Study Design Controlled laboratory study using a repeated-measures, counterbalanced design. Objectives To test the ability of 8 Swiss ball exercises (roll-out, pike, knee-up, skier, hip extension right, hip extension left, decline push-up, and sitting march right) and 2 traditional abdominal exercises (crunch and bent-knee sit-up) on activating core (lumbopelvic hip complex) musculature. Background Numerous Swiss ball abdominal exercises are employed for core muscle strengthening during training and rehabilitation, but there are minimal data to substantiate the ability of these exercises to recruit core muscles. It is also unknown how core muscle recruitment in many of these Swiss ball exercises compares to core muscle recruitment in traditional abdominal exercises such as the crunch and bent-knee sit-up. Methods A convenience sample of 18 subjects performed 5 repetitions for each exercise. Electromyographic (EMG) data were recorded on the right side for upper and lower rectus abdominis, external and internal oblique, latissimus dorsi, lumbar paraspinals, and rectus femoris, and then normalized using maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVICs). Results EMG signals during the roll-out and pike exercises for the upper rectus abdominis (63% and 46% MVIC, respectively), lower rectus abdominis (53% and 55% MVIC, respectively), external oblique (46% and 84% MVIC, respectively), and internal oblique (46% and 56% MVIC, respectively) were significantly greater compared to most other exercises, where EMG signals ranged between 7% to 53% MVIC for the upper rectus abdominis, 7% to 44% MVIC for the lower rectus abdominis, 14% to 73% MVIC for the external oblique, and 16% to 47% MVIC for the internal oblique. The lowest EMG signals were consistently found in the sitting march right exercise. Latissimus dorsi EMG signals were greatest in the pike, knee-up, skier, hip extension right and left, and decline push-up (17%–25% MVIC), and least with the sitting march right, crunch, and bent-knee sit-up exercises (7%–8% MVIC). Rectus femoris EMG signal was greatest with the hip extension left exercise (35% MVIC), and least with the crunch, roll-out, hip extension right, and decline push-up exercises (6%–10% MVIC). Lumbar paraspinal EMG signal was relative low (less than 10% MVIC) for all exercises. Conclusions The roll-out and pike were the most effective exercises in activating upper and lower rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, and latissimus dorsi muscles, while minimizing lumbar paraspinals and rectus femoris activity.

Checkmark: A sign for the detection of iliopsoas pathology on MRI of the hip
Authors: Eshed Iris , Inbar Yael , Hertz Marjorie , Apter Sara 
Published: May 2010

Background: The iliopsoas compartment can be involved in many different disease processes with a wide variety of symptoms that may simulate avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. The psoas muscle merges with the iliacus to form a checkmark (√) shape in the coronal MRI plane, with normal muscle intensities, on both sides of the spine. Purpose: To evaluate whether abnormality of this checkmark shape (obliteration or abnormal intensity), the checkmark sign, can be used as a simple indicator of iliopsoas pathologies on MR examinations performed for suspected AVN of the hip. Material and Methods: A total of 75 hip MRI examinations performed during 2007 for suspected AVN (male:female ratio, 44:31; average age, 41 years) were retrospectively assessed. The iliopsoas compartment was assessed on the coronal T1 and T2 fat saturated sequences for the presence of the checkmark sign by a consensus of two readers. Results: Twenty-six patients had signs of AVN and 49 patients had either other hip findings or normal hips. A normal checkmark shape was observed in all but two examinations. Obliteration of the checkmark shape, a positive checkmark sign, in those two was due to psoas compartment pathology (infection and hematoma of the iliopsoas compartment). Conclusion: A positive checkmark sign (abnormal shape or intensity) can serve as a clue for unsuspected iliopsoas pathology when evaluating MRI of the hip in patients with suspected AVN.

Published: May 2010

Background: CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy is a well-established technique for the diagnosis of focal lung lesions. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) requires the presence of a cytopathologist on-site to assess the adequacy of samples. For this reason FNAB is less and less used, and core biopsy is the first-line procedure when an experienced cytopathologist is not immediately available. Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy and complication rate of CT-guided FNAB of lung lesions according to the experience of the cytopathologist on-site. Material and Methods: A total of 321 consecutive biopsies were considered. Immediate cytological assessment was performed by an experienced cytopathologist for the first 165 procedures (group A) and by two training pathologists for the remaining 156 biopsies (group B). At the time of FNAB the pathologist assigned a semiquantitative score (0–3) to each specimen to assess its diagnostic quality. All variables between the two groups were analyzed by chi-square and Student's t test. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: For all procedures, overall diagnostic accuracy was 80% for cytology alone, with no statistical difference between the two groups for diagnostic accuracy and sample score assigned. In all, 75% of the cytological samples (75% group A, 74% group B) obtained a higher score with a specific diagnosis of histotype. A post biopsy pneumothorax was detected in 27% of biopsies (25% group A, 28% group B). Thirteen patients (4.0%) required chest tube insertion for treatment. For all cases, the pneumothorax rate was significantly affected by the number of samples obtained ( P=0.02), but not by the pleural punctures ( P=0.15). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups concerning the number of needle passes and complication rate ( P>0.05). Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of CT-guided FNAB is not significantly affected by the training level of the cytopathologist on-site. Moreover, the number of specimens obtained for each procedure is a risk factor for pneumothorax.

Published: May 2010

Background: The use of image-guided thermoablative methods in liver tumor treatment has expanded rapidly due to encouraging results and advanced imaging. However, little is known about the treatment-induced tissue response and effects on imaging findings during the subacute post procedural period. Purpose: To study the development of subacute ablation zone volume with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after laser-mediated liver tumor thermal therapy. Material and Methods: In all, 16 laser ablations were performed on 16 liver tumors resulting in 16 ablation zones in 11 consecutive patients. A low-field 0.23 T C-arm MRI scanner was used for imaging and procedural guidance. Repeated dynamic contrast-enhanced T1, contrast-enhanced T1 FSE, and T2 FSE studies of liver were performed at 0 and 72 h after the procedure. Ablation zone volumes were registered from the acquired image data. Results: MRI scans showed a significant increase of ablation volume in all imaging sequences obtained at 72 h after the initial therapy. Conclusion: After laser ablation, there is a progressive perfusion decrease in the ablation site leading to an increase in the ablation volume. Post procedural baseline MRI at 72 h from the treatment provides more precise information about the ablation result than can be obtained with immediate post procedural MRI.

Published: May 2010

Background: Recent technological advances have made whole-body MRI feasible within a reasonable time-frame. The clinical utility of whole-body MRI in patients with renal cell carcinoma has not been evaluated yet. Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of whole-body MRI and computed tomography (CT) in follow-up of patients with renal cell carcinoma. Material and Methods: In 28 patients with primary renal cell carcinoma a multislice CT scan of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, and a whole-body MRI were carried out as part of the postoperative follow-up. A combination of subsequent imaging studies and histology served as standard of reference. Results: MRI demonstrated a significantly better diagnostic accuracy regarding musculoskeletal metastases compared with CT (97.7% vs 82%, P<0.001). In contrast, CT was superior in the detection of pulmonary metastases (88.5% vs 71.9%, P<0.001). Both methods had similar diagnostic performance regarding lymph node metastases (CT, accuracy 82.4%; MRI, accuracy 83.4%, P=0.25). The concordance of both modalities regarding N and M stage was excellent (Cohen's kappa 1.00). In two patients cerebral metastases were revealed by MRI, which led to a change in therapy. Conclusion: At this stage, whole-body MRI cannot be considered an adequate replacement for CT in the follow-up of patients with renal cell carcinoma. Further significant improvement of lung MR protocols is necessary, as CT's sensitivity for pulmonary nodules is clearly superior. In contrast, the main advantage of whole-body MRI is its high diagnostic accuracy for musculoskeletal metastases.

Published: May 2010

Objective: To assess the level of awareness about causes, prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia among women of reproductive age in Hubei province, a south eastern province of China.Method: Cross sectional study was conducted by using a self designed standardized pretested questionnaire in peripheral areas of Wuhan city, the capital of Hubei province from January 2009 to December 2009.Women aged 18-45 years without any previous history of medical or gynecological problems were recruited.Results: A total 385 women were surveyed for Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).77.9% women (n=300) were aware of the term IDA, with the highest proportion of 88.1% falling in age group 25-35 years. Most of the women were aware of the fact that their diet contains iron and its importance in health. Women who had children and of working class had greater knowledge about the iron deficiency anemia.Conclusion: Awareness regarding IDA is directly linked with the educational and social status of a community and is found to be increasing with the passage of time with exploration and accessibility to media and health care facilities. Women of younger ages are more concern about their own health and much careful about their expected babies in terms of nutritional facts as compared to the elder ladies.Keywords: Iron deficiency anemia; Reproductive ageDOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i1.2607Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.1(1) 2010 p.12-13

Published: May 2010

Objective: To study the effect of AMLODIPINE on blood sugar levels in hypertensive patients.Method: It is a prospective study in which patients were selected from Princess Esra hospital, Hyderabad.Results: This study was done on 20 mild to moderate newly detected hypertensive patients. Statistical analysis shows a highly significant rise in blood sugar level with ‘P' value < 0.001 after 2 and 4 weeks of using 2.5 to 5 mgm (once daily) amlodipine.Conclusion: As calcium channels are involved in the release of insulin from the β cells of pancreas, calcium channel blockers like amlodipine may cause hyperglycemia when used in hypertensive patients. Further studies are required in this field on a larger number of patients.Keywords: Amlodipine; Calcium channel blockers; Diabetes Mellitus; HypertensionDOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i1.2777Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.1(1) 2010 p.4-5
Factors Associated with Nutritional Status of the Under Five Children
Authors: Pradhan Amita 
Published: May 2010

Objective: To identify factors associated to the nutritional status of under five children.Method: The data used in this analysis are from Demographic and Health Survey 2006 conducted in Nepal. Total 5262 cases are included in the present study. A multinomial logistic regression model is used to study the relation between various factors and nutritional status.Results: Increasing body mass index of mothers and wealth index shows decreasing likelihood of malnutrition among children. Rural children show insignificant higher likelihood of different forms of underweight and wasting as compared to urban area. Frequency of listening radio does not show significant association in case of mild and moderate wasting and shown very high unusual odds ratio in case of severe wasting. Similarly, lower frequency of watching television also does not show significantly higher likeliness of different form of stunting, underweight and wasting. Female children are more likely to be stunted, underweight and wasted as compared to male. Female headed households are more likely to have moderately and mildly stunted children and mixed results are observed for underweight and wasting. The likelihood for all forms of malnutrition is higher among children with smaller than average size at birth as compared to average or bigger size at birth. Mixed results are observed regarding likelihood of different forms of malnutrition among children with mothers having different educational level.Conclusion: Body mass index of mothers is found significant variable while explaining children's nutritional status. Similarly, Size at birth is significantly associated with nutrition during the childhood.Keywords: Stunting; wasting; under weight; under five childrenDOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i1.2927Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.1(1) 2010 p.6-8
Verfahrensanweisung für die nuklear medizinische Wächter-Lymphknoten-Diagnostik

SummaryThe authors present a procedure guideline for scintigraphic detection of sentinel lymph nodes in malignant melanoma and other skin tumours, in breast cancer, in head and neck cancer, and in prostate and penile carcinoma. Important goals of sentinel lymph node scintigraphy comprise reduction of the extent of surgery, lower postoperative morbidity and optimization of histopathological examination focussing on relevant lymph nodes. Sentinel lymph node scintigraphy itself does not diagnose tumorous lymph node involvement and is not indicated when lymph node metastases have been definitely diagnosed before sentinel lymph node scintigraphy. Procedures are compiled with the aim to reliably localise sentinel lymph nodes with a high detection rate typically in early tumour stages. Radiation exposure is low so that pregnancy is not a contraindication for sentinel lymph node scintigraphy. Even with high volumes of scintigraphic sentinel lymph node procedures surgeons, theatre staff and pathologists receive a radiation exposure < 1 mSv/year so that they do not require occupational radiation surveillance.
Le corps et la structure
Authors: Yankelevich Hector 
Published: May 2010

Le propos de cette note de recherche est a) d’étudier la différence entre les deux théories du miroir chez Lacan, autant comme théories psychanalytiques qu’en référence aux modifications dans la connaissance du cerveau qui eurent lieu en neurologie entre 1930 et 1960; b) de suivre sur le plan épistémique le changement de paradigme opéré en embryologie et dans la théorie de l’évolution entre Freud et Lacan ; c) de commencer à esquisser l’isomorphisme entre les théories de l’aliénation/séparation, certaines formalisations algébriques et logiques, par exemple les quanteurs de la sexuation, et les temps des identifications freudiennes; d) de soutenir le chevauchement, au moins pendant un certain temps – mais pas pour autant moins significatif – et surtout pendant la cure, de la première – Φ – et la deuxième – S1 – identifications.
La pertinence du délire chez l'enfant
Authors: Gorog Jean-Jacques 
Published: May 2010

Bref rappel historique avant d’aborder le malentendu clinique et théorique non sans conséquences : la psychose de l’enfant est régulièrement méconnue, le délire confondu avec une imagination excessive, et de plus, l’effet souvent spectaculaire de la parole trompe quant au diagnostic en supposant un passage à la névrose ainsi qu’un arrêt de la cure particulièrement dommageable dans les suites.
Quelle place pour le père aujourd'hui ? Quel père pour François ?
Authors: Sgambato Martine 
Published: May 2010

La psychanalyse peut réserver un accueil singulier à ce qui fait symptôme pour un enfant et à son articulation avec le symptôme parental. « Quel père pour François ? » Cette question que sa mère adresse à un Autre lors d’un accueil enfants-parents dans une consultation de PMI inaugure un travail analytique d’une femme devenue mère et de son bébé. C’est aussi un appel de détresse que la mère adresse alors. Ce vacillement maternel met aussi en risque psychique le devenir de François. L’élaboration de la mère de François lui permet peu à peu de donner un sens signifiant aux pleurs de son bébé et François cherche aussi à accrocher la jouissance du grand Autre maternel. La mère interroge également son histoire de petite fille et de femme. Le questionnement que la mère de François adresse à l’analyste lui permet de faire appel à un Autre qu’elle-même pour son enfant, créant alors la possibilité d’un frayage de la fonction paternelle.

Les objets kleiniens
Authors: Parmentier Sabine 
Published: May 2010

Les objets kleiniens sont fantasmatiques, multiples, protéiformes et fonctionnent par paires : bon/mauvais, perdu/retrouvé, interne/externe. Les objets existent dès la naissance. L’inconscient est un réseau des relations d’objet. Le surmoi est caractérisé par sa précocité, son sadisme, les nombreux objets internes qui en font partie et rendent possible son évolution vers une meilleure intégration. La notion d’objet interne fait partie des grandes découvertes kleiniennes.

En passant par Hans, la trajectoire de Herbert : panorama sur la phobie
Authors: Bédère Serge 
Published: May 2010

À un moment où toutes sortes de thérapies courtes et centrées sur les comportements font florès pour traiter les phobies, et où l’évaluation est devenue un mot d’ordre, il est intéressant de faire une relecture du premier cas de phobie d’enfant décrit dans la littérature psychanalytique, celui du « petit Hans ». La relecture qui en est proposée dans cet article s’appuie sur une étude croisée des écrits et des déclarations que tant Max Graf, le père, que Herbert Graf le fils, ont produits durant plus de soixante ans. L’ensemble de ces éléments est riche pour apprécier la portée, après coup, du fait que le jeune garçon ait été écouté au moment où il développe un épisode phobique, et les ouvertures que cela aura pu tracer dans sa vie d’adulte...
L'objet lumineux dans l'œuvre de Nathalie Sarraute
Authors: Morache Marie-Andrée 
Published: May 2010

L’auteur met en évidence deux plans d’écriture qui traversent l’œuvre de Nathalie Sarraute : celui du sens commun et un second, invisible, qui est précisément celui qui intéresse le travail de l’écrivain. Ces deux plans interviennent à travers des oppositions entre des réseaux de métaphores. Le lumineux concerne la réalité de surface, l’autre niveau de réalité est évoqué par l’ombre et l’obscurité. La réalité cachée a besoin de son obscurité pour survivre et est perpétuellement en danger de disparaître sous l’offensive de la réalité connue, sous son éclairage. Cette opposition entre lumière et ombre est renforcée par des séries d’objets et de formes qui ont la caractéristique de la dureté et de la brillance. Le texte Enfance met en scène une mère qui est terrible dans son aspect omniprésent et lumineux. Le travail de l’écrivain est bien là de conjurer ce trop de visibilité et de plonger ces images dans la complexité du voilement. Une analogie est proposée et soutenue entre le travail de l’écrivain selon Sarraute et le travail du psychanalyste, l’écrivain comme le psychanalyste opèrent une conjonction du réel et du signifiant, explorant et respectant la part d’ombre du sujet.
Frustration
Authors: Stute-Cadiot Johanna 
Published: May 2010

Le texte se propose de retracer l’évolution du terme de frustration depuis son emploi par Freud pour définir la névrose jusqu’à son apparition massive dans le discours social autour de l’éducation pour donner voix au malaise dans la culture. Il permet dorénavant de nommer un vécu subjectif par rapport à la répression de la pulsion et se trouve de ce fait au carrefour de la psychanalyse et de l’éducation, là où se situent les lieux d’accueil parents/enfants dans leur projet de soutenir une démarche éducative qui tienne compte de ce que Françoise Dolto a théorisé avec le concept de « castration symboligène ».
Un cogito onirique dans un rêve de Breton
Authors: Perruche Mariane 
Published: May 2010

Depuis Descartes, la quête de la vérité peut avoir lieu dans l’expérience onirique. L’absence de coupure épistémologique entre le rêver et le théoriser est ici illustrée par une série de cinq rêves d’André Breton. Le poète continue en rêve à penser et à chercher sa place en tant que surréaliste. L’expérience onirique de Breton tire également sa force de l’éclairage que lui apporte Le cerveau de l’enfant de Chirico. Le tableau et les rêves explorent la même énigme, celle de l’inconscient. Fortement influencé par la théorie freudienne du rêve, Breton ne livre cependant aucune interprétation, laissant le rêve s’éclairer par sa propre lumière. Quelle conception de l’inconscient se dégage de cette pratique intense, et peut-être même lucide, du rêve ?
