à partir des notions d’« individu somatique » et de « sujet cérébral ». Dans la clinique psychanalytique, on observe que certains symptômes se manifestent directement dans le corps, sans que le patient les associe à un conflit psychique. L´anorexie mentale est travaillée pour illustrer de quelle manière la souffrance psychique s´incarne dans la dimension du corps, à partir de deux traits qui peuvent être détectés dans la subjectivité contemporaine et qui sont liés au syndrome anorexique : la perturbation dans la constitution de l´image corporelle et la négation de l´altérité.
Échecs de la FIV par don d'ovocytes ou un lieu pour la subjectivité
Authors: Simoglou Vassiliki 
Published: September 2012

Opérant un clivage au sein même du concept de « mère », la FIV 1 par don d’ovocytes signe un mode de filiation féminine marqué par l’absence de lien héréditaire à l’enfant et à la fois, par la présence d’un lien en-corps. Souvent nommés les « empruntés » ou les « étrangers », les ovocytes donnés et fécondés par le sperme du conjoint deviennent inconcevables, tentative après tentative. Repérer les effets subjectifs de cette technique particulière d’AMP dans la littérature contemporaine permet d’interroger la non survenue de grossesse comme mode de restitution de la subjectivité brisée.

Hug-Hellmuth or the Impasses of an Objectifying Conception of the Infantile
Authors: Lenormand Marie 
Published: September 2012

Hermine von Hug-Hellmuth fut, avant Melanie Klein et Anna Freud, la première psychanalyste d’enfants. Pourtant, ses œuvres théoriques et cliniques au service d’une orthodoxie freudienne demeurent en général tout aussi peu connues que son existence tragique et exceptionnelle. S’inscrivant dans un questionnement épistémologique, cet article ne cherche pas à situer les énoncés théoriques de cette théoricienne dans l’histoire des idées psychanalytiques, mais s’interroge sur les effets du « rapport à l’inconscient » de cette dernière – tel qu’il est repérable dans ses écrits – sur sa conception et sa pratique de la cure de l’enfant. L’auteur soutient l’hypothèse que, chez Hug-Hellmuth, la conception de l’infantile témoigne d’un malentendu métapsychologique et éthique fondamental qui eut des conséquences tragiques sur sa pratique, sa théorie ainsi que sur son existence. Au-delà ou plutôt via l’étude du cas singulier de pionnière de l’analyse de l’enfant, il s’agira donc de repérer, de manière actuelle, comment la position subjective d’un auteur se révèle décisive quant à la théorie et la pratique clinique mises en œuvre.

Published: September 2012

PURPOSE:
To evaluate corneal changes after corneal cross-linking (CXL) in progressive keratoconus with Scheimpflug imaging.

METHODS:
This prospective analysis included 40 eyes from 22 patients with progressive keratoconus. Corneal CXL was performed in 25 eyes (CXL group) and 15 fellow eyes served as controls (control group). Uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), thinnest corneal thickness (ThCT), posterior elevation, and Holladay equivalent keratometry values (K1, K2) were determined with Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) before and 1 year after CXL. Area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and multivariable general estimating equation models were used to determine the most sensitive parameters of corneal changes.

RESULTS:

Manifest sphere (−2.55±3.21 to −1.48±2.39 diopters [D],
P
=.02), UDVA (0.23±0.25 to 0.31±0.25,
P
<.001), and CDVA (0.58±0.28 to 0.72±0.19,
P
=.019) improved significantly in the CXL group. Significant decreases were found in ThCT (472.53±33.18 to 440.53±38.67 μm,
P
<.001), posterior elevation (68.33±28.69 to 22.67±16.21,
P
<.001), and keratometry values (K1 [45.06±4.55 to 43.51±4.67 D,
P
<.001], K2 [48.39±5.41 to 46.71±5.67 D,
P
<.001]) in the CXL group. These parameters remained stable in controls (
P
>.05). According to ROC analysis, posterior elevation change was the most characteristic parameter of corneal change after CXL (area under the curve=0.99). General estimating equation model showed that CXL (
P
=.001) and initial ThCT (
P
=.007) were significant predictors of decrease in posterior elevation with a significant negative interaction of initial ThCT on CXL effect (
P
=.005).

CONCLUSIONS:
Posterior elevation is a sensitive parameter to monitor corneal remodeling after CXL. Corneal CXL showed augmented effect on corneal protrusion in eyes with thinner corneas.

The Linkage between Active Learning Method and Industrial Work Experience among Vocational Technology Undergraduate Students in Rivers State of Nigeria
Authors: Wodi S.W. 
Published: September 2012

In an ever-changing and increasingly competitive environment, educational institutions are continually looking at methods to improve their teaching and attract students to their courses. Students likewise are becoming more selective when choosing an institution in which to study and are more focused on the longer-term employability offered by various courses. This paper looks at this changing environment from both the industry and education perspectives, and examines one exercise, an information feedback method, which is attempting to link education closer to the world of work, by providing students with the rele­vant transferable skills. The empirical research conducted among the students on completion of their industrial work experience gave very positive results, with students feeling that their interpersonal skills had been greatly enhanced and that creative teaching methods such as these provided them with a competitive advantage when enter­ing the job market. In addition to satisfying students' requirements, the research results also show that exercises of this type more fully meet the needs of the concept of deep learning', where students are given a more participatory part in their educational process. We conclude that future educational curricula should include an increasing number of activity based method by providing a better balance between the theoretical and practical elements of education and industry Keywords: Quality Feedback, Activity method, Acquisitive skills, Creative teaching
Redox-responsive probes for selective chelation of bivalent cations
Authors: Raouafi Noureddine , Bahri Janet , Sahli Rihab , Boujlel Khaled 
Published: September 2012

Abstract
N,N-disubstituted bis(furanyl-2-methyl)aminoanilines are new electrochemically-active probes for cations relying on the phenylenediamine moiety as an electroactive transducer and the difuranylamino group as an ionophore site. The electrochemical investigations, by means of cyclic and Osteryoung square wave voltammetries (CV and SWV, respectively), showed that these compounds are able to bind Mg2+, Ca2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ cations with strong affinities. The addition of catalytic amounts of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) was found necessary to achieve rapid cation complexation. The electroactive redox features of the probes were drastically modified when the ionophore site was bonded to the cations. The anodic potential shifts of the oxidation peaks were between 905 and 1030 mV depending on the cations. The electrochemical investigations suggested the formation of a 1:2 stoichiometric complex: [M(L)
2]2+, M=Mg, Ca, Ni and Zn. These probes were found to be selective of Ca2+ and chelates, with strong preference for Ca2+ even in presence of others cations (Ca2+> Mg2+, Ca2+> Ni2+ and Ni2+> Zn2+). UV-visible spectrophotometric studies also showed blue shifts of the absorption bands comprising between 5 and 29 nm ligands when the metal ions were added to the solution, which confirmed the complexes formation.
Overview of Animal Models of Obesity
Authors: Lutz Thomas A. , Woods Stephen C. 
Published: September 2012

AbstractThe focus of this overview is on the animal models of obesity most commonly utilized in research. The models include monogenic models in the leptin pathway, polygenic diet‐dependent models, and, in particular for their historical perspective, surgical and chemical models of obesity. However, there are far too many models to consider all of them comprehensively, especially those caused by selective molecular genetic approaches modifying one or more genes in specific populations of cells. Further, the generation and use of inducible transgenic animals (induced knock‐out or knock‐in) is not covered, even though they often carry significant advantages compared to traditional transgenic animals, e.g., influences of the genetic modification during the development of the animals can be minimized. The number of these animal models is simply too large to be covered in this unit. Curr. Protoc. Pharmacol. 58:5.61.1‐5.61.18. © 2012 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
