Introdução: A polineuropatia simétrica distal (PNSD) é umacomplicação frequente e catastrófica da diabetes mellitus, massubdiagnosticada. Os autores colocam a hipótese de o internamento ser uma oportunidade de rastreio da PNSD e pretendemcomparar dois métodos de diagnóstico.Material e Métodos: Estudo prospetivo e multicêntrico,que incluiu doentes diabéticos internados nos serviços de medicina interna de dois hospitais, entre maio e outubro de 2015.Foi aplicada a escala MNSI (Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument) e o teste SWME (Monofilamento de 10 g-SemmesWeinstein exam) para despiste de PNSD. Uma pontuação > 2no exame clínico da MNSI ou ≤ 7 respostas positivas em 10 noteste SWME, foram consideradas diagnósticas de DSPN.Resultados: Foram incluídos 88 pacientes com idade mediana de 77 (13) anos e 45% homens; a maioria com diabetestipo 2 e 7% tinham diagnóstico prévio de PNSD. A prevalênciade PNSD foi de 75% utilizando o MNSI; o teste SWME foi anormal em 38% destes pacientes. A taxa de concordância entre ostestes foi de 44,3%. Dos pacientes, 92,4% com diagnóstico dePNSD no estudo não tinham diagnóstico prévio.Discussão: O número de subdiagnósticos de PNSD nesteestudo é alarmante. A percentagem de casos subdiagnosticadapode representar um problema de registo ou de escassez derastreio.Conclusão: Neste estudo concluímos que a PNSD é altamente prevalente entre os pacientes hospitalizados, mas profundamente subdiagnosticada. A escala MNSI poderá ser uminstrumento adequado para o rastreio, enquanto o teste SWMEnão deve ser utilizada isoladamente para este propósito.

Authors: Graça Carina , Correia Iuri , Gonçalves-Pereira João
Published: December 2019

Os cuidados paliativos visam a implementação de estratégias de forma a otimizar a qualidade de vida dos doentesem fase terminal de vida e das suas famílias. As manifestações clínicas em doentes em fim de vida podem ser difíceis devalorizar. Embora a inflamação possa prevalecer, o estado deimuno-senescência torna a doença infeciosa pauci-sintomáticae diferente do habitual. Adinamia, febre e tosse, são frequentemente interpretadas e medicadas como infeção. Em paralelo,embora a infeção seja comum em fim de vida, a mesma é muitas vezes um marcador de gravidade e não o problema em si.A terapêutica antibiótica, usada habitualmente neste contexto,pode não servir os melhores interesses do doente e contribuirpara o desenvolvimento de microrganismos resistentes, o quetem implicações negativas a nível da comunidade. Neste textodiscutimos os potenciais benefícios e riscos da terapêutica antibiótica nesta população, a qual, no nosso entender, deveráser enquadrada no âmbito da medicina paliativa.

As estatinas estão entre os medicamentos mais prescritos a nível mundial e são geralmente seguros. Recentementefoi caracterizada uma forma rara, mas potencialmente grave,de complicação das estatinas e que pode surgir anos após oinício da medicação – a miopatia necrotizante imunomediada(MNIM) anti-3-hidroxi-3-metilglutaril-coenzima A redutase (antiHMGCR). A propósito de um caso clínico que ilustra a formaclássica de apresentação da MINIM anti-HMGCR, faz-se umarevisão da literatura. Mulher de 67 anos medicada com sinvastatina há 5 anos, apresenta-se com quadro subagudo caracterizado por mialgias e tetraparésia de predomínio proximal,elevação da creatina quinase, padrão miopático no eletromiograma, biópsia muscular compatível com miopatia necrotizantee anticorpos anti-HMGCR. Suspendemos a estatina e instituímos terapêutica imunossupressora, tendo a evolução sidofavorável. A distinção entre a MNIM anti-HMGCR e outrasmiopatias é fundamental, para que o tratamento possa ser instituído atempadamente. Assim, é importante que os clínicosestejam familiarizados com esta doença.

The breast cancer has become a threat to women's lives at an increasing rate. The inadequate treatments of surgical procedures and chemotherapy affect negatively quality of patient life. Therefore, there has been an increase in demand for alternative and supportive agents, especially for the use of herbal products. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the in vitro anti-tumor activity of Lysimachia savranii in breast cancer cell lines compared to normal adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells. The adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells as normal cells with MCF-7 and, MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were cultured. IC50 doses of Lysimachia savranii extract for each cells were determined via MTT assay. The immunocytochemical staining was performed for the oxidative stress by eNOS, whereas apoptosis were analyzed by TUNEL method. The data exhibited with H-score and apoptotic index. The plant extract inhibited the proliferation and survival in the breast cancer cells compared to the stem cells. Lysimachia savranii extract caused the increase of eNOS staining for oxidative stress and the TUNEL labeling for apoptosis. The further molecular techniques should be used to determine the biologic activity of Lysimachia savranii extract and its content should be investigated.

Use of renewable energy increases independence from imported energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, as well as increases security of energy supply. However, energy industry concedes that power becomes more vulnerable because of historical paradigms; independent power base is replaced with production from renewable energy sources. This is due to subsidies in the investment priority being cost-effective renewable resources projects. Thus, it is necessary to develop a solution defining how volatile and unpredictable renewable energy sources integrated into the European electricity market can be, while ensuring safe and uninterrupted power supply.

Investment Treaty Arbitration in Latin America
Authors: Remmer Karen L.
Published: December 2019

This study analyzes variations in the incidence of state involvement in investment treaty arbitration in Latin America and the Caribbean over the 1987–2014 period. Its main contributions are fourfold. First, by focusing on the balance of incentives and opportunities facing political leaders and foreign investors, the study establishes a new basis for understanding the reasons actors opt for the risks and uncertainties of international arbitration instead of resolving international investment disputes via alternative means. Second, by restricting the focus of research to the Latin American region, the study is able to move beyond the analysis of relatively time-invariant structural and institutional conditions and crude indicators to address the role played by the preferences of political actors. Third, by disaggregating disputes by sector of investment, the analysis documents the variable role of ideology and electoral incentives in investment treaty arbitration. Finally, by underlining the distinctiveness of the Latin American experience with investment treaty arbitration, the study offers new insights into the global backlash against investment treaty arbitration, which has gone farther in the region than anywhere else. Overall, the results underline the potential payoffs of breaking down the international experience with investment treaty arbitration into regional patterns to obtain a deeper and more granular understanding of the political economy of investor-state dispute settlement.
Satiric Magazines as Hybrid Alternative Media in Latin America
Authors: Alonso Paul
Published: December 2019

This article explores the cases of two satirical publications—The Clinic(Chile, 1998–) andBarcelona(Argentina, 2003–). Through critical humor, visual subversions, and parody, these independent magazines challenged mainstream journalism and official political discourse, offering alternative interpretations about the ruling class and society after traumatic periods—Pinochet’s military dictatorship in Chile and the 2001 economic crisis in Argentina. Through interviews with the editors and content analysis, this article examines how these satirical publications responded to their respective national contexts by questioning the functioning of power on several levels of society, and how they evolved after they became popular, negotiating their space within the national mediascape. This study also suggests the notion of hybrid alternative media to describe these publications, which became part of a liberating process of collective healing. Initially perceived in opposition to mainstream media in contexts when the press’s credibility had decreased, they filled gaps in their society’s political communication.
Comparative Orientalism in Latin American Revolutions: Antichinismo of Mexico and El Salvador
Authors: Chang Jason Oliver
Published: December 2019

Across Latin America, mestizo nationalism became a common response to postcolonial independence, revolt, and revolution in the twentieth century. These different mixed-race nationalisms have been the subject of continuous debate in Latin American studies. The field of Asian American studies offers a different approach that highlights the political and cultural function of anti-Chinese politics beyond their targeting of racialized Chinese subjects. This article examines the anti-Chinese politics and mestizo nationalisms of Mexico and El Salvador to question if and when popular Orientalist racism aided indigenous and peasant consent to state-sponsored mestizo nationalism. This methodology underscores the historical role that ideological formations of Asia and Asians have contributed to the political and cultural life of race in Latin America even when actual populations remained small or nonexistent. By understanding racial formations in a multiracial context I underscore the notion that anti-Chinese racism is not only important in that it discriminated against Chinese, but also that it served non-Chinese Latin Americans remarkably well and helped build an unstable equilibrium of mestizo hegemony.
Objects and Agency: Science and Technology Studies, Latin American Studies, and Global Histories of Knowledge in the Early Modern World
Authors: Cagle Hugh
Published: December 2019

Drawing from a combination of the author’s own research on Portugal’s empire and recent work across a range of disciplines, this essay discusses the growing dialogue between Latin American studies and science and technology studies (STS). It discusses key similarities and differences in the questions, methods, and theoretical frameworks which have guided research in both areas. It focuses particular attention on the divergent ways in which the two interdisciplinary arenas of scholarship have handled objects and materiality. The author argues that despite important differences in orientation, a focus on objects and materiality informed by STS perspectives can broaden the archive available to scholars of colonial Latin America, challenge and extend critical insights of colonial research, and call into question the adequacy of conventional Latin American and Atlantic spatial frameworks.

Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão integrativa da assistência ao parto humanizado, assunto de relevância médica. Métodos: Foi realizada revisão de literatura consultando artigos científicos indexados nas bases eletrônicas Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) publicados no período de 2000 a 2018 nos idiomas português e inglês. Resultados: A fim de devolver à mulher seu papel de protagonista durante o parto e oferecer uma assistência de qualidade técnica e humanizada, a Organização Mundial da Saúde e o Ministério da Saúde propuseram condutas a serem recomendadas nesse contexto. Todavia, ainda é visto a prática de intervenções desnecessárias que não consideram as evidências científicas ou as características individuais, sociais e culturais da parturiente, levando a resultados perinatais desfavoráveis, além de repercussões biopsicossociais negativas para a mesma. Considerações finais: O ciclo gravídico-puerperal deve ser considerado evento natural e fisiológico em que a equipe de saúde respeite os desejos da parturiente. É preciso implementação e fiscalização de práticas de ensino humanizado e melhorias na qualidade dos serviços da saúde pública.

Trachoma elimination in Latin America: prioritization of municipalities for surveillance activities
Authors: Saboyá-Díaz Martha Idalí , Betanzos-Reyes Angel F , West Sheila K , Muñoz Beatriz , Castellanos Luis Gerardo , Espinal Marcos
Published: December 2019

Objective. To identify and prioritize municipalities in 22 countries of Latin America for trachoma surveillance activities, to measure the absence or prevalence of trachoma, and to support validation and trachoma elimination efforts in the Region of the Americas.

Methods. A prioritization scale was developed in 2017 to rank each municipality by considering a combination of three characteristics: (a) its trachoma vulnerability index, derived from three socioeconomic factors known to be risks for trachoma—lack of access to improved sanitation, to clean drinking water, and to adequate education, according to housing census data from early 2017; (b) its history of trachoma in countries where the disease was not a known public health problem in 2016; and (c) whether or not it shares a border with a municipality where trachoma was a known public health problem in 2016. Municipalities in 22 countries were classified as either very high, high, medium, or low priority for trachoma surveillance. From the Caribbean, only Trinidad and Tobago met inclusion criteria.

Results. The prioritization scale identified 1 053 municipalities in Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala as very high priority for trachoma surveillance. In Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela, 183 municipalities were ranked as high priority, and in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Uruguay, 677 municipalities were designated a medium priority for trachoma surveillance.

Conclusions. This prioritization scale will be useful to countries in Latin America that still need to ascertain their current trachoma situation. The absence or prevalence of trachoma in countries designated as very high and high priority for trachoma surveillance activities must be studied to determine the extent of the disease in Latin America.
Is foreign trade relevant to economic growth in the SADC region?
Authors: David Damiyano  , Nirmala Dorasamy
Published: December 2019

The relationship between foreign trade and economic growth is one of the controversial subjects in  economics. Theoretical models have been  developed  and  empirical  studies have been carried out  but the results obtained are mixed and up to now, there is no unique answer with regard to the same study. This paper examines the relationship between foreign trade and economic growth taking SADC countries as the laboratory test ground. Growth performances have not been consistent within the SADC region and  weak regional trade performance is by the virtue of the fact that  they focused  more on elimination of trade barriers instead of  concentrating  on  the  development  of  the productive capacities necessary for trade. The research used panel data gathered from SADC trade database, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank. Using panel regression analysis of  15 SADC member states, the paper demonstrates that foreign trade promotes economic growth but it was found to have a moderate effect on growths of SADC countries. Based on the findings, the paper recommends SADC member countries to devise energetic industrial policies geared towards developing export industries and also to implement the SADC Regional Infrastructure Development Master Plan in order to improve trade within the region so as to realise real market access benefits brought about by trade liberalization.
Determinant Factors in Adopting Certifications Among Coffee Growers in India
Authors: Shilpa L  , Vikas Singh
Published: December 2019

Certified coffee production is an opportunity for the cultivator to differ his product. In any case, the quantity of certified producers is still comparatively very less. So as to contribute to the spread of accreditation among ranchers, the purpose of this research work is to distinguish the components that decide its reception, based on a sample of certified and non-certified cultivators from Karnataka and Kerala in India. Quantitative information was dissected through logistic regression. Results demonstrated that three factors were critical in clarifying the accreditation reception: membership in the organization; source of income from different yields as well as the size of landholding. These outcomes extend the current information about coffee certifications and can manage activities to build the number of certified producers.

Transformation To An ICT Enabled M-Learning Environment - An Organisational Perspective
Authors: Dr. Usha. S
Published: December 2019

With constant changes sweeping across the world, technology and transformation management is an unavoidable strategic tool for all organizations. Adding on to it, the manifestation of mobile phone usage necessitates its adoption. If an organisation is not able to identify, strategize and transform to this new technology it is likely to miss out on a lot of opportunities that offer scope for sustainability. This research paper intends to understand the path of transforming from a traditional to an ICT enabled mobile-learning (M-learning) environment. Primary data was collected using questionnaires from employees of an ITES organisation who were to adopt a mobile platform to undergo training. The constructs like awareness, perceived benefits and difficulties, technological factors, organisation support were considered as determinants of transformation to m-learning. Data analysis was done using SPSS software. It was found that transformation to mobile based methodology is smoother if the user understands the ensuing benefits. On the other hand, perceived difficulties act as a deterrent to the transformation. Hence the key to success of the transformation is to keep the end user in mind. Further exploration of other similar training platform provided to different levels of employees and different modules are yet to be explored.
