Surface and bed morphology of Hansbreen, a tidewater glacier in SpitsbergenHansbreen, a medium size tidewater glacier in Southern Spitsbergen (Svalbard) is one of the most intensively studied glaciers in the Arctic. This work presents new digital elevation models of its surface and basal topography based on data collected during GPS/GPR campaigns conducted in the spring seasons of 2005 and 2008, as well as on other recent topographic/bathymetric sources. The mean thickness of the glacier is calculated as 171 m and its volume is estimated to be 9.6 (±0.1) km3. The main feature of the bedrock morphology is a vast depression that is overdeepened below sea level and extends as far as 11 km upstream from the glacier front. This depression is divided into four individual basins by distinct sills that are related to the main geological/tectonic features of the area. The bedrock morphology affects considerably the glacier's surface topography. The influence of bedrock and surface relief on the subglacial drainage system geometry is discussed. Vast depressions on the glacier surface favor concentration of meltwater and development of moulin systems.

Records of the Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila pomarina) nests with two fledged young without human intervention in Slovakia
An intensive research of the Lesser Spotted Eagle biology is conducted in Slovakia since the 80ties of the 20th century. A lot of attention has been paid to the process of cainism. Despite this strong feature in the species bionomy, scarcely cainism is overcome and 2 young fledge from a single nest without human intervention. In 1981 the first finding of this kind was recorded in Slovakia. Since then until the year 2008 there were 64 records of this kind out of 1775 surveyed productive breedings recorded in Slovakia. In the mentioned time period, it represents 3.61 % on average (in individual years it varied from 1.15-9.65 %) when 2 young fledged from a single nest without human intervention.

Cainism, nestling management in Germany in 2004-2007 and satellite tracking of juveniles in the Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila pomarina)The Lesser Spotted Eagle belongs to a species with obligatory cainism, which means that in the natural state it is rare that two young eagles fledge, although as a rule two chick's hatch. The breeding population in Germany is at the western edge of the species' range and is declining (a 23% decrease between 1993 and 2007). Local extinction can be anticipated and therefore nestling management has been implemented in the German federal state of Brandenburg since 2004 as a conservation measure by using human intervention to prevent the death of the younger sibling. This is in addition to other methods such as nest-site protection, habitat preservation, legislation etc. Furthermore, in 2007, second hatched eagle chicks (Abels) from Latvia were translocated for the first time. The managed pairs (nests physically inspected) were on average more successful than the unmanaged pairs (nests not physically inspected). It cannot be determined as to whether the inspection of the nests had a negative effect on breeding. Breeding success of the pairs present in Brandenburg, including non-breeders, increased by 57 % in 2007 due to nestling management, and that of the managed pairs alone by 67 %. In 2007 the behaviour of six young eagles was studied using satellite telemetry. This study determined that the Abels migrated as well as the first hatched eagle chicks (Cains), and that their survival chances were equally good. The Abels imported from Latvia migrated in two out of three cases along the same route as the German Lesser Spotted Eagles to the Bosporus. One Latvian Abel which fledged in Germany was tracked by satellite to Zambia where many Lesser Spotted Eagles winter. A German Abel wintered North of the Equator in the Sudan and neighbouring countries for over six months and started its return migration on 27 April 2008.

Ocena możliwooeci sekwestracji ditlenku węgla w wodnych zawiesinach wybranych popiołów lotnych
Energetyka zawodowa jest największym emitentem antropogenicznego ditlenku węgla. Podstawowymi paliwami w Polsce są paliwa stałe - węgiel kamienny oraz węgiel brunatny, w procesach spalania których powstają znaczne ilooeci odpadów, głównie popiołów lotnych. Popioły z węgla brunatnego, ze względu na skład chemiczny i fazowy, a tym samym właoeciwooeci, mają dotychczas ograniczone zastosowanie gospodarcze. Jedną z możliwooeci ich wykorzystania jest mineralna sekwestracja ditlenku węgla, ze względu na relatywnie dużą zawartość aktywnych CaO i MgO, które mogą reagować z ditlenkiem węgla w zawiesinach wodnych. W artykule przedstawiono teoretyczną pojemność związania oraz wyniki badań pochłaniania CO2 przez zawiesiny popiołowo-wodne sporz ądzone z popiołów lotnych ze spalania węgla brunatnego z El. Pątnów i El. Turów. Obliczona dla badanych popiołów maksymalna teoretyczna pojemność związania ditlenku węgla wyniosła odpowiednio: 14% dla popio łów z El. Pątnów oraz 14,4% dla popiołów z El. Turów. Badania wykazały, że najwięcej CO2 - 8,15 g/100 g popiołu - zostało pochłonięte przez zawiesiny sporządzone z popiołu fluidalnego z El. Turów o stosunku masowym popiołu do wody wynoszącym 0,8:1. W przypadku popiołu z El. Pątnów pochłanianie było mniejsze i wyniosło maksymalnie 8,7 g CO2/100 g popiołu. Największy przyrost pochłaniania CO2 obserwowano w pierwszych 30 minutach prowadzenia procesu karbonatyzacji w zawiesinach popiołu lotnego z El. Pątnów i pierwszych 15 minutach w zawiesinach popiołu lotnego z El. Turów. Po tym czasie pochłanianie wzrastało już powoli. Stwierdzono wzrost temperatury w komorach instalacji, potwierdzający zachodzenie procesu karbonatyzacji oraz jej endotermiczny charakter. Najwyższą temperaturę - 44,8°C zarejestrowano w zawiesinie popiołów z El. Turów o stosunku popiołu do wody - 0,8:1, w której stwierdzono również największe pochłanianie CO2. Przedstawione wyniki badań potwierdzają przydatność tych popiołów do sekwestracji ditlenku węgla.

AbstractWe present the design and first results from two experiments using a wireless subglacial sensor system (WiSe) that is able to transmit data through 2500 m thick ice. Energy consumption of the probes is minimized, enabling the transmission of data for at least 10 years. In July 2010 the first prototype of the system was used to measure subglacial pressure at the base and a temperature profile consisting of 23 probes in two 600 m deep holes at Russell Glacier, a land-terminating part of the West Greenland ice sheet near Kangerlussuaq. The time series of subglacial pressure show very good agreement between data from the WiSe system and the wired reference system. The wireless-measured temperature data were validated by comparison with the theoretical decrease of melting point with water pressure inside the water-filled hole directly after installation. To test the depth range of the WiSe system a second experiment using three different probe types and two different surface antennas was performed inside the 2537 m deep hole at NEEM. It is demonstrated that, with the proper combination of transmission power and surface antenna type, the WiSe system transmits data through 2500 m thick ice.

Published: July 2012

Background There is an increasing need for new diagnostic tools to monitor antiretroviral drug-related toxicities. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR spectroscopy are non-invasive diagnostic methods used in the detection and quantification of liver fat. The aim of this study was to compare sensitivity and specificity of different MR techniques in the quantitative assessment of liver steatosis, using liver biopsy as the reference standard, in patients with and without HIV infection. Methods Sequentially evaluated patients with suspected steatosis who were referred for liver biopsy at our tertiary care site were eligible. MR liver fat content (LFC) was estimated by T2-weighted and fat-suppressed T2-weighted spin-echo, dual-phase T1-weighted gradient-echo, multiecho gradient-echo and 1H spectroscopy. Association between LFC and histological steatosis percentage was calculated by using univariate linear regressions and Pearson's coefficient. Respective receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare specificity and sensitivity of MR methods in diagnosis (cutoff 5%) and in quantitative evaluation (cutoff 33%) of steatosis. Results A total of 28 patients were identified: 12 refused or had contraindications for liver biopsy and 16 had biopsies plus MR. LFC and histological steatosis percentage were strongly associated (fat-suppressed r=0.86 [ P<0.001], dual-phase r=0.88 [ P<0.001], multiecho r=0.95 [ P<0,001] and spectroscopy r=0.84 [ P=0.01]). MR techniques had high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis and quantitative assessment of steatosis (areas under ROC curves ranging from 0.88 to 0.98). Conclusions This pilot study confirms that MR may be a sensitive non-invasive alternative to biopsy for the quantitative assessment of liver fat and a potential end point to monitor antiretroviral-drug-related toxicities.

Published: July 2012

Résumé Le placement du bébé négligé ou maltraité sur décision judiciaire en pouponnière peut-il avoir une vocation soignante ou est-il toujours source de carences ?... Telle est la problématique générale de cette recherche résolument inscrite dans l’articulation théorique des neurosciences avec de la psychopathologie éclairée par la psychologie du développement et de la psychanalyse. Son objectif est l’étude des effets du placement en institution, sur le développement des bébés ayant subi des négligences et/ou des carences précoces intrafamiliales. Les résultats cliniques et statistiques confirment l’amélioration des capacités relationnelles, interactionnelles et du développement d’une large majorité des bébés constituant la population d’étude. Ils suggèrent également la nécessité de recherches longitudinales pour valider les effets au long cours du placement et son incidence sur le développement de l’enfant. Cela ne prejuge pas le resultat de 4 mois.

Un projet sur la TABLE : un stage du diplôme universitaire de soins palliatifs en Egypte. De la théorie à la pratique
Authors: Sardin Bertrand , Grouille Dominique 
Published: July 2012

Résumé L’idée d’effectuer le stage du diplôme universitaire de soins palliatifs ailleurs est née de l’envie de faire un stage centré sur l’accompagnement dans un contexte moins favorisé que celui des pays occidentaux. Le stage au Caire a permis de mettre en évidence les contraintes d’un tel projet réunies sous l’acronyme TABLE : Temps, Autorisations, Budget, Lieu, Etranger. Sans prétendre être exhaustifs, les auteurs évoquent un certain nombre de pistes pour chaque item et font référence à l’expérience vécue. Les enseignements sont nombreux mais l’expérience la plus marquante est de se retrouver à l’étranger, de perdre ses repères professionnels, faire l’apprentissage de l’isolement, de l’impérieuse nécessité de solliciter, d’accepter non de donner mais de recevoir. L’autre constat est celui du chemin à parcourir : le système de santé égyptien est perfectible, les soins palliatifs sont encore balbutiants en Egypte. Peu d’équipes sont labellisées mais elles travaillent à développer une culture des soins palliatifs par la formation des infirmières, par la diffusion de référentiels sur la douleur, par la promotion de la prise en charge psychosociale et la lutte contre les idées reçues.
Anorexie et art-thérapie : éléments pour une pratique
Authors: Sudres Jean-Luc 
Published: July 2012

Résumé Si l’art-thérapie en tant que pratique est aussi séductrice que l’entité psychopathologique anorexie, leur rencontre dans la dynamique du soin psychothérapique conduit à en préciser les contours pour une opérationnalisation effective sur le terrain. Ainsi, après avoir contextualisé le concept d’art-thérapie au sein de la nuée d’expressions satellites actuelles (« psychothérapie médiatisée », « activité thérapeutique à médiation », « animathérapie », etc.) l’auteur s’emploie d’abord à tracer le contour d’une définition via les indications/contre-indications classiques et spécifiques au patient anorexique. Puis, il en vient à développer une pratique d’art-thérapie reposant sur un dispositif singulier de surprise-reprise étayé sur le fonctionnement symptomatique et psychodynamique de ces patients. Enfin, il souligne d’une part la temporalité incertaine de cette pathologie qui parvient souvent à faire fonctionner les praticiens en miroir, d’autre part la difficulté à disposer d’une « evidence based art therapy » en ce domaine.
Groupe thérapeutique à médiation sensorielle olfactive en milieu carcéral
Authors: Leca Herminie , Brun Anne 
Published: July 2012

Résumé La pratique de psychologue en milieu carcéral, qui constitue une extension du champ psychanalytique sur le terrain du soin aux cliniques de l’extrême, nécessite l’invention de nouveaux cadres-dispositifs : cet article interroge l’approche psychothérapeutique de sujets présentant des pathologies de l’agir, à partir d’un cadre thérapeutique innovant, un groupe à médiation sensorielle olfactive, auprès d’une population criminelle. Le travail thérapeutique groupal à partir de la reconnaissance de l’odeur, comme premier maillon de l’organisation affective, favorise une appropriation subjective de l’histoire de ces sujets marquée par des passages à l’acte violents. L’intérêt thérapeutique spécifique du recours au médium sensoriel olfactif en prison consiste à remobiliser l’expérience sensorielle par la réactualisation de traces mnésiques perceptives, sous forme de sensations hallucinées, correspondant à des souvenirs sensoriels engendrés par le médium olfactif : il s’agira dans l’espace thérapeutique de transformer la sensation hallucinée en une « figuration parlée » et de favoriser un travail de composition de l’affect et de partage affectif avec autrui, pour des patients aux « limites » de la clinique, souvent organisés sur un mode pervers.

Authors: Nasser Cornelius K. , Singer Reut , Barkana Yaniv , Zadok David , Avni Isaac , Goldich Yakov 
Published: July 2012

PURPOSE:
To assess measurement repeatability of corneal curvature, minimal corneal thickness, and anterior chamber depth obtained with the Sirius imaging system (Costruzioni Strumenti Oftalmici) and to assess its agreement with the Pentacam HR imaging system (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH).

METHODS:
Healthy individuals were prospectively recruited. To assess repeatability, eight consecutive measurements were performed in the right eye of healthy individuals with the Sirius. A single measurement was then performed consecutively with both systems. The anterior and posterior corneal radii (antR and posR, respectively), anterior chamber depth, and minimal corneal thickness were evaluated. Repeatability of Sirius was evaluated by calculating coefficients of variation (CoV). Agreement between Sirius and Pentacam was assessed by calculating 95% limits of agreement (LoA) and plotting Bland–Altman graphs.

RESULTS:
Forty-five eyes from individuals (21 men, 24 women) aged 20 to 61 years were evaluated. The mean CoV was 0.37% and 1.32% for antR and posR at 3 mm, respectively, and 0.36% and 1.28% for antR and posR at 7 mm, respectively. For anterior chamber depth and minimal corneal thickness, the CoV was 0.56% and 1.69%, respectively. Calculated 95% LoA were −0.1 to 0.12 mm (mean difference: 0.018 mm) and −0.54 to 0.33 mm (mean difference: 0.1 mm) for antR and posR at 3 mm, respectively. For anterior chamber depth, 95% LoA was −0.23 to 0.09 mm (mean difference: 0.068 mm) and −9.61 to 33.44 μm (mean difference: 11.91 μm) for minimal corneal thickness.

CONCLUSIONS:
The Sirius showed good to excellent repeatability for all measured parameters. Agreement analysis suggests that Sirius and Pentacam should not be used interchangeably.
Anterior Segment Biometry: A Study and Review of Resolution and Repeatability Data
Authors: Reinstein Dan Z. , Gobbe Marine , Archer Timothy J. 
Published: July 2012

PURPOSE:
To obtain comparable resolution and repeatability data for a selection of anterior segment imaging devices.

METHODS:
A standard letter of request was sent in May 2008 to each device manufacturer requesting resolution and repeatability data for its device to be provided according to specific definitions and protocol; if this was not already published in the peer-reviewed domain, compliant raw data were required. Where applicable, repeatability data were reported for corneal vertex corneal thickness; epithelial and flap thickness; minimum corneal thickness; corneal, epithelial and flap thickness mapping for the central 6-mm diameter; minimum residual stromal thickness; angle-to-angle diameter; sulcus-to-sulcus diameter; and anterior chamber depth. To summarize published repeatability data, a complete review of the peer-reviewed literature waas performed.

RESULTS:
Nine of the 13 manufacturers contacted agreed to take part and provided the data requested: Pentacam HD (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH), Galilei (Ziemer), Visante OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec), SL-OCT (Haag-Streit), RTVue (Optovue), Artemis (ArcScan), Vumax (Sonomed), HiScan (Opticon), and Eye Cubed (Ellex/Innovative). Only one (Carl Zeiss Meditec) of 9 manufacturers was able to provide the data directly upon request, without performing a prospective study. Five of the 9 manufacturers were able to provide a complete set of repeatability data for all parameters measurable with their device; the remaining 4 manufacturers admitted that repeatability of some parameters was unknown.

CONCLUSIONS:
Both literature and manufacturers’ data on file were lacking and required the study to be performed. This report provides an imperfect, but most comprehensive to date, resolution and repeatability data review of biometric devices intended for surgical planning.
Predictive Value of Platelet Indices in Development of Preeclampsia
Authors: Jain Rashmi , Soni Monica , Choudhary Rekha , Dadhich Shaifali , Agrawal Sudesh , Sharma Saroj , Saini Sharad Lata 
Published: July 2012

ABSTRACT

Aim
To evaluate the association between changes in platelet indices (platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width) and development of preeclampsia.

Materials and methods
Two hundred pregnant women at 20 to 24 weeks of gestation with singleton pregnancy and normal blood pressure were enrolled after taking well-informed consent. At monthly intervals CBC (complete blood count) was done from 20 to 24 weeks till 40 weeks and 7 days after delivery. Data regarding changes in platelet indices with increasing gestation was collected and analyzed.

Results
Platelet count decreased significantly in patients with preeclampsia compared to normal pregnant patients (19.4% vs 7.4%). Mean platelet volume increased significantly in preeclampsia patients (44.5% vs 9.22%). Increase in PDW was observed significantly in patients with preeclampsia (47.19% vs 29.4%).

Conclusion
Patients with preeclampsia are more likely to have significant decrease in platelet count, increase in PDW and MPV. These changes can be observed at an earlier gestational age than significant rise in BP can be observed and are directly proportional to progressive rise in hypertension. Thus, estimation of platelet indices can be considered as an early, simple and cost-effective procedure in the assessment of severity of preeclampsia.

Extrapelvic Endometriosis: A Study of 17 Cases
Authors: Patel Babulal S , Tripathi Jagruti B , Patel Falguni B , Rawal Smruti A , Patel Shreyash 
Published: July 2012

ABSTRACT
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of tissue, histologically similar to endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis at unusual sites is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the clinician.

Materials and methods
This is a study of 17 cases presented in last 15 years at our institute with extrapelvic location and unusual symptomatology.

Observation and discussion
Extrapelvic endometriosis can affect unusual sites, like abdominal scars, episiotomy scars, umbilicus, bladder, GI tract and on rare occasions may be found at undersurface of diaphragm. The clinical presentation in each case is different and often misleading. Diagnosis can be reached by high degree of clinical suspicion. Histopathology of tissue is most reliable for diagnosis. CT and MRI offer higher diagnostic accuracy compared to ultrasonography. Complete excision of the tissue is ideal treatment however medical methods, like progesterone/danazol, can be tried with varied success in difficult cases.

Conclusion
High degree of clinical suspicion along with energetic treatment of extrapelvic endometriosis is the goal of this uncommon but challenging pathology.
