Tratamento cirúrgico da fibrilação atrial: incoerência ou negligência?

A literatura está plena de argumentos e dados enfatizando a relação entre fibrilação atrial (FA) e maior risco de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) e mortalidade. Isto ocorre mesmo na FA primária, ou seja, na ausência de cardiopatia estrutural associada e é agravada por fatores de risco, como os elencados no conhecido escore CHADS (acrônimo para recent Congestive heart failure, history of Hypertension, Agee”75 years, Diabetes mellitus, and past history of Stroke or transient ischaemic attack). Por meio dos fatores, o risco pode ser estratificado, podendo-se identificar casos de maior risco para AVC e morte. Sabe-se que a anticoagulação é necessária e eficaz na redução de tromboembolismos, mas não é suficiente para prevenir completamente a embolização sistêmica, que ocorre, no mínimo, em 1,5% dos pacientes ao ano, quando rigorosamente tratados e acompanhados [1]. A ablação percutânea, por cateter utilizando energia de radiofrequência ou outras, consegue índices de sucesso de até 70%, nos casos de FA paroxística e persistente, podendo alcançar índices maiores se forem feitas 2 ou mais tentativas. Entretanto, a ablação percutânea é reconhecidamente ineficaz na FA permanente, nos casos crônicos, de longa duração e em átrios dilatados, sendo contraindicada na presença de trombos intracavitários. Por outro lado, a cirurgia do labirinto, mais conhecida como de Cox (“maze procedure”) e suas modificações, como o isolamento cirúrgico das veias pulmonares, por corte e sutura, tem sido aplicada com altos índices de sucesso (maiores de 90%) na reversão a ritmo sinusal ou atrial, de casos de FA permanente, refratária, de longa duração, em átrios usualmente maiores de 5 cm em diâmetro, associados ou não a cardiopatia estrutural [2,3]. O procedimento envolve toracotomia ampla e emprego de circulação extracorpórea, mas o risco hospitalar situa-se em torno de 1% para mortalidade. Neste número da Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular, Canale et al. [4], no artigo “Tratamento cirúrgico de fibrilação atrial utilizando ablação com radiofrequência bipolar em doença mitral reumática” (pág. 565) demonstram a experiência com a ablação por radiofrequência bipolar durante cirurgia de valva mitral. Essa mesma forma de ablação é empregada em cirurgias videoassistidas, que vem ganhando exposição na literatura.
Ein Qedem 2. A Kebaran site in Nahal Galim, Mount Carmel, Israel

Ein Qedem 2 (EQ2) is an open-air Kebaran site (Early Epipalaeolithic period, ca. 22 000 –17 500 calBP) located on the slope of Mount Carmel, Israel. The site is a part of a complex of prehistoric sites situated around the perennial spring of Ein Qedem and near the outskirts of the city of Haifa. EQ2, located near affluent sources of flint, presents ample evidence for Kebaran flint knapping. The rich flint assemblage provides valuable information concerning the microlithic industry, one of the hallmarks of the Epipalaeolithic period in this region.
A learning strategy using simulator for real hardware of swing-up pendulum

In this paper, we propose a novel method of hybrid machine learning using both simulator and real hardware. In advance, a simulator of the target machine is built with the actually acquired data from the real hardware using neural networks and the back-propagation learning method. Afterward, the objective controller of the hardware is trained only with the built simulator by the reinforcement learning method. Finally, the controller is applied to the real hardware. The both learning processes for the simulator and the controller are performed without using the real hardware after the data sampling, therefore load against the hardware is sufficiently small, and the objective controller can be optimized faster than real time learning. As an example, we picked up the pendulum swing-up task which was a typical nonlinear control problem, and the proposed method worked successfully.
EgoHands : a unified framework for hand-based methods in first person vision videos

The emergence of new wearable devices such as action cameras and smart-glasses during the recent years has led to an important chain e ect between researchers, computer scientists, and high-tech companies. The 90’s futuristic dream of a wearable device that is always ready to be used in front of our eyes is nowadays technically possible. In turn, this has increased the interest of researchers and computer scientists to develop methods to process the recorded data. Among the available sensors, by far the most explored one is the video camera, which, on one hand, has enjoyed the bene ts of a privileged location to record exactly what the user is seeing, but on the other hand has raised strong criticism concerning privacy and battery life issues. The videos recorded from this perspective are commonly called First-Person Vision (FPV) or Egocentric videos, and are used interchangeably in this thesis and in the existing literature. FPV videos o er important bene ts to computer vision scientists; however, they also bring along many challenges. The main bene t is that, for the rst time, wearable devices are recording exactly what the users have in front of them. However, the mobile and wearable nature also brings along highly variable environments with di erent illumination and without any kind of static reference system. In FPV, unlike in the static cameras video processing, both the background and the foreground are in constant motion. The FPV camera’s location brings along the fact that the user’s hands are visible for the majority of the recording time. As a result, there is a large number of studies related to detecting hand gestures and trajectories. The hand presence is particularly important for the eld because, for the rst time, hand gestures (conscious or unconscious) can be used as an intuitive way of interacting with devices. Studies about human hand movements are not restricted to wearable cameras and computer vision. In fact, the elds of biology and neuroscience both deeply explore hand usage in daily activities. There is a signi cant number of studies and theories that revolve around explaining the hand dominance in humans and its consequences with respect to upper limb motion skills. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 individuals are
Preparation of Papers for the WCECS 2009

These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for the WCECS. Use this document as a template if you are using LaTeX. Motion track- ing and object recognition often use cameras that are mounted in motion platforms like pan-tilt units, linear tables and even robots. Tracking can be automated by visually servoing the platform's degrees-of-freedom (DOF) thus keeping the camera's point-of-view di- rected at the target. Tracking quick moving targets often demands faster bandwidth platforms. However biology suggests a redundant approach where DOF, like the eye and head, cooperate to direct vision sys- tems and overcome joint limits. This paper illus- trates the effectiveness of this concept using a robot- mounted camera.
L'influence des parties prenantes sur les coûts environnementaux : l'exemple des coûts de désamiantage

En mobilisant la theorie de l’importance des parties prenantes de Mitchell et al. (1997), cet article met en evidence l’influence des parties prenantes sur la perception des managers et donc sur le cout des operations environnementales. Le cout environnemental n’est alors plus un ensemble de depenses impose du fait d’operations techniques mais le produit de l’influence des parties prenantes. Pour montrer cela, la recherche s’appuie sur quatre etudes de cas qui explorent differentes operations de desamiantage. Cet article met en evidence deux apports. Il souligne en premier lieu le lien entre les attributs percus des parties prenantes (en nombre et en intensite) et l’influence de ces dernieres sur les couts environnementaux. Il contribue ensuite aux travaux sur l’Environmental Management Accounting en proposant une typologie des couts environnementaux qui integre les dynamiques induites par l’influence percue des parties prenantes.
Optimising SPARQL Query Evaluation in the Presence of ShEx Constraints

ShEx (Shape Expressions) is a language for expressing constraints on RDF graphs. In this work, we optimise the evaluation of conjunctive SPARQL queries, on RDF graphs, by taking advantage of ShEx constraints. Our optimisation is based on computing and assigning ranks to query triple patterns, dictating their order of execution. We first define a set of well-formed ShEx schemas, that possess interesting characteristics for SPARQL query optimisation. We then define our optimisation method by exploiting information extracted from a ShEx schema. We finally report on evaluation results performed showing the advantages of applying our optimisation on the top of an existing state-of-the-art query evaluation system.
Behaviour of Mobile Adhoc Network under OLSR and MPOLSR protocols with increasing number of nodes

Mobile Ad hoc network is a concept in wireless communication with mobile nodes which means that user wanting to communicate with each other form a temporary without any form of centralized administration. Each node participate in the network, acts both as a host and a router and must therefore be willing to forward packet for other node. For this purpose, a routing protocol is needed. A verity of routing protocols for MANETs have been developed by network researchers and designers primarily to improve the performance of MANETs with respect to correct and efficient route establishment between a pair of stations for message delivery. Ad hoc networks consist of a collection of wireless mobile nodes which dynamically exchange data without reliance on any fixed base station or a wired backbone network. They are by definition self-organized. The frequent topological change makes multi-hop routing a crucial issue for these networks. In this dissertation work all evaluation has been done on different scenario of two different MANET routing protocols i.e. OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) and MP-OLSR (Multipath Optimized Link State Routing) on different simulation time with respect to the three performance metrics: packet delivery ratio, throughput and average End-to-End delay. All simulation result implement at network simulator-2 (NS-2.29). By doing the simulation work the need of a routing protocol adapted to the new situation is shown.
World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention.

M Peden, R Scurfield, D Sleet, D Mohan, A A Hyder, E Jarawan, C Mathers. (Swiss Fr 30/US $27; in developing countries Swiss Fr 15.) Geneva: World Health Organization, 2004. ISBN 92-4-156260-9. This impressive report aims to raise awareness about the extent of road traffic collisions globally, to draw attention to their preventability, and to call for a coordinated partnership approach to addressing the problem. In its five chapters it gives in turn a comprehensive catalogue of the fundamentals of road safety, the impact of road trauma across the world, the key factors contributing to crashes and consequential injuries, successful interventions which have been applied (mainly in high income countries) to reduce the problem, with the final chapter containing conclusions and recommendations. The report points out that over 3000 lives are lost daily to road traffic collisions. While a decrease in road deaths of some 30% is forecast in high income countries (HICs), projected trends in low and middle income countries (LMICs) foreshadow a huge increase in road crash mortality between 2000 and 2020. Hence the report quickly identifies that the priority globally should be effective interventions in LMICs. In chapter 1 on fundamentals there is a recognition that “technology transfer from high-income to low-income countries needs to fit local conditions and should address research-based local needs”. However chapter 4 on interventions, …
Evaluation of the role of captopril on clozapine-induced cardiotoxicity and hematotoxicity in adult male albino rats

Clozapine (CLZ) is considered the most effective drug in treatment of resistant schizophrenia. However, its cardiotoxic effect has raised concerns about its safety. Captopril is a well-known angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor with unique antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of captopril against CLZ-induced myocarditis, and since both drugs have hematotoxic effects, this study aimed to clarify the effect of their combined use on the bone marrow. The study was conducted for 4 weeks on 50 adult male albino rats divided into five groups: group I (negative control), group II (positive control), group III treated with captopril 5 mg/kg/day, group IV treated with CLZ 25 mg/kg/day, and group V treated with captopril (5 mg/kg) 1 hour before CLZ (25 mg/kg/day). CLZ group showed a significant increase in serum troponin I, marked histopathological changes, and immunohistochemical staining of DNA degradation product 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG). It significantly increased malondialdehyde level and decreased glutathione peroxidase. Captopril coadministration decreased the histopathological hallmarks and biochemical marker of myocarditis and attenuated CLZ effects on the oxidative stress parameters and 8-OHdG, suggesting its protective action against CLZ-induced myocarditis. Complete blood count and bone marrow evaluation was normal indicating that captopril, in the protective dose given, didn’t increase the risk of CLZ-induced hematotoxicity

Characteristics of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients According to Their Cancer Stage at the Time of Diagnosis in Korea

There is a relatively high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in South Korea. In general, hepatocellular carcinoma is diagnosed between ages 45 to 65 with differing rates among the age groups; also the causative links to this particular cancer type is thought to be different from country to country. This study aimed to analyze the proportion of the patients who were diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma by gender and document the differences in survival rates according to the stages of the cancer. Our study was based on the insurance claims data filed with one company from 2009 to 2011 for liver cancer. This data was used to classify patients according to their cancer stage, age and gender. We also analyzed survival rates in each group and noted their differences. From our study the proportions of deaths in males were higher than in females, but within each group there were no significant differences by age. Our analysis also indicated that the survival rate for stages 1-2 cancer patients were relative high at more than 70%. The proportion of patients surviving stages 3 and 4 cancer diagnosis was considerably lower with 20% surviving in 5 years. Considering the age groups of the patients, the mortality rate for patients aged 50-60 due to cancer was higher than patients aged 20-40. Because of the lower survival rates in stages 3 and 4 diagnosis group and in the 50-60 age population, it is necessary that we rethink our practices for treatment and nursing for these groups to better provide for them. In addition the insurance health coverage may also be tiered to this population set according to age and stage groupings.
GLAS : framework to improve assesment in educational videogames

El proceso de evaluacion es fundamental para valorar los resultados de cualquier proceso educativo. Ademas es un elemento crucial en la aceptacion de un nuevo proceso educativo por parte de los profesores. Esta evaluacion se hace aun mas complicada cuando se ha de realizar sobre juegos educativos. Learning Analytics es una nueva disciplina que aboga por colectar la informacion derivada de la interaccion de los estudiantes con cualquier material educativo on-line, para por un lado entender mejor como interactuan los estudiantes con este tipo de material, y por otro, evaluar el resultado de los procesos de aprendizaje. La mayoria de aplicaciones de Learning Analytics que se estan realizando en el campo de e-learning son sobre sistemas de gestion de ensenanza o Learning Management System. Los videojuegos educativos, debido a su alto nivel interactivo, presentan el entorno ideal para este tipo de procesos. En este trabajo se presenta la aplicacion del proceso de Learning Analytics sobre videojuegos educativos. Este trabajo esta organizado en tres partes: en la primera, se presenta la motivacion cientifica del planteamiento de este proyecto, una propuesta de implementacion abstracta y una propuesta de implementacion concreta sobre el motor de juegos educativos eAdventure como objetivo; en la segunda parte, se detalla todo el proceso de implementacion llevado a cabo en la realizacion del proyecto; y en la tercera y ultima se presentan algunas de las conclusiones obtenidas y se identifican las lineas de trabajo futuro a desarrollar. [ABSTRACT] Assessment process is key to evaluate results of any educational process. Besides, it is a crucial element in the acceptance of any new assessment process by the teachers. This evaluation gets more complicated when it must be done over educational videogames. Learning Analytics is a new field that advocates of capturing all the data derived from interaction with on-line educational resources, first, to better understand how students interact with this type of resources, and second, to evaluate the educational action itself. Most of Learning Analytics research in e-learning is being deployed over Learning Management Systems. Educational videogames, due to their high interaction level, present the ideal environment for this type of analysis. In this project, application of the Learning Analytics process over educational videogames is presented. This document is organized in three parts: in part I, it is presented the scientific motivation for the project, an abstract implementation approach and a concrete implementation deployed over the eAdventure game engine; in part II, all implementation process is detailed, approaching all the project’s subsystems; and finally, in part III, some conclusions of the project are presented, and some future work to be developed.
Low-cost memory analyses for efficient compilers

This thesis was motivated by the emergence of massively parallel processing and supercomputingthat tend to make computer programming extremely performing. Speedup, the power consump-tion, and the efficiency of both software and hardware are nowadays the main concerns of theinformation systems community. Handling memory in a correct and efficient way is a step towardless complex and more performing programs and architectures. This thesis falls into this contextand contributes to memory analysis and compilation fields in both theoretical and experimentalaspects.Besides the deep study of the current state-of-the-art of memory analyses and their limitations,our theoretical results stand in designing new algorithms to recover part of the imprecisionthat published techniques still show. Among the present limitations, we focus our research onthe pointer arithmetic to disambiguate pointers within the same data structure. We develop ouranalyses in the abstract interpretation framework. The key idea behind this choice is correctness,and scalability: two requisite criteria for analyses to be embedded to the compiler construction.The first alias analysis we design is based on the range lattice of integer variables. Given a pair ofpointers defined from a common base pointer, they are disjoint if their offsets cannot have valuesthat intersect at runtime. The second pointer analysis we develop is inspired from the Pentagonabstract domain. We conclude that two pointers do not alias whenever we are able to build astrict relation between them, valid at program points where the two variables are simultaneouslyalive. In a third algorithm we design, we combine both the first and second analysis, and enhancethem with a coarse grained but efficient analysis to deal with non related pointers.We implement these analyses on top of the LLVM compiler. We experiment and evaluate theirperformance based on two metrics: the number of disambiguated pairs of pointers compared tocommon analyses of the compiler, and the optimizations further enabled thanks to the extraprecision they introduce
Cervical screening, compliance and moral obligation

Cervical screening has been subject to extensive scrutiny within the social sciences over the last two decades. Moreover, it has been described, in passing, as an example of ‘surveillance medicine’ through which new aspects of people’s lives are brought under medical scrutiny. Cervical screening is an example of secondary prevention with which women, on the whole, are expected and encouraged to comply, in what are deemed to be their best interests. However, the social science literature on cervical screening tends to present compliance as a morally neutral and unproblematic response to information about disease prevention. In contrast, this paper seeks to illustrate how women draw on specific contexts and relationships through which participation in, or compliance with screening, is given meaning. Drawing on women’s accounts of their experience of screening participation, the paper suggests that compliance with cervical screening cannot be viewed exclusively as a morally neutral, if desirable, outcome of disease prevention initiatives, but may also be embedded within a moral framework of self-responsibility and social obligation.
