Pesnitve sodobnih slovenskih pesnic
Authors: Pavlič Darja
Published: September 2024

Among the literary genres that characterise Slovenian poetry, long poems have not been prominent, and especially not long poems written by women. In recent years, however, women poets have written a number of works that fit this label, demonstrating their great creative power. In this paper, I first discuss the theory and history of the long poem, devoting particular attention to the diversity of long poems in American poetry, and then analyse recent works by Nina Dragičević, Katja Gorečan and Kristina Hočevar by exploring the poetic processes and themes employed. All of the works under consideration belong to modernist and experimental poetry, and they are all characterised by hybridisation of genres and the dissemination of literature with other media. On a thematic level, they are linked by their treatment of various forms of violence in contemporary society.
Literarno-likovna medmedialnost v Cankarjevi zgodnji kratki prozi
Authors: Čeh Steger Jožica
Published: September 2024

The present contribution focuses on Cankar’s interest in the fine arts and in elements of literary-artistic intermediality in his early short prose. At the turn of the twentieth century, Cankar fervently acquired knowledge of works of fine art in Vienna, collaborated with Slovenian painters in the furnishing of books with artworks, and even used some artists as a source for his literary works. In the case of Jager’s secessionist furnishing of Cankar’s Vignettes 8 (1899), the ornamental covers and the vignettes of the opinionated Carniolan faun, a form of intermedial literary-artistic combination is presented in which literary and artistic expression complement each other in terms of both content and style. In the vignettes of the opinionated Carniolan faun, one recognises the hybrid pictorial metaphor and the linguistic-pictorial metaphor. Literary-artistic relations are contemplated in individual references to the fine arts, in the literary descriptions of paintings, in the literary protagonists, and at the level of the metaphorical transfer of stylistic elements of painting (contrast, ornamentation, contours, lines, two-dimensionality, etc.) to literary texts.

Published: September 2024

The article presents a database of 12,000 poems of Slovenian national liberation poetry from 1941 to 1945, created under the direction of Boris Paternu at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana in the 1970s, especially its overlooked and unused digital version, as evidenced by a computer printout of the catalogue from 1980 and 1981. This was one of the first contacts of Slovenian literature with computers. The webification of the collection has begun with the redigitisation of the catalogue. This will protect the sensitive unique material from destruction and greatly increase its usefulness, e.g., for stylometric analyses and for the identification of unauthorised verses on more than a thousand Slovenian partisan monuments.

Authors: Cheng Chun-Han , Hao Wen-Rui , Cheng Tzu-Hurng
Published: September 2024

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a major concern in clinical practice, particularly among high-risk patients with preexisting renal and cardiovascular conditions. Although periprocedural hydration has long been the primary approach for CI-AKI prevention, recent advancements have led to the development of novel approaches such as RenalGuard and contrast removal systems. This editorial explores these emerging approaches and highlights their potential for enhancing CI-AKI prevention. By incorporating the latest evidence into clinical practice, health-care professionals can more effectively maintain renal function and improve outcomes for patients undergoing contrast-enhanced procedures.
Cerebral perfusion in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion by dual post-labeling delays arterial spin labeling imaging
Authors: Zhang Gui-Rong , Zhang Yan-Yan , Liang Wen-Bin , Ding Dun
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Global and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) are unclear when the dual post-labeling delays (PLD) arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is used. Manual delineation of regions of interest for CBF measurement is time-consuming and laborious.

AIM

To assess global and regional CBF changes in patients with unilateral ICAO with the ASL-MRI perfusion technique.

METHODS

Twenty hospitalized patients with ICAO and sex- and age-matched controls were included in the study. Regional CBF was measured by Dr. Brain's ASL software. The present study evaluated differences in global, middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory, anterior cerebral artery territory, and Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) regions (including the caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, insula ribbon, internal capsule, and M1-M6) and brain lobes (including frontal, parietal, temporal, and insular lobes) between ICAO patients and controls at PLD 1.5 s and PLD 2.5 s.

RESULTS

When comparing CBF between ICAO patients and controls, the global CBF in ICAO patients was lower at both PLD 1.5 s and PLD 2.5 s; the CBF on the occluded side was lower in 15 brain regions at PLD 1.5 s, and it was lower in 9 brain regions at PLD 2.5 s; the CBF in the contralateral hemisphere was lower in the caudate nucleus and internal capsule at PLD 1.5 s and in M6 at PLD 2.5 s. The global CBF in ICAO patients was lower at PLD 1.5 s than at PLD 2.5 s. The ipsilateral CBF at PLD 1.5 s was lower than that at PLD 2.5 s in 15 regions, whereas the contralateral CBF was lower at PLD 1.5 s than at PLD 2.5 s in 12 regions. The ipsilateral CBF was lower than the contralateral CBF in 15 regions at PLD 1.5 s, and in M6 at PLD 2.5 s.

CONCLUSION

Unilateral ICAO results in hypoperfusion in the global and MCA territories, especially in the ASPECTS area. Dual PLD settings prove more suitable for accurate CBF quantification in ICAO.

Authors: Chiang Ping-Han , Ko Kai-Hsiung , Peng Yi-Jen , Huang Tsai-Wang , Tang Shih-En
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Primary hyperparathyroidism is typically caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. Ectopic parathyroid adenomas occur as well, with cases involving various sites, including the mediastinum, presenting in varying frequencies. Secondary hyperparathyroidism develops in the context of chronic kidney disease, primarily due to vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. It is frequently diagnosed in patients undergoing dialysis. This article presents a rare case of hyperparathyroidism involving multiple hyperplastic parathyroid glands with pulmonary seeding in a 50-year-old female patient undergoing hemodialysis (HD).

CASE SUMMARY

The patient had a history of parathyroidectomy 10 years prior but developed recurrent hyperparathyroidism with symptoms of pruritus and cough with sputum during a period of routine dialysis. Radiographic imaging revealed multiple nodules in both lungs, with the largest measuring approximately 1.35 cm. Surgical histopathology confirmed the presence of hyperplastic parathyroid glands within the pulmonary tissue. After tumor resection surgery via video-assisted thoracic surgery with wedge resection, the patient was discharged in stable condition and in follow-up her symptoms showed improvement.

CONCLUSION

This article describes hyperparathyroidism presenting as pulmonary nodules in a patient undergoing post-parathyroidectomy HD, highlighting diagnostic challenges and a positive outcome from tumor resection surgery.
Aptekarstwo polskie w świetle ustawodawstwa w latach 1944–1989
Authors: Żuk Anna

The nationalization of pharmacies in what was then Poland took place on the night of January 8–9, 1951, preceded by the enactment of the Act on the Acquisition of Pharmacies into State Ownership on January 8, 1951. The pharmacists, owners of private pharmacies, lost their pharmacies during nationalization, their property that had sometimes been built up over generations. The former owner was assigned a work order to another pharmacy. He could not refuse to work, since the penalties for obstructing the nationalization process and evading work were arrest and imprisonment. In addition to the loss of property, nationalized pharmacists and their families also suffered moral and intangible losses. Many pharmacists declined in health, dying within a few years with a sense of great injustice and harm. The nationalized pharmacists were left to fend for themselves, as on the same day, January 8, 1951, the abolition of the professional pharmacists’ selfgovernment took place under the Law on the Abolition of Pharmacy Chambers. This legal state of affairs continued for another 40 years, i.e. until 1991. But as early as 1987, the process of informal privatization of the pharmacy sector began. As a result of the process of privatization of pharmacies the former owners of pharmacies did not recover their property. In the early 1990s, the Supreme Audit Institution conducted an audit of the pharmacy privatization process, and in its report found numerous irregularities and a complete lack of transparency in the process. The audit found that the privatization process was “discretionary.” The sale of pharmacies was conducted “quickly and discreetly.” Instead of going to the rightful owners, the pharmacies went to people “with connections.”

Organizational solutions of the Soviet Union were used, as the country remained under the influence and control of the USSR.
Powstanie Polskiego Towarzystwa Gerontologicznego szansą na rozwój badań naukowych w zakresie gerontologii w okresie powojennym (do roku 1989)
Authors: Marcysiak Małgorzata
Published: September 2024

In the post-war period, the aging process of society progressed. This process may have contributed to health, social and economic problems. An interdisciplinary approach to these problems was necessary. This was reflected in gerontology. The interdisciplinarity of gerontology required the integration of specialists and scientists from various fields within scientific societies and conducting scientific research. In 1973, the Polish Society of Gerontology was established. It brought together representatives of various fields: sociologists, demographers, psychologists and doctors. This created an opportunity to undertake systematic research in the field of geriatrics and gerontology. The results of research carried out in various centers in Poland and abroad were presented during scientific meetings. Discussions were held, experiences were exchanged and directions for further research were established. The aim of the work was to understand the dynamics of the development of scientific research in the field of gerontology, with particular emphasis on the Polish Society of Gerontology.

Published: September 2024

In the paper history of development of the Polish research on neuro- muscular diseases in the period of the the Polish People’s Republic was presented. They were carried out mainly in the Department of Neurology at Warsaw Medical University headed by prof. Irena Hausmanowa- Petrusewicz and led to establishment of neuromiology as an independent subspecialty within the frames of clinical neurology, not only in Poland, but at international level as well. In Poland electromyography and histopathological examinations of sceletal muscles have been introduced to clinical practice throughout the country. Very valuable achievements were obtained in studies on muscular dystrophies, myotonia and muscular channelopathies in particular. The Department of Neurology delt also with various aspects of physiological ontogenetic development of muscular system. It was possible to reach to such significant results due to quite intensive international cooperation even despite very unfavourable political circumstances. Polish school of research on neuro-muscular diseases constitutes a striking example of “success despite all’’.
Malaria – występowanie, leczenie i zapobieganie chorobie na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939–1967 (wybrane zagadnienia)

Malaria is a life-threatening disease spread to humans by some types of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The infection is caused by a parasite. It is mostly found in tropical countries. Poland has been transformed from endemic country with huge epidemics (up to the middle of 60th years of the 20th century) into the country with sporadic imported malaria cases. The evolution of some attempts to improve the Malaria situation in Poland in the years 1939–1967 is reviewed with particular reference to the situation in occupied and immediately post-war Poland.
Zwierzęta takie jak my. Pet influencers a marka osobista - uwagi wstępne
Authors: Kosińska Olga
Published: September 2024

Pet influencers have been an increasingly important element of the online landscape for some time now. Posts published in their name on social media generate huge attention and develop a high numer of followers. In this context, the question arises whether the current definitions of the terms “influencer”and “personal brand” include non-human entities such as animals or virtual influencers? On the one hand, actions taken, for example, by owners on behalf of their pets are aimed at “giving them a voice”. On the other hand, it is not entirely possible, and ultimately the brand created around pets is a kind of resultant of the beliefs and values of the animal’s guardians and what the animal itself seems to convey through its actions and reactions. Based on the analysis of the content of pet influencers on Instagram, this text attempts to determine the models of the brand appropriate for animal profiles in social media. Five of them are distinguished – animals that create “their own corner”on the Internet, animals as alternative voices of their owners, anthropomorphized animals, involved in the area of fashion and random stars. At the present stage, it seems that although such pets can be called influencers, in terms of personal brand, the current definitions should be extended to include non-human entities. Internet activities do not currently allow pets to emancipate and develop independence from human control combined with care.

Authors: Balalan Zülküf , Yaz Mehmet , Buldağ Sedat
Published: September 2024

The temperature at the weld region increased in parallel with the friction time. Increasing the friction time ensured the formation of a stronger weld. The highest tensile stress and elongation value were seen in the S3 weld sample, which had the highest friction time. The lowest tensile stress and elongation values were determined in the S1 weld sample with the lowest friction time. S2 and S3 weld samples were broken as ductile during the tensile test, while S1 weld sample was broken as a mixture of brittle and ductile. The hardness value at the weld interface decreased with an increase in the friction time. It has been observed that the width and shape of the excessively deformed region on both sides of the joint interface changed depending on the friction time.

Published: September 2024

O ambiente laboral, exaustivo e precarizado, juntamente com complicações metabólicas decorrentes de um estilo de vida inadequado, realçam os níveis altíssimos de morbimortalidade entre os trabalhadores da saúde. Investigar a malha urbana da cidade, espaço onde vive, a distância até o trabalho, meios e tempo de locomoção são importantes para entender como a malha urbana impacta e é impactada pelo contexto social e individual. O objetivo do presente artigo foi analisar variáveis antropométricas e comportamentais, de acordo com o tipo de transporte até o trabalho de trabalhadores de um Hospital Escola do Sul do Brasil e propor uma discussão sobre o espaço urbano e suas infraestruturas em relação ao deslocamento até o trabalho. Foram avaliados 417 servidores, com média de idade de 49 anos. A amostra é dividida por 65,5% (n=273) do sexo feminino e 34,5% (n = 144) do masculino. Em relação à escolaridade, 69,9% possuíam ensino superior completo. O tempo médio de trabalho no hospital foi de 18,67 ± 7,08 anos, sendo que somente 24,94% dos trabalhadores foram considerados fisicamente ativos e 73,38% utilizam o carro como meio de transporte até o trabalho, levando em média 15 minutos de deslocamento. Dentre as variáveis elencadas no estudo, quando comparadas entre o tipo de transporte ativo e passivo, somente tempo de sono (p=0,034) e glicemia (p=0,024) apresentaram diferença significativa entre os grupos. O espaço urbano tem um papel fundamental no bem-estar físico, psicológico e social dos trabalhadores da saúde, que desempenham um papel vital no atendimento da população. Quando esses profissionais se deslocam para o trabalho, é essencial que encontrem um ambiente urbano que proporciona segurança, conforto, conveniência e acessibilidade.
A Case of Spontaneous Uterine Fundus Rupture in Term Pregnancy: As A Risk Factor of Septum Resection Operation
Authors: Yıldız Ayşe Gizem , Dilbaz Kübra
Published: September 2024

Uterine septum is the most common Mullerian anomaly. Hysteroscopic surgeries offer increased fertility rates caused by Mullerian anomalies. Uterine rupture after hysteroscopic septum resection is a rare complication with a reported incidence of approximately 1-2,7%. Uterine rupture in pregnancy is a life-threatening complication. The primary risk factors for uterine rupture after a previous cesarean birth are previous uterine rupture. Also hysteroscopic surgeries such as septum resection are known risk factors for uterine rupture in pregnancy following the operation. In this report, a patient with a history of hysteroscopic septum resection due to uterine septum presented to our hospital at 37 weeks of gestation due to spontaneous premature rupture of membranes. After the procedure, the patient, who had her first pregnancy, but she had a history of previous cesarean section, was taken to emergency cesarean section. On observation, uterine rupture at the fundus level, which can be considered as a late complication of septum resection, was detected. In this case, we aimed to emphasize uterine rupture, which is an important complication that may occur in pregnancies after a history of septum resection. In rarely, uterine rupture may occur in pregnancies after hysteroscopic resection of the uterine septum. But there is no consensus on the management of pregnancies after hysteroscopic operations. Until more reliable methods are available, patients should be informed about the possible symptoms of uterine rupture and the physician should be aware of fetal and maternal well-being.

Published: September 2024

Pharmacological properties of ginger include anticancer, antiulcer, spermicidal, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-neuroinflammatory, and anti-vomiting effects when used in chemotherapy. In this work, female Wistar albino rats were used as test subjects to examine the antifertility effects of an ethanolic and aqueous extract of Zingiber officinale rhizomes. Anti-fertility activity of both the extracts were carried out in female Wistar rats at the both doses (200mg/kg & 400mg/kg) by evaluating number of implants on day 10, number of pups born and level of hormones (LH, FSH).To know the exact mechanism of action uterotropic assay was carried out in which, the estrogenic effects of EEZO were further observed by administering it to the female immature Wistar albino rats and parameters evaluated were vaginal cornification, uterine weight, body weight, histopathology of uterus and biochemical parameter(Estrogen). Alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, terpenoids, and resins are among the phyto-constituents found in the two extracts, according to phytochemical research. The number of implants (P<0.001) and pups born (P<0.0001) significantly decreases as a result of the anti-fertility activity. The greatest 50% reduction in pregnancies was seen in rats treated with EEZO.The most powerful extract, EEZO, was investigated for its oestrogenic effects; results included increased body and uterine weight, vaginal cornification, and uterine proliferation. Hormonal and biochemical tests confirmed the previous findings demonstrating the oestrogenic potential of EEZO, which may be connected to the phytoestrogen (quercetin) content of the plant.It was observed that Zingiber officinale extracts had a strong oestrogenic and abortifacient effect. This could be because the extract contains zingiberene, a sesquiterpene called phytoestrogen (quercetin).

Published: September 2024

In this letter we discuss computing in terms of Gaisi Takeuti's quantum set theory using an explicit example of a rigid body of cuboid form. The universe V(L) of Takeuti will be determined. A set of real numbers in this Universe are also explicitly described including a set of binary numbers. Thus we arrive at the foundations of von Neumann' theory of computing in terms of ordinary binary numbers. Then we see that this extension of computing to the Universe V(L) provides a sound, mathematically well defined theory of quantum computing.

Published: September 2024

Understanding Martian landscapes is crucial for unraveling the mysteries of Mars' seasonal frost cycle and its implications on the planet's climate over the last 2 billion years. Discriminating images depicting frost or background in Martian territory are crucial to identifying low latitude frosted microclimates, offering valuable insights into climate patterns and surface evolution. Accurate classification of these images is paramount in understanding Martian climate dynamics. This work proposes a comprehensive system to build classifiers that distinguish images of Martian terrain from frost. The dataset, sourced from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL Open Repository), California Institute of Technology, NASA, provides a rich repository of Martian images, forming the foundation for our classification endeavors. Neural networks are adept at capturing complex patterns and subtle features within image data, making them well-suited for discerning the nuances associated with Martian terrain. The proposed CNN+MLP architecture employs convolutional layers for feature extraction, capturing spatial hierarchies in the images, followed by MLP layers for further abstraction and classification.

Published: September 2024

New generation techniques are emerging in museum exhibitions. These technologies include advanced technologies such as 3D animation, VR/augmented reality, robots, artificial intelligence, and face reconstruction. Museums undertake large projects where different disciplines work together harmoniously.
The use of face reconstruction and artificial intelligence in New Generation Museum Projects is quite common around the world. In the post-truth era, museums, in order to maintain their identities, use artificial intelligence to reformat their archaeological findings by identifying them.
Museum collections use facial recognition using the face reconstruction technique. Collections have become new interactive presentations that speak to visitors simultaneously with facial expressions, sound, and movement effects, directing them, and calling themselves "bugs." Even individuals freely participate in the experience of these museum works. Technology will continue to bring us new developments beyond the reality of three-dimensional, five-sensory reality outside museum showcases.
Are the museums still the home of source of inspiration? Are they still evaluated again and again like former, or else are they place which have old, broken-down ruins, hovels or shambles? In this article, we try to find an answer for these questions. In 2024, the year which advancement of technology is at a good point, museums exhibitions are places which new technological developments are used in museums. With this purpose, increase in the number of new projects in museums is seen. A lot of areas of profession of different disciplines is obliged to work together.

The acceleration of development between regions in order to equalize welfare continues to be carried out by the government. One of the sectors that is able to increase the equality of welfare is the tourism sector. The tourism sector continues to be developed, especially those based on community empowerment, one of which is the formation of many tourist villages. Tourist villages are one of the strengths to empower the community while also being able to improve their welfare. Banjaroyo Tourism Village is one of the oldest villages in Kulonprogo Regency. However, according to data released by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the number of visits to this tourist village is ranked third in 2023. So it is necessary to explore the potential and resources it has to create competitive advantages. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential resources owned by tourist villages in an effort to create competitive advantages compared to other tourist villages. The large number of tourist villages means that each manager or administrator of a tourist village must be able to find valuable resources, rare resources, resources that are difficult to imitate, resources that are difficult to replace and resources that can be managed in order to form sustainable competitive advantages. This competitive advantage is what can differentiate one tourist village from another. In addition, with the resources it has, Banjaroyo Tourism Village is able to form and create sustainable competitive advantages compared to other tourism villages. The creation of this competitive advantage is able to increase the number of tourist visits and also improve and equalize community welfare.

The paper reviews related concepts, a few theories, and empirical to explore dividend mechanisms, analysis, and impact on a firm’s growth. Secondary data was retrieved from annual reports of fifteen (15) non-finance listed firms in the Nigeria Stock Exchange (officially Nigeria Exchange Group; during the fiscal periods of 2010 to 2022). A judgmental research sampling design was adopted to assess the variables using a panel data regression technique via Ordinary Least Square model, to estimate the specified equation. To observe the relationship between the dependent (explained); Dividend Payout (DIP) and selected independent (explanatory) variables; Earnings Yield of Firms Value (EYV) Data, Aggregate Asset Share prices (ASP) of firms, Market Value Added Firm Value (MVAA), Tobin Performance Data (TOBQ) and Price to Revenue Firm Valuation (PRV). Prob (Fstat.) at 0.000 proves that the logged exogenous variables are significant. T-statistic values show that logmarket value (0.000000) logearnings yield (eyv; -5.45), logprv (-0.504126), and logtobq (0.000000) are insignificant (at 5%). Interestingly, the R-squared and the Adjusted R-squared result of the logged independent variables both present a 100% estimate, depicting significance in the regressed model. However, policy implications and recommendations are anchored on the need to practically improve non-finance listed firms in the NSE by addressing the problems of agency cost, high tax rates on dividends, insider- information factors, unaccountable dividend payouts, balance sheet discrepancies amongst other macro-economic indicators that can threaten the development of non-finance quoted firms. All hands (researchers, analysts, policymakers) must be on deck in the areas of share price reactions, market base and performance as well as the under-development of the stock market as arguments of dividend irrelevance will remain a puzzle in the long run be it accepted or rejected.

The hospitality industry, particularly in emerging tourism destinations, faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices that align with global environmental and social standards. This study investigate the existing level of corporate sustainability adoption by tourist hotels in Sri Lanka. Through a case study approach, the research investigates the extent to which these hotels have integrated sustainable practices into their operations, including economic, socio-cultural and environmental practices. Quantitative method was employed as the research method and questionnaire survey method has been utilized to collect the required data. 247 questionnaires were distributed among the registered tourist hotels & a representative of the top management was invited to fill the questionnaire from each hotel. 213 questionnaires received and 207 completed questionnaires were used for data analysis and the mean ranking technique was employed by using the SPSS software. The findings revealed a significant emphasis on environmental sustainability initiatives by these tourist hotels. This prioritization aligns with broader trends observed in developing nations, where businesses tend to focus more on environmental aspects than on socio-cultural and economic dimensions. The dominance of environmental practices in the sustainability efforts of Sri Lanka’s tourist hotels underscores the sector’s commitment to addressing ecological concerns, a trend corroborated by previous academic research. These insights contribute to the understanding of how sustainability is implemented in different contexts, particularly in developing countries, and suggest a need for a more balanced approach that equally considers all dimensions of sustainability. Finally, this study provides practical insights for policymakers, hotel managers, and stakeholders aiming to enhance the sustainability of the tourism sector in Sri Lanka. The implications of this study suggest that needful support and capacity-building initiatives are essential to fostering widespread adoption of sustainability practices across the industry, ensuring long-term environmental stewardship, socio-cultural and economic resilience.

O Banco de Dentes Humanos, do Centro de Ciências da Saúde, da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, foi criado no ano de 2010 para atender a demanda histórica de utilização de dentes humanos nas atividades acadêmicas do curso de Odontologia. Biobanco é uma coleção organizada de material biológico humano e informações associadas, coletado e armazenado para fins de pesquisa, conforme regulamento ou normas técnicas, éticas e operacionais pré-definidas, sob responsabilidade e gerenciamento institucional, sem fins comerciais (RESOLUÇÃO Nº 441, 2011). Em 2023, o Biobanco de Dentes Humanos (BDH) da UFPB foi aprovado pela Comissão Nacional de Ética e Pesquisa (CONEP). Para implementação e manutenção das ações propostas pelo BDH do CCS/UFPB, contamos com o projeto de extensão “AÇÕES DE EXTENSÃO NO BANCO DE DENTES HUMANOS-CCS-UFPB” que se mostra como instrumento valioso de alcance às diversas esferas envolvidas no processo: comunidade externa em geral, docentes, discentes de graduação e pós-graduação, cirurgiões-dentistas.

A imortalidade perseguida desde os primórdios da humanidade ainda não é uma realidade, mas já existe conhecimento disponível ao homem comum para minimizar a decadência e a degeneração do corpo, retardar o processo de envelhecimento e viver muito além do que se vive atualmente com saúde e vitalidade. Diversos estudos científicos têm apresentado resultados significativos sobre o que é necessário fazer em termos de mudança no estilo de vida para aumentar a longevidade. O presente artigo realizou o levantamento de alguns destes estudos, possibilitou apresentar algumas estratégias fundamentadas na ciência para elevar o tempo de vida das pessoas com qualidade e encarar o problema da finitude humana. Traz ainda alguns testes que permitem se fazer uma avaliação ou diagnóstico da diferença existente entre idade cronológica e idade biológica, a partir dos quais se pode elaborar um plano de vida para viver mais e melhor.
The Effect of Virtual Reality Game Training on Fear of Falling and Quality of Life After Subacute Ischemic Stroke

Introduction: Fear of falling after a stroke can be caused by a lack of balance, muscle weakness, or impaired motor control. This can affect a patient's ability to move around and their overall quality of life after a stroke. However, virtual reality (VR) technology has the potential to help with this issue by providing simulated physical exercises that are safe and controlled. By combining VR rehabilitation with conventional stroke care, it's possible to improve a patient's ability to move around safely and their quality of life after a stroke.Methods: An experimental study was conducted on 18 ischemic post-stroke patients who sought treatment at the Medical Rehabilitation Installation of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from June to July 2023. The study aimed to analyze the impact of VR game training using Xbox 360° and KinectTM devices on fear of falling and post-stroke quality of life. The assessment of fear of falling was done using the Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) and quality of life using the EQ-5D. The intervention included four types of game exercises scheduled three times per week, with each session lasting 30 minutes with a total of eight sessions for each subject.Results: Following VR game training, there was a significant reduction in fear of falling (t = 15.353, p less than 0.001) and an improvement in quality of life across five dimensions of health problems as well as EQ-5D (t = 23.777, p less than 0.001).Conclusion: VR game training combined with conventional stroke care can reduce the fear of falling and improve the quality of life of post-stroke patients.
Infección protésica articular. Avances diagnósticos y selección de candidatos en la estrategia de retención del implante

Para el manejo adecuado de la infección de prótesis articular (IPA) es imprescindible un diagnóstico preciso y rápido y un tratamiento ejecutado por equipos expertos. La IPA es tan compleja por la forma de organizarse los microorganismos en la superficie de las prótesis ortopédicas: por el biofilm. Estas estructuras representan un modo protegido de crecimiento que permiten la supervivencia de las bacterias en entornos hostiles y dificultan en gran medida el diagnóstico de IPA ya que sitúan a los microorganismos responsables en fenotipo sésil en las capas más profundas. A pesar de todos los avances en tecnología diagnóstica, todavía nos enfrentamos con relativa frecuencia a casos de infección protésica con cultivos negativos. El primero de los trabajos de la Tesis es un trabajo de revisión y puesta al día en los nuevos métodos de diagnóstico en IPA, prestando especial atención a las nuevas tecnologías de diagnóstico molecular como la NGS (Next Generation Sequencing), herramientas a priori con potencial para revolucionar el diagnóstico de la IPA en complemento a las técnicas convencionales de cultivo. En el segundo de los trabajos es analizada la técnica de identificación MALDITOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry) demostrando precisión y rapidez en obtención de resultados cuando fue aplicada sobre fluido de sonicación de implantes inoculado en medios líquidos automatizados. En el tercer trabajo hallamos en nuestra serie 3 factores de riesgo que mostraron correlación con el fracaso del DAIR. Estos fueron una PCR superior a 30mg/l, una cirugía inicial por causa distinta a la artrosis y aquellos desbridamientos realizados sobre prótesis de revisión, tres predictores que habrán de ser tomados muy en cuenta a la hora de aplicar o no un desbridamiento. El rendimiento de un modelo pronóstico desarrollado a partir de técnicas de deep learning fue aplicado en nuestros pacientes de forma retrospectiva ofreciendo cifras de precisión moderada. El último de los trabajos se centra en la controvertida cuestión de los DAIR iterativos, es decir, qué hacer en el supuesto caso de que un primer desbridamiento fracase. En nuestra serie, los segundos DAIR no sólo mostraron una tasa inaceptable de éxito (8%), sino que su ejecución y posterior fracaso arrastró graves secuelas y ensombreció el pronóstico en todos aquellos pacientes en los que se llevó a cabo. En base estos datos, ante el fracaso de un primer DAIR recomendamos cambiar a una estrategia de revisión del implante.
