Abstract:

“Barry Commoner's Day” represents for me a great opportunity to settle up my debt of gratitude to Barry Commoner. I thank Barry for the personal friendship he has honored me with for many years, allowing me to take advantage of his experience, his good advice, and his scientific and political teaching. He used to be an incorrigible optimist. And I hope he has not changed with the passing of the years because God knows how much environmentalists need people like him since they have a tendency to complain and foretell misfortunes. But Barry's contribution is not just optimism. His great contribution lies in his ability in matching economic and social rationality, technological progress, and the minimization of environmental impacts. That is to say, the finding that at the basis of the processes involving the destruction of natural resources, there is often an irrational behavior, which is technologically and economically disadvantageous.

Abstract:

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Barry Commoner and his colleagues in the Committee for Nuclear Information and at Washington University in St. Louis developed many of the fundamental arguments and ideas that, today, underpin and propel the grassroots movement for environmental justice, such as: moral wisdom resides in the citizenry; scientists have no special wisdom in moral matters; scientists must make alliances with citizens; pollution must be prevented because it cannot be managed; the burden of proof rests on the polluter; citizens have a right to know; the principle of precautionary action should guide our decisions; environmental impact assessments are essential; and risk assessment is political.

Abstract:

Barry Commoner had a strong positive influence on the ideas and policies of the Italian left since the 1970s. His books were translated, and he was frequently present in the environmental movement His criticism of the “Soviet model” found a favorable echo in the Italian Communist Party, whose autonomy had grown in the post-war period, and helped to include new ideas in its policy. Nowadays, left or center-left parties and alliances, often including “green” forces, lead the governments in thirteen out of fifteen countries belonging to the European Union, as a result of democratic elections. This is a result of both a strong tradition and of a renewal of strategies and programs to which Barry Commoner contributed with his ideas and his political courage.

Abstract:

My first meeting with Barry Commoner developed out of my interest in nuclear weapons testing, an issue that had engrossed Commoner and the Committee for Nuclear Information (CNI) for some time. Then, our union local worked collaboratively with the scientists on the Baby Tooth Survey which showed an association between nuclear fallout and the level of strontium-90 in children's teeth. Linking the CNI scientists and the working class in this way produced results and Commoner and his colleagues made themselves available to respond to corporate scientists on issues such as toxic workplaces exposures. We were successful in raising occupational health and safety questions because we had credible scientists on our side. Through the association with Barry, we changed the face of the workplace and thousands of people are alive today because we helped pass the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. A whole cadre of health and safety specialists came out of those efforts.

Abstract:

In the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Washington University in 1976, young researchers were studying the fact that the bacterial mutation rate was higher in the Ames test after the addition of liver microsomes. The effect was due to contaminants present in beef extract and in fried hamburgers as well. The communication of these results was followed by a tremendous popular and press response. The fact that potent mutagens were present in cooked meat raised the possibility that they could play a role in the induction of cancer. This prompted greater scientific interest on the topic increasing scientific articles from a few to several hundred per year. The original observation was then forgotten and after twenty years heterocyclic amines, formed in hamburgers during frying, are known to be involved in the induction of the most common human cancers.

Abstract:

Barry Commoner's eightieth birthday is an occasion to look at the phenomenon of junk corporate science, which must be viewed in the context of the power game. Bought-and-paid-for scientists are instruments of corporate power used in the pursuit of profits to ward off the mobilization of the citizenry and the application of regulatory health and safety laws. This is the real junk science whose many examples illustrate the intensity and aggressiveness of the corporate campaign. To better know it when we face it, we have identified specific mechanisms that corporations use to deliver their commercial science: the media, politicians by campaign financing, the colleges and universities, obstruction of litigation (including SLAPP suits), corporate front groups, and such trade agreements as GATT and NAFTA. We need community-based scientific, engineering, and civic institutions to develop intelligent and honest research and to wisely apply scientific knowledge. Barry Commoner has helped set the standard for such sound science.

Abstract:

The environmental movement has stood out compared to other movements through its future-oriented pessimism: dreams of a better or utopian future have been less important as a mobilizing tool than fear of future catastrophes. Apocalyptic images of future catastrophes still dominate much of environmentalist discourse. Melting polar caps, draughts, hurricanes, floods, and growing chaos are regularly invoked by activists as well as establishment figures. This apocalyptic discourse has, however, also been challenged—not only by a future-oriented optimism gaining ground among established environmental organizations, but also by the rise of what we call a postapocalyptic environmentalism based on the experience of irreversible or unavoidable loss. This discourse, often referring to the Global South, where communities are destroyed and populations displaced because of environmental destruction, is neither nourished by a strong sense of hope, nor of a future disaster, but a sense that the catastrophe is already ongoing. Taking our point of departure in the “environmentalist classics” by Rachel Carson and Barry Commoner, we delineate the contours of apocalyptic discourses in environmentalism and discuss how disillusionment with the institutions of climate governance has fed into increasing criticism of the apocalyptic imagery. We then turn to exploring the notion of postapocalyptic politics by focusing on how postapocalyptic narratives—including the utopias they bring into play, their relation to time–space, and how they construct collective identity—are deployed in political mobilizations. We focus on two cases of climate activism—the Dark Mountain project and the International Tribunal for the Rights of Nature—and argue that mobilizations based on accepting loss are possible through what we call the paradox of hope and the paradox of justice.

Abstract:

Barry Commoner's scientific career is best characterized by his insistent commitment to holistic (as opposed to reductionist) approaches to understanding how living things function and his alertness in bringing the most modern tools from physics and chemistry to bear on the properties of living systems. The pioneering work of his laboratory on the life history of tobacco mosaic virus was widely admired. In addition, his was the first work which used a magnetic resonance technique to investigate biological phenomena. Characteristically, these studies utilized whole, living, functioning organisms. He pushed the limits of sensitivity for measuring small differences in the nitrogen isotopic composition of drainage water to investigate the relative contributions of fertilizer N to the high nitrate levels found in an agricultural watershed. While the conclusion that N applied as fertilizer was responsible for about half of the nitrate pollution initially met with fierce resistance, the methods which he conceived are now widely used. His ideas about the multiple roles of DNA in inheritance were still less warmly received. While being involved in all of this, the Barry whom many of you know best found the time and energy to be a major figure in bringing the dangers of radioactive fallout to public attention, to be a vigorous and effective opponent of the war in Vietnam and to play a leading role in establishing the environmental movement.

Abstract:

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) occurs throughout the world with a median annual incidence of 1.3 cases per population of 100 000, with men being more frequently affected than women. GBS is currently divided into the two major subtypes: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) and acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) and clinically is defined as an acute peripheral neuropathy causing limb weakness that progresses over a time period of days or, at the most, up to 4 weeks. Campylobacter jejuni, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and Mycoplasma pneumonia are commonly identified antecedent pathogens. Strong evidence now exists that axonal subtypes of Guillain-Barré syndrome is caused by antibodies to gangliosides on the axolemma that target macrophages to invade the axon at the node of Ranvier, further, macrophages infiltrate peripheral nerves and may contribute to neural damage in the GBS. This review highlights relevant recent publications, particularly on the outcome of macrophages in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Abstract:

AbstractGuillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyneuropathy characterized by rapidly progressive, essentially symmetric weakness and areflexia in a previously otherwise healthy child. It is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in children, and its reported incidence is 1 to 2/100,000 population. Prior infection is a well-established predating event in GBS. The commonly recognized variants of GBS are acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy, and Miller–Fisher syndrome. AIDP is the most prevalent form. As Guillain–Barrè syndrome represents an important differential diagnosis in infancy with pronounced and progressive hypotonia, we herein report a case of AMAN in a 5-month-old male infant without known exposure to immunomodulating factors or infections.

Abstract:

Introduction. Guillain-Barre syndrome is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in the adult population. It occurs at the rate of 0.34 to 4 per 100000 individuals. This study was conducted to determine the clinicoepidemiological profile and outcome of the patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Materials and Methods. We conducted a retrospective study of patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome, presented at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, a tertiary care centre in eastern Nepal, from January 2013 to December 2017. All patients diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome were included in this study. The handwritten case record files of the study population were retrieved from medical record section of the institute. Results. Of 31 patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome, the mean age of patients was 17±12 years. The most common presenting symptom of study population was ascending paralysis (93.5%). Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation occurred in 16.1%. The common variants are AIDP and AMAN. Respiratory tract infection (29%) was the most common antecedent event. The in-hospital mortality of Guillain-Barre syndrome was 6.45%. Conclusion. Guillain-Barre syndrome is commonly seen in the young population. The most common symptom of Guillain-Barre syndrome was ascending paralysis. The in-hospital mortality rate of patients with GBS was 6.45%.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTGuillian Barre Syndrome (GBS) is associated with cranial nerve involvement. Commonest cranial nerves involved were the facial and bulbar (IXth and Xth). Involvement of twelfth cranial nerve is rare in GBS. We present a case of GBS in a thirteen years old boy who developed severe tongue weakness and wasting at two weeks after the onset of GBS. The wasting and weakness of tongue improved at three months of follow up. Brief review of the literature about XIIth cranial nerve involvement in GBS is discussed.

ABSTRACT Among 34 Epstein-Barr virus isolates from nonimmunocompromised Chinese donors, we identified three intertypic recombinants with type 1 sequences at the EBNA2 locus and type 2 sequences at some or all of the EBNA3A, -3B, and -3C loci. These appear to have arisen from independent, evolutionarily recent recombination events; such events may be commoner in nonimmunocompromised populations than hitherto imagined.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTPosterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinicoradiologic entity commonly associated with eclampsia, septicemia, chemotherapeutic drugs etc. Concurrent occurrence of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) with PRES is a rare entity. Dysautonomia is a proposed mechanism for such occurrence. Here we present a non-diabetic, non-hypertensive 63-year-old male patient, who came with acute onset flaccid quadriparesis, developing generalized seizures, altered sensorium and raised blood pressure on fifth day of illness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain showed altered signal intensities involving the parieto-occipital areas suggestive of posterior reversible encephalopathy. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed albuminocytological dissociation, nerve conduction studies revealed demyelinating type of polyneuropathy. The patient was treated with antihypertensives and antiepileptics. After resolution of the encephalopathy, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) was given. The patient recovered gradually over few months. Our case concludes GBS as independent risk factor, for PRES may be secondary to dysautonomia and physicians should be aware of such rare coexistence so that early treatment can be done to reduce the mortality and morbidity.

Abstract:

Barry Commoner's leadership in the formation and early years of the Committee for Nuclear Information is described. The Committee's role as a pioneer in providing the public with information on nuclear questions, then the prime environmental issue requiring political action, is outlined. When it changed its name to the Committee for Environmental Information and broadened its scope, the focus continued to be on those environmental issues requiring political decisions. Although both Committees limited themselves to scientific information and did not advocate particular political solutions, they became embroiled in controversies, some of them significant for breaking through barriers of government silence and corporate misinformation.

Abstract:

Guillain-Barré Syndrome is an acquired acute autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy that commonly presents with limb weakness and occasional cranial nerve, respiratory and autonomic involvement. Although the classic description of Guillain-Barré Syndrome is that of a demyelinating neuropathy with ascending weakness, predominant bilateral finger drop as presenting feature has rarely been reported. A characteristic pattern of weakness involving the extensor components of the fingers known as “finger drop sign” has been first described to be specific in acute motor axonal neuropathy form of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in the literature. We report a case of acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy, which showed characteristic pattern of predominant finger extensor weakness, and provide a summary of all reported cases to date. While previous reports suggested that this is a sign that carries good prognosis, our case report suggested otherwise as the patient succumbed to respiratory and autonomic complications. Further studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significance of this peculiar sign.

Abstract:

Abstract Context.—Posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in patients who have undergone solid organ transplantation is thought to be mostly of host (ie, transplant recipient) origin, as opposed to being predominantly of donor origin, which is observed in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplantation. Donor-origin PTLDs reportedly follow a more indolent course than host-origin PTLDs. Objective.—To determine the origin of PTLD and its clinical implications in patients who have undergone lung transplantation. Design.—Patients' medical records were reviewed for clinical data. We performed a molecular study to determine the origin of abnormal lymphoid cells in 4 PTLD cases identified from our autopsy files. Each case underwent restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using polymerase chain reaction–based genotyping for CYP2D6. Epstein-Barr virus (latent membrane protein 1) immunostaining and polymerase chain reaction analysis were performed on PTLD-involved tissues. Results.—Three of 4 PTLD cases were of host origin, and the remaining case was of donor origin. Epstein-Barr virus was detected by immunohistochemical and polymerase chain reaction methods in all PTLD-involved tissues that were examined. There was no apparent difference in clinical manifestations between host-origin and donor-origin PTLD cases in our study. Conclusions.—The PTLDs in our patients who had undergone lung transplantation were Epstein-Barr virus–positive and mostly of host origin, without any notable clinical difference from donor-origin PTLD.

Abstract:

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is a rare Epstein-Barr virus driven lymphoproliferative disease. It most commonly presents with symptoms of lung involvement such as cough, chest tightness, and dyspnea or constitutional symptoms of weight loss, malaise, and fever. The diagnosis is obtained by biopsy and histopathology. Here we report the case of a 31-year-old male who presented with weight loss, rash, and weakness and was diagnosed with lymphomatoid granulomatosis with paraneoplastic polymyositis. We explore the relationship of Epstein-Barr virus with inflammatory myopathy and discuss paraneoplastic inflammatory myopathy.

Abstract:

Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare acute demyelinating syndrome of the peripheral nervous system that is commonly preceded by infection. Vaccinations have also been associated with an increased incidence of GBS, though the risk is low. Caution with revaccination is recommended in patients with a history of GBS. Risks of revaccination compared with the risks of influenza complications should be considered. Patients who experience GBS after vaccination have not been shown to have an increased incidence of recurrent GBS after the influenza vaccine, though evidence is limited. We report a case of recurrent GBS in a patient following the influenza vaccine.

Abstract:

Infection is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality following cardiac transplantation because of the strict immunosuppressive regimens patients follow. In the immediate postoperative phase, patients are more susceptible to infection because of interruption of their external barriers to infection. Cardiac transplant recipients are most likely to succumb to infections caused by cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and bacterial organisms, especially staphylococcus. Fungal, protozoal and herpes simplex infections are also frequently troublesome to the transplant recipient. Critical care clinicians can control the incidence of infection in the cardiac transplant population by initiating measures to maintain external barriers, monitoring the patient for early signs of infection, and instituting appropriate isolation techniques.
