Authors: Marinho Jonatércio Florêncio de Vasconcelos , Lima Rodrigo Araújo Pereira , Marinho Erika Pinto , Nóbrega Ana Cecilia Vieira da
Published: May 2024

Abstract Algaroba wood (Prosopis juliflora) is commonly used as energy source in the northeast region of Brazil and India, generating rich-calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ashes as a promising alternative limestone filler. Moreover, concreting in hot climates (for example, in tropical regions) can affect its fresh state conditions owing to the evaporation of the mixing water. Thus, Self-Compacting Concretes (SCCs) incorporating Algaroba ashes were produced using heated dry materials (80 ± 2oC) to simulate hot weather mixing (on site, 50 ± 2oC). In order to simulate the hot weather conditions on site for subsequent control tests over time (in the laboratory), the specimens were cured in water at 20 ± 2oC. The self-compacting ability at the end of mixing was kept constant by extra water addition or superplasticizer overdosing. The partial replacement of 50% of natural lime filler by calcium-rich ash preserved the compressive strength and permeability of mixtures with 100% of limestone filler. Using 50% ash also demanded less water and superplasticizer when submitted to the simulated hot weather mixing.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: Spinal traction by a cranial halo is a method with more than half a century of application, presenting the possibility of gradual correction of deformities while the patient is awake, also improving respiratory and nutritional patterns. This study aimed to evaluate the complications of pins and traction during their use in treating severe spinal deformities. Methods: We evaluated 27 patients undergoing surgical treatment using halo-gravitational traction pre or interoperatively between 2014 and 2020. Inclusion criteria were the presence of severe deformity (>100º) in the coronal and/or sagittal plane and traction for at least seven days. Two subgroups were identified: patients presenting only severe coronal deformity (Group 1) and patients with severe deformity in the sagittal plane accompanied by coronal deformity (Group 2). Clinical and radiological data were analyzed retrospectively, evaluating the variables: age, sex, weight, height, etiological diagnosis, number of pins, traction time, sagittal and coronal Cobb angle before and after traction, and complications related to pins and traction. Results: Age and weight showed a significant correlation with the occurrence of complications related to the pins (p=0.007; p<0.001), as well as the congenital etiology of deformity (p=0.001), and those patients in group 2 (p=0.006). There was no significant correlation between the variables studied and the occurrence of neurological complications. Conclusion: Halo-gravitational traction is an important adjunctive method in treating severe spinal deformities. Despite having a considerable complication rate, there were no serious events. Level of evidence IV; Case series.

Published: May 2024

RESUMO O texto produz uma arqueologia do fenômeno das cirurgias plásticas a partir das recomendações de beleza na coluna Elegância e Beleza, da revista O Cruzeiro, na década de 1940. Levando em consideração os vestígios deixados no periódico, identificamos a existência do discurso de aprimoramento racial defendido pelo movimento eugenista brasileiro. Apontamos as formas de propagação da ideologia de dominação racial branca nos enunciados de beleza, destacando o caráter sutil das propostas de ocultamento das fisionomias negras e indígenas no início do século XX. Acreditamos que Elegância e Beleza incentivou a adoção de ideais estéticos compatíveis com a biopolítica do racismo.

TURBULENT NATURAL CONVECTION AND SURFACE RADIATION IN TALL CAVITIES WITH LINEAR HEAT FLUX AND COLD ISOTHERMAL BOUNDARIES
Authors: El Moutaouakil Lahcen
Published: May 2024

This article explores the coupling between natural convection and surface radiation in a turbulent regime within a tall vertical enclosure. To emphasize this coupling, the q(y)-Tc configuration, previously studied in laminar flow, is reexamined with average Rayleigh numbers up to 108. One vertical wall of the cavity is subjected to a linear heat flux, while the opposite wall is maintained isothermal at a uniform cold temperature. Using an efficient Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model implemented in a finite volume-based computational code, the results reveal a significant increase in convective heat transfers at the expense of radiative heat transfers during the transition to the turbulent regime. In the fully turbulent state, the average dynamic field is straightforward, thermal stratification is highly pronounced, especially for positive slopes of the imposed heat flux, and local temperature profiles on the hot wall are roughly similar to those found in laminar flow.
Recycling of incinerated sewage sludge ash and waste glass powder in alkali-activated slag for sewer rehabilitation

Published: May 2024

A new era has dawned in the manufacturing of cement-free binders with appropriate mechanical strengths and durability to combat CO2 emissions. However, the assessment of their performance in extreme conditions is ongoing. Here, we attempted to use incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA), a waste product of sewage sludge incineration that contains limited amounts of heavy metals, along with waste glass powder (GP) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), as precursors to produce cement-free binders through alkali-activation. The alkali-activated materials (AAMs) were then subjected to an intensified sewage corrosion test for 6 months. The aim was to utilize the heavy metals in the ISSA as biocides to resist the biogenic acid attack on the AAMs. The experimental results indicated that superior performance was achieved by using a ternary binder prepared with ISSA, GP, and GGBS under biogenic acid simulation. Such enhanced durability can be attributed to the low Ca content in the resulting alkali-activated gels, which also reduced the grain size of gypsum formed and prevented expansion deterioration. Furthermore, the slow release of heavy metals from the AAMs prepared with the ISSA, evidenced by the leaching test results, was able to inhibit microbial growth.

Published: May 2024

Objectives

We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on social determinants of health, mental health, substance use, and access to mental health and harm reduction services among key populations disproportionately impacted by sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI).

Methods

Online surveys (2021‒2022) were conducted in Canada among people who use drugs or alcohol (PWUD); African, Caribbean, and Black people (ACB); and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples (FNIM). Descriptive analyses were conducted on social determinants of health, substance use, and access to services, stratified by changes in mental health status since the start of the pandemic.

Results

A total of 3773 participants (1034 PWUD, 1556 ACB, and 1183 FNIM) completed the surveys, with 45.6% reporting a major/moderate impact of the pandemic on their ability to pay bills and 53% experiencing food insecurity since the start of the pandemic. Half (49.4%) of participants reported deteriorating mental health. A higher increase in substance use and related behaviours was seen in those with worsening mental health. Among those using substances, two thirds (69.4%) of those with worsening mental health reported increasing their use of substances alone, compared to 46.9% of those with better/similar mental health. Access to mental health and harm reduction services was low.

Conclusion

These intersecting health issues are among the risk factors for STBBI acquisition and act as barriers to care. Equitable interventions and policies addressing downstream and upstream determinants of health, with meaningful and sustainable leadership from key populations, may improve their health and well-being, to lower STBBI impact and improve future pandemic responses.
Reversible Cytotoxic Edema in Patients with COVID-19 Associated Encephalitis Presenting Status Epilepticus
Authors: Kim Hong Jun , Seo Surim , Kim Joong-Goo
Published: May 2024

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a serious infectious disease with multisystem alteration including neurological complications. COVID-19 associated encephalitis is a potentially fatal viral infection of the brain. Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) are a useful evaluation modality of cytotoxic edema in patients with encephalitis. We report on the reversible DWI change in a patient with COVID-19 associated encephalitis, who had diffused cytotoxic edema in the affected temporal lobe and accompanied status epilepticus. Sequential imaging showed that the cytotoxic edema in DWI confirmed recovery to normal after 12 days in the presence of cortical edema in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image after aggressive neurocritical management. Thus, prompt, proper management is indispensable during the acute period and DWI may be a valuable tool for reflecting the clinical course of COVID-19 associated encephalitis.

Published: May 2024

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is caused by duplication of the 17p12 region including PMP22 gene. In CMT1A patients, anticipation showing increased severity by generations has been reported in the CMT1A patients. It has also been reported that severity increases in the non-de novo cases than in the de novo cases. This study was performed to examine epigenetic differences between CMT1A cases and controls as well as between de novo cases and non-de novo cases.Methods: This study examined 40 Korean CMT1A patients and 11 controls. Methylation level was determined using the SureSelect XT Methyl-Seq reagent kit and bisulfite sequence mapping program.Results: Many differentially methylated CpG sites (DMCs) were identified in the comparisonbetween cases and controls and between de novo cases and non-de novo cases. Most DMCs were located within or nearby genes related to the nervous system, mental stress, and motor ability.Conclusions: This study is the first epigenetic study to uncover the mechanism of clinical heterogeneity among CMT1A patients. We suggest that weak severity in the de novo cases than the non-de novo cases may be related to the epigenomic differences in the nerve and stress-related genes.

Published: May 2024

Ischemic stroke associated with pituitary apoplexy is an extremely rare but devastating complication. Arterial stenosis or occlusion due to direct compression secondary to acute expansion of the hemorrhagic pituitary adenoma may induce ischemic stroke. In case of presentation of diffusion-perfusion or diffusion-clinical mismatch, urgent tumor resection to decompress the involved arteries should be performed to salvage ischemic penumbra. If emergent surgery is not possible, other therapeutic options are needed to prevent the progression of cerebral ischemia. Herein, we report the case of successful revascularization achieved in a patient with ischemic stroke who underwent balloon angioplasty and stent placement for the non-atherosclerotic steno-occlusion of intracranial internal carotid artery due to pituitary apoplexy.
kpoint Inhibitors Combined with Radiotherapy or Chemoradiotherapy for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Single-Arm Meta-Analysis v2
Authors: cui ran
Published: May 2024

Background: The recent usage of immunotherapy combined with chemoradiotherapy has improved survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, determining the most effective therapy combination remains a topic of debate. Research suggests immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) post-chemoradiotherapy enhance survival, but the impact of concurrent ICIs during chemoradiotherapy on rapid disease progression is unclear. This meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of concurrent ICIs with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for relevant studies, extracting data on overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs). Results: The analysis included ten studies with 490 participants. Stage III NSCLC ORR was 81.8%, while Stage IV ORR was 39.9%. One-year PFS and OS for Stage III were 68.2% and 82.6%, compared to 27.9% and 72.2% for Stage IV. Common adverse events included anemia (46.6%), nausea (47.6%), rash (36.4%), and radiation pneumonitis (36.3%). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis shows concurrent ICIs with chemoradiotherapy are effective and safe in advanced NSCLC, particularly in stage III patients at risk of progression before starting ICIs after chemoradiotherapy. The findings support further phase III trials. The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023493685) and is detailed on the NIHR HTA programme website.

Gastroduodenal and ileal cannulas in pigs are commonly used to evaluate food digestibility and nutrition research. However accessing the motility of the proximal colon for long term in conscious pigs remains achallenge. In this protocol, we describe the surgical implantation of a cecal cannula in Yucatan minipigs,together with details to design/3D-print a biocompatible cecal cannula that allows direct access to the cecum/proximal colon of pigs and the maintenance procedure. The cannula is very well tolerated by the animals for long-term use. The model enables not only a reliable longitudinal chronic colon function measurements (probes inserted through the cannula) to study gut motility in health and diseases but also for luminal sensing and stimulation using stationary or non-stationary wireless smart pills.

Authors: leduque basile.leduque , Quadrana Leandro s
Published: May 2024

Background: Epigenetic modifications, including chromatin accessibility, nucleosome positioning, and DNA methylation (5mC), are pivotal in shaping genome function. However, current short read sequencing approaches present challenges in characterising epigenetic patterns along repetitive genomic regions. Results: We developed Simultaneous Accessibility and DNA Methylation Sequencing (SAM-seq), a robust method utilising bacterial adenine methyltransferases (m6A-MTases) to mark accessible regions in purified plant nuclei. Coupled with Oxford Nanopore Technology sequencing, SAM-seq enables high-resolution profiling of cytosine methylation and m6A-tagged chromatin accessibility along individual chromatin fibres in A. thaliana and maize. Importantly, using naked genomic DNA we uncovered significant sequence preferences of m6A-MTases, which we show must be taken into account in order to obtain reliable accessibility profiles, particularly for the analysis of highly repetitive sequences such as centromeric repeats. Using this method we found intriguing antagonism between accessibility and DNA methylation within single molecules, somatic epigenetic variation at bivalent chromatin domains, periodicity of nucleosomal strings over centromeric repeats, and high-resolution methylation profiles over nucleosomes. Conclusions: Our study highlights the importance of considering intrinsic substrate preferences of DNA modifying enzymes for their use in chromatin profiling. Hence, SAM-seq is a robust and cross-species method to chart high-resolution accessibility and DNA methylation genome-wide. This method and findings will enable the investigation of chromatin-based regulation across plant species, with implications for the study of non-model plant species with limited genomic and epigenomic information.

Published: May 2024

This protocol describes a process for the measurement of acute electrical stimulation-induced effects on colonic motility in anesthetized young adult Yucatan minipigs. Signals recorded from manometry probes inserted into the proximal, transverse and distal colonic regions were used to measure the effect of stimulation on the sacral or thoracolumbar nerve roots in an acute anesthetized preparation. The effect of stimulation was quantified as motility index/area under the curve (AUC) assessments before, during and after stimulation, and the data was used to create a functional map of colonic motor response to spinal nerve roots stimulation.

Introducción: uno de los accidentes más frecuentes durante el acceso cameral en un tratamiento de endodoncia es la perforación a nivel del piso pulpar, siendo los biocerámicos los materiales sugeridos en la actualidad para reparar este tipo de perforaciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la resistencia compresiva del Agregado Trióxido Mineral (MTA) y BiodentineTM en perforaciones de furca de molares inferiores permanentes. Métodos: se seleccionaron 30 molares inferiores humanas, a los que se les realizó un acceso cavitario endodóntico; fueron debidamente preparados para luego ser divididos aleatoriamente en 3 grupos (n=10). Grupo 1: especímenes en los que se creó una perforación de furca, sellada con MTA. Grupo 2: especímenes en los que se creó una perforación de furca, sellada con BiodentineTM. Grupo 3: especímenes sin perforación. Después de 30 días fueron sometidos a fuerzas compresivas mediante una máquina de ensayos universales registrando la fuerza necesaria para producir la fractura. Los datos fueron procesados usando pruebas estadísticas ANOVA y Tukey, con un nivel de significancia p<0,05. Resultados: la resistencia compresiva del BiodentineTM (190,84 MPa) no presentó diferencias estadísticamente significativas respecto a MTA (165,29 MPa) a los 30 días de evaluación. Sin embargo, MTA sí mostró diferencia al ser comparada con el grupo control (213,46 Mpa). Conclusión: al evaluar la resistencia comprensiva en MPa, el BiodentineTM presentó valores similares en el sellado de perforaciones de furca de molares inferiores al ser comparado con el grupo control y MTA; mientras que, MTA presentó resultados significativamente más bajos que el control; asimismo, la diferencia relativa de este último grupo fue mayor respecto a los demás.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a criminalização da homofobia pela Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade por Omissão (ADO) n.º 26 e a postura supremocrática (Vieira, 2018). A referida decisão busca enfrentar a necessidade de mitigar a condição de vulnerabilidade das pessoas LGBTQIAP+ (lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, transgêneros, queer, intersexuais, assexuais, pansexuais e outros), que convivem com a violência e a discriminação cotidianas no Brasil, país que lidera há anos o ranking dos mais violentos para as pessoas do coletivo LGBTQIAP+. Tendo em vista tratar-se de uma decisão que atua em cima de um vácuo legislativo, o presente artigo propõe expor as discussões perante o papel ocupado pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal nesse caso. Assim, o trabalho usa uma metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa, de método dedutivo, com base em procedimentos de revisão bibliográfica e documental, incluindo o estudo de caso da ADO n.º 26. O itinerário apresenta, primeiramente, questões pertinentes ao sistema de freios e contrapesos, dentro da democracia contemporânea, a fim de identificar a posição de proeminência que a jurisdição constitucional tem ocupado. Como resultado, esta pesquisa, identifica que o ativismo judicial na ADO n. ° 26 proporciona um avanço na proteção dos direitos fundamentais voltados à comunidade LGBTQIAPN+. Mostra ainda que é necessário, em virtude de maior segurança jurídica, que o Poder Legislativo discuta e proponha uma legislação específica acerca do tema para mudanças de paradigmas e na efetividade dos Direitos Humanos no país.

Objective: To evaluate whether the attributes of Primary Healthcare are present in leprosy control actions in Londrina from Community Health Workers (CHW) perspectives. Methods: Observational and evaluative study. Data collection took place between January and March 2020 in Londrina, Paraná, using the questionnaire "Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCATool) - Hansen's disease - CHW version" and a population-based census of 246 CHWs from 52 Primary Healthcare Units. The analyses used a cutoff point (≥ 6.6), central tendency, and dispersion measures. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests were used to analyze differences. Results: The general performance towards the primary healthcare attributes were evaluated as strong (mean = 6.95 / SD = 1.08) and the essential score (mean = 7.39 / SD = 1.0). On the other hand, the derived score was evaluated as poor (mean = 6.07 / sd = 1.06). Concerning the Access attribute, the rural zone had a lower score than the urban (mean = 4.47 / SD = 1.63). As for the Comprehensiveness attribute of services provided to leprosy patients, the central region had a lower mean (mean = 4.87 / SD = 3.44) than the south region (mean = 6.76 / SD = 2, 24). Concerning the Integrality, the rural region presented a higher score (mean = 8.15 / SD = 1.22) than the western (mean = 6.16 / SD = 2.91) and central regions (mean = 6.13 / SD = 3.27). As for Community Orientation, the western region had a lower mean than the others (mean = 5.04 / SD = 2.44). The vocational guidance attribute had a higher average in the rural region (mean = 4.14 / SD = 2.62). Final Considerations: The study highlights issues that can be improved, such as first contact access, catalog of services offered to leprosy patients, information provided to the community, professional training, and differences in PHC performance between urban and rural regions.
The Concept and Content of the Principle of Immediacy and Guarantees of its Implementation in Administrative Proceedings
Authors: Nobel A. R.
Published: May 2024

The author elucidates the concept and content of the principle of immediacy and guarantees of its implementation in administrative proceedings. The analysis of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, the Arbitrazh Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, the standings of higher courts and law enforcement practice allows us to determine the elements of the principle of immediacy in administrative proceedings. Their systematic consideration indicates the need to consolidate this principle in the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation and eliminate the shortcomings contained in the current legislation. The principle of immediacy in administrative proceedings is defined as procedural requirements, expressed in the fact that the circumstances included in the standard of proof and relevant to the case can be established by evidence, the content of which was investigated during the case consideration according to personal perception of the participants (subjects) of administrative jurisdiction with the provision of equal rights to participants in the proceedings in their study, discussion and analysis by means of mandatory verbalization.
Problems of Systematization of Contracts for Intellectual Products Creation
Authors: Kopylov A. Yu.
Published: May 2024

Systematization of contracts makes it possible to solve the problems of contractual regulation at the legislative level. The problem of contract systematization in civil law in general and in intellectual property law is that in science there is no unified approach regarding the choice of classification criterion that can be used as its basis. Systematization of contracts aimed at creating intellectual products is a «hot button» of the current legislation, the practice of its application and legal science. The paper reasonably points out that the legislative decisions presented in section VII of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, are ill-conceived and ignore the principle of systematic construction of legislation on contractual obligations aimed at creating intellectual products. An analysis of the rules on contracts aimed at creating works as objects of copyright, and research and development agreements was carried out. The paper proposes amendments to the legislation as to transfer of the rules on the creation of intellectual products to Section IV of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and changes in the structure and content of Chapter 38 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Criminal Liability for Assisting in the Execution of Decisions of International Organizations in which the Russian Federation does not Participate
Authors: Skoblikov P. A.
Published: May 2024

In May 2023, Article 284.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation came into force that declared criminal offense for «assistance in the execution of decisions of international organizations in which the Russian Federation does not participate, or foreign government bodies.” The syntactic construction chosen by the legislator does not make it possible, using a literal interpretation, to unambiguously determine the range of actions the commission of which entails criminal punishment. The history of the emergence and approval of the initiative to include Art. 284.3 demonstrates a serious problem in modern lawmaking: the unexpected appearance and hasty adoption of projects that are not discussed in the legal community and do not receive proper expert assessment.

Goals and objectives of the study: to substantiate the doctrinal interpretation of the objective side of the act described in Art. 284.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as formulate proposals aimed at limiting the manifestations of so-called hasty lawmaking in the criminal legal sphere. During the research, the author was guided by the principles of the dialectical method of cognition (objectivity and comprehensiveness of consideration of the object of study, historicism, the universal connection of phenomena, systematicity), used general scientific (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, description, generalization, classification, analogy) and special scientific (historical) legal, sociological, legal forecasting) methods, and at the same time historical, functional and systematic ways of interpreting the law.

The assumption is substantiated that the emergence of the official interpretation of Art. 284.3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the near future is unlikely, and a doctrinal interpretation is proposed, which may be in demand in criminal proceedings and investigative activities, as well as in preparing explanations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, relevant acts of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and a bill aimed at clarifying the text of the recently adopted criminal law. A number of proposals have been argued to introduce amendments and additions to the Rules of Procedure of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, aimed at limiting the passage of poorly substantiated bills with significant legal and technical flaws in the criminal legal field.
Outstanding Universal Value of World Natural Heritage Sites: Definition Issues
Authors: Kolobov R. Yu.
Published: May 2024

The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the concept of outstanding universal value of world heritage sites, which is the supporting category of the entire system of protection of unique natural sites. The paper considers the normative basis for the definition of this concept in the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, the Guidelines for its implementation, the practice of the World Heritage Committee and the acts of its advisory bodies. The tripartite division of the composition of outstanding universal value is critically analyzed and the reasons for its appearance are highlighted. Methods of formalizing the analyzed concept are explored, shortcomings in the formulation of wordings of outstanding universal value are highlighted, and various ways to improve this institution are proposed. The comparative legal method of research is widely used: all the problems discussed in the paper are illustrated by the current law enforcement practice of the World Heritage Committee in reviewing the state of conservation of unique natural objects located in foreign countries. The results obtained are compared with the problems of protecting Russian World Natural Heritage sites.

In case of large-scale radiation incidents, timely detection of overexposed persons and determination of the severity of radiation injuries will be of great importance. The main methods of diagnosing acute radiation injuries are the methods of physical and biological dosimetry. In practice, in case of radiation accidents, physical dosimetry may be unavailable due to the lack of individual dosimeters, lack of information about the duration of exposure, dose rate, distance to the source of ionizing radiation, etc. Under such conditions, biological dosimetry becomes a reliable source of data on people’s radiation. Currently, the clinical manifestations of radiation-induced syndromes available for detection are used for the initial diagnosis of acute radiation injury at the advanced stages of medical evacuation in the early period after radiation exposure. However, in the early periods after radiation exposure, the results of an objective study do not always allow us to establish the fact of overexposure. The most informative laboratory and instrumental methods for diagnosing radiation injury. With large radiation, most biological dosimetry methods will not be available for the initial sorting of those affected at the initial stages of medical evacuation. The use of methods of biological dosimetry is to a greater extent justified in the conditions of the hospital stage of providing medical care to those affected during the elimination of the medical and sanitary consequences of radiation accidents and disasters.
