Persistent syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion following traumatic brain injury
Authors: Dick Michael , Catford Sarah R , Kumareswaran Kavita , Hamblin Peter Shane , Topliss Duncan J 
Published: October 2015

Summary
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) can occur following traumatic brain injury (TBI), but is usually transient. There are very few case reports describing chronic SIADH and all resolved within 12 months, except for one case complicated by meningo-encephalitis. Persistent symptomatic hyponatremia due to chronic SIADH was present for 4 years following a TBI in a previously well 32-year-old man. Hyponatremia consistent with SIADH initially occurred in the immediate period following a high-speed motorbike accident in 2010. There were associated complications of post-traumatic amnesia and mild cognitive deficits. Normalization of serum sodium was achieved initially with fluid restriction. However, this was not sustained and he subsequently required a permanent 1.2 l restriction to maintain near normal sodium levels. Multiple episodes of acute symptomatic hyponatremia requiring hospitalization occurred over the following years when he repeatedly stopped the fluid restriction. Given the ongoing nature of his hyponatremia and difficulties complying with strict fluid restriction, demeclocycline was commenced in 2014. Normal sodium levels without fluid restriction have been maintained for 6 months since starting demeclocycline. This case illustrates an important long-term effect of TBI, the challenges of complying with permanent fluid restrictions and the potential role of demeclocycline in patients with chronic hyponatremia due to SIADH.

Learning points

Hyponatraemia due to SIADH commonly occurs after TBI, but is usually mild and transient.

Chronic hyponatraemia due to SIADH following TBI is a rare but important complication.

It likely results from damage to the pituitary stalk or posterior pituitary causing inappropriate non-osmotic hypersecretion of ADH.

First line management of SIADH is generally fluid restriction, but hypertonic saline may be required in severe cases. Adherence to long-term fluid restriction is challenging. Other options include oral urea, vasopressin receptor antagonists and demeclocycline.

While effective, oral urea is poorly tolerated and vasopressin receptor antagonists are currently not licensed for use in Australia or the USA beyond 30 days due to insufficient long-term safety data and specific concerns of hepatotoxicity.

Demeclocycline is an effective, well-tolerated and safe option for management of chronic hyponatraemia due to SIADH.
Iatrogenic myxoedema madness following radioactive iodine ablation for Graves' disease, with a concurrent diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism
Authors: Larouche V , Snell L , Morris D V 
Published: October 2015

Summary
Myxoedema madness was first described as a consequence of severe hypothyroidism in 1949. Most cases were secondary to long-standing untreated primary hypothyroidism. We present the first reported case of iatrogenic myxoedema madness following radioactive iodine ablation for Graves' disease, with a second concurrent diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism. A 29-year-old woman presented with severe hypothyroidism, a 1-week history of psychotic behaviour and paranoid delusions 3 months after treatment with radioactive iodine ablation for Graves' disease. Her psychiatric symptoms abated with levothyroxine replacement. She was concurrently found to be hypertensive and hypokalemic. Primary hyperaldosteronism from bilateral adrenal hyperplasia was diagnosed. This case report serves as a reminder that myxoedema madness can be a complication of acute hypothyroidism following radioactive iodine ablation of Graves' disease and that primary hyperaldosteronism may be associated with autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

Learning points

Psychosis (myxoedema madness) can present as a neuropsychiatric manifestation of acute hypothyroidism following radioactive iodine ablation of Graves' disease.

Primary hyperaldosteronism may be caused by idiopathic bilateral adrenal hyperplasia even in the presence of an adrenal adenoma seen on imaging.

Adrenal vein sampling is a useful tool for differentiating between a unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma, which is managed surgically, and an idiopathic bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, which is managed medically.

The management of autoimmune hyperthyroidism, iatrogenic hypothyroidism and primary hyperaldosteronism from bilateral idiopathic adrenal hyperplasia in patients planning pregnancy includes delaying pregnancy 6 months following radioactive iodine treatment and until patient is euthyroid for 3 months, using amiloride as opposed to spironolactone, controlling blood pressure with agents safe in pregnancy such as nifedipine and avoiding β blockers.

Autoimmune hyperthyroidism and primary hyperaldosteronism rarely coexist; any underlying mechanism associating the two is still unclear.
Analysis of Si-SiO2 Interfacial-Energy Hierarchy via Mixed-Phase Solidification of Si Films on SiO2
Authors: Wang Ying , Chahal Monica D. , Wang J. J. , Limanov A. B. , Chitu A. M. , Im James S. 
Published: October 2015

ABSTRACTWe have experimentally investigated the anisotropy of Si-SiO2 interfacial energy by leveraging the mixed-phase solidification (MPS) method. By examining the microstructure evolution resulting from partial-melting-and-solidification cycles, and interpreting the changes in the surface-orientation distribution of the grains in terms of the thermodynamic model, we have identified the orientation-dependent hierarchical order of Si-SiO2 interfacial energies, σ{hkl}, as: σ{100} < σ{310} < σ{113} < σ{112} < σ{221} < σ{210}∼σ{331} < σ{111}, σ{110}.
Seliger Johannes Paul II. Sohn Polens und Vater des Vereinigten Europas
Authors: Biel Robert 
Published: October 2015

Pope John Pauls II is the most famous person in Polish history. He has been acclaimed as one of the most infl uential leaders of the 20th century. It is widely accepted that he was important in ending communism in Poland and eventually all of Europe. He also helped Poland to enter European Union. After his death the Church in Poland feels like an orphan, but sees chances in the heritage, which John Paul II left for the Church in his own Homeland.
Johannes Paul II. lebt weiter in seinen Enzykliken
Authors: Müller Gerhard Ludwig 
Published: October 2015

Blessed John Paul II has very clearly recognised the signs of time. He has also observed the destructive impulses in the West societies during the past several decades and has consistently pointed out in his encyclicals that in its search for identity and meaning, modern humanity was not able to find a purpose and reason for living. His encyclics are precious gifts and directions for the Third Millenium. The most important aspects of his teaching are: Christ in the centere, co-workers of Kingdom of God, anthropology, reason and faith, defending life, Ut unum sint - the commitment to ecumenism, Totus tuus - the life of faith.
Die Ökologie der Person – Kantische Motive des Personbegriffs in Karol Wojtyłas “Person und Tat”
Authors: Waleszczuk Zbigniew 
Published: October 2015

Apart from many legitimate concerns about ecology, the most important contemporary concern should be of anthropological nature and must address the human as a person (Benedikt XVI). What is man? Are human beings free? What should human beings do? These Kantian questions also describe the main starting points of Karol Wojtyła’s philosophy in “The Acting Person”. With regard to the importance of the question (ecology of man) our challenge is divided into three parts. Firstly, man is a person; secondly, his call is to liberty and lastly, responsible love is an emanation of personal dignity. In this manner the three important points in Wojtyła’s philosophy (person, liberty, love) are well characterized. The essence of man is his personal dignity as a source for the possibility of free (responsible) decisions – “the act”. The experience of morality is included in the experience of being a person. Wojtyła poses the question “how do I understand who I am throughout my acts?” Like Kant, the author emphasizes the importance of free will, conscientiousness as an obligation, which speaks to the conscious person. I determine myself through my own decision (person´s actions). For Wojtyła, participation in love is the basis of all human personal experiences. “Only persons participate in love”. Participation in the character of the other becomes – in the language of Wojtyła – “the choice of the other person in myself”.
Catholic Archives in a Public Institution: A Case Study of the Arrangement Between Kent State University and the Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio
Authors: Geary James 
Published: October 2015

Perhaps the most lasting effect of America's bicentennial was to encourage individuals and organizations to think more carefully of preserving and making available their historically valuable records. Consistent with this spirit, the American Catholic Church pursued active steps to ensure that its archival records would receive a higher priority than in years past. By 1974, a special committee had prepared and submitted a "Document of Ecclesiastical Archives." It would serve as the cornerstone for Catholic Archives from the mid-1970s onward. Of the many dioceses responding to the need to take better care of the records in their custody, some added support to established archival operations. Others either initiated programs or investigated and implemented alternatives.
This study examines the special arrangement between Kent State University and the Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio. Among its purposes is that of providing a model for other public institutions and dioceses that may wish to consider entering a similar arrangement.
The Origins of Restrictions on Access To Personal Papers at the Library of Congress and the National Archives
Authors: Geselbracht Raymond 
Published: October 2015

Two very different access policies for donated papers have developed within the two major traditions of American archival administration, the historical manuscripts tradition and the public archives tradition. Within the former, the policy was founded on an agreement between the repository and the donor that exchanged possession of the papers for restrictions on their use. The donor maintained control of access to some or all of his papers, and the archivist administered the restrictions. A quite different access policy developed within the public archives tradition, based on the assumption that papers with a high public policy content should be open. Restrictions were regarded as necessary, but undesirable.
This article focuses on the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress and the presidential libraries system of the National Archives and Records Administration. The author examines the strengths and limitations of the access policies employed by both these institutions and encourages archivists to work toward agreement on what constitutes a good access policy.
"Wonderful Things": History, Business, and Archives Look to the Future
Authors: McDowall Duncan 
Published: October 2015

The lot of a business archivist is becoming no happier. Corporate archivists have perennially been confronted by the daunting challenge of bringing order to the mountain of corporate documentation deposited on their doorstep. All too often, archivists have also been obliged to contend with the skepticism of their corporate masters, battling to maintain that the archives is a vital corporate function. The 1980s have hardly lessened these challenges. The information revolution has fundamentally transformed the nature of corporate documentation; personal computers, telecommunications, fax machines, and the ease of corporate travel have all diminished the centrality of the written word. The days of the logical, linear paper-based archives are numbered. Corporate information has become increasingly slippery and transitory; decision making now seldom leaves a neat paper trail in its wake. This trend has been given velocity by monumental complexity of global business today, the rigors of recession restructuring, and the deep-seated litigiousness bred by a decade of hostile buyouts and financial sophistry.
Business archivists must meet the challenge of this new information order, not by resting on their laurels as efficient paper sorters but by aggressively proving an expanded applicability for their corporate talents. They must resist wrapping themselves in the esoteric jargon of professionalism and must instead present themselves in a useful light, as the information handmaidens of decision making. To do this, they must become more entrepreneurial and more attuned to the new diversity of information emanating from the corporation, thereby becoming more able to prove themselves as value adders to the corporation.
Mass Deacidification: Universal Cure or Limited Solution?
Authors: Grimard Jacques 
Published: October 2015

This article is a modified version of a paper presented at the 1992 annual meeting of the National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators held in Washington on 15--18 July 1992. The author expresses special thanks to Ellen Desmarais, director of the Conservation Treatment Division, Archives Preservation Branch at the National Archives of Canada, for her contribution. Responsible for the management and operations of the Mass Deacidification System of the National Archives of Canada, she kindly agreed to provide input and to revise this paper.
Long-term preservation of paper archives produced since the middle of the nineteenth century represents a major challenge for the archival and library communities. The massive use of wood pulp to produce newspapers, books, and records has made a large portion of the documentary heritage vulnerable, particularly to acidity. Like many other cultural organizations, the National Archives and the National Library of Canada both have been searching for long-term solutions to this ongoing problem. For the past 15 years, the National Archives of Canada has been operating a Mass Deacidification System that has allowed the protection of more than half a million books. In this article, the author summarizes the system, discusses the results achieved, and ponders the problems raised by its operations and its accompanying major management challenges.
Managing Information in an Office Systems Environment: The IMOSA Project
Authors: McDonald John 
Published: October 2015

This paper is reprinted from John McDonald, "Information Management and Office Systems Advancement," in Information Handling in Offices and Archives, edited by Angelika Menne-Haritz (New York: K. G. Saur, 1993). It describes a public-private-academic partnership project that was led by the National Archives and that investigated the impact of office systems technologies on the management of electronic records. Prototype software for managing electronic records was tested, and functional requirements and other related products were developed. This paper describes the project and summarizes the findings.
IMOSA represented an important milestone in the evolution of the National Archives' guidance in this area. The consultation drafts of this guidance, which were made available by the National Archives in June 1995, are shaped largely by the findings of the IMOSA project. For a description of this guidance and a more recent perspective on the management of electronic records in the office systems environment, please see John McDonald, "Managing Records in the Modern Office: Taming the Wild Frontier," Archivaria 39 (Spring 1995):7-79. Copies of the IMOSA reports and the consultation draft of the Guide to the Management of Electronic Records in the Electronic Work Environment are available from the National Archives of Canada, IMSP, 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0N3.
The IMOSA project was managed by Susan Gillies of the Canadian Workplace Automation Research Centre of Communications Canada and supported by Christiane Desautels of the National Archives of Canada. Many of the points raised in this paper resulted from their observations during this project. The author is grateful to David Bearman, Terry Cook, Margaret Hedstrom, and Lisa Weber for helping to shape many of the ideas expressed in this paper.
Group Work, "Groupware," and the Transformation of Information Resource Management
Authors: Kesner Richard 
Published: October 2015

This essay briefly considers the increasingly important role of computer-mediated tools in effective organizational communications: (1) electronic mail, offering one-to-one communication; (2) electronic conferencing, offering many-to-many communication; and (3) corporatewide information systems (CWIS), offering one-to-many communication. It then proceeds to explore in greater detail the role that a new generation of computer software, so-called groupware, is coming to play as an enabler and enhancer of these technologies, thus transforming information resource management (IRM) within the modern organization. The author illustrates his points through the use of three mini-case studies. The first and primary example considers the impact of groupware on the operations of Babson College. The Babson study is supplemented by two summary references to the use of similar products within a global accounting/consulting firm and within a large U.S. government agency.
This essay was prepared for the American Archivist in October 1992. Although some of the bibliographic notes have been superseded, the concepts and issues addressed in this paper are as relevant today as they were when originally written.
Punch Card Records: Precursors of Electronic Records
Authors: Adams Margaret 
Published: October 2015

Section 2 of the 1939 Federal Records Act defines the meaning of records to preface regulations related to records disposal and explicitly includes punch cards among the record types. The definition of records from the 1939 act and from its subsequent revisions have been used traditionally and statutorily as the definition of records applied to archives.
The appearance of punch cards in a list of types of records at such an early point in the history of the U.S. National Archives suggests enlightened consensus on the record nature of this then-new form of documentary material. Punch card records emerged as a by-product of the introduction of information technology in the U.S. federal government in the early twentieth century, yet the U.S. National Archives accessioned only a very few collections of punch card records.
The history of punch card records offers perspective on the manner in which records creators and archivists responded to the unprecedented challenge of punch cards as a form of documentary material. A review of this history provides the basis for an interpretation of the archival mission in a technologically based records environment.
This paper has its roots in a 29 October 1989 presentation at the annual meeting of the Society of American Archivists in St. Louis, Missouri.

Embracing the Power of Archives
Authors: Jimerson Randall 
Published: October 2015

In my dream I am entering a temple. Its ornate facCade and tall spires give me hope. I will find enlightenment here. I push open the massive door and enter. The door clangs shut behind me. I am in a dimly lit room with high windows that prevent the sunlight from reaching me. Despite the heat outside it is cool here. A security guard approaches. The temple has become a prison.
The guard tells me to surrender my pens and put my briefcase in a locker. I sit at a table. Guards and security cameras watch me constantly to prevent escape or theft. I realize that I am hungry. A young woman hands me a menu. The prison is now a restaurant.
"What do you want?" the waitress asks. The menu she hands me does not list food items, only the names of food creators—General Mills, Vlasic Foods International, Kraft Foods, Hormel. "May I suggest something local?" She pulls down a menu for Touch of the Bayou, Inc. It lists a series of categories, including the Bayou Magic brand. "Bring me some Bayou Magic, please," I politely request.
Soon a cart arrives laden with several boxes. My food must be inside. I open one box at a time—correspondence, reports, financial ledgers. In the last box are recipes. Gumbo. Crawfish étouffé. Jambalaya.
The waitress recommends Gumbo. She brings me a box filled with okra, cayenne peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and other primary sources of nutrition. After all this, I still have to cook my own meal.
Genotypic variation in foundation species generates network structure that may drive community dynamics and evolution
Authors: Lau Matthew K. , Keith Arthur R. , Borrett Stuart R. , Shuster Stephen M. , Whitham Thomas G. 
Published: October 2015

AbstractAlthough genetics in a single species is known to impact whole communities, little is known about how genetic variation influences species interaction networks in complex ecosystems. Here, we examine the interactions in a community of arthropod species on replicated genotypes (clones) of a foundation tree species, Populus angustifolia James (narrowleaf cottonwood), in a long‐term, common garden experiment using a bipartite “genotype–species” network perspective. We combine this empirical work with a simulation experiment designed to further investigate how variation among individual tree genotypes can impact network structure. Three findings emerged: (1) the empirical “genotype–species network” exhibited significant network structure with modularity being greater than the highly conservative null model; (2) as would be expected given a modular network structure, the empirical network displayed significant positive arthropod co‐occurrence patterns; and (3) furthermore, the simulations of “genotype–species” networks displayed variation in network structure, with modularity in particular clearly increasing, as genotypic variation increased. These results support the conclusion that genetic variation in a single species contributes to the structure of ecological interaction networks, which could influence ecological dynamics (e.g., assembly and stability) and evolution in a community context.
