Published: June 2015

• Premise of the study: Wild edible plants (WEPs) have an important cultural and economic role in human population worldwide. Human impacts are quickly converting natural habitats in agricultural, cattle ranch, and urbanized lands, putting native species on peril of risk of extinction, including some WEPs. Moreover, global climate changes also can pose another threat to species persistency. Here, we established conservation priorities for the Cerrado, a neotropical region in South America with high levels of plant endemism and vulnerability, aiming to assure long‐term persistency of 16 most important WEPs. We evaluated these conservation priorities using a conservation biogeography framework using ecological patterns and process at a biogeographical scale to deal with species conservation features.• Methods: We built ecological niche models for 16 WEPs from Cerrado in the neotropics using climate models for preindustrial, past (Last Glacial Maximum) and future (year 2080) time periods to establish climatically stable areas through time, finding refugias for these WEPs. We used a spatial prioritization algorithm based on the spatial pattern of irreplaceability across the neotropics, aiming to ensure the persistence of at least 25% of range size in climatically stable areas for each WEP, using agricultural models as constraints.• Key results: The Southeast Cerrado was the most biotically stable and irreplaceable region for the WEPs compared with other areas across the neotropics.• Conclusions: Our findings strongly suggest that the Southeast Cerrado should be considered a conservation priority, with new protected areas to be sustainably managed and restored, to guarantee the supply of cultural and ecosystem services provided from the Cerrado's WEPs.
Le symbolisme dans l’Épître aux Hébreux. Images et métaphores
Authors: Bénétreau Samuel 
Published: June 2015

L’auteur de l’Épître aux Hébreux est considéré comme un rhétoricien expert. On a fait de longues listes des procédés rhétoriques utilisés. Dès l’Antiquité, les rhétoriciens ont fait une place à l’ornementation, et on s’est interrogé : les figures de style servent-elles seulement à embellir le discours, à gagner les faveurs du public par le « bien dire », ou contribuent-elles à la performance, entrent-elles dans le processus de persuasion ? Laissant de côté l’ample utilisation des figures tirées du pèlerinage et du culte d’Israël, Samuel Bénétreau * propose une étude sur les images et les métaphores empruntées à la vie ordinaire et à ce qui l’entoure. Sans être très nombreuses, elles ne sont pas absentes, et la question se pose toujours d’évaluer leur place et leur rôle respectifs.
Naît-on encore ? Réflexions sur la production médicale de l’accouchement
Authors: St-Amant Stéphanie 
Published: June 2015

Depuis l’Antiquité, on se livre à des calculs pour estimer la durée de la grossesse. Au fil du temps, la notion de terme gestationnel a changé de sens, passant de l’idée d’intervalle pendant lequel la naissance survient, spontanément (lorsque le « fruit est mûr »), à un concept normatif postulant une « durée optimale de grossesse » de plus en plus serrée et assorti d’une « date prévue d’accouchement ». Le passage d’une appréhension naturaliste à une construction logicomathématique du terme gestationnel, conjugué à la découverte de moyens de « produire la naissance » à la demande, a entraîné la pratique sans cesse en augmentation – dans le monde « médicalement occidentalisé » – du déclenchement artificiel de l’accouchement et de la césarienne programmée. L’article propose un examen critique de la rationalité sur laquelle s’appuie cette programmation et en présente les implications insuffisamment appréciées.
De la conjugalité à la parentalité. Quels modèles guident l’intervention des espaces de rencontre ?
Authors: Bastard Benoit 
Published: June 2015

Ce texte revient sur les résultats d’une réflexion menée il y a vingt ans sur les espaces de rencontre, les lieux d’accueil pour l’exercice du droit de visite, alors en pleine émergence. Les espaces de rencontre constituent un laboratoire des questions familiales. À l’époque, on pouvait y observer l’opposition entre deux styles de pratique : certains lieux, adossés à la médiation familiale, considéraient que le travail sur la relation de couple constituait un préalable permettant la poursuite d’une relation parentale dans l’intérêt de l’enfant ; d’autres structures, considérant au contraire qu’une telle perspective sous-estime l’antagonisme des parents, préconisaient d’organiser des relations séparées de l’enfant avec chacun de ses parents, sans référence au « couple parental ». Avec le temps, cette opposition s’est estompée. L’évolution du contexte socio-légal a consacré la notion de coparentalité qui inclut l’idée d’une obligation pour les parents de s’entendre dans l’intérêt de leurs enfants après la séparation conjugale. La place prise par ce modèle particulier de gestion des ruptures fait sentir ses effets dans les espaces de rencontre. À la faveur d’une recherche récente, on a pu constater que leurs pratiques sont devenues plus homogènes. Les intervenants se montrent plus généralement proactifs. Ils cherchent à obtenir une évolution des situations et s’appuient, pour ce faire, sur la recherche d’accord entre les parents, ce qui peut être résumé dans la notion de « contractualisation ». Cette évolution inscrit les espaces de rencontre dans l’évolution générale des pratiques de régulation sociale et atténue les clivages entre eux. Elle laisse néanmoins entière la question de savoir comment la pratique actuelle peut contribuer à combler l’écart existant entre les attentes incluses dans le modèle de la coparentalité et les capacités des parents en grande difficulté qui sont accueillis dans les espaces de rencontre.
Compartment Syndrome in Patients with Massive Venous Thrombosis After Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement

Published: June 2015

Massive venous thrombosis, which can occur acutely after inferior vena cava filter placement, has 2 forms: phlegmasia cerulea dolens and phlegmasia alba dolens. In phlegmasia cerulea dolens, complete occlusion of venous outflow occurs. In the milder phlegmasia alba dolens version, collateral venous flow out of the limb remains despite the venous thrombosis. This article presents, to our knowledge, the first 2 cases of massive venous thrombosis (1 phlegmasia cerulea dolens, 1 phlegmasia alba dolens) below inferior vena cava filters occurring after the acute period.
Phlegmasia cerulea dolens and phlegmasia alba dolens can present as compartment syndrome. Prompt fasciotomies were performed, but the underlying massive venous thrombosis was not addressed surgically. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens and phlegmasia alba dolens have high morbidity and mortality. The patient with phlegmasia alba dolens required leg and thigh fasciotomies and eventually required an above-knee amputation. The patient with phlegmasia cerulea dolens developed compartment syndrome in the left leg, right leg, and right thigh. Although he underwent decompression of all of these compartments, he died from multiple organ failure.
A multidisciplinary approach with the vascular service and the intensivists is required in the treatment of patients with massive venous thrombosis. Treatment goals include preventing additional propagation of the thrombus via anticoagulation, with strong consideration for catheter-directed thrombolysis or thrombectomy and fasciotomies for compartment syndrome. The orthopedic surgeon should keep phlegmasia cerulea dolens and phlegmasia alba dolens in the differential for compartment syndrome, especially in patients who have had a history of acute or chronic inferior vena cava filter placement.

Observation and immobilization is adequate for most patients with spinal eosinophilic granuloma; however, in patients with symptomatic lesions, treatment other than simple observation or biopsy alone is recommended. In view of the benign clinical course of eosinophilic granuloma, a simple, minimally invasive, outpatient treatment with a low complication rate such as computed tomography (CT)-guided intralesional corticosteroid injection may be considered the treatment of choice. This article presents a case of a 21-year-old man with a symptomatic bifocal eosinophilic granuloma at the vertebral body of the L3 vertebra and the left T5 costovertebral joint treated effectively by CT-guided intralesional methylprednisolone injection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of successful treatment of a bifocal eosinophilic granuloma with CT-guided corticosteroid injection.
Under general anesthesia and CT guidance, the lesion was located through the right transpedicular approach for the L3 lesion and the left posterolateral approach for the T5 lesion using a biopsy trocar. Tissue sample was retrieved and frozen section biopsy showed eosinophilic granuloma. One intralesional CT-guided injection of 80 mg (2 mL) of methylprednisolone acetate was performed in each lesion. Complications related to the procedure were not observed. The patient was admitted postprocedural for overnight medical evaluation and was discharged from the hospital the next day. Complete resolution of pain was observed 72 hours after the procedure. At 5 years after diagnosis and treatment, the patient is asymptomatic; imaging showed healing of both lesions.
Correlating Optical Bench Performance With Clinical Defocus Curves in Varifocal and Trifocal Intraocular Lenses

Published: June 2015

PURPOSE:
To investigate the correlations existing between a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and a varifocal IOL using the “ex vivo” optical bench through-focus image quality analysis and the clinical visual performance in real patients by study of the defocus curves.

METHODS:
This prospective, consecutive, nonrandomized, comparative study included a total of 64 eyes of 42 patients. Three groups of eyes were differentiated according to the IOL implanted: 22 eyes implanted with the varifocal Lentis Mplus LS-313 IOL (Oculentis GmbH, Berlin, Germany); 22 eyes implanted with the trifocal FineVision IOL (Physiol, Liege, Belgium), and 20 eyes implanted with the monofocal Acrysof SA60AT IOL (Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). Visual outcomes and defocus curve were evaluated postoperatively. Optical bench through-focus performance was quantified by computing an image quality metric and the cross-correlation coefficient between an unaberrated reference image and captured retinal images from a model eye with a 3.0-mm artificial pupil.

RESULTS:

Statistically significant differences among defocus curves of different IOLs were detected for the levels of defocus from −4.00 to −1.00 diopters (D) (
P
< .01). Significant correlations were found between the optical bench image quality metric results and logMAR visual acuity scale in all groups (Lentis Mplus group:
r
= −0.97,
P
< .01; FineVision group:
r
= −0.82,
P
< .01; Acrysof group:
r
= −0.99,
P
< .01). Linear predicting models were obtained.

CONCLUSIONS:
Significant correlations were found between logMAR visual acuity and image quality metric for the multifocal and monofocal IOLs analyzed. This finding enables surgeons to predict visual outcomes from the optical bench analysis.

Tidal Marsh Susceptibility to Sea-Level Rise: Importance of Local-Scale Models
Authors: Thorne Karen M. , Buffington Kevin J. , Elliott-Fisk Deborah L. , Takekawa John Y. 
Published: June 2015

Abstract
Increasing concern over sea-level rise impacts to coastal tidal marsh ecosystems has led to modeling efforts to anticipate outcomes for resource management decision making. Few studies on the Pacific coast of North America have modeled sea-level rise marsh susceptibility at a scale relevant to local wildlife populations and plant communities. Here, we use a novel approach in developing an empirical sea-level rise ecological response model that can be applied to key management questions. Calculated elevation change over 13 y for a 324-ha portion of San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge, California, USA, was used to represent local accretion and subsidence processes. Next, we coupled detailed plant community and elevation surveys with measured rates of inundation frequency to model marsh state changes to 2100. By grouping plant communities into low, mid, and high marsh habitats, we were able to assess wildlife species vulnerability and to better understand outcomes for habitat resiliency. Starting study-site conditions were comprised of 78% (253-ha) high marsh, 7% (30-ha) mid marsh, and 4% (18-ha) low marsh habitats, dominated by pickleweed Sarcocornia pacifica and cordgrass Spartina spp. Only under the low sea-level rise scenario (44 cm by 2100) did our models show persistence of some marsh habitats to 2100, with the area dominated by low marsh habitats. Under mid (93 cm by 2100) and high sea-level rise scenarios (166 cm by 2100), most mid and high marsh habitat was lost by 2070, with only 15% (65 ha) remaining, and a complete loss of these habitats by 2080. Low marsh habitat increased temporarily under all three sea-level rise scenarios, with the peak (286 ha) in 2070, adding habitat for the endemic endangered California Ridgway’s rail Rallus obsoletus obsoletus. Under mid and high sea-level rise scenarios, an almost complete conversion to mudflat occurred, with most of the area below mean sea level. Our modeling assumed no marsh migration upslope due to human levee and infrastructure preventing these types of processes. Other modeling efforts done for this area have projected marsh persistence to 2100, but our modeling effort with site-specific datasets allowed us to model at a finer resolution with much higher local confidence, resulting in different results for management. Our results suggest that projected sea-level rise will have significant impacts on marsh plant communities and obligate wildlife, including those already under federal and state protection. Comprehensive modeling as done here improves the potential to implement adaptive management strategies and prevent marsh habitat and wildlife loss in the future.

Purpose The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a percutaneous closure system based on a polyglycolic acid plug for achieving hemostasis. Material and Methods In this study from 2011 to 2014, a percutaneous vascular closure system (ExoSeal) was used in 1000 patients (mean age 70.6 ± 10.2 years), using antegrade and retrograde techniques within the context of an angiographic intervention. The system was used in conjunction with transfemoral approaches with a sheath size of 6F. Post the intervention (on the following day and after 6 weeks), follow-up was conducted clinically and using color-coded duplex ultrasound. Results Immediate hemostasis was achieved in 939/1000 patients (93.9%). In the remaining 61 cases, a correct positioning of the polyglycolic acid plug was not possible because of malfunctioning of the device, massive vascular wall calcifications, postoperative scar tissue, or too steep a puncture angle. In these cases, manual compression was successful. There was one retroperitoneal bleeding requiring transfusion. Minor complications were observed (7.4% in total) with 10 pseudoaneurysm (1%), 63 inguinal hematomas (up to 3 cm; 6.3%), and 1 stenosis (0.1%). Conclusion Safe and effective hemostasis is possible with the percutaneous ExoSeal closure system at puncture sizes of 6F.

Capsule Clinical outcomes using INVOcell device with ICSI. Objective Intravaginal culture of oocytes (INVO) procedure is an intravaginal culture system that utilizes the INVOcell device in which the fertilization and embryo culture occur. In this procedure, the vaginal cavity serves as an incubator for oocyte fertilization and early embryonic development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of this intravaginal culture system in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). METHODS: A total of 24 cycles INVO-ICSI (study group) and 74 cycles of ICSI (control group) were included in the study. The cleaved oocytes at day 3/ total injected oocytes, embryo quality, pregnancy rate (PR), implantation rate (IR), and miscarriage rate (MR) were compared between both groups. Results At day 3, there was no difference in the cleaved oocyte rate (78.7 and 76.1%) and embryo quality (77 and 86.8%) for the study and control groups, respectively. In the study group, more embryos were significantly transferred compared to the control group (2.63 ± 0.58 versus 1.93 ± 0.25; P < 0.05). PRs, IRs, and MRs were similar for the study group compared with the control group (PR: 54.2% versus 58.1%; IR: 31.7% versus 33.6%; MR: 7.7% versus 20.9%). Conclusions Good PR and IR can be obtained using the INVOcell device, and the INVO-ICSI procedure can be considered as an alternative option to infertile patients.

Published: June 2015

During the incineration of nitrogen containing polymer wastes such as polyamides and polyurethanes, many nitrogen containing atmospheric pollutants are emitted. However, there is a lack of data on ammonia and nitrogen oxide or hydrogen cyanide formation during the high temperature thermal degradation of this kind of compounds. In order to determine the mechanisms of thermal decomposition of such materials, we studied the pyrolysis and the combustion of nylon-6,6 as a function of residence time and temperature. During pyrolysis, the temperature exhibits a significant influence on the hydrogen cyanide formation and has only little influence on the quantity of NH3 emitted. With an excess of oxygen, we didn't found any more these two species. Whatever the operating conditions, nearly 10% of the fuel-nitrogen is converted into NO and 90% into N2.
Lors de l'incinération de déchets plastiques azotés tels que les polyamides ou les polyuréthannes, de nombreux polluants atmosphériques azotés sont émis. Or, il n'existe pas dans la littérature de données traitant de la formation d'oxydes d'azote, d'ammoniac ou d'acide cyanhydrique lors de la dégradation thermique à haute température de ce type de déchets. Dans le but de déterminer les mécanismes de décomposition thermique de tels matériaux, nous avons étudié la pyrolyse et la combustion du nylon-6,6 en fonction du temps de séjour des gaz dans la zone réactionnelle et de la température. Lors de la pyrolyse, la température joue un rôle très important sur la formation d'acide cyanhydrique et n'a que peu d'influence sur la quantité de NH3 émis. En excès d'oxygène, nous ne retrouvons ni l'ammoniac, ni l'acide cyanhydrique. Quelles que soient les conditions opératoires, 10 % environ de l'azote du combustible se retrouve sous la forme de NO et 90 % sous forme de N2.

The sanitary impact of a scenario (already existing or to be set up) on the disposal or the reuse of stabilized wastes, can be studied by implementing a risk assessment method.After presenting the fundamental steps, this method is applied to a real situation that is inert wastes disposal centres.Lead is considered as the tracer and children under 2, who may drink water from sheets located downstream the site, are considered as the target population.The study results are consistent with the proposals of the working group on class III. This group was created by the French Ministry of Environment to set up new inert wastes disposal centres.
Une des voies d'étude de l'impact sanitaire d'un scénario (existant ou à concevoir) de dépôt ou de valorisation des déchets stabilisés est la mise en œuvre d'une méthode d'évaluation des risques.Après une présentation de ses étapes fondamentales, cette méthodologie est appliquée à un cas concret : les centres de stockage de déchets inertes.Le polluant traceur et la population cible considérés sont respectivement le plomb et les enfants de moins de 2 ans qui pourraient consommer l'eau de nappe située en aval du site.Les résultats de l'étude confortent les options prises par le groupe de travail réuni par le ministère de l'Environnement pour la conception des nouveaux centres de stockage des déchets inertes.

The new landfill Directive integrating the potential delisting of hazardous wastes based on their “stable and non-reactive” behaviour, the ENV 12920 European pre-standard proposing a methodological framme to access the predictive behaviour of wastes/materials within disposal and utilisation scenarios, the industrial application of the ecocompatibility concept and the human health stakes consideration are the most outstanding elements of a true ongoing revolution in the definition of wastes/materials management. STAB&ENV'99 was a first event to reflect this mutation. Let's get ready to confirm it in 2002!
