Sobre las instituciones públicas como instrumentos feministas emancipadores para un mundo en transición
Authors: Gómez Laura
Published: May 2016

En este artículo se propone analizar algunos de los desafíos que deben ser afrontados si queremos imaginar hacer de las instituciones públicas instrumentos feministas al servicio de transitar hacia un horizonte común cuyo fin último sea sostener la vida humana y no humana en términos de universalidad. Y se propone hacerlo a partir de lo soñado y practicado bajo el impulso de la Dirección de igualdad (DI) de la Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa (DFG) del gobierno de Bildu (2011-2015). Para ello, en primer lugar, estudiaremos el contexto en el que se enmarca la llegada de Bildu al gobierno de la DFG y el marco conceptual que sostiene la propuesta política que se hizo desde la DI. A continuación, se analizan algunas de las claves para la reinvención feminista de las instituciones. Y finalmente, se extraen algunas lecciones que quieren servir de faro en la consolidación de los procesos de tránsito iniciados desde estas.
Sembrando soberanía alimentaria para otros modelos de vida en Euskal Herria. Las políticas públicas locales como herramienta de transformación
Authors: Piris Silvia
Published: May 2016

En el contexto actual de crisis sistémica del modelo capitalista la revisión crítica de cómo se está entendiendo la agricultura y la producción de alimentos resulta central. El modelo agroindustrial capitalista, basado en ese principio de entender la alimentación como mercancía y no como derecho, y estructurado en torno a los intereses de las grandes empresas transnacionales, genera vulnerabilidad alimentaria, ecológica, social y económica. Frente a esto, la agenda de la soberanía alimentaria, como enfoque integral, abierto y alternativo, se nos presenta como una propuesta contrahegemónica de primer orden, los territorios como ámbito estratégico para la implementación de esta agenda, y las políticas públicas como herramienta tractora fundamental para transitar hacia otros modelos de organización sociales, políticos y económicos que coloquen la alimentación y la sostenibilidad de la vida en el centro.
Development of Preverbal Communication Skills Scale for Children with Multiple Disabilities and Visual Impairment

Published: May 2016

Communication is crucial for any human being and the children with disabilities are no exception. Due to the number and combination of their disabilities and/or conditions, children with multiple disabilities and visual impairment (MDVI) have especially limitations of the ability to communicate the meaningful and functional way with their environment. In order to improve the communication skills of children with MDVI, it is very important to identify unique, individual communication behaviors of these children. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable developmental assessment tool to evaluate preverbal communication skills of Turkish children with MDVI.Sequential explanatory mixed methods were used in the study. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the mothers of 34 children suffering from MDVI to explore the preverbal communication behaviors of the children based on the daily observances of their mothers’ with a descriptive analysis being performed on the data. From the findings of the interviews and the literature review, Preverbal Communication Skills Scale for Children with Multiple Disabilities and Visual Impairment (PCSS-MDVI) and the scoring guide were developed. During the quantitative phase, 65 mothers of children with MDVI were given this scale in order to determine the validity and reliability of the scale. For the reliability analysis, 34 mothers of typically developing (TD) children age between 1 to 24 months old also were given the scale.The findings of the qualitative phase indicated that children with MDVI were communicating mostly with preverbal behaviors and the analysis on data from the quantitative phase with respect to item analysis, reliability and validity revealed that the scale is valid and reliable. The scale has 17 items and three subscales, which are; regulating behaviors, social interaction and joint attention. The majority of children with MDVI cannot communicate verbally and there is lack of studies and assessment tools for the purpose of effectively evaluate these children’s preverbal communicative behaviors in our country. Based on the analysis, the PCSS-MDVI has been demonstrated good preliminary psychometric properties and it can be used as an instrument to evaluate preverbal communication behaviors of children with MDVI. It is the preliminary study of the development of the scale. Thus, validation of the scale should be repeated with more participants and the data of the video observations of preverbal communication behaviors of children with MDVI should be added to the analysis.

Diagnosis is a team sport – partnering with allied health professionals to reduce diagnostic errors
Authors: Thomas Dana B. , Newman-Toker David E.
Published: May 2016

Background: Diagnostic errors are the most common, most costly, and most catastrophic of medical errors. Interdisciplinary teamwork has been shown to reduce harm from therapeutic errors, but sociocultural barriers may impact the engagement of allied health professionals (AHPs) in the diagnostic process.

Methods: A qualitative case study of the experience at a single institution around involvement of an AHP in the diagnostic process for acute dizziness and vertigo. We detail five diagnostic error cases in which the input of a physical therapist was central to correct diagnosis. We further describe evolution of the sociocultural milieu at the institution as relates to AHP engagement in diagnosis.

Results: Five patients with acute vestibular symptoms were initially misdiagnosed by physicians and then correctly diagnosed based on input from a vestibular physical therapist. These included missed labyrinthine concussion and post-traumatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV); BPPV called gastroenteritis; BPPV called stroke; stroke called BPPV; and multiple sclerosis called BPPV. As a consequence of surfacing these diagnostic errors, initial resistance to physical therapy input to aid medical diagnosis has gradually declined, creating a more collaborative environment for ‘team diagnosis’ of patients with dizziness and vertigo at the institution.

Conclusions: Barriers to AHP engagement in ‘team diagnosis’ include sociocultural norms that establish medical diagnosis as something reserved only for physicians. Drawing attention to the valuable diagnostic contributions of AHPs may help facilitate cultural change. Future studies should seek to measure diagnostic safety culture and then implement proven strategies to breakdown sociocultural barriers that inhibit effective teamwork and transdisciplinary diagnosis.
The ACA: Impacts on Health, Access, and Employment
Authors: Serakos Maria , Wolfe Barbara
Published: May 2016

On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law. This comprehensive health care reform legislation sought to expand health care coverage to millions of Americans, control health care costs, and improve the overall quality of the health care system. The ACA required that all US citizens and legal residents have qualifying health insurance by 2014. In this paper we give readers a brief overview of the effects of the ACA based on recent research. We then turn our attention to the possibility of using the ACA expansion to answer important underlying questions, such as: To what extent does the holding of insurance lead to improvements in access to care? To what extent does the holding of coverage lead to improvements in health? In mental health? Are there likely general equilibrium effects on labor force participation, hours worked, employment setting, and indeed even the probability of marrying? By necessity, researchers’ ability to answer these questions depends on the availability of data, so we discuss current and potential data sources relevant for answering these questions. We also look to what has been studied about the health reform in Massachusetts and early Medicaid expansions to speculate what we can expect to learn about the effects of the ACA on these outcomes in the future.
Genetic variation in Heteromys nelsoni (Rodentia: Heteromyidae) reveals its possible natural extinction
Authors: Rios Evelyn , Lorenzo Consuelo , Álvarez-Castañeda Sergio Ticul
Published: May 2016

Heteromys nelsoni is restricted to cloud forests in the mountain range of the southern state of Chiapas, Mexico, and western Guatemala. It is considered an endemic species, under special protection, and endangered because its habitat has been modified by excessive logging and extensive cattle grazing. We evaluated the genetic variation of H. nelsoni and the relationship between individuals from two geographic areas surrounding Cerro Mozotal, Chiapas, using three mitochondrial genes [cytochrome b (Cyt b), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI), and control region (D-Loop)]. Low genetic diversity (d<0.9, π<0.005) and average divergence (<0.6%) in mtDNA were observed among the specimens examined. The haplotypes are distributed throughout the areas sampled; therefore, no areas where individuals showed genetic identity, with exclusive haplotypes, were found. Heteromys nelsoni populations have undergone a very recent demographic contraction and the low genetic diversity observed indicates an unfavorable future for the species. Changes in the climatic conditions coupled with other anthropogenic pressures have likely reduced the optimal habitat area for the species. It is imperative to develop programs aiming to reduce the probable risk of extinction of this species.

Religious and Spiritual Values Central to Personality and Behaviour
Authors: Morin Marie-Line
Published: May 2016

Following a review and analysis of Allen E. Bergin’s article “Psychotherapy and Religious
Values,” this paper anticipates future directions for integrating clients’ religious and spiritual values
in psychology and psychotherapy research and practice. The author argues that to support Bergin’s
suggestion that such values are no longer “at the fringe of clinical psychology [but rather] at the center”
of our comprehension of personality and its aspirations, researchers and clinicians in psychology need
to go beyond the “methodolatry” denounced by Bergin and associated with probabilistic practices. For
that purpose, she first presents the considerations of Experiential Ontological Phenomenology (EOP),
to which the concept of will is added, as a methodological scientific foundation to a value-based model
in psychotherapy. She then introduces the principal concept of this model, the fundamental value,
presented in relationship with the second most important concept, the psychological nub, derived from
psychoanalytic concepts. The third basic concept, the subjective process, borrowed from the humanistic
approach, is mentioned as being included in the EOP theory. Finally, a brief case study demonstrates how
this model constitutes a point of integration at which theistic values or belief systems and psychological
studies and practice meet.
Comparative genetics of diffuse malignant mesothelioma tumors of the peritoneumand pleura, with focus on BAP1 expression
Authors: Brevet Marie
Published: May 2016

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a malignancy arising from the mesothelial cells lining the thoracic and abdominal serosal cavities. The pleural space is the most commonly affected site, accounting for about 80% of cases, while peritoneum makes up the majority of the remaining 20%. The different types of mesotheliomas are generally considered as distinct diseases with specific risk factors, therapeutic strategies and prognoses. Epidemiological and clinical differences between pleural and peritoneal MM raise questions about the involvement of different molecular mechanisms. Since the BAP1 gene is involved in the BAP1 cancer syndrome and seems to be a prognostic factor in MM, this review presents an overview of BAP1 alterations in mesothelioma comparing pleural and peritoneal localizations.

Published: May 2016

The triazole and its derivatives applications' in many drugs make the investigation of specific and non-specific
interactions of these compounds with their environments important. Hence, absorption and emission spectra of two triazole
compounds, with same molecular skeleton and different substituted groups on triazole ring, were studied in various
solvents at room temperature. The solute's photo-physical behavior strongly depends on the nature of solvent and solute,
along with the solvent–solute interactions. Using solvatochromic method, the samples' dipole moments variations, from
ground to excited states, were investigated in solvent media. For understanding the effect of intermolecular interactions
on spectral behaviors of these materials in different solvent and extend of solvent-solute interactions, the spectral
variations were analyzed by means of linear solvation energy relationships concept, proposed by Kamlet and Taft.

Graphene is a thin material, has a hexagonal two-dimentional lattice and is considered as an interesting material for adsorption process. Nowadays, graphene has been known as a potential material for diverse application, such as adsorbent. In this study graphene was synthesized from graphite. Furthermore, graphene was applied for adsorption of dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT). Graphene was synthesized by Hummer’s method using hydrothermal and reduced by Zn. The samples were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) methods. The results of the XRD showed graphene structure in the 2θ, appeared at 23.9369 with interlayer spacing was about 3.71763 Å, compared with graphite oxide structure in the 2θ appeared at 11.2055 with interlayer spacing was about 7.89649 Å. The results of SEM analysis showed graphene has one layer with planar hexagonal structure and seems transparent whose single layer and multi layers. The graphene adsorption was analyzed by using the UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The results indicated the surface area of graphene was shown as 46.8563 m2/g. The amount of DDT adsorbed by graphene during 15 minutes was 7.5859 mg/g. This adsorption mechanism of DDT and graphene might be due to π-π and hydrogen interactions.   Keywords: Adsorption, dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), graphena.

Used cooking oil can be used as raw material for biodiesel, but the levels of free fatty acids (Free Fatty Acid, FFA) is quite high. It is necessary for pretreatment in the form of the adsorption process to reduce levels of FFA. This study aims to determine the optimal conditions of adsorption process and determine the quality of biodiesel produced from adsorption processes and transesterification. Natural zeolites are used as adsorbents activated beforehand using ammonium chloride, calcined and heated to obtain H-zeolite. Furthermore, the adsorption process optimization includes the time, the adsorbent concentration, temperature and particle size. The oil that is already in the adsorption catalyst is reacted with methanol and KOH to obtain biodiesel. The optimum adsorption conditions obtained at the time of 90 minutes, the concentration of H-zeolite 12%, temperature 90 ° C, and a particle size of 0.2 mm that can lower FFA levels from 3.2% to 1.1%. Biodiesel produced meets the quality requirements of SNI 04-7182-2006 with a water content of 0.02%, a density of 857.60 kg / m3, the acid value of 0.29 mg-KOH / g, iodine number 15.71, saponification 168 , 02 and cetane index of 75.62.

Published: May 2016

Bullous eruptions in patients with underlying systemic lupus erythematosus (LE) can mimic toxic-epidermal necrolysis (TEN), a rapidly progressive mucocutaneous reaction usually associated with medication use. Differentiating between classic drug-induced TEN and TEN-like cutaneous LE is important but difficult. We report a series of 3 patients with pediatric systemic LE who were admitted with severe worsening of skin disease resembling TEN. However, the initial photo-distribution of the eruption, subacute progression, limited mucosal involvement, mild systemic symptoms, supportive biopsy and laboratory results, and lack of culprit drugs was more suggestive of a TEN-like cutaneous LE. These patients recovered with various systemic immunosuppressive medications including methylprednisolone, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasmapheresis. Our cases are rare and demonstrate key clinical and histologic features of TEN-like cutaneous LE in young patients and the importance of differentiating this entity from drug-induced TEN.

Published: May 2016

El desarrollo de una variedad genéticamente modificada (GM) es un reto científico y legal, tanto por las técnicas de ingeniería genética, como por los derechos de propiedad intelectual (DPI) implicados. Se realizó una aproximación al análisis de libertad de operación para una línea GM derivada de una variedad colombiana de arroz, que exprese una versión optimizada del gen 1Ac, con el propósito de procurar su liberación comercial en Colombia. Para ello, se efectuó una deconstrucción de la innovación, con la cual se determinaron los elementos potencialmente protegibles por DPI, sobre los cuales se efectuaron búsquedas de patentes y solicitudes de patentes en el contexto nacional e internacional, en bases de datos de acceso público. Se encontraron 59 patentes y solicitudes de patentes en el escenario internacional.  En la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio de Colombia (SIC) se encontraron tres solicitudes de patentes que pueden incidir en la libertad de operación para esta innovación. Se concluye que es alta la posibilidad de desarrollar una línea GM de arroz que exprese el gen 1Ac sin afectar interés de terceros, siempre y cuanto se cree para comercializarla en el país.

Published: May 2016

El Potato virus (PVX) es uno de los virus más limitantes del cultivo de la papa en el mundo. Es transmitido solamente por contacto y por tubérculo-semilla. Su control se fundamenta en la siembra de tubérculos certificados por su sanidad viral y en la disponibilidad de metodologías de diagnóstico altamente sensibles. En este trabajo se evaluó la prevalencia del PVX en cuatro diferentes tejidos de tubérculos de Solanum tuberosum subsp. andigena var. Diacol-Capiro y S. phureja var. Criolla Colombia utilizando pruebas de DAS-ELISA para 128 submuestras y de RT-qPCR para 32 grupos de submuestras (4 submuestras/grupo). Los resultados de las pruebas serológicas  indicaron la presencia de PVX en el 6,25 y 50% de las submuestras analizadas para la variedad Diacol-Capiro y Criolla Colombia, respectivamente; mientras que los niveles de prevalencia del PVX utilizando la detección por RT-qPCR fueron del 93,75%, independientemente de la variedad de papa y del tejido evaluado. Los valores promedio del ciclo umbral (Ct) en las RT-qPCR fueron de 25,6 (Ct=18,02 a 34,49) y el análisis de las curvas de desnaturalización permitió identificar dos variantes del virus con valores de Tm de 79,5±1°C y 83,7±1°C. La secuenciación de los amplicones obtenidos por RT-qPCR para los controles positivos y para dos de las muestras, confirmó su naturaleza viral. Estos resultados señalan unos muy altos niveles de prevalencia de PVX en el material de siembra de papa en Antioquia y la necesidad de fortalecer los programas de certificación de semilla con pruebas de detección como RT-qPCR.

El cáncer de seno es una enfermedad con gran impacto a nivel mundial dado que es una de las patologías con mayor prevalencia en mujeres y el cáncer con mayor tasa de mortalidad en varios países (GLOBOCAN 2012). El uso de la farmacogenética y farmacogenómica, en pacientes con cáncer de seno tiene como fin, generar una salud personalizada que permita tratar a cada paciente como individuo y no como enfermedad, pues cada paciente tiene necesidades particulares a la hora de suministrarle un tratamiento. El propósito  de esta revisión es identificar las variantes genéticas reportadas en la literatura científica, donde se evalúan diferentes poblaciones y su posible uso como herramienta para medicina de precisión. En población colombiana es poca la caracterización poblacional que existe y por tanto estudios poblacionales son necesarios para definir los perfiles genéticos que deberán implementarse en nuestra población.
Unusual Case of Coexisting Renal Malignancies: Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Carcinoma Kidney With Sarcomatoid Dedifferentiation
Authors: Akhtar Kafil , Agnihotri Pragati , Alam Kiran , Raza Kashif
Published: May 2016

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a recent entity introduced in the World Health Organization 2004 Classification. It is a tumour of low malignant potential. MTSCC is a subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is characterized by a polymorphous histology, wherein the spindled epithelial cell is an inherent carcinomatous component. We report the case of a 57-year-old man presenting with loin pain and dragging sensation. Imaging revealed a large mass arising from the left kidney. Radical nephrectomy was performed, and histopathology revealed spindle cell elements of MTSCC with low-grade cytology, which occasionally blended with tubular structures in variable mucinous stroma admixed with spindle sarcomatoid cells with marked nuclear pleomorphism, associated with significant necrosis and mitoses of up to 5/10 high-power field. A final diagnosis of MTSCC along with high-grade areas consistent with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation was made. Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation has been well documented in various subtypes of RCC, and its presence signifies a worse prognosis in RCC.
Numerical parametric study on behavior of bearing reinforcement earth walls with different backfill material properties
Authors: Sukmak K. , Han J. , Sukmak P. , Horpibulsuk S.
Published: May 2016

This paper presents a numerical parametric study on behavior of bearing reinforcement earth (BRE) walls with different backfill properties using the finite-element method software PLAXIS 2D. The primary objective of this study was to improve the understanding of bearing stress, settlement, lateral earth pressure, and horizontal wall movement of BRE walls with different backfill materials. The second objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of various soil–structure interactions, foundations, and stiffness of reinforcements on horizontal wall deformations. The backfill materials consisted of four types of soil, which were mixtures of silty clay and sand at different fine contents of 2, 20, 40, and 80% by dry weight. The model parameters for the numerical simulation were obtained from the conventional laboratory tests and back-calculated from the laboratory pullout tests of the bearing reinforcement. The geotextile elements were used to model the bearing reinforcements by converting the contribution of friction and bearing resistances to the equivalent friction resistance, which was represented by the soil–bearing reinforcement interaction ratio, Rinter. The values of Rinter decreased following a polynomial function as an increase of fine content in the ranges of 0.65–0.38 and 0.75–0.40 for the numbers of transverse members, n = 2 and 3, respectively. The simulated bearing stress in the reinforced zone decreased from the front to the back of the wall because the BRE wall behaved as a rigid body built on the relatively firm foundation retaining the unreinforced backfill. The foundation settlement decreased from the facing of the wall to the unreinforced zone for all backfill properties due to the slight rotation of the wall. The relationship between the maximum horizontal wall movement and the fine content can be expressed by a polynomial function. The maximum horizontal wall movement significantly increased as the fine content increased. The excessive movement was realized when the fine content was greater than 45%. The increase of the fine content moved the location of the maximum wall movement higher up from the mid to the top of the wall. A numerical parametric study was conducted to investigate the soil–structure interaction, foundation, and stiffness of reinforcement. These parameters affected the horizontal wall deformation, which is especially important for serviceability of BRE walls. The knowledge gained from this study provides a preliminary guideline in predicting the behavior of BRE walls and may be used to investigate other BRE walls with different wall heights and features of bearing reinforcements.
The grain effect of intact rock modelling using discrete element method with Voronoi grains

Published: May 2016

A comprehensive investigation of grain effect (size and distribution) in discrete element modelling of intact rock is carefully conducted through simulating Brazilian disc and uniaxial compressive tests on an intact rock using Universal Distinct Element Code. All the investigations are performed based on the same group of material parameters. Six sizes of Voronoi tessellation grains ranging from 1 to 6 mm are investigated. To investigate the influence of grain assemblage distribution, five different polygonal grain assemblages are created and tested for uniaxial compression and Brazilian disc tests. The simulation results demonstrate that grain size and assemblage distribution play a significant role in the numerical modelling of intact rock using discrete element method. It is found that larger particle size produces higher stiffness and strength. It is also observed that a more homogeneous model can produce higher strength (compressive strength, tensile strength). The modelled Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio have been demonstrated to be dependent on the grain effect.

Com a finalidade de gerar conhecimento para a aplicação prática e visando também solucionar problemas específicos, no caso, “Gestão de cargos e salários e sua influência na motivação dos colaboradores”, este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre como a gestão de cargo e salários influencia a motivação dos colaboradores da organização. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de uma pesquisa de estudo de caso e bibliográfica, classificada quanto a sua natureza como qualitativa e exploratória, sendo a coleta de dados realizada por um questionário destinado aos colaboradores da organização, que foi objeto de pesquisa. Com isso percebemos que a empresa pesquisada não possui colaboradores motivados e satisfeitos com as políticas que são praticadas na organização e não possui políticas estruturadas quanto à gestão de cargos e
salários. Concluindo, a visão da gerência da empresa pesquisada precisa ser radicalmente mudada, e devem ser estabelecidas novas políticas e a introdução de uma cultura que vise dar maior importância para os colaboradores. Essas mudanças são necessárias para que os problemas identificados sejam definitivamente sanados e, em consequência, a produtividade, a motivação e a satisfação dos colaboradores aumentem, pois para que a produtividade da organização cresça, os objetivos organizacionais e os objetivos de cada colaborador devem estar alinhados.

Authors: Ribeiro Denise , De Moura Larissa Santos
Published: May 2016

A finalidade deste artigo é apresentar um levantamento de dados, de acordo com o método de pesquisa dedutivo. Trata-se da logística reversa aplicada ao setor da construção civil que se encontra em franco desenvolvimento devido à expansão populacional, gerando desta forma elevadas quantidades de resíduos. Tal aplicação pode auxiliar na otimização dos recursos utilizados nesse setor, pois tem como intuito orientar a reutilização e reciclagem dos resíduos gerados. Define-se reutilização o uso do material sem complexas transformações e reciclagem, sua transformação complexa, facilitando sua reelaboração e remanufaturamento, possibilitando o uso não só no local gerador como em outros locais, proporcionando, desta forma, menor extração de recursos naturais, redução do volume dos resíduos em aterros sanitários e busca por
formas apropriadas para o descarte. Será analisado e lançado dados da pesquisa com o intuito de apontar a relevância do assunto abordado e sobre a legislação pertinente a ele, pois essas informações fogem do conhecimento da sociedade que, desinformada, descarta os resíduos de forma incorreta em aterros clandestinos, encostas de rios, terrenos baldios, dentre outros locais, causando malefícios ao meio ambiente e à saúde humana.

The spectrum of clinical presentations of takotsubo cardiomyopathy is larger than once suspected. There are several pulmonary and neurological diseases that can aggravate leading to atypical takotsubo cardiomyopathy documented in a large collective of case reports from all all over the world. This varied distribution of patients’ presentations is illustrated by several cases.  The spectrum of takotsubo cardiomyopathy can be enlarged in non-acute and non-cardiac diseases leading to an increase of this diagnosis in a large number of patients.
Microvascular Dysfunction in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Authors: Gowdar Shreyas , Chhabra Lovely
Published: May 2016

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is characterized by transient cardiac dysfunction, usually but not always triggered by physical or emotional stress. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may mimic an acute coronary syndrome due to an overlapping presenting clinical spectrum. Typically, apical involvement with hypercontraction of basal left ventricle (apical type) is predominant, but atypical types involving basal, midventricular, and right ventricular myocardium have also been described. To date, the exact pathogenic mechanism of this disease remains unclear however sympathetic or catecholaminergic hyperactivity, mutivessel coronary vasospasm, microcirculatory disorder, and estrogen deficiency have been proposed to be the likely underlying pathogenic mechanisms. In this review, we specifically highlight the association of microcirculatory dysfunction in takotsubo cardiomyopathy which has been more recently recognized as an important pathogenetic contributor to this disease.
Mechanisms of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; role of microcirculatory dysfunction
Authors: Khalid Nauman
Published: May 2016

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction typically preceded by an emotional or a physical stressor. The underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms include multivessel coronary vascular spasm, microvascular dysfunction, neurogenic stunning of the myocardium and catecholamine surge. Microcirculatory dysfunction may play a key role in the evolution of this syndrome especially in the acute phases of the illness. Severe invasive and noninvasive modalities are utilized to ascertain any compromise in coronary perfusion in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, including Doppler guidewire technique, Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count (TFC), TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) and nuclear imaging techniques. TIMI frame count can be utilized as a diagnostic marker and clinical indicator in assessment of microvascular function or coronary flow in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Study of inhibition of browning of clarified banana juice
Authors: Tapre A. R. , Jain R. K.
Published: May 2016

Browning is the second largest cause of quality loss in fruits and vegetables. It seems to be the most severe problem during banana pulp processing. Effect of two anti-browning pretreatments viz. addition of ascorbic acid (200-1200 ppm) and blanching the peeled fruits (90°C for different periods) prior to enzymatic clarification banana juice were studied. Effectiveness of anti-browning pretreatments to the pulp was evaluated by measuring the browning in terms of Browning Index in prepared clarified juices. Clarified banana juice obtained from untreated pulp had dark brown colour with initial browning index value of 0.411 which continuously increased and reached to 0.586 at 24 h of storage. Pretreatment of pulp with 1000 ppm of ascorbic acid or heating at 90°C for 6 minute was observed to retain the natural colour of prepared clarified juice without marked changes up to 4 h of storage at room temperature. However preheating of banana pulp observed to be caused cooked flavour and altered the original taste of the clarified juices.

Most cocoa beans in Indonesia are traditionally produced by farmers using non fermented and sun drying method. The quality of cocoa beans produced by farmer in yogyakarta may be improved by the fermentation method. However, it needs optimization for best fermentation process. The aims of the study was to improve quality of cocoa bans by fermentation of sun dried cocoa beans. The characteric fermented cocoa beans was determined by maesuring changes pH, acidity and fermentation indexs of cocoa beans during fermentation. This study used preconditioned cocoa beans to resamble obtain from the farmer. Preconditioning was done in order to get 15% mouisture content of pulp at same level as moisture content of pulp from traditional process. Before fermentation, therefor sun dried cocoa beans was rehydrated to obtain a moisture content of pulp similiar to fresh beans pulp, and then fermentation was conducted for 120 hours. Changes in acidity and fermentation indexs of cocoa beans during fermentation were measured. The fermentation process used 3 level treatment i.e. control (without inoculum), mixed culture of microbies added at the begining fermentation. The result show all cocoa beans acidity increase during fermentation from 4,48% to 6,45% for control, 4,64% to 6,39% for addition of inoculum at begining of fermentation and from 4,45% to 6,59% for addition of inoculum at the begining and midle of fermentation and fermentation indexs of cocoa beans increase for all level of inoculum addition i.e. 0,31 to 0,88 for control, 0,32 to 0,99 for addition of inoculum at the beginning fermentation and 0,33 to 1,03 for addition of inoculum at the beginning and midle of fermentation. The study indicated that addition of mix culture microbies in fermetation improved the quality of cocoa beans that characterized by pH, acidity and fermentation indexs of cocoa beans.

Authors: Singh A. D. , Singh Opinder
Published: May 2016

The histoenzymic studies on sublingual salivary gland of 15 buffalo foetuses ranging from 11 cm CVRL (78 days) to 100 cm CVRL (full term) were conducted. The foetuses were categorized into three groups based on their curved crown rump length (CVRL). At 11-19 cm CVRL (78-114 days), a weak activity of phosphatases and oxidoreductases was observed in the acinar cells and ductular epithelium. Between 28-37 cm CVRL (136-157 days), a weak to moderate diffused granular alkaline phosphatase (AKPase) activity was observed in the mucous acini whereas oxidoreductases showed moderate activity. The enzyme activity was progressively increased with advancement of the gestation period. AKPase activity was more in the lumen of acini and along the intercellular canaliculi at 42-100 cm of CVRL (168 days- full term). Large ducts exhibited strong activity for oxidoreductases indicating increased metabolic activity of cells.

Background: Periodontal regeneration of incisors is necessary for esthetic recovery. A novel regenerative method combining bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)‐2 and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)‐2 was developed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate periodontal healing, including root coverage, in circumferential defects of incisors.

Methods: Fifty incisors in five beagles were used. After circumferential defects were surgically created, each group, consisting of ten recipient sites, received: 1) a double layer with FGF‐2 (2 μg)/collagen as inner layer and BMP‐2 (4 μg)/collagen as outer layer (FB‐DL group); 2) collagen impregnated with both FGF‐2 (2 μg) and BMP‐2 (4 μg) (FB‐M group); 3) BMP‐2 (4 μg)/collagen (B group); 4) FGF‐2 (4 μg)/collagen (F group); or 5) collagen (C group). Dogs were sacrificed 8 weeks post‐surgery, and healing was evaluated histologically.

Results: The three groups treated with BMP‐2 showed enhanced new bone formation compared with control and F groups (P < 0.05). Furthermore, connective tissue attachment with cementum regeneration in the FB‐DL group was significantly greater than in FB‐M and B groups (P <0.05). Ankylosis in the FB‐DL group was significantly less than in FB‐M and B groups (P <0.05). Gingival recession was inhibited significantly better in FB‐DL and FB‐M groups compared with control and B groups.

Conclusion: These data support development of a double‐layer method combining BMP‐2 and FGF‐2 as a therapeutic approach to periodontal regeneration at incisors with horizontal circumferential defects.
