Lenses in laparoscopes, arthroscopes, and laryngoscopes fog during closed body surgery due to humidity from bodily fluids and differences between body and operating room temperatures.1,2 Surgeons must repeatedly remove, clean, and reinsert scopes that are obscured by fog. As a result, surgery duration, infection risks, and scarring from air exposure increase.3,4 Current methods to address fogging introduce other complications. Acidic alcohol-based coatings scar tissue and quickly evaporate, and heated lenses require reheating every 5 to 20 minutes.3,4 This paper presents a new super-hydrophilic, biocompatible, non-toxic, pH neutral (7.2-7.4), and long-lasting anti-fog coating called VitreOx™.5-7 VitreOx™ can be used wet or dry, without use of alcohol, heat, or fluid evacuation. When applied as a liquid, it easily espouses lenses’ surfaces and edges, and dries within seconds to form a permanently super-hydrophilic surface on silica and polymer surfaces. VitreOx™ avoids current shortfalls by eliminating frequent reapplications, avoiding reapplication for surgeries lasting up to 72 hours.
VitreOx™'s anti-fog properties can be explained by nucleation and growth theory for thin films condensation: 1) 3-D droplets, resulting in fogging; 2) 2-D sheets resulting in a flat transparent film; or 3) mixed 3-D on 2-D, resulting in optical distortion. On hydrophobic surfaces (e.g. lenses), condensation occurs with fogging via spherical 3-D droplets, as in the Volmer-Weber model. 3-D droplets scatter light in all directions through refraction yielding opaque or translucent films (fog). VitreOx™ applied to hydrophobic lenses renders them super-hydrophilic. Similar to the 2-D Frank Van-der-Merwe Growth Mode, condensation with uniform wetting yields transparent 2-D films that do not distort optical images transmission.
In vitro and in vivo studies of VitreOx™ were conducted to measure performance and duration of anti-fog effectiveness and bio-compatibility. In vitro tests spanned from 3 to 72 hours over a 3-year range. Side-by-side in vivo gastro-endoscopies were conducted on Yucatan™ swine for 90 minutes using 1) VitreOx™, 2) bare lens, and 3) Covidien Clearify™ surfactant with warmer. VitreOx™ coated lenses did not fog nor need reapplication for 90 minutes, while Covidien Clearify™ lasted 38 minutes without fogging, requiring retreatment. No adverse reaction was observed on swines exposed toVitreOx™, in surgery and 12 months thereafter.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) experienced in childhood or adolescence is often a chronic disorder with high subjective distress and impairment of family and social functioning. An early comprehensive intervention schedule can have a profound effect on outcome in later years. The clinical manifestations of OCD among children and adolescents do not seem to be inherently different from those of adult patients. In younger subjects, the clinical picture tends to be dominated by compulsions, and insight can be poor, with little recognition of the symptoms as a problem.There is often a shift in symptoms over time, with some symptoms being replaced by others, while in adults, the core obsessions and compulsions tend to be more stable. In addition to depression and anxiety disorders, the spectrum of comorbid psychopathology seen in pediatric OCD patients includes tic, disruptive behavior, and specific developmental disorders. The treatment of childhood and adolescent OCD relies on cognitive-behavioral techniques of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapeutic interventions similar to those recommended in adults. The efficacy of exposure and response prevention in pediatric OCD has been shown in numerous open studies, and four controlled trials. Pharmacotherapy relies on serotonergic medication, and all have been demonstrated to be significantly superior to placebo, as reported in a recently published meta-analysis. Current concerns with the use of SSRIs in children and adolescents were explored as regards OCD and anxiety disorders, and there is no evidence for an increase in suicide or related behaviors.

We present an exploration of the integrated stellar populations of early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the ATLAS3D survey. We use two approaches: firstly the application of line-indices interpreted through single stellar population (SSP) models, which provide a single value of age, metallicity and abundance ratio. And secondly, by fitting a linear combination of SSP spectra to our data, smoothly weighted in the free parameters of age and metallicity, thereby inferring a star-formation history of these galaxies. Despite the significant differences in these approaches, we obtain generally consistent results, such that galaxies that are more massive appear older with enhanced abundance ratios using line indices, and have shorter star-formation histories weighted to early times. We highlight two limitations of the index-SSP approach. Firstly the SSP-equivalent ages belie the fact that ETGs are overwhelmingly composed of ancient stars. Secondly, the young stellar contributions implied in our star formation histories are required to obtain realistic UV-optical colours. We remark that, even fitting solar-abundance models, we can recover a star-formation duration that correlates with the measured alpha-enhancement, in agreement with other recent work.

Over the last 25 years, the perception of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has changed; where once it was seen as a rare refractory disorder, it is now viewed as a fairly prevalent, but treatable, medical condition responding to two main therapeutic strategies–serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Given the emergence of new results with SRIs, more data on the role of augmentation strategies with second-generation antipsychotics, and recent genetic and neuroimaging findings with potential for advancing the understanding of the pathogenesis of OCD, it was thought appropriate to revisit OCD in order to identify key developments in this field and examine how they might be translated into the clinical arena. This consensus statement is the product of the International Anxiety Disorders Conference that took place in Cape Town in February 2006, and is referred to as the Cape Town Consensus (CTC).
In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) system, OCD has been classified as an anxiety disorder. However, in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) system, OCD is separated from these conditions. This is consistent with several findings. OCD can begin before puberty, whereas other anxiety disorders, particularly generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), have a later age of onset. OCD is similarly prevalent in men and women, as opposed to depressive and anxiety disorders, which are more common in women. Pharmacologic challenges in some (but not all) studies show exacerbation of symptoms to 5-HT receptor agonists (eg, mCPP, sumatriptan), but not to other anxiogenic challenges such as yohimbine, sodium lactate, caffeine, CO2, cholecystokinin, and pentagastrin, which are known to elicit anxiety symptoms in anxiety disorders.

Recently microporous and mesoporous materials were found to be particularly suitable for a new type of applications in the mechanical field. This paper reports experimental features about the dissipative forced intrusion of water in highly hydrophobic mesoporous materials: this phenomenon can be used to develop a new type of dampers and/or actuators. Silica-based materials behavior was investigated. Among them, MCM-41 exhibit original and interesting properties towards the potential developments of dampers and appear to be of great interest for the comprehension of energy dissipation mechanisms.
