Reducing Ethical Misconduct of Attorneys with Mandatory Ethics Training: A Dynamic Panel Approach
Authors: Fagan Frank
Published: June 2019

State bar associations require bar applicants to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination over a range of scores and earn a variable number continuing legal education credits in ethics annually. Panel data from 2007–2014 across the fifty states and the District of Columbia are used to assess whether these requirements reduce charges of ethical misconduct against attorneys. Deviations GMM estimation provides evidence that increases in MCLE annual credit-hours in ethics reduce charges. Specifically, a one-hour increase in MCLE reduces the number of charges of ethical misconduct by 10.506 %. The result is robust to different types of models and estimators, but requires making several strong assumptions which are discussed in detail.

Authors: Prietsch Rafael Da Fonseca , Pereira Rubens Alves , Corrêa Marcio Nunes , Del Pino Francisco Augusto Burkert
Published: June 2019

Na produção animal, a necessidade de inovação tecnológica para a promoção da saúde e do bem estar é impulsionada por vários fatores, dentre eles o de assegurar a sanidade animal e fornecer segurança aos consumidores. Estratégias inovadoras envolvendo sistemas de liberação modificada de fármacos têm surgido como alternativas promissoras para a terapêutica veterinária. No desenvolvimento destes sistemas de administração de fármacos, vários polímeros biodegradáveis têm sido utilizados por serem compostos facilmente assimiláveis pelo organismo do animal, além de melhorar os efeitos terapêuticos pela compatibilidade com as mais diversas classes farmacêuticas. O sucesso destes sistemas está relacionado com a tecnologia de produção e com as características físico-químicas do polímero, garantindo vantagens como a redução do estresse animal e a diminuição dos riscos com a manipulação e a administração de fármacos. Entretanto, apesar destas vantagens, o preço elevado, a preocupação com resíduos, as questões regulatórias e os desafios na estabilidade da formulação, têm limitado o seu uso. Esta revisão tem por objetivo abordar formas farmacêuticas de liberação modificada de fármacos, utilizadas em ruminantes, buscando compreender as justificativas de seu desenvolvimento, os mecanismos tecnológicos envolvidos e as suas principais vantagens e desvantagens.

Piometra é um processo inflamatório do útero caracterizado pelo acúmulo de secreção purulenta no lúmen uterino associado a uma infecção bacteriana. Pode se apresentar de duas formas, com cérvix aberta ou fechada, sendo esta última considerada como uma urgência veterinária pelo risco de vida para o paciente. O tratamento desta patologia pode ser cirúrgico, através da técnica de ovariosalpingohisterectomia (OSH), ou medicamentoso, devendo sempre ser observado o estado geral do paciente para a correta escolha do tratamento. A ultrassonografia é o exame diagnóstico mais utilizado para esta enfermidade, sendo considerado o de eleição para esta afecção por diversos autores. Este artigo teve como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de piometra de cérvix fechada em uma porquinha da índia (Cavia porcellus). O animal foi submetido ao exame ultrassonográfico devido ao aumento de volume na cavidade abdominal, vindo a óbito durante o procedimento. Não foram observadas alterações fisiológicas e hematológicas. Procedeu-se a realização de exame necroscópico, sendo diagnosticada como causa do óbito a ruptura uterina. Foi constatada a liberação de exsudato purulento proveniente do útero e cornos uterinos para a cavidade abdominal. Concluiu-se que a causa do óbito do animal foi devido à ruptura uterina, com extravasamento do conteúdo uterino na cavidade abdominal, devido a uma piometra na forma de cérvix fechada.

Published: June 2019

Na rotina da clínica médica de equinos, as soluções isotônicas são bastante utilizadas. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre seu real efeito no equilíbrio acidobásico em equinos jovens. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito das soluções poliônicas: cloreto de sódio 0,9%, solução de Ringer com lactato e Ringer com lactato acrescido de bicarbonato de sódio sobre o equilíbrio acidobásico em potros. O experimento foi realizado com quatro potros de 18-24 meses, que receberam as três soluções intravenosas em diferentes momentos. Foram realizadas cinco coletas para hemogasometria (T0, T20, T60, T100 e T140), sendo avaliado o pH, pressão parcial de dióxido de carbono (pCO2), pressão parcial de oxigênio (pO2), saturação de hemoglobina por oxigênio (sO2), bicarbonato de sódio (HCO3-) e excesso ou déficit de bases no sangue (BE). A administração de Ringer com lactato acrescido com bicarbonato de sódio promoveu o incremento nas concentrações das variáveis pH, HCO3- e BE, enquanto as demais soluções avaliadas não apresentaram diferença. Embora tenha potencial alcalinizante, a solução de Ringer com lactato acrescida de bicarbonato de sódio demonstrou efeito transitório.

The evolving (epi)genetic landscape of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours
Authors: Pipinikas Christodoulos P , Berner Alison M , Sposito Teresa , Thirlwell Christina
Published: June 2019

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a relatively rare group of heterogeneous tumours originating from neuroendocrine cells found throughout the body. Pancreatic NENs (PanNENs) are the second most common pancreatic malignancy accounting for 1–3% of all neoplasms developing in the pancreas. Despite having a low background mutation rate, driver mutations in MEN1, DAXX/ATRX and mTOR pathway genes (PTEN, TSC1/2) are implicated in disease development and progression. Their increased incidence coupled with advances in sequencing technologies has reignited the interest in PanNEN research and has accelerated the acquisition of molecular data. Studies utilising such technological advances have further enriched our knowledge of PanNENs’ biology through novel findings, including higher-than-expected presence of germline mutations in 17% of sporadic tumours of no familial background, identification of novel mutational signatures and complex chromosomal rearrangements and a dysregulated epigenetic machinery. Integrated genomic studies have progressed the field by identifying the synergistic action between different molecular mechanisms, while holding the promise for deciphering disease heterogeneity. Although our understanding is far from being complete, these novel findings have provided the optimism of shaping the future of PanNEN research, ultimately leading to an era of precision medicine for NETs. Here, we recapitulate the existing knowledge on pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) and discuss how recent, novel findings have furthered our understanding of these complex tumours.

Published: June 2019

Este estudio muestra una situación que se presentó en los estudiantes pertenecientes a la población indígena de la carrera de Enseñanza del Inglés del Campus Coto. Dichos estudiantes lograron acceder a la educación universitaria, sin embargo, esta población, de acuerdo a las entrevistas realizadas y a lo observado estadísticamente en los años anteriores, no logra permanecer en la carrera. En algunos casos no logran pasar el primer curso que se recibe de la lengua inglesa (en este caso Inglés Integrado 1), como consecuencia, los estudiantes deciden desertar temporal o definitivamente. De igual manera, el porcentaje de alumnos que logran concluir con la carrera es bajo. Debido a los hechos anteriores, esta investigación tiene como objetivo conocer cuál es el factor más significativo que causa que los estudiantes de población indígena no logren terminar, deserten o repitan continuamente cursos de la carrera de Enseñanza del Inglés. Estos discentes además de tener que sobrepasar el desafío de alejarse de sus territorios, deben enfrentar un choque cultural entre su lengua indígena, la lengua castellana y la lengua a adquirir, en este caso, el inglés. Asimismo, se investigaron los registros acerca de cuántos estudiantes eran admitidos en la carrera mencionada y el posible cambio de los mismos para otras carreras. Siendo así, la carrera de Enseñanza del Inglés es un objetivo desafiante para la población indígena de la zona.

Leucorreducción Universal en Costa Rica: ¿Es realmente urgente?
Authors: Camargo Cárdenas César
Published: June 2019

La transfusión sanguínea confiere beneficios clínicos evidentes; sin embargo, posee algunos riesgos y resultados adversos si no se realiza bajo los controles estrictos que garanticen la seguridad de la donación, almacenamiento y transfusión adecuados. La leucorreducción es el proceso mediante el cual los leucocitos se eliminan de la sangre donada, y los estándares actuales de la Asociación Americana de Bancos de Sangre establece un valor residual de glóbulos blancos <5 × 106 por unidad. El beneficio clínico de la aplicación selectiva se traduce en pacientes sometidos a múltiples transfusiones, inmunocomprometidos e internados en las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos. La leucorreducción universal consiste en realizar este procedimiento en todas las transfusiones a cualquier tipo de paciente y los beneficios comprobados van dirigidos a disminuir las reacciones febriles no hemolíticas, las aloinmunizaciones HLA y las transmisiones virales. Desde el punto de vista médico, la leucorreducción universal parece estar justificada, pero el costo de implementación es significativo. Al estimar los costos en Costa Rica con base en las unidades colectadas en el 2017, la implementación universal sobrepasaría los $2 millones, una inversión significativa para un país de ingresos medios.
Melatonina: ¿Algo más que ciclo circadiano? Aspectos fisiológicos, fisiopatológicos y terapéuticos
Authors: Léon Páez Pamela , Murillo Rojas Fernando , González Castellón Abigail , Bartels Mora Dylan , Solís Vargas Monserrat
Published: June 2019

La melatonina, es una hormona sintetizada principalmente por la glándula pineal, su secreción tiene un ciclo circadiano definido y presenta valores séricos altos durante la noche y casi indetectables durante el día. En humanos este ciclo depende fundamentalmente de factores postraduccionales como la ubiquitinación y proteólisis de la enzima arilaquilamina N-acetiltransferasa. Durante años se consideró esta glándula como la única fuente endógena de melatonina. Actualmente, se conoce que es sintetizada también por la retina, el tracto gastrointestinal, la piel, las plaquetas, la medula ósea, el hígado y otras células. Existen dos tipos de receptores melatoninérgicos descritos en humanos, los cuales están distribuidos en múltiples sistemas orgánicos. Se ha descrito el rol que cumple la melatonina como regulador del tránsito gastrointestinal y como contribuyente al estado de euglucemia. También funge como agente antioxidante en el contexto del infarto agudo del miocardio y la encefalopatía hipóxica isquémica. Se cuenta con varios agonistas para esta molécula con indicaciones específicas. En este momento, existen múltiples estudios clínicos que buscan ampliar los horizontes terapéuticos de la melatonina.

Published: June 2019

La leiomiomatosis intravascular es una patología poco común, se describe como una proliferación benigna generalmente compuesta por células de músculo liso provenientes de la pared de las venas uterinas, esta masa tiene la habilidad de invadir las venas gonadales, iliacas y renales hasta la vena cava inferior, y en algunos casos excepcionales puede alcanzar las cavidades diestras del corazón, causando patología embólica u obstructiva. Por su baja incidencia y los pocos casos reportados, el manejo de la leiomiomatosis intravascular produce confusión en su diagnóstico y tratamiento. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 36 años de edad, quien consulta al servicio de emergencias por presentar dolor abdominal, deposiciones diarreicas y poca tolerancia a la vía oral, asociado a edema en miembros inferiores de cinco meses de evolución. Presenta antecedentes de una histerectomía con salpingooforectomía izquierda. Utilizando ecografía abdominal, angiotomografia computarizada y la ecografía transtorácica, se comprobó la presencia de una masa tumoral la cual invade las venas iliacas, renal izquierda, vena cava inferior hasta alcanzar las cavidades cardiacas derechas. Se decidió un manejo quirúrgico en dos tiempos. El análisis patológico posquirúrgico determinó el diagnóstico de una leiomiomatosis intravascular con extensión de grandes vasos.
Merle allele variations in the Mudi dog breed and their effects on phenotypes

Published: June 2019

A retrotransposon insertion in the SILV gene is associated with a peculiar phenotype of dog, known as a merle. It is characterised by various areas of their coat colour becoming diluted due to a malfunction in the eumelanin-producing pigment cells. Recent studies have shown that the exact size of the short interspersed element (SINE) insertion is in correlation with specific phenotypic attributes, but was not able to absolutely confine dogs to a certain colour pattern. Our study focused on the merle variations occurring in the Mudi breed. Altogether, 123 dog samples from 11 countries were tested and genotyped. The exact length of the merle alleles were determined by automated fluorescent capillary fragment analysis. The most frequent merle genotype in this Mudi sample collection was the ‘classic’ merle (m/M: 61.8%), whereas other variants, such as atypical (m/Ma and m/Ma+: 5.7%), harlequin (m/Mh: 13.8%), double merle (M/M: 0.8%) and mosaic profiles (17.9%) were also observed. The practical significance of testing this mutation is that, phenotypically, not only merle dogs are carriers of this insertion, but also the so-called hidden merle individuals (where the merle phenotype is fully covered by the pheomelanin-dominated colouration) are potentially capable of producing unintentionally homozygous ‘double merle’ progeny with ophthalmologic, viability and auditory impairments.

Authors: Merlin Tristan , Veres-Nyéki Kata
Published: June 2019

Little information is available about the management of adrenalectomies in veterinary anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to describe the anaesthetic techniques, the complication rate and outcome of these cases. Data were collected retrospectively from patients' records. Descriptive statistics were performed with Student's t-tests and Chi-square tests where appropriate. Forty-one cases were included. The mean age was 124.7 ± 29.4 months and the median body weight was 23.1 kg (5.3–69 kg). Carcinoma was the most common diagnosis (34.1%). Premedication was most commonly achieved with methadone alone (70.7%) IV. Propofol was the most common induction agent (39%). An infusion of opioids (80.4%) and an epidural injection of morphine (70.7%) were the most common analgesic techniques. Hypotension was the most common complication observed (51.2%). The mortality rate was 14.6%. The lowest recorded oesophageal temperature was statistically associated with the incidence of haemorrhage (P = 0.025). The invasion of the vena cava (P = 0.001) was significantly associated with haemorrhagic complications. The survival rate was better when patients received hydrocortisone intra-operatively (P = 0.026). This study highlights some possible association between the anaesthetic management and the outcome of the procedure.
Rapid and Easy Modified Plate-based Screening Methods for Quantitative and Qualitative Detection of Protease Production by Fungi
Authors: Karimi K. , Narmani A. , Pertot I. , Arzanlou M.
Published: June 2019

Proteases constitute a significant part of cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs)
produced by fungal biocontrol agents and particularly crucial in mycoparasitism
of fungal phytopathogens. Plate-based screening methods are routinely used for
screening protease-producing microorganisms including fungi. Skim milk agar
(SMA) is one of the most popular media for the detection of protease producing
bacteria. However, SMA is not efficient to test fast growing fungi, because it
does not give an estimation of the actual amount of secreted protease produced
by fungal inocula. In the current study, the efficacy of two modified
plate-screening methods, including split-SMA (SSMA) and minimal medium
supplemented with skim milk (MSMW) was assessed for detection of protease
production by three representative fungal strains including Trichoderma
longibrachiatum strain N, Beauveria bassiana
strain B and Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL. Protease
production was revealed on the three tested media by the three strains. However,
the halo diameter of the fungal strains (a proxy for protease production) was
the smallest on SMA. Furthermore, protease production could not be detected for
T. longibrachiatum strain N on SMA due to its fast growth;
while it showed the highest protease activity on both modified media compared
with the other strains. According to the result of this study, the SSMA medium
is an easy and more accurate method compared with the two other different
methods as it displays the actual amount of protease produced by fungal strains
and therefore this method is recommended for quantitative and qualitative
detection of protease production by slow and fast growing fungi.

Published: June 2019

Tulang ikan Gurame dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai material penyerap (adsorben) karena memiliki kadar kalsium fosfat yang tinggi yaitu sebesar 65%. kalsium hidroksiapatit (Ca10(PO4)6OH2) dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai adsorben karena kalsium hidroksiapatit merupakan biokeramik yang dapat mengadsorpsi logam dengan cara pertukaran ion. Pada penelitian ini ion logam Cu(II) dipilih sebagai adsorbat karena Cu(II) merupakan salah satu pencemar badan air yang berbahaya bagi tubuh. Adsorben tulang ikan Gurame dikarakterisasi dengan XRD, XRF, SEM, dan FTIR sehingga diketahui struktur adsorben yang terbentuk adalah hidroksiapatit (Ca10(PO4)6OH2) dengan kristalinitas rendah dengan nilai rasio mol Ca/P sebesar 1,97 karena dominan kalsium pada adsorben. Agar didapatkan kondisi adsorpsi optimum dilakukan optimasi terhadap konsentrasi larutan Cu(II), pH, waktu kontak dan massa adsorben. Hasil optimasi didapatkan konsentrasi larutan Cu(II) optimum adalah 40 mg/L dengan pH 4, waktu kontak 45 menit dan massa adsorben 1,0 gram. Dari hasil penelitian disimpulkan tulang ikan Gurame dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai adsorben logam Cu(II) karena memiliki efisiensi adsorpsi sebesar 89,5% dan kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 7,1604 mg/g.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the presence and extension of the attribute “Community Orientation” of Primary Health Care from the perspective of health services adult users from the Municipality of Juazeiro do Norte-CE. Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional and evaluative study, carried out in 14 Basic Health Units, from October 2016 to June 2017, using the Primary Care Assessment Tool. Results: The attribute assessment was negative, reaching expressive negative responses in the seven districts, with a mean score of 3.8 (±3.8). The Raw Score (RS) reached a mean of 6.6 and the Derived Score (DS) was assigned a score of 6.4, below the cut-off point ≥ 6.60. Conclusion: The low value of the DS represents that units are not providers of PHC, suggesting fragility in the integration of services with the community and the need to promote greater discussion among agents, when designing measures of intervention and improvement of scores.
A stochastic approach for measuring the uncertainty of claims reserves
Authors: Carvalho Bruno Domingues Ramos de , Carvalho João Vinícius de França
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT This paper aims to obtain metrics for quantifying the variability of technical provisions for claims by making use of deterministic and stochastic models. In short, everything that the traditional methods do not provide (measures of variability and capital insufficiency) are of fundamental importance for efficient actuarial management. The proposed methodology reveals the probability of insufficiency of the allocated capital to cover the commitments assumed by the insurer. In order to maintain resources to cover the indemnities payable to the insured, insurance companies include technical provisions in their balance sheets. Technical provisions are estimates and are therefore a source of fluctuations in the profit and loss statement of insurers, so understanding and protecting against these adverse variations is fundamental for efficient actuarial management. The stochastic approach enables internal models to be studied for solvency capital, which is a subject that lacks studies in the Brazilian market, and which is determined by a standard model pre-defined by the regulatory body. Stochastic modeling was proposed for Incurred But Not Reported Reserve using bootstrapping and, to validate this approach, the results were compared with the traditional approaches using real Motor Hull and Motor Third Part Liability data from a Brazilian insurance company. There are advantages of adopting stochastic methods instead of deterministic ones to determine technical provisions for claims, since it is possible to empirically estimate the probability distributions. The quantiles of these curves reveal the estimated probability of the real value exceeding a particular level of provisioning in order to extract the probability of capital shortage that the traditional methods do not provide. In addition, the results show that the traditional methods are too conservative, allocating more capital than necessary.
Teacher motivation in stricto sensu postgraduation: an analysis based on self-determination theory,

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to analyze the motivational factors that lead accounting sciences professors to teach on stricto sensu postgraduate courses, based on self-determination theory. Research on motivation in education in the area of accounting sciences mostly concerns student motivation. Thus, there are few studies related to teacher motivation, especially in the area of accounting sciences and in stricto sensu postgraduate programs. Teacher motivation is directly linked to the teaching-learning process and student motivation, so it is important to identify what motivates these teachers and, given this, to act in a way that the motivation, or lack of it, will not interfere with the quality of teaching. The importance of teachers in the quality of education is indisputable and inevitably relates to the motivation to remain in the teaching career, taking both personal and professional aspects into account. The Work Tasks Motivation Scale for Teachers was applied and answered by 108 professors from the 33 stricto sensu postgraduate programs in the area of accounting sciences. The data were analyzed in an aggregated way, using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and chi-squared tests, with the purpose of assessing the relationship between levels of motivation and age group, time teaching, and time teaching in the stricto sensu postgraduate course. Most of the professors analyzed are extrinsically motivated via identified regulation; however this is less related to access to financial resources and more linked to the prestige that teaching on the stricto sensu postgraduate course brings. Also, the overall mean of the dimensions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation was shown to be higher for teachers of the female gender and who work in private institutions.

ABSTRACT. The ability to repeat words is almost always preserved in thalamic aphasia. The pathophysiology of both thalamic aphasia and preservation of repetition are not fully understood. In a case of severe aphasia with preserved repetition after a left thalamic hemorrhage, MRI disclosed left thalamic lesion and loss of fractional anisotropy in the left centrum semiovale. FDG-PET showed severe hypometabolism in the left cerebral hemisphere, except for superior and transverse temporal gyri, calcarine fissure and frontopolar regions. Primary sensory function may be less functionally dependent on thalamic connections than heteromodal and paralimbic areas, which have connections with several thalamic nuclei. The extensive cortical hypometabolism due to diaschisis may have been responsible for the severity of the aphasia, whereas the less severe reduction of metabolism in the superior and transverse temporal gyri, and also, albeit less evident, in Broca’s area, might explain the preservation of repetition.

Resumo As cadeias de suprimentos de alimentos estão intrinsecamente ligadas à presença das embalagens, uma vez que estas são imprescindíveis para garantir a proteção e a preservação de alimentos dos centros de produção até o consumidor. Além disso, as embalagens facilitam as etapas de manuseio, transporte e armazenagem, tendo como consequências a melhoria das operações e a redução de custos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempenho de três diferentes embalagens para acondicionamento de molho de tomate (lata, stand-up pouch e embalagem cartonada) em relação à logística de distribuição na área urbana. Para essa avaliação, foi utilizada a metodologia Packaging Scorecard, na qual são entrevistados os profissionais presentes ao longo da distribuição desses produtos. Os resultados mostraram que, para a cadeia de suprimentos estudada, a lata apresentou o melhor desempenho global. A embalagem cartonada apresentou desempenho global muito próximo ao da lata, tendo melhor desempenho em três dos quatro locais de avaliação. Além disso, os resultados obtidos oferecem uma visão sistêmica da cadeia, com a identificação de pontos críticos das embalagens, e podem ser utilizados pelos profissionais dos diferentes locais de distribuição visando à melhoria do desempenho logístico das embalagens.

Resumo Esta investigação teve como objetivo o estudo das propriedades psicométricas e posterior validação da Escala de Motivação Académica proposta por Guimarães e Bzuneck (2008), em Portugal, através da utilização de duas amostras, a Amostra A constituída por 568 estudantes do ensino superior público e a Amostra B constituída por 589 estudantes igualmente do ensino superior publico, com uma abrangência nacional. Para tratamento dos dados foram utilizados os softwares SPSS 25 e AMOS 25. Foram conduzidas duas análises fatoriais confirmatórias em cada amostra e uma análise de grupos múltiplos, sendo que os resultados apontaram para a validade da escala reespecificada na avaliação da motivação no ensino superior e sua robustez, com destaque para correlações elevadas entre as dimensões Motivação Extrínseca por Regulação Integrada e Motivação Intrínseca, Motivação Extrínseca, por Regulação Integrada e Motivação Extrínseca por Regulação Introjetada e por Motivação Extrínseca por Regulação Externa e Desmotivação. Por outro lado, verificou-se que o modelo de escala proposto é invariante.
L5-S1 SURVIVAL AFTER INTERBODY FUSION BY LATERAL APPROACH UNTIL L5 IN DEGENERATIVE DISEASE

Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT Objectives: Whether or not to include L5-S1 in multiple level lumbar fusions is not yet a consensus in the literature. The option to preserve L5-S1 maintains the mobile segment and the possibility of a natural fit to the sagittal alignment of the lumbar spine. However, a long fusion above L5-S1 may accelerate the degenerative process and an extension to the sacrum may be necessary in the future. In this study, we evaluated the survival of the L5-S1 level after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) of 3-4 levels up to L5 and attempted to identify risk factors that could guide the selection of cases. Methods: Retrospective study in a single center. Inclusion: Patients that submitted to interbody fusion (LLIF) from 3-4 levels to L5 due to degenerative spine disease with at least 5 years of follow-up. Exclusion: L5 sacralization or L5-S1 disc ankylosis. We evaluated the reoperation rate including L5-S1 disc. We reviewed the preoperative images regarding coronal Cobb angle, lumbar lordosis, pelvic incidence; distal fractional curve; radiographic classification of DDD (modified by Weiner and Pfirrmann), as well as demographics parameters. These parameters were compared between the case group (reoperated) and the control group. Results: Forty-seven patients were included achieving a success rate of inclusion of 81%; the mean age was 69.1 years, 83% were women, and the mean of operated levels was 3.2. The survival rate of L5-S1 level was 89.6% at 5-year follow-up. No differences were found between the groups regarding the parameter evaluated. Conclusions: The L5-S1 survival rate was 896% after LLIF of 3-4 levels up to L5 at 5-year follow-up. Statistically no risk factors were found to warrant preoperative inclusion of L5-S1.

Authors: Nunes Andreia Mercier , Mendonça Nuno Correia , Mineiro Jorge , Campagnolo João Lameiras
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to compare the use of halo-gravity traction (HGT) with and without previous anterior release, in terms of curve reduction, for the treatment of pediatric severe spinal deformity. Methods: From 2010 to 2016, all patients treated with HGT prior to instrumentation for scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis were reviewed. They were assessed by deformity etiology, previous anterior release, instrumentation procedure used, traction protocol, major Cobb angle before traction, after the protocol, and after the instrumentation procedure. Twelve patients met these criteria and constituted the sample groups: Group I (n=7) with anterior release and Group II (n=5) without anterior release. Results: The average pre-traction major curve Cobb angles were 114.9o and 108.4º for Group I and II, respectively (P>0.05). After HGT, both groups achieved a significant reduction in curve angle (P<0.05). Group I presented an average Cobb angle of 95.0o after HGT, representing a 17.3% (19.8o) curve reduction. Group II presented a Cobb angle of 80.1o, representing a 25.2% (28.4o) curve reduction. The difference between the two groups in relation to the reduction of major curve after HGT was not statistically significant (P=0.073). After the surgical procedure, the correction achieved was significantly improved (P<0.05), without statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). No major HGT related complications were reported. Conclusions: Anterior release prior to HGT did not increase major curve correction after posterior surgery for severe pediatric idiopathic and syndromic scoliosis. HGT is an effective and safe technique, though it frequently presents minor and transitory complications. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective Comparative Study.

Abstract Forty specimens of the Narrowstripe cardinal fish Apogon exostigma were examined for gastrointestinal helminthes, and 62.5% were infected with a new trypanorhynchid larval cestode parasite. The morphology of its larval stage was studied based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The data revealed plerocercoid larvae characterized by a pyriform body lined with prominent microtriches; the acraspedote scolex had four overlapping bothridia; four tentacles protruded through the pars bothridialis; the armature of the tentacles was homeocanthous, homeomorphous, and consisted of falcate compact rose-thorn-shaped tentacular hooks; four oval-shaped bulbs in pars bulbosa; and short appendix at terminal end of the body. Molecular analysis of the 18S rRNA sequences verified the taxonomy of this parasite and supported its morphology. We discovered that there was a close identity (up to 87%) with alternative species obtained for comparison from GenBank. The data also showed that there were high blast scores and low divergence values between this parasite and other Tentaculariidae species. The phyletic analysis showed that parasite sequences in conjunction with existing data places this trypanorhynchid species among the Tentaculariidae. This species is deeply embedded within genus Nybelinia with close relationships to Nybelinia queenslandensis as a putative sister taxon.

Abstract Geese, ducks, mallards, and swans are birds of the order Anseriformes, which are found in the wild, in zoos and parks, and raised for meat consumption. Toxoplasma gondii, Sarcocystis sp., and Neospora caninum are protozoans of several species of animals. Wild and domestic birds can serve as intermediate hosts, disseminators and potential sources of infection of these protozoa to humans through contaminated meat. The aims of this study were: (i) to perform a serological survey of T. gondii, Sarcocystis sp. and N. caninum in geese (Anser sp.) from public parks and from captivity and (ii) to compare seroprevalence between these two locations. Antibodies were detected by Immunofluorescence antibody test using the serum of 149 geese. Antibodies to Sarcocystis sp., T. gondii, and N. caninum were detected in 28.18%, 18% and 0.67% of geese, respectively; 57% of geese from urban parks and 26.53% of geese from captivity were seropositive for at least one protozoa. The results indicate environmental contamination, particularly for the occurrence of antibodies against T. gondii – a zoonosis that causes toxoplasmosis and is transmitted through oocyte ingestion. This is the first serological survey of T. gondii, Sarcocystis sp. and N. caninum in geese from urban parks in Curitiba, Brazil.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK RAPORLARININ KURUMSAL MARKA BAKIŞ AÇISI İLE ANALİZİ: ARÇELİK ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: ARSLAN Zeynep , ALBAYRAK Raif Serkan
Published: June 2019

Çalışmada, bir sürdürülebilirlik raporu örneği kullanılarak,
kurumsal marka kavramlarının sürdürülebilirlik unsurlarıyla nasıl
ilişkilendirildiği tartışılmıştır. Araştırmanın kurumsal
sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin değişkenleri, BİST Sürdürülebilirlik Endeksi’ne dâhil
olma kriterlerini temel alan 54 adet unsurdan oluşmaktadır. Kurumsal markaya
ilişkin değişkenler ise, Hatch ve Schultz’un (2003) vizyon, kültür ve imaj
modelini temel alan 51 adet unsurdan oluşmaktadır. Buna göre, Arçelik
firmasının 2015 yılına ait kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik raporu, ilk adımda toplam
105 unsura göre kodlanarak tematik içerik analizi yapılmış, bu analiz sonunda
ortaya çıkan kavramlar arası yakınlık ilişkileri Semantik Ağ Analizi
kullanılarak görselleştirilmiş ve kümeleme analizine tabii tutulmuştur. Analiz
sonucunda 3 adet bulgu ortaya çıkmıştır. İlki; Arçelik’in sürdürülebilirlik
raporunda, sürdürülebilirliğin ekonomik-sosyal boyutu ile çalışanları odak
noktaya aldığı, sürdürülebilirliğin uygulamasını öncelikle onlar üzerinde
gerçekleştirdiği ve çalışanlar vasıtasıyla diğer çoklu paydaşlara ulaşmakta
olduğudur. İkincisi, sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel ve ekonomik boyutları ile
müşteriler ve tedarikçilerin yakın ilişkide kullanılmasıdır. Sonuncusu,
çalışanlar ve tedarikçiler arasında etik algı, müşterilere karşı ise çevreye
duyarlı imaj oluşturmanın amaçlandığıdır. Bu çalışmanın alan yazına iki katkısı
bulunmaktadır. Birincisi, sürdürülebilirlik raporlarının önceden belirlenen bir
perspektiften (kurumsal marka) incelenmesi ve ikincisi kavram frekansları
yerine analizde kavramlar arası ilişkilerin kullanılmasıdır.
