Development of integrated marine monitoring network on southern coastline of Caspian sea
Authors: Najafi-Jilani A. , Nik-Khah A. 
Published: May 2015

ABSTRACTMonitoring of water surfaces through permanent measurement of hydrodynamic and meteorological data is one of the main requirements in safe and sustainable water management. The Caspian Sea, the major surface water body in Iran, significantly affects more than 600 km of urban and industrial coastline. In the present work, an integrated marine monitoring network for the entire southern coastline of the Caspian Sea was developed. The main design concerns centered on the network measuring components and data recording, checking, filtering, gap recognition, and transferring systems. Four coastal monitoring stations were assigned, along with two regional collecting stations and one central data station for gathering, checking and delivering recorded data at different access levels. Applicable guidelines on selection of measuring devices for both shallow and deep water zones are presented herein.

¿Por qué no nos sentamos simplemente frente a la pantalla?
Authors: De León Yong Tania 
Published: May 2015

<p>En este artículo, la doctora Tania De León Yong analiza las características de la animación limitada frente a la animación completa, y las de la animación experimental frente a la animación ortodoxa: esto es, qué cualidades tiene la imagen animada y cuántos fotogramas por segundo se utilizan. De la misma forma se comparan los distintos propósitos que pueden tener los filmes. Sin pretender ser un marco de referencia inflexible, la clasificación de la animación es importante porque nos permite reflexionar, identificar, agrupar y analizar animaciones ajenas y personales; estas actividades son un terreno fértil para la producción creativa dentro de la disciplina.</p>
Sympathetic Sentiments
Authors: Jervis John 
Published: May 2015

Sympathetic Sentiments develops an innovative interdisciplinary framework to explore the implications of living in a ‘culture of feeling’ that seems ill at ease with itself, one in which ‘sentiments’ are frequently denounced for being ‘sentimental’ and self-indulgent.
This is traced back to the inheritance of the eighteenth century, enabling us to identify a distinctive ‘spectacle of sympathy’ in which sympathy seems inherently to entail public forms of expression whereby being ‘on show’ is both a condition of the authenticity of such affects and of their capacity to be masked and simulated – hence stimulating controversy, but also the exploration of the vicarious dimensions of modern experience so central to modern literature, art and culture. The implications of all this are further explored in the context of current debates over the display of trauma as the language of sympathetic engagement, and the alleged prevalence of ‘compassion fatigue’ in the era of media sensationalism.
Overall, the book uncovers the patterns that both reproduce our capacity for ‘sympathetic sentiments’ while revealing the inherent underlying tensions.

Published: May 2015

Purpose To compare variations in surface morphology, as studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), of explanted intraocular lenses (IOLs) concerning the cause leading to the explantation surgery. Methods In this prospective multicenter study, explanted IOLs were analyzed by SEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The IOLs were explanted in the centers of the research group from 2006 to 2012. The primary procedure was phacoemulsification in all cases. Results The study evaluated 40 IOLs. The main causes for explantation were IOL dislocation, refractive error, and IOL opacification. Those explanted due to dislocation demonstrated calcifications in 8 lenses (50%), salt precipitates in 6 cases (37.5%), and erythrocytes and fibrosis/fibroblasts in 2 cases (12.5%). In the refractive error cases, the SEM showed proteins in 5 cases (45.5%) and salt precipitates in 4 lenses (36.4%). In IOL opacification, the findings were calcifications in 2 of the 3 lenses (66.6%) and proteins in 2 lenses (66.6%). Conclusions A marked variation in surface changes was observed by SEM. Findings did not correlate with cause for explantation. Scanning electron microscopy is a useful tool that provides exclusive information regarding the IOL biotolerance and its interactions with surrounding tissues.

Published: May 2015

Purpose To report a case of Purtscher retinopathy and its therapeutic approach. Methods In this observational case report, complete ophthalmologic examination was performed, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, dilated fundus examination, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), and Humphrey 24–2 visual field testing. Results The patient complained of right eye diminished visual acuity 48 hours after a car accident, with severe thoracic and abdominal blunt trauma but no direct ocular trauma. The BCVA was counting fingers at 1 meter, anterior segment examination was unremarkable, and the fundus showed cotton-wool spots and Purtscher flecken. Macular OCT revealed subretinal fluid with neurosensorial retinal detachment. The FA showed peripapillary and parafoveal leakage and visual field testing presented a central scotoma. We opted for an observation-only approach. Follow-up revealed a progressive reabsorption of the subretinal fluid with complete resolution of the macular neurosensorial retinal detachment after 2 weeks. After 2 months of follow-up, BCVA was 20/25 and the OCT revealed atrophic changes, with no subretinal fluid. The favorable outcome in terms of BCVA persisted at 4 and 6 months follow-up, although the central scotoma did not improve significantly. Conclusions The characterization of both acute and late-stage lesions provides a valuable insight to a better characterization of this rare disease. Despite a favorable response with a conservative therapeutic approach, structural and functional late stage sequelae influence the final visual outcome.

Published: May 2015

Purpose To report on Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease that occurred after stapedotomy. Methods Case report. Results A 46-year-old woman developed bilateral choroiditis, papillitis, and serous retinal detachment 10 days after an uneventful surgical stapedotomy. The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of the clinical features, fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography findings, and a clinical course with subsequent involvement of the anterior segment, uveitis relapses with serous retinal detachment, and negative laboratory work-up for uveitis. Conclusions Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease may appear after an uneventful surgical intervention of stapedotomy, suggesting that surgical trauma in the inner ear, a melanocyte-containing organ, may induce an inflammatory response within the eye.

Purpose Cross-characterization of retinal astrocytomas (RA) using ocular diagnostic imaging techniques. Methods Fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, fundus autofluorescence images, and ultrasonography were used to define characteristics of RA. Results Thirteen patients had sporadic RA and 12 had tuberous sclerosis. Of the latter, 1 patient had multiple (n = 14), bilateral tumors and was excluded so as not to skew the analysis. Of those patients with a solitary RA, 63% were juxtapapillary. All were white to yellow. A mulberry-shaped surface was observed in 33%. Fluorescein angiography revealed intrinsic tumor vessels and late diffuse tumor staining in 42%. Optical coherence tomography revealed cells spreading from the tumor surface into the vitreous (75%), intraretinal fluid (25%), and multiple, ovoid hypolucencies within the tumor stroma (54%). Fundus autofluorescent imaging revealed that hypolucencies were hyperautofluorescent and solid tumor stroma appeared hypoautofluorescent. B-scan imaging revealed moderate to high internal tumor reflectivity (100%) with orbital shadowing (46%). Optical coherence tomography revealed a mean tumor thickness of 0.8 mm. Ultrasound imaging showed a mean thickness of 1.4 mm (range 1.0–1.7). Of the 21 patients subsequently followed in our centers, no tumor growth was noted (mean 54 months, range 1–96). Conclusions This study reveals unique characteristics of RA and suggests that RA were most commonly amelanotic, moderate to high echoic, ≤1.7 mm in thickness, near the optic disc, and nonprogressive. When observed, a mulberry-shaped surface was pathognomonic.

Purpose Treatment of the chondral lesions of the hip joint is problematic due to its deep anatomy and complex biomechanical demands. The purpose of the study is to present the long-term result of a deep, large femoral head cartilage defect treated successfully with surgical safe dislocation of the hip and autologous osteochondral grafting. Methods A 27-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with left hip pain. On assessment, a large femoral head osteochondral defect was detected in his left hip. An open safe hip dislocation and autologous osteochondral grafting was performed due to the large size of the lesion and subchondral bone involvement. Results Using a Kocher-Langenbeck incision, the hip was dislocated after a trochanteric flip osteotomy. The defect was reconstructed with 3 × 13 mm and 1 × 11 mm osteochondral plug from the ipsilateral knee. We have not encountered any complication at the postoperative period. After 8 years follow-up his left hip range of motion was preserved and The Harris Hip Score was qualified as excellent with 96 points. Conclusions Chondral defects of the femoral head are still a challenging problem in orthopaedic practice. Mosaicplasty of the femoral head is a demanding procedure with safe dislocation of the hip. However, if successful it can provide satisfactory functional and radiological results in the long-term.

Published: May 2015

Purpose There have been few observations on the concurrence of tuberculosis (TB) and primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS). We try to define their relationship from multiple aspects. Methods Patients with PNS (n = 386), secondary nephrotic syndrome (SNS, n = 60), pneumonia (n = 196), and TB (n = 156) were enrolled. Through a novel evaluation system, the evidence of TB infection (clinical, laboratory, and radiographic evidence) was classified into 5 levels: lack of evidence (level 0), mild-to-moderate evidence (level 1–2), strong evidence (level 3–4). Additionally, whether TB infection was primary or secondary to long-term steroid therapy for PNS was recorded. Results Through the evaluation system, 42.24% (68/161) of PNS inpatients had evidence of TB level 1–4, more than those in SNS (23.33%, P = .788) or pneumonia (22.45%, P = .004); 9.32% (15/161) PNS inpatients had evidence of level 3–4, who should be considered as having TB; 13 of the 15 patients had TB before the onset of PNS; 61.75%(96/153) PNS inpatients were abnormal on chest imaging. In the TB group, 28.21% (44/156) patients had abnormal urinalysis, more than those in the pneumonia group (8.16%, 16/196, P<0.001). TB-related symptoms were seldom seen in PNS inpatients (cough 26.1%, fever 6.8%; night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss were negative). Conclusions Around 10% of PNS in children has an association with TB infection that preceded the onset of PNS.

Published: May 2015

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate variables that may affect sonographic cannulation of great saphenous vein and determine the ideal location for ultrasound-guided saphenous vein cannulation in adult emergency department (ED) patients. Methods A prospective observational study at an academic ED. The great saphenous vein was identified in adult subjects at three distinct sites after placing the tourniquet proximal to the vein: the ankle, mid-calf, and below the knee using a 10-5 MHz linear transducer. The depth of the saphenous vein from the skin surface and its diameter were measured in supine and reverse trendelenburg positions in both extremities. Results A total of 60 subjects (male 30, female 30) were enrolled in the study. The median age of the patients was 50.5 years [interquartile range (IQR) 34.5-67.5]. The median body mass index (BMI) was 27.3 (IQR, 24.2-31.8). The great saphenous vein was significantly superficial in location at the ankle level compared with the calf (p<0.001), knee (p<0.001), and left side compared with the right (p<0.001). The subject position was not significantly related to saphenous vein depth (p = 0.68). The saphenous vein diameter was significantly larger in the left lower extremity than the right side (p = 0.007), and at the ankle level compared with the calf (p<0.001) and knee (p<0.001). The diameter of the vein increased significantly when patient's position changed from supine to reverse Trendelenburg (p<0.001). Conclusions Our results support ultrasound evaluation of the course of great saphenous vein from the ankle to the knee for the selection of appropriate venipuncture site and cannulation.
Peroperative Electrocardiographic Control of Catheter Tip Position during Implantation of Femoral Venous Ports
Authors: Gibault Pierre , Desruennes Eric , Bourgain Jean-Louis 
Published: May 2015

Purpose Electrocardiographic (ECG) guidance has been shown to be as effective than fluoroscopy to position the tip of central venous devices close to the superior vena cava (SVC)–right atrium (RA) junction. When SVC access is contraindicated, a femoral access may be used. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ECG guidance to position the tip of femoral ports at inferior vena cava (IVC)–RA junction. Methods Inclusion criterion was the need for femoral port implantation. After insertion of the dilator in the femoral vein, the catheter with the guide wire inside was introduced and the ECG signal collected at the tip of the guide (Celsite™ ECG, B. Braun, Germany) or via saline injected in the catheter (Nautilus™, Perouse, France). Fluoroscopy was performed at each change of the P-wave from IVC to RA. A final X-ray was performed after withdrawing the catheter 2 cm below the first P-wave change. Results A total of 18 patients were included between December 2011 and June 2013. The P-wave was most often negative in IVC, biphasic when the catheter entered RA and giant and positive at the top of RA. When the catheter was withdraw 2 cm below the first biphasic P-wave the tip was just below the IVC–RA junction in 17 patients. In one patient P-wave changes were not significant and the final position was adjusted under fluoroscopy. Conclusions ECG guidance is effective to assess catheter tip position during femoral port placement and avoids the need for radiological methods.

Published: May 2015

Purpose To evaluate the risk factors for central vein stenosis after placement of the totally implantable venous access ports (TIVPs) and the clinical relevance of this condition in breast cancer patients. Materials and methods TIVPs were placed in 191 women with breast cancer via the internal jugular vein (IJV) from January 2009 to December 2012 (mean age, 51.42 years) by left-side ( n = 102) and right-side ( n = 89) approaches. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed. The presence of significant central vein stenosis, tip location of the catheter and retrosternal space were evaluated on chest computed tomography images. Statistical analysis was performed. Results Central vein stenosis developed in 1 and 14 patients after placement via the right and left IJV, respectively. Differences in the cumulative incidence of central vein stenosis were statistically significant between left- and right-side approach groups (log rank test p-value: 0.009). In Cox regression analysis, the hazard ratio for central vein stenosis was 9.441 (p = 0.031) in the left-side approach. The distance between the sternum and the left innominate vein was found to be significantly and independently related to the development of central vein stenosis (p = 0.026). The hazard ratio of distances between the sternum and left innominate vein <16 mm was 10.133 (1.319-77.841). Conclusions The incidence of central vein stenosis in breast cancer patients was higher after placement of TIVPs via the left IJV. When left-side TIVP placement is required in a patient with right-side breast cancer, the possibilities of left innominate vein stenosis should be considered.
The Stuck Catheter: A Hazardous Twist to the Meaning of Permanent Catheters
Authors: Vellanki Venkat Sainaresh , Watson Diane , Rajan Dheeraj K. , Bhola Cynthia B. , Lok Charmaine E. 
Published: May 2015

Introduction Permanent central venous catheter use is associated with significant complications that often require their timely removal. An uncommon complication is resistant removal of the catheter due to adherence of the catheter to the vessel wall. This occasionally mandates invasive interventions for removal. The aim of this study is to describe the occurrence of this “stuck catheter” phenomenon and its consequences. Methods A retrospective review of all the removed tunneled hemodialysis catheters from July 2005 to December 2014 at a single academic-based hemodialysis center to determine the incidence of stuck catheters. Data were retrieved from a prospectively maintained computerized vascular access database and verified manually against patient charts. Results In our retrospective review of tunneled hemodialysis catheters spanning close to a decade, we found that 19 (0.92%) of catheters were retained, requiring endovascular intervention or open sternotomy. Of these, three could not be removed, with one patient succumbing to catheter-related infection. Longer catheter vintage appeared to be associated with ‘stuck catheter’. Conclusions Retention of tunneled central venous catheters is a rare but important complication of prolonged tunneled catheter use that nephrologists should be aware of. Endoluminal balloon dilatation procedures are the initial approach, but surgical intervention may be necessary.
