Authors: Patel Smruti K. , Gozal Yair M. , Saleh Mohamed S. , Gibson Justin L. , Karsy Michael , Mandybur George T.
Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

Spinal cord stimulation has been shown to improve pain relief and reduce narcotic analgesic use in cases of complex refractory pain syndromes. However, a subset of patients ultimately undergoes removal of the spinal cord stimulator (SCS) system, presumably because of surgical complications or poor efficacy. This retrospective study addresses the paucity of evidence regarding risk factors and underlying causes of spinal cord stimulation failures that necessitate this explantation.

METHODS

In this retrospective single-center review, 129 patients underwent explantation of SCS hardware during a 9-year period (2005–2013) following initial placement at the authors’ institution or elsewhere. Medical history, including indication of implantation, device characteristics, revision history, and reported reasons for removal of hardware, were reviewed.

RESULTS

The 74 (57%) women and 55 (43%) men were a median of 49 years old (IQR 41–61 years) at explantation; the median time to explantation was 20 months (IQR 7.5–45.5 months). Thoracic or upper lumbar leads were placed in 89.9% of patients primarily for the diagnosis of postsurgical failed–back surgery syndrome (70.5%), chronic regional pain syndrome (14.7%), and neuropathic pain (8.5%). More than half of patients were legally disabled. Initial postoperative reduction in pain was reported in 81% of patients, and 37.8% returned to work. Among 15 patients with acute postsurgical complications (12 infections, 2 hemorrhages, 1 immediate paraplegia), the median time to removal was 2 months. Primary reasons for hardware removal were lack of stimulation efficacy (81%), electrode failure due to migration (14%), and allergic reactions to implanted hardware in 2 patients. The 72 patients who underwent formal psychiatric evaluation before implantation were affected by high rates of major depression (64%), anxiety (34%), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (12%), drug or alcohol abuse (12%), and physical or sexual abuse (22%).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors’ findings provide insight regarding the mechanisms of spinal cord stimulation failure that resulted in total removal of the implanted system. The relationship between spinal cord stimulation failure and certain psychiatric disorders, such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety, is highlighted. Ultimately, this work may shed light on potential avenues to reduce morbidity and improve patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The importance of maintaining mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 85 mm Hg for patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is well documented, because systemic hypotension greatly increases the risk of secondary SCI. Current literature focuses on the ICU setting; however, there is a paucity of data describing the changes in MAP in the operating room (OR). In the present study, the authors investigated the incidence of intraoperative hypotension for patients with acute traumatic SCI as well as any associated factors that may have impacted these findings.

METHODS

This retrospective study was performed at a level 1 trauma center from 2015 to 2016. All patients with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score A–D acute traumatic SCIs from C1 to L1 were identified. Those included underwent spinal instrumentation and/or laminectomy decompression. Associated factors investigated include the following: age, body mass index, trauma mechanism of injury, Injury Severity Score, level of SCI, ASIA score, hospital day of surgery, total OR time, need for laminectomy decompression, use of spinal fixation, surgical positioning, blood loss, use of blood products, length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, and discharge disposition. Intraoperative minute-by-minute MAP recordings were used to determine time spent in various MAP ranges.

RESULTS

Thirty-two patients underwent a total of 33 operations. Relative to the total OR time, patients spent an average of 51.9% of their cumulative time with an MAP < 85 mm Hg. Furthermore, 100% of the study population recorded at least one MAP measurement < 85 mm Hg. These hypotensive episodes lasted a mean of 103 cumulative minutes per operative case. Analysis of associated factors demonstrated that fall mechanisms of injury led to a statistically significant increase in intraoperative hypotension compared to motor vehicle collisions/motorcycle collisions (p = 0.033). There were no significant differences in MAP recordings when analyzed according to all other associated factors studied.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first study reporting the incidence of intraoperative hypotension for patients with acute traumatic SCIs, and the results demonstrated higher proportions of relative hypotension than previously reported in the ICU setting. Furthermore, the authors identified that every patient experienced at least one MAP below the target value, which was much greater than the initial hypothesis of 50%. Given the findings of this study, adherence to the MAP protocol intraoperatively needs to be improved to minimize the risk of secondary SCI and associated deleterious neurological outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

Leiomyogenic tumor of the spine is rare with limited published information. Here, the authors report the clinical features and long-term surgical outcomes and investigate the prognostic factors affecting disease-free survival (DFS).

METHODS

Twelve patients presented to the authors’ institution for surgical treatment from January 2005 to December 2018. The clinical characteristics and outcomes were retrospectively reviewed, and the DFS rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank test was used to identify the potential prognostic factors, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant.

RESULTS

The mean patient age was 49.7 ± 12.9 years (range 22–73 years). Four patients underwent marginal en bloc resection, and 8 patients underwent conventional piecemeal resection. Pathological diagnosis revealed leiomyosarcoma in 9 patients and leiomyoma in 3 patients. Three patients had tumor recurrence at a mean follow-up of 10.4 months (range 7.0–15.0 months), while 4 developed metastases at an average of 13.8 months (range 5.5–21.3 months) postoperatively. During the mean follow-up of 33.7 months (range 9.6–78.5 months), the estimated 1- and 5-year DFS rates were 66.7% and 38.2%, respectively. Albumin loss > 20 g/L after surgery, Ki-67 positivity > 10%, and piecemeal resection were correlated with worse DFS.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgical management of spinal leiomyogenic tumors is challenging due to the high rate of recurrence and metastases. En bloc resection should be performed in eligible patients. Albumin loss > 20 g/L and the Ki-67 index may be independent factors affecting prognosis.

Published: October 2019

Introduction: Sulfolane (SL), having an edge of low melting point over other sulfones, has been adopted as an electrolyte co-solvent for lithium-ion battery (LIB), as it exhibits high stability against oxidation and combustion while not causing much side effects to the battery electrochemistry. It is therefore expected that SL may serve as a safety-enhancing agent in sodium-ion battery (SIB). To evaluate the effect of SL content on the behavior of common carbonate-based sodium electrolytes as well as the compatibility of SL-based electrolytes with NaNi1=3Mn1=3Co1=3O2 (NaNMC) cathode, mixtures of 0, 10, 20, 30 or 50% vol. SL and each of the following, EC:PC 1:1 vol. (EP11), EC:DMC 1:1 vol. (ED11), EC:PC:DMC 1:1:3 vol. (EPD113) and EC:PC:DMC 3:1:1 vol. (EPD311), with or without 1M NaClO4, were studied with regard to both inherent properties and performance in NaNMC half-cells.

Methods: Solvent flammability was evaluated via the self-extinguishing time (SET) and ignition time indexes. Conductivity and viscosity were respectively measured by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Ostwald method. Electrochemical techniques, i.e. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Galvanostatic Cycling with Potential Limitation (GCPL), were used to test the sodium-ion battery performance.

Results: A moderate amount of SL (typically below 30% vol.) proved to enhance both electrolyte non-flammability and self-extinguishing behavior, while maintaining an acceptable compromising rate in viscosity and conductivity. Amongst 30%-SL electrolytes, EPD311-based ones allow the best Na+ diffusion when combined with NaNMC cathode in sodium half-cell configuration. The corresponding system gives satisfactory performance: initial specific capacity of 97 mAh.g-1, 92% capacity retention, and above 90% reversibility after 30 cycles at C/10 rate.

Conclusion: SL can be used as a stabilizing co-solvent for SIB, but its content should be limited to below 30% vol. to ensure its effectiveness.

Tomando em consideração a visão da educação e de conscientização a partir dos pensamentos e conceitos de Paulo Freire, esse artigo focaliza a possibilidade de se ver na educação um instrumento que permita ao indivíduo tornar-se cônscio das graves degradações que ele tem promovido ao meio ambiente. Para tanto, o trabalho aqui apresentado, usa como pilares possíveis para alcançar tal objetivo, a visão constitucional do Brasil acerca não só do direito à educação, mas sobretudo, do direito ambiental, e as inovações trazidas especialmente pela Constituição de 1988, que permitiu uma nova leitura sobre o tema em todo o mundo, revolucionando o constitucionalismo de várias partes do planeta, reconhecido como Constituição Verde como conceitua Édis Milaré (2009), inspirando constitucionalistas e Instituições a aprofundarem estudos e pesquisas no que tange ao meio ambiente. Este estudo utilizou o método de comparação e bibliográfico para evidenciar a evolução do tema e comprovar a hipótese de que a educação e a conscientização são veículo para e a realização da proteção ambiental.

Desde principios del siglo XXI, surgió un frente de modernización del sector público impulsado por las Tic. La transformación de la Administración Pública causada especialmente por la inclusión de las Tic ha desencadenado una serie de aspectos positivos y negativos para los ciudadanos; entre las reformas más innovadoras que ha sufrido el ambiente gubernamental se encuentra su inmersión en los procesos electrónicos a través de Internet, dando como resultado la aparición del gobierno electrónico (e-government). Con el apoyo de las Tic se busca reformar algunos de los procesos de la gestión pública y vincular más activamente a los ciudadanos con la administración. Se pretende que internet se convierta en una herramienta para disminuir la carga burocrática en los trámites, promover la participación ciudadana, fortalecer la confianza en el Estado y viabilizar e incrementar la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas. La transparencia, la rendición de cuentas y el gobierno electrónico, se incorporan en las expectativas sociales y en las exigencias de los ciudadanos a los gestores públicos. La incursión del gobierno electrónico ha traído la modificación de modelos y políticas de gobierno por los Estados, aspecto que es razonable considerando que muchas de las actividades que los ciudadanos deberían realizar con la Administración Pública se efectúan de forma electrónica desde finales del siglo XX, lo cual modifica la estructura del pensamiento y exigencia del pueblo hacia sus gobernantes, suceso que ha avanzado en el siglo XXI con las ciudades inteligentes en los países que han avanzado en su fomento.

Kebutuhan vital yang penting agar proses kehidupan berlangsung baik untuk setiap makhluk hidup adalah kebutuhan tidur. Akan tetapi hal tersebut akan mengalami pergeseran saat memasuki lansia. Salah satu faktor penyebab perubahan tidur pada lansia yaitu perubahan pada lobus frontal lansia. Lama tidur normal pada lansia biasanya sekitar 7-8 jam per hari, dan dikatakan mengalami penurunan kualitas tidur apabila  tidur lansia mengalami penurunan waktu tidur sekitar 5-6 jam. Hasil surveyyang di lakukan di kelompok lansia yang tinggal di RW 06 Kelurahan Darmo Kecamatan Wonokromo didapatkan 8 dari 10 lansia mengalami penurunan kualitas tidur dengan skor PSQI <5, karena sebanyak 75% lansia tersebut jarang melakukan olahraga, hal tersebut juga disebabkan karena kader lansia dan lansia di RW 06 tidak mempunyai pengetahuan yang cukup mengenai olah raga yang dapat digunakan untuk memperbaiki kualitas tidur lansia. Kader lansia juga tidak memiliki panduan pelaksanaan senam serta kurangnya ketrampilan dalam melakukan senam yoga. Puskesmas tidak pernah memberikan pembelajaran khusus bagi kader dan lansia untuk menambah referensi senam bagi lansia. Fasilitas untuk melakukan aktivitas olahraga yang lain juga belum tersedia. Tim pelaksana pengabdian masyarakat telah melaksanakan pendidikan kesehatan, maupun pelatihan senam yoga bagi kader lansia. Untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut pendidikan kesehatan yang sudah diberikan meliputi : rematik, kolesterol, vertigo, gangguan pendengaran, nutrisi bagi lansia. Kegiatan ini menghasilkan pengetahuan lansia mengenai senam yoga meningkat yaitu sebanyak 25% lansia mempunyai pengetahuan cukup dan 75% mempunyai pengetahuan baik. Sedangkan setelah dilakukan senam yoga secara rutin sebanyak 80% lansia mempunyai kualitas tidur baik dan 25% lansia mempunyai kualitas tidur cukup.

Relevance. Nowadays, Ukraine, where armed conflict takes place, has the highest risk of chemical hazard among countries of European region that induces the need for completing medical service and specialforces of Ukrainian Armed Forces with modern chemical-warfare reconnaissance means.

Objective: analysis of modern methods for identification of chemical warfare agents and chemical-warfare reconnaissance means that are assured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in terms of correspondence with current EU and NATO standards.

Materials and methods. Analysis of domestic and foreign sources of scientific information in terms of use of chemical warfare agents and chemical weapon in modern warfare and armed conflicts was performed. Traditional methods and means for identification of chemical warfare agents were reviewed. The following methods of scientific study were applied: analytical, historical, bibliographic, systemic and informational approach.

Results and discussion. Authors have performed the analysis of technical characteristics of chemical-warfare reconnaissance means and controls used in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and have determined promising trends in retooling of outmoded devices. It has been emphasized that historical problem for Ukraine is the lack of own industrial production basis for technical modernization and development of novel devices for chemical-warfare reconnaissance, chemical analysis and appropriate consumables (indicator kits, indicator tubes, chemical reagents, etc.). Proposals are provided in terms of improvement of the abilities of the medical service for the assurance of medical protection of military servants under conditions of terrorist threats and warfightings, when an enemy uses mass destruction weapons. Authors underline that current technical chemical-warfare reconnaissance and chemical control means that are in the operational service of medical service and Special Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces require refitting and modernization via import phase-out of the current Soviet (Russian) pieces with analogues that are produced and are in the operational service of NATO countries. The specified way will significantly reduce time to retool the military forces and will not require special retraining of professionals.

Conclusion. Modern tasks of chemical-warfare reconnaissance require principally new approach to the development of the methods and technologies for creation of the technical means basis in Ukraine that would provide the required sensitivity, efficiency and specificity in terms of identification of chemical warfare agents and chemical weapons.

Key words: military toxicology, chemical weapon, identification of chemical warfare agents.

A Desalambrar los caminos públicos para luchar contra la despoblación
Authors: Trujillo Carmona Manuel
Published: October 2019

Hay unos bienes públicos que son los grandes olvidados del territorio rural. Los caminos y vías pecuarias que fueron utilizados desde época ancestral para el paso de personas, caballerías y ganado, y que fueron después sustituidos en gran medida por las carreteras y carriles destinados al tránsito de vehículos.

Desde hace unos años la demanda de espacios para el senderismo, ciclismo o la contemplación de la fauna ha hecho que haya un resurgir del interés por estos viejos caminos. Sin embargo, ha ocurrido un hecho que impide este aprovechamiento, al igual que el mantenimiento de los antiguos usos como el movimiento de ganado: miles de kilómetros de estos caminos son usurpados por fincas particulares, en especial por aquellas dedicadas a la caza.

Las administraciones, ayuntamientos y comunidades autónomas, son cómplices por omisión de este desfalco, y solo la voz de los ciudadanos se alza para la lucha contra esta injusticia.

Se hace necesaria una pronta actuación de las administraciones para inventariar, recuperar y proteger estos caminos que muy a menudo son de gran interés desde el punto de vista histórico y patrimonial e imprescindibles para el desarrollo social y turístico de las zonas rurales de España, pudiendo así colaborar en la mitigación de la despoblación
Nalda (La Rioja) apuesta por otra forma de turismo con la “comunidad cuidadora” como eje vertebrador

En Nalda se lleva a cabo un modelo de desarrollo rural y lucha contra la despoblación desde el concepto de comunidad cuidadora, que es el resultado de poner a las personas y el medio ambiente, y sus necesidades, en el centro, procurando el cuidado constante y recíproco. Desde hace más de veinte años, las asociaciones PANAL y El Colletero, cooperando en red, adoptan en sus formas y procesos los valores rurales de vecindad, acompañamiento y cuidado; sus prácticas están unidas a la economía solidaria y al trabajo con toda la población. La actividad de PANAL se traduce en una propuesta de visitas basada en el turismo consciente, responsable y solidario.
Proyecto participativo para la regeneración urbana del entorno del castillo de Martos
Authors: Toro Martínez María
Published: October 2019

El deseo del municipio de Martos de regenerar el entorno del castillo surge en 2013 con su adhesión al programa La Ciudad Amable, una iniciativa de la Consejería de Fomento y Vivienda de la Junta de Andalucía cuyo objetivo era (y es) abrir un nuevo camino en las políticas de intervención en el espacio público por parte de las administraciones para que éste sea asumido como lugar de la colectividad mediante su activación social, cultural y económica.

Con esta premisa se inició la redacción del proyecto de Martos, tanto su proyecto participativo como el de ejecución: no sólo se deseaba mejorar la dimensión física (arquitectónica y urbanística), sino que se pretendía incidir en otras dimensiones como la social, medioambiental, económica, etc, para mejorar la calidad de vida de sus habitantes y apostar por un turismo amable y sostenible.
Movimiento ciudadano ¡Teruel Existe!: “quiero vivir… precisamente aquí”
Authors: Pérez García-Oliver Lucía Pilar
Published: October 2019

Aunque históricamente la provincia turolense ha exportado mano de obra a la franja mediterránea, entre 1951 y 1975 el flujo migratorio fue tan brutal que la herida demográfica continúa goteando. En los últimos 68 años, la población de sus 14.804 km2 ha pasado de 236.002 (1950) a 134.572 habitantes (2018) y sigue descendiendo 100 personas cada mes, previendo 118.000 en 2030 con un 75% mayores de 60 años.

En noviembre de 1999 surge un movimiento ciudadano bajo el nombre de ¡Teruel Existe!, con el compromiso de plantear sus propuestas a la ciudadanía en asambleas públicas, mantener su independencia política y económica a fin de reivindicar democráticamente y exigir sin ataduras a las instituciones mejoras urgentes en cinco áreas fundamentales: sanidad, infraestructuras ferroviarias y carreteras, equipamientos educativos y universitarios, medidas contra la despoblación y fondos europeos.
No tengo tren
Authors: Morales Padilla Luis
Published: October 2019

Los fenómenos de poblamiento territorial guardan relación directa con la expectativa de oportunidades de sus habitantes y con sus necesidades de servicios públicos. Desde sus inicios el despliegue del ferrocarril en España ha venido incidiendo sobre ambos aspectos, actuando las obras públicas como foco de atracción de empleo, y los transportes como motor de desarrollo industrial, comercial y cultural, mientras por otro lado la población se ha dotado de una infraestructura de servicios básicos antes inexistentes. Este despliegue urdió una trama de obras de ingeniería, edificaciones, maquinaria, modos de vida y paisajes transformados que después han asistido de cerca a las sucesivas oleadas de despoblación en la llamada “España vacía”. En aquellos elementos todavía activos sorprende la reiteración de los procesos de reducción de servicios, deterioro de sus instalaciones históricas, y posterior propuesta de recuperación para uso turístico como forma de revitalizar las economías locales.

 A lo largo de los últimos años el autor y su cámara fotográfica han recorrido distintas líneas ferroviarias, unas abandonadas y otras en declive, constatando su decadencia precisamente cuando los retos del cambio climático avivan el debate sobre la sostenibilidad de los modelos poblacionales y la vertebración de sus comunicaciones terrestres, entre las que el ferrocarril convencional sirve a la población rural mejorando las marcas de eficiencia energética y de emisiones de CO2 tanto respecto del ferrocarril de alta velocidad como del transporte por carretera.
La Escuela de Pastores de Picos de Europa: revitalizando la cultura de pastoreo quesero
Authors: Prieto Serrano David
Published: October 2019

La Escuela de Pastores de Picos de Europa surge en el año 2004 recogiendo en su fundamentación la sensibilidad expresada por los pastores de los concejos asturianos situados en el área de influencia del Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa. Inicialmente, se inscribe como una acción dentro del Plan Pastores XXI (2002-2007), más tarde incorporada en el Proyecto PASTOR (2004-2008), y finalmente se integra en la plataforma de producción cultural Campo Adentro.  El proyecto tiene su eje central en el Curso de iniciación al pastoreo en el puerto, desarrollado en dos módulos, en primer lugar —en el mes de mayo— un programa introductorio de formación teórica (la vida en el puerto, ecología de montaña, climatología, orientación, política agraria, el Parque Nacional, manejo de rebaños, fisiología animal, elaboración de quesos...). En segundo lugar, un módulo práctico, entre los meses de junio y septiembre, en el que se establece un aprendizaje situado mediante la convivencia y la hibridación de saberes teóricos desde la agroecología con los conocimientos y prácticas tradicionales, integrándose en las actividades y ritmos cotidianos de los pastores veteranos en activo. Esta experiencia nos permite reflexionar sobre el papel de la producción cultural en la revitalización y fomento de nuevos modelos de pastores en el siglo XXI, su papel en la custodia del paisaje o la construcción de nuevos saberes rurales en diálogo con el conocimiento tradicional.
Una experiencia docente de reflexión y experimentación sobre dos pueblos abandonados (Granadilla, Cáceres y Colonia de Santa Eulalia, Alicante)
Authors: González García María , Del Espino Hidalgo Blanca
Published: October 2019

Durante el curso 2016/2017, el equipo docente del grupo G06.7[1] de la materia Proyecto Fin de Grado (PFG), que suponía el cierre del Grado en Arquitectura (Plan 2010) de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Sevilla, propuso a los estudiantes un proyecto basado en la intervención sobre el patrimonio urbano, arquitectónico y paisajístico de dos pueblos españoles abandonados: Granadilla (Cáceres) y La Colonia de Santa Eulalia (Alicante). Los resultados obtenidos aportaron reflexiones, análisis y un amplio abanico de mecanismos y líneas propositivas sobre la reutilización y apropiación social de un patrimonio forzadamente obsoleto, reinterpretándolo en claves contemporáneas desde diversas escalas de intervención.
