Published: December 2022

A pandemia da Covid-19 intensificou a necessidade do uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) em todos setores do escopo social. Para muitas pessoas, após o início da pandemia, os atos de estudar, trabalhar, comprar e apenas se comunicar, aconteceram somente através do acesso à internet. No entanto, a disponibilidade de conectividade, principalmente via internet, não é distribuída de forma homogênea aos que dependem dela para executar suas atividades. Neste sentido, este trabalho tem o objetivo de fazer refletir sobre as transformações ocorridas na sociedade da informação a partir da globalização e que foram intensificadas pela pandemia da COVID-19, com enfoque no acesso às TIC´s pelas famílias agricultoras. Para isso, foi realizada revisão de literatura buscando fundamentações teóricas e dados secundários para buscar entender como está sendo o acesso às TIC´s pela agricultura familiar. Os resultados demonstraram que, historicamente, o desenvolvimento foi pensado a partir dos países mais desenvolvidos, dando ênfase às regiões urbanas, enquanto o rural sofre com a falta de assistência há tempos. Nesse momento pandêmico, é um dos grupos sociais que mais enfrenta dificuldades no acesso às TIC´s, o que se amplia quando se trata de famílias pertencentes a classes sociais vulneráveis. Por isso, é importante o Estado pensar em estratégias para melhorar a conectividade rural e possibilitar que estas famílias, especialmente aquelas em situação de pobreza, tenham acesso à internet de boa qualidade.

Authors: Monteiro Felipe Sávio Cardoso Teles , Cabral Alexandre Marques de
Published: December 2022

O principal objetivo deste trabalho é promover a discussão entre o pensamento ético de Hans Jonas, especificamente sobre o termo “Heurística do Temor” no que concerne a possibilidade para uma ética do cuidado ambiental. O filósofo Hans Jonas sustenta que a sobrevivência humana depende de nossos esforços para cuidar do nosso planeta e do seu futuro. E é esta nova óptica de responsabilidade que deve também guiar a maneira como vemos o meio ambiente, cientes da sua perenidade e reconhecendo que desconhecemos o efeito que as tecnologias de hoje terão amanhã, associar o legado de Hans Jonas, com uma nova perspectiva ambiental, conhecendo novas realidades, e discutir a subjetividade na atualidade é importante para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de equilíbrio sustentável no planeta.
Perícias em ações de indenização por acidente de trabalho
Authors: Gonçalves Fernandes Débora , Dagani Cassiane , Silva Everaldo da
Published: December 2022

O processo indenizatório por acidente de trabalho, precisa ser analisado, na maioria das vezes com minúcias fáticas, as quais, somente serão elucidadas pela prova pericial. No processo trabalhista as ações indenizatórias por acidente de trabalho e doenças laborais são muito comuns, visto que, buscam demonstrar os prejuízos sofridos pelos trabalhadores. Verifica-se que os métodos utilizados na atualidade, nem sempre estão em consonância com a necessidade factual, pois muitas vezes as dificuldades encontradas pelo judiciário, como a ausência de um bom “banco” de médicos especialistas cadastrados para atender as áreas a serem periciadas, ou ainda, de uma equipe multidisciplinar, acabam por inviabilizar uma melhor prestação jurisdicional. O objetivo geral da pesquisa não é o esgotamento da matéria, mas sim trazer à tona nuances acerca do tema, tanto um respaldo na esfera trabalhista, quanto ao que tange verificar a evolução da análise e realização da prova pericial nas demandas de acidentes de trabalho. Para tanto, foi utilizado o método dedutivo, com base em pesquisas de teses de mestrado, obras sinalizadas sobre o tema, a legislação brasileira vigente, bem como decisões provenientes do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 12ª região e pesquisas na Escola da Magistratura do Trabalho. O desfecho do artigo propõe a modernização e avanços na aplicação das perícias, especializando-as para que haja uma melhor entrega jurisdicional quando da prolação de sentenças.

Published: December 2022

Este texto busca verificar os possíveis impactos da Justiça Restaurativa na democratização do sistema jurídico-penal do Brasil e na concretização dos direitos fundamentais. Busca avaliar possíveis riscos trazidos por nossa cultura burocrática, e como livrar-se das amarras da burocracia estatal para que elas não impeçam o desenvolvimento das políticas públicas e comunitárias.  Para tanto, utiliza-se do método sistêmico de Teoria da Sociedade Niklas Luhmann, observando o ordenamento jurídico enquanto um sistema aberto e o aporte teórico da criminologia crítica, pois, há décadas denuncia a violência e a seletividade da pena criminal e a justiça restaurativa é uma possibilidade de seguimos por um horizonte mais humanizado na construção de uma justiça menos excludente e na redução de danos tanto de acusados e vítimas no sistema criminal brasileiro.
CAPITALISMO E RELAÇÃO SOCIAL: uma rediscussão
Authors: Sombra Laurenio Leite
Published: December 2022

Este artigo visa investigar, em diálogo com Marx, as relações sociais subjacentes ao capitalismo. Se considerarmos que, do ponto de vista marxiano, as classes sociais são configuradas de acordo com certo modelo histórico de propriedade, uma estratégia fundamental para essa investigação será rediscutir o conceito de propriedade, a partir do antropólogo francês Maurice Godelier. Esta rediscussão, como se verá, permite repensar as divisões sociais que se estabelecem ao longo da história, inclusive no capitalismo, permitindo caracterizar (não como um fator exógeno) divisões de gênero e raciais, por exemplo. Outro ponto fundamental será rediscutir o conceito marxiano de valor (pensado como valor produtivo-mercantil), tentando desvelar como ele já sinaliza para o modelo específico de relação social subjacente ao capitalismo e como aponta para uma transformação profunda nas relações humanas e nas relações com a natureza. Finalmente, o artigo busca pensar quais os desafios que o capitalismo impõe ao próprio destino da humanidade.
AUTOGESTÃO COMUNITÁRIA COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE DEFESA DAS ÁGUAS: UMA REVISITAÇÃO CRÍTICA DA TEORIA DOS COMUNS
Authors: Montezuma Talita de Fátima Pereira Furtado
Published: December 2022

O artigo relata experiências de autogestão de águas, narradas por comunidades campesinas e tradicionais em conflitos ambientais com empreendimentos do regime extrativista. Parte-se de uma cartografia de conflitos para analisar repertórios e estratégias comunitárias que recusam a privatização ou a expropriação das águas, a partir da análise de discursos presentes em encontros entre comunidades, movimentos e organizações sociais, complementados por fonte documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Objetiva-se investigar estratégias de autogestão comunitária de águas e suas contribuições, para repensar a teoria dos comuns a partir do contexto latino-americano, construindo uma crítica à abordagem institucionalista de Ostrom. O argumento central do texto considera que esta defesa das águas traduz uma práxis política de exercício da autonomia de povos e comunidades, reposicionando a categoria dos comuns enquanto fazeres políticos comunitários de compartilhamento e reciprocidade não redutíveis aos bens, recursos ou sistemas de manejo.
SABERES INSURGENTES E A PROTEÇÃO DOS BENS COMUNS: PRÁTICAS E FORMAS DE RE-EXISTÊNCIA NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO TERRITÓRIO AGROECOLÓGICO NO SEMIÁRIDO POTIGUAR
Authors: Souza Cimone Rozendo de , Brandenburg Alfio
Published: December 2022

Este artigo analisa as experiências agroecológicas de conservação dos bens comuns, levadas a cabo por agricultores familiares do município de Apodi, no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, em especial as que incidem sobre a água, os alimentos, as sementes e a floresta, buscando compreendê-las enquanto estratégias de re-existência e de defesa de modos de vida plurais. Partindo de uma abordagem decolonial, destacamos como sujeitos/as subalternizados/as e apagados pelo sistema dominante moderno, restabeleceram seus vínculos com a terra, credibilizaram suas experiências e reforçaram suas identidades, inspirados na ideia de convivência com o semiárido e do diálogo dos saberes. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica, reconstituímos a trajetória de ocupação do território do município, destacando os contextos e condições em que ocorreram esses processos e que permitiram projetar “ideias para adiar o fim do mundo”, como sugere Krenak (2019).

The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of satisfaction with the life of university teachers before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, this in the context of social isolation. The present study adopts a quantitative and cross-sectional approach, the sample is extended randomly, made up of 129 university teachers from the Faculty of Physical Culture Sciences of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, aged between 18 and 74 years. To measure the degree of teacher satisfaction, the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) was obtained (Atienza et al., 2000; Diener et al., 1985; Pons et al., 2002). The results globally showed significant differences between life satisfaction before and during the pandemic according to the means comparison test, using the T test for related samples, with values ​​of 4.06 before and 3.6 during the pandemic. When carrying out the categorization of the results according to the escalation, it was shown that 55.7% of the teachers perceived themselves satisfied before the pandemic, the opposite happening during the isolation, decreasing, only 45.5% feeling satisfied. Only 27% felt very satisfied before and this percentage decreased to only 14.5% during isolation. The Covid-19 not only wreaked havoc on health, but also negative effects on people's psychological, emotional and social spheres, thus modifying healthy lifestyles and leaving possible effects on physical and mental health as a consequence.

La bruche (Acantholescides obtectus Say) infeste le haricot au champ et en stock. Les dégâts causés par cet insecte sont présents dans toutes les zones de production du Congo. Outre le tri des graines bruchées fait par les producteurs, les feuilles de Lippia multiflora L., Cymbopogon citratus Steud., Chenopodium ambrosioides L., Ocimum gratissimum L. et les rhizomes de Zingiber officinale Rosc. sont aussi utilisés comme ingrédients pour lutter contre la bruche. L’étude vise à évaluer l’efficacité des huiles essentielles extraites de cinq plantes sur les bruches. Ces huiles sont extraites par l’hydro distillation sur les feuilles ou les rhizomes à l’état frais ou sec. Leurs effets contre la bruche sont évalués in vitro par test de répulsion, de contact et de fumigation avec ou sans graines. Il ressort une forte répulsion de cinq huiles vis-à-vis des bruches. L’huile de C. ambrosioides extraite à l’état sec a un taux de répulsion de 98,13%. A 0,007 µl/cm2, les taux de mortalité des bruches de 78,75% et 61,25 % sont notés avec C. ambrosioides extraites à l’état sec et à l’état frais. A l’état sec, ceux-ci de 78,75 % et 71,25 % sont observées avec C. ambrosioides et L. multiflora. A 0,01 µl/g de graines, les taux de mortalité de 61,25 %, 50 %, 42,50 % et 38,25 % sont observées avec C. ambrosioides, C. citratus, O. gratissimum et Z. officinale extrait à l’état sec. A 0,002 µ/cm3 après 6 h d’inhalation, les taux de mortalité de 78,75 %, 71,25 %, 51,25 %, 48,75 % et 48,75 % sont enregistrés avec C. ambrosioides et L. multiflora, O. gratissimum, C. citratus et Z. officinale extraites à l’état frais. A l’état sec, les taux de 61,25% et 50 % sont obtenus avec les huiles de C. ambrosioides et C. citratus. L’efficacité in vitro avérée de cinq huiles est en cours d’évaluation en plantation contre la bruche.

Published: December 2022

La transmission manu portée des microorganismes est une question d’actualité. Elle s’est accrue avec l’apparition de la Covid-19. Il s’est en suit une prolifération de gels hydroalcooliques (GHA) sur l’ensemble des marchés de Côte d’Ivoire. La ville de Daloa enregistre aussi une diversité de gels hydroalcooliques sur ses marchés. L’objectif de ce travail était d’évaluer l’effet antimicrobien des gels hydroalcooliques vendus sur les marchés et grandes surfaces (supers marchés) de la ville de Daloa. Tout d’abord une enquête sociodémographique afin de connaitre le niveau de connaissance et celui de l’utilisation des gels hydroalcooliques dans la ville de Daloa a été réalisée. Concernant l’activité antibactérienne, un total de 30 GHA a été testé à raison de 15 GHA prélevés sur les marchés et 15 autres dans les supermarchés. Les souches microbiennes telles que Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae et Candida albicans ont été utilisées pour le test d’activité antibactérienne. Les résultats indiquent que les GHA sont connus par 96% de la population interrogée. Ces personnes sont en majorité des adultes de plus de 30 ans et ayant au moins un niveau d’étude du primaire. L’activité antibactérienne a relevé que l’efficacité varie d’un gel à un autre. La souche C. albicans est moins sensible à tous les gels quelque soit leur lieu de provenance et les gels vendus sur les marchés sont moins efficaces que les gels vendus au Supermarché.
Infestation dynamics of ticks with Anaplasma and Ehrlichia pathogens in the Kirov region
Authors: Bessolicyna E.
Published: December 2022

Anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis are transmissible diseases of

both humans and domestic animals, causing serious harm to

health and agriculture. But only ticks taken from humans are

analyzed. The purpose of this work is to determine the presence of the genetic material of microorganisms of the Anaplasma and Ehrlichia genera in ixodid ticks of various species collected in the Kirov region in the period from 2010 to 2021 using the polymerase chain reaction. During the study, 1487 ticks of three species as Ixodes persulcatus, Dermacentor reticulatus, and Ixodes ricinus have been analyzed. The percentage of infestation with bacteria of the Ehrlichia genus (from 20.6 to 60.6 %) is higher than that of the Anaplasma bacteria (from 4.8 to 36 %). The presence of both pathogens is also observed (from up to 32 %). The percentage of infestation varies, the presence of pathogens does not depend on each other. The Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus ticks have a significantly lower percentage of infestation than Ixodes persulcatus. Monitoring the infestation ticks with pathogens of anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis will allow organizing the prevention of these diseases.

For the first time in the conditions of the Komi Republic, we have studied the collection of remontant raspberry varieties and identified promising varieties among them to form agrophytocenoses being highly resistant to the action of biotic and abiotic stressors. The article highlights the shoot growth peculiarities, remontancy and realization of the potential productivity of remontant raspberry varieties under conditions of the Komi Republic. The authors have identified varieties with a high remontancy degree in terms of: length of the autumn fruiting zone and number of laterals on a shoot. The highest potential productivity of the studied varieties has been evaluated.

The study results of 2021 provide for the experimental data for the subsequent development of the guidelines on formation of adaptive remontant raspberry agrophytocenoses in the conditions of the Komi Republic.
At the Onset of P.A. Sorokin’s Sociology Gaining International Recognition: Commentary on the Publication of his Correspondence with the Publisher G. Salomon-Delatour (1925–1932)
Authors: Golovin Nikolay , Vissonov Roman
Published: December 2022

The published correspondence reveals the professional ties of the RussianAmerican sociologist P.A. Sorokin (1889–1968) and the German publisher and sociologist

Salomon (1892–1964, Salomon-Delatour since 1947). It substantially complements

the knowledge about Sorokin’s priorities in professional contacts and scientific interests. In addition to the most complete version of Sorokin’s article “Russian Sociology in the Twentieth Century” (1926), published in the Yearbook of Sociology released by Salomon, the accompanying correspondence introduces Sorokin’s plans to participate in the preparation of the German editions of the books Leaves from a Russian Diary (1924), The Sociology of Revolution (1925), Social Mobility (1925), Modern Sociological Theories (1928, the German edition came out in 1932), Principles of Rural and Urban Sociology (1929) and Readers on Rural Sociology (1930–1932). Sorokin’s plans and articles on the study of genius and leadership, the role of the intelligentsia in society, and issues of book review are discussed. The letters are a testament to Sorokin’s sociology starting to receive actual international recognition. The correspondence tells of the impact of the Great Depression (1929–1939) on sociologists’ contacts.

Published: December 2022

Drug-induced liver injury is a rare but life-threatening phenomenon. Paracetamol is referred to as a drug with a direct dose-dependent hepatotoxic eff ect. Th e use paracetamol, even in therapeutic doses, is essentially safe, but requires a sensible approach while prescribing it to the risk groups and “off - label”. Th e use of paracetamol in children is limited at the age of less than 3 months. Signifi cant damage to hepatocytes by paracetamol in children is relatively rare and only occurs in 10% of the cases while taking potentially toxic doses of the drug. We have recorded a clinical case of toxic hepatitis development in a newborn aft er intravenous “off -label” administration of therapeutic doses of paracetamol in order to relieve the pain syndrome. Th is case is indicative of the fact that even therapeutic doses of paracetamol, as well as the predominantly sulfate pathway of drug biotransformation, which is typical for children under 14 years of age, does not rule out the possibility of toxic drug-induced liver damage. Taking into account the described case, there is a need to determine clear indications for “off -label” use of the drug in view of the possible toxic eff ect development.

Th e aim of the research. To study the eff ects of lead intoxication on blood parameters in battery factory workers with dust bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Material and methods. Th e study was conducted on battery factory workers (45 subjects) aged 30 to 60 years who came into contact with lead and on healthy volunteers (15 subjects). Blood parameters were evaluated in hematological analyser XT-2000i using a unique technology of fl uorescent fl ow cytometry. Results. Employees of the battery plant develop occupational diseases: dust bronchitis and bronchial asthma. In all studied groups of patients, laboratory blood parameters changed compared with the control group: anemia, leukocytosis, haemoglobinopathy, a change in the qualitative characteristics of the leukocyte formula, an increase in the percentage of micro and macrophages were observed. Activation of intravascular coagulation is characteristic to all groups of patients, which indicates a tendency to DIC syndrome. Comparative characteristics of blood parameters revealed deeper changes in BA patients who were exposed to lead in their professional activities. It has been established that the technique of fl ow cytometry for determining functional blood parameters is informative and can be used to characterise the condition of persons with occupational diseases based on lead intoxication. Conclusion. For the fi rst time, it has been revealed that the total number of platelets increases with the growth of their size in battery factory workers, which indicates a trend toward DIC syndrome. For the fi rst time, a decrease has been fi rst found in the concentration of haemoglobin, the number of red blood cells, an increase in the total number of leukocytes due to lymphocytes with a decrease in neutrophils and eosinophils in patients with dust bronchitis. Th ere is a correlation between the amount of haemoglobin and the number of leukocytes. It has been found for the fi rst time that employees of a battery factory suff ering from bronchial asthma have an increase in the amount of haemoglobin, erythrocytes, leucocytosis due to lymphocytes, but the linear associations between leukocyte parameters are very weak. Based upon this, we recommend repeating medical examination with shorter intervals in between. Th e timing of periodic inspections depends on the nature of production and types of work with lead and its compounds. When applying for a job, such contraindications as blood diseases and diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems should be a principal factor.

Introduction. One of the rare complications following hip arthroplasty is periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Two-stage revision arthroplasty is the gold standard in the treatment of deep periprosthetic infection of large joints, providing high probability of infection process resolution as well as functional recovery of the limb and elimination of pain syndrome.

Aim: to improve the treatment results of patients with periprosthetic infection after primary hip arthroplasty.

Materials and Methods. 121 patients (62 patients in the main group and 59 in the control group) after primary hip arthroplasty were included in the study. In the main group, treatment was performed using a two-stage technique with implantation of a preformed spacer and our proposed algorithm. In the control group, treatment was performed using a homemade spacer and without using the developed algorithm.

Results. When using our developed treatment algorithm, a good result in the treatment of UTI was achieved. The infectious process was controlled in 80.6 % of cases, as compared with 64.4 % in the control group, which is comparable with the data of domestic and foreign literature.

Conclusion. Treatment of patients with periprosthetic infection should be performed only in specialized centers that perform all stages of treatment, have all necessary instruments, an equipped operating room, necessary drugs in the hospital pharmacy, experienced staff and equipped bacteriological laboratory, as well as many years of experience of surgeons with these patients.
Discovering the Legacy of Mandailing Ulama: Education, Intellectuals, and Politics in North Sumatra in the Early 20th Century
Authors: Ja'far Ja'far , Syahnan Mhd. , Asrul Asrul , Dahlan Zaini , Ritonga Sakti
Published: December 2022

This study examines the role of Mandailing ulama in education, intellectuals, and politics in the early 20th century. Ulama plays a critical role in safeguarding the morality of Muslim society (umma). Drawing upon the historical approach, it employed Kuntowijoyo model of writing history stages and Anthony Giddens' structuration theory to analyze the problems that this study intends to answer. This study argues that the social structure surrounding the Mandailing ulama enabled them to address religious and other sociocultural issues. This study also unveiled that the Mandaling ulama in the early 20th century mobilized the organizations, such as Al Washliyah (1930), Al-Ittihadiyah (1935), and Nahdlatul Ulama (1918) to promote the education of the indigenous people, fortify the Sunni school of thought from the heretical and influence of Dutch colonial government. It was manifested by supporting only two Islamic political parties: the Masjumi Party and the Nahdlatul Ulama Party. This suggests that Ulama were not only religious scholars who acquired knowledge of Islamic norms and disseminated them through religious and educational institutions, such as madrasa and pesantren, but also active agents in socio-political transformation within the Muslim community.
The Popularizing of Sunni Doctrine In Southeast Asia: Sifat Dua Puluh in Malay Kitab Jawi of the 19th Century
Authors: Burhanudin Jajat
Published: December 2022

Sifat dua puluh (twenty attributes of God) is a specific Malay term to convey the doctrine of Sunni tradition in Southeast Asia. Formulated to digest the substance of a renowned book of Yusūf al-Sanūsī, Umm al-Barāhīn, this term began to appear in the 19th century as a leading Islamic theme in the kitab jawi of Malay scholars in Mecca. The scholars translated the book into Malay and expounded its contents in the form of commentaries (sharḥ), a rising style of writing kitab jawi on the doctrine of the period. Malay scholars' use of the term in Mecca was transmitted and then reproduced alongside the printing of  kitab jawi in Southeast Asia. This process led the Sunni theology to constitute an Islamic orthodoxy in the region. This article presents a historical analysis of how sifat dua puluh became an established concept of Sunni theology in the Southeast Asian context, putting the mentioned work of al-Sanūsī as the source of the production of  Sunni creeds in a popularly vernacular expression of the Muslims in the region.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of hepatitis B and C infections and their association with repeated blood transfusions among thalassemic children attending the Yemen Society for Thalassemia and Genetic Blood Disorders (YSTGBD) in Sana’a city, Yemen.Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed the medical records of 195 thalassemic children aged <18 years taken who were attending the YSTGBD from January 2008 to December 2018. Data about the gender and age of the child, time of thalas- semia diagnosis, frequency of monthly blood transfusions, hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination status, hepatitis B infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) seropositivity were retrieved from the records into a data collection sheet. Data were then analyzed and summarized as frequencies and proportions. The association between the independent variables and infection with hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C was tested using the chi-square test.Results: The majority of thalassemic children attending the YSTGBD were males (58.5%), aged 8 years or older (81.0%), diag- nosed with thalassemia at 6 months of age or older (71.8%, were receiving ≤500 ml of transfused blood per month (88.7%) and had been vaccinated against HBV (72.8%). Regarding the serostatus for viral hepatitis, 15.4% (30/195) of children were seroposi- tive for the antibodies against HCV, 13.3% (26/195) were infected with hepatitis B as confirmed by HBsAg seropositivity, and 4.1% (8/195) were concomitantly seropositive for HBsAg and anti-HCV. Not getting vaccinated against HBV was significantly associated with infection with HBV (P <0.001), where 45.3% of unvaccinated children were seropositive compared to 1.4% of vaccinated children. In contrast, gender, age, age at thalassemia diagnosis and the quantity of monthly transfused blood were not significantly associated with infection with hepatitis B, anti-HCV seropositivity, or concomitant seropositivity for HBsAg and anti- HCV among thalassemic children.Conclusions: Viral hepatitis is a major problem for thalassemic children seeking healthcare in institutions of concern in Yemen, but it is rather difficult to assess the status of hepatitis C infection because of the lack of confirmatory tests. On the other hand, vaccination against HBV is significantly associated with a lower prevalence of hepatitis B among thalassemic children, highlighting the need for vaccinating all thalassemic children before enrollment in specialized centers of care. Thalassemic children should be screened for blood-borne viruses, including hepatitis viruses, before the establishment of regular blood transfusions.

Published: December 2022

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the amount of bone formed after graftless maxillary sinus lifting procedure in edentulous ridges compared to newly extracted teeth sites when a simultaneous dental implant planned to be inserted.Subjects and methods: Twenty patients who needed dental implant in the posterior maxilla having a reduced vertical bone height were divided into two groups, fresh extraction socket group (10 cases) and patients with edentulous ridges at the site of indicated implant. All implants were from the same company with the same diameter and length. Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) examination was performed to assess the bone gain height radiographically at 6 months after surgery.Results: The mean height of sinus elevation in extraction socket group was statistically significant higher than edentulous ridge group (4.02±0.84 and 2.63±1.56; respectively, P=0.023). Percentage change in the edentulous ridge group was (56.79±40.33), which is higher than that of extraction socket group (29.79±23.68) yet the difference was not significant (P=0.085).Conclusion: Dental implants at the site of pneumatized bone with simultaneous sinus lifting without bone graft showed a good and successful outcome in regard to bone gain and increased bone height with the fresh extraction socket cases.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la concordancia entre las disposiciones emitidas por el Organismo Nacional de Sanidad Pesquera (SANIPES) con su homóloga de Chile y los principios aprobados por la Organización Mundial de Sanidad Animal (OMSA), respecto al uso de agentes antimicrobianos en acuicultura. Para ello, se comparó la normativa nacional referente al uso de antibióticos en especies acuáticas con el código sanitario de animales acuáticos de la OMSA y dos normas chilenas, país en donde la acuicultura se encuentra más desarrollada en la región. Las normas se llevaron a matrices de comparación y posteriormente fueron analizadas. Se encontró que la normativa peruana implemento en su mayoría los lineamientos indicados en los principios de la OMSA para el uso de antibióticos en acuicultura dirigidos a distribuidores de antimicrobianos para uso en peces y productores de especies acuáticas. Por otro lado, no contempló específicamente las directrices para el uso de antibióticos por parte de profesionales en sanidad acuícola ni lineamientos sobre el uso extra-etiqueta, en la comparación de las normativas de la OMSA y las de Chile. La evaluación cualitativa encontró concordancia entre la normativa del SANIPES y los principios de la OMSA dirigidos a los distribuidores de productos antibióticos para uso en peces y los productores de especies acuáticas, pero una baja concordancia entre las directrices dirigidas a Médicos veterinarios. Además, las dos normativas chilenas contaron con una estructura más específica e implementaron casi totalmente los principios de la OMSA en comparación con la peruana, por lo que se sugiere una mejora en esta última según la realidad del sector.

El estudio tuvo como objetivo describir la procedencia y puerta de ingreso al Perú de los felinos domésticos (Felis silvestris catus) durante el periodo 2009 – 2018. Para ello se utilizó la información registrada por el Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria (SENASA). Se obtuvo información de 4525 registros para el periodo de estudio, observándose una tendencia creciente de felinos domésticos ingresados al país. Los principales continentes de procedencia fueron América del Sur (44.3%) y América del Norte (28.7%). Los países que registraron el mayor número de animales ingresados al Perú fueron: Estados Unidos (1061), España (511), Chile (489), Argentina (468), Colombia (308), Venezuela (294), Brasil (173), México (140), Italia (131) y Francia (111). Los principales puntos de registro de ingreso fueron el Salón Internacional – Aeropuerto (49,7%) y la Oficina Puesto de control Aéreo Provincia Constitucional del Callao (45.2%).  En el el periodo de estudio, diciembre (13.2%), enero (8.6%), julio (8.5%) y agosto (9.7%) fueron los meses de mayor ingreso de felinos domésticos hacia Perú. Es importante mantener la vigilancia del lugar de procedencia de los felinos domésticos y evaluar la condición sanitaria de dichos países a fin de disminuir el riesgo de ingreso de enfermedades transfronterizas al Perú a través de estos animales.

Este estudio recopila información actualizada relacionada a los aspectos sanitarios de moluscos bivalvos y langostinos en Perú. La finalidad fue determinar las necesidades de actuación de los profesionales de la sanidad acuícola, incidiendo en la generación de nuevos conocimientos e innovación que beneficien al sector pesquero y acuícola a través de la formación de capital humano y desarrollo de tecnologías para el diagnóstico de enfermedades en animales acuáticos. Así también, se da a conocer la importancia de la sanidad en la producción de moluscos bivalvos y langostinos, concluyendo que hasta el momento en el Perú son escasas las investigaciones realizadas y consecuentemente no se cuenta con suficiente evidencias que permitan valorar el establecimiento de programas sanitarios para afrontar enfermedades endémicas en nuestro país. El estudio determina que las principales especies de producción en acuicultura en el Perú son la concha de abanico (Argopecten purpuratus), langostino blanco (Litopenaeus vannamei), trucha arco iris (Oncorhynchus mykiss) y tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus); y que los volúmenes de extracción de los recursos pesqueros y de producción de los recursos procedentes de la acuicultura demuestran la necesidad de fortalecer las actividades de investigación en estos sectores. Ello debido a que las investigaciones en el área de la sanidad de moluscos bivalvos y langostinos, procedentes de la pesca o acuicultura son escasos, desarrolladas de manera aislada y en cantidad insuficientes Por ello, se concluye que es necesario realizar esfuerzos coordinados entre el sector empresarial (productores), las entidades gubernamentales y el sector académico, con la finalidad de llevar a cabo estudios que permitan obtener evidencias científicas suficiente que conlleven establecer programas sanitarios a fin de mejorar los sistemas de producción y extracción de los recursos hidrobiológicos.

The aim of the present study was to estimate the feasibility of blood serum hydrogen bonds energy distribution, and information-theoretic characteristics, as diagnostic markers for tumor disease in Graffi tumor bearing hamsters. Golden Syrian hamsters were randomly divided into two groups: a healthy control and an experimental one, challenged with Graffi tumor cells. The distributions of hydrogen bonds energies (-E) in the blood serum samples were investigated with a nonequilibrium process of droplets evaporation and sequential measurements of their wetting angle (Non-equilibrium Energy Spectrum (NES)). The measurements show significantly lower average hydrogen bond energy of the experimental samples than the controls. Shifts in NES toward depletion of (-E) at energy levels 0.0937, 0.1187, 0.1212, 0.1337, and 0.1387 eV, and an additional population at 0.0987, 0.1012, 0.1137, and 0.1237 eV energy levels were observed in the experimental samples compared to the controls. Such a pattern points to the possibility of utilizing the f(E) shifts at these energy levels as diagnostic markers of Graffi tumor in hamsters. Information-theoretic measures of Shannon entropy, Variation of information and Transformational information entropy were used to investigate possible differences between the experimental and control spectrum. Although they differ significantly in definitions, a comparison with the three information-theoretic measures did not reveal a statistically significant difference.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease among women, constituting around a quarter of all cancers in women worldwide. This type of cancer is mainly affected by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors such as nutrition and physical activity. A retrospective study including 192 women with breast cancer was performed for six years (from 2015 to 2021). We investigated the relationship between indirect hematological parameters, neutrophil-to lymphocyte ratio – NLR, plateletsto-lymphocyte ratio – PLR, systemic immune-inflammation index – SII and the treatment outcome. Additionally, we also followed the overall survival (OS) rate. The obtained results report assessed parameters before and after surgical intervention. Of importance is to emphasize that at a cut-off value of 2.65 (P = 0.001) and 3.30 (P < 0.001), a decline in the NLR value was noticed after surgical removal of the breast cancer. The same decrease was observed for SII after surgery (P < 0.001). Through the study, SII has been shown to be a more relevant parameter compared to NLR and PLR. The study outcome recommends the cut-off value of 2.65 as the optimal for NLR in predicting the effectiveness and successfulness of the surgical procedure.

Background: The prognosis of rectal cancer has improved with neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced disease. Twenty percent of patients respond to treatment with complete pathological regression, which is clinically estimated with magnetic resonance imaging. Aim: describe the properties of the pathological complete response group of patients at our institution Materials and methods: All selected patients received LCCRT at the University Hospital for Tumors Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital Center, Zagreb, between January 2014 and December 2019 and were later surgically treated at the same facility. Results: We identified 23 patients with complete pathological responses, of which, despite surgery, seven progressed. We recorded a higher proportion of female patients in that group and younger age of onset. MRI preoperatively was not yet predictive of a complete pathological response. Conclusion: The proportion of patients with a complete pathological response is 16% in this cohort. All patients underwent surgery but did not receive consolidating therapy. About 30% progressed during the observed period.

Breast cancer cells can express HER2 receptors on their membranes to varying degrees. HER2 signalling pathway is important for tumor growth and metastasis. Patients with HER2-positive disease had worse treatment outcomes until the implementation of trastuzumab started, followed by other anti-HER2 drugs. So far, they have been used exclusively for strong HER2 expression. The development of new drugs, primarily antibody-drug conjugates, has proven their efficacy on tumor cells that have lower levels of the HER2 receptors, today referred to as HER2-low tumors. Since the results of the DESTINY breast04 study showed a prolongation of progression free survival and overall survival in HER2-low pretreated patients, a new perspective opens up in the treatment, as well as in HER2 testing.

Endometrial cancer is the sixth most common cancer in women worldwide and fourth in Europe. Global estimates show rising incidence in both developed and developing countries. Standard surgical treatment leads to permanent loss of fertility. With current trends of reproductive-age women delaying childbearing, rising endometrial carcinoma incidence rates and a growing epidemic of obesity, research on conservative treatment remains a priority. Fertility-sparing treatment involves the use of oral progestins and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices, both shown to be beneficial and safe in early-stage endometrial carcinoma. We present a case of a 40-year-old female with endometrial adenocarcinoma grade 1 diagnosed during infertility workup. After one year of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices and almost three years after initial diagnosis was made, pregnancy was achieved. Term elective C-section delivery was done and a healthy infant was born. Today, a 46-yearold female, with six years of disease-free survival, still opts for conservative treatment. Aim of this paper is to show how conservative management with steady follow up in highly motivated individuals could be a reliable option for females of reproductive age with endometrial malignancies. Concept of fertility-sparing treatment should give hope to patients with malignant disease and unfulfilled reproductive goals.

A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary liver malignancy, often arising in the setting of chronic liver disease. Incidence of this carcinoma is increasing at a great rate. Disease often manifests asymptomatically and to make the final diagnosis is often challenging. Screening of patients at risk is based on ultrasound (US) examinations, which in the setting of suspicion lesion findings often converts to multiphasic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures for advanced disease evaluation. The selection of treatment modality depends on tumor size and location, extrahepatic spread and subsequent liver disease. For years the first line of treatment was liver resection and transplantation. Locoregional therapy is a novel approach to diverse stages of HCC with good response and higher overall survival rates, especially in early stages. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the method of choice in patients with multifocal HCC and maintained liver function, unsuitable for surgical treatment. We present a patient with HCC in the setting of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, treated with combined methods of locoregional therapy.
