Abstract

Objective: To determine the relationship between emergent intubation (emergency department and field intubation cases combined) and mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) while controlling for injury severity.Methods: Retrospective observational study of 981 (35.2% intubated, 64.8% not intubated) patients with TBI evaluating the association between intubation status and mortality. Logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Injury severity measures included Head/Neck Abbreviated Injury Scale (H-AIS), systolic blood pressure, type of head injury (blunt vs. penetrating), and a propensity score combining the effects of several other potential confounding variables. Age was also included in the model.Results: The simple association of emergent endotracheal intubation with death had an odds ratio (OR) of 14.3 (95% CI = 9.4 – 21.9). The logistic regression model including relevant covariates and a propensity score that adjusted for injury severity and age yielded an OR of 5.9 (95% CI = 3.2 – 10.9).Conclusions: This study indicates that emergent intubation is associated with increased risk of death after controlling for a number of injury severity indicators. We discuss the need for optimal paramedic training, and an understanding of the factors that guide patient selection and the decision to intubate in the field. [WestJEM.2008;9:184-189]

Abstract

The installation of roofing materials with increased solar reflectance (i.e., "cool roofs") can mitigate the urban heat island effect and reduce energy use. In addition, meteorological changes, along with the possibility of enhanced UV reflection from these surfaces, can have complex impacts on ozone and PM2.5 concentrations. We aim to evaluate the air-quality impacts of widespread cool-roof installations prescribed by California's Title 24 building energy efficiency standards within the heavily populated and polluted South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). Development of a comprehensive rooftop area database and evaluation of spectral reflectance measurements of roofing materials allows us to project potential future changes in solar and UV reflectance for simulations using the Weather Research Forecast and Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) models. 2012 meteorological simulations indicate a decrease in daily maximum temperatures, daily maximum boundary layer heights, and ventilation coefficients throughout the SoCAB upon widespread installation of cool roofs. CMAQ simulations show significant increases in PM2.5 concentrations and policy-relevant design values. Changes in 8-h ozone concentrations depend on the potential change in UV reflectance, ranging from a decrease in population-weighted concentrations when UV reflectance remains unchanged to an increase when changes in UV reflectance are at an upper bound. However, 8-h policy-relevant ozone design values increase in all cases. Although the other benefits of cool roofs could outweigh small air-quality penalties, UV reflectance standards for cool roofing materials could mitigate these negative consequences. Results of this study motivate the careful consideration of future rooftop and pavement solar reflectance modification policies.

5. Some aspects of hemispheric asymmetry and face processing

Author

Subjects
150, Prosopagnosia
Abstract

The eventual aims of this thesis were threefold. The first was to investigate the patterns of impairments suffered by prosopagnosic subjects, measuring both reaction times and errors, with conclusions being drawn about the heterogeneity of the neurological disorder. Three prosopagnosic subjects were tested on a number of face processing tasks, investigating facial identity matching, facial expression matching and the perception of eye gaze direction. They were found to have different patterns of impairments, reflecting the different causes of their prosopagnosia. The second aim was to investigate cerebral hemispheric asymmetry in normal subjects for both face processing and word processing. Using split- field tachistoscopic presentation of visual stimuli, facial identity matching and facial expression matching were tested, followed by making syntactical judgements for words and finally reading words out loud. No hemispheric differences were found for facial identity or facial expression matching, except where the faces to be matched only comprised internal features, when a right hemisphere advantage was found. The majority of the word processing studies elicited a left hemispheric superiority. It was also shown that words were recognised more easily when they contained fewer syllables, and were more common and familiar to the reader. The third aim of the thesis was to test two additional subjects, who had been shown, on the basis of PET imaging, to have reversed cerebral asymmetry, specifically right hemispheric activity for linguistic tasks. These subjects were tested on the facial identity matching and word processing tasks. No hemispheric advantage for face processing was found, but either a right hemisphere advantage or no hemispheric advantage was found for both of them for word processing, whereas on the same tasks control subjects showed a significant left hemisphere advantage. As a result of this finding, it is suggested that one of the word tasks could possibly be used for further clarification when the results of the WADA test, used for assessing the language dominance of epileptics prior to surgery, are unclear. Alternatively, the results of such a task could be correlated with the results of PET and MRI scans to further investigate hemispheric asymmetry in a quantitative way, thus using converging evidence from both experimental psychological and neurological methods.

20. Neuropathic pain in a rehabilitation setting after spinal cord injury: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of inpatients’ experiences

Author

Hearn, Jasmine Heath, Finlay, Katherine Anne, Fine, Philip A, Cotter, Imogen, Hearn, Jasmine Heath, Finlay, Katherine Anne, Fine, Philip A, and Cotter, Imogen

Abstract

Study design Qualitative, semi-structured interviews. Objectives Neuropathic pain (NP) can be psychologically and physically debilitating, and is present in approximately half of the spinal cord injured (SCI) population. However, under half of those with NP are adherent to pain medication. Understanding the impact of NP during rehabilitation is required to reduce long-term impact and to promote adherence to medication and psychoeducation recommendations. Setting United Kingdom. Methods Five males and three females with SCI and chronic NP, resident in rehabilitation wards at a specialist SCI center in the United Kingdom, took part. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants less than 15 months post-SCI (mean = 8.4 months). Verbatim transcripts were subject to interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Results Three super-ordinate themes were identified, mediating pain and adherence: (1) the dichotomy of safety perceptions; (2) adherence despite adversity; and (3) fighting the future. Analyses suggest that experience of the rehabilitation setting and responsiveness of care shapes early distress. Attitudes to medication and psychosocial adjustment are relevant to developing expectations about pain management. Conclusions Enhancing self-efficacy, feelings of safety in hospital, and encouraging the adoption of adaptive coping strategies may enhance psychosocial and pain-related outcomes, and improve adherence to medication. Encouraging adaptive responses to, and interpretation of, pain, through the use of interventions such as coping effectiveness training, targeted cognitive behavioral pain management, and acceptance-based interventions such as mindfulness, is recommended in order to reduce long-term reliance on medication.

24. The devil in the corner: A mixed-methods study of metaphor use by those with spinal cord injury-specific neuropathic pain.

Author

Hearn, Jasmine Heath, Finlay, Katherine Anne, Fine, Philip A, Hearn, Jasmine Heath, Finlay, Katherine Anne, and Fine, Philip A

Abstract

Objectives Metaphorical expressions of persistent pain play an influential role in the modulation of pain. This may be particularly distressing for those with physical disabilities such as spinal cord injury (SCI). Neuropathic pain (NP) after SCI is often described using metaphorical expressions such as burning and electricity. This study explored the use of metaphors by those with NP after SCI. Design A qualitative, semi‐structured interview design was employed. Methods Data were analysed using content analysis (CA) and interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore prevalence of metaphor use and its meaning. Sixteen individuals aged between 23 and 82 years, with chronic NP (persisting for 3 months or longer), arising from SCI were interviewed in their homes or on hospital wards (M = 10, F = 6). Interviews lasted between 40 and 120 min. Results The results capture a range of metaphorical expressions embedded in participants’ accounts. Three themes emerged: (1) pain as a personal attack, (2) the desire to be understood, and (3) conveying distress without adequate terminology. CA revealed that younger age, female gender, and outpatient status were associated with increased metaphor use. Conclusions This study highlights the power of metaphor in eliciting understanding of NP after SCI from others, whilst demonstrating the challenge of communicating NP. Cognitive treatment that incorporates image‐based techniques with acceptance and mindfulness‐based therapies may encourage adaptive responses to, and interpretation of, pain. This may subsequently reduce pain‐related distress and catastrophizing.

25. The Contribution of Biomass Combustion to Ambient Fine Particle Concentrations in the United States

Author

Fine, Philip Malcolm, Fine, Philip Malcolm, Fine, Philip Malcolm, and Fine, Philip Malcolm

Abstract

Biomass combustion is an important source of fine particle emissions to the atmosphere. According to USEPA emissions inventories for the year 1995, approximately 20% of total primary PM_(2.5) emissions come from biomass combustion sources. As an alternative to inventory data such as this, source apportionment with chemical mass balance receptor models can determine the contribution of different fine particle source types to a particular ambient fine particle sample. The identification of individual organic compounds in the fine particle emissions from biomass combustion and other fine particle sources provides a rich source of potential molecular tracers that can be used in apportionment calculations. A series of experiments were conducted to characterize the fine particle emissions from the following biomass combustion sources: residential wood combustion in fireplaces, non-catalytic wood stoves, and catalytic wood stoves; the prescribed burning of foliar fuels; and the open burning of agricultural waste. Results include emission factors for particle mass, organic and elemental carbon, ionic species, selected elements, and over 200 individual organic compounds as determined by GC/MS analysis. The cellulose pyrolysis product, levoglucosan, was emitted from all of the biomass combustion sources and serves as a unique tracer for biomass combustion in general. Substituted syringols were emitted primarily from hardwood combustion, and resin acids were emitted exclusively from the burning of softwoods. Fine particle emission factors are lower and elemental carbon and PAH emissions are higher from wood stoves than from fireplaces. The burning of foliar fuels produces more alkanoic acids than wood combustion due to the higher concentration of plant waxes in the foliage. The data from the residential wood combustion source tests were used in a chemical mass balance receptor model to determine the contribution of biomass combustion to ambient fine particle concentrations thr

Abstract

The intelligibility of sung text is an important component of listeners’enjoyment of vocal music and a central concern for singers and, for example, choral conductors. Expert listeners such as singers and singingteachers may be better than non-singers at perceiving sung text. We replicated and extended an earlier study investigating the intelligibility ofsemantically and non-semantically meaningful words performed soloand by a small group of trained soloists by carrying out an experiment inwhich we manipulated listening expertise, type of text, number of singers, and time of hearing. Participants listened twice to four songs withmeaningful and “scrambled” lyrics, sung in unison by a choir and solo,and wrote down as many of the words as they could discern. Singers werebetter at the task than non-singers; more words were recorded on thesecond hearing and when the words were meaningful. Sung text involvesdistortions of consonants and vowels to which singers may be more accustomed, so that they find it easier to discern texts even when scrambled. Choirs may be harder to understand than soloists because theirphonemes are more variable and less clear. In future research we will useoperatically trained soloists and polyphonic choirs.

Abstract

An important aspect of perceiving sung music is understanding thewords. Previous research has suggested several factors affecting the intelligibility of sung text. This study investigates two of those factors: thenumber of singers and the singing expertise of the listener. We expectedmore singers to cause greater variability in the acoustic signal and beharder to comprehend. Listeners who are themselves experienced singersare more likely to be attuned to factors affecting singers’ diction and wereexpected to be better than non-singers at understanding the sung text.Forty eight participants, half accomplished singers and half self-reportednon-singers, listened to four 8-bar unaccompanied songs twice (in orderto test for familiarity) and wrote out the texts as they heard them. Twoperformances were given by a soloist, two by a trio of singers in unison.Participants were significantly better at understanding the words on thesecond hearing than the first, and singers significantly better than nonsingers overall. There was no effect of the number of singers. Hence familiarity and singing experience both benefited sung text understanding.An effect of the number of singers may be more apparent when comparing a soloist with a choir.

Abstract

Wood smoke in the atmosphere often accounts for 20–30% of the ambient fine-particle concentrations. In communities where wood is burned for home heating, wood smoke can at times contribute the majority of the atmospheric fine-particle burden. Chemical mass balance receptor models that use organic compounds as tracers can be used to determine the contributions of different emission sources, including wood smoke, to atmospheric fine-particle samples. In order for organic chemical tracer techniques to be applied to communities across the United States, differences in wood smoke composition that arise from differences in the type of wood burned in various regions must be understood. A continental-scale accounting of particulate organic compound emissions from residential wood combustion has been constructed which helps to quantify the regional differences in wood smoke composition that exist between different parts of the United States. Data from a series of source tests conducted on 22 North American wood species have been used to assemble a national inventory of emissions for more than 250 individual organic compounds that are released from wood combustion in fireplaces and wood stoves in the United States. The emission rates of important wood smoke markers, such as levoglucosan, certain substituted syringols and guaiacols, and phytosterols vary greatly with wood type and combustor type. These differences at the level of individual wood type and combustion conditions translate into regional differences in the aggregate composition of ambient wood smoke. By weighting the source test results in proportion to the availability of firewood from specific tree species and the quantities of wood burned in each locale, it is possible to investigate systematic differences that exist between wood smokes from different regions of North America. The relative abundance of 10 major wood smoke components averaged over the emissions inventory in different regions of the United States is computed and then used to illustrate the extent to which wood smoke composition differs from region to region in North America.
