Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a rare primary benign tumor of the liver that generally occurs in women taking oral contraceptives. HCA in men is rare, and it is usually associated with anabolic steroid intake, glycogen storage disease I, III. There are some instances where HCA is induced by antiepileptic drugs. Malignant transformation is one of the complications of HCA, and it is 10 times more often in men than in women. We present a case, where a man, 23 years old, was taking antiepileptic drugs for a long time. The lesion in third liver segment was revealed under routine examination. MRI with hepatobiliary contrast agent was performed. Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) was suspected, however HCA was not excluded. The patient underwent resection of third liver segment. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations revealed that the tumor was β-catenin activated HCA with focus of well differentiated HCC. The article describes the clinical case and provides a brief literature review on this subject.

Published: February 2019

Aim.Evaluation of proton MR spectroscopy in the diagnostics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Materials and methods.70 patients (40 men, 30 women) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were included in the study. Average age of patients was 42 ± 11 years. All patients were divided in two groups. The first group included patients with liver steаthosis (n = 37). Patients with steatohepatitis detected by clinical data formed the second group (n = 33). All patients underwent MR spectroscopy for liver fat content evaluation in two time points (prescreening and after 6 months treatment).

Results.MR spectroscopy showed fat content in patients with liver steatosis in the range from 7.5% to 58.4%, the median was 22.4% (lower and upper quartiles were 14.9% and 28.7%). After 6 months the liver fat content significantly decreased up to 1.5–43.7%, the median was 13.5% (the lower and upper quartiles were 5.54% and 18.9%). In patients with steatohepatitis the fat content calculated by MR spectroscopy ranged from 10.5% to 60%, the median was 28.8% (the lower and upper quartiles were 16.5% and 31.2%). There was no significant difference in fat content in this group after 6 months therapy (the median was 26.7%, the lower and upper quartiles were 14.2% and 28.7%, p = 0.22).

Conclusion.Proton MR spectroscopy can be successfully used in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease for liver fat content quantification in steatosis and steatohepatitis. MR spectroscopy can be discussed as a non-invasive biopsy alternative for dynamic evaluation during treatment.

Published: February 2019

The problem of diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) remains relevant currently, since joint damage affects mainly young employable patients. The review analyzes the data of foreign and domestic literature on methods of the visualization of pathological conditions of patellofemoral articulation. Analysis of the literature has shown that now there is no single algorithm for detecting the pathology of PFJ by radiological methods, especially on early stages, when the effectiveness of treatment is the highest.

Published: February 2019

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most popular nonalcoholic beverages in the world. During tea infusion, both essential mineral elements and toxic metals are extracted into the beverage. In oriental countries, almost a liter of tea is consumed daily by an average adult. Thus, high toxic elements in traditional teas can be of concern. Aim of the study was to determine the essential element contents and toxic heavy metal concentrations in tea products available on the market in Turkey and comparing the contents of infusion for Turkish and Ceylon black and green tea types. The associated health risk to tea drinkers were estimated with reference to Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) Values from US EPA for adults and children. Among the essential elements in all of the black teas purchased from the market, K was present at the highest concentration followed by Mg, Ca and Al. Pb and Mn contents of several tea samples were found over the Tolerable Daily Intake levels.

Ohio Community Pharmacist Provision of Clinical Preventive Services
Authors: Alexander Scott , DiPietro Mager Natalie
Published: February 2019

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to assess whether Ohio community pharmacists currently provide certain evidence-based clinical preventive services.  Secondary objectives were to explore whether there were any differences in provision of services based on respondent education, position, employment status, location, practice setting, or years in practice and to gather information on how pharmacists provide specific services, barriers to providing specific services, pharmacists’ perceptions on specific services needed in their patient population, and pharmacists’ interests in providing services if not already doing so.

Methods:  A random sample of 500 community pharmacists licensed in Ohio received a Qualtrics survey via email assessing current practices and perspectives regarding clinical preventive services. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) “A” and “B” recommended services that can be provided in a community pharmacy served as the framework for the survey questions. Reminders were sent every 3-4 days; data collection continued for a month. The study was IRB-approved.

Results: Ninety-three responses were included in the final analysis (18.9% response rate). Approximately 63% of respondents were female; 51.6% held a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Only 21.5% of respondents were familiar with the USPSTF. However, many respondents were providing clinical preventive services in their pharmacy; the most common were blood pressure screening (51.6%), tobacco use screening or counseling (43%), and diet and/or physical activity counseling (22.6%).  These services were provided in varied ways including patient counseling, medication therapy management sessions, screening events, and health fairs.  Those who are not currently providing services showed interest in developing them.  Pharmacists reported barriers such as lack of time, staff, and reimbursement by patients or third-party payers.

Conclusion:  Many surveyed community pharmacists in Ohio reported providing clinical preventive services in a variety of ways. Many pharmacists who did not provide these services indicated an interest developing such services.  Staffing concerns, time constraints, and a lack of reimbursement by patients and third-party payers were reported as barriers by community pharmacists in providing these services.  As many respondents reported being unfamiliar with USPSTF recommendations, the opportunity to educate pharmacist on these recommendations and potentially increase their activity in these prevention activities exists.

As Deficiências de Acessibilidade no Sistema de Justiça: O (Des)Acesso à Justiça da Pessoa com Deficiência
Authors: Martin Andréia Garcia
Published: February 2019

A tutela dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência nos últimos tempos tem fomentado maior atuação estatal para seu cumprimento. A acessibilidade é um direito instrumental por excelência, pois em face dele proporciona-se às pessoas com deficiência os demais direitos. O acesso à justiça representaria uma face deste direito, pois, com o acesso ao sistema de justiça, a pessoa com deficiência assegurará judicialmente seus direito. Este trabalho pretende demonstrar que as políticas públicas de acesso á justiça para as pessoas com deficiência, especialmente a Resolução n.230/CNJ, apesar de acompanhar esta nova ideologia, conforma-se num álibi de natureza política, sem efetividade prática.

La construcción ritual de la identidad de género en la infancia: estudio de caso en Moa, Cuba
Authors: Pérez Gallo Víctor Hugo , Espronceda Amor María Eugenia
Published: February 2019

La presente indagación particulariza en los rituales socializadores mediante los cuales se reproduce y legitima la heteronormatividad y la masculinidad hegemónica en la niñez en los espacios escolares y hacia el interior de los grupos de pares en la ciudad de Moa, comunidad industrial donde la principal actividad económica es la minería y la metalurgia, situada al noreste de Cuba. En esta ciudad las estadísticas de violencia de género tienen un espiral ascendente desde el año 2010 hasta la actualidad. Se enfatiza en la correlación de rituales de la vida cotidiana y la construcción de la identidad masculina en la infancia, enfocado desde la microsociología de Goffman para cuya comprensión se emplea el análisis de los rituales desarrollado por los niños. La investigación contribuyó a aportar una perspectiva de estudio, desde el instrumental del análisis etnográfico donde describimos los rituales socializadores que fortalecen el sistema simbólico patriarcal mediante el cual reproducen su cohesión grupal, socializando a sus hijos dentro de estas normas androcéntricas. El empleo de la metodología dramatúrgica de Goffman posibilitó encontrar las relaciones simbólicas entre los niños y sus iguales adultos, cómo construyen sus identidad masculina a través de una relación dialéctica, en espacios homosocializadores donde generan sentidos en los grupos masculinos, producen representaciones sociales y estas orientan la formación de los habitus masculinos. Donde ocurre además la significación y delimitación de los espacios sociales de lo femenino y lo masculino.
Manuales de lectura y pacificación nacional durante el último postconflicto en Colombia
Authors: Pérez Pinzón Luis Rubén
Published: February 2019

Las estrategias didácticas empleadas para la consolidación del postconflicto y la pacificación del país después de la última guerra civil de Colombia (1899-1902), desde una perspectiva descriptiva y mediante un contraste de fuentes permiten reconocer el papel que cumplió cada libro, cada lectura heroica o moral divulgada en los textos de lectura de uso obligatorio en las escuelas y colegios de Colombia después de 1902. Para tal fin, se demuestra la importancia de las inversiones públicas sobre el discurso de los vencedores, el surgimiento de las editoriales religiosas de censura y unificación de contenidos que promovieron nuevas lecturas e historias patrias sobre Colombia, así como los esfuerzos editoriales de los vencidos después de la Guerra de los Mil Días. Específicamente las publicaciones de excombatientes como Joaquín Quijano y Enrique Otero, quienes dieron a conocer su versión sobre lo acontecido y reafirmaron la importancia de los procesos de paz y la pacificación nacional desde una perspectiva de amor a la patria.

Escrituras de sí: Impotencia e infancia
Authors: Magallanes Romina
Published: February 2019

Resumen: El presente trabajo se propone explorar dos acontecimientos que tienen lugar en la denominadas Escrituras de sí, fundamentalmente en los Diarios de escritor2. Por un lado, las irrupciones de infancia, como entiende este concepto Giorgio Agamben: “Una experiencia originaria, lejos de ser algo subjetivo, no podría ser entonces sino aquello que en el hombre está antes del sujeto, es decir, antes del lenguaje: una experiencia “muda” en el sentido literal del término, una in-fancia del hombre cuyo límite justamente el lenguaje debería señalar” (Agamben, 2007: 64). Por otro lado, la impotencia que habita este tipo de escrituras, que es expresada tanto en la imposibilidad de escribir y no escribir, y cuya exposición se vuelve intensa en una experiencia grafomaníaca -efectuada en la marca ilegible, los garabatos, dibujos, repeticiones, la copia, soportes de la misma, la insignificancia, la compulsión escrituraria, entre otros tópicos, que acontecen en dichas escrituras-, y cómo tal impotencia, antes que elaborar un relato autobiográfico como narración de una vida o de un sujeto, exponen un límite,  una materialidad “muda”, infantil.Este trabajo se enmarca en  el Proyecto de Investigación del Departamento de Literatura y TCP de la UNAB: “Alteraciones, búsquedas, intervenciones de la crítica literaria colombiana actual: notas para abrir la polémica”. Es una investigación en torno a los conceptos que articulan las “escrituras de sí”, núcleo del Proyecto mencionado. Palabras clave: Escritura, infancia, impotencia, materialidad, grafomanía

¿Y para qué poetas en tiempos del malestar? A propósito de Hölderlin y la esencia de la poesía de M. Heidegger
Authors: Celis Carlos
Published: February 2019

El siguiente escrito ofrece una reflexión en torno a la importancia del lenguaje en su realización más propia, a saber, el encuentro con el otro en la conversación. Procura un contrapunto entre la lectura que hace el filósofo alemán Martín Heidegger en Hölderlin y la esencia de la poesía y el lugar que le otorga Freud al poeta en el Malestar en la cultura. Destaca el esfuerzo del trabajo con el lenguaje, el más cándido y peligroso de los bienes, y la labor del poeta como artesano que deconstruye con palabras el silencio eterno de los dioses y funda el ser del hombre en tiempos de crisis.

Published: February 2019

Este artículo presenta las consideraciones expuestas en la investigación “El Periódico 15 en la formación periodística en la Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga”, orientada a documentar la evolución histórica y establecer el papel de este espacio de práctica en la enseñanza del periodismo y elaborada como tesis de grado para optar al título de magíster en Educación de la Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga. Este trabajo no fue un estudio de caso, sino que desarrolló una metodología cualitativa de corte etnográfico, para lo cual se revisaron documentos y tomaron testimonios de estudiantes, directores y docentes que estuvieron vinculados al periódico en los primeros 13 años de actividades. A partir de estos datos se hizo la reconstrucción histórica del medio y se estableció que la experiencia en el periódico permitió a los estudiantes hacer una práctica real del ejercicio periodístico, al aplicar los conocimientos, habilidades y destrezas adquiridas; reconocer su orientación vocacional; conocer de primera mano la cotidianidad del entorno social, escenario natural del periodismo; y desarrollar cualidades como la responsabilidad y la madurez. Además, se encontró que este núcleo integrador debe mantenerse y que se debe hacer un seguimiento permanente a esta experiencia académica, así como fortalecer los aspectos relacionados con el entorno digital y la integración de los cursos relacionados con este escenario de práctica.
La idea de literatura en la "Nueva crítica literaria latinoamericana" (1970-1985)
Authors: Rojas Ajmad Diego
Published: February 2019

La llamada Nueva crítica literaria latinoamericana fue un movimiento continental de renovación de los estudios literarios que surgió en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y que agrupó a destacados estudiosos como Ángel Rama, Antonio Cornejo Polar y Antonio Candido, entre otros. Vista en conjunto, su labor evidencia una persistente lucha por la construcción de un objeto de estudio (la literatura), de un sujeto de investigación (el crítico) y de un espacio inteligible (América Latina) propios, que dieran valor de originalidad y autonomía a una posible ciencia literaria de lo latinoamericano.

La originalidad y objetivo de este artículo radica en la descripción y comprensión de la labor impulsada por la Nueva crítica literaria latinoamericana y su inserción en una larga tradición del discurso crítico que, en América Latina, inicia en el siglo XVII. Pensamos, al igual que de la Campa (1999), que es innegable el aporte de este conjunto de críticos al desarrollo de los estudios literarios latinoamericanos, cuya contribución derivó en un cambio de paradigma en la ciencia literaria que venía haciéndose en el continente, cuyo énfasis radicó en la idea de reenmarcar la obra literaria en su contexto antropológico y social, para que en esta nueva visión el crítico sirviera de sujeto político que coadyuvara a la transformación y reconstrucción de un nuevo espacio plural y democrático llamado “Latinoamérica”.
“Pétalos”. Olfato y obsesión de carácter monstruoso
Authors: Leal Gil Andrés Leal Gil , Hernández Páez Helen
Published: February 2019

Esta reflexión no indaga lo monstruoso en términos de deformidad, sino que rastrea aquello que puede y constituye un ser monstruoso. Del mismo modo, se exploran las relaciones dadas entre el cuerpo, sus olores y los valores asignados a estos a través de la normalidad, en un intercambio dialógico de lo humano, lo inhumano y lo animal, en otras palabras, de lo configurado como monstruoso. Para tejer estos planteamientos, se toma como referencia el cuento “Pétalos” de la mexicana Guadalupe Nettel, en el cual lo monstruoso, vinculado al cuerpo, toma preponderancia por medio del sentido del olfato y olores escatológicos. Se apartará a lo monstruoso de su noción reducida; por el contrario, se abordará en su vínculo con el pensamiento filosófico y arqueológico de diversos autores, como Michel Foucault, David Le Breton, Jean Luc Nancy y Friedrich Nietzsche, con el fin de identificar y localizar puntos de convergencia que arrojen nuevas perspectivas y maneras de abordar la complejidad del cuerpo y los olores que lo configuran alrededor de lo monstruoso.

Does STEM Stand Out? Examining Racial/Ethnic Gaps in Persistence Across Postsecondary Fields
Authors: Riegle-Crumb Catherine , King Barbara , Irizarry Yasmiyn
Published: February 2019

Informed by the theoretical lens of opportunity hoarding, this study considers whether STEM postsecondary fields stand apart via the disproportionate exclusion of Black and Latina/o youth. Utilizing national data from the Beginning Postsecondary Study (BPS), the authors investigate whether Black and Latina/o youth who begin college as STEM majors are more likely to depart than their White peers, either by switching fields or by leaving college without a degree, and whether patterns of departure in STEM fields differ from those in non-STEM fields. Results reveal evidence of persistent racial/ethnic inequality in STEM degree attainment not found in other fields.

Published: February 2019

The issues of climate change, agricultural sustainability and poverty in Malaysia are found to have been connected one with other in an interesting and circular way. The quantitative determination of the linkages between these three factors is certainly a difficult task, which is beyond the scope of the present study. This study is thus primarily aimed at reviewing the linkages between climate change, agricultural sustainability and poverty in Malaysia. Some issues requiring further investigation in order to clearly understand the linkages between climate change, agricultural sustainability and poverty have been suggested. These have been developed with particular reference to appraisals concerned with the development and implementation of social policy, programmes and practices relevant to these three issues. The study closes with some concluding remarks
Private Sector Participation in Infrastructure Development: A Non-Resident Infrastructure Fund in Bangladesh
Authors: Alam Md. Mahmudul , Abu Rashed
Published: February 2019

Infrastructure is considered as the engine of growth for an economy with possibilities of high return for the investors. However, in Bangladesh the infrastructure sector has been suffering a lot due to fund shortage. Bangladesh is one of the highest remittance recipient countries in the world, but the current saving schemes of the country are not enough to attract the non-resident Bangladeshis (NRB). In this situation, an NRB Infrastructure Fund (NIF) can be established, where NRBs will invest in private infrastructure projects like toll roads, private power plant, land and seaport etc. In 2004, the Government prepared the Private Sector Infrastructure Guidelines (PSIG) that emphasized formation of NRB funds for infrastructure sectors. Except for three general mutual funds for NRB under Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB), there has been no other initiative. The viability of the fund remains far below the expectations. This paper proposes an NRB fund for private infrastructure development with option to trade the shares in the local market. The fund will be used for a longer period of time in the company in compliance with the infrastructure project parameters. The paper also provides some technical and commercial proposals for forming such a fund in the country and examines its impacts on the economy as a whole

Generally adaptation policy has different levels and approaches that related with different challenges. Several countries have already prepared their adaptation approaches in their own way. Malaysia is on the way to develop its adaptation policy for last couple of years. This paper focuses on few guidelines that need to examine carefully while determining the climatic change adaptation approach for agricultural sector in Malaysia.
Trade Patterns of Bangladesh with India and China: An Empirical Evidence of the PPP Theory
Authors: Alam Kazi Ashraful , Uddin Gazi Salah , Alam Md. Mahmudul
Published: February 2019

The paper examines the existence of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory for both Bangladesh and its two important trading partners- India and China. The PPP theory is an attempt to explain and perhaps more importantly measure statistically, the equilibrium rate of exchange and its variation by means of the price levels and their variations in different countries. The main purpose of the study is to get a comparative picture of trade balance between Bangladesh (home country) and two major trade partners, i.e. India and China (foreign countries) over a given period of time by using the PPP . The empirical results of the study provides an explanation of how relative inflation rates (changes of price level) between two countries can influence an exchange rate and also critically focuses on the degree of deviation between countries which may help to draw a forecast long-run movements in exchange rates. Finally the results also specify about the trade patterns among the countries and fairly conclude the efficient and beneficial trade partner in respect of Bangladesh with India and China.

Increase value and reduce waste in research on psychological therapies
Authors: Cristea Ioana , Florian NAUDET
Published: February 2019

A seminal Lancet series focussed on increasing value and reducing waste in biomedical research, providing a transferrable template to diagnose problems in research. Our goal was to document how some of these sources of waste apply to mental health and particularly psychological treatments research. We synthesize and critically evaluate empirical findings in relation to four major sources: i) defining research priorities; ii) research design, methods and analysis; iii) accessibility of research information; iv) accuracy and usability of research reports. We demonstrate that each source of waste considered is well-represented and amply documented within this field. We describe hype and insufficient consideration of what is known in defining research priorities, persistent risk of bias, particularly due to selective outcome reporting, for psychotherapy trials across mental disorders, intellectual and financial biases, direct and indirect evidence of publication bias, largely inexistent adoption of data sharing, issues of multiplicity and fragmentation of data and findings, and insufficient adoption of reporting guidelines.We expand on a few general solutions, including supporting meta-research, properly testing interventions to increase research quality, placing open science at the center of psychological treatment research and remaining critical particularly regarding the strains of research currently prioritized, such as experimental psychopathology.
