    Abstract The article presents a view of transference from the early versions of transference by Classical/Structural analysts, through a variety of analytic positions that extend and implicitly question the concept of transference. After looking at Brenner and Bird's transference positions, we trace the beginning of relational analysis as articulated by Gill. The differences among several subsequent relational positions are then explicated. Self-Psychology is conceptualized as providing a clarification of Freud's view of narcissism leading to a new perspective on narcissistic transference states. The article concludes by detailing Contemporary Freudian concepts that integrate various object relation positions within an overriding Freudian theoretical structure. The Contemporary Freudian positions in some ways mirror Ogden's attempts to integrate diverse positions.

    Abstract Consider the tight binding model of graphene, sharply terminated along an edge l parallel to a direction of translational symmetry of the underlying period lattice. We classify such edges l into those of "zigzag type" and those of "armchair type," generalizing the classical zigzag and armchair edges. We prove that zero-energy/flat-band edge states arise for edges of zigzag type, but never for those of armchair type. We exhibit explicit formulae for flat-band edge states when they exist. We produce strong evidence for the existence of dispersive (nonflat) edge state curves of nonzero energy for most l.

    Abstract In response to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR; Niel, Belgium) release of an updated recommendation related to out-of-hospital spinal immobilization (SI) practice in 2015, a systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist of English-language studies published from January 2000 through July 2019 on the use of SI in resource-scarce environments (RSEs). Studies meeting the following criteria were included in the analysis: peer-reviewed statistical studies or reports detailing management of potential traumatic spinal injury in RSE, civilian, and military environments; as well as consensus clinical guidelines, academic center, or professional association protocols or policy statements detailing management of potential traumatic spinal injury in RSE, civilian, and military environments; statistical analysis; and subsequent management of spinal injuries after mass-casualty incidents, in complex humanitarian events or conflict zones, low-to middle-income countries, or prolonged transport times published by government and non-government organizations. Studies excluded from consideration were those not related to a patient with a potential traumatic spinal injury after a mass-casualty incident, in complex humanitarian event or conflict zones, in low-to middle-income countries, or with prolonged transport times.There were one thousand twenty-nine (1029) studies initially identified. After removal of duplicates, nine hundred-nineteen (919) were screened with eight hundred sixty-three (863) excluded. The remaining fifty-six (56) received further review with fourteen (14) selected studies achieving inclusion. The reviewed articles comprised six (6) types of studies and represented research from institutions in seven (7) different countries (Israel, United States, Haiti, Wales, Pakistan, China, and Iran). Thirteen (13) references were case reports/narrative reviews, policy statements, retrospective observational studies, narrative literature reviews, scoping reviews, and one systematic review. The majority of literature describing spinal cord injury was predominantly associated with earthquakes and blast-related disasters. There were no SI evidence-based clinical guidelines (EBG) in RSE. Information was obtained that could be used to formulate statements in a modified Delphi study to present to experts to obtain consensus SI EBG in RSE.

  6. Book ; Online: Infinite Lewis Weights in Spectral Graph Theory

    Abstract We study the spectral implications of re-weighting a graph by the $\ell_\infty$-Lewis weights of its edges. Our main motivation is the ER-Minimization problem (Saberi et al., SIAM'08): Given an undirected graph $G$, the goal is to find positive normalized edge-weights $w\in \mathbb{R}_+^m$ which minimize the sum of pairwise \emph{effective-resistances} of $G_w$ (Kirchhoff's index). By contrast, $\ell_\infty$-Lewis weights minimize the \emph{maximum} effective-resistance of \emph{edges}, but are much cheaper to approximate, especially for Laplacians. With this algorithmic motivation, we study the ER-approximation ratio obtained by Lewis weights. Our first main result is that $\ell_\infty$-Lewis weights provide a constant ($\approx 3.12$) approximation for ER-minimization on \emph{trees}. The proof introduces a new technique, a local polarization process for effective-resistances ($\ell_2$-congestion) on trees, which is of independent interest in electrical network analysis. For general graphs, we prove an upper bound $\alpha(G)$ on the approximation ratio obtained by Lewis weights, which is always $\leq \min\{ \text{diam}(G), \kappa(L_{w_\infty})\}$, where $\kappa$ is the condition number of the weighted Laplacian. All our approximation algorithms run in \emph{input-sparsity} time $\tilde{O}(m)$, a major improvement over Saberi et al.'s $O(m^{3.5})$ SDP for exact ER-minimization. Finally, we demonstrate the favorable effects of $\ell_\infty$-LW reweighting on the \emph{spectral-gap} of graphs and on their \emph{spectral-thinness} (Anari and Gharan, 2015). En-route to our results, we prove a weighted analogue of Mohar's classical bound on $\lambda_2(G)$, and provide a new characterization of leverage-scores of a matrix, as the gradient (w.r.t weights) of the volume of the enclosing ellipsoid.

    Abstract Background: To present a patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who developed a significant neurological deficit after posterior spinal fusion, in association with anemia on postoperative day two.
    Case report: A 14-year-old otherwise healthy female underwent a T3-L3 instrumented posterior spinal fusion for idiopathic scoliosis which was uneventful. Immediate post-operative clinical examination was unremarkable but at postoperative day three the patient developed generalized lower extremity weakness with inability to stand and an urinary retention needing continuous intermittent catheterization program. Her hemoglobin (Hg) dropped from 10 g/dL on postoperative day one to 6.2 g/dL at day two, despite no significant bleeding was noticed. Compressive etiology was ruled out by postoperative myelogram-CT. The patient started to improve significantly after transfusion support. At three months follow-up the patient was neurologically normal.
    Conclusion: Close clinical neurological evaluation over 48 to 72 hours is needed in order to detect unexpected delayed paralysis following scoliosis surgery.

    Abstract Background: Research has shown that postoperative shoulder imbalance is a common problem after spinal fusion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The best radiographic predictor has not yet been determined and results are inconsistent. This study was to investigate whether using medial and lateral shoulder parameters can effectively achieve postoperative shoulder balance.
    Methods: A prospective database of AIS undergoing posterior spinal fusion were reviewed. Patient demographics and radiological parameters including radiographic shoulder height (RSH), clavicle angle, T1-tilt and first-rib angle at baseline, 6 weeks and last minimal follow up of 2 years were recorded. Correlations between radiological parameters were assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficients. Multivariable linear models identified predictors associated with increased RSH.
    Results: 219 patients (mean age:13.7 years; 81.7% female) were included. The mean follow-up time was 2.8 years (range:2.0-7.0). The mean RSH at baseline, 6 weeks and last follow up was improved significantly at 95.8%. Preoperative (r=0.8; p<0.001) and post-operative measurements of RSH at 6-week (r=0.9; p<0.001) and last follow up (r=0.9; p<0.001) correlated strongly with clavicle angle measured at respective time-points. In a multivariable linear model, we noted marginal increase in clavicle angle (+4.3°; p<0.001) to be associated with increased RSH. On the contrary, first rib angle and T1-tilt demonstrated moderate to weak correlation with RSH.
    Conclusion: Clavicle angle is strongly consistent with RSH. First rib angle and T1-tilt as demonstrate medial shoulder balance are moderate to weak correlation. Leveling T1 tilt and first rib angle do not guarantee the postoperative shoulder balance.

    Abstract Background: Proximal femoral growth disturbance (PFGD) can be the most devastating complication of the treatment of development dysplasia of the hip. The reported incidence ranges from 0% to 73%. The condition involves varying degrees of growth disturbances of the femoral capital epiphysis, the physeal plate or both.
    Purpose: This manuscript will discuss normal growth and development of the hip, the blood supply to the upper end of the femur, pathological and radiographic changes, classifications used to describe PFGD and, most importantly, the potential causes of these growth disturbances and the authors' strategies for avoiding PFGD.

    Abstract GNAS is a complex imprinted locus with multiple oppositely imprinted gene products, including the G protein α-subunit Gsα that is expressed primarily from the maternal allele in some tissues and the Gsα isoform XLαs that is expressed only from the paternal allele. Maternal Gsα mutations in mice and in patients with Albright hereditary osteodystrophy lead to obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia. Studies in mice show that these effects are primarily due to Gsα imprinting in the central nervous system and that Gsα deficiency in one or more regions of the central nervous system lead to reduced sympathetic nervous system and energy expenditure without affecting food intake. Loss of Gsα in the central nervous system appears to lead to these effects primarily through impairment of melanocortin signaling. Loss of XLαs in mice leads to opposite effects on energy and glucose metabolism.
