AbstractEach year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics. A total of 1,660,290 new cancer cases and 580,350 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States in 2013. During the most recent 5 years for which there are data (2005‐2009), delay‐adjusted cancer incidence rates declined slightly in men (by 0.6% per year) and were stable in women, while cancer death rates decreased by 1.8% per year in men and by 1.5% per year in women. Overall, cancer death rates have declined 20% from their peak in 1991 (215.1 per 100,000 population) to 2009 (173.1 per 100,000 population). Death rates continue to decline for all 4 major cancer sites (lung, colorectum, breast, and prostate). Over the past 10 years of data (2000‐2009), the largest annual declines in death rates were for chronic myeloid leukemia (8.4%), cancers of the stomach (3.1%) and colorectum (3.0%), and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (3.0%). The reduction in overall cancer death rates since 1990 in men and 1991 in women translates to the avoidance of approximately 1.18 million deaths from cancer, with 152,900 of these deaths averted in 2009 alone. Further progress can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket and other underserved populations.

Performing Absences. Seasonal Returns in South Albanian Villages
Authors: Pistrick Eckehard 
Published: January 2013

Résumé Cet article se propose de développer une « anthropologie de l’absence » à propos de la migration, notamment à partir de différentes scènes sociales : les fêtes de village revitalisées, les noces et les funérailles. De tels événements auxquels participent les migrants qui retournent au village natal se caractérisent par une ambiguïté émotionnelle particulière et un processus dynamique de nostalgie qui à la fois emprisonne et libère. En même temps, le sens de l’absence est nourri de discours à propos des racines, de la tradition et de l’espace fondateur.
Le corps et l'inconscient chez l'enfant
Authors: Joly Fabien 
Published: January 2013

Résumé Le corporel a toujours eu en psychanalyse des odeurs de soufre... le plus souvent appréhendé d’un regard chargé de suspicions, gros de l’interdit du toucher, du brûlot de l’excitation et du pulsionnel débridés, du risque de l’acting et d’un évitement de la pensée, des ombres d’un rabattement sur le fonctionnel, l’auto-conservatif ou le réadaptatif, assez loin de la liberté du sujet psychique et des logiques de l’inconscient. Et quand la théorie analytique a enfin tenté de s’en saisir ce fut du bout des doigts, au seul niveau des « trous du corps » et des diverses fonctions sphincters, au niveau de l’enveloppe signifiante et des traces sur la peau, au plan d’un support de métaphorisation et de représentance pour le moi, ou d’une équivalence archaïque d’une sorte de langage du corps, d’une expressivité du non-verbal alors revisitée sous l’angle d’un message d’avant la parole. On est ensuite frappé que quand le corps a enfin droit de citer c’est le plus souvent dans un dualisme affirmé et assez hiérarchisé et sous l’incidence des liens descendants de la psyché vers le corps. La flèche retour qui irait du corps à la psyché, et la prise en compte des expressions psychiques de certaines souffrances corporelles (douleurs, handicap, troubles du développement, faillite psychomotrice, etc.) ne retiennent guère l’attention des analystes. Et que dire des sources corporelles de la vie d’âme, de l’épaisseur de la chair et du tonus, des enjeux de la motricité ou du sensoriel et des expériences du corps à corps, tellement plus difficiles à appréhender. Nous proposons ici un essai, voire des balbutiements métapsychologiques pour appréhender ou donner les linéaments d’une théorie analytique du corps-en-relation qui intègre les voies plurielles du corps vers la psyché et de la psyché vers le corps, mieux encore du complexe corps/psyché de l’un vers le complexe corps/psyché de l’autre, car aucun enjeu psychique ne peut s’appréhender sans le recours à la psyché de l’autre... elle-même éminemment corporelle !
La palette d'Hippocrate. Impressions chromatiques sur La Mounine de Francis Ponge
Authors: Chalmin Ronan Y. 
Published: January 2013

Résumé La Mounine , d’abord paysage puis poème, est le moment d’une congestion. Congestion du ciel de Provence un matin, au lieu-dit « La Mounine » ; congestion de l’écriture dans ce cahier ouvert par Francis Ponge peu de temps après et publié dans La Rage de l’expression . Rage de l’expression en effet, puisque Ponge n’y arrive pas. Maintes fois recommencée, l’œuvre progresse avec peine, cherche sa propre fluidité, comme ce ciel provençal victime d’occlusion. Finalement, tout ici est affaire d’eau, de liquide, d’humeur. Ponge le poète devient peintre humoral, et se saisit de la palette d’Hippocrate pour tenter de croquer ce bout de ciel qui lui résiste.
Science critique et conscience d'auteur : Proust à l'épreuve
Authors: Loehr Joël 
Published: January 2013

Résumé La critique moderne a mis l’accent sur des discordances ou des conflits entre les deux « côtés » de la Recherche : le versant spéculatif et le versant romanesque. Une option (la plus généralement suivie jusqu’ici) consiste à en accuser Proust lui-même, au risque de disqualifier jusqu’à sa conscience d’auteur. Une autre option (ouverte par Dorrit Cohn et que nous mettons à l’épreuve) consisterait à imputer au narrateur les doctrines surannées et les dogmes datés auxquels le récit de vie apporte un démenti formel, et à sauvegarder ainsi « l’intégrité esthétique » de l’œuvre de Proust.

Published: January 2013

AbstractBilateral venous thrombosis due to underlying malignancy is a rare entity. It is worthy to search for malignancy in patients of bilateral venous gangrene. Our patient presented with severe bilateral leg pain as a result of venous gangrene. There was associated left sided massive pleural effusion with scalp nodule. Fine needle aspiration cytology of scalp nodule revealed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and fiber optic bronchoscopy guided biopsy from growth at left upper lobe bronchus confirmed the case as squamous cell carcinoma lung. It was rare for squamous cell carcinoma lung to present as bilateral venous gangrene with anticardiolipin antibody negative.

Published: January 2013

AbstractXanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare chronic renal infection of unknown pathogenesis characterized by replacement of renal parenchyma by lipid filled macrophages frequently associated with an enlarged, non-functioning kidney and an obstructing calculus. We report a case of a 45 year old non diabetic female who presented with gradually enlarging renal mass with extensive retroperitoneal involvement and a non-functioning kidney with no evidence of obstructing stone or fat density and simulating malignancy. She was diagnosed as stage III Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis and managed with radical nephrectomy with favourable outcome.

Published: January 2013

Abstract
Background: Mediastinal tumors are an uncommon abnormalities found in clinical practice. Anterior mediastinum is the common site and tissue diagnoses of anterior mediastinal masses (AMMs) are very important for correct therapeutic decision. Objective: We evaluate the different malignant AMMs in various age groups and the sensitivity of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and core needle biopsy (CNB). Cytology smears are reviewed with particular emphasis on pitfalls in the cytological diagnosis. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 50 patients who were consulted for AMMs and underwent FNAC and CNB under guidance of ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scan from 2006 to 2011. Cytology smears and histological sections were evaluated in all patients. Results: Among 50 cases, 36 were male and 14 were female. Most AMMs (52%) were identified in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Metastatic carcinoma and nonHodgkin′s lymphoma are the common AMMs. Adequate tissue material was obtained in 49 of 50 cases by CNB. Of these 49 patients, 35 (71.42%) cases were diagnosed correctly by FNAC, whereas 14 (28.57%) cases were not diagnosed definitely by FNAC. The sensitivity of CNB for AMMs was 97.95%, significantly higher than FNAC (71.42%) ( P < 0.05). CNB had statistically significant higher diagnostic rate than FNAC in the noncarcinoma group (100% versus 62.96%) ( P < 0.05). There is no significant difference of CNB and FNAC in carcinoma group ( P > 0.05). Diagnostic rate of FNAC was higher for carcinomatous lesions (81.81%) than for noncarcinomatous lesions (62.96%). Conclusion: Ultrasound or CT scan-guided CNB in combination with FNAC are safe, minimally invasive, and cost-effective procedure, which can provide a precise diagnosis in the AMMs, and may obviate the need for invasive surgical approach. FNAC usually suffice for carcinomatous lesions but CNB should be performed whenever the diagnosis of carcinoma is equivocal or noncarcinoma lesions are suspected.
Dose prediction accuracy of anisotropic analytical algorithm and pencil beam convolution algorithm beyond high density heterogeneity interface
Authors: Rana Suresh B. 
Published: January 2013

Abstract
Purpose: It is well known that photon beam radiation therapy requires dose calculation algorithms. The objective of this study was to measure and assess the ability of pencil beam convolution (PBC) and anisotropic analytical algorithm (AAA) to predict doses beyond high density heterogeneity. Materials and Methods: An inhomogeneous phantom of five layers was created in Eclipse planning system (version 8.6.15). Each layer of phantom was assigned in terms of water (first or top), air (second), water (third), bone (fourth), and water (fifth or bottom) medium. Depth doses in water (bottom medium) were calculated for 100 monitor units (MUs) with 6 Megavoltage (MV) photon beam for different field sizes using AAA and PBC with heterogeneity correction. Combinations of solid water, Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), and Styrofoam were then manufactured to mimic phantoms and doses for 100 MUs were acquired with cylindrical ionization chamber at selected depths beyond high density heterogeneity interface. The measured and calculated depth doses were then compared. Results: AAA′s values had better agreement with measurements at all measured depths. Dose overestimation by AAA (up to 5.3%) and by PBC (up to 6.7%) was found to be higher in proximity to the high-density heterogeneity interface, and the dose discrepancies were more pronounced for larger field sizes. The errors in dose estimation by AAA and PBC may be due to improper beam modeling of primary beam attenuation or lateral scatter contributions or combination of both in heterogeneous media that include low and high density materials. Conclusions: AAA is more accurate than PBC for dose calculations in treating deep-seated tumor beyond high-density heterogeneity interface.

Abstract
Context: Altered fractionated radiotherapy may have better result than conventional radiotherapy and concomitant chemoradiotherapy to treat locally advanced head and neck cancers. Aims: Evaluation of the response and toxicities in different fractionated radiotherapy schedules in locally advanced head and neck cancer. Materials and Methods: Sixty four histologically proved patients of locally advanced head and neck cancer were included in the study according to protocol and were randomized into three arms. Arm A (n = 21) received 66 Gy in 33 fractions (5 fractions/week from Monday to Friday) single fraction daily in 6½ weeks along with concomitant chemotherapy (injection Cisplatin 30 mg/m 2 intravenous once weekly) for 6 weeks. Arm B (n = 21) received 66 Gy in 33 fractions (6 fractions per week) single fraction daily in 5½ weeks, and arm C ( n = 22) received late hyperfractionation after 3 weeks; 30 Gy in 15 fractions in 3 weeks followed by 1.4 Gy twice daily (time gap between 2 fractions were 6 hours) for 15 days with a total of 72 Gy in 6 weeks. Response to treatment, compliance, and toxicities were compared in all the three arms. Statistical Analysis Used: Frequency table and chi square tests done. Results: Baseline data were comparable in all the three arms. Complete response in arm A, arm B, and arm C were 15%, 26.315%, and 23.81%, respectively ( P = 0.339). Grade 1 Neutropenia in arm A was 15%, arm B was 26.32%, and arm C was nil (P = 0.0486). Conclusion: Altered fractionation and concurrent chemoradiation showed similar response with comparable acute toxicities except nutropenia, which was significantly higher in arm B.

Published: January 2013

AbstractIn the recent past, there has been an impressive growth in the number of clinical trials launched worldwide, including India. Participation in well-designed oncology clinical trials is of advantage to Indian healthcare system in general, and cancer patients in particular. However, the number of clinical trials being run in India is not commensurate with the cancer burden prevailing in the country. In this article, the authors investigate the reasons for this discrepancy, highlight critical bottlenecks, and propose ways to ameliorate the situation.

Published: January 2013

ABSTRACT‘Halitosis’ or bad breath is an unpleasant problem that affects people socially and psychologically. Halitosis is caused by a mixture of breath with malodorous compounds emanating from different areas of the oral cavity, respiratory tract and upper digestive tracts.Breath odor research captured the scientific community's attention during the last few decades. This has led to advances in analytical instruments used for identification and measurement of these malodorous compounds. The dental profession's response to the problem of halitosis has been met with hurdles in regards therapy often due to perceptive differences of the patient. This review attempts to highlight the identification, classification, diagnosis and treatment of halitosis.How to cite this articleKini VV, Pereira R, Padhye A, Kanagotagi S, Pathak T, Gupta H.

Technology Diffusion and Environmental Regulation: The Adoption of Scrubbers by Coal-Fired Power Plants
Authors: Frey Elaine F. 
Published: January 2013

Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments implemented a pollution permit system for sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions that departs from state command-and-control regulations that were in place prior to and during its implementation. This paper develops a technology diffusion model, relying on rank effects or firm heterogeneity, to explain the adoption of scrubbers, a SO2 abatement technology. Using survival analysis, empirical results show that generating units regulated under Phase I of Title IV, units facing more stringent state regulations, and units with low expected installation costs are much more likely to install a scrubber. In addition, there is evidence of positive scale effects of adoption, meaning larger units are more likely to adopt because expected installation costs are lower. Tradable permit systems should give firms more flexibility in choosing abatement technologies, but results show that when command-and-control regulations overlap with a market-based system, the technology choice is restricted. http://dx.doi.org/10.5547/01956574.34.1.8

Electronic and Molecular Structures of Heteroradialenes: A Combined Synthetic, Computational, Spectroscopic, and Structural Study Identifying IR Spectroscopy as a Simple but Powerful Experimental Probe

Published: January 2013

Abstract
The vicinity of a hydrogen bond donor (O-H) and a hydrogen bond acceptor (C=O or C=N- R) in salicylaldehydes and ortho-Schiff bases results in significant structural variations compared to the monosubstituted derivatives that are reflected in the electronic structure and thus in the spectroscopic properties. This interplay between intramolecular hydrogen bonding and multicenter p- electron delocalization is the origin of the concept of resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB). Herein, the complexity is extended from one hydrogen bond donor-acceptor pair in salicylaldehyde and ortho-Schiff bases to three hydrogen bond donor-acceptor pairs in 2,4,6-tricarbonyl- and 2,4,6- triimine-substituted phloroglucinols (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene), respectively. To evaluate the changes in the molecular and electronic structures, we have performed a comprehensive computational, spectroscopic, and structural study starting from monosubstituted benzene derivatives as references over ortho-disubstituted derivates to the sixfold-substituted derivatives. Whereas in salicylaldehydes, ortho- Schiff bases, and 2,4,6-tricarbonyl-phloroglucinols the phenolic O-protonated tautomers represent the energy minima, the N-protonated tautomers represent the energy minima in 2,4,6-triiminephloroglucinols. The analysis provides a keto-enamine resonance structure with six exocyclic double bonds to be dominant for these species reminiscent of [6]radialenes, which were termed heteroradialenes. These heteroradialenes are non-aromatic alicycles. However, the predominance of this resonance structure does not represent a sudden change going from the 2,4,6-tricarbonyl- to the 2,4,6-triimine-phloroglucinols, but a gradual increase of analogous resonance structure contributions is observed even in salicylaldehyde and ortho-Schiff bases demonstrating some hetero-orthoquinodimethane character. These changes are, besides in the molecular structures, well reflected in the IR spectra, which can therefore be used as a simple tool to probe the electronic structures in these systems. Interruption of the delocalized p system supporting the intramolecular hydrogen bond, i. e. going from 2,4,6-triimine- to 2,4,6-triamine-substituted phloroglucinols, reestablishes an O-protonated aromatic phloroglucinol system.

Published: January 2013

Abstract
The new rare earth fluoride borates RE
5(BO3)2F9 (RE=Ho, Dy) were synthesized under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 1:5 GPa, 1250°C for Dy5(BO3)2F9 and 2:5 GPa, 1200°C for Ho5(BO3)2F9 in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus from the corresponding rare earth oxides, rare earth fluorides, and boron oxide. The single-crystal structure determinations have revealed that both compounds are isotypic to the known rare earth fluoride borates RE
5(BO3)2F9 (RE=Er, Tm, Yb). The new fluoride borates crystallize monoclinically in the space group C2/c (Z=4) with the lattice parameters a=2046.7(4), b=615.9(2), c=829:6(2) pm, β=100.1(1)° for Dy5(BO3)2F9 and a=2039.5(4), b=612.7(2), c=827:1(2) pm, β=100.2(1)° for Ho5(BO3)2F9. Three crystallographically different nine-fold coordinated rare earth cations can be identified in the crystal structure. All boron atoms build up isolated trigonal-planar [BO3]3– groups. In addition to the Raman and IR spectroscopic investigations, DFT-calculations were performed to support the assignment of the vibrational bands.
