While politically correct, is such an assertion true? Are players within African governments able to formulate development policy independently of global development IGOS (like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund) or are decisions made by African governments still largely underpinned by the wishes of hegemonic development institutions? This essay argues for the latter interpretation.\n\n\nUsing a Gramscian framework, I offer a case study of the World Bank's reaction to Leslye Obiora, the former Minister of Mines and Steel Development for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, when she rejected a $120 million World Bank loan that she deemed to be usurious. My thesis is that because of her rejection of the World Bank loans on behalf of Nigerian civil society, Obiora was thus viewed as a threat to the propagation of the World Bank’s hegemonic development ideology. A Gramscian organic crisis ensued, and, unable to ideologically co-opt her through the process of “transformismo,” the World Bank “rejected” Obiora in favor of a Minister more sympathetic to its pre-established development ideology. Due to their tendency to “reject” African elites who espouse alternative modalities of development for their nascent communities, I argue that the undemocratic nature of the International Financial Institutions leads African civil society to suffer an exclusion from the global development processes that are ostensibly intended for their benefit.\n\n\nThis essay begins by introducing Leslye Obiora and offers a brief explanation of the conditions surrounding her resignation from her post as Nigeria’s Minister of Mining and Steel Development. It next proceeds by introducing various Gramscian concepts and relating them to the sundry players in the contemporary political-economy relevant to an investigation of Dr. Obiora’s interactions with the World Bank. In conclusion, it explicitly explains how a Gramscian, neo-Marxist vision of African governments’ relationships with the World Bank and IMF may be said to have ultimately led to Dr. Obiora’s resignation from her Ministerial post. Throughout, it emphasizes that although this is one interpretation of her experience, it should not be viewed as exclusively explanatory.", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [ { "word": "Gramsci" }, { "word": "Africa" }, { "word": "development" }, { "word": "democracy" }, { "word": "civil society" }, { "word": "demoratization" }, { "word": "African Studies" }, { "word": "Area Studies" }, { "word": "Political Science and Government" } ], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/68b6p6q1", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Jason", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Warner", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Yale University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2009-06-12T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2009-06-12T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-12-03T13:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ufahamu/article/56830/galley/43131/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 56831, "title": "Is The Financial Crisis Playing Against China In Africa?", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "China’s increasing role in Africa has for almost five years now become a recurrent theme of conversation within academic and geostrategic circles.

Fifty-nine elementary schools, designated as Fine Arts Schools by the district, were organized as a Fine Arts School Network. The school district partnered with an external arts organization to deliver research-based, consistent and collaborative professional development to art, music, dance, and drama teachers over three years. This government-funded professional development initiative explored the impact of network-based intensive professional development for arts teachers in four specific areas: 1) their role in building community in their schools; their roles as community builders in their schools, 2) their role in building curriculum with non-arts teachers in their schools, 3) their role in building their own leadership capacities. The final area for investigation focused on the impact of network-based professional development for arts teachers on their home schools. Quantitative data, including surveys of participating arts teachers, and qualitative data, including curriculum projects, student work, online documentation templates, interviews and focus groups were collected and analyzed. Results indicated that arts teachers spent more time with their principals and with their non arts teacher colleagues as a result of the professional development they received. They also developed a deeper understanding of the value of an arts integration curriculum in which their own arts expertise contributes to the design of learning and teaching, particularly in the literacy areas of story elements, analytical writing, creative writing, and critique of arts experiences. The study also demonstrated how professional development contributed to arts teachers’ capacity to take leadership in their schools by serving on School Improvement teams, contributing to decisions regarding external arts partnerships, and implementing staff development. The study offered implications for schools districts regarding the importance of targeted professional development for arts specialists. Further, the study indicated roles for external arts partnership organizations in district-supported professional development, as opposed to a more familiar model of school-specific residencies.

Using the principles of behaviorism in conjunction with developmentally appropriate practice has helped young children to extend their knowledge in the visual arts. The Andy Warhol project was an extension of an earlier project where children were exposed to copies of famous art prints along with guided teacher questions to provoke interest and reflection. The thought-provoking questions prepared by the teacher were specific to each print in pursuit of helping children to obtain a more in-depth understanding. The teacher conversed about the artist and included appealing tidbits about his/her techniques for painting. The teacher documented the children’s comments and attached them to the print that was hung in the classroom at their eye level for further reference. With children gaining experiences with the visual arts through careful examination of replicas of famous artworks, the teachers speculated about using behavioral approaches such as direct instruction to scaffold children’s efforts of painting replicas. The goal of the subsequent visual arts project was to extend the current one by offering children additional opportunities to closely examine the print in order to re-produce it by using acrylic paints on a canvas. This addition of painting a print helped young children to focus on a task and lead to their sense of accomplishment and further their interest in the visual arts. Currently, the four-year-olds are studying and discussing the paintings of Andy Warhol: hence the name of the reproduction project. It was inspired by reading the book, Uncle Andy’s: A Faabbbulous visit with Andy Warhol by James Warhola. The benefits of this project are numerous.

However, it has received less attention in foreign/second contexts. This article explores how drama for learning can impact upon the relationships among attitudes, motivation and learning in French second language (FSL) classrooms. The authors describe a second language research project done in grade 9 and 10 classrooms based on the principles of drama for learning including play and make believe, learning in context, and ownership of learning. Global simulation, the particular form of drama for learning used in the project, involves a voyage of discovery undertaken by a group involving a final destination and an itinerary. During this second language journey, students act, react and interact to create meaningful individual and group experiences and incorporate cooperative learning principles. The approach also allows the facilitators to draw on Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory in order to structure activities that maximize students’ individual strengths. The research project included development and piloting of the global simulation module, assessment of the pilot as well as assessment of implications for its future use. Data gathered for assessment included student questionnaires and teacher interviews. Results of the project indicated that there were improvements in the learning environments, including an increased level of motivation on the part of the learners involved. The teachers also expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the approach, especially because of their involvement in the development and implementation of the material from the beginning, which appeared to give them a sense of ownership and empowered them in their professional growth. Students also appeared to become more active and engaged in their learning as a result of a sense of ownership over their drama productions. In general, the results suggest that drama for learning and specifically global simulation are viable approaches for grade 9 and 10 FSL classes.

domino effects on the entire hospital. Although difficult to define and once limited to anecdotal evidence, crowding is receiving more attention as attempts are made to quantify the problem objectively. It is a worldwide phenomenon with regional influences, as exemplified when analyzing the problem in Europe compared to that of the United States. In both regions, an aging population, limited hospital resources, staff shortages and delayed ancillary services are key contributors; however, because the structure of healthcare differs from country to country, varying influences affect the issue of crowding. The approach to healthcare delivery as a right of all people, as opposed to a free market commodity, depends on governmental organization and appropriation of funds. Thus, public funding directly influences potential crowding factors, such as number of hospital beds, community care facilities, and staffing. Ultimately ED crowding is a universal problem with distinctly regional root causes; thus, any approach to address the problem must be tailored to regional influences.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009; 10:233-239].", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "none", "short_name": "none", "text": "", "url": "http://google.com" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "crowding" }, { "word": "emergency department" }, { "word": "Europe" }, { "word": "Delivery of Health care in Emergnecy Departments" }, { "word": "Emergency Medicine" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4fd144vt", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Namita", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Jayaprakash", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "St. Vincent’s University Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, Dublin, Ireland", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Ronan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "O'Sullivan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Department of Emergency Medicine, Dublin, Ireland", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Tareg", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bey", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine, Orange, CA", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Suleman", "middle_name": "S", "last_name": "Ahmed", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Shahram", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lotfipour", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine, Orange, CA", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2008-10-05T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2008-10-05T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-11-01T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17068/galley/8626/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 17104, "title": "Emergency Department Patients with Psychiatric Complaints Return at Higher Rates than Controls", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Study objective: At our 35,000 visit/year emergency department (ED), we studied whether patients presenting to the ED with psychiatric complaints were admitted to the hospital at a higher rate than non-psychiatric patients, and whether these patients had a higher rate of reevaluation in the ED within 30 days following the index visit.\n\n\nMethods: We reviewed the electronic records of all ED patients receiving a psychiatric evaluation from January to February 2007 and compared these patients to 300 randomly selected patients presenting during the study period for non-psychiatric complaints. Patients were followed for 30 days, and admission rates and return visits were compared.\n\n\nResults: Two hundred thirty-four patients presented to the ED and were evaluated for psychiatric complaints during the study period. Twenty-four point seven percent of psychiatric patients were admitted upon initial presentation versus 20.7% of non-psychiatric patients (p = 0.258).

As the program matured, “false-positive” (defined as no PCI or coronary artery occlusion upon PCI) field MI activations have been identified as a problem for the program.\n\n\nObjectives: To identify potentially correctable factors associated with false-positive EMS triage to PCI centers.\n\n\nMethods: This was a retrospective, outcome study of EMS 12-lead cases from February 2006 to June 2007. The study system exclusively used cardiac monitor internal interpretation algorithms indicating an acute myocardial infarction as the basis for triage. Indicators and variables were defined prior to the study. Data, including outcome, was from the Orange County EMS database, which included copies of 12-lead ECGs used for field triage. Negative odds ratios (OR) of less than 1.0 for positive PCI were the statistical measure of interest.\n\n\nResults: Five hundred forty-eight patients were triaged from the field for PCI. We excluded 19 cases from the study because of death prior to PCI, refusal of PCI, and co-morbid illness (sepsis, altered consciousness) that precluded PCI. Three hundred ninety-three (74.3%) patients had PCI with significant coronary lesions found. False-positive field triages were associated with underlying cardiac rhythm of sinus tachycardia [OR = 0.38 (95% CI 0.23, 0.62)]; atrial fibrillation [OR = 0.43 (95% CI = 0.20, 0.94)]; an ECG lead not recorded [OR = 0.39 (95% CI = 0.20, 0.76)]; poor ECG baseline [OR = 0.59 (95% CI = 0.25, 1.37)]; One of three brands of monitors used in the field [OR = 0.35 (95% CI = 0.21, 0.59)]; and female gender [OR = 0.50 (95% CI = 0.34, 0.75)]. Age was not associated with false-positive triage as determined by ordinal regression (p=1.00).\n\n\nConclusion: For the urban-suburban EMS field 12-lead program studied, age was not associated with false-positive triage. It was unexpected that female gender was associated with false-positive triage. False-positive triage from the field was associated with poor ECG acquisition, underlying rhythms of atrial fibrillation and sinus tachycardia, and one brand of 12-lead monitor.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009;10(4):208-212]", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "none", "short_name": "none", "text": "", "url": "http://google.com" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "emergency medical services (EMS)" }, { "word": "Percutaneous Coronary Intervention" }, { "word": "acute myocardial infarction" }, { "word": "ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction" }, { "word": "electrocardiogram" }, { "word": "Emergency Medicine" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9rh3q0rk", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Pamela", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Yamamoto Swan", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Irvine, CA", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Beverly", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Nighswonger", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Orange County California Health Care Agency", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Gregory", "middle_name": "L", "last_name": "Boswell", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Emergency Medical Services, Orange County California Health Care Agency, Santa Ana, CA", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Samuel", "middle_name": "J.", "last_name": "Stratton", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine, Orange, CA", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2009-04-15T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2009-04-15T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-11-01T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17043/galley/8614/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 17047, "title": "International Disaster Medical Sciences Fellowship: Model Curriculum and Key Considerations for Establishment of an Innovative International Educational Program", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "As recent events highlight, a global requirement exists for evidence-based training in the emerging field of Disaster Medicine.

The four urologic emergencies discussed are priapism, paraphimosis, testicular torsion, and Fournier’s gangrene. An overview is given for each, including causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and new developments. The focus for priapism is on diagnosis and distinguishing high-flow from low-flow forms, as the latter requires emergent treatment. For paraphimosis, we describe various methods of relieving the stricture, from manual reduction to surgery in extreme cases. For testicular torsion, the most important factor in salvaging the testicle is decreasing time to treatment. This is accomplished through experience and understanding which signs and symptoms strongly suggest it, so that time-consuming tests are avoided. Lastly, Fournier’s gangrene is potentially fatal. While aggressive medical and surgical therapy will improve chances of survival and outcome, it is vital for the emergency department (ED) physician to diagnose Fournier’s. It often presents in the elderly, immunocompromised, or those with depressed mental status. The goal of this paper is to arm EPs with information to recognize urological emergencies and intervene quickly to preserve tissue, fertility, and life.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009;10(4):281-287.]", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "none", "short_name": "none", "text": "", "url": "http://google.com" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Urology" }, { "word": "paraphimosis" }, { "word": "fournier's" }, { "word": "torsion" }, { "word": "priapism" }, { "word": "Emergency Medicine" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2cj981j1", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Chad", "middle_name": "S", "last_name": "Kessler", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Department of Emergency Medicine, Chicago, IL", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Julie", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bauml", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2009-01-20T13:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2009-01-20T13:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-11-01T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17115/galley/8648/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 17071, "title": "Paramedics’ Ability to Perform Drug Calculations", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Background: The ability to perform drug calculations accurately is imperative to patient safety. Research into paramedics’ drug calculation abilities was first published in 2000 and for nurses’ abilities the research dates back to the late 1930s. Yet, there have been no studies investigating an undergraduate paramedic student’s ability to perform drug or basic mathematical calculations. The objective of this study was to review the literature and determine the ability of undergraduate and qualified paramedics to perform drug calculations.\n\n\nMethods: A search of the prehospital-related electronic databases was undertaken using the Ovid and EMBASE systems available through the Monash University Library. Databases searched included the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, CINAHL, JSTOR, EMBASE and Google Scholar, from their beginning until the end of August 2009. We reviewed references from articles retrieved.\n\n\nResults: The electronic database search located 1,154 articles for review. Six additional articles were identified from reference lists of retrieved articles. Of these, 59 were considered relevant. After reviewing the 59 articles only three met the inclusion criteria. All articles noted some level of mathematical deficiencies amongst their subjects.\n\n\nConclusions: This study identified only three articles. Results from these limited studies indicate a significant lack of mathematical proficiency amongst the paramedics sampled. A need exists to identify if undergraduate paramedic students are capable of performing the required drug calculations in a non-clinical setting.\n\n\n[WestJEM. 2009;10:240-243.]", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "none", "short_name": "none", "text": "", "url": "http://google.com" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Emergency Medical Technicians" }, { "word": "emergency medical services" }, { "word": "mathematics" }, { "word": "drug dosage calculations" }, { "word": "Emergency Medicine" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9nm1b4cd", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Kathyrn", "middle_name": "J", "last_name": "Eastwood", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Monash University Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Mal", "middle_name": "J", "last_name": "Boyle", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Monash University Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Brett", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Williams", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Monash University Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2009-07-01T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2009-07-01T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-11-01T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17071/galley/8627/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 5269, "title": "Perceptual Learning in a Human Conditioned Suppression Task", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "The present experiment demonstrated a “perceptual learning” effect found in the animal literaturewith human participants. The common finding in animal work is that intermixed exposures to twostimuli prior to conditioning facilitates their subsequent discrimination on a generalization test morethan the same amount of exposure to the stimuli in a blocked arrangement. The method was asuppression task implemented in a video game. Participants learned to suppress a baseline response(mouse clicking) when a colored sensor (i.e., CS) predicted an attack (i.e., US). First, prior toconditioning, they received either intermixed pre-exposures to two sensor CSs, blocked preexposures,no pre-exposures, or pre-exposure to the individual visual elements of the CSs. Second, inconditioning, one of the sensor CSs was paired with an attack US. Finally, generalization ofsuppression to the other sensor CS was assessed. Pre-exposures to the sensor CSs reducedgeneralization relative to no-exposure at all, with intermixed pre-exposures producing the greatestreduction in generalization. The importance of the present work is that it reduces the possibleidiosyncrasy of existing results with humans that used evaluative-conditioning methods bydemonstrating the effect with a method that has been used to reproduce a variety of associativelearningphenomena and is easily amenable to associative-learning explanations", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Emergency department (ED) research assistants collected patient injury and helmet use information using a prospectively designed questionnaire. ED and hospital data were obtained from trauma registry and hospital records.\n\n\nResults: Seventy-two patients were injured in a terrain park, and 263 patients were injured on non-terrain park slopes. Patients injured in terrain parks were more likely to be male [68/72 (94%) vs. 176/263 (67%), p<0.0001], younger in age [23 ± 7 vs. 36 ± 17, p<0.0001], live locally [47/72 (65%) vs. 124/263 (47%), p=0.006], use a snowboard [50/72 (69%) vs. 91/263 (35%), p<0.0001], hold a season pass [46/66 (70%) vs. 98/253 (39%), p<0.0001], and sustain an upper extremity injury [29/72 (40%) vs. 52/263 (20%), p<0.001] when compared to patients injured on non-terrain park slopes. There were no differences between the groups in terms of EMS transport to hospital, helmet use, admission rate, hospital length of stay, and patients requiring specialty consultation in the ED.\n\n\nConclusions: Patients injured in terrain parks represent a unique demographic within winter resort patrons. Injury severity appears to be similar to those patients injured on non-terrain park slopes.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009;10(4):257-262.]", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "none", "short_name": "none", "text": "", "url": "http://google.com" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "skiing" }, { "word": "snowboarding" }, { "word": "accident prevention" }, { "word": "snow park" }, { "word": "terrain park" }, { "word": "Emergency Medicine" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2d1004db", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Craig", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Moffat", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Utah", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Scott", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "McIntosh", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Utah", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Jade", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bringhurst", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Karen", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Danenhauer", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Nathan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Gilmore", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Pittsburgh", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Christy", "middle_name": "L", "last_name": "Hopkins", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Utah", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2008-11-03T13:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2008-11-03T13:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-11-01T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17085/galley/8637/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 17112, "title": "The Back Alley Revisited: Sepsis after Attempted Self-Induced Abortion", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "While unsafe abortions have become rare in the United States, the practice persists.

Judders occurring on a horizontal surface by Gryllus bimaculatus were compared to those occurring on an inclined platform. Although the body movements involved were variable, that variability occurred in the context of maintaining some features of judder invariant. For example, the crickets maintained their bodies so that they were horizontal relative to the substrate, not to gravity, and most features of the back and forward movement (e.g., distance moved, velocity) were maintained as fixed despite differences in posture and movement.

Ultrasound may be especially useful when periorbital edema and pain interfere with the examination of the post-traumatic eye.\n\n\nObjective: This study evaluated the ability of emergency physicians to detect a ruptured globe in an ex-vivo porcine model.\n\n\nMethods: Following a brief training lecture, 15 emergency medicine residents and 4 emergency medicine attending physicians used ultrasonography to evaluate 18 porcine eyes, randomized as normal, ruptured, or completely devoid of vitreous humor. The consequences of ultrasound applanation with this method were evaluated by measuring intraocular pressure changes with and without a 1mm clear plastic shield.\n\n\nResults: Our study participants were able to identify abnormal eyes with a sensitivity of 79% (95% CI 73% to 84%) and a specificity of 51% (95% CI 41% to 61%). Intraocular pressure increased 5% with ultrasound applanation, though with a 1mm thick plastic shield there was no measurable change.\n\n\nConclusions: Ultrasound imaging may be a future modality to be used by trained emergency physicians to expedite the identification of a rupture globe, but it is unlikely to replace more definitive imaging techniques. The use of a clear plastic barrier in this porcine model prevents an increase in intra-ocular pressure without affecting image quality, and should be used in any future studies on this method.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009;10(4):263-266.]", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "none", "short_name": "none", "text": "", "url": "http://google.com" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "ultrasound" }, { "word": "Trauma" }, { "word": "ruptured globe" }, { "word": "Emergency Medicine" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/38z7x2ph", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Amit", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Chandra", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New York Hospital Queens", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Todd", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Mastrovitch", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New York Hospital Queens", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Heidi", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ladner", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New York Hospital Queens", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Vincent", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ting", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New York Hospital Queens", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Michael", "middle_name": "S", "last_name": "Radeos", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "New York Hospital Queens", "department": "None" }, { "first_name": "Sandeep", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Samudre", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Eastern Virginia Medical School", "department": "None" } ], "date_submitted": "2008-10-30T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2008-10-30T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-11-01T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/westjem/article/17092/galley/8638/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 17077, "title": "Thyroid Gland Hematoma After Blunt Neck Trauma", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Hemorrhage of a previously normal thyroid gland as a result of blunt trauma is a very rare condition.

IDUs were included if they had symptoms of WB and diagnostic confirmation. Primary outcome variables were the need for MV, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, hospital-related complications, and death.\n\n\nResults: Twenty-nine patients met inclusion criteria. Twenty-two (76%) admitted to heroin use only and seven (24%) admitted to heroin and methamphetamine use. Chief complaints on initial presentation included visual changes, 13 (45%); weakness, nine (31%); and difficulty swallowing, seven (24%). Skin wounds were documented in 22 (76%). Twenty-one (72%) patients underwent mechanical ventilation (MV). Antitoxin (AT) was administered to 26 (90%) patients but only two received antitoxin in the emergency department (ED). The time from ED presentation to AT administration was associated with increased length of ICU stay (Regression coefficient = 2.5; 95% CI 0.45, 4.5). The time from ED presentation to wound drainage was also associated with increased length of ICU stay (Regression coefficient = 13.7; 95% CI = 2.3, 25.2). There was no relationship between time to antibiotic administration and length of ICU stay.\n\n\nConclusion: MV and prolonged ICU stays are common in patients identified with WB. Early AT administration and wound drainage are recommended as these measures may decrease ICU length of stay.\n\n\n[West J Emerg Med. 2009;10(4):251-256.]", "language": "en", "license": { "name":

Within neotropical bats, roosting behaviors have been studied as a possible reaction to the presence of parasitic bat flies and mites.

Bats that exclusively utilized tents were predicted to suffer a lower level of ectoparasitism as their roosting behavior can disrupt ectoparasite lifecycles. I captured different bat species, categorized as either tent-roosting or non-tent-roosting, at several sites in Costa Rica, including Monteverde, San Luis and Peñas Blancas. All ectoparasites were collected with forceps and ultimately used to calculate presence, density, and unit load. After analysis, the bat species grouped as tent-makers, Artibeus toltecus and Platyrrhinus helleri, contained significantly lower levels of ectoparasite presence, density, and load in comparison with the species of bats that do not exclusively use tent roosts.

These models, applied to a future where the climate is changing, can lead to important discrepancies between actual and predicted growth rates. Yeh and Wensel (2000) first examined these discrepancies in CACTOS performance. They identified summer temperature and winter precipitation as key climatic variables influencing tree growth and developed indices to adjust growth based on the climate. However, the relationships established by Yeh and Wensel were formulated using the CACTOS growth simulator, an input-intensive growth and yield model. No independent validation of the climate-growth indices was conducted. This study examines the reliability of Yeh and Wensel’s climate adjustments to the growth model for forest management applications. Biological growth signals were removed from long-term annual growth records. These empirical records were derived from tree ring analyses. A smoothing spline was used to quantify the biological growth signal (i.e., low-frequency variation in increment). A climate signal (i.e. the residual) was derived by subtracting this spline from the long-term record. The resulting residuals were correlated against the predicted climate growth signal as given by Yeh and Wensel’s model. The correlation of climatic influence on growth for different species and crown classes was also considered. The results of this study indicate that Yeh and Wensel’s model provides growth estimates that reliably inform management decisions. However, the relationship between climate and growth is stronger in dominant tree classes, indicating that climate more predictably affects more dominant trees. For sub-dominant trees, climatic variables had little correlation. It does not appear that competition between dominant and sub-dominant trees is confounding the correlation between sub-dominant tree growth and climate.

In crayfish glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions, hyperpolarization and cyclic nucleotide-activated (HCN) channels and actin cytoskeleton dynamics are critical intermediate factors in hormonal modulation of glutamatergic synapses which lead to cAMP (3’-5’-cyclic adenosine monophosphate)-dependent enhancement of synaptic transmission. Although models have been proposed, there has been a lack of experimental evidence on the relationship between HCN channels and the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton during cAMP-dependent enhancement. The specific goal of this study is to test the sequence of activation of the aforementioned mediators in synaptic enhancement via precisely controlled pharmacological experiments. At glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions of crayfish limb muscles, HCN channel activator, lamotrigine (50 μM), enhanced synaptic transmission about 20%. This enhancement was completely blocked with actin depolymerizer, latrunculin B (3 μM). These results support previous models of the temporal arrangement of events leading to synaptic enhancement, specifically that changes in actin cytoskeleton follow HCN channel activation. Concurrently, we are also using a spatio-temporal marker called phalloidin, a toxin which binds actin filaments, to further test the hypothesis that activation of HCNCs precedes actin cytoskeleton polymerization. This allows for manipulation of HCN channels and visualization of actin that could propose the associated molecular mechanisms.

Furthermore, the predominant feeding guilds of the species unique to each site changed between sites, suggesting that food availability is an important determinant of where a bird lives. The proportion of insectivores was inversely related to fragmentation, and omnivores are perhaps less affected by fragmentation than other feeding guilds because they are able to use a higher variety of food resources. Certain species were only found at the more continuous sites, including the Black-breasted Wood-quail (Odontophorus leucolaemus), which implies they may be more sensitive to habitat fragmentation.", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [ { "word": "Biological and Biomedical Sciences" } ], "section": "Research", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9n9110bb", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Joanna", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Wu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "UC Berkeley", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2009-10-30T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2009-10-30T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-10-29T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/our_bsj/article/59603/galley/45584/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 59594, "title": "The New Kids On The Block: Emerging Medical Technologies", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "", "language": "en", "license": null, "keywords": [ { "word": "Biological and Biomedical Sciences" } ], "section": "Articles", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qm6v40p", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Daniel", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Mangels", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "UC Berkeley", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": "2009-10-30T12:30:00+05:30", "date_accepted": "2009-10-30T12:30:00+05:30", "date_published": "2009-10-29T12:30:00+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/our_bsj/article/59594/galley/45575/download/" } ] }, { "pk": 43792, "title": "A Slow and Quiet Day on the Block: A Case of Third-Degree Heart Block Presenting as Asymptomatic Bradycardia", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Clinical Vignette" } ], "section": "Article", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4621z30b", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Jonathan", "middle_name": "R.", "last_name": "Young", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "Medicine" }, { "first_name": "Eric", "middle_name": "T.", "last_name": "Cheng", "name_suffix": "MD", "institution": "University of California, Los Angeles", "department": "Medicine" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2009-10-20T01:32:09+05:30", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucladom_proceedings/article/43792/galley/32597/download/" } ] } ] }
