Published: July 2019

The potential emergence of deadly pandemic influenza viruses is unpredictable and most have emerged with no forewarning. The distinct epidemiological and pathological patterns of the Spanish (H1N1), pandemic-2009 (H1N1), and avian influenza (H5N1), known as bird flu, viruses may allow us to develop a ‘template’ for possible emergence of devastating pandemic strains. Here, we provide a detailed molecular dissection of the structural and nonstructural proteins of this triad of viruses. GenBank data for three representative strains were analyzed to determine the polymorphic amino acids, genetic distances, and isoelectric points, hydrophobicity plot, and protein modeling of various proteins. We propose that the most devastating pandemic strains may have full-length PB1-F2 protein with unique residues, highly cleavable HA, and a basic NS1. Any newly emerging strain should be compared with these three strains, so that resources can be directed appropriately.
Towards a framework for online information security applications development: A socio-technical approach
Authors: Mujinga Mathias , Eloff Mariki M , Kroeze Jan H
Published: July 2019

The paper presents a validated socio-technical information security (STInfoSec) framework for the development of online information security (InfoSec) applications. The framework addresses both social and technical aspects of InfoSec design. The preliminary framework was developed using a mixed methods research design that collected data from 540 surveys by online banking users and six interviews with online banking personnel. The preliminary framework was presented in another publication and it is beyond the scope of this paper. The scope of this paper is limited to the validation findings of the evaluation process that involves seven evaluators. In the socio-technical context, the STInfoSec framework facilitates acceptance and usability of online applications based on online banking as a case study. The authors argue that usability of online InfoSec applications such as online banking significantly affects the adoption and continued use of such applications. As such, the paper investigates design principles for usable security and proposes a validated STInfoSec framework that consists of 12 usable security design principles. The design principles have been validated through heuristic evaluation by seven field experts for inclusion in the final STInfoSec framework. The development of InfoSec applications can be improved by applying these design principles.
Parsing and analysis of a Xilinx FPGA bitstream for generating new hardware by direct bit manipulation in real-time
Authors: Le Roux Rikus , Van Schoor George , Van Vuuren Pieter
Published: July 2019

Despite the many advantages run-time reconfiguration of FPGAs brings to the table, its usage is mostly limited to quasi-static applications. This is either due to the throughput of the reconfiguration process, or the time required to create new hardware. In order to optimise the former, the literature proposes a block RAM (BRAM)-based architecture in which a new configuration is stored in localised memory and reconfiguration is facilitated by a controller implemented in the FPGA fabric. The limitation of this architecture is that only a subset of configurations can be stored. When new hardware is required, the slow synthesis process (or a part thereof) has to be repeated for each new configuration. Various third-party tools aim to mitigate this overhead, but since the bitstream is shrouded in obscurity, all rely on a layer of abstraction that make them unusable in real-time. To address this issue, this paper presents a novel method to parse and analyse a Xilinx® FPGA bitstream to extract certain characteristics. It is shown how these characteristics could be used to design and implement a bitstream specialiser, capable of taking a bitstream and modifying the configuration bits of lookup tables in real-time.
Computing Research in South Africa: A Scientometric Investigation
Authors: Parry Douglas Anderson
Published: July 2019

Limited attention has been afforded to mapping the ‘landscape’ of South African computing research. Prior studies have considered singular sub-disciplines, publications, or publication types. Given the growing prominence of computing disciplines, it is necessary to identify the patterns of research production, publication, collaboration, and impact of South African computing research. This study presents a scientometric investigation in this regard. Through the analysis of data accessed from the Scopus citation enhanced bibliographic database, the investigation presents findings in relation to annual research production, institutional differences in outputs, topics, collaboration, and citation impact. While characterised by institutional differences, over the period considered, South African computing research output has increased at a greater rate than that of South African research at large. Additionally, despite accounting for a greater proportion of all outputs, conference papers account for a smaller proportion of citations relative to journal articles or book chapters. Corresponding to previous investigations, there exists a tendency towards applied computing topics in contrast to more theoretical topics. Finally, the collaboration network was shown to be particularly de-centralised with many researchers clustered around institutions. The findings are of interest to all researchers conducting computing or related research in South Africa.
Increased Circulating miR-10a Levels Associated with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Boroumand Niloofar , Eshaghiyan Amir , Behshood Parisa , Nateghi Behnaz , Emadi Farzaneh
Published: July 2019

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the central nervous system. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs 19–24 nucleotides long, which are differentially expressed in different tissues. The role of miRNAs in MS remains unclear.

Aim: We assessed miR-10a transcript levels in MS patients during recurrence and two months after relapse.

Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, we used real-time PCR to examine miR-10a expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 60 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), 30 during recurrence and 30 two months after relapse, and 30 healthy subjects who were referred to the MS Clinic of Kashani Hospital, Isfahan Province. In silico analysis was also performed on the validated miR- 10a targets using miRTarBase.

Results: miR-10a expression was higher in RRMS patients during recurrence and two months after relapse (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively) than in the healthy subjects. Furthermore, in silico molecular signaling enrichment analysis identified 12 mRNAs as validated miR-10a targets.

Conclusion: The expression of miR-10a was elevated in patients with RRMS compared to healthy subjects, suggesting that miR-10a could be a potential biomarker for RRMS diagnosis.
Society and Economy on the Island of Rhodes in Western Travel Journals in the 19th Century
Authors: ÖZGÜN Cihan
Published: July 2019

In 1522 Island of Rhodes, entered under the
sovereignty of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. After this date, the Turkish
empery began on the island about 400 years till 1912 the Italy occupied the
island. During this period, a rich and deeply rooted Turkish culture was
emerged in the island materially and spiritually. Especially compared to the
previous centuries, in the 19th century, many Western travellers visited the
island of Rhodes, which was under Turkish rule; they made observations and make
some points. Western travellers saw that closely on this Turkish ruled Rhodes
Island, the Greek, the Jewish and the Turkish people living together in a
tolerance and peace. They wrote many details about the island's social
structure, economic and cultural life. It is possible to reach the impressions
about the texture of the society and daily life of the island of Rhodes from
their travel notes, however, more importantly, from these works of the Western
travellers, the prejudices of the Eastern image of the Turkish sovereignty on
the island of Rhodes are often found to be in vain. In this study, Western
travellers of mainly British origin who came to the 19th century to the island
of Rhodes, their impressions of the daily life such as social structure,
population, religion, religious and cultural structures, customs and
traditions, clothes and cleanliness on the island were analyzed. In addition,
many observations of Western travellers such as agriculture, commerce, service
sector, security, tax, ship building activities and livelihoods of the island
were also evaluated.

Jogos Zero-Player ou: do que falamos quando falamos de jogadores
Authors: Björk Staffan , Juul Jesper
Published: July 2019

Os jogos precisam de pessoas? Em caso afirmativo, o que faz as pessoas importantes para os jogos? Pode parecer auto-evidente que jogos são artefatos projetados para ser usado pelos jogadores, mas neste artigo vamos discutir a ideia paradoxal de jogos zero-player. Não desejamos argumentar contra o estudo de jogadores, mas acreditamos que muitas concepções comuns sobre jogadores são demasiadamente vagas para serem úteis. Baseado na análise de jogos zero-jogador, nós fornecemos cinco subcomponentes para ajudar na compreensão do conceito de jogador. Expressas como perguntas, elas são: Este é um jogador humano? O jogador tem agência? O jogador joga ao longo do tempo? O jogador parece ter intencionalidade? O jogador exibe preferências estéticas?

Authors: Hogemann Edna Raquel , de Souza Thiago S. P. , Martinez Tiago
Published: July 2019

Propõe-se um estudo acerca do atual panorama do instituto do refúgio no Brasil, bem como as políticas públicas adotadas pelo país na proteção e integração dos refugiados no território brasileiro. Mas, em específico, os autores analisam a situação dos refugiados LGBTI, uma minoria vulnerável, estereotipada e invisível aos olhos da razão de muitos. Pela utilização do método dialético qualitativo, apresenta-se o instituto do refúgio à luz da legislação brasileira, as políticas públicas, os desafios, perspectivas e o estratégico apoio de organizações não governamentais na efetivação da proteção aos indivíduos solicitantes de refúgio ou refugiados, enfocando essa parcela cuja vulnerabilidade os torna mais suscetíveis de sofrimento, discriminação e violência.

Acciones Penales en Defensa del Derecho de la Obtención Vegetal
Authors: Gallego Jose María Asencio
Published: July 2019

El aumento de la población mundial y el desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología ha provocado un considerable crecimiento de la industria dedicada a la creación y desarrollo de las variedades vegetales. Como consecuencia de ello, y tras la adopción del Convenio Internacional para la Protección de las Obtenciones Vegetales el 2 de diciembre de 1961 en París, en los últimos años, la mayoría de los países han ido incorporando a sus legislaciones nacionales acciones en defensa del derecho del titular de una obtención vegetal, también denominado obtentor. En España, el obtentor, en caso de infracción de su derecho, puede acudir a la vía civil o a la penal, esta última reservada para las infracciones más graves. El objeto de este estudio es precisamente el análisis del delito contra el derecho del titular de un título de obtención vegetal en su modalidad de reproducción o multiplicación de una variedad vegetal protegida.
Outsiders e Desvio no Trânsito: por uma Política Pública Criminal?
Authors: Fontana Vanessa
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho é o de apresentar e problematizar o comportamento dos brasileiros no trânsito abordando a etiologia (causas) dos crimes de trânsito no Brasil e a resposta do Congresso Nacional a esses crimes. Para apreensão dessa realidade é importante observar e analisar os crimes em abstrato e os casos concretos, e a partir desse quadro, compreender a reação do legislador brasileiro ao enorme número de mortos no trânsito, em torno, de 60 mil mortos por ano, e, aproximadamente, 400 mil sequelados definitivamente. O Congresso Nacional tem oferecido respostas criminalizadoras para essas condutas, logo cabe pesquisá-las e explicar esses mecanismos. A questão em evidência é: compreender o funcionamento das políticas públicas criminais em relação à punição das infrações e dos crimes cometidos nas vias públicas do Brasil e as transformações do CTB ao longo de seus 21 anos de existência. Um dos problemas que envolvem essa pesquisa consiste em compreender o que o legislativo e o judiciário, por meio de suas decisões têm oferecido como resposta para os dados que temos no trânsito brasileiro. A partir desse recorte epistemológico apresentaremos um retrato de como funciona a política criminal para o trânsito, explicando seus mecanismos. Essa abordagem será desenvolvida a partir de Howard Becker (2008), David Garland (2014) e Roberto Damatta (2010). A metodologia adotada foi a de pesquisa bibliográfica, observação participante acompanhando o tribunal do júri ocorrido entre os dias 26 e 27 de fevereiro de 2018, dados da câmara federal sobre as mudanças na legislação de trânsito e a repercussão na imprensa nacional, bem como, entrevistas estruturadas com os envolvidos no caso Yared e na legislação que altera o Código de Trânsito. O intuito a partir dessa abordagem é saber se pode-se falar do “desvio no trânsito” como uma cultura da infração tanto do ponto de vista de uma relação de reciprocidade entre a sociedade e o legislador, que busca criminalizar essas condutas com penas mais duras, entendendo que essas ações são uma resposta eficiente como política criminal assertiva para frear o número de mortos e sequelados no trânsito.

Palavras-chave: Política Criminal. Epidemia no Trânsito. Cultura de Infração.
Direito da Integração-Direito Interno: uma Interpretação Teleológica/Axiológica Rumo ao Direito Comunitário no Mercosul
Authors: Preti Ricardo Delgado
Published: July 2019

O presente estudo tem como objetivo demonstrar os avanços do direito comunitário no Mercosul e apresentar um novo método de solução das antinomias do direito interno e internacional, baseado no diálogo de complementariedade entre as normas internas dos países membros do bloco regional Mercosul. Como parte de uma interpretação teleológica do direito, frente ao culturalismo jurídico e o novo fenômeno do internacionalismo que vivemos, buscamos também estudar como esta cooperação é possível. A dissertação do presente estudo está estruturada sobre uma hipótese normativa (numa visão do culturalismo jurídico), explicativa e interpretativa (teleológica e axiológica) dos tratados internacionais, com suporte nos ensinamentos dos doutrinadores Rodolfo Luis Vigo, Valerio Mazzuoli de Oliveira, Hildebrando Accioly, dentre outros, os quais defendem o status supraconstitucional dos tratados internacionais, especialmente os voltados para defesa da personalidade da pessoa, não sendo esta uma novidade no mundo da opinio doctorum, além da análise de casos julgados pela Corte Europeia e das Supremas Cortes dos países quem compõe o Mercosul. Destaca-se que a comunidade europeia é o bloco regional que teve melhor êxito neste aspecto de complementariedade entre normas internacionais com as normas internas. O Mercosul também passa a conviver com esta nova onda do direito, porém, pouco difundida ou estudada no mundo acadêmico. É necessário garantir o cumprimento dos tratados de integração frente ao dever de respeito ao princípio da boa-fé dos compromissos firmados no plano internacional, como exige a Convenção de Viena. O processo de cooperação da União Europeia deve-se, em larga medida, não só à existência do controle jurisdicional supranacional exercido pelo Tribunal de Justiça como também à compreensão dos tribunais internos à medida que passaram a compreender que as normas internas e internacionais devem dialogar. Ao final deste estudo, desmistificaremos que a integração necessariamente impõe uma reforma constitucional, quando a mutação constitucional já permite alcançá-lo, cabendo ao poder judiciário exercer valioso instrumento na construção do direito. Compreendemos, ainda, que as normas derivadas do Mercosul têm sua aplicabilidade, eficácia e plena vigência por aplicação teleológica das constituições de seus Estados-membros.
Max Weber y su Crítica al Capitalismo Racionalizado – la Pleonexía como un Mal del Capitalismo Empresarial Moderno
Authors: Ugarte Jesús Víctor Alfredo C.
Published: July 2019

El capitalismo moderno no es producto de una generación espontánea ni de una situación accidental. El capitalismo moderno es el resultado de todo un proceso histórico y en donde, sobre todo en la actualidad, el cálculo premeditado ha cobrado especial relevancia al igual que el ansia de ganar más y más, demasiadas veces, a costa de sacrificar derechos, respetos y consideraciones hacia los demás y hacia todo lo demás. El apetito insaciable por las cosas materiales y por la ganancia es, precisamente, lo que platónicamente se identifica como la pleonexía. En este trabajo desvelo esta situación desde las reflexiones de Max Weber, quien ya nos advertía, en sus obras, lo que venía implicando, para su época, el desarrollo del capitalismo, y que hoy resulta, su análisis, más certero y aplicable a nuestra realidad.
Régimen de Inversiones (Intra)Regionales en la Alianza del Pacífico y en el Mercosur, una Aproximación Comparativa
Authors: Zúñiga Jaime Gallegos , Lazo Rodrigo Polanco
Published: July 2019

El presente informe busca exponer los distintos criterios con los cuales se ha abordado la inversión extranjera en América Latina mediante el análisis los instrumentos intrarregionales que pretenden guiar este tipo de flujos de capitales, el capítulo de inversiones del Protocolo de Cartagena, de 2014, y el Protocolo de Buenos Aires, de 2017, en la Alianza del Pacífico y en el Mercosur, respectivamente.

Los referidos textos presentan diferencias significativas que, obedecen al distinto tratamiento que se le da a la inversión foránea, configurándose un marco que podemos denominar como “tradicional” al interior de los países de la Alianza del Pacífico, y un escenario regulatorio que mantiene muchas mayores prerrogativas a los Estados receptores, en el caso del Mercosur, especialmente por fuerte el influjo de Brasil, y su particular modelo de tratamiento del capital exógeno.

El entender las lógicas que sostienen estos dos sistemas resulta relevante, habida cuenta de que paulatinamente han ido creciendo las inversiones dentro del plano regional, lo que puede hacer avizorar que, tarde o temprano, se generarán conflictos, como también por las iniciativas destinadas a la convergencia de estos dos esquemas de integración dentro del continente, que se desarrollan, a su vez, dentro de un período de cuestionamiento y reformulación global del Derecho internacional de las inversiones extranjeras.

The Political Economy of Coalition in Indonesia
Authors: Sanjaya Muhammad Ryan
Published: July 2019

Politics as an art of bargaining has gain prominent momentum following the victory of the president-elect Joko Widodo in Indonesia in 2014. This paper estimates the value of political parties under uncertainties over two possible coalitions: the Great Indonesia Coalition (Koalisi Indonesia Hebat, KIH) that supports Joko Widodo, and the Red & White Coalition (Koalisi Merah Putih, KMP) that supports Prabowo Subianto, the president candidate from the Gerindra Party. The estimation shows that the Golkar, the second largest earner of seats in the parliament, is more valuable for KMP, making them expensive to be maintained within this coalition. It suggests that the best choice for Golkar is to jump to KIH, unless the KMP provides substantial payoff to lure this party. Nonetheless, the pure strategy Nash equilibrium in a non-cooperative game of political bargaining shows that even though a party has small fair values, but it still has decisive impact in the bargaining table of a coalition.
Village Government Corruption in-Post Decentralization: Democracy, Ethnic Diversity and Budget Authority
Authors: Batubara Rumayya
Published: July 2019

The village (desa) is the lowest level of government administration in Indonesia. In the pre-decentralization, although by law a village should held a regular election to select their leader, in practice the election is highly influenced and intervened by higher level of government. The new decentralization law has provided rural village governance with free election of village head and autonomy to design and decide budget and regulation without approval from the district government. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of corruption in village government of Indonesia in the more decentralised system of government introduced in 2001, focusing on the interrelationship between democracy and ethnic fractionalization at village level. Applying a Probit model to the IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) data set on the perception of corruption incidence and the changes in governance at village government in 256 communities, this paper finds that an ethnic diversity at village level is positively associated with corruption if democracy is practiced before the decentralization, and, in contrast, is negatively associated with corruption if the democracy is newly adopted following the decentralization reform. These results are robust, with and without inclusion of budget autonomy, which found to have positive association with corruption.
THE EFFECT OF TRADE FACILITATION ON TRADE MARGIN OF 8 ASEAN-CHINA FREE TRADE AREA COUNTRIES (ACFTA): A GRAVITY MODEL APPROACH
Authors: Susetyo Ferdyan
Published: July 2019

Trade facilitation is an effort of simplification and harmonization of international trade procedures. Trade facilitation that manifested in the form of policy packages that aim to reduce trade costs and improve export growth. Export growth can be sourced from the level of diversity of exported goods (extensive margin) and the volume of exported goods (intensive margin). This study aims to analyze the effect of trade facilitation on the extensive and intensive margin of trade eight member countries of ACFTA during the years 2006-2014. Trade facilitation indicators used in this study consisted of exporters and importers port efficiency. This study uses gravity model and estimation techniques Random Effect Model. The results showed that exporter port efficiency have a positive and significant effect on the extensive margin while importer port efficiency has a positive and significant effect on the intensive margin.
Analyzing local fashion communities/SME`s from Ethiopia and Ukraine and devising solutions for sustainable businesses.
Authors: Khuarana Karan
Published: July 2019

The ever-increasing share of fast fashion consumerism shadowed the profound craftsmanship of local produce in the developing countries. This subsequently created hardship to the local communities and designers across the non-western world which belongs to small and medium scale enterprise sector. Beyond this the fashion commodities saw a substantial fall in design elements which made the products very banal in nature. Consequently, the trade turned towards conscious consumption and here emerged a few sustainable designers and craft oriented communities which attracted attention in the recent past. Problems of sustainability and consumption are burning issues nowadays, fashion houses and international brands propagandize purchase for better consumer base, whereas originally sustainable local-based craftsmen still stay in the shade. Due to lack of expert management and target allocated branding real sources of national heritage cannot gain fame on the international level.In this research, we have studied and analyzed the problems faced by hereditary communities and ethnic designers which lie in small and medium scale enterprise sector from two developing economies Ethiopia and Ukraine. The main purpose of the work is to design effective marketing & management strategy for expansion of local communities and entrepreneurs to the international level. Particular attention is given to communities and designers who promote national heritage and for a part of small and medium scale enterprises which are one of the concerns of economic development of the two countries.
Peer-to-Peer Lending in Surabaya: How It Drives Regional Economy?

This study aims to analyze the impact of Non tariff measures using sanitary and phytosanitary policy (SPS) and technical trade barriers (TBTs) on fishery exports of Indonesia and its trading partner countries such as China, South Korea, Vietnam, Canada, Russia and the European Union in period of 2007 to 2016. SPS and TBT are measured using inventory approach in the form of coverage ratio. In addition, this study uses a gravity model and panel data regression method. The results of this study indicate that the variables GDP of exporting country and GDP of importing country have a positive and significant effect on Indonesian fishery exports. Distance and SPS have a negative and significant effect on Indonesian fishery exports, while TBT has no effect on Indonesian fishery exports.  Keywords: Export, SPS and TBT, Fishery Export, coverage ratio

The influence of foreign tourist arrivals based on the region of origin on economic growth was analyzed in this study, using GDP data as a proxy for economic growth, the number of tourist visits, the Consumer Price Index, and the monthly period of exchange for 2007-2016. This study uses secondary data with the Error Correction Model (ECM) regression method with short and long-term calculations. The results showed that the variable number of tourist visits had an effect on GDP in the continents of Asia, Europe, Middle-East, and Oceania while in the long run in all continents except America. The exchange rate variable in the short term has a negative effect on GDP in the American Continent and the Middle East, while in the long run, the exchange rate variable has a positive effect on GDP in the Asean continent and Europe. The CPI variable only has a positive effect on GDP in the long run for all continents except America. So that it can be concluded that not all continents have a positive impact on GDP, one of which is the American continent, so in order to optimize and increase economic growth, it should be stressed that the cost of developing the tourism sector in America should be allocated more proportionally or diverted to continents of Asia, ASEAN, Oceania, Europe and the Middle East.of developing the tourism sector in America should be allocated more proportionally or diverted to continents of Asia, ASEAN, Oceania, Europe and the Middle East. Keywords: Error Correction Model,GDP, Tourism

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas in various organs and tissues. The clinical signs of sarcoidosis are determined by the number of affected organs, the degree of their structural and functional impairment, and the severity of inflammatory symptoms. The article presents a clinical observation of one of the forms of sarcoidosis — Lofgren’s syndrome, which is characterized by a triad of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy, acute arthritis and erythema nodosum. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. Under the prescribed treatment, signs of acute inflammation reversed and the patient’s state improved. The authors emphasize that they do not recommend widespread use of systemic glucocorticosteroids in patients with this disease, since their use may be associated with a relapsing course.

Pheochromocytoma is a tumor of chromaffin tissue that produces a large amount of biologically active substances (adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine), clinically manifested by hypertension and various metabolic disorders. Quite often the diagnosis is made only after autopsy. One of the reasons for late diagnosis is a great number of different clinical masks of the disease. Usually pheochromocytoma is suspected in patients with paroxysmal hypertension. We present a 37-year-old pregnant female (week 8 of pregnancy) with pheochromocytoma and permanent hypertension and sustained elevation of blood pressure up to 220/150 mm Hg. Her only complaint was vision disorder that started 3 months ago. Also, she noted a weight loss of 4 kg over the last 6 months. Retinopathy, left ventricle hypertrophy, tumor of right adrenal gland and glucose level disorders were revealed. Pregnancy was terminated for medical reasons. The patient took combination of doxazosin 0.4 mg, metoprolol 100 mg and moxonidin 0.4 mg per day and blood pressure was normalized to 130/90 mm Hg. Due to hypertension and tumor of right adrenal gland that are accompanied by retinopathy and metabolic disorders, pheochromocytoma was suspected. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography confirmed the tumor (60×73×70 mm) of right adrenal gland. Urinary normetanephrine level was 5.5 times higher than the norm. Magnetic resonance angiography of cerebral vessels was done because of malignant hypertension and family history (the patient’s sister had died of cerebral hemorrhage). Fusiform aneurysm of right internal carotid artery was revealed. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of right adrenal gland. Histologic examination: pronounced cellular and nuclear polymorphism, invasion of tumor cells into a fibrous capsule, which does not exclude the malignant nature of pheochromocytoma. Follow-up period lasted for 8 months and was characterized by normalization of blood pressure, glucose level and weight gain of 3.5 kg. Computed tomography of retroperitoneal space and normal urinary metanephrine tests revealed no recurrent pheochromocytoma.
