1. Experimental study of the statistics of slipping events in solid friction

Author: S. Ciliberto and C. Laroche
Subjects: Science, Physics, QC1-999, Geophysics. Cosmic physics, QC801-809
Abstract: The statistics of the stick-slip motion is studied in two experiments, where elasticity is distributed either on a surface or on a volume. The rough surface is realised by embedding steel spheres in an elastic substrate whereas the volume is constituted by several layers of rubber spheres. Both systems produce a complex dynamics characterized by power law with non-trivial exponents in the distribution of the amplitude of the slipping events and in the power spectra of the friction force time evolution. The dependence of the results on the system size is also studied.

4. Socio-economic factors determine maternal and noenatal outcomes in women with peripartum cardiomyopathy: a study of the ESC EORP PPCM registry

Author: K Sliwa-Hahnle, P Van Der Meer, C Viljoen, A M Jackson, M C Petrie, A P Maggioni, C Laroche, V Regitz-Zagrosek, L Tavazzi, J W Roos-Hesselink, P Seferovic, A Frogoudaki, B Ibrahim, H Al-Farham, and J Bauersachs
Subjects: Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine
Abstract: Background Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a global disease associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Purpose The aim of this study was to analyse to what extent country- and individual-level socioeconomic factors were associated with maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods In 2011, >100 national and affiliated member cardiac societies of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) were contacted to contribute to a global registry on PPCM, under the auspices of the ESC EORP Programme. Country-level sociodemographic factors were Gini coefficient (GINI), health expenditure (HE) and human developmental index (HDI). Individual-level sociodemographic factors were income and educational attainment. We investigated the characteristics and outcomes of women with PPCM and their babies according to individual and country-specific socioeconomic status. Results 739 women from 49 countries were enrolled (Europe [33%], Africa [29%], Asia-Pacific [15%], Middle East [22%]). Overall, 142 (19%) of women were from countries with low HDI, 307 (42%) medium HDI and 290 (39%) high HDI. Patients of Black African ethnicity were almost all from low HDI countries (99.3%), Middle Eastern and Asian patients from medium HDI (37.7% and 26.2%), and Caucasian patients were mostly from high HDI (72%, p Conclusion Maternal and neonatal outcomes depended on country-specific socioeconomic characteristics, with a greater prevalence of maternal and neonatal deaths in women from countries with low HE. Globally, women with low income and lower levels of educational attainment had poorer outcomes, irrespective of region. Attempts should be made to improve patient education, and allocation of adequate health resources to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes in PPCM.

5. Tricuspid regurgitation: frequency, management and outcome among patients with severe left-sided valvular heart disease in Europe. Insights from the ESC-EORP valvular heart disease II survey

Subjects: Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine
Abstract: Background Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is frequent among patients with severe left-sided valvular heart disease (LS-VHD). Objectives This study sought to assess TR frequency, management and outcome in this population. Methods Among 6883 patients with severe LS-VHD or previous valvular intervention in the EURObservational Research Programme prospective VHD II survey, we analyzed frequency and grade of TR according to LS-VHD, and 6-month survival according to TR grade. Among 2081 patients who underwent an intervention for severe LS-VHD, we analyzed frequency and outcome of concomitant TV intervention, and concordance between Class I indications for concomitant TV surgery (patients with severe TR) and real-practice decision-making. Results Moderate to severe TR was very frequent among patients with severe mitral VHD (≥30%), especially in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (46%), and rare among patients with aortic VHD ( Conclusion TR was frequent in patients with mitral VHD and was associated with a poorer outcome as TR grade increased. Compliance to guidelines for Class I indications for concomitant TV surgery at the time of LS-HVS was very good. With the trend toward more transcatheter treatment for left-sided VHD, there is a critical need for safe and efficient tricuspid valve transcatheter treatment for patients with concomitant TR.

Abstract: Aims The EURO-ENDO registry aimed to study the management and outcomes of patients with infective endocarditis (IE). Methods and results Prospective cohort of 3116 adult patients (2470 from Europe, 646 from non-ESC countries), admitted to 156 hospitals in 40 countries between January 2016 and March 2018 with a diagnosis of IE based on ESC 2015 diagnostic criteria. Clinical, biological, microbiological, and imaging [echocardiography, computed tomography (CT) scan, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT)] data were collected. Infective endocarditis was native (NVE) in 1764 (56.6%) patients, prosthetic (PVIE) in 939 (30.1%), and device-related (CDRIE) in 308 (9.9%). Infective endocarditis was community-acquired in 2046 (65.66%) patients. Microorganisms involved were staphylococci in 1085 (44.1%) patients, oral streptococci in 304 (12.3%), enterococci in 390 (15.8%), and Streptococcus gallolyticus in 162 (6.6%). 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography was performed in 518 (16.6%) patients and presented with cardiac uptake (major criterion) in 222 (42.9%) patients, with a better sensitivity in PVIE (66.8%) than in NVE (28.0%) and CDRIE (16.3%). Embolic events occurred in 20.6% of patients, and were significantly associated with tricuspid or pulmonary IE, presence of a vegetation and Staphylococcus aureus IE. According to ESC guidelines, cardiac surgery was indicated in 2160 (69.3%) patients, but finally performed in only 1596 (73.9%) of them. In-hospital death occurred in 532 (17.1%) patients and was more frequent in PVIE. Independent predictors of mortality were Charlson index, creatinine > 2 mg/dL, congestive heart failure, vegetation length > 10 mm, cerebral complications, abscess, and failure to undertake surgery when indicated. Conclusion Infective endocarditis is still a life-threatening disease with frequent lethal outcome despite profound changes in its clinical, microbiological, imaging, and therapeutic profiles.

8. Les enfants les plus jeunes traités par rituximab pour syndrome néphrotique corticodépendant sont à risque plus élevé d’évènement indésirable grave

Author: C. Laroche, A. Flahault, D. Lemieux, and Anne-Laure Lapeyraque
Subjects: Nephrology
Abstract: Introduction Le rituximab est efficace pour prevenir les rechutes dans le syndrome nephrotique corticodependant (SNCD) de l’enfant, mais les risques lies a ce traitement sont peu decrits dans cette population. Description Nous avons souhaite determiner les facteurs de risque associes aux evenements indesirables graves (EIG) faisant suite a l’administration de rituximab chez des enfants avec SNCD. Methodes Nous avons inclus tous les enfants avec SNCD ou syndrome nephrotique corticoresistant traites par rituximab dans notre centre entre 2007 et 2019. Nous avons categorise la severite des evenement indesirables en utilisant le Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Nous avons effectue une analyse de survie et des tests de log-rank, ainsi que des modeles de risques proportionnels, pour determiner les facteurs associes a la survenue d’EIG. Resultats Parmi les 38 enfants inclus dans l’etude, la majorite (n = 36, 95 %) avait un SNCD. L’âge median a l’introduction du rituximab etait de 9,0 (intervalle interquartile : 6,8–13,6) ans, le temps median avant rechute etait de 1,4 [intervalle de confiance a 95 %, 1,16–2,27] ans et la duree mediane de suivi de 3,7 (2,2–4,9) ans. Aucun patient n’est decede pendant le suivi. Quatorze EIG sont survenus chez 12 (32 %) patients, dont six cas d’agranulocytose, deux cas de colite inflammatoire, un cas pneumocystose et trois cas de reaction anaphylactique. A l’exception des reactions anaphylactiques, tous les EIG sont survenus chez des enfants âges de moins de 10 ans. L’introduction de rituximab avant l’âge de 10 ans etait associee a un risque plus eleve d’EIG (p = 0,004, Fig. 1 ). Conclusion Un jeune âge a l’administration de rituximab pour SNCD de l’enfant est associe a un risque plus eleve d’EIG. Ces resultats suggerent que le rituximab devrait etre utilise avec une prudence particuliere chez les jeunes enfants.

Abstract: Implicitization usually focuses on plane curves and (hyper)surfaces, in other words, varieties of codimension 1. In this paper we shift the focus on space curves and, more generally, on varieties of codimension larger than 1, and discuss approaches that are not sensitive to base points. Our first contribution is a direct generalization of an implicitization method based on interpolation matrices for objects of high codimension given parametrically or as point clouds. Our result shows the completeness of this approach which, furthermore, reduces geometric operations and predicates to linear algebra computations. Our second, and main contribution is an implicitization method of parametric space curves and varieties of codimension >1, which exploits the theory of Chow forms to obtain the equations of conical (hyper)surfaces intersecting precisely at the given object. We design a new, practical, randomized algorithm that always produces correct output but possibly with a non-minimal number of surfaces. For space curves, which is the most common case, our algorithm returns 3 surfaces whose polynomials are of near-optimal degree; moreover, computation reduces to a Sylvester resultant. We illustrate our algorithm through a series of examples and compare our Maple code with other methods implemented in Maple. Our prototype is not faster but yields fewer equations and is more robust than Maple's implicitize. Although not optimized, it is comparable with Gröbner bases and matrix representations derived from syzygies, for degrees up to 6. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: A numerical model has been developed to simulate the adsorption of chemical species inside different geometries of columns filled with solid adsorbent particles. In this model hydrodynamics, mass transfer and adsorption equilibrium are accounted for. It has been applied at two different scales: at the laboratory scale in order to estimate the impact of the near wall channelling effect inside small columns, and at the industrial scale in order to calculate the equivalent axial dispersion induced by pipes or beams that can be found inside very large adsorption towers. For both applications, hydrodynamics were found to have a strong impact on the adsorption efficiency. These examples demonstrate how the use of computational fluid dynamics proves to be very relevant for process design and scale-up of adsorption columns.

Abstract: The objective of this work is to evaluate the prediction accuracy of network modeling to calculate transport properties of porous media based on the interpretation of mercury invasion capillary pressure curves only. A pore-scale modeling approach is used to model the multi-phase flow and calculate gas/oil relative permeability curves. The characteristics of the 3-D pore-network are defined with the requirement that the network model satisfactorily reproduces the capillary pressure curve (Pc curve), the porosity and the permeability. A sensitivity study on the effect of the input parameters on the prediction of capillary pressure and gas/oil relative permeability curves is presented. The simulations show that different input parameters can lead to similarly good reproductions of the experimental Pc, although the predicted relative permeabilities Kr are somewhat widespread. This means that the information derived from a mercury invasion Pc curve is not sufficient to characterize transport properties of a porous medium. The simulations indicate that more quantitative information on the wall roughness and the node/bond aspect ratio would be necessary to better constrain the problem. There is also evidence that in narrow pore size distributions pore body volume and pore throat radius are correlated while in broad pore size distributions they would be uncorrelated.

Abstract: An integrated methodology is developed to quantify the geostatistical and transport properties of fractured media at multiple scales. Such information is helpful in developing numerical models and estimating the up-scaled transport coefficients of fractured formations. An oil-contaminated fractured site, overlying granite rock and situated in northern Spain, is investigated, and a macroscopic geological model that quantifies the regional distribution of faults and fractures over the entire area is established. The methodology is based on the measurement of fractured outcrops in the field (scale ∼1-100 m), the collection of representative fractured samples and measurement of the fracture aperture (scale ∼0.01-1 mm), and the analysis of macroscopic characteristics (scale ∼1-5 km) of fracture/faults. The multi-scale fracture properties are utilized to construct a discrete fracture/fault network model which provides input data to a macroscopic simulator of contaminant transport in fractured porous media. The transient NAPL migration pathways are predicted for one scenario of pollution. Such information is helpful in the risk assessment of fractured contaminated sites.

Abstract: A mathematical procedure is proposed to calculate fraction solid in the solidification interval of a binary alloy using cooling curves obtained with a power compensated Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The procedure takes advantage of using a validated thermodynamic model to enhance the accuracy of fraction solid evaluations, since the enthalpy of the phases vary according to their solute mass concentrations and temperature. Solute mass concentrations are deduced from the Brody-Flemings relationship to take into account the effect of solute diffusion kinetics occurring during the solidification. The procedure is applied to the fraction solid determination of aluminum-4.5% copper alloy submitted to different cooling rates. It was found that the fraction liquid remaining just before eutectic solidification was 2.45, 2.92 and 3.66 w% for a cooling rate respectively equal to 5, 10 and 60 K/min. The back diffusion parameter defined in the Brody-Flemings relationship was found to diminish as the cooling rate increases, as this is expected from basic kinetics consideration.

23. Impact of domestic support and border measures for developing countries’ food security

Author: Bourdon M., Huchet and Dupraz C., Laroche
Subjects: digestive, oral, and skin physiology, International Development, Food Security and Poverty
Abstract: Food security is a major concern, especially for developing countries where a large percentage of population lives in rural areas and where agricultural sector represents an important weight in their economy. Agricultural and food imports play a particular key role in terms of food security in low income countries. Indeed, dependency on imports for food may raise a problem for food security in particular in the case of sudden price increase which put up national food bill. The national state of food availability combining food imports and domestic food production thus constitutes some crucial information. Following Diaz-Bonilla et al. (2000), this contribution aims to shed light on the determinants of food security at national level. We first build a theoretical framework linking explicitly food security measured by the Bonilla index and national intervention policy intervention in agriculture. Second, the empirical methodology aims at assessing the impact of national policy responses to 2008 price surge in terms of food security using the national rate assistance index on importable food products for 42 countries over the period 1995-2010. Our results suggest that most developing countries have largely used their possibility to play with the NRA level in order to moderate BI during the 2008 food price surge.

24. Network modeling as a tool to predict three-phase gas injection in heterogeneous wettability porous media

Abstract: The objective of the present paper is two-fold: to demonstrate the effect of small scale wettability heterogeneities on gas injection efficiency, and to develop a tool to predict this impact for various patterns and spatial distributions. To this end, an experimental investigation in transparent glass micromodels is performed and a theoretical simulator is developed. Different heterogeneity patterns are considered for the same oil-wet over water-wet surface ratio. A special technique to obtain oil-wet patches in a water-wet matrix by selective silane grafting on the glass surface is developed and described. The simulator properly incorporates imbibition–drainage events and flow through films as visualized in the experiments. Predictive efficiency of the simulator is tested by comparing the numerical results to the experimentally obtained phase distributions and saturations. In water/oil displacement, drainage and imbibition mechanisms occur according to the local wettability. Three-phase gas injection is dominated by drainage mechanisms. Oil flows through wetting films in the oil-wet regions and through spreading films on water in the water-wet regions. Both experiments and simulations show that the size and distribution of wettability heterogeneities strongly affect the microscopic and macroscopic behavior during gas injection processes. More specifically the effect of wettability heterogeneities on: (1) displacement mechanisms, (2) sweep efficiency, and (3) fluid distribution in three-phase gas injection is clearly demonstrated and successfully described by the network simulator.

Abstract: We carried out experiments to study the effect of wettability heterogeneities on: (1) displacement mechanisms, (2) sweep efficiency and (3) trapped oil quantities and fluid distribution in three-phase gas injection and developed a theoretical simulator. Secondary gas injection experiments was conducted in transparent glass micromodels of heterogeneous wettability. Oil-wet patches in a water-wet matrix were obtained by selective silane grafting on the glass surface. Different heterogeneity patterns were considered for the same oil-wet over water-wet surface ratio. Displacement sequences were video-recorded and fluid saturations determined by image analysis. A theoretical model of three-phase flow in a porous structure was developed. In this model the porous medium is simulated as a network of interconnected pores. The model permits an imposition of heterogeneous wettability by assigning different water-oil contact angles according to the desired wettability pattern. The calculation of flow within the network takes into account the flow of oil through wetting and spreading films and the displacement mechanisms observed in the transparent micromodels. Comparison between experimental results and simulations shows that the size and distribution of wettability heterogeneities strongly affects microscopic and macroscopic behaviour during gas injection.

Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the reliability of Audioscan audiometry. Repeated measurement of hearing thresholds were conducted using the frequency scanning method specific to Audioscan. These thresholds were compared to those assessed by means of the fixed-frequency Békésy method. Overall, 24 subjects participated in this study. They had to have a significant history of occupational or extra-occupational noise exposure and exhibit at least a slight hearing loss. The reliability of Audioscan proved to be comparable to the Békésy method for thresholds measured at conventional frequencies, when the sweep speed was set at 10 or 20 seconds per octave and the step size at 5 dB. The measurement error typically fell between 3.5 and 4.5 dB, a range of values that compares well with those obtained with the Békésy method under optimal conditions. The notches depicted by the Audioscan are reproducible and can be described by means of several parameters such as the frequency localization of the notch, the depth of the notch and the level of the notch.

Abstract: The conceptual design of a Tailings Management Facility (TMF) for the proposed Hammond Reef gold mine in Canada investigated two options for surface disposal of tailings. Geochemical characterisation testing indicated that the tailings were not acid generating or metal leaching. Bench scale laboratory testing of the tailings’ rheological and dewatering properties were carried out to help define the properties of the thickened tailings at 68% solids content (by mass). Tailings dewatering test results indicated that the tailings could be efficiently dewatered to a solids content of 68% (by mass) using high compression thickeners. Furthermore, rheological test results indicated that the tailings could be pumped using conventional centrifugal pumps at this solids content. The results were used to support a comparison with slurry tailings deposition at 37% solids content (by mass). Conceptual TMF designs were developed for each option to comparatively evaluate the capital and operating costs of each option. The conceptual designs were based on the tailings’ geotechnical properties, available site investigation information, and water management requirements. The geometry of the proposed TMF site allowed for deposition of thickened tailings from a central discharge location to form a cone. However, it was determined that slurry deposition would be most efficient by end discharging from the north perimeter containment dam. A comparison was then made between the volume of perimeter containment dam construction required for the slurry and thickened tailings options. Comparative cost estimates of each option indicated that thickened tailings deposition was more cost effective compared to slurry tailings deposition. Thickened tailings deposition was chosen for the Hammond Reef project because it requires less dam construction, simplifies water management and has other environmental advantages, including reduced risk of tailings dam failure.

Abstract: AimsThe ESC-HF Pilot survey was aimed to describe clinical epidemiology and 1-year outcomes of outpatients and inpatients with heart failure (HF). The pilot phase was also specifically aimed at validating structure, performance, and quality of the data set for continuing the survey into a permanent Registry.MethodsThe ESC-HF Pilot study is a prospective, multicentre, observational survey conducted in 136 Cardiology Centres in 12 European countries selected to represent the different health systems across Europe. All outpatients with HF and patients admitted for acute HF on 1 day per week for eight consecutive months were included. From October 2009 to May 2010, 5118 patients were included: 1892 (37%) admitted for acute HF and 3226 (63%) patients with chronic HF. The all-cause mortality rate at 1 year was 17.4% in acute HF and 7.2% in chronic stable HF. One-year hospitalization rates were 43.9% and 31.9%, respectively, in hospitalized acute and chronic HF patients. Major regional differences in 1-year mortality were observed that could be explained by differences in characteristics and treatment of the patients.ConclusionThe ESC-HF Pilot survey confirmed that acute HF is still associated with a very poor medium-term prognosis, while the widespread adoption of evidence-based treatments in patients with chronic HF seems to have improved their outcome profile. Differences across countries may be due to different local medical practice as well to differences in healthcare systems. This pilot study also offered the opportunity to refine the organizational structure for a long-term extended European network. © 2013 The Author.

Abstract: The statistics of the stick-slip motion is studied in two experiments, where elasticity is distributed either on a surface or on a volume. The rough surface is realised by embedding steel spheres in an elastic substrate whereas the volume is constituted by several layers of rubber spheres. Both systems produce a complex dynamics characterized by power law with non-trivial exponents in the distribution of the amplitude of the slipping events and in the power spectra of the friction force time evolution. The dependence of the results on the system size is also studied.

Abstract: Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in developed countries. Ten percent of patients with KD develop coronary aneurism. Ten percent of patients treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IgIV) have persistent coronary dilatations, which sustains the search for new therapies. We describe 2 cases of refractory KD and discuss the therapeutic options.A 3-year-old child and a 3-month-old infant had refractory KD. Both were treated with IgIV and corticosteroids. They both had persistent fever and major coronary artery dilatation. The first patient received a treatment with acetyl-salicylic-acid (ACA) only. The second received an immuno-therapy with an anti-TNF-α agent. Fever and inflammatory symptoms disappeared within 12h in the second case. Coronary artery aneurisms worsened during the first month and then stabilized. The first child had fever and inflammatory symptoms for a longer duration, but coronary artery dilatations stabilized and disappeared with no additional treatment than ACA.TNF-α is known to be one of the inflammatory factors involved in KD disease. Anti-TNF-α agents have been tested in treatment of refractory KD. In one of the cases reported herein, this therapy was not effective on coronary artery aneurism. More studies are needed to define the optimal treatment of refractory KD.

Abstract: Questions about care practices and the role of palliative care in pediatric neurodegenerative diseases have led the Neuromuscular Committee of the French Society of Neurology to conduct a retrospective study in spinal muscular atrophy type 1, a genetic disease most often leading to death before the age of 1 year.A retrospective multicenter study from pediatricians included in the reference centers of pediatric neuromuscular diseases was carried out on two 10-year periods (1989-1998 and 1999-2009).The 1989-1998 period included 12 centers with 106 patients, the 1999-2009 period 13 centers with 116 children. The mean age of onset of clinical signs was 2.1 months (range, 0-5.5 months), the median age at diagnosis was 4 months (range, 0-9 months) vs 3 months. The median age of death was 7.5 months (range, 0-24 months) vs 6 months. The care modalities included physiotherapy (90 %), motor support (61 % vs 26 % for the previous period), enteral nutrition by nasogastric tube (52 % vs 24 %), and 3.4 % of children had a gastrostomy (vs 1.8 %). At home, pharyngeal aspiration was used in 64 % (vs 41 %), oxygen therapy in 8 %, noninvasive ventilatory support in 7 %. The mean age at death was 8.1 months (range, 0-24 months) vs 7 months, the time from diagnosis to death was 4 months vs 3 months. Death occurred at home in 23 % vs 17 %, in a pediatric unit in 62 % vs 41 %. The use of analgesics and sedative drugs was reported in 60 % of cases: 40 % morphine (vs 18 %) and benzodiazepines in 48 % (vs 29 %). Respiratory support was limited mostly to oxygen by nasal tube (55 % vs 54 %), noninvasive ventilation in 9 % of the cases, and intubation and assisted mechanical ventilation (2 %).These results confirm a change in practices and the development of palliative care in children with a French consensus of practices quite different from the standard care in North-America and closer to the thinking of English medical teams. A prospective study within the 2011 national hospital clinical research program (PHRC 2011) is beginning in order to evaluate practices and the role of families and caregivers.

Abstract: We study the acoustic behaviour of a mixture of diethyl-ether bubbles and liquid, at small volume fraction of vapour, contained in a standing-wave tube. We give experimental evidence of the effect of the liquid/vapour phase transition on the positions and amplitudes of the resonances of the tube. The effective-medium theory, which properly describes the behaviour of liquid/gas mixtures, is shown to be inadequate. We find that theoretical studies which take the effect of the phase transition into account do agree with our experimental data.

Abstract: International audience; We consider an ensemble of grains that interact through a dipole-dipole interaction. A granular gas is formed by the vertical motion of a piston at the bottom boundary of the system. The interaction between the grains is controlled by an horizontally applied magnetic field. When the speed of the piston is decreased, we observe a transition from a low density to a high density phase. When the interaction between grains is weak, the transition is continuous. It is discontinuous for stronger interaction. The phase diagram displays strong similarities with the ones observed for usual equilibrium phase transitions.

Abstract: ENERGIE:MATERIAUX+HJO:NLA; International audience; This study concerns the diffusion of single-component molecules in zeolites, characterised by an isotherm represented by a dual-site Langmuir model with a point of inflection. The systems investigated are n-hexane and n-heptane in MFI zeolite at 300 K. Experiments conducted using the Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) technique have demonstrated that this inflection has an impact on the loading dependence of the transport Dt and corrected DC diffusion coefficients of these systems. The results of these experiments are described here. A Kinetic Monte Carlo study is then conducted, showing how the energy levels of the molecule adsorption sites in a zeolite affect the loading dependence of the diffusion coefficients of these molecules.

48. Bedside assessment of phrenic nerve function in infants and children

Abstract: Phrenic nerve damage is widely recognized after cardiac operations and is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Retrospective studies in children have estimated a prevalence of phrenic damage of between 0.5% and 2.2%, but all these studies have limited their investigations to patients who have clinical problems postoperatively, and they have all used clinical or radiologic methods to diagnose the damage. These methods are indirect and hard to evaluate, making the accurate early diagnosis of phrenic nerve damage very difficult. Measurement of phrenic nerve conduction time (phrenic latency) allows direct evaluation of phrenic function and integrity, making it potentially much more specific than indirect methods. Using a simplified method of direct phrenic nerve stimulation, we have developed a method of measuring phrenic latency at the bedside in infants and children. A 1 Hz electrical stimulus is applied over the phrenic nerve in the neck and a diaphragmatic electromyogram from the seventh and eighth intercostal spaces is displayed on a storage oscilloscope. Phrenic latency can be measured directly from the screen. Using these methods we have now studied 37 children (aged 2 days to 15 years) before and after cardiac operations. Mean phrenic latency was 5.4 ± 1.0 msec on the right and 5.4 ± 1.0 msec on the left. Prolongation of phrenic latency by more than 2 msec was found in seven of 66 postoperative measurements (10.6%). These patients had a substantially worse postoperative course. We believe this technique to be an important contribution to the diagnosis of postoperative phrenic nerve damage, and one that can help in clinical practice to elucidate an important cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality.

49. ‘Detectsound’: A computerized model for predicting the detectability of warning signals in noisy workplaces

Author: H. Tran Quoc, C. Laroche, S. McDuff, and Raymond Hétu
Subjects: Engineering, Noise, Frequency selectivity, Acoustics and Ultrasonics, business.industry, Speech recognition, Sound detection, Sensitivity (control systems), business, Signal, Loudness
Abstract: Every year fatal injuries occur in noisy workplaces because a warning signal is not heard. Sound detection in competing noise is quite well documented, but there are very few practical tools allowing direct prediction of the ability to detect acoustic signals in varied noisy environments. The Groupe d'Acoustique de l'Universite de Montreal has developed a computerized model, called ‘Detectsound’, on an IBM-PC compatible, which can predict the capability of workers to detect auditory warning signals in noise. The model can take into account the effect of age on auditory sensitivity and frequency selectivity. This model is based essentially on loudness summation and excitation patterns. The foundations of the model and its various applications are presented. The ultimate goal of this research project is to supply practical means to health and safety personnel to (1) assess the audibility of warning signals and (2) design safe sound signals.

Abstract: The objective of this multicentre, randomised, open-label, general practice (GP) study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of cefprozil (Cefzil(trade mark), Bristol-Myers Squibb) compared with that of cefuroxime axetil (Ceftin((R)), Glaxo Wellcome) in the treatment of adult subjects with acute sinusitis. Typical of the GP setting, diagnosis was made based solely on clinical signs and symptoms of acute disease. Sinus radiography was performed post-randomisation. A total of 381 adolescent and adult patients were randomly assigned to 10 days' treatment with either cefprozil, 500mg orally twice daily (n = 191), or cefuroxime axetil, 250mg orally twice daily (n = 190). Based on predefined criteria, treatments were found to be equally effective in terms of proportions of patients in the per-protocol population that were cured, improved or failed (p = 0.20). Similar results were observed when the evaluation was performed on the subset of patients with radiographic evidence of sinusitis and when the evaluation was based on the investigator's judgement. Similar rates of adverse events were observed in the two treatment groups. In summary, cefprozil 500mg twice daily is as well tolerated and as effective as cefuroxime axetil 250mg twice daily for the treatment of adolescent and adult patients with clinical signs and symptoms of acute sinusitis.
