Authors: Khan Habibullah , Ahmad Iftikhar , Habib Hafsa , Hayat Khizar , Hayat Zafar
Published: July 2020

Brucellosis is the most common zoonotic bacterial infection in the world. The causative organism is Brucella spp. and the incubation of period is 5 days to 5 months. Although immunological tests are widely used for the diagnosis but cultures of the blood or other clinical specimens is the gold standard for the diagnosis. Outbreaks of brucellosis occur from time to time. It spreads mostly in the communities having close contact with the sheep and cattle, like farmers, cattle grazers, veterinary workers, and butchers. In the urban situation the outbreaks usually occur due to consumption of unpasteurized milk or its products. The clinical features of brucellosis are protean but the major one is a prolonged fever. Infected animals are the reservoirs and the sources of infection. Antibiotics have a major role in the management of brucellosis. Although a single antibiotic may be effective but a combination is preferred to prevent the chances of development of resistance and recurrence of disease. Antibiotics commonly used in the management of brucellosis are doxycycline, rifampicin, streptomycin, fluoroquinolones, cotrimoxazole, and chloramphenicol. Resistance to one or the other antibiotic have been reported from time to time. Dual therapy is commonly prescribed and triple therapy is used in serious conditions like neuro-brucellosis, endocarditis, or recurrence. The objective of this review was to evaluate the effects of various antibiotic regimens in the management of brucellosis. Antibiotic resistance is a problem which can aggravate the situation in future. We suggest that antibiotics’ use should be rationalized to prevent future drug resistance. At least dual therapy should be used to prevent the chances of recurrence and triple therapy for complicated cases and in cases of relapse. There should be no compromise on the optimal doses and duration of therapy.

Diante dos rumorosos escândalos de corrupção e lavagem de dinheiro no país envolvendo empresas de capital aberto, em especial aqueles descobertos pela Operação Lava Jato, percebe-se a fragilidade das companhias no tocante à gestão de controles internos e ao gerenciamento de riscos. Assim, o estudo tem por objetivo identificar as principais características do gerenciamento de riscos e da gestão de controles internos divulgadas nos formulários de referência de companhias de capital aberto listadas na B3, envolvidas em crimes de corrupção e lavagem de dinheiro. Foram analisados os formulários de referência dos exercícios de 2013 a 2016 de seis empresas que vêm sendo investigadas pelo Ministério Público Federal. Observou-se, dentre outras fragilidades, que algumas empresas ainda não adotam uma política de gerenciamento de riscos formal, ou só recentemente passaram a implementá-la, enquanto outras julgam que a gestão de controles internos não tem sido eficaz.

Este estudo buscou identificar as motivações dos investidores e analistas do mercado financeiro de aplicarem/recomendarem investimentos em empresas com Patrimônio Líquido Negativo (PLN). Para tanto, realizaram-se entrevistas com investidores (22) e analistas do mercado financeiro (09) que possuíram/possuem, recomendaram/recomendam a compra, venda, manutenção de ações de empresas com PLN. O método utilizado foi a Análise de Conteúdo, suportada pela premissa da Hipótese do Mercado Eficiente (HME) e das Finanças Comportamentais (FC). A análise conduziu a três categorias no processo de formação da tomada de decisão: a primeira – “Processo racional” – atende à HME, de que tanto o investidor quanto os analistas são racionais; a segunda– “Processo pseudorracional”– atende parcialmente à HME, como as FC; e a terceira – “Processo comportamental”– atende às FC. Os resultados demonstram que, individualmente nem os investidores ou analistas entrevistados podem ser classificados dentro de uma categoria específica, não havendo, neste sentido, um processo totalmente racional, pseudorracional ou comportamental.

Published: July 2020

O presente estudo analisa a relação entre as perspectivas de eficiência alocativa, técnica e social nas Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior. Utilizando conceitos ligados à Nova Administração Pública, especialmente quanto à busca pela eficiência institucional, que otimiza recursos na promoção de melhores bens e serviços à sociedade, são obtidos os escores de eficiência por meio da Análise Envoltória de Dados, para verificar a diferença estatística entre grupos (teste de Kruskal-Wallis) e, por fim, analisar a relação entre esses conceitos mediante Regressões Simultâneas. Os resultados apontam que, dentre as três perspectivas de eficiência analisadas, somente o aspecto social, correspondente à proporcionalidade de utilização dos serviços educacionais, que varia significativamente entre as instituições. Em contrapartida, considerando a similaridade das perspectivas de eficiência alocativa e técnica, percebe-se que o gasto de recursos públicos e os indicadores de qualidade de ensino são homogêneos. Ou seja, a qualidade de ensino e seu custo equivalem entre as instituições.
Global Financial Stability Report, April 2020
Authors:   International Monetary Fund. Monetary and Capital Markets Department
Published: July 2020

The April 2020 Global Financial Stability Report (GFSR) assesses the financial stability challenges posed by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Chapter 1 describes how financial conditions tightened abrubtly with the onset of the pandemic, with risk asset prices dropping sharply as investors rushed to safety and liquidity. It finds that a further tightening of financial conditions may expose vulnerabilities, including among nonbank financial institutions, and that bank resilience may be tested if economic and financial market stresses rise. Vulnerabilities in global risky corporate credit markets, including weakened credit quality of borrowers, looser underwriting standards, liquidity risks at investment funds, and increased interconnectedness, could generate losses at nonbank financial institutions in a severe adverse scenario, as discussed in Chapter 2. The pandemic led to an unprecedented and sharp reversal of portfolio flows, highlighting the challenges of managing flows in emerging and frontier markets. Chapter 3 shows that global financial conditions tend to influence portfolio flows more during surges than in normal times, that stronger domestic fundamentals can help mitigate outflows, and that greater foreign participation in local currency bond markets may increase price volatility where domestic markets lack depth. Beyond the immediate challenges of COVID-19, Chapter 4 explores the profitability pressures that banks are likely to face over the medium term in an environment where low interest rates are expected to persist. Chapter 5 takes a broader perspective on physical risks associated with climate change. It finds that these risks do not appear to be reflected in global equity valuations and that stress testing and better disclosure of exposures to climatic hazards are essential to better assess physical risk.
Distributed Ledger Technology Experiments in Payments and Settlements

Major transformations in payment and settlements have occurred in generations. The first generation was paper-based. Delivery times for payment instruments took several days domestically and weeks internationally. The second generation involved computerization with batch processing. Links between payment systems were made through manual or file-based interfaces. The change-over period between technologies was long and still some paper-based instruments like checks and cash remain in use. The third generation, which has been emerging, involves electronic and mobile payment schemes that enable integrated, immediate, and end-to-end payment and settlement transfers. For example, real-time gross settlement systems have been available in almost all countries. DLT has been viewed as a potential platform for the next generation of payment systems, enhancing the integration and the reconciliation of settlement accounts and their ledgers. So far, experiments with DLT experimentations point to the potential for financial infrastructures to move towards real-time settlement, flatter structures, continuous operations, and global reach. Testing in large-value payments and securities settlement systems have partly demonstrated the technical feasibility of DLT for this new environment. The projects examined analyzed issues associated with operational capacity, resiliency, liquidity savings, settlement finality, and privacy. DLT-based solutions can also facilitate delivery versus payment of securities, payment versus payment of foreign exchange transactions, and efficient cross-border payments.
Acute myocardial infarction with left main thromboses in a young amphetamine addict
Authors: Vichairuangthum Kitigon
Published: July 2020

Amphetamines are common in drug abuse, particularly in the young population. These sympathomimetic amines work by activating the sympathetic nervous system. As a result, the heart rate increases and the oxygen supply decreases, causing the oxygen demand of the heart to increase. However, the most common cardiovascular effects are tachycardia and hypertension. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is reported rarely after the use of amphetamines, especially in young patients [1]. We report a case of a healthy, young man who presented to our emergency department after oral consumption of amphetamines. In this case, amphetamine abuse caused myocardial ischaemia due to blood clot formation.

Introduction

Obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors as well as decreased 25(OH) vitamin D serum levels. We aimed to study 25(OH) vitamin D levels in adolescents with obesity compared with normal weight controls in association with CVD risk factors, and the possible effect of vitamin D supplementation.

Material and methods

In a cross-sectional study, 69 obese and 34 normal-weight adolescents were included. In an interventional study 15 adolescents with obesity and vitamin D insufficiency were given 2000 IU vitamin D per os daily for 3 months.

Results

Adolescents with obesity had significantly lower 25(OH) vitamin D levels compared with normal-weight controls (12.0 (3.0–36.0) vs. 34.0 (10.0–69.0) ng/ml, respectively, p < 0.001). In adolescents with obesity, 25(OH) vitamin D was inversely associated with leptin even after adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (r = –0.340, p = 0.009). Conversely, 25(OH) vitamin D was not related with other parameters, such as BMI, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, insulin, homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index, adiponectin, leptin/adiponectin ratio, and visfatin levels. Following supplementation in 15 vitamin D insufficient adolescents with obesity, 25(OH) vitamin D significantly increased (from 17.3 (12.5–27.8) to 32.6 (14.3–68.0) ng/ml, p = 0.005) and so did low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (from 85.4 ±9.5 to 92.1 ±15.8 mg/dl, p = 0.022), while there were reductions in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (from 5.8 ±0.2 to 5.5 ±0.1%, p = 0.03) and leptin (from 19.7 (7.8–45.5) to 15.1 (4.3–37.3) ng/ml, p = 0.03). Oxidised LDL, paraoxonase, arylesterase, and urine isoprostanes remained unchanged.

Conclusions

Adolescents with obesity had lower 25(OH) vitamin D, which may be associated with higher leptin levels. Vitamin D supplementation may lead to HbA1c and leptin reductions, but also to an increase in LDL-C.
Atherosclerotic diseases and lung cancer – a ten-year cross-sectional study in Cyprus
Authors: Rethemiotaki Irene
Published: July 2020

Introduction

The main purpose of this work is to study atherosclerotic diseases and lung cancer in Cyprus during the period 2007–2017 with the aim of finding not only the atherosclerotic diseases with the highest risk but also a possible association between these diseases and lung cancer.

Material and methods

The statistical methods used to extract the results of this work are Student’s t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), in order to check the statistical significance of atherosclerotic diseases with regard to the characteristics of the patients. Additionally, a multiple logistic regression analysis was used with the aim of finding the disease with the highest risk. Pearson’s r was used to find a possible association between atherosclerotic diseases and lung cancer.

Results

As specified by multiple logistic regression analysis, the atherosclerotic diseases with the highest risk of death are intracranial haemorrhage (OR = 17.3), heart failure (OR = 3.29), and stroke (OR = 3.02), with females having higher risk compared to men. Moreover, a statistically significant relation was found between heart failure and cerebral infarction with lung cancer.

Conclusions

The results of this work highlight the statistically significant characteristics of patients with atherosclerotic diseases and identify the risk of death according to the type of the disease. A link between these diseases and cancer was also identified.
