Traços de pesquisa no cotidiano docente: os horários pedagógicos como oportunidade de estudos
Authors: SOUZA Débora Roquini de , VALLIN Celso
Published: October 2019

La preocupación con el tiempo para los estudios de los maestros nació en 1996 con las Directrices Nacionales de Educación y la Ley de Bases n ° 9394, que definían que los sistemas educativos garantizarían un período reservado para estudios, planificación y evaluación, incluidos en la carga de trabajo. Considerando la palabra estudios, nos proponemos investigar qué condiciones favorecen o imposibilitan que los profesores estudien con el objetivo de saber cómo estos estudios ayudan en la articulación entre la teoría y la práctica, incluso si no presentan la sistemática requerida por la investigación científica. Es un estudio de caso descriptivo en el enfoque cualitativo con investigación de campo con maestros de escuelas primarias de dos escuelas estatales en el sur de Minas Gerais. Encontramos rastros de investigación en la enseñanza diaria de una escuela que rescató el propósito de las reuniones pedagógicas y nos llevó a concluir que es posible realizar más estudios a través de la participación de los maestros. Hacemos hincapié en una relación entre la investigación y la educación continua, señalando la necesidad de apoyo de los departamentos de enseñanza para que la investigación sea tratada como una actitud diaria incluida en la carga de trabajo.

Introducción. El trasplante renal constituye la mejor opción de tratamiento para los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica terminal. La supervivencia del injerto es de gran importancia y puede ser afectada por factores inmunológicos o no inmunológicos; esto unido al número de pacientes en las listas de espera, hace necesario definir estrategias de manejo que permitan tener mejores resultados a largo plazo. Objetivo. Determinar las características clínicas y humorales, y los de- senlaces en receptores de trasplante renal o combinado hígado-riñón, altamente sensibilizados, que recibieron profilaxis combinada con inmunoglobulina intravenosa y plasmaféresis en el Hospital San Vicente Fundación, en Colombia. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, observacional, descriptivo, que incluyó los pacientes trasplantados entre el 4 de julio de 2010 y el 19 de abril de 2017. Como variables se incluyeron, entre otras, la etiología de la enfermedad renal crónica, el tipo de terapia recibida, y el tiempo en lista de espera en días. Como desenlace se evaluó la presencia de rechazo, el tipo de rechazo, la pérdida del injerto, las complicaciones y la muerte. Resultados. Del total de 25 pacientes, el 100% recibió inmunoglobulina intravenosa y el 84% plasmaféresis. El 12% presen-tó rechazo del injerto, todos de tipo humoral, y el 20% perdió el injerto. Discusión. A pesar de la gran variedad de protocolos propuestos en la literatura, en esta población especial no se ha establecido un protocolo óptimo de inmunosupresión. El protocolo en nuestra pequeña cohorte no tuvo un impacto negativo en el porcentaje de infecciones postrasplante ni en la pérdida del injerto renal, pero sí redujo el tiempo en las listas de espera; por lo tanto, se requieren estudios adicionales para confirmar los hallazgos encontrados en este estudio.

A Invenção dos Caminhos Reais do Ouro: Formação Territorial e as Estratégias de Apropriação Territorial dos Eixos de Circulação no Século XVIII
Authors: Straforini Rafael
Published: October 2019

Este texto tem por objetivo analisar as estratégias empregadas pela elite colonial brasileira no processo de apropriação territorial do Caminho Real do Ouro (Minas Gerais -- Rio de Janeiro), por meio de concessão de sesmarias na primeira metade do século XVIII, cujo objetivo era tirar o máximo proveito da circulação obrigatória de pessoas e mercadorias por meio do abastecimento de alimentos, cobranças de passagens, aluguel de ranchos, etc. nos pousos e fazendas que foram se formando nestas sesmarias. O estudo baseia-se na análise de fontes documentais transcritas em periódicos específicos e obras de referência. Conclui-se que para a compreensão da formação territorial brasileira no século XVIII, não basta analisar isoladamente a mineração aurífera, mas toda a sua cadeia produtiva com destaque para o sistema de circulação que não só uniu o interior ao litoral, como também imprimiu uma territorialidade própria ao longo desses eixos de circulação.
Surtos de Crescimento de Manaus
Authors: Becker Bertha Koiffmann
Published: October 2019

São poucas as cidades dinâmicas na Amazônia. As que existem o são, sobretudo, graças ao comércio associado a posições privilegiadas quanto à circulação e aos recursos a privilégios políticos, e a uma indústria moderna, no caso singular de Manaus. O modelo de Manaus uma cidade industrial planejada em meio à floresta e de marca cabocla pode ser considerado bem sucedido. Entretanto, sua história, registra surtos intermitentes que correspondem à expansão e colapso. O legado do surto - ou surtos -- vividos por uma cidade, é um fator importante a considerar na diferenciação das cidades. Manaus caracteriza-se por dois surtos bem marcados. Após longos séculos de ausência de crescimento, tanto de crescimento demográfico como econômico, dá-se um vertiginoso surto da borracha em poucas décadas, seguido de colapso. Encerrada a estagnação, novo surto se configura a partir de 1967, por iniciativa do Estado brasileiro. Baseado na indústria, revela certa sustentabilidade, respondendo pela posição atual da cidade como metrópole regional. A ausência de dinamismo através dos séculos revela, contudo, uma outra função cumprida nesse período: a de assegurar a posse por Portugal das terras amazônicas no interior da América do Sul.

Uma Floresta Urbanizada? Legado e Desdobramentos de uma Teoria sobre o Significado da Cidade e do Urbano na Amazônia
Authors: Trindade Júnior Saint-Clair Cordeiro da
Published: October 2019

A análise apresentada no presente artigo é inspirada nas reflexões teóricas elaboradas pela geógrafa brasileira Bertha Becker, notadamente em legado conceitual que associa diretamente a Amazônia a uma “fronteira econômica e tecnoecológicag no contexto territorial brasileiro. Tendo em vista esse pressuposto, leva-se em conta a ideia de “fronteira urbana”, também proposta pela mesma autora, como um processo capaz de explicar, em grande medida, a atual dinâmica regional, assim como uma noção em potencial para compreender a Amazônia na sua diversidade e complexidade socioespacial.
Cidades Médias: um Viés pelos Deslocamentos Pendulares
Authors: Reolon Cleverson Alexsander , Miyazaki Vitor Koiti
Published: October 2019

Entre outros aspectos, as cidades médias caracterizam-se pela importância de suas funções urbanas e, consequentemente, pelos papéis que desempenham em âmbito regional. Tais centros exercem forte atratividade sobre seu entorno em decorrência de suas amplas ofertas de trabalho, atividades de comércio e de serviços especializados, configurando um cenário de constante movimento. Levando-se em conta este cenário, neste trabalho analisa-se os deslocamentos pendulares, tomando-se por base os microdados da amostra dos censos demográficos de 2000 e de 2010, disponibilizados pelo IBGE. Seis cidades médias localizadas nos estados de São Paulo e Paraná são enfocadas. Os resultados mostram que o cenário urbano-regional, mesmo no interior do país, tem se tornado gradativamente mais complexo no que se refere aos deslocamentos entre municípios. A crescente concentração das atividades econômicas nas principais cidades do país tem reforçado mudanças de hábito da população, resultando num aumento dos deslocamentos convergentes a elas, mas mais que isso, configurando um cenário complexo de interações espaciais.

Published: October 2019

O Pagus -- Laboratório da Paisagem, do Departamento de Geografia/Instituto de Geociências da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, tem como objetivo desenvolver estudos no âmbito da paisagem em suas diversas perspectivas. As pesquisas de seus integrantes propõem, em sua maioria, métodos e metodologias de leitura da paisagem, discussões de conceitos e intervenções no espaço geográfico. A partir do entrelaçamento de olhares interdisciplinares, principalmente da arquitetura, artes, biologia, educação, geografia, turismo e urbanismo, este artigo busca desenhar uma espécie de mosaico das relações entre as diversas abordagens do conceito paisagem dentro do Pagus, tanto no que se refere à pesquisa quanto à atuação profissional de seus pesquisadores. Nesse cruzamento, percebe-se que cada investigação busca relacionar a ideia de paisagem concreta e paisagem fenomenológica, ora trazendo a dimensão cultural para uma pesquisa centrada na paisagem material, ora buscando resultados operativos e estratégicos de planejamento territorial em uma pesquisa dedicada às subjetividades da paisagem imaginada, ora projetando ações nos espaços geográficos urbanos e rurais.

Authors: Moura Rachel De Almeida
Published: October 2019

O objetivo de analisar a fotografia como fonte de conhecimento geográfico é o que deu origem a este artigo. As imagens divulgadas pela fotografia são guias que à distância conseguem comunicar. Para isso, realiza-se uma reflexão da fotografia enquanto artefato cultural e visual que se aproxima do conceito de paisagem, e apresenta-se o seu entendimento pela teoria da imagem. O resultado desta reflexão configura-se num mix de metodologias visuais e fontes que juntas constituem um caminho possível para a geografia.
Interações entre Geografia e Educação Ambiental. O Caso da Implantação da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá
Authors: Pinto Vicente Paulo Dos Santos
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo é uma revisão bibliográfica que se propõe abordar interações entre os campos da ciência geográfica e da educação ambiental diante do enfrentamento da crise ambiental contemporânea, procurando evidenciar o meio ambiente como matriz do pensamento geográfico, a educação ambiental como ciência e movimento social decorrente do ambientalismo e as possíveis contribuições do saber/fazer geográfico para o campo da educação ambiental. Sob o prisma da questão do método geográfico proposto por Becker Gomes (1993), busca-se uma análise crítica acerca da proposta do desenvolvimento sustentável como um modelo logístico para ordenar o uso do território. Para tanto, é discutida a implantação da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá na Amazônia brasileira no final do século XX com ênfase na concepção de educação ambiental proposta para a unidade de conservação. Como resultado, evidencia-se a relevância de Mamirauá como uma experiência de gestão territorial concreta que expressa uma nova racionalidade identificada com os princípios básicos do discurso do desenvolvimento sustentável que para sua implantação se utiliza, como uma de suas estratégias, de um subprograma de educação ambiental.

Um artigo de opinião, recentemente publicado, reacendeu o debate sobre se a composição interdisciplinar que atualmente existe na área da Geografia é um vestígio da história ou uma atual e potencial fonte de vitalidade intelectual. Neste artigo nós adotamos esta última postura e destacamos os benefícios da integração prolongada da Geografia Física e Geografia Humana crítica. Por razões políticas e pragmáticas, nós denominamos esta área de pesquisa e prática indissociáveis de Geografia Física Crítica (GFC). A GFC combina a atenção crítica às relações de poder com o conhecimento profundo das ciências biofísicas ou tecnológicas a serviço da transformação social e ambiental. Argumentamos que a pesquisa da GFC, quando realizada por indivíduos ou equipes, podem melhorar a qualidade intelectual e expandir a relevância política da Geografia Física e da Humana críticas, dado que é cada vez mais impraticável analisar sistemas naturais e sociais separadamente: as paisagens sociobiofísicas são tanto produto de relações desiguais de poder, do legado histórico do colonialismo e das disparidades raciais e de gênero, quanto de fatores físicos como a hidrologia, ecologia e alterações climáticas. Neste texto, nós apresentamos os trabalhos existentes em GFC, discutimos os principais benefícios de um engajamento crítico integrador na pesquisa, no ensino e na extensão; e oferecemos nossas reflexões coletivas sobre como fazer uma GFC viável.

Published: October 2019

يُجمِع علماء الغرب المنصفون على أن الفكر الجغرافي قد شهد تقدما ملحوظاً على أيدي علماء المسلمين؛ الذين أسهموا في إنارة السبيل أمام العلماء الباحثين; وذلك بتوضيح عدة مواضيع تتعلق بالكون والفلك وموضع الأرض منه، ودرسوا الأرض وشكلها وأبعادها، والمعمور ,واللامعمور وتحديد القبلة. وفي هذه المواضيع يبدو التأثير اليوناني واضحا ; وبخاصة آراء كل من أرسطو وبطليموس. كما درسوا معظم الظاهرات الجغرافية وكانت مجهوداتهم رائدة في تطور الجغرافيا الحديثة; فقد أخذوا وحفظوا وصححوا العلوم الجغرافية لمن كان قبلهم وأضافوا إليها في فترةٍ كادت أن تضيع فيها العلوم أثناء العصور الوسطى أو المظلمة التي أرخت سدولها ردحاً طويلاً من الزمن على الغرب وقد خاض أولئك العلماء الرواد في مواضيع جغرافية عدة طبيعية وبشرية، إذ جاءت دراساتهم كمصابيح نور أضاءت الطريق لمن خلفهم وساهمت بدور كبير في تطور الجغرافيا.
وتكمن مشكلة هذا البحث في تساؤل مفاده : ما طبيعة دور الجغرافيين العرب والمسلمين ومجــهوداتهم في تطور الفــكر الجغرافي وأهم إضــافاتهم الجــغرافية الــتي بلغت ذروتـــها في الــعصر العباسي ؟
أما أهداف هذا البحث فيمكن حصرها في نقطتين اثنتين وهما :-
- إبراز فضل الأمة العربية الإسلامية على الحضارة العالمية وجذب انتباه الدارسين وزيادة تشوقهم لدراسة الفكر الجغرافي العربي الإسلامي .
- إظهار مدى تطور الفكر الجغرافي العربي الإسلامي في العصور الوسطى التي ازدهرت فيها العلوم الجغرافية عند العرب ; وخاصة بعد القرن الرابع الهجري وما أضافوه من حقائق علمية كان لها دور رائد في تطور الجغرافيا الحديثة .

American Gothic: How Chicago Economics Distorts “Consumer Welfare” in Antitrust
Authors: Glick Mark
Published: October 2019

Since the publication of Robert Bork’s The Antitrust Paradox, lawyers, judges, and many economists have defended “Consumer welfare” (CW) as a standard for decisions about antitrust goals and enforcement priorities. This paper argues that the CW is actually an empty concept and is an inappropriate goal for antitrust. Welfare economists concede that there is no credible measurable link between price and output and human well-being. This means that the concept of CW does not legitimate limited antitrust enforcement, nor does it justify the exclusion of other antitrust goals that require more active enforcement practices. This paper contends that antitrust policy is not welfare based at all, and that if it were, antitrust policy and enforcement would differ significantly from the Chicago School vision. Without the fiction that economists can establish that in the short run lower price and higher output measurably increases welfare more than other goals, recent defenses of the CW standard resolve down to arguments based on unsupported assumptions.
Self-assembled coordination thioether silver(I) macrocyclic complexes for homogeneous catalysis
Authors: Cao Zhen , Lacoudre Aline , Rossy Cybille , Bibal Brigitte
Published: October 2019

The bis-ortho-thioether 9,10-bis[(o-methylthio)phenyl]anthracene was synthesized as a syn-atropisomer, as revealed by X-ray diffraction. This alkylaryl thioether ligand (L) formed different macrocyclic complexes by coordination with silver(I) salts depending on the nature of the anion: M2L2 for AgOTf and AgOTFA, M6L4 for AgNO3. A discrete M2L complex was obtained in the presence of bulky PPh3AgOTf. These silver(I) complexes adopted similar structures in solution and in the solid state. As each sulfur atom in the ligand is prochiral, macrocycles L2M2 were obtained as mixtures of diastereoisomers, depending on the configurations of the sulfur atoms coordinated to silver cations. The X-ray structures of the two L2·(AgOTf)2 stereoisomers highlighted their different geometry. The catalytic activity of all silver(I) complexes was effective under homogeneous conditions in two tandem addition/cycloisomerization of alkynes using 0.5–1 mol % of catalytic loading.
Global Parameters of 12 Totally Eclipsing W UMa Stars
Authors: Kjurkchieva Diana P. , Popov Velimir A. , Petrov Nikola I.
Published: October 2019

Photometric observations of 12 totally eclipsing W UMa binaries (NSVS 3325547, V646 Lac, V1320 Cas, V539 Dra, V816 Cep, NSVS 9045055, V1115 Cas, V902 Cep, V596 Peg, NSVS 1768818, V619 Peg, and NSVS 3198272) are presented. We found that the longer (in phase units) the flat eclipses are, the smaller the mass ratios (or the reciprocal values) are. The mass ratios of five targets turned out close to the lower-mass ratio limit. We found that the periods of V1115 Cas and V646 Lac increase, while that of V596 Peg decreases. Masses, radii, and luminosities of the target components were calculated by the light-curve solutions and Gaia distances. In order to perform more reliable statistical analysis of the results we added to the sample of 12 targets from this paper another 29 totally eclipsing W UMa stars studied by us earlier. As a result we found the following trends: (a) the radius and luminosity of the target components increase with their mass but the dependencies are different from those of main-sequence (MS) stars; (b) the temperatures of stellar components whose masses are above 1 M
⊙ tend to be lower than those of the corresponding MS stars, while the temperatures of stellar components whose masses are below 1 M
⊙ tend to be higher than those of the corresponding MS stars; (c) there is no relationship between the fillout factor and mass ratio; and (d) 11 of the 41 targets are of A subtype, 24 are of W subtype, and 6 systems are with equal-temperature components.

The Kepler mission has provided a treasure trove of eclipsing binaries (EBs), observed at extremely high photometric precision, nearly continuously for several years. We are carrying out a survey of ∼100 of these EBs to derive dynamical masses and radii with precisions of 3% or better. We use multiplexed near-infrared H-band spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III and -IV APOGEE instrument and optical spectroscopy from the Hobby–Eberly Telescope High-resolution Spectrograph to derive double-lined spectroscopic orbits and dynamical mass ratios (q) for the EB sample, two of which we showcase in this paper. This orbital information is combined with Kepler photometry to derive orbital inclination, dynamical masses of the system components, radii, and temperatures. These measurements are directly applicable for benchmarking stellar models that are integrating the next generation of improvements, such as the magnetic suppression of convection efficiency, updated opacity tables, and fine-tuned equations of state. We selected our EB sample to include systems with low-mass (

) primary or secondary components, as well as many EBs expected to populate the relatively sparse parameter space below ∼0.5 M
⊙. In this paper, we describe our EB sample and the analytical techniques we are utilizing, and also present masses and radii for two systems that inhabit particularly underpopulated regions of mass–radius–period space: KIC 2445134 and KIC 3003991.

The observed properties (i.e., source size, source position, time duration, and decay time) of solar radio emission produced through plasma processes near the local plasma frequency, and hence the interpretation of solar radio bursts, are strongly influenced by propagation effects in the inhomogeneous turbulent solar corona. In this work, a 3D stochastic description of the propagation process is presented, based on the Fokker–Planck and Langevin equations of radio-wave transport in a medium containing anisotropic electron density fluctuations. Using a numerical treatment based on this model, we investigate the characteristic source sizes and burst decay times for Type III solar radio bursts. Comparison of the simulations with the observations of solar radio bursts shows that predominantly perpendicular density fluctuations in the solar corona are required, with an anisotropy factor of ∼0.3 for sources observed at around 30 MHz. The simulations also demonstrate that the photons are isotropized near the region of primary emission, but the waves are then focused by large-scale refraction, leading to plasma radio emission directivity that is characterized by a half width at half maximum of about 40° near 30 MHz. The results are applicable to various solar radio bursts produced via plasma emission.

Published: October 2019

O presente artigo discute o trabalho da mulher polonesa imigrante nas dinâmicas da família tradicional da comunidade da Colônia Dom Pedro II – em Campo Largo. Seu papel como preservadora de conhecimentos e saberes ancestrais foi reproduzido e se propagou ainda que vivendo em terra estrangeira. Utiliza-se a perspectiva socio-histórica para estudar a imigração polonesa, ocorrida no final do século XIX e durante o século XX, para compreender os papéis da mulher polonesa e suas contribuições na formação da família, na alimentação, na difusão de técnicas de trabalho, e na manutenção de costumes ancestrais que constituem aspectos da cultura de sua nação de origem. Enfatiza-se a importância das diferentes funções da mulher na comunidade, que são pouco valorizadas pela sociedade industrial, mas que foram fundamentais para a prosperidade da Colônia.
On the stability of the dorsal pattern of European cave salamanders (genus Hydromantes)

Published: October 2019

Photographic identification is an emerging method for recognising wild animals. This harmless methodology allows researchers to identify “naturally marked” individuals and therefore study their specific ecology and behaviour. However, before incurring potential data loss, it is recommended to test the methodology on the target species and evaluate the pros and cons. We assessed the reliability of photographic identification in adult Hydromantes salamanders from three species. Specifically, we assessed whether the dorsal pattern of adult salamanders changed over time, thus evaluating its potential use as a reliable marking methodology. We used capture-mark-recapture and controlled conditions (i.e. individuals kept in fauna boxes) to evaluate potential changes in the dorsal pattern of Hydromantes through time. We did not observe any change in the dorsal pattern in the three species during the study period. Photographic identification might be a useful marking technique for these endangered species. However, these animals are usually found in environments generally lacking light and thus, researchers must be careful in setting up proper light conditions to produce suitable pictures for individual identification of Hydromantes.

Four species of Anastatus Motschulsky (Hymenoptera, Eupelmidae, Eupelminae) are newly reported as egg parasitoids of the Japanese giant silkworm, Caligula japonica Moore and, as an alternate laboratory host, the Chinese oak silk moth, Antheraea pernyi (Guérin-Méneville) (Lepidoptera, Saturniidae) in China. The four species, A. fulloi Sheng & Wang, 1997, A. gansuensis Chen & Zang, sp. nov., A. japonicus Ashmead, 1904, and A. meilingensis Sheng, 1998, were reared initially from eggs of C. japonica collected in Gansu, Jilin and Liaoning provinces and subsequently cultured in the laboratory on eggs of A. pernyi. An illustrated key to differentiate females of the four species, and males of some of the species is provided. Key features are illustrated, both sexes of the new species are described, and diagnoses of females of the other species are given.

Judicialização da saúde: construindo soluções na perspectiva da promoção da saúde
Authors: Paula Carlos Eduardo Artiaga , Bittar Cléria Maria Lôbo
Published: October 2019

A judicialização da saúde acarreta consequências indesejáveis ao Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e, portanto, são necessárias soluções para superar ou amenizar esses efeitos. Buscou-se, nesse estudo, verificar as possíveis alternativas para lidar com esse fenômeno a partir de entrevistas abertas com operadores do direito (advogados, juízes, promotores) e gestores públicos, que se encontram envolvidos nesse fenômeno. As principais propostas consistiram em diminuir o leque de bens e serviços ofertados pelo SUS; abolir ou reduzir a intervenção judicial, realizar convênios, além de providências a serem implementadas no trâmite da ação judicial. Observou-se que quaisquer que sejam as medidas, estas devem contemplar todos os envolvidos e perpasssar pela informação, diálogo e por parcerias intersetoriais que são preceitos da promoção da saúde. Logo, as ações para o enfrentamento dos desafios que envolvem a judicialização precisam estar inseridas e regulamentadas por uma política judicial de promoção da saúde, compreendida como um esforço coordenado entre a gestão pública de saúde e o Judiciário, organizando ações, a nível nacional, que estabeleçam caminhos para se aprimorar a gestão pública em saúde no sentido de diminuir ou evitar o impacto negativo das ações judiciais ao mesmo tempo em que se busca melhorar a forma como são conduzidos os processos judiciários e a administração pública.

Olanzapine: The Game-Changer “Antiemetic”
Authors: Dhanushkodi Manikandan
Published: October 2019

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is significantly debilitating and worsens the quality of life. Olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic drug, also has an antiemetic potential. Studies have shown that olanzapine-based regimens have similar efficacy as compared to aprepitant in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC). National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines also recommends olanzapine-based regimen in HEC. Olanzapine, palonosetron, dexamethasone regimen is a cost-effective option in resource-limited settings in patients receiving HEC.

Published: October 2019

This editorial commentary is an expert summary of “Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT),” encompassing the essential fundamentals and salient clinical practice points, deliberated and designed in a point-wise manner with theme-based subheadings. Emphasis has been laid on the topics of practical relevance to the referring oncologists with relevant finer points where necessary. A part of the presented overview has been generated from the authors' own practical experience of more than 3500 successful therapies delivered over the last 9 years at a large tertiary care PRRT setting by the joint efforts of Radiation Medicine Centre (RMC), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), and Gastrointestinal services of Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH) at the TMH-RMC premises. While the technical indigenization is beyond the scope of this treatise, we must mention here that India had been one of the frontrunners in this treatment modality, and the PRRT services in this country were developed purely as an indigenous effort right from the production of the radionuclide (177-Lutetium) at the reactor and radiolabeling and production of the radiopharmaceutical (177Lu-DOTATATE) by the radiopharmaceutical scientists at the BARC and RMC; such an endeavor allowed this very specialized therapy to be delivered at a very affordable cost in our setting which could be viewed as a major societal contribution of the atomic energy research in this country.

Authors: Yambem Leima Chanu Shakti , Rahman Hafizur
Published: October 2019

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to assess women's awareness on breast cancer; and their awareness, attitudes, and barriers to practice of breast self-examination (BSE). Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015, involving 302 women between 18 and 65 years of age attending the Outpatient Department of Central Referral Hospital, Gangtok. Face-to-face semi-structured questionnaire-based interview was conducted among the participant women, after taking their written consent. Results: Three-fourths of the participants were aware of breast cancer. Eighty percent of the women who had heard about breast cancer were not aware of its risk factors. Forty-six percent of the participants were aware of BSE. Most common source of knowledge was from health professionals. Of the 138 women who were aware of BSE, 41.3% ever practiced BSE. Majority had started BSE between 21 and 45 years of age. Thirty-seven percent of the participants practiced BSE once in a year. Working women and students were found to be twice more likely to practice BSE compared to homemakers. Similarly, women belonging to lower socioeconomic status were 70% less likely to practice BSE than women of affluent class. Conclusions: Knowledge of the breast cancer and BSE practices is poor among indexed Sikkimese reproductive women attending tertiary hospital of Sikkim. There is an urgent need for information on the airwaves and in print, and for education at health centers on warning symptoms of breast cancer and various methods of screening for breast cancer including BSE.

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is a foremost reason of global cancer death in women, and a good portion remains with the developing countries. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding Pap smear, CC, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) among the women attending a Mother and Child Health Clinic in Kuantan, Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 respondents involved in this cross-sectional study. The convenience sampling was to select the respondents. The data were collected from in 2013. Results: The mean age 32.19 years. Up to 54.2% of respondents never had Pap smear in the past 5 years, while over 67.5% of respondents never had HPV vaccination. There was a significant correlation between knowledge with attitude (P < 0.001) and attitude with practice (P < 0.001) regarding Pap smear, CC, and HPV. However, knowledge and practice regarding Pap smear, CC, and HPV was not significantly correlated (P = 0.525). There was no significant correlation between mean age and knowledge (P = 0.455) while there was a significant correlation between mean age with attitude (P = 0.011) and practice (P < 0.001) regarding Pap smear, CC, and HPV. It was also shown that there were differences between races in term of knowledge and attitude (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in term of practice regarding Pap smear, CC, and HPV (P > 0.05) between races. Conclusions: Important barriers to Pap smear screening among women are highlighted through this study. The health institution involved needs to come up with better strategies to deal with these barriers to improve the awareness of women regarding Pap smear, CC, and HPV.

Published: October 2019

Context: Skeleton is the most common organ affected by metastases. Bone pain is the most common symptom of metastatic bone disease. The treatment of bone metastasis is primarily palliative requiring multidisciplinary therapies; radiotherapy (RT), however, remains the cornerstone of the treatment. Aims: The aim of this study is to measure the effectiveness of RT in terms of symptomatic relief in pain and insomnia, improvement in stability/movement, and decrease in the requirement of analgesics by patients using the Hundred Paisa Pain Scale. Subjects and Methods: The RT records of 226 patients with bone metastasis treated at the department of Radiotherapy, SMS Medical College, Jaipur; from July 2015 to December 2016 over cobalt-60 teletherapy unit were analyzed. The RT dose fractionation ranged from 30 Gy in 10 daily fractions, 20 Gy in 5 daily fractions, 12.5 Gy in 2 weekly fractions, and 8 Gy in single fraction. Results: The median age of the cohort was 54 (range, 29–84) years. The most common site of primary tumor was lung (30.1%), followed by breast (12.4%) and prostate (11.9%). The most common bone involved was vertebrae (71.2%), followed by pelvis (14.6%); among vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae were most commonly involved (63.9%), followed by lumbar vertebrae (57.8%). The maximum relief in pain was seen with 6.25 Gy/fraction schedule, whereas the maximum improvement in stability/movement was noted with 3 Gy/fraction schedule. The 8 Gy single-fraction schedule was associated with maximum relief in insomnia and decrease in analgesic requirement. Conclusion: The current institutional protocol of weekly hypofractionated palliative RT of 6.25 Gy per fraction up to a maximum of four fractions given on Saturday has shown results comparable with other schedules with well tolerance and achievement of acceptable symptom palliation. This weekly schedule is practically convenient to both the patients who mostly came from far-flung areas and the institute as it spares the already overburdened machine to carry on conventional RT from Monday to Friday.

Background: Docetaxel-induced pneumonitis is a rare, but potentially serious complication of a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent. Methods: We performed an audit of patients with suspected docetaxel pneumonitis from the tertiary cancer center. Results: Out of 477 patients who received docetaxel over a 1 year period, eight patients (1.7%) developed lung injury. All patients (median age: 43 years [34–65]) had breast cancer (four metastatic on palliative docetaxel, two were on neoadjuvant, and two were on adjuvant therapy) and had received a median of three cycles of docetaxel 75 mg/m2 in a 3 weekly schedule (7 as single agent and 1 in combination with cyclophosphamide). One patient had the preexisting pulmonary disease (localized bronchiectasis), and four had received prior radiation to the chest wall or dorsal spine. The median time from administration of the last dose was 16 days (8–28). Most (n = 6/8, 75%) required hospitalization. Three patients with CTCAE Grade 3 pneumonitis required oxygen support. Radiology showed a pattern of interstitial pneumonitis in most patients. All the patients responded to steroids and follow-up imaging showed resolution of infiltrates. The median duration of hospital stay was 8.5 days (7–18 days). There was no mortality due to this condition. Conclusions: Drug-induced lung injury should be considered in patients presenting with respiratory symptoms after administration of docetaxel. Timely initiation of steroids could reduce complications.
