Relação entre Inteligência, Criatividade, Personalidade e Superdotação no Contexto Escolar
Authors: Nogueira Marina , Fleith Denise de Souza
Published: September 2021

Resumo As diferenças entre indivíduos superdotados e não superdotados vêm sendo alvo de muitos estudos e controvérsias. Este estudo teve como objetivo comparar alunos que ingressaram precocemente na universidade (grupo I), alunos que ingressaram na universidade no tempo regular (grupo II) e alunos superdotados do ensino médio (grupo III) a respeito da inteligência, criatividade e personalidade, bem como investigar a relação entre essas variáveis. Participaram do estudo 30 alunos (15 de cada sexo), com média de idade de 17,3 anos. Foram utilizados instrumentos de inteligência (Matrizes Progressivas de Raven), criatividade (Teste Torrance de Pensamento Criativo) e personalidade (Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade e Rorschach), e os dados foram tratados com análises não paramétricas de Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney e correlação de Spearman. Os resultados apontaram diferenças significativas em relação à inteligência (X² [2, N = 30] = 5,975; p = 0,05) e aos fatores de criatividade: fluência (X² [2, N = 30] = 6,302; p = 0,043) e flexibilidade (X² [2, N = 30] = 6,415; p = 0,040). Observou-se correlação positiva entre inteligência e o fator analogia (r s = 0,426; p = 0,019). Os alunos dos grupos I e III demonstraram vantagens nos fatores de inteligência e criatividade em relação aos do grupo II, e os do grupo I demonstraram ainda maior abertura a novas experiências e mudanças do que os alunos dos outros dois grupos. Os resultados apontam que inteligência e criatividade são construtos diferentes, mas relacionados, sugerindo que inteligência seria um subconjunto de criatividade.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to establish a correlation between the stages of tooth calcification of mandibular canines and second molars with the phases of skeletal development. Methods: In a consecutive series of panoramic, cephalometric and hand-wrist radiographs of 113 individuals (60 females and 53 males) with an average age of 12.24 ± 1.81 years, the stages of mandibular canine and second molar calcification, cervical vertebrae maturation indicators (CVMI) and skeletal maturity indicators (SMI) were classified. The variables were correlated by means of the Spearman’s Rank test: chronological age, SMI, CVMI and tooth calcification stages. In order to assess whether the CVMI and tooth calcification stages were significant predictors of the SMI, an ordinal regression analysis was carried out. Results: The stages of CVMI (OR = 16.92; CI 95% = 6.45-44.39; p< 0.001) and calcification of the second molars (OR = 3.22; CI 95% = 1.50-6.92; p= 0.003) were significant predictors of SMI, however similar result was not observed for canines (OR = 0.52, CI 95% = 0.18-1.54; p= 0.239). Calcification stage E for boys, and E and F for girls corresponded to the pre-peak phase of pubertal growth. Stages G and H for boys, and F and G for girls coincided with peak of growth. In the final growth phase, the majority of second molars presented with root apex closure (stage H). Conclusion: The stages of calcification of the second molar may be considered predictors of the stage of skeletal development in the population studied.
An outline of a pragmatist theory on reflexivity: exploring the pathways of the concept through social theory
Authors: Corrêa Diogo Silva , Talone Vittorio da Gamma
Published: September 2021

Abstract In this article, we propose an understanding of reflexivity based on the effects of degrees of indeterminacy in the most diverse situations and contexts. We conducted an analysis based on a pragmatist sensibility to outline a model of reflexivity, examining how the concept has been thought in social theory. We explore the epistemological reflexivity (Pierre Bourdieu); the tradition that associates reflexivity and personal forms of internal deliberation (Margaret Archer); approaches connecting reflexivity with devices allowing an objective apprehension of the world (Bernard Lahire); and perspectives in which reflexive action is linked to indeterminacy (John Dewey; Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot). We combine routine, experiences of destabilization, catastrophe, and different high levels of reflexivity, seeking to open social theory to new research agendas on reflexive action.
(Re)aproximando os pragmatismos da análise das políticas públicas. Experimentação e investigação pública em um cenário de crise democrática
Authors: Andion Carolina , Magalhães Thiago
Published: September 2021

Resumo Este ensaio teórico explora as contribuições da lente pragmatista para a análise da governança das políticas públicas em um cenário de crise das democracias. Para tanto, inicia-se abordando o debate recente no campo da administração pública sobre governança e a análise das políticas públicas, evidenciando que esse remete a uma dupla dicotomia: entre modos de governar e de reformar o Estado e de formas de analisar as políticas públicas e seus efeitos. A partir das lacunas evidenciadas nesse debate, adentramos a discussão sobre as noções de experimentalismo democrático e de investigação pública e aprofundamos como tais noções podem ser inspiradoras para olhar de outra forma o “fazer política” cotidiano, especialmente ao considerar os desafios da ação pública na atualidade, diante dos problemas públicos cada vez mais complexos em uma realidade de crise e retrocesso democrático em vários países e, sobretudo, no Brasil.
Alteridades estranhadas: contradições e potencialidades da forma ser-outra no capitalismo vigente
Authors: Berg Tábata
Published: September 2021

Resumo O objetivo desta proposta é lançar uma perspectiva feminista decolonial à acumulação do capital, deslocando o acento sobre a relação capital/trabalho (assalariado) para as formas de exploração e opressão laborais não assalariadas; nomeadamente àquelas que se desenvolveram inerentes ao patriarcado racista pela imbricação entre colonialismo, patriarcado e escravidão. Para tanto, o artigo percorrerá diferentes modos da ser-outra, categoria que venho articulando e da qual aqui apresento um esboço. O intuito é lançar uma perspectiva feminista, partindo da escuta das vozes periféricas e feministas, para seguir radicalizando a questão que, mesmo marginal, não esteve ausente das preocupações do marxismo em sua diversidade: sobre como as diversas formas laborais não remuneradas são basilares às cadeias radicais do capitalismo.
A efetivação do direito à educação de qualidade como ação do Ministério Público de Pernambuco
Authors: Nascimento José Almir do , Marques Luciana Rosa
Published: September 2021

Resumo A chamada Doutrina da proteção integral é fundamentada no artigo 227 da Constituição Federal de 1988 e regulamentada pelo Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente . Por tal dispositivo, as concepções de educação vão ser influenciadas e reconfiguradas para que sejam asseguradas a proteção pretendida, depositando como responsabilidade solidária o chamado Sistema de Garantia de Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente (SGDCA), que tem como finalidade responder às demandas por direitos infantoadolescentes. Nesta acepção, o Ministério Público desponta como agente corresponsável para a consecução do direito à educação, promovendo a dignidade da pessoa humana. Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar os mecanismos e as contingências implicadas nas práticas laborais do Ministério Público de Pernambuco para assegurar o direito à qualidade da educação básica circunscrita no projeto Ministério Público pela Educação (MPEduc). Trata-se de um recorte de pesquisa de doutoramento que, para este artigo, procedeu uma revisão da legislação nacional, dos documentos produzidos do âmbito do projeto e de uma bibliografia concernente à educação como direito humano. A análise das ações resultantes do projeto constatou que o cumprimento das metas e finalidades do MPEduc fundamenta-se nos princípios da proteção integral infantoadolescente, conforme prescrito no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente e na Constituição do Brasil. Em cumprimento da sua funcionalidade laboral, o Ministério Público de Pernambuco configura-se como importante aliado para a restauração dos direitos educacionais, com vistas à consecução da qualidade almejada. Utiliza-se, para tal fim, de inquéritos civis públicos e posteriores recomendações de ajustes às políticas educacionais.
Experiences of the NKP 2.0 educational portal during COVID-19 pandemic induced online education
Authors: Pap Melinda , Kvaszingerné Prantner Csilla , Vígh Imre
Published: September 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries had to switch to online education from one day to the other. To aid the educators and students, the NKP 2.0 national educational portal was made publicly available by the Hungarian government in March 2020. This sudden emergency situation urged us to renew and reform the current learning methodologies. Thus, it can be viewed as an accelerator of advancements in this field. The requirements stated in the Hungarian Digital Educational Strategy were almost fully met by the NKP 2.0 portal. It also gained high popularity since its announcement, the number of unique visitors per workday was reaching 82 000. This is a considerable amount, knowing that the number of children in Hungary between the age 7-18 is around 1 million. In this paper we briefly introduce the learning methodological background of the NKP 2.0 portal, and we also describe its main components and intelligent solutions. Furthermore, we present statistical foundings of the usage of our portal during the pandemic, i.e. for what tasks, on which devices and how people were using it. At the end of this school year we carried out a survey to assess user satisfaction, the results of these questionnaires are presented in this paper.
A LearningApps használata a digitális oktatás során
Authors: Ládiné Szabó Tünde Julianna
Published: September 2021

2020. március 16-tól új munkarend lépett életbe az iskolákban. Nekünk pedagógusoknak továbbra is folytatnunk kellett az oktatást, de digitális eszközökkel. Hihetetlen, hogy igen rövid idő alatt mekkora erőfeszítéseket tettek a pedagógusok a diákokkal és családokkal együttműködve. A gyerekek hamar megszokták, hogy otthonról követik utasításainkat és még élvezték is az új és szokatlan helyzetet. Nem volt különösen nehéz dolguk, hiszen a mai gyermekeknek már lételemük az okostelefon, a számítógép, az internet. Szívesebben játszanak, mint tanulnak. Különösen azt élvezték, hogy senki nem szól rájuk a „számítógépezés” miatt. A tanulók többsége a virtuális tanteremben mindennap megjelent, ahol természetesen bizonyos időközönként számonkérés is volt. A pedagógusok gyorsan reagáltak a helyzetre. Különböző csatornákon adták át egymásnak saját tapasztalataikat, ötleteiket, elkészített digitális tananyagaikat. Szinte napok alatt történt meg a digitális oktatásra való átállás. A keretrendszer és a videóeszközök mellett a kollégák előnyben részesítették a számonkérésre, illetve gyakorlásra használt platformokat, gyakorlóeszközöket. Az oktatási segédeszközök között előszeretettel használták a Learningapps-et, más néven a Tankockákat. A webkettes alkalmazás nagy előnye, hogy reklámmentes, használata ingyenes. Az online platform segítségével a kollégák interaktív és multimédiás oktatási segédanyagokat, „Tankockákat” állíthattak elő, vagy a már meglévőket változtathatták meg egészen egyszerűen. A Tankockák színesebbé, élvezetesebbé varázsolhatták az online tanórákat, segítségükkel a kollégák figyelemmel kísérhették tanulóik fejlődését. A kollégák visszajelzései alapján az alkalmazás használata megkönnyítette a pedagógus – tanuló – szülő munkáját egyaránt. A Tankockakör tagjaként 2016-tól országos tudásmegosztó tevékenységet végzek. Mindannyiunk fontos célja a pedagógusok módszertani eszköztárának bővítése. Folyamatos törekvésünk, hogy a Learningapps-et minél többen megismerjék és egyre szélesebb körben használják. Sok pedagógus csatlakozott hozzánk az utóbbi években és vált Tankocka, LearningApps felhasználóvá. A digitális oktatás során a LearningApps az egyik legkedveltebb alkalmazás volt, mind a kollégák, mind a gyerekek és szüleik körében. Előadásomban a digitális oktatás során végzett kutatásom (Tankocka használat – LearningApps felületen megjelent kérdőív) eredményeit szeretném bemutatni. A végzett kutatás a Tankocka digitális oktatás során történő használatára összpontosít, célja az alkalmazás hatékonyságának, értékének felmérése.
Az autonóm tanuláshoz szükséges tanári és tanulói kompetenciák digitális tanulási környezetben
Authors: Huszthy Viola
Published: September 2021

Doktori tanulmányaim során az idegennyelv-tudás önálló fejlesztésének lehetőségeit kutatom az aktuális digitális pedagógiai környezetben. Másodéves doktorandusz hallgatóként a kutatás megalapozó fázisánál tartok, vagyis célom a későbbi empirikus kutatás stabil elméleti bázisának kialakítása. Elméleti, strukturáló munkám során dokumentumelemzés révén szeretném az autonóm, tanuláshoz szükséges tanári-, valamint tanulói kompetenciákat minél pontosabban meghatározni, definiálni a mai elektronikus tanulási környezetben. A digitális technológia alkalmazása ma már a modern pedagógia megkerülhetetlen része, a felsőoktatásban egyre inkább elterjednek a távoktatási formák, míg a középiskolákban a digitális tanrend kihívásaival kellett/kell megküzdenie a tanulóknak, tanároknak. Ezekből is kitűnik, hogy az önszabályozott tanulásra való képesség fontossága napjainkra jelentősen megnőtt, a továbbtanulás sikerességének egyik kulcsa. Az elméleti kutatás során tehát az autonóm tanulás négy fő területéhez kapcsolódó kompetenciákat azonosítom tanári és tanulói oldalról, ezek a kogníció, motiváció, viselkedés és kontextus. Az előkutatás eredményei amellett, hogy a későbbi empirikus kutatás alapjául szolgálnak, segítséget nyújthatnak a tanulóknak autonómiájuk hatékony fejlesztésében, a tanároknak pedig támogatás lehet, a paradigmaváltás korában az esetleges attitűdbéli változáshoz.
A kommunikációs gráfok és a fekete-fehér SAT probléma közti összefüggések vizsgálata
Authors: Rajna Franciska
Published: September 2021

Ebben a cikkben a kommunikációs gráfok és a fekete-fehér SAT probléma közötti összefüggéseket vizsgálom. A kommunikációs gráfok olyan speciális hurokélmentes irányított gráfok, amelyeknek csúcsai logikai változók, az élei pedig a kommunikációt reprezentálják. Ilyen típusú gráfokkal lehet többek között vezeték nélküli szenzorhálózatokat is modellezni. A cikkben bemutatom a fekete-fehér SAT problémát. A fekete-fehér SAT problémák olyan logikai formulák, amelyek majdnem kielégíthetetlenek, csak két megoldásuk van, az úgynevezett fehér hozzárendelés, ahol minden változó igaz, és a fekete hozzárendelés, amelyben minden változó hamis. A fekete-fehér SAT problémák ekvivalensek az olyan konjunktív normálformában lévő logikai formulákkal, amelyekben minden klózban pozitív és negatív literálok vegyesen szerepelnek (például ilyen 3SAT klózok a -++, --+), de sem a fehér klóz, amelyben minden literál pozitív, sem a fekete klóz, amelyben minden literál negatív, nem vezethető le. Továbbá ismertetem, és hatékonyság szempontjából elemzem a kommunikációs gráfok különböző logikai modelljeit (Erős modell, Balatonboglár modell, Egyszerűsített BB modell, Gyenge modell). ----- Investigation of the relationship between communication graphs and the black and white sat ----- In this article, I examine the relationships between communication graphs and the black-andwhite SAT problem. Communication graphs are special loop-free directed graphs whose vertices are logical variables and whose edges represent communication. These types of graphs can be used to model wireless sensor networks (WSNs), among other things. I present the black-and-white SAT problem. Black-and-white SAT problems are logical formulas that are almost unsatisfiable, they have only two solutions, the so-called white assignment, where all variables are true, and the black assignment, in which all variables are false. Black-and-white SAT problems are equivalent to logical formulas in a conjunctive normal form in which positive and negative literals are mixed in each clause (e.g., such 3-SAT clauses are - ++, - +), but not the white clause in which all literals are positive, nor the black clause in which all literals are negative cannot be deduced. I also describe and analyze the different logical models of communication graphs (Strong model, Balatonboglár model, Simplified BB model, Weak model) in terms of efficiency.
The Necessity in Combating Bioterrorism: An International Experience
Authors: Melnyk Petro , Yukhno Aleksandr , Martovуtska Оlena , Strok Inna
Published: September 2021

Objective: The aim of the article is in examining the characteristics of the relevant samples of successful experience of the developed countries in the sphere of combating bioterrorism. Method: The following methods were used by the authors in evaluating the efficiency of the research which involved: historical, analysis as well as bibliographic. Results: The current threats posed by such a phenomenon as bio-terrorism are identified and characterized, as well as successful international examples of its overcoming are analyzed. The level of danger of bio-terrorism has been established, as well as the negative consequences it causes. Cases of real use of biological weapons in different periods of human existence are characterized. It was during this period that various manifestations of bioterrorism around the world became much more active. Emphasis is placed on the fact that combating such a phenomenon as bioterrorism should be based on a comprehensive approach to solving this problem. Among other things, it should be a combination of effective law enforcement, a stable political situation and systematic interaction between the state and the population. Conclusions: The bio-terrorism can be divided into that carried out by criminal organizations, individuals or religious on the one hand, and that carried out by the state on the other. The bioterrorism, together with many of its harmful effects, poses a significant danger to humanity and society. It greatly damages the lives and health of individuals, destroys and destroys nature and the environment, and can create political and economic crises or social upheavals.

We come in Peace! (Well, do they?): Human Communicative Fears in Films of an Extra-terrestrial Nature
Authors: Roncallo-Dow Sergio , Uribe Jongbloed Enrique , Aguilar Rodríguez Daniel
Published: September 2021

Extra-terrestrial beings always have the potential to alter ‘the world as we know it.’ Whenever they appear in film or television, there is a debate about the possibility that we have, as human beings,  to communicate with them. Linguistics and semiotics become keyelements in our attempt to bridge the cultural gap. Be it through mathematics, music or technological gadgets, these films only mimic the uncertainty that arises from all types of interculturalcontact. The fear is always the misinterpretation that can turn a ‘We come in peace’ into a fully-fledged war.

This article starts from a general review of 138 films from the decade 2007-2017 to recognize the main points present in their narrative, which shows that hostile conflict remains the main theme. Then it provides an interpretive analysis of the films to describe the type of communication fears that exist incontemporary films, taking a special look at Avatar (Cameron, 2009), Arrival (Villeneuve, 2016) and District 9 (Blomkamp, 2009) as the main representations of our current understanding of communication difficulties. The humanization of extra-terrestrial beings to establish communication with them becomes an inverse representation of the dehumanization of the other, the enemy, as depicted by certain sectors of society and a few recently elected governments, with whom it is difficult to establish mechanisms of communication and dialogue.

Authors: Barredo Ibáñez Daniel , Ruiz Moreno Sandra Lucía
Published: September 2021

A través de las redes sociales, los medios en línea tienen la oportunidad no solo de distribuir los contenidos que originan, sino también de interactuar con sus audiencias y fomentar, con ello, un mayor diálogo social. Esto es especialmente relevante en las rutinas electorales, en que los candidatos y los partidos se encargan de presentar sus programas ante sus electores. Con este artículo, y a través de un análisis de contenido, se han evaluado 1272 mensajes difundidos a través de las cuentas de Twitter y Facebook de ocho cibermedios colombianos de cobertura nacional durante las elecciones legislativas de ese país de 2018. Entre los resultados principales, encontramos un protagonismo político dado, sobre todo, a las principales organizaciones políticas, además de unos tratamientos, en general, más favorables a estas mismas organizaciones.
La esquematización como estrategia de comunicación visual para una grata experiencia de usuario: un análisis de las aplicaciones educativas virtuales
Authors: Aguirre Erwin , Ferrer María de los Ángeles , Rojas Carlos
Published: September 2021

El estudio tuvo como objetivo principal el análisis de la comunicación visual en aplicaciones educativas virtuales, bajo el principio de la esquematización y centrado en una mejor experiencia de usuario. La investigación fue de carácter descriptivo. Es una investigación de carácter documental, basada en la recopilación y selección de información de aplicaciones educativas virtuales consideradas como documentos “html”- las cuales se sometieron a la técnica de análisis de contenido.

La muestra de estudio fue de tipo intencional y quedó conformada por 20 aplicaciones educativas virtuales seleccionadas bajo criterios establecidos previamente. Se empleó la técnica de la observación estructurada, aplicando como instrumento una guía de observación. Utilizado por tres expertos del área y, para el análisis y procesamiento de los datos, se empleó un método de triangulación de observadores.

El análisis de los resultados de la categoría esquematización, indicó que el sistema para la gestión de aprendizaje de la muestra analizada, no satisface los postulados de las bases teóricas de las estrategias de comunicación visual. Se evidenció una ineficiencia general en cada elemento que conforma la estrategia de esquematización, tales como: arquitectura de la información, criterios dicotómicos de organización, elementos multimedia y usabilidad. Los hallazgos reflejan la necesidad inmediata de un proceso de alfabetización visual, liderado principalmente por las escuelas de diseño y educación, con el propósito de crear las bases para el diseño de aplicaciones educativas virtuales que generen una mejor experiencia de usuario.

Published: September 2021

The creation of an electromagnetic shock absorber system is necessary taking into account such parameters of the vehicle and operating conditions as the quality of the roadway, the grades, and the weight and size of the vehicle. A mathematical simulation model of the vehicle was developed to determine energy indicators in various road sections. The MATLAB Simulink programming environment was chosen to create the most practical and functional simulation model. A number of experiments were carried out using various parameters of the vehicle, types of roadways and driving cycles. Simulation results allow obtaining basic characteristics of electromagnetic damper of the selected vehicle, on the basis of which a linear electromagnetic damper shock absorber will be calculated. System energy efficiency was determined when using a vehicle on roads having a different road surface evenness index.
Here Come My 600-Pound Quintuplets: A Discussion of Reality Television as a Freak Discourse
Authors: Pitcher Sandra
Published: September 2021

History is littered with tales of the absurd, odd, and unusual. From Gorgons and mermaids to bearded ladies and elephant men, people have, for centuries, been fascinated by those who deviate from physical and mental social norms. Such fascinations seemed to peak during the 19th century when showmen, like PT Barnum, bought and exhibited those deemed too different and macabre for “normal” society. However, as science and medicine progressed, and the protection of human rights became more important, freak shows and travelling sideshows dwindled (Nicholas & Chambers, 2016). Society’s fascination with the unusual though, did not. Despite increased political correctness and calls to end “fat shaming,” bullying and the like, reality television appears to encourage “a dehumanising process that actually lessens our regard for other people” (Sardar, 2000). While some writers have considered how reality television exploits stereotypes and links social norms to hegemonic whiteness (Cooke-Jackson & Hansen, 2008; Rennels, 2015), few have commented on the similarities between such programming and the stylings of the 19th century freak show. Utilising Thomson’s (1996) concept of freak discourse, and Bogdan’s (1996) assessment of freak narrative, this article examines how reality television programming as a genre, despite its varied plots, uses a narrative formula that can be likened to 19th century freak shows to enhance its storylines and “produce a human spectacle” (Thomson, 1996, p. 7).
“Chuck Norris, Please Help!” Transnational Cultural Flows in the 2017 Anti-Corruption Protests in Romania
Authors: Dumitrica Delia
Published: September 2021

This study examines the meaning-making work of transnational cultural references in protest. Whether using the image of the superhero or re-mixing a famous painting, the presence of such references in home-made protest placards was a striking feature of the 2017 anti-corruption protests in Romania. By means of a qualitative analysis of 58 such signs, this study identifies five types of transnational cultural resources co-opted in the local protest: politics, high and popular culture, brand names, computer culture, and other motivational slogans and protest symbols. Such references are appropriated in local protest for their recognizability potential, their generic interpretive frames, or their usefulness in generating surprising re-iterations of the political cause. Yet, the use of such references remains interwoven with the symbolic and political capital of professional, middle-class elites. In the Romanian case, the use of these transnational cultural references also constructs the protesters as cosmopolitan and aligned with Western cultural consumption and political practices. In turn, this frames political opponents as backwards, parochial, and unfit for democratic politics.
Surgical methods to correct arteriogenic erectile dysfunction
Authors: Bystrenkov A. V. , Povelitsa E. A. , Podgaisky V. N. , Povelitsa A. E.
Published: September 2021

The study objective is to define the state of the problem of surgical methods for the treatment arteriogenic forms of erectile dysfunction (ED) in the Republic of Belarus, to systematize surgical methods for the correction of arteriogenic ED, to evaluate the results of interventional, surgical and combined methods of the treatment of arteriogenic forms of ED in the Republic of Belarus.

Materials and methods. A comprehensive examination was carried out 65 men with arteriogenic ED (average age 52.2 ± 2.2 year, International Index of Erectile Function – 9.6 ± 1.3 points; the hardness of erection – 2.2 ± 0.3 according to the Yunem scale) included ultrasound, multispiral computed angiography, as results of stenosing and occlusive lesions of the aorto-iliac segments, internal pudendal artery (IPA) and distal branches were revealed. Of these, as a result of atherosclerotic damage to arteries – 59 (91 %) patients, hypoplasia of the IPA – 4 (6 %) patients and in 2 (3 %) – cases due to post-traumatic damage to the IPA during fracture of the pelvic bones. Pro- and retrospectively performed analysis of the results of endovascular, surgical and combined correction of chronic arterial insufficiency of penis. Based on the results of the study, blood flow deficiency was simulated in order to determine the possible level and method of its elimination. Subsequently, 34 reconstructive operations were performed, including endovascular: superselective stenting of IPA – in 1 case, angioplasty of IPA – one-bilateral – in 4 cases, stenting of the iliac arteries – in 14 cases, in 4 cases – aorto-femoral bypass or prosthetics. Microsurgical operations with epigastric-penile anastomosis were performed in 9 cases (Virag II type in 8 cases, Michal II – Scharlip in 1 case), including in 3 cases as a second stage to increase arterial perfusion of penis after endovascular interventions. In 3 cases, for severe arteriogenic ED and endothelial insufficiency, endophalloprosthesis was implanted (AMS-Spectra).

Results. According to the results of testing of patients after endovascular intervention or microsurgical reconstruction, as well as after a two-stage correction that included both methods, patients showed a statistically significant improvement in erectile function on the scale of the International Index of Erectile Function – from 9–12 points (10.0 ± 0.31 points) before surgery to 16–19 points (17.5 ± 0.25 points) 12 months after surgery (p = 0.0009).

Conclusions. Interventional methods of correction after micro surgical and combined operations in patients with arteriogenic ED allow achieving a satisfactory result during the first year after surgery, provided that patients are carefully selected using a comprehensive examination, including various ultrasound techniques, multispiral computed angiography, as well as the selection of an appropriate type of revascularization.

Published: September 2021

Background. Considering decreasing age of patients with prostate cancer, increasing cancer alertness of first-line doctors as well as increased frequency of radical prostatectomies (RP), the problem of preservation of erectile function (EF) is vitally important (erectile dysfunction develops in 25–75 % of all patients who underwent surgery).

The study objective is to analyze preservation of EF after RP depending on the type of endoscopic access and nerve preservation.

Materials and methods. Between February of 2015 and February of 2016, in the Urology Clinic of the Sechenov University, 507 RPs were performed; the retrospective single-center study included 231 patients with localized prostate cancer. Surgery was performed with the following accesses: laparoscopic, extraperitoneal laparoscopic, and robotic. Indications for nerve preservation were formulated based on the Briganti nomogram, Partin table as well as patient’s desire to preserve EF. Further evaluation of EF was performed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF5), evaluation of quality of life – using the QoL (Quality of Life) scale.

Results. RP with nerve preservation was performed in 150 patients. Surgical time and blood loss did not significantly differ for surgeries with and without nerve preservation (р = 0.064 and р = 0.073 respectively). Pathomorphological examination showed that in all cases (n = 231) integrity of the prostatic capsule and negative surgical margin were achieved. Frequent significant erectile dysfunction and full loss of EF were observed in patients after RP without nerve preservation compared to the group with preserved neurovascular bundles (5.0 (0.0–10.0) points compared to 6.5 (0.8–19.0) points per the IIEF5 scale, р = 0.271): 96.2 % versus 72.2 % (p <0.001). Nerve preservation significantly improved quality of life: 1.63 ± 1.16 points versus 1.88 ± 1.02 points per the QoL scale (р = 0.035).

Conclusions. The best results were achieved in the robotic access group. Surgery with nerve preservation decreased frequency of EF loss. This benefit in conjunction with the radical nature of the operative intervention allows to consider RP techniques with nerve preservation as reasonable approach to erectile dysfunction prevention in patients with localized prostate cancer.

Changes in parenchymal organs in general gonococcal infection
Authors: Gimmel I. M.
Published: September 2021

Both the abundant clinical observation and the pathological, histological and bacteriological knowledge, step by step, make it clear to us that the time has finally passed to look at gonococcal infection, as soon as the local process takes place, that gonococci in the various tissues and organs of the human organism are able to produce severe changes, often leading to death. In corroboration of my words, I could cite quite an abundance of clinical literature, often confirmed by bacteriology and histology, but I do not see the need for this in the first place, because it (although not everywhere in detail) has already been collected in various works on gonococcal infection, and in the second and foremost, because purely clinical literature is not directly related to my work. If, however, below I present clinical literature on the scope of general gonococcal infection, then I try to do this in general terms, grouping it by anatomical organs and tissues wherever possible.
