Background: The goal of spine arthrodesis is vertebral fusion and stabilization, however there are multiple factors which don’t allow it; among the most known are implant failure and pseudarthrosis. The question is, should a revision surgery must be performed in all implant failures? Case description: We present 2 cases of screw fatigue or failure which were treated differently based on the symptoms of the patients, even when they had clear radiologic images of implant failure. Conclusion: The set of signs and symptoms are the pillar for the decision in the definitive treatment, even though the literature mentions bone-implant fusions in less than a year, instrumentation does not always fulfill its objective due to surgical and non-surgical factors; however, we must individualize each case with the aim of maintaining spinal stabilization, preserving neurological function and relieve pain.

Authors: Janra Muhammad Nazri , Herwina Henny
Published: May 2023

AbstractAgriocnemis femina known as variable wisp or pinhead wisp, is a damselfly from family Coenagrionidae which inhabits various aquatic habitats, including those affected by human. This study aimed to investigate the dynamics of variable wisp in polluted habitat. The tenerals, immature males, adult females and adult males of this damselfly were regularly counted from August 2018 until May 2019 at a 50 m ditch in a clustered settlement in Padang, West Sumatra. It was found that the ratio of teneral, immature male, adult female, and adult male was 1:3:2.4:13.3, implying that the population was dominated by males. Meanwhile, the ratio between female to male (which included the immature males) was 1:6.7. Comparing to the result of counting another population from a relatively clean area, variable wisp showed more dominance in polluted area rather than in clean waterbody. The presence of teneral also indicates that damselfly uses polluted ditch for its breeding site and habitat. The paper discussed the potential causes for damselfly's presence in polluted area, and therefore serves as baseline for future studies.AbstrakAgriocnemis femina, atau dikenal juga dengan nama capung-jarum centil, termasuk ke dalam keluarga Coenagrionidae yang menghuni beragam habitat perairan, termasuk yang telah mendapatkan pengaruh dari manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dinamika capung-jarum centil pada habitat yang terpolusi di Kota Padang. Individu teneral, jantan muda, betina dewasa, dan jantan dewasa dari capung-jarum ini dihitung secara rutin dari Agustus 2018 sampai dengan Mei 2019 pada selokan sepanjang 50 m di sebuah kompleks perumahan di Kota Padang, Sumatra Barat. Rasio teneral jantan muda, betina dewasa, dan jantan dewasa yang ditemukan adalah 1:3:2,4:13,3, mengisyarakatkan bahwa individu jantan merupakan bagian yang dominan di dalam populasi capung-jarum ini. Sementara rasio antara betina dan jantan (termasuk jantan muda) adalah 1:6,7. Jika dibandingkan dengan hasil penghitungan jenis serupa yang dilakukan pada kawasan perairan yang lebih bersih, terlihat bahwa capung-jarum centil lebih dominan pada kawasan perairan yang mengalami polusi dibandingkan dengan yang bersih. Keberadaan individu teneral juga mengindikasikan bahwa capung-jarum ini berbiak pada selokan yang terpolusi tersebut, yang mungkin juga menjadi habitatnyat. Hal-hal yang menyebabkan capung-jarum ini dapat hidup pada kawasan yang terpolusi dibahas lebih lanjut di dalam paper ini.

Military aviation is one of the key factors in maintaining national security. Aircraft are the first to encounter the enemy in the defensive role and also are the key factor in conducting offensive actions. Since a while we are observing a move to the Far East by the United States which clearly indicates that this will be the main region in global politics. The center of gravity located on the Pacific Ocean and within Asian countries brings new perspectives for the development of military aviation in that area. The key players in the region are refreshing their arsenal and are equipped with more and more modern aircraft and accompanying equipment. This article is an effort to sum up the latest changes in military aviation in the main countries in the Far East and to highlight the evolution of the key Air Forces in that region.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Objective: The perfusion profile of vestibular schwannomas (VSs) and the factors that influence it have yet to be determined. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with sporadic VS were analyzed by calculating parameters related to the extravascular extracellular space (EES)—the volume transfer constant between a vessel and the EES (Ktrans); the EES volume per unit of tissue volume (Ve); and the rate transfer constant between EES and blood plasma (Kep)—as well as the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), and by correlating those parameters with the size of the tumor and its structure (solid, cystic, or heterogeneous). Results: Although Ktrans, Ve, and Kep were measurable in all tumors, rCBV was measurable only in large tumors. We detected a positive correlation between Ktrans and rCBV (r = 0.62, p = 0.031), a negative correlation between Ve and Kep (r = –0.51, p = 0.021), and a positive correlation between Ktrans and Ve only in solid VSs (r = 0.64, p = 0.048). Comparing the means for small and large VSs, we found that the former showed lower Ktrans (0.13 vs. 0.029, p < 0.001), higher Kep (0.68 vs. 0.46, p = 0.037), and lower Ve (0.45 vs. 0.83, p < 0.001). The mean Ktrans was lower in the cystic portions of cystic VSs than in their solid portions (0.14 vs. 0.32, p < 0.001), as was the mean Ve (0.37 vs. 0.78, p < 0.001). There were positive correlations between the solid and cystic portions for Ktrans (r = 0.71, p = 0.048) and Kep (r = 0.74, p = 0.037). Conclusion: In VS, tumor size appears to be consistently associated with perfusion values. In cystic VS, the cystic portions seem to have lower Ktrans and Ve than do the solid portions.

Abstract Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of histogram analysis on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) for differentiating between adrenal adenomas and pheochromocytomas (PCCs). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with proven PCCs who had undergone CT examinations between January 2009 and July 2019 at one of two institutions. For each PCC, we selected one or two adenomas diagnosed within two weeks of the date of diagnosis of the PCC. For each lesion, two readers scored the size, determined the mean attenuation, and generated a voxel histogram. The 10th percentile (P10) was obtained from the conventional histogram analysis, as well as being calculated with the following formula: P10 = mean attenuation – (1.282 × standard deviation). The mean attenuation threshold, histogram analysis (observed) P10, and calculated P10 (calcP10) were compared in terms of their diagnostic accuracy. Results: We included 52 adenomas and 29 PCCs. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the mean attenuation threshold were 75.0%, 100.0%, and 82.5%, respectively, for reader 1, whereas they were 71.5%, 100.0%, and 81.5%, respectively, for reader 2. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the observed P10 and calcP10 were equal for both readers: 90.4%, 96.5%, and 92.6%, respectively, for reader 1; and 92.3%, 93.1%, and 92.6%, respectively, for reader 2. The increase in sensitivity was significant for both readers (p = 0.009 and p = 0.005, respectively). Conclusion: For differentiating between adenomas and PCCs, the histogram analysis (observed P10 and calcP10) appears to outperform the mean attenuation threshold as a diagnostic criterion.

Resumo Doença de Crohn é uma doença inflamatória intestinal que pode acometer qualquer segmento do trato gastrointestinal, com curso clínico variado, alternando períodos de atividade de doença e remissão. Sua incidência e prevalência vêm aumentando, tornando a avaliação por métodos de imagem mais importante. Os métodos mais utilizados são enterotomografia computadorizada, enterorressonância magnética eletivamente e tomografia computadorizada com contraste no contexto da emergência. A enterotomografia computadorizada e a enterorressonância magnética são úteis para diagnóstico, seguimento, avaliação de complicações e para prognóstico. Avaliam as alças intestinais delgadas e os achados mesentéricos associados, além dos demais órgãos abdominais. Detectam sinais de atividade de doença, sinais de cronicidade e doença penetrante e complicações, importantes para a escolha do melhor tratamento. A interpretação dessas alterações é fundamental para que a equipe multidisciplinar trabalhe conjuntamente com compreensão da linguagem utilizada nos relatórios. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma revisão dos achados de imagem da doença de Crohn e ilustramos os possíveis achados dessa doença utilizando a nomenclatura padronizada proposta no consenso multidisciplinar composto pelas Sociedade de Radiologia Abdominal, Sociedade de Radiologia Pediátrica e a Associação Americana de Gastroenterologia, com recomendações de descrição, interpretação dos achados e recomendações de impressão.

Published: May 2023

Abstract Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. It has a variable clinical course, with alternating periods of disease activity and remission. Because the incidence and prevalence of Crohn’s disease have been increasing, evaluation by imaging methods has become more important. The most widely used methods are computed tomography enterography, magnetic resonance enterography (as an elective examination), and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (in the context of emergency). Computed tomography enterography and magnetic resonance enterography are useful for diagnosis, follow-up, evaluation of complications, and prognosis. Both can be used in order to evaluate the small bowel loops and the associated mesenteric findings, as well as to evaluate other abdominal organs. They both also can detect signs of disease activity, fibrosis, penetrating disease, and complications. The interpretation of such changes is essential to the multidisciplinary approach, as is the standardization of the nomenclature employed in the reports. In this paper, we review and illustrate the imaging findings of Crohn’s disease, using the standardized nomenclature proposed in the multidisciplinary consensus statement issued by the Society of Abdominal Radiology, the Society of Pediatric Radiology, and the American Gastroenterology Association, with recommendations for descriptions, interpretations, and impressions related to those findings.

Published: May 2023

This study aims to map, within the scientific literature, the relationship between disrespect and abuse during childbirth and the occurrence of postpartum depression. This is a scoping review designed in accordance with the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search was performed in Embase, LILACS, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and in the CAPES Portal of Theses and Dissertations. We included studies that investigated the relationship between disrespect and abuse during childbirth with postpartum depression, considering cases diagnosed by physicians and by self-reports via validated scales, without restrictions regarding the year of publication and language. A total of 3,399 publications were identified and, after removing the duplicates and reading the title, abstracts, and the full-texts, seven articles were selected to integrate this review. Studies were published from 2017 onward, in four countries. Women who had experienced disrespect and abuse during childbirth were more likely to experience symptoms of postpartum depression. A standard terminology is necessary for disrespectful and abusive care during childbirth, as well as the elaboration of a measurement instrument that is universally accepted.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: The quality of flexibility greatly impacts the performance of aerobics athletes. It is believed that stretching by proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) can contribute to this aspect by maximizing active joint range motion. Objective: Explore the influences of PNF stretching on the physical fitness of aerobics athletes. Methods: 24 professional aerobics athletes were selected, and randomly distributed into two groups with no statistical discrepancies in physical indices. PNF stretching exercise was performed on aerobics athletes in the experimental group, while no training intervention was performed in the control group. Physical fitness was assessed before and after the nine weeks of the intervention. Results: After PNF stretching training, the lower limb vertical score in the experimental group was from 6.58±0.19 to 8.20±0.47, and the transverse pronation score changed from 5.95±0.35 to 7.09±0.61. The vertical score in the control group was from 6.44±59.89 to 6.83±0.37 after the experiment; the transverse pronation penetration score was from 5.78±0.37 to 6.58±0.33. Conclusion: PNF stretching can effectively improve athletes’ physical fitness, both statically and dynamically, generating gains in range of motion and providing favorable conditioning for overall competitive performance.

Paulina são várias: os poderes da representação nas imagens de uma santa católica
Authors: Giumbelli Emerson
Published: May 2023

Resumo Este texto enfoca um conjunto de imagens de Madre Paulina, mulher canonizada pela Igreja Católica em 2002 e que tem seu santuário no sul do Brasil. Esculturas com distintas características participam dos esforços de difusão da devoção à santa. A análise da produção dessas imagens - e suas reproduções em suportes variados - é realizada tendo como referência discussões antropológicas sobre representação e presentificação. Argumenta-se que não é necessário opor estas duas ideias, e a análise demonstra que a multiplicação de representações da santa, com a sua produção de variações, combina-se com o projeto de atrair pessoas para sua devoção. Para a constituição dos dados da pesquisa, foram utilizadas observações nos locais onde as imagens estão, bem como entrevistas com religiosas da congregação que administra o santuário e com os manufaturadores das esculturas da santa.
PEREGRINAÇÃO, DEVOÇÃO E INDIVIDUALISMO: O CONTEXTO DO YOGA E VEDANTA NO RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Bastos Cecilia dos Guimarães
Published: May 2023

Resumo Este artigo investiga o sentido que estudantes de Vedanta e praticantes de yoga do Rio de Janeiro, que realizaram duas viagens de peregrinação à Índia, atribuem ao que entendem por devoção e conversão a um grupo “neo-hindu”. As questões principais são entender os significados que assumem essas viagens e o sentido de devoção por parte de alguns integrantes do grupo. Observo que a devoção foi frequentemente mobilizada ao se depararem com templos e símbolos da cultura hindu - uma vivência propícia para a manifestação e renegociação de suas crenças e do significado de “ser hindu” naquele contexto. Faço, a partir disso, uma reflexão crítica do individualismo inerente ao entendimento da espiritualidade como oposta à religião, mostrando como os interlocutores aderem à autoridade e à tradição e se adaptam às normas sociais no processo da construção de um olhar que é socialmente organizado e sistematizado.
“A gente medica de acordo com a família”: a geriatria cuidando das demências
Authors: Engel Cíntia
Published: May 2023

Resumo A família e as relações familiares são um objeto de intervenção da geriatria quando a especialidade diagnostica e cuida das demências. Por meio de uma etnografia das práticas médicas, observo como as categorias “insuficiência familiar” e “sobrecarga da cuidadora” são diagnosticadas como parte do “conjunto” no qual se irá intervir. Tais diagnósticos orientam e movimentam as decisões terapêuticas de modo bastante amplo, modificando as escolhas sobre quais medicamentos utilizar e em qual quantidade. Famílias com tais diagnósticos podem experimentar maiores dosagens, o que as afasta do ideal de cuidado pretendido. Observo, ainda, o histórico do manejo dessa categoria por uma área que se pretende “biopsicossocial”.

Abstract This study aimed to identify clinical and laboratory variables that could help predict the negative outcome in cattle affected by gastrointestinal emergencies. A retrospective cohort study was carried out using multivariate logistic regression analysis based on data collected from the clinical records of cattle hospitalized at the Garanhuns Bovine Clinic, UFRPE campus. One hundred and twenty-two cattle met the inclusion criteria established for the study. Among the clinical variables, heart rate (HR) and abdominal distension are associated with the outcome in animals with right displaced abomasum (RDA), and anorexia and 10% dehydration in animals with an obstructive intestinal disorder. Among the laboratory variables, plasma fibrinogen (PF) and total leukocyte count were associated with the outcome in animals with RDA, while PF and plasma L-lactate were associated with animals with an obstructive intestinal disorder. HR and the total leukocyte count remained in the final model of the regression adjusted for animals with RDA. On the other hand, plasma L-lactate and PF remained in the final model in the adjusted model for animals with an obstructive intestinal disorder. Cattle with RDA and HR higher than 90 bpm present an increased chance of having a negative outcome whereas cattle with obstructive intestinal disorder and plasma L-lactate higher than 1.84 mmol/L or PF higher than 850 mg/dL have a higher chance of not survive. Therefore, clinical and laboratory variables such as HR, fibrinogen, and plasma L-lactate are useful to predict the negative outcome in cattle with gastrointestinal emergencies, especially RDA and obstructive intestinal disorders.

Resumo Neste estudo foi explorado o efeito do melaço de cana-de-açúcar em substituição parcial ao milho na dieta sobre os parâmetros sanguíneos e a composição do músculo longissimus thoracis (LT) de suínos em crescimento. Vinte leitoas com 63 dias de idade, pesando 28,98 ± 3,56 kg foram aleatoriamente distribuídas nos tratamentos controle ou melaço de canade-açúcar. O melaço foi incluído ao nível de 3% em substituição parcial ao milho na dieta. Ao início e ao final do experimento foram coletadas amostras de sangue dos animais. Os animais foram abatidos aos 110 dias de idade após 47 dias de experimento pesando 67,9 ± 5,58 kg e uma amostra do músculo LT foi extraída e avaliada. Cada animal foi considerado uma unidade experimental. Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos sobre o comprimento e a área do músculo LT. A espessura de toucinho foi reduzida ao utilizar o tratamento melaço de cana-de-açúcar (5,80 mm) em relação ao tratamento controle (8,90 mm) (P < 0,05). Níveis mais elevados da enzima gama-glutamil transferase (GGT) foram observados nos animais do tratamento controle (67,10 UI/L) em comparação aos animais do tratamento melaço de cana-de-açucar (49,90 UI/L) (P < 0,05). A composição proximal e o perfil e qualidade dos ácidos graxos não foram influenciados pelo tratamento. O melaço de cana-de-açúcar utilizado como fonte energética em substituição parcial ao milho na dieta de suínos em crescimento ao nível de 3% reduziu a espessura de toucinho da carcaça de suínos e melhorou a concentração sérica da enzima gama-glutamil transferase de suínos.

RESUMO Objetivo: estimar a prevalência da automutilação entre os adolescentes e os fatores que a influenciam. Método: revisão sistemática com metanálise. A busca foi realizada no mês de outubro de 2021 nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE e PubMed, com os descritores “Adolescente” e “Comportamento autodestrutivo” e “Adolescent” e “Self-destructive behavior,” combinados pelo operador booleano “AND”. Foram incluídos os estudos publicados entre 2015 e 2021, quantitativos, em português, inglês e espanhol, disponíveis na íntegra, e excluídos os documentos que não continham o quantitativo referente aos adolescentes que praticaram automutilação, estudos duplicados e de revisão. A seleção dos estudos foi realizada por pares a partir da remoção de duplicatas e da aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, leitura de títulos, resumos e texto completo. Ao final, a amostra foi composta por 86 estudos. A metanálise foi realizada pelo uso do software R por meio da elaboração do forest plot, teste de heterogeneidade, teste de funil e teste de Egger. Resultados: a prevalência de automutilação entre adolescentes apresentou uma média de 21%, destacando-se os Estados Unidos com o maior percentual. Dentre os fatores identificados, destacaram-se: adolescentes mais velhos, do sexo feminino, desfavorecidos economicamente, que vivenciam conflitos familiares, com pais com baixa escolaridade, vítimas de violência e de bullying e que possuem amigos com comportamentos suicidas. Conclusão: a automutilação configura-se como socialmente determinada de modo que a sua prevalência varia de acordo com a integração entre os diferentes fatores. Nesse contexto, faz-se necessário que o profissional de Enfermagem ofereça apoio emocional aos adolescentes e aos familiares.

RESUMO Objetivo: desenvolver e analisar evidências de validade de conteúdo e de face de um jogo de tabuleiro para promoção de hábitos saudáveis de vida para pacientes com doença arterial coronariana. Método: estudo psicométrico de desenvolvimento e validação de um jogo de tabuleiro para educação em saúde A coleta de dados foi realizada entre os meses de outubro de 2021 e janeiro de 2022. Inicialmente, foram descritas as regras do jogo e sequencialmente foram identificados temas relacionados à prevenção cardiovascular, usados como base para o desenvolvimento de cartas. O jogo foi submetido à avaliação de 14 especialistas em relação à clareza, relevância teórica, pertinência prática, nitidez das imagens e relação da imagem com o texto, por meio da pontuação em escala de Likert. Foi calculado o coeficiente de validade de conteúdo para cada rodada, sendo considerado válido um coeficiente superior a 0,57. Novas rodadas de avaliação foram realizadas até que o coeficiente adequado fosse atingido. Resultados: o jogo de tabuleiro foi construído contendo imagens de corações antropomorfizados aludindo a hábitos saudáveis de vida e 45 casas. Foram desenvolvidas 69 cartas contendo as temáticas de alimentação saudável, atividade física e a importância da cessação do tabagismo e do álcool. Na primeira rodada de avaliação, três cartas não atingiram o coeficiente de validade de conteúdo mínimo. Foram reformuladas e enviadas para a segunda rodada de avaliação, sendo consideradas validadas nessa nova rodada. Conclusão: o jogo, suas regras e seu conteúdo apresentaram adequadas evidências de validade de conteúdo após a segunda rodada. Estudos posteriores para análise do seu efeito na modificação do estilo de vida devem ser realizados.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the temporal evolution of anemia in children aged six to 59 months in Pernambuco, based on population surveys from 1997, 2006, and 2016 and the factors associated with the situation in 2016. Methods: The field studies took place in the participants’ households, in the Recife Metropolitan Area, as well as in the urban and rural inland. The trend study of anemia in children used data from the State Health and Nutrition Survey (Pesquisa Estadual de Saúde e Nutrição — PESN) II (40.9%) and III (32.8%). Data from PESN IV were collected using questionnaires administered to families to verify socioeconomic and individual conditions, as well as anthropometric — weight and height — and biochemical — hemoglobin — records. We adopted the test for trend in proportion for the time trend study and Poisson regression for hypothesis tests for the associated factors. Statistically significance was set at a p-value<0.05. Results: In 2016, the prevalence of anemia was 24.2%, indicating a significant reduction in disease incidence. In children aged 6–23 months, this number decreased from PENS II and III to PENS IV — 63 and 55.6 to 37.7% (p<0.001), respectively. In 2016, the statistically significant variables for anemia in children were maternal hemoglobin, child's age, current or recent case of diarrhea, and weight-for-age index Conclusion: Between 1997 and 2016, anemia rates decreased, showing an epidemiological trend that can contribute to continuously improve the health of children under five years of age in Pernambuco.

Abstract: Introduction: The cadaver is an irreplaceable piece in the learning of human anatomy, allowing a three-dimensional view of anatomical structures. However, there is a scenario of scarcity and increased demand for cadaveric parts in Brazilian universities. Therefore, several institutions, supported by article 14 of Law 10.406/2002 of the Brazilian Civil Code, implemented body donation programs aimed at bringing significant improvements in the teaching quality of the anatomy discipline. Objective: To analyze the level of knowledge and perspectives of a university community regarding the voluntary donation of cadaveric bodies for educational and research purposes. Method: This is an observational, cross-sectional and prospective study with a quantitative approach and data collection through an individual questionnaire. The subjects included in the study were teachers and students from the Federal University of Maranhão, Campus Dom Delgado - UFMA. The questionnaires were related to obtaining information about knowledge and opinions on the topic of body donation. Result: A total of 264 answered questionnaires were obtained, which showed that 85.65% of students and 87.1% of teachers were aware of the possibility of donating their own bodies. However, it was observed that 94% of the interviewees did not know what procedures were necessary for the donation, and 86% did not have knowledge about the legislation that allowed this practice. Furthermore, 27.65% of the participants were able to donate their own body, 33.7% indicated that they would not donate and 38.9% reported that they had no formed opinion. The main reason given for donating was: “to contribute to the advancement of education in the health area”, and for not donating: “I want to be buried or cremated”. Conclusion: There is a high percentage of individuals who do not know how to carry out the donation of their own bodies, being evidenced that the participants have low aptitude for donation. However, there is a significant percentage of individuals who do not have a formed opinion on the subject, demonstrating that the dissemination of this topic is a means to increase adherence to this practice. It is important to carry out the development of body donation programs to solve the problem.
