REPRESENTATION OF FASHION COLLECTION IN CRISIS CONDITIONS
Authors: Kvasnytsia Roksoliana
Published: April 2023

It is a personal resilience that plays a key role in a person's ability to successfully cope with stressful situations. There are many scientific studies and publications about the concept of "hardiness". The founder of this term is Suzanne C. Kobasa(Maddi and Kobasa, 2019). American psychologist Salvatore Maddi (Salvatore R. Maddi) went on with the study of this concept. He argues in his creations that resilience and strategies have its’ contribution to a resilience under stress. Muddy also interprets the resilience as a generalized way of functioning, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioral qualities. This style of functioning affects way a person perceives himself and interacts with the world around him (Maddi, 2014). In this context, we will consider fashion presentation and space design as factors influencing the stressful circumstances’ transformation into opportunities for personal and interpersonal growth while being in the destructive conditions of crisis situation.

Authors: Saikia Sonowal Bornali , Mahanta Amarjyoti
Published: April 2023

This paper studies the impact of antenatal care on maternal mortality rate among the tribal society through a cross
section study on the Karbis, the third largest scheduled tribe of Assam, India. Applying the regression analysis, it has
been found that utilization of antenatal care service and maternal death has negatively related.Full antenatal care visits
can reduce the number of maternal deaths. The paper recommends for expansion of antenatal care services through
public awareness programmes,involvement of the community and increase government intervention to remove the gap
between availability and accessibility of healthcare services and thereby improve the maternal health of the Karbis

Authors: Singh Chande Narendra , Saxen Yatish , Raghuwansh Sameer , Sahu Rimjhim
Published: April 2023

Background: To assess individually optimized protocol of contrast medium injection in enhanced CT scan for liver
imaging.Materials & methods: 50 patients who underwent liver CT scan were included in the present study.Random
division of all the patients was done into two study groups as follows:Group A and group B (25 patients in each group).All
the patients were scanned using CT machine.All patients underwent both unenhanced and enhanced CT scans during
hepatic arterial phase (HAP) and portal venous phase (PVP).All the enhanced CT scans during HAP and PVP started at
thirty-five seconds and sixty-five seconds respectively, after the contrast injection, from the level of diaphragm to
inferior hepatic edge. Both groups received the same contrast medium. Group A adopted an individually optimized
protocol of the platform, which automatically calculated the contrast medium dose. Patients of group B received a
standard contrast medium injection protocol with a contrast medium to weight dose of 1.5 ml/kg. CT values of
unenhanced liver parenchyma, CT values of liver parenchyma during HAP and PVP, and CT values of the portal vein
during PVP were measured.CT examinations were performed in both group A and group B patients.Analysis of results
was done using SPSS software.Results: Mean CT value of liver parenchyma during HAP (HU) among patients of group A
and group B was 78.3 and 77.1 respectively. Mean CT value of liver parenchyma during PVP (HU) among patients of
group A and group B was 103.1 and 108.3 respectively.Mean CT value of portal vein during PVP (HU) among patients of
group A and group B was 145.3 and 158.7 respectively.Mean Contrast medium dose (ml) among patients of group A and
group B was 79.2 and 95.3 respectively.Significant results were obtained while comparing the outcome variables among the two study groups. Conclusion: From the above results, the authors concluded that in enhanced CT scan for liver imaging,individualizing the contrast dose on the basis of body weight through contrast medium injection protocol could efficaciously decrease contrast medium dose

Authors: Kanta sethy Tushar , Gahan Padmabati
Published: April 2023

The current study examines the determinants of profitability of Indian scheduled commercial banks. The analysis is conducted over a period of 17 years in which the Indian banking sector has faced different challenges such as implementation of Basel II (2008), Basel III (2013) accord and issues related to demonetization (2016), banking sector sustainability and financial crisis in U.S (2008).The analysis is based on balanced panel data over a period ranging from 2005 to 2021 for 33 scheduled commercial banks of India. Profitability of Indian banks is measured by two proxies, namely,return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE),whereas bank size,assets quality,capital adequacy,liquidity, operating efficiency, deposits, leverage, and assets management are used as bank-specific factors. Further, a set of macroeconomic determinants such as gross domestic product,inflation rate, export,import,interest rate, and financial crisis are used as independent variables.Stationary test along with correlation matrix, pooled, fixed, random effect models and Hausman test are used in this study. The results revealed that bank size; assets management ratio, and operational efficiency, are the most important bank-specific determinants have positively and significantly affect the profitability of Indian commercial banks as measured by ROA as well as ROE.However,leverage ratio and asset quality have significant and negative impact on ROA and ROE during the period of study.With regard to the macroeconomic determinants,the results revealed that the GDP,export,and interest rate are found to have a positive significant impact on ROA and ROE.However,inflation rate and crisis have significant and negative impact on ROA and ROE during the period of study.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND: The treatment of a large soft tissue defect affecting the upper and middle portion of the leg remains a
problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and adaptability of a gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap
cover for a post-traumatic major defect of the upper and middle third of the leg. METHODS: This prospective study was
undertaken from January 2021 to December 2022 on 27 consecutive cases with post-traumatic upper and middle third
leg defect treated with gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap, and the functional and aesthetic outcomes were assessed.
RESULTS: There were no reports of full flap failure. In two individuals (7.4%), there was partial cutaneous necrosis and
infection noted in one individual (3.7%) There was no postoperative hematoma. In terms of donor site morbidity, no
functional deformity was seen during the follow-up period. The process was proven to be dependable, technically
simple, and visually pleasing. CONCLUSION: Post-traumatic extensive leg defects extending in the upper and middle
thirds were easily covered with a regional gastrocnemius myocutaneous flap, resulting in a great outcome and
cosmetically acceptable skin coverage without substantial problems or long-term morbidity and can be performed by
an orthopedic surgeon without the assistance of plastic surgeon
A CASE SERIES ON ADULT INTUSSUSCEPTIONS IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL AND
LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: P. Gayathre S. , Niranjan Kumar R. , R.P. Viknesh K.
Published: April 2023

The invagination of one part of the bowel into a neighboring part is known as intussusception.In both the pediatric and
adult populations,there are differences in the etiology,symptoms,diagnoses,and treatments.The majority of idiopathic
cases in the pediatric population lead to the typical scenario of ileocolic intussusception.Anatomical characteristics of
the developing gastrointestinal tract and viral effects are factors that contribute to causality. The intussusceptum in
adults often develops as a result of a focal location of traction acting as a mucosal, intramural, or extrinsic lead point,
drawing the proximal portion of the intestine into the peristalsing distal segment.Intussusception in the adult population
poses a diagnostic problem prior to surgery; although surgical intervention is required, intraoperative care is still
debatable
ROLE OF FUNCTIONAL MRI AND O-RADS MRI RISK SCORE IN EVALUATION OF INDETERMINATE OVARIAN MASSES
Authors: Hazarika Karuna , Ahmed Halimuddin , Mohidul Islam Md
Published: April 2023

Background- Ovarian masses are a common finding in routine clinical practice. MRI shows great accuracy in the detection and discrimination of ovarian/adnexal masses, but conventional MRI sequences sometimes fail to characterize indeterminate ovarian masses. Functional MRI techniques, such as DWI and DCE-MRI provides further information based on tissue cellularity and internal architecture of ovarian tumors respectively. To Aims- evaluate the various conventional and DCE-MRI characteristics of ovarian masses, to estimate their ADC values and to assess the performance of the O-RADS MRI risk score. The study was conducted in the Department of Materials and methodsRadio-diagnosis, TMCH over a period of one year, on 50 patients diagnosed with indeterminate or suspicious ovarian mass in US examination. MRI was performed on a 1.5-T MR imaging unit. The findings were correlated with results of HPE. Results- The diagnostic accuracy of O-RADS MRI risk score was 93.2%, sensitivity 94.74%, and specificity 93.67%. Among the DCE-MR parameters, MRE% showed higher specificity (80%) and Tmax showed higher sensitivity (97.5%). Malignant masses showed higher MRE% and less time to peak compared to benign masses. ADC cut-off of <1.0x10-3 for the solid component of the masses has produced a sensitivity of 90.24%, specificity of 77.78% and accuracy of 88.5%. Conclusion- Based on the results of our study, we conclude that in cases of indeterminate ovarian masses, functional MRI should be the investigation of choice. Further, applying the O-RADS MRI risk score in clinical practice standardizes reporting and allows for a customized patient-centred strategy.

TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL.
Authors: Mangotra Pankaj , Choudhary Shikha , Singh Sumitpal
Published: April 2023

Objective:To assess the severity of low back pain (LBP) during pregnancy including prevalence,risk factors,impact on
daily life and health management in a tertiary care hospital in Jammu. Methods: An anonymous, 30-question
questionnaire was administered to pregnant women admitted to a tertiary care hospital and attending the OPD.A total of
500 surveys were returned between April 2022 and September 2022. Results: 325 (65%) respondents reported
experiencing LBP during the current pregnancy. Gestational age did not affect incidence. Back pain during current
pregnancy was predicted by age (younger women were more likely to experience it; LBP without pregnancy, during
menstruation and during previous pregnancy. Most respondents reported that LBP during pregnancy caused sleep
disturbances (52).%) and worsened daily life (58%) Average pain was moderate Almost 32% of respondents stopped at
least one daily activity because of pain and reported that the pain also prevented them from performing other routine
activities. Only 40% of respondents who experienced LBP during pregnancy reported the problem to their prenatal
care providers,and only 22% of prenatal care providers recommended treatment. Conclusion: Our study showed that
LBP during menstruation predicts a high risk of LBP in the current pregnancy. The study showed that LBP during
menstruation and previous LBP can be useful tests to rule out and resolve LBP during pregnancy.

Authors: K. Sharma Maneesh , Sharma Danish , Gupta Nitish
Published: April 2023

Introduction Foot ulceration and its complications are one of the major complications attributing to the hospital
admission, with overall prevalence of about 4 -10% and even higher in geriatric population (5-10%).With the lifetime
risk of 15%,it contributes as a major factor of morbidity and not infrequently leading to severe adverse outcomes, such
as amputation and life threatening sepsis.The study was aimed at analyzing the prevalence of diabetic foot infection,its
complications and outcomes of different treatment modalities available in a tertiary care center.Material and Methods
A prospective observational study of 12 month duration was conducted among 100 patients having a history of diabetes
and diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcer undergoing treatment in the surgery department of a tertiary care center in
Jammu.The period of study was Feb 2022 to Feb 2023.Prior to the study an informed written consent and approval of the
ethics committee was obtained. Results The incidence of diabetic foot ulcers peaks at the 5th decade of life with the
mean age in our study being 53.17±10.2 years.A predominance in the male population (m:f ratio=2.57:1) and higher risk
in the lower socio-economic strata was also noticed. The most common presenting complaint being ulcer (96%) and
discharge (67%).Culture positivity was seen in 80% of the patients with Staph.Aureus being the most common causative
organism. The main stray of treatment involved debridement and amputation (31%) followed by Split thickness skin
grafting (30%). No adverse events were noted during the course of study. Conclusion Being a menace in developing
countries,diabetes mellitus,a disease with life threatening and physically incapacitating consequences which not only
increases the patient morbidity but also substantially increases the economic burden. Provision of precise counseling
and a multidisciplinary line of action can lessen the complication and amputation rate, and is therefore recommended,

Miscigenação e purismo: divergências estéticas entre João do Rio e Dziga Vertov
Authors: Rocha Ferreira e Silva Gustavo , Magalhães Leitão Marcelo
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo delineia as divergências estéticas entre o contista, cronista, jornalista, tradutor e teatrólogo João Paulo Emílio Cristóvão dos Santos Coelho Barreto (mais conhecido como “João do Rio”) e o cineasta polonês Dziga Vertov. Foram analisados textos que compõem a obra Cinematographo: crônicas cariocas (1909), de autoria do primeiro, e os manifestos publicados pelo segundo. O trabalho objetivou sustentar a tese de que ambos adotaram premissas e posturas diametralmente opostas entre si. Afinal, parte considerável da produção de João do Rio ficou marcada pelo signo evidente da miscigenação – não somente por conta da confluência de traços tanto da crônica quanto do texto jornalístico como, sobretudo, pela absorção das inovações trazidas pelo cinematógrafo –, enquanto que Dziga Vertov primou pela pureza da linguagem cinematográfica a ponto de protegê-la contra a influência de outras formas de arte.
Uma repaginação da história na representação dos tempos em O outro pé de sereia, de Mia Couto
Authors: Molina Maria de Fátima Castro de Oliveira , Monteiro Pedro Manoel
Published: April 2023

A configuração temporal do romance O outro pé da sereia (2006) estrutura-se sobre a encenação temática de tempos representativos do passado e do presente que se entrelaçam na tessitura narrativa. Partindo desse princípio, analisar a categoria temporal nos dois planos narrativos que estruturam a obra, constitui o objetivo deste artigo. O percurso investigativo adotado desenvolve-se a partir da análise dos elementos empregados na composição temporal do passado histórico pré-colonial e do presente pós-colonial. As concepções teóricas de Mendilow (1972), Pouillon (1974), Ricoeur (2007) e Nunes (1988) fornecem elementos para a compreensão da dinamicidade de que se reveste a categoria temporal na narrativa. No romance, a construção dos tempos ficcionais desvela poder e opressão no passado, desolação e reconstrução no presente.

Quando a literatura reescreve o passado:
Authors: Soares Fonseca Carlos Henrique
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo a análise da literatura portuguesa contemporânea e suas relações com a História. Dentre os autores portugueses contemporâneos, destaca-se aqui Hélia Correia, vencedora do Prêmio Camões em 2015. Ainda que seja autora de uma vasta obra, sua literatura permanece pouco estudada pela crítica. Lillias Fraser (2001), romance que o trabalho pretende analisar, tem diversas possibilidades de leitura e foi escolhido aqui abordar as relações estabelecidas dentro dele entre História e Literatura, visto que tem diversos acontecimentos históricos como cenário, em especial o Terremoto de 1755 que ocorreu em Lisboa. Helena Buescu, ao discorrer sobre como é que a literatura vai retratar esse momento histórico, afirma que “falar (e por isso escrever) é um dos modos privilegiados de dar forma à experiência traumática, transportando o evento do território da experiência para o território da linguagem, constituindo aquilo a que chamamos memória cultural” (2006, p. 37). O presente trabalho, portanto, pretende tentar responder as seguintes questões: como a ficção contemporânea portuguesa lê a experiência do terremoto e como o discurso literário dá conta dos silêncios que foram deixados na História?

Palavras-chave: Ficção Portuguesa Contemporânea; Metaficção historiográfica; Intertextualidade.

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to review the contemporary portuguese literature and its relations with History. Among all the writers, Hélia Correia, winner of the Camões Award in 2015, stands out. Even though se is na author of vast work, her fiction remains almost unstudied by the critics. Lillias Fraser (2001), the novel that this paper intends to analyze, has several possibilities for reading and it was chosen here to approach the relationships established within it between History and Literature, since it has several historical events as scenario, especially the 1755 Earthquake that happened in Lisbon. Helena Buescu, when discussing how literature will portray this moment, states that “speaking (and therefore writing) is one of the privileged wyas of shaping the traumatic experience, transporting the event from the experience plane to the language one, forming what we call cultural memory” (2006, p. 137). Therefore, this paper tries to answer the following questions: how the contemporary fiction reads the earthquake experience and how the literature speech deals the silence lef in History?

Keywords: Contemporary Portuguese Fiction; Historiographical Metafiction; Intertextuality.
O conto de aia
Authors: Alves Elis Regina Fernandes , Dos Santos Danielle Fabrício
Published: April 2023

Analisou-se o romance distópico O conto de aia, de Margaret Atwood, publicado em 1985, observando-se a fragilidade das conquistas do feminismo. A protagonista perde todos os seus direitos e transforma-se em uma mera reprodutora. A análise foca na constante necessidade de lutas feministas pelos direitos das mulheres, evidenciando como a protagonista ainda tenta subverter sua situação em pequenos atos de resistência. Esta análise contou com a aporte teórico de Alves e Pitanguy (1985), Michelle Perrot (2019), Mary Wollstonecraft (2016), dentre outras. Quanto ao movimento feminista na literatura, foram utilizadas obras de Simone de Beauvoir (2019), Elaine Showalter (2014), Kate Millett (1970). A análise revela que essa personagem vive no futuro distópico em que houve uma regressão das conquistas feministas que foram sufocadas, levando à vitória do patriarcalismo que impõe nas mulheres estilos de vida arcaicos, baseados fortemente em um teor religioso e fanático. A obra evidencia que, como já apontava Simone de Beauvoir, os direitos das mulheres nunca estarão seguros, portanto é imprescindível que todos tenham esta consciência e as lutas feministas continuem de forma constante.
CID22: Large-Scale Subjective Quality Assessment for High Fidelity Image Compression
Authors: Sneyers Jon , Ben Baruch Elad , Vaxman Yaron
Published: April 2023

We propose a new methodology for large-scale subjective quality assessment of compressed still images in the high fidelity range. Combining two different assessment protocols, one based on pairwise comparisons, the other on absolute opinions, it is designed to assess this range of qualities not well-covered by previous methodologies. The methodology was applied to create the Cloudinary Image Dataset '22 (CID22), consisting of 22,153 annotated images (with scores based on 1.4 million opinions), originating from 250 pristine images compressed using JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG XL, HEIC, WebP, and AVIF at high fidelity settings. Using this data, we evaluate various image encoders and objective metrics.
Topology Optimization of Motor Windings for Coreless Electrical Machines
Authors: Thabuis Adrien , Ren Xiaotao , Perriard Yves
Published: April 2023

Topology optimization has gained significant attention in the scientific community as a means to automate the design process and explore novel geometries for various applications. In this study, we propose extending this method to the design of motor windings, with a specific focus on coreless electrical machines. These machines offer greater design freedom by eliminating iron teeth that would otherwise restrict the winding design space. Our objective is to optimize the motor winding to maximize the motor constant, a crucial metric balancing motor torque and Joule losses. We present a versatile design method that incorporates a case study but can be adapted to other scenarios. The contributions of this article encompass the adaptation and extension of the density-based topology optimization method for motor windings. Firstly, we propose a multi-coil interpolation scheme that enables the design of a winding pack consisting of multiple coils assembled without restrictions on their final geometry or position. Secondly, we formulate a 2.5-D topology optimization method that allows the coils to overlap in space, avoiding the need for a computationally expensive full 3-D analysis while maintaining reasonable computational time. Our approach yields a novel winding topology featuring tracks of varying width and thickness, resulting in a superior performance with a motor constant increase of up to 17% compared to references.

An Ultra-Reliable Quantum-Safe Software-Defined Deterministic Internet of Things (IoT) for Data-Centers, Cloud Computing and the Metaverse
Authors: Szymanski Ted
Published: April 2023

The next-generation Industrial and Tactile Internet of Things (IoT) will support smart Cyber-Physical Systems and Industry 4.0, including Smart Cities, and Industrial Automation. It will also support bandwidth-intensive applications, ie Data-Centers, Cloud Computing and the Metaverse. This paper explores ultra-high reliability and throughput in a "Software-Defined Deterministic Internet of Things".  Multiple "Software-Defined Deterministic Wide Area Networks" (SDD-WANs) are introduced into layer 3, using simple "Deterministic Packet Switches" (D-switches).  All complex functions are removed from layer-3 hardware, and are migrated into the SDN control-plane. The resulting D-switches can be fabricated on a single \emph{Integrated Circuit}, ie FPGA. To maximize reliability, mission-critical data is routed over multiple paths. A simple Forward Error Correcting (FEC) code transmits coded data over additional paths, to tolerate edge failures.  This architecture offers many benefits: (a) "Ultra-High Reliability" is achieved, while reducing bandwidth costs; (b) "Ultra-High Throughput" is achieved, to support Data- Centers, Cloud Computing and the Metaverse; (c) The "bare-metal" D-switches use FPGAs to dramatically lower costs, with potential cost-savings reaching $1-2 Trillion (USD) over  2025...2030.  (d) The lower costs address the IEEE's "Digital Divide", and can potentially improve Internet access for much of the world. (e) The  Software-Defined-Networking (SDN) control-plane integrates Post-Quantum-Cryptography (PQC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and achieves ultra-secure Quantum-Safe communications, where each nation can achieve unprecedented protection of its critical infrastructure from external cyber-attackers.

Propõe uma análise conceitual com o intuito de elucidar a relação convergente entre as atividades que se caracterizam pelo fazer científico, crítico e técnico das práticas da Organização do Conhecimento; da Preservação Digital e da Curadoria Digital e dos estudos da Memória. Tem como objetivo discutir questões referentes à identificação da Organização do Conhecimento dentro das atividades de curadoria digital, entendendo suas possíveis implicações para com a preservação e o acesso à memória institucional e científica, que por sua vez, do ponto de vista aplicado, acaba por requerer a existência de um repositório para a salvaguarda de objetos digitais. A metodologia é classificada como a materialização inicial de um esforço coletivo calcado em um método dedutivo, onde partimos das características básicas dessas atividades já listadas para o particular que se traduz na perspectiva de natureza convergente entre elas e se faz presente por meio de uma pesquisa de ordem básica, qualitativa e exploratória a partir de um levantamento, seguido de debate, bibliográfico. Conclui-se que não é possível pensar na salvaguarda de objetos digitais sem que também haja uma reflexão crítica sobre os critérios utilizados para sua descrição e sobre o vocabulário que viabiliza sua posterior recuperação. Em meio a tantas nuances, ainda é necessário pensar na proposição de políticas que fundamentam a construção de um repositório voltado — não só — para o armazenamento dos objetos digitais, como também para a disposição do acesso e para o gerenciamento pleno por todo o seu ciclo de vida.

Published: April 2023

A gestão dos riscos de conhecimento vem se desenvolvendo como uma nova área de pesquisa relacionada à gestão do conhecimento e ao capital intelectual. Apesar do interesse científico pelo tema ter crescido nos últimos anos, ainda se faz necessário conhecer os riscos informacionais envolvidos nos processos de produção, de modo que o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma Revisão Sistemática dos distintos tipos de riscos de conhecimento encontrados na literatura. Como procedimento metodológico para conduzir a RSL, foram seguidas as diretrizes propostas por Yu Xiao e Maria Watson, que estabelecem oito etapas para a condução de uma revisão de literatura. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 24 documentos. Como resultado foi possível consolidar os principais riscos mencionados nos documentos selecionados, quais sejam, perda de conhecimento; vazamento de conhecimento; transbordamento de conhecimento; desgaste do conhecimento; ocultação do conhecimento; acúmulo de conhecimento; terceirização do conhecimento e lacunas de conhecimento. Como conclusão é possível afirmar que é necessário maior aprofundamento acerca dos riscos de conhecimento, idealmente por mais pesquisadores que venham a se interessar pelo tema.

Authors: Silva de Freitas Islla , Gomes Pereira de Sá Raquel , Bicalho Cevolani Pires Luciana , Bruneli do Prado Camila , Maria Muniz Virginia , Bresciani Salaroli Luciane
Published: April 2023

Introdução: as Doenças Não Transmissíveis (DNT) são consideradas um grande problema de saúde pública, o que torna fundamental o desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção, prevenção e tratamento.
Objetivo: sintetizar e avaliar as evidências sobre as ações de alimentação e nutrição para o enfrentamento das DNT em adultos e idosos na perspectiva da APS no Brasil.
Método: trata-se de uma revisão de escopo da literatura, guiada pelas diretrizes do JBI e seguida as etapas de Itens de Relatórios Preferenciais para Revisões Sistemáticas e Extensão de Meta-Análises para Revisões de Escopo. A busca ocorreu em 5 bases de dados eletrônicas: MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, Central Cochrane Library e LILACS, e a literatura cinza, contemplando os sítios eletrônicos oficiais do governo e a Rede de Alimentação e Nutrição do SUS.
Resultados: foram identificados um total de 1844 artigos e apenas 42 artigos se enquadraram nos critérios de elegibilidade da metodologia proposta. Foi identificado que entre as evidências científicas disponibilizadas, as ações de alimentação e nutrição na APS, encontram-se concentradas em estratégias de educação e orientação de hábitos saudáveis para tratamento de DNT baseados em Políticas e Diretrizes Públicas de Nutrição designadas em sua maioria por uma população composta de adultos e uma parte reduzida de idosos.
Conclusão: há necessidade de mais estudos publicados sobre ações de alimentação e nutrição na APS, pois as evidências científicas disponíveis não correspondem a 50% dos estados brasileiros, sendo insuficientes para impactar positivamente a situação nutricional do país. Além disso, mais pesquisas com abordagem preventiva às DNT são essenciais, uma vez que a APS caracteriza-se por um conjunto de ações relacionadas à saúde que têm como foco principal a promoção e proteção da saúde.

Authors: AL-Khafaf Eman Salem
Published: April 2023

Objective: The main objectives of this research were to survey the attitudes of Iraqi Health workers towards mentally ill people in Mosul city in Iraq and to investigate possible factors, which impact on Iraqi health workers' attitudes to people with mental health problems.
Methodology: A survey quantitative method was used to address the research questions. The survey involved a pilot study to test the feasibility of the survey. Alpha-coefficient reliability tests output was (0.82) and indicated strong reliability on each attitudinal scale. To eliminate the ethical issue, the survey sample utilized a systematic random sample, with a target number for the sample of 300 of health workers. The present research conducted in Mosul medical area in Iraq of July to October 2011. Statistical Package for the Social Science program (SPSS, version 19) was used to analyze the data.
Results: Only 273 of 300 surveys were in actuality completed and used for analysis. (52.7%) of the respondents were females. There was a heavier distribution of respondents in the (18-24) age group, representing (51.6%) of the total survey sample. The results of the one-sample test demonstrate a finding of no significance for the relationship between gender and attitudes (Sig= 0.16). The differences of the means among the age groups were tested using one way ANOVA. Analysis of variance for the differences between total respondents' scores and their age indicated non-significance of observing the comparison of group means (Sig = 0.167).
Conclusion: The research questions and hypotheses pertained directly to the variables of age, gender, and any other notable finding as housed within the first research question. Although the data analysis shows there are biases in responding, there are in general negative attitudes of health workers in Iraq towards people with mental health problems.
Recommendations: 1. The present research recommends that the future study should be examined the relationship between cultural elements (such as sex and gender) and societal attitudes toward mental illness and those with mental illness, and find what types of approaches for raising social awareness to truly address the biases in the people's attitudes and hence the quality of life for people with mental illness. 2. Initiate educational programmes regarding mental illnesses knowledge through governmental or non-governmental organizations focused in particular on the health workers and on Iraqi community in general in order to change the negative attitudes towards people with mental health problems.

Published: April 2023

A cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cAVM) is an arteriovenous shunt of congenital origin without interposition of an intermediate capillary bed. It involves one or more arteries or veins. A cluster of abnormal vessels (the ″nidus) is usually found around it. The lack of a capillary interface results in increased arterial blood flow and venous pressure downstream of the defect. The haunt is that of a spontaneous rupture. This is a rare condition. We report the case of a 45 year old female patient with an parieto-temporal arteriovenous malformation. The initial symptomatology consisted of consciousness disorders with intracranial hypertension syndrome. Cerebral arteriography revealed a single left parietal arteriovenous malformation of peripheral location with superficial venous drainage.

Published: April 2023

Bronchogenic cyst remains a rare etiology of cervical mediastinal masses for which imaging plays a role in lesion characterization. There are many etiologies of cervical masses, and in most cases a rigorous semiological analysis will allow us to determine the etiology and to orientate the therapeutic management. We report in this article the case of a cervico-mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in a 56 year old female patient revealed by a fairly well limited cystic cervical mass on ultrasound, the lower edge of which is embedded in the upper orifice of the thorax, with a liquid-like cervico- mediastinal opacity pushing back the trachea; represented by a mass of liquid density not enhanced after injection of the PDC on the CT scan of cervico-mediastinal location pushing back the vascular axes and the elements of the mediastinum The treatment consisted of a total exeresis of the lesion and an anatomopathological study revealed a bronchogenic cyst; The postoperative course was without particularities.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a primary or secondary benign tumor, consisting of an intraosseous cavity, uni or multilocular, with hematic content. It can develop on all bones of the skeleton with, however, a predilection for the long bones and the spine. KOA mainly affects children and young adults, with a slight female predominance. Objective: The aim of this work is to reveal the diagnostic features at the imaging level. Case Report: This is an 11-year-old female patient with no previous pathological history who has presented for 1 year with diffuse maxillofacial pain, with intermittent fluid discharge in the oral cavity. Facial CT scan without and with contrast injection objective a lytic image centered on the lateral wall of the left maxillary sinus bulging into the sinus lumen with a spontaneously hypodense multicompartmental appearance without contrast gain after PDC injection. Conclusion: KAO is a very polymorphic lesion, which presents a diagnostic problem (Aspecific radiological appearance). In spite of the different therapeutic modalities proposed, it is the surgical treatment which exposes less risk of recurrence.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Synovialosarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor that usually affects the soft parts of the lower limbs, especially in the knee or ankle region, in adolescents or young adults. Much more rarely, it is observed in the retrovesical region. Objective: The aim of our work is to illustrate and show the primordial interest of imaging in the positive diagnosis and follow-up of this pathology. Case Report: This is a 13-year-old patient, with no pathological history, who presented for 9 months a urinary obstructive and irritative syndrome, complicated by acute retention of urine. Pelvic ultrasound showed a midline, rounded pelvic mass measuring 8x9 cm isoechoic, with areas of cystization, infiltrating the bladder base and the prostate. Abdominal-pelvic CT scan with and without injection of contrast product revealed a bulky retrovesical mass, roughly rounded, hypodense, of homogeneous tissue density, discreetly enhanced after injection of contrast product. The histological and immuno-histo-chemical study of the biopsy revealed a Synovialosarcoma. The recommended treatment was primary chemotherapy. Conclusion: Imaging is essential to guide the diagnosis, establish prognostic criteria and ensure post-therapeutic follow-up.
