Serum fibroblast growth factor 23 levels in chronic kidney disease and its correlation with bio-chemical parameters in chronic kidney disease: a cross sectional comparative study
Authors: Anbarasan Priya , Khanna Vinoth
Published: June 2019

Background: Globally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 is a newly recognized phosphatonin secreted by the osteocytes which acts as a key regulator of serum phosphate levels in CKD. In the present study, we aimed to estimate the levels of serum FGF-23 in patients with CKD and to compare them with healthy controls. Also, we aimed to compare the levels of FGF-23 levels with creatinine clearance and kidney size in various stages of CKD.Methods: A cross sectional comparative study was conducted at Thiruvarur Government Medical College hospital in Tamil Nadu. Patients aged between 20 and 65 years with an established diagnosis of CKD and healthy controls were included in the study. Enzyme Immuno-Assay method was followed for the estimation of FGF-23. Spot Urine sample was collected to determine the presence of albumin. Serum levels of glucose, Urea, Creatinine, Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium), Albumin, Calcium, Phosphorus and Alkaline Phosphatase were measured. Information on kidney size, cortical echogenicity, parenchymal thickness and cortico-medullary differentiation were assessed based on ultrasound abdomen.Results: A total of 45 CKD cases and 45 healthy controls were studied. Mean (SD) age of CKD cases was 54(11) years and that of controls was 46(9.6) years. The mean value of FGF23 in cases was 730.7±492.7 pg/ml and this was higher than that of the control group whose mean value was 39.49±12.47 pg/ml (P<0.05). Mean GFR levels in cases and controls were 23.8 and 113.8 and this difference was statistically significant (P value<0.0001). Among cases, Pearson correlation between serum FGF-23 levels and eGFR, serum albumin was statistically significant and had a negative inverse correlation.Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that serum FGF23 levels were significantly increased in patients with CKD. This increase in serum FGF23 levels were progressive from the early stages to the late stages of CKD.

A Educação Permanente em Saúde é uma estratégia para a construção de novas práticas em saúde e enfermagem. Pesquisa  com objetivo de identificar os desafios enfrentados pelos enfermeiros para implementação da Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, descritiva, exploratória e de campo. Aplicou-se questionário semiestruturado com 08 enfermeiras da ESF de um município do Extremo Sul de Santa Catarina.A análise e interpretação dos dados qualitativos foram realizadas pela análise de conteúdo, a partir da categorização dos dados. Os resultados mostraram que não há esse entendimento por parte das enfermeiras de como funciona o organização da educação permanente em saúde na estratégia saúde da família, há um desconhecimento sobre o verdadeiro significado e as práticas que envolvem aPolítica de Educação Permanente em Saúde. A Educação Permanente em Saúde, mesmo sendo uma política pública, ainda é realizada de forma fragmentada e pouco flexível. É necessário que os profissionais tenham clareza da direcionalidade dessa política para a transformação das práticas de saúde.
A GESTÃO ESCOLAR NA PERSPECTIVA DA EDUCAÇÃO DEMOCRÁTICA DOS GESTORES DAS ESCOLAS DA REDE PÚBLICA ESTADUAL DE CRICIUMA – SC
Authors: Cardoso Nicole Zacarão Zeferino , Mello Maria Aparecida da Silva
Published: June 2019

Na óptica da educação democrática, a gestão escolar constitui-se a partir do processo de participação coletiva no sentido de promover melhorias nos processos pedagógicos da escola. A gestão democrática define-se pela participação efetiva da comunidade educativa, através de instâncias colegiadas e da elaboração, execução e avaliação do projeto político pedagógico e nos demais processos decisórios da escola. Foi partindo deste pressuposto que o presente trabalho de pesquisa foi realizado no contexto de três escolas da rede pública estadual da cidade de Criciúma, e tem como objetivo principal analisar o papel da gestão escolar na perspectiva da educação democrática. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de abordagens qualitativas, através de entrevistas, em que foram pesquisados 03 (três) diretores, com vistas a responder ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: Qual o papel da gestão escolar na perspectiva da educação democrática? A metodologia utilizada neste estudo classifica a pesquisa como exploratória e descritiva de natureza qualitativa, favorecendo mais informações sobre o assunto de maneira a compreender melhor o tema. A análise das entrevistas foi categorizada da seguinte maneira: perfil acadêmico e profissional, gestão escolar, gestão democrática participativa; o papel do gestor escolar. Em decorrência das respostas obtidas por meio das entrevistas, constatou-se que os gestores em sua prática, assumem a concepção de gestão democrática e que a mesma se consolida na participação efetiva de todos os partícipes da comunidade educativa e cabe ao gestor trabalhar em conjunto com seus professores, com vistas a colaborar com a melhoria do processo ensino aprendizagem e dessa maneira qualificar os processos de gestão escolar.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Gestão escolar.

Published: June 2019

O presente estudo realiza uma reflexão acerca do planejamento de ensino na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), com o objetivo de verificar como as professoras dessa modalidade de ensino planejam suas aulas. A investigação ocorreu a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com duas professoras que atuam na EJA na rede municipal de educação da cidade de Içara/SC. A análise qualitativa dos dados fundamentou-se em autores como Freire (1989), Libâneo (1993), Luckesi (1994), Vasconcellos (1995; 2000), bem como em Leis Federais. Os resultados apontam para a relevância do ato de planejar na elaboração de práticas educativas. Entretanto, a partir das falas das docentes, percebeu-se a necessidade de um maior aprofundamento em relação ao tema. Cabe, pois, aos gestores da EJA, o desafio de oportunizar um programa de formação continuada para os profissionais que atuam nessa modalidade.PALAVRAS CHAVE: Planejamento.

Published: June 2019

É de suma importância discutir sobre um dos problemas mais frequentes em sala de aula, o qual é difícil para os docentes reconhecerem e lidarem; os alunos que apresentam o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção/Hiperatividade – TDAH. A verdade é que muitas dificuldades são encontradas em relação a esse transtorno, uma das principais dificuldades é no seu processo de letramento. Com isso, o presente artigo apresenta como problemática o modo como um aluno do ensino fundamental, que apresenta no laudo médico o TDAH, desenvolve seu processo de letramento por meio da escrita. E o objetivo geral que norteará esta pesquisa é a análise do processo de letramento por meio da escrita de um aluno com diagnóstico de TDAH. Sendo assim, o presente artigo abordará o que é o TDAH e quais são as suas implicações biológicas no processo de aprendizagem, e buscará compreender as dificuldades encontradas no seu processo de letramento. A metodologia escolhida para este estudo é uma pesquisa de campo com instrumento de análise documental, foi analisado o texto de uma criança com TDAH. A pesquisa foi realizada na casa da criança e foi constituída por três etapas. A primeira foi feita a leitura de uma parte do livro, foi escolhida de maneira aleatória; em seguida, Enzo teve que contar oralmente a história e, por último, escrevê-la em uma folha. Percebeu-se que o TDAH realmente causa implicações biológicas no processo de aprendizagem e, principalmente, na escrita das crianças que possuem esse transtorno.PALAVRAS CHAVE: TDAH. Escrita.

I'm Fun, Too! by J. Fenske
Authors: Strouk Jack
Published: June 2019

Fenske, Jonathan.  I’m Fun, Too!. Scholastic Inc., 2018.

The children’s book, I’m Fun, Too!, by Jonathan Fenske, is a feel-good book for younger children, teaching life lessons about how each person is special in their own way.

The illustrations are done with Lego® characters, which can encourage students to connect with the book if they like using Lego®. This picture book’s target audience is primary students and early learners as there is vocabulary that emphasizes learning about feelings and teaches lessons about sharing and self-worth. It is written in the form of a large comic and has comical aspects to it that will engage students through the colours and funny illustrations. The speech bubbles give the feel of a Lego® comic, making the book more dynamic.

This book would be effective at introducing to children how to express their feelings. The Lego® theme creates a setting, where having fun is explored. Younger readers would enjoy the colourful illustrations and the funny aspects of the book, while consequently learning about positive communication. I would recommend this book to students who are in Kindergarten and the first grade. The diction is simplistic, yet also educational, teaching productive ways for kindergarten students to express their emotions and feelings.

Julian is a Mermaid by J. Love
Authors: Marriott Emily
Published: June 2019

Love, Jessica. Julian is a Mermaid. Candlewick Press, 2018.

Jessica Love’s first book, Julian is a Mermaid, lives up to her last name: it is a book about love. Julian, a young boy, dreams of being a mermaid. He and his abuela (Spanish for grandmother) go swimming every weekend and on the way home, Julian watches women in their mermaid dresses on the subway. He dreams of becoming a mermaid too, and in the end (spoiler), although he worries about his abuela’s reaction to him dressing up as a mermaid, she embraces it and takes him out to what looks like a mermaid parade.

Love does not give the reader a lot of text, but the book is very easy to follow, and the images draw us in to what Julian is thinking and feeling. The muted colours used by Love for background images allows the focus to be drawn to the story itself and what Julian is both experiencing and imagining. The illustrations show us the feelings of the characters. Love manages to capture subtle body language to portray Julian’s emotions, such as him grabbing his arm in embarrassment when he is caught dressing up like a mermaid. The images remind one of the ocean, drawing us in to look deeper.

The book reminds us that gender norms can be broken, and that anyone can be a mermaid. It is a hopeful story about love transcending normative ways of being.

Children will benefit from reading this book as it will remind them that imaginations do not need to be constrained by strictly defined identity roles. Imagining possibilities of identities allows children to feel comfortable exploring identity.

Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Emily Marriott
Evaluation of the marginal accuracy of provisional restorations made of acrylic resins
Authors: Pereira Ísis Franco , Lima Emilena Maria Castor Xisto
Published: June 2019

Aim: To evaluate the marginal accuracy of provisional crowns made with acrylics resins and to identify the surface(s) with the highest marginal discrepancy. Methods: A direct technique was used to fabricate 96 provisional restorations with 8 materials: Dencrilay, Dencôrlay, Dencôr, Vipicor, Duralay, Resinlay Speed, Refine Bright and Alike (n=12). The provisional crowns were made on a prepared molar-shaped metal die with a vinyl polysiloxane impression as a matrix. Marginal discrepancy of provisional restorations was analyzed at buccal, lingual, mesial and distal surfaces of metal die finish line in a stereomicroscope lupe at 100X. The images obtained were transferred to the Corel Draw X7 program and the distances from the cervical margins of the specimen to the reference lines were measured vertically. Comparisons were made with 1-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test (p <0.05). Results: The Alike resin exhibited the lowest marginal discrepancy (0.018 mm) and was significantly different from the Dencôrlay (0.037 mm), Filter Bright (0.034 mm), Duralay (0.033 mm) and Vipicor (0.032) resins. The buccal surface showed the highest marginal discrepancy (0.040 mm) compared to those of other surfaces (distal 0.029mm, lingual 0.028mm and mesial 0.024mm). Conclusion: The marginal adaptation of all materials and surfaces tested in this study were within a clinical acceptable limit. The Alike resin showed the best performance compared to Dencôrlay, Refine Bright, Duralay, and Vipicor resins. The buccal surface showed the highest marginal discrepancy than those of the other tested surfaces.

Published: June 2019

There is no consensus about the amount of primer inserted into the cavity. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the amount of primer used on dentin microtensile bond strength (µTBs), nanoleakage and marginal sealing, following thermomechanical aging. Methods: 48 human third molars were selected and a box-shaped class I cavity was constructed to maintain enamel margins. Teeth were randomly assigned to 6 experimental groups (n=8). For the bonding protocols of the restorative procedure, two adhesive systems were used: three-step etch-and-rinse and two-step self-etch. Epoxy resin replicas of the occlusal surface were made, and the specimens were submitted to thermomechanical aging. Newer replicas were obtained after thermomechanical aging, and marginal adaptation was observed using SEM. To obtain sections (0.7 x 0.7 mm) for testing at a tension of 0.5 mm/min, teeth were serially sectioned in the buccallingual direction, parallel to the occlusal surface. Failure mode was then obtained. For nanoleakage evaluation, one section of each tooth was immersed in AgNO3 and evaluated using SEM. The μTBs data were submitted to a two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α= 0.05) Results: One drop of primer promoted higher µTBs than two or three drops. Besides, the three-step etch-and-rinse promoted greater μTBs (19.78) than the two-step self-etch adhesive (12.23). The increase in the amount of primer was directly proportional to the increase of infiltration. All groups exhibited more gaps after thermomechanical aging. Conclusion: Using an excess of primer is not recommended because it reduces the μTBs and forms an unsatisfactory hybrid layer.

Published: June 2019

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate oral and systemic conditions in morbidly obese patients with and without metabolic syndrome (MS) prior to bariatric surgery. Methods: One hundred patients were included and equally divided into two groups: G1 - with MS (n = 50) and G2 - without MS (n = 50). MS was diagnosed in patients presenting at least three of five signs: abdominal obesity, high triglyceride level, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level, hypertension, and altered fasting glycemia. Variables analyzed included the patients’ age, sex, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and number of missing teeth. Both BMI and WHR were used to evaluate the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (RCVD). Mann-Whitney, Chi-squared, t test, hierarchical multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression models were used in statistical analyses (p<0.05). Results: There were no group-wise differences in sex (p=0.631) and BMI (p=0.200); however, the WHR (p=0.009), age (p=0.0001), and number of missing teeth (p=0.0003) were higher in G1. Obese patients with MS who were candidates for bariatric surgery presented higher RCVD than obese patients without MS (p=0.019). Binary logistic regression revealed patient age [adjusted OR=1.05, 95% CI=1.00-1.11, p=0.042] and number of missing teeth [adjusted OR=1.17, 95% CI=1.04-1.31, p=0.013] to be significant predictors of MS. Conclusion: Morbidly obese patients with MS had worse oral and systemic conditions than those without MS, regarding WHR, RCDV and number of missing teeth.
Paisagens “sócio-sexuais” de Brasília
Authors: Teixeira Marcelo Augusto de Almeida
Published: June 2019

A partir dos enlaces da Teoria Queer com a Sociologia e a Geografia das Sexualidades e Arquitetura, o artigo analisa o caso da avenida W3 Norte, em Brasília, como um exemplo de “paisagem sócio-sexual”, implicada na construção de subjetividades, corporalidades, sexualidades e imaginário sexual urbano. Analisa também a W3 de acordo com a “Teoria dos Mercados Sexuais”, como participante de um mercado mais amplo estruturado pelo Plano Piloto de Brasilia, com repercussões na vida sexual de individuos e grupos. Em uma cidade popularmente acusada de ser deserta à noite, a W3 Norte torna-se não só um local de vida erótica em Brasília, mas também de vida urbana e questionadora de fronteiras espaciais e identitárias, de gêneros e orientações sexuais.
Brasília
Authors: Segawa Hugo Massaki
Published: June 2019

O tempo é o condutor deste ensaio. De uma Brasília ainda no canteiro ao seu cinquentenário. Reporta o impacto da empreitada de Juscelino Kubitschek repercutindo na música, no cinema, na imprensa, até em quadrinhos, em uma estratégia governamental nada ingênua. Amostras de como se lidou com expectativas e a cumplicidade da cultura popular, bem como da alta cultura, demovendo escritores e intelectuais como Adolfo Bioy Casares, Jean-Paul Sartre e Simone de Beauvoir, John dos Passos, Gilberto Freyre, Clarice Lispector. E a crítica especializada com Man- fredo Tafuri e Francesco Dal Co, Robert Hughes, Kenneth Frampton, Alan Hess, James Holston e Frederico de Holanda, entre outros. Trata da passagem de um mito da modernização para a realidade dos paradoxos e das desigualdades, bem como a mudança das percepções de uma cidade em seu começo tida até como natimorto. Reflete sobre a permanência de juízos cristali- zados em seu nascimento, como se a cidade fosse uma eterna criança, ou um adolescente pro- blemático, precocemente envelhecido. Focalizando transformações, busca caracterizar expec- tativas e frustrações sobre uma utopia que que não se realizou. E no lugar do sonho, a reinven- ção de uma cidade. E alertar para a necessidade da historiografia da arquitetura e do urbanismo se reinventar de tempos em tempos.
Análise de um livro didático de Geometria plana apoiada na hermenêutica de profundidade
Authors: Cury Fernando Guedes
Published: June 2019

O artigo apresenta resultados da análise de um livro muito usado no ensino de Geometria em cursos de Matemática no Brasil: Elementos de Geometria Plana, de João Lucas Barbosa. Nossos esforços foram direcionados pelas questões: como são organizados/estruturados os livros de Geometria Euclidiana, mais comuns, na formação de professores de matemática? e que tipo de tarefas são propostas aos seus leitores? Para tanto, valemo-nos da Hermenêutica de Profundidade como metodologia de investigação por compreendermos que o livro didático é uma “forma simbólica” (produção intencional humana). O estudo contemplou uma investigação do contexto do período de produção e de circulação da primeira edição da obra e de uma análise de sua estrutura, com destaque para uma classificação das tarefas ali propostas. Percebemos fortes laços da obra com ideias características do Movimento da Matemática Moderna, como a supervalorização do ensino pautado na construção lógico-dedutiva, notadamente, pela grande proposição de exercícios voltadas a demonstrações.
Um “cálculo para ensinar” no Compendio de Pedagogia de Braulio Cordeiro (1874)
Authors: Maciel Viviane Barros
Published: June 2019

O texto busca caracterizar elementos de um saber profissional, a partir de orientações para o ensino de cálculo em um manual: o Compêndio de Pedagogia de Braulio Cordeiro (1874). Para isso o texto se amparou em autores que defendem que a transformação de uma informação em conhecimento se dá por processos e naqueles que colocam o saber como tema central nos estudos das profissões do ensino e da formação. O processo é estudado por três etapas: coleta de informações; análise de conhecimentos e sistematização e análise de saberes. Desse modo, que “cálculo para ensinar” pode ser sistematizado, a partir da análise das orientações dadas ao professor, no manual de Braulio Cordeiro (1874)? Por meio da análise do manual se verifica diretivas para objetivação de um saber no ensino de cálculo escrito da adição e subtração escrita; no ensino do cálculo mental de multiplicação e divisão (com uso de operações equivalentes) e numeração falada com a finalidade de agilizar a resolução dessas operações.
Bridged Nucleic Acids Reloaded
Authors: Soler-Bistué Alfonso , Zorreguieta Angeles , Tolmasky Marcelo E.
Published: June 2019

Oligonucleotides are key compounds widely used for research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The rapid increase in oligonucleotide-based applications, together with the progress in nucleic acids research, led to the design of nucleotide analogs that when being part of these oligomers enhance their efficiency, bioavailability, or stability. One of the most useful nucleotide analogs are the first-generation bridge nucleic acids (BNA), also known as locked nucleic acids (LNA), which were used in combination with ribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleotides, or other analogs to construct oligomers with diverse applications. However, there is still room to improve their efficiency, bioavailability, stability, and, importantly, toxicity. A second generation BNA, BNANC (2'-O,4'-aminoethylene bridged nucleic acid), has been recently made available. Oligomers containing these analogs not only showed less toxicity when compared to LNA-containing compounds but in some cases also exhibited higher specificity. Although there are still few applications where BNANC-containing compounds were researched, the results are very promising warranting more efforts in incorporating these analogs for other applications. Furthermore, newer BNA compounds will be introduced in the near future offering great hope to oligonucleotide-based fields of research and applications.
eIF-Three to Tango: Emerging Functions of Translation Initiation Factor eIF3 in Protein Synthesis and Disease
Authors: Wolf Dieter A. , Lin Yingying , Duan Haoran , Cheng Yabin
Published: June 2019

Studies over the past three years have substantially expanded the involvements of eIF3 in mRNA translation. It now appears that this multi-subunit complex is involved in every possible form of mRNA translation, controlling every step of protein synthesis from initiation to elongation, termination and quality control in positive as well as negative fashion. Through the study of eIF3, we are beginning to appreciate protein synthesis as a highly integrated process coordinating protein production with protein folding, subcellular targeting, and degradation. At the same time, eIF3 subunits appear to have specific functions that probably vary between different tissues and individual cells. Considering the broad functions of eIF3 in protein homeostasis, it comes as little surprise that eIF3 is increasingly implicated in major human diseases and first attempts at therapeutically targeting eIF3 have been undertaken. Much remains to be learned, however, about subunit- and tissue-specific functions of eIF3 in protein synthesis and disease and their regulation by environmental conditions and posttranslational modifications.

Published: June 2019

Background:

To facilitate the interpretation of numerical patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scales, concepts such as the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) have been introduced. Currently, no PASS thresholds have been established for the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) after total knee arthroplasty. The aims of the current study were to define PASS thresholds for the KOOS subscales and several other generic and knee-specific PROMs at 1 and 3 years after total knee arthroplasty using data from an international, multicenter clinical outcome study of a modern, well-performing implant system.

Methods:

The study cohort consisted of 499 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty from an international, multicenter study. At 1 and 3 years after a total knee arthroplasty, patients completed the KOOS, EuroQoL 5-dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3L), EuroQol visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), and numerical rating scales (NRS) for knee-related pain and satisfaction. PASS thresholds were calculated at each follow-up interval using 3 anchor-based approaches, using patient-reported satisfaction as the anchor.

Results:

According to our satisfaction anchor, 302 (78.9%) of 383 responding patients were satisfied at 1 year, and 242 (80.4%) of 301 responding patients were satisfied at 3 years. PASS thresholds were 84.5 points at 1 year and 87.5 points at 3 years for KOOS pain, 80.5 points at 1 year and 84.0 points at 3 years for KOOS symptoms, 83.0 points at 1 year and 87.5 points at 3 years for KOOS activities of daily living, 66.0 points at 1 year and 66.0 points at 3 years for KOOS quality of life, 83.0 points at 1 year and 90.5 points at 3 years for EQ-VAS, 0.80 point at 1 year and 0.80 point at 3 years for EQ-5D, and 1.8 points at 1 year and 1.8 points at 3 years for NRS pain.

Conclusions:

The current study is the first, to our knowledge, to propose PASS thresholds for the KOOS subscales at 1 and 3 years after total knee arthroplasty and contributes to PASS literature on other common PROMs. These findings will provide a useful reference for future total knee arthroplasty outcome studies and will help to determine what patients consider to be satisfactory operations.

Atypical Radiographic Features of Aggressive Vertebral Hemangiomas
Authors: Wang Ben , Zhang Lihua , Yang Shaomin , Han Songbo , Jiang Liang , Wei Feng , Yuan Huishu , Liu Xiaoguang , Liu Zhongjun
Published: June 2019

Background:

Vertebral hemangioma (VH) is one of the most common benign spinal tumors and can be aggressive in some cases. While most aggressive VHs have typical radiographic features, including vertical striations, a honeycomb appearance, and/or a “polka-dot sign” in computed tomography (CT) scans, cases with atypical features might complicate diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the range and frequency of these atypical features.

Methods:

In this retrospective study, to identify the typical and atypical features of aggressive VH, pretreatment CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were reviewed retrospectively by 1 radiologist and 1 orthopaedic surgeon. Percutaneous biopsies were performed to confirm the VH in atypical cases.

Results:

A total of 95 patients with aggressive VHs were treated in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2017. Thirty-four (36%) of the lesions showed at least 1 atypical radiographic feature: 16 patients (17%) had a vertebral compression fracture, 11 patients (12%) had expansive and/or osteolytic bone destruction without a honeycomb appearance and/or “polka-dot sign”, 11 patients (12%) had obvious epidural osseous compression of the spinal cord, 12 patients (13%) had involvement of >1 segment, 9 patients (10%) had a VH centered in the pedicle and/or lamina, and 8 patients (8%) had atypical MRI signals. Forty-three patients underwent percutaneous biopsies, which had an accuracy of 86%.

Conclusions:

Based on radiographic analysis, aggressive VH can be classified as typical or atypical. More than one-third of aggressive VH lesions may have at least 1 atypical feature. CT-guided biopsies are indicated for these atypical cases.
Total Knee Arthroplasty After High Tibial Osteotomy Results in Excellent Long-Term Survivorship and Clinical Outcomes
Authors: Chalmers Brian P. , Limberg Afton K. , Tibbo Meagan E. , Perry Kevin I. , Pagnano Mark W. , Abdel Matthew P.
Published: June 2019

Background:

Some prior reports of total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy have shown high rates of aseptic loosening. As such, the goal of this study was to analyze the outcomes of contemporary total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy, with particular emphasis on survivorship free from aseptic loosening, any revision, and any reoperation; complications; radiographic results; and clinical outcomes.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed 207 patients who underwent 231 total knee arthroplasties using cemented prostheses after high tibial osteotomy from 2000 to 2012 through our total joint registry: 87% were after a closing-wedge osteotomy and 13% were after an opening-wedge osteotomy. The mean follow-up from total knee arthroplasty was 8 years. At the time of the total knee arthroplasty, the mean age was 64 years and the mean body mass index was 31 kg/m2. The majority of total knee arthroplasties had a posterior-stabilized design (93%), and 4% had a varus-valgus constraint design. Tibial stems were utilized in 8% of cases. Bivariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to analyze risk factors for poorer survival.

Results:

At 10 years, survivorship free from aseptic loosening was 97%, survivorship free from any revision was 90%, and survivorship free from any reoperation was 85%. Fifteen patients (15 total knee arthroplasties [6%]) underwent aseptic revision, most commonly for instability (3%), aseptic loosening (2%), and periprosthetic fracture (1%). On bivariate analysis, patient age of <60 years was a significant risk factor for poorer revision-free survival (hazard ratio, 2.9; p = 0.02); on multivariate analysis, younger age was the only significant risk factor for revision (p = 0.04). There were 14 complications (6%), the most common being a manipulation under anesthesia in 9 cases (4%). No unrevised total knee arthroplasties had definitive radiographic evidence of loosening. Knee Society scores improved from a mean preoperative score of 59 points to a mean postoperative score of 93 points (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

Contemporary total knee arthroplasty with a cemented prosthesis after high tibial osteotomy demonstrated excellent long-term durability, with 10-year survivorship free from aseptic loosening of 97%. There was reliable improvement in clinical outcomes, but perfect knee balance was sometimes challenging, as reflected by a 4% prevalence of manipulation under anesthesia and a 3% prevalence of revision for instability.

Episódios relacionados à língua em interações de teletandem: implicações para a formação de professores de PLE.
Authors: Franco Gabriela Rossatto
Published: June 2019

O projeto “Teletandem e transculturalidade na interação on-line em línguas estrangeiras por webcam” (TELLES, 2011) possibilita que estudantes de universidades brasileiras interajam via Skype com alunos de universidades estrangeiras fornecendo explicações sobre a língua materna ou aquela em que são fluentes a seus parceiros. Desse modo, o presente artigo observa os episódios relacionados à língua (SWAIN; LAPKIN, 1998) emergentes nessas sessões, analisando a forma como os alunos brasileiros (professores de línguas em formação) esclarecem dúvidas sobre a língua portuguesa a seus parceiros. Metodologicamente, os dados foram analisados de acordo com a pesquisa qualitativa de caráter interpretativista. Como fundamentação teórica, este artigo se baseia nas teorias do Foco na Forma (LONG, 1991) e da Conscientização da Linguagem (HAWKINS, 1984), pois destaca a importância de que os praticantes de teletandem, futuros professores de língua estrangeira, desenvolvam uma atitude reflexiva sobre as práticas de linguagem. Os resultados mostram que o teletandem pode favorecer um contexto de discussão e reflexão a partir dos episódios relacionados à língua e, portanto, contribuir para a formação de professores de línguas, especialmente de português como língua estrangeira (PLE).
Borehole-Breathing/Kick Discriminator: Diagnostic Tool and Potential Resource for In-Situ Formation Characterization
Authors: Baldino S.. , Miska S. Z. , Ozbayoglu E. M. , Zhang J..
Published: June 2019

In most drilling environments, wellbore pressure exceeding the fracture–opening/initiation gradient often results in major fluid losses when drilling ahead and fluid returns when circulation is stopped. The phenomenon is generally referred to as wellbore breathing. Because no flow is expected when circulation is stopped, the mudflow return is more noticeable and could lead to kick misdiagnosis. To rapidly identify whether a possible influx is caused by formation breathing (or otherwise), correct interpretation and modeling of this phenomenon are paramount. The latter can be used to generate a reliable diagnostic tool for breathing discrimination, and it can also be turned into a valuable resource. Potentially, several in–situ properties of the fractured formation can be inferred with static flowback signatures and pressure–while–drilling (PWD) data. This paper shows how to use the proposed geomechanical model to generate diagnostic flowback type curves. A step–by–step procedure is then presented to discriminate the nature of the influx and to infer the fracture–network properties (damaged radius, generalized hydraulic diffusivity, average borehole breathability, and generalized total compressibility) through a type–curve matching protocol. Several field data have been analyzed to show the applicability of the proposed diagnostic tool and to validate its ability to rapidly differentiate borehole breathing from a kick.

Published: June 2019

Introduction

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium,Orientia tsutsugamushi. Given their affordability and ease of use, antibody based diagnostic assays can be important diagnostic tools for early detection of scrub typhus fever in resource poor countries like Nepal. Immunochromatography (ICT) and IgM ELISA are two of the routinely employed antibody based assays for diagnosis of Scrub typhus fever in Nepal, although the recommended gold standard diagnostic test is IgM Immunofluorescence assay (IFA). This study evaluated the InBios Scrub Typhus Detect™ Immunoglobulin M (IgM) ELISA and IgM Immunofluorescence assays in single serum sample at the time of admission.

Methodology

Study participants (1585 suspected cases), were enrolled based on acute febrile illness with suspected scrub typhus cases in central Nepal from April 2017 to March 2018. Blood sample was collected from the suspected patients of scrub typhus, presenting with acute febrile illness. IgM antibody to Orientia tsusugamushi was detected by using Scrub Typhus Detect™ Kit (In Bios International, USA) and an in-house IgM IFA (Australian Rickettsial Reference Laboratory, Geelong, Australia. The IFA assay was performed with the Gilliam, Karp, Kato strains and O. chuto antigens following the ARRL protocol.

Result

Statistical analysis of ELISA IgM results when compared to reference test, IgM IFA results demonstrated the following characteristics, sensitivity 84.0% (95%CI: 79.73%-87.68%), specificity 94.82% (95% CI: 93.43%-95.99%), positive likelihood ratio 16.21% (95% CI: 12.71%-20.67%), negative likelihood ratio 0.17% (95% CI: 0.13-0.21%), disease prevalence 22.08% (95% CI: 20.06%-24.21%), positive predictive value 82.12% (95% CI: 78.28-85.42%) and negative predictive value 95.44% (95% CI: 94.27%-96.38%) respectively.

Conclusion

The study indicated that the IgM ELISA has the sensitivity 84.0% (95% CI: 79.73%-87.68%) and specificity 94.82% (95% CI: 93.43%-95.99%). Although IgM IFA is considered the gold standard test for the diagnosis of scrub typhus cases, it is relatively expensive, requires trained personal and a microscope with fluorescence filters. Scrub typhus IgM ELISA with appropriate OD cut–off values may be the best alternative test and possible viable option for resource limited endemic countries like Nepal.
Construction of an Arabidopsis/Nicotiana inter-order graft for studies of scion-rootstock interaction
Authors: Deng Zhuying , Jiang Mengting , Wang Mi , Liang Dacheng
Published: June 2019

Background
Scion–rootstock union formation is a critical step towards functional assemblage of heterogeneous plants. However, scion-rootstock interaction often results in graft incompatibility during the process of assemblage. So far, the lack of model heterografts involving both clear genetic backgrounds and taxonomically distant species greatly impedes insights into the mechanisms underlying scion-rootstock interaction.
Results
In this report, we established an Arabidopsis (At)/Nicotiana benthamiana (Nb) heterografting system in which the model plant At and the model plant Nb for plant bioreactor was used as scion and rootstock respectively, to explore the interaction between the two model plants. Regarding to the At scion phenotypes, the At-Nb connection can be characterized into three groups: the mild-stressed, the albino and the dormant grafts. Examination of symplastic and apoplastic flow indicated that a functional inter-order grafting was established in the mild-stressed group, but not in the dormant group. What’s more, the free GFP movement in both At/At homograft and the At/Nb graft implicated that macromolecules moved across the heterograft union of the mild-stressed graft, but congealed at the union of dormant graft. These results accentuated the role of vascular connection in the establishment of compatible heterografts.
Conclusions
The present study established an inter-order model graft involving Arabidopsis and Nicotiana. The interactions from these two species resulted in three distinct grafting groups, which offer us a novel vista to explore many important issues such as grafting compatibility and biomolecule movement.
