Preoperative factors associated with postoperative hypocalcemia in dogs with primary hyperparathyroidism that underwent parathyroidectomy: 62 cases (2004–2009)
Authors: Milovancev Milan , Schmiedt Chad W. 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
Objective—To identify preoperative variables associated with postoperative hypocalcemia in dogs with primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroidectomy.
Design—Retrospective case series.
Animals—62 dogs.
Procedures—Medical records of dogs undergoing parathyroidectomy for treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism between January 2004 and January 2009 at 4 institutions were reviewed; data regarding various preoperative variables and postoperative serum total and ionized calcium concentrations were recorded. Preoperative ultrasonographic and surgical findings were compared regarding laterality (right, left, or bilateral) of parathyroid gland lesions. Data were analyzed via ANOVA, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression to identify associations between preoperative variables and postoperative serum total and ionized calcium nadir concentrations.
Results—Preoperative variables significantly associated with low postoperative serum total calcium nadir concentrations included old age, history of weakness, lack of gastrointestinal tract signs, high serum parathyroid hormone concentration, and low serum calcium-phosphorus concentration product value. Preoperative variables significantly associated with low postoperative serum ionized calcium nadir concentrations included sexually intact status, low body weight, high serum urea nitrogen concentration, and lack of polyuria and polydipsia in the history. Age, body weight, serum calcium-phosphorus concentration product, and serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone and urea nitrogen were included in the final multiple linear regression model for prediction of postoperative serum calcium concentrations. Ultrasonography was performed in 58 dogs; results for 44 (75.9%) dogs agreed with surgical findings regarding laterality of parathyroid gland lesions.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Prediction of postoperative hypocalcemia in dogs in this study with primary hyperparathyroidism that underwent parathyroidectomy was difficult and depended on multiple (history, physical examination, and clinicopathologic) factors.
Diagnosis and treatment of an insulinoma in a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus)
Authors: Hess Laurie R. , Ravich Michelle L. , Reavill Drury R. 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
Case Description—A 5-year-old male guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was examined because of lethargy, weight loss, and episodic neurologic signs, including paddling in lateral recumbency, head tilt, and circling. Prior to initial examination, the animal was treated with corn syrup whenever it appeared lethargic, plus an unknown dosage of sulfadimethoxazole.
Clinical Findings—The animal was thin, with abdominal distention and subtle torticollis. Chemistry panel results documented hypoglycemia (45 mg/dL). Corn syrup was discontinued in favor of a high-fiber formula fed via a syringe. Measurement of blood insulin concentration demonstrated hyperinsulinemia (> 1,440 pmol/L [> 201 μU/L]), with concurrent hypoglycemia (0.6 mmol/L [11 mg/dL]).
Treatment and Outcome—Diazoxide treatment for presumptive insulinoma was started at a dosage of 5 mg/kg (2.3 mg/lb), PO, every 12 hours. A blood glucose curve demonstrated persistent hypoglycemia, and the diazoxide dosage was gradually increased to 25 mg/kg (11.4 mg/lb), PO, every 12 hours. A second glucose curve measurement 12 days later confirmed adequate euglycemic control. Three weeks after the initial diazoxide dosage increase, the animal was reexamined for constipation and abdominal distension and died the following day. Histologic analysis confirmed a pancreatic beta-cell tumor (insulinoma).
Clinical Relevance—To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of premortem diagnosis and treatment of an insulinoma in a guinea pig. This case demonstrates that diazoxide treatment can help achieve euglycemia in hypoglycemic guinea pigs and is a potential treatment option for guinea pigs with insulinoma.

Abstract
Objective—To assess pregnancy and live foaling rates after reduction of twin pregnancy via transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration (TUA) in mares and evaluate effects of gestational period, localization of conceptuses, fluid aspiration volume, and combination of TUA with embryonic or fetal puncture on these outcomes.
Design—Clinical trial.
Animals—44 mares pregnant with twins (25 to 62 days of gestation).
Procedures—TUA was performed in all mares and combined with embryonic or fetal puncture in 13. Follow-up ultrasonographic examinations were performed by referring veterinarians. Effects of gestational period and TUA-related variables on pregnancy and foaling rates were assessed.
Results—Singleton pregnancy (32/44 [73%]), persistent twin pregnancy (3/44 [7%]), or loss of both conceptuses (9/44 [20%]) was confirmed 5 to 7 days after TUA. Two mares with persistent twin pregnancy underwent another TUA, and 1 underwent prostaglandin F2α–induced abortion; these were excluded from subsequent analyses. Eighteen of 24 mares reevaluated 3 to 4 weeks after TUA were pregnant with 1 conceptus. Twenty of 41 (49%) mares delivered live singleton foals. Gestational period of TUA did not affect early pregnancy rates. Foaling rate for mares that underwent TUA after day 42 (0/5) was lowest of all groups and was significantly lower than that of mares that underwent TUA between days 31 and 35 (9/14). Three of 13 mares that underwent TUA with embryonic or fetal puncture delivered live foals, compared with 17 of 28 that underwent TUA alone. Effects of other variables were nonsignificant.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—TUA was effective for reduction of twin pregnancy in mares, with best results achieved before gestational day 43.

Published: January 2013

AbstractConducting poly(o-anisidine) coatings were obtained on low carbon steel in aqueous oxalic acid solution by using the galvanostatic technique. The coatings were characterised by potential-time relations, UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements. The electrochemical performance of coated steel electrodes was evaluated on the basis of galvanostatic charge-discharge performance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 0.5 M H2SO4. Maximum charging current was found in the case of the coating obtained at a current density of 8 mA cm−2 for 600 s duration at the supply voltage of 0.5 V. The estimated capacitance of the coated steel electrode for charging is 42.67 mF and 7.2 mF for discharging. It was also found that there was an increase in capacitance as a function of supply voltage and the maximum value was obtained at 0.5 V. The study reveals the possibility of using conducting poly(o-anisidine)-coated low carbon steel from oxalic acid medium as supercapacitor electrode materials.
Anaerobic treatment of rapeseed meal
Authors: Kolesárová Nina , Hutňan Miroslav , Špalková Viera , Lazor Michal 
Published: January 2013

AbstractRapeseed meal is a solid by-product obtained from rapeseed after oil extraction. This contribution summarises experiences from batch experiments as well as the long-term processing of this substrate in a laboratory stirred anaerobic reactor (continuous stirred-tank reactor). On the basis of the batch tests of hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and methanogenic activity, it was concluded that the anaerobic degradation of rapeseed meal can be performed using a one-step system and it is not necessary to include a hydrolytic-acidogenic step prior to the methanogenic step. Although the methanogenic potential of rapeseed meal appears to be very promising, the long-term processing as a single substrate led to serious problems arising from the inhibitory effects. It was, therefore, co-fermented with crude glycerol from biodiesel production. From the long-term operation of the laboratory model, it may be stated that, due to the co-fermentation of by-products from biodiesel production, the individual inhibition effects can be suppressed to a large extent and biogas production can be stabilised. The maximum organic loading rate in the continuous stirred reactor achieved 2.42 kg m−3 d−1 of volatile solids (15 g of rapeseed meal and 20 mL of gas-phase), which was 3.13 kg m−3 d−1 of chemical oxygen demand.
Ice-core evidence of westerly and monsoon moisture contributions in the central Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Joswiak Daniel R. , Yao Tandong , Wu Guangjian , Tian Lide , Xu Baiqing 
Published: January 2013

AbstractStable isotopes are a primary tool for inferring past temperature changes and atmospheric moisture variability from ice cores. A 33 m ice core representing the period 1850–2004 was retrieved from the Tanggula Mountains, central Tibetan Plateau (5743 m a.s.l.), in August 2005. Annual average stable isotope (δ18O, δD) values generally increase during the period, while the second-order parameter of deuterium excess (d-excess) generally decreases. High annual average d-excess values (18.2‰) throughout the ice core suggest a significant contribution of continental recycled moisture. d-excess values shift from relatively higher values during 1850–1940 to lower values since the 1940s. Annual isotope values and reconstructed accumulation are compared with climate indices, local station temperature records and northern India monsoon precipitation. Significant correlation is observed between δ18O and the Southern Oscillation, NINO3.4 and Dipole Mode indices. Annual average d-excess values revealed a significant negative correlation with the Dipole Mode index. Results suggest a relatively greater contribution of westerly-dominated continental moisture prior to the 1940s and an increase in the contribution of moisture evaporated under more humid conditions since the 1940s.

Œdipe(s) et meurtre(s) en procès, une issue à la psychose
Authors: Milleur Yannick 
Published: January 2013

Résumé L’auteur met en regard la notion de préconception de l’Œdipe avec celle de fonctionnement psychotique . Il aborde la question sous l’angle de la dynamique pulsionnelle œdipienne de l’inceste et du meurtre à l’œuvre dans la psychose, et de ses destins possibles et leur articulation : sa réalisation pure vers la satisfaction, ou sa reprise en après-coup comme organisateur psychique. Le processus de meurtre fonde la dynamique de passage de l’une à l’autre. En appui sur la clinique de la psychose décompensée à l’âge adulte , seront mis en exergue les moments cliniques ouvrant sur ces possibles mutations processuelles fondatrices.
Dynamique œdipienne et espace transférentiel : le psychanalyste attracteur substituable
Authors: Lavallée Guy 
Published: January 2013

Résumé La dynamique œdipienne se double d’un espace œdipien, permettant des déplacements perceptibles dans le transfert : c’est le règne de l’Œdipe comme attracteur (M. Ody). En dehors de la névrose, quand l’espace œdipien se réduit comme une peau de chagrin, il incombe à l’analyste d’ouvrir l’espace transférentiel et de le dynamiser. Pour ce faire, l’auteur propose de concevoir le travail de l’analyste comme celui d’un attracteur transférentiel substituable à tous les objets du patient.
Œdipe(s) au pays des Jivaros ou le drame œdipien du psychanalyste
Authors: Cabrol Guy 
Published: January 2013

Résumé Le destin de l’analyste est une confrontation permanente aux drames œdipiens par le jeu transféro-contre-transférentiel du couple analytique où, in effigie mais en personne, il occupe toutes les places, au nom d’Œdipe, objet transitionnel culturel. Comment s’opère la transgression œdipienne de devenir analyste et prendre la place symbolique de son propre analyste et rejoindre la place des pairs ? Comment s’inscrit dans le transgénérationnel psychanalytique, les théories et les mythes de la tribu des Jivaros ?
L'humour au vif du transfert
Authors: Dispaux Marie-France 
Published: January 2013

Résumé À l’ occasion de la « carte blanche » autour de Jean-Luc Donnet, l’auteur a repris leur sujet, l’humour , sous l’angle de son intérêt pour les micro-transformations dans le décours d’une séance, en lien avec une intervention de l’analyste. Le texte de Freud sur l’humour se termine par une constatation: nous avons beaucoup à apprendre sur l’essence du Surmoi. Les subtiles variations au cours d’une séance nous permettent de le constater une fois encore, comme l’auteur le développe au cours du déroulement de deux séances.
Le rapport moi-surmoi et la subjectivation
Authors: Zilkha Nathalie 
Published: January 2013

Résumé Comment le moi gagne-t-il en liberté, en jeu, dans son rapport au surmoi et qu’est-ce qui peut venir complexifier ce mouvement ? La désidentification implique une opposition potentielle du moi au surmoi. Si elle ne va véritablement jamais de soi, qu’en est-il lorsque prédomine une figure imagoique qui semble hypnotiser le moi ? Une séquence cinématographique tirée de Dr Mabuse le Joueur de Fritz Lang servira de point de départ pour cette réflexion. La resexualisation du surmoi, paradigmatique de l’adolescence, confronte à d’autres enjeux de subjectivation. Comment l’interprétation, et notamment l’interprétation humoristique, peut-elle répondre à ces difficultés ? Quelques réflexions sur la fonction de l’humour dans la cure concluent l’article.
Stratégies d’action pour l’intégration du développement durable à la formation postsecondaire
Authors: Bisaillon Véronique , Webster Alain 
Published: January 2013

Avec le soutien financier du ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport du Québec, deux universités et cinq cégeps québécois se sont unis dans le cadre d’un projet visant l’intégration du développement durable à la formation collégiale et universitaire. Dans le cadre de ce projet, l’intégration du développement durable à la formation se fait selon quatre niveaux : celui de l’accompagnement des professeurs, celui de l’intégration dans les programmes, celui de l’intégration institutionnelle et enfin, celui de la collaboration régionale entre les établissements. Cet article plaide pour une stratégie à géométrie variable et intégrée, c.-à-d., qui reconnaît d’une part l’expertise des professeurs dans leur domaine tout en déployant des actions structurantes à l’échelle des programmes et des établissements dans le respect du contexte institutionnel. Il apparaît que l’intégration du développement durable au parcours des étudiants passe non seulement par la voie scolaire, mais aussi par les activités périscolaires ou parascolaires, voire par l’ensemble du cadre de vie qu’offre l’établissement. L’enjeu du développement durable est l’occasion, pour nos cégeps1 et universités, de développer une culture institutionnelle où se renforcent mutuellement les activités d’enseignement, de recherche et de gestion institutionnelle, tout en resserrant les liens avec la collectivité.

Published: January 2013

Background A leptosomic body type is tall and thin with long hands. Marfanoid features may be familial in nature or pathological, as occurs in congenital contractual arachnodactyly (Beal's syndrome) and Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome mimicking some of the changes of Marfan syndrome, although not accompanied by luxation of lens and dissecting aneurysm of aorta. Methods In this article we collected eight patients who were consistent with the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome via phenotypic and genotypic characterization. Results Our patients manifested a constellation of variable presentations of musculo-skeletal abnormalities ranging from developmental dysplasia of the hip, protrusio acetabuli, leg length inequality, patellar instability, scoliosis, to early onset osteoarthritis. Each abnormality has been treated accordingly. Conclusion This is the first paper which includes the diagnosis and the management of the associated musculo-skeletal abnormalities in patients with Marfan syndrome, stressing that patients with Marfan syndrome are exhibiting great variability in the natural history and the severity of musculo-skeletal abnormalities.

Published: January 2013

The present study was conducted to investigate the trends of vaginal hysterectomy for genital prolapse in last 20 years by analyzing case records of affected women. During the analysis period, 4831 women underwent hysterectomy; records of 4223 (87.5%) were available. Of these, 911 (21.6%), 2.7% of 34,080 gynecological admissions, had vaginal hysterectomy for genital prolapse (study subjects). Eighty percent women who had vaginal hysterectomy for genital prolapse were over 40 years of age; however, most of these women had had the disorder for years before they presented. Only 4 (0.4%) women had not given birth, 874 (96%) women had had two or more births, and 383 (42%) had had 5 or more births. Having given birth was the major factor responsible for genital prolapse. In all, 94.2% of women presented with something coming out of the vagina.” Some women presented with abnormal vaginal bleeding or pain in abdomen as the chief complaint although they had had uterovaginal prolapse for years. There was no mortality and morbidity decreased over the years. There has been no change in the rate of vaginal hysterectomy for genital prolapse over the years. Surgical morbidity decreased trend, possibly because of the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative precautions taken, especially preoperative treatment of urinary and genital tract infection. Attempts need to be made to have safe births and a healthy life style so as to prevent genital prolapse and in case it occurs, therapy to prevent progression so that major interventions like hysterectomy are averted. Meticulous preoperative evaluation and planned therapy help in reducing surgical morbidity, if surgery becomes essential.
Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells: Identifying Assays to Predict Potency for Therapeutic Selection

Published: January 2013

Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the potential to repair and regenerate damaged tissues, making them attractive candidates for cell-based therapies. To maximize efficacy of MSCs, prediction of their therapeutic abilities must be made so that only the best cells will be used. Our goal was to identify feasible and reproducible in vitro assays to predict MSC potency. We generated cell lines from 10 normal human bone marrow samples and used the International Society for Cellular Therapy's minimal criteria to define them as MSCs: plastic adherence, appropriate surface marker expression, and trilineage differentiation. Each MSC line was further characterized by its growth, proliferation, and viability as determined by cell count, bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, and cellular ATP levels, respectively. To determine whether these tests reliably predict the therapeutic aptitude of the MSCs, several lines were implanted in vivo to examine their capacity to engraft and form granulation tissue in a well-established murine wound model using polyvinyl alcohol sponges. Long-term engraftment of MSCs in the sponges was quantified through the presence of the human-specific Alu gene in sponge sections. Sections were also stained for proliferating cells, vascularity, and granulation tissue formation to determine successful engraftment and repair. We found that high performance in a combination of the in vitro tests accurately predicted which lines functioned well in vivo. These findings suggest that reliable and reproducible in vitro assays may be used to measure the functional potential of MSCs for therapeutic use.
Correlations between the Mammographic Features of Triple-Negative and Triple-Positive Breast Cancer

Published: January 2013

Purpose:To comparative analyze the mammographic findings and clinical characteristics of triple negative breast cancer (estrogen receptor [ER] negative, progesterone receptor [PR] negative, and human epidermal growth factor receptor2 [HER2] negative) and triple positive breast cancer (ER positive, PR positive, and HER2 positive).
Materials and Methods: The immunohistochemistry results of 174 cases of TNBC and 97 cases of TPBC were reviewed. All of the patients had undergone mammography. Retrospectively evaluate the visibility, morphology, distribution and size of the lesions (masses and calcifications) and breast density on mammography of TNBC, and to compare with those of TPBC. The age onset and pathologic type were also reviewed.
Results: TNBC more frequently presented as merely a mass (95/150[63.3%]) than TPBC (34/88 [38.6%]) (P<0.01). TNBC were less frequently associated with microcalcifications (33/150[22%]) than were TPBC (39/88 [44.3%]) (P<0.01). Mammographic density and lesion visibility were similar between the two immunophenotypes. The mean age of TNBC (52[32~87]) was older than that of TPBC (48[26~68]) (P=0.002). Infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the main pathologic type of both groups. Basal-like breast cancer accounted for 47.7% (83/174) of TNBC but didnt express in TPBC (0/97).
Conclusion: The mammographic features of TNBC that lesions showed merely a mass with obscured margins, and less associated with microcalcifications might be useful to diagnose triple negative breast cancer.
Soi disant sujet, ou « La fiction suit son cours »
Authors: Michaud Ginette 
Published: January 2013

Dans Double Oubli de l’Orang-Outang (Galilée, 2010), Hélène Cixous raconte ses « retrouvailles » avec le manuscrit de son premier livre, Prénom de Dieu, paru en 1967. Dans une sorte de Bildungsroman en abyme où l’archive de l’oeuvre se trouve en quelque sorte réincorporée dans la fiction littéraire, la narratrice de ce récit réfléchit sur la figure de l’auteur qu’elle « fut » : « Quand ai-je commencé à être moi-même mon auteur ? Ai-je écrit les nouvelles du Prénom de Dieu en tant que pleinement responsable de mes actes ? Étais-je plongée dans un état d’hypnose ? […] Suis-je une fiction ? », se demande-t-elle en se confrontant non sans inquiétude à cette question qui lui « cause des dommages irréparables ». Reprenant la question de Foucault au sujet de la fonction auteur, ce texte interroge à son tour ce qu’il en est de la question du « soi disant sujet » lorsque, en déconstruction et en psychanalyse, celui-ci, oscillant entre qui et quoi, est non seulement dédoublé mais irréductiblement divisé entre ses semblants, vrais et faux, pseudonymes et autres spectres, dissociation qui ébranle toutes les assises (forme, substance, ipséité, causalité, chronologie) donnant consistance à l’identité. Plusieurs aspects – notamment ceux de la mémoire, du nom, du faux, de la « réalité », fictive et pourtant vraie – sont également au foyer des questions pensées par ce récit d’Hélène Cixous.
