Controlo radiográfico de dispositivos médicos em neonatologia: revisão narrativa.
Authors: Reis Raquel , Rebelo Sofia , Pereira José Manuel
Published: January 2022

Introdução: A gestão clínica dos recém-nascidos nas unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatais implica a colocação de diversos dispositivos médicos invasivos que necessitam de controlo radiográfico. O principal objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre as boas práticas a adotar na aquisição de imagens radiográficas, em unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatais, para o controlo de dispositivos médicos de acordo com a literatura publicada e a experiência dos autores.

Material e Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura. Recorreu-se às bases de dados científicas PubMed; Science Direct; Google Scholar e Portal RCAAP, para a recolha de documentos de análise. Foram, ainda, consultados livros das coleções particulares dos autores.

Resultados: A revisão narrativa incidiu sobre 39 documentos, dos quais 26 artigos científicos, quatro guidelines/consensos/recomendações e nove livros/capítulos de livro.

Desenvolvimento: A colocação de cateteres intravasculares, sondas nasogástricas e tubos endotraqueais são procedimentos interventivos habitualmente utilizados na prestação de cuidados a recém-nascidos prematuros internados nas unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatais. O posicionamento preciso destes dispositivos é essencial e a radiografia do tórax e abdómen desempenha um papel de extrema relevância no controlo e monitorização da colocação destes dispositivos. Os desafios técnicos inerentes à realização destes exames radiográficos assumem uma exigência suplementar atendendo aos ajustes ao posicionamento e parâmetros de exposição em relação à população adulta. Os parâmetros de aquisição, bem como o pós-processamento da imagem, deverão ser otimizados de forma a permitirem visualizar o trajeto dos dispositivos médicos em toda a sua extensão e demonstrarem inequivocamente a posição da sua extremidade distal. Ao mesmo tempo a imagem terá de apresentar leitura anatómica suficiente para a monitorização de eventuais lesões iatrogénicas.

Conclusão: O célere reconhecimento radiográfico de dispositivos incorretamente colocados, assim como, as complicações que podem originar, é essencial para uma rápida intervenção que permita a prevenção do agravamento do estado clínico do recém-nascido.

Objective: Analysis of our approach to breast reconstruction after mastectomy in women with breast cancer and/or BRCA mutations. Oncoplastic surgery enables procedures that are sufficiently radical and with a very good cosmetic effect. With the development of genetic testing programs, the need for prophylactic procedures is also increasing. One-sided curative performance and at the same time prophylactic surgery on the other breast can be used. Methods: We use the possibility of immediate breast reconstruction simultaneously with subcutaneous and skin-saving mastectomy. We solve the reconstruction either with an expander and in the second time by inserting a silicone implant, or directly by inserting the implant alone or in combination with the use of autologous tissue, depending on further oncological treatment (chemotherapy or radiotherapy). Results: One-hundred and three reconstructive surgeries were performed on 58 women with breast cancer and/or BRCA mutations from April 2017 to May 2020. Of these, there were 52 immediate reconstructions for untreated tumors. A tissue expander was inserted in 27 women (46.6% of the group) with locally advanced tumors and the need for subsequent radiotherapy (18 immediate and 9 delayed reconstructions). Breast implants were used in 52 women (89.7% of the group) in a total of 80 implants. Breast reconstruction of own tissues was performed in 8 women, of which 5 operations had immediate reconstruction. Postoperative complications occurred in 11 women and 15 corrective procedures were performed (12.7% of operations). Conclusion: Breast reconstruction is a comprehensive set of techniques by which any patient can obtain a breast so that it does not depend on the epithelium. Patients with locally advanced disease who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are at greater risk of complications. With the growing number of breast cancers, the demand for reconstructive procedures, especially immediate reconstructions, is increasing.

Objective: Case presentation and subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic procedure of autoimmune encephalitis caused by the presence of ovarian teratoma. Case report: We describe the case of a young woman with symptoms of an acute psychotic attack unresponsive to antipsychotic treatment. Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis was diagnosed within the interdisciplinary cooperation at the University Hospital in Olomouc. Conclusion: This type of rare and potentially fatal paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis occurs predominantly in young women. Due to the high variability of neuropsychiatric symptoms, the diagnosis of the disease is very difficult, and therefore patients are often primarily incorrectly treated for other neurological or psychiatric diseases. The most prognostically important part is early diagnosis and adequate therapy. Key words: ovarian teratoma – anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDAR encephalitis) – paraneoplastic syndrome

According to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetric classification, parasitic leiomyoma has been classified as type 8. Previous laparoscopic myomectomy with intraperitoneal morcellation has been implicated in its etiology. The most common symptom – if present, is abdominal pain, pressure, bloating during eating or nausea. Key words: parasitic leiomyoma – intraperitoneal morcellation – leiomyomatosis

Published: January 2022

Objective: To provide a comprehensive overview of the available information on the maternal microbiome and its effect on pregnancy and preterm birth. Methods: Systematic review of available literature on the topic was done using the PubMed database. Conclusion: Etiology of preterm labor is multifactorial. Individual setting of humoral and cellular immune response is key; however, lately the focus has shifted to the role of the microbiome, especially the vaginal one. The role of additional microbiomes and the relationship between different compartments are the focus of intensive research. Mainly the differences in the maternal and neonatal microbiome depend on the method of delivery and administration of different antibiotics during pregnancy and labor. The uterine cavity is no longer thought to be without colonization and the formation of the fetal microbiome begins early in pregnancy. Key words: microbiome – preterm labor – antibiotics – microbial invasion of amniotic cavity – vaginal seeding

A Proposal of a Conceptual Framework for Corporate Governance Research
Authors: Trambacos Fernando , Albanez Tatiana , Carvalho Luiz Nelson Guedes de
Published: January 2022

Objective: This paper aims at presenting and discussing a conceptual framework for corporate governance research.
Method: The structure adopted for this framework derives from our analysis of some of the existing conceptual frameworks for corporate governance, which, despite their strengths, still fail to achieve a consensus and establish a shared structure.
Originality/Relevance: It is our understanding, therefore, that the original framework proposed in this paper is more structured and comprehensive regarding the current literature than previous frameworks.
Results: The proposed framework starts from the classic division between internal and external environment variables and then divides the internal environment into three dimensions: (i) structural (principal-principal relations); (ii) operational (principal-agent relations); and (iii) behavioral (interpersonal relations). All these categories contain extremely relevant discussions and enable researchers to view corporate governance as an integrated whole.
Theoretical/Methodological contributions: Under an academic perspective, the proposed framework consolidates the knowledge produced within the field in a structured way and facilitates a harmonious and integrated understanding of its different facets.
Social/management contributions: Professionals and regulators can use our framework to have a structured and integrated view of the existing corporate governance mechanisms, assisting their decisions in the elaboration of policies and recommendations.
Attitude stabilization of slosh-coupled satellite with flexible appendage
Authors: Benmansour Jalal eddine , Khouane Boulanouare
Published: January 2022

In this paper, a robust control scheme is proposed for flexible satellite attitude stabilization in the presence of multiple disturbances including the disturbances caused by flexible appendages with the sloshing dynamics of the liquid propellant and external disturbances from space environment. A composite control scheme is designed by combining a composite disturbance observer (CDO) with feed-forward controller. First, a CDO is constructed to estimate the lumped disturbances, where the lumped disturbances in the system are equivalent into two parts: a slow varying disturbance and periodic disturbance.  Then a PD controller is adopted to stabilize the system and restrain the residue disturbance. Finally, the simulation results for flexible satellite verify that the proposed method can make the satellite asymptotically stable and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
From Here to Equality
Authors: Darity William A. Jr. , Mullen A. Kirsten
Published: January 2022

Racism and discrimination have choked economic opportunity for African Americans at nearly every turn. At several historic moments, the trajectory of racial inequality could have been altered dramatically. Perhaps no moment was more opportune than the early days of Reconstruction, when the U.S. government temporarily implemented a major redistribution of land from former slaveholders to the newly emancipated enslaved. But neither Reconstruction nor the New Deal nor the civil rights struggle led to an economically just and fair nation. Today, systematic inequality persists in the form of housing discrimination, unequal education, police brutality, mass incarceration, employment discrimination, and massive wealth and opportunity gaps. Economic data indicates that for every dollar the average white household holds in wealth the average black household possesses a mere ten cents.
In From Here to Equality, William Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen confront these injustices head-on and make the most comprehensive case to date for economic reparations for U.S. descendants of slavery. After opening the book with a stark assessment of the intergenerational effects of white supremacy on black economic well-being, Darity and Mullen look to both the past and the present to measure the inequalities borne of slavery. Using innovative methods that link monetary values to historical wrongs, they next assess the literal and figurative costs of justice denied in the 155 years since the end of the Civil War. Finally, Darity and Mullen offer a detailed roadmap for an effective reparations program, including a substantial payment to each documented U.S. black descendant of slavery. Taken individually, any one of the three eras of injustice outlined by Darity and Mullen--slavery, Jim Crow, and modern-day discrimination--makes a powerful case for black reparations. Taken collectively, they are impossible to ignore.
Recasting the Vote
Authors: Cahill Cathleen D.
Published: January 2022

We think we know the story of women’s suffrage in the United States: women met at Seneca Falls, marched in Washington, D.C., and demanded the vote until they won it with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. But the fight for women's voting rights extended far beyond these familiar scenes. From social clubs in New York’s Chinatown to conferences for Native American rights, and in African American newspapers and pamphlets demanding equality for Spanish-speaking New Mexicans, a diverse cadre of extraordinary women struggled to build a movement that would truly include all women, regardless of race or national origin. In Recasting the Vote, Cathleen D. Cahill tells the powerful stories of a multiracial group of activists who propelled the national suffrage movement toward a more inclusive vision of equal rights. Cahill reveals a new cast of heroines largely ignored in earlier suffrage histories: Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin, Gertrude Simmons Bonnin (Zitkala-Ša), Laura Cornelius Kellogg, Carrie Williams Clifford, Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, and Adelina “Nina” Luna Otero-Warren. With these feminists of color in the foreground, Cahill recasts the suffrage movement as an unfinished struggle that extended beyond the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment.
As we celebrate the centennial of a great triumph for the women’s movement, Cahill’s powerful history reminds us of the work that remains.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a major health and economic crisis on a global scale. The waves of this crisis hit Malaysia since early March 2020. This unpredicted crisi in 2020. However, the country is still in the line of planning and introduced its mission and vision of shared prosperity in 2030. In contrast, during this crisis, the impact has especially been hard on vulnerable groups. The stock market of Malaysia was also affected. The government introduced a stimulus package to attempt to recover the economy. This study focuses on KLCI Index on the impact of COVID-19 cases reported on day trading and macroeconomic variables during the year 2020. We employ the Bound Test to identify the co-integration and perform the ARDL. The results show that the cases reported have a significant impact on macroeconomic variables and the stock market in both the short- and long run. In conclusion, we found that the effective management of a health crisis is one of the best solutions to reduce the negative impact on economic performance and recover from any crisis.
Hélène Cixous’s Creaturely Poethics
Authors: Segarra Marta
Published: January 2022

Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s and Sarah Kofman’s conception of writing, Anat Pick’s notion of the ‘creaturely’ and Kári Driscoll’s ‘zoopoetics’, this article discusses the relationship between textuality and animality in Hélène Cixous’s work. Cixous’s writing has been described as inscribing the body in the text, which may be considered an ethical engagement; her embodied poetics can thus be called a creaturely poethics. The analysis focuses mostly on Cixous’s latest texts: Les Sans Arche d’Adel Abdessemed (2018), Animal amour (2021) – which deal openly with animals – and her recent fictions on the Shoah, 1938, nuits (2019) and Ruines bien rangées (2020). In them, animality not only traverses human and non-human animals, but also beings considered inanimate, such as Osnabrück’s synagogue. Particularly, Ruines bien rangées gives a voice – and, above all, a ‘cry’ – to all beings reduced to silence, and therefore to death, by the Nazis.
Animality and Textual Experimentalism in João Guimarães Rosa’s My Uncle, the Jaguar
Authors: Torquato Ana Carolina
Published: January 2022

This article analyses how form and content are intertwined in the story My Uncle, the Jaguar (1961) by Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa. In the first part, I use the fourteenth episode of Ulysses (1920), ‘Oxen of the Sun’, as an example of how language and form can convey ideas. The next section deals with Rosa’s efforts to create a character-narrator who seems to be on the verge of becoming-animal. The character’s transformation into a jaguar-like being is ambiguous, seeming to be both psychological and behavioural. In this sense, there is no evidence whether his metamorphosis is physical. However, the language of the narrative conveys his transformation, transcending him from Portuguese to Tupi-Guarani, to an animal snarling onomatopoeic language. To support my argument, I use a theoretical framework derived from Animal Studies and Anthropological Studies as a means of giving a better explanation of the variable cultural background concerning human-animal relationships.
A new vertically integrated MOno-Layer Higher-Order (MOLHO) ice flow model
Authors: Dias dos Santos Thiago , Morlighem Mathieu , Brinkerhoff Douglas
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Numerical simulations of ice sheets rely on the momentum balance to determine how ice velocities change as the geometry of the system evolves. Ice is generally assumed to follow a Stokes flow with a nonlinear viscosity. Several approximations have been proposed in order to lower the computational cost of a full-Stokes stress balance. A popular option is the Blatter–Pattyn or higher-order model (HO), which consists of a three-dimensional set of equations that solves the horizontal velocities only. However, it still remains computationally expensive for long transient simulations. Here we present a depth-integrated formulation of the HO model, which can be solved on a two-dimensional mesh in the horizontal plane. We employ a specific polynomial function to describe the vertical variation in the velocity, which allows us to integrate the vertical dimension using a semi-analytic integration. We assess the performance of this MOno-Layer Higher-Order (MOLHO) model to compute ice velocities and simulate grounding line dynamics on standard benchmarks (ISMIP-HOM and MISMIP3D). We compare MOLHO results to the ones obtained with the original three-dimensional HO model. We also compare the time performance of both models in time-dependent runs. Our results show that the ice velocities and grounding line positions obtained with MOLHO are in very good agreement with the ones from HO. In terms of computing time, MOLHO requires less than 10 % of the computational time of a typical HO model, for the same simulations. These results suggest that the MOno-Layer Higher-Order formulation provides improved computational time performance and a comparable accuracy compared to the HO formulation, which opens the door to higher-order paleo simulations.
