Seeing the Dharma: Narrative Darśan in the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa
Authors: Gummer Natalie
Published: May 2022

This chapter follows on from the previous one by arguing that some Mahāyāna sūtras offer ritual and verbal means for transformative visual encounters with buddhas and their perfect fields. It takes as a particularly instructive instance the penultimate chapter of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, “The Visual Encounter (darśana) with the Tathāgata Akṣobhya and the Fetching of the Abhirati World,” (abhiratilokadhātv-ānayanākṣobhyatathāgatadarśana). The chapter begins with a question posed by the Buddha to Vimalakīrti: when he is “desirous of darśana,” of seeing and being seen by the Tathāgata, how does he see him? Vimalakīrti replies with a lengthy apophatic description of the Tathāgata, making it clear that he is, as Vimalakīrti concludes, “inexpressible” (avacanīya). Yet almost immediately thereafter, Vimalakīrti provides an actual opportunity for seeing a Tathāgata: the Tathāgata Akṣobhya, whose entire vast world sphere Abhirati, its glittering features amassed in fairly vivid detail in the sūtra, the bodhisattva gathers up into his hand and brings into this Saha world in order to give darśana to Śākyamuni's assembly. Through this encounter, all present are transformed. While the reality of the Tathāgata is ostensibly “inexpressible,” then, he and his world can nonetheless be seen and brought into our own, even when both seem far, far away—and precisely through the verbal and ritual technologies of the sūtra, which make him imaginatively present to audiences and allow darśana of him. These technologies have significant implications for our interpretation of Buddhist “literature,” which often defies any comfortable distinction between textual and visual experience.

Foram alvo de intervenções a escolha profissional, a ansiedade, a auto-observação e o autoconhecimento. O cliente adolescente respondeu satisfatoriamente ao processo terapêutico, neste sentido os objetivos terapêuticos foram atingidos, de forma que este foi capaz de realizar de forma segura sua escolha profissional e ao fim do processo realizar as próprias análises funcionais, generalizando os ganhos comportamentais ao contexto fora da terapia, e consequentemente adquirindo autonomia.
Produção Teórica dos Psicólogos Residentes em um Hospital Universitário: levantamento e análise de dados
Authors: Calvetti Corrêa Amanda , Scott Schneider Venicius
Published: May 2022

Este trabalho propõe um levantamento bibliográfico descritivo sobre a produção teórica dos residentes de psicologia do hospital universitário da UFPR, desde seus trabalhos de conclusão de residência. Notou-se que falta, na literatura, um levantamento e avaliação sobre o conteúdo dessas pesquisas. Portanto, analisou-se 48 artigos produzidos nos últimos 10 anos, a partir das categorias: tema, metodologia, publicação e programa. Encontrou-se que tais produções são, na maioria, caracterizadas por temáticas clínicas psicanalíticas; utilizam como metodologia a revisão de literatura (incluindo ou não relatos de experiência ou fragmentos clínicos); e possuem uma baixa porcentagem de publicação. Ainda, em seus artigos, os residentes correlacionam a proposta do programa que estão inseridos, com o observado nos cenários de prática e a linha teórica da psicologia que os orienta. Conclui-se que os resultados deste trabalho podem orientar os preceptores e os residentes de psicologia que acabaram de iniciar sua trajetória na residência, e servir como modelo de metodologia de pesquisa que poderá ser seguido em outras residências. Ademais, as pesquisas de residentes, os quais se dedicam exclusivamente a sua formação, refletem a prática do psicólogo no hospital e, por isso, podem trazer múltiplas possibilidades para se analisar a formação do psicólogo da saúde no Brasil.

Authors: De Andrade Araújo Lira Angélica Vanessa , Aguiar Ramos Luís Augusto Irineu , Oliveira Pachú Clésia
Published: May 2022

A Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica (ELA), descrita inicialmente em 1869 pelo médico Jean-Martin Charcot, é uma das principais doenças neurodegenerativas ao lado das doenças de Parkinson e Alzheimer, sua incidência na população varia de 0,6 a 2,6 por 100.000 habitantes. A idade é um dos fatores preditores mais importantes para sua ocorrência, a prevalência é maior entre os 55 e 75 anos. O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, tendo como objetivo analisar a incidência de depressão em pacientes portadores de Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica e sua associação com aspectos clínicos. Realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica de estudos entre 2009 e 2017 nas bases PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde (BVS), levantando dados relativos ao título com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. Foram gerados 89 artigos, dos quais 10 artigos foram incluídos na análise. Verificou-se elevada frequência de quadros depressivos em pacientes com Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica A incidência de sintomas depressivos não esteve associada com duração da doença, sexo, forma de apresentação e escore funcional. Foi identificado que quadros álgicos com alto escore de intensidade de dor contribuem para a piora da qualidade de vida e o aumento das pontuações obtidas nas escalas avaliativas de depressão.

Could TNF-antagonists be a novel treatment strategy for BPH patients?
Authors: Vickman Renee E. , Franco Omar E. , Hayward Simon W.
Published: May 2022

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is widely recognized as a pivotal player in both systemic and local inflammatory processes. Due to the critical role this molecule has in driving both chronic and acute inflammation, it was among the earliest therapeutic targets utilized for pa-tients with autoimmune (AI) diseases. While inflamma-tion in the prostate is commonly observed, the organ has not previously been considered a target of systemic inflammation associated with some AI diseases. In pa-tients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), chronic inflammation is common, and immune cells represent a significant proportion of cells in the organ. Accumula-tion of inflammatory cells may be a response to an ini-tial insult and/or a factor in driving BPH pathogenesis. Certainly, inflammation can limit the efficacy of existing medical therapies in these patients. We previously showed that a pattern of gene expression in BPH tis-sues from patients who had progressed to indication-specific surgery was consistent with the changes seen in AI diseases. Recently, we demonstrated that patients with AI disease have an approximately 50% increase in BPH prevalence compared to patients without AI dis-ease. Treatment of AI disease patients, specifically with TNF-antagonists, reduces BPH incidence back to, or in some diseases, below, the baseline population BPH di-agnosis rate. Treatment of AI disease patients with the broad spectrum anti-inflammatory methotrexate did not elicit this reduction in diagnoses. Systemic treat-ment with TNF antagonists reduces epithelial prolifera-tion and macrophage accumulation in the prostate tis-sues from two mouse models of prostatic hyperplasia as well as human patients. These studies suggest that TNF is a potential therapeutic target in BPH patients.

Figuras de movimento na tragédia ateniense do século V a.C.
Authors: Machado Vinicius Torres , Ribeiro João Pedro Ferreira dos Santos
Published: May 2022

RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo colocar a dança no centro da análise histórica da tragédia ateniense do século V a.C. Para tanto, é proposta uma trajetória que parte da cultura da performance, passa pela cultura dos festivais, pela dança do coro e pelo ensinamento do velho sátiro bêbado, até chegar na revisão dos conceitos de opsis e psuchagôgia, presentes na Poética de Aristóteles. Desse modo, busca-se compreender como a performance cívico-ritual dos atores-cantores-dançarinos gregos antigos, a partir da criação de figuras de movimento, era também um ato de evocação das almas no contexto de uma festividade pública.
Figures of movement in Athenian tragedy of the 5th century BC
Authors: Machado Vinicius Torres , Ribeiro João Pedro Ferreira dos Santos
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to place dance at the center of the historical analysis of Athenian tragedy of the 5th century BC. To do so, a trajectory is proposed that begins with the culture of performance, passes through the culture of festivals, the dance of the chorus and the teaching of the old drunken satyr, and then reviews the concepts of opsis and psuchagôgia in Aristotle's Poetics. Thus, the objective is to understand how the ritual-civic performance of the ancient Greek actors-singers-dancers, based on the creation of figures of movement, was also an act of evoking souls in the context of a public festivity.

YÜKSEK TEKNOLOJİ ÜRÜN İHRACATINI BELİRLEYEN MAKROEKONOMİK FAKTÖRLER ÜZERİNE AMPİRİK BİR ANALİZ
Authors: ŞANLI Devran , KONUKMAN Aziz
Published: May 2022

Teknolojinin ulusal düzeyde ortaya çıkması ve uluslararası yayılım göstermesi sadece mühendislik ve uygulamalı disiplinler tarafından değil aynı zamanda iktisadi koşullar tarafından belirlenen bir olgudur. Teknoloji yoğun ihracatın iktisadi faktörlerini araştıran mevcut ampirik literatürde farklı bulgu ve kanıtlar sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışma, sofistike ve teknoloji yoğun ihracatın (HT) makro iktisadi belirleyicilerini tespit etmeye yönelik literatürde bulunan aktif bir tartışmaya ağırlıklı olarak orta ve yüksek gelir grubundaki ülkeler örnekleminde katkı sunmaktadır. İhracat sofistikasyon düzeyi HT payı yanı sıra EXPY endeksiyle hesaplanmıştır. Analiz panel veri ekonometrisi yöntemleriyle 1988-2017 dönemi ve 49 ülke için gerçekleştirilmiştir. Açıklayıcı değişkenler olarak fiziki-beşeri sermaye, Ar-Ge, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar, döviz kuru ve ülke ölçeği seçilmiştir. Ekonometrik bulgular, yerel teknolojik kapasiteyi oluşturan fiziki sermaye, beşeri sermaye ve Ar-Ge harcamalarının HT ihracatının baskın kaynakları olduğunu göstermektedir. HT ihracatı artışında ulusal teknolojik kapasiteyle birlikte yayılım ve ölçek etkileri de önemlidir. Beşerî sermaye önemli bir düzeyde ve üstelik diğer bütün değişkenlerin hepsinden daha fazla HT ihracatını artırmaktadır. Doğrudan yabancı yatırımların yayılım etkisi anlamlıdır ancak etkinin boyutu ulusal teknolojik kapasiteyi oluşturan değişkenlerin boyutundan daha düşüktür. Sonuçlar, kamu politikalarının eğitim, yatırım ve Ar-Ge alanlarındaki kompozisyonun önemine işaret etmektedir.

Authors: Ryabtsev S. L. , Samkov A. S. , Ryabtsev K. L. , Malginov S. V. , Tskhakaya D. C.
Published: May 2022

Protracted systemic disorders of homeostasis of traumatic disease may cause such severe and often lifeincompatible complications as acute respiratory and acute renal failure, sepsis, fat embolism. The effective way of their prevention is as early as possible rendering of qualified medical care to the injured. Under the Moscow First Aid Station there is a resuscitation-traumatologic CITO team. During 2,5 years the team rendered medical care to 1480 patients with severe multiorgan and concomitant injuries, 6,7% of patients had a severe degree of traumatic shock. Authors suggested the algorithms for diagnosis and prehospital management of severely injured. Use of those algorithms allowed to lower the rate of fat embolism and acute respiratory failure, to shorten the terms of assisted ventilation, duration of resuscitation and hospitalization. Twenty two patients (0,87%) with life incompatible injuries were lost.

Authors: Cherkes-Zade D. I. , Chelyapov V. N. , Lazarev A. F.
Published: May 2022

The experience of surgical correction for combined injuries of pelvic bones and lower limbs was presented. There were 44 patients: 24 patients with acute trauma including 10 patients with injuries of the inner organs; and 20 patients with posttraumatic deformities and other sequela. Fractures of lower limbs (mainly femur and crus) were combined in 79.5% of cases with polyfocal injuries of pelvic ring and in 20.5% of cases with monofocal ones. Others technique of transosseous osteosynthesis for femur and crus fractures as well as closed reposition and pelvic ring stabilization was of relative simplicity and minimal trauma and allowed to perform lower limb fracrure osteosynthesis independently of the number of injured segments and fracrture number as well as to perform the operation by several teams simultaneously. Authors considered the following tactic as rational: 1) closed simultaneous reposition of pelvic ring and lower limb fractures may be performed on the day of patients admission; 2) delayed open surgical correction with combination of transosseous osteosynthesis may be performed simultaneously in the pelvic ring and lower limbs; 3) open surgical correction of pelvic ring and lower limbs may be performed separately and step-by-step.

Published: May 2022

One hundred eighty seven patients with dislocation and dislocation-fracture of carpal bones were treated. There were 81 patients with acute injuries and 106 patients with old ones. In 33.6% of cases injuries of carpal bones were combined with fractures of other bones forming wrist joint. In 20.3% of cases neurologic deficit was detected. Clinical manifestations, diagnosis and peculiarities of treatment were presented. Authors considered the conduction anesthesia to be the best analgetic method. In acute trauma close manual reduction was indicated. Indications for operative treatment were non-reduced dislocations and dislocation-fractures as well as impossibility of reduction of scapoid bone. In case of wrist joint instability temporary Stabilization of wrist joint by К-wires should be performed. In old injuries two-step treatment was recommended: 1st step - distraction of the wrist joint; 2nd step - open reduction of dislocation and dislocation-fracture and osteosynthesis of the scapoid bone. Good and satisfactory results were achieved in 91% of cases.

The effects of dosed-force shock on the femoral head and greater trochanter were studied in 24 rabbits. Histologic specimens were analyzed 3, 7, 14, 30 days and 3, 6, 9 months after trauma. Mechanical damage of articular cartilage of the femoral head and acetabulum was detected. That damage was combined with the necrosis of cartilaginous tissue and microfractures of spongy bone of the femoral head. Repair of the damaged cartilage was of abortive pattern and did not provide filling of the defect with hyaline cartilage.
Modern approaches to optimizing engraftment of free vascularized autografts (literature review and own data)
Authors: Grishin I. G. , Krupatkin A. P. , Fedotov S. A.
Published: May 2022

Despite the high level of engraftment of free vascularized autografts (SVA), the frequency of postoperative complications (marginal necrosis, including due to hematomas, secondary infection, edema and tissue tension, compression of the vascular pedicle, thrombosis of vascular anastomoses) is 20% or more [4] . In our opinion, the main ways to optimize the engraftment of SVA are not only the prevention of technical errors during and after the operation, but also the development of tactics for the pharmacological prevention of tissue death at the postischemic reperfusion stage, taking into account the most significant pathogenesis factors that are relatively independent of the individual course of the postoperative period.
Low-Frequency Marsquakes and Where to Find Them: Back Azimuth Determination Using a Polarization Analysis Approach
Authors: Zenhäusern Géraldine , Stähler Simon C. , Clinton John F. , Giardini Domenico , Ceylan Savas , Garcia Raphaël F.
Published: May 2022

National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport (InSight) mission on Mars continues to record seismic data over 3 yr after landing, and over a thousand marsquakes have been identified, to date. With only a single seismic station, the determination of the epicentral location is far more challenging than on the Earth. The Marsquake Service (MQS) produces seismicity catalogs from data collected by InSight, and provides distance and back azimuth estimates when these can be reliably determined; when both are available, these are combined to provide a location. Currently, MQS does not assign a back azimuth to the vast majority of marsquakes. In this work we develop and apply a polarization analysis method to determine the back azimuth of seismic events from the polarization of observed P- and S-wave arrivals. The method is first applied to synthetic marsquakes and then calibrated using a set of well-located earthquakes that have been recorded in Tennant Creek, Australia. We find that the back azimuth is estimated reliably using our polarization method. The same approach is then used for a set of high-quality marsquakes recorded up to October 2021. We are able to estimate back azimuths for 24 marsquakes, 16 of these without MQS back azimuths. We locate most events to the east of InSight, in the general region of Cerberus Fossae.
Балканы. Между крестом и полумесяцем
Authors: Вишняков Ярослав , Смирнова Полина
Published: May 2022

В течение XIX и ХХ вв. поиски путей решения Восточного вопроса занимали одно из центральных мест в ряду основных направлений политики России, равно как и европейских государств. При этом Балканский регион и его место в международных отношениях приходится рассматривать в многомерном измерении. С одной стороны, этот регион на весь исследуемый период стал местом геополитического столкновения интересов держав, обусловленных ослаблением Османской империи и превращением ее в “больного человека Европы”. Но, с другой стороны, при изучении понятия “Восточный вопрос” следует учитывать происходившие в регионе внутренние процессы, ставшие в ХХ в. как истоком кровопролитных столкновений между молодыми балканскими странами, так и причиной гражданских (межэтнических) войн 1991-1995 гг. на территории бывшей СФРЮ; в результате этих столкновений возникла открытая агрессия стран Запада против Югославии и по-прежнему нерешенный косовский вопрос. Накопленный исследовательский материал позволяет выделить по отношению к региону понятие “балканская цивилизационно-контактная зона”, означающее место многовекового соседства и одновременно столкновения романо-германского, восточно-христианского и исламского миров. Начиная с XVIII в., на европейском континенте формируется своеобразный раскол на две части – Запад и Восток, а к середине XIX в. на пространстве Юго-Восточной Европы складывается понятие “Православный Восток”. Кроме того, наполненное множественными смыслами понятие “свой-чужой” принесло в общественный и политический дискурс элит балканских стран представления о “политической античности”, мотивированное их стремлением просто и понятно артикулировать свое видение роли и места своего, маленького “компактного” народа в новом мировом порядке. В настоящем исследовании предпринята попытка концептуально обобщить понятие Балканы с точки зрения “образа другого”, представления, оказавшего существенное влияние на политические процессы региона, а также на взаимоотношения балканских стран между собой и с “большими” европейскими державами.
“Цифровой след” как индикатор интереса населения приграничных регионов России к трансграничным контактам
Authors: Михайлова Анна , Хвалей Дмитрий , Михайлов Андрей
Published: May 2022

В условиях политики добрососедства приграничные территории выступают естественными контактными зонами, население которых проявляет наибольшую заинтересованность в развитии трансграничных связей и укреплении доверительных отношений. В одних регионах это связано с общим историко-культурным прошлым, в других – со стимулами социально-экономического характера, например, сравнительно более низкими ценами на отдельные категории товаров и/или услуг, развитой культурно-досуговой инфраструктурой, возможностью заработка. Каждая из сфер сотрудничества (производственная, туристическая, культурная, экологическая, инновационная и др.) имеет свой набор индикаторов для оценки интенсивности трансграничных контактов, что дает лишь фрагментарное представление об общей заинтересованности населения приграничных регионов к трансграничному сотрудничеству. Цель исследования – оценить общий уровень интереса населения приграничных регионов России к трансграничным контактам с использованием методологии анализа больших данных. В качестве информационной базы о “цифровых следах” пользователей выступил ресурс Яндекс Wordstat. Период охвата данными – 2020-2021 гг. Результаты анализа 308 уникальных пользовательских запросов продемонстрировали асимметрию в степени интеграции информационных пространств порубежья России и сопредельных государств. Показано, что в большинстве случаев пользователи из приграничных регионов РФ более активно, чем в целом по стране, искали информацию о соседних регионах и городах. Определены географические направления, характеризующиеся наибольшим и наименьшим интересом у населения российского приграничья с позиции трансграничного сотрудничества.

Conclusión: los resultados muestran la necesaria intervención de los 23 comedores y del personal de los mismos; el presente estudio es la base para establecer e implementar políticas gubernamentales que generen estrategias para fomentar alimentación saludable de infantes garantizando buenas practicas higiénico-sanitarias y la prestación del servicio de comedores escolares bajo condiciones de salubridad.
REM sleep, REM parasomnias, REM sleep behaviour disorder
Authors: Szűcs Anna , Mutti Carlotta , Papp Anikó , Halász Péter , Parrino Liborio
Published: May 2022

We review the literature on REM parasomnias, and their the underlying mechanisms. Several REM parasomnias are consistent with sleep dissociations, where certain elements of the REM sleep pattern emerge in an inadequate time (sleep paralysis, hypnagogic hallucinations and cataplexy) or are absent/partial in their normal REM sleep time (REM sleep without atonia, underlying REM sleep behavior disorder). The rest of REM parasomnias (sleep related painful erection, catathrenia) may have other still unclear mechanisms. REM parasomnias deserve attention, because in addition to disturbing sleep and causing injuries, they may shed light on REM sleep functions as well as the heterogeneous etiologies of parasomnias. One of them, REM sleep behavior disorder has special importance as a warning sign of evolving neurodegenerative conditions mainly synucleinopathies (some cases synucleinopathies themselves) and it is a model parasomnia revealing that parasomnias may have by autoimmune, iatrogenic and even psychosomatic etiologies.

Neurological symptoms and complications associated with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are well known. It was aimed to evaluate the brainstem and trigeminal/facial nerves and the pathways between these structures in COVID-19 using the blink reflex test. Thirty patients with post COVID-19 (16 males, 14 females) and 30 healthy individuals (17 males, 13 females) were included in this prospective study. Individuals who previously had a positive nose swap polymerase chain reaction test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and whose previously clinical features were compatible with COVID-19 were included in the post COVID-19 patient group. Neurological examination of the participants should be normal. Blink reflex test was performed on all participants. R1, ipsilateral R2 (IR2), and contralateral R2 (CR2) waves obtained from the test were analyzed. The mean ages of healthy individuals and post COVID-19 patients were 34.0±6.4 and 38.4±10.6 years, respectively. Both age and gender were matched between the groups. R1, IR2, and CR2 latencies/amplitudes were not different between the two groups. The side-to-side R1 latency difference was 0.5±0.3 and 1.0±0.8 ms in healthy individuals and post COVID-19 patients, respectively (p=0.011). One healthy individual and 12 patients with post COVID-19 had at least one abnormal blink reflex parameter (p=0.001). This study showed that COVID-19 may cause subclinical abnormalities in the blink reflex, which includes the trigeminal nerve, the seventh nerve, the brainstem, and pathways between these structures.

Background: To describe the transthoracic echocardiographic findings of moderate to severe COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU.Methods: We studied the transthoracic echocardiographic findings performed within 48 hours on admission to ICU of 426 moderate to severe COVID-19 patients from July 2020 to September 2020 during their course of treatment. Echocardiographic study included left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, left ventricle wall motion abnormalities and right ventricular (RV) assessment.Results: The median age of patients was 58.2 (range 19 to 92 years) and majority of patients were male (71%). Pre-existing comorbidities were reported in 95.5% of patient’s, majority being hypertension (42.7%) and diabetes mellitus (39.2%). Abnormal echo findings were noted in 40.8% (n=174) with majority of abnormal findings noted in age group of 60-69 (n=54), men (n=114) and in patients with pre-existing coronary artery disease (CAD) (n=28). The common pattern of cardiac abnormalities was LV systolic dysfunction (n=73, 17.1%), RV dysfunction (n=30, 7%) and abnormal PA pressures (n=144, 85.2%). Abnormal echo findings were noted in 46% of patients who died and 33.9% of patients who required hospital stay of more than 10 days.Conclusions: Forty percent of admitted patients to ICU had abnormal echocardiography findings with around eighty five percent of them having raised pulmonary artery pressures. Trans-thoracic echocardiography could be used as a prognostication tool of patients admitted to COVID ICU.
An emerging role of platelet-rich plasma and hyperbaric oxygen in the management of inclusion body myositis: a case report
Authors: Katz Alan , Thomson Kristin , Morgan Daniel
Published: May 2022

Inclusion body myositis is an uncommon inflammatory myopathy that causes progressive muscle weakness. Patient management includes immunosuppressant therapy and nonpharmacologic therapies, like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Standard treatment plans focus on the maintenance of muscle strength and function. Many patients do not respond to pharmacologic therapies and due to the progressive nature of this myopathy, patients eventually become debilitated. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and platelet-rich plasma injections were provided as adjunctive therapy to a 70-year-old female patient with inclusion body myositis. After treatment, she had improvement in her muscle function and improved ambulation. This case study highlights the impact of adjunctive therapy in a patient with inclusion body myositis.

Low vision devices are used to improve the visual performance of patient with low vision, hence allowing them to carry out their daily activities. The objective was to provide best low vision correct to a patient with heredomacular degeneration. A 10 year old girl came to our OPD in September 2015. The patient had history of reduced vision in both eyes since, 1 year. She was now unable to distinguish writing on the school blackboard. Her mother had observed over the last 6 months that she held reading matter very close to his face. Her mother also reported that she preferred to study in dim illumination. The patient had no known precipitating factor and no family history of similar symptoms. The patient had history of using glasses. The patient was diagnosed to have adult onset heredomacular degeneration and explained that the visual prognosis is guarded. In view of no definite treatment for this condition, the patient was prescribed spectacles. Heredomacular degenerations tend to be progressive and a long-term follow up is required.

Introducción: El maltrato infantil es definido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud como todo abuso y desatención que sufren niños, niñas y adolescentes. Si bien en Colombia existen informes generales sobre menores víctimas de maltrato, hay pocos estudios acerca de la frecuencia, tipos y características a nivel departamental o municipal, información importante para enfocar acciones de salud colectiva e individual. Objetivo: Realizar una caracterización sociodemográfica, clínica y según el tipo de maltrato en una población de menores de 18 años con antecedente de maltrato infantil, atendidos entre los años 2011 a 2016, en la Clínica Universitaria Bolivariana de Medellín, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y transversal, realizado en el período de tiempo entre enero de 2011 a diciembre de 2016. Se usaron fuentes secundarias de información tipo historia clínica. Se seleccionó una muestra de 29 menores de 18 años tras aplicar criterios de elegibilidad. Resultados: El sexo femenino y la tipología familiar monoparental materna fueron los más frecuentes. El abuso sexual, fue el tipo más común de maltrato, seguido por maltrato físico y psicológico, con diferentes distribuciones según el sexo. Discusión: Las características de salud de las víctimas de maltrato infantil son variables, pero al parecer el sexo y la edad son características que influyen en el tipo del maltrato. Conclusiones: Se realizó un acercamiento desde una visión médica, respecto a la complejidad de una problemática de origen y alcance intersectorial que abarca diferentes formas, las cuales varían por condiciones sociales, familiares y del agresor.

La fístula uro-entérica es una comunicación patológica entre la vía urinaria y digestiva. El compromiso del apéndice es infrecuente y son pocos los casos de fístulas reno-apendiculares en la literatura. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con clínica de fiebre, dolor lumbar e hidronefrosis derecha severa secundaria a cálculo coraliforme en la tomografía de vías urinarias. Manejado inicialmente con antibióticos y nefrostomía bajo fluoroscopia, posteriormente suspendida por paso de contraste al intestino. Se realizó una tomografía contrastada que reportó fístula del riñón al intestino. Se llevó a nefrectomía y se encontró fistula hacía el apéndice, por lo cual se realizó apendicectomía concomitante con mejoría clínica evidente. La patología reportó pielonefritis xantogranulomatosa y apendicitis secundaria. La fístula reno-apendicular posee una clínica inespecífica, la tomografía contrastada es una herramienta diagnóstica y la mayoría se detectan como un hallazgo intraoperatorio. El tratamiento usualmente es quirúrgico, con nefrectomía y reparación del segmento intestinal. MÉD. UIS.2021;34(3): 79-84.
Changes in the use of and reflections on formative assessment: From student teacher to beginning mathematics teacher—a case study
Authors: Andersson Catarina , Erixson Eva-lena
Published: May 2022

In this case study, we follow the career of one student teacher (Ellen) from her pre-service training to her first year as a mathematics teacher. As part of a research project about what it means to become a mathematics teacher, the aim of the study was to gain insight into the development of formative assessment competence. To accomplish this, we used data from video-recorded lessons and audio-recorded conversations to depict changes in classroom practice and reflections on that practice during the study. Our findings show that Ellen made incremental changes in her classroom practice and that these had an impact on classroom interaction, formative assessment processes, and student involvement in those processes. Corresponding changes were identified in Ellen’s reflections, which also indicated that she increased her insight into formative assessment. We discuss our findings in relation both to what it means to become a mathematics teacher and to the development of formative assessment competence.

Published: May 2022

Background: Glioblastoma is the most malignant primary brain tumor with dysregulated microRNAs affecting development and malignant transformation. Methods: Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset (GSE165937) was retrieved, and the differential expressed microRNAs were screened and testified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in glioblastoma cells. miR-342-3p mimic was transfected into U87MG and U251MG cells. EdU staining, cell counting kit-8, and transwell assay were utilized to evaluate the proliferation, migration, and invasion of glioblastoma. The potential binding sequences between miR-342-3p and CDK6 were predicted and testified by TargetScan and luciferase reporter assay. Relative CDK6 and miR-342-3p expression were detected with qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results: Down-regulated miR-342-3p was observed in both glioblastoma tissues and cell lines. Over-expressed miR-342-3p prohibited glioblastoma cells proliferation, migration, and invasion, which could be rescued by further CDK6 transfection. Mechanically, miR-342-3p could directly bind with CDK6 as testified with luciferase analysis and down-regulated CDK6 expression. Conclusion: Down-regulated miR-342-3p may promote glioblastoma cells proliferation, migration, and invasion with up-regulated CDK6, which indicates that miR-342-3p/CDK6 might be a treatment target in glioblastoma development.
