Associations of region-specific foot pain and foot biomechanics: the framingham foot study
BACKGROUND. Specific regions of the foot are responsible for the gait tasks of weight acceptance, single-limb support, and forward propulsion. With region foot pain, gait abnormalities may arise and affect the plantar pressure and force pattern utilized. Therefore, this study’s purpose was to evaluate plantar pressure and force pattern differences between adults with and without region-specific foot pain. METHODS. Plantar pressure and force data were collected on Framingham Foot Study members while walking barefoot at a self-selected pace. Foot pain was evaluated by self-report and grouped by foot region (toe, forefoot, midfoot, or rearfoot) or regions (two or three or more regions) of pain. Unadjusted and adjusted linear regression with generalized estimating equations was used to determine associations between feet with and without foot pain. RESULTS. Individuals with distal foot (forefoot or toes) pain had similar maximum vertical forces under the pain region, while those with proximal foot (rearfoot or midfoot) pain had different maximum vertical forces compared to those without regional foot pain (referent). During walking, there were significant differences in plantar loading and propulsion ranging from 2% to 4% between those with and without regional foot pain. Significant differences in normalized maximum vertical force and plantar pressure ranged from 5.3% to 12.4% and 3.4% to 24.1%, respectively, between those with and without regional foot pain. CONCLUSIONS. Associations of regional foot pain with plantar pressure and force were different by regions of pain. Region-specific foot pain was not uniformly associated with an increase or decrease in loading and pressure patterns regions of pain

EuroSpine Task Force on Research: support for spine researchers
In recognition of the value of research to the practice of spine care, Federico Balagué and Ferran Pellisé, at the time President and Secretary for EuroSpine, asked Margareta Nordin to set up a Task Force on Research (TFR) for EuroSpine during summer 2011. The concept was to stimulate and facilitate a research community within the society, through two main functions: (1) distribution of EuroSpine funds to researchers; (2) develop and deliver research training/education courses. What has the EuroSpine TFR accomplished since its inception

Photoassociative spectroscopy at long range in ultracold strontium
We report photoassociative spectroscopy of Sr in a magneto-optical
trap operating on the intercombination line at 689 nm.
Photoassociative transitions are driven with a laser red-detuned by 600-2400
MHz from the atomic resonance at 461 nm. Photoassociation
takes place at extremely large internuclear separation, and the
photoassociative spectrum is strongly affected by relativistic retardation. A
fit of the transition frequencies determines the atomic lifetime
( ns) and resolves a discrepancy between experiment and
recent theoretical calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitte
Management of incidentally detected heart murmurs in dogs and cats
A dog or a cat has an incidentally detected heart murmur if the murmur is an unexpected discovery during a veterinary consultation that was not initially focused on the cardiovascular system. This document presents approaches for managing dogs and cats that have incidentally-detected heart murmurs, with an emphasis on murmur characteristics, signalment profiling, and multifactorial decision-making to choose an optimal course for a given patient
The Low Velocity Wind from the Circumstellar Matter Around the B9V Star sigma Herculis
We have obtained FUSE spectra of sigma Her, a nearby binary system, with a
main sequence primary, that has a Vega-like infrared excess. We observe
absorption in the excited fine structure lines C II* at 1037 A, N II* at 1085
A, and N II** at 1086 A that are blueshifted by as much as ~30 km/sec with
respect to the star. Since these features are considerably narrower than the
stellar lines and broader than interstellar features, the C II and N II are
circumstellar. We suggest that there is a radiatively driven wind, arising from
the circumstellar matter, rather than accretion as occurs around beta Pic,
because of sigma Her's high luminosity. Assuming that the gas is liberated by
collisions between parent bodies at 20 AU, the approximate distance at which
blackbody grains are in radiative equilibrium with the star and at which 3-body
orbits become unstable, we infer dM/dt ~ 6 * 10^-12 M_{sun}/yr. This wind
depletes the minimum mass of parent bodies in less than the estimated age of
the system.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, ApJ in pres
