This research first evaluated the effects of urban wildland interface on reproductive biology of the Big Pine Partridge Pea, Chamaecrista keyensis, an understory herb that is endemic to Big Pine Key, Florida. I found that C. keyensis was self-compatible, but depended on bees for seed set. Furthermore, individuals of C. keyensis in urban habitats suffered higher seed predation and therefore set fewer seeds than forest interior plants. ^ I then focused on the effects of fire at different times of the year, summer (wet) and winter (dry), on the population dynamics and population viability of C. keyensis. I found that C. keyensis population recovered faster after winter burns and early summer burns (May–June) than after late summer burns (July–September) due to better survival and seedling recruitment following former fires. Fire intensity had positive effects on reproduction of C. keyensis. In contrast, no significant fire intensity effects were found on survival, growth, and seedling recruitment. This indicated that better survival and seedling recruitment following winter and early summer burns (compared with late summer burns) were due to the reproductive phenology of the plant in relation to fires rather than differences in fire intensity. Deterministic population modeling showed that time since fire significantly affected the finite population growth rates (λ). Particularly, recently burned plots had the largest λ. In addition, effects of timing of fires on λ were most pronounced the year of burn, but not the subsequent years. The elasticity analyses suggested that maximizing survival is an effective way to minimize the reduction in finite population growth rate the year of burn. Early summer fires or dry-season fires may achieve this objective. Finally, stochastic simulations indicated that the C. keyensis population had lower extinction risk and population decline probability if burned in the winter than in the late summer. A fire frequency of approximately 7 years would create the lowest extinction probability for C. keyensis. A fire management regime including a wide range of burning seasons may be essential for the continued existence of C. keyensis and other endemic species of pine rockland on Big Pine Key. ^

The use of craniofacial implants is an effective treatment for patients with deformities, burns, and cancer sequelae. The sites with the most successful implants are the auricular, nasal, and orbital regions. Furthermore, other factors can affect the implant longevity such as irradiated area, surgical technique, bone quality and quantity, macrostructure and microstructure of the implant, maintenance, and systemic factors.

As queimaduras na infância compreendem importante causa de atendimento hospitalar e internação e podem desencadear sequelas físicas e emocionais. Dependendo da gravidade e complexidade das lesões, a hospitalização da criança é prolongada para realização de tratamento adequado e ela é afastada tanto do convívio familiar como do social. O número de crianças em idade escolar que sofrem queimaduras, e consequentemente interrompem as atividades escolares, por períodos curtos ou até as abandonam, é significativo, tornando digno de preocupação o processo de reinserção escolar. Este estudo teve como objetivo interpretar os significados do processo de reinserção escolar de crianças sobreviventes de queimaduras. Realizou-se uma pesquisa com abordagem metodológica qualitativa, fundamentada no referencial teórico da Antropologia Interpretativa e no método etnográfico. Após a aprovação do estudo pelos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos das instituições envolvidas, convidaram-se crianças sobreviventes de queimaduras em seguimento em um hospital-escola do interior paulista. Coletaram-se dados no hospital, no domicílio e na escola das crianças, de janeiro de 2012 a dezembro de 2013, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade audiogravadas e observação participante, complementadas pelo diário de campo. Participaram da pesquisa 14 crianças e os atores sociais envolvidos neste processo, como familiares, profissionais de saúde, professores, vizinha e amigo, totalizando 57 participantes. A coleta e análise dos dados ocorreram concomitantemente, e esta última seguiu os pressupostos da análise temática indutiva. Identificaram-se códigos, os quais, posteriormente, embasaram a construção das duas unidades de sentidos: \"Fatos e fatores prévios ao retorno escolar\" e \"A volta à escola\". A partir destas, identificou-se o núcleo temático, \"O olho puxa essas coisas. A gente olha mesmo\": enxergando o outro como diferente, o qual apresenta a explicação compreensiva do processo de reinserção escolar, fornecendo os significados da experiência. Os significados foram explicados por meio dos conceitos antropológicos de estigma, identidade e corporeidade. O culto ao corpo presente no contexto cultural brasileiro foi fator intensificador do estigma sofrido pelas crianças. Identificaram-se fatores facilitadores do processo, como: dar continuidade às atividades escolares e manter contato com professores e colegas durante a hospitalização; preparar a escola para receber a criança; abordar sobre queimadura na escola para evitar curiosidade; encarar a presença da discriminação e trabalhar as diferenças. Estas estratégias fazem com que todos os envolvidos se sintam ao menos mais confortáveis durante esse difícil processo que merece atenção e envolvimento dos familiares, profissionais de saúde e equipe escolar. A partir dos resultados desta pesquisa, esperamos empoderar as crianças e seus familiares acerca da melhor maneira para lidar com as queimaduras durante a reinserção escolar e contribuir para o desenvolvimento de ações e estratégias baseadas na cultura para que este processo ocorra da forma menos traumática possível

Objective: Few data have been published regarding protein losing enteropathy in adult patients with burns. This study characterised the presence of protein-losing enteropathy in adults with burns and examined the relationship between the magnitude of bum size and the severity of protein loss. Methods: Twenty adult patients with burns (BSA 31+/-25%, range 2-80%) were studied. Fluid resuscitation was based on the Parkland's formula. Protein loss into the gastrointestinal tract was measured using faecal alpha(1)-antitrypsin (FA-1-AT) concentrations. Serial measurements of serum protein and albumin concentrations were performed. Results: Fourteen patients demonstrated elevations in FA-1-AT levels. The mean peak FA-1-AT level was 3.6+/-4.2 mg/g dry weight of stool. Two patients demonstrated elevated FA-1-AT excretion 1.5 months and 3 months after the bums. There was a good correlation between burn size and FA-1-AT excretion (R-2=0.40). Conclusions: Protein losing enteropathy was demonstrable in patients with major burns. The magnitude of this phenomenon appears to be proportional to the burns size.

This report focuses on our examination of extant data which have been sourced with respect to unintentional serious and violent injuries to males living in regional and remote Australia. Such injuries typically might be caused by, for example, transport accidents, occupational exposures and hazards, burns and so on. Thus unintentional violent incidents cause physical trauma the consequences of which can sometimes lead to chronic conditions including psychological harm or substance abuse. Additional commentary resulting from exploration, examination and analyses of secondary data is published online in complementary reports in this series.

Chlamydial infections of humans can cause blindness and infertility as a result of diseases such as keratoconjunctivitis (trachoma), urethritis and cervicitis. However, in greater than half of all chlamydial diseases in males and females there are no signs or symptoms of infection. Chlamydia trachomatis is the causative bacterial organism responsible for the global estimate of 40.6 million people currently suffering with active trachoma and for the five million new cases of sexually transmitted infections each year in the United States of America. Even though antibiotics are available to treat Chlamydia, the incidence of each of these primarily asymptomatic infections continues to increase. In this Chapter we review the current knowledge of C.trachomatis including clinicial diseases and sequelae, the chlamydial developmental cycle in vivo, immunobiology and immune responses to infections, chlamydial genomics and vaccine development.

These projects build on the research of Klaebe and Burgess into digital story-telling, specifically variable workshop scenarios, co-creative media, participatory public history, and the development of co-creative production processes for cultural institutions. The projects represented a partnership between QUT and the State Library of Queensland. The Five Senses project focused on the distributed digital storytelling workshop model and the development of audiences for digital storytelling. The team worked with regional artists whose work had been selected for inclusion in the Five Senses exhibition at the State Library of Queensland to produce stories about their work; these works were then integrated into the physical exhibition space. The Queensland Businesswomen project produced four digital stories profiling the lives of leading Queensland businesswomen. The digital story telling workshop model was disbanded and research teams worked individually with participants to create the digital stories. Academic research and oral history interviews were conducted initially to foreground these productions. This pilot led to a larger project, Business Leaders Hall of Fame, which now has a dedicated viewing room in the SLQ sponsored by an annual silver service dinner event. With the Responses to the Apology project, which stimulated similar projects in Mt Isa and Cairns, the research team worked with Indigenous facilitators, and the participants created their digital stories with assistance from these facilitators and the QUT research team using a mix of workshop and individual meetings. The research component of the work relates to the further development of co-creative production processes for cultural institutions, involving a wide range of institutional and individual partners, while authentically representing the intensely personal perspectives of each of the primary participants. The Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame was a research project that included interviews with eminent Queenslanders that produced oral history interviews and digital stories about the achievements of both Queensland personalities and businesses. This model was able to test and evaluate the use of oral history and digital storytelling for learning and community heritage purposes. Interviewees include; Sir John and Valmai Pidgeon, Joseph Saragossi, Robert Bryan, Clem Jones, Jim Kennedy, Sr Angela Mary, Castelmaine Perkins, Burns and Philp, Qantas, Don Argus & Steve Irwin All digital stories, oral history interviews and transcripts were accessioned into the library collection – an international first for digital stories. Two publications in refereed journals have resulted, and the digital stories are stored in the SLQ permanent collection for the benefit of national and international scholars and the general public.
