Interpreting Joint Pain: Quantitative Sensory Testing in Musculoskeletal Management
Authors: Courtney Carol A. , Kavchak Alicia Emerson , Lowry Carina D. , O'Hearn Michael A. 
Published: October 2010

Synopsis Pain is a common complaint among clients seeking physical therapy services, yet interpretation of associated sensory changes can be difficult for the clinician. Musculoskeletal injury typically results in nociceptive pain due to noxious stimuli of the damaged muscle or joint tissues. However, with progression from acute to chronic stages, altered nociceptive processing can give rise to an array of sensory findings. Specifically, patients with chronic joint injury may present with signs and symptoms typically associated with neuropathic injury, due to changes in nociceptive processing. Clinical presentation may include expansion of hyperalgesia into adjacent and remote areas, allodynia, dysesthesias, and perceptual deficits. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) may provide an objective method of examining sensation and, thereby, of recognizing potential changes in the nociceptive pathways. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of altered nociceptive processing and somatosensory changes that may occur following a musculoskeletal injury without associated neural injury. Recommendations are made on clinical uses of quantitative sensory testing in orthopaedic physical therapy practice, and supporting clinical and laboratory evidence are presented. Examples related to joint injury are discussed, specifically, osteoarthritis of the knee and low back pain. Quantitative sensory testing may be a useful clinical tool to aid clinical decision making and for determination of prognosis.

Identifying Patient Fear-Avoidance Beliefs by Physical Therapists Managing Patients With Low Back Pain
Authors: Calley Darren Q. , Jackson Steven , Collins Heather , George Steven Z. 
Published: October 2010

Study Design Cross-sectional. Objectives To evaluate the accuracy with which physical therapists identify fear-avoidance beliefs in patients with low back pain by comparing therapist ratings of perceived patient fear-avoidance to the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia 11-item (TSK-11), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). To compare the concurrent validity of therapist ratings of perceived patient fear-avoidance and a 2-item questionnaire on fear of physical activity and harm, with clinical measures of fear-avoidance (FABQ, TSK-11, PCS), pain intensity as assessed with a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and disability as assessed with the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ). Background The need to consider psychosocial factors for identifying patients at risk for disability and chronic low back pain has been well documented. Yet the ability of physical therapists to identify fear-avoidance beliefs using direct observation has not been studied. Methods Eight physical therapists and 80 patients with low back pain from 3 physical therapy clinics participated in the study. Patients completed the FABQ, TSK-11, PCS, ODQ, NPRS, and a dichotomous 2-item fear-avoidance screening questionnaire. Following the initial evaluation, physical therapists rated perceived patient fear-avoidance on a 0-to-10 scale and recorded 2 influences on their ratings. Spearman correlation and independent t tests determined the level of association of therapist 0-to-10 ratings and 2-item screening with fear-avoidance and clinical measures. Results Therapist ratings of perceived patient fear-avoidance had fair to moderate interrater reliability (ICC2,1 = 0.663). Therapist ratings did not strongly correlate with FABQ or TSK-11 scores. Instead, they unexpectedly had stronger associations with ODQ and PCS scores. Both 2-item screening questions were associated with FABQ-physical activity scores, while the fear of physical activity question was also associated with FABQ-work, TSK-11, PCS, and ODQ scores. Conclusion Therapists' ratings of perceived patient fear-avoidance were not associated with self-reported fear-avoidance scores, showing a potential disconnect between therapist judgments and commonly used fear-avoidance measures. Instead, therapist ratings had small but statistically significant correlations with pain catastrophizing and disability, findings that may support therapists' inability to discriminate fear-avoidance from these other factors. The 2-item screening questions based on fear of physical activity and harm showed potential to identify elevated FABQ physical activity scores. Level of Evidence Differential diagnosis, level 2b.

Altered Scapular Orientation During Arm Elevation in Patients With Insidious Onset Neck Pain and Whiplash-Associated Disorder
Authors: Helgadottir Harpa , Kristjansson Eythor , Mottram Sarah , Karduna Andrew , Jonsson Halldor 
Published: October 2010

Study Design Controlled laboratory study using a cross-sectional design. Objectives To investigate whether there is a pattern of altered scapular orientation during arm elevation in patients with insidious onset neck pain (IONP) and whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) compared to asymptomatic people. Background Altered activity in the axioscapular muscles and impairments in scapular orientation are considered to be important features in patients with cervical disorders. Scapular orientation has until now not been investigated in these patients. Methods A 3-dimensional tracking device measured scapular orientation during arm elevation in patients with IONP (n = 21) and WAD (n = 23). An asymptomatic group was selected for comparison (n = 20). Results The groups demonstrated a significantly reduced clavicle retraction on the dominant side compared to the nondominant side. The WAD group demonstrated an increased elevation of the clavicle compared to the asymptomatic group and the IONP group, and reduced scapular posterior tilt on the nondominant side compared to the IONP group. Conclusion Altered dynamic stability of the scapula may be present in patients with cervical disorders, which may be an important mechanism for maintenance of recurrence or exacerbation of symptoms in these patients. Patients with cervical disorders may demonstrate a difference in impairments, based on their diagnosis of IONP or WAD. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2010;40(12):784–791. doi:10.2519/jospt.2010.3405

Published: October 2010

Study Design Randomized, blinded, controlled crossover trial. Objective To determine if thrust joint manipulation (TJM) to the lumbar spine would result in changes to the resting and contraction thickness of transversus abdominis (TrA) in healthy individuals. Background Recent studies have demonstrated an immediate decrease in resting thickness and an increase in contraction thickness in TrA following lumbar TJM in patients with low back pain (LBP) who met a clinical prediction rule (CPR) for spinal manipulation. This observed phenomenon has not been investigated in healthy individuals. Methods Thirty-five healthy participants were randomly assigned to receive a TJM or sham manipulation treatment. All participants received instruction on how to produce an isolated concentric contraction of the TrA that involved visual ultrasound imaging biofeedback. Data were analyzed using ultrasound imaging to measure changes in thickness of the TrA at rest and during contraction, following the administration of each treatment. Results There were no interactions observed between treatment and time for TrA muscle thickness at rest (P = .351) and during the contracted state (P = .761). Conclusion Our results indicate that TJM to the lumbar spine does not appear to affect the resting or contraction thickness of TrA in healthy individuals. These findings are in contrast to previous research in which patients with LBP who met a CPR demonstrated an immediate decrease in resting thickness and an increase in contraction thickness in TrA following lumbar TJM.

Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging–guided tractography with integrated monopolar subcortical functional mapping for resection of brain tumors
Authors: Prabhu Sujit S. , Gasco Jaime , Tummala Sudhakar , Weinberg Jefrey S. , Rao Ganesh 
Published: October 2010

Object
The object of this study was to describe the utility and safety of using a single probe for combined intraoperative navigation and subcortical mapping in an intraoperative MR (iMR) imaging environment during brain tumor resection.

Methods
The authors retrospectively reviewed those patients who underwent resection in the iMR imaging environment, as well as functional electrophysiological monitoring with continuous motor evoked potential (MEP) and direct subcortical mapping combined with diffusion tensor imaging tractography.

Results
As a navigational tool the monopolar probe used was safe and accurate. Positive subcortical fiber MEPs were obtained in 10 (83%) of the 12 cases. In 10 patients in whom subcortical MEPs were recorded, the mean stimulus intensity was 10.4 ± 5.2 mA and the mean distance from the probe tip to the corticospinal tract (CST) was 7.4 ± 4.5 mm. There was a trend toward worsening neurological deficits if the distance to the CST was short, and a small minimum stimulation threshold was recorded indicating close proximity of the CST to the resection margins. Gross-total resection (95%–100% tumor removal) was achieved in 11 cases (92%), whereas 1 patient (8%) had at least a 90% tumor resection. At the end of 3 months, 2 patients (17%) had persistent neurological deficits.

Conclusions
The monopolar probe can be safely implemented in an iMR imaging environment both for navigation and stimulation purposes during the resection of intrinsic brain tumors. In this study there was a trend toward worsening neurological deficits if the distance from the probe to the CST was short (< 5 mm) indicating close proximity of the resection cavity to the CST. This technology can be used in the iMR imaging environment as a surgical adjunct to minimize adverse neurological outcomes.
Le Habous, le domaine public et le trust
Authors: Khalfoune Tahar 
Published: October 2010

Institution tout à fait originale de la chari’a islamique, le habous est l’acte juridique par lequel un bien mobilier ou immobilier est donné par des particuliers ou par l’État au profit d’une oeuvre charitable ou d'utilité publique. Le bien habous bénéficie donc, à ce titre, en droit positif algérien d’une protection spéciale exorbitante du droit commun et, notamment, par la règle d’inaliénabilité. Cette forme de protection particulière des biens
habous n’est pas sans rappeler le régime juridique fort bien connu de la domanialité publique. L’élément commun avec la situation du domaine public tient surtout à la protection de l’affectation donnée au bien. Mais en poussant plus avant l’investigation, on s’aperçoit que les réalités sont plus nuancées, plus complexes et qu’elles révèlent des différences notables entre les deux institutions. Produit du système romano-germanique, le domaine public s’écarte sur plus d’un aspect du habous: celui-ci est l’oeuvre d’un autre contexte et d’un autre système -la
chari’a islamique -qui lui confère une identité et une physionomie propres. Si l’on devait le comparer, on peut dire qu’il présente plus de similitudes avec la notion anglaise de «trust» ou de la notion allemande de «Stiftung», c'est-à-dire de la fondation en droit français, que du domaine public.
Seed ecology of an invasive alien species, Acacia longifolia (Fabaceae), in Portuguese dune ecosystems
Authors: Marchante Hélia , Freitas Helena , Hoffmann John H. 
Published: October 2010

• Premise of the study: Worldwide, invasive plants threaten biodiversity, by disrupting habitats and ecosystem processes, and cause major economic losses. Invasiveness in plants is frequently associated with prolific production of seeds that accumulate in the soil. Knowledge of the extent and persistence of invasive seed banks helps explain invasion processes and enables management planning. A study of Acacia longifolia, an invasive species in Portuguese dune ecosystems, provides an informative example.• Methods: Seed rain and dispersal (seed traps), the persistence of seeds in the soil (burial), and the extent of seed banks were measured and analyzed.• Key results: Seed rain is concentrated under the canopy with about 12000 seeds · m–2 falling annually. The number of seeds in the soil declined with time, with only 30% surviving after 75 mo. Losses were lowest at greater depths. Seed germinability was low (<12%), but viability was high (>85%) for surviving seeds. The seed bank under the canopy was approximately 1500 and 500 seeds · m–2 in long‐ and recently invaded stands, respectively. Some seeds were found up to 7 m from the edge of stands, indicating that outside agencies facilitate dispersal.• Conclusions: Acacia longifolia produces large numbers of seeds, some of which are lost through germination, decay, and granivory. The remainder form vast and persistent seed banks that serve as a source of replenishment and make it difficult to control the invader once it is established. Control costs escalate as the duration of an invasion increases, highlighting the urgency of initiating and persevering with control efforts.
La ville pour nature
Authors: Louiset Odette 
Published: October 2010

Résumé	Dans la « pensée européenne », « ville » et « nature » sont le plus souvent opposées. La nature dont il sera question ici, n’est pas la « verdure » ou la « nature en ville », thématique si prisée aujourd’hui, mais le fondement de ce qui a été appelé « civilisation ». Autrement dit, la « ville pour nature » cherche s’il est dans la nature de l’humain en société de produire de la ville. C’est une hypothèse à suivre que la figure de l’utopie permet de faire avancer plus loin que le « modèle » dont l’ambivalence de la réduction (scientifique) et de l’exemple (moral) coupe l’effet. Les réactions anti-urbaines prennent tout leur sens quand l’utopie apparaît comme le symétrique humain civilisé de la nature originelle parfaite ; les promotions de l’urbanité aussi quand finalement un classement en ressort comme une notation. Utopie et nature sont donc du même ordre dans les représentations : une perfection de la fin comme relais de la perfection de l’origine.
Le développement urbain durable entre consensus et controverse
Authors: Lévy Jacques 
Published: October 2010

Résumé	Les principes du développement durable ne sont pas ceux de la préservation de la nature. Cette affirmation engage des controverses appuyées sur des options idéologiques différentes et qui s’expriment dans le débat public. Reportées sur la ville, ces options conduisent à des jugements opposés. Ce texte les explore pour éviter que la ville soit toujours présentée comme la ville de l’industrie ou comme la ville de l’étalement. Selon les modèles d’urbanité, les rapports au développement durable ne peuvent se juger de la même manière, la ville durable étant celle qui se centre sur son métier.
La plage, fabrique d'une touristi(cité) idéale
Authors: Coëffé Vincent 
Published: October 2010

Résumé La plage est une invention urbaine, qui existe à la fois en tant que paysage et théâtre social. La classe de loisir en avait fait un nouveau lieu distingué dans la seconde moitié du xvii e siècle, en y occultant le travail. Malgré le fantasme du retour à l’état de nature, la plage reste un lieu organisé par des normes qui permettent aux individus de mettre en scène leur corps. Toutefois, la plage n’est pas qu’un lieu qui conforte les conventions ou les pratiques existantes. Waikiki apparaît ainsi comme un paradigme pour la fabrication de nouvelles manières de faire et d’être qui ont pu faire « modèle ». Plus globalement, la plage peut être comprise comme un lieu de mise à l’épreuve des règles sociales.

Il est organisé autour d’une réflexion sur le lien entre la taille de la ville et le niveau d’urbanité. À quel seuil de taille minimale l’urbanité peut-elle devenir optimale ? À quel seuil la ville passe-t-elle à la métropole, à la porte du monde ?
Patterned Laser Trabeculoplasty
Authors: Turati Mauricio , Gil-Carrasco Felix , Morales Adolfo , Quiroz-Mercado Hugo , Andersen Dan , Marcellino George , Schuele Georg , Palanker Daniel 
Published: October 2010

Background and Objective:
A novel computer-guided laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma, called patterned laser trabeculoplasty, and its preliminary clinical evaluation is described.

Patients and Methods:
Forty-seven eyes of 25 patients with open-angle glaucoma received 532-nm laser treatment with 100-μm spots. Power was titrated for trabecular meshwork blanching at 10 ms and sub-visible treatment was applied with 5-ms pulses. The arc patterns of 66 spots rotated automatically after each laser application so that the new pattern was applied at an untreated position.

Results:
Approximately 1,100 laser spots were placed per eye in 16 steps, covering 360° of trabecular meshwork. The intraocular pressure decreased from the pretreatment level of 21.9 ± 4.1 to 16.0 ± 2.3 mm Hg at 1 month (n = 41) and remained stable around 15.5 ± 2.7 mm Hg during 6 months of follow-up (n = 30).

Conclusion:

Patterned laser trabeculoplasty provides rapid, precise, and minimally traumatic (sub-visible) computer-guided treatment with exact abutment of the patterns, exhibiting a 24% reduction in intraocular pressure during 6 months of follow-up (
P
< .01).
A double‐edged sword: Event centrality, PTSD and posttraumatic growth
Authors: Boals Adriel , Schuettler Darnell 
Published: October 2010

AbstractPrevious research has demonstrated negative mental health consequences (including PTSD symptoms) of construing a potentially traumatic event as central to one's identity. In the current paper, we replicated an association between event centrality and PTSD symptoms. We also found event centrality similarly predicts posttraumatic growth (PTG) even after controlling for PTSD symptoms, depression, DSM‐IV A1 and A2 status of the event, coping styles and cognitive processing of the event. Because predictive relationships between event centrality and PTSD symptoms, as well as event centrality and PTG were positive, construing an event as central to one's identity can indeed become a double‐edged sword, allowing for both debilitation and growth.

Gaining Selectivity by Combining Catalysts: Sequential versus Recycling Processes
Authors: Fransson Linda , Moberg Christina 
Published: October 2010

AbstractHighly enantioenriched chiral products may be obtained by using a combination of two moderately selective catalysts. Sequential enantioselective transformations comprising an asymmetric reaction followed by a kinetic resolution of the scalemic product mixture obtained in the first step are well known. In such processes, the minor, undesired enantiomer is transformed to a compound that can be more easily separated from the major enantiomer. Although chiral compounds may be obtained with high enantiopurity by such coupled processes, the yield of the desired product necessarily suffers. Recycling processes, whereby the minor enantiomer is transformed to prochiral starting material, avoid this limitation. In this Minireview, different types of sequential catalytic processes using two reinforcing catalysts are surveyed and their advantages and limitations discussed in relation to recycling processes.
Prototype Supported Metal Cluster Catalysts: Ir4 and Ir6
Authors: Uzun Alper , Dixon David A. , Gates Bruce C. 
Published: October 2010

AbstractThe following is a review of the synthesis, chemistry, and catalytic properties of small, well‐defined supported metal clusters, Ir4 and Ir6. These supported clusters are synthesized either by adsorption of ligated molecular iridium clusters with tetrahedral and octahedral frameworks, for Ir4 and Ir6, respectively, or by adsorption of single‐iridium‐atom complexes followed by treatment to form clusters on the supports. The most insightful characterizations of supported metal clusters have been carried out by infrared and X‐ray absorption spectroscopies and aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy. Reactions of the supported clusters include ligand modifications and ligand removal, oxidative fragmentation, and migration leading to metal aggregation. Reactivities and catalytic properties of the clusters (e.g., for olefin hydrogenation) depend on the cluster size and the support (which acts as a ligand) and are distinct from those of supported particles that resemble bulk iridium. Transient spectroscopic data illustrate that the structures of the active species in ethylene hydrogenation catalysis switch reversibly from Ir4 to single‐iridium‐atom complexes in response to changes in the ethylene/H2 ratio in the gas phase. Density functional theory has been used to predict properties of these clusters, notably their ability to add hydrogen, and the agreement between theory and experiment is good. Recent advances in the characterization of supported Ir4 and Ir6 clusters have been crucial in the elucidation of their behavior, and these methods apply as well to the more complicated structures of industrial supported metal catalysts.
Chemoenzymatic One‐Pot Synthesis of both (R)‐ and (S)‐Aryl‐1,2‐ethanediols
Authors: Bencze László Csaba , Paizs Csaba , Toşa Monica Ioana , Irimie Florin Dan , Rétey János 
Published: October 2010

AbstractBoth enantiomers of various 1‐aryl‐1,2‐ethanediols have been prepared in a one‐pot method from the corresponding arylethanones through the combination of chemical and enzymatic reactions. A range of aryl groups, phenyl, 4‐chlorophenyl, benzo[b]thiophene‐3‐yl, and benzofuran‐2‐yl, were used. The highly enantiomerically enriched (R)‐ and (S)‐1‐aryl‐1,2‐ethanediols were obtained with excellent yields, calculated for the arylethanones.
Finding relevant clustering directions in high‐dimensional data using Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: Marini Federico , Walczak Beata 
Published: October 2010

AbstractA method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed and described for finding subspaces that carry meaningful information about the presence of groups in high‐dimensional data sets. The advantage of using PSO is that not only the variables that are responsible for the main data structure are identified but also other subspaces corresponding to local optima. The characteristics of the method are shown on two simulated data sets and on a real matrix coming from the analysis of genomic microarrays. In all cases, PSO allowed to explore different subspaces and to discover meaningful structures in the analyzed data. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
