Published: August 2017

Objetiva-se identificar o uso de PIC entre adultos portadores do vírus da imunodeficiência humana. Mediante estudo transversal, analítico e descritivo foi verificado o perfil de 200 pacientes adultos infectados por HIV e identificadas possíveis associações entre fatores socioeconômicos e utilização de PIC. A prevalência de PIC foi de 78,5% (n=157) e as categorias mais relatadas foram: oração a Deus 57,5% (n=115); uso de remédios populares 21,5% (n=43); procura a benzedeiras 14,5% (n=29) e uso de homeopatia 12,5% (n=25). Associações significativas foram encontradas com o uso de PIC e cor (p=0,000); escolaridade (p=0,000); estado conjugal (p=0,003); religião (p=0,000) e renda mensal familiar (p=0,000). Constatou-se ainda que há associação estatisticamente significante entre algumas variáveis demográficas investigadas e uso de práticas integrativas complementares.
A HIPERTENSÃO ARTERIAL SISTÊMICA A PARTIR DA PERSPECTIVA DO SUJEITO: ANÁLISE DE NARRATIVAS SOBRE A EXPERIÊNCIA DA ENFERMIDADE E DOS SIGNIFICADOS DO TRATAMENTO DIETÉTICO
Authors: Palácio Maria Augusta Vanconcelos , Freitas Maria do Carmo Soares
Published: August 2017

Objetiva-se analisar os significados do processo de adoecimento e do tratamento dietético atribuído a portadores de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica, atendidos por uma equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) na zona urbana no município de Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará. O estudo de abordagem qualitativa entrevistou portadores de hipertensão e profissionais de saúde. A análise das narrativas foi fundamentada pela hermenêutica descrita por Paul Ricoeur, em que o contexto sociocultural associado à enfermidade é impregnado de sentidos. Os resultados foram apresentados em três capítulos que abordaram a experiência do sujeito com a enfermidade e o itinerário terapêutico; o tratamento dietético; o cuidado em saúde para os adoecidos de HAS. A subjetividade presente nesses assuntos é revelada nas falas e na semiótica, oferecendo múltiplas possibilidades de interpretação. Os aspectos socioculturais e econômicos que redefinem práticas de comensalidade dos sujeitos interferem na aceitação do tratamento dietético na medida em que a restrição do sal da comida dá outros significados à vida. Trata-se de um estudo relevante, pois abre espaços para diversas acepções do sujeito que vivencia o problema da hipertensão e contribui para a discussãosobre o cuidado em saúde integral no contexto do atendimento da ESF.
ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS PRÁTICAS DE VIGILÂNCIA EM SAÚDE EM UM SISTEMA LOCAL
Authors: Silva Gerluce Alves Pontes da , Silva Ligia Maria Vieira da
Published: August 2017

Com o objetivo de caracterizar as práticas de vigilância em município do estado da Bahia em grau avançado de gestão descentralizada, foi realizado estudo de caso com níveisde análise imbricados. As informações foram obtidas em 35 entrevistas, observação e análise documental. As práticas de vigilância foram comparadas a uma tipologia previamente elaborada. Constatou-se que, apesar de presente no discurso e em documentos oficiais, as práticas não correspondiam ao modo tecnológico da vigilância da saúde. Ocorreu ampliação do acesso aos serviços de saúde e estruturação das ações de caráter coletivo; essas modificações, entretanto, não foram suficientes para caracterizar uma mudança no modelo assistencial. Os objetos das práticas corresponderam às prioridades do nível federal e os meios de trabalho resumiram-se às normas técnicas dos programas. Intervenções que extrapolassem o uso de tecnologias médico-sanitárias foram implementadas de forma pontual. Concluiu-se que o modelo dominante no município estudado foi classificado como aquele da vigilância epidemiológica tradicional.

A Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) reorganiza o modelo assistencial do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) desde a atenção básica, garantindo ações individuais e coletivas de promoção, proteção e reabilitação da saúde a integralidade da atenção e a responsabilidade da equipe da saúde sobre a população em seu território de referência. Trata-se de estudo ecológico com o objetivo de detectar as internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária (CSAP) em idosos na cidade de Caxias do Sul (RS), de 2000 a 2003 (antes da implantação da ESF) e 2005 a 2007 (depois da implantação da ESF). Como base de dados foram utilizados o Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS e as estimativas da população residente fornecidas pelo IBGE e disponibilizadas pelo DATASUS. A tabulação dos dados foi realizada pelo programa TabWin. As variáveis estudadas foram os Coeficientes de internação por CSAP, faixa etária, sexo, período; para o ano de 2007, incluiu-se também o local (município vs. estado). Observou-se redução dos coeficientes e percentuais de internação por CSAP no município, em ambos os sexos e em todas as faixas etárias exceto em homens maiores de 80 anos. Os coeficientes em 2007 foram menores no município que no estado. Concluiu-se que a ESF pode ter contribuído para a redução observada.

Published: August 2017

O agente comunitário de saúde é um profissional que desenvolve seu trabalho junto a uma equipe multiprofissional de saúde, sendo reconhecido como elo de ligação entre esta equipe e a comunidade a qual ele assiste. Este estudo teve o objetivo de demonstrar através da aplicação de uma intervenção junto aos agentes comunitários de uma unidade básica de saúde de Vitória (ES) a interrelação destes com os demais profissionais da equipe de saúde e o território de atuação dessa. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo socioanalítico de inspiração cartográfica, tendo como sujeitos treze agentes comunitários de saúde. O trabalho de campo foi realizado utilizando ferramentas como entrevistas semiestruturadase observação ao longo do processo, registrado em um diário de campo. Os dados foram categorizados em linhas fortes e fracas de maneira a tornar manifesto o jogo de forças, os desejos e os interesses daquele grupo investigado. Como resultados observamos a constituição como linhas fortes que envolvem o elo, acesso livre e aprendizagem com a equipe e comunidade. Como linhas fracas destacamos, entre outras, as questões identitárias da profissão e a violência advinda do narcotráfico. Portanto, através do processo autoanalítico e dos resultados apresentados em assembleia, os sujeitos do estudo, concluíram que além de dar mais potência à identidade profissional que seria importante buscar a partir de então a participação dos mesmos sob forma de cogestão deles e demais membros da equipe no processo de agir em saúde, desconfigurando o processo de heterogestão dominante.

Esta revisão teve por objetivo analisar estudos publicados no período compreendido entre os anos de 2007 a 2013, atualizando as informações sobre os métodos e efeitos do treinamento de força em populações portadoras do HIV, propondo recomendações para a atuação de pesquisadores e profissionais da saúde. Foram observados os resultados nos níveis de força, imunológicos e morfológicos. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Scopus e SPORTDiscus. Após a pesquisa e leitura dos títulos e resumo das publicações, foram selecionados para leitura, análise e discussões intra e intergrupos de revisores, um total de 19 artigos. Destes, 9 foram excluídos, pois não estavam de acordo com os critérios de inclusão. Os outros 10 foram analisados e aprovados por ambos os grupos de revisores que extraíram seus dados para discussão. Com base nos estudos mais recentes sobre o treinamento de força prescrito para adultos infectados pelo HIV, pode‑se afirmar que essa modalidade de exercício físico é capaz de promover aumento nos níveis de força, aumento da massa magra, redução da massa gorda, melhor distribuição da gordura corporal e melhorias no sistema imune inato e adquirido.

Sobre la conformación de un género y de un clásico: avatares en la edición de literatura infantil y juvenil argentina
Authors: Vulponi Adriana
Published: August 2017

ResumenLa conformación de la literatura infantil y juvenil (LIJ) en la Argentina manifiesta una creciente visibilidad. En su reciente historia, nos detenemos en la edición y su relevancia. La edición del libro infantil y juvenil en la Argentina está ligada a muchos tipos de acciones y decisiones, como también, a diferentes espacios y actores incluso del exterior-. Sucesos y factores multi-causales condujeron a la edición del género LIJ, de géneros dentro del género y a la legitimación de ciertos libros como clásicos-aunque no hayan transcurrido muchas décadas-.Con géneros del género nos referimos aquí a la clasificación de un libro editado como infantil o como juvenil, aunque hay muchos más. Veremos algunos casos en su gestación para vislumbrar los carriles y las redes por donde han sucedido las decisiones de su nacimiento. De igual manera, la conformación de algunos clásicos de la LIJ argentina tanto de libros como de autores manifiesta un desarrollo particular cada uno en su trayectoria que ha instalado tal creencia y su ubicación en el estante de la biblioteca con esa catalogación.AbstractThe building of children and teen´s literature in Argentina shows an increasing visibility. Within its short history, we are going to focus our efforts in the edition process and its importance. The edition of a book for children and teens in Argentina is a conglomeration of different types of actions, decisions, places and agents, even foreign. Several multi-causal events and factors led the way towards the development of the children and teen´s literature as a genre, genres within a genre, and towards the legitimation of some books, regarding them as classics, albeit being short-lived.Genres within a genre serves to classification purposes, as children´s and teen´s are not the only means of naming inside this genre. We are going to analyze the genesis of some cases to comprehend the rails and webs through which it was created. The hatching of books and authors as classics shows a particular development: because of their trajectory, they have installed the belief of them as such and thus secured their place on the library´s shelves with that cataloging.Key words: Children and Teen´s Literature, Genre, Classics, Argentina.
Entre el instinto y la razón: comentarios sobre la ética y estéticas de un saqueo
Authors: Olmos Rebellato Franco
Published: August 2017

ResumenEste artículo se propone un acercamiento a los conceptos de Hinkelammert, Rebellato y Lechner a través del análisis del documental La Hora del Lobo de Natalia Ferreyra; el film reconstruye los hechos del 3 y 4 de diciembre durante el acuartelamiento policial en Córdoba a partir del testimonio de cuatro jóvenes. Asimismo, los testimonios de este documental servirán para ilustrar unas reflexiones donde se propone: i) reconstruir las ideas de Lechner sobre la conformación de una cultura del miedo, entendida, como producto de las dictaduras militares; ii) señalar las características que adquiere el despliegue de una ética, en este caso neoliberal, que encuentra una especie de fascinación por el orden (Rebellato, 1995); iii) articular ambos procesos mediante la conceptualización que realiza Hinkelammert de la idea de asesinato fundante universal; y iv) realizar unas reflexiones finales que permitan articular los conceptos ya mencionados con la tradición crítica de la Escuela de Frankfurt, principalmente las categorías conceptuales propuestas por H. Marcuse en Un ensayo sobre la liberación.AbstractThis article proposes an approach to the concepts of Hinkelammert, Rebellato and Lechner through the analysis of the documentary "The Hour of the Wolf", directed by Natalia Ferreyra, which reconstructs the events of 3rd and 4th december when the provincial police force went on strike, based on the testimony of four young people. In addition, the testimonies of this documentary will serve to illustrate a few thoughts of where it is proposed: i) to reconstruct the reflections of Lechner on the formation of a "culture of fear", understood as a product of the military dictatorships; ii) point out the features that acquires the deployment of an ethic, neo-liberal in this case, which find a kind of "fascination with the order" (Rebellato, 1995); iii) articulate both processes through Hinkelammerts conceptualization of the idea of "universal foundational murder; and iv) carry out some final reflections to articulate the concepts already mentioned with the critical tradition of the Frankfurt School, mainly the categories proposed by H. Marcuse in An Essay on Liberation.Key words: Culture of fear, neoliberal ethic, sacrifice, universal foundational murder, order.

Published: August 2017

OBJECTIVE

To assess, in a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial, the efficacy and safety of diacerein, an immune modulator anti-inflammatory drug, in improving glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Eighty-four patients with HbA1c between 7.5 and 9.5% (58–80 mmol/mol) were randomized to 48-week treatment with placebo (n = 41) or diacerein 100 mg/day (n = 43). The primary outcome was the difference in mean HbA1c changes during treatment. Secondary outcomes were other efficacy and safety measurements. A general linear regression with repeated measures, adjusted for age, sex, diabetes duration, and each baseline value, was used to estimate differences in mean changes. Both intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and per-protocol analysis (excluding 10 patients who interrupted treatment) were performed.

RESULTS

Diacerein reduced HbA1c compared with placebo by 0.35% (3.8 mmol/mol; P = 0.038) in the ITT analysis and by 0.41% (4.5 mmol/mol; P = 0.023) in the per-protocol analysis. The peak of effect occurred at the 24th week of treatment (−0.61% [6.7 mmol/mol; P = 0.014] and −0.78% [8.5 mmol/mol; P = 0.005], respectively), but it attenuated toward nonsignificant differences at the 48th week. No significant effect of diacerein was observed in other efficacy and safety measures. Diarrhea occurred in 65% of patients receiving diacerein and caused treatment interruption in 16%. Seven patients in the diacerein group reduced insulin dosage, whereas 10 in the placebo group increased it; however, mild hypoglycemic events were equally observed.

CONCLUSIONS

Diacerein reduced mean HbA1c levels, with peak of effect at the 24th week of treatment. The drug was well tolerated and may be indicated as adjunct treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes, particularly in those with osteoarthritis.

Lenin e o “taylorismo soviético”: uma abordagem crítica
Authors: Lazagna Angela
Published: August 2017

O artigo analisa o lugar privilegiado que o Sistema Taylor ocupa no pensamento de Vladimir I. Lenin. O movimento taylorista, identificado com o movimento de organização do trabalho, pode ser definido como um conjunto de técnicas que, aplicadas ao processo produtivo, busca reduzir o trabalho a um ciclo de gestos repetitivos através da aceleração do seu ritmo, a fim de suprimir os “poros” da jornada de trabalho (“poros” que traduzem as características antagônicas do processo de produção capitalista). Lenin, ao atribuir ao taylorismo um papel contraditório (aspectos “positivos” e “negativos”) no aumento da produtividade, defende a sua aplicabilidade à Rússia pós-revolucionária, através de um processo de adaptação sob o controle da ditadura do proletariado.
O legado histórico da Revolução de Outubro
Authors: Mandel David
Published: August 2017

Hoje, o legado histórico da Revolução de Outubro é profundamente ambíguo, mas um elemento claramente se destaca: Outubro fornece o exemplo de um partido que teve a coragem e a desenvoltura para proporcionar aos trabalhadores da Rússia a liderança que eles precisavam e queriam a fim de salvar da derrota a revolução que começou em fevereiro de 1917. A Revolução de Outubro não foi um salto quiliasta na utopia, como é muitas vezes foi retratado. Foi, de fato, uma decisão difícil, adotada depois de muita hesitação e pesagem das alternativas. Os que realizaram a Revolução de Outubro fizeram-no em plena consciência das probabilidades temíveis que enfrentavam. Mas eles também sabiam que não agir significaria a derrota certa e renovada escravização do povo pelas classes privilegiadas. Hoje, quando a humanidade mais do que nunca é confrontada com a dura escolha de “socialismo ou barbárie”, as forças progressistas podem procurar inspiração para seu pensamento estratégico na coragem e na determinação dos Revolucionários de Outubro de 1917.

Evaluation of scab disease resistance and production on sweet potato cultivars. This study was aimed to determine the resistance of local sweet potato cultivars to scab disease in West Papua and the cultivar production. Research was carried out for 6.5 months starting in April 2014. Evaluation of resistance of local sweet potato cultivars and production was designed using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment consists of six local cultivars, namely Mouwebsi, Kuyage-2, Bonsasarai, Inanwatan-4, Wonembai, and Abomourow. There was no inoculation treatment on the field because Papua was endemic region to the scab disease. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by DMRT test at level of 95%. Cultivars tested had different responses to the long tendrils of parameters and number of branches. The intensity of the disease in Bonsasarai cultivars was 31.7% (moderately resistant), while in Mouwebsi was 13.75%, Wonembai 8.33%, Kuyage-2 0.42%, Abomourow and Inanwatan-4, 0% categorized as resistant cultivars. The tuber weight of Abomourow (4.55 ton/ha) was higher than that of Mouwebsi (3.80 ton/ha), Wonembai (3.62 ton/ha), Bonsasarai (2.28 ton/ha), and Inanwatan-4 (1.12 ton/ha).

Isolation method of Pyricularia oryzae the causal agent of rice blast disease. Rice blast disease is a disease that reduces rice productivity and threatens global food reserves. The study of diversity and distribution of race fungal causing rice blast disease required a fungal isolates collection from different places and times. One of the challenges in collecting these fungi is the difficulty of isolation process. The purpose of this research was to study the proper isolation method of rice blast pathogen. The most appropriate isolation method of Pyricularia oryzae was to moisten the infected panicle, place on moist filter paper in a petri dish, and incubate plate for 2 days at room temperature under fluorescent lamp. Afterward, conidium was picked using sterile needle and transfered to potato dextrose agar without lactic acid.

Published: August 2017

Molecular discovery seeks to generate chemical species tailored to very specific needs. In this paper, we present ORGANIC, a framework based on Objective-Reinforced Generative Adversarial Networks (ORGAN), capable of producing a distribution over molecular space that matches with a certain set of desirable metrics. This methodology combines two successful techniques from the machine learning community: a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), to create non-repetitive sensible molecular species, and Reinforcement Learning (RL), to bias this generative distribution towards certain attributes. We explore several applications, from optimization of random physicochemical properties to candidates for drug discovery and organic photovoltaic material design.
Use of Microsimulation to Evaluate Signal-Phasing Schemes at Diverging Diamond Interchanges
Authors: Warchol Shannon , Chase Thomas , Cunningham Christopher
Published: August 2017

Even though diverging diamond interchanges (DDIs) have been the subject of research for more than a decade, the effort to standardize interchange signal timing has developed only recently. A three-factor fully crossed experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of crossover spacing and increased volumes on the performance of DDI phasing schemes. PTV Vistro software and the dynamic bandwidth assessment tool were used to optimize the split, cycle length, and offset of each of the 72 treatments. PTV Vissim software was used to collect microsimulation data. Mean interchange delay and mean stops per vehicle were selected as measures of effectiveness. Pairwise comparisons were used to determine whether an existing preferred phasing scheme could minimize delays or stops under three cases: ( a) given spacing and increased volume, ( b) given volume independent of spacing, and ( c) given spacing independent of increased volume. The data revealed that a two- or three-critical-movement phasing scheme usually resulted in the lowest mean interchange delay and the fewest stops. Overall, the results provide an initial signal timing scheme for practitioners given a crossover spacing, an increased volume, or both. Future work will include exploring low volumes, balanced interchange volumes, and their effects on the four-critical-movement phasing scheme, as well as the effect of closely spaced adjacent intersections.

Recent studies have proposed the use of person-based frameworks for the optimization of traffic signal timing to minimize the total passenger delay experienced by passenger cars and buses at signalized intersections. The efficiency and applicability of existing efforts, however, have been limited by an assumption of fixed cycle lengths and deterministic bus arrival times. An existing algorithm for person-based optimization of signal timing for isolated intersections was extended to accommodate flexible cycle lengths and uncertain bus arrival times. To accommodate flexible cycle lengths, the mathematical program was redefined to minimize total passenger delay within a fixed planning horizon that allowed cycle lengths to vary within a feasible range. Two strategies were proposed to accommodate uncertain bus arrival times: ( a) a robust optimization approach that conservatively minimized delays experienced in a worst-case scenario and ( b) a blended strategy that combined deterministic optimization and rule-based green extensions. The proposed strategies were tested with numerical simulations of an intersection in State College, Pennsylvania. Results revealed that the flexible cycle length algorithm could significantly reduce bus passenger delay and total passenger delay, with negligible increases in car passenger delay. These results were robust to changes in both bus and car flows. For bus arrival times, the robust optimization strategy seemed to be more effective at low levels of uncertainty and the blended strategy at higher levels of uncertainty. The anticipated benefits decreased with increases in the intersection flow ratio because of the lower flexibility of signal timing at the intersection.

Signal offset optimization recently has been shown to be feasible with vehicle trajectory data at low levels of market penetration. Offset optimization was performed on two corridors with that type of data. A proposed procedure called “virtual detection” was used to process 6 weeks of trajectory splines and create vehicle arrival profiles for two corridors, comprising 25 signalized intersections. After data were processed and filtered, penetration rates between 0.09% and 0.80% were observed, with variations by approach. Then those arrival profiles were compared statistically with those measured with physical detectors, and most approaches showed statistically significant goodness of fit at a 90% confidence level. Finally, the arrival profiles created with virtual detection were used to optimize offsets and compared with a solution derived from arrival profiles obtained with physical detectors. Results demonstrate that virtual detection can produce good-quality offsets with current market penetration rates of probe data. In addition, a sensitivity analysis of the sampling period indicated that 2 weeks may be sufficient for data collection at current penetration rates.
Investigation of Self-Organizing Traffic Signal Control with Graphical Signal Performance Measures
Authors: Day Christopher M. , Bullock Darcy M.
Published: August 2017

Adaptive signal control is the subject of an increasing amount of research, development, and implementation. Most existing adaptive control systems achieve coordination by applying system control as a constraining layer on top of local control. Some researchers have suggested that, with the right local control logic, coordination might be achieved as a dynamically emergent phenomenon without the need for a management layer. This paper describes how the potential of a self-organizing signal control algorithm was explored with various performance measures. First, the initially reported algorithm performance was reproduced in an idealized environment; next, the algorithm was applied in a realistic road network to compare its performance with that of actuated coordinated control, with and without pedestrian phases. Comparisons were made under ( a) the same base volumes used to design the actuated coordinated timing plan and ( b) variant volumes. Self-organizing control was found to be more flexible than coordinated control and induced a performance trade-off between movement types. Delay reductions of 38% to 56% were observed in an environment with no pedestrian phase. However, with pedestrian phases in recall, self-organizing control performed worse (39% increase in delay) under base volumes and achieved a weak benefit (6% reduction in delay) under variant volumes. Because of the large total delay reductions in some scenarios, the results show promise for future development.

Published: August 2017

This paper presents an experimental investigation on double-lap joints of grit-blasted surface finish fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) splice plates bonded and bolted to FRP laminates. Eighteen coupon joint specimens were tested under tensile loading with varying types of FRP splice plates and FRP laminates. Four types of bolts were evaluated: FRP bolts, high corrosion-resistant steel (HCRS) bolts, stainless steel (SS) bolts, and SS bolts wrapped with glass FRP (GFRP) (referred to as “SF” bolts). The test results indicated that double-lap splice joints, which incorporated HCRS bolts, epoxy adhesive, and grit-blasted surface finish FRP splice plates, provided strong bonds with FRP laminates. The grit-blasted surface finish of the FRP splice plates and the epoxy adhesive contributed to improving joint stiffness and strength. The specimens with FRP bolts showed brittle behavior and failed at relatively low ultimate load. The failures of those specimens were debonding of epoxy layers followed by shearing of the FRP bolts. The specimens with steel bolts (i.e., HCRS, SS, and SF bolts), however, exhibited ductile behavior and failed at a much higher ultimate load than did the FRP bolt specimens. Typical failure modes of the steel bolt specimens were fracturing of the FRP laminate (resulting from fiber rupture or kink, shear-out, and delamination failure of the GFRP plies and bearing failure of FRP materials near the edge of bolt holes in the load direction), bearing failure of the FRP splice plates, epoxy debonding, and yielding of bolts. Although FRP wraps may enhance the durability of the SS bolts, the use of SF bolts may significantly affect the failure mode of the splice joints.

Railway bridges are critical in the transportation network and vital to the profitability of the industry. Thousands of U.S. bridge spans of more than 50 years of age are still in service. Transportation Technology Center, Inc.’s current work under the Association of American Railroads Strategic Research Initiatives Program on bridge life extension focuses on the effects of increased axle loads, on extending the safe service life of existing steel bridge spans, and on onboard inspection of bridge structural integrity. The program includes various tests at the Bridge Deflection Test Facility (BDTF) at the Transportation Technology Center, Pueblo, Colorado, as well as vehicle–track–bridge interaction modeling. This paper presents simulation and test results of a freight car and locomotive running on a railway bridge located at the BDTF. Simulation and test results of an onboard system installed on an instrumented freight car indicated that it is a useful tool for identifying some bridge condition issues. The BDTF provides adjustable bridge strength and geometry conditions. Various tests were conducted on the BDTF to investigate the potential for using onboard technology to detect bridge impairment or changes in bridge behavior. Test results were used to validate the NUCARS three-layer track model of the BDTF. Experimental and analytical case studies were conducted to develop onboard systems for dynamic inspection of bridges under varying loads.

OBJECTIVE

Malignant meningioma is rare and classified as Grade III in the WHO classification of CNS tumors. However, the presence of estrogen receptor (ER) in WHO Grade III meningiomas and its correlation with patients’ outcomes are still unclear. In this single-center cohort study, the authors analyzed clinical features, treatment, and prognosis of these malignant tumors in patients with long-term follow-up.

METHODS

A total of 87 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with WHO Grade III meningiomas between 2003 and 2008 were enrolled in this study and followed for at least 7 years. Clinical information was collected to analyze the factors determining the prognosis.

RESULTS

Twelve patients with rhabdoid, 12 with papillary, and 63 with anaplastic meningioma were included. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 56.2 ± 49.8 months and 68.7 ± 47.4 months, respectively. No significant differences were observed among the 3 histological subtypes in either PFS (p = 0.929) or OS (p = 0.688). Patients who received gross-total resection had a longer PFS (p = 0.001) and OS (p = 0.027) than those who received subtotal resection. Adjuvant radiotherapy was associated with OS (p = 0.034) but not PFS (p = 0.433). Compared with primary meningiomas, patients with recurrent disease had worse PFS (p < 0.001). For patients who had malignant transformations, the prognosis was poorer than for patients without malignant transformations for both PFS (p = 0.002) and OS (p = 0.019). ER-positive patients had a significantly worse prognosis than ER-negative patients regarding both PFS (p = 0.003) and OS (p < 0.001), whereas no association between progesterone receptor and patients’ outcomes was observed. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that ER expression was an independent prognostic factor for both PFS (p = 0.008) and OS (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

This retrospective study showed that patients with meningioma with ER-positive expression had a much worse prognosis than those with ER weak–positive or ER-negative status. The results demonstrated that ER is an independent prognostic factor for both PFS and OS of patients with WHO Grade III meningioma. The authors also found that more radical resection of the tumor, as well as postoperative radiotherapy, may prolong patients’ survival time.
White Matter Degradation is Associated with Reduced Financial Capacity in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease

Financial capacity (FC) is a cognitively complex activity of daily living that declines in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), limiting an individual’s ability to manage one’s finances and function independently. The neural underpinnings of this decline in function are poorly understood but likely involve age-related and disease-related degradation across structural networks. The purpose of the current study was to determine if altered white matter integrity is associated with declining FC in persons with MCI and AD compared to older controls. Individuals with MCI due to AD ( n = 31), mild dementia ( n = 39), and cognitively healthy older adults ( n = 60) were administered a neuropsychological battery including the FC Instrument, a performance-based measure of FC. All 130 participants also underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) upon which tract-based spatial statistics were performed. Both FC and white matter integrity decreased in accordance with disease severity with little to no effect in healthy elderly, significant effects in MCI, and greater effects in AD. Regional white matter degradation (increased diffusivities and decreased fractional anisotropy) was associated with reduced FC in both MCI and AD groups even after controlling for age, education, and gender. Specifically, in MCI, decreased fractional anisotropy, but not increased diffusivities, was associated with poorer FC in widespread cingulo-parietal-frontal and temporo-occipital areas. In AD, rather than anisotropy, increased mean and axial diffusivities in anterior cingulate, callosum, and frontal areas associated with poorer FC. These findings suggest a severity gradient of white matter degradation across DTI metrics and AD stages that predict declining financial skill and knowledge.

Published: August 2017

INTRODUCTION: The effects of repeated centrifugation in association with head-down tilt (HDT) bed rest (BR) on the mediation of basic reflexes associated with the major postural muscles was investigated as a potential countermeasure for maintaining balance control and neuromotor
reflex function.METHODS: There were 15 male volunteers who were exposed to 21 d of 6° HDT-BR. Eight were treated with daily 1-h artificial gravity (AG) exposures aboard a short radius centrifuge that provided 1-g footward loading at heart level. The other seven served as HDT-BR
control subjects. Balance control was assessed using a standard computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) protocol that was modified by adding low-frequency pitch-plane head movements. Neuromotor reflex function was assessed using tendon stretch reflexes (MSR) and functional stretch reflex
(FSR) data collected from the triceps surae muscle group.RESULTS: CDP performance was degraded by HDT-BR in both groups (ranging from 24 to 26%), but was unaffected by AG. BR also degraded MSR and FSR functions in both groups, with increased peak reflex latencies between 1.5 and
1.95 ms, but AG maintained pre-BR latencies for the MSR subjects.DISCUSSION: AG exposure did not modify balance control from pre-BR responses, but did help prevent decrements in FSR latencies post-BR.Paloski WH, Reschke MF, Feiveson AH.
