Authors: Pala Jeevanapriya , Babu Goru Krishna , Babji K.
Published: June 2021

Background:

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a serious public health problem worldwide. Appropriate knowledge, attitude, and practices like wearing a mask always and in a proper manner, following social distancing and handwashing frequently are some measures required to protect oneself from COVID-19. Government of India and State Governments have created the lot of awareness.

Objectives:

To assess and determine the factors responsible for knowledge, attitude, and practices of people staying in night shelters toward COVID-19 in Kakinada.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 131 members staying in night shelters. The present study was carried out using the semi-structured questionnaire. Study participants were contacted and interviewed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices.

Results:

Majority were males (89.3%); 40.4% were married; 63.4% were from rural areas; 70.9% were migrant laborer; 55.7% were Hindu; 41.2% belonged to backward class; 37.4% were educated up to primary class; and 67.2% had income <400 INR per day. Mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 7.4 ± 2.78, 6.36 ± 2.59, and 4.36 ± 1.43, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age group >50 years (vs. <50 years), location urban (vs. rural), marital status married (vs. separate, others), education primary (vs. illiterate, secondary, inter) were significantly associated with high knowledge score (P < 0.05). Age group <50 years, gender female (vs. males), and education illiterate (vs. primary and secondary) were significantly associated with positive attitude toward COVID-19 (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between practice and the sociodemographic variable.

Conclusion:

The overall knowledge, attitude among night shelters in Kakinada was just above average but with poor practices.
Assessing Boundaries of AI Planning Models of Human-Robot Collaborative Riveting Processes in Industry-Like Conditions
Authors: Mueller Rainer , Rekik Khansa , Kanso Ali
Published: June 2021

Riveting is an essential process for the pre-assembly as well as the final assembly of aircrafts. In many cases, the riveting process fails to be fully automated, for instance, in parts with complex geometries. Thus, manual riveting is still widely common. Several works have been carried towards semi-automatic riveting solutions, namely in riveting the section barrel of the aft section to its pressure bulkhead. In [1], a method of communication-free semi-automated riveting is proposed where a partially autonomous robot performs counter-holding while a human worker rivets. The method has been modeled and tested extensively in simulation. However, although a demonstration prototype has been developed, models have been tested on it curtly. This paper investigates experimental evaluation of different model variations on demonstration. The aim is to identify the boundaries of the method in real world conditions. Experimental setups are tailored similarly to the ones used in simulation for comparability purposes. Multiple riveting tests are carried out to assess the applicability of the solution in an industry-like environment. These tests allow online tracking of the worker-robot dynamic. Additionally, they quantify the impact this solution on both task ergonomics and efficiency in a semi-automated process with respect to a manual one.
Unsettled Topics on the Benefit of Additive Manufacturing for Production at the Point of Use in the Mobility Industry
Authors:   The Barnes Global Advisors, Slattery Kevin
Published: June 2021

An oft-cited benefit of additive manufacturing (AM), or “3D-printing,” technology is the ability to produce parts at the point of use by downloading a digital file and making the part at a local printer. This has the potential to greatly compress supply chains, lead times, inventories, and design iterations for custom parts. As a result of this, both manufacturing and logistics companies are investigating and investing in AM capacity for production at the point of use. However, it can be imagined that the feasibility and benefits are a function of size, materials, build time, manufacturing complexity, cost, and competing technologies. Because of this, there are instances where the viability of point-of-use manufacturing ranges from the perfect solution to the worst possible choice. Unsettled Topics on the Benefits of Additive Manufacturing for Production at the Point of Use in the Mobility Industry discusses the benefits, challenges, trade-offs, and other determining factors regarding this new level of AM possibilities.

Authors:   Raztech Research Institute, Razdan Rahul
Published: June 2021

As automobiles morph from stand-alone mechanical objects to highly connected, autonomous systems with increasing amounts of electronic components. To manage these complex systems, some semblance of in-car decision-making is also being built and networked to a cloud architecture. This cloud can also enable even deeper capabilities within the broader automotive ecosystem. Unsettled Issues Regarding Autonomous Vehicles and Open-source Software introduces the impact of software in advanced automotive applications, the role of open-source communities in accelerating innovation, and the important topic of safety and cybersecurity. As electronic functionality is captured in software and a bigger percentage of that software is open-source code, some critical challenges arise concerning security and validation.

Authors:   Jiangsu Alternative Energy Vehicle Rsch, Jiang Yuxiang
Published: June 2021

Electric vehicle (EV) transmission technology—crucial for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)—is developing quickly and customers want good performance at a low cost. Single-speed gearboxes are popular in electric drive systems due to their simple and cost-effective configuration. However, multispeed gearboxes are being taken to market due to their higher low-speed torque, dynamic performance, and energy efficiency. Unsettled Technology Areas in Electric Propulsion Systems reviews the economic drivers, existing techniques, and current challenges of EV transmission technology—including torque interruption during shifting; thermal and sealing issues; and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). This report discusses the pros and cons for both single-speed and multispeed gearboxes with numerical analysis.

Published: June 2021

Ameloblastoma is the most common benign odontogenic tumor of the jaw, and expansional growth of a huge untreated ameloblastoma can result in disturbances in facial aesthetics and function, such as difficulty with mouth opening, swallowing, chewing, breathing, neurologic deficits, and pathologic fractures. Radical wide resection with safety margins and subsequent reconstruction is generally recommended. A fibular free flap (FFF) is commonlyused to reconstruct the mandible in order to adequately restore both aesthetic appearance and function. The aim of this brief clinical report is to present a case of huge ameloblastoma after wide resection with free safety margins, and describe the immediate one-step mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized composite FFF. The sterolithographic(rapid prototype, RP) model, a wax pattern of the resected mandible, and a surgical fibular stent made from the wax pattern were constructed preoperatively. We suggest a standardized surgical protocol for mandibular reconstruction with FFF.Funding: Supported by the International Research & Development Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning (NRF-2015K1A3A9A01028230)Keywords: Mandibular reconstruction, fibular osteocutaneous free flap, huge ameloblastoma, stereolithographicmodel, standardized formula

Authors: Hambali Hambali
Published: June 2021

The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus which has become a global pandemic has led to a new policy to avoid spreading and transmitting the virus. One of them is the worship policy for Muslims which is responded by MUI and Hai'ah Kibar Ulama Al-Azhar. This study aims to determine the role of Maqashid Shari'ah to find out the purpose of the existence of a law, one of which issued by scholars in dealing with the current emergency conditions. In the context of the covid-19 virus outbreak, eliminating Friday prayers and congregational prayers is a dharuriyat case (primary), because the implementation of the worship raises a crowd that has the potential to cause transmission of the virus, the dharuriyat case is the benefit that must be maintained, as the essence of the Maqashid Sharia.

WHO determined COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 9, 2020, which is the strongest push for this community service program to be carried out. WHO has published guidance on adjusting the MFIs while managing the risk of a spike in case numbers. WHO publishes guidance on adapting to LKMS, while still managing the risk of a re-increase in the number of cases. A series of measures was developed to help provide guidance to countries in adapting public health measures to various contexts and this provides consideration for decision makers. In connection with the policy of controlling infectious disease outbreaks, Indonesia has Law Number 4 of 1984 concerning Communicable Disease Outbreaks, Government Regulation Number 40 of 1991 concerning Management of Contagious Disease Outbreaks, and Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 1501 / Menkes / Per / X / 2010 concerning Certain Types of Infectious Diseases That Can Cause Outbreaks and Countermeasures. Including various policies to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic issued by the government. One of them is the Large-Scale Social Restrictions or PSBB at the end of March. Citing Article 1 paragraph 11 of Law (UU) Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine, PSBB is a limitation of certain activities of residents in an area suspected of being infected with a disease and / or contamination in such a way as to prevent the possibility of spreading disease or contamination. The policy covers at least school and work vacations, restrictions on religious activities and restrictions on activities in public places or facilities, including the socialization of washing hands using hand sanitizer which can be done in certain situations where soap and clean water are not available. For the results to be effective, the hand sanitizer used should contain at least 60% alcohol. This step is a necessity in order to prevent Covid-19 from becoming more widespread. The goal to be achieved from the socialization of good and correct hand washing is to understand the procedures, and be able to practice how to wash hands properly and correctly. It is hoped that in this socialization there will be a change in behavior in the community in washing hands as often as possible properly and correctly.

The primary purpose of developing an herbal hand wash with a gel basis is to promote "personal hygiene." Hand hygiene is a requirement and one of the most critical processes in the preparation of meals, food service, and house and other day care facilities. On the market, antibacterial hand wash is composed of alcohol-based cleaning products, which have a number of disadvantages. An effort was made to develop a gel-based herbal hand wash utilising Argemone Mexicana extracts to avoid the adverse effects of synthetic hand wash preparations such as itching, dryness, irritation, and dermatitis. The antibacterial activity of the prepared gel hand wash toward E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa was determined using the Agar plate diffusion technique. Physical and chemical characteristics such as pH, Viscosity, Foam height, Foam retention, Anti-Microbial Activity, Skin irritation assessment, and other parameters were used to evaluate herbal hand wash, and the results were found to be within normal ranges with minimum to no adverse effects.

TERMINOLOGY OF THE OF TRADITIONAL MOROCCAN AMAZIGH POETRY : LEXICAL RICHNESS OR TERMINOLOGICAL DISORDER ?
Authors: AMAHDOUK Mohamed
Published: June 2021

The Amazigh poetic achievement represents an open horizon on the fabric of history and the collective life of Moroccans, and through its various manifestations it is a celebration of nature and the organic connection with its major norms and rituals. The multiplicity that characterizes its terminology embodies the mosaic of the Berber environment with its fertility and sweetness ... Therefore, it delves into the pleasure of expression, glorifies the causes of life and embraces its objects and symbols. However, the most important thing that attracts the attention of the linguistic researcher, which intends to carry out scientific research in the terminology of Amazigh poetry, is the scarcity of studies and research that have dealt with this level. Most of them stopped studying this aspect, and did not address it extensively or adequately, explaining its paradoxes, and defining its major articulations, despite the great importance and the fundamental place it occupies in modern Amazigh linguistic and literary studies ... Many linguistic and geographic reasons were not examined. One of the terms that may appear, at first glance, be indicative of the same meaning. The fact is that there are wide dialectal, semantic and technical differences between them. The matter here relates to concepts such as : “Tamdyazt”, “Izli”, “Tayffart” and “Tamawayt” ... as the search is often limited to the first concept without specifying the adjacent terms, nor highlighting the differences and combining them. The researcher in the Amazigh tongue in general, and in the poetic term in particular, faces a terminological chaos and a great conceptual confusion. This increases the difficulty of researching the topic and limits the scientific results reached. Then this paper comes to shed light on some of the components of its terminological structure, and to address some semantic and pragmatic issues related to it dialectally, geographically, and ethnologically.
Mentoring Mentality: Understanding the Mentorship Experiences of National FFA Officers
Authors: Shellhouse Jarred A. , Suarez Ceclia E. , Benge Matt , Bunch J.C.
Published: June 2021

National FFA officers are propelled into a very public position when elected to serve the organization. With an expectation to serve as leaders, officers spend the year interacting with FFA members, sponsors, legislatures, parents, teachers, and others. In order to perform in the highest capacity, they often turn to mentors to guide them through personal and professional development. Little is currently known about what makes mentorship effective for students who undergo an extensive, culminating leadership development experience. This qualitative study examined the mentoring experiences of 12 past national FFA officers over the course of four life stages, beginning the year prior to election as national officer and concluding at least two years following their year of service. Using a phenomenological approach through a lens of mentor relationship theory and leader-member exchange, a journey map was created to better understand how these individuals describe mentorship and the quality of mentorship experienced over the course of the four life stages. Findings indicated effective mentorship must have high affect and professional respect, with contribution and loyalty being less important to the relationship. Implications exist for protégés, mentors, and leadership practitioners who facilitate mentorship programs or have direct mentor-protégé relationships with college-aged students.
A Women’s History of the Beatles
Authors: Feldman-Barrett Christine
Published: June 2021

A Women’s History of the Beatles is the first book to offer a detailed presentation of the band’s social and cultural impact as understood through the experiences and lives of women. Drawing on a mix of interviews, archival research, textual analysis, and autoethnography, this scholarly work depicts how the Beatles have profoundly shaped and enriched the lives of women, while also reexamining key, influential female figures within the group’s history.

Organized topically based on key themes important to the Beatles story, each chapter uncovers the varied and multifaceted relationships women have had with the band, whether face-to-face and intimately or parasocially through mediated, popular culture. Set within a socio-historical context that charts changing gender norms since the early 1960s, these narratives consider how the Beatles have affected women’s lives across three generations. Providing a fresh perspective of a well-known tale, this is a cultural history that moves far beyond the screams of Beatlemania to offer a more comprehensive understanding of what the now iconic band has meant to women over the course of six decades.
Poëzie op steen in Athene
Authors: de Bakker Mathieu , Koopman Niels , van Uum Paul , Willigers Saskia
Published: June 2021

This contribution discusses a selection of remarkable verse inscriptions from the city of Athens. Such inscriptions should not be evaluated as subliterary pieces of poetry exclusively relevant within their local, spatial context. Instead, we argue that it makes sense to compare them with other poetry known from antiquity. We point at formal and thematic relationships between poems known from stones and via manuscripts, and also analyse a few Athenian verse inscriptions from Roman times that clearly reflect literary developments known from Hellenistic and Second Sophistic periods.
Ere-inscripties
Authors: Heller Anna
Published: June 2021

This paper offers a presentation of the genre of honorific inscriptions, engraved on statue bases. This type of inscriptions has received a lot of recent scholarly attention and is particularly valuable to illuminate the workings of civic societies of the Hellenistic and Imperial periods. The paper first reflects on the chronology of the genre, which expands as the habit of engraving honorific decrees simultaneously declines. Then it studies the actors involved in the honorific transaction and establishes the differences (but also the points of contact) between public and private honorific inscriptions, while shedding light on the actions and qualities that may be worthy of the honour of a statue. Finally, it returns to the identity of the honorandi, whose status and social prof ile can vary greatly. The engraved texts thus may publicize relationships on the scale of a city, a region, a kingdom or an empire.

The lost peat-dredgers village of Beulake

Between 1600 and 1800, Beulake was a peat-dredging village of reasonable size. Peat dredging was profitable but caused permanent land loss and flooding. During the f irst half of the 18th century, peat-dredging seems to have brought some prosperity, but then a decline set in. The village eventually disappeared due to two severe storms in 1775 and 1776. This article examines the spatial structure of the former village and the socioeconomic conditions of its residents.
Deep Learning Classification Methods Applied to Tabular Cybersecurity Benchmarks
Authors: Noever David A. , Miller Noever Samantha E.
Published: June 2021

This research recasts the network attack dataset from UNSW-NB15 as an intrusion detection problem in image space. Using one-hot-encodings, the resulting grayscale thumbnails provide a quarter-million examples for deep learning algorithms. Applying the MobileNetV2’s convolutional neural network architecture, the work demonstrates a 97% accuracy in distinguishing normal and attack traffic. Further class refinements to 9 individual attack families (exploits, worms, shellcodes) show an overall 54% accuracy. Using feature importance rank, a random forest solution on subsets shows the most important source-destination factors and the least important ones as mainly obscure protocols. It further extends the image classification problem to other cybersecurity benchmarks such as malware signatures extracted from binary headers, with an 80% overall accuracy to detect computer viruses as portable executable files (headers only). Both novel image datasets are available to the research community on Kaggle.
GasMASk Annotation-based Code Generator as an Embedded Domain-Specific Language in Collaborative Multi-Agent Systems
Authors: Oruc Orcun , Aßmann Uwe
Published: June 2021

Multi-agent systems have evolved with their application framework, analysis approaches and design complexities over the past few decades. In order for programming software agents, you need to handle analysis, design and implementation together; furthermore, privacy and trust should be integrated externally into the agent-oriented applications. Current frameworks do not consider privacy, trust, and data integrity in agent applications. In this study, we propose a domain-specific language that can be used for agent behaviors that consist of roles, organizational entity, goals through annotation processing with templates. Smart contracts can be generated to decrease the time for deployment and development stages. Templates and annotations are popular techniques to reduce boilerplate codebases from agent-oriented programming. These techniques can also be used for model-driven software engineering. This study will take the software agent development as a whole with analysis, design, and development with embedded domain-specific language development in terms of smart contract applications. Furthermore, we would like to refer to methodology, results of the research, and case study to enlighten readers in a better way. Finally, we summarize findings and highlight the main research points by inferencing in the conclusion section.

Multiple tax amnesties and compliance in South Africa
Authors:   , Junpath Sachin Vir
Published: June 2021

South Africa has seen tremendous changes since 1994, from the introduction of a new government to structural changes in tax administration; one of the challenges the government faced in the new democracy, was the restructuring of the tax system. Multiple tax amnesty programs were thus introduced between 1995 and 2010 to provide immunity for limited periods to citizens and small businesses for past non-compliance without being subjected to additional tax, interest, penalties or prosecution. Although extensive research conducted abroad has illustrated the potential problems and complexities that could arise from multiple amnesties, very little research has been conducted in South Africa to evaluate the viability of offering repeated amnesties. The emphasis in this study was therefore on the Small Business Tax Amnesty of 2006, and its primary purpose was to explore the effects that multiple tax amnesties have on compliance and whether it is possible for tax compliance to improve if further tax amnesties are introduced. This study used a quantitative research approach to gather data from 146 respondents from an Audit firm database containing information about taxpayers qualifying as small business who applied for amnesty and taxpayers that did not apply for amnesty between 1 August and 30 June 2007. Analysis of the data revealed that tax amnesties in South Africa should not be offered on a frequent basis to non-compliant taxpayers as it causes non-compliant taxpayers to anticipate further amnesties which could impact negatively on tax compliance as a whole. The findings also indicated that educating taxpayers about tax issues could result in better tax compliance thus contributing to the development of a fair and equitable society. Based on the findings, this study makes recommendations to government, the tax authority and policy makers regarding the effects of multiple tax amnesties.
The impact of the digital divide on information literacy training of Extended Curriculum Programme students at the Durban University of Technology
Authors:   , Naidoo Segarani
Published: June 2021

This study investigated the impact of the digital divide on information literacy (IL) training of Extended Curriculum Programme (ECP) students at the Durban University of Technology (DUT). There are students entering the tertiary education environment in South Africa who have never used the Internet or have little or no knowledge of technology. Hence South African higher education institutions have a heterogeneous mix of both digitally advantaged students and digitally disadvantaged students. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the digital divide on IL training of ECP students at the DUT and to recommend guidelines for teaching and learning of IL that would accommodate both digitally advantaged and digitally disadvantaged students. The sub-objectives of the study were: to identify in what ways the digital divide impacts on the IL training of ECP students; to identify innovative teaching and learning methods to accommodate the diversity of students in the IL classroom; and to recommend guidelines for teaching and learning of IL in the ECP that accommodates the digital divide among participating students. Hence, the three population sets for the study were: DUT ECP students of 2010, Subject Librarians teaching IL to ECP students and the DUT ECP Coordinator. The study employed a mixed method approach in its research design. Data was collected from ECP students by means of a questionnaire, an interview schedule was used to collect data from Subject Librarians involved in teaching of the IL module to ECP students and lastly, a separate interview schedule was used to collect data from the ECP Coordinator. Qualitative data that was collected from the survey questionnaire was analysed using SPSS (Version 18.0) whilst qualitative data collected from the interviews and from the questionnaires was analysed thematically using content analysis. The findings of this study reveal that the digital divide does impact on IL training in ways such as, slowing down the progress of IL lessons; basic computer skills need to be taught in the IL classroom and that disadvantaged students find it difficult to follow online lessons while advantaged students already have the expertise to access online information. Based on these findings the study recommends that computer literacy training precede IL training; that various creative teaching and learning methods, such as, group work, games, online tutorials and interactive websites be incorporated into IL training to accommodate both digitally advantaged and digitally disadvantaged students in the IL classroom.

Published: June 2021

security and peace are two concepts closely related to the rights of women, especially in the past two decades. In October 2000, Resolution 1325 was issued by the United Nations Security Council regarding women and armed conflicts, based on the role that women can play in building peace and achieving security, whether on the basis of The national or international level, especially that the women most affected during wars and armed conflicts, and some jurisprudential opinions began to take their way into international legislation and the rules of international humanitarian law regarding the protection of non-combatants and civilians in general and women in particular, and the Geneva Convention in 1949 and its annex to the Second Geneva Convention in 1949went 1977 to the necessity of protecting women against any assault, physical violence, or humiliation of all kinds. Therefore, the importance of the topic lies in knowing the role of Resolution in protecting women's rights, not to mention the need to know how women play a role in preserving international peace

Published: June 2021

As a result of the global epidemiological reality, E-learning has become a necessity for advanced educational systems because universities are the backbone of scientific, economic, political and social development for all nations alike because they are a major source of minds, it is based on two main pillars, namely the teacher who is the foundation building block and the basic structure of the other pillar, which is the student who relies on his teacher in terms of his cognitive and scientific development in addition to psychological, educational and social guidance. As for the basic role that every student relies on, it is qualifying him to obtain the certificate, all of which is in the end in the interest of society, so a relationship is formed between the student and the teacher and the focus of which is the pedagogical interaction based on respect, care and exhortation to convey knowledge and abilities, whether by the student or the teacher. The current paper aims to formulate a vision for E-learning according to the perspective of training engineering planning (components, programs, financial capacity, implementation, follow-up, results and questionnaire) with pedagogical support based on the consistency of roles between the student and the teacher from the scientific and psychological point of view, and the psychological component is a fundamental factor in the success of Educational process.

Abstract: Language is the greatest blessing that God bestowed upon man and distinguishes him from other creatures, the individual's tool that helps him communicate with others, and an important means in the field of understanding and understanding that represents the relationship between the individual and society. She also learned that her message in the Persian language is a form of human behavior, negativity, negativity, weapon, negativity, behavior, thoughts, ideas, initiation of communication, initiation of communication, and initiation of communication with the facility. It is a relationship to build letters, vocabulary and sentences that form the thoughts and minds of individuals, so the relationship is a relationship and influence. And the Arabic language, which God honored with His Qur’an, is a tool for thinking and spreading culture and education, for it is the language of Arab creativity before Islam and the language of divine miracles after it, and the Arabic language is a means for the learner to express himself, his feelings and his culture, and the correct understanding of what others say or write, and it is the learner’s tool in study, achievement and success, as well as Every educational activity in and outside school depends on it. The educational process faces many challenges as a result of the information and technology revolution, and the communications revolution, which requires us to speed up the development of thinking minds capable of solving problems. The development of these thinking mindsets is the responsibility of all state institutions, on top of which are educational institutions, as the development of an individual's thinking takes place through curricula. Scholarships, if the necessary capabilities are available for teaching it. The process is closely related to learning theories that are concerned with the study of educational situations and the interpretation of human behavior and the mental processes behind it, so it directs the educational process and determines its effectiveness, and this requires us to follow the new in this field so that we can develop the teaching and learning processes and provide peaceful educational programs, and from modern theories. Which explained the diversity of students and called for designing educational programs about this diversity, the theory of learning that is assigned to the brain. Induction includes two topics, the first topic (the theory of learning based on the brain, while the second topic includes (some learning strategies assigned to the brain)).

Remisión espontánea libre de tratamiento en leucemia mieloide crónica, un nuevo concepto.
Authors: Martínez Humberto , Valdés Jaime
Published: June 2021

Introducción: la leucemia mieloide crónica (LMC) representa, con el advenimiento de los inhibidores de tirosina quinasa, un modelo de enfermedad en el cual las terapias dirigidas pueden controlar el cáncer a largo plazo. Existe una creciente literatura sobre la descontinuación segura del tratamiento en los pacientes que logren una respuesta molecular profunda. En general, se considera que los pacientes no deben interrumpir la terapia a menos que se encuentren en un ensayo clínico o sean parte de un programa estructurado de excelencia en el manejo de LMC, y que cumplan unos criterios estrictos para ser considerados candidatos. Métodos: exponemos el caso de un paciente con diagnóstico de LMC de 10 años de evolución, quien interrumpe la terapia de manera voluntaria, manteniendo la respuesta molecular mayor luego de 12 meses sin tratamiento. Resultados: hombre de 55 años de edad con diagnóstico de LMC Filadelfia positivo desde el año 2008 tratado con agentes citorreductores, y antecedente de hipertensión arterial. Inicia tratamiento con imatinib desde el año 2009 de forma muy irregular luego de desarrollar una fase acelerada. En el año 2010 tuvo interrupción del tratamiento relacionada con adherencia por cerca de dos meses. En febrero de 2011 continuó tratamiento de forma regular hasta junio de 2017, donde se documenta una PCR para BCR-ABL no detectada con un límite del 0,00055%. El paciente decide suspender el tratamiento de forma voluntaria, y tiene pérdida en el seguimiento hasta febrero de 2018, cuando nuevamente es valorado de forma ambulatoria con un hemograma y una química sanguínea normales, junto a una PCR para BCR-ABL mediante técnica estandarizada a -4,5 a 5,0 logaritmos, evidenciando un nivel de transcrito detectado en el 0,0096%, manteniendo la respuesta molecular mayor. El tiempo total de exposición a imatinib fue de ocho años. Conclusión: este caso es el primero en nuestro conocimiento reportado sobre la remisión libre de tratamiento espontánea. La RLT puede ser posible entre nuestros pacientes, pues en la actualidad no existen ensayos clínicos en nuestra población que tengan como objetivo demostrar la viabilidad de la descontinuación en la población latinoamericana.
Terapia neoadyuvante en cáncer de mama.
Authors: Ramos Guette Pedro Luis
Published: June 2021

La terapia neoadyuvante en cáncer de mama se refiere al tratamiento sistémico previo a cirugía (preoperatorio), que tradicionalmente está indicada en cáncer de mama localmente avanzado independiente del estado de receptores y HER2, para permitir cirugía cuando es irresecable y, cuando es resecable, realizar cirugía conservadora, además de evaluar la efectividad de la terapia sistémica por medio de la respuestas patológicas completas (PCR) y los marcadores de respuesta y resistencia en especímenes de sangre y tejidos.

Authors: González Héctor , Londoño Hugo , Mancera Yina
Published: June 2021

Introducción: los derrames pleurales son una complicación frecuente en el cáncer. Son generalmente causados por compromiso pleural tumoral. El diagnóstico es clínico y paraclínico. Las modalidades terapéuticas incluyen la pleurodesis química, que no es etiológica ni fisiológica. La quimioterapia en cánceres quimiosensibles es una buena alternativa. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la frecuencia de respuesta a la quimioterapia sistémica en derrames pleurales después del drenaje. Materiales y métodos: se trata de un estudio descriptivo tipo serie de casos. Se incluyeron pacientes con cánceres quimiosensibles, derrame pleural maligno, sin quimioterapia previa, IK >80, expectativa de vida >6 meses. Procedimiento: práctica de Rx tórax, inserción del tubo para drenaje evacuante, aplicación de quimioterapia sistémica, remoción del tubo al día siguiente de terminar la quimioterapia. No reproducción del derrame mínimo por seis meses. Se utilizó análisis de estadística descriptiva. Resultados: se estudiaron 69 pacientes: hombres (37,68%), mujeres (62,31%). Edad promedio: 59 años. Cánceres: carcinoma broncogénico (43,47%), carcinoma de mama (28,98%), carcinoma de ovario (14,49%), carcinoma de origen desconocido (7,24%), otros (5,79%). Estadios clínicos: IIIb (57,97%), IV (42,02%). Respuesta total: 85,5%. Se encontró respuestas en cánceres de origen conocido del 90,6% y en cánceres de origen desconocido del 20%. Recidiva del derrame pleural en un 14,5%. Conclusiones: la quimioterapia sistémica después de la evacuación del derrame es una buena alternativa para tratar derrames pleurales malignos quimiosensibles, porque es etiológica y tiene una alta tasa de respuesta.
