Background: Headache is the most frequent neurological complaint in the population and the group of tension-type headaches (TTH) is the most prevalent subtype. Nevertheless, more information about the clinical features of headaches in patients attended at specialized centers are demanded. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive study. Data from patients referred to an outpatient specialized headache center from 2018 to 2019 were analyzed and clinical and epidemiological information was collected. This study was authorized by the research ethics committee of the HUUFJF (CAAE 03530818.9.0000.5133). Results: Data from 153 patients were assessed. The mean age of patients was 45,6 years and most cases were women (80,4%). The most frequent diagnosis were migraine (49,7%), TTH (22,8%) and temporomandibular disorders (8,5%). The prevalence of chronic headaches was 46,6%. Analgesic abuse was identified in 32% of participants, with a higher prevalence in women (Fischer’s exact test, P=0,05). Prophylactic treatment was used by 84,3% of the subjects. Pain was self-reported mild in 21,6% of cases, moderate in 30,1% and severe in 47,1%. The pain severity was inversely proportional to age (P=0,012). The most frequent associated symptoms were photophobia (57,5%), phonophobia (56,9%), nausea/ vomiting (47,1%). Conclusions: The findings show important differences in the prevalence of headache cases in specialized centers compared to the general population. Given the high prevalence of analgesic abuse reported, the development of effective educational programs for patients and healthcare providers at primary and secondary health services, might reduce the social burden of chronic headaches and decrease the demand for consultations on specialized headache clinics.

Authors: Oshiro Carlos André , Silva Guilherme Diogo , Lopes Cesar Castello Branco , Gonçalves Marcia Rubia Rodrigues
Published: December 2021

Context: The Man-in-the-barrel syndrome is characterized by brachial diparesis with preserved lower limb strength. This syndrome is an uncommon presentation of ischemic stroke. Cardiac surgery with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) favors hemodynamic and embolic mechanisms of stroke. Case reports: Case 1 - A 51-year-old hypertensive male presented acute bilateral upper limb weakness in the immediate postoperative period of surgical correction of atrial septal defect. CPB was not performed. Neurological examination showed grade III brachial diparesis with right-sided central facial palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffusion restriction in the right pre-central gyrus, right occipitotemporal junction, and in the left perirolandic area. Case 2 – A previously healthy 53-year-old man presented grade III brachial diparesis with left-side central facial palsy in the immediate postoperative period for correction of Stanford type A aortic dissection. Surgical procedure included a synthetic tube, aortic valve repair, and 116 minutes of CPB. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed diffusion restriction in the centrum semiovale bilaterally. None of the patients had significant stenosis of intracranial or extracranial vessels in the angiographic studies. Both patients had good recovery of upper limb function with rehabilitation. We believe that hypoperfusion associated with cardiac surgery led to watershed cerebral infarction. Conclusions: The Man-in-the-barrel syndrome is a rare complication of cardiac surgery. This clinical presentation is associated with watershed stroke.

Authors: Mattos Letícia Luísa , Vilella Amanda Mendes Clemente
Published: December 2021

Background: In 2020, SARS-Cov-2 was identified as responsible for pneumonia in Wuhan and declared by WHO to be a pandemic. The action of SARSCoV-2 with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and the cytokine storm, can trigger acute cerebrovascular diseases, meningoencephalitis, arterial dysregulation and possible neurological consequences. With the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS), it is necessary to alert professionals to a possible increase in acute neurological cases and long-term follow-up. Objectives and methodology: To analyze the occurrence of signs and symptoms related to the COVID-19 infection, seeking to establish the most common and the most serious ones, through narrative review. Results: The symptoms related to the CNS were described in all the studies analyzed, with a higher occurrence of headache, altered level of consciousness, dizziness, myalgia, hypogeusia and hyposmia. Other quotes, to a lesser extent, were neuralgia and seizure episodes. Among the most worrying findings are cerebrovascular events, acute hemorrhagic necrotizing encephalopathy and GuillainBarré syndrome. As for cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic injuries and venous thrombosis can occur, from asymptomatic cases to severe cases. The importance of pre-existing risk factors in the cerebrovascular outcome is highlighted. Conclusions: Although the symptoms of primary infection are nonspecific and easily confused, CNS involvement can be fatal, citing cerebrovascular involvement as the most worrying finding. The occurrence of pre-existing risk factors should take the attention of the health professional, however, those who do not have them must also be carefully investigated from the signs and symptoms presented.

Published: December 2021

Context Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is characterized by the inflammation of small and medium CNS arteries; the clinical manifestations include headache, cognitive impairment and focal neurological deficits. The gold standard test for diagnosis is brain biopsy. Neurobrucellosis is an infection associated with cattle farming, which leads to neurological and psychiatric symptoms. We report a case of neurobrucellosis mimicking PACNS. Case report Male, 32 years old, with fever, headache, dizziness and cognitive impairments for 30 days. History of stroke 2 years before, with mild sequelae right hemiparesis; investigation showed suspected intracranial dissection. On physical examination, he had apathy, preserved strength, reduced reflexes with plantar flexor responses. General laboratory tests, autoantibodies and serology were normal. Brain MRI showed deep left nucleocapsular gliosis and cerebral angiography revealed stenosis of the ICA and MCA. CSF showed 42 cells/ mm³, glucose 46 mg/dL, protein 82 mg/dL. Blood PCR was negative for Brucella. Immunophenotyping of the CSF and PET-CT excluded neoplasia. Brain biopsy was inconclusive for vasculitis. Metagenomic analysis of the CSF detected 78% of Brucella genetic material. Serum agglutination test was 1:40 for brucella. Conclusions PACNS is diagnosed by exclusion. The patient filled criteria for possible PACNS, image compatible with vascular stenosis, but inconclusive brain biopsy. Brucellosis is an endemic disease in underdeveloped countries that can present as CNS vasculitis. Metagenomic analysis allows the detection of different pathogens using a single method. The case illustrates the use of metagenomics in rare diseases characterized by vasculitis, with change in clinical outcomes and conduct.

Authors: Almeida Ana Carolina Souza de , Palmeira Erick Lean Rodrigues Lucas , Costa Rangel Lima
Published: December 2021

Background: Intracranial trauma (IT) is an injury inside of the cranial box resulting from external forces, usually caused by automotive accidents, falls and violence, sometimes leading to permanent damage or death. Objectives: Describe hospital admissions for IT in the metropolitan region of São Paulo (SP), based on ICD-10 morbidity list. Design and settings: Epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study. Methods: Data provided from the Hospital Morbidity System (SIH-SUS) of the Ministry of Health, from January 2015 to December 2020. Results: There were 65.455 cases of hospitalizations by IT registered in the metropolitan region of SP, which surpassed the cases of the North and Midwest regions. In 2020, there was a 5% reduction in cases compared to 2019. The amount spent represented 10.5% of the total spent in Brazil. Most of the hospitalization patients were male, and the most affected age group was 40- 49 years. The lethality was 11.05% and higher in patients over 80 years-old. Conclusions: It is essential to control IT’s causing factors, since it engenders high costs, and it is a serious problem for the public health and economy, and for the victim’s psychosocial context. The metropolitan region of SP requires special attention, once it shows higher rates of hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality than any other brazilian state. Despite the social isolation in 2020, there were no significant differences between this year’s records comparing to the other ones.

Rigid pavements slab thicknesses are determined using readings from design curves where human, reading, and curve mistakes could commonly occur. In addition, readings from these design curves take precious time and need high attention and diligence. In this study, the ANFIS model is developed instead of the traditional curve reading method, which is more practical and timesaving. So, it could decrease the mistakes which are occurring from curve readings. For this purpose, it has produced a random data set. A slab thickness for each data in the set has been determined using design curve readings. Obtained slab thicknesses are used for training the ANFIS model and an alternative method has been obtained. The created model has predicted the slab thicknesses with a regression of 97.05% compared to the slab thicknesses obtained from curve readings.
Neurological Severity Classification System (CSN-System) in adults with BTI, Hospital Cayetano Heredia, Lima - Peru, 2020. Preliminary study.
Authors:   Cayetano Heredia Hospital, Peru, Castro Elder , Rodriguez Rómulo
Published: December 2021

Objectives: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the disruption of brain function and architecture. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is the most widely used TBI severity classification; however, it assesses the functional status of the brain resulting from highly heterogeneous lesions and has little accuracy. The Neurological Severity Classification System (NSC System), a clinical-tomographic instrument designed to overcome lesion heterogeneity, assesses brain function and structure in determining the severity of BTI. Methods: Observational, prospective, and cross-sectional study in adults with BTI from the emergency service of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital, April - August 2020. It included patients aged 18 years or older with acute BTI. The NSC system was compared with the GCS in the BTI classification. Results: Of 29 patients, 82.76% were male and 82.76% were between 18 and 64 years old. The severity of the TBI through the NSC System was very mild 6.70%, mild 17.24%, moderate 51.72%, severe 17.24%, and critical 6.70%. There was an association between the NSC System and the Rotterdam Computed Tomographic Score (RCTS) (p = 0.005), a moderate positive correlation of the NSC System with the RCTS (Rho 0.6773, p = 0.0001), an association between the NSC System and the indication for neurosurgical intervention (p = 0.002), as well as high sensitivity-specificity in the distinction of severity categories with the NSC System, and lower GCS performance. Conclusions: The NSC clinical-tomographic system improves the determination of the severity of BTI in comparison with GCS and provides an excellent relationship with the indication for neurosurgical intervention.

Biopesticides are mass-produced, biologically based agents used for the control of plant pests. They are an important part of integrated pest management (IPM), which aims to use complementary methods to manage pest populations at low levels, rather than eliminate them entirely. Biopesticides are being used on increasing scales and there is considerable interest in their potential as alternatives to conventional pesticides. Biopesticides have also attracted great interest in the international research community, with a significant increase in the number of publications devoted to the subject. At Institute of Genetics, Physiology and Plant Protection are prepared the bioinsecticides for use in Republic Moldova, mostly for the control. In order to reduce the population of insect it is recommended utilization of inoffensive preparations baculoviruses highlypathogenic for the leaf-champing vermis of the Hyphantria cunea, were selected from the insect natural populations which is an efficient preparation for combating this pest in agricultural, onamental and forest biocenosis.

In the Kuchurgan reservoir there are 40 species of fish, of which in the control fish catches of 2007-2017 were recorded 13 commercial species. The most numerous species is the silver crucian - 22% of all fish in the catches, the remaining species occupy from 4.3 to 0.02%, which indicates the imbalance of the commercial herd of fish and the need for measures to improve the ichthyological situation in the reservoir. The accumulation of metals (V, Mo, Pb, Ni, Cd, Zn, Cu) in the organs and tissues of 3 species of fish of the Kuchurgan reservoir (Carassius auratus gibelio, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis Perca fluviatilis) was studied. In the species of fish studied, metals are the least concentrated in the gonads and muscles of the trunk, while their maximum concentrations are mostly noted in the gills and skin, with the exception of copper, which accumulates more in the liver of fish.

La configuración de las ciencias y el imperativo de trascender las formas de conocer en lo social
Authors: Cardona Hernández Juan David
Published: December 2021

Este artículo de reflexión parte de reconocer que el abordaje de la realidad social implica una postura particular ante las formas de conocer, igualmente plantea que las ciencias sociales se han desarrollado a partir de saberes posicionados de manera autosuficiente, que parcelan la realidad y que por su configuración (conceptos, formas de entender la realidad, clasificaciones, relaciones, teorías) no permiten el diálogo entre las diversas ciencias. Se pone en cuestión la división tajante que hacen las ciencias de la realidad y la forma como se han construido, haciendo énfasis en la necesidad de construir formas de entendimiento de la realidad que en vez de cerrar las posibilidades de construcción e integración, permitan erigir puentes que admitan vislumbrar la realidad en su complejidad, dinámica, transformación y desarrollo.Palabras clave: totalidad social, parcelación de la realidad, ciencias sociales,epistemología.

Authors: Vergara Velez John Fredy , Correa Cortés José Santiago
Published: December 2021

En el contexto Colombiano, los estudiantes universitarios como usuarios de redes sociales virtuales, consolidan un campo de construcción de procesos comunicativos multidireccionales, situándolos como interlocutores activos e individuos empoderados de sus propias construcciones comunicativas. El proyecto se orientó a la comprensión de las prácticas comunicacionales de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Comunicación Audiovisual frente a los usos, consumos y producción de memes de internet. El proyecto contempló la necesidad de comprender las prácticas comunicacionales de los jóvenes, desde las formas discursivas del Meme como unidad de significado sociocultural, apropiados y difundidos por ellos, desde el uso de las redes sociales virtuales y asi mismo indagar en las formas figurativas y alcances de estas unidades de sentido en diferentes ámbitos. Utilizando técnicas interactivas como el grupo focal, talleres de cartografía y entrevistas, los estudiantes realizan aproximanciones a la construcción de significaciones socioculturales mediante el meme y las estrategias de viralización de contenidos digitales. Como resultado parcial de esta indagación, se reconocen cómo los sujetos/objetos de investigación encuentran en el meme una herramienta para construir relaciones sociales, como método para comunicarse con el otro, informarse y divertirse. Aunque poco conocen su historia y de su estructura, apenas se hacen una idea.

Contabilidad e (in)sostenibilidad: ¿De qué estamos hablando? Una reflexión en escenarios (post)covid-19
Authors: Quijano Valencia Olver
Published: December 2021

Sin lugar a duda, el tema ambiental y de la sostenibilidad hacen presencia en escenarios de distinta naturaleza, de una parte, con el ánimo de ampliar la frontera del capitalismo natural y legitimar acciones depredadoras del empresariado y otras veces desde la perspectiva de defensa territorial y de la (re)producción de la vida. El tema/problema ha sido asumido de alguna manera en el ámbito contable a través de debates, estudios discursos, premisas y categorías que involucran la gestión, las finanzas y la contabilidad, mayoritariamente en términos funcionales y proclives a la dinámica empresarial y sus prácticas de insostenibilidad y desfuturización. Empero, habrá que recordar también, que la sostenibilidad es ante todo una batalla por la vida y no por la estabilidad del capital y del mundo corporativo empresarial. De ahí que, aunque son importantes todos los esfuerzos analíticos, también es claro que, no se trata de disfrazar el desconocimiento y la complejidad del fenómeno con gráficos, porcentajes y estadísticas, sino de recordar que la sostenibilidad, es decir, la posibilidad de continuar viviendo en condiciones de dignidad, también tiene que ver con recuperar la alegría de volver a vivir en lo básico. En esta premisa se inscribe la presente reflexión, siempre con el propósito de contribuir a ampliar la inteligibilidad del fenómeno en la comunidad contable-financiera en escenarios (post)covid-19.

Objectives: Oral ulceration forms a major category of oral lesions. Due to its effect on the quality of life, the patients seek treatment using various substances. This study investigated the types of treatments used by a sample of patients having all types of oral ulcers and its positive and negative effects on the patients' lives. Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients having different types of oral ulcers. Participants provided information about their previous treatments, the source of recommendation of its use and side effects linked to them. They filled the oral health impact profile-14 questionnaire to report the change in their quality of life after treatment. The patients' educational and social levels were tested as predictors for the use of non-conventional treatments. Results: Correct pharmaceutical treatments were administered y 34% of the participants; the most effective of which were systemic and topical steroids by ulcerative oral lichen planus patients; and vitamin supplements in recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients. The majority (64.2%) of the previously treated patients used non-conventional treatments, the most widely used of which was Tahini. Half of the patients using non-conventional treatments suffered side effects. The source of information of the self-medication was attributed mainly to the patients themselves, followed by friends and family members. Conclusion: This study reflects the widely spread habit of self-medication in our sample of patients having oral ulcers. It highlights the negative influence of these remedies.
Hamlet as an Arab Intellectual: A Marxist Reading of Mamduh Adwan’s Play Hamlet Wakes Up Late
Authors: Bedjaoui Kheira , Amrieh Yousef Abu
Published: December 2021

The paper aims at reading Mamduh Adwan’s play Hamlet Wakes up Late (1978) from a Marxist perspective to broadly examine how life under a Capitalist system along with its foreign investments and trading services can easily destroy the political, social as well as the cultural surroundings of a certain nation. Throughout his play, Adwan brilliantly adapts Shakespeare and offers a Marxist point of view to comment on how the West continues to dominate the East with its economic power. Importantly, in employing Shakespeare’s portrayal of Hamlet as a tragic hero, Adwan uses him as a dramatic archetype to comment on one of the Shakespearean’s famous political quotes “something is rotten in the state of Denmark”. Seen from this perspective, the paper will read Adwan’s play from a Marxist viewpoint to demonstrate how he has in fact used Hamlet’s lack of intellectualism to criticize the Syrian policy of “The Six Day War” defeat to Israel.

The complex and multi-dimensional nature of droughts in Tamil Nadu state and its impact on agricultural sector and farming community requires a thorough analysis for developing short and long– term adaptation and mitigation measures with institutional arrangement and policy support. In the present investigation, drought analysis was made for Tamil Nadu state using 148 years (1871 – 2018) monthly rainfall data obtained at district scale from India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Tamil Nadu Agricultural University by employing various drought indices. Larger co-efficient of variation (139 and 149 %) during the major growing seasons (Southwest and Northeast monsoon)evidenced high undependability of rainfall over Tamil Nadu. Drought Index (DI) analysis indicated a 51 per cent drought years in SWM and 48 per cent in NEM season, while Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) exhibited 43 and 48 per cent of drought years in SWM and NEM respectively, indicating occurrence of drought once in every four years. More number of Consecutive Drought years (CDY) posed serious impacts on food production and livelihoods. Drought management framework as well as input for designing drought policy for Tamil Nadu.
