EL TRABAJO DOCENTE DURANTE LA DICTADURA CÍVICO-MILITAR EN CHILE (1973-1990): UNA MIRADA DESDE LAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EDUCACIONALES
Authors: Garrido Felipe Andres Zurita
Published: April 2020

RESUMEN Se presentan resultados de una investigación doctoral que tuvo como objetivo analizar la Política Pública Educacional referida al trabajo docente construida por la Dictadura Cívico-Militar en Chile (1973-1990). Se trabajó con hipótesis que resaltaron la importancia que el régimen otorgó al profesorado mediante regulaciones jurídicas y acciones represivas. Se contó con aportaciones teóricas de A. Gramsci y E. P. Thompson, las que facilitaron el trabajo de interrogación de diferentes fuentes, privilegiando entre estas la legislación e informes de derechos humanos. Las conclusiones confirman las hipótesis planteadas y agregan elementos nuevos que invitan a revisitar las transformaciones realizadas en este periodo sobre la actividad del profesorado y el sistema educativo chileno en general.
O ENCONTRO DAS LINHAS: CIDADE DE ARACAJU E GRUPOS ESCOLARES (1914-1925)
Authors: Lapa Dayse Araujo , Amorim Simone Silveira
Published: April 2020

Resumo Este artigo desvela aspectos da história da educação e os inter-relaciona com a cidade, suas tramas e estratégias de circulação e ocupação do espaço urbano para, a partir dessas linhas, perceber a cidade e seus condicionantes que se entreteceram na estruturação e institucionalização da escola pública primária, na modalidade Grupo Escolar. A transformação gerada, para poucos, pela construção e inauguração dessas instituições em Aracaju, com seus exuberantes edifícios ecléticos, em contraste com muitas ruas de terra batida e moradias de casas simples, é a face mais visível para criar a identidade dessa escola idealizada pela República.
A SÉRIE DE LIVROS DE LEITURA PARA A AMÉRICA LATINA NO CONTEXTO DA POLÍTICA DO INSTITUTE OF INTER-AMERICAN AFFAIRS (USA)
Authors: Peres Eliane
Published: April 2020

Resumo Este artigo analisa uma série de livros de leitura produzida nos anos de 1940, no contexto da política norte-americana para a América Latina, conhecida como “Política da Boa Vizinhança”. A produção desses livros resultou de um acordo assinado, em 1944, entre a Divisão de Educação do então denominado Inter-American Educational Foundation, Inc., (renomeado, em 1947, como Institute of Inter-American Affairs, IIAA) e o Ministério da Educação da Guatemala. O objetivo era, contudo, que essa série fosse usada nos demais países da América do Sul e da América Central. A análise dos sete livros evidencia que havia uma estreita correlação entre os conteúdos neles apresentados e os objetivos dos programas de cooperação, revelando nitidamente uma intencionalidade civilizatória dos Estados Unidos para com os países da América Latina.

LA EDUCACIÓN EPISTOLAR: los intercambios de cartas entre mujeres burguesas como fuente de desarrollo personal en la inglaterra victoriana
Authors: Simon-Martin Meritxell
Published: April 2020

Resumen Este artículo examina la correspondencia personal de tres mujeres inglesas burguesas, Anna Mary Howitt, Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon y Bessie Rayner Parkes, como fuentes de desarrollo personal. A partir del concepto de ‘educación epistolar’ (SIMON-MARTIN, 2016, 2016a, 2020), este artículo explora la carta como instrumento educativo en el sentido del término neohumanista alemán Bildung (formación a lo largo de la vida), y sugiere que estas tres amigas no sólo reflexionaron sobre temas como el amor y el matrimonio a través de las cartas sino también concertaron acuerdos con sus pretendientes y familiares que respectaran sus necesidades matrimoniales y sus expectativas profesionales. Paralelamente, este articulo incluye una breve reflexión epistemológica sobre cómo abordar la cuestión del ‘silencio archivístico’, dado que se basa en gran medida en el análisis de la voz epistolar de Bessie únicamente.
Los seniors en la publicidad española: tensiones entre la investigación, planificación y la representación de los mayores en los anuncios
Authors: Fernández José Berenguel , Sáez Víctor Manuel Marí , Hurtado Javier Gallardo
Published: April 2020

El presente artículo analiza las continuidades y discontinuidades que se producen entre la investigación, la planificación de medios y la construcción de las representaciones sobre los mayores en la publicidad española. El estudio, centrado en los anuncios sobre envejecimiento, mayores y salud, se ha implementado desde una triangulación metodológica que incluye técnicas como el análisis del discurso, la encuesta y la revisión de literatura sobre segmentación publicitaria. Las conclusiones apuntan a una restricción de las representaciones puestas en juego en los anuncios respecto a la diversidad planteada por los profesionales y en la literatura científica. Se plantea el reto de superar las visiones excesivamente individualistas del mayor y de la gestión de su salud, al tiempo que emerge como alternativa la concepción de la salud como un espacio simbólico de conflicto y negociación.
O papel da argumentação em processos deliberativos nas instâncias de controle social do Sistema Único de Saúde
Authors: Lima Juliano de Carvalho
Published: April 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir teoricamente o papel da argumentação nos processos deliberativos que se dão no interior das instâncias colegiadas de controle social do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Baseia-se em uma leitura dos processos de participação social em saúde a partir da Teoria do Agir Comunicativo e localiza a deliberação pública dentro de um arcabouço dialógico de oferecer e receber razões para justificar posições a partir de argumentos. Defende-se que a argumentação é constitutiva da deliberação na medida em que a qualidade da primeira influencia a qualidade da segunda. Apresentam-se duas grandes correntes contemporâneas da teoria da argumentação, a Pragma-Dialética e a Nova Retórica. Defende-se uma combinação das duas abordagens como ferramenta para a compreensão dos determinantes comunicativos da deliberação e, consequentemente, para melhor entendimento das escolhas feitas no processo de formulação e implantação de políticas públicas de saúde.

Geografias corporais: dança, corpo e deficiência
Authors: Gilbert Ana Cristina Bohrer , Kellerman Paulo
Published: April 2020

O projeto Geografias Corporais resulta de uma parceria entre dança, fotografia e literatura, entre artistas do Brasil e de Portugal, entre academia e arte. São narrativas imagéticas e literárias em torno do diálogo entre múltiplas corporeidades, com o intuito de desestabilizar a ideia de corpo normal como universal. Surge do interesse em analisar como corpos normativos e não normativos experienciam a dança como forma de habitar suas geografias corporais e de definir seus contornos físicos, psíquicos e discursivos na relação entre movimento e imobilidade. O trabalho foi realizado com participantes do grupo Te Encontro Lá no Cacilda, em 2018, configurando uma pesquisa artística. As narrativas de corporeidade produzidas ao dançar foram captadas e traduzidas em fotografias, configurando textos visuais que, posteriormente, somados a conversas entre fotógrafa e escritor, serviram de base para a criação de textos ficcionais.
A new species of Cruzia (Ascaridida; Kathlanidae) parasitizing Salvator merianae (Squamata, Teiidae) from the Atlantic forest in Brazil
Authors: Vieira Fabiano Matos , Gonçalves Paula Araujo , Lima Sueli de Souza , Sousa Bernadete Maria de , Muniz-Pereira Luís Cláudio
Published: April 2020

Abstract Cruzia lauroi sp. nov. is described from Salvator merianae (Duméril & Bibron, 1839) (Squamata; Teiidae). The new species differs from all previously described species through several morphological characteristics: number of tooth like structures per row in the inner pharynx; and presence of unpaired papillae on the anterior border of the cloacal aperture. However, Cruzia lauroi sp. nov. is closest to C. tentaculata (Rudolphi, 1819), through having similar distribution of male caudal papillae, unpaired pre-cloacal papillae and females with an pre-equatorial vulva. Cruzia lauroi sp. nov. differs from C. tentaculata regarding smaller total body length of individuals, higher number of tooth like structures per row in the pharynx, greater size of diverticulum, smaller size of spicules and a more anterior vulva than in C. tentaculata; and the males do not have caudal alae. Cruzia mazza, C. travassosia, C. mexicana and C. testudines were considered to be species inquirendae, because their descriptions need more detailed taxonomic studies.

Abstract The present study aimed to characterize the importance of the Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in the genesis of cattle tick fever (CTF) among dairy calves in the northwest of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Blood samples from 300 calves were collected, followed by DNA extraction and nested PCR using oligonucleotide primers to amplify fragments of the semi-nested for the msp5 gene (A. marginale), sbp-4 (B. bovis) and rap-1a (B. bigemina) Among the examined calves, the prevalence of A. marginale was 55.6% (n=167/300), B. bovis was 4.0% (n=12/300) and B. bigemina was 15.3% (n=46/300), by PCR techniques. Parasitic forms of A. marginale and B. bigemina were found in 36,3% and 2,6% of the blood smears while B. bovis was not detected. There was a statistical difference between the positivity of infected animals in the age groups 1 (10-70 days) and (>70-300 days) for A. marginale and B. bigemina. A total of 15 calves with the classic symptoms of disease were examined, and the samples obtained were confirmed as a simple infection by A. marginale through semi-nested PCR. These results confirm bovine anaplasmosis as the primary cause of CTF among the calves of dairy cattle within the studied area.

Published: April 2020

Background

As neoadjuvant therapy of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) is becoming more widely used, better indicators of progression are needed to help guide therapeutic decisions.

Materials and Methods

A retrospective review was performed on all patients with BRPC who received 24 weeks of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with chemotoxicity or medical comorbidities limiting treatment completion and nonexpressors of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were excluded. Serum CA19-9 response was analyzed as a predictor of disease progression, recurrence, and survival.

Results

One hundred four patients were included; 39 (37%) progressed on treatment (18 local and 21 distant) and 65 (63%) were resected (68% R0). Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined that the percent decrease in CA19-9 from baseline to minimum value (odds ratio [OR] 0.947, p ≤ .0001) and the percent increase from minimum value to final restaging CA19-9 (OR 1.030, p ≤ .0001) were predictive of progression. A receiver operating characteristics curve analysis determined cutoff values predictive of progression, which were used to create four prognostic groups. CA19-9 responses were categorized as follows: (1) always normal (n = 6); (2) poor response (n = 31); (3) unsustained response (n = 19); and (4) sustained response (n = 48). Median overall survival for Groups 1–4 was 58, 16, 20, and 38 months, respectively (p ≤ .0001).

Conclusion

Patients with initially elevated CA19-9 levels who do not have a decline to a sustained low level are at risk for progression, recurrence, and poor survival. Alternative treatment strategies prior to an attempt at curative resection should be considered in this cohort.

Authors: Atik Derya , Güngör Songül
Published: April 2020

Introduction: The aim of this study was to the determinate adaptation to chronic disease and applications for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) care and protection of hemodialysis (HD) patients with an AVF, and to determine the relationships between adaptation and application.

Methods: This research is a prospective, descriptive, and cross-sectional type of research. The universe of the study accounted for 180 patients who underwent HD. The research was completed with 114 patients. The research was conducted from July 2019 to September 2019, in two different dialysis centers in Osmaniye Province. The data were collected using The Patient Identification Form and Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale. Mean ± Standard deviation, percentages, and independent samples t-test analysis were used.

Results: When the scale scores of the patients participating in the study were evaluated, determined to level of total adaptation with chronic disease and physical adaptation was to above the average score (40.24 ± 5.99). Social adaptation (21.82 ± 6.39) and psychological adaptation (22.91 ± 5.39) levels can be said to be moderate. Individuals who exercised with the ball to mature the fistula, who was careful to dress and keep the area dry on the 1st day of the operation, who was careful not to apply lotion to the fistula area, and who complied with the fluid restriction were found to have higher levels of adaptation with the disease.

Conclusion: It can be said that the patients who make the right application for fistula care and protection have in general adaptation levels can also be said to be high. The level of adaptation is effective for applications. The level of adaptation is effective on applications for AVF care and protection.

Published: April 2020

The study objectiveis to determine the effectiveness, safety and information content of robot-assisted implantation of deep electrodes for invasive stereoelectroencephalography (stereo-EEG) monitoring in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy.

Materials and methods.The study group included 27 patients from 2016 and 2018, who underwent a robot-assisted implantation of stereo-EEG electrodes followed by a 24-hour video-EEG monitoring. Unilateral implantation of electrodes was performed in 22 patients, bilateral – in 6 patients (in 1 patient, due to the ineffectiveness of the operation to remove the epileptogenic focus, implantation was performed twice). MRI-negative epilepsy was in 16 (59 %) patients; 11 (41 %) patients with multiple structural changes. The average time for invasive video-EEG monitoring was 96 hours (from 46 to 253 hours).

Results.Based on the information obtained during invasive monitoring, the epileptogenic zones and early distribution were verified: in the temporal lobe in 9 (33 %) patients, in the frontal lobe – 6 (22 %), in the parietal lobe – 2 (8 %), in the occipital lobe – 3 (11 %), in more than 2 lobes – 4 (15 %), in both hemispheres – 3 (11 %) patients. Nineteen (70.4 %) patients underwent surgery to remove the epileptogenic zone. In 11 (58 %) patients extratemporal resection was performed and 8 (42 %) patients underwent anterior-medial temporal and amygdal-hippocampectomy. Follow-up history of more than 6 months after removal of the epileptogenic zone detected by stereo-EEG was monitored in 13 patients. The outcomes of surgical resection were as follows: in 8 (61 %) patients – Engel I, in 1 (8 %) – Engel II, in 3 (23 %) – Engel III, in 1 (8 %) – Engel IV.

Conclusion.Robot-assisted implantation of deep electrodes for invasive stereo-EEG monitoring is a safe and effective diagnostic method in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. In patients with MRI-negative epilepsy, stereo-EEG allows to localize and determine the boundaries of the epileptogenic zone, thereby increasing the effectiveness and safety of surgical resection.

Authors: Evzikov G. Yu. , Belozerskikh K. A. , Egorov O. E. , Parfenov V. A.
Published: April 2020

The study objectiveis to compare the effectiveness of different methods of radiofrequency denervation of the sacroiliac joint (SJ): standard neurotomy (SN) of the posterior medial branch L5and lateral branches S1–S3, ligamentous neurotomy (LN) and a combination of ligamentous and standard methods – a combined neurotomy (CN).

Materials and methods.The results of the treatment of 311 patients with SJ dysfunction were analyzed. LN was perfomed in 117 patients, SN – in 102, CN – in 92. The effectiveness of SJ neurotomy was assess using the visual-analog scale (WAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) 3 days, 3, 6 and 12 months or more after denervation.

Results.The most significant improving the patient’s condition occurred after CN, the average ODI decreased from 35.14 ± 7.49 before the intervention to 22.64 ± 10.26 a year after it (p = 0.006). After SN and LN, a decrease in the degree of maladaptation occurred, respectively, from 36.00 ± 7.32 to 28.08 ± 7.03 (p = 0.021) and from 34.50 ± 6.75 to 26.45 ± 7.18 (p = 0.018). The intensity of the pain syndrome according to WAS after CN decreased from 7.2 ± 2.0 to 3.6 ± 2.5 a year after denervation (p = 0,00024). After SN and LN, a decrease in pain intensity according to WAS occurred respectively from 7.2 ± 2.0 to 4.8 ± 2.3 (p = 0.0025) and from 7.1 ± 2.3 to 5.7 ± 2.5 (p = 0.00016) a year after denervation.

Conclusion.All methods of denervation in case of defeat of SJ lead to a statistically significant decrease in pain syndrome and an improvement in the quality of life. A positive result of denervation persists for a year after the intervention. CN leads to a more significant improvement and its results exceed the results of SN and LN for most of the period of postoperative observation.

Authors: Tokarev A. S. , Rak V. A. , Gretskikh K. V. , Evdokimova O. L. , Viktorova O. A.
Published: April 2020

Treatment strategies for dural arterio-venous fistulas (DAFs) include single or multimodal schemes, including microsurgery, endovascular transarterial or transvenous embolization, or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

In the scientific medical resources, only 9 cases of bilateral DAFs of the brain are described, which required surgical intervention, and 4 were treated with endovascular or microsurgical approach; SRS was used in 5 cases, of which in 4 cases with previous or subsequent endovascular embolization.

We have presented a case of successful SRS with Gamma Knife of bilateral DAF from the branches of meningo-hypophyseal trunks from inner carotid arteries without preliminary embolization or surgical resection.

The use of SRS with Gamma Knife is possible with low-flow DAFs, as well as a part of a multimodal strategy with high-flow DAFs, which requires further study.

Authors: Paskhin D. L. , Pak V. V. , Mironkov A. B. , Asratyan S. А. , Shurygin S. N.
Published: April 2020

The objective is to describe the case of successful endovascular treatment of residual chronic subdural hematoma.

Clinical case. Patient A., 77 years old, was admitted to the hospital with a directional diagnosis of stroke. During further examination, left hemispheric chronic subdural hematoma with a volume of 100 cm3 was revealed. The patient was twice performed closed external drainage of hematoma. And for each subsequent control computed tomography studies, a residual hematoma with a volume effect on the brain was determined. Endovascular selective embolization of the left middle meningеal artery was performed. During the examination after 5 months, a complete reduction of hematoma, cerebral and focal neurological symptoms was noted.

Conclusion. Endovascular embolization of the middle meningeal artery may be a pathogenetically substantiated, minimally invasive alternative to repeated surgical interventions for residual and recurrent chronic subdural hematoma. It will be reasonable to continue research to assess the effectiveness and safety of the methodology.
Facial pain, caused by Torkildsen shunt migration
Authors: Bervitskiy A. V. , Moysak G. I. , Dmitriev A. B. , Rzaev D. A.
Published: April 2020

Introduction. The literature showed a limited number of cases of facial pain caused by pathology at the level of the craniovertebral junction, however there is no a single case of pain caused by the migration of elements of the shunt systems.

The objective is to describe a clinical case of successful surgical treatment of facial pain caused by the Torkildsen shunt migration.

Clinical case. A female patient, 58 years old, applied to the clinic complaining of constant pain with a paroxysmal component in the left part of the face and back of the skull associated with head movements. Other complaints included a headache accompanied by nausea, numbness in the limbs, instability in vertical position, urinary incontinence, abnormal proprioceptive sensitivity in the limbs. Medical history showed that in 2000 the patient underwent Torkildsen procedure (ventriculo-cisternostomy) due to occlusive hydrocephalus after a neurological infection. In 2013, due to shunt dysfunction endoscopic third ventriculostomy was performed with a good clinical effect. Deterioration started in January of 2018. At hospitalization, tomography of the brain showed migration of the distal end of the shunt into spinal matter, syringobulbia at the C1 vertebra level. No signs of neurovascular conflict of the trifacial nerves were observed. Removal of the ventriculo-cisternal shunt irritating the spinal nucleus of the trifacial nerve was performed. In the postoperative period, intensity of the paroxysmal component of facial pain decreased. At day 5 after surgery, the patient was discharged in a satisfactory state. For 1 year and 6 months after the surgery, facial pain has been absent. Manifestations of hydrocephalus and spinal disorder (numbness of the limbs, instability, urinary incontinence) persist, but due to the patient’s compensated state, negative result of the tap-test, signs of functional third ventriculostomy, it was decided to abstain from further interventions.

Conclusion. This clinical case demonstrated successful treatment of facial pain developed due to a rare cause – migration of a Torkildsen shunt that currently is rarely encountered.
Surgical treatment of Lhermitte–Duclos disease (dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum)
Authors: Bimurzin A. A. , Kalinovsky A. V.
Published: April 2020

The study objective is to describe a clinical case of a rare disorder of the cerebellum, Lhermitte–Duclos disease.

Clinical case. The Federal Neurosurgical Center (Novosibirsk) admitted a male patient, 40 years old. Medical history showed that in 2017 he underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt due to hypertensive hydrocephalus syndrome caused by space-occupying mass of the right hemisphere of the cerebellum. In June of 2017, the patient was consulted by a neurosurgeon. Later, an increase in the mass, partial atrophy of the optic disks were observed. Due to the patient’s complaints of headache, ataxia, vertigo, as well as insufficient effect of the shunt, microsurgical removal of the space-occupying mass in the cerebellum by right paramedian suboccipital craniotomy was performed. Gangliocytoma removal was performed under constant neurophysiological control which allowed to fully resect the gangliocytoma inside intact brain tissue. Histological and immunohistological examinations allowed to diagnose grade I dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum (Lhermitte–Duclos disease). In the postoperative period, brain symptoms regressed fully, vestibulocerebellar syndrome persisted. The patient was discharged in satisfactory condition. No negative dynamics were observed in 7 months of follow-up.

Conclusion. Due to the rareness of Lhermitte–Duclos disease, currently there are no established approaches to treatment, however, in symptomatic course there are indications for surgical removal of the gangliocytoma. Radicality of resection should be correlated with the risk of neurological defects. In our case, surgical treatment allowed to improve the patient’s condition, prevent further progression of the gangliocytoma and obtain an accurate histological diagnosis.
Regenerative treatment of spinal cord injury. Literature review. Part 4
Authors: Smirnov V. A. , Grin A. A.
Published: April 2020

Treating traumatic spinal cord injuries is one of the most complicated and relevant problems in the modern medicine. In the vast majority of cases spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to persistent disability, with medical, social and economic consequences ensuing for the patient, the family and the state. Modern SCI therapy has a very limited effectiveness and does not allow to sufficiently restore the lost functions of central nervous system. Regenerative methods and particularly cell therapy are very promising to effectively treat SCI. The review highlights SCI epidemiological and pathogenetic problems, existing therapy, as well as promising methods of regenerative therapy. We emphasize the results of preclinical and clinical studies in the field of cell therapy. The review is divided into 4 parts. In part 4, the use of human cord blood cells in SCI is discussed, in particular, the advantages of this type of therapy are considered, the composition of the cord blood cell mixture is described, and the results of preclinical and clinical studies are reported.

The United States and global regulation of convertible virtual currencies
Authors: Maggs P.
Published: April 2020

The regulation of convertible virtual currencies (for instance Bitcoin) is an area both of global cooperation and global competition. On the one hand, virtual currencies create serious problems of payment for illegal transactions, money laundering, tax evasion, and consumer fraud. On the other hand such currencies, have the potential to lower the costs of commercial and consumer transactions and to facilitate international trade. Both dealing with the problems and realizing the potential of virtual currencies require international cooperation.There is no uniformity in national legislation on virtual currency. A recent survey of over 100 countries showed a wide variation in both the amount and methods of regulation 2 . While, at this stage, experimentation with various types of regulation may help discover better ways to deal with this currency, on the other hand, there is a real danger that some countries will be come unregulated virtual currency havens where the worst aspects of virtual currency can flourish.This article will look at United States law, and also at existing and needed international cooperation in the areas of taxation, investor protection, consumer protection, monetary regulation, and crime prevention.
Nature of new power of supervision and judicial supervision
Authors: Liu Mingyu
Published: April 2020

The article provides an overview of the reform of the surveillance system in the People’s Republic of China. The establishment of the supervisory commission is conducive to the integration and optimization of anticorruption forces and building up a centralized, unified, authoritative and efficient supervision system. However, the anti-corruption mechanism has also moved towards centralized from decentralized, and the mixture of powers with diﬀerent natures has increased risks and uncertainties in the process of supervision. On the one hand, the balance of legal powers among state organs is touched; on the other hand, it is not conducive to the protection of rights of the investigated.

BackgroundCognitive impairment and dementia are some of the major health concerns in the aging population. Many studies showed positive effects of physical exercise in delaying or preventing these conditions. Brain Gym ® exercises is a structured aerobic exercise involving head, eyes and crossing movements of the extremities in order to stimulate both brain hemispheres. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Brain Gym ® exercises sessions on cognitive function and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the elderly.MethodsA non-blinded randomized controlled study involving 64 healthy women aged >60 years who were randomized into Brain Gym ® exercises treatment group (n=32) and control group (n=32). Treatment group joined 60 minutes of brain gym exercises sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. The measured outcomes were cognitive function (assessed by mini-mental state examination [MMSE] questionnaire) and plasma BDNF levels. The outcomes were measured at base-line and after the intervention. An independent t-test was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe BDNF levels were increased in both groups after 12 weeks, and there was a significant difference between treatment group (41.26 ± 6,82 ng/mL) and control group (37.10 ± 8.11 ng/mL)(p=0.040). However, the MMSE score was not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.200).ConclusionBrain Gym ® exercises sessions significantly increase plasma BDNF level in the elderly population. In practical terms, we may suggest evaluation of the effects of Brain Gym ® exercises as a strategy in the treatment of disorders associated with central degenerative changes.

BACKGROUNDMicroalbuminuria is the earliest evidence of diabetic nephropathy and a major predictor of end stage renal disease (ESRD). The objective of the study was to determine the influence of several risk factors on the presence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetics.METHODSThis observational cross-sectional study was done on 73 patients with type 2 diabetes, who attended the Prolanis program in Primary Health Care from May to November 2018. Detailed medical histories including duration of diabetes and relevant clinical examinations including fasting blood sugar (FBS), post-prandial blood sugar (PPBS), HbA1c, serum creatinine, blood urea and urinary microalbumin were recorded for each patient. A multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The analysis was assessed at 5% level of significance.RESULTSMean age of study population was 51.89 ± 6.78 years with female preponderance (51.1%). Mean FBS, PPBS, HbA1c, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, microalbuminuria and serum creatinine was 182.51 ± 74.63 mg/dL, 186.25 ± 26.72 mg/dL, 8.8 ± 1.83%, 9.37 ± 5.96 years, 118.44 ± 4.13 mmHg, 30.32 ± 3.2 mg/day and 1.33 ± 0.64 mg/dL respectively. Duration of diabetes and HbA1c were positively correlated with microalbuminuria (â=0.052; Beta =0.367; p<0.001 and â=0.058; Beta=0.363; p<0.001) respectively.CONCLUSIONSDuration of diabetes was the most important risk factor of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes patients. Therefore microalbuminuria can predict diabetic nephropathy earlier, as a warning to prevent further worsening of diabetic complications.

BackgroundMenopause is associated with changes in metabolic profile. Although hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been shown to have beneficial effects on lipid metabolism, its adverse effects have indicated a need for alternative estrogen-based treatments. Several investigations have evaluated the effects of isoflavones on serum lipid levels in postmenopausal women, but the results were ambiguous. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of dietary daidzein, genistein, and glycitein levels with lipid profile in postmenopausal women.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 186 post-menopausal women. A food recall questionnaire was used to measure dietary genistein, daidzein, and glycitein levels. Serum total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triacylglycerol (TAG) were measured using the enzymatic colorimetric method. Simple and multivariate linear regression were used to analyze the data.ResultsGenistein intake was significantly associated with TC (b=145.48, p=0.023) and HDL cholesterol levels (b=48.80, p=0.032). Daidzein intake was significantly associated with TC (b=-204.60, p=0.003), LDL cholesterol (b=-160.81, p=0.014) and HDL cholesterol levels (b=-67.118, p=0.032). Glycitein was not significantly associated with TC (b=232.78;p=0.133), HDL (b=43.59;p=0.428), and LDL (b=235.84;p=0.116). Dietary daidzein had a more lowering effect on TC (Beta=-2.80) and HDL cholesterol (Beta=-2.67) than had genistein on TC (Beta=2.66) and HDL cholesterol (Beta=2.03).ConclusionsHigh dietary daidzein level has a significant lowering effect on TC, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol in post-menopausal women. Our study supports the advice given to the public to increase soy isoflavone intake in post-menopausal women.

BACKGROUND Scabies is a World Health Organization neglected tropical disease common in children in low-and middle-income countries. The prevalence of scabies, especially in tropical countries, is still quite high at more than 200 million cases per year. Transmission of scabies is predominantly via skin-to-skin contact. The purpose of the study was to determine the epidemiology of clinical scabies among schoolchildren and spatial modeling using geographic information systems (GIS).METHODSA study of unmatched case-control design with a ratio of 1: 1 was performed to identify specific risk factors of scabies. Cases were patients with clinical scabies and controls were healthy people in the area. A total of 100 students were involved in the study. Simple and multiple logistic regression was used to test any association between the variables. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) modeling was used to determine the spatial distribution of clinical scabies based on 69 cases.RESULTThere was a significant association between the level of environmental sanitation and the prevalence of clinical scabies (OR = 2.53;95% C.I. 1.11-5.74). Multivariate analysis showed that the level of environmental sanitation was significant (AOR = 3.05;95% C.I. 1.19-7.81). Risk factors for developing clinical scabies increased to 3 times after considering other risk factors, namely gender, age group and respondent education level. Analysis of average nearest neighbor distance showed that the spatial distribution of clinical scabies was clustered. CONCLUSIONSThe distribution of clinical scabies was spatial clustering, and prediction of transmission in a clockwise direction with Southeast and Northwest ellipses.

Research on the speech act of compliment is abundant; however, studies on the characteristics of compliments in Turkish, in general, and in Turkish TV dramas, in particular, are scarce. Therefore, to fill this research gap, the present study set out to investigate the use of compliments in a popular Turkish soap opera. To achieve the purposes of this research, thirty-two episodes of a TV drama called Sahra were selected at random to be viewed and analyzed while focusing on the topics, functions, and characteristics of compliments with reference to the role of gender. Four main topics and functions, and two major characteristics of Turkish compliments emerged from the analysis of the data. Similarities and differences were also found in the use of compliments in Turkish and other languages. The findings may have implications for research on speech acts, in general, and complimenting behavior in TV dramas, in particular.Keywords: Turkish compliments; TV drama; elaboration; exaggeration; gender

This paper describes sensitive ascorbic acid (AA) determination on montmorillonite clay and silk protein sericin nanocomposite (MMT-Ser NC) modified pencil graphite electrode (PGE) for the first time. Nanocomposite structures were synthesized by desolvation technique and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (GA). The synthesized MMT-Ser NC was evaluated by various methods. As a result of the characterization studies, it was determined that the sericin was successfully converged with the montmorillonite structure, and that the MMT-Ser NCs were homogeneous and uniform, with the size of 150 nm and zeta potentials of approximately -27.6 mV. MMT-Ser NC modified electrodes were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Under the optimized conditions, working linear range for the modified sensor was found as 10-1000 µM with square wave voltammetry and the limit of detection (LOD) was found as 8 µM. The relative standard deviation for reproducibility was calculated as % 4.82 (n=6). Real sample analysis was performed with drug samples and the recovery values ranged from 94.64% to 111.2%.
