Authors: De Souza dos Santos Caroline , Souza de Almeida Leonardo
Published: March 2019

As transformações ocasionadas pela globalização têm impulsionado mudanças em todas as áreas do conhecimento, em especial nas Ciências Sociais, a exemplo das Ciências Contábeis. Faz-se necessário que os processos de ensino-aprendizagem estejam em conformidade com as constantes mudanças do meio econômico e social. Para atender a esta demanda, é preciso que a formação dos profissionais contábeis esteja alinhada às crescentes demandas do mercado de trabalho, o que implica o uso de técnicas inovadoras, capazes de formar contadores e cidadãos críticos e ativos. Neste sentido, surgem as metodologias ativas de ensino, que buscam ressignificar o processo educativo, tornando o estudante protagonista da aprendizagem. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever a utilização de metodologias ativas de ensino no curso de Ciências Contábeis em uma instituição de ensino superior privada da cidade de Governador Mangabeira-BA. Realizou- se uma pesquisa descritiva e qualitativa, utilizando-se de questionários aplicados aos docentes do curso de Ciências Contábeis para coleta de dados. Os resultados demonstraram que 100% dos pesquisados afirmaram terem conhecimento das metodologias ativas de ensino, embora a grande maioria dos professores (52,90%) opte pelas metodologias tradicionais, sendo a aula expositiva a mais empregada. A principal dificuldade encontrada para a utilização desses novos métodos foi a cultura enraizada no âmbito educacional, enquanto a principal vantagem de sua aplicação, como percebida pelos docentes, foi o aumento da atratividade para todos os envolvidos no processo. Por fim, ressalta-se a importância da metodologia ativa de ensino para a formação do profissional contábil na medida que propicia o desenvolvimento de habilidades como autonomia e senso crítico, características imprescindíveis para o exigente mundo dos negócios.

Published: March 2019

A novel amylolytic enzyme producing thermoalkaliphilic bacterium, the source of industrially used enzymes was isolated. Isolated strain was identified by morphological, physio-biochemical tests and the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The optimal conditions of enzyme activity were determined. For higher ?-amylase production, the variables such as yeast extract, starch, CaCl2, (NH4)2SO4, NaCl and MgSO4 in the ?-amylase production medium, the temperature and pH were screened by Plackett?Burman design and optimised using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions were found to be 0.15 g/L for starch, 0.15 mg/L for CaCl2 and 60?C for temperature. By using RSM model, amylase production increase was achieved sevenfold. It is showed that this method can be utilised to optimize ?-amylase production in athermophilic bacteria such as Bacillus paralicheniformis.

Published: March 2019

Background:

This case report describes the complete full-mouth treatment of hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) by chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM).

Case summary:

After several years of interrupted dental care, a 17-year-old female patient presented with pain and also esthetic and functional discomfort. With loss of enamel and dyschromia affecting all teeth, the diagnosis was hypocalcified AI. Affected tissues were eliminated, gingivectomy with laser was performed, an indented jig was used to record the centric relationship during optical impressions, and 28 full ceramic crowns were created by chairside CAD/CAM in four sessions. The patient reported rapid pain relief and an overall improvement of well-being.

Conclusion:

AI sequelae can be treated promptly and conservatively with chairside CAD/CAM, obtaining esthetic and functional results.
Effect of Immediate Dentin Sealing on the Bond Strength of Monolithic Zirconia to Human Dentin
Authors: Rigos AE , Dandoulaki C , Kontonasaki E , Kokoti M , Papadopoulou L , Koidis P
Published: March 2019

Objective:

This study evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of pretreated monolithic zirconia surfaces bonded to human dentin following immediate dentin sealing (IDS) using two different self-adhesive resin luting agents.

Methods and Materials:

Sixty intact human third molars were collected, stored, sectioned appropriately, and molded according to ISO 29022:2013, resulting in 120 dentin specimens. Ceramic cylindrical specimens were fabricated using CAD/CAM technology and sintered as recommended (final bonding area A=2.56 mm2). Specimens were randomly assigned to eight groups (15≥n≥14) depending on dentin conditioning method (IDS or delayed dentin sealing [DDS]), zirconia surface pretreatment (airborne particle abrasion [APA] with 50 μm Al2O3 particles at 3 bar for 10 seconds or tribochemical silica coating [TBC] with 30 μm CoJet particles at 2.8 bar for 10 seconds), and adhesive luting agent type (Panavia F2.0 [PAN] or PermaCem Dual Smartmix [PER]). Bonded specimens were water-stored (37°C, 24 hours) and subjected to SBS testing (50-kgF load cell, 1 mm/min). Fracture type was evaluated with stereomicroscopy. Data (MPa) were statistically analyzed using three-way analysis of variance (α=0.05).

Results:

All factors significantly affected SBS values (p<0.001). Dentin conditioning method presented the greatest effect. Mean SBS values ranged from 12.603 MPa (PER-APA-DDS) to 40.704 MPa (PER-TBC-IDS). Based on the fracture type, adhesive failures at the luting agent–zirconia interface were the least common.

Conclusion:

Bonding strategies for monolithic zirconia restorations could potentially benefit from IDS, regardless of the adhesive luting agent system used.

PENGEMBANGAN KURIKULUM BAHASA ARAB DI MADRASAH
Authors: . Roviin .
Published: March 2019

Abstract

This article is motivated by the need for the development of Arabic language curriculum in madrasa. Developing Arabic language curriculum in madrasa refers to the Rule of the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Number: 165 of 2014 on Guidance of Curriculum in Madrasa 2013, Subject of Islamic Education and Arabic Language in Madrasa. In curriculum development, each approach, model and procedure has advantages and disadvantages. However, in the context of Arabic learning in madrasa, the functional approach is more appropriately used with the model of combining all language skills as well as in a theme called the â€œall in one systemâ€/nadhariyya al-wihda. From this approach and model can be realized through a joint procedure between top-down and bottom-up. The content standards for the Arabic language curriculum are thematically constructed for use in four language skills, namely listening (istima'), speaking (kalam), reading (qira'ah) and writing (kitabah).

La figura del marginado en dos obras dramáticas de José Luis Alonso de Santos
Authors: Abbas Khaled M.
Published: March 2019

El objetivo de este artículo consiste en analizar el concepto de marginación social y su relación con el capitalismo, expuesto en dos obras de José Luis Alonso de Santos: La estanquera de Vallecas (1981) y Bajarse al moro (1985), durante el dinámico contexto social español de los años 80 y 90 del siglo pasado. A través de este análisis se pondrá de manifiesto la vinculación existente entre los ciudadanos “marginados” e “integrados”. Los títulos analizados son diferentes en muchos aspectos, pero están unidos por un motivo preponderante: el esfuerzo del llamado “marginado” por integrarse en una sociedad que no los reconoce y la relación de dichos esfuerzos con el funcionamiento del capitalismo y la sociedad de consumo que es su resultado.
Lengua española y traducción: integración de contenidos lingüísticos y traductológicos en un marco didáctico
Authors: Trovato Giuseppe
Published: March 2019

El presente estudio pretende desarrollar un análisis en torno a la integración de contenidos lingüísticos y traductológicos con referencia a la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera en el contexto italófono, tal y como exigen los nuevos planes de estudios universitarios referentes a las carreras en lenguas modernas y mediación lingüística y cultural. Los cambios intervenidos en el ámbito académico italiano han supuesto un nuevo paradigma a la hora de llevar a cabo la didáctica de las lenguas extranjeras. En este nuevo marco, la lengua y la traducción ya no se tienen que situar en compartimentos estancos. Es más, la clave para una didáctica eficaz se puede localizar en su integración armónica. Nuestro objetivo radica, por lo tanto, en demostrar cómo emprender este camino hacia una uniformización de dos disciplinas –Lengua y Traducción– que hasta hace no muchos años se insertaban en el marco de líneas de investigación separadas.

Validation of Building Energy Modeling Tools for a Residential Building in Brasov Area-Romania
Authors: Cîrstolovean Lucian , Mizgan Paraschiva
Published: March 2019

A building energy model is a simulation tool which calculates the thermal loads and energy use in buildings. Building energy models provide valuable insight into energy use in buildings based on architecture, materials and thermal loads. In addition, building energy models also must account for the effects of the building’s occupants in terms of energy use. In this paper we discuss building energy models and their accuracy in predicting energy use. In particular, we focus on two types of validation methods which have been used to investigate the accuracy of building energy models and on how they account for their effects on occupants. The analyzed building is P + M located in the climatic zone 4, Sânpetru / Braşov. We have carried out a detailed and exemplary energy needs analysis using two methods of analysis.

Authors: Mocanu-Vargancsik Cristina Amalia , Barbulescu Alina
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this article is analysing the variability of Buzau river monthly mean discharges, maximum and minimum over time and the impact of Siriu Dam on these discharges. Keeping a stable, moderate variability on the water flow has a significant importance, as this assures normality of life and functionality of the dams. On another hand, the dams are in-built with a range of parameters, decided according to this variability of the discharges. The used data has been collected from Nehoiu and Basca Roziliei hydrometric stations and spans on 55 years, from 1st January 1955 to 31st December 2010. Mid-period, on 30th September 1984, Siriu Dam started operating and the results reveal that its impact on the variability has been moderate on a large time scale. Important changes appear on smaller time scale, as months. The results are supported by graphs drawn in Excel and methods embedded by software.
Introducing Environmental Technologies in Industrial Fuel Combustion Processes
Authors: Ruscă Marcel , Rusu Tudor Andrei
Published: March 2019

Atmosphere pollution is a complex and worldwide process carried out for a long period of time. Greenhouse effect, global warming and acid rain are only some examples generated by atmospheric pollution. Experts discovered a strong motivation on finding solutions for reducing pollutant emissions caused by atmospheric pollution. Transport activities and fossil fuels combustion are the main concern on environmental pollution, more than that, they are used in industrial processes, being the main cause of environmental pollution.

We have to understand that global pollution is causing the main effect on economic and social challenges of each country, a fact that will be hard to change in the future, and every small step will help for a better and healthy environment. Sebes and Zlanta city, from Alba regions, were the areas that draw our attention for studying the level of atmospheric pollution for a period of 5 years. We made periodic determinations on emission level for SO2, CO, CO2, NOx and writing down periodic reports. The measurements were made in industrial areas for Zlatna and Sebes city and in urban areas in Alba-Iulia city. Traffic environment was the main issue discovered after this research. The concerning was on industrial pollution for the cities of Sebes and Zlatna. The final part is offering solutions on reducing gaseous emissions in particular for economic operators and for the industries as well. This research is particularly aimed at emissions reduction like SO2, CO, CO2 and also for volatile organic compounds. Directive 2008/50/CE concerning ambient air quality were the main sources where we started on our research targeting on reducing atmospheric pollution.

The candidates for new superior varieties are  expected to be able to increase the sugar yield in the upland area. Germplasm evaluation has indicated some clones had potentially high sugar yield in upland area. The study was conducted at Asembagus Experimental Station, Situbondo Regency, East Java, from December 2016 to November 2017. The study aimed to obtain sugarcane clones with higher sugar yield than existing varieties on upland area. Twelve potential sugarcane clones (17, 87, 90, 104, 212, 351, 354, 451, 452, PBG 2, 386 SOF 1118, and 400 SOF 1132) and 2 check varieties (PS 881 and Cenning) were arranged in a randomized block design with three replicates. The results showed that the sugarcane production of 104, 212, and PBG 2 clones  (97.42-98.26 ton ha-1) were not different from productivity of Cenning (105.42 ton ha-1) but they were higher than that of PS 881 (75.68 ton ha-1). The sugar content  of 104 and PBG 2 clones (9.43-9.46%) was higher than Cenning (6.94%) but lower than PS 881 (11.66%). The sugar yields (9.16-9.24 ton ha-1) of 104 and PBG 2 clones were higher than Cenning (7.47 ton ha-1) but they were not different from PS 881 (8.84 ton ha-1).

Polyploidy induction in Phalaenopsis amabilis is one of the methods to increase plant genetic diversity. A highly meristematic condition of protocorm induced by cytokinines may improve the success rate of polyploidy induction. This experiment was aimed to study the effect of Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thidiazuron (TDZ) and coconut water (CW) in a half concentration of Murashige & Skoog (MS) medium before colchicine treatment on growth, multiplication and the success rate of polyploidy induction on Phalaenopsis amabilis protocorm. The experiment used completely randomized  design with one factor, medium treatment (15% of CW); 0.51 mg L-1 BAP; 0.50 mg L-1 TDZ; 15% CW + 0.51 mg L-1 BAP; 15% CW + 0.50 mg L-1 TDZ). Each treatment consisted of three replications with five culture bottles of protocorm for each replication and ten protocorms per bottle. The protocorms were incubated for eight weeks in the medium before treated with 50 mg L-1 of colchicine for ten days. The results showed that 15% CW, 15% CW + 0.51 mg L-1 BAP or 0.5 mg L-1 TDZ gave the highest percentage (100%) of alive protocorm. The highest percentage of protocorm multiplication were resulted from 15% CW+0.51 mg L-1 BAP (65.3%) and 15% CW + 0.5 mg L-1 TDZ (62.7%). The best treatment to promote formation of leaves and roots from protocorm was 15% CW. The percentage of polyploid plantlets of 3% was found in plantlet from 15% CW + 0.50 mg L-1 TDZ media treatment while from other treatments could not be detected.Keywords: BAP, chromosome, coconut water, plantlet, TDZ
Give Me the Room to Learn: Associations Between Job Control and Work-Related Learning
Authors: Weststar Johanna
Published: March 2019

Societal rhetoric claims that the intellectual capital of workplaces must be leveraged if Canada is to compete in the "knowledge economy". To achieve this, however, employers must create work environments that are favorable to workers and conducive to learning. This paper uses a sample of 5800 Canadian workers from the Work and Lifelong Learning Survey and twenty interviews with Information Technology workers from the Education-Job Requirement Matching Project to focus on the relationship between worker control and learning engagement. The data show that increased levels of social and technical control are associated with increased worker engagement in formal courses, informal education (mentoring) and non-taught learning. This research has implications for job design that includes real and meaningful opportunities for worker input and agency into their own tasks and broader organizational decision-making. These results provide important information for future research regarding the inclusion and conceptualization of learning and job control constructs.

“To Be Strict on Your Own”: Black and Latinx Parents Evaluate Discipline in Urban Choice Schools
Authors: Golann Joanne W. , Debs Mira , Weiss Anna Lisa
Published: March 2019

The proliferation of urban “no-excuses” charter schools has been justified by arguing that Black and Latinx parents want strict discipline. In this article, we examine what discipline means to Black and Latinx families at two popular choice options: a no-excuses charter and two public Montessori magnets. We found that parents viewed discipline as more than rule-following, valuing also self-discipline and academic discipline. While no-excuses parents supported an orderly environment, many found the discipline restrictive. Parents in the Montessori schools, by contrast, praised student autonomy but questioned whether the freedom was preparing their students academically. Our findings reveal a gap between what Black and Latinx parents want and what choice schools and local school choice markets have on offer.
Inter-Governmental Fiscal Transfers in the Presence of Revenue Uncertainty: The Case of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India
Authors: Mukherjee Sacchidananda
Published: March 2019

A comprehensive multistage Value Added Tax (VAT) system, viz., Goods and
Services Tax (GST), is introduced in India since 1 July 2017. GST
encompasses various taxes from Union and State indirect tax bases and it
is a dual VAT system with concurrent taxation power to Union and State
governments. It was envisaged that removal cascading of taxes and
enshrining destination based consumption tax system under GST will
encourage investment and improve ease-of-doing business in India. Though
it is not right time to comment on success or failure of Indian GST
system unless the tax system stabilizes, so far revenue mobilization
from GST is not encouraging. The shortfall in GST collection has been
acknowledged in the ‘Medium Term Fiscal Policy cum Fiscal Policy
Strategy Statement’ of the Union Budget 2019-20. The genesis of revenue
shortfall may be design and structural in nature and/or compliance and
tax administration related. However, the uncertainty surrounding GST
revenue collection is an issue which needs an in-depth assessment for
fiscal management of Union and State governments. The impact of revenue
uncertainty will not be restricted to Union finances alone; it will
spill over to state finances through inter-governmental fiscal
transfers. Therefore, depending on seriousness of the uncertainties
associated with GST revenue collection, devising an inter-governmental
fiscal transfer framework may be a challenging task for the Fifteenth
Finance Commission. Given the information available in the public
domain, this paper attempts to explore possible causes of revenue
shortfall and assess possible impacts of revenue shortfall on Union and
State finances.

Lexical Stratification of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”
Authors: Nikolaev Sergei L.
Published: March 2019

This paper deals with the problem of dialect in The Tale of Igor’s Campaign. The author places great emphasis on lexical stratification. Dialectally marked vocabulary in The Tale is associated with only two areas of the East Slavic dialect continuum: 1) the South Eastern area (Southwest Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian dialects) and 2) the Northern area (Russian dialects originating in Pskov and Novgorod). Distribution of dialect words in The Tale is uneven: the South Western items characterize the main part of the text and the Northern elements prevail in some fragments. Although the presence of dialectal vocabulary in The Tale has long been established, a complementary distribution of the South Western and Northern items has not yet been observed. Grammatical analysis of The Tale shows that 1) its text dates from before the end of the 13th century, and 2) its dialect may be localized in the Pskov-Polotsk zone, perhaps in its South Pskov or Toropets-Selizharovo areas. At the same time, the grammar of The Tale lacks typical South Western features, and there arises the problem of contradictory evidence of grammar and vocabulary. Perhaps the dilemma may be solved by going beyond the bounds of purely linguistic research into The Tale’s text.

Published: March 2019

Objectives: Intervention participants’ responses to and engagement with interventions are a key intermediate step between interventions and intended outcomes. The aim of this study was to qualitatively investigate crucial aspects of engagement, namely acceptability (experienced cognitive and emotional responses to the intervention), receipt (comprehension of intervention content), and skill enactment (skill performance in target settings), within the Let’s Move It, a multi-component school-based physical activity intervention. Design: Longitudinal qualitative study embedded in a cluster-randomised trial, with individual interviews of purposefully sampled intervention participants immediately post-intervention (n=21) and at 14 months (n=14).Methods: Semi-structured interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Abductive coding process was taken to identify categories for themes.Results: The analysis resulted in 12 themes and 18 subthemes. Overall, participants reported perceived effectiveness of and affective attitude towards the intervention (acceptability), and understood the main messages and skills (receipt). For example, findings indicated comprehension of the non-judgmental nature and choice-providing messages of the intervention underpinned by self-determination theory. Despite reporting understanding how and why to perform the skills, not using them was a highlighted theme (skill enactment), particularly for self-regulatory techniques such as planning. Friends’ role as key self-motivation technique was a prevalent theme. In the within-individual analysis, three different engager types were identified: positive, ambivalent and negative.Conclusion: Identifying misunderstandings and difficulties in skill acquisition can help interpret main trial outcomes and inform further intervention optimisation. This study provides an example of how to use thematic analysis to assess acceptability, receipt and enactment in interventions.

Authors: Nava-Castañeda Ángel , Hernández-Orgaz Joaquín , Garnica-Hayashi Lilia , Ansart Alberto , Matus Gonzalo , Tovilla-Canales José Luis , Zuazo Francisca
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is the most common nonpigmented ocular surface neoplasm and it can originate from the conjunctiva and/ or corneal epithelium. Since the rate of recurrence after surgical excision is high, chemotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic agents such as interferon alpha-2b (IFN α-2b) have been used for its treatment.

Objective: Our objective is to describe the demographic variables of patients with OSSN treated with IFN α-2b and to describe the outcomes of its use in Mexican patients, treated between 2011 and 2017 at Instituto de Oftalmología Fundación Conde de Valenciana.

Materials and Methods: This is a non-randomized retrospective interventional case series. We reviewed the files of patients older than 18 years, with clinical and/or histopathological diagnosis of OSSN, treated with IFN α-2b alone or in combination with surgery, with a minimum of 6 months follow-up. We studied demographic variables, such as gender, age, eye affected and associated risks factors; we also studied the type of therapy with interferon (topical, intralesional and/or associated with surgery), time of treatment, time of follow up, recurrences and complications.

Results: A total of 39 patients were included. The mean age of diagnosis was 61 ± 16 years and OSSN was more frequent in males (64.1% of cases). Most of the cases (43.6%) had no identifiable risk factors. The mean time of IFN α-2b treatment was 5 ± 2 months, being higher in the intralesional group (6.5 months) than in the topical group (4.2 months). The clinical resolution with the use of IFN α-2b was evidenced between 0.5 and 10 months, being achieved in 87.1% of the patients.

Conclusions: The use of IFN α-2b is effective for the treatment of OSSN with a high success rate (87.1%) and a low incidence of relapse (5 cases), with no reported complications during follow up.

Published: March 2019

Introduction: Optic disc edema is a common clinical finding that can be caused by benign to vision and or life-threatening conditions.

Objective: To investigate the etiologies of optic disc edema among patients presenting to Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with optic disc edema presenting to Neuro-ophthalmology department of Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology from May 2012 to May 2014, was made.

Results: 98 patients were diagnosed with disc edema. Females (64%) were frequently affected. It was noted more in the 21 – 50 age groups. Papilledema was the most frequent cause (35.7%) of disc edema followed by papillitis (28.6%), pseudopapilledma (18.4%) and ischemia (17.3%), respectively. Brain tumors (13%) were the most common etiology for papilledema.

Conclusion: Papilledema along with other causes, are common etiologies for disc edema. A detailed history and careful evaluation are necessary as the treatment strategy highly depends on it’s underlying etiologies.
Traumatic Luxation of the Eye Ball with Optic Nerve Transection Following Road Traffic Accident: Report of Two Cases and Brief Review of Literature
Authors: Roka Narayani , Roka Yam Bahadur
Published: March 2019

Background: Traumatic luxation of the eye ball is rare with only 106 cases reported in PubMed till date. The anatomic location of the eyeball within the socket and the resilience of the globe to pressure force, attachment to extraocular muscles and optic nerve prevents luxation during trauma.
Case: Road traffic accidents (RTA) is the most common cause for these injuries and the outcome can vary from complete recovery on repositioning to visual loss due to globe perforation or optic nerve injury. We report two unique cases of traumatic right globe luxation and complete optic nerve transection due to RTA and give a brief review of literature.
Conclusion: RTA leading to eye ball luxation though rare can be a challenging situation when encountered. Given the limited time for the salvage of the eye early intervention is not always possible especially in developing countries where there is delay in reaching the hospital. Despite all these confounding factors attempt must be made to salvage the eye either for functional, cosmetic or psychological reasons.

Authors: Jain Amit Kumar , Naimi Shahzar , Jain Seema
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Assessment of prescribing pattern at regular interval is essential to avoid inappropriate use of drugs, especially of antimicrobial drugs.

Objectives: The present study was performed to evaluate the prescribing pattern of antimicrobial drugs in the Ophthalmology Out-Patient Department (OPD) of Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad, India.

Material and method: The present study included a total 600 prescriptions of patients attending OPD. A structured proforma was used to record all necessary information of each patient including demographic profi le of patient, diagnosis, total number of drugs and antimicrobials prescribed, group of antimicrobial prescribed, the percentage of antimicrobials prescribed by generic name etc.

Results: Total 600 prescriptions were evaluated. Mean age of the study subjects was 28.4 ± 15.05 years. Total 720 antimicrobials were prescribed and the average number of antimicrobial drugs per prescription was 1.2. Fluoroquinolones were most commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs followed by aminoglycosides and macrolides. 85% of drugs were prescribed in the form of eye drops while 15% were in the form of an ointment. 1.2% of antimicrobial drugs were prescribed by generic names. Out of total antimicrobials drugs, 420 drugs were in the form of fi xed dose combination. Only 1.6% of drugs were prescribed from National Essential Medicines List (NEML) 2015, India.

Conclusion: Most of the antimicrobials were prescribed by brand names which require important consideration to promote rational use of antimicrobial drugs. In addition, the number of drugs prescribed from NEML was very less, indicating the need of sensitization among prescribers for the promotion of rational use of drugs
Childhood brain tumors: current management, biological insights, and future directions
Authors: Pollack Ian F. , Agnihotri Sameer , Broniscer Alberto
Published: March 2019

Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children, and, unfortunately, many subtypes continue to have a suboptimal long-term outcome. During the last several years, however, remarkable advances in our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of these tumors have occurred as a result of high-resolution genomic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic profiling, which have provided insights for improved tumor categorization and molecularly directed therapies. While tumors such as medulloblastomas have been historically grouped into standard- and high-risk categories, it is now recognized that these tumors encompass four or more molecular subsets with distinct clinical and molecular characteristics. Likewise, high-grade glioma, which for decades was considered a single high-risk entity, is now known to comprise multiple subsets of tumors that differ in terms of patient age, tumor location, and prognosis. The situation is even more complex for ependymoma, for which at least nine subsets of tumors have been described. Conversely, the majority of pilocytic astrocytomas appear to result from genetic changes that alter a single, therapeutically targetable molecular pathway. Accordingly, the present era is one in which treatment is evolving from the historical standard of radiation and conventional chemotherapy to a more nuanced approach in which these modalities are applied in a risk-adapted framework and molecularly targeted therapies are implemented to augment or, in some cases, replace conventional therapy. Herein, the authors review advances in the categorization and treatment of several of the more common pediatric brain tumors and discuss current and future directions in tumor management that hold significant promise for patients with these challenging tumors.
The factors associated with hemorrhagic presentation in children with untreated brain arteriovenous malformation: a meta-analysis
Authors: Ai Xiaolin , Ye Zengpanpan , Xu Jianguo , You Chao , Jiang Yan
Published: March 2019

OBJECTIVE

Rupture of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) would result in high mortality and prevalence of disability in pediatric patients. Decisions regarding the treatment of AVMs need to weigh the risk of rupture over the course of their natural history against the possibility of creating a lesion during treatment. Multiple factors have been proposed to predict hemorrhagic presentation of pediatric patients with AVMs. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the predictors of hemorrhagic presentation in pediatric patients with AVMs.

METHODS

The authors searched the PubMed and EMBASE databases. Studies reporting the predictors of hemorrhagic presentation in children with untreated brain AVMs were included. The predictive ability of identified predictors was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

RESULTS

A higher risk of hemorrhagic presentation was found in AVMs with smaller size (< 3 cm, OR 2.97, 95% CI 1.94–4.54, p < 0.00001), deep venous drainage (OR 2.28, 95% CI 1.55–3.36, p < 0.0001), a single draining vein (OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.27–3.92, p = 0.005), a single feeder (OR 3.72, 95% CI 1.31–10.62, p = 0.01), a deep location (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.22–2.72, p = 0.004), an infratentorial location (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.19–4.26, p = 0.01), and diffuse morphology (OR 8.94, 95% CI 3.01–26.55, p < 0.0001). In addition, the AVMs with draining vein ectasia (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.13–0.97, p = 0.04) and high Spetzler-Martin (SM) grade (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.36–0.78, p = 0.001) had a lower risk of hemorrhagic presentation in pediatric patients.

CONCLUSIONS

Smaller AVMs, deep venous drainage, a single draining vein, a single feeder, deep/infratentorial location, diffuse morphology, and high SM grade were identified as positive predictors for hemorrhagic presentation. Particularly, patients with diffuse AVMs have a higher risk of hemorrhagic presentation than other factors and may need active treatments. However, factors such as age, sex, draining vein stenosis, and associated aneurysms were not associated with hemorrhagic presentation.
