Authors: Donaldson Elisabeth A. , Cohen Joanna E. , Truant Patricia L. , Rutkow Lainie , Kanarek Norma F. , Barry Colleen L. 
Published: September 2015

Objectives. We assessed news media framing of New York City’s proposed regulation to prohibit the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages greater than 16 ounces. Methods. We conducted a quantitative content analysis of print and television news from within and outside New York City media markets. We examined support for and opposition to the portion-size cap in the news coverage from its May 31, 2012, proposal through the appellate court ruling on July 31, 2013. Results. News coverage corresponded to key events in the policy’s evolution. Although most stories mentioned obesity as a problem, a larger proportion used opposing frames (84%) than pro-policy frames (36%). Mention of pro-policy frames shifted toward the policy’s effect on special populations. The debate’s most prominent frame was the opposing frame that the policy was beyond the government’s role (69%). Conclusions. News coverage within and outside the New York City media market was more likely to mention arguments in opposition to than in support of the portion-size cap. Understanding how the news media framed this issue provides important insights for advocates interested in advancing similar measures in other jurisdictions.

Published: September 2015

Objectives. We examined options and need for women-centered substance use disorder treatment in the United States between 2002 and 2009. Methods. We obtained characteristics of facilities from the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services and treatment need data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. We also examined differences in provision of women-centered programs by urbanization level in data from the National Center for Health Statistics 2006 Rural-Urban County Continuum. Results. Of the 13 000 facilities surveyed annually, the proportion offering women-centered services declined from 43% in 2002 to 40% in 2009 (P < .001). Urban location, state population size, and Medicaid payment predicted provision of such services as trauma-related and domestic violence counseling, child care, and housing assistance (all, P < .001). Prevalence of women with unmet need ranged from 81% to 95% across states. Conclusions. Change in availability of women-centered drug treatment services was minimal from 2002 to 2009, even though need for treatment was high in all states.

Published: September 2015

Objectives. We evaluated organization- and network-level factors that influence organizations’ perceived success. This is important for managing interorganizational networks, which can mobilize communities to address complex health issues such as physical activity, and for achieving change. Methods. In 2011, we used structured interview and network survey data from 22 states in the United States to estimate multilevel random-intercept models to understand organization- and network-level factors that explain perceived network success. Results. A total of 53 of 59 “whole networks” met the criteria for inclusion in the analysis (89.8%). Coordinators identified 559 organizations, with 3 to 12 organizations from each network taking the online survey (response rate = 69.7%; range = 33%–100%). Occupying a leadership position (P < .01), the amount of time with the network (P < .05), and support from community leaders (P < .05) emerged as correlates of perceived success. Conclusions. Organizations’ perceptions of success can influence decisions about continuing involvement and investment in networks designed to promote environment and policy change for active living. Understanding these factors can help leaders manage complex networks that involve diverse memberships, varied interests, and competing community-level priorities.
Workplace Bullying and Suicidal Ideation: A 3-Wave Longitudinal Norwegian Study
Authors: Nielsen Morten Birkeland , Nielsen Geir Høstmark , Notelaers Guy , Einarsen Ståle 
Published: September 2015

Objectives. We examined whether victimization from bullying is related to an increased risk of suicidal ideation over time and whether suicidal ideation is related to subsequent bullying.Methods. In a longitudinal study (2005–2010), we used well-established single-item measures to assess victimization from bullying and suicidal ideation. We used latent Markov models to determine forward and reverse relationships between variables at 3 time points with 2 or 3 years between the measurement points among a randomized nationwide sample of 1846 employees in Norway.Results. Victimization from bullying was associated with subsequent suicidal ideation (odds ratio = 2.05; 95% confidence interval = 1.08, 3.89). Suicidal ideation at baseline was not related to subsequent victimization from workplace bullying.Conclusions. Workplace bullying may be a precursor to suicidal ideation, whereas suicidal ideation seems to have no impact on subsequent risk of being bullied. Regulations against bullying should be integrated into work-related legislation and public health policies.

Published: September 2015

Abstract
Case Description—An 11-year-old castrated male Vizsla was evaluated for excision of a cranial mediastinal mass.
Clinical Findings—The dog had a 1-month history of a cough that had recently increased in frequency. On physical examination, the dog had a grade 2/6 left systolic heart murmur and multiple subcutaneous masses. A soft tissue mass was observed in the cranioventral aspect of the thorax on radiographs. Results of a CT scan revealed a well-defined, 2.8 × 3.2 × 3.9-cm soft tissue mass in the cranial mediastinum.
Treatment and Outcome—The dog underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic removal of the mediastinal mass and recovered routinely. Histologic examination of excised tissues revealed malignant thymoma. Approximately 6.5 months after surgery, the dog was evaluated because of polyuria, polydipsia, decreased appetite, and vomiting. On physical examination, masses were found in both axillary regions. Results of serum biochemical analysis indicated hypercalcemia. Thoracic ultrasonography revealed pulmonary metastases and a large mass in the right caudoventral region of the thorax. The dog received supportive care and medical treatment for hypercalcemia, but clinical signs recurred. Euthanasia was elected; necropsy and histologic examination revealed thymic carcinoma.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Descriptions of the development of portal site metastasis in canine patients are rare. In this patient, portal site metastasis developed rapidly after thoracoscopic resection of a malignant thymic mass and was associated with hypercalcemia. As use of thoracoscopic procedures increases in veterinary medicine, it will be important to monitor the development of major complications such as those in the patient of this report.

Gluteal Tendinopathy: Integrating Pathomechanics and Clinical Features in Its Management
Authors: Grimaldi Alison , Fearon Angela 
Published: September 2015

Synopsis Gluteal tendinopathy is now believed to be the primary local source of lateral hip pain, or greater trochanteric pain syndrome, previously referred to as trochanteric bursitis. This condition is prevalent, particularly among postmenopausal women, and has a considerable negative influence on quality of life. Improved prognosis and outcomes in the future for those with gluteal tendinopathy will be underpinned by advances in diagnostic testing, a clearer understanding of risk factors and comorbidities, and evidence-based management programs. High-quality studies that meet these requirements are still lacking. This clinical commentary provides direction to assist the clinician with assessment and management of the patient with gluteal tendinopathy, based on currently limited available evidence on this condition and the wider tendon literature and on the combined clinical experience of the authors.

Use of fat-suppressed T2 -weighted sagittal images after infusion of excess saline into the subarachnoid space as a new diagnostic modality for cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia: technical note
Authors: Nakai Eiichi , Takemura Mitsuhiro , Nonaka Motonobu , Kawanishi Yu , Masahira Noritaka , Ueba Tetsuya 
Published: September 2015

The diagnosis of CSF hypovolemia remains controversial. The primary diagnostic factor relies on confirmation of leakage of the CSF based on reduced spinal fluid pressure. Determining the specific leakage site is the most important issue for effective treatment but remains a difficult task. Although CT myelography, radioisotope cisternography, and MRI are commonly performed in the diagnosis of CSF hypovolemia, these techniques can rarely identify the precise leakage site. Therefore, an epidural blood patch is performed in the lumbar spine in many cases.
This study reports a new diagnostic modality that can help to confirm the leakage site. Fat-suppressed T2-weighted sagittal images were compared before and after the infusion of 20 ml of saline into the subarachnoid space of the lumbar region to detect the specific leakage site with high probability. Three patients were successfully treated by the epidural blood patch based on data obtained with the new diagnostic modality. Two patients were treated in the cervical region and 1 in the lumbar region. The use of fat-suppressed T2-weighted sagittal images after saline infusion could be a relevant diagnostic modality compared with images obtained by CT myelography, radioisotope cisternography, and ordinary MRI to achieve accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of patients with CSF hypovolemia.
Transsutural distraction osteogenesis for 285 children with craniosynostosis: a single-institution experience
Authors: Park Dong Ha , Yoon Soo Han 
Published: September 2015

OBJECT
Although distraction osteogenesis (DO) requires a secondary procedure in the surgical correction of craniosynostosis, it is relatively simple, requires less transfusion, results in a shorter intensive care unit stay, and is quite safe. Because of these positive factors, various DO techniques have been developed. However, there is disagreement regarding the superiority of DO. The authors reported on a new DO technique, transsutural DO (TSDO), 6 years ago that was performed in 23 patients over a period of 6 months, and it continues to be used at the present time. In this paper the authors report the results of TSDO performed in 285 patients with craniosynostosis over a period of 6 years at a single institution.

METHODS
TSDO consists of a simple suturectomy of the pathological suture followed by direct distraction of the suturectomy site only. Types of TSDO conducted included sagittal TSDO in 95 patients, bicoronal in 14, unilateral coronal in 57, lambdoid in 26, metopic in 13, multiple in 19, syndromic in 33, and secondary in 28. The mean age (± SD) of the patients was 19.4 ± 23.0 months, and mean follow-up was 39.5 ± 21.0 months.

RESULTS
The mean operating time was 115 ± 43 minutes, and mean anesthesia time was 218 ± 56 minutes. The mean transfusion volume of red blood cell components was 48 ± 58 ml, and mean transfusion volume of fresh-frozen plasma was 19 ± 35 ml. Total transfusion volume was significantly less in infants younger than 12 months of age and in children with lower lumbar puncture pressures (p < 0.05). Complications included 1 (0.4%) death from postoperative acute pneumonia after a distractor removal operation and 23 (8%) surgical morbidities comprising 10 revisions (3.5%) and 13 early removals of distracters (4.6%).

CONCLUSIONS
TSDO is a simple, effective, and safe method to use for treating all types of craniosynostosis. Some morbidity was experienced in this study, but it may be attributed to the learning curve of the technique.

BackgroundOtitis media with effusion (OME) is a very common problem in primary care, but one that lacks an evidence-based non-surgical treatment.ObjectiveTo determine the clinical effectiveness of nasal balloon autoinflation for the treatment of OME in children.DesignA pragmatic, two-arm, open randomised controlled trial.SettingForty-three general practices from 17 UK primary care trusts recruited between January 2012 and February 2013.ParticipantsSchool children aged 4–11 years with a history of OME symptoms or related concerns in the previous 3 months, and a type B tympanogram, diagnostic of a middle ear effusion, in one or both ears.InterventionThree hundred and twenty children were randomised, 160 to each group, using independent web-based computer-generated randomisation (with minimisation based on age, sex and baseline severity of OME) to either nasal balloon autoinflation performed three times per day for 1–3 months plus usual care, or usual care alone.Main outcome measuresThe proportion of children demonstrating clearance of middle ear fluid in at least one ear (with normal tympanograms) at 1 and 3 months, assessed blind to treatment. An ear-related measure of quality of life (QoL) [a 14-point questionnaire on the impact of OME (OMQ-14)], weekly diary recorded symptoms, compliance and adverse events were all secondary outcomes.ResultsAt 1 month, the proportion of children with normal tympanograms was 47.3% (62/131) in those allocated to autoinflation and 35.6% (47/132) in those receiving usual care [adjusted relative risk (RR) 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.99 to 1.88]. At 3 months, the proportions were 49.6% (62/125) and 38.3% (46/120), respectively (adjusted RR 1.37, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.83; number needed to treat = 9). The change in OMQ-14 also favoured the intervention arm (adjusted global score difference –0.42;p = 0.001). Reported compliance was good: 89% in the first month and 80% in months 2 and 3. Adverse events included otalgia in 4% of treated children compared with 1% in the control group. Minor nosebleeds (14% vs. 15%) and respiratory tract infections (18% vs. 13%) were noted.ConclusionWe found the use of autoinflation in young children with OME to be feasible in primary care and effective in both clearing effusions and improving child and parent ear-related QoL and symptoms. This method has scope to be used more widely. Further research is needed for very young children, and to inform prudent use in different health settings.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN55208702.FundingThis project was funded by the National institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment programme and will be published in full inHealth Technology Assessment, Vol. 19, No. 72.

Published: September 2015

<p class="Abstract">We expounded the effect of intravenous arginine on the healing of human skin graft donor sites. This randomized study was double blind and controlled by placebos from October 2012 to May 2015. Nine patients were selected into the arginine group and 10 were selected into the control group. There was no significance in age, weight, BMI, CRP, albumin and total plasma protein in arginine and control groups. Angiogenesis, re-epithelialization and neutrophil influx of wound healing were measured. The concentrations of plasma amino acid were measured to evaluate our intervention. In our study, plasma arginine and ornithine concentrations in arginine group were the highest after arginine-treated at 2 days. Supplementation of intravenous arginine could not affect on healing of human skin graft donor sites, improve angiogenesis, reepithelialization or neutrophil influx in rats.</p><p> </p>
Translating the Untranslated Region
Authors: Schwerk Johannes , Savan Ram 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Gene expression programs undergo constant regulation to quickly adjust to environmental stimuli that alter the physiological status of the cell, like cellular stress or infection. Gene expression is tightly regulated by multilayered regulatory elements acting in both cis and trans. Posttranscriptional regulation of the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) is a powerful regulatory process that determines the rate of protein translation from mRNA. Regulatory elements targeting the 3′ UTR include microRNAs, RNA-binding proteins, and long noncoding RNAs, which dramatically alter the immune response. We provide an overview of our current understanding of posttranscriptional regulation of immune gene expression. The focus of this review is on regulatory elements that target the 3′ UTR. We delineate how the synergistic or antagonistic interactions of posttranscriptional regulators determine gene expression levels and how dysregulation of 3′ UTR–mediated posttranscriptional control associates with human diseases.
Ephrem the Syrian’s hymn <i>On the Crucifixion</i> 4
Authors: Botha Philippus J. 
Published: September 2015

This article offers a translation of the hymn De Crucifixione 4 by Ephrem, the Syrian theologian, which forms part of his cycle of hymns for the celebration of Easter. The symbolic interpretation of particularly the tearing of the temple veil in this hymn – together with the cosmic signs which occurred at the death of Jesus – is investigated. An attempt is made to correlate Ephrem’s fierce anti-Jewish polemics with the intentions of the authors of the Synoptic Gospels and with Ephrem’s circumstances at the probable time of composition of the hymn.
Endoscopic management of ingested foreign bodies and food impaction in esophagus
Authors: Singh Bir , Nijhawan Sandeep , Narayan Kumar Shwetanshu , Kumar Amritesh 
Published: September 2015

AbstractForeign body (FB) in the esophagus is a common emergency presentation in all age groups, especially in children. The immediate risk can range from a minimal one to a life-threatening scenario. Food impactions generally occur when there is altered anatomy (rings, webs or strictures) or motility disorders of the esophagus. The initial management approach includes a thorough history and physical examination followed by radiological investigations. Flexible endoscopy not only confirms the diagnosis but also is the therapeutic modality of choice for removing FBs and relieving the obstruction. This review aims to provide a comprehensive approach towards endoscopic management of esophageal FBs based on current literature and personal experience. The management problems associated with different types of FBs have also been highlighted.
Transgastric migration of gossypiboma: A preventable complication
Authors: Goenka Mahesh Kumar , Jha Ashish Kumar , Goenka Usha 
Published: September 2015

AbstractGossypiboma is term given for retained piece of cotton/sponge during surgery. The incidence of gossypiboma has described as 1 in 1000-3000 surgeries. Incidence is underestimated because of underreporting due to fear of medico-legal litigation and extreme criticism by media. Intraluminal migration is a rare complication of gossypiboma. Small intestine is most common intraluminal site followed by duodenum. Here, we report sixth case of transgastric migration of gossypiboma.
Primary choledocholithiasis after long-term self-expansible metallic stent for ampullary carcinoma: A rare case
Authors: Joshi Mohan , Paranjpe Ashwini , Gadhire Minakshi 
Published: September 2015

AbstractIn patients with periampullary carcinoma presenting in the inoperable stage, self-expansible metallic stents (SEMS) are preferred for palliation of jaundice. The primary common bile duct (CBD) stones are very rare in a patient who is treated with SEMS for ampullary cancer. We report here a case of primary CBD stones after 2 years of placement of SEMS, whether, reflux of duodenal contents or foreign body reaction to the stent material is the etiology of the formation of stone is a matter of debate.
Endoscopic removal of eroded adjustable gastric band in a pregnant patient
Authors: Gochnour David C. , Snyder Brad E. , Wilson Erik B. , Walker Peter A. , Shah Shinil K. 
Published: September 2015

AbstractComplications of the laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, including erosion, have been well described. Increasingly, endoscopic techniques are being utilized to manage complications of this and other weight loss procedures. The authors presented what was believed to be one of the first reported cases of successful endoscopic removal of an eroded gastric band during pregnancy. A complete description of the case and review of the relevant literature is provided. Endoscopy for management of eroded adjustable gastric bands needs to be part of the armamentarium of surgeons and endoscopists who deal with complications of weight loss surgery.
