Abstract
Rainwater harvesting systems in urban settings are increasingly relied upon to mitigate pluvial flooding on top of providing an additional water supply. Alternative designs have been proposed to support their dual use. Stormwater management performance is typically evaluated through long-term averages. However, long-term assessment is not aligned with the goal of attenuating the impacts of short duration high-intensity rainfall events. This paper contributes a framework for evaluating the dual-use performance of design alternatives. The framework incorporates a set of stormwater management metrics that provides a robust characterisation of performance during significant rainfall events. To the usual long-term volumetric retention metric, we add: 1) metrics that represent the total volume and duration above predevelopment (greenfield) runoff rates; and 2) robust peak outflow rate and retention efficiencies based on the long-term median of a representative sample of significant rainfall events. Our multi-criteria performance visualisations of alternative dual-use designs highlight the importance of carefully designing the forecast-based controlled release mechanisms built into active systems. This work has direct implications for design guidance standards, which we discuss.

Abstract
Chromosome 1 is involved in quantitative anomalies in 50-60% of breast tumours. However, the structure of these anomalies and the identity of the affected genes remain to be determined. To characterise these anomalies and define their consequences on gene expression, we undertook a study combining array-CGH analysis and expression profiling using specialised arrays. Array-CGH data showed that 1p was predominantly involved in losses and 1q almost exclusively in gains. Noticeably, high magnitude amplification was infrequent. In an attempt to fine map regions of copy number changes, we defined 19 shortest regions of overlap (SROs) for gains (one at 1p and 18 at 1q) and of 20 SROs for losses (all at 1p). These SROs, whose sizes ranged from 170 kb to 3.2 Mb, represented the smallest genomic intervals possible based on the resolution of our array. The elevated incidence of gains at 1q, added to the well-established concordance between DNA copy increase and augmented RNA expression, made us focus on gene expression changes at this chromosomal arm. To identify candidate oncogenes, we studied the RNA expression profiles of 307 genes located at 1q using a home-made built cDNA array. We identified 30 candidate genes showing significant overexpression correlated to copy number increase. In order to substantiate their involvement, RNA expression levels of these candidate genes were measured by quantitative (Q)-RT-PCR in a panel of 25 breast cancer cell lines previously typed by array-CGH. Q-PCR showed that 11 genes were significantly overexpressed in the presence of a genomic gain in these cell lines, and 20 overexpressed when compared to normal breast.

Abstract
Legal suits against visceral surgeons have increased since the advent of laparoscopic surgery. The duties of physicians have not however changed with the development of laparoscopic techniques. Since the decree promulgated in 1936, physicians have a legal commitment to provide the means required for patient care. This obligation has been recalled in different court judgements and in the new deontology code. In addition, jurisprudence tends more and more towards responsibility without risk. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not risk-free. Although morbidity and mortality have not risen with laparoscopic procedures, the types of complications encountered have changed. Reported accidents have become more frequent. The number of suits against surgeons has also increased. Surgeons must therefore be highly prudent and diligent. Precautions concerning personnel management, the choice of material and its upkeep. Special care must be given to the peroperative pneumoperitoneum and the use of monopolar electrocoagulation. A peroperative cholangiogram should be obtained. A careful operative report is very important. The surgeon must be able to justify his competence. Finally, the surgical community should publish more results concerning the rate of complications in order to establish reference material for experts.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE The clinical characteristics, histopathologic condition, and outcome of bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) were studied to detect possible prognostic indicators. DESIGN A retrospective review was conducted of 97 patients who had a curative resection for BAC between 1975 and 1993. PATIENTS There were 83 men and 14 women with a mean age of 59 years (30 to 75 years). INTERVENTIONS Resection comprised lobectomy in 84 cases (87%), bilobectomy, pneumonectomy, and a wedge excision. RESULTS Sixty-two percent of patients were asymptomatic. The radiographic pattern was a solitary nodule in 85% of patients and lobar pneumonitis or diffuse infiltrate in 15%. In 12% of patients, the solitary lesion had been stable for period of 2 to 7 years before diagnosis. The TNM staging of the disease included 71 patients with stage I, 14 with stage II, and 12 with stage IIIA. Review of the gross pathologic features revealed well-circumscribed tumors in 88% of patients and diffuse or multifocal tumors in 12%. Mucinous differentiation was present in 43% of patients, vascular invasion in 22%, and aerogenous spread in 49%. Overall survival was 89% at 1 year, 76% at 2 years, 48% at 5 years, and 39% at 10 years. The survival curves according to histologic features showed a statistically significant difference between diffuse lesions and nodular lesions, between lesions with and without aerogenous spread (diffuse lesions excluded), and between lesions with and without vascular invasion. CONCLUSIONS The natural history of BAC is especially influenced by its nodular or diffuse nature, vascular invasion, and aerogenous spread.

Abstract
Since the advent of laparoscopic surgery, the number of suits against surgeons has risen. One of the most frequent complaints is the lack of sufficient information. Physicians in France have a formal obligation to provide information in the contractual legal context established since 1936. This notion has been confirmed in several court cases. The requirement for patient informed consent has been confirmed by several decisions of the Appeals Court and is stated in the code of deontology. The value of classical oral information has been recently questioned in certain court cases. We analyse the current legal situation in France and try to define the content of information required in the case of laparoscopic surgery in addition to the way this information is provided and the means of obtaining informed consent. The information provided must be personalised. The patient must informed that laparoscopy remains a surgical operation. It is licit to warn the patient of predictable risks according to statistical probabilities, of the team's experience and of the patients own status including past history and psychological factors. A written statement may be prepared but must remain a document complementary to personalised oral information. The surgeon must obtain and assure good patient comprehension. The surgical community should publish risk rates in order for surgeons to have reliable references which can be used to define the notion of exceptional risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although long-term complications of intubation and tracheostomy are well documented, little has been reported on acute complications of airway access techniques. METHODS Fourteen patients (1 male and 13 female patients) aged 15 to 80 years presented with tracheobronchial lacerations after single-lumen intubation (n = 9), double-lumen intubation (n = 1), or tracheostomy (n = 4). RESULTS A left bronchial laceration after double-lumen intubation was discovered and repaired intraoperatively. A tracheal laceration after single-lumen intubation was recognized during induction of anesthesia. The remaining 12 were diagnosed within 6 to 126 hours (median, 24 hours) after injury. All patients had mediastinal and subcutaneous emphysema. At endoscopy, 12 injuries were located in the thoracic trachea and 1 in the cervical trachea. Twelve underwent primary repair through a right thoracotomy (n = 11) or left cervicotomy (n = 1), and 1 was treated conservatively. Two patients with tracheostomy injury died postoperatively. All repairs healed well but one. The latter was performed 5 days after the injury; a dehiscence occurred, but healed spontaneously. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that prognosis of tracheal lacerations depends both on the general health of the patient and on the rapidity of diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
An original method based upon high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to ion spray mass spectrometry (HPLC-ISP-MS) has been developed for the identification and quantification of colchicine (COL) in human blood, plasma or urine. After single-step liquid-liquid extraction by dichloromethane at pH 8.0 using tofisopam (TOF) as an internal standard, solutes are separated on a 5-microns C18 Microbore (Alltech) column (250 x 1.0 mm, I.D.), using acetonitrile-2 mM NH4COOH, pH 3 buffer (75: 25, v/v) as the mobile phase (flow-rate 50 microliters/min). Detection is done by a Perkin-Elmer Sciex API-100 mass analyzer equipped with a ISP interface (nebulizing and curtain gas: N2, quality U; main settings: ISP, +4.0 kV; OR, +50 V; Q0, -10 V; Q1, -13 V; electron multiplier, +2.2 kV); MS data are collected as either total ion current (TIC, m/z 100-500 or 380-405), or selected ion monitoring (SIM) at m/z 400 and 383 for COL and TOF, respectively. COL mass spectrum shows a prominent molecular ion [M + H]+ at m/z 400. Increasing OR potential fails to provide a significant fragmentation. Retention times are 2.70 and 4.53 min for COL and TOF, respectively. The quantification method shows a good linearity (r = 0.998) over a concentration range from 5 to 200 ng/ml. The lower limit of detection in SIM mode is 0.6 ng/ml COL, making the method convenient for both clinical and forensic purposes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to re-evaluate operative risk and probability for survival patients with a history of upper aerodigestive cancer, who underwent thoracotomy for presumed primary bronchogenic cancer. Our hypothesis was to consider any isolated lung opacity as a primary bronchogenic cancer. METHODS The cohort under investigation included 114 consecutive patients. Histology of bronchial cancer was squamous cell carcinoma in 98 patients (86%), adenocarcinoma in 14 (12%) and large cell carcinoma in 2 (2%). Exploratory thoracotomy was performed in 5 patients (4%); the remaining 109 patients underwent a potentially curative resection, including 25 pneumonectomies (22%) and 84 conservative resections (74%). Pathological staging was as follows: 66 stage I (58%), 20 II (17.5%), 20 IIIa (17.5%), 6 stage IIIb (5%), and 2 stage IV (2%). RESULTS Four patients died post-operatively (3.5%). Non-fatal morbidity concerned 32 patients (28.1%) and was dominated by respiratory superinfections. Incidence of respiratory infections was increased after voice-sparing resections (chi 2 = 4.311, P < 0.05), and more particularly after transmaxillary buccopharyngectomy (chi 2 = 12.224; P < 0.01). Estimated 5-year survival was 28.7% (33.3% in stage I, 19.2% in stage II, and 30.2% in stage III). There was no difference in survival with reference to the location of head and neck cancer (chi 2 = 3.412; 0.05 < P < 0.1) or chronology (chi 2 = 0.005; P > 0.9). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that isolated lung opacities in patients with previous or simultaneous head and neck cancer are most likely primary bronchogenic cancers. The acceptable operative mortality legitimizes surgical treatment despite an impaired 5-year survival; patients with a previous voice-sparing operation are at increased risk for respiratory complications and should be managed carefully.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection of previous collapse therapy spaces may raise challenging problems. This study evaluated a conservative surgical approach based on decortication. METHODS Since 1979, 28 patients (mean age, 60 +/- 6 years) have presented at an average of 37 +/- 7 years after artificial pneumothorax for tuberculosis. Diagnosis of empyema was made on follow-up in 12 patients and on symptoms in 16 patients. Mean vital capacity was 66% +/- 16% of normal. Microorganisms were isolated in 13 patients (Aspergillus fumigatus in 5, Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 4, anaerobes in 4). Decortication was made in 24 patients, associated with thoracoplasty in 4, and with partial lung resection in 2 patients. Thoracoplasty alone was performed in 2 patients, and 2 patients underwent an extrapleural pneumonectomy. RESULTS Both extrapleural pneumonectomies were complicated with empyema requiring thoracoplasty, resulting in one postoperative death. Operative mortality after decortication was nil. Mean intraoperative blood loss during decortication was 1,830 +/- 1,310 mL. All patients were extubated within 24 hours, except 1 patient who was ventilator-dependent preoperatively. Prolonged air leaks were common (mean duration of drainage, 16 +/- 11 days), but ultimately sealed. Existence of symptoms was predictive of prolonged air leaks (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that decortication may provide a one-stage cure avoiding the hazards of extrapleural pneumonectomy; the nonfunctioning remaining lung may resolve the space problem.
