Spatial probabilistic calibration of a high-resolution Amundsen Sea Embayment ice sheet model with satellite altimeter data
Authors: Wernecke Andreas , Edwards Tamsin L. , Nias Isabel J. , Holden Philip B. , Edwards Neil R.
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Probabilistic predictions of the sea level contribution from Antarctica often have large uncertainty intervals.
Calibration of model simulations with observations can reduce uncertainties and improve confidence in projections, particularly if this exploits as much of the available information as possible (such as spatial characteristics), but the necessary statistical treatment is often challenging and can be computationally prohibitive. Ice sheet models with sufficient spatial resolution to resolve grounding line evolution are also computationally expensive. Here we address these challenges by adopting and comparing dimension-reduced calibration approaches based on a principal component decomposition of the adaptive mesh model BISICLES. The effects model parameters have on these principal components are then gathered in statistical emulators to allow for smooth probability density estimates. With the help of a published perturbed parameter ice sheet model ensemble of the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), we show how the use of principal components in combination with spatially resolved observations can improve probabilistic calibrations. In synthetic model experiments (calibrating the model with altered model results) we can identify the correct basal traction and ice viscosity scaling parameters as well as the bedrock map with spatial calibrations. In comparison a simpler calibration against an aggregated observation, the net sea level contribution, imposes only weaker constraints by allowing a wide range of basal traction and viscosity scaling factors. Uncertainties in sea level rise contribution of 50-year simulations from the current state of the ASE can be reduced with satellite observations of recent ice thickness change by nearly 90 %; median and 90 % confidence intervals are 18.9 [13.9, 24.8] mm SLE (sea level equivalent) for the proposed spatial calibration approach, 16.8 [7.7, 25.6] mm SLE for the net sea level calibration and 23.1 [−8.4, 94.5] mm SLE for the uncalibrated ensemble. The spatial model behaviour is much more consistent with observations if, instead of Bedmap2, a modified bedrock topography is used that most notably removes a topographic rise near the initial grounding line of Pine Island Glacier. The ASE dominates the current Antarctic sea level contribution, but other regions have the potential to become more important on centennial scales. These larger spatial and temporal scales would benefit even more from methods of fast but exhaustive model calibration. Applied to projections of the whole Antarctic ice sheet, our approach has therefore the potential to efficiently improve our understanding of model behaviour, as well as substantiating and reducing projection uncertainties.
An improved second order dynamic stall model for wind turbine airfoils
Authors: Bangga Galih , Lutz Thorsten , Arnold Matthias
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Robust and accurate dynamic stall modeling remains one of the most difficult tasks in wind turbine load calculations despite its long research effort in the past. In the present paper, a new second order dynamic stall model is developed with the main aim to model the higher harmonics of the vortex shedding while retaining its robustness for various flow conditions and airfoils. Comprehensive investigations and tests are performed by varying many flow parameters. The occurring physical characteristics for each case are discussed and evaluated in the present studies. The improved model is also tested on four different airfoils with different relative thicknesses. The validation against measurement data demonstrates that the improved model is able to reproduce the dynamic polar accurately without airfoil specific parameter calibration for each investigated flow condition and airfoil. This can deliver further benefit to industrial applications where experimental/reference data for calibrating the model is not always available.

“Juntos somos fortes”
Authors: Santos Leonardo Soares
Published: May 2020

Este artigo trata da intervenção das organizações políticas camponesas na produção agrária e conflitos rurais no cinturão verde do Rio de Janeiro. Durante a Era Populista (1945-64) na zona rural desta cidade, uma urbanização intensiva das áreas agrícolas mudou as relações de produção e as formas de ocupação da terra. Os territórios entre a frente urbana e os locais suburbanos foram rapida e intensamente ocupadas por residencias e indústrias.

Não-intensionalmente ou intensionalmente, isso destruiu muitas das antigas plantações e práticas tradicionais. Os pequenos lavradores começaram a resistir contra aquela expropriação e exploração. Para tanto, eles criaram várias organizações camponesas na zona rural: Sindicatos rurais, Ligas Camponesas, Cooperativas, Associações de Pequenos Lavradores, Intendências Agrícolas.

Analizaremos en este artículo los diferentes elementos que constituyen el “sistema cristiano”. El espacio y el tiempo de este estudio son globales. Con lo cual, el Occidente medieval y los cambios acontecidos fundamentalmente desde los siglos XI-XIII van a ser los fundamentos para localizar y explicar los diferentes campos de trabajo en los que hemos dividido el artículo. Empezaremos por la división de los poderes temporal y eclesiástico, continuaremos por la creación del espacio público en el pensamiento político medieval, para pasar de inmediato a la importancia del humanismo y el individualismo, para terminar con la cuestión de la configuración de la soberanía en el pensamiento medieval, es decir, los poderes ascendente y descendente. Por último, añadiremos unas conclusiones.
Del “mundo del texto” al “mundo del lector”
Authors: Pérez Pablo Fernández
Published: May 2020

Este artículo tiene como objetivo llevar a cabo una breve investigación acerca de la capacidad de los textos literarios y de sus imágenes para ofrecer a sus lectores soluciones prácticas en el marco político medieval. Para ello, se plantea un análisis de las cartas de John Ball –encuadradas en el ámbito del levantamiento inglés de 1381– y, en concreto, de las referencias en ellas registradas al poema contemporáneo Piers Plowman y a su imaginario apocalíptico. Partiendo de presupuestos teóricos vinculados a la historia intelectual, el estudio pretende explorar el espacio en que tiene lugar el encuentro –recurriendo a los términos de P. Ricoeur– entre el “mundo del texto” y el “mundo del lector”, con la intención de identificar posibles usos e interpretaciones y relacionarlos, en su caso, con las condiciones específicas que los producen.

O Violoncello piccolo a 4 e 5 cordas: Uma análise através das fontes iconográficas históricas
Authors: Sbaffi Edoardo
Published: May 2020

Esta pesquisa dedica-se a investigar a presença, o uso e as técnicas executivas de algumas variantes do violoncelo barroco: os violoncelos de pequenas dimensões (violoncello piccolo) a 4 cordas e violoncelos de 5 cordas ao longo dos séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII. O uso destes peculiares modelos de baixos de corda friccionada é difícil de demonstrar através de documentos escritos (tratados históricos e partituras) por causa da terminologia aproximativa e abrangente da época. Por outro lado, os instrumentos originais conservados em museus e coleções particulares, apresentam frequentes dúvidas de autenticidade. Neste cenário a Iconografia Musical acaba sendo uma preciosa fonte de informação. Após uma breve descrição das principais fontes primárias irão ser apresentadas e interpretadas uma coletânea de frescos, pinturas a óleo e gravuras representando estes modelos de baixo seguindo uma ordem cronológica.

Authors: Correa Antenor Ferreira , Martins Luciana Stadniki
Published: May 2020

neste artigo são apresentados e exemplificados os conceitos da autorregulação e de ciclos autorregulatórios no âmbito do aprendizado de um instrumento musical. O objetivo a ser atingido com a adoção da autorregulação encontra-se além da consecução da habilidade técnica para o desempenho de um instrumento musical, pois visa ao desenvolvimento metacognitivo do indivíduo. A base para a proposição de ciclos autorregulatórios foi motivada, sobretudo, pelos escritos do psicólogo Barry Zimmerman (1998, 2000, 2002). Como resultados das considerações aqui empreendidas, apontamos para a eficácia cognitiva do emprego da autorregulação, pois esse procedimento contribui para a autonomia do aluno que se torna responsável por todas as etapas de seu processo de aprendizagem.

Níveis de adesão ao gasto público na função desporto e lazer por parte dos municípios brasileiros
Authors: Santos Edmilson Santos dos , Mendes Alessandra Dias
Published: May 2020

Nos últimos anos temos assistido o surgimento de importantes análises sobre o financiamento das políticas de esporte e de lazer no Brasil por parte do governo federal. A participação dos municípios têm estado ausente da análise. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o nível de adesão dos municípios brasileiros ao gasto na Função Desporto e Lazer (FDL).  Como objetivo específico, avaliar os níveis de adesão por regiões e estados. Apesar dos estímulos do federalismo brasileiro à inação em matérias não reguladas por norma superior, há uma grande participação dos municípios na adesão a essa agenda. Porém, níveis diferenciados aparecem quando desagregamos as informações por região e estados. As regiões de maior desenvolvimento e seus estados apresentaram maior adesão ao gasto na FDL do que os municípios das regiões Norte e Nordeste.

The control of Aedes aegypti has been considered one of the most important public health challenges worldwide. Chemical compounds have long been used for this purpose, but resistance to these molecules has also increased. Therefore, over the last few years several studies have focused on the development of alternative tools, particularly those based on plant metabolites. The purpose of this study was to assess the larvicidal activity of Caesalpinia ferrea and Lippia origanoides against Ae. aegypti. Larvae (L3) of Ae. aegypti Liverpool and Rockefeller strains, as well as of the Recife population were exposed to different concentrations  of C. ferrea (ranging from 13.1 to 105 mg/mL) and L. origanoides (ranging from 16.3 to 130 mg/mL), and the mortality rate was evaluated up to 48 hours after the beginning of the experiment. All tested groups and  ontrol group were quadruplicated. For C. ferrea, mortality ranged from 42.5% to 100% for Ae. aegypti Liverpool strain,from 67% to 100% for Ae. aegypti Rockfeller strain, and 57% to 100% for Ae. aegypti Recife population after 48 hours of larval exposure. For L. origanoides, the larvicidal activity ranged from 75% to 100% for Ae. aegypti Liverpool strain, from 61.5% to 100% for Ae. aegypti Rockfeller strain, and from 60.5% to 100% for Ae.aegypti Recife population. The hydro ethanol extract of C. ferrea and L. origanoides presented larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti.KEY WORDS: Aedes aegypti; hydro ethanol extracts; Caesalpinia ferrea; Lippia sidoides; botanical insecticide; mosquitoes.
PARASITOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF LETTUCE SERVED IN SCHOOL MEALS AT A FEDERAL STATE SCHOOL IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL

Published: May 2020

The Brazilian “National School Lunch Program” (PNAE) must provide healthy food for students in public  primary education. Thus, it is necessary to ensure both nutritional and parasitological quality, reducing health risks. Vegetables must be clean, presenting no parasites and larvae, according to Brazilian legislation. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is one of the favorite vegetables among students, and is eaten raw in salads. This paper aims to evaluate the parasitological quality of lettuce served in school lunches. 72 samples of leaf lettuce, 36 fromconventional agriculture (CA) and 36 from family agriculture (FA), were analyzed. Half the samples in each group were sanitized by immersion in a sodium hypochlorite solution, with 2% active stabilized chlorine for 10 minutes (n=18/each) and half were not sanitized (n=18/each). Parasite load evaluation was performed by two methods in each subgroup: spontaneous sedimentation (SS) and sedimentation by centrifugation (SC). The parasite frequencies found were evaluated by the chi-squared test. Medically relevant parasites identified were helminths (Strongyloides stercoralis, Ascaris lumbricoides and Hookworms) as well as protozoa (Balantidium coli and Entamoeba coli). 44.6% of the FA samples presented some form of parasite by SS evaluation and 33.4% by SC evaluation; 66.7% of the CA samples presented parasites by SS evaluation, and 44.5% by SC evaluation. No significant differences were noted between the FA and CA groups in either technique. No parasites were found in any of the sanitized lettuces, regardless of the subgroup or technique applied. These results evidence theimportance of adequate training and guidance for vegetable growers, food handlers as well as the general population regarding proper hygiene of lettuce leaves prior to consumption.
“Reboldra”, de Guimarães Rosa: a insurgência do “mundo de por-de-trás”
Authors: Camargo Frederico Antonio Camillo
Published: May 2020

Este artigo tem o objetivo de promover uma análise crítica introdutória de “Reboldra”, de Guimarães Rosa, um conto de Ave, palavra quase inteiramente esquecido por leitores e estudiosos do escritor mineiro. “Reboldra” apresenta uma complexa superposição de linhas narrativas explícitas ou apenas sugeridas, além de efeitos de sentido múltiplos que vão sendo plasmados ao longo do entrecho. A discussão dos textos menos valorizados de Guimarães Rosa faculta descortinar certos traços encontráveis com menos frequência em sua obra “canônica”, como o final “infeliz” de “Reboldra”, o que pode contribuir para o refinamento da fisionomia literária do criador de Sagarana.

The study of community tourism development based on green economy model is the focus of this paper. The research is implemented in Viet Hai - a commune of Cat Hai island district, Hai Phong city, Vietnam. In order to evaluate, select and develop this model in the locality, a number of research methods have been applied such as: Method of seminars, expert consult, group system of sampling methods, fertilizer analyzing laboratories and methods of interviewing and collecting socio-economic data. The research outcome is given that, the community tourism based on green economy is a type of economic model that contributes not only on the local socio-economic development, but also surmounting the seasonal tourism situation, and maximizing the region's potential and strengths. The model chosen was the communitys based tourism model, with the participation of 1/3 of households in Viet Hai commune. The model has a management board with applicable rules and regulations to objects such as households, tourism operators and Viet Hai visitors. The model has been oriented towards exploiting the landscape values associated with environmental protection programs, especially towards the point-based community tourism model of Cat Ba district – which say “no” to single-use plastic products. This tourism model has created the tourism products that are different from the existing models in Cat Ba (Hai Phong), creating channels to link with tourists to attract more visitors to Viet Hai increasingly to the year.
Support for students with disabilities in a period of educational change
Authors: Dyduch Ewa , Trojańska Małgorzata
Published: May 2020

In Poland, the right to education is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (Article 70). People with disabilities have full access to the free universal education system. The Act of Educational Law published on the 14th of December 2016 (Journal of Laws 2017, Item 59, Article 1, Point 6 & 7) guarantees free and unlimited access to all types of education to students with special educational needs. This is done in accordance with their cognitive, social, and emotional development, educational needs, and predisposition. They are also granted the right to individualized care plans, approaches, and curricula.
Students with special educational needs are offered unlimited access to services specializing in compensation, enhancement, and improvement of their wellbeing. The complex and multifaceted approach that is provided for students with disabilities in education is not only to support their comprehensive development but also to develop skills that will allow them to: successfully communicate (verbally and nonverbally), make their own choices, be creative, solve problems, be able to assess the impact of their actions on their lives and their environment, cope in various situations, build their own system of values and beliefs, and be able to work well with others. Support for students with special educational needs should be individually tailored depending on students' age, type and severity of disability, type of service (educational, rehabilitation, occupational) and also on students' interests, talents, and preferences.

Published: May 2020

This study is aimed to investigate condolence strategies used by a group of Indonesians lecturers to obituaries announced in a WhatsApp group. The study seeks to answer kind of condolence strategies used by the members and the condolence sequences expressed by the members. Since data is gathered from a computer mediated communication, i.e. instant messaging, this study uses a netnopragmatic approach, an approach to studying the use of language in online communities, coined from netnography research method, an ethnographic research done in online communities. The study shows that the members mostly recite Quranic verses and pray for Godâ€™s mercy and forgiveness for the deceased in expressing their condolences. The result is due to the faith that most members have, i.e. Islam, which teaches them to pray when they first hear bad news. It can be clearly seen that expressing condolences is influenced by the faith of the condolence giver; not the religion that the deceased held.

Vortices in Rotating and Gravitating Gas Disk and in a Protoplanetary Disk
Authors: G. Abrahamyan Martin
Published: May 2020

Nonlinear equations describing dynamics of 2D vortices are very important in the physics of the ocean and the atmosphere and in plasma physics and Astrophysics. Here linear and nonlinear 2D vortex perturbations of gravitating and light gaseous disks are examined in the geostrophic and post-geostrophic approximations. In the frame of geostrophic approximation, it is shown that the vortex with positive velocity circulation is characterized by low pressure with negative excess mass density of substance. Vortex with negative circulation has higher pressure and is a relatively tight formation with the positive excess mass density. In the post-geostrophic approximation, structures of the isolated monopole and dipole vortex (modons) solutions of these equations are studied. Two types of mass distributions in dipole vortices are found. The first type of modon is characterized by an asymmetrically positioned single circular densification and one rarefaction. The second type is characterized by two asymmetrically positioned densifications and two rarefactions, where the second densification-rarefaction pair is crescent shaped. The constant density contours of a dipole vortex in a light gas disk coincide with the streamlines of the vortex; in a self-gravitating disk, the constant density contours in the vortex do not coincide with streamlines. Possible manifestations of monopole and dipole vortices in astrophysical objects are discussed. Vortices play decisive role in the process of planet formation. Gas in a protoplanetary disk practically moves on sub-Keplerian speeds. Rigid particles, under the action of a head wind drags, lose the angular momentum and energy. As a result, the ~10 cm to meter-sized particles drift to the central star for hundreds of years. Long-lived vortical structures in gas disk are a possible way to concentrate the ~10 cm to meter sized particles and to grow up them in planetesimal. Here the effect of anticyclonic Burgers vortex on formation of planetesimals in a protoplanetary dusty disc in local approach is also considered. It is shown that the Burgers vortex with homogeneously rotating kernel and a converging radial stream of substance can effectively accumulate in its nuclear area the meter-sized rigid particles of total mass ∼1028 g for characteristic time ∼106 year.
The Role of Information Technologies in Natural Family Planning
Authors: Judáková Zuzana
Published: May 2020

Freedom is needed in family planning and in the decision on how many children the couple will have, not to be influenced by a third person, political situations, or religious conviction. There is a need for information, education, and communication about possibilities in natural family planning, in order to be able to choose the right way, because there are many options even without side effects. Nowadays, we can add to these traditional possibilities of natural family planning also information technologies and electronic devices, which are increasingly available to a large portion of the population. Their reliability, with correct usage, is comparable to the barrier methods and in some cases to hormonal contraceptive methods. Next development of these devices can more increase their reliability. Of course, the active approach of users is needed.

Authors: Arrascaeta-Llanes Abilio , Kashyap Akanksha , Meyler Diana , Gupta Ravi , Tharayil Zubin , Khan Waqas
Published: May 2020

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is usually a silent entity until one of its complications arises, such as heart failure. SOVA itself is uncommon, but it is more frequently associated with a supracristal ventricular septal defect (SVSD). We present a 67-year-old man with a history of an asymptomatic SVSD who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms of heart failure. He was subsequently found to have a ruptured SOVA and underwent urgent surgical repair.
Open Dorsal Proximal Interphalangeal Dislocation
Authors: Derrah Ryan , Wolterstorff Cameron
Published: May 2020

We report a case of a 44-year-old male with an uncommon case of an open dorsal proximal interphalangeal (PIP) dislocation. Although open PIP dislocations are often volar, dorsal dislocations are fraught with complications due to the potential for infection and damage to supportive structures. Features of this case are discussed together with its implications, including lack of standardized management in the literature, use of a closed reduction following copious irrigation, and requirement for antibiotic use.
Rare External Jugular Vein Pseudoaneurysm
Authors: Wallace Patrick , Haber Jordana
Published: May 2020

External jugular vein pseudoaneurysm is a very rare cause of a neck mass due to the low pressure venous system. This case demonstrates a 27-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with a non-tender, compressible, left-sided neck mass that enlarged with valsalva and talking, and intermittent paresthesias. Upon workup, she was diagnosed with an external jugular vein pseudoaneurysm. Complications of this diagnosis are mentioned in the literature; however, most patients with an external jugular vein pseudoaneurysm or aneurysm can be safely discharged with close follow-up with a vascular surgeon.
Urethral Calculi
Authors: Lee Perry , Haber Jordana
Published: May 2020

Urolithiasis is a condition with calculi commonly found within the kidney, ureter, or bladder. The urethra is an uncommon location of urolithiasis, with limited case reports and literature reviews of its presentation and management. Here we discuss a 24-year-old female who presented with urinary urgency, flank pain, and urinary retention for 12 hours. Physical exam showed a calculus at the urethral meatus. This case discusses the manual removal of a urethral calculus in a female patient with use of forceps, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms and urinary retention.
Portal Venous Thrombosis Associated with Use of Etonogestrel/ethinyl Estradiol Vaginal Ring
Authors: Bailey Katelynn , Tranovich Michael
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Portal venous thrombosis is a life-threatening cause of abdominal pain. In younger patients, heritable thrombophilias, pregnancy, tobacco use, and oral contraceptives are associated.

Case Report: A 26-year-old woman prescribed contraceptive vaginal ring presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with an extensive portal venous thrombosis. Management included heparin and later an oral anticoagulant with good short-term outcome.

Discussion: Women using hormonal contraception are approximately four times more likely to develop thromboembolism. Risk of thromboembolism is similar between users of intravaginal and oral contraceptives.

Conclusion: Portal venous thrombosis must be considered in women presenting with abdominal pain who are prescribed hormonal contraceptives, including intravaginal forms.
An Early Holiday Surprise: Cholecystitis Wrapped in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Authors: Gould Kevin , Miller Stephen , Moll Joel
Published: May 2020

This is a novel case report of a 44-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with epigastric pain wrapping around to her back. She had no risk factors for cardiac disease, but her initial electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a Wellens syndrome pattern and she was taken urgently to the catheterization lab. After a negative catheterization, she underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, which was positive for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC). Ultimately, abdominal computed tomography revealed that she had cholecystitis, which likely was the cause of her TC and ECG changes.
The Ultimate Poker Face: A Case Report of Facial Diplegia, a Guillain-Barré Variant
Authors: Lowe Joshua , Pfaff James
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Facial diplegia, a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), is a challenging diagnosis to make in the emergency department due to its resemblance to neurologic Lyme disease.

Case report: We present a case of a 27-year-old previously healthy man who presented with bilateral facial paralysis.

Discussion: Despite the variance in presentation, the recommended standard of practice for diagnostics (cerebrospinal fluid albumin-cytological dissociation) and disposition (admission for observation, intravenous immunoglobulin, and serial negative inspiratory force) of facial diplegia are the same as for other presentations of GBS.
Conclusion: When presented with bilateral facial palsy emergency providers should consider autoimmune, infectious, idiopathic, metabolic, neoplastic, neurologic, and traumatic etiologies in addition to the much more common neurologic Lyme disease.
55 year-old Female with Hematuria
Authors: Long Drew , Long Brit
Published: May 2020

Case Presentation: A 55 year-old female presented to the emergency department with left sided abdominal pain and hematuria. Computed tomography scan of her abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a large left renal mass with extension into the left ureter, left renal vein, and inferior vena cava. She was admitted and treated for presumed renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Discussion: RCC may present with abdominal or flank pain and hematuria, but more commonly presents with vague symptoms. RCC should be suspected in a patient presenting with hematuria and abdominal or flank pain, especially if vague symptoms such as fatigue or anorexia are also present.
Unsuspecting Dietary Factors in Hyperkalemia: A Case Report on Why History Matters
Authors: McLendon Kevin , Wiggins Matthew , Hunt Derek , Gauthier Alex , Thoppil Deepu
Published: May 2020

Introduction: We present a case of hyperkalemia secondary to excessive dietary intake of hard caramel candies.

Case Report: An 88-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain and vomiting was found to have hyperkalemia of 6.9 milliequivalents per liter. He was stabilized, treated, and discharged the following day after resolution. The cause was identified as his daily consumption of 200 hard caramel candies.

Discussion: The patient had been consuming sugar-free candies, which induced a chronic diarrhea. This led to potassium wasting and augmentation of his home medications. When he transitioned to eating regular caramel candies, he retained too much potassium leading to his presentation.

Conclusion: While often overlooked, dietary history is a crucial part of history-taking to ensure that the underlying cause for illness is discovered and addressed.
A Case Report of Acute Heart Failure Due to Infective Aortic Endocarditis Diagnosed by Point-of-care Ultrasound
Authors: Gallagher Ryan , Wilson Michelle , Hite Pamela , Jackson Bradley
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition with significant morbidity and mortality, and can require surgical repair.

Case Report: A 36-year-old man presented to the emergency department for worsening dyspnea and chest pain. Point-of-care echocardiography demonstrated a mobile oscillating mass on the aortic valve with poor approximation of the valve leaflets, suggesting aortic valve insufficiency secondary to IE as the cause of acute heart failure. The patient underwent emergent aortic valve replacement within 24 hours.

Discussion: While point-of-care echocardiography has been well documented in identifying tricuspid vegetations, aortic valve involvement and subsequent heart failure is less well described. Earlier recognition of aortic valve vegetations and insufficiency can expedite surgical intervention, with decreased complication rates linked to earlier antimicrobial therapy.

Conclusion: This case report highlights the ability of point-of-care ultrasound to identify aortic vegetations, allowing for the earlier diagnosis and therapy.
High-Pressure Injection Injury of the Face: A Case Report on Presentation and Management
Authors: Zitelny Edan , Briggs Blake , Little Rachel , Masneri David
Published: May 2020

Introduction: High-pressure injection injuries have been chronicled for decades. These injuries often affect distal extremities as they are most commonly involved in workplace accidents. However, we discuss a young male with a paint-gun injection injury to his face.

Case Report: We discuss the case of a young man presenting to the emergency department after high-pressure injection injury to the face. He eventually underwent extensive debridement of the face. We discuss differences in caring for an injection wound to an extremity versus the face, including time sensitivity of treatment, initial stabilizing measures, and critical steps.

Discussion: This case demonstrates a rare presentation of a high-pressure paint injection injury. This injury presented a unique surgical challenge where, despite compartment syndrome being less common, cosmetic outcome and infectious complication prevention remained critical priorities.

Conclusion: While similarities exist in management of an injection injury to a limb, due to the rarity and deceptive appearance of this particular injury to the face, high suspicion along with urgent imaging and surgical consultation is warranted.
