Percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion of the left circumflex branch in mirror dextrocardia: a case report
Authors: Hailin Du , Hongtu Qiao , Wenyong Zhang
Published: November 2023

Background

Mirror dextrocardia (MDC) is a condition in which the heart is located in a mirror-image position on the right side of the chest compared to the normal position in individuals with physiological variations. Patients with MDC and chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the left circumflex branch (LCX) are extremely rare in clinical practice. The treatment of MDC-CTO-LCX differs significantly from patients without mirror dextrocardia and the same condition in terms of instrument selection and procedural techniques. In this article, we report a successful case of interventional treatment in a patient with MDC-CTO-LCX. We summarize the anatomical and electrocardiographic variations in patients with MDC-CTO-LCX, and discuss the selection of interventional instruments and techniques that can be useful for interventionists as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations that can be helpful for clinical physicians.

Case presentation

A male Han Chinese patient, 51, was admitted, presenting recurrent chest pain for a year and recent onset of exertional fatigue over the past week.He reported episodes of chest pain following physical activities over the past year, lasting between 5 and 20 min.Despite these symptoms, the patient did not seek immediate medical attention, and the occurrence of his chest pain has progressively lessened within the year.A week prior, the patient developed exertional dyspnea after brief walks, though without any episodes of nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea.Upon arrival at our hospital for evaluation, he was initially diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome, previous inferior myocardial infarction, atrial arrhythmia, and classified under the New York Heart Association functional class III.Following his admission, a chest X-ray and coronary angiography were conducted.The results indicated mirror dextrocardia and total occlusion of the left circumflex branch. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed on the left circumflex branch. Subsequent angiography demonstrated optimal stent positioning without evidence of hematoma or dissection.Following the procedure, the patient's symptoms of chest pain and exertional dyspnea were resolved, which led to his subsequent discharge.A follow-up electrocardiogram, 10 months post-procedure, displayed a slow and regular atrial rhythm.

Conclusions

The incidence of dextrocardia is very low, and it may appear normal on an electrocardiogram; however, careful diagnosis is required when there is an abnormal direction of the P wave in limb leads. During the operation for chronic occlusive lesions of the right-sided coronary artery, the anomalous anatomical structure necessitates specific requirements for instrument selection and operative techniques. After revascularization of chronic occlusive vessels in dextrocardia, routine electrocardiographic examination may show false normalization, requiring caution in interpretation.
NHS reference costs: a history and cautionary note
Authors: Amies-Cull Ben , Luengo-Fernandez Ramon , Scarborough Peter , Wolstenholme Jane
Published: November 2023

Historically, the NHS did not routinely collect cost data, unlike many countries with private insurance markets. In 1998, for the first time the government mandated NHS trusts to submit estimates of their costs of service, known as reference costs. These have informed a wide range of health economic evaluations and important functions in the health service, such as setting prices.

Reference costs are collected by progressively disaggregating budgets top-down into disease and treatment groups. Despite ongoing improvements to methods and guidance, these submissions continued to suffer a lack of accuracy and comparability, fundamentally undermining their credibility for critical functions.

To overcome these issues, there was a long-held ambition to collect “patient-level” cost data. Patient-level costs are estimated with a combination of disaggregating budgets but also capturing the patient-level “causality of costs” bottom-up in the allocation of resources to patient episodes. These not only aim to capture more of the drivers of costs, but also improve consistency of reporting between providers.

The change in methods may confer improvements to data quality, though judgement is still required and achieving consistency between trusts will take further work. Estimated costs may also change in important ways that may take many years to fully understand. We end on a cautionary note that patient-level cost methods may unlock potential, they alone contribute little to our understanding of the complexities involved with service quality or need, while that potential will require substantial investment to realise. Many healthcare resources cannot be attributed to individual patients so the very notion of “patient-level” costs may be misplaced. High hopes have been put in these new data, though much more work is now necessary to understand their quality, what they show and how their use will impact the system.
Reproduction number projection for the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Benjamin Ryan
Published: November 2023

The recently derived Hybrid-Incidence Susceptible-Transmissible-Removed (HI-STR) prototype is a deterministic compartment model for epidemics and an alternative to the Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model. The HI-STR predicts that pathogen transmission depends on host population characteristics including population size, population density and social behaviour common within that population.

The HI-STR prototype is applied to the ancestral Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) to show that the original estimates of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$

R
0

for the United Kingdom (UK) could have been projected onto the individual states of the United States of America (USA) prior to being detected in the USA.

The Imperial College London (ICL) group’s estimate of $\mathcal{R}_{0}$

R
0

for the UK is projected onto each USA state. The difference between these projections and the ICL’s estimates for USA states is either not statistically significant on the paired Student t-test or not epidemiologically significant.

The SARS-CoV2 Delta variant’s $\mathcal{R}_{0}$

R
0

is also projected from the UK to the USA to prove that projection can be applied to a Variant of Concern (VOC). Projection provides both a localised baseline for evaluating the implementation of an intervention policy and a mechanism for anticipating the impact of a VOC before local manifestation.
Evaluating three water-based systems and one organic solvent for the removal of dammar varnish from artificially aged oil paint samples

Published: November 2023

A framework was developed to evaluate and compare cleaning systems and cleaning system delivery methods, collectively referred to as varnish removal methods, within art conservation practice. This framework was applied to two water-based cleaning systems, optimised for the removal of dammar varnish from an artificially aged brown earth oil paint, including the surfactant-containing microemulsion, Polar Coating B (from the Nanorestore Cleaning series) delivered via the chemical gel, Higher Water Retention (HWR) (from the Nanorestore Gel Dry series), and a surfactant-free microemulsion delivered via the microfiber cloth, Evolon. In addition, two water-based systems and one organic solvent were used to remove dammar varnish from an artificially aged lead white oil paint sample, including a xanthan gum-stabilised emulsion delivered via a synthetic brush, a surfactant-free microemulsion delivered via cotton swab rolling, and 2-propanol solvent delivered via cotton swab rolling. The evaluation framework was thus applied to two different oil paints, with different sensitivities to cleaning. Through this work, the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the varnish removal methods were demonstrated. Notably, cleaning system compatibility with multiple delivery methods afforded greater versatility, including for reducing unwanted interactions between the cleaning system and oil paint. In addition, a surfactant-free microemulsion proved to be a promising, clearance-free, inexpensive, and modifiable option within current offerings for largely water-based methods for varnish removal.
The CsMYB123 and CsbHLH111 are involved in drought stress-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in Chaenomeles speciosa

Published: November 2023

Drought stress has been demonstrated to enhance the biosynthesis of anthocyanins in the leaves, resulting in an increased aesthetic appeal. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying drought-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in Chaenomeles speciosa remain unclear. In this study, the metabolites of C. speciosa leaves were analyzed, and it was found that the content of cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside increased significantly under drought stress. The differentially expressed genes CsMYB123 and CsbHLH111 were isolated by transcriptomics data analysis and gene cloning, and gene overexpression and VIGS experiments verified that both play important roles in anthocyanin biosynthesis. Subsequently, Y1H and Dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that CsMYB123 binds to the promoters of anthocyanin biosynthesis-related structural genes (such as CsCHI, CsF3H, and CsANS), while CsbHLH111 was shown to bind to the promoter of CsCHI, positively regulating its activity. Furthermore, BIFC and Y2H assays unveiled potential protein–protein interactions between CsMYB123 and CsbHLH111 at the cell nucleus. Collectively, these results shed light on the critical roles played by CsMYB123 and CsbHLH111 in anthocyanin biosynthesis, thus providing a valuable insight into understanding the molecular mechanisms of how the MYB and bHLH genes regulate anthocyanin biosynthesis in the process of leaf coloration in C. speciosa.

PURPOSE

AML accounts for 80% of acute leukemia in adults. While progress has been made in treating younger patients in the past 2 decades, there has been limited improvement for older patients until recently. This study examines the global and European Union (EU) 15+ trends in AML between 1990 and 2019.

METHODS

We extracted age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs), age-standardized death rates (ASMRs), and disability-adjusted life years, stratified by sex from the Global Burden of Disease Study database, and mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) were computed. Trends were compared using Joinpoint regression.

RESULTS

The findings show a global increase in AML incidence for both sexes from 1990 to 2019. In the EU15+ countries, most countries exhibited an increase in ASIR for both sexes. Joinpoint revealed that globally for male patients, ASIR steadily increased until 2010, remained stable until 2015 followed by a decline till 2019. Similar trends were observed in female patients. For ASMR, although there was an increase globally and in most EU15+ countries, there was a statistically significant decrease in mortality rates globally and in the majority of EU15+ countries in recent years. MIR improved in both sexes globally. On age stratification, AML burden was highest among older groups (55 years and older), while the lowest rates were observed in younger than 20 years.

CONCLUSION

The findings from our study indicate a global rise in AML incidence and mortality in both sexes and decrease in MIR from 1990 to 2019 suggesting a better survival. However, on Joinpoint analysis, there is no change in MIR in women in the past decade and past 4 years in men indicating plateau in survival trends despite recent advances.
True Continuous Segment of Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament is Protective Against Postoperative Early Kyphosis Progression After Laminoplasty
Authors: An Sungjae , Lee Jang-Bo , Lee Subum , Oh Younggyu , Park Jung-Yul , Hur Junseok W
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a potentially catastrophic disease. Laminoplasty (LP) is a common surgical intervention, but postoperative kyphosis progression is a major complication, for which various risk factors have been identified and used in surgical decision-making. Our focus is on the ability of OPLL with specific morphological traits, designated as the true continuous segment (TCS), to stabilize alignment and prevent postoperative kyphosis after LP.

METHODS:

This retrospective case-control study included patients who underwent cervical LP for OPLL treatment with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Demographic, operative, and radiographic parameters were analyzed. TCS is defined as a continuous segment of OPLL that spans the disk space more than half of the adjacent vertebral body height without crack, or OPLL segment attached to both upper and lower adjacent vertebral bodies by bridging, or obvious interbody autofusion, and is identified from preoperative computed tomography. A subgroup analysis for preoperatively lordotic patients, divided into 2 groups based on cervical alignment at the final follow-up, was conducted to identify risk factors for kyphosis progression. Difference analysis, linear regression analysis for loss of lordosis (LoL), and logistic regression analysis for kyphosis progression were used.

RESULTS:

A total of 84 patients were identified. Among them, 78 patients with preoperatively lordotic alignment were divided into 2 groups: those who maintained lordotic alignment (n = 60) and those who progressed to kyphosis (n = 18). Regression analyses revealed a significant protective effect of TCS count against LoL and postoperative kyphosis, with a TCS count of 3 or more conclusively preventing kyphosis (sensitivity 1.000, specificity 0.283, area under the curve 0.629).

CONCLUSION:

For patients with OPLL, TCS was shown to protect against the LoL after LP. Therefore, TCS should be identified and considered when planning surgical treatment for OPLL.

Bu araştırma, İbn Sînâcı ve İbn Sînâ-sonrası temsilciliğe ve kavramcılığa yönelik Fahreddin er-Râzî’nin tutumunun g mini, onu bu gibi öğretilere karşı giderek daha çok şüpheye düşüren nedenleri irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. İbn Sînâ’nın temsilciliğine göre bilgiye, zorunlu olarak, bilgi nesnelerinin mahiyetleriyle özdeş olan zihnî suretler aracılık eder. İbn Sînâ-sonrası bazı düşünürler, zihnî suretleri mahiyetleri açısından nesnelerden farklı olarak, onların yalnızca birer imgeleri olarak dikkate alıp bu açıklamayı yeniden biçimlendirirler. Râzî her iki yaklaşımı da eleştirir. Varlığın eş sesli olmayışına dayanarak İbn Sînâcı temsilciliğin iki kurucu öncülünü (zihnî varlığın ayrılığını ve saf mahiyetin varoluşsal farksızlığını) reddettiği gibi, İbn Sînâ’nın teorisinin sonuçlarından birine (mahiyetlerin zihin-dışı lazımlarını bilmenin imkânsızlığına) dayanarak temsilciliğin kendisini de reddeder. Râzî başlı başına temsilciliğe karşı olarak, temsilciliğin öncüllerinden birinin (bilgi bilende yerleşik olan, izafî-olmayan belirli bir araz gerektirir) yeterince yeterince gerekçelendirilmediğini iddia eder ve ayrıca bilginin tamamen izafet olduğuna ilişkin kendi teorisine dayanarak burhanî açıdan yanlış olduğunu ileri sürer. İbn Sînâ’nın kavramcılığı şeylerin üç sınıfıyla ilgilidir; var olmayan bilgi nesneleri, basit mahiyetlerin tanımsal parçaları ve ikincil akledilirler (mantıksal nitelikler). İbn Sînâ-sonrası kavramcılar Şeyh’i aşarak, üçüncü sınıfı sadece mantıksal nitelikleri değil varlık, birlik, şeylik, kipler ve genel olarak izafetler gibi nitelikleri de içerecek şekilde genişletir. Râzî’nin var olmayan bilgi nesneleri konusunda kavramcılığa yönelik saldırısı, hem varlığın kaplam bakımından sınırsız olduğu şeklindeki genel öncülü hem de hayal nesnelerinin zihin-dışında var olmayan mahiyetlere sahip olduğu şeklindeki özel öncülü eleştirir. Râzî ayrıca (mütekabiliyet argümanı, zihnin ortadan kaldırılması argümanı gibi) genel olarak kavramcılığa karşı olan argümanlar da geliştirir.

Interpreting pathology test result values with comparators (<, >) in Electronic Health Records research: an OpenSAFELY short data report

Published: November 2023

Background Numeric results of pathology tests are sometimes returned as a range rather than a precise value, e.g. “<10”. In health data research, test result values above or below clinical threshold values are often used to categorise patients into groups; however comparators (<, > etc) are typically stored separately to the numeric values and often ignored, but may influence interpretation. Methods With the approval of NHS England we used routine clinical data from 24 million patients in OpenSAFELY to identify pathology tests with comparators commonly attached to result values. For each test we report: the proportion returned with comparators present, split by comparator type and geographic region; the specific numeric result values returned with comparators, and the associated reference limits. Results We identified 11 common test codes where at least one in four results had comparators. Three codes related to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) tests/calculations, with 31-45% of results returned with “≥” comparators. At least 90% of tests with numeric values 60 and 90 represented ranges (≥60 and ≥90 respectively) rather than exact values. The other tests - four blood tests (Nucleated red blood cell count, Plasma C reactive protein, Tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A, and Rheumatoid factor), two urine tests (albumin/microalbumin) and two faecal tests (calprotectin and quantitative faecal immunochemical test) - were returned with “≤” comparators (29-86%). Conclusions Comparators appear commonly in certain pathology tests in electronic health records. For most common affected tests, we expect there to be minimal implications for researchers for most use-cases. However, care should be taken around whether results falling exactly on clinical threshold values should be considered “normal” or “abnormal”. Results from GFR tests/calculations cannot reliably distinguish between mild kidney disease (60-<90) versus healthy kidney function (90+). More broadly, health data researchers using numeric test result values should consider the impact of comparators.

Existe la idea tradicional de que las poblaciones antiguas estaban firmemente arraigadas en su tierra natal y de que eran poco propensas al cambio. No obstante, estudios recientes han demostrado que el mundo antiguo experimentó un alto nivel de movilidad humana; concretamente, en la Antigüedad griega, las migraciones coordinadas por los propios estados, conocidas como "colonizaciones", constituyen probablemente el ejemplo más evidente de este tipo de desplazamientos. El análisis de estos movimientos, tanto grupales como individuales (comerciantes, refugiados, peregrinos, científicos, viajeros, guerreros y exiliados), conforma el objetivo principal de esta obra, que adopta una perspectiva multidisciplinar y ofrece una recopilación de casos de estudio concretos.

Planificada en 1945 y construida entre 1952 y 1968, la ciudad finlandesa de Tapiola fue concebida como un laboratorio urbano en el que ensayar, a escala reducida, soluciones aplicables en el proceso de reconstrucción del país tras la segunda guerra mundial. Desde el inicio, la preocupación por la infancia orientó unas investigaciones que encontraron su principal impulso en el deseo colectivo de avanzar hacia una sociedad cohesionada y democrática, base sobre la que debía fundarse dicha reconstrucción. En este contexto el pensamiento humanista de Lewis Mumford, que invitaba desde las páginas de La cultura de las ciudades a situar la educación en el centro de la reflexión sobre la ciudad, tuvo una gran repercusión en el urbanismo finlandés, una influencia que se puede ver reflejada en la configuración final de Tapiola. El presente artículo aborda un análisis de esta iniciativa que tiene como objetivo la identificación y la valoración crítica de las estrategias proyectuales que guiaron la implementación de los principios teóricos de Mumford en el caso de estudio. Dicha aproximación permite indagar sobre una experiencia conocida desde una perspectiva distinta: la infancia y la educación como categorías de análisis, que revela la gran capacidad transformadora de estos conceptos y su papel central en toda reconsideración de la ciudad cuyo propósito sea la humanización del espacio construido.

Published: November 2023

Openness is vital in communication. With openness, communication will be effective because communicators and communication partners are open and honest. The development of technology at this time has changed how information is delivered and received. Social media is a place that is in demand by individuals to communicate. One of the media widely used to make openness is Instagram social media. Instagram social media itself has a public nature where everyone can consume the information shared. Along with the development and updates made by Instagram, the close friend Instagram feature appears, which can help users limit the information shared on the public space of Instagram to a more intimate space with a list of desired people. This study aims to describe the communication process at the stage of openness in the friendship relationship in the close friend feature of Instagram, which is analyzed using the social penetration theory of Altman and Taylor. This research uses a qualitative approach with a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling technique. The results of this study describe a different process of openness in the use of Instagram's close friend feature.

Peyuyon Beach is precisely located in Kanigoro Village, Saptosari District, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. The distance from this beach to the city is quite far because of its remote location. Peyuyon Beach is a hidden gem beach that is not too big. Even though it is not very wide, this beach has a charming beauty that is still beautiful and natural.

Analysis of jurnalistic photos about Israel and Palestinan military wars on Instagram @hariankompas
Authors: Mura Freby Raka
Published: November 2023

The integration of the app within Instagram facilitates the prompt and effortless sharing of photographs and videos, enabling users to showcase their creative output, such as photography. Given the information provided, the researchers opted to carry out a study titled "Journalistic Photo Analysis of the Israel and Palestine Military Battle on the Instagram account @Hariankompas." This study falls under the category of qualitative research and employs Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to analyze journalistic photos found on the @hariankompass Instagram account. The study will focus on the denotations, meanings, and myths associated with journalistic photography. The data analysis technique employed in this study is the Miles and Huberman analysis model. This approach has stages for data collection, data reduction, conclusion writing, and data verification. Data triangulation is employed in this study to validate the data. Triangulation is a method employed in credibility testing to verify data obtained from many sources at various points in time. The results indicate that the denotation refers to the literal meaning of the picture, specifically how the scenario arose as a consequence of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Secondly, the importance of connotation lies in the fact that it adds depth and complexity to the true meaning of a photograph, imbuing it with additional layers of significance, emotion, and subjective value, in addition to its more generic interpretation. Journalistic photography typically eschews artificial lighting techniques due to the nature of the business. Instead, they predominantly rely on natural sunlight, capturing images during daylight hours.
Giant complex hepatic cyst causing pseudocystitis: A case report
Authors: Li Song , Tang Jie , Ni De-Sheng , Xia A-Dong , Chen Guo-Liang
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Hepatic cysts are common benign liver tumors that are typically asymptomatic. However, larger cysts, particularly giant liver cysts, can potentially induce symptoms. If the diameter of the cyst exceeds 10 cm, it can exert pressure on adjacent organs, leading to manifestations of corresponding symptoms. Here, we report the case of a complex giant hepatic cyst that caused pseudocystitis.

CASE SUMMARY

A 16-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with frequent and urgent urination. Ultrasonography revealed no obvious uterine adnexal abnormalities but showed a hypoechoic, cystic mass (173 mm × 84 mm × 138 mm) with clear boundaries, and an unclear blood flow signal in the abdominal cavity (extending from the lower edge of the left lobe of liver to the upper edge of the bladder). Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a giant cystic mass in the abdominal and pelvic cavities, possibly originating from the liver, and a small amount of free fluid in the pelvic cavity, which subsequent magnetic resonance imaging confirmed. The imaging characteristics were consistent with a benign lesion. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the giant liver cyst with partial liver resection. Post-surgery her symptoms urinary symptoms were relieved completely and she was discharged on the sixth postoperative day.

CONCLUSION

Our patient presented with symptoms suggestive of pseudocystitis, stressing the need for considering possibilities of other etiologies and differential diagnoses.
Cerebral proliferative angiopathy in pediatric age presenting as neurological disorders: A case report
Authors: Luo Fu-Ren , Zhou Ying , Wang Zhong , Liu Qi-Yu
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare subtype of arteriovenous malformation. It is extremely rare in pediatric patients and has serious implications for developing children. However, reports of these disorders worldwide are limited, and no uniform reference for diagnosis and treatment options exists. We report the case of a 6-year-old with CPA having predominantly neurological dysfunction and review the literature on pediatric CPA.

CASE SUMMARY

We report the case of a pediatric patient with CPA analyzed using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) who presented initially with a neurological disorder as the main manifestation. This case is the basis for further discussion of the clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of CPA in children. After the cerebral DSA, the patient was treated conservatively with sedation, fluid replacement, and blood anticoagulation. She could not cooperate with the follow-up magnetic resonance imaging examination because of her young age, and her family declined further treatment because of the surgery’s high risk. She was followed up for 3 months; her symptoms did not worsen.

CONCLUSION

This report of rare pediatric CPA can inform and advance clinical research on congenital cerebrovascular diseases.

Authors: Zhang Dong-Yuan , Zhang Li , Yang Qin-Yan , Li Jiazheng , Jiang Hong-Chao , Xie Yu-Cheng , Shu Hong
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Granuloma annulare (GA) has diverse clinical manifestations including papules, plaques, and nodules on the extremities that are skin-colored, pink, or purple. Approximately 15% of all GA cases are considered generalized GA.

CASE SUMMARY

Herein, we describe the case of a pediatric patient who initially presented with papules and later developed generalized atrophic macules. Upon examination, two different morphologic lesions were histopathologically confirmed: Epithelioid nodular GA and scattered histiocytic infiltrative GA. This patient exhibited rare clinical manifestations that differed throughout the course of the disease. The varying histopathological types and clinical manifestations of GA may be linked to the different stages of the disease.

CONCLUSION

This rare case demonstrates the different histopathological features of different stages and clinical manifestations of granuloma annulare in an infant.
CONTINENTES DA FILOSOFIA, ORNITORRINCO E O PENSAMENTO DECOLONIAL
Authors: Pinheiro Harald
Published: November 2023

Discutir as diversas razões do Epistemicídio e do colonialismo europeu, bem como apresentar importantes registros e configurações da filosofia africana. A metáfora do ornitorrinco é analisada aqui sob o prisma do pensamento decolonial. Na mesma perspectiva que esse animal desmoronou conceitos, experimentações já consagradas das ciências da natureza nos séculos XVII e XVIII, não conseguiu se adequar às categorias de ordem e espécie, o mesmo ocorre no sentido da literatura e do pensamento decolonial, ao estremecer os alicerces das ciências humanas na atualidade. Por fim, desconstruir as razões de hostilidade entre o pensameto grego e africano em suas bases essenciais na origem do filosofar.

Palavras-Chave: Pensamento decolonial, geofilosofia, epistemicídio, filosofia africana

Abstract

Discuss the various reasons for Epistemicide and European colonialism, as well as present important records and configurations of African philosophy. The platypus metaphor is analyzed here from the perspective of decolonial thinking. In the same perspective that this animal collapsed concepts, already consecrated experiments of the natural sciences in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was unable to adapt to the categories of order and species, the same occurs in the sense of literature and decolonial thought, when shaking the foundations of human sciences today. Finally, deconstruct the reasons for hostility between Greek and African thought in its essential bases in the origin of philosophizing.

Keywords: Decolonial thought, geophilosophy, epistemicide, African philosophy.
