OBJECTIVES:
Evaluate safety and efficacy of filtered-sunlight phototherapy (FS-PT).

METHODS:
Term/late preterm infants ≤14 days old with clinically significant jaundice, assessed by total bilirubin (TB) levels, were recruited from a maternity hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. Sunlight was filtered with commercial window-tinting films that remove most UV and significant levels of infrared light and transmit effective levels of therapeutic blue light. After placing infants under an FS-PT canopy, hourly measurements of axillary temperatures, monitoring for sunburn, dehydration, and irradiances of filtered sunlight were performed. Treatment was deemed safe and efficacious if infants were able to stay in FS-PT for ≥5 hours and rate of rise of TB was &lt;0.2 mg/dL/h for infants ≤72 hours of age or TB decreased for infants &gt;72 hours of age.

RESULTS:
A total of 227 infants received 258 days of FS-PT. No infant developed sunburn or dehydration. On 85 (33%) of 258 treatment days, infants were removed briefly from FS-PT due to minor temperature-related adverse events. No infant met study exit criteria. FS-PT was efficacious in 92% (181/197) of evaluable treatment days. Mean ± SD TB change was –0.06 ± 0.19 mg/dL/h. The mean ± SD (range) irradiance of FS-PT was 38 ± 22 (2–115) µW/cm2/nm, measured by the BiliBlanket Meter II.

CONCLUSIONS:
With appropriate monitoring, filtered sunlight is a novel, practical, and inexpensive method of PT that potentially offers safe and efficacious treatment strategy for management of neonatal jaundice in tropical countries where conventional PT treatment is not available.

Abstract
Objective—To determine the pharmacokinetics of hydromorphone hydrochloride after IV and IM administration in American kestrels (Falco sparverius).
Animals—12 healthy adult American kestrels.
Procedures—A single dose of hydromorphone (0.6 mg/kg) was administered IM (pectoral muscles) and IV (right jugular vein); the time between IM and IV administration experiments was 1 month. Blood samples were collected at 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours (n = 4 birds); 0.25, 1.5, and 9 hours (4); and 0.5, 2, and 6 hours (4) after drug administration. Plasma hydromorphone concentrations were determined by means of liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with a noncompartmental model. Mean plasma hydromorphone concentration for each time was determined with naïve averaged pharmacokinetic analysis.
Results—Plasma hydromorphone concentrations were detectable in 2 and 3 birds at 6 hours after IM and IV administration, respectively, but not at 9 hours after administration. The fraction of the hydromorphone dose absorbed after IM administration was 0.75. The maximum observed plasma concentration was 112.1 ng/mL (5 minutes after administration). The terminal half-life was 1.25 and 1.26 hours after IV and IM administration, respectively.
Conclusion and Clinical Relevance—Results indicated hydromorphone hydrochloride had high bioavailability and rapid elimination after IM administration, with a short terminal half-life, rapid plasma clearance, and large volume of distribution in American kestrels. Further studies regarding the effects of other doses, other administration routes, constantrate infusions, and slow release formulations on the pharmacokinetics of hydromorphone hydrochloride and its metabolites in American kestrels may be indicated.

Abstract
Objective—To compare the 3-D motion of the pelvic limb among clinically normal dogs and dogs with cranial cruciate ligament (CCL)–deficient stifle joints following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) or lateral fabellar–tibial suture (LFS) stabilization by use of an inverse dynamics method.
Animals—6 clinically normal dogs and 19 dogs with CCL-deficient stifle joints that had undergone TPLO (n = 13) or LFS (6) stabilization at a mean of 4 and 8 years, respectively, prior to evaluation.
Procedures—For all dogs, an inverse dynamics method was used to describe the motion of the pelvic limbs in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. Motion and energy patterns for the hip, stifle, and tibiotarsal (hock) joints in all 3 planes were compared among the 3 groups.
Results—Compared with corresponding variables for clinically normal dogs, the hip joint was more extended at the beginning of the stance phase in the sagittal plane for dogs that had a TPLO performed and the maximum power across the stifle joint in the frontal plane was greater for dogs that had an LFS procedure performed. Otherwise, variables in all planes were similar among the 3 groups.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Gait characteristics of the pelvic limb did not differ between dogs that underwent TPLO and dogs that underwent an LFS procedure for CCL repair and were similar to those of clinically normal dogs. Both TPLO and LFS successfully provided long-term stabilization of CCL-deficient stifle joints of dogs with minimal alterations in gait.

Published: May 2014

Abstract
Objective—To assess kinetic 2-([18F]fluoro)-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18FDG) uptake in the brain of anesthetized healthy adult dogs by use of positron emission tomography (PET) and to determine whether 18FDG uptake differs among anatomic regions of the brain.
Animals—5 healthy Beagles.
Procedures—Each isoflurane-anesthetized dog was administered 18FDG IV (dose range, 3.0 to 5.2 mCi), and PET data were acquired for 2 hours. A CT scan (without contrast agent administration) was performed to allow more precise neuroanatomic localization. Defined regions of interest within the brain were drawn on reconstructed image data. Standard uptake values (SUVs) for 18FDG were calculated to generate time-activity curves and determine time to peak uptake.
Results—Time-activity curve analysis identified 4 regional uptake patterns: olfactory, gray matter, white matter, and other (brainstem, cerebellum, and occipital and frontal regions). The highest maximum SUVs were identified in the olfactory bulbs and cerebral gray matter, and the lowest maximum SUV was identified in cerebral white matter. Mean time to peak uptake ranged from 37.8 minutes in white matter to 82.7 minutes in the olfactory bulbs.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Kinetic analysis of 18FDG uptake revealed differences in uptake values among anatomic areas of the brain in dogs. These data provide a baseline for further investigation of 18FDG uptake in dogs with immune-mediated inflammatory brain disease and suggest that 18FDG-PET scanning has potential use for antemortem diagnosis without histologic analysis and for monitoring response to treatment. In clinical cases, a 1-hour period of PET scanning should provide sufficient pertinent data.

Published: May 2014

SummaryDiagnostic blood samples collected by phlebotomy are the most common type of biological specimens drawn and sent to laboratory medicine facilities for being analyzed, thus supporting caring physicians in patient diagnosis, follow-up and/or therapeutic monitoring. Phlebotomy, a relatively invasive medical procedure, is indeed critical for the downstream procedures accomplished either in the analytical phase made in the laboratory or in the interpretive process done by the physicians. Diagnosis, management, treatment of patients and ultimately patient safety itself can be compromised by poor phlebotomy quality. We have read with interest a recent article where the authors addressed important aspects of venous blood collection for laboratory medicine analysis. The authors conducted a phlebotomy survey based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) H03-A6 document (presently replaced by the GP41-A6 document) in three government hospitals in Ethiopia to evaluate 120 professionals (101 non-laboratory professionals vs. 19 laboratory professionals) as regards the venous blood collection practice. The aim of this mini (non-systematic) review is to both take a cue from the above article and from current practices we had already observed in other laboratory settings, and discuss four questionable activities performed by health care professionals during venous blood collection. We refer to: i) diet restriction assessment; ii) puncture site cleansing; iii) timing of tourniquet removal and; iv) mixing specimen with additives
Hypercalcemia in a patient with SLE and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome: a rare case report from Bangladesh
Authors: Dewan G 
Published: May 2014

Association of hypercalcemia with SLE is very rare. Since initial report in 1991 only hand full cases have been described mainly in adult patients sporadically. Three pattern observed in this rare presentation. Commonly it is associated with serositis and lymphadenopathy or lymphedema known as hypercalcemia-lymphadenopathy SLE {HL-SLE) or hypercalcemia- lymphedema syndrome. Second group do not show this particular association. Concomitant primary hyperparathyroidism is responsible for third variety. This report describes a case of hypercalcemia associated with SLE from Bangladesh.

Nursing education in future perspective
Authors: Jose P 
Published: May 2014

Trends in health care suggest changes in nursing practice and implications for nursing education. Changing demographics, emphasis on health promotion, health care costs, movement toward community-based care, and expanding technology are factors that shape the health care system of the future and educational preparation of nurses. Faculties are faced with preparing students for future practice that will be more complex and specialized than it is now; will be provided in multiple settings; and will require extensive knowledge, critical thinking and other cognitive skills, technologic and psychomotor skills, and a value system for making ethical decisions. Outcomes of nursing education program include learning to learn, handling ambiguity, thinking like a professional, and accepting responsibility for decisions made in practice. For nursing to assume a central role in the health care system of tomorrow, reform in nursing education is needed today.

Vérité, réalité et sincérité dans Tristram Shandy
Authors: Dromart Anne 
Published: May 2014

En s’élevant contre l’hypocrisie à plusieurs reprises dans Tristram Shandy,
Laurence Sterne semble proposer une version littéraire et ludique de la distinction proposée par Locke entre truth of thought, et truth of words
(ECHU 4.5). Mais lorsque Tristram explique qu’il juge plus pardonnable de négliger la vérité que la beauté tout en faisant en sorte que le lecteur mette sa sincérité en doute, il s’interroge alors sur les attentes de tout lecteur de fiction. Le jeu sur la valeur référentielle du langage et sa capacité à dire le vrai, permet de voir que Sterne propose une réflexion sur ce qu’est la vérité et comment l’atteindre.
Tâches et énoncés complexes chez l'enfant : Jugements sémantiques et flexibilité dans le développement typique et le syndrome d'Asperger

Published: May 2014

Dans le domaine de l’acquisition du langage, les données concernant la production ou le traitement des énoncés non conventionnels se rapportant à des actions sont peu nombreuses. Dans le domaine ciblé du syndrome d’Asperger, d’une part, les études rapportent les difficultés des enfants à saisir ce type d’énoncés et, d’autre part, peu d’observations sont disponibles sur leurs capacités à traiter des tâches métalinguistiques réputées complexes du fait de la distance réflexive qu’elles impliquent sur les phénomènes langagiers (Authier-Revuz, 1995). Dans ce contexte, notre étude propose une description qualitative des performances d’un petit groupe d’enfants avec syndrome d’Asperger et d’un petit groupe d’enfants au développement typique, qui sont placés en situation de jugements sémantiques à partir de trois types d’énoncés : conventionnel, approximatif ou incongru.
Comparaison de phénomènes complexes en italien et en français chez des adolescents bilingues et monolingues : focus sur le texte narratif
Authors: Giuliano Patrizia 
Published: May 2014

L’étude traite de la gestion de phénomènes syntaxiques et textuels complexes par des sujets bilingues (italien/français) lors de la production d’une tâche narrative orale. Le bilinguisme de nos informateurs est précoce car l’intervention de la deuxième langue, le français, remonte à l’âge de trois ans à peu près. Nos informateurs sont divisés en trois groupes : un groupe de 10 sujets bilingues interviewés auprès de l’École Française de Naples, et deux groupes monolingues de contrôle, c’est-à-dire de référence pour l’évaluation des productions linguistiques des bilingues, l’un formé par 10 sujets francophones, l’autre par 10 sujets italophones, interviewés, respectivement, en France (Avignon) et en Italie (Naples). La tâche proposée correspond à la narration à partir d’un court-métrage tiré du film Les Temps Modernes de Charlie Chaplin, que tous nos sujets ont rapporté, individuellement, à un interlocuteur qui n’avait pas vu l’extrait. Notre analyse vise à éclaircir la manière dont les trois groupes d’informateurs gèrent : (a) la complexité syntaxique, en tant qu’expression de la manière d’organiser et de hiérarchiser le contenu narratif ; (b) les relations causales, finales et chronologiques entre les événements, à savoir les facteurs qui structurent la complexité sémantique et textuelle d’une narration ; (c) la référence aux entités animées et inanimées, sans lesquelles une narration ne peut pas se produire. Les questions théoriques que nous avons soulevées sont les suivantes : Est-ce que les sujets bilingues ont recours, dans l’une aussi bien que dans l’autre langue, aux mêmes types de phénomènes complexes mobilisés par les sujets monolingues des deux langues en question ? La présence de difficultés ou de simplifications éventuelles est-elle liée au degré de complexité des phénomènes linguistiques en question ou à d’autres facteurs (cognitifs, interactionnels...) ? Les narrations en italien aussi bien qu’en français des sujets bilingues ont permis une comparaison avec les narrations des deux groupes de locuteurs natifs. Les productions de nos adolescents bilingues montrent quelques phénomènes de simplification mais pas de défaillances importantes dans aucune des langues qu’ils connaissent et emploient de façon quotidienne. Les différences identifiées dans leurs narrations, par rapport aux monolingues, se situent, en outre, au niveau de la langue et pas au niveau cognitif ou interactionnel.
Apprenants italophones aux prises avec le système de la détermination, de la passivation, et de l'ordre des mots du français. Est-ce un problème de complexité ?
Authors: Gerolimich Sonia 
Published: May 2014

Dans le domaine de l’acquisition des langues étrangères on tend parfois à mettre sur le même plan complexité et difficulté. Nous nous proposons d’examiner comment se recoupent ces deux notions à travers des productions d’apprenants italophones de français de niveau avancé. Pour ce faire, nous nous penchons plus spécifiquement sur les domaines de la détermination, du passif et de l’ordre des mots, qui peuvent être considérés comme complexes à des degrés différents dans les deux langues et qui s’avèrent être des sources de difficultés pour les apprenants italophones. Nous montrons au terme de cette étude que ce n’est pas la complexité inhérente d’une langue qui est en cause mais l’écart conceptuel d’une langue par rapport à une autre. Il ressort que la difficulté des apprenants est corrélée à une difficulté de traitement, ces derniers devant « déconstruire pour reconstruire », afin d’arriver à comprendre et à intégrer les schèmes conceptuels préférentiels de la langue cible.

Sleep Patterns of Hospitalized and Nonhospitalized Aged Individuals
Authors: Pacini Christine M , Fitzpatrick Joyce J 
Published: May 2014

Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the sleep patterns of hospitalized and nonhospitalized aged individuals. Of primary interest was the change of environment that occurs with hospitalization. Differences in quantitative and qualitative measures of sleep patterns between the two groups were predicted. The sample consisted of 38 individuals between the ages of 60 and 82, half of whom were hospitalized in an acute care facility and half of whom resided in their own homes or homes of relatives or friends. Measures of sleep patterns were obtained from self-recorded sleep pattern questionnaires and sleep charts. Significant differences between groups were found for the following variables: nocturnal sleep time, other sleep time, bedtime, and time of awakening. Hospitalized individuals recorded less nocturnal sleep time, more "other" sleep time, and went to bed and awakened earlier. Further analysis indicated that state of mind, state of fatigue, and health status contributed to these differences, and that the independent variable (hospitalization) alone was not responsible for the findings.

Authors: Artul Suheil , Habib George 
Published: May 2014

Objectives:To document the prevalence and spectrum of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) findings at different parts of the foot.Materials and Methods:All MSKUS studies conducted on the foot during a 2-year period (2012-2013) at the Department of Radiology were reviewed. Demographic parameters including age, gender, and MSKUS findings were documented.Results:Three hundred and sixty-four studies had been conducted in the 2-year period. Ninety-three MSKUS evaluations were done for the ankle, 30 studies for the heel, and 241 for the rest of the foot. The most common MSKUS finding at the ankle was tenosynovitis, mostly in female patients; at the heel it was Achilles tendonitis, also mostly in female patients; and for the rest of the foot it was fluid collection and presence of foreign body, mainly in male patients. The number of different MSKUS abnormalities that were reported was 9 at the ankle, 9 at the heel, and 21 on the rest of the foot.Conclusions:MSKUS has the potential for revealing a huge spectrum of abnormalities. The most common finding was collection/hematoma and foreign bodies at the foot, tenosynovitis at the ankle, and Achilles tendinitis at the heel.

Published: May 2014

ABSTRACT
Opacification of the maxillary sinus was first published by Montgomery in the precomputerized era. The term silent sinus syndrome (SSS) was first used by Soparkar et al2 in 1994. They defined an uncommon disease characterized by enophthalmos secondary to ipsilateral atelectasis of the maxillary sinus, even without nasal symptoms. The pathophysiology of SSS was demonstrated by Eto et al in 1993. In this report, we are presenting a case of silent sinus syndrome in a girl of pediatric age group, an unusual age of presentation.

An Argument for States to Outlaw 'Revenge Porn' and for Congress to Amend 47 U.S.C. §230: How Our Current Laws Do Little to Protect Victims
Authors: Martinez Casey 
Published: May 2014

This note examines the intersection of law and technology as it relates to the issue of revenge porn. Revenge porn comes in many forms but most commonly refers to the online posting of sexually explicit photos or videos of past lovers, without their consent, after the relationship has ended. The author explains how the current legal framework has left many victims without legal recourse to punish those who have posted their intimate photos or videos without consent, and few options to have their images removed from the internet once they have been posted. The note argues that in order to protect victims, states should make laws to criminalize the posting of revenge porn and the Communications Decency Act should be amended to give victims the power to have their images removed from websites.
Le marketing est-il soluble dans la très petite entreprise ?
Authors: Pacitto Jean-Claude , Julien Pierre-André 
Published: May 2014

Les toutes petites entreprises (TPE) ne manifestent à l’égard du marketing qu’un intérêt limité. Cette réticence ne doit pourtant pas être interprétée comme une résistance au changement ou la simple persistance d’un référent trop traditionnel en matière de gestion ; elle provient de comportements particuliers, notamment d’une relation particulière qu’entretiennent les TPE avec leurs clients et leur environnement. Cette relation se structure autour de la notion de proximité, proximité tant géographique que relationnelle et culturelle. Cette proximité aboutit à une relativisation d’un objectif important du marketing, soit la conquête de nouvelles clientèles.
À l’aide d’une enquête auprès de 376 TPE françaises, nous avons analysé les différentes raisons de cette réticence. Nous avons comparé cette enquête à d’autres études de même type. Les résultats confirment que les TPE dédaignent certaines pratiques de marketing sans toutefois délaisser d’autres formes de liens forts avec leurs clients. C’est en examinant ces liens que l’on sera le plus à même de proposer des solutions commerciales et de marketing adaptées à ces entreprises.
