Huellas epicúreas en el pensamiento de Lorenzo Valla
Authors: Vilar Mariano Alejandro
Published: December 2017

En su diálogo titulado De vero bono, Lorenzo Valla cuestiona la admiración de los principios morales paganos por parte de sus contemporáneos. Con este propósito presenta un orador epicúreo que defiende la voluptas en contraposición al elogio estoico de la honestas. En las últimas décadas la crítica ha enfatizado el hecho de que el conocimiento del epicureísmo por parte de Valla era muy limitado al redactar esta obra, y también que su propósito no consistió en defender los postulados de esta escuela filosófica, sino en utilizarlos como un medio para lograr el objetivo de desestimar la importancia de la ética pagana en relación con la vida cristiana. Sin embargo, un análisis de aquellos puntos en los que el De vero bono de hecho se aproxima a las tesis epicúreas y de cómo algunas de las ideas allí presentadas se continúan en sus Dialecticae disputationes y en su Apologia permite observar que existieron aspectos de su obra inspirados en una visión positiva del filósofo de Samos.
Dall'Appendicismo al Post-moderno al Neo-appendicismo. Letteratura e narrazioni televisive.
Authors: Pischedda Bruno
Published: December 2017

L’importanza che stanno assumendo ai nostri giorni le serie o stagioni televisive, non deve far dimenticare la “stagione” originaria da cui tutte discendono: vale a dire l’appendicismo ottocentesco, il settantennio del romanzo popolare, del feuilleton da reperirsi sulle pagine dei giornali. È questo un momento fondamentale per il sistema letterario borghese, che vale da battistrada per la riformulazione in senso audiovisivo, cine-televisivo, di ciò che una volta era la narrazione scritta. Successi internazionali come Lost, Game of Thrones o True Detective stanno mettendo in evidenza una nuova autorialità, che agli espedienti un po’ raffazzonati degli appendicisti storici sa aggiungere una somma di competenze multimediali e una sapienza costruttiva decisamente più agguerrite. La scena letteraria tradizionale sembra impoverirsi di veri talenti; mentre si trasferiscono sullo schermo i nuovi maghi del racconto. Il perimetro letterario si riduce, perde livelli e sottolivelli estetico-funzionali; mentre la galassia seriale e televisiva si espande e mostra un aspetto sempre più stratificato. I rimpianti del letterato accademico producono ben poco: serve una nuova critica della Narratività post-gutenberghiana.
Tradizione ariostesca e memoria mitologica in "Menzogna e sortilegio" di Elsa Morante
Authors: Dell'Aia Lucia
Published: December 2017

Il saggio interpreta alcuni snodi fondamentali del romanzo Menzogna e sortilegio tenendo conto dei possibili rapporti fra il personaggio di Elisa e quello della maga Melissa del Furioso nel contesto più ampio del tema della magia e dei simulacri. Si interpreta sempre alla luce della tradizione ariostesca il tema della follia e la tecnica di narrazione del romanzo. Anche attraverso la simbologia dell’anello, si analizza la stratificazione mitologica del romanzo. Infine, grazie alle suggestioni del mito lunare e ad alcune annotazioni presenti sul manoscritto, si arriva a proporre anche una ipotesi di datazione delle vicende narrate nel romanzo.

La metáfora frutal y otras imágenes del amor en la narrativa de Jacinto Octavio Picón
Authors: Gutiérrez Díaz-Bernardo Esteban
Published: December 2017

El tema amoroso, con sus implicaciones de todo orden, constituye uno de los ejes cardinales de la producción narrativa de Jacinto Octavio Picón, patente sobre todo en su obra maestra, Dulce y sabrosa, pero también en varias novelas más y en muchos de sus relatos breves. A pesar de sus manifestaciones a favor de la representación directa y explícita de la relación erótica, lo cierto es que el autor se vale para plasmarla en sus textos de una rica y variada imaginería, que abarca no solo la metáfora frutal implícita en el título de la citada novela, sino muchas otras —la flor, la comida, la guerra, el libro…— que son estudiadas en las páginas que siguen.

Effect of Power Point Enhanced Teaching (Visual Input) on Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners’ Listening Comprehension Ability
Authors: Sehati Samira , Khodabandehlou Morteza
Published: December 2017

The present investigation was an attempt to study on the effect of power point enhanced teaching (visual input) on Iranian Intermediate EFL learners’ listening comprehension ability. To that end, a null hypothesis was formulated as power point enhanced teaching (visual input) has no effect on Iranian Intermediate EFL learners' listening comprehension ability. The participants of the study were 100 students at Kish language institute. After administrating an OPT test, 40 intermediate students were randomly selected and divided into control and experimental groups. Both groups participated in pretest of listening comprehension. The purpose of such a test was to measure the initial subject knowledge of participants in listening comprehension ability in both groups. Then the control group received no treatment while the experimental group received treatment based on power point enhanced teaching (visual input). The whole project took for 8 sessions. Finally both groups sat for the post test of listening comprehension ability. In the analysis phase of the study, the data collected from the control and experimental group was analyzed through SPSS software. ANCOVA was run to compare the results to find out whether there was any significant difference among the scores of two groups or not. It was found that students in experimental group performed significantly better than control group. So the null hypothesis as power-point enhanced teaching (visual input) does not have effect on Iranian Intermediate EFL learners’ listening comprehension ability was rejected. The result showed that power point enhanced teaching (visual input) had impact on subjects' listening comprehension ability. The findings of the present study are of value to all those involved in developing and designing listening materials for EFL learners, besides teachers, testers, and curriculum planners.
The Power of Qualitative Methods: Understanding the Puzzle of the Facility Programming Market
Authors: Popov Lubomir , Chompalov Ivan
Published: December 2017

The purpose of this paper is to make a case for the power of qualitative methodology as well as to demonstrate the contributions of qualitative methods in applied research and practice. As analytical material and as an illustration, we use a project where qualitative research methods produce more trustworthy and credible information about a phenomenon than did quantitative research methods. In the process of studying the market for research-based facility programming, we reflected on the heuristic potential and productivity of the methods that have been used traditionally. We made a comparative analysis of the survey and qualitative research designs when used for the study of situations that previously had not been researched or have rarely been researched. This study demonstrates a way of reasoning, grappling with the dilemma of “qualitative versus quantitative,” and reveals the decision making process, as well as some unexpected findings, in evaluating facility programming research. This paper contributes to promoting qualitative methodology in professional practice, in applied projects, and in industries that rely heavily on quantitative research designs.

Gestión del conocimiento y resultado económico en medianas empresas de Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras
Authors: Orellana Peña José Salomón , Josué Cruz Kevin
Published: December 2017

La investigación “Gestión del conocimiento y resultado económico en medianas empresas de Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras” tenía como objeto de estudio evaluar la influencia de la gestión del conocimiento en el desarrollo de las capacidades de aprendizaje y su incidencia en los resultados económicos en las medianas empresas en la ciudad de Santa Rosa de Copán. Los resultados afirman que estas empresas han servido para amortiguar el efecto de las crisis económicas causadas por los ciclos de negocios y como importantes fuentes de innovación y productividad , pero debido a su tamaño y a las fallas de mercado existentes no les permiten acceder a tecnologías, información, capitales y mercados. La investigación concluye que parte de la problemática enfrentada por las medianas empresas es la falta de conocimientos sobre los procesos competitivos, de producción y sistemas administrativos; estas empresas exhiben debilidades en la gestión del conocimiento tanto en sus formas financieras, competitivas y de mercado, perjudicando así la toma de decisiones oportunas a las mismas, adicionalmente la carencia de formación personal y grupal de las organizaciones naufraga en la evidencia de recursos humanos no calificados que no presentan programas formales de capacitación o aprendizaje organizacional adecuados para fomentar la sinergia de las acciones de las mismas. Así es evidente la pérdida de posición competitivas y de los ingresos percibidos como de aquellos resultados no económicos como el servicio al cliente y la satisfacción laboral en un estado no tan favorable en estas empresas.Revista Ciencia y Tecnología No.20, junio 2017; 143-156

Poder, território e discurso: os suábios do Danúbio em Guarapuava-PR
Authors: Da Silva Márcia , Boschiero Gilson Aparecido
Published: December 2017

O objetivo deste texto é apresentar uma leitura, dentre diversas possíveis, sobre os imigrantes denominados/autonominados de Suábios do Danúbio, que ocuparam parte do território do município de Guarapuava, no Paraná, bem como analisar os discursos produzidos e reproduzidos historicamente pelos próprios Suábios, pela sociedade e pela mídia locais, que congregaram, aos mesmos, trunfos de poder, associando-os a ideia de desenvolvimento local/regional. Os Suábios do Danúbio são originários do Sudeste da Europa, nas proximidades do rio Danúbio, e saíram compulsoriamente de suas terras para viver em campos de refugiados, na Áustria, após a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Em decorrência, diversas famílias inscreveram-se em projetos que visavam a imigração para outros países, sendo este o caso de 500 destas que foram aceitas para a criação de uma cooperativa agrícola no Brasil, a partir de incentivos governamentais, daí fixando-se, neste país, no município de Guarapuava. As reflexões sobre os conceitos de poder e de território ajudam a explicar as características da ocupação realizada pelo grupo, com a fundação da Cooperativa Agrária e a construção de cinco colônias (ao longo dos anos 1950) que, mais tarde, tornaram-se oficialmente o distrito de Entre Rios, de características peculiares à arquitetura e a cultura germânicas. Como procedimentos metodológicos foram realizadas entrevistas, observações in loco e análise de jornal impresso e de site de notícias locais, que nos levaram a resultados significativos sobre parte da história e da relação com o território deste grupo.
ANÁLISE DE UMA UNIDADE DIDÁTICA PARA ESTUDANTES INICIANTES DO CURSO DE PLE DO CELIN-UFPR
Authors: Perin Santos Jovania Maria
Published: December 2017

RESUMO: Este estudo se propõe a analisar uma unidade didática para alunos iniciantes - do nível Básico 1 - do curso de PLE (Português como Língua Estrangeira) elaborado por professores do Celin-UFPR (Centro de Línguas e Interculturalidade da Universidade Federal do Paraná). Com esta análise, procura-se elucidar carências e melhorias que possam ser implementadas no material a fim de contribuir para o seu aprimoramento. O estudo parte do conceito de que há a necessidade de se produzirem materiais específicos para públicos específicos. A análise da unidade didática será feita tendo como direcionamento a Abordagem Comunicativa e o Letramento Crítico conforme descrito por Mattos e Valério (2010) e o Ensino de Línguas por Tarefas de acordo com Santos (2014). Para a elaboração de materiais didáticos de ensino de línguas e especialmente de PLE em imersão parece ser aceitável que mais do que uma corrente teórica seja utilizada, desde que sejam complementares. O artigo defende que a habilidade em combinar diferentes procedimentos teóricos confere qualidade à proposta de ensino. Inicialmente será apresentada a fundamentação teórica e as diretrizes que farão parte do estudo. Na sequência, haverá uma breve descrição da unidade didática em questão e em seguida a sua análise e sugestões para melhoria.
PRÁTICAS DE LEITURA E ESCRITA DE ADULTOS SURDOS EM CONTEXTO DIALÓGICO: PRODUÇÕES EM PORTUGUÊS MEDIADAS PELA LIBRAS
Authors: Martins Vanessa Regina de Oliveira , Nascimento Lilian Cristine Ribeiro
Published: December 2017

O aprendizado da Língua Portuguesa (LP) é, ainda hoje, um desafio na educação de surdos porque a Libras não se constitui, na maioria dos ambientes educacionais, como língua de instrução. Diante dessa realidade, muitos surdos adultos procuram espaços não formais que ofertem cursos de português como segunda língua. Essa pesquisa foi realizada no contexto de um curso de extensão semanal oferecido para adultos surdos falantes da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), em uma universidade pública. O objetivo desse trabalho é o de descrever e analisar as práticas de ensino de leitura e escrita da LP mediadas pela Libras, nesse espaço. São apresentados recortes de situações vivenciadas nessa prática que evidenciam as negociações de sentido realizadas nas duas línguas apontando resultados favoráveis para a aprendizagem da LP. Trazemos como pressuposto a abordagem dialógica, que toma o texto em sua concretude construído coletivamente por meio das enunciações. Tais construções se dão em embates discursivos através dos quais os sentidos são negociados. A metodologia desse trabalho é o estudo de caso, com relatos de acontecimentos, analisados à luz da perspectiva enunciativa, com aportes de Bakhtin e Foucault. Vale ressaltar que, para além do ensino da LP, esse espaço tem propiciado o encontro entre pares surdos e a circulação da Libras, fomentando a ressignificação da matriz de experiência da surdez, numa perspectiva identitária.
Acuity-adaptable patient room from the patient’s perspective
Authors: Bonuel Nena
Published: December 2017

Acuity-Adaptable Patient Room is a single room concept where a patient is cared for in the same room during the entire hospital stay at any level of acuity. This room concept has demonstrated benefits with regards to patient safety, patient experience, and decrease length of stay. A descriptive study on renal transplant patients was done to describe the patient’s perspective about this room concept. Content-validated questionnaires were provided to 36 consenting renal transplant patients and 33 were completed and returned. Twenty-five patients claimed that the monitoring device in the room made them feel safe. One patient complained of discomfort because his feet hung off the bed. Another felt that transition from the operating room to the floor was noisy. Although most patients felt that the room temperature was adequately controlled, however the room temperature did fluctuate from hot to cold. Most patients expressed that the care they received was exceptional and the room provided a healing environment.

Gedomineerde en aanpalende markten – enkele opmerkingen bij NS Limburg

Was het misbruikverbod in de Nederlandse mededingingspraktijk lange tijd een rustig, zo niet wat ingeslapen bezit, met het zeer uitvoerige boetebesluit waarmee de ACM de gang van zaken rond de aanbesteding in 2014 van de OV-concessie Limburg afstraft, is aan die rust voorlopig een einde gekomen. Voor mededingingsjuristen biedt de ACM stof tot nadenken met een op onderdelen innovatieve aanpak, die echter de analyse van de effecten van het gestelde misbruik stiefmoederlijk bedeelt.
PRINCIPAL GEODESIC ANALYSIS BOUNDARY DELINEATION WITH SUPERPIXEL-BASED CONSTRAINTS
Authors: Baran Mateusz , Tabor Zbisław
Published: December 2017

In this paper an algorithm for accurate delineation of object boundaries is proposed. The method employs a superpixel algorithm to obtain an oversegmentation of the input image, used as a constraint in the task. A shape model is built by applying Principal Geodesic Analysis on angular representation of automatically placed uniformly distant landmark points. The shape model is used to detect the boundaries of an object on a given image by iterative elongation of a partial boundary along borders of superpixels. Contrary to many state-of-the-art methods, the proposed approach does not need an initial boundary. The algorithm was tested on two natural and two synthetic sets of images. Mean Dice coefficients between 0.91 and 0.97 were obtained. In almost all cases the object was found. In areas of relatively high gradient magnitude the borders are delineated very accurately, though further research is needed to improve the accuracy in areas of low gradient magnitude and automatically select the parameters of the proposed error function.

Most of the available packages across the ROS community are addressed for controlling a single robot. In this paper, we aim to extend some packages so, they can be used in multi-robot applications on ROS. Mainly, the multi-robot autonomous navigation and multi-robot smart phone teleoperation are addressed in this work. After being extended and compiled, the new packages are assessed in some simulations and experiments with real robots.
SAN: an Integrated Unmanned Air Vehicles Interdictor System Concept
Authors: KRÓL Marcin , KOPERSKI Wojciech , BŁASZCZYK Jan , WOŹNIAK Ryszard , BŁASZCZYK Paweł M.
Published: December 2017

The development of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) has been very rapid recently. The wide accessibility of UAVs has unlocked a great potential for the malicious or accidental damage or destruction of property or other aircraft in flight. UAVs can be used for espionage, contraband, and the trafficking or transport of arms and hazardous materials. Every month sees a growing number of reports of incidents that involve remote-controlled UAVs operated for aerial video recording. These incidents justify undertaking research into minimizing the hazards which UAVs may potentially cause. A concept was developed for a solution dedicated to this problem and comprising an integrated modular anti-UAV system for application in commercial (civilian) markets in the areas of security of mass events, strategic enterprises, and critical strategic infrastructure in Poland. The proposed system is intended to incapacitate any UAVs that breach a predefined air space and bring the incapacitated UAVs safely to the ground. The project is developed jointly by the Institute of Armament Technology at the Military University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland) and Polish company Ellipsis Sp. z o.o.

The bats of the Congo and of Rwanda and Burundi revisited (Mammalia: Chiroptera)
Authors: Van Cakenberghe Victor , Gembu Tungaluna Guy-Crispin , Musaba Akawa Prescott , Seamark Ernest , Verheyen Erik
Published: December 2017

In 1966, Robert William Hayman, Xavier Misonne and Walter Verheyen published their listing of the Congolese, Rwandan and Burundian bat specimens in the collections in the museums of Tervuren, Brussels, Geneva, London and New York. In the fifty years that have passed since, some major changes have been introduced in the taxonomy of the Chiroptera: new species have been discovered, species have been split off, species have been moved to other genera, and additional material has been collected. We re-evaluated the data presented by Hayman et al., and supplemented this with specimen records found in the literature and in online catalogs. This resulted in 136 species, represented by 20 231 specimens (compared to 113 species and 8567 specimens originally). When available, we also recorded additional information such as locality, sex and age, collector, collection date and preservation type of the voucher specimen. The distribution maps of the Congolese taxa are revised to represent the current taxonomy, and are presented in perspective against the taxon’s Species Distribution Model to assess species distribution on the African continent. Additionally, an updated key to the various taxa is presented.

Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVE The use of dietary supplements has increased and is associated with adverse effects. Indications for use include recreation, body image concerns, mood enhancement, or control of medical conditions. The risk of adverse effects may be enhanced if agents are used improperly. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of abuse and misuse of 4 dietary substances among adolescents reported nationally to poison centers. Secondary outcomes included an assessment of medical outcomes, clinical effects, location of treatments provided, and treatments administered.

METHODS This descriptive retrospective review assessed data concerning the use of garcinia (Garcinia cambogia), guarana (Paullinia cupana), salvia (Salvia divinorum), and St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) among adolescents reported nationally to poison centers from 2003 to 2014. Adolescents with a singlesubstance exposure to one of the substances of interest coded as intentional abuse or misuse were included. Poison center calls for drug information or those with unrelated clinical effects were excluded. Data were collected from the National Poison Data System.

RESULTS There were 84 cases: 7 cases of Garcinia cambogia, 28 Paullinia cupana, 23 Salvia divinorum, and 26 Hypericum perforatum. Garcinia cambogia was used more frequently by females (100% versus 0%), and Paullinia cupana and Salvia divinorum were used more frequently by males (61% versus 36% and 91% versus 9%, respectively). Abuse, driven by Salvia divinorum, was more common overall than misuse. Abuse was also more common among males than females (p <0.001). Use of these agents fluctuated over time. Overall, use trended down since 2010, except for Garcinia cambogia use. In 62 cases (73.8%), the medical outcome was minor or had no effect or was judged as nontoxic or minimally toxic. Clinical effects were most common with Paullinia cupana and Salvia divinorum. Treatment sites included emergency department (n = 33; 39.3%), non-healthcare facility (n = 24; 28.6%), admission to a health care facility (n = 8; 9.5%), and other/unknown (n = 19; 22.6%).

CONCLUSIONS Abuse and misuse of these dietary supplements was uncommon, and outcomes were mild. Further research should be performed to determine use and outcomes of abuse/misuse of other dietary supplements in this population.

Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to describe whether tolerance develops in pediatric patients receiving chronic intermittent furosemide therapy, to characterize when it occurs and whether age-related variations exist. The effects of increasing total daily dose of furosemide and concurrent diuretics and vasopressors were assessed as secondary aims.

METHODS Charts from patients receiving intravenous or oral furosemide for at least 3 consecutive days of therapy between June 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013, were reviewed retrospectively. Daily net fluid balance was used as the objective marker for development of tolerance. Net fluid balance (mL/kg/mg) was defined as the difference in a patient's daily intake and urine output (mL), normalized by weight (kg) and total daily dose of furosemide (mg).

RESULTS Sixty-one patients, aged 2 days to 20 years (median 3 years), were included in this study. Median daily dose of furosemide was 1.96 mg/kg/day (range, 0–13.7 mg/kg/day). Average net fluid balance for all patients on the first day and last day of therapy was 6.83 and 26.66 mL/kg/mg, respectively (p = 0.011). Linear regression and Spearman's correlation found no significant relationship between age and difference in net fluid balance between the first and last day. Linear mixed-effects model for net fluid balance with day as covariate found that net fluid balance increases over time (p = 0.002).

CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients appear to develop tolerance to chronic intermittent furosemide therapy.
Identifying Barriers and Facilitators at Affect Community Pharmacists' Ability to Engage Children in Medication Counseling: A Pilot Study

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe the barriers and facilitators that influence community pharmacists' ability to provide medication counseling to pediatric patients.

METHODS Semistructured interviews (n = 16) were conducted with pharmacy staff at 3 community pharmacies in 2 Eastern states. The interview guide elicited pharmacy staff experiences interacting with children and their perceived barriers and facilitators to providing medication counseling. Transcripts were reviewed for accuracy and a codebook was developed for data analysis. NVivo 10 was used for content analysis and identifying relevant themes.

RESULTS Ten pharmacists and 6 pharmacy technicians were interviewed. Most participants were female (69%), aged 30 to 49 years (56%), with ≥5 years of pharmacy practice experience. Eight themes emerged as barriers to pharmacists' engaging children in medication counseling, the most prevalent being the child's absence during medication pickup, the child appearing to be distracted or uninterested, and having an unconducive pharmacy environment. Pharmacy staff noted 7 common facilitators to engaging children, most importantly, availability of demonstrative and interactive devices/technology, pharmacist demeanor and communication approach, and having child-friendly educational materials.

CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that pharmacy personnel are rarely able to engage children in medication counseling because of the patient's absence during medication pickup; however, having child-friendly materials could facilitate interactions when the child is present. These findings can inform programs and interventions aimed at addressing the barriers pharmacists encounter while educating children about safe and appropriate use of medicines.

OBJECTIVE This study examines off-label medication prescribing use and trends in children on Medicaid with ADHD with particular focus on the very young (under age 6 years).

METHODS This was an observational cohort study and retrospective analysis of ADHD medication prescriptions from Oregon Medicaid records (N = 83,190) in 2012. Manufacturer prescribing information was used to determine off-label designation. Children ages 3 to 18 years at the time of prescription who had continuous Medicaid enrollment of at least 10 months during the index year of 2012 were included in the sample frame.

RESULTS Children with ADHD were prescribed off-label medications primarily at the ages of 5 years and younger. Among children ages 3 to 5 years, 91.4% of prescriptions were off-label. After the age of 5 years, the percentage of off-label prescriptions dropped notably to 21%, reflecting the increase in availability of approved medications for the treatment of ADHD starting at age 6 years. In the 3- to 5-year-old age group, specific off-label and concerning medication-related observations included a high frequency of alpha agonist (e.g., guanfacine, clonidine) prescribing; the prescribing of untested formulations such as clonidine patches; prescribing of atomoxetine; and prescribing of large doses of stimulant medications.

CONCLUSIONS Most ADHD drugs prescribed for very young children are off-label, which is concerning owing to lack of safety and efficacy data in this vulnerable population.

Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVE To characterise the incidence, symptoms and risk factors for withdrawal associated with prolonged dexmedetomidine infusion in paediatric critically ill patients.

METHODS Retrospective chart review in the paediatric intensive care unit and the cardiac critical care unit of a single tertiary children's hospital. Patients up to 18 years old, who received dexmedetomidine for longer than 48 hours were included.

RESULTS A total of 52 patients accounted for 68 unique dexmedetomidine treatment courses of more than 48 hours. We identified 24 separate episodes of withdrawal in the 68 dexmedetomidine courses (incidence 35%). Of these episodes 38% occurred in patients who were weaned from dexmedetomidine alone while the remaining occurred in patients who had concurrent weans of opioids and/or benzodiazepines. Most common symptoms were agitation, fever, vomiting/retching, loose stools and decreased sleep. The symptoms occurred during the latter part of the wean or after discontinuation of dexmedetomidine. A cumulative dose of dexmedetomidine of 107 mcg/kg prior to initiation of wean was more likely associated with withdrawal (this equates to a dexmedetomidine infusion running at 1 mcg/kg/hr over 4 days). Duration of opioid use was an additional risk factor for withdrawal. The use of clonidine, as a transition from dexmedetomidine, did not protect against withdrawal (p = 1).

CONCLUSIONS A withdrawal syndrome may occur after prolonged infusion of dexmedetomidine. As all our patients were also exposed to opioids this may be affected by the duration of opioid use. We identified a cumulative dose of 107 micrograms/kg of dexmedetomidine beyond which withdrawal symptoms were more likely (which equates to 4 days of use at a dose of 1 mcg/kg/hr). A protocol for weaning should be considered in this circumstance.

Published: December 2017

Rasburicase, used in the prevention and treatment of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), may cause hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Although routine screening for G6PD deficiency has been recommended, given the turnaround time for test results and the urgency to treat TLS, such screening may not be feasible. We report a case of rasburicase-induced hemolytic anemia without methemoglobinemia in an adolescent with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, TLS, and previously unrecognized G6PD deficiency. Previous reports of hemolytic anemia with rasburicase are reviewed, mechanisms discussed, and preventative strategies presented.
