Effects of Dam Removal on Fish Assemblage Structure and Spatial Distributions in the Baraboo River, Wisconsin
Authors: Catalano Matthew J. , Bozek Michael A. , Pellett Thomas D. 
Published: April 2007

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of dam removal on fish assemblage structure and spatial distributions after four low-head dam removals in the Baraboo River, Wisconsin, using data collected at 35 study sites over 7 years. After dam removal, biotic integrity scores (possible range = 0–100) increased by 35–50 points at three of the four former impoundments as a result of decreases in percent tolerant species, increases in the number of intolerant species, and in some cases, increases in species richness. Fish assemblage shifts were muted at a fourth, lower-gradient impoundment site, indicating that responses differ among dam sites within a river system. In tailwater areas, postremoval assemblage shifts were transient; biotic integrity and species richness declined initially but then recovered at two of the three sites within 2 years after dam removal. An analysis of spatial distributions before dam removal revealed 11 fish species that were found below, but rarely or never above, the downstream-most dam. After dam removal, 10 of the 11 species were collected at new sites upstream from the dam, indicating that recolonization of reconnected upstream sites had occurred. Some species recolonized rapidly and in large numbers. For example, emerald shiners Notropis atherinoides recolonized 16 upstream sites and were collected 123 km upstream from the dam within the first year after removal. One of the nine recolonizing species, the spotted sucker Minytrema melanops, was only detected during spring, suggesting that these fish recolonized seasonally, perhaps for spawning. Recolonizing species were generally lacustrine or large-river fishes known to undergo overwintering and spawning migrations. Our study suggests that dam removal is a viable option for restoring lotic fish communities, but further study is needed on recovery patterns as they relate to channel morphology, hydrologic characteristics, impoundment sediment storage capacity, and the distance to source populations of recolonizing taxa.
Evaluating Walleye Length Limits in the Face of Population Variability: Case Histories from Western Minnesota
Authors: Isermann Daniel A. 
Published: April 2007

Abstract
Population and fishery responses to the implementation of minimum length limits (356 and 381 mm total length) for walleyes Sander vitreus were evaluated for two Minnesota populations (Big Stone Lake and Lac Qui Parle) and were compared with population trends observed in a single reference lake (Lake Traverse) between 1991 and 2004. High variation in walleye recruitment (coefficient of variation (CV = 100 × SD/mean) in mean gill-net catch per unit effort of age-2 walleyes &gt; 98%) was observed in all study populations and also in recruitment indices from 20 populations across North America (mean CV = 112%), indicating that high variability in recruitment is common. Walleye growth rates were also variable; mean length at age 3 varied by more than 120 mm among year-classes in all three study populations. Observed trends in population age- and size-structure indices estimated from gill nets appeared to be largely related to growth and recruitment patterns both before and after the regulations were in place. No direct evidence existed to indicate that adult walleye abundance, size structure, or age structure was improved after implementation of length limits or that the regulations reduced annual variation in size structure. In light of recruitment variation, meaningful evaluation of walleye length limits will require long-term annual sampling efforts designed to monitor the fate of multiple year-classes of similar magnitudes during both preregulation and postregulation periods. Lastly, managers must select meaningful metrics to measure the effects of length limits. Observed improvements in fishery-related metrics, such as size structure of harvested fish, may merely reflect changes in angler behavior rather than actual improvements in the population. Also, fishery-based metrics may be difficult to measure given the budgetary and logistical constraints associated with creel surveys.
Otolith Chemistry Discriminates among Hatchery-Reared and Tributary-Spawned Salmonines in a Tailwater System

Published: April 2007

Abstract
The Little Red River tailwater (LRRT) system in Arkansas supports a naturally reproducing population of brown trout Salmo trutta and an economically valuable fishery. Natural reproduction by stocked brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss is unknown but assumed to be negligible. An artificial tributary to the LRRT was constructed to provide a spawning and nursery refuge for stocked trouts, and shortly thereafter we observed spawning adults and emergent fry in the tributary. As a first step in determining the relative contributions of hatchery- and tributary-produced brook and rainbow trouts recruiting to the LRRT fishery, we distinguished hatchery-reared fry from tributary-spawned fry via otolith chemistry. We used laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure the abundances of cations in otoliths. Significant differences between hatchery and wild stocks were found for six element : Ca ratios. A five-variable (Mg, Mn, Zn, Sr, and Ba) discriminant model was sufficient to distinguish the two brook trout stocks with 100% accuracy, and a two-variable (Sr and Ba) model discriminated between the two rainbow trout stocks with 94% accuracy. Differences in ambient water chemistry between the two rearing habitats most likely accounted for these distinct otolith signatures. Otolith analysis of brook trout parr of unknown origin captured in the LRRT system suggests that natural reproduction is occurring there and that this stock may be supplemented with tributary-spawned immigrants. After interannual variation in habitat-specific otolith chemical signatures is quantified, such an analytical tool would be useful to managers in the LRRT system and elsewhere in determining the relative contributions of various stocks to reproductive and harvested populations.
Neuromuscular Training Versus Strength Training During First 6 Months After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Risberg May Arna , Holm Inger , Myklebust Grethe , Engebretsen Lars 
Published: April 2007

Background and Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a 6-month neuromuscular training (NT) program versus a traditional strength training (ST) program following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Subjects
Seventy-four subjects with ACL reconstruction participated in the study.

Methods
The study was a randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial. The NT and ST groups were tested preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months. The main outcome measure was the Cincinnati Knee Score. Secondary outcome measures were visual analog scales (VASs) for pain and function, the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), hop tests, isokinetic muscle strength, proprioception, and static and dynamic balance tests.

Results
The NT group demonstrated significantly improved Cincinnati Knee Scores and VAS scores for global knee function compared with the ST group at the 6-month follow-up. There were no significant differences between the groups for the other outcome measures (ie, hop, balance, proprioception, and muscle strength tests).

Discussion and Conclusion
The results of this study suggest that exercises included in the NT program should be part of the rehabilitation program following ACL reconstruction.
Differential Diagnosis of Endometriosis in a Young Adult Woman With Nonspecific Low Back Pain
Authors: Troyer Mark R 
Published: April 2007

Background and PurposeEndometriosis is a common gynecological disorder that can cause musculoskeletal symptoms and manifest as nonspecific low back pain.Case DescriptionThe patient was a 25-year-old woman who reported the sudden onset of severe left-sided lumbosacral, lower quadrant, buttock, and thigh pain. The physical therapist examination revealed findings suggestive of a pelvic visceral disorder during the diagnostic process. The physical therapist referred the patient for medical consultation, and she was later diagnosed by a gynecologist with endometriosis and a left ovarian cyst.OutcomesThe patient underwent laser laparoscopy and excision of the ovarian cyst followed by a regimen of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. The intervention resulted in abolition of the lower quadrant pain and a significant reduction of the back and leg pain that enabled the patient to return to her normal activities.DiscussionA thorough physical therapist examination that considers all of the musculoskeletal, visceral, and psychosocial components is essential to identify pelvic disorders such as endometriosis and other disease processes during the differential diagnosis of nonspecific low back pain. Medical consultation is necessary to provide proper diagnosis and intervention of endometriosis, but physical therapists also may have an important role in the identification of endometriosis and the management of the musculoskeletal aspects of the disorder.
Water Dreams, Earthen Histories: Exploring Urban Environmental History at the Penrith Lakes Scheme and Castlereagh, Sydney
Authors: Karskens Grace 
Published: April 2007

Abstract
Urban environmental history comprises both human and ecological experience; the two were and are inseparable, and their interaction is dynamic. This essay explores the human and bioregional history of the Penrith Lakes Scheme at Castlereagh in outer Western Sydney as a case study in integrating the two approaches. Conceived in the late 1960s, the Scheme is a quintessential 'hybrid landscape', aiming to rehabilitate 2,000 hectares of open-cut gravel quarries by creating huge artificial lakes and landforms. But it destroyed a rich palimpsest of earlier farming and Aboriginal landscapes, both of which had also transformed the environment. By focusing on this place over time, it is possible to track the succession of Aboriginal, settler, industrial and urban histories, to explore the shifting meanings of this environment, the different ways they knew and shaped this country, and the politics and strategic uses of different types of environmental knowledge.

The World's Biggest Sculptor: The Architecture of Massimiliano Fuksas
Authors: Casciani Stefano 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAt the start of the new millennium, Massimiliano Fuksas was one of the most significant Italian architects working outside his home country. His reputation in Italy and abroad, however, was taken to a further level by his completion of the New Milan Trade Fair. Stefano Casciani, an ex‐student of Fuksas, provides an insightful and intriguing account of his ‘old’ professor: a robust and seemingly contradictory figure who is capable of great voluminous expression and delicacy. Casciani also finds constancy in his unrelenting energy, freshness and wit. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The Middle Generation

Published: April 2007

AbstractVictoria Marshall and Brian McGrath have developed and transferred the ecological model of ‘patch dynamics’ to urban landscape design. It is an approach that stresses the resilient, flexible and adaptable nature of cities, interacting with a ‘notion of disturbance ecology rather than a benign nature’. Here they apply their design approach to Hoboken, on the New Jersey Gold Coast, which, only a hop and a skip from Manhattan, directly across the Hudson from the Financial District, remains culturally and economically diverse.

Dose‐related subclinical neurobehavioral effects of chronic exposure to low levels of organic solvents
Authors: Bleecker Margit L. , Bolla Karen I. , Agnew Jacqueline , Schwartz Brian S. , Ford D. Patrick 
Published: April 2007

AbstractOne hundred eight‐seven workers (mean age ± SD; 42 ± 8.8 years) in two paint manufacturing plants were examined to determine if sustained low‐level exposure to mixed organic solvents resulted in the painters' syndrome (a psycho‐organic syndrome). The test battery consisted of a medical and occupational questionnaire, the Present State Examination, the Zung Depression Scale, the Scandinavian Questionnaire 16, a neu‐ropsychological battery, and vibration thresholds. Solvent exposure, expressed as total hydrocarbon of combined selected solvents, was quantitated using 13–15 years of personal breathing zone samplings. Linear regression analysis controlling for several confounding variables demonstrated significant correlations between increasing exposure to mixed organic solvents and neurobehavioral performance for vibration threshold and several neuropsychological tests. Dose‐related effects of chronic solvent exposure on neurobehavioral outcomes (all subclinical) were shown, but “typical” symptoms characteristic of the painter's syndrome were not found.
Work‐related deaths in children
Authors: Suruda Anthony , Halperin William 
Published: April 2007

AbstractAn analysis of OSHA fatality investigations for 1984–1987 found 104 work‐related deaths in children. The largest category (30%) involved industrial vehicles and equipment. followed by electrocution (17%) and falls (11%). Forty‐three deaths (41%) occurred while engaged in types of work prohibited for children by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Three deaths involved work with conveyors, an activity currently permitted for child workers under FLSA. OSHA issued citations for safety violations in 70% of deaths. Since OSHA investigates only some work‐related deaths, the actual number of child labor fatalities during the four year period was probably higher. Using information from OSHA and from death certificate data, we estimate that there are at least 100 work‐related deaths in the United States in children under 18 each year. Hazardous child labor continues to occur even in industries regulated by OSHA and FLSA.
Parental occupational exposures and risk of childhood cancer: A review
Authors: O'Leary Lindy M. , Hicks Anthony M. , Peters John M. , London Stephanie 
Published: April 2007

AbstractWe reviewed the literature in order to summarize the present knowledge on the association between parental occupational exposures to chemicals and the risk of childhood malignancy. The 32 studies pertaining to this topic were evaluated by considering various study qualities such as sample size, specificity of outcome, confounding, exposure specificity, and control selection. When evaluating the findings from any epidemiologic study, the potential sources of bias have to be considered. The selection of subjects, misclassification of exposure or outcome, and confounding from extraneous factors can contribute to a biased estimate of effect. Studies done to minimize these potential biases will be more valid, and these studies should be given the most weight when parental occupational exposures are evaluated as risk factors for childhood malignancy. We conclude that the preponderance of evidence supports the hypothesis that occupational exposure of parents to chemicals increases the risk of childhood malignancy. The parental occupational exposures implicated in childhood malignancy risk are exposure to chemicals including paints, petroleum products, solvents (especially chlorinated hydrocarbons) and pesticides, and exposure to metals. The available data do not allow the identification of specific etiologic agents within these categories of compounds. Future epidemiologic and toxicologic studies should be designed to pursue these leads.
Irritative symptoms and exposure to mineral wool
Authors: Petersen Rolf , Sabroe Svend 
Published: April 2007

AbstractIn a cross‐sectional study undertaken in 1981 using a postal questionnaire, the prevalence of irritative symptoMS was investigated among 2,654 Danish construction workers working with mineral wool. An evaluation was undertaken in a multivariate logit analysis of the relationship between exposure level (measured by hours of exposure to mineral wool per month) and prevalence of symptoMS. The analysis controlled for the confounders of age, smoking habits, and exposure to organic solvents. With greater exposure to mineral wool, there was a statistically significant increase in the frequency of irritative symptoMS from the eyes, the skin, and the upper respiratory tract. Among construction workers working with mineral wool 160–180 hours per month, two‐thirds had these symptoMS once a week or oftener. The occurrence was 2–3 times higher compared with the construction workers not working with mineral wool. The relationship between exposure to mineral wool and skin and mucous membrane symptoMS may be explained by the irritative action of the fibers that are given off during insulation work.
Development, use, and availability of a job exposure matrix based on national occupational hazard survey data
Authors: Sieber W. Karl , Sundin David S. , Frazier Todd M. , Robinson Cynthia F. 
Published: April 2007

AbstractA job exposure matrix has been developed based on potential exposure data collected during the 1972–1974 National Occupational Hazard Survey (NOHS). The survey sample was representative of all U.S. non‐agricultural businesses covered under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and employing eight or more employees. Potential worker exposure to all chemical, physical, or biological agents was recorded during the field survey if certain minimum guidelines for exposure were met. The job exposure matrix (JEM) itself is a computerized database that assists the user in determining potential chemical or physical exposures in occupational settings. We describe the structure and possible uses of the job exposure matrix. In one example, potential occupational exposures to elemental lead were grouped by industry and occupation. In a second example, the matrix was used to determine exposure classifications in a hypothetical case‐control study. Present availability as well as future enhancements of the job exposure matrix are described.
