The Complexities of Student Engagement for Historically Marginalized Youth in an After-School Program
Authors: Sjogren Ashlee L. , Melton Theresa N.
Published: December 2021

As researchers continue to address issues of equity within educational settings, it is important to also consider the role of equity in high-quality after-school programs. Evidence suggests that families from communities with fewer resources, along with families that identify as Black or Hispanic, report less access to quality after-school programming for their youth (Afterschool Alliance, 2020). This is especially problematic, as after-school programming has been associated with a number of positive outcomes for youth. In this study, researchers highlight youth perspectives to illuminate the challenges related to engaging historically marginalized youth in a school-based after-school program. Findings suggest that youth from marginalized backgrounds typically discuss engagement in terms of behavioral and affective experiences. Further, youth identified a few barriers to engagement, including repetition of program content and disruptive behavior. As a result of these findings, researchers suggest that practitioners integrate youth perspectives, work collaboratively to develop curriculum that fosters growth, and adopt policies and training that support staff in implementing culturally appropriate discipline approaches in after-school programs.
Seen and Heard: Learning from Young People's Experiences Sharing Power in Faith Communities
Authors: Sethi Jenna , Chamberlain Rachel , Eisenberg Clare , Roehlkepartain Eugene
Published: December 2021

Faith communities have been shown to provide a sense of belonging and community while also providing a rich environment for youth to engage and grow as leaders. Yet, few current studies have explored faith communities as spaces for sharing power and sustained youth leadership development. Using a thematic analysis approach, this qualitative study of 222 participants across Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faith communities aimed to explore the role of developmental relationships in young people's lives and their faith and spiritual development. Through the analyses, multiple and varied examples of sharing power emerged, leading us to investigate more fully the roles of leadership, engagement, and participation in young people's experiences in their faith communities. Findings demonstrated that faith communities can provide welcoming, engaging spaces for youth to have voice and develop as leaders. Youth across faith communities experienced authentic opportunities to build and apply leadership skills. These experiences led to positive youth outcomes, including increased confidence, building relational skills, feelings of belonging, and greater engagement. Findings from this study can inform youth development programs more broadly by illuminating concrete ways adults and youth can share power, leading to young people’s sense of engagement and belonging.
Sociopolitical Participation Among Marginalized Youth: Do Political Identification and Ideology Matter?
Authors: Marchand Aixa D. , Frisby Michael , Kraemer Maura R. , Mathews Channing J. , Diemer Matthew A. , Voight Adam M.
Published: December 2021

Engaging youth in the political system has promise for creating social change and ensuring the future of our democracy. Sociopolitical participation—individual and/or collective action to facilitate change—may be biased towards more liberal or Democratic views, which emphasize reform to create social equity. The aim of this study is to test if youth who vary in political ideology (i.e., conservative, liberal) and political identification (i.e., Republican, Democrat) participate at different levels and whether this measurement of sociopolitical participation is in fact biased. These issues were examined among 237 youth attending a large Midwestern high school who generally identified with historically marginalized groups. Results suggest that youth identifying as Republican exhibited slightly higher levels of participation, and that items were not biased by political ideology or identification. Further, political ideology and identification explained less than 5% of the variance in sociopolitical action, suggesting it is largely independent of political leaning.
Silence is Not an Option: Oral History of Race in Youth Development Through the Words of Esteemed Black Scholars
Authors: Harris Keshia L. , Outley Corliss
Published: December 2021

The study of race has been silenced in many areas of science including youth development research. We present this commentary in response to an invitation to address the impact of racism on the field of youth development for the Journal of Youth Development. Through oral history narratives, the paper synthesizes an antiracist agenda from the perspectives of 6 Black scholars: Tabbye Chavous, Michael Cunningham, Davido Dupree, Leoandra Onnie Rogers, Stephanie Rowley, and Robert Sellers. The narratives depict each scholar’s perspective on race research that informs youth-serving programs and the study of race in research of children and adolescents, particularly Black children. We selected scholars based on their commitment to supporting research that helps children of color thrive, and who have in-depth knowledge about racist ideologies and practices that have persisted since the inception of the science of youth development. Each scholar offered thoughtful critiques regarding racially biased measures and methodologies, the problematic use of deficit-oriented language, and the challenges that scholars of color encounter with advancing in the field. While the scholars expressed a consensus that the field has struggled to name racism in research and practice, they share hope in the complexity of future race research and practice that centers culture and context in youth development studies and programs.
Is Disruptive Innovation Impacting You?
Authors: Harries Kia
Published: December 2021

The intersection of leadership and innovation has led to disruptions in our lives from technology to social media and beyond. To a leader, the disruptions occur from new technology, situations like the pandemic, and how society puts things in motion. Innovations occur because of the ideas and questions that are shared. How you as a leader, a youth worker, or a community member, respond to the disruptions and innovations often impacts how you manage changes that occur in your work.
Towards A Pedagogy of Transnational Feminism When Teaching and Activism Go Online
Authors: Snyder Cara K. , González Sabrina
Published: December 2021

This article explores the possibilities and limitations of online teaching, based on our experience transforming a study abroad program to Argentina into an online class, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and uprisings for racial justice. In a moment when radical educators and activists are moving online, the article considers the spatial politics involved in teaching about protest and resistance online, and in establishing transnational solidarities between U.S. and Latin American scholars, artists, activists, and students. We introduce the theory and practice of a trasnational feminist pedagogy that incorporates embodied knowledge, fosters transnational collaborations, and promotes liberatory learning practices. Drawing on autoethnography, participant observation, visual and media analysis, student interaction with course materials, and interviews with transnational feminist scholars, we investigate how educators and students adapt their teaching and learning practices to an online environment. Transnational feminist pedagogy is a flexible method that allows for transformative teaching, is attentive to power dynamics in and out of the classroom, and maintains commitments to antiracist, feminist and socialist pedagogy.
Mobility and accessibility paradigms in Dutch policies: An empirical analysis
Authors: Akse Ruben , Thomas Tom , Geurs Karst
Published: December 2021

To promote sustainable urban development, transport policies need to change from a car-oriented mobility planning paradigm to an accessibility-based paradigm, integrating land-use and transport policies. This paper uses the concept of planning paradigms to describe the current status of municipal transport planning and problem framing. The dominant transport planning paradigm of 172 Dutch municipalities is determined, based on a conceptual framework with 24 mobility and accessibility planning criteria. Statistical analysis is then conducted to find linkages between the planning paradigm and transport, land-use, and institutional characteristics of the municipalities. We show that the mobility planning paradigm still dominates Dutch municipal transport planning, and the accessibility planning paradigm is mostly found in large cities and highly urban municipalities. However, we do find indications of slow change in the transport planning paradigms in Dutch municipalities, as older policy documents are more (car) mobility focused than newer policy documents. Further research is necessary to examine the evolution of the paradigm shift in municipal transport planning over time and what factors promote the realization of such a paradigm shift.
Contextual factors as an analytical tool: Exploring collaboration and negotiation in mental health interviews in prisons mediated by non-professional interpreters
Authors: Martínez-Gómez Aída
Published: December 2021

This article proposes a framework for analysing interpreted events mediated by non-professionals. It is based on an examination of individual contextual factors rather than on traditional definitions of setting-based features. This approach promises to be more productive for the study of non-professional interpreting and for analysing contexts that do not fit into existing categories of setting. For these purposes, this article examines a corpus of 26 prison-based mental health interviews mediated by non-professional interpreters in order to analyse the collaboration and negotiation processes that emerge among the members of the communicative triad. First, it outlines contextual factors from a conceptual perspective. Second, it describes those contextual factors that are most relevant to analysing collaboration and negotiation processes. Finally, it describes the context of prison-based mental health interviews through the lens of these factors and examines their influence on specific instances of collaboration and negotiation extracted from this corpus.
Simulating the context of interpreter-mediated social work interactions via interprofessional education
Authors: Hlavac Jim , Saunders Bernadette
Published: December 2021

Interpreters and social workers frequently work together. They share some common goals and there is some similarity between the ethical guidelines that both professions follow. Despite this, interpreter-mediated social work encounters are rarely described, especially from the perspective of interpreting studies. Even more infrequent are studies that focus on trainee interpreters’ and social workers’ engagement in interprofessional education (IPE). Details of the design and delivery of IPE training sessions for interpreting and social work students, at Monash University from May 2017 to May 2019, are provided. The sessions featured two role-plays that simulated typical interactions in which interpreters and social workers work together. To assess the effectiveness of the IPE training in meeting both general and specific learning outcomes, three research questions were posed and the responses are reported in this article. The questions relate to the reported usefulness of role-plays in enabling the acquisition of desirable skills and knowledge; an increase in the level of knowledge of the other professional group, one’s own group and the perceived benefits for service-users; and the usefulness of pre- and post-interactional activities, such as briefing and debriefing. Responses to questionnaires were received from 218 of the 442 participating students. On a Likert scale with five gradings the average levels of agreement regarding the usefulness of role-plays are high, as are the levels of agreement about increases in knowledge of the other professional group and those of the students’ own professional group. The student informants reported that the skills they gained are likely to be beneficial to clients and patients with limited English proficiency. The trainees’ responses to their pre- and post-interactional interactions show that both groups registered a high level of agreement that briefings and debriefings are useful.
Narratives in conflict and the limits on the interpreter’s agency: A case study from the UN Peacekeeping mission in Lebanon
Authors: Moreno-Bello Yolanda
Published: December 2021

This article presents a socio-linguistic analysis of interpreting in conflict zones and paints a picture of the limits on the interpreter’s agency when working in the field. It focuses on the interpreter’s behaviour towards cultural and linguistic barriers in communication between foreign military personnel and the civilian population in Lebanon. The aim is to analyse the level of agency that the interpreter has when working in a military deployment, taking into account the context and the narrative features that require mediation. Data were gathered through interviews with interpreters in Lebanon and analysed by applying narrative theory. Knowing and appreciating both the theoretical context and the linguistic and cultural barriers identified through the analysis are fundamental to understanding the difficult role that the interpreter-mediator plays in conflict settings and to reflecting on interpreter training that is appropriate to this context.
What do codes of ethics tell us about impartiality, and what is preferred at the hospital?
Authors: Duman Duygu (Curum)
Published: December 2021

The impartiality of the interpreter has long been an important aspect of and an indispensable quality in healthcare interpreting. Official documents on professional ethics created by professional associations around the world refer to impartiality among the fundamental ethical principles to be adhered to. However, the conditions in the workplace and the background of the interpreter might pose significant risks to ensuring the implementation and adoption of ethics in the field. Furthermore, specific conditions of immigration and the quality (or the existence) of interpreter training in the required language combinations may play a role in either facilitating or impeding the implementation of ethical principles. As a country that has been receiving migrants for a relatively short time, Turkey lacks a code of ethics specifically drawn up for healthcare (or community) interpreters and this may well lead to problems in the field. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to compare healthcare interpreters’ understanding of, preference for and exercise of impartiality with the prescripts of the codes applicable in other countries and to demonstrate how the principle of impartiality unfolds in healthcare contexts. The results of the study demonstrate that helping the patient was the main motivation of the interpreters in the field rather than being guided purely by impartiality. They reported being deliberately on the patient’s side to support them and to ensure that they obtained the required treatment, an approach which contradicts the codes of the associations in the countries that prefer “interpreting” rather than “mediation”. The analysis pointed to the fact that the meaning of impartiality is shaped by the system in which it is laid down. These results suggest that the codes and the attitudes of healthcare interpreters do not coincide as regards impartiality in a country where healthcare interpreting research and practice are emerging and training opportunities are scarce. They can serve as a useful reference point for policymaking and the professionalization of healthcare interpreters.
La percepción materna/paterna del juego de niños y niñas de 5-6 años en parques infantiles. Un estudio cualitativo
Authors: Sánchez García Raúl
Published: December 2021

La cuestión del juego arriesgado en niños y niñas está tomando gran importancia tanto en el ámbito académico como en el de las políticas públicas dentro del entorno europeo. Debido a que gran parte de la actividad física que realizan los pequeños/as se desarrollan en áreas de juego tales como los parques infantiles, es necesaria una investigación sobre el juego arriesgado que acontece en tales espacios. El presente artículo propone una investigación sobre la percepción por parte de madres y padres sobre el juego arriesgado que sus hijos e hijas de 5 y 6 años de edad desarrollan en parques infantiles. Trata además de enmarcar desde una perspectiva elisiana dicha percepción dentro de procesos socio-históricos más amplios, poniendo el foco en nuestro país como representante del área europea mediterránea. Se optó por el análisis cualitativo de veinte entrevistas semiestructuradas a padres y madres. La principal conclusión del estudio es la constatación de la existencia de contradicciones y tensiones psíquicas en los progenitores respecto al juego arriesgado de los hijos e hijas. Tales contradicciones y tensiones estaban asociadas al difícil equilibrio que demandaba un control flexible de los niños y niñas en el que se requería la necesidad de dar más libertad a la vez que estar más presentes/pendientes en la vida de sus hijos.

Published: December 2021

La evidencia experimental revela que los individuos en sus elecciones se apartan de un comportamiento self-interested. Aquí se presenta un juego experimental sencillo a estudiantes de distintas carreras de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, que permite contrastar las predicciones de estos modelos canónicos, con representaciones sofisticadas de preferencias sociales. Los resultados encontrados muestran que los agentes incorporan consideraciones de equidad en sus elecciones. En particular, en el escenario considerado, el concepto de equidad parece estar íntimamente ligado al de igualdad.
Los costos de transacción en la comercialización agropecuaria: un estudio de caso
Authors: Barbero Andrea
Published: December 2021

Los fenómenos de vinculación contractual han sido un tópico fundamental en la literatura de la comercialización agropecuaria ya que las investigaciones, especialmente las relacionadas a cadenas agroalimentarias muestran formas de interacción y colaboración entre las firmas. El objetivo general de este trabajo es estudiar las formas de coordinación utilizando como marco la Teoría de los Costos de Transacción. El caso analizado es la comercialización de cebolla en la región del Valle Bonaerense del Río Colorado poniendo particular énfasis en los factores que afectan las decisiones de comercialización de los agentes que intervienen en la producción de cebolla. La hipótesis que se intenta probar es que la elección entre vender spot o utilizar una relación contractual más compleja está afectada por costos de transacción y por características propias de los productores. La evidencia empírica muestra la mayoría de los productores vendiendo en transacciones spot y el modelo empírico permite inferir que el tamaño de la empresa, la inversión en activos físicos y la capacidad de generar relaciones estables con los compradores incrementan las probabilidades de articular en transacciones más complejas, ya sea integrando las etapas posteriores o realizando acuerdos duraderos con otros eslabones de la cadena.

Oferta y demanda en el sector sanitario: un analisis desde la economia de la salud
Authors: Temporelli Karina
Published: December 2021

El análisis de la oferta y la demanda de servicios sanitarios es el paso previo para la correcta implementación de políticas sanitarias que respondan a las necesidades de la población objetivo. En el contexto del sector sanitario, estos componentes no se comportan de la misma forma que en el resto de la economía. La complejidad de la oferta sanitaria, en la que conviven instituciones públicas, privadas con objetivos de maximización de beneficios e instituciones sin fines de lucro, torna difícil definir un precio monetario único que permita una asignación correcta de recursos. Por otro lado, los problemas que se presentan en la medición de la producción dificulta la evaluación económica. Por el lado de la demanda los problemas de información, la incertidumbre y la presencia de terceros pagadores impiden que los consumidores puedan evaluar alternativas racionalmente, poniendo en muchos casos en manos de los oferentes sus decisiones de consumo. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las dificultades que plantean para el análisis económico las nociones de demanda y oferta de servicios sanitarios mostrando críticamente como la economía de la salud aborda esta problemática.

Impacto del programa de regularización migratoria 'Patria Grande' en Argentina
Authors: Perera Marcelo , Velázquez Cecilia
Published: December 2021

El programa 'Patria Grande' en Argentina otorgó a los inmigrantes indocumentados un certificado de residencia precaria, con el que pueden trabajar, estudiar, entrar y salir del país libremente. Esto podría estimular una mayor participación en el sector formal y un mayor acceso a servicios sociales respecto del que hubiese surgido en ausencia del programa. Estimamos estos efectos comparando en el tiempo a los inmigrantes elegibles con un grupo semejante pero no elegible (migrantes argentinos, que se mudaron recientemente de ciudad). Los resultados sugieren que el programa contribuyó a disminuir 13% la informalidad (vía un aumento en la probabilidad de tener derecho a jubilación y seguro de salud en el trabajo) y mejoró 7.5% el acceso a educación de los inmigrantes.
University-industry collaboration importance in innovative brazilian industrial firms: a sectorial model
Authors: Steingraber Ronivaldo , De Oliveira Goncalves Flávio
Published: December 2021

This article examines empirically the university-industry collaboration (UIC) importance in innovative

firms on Brazilian industry. This relation is considered an important tool for economic growth in innovation-led firms. It was used a hierarchical regression model for 25.667 innovative industrial firms in the year 2005, the innovation involves product, process, or organizational change. The Total Factor Productivity was introduced as independent variable, because it can be used in all firms as performance measure, and it was average centralized. The TFP is explained by firm’s internal capabilities, and in industry by the UIC importance. The found results are upward average (positive sign), and downward average (negative

sign). The sectorial impact of UIC in the TFP is positive, but near zero. The internal capabilities present exchanged signs between the firm and the industry, only innovative labor have both signs positive. The random effects identify nine industries with upward productivity gains, 8,26 % of total Brazilian industry, and these industries are traditional, low-tech intensity, only the automotive industry is medium-technology. Twenty industries have downward productivity gains, 18,35 % of total Brazilian industry, and between them are high-technology industries, as diverse capital tools, and electronics.

How to deal with f-electrons in rare-earth nitrides: a critical review of existing approaches
Authors: Lambrecht Walter
Published: December 2021

The f-electrons in the lanthanides form an open shell with localized atomic-like orbitals. The traditional approach to study such systems uses atomic multiplet theory, crystal field theory and accounts well for the magnetic moments and shape of X-ray absorption and emission spectra.[1,2] However, it does not tell us anything about how these electrons affect the other electrons in the system, such as the lanthanide d-orbitals or the nitrogen p orbitals in their nitrides. These are important to understand whether these materials are semiconductors or semimetals, to understand the hybridization effects of f-electrons with delocalized electrons in the system. The problem of how to reconcile band structure theory with the localized treatment of the f-electrons in a many-electron framework is not trivial. We review some of the existing approaches with a critical hindsight and discuss their successes and failures. One approach is to treat the open f-shell as core electrons [3,4] but which induce a spin-polarization on the other orbitals via the exchange effect. Relatedly, there are model approaches, in which the localized magnetic moments of the f-electrons are treated simply as localized spins with exchange interactions to the conduction electrons. [5] The self-interaction correction (SIC) approach is one attempt to make an orbital dependent Hamiltonian with the framework or density functional theory. [6] Another is the L(S)DA+U approach [7] in which the strong Coulomb interactions U and exchange interactions J of f-electrons are treated in a parametrized Hartree-Fock mean field treatment. But in this approach,[8-10] is the solution unique or does it depend on the initial choices of the density matrix for the f-electrons? Yet another approach is the quasi-particle self-consistent GW method, [11-15] which supposedly should describe the U and J effects via the self-energy and has no free parameters. Dynamic mean field theory using the Hubbard-I approximation[16-19] is perhaps the most sophisticated approach to bring together the atomic and band physics used so far. We will review these methods and illustrate some of their successes and shortcomings.

Authors: Powell Martine , Casey Sharon
Published: December 2021

We analysed chat log communications between 38 adult males and children who were accessed by the men via social media for sexually exploitative purposes. Our goal was to understand how sexual offenders engage with children online and the dialogue they use to elicit compliance with sexual requests. Results revealed 72 discrete linguistic tactics, contained within eight overarching dialogue-based ‘moves’. Tactics were non-sequential (ie dynamic) and focused mainly on requests for sexual activity. Three distinct subgroup patterns of tactic use were evident. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Published: December 2021

Background and anomalous levels of volume activity of radioactive gases in soil air were defined from the data of radioecological researches conducted by means of emanation survey on the territory of Kyiv. It was found that the higher and anomalous levels of volume activity of these gases are formed by fracture zones within the limits of which dangerous conditions may be formed for the inhabitants of the houses constructed above the zones. The area of the Prydniprovska part of Pechersk district of Kyiv has been researched in detail. Based on the levels of volume activity of radon and thoron this area is divided into two parts: the eastern part is radon-thoronsafe while the central and western ones, on the contrary, are dangerous. We think that it is connected with the submeridional radon-thoronbearing zone which exists due to presence of the fracture zone of the similar direction in the bowels.
L’apprendistato in Italia: una misura di politica attiva ancora poco valorizzata
Authors: D'Agostino Sandra , Vaccaro Silvia
Published: December 2021

Da qualche anno l'Italia punta sull'apprendistato quale misura di politica attiva finalizzata a favorire la transizione scuola-lavoro dei giovani. In particolare, l'interesse si è concentrato sulle forme di apprendistato legate ai titoli di studio, ispirate alle migliori esperienze europee. L'analisi dell'evoluzione del sistema duale in Francia, Germania, Austria e Svizzera fornisce importanti indicazioni su come orientare gli interventi; l'analisi dell'esperienza italiana mostra alcune fragilità del disegno di policy e consente di avanzare delle proposte di miglioramento.
Ethical Repetitions: Rhetorical Imitation and/as Algorithmic Judgment
Authors: Breece Matthew J.
Published: December 2021

In order to explore the possibilities of affirmative ethics and algorithmic judgment, this article puts machinic rhetoric in conversation with classical imitation pedagogy. Taking a machine-learning chatbot as my example, I examine how imitation and repetition in a restrictive economy of rhetorical models produces a limited affirmative ethics through dialectical relations. Drawing on Hannah Arendt's concept of representative thinking to theorize a procedure for algorithmic judgment, I argue that rhetorical training requires the affirmation of a plurality of models if it is to generate not only versatility but also ethical repetitions.
Treatment and main complications of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: a literature review
Authors: Gonçalo Ana Clara Mota , Castro Kaline dos Santos Kishishita
Published: December 2021

Background: Greek, the word sklerosis means hardening. In medicine, the term sclerosis refers to the stiffening of body tissues - scars. These scars (sclerosis), when located in motor neurons, are signs of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that affects neurons located in the primary motor cortex, brain stem, spinal cord and pyramidal tract. ALS has no cure and its treatment options are currently limited. Objectives: Review on the major complications of ALS, as well as the therapeutic methods for its treatment. Methods: Study conducted trough articles found on The New English Journal of Medicine, SpringerLink and Scholar Google and dated between 2009 and 2021. Results: ALS is known for the gradual atrophy of the muscle fibers associated with muscle loss, dysarthria and dysphagia complicated by sialorrhea, depending on the condition. All forms of the disease lead to paralysis, which causes the main consequent complication for the early mortality of patients - respiratory failure. The treatment of ALS has only one specific approved drug: riluzole, which decreases motor neuron damage, reducing disease progression and increasing patient survival. New therapeutic methods are being studied, such as treatment with stem cells and STING- induced inflammation, but they remain with limited evidence. Conclusions: ALS still has extremely restricted targeted treatment. There’s evident need for further studies aimed at a greater understanding of therapies with the potential to become effective in delaying the progression of the disease.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and degenerative motor disease of the nervous system. Symptoms are variable, the main one being muscle weakness. Treatment is based on medication and monitoring by a multidisciplinary team to maintain quality of life (QoL) and autonomy. There are barriers, like mobility, and telehealth (TH) can be a possibility of care. Objectives: To identify evidence of the use of TH in patients with ALS to improve symptoms and QoL. Design and settings: Study carried out at Centro Universitario São Camilo. Methodology: Literature review in the PubMed, Lilacs and PEDro, between 2011 and 2021, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, with “ALS”, “telemedicine”, “TH”. Results: Of the 14 studies found, 13 were selected after review. The majority (93%) made use of video and telephone calls for monitoring and new orientations, after face-to-face evaluation; but all showed the possibility of remote assessment, associated or no with technological resources (such apps, accelerometers, smartwatches). 31% of the studies reported indication of TH for respiratory care in critically ill patients. In general, 93% of the papers demonstrated that TH brought benefits in maintaining QoL and improving respiratory parameters. Conclusion: Use of TH in patients with ALS seems to be to viable, safe and beneficial for assessment and monitoring, especially in advanced stages and for respiratory symptoms.
Conus medullaris syndrome caused by spinal cord schistosomiasis: case report
Authors: Dias Mariana de Souza , Vasconcelos Matheus Felipe de Souza
Published: December 2021

Background: Neuroschistosomiasis is a rare but severe complication of schistosomiasis that is often underdiagnosed and can affect both the brain and the spinal cord. CNS involvement occurs during hepato-intestinal or intestinal phase of the disease, when the Schistosoma eggs or adult worms reach the vertebral venous plexuses via Batson plexuses. Objective: To report a case of a patient with conus medullaris syndrome caused by spinal cord schistosomiasis whose symptoms had great improvement after undergoing treatment with praziquantel and prednisone. Case report: A 45-year-old woman, from Bahia, Brazil, with no significant medical history, presented with intense pain in her legs from knees below, associated with progressive loss of strength, tingling and dysesthesias in both lower limbs, causing gait impairment followed by urinary retention. At physical examination, grade III paraparesis in proximal limbs and grade IV in distal limbs and unsteady dysbasic gait were observed, no meningeal signs were found. MRI study revealed hyperintense signal in medulla at the level of T12-L1 to conus medullaris in T2 sequences, mainly on central portions and medulla, also slight impregnation with gadolinium showing dotted pattern was observed, suggestive findings of inflammatory myelitis. KatoKatz test was performed evidencing Schistosoma eggs. After diagnosis, patient was treated with prednisone and praziquantel for 5 weeks. At the end the of treatment, she has showed progressive improvement of her symptoms. In our last evaluation, the patient showed a great recovery of movement and strength, now grade IV in proximal limbs and grade V in distal limbs as well as a steadier gait. Urinary retention is still present, and she still needs intermittent catheterization for the time being Conclusion: Neuroschistosomiasis, when symptomatic, is a severe disorder in which can cause significant incapacity and morbidity. It is an underdiagnosed disorder but has been increasingly reported in populations in endemic areas and in tourists. Prognosis depends largely on early diagnosis and treatment.
