Authors: Sachdev Namrita , Singh Yashvant , Rampal Parikha , . Sana
Published: April 2020

Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common autoimmune inflammatory synovial arthritis causing wide range of disability in children. The involvement of temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) in JIA varies ranging from 17% to 87%. Unlike other synovial joints, the TM joint is particularly vulnerable to inflammatory damage as the mandibular growth plate is superficial. JIA is a clinical diagnosis and is characterized by synovial hyperplasia and inflammation leading to joint effusion. TMJ involvement is clinically difficult to assess and often goes untreated. Children with TMJ arthritis have mastication dysfunction and pain. Delayed detection and treatment leads to abnormalities like micrognathia, jaw deformity, facial dysmorphism and chewing problems. MRI is the most sensitive modality to diagnose synovitis and involvement of TMJ in children of JIA.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was undertaken in 30 children diagnosed as JIA as per ILAE criteria. They were evaluated clinically followed by contrast enhanced MRI for evidence of TMJ arthritis.Results: Of the 60 joints evaluated, clinical involvement was found in 18 joints (10 patients). 12(66.7%) out of them had MRI changes. 3(7.1%) joints out of 42 asymptomatic joints had MRI changes. 13 joints had synovial hypertrophy, 8 joints showed bone erosions. Bone marrow edema was seen in 2 joints, with no evidence of cartilage involvement in any joint. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of clinical examination to diagnose TMJ arthritis as compared to MRI was 80.0%, 86.7%, 66.7% and 92.7% respectively.Conclusions: With paucity of clinical signs and symptoms, early involvement of TMJ arthritis in children of JIA can be detected by MRI to prevent long term disability in patients.
Plasmablastic lymphoma of transverse colon: a rare case report
Authors: Shah Pinal , Hathila R. N. , Vyas Jahnavi , Balvalli Rishikesh
Published: April 2020

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with large neoplastic cells. It is usually associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection but also identified in patients with solid organ transplantation and in immunocompetent patients. It frequently presents as a mass in oral cavity, but has also been described in other extra-oral sites like gastrointestinal track, skin, genitourinary track, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, etc. It is characterized by plasmablastic features and an immunoprofile close to plasma cells, Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) positivity and MYC gene dysregulation. We report a case of a 40 year old HIV positive male who presented with intestinal obstruction having mass in transverse colon. Histopathological examination of the excised mass revealed submucosa and muscularis propria infiltrated by monotonous population of medium to large sized lymphoid cells with plasmacytic differentiation. The tumour cells were immunoreactive for EMA, CD138 and Vimentin and immunonegative for LCA, CK, S-100, Chromogranin, CD20, CD30, CD3. Thus the final diagnosis of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma – Consistent with Plasmablastic Lymphoma was made. PBL should be carefully differentiated from Plasmablastic Plasma cell myeloma, other CD20 negative B-cell neoplasma i.e. primary effusion lymphoma, anaplastic lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive large B-cell lymphoma, large B-cell lymphoma arising in human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8)-associated multicentric Castleman disease.
Antenatal diagnosis of omphalocele and spinal dysraphism: a possible OEIS complex
Authors: Khanna Dolly , Bhatti Karandeep S.
Published: April 2020

OEIS complex, which comprises of omphalocele, exstrophy bladder, imperforate anus and spinal dysraphism, is a rare disorder. The prognosis depends upon the severity of the structural defects. Survival depends on the extension of the cloacal exstrophy and the neural tube defect. The antenatal diagnosis in early pregnancy is very tough, and a high level of suspicion should be kept for the possibility of its existence, even only if omphalocele and spinal dysraphism are seen on a prenatal sonography. Authors present the case of a 33-year-old, G1P0 female, who on her prenatal routine sonography scan, was found to have a fetus with omphalocele and spinal dysraphism. Despite the repeated attempts to follow her up, she refused and hence the possibility of the presence of other associated malformations could not be ascertained. Considering the difficulty of antenatal diagnosis of OEIS complex and its associated mortality, the objective of this case report is to discuss the vital sonographic findings of OEIS, along with its etiology and prognosis, which can aid in its early detection and subsequently help parents to make a decision regarding the continuation of pregnancy.

Terör korkusu, son yıllarda dünya çapında gerçekleşen ve büyük oranda sivil halkı hedef alan terör

saldırılarının ortaya çıkardığı önemli bir sorundur. Bu korku pek çok unsur tarafından

tetiklenebilmektedir. Araştırmanın temel amacı, terör korkusu ile mekan ilişkisini ortaya koymak ve

korkunun belirli mekanlarda yoğunlaşıp yoğunlaşmadığını saptamaktır. Araştırmanın teorik

çerçevesini, suç korkusunu mekanın fiziksel ve sosyal özellikleri bağlamında ele alan kentsel

organizasyonsuzluk teorilerden düzensizlik, sosyal kontrol ve altkültürel çeşitlilik teorileri

oluşturmaktadır. Dünya risk toplumu teorisi, araştırma kapsamında faydalanılan bir diğer teorik

bağlamdır. Araştırma verileri, 2018 yılında Ankara’da gerçekleştirilen 400 anket ve 20 görüşmenin

sonuçlarına dayanmaktadır.

Araştırma sonuçları, terör korkusunun belirli mekanlarda diğerlerine göre daha çok hissedildiğini ortaya

koymaktadır. Ayrıca düzensizlik ve sosyal kontrol teorileri gibi suç korkusu teorilerinin, terör

korkusunu açıklayamadığı, altkültürel çeşitlilik teorisinin ise korkunun mekansal yoğunlaşması

üzerinde nispeten açıklayıcı olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Araştırma, Türkiye’de terör korkusunun

mekansal yoğunluğunu ve bunu tetikleyen faktörleri ortaya koyması açısından literatür için önem arz

etmektedir.

Authors: Rouini Mohammadreza , Khoshnam Rad Niloofar , Najafi Atabak , Sharifnia Hamidreza , Dianatkhah Mehrnoush , Mojtahedzadeh Mojtaba , Najmeddin Farhad
Published: April 2020

Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating condition with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Neuroprotective agents protect surrounding brain tissue from the toxic effects of hematoma and can result in better outcomes. There is evidence demonstrating the neuroprotective benefits of melatonin in experimental animal models of ICH. Reduced melatonin levels have been reported in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate baseline melatonin levels and pharmacokinetic profile of melatonin in ICH patients.
Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial in which 24 patients with non-traumatic ICH were divided into melatonin and control groups. Subjects in the melatonin group received 30 mg of melatonin for 5 days. Another group of 12 healthy volunteers also were recruited for the study. Baseline serum melatonin levels were measured for all groups. For the pharmacokinetic study, sampling intervals were 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.5, 3, 6 and 10 hours after melatonin administration. Samples were analyzed using an HPLC system with fluorescence detection.
Results: Serum melatonin concentrations found to be decreased in all patients. Patients showed a significant increase in levels by the third day but still lower than healthy volunteers. By day 5, the melatonin group reaches melatonin levels, statistically similar to healthy volunteers, but the control group didn't reach normal levels even on the seventh day of study.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that monitoring melatonin levels and supplementing with exogenous melatonin can correct the reduced levels. Further studies focused on melatonin administration in ICH patients can be helpful in evaluating clinical outcomes in these patients.

Authors: Firouzi Zohreh , Mahdizadeh Sajjadieh Saeideh , Mahdizadeh Sajjadieh Saeideh , Mousavi Maryam , Erfanian Zahra , Zarif Maryam
Published: April 2020

Background: Previous studies have indicated that parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been linked to post-myocardial infarction (MI) development. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the relationship between PTH level and heart failure due to post infarction remodeling during the first 72 hours of hospitalization.
Methods: Seventy patients with a diagnosis of acute MI (age ≥18 years, 22 females and 48 males) were enrolled. Patients were admitted to the Imam Raza Educational, Research and Treatment Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran between July 2014 to September 2015. We measured PTH and vitamin D level. Blood samples were taken after 24 hours and 72 hours.
Results: During the first 72 hours, the PTH level significantly increased in patients with Post-MI heart failure. 68% of the subjects had an inappropriate vitamin D level at the time of admission. Mean levels of vitamin D and PTH increased compared with the baselines (95% CI, 0.15 to 10.03, P: 0.044), (95% CI, 6.5 to 24.8, P:0.001) respectively.
Conclusion: Acute elevations of serum PTH levels increased early remodeling heart failure after MI. Serum vitamin D status was independent of high serum PTH level. Based on the current evidence, PTH excess may be a risk factor for heart failure, so early treatment and omitting risk factors are the most effective strategies for the patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Background: Kidney transplant patients usually take a combination of medications after transplantation; hence, medication safety becomes an important issue in order to maintain the new organ working properly. To evaluate the incidence and risk factors associated with potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in hospitalized patients in Nephrology and Post-transplant wards to improve clinical management of pDDIs by a clinical pharmacist.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients in Nephrology and Post-transplant wards were screened for pDDIs, using the interaction screening program Lexi-comp resource®. After evaluating the detected pDDIs for clinical relevance, the intervention was performed through physicians or nurses for type D and X drug interactions. Intervention feedback, implemented recommendations, and any probable adverse drug reactions were documented.
Results: During the study, 399 patients (239 in nephrology and 160 in post-transplant wards) plus 6105 drug orders were evaluated, and a total of 3263 DDIs were identified; of them, 827 (23.5%) were determined to be D and X classifications, and a total of 89.97% of all hospitalized cases had at least 1 pDDIs. Factors that had the greatest influence on pDDI incidence included the number of drugs and the admitted wards. Patients in the post-transplant ward experienced 2.3 times more DDIs than those in the nephrology ward. In total, 78% of class X and D DDIs required intervention, of which 75% were accepted and implemented by the physicians and nurses.
Conclusion: Clinically relevant pDDIs are common in patients in Nephrology and Post-transplant wards, and pharmacists play a critical role in detecting and managing this medical problem in hospitalized patients.

DOES COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OF INGREDIENT-PRODUCT MATTER? A STUDY OF HOST-PRODUCT PURCHASE INTENTION
Authors: Prafitri Juniarti Rosa , Lestari Andjarwati Anik
Published: April 2020

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to analyze how the country of origin of ingredient products may influence host-product purchase intention.
Methodology: This study aimed to analyze how the country of origin of the ingredient product may influence host-product purchase intention. It was an experimental research with between-subject 2 (country of origin from host product; favorable, unfavorable) and within-subject of two product types (high-involvement, low involvement). The participants were undergraduate students who took Management studies. The evaluation of participants was through questionnaires.
Result: The result found that country of origin of ingredient product merely influenced the purchase intention of host products with high-involvement, while low-involvement products and the other variables such as brand probably had higher contributions.
Implications: Companies can consider the country of origin of the suppliers of ingredient products and communicate the country of origin of the ingredient products to consumers.
Novelty: This study provides new insight into product ingredient research, specifically the influence of the country of origin of the product ingredient on the purchase intention of the host product. Moreover, this research also considers product involvement in experiments.

Published: April 2020

As a result of long-term studies of natural forests in the Rostov region, more than 450 geobotanical descriptions of natural forest vegetation were performed, an inventory of forest flora and an ecological and floral classification of vegetation was carried out. Forest communities are described, represented by 6 classes (Carpino-Fagetea, Quercetea pubescentis, Alno glutinosae-Populetea albae, Alnetea glutinosae, Salicetea purpureae and Crataego-Prunetea), 7 unions (Scillo siberica-Quercion roboris, Aceri tatarici-Quercion, Alnion incanae, Alnion glutinosae, Salicion albae, berberidion vulgaris, Prunion Fruticosae) and 18 associations, 9 subassociations and more than 40 variants, 10 un-ranked communities. Plant species listed in the Red Book of the Rostov region (2014) were noted, including 9 species of Federal protection status, 8 species listed in the IUCN Red List (2014), and 11 species listed in the European Red List (2011). 75 rare species of plants were found in the natural forests of the region. After analyzing the geobotanical descriptions, the rare species were divided into 6 groups, relative to the topographical and historical characteristics of the forest. Key areas in forest areas for monitoring rare plant species are proposed and justified. A list of species recommended for inclusion in the new edition of the Red Book of the Rostov region has been compiled.

Published: April 2020

The influence of extreme values of glucose and ethanol on the morphological properties of the yeast of the genus Saccharomyces was studied. The ability of strains S. cerevisiae Y-503, S. cerevisiae DAW-3a, and S. oviformis M-12X to adapt to stress was found. The dependence of the functional state and morphological properties of the studied strains on ploidy was shown. It was established that the cell forms of S. cerevisiae Y-503 and S. oviformis M-12X were diverse, the cells of the haploid strain S. cerevisiae DAW-3a were characterized by a round shape and smaller sizes compared to the polyploid strain Y-503 and diploid M-12X. Adaptation to different concentrations of glucose was accompanied by a change in the shape of the cells Y-503 and DAW-3a, while the sizes of cells were practically un-changed. Under conditions of simultaneous osmotic and ethanol stress in the cells of the studied strains, the presence of granular cytoplasm was revealed, which is associated with the accumulation of reserve nutrients. A change in the shape of the cells, form, surface, profile, color, size of colonies was detected. The study of the properties of the yeast of the genus Saccharomyces in the process of adaptation to extreme conditions may serve as the basis for the selection of strains that are promising for use in food biotechnology.
The Battle of the 33rd Guards Rifle Division on the Mius Front in February 1943
Authors: Medvedev Maxim V.
Published: April 2020

The history of the Great Patriotic War has always remained an urgent topic of scientific research. Particularly important is the appeal to military history 75 years after the Victory, when the memory of it requires additional rethinking due to the appearance of previously unknown sources and the consolidation of the results of the battles in the public mind in connection with the death of their participants and witnesses. The liberation of the territory of the Rostov Region in 1943 also belonged to the list of most significant battles of that period. The western regions of the Rostov Region along the Mius River, which received the German name Mius Front, became the most fierce border of bloody battles on the Don. Among the little-studied pages from the history of the battle of Soviet troops on the Mius Front in February 1943, the participation in it of the 33rd Guards Rifle Division, which suffered the most difficult fate of all the rifle formations of the Southern Front during the Rostov offensive operation in 1943, deserves special research attention.
Estrategias y trucos en la histerectomía laparoscópica compleja
Authors: Saavedra S. Jaime
Published: April 2020

Las estrategias y trucos para realizar la histerectomía laparoscópica dependen de la experiencia del cirujano y de sus ayudantes, lo cual implica una selección del paciente susceptible del procedimiento, tener a disposición el instrumental adecuado, especialmente una buena unidad electroquirúrgica, pinzas bipolares con electrodos de 3 mm de ancho, manipulador uterino que facilite el desplazamiento del útero a diferentes posiciones durante el procedimiento. Desarrollar en forma ordenada los diferentes pasos para la histerectomía laparoscópica: sección y remoción de anexos, disección del espacio vesico-uterino, separación del ligamento ancho, identificación y esqueletización de los vasos uterinos, coagulación y corte de los mismos e identificación del uréter en su trayecto intraligamentario, con lo cual se busca evitar su lesión durante la coagulación y sección de las arterias uterinas en el cérvix. Tener cuidado en la disección del espacio vesico-uterino, sobre todo en aquellas pacientes con antecedentes de cesárea previa, ya que esto aumenta la posibilidad de ruptura del órgano. Terminar por vía vaginal la histerectomía a fin de extraer el útero, previo desprendimiento de sus ligamentos de fijación. El cierre de la cúpula vaginal se puede realizar por abajo o por laparoscopia.

Published: April 2020

Del 7 de diciembre de 1999 al 30 de abril de 2003 realizamos histerectomía total por laparoscopia (tipo IV - E) en 202 pacientes. La edad promedio fue de 46 años, el tiempo quirúrgico promedio de 100 minutos y el peso uterino promedio de 170 gramos. Los tres principales diagnósticos prequirúrgicos fueron miomatosis uterina (51%), lesión escamosa intraepitelial de alto grado (21%) y dolor pélvico crónico (9%). El principal diagnóstico patológico fue miomatosis y/o adenomiosis uterina en el 79,2% de los casos (160 pacientes). Se presentaron complicaciones en 16 pacientes (7,9%); de estas, cinco (2,5%) fueron infecciosas, cuatro (2%) hemorrágicas, tres (1,5%) vesicales y otras complicaciones en cuatro pacientes (2%). No se evidenciaron complicaciones ureterales, vasculares ni intestinales. Se propone la histerectomía total por laparoscopia como primera opción quirúrgica en unidades con suficiente experiencia en cirugía laparoscópica.
Manejo laparoscópico de la endometriosis del septo rectovaginal
Authors: Saavedra Jaime
Published: April 2020

La experiencia demuestra que la obliteración del fondo de saco de Douglas secundaria a endometriosis puede ser tratada en forma efectiva por laparoscopia, mediante disección del fondo del saco con escisión de la endometriosis profunda fibrótica y restauración de la anatomía del fondo de saco. De ello resulta la resolución de la infertilidad, del dolor pélvico y la hipermenorrea en la mayoría de los casos.Entre los beneficios para el paciente se incluye el evitar una cirugía abdominal mayor con la morbilidad relacionada, o la terapia de supresión ovárica que evita la fertilidad durante su administración y además parece no actuar en forma efectiva sobre las lesiones de endometriosis infiltrantes. El manejo laparoscópico puede ser diferido debido a la naturaleza persistente de la enfermedad, que puede dictar más de una aplicación. Por lo anterior, los factores determinantes para lograr el resultado deseado son una combinación entre la experticia quirúrgica, y la tenacidad y persistencia de la paciente.En cuanto a las contraindicaciones del procedimiento, la principal es la inexperiencia de quien lo realiza, ya que esta técnica quirúrgica puede ser más exigente que una histerectomía radical o una cirugía de cáncer de ovario. Quienes recomiendan vaporización de la endometriosis del septum rectovaginal deberían evitar esta operación y hacer una adecuada remisión.

Are functional gastrointestinal disorders a clinically significant comorbid factor for acute respiratory infection in children?
Authors: Meskina E. R. , Khadisova M. K.
Published: April 2020

Rationale: Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) are highly prevalent in children worldwide. Current concept of FGID pathophysiology implies contributions from various mechanisms. Information in the role of acute respiratory infections in the development of FGID in children is lacking.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of FGID in children hospitalized to the department of infectious diseases with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTI) and their association with demographic, medical biological factors and clinical manifestations.

Materials and methods: We performed observational and cross-sectional study with continuous patient sampling. The study included 180 ARTI patients, whose mothers agreed to fill in the proposed questionnaire of 41 items. The diagnosis of FGID during in-hospital stay was made based on clinical data in accordance with the Rome criteria IV (2016) and by standard collection of the information from the parents. The stool characteristics were assessed with the Bristol scale. The rate of recurrent ARTI was assessed by the resistance index of above 0.5. We considered clinical symptoms of ARTI at the admittance, the rates of bacterial complications and the need in antibacterial treatment.

Results: The prevalence of FGID in hospitalized children with ARTI below 4 years of age (n = 134) was 35.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]) 27.0– 43.9); they had higher rates of functional diarrhea (14.9%, 95% CI 9.4–22.1) and constipation (14.2%, 95% CI 8.8–21.3). Among those above 4 years of age (n = 46), FGID were diagnosed in 50% (95% CI 34.9–65.1) of the cases; with most frequent symptoms being abdominal pain (39.1%, 95% CI 25.1–54.6) and irritable bowel syndrome (10.8%). Irrespective of their age, the children with FGID had higher rates of ARTI recurrence (by 34.0%, 95% CI 20.0–48.1; relative risk 1.98, 95% CI 1.47–2.69; odds ratio 4.13, 95% CI 2.18–7.85) and intestinal infections in their past history, compared to those without any gastrointestinal symptoms during the index hospitalization. In children with FGID, ARTI were more frequently complicated by otitis and they had higher requirement in antibiotics. The mothers of the infants and toddlers with FGID had lower educational level (smaller proportion of those with high school education) and were less satisfied with their home and living conditions, whereas their fathers were older and more frequently employed in vehicle operations and less frequently were occupied in communication-related professions.

Conclusion: Acute respiratory infections, especially recurring, may plaу a significant role in the development and maintenance of FGID in children. Further studies are necessary, which may result in useful information for the development of tailored strategies to treatment and prevention.
Use of Advisors and Retirement Plan Performance
Authors: Yao Rui , Wu Weipeng , Mendenhall Cody
Published: April 2020

As defined contribution (DC) plans become more popular than defined benefit (DB) plans, American workers are increasingly responsible for their retirement savings. Because retirement plan participants' portfolio allocation is constrained by the available funds in the plan, the construction of a plan's investment menu has become extremely important. No research has evaluated fund selection in retirement plans or compared plans involving an advisor with self-directed plans. To fill this research gap, this study employs cross-sectional, nationwide data that include 5,570 retirement plans with 100 or more participants in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Results show that in most cases, using advisors is not related to plan performance. Plan sponsors should require advisors to periodically evaluate the performance of plans under their management using objective measures.

Background and Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Patient Assessment of Own Functioning Inventory (PAOFI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Methods

The PAOFI was completed by 182 participants 3 months after verified aSAH. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the underlying factor structure of the PAOFI and reliability and concurrent validity were evaluated for each subscale.

Results

A three-factor structure accounted for 58.9% of the extracted variance. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for extracted factors ranged from .867 to .924. The PAOFI subscales demonstrated concurrent validity with neuropsychological tests measuring similar constructs.

Conclusion

There is evidence of reliability and validity of the PAOFI following aSAH. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.

Este estudo, de caráter exploratório e heurístico, é resultado de uma pesquisa de campo, realizada entre 2016 e 2017 na zona rural de Rolim de Moura – Rondônia. A investigação foi motivada por pesquisas que indicam a contaminação de fontes de água para o consumo humano no meio urbano desse município. As ações foram desenvolvidas com a aplicação de questionário semi-estruturado e análises da qualidade da água para consumo humano e animal (dessetendação). A discussão é pautada com base nos resultados frente à legislação vigente que regula a matéria. Pelo estudo se observa em relação a alguns parâmetros, que a água ofertada para os animais tem melhor qualidade do que a usada pelas pessoas. A carência de informações e a ausência do estado gera a necessidade de serem promovidas ações que levem a uma melhor condição de vida as pessoas no meio rural e a um adequado uso deste recurso natural.

A geração de resíduos sólidos, aliada ao desperdício de alimentos, tem se tornado um problema complexo no setor gastronomico. O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a geração de resíduos sólidos de um restaurante de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, com ênfase na fração de matéria orgânica e desperdício de alimentos. Para tal, foram realizadas caracterizações dos resíduos sólidos do restaurante, determinando a composição gravimétrica dos mesmos e as diferentes frações de matéria orgânica (preparo do alimento, resto ingesta e sobra suja). Essas caracterizações ocorreram em três semanas (uma em maio e duas em outubro de 2018). A massa total de resíduos sólidos gerada durante sete dias de caracterização foi de 635,98 kg, sendo que a maior fração foi de resíduos orgânicos (89,19%). Constatou-se que, da matéria orgânica gerada, a maior parte é proveniente da sobra suja, ou seja, alimentos restantes nas cubas do balcão (73,67%). Constatou-se que o desperdício de alimentos ocorre principalmente devido a oferta ser maior que a demanda, fator constatado pela pesagem das cubas contendo os alimentos após o encerramento das atividades. Conclui-se sobre a importância de desenvolver novos estudos, em diferentes restaurantes e com diferentes condições de oferta dos alimentos, no sentido de identificar variáveis que determinam o desperdício de alimentos.

A sustentabilidade é a forma como os seres humanos devem agir perante a natureza, a fim de preservar seus recursos para as gerações futuras. Na agricultura, deve-se aliar a preservação com a interação social, alcançando benefícios como um todo. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar as práticas de sustentabilidade ambientais realizadas em propriedades rurais. De maneira específica, o estudo visou caracterizar os aspectos socioeconômicos das propriedades e seus proprietários; verificar quais as práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental são realizadas nas propriedades; identificar o nível de importância das práticas de sustentabilidade, e apresentar os motivos que estimulam a realização das práticas. Os resultados do estudo mostraram que 55% das propriedades realizam as práticas de sustentabilidade, 41% não realizam e 4% não se aplicam. As práticas mais utilizadas foram adubação orgânica, melhoramento e sob semeadura de pastagens. Os principais motivos que estimulam a realização das práticas foram a redução de custos, atendimento a legislação e maior produtividade. Por meio do estudo, concluiu-se que é de extrema importância a realização de práticas sustentáveis nas propriedades, tornando-as adequadas a legislação, trazendo benefícios, aumentando seus lucros e viabilizando a atividade.

No contexto de uma sociedade de consumo, sob um modelo economicista, pergunta-se como a gestão pública poderia considerar a sustentabilidade ambiental nas suas aquisições. Neste sentido, o objetivo geral do estudo foi investigar o processo de compra e os critérios das escolhas feitas pelas aquisições em uma instituição de ensino federal, sob o aspecto de sustentabilidade, por meio das práticas institucionais de gestão. A importância do tema permite reflexões sobre as instituições públicas de ensino, a emergência das questões ambientais e o cumprimento da legislação voltada para aquisições sustentáveis. A pesquisa, que possui uma abordagem qualitativa, caracteriza-se como um estudo de caso. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 18 gestores do Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina - Campus de Araranguá. A pesquisa trata, ainda, do processo de tomada de decisão dos gestores sobre compras institucionais, busca identificar a aplicabilidade do Plano de Logística Sustentável do Instituto Federal de Santa Catarina nas compras feitas na instituição. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que, para a adoção de critérios de sustentabilidade na aquisição em uma instituição pública, é necessário repensar o próprio sistema de gestão, marcado pela rotina burocrática, pensamento cíclico, fragmentação do processo e diálogos não-convergentes entre os gestores e demais sujeitos da instituição. Assim, a pesquisa apresenta um cenário apoiado pela racionalidade econômica, que precisa ser transformado para enfrentamento da crise ecológica.

Introduction: Portugal is experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020. All-causes mortality in Portugal increased during March and April 2020 compared to previous years, but this increase is not explained by COVID-19 reported deaths. The aim of this study was to analyze and consider other criteria for estimating excessive all-causes mortality during the early COVID-19pandemic period.Material and Methods: Public data was used to estimate excess mortality by age and region between March 1 and April 22, proposing baselines adjusted for the lockdown period.Results: Despite the inherent uncertainty, it is safe to assume an observed excess mortality of 2400 to 4000 deaths. Excess mortality was associated with older age groups (over age 65).Discussion: The data suggests a ternary explanation for early excess mortality: COVID-19, non-identified COVID-19 and decrease in access to healthcare. The estimates have implications in terms of communication of non-pharmaceutical actions, for research, and to healthcare professionals.Conclusion: The excess mortality occurred between March 1 and April 22 was 3.5- to 5-fold higher than what can be explained by the official COVID-19 deaths.

The research purpose: to study features of clinical process of a coronary heart disease when it combines with a bronchial asthma.

The materials and methods: 180 people were included in the research, 90 of them suffer from both CHD and BA (the first group), and also 90 people have only CHD without BA (the second group). The examination included complaint collection process, studying medical history, medical examination, percussion, auscultation, blood pressure measurement with the Korotkov’s method twice a day (in the morning and in the evening), heart rate measurement, 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring, echodoplercardiography. Besides, standard laboratory biochemical testing, including total cholesterol and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, were made with the enzymatic colorimetric method.

The results. Dyspnoea is the main complaint among 86 patients with both CHD and asthma, humans have (95,5%), moreover, dyspnoea combines with heartbeating in 73,8%, and is accompanied by angina pectoris only in 20%. There is a significant difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure (р=0,001) that becomes higher if CHD combines with asthma. The signs of left ventricular and interventricular septum hypertrophy were discovered in the first group, these signs statistically significantly differ from the ones in the second group. The medium pulmonary arterial pressure is significantly higher in the combined group than in the group with only CHD (р=0,001). It is revealed with 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring that cases of myocardial ischemia are more frequent in the group which consists of patients with CHD. Besides, duration of ischemic depression per day is longer in this group too. It might be that if patients have both CHD and asthma they do not reach an ischemic threshold because of dyspnoea due to a respiratory failure.

The conclusion. According to our findings bronchial asthma occurs among patients with coronary heart disease in 16.6% of cases. It is a distinctive feature of a bronchial asthma associated with coronary heart disease, that a patient often complaints to dyspnea (cardiopulmonary) and palpitation, increase in arterial blood pressure and heart rate, which appropriately indicates the activation of rennin-angiotensin-aldosteron and sympathicoadrenal systems. It requires the inclusion of appropriate drug groups in the treatment of patients.
De la génétique à la génomique

Cet article retrace les principales étapes et la contribution de l’INRA au développement de la génomique, qui révolutionne depuis deux décennies les connaissances sur la structure et le fonctionnement du génome des animaux d’élevage. L’élaboration, dans les années 90, des premières cartes de marqueurs microsatellites a rapidement permis de mettre en évidence de nombreux locus à effets quantitatifs et de localiser les premiers gènes majeurs. En parallèle, les travaux de cytogénétique et de génomique comparative permettaient de tirer parti de l’avancée des connaissances sur le génome de l’homme et de la souris. A la fin des années 90, la construction d’outils de cartographie à haute densité, cartes d’hybrides d’irradiation et banques de grands fragments, a permis l’essor des travaux de cartographie fine et l’identification des premières mutations causales. Le début des années 2000 a été marqué par le développement des outils d’étude systématique de l’expression des gènes, micro-réseaux et puces à ADN, le démarrage du séquençage des premiers génomes d’animaux d’élevage, et l’essor des bases de données génomiques et de la bioinformatique. La connaissance des séquences permet ensuite de détecter in silico leurs variations, en particulier les très nombreuses variations ponctuelles (SNP) et de caractériser finement la structure des génomes des populations animales. La génomique a également renouvelé les méthodes d’amélioration génétique des populations, avec la mise en place de programmes de sélection assistée par marqueurs, de caractérisation et de gestion de la variabilité génétique et le développement d’applications en matière de contrôle de généalogie ou de traçabilité.
