Lost in translation: transferring knowledge from research to clinical practice
Authors: Wallace John 
Published: July 2013

SummaryUsing a new treatment is not an instantaneous act. There is a gap between research and practice and carefully evaluated evidence often fails to achieve widespread use. Various factors intercede along the pathway from knowledge generation to knowledge utilisation. These can hinder, or indeed facilitate, the use of research evidence in psychiatry. Knowledge translation is a discipline that attempts to identify and understand these barriers and facilitators to knowledge transfer. In this article, the terminology and key concepts of knowledge translation will be outlined, the evidence transfer pipeline described and obstacles and facilitators to uptake of evidence explored. The article also identifies sources of information on knowledge transfer. Innovative approaches designed to enhance the uptake of evidence from research, such as summaries, systematic reviews and targeted messaging, are also described.
Lack of interventions for anxiety in older people
Authors: Voshaar Richard C. Oude 
Published: July 2013

SummaryAlthough anxiety disorders are common in later life, only a minority of patients receive appropriate treatment. The scarcity of clinical trials and decreasing effectiveness of current treatment modalities with advancing age, as shown by Wetherell and colleagues in this issue, argue for more clinical trials and development of age-specific psychotherapeutic techniques.

Coaching interpreters: translation of phraseological units
This paper probes into the ways of translating broadly defined phraseological units, the focus being on how to coach prospective interpreters who are to effectively handle such translation. Idiomatic phraseological units, typically very idiosyncratic in a given language, are a source of difficulty for interpreters faced with the necessity to relate them to those of a different language. It is argued that special note should be taken of phraseological structures in the process of translation while phraseological competences, both receptive and productive, should become part and parcel of every interpreter’s working skills. There are a number of procedures applicable to the translation of phraseological units. Coaching interpreters effectively involves the use of various methods and techniques conducive to developing active and passive phraseological competences. Such strategies are described in the present paper.

Practice and teaching of literary translation in a bilingual “tandem”
The present article is the result of the experience of the author as both the translator of Polish literature into Spanish and Catalan, working in collaboration with the native language speaker, and the academic teacher giving classes in literary translation in bilingual groups at the University of Barcelona. Both experiences, at the beginning motivated by circumstances, have led to the elaboration of precise working methods, as well as to the formulation of a series of theoretical observations on this specific process of translation, which is a compromise between a tendency to defend the specificity of the original and a tendency to focus on the specificity of the target culture.
The palimpsestuousness of adaptation in James Sturm and Guy Davis’ Unstable Molecules: The True Story of Comics’ Greatest Foursome
Authors: Herd Damon 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
This article examines the ways in which James Sturm and Guy Davis have adapted the superhero comic into a biographical comic, and how this process manifests itself in ‘palimpsests’ visible throughout the adaptation. Written by Sturm, and with art by Davis, Unstable Molecules: The True Story Of Comics’ Greatest Foursome (2003) depicts a day in the life of four people who are, according to Sturm’s conceit, the real life basis for the main characters in Marvel Comics’ The Fantastic Four. First published November 1961, The Fantastic Four marked the beginning of Marvel’s so-called ‘realistic’ depiction of superheroes. In Stan Lee’s words ‘they’d be flesh and blood, they’d have their faults and foibles, they’d be fallible and feisty, and – most important of all – inside their colorful, costumed booties they’d still have feet of clay’. Sturm presents the events in Unstable Molecules as if they actually happened with notes, biographies and a bibliography to back up his story. He extends Lee’s metaphor to show the characters not just as ‘flesh and blood’ with ‘feet of clay’ but also lacking any superpowers. In A Theory of Adaptation (2006), Linda Hutcheon discusses the ‘palimpsestuousness’ of adaptations. She describes this as the ‘oscillation between a past image and a present one’ that occurs when experiencing an adaptation with a prior knowledge of the work being adapted. To be aware of the original work is to be part of what Hutcheon calls the ‘knowing audience’. This article also questions whether Unstable Molecules relies on a ‘knowing audience’ having a familiarity with The Fantastic Four and whether an ‘unknowing audience’ might believe the book to be true.
Gamma radiolytic eradication of methoxychlor in aqueous media: the degradation pathways using HPLC and SPME-GC-MS
Authors: Butt Shahid Bilal , Zafar Amina , Riaz Muhammad 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
The gamma radiation-induced degradation of environmental pollutant methoxychlor in water was investigated. A 60Co gamma radiation source with a dose rate of 372 Gy h−1 was used for gamma irradiation of 1 mg L−1 and 10 mg L−1 methoxychlor in water with a varied absorbed dose of 1–5 kGy. A single step clean up and pre-concentration procedure based on solid phase micro-extraction was optimized. The extent of radiolytic degradation was monitored by reversed phase HPLC-UV and GC-ECD. The trace and ultra trace level degradation products were identified using GC-MS-SPME by comparing their mass spectra with the NIST 98 m mass spectral library. Most of the generated products for 4 kGy dose are substituted chlorophenols. The reaction pathways of these substituted chlorophenols and benzophenone formation are also proposed. However, generated chlorophenols disappeared along with methoxychlor for an absorbed dose of 5 kGy. The attained degradation of methoxychlor is ∼ 95% that reflects the potential use of ionization radiation for wastewater treatment.
Remarks on absolutely star countable spaces
Authors: Song Yan-Kui 
Published: July 2013

AbstractWe prove the following statements: (1) every Tychonoff linked-Lindelöf (centered-Lindelöf, star countable) space can be represented as a closed subspace in a Tychonoff pseudocompact absolutely star countable space; (2) every Hausdorff (regular, Tychonoff) linked-Lindelöf space can be represented as a closed G δ-subspace in a Hausdorff (regular, Tychonoff) absolutely star countable space; (3) there exists a pseudocompact absolutely star countable Tychonoff space having a regular closed subspace which is not star countable (hence not absolutely star countable); (4) assuming $$2^{\aleph _0 } = 2^{\aleph _1 }$$, there exists an absolutely star countable normal space having a regular closed subspace which is not star countable (hence not absolutely star countable).
Tubulin-interactive stilbene derivatives as anticancer agents
Authors: Mikstacka Renata , Stefański Tomasz , Różański Jakub 
Published: July 2013

AbstractMicrotubules are dynamic polymers that occur in eukaryotic cells and play important roles in cell division, motility, transport and signaling. They form during the process of polymerization of α- and β-tubulin dimers. Tubulin is a significant and heavily researched molecular target for anticancer drugs. Combretastatins are natural cis-stilbenes that exhibit cytotoxic properties in cultured cancer cells in vitro. Combretastatin A-4 (3′-hydroxy-3,4,4′, 5-tetramethoxy-cis-stilbene; CA-4) is a potent cytotoxic cis-stilbene that binds to β-tubulin at the colchicine-binding site and inhibits tubulin polymerization. The prodrug CA-4 phosphate is currently in clinical trials as a chemotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment. Numerous series of stilbene analogs have been studied in search of potent cytotoxic agents with the requisite tubulin-interactive properties. Microtubule-interfering agents include numerous CA-4 and transresveratrol analogs and other synthetic stilbene derivatives. Importantly, these agents are active in both tumor cells and immature endothelial cells of tumor blood vessels, where they inhibit the process of angiogenesis. Recently, computer-aided virtual screening was used to select potent tubulin-interactive compounds. This review covers the role of stilbene derivatives as a class of antitumor agents that act by targeting microtubule assembly dynamics. Additionally, we present the results of molecular modeling of their binding to specific sites on the α- and β-tubulin heterodimer. This has enabled the elucidation of the mechanism of stilbene cytotoxicity and is useful in the design of novel agents with improved anti-mitotic activity. Tubulin-interactive agents are believed to have the potential to play a significant role in the fight against cancer.

Lagrangian Relaxation and Linear Intersection Based QoS Routing Algorithm
Authors: Stachowiak Krzysztof , Zwierzykowski Piotr 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
Due to the process of network convergence, the variety of types of traffic transmitted over a single medium increases steeply. This phenomenon can be handled by the existing networking structure although the protocols that are used and, especially, the underlying routing protocols need to be improved. The problem of finding the shortest path on the Internet can no longer be easily defined as there is an increasing number of different characteristics to describe a point-to-point link. The definition of the shortest path may differ for different traffic types. Therefore, in the mathematical models used to solve the modern routing problems multiple criteria must be taken into account. One of the interesting classes of the optimization problem is the problem of finding the solution that is minimized against one of the criteria under certain constraints with regard to the others. In this paper, two algorithms solving this kind of problems are presented and compared with a new solution proposed by the authors.
Algorithm for Target Tracking Using Passive Radar
Authors: Malanowski Mateusz 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
In the paper the problem of target tracking in passive radar is addressed. Passive radar measures bistatic parameters of a target: bistatic range and bistatic velocity. The aim of the tracking algorithm is to convert the bistatic measurements into Cartesian coordinates. In the paper a two-stage tracking algorithm is presented, using bistatic and Cartesian tracking. In addition, a target localization algorithm is applied to initialize Cartesian tracks from bistatic measurements. The tracking algorithm is tested using simulated and real data. The real data were obtained from an FM-based passive radar called PaRaDe, developed at Warsaw University of Technology.

Microendoscopic decompression for cervical spondylotic myelopathy
Authors: Dahdaleh Nader S. , Wong Albert P. , Smith Zachary A. , Wong Ricky H. , Lam Sandi K. , Fessler Richard G. 
Published: July 2013

Object
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a common cervical degenerative disease that affects the elderly population. Spinal cord decompression is achieved through various anterior and posterior approaches including anterior cervical decompression and fusion, laminectomy, laminoplasty, and combined approaches. The authors describe another option, minimally invasive endoscopically assisted decompression of stenosis (MEDS), which obviates the need for muscle dissection and disruption of the posterior tension band, a cause of postlaminectomy kyphosis.

Methods
The authors conducted a retrospective study of 10 patients with CSM who underwent MEDS from January 2002 through July 2012. Data were collected on demographics, preoperative and postoperative Nurick scores, postoperative Odom scores, and preoperative and postoperative Cobb angles.

Results
The mean patient age (± SD) was 67 ± 7.7 years; 8 patients were male. The average number of disc levels operated on was 2.2 (range 1–4). The mean Nurick score was 1.6 ± 0.7 preoperatively and improved to 0.3 ± 0.7 postoperatively (p < 0.0005). The postoperative Odom scores indicated excellent outcomes for 4 patients, good for 3, fair for 2, and poor for 1. The average preoperative focal Cobb angle at the disc levels operated on was −0.43º ± 1.9º. The average Cobb angle at the last follow-up visit was 0.25° ± 1.6° (p = 0.6). The average follow-up time was 18.9 ± 32.1 months. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Conclusions
For selected patients with CSM, whose pathologic changes are primarily posterior and who have acceptable preoperative lordosis, MEDS is an alternative to open laminectomy and laminoplasty.
Morphologic and Functional Vessels Characteristics Assessed by Ultrasonography for Prediction of Radiocephalic Fistula Maturation
Authors: Jemcov Tamara K. 
Published: July 2013

Purpose Although native radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) is the best vascular access for hemodialysis (HD), a major obstacle to increase its use is high frequency of fistulas that fail to mature. The aim of this study was to investigate and define cut-off values of morphologic and functional vessel parameters influencing successful RCAVF maturation using ultrasound. Methods A prospective, observational study was performed on 122 patients (66 men) who underwent primary RCAVF creation. Internal diameters of cephalic vein (CVd) and radial artery (ARd), venous distensibility (VD), resistance index (RI) and endothelial function by flow mediated dilatation (FMD) were determined by ultrasound examination before AVF placement. AVF maturation was observed by measuring blood flow (Qa) and CVd 0, 14 and 28 days after creation. Depending on the time when AVFs attained maturity (Qa ≥500 mL/min, CVd ≥5 mm), patients were divided into three groups: (i) successful maturation (after four weeks), (ii) prolonged maturation (within eight weeks) and (iii) failure to mature. Results Only 11% of patients failed to achieve a mature RCAVF. Successful AVF maturation occurred in 53% of patients and prolonged maturation in 36% of patients. ROC analysis defined the limits of variables relevant for RCAVF success (CVd >1.8 mm, ARd >1.6 mm, VD >0.4 mm). Female sex was associated with prolonged maturation (OR 0.35, 95% CI=0.17-0.72; P=0.005) having a significantly smaller ARd (1.83 vs. 2.01 mm, P=0.01) but better FMD (2981.5 vs. 2689.5, P=0.02) compared to men. Conclusions ARd ≤1.6 mm, CVd ≤1.8 mm and VD ≤0.4 mm are exact cut-off points, which best predict nonmaturation of RCAVF. Women need extended time for adequately matured AVF.

Published: July 2013

The PhD is becoming more and more prevalent as a degree. However, PhD students are not adequately prepared for careers outside academia and most of them have trouble translating their skills to the job market. The biotech sector is a science-driven industry that is now mature and flourishing and requires business leaders that are technically trained. But technical skills are only a partial requirement, with in-depth industry education and knowledge being equally important. There is an inherent advantage to pursuing a PhD alongside education in management in the form of an advanced/professional masterâ€™s degree. This will allow PhDs to explore alternative careers outside academia.Â Â
Recent Advances in the Management of Hereditary Angioedema
Authors: Hemperly Stephen E. , Agarwal Niti Sardana , Xu Ying-Yang , Zhi Yu-Xiang , Craig Timothy J. 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic condition that manifests as painful and potentially life-threatening episodic attacks of cutaneous and submucosal swelling. It results from functional deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1 INH), which is a regulator of the complement, fibrinolytic, kinin (contact), and coagulation systems. In patients with HAE, the low plasma concentration of functional C1 INH leads to overactivation of the kinin cascade and local release of bradykinin. Bradykinin is responsible for the pain, vascular permeability changes, and edema associated with HAE. Until recently, therapeutic options for HAE have been very limited. Many new therapies have emerged, however, such as C1 INH replacement drugs and medications aimed at components of the contact system (eg, plasma kallikrein inhibitor and bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist). The authors review current and novel treatments for patients with HAE.
