Abstract:

AbstractThis paper explores what happens when artists fail to execute their goals. I argue that taxonomies of failure in general, and of failed-art in particular, should focus on the attempts which generate the failed-entity, and that to do this they must be sensitive to an attempt’s orientation. This account of failed-attempts delivers three important new insights into artistic practice: (1) there can be no accidental art, only deliberate and incidental art; (2) art’s intention-dependence entails the possibility of performative failure, but not of failed-art; and (3) art’s intention-dependence is perfectly compatible with the role that luck plays in artistic creation.

Abstract:

PurposeMechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a highly effective therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, complete recanalization of the occluded vessel cannot be achieved in all patients, leading to poor clinical outcome. We analyzed the reasons for failed recanalization to help direct future improvements in therapy.Methods648 consecutive stroke patients with LVO and an MT attempt were retrospectively analyzed for none or minimal recanalization, assessed according to the Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score (0/1). Procedural parameters were evaluated in a standardized approach. Among other variables, number of retrieval attempts, devices, duration of the intervention, and rescue methods were analyzed.ResultsTICI 0/1 was observed in 72/648 patients (11%). In these patients, the thrombus could not be reached in 21% (n=15/72), was reached but not passed in 21% (n=15/72), and was reached and passed in 58% (n=42/72). Only a minor degree of initial recanalization was achieved in 19% (n=8/42) of patients with a reached occlusion during the course of the intervention. Furthermore, a higher number of passes with a single retriever device led to significant prolongation of the intervention. Therefore, major reasons for failed endovascular recanalization were difficult anatomical access and hard or resistant occlusions that might reflect hard thrombi or pre-existing atherosclerotic stenosis. Procedural complications such as dissection or perforation played a minor role.ConclusionIn stroke patients with failed MT attempts, approximately 60% of occlusions can be passed. In such cases, rescue therapy might be considered to improve recanalization and clinical outcome. Further development of access devices might help in the remaining cases where the microcatheter could not be manipulated to or through the occlusion.

Abstract:

We describe a case with complex Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) which persisted despite initial two failed surgical attempts to appose the ocular tissues. However, over time, tissue alignment was obtained spontaneously. A 60-year-old woman, operated trabeculectomy, had a total DMD intraoperatively during a complicated cataract surgery. Initial attempt to DM repositioning with intracameral air injection failed. Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) showed detachment of both DM and pre-Descemet’s layer (PDL). After consultation with a corneal surgeon, patient was again attempted for Intra-operative Optical Coherence Tomography (iOCT)-guided settlement of DMD with intracameral air which again failed. So, the patient was registered for lamellar corneal transplant, but at 3 months follow-up, DM had spontaneously attached, confirmed on ASOCT. This case shows for the first time that even complex DMDs involving PDL, can spontaneously appose despite failed surgical interventions.

Abstract:

Mechanical, intracorporeal and extracorporeal lithotripsy were used in the treatment of common bile duct lithiasis in a series of 80 patients in whom initial extraction attempts with the Dormia basket and balloon catheter failed. Mechanical lithotripsy was performed in 74 cases and was successful in 38 (51.3%). Among the 36 patients with failure of mechanical lithotripsy, five had an initial attempt at stone dissolution w1th methyl terr-butyl ether (MTBE) infused through a nasobiliary stent. This was successful in four cases; the stones did not disappear completely - however, they were smaller and easier to extract. Of the remaining 32 patients who failed mechanical lithotripsy, two underwent success[, l surgical stone extraction with no further attempts at nonoperative treatment and 30 underwent complementary shock wave lithotripsy. Extracorporeal lithotripsy was used in 19 of these patients. The intracorporeal lithotripsy group of21 patients comprised 11 with failed mechanical lithotripsy, six in whom no ocher treatment was attempted and four in whom extracorporeal lithotripsy had failed. Extracorporeal lithotripsy was successful in 15 cases (79%) and intracorporeal lithotripsy in 19 (90%). There were four treatment failures, with one patient death due to cholangitis and respiratory failure. In summary, mechanical lithotripsy is an effective and safe treatment modality but has a high failure rate. Extracorporeal lithotripsy is useful and should he attempted where available, but is not always successful. Intracorporeal lithotripsy is very efficient but requires either the transpapillary route, which is technically difficult, or the transhepatic route which carries associated complications.

Abstract:

Introduction: The present study was an attempt to evaluate the role of ultrasonography on decreasing the number of attempts, failed punctures, time needed to perform the procedure and patients’ pain. Methods: This study is a prospective case-control. Patients were divided in two groups randomly. A two-dimensional probe was used to localize intervertebral space in the ultrasound guidance (US group). In manual palpation (MP group) however, insertion level was determined using the standard technique by manual palpation. The number of attempts (needle insertion) required for a successful tap and successful/unsuccessful attempts were considered as the primary outcome measures. Results: Male patients with an average age of 44.08±15.83 years accounted for 60% (30 individuals) of the population. Success rate was 92% in the US group and 34% in the MP group (P<0.001). It took 79.64± 19.91 and 85.4±11.62 minutes to identify the proper location in US and MP groups respectively (P=0.21). In the first attempt, it took 6.33±0.95 and 6.87±0.7 minutes to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in US and MP groups respectively (P=0.02). Average time taken to localize the sites in two attempts were 8.28±2.44 and 13.17±3.32 in US and MP groups respectively (P<0.001). Average number of attempts made in the US and MP groups were 1.08±0.27 and 1.64±0.66 (P<0.001) respectively. Conclusion: Ultrasonography has reduced the time needed for locating puncture to collect CSF, pain management in patients, determining the number of attempts, and defining the risk of traumatic puncture. Moreover, this technique is characterized by a higher success rate. Using ultrasonography in obese patients and people with lumbar problems is more important.

Abstract:

Background: To date, little is known about the effect of supplements on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The data on this matter is limited to measuring the overall pregnancy rate on a population of women who took a specific supplement, and not on IVF patients. Objectives: To demonstrate the positive role of an investigated supplement in the outcome of patients undergoing IVF. Method: 18 women undergoing IVF treatment were placed on a proprietary combination of vitamins and antioxidants designed to encourage blood flow and improve egg quality. The women were selected for this protocol mostly due to prior poor egg quality and/or large amount of embryo fragmentation .The women took supplementation twice daily for 4–12 weeks prior to transfer. The charts of the patients who used the supplements were used to obtain data. Previous failed IVF was defined as negative pregnancy. Successful IVF outcome was determined by positive chemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy after one attempt. Range and mean was calculated for patient's age and number of failed previous IVF attempts. The previous IVF attempts were performed in different centers without using this supplement in all patients. Results: Eighteen patients used the supplement before and during their IVF cycles. Patient's age ranged from 28 to 44 with mean of 36.4 years. They had on average, 2 prior failed IVF attempts. Seventeen of 18 patients had successful IVF outcome. The failed patient required frozen testicular extraction of sperm (TESE), prior to IVF. Summary: Seventeen of 18 patients who used our supplements had successful IVF. These patients failed an average of 2 previous IVF attempts without using our supplements. Conclusion: Usage of our supplements is associated with improved rates of success in patients undergoing IVF with a history of prior failed IVF attempts. Larger studies need to be conducted.

Abstract:

Almost half a century passed between the discovery of superconductivity by Kamerlingh Onnes and the theoretical explanation of the phenomenon by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer. During the intervening years the brightest minds in theoretical physics tried and failed to develop a microscopic understanding of the effect. A summary of some of those unsuccessful attempts to understand superconductivity not only demonstrates the extraordinary achievement made by formulating the BCS theory, but also illustrates that mistakes are a natural and healthy part of scientific discourse, and that inapplicable, even incorrect theories can turn out to be interesting and inspiring.

Abstract:

What factors explain variation in the tenure of political leaders who survive a coup d’état? Our main hypothesis is that leaders who survive a coup attempt take the opportunity to purge known and potential rivals while also deterring future coup conspirators. The severity of the purge is also hypothesized to be positively associated with longer post-coup tenures, as potential rivals are eliminated or deterred from future coup attempts. After introducing the topic of the failed coup, and presenting the dataset we developed to measure the level of punishment associated with a failed coup attempt, we offer an analysis of the effect of purges on the survival time of leaders who survive a coup attempt. We find that, conditional on regime type, purging has an effect on lengthening leader tenure, with more severe purges being associated with longer authoritarian tenures. Democratic leaders gain no advantage. Changes in military expenditures do not increase subsequent tenure. We conclude with a discussion of the results as well as what a broader dataset might reveal.

Abstract:

Background The authors determined the efficacy of using the intubating laryngeal mask airway Fastrach (ILM) as a ventilatory device and aid to flexible lightwand-guided tracheal intubation in patients with unpredicted failed laryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation when managed by experienced anesthetists. Methods During a 27-month period, 16 experienced anesthetists agreed to use the ILM as an airway device and airway intubator in patients (aged > 18 yr) with predicted normal airways who were subsequently found to be difficult to intubate (three failed attempts at laryngoscopy). Intubation via the ILM was performed with a flexible lightwand. The number of attempts at ILM placement, the number of adjusting maneuvers, the number of attempts at tracheal intubation via the ILM,and any episodes of hypoxia (oxygen saturation < 90%) were recorded. Results Forty-four of 11,621 patients (0.4%) met the inclusion criteria. ILM insertion and ventilation was successful at the first attempt in 40 of 44 patients (91%) and at the second attempt in 4 of 44 (9%). Flexible lightwand-guided tracheal intubation via the ILM was successful in 38 of 44 patients (86%) at the first attempt, 3 of 44 (7%) at the second attempt, 2 of 44 (5%) at the third to fifth attempts, and failed in 1 of 44 (2%). The median number of adjusting maneuvers before successful intubation was 1 (range, 0-4). Hypoxia occurred in 5 patients before ILM insertion (range, 52-82%), but none after ILM insertion. No patient developed hypoxia during or after intubation via the ILM. Conclusion The ILM is an effective ventilatory device and aid to flexible lightwand-guided tracheal intubation in adult patients with predicted normal airways in whom laryngoscope-guided tracheal intubation subsequently fails when managed by experienced anesthetists.

Full text

Abstract:

First attempts are described to prepare a precursor for an all-carbon analog of indigo, the tetracyclic triene 4. Starting from indan-2-one (9) the α-methylene ketone 13 was prepared. Upon subjecting this compound to a McMurry coupling reaction, it dimerized to the bis-indene derivative 17, rather than providing the tetramethyl derivative of 4, the hydrocarbon 14. In a second approach, indan-1-one (18) was dimerized to the conjugated enedione 21 through the bis-1-indene dimer 19. All attempts to methylenate 21 failed, however. When 19 was treated with the Tebbe reagent, the dimer 23 was produced, presumably through a Cope reaction of the intermediately generated isomer 22. The bis-indene derivative 23 can be alkylated with 1,2-dibromoethane to produce a 1:1 mixture of the spiro compounds 24 and 25. Although 9 could be reductively dimerized to 30, the conversion of this olefin to 14 failed.

Abstract:

Hostile takeover attempts are considered a key external governance mechanism aimed at addressing perceived managerial underperformance in a target firm. Studies show that target chief executive officers (CEOs) are usually dismissed shortly after a takeover attempt, regardless of whether the bidder actually completes the acquisition. Yet, little is known about the investment behaviors of target CEOs who actually retain their positions in the wake of an unsuccessful hostile takeover attempt. Engaging with this underexplored governance context, we advance a behaviorally informed model of CEO investment behaviors in response to external governance as a function of the negative performance feedback event of the takeover attempt and the timing of the market’s attempt in terms of the stage of the target CEO’s tenure. Based on a matched-pair study of 71 failed takeover attempts from 1995 to 2006, we find evidence of a nonlinear relation between target CEO tenure and degree of uncertainty of expected returns in subsequent strategic investments in the wake of a failed hostile takeover attempt. We discuss the implications for research on external governance, behavioral agency, and executives’ influences on firm processes and outcomes.

Abstract:

BackgroundThis study employed an alternative method for assessing serotonergic function to further evaluate our finding that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) in depressed suicide attempters with a lifetime history of higher lethality suicide attempts is significantly lower compared to depressed patients who have a history of low lethality suicide attempts.MethodWe used dl-fenfluramine (60 mg) as a neuroendocrine probe to examine the serotonin system in 41 in-patients with a DSM–III–R major depressive episode, divided into two groups on the basis of a lifetime history of high or low lethality suicide attempts. Fenfluramine challenge test outcome was defined as the maximum prolactin response in the five hours following fenfluramine.ResultsPatients with a history of a higher lethality suicide attempt had a significantly lower prolactin response to fenfluramine, even when controlling for cortisol, age, sex, weight, comorbid cluster B personality disorder, pharmacokinetic and menstrual cycle effects.ConclusionsThe data provide further support for the hypothesis that serotonin dysfunction is associated with more lethal suicide attempts, and suggests that higher lethality suicide attempters or failed suicides resemble completed suicides both behaviourally and biochemically.

Abstract:

Background The authors' hypothesis was that a video-assisted technique should speed resident skill acquisition for flexible fiberoptic oral tracheal intubation (FI) of pediatric patients because the attending anesthesiologist can provide targeted instruction when sharing the view of the airway as the resident attempts intubation. Methods Twenty Clinical Anesthesia year 2 residents, novices in pediatric FI, were randomly assigned to either the traditional group (traditional eyepiece FI) or the video group (video-assisted FI). One of two attending anesthesiologists supervised each resident during FI of 15 healthy children, aged 1-6 yr. The time from mask removal to confirmation of endotracheal tube placement by end-tidal carbon dioxide detection was recorded. Intubation attempts were limited to 3 min; up to three attempts were allowed. The primary outcome measure, time to success or failure, was compared between groups. Failure rate and number of attempts were also compared between groups. Results Three hundred patient intubations were attempted; eight failed. On average, the residents in the video group were faster, were three times more likely to successfully intubate at any given time during an attempt, and required fewer attempts per patient compared to those in the traditional group. Conclusions The video system seems to be superior for teaching residents fiberoptic intubation in children.

Abstract:

Given the high costs of avian obligate brood parasitism, host individuals are selected to reject parasitic eggs they recognize as foreign. We show that rejection may not necessarily follow egg discrimination when selective removal of the parasitic egg is difficult. We studied egg rejection behaviour in a small host of the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus , the eastern olivaceous warbler Hippolais pallida , by experimental parasitism with model and real non-mimetic cuckoo eggs and video recordings of host behaviour. Hosts pecked 87 per cent (20 out of 23) of the model eggs but eventually accepted 43.5 per cent (10 out of 23) of them. A similar pattern was found for real cuckoo eggs, which were all pecked, but as many as 47 per cent (7 out of 15) of them were accepted. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a cuckoo host discriminating against real parasitic eggs but often accepting them. Our results also show that in host species experiencing difficulties in performing puncture ejection, non-mimetic cuckoo eggs may avoid rejection by means of their unusually high structural strength.
