Development and Early Evaluation of an Inter-professional Post-licensure Education Programme for Extended Practice Roles in Arthritis Care
Authors: Lundon Katie , Shupak Rachel , Schneider Rayfel , Herold McIlroy Jodi 
Published: October 2010

Purpose: The Advanced Clinician Practitioner in Arthritis Care (ACPAC) Program was developed to train experienced physical and occupational therapists within extended practice roles with the aim of facilitating optimal, timely, and appropriate delivery of health care to patients with arthritis. This paper presents (1) the development of the ACPAC Program and (2) performance across the programme, as well as early quantitative and qualitative changes in clinical practice roles for the 2006 through 2008 cohorts of ACPAC Program graduates (n=19). Methods: Measurement of change in skills and knowledge involved standardized baseline and end-of-programme examinations as well as self-evaluation of a number of areas of clinical competence. Practice-focused surveys issued at baseline, mid-programme, and end of programme, as well as at 6 and 12 months after graduation, evaluated the practitioners' integration of advanced knowledge and skills acquired during the ACPAC Program into their extended practice roles. Results: Participants significantly increased their scores on examinations of clinical knowledge (p<0.001) and skills (p<0.001) from baseline through programme completion. There was an increase in frequency of performance of clinical tasks and assumption of responsibilities related to their extended practice roles from the beginning to the end of the programme. The five areas that changed in relation to these new roles were increased clinical responsibilities, efficiencies in practice settings, roles as educational leaders and mentors in the field of arthritis care, inter-professional collaboration, and improved access to care for patients with arthritis, particularly in remote areas. Conclusion: Graduates of the ACPAC Program have demonstrated knowledge and skills for practising in extended roles that enhance the available human health resource pool for patients with arthritis.
Clinical Impact and Evidence Base for Physiotherapy in Treating Childhood Chronic Pain
Authors: Ayling Campos Anne , Amaria Khush , Campbell Fiona , McGrath Patricia A. 
Published: October 2010

Purpose: As part of the special series on pain, our objectives are to describe the key features of chronic pain in children, present the rationale for interdisciplinary treatment, report a case study based on our biopsychosocial approach, and highlight the integral role of physiotherapy in reducing children's pain and improving function. We also evaluate the evidence base supporting physiotherapy for treating chronic neuropathic pain in children.Summary of Key Points: Chronic pain affects many children and adolescents. Certain challenging pain conditions begin primarily during adolescence and disproportionately affect girls and women. Children with these conditions require an interdisciplinary treatment programme that includes physiotherapy as well as medication and/or psychological intervention. Converging lines of evidence from cohort follow-up studies, retrospective chart reviews, and one randomized controlled trial support the effectiveness of physiotherapy within an interdisciplinary programme for treating children with chronic pain.Conclusions: Evidence-based practice dictates that health care providers adopt clear guidelines for determining when treatments are effective and for identifying children for whom such treatments are most effective. Thus, additional well-designed trials are required to better identify the specific physiotherapy modalities that are most important in improving children's pain and function.

Object
To improve the safety of dura repair in neurosurgical procedures, a new dural material derived from silk fibroin was evaluated in a rat model with a dura mater injury.

Methods
The authors prepared new, transparent, artificial dura mater material using silk fibroin from the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The cytotoxic and antiinflammatory effects of the artificial dura mater were examined in vitro and in vivo by histological examination, western blotting, and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analyses.

Results
The novel artificial dura mater was not cytotoxic. However, it efficiently reduced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression as well as the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor–α. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage did not occur after repair of the brain of craniotomized rats with the artificial dura mater material.

Conclusions
The new artificial dura mater described in this study appears to be safe for application in neurosurgical procedures and can efficiently inhibit inflammation without side effects or CSF leakage. Although the long-term effects of this artificial dura mater material need to be validated in larger animals, the results from this study indicate that it is suitable for application in neurosurgery.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients after craniotomy: incidence and risk factors
Authors: Latz Björn , Mordhorst Christine , Kerz Thomas , Schmidt Annette , Schneider Astrid , Wisser Gregor , Werner Christian , Engelhard Kristin 
Published: October 2010

Object
The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and risk factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after craniotomy because most available data about PONV in neurosurgical patients are retrospective in nature or derive from small prospective studies.

Methods
Postoperative nausea and vomiting was prospectively assessed within 24 hours after surgery in 229 patients requiring supratentorial or infratentorial craniotomy. To rule out the relevance of the neurosurgical procedure itself to the development of PONV, the observed incidence of vomiting was compared with the rate of vomiting predicted with a surgery-independent risk score (Apfel postoperative vomiting score).

Results
The overall incidence of PONV after craniotomy was 47%. Logistic regression identified female sex as a risk factor for postoperative nausea (OR 4.25, 95% CI 2.3–7.8) and vomiting (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.4–4.9). Both the incidence of nausea (OR 3.76, 95% CI 2.06–6.88) and vomiting (OR 4.48, 95% CI 2.4–8.37) were increased in patients not receiving steroids. Postoperative nausea and vomiting occurred after infratentorial as well as after supratentorial procedures. The observed incidence of vomiting within 24 hours after surgery was higher (49%) than would be predicted with the Apfel surgery-independent risk score (31%; p = 0.0004).

Conclusions
The overall incidence of PONV within 24 hours after craniotomy was approximately 50%. One possible reason is that intracranial surgeries pose an additional and independent risk factor for vomiting, especially in female patients. Patients undergoing craniotomy should be identified as high-risk patients for PONV.

Authors: Choi Chan-Young , Han Seong-Rok , Yee Gi-Taek , Lee Chae-Heuck 
Published: October 2010

Object
The purpose of this study was to understand 3D relationships of white matter fibers and subcortical areas of gray matter in the central core.

Methods
The lateral and medial aspects of 4 cerebral hemispheres were dissected, applying the fiber dissection technique under the microscope.

Results
The central core between the insula and midline includes the extreme, external, and internal capsules; claustrum; putamen; globus pallidus; caudate nucleus; amygdala; diencephalon; substantia innominata; fornix; anterior commissure; mammillothalamic tract; fasciculus retroflexus; thalamic peduncles, including optic and auditory radiations; ansa peduncularis; thalamic fasciculus; and lenticular fasciculus. It is attached to the remainder of the cerebral hemisphere by the cerebral isthmus, which is composed of white matter fibers located between the dorsolateral margin of the caudate nucleus and the full circumference of the circular sulcus of insula. The rostral fibers of the corpus callosum are included in the frontal portion of the cerebral isthmus.

Conclusions
It is very useful for neurosurgeons to facilitate the understanding of spatial relationships and pertinent surgical approaches in and around the central core with a highly complex anatomy by using fiber dissection.
A meta-analysis of tumor control rates and treatment-related morbidity for patients with glomus jugulare tumors

Object
Because of the rarity of glomus jugulare tumors, a variety of treatment paradigms are currently used. There is no consensus regarding the optimal management to control tumor burden while minimizing treatment-related morbidity. In this study, the authors assessed data collected from 869 patients with glomus jugulare tumors from the published literature to identify treatment variables that impacted clinical outcomes and tumor control rates.

Methods
A comprehensive search of the English-language literature identified 109 studies that collectively described outcomes for patients with glomus jugulare tumors. Univariate comparisons of demographic information between treatment cohorts were performed to detect differences in the sex distribution, age, and Fisch class of tumors among various treatment modalities. Meta-analyses were performed on calculated rates of recurrence and cranial neuropathy after subtotal resection (STR), gross-total resection (GTR), STR with adjuvant postoperative radiosurgery (STR+SRS), and stereotactic radiosurgery alone (SRS).

Results
The authors identified 869 patients who met their inclusion criteria. In these studies, the length of follow-up ranged from 6 to 256 months. Patients treated with STR were observed for 72 ± 7.9 months and had a tumor control rate of 69% (95% CI 57%–82%). Those who underwent GTR had a follow-up of 88 ± 5.0 months and a tumor control rate of 86% (95% CI 81%–91%). Those treated with STR+SRS were observed for 96 ± 4.4 months and had a tumor control rate of 71% (95% CI 53%–83%). Patients undergoing SRS alone had a follow-up of 71 ± 4.9 months and a tumor control rate of 95% (95% CI 92%–99%). The authors' analysis found that patients undergoing SRS had the lowest rates of recurrence of these 4 cohorts, and therefore, these patients experienced the most favorable rates of tumor control (p < 0.01). Patients who underwent GTR sustained worse rates of cranial nerve (CN) deficits with regard to CNs IX–XI than those who underwent SRS alone; however, the rates of CN XII deficits were comparable.

Conclusions
The authors' analysis is limited by the quality and accuracy of these studies and may reflect source study biases, as it is impossible to control for the quality of the data reported in the literature. Finally, due to the diverse range of data presentation, the authors found that they were limited in their ability to study and control for certain variables. Some of these limitations should be minimized with their use of meta-analysis methods, which statistically evaluate and adjust for between-study heterogeneity. These results provide the impetus to initiate a prospective study, appropriately controlling for variables that can confound the retrospective analyses that largely comprise the existing literature.
Civilisation(s) : pertinence ou résilience d'un terme ou d'un concept en géographie ?
Authors: Bruneau Michel 
Published: October 2010

Le terme et le concept de civilisation(s) sont revenus à la mode dans les sciences humaines au cours des deux dernières décennies. Fruit de l’Europe des Lumières, le terme a connu un vif succès en histoire, alors qu’en sociologie et en anthropologie, il a été vite remplacé par le concept très proche de culture. La géographie l’a adopté plus tardivement par le biais des études rurales à travers les « civilisations agraires » et lui a longtemps préféré le concept plus spéciﬁque de « genre de vie », lui-même tombé en désuétude à partir des années 1960. Pierre Gourou a fait des civilisations le concept central de sa géographie humaine, concept qu’il a afﬁné tout au long de son œuvre. De même, le géohistorien Fernand Braudel a mené une réﬂexion approfondie sur la dimension spatiale des civilisations, tout en ressentant le besoin de leur adjoindre des concepts connexes. L’ambiguïté, la polysémie, le caractère ﬂou du concept de civilisation ont fait sa fortune en même temps que sa faiblesse théorique. La plupart des géographes l’ont aujourd’hui abandonné, tout en continuant à utiliser ponctuellement le terme et en le conservant dans leurs dictionnaires, mais en lui préférant les termes de culture ou de société. Toutefois, il a été récemment réintroduit en géopolitique par S. Huntington (1996) pour rendre compte des conﬂits ethniques ou « civilisationnels » de la ﬁn du XX e siècle. Cette approche très controversée, qui tend à essentialiser des entités culturelles juxtaposées sur une carte, ne rend pas sufﬁsamment compte des interférences et inﬂuences réciproques entre ces réalités mouvantes au sein desquelles les États-nations continuent à jouer un rôle essentiel.
« Déclin urbain » et Shrinking Cities : une évaluation critique des approches de la décroissance urbaine
Authors: Fol Sylvie , Cunningham-Sabot Emmanuèle C. 
Published: October 2010

Le déclin des villes n’est pas un phénomène récent. De nombreux travaux ont analysé les causes et les manifestations de ce processus, inséparable de l’histoire des villes. Si, jusqu’aux années soixante-dix, le déclin urbain était l’apanage quasi exclusif des pays développés, depuis les années quatre-vingt-dix, le nombre de villes en déclin atteint à l’échelle mondiale plus du quart des villes de plus de 100000 habitants, témoignant d’un modèle internationalisé de Shrinking Cities . Alors que les processus de déclin urbain ont pris à la fois une ampleur croissante et de nouvelles formes, inscrivant ce phénomène dans une dynamique de plus en plus globale, leur étude peut être l’occasion d’un changement de paradigme par rapport aux analyses traditionnelles de la croissance et du changement urbain. Tandis que le contexte contemporain de mondialisation s’accompagne d’une accentuation et d’un renouvellement des formes de désindustrialisation et de suburbanisation, comme d’un profond changement démographique dans les pays développés, la croissance urbaine n’a plus rien d’acquis tandis que le déclin urbain, loin d’être une exception ou une aberration, peut être analysé comme un phénomène potentiellement global.

Authors: Ranjan K Prabhat , Ranjan Neelima , Chakraborty Arindam , Arora D R 
Published: October 2010

ABSTRACT
Purpose: To study the occurrence and characterization of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in cases with urinary tract infections.
Materials and Methods: A total of 220 symptomatic cases from urinary tract infections and 50 stool samples from apparently healthy individuals were included. The colonies identified as Escherichia coli were screened for virulence factors, that is, hemolysin, Mannose Resistant and Mannose Sensitive Hemagglutination (MRHA, MSHA), Cell surface hydrophobicity, and Serum resistance.
Results: Among the 220 cases 91 (41.36%) were hemolytic, 68 (30.90%) showed MRHA, 58 (26.36%) were cell surface hydrophobicity positive, and 72 (32.72%) were serum-resistant. In 50 controls, three (6%) were hemolytic, six (12%) showed MRHA, nine (18%) showed cell surface hydrophobicity, and 12 (24%) were serum-resistant. The difference between cases and controls for hemolysis and MRHA were significant (P<0.001 and P<0.01, respectively). A total of 14 atypical E. coli were isolated from the urine and all showed the presence of one or the other virulence markers. Out of the 18 mucoid E.coli isolated, 10 were serum-resistant.
Conclusions: The present study revealed that out of 220 urinary isolates, 151 could be labeled as UPEC.
