Authors: Blankley Gaynor , Galbally Megan , Snellen Martien , Power Josephine , Lewis Andrew J 
Published: July 2015

Objective: This study examines pregnancy and early infant outcomes of pregnant women with a clinical diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder presenting for obstetric services to a major metropolitan maternity hospital in Victoria, Australia. Method: A retrospective case review of pregnancy and early infant outcomes on 42 women who had been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder via psychiatric assessment using DSM-IV-R criteria was undertaken. Outcomes were compared with a control group of 14,313 consisting of women and infants of non-affected women from the same hospital over the same period of time. Results: Women presenting for obstetric services with a clinical diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder experienced considerable psychosocial impairment. They anticipated birth as traumatic and frequently requested early delivery. High comorbidity with substance abuse was found and high rates of referral to child protective services. Mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder were significantly more likely to have negative birth outcomes such as lowered Apgar scores, prematurity and special care nursery referral when compared with controls. Conclusions: These findings offer preliminary evidence to be considered by clinicians in developing treatments and services for the perinatal care of women with Borderline Personality Disorder and their infants. Further research is required in order to develop evidence informed clinical guidelines for the management of women with Borderline Personality Disorder and their infants.

Backround Stroke is a frequent disorder in patients with an antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Due to a high risk for further thromboembolic events, appropriate anticoagulation therapy in patients with an APS-associated stroke seems mandatory but drug eluting and duration is a matter of debate. Case A 48-year-old female patient presented with Broca’s aphasia and mild hemiparesis on the right side. Diagnostic work-up revealed left middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion yet without diffusion-weighted lesions. Due to a thrombocytopenia (67.00 g/l) systemic thrombolysis was not indicated and endovascular treatment was initiated 150 min after symptom onset. After successful clot retrieval, recurrent re-occlusions lead to the necessity of stent implantation and anticoagulation, respectively. On day 5 she developed a new severe right-sided hemiparesis. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a subtotal restenosis of the left MCA despite the regular anticoagulation regime leading to a new left MCA ischaemic stroke. In the meantime, the unknown aetiology, the patients’ age and the thrombocytopenia let to further diagnostic workup. Elevated blood parameters such as lupus anticoagulant (LA)-1, LA-ratio, positive anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), p-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), c-ANCA confirmed the diagnosis of APS. Conclusion This case report showed the feasibility of mechanical clot retrieval and stent implantation in patients with APS. Due to the elevated risk of in-stent thrombosis a prolonged therapy with glycoprotein (GP)IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists in the initial postoperative period and further anticoagulation with coumarin derivate might be needed.

Published: July 2015

Background: Restaurant eating while optimizing nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight is challenging. Even when nutritional information is available, consumers often consider only calories. A quick and easy method to rate both caloric density and nutrition is an unmet need. A food rating system created to address that need is assessed in this study. Methods: The food rating system categorizes food items into 3 color-coded categories: most healthy (green), medium healthy (yellow), or least healthy (red) based on calorie density and general nutritional quality from national guidelines. Nutritional information was downloaded from 20 popular fast-food chains. Nutritional assessments and the 3 color coded categories were compared using the Wilcoxon and Median tests to demonstrate the significance of nutrition differences. Results: Green foods were significantly lower than yellow foods, which in turn were significantly lower than red foods, for calories and calories from fat, in addition to content of total fat, saturated fat and carbohydrates per 100 g serving weight (all P < .02). The green foods had significantly lower cholesterol than the yellow ( P = .0006) and red ( P < .0001) foods. Yellow foods had less sugar than red foods ( P < .0001). Yellow foods were significantly higher in dietary fiber than red foods ( P = .001). Conclusion: The food rating color-coded system identifies food items with superior nutrition, and lower caloric density. The smartphone app, incorporating the system, has the potential to improve nutrition; reduce the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke; and improve public health.

Published: July 2015

Background: Early detection of exercise in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may allow changes in therapy to prevent hypoglycemia. Currently there is limited experience with automated methods that detect the onset and end of exercise in this population. We sought to develop a novel method to quickly and reliably detect the onset and end of exercise in these individuals before significant changes in blood glucose (BG) occur. Methods: Sixteen adults with T1DM were studied as outpatients using a diary, accelerometer, heart rate monitor, and continuous glucose monitor for 2 days. These data were used to develop a principal component analysis based exercise detection method. Subjects also performed 60 and 30 minute exercise sessions at 30% and 50% predicted heart rate reserve (HRR), respectively. The detection method was applied to the exercise sessions to determine how quickly the detection of start and end of exercise occurred relative to change in BG. Results: Mild 30% HRR and moderate 50% HRR exercise onset was identified in 6 ± 3 and 5 ± 2 (mean ± SD) minutes, while completion was detected in 3 ± 8 and 6 ± 5 minutes, respectively. BG change from start of exercise to detection time was 1 ± 6 and −1 ± 3 mg/dL, and, from the end of exercise to detection time was 6 ± 4 and −17 ± 13 mg/dL, respectively, for the 2 exercise sessions. False positive and negative ratios were 4 ± 2% and 21 ± 22%. Conclusions: The novel method for exercise detection identified the onset and end of exercise in approximately 5 minutes, with an average BG change of only −6 mg/dL.

Background: The Predictive Hypoglycemia Minimizer System (“Hypo Minimizer”), consisting of a zone model predictive controller (the “controller”) and a safety supervision module (the “safety module”), aims to mitigate hypoglycemia by preemptively modulating insulin delivery based on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurements. The “aggressiveness factor,” a pivotal variable in the system, governs the speed and magnitude of the controller’s insulin dosing characteristics in response to changes in CGM levels. Methods: Twelve adults with type 1 diabetes were studied in closed-loop in a clinical research center for approximately 24 hours. This analysis focused primarily on the effect of the aggressiveness factor on the automated insulin-delivery characteristics of the controller, and secondarily on the glucose control results. Results: As aggressiveness increased from “conservative” to “medium” to “aggressive,” the controller recommended less insulin (–3.3% vs –14.4% vs –19.5% relative to basal) with a higher frequency (5.3% vs 14.4% vs 20.3%) during the critical times when the CGM was reading 90-120 mg/dl and decreasing. Blood glucose analyses indicated that the most aggressive setting resulted in the most desirable combination of the least time spent <70 mg/dl and the most time spent 70-180 mg/dl, particularly in the overnight period. Hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe hypoglycemia did not occur with any of the aggressiveness values. Conclusion: The Hypo Minimizer’s controller took preemptive action to prevent hypoglycemia based on predicted changes in CGM glucose levels. The most aggressive setting was quickest to take action to reduce insulin delivery below basal and achieved the best glucose metrics.

Background and Purpose: The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a common and resource-intensive measure of functional outcome in stroke-related conditions. In this observational prospective cohort feasibility study, mRS scores are generated using a patient-powered online survey and compared to scores obtained by structured telephonic interview. Materials and Methods: Fifty-one patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or their surrogates responded to an online survey following discharge from the hospital. These responses were used to generate an mRS score and then compared to blinded telephonic assessments by trained personnel. A weighted kappa (Kw) with confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated. Results: The Kw between the patient/surrogate and the trained personnel scores was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.74-0.95, P < .001). Conclusion: This study provides first evidence that patient/surrogate survey responses may be an efficient and reliable alternative to generate mRS scores compared to trained personnel after SAH.

Published: July 2015

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) instrumentation and implant designs have been evolving, with one of the current innovations being patient-specific implants (PSIs). Purpose To evaluate whether there is a significant difference in surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative range of motion, and length of stay between PSI and conventional TKA. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods A consecutive series of 621 TKA patients, 307 with PSIs and 314 with conventional implants, was reviewed. Differences in estimated blood loss, length of stay, range of motion, and surgical time/tourniquet time between the 2 cohorts were analyzed. Results Linear regression analysis demonstrated that PSI decreased estimated blood loss by 44.72 mL ( P < .01), decreased length of stay by 0.39 days ( P < .01), decreased postoperative range of motion by 3.90° ( P < .01), and had a negligible difference on surgical and tourniquet time. Conclusion The use of PSI is associated with decreased estimated blood loss, decreased length of stay, decreased range of motion, and no discernible difference in surgical or tourniquet time, all of which are unlikely to be clinically significant.

Published: July 2015

Abstract
Biofunctionalized magnetic nanoparticles (BMNs) that provide unique advantages have been extensively used to develop immunoassay methods. However, these developed magnetic methods have been used only for specific immunoassays and not in studies of magnetic characteristics of materials. In this study, a common vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) was used for the measurement of the hysteresis loop for different carcinoembryonic antigens (CEA) concentrations (Φ
CEA) based on the synthesized BMNs with anti-CEA coating. Additionally, magnetic parameters such as magnetization (M), remanent magnetization (M
R), saturation magnetization (M
S), and normalized parameters (ΔM
R/M
R and ΔM
S/M
S) were studied. Here, ΔM
R and ΔM
s were defined as the difference between any ΦCEA and zero Φ
CEA. The parameters M, ΔM
R, and ΔM
S increased with Φ
CEA, and ΔM
S showed the largest increase. Magnetic clusters produced by the conjugation of the BMNs to CEAs showed a ΔM
S greater than that of BMNs. Furthermore, the relationship between ΔM
S/M
S and Φ
CEA could be described by a characteristic logistic function, which was appropriate for assaying the amount of CEAs. This analytic ΔM
S/M
S and the BMNs used in general magnetic immunoassays can be used for upgrading the functions of the VSM and for studying the magnetic characteristics of materials.

AbstractBackgroundIt is important to evaluate dynamic changes in the joint space width of the ankle mortise in detail in order to better understand the pathology of foot and ankle disorders. However, there are few reports on changes in the joint space width of the foot and ankle assessed using 3D images. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in the joint space width of the ankle (tibiotalar joint) in association with dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the ankle joint in healthy feet.MethodsComputed tomography (CT) images of 10 healthy feet were obtained in the neutral, plantarflexed and dorsiflexed positions of the ankle joint, from which 3D virtual models were fabricated of the tibia, fibula and talus. The 3D joint space width in these models was calculated using a custom made software program.ResultsThe joint space width increased in the order of dorsiflexion, neutral position and plantar flexion. Regarding the amount of change in dorsiflexion and plantar flexion relative to the neutral position, there were no significant differences in the middle‐middle position. On the other hand, there were highly significant differences in the medial‐anterior, medial‐middle and medial‐posterior positions.ConclusionsThe joint space width of the ankle joint can be calculated accurately using 3D reconstruction images. Our findings should assist in clarifying pathology associated with movement of the ankle during the gait cycle based on changes in the joint space width in feet exhibiting disorders.

Published: July 2015

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) training and conventional physical therapy on spatiotemporal gait parameters, functional mobility and activities of daily living (ADL) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: A pretest–posttest control group design was used. In this 3-week trial, 24 children with spastic CP were randomly selected to either continue their physical therapy or to receive WBV in addition to their physical therapy programme. Gait analyses, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) were conducted before and after training. Results: For spatiotemporal gait parameters, this study found statistically significant differences in the WBV group's walking speed (p = 0.002), step length of the affected side (p = 0.021) and step width (p = 0.007) pre- and post-training. Between the two groups, there was a statistically significant difference in step width (F = 5.326, p = 0.031) and significant improvements in the WBV group's TUG scores (p = 0.039) compared with the control group. According to the results of WeeFIM, there were no significant differences between the two groups after training. Conclusions: Administration of WBV training to children with CP in conjunction with conventional physical therapy leads to improvements in functional mobility.
Patrick Kelly: Fashions’ great black hope
Authors: Lewis Van Dyk , Fraley Keith A. 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
When blackness is received by an industrial cultural organization it is subject to degradation of meaning and effect. Black designers wishing to operate in the upper echelons of the fashion industry must reconnoiter their positions by employing self-sabotage and offer less potent versions of operational blackness. This article unpacks how blackness is operated and mythologized within the Parisian fashion system. The authors investigate Patrick Kelly’s passage from obscurity to prominence as being in keeping with the Hegelian master–slave dialectic. The importance of this unpacking is timely as black fashion designers are increasingly breaching an exclusion zone that placed them formally outside the mainstream fashion system.
Dump it out! An enquiry into consumers’ everyday fashion discourses through handbag
Authors: Lam Magnum , Lam Yee-Nee , Liu Wing-Sun 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Handbag is an iconic fashion accessory in our material culture. Following the tradition of representational thinking, this article introduces the handbag as an epistemic consumption object through which to investigate consumer experiences, practices and identity construction in relation to everyday lived discourses. The handbag research involves an examination of participants’ personal belongings inside their bags together with phenomenological interviews concerning the associated subjective experiences along with these material objects. We demonstrate how these material possessions become the subject of the research that facilitates multiple conversations between researchers and participants as to introspect, evaluate and interpret the significance of symbolic consumption in their everyday life. This study contributes to proposing a systematic way of employing interpretive research methodology in the studies of material culture; in addition, this study on the handbag can act as an inspiration for others in identifying emerging themes and topics into symbolism in popular culture.
Real men wear nothing: Talking porn, perversities and what it takes to be a ‘Macho Man’ today with Jeff Stryker
Authors: Khan Ali 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Jeff Stryker was arguably one of the biggest male porn stars the industry has ever seen. Known for his uniquely dominant and vocal style, Jeff Stryker starred in over 30 adult features that covered genres as diverse as ‘straight’, ‘bisexual’ and ‘gay’. His popularity as a porn star led to a crossover career in modelling that included stints with such legendary designers as Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier. As the porn industry goes through an uneasy transition over the last decade thanks to the communication revolution, we sit down with Jeff to get his thoughts on everything from the current state of the porn industry, its links with fashion and how it influences contemporary masculinity.
No Fun: The Queer Potential of Video Games that Annoy, Anger, Disappoint, Sadden, and Hurt
Authors: Ruberg Bonnie 
Published: July 2015

Abstract
Game designers and scholars alike commonly claim that video games should be first and foremost fun. At the same time, in reactionary corners of gamer culture, the argument that games should be “just for fun” is shutting down discourse around diversity. However, there is much more to video games than fun. It can be argued that video games are the twenty-first century’s most influential art form, and they can and do engender a wide range of feelings, from joy to sadness, annoyance to rage. Although some researchers, such as ludologist Jesper Juul, have acknowledged the prevalence of unpleasant moments in video-game play, they often make sense of these difficult experiences by reframing them as stepping stones on the road to happiness. In this article, I argue for a different approach to affect in video games, one that focuses on experiences that are “no fun.” Drawing from writing by queer theorist Jack Halberstam, I demonstrate how no-fun emotions disrupt accepted paradigms of video games and heteronormative pleasures more broadly. I conclude with a series of examples of no-fun games that illustrate how affect can communicate meaning as effectively and diversely as a game’s content, and how looking at games that go beyond fun creates new space for players, games, and queer worlds at the margins.
