Abstract
Purpose: The healthcare sector is an important area for sustainable food initiatives, given its inherent mission to heal and its substantial impact on the food system. Foodservice managers can take part in these initiatives by using sustainable menu practices (SMPs). This study aimed to explore managerial perceptions of barriers and facilitators to adopting SMPs in Québec healthcare institutions.Methods: Seventeen foodservice managers were recruited through purposeful sampling to participate in a qualitative semi-structured interview. The Diffusion of Innovations theory was used to assess the main determinants of the diffusion of an innovation (SMPs) through a complex social system (healthcare organization).Results: Participants reported more barriers than facilitators. Lack of support at many levels was recognized as a major hindrance to SMP adoption, as were shortfalls in political directives. Increased collaboration between all food system actors and better communication in healthcare were perceived as needed for increased SMP adoption.Conclusions: This research contributes to an in-depth understanding of managerial experiences in SMP adoption in various regional and healthcare settings. Findings suggest the need for support and strategies that would remove important barriers for foodservice managers and contributed to the development of a guide to support foodservice managers in implementing SMPs.

Abstract
Enhanced efficiency fertilisers (EEF) may reduce nitrogen (N) losses and improve uptake efficiency through synchronising N release with in-season plant requirements. We hypothesised that EEF formed via matrix encapsulation in biodegradable polymers will improve N use efficiency when compared to conventional urea fertiliser. This hypothesis was investigated for two biodegradable polymer matrices: polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), containing 11.6% urea (by mass), and polybutylene-adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT), containing either 19.4 or 32.7% urea; and two contrasting soil types: sand and clay. Nitrogen availability and form was investigated under leaching conditions (water) with a growth accelerator pot experiment involving a horticultural crop and novel non-destructive three-dimensional scanning to measure in-season biomass development. The PBAT 32.7% formulation enabled greater above ground biomass production at both 50 and 100 kg N ha-1 equivalent application rates compared to conventional urea. For the sandy soil, plant scanning indicated that improved uptake performance with PBAT 32.7% was probably the result of greater N availability after 25 days than for conventional urea. Two of the encapsulated formulations (PHA and PBAT 19.4%) tended to decrease nitrogen leaching losses relative to urea (P < 0.05 for the red clay soil). However, decreased N leaching loss was accompanied by poorer N uptake performance, indicative of N being less available in these biopolymer formulations. A snapshot of nitrous oxide emissions collected during peak nitrate concentration (prior to planting and leaching) suggested that the biopolymers promoted N loss via gaseous emission relative to urea in the sandy soil (P < 0.05), and carbon dioxide emissions data suggested that biopolymer-carbon increased microbial activity (P < 0.1). Controlled testing of N release in water was a poor predictor of biomass production and leaching losses. The diverse behaviours of the tested formulations present the potential to optimise biopolymers and their N loadings by taking into account soil and environmental factors that influence the efficient delivery of N to target crops. The greater N uptake efficiency demonstrated for the PBAT 32.7% formulation confirms our hypothesis that matrix encapsulation can enable better synchronisation of N release with crop requirements and decrease leaching losses.

Abstract
Cardiac ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels couple changes in cellular metabolism to membrane excitability and are activated during metabolic stress, although under basal aerobic conditions, KATP channels are thought to be predominately closed. Despite intense research into the roles of KATP channels during metabolic stress, their contribution to aerobic basal cardiac metabolism has not been previously investigated. Hearts from Kir6.2+/+ and Kir6.2−/− mice were perfused in working mode, and rates of glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and glucose oxidation were measured. Changes in activation/expression of proteins regulating metabolism were probed by Western blot analysis. Despite cardiac mechanical function and metabolic efficiency being similar in both groups, hearts from Kir6.2−/− mice displayed an approximately twofold increase in fatty acid oxidation and a 0.45-fold reduction in glycolytic rates but similar glucose oxidation rates compared with hearts from Kir6.2+/+ mice. Kir6.2−/− hearts also possessed elevated levels of activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), higher glycogen content, and reduced mitochondrial density. Moreover, activation of AMPK by isoproterenol or diazoxide was significantly blunted in Kir6.2−/− hearts. These data indicate that KATP channel ablation alters aerobic basal cardiac metabolism. The observed increase in fatty acid oxidation and decreased glycolysis before any metabolic insult may contribute to the poor recovery observed in Kir6.2−/− hearts in response to exercise or ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, KATP channels may play an important role in the regulation of cardiac metabolism through AMPK signaling. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study, we show that genetic ablation of plasma membrane ATP-sensitive K+ channels results in pronounced changes in cardiac metabolic substrate preference and AMP-activated protein kinase activity. These results suggest that ATP-sensitive K+ channels may play a novel role in regulating metabolism in addition to their well-documented effects on ionic homeostasis during periods of stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthotopic liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for most terminal liver diseases in children. In small children (≤ 10 kg), this procedure is challenging and has special considerations. The aim of this study is to describe the experience of a Chilean liver transplantation program in this subgroup of patients. METHODS The liver transplant database of Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna and Clinica Las Condes was reviewed. All children less than 10 kg undergoing liver transplantation between January 1994 and July 2011 were included. Patient and graft outcomes and main complications were analyzed. RESULTS We have performed 230 pediatric liver transplantations, 49 of them in 41 patients weighing less than 10 kg. The first indication for transplantation was biliary atresia in 25 patients (61%). A living related donor was used in 23 cases (51%). Actuarial survival was 75.7% at 1 year and 67.1% at 5 years. The main cause of death was infection, and the leading cause of graft loss was vascular complication. DISCUSSION Our transplant program includes 2 centers that perform more than 90% of pediatric liver transplantations in Chile, including public health pediatric patients from all around the country. Patients weighing less than 10 kg represent the most challenging group in pediatric liver transplantation due to higher rates of vascular and biliary complications and postoperative infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calreticulin, a Ca(2+)-buffering chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum, is highly expressed in the embryonic heart and is essential for cardiac development. After birth, the calreticulin gene is sharply down regulated in the heart, and thus, adult hearts have negligible levels of calreticulin. In this study we tested the role of calreticulin in the adult heart. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We generated an inducible transgenic mouse in which calreticulin is targeted to the cardiac tissue using a Cre/loxP system and can be up-regulated in adult hearts. Echocardiography analysis of hearts from transgenic mice expressing calreticulin revealed impaired left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and impaired mitral valve function. There was altered expression of Ca(2+) signaling molecules and the gap junction proteins, Connexin 43 and 45. Sarcoplasmic reticulum associated Ca(2+)-handling proteins (including the cardiac ryanodine receptor, sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, and cardiac calsequestrin) were down-regulated in the transgenic hearts with increased expression of calreticulin. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE We show that in adult heart, up-regulated expression of calreticulin induces cardiomyopathy in vivo leading to heart failure. This is due to an alternation in changes in a subset of Ca(2+) handling genes, gap junction components and left ventricle remodeling.

Abstract
CONTEXT Treatment burden, the burden associated with the treatment and management of chronic illness, has not yet been well articulated. OBJECTIVE Using Rodgers' (1989, Journal of Advanced Nursing, 14, 330-335) method of concept analysis, this review describes the ways in which treatment burden has been conceptualized to define the concept and to develop a framework for understanding its attributes, antecedents and consequences. METHODS Leading databases were searched electronically between the years 2002 and 2011. To ensure the review focused on actual observations of the concept of interest, articles that did not measure treatment burden (either qualitatively or quantitatively) were excluded. An inductive approach was used to identify themes related to the concept of treatment burden. MAIN RESULTS Thirty articles, identified from 1557 abstracts, were included in the review. The attributes of treatment burden include burden as a dynamic process, as a multidimensional concept, and comprising of both subjective and objective elements. Prominent predisposing factors (antecedents) include the person's age and gender, their family circumstances, possible comorbidity, high use of medications, characteristics of treatment and their relationship with their health-care provider. The most dominant consequences are poor health and well-being, non-adherence to treatment, ineffective resource use and burden on significant others. Furthermore, many of these consequences can also become antecedents, reflecting the cyclic and dynamic nature of treatment burden. CONCLUSION The findings underscore the need for researchers and health-care professionals to engage in collaborative discussions and make cooperative efforts to help alleviate treatment burden and tailor treatment regimens to the realities of people's daily lives.

Abstract
Necropsies were performed on 14 psittacine birds of various species suspected to have proventricular dilatation disease (PDD). Eight of the birds exhibited neurological signs (seizures, ataxia, tremors and uncoordinated movements) and digestive tract signs (crop stasis, regurgitation, inappetance and presence of undigested food in the faeces). At necropsy, the birds had pectoral muscle atrophy, proventricular and ventricular distention, thinning of the gizzard wall, and duodenal dilation. In addition, five birds had a transparent fluid (0.2 to 1.0 ml) in the subarachnoidal space of the brain, and one bird had dilatation of the right ventricle of the heart. The histological lesions differed from earlier reports of PDD in that peripheral (sciatic, brachial and vagal) neuritis was seen in addition to myenteric ganglioneuritis, myocarditis, adrenalitis, myelitis and encephalitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute liver failure (ALF) in children is a life-threatening condition, associated with high mortality, and in almost one third of the cases, with no other therapeutic option than orthotopic liver transplant (OLT). The aim of this study was to present our experience with OLT for ALF in pediatric patients in Chile. Patients fulfilling the criteria for ALF who were transplanted in our centers were prospectively included in an excel Microsoft database. We analyzed demographics, etiology, surgical techniques, complications, and long-term results. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1994 and 2009, we transplanted 52 pediatric patients with ALF. The most frequent known etiology was acute hepatitis A in 9 cases (18%), but in 26 cases (50%) it was impossible to determine the etiology. Thirty- one patients were males (63%). The overall mean age was 7.5 years and the mean weight, 28.1 kg. Thirty-five (67%) received a cadaveric graft. Among them in 18 cases (34%) the liver had to be reduced but 17 (33%) received whole livers. There were 17 (33%) recipients of living-related livers. Twenty-two patients needed reoperation, including 13 due to surgical complications (59%) and 9 (41%) as planned interventions. Ten patients were retransplanted. RESULTS Actuarial survival of patients at 1 year was 80% and at 5 and 10 years, 72%. Graft survival at 1 year was 79%, at 5 years 69%, and at 10 years 50%. CONCLUSION We have reported a series of pediatric liver transplant patients due to ALF whose results were comparable to other reported series. Living donor transplantation for ALF should be considered and offers a low morbidity rate without mortality.

Abstract
This paper describes the experiences of volunteers who have been trained to deliver the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program course. In Queensland, Australia, Leaders usually work in pairs (a Health Professional Leader (HPL) and a Peer Leader (PL)). Qualitative data were collected to explore volunteers' experiences as Leaders and their opinions about working together to deliver self-management courses. The data were collected from September 2005 to December 2005. In-depth, semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 34 Leaders (17 PL, 17 HPLs). Thematic analysis revealed two core themes that described Leaders' perceptions and experiences of working relationships between HPLs and PLs: (i) The Value of Working Together and (2) Relationship Tensions. Both HPLs and PLs believed that working together represented 'the best of both worlds' and that the combination of peers and health professionals enhanced the sustainability of the approach. However, a number of tensions were revealed that undermined the development and sustainability of these working relationships. From HPLs' perspective, the benefits of working with volunteer PLs did not always justify the 'burden'. Finding the 'right person' for the PL role was difficult and a higher value was often placed on the contribution of professionals. The tensions that were most prominent for PLs were grounded in the disparity between their status and that of HPLs, their lack of ownership over courses coupled with lack of a strong voice in the co-Leader relationship, and the absence of connection and engagement among Leaders. Working relationships between HPLs and PLs have potential to deliver positive outcomes for people with chronic disease, but the current study has highlighted the necessity of developing a culture of mutual respect and a system that values both forms of knowledge and expertise (i.e. experiential and professional).

Abstract
Several psychosocial and behavioral problems have been reported in liver transplanted children. Most publications have focused on them, without considering their family environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction between liver transplanted children and their families, compared with a healthy control group. We selected liver transplanted children, between 8 and 12 years of age, with at least 6 months follow-up posttransplantation and in good clinical condition. Family structure also included 1 to 3 other children. Evaluable patients must have been living with their parents throughout the whole posttransplantation period. They were compared with a similar group of children without any chronic disease. A written informed consent was signed by both parents. All families were evaluated using a standard test consisting of different situations. The information was evaluated by 3 independent experts. Factors evaluated were limits (rules and limits of behavior), alliance-opposition (interaction between members to act), and hierarchy. Scoring was given to all observed acts. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square tests with P < .05 considered significant. No statistical differences were found between groups in limits, alliance, and hierarchy. Our results showed that there were no differences in family structure and behavior between families of liver-transplanted and healthy children belonging to a similar socioeconomic level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liver transplantation is the only treatment for end-stage liver disease. Not all patients have a favorable outcome. Graft failure secondary to primary nonfunction, vascular complications, or chronic rejection among other problems may lead to retransplantation. Retransplantation represents 8% to 29% of liver transplantations in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to present our experience with retransplanted children by analyzing the indications and the results. METHODS All patients were prospectively included in our database, including 125 children. We included the indications for retransplantation, complications, and mortality. Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis. RESULTS Since 1994, 125 patients were transplanted and 25 were retransplanted (20%), including 5 who received a third graft. Primary nonfunction represented 30% of the indications for retransplantation and hepatic artery thrombosis, 20%. Six of 25 patients who received a first retransplantation and 2 of 5 who received a second retransplantation died. The most frequent cause of death was multiorgans failure. The survivals at 1 and 5 years were 82% and 76% for children receiving a first retransplantation, and 60% at 1 and 5 years for those who received a second retransplantation. CONCLUSIONS Organ failure after liver transplantation was a common event in pediatric transplantation. Survival was similar between patients transplanted once and those who received one retransplantation. Survival decreased among patients who received a third graft but was maintained at 60%, which is better than most published results for first retransplanted patients. Retransplantation is a valid option with good results for selected pediatric cases.

Abstract
Hurler's syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I-H), is a rare condition inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. It is caused by a deficiency in alpha-L-iduronidase, an enzyme that participates in the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) heparin sulphate and dermatan sulphate. Children with Hurler's syndrome appear nearly normal at birth but, left untreated, show a progressive mental and physical deterioration caused by a build-up of GAGs in all organs of the body. Death is often caused by cardiac or respiratory failure and usually occurs before the second decade of life. In recent years, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has been employed in the management of patients with Hurler's syndrome. However, the dental findings observed in these cases have not previously been reported in the dental literature. Here we report a patient aged 11 years and 6 months, presented to a Specialist Paediatric Dentistry Unit, who was successfully treated by BMT at 18 months of age.

Abstract
The chance discovery of a foreign object embedded in a tooth is uncommon, and requires radiographic examination to determine the composition and location of the object. The authors describe the case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with a staple lodged in the root canal of the maxillary left permanent central incisor. This staple was localized using parallax techniques and successfully removed from the canal. The radiographic techniques of localization and possible methods of removal of foreign bodies are discussed.

Abstract
Living related living transplantation (LRLT) has opened new possibilities for planning transplantation in better conditions for children with emergency situations and chronic liver diseases. Since we began the LRLT program in 1999, we have performed 57 pediatric liver transplants, 17 (29.8%) using living related donors (LRD). The aim of this study was to analyze the reasons why LRD were discarded as a therapeutic option. All pediatric patients were prospectively included in our Microsoft Excel database that was reviewed for obtaining information about causes why the LRLT could not be done. LRLT was proposed in 28 cases and performed in 17 (60.7%). The reasons for LRD rejection were: parent's fear of surgical complications in four cases; drug abuse in two; a mother without family support; medical reasons in two; and only one, due to anatomical reasons and in one case, cadaveric graft transplantation was performed while completing the father's evaluation. From these eleven cases, the indications for liver transplant were acute liver failure (ALF) in seven, biliary atresia in three, and Alagille syndrome in one. Nine were transplanted with cadaveric organs, but two patients with ALF died awaiting a liver. Efforts should be made to clarify the advantages and the disadvantages of LRD in each case, allowing parents to make a free, well-informed decision.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is the only treatment for patients with terminal acute and chronic diseases. Liver transplantation was started in Chile in 1985; our pediatric program began in 1993. The aim of this paper work was to present our experience from 1993 through 2004. One hundred and thirty two orthotopic liver transplants (OLT) were performed in children of mean age 5 years and median age 4 years (8 months to 15 years). The most frequent indications were biliary atresia, (43.1%) and acute liver failure (ALF; 20.4%), whose frequent cause was unknown but viral hepatitis A was the second one. A complete liver was transplanted in 59 patients, reduced in 39, split in one, and as an auxiliary liver in another one. Living related liver transplantation was performed in 32 cases (24.2%), of which thirty included segments II and III, and two, a right liver. A terminal arterial anastomosis was performed in 102 (77.2%) recipients and a graft interposition in 32 patients (24.2%). In 16 cases, biliary reconstruction was performed through an enterobiliary anastomosis. Immunosuppression included cyclosporine (Neoral), steroids, and azathioprine with conversion to tacrolimus (Prograf) as indicated. Rejection episodes, which were always biopsy-proven, were treated either with methylprednisolone or with antibodies. Biliary complications were the most frequent (21.4%) and the second cause was vascular complications (13%). Sixty-six patients suffered an acute rejection episode. Actuarial graft survival was 81.3% at 1 year and 72% at 5 years, while actuarial graft survival for ALF was 75.9% at 1 year and 67.8% at 5 years. Our results are comparable to those reported by most international groups.

Abstract
Different ways have been suggested to expand donor numbers for liver transplantation. Transplantation using ABO-incompatible hepatic grafts has recently been a controversial issue due to the high risk of hyperacute rejection mediated by preformed anti-ABO antibodies. We report three patients with acute liver failure who were transplanted with ABO-incompatible livers: A to O in two patients and A to B in one case. We used pre- and posttransplant total plasma exchange, splenectomy, and triple immunosuppression. All three patients are alive; one graft was lost, probably secondary to thrombotic microangiopathy with low isohemagglutinin titers of 1:8. One patient developed acute cellular rejection that was reversed with a bolus of methylprednisolone. No antibody-mediated rejection occurred. Financial and infectious considerations have to be considered. In our series, the final liver transplantation cost was higher than average for acute liver failure. Plasmapheresis has the highest cost of all the additional procedures. ABO-incompatible liver transplantation, because of the splenectomy it requires, has been associated with more infections due to encapsulated organisms. However, with splenectomy in our three patients, none had infections due to these bacteria. In our country, we do not consider ABO-incompatible liver transplantation as a first-line option, except for highly selected patients.

Abstract
Hyperimmunoglobulinemia E recurrent infection syndrome (also known as Job's syndrome) is a rare multi-system primary immunological disorder in which non-immunological abnormalities of the dentition, bones and connective tissue are also seen. A previous study has reported the occurrence of dental abnormalities in three-quarters of individuals diagnosed as suffering from this condition. The present authors report the case of a boy whose prolonged retention of the primary dentition was associated with delayed eruption of permanent teeth. They emphasize the need for early intervention in order to help minimize later orthodontic problems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to examine the attitudes of Specialists in Paediatric Dentistry (SPDs) practising in the UK towards the creation of a specialty of Special Care Dentistry (SCD). DESIGN Data were collected by postal questionnaire. Sample and methods. Two hundred and eleven dentists whose names were entered on the General Dental Council's Specialist List in Paediatric Dentistry, and who were resident and practising in the UK, were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of both open and closed questions. RESULTS Questionnaires were returned by 167 (79.2%) of the eligible SPDs. One hundred and sixty respondents (95.8%) expressed an opinion in relation to the creation of a specialty of SCD. One hundred and forty-three respondents (85.6%) stated that they supported such a proposal. However, slightly fewer (n = 149) respondents were prepared to indicate what they considered to be the remit of the proposed specialty. Ninety-two respondents (55.1%) considered that it should be restricted to the provision of specialist care for adults with 'special needs'; the remaining 57 respondents felt that it should provide specialist care across the entire age spectrum. CONCLUSIONS Among SPDs, there is overwhelming support for the creation of a specialty of SCD, the majority view being that this should be dedicated to the provision of specialist care for adults with 'special needs'.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a severe, life-threatening condition associated with a high mortality rate. The objective of this study is to present the experience of a Chilean liver transplant program with orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for ALF. All patients with the diagnosis of ALF evaluated in our program between January 1995 and May 2003 were included in the analyses of etiology and outcomes. Candidates for OLT activated on a national waiting list were transplanted with cadaveric or living-related donor (LRD) organs. Twenty-seven patients age 1 to 19 years (median, 7.4 years) were transplanted at a median weight of 30.7 kg including 17 cadaveric and 10 with LRD livers. Most frequent etiologies were hepatitis A in 10 cases (37%) and unknown in 12 (48.1%). One donor experienced superficial phlebitis. Four patients were retransplanted (14.8%). Twenty patients are alive with 1- and 5-year survival rates of 74.1% At a median follow up of 34 months (range = 2 to 120). Seven patients died due to sepsis, multiorganic failure, graft primary nonfunction, intracranial hemorrhage, and intraoperative cardiac arrest. This experience revealed results comparable to international reports, allowing survival of patients destined to die.

Abstract
Our liver transplant program was started in 1993 in a private clinic and a public hospital. Thereafter, a rapid increase in adults and pediatric candidates for this therapeutic option lead to this analysis of results in 165 orthotopic liver transplants (OLT) in 143 patients between November 1993 and December 2002. Seventy-four OLT were performed in 66 adult patients and 91 in the pediatric group. Liver grafts came from cadaveric donors in 145 cases (74 adults and 71 children). The technique of living-related donor was utilized in 20 pediatric cases. Main indications for OLT in the adult group were HCV cirrhosis, primary biliary cirrhosis; biliary atresia and acute liver failure were the indications in pediatric patients. Retransplantation was needed for 23 patients, including 9 adults and 14 children. The most frequent causes of death were sepsis, graft primary nonfunction, and vascular complications. Actuarial survivals at 1 and 5 years were 80.7% and 72.6% for the adult group and 82% and 74.8% for the pediatric group, respectively. Our results are comparable to those published by large, experienced, international centers, with much better financial support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to examine the attitudes and practices of Specialists in Paediatric Dentistry practising in the United Kingdom in relation to vital pulpotomy in the primary dentition. DESIGN Data were collected by postal questionnaire. SAMPLE AND METHODS All dentists whose names were entered on the General Dental Council's Specialist List in Paediatric Dentistry, and who were resident and practising in the United Kingdom, were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of nine questions. RESULTS Questionnaires were returned by 184 (86.8%) of the eligible Specialists in Paediatric Dentistry. These yielded a sample group of 179 Specialists practising the primary vital pulpotomy technique. The most commonly used medicament was formocresol, with a 1 : 5 dilution being used by 66.5% of the sample. More than half (54.2%) of the Specialists practising the technique expressed concern regarding their preferred medicament. Without exception, their concerns related to the potential adverse effects of formocresol and formaldehyde. Seventy-five respondents (41.9% of the sample) were considering changing their technique. One hundred and thirty-seven Specialists stated that they routinely took preoperative radiographs, while postoperative radiographs were routinely taken by 107 Specialists (76.5% and 59.8% of the sample, respectively). Rubber dam isolation was used by 62.6% of the sample. CONCLUSIONS The majority of Specialists are adhering to the UK national clinical guideline for pulp treatment of the primary dentition. However, significant numbers are considering changing their chosen technique. There is a lack of consensus on the use of pre- and postoperative radiographs; specific guidance with respect to their use is required.
