Cortical Maturation

The purpose of this study was to investigate, over a period of five years, the cortical maturation of the central auditory pathways and its impacts on the auditory and oral language development of children with effective use and without effective use of a Cochlear Implant (CI). A case series study was conducted with seven children who were CI users and seven children with normal hearing, with age- and gender-matched to CI users. The assessment was performed by long-latency auditory evoked potentials and auditory and oral language behavioral protocols. The results pronounced P1 latency decrease in all CI users in the first nine months. Over five years, five children with effective CI use presented decrease or stabilization of P1 latency and a gradual development of auditory and oral language skills, although, for most of the children, the electrophysiological and behavior results remained poor than their hearing peers’ results. Two children who stopped the effective use of CI after the first year of activation had worsened auditory and oral language behavioral skills and presented increased P1 latency. A negative correlation was observed between behavioral measures and the P1 latency, the P1 component being considered an important clinical resource capable of measuring the cortical maturation and the behavioral evolution.

Tacrolimus (FK 506) is a macrolactam derivative with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity. Topical tacrolimus 0.03% has been used for inflammatory conditions of the anterior segment. This article adds to the literature on the off-license application of tacrolimus ointment, by describing the safe and effective use of the higher strength of 0.1% topical tacrolimus skin ointment in four patients. To our knowledge this is the first report of topical tacrolimus 0.1% ointment applied to the conjunctival sac for the treatment of atopic keratoconjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis and the post-operative management of trabeculectomy and graft rejection in steroid responders.

Effective Use

Impella devices are percutaneously inserted ventricular assist devices which require a continuous purge solution that contains heparin to prevent pump thrombosis and device failure. We describe 2 patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) supported with an Impella device utilizing an argatroban-based purge solution. Case 1 involved an 83-year-old female with biventricular failure which resulted in right ventricle Impella support. The purge solution was changed to include argatroban due to concern of device clotting in the setting of HIT. Case 2 involved a 55-year-old male with worsening cardiogenic shock which resulted in left ventricle Impella support. Due to decreased purge flow rates and concerns for clotting, argatroban was added to the purge solution. Both patients’ total argatroban regimens were monitored and adjusted by pharmacy, resulting in therapeutic anticoagulation without any major bleeding or thrombotic events. Subsequently, a protocol was designed and implemented. These case reports appear to demonstrate the safe and effective use of argatroban purge solutions for the necessary anticoagulation with an Impella device. Further studies are needed to confirm these results and determine the optimal dosing regimen.

This chapter examines Bolivian perspectives on the Hague Principles. Bolivia has few legal provisions and little meaningful legal precedent referring to international commercial contracts and choice of law. Nevertheless, Bolivia’s legal system recognizes the importance of party autonomy, custom, usage, equity, and even culture in contract law. In that sense, the Hague Principles may be useful in a variety of ways, such as supplementing or re-interpreting national laws, as guidance for legal reform, or as incorporated by reference into a contract. The existing legal vacuums in Bolivian law may at times offer even broader opportunities for their use than in other jurisdictions where the law is more developed. The Hague Principles could be applied by courts and arbitral tribunals as a subsidiary source of law, either in cases where there is no specific rule applicable to the matter at hand or in cases where the Hague Principles would be helpful to interpret the applicable conflict rule. The application of the Hague Principles cannot contradict Bolivia’s mandatory rules or public policy. For an effective use of the Hague Principles, it should be noted how these are in line with constitutional principles, particularly party autonomy.

Single Living Cells

Advances in digital imaging microscopy and in the synthesis of fluorescent dyes allow the determination of 3D distribution of specific proteins, ions, GNA or DNA in single living cells. Effective use of this technology requires a combination of optical and computer hardware and software for image restoration, feature extraction and computer graphics.The digital imaging microscope consists of a conventional epifluorescence microscope with computer controlled focus, excitation and emission wavelength and duration of excitation. Images are recorded with a cooled (-80°C) CCD. 3D images are obtained as a series of optical sections at .25 - .5 μm intervals.A conventional microscope has substantial blurring along its optical axis. Out of focus contributions to a single optical section cause low contrast and flare; details are poorly resolved along the optical axis. We have developed new computer algorithms for reversing these distortions. These image restoration techniques and scanning confocal microscopes yield significantly better images; the results from the two are comparable.

Specially Designed Instruction

Abstract School speech-language pathologists and districts frequently need guidance regarding how the legal provisions of special education affect the needs of children with dysphagia. This article reviews key principles of special education that guide eligibility determination and provision of services to all children. In the eligibility process, the school team would determine if the child's disability has an adverse effect on his/her education program and if the child needed special education (specially designed instruction) and related services. Dysphagia services would be considered a related service, a health service needed for the child to benefit from specially designed instruction. The article concludes with recommendations for practice that stem from a review of due process hearings and court cases for children with disabilities that include swallowing.
