    Patient satisfaction is an outcome of health services utilization; however, health services utilization can be predicated by contextual characteristics, individual characteristics, and health behaviors (Andersen, 2008). Since prostate cancer is one of the medical conditions that disproportionately affects the mortality of African American men (AAM) in North Carolina, it is imperative to evaluate the factors or combination of factors that influence patient satisfaction for AAM diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer. A modified version of Andersen's Behavioral Model for Health Services Use was used to guide this study (Andersen, 2008). The model has four domains: contextual characteristics, individual characteristics, health behaviors, and health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to determine the strength of particular or combinations of contextual characteristics, individual characteristics, and health behaviors to predict patient satisfaction in AAM from North Carolina treated for prostate cancer. This descriptive, correlational study was a secondary data analysis of cross-sectional data of approximately 505 African American men from North Carolina treated for prostate cancer. Data in this study were obtained from Project 1 (Racial differences in prostate cancer screening and care-seeking behaviors: P.I. Paul Godley) and Project 2 (Cultural and demographic predictors of interaction with the health care system and prostate cancer aggressiveness: P.I. Merle Mishel) of the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP) supported by Department of Defense Grant DAMD 17-03-2-0052: P.I. James Mohler. The data were collected from September 2004 to November 2007. A model was proposed and tested to determine statistically significant relationships among the three domains of health service utilization (contextual characteristics, individual characteristics, and health behaviors) and patient satisfaction. Analyses consisted of univariate statistics, bivariate analysis, and multiple regression using forward selection, backward elimination, and stepwise procedures. Finally, hierarchical regression was used to assess and analyze nested data. The variables selected for the final model were: percentage with less than a high school degree, participation in religious activities, mistrust, racism, perceived access to care, patient-provider communication, interpersonal treatment, and communications. Together, these variables accounted for 51% (p = <.0001) of the variability in patient satisfaction. This study identified that interpersonal treatment and mistrust were the two most important predictors fo patient satisfaction for men in this study. While contextual characteristics (p = .003, F = 13.36) accounted for only 2% of the variability, individual characteristics (p = <.001, F = 32.63) added 27% more, and health behaviors (p = <.001, F = 51.6) added an additional 22%. Patient-controlled variables (individual characteristics) and health care provider-controlled variables (health behaviors) are similar in the amount of explained variability in patient satisfaction. The study also provided evidence for the need to look at cultural factors of mistrust and racism when considering individual characteristics. Patient satisfaction can inform us of future health care utilization

TYPE LOCALITY. — « Antilles ». The locality Antilles is given on the label of the type material (Y. Finet MHNG, written communication). TYPE MATERIAL. — In the margin of the exemplar of Animaux sans Vertèbres (Lamarck 1822) belonging to Lamarck, his daughter indicated the number of specimens stored in his collection. For Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1822, she wrote four specimens and now only two are retrieved. They represent two syntypes and have the following register number: MHNG INVE 51843 (corresponding to the old numbers MHNG 1099/ 41/1, H: 43.4 mm and MHNG 1099/41/2, H: 34.6 mm) MHNG 1099/ 41/1, H: 43.4 mm and MHNG 1099/41/2, H: 34.6 mm). In order to avoid confusion with other species, a lectotype of Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 is hereby designated from the syntype MHNG 1099/ 41/1. Thus, the syntype MHNG 1099/41/2 becomes a paralectotype. OTHER MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 1 spm, coll. BG, Palm Beach, Florida, USA, H: 33.3 mm; 1 spm, coll.

REMARKS Lamarck (1816) figured Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 among shells coming from the Antilles and gave a description in 1822. Unfortunately, this name had previously been proposed by Gmelin (1791) and is usually unaccepted, because it is considered to be a junior primary homonym. However, the article 23.9.5 of the ICZN (1999) stipulates that: “When an author discovers that a species-group name in use is a junior primary homonym [Art. 53.3] of another species-group name also in use, but the names apply to taxa not considered congeneric after 1899, the author must not automatically replace the junior homonym” – the case should be referred to the Commission for a ruling under the plenary power and meanwhile prevailing usage of both names is to be maintained.” In respect to this article, these two names are not considered congeneric after 1899 and the prevailing usage is maintained for Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 and Cerithium hexagonum (Gmelin, 1791). Murex hexagonus Gmelin, 1791, from the Middle Eocene of Europe, has been transferred in genus Cerithium (Bruguière 1792). Murex hexagonus Gmelin, 1791 is a junior synonym of Murex angulatus Solander in Brander 1766 and belongs to the genus Pyrazopsis Akopjan, 1972 (Harzhauser et al. 2013). In conclusion, the name Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 should be rehabilitated. Later, Smith (1938) described a subspecies Murex hexagonus oxytatus from a Plio-Pleistocene fossil (Caloosahatchee Formation, Florida, USA) and since Abbott (1958), M. oxytatus is usually used for Recent material (Abbott 1974, Fair 1976, Radwin & d’Attilio 1976, Abbott & Dance1982, Vokes 1994, Houart 2006 see above the synonymic list). However, the case of M. hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 was not reconsidered and Vokes (1994) discussing M. zylmanae (Petuch, 1993) suggested that the figure of Murex hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 displays more similarities with M. zylmanae than with M. oxytatus. Thus, the question of the identity of M. hexagonus Lamarck, 1816 was open. The study of numerous specimens of Murexsul collected in the Caribbean area allows to identify seven local species: Murexsul oxytatus (Smith, 1938), M. huberti (Radwin & D’Attilio, 1976), M. zylmanae and M. chesleri Houart, 2006, M. sunderlandi (Petuch, 1987), M. warreni (Petuch, 1993), M. jahami Merle & Garrigues, 2011 and to distinguish an eighth species. Thanks to the collaboration of Y. Finet (MHNG), we received photos of the two syntypes of Murex hexagonus. These photos correspond to the species that we identified as the eighth species. COMPARISON (SEE ALSO TABLE 3) Murexsul oxytatus (Fig. 7G, H) is distinguished from M. hexagonus by columellar folds and by a shorter siphonal canal. In M. oxytatus, the length of siphonal canal is 24% of the total length of the teleoconch (average on 11 spm), instead of 28% for M. hexagonus (average on 14 spm), see also Fig. 9. In addition, the cord spines P1 of M. hexagonus are longer than those of M. oxytatus. Murexsul zylmanae (Fig.7I) differs from M.hexagonus by hypertrophied cord spines P1, P3 and P5, an atrophied P4, a longer siphonal canal and a more acute spire. Murexsul huberti (Fig. 7J) has a lower spire than M. hexagonus with an apical angle of 54° instead of 44°. It displays seven varices on last whorl instead six. The protoconch is also shorter with 1.25 whorls instead 1.5 whorls. Murexsul chesleri (Fig. 7K) exhibits a shorter siphonal canal, a broader infrasutural ramp. In M. chesleri, the cord spine P3 is longer than the P1 cord spine whereas in M. hexagonus, the P1 cord spine is longer than the P3 cord spine. Murexsul sunderlandi (Petuch, 1987) has a more globose shell with a lower spire and a peculiar red colour with white spiral bands. In comparison with M. warreni (Petuch, 1993), M. hexagonus displays a narrower shape, a higher spire and a longer siphonal canal. Murexsul warreni bears a white color white with black spots. Murexsul jahami Merle & Garrigues, 2011, differs from M. hexagonus by an inflated last whorl, a P5 less developed, a more expanded columellar lip and a very scabrous surface.Published as part of Garrigues, Bernard & Merle, Didier, 2014, Nine new species of Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815 (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the French Antilles, pp. 841-864 in Zoosystema 36 (4) on pages 856-862, DOI: 10.5252/z2014n4a7, http://zenodo.org/record/515967

    Multi-solitons for nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations

    No full text
    International audienceIn this paper we consider the existence of multi-soliton structures for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation (NLKG) in R^{1+d}. We prove that, independently of the unstable character of (NLKG) solitons, it is possible to construct a N-soliton family of solutions to (NLKG), of dimension 2N, globally well-defined in the energy space H^1 \times L^2 for all large positive times. The method of proof involves the generalization of previous works on supercritical NLS and gKdV equations by Martel, Merle and the first author to the wave case, where we replace the unstable mode associated to the linear NLKG operator by two generalized directions that are controlled without appealing to modulation theory. As a byproduct, we generalize the linear theory described in Grillakis-Shatah-Strauss and Duyckaerts-Merle to the case of boosted solitons, and provide new solutions to be studied using the recent Nakanishi- Schlag theory
