Published: February 2021

Giant Cell Tumor on Tendon Sheath (GCTTS) of the hand is a benign nodular tumor originated from tendon sheath of the tendons and the joints and is the second most common soft tissue tumor of the hand after ganglion cyst. The aim of this study is to evaluate 79 cases of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath of the hand and to analyze the postoperative functional outcomes and recurrence rate of the tumor in a mean period of five years follow up. Material and Methods: Fifty five subjects were females and twenty four males with an average age of 38,8 years-old (range23-65 years old) were included in this study. The most frequent location of tumor was the index finger (32/79 patients, 40,5%). The majority of patients was presented in outpatient’s clinic for a painless swelling on volar side of the digit, while only 13(16,45%) patients presented for painful mass and numbness of the digit in 7(8,9%) cases. All cases were categorized by Al-Qattan classification system with type I lesion in 51(64,5 %) cases and type II in 28(35,5 %) cases. Dimension of tumors macroscopically varied from 0,4cm to 5 cm. In 12 cases we reconstructed the A2 pulley to avoid bowstring deformity and eventual postoperative loss of hand function. In 12 cases we reconstructed the A2 pulley to avoid bowstring deformity and eventual postoperative loss of hand function. 8 patents with bone erosion underwent postoperatively complementary local radiotherapy. A standard protocol of rehabilitation was performed in all patients. Results: Results were evaluated according to complications, range of motion, Quick Dash Score and functional satisfaction of patients in a mean follow-up of 49 months. Two major complications presented in this study: 5 cases with transitional neuroapraxia and 6 cases with recurrence of the tumor with a mean of postsurgical period 14,8 months. Finally at last assessment the mean Quick Dash Score was 4,5 (range from 0-11,4) the range of motion was fully recovered in 73 patients while patient’s satisfaction rated from “very satisfied” in 58(73,4%) cases, “satisfied” in 17(21,5) and “dissatisfied” in 4(5,1%) patients. Conclusions: Giant cell tumor of tendon sheath of the hand is a common tumor which presents a high incidence of recurrence in different populations of patients. The goal of treatment is to reduce the recurrence rate and restore a functional hand. The operation procedure should be well planned preoperatively, the tumor must excised en block, dissection must be under surgical loop and must be emphasized to remove satellite lesion while when patients present increased risk factors or inadequate excision of the mass, postoperative radiotherapy is performed.

Published: February 2021

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which have been described as organohalogenic and legacy contaminants that are hazardous to both wildlife and man. The paucity of ecotoxicological data on the PCB content in commercially important fish in Benin Metropolis, Nigeria, warranted this research. In this stead, the PCB profile in the Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus, Family: Clupeidae, mean length=31.59 cm; Mean weight=274.98 g) marketed in Benin Metropolis, was determined via Gas Chromatographic technique in order to evaluate its suitability for human consumption and to provide baseline data for this contaminant in commercially important fish species. The summary statistics for the mean concentrations of detectable PCBs in C. harengus ranged from 0.019 mg/kg (PCB 118, 156) to 0.434 mg/kg (PCB 126), with a total of 0.581 mg/kg (w/w) while the mean concentrations of PCBs in C. harengus by market ranged from 0.012 mg/kg (PCB 118) at Santana market to 0.526 mg/kg (PCB 126) at New Benin market with no observed significant difference (p>0.05) in the mean concentrations of PCBs in fish between markets. The toxicity quotient (TQ) values for PCBs in C. harengus ranged from 0.0095 (PCB 118, 156) to 0.217(PCB 126) while the estimated daily intake (EDI) values in mg/person/day for PCBs ranged from 0.00076 (PCB 118, 156) to 0.017 (PCB 126). A toxic equivalency (TEQ) value of 0.04342 while the total PCB content in C. harengus according to market ranged from 0.469 mg/kg (Santana market) to 0.658 mg/kg (Uselu market). The total toxicity of mixtures (TTM) index was 0.291. The PCB levels in fish decreased below International threshold values suggesting suitability for human consumption. Continous monitoring of this fish species for toxic concentrations of PCBs was proferred.

MENINGKATKAN KEPERCAYAAN DIRI PADA REMAJA DENGAN METODE COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING
Authors: Riyanti Chika , Darwis Rudi Saprudin
Published: February 2021

ABSTRAKSalah satu periode dalam tahap perkembangan adalah masa remaja. Masa remaja menjadi masa peralihan dari kanak-kanak menuju dewasa dimana terjadi beberapa kesulitan yang akan dihadapi baik oleh remaja maupun oleh orang tuanya. Tidak sedikit remaja yang tidak dapat merasakan peran dan fungsi dari orang tua mereka dikarenakan beberapa kondisi yang harus mereka hadapi seperti tinggal di panti asuhan. Remaja yang berada di panti asuhan dituntut untuk dapat melakukan penyesuaian diri secara baik. Penyesuaian diri yang mengalami hambatan akan mengganggu seseorang berperan serta berfungsi dalam kelompoknya. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan remaja sulit melakukan penyesuaian diri dengan lingkungannya, salah satunya adalah keyakinan pada kemampuan diri yang disebut dengan kepercayaan diri. Permasalahan tidak percaya diri akan menghambat perkembangannya dalam bersosialisasi, mengembangkan potensi yang ia miliki, mengenal dirinya sendiri, dan tugas perkembangan lainnya. Permasalahan tidak percaya diri ini diketahui merupakan akibat dari adanya pikiran-pikiran negatif (distori kognitif) yang berdampak pada perilaku remaja. Salah satu metode yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri ialah dengan menggunakan cognitive restructuring form. Cognitive restructuring menekankan kepada kekuatan pikiran yang positif dan logis. Tujuan dari teknik cognitive restructuring secara umum adalah untuk merubah pikiran-pikiran negatif terhadap permasalahan yang dimiliki oleh klien menjadi pikiran yang lebih positif, sehingga pikiran tersebut berimplikasi terhadap sikap dan perilaku yang diambil oleh klien. ABSTRACTOne of the periods in the developmental stage is adolescence. Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood where several difficulties will be faced by both adolescents and by their parents. Not a few teenagers are unable to feel the role and function of their parents due to several conditions they have to face, such as living in an orphanage. Teens who are in orphanages are required to be able to adjust well. The adjustment that experiences obstacles will interfere with a person participating and functioning in the group. Many factors make it difficult for adolescents to adjust to their environment, one of which is the belief in self-efficacy which is called self-confidence. The problem of insecurity will hinder his development in socializing, developing his potential, knowing himself, and other developmental tasks. The problem of insecurity is known to be the result of negative thoughts (cognitive distortion) that have an impact on adolescent behavior. One method that can be used to increase self-confidence is to use the cognitive restructuring form. Cognitive restructuring emphasizes the power of positive and logical thoughts. The purpose of cognitive restructuring techniques, in general, is to change negative thoughts about the problems the client has into more positive thoughts so that these thoughts have implications for the attitudes and behaviors taken by the client.
Sistemas del ethos terapéutico a través de la revista Miss 17: Inculcando un modelo sexoafectivo en las adolescentes de un Chile posdictatorial
Authors: Radrigán Valeria
Published: February 2021

El texto analiza el poder del discurso médico (ethos terapéutico) para transmitir valores y prescribir conductas respecto a lo sexual por medio de revistas femeninas. Se toma como caso emblemático a Miss 17, surgida hacia fines de la dictadura militar en Chile y única revista para adolescentes en el país. Mediante una metodología cualitativa y exploratoria, y desde la perspectiva del análisis del discurso, se ofrece una lectura crítica de dos artículos de la sección “Sexo Sentido”. Dada la ausencia de otras fuentes de educación sexual en la época, se concluye que la revista es una fuente primaria para inculcar un modelo sexoafectivo, en las jóvenes chilenas, caracterizado por una interrelación sistémica del ethos terapéutico con la Iglesia y la familia como dispositivos disciplinadores de la sexualidad.
Six Reasons to Discard Wave Particle Duality: Thereby Opening New Territory for Young Scientists to Explore
Authors: Boyd Jeffrey
Published: February 2021

Wave particle duality is a cornerstone of quantum chemistry and quantum mechanics (QM). But there are experiments it cannot explain, such as a neutron interferometer experiment. If QM uses Ψ as its wavefunction, several experiments suggest that nature uses -Ψ instead. The difference between -Ψ and +Ψ is that they describe entirely different pictures of how nature is organized. For example, with -Ψ quantum particles follow waves backwards, which is incompatible with wave-particle-duality, obviously. We call the -Ψ proposal the Theory of Elementary Waves (TEW). It unlocks opportunities for young scientists with no budget to conduct the basic research for a new, unexplored science. This is a dream come true for young scientists: the discovery of uncharted territory. We show how TEW explains the double slit, Pfleegor Mandel and Davisson Germer experiments, Feynman diagrams and the Bell test experiments. We provide innovative research designs for which -Ψ and +Ψ would predict divergent outcomes. What makes QM so accurate is its probability predictions. But Born’s law would yield the same probabilities if it were changed from P = |+Ψ |2 to P = |-Ψ |2. This article is accompanied by a lively YouTube video, “6 reasons to discard wave particle duality.”

Authors: Bautista Mendo Jorge , Camarero Orive Alberto , González-Cancelas Nicoletta , Molina Serrano Beatriz
Published: February 2021

El Marco Estratégico portuario español vigente data del año 1998, durante más de 20 años ha sido el soporte del modelo portuario español, siendo uno de los principales pilares del desarrollo de los puertos españoles. Derivado de los grandes cambios internos y externos al propio sistema se hace fundamental una actualización del Marco Estratégico vigente, siendo necesario reformular las grandes líneas estratégicas y criterios de actuación del sector. Se pretende con este trabajo, tras un análisis de la situación del sistema marítimo español y de las tendencias globales, plantear una serie de propuestas que sirvan de marco para el desarrollo del sistema portuario, de forma que empresas, administraciones portuarias, trabajadores y la sociedad en su conjunto se puedan beneficiar de la aplicación de unas políticas encaminadas al desarrollo competitivo de los puertos en el contexto internacional. La metodología propuesta es un análisis DAFO partiendo de la definición de unos objetivos estratégicos para el nuevo marco estratégico, el paso previó será un benchmarking internacional que permita conocer las tendencias del sector en todo el mundo. Como principal conclusión se destaca que las Autoridades Portuarias han de seguir avanzando en el modelo Landlord, sin embargo, deben de cambiar de enfoque, evitando convertirse únicamente en un propietario pasivo de las infraestructuras portuarias sino en un facilitador de las actividades y servicios realizando una gestión más proactiva, incentivando la competencia intraportuaria y con miras a conseguir los objetivos estratégicos planteados.
Correlating Affective Commitment with Prosocial Behavior: Does Perceived Meaningfulness at Work Matter?
Authors: Contreras-Pacheco Orlando Enrique , Vecino-Arenas Carlos Enrique , Lesmez-Peralta Juan Camilo
Published: February 2021

The present work studies the engagement of prosocial behavior as an antecedent of affective commitment within for-profit organizations. In order to accomplish this, the work focuses on the role of positive feelings. It tests a partial least square-structural equation model using a cross-sectional survey of 144 professional employees from several Colombian industries. Results obtained show that prosocial behavior is associated with affective commitment, but only with the intervention of meaningfulness at work. These associations provide insight into professional employees’ attitudes towards the search for intrinsic motivation and engagement in for-profit organizational environments. Further implications revolve around the justification for working on practices that not only found and foster prosocial behavior in the workplace but also promote skill variety, task identity, and task meaningfulness to obtain adequate levels of engagement and commitment. Finally, since most studies have been conducted in developed countries, this study also contributes to a better understanding of the topic in previously unexplored contexts. In this case, a Latin American emerging economy, like Colombia.

Published: February 2021

The problem articulated in this article is associated with the role of physical education within the modern system of education, its value potential and difficulties currently experienced by this branch. The role of physical education consists in the development of physical culture of an individual and the related components of basic personality culture, solution of social and public tasks. The subject of this research is the sphere of physical culture and supply of professional personnel. Physical education instructors should possess personal and professional competences for working with children and teaching sports; such profession imposes numerous requirements that have to be fulfilled by a specialist. The established situation affects the human resource potential in this sphere and prospects overall. The conducted empirical research reveal correlation between the importance of the subject of “physical culture” in school and popularity of the specialty of physical culture among graduates. It was determined the students’ attitude on the subject of “physical culture” in many ways depends on personality of the pedagogue. At the same time, in modern school, the pedagogues face pressure from the school community, which reduces the importance of this subject and its educational potential. All of these facts shape students’ opinion on the profession of physical culture instructor as an unpromising specialty. The school experience of physical culture later manifests in the university. The conclusion is made on the shortage of specialists that meet the demands of profession in the area of physical culture on the current job market. The solution of this problem may be found through heightening interest of the youth to this profession through the development of stable positive attitude towards physical culture.

The Grammar of Well-Being
Authors: Aikhenvald Alexandra Y.
Published: February 2021

Ways of talking about diseases, ailments, convalescence, and well-being vary from language to language. In some, an ailment 'hits' or 'gets' the person; in others, the sufferer 'catches' an ailment, comes to be a 'container' for it, or is presented as a 'fighter' or a 'battleground'. In languages with obligatory expression of information source, the onslaught of disease is treated as 'unseen', just like any kind of internal feeling or shamanic activity. Different stages of disease — covering its onset, progression, wearing off, recovery, and cure — form ‘the trajectory of well-being’. Our main focus is on grammatical means employed in talking about various phases of disease and well-being, and how these correlate with perception and conceptualization of disease and its progression and demise. I offer a brief taxonomy of grammatical schemas and means employed across the languages of the world. I then turn to a study of terminologies and grammatical schemas employed in the trajectory of well-being in Tariana, an Arawak language from north-west Amazonia (Brazil), with special focus on cultural and cognitive motivations. The emergence and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected ways of speaking about this disease among the Tariana, especially with regard to the origins and the onset of this affliction.

O objetivo do artigo foi discutir as atualizações terapêuticas que auxiliam no tratamento da Epidermólise Bolhosa (EB) em crianças e adolescentes. A EB é uma doença hereditária (autossômica dominante) causada por uma mutação nas proteínas de ancoragem entre a derme e a epiderme, manifestando-se com a formação de bolhas que afetam a pele e a mucosa. O tratamento requer uma equipe multiprofissional capacitada para o adequado controle multissistêmico do paciente, visto que ainda não há cura para a doença. Foi realizada uma revisão não sistematizada da literatura sobre os possíveis tratamentos farmacológicos de forma tópica e sistêmica, como a gentamicina e banhos de água salgada, e não farmacológicos, como uso de curativos, autoenxertos epidérmicos e terapias imunológicas e genéticas, a fim de garantir proteção das lesões e prevenir infecções secundárias e outras síndromes. A conclusão foi que por ser uma patologia ainda considerada rara e com dados de prevalência ainda baixos, seria ideal o uso combinado de diferentes estratégias terapêuticas, de acordo com a gravidade clínica das lesões, no cuidado paliativo de pacientes portadores de Epidermólise Bolhosa.

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos acidentes de trabalho graves notificados no estado da Bahia, entre 2007 a 2017. Métodos: Estudo ecológico, de natureza descritiva, onde foram obtidos dados das fichas de investigação epidemiológica. A unidade de observação dos dados foi apresentada de acordo com as nove macrorregiões de saúde do estado. A análise baseada na estatística descritiva. Resultados: Foram notificados 20.345 acidentes graves no período em questão; observou-se um incremento de 93% na incidência de casos, com frequência maior nos homens jovens, cor parda, ensino fundamental incompleto. Grande subnotificação na variável que identifica as atividades econômicas e quanto à ocupação, a categoria de produção de bens e serviços I, foi a mais representativa. Predominaram os acidentes típicos, sendo as instalações do contratante apontadas como local do acidente mais frequente. Observada grande subnotificação para a Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho (40,5%), sendo 91% das notificações com necessidade de atendimento médico. Conclusão: Mesmo diante às limitações que esse sistema de informação apresenta, observou-se que os acidentes graves representam um fenômeno de incidência expressiva em todo estado. Tais achados requerem atenção dos gestores, nas ações voltadas à melhoria das condições de trabalho e saúde, maior compromisso das instituições empregadoras e classe trabalhadora.

Objetivo: Avaliar se os níveis de vitamina D séricos tem correlação com os níveis intraósseos de OPG (Osteoprotegerina) / RANKL (ligante do receptor ativador do fator nuclear kappa Beta (NF-kB)). Métodos: Oito participantes de pesquisa selecionados no curso de especialização em Implantodontia da Universidade Federal Fluminense foram incluídos neste estudo piloto e divididos em 2 grupos: 1) grupo controle (nível sérico adequado de vitamina D; n=5) e 2) grupo teste (insuficiência de vitamina D sérica; n=3). Amostras de sangue intraósseo foram coletadas no alvéolo cirúrgico, no momento da instalação do implante, e submetidas ao isolamento de RNA total usando o reagente Trizol®.  A reação de transcriptase reversa foi realizada para síntese do DNA complementar (cDNA) usando 300 ng de RNA. A expressão dos genes OPG e RANKL foi avaliada pela reação em cadeia da polimerase quantitativa (RT-PCR), utilizando o sistema de detecção SYBR Green Master Mix. Resultados: Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos, em relação à análise de expressão gênica de OPG/RANKL (p=0.78), OPG (p=0.5) e RANKL (p=0.5). Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo piloto não evidenciaram correlação entre alterações nos níveis séricos de vitamina D e marcadores da remodelação óssea.

Objetivo: Estimar o índice de reinternações de lactentes em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal em Manaus, Amazonas. Métodos: Estudo transversal, conduzido com 860 lactentes com histórico de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal antes de completar 28 dias de vida, admitidos em uma maternidade pública de Manaus, entre os anos de 2014 e 2019. Os dados foram obtidos de prontuários e livros de admissão e alta da instituição. Para a análise dos dados foram conduzidas análises descritivas e para identificar as associações entre variáveis aplicou-se o teste Exato de Fisher. Resultados: O índice de reinternação de lactentes na unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal foi de 4,8%, com predominância do sexo masculino (64,2%), nascidos via cirurgia cesárea (66,6%), com idade gestacional ≤ 36 semanas (78,5%). A maior prevalência de causa da reinternação foi às doenças infecciosas e parasitárias (54,7%). O baixo peso ao nascer esteve associado à reinternação (p=0,04). Conclusão: O índice de reinternação e as causas de reinternação em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal sugere a necessidade de se discutir a qualidade e organização da assistência perinatal no município de Manaus.

Objetivo: Avaliar o uso da ventilação não invasiva (VNI) por pressão positiva  em crianças com insuficiência respiratória aguda (IRA) internadas em emergência. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal, retrospectivo, analítico. Coleta de dados de prontuários (1 de julho de 2014 a 30 de outubro de 2016). Estudaram-se variáveis demográficas e clínicas e o desfecho dos pacientes: positivo (macronebulizacão) ou negativo (ventilação mecânica invasiva). Foi empregada a escala de Wood Downes (EWD) para insuficiência respiratória. Utilizada estatística descritiva e regressão logística univariada e multivariada para estudar as variáveis relacionadas ao desfecho. Resultados: Havia 27(51%) pacientes do sexo feminino; 21(39,6%) com bronquiolite; 20 (37,7%) com pneumonia e 12(22,7%) com asma. Observou-se que quanto menor a idade maior a probabilidade de desfecho negativo (p < 0,001). Para cada aumento de 1 unidade na EWD pré VNI, o risco de desfecho positivo diminuiu em 75%.  A cada aumento de 1 unidade na saturação de O2(Sat O2) pós VNI, o risco de desfecho positivo aumentou três vezes seu valor (p< 0,001). Conclusão: Avaliou-se que o uso da VNI em crianças com IRA foi influenciado negativamente pela baixa idade e pelo aumento na EWD e positivamente pelo aumento da Sat O2 pós VNI.

Objetivo: Analisar o uso das ferramentas gerenciais de enfermagem na prática dos enfermeiros que desempenham suas atividades nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) em um município do Pará. Métodos: Este estudo é do tipo descritivo transversal de natureza quantitativa. A população foi composta por 9 enfermeiros que atuavam nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) daquela cidade. A coleta dos dados ocorreu através da Plataforma Digital Google forms, em formulário em escala Likert. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: Duas dimensões alcançaram médias superiores a 75 a saber “trabalho em equipe” (85) e “utilização/Conhecimento das ferramentas gerenciais no trabalho na UBS” (77), sendo consideradas como atitudes positivas pelos entrevistados. Conclusão: No presente estudo, observou-se que a aplicação das ferramentas gerenciais faz parte das atividades diárias dos enfermeiros, tendo esses profissionais uma percepção positiva quanto a temática. No entanto, acredita-se que discussões mais aprodundadas devem ser realizadas com vistas a subsidiar propostas que contribuam efetivamente para o processo de trabalho gerencial do enfermeiro.

Objetivo: Propor um modelo de simulador de injeção laringoplástica fabricado através da impressão 3D e outros materiais de baixo custo. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo experimental descritivo. A modelagem das estruturas osteocartilaginosas da laringe foi feita a partir de imagens adquiridas através de radiografia do pescoço nas incidências perfil e anteroposterior de um adulto jovem do sexo masculino. Foi utilizada impressora 3D modelo FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) com o filamento plástico ácido poliláctico para impressão do arcabouço osteocartilaginoso da laringe. As pregas vocais foram representadas através de dedos de luva. Resultados: O arcabouço laríngeo foi modelado de forma a possuir área de encaixe das pregas vocais, ao nível da glote. A base e a estrutura de suporte foram feitas a partir de placa de fibra de madeira sintética de média densidade, sendo fixado o arcabouço laríngeo nesta através de sistema de ímãs. A simulação se dá através da injeção do material no interior das pregas vocais, sendo observado o aumento de volume destas. Conclusão: Foi observado alto grau de fidelidade na representação anatômica e das propriedades táteis do arcabouço osteocartilaginoso, que somado a alta reprodutibilidade e baixo custo torna possível a integração na prática diária dos serviços de residência como nova metodologia de ensino.
