RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a dor e o consumo de opioides dos pacientes submetidos a técnicas anestésicas de bloqueio do plano eretor da espinha (ESPB) e bloqueio anestésico local (LBA) em cirurgia torácica vídeo assistida no período pós-operatório imediato (POI). Métodos: noventa e dois pacientes submetidos a cirurgia torácica videotoracoscópica foram randomizados aleatoriamente para receberem ESPB ou LBA antes do início do procedimento cirúrgico. O desfecho primário avaliado foi a dor do paciente no POI através da escala verbal numérica. O desfecho secundário avaliou o consumo de opioides através da quantificação da medicação usada em dose equianalgésica de morfina expressa em miligramas, no período de recuperação pós-anestésica imediata, 6h, 12h e 24h após a cirurgia. Resultados: os escores da Escala Verbal Numérica de dor (EVN) no grupo LBA e ESPB no POI, respectivamente, tiveram média de 0,8 (±1,89) vs 0,58 (±2,02) na sala de recuperação pós anestesia (REPAI), 1,06 (±2,00) vs 1,30 (±2,30) em 6 horas do POI, 0,84 (±1,74) vs 1,19 (±2,01) em 12 horas do POI e 0,95 (±1,88) vs 1 ( ±1,66) em 24 horas do POI, todos com p>0,05. O consumo médio de opioides no grupo LBA e ESPB foi de 12,9 (±10,4) mg vs 14,9 (±10.2) mg, respectivamente, com p=0.416. Dezesseis participantes do grupo ESPB e dezessete do grupo LBA não utilizaram opioides durante as primeiras 24 horas do PO. Conclusões: as técnicas de bloqueio LBA e ESPB apresentaram resultados semelhantes em termos de baixos escores de dor e consumo de opioides durante o período avaliado.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: sacrococcygeal teratoma (TSC) is the most common tumor of the neonatal period. Alphafetoprotein is an important tumor marker and is used in the follow-up period as a marker of malignancy. The complete surgical resection of the tumor associated with coccygectomy is the standard treatment and chemotherapy in different stages are necessary. Follow-up consists of serial exam: tumor markers, imaging searching to possible metastasis sites, in addition to a complete physical examination. Methodology: a descriptive, retrospective, study was carried out by analyzing a chart of 25 patients of two different reference children cancer center; with TSC in the State of Rio de Janeiro from 2004 to 2019. The clinical and epidemiological data collected were described and a comparison was made between these two centers studied. Results: the sociodemographic characteristics found were similar to those described in the medical literature. Data related to treatment and follow-up, such as the use of chemotherapy, use of specific imaging tests, digital rectal examination, and outpatient follow-up, differed between the two centers studied. There was a 25% loss of follow-up. Conclusion: the characteristic of being a non-cancer center can interfere with the full application of the current protocol for the treatment of sacrococcygeal teratoma. The knowledge of the data of the studied cases can allow the optimization of the approach of the patients with this pathology and generate discussions about the integral application of the specific therapeutic protocol in the medical centers that are qualified for such treatment.

Método: estudo observacional de tipo ecológico, com abordagem quantitativa, e incluiu a população brasileira com 20 anos ou mais que, internadas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, tiveram registro de realização do procedimento de traqueostomia em qualquer momento da hospitalização. Resultados: das 113.569.570 hospitalizações estudadas, foram identificadas 172.456 traqueostomias realizadas no Brasil (0,15%). A taxa média de realização deste procedimento apresentou tendência de queda no período estudado. A maior taxa média de traqueostomia foi encontrada na Região Sul, e a faixa etária mais afetada foi a dos 80 anos ou mais. A taxa média de traqueostomia no sexo masculino foi de 1,8 vezes maior do que no sexo feminino. As principais causas associadas à realização de traqueostomia foram as patologias respiratórias, oncológicas e decorrentes de causas externas, sendo que as causas respiratórias contribuíram com 73% do total de procedimentos estudados. Conclusões: as taxas médias de mortalidade e letalidade das internações com traqueostomia no Brasil foram de 3,36 e 28,57%, mas apresentaram tendência de redução no período.
“Avançado” ou “precipitado”? Sobre o Modelo de Acesso Avançado/Aberto na Atenção Primária à Saúde
Authors: Stelet Bruno Pereira , Modesto Antônio Augusto Dall’Agnol , Oliveira Neto Alfredo de , Aragão Cristal Moniz de , Reigada Carolina Lopes de Lima
Published: September 2022

Resumo O modelo de Acesso Avançado ou Aberto (Advanced/Open Access) vem sendo estimulado por gestores e valorizado pela medicina de família e comunidade brasileira como modelo de gestão da clínica na Equipe de Saúde da Família. Este artigo de revisão integrativa discute como essa tecnologia pode qualificar ou prejudicar a Atenção Primária à Saúde. Embora ajude a promover mudanças necessárias em agendas tradicionalmente voltadas para ações programáticas, o modelo tem um forte viés gerencialista. Ao desconsiderar premissas básicas, sua implantação pode resultar em sofrimento do profissional e em sua alienação perante o território e o cuidado integral em saúde, além de reforçar o modelo biomédico e a medicalização social. Apontamos caminhos para que ‘avançado’ não signifique ‘precipitado’, destacando que uma implantação com base no diálogo entre trabalhadores, gestores e usuários parece mais coerente com a própria literatura sobre Acesso Avançado e com a produção nacional sobre Acolhimento no Sistema Único de Saúde.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT The diagnosis and treatment of supernumerary teeth pose a challenge for dental clinicians and pediatric dentists. These teeth are asymptomatic and may cause the delayed eruption of the permanent dentition, altered bone growth and ectopic positioning. This paper reports a case of the surgical removal of supernumerary teeth in the anterior region of the maxilla of a child under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. A six-year-old female patient visited a private dental office in the city of Garanhuns, Brazil, accompanied by her mother, who reported a tooth with a “strange shape” in the anterior region as the main complaint and also reported that her daughter’s first dental experience was negative. The clinical examination and imaging tests were performed under general anesthesia to confirm the diagnosis. In view of the patient’s dental and behavioral history, surgical treatment was performed in a hospital setting and assisted by a multidisciplinary team. Care in the hospital setting was found to be feasible, providing greater comfort for uncooperative patients.

Authors: Cintra Yara Consuelo , Haslam Jim , Sauerbronn Fernanda Filgueiras
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: this essay aims to gain insights into the character of research designs and methods that best reflect the post-Marxist emancipatory accounting research promoted by Gallhofer, Haslam, and related writers. Thesis: emancipatory accounting research, as promoted by Gallhofer and Haslam, is non-dogmatic, subjectivist, and critical. It is consistent with a wide range of methods, although it is especially served by forms of qualitative research concerning key areas. It also values material from wide-ranging sources. Conclusions: the authors delineate appropriate research designs and methods in this area. We explore the theoretical appreciation of emancipatory accounting and reflect on debates over the philosophy of method in the literature to gain insights. The particularities and refinements involved in appreciating dimensions of emancipatory accounting are articulated: the multi-dimensional character of accountings’ functioning and dynamics; the complex and dynamic processes and phenomena that shape the significance of accountings; the envisioning of betterment; the particular praxis-orientation. At the same time, we point to similarities with other types of critical accounting research.
Interaction Effects between Online Reviews and Product Characteristics on Consumer’s Trust

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: the present study analyzes the relationship between online reviews and consumer trust in online stores, considering the conjoint effects of the characteristics of online reviews and product offers in the social commerce context. Methods: the study is characterized as a laboratory experiment that simulated the environment of an online store considering different scenarios, totaling 602 cases for analysis. Results: the results indicate that the relationship established between the consumer and the reviewers moderates the relationship between reviews and trust, suggesting that positive and negative reviews from friends and acquaintances affect the consumer’s trust more than those reviews made from strangers. However, this effect is not always significant, depending on the price offered. Still, the type of the product moderates the effect of the online reviews on trust when the store displays higher prices than the competition. In such cases, the impact of reviews on trust is more intense in high-value product advertisements. Conclusions: the study can help managers and website developers create more appropriate processes and strategic alternatives in the social commerce context, based on a better understanding of the relationships among the variables studied in this research.

Can Mothers Be Heroes? Maternity and Maternal Body Work in Military Firefighters
Authors: Souza Eloisio Moulin de
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: the article analyzes the discursive practices related to maternity and maternal body work that circulate among military firefighters, through the cultural construction of the hero firefighter that affects simultaneously the construction of military women as ideal mothers and firefighters. Theoretical framework: to do so, we used studies on maternal body work and gender in military organizations. Method: we conducted semi-structured interviews with mothers and pregnant military firefighters, and data were analyzed using the Foucauldian discourse analysis (FDA). Results: the hero establishes conflicts between motherhood and work that reduce the status of women firefighters in the organization. To deal with these conflicts and contradictions, women firefighters engage in maternal body work, seeking to reconcile the demands of work and motherhood. Conclusion: the results of the article show that building the hero firefighter’s imaginary represents an unwritten social norm, which establishes power relations that downgrade and push away simultaneously the maternal bodies from the possibility of being considered heroic and ideal bodies for the military firefighter work.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT The tobacco budworm Chloridea (Heliothis) virescens (F.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) has been recently reported in corn crops. However, there is no information regarding the biology of this species feeding on corn cobs. Additionally, the relationship between temperature and tobacco budworm feeding habits is important to project the adaptation of the insect in corn crops at different times and regions. This study aimed to investigate the development of C. virescens feeding on corn cobs, under controlled laboratory conditions, at three temperatures (25 ± 1 ºC, 28 ± 1 ºC and 31 ± 1 ºC). Although adult budworms were observed at all temperatures, the larval development period was reduced at 31 ± 1 ºC, resulting in a lower grain consumption. On the other hand, biological parameters such as larval and pupal viability, pupal weight and sex ratio did not vary with temperature. During the adult stage, a similar fecundity was recorded at all temperatures; however, the egg viability was zero. The optimal temperature for the C. virescens development was between 25 ± 1 ºC and 28 ± 1 ºC. The temperature of 31 ± 1 ºC affects the eggs development, preventing the next generation of tobacco budworms.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Considering that changes in climatic parameters directly interfere in crop yields, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of changes in carbon dioxide concentrations, temperature and soil water availability on production, water-use efficiency and onion (Allium cepa L. cv. IPA 11) quality. Four levels of soil water availability (40, 60, 80 and 100 %) and two concentrations of atmospheric CO2 (770 and 390 ppm) were evaluated in three experiments with different temperature regimes (18-24-30, 22-28-34 and 26-32-38 ºC), in Phytotron growth chambers. The water-use efficiency, bulb diameter and weight, shoot dry weight, pulp frmness, soluble solids content, pH and titratable acidity were also evaluated. The increase in temperature reduces the production, and a higher soil water availability increases the production of IPA 11 onion bulbs. The temperature regime of 18-24-30 ºC and the water availability of 76.72 % provide the best water-use efficiency for the onion crop.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT The low-carbon agriculture is one of the central themes in the climate agenda. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a low carbon farm in the Maranhão State, Brazil, using univariate and multidimensional approaches. The experimental design consisted of three replications of five treatments (land uses) (Cerrado as a reference area; no-tillage soybean-off-season corn; no-tillage corn-soybean-off-season corn; no-tillage corn-soybean; no-tillage soybean-off-season corn-Brachiarya brizantha), in five periods (Julian days: 28, 48, 83, 138 and 154), totaling 75 observations. The data were analyzed using univariate and multidimensional approaches. A statistically significant interaction was observed between treatment and period, indicating that the responses to the treatment vary with time. The plot that showed the best performance was the reference area, followed by the no-tillage soybean-off-season corn treatment.

Authors: Olave Irlanda , Villarreal Ana Cecilia , Flores Lizette Drusila
Published: September 2022

Resumen Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo explorar los tipos de preguntas que varios profesores de Literatura Inglesa, utilizando el inglés como medio de instrucción, les hacían a sus alumnos, durante sus lecciones, en una universidad del norte de México. Fue un estudio cualitativo en el cual se analizaron las transcripciones de las lecciones de cuatro profesores. Como resultado se observó una distinción entre preguntas de nivel cognitivo básico y complejo: las primeras promovieron la participación de los estudiantes y los llevaron a apoyarse en referencias textuales y culturales para responder y las segundas guiaron al estudiantado a argumentar y matizar sus respuestas. Los resultados sugieren que los docentes pueden usar las preguntas de nivel cognitivo básico como andamios, si estas se acompañan de alguna forma de retroalimentación que ayude a los estudiantes a construir procesos de aprendizaje.

Abstract Bibliometrics focuses on the quantitative analysis of scientific literature, both in terms of production and consumption. The objective of the present study was to use bibliometrics indicators for analysing the scientific production of junior researchers. Focusing on key aspects such as doctoral theses, publications, fields of study, projects, and regions, a descriptive, comparative, and correlational study was carried out. The results showed a total of 821 theses (493 proposed by men and 328, by women). A total of 1936 published works were found, of which 1358 were dated from 2013 to 2018, and 578, from 2008 to 2013 (?: 135%, p = 0.01). The main findings increased the understanding of the state of sports science in Spain. The number of theses and publications has increased, which shows that, in the country, sports sciences have gained momentum during the period examined in the study. However, the economic resources derived from research and development have stabilized over the period under review, despite its growth rate during the last ten years being the one experiencing the greatest increase.

Abstract Introduction Playing is intrinsically related to child development. Through play assessment, health professionals, including occupational therapists, can obtain information about child development. The Knox Preschool Play Scale - revised (KPPS-r) is a standardized instrument that enables the effective assessment of the skills existing in preschoolers’ play behavior. Objective To examine the national and international scientific production on the KPPS-r. Method This is a scoping review of the literature utilizing the following research databases: Scopus, Lilacs, BDENF, Embase, Cochrane, Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Dedalus, BDTD, and PROQUEST; also Scielo, Google Scholar, and Capes Articles Website. The search strategy included the descriptors “Escala Lúdica Pré-escolar de Knox” OR “Knox Preschool Play Scale”. Results 51 studies published between 1983 and 2019 involving 1816 children were identified. The associated use of over 36 assessment instruments was identified, enabling knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the scale. The KPPSr is a valuable and reliable instrument both in clinical practice and in research. However, the lack of a manual or guidelines for its application is a weakness of this instrument. Conclusion This scoping review qualitatively analyzed the national and international literature addressing the KPPS, identifying gaps in scientific production and generating a broad panorama of data on the use, dissemination, and availability of this instrument, in addition to presenting an outline of the studies, their methodologies, and objectives.
Is occupational therapy an ableist health profession? A critical reflection on ableism and occupational therapy
Authors: Yao Daryl Patrick Gamboa , Sy Michael Palapal , Martinez Pauline Gail V. , Laboy Elizabeth C.
Published: September 2022

Abstract Introduction There is a need to engage in critical reflection and reflexivity to deconstruct ableist conceptualisations and practices in occupational therapy. Objectives: 1) to discuss ableism as a social construction within a practice system, 2) to deconstruct ableist mechanisms employed within occupational therapy practice, and 3) to propose inclusive and justice-oriented practices that can improve patterns of practices within the occupational therapy profession. Method Online discussions and reflective writing, producing critical reflections, were done to curate our experiences and insights based on our personal and professional experiences, thoughts, and observations as Filipino occupational therapy practitioners. Critical reflexivity was seen both as process and output to address the research objectives. Findings Despite the efforts of scholars, educators, and practitioners in employing inclusive and justice-oriented occupational therapy practices, ableism continues to proliferate through overt and covert mechanisms within professional practices. Conclusion As the occupational therapy profession continues to evolve, practitioners are expected to be critically reflective and reflexive to mitigate discriminatory practices and promote inclusive and participatory practices today and beyond. This article hopes to serve as an eye-opener for occupational therapy practitioners and reconsider their doings, knowings, and sayings in their present and future practice.

Authors: Marín-Leal Julio César , Rincón-Miquilena Neil José , Díaz-Borrego Laugeny Chiquinquirá , Pire-Sierra María Carolina
Published: September 2022

Abstract: Aim In this article the acute ecotoxicological effects of Cr(III), Cr(VI), Cd(II) and V(V) on ciliated protozoa isolated from Lake Maracaibo were evaluated, by estimating of the LC50 for an exposure time of 1-h and observations every 5 min. Methods Isolations and cultures of ciliated protozoa were made from surface water samples to then carry out toxicity essays under static and controlled conditions, identifying cell immobility (death) as the endpoint. Results The response of the ciliated protozoa made it possible to unequivocally determine the acute toxicity in presence of potentially toxic elements (PTE), with variable mortalities depending on the gender, the element tested and its concentration. The results obtained with Euplotes sp. indicate that protozoan is a sensitive biomonitor indicated for the biomonitoring of PTE contamination in Lake Maracaibo. Conclusions The use of shorter exposure periods offers opportunities to show early toxicity effects on natural populations and to act in a timely manner (early warning systems) in contamination events by PTEs, as well as the development of sensitive and rapid biomonitoring methods for detection of these elements in the environment.

Background: Anatomical variations of cystic duct (CD) are frequently unrecognized. It is important to be aware of these variations prior to any surgical, percutaneous, or endoscopic intervention procedures. Objectives: The purpose of our study was to demonstrate the imaging features of cystic duct and its variants using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and document their prevalence in our population. Materials and Methods: This study included 265 patients who underwent magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography due to different indications and variations of cystic duct were documented. Results: Normal lateral insertion of cystic duct at middle third of common hepatic duct was seen in 29.43% of cases. Medial insertion was seen in 2.63% of cases, 2.26% were low medial insertions. Low insertion of cystic duct was noted in 1.51 % of cases. Parallel course of cystic duct was present in 0.38% of cases. High insertion was noted in 0.38% cases and no case of short cystic duct was noted. No case of cystic duct draining into right hepatic duct was seen. Conclusion: Cystic duct variations are common and MRCP is an optimal imaging modality for demonstration of cystic duct anatomy. KEY WORDS: Cystic Duct, Hepatic Duct, Variation, MRCP.

Aortic arch (AA) anomalies occur in approximately 3-5% of cadavers, but these atypical branches remain a point of discussion in cervical region surgery. This case report describes a 73-year-old Caucasian female who died of renal failure following a complicated urinary tract infection whose left vertebral artery (LVA) originated from the AA between the left common carotid and subclavian arteries. The preforaminal part of the LVA was 5 mm in diameter and entered the C6 transverse foramen while the right vertebral artery (RVA) arose from the right subclavian was 6.5 mm in diameter and entered the C5. Embryologically, VAs are formed during weeks four through eight by development of longitudinal anastomoses linking the cervical intersegmental arteries (ISA). The ISA regress except the seventh, which becomes the proximal subclavian artery, the point of origin of the adult VA. Persons with LVA that arises from the AA may be asymptomatic; however, secondary dilatation of the RVA may be implicated in the development of cerebrovascular disorders and atherosclerotic changes due to increased blood flow. Additionally, the anatomical positioning of a left vertebral artery is important when considering an anterior approach for cervical spine surgery and other head-neck procedures when soft structures arteries, veins and muscles are retracted to reach the cervical spine.

Introduction: Kyphosis is a sharp posterior angulation due to localized collapse or wedging of one or more vertebrae and scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine. These may occur due to a congenital defect, fracture, and sometimes pathological or spinal tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: During routine cadaver dissection, four cases of kyphoscoliosis were identified. In the first case, a protrusion on the posterior surface of the trunk of the cadaver at L1 level was observed in a 60-year-old male. The lungs were collapsed and adherent with the pleura and thoracic wall. The posterior wall of the stomach was adherent to the pancreas and a depression was noted on the anterior surface of abdominal aorta. The T12 and L1 vertebrae were fused, and the spine was deviated to the left side. The anterior aspect of the body of L1 vertebrae was marginally eroded. The second case of kyphoscoliosis was from 80-year-old female cadaver. The descending and abdominal aorta had an abnormal course along the vertebral column, third and fourth cases were observed with slight protrusion and scoliosis but not much changes in the vertebral column. Results: The cause of the deformity was confirmed by pathological examination of the tissues showed inter vertebral disc degeneration with calcification and ossification and osteopenia. The underlying etiology can be tuberculosis, injuries, or infections. Conclusion: Severe kyphoscoliosis can affect wide range of systems in the body. It will affect not only the respiratory system also pressure on great vessels as a consequence of bony deformity. KEY WORDS: Kyphosis, Cadaver Dissection, Kyphoscoliosis, Deformity, Calcification, Ossification.

The coeliac trunk is the branch of the abdominal aorta at the level of the twelfth thoracic vertebra. Its branches namely left gastric, common hepatic and splenic arteries supply the primary organs of the supracolic abdominal compartment namely the stomach, pancreas, spleen and liver. In this article, we report case series of three cases in male cadavers aged 65yrs, 60yrs and 70yrs respectively in the Department of Anatomy, Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences and MVJ Medical College and Research Institute wherein we discovered that the branching pattern of the coeliac trunk varied from the usual pattern, thus the specimens were photographed to understand further. The observation of first case, common trunk from abdominal aorta showed common hepatic and superior mesenteric artery and left gastric and splenic artery aroused as another common trunk from abdominal aorta. The second case showed the superior mesenteric artery arising from coeliac trunk and the third case was observed the inferior phrenic arteries were arising from coeliac trunk. Knowledge of this variable anatomy may be useful in planning and executing surgical or radiological interventions. KEY WORDS: Ventral splanchnic vessels, coeliac trunk, Superior mesenteric Artery, Inferior Phrenic artery, vascular variations.

Migración con ojos de mujer: una mirada interseccional es un libro que recoge la comprensión de las migraciones femeninas en el contexto sur-sur. Desde miradas múltiples, populares, y también honestas desde el esclarecimiento del feminismo como posicionamiento epistemológico de partida. Este libro cuestiona los instrumentos conceptuales y metodológicos adecuados para abordar la migración de las mujeres y con ello producir conocimiento crítico y comprometido.
