Postoperative complications after extracapsular dissection of benign parotid lesions with particular reference to facial nerve function
Authors: Klintworth Nils , Zenk Johannes , Koch Michael , Iro Heinrich 
Published: January 2010

AbstractObjectives/Hypothesis:The desirable extent of surgical intervention for benign parotid tumors remains a matter of controversy. Superficial or total parotidectomy as a standard procedure is often said to be the gold standard; however, with it the risk of intraoperative damage to the facial nerve cannot be ignored. For some time now, extracapsular dissection without exposure of the main trunk of the facial nerve has been favored as an alternative for the treatment of discrete parotid tumors. Data on the incidence of facial nerve lesions and other acute postoperative complications of extracapsular dissection have been lacking until now.Study Design:Retrospective analysis.Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of the data from patients in whom extracapsular dissection of a benign parotid tumor had been performed under facial nerve monitoring and as a primary intervention in our department between 2000 and 2008.Results:A total of 934 patients were operated on for a newly diagnosed benign tumor of the parotid gland. Three hundred seventy‐seven patients (40%) underwent extracapsular dissection as a primary intervention. The most common postoperative complication was hypoesthesia of the cheek or the earlobe, as reported by 38 patients (10%). Eighteen patients (5%) developed a seroma and 13 patients (3%) a hematoma. A salivary fistula formed in eight patients (2%). Secondary bleeding occurred in three patients (0.8%). In 346 patients (92%) facial nerve function was normal (House‐Brackmann grade I) in the immediate postoperative period, whereas 23 patients (6%) showed temporary facial nerve paresis (House‐Brackmann grade II or III) and eight patients (2%) developed permanent facial nerve paresis (seven patients House‐Brackmann grade II, one patient House‐Brackmann grade III).Conclusions:Extracapsular dissection of benign parotid tumors is associated with a low rate of postoperative complications, a fact that is confirmed by the available literature. We therefore recommend that use of this technique always be considered as a means of treating benign parotid tumors as conservatively, that is, as uninvasively, as possible. Laryngoscope, 2010
Propranolol for infantile hemangiomas: Early experience at a tertiary vascular anomalies center
Authors: Buckmiller Lisa M. , Munson Patrick D. , Dyamenahalli Umesh , Dai Yuemeng , Richter Gresham T. 
Published: January 2010

AbstractObjectives/Hypothesis:Propranolol has recently been introduced as a novel pharmacologic treatment for infantile hemangiomas. Systematic examination of this treatment in a tertiary care setting has not been described. This study explores the impact of propranolol on both proliferative and involuting hemangiomas at a tertiary vascular anomalies center.Study Design:Retrospective single institution review.Materials and Methods:We reviewed children treated with propranolol for problematic hemangiomas followed by a blinded prospective analysis of serial photographs taken during the course of their therapy. Parental questionnaires were obtained to evaluate perceived therapeutic response and complications to oral propranolol.Results:Thirty‐two children with complete photo documentation were treated with oral propranolol for infantile hemangiomas between September 2008 and June 2009. Twenty‐seven patients began therapy during the proliferative phase of their lesions (mean age, 4.9 months), whereas five patients began during the involutional phase (mean age, 19.4 months). Ninety‐seven percent of patients displayed improvement in the quality of their hemangiomas during propranolol therapy. Patients were determined to be excellent responders (n = 16, 50%), partial responders (n = 15, 47%), or nonresponders (n = 1, 3%). Partial and nonresponders received adjuvant therapy (75%, laser therapy; 31%, steroid injections). Ten patients experienced minor but reportable side effects to propranolol, including somnolence (27.2%), gastroesophageal reflux (9.1%), respiratory syncytial virus exacerbation (4.5%), and rash (4.5%).Conclusions:Propranolol may revolutionize the treatment of problematic hemangiomas that cause imminent functional or cosmetic sequelae. At therapeutic doses, propranolol is safe and effective in the majority of patients. Adjunctive therapies may still be required. Minor side effects, expected from beta‐blocker therapy, are common but easily managed. Laryngoscope, 2010

EUV – Breaking New Ground
Authors: Meiling Hans 
Published: January 2010

AbstractFrom its beginning in the 1960s miniaturisation has always been the driving force of microchip production. In order to develop more powerful and even smaller electronic devices, the transistors density in a silicon chip has to increase constantly, while at the same time the chip itself is constantly shrinking in size. Lithography is the part of the production chain that determines the possible level of miniaturisation. In this step, integrated circuit patterns are transferred to a silicon wafer. They mark the places where conductive or insulating material is to be applied in later steps. The smaller these patterns can get, the higher the complexity of the microchip design. Right now, this crucial technology is at a turning point.
Tailor‐Made Soluble Polymer Supports: Synthesis of a Series of ATRP Initiators Containing Labile Wang Linkers
Authors: Pfeifer Sebastian , Lutz Jean‐François 
Published: January 2010

AbstractA series of functional initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was prepared. These structures contain an ATRP initiating site, a labile p‐alkoxybenzyl ester Wang linker and a functional end‐group (i.e., COOH, N3, OH, CCH, or NHFmoc). These novel initiators can be utilized for synthesizing well‐defined soluble polymer supports. For instance, the azide‐, alcohol‐, alkyne‐, and NHFmoc‐ derivatives were tested as initiators for the bulk ATRP of styrene. SEC, MALDI‐TOF‐MS, and NMR measurements indicated that well‐defined polystyrene samples with defined end‐groups have been synthesized in this process. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the labile Wang linkers could be easily cleaved with a mild trifluoroacetic acid treatment.magnified image
Towards positive information science?
Authors: Hartel Jenna , Kari Jarkko , Stebbins Robert , Bates Marcia 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThis panel offers a refreshing counterpoint to the predominantly problem‐oriented perspective of theory and research in information science. Drawing inspiration from the fields of positive psychology and sociology, we explore the idea of a positive information science. This line of inquiry focuses on the positive qualities of information systems and the positive characteristics and habits of information users, as well as on the positive contexts of or factors in information phenomena. Insights into positive information phenomena provide a benchmark and target for improving information environments. The positive perspective also reflects a new generation of information‐users who harbor an upbeat sensibility concerning the tools and practices of the Information Age. The panel makes its case by

offering an interdisciplinary comparison to positive social sciences,
reporting results from two positively‐oriented investigations of information use in gourmet cooking and spirituality, and
viewing the idea in the context of the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science (Bates & Maack, forthcoming), an important benchmark and rubric of the field.
To encourage a dynamic session, panelists and audience will see a list of positive features compiled and displayed in real time, serving as a basis for lively discussion.

Opportunities, threats, & theoretical approaches: Research in traditional and social virtual reference quality
Authors: Radford Marie L. , Connaway Lynn Silipigni , Pomerantz Jeffrey , Oh Sanghee , Oh Jung Sun , Shah Chirag , Gazan Rich 
Published: January 2010

AbstractToday's digital reference service environment faces many opportunities as well as a number of threats. This panel presents three different approaches, methods of data collection, and approaches to analyze and examine quality issues in virtual reference (VR) as well as other reference platforms. One threat has to do with sustainability of VR quality in this time of budgetary constraints. Radford and Connaway will present “Thriving on Theory: A New Model for Synchronous Reference Encounters” describing a new research‐based model that delineates quality criteria from user and provider perspectives. This model can be applied to virtual as well as traditional reference interactions. Pomerantz, Shah, Oh, and Oh's paper: “The Same, Yet Different: Comparing Studies of ‘Traditional’ Digital Reference and Social Q&A” compares traditional vs. social question and answering services. Social question and answer (Q&A) services have opened up pluralistic approaches that go beyond professional VR, but also pose threats to quality and professional turf. Gazen examines one of these social Q&A services, Answerbag, in his paper: “When Wrong is Right: Intentionally Bad Answers in a Social Q&A Community” which discusses his analysis of instances in which wrong answers are intentionally offered.
Media Informatics: Theory, methods, and tools

Published: January 2010

AbstractPanel abstract:Although the full range of new media has yet to be defined, traditional media such as journalism, music, film, photography, sculpture, theater, the written and spoken word, performance and installation art are all morphing as digital, socially networked technologies present new opportunities. Hybrid new media objects and environments are emerging that blur distinctions and pose new challenges to information science researchers. The immense scale and rapidity of the transition to digital spheres is clear but the multi‐modal consequences are only beginning to be explored.Media Informatics is the study of how humans seek, use, share, manipulate, store, retrieve, and organize digital multimedia. Closely related to Informatics and to Media Ecology, Media Informatics studies the behaviors and practices related to new media objects and environments including social, political, entertainment, communication and information aspects of new media content in order to design and develop tools for media access, retrieval and storage. The intent of this panel is not to argue for the establishment of media informatics as a formal discipline in need of its own association, etc. Instead we argue that media informatics is the direction to which traditional informatics is evolving and we make the case for greater affinity with media ecologists as collaborators in this evolution.This panel will present an overview of media informatics including theoretical frameworks, tools, methods and research applications in current use. The first presentation outlines the background, scope and methodology of media informatics, while each of the subsequent three presentations deals with a specific new media informatics research project.

New Directions in Information History
Authors: Haigh Thomas , Downey Greg , Bowker Geoffrey , Aspray William 
Published: January 2010

AbstractRecent decades have seen an upsurge in scholarly activity in the history of information science. It has emerged as a field of study distinct from library history and from the history of computing. This panel explores the relevance of other historical approaches and the potential for information history to reach other audiences. Haigh sets the context for the session with a look at the evolution of information history and an examination of the challenges and rewards of reframing work in the area to address different questions. Bowker pushes back the scope of information history beyond its conventional focus on the events of the past century or so, and explores the social and organizational dimensions of this work. His central thesis is that information seeking has most often been a collaborative activity occurring in specific social and cultural settings. Downey examines past, present, and future connections between the history of communication and the history of information, in terms of both research literature and classroom practices. Finally, Aspray concludes the presentations with a look at the use of history in the study of information‐seeking behavior and of information in everyday life. Presentations will be kept short to leave plenty of time for interaction between the panelists and with other attendees.(Chair) Robert Williams, University of South CarolinaThomas Haigh, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, “Challenges and Opportunities in Information History”Greg Downey, University of Wisconsin, Madison, “Information history meets communication history.”Geoffrey Bowker, Santa Clara University, “‘Did that really happen?’ The search for the useful fact from the Enlightenment to the present”William Aspray, University of Texas, Austin, “The Use of History in Studying Information‐Seeking Behavior in Everyday American Life “
DataONE: Protecting the future of environmental and ecological data
Authors: Allard Suzie 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThis interactive panel addresses the theme of the conference “Thriving on Diversity‐ Information Opportunities in a Pluralistic World” by exploring the role of librarians and information scientists in DataONE (Observation Network for Earth), a cyberinfrastructure project that supports the full data lifecycle for scientists in the diverse domains that are embodied in environmental and ecological science. Collaborations like this between scientists and information professionals ((see Table 1 for full list of DataONE team members), are increasingly important, which is reflected by the “Science and Metadata Community” that is forming within the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative.The research activities of environmental and ecological scientists produce diverse multi‐scale, multi‐discipline, and multi‐national observational data. These data provide insights to address new environmental, social and technological challenges caused by climate variability, altered land use, population shifts, and changes in resource availability (e.g., food, water, and oil). Therefore scientists, educators, librarians, land managers, and the public need open, persistent, and secure access to well‐described and easily discovered Earth observational data. These data are critical because they form the basis for good scientific decisions, wise management and use of resources, and informed decision‐making.Securing our global scientific knowledge base by preserving these documents and datasets requires active management of the resources and the supporting technology, as well as, an awareness of current research. DataONE is one of two National Science Foundation DataNet Partners. The DataNet Partners serve as exemplars for national and global data management and research infrastructure organizations, and also provide unique opportunities to communities of researchers to advance science and engineering research and learning. Eventually there will be five DataNet Partners.DataONE focuses on multi‐disciplinary observational data collected by biological (genome to ecosystem) and environmental (atmospheric, ecological, hydrological, and oceanographic) scientists, national and international research networks, and environmental observatories. However, the DataONE structure is designed to be domain‐agnostic, so that it can be extended to serve a broader range of science domains both directly and through interoperability with other DataNet Partners.This panel of DataONE investigators focuses on four areas related to the challenges of the preservation of digital scientific data in any setting, not just for DataONE. The panel will be facilitated to encourage the audience to provide feedback, exchange ideas, and ask questions related to the role of information science, libraries and librarians in the process of creation, discovery, access, and manipulation of electronic scientific data.
Metatheoretical snowmen
Authors: Hartel Jenna 
Published: January 2010

AbstractMetatheory is the highest level conceptual device used in research and determines a way of thinking and speaking about reality and its information phenomena. Today, numerous metatheories exist in information science and create a dynamic climate, yet also some confusion. This panel aims to demystify methatheory by addressing the matter in a playful, comparative, competitive spirit. Articulate champions of five major metatheories will be given an opportunity to cast their metatheory onto the life and information experience of an ordinary and affable persona: a snowman. The vivid renderings of the snowman and its information world will bring the features of each metatheory into clear view. To invigorate both discussants and the audience, the presentations will be judged by a jury appointed on the spot. The panelist who offers the most illuminating exposition takes home a trophy while the audience gains new understanding.
Query formulation in web search
Authors: Efthimiadis Efthimis N. , Huang Jeff , Spink Amanda , Jansen Jim 
Published: January 2010

AbstractOver 2 billion searches are conducted daily on Web search engines. Some Web searches are re‐finding what was seen before, but many searches are query reformulation or refinements as attempts to retrieve better results. Previous studies have examined query formulation and reformulation from the mid‐seventies to today, including online intermediary and end‐user searching, CD‐ROM and OPAC environments, and Web search studies. Query research is important theoretically and practically for the Web industry. This panel presents three recent query formulation and reformulation studies in diverse environments and user groups, including Web search logs and Web searching by 4–5 year olds. The short panel presentations will highlight the theoretical and practical implications of the results and allow sufficient time to engage the audience in discussion.
