Joint Enrollment Report, 2009

The Iowa Department of Education collects information on joint enrollment in Iowa’s 15 community colleges. Jointly enrolled students are high school students enrolled in community college credit coursework. Most jointly enrolled students enroll through Senior Year Plus programs such as PSEO (Postsecondary Enrollment Options) and concurrent enrollment. Others enroll independently by paying tuition or enrolling in courses delivered through contractual agreements that do not meet the definition of concurrent enrollment. For more information about Senior Year Plus programs, please refer to the department’s website. This report consists of fiscal year and trend data on joint enrollment including headcount enrollment, credit hours, student demographics, and enrollment by program type and offering arrangement. All data included in this report is taken from the Community College Management Information System (MIS) and confirmed by each college, unless otherwise noted.

Epidemiology and new developments in the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection.

Although prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare event after arthroplasty, it represents a significant complication that is associated with high morbidity, need for complex treatment, and substantial healthcare costs. An accurate and rapid diagnosis of PJI is crucial for treatment success. Current diagnostic methods in PJI are insufficient with 10-30% false-negative cultures. Consequently, there is a need for research and development into new methods aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy and speed of detection. In this article, we review available conventional diagnostic methods for the diagnosis of PJI (laboratory markers, histopathology, synovial fluid and periprosthetic tissue cultures), new diagnostic methods (sonication of implants, specific and multiplex PCR, mass spectrometry) and innovative techniques under development (new laboratory markers, microcalorimetry, electrical method, reverse transcription [RT]-PCR, fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH], biofilm microscopy, microarray identification, and serological tests). The results of highly sensitive diagnostic techniques with unknown specificity should be interpreted with caution. The organism identified by a new method may represent a real pathogen that was unrecognized by conventional diagnostic methods or contamination during specimen sampling, transportation, or processing. For accurate interpretation, additional studies are needed, which would evaluate the long-term outcome (usually >2 years) with or without antimicrobial treatment. It is expected that new rapid, accurate, and fully automatic diagnostic tests will be developed soon.

Ponctions et infiltrations articulaires [Arthrocentesis and joint infiltration]

Cet article se veut être un condensé des bases nécessaires à la pratique d'une ponction et, ou infiltration articulaire, des indications principales aux complications potentielles en passant par la description de la procédure et de ses contre-indications. La ponction du genou fait l'objet d'une description plus détaillée. Les données permettant de justifier une façon particulière de procéder ont spécifiquement été recherchées dans la littérature (Cochrane et Medline, termes de recherche : arthrocentesis ; joint aspiration). Le détail de ces données, comme par exemple le résultat d'études, ne trouve pas sa place dans ce résumé mais fait l'objet d'une publication à part. What should be known in order to practice safely a joint aspiration and/or infiltration is summarized in the following article. This summary includes various aspects, such as the indications and contraindications, the procedure itself, and the possible complications. The arthrocentesis of the knee is described in more details. Data in support of a specific modus operandi have been searched for in Cochrane and Pubmed (key words: arthrocentesis, joint aspiration). Only the conclusions of this research are exposed in this summary. A more comprehensive article will be published

Corridor Management Pilot Projects, 2004

Managing existing and newly constructed highway corridors has recently become a significant concern in many states, including Iowa. As urban land and land on the urban fringe develops, there is pressure to add features such as commercial driveways, at-grade public road intersections, and traffic signals to arterial highway routes that should primarily serve high-speed traffic. This diminishes the speed and traffic capacity of such roadways and can also cause significant safety issues. if mobility and safety are diminished, the value of the highway investment is diminished. Since a major highway corridor improvement may cost tens of millions of dollars or more, corridor management is as critical to preserving that investment as is more "hard side" management practices such as pavement or bridge management. Corridor management is a process that applies access management principles to highway corridors in an attempt to balance the competing needs of traffic service, safety, and support for land development. This project helped to identify routes that should be given high priority for corridor management. The pilot study in the form of two corridor management case studies provides an analytical process that can be replicated along the other Iowa commuting corridors using commonly available transportation and land use data resources. It also offers a general set of guidelines for the Iowa Department of Transportation to use in the development of its own comprehensive corridor management program.

05036-013 Joint Drainage District 1-10 Fnial Report

Install new tile system to eliminate the use of 20 agricultural drainage wells (ADW) that have been ruled by EPA to be "vunerable to spills from manure lagoons, direct discharges from septic tanks and accidental releases of materails used in farming". The project includes a tile system that will provide an outlet for all the tile connected to the ADWs and close all 20 ADWs in the drainage district. The pipe ranges in size from 42" to 8" in diameter and approximately 48,000 lineal feet to be installed.
