ABSTRACT

Objectives
We present our 3 years experience with alar batten grafts, using a modified technique, for non-iatrogenic nasal valve/alar collapse.

Methods
Retrospective (Oct. 2005 to Apr. 2008) and prospective study (Apr. 2008 to Dec. 2008) of 16 consecutive patients undergoing alar batten grafts for alar collapse causing nasal obstruction. The graft was inserted through a rim incision and placed across as well as superficial to the lower lateral cartilage. The main outcome measures were subjective improvement in nasal obstruction and absence of alar collapse at examination.

Results
Alar collapse was bilateral (n = 8), right sided (n = 4) and left sided (n = 4) giving 24 operated sides (s = 24). Deviated nasal septum (n = 9), synechiae (n = 1) and drooping tip (n = 1) were also present. Donor sites for the graft were septal cartilage (n = 10), conchal cartilage (n = 4) or both septal and conchal cartilages (n = 2). The median follow-up was 4 months (range 1 month to 3 years). Subjective nasal obstruction had worsened in 0%, was unchanged in 16.6% (s = 4), had improved in 16.6% (s = 4) and 66.6% (s = 16) were completely free of obstruction. Two of the improved cases worsened at 10 and 3 years giving overall failure in 25% (s = 6). Significant alar collapse was present in all failed cases and absence of collapse was documented in improved cases (s = 13). In failed cases the graft size width was 5 to 8 mm and in successful cases it was 10 to 15 mm. Lengths of the grafts in all cases was between 18 and 24 mm. One complication of graft extrusion through skin occurred.

Conclusion
Our technique of alar batten graft insertion appears to be as effective as other techniques described in the literature. We suggest a minimum graft size of 10 mm width and 18 mm length to improve success rate.
Coexistent Optic Neuritis and Isolated Acute Sphenoid Sinusitis
Authors: Kumar Mahesh , Rajiniganth MG , Kim Usha R 
Published: June 2010

Abstract
We report two cases of optic neuritis associated with isolated acute sphenoid sinusitis. This is the first report of isolated sphenoid sinusitis with dehiscent optic canal with exposed nerve presented with optic neuritis without any orbital inflammation. In both cases visual acuity deteriorated with steroid therapy, CT scan showed air fluid in the sphenoid sinus with dehiscent optic canal. Antibiotic, sphenoidotomy and later steroid course had a partial recovery in vision.

Abstract
Optic nerve sheath dilatation forming a cyst containing cerebrospinal fliud (CSF) is a rare condition. It is actually an enlargement and dilation of primarily the optic nerve sheath. There is an expansion of the cerebrospinal fliud space around the optic nerve with no associated inflammation, orbital or cerebral neoplasm at the apex of the orbit. It is a very rare condition and only few cases have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of optic nerve meningocele which was successfully managed surgically through intranasal route. A brief review of the existing literature is also presented.

Published: June 2010

AbstractNasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common disorder which clinically manifests as epiphora. Many procedures have been described to bypass this obstruction, for example external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), endoscopic DCR with and without stents, Laser endoscopic DCR. Each of these procedures has its own success rates and complications. We did an analysis of all laser assisted endonasal DCR performed in our department from Feb 2006 to July 2009. In all we had operated 237 total cases out of which 203 were with normal endonasal DCR and 34 cases were Laser transcanalicular endonasal DCR (Laser DCR). Over all success rate was 92%(218 cases). In case of Laser assisted endonasal DCR the success rate was 70.3% (19 cases) with failure rate of 29.7% (8 cases) at three months follow-up. This preliminary study reveals that LASER DCR is associated with higher failure rates as compared to the normal endonasal DCR.

Published: June 2010

AbstractA cationic and water‐soluble polythiophene [poly[3‐(6‐pyridiniumylhexyl)thiophene bromide] (P3PHT+Br−)] is synthesized and used in combination with anionic poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(p‐styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)− to produce hybrid coatings on indium tin oxide (ITO). Two coating strategies are established: i) electrostatic layer‐by‐layer assembly with colloidal suspensions of (PEDOT:PSS)−, and ii) modification of an electrochemically prepared (PEDOT:PSS)− film on ITO. The coatings are found to modify the work function of ITO such that it could act as a cathode in inverted 2,5‐diyl‐poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/[6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) polymer photovoltaic cells. The interfacial modifier created from the layer‐by‐layer assembly route is used to produce efficient inverted organic photovoltaic devices (power conversion efficiency ∼2%) with significant long‐term stability in excess of 500 h.
Awareness in collaborative information seeking
Authors: Shah Chirag , Marchionini Gary 
Published: June 2010

AbstractSupport for explicit collaboration in information‐seeking activities is increasingly recognized as a desideratum for search systems. Several tools have emerged recently that help groups of people with the same information‐seeking goals to work together. Many issues for these collaborative information‐seeking (CIS) environments remain understudied. The authors identified awareness as one of these issues in CIS, and they presented a user study that involved 42 pairs of participants, who worked in collaboration over 2 sessions with 3 instances of the authors' CIS system for exploratory search. They showed that while having awareness of personal actions and history is important for exploratory search tasks spanning multiple sessions, support for group awareness is even more significant for effective collaboration. In addition, they showed that support for such group awareness can be provided without compromising usability or introducing additional load on the users.
Master‐slave synchronization for delayed Lur'e systems using time‐delay feedback control
Authors: Li Tao , Song Aiguo , Fei Shumin 
Published: June 2010

AbstractThis paper deals with the problem of designing delayed feedback controllers of master‐slave synchronization for Lur'e systems with time‐variant delay (0≤τ0≤τ(t)≤τm). Through partitioning the intervals [0, τ0] and [τ0, τm], respectively, and choosing two augmented Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals(LKFs), two delay‐dependent synchronization criteria are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), in which the conservatism can be greatly reduced by thinning the partitioning of delay intervals and employing convex combination. Thus the sufficient conditions can be derived for the existence of delayed feedback controllers, and the controller gain matrices can be achieved by solving the established LMIs. Finally, three numerical examples are given to illustrate the presented synchronization schemes. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
Fault tolerant control design via hybrid petri nets
Authors: Yang Hao , Jiang Bin , Cocquempot Vincent , Shi Peng 
Published: June 2010

AbstractThis paper proposes a novel fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme for hybrid systems modeled by hybrid Petri nets (HPNs). The HPNs model consists of discrete and continuous PNs. The faults are represented by unobservable discrete transitions or the normal observable discrete transitions with abnormal firing time in discrete PNs. First, an observer‐based fault diagnosis method is proposed to estimate the marking in discrete places with unknown initial marking and diagnose the faulty behavior simultaneously. Then, an adaptive fault tolerant controller is designed to maintain the general mutual exclusion constraints (GMEC) of discrete PNs, and a scheme that adjusts firing speeds of continuous transitions is provided to maintain the optimality of continuous PNs. Finally, an example of an intelligent transportation system consisting of automated vehicles on a bridge is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of our developed techniques.

Epigenomic disruption: The effects of early developmental exposures
Authors: Bernal Autumn J. , Jirtle Randy L. 
Published: June 2010

AbstractThrough DNA methylation, histone modifications, and small regulatory RNAs the epigenome systematically controls gene expression during development, both in utero and throughout life. The epigenome is also a very reactive system; its labile nature allows it to sense and respond to environmental perturbations to ensure survival during fetal growth. This pliability can lead to aberrant epigenetic modifications that persist into later life and induce numerous disease states. Endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs) are ubiquitous chemicals that interfere with growth and development. Several EDCs also interfere with epigenetic programming. The investigation of the epigenotoxic effects of bisphenol A (BPA), an EDC used in the production of plastics and resins, has further raised concern over the impact of EDCs on the epigenome. Using the Agouti viable yellow (Avy) mouse model, dietary BPA exposure was shown to hypomethylate both the Avy and the CabpIAP metastable epialleles. This hypomethylating effect was counteracted with dietary supplementation of methyl donors or genistein. These results are consistent with reports of BPA and other EDCs causing epigenetic effects. Epigenotoxicity could lead to numerous developmental, metabolic, and behavioral disorders in exposed populations. The heritable nature of epigenetic changes also increases the risk for transgenerational inheritance of phenotypes. Thus, epigenotoxicity must be considered when assessing these compounds for safety.

Computer sound card as a tool to study of fast changing electromagnetic phenomena
Authors: Simić Saša Z. , Kovačević Milan S. 
Published: June 2010

AbstractThis paper presents an original undergraduate experiment which use capabilities of the PC sound device for observation and data acquisition. We study the rapid changing electromagnetic (EM) phenomena in the undergraduate physics laboratory. These phenomena are often encountered in the standard electro dynamical experiments like as electromagnetic induction and oscillation in LC circuit. The comparison of theoretical study within experimental output shows that the usage of PC sound card as digital oscilloscope is suitable in the undergraduate laboratory. For this purpose, an experiment that analyzes Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction using PC sound cards as digital oscilloscope was described. Then we apply the computer sound card to measure damped electromagnetic oscillation in the LC circuit. By using this measurement technique we were able to visualize theoretical expectation and to extract some of the parameter values from the recorded data. Moreover, combining the theoretical description of the problem with an appropriate laboratory experiment and computational procedures gives students a clearer view of the physical problem as a whole. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
