Motivations for the practice of veganism and vegetarianism in a sample of adherents from the city of São Paulo
Authors: Lee Carolina Hae so , Cabral Ana Cristina Medeiros Moreira , Maia Luana Bandeira
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Currently, it is observed that vegan and vegetarian diets have been much discussed in various media, attracting looks from those who seek to understand it as an awareness movement. In vegetarianism, most or all animal products are excluded, depending on the variations or subtypes. Veganism, in turn, encompasses dietary and social practices motivated by the non-exploitation or use of animals in all possible sectors. Today's society increasingly demands the need to consider ecological and social issues in choices and decision-making. Objectives: To identify the reason for choosing to adhere to a vegan or vegetarian diet in a sample of practitioners from the city of São Paulo. Methods: Cross-sectional study with qualitative analysis of the results. An adaptation of the questionnaire "Public opinion survey on vegetarianism" of IBOPE Intelligence (2018) was elaborated with open and closed questions, which was applied through the Google forms platform to a sample of 22 participants, inhabitants of the city of São Paulo and adherents to vegan/vegetarian diets for at least one year. The questionnaire was disseminated through online social platforms. Results and discussion: The sample had the participation of 72.7% of individuals aged 18 to 30 years, most of them female (90.9%). The information collected states that the vegan/vegetarian diet is considered today as a 'lifestyle', more than a diet, also associated with 'personal identity'. In addition, the 'strong feeling of empathy for animals and their causes', 'awareness of the environmental impacts of the omnivorous diet', 'improvement in quality of life or health' and 'feeling of lightness or purity in the spiritual and/or mental and/or psychological sphere' were the main motivating items for adherence to the vegan/vegetarian diet, respectively. Conclusion: The present study allowed a deeper understanding of the vegan/vegetarian diet in Brazil and the world, its origins, dilemmas and diverse interpretations. The movement is relatively new, not only as a form of food, but also as a lifestyle.

Published: June 2023

The abrupt advancement of technologies will allow users to be closer to the brands they consume, making them feel free to boycott, through the culture of cancellation, any one that goes against the majority's thoughts. Therefore, this work aimed to analyze the cancellation culture, in order to understand how it affects companies in their performance. Therefore, it was necessary to understand the impacts caused by social media, on companies, and consumer behavior, so that, finally, it can understand how brands are affected by virtual cancellation. A qualitative research was then carried out, and through the content raised in the theoretical framework, it was possible to guide the case study of the companies WePink, Natura and Flow Podcast. Given this, it appears that every company is subject to the culture of cancellation, however, the greatest damage is caused to brand reputations, for the most part, the boycott has the opposite effect than expected. In any case, this culture is harmful in all its aspects, and brands need to be aware of their positions and crisis management for any setback.

Published: June 2023

O artigo discute aspectos da Política Nacional de Humanização – Humaniza SUS (PNH), que tem como intuito, gerar mudanças e inovações na saúde, principalmente na relação entre gestão e cuidado. Possui como uma de suas principais diretrizes o acolhimento com classificação de risco que é considerado um relevante instrumento na promoção de melhorias visando principalmente à organização dos serviços de emergência, por meio da classificação dos atendimentos de acordo com o grau de gravidade sem que ocorram agravos os prejuízos a saúde do paciente. O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal descrever a importância da implementação da política nacional de humanização bem como a adoção do protocolo de Manchester nos serviços de urgência e emergência hospitalar. A pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, realizada através de uma revisão da literatura compreendida entre os anos de 2008 a 2018, com artigos publicados nas bases de dados SCIELO, BVS-BIREME, LILACS, BDENF, publicados em língua portuguesa, que possuíam texto completo e resumos em português através dos descritores: Acolhimento, Humanização da assistência, Enfermagem e emergência. Sendo utilizados 36 artigos para análise nesta revisão. Nos resultados, originaram-se duas categorias, a humanização dos serviços em saúde se torna política pública do SUS, em que o enfoque foi sobre apresentar significativas mudanças que ocorreram na forma de acolher o usuário do serviço e o surgimento da PNH, e a outra categoria, A organização dos serviços hospitalares mediante adoção de protocolos de acolhimentos, em que se discuti como funcionou a adoção de protocolos de acolhimento nos serviços hospitalares. A utilização dessa proposta nos serviços de emergência demonstra grande importância, porém trata-se de uma política “recente” e ainda são muitos os desafios para se ter uma assistência de acordo com os ideais das políticas de saúde do SUS.
Meningioma extracraneal maligno: Presentación de un caso
Authors: Álvarez Juan Esteban Cruz
Published: June 2023

Si bien los Meningiomas son los tumores primarios del sistema nervioso central que ocupan el segundo lugar en frecuencia, los de carácter benigno representan el 80-90% de los casos. En raras ocasiones puede presentar una evolución agresiva, siendo poco común la transformación maligna de un meningioma, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (WHO); clasificado como un benigno WHO grado 1, a un anaplásico WHO grado 3; Por lo que hasta ahora la etiología de este suceso a sido incierta para el mundo científico. Sumado a la malignización, la extensión extracraneal es un hallazgo aún más singular, presentándose apenas en menos del 1 a 2% de todos los meningiomas 1. En nuestro paciente de 45 años tras una resección anterior y radioterapia coadyuvante, el tumor demostró transformación maligna y el rápido crecimiento provocó que se extendiera hacia duramadre, seno longitudinal superior y se exteriorice a la calota afectando hasta el cuero cabelludo y diseminando metástasis extracraneales a distancia en la calota misma.
Philia na concepção política de Aristóteles
Authors: Valim Ricardo
Published: June 2023

Esta pesquisa teve como principal objetivo analisar a Philia (amizade) sob o prisma da concepção política de Aristóteles. Este trabalho contou com o apoio de uma rica bibliografia de pesquisadores, mas principalmente com as obras do próprio Aristóteles tais como a Política e a Ética a Nicômaco onde foram subtraídos dados interessantes como, por exemplo, a própria idéia de política do filósofo, o papel do cidadão na pólis, a importância de uma boa educação para os futuros governantes, o que é de fato o “homem animal político”, a noção de justiça, a forte relação que existe entre política e ética. Neste trabalho acadêmico também é explorada a visão que o filósofo apresenta da Philia (amizade) na Ética a Nicômaco bem como as suas devidas distinções. E após termos concluído todo este percurso chegamos ao ponto em que culmina a amizade com a política. E é justamente aqui em que nos perguntamos: o que tem a Philia para contribuir para as relações políticas? Porque ela é assim tão cara para Aristóteles? Porque se deve exercitar a amizade? E de fato percebemos que é somente por via de relações em que o ser humano é sincero consigo mesmo com o outro que a pólis é beneficiada. Isto ocorre pelo simples fato de que se uma cidade está bem organizada dentro de seus limites com cidadãos praticantes da virtude nada pode impedir o florescimento desta pólis. Mas para que estes cidadãos sejam de fato virtuosos é preciso criar uma cultura pautada na virtude.
A (IM)POSSIBILIDADE DE RETENÇÃO DA MERCADORIA PELO TRANSPORTADOR RODOVIÁRIO DE CARGA, EM CASO DE INADIMPLEMENTO DO VALOR DO FRETE, À LUZ DO DECRETO Nº 19.473 DE 10 DE DEZEMBRO DE 1930
Authors: Campos da Costa Francisco , Silvy Rodrigues Jonathan
Published: June 2023

O presente artigo tem como objeto a análise acerca da (in)existência de amparo legal para que o transportador rodoviário de carga retenha em sua posse a mercadoria transportada, em caso de inadimplemento do valor arbitrado à título de frete, até que este venha a ser quitado pelo contratante/embarcador. Para tanto, esta pesquisa utilizará metodologia dedutiva e as fontes serão de cunho bibliográfico e documental. A pesquisa examinará a revogação ou vigência do Decreto nº 19.473, de 10 de dezembro de 1930, o qual, por intermédio do art. 2º, possibilita a retenção de mercadorias em tais caso, com amparo no posicionamento doutrinário e jurisprudencial sobre o tema. O ponto central de debate deste artigo decorre do debate sobre a extensão do Decreto s/n de 25 de abril de 1991 teria incluído o Decreto nº 19.473 na lista de normas revogadas, o que inviabilizaria a sua utilização para fundamentar juridicamente a retenção de carga por parte do transportador. Como resultado da pesquisa, constatou-se que o Decreto de 1930 fora recepcionado pela atual Constituição Federal de 1988 com status de lei ordinária, portanto, sua revogação estaria condicionada à regulamentação de uma nova lei, a partir da instauração de um processo legislativo constitucional, como estabelecido pela própria Lei de Introdução às normas do Direito Brasileiro.
An Islamic Perspective on the Usage of Bodies of the Deceased in the Teaching and Learning of Anatomy
Authors:   Director of Research, Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM)
Published: June 2023

Anatomy is regarded as one of the fundamental knowledge areas in medicine. Traditionally, the approach of teaching and learning of anatomy is primarily conducted through dissection of bodies of the deceased. This allows for a hands-on approach for medical students to learn anatomy. Dissection is also a method for surgeons to improve and upgrade their surgical skills and at the same time, serves as a means to test new surgical tools and techniques. However, Islam prohibits any act that can be regarded as disrespectful to the deceased. In spite of this, there is a pressing need for medical students to master anatomical knowledge in order for them to become medical doctors. This article looks at the teaching and learning of anatomy from the perspective of Islam. The article begins by looking at the history of learning anatomy. It then discusses Islam’s prohibition on mutilation of the body of the deceased, conditions under maṣlaḥah that allows dissection to be done in medical education, and several fatāwā on this issue. This article also touches on the methods employed in Malaysia for the teaching and learning of human anatomy.
PtAu Nanoparticle as a Catalyst for Ethanol Electrooxidation
Authors: Sabella Amelia , Auliya Annisa
Published: June 2023

In this work, PtAu nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using the electrodeposition technique. The nanoparticles obtained were irregularly spherical in shape and in the size range of 20-200 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the formed PtAu nanoparticles were alloys, because they showed a peak of 2θ in the region between Pt and Au metals, namely at 2θ 39.15˚ and 45.53˚. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) test showed that the PtAu catalyst has an ethanol electrooxidation activity of 22.9 mA/cm2, 11 times higher than the Pt catalyst previously synthesized using the same technique and conditions. In addition, at 300–1000 cycles the ethanol electrooxidation performance is fairly constant, indicating that this catalyst is quite stable. Interestingly alloying Pt with Au also increases the poisoning resistance of the catalyst from CO or other intermediate species. Thus, the use of PtAu catalysts can effectively increase catalytic activity, maintain stability of the catalyst, and reduce the possibility of poisoning by intermediate species.

Actualitati in diagnosticul carcinomului hepatocelular
Authors: Stoian Marilena
Published: June 2023

Carcinomul hepatocelular (HCC) este de obicei diagnosticat tardiv din doua motive: absenta simptomelor la pacientii cu boala precoce si reticenta unor clinicieni de a asigura urmarirea pacientilor cu risc crescut de a dezvolta HCC. Iata de ce sunt necesare dezbateri cu privire la beneficiile supravegherii in randul persoanelor cu risc ridicat. Se estimeaza ca, in tarile occidentale, mai putin de o treime dintre pacientii cu ciroza sunt supusi urmaririi active pentru depistarea HCC. Asa se explica de ce multi pacienti, la momentul diagnosticarii hepatocarcinomului, se afla in stadiu evolutiv avansat. Un alt aspect al cauzelor severitatii acestei forme de carcinom il reprezinta diagnosticul HCC, care poate fi dificil, necesitand adesea utilizarea uneia sau mai multor modalitati imagistice. Scopul diagnosticului precoce, cu potential curabil, este de a detecta tumorile atunci cand acestea au o dimensiune ≤2 cm, astfel incat sa fie disponibila intreaga gama de optiuni de tratament. Rata de supravietuire la cinci ani pentru pacientii ale caror tumori sunt detectate intr-un stadiu incipient si care primesc tratament depaseste 70%. Diagnosticul tardiv al carcinomului hepatocelular in cursul evolutiei afectiunilor primare hepatice este responsabil de o rata mica de supravietuire: de numai 6 pana la 20 de luni, ceea ce-i confera gravitate crescuta, cu risc crescut de mortalitate.

Authors: Jangir Babu Lal , Somvanshi Ramesh
Published: June 2023

The present investigation describes the spontaneous pathological lesions in urinary bladders (n = 177) of slaughtered buffaloes collected from Northern India. Gross examination revealed congestion, haemorrhages, oedematous changes and thickening of mucosa. Microscopically, epithelial abnormalities, inflammatory and neoplastic conditions were noticed. Epithelial abnormalities included epithelial hyperplasia, von Brunn’s nests, cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis. Inflammatory conditions such as congestion, haemorrhages and cystitis were noticed. Cystitis was classified as lymphocytic, plasmo-lymphocytic, follicular and interstitial types. However, only single case of haemangiosarcoma was observed. Polymerase chain reaction revealed the presence of DNA of only BPV-1 in one sample out of 21, while one sample showed the presence of DNA of both BPV-1 and BPV-2. On immunohistochemistry, Ki-67 expression was observed only in haemangiosarcoma and one case of plasmo-lymphocytic cystitis with immunostaining restricted to nuclei. COX-2 immunostaining was observed in one case each of flat hyperplasia, von Brunn’s nest, haemangiosarcoma and two cases of plasmo-lymphocytic cystitis. Among epithelial abnormalities, COX-2 immunostaining was restricted to epithelial component of the lesions, and it was diffused cytoplasmic type with occasional perinuclear staining particularly in the cytoplasmic membrane. However, in haemangiosarcoma the COX-2 immunoreactivity was noticed in epithelial as well as connective tissue stroma. In conclusion, it may be stated that urinary bladders of slaughtered buffaloes showed a number of epithelial abnormalities, inflammatory conditions and occasionally neoplasms. Further studies to explore the infectious as well as non-infectious etiologies should be undertaken.

IRMANDADES DE SANTOS PRETOS NO JULGADO DE NATIVIDADE – ANTIGO NORTE DE GOIÁS DOS SÉCULOS XVIII E XIX: CONVIVER, ORAR, RESISTIR...
Authors: Bonfim Wátila Misla Fernandes , Ribeiro Josicleia Sousa
Published: June 2023

Nos séculos XVII e XVIII, o sertão do norte da capitania de Goiás, atual Estado do Tocantins, foi devassado por sertanistas, missionários e criadores de gado vindos da atual região Nordeste, especialmente do sul de Pernambuco, Bahia e Piauí e, por fim, pelas levas de aventureiros em busca de descobrirem minas auríferas. As minas de Natividade foram encontradas e exploradas a partir de 1734, pela expedição do bandeirante Antônio Ferraz de Araújo. Natividade, teve no período colonial 5 templos religiosos, ligados às irmandades: Nossa Senhora da Natividade, Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos, Nossa Senhora do Terço, São Benedito e a capela rural de Nosso Senhor do Bomfim. A presente pesquisa busca descortinar a presença das irmandades de santos pretos no julgado de Natividade, tais como Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos e São Benedito, e as estratégias utilizadas pelos escravos e forros dentro destas confrarias. Através da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental em inventários e testamentos do recorte entre 1797-1850, percebeu-se a importância destes espaços na construção da identidade dos povos africanos e seus descendentes nas minas brasileiras do antigo norte de Goiás.

Authors: Padiwan Adonis Angelo , Torres Agnes , Padiwan Ernest
Published: June 2023

Flexible learning modalities are implemented by learning institutions to address the challenges of pandemic, war, flood, heavy traffic, unbearable temperature and other extreme situations and to continue educating the learners. The study assessed the implementation of flexible learning modality among ISPSC Tagudin Campus students by identifying the challenges towards financial and psychological aspects including academic performances. The researchers used the descriptive research design and an online survey questionnaire was administered as the primary data gathering tool to 249 College of Arts and Sciences students as respondents. The collected data were subjected to simple statistical analysis such as frequency count, percentage, mean and Pearson Product Moment Coefficient Correlation (Pearson r). The researchers found out that the respondents were mostly young adults who belong to poor households and were residing in rural areas; they faced minor challenges in their online and modular distance learning and their financial, psychological, and academic performances were affected in the utilization of flexible learning modalities. Social class has a significant correlation on the challenges of using flexible learning modalities. Students are encouraged to consistently develop and maintain academic motivation while using the flexible learning modality (modular instruction, face-to-face learning delivery and online instruction). Despite adverse conditions being experienced, the college administration should provide ways and means to alleviate the financial difficulties of students through the provision of stable internet connection in school and the provision of online or printed learning materials to facilitate a healthy and conducive learning environment while on their online classes.
Cooling Effect of Different Irrigation Methods in the Growth Stages of Chili Pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.)
Authors: Lictawa Glaizalyn , Malamug Vitaliana
Published: June 2023

Sufficient application of water contributes to cooling of the soil and plant surroundings. In such context, this study investigated the cooling effect of different irrigation methods, using chili pepper as test crop, in its growth and yield performance. Drip, sprinkler, and furrow irrigation methods, applied at 7 a.m., 10 a.m., and 4 p.m. were evaluated. The cooling effect of irrigation method was evaluated in terms of canopy and soil temperature reduction. In addition, the plant growth and yield performance were also measured and analyzed. The canopy temperature reduction of 2.40 ºC, 2.21 ºC, and 1.88 ºC during the vegetative, flowering, and fruiting stages, respectively were obtained when water is applied at 4:00 p.m. using the sprinkler method. The significant reduction in canopy temperature which caused cooling effect by irrigation was attributed to the increased evaporation and relative humidity. Highest soil temperature reduction was achieved at 0.56 ?C using furrow irrigation. The significant change in furrow irrigation was caused by increased evaporation from the soil surface and the changes in the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the soil. Plant height increase was highest using sprinkler irrigation which grew as high as 66.07 cm before the harvesting period. Stem diameter was bigger in furrow irrigated plants having a mean of 11.55 cm during the fruiting stage. Fruit yield was significantly highest (8.56 tons/ha) in sprinkler irrigation at 4:00 p.m. These results indicated that the cooling effect of irrigation contributes to growth and yield performance of chili pepper by delivering water through sprinkler irrigation method in the afternoon. These reported findings have practical implications for farm adaptation especially in high temperature environments. Finally, studies should be conducted by experimenting on crops belonging to different family to establish comparison.

Employees are an important element that determines the progress of an organization or company. The success of the company is very dependent on the performance of its employees. Therefore, companies must create human resources capable of producing optimal performance. Research seeks to reveal the performance of employees of a company which is determined by several factors, including job satisfaction, work motivation and work discipline. This study aims to determine the effect of job satisfaction, work motivation and work discipline on the performance of employees of a company. This research is a quantitative research. This research was conducted at PT. Borwita Citra Prima Surabaya with a sample of 80 respondents. The research instrument used a questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1-6. This study shows that job satisfaction, work motivation, and work discipline simultaneously affect employee performance. The three independent variables together are able to influence the dependent variable. If an agency can provide job satisfaction supported by good work motivation and work discipline, then all three will affect employee performance together. Thus job satisfaction with the support of work motivation and good work discipline will affect employee performance.

Authors: BAŞKENT Emin
Published: June 2023

Biyoekonomi, yenilenebilir doğal kaynakların optimal kullanımı için daha az girdi, daha az çevresel etki ve azaltılmış sera gazı emisyonları ile daha fazla gıda, lif ve diğer organik-temelli ürünler üretebilen sürdürülebilir doğal kaynak yönetimine dayanır. Ormancılık sektörünün asli politikası olan sürdürülebilir ormancılık yönetiminin de temel araçlarındandır. Bu makalede Biyoekonomi kavramı ele alınmış ve bu kapsamda yapılan çalışmalar ile ormancılık sektörüne katkıları sürdürülebilir orman yönetimi açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Geleneksel üret-tüket-at ekonomik modelin yerini alan döngüsel ekonomi modeli ormancılık sektöründe Biyoekonomi kavramı ile yer bulmuştur. Ormanların sürdürülebilir yönetimi; ekosistem hizmetlerinin bütüncül olarak topluma sunulması, yenilebilir kaynaklara ağırlık verilmesi, odun hammaddesinden yenilikçi ve katma değeri yüksek ürünlerin üretilmesi, sürdürülebilir şehirlerin kurulması, iklim değişikliği ile mücadelede fosil tabanlı ürünlerin yerine temiz ve yenilebilir enerji ve ürünlerin kullanılması Biyoekonominin önemli unsurlarıdır. Ekoloji ile ekonomiyi ustaca birleştirerek, orman ekosistemlerinin sürdürülebilir yönetimine akıllı, etkili ve sorumlu bir çözüm sunarak ormancılık sektörüne yeni bir eksen kazandırmıştır. Biyoekonomiye geçiş sürecinin hızlanması için; orman ekosistemlerinin genişletilmesi, mevcutlarının korunarak rehabilitasyonu, sürdürülebilir yönetimi, yenilikçi ürün, hizmet ve süreçler konusunda tüketicilerin bilinçlendirilmesi, yeni ormancılık politika, strateji ve yasal enstrümanlarının geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Kaynakların sorumsuz ve aşırı kullanımını önlemek ve aynı zamanda sürdürülebilir orman yönetimine geçişi kolaylaştırmak için Biyoekonomik tedbirlerin alınması bir çıkış yolu olarak görülmektedir.

New technologies have the potential to transform urban mobility. Among the contributions, providing timely information to drivers via, e.g., apps, is proving valuable. However, providing the same information to nearly everyone is counterproductive. In this paper we extend previous works in which vehicles and the road infrastructure exchange information to allow drivers to make better informed decisions when using reinforcement learning. Here, we use non-local information to augment the knowledge elements of the infrastructure have. Moreover, we connect these elements when they have similar patterns related to multiple attributes, including emission of gases. Our results show that using augmented information leads to more efficiency.

Terminology work requires a lot of data processing in the practical research of comparative linguistics, especially when studying linguistic and terminological changes over time. The lack of appropriate wide-usage electronic tools and databases can slow down such research. Thus, an efficient information management solution is necessary to improve the efficiency of terminology and comparative linguistic research.
Since 2021, a team of terminologists, translators, researchers, and information system developers worked together for two years, during which the open access interactive multifunctional database management system (IMDS) was designed and developed for data storage and a wide range of statistical and search options, especially for language research purposes and comparative multilingual studies in linguistics and terminology.
The information system consists of multiple modules (input, statistics, export, etc.). The data input module was successfully designed and developed and has been used effectively by researchers for entering and collecting special lexis units.
The article mainly describes the statistical data that can be obtained from the IMDS, as well as problems encountered during the development of the system. The IMDS data collection has been updated with 50,846 entries of scientific (Latin) organism names, 60,585 entries of local names of different organisms (mainly in Latvian, but also in other languages), 1427 entries of names of organism-caused diseases, 2942 entries of dictionary words and 313 entries of terms with definitions collected based on excerpts from different publications containing common names linked with their scientific names.
Latvian environmental term purvs: Problems and solutions in Latvian-English-Latvian translations of helonyms
Authors: Ozola-Ozoliņa Linda , Sviķe Silga
Published: June 2023

When translating helonyms from Latvian to English, translators encounter several terms with synonymic meanings that can be used as equivalents of the Latvian term purvs, although they specify the type of wetland more accurately: for example, bog, fen, marsh, mire, and swamp. As natural environments may vary significantly among different geographical locations, a wetland habitat found in one region may not exist in another. Currently, there is no comprehensive classification system that encompasses all types of wetlands around the world; and therefore, the equivalence of wetland names in the environmental terminology among various languages is often unclear. The present paper investigates whether the English translations of Latvian helonyms and the Latvian translations of the United States (US) helonyms are accurate and consistent regarding the available wetland terminology in each language. A total of 21 helonyms are analysed in the study but 4 are presented in the paper: Raganu purvs, Platenes purvs, Manchac Swamp and Suisun Marsh.
The method of data collection used in the paper is term excerption, and the methods used for data analysis are contrastive and qualitative. The sources for excerpted terms referring to Latvian and the US helonyms are online tourism websites in both Latvian and English. The precision of the translation of helonyms and the type of wetland habitat were verified using the websites of the Nature Conservation Agencies of both countries and other texts related to the environment. The results suggest that when translating helonyms from Latvian to English, it is necessary to know the specific type of wetland habitat to be able to choose the appropriate English language term. In translations of helonyms from English into Latvian, the most frequently used word is the superordinate term purvs.
Perspective Chapter: The ProtekDuo® Cannula for Acute Mechanical Circulatory Support
Authors: M. Brewer Joseph , Sharif Ammar , O. Maybauer Marc
Published: June 2023

The ProtekDuo® is a dual lumen cannula that can be used in numerous configurations to treat cardiogenic shock and hypotension. Its default function is as a temporary percutaneous right ventricular assist device (RVAD) system, however, other configurations both alone and with other mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have evolved. In addition to its use as a component of a ventricular assist device (VAD), it can be used as a cannula for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and may serve as double lumen drainage cannula on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The role of the cannula in ECMO has been described in multiple configurations including traditional veno-pulmonary (V-P) or “oxygenated RVAD” (oxyRVAD), veno-venopulmonary (V-VP), or venopulmonary-arterial (VP-A). This book chapter summarizes various configurations and technical aspects of the ProtekDuo(R) cannula in the management of hypotension and cardiogenic shock.
