Topofilia: razones del retorno de mujeres y familias campesinas
Authors: Soto Caro Tatiana
Published: May 2017

La confrontación armada vivida en el Oriente Antioqueño, provocó una serie de transformaciones en los modos de vida y las relaciones sociales de sus pobladores, quienes, pese al desplazamiento, deciden retornar a sus territorios por iniciativa propia con o sin ayuda del Estado, para reconstruir su proyecto de vida. Es así como los campesinos retornan a sus tierras movidos por las precariedades económicas que viven en el lugar al que llegaron desplazados, pero también por fuertes sentimientos de apego al lugar y al entono que habitaban. Un concepto que enmarca estos sentimientos de apego es el de topofilia, que comprende los vínculos afectivos del ser humano con su entorno. No obstante, hombres y mujeres dan sentido a su entorno de maneras diferentes, le dan significados distintos dependiendo de los roles que asumen en la sociedad y según los marcados roles de género que influyen en las maneras de percibir el entorno, el apegarse a él, además de las implicaciones que tienen dichos roles en la construcción social del territorio.

Objective: To define recurrence pattern of endometrioid type endometrium cancer performed adjuvant radiotherapy.Study Design: 351 patients who underwent at least total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (vaginal brachytherapy or pelvic radiotherapy or both) for endometrioid type endometrium carcinoma were included. The patients who received systemic adjuvant treatment after surgery were excluded from the study except for 18 patients who received concomitant chemo-radiotherapy. Recurrence was categorized as pelvic recurrence included areas distal to the pelvic inlet, as abdominal recurrence included areas between pelvic inlet and diaphragm and findings such as ascites and peritonitis carcinomatosa, and the rest of recurrences including lung, cutaneous, liver parenchyma and bone as extra-abdominal recurrence.Results: The median age was 57 years (range; 29-82). 236 patients had stage I, 25 had stage II, 63 had stage III and 14 had stage IV disease (by FIGO 2009). Lymph node metastasis was determined in 21.8% of patients who underwent lymphadenectomy (n: 289). The median follow-up time was 46 months (range; 1-190). Throughout follow-up, recurrence was developed in 55 (15.7%) patients. Only pelvic recurrence was determined in 11 (3.1%) patients. There was recurrence beyond the pelvis in 44 (80%) of the recurrent patients. Thirty-five (%63.6) of recurrent patients had extra-abdominal recurrence. Twenty-three (41.8%) of recurrent patients had stage IB disease. The recurrence developed in 10% of patients with stage I&II, whereas it was occurred in 31% of patients with stage III&IV (p<0.0001).Conclusion: Radiotherapy provides local control of the disease, but recurrence is likely to be extra-pelvic and extra-abdominal in this patient group.
Current Concepts - Congenital Scoliosis
Authors: Tikoo Agnivesh , Kothari Manish K. , Shah Kunal , Nene Abhay
Published: May 2017

Background:

Congenital scoliosis is one of the ‘difficult to treat’ scenarios which a spine surgeon has to face. Multiple factors including the age of child at presentation, no definite pattern of deformity and associated anomalies hinder the execution of the ideal treatment plan. All patients of congenital scoliosis need to be investigated in detail. X rays and MRI of spine is usually ordered first. Screening investigations to rule out VACTERL (Visceral, Anorectal, Cardiac, Tracheo-esophageal fistula, Renal and Lung) abnormalities are required. They are cardiac echocardiography and ultrasonography of abdomen and pelvis. CT scan is required to understand the complex deformity and is helpful in surgical planning.

Methods:

A comprehensive medical literature review was done to understand the current surgical and non surgical treatment options available. An attempt was made to specifically study limitations and advantages of each procedure.

Results:

The treatment of congenital scoliosis differs with respect to the age of presentation. In adults with curves more than 50 degrees or spinal imbalance the preferred treatment is osteotomy and correction. In children the goals are different and treatment strategy has to be varied according to the age of patient. A single or two level hemivertebra can easily be treated with hemivertebra excision and short segment fusion. However, more than 3 levels or multiple fused ribs and chest wall abnormalities require a guided growth procedure to prevent thoracic insufficiency syndrome. The goal of management in childhood is to allow guided spine growth till the child reaches 10 - 12 years of age, when a definitive fusion can be done. The current research needs to be directed more at the prevention and understanding the etiology of the disease. Till that time, diagnosing the disease early and treating it before the sequels set in, is of paramount importance.

Conclusion:

The primary aim of treatment of congenital scoliosis is to allow the expansion of chest and abdominal cavity, while keeping the deformity under control. Various methods can be categorized into definitive (hemivertebrectomy) or preventive (guided growth). Casting, Growth rods, Convex Epiphysiodesis are all guided growth measures. The guided growth procedure either ‘corrects the deformity’ or will have to be converted to a final fusion surgery once the child completes the spinal growth which is preferably done around 10 - 12 years of age. Future directions should aim at genetic counselling and early detection.

Swines are extremely sensitive animals to ambient temperature changes, and react negatively when exposed to high ambient temperatures, since they have limited capacity for heat dissipation. This review aimed to address the main deleterious effects of high ambient temperatures on the reproductive capability of male pigs and nutritional changes used to reduce them. In breeding males under heat stress, there are decreases in semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and experience a greater increase in abnormal sperm. Besides the traditional changes in the structures of buildings and equipment, the change in the nutrition of male pigs affected by heat stress has shown positive results, especially the addition of some nutrients in food animals such as Vitamin E, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium.

The cell death can be a physiological process, related with the phases of the development of the organism or with processes that involves the maintenance of this, or be a pathological process, which never is programmed and occurs after cellular injury or when it has involvement of the hemostasis. The apoptosis process is extremely important in the development, hemostasis, control of neoplasia and in the functions of the immune system, beyond the removal of defective, injured or reactive cells in excess. Apoptosis is a process in which the cell dies by programmed form without the presence of inflammation. There are evidences that all the animal cells express constituently the proteins necessary to promote apoptosis, a complex process that involves a variability of signaling ways that take multiple changes in the cell in death process. The cell death is associated with the renewal of damaged cells or cells that do not receive support from its microenvironment (survival factors). In the course of the immune response, the cell death mainly neutralizes excessive clonal expansion for two mechanisms: privation of factors of growth and for the Activation-Induced Cell Death (AICD).

The natural regrowth of Axonopus aureus in native pasture of Roraima´s savannas was evaluated, during early rainy period. The parameters measured were dry matter (DM) yields and grass morphogenetic and structural characteristics. The experimental design was a completely randomized, with four replications. The treatments consisted of four cutting plants age (21, 35, 49 and 63 days after beginning of the rainy period). Evaluations were carried out during the period of June to August of 2009. The green and total DM, number of tillers/plant, number of axillary tillers/plant, number of live tillers/plant, number of live leaves/tiller and leaf area were directly proportional to plant age. The leaf appearance and elongation rate were negatively affected by plant age, while the dead DM was not affected by plant age. Considering the low green DM availability of A. aureus, its recommends the utilization of some management practice, preferentially grazing or mowing, to remove the dead DM with low nutrition value and permit a grass vigorous regrowth in the beginning of the rainy period.

A literature review and field research were made in rodeos in the state of Minas Gerais to analyze the effects of equipment (sedém, American rope and spurs), used in rodeo bulls during practice, and analyze their own equipment doing the same measurements, to identify regions of the animal's body that suffer the most injuries while riding and also assess whether there is any relationship between the side of falling for pedestrians, the hand that holds the pawn and the direction of rotation during the bull riding with the side of the animal body where injuries occurred. 231 animals were observed in rodeos after riding in the back and it was observed that 68.80% of the analyzed animals have not suffered any injury due to use of equipment. The region that showed more lesions were from the sidewalls, which may be due to the region of greatest contact between animal and pedestrian. The results also showed that statistically there is no relationship between the side of falling for pedestrians, the hand that holds the pawn and the direction of rotation during the bull riding with the side on which there was injury to animals.

The effects of cutting plant age (21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63 and 70 days) on dry matter (DM) yield, and radiation use efficiency (RUE) of Axonopus aureus, during rainy season, were evaluated under natural field conditions. DM yields, absolute growth rate (AGR), crop growth and relative growth rates and leaf area increased consistently with growth stage. The relations between DM yield and AGR with cutting plants age were described by the quadratic regression model. The maximum DM yield, AGR and RUE were estimated at 65.4; 48.8 and 47.9 days of regrowth, respectively. The response of forage yield to incident photosynthetically active radiation was quadratic and maximum value estimated at 483.4 MJ/m2, which corresponded to 1,257 kg of DM/ha. These data suggest that cutting at 49 to 56 days were optimal for obtain maximum dry matter yields and improved the incident RUE.

Chromium is a mineral that exists in different valences. The hexavalent one is considered toxic. For supplemental feed, the used valence is trivalent. Many reports consider the trivalent safe for animals feeding. Chromium works as a potentiator of insulin activity and also provokes some direct or indirect effects on the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Some studies have shown that the presence of chromium decreases plasmatic cortisol at the time that animals are subject to stress. There are also reports of direct action of chromium on the immune system. About fish, it is believed that organic and inorganic sources can provide positive effects on the activity of insulin, on plasmatic cortisol, on the immune system and on the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and protein. This paper aims to show many researches with different species of fish with chromium supplementation, showing changes in plasmatic cortisol, glucose, cholesterol, immunologic system, protein and carbohydrates metabolism.

The swine meat beyond being the consumed animal protein source more in the world greatly contributes with the world economy with its volume of production and exportation. It bears mentioning also, its social importance through the generation of jobs indirect right-handers and its contribution in the growth of the local economy. However, one expects that this growth is gradual, as consequence of works and programs of spreading of the nutrition quality of the meat swine and its benefits to the health. New cuts come being launched in the market, the nutrition quality and palatability go if adjusting to the demanding consuming market and increasing the perspectives in the consumption of the meat swine. In such a way, the aim of this revision is describe historically and to analyze the positive and negative points of the production and commercialization of the meat swine telling to the trends and perspectives of market, national and international, detaching the conditioning of the consumption in Brazil, and determining possible solutions to revert the current situation of its low consumption.

Parvovírus suíno (PPV) provoca importantes perdas econômicas em suínos decorrentes de problemas reprodutivos como morte fetal, mumificação ou aborto. Vários estudos sorológicos ou de incidência do PPV foram realizados em vários estados do Brasil, mas não há informações sobre a ocorrência do PPV nos rebanhos suínos do estado da Bahia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi pesquisar a resposta imune para o PPV durante a vida reprodutiva das fêmeas suínas. O estudo foi realizado em onze fazendas escolhidas aleatoriamente (com ou sem vacinação) de diferentes regiões da Bahia. Os animais em estudo foram reprodutoras (n = 221) em lactação entre 10 meses a 5 anos de idade. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas de reprodutoras vacinadas ou sem vacinar para determinar os níveis de anticorpos contra o PPV através da técnica de inibição da hemaglutinação (HI). Os resultados mostraram que 94,12% (208/221) do total das reprodutoras em estudo tinham títulos protetores de anticorpos (≥ 1:80). Nas fêmeas de rebanhos sem vacinar os títulos HI foram desde 1:195 até 1: 48.488. Nas fazendas que vacinam foi encontrado que 56,11% das fêmeas tinham títulos HI ≥ 1: 2560. O analise da resposta imune depois de varias doses de vacina nestes rebanhos demonstra que múltiplas vacinações pós-parto podem bloquear a resposta imunológica. Destes resultados surge que PPV está circulando nos rebanhos suínos da Bahia e que segundo os títulos HI detectados, as reprodutoras destes rebanhos vacinados ou não, estariam protegidas contra a infecção viral.

The cyclic changes in reproduction and behavior of mares may be related, in considerable numbers, ovarian changes. Comparative procedures with the standard form of blood sampling for biopsy, when surgical excision or necropsy, determine quality in evaluating the results. The sample collection for ovarian biopsy using a needle sharp Trucut type, was tested in randomly selected pieces of slaughterhouse Itapetinga in Itapetinga - BA. Defining tissue planes by the morphology of the provision (cellular dense, turgid and collagenized), and performing the comparison of results in relation to the standard form of harvest, which did not differ significantly, demonstrating the representativeness of the new technique. Three modes of assessment were used to compare the tissue planes within the same sample (percentage of area occupied by cells, the organizational level of cells, chromaticism of the cell nucleus), resulting in significant differences between the areas of tissue planes per sample. We conclude that this is a new approach to the use of less invasive procedures and trauma, when the sample collection for ovarian biopsy in mares and may eventually join the minimally invasive surgeries, such as for transluminal endoscopic surgery natural orifices (NOTES).

The urinary tract infections (UTI) occur usually when there is a temporary or permanent failure in the mechanisms of host defense and sufficient number of mainly bacteria that multiply and persist in a portion of the urinary tract. We collected 26 urine samples obtained by cystocentesis in dogs with clinical signs of UTI, in 2010, the Center for Animal Control and the Veterinary Hospital at Fesurv, located in Rio Verde-GO, with the objective to establish the rate of UTI, the etiologic agents and antibiotic susceptibility. All samples were subjected to urinalysis and urine culture to also. There were bacteriuria in 16 urinalysis and only four samples with positive culture. The identification of the bacteria was performed by traditional biochemical methods and antibiotic susceptibility by disk diffusion method. There was a higher incidence of UTI in females. Gram-negative isolates were Citrobacter sp and Klebsiella sp. And among the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, S. saprophyticus and S. epidermis were most prevalent. The antibiotic nitrofurantoin, tetracycline, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, norfloxacin, erythromycin and enrofloxacin were effective in the treatment of Gram-positive and only cephalothin and enrofloxacin in the treatment of Gram-negative bacteria. The results reinforce the need for knowledge of antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria causing UTI, to prevent the misuse of antibiotics.

Late complications of spinal cord injury in cats are not well known. Current imaging methods allow the acquisition of more detailed information and guide the choice of treatment. We evaluated 22 cats, and in 6, we draw an epidemiological late traumatic lesions in the spinal cord, characterizing by means of computed tomography (CT), its natural evolution. The causes of trauma in the animals evaluated were falling through the window of apartment and car accidents, firearm, and intentional human assault. The location of trauma were: T7 to T11 in three cats, T12 to L2 in 17 cats; L3 to L7 in two cats. By CT we observed the presence of hypoattenuation area surrounding the spinal cord with atrophy in six cats. Compressive lesion was absent in one animal, one was mild, and severe in four others. Fractures in the dorsal and ventral compartments were observed in 50% and 33.34% of cases, respectively. In three animals the lesion was multiple and involved the pedicles and intervertebral discs. Although it was possible to locate and describe the lesions in the bone tissue, the observation and classification of lesions in adjacent soft tissues were unsatisfactory. Few animals survived after trauma to the spinal cord over the three years of observations, thus we indicate the use of other diagnostic tools like magnetic resonance imaging and electroneuromyography to develop more effective therapeutic approaches aiming the increasing of life expectancy with quality of animals with spinal cord injury.
