Published: October 2022

A prática regular de exercício físico tem sido considera uma conduta eficiente para melhorar o equilíbrio de idosos. Porém, não está muito claro se os exercícios físicos resistido e aeróbio resultam no mesmo efeito sobre o equilíbrio em mulheres idosas. Pensando nisso, o objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os efeitos dos treinamentos resistido e aeróbio sobre o equilíbrio e a preocupação com quedas em idosas. Para tal, foram avaliadas idosas do grupo treinamento resistido (GTR; n = 15) e do grupo aeróbio (GEA; n = 15). Foram mensurados o nível de atividade física o equilíbrio e a preocupação com a queda. Nenhuma diferença significativa entre grupos foi observada no nível de atividade física (χ²= 0,240; gl= 1; p<0,624). Porém, as idosas do GTR apresentaram melhor desempenho no teste de equilíbrio (49,8±3,85) e baixa preocupação com uma possível queda (18,3±1,44), quando comparadas com as idosas do GEA (equilíbrio: 28,13±4,24; χ² Wald (1) = 176,778; p<0,0001; preocupação com uma possível queda: 33,0±5,93; χ² Wald (1) = 87,5; p<0,001). No presente estudo, podemos concluir que idosas praticantes de treinamento resistido apresentaram melhor equilíbrio e menor preocupação com uma possível queda em relação às idosas praticantes de exercício aeróbio.

Published: October 2022

A fascinação das pessoas pela arte do funambulismo ultrapassou gerações e adquiriu novos significados ao longo dos tempos. Na contemporaneidade, fitas de nylon dispostas nas mais variadas alturas caracterizaram a emergência do slackline, um esporte que adquiriu nas últimas décadas um número pronunciado de adeptos. Apesar dessa maior popularidade, compete ressaltar que ao consultarmos algumas das principais bases de dados (Scielo, Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus e Science Direct), observamos escassa produção acadêmica no que concerne à esse esporte, o que corrobora a necessidade de estudos que contemplem os protagonistas dessa prática, bem como suas características enquanto atividade física orientada para a competição. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi apresentar e discutir a motivação para a permanência na prática de slackline em sua vertente esportiva, mais especificamente, na categoria trickline. Para a obtenção dos dados, entrevistamos 14 atletas do sexo masculino por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os dados foram analisados segundo a prerrogativa da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2011). Os resultados do estudo apontaram a presença de fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos de motivação para a permanência na prática do slackline. Torna-se essencial distinguir esses fatores com o intuito de atender as necessidades e anseios dos esportistas com o fim de favorecer a permanência duradoura na prática esportiva.
Espacio real / espacio imaginado
Authors: Castellino Marta Elena
Published: October 2022

La representación literaria del espacio malvinense plantea una serie de dificultades: es un territorio que pocos argentinos conocen, al menos por experiencia directa, por lo que la mayoría de los autores basan sus descripciones en referencias anteriores. Además, tiene la singularidad de ser una realidad esencializada en unos pocos elementos que ya se han vuelto tópicos. Por todo ello, Malvinas es más una ausencia que una presencia, y la mayoría de los textos escritos sobre esta temática, fundamentalmente desde lo literario, privilegian el diseño de escenarios bélicos, de conflicto, espacios de dolor y vejaciones sufridas por los soldados argentinos en 1982.
Este artículo restringe su análisis a un tratamiento literario del tema y analiza la representación del espacio en textos que aportan configuraciones del escenario isleño según los tres tipos posibles de modelos de mundo propuestos por Tomás Albaladejo (1992): la realidad efectiva, lo ficcional verosímil y lo ficcional no verosímil, con las diferentes variantes que se registran en relación con el espacio representado y, sobre todo, las distintas intencionalidades a las que obedece cada forma de reconstrucción literaria. Se espera así realizar un aporte que enriquezca las representaciones sociales sobre Malvinas, a partir de la espacialidad.
Planning comparison of imrt versus vmat techniques for boost treatments during breast cancer radiotherapy
Authors: M 1 Thirumal
Published: October 2022

In this study, the IMRT and VMAT boost plans for 10 left-sided breast cancer patients were analysed using DVH parameters and treatment delivery parameters. Before treatments, IMRT and VMAT plans were made for every patient and they were evaluated qualitatively by noting the dose distributions slice-by-slice and then quantitatively by analysing various DVH parameters. The results were noted and statistically analysed for the significant differences in the mean values.It was noted that the VMAT plans resulted in significantly higher mean doses as well as higher near-maximum doses. The doses to the Heart, contralateral breast, contralateral lung, were found to be statistically similar in both techniques. However, the mean doses to the ipsilateral lung were significantly lesser in IMRT techniques.  Similarly, the IMRT technique gave lesser low dose volume V5%(%) than that of VMAT. In contrast, VMAT plans required significantly less MUs per fraction as compared to IMRT plansIt is concluded that both IMRT and VMAT plans resulted in good conformation of dose with homogenous dose distribution, depending on dose-volume tolerance of the ipsilateral lung being exceeded or not, and on compliance issues of the patient during treatment, the final decision of choosing the technique is to be made.
Rationalization of radiation dose
Authors: Nejaim Yuri , De Faria Vasconcelos Karla , Roque-Torres Gina D , Meneses-López Abraham , Bóscolo Frab Norberto , Haiter-Neto Francisco
Published: October 2022

Currently there is a great acceptance in medicine and dentistry that clinical practice should be “evidence-based” as much as possible. That is why multiple works have been published aimed at decreasing radiation doses in the different types of imaging modalities used in dentistry, since the greater effect of radiation, especially in children, forces us to take necessary measures to rationalize its use, especially with Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT), the method that provides the highest doses in dentistry. This review was written using such an approach with the purpose of rationalizing the radiation dose in our patients. In order to formulate recommendations that contribute to the optimization of the use of ionizing radiation in dentistry, the SEDENTEXCT project team compiled and analyzed relevant publications in the literature, guidelines that have demonstrated their efficiency in the past, thus helping to see with different perspectives the dose received by patients, and with this, it is recommended taking into account this document so as to prescribe more adequately the complementary examinations that we use on a daily basis.
Multi-target UAV miniature staring hyperspectral imager radiation correction
Authors: Li Changchun , Wang Yanjie , Ma Chunyan , Ma Xiaoxiao , Wang Shuangting
Published: October 2022

The micro staring hyperspectral imager can simultaneously acquire two spatial and one spectral images, and only record the external orientation elements of the entire hyperspectral image rather than the external orientation elements of each frame of the image, which avoids the geometric instability during scanning, effectively solves the problem of large geometric deformation of the small line scanning hyperspectral imager, and is suitable for the small UAV load platform with unstable attitude. At present, most of the research focuses on the radio-metric correction method of line scan hyperspectral imager. The application time of staring hyperspectral imager is short, and there is no mature data processing re-search at home and abroad, which hinders the application of UAV micro staring hyperspectral imaging system. In this paper, the calibration method of the linearity and variability of the radiation response of the micro staring hyperspectral imager on the UAV is studied, and the effectiveness of this method is quantitatively evaluated. The results show that the hyperspectral image has obvious vignetting effect and strip phenomenon before the correction of radiation response variability. After the correction, the radiation response variation coefficient of pixels in different bands decreases significantly, and the vignetting effect and image strip decrease significantly. In this paper, a multi-target radiometric calibration method is proposed, and the accuracy of radiometric calibration is verified by comparing the calibrated hyperspectral image spectrum with the measured ground object spectrum of the ground spectrometer. The results show that the calibration results of the multi-target radiometric calibration method show better results, especially for the near-infrared band, and the difference with the surface reflectance measured by the spectrometer is small.
A dual-model-based inversion method for integrated aperture radiometer imaging
Authors: Chen Jianfei , Zhu Li , Li Yuehua
Published: October 2022

To address the problem that the imaging inversion method based on a single model in integrated aperture imaging is difficult to effectively correct model errors and perform accurate image reconstruction, a dual-model (DM)-based integrated aperture imaging inversion method is proposed for correcting the parametric errors of the inversion model and performing highly accurate millimeter-wave image reconstruction of the target scene. In view of the different parameter sensitivities of the Fourier transform (MFFT) model and the G-matrix (GM) model, the proposed DM method first corrects the imaging parameters with errors accurately by comparing the reconstruction errors of the two models; then recon-structs a high-precision target image based on the accurate GM model with the help of an improved regularization method. It is proved by simulation experiments that the proposed DM method can effectively correct the parameter errors of the imaging model and reconstruct the target scene with high accuracy in millimeter wave images compared with the traditional single-model imaging method.

Authors: Ferreira Luis Mariano , La Mura Antonio Ricardo , Álvarez José , Giménez Ruiz Patricio , Diluca Pablo , Ehyeremendi Eduardo
Published: October 2022

Imaging technology plays a key role in guiding endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysm, especially in the complex thoracoabdominal aorta. The combination of high quality images with a sterile and functional environment in the surgical suite can reduce contrast and radiation exposure for both patient and operator, in addition to better outcomes. This presentation aims to describe the current use of this technique, combining angiotomography and intraoperative cone beam computed tomography, image “fusion” and intravascular ultrasound, to guide procedures and thus improve the intraoperative success rate and reduce the need for reoperation. On the other hand, a procedure is described to create customized 3D templates with the high-definition images of the patient’s arterial anatomy, which serve as specific guides for making fenestrated stents in the operating room. These customized fenestration templates could expand the number of patients with complex aneurysms treated minimally invasively.

Authors: Simancas-Pallares Miguel , Arévalo-Tovar Luisa , Díaz-Caballero Antonio
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Periodontal disease affects more than half of the population in Colombia and is estimated to be one of the leading causes of oral morbidity. Diagnostic aids that allow the evaluation of its extension and severity are of importance since this will provide reliable tools to quantify the severity of the problem. Objective: To determine the inter-examiner agreement for the detection of radiographic findings in patients with localized chronic periodontitis using conventional periapical radiography. Methods: Study of diagnostic tests including patients with localized chronic periodontitis, the tooth with the worst clinical insertion level and a single conventional radiograph per dental organ using parallelism technique. The radiographic evaluations were performed by two independent and blinded evaluators for the findings: lamina dura, bone defects and type of defect. The agreement obtained was estimated through Cohen’s Kappa. Results: A total of 125 radiographs were taken. The mean age was 38.8 ± 9.9, and 61.6% were women. Concordance for lamina dura was 0.08 (95% CI: -0.04–0.21), bone defects 1.00 (95% CI: 1.00–1.00); type of defect present 0.31 (95% CI: 0.29–0.38). Conclusions: Concordance was evaluated as null, almost perfect and acceptable for the findings lamina dura, presence of bone defects and type of defect respectively. For some findings and given the importance of the diagnostic and therapeutic processes, more accurate evaluations are needed which would result in a higher degree of agreement.

Published: October 2022

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results and complications of arthroscopic subcapital realignment osteotomy for the treatment of chronic and stable proximal femoral epiphysiolysis (PFE) in an initial series of patients. According to the literature review, the study presents the first description of an arthroscopic technique of this type of osteotomy. Methods: Between June 2012 and December 2014, seven patients underwent arthroscopic subcapital realignment osteotomy for the treatment of chronic, stable PFE. The mean age of the patients was 11 years and four months. Minimum follow-up ranged from 6 to 36 months (mean, 16.5 months). Patients were clinically evaluated according to the Harris Hip Score modified by Byrd and radiographically according to Southwick’s quantitative classification and the epiphyseal-diaphyseal angle. Postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: With regard to the evaluation of the Harris Hip Score Modified by Byrd clinical score, a preoperative mean of 35.8 points and a postoperative mean of 97.5 points were observed (p < 0.05). Radiographically, five patients were classified as Southwick grade II and two as grade III. A mean correction of the epiphyseal-diaphyseal angle of 40° was observed. There were no immediate postoperative complications. One patient developed avascular necrosis of the femoral head, without collapse or chondrolysis at the last follow-up (22 months). Conclusion: The arthroscopic technique presented by the authors for the treatment of chronic, stable PFE resulted in clinical and radiographic improvement of the patients in this initial series.

Published: October 2022

The human brain has been described as a complex system. Its study by means of neurophysiological signals has revealed the presence of linear and nonlinear interactions. In this context, entropy metrics have been used to uncover brain behavior in the presence and absence of neurological disturbances. Entropy mapping is of great interest for the study of progressive neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of this study was to characterize the dynamics of brain oscillations in such disease by means of entropy and amplitude of low frequency oscillations from Bold signals of the default network and the executive control network in Alzheimer’s patients and healthy individuals, using a database extracted from the Open Access Imaging Studies series. The results revealed higher discriminative power of entropy by permutations compared to low-frequency fluctuation amplitude and fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations. Increased entropy by permutations was obtained in regions of the default network and the executive control network in patients. The posterior cingulate cortex and the precuneus showed differential characteristics when assessing entropy by permutations in both groups. There were no findings when correlating metrics with clinical scales. The results demonstrated that entropy by permutations allows characterizing brain function in Alzheimer’s patients, and also reveals information about nonlinear interactions complementary to the characteristics obtained by calculating the amplitude of low frequency oscillations.

Authors: Hötker Andreas , Donati Olivio F.
Published: October 2022

Clinical/methodological problem: The identiﬁcation of clinically signiﬁcant prostate carcinomas while avoiding overdiagnosis of low-malignant tumors is a challenge in routine clinical practice. Standard radiologic procedures: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate acquired and interpreted according to PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System Guidelines) is accepted as a clinical standard among urologists and radiologists. Methodological innovations: The PI-RADS guidelines have been newly updated to version 2.1 and, in addition to more precise technical requirements, include individual changes in lesion assessment. Performance: The PI-RADS guidelines have become crucial in the standardization of multiparametric MRI of the prostate and provide templates for structured reporting, facilitating communication with the referring physician. Evaluation: The guidelines, now updated to version 2.1, represent a refinement of the widely used version 2.0. Many aspects of reporting have been clarified, but some previously known limitations remain and require further improvement of the guidelines in future versions.

Authors: Porto Lílian Santuza Santos , Tavares Júnior Wilson Campos , Costa Dário Alves da Silva , Lanna Cristina Costa Duarte , Kakehasi Adriana Maria
Published: October 2022

Introduction: the presence of anti-CCP is an important prognostic tool for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but its relationship with the activity of the disease and functional capacity is still being investigated. Objectives: to study the relationship between anti-CCP and the indices of disease activity, functional capacity and structural damage, by means of conventional radiography (CR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in stabilized RA. Methods: cross-sectional study of RA patients with one to 10 years of disease. The participants were subjected to clinical evaluation with anti-CCP screening. Disease activity was assessed by means of the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and functional capacity by means of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). CR was analyzed by the Sharp van der Heijde index (SmvH) and MRI by the Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Image Scoring System (RAMRIS). Results: 56 patients were evaluated, with median (IIq) of 55 (47.5–60.0) years, 50 (89.3%) were female among whom 37 (66.1%) were positive for anti-CCP. The median (IIq) of CDAI, HAQ, SmvH and RAMRIS were 14.75 (5.42–24.97), 1.06 (0.28–1.75), 2 (0–8) and 15 (7–35), respectively. There was no association between anti-CCP and CDAI, HAQ, SmvH and RAMRIS. Conclusion: our results did not establish the association of anti-CCP with the severity of the disease. So far, we cannot corroborate the anti-CCP as a prognostic tool in RA established.

Study duration was 49 ± 15 minutes, volume injected 26 ± 16 cm3 and pain scale 30 ± 19 out of 100. Sensitivity and specificity of HSG-MRI were 100% for global and left Cotte test, and 25% and 93.3% for right Cotte test, respectively. There were 2 minor complications and no major complications. Discussion: our initial results demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity. Although other studies analyzed the ability of HSG-MRI to assess tubal patency with good results, the use of a flawed reference standard left room for reasonable doubt, preventing a recommendation based on solid evidence. However, when comparing our results with those published, we observed a high degree of concordance insofar as the positive effusion is correctly diagnosed with a specificity of 100% or with a percentage close to this figure.
Structural discrepancy of the TMJ disc and joint capsule on magnetic resonance imaging. Literature review
Authors: Kusch Anne-Marie , Sovero Gaspar Abell
Published: October 2022

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is considered a bicondylar diarthrosis type joint. Imaging evaluation is a fundamental part of its assessment, which should include both bony and soft tissue characteristics and the relationship between them. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents the gold standard for the study of soft tissues; however, up to now, its main application continues to be the visualization of the articular disc. For this reason, the present article aimed to point out the information available in the literature regarding the visualization of the joint capsule in MRI and to evaluate it as an independent structure.
Design of remote sensing-based geographic information system
Authors: Yang Chuandong
Published: October 2022

To deal with problems of traditional geographic information collection, such as low real-time, poor authenticity of the data, and unclear description of detailed areas, a design scheme of remote sensing-based geographic information system is proposed. The system mainly consists of information collection, imaging processing, data storage management, scene control and data transmission module. By use of remote sensing technology, the reflected and radiated electromagnetic waves of the target area are collected from a long distance to form an image, and the hue–intensity–saturation (HIS) transformation method is used to enhance the image definition. Weighted fusion algorithm is adopted to process the details of the image. The spatial database stores and manages the text and image data respectively, and establishes the attribute self-correlation mechanism to render the ground objects in the picture with SketchUp software. Finally, using RS422 protocol to transmit information can achieve the effect of multi-purpose, and enhance the anti-interference of the system. The experimental results show that the practical experience of the proposed system is excellent, the geographic information image presented is clear, and the edge details are clearly visible, which can provide users with effective geographic information data.

Authors: Núñez Manuel Ramírez , Vargas EA Mora
Published: October 2022

This article presents a methodology to perform quality analysis on the cadastral map, based on the tools provided by open (public or free) license geographic information systems (GIS). The errors presented in the cadastral map have a direct impact on the information systems, which can lead to erroneous decisions and to an increase in the costs of maintenance and updating of spatial data. The methodology developed was used and tested by Costa Rica’s Cadastre and Registry Regularization Program; as a product of this program, a continuous cadastral map has been created for Costa Rica, on which cadastral and registry transactions will be processed within the National Registry of Costa Rica. The methodology allows detecting, locating and classifying errors in the cadastral map for easily correcting, so that this map correctly represents the reality of the properties that conform it

Machine learning assisted droplet trajectories extraction in dense emulsions
Authors: Durve Mihir , Tiribocchi Andriano , Montessori Andrea , Lauricella Marco , Succi Sauro
Published: October 2022

This work analyzes trajectories obtained by YOLO and DeepSORT algorithms of dense emulsion systems simulated via lattice Boltzmann methods. The results indicate that the individual droplet’s moving direction is influenced more by the droplets immediately behind it than the droplets in front of it. The analysis also provide hints on constraints of a dynamical model of droplets for the dense emulsion in narrow channels.

Cancer is a common disease that people dread, and most of them fully believe that they will be sentenced to death along with the diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to set up a dietary survey and nutritional therapy pattern that can be used in Romania for patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, that will contribute to a better management of the mentioned disease cervical cancer. This diet therapy can help patients to recover easily from cervical cancer, prevent cancer weakening and weight loss, and to fight strenuous medical treatments that can further worsen their overall condition and quality of life. Furthermore, this nutrition intervention can reduce malnutrition outcomes and establishes a diet plan that makes easier for the patients to endure the symptoms and reduces the side effects of multiple cancer treatments. The backbone of our paper was the National Cancer Institute’s Nutritional PDQ (Physician Data Query), an american institute that conducts cancer screening and daily information of cancer researchers along with other recent literature sources.

COMPENSATION AND ABSOLUTE LIABILITY PRINCIPLE ON THE CASE OF AIR ASIA QZ 8501 AIRPLANE ACCIDENT 2014
Authors: Jovita Nurul Alifah , Rosmawati Rosmawati
Published: October 2022

This study investigates the issue of compensation based on the absolute responsibility principle in the Air Asia QZ 8501 airplane accident in 2014. This study uses normative juridical legal research with secondary data as primary data obtained through literature study. The results indicate a lack of clarity in the implementation of compensation as regulated in the National Aviation Law regarding the maximum amount of time required in insurance claims toward the heirs. Without a precise time limit, airlines and insurance companies will create many obstacles during the data collection process and the documents involved. It is recommended that the government strengthen the rules regarding the provisions in implementing compensation, especially related to the insurance claim process toward the heirs. In addition, it is also recommended for airlines and insurance companies to consistently set a precise time limit for the investigation and identification of the victims to speed up the issuance of the necessary documents from the Court. Keywords: Airplane Accident, Compensation, International Air Freight, Principle of Liability, Strict Liability.
PROTECTION OF CHILD REFUGEES UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
Authors: Azhari Sri Muliana , Kadir M. Ya’kub Aiyub
Published: October 2022

International law has a vital role in securing more excellent protection for refugee children. There are 82.4 million people fleeing war, violence, persecution, and human rights violations in 2020 globally, 42% of refugees are children under the age of 18. Therefore this study raised the question of what international conventions govern child refugees. This research uses normative research.The results found that the 1951 refugee convention and the 1967 protocol are international arrangements regulating refugee children. Simultaneously, the Convention on the right of Children (CRC) also offers more detailed and comprehensive legal guidelines on child care, including refugee children. Those two conventions have contributed to firm legal protection for child refugees, but there is also a weakness when a country only ratifies one of them. Thus, for legal certainty, a new legal instrument in the form of a convention on the rights of child refugees is needed to fulfill the rights of child refugees properly. Keywords: International protection, International refugee law, Child refugee.
