Published: January 2022

Introduction: The evaluation of regional lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer is one of the main predictive and prognostic factors for treatment. The methods of percutaneous evaluation of suspicious lymph nodes frequently used are fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology and core-needle biopsy (CNB). According to the international literature, CNB and FNA are considered diagnostic methods with high specificity (98% vs. 99%). H, the FNA may present up to 21% of inconclusive results by insufficient material. Although CNB is well established as a percutaneous method for diagnostic evaluation of suspected breast lesions, the literature is scarce on the use of this technique for the evaluation of suspicious lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. Objectives: Analyze the positivity of FNA and CNB performed in suspicious lymph nodes for breast cancer metastasis according to the anatomical location of biopsies and the type of needle used, verifying which technique was preferred. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by evaluating the database of patients treated in the non-palpable lesions sector of a public hospital in São Paulo. Women submitted to ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of lymph nodes from May 2015 to November 2019 were included in the study. The data were analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 27 and Microsoft EXCEL version 2010. Results: A total of 499 biopsies were performed, and the mean age of the women was 54.2 years (SD±11.9) in the CNB group and 53.4 years (SD±11.8) in the FNA group (p=0.619). According to the anatomical location, 385 were axillary (77.2%), 62 supraclavicular (12.4%), 48 cervical (9.6%) and 4 infraclavicular (0.8%). Regarding the type of needle, 393 were CNBs (78.8%) and 106 were FNA (21.2%). When analyzing the results of the FNA, 38 (35.8%) did not present enough material, 31 (29.2%) were positive, 32 (30.2%) were negative and 5 (4.8%) showed atypical cells. Among the 393 CNBs performed, 255 (64.9%) were positive, 132 (33.6%) were negative, 1 (0.3%) showed atypical cells and 5 (1.3%) had no representative material. No complications were reported after the procedures. Conclusions: CNB was the preferred diagnostic technique in our service, being considered a feasible procedure to evaluate lymph nodes in different sites and with low rates of inconclusive results due to insufficient material. In the future, studies evaluating indirect costs may confirm the feasibility of CNB in patients with suspicious lymph nodes in terms of obtaining greater agility and resolutive conducts in the public healthcare system.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Since 2013, after the Saint Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference, breast cancer is classified by its morphological, biological and prognostic features into three subgroups according to the immunohistochemichal expression, which is similar to the genetic expression of the tumor. These groups, known as luminal, HER2 enriched and triple negative, are classified according to the positivity or negativity of nuclear receptors (estrogen [ER] and progesterone receptors [PR]) or membrane receptors (HER2). Triple negative tumors do not express positivity for any of these receptors. This group is composed of tumors with a more adverse biology and more aggressive behavior, affecting women in a younger age than other groups, and they also have higher rates of recurrence and lower overall survival. Objectives: This study aims to assess morphological and angiogenic features of these tumors by ultrasound exams. Methods: This is a prospective study, in which 129 lesions with an immunochemistry study compatible with triple negative tumors were selected from 1,180 breast carcinomas diagnosed by ultrasound and core biopsy from 2012 to 2017. Features assessed were shape, margin, posterior acoustic effect, reaction of the surrounding tissue, presence of calcifications within the lesion, presence of vascular flow with resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and maximum velocity of the vascular flow (Vmax). Results: Among the 129 tumors included, oval shape was the most prevalent with 72 cases (56%), 43 tumors (33%) had an irregular shape, and only 14 (11%) were round. As for their margin, the most prevalent was microlobulated, observed in 60 cases (46%), followed by circumscribed (35 cases, 27%), indistinct (19 cases, 15%), and the less frequent margins were angled and spiculated, with 10 (8%) and 5 cases (4%), respectively. The most prevalent posterior acoustic effect was enhancement (50 cases, 39%), followed by absence of posterior effect (38 cases, 27%), mixed effect (23 cases, 18%) and the least frequent was acoustic shadowing, accounting for only 18 cases (14%). The absolute majority of the tumors, 92% lesions in total, did not present calcifications within the lesion and 89% did not have a hyperechogenic halo in the surrounding tissue, presenting with abrupt lesion limits. From all cases, 110 (85%) had normal peritumoral tissue, causing no tissue thickening. In relation to the angiogenic study, most lesions had vascular flow (81 cases, 63%). The mean PI was 1.5, RI was 0.7 and the average Vmax was 19.7 cm/s. Conclusions: From an ultrasonographic point of view, some prevalent feautres are noted, which can help in their radiogenomic determination. Oval shape, abrupt interface, microlobulated margins, posterior acoustic enhancement, absence of internal microcalcifications and hyperechogenic halo prevailed.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: The invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast occurs in approximately 10% of breast cancers. The increased risk for multicentric and bilateral breast tumor is well-documented in the literature, but few data is available regarding the interval for occurrence of contralateral tumors. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the bilaterality of the lobular tumor and time to the occurrence of the bilateral tumor in comparison with non-lobular tumors. Methods: Retrospective, analytical study from the American Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER) database. Patients with unilateral and bilateral breast cancer (synchronous and metachronous) were filtered from this database in women aged 20 to 75 years from 2000 to 2017. Patients with cancers diagnosed in other organs were excluded. Definitions: Lobular carcinoma at the first diagnosis (LC): patients with lobular breast cancer at the diagnosis of the first neoplasm. Non-lobular carcinoma (NLC): patients with non-lobular carcinoma (ductal or special type) at diagnosis of the first neoplasm. Results: We identified 560,608 patients with breast cancer, 19,792 of which were patients with bilateral tumors (3.5%) and 45,156 (8.0%) lobular tumors at the first diagnosis. Patients with LC had significantly more tumors in both breasts throughout the research period (6.3% vs. 3.3%; OR: 1.97; 95%CI 1.89–2.06, p <0.001). The time for occurrence of contralateral tumor varied widely between patients with lobular and non-lobular tumors. The LC patients presented the diagnosis of contralateral breast tumor much earlier, with 50% of the contralateral tumors diagnosed within one month, and 75% in the first three months, while the NLC patients presented 50% of the contralateral tumors in the first three months and 75% after 54 months of follow-up. Cox’s multivariate analysis shows a higher risk of contralateral breast involvement in LC patients when corrected by age and estrogen receptor expression (RR 2.0; 95%CI 1.93–2.09; p <0.001). This increased risk is not sustained when patients with a tumor in an interval greater than 12 months (RR 1.04; 95%CI 0.96–1.14; p=0.3). Conclusions: Invasive lobular carcinoma is associated with a higher incidence of contralateral disease, but the higher risk occurs in the first year of follow-up. After the one-year period, the incidence of contralateral breast cancer is similar in lobular and non-lobular cancers.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Breast cancer is a public health problem worldwide, being the most common malignancy in the female population. It is a potentially curable disease with an early diagnosis. The advanced stage at the time of diagnosis is associated with increased morbidity and low survival for the patients. Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and anatomopathological characteristics of breast cancer cases in women included in the hospital-based cancer registry (RHC) of Fundação Oncocentro de São Paulo (FOSP), and to investigate factors associated with the clinical stage at diagnosis. Methods: The study design was a case series. The sample consisted of women with breast cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2014 and included in the RHC-FOSP. The outcome variable was a clinical-stage (stage 0–II versus III–IV). The explanatory variables were age at diagnosis and educational level. This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Botucatu Medical School, São Paulo State University, Brazil. Results: The study included 84,987 women with in situ and invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. The average age of women at diagnosis was 56.7 years (95%CI 56.6–56.8 years). Sixty-five percent of cases completed elementary school or less and the most frequent histological type was ductal carcinoma (77.2%). During the study period, there was a slight decrease in the proportion of tumors in more advanced stages, from 39.8% in 2000 to 32.6% in 2014. There was a statistically significant association between age at diagnosis and educational level with the women’s grouped clinical stage. Women of older age and those with a higher education level had reduced odds ratios of having tumors in more advanced stages at the time of diagnosis. Conclusions: These findings may contribute to the development of policies for the identification of breast tumors at earlier stages.

Community involvement is very important for the success of a CSR program, therefore the community should be involved in the implementation of the CSR program so that the CSR program provided can achieve success, so that the community can benefit from the results of the CSR program. To find out empirically the influence of the level of community involvement with the success rate of CSR program implementation. The research using a quantitative research and incidental sampling technique. The total population of active people who participate in the management of the CSR program is 79 people and a sample of 79 people who are active in the program implementation. The data analysis technique used simple linear regression test analysis. It can be concluded that there is a significant influence between the level of community involvement and the success rate of implementing the CSR program, so that the higher the level of community involvement, the higher the success rate of program implementation. With the CSR program, the community becomes prosperous and feels comfortable because the company has a negative impact, namely disturbing the surrounding environment due to waste or pollution. Not all communities become research subjects. For further researchers, they should get more attention to the surrounding environment and companies that have an interest in CSR programs.

Ultrasonic Vocalization Analysis as a Novel Metric to Assess Cage Enrichment in Rats
Authors: Bigelow Logan J , Cohen Andrew J , Pimm Robyn , Knight Jennifer B , Bernard Paul B
Published: January 2022

Laboratory rodent housing conditions vary significantly across laboratories and facilities. Variation in housing can be associated with animal stress leading to study variability and the subsequent inability to replicate experimental findings. Optimization and standardization of animal
housing are necessary to promote animal welfare and data consistency, thereby reducing the number of animals necessary to detect treatment effects. While interest in environmental enrichment is increasing, many studies do not examine the behavior of animals in the home cage, neglecting important
aspects of enrichment. To determine how increased vertical home cage area affects animal welfare, double-decker cages (enriched), which allow rats to upright stand, were compared with standard single-level cages, which impede the ability to upright stand. Home cage welfare was assessed by
analyzing ultrasonic vocalizations, fecal corticosterone, upright standing, and fighting. Ultrasonic vocalization was further explored by analyses of call type as defined by a 14 call-type schematic. Rats housed in enriched cages spent more time fighting, produced fewer 50 kHz calls, and had
higher levels of fecal corticosterone. Rats in standard cages attempted to upright stand more often but remained upright for a shorter amount of time due to the height limitation imposed by standard cages. In addition, standard cages restrict some naturalistic behaviors such as upright standing
and reduce fighting, which may be attributable to their single-tier organization and floor space. Enriched cages permit rats to engage in normal ethological behavior but also increase fighting. This study demonstrates that housing conditions have a meaningful impact on multiple measures of
animal affect. When considering study design, researchers should be aware of how housing conditions affect animal subjects.
The Importance of Integrating Preand Perinatal Issues into Bioenergetic Analysis
Authors: Fauser Wera
Published: January 2022

This article deals with the importance of integrating preand perinatal issues into Bioenergetic Analysis (BA), since our individual story begins long before we can look into our mother’s eyes. The preand perinatal period creates our first foundation, our first grounding and our first attachment in this world and the way we experienced our time in the womb and our leaving this first abode and what happened in these earliest moments and days can strongly affect our entire later life. After an introduction, a short historical survey and a chart depicting for body-oriented therapy relevant stages of prenatal development, I will describe examples of pre-and perinatal trauma. For some of these examples clinical vignettes are presented that should emphasize that the consideration of these earliest themes are not to be neglected especially in body-oriented therapeutic methods like Bioenergetic Analysis.
Características clinicopatológicas de nódulos pulmonares: Experiencia en Clínica Reina Sofía, Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Fernández-Arrieta Alexander , Martínez-Jaramillo Stella Isabel , Riscanevo-Bobadilla Angie Carolina , Escobar-Ávila Laura Lucia
Published: January 2022

Introducción. El cáncer de pulmón es la primera causa de mortalidad por cáncer a nivel mundial, lo que hace que sea considerado un problema de salud pública. Existen diferentes hallazgos imagenológicos que hacen sospechar la presencia de cáncer de pulmón, uno de los cuales son los nódulos pulmonares; sin embargo, estos también pueden verse en entidades benignas.
Métodos. Se incluyeron 66 pacientes con biopsia de nódulo pulmonar en la Clínica Reina Sofía, en la ciudad de Bogotá, D.C., Colombia, entre el 1° de marzo del 2017 y el 28 de febrero del 2020. Se analizaron las características demográficas de los pacientes, las características morfológicas e histopatológicas de los nódulos pulmonares y la correlación entre sus características imagenológicas e histopatológicas.
Resultados. El 69,2 % de los nódulos estudiados tenían etiología maligna, de estos el 55,5 % era de origen metástasico y el 44,5 % eran neoplasias primarias de pulmón, con patrón sólido en el 70,6 % de los casos. El patrón histológico más frecuente fue adenocarcinoma. Respecto a las características radiológicas, en su mayoría los nódulos malignos medían de 1 a 2 cm, de morfología lisa y distribución múltiple, localizados en lóbulos superiores.
Conclusiones. La caracterización de los nódulos pulmonares brinda información relevante que orienta sobre los diagnósticos más frecuentes en nuestro medio, cuando se estudian nódulos sospechosos encontrados incidentalmente o en el seguimiento de otro tumor. Como el nódulo es la manifestación del cáncer temprano del pulmón, establecer programas de tamización que permitan el diagnóstico oportuno, es hoy día una imperiosa necesidad, para reducir la mortalidad.

Published: January 2022

Introducción. El síndrome lumbocostovertebral es una anomalía poco frecuente, que afecta a los cuerpos vertebrales, las costillas y músculos de la pared abdominal, y puede estar asociada a múltiples anomalías congénitas. Requiere un manejo multidisciplinario y tratamiento quirúrgico temprano para evitar complicaciones.
Caso clínico. Se reporta el caso de un neonato masculino de 10 días de edad, que presentó desde el nacimiento 2 tumoraciones lumbares derechas, una que aumentaba de tamaño con el llanto, correspondió a una hernia lumbar, y la otra, a mielomeningocele. En estudios complementarios se evidenció fusión de costillas, fusión de cuerpos vertebrales lumbares, sacros (hemivértebras) y defecto de pared abdominal con protrusión de contenido intestinal. Se realizó cierre de la hernia lumbar con refuerzo protésico de pericardio bovino, sin complicaciones.
Conclusión. En defectos extensos, como el que se reporta en este paciente, puede ser recomendable emplear material protésico.

En pacientes con sospecha de coledocolitiasis, el estudio mediante colangiografía, endoscópica (CPRE), por resonancia magnética (CRM) o intraoperatoria (CIO), permite definir la necesidad de la exploración de la vía biliar 1, bien sea quirúrgica, endoscópica o percutánea. El estudio multicéntrico del Congreso Quirúrgico de Suroeste, con 1263 pacientes, mostró un desempeño diagnóstico similar entre estas tres opciones, sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas 1.
 En nuestro medio, cuando hay sospecha de coledocolitiasis, se prefiere la CRM al no ser invasiva, y por ende, tener menos riesgos de complicaciones, aunque presenta ciertas limitaciones, como una baja resolución espacial, con una sensibilidad de 64 % para cálculos menores de 3 mm, y ser susceptible de errores por artefactos de movimiento, por lo que baja su rendimiento en pacientes que no toleren permanecer inmóviles durante el tiempo que requiere una resonancia 2,3.

Introduction. Couscous is a product made from durum wheat semolina and water. No other ingredient is added except salt. The effect of salt on the couscous quality is poorly understood, and has never been studied. Objective. The effect of adding salt was studied on the quality of couscous. Material and methods. Two commercial semolina were used. During the couscous manufacture, the rolling yields were determined. After pre-cooking and drying couscous, the particle size analysis enabled us to determine the mean equivalent diameter (D50), and the geometric standard deviation(Sg). In order to assess color and culinary quality of couscous, brown index, yellow index, swelling capacity of couscous, caking index, and water solubility index were determined on dry couscous. Results. The salt addition had an effect on the rolling operation yields. The percentages of couscous and lumps decreased with the salt addition, whereas the percentages of non-agglomerated semolina increased. The particle size showed that the D50 lowered with the salt addition. On the other hand, the Sg remained unchanged. Salt addition decreased brown and yellow indexes, caking index, water solubility index, and swelling capacity of couscous. Conclusion. The salt influences the couscous agglomeration by promoting the formation of fine fractions and ameliorates the coloring, and the culinary quality of couscous by improving the stickiness

Introduction. Manufacturers and celiac patients have long complained about gluten-free (GF) pasta for its poor cooking properties, and reduced nutritional value. Therefore, it was imperative to develop GF foods that are acceptable to the consumer. Objective. The effect of different levels of sweet whey (SW), and acid whey (AW) was evaluated on cooking and sensory quality of rice-corn GF pasta. Material and methods. The physicochemical characteristics (pH, acidity, dry extract, proteins, fats, ash, and lactose contents) of whey samples were determined. For pasta-making, whey was added at different levels (25, 50, 75 and 100%) in replacement of water. GF pasta prepared without whey addition, and commercial durum wheat pasta (CWP) were considered as controls. Cooking quality (optimum cooking time (OCT), water absorption capacity (WAC), and cooking loss (CL)), as well as, sensorial quality were assessed. Results. GF pasta prepared with high levels of whey had significantly higher OCT, and lower WAC than control GF pasta. Control wheat pasta exhibited highest values (p<0.05) of these parameters. The incorporation of 25 and 50% of AW resulted in a significant decrease in CL. Moreover, sensory quality was improved by the addition of 50% of AW. Conclusion. An improvement of cooking and sensory quality of GF pasta is achieved by the addition of 25 and 50% acid whey.

Introduction. From its independence, the Algerian State has opted for a food policy, healthy, balanced, and accessible to all citizens, a policy carried out thanks to a very expensive food subsidy, and massive recourse to imports of basic foodstuffs. These measures have encouraged the increase in the country food dependency to the detriment of the harmonious development of the local agricultural sector, a strategic sector which should produce and guarantee the supply of the population, and meet their basic food needs. Objective. The objective of this study was to provide some objective answers on relevance and limits of food policy in Algeria, a policy that the state monopolizes and orchestrates in a difficult socioeconomic context, and which has proved to be inconsistent, and incapable of achieving the objective of food security targeted by the public authorities. Material and methods. This study was based exclusively on updated statistical, and theoretical data covering the post-independence period of the country (1962-2020). Data were collected from periodic reports and socioeconomic studies carried out by competent and credible bodies in the field. These sources concerned, in particular, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Bank (WB), the National Statistics Office (ONS), the National Council for Social Studies (CNES) , the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR), and others. These results were obtained through an operation of sampling, collecting and processing quantitative and qualitative information used in the field of quantitative and descriptive statistics. Results. The modest performances achieved in food policy in Algeria were the fruit of a policy of generalized subsidies and massive imports of basic foodstuffs (bread, milk, sugar, and vegetable oils). This ineffective policy did not achieve the objective of food self-sufficiency targeted by the public authorities; costed too dear to the public treasury and survived thanks to the oil rent; promoted the disengagement of the agricultural sector from its food mission and it failed to permanently eradicate the scourge of hunger and undernourishment. Conclusion. Food policy shows itself to be deficient in its actions and objectives. It survives on massive imports of basic foodstuffs in the absence of an effective contribution from the local agricultural sector. It remains very expensive due to the generalization of the subsidy policy. It remains fragile in the face of fluctuations in world oil prices, the main source of its financing.

A exigência de profissionais de Odontologia aptos a trabalhar no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) traz a necessidade de uma formação direcionada ao desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades. A inserção do aluno na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) por meio dos estágios vem sendo preconizada, por ser um nível de atenção importante para construção da integralidade do cuidado. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é descrever e analisar a experiência vivenciada por graduandos de Odontologia junto a uma equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) no componente curricular Estágio Supervisionado na ESF, em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) de um município do interior, em um bairro com grande vulnerabilidade social. Trata-se de um relato de experiência de abordagem descritiva, caráter qualitativo e cunho crítico-reflexivo. Os dados foram alcançados pela percepção dos alunos durante as atividades do estágio, utilizando como base o portfólio crítico reflexivo (PCR) construído durante dez encontros na UBS. Previamente, um semestre foi destinado à aquisição de conhecimento teórico e planejamento das atividades a serem desenvolvidas durante o estágio. Na UBS, os estudantes tiveram a possibilidade de vivenciar o funcionamento e interação da equipe de saúde, realizar atividades voltadas à prática interprofissional, visualizar as demandas da comunidade e desenvolver atividades com metodologias participativas. Em seguida, foi construído o PCR e partilhada a vivência por meio de apresentação aberta ao público. Dessa forma, o estágio permitiu desenvolver um olhar mais humanizado e integral aos estudantes de Odontologia, com competências importantes para o profissional apto a trabalhar no SUS.
Mazephishing: The COVID-19 pandemic as credible social context for social engineering attacks
Authors: Kikerpill Kristjan , Siibak Andra
Published: January 2022

The first months of the COVID-19 pandemic witnessed a
surge of social engineering attacks. Although the pandemic is certainly not the
first occurrence of socially disruptive circumstances that drive cybercriminals
to action, relevant academic scholarship has remained scarce. To fill this gap
in literature, and propose the analytical framework of mazephishing that
places particular emphasis on the importance of credible social context in the
functioning of the online scam ecosystem, we carried out a content analysis of (N=563)
international news stories reporting on social engineering attacks. Our results
indicate that criminals make heavy use of social context and impersonation to
make scams seem more credible. Major themes used in the scam messages include
health information, personal protective equipment, cures, financial relief and
donations. Additionally, scammers diversify their use of mediums depending on
the type of scam being perpetrated. Our analysis also shows a significant
presence of principles of persuasion in the circulated scam attempts.
Effect of silica fume on the undrained strength parameters of dispersive

Published: January 2022

Dispersive soils are one of the problematic soils such as swelling and collapsible soils and they are common in many countries of the world. Due to dispersive soils, significant problems arise in road embankments and earth dams. Therefore, the use of such soils is possible with treatment. Silica fume (SF) as a waste material has been used in concrete production instead of partially cement, in the stabilization of expansive soils and in many civil engineering applications for different purposes. Within the scope of this study, to determine the dispersibility behavior of the soil sample, crumb test was performed. SF additive was used to improve the soil sample, which was determined to have high dispersibility. The compaction properties of the soil specimens mixed with SF in different proportions (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%) were determined by the standard Proctor test. Crumb tests were performed to assess the dispersibility potential of the prepared specimens, and also unconsolidated and undrained (UU) triaxial tests were carried out to evaluate the strength parameters. UU experiments were performed under 20 kPa, 40 kPa and 60 kPa effective cell pressures on specimens cured for 1, 7 and 28 days because stabilization occurred at shallow depths in field applications. As a result, it was determined that the dispersibility feature of the soil sample was treated and the strength properties were improved depending on the SF content.
