Workplace Injury and the Failing Academic Body: A Testimony of Pain.

This article explores how meanings around risk, health/safety, and workers' bodies are constructed in an academic context. I do so through the study of a single academic in Australia who sustained a back injury at work. Through an analysis of in-depth interviews and documents, I attempt to show the embodied experience of an injured worker's struggle for care, recovery, and survival in the neoliberal academy.

Allergic Colitis With Pneumatosis Intestinalis in an Infant.

Inflammatory causes of bloody diarrhea during infancy include necrotizing enterocolitis and allergic colitis, often due to cow's milk protein. We report this case of cow's milk protein allergy, managed successfully with elimination of dietary antigen, to highlight the unusual finding of pneumatosis intestinalis on abdominal x-ray, a radiographic hallmark associated with necrotizing enterocolitis. Detailed patient's history, clinical presentation, and physical examinations are discussed for cow's milk protein allergy and necrotizing enterocolitis.

The Effect of a Full Bladder on Proportions of Diagnostic Ultrasound Studies in Children with Suspected Appendicitis.

Objectives: We examined the effect of a full bladder on proportions of diagnostic ultrasound (US) studies in children with suspected appendicitis. We also examined the effect of a full bladder on proportions of fully visualized ovaries on US in children with suspected appendicitis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective health record review of children aged 2-17 years presenting to a tertiary pediatric emergency department (ED) with suspected appendicitis who had an ultrasound performed.

The Use of Routine Blood Cultures in Pediatric Appendicitis.

Objectives: To determine the proportion of true-positive blood culture results in children presenting to the ED with suspected appendicitis. To describe the current practice of obtaining blood cultures in children with suspected appendicitis.

Methods: We performed a 2-year retrospective health record review of all children aged 2 through 17 years investigated for suspected appendicitis at a tertiary Pediatric Emergency Department.

Charging of multiple interacting particles by contact electrification.

Many processes involve the movement of a disordered collection of small particles (e.g., powders, grain, dust, and granular foods).

Outcomes of children with suspected appendicitis and incompletely visualized appendix on ultrasound.

Objectives: The objective was to review the clinical outcomes of children with suspected appendicitis after an ultrasound (US) examination fails to fully visualize the appendix, the diagnostic characteristics of US in children with suspected appendicitis, and the predictive value of secondary signs of appendicitis when the appendix is not fully visualized.

Methods: This was a retrospective health record review of children aged 3 to 17 years presenting to a tertiary pediatric emergency department (ED) with suspected appendicitis. Descriptive statistics and diagnostic test characteristics are reported.

Contact de-electrification of electrostatically charged polymers.

The contact electrification of insulating organic polymers is still incompletely understood, in part because multiple fundamental mechanisms may contribute to the movement of charge. This study describes a mechanism previously unreported in the context of contact electrification: that is, "contact de-electrification", a process in which polymers charged to the same polarity discharge on contact. Both positively charged polymeric beads, e.

Neddylation dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.

Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis is a major mechanism that downregulates misfolded proteins or those that have finished a programmed task. In the last two decades, neddylation has emerged as a major regulatory pathway for ubiquitination. Central to the neddylation pathway is the amyloid precursor protein (APP)-binding protein APP-BP1, which together with Uba3, plays an analogous role to the ubiquitin-activating enzyme E1 in nedd8 activation.

A meta-analysis of cytokines in major depression.

Background: Major depression occurs in 4.4% to 20% of the general population. Studies suggest that major depression is accompanied by immune dysregulation and activation of the inflammatory response system (IRS).
