Published: February 2024

Os mecanismos de respostas ao estresse presentes em Escherichia coli são bem conhecidos, entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre a possível adaptação homóloga e heteróloga desse microrganismo aos óleos essenciais e seus componentes majoritários. Assim, esse trabalho avaliou a capacidade de adaptação homóloga e heteróloga de E.  coli enterotoxigênica (ETEC) a concentrações subletais de óleos essenciais de cravo-da-índia, citronela e canela e ao eugenol, citral e cinamaldeído. Após a determinação das Concentrações Inibitórias Mínimas (CIM) e Bactericidas Mínimas (CBM) foi avaliada a capacidade de adaptação da bactéria. ETEC exposta a concentrações subletais (CIM/8) dos óleos e componentes majoritários desenvolveu adaptação homóloga em todos os tratamentos, com aumento das CBM em até 4 vezes. A adaptação heteróloga, avaliada utilizando-se cinamaldeído e citral, ocorreu para ambos os agentes estressores. Quando esse foi o citral as CBM aumentaram em até 4 vezes, exceto para o óleo de citronela cuja CBM permaneceu inalterada. Já quando o estressor foi o cinamaldeído, observou-se adaptação heteróloga para todos os antimicrobianos.  Dessa forma, alerta-se para a possibilidade dos óleos essenciais e componentes majoritários, quando utilizados em concentrações inadequadas, promoverem o aumento da tolerância de ETEC a esses antimicrobianos prejudicando o controle dessa bactéria na indústria alimentícia.

Vocal fold electromyography in patients with endoscopic features of unilateral laryngeal paralysis
Authors: Krasnodębska Paulina , Miaśkiewicz Beata , Szkiełkowska Agata , Skarżyński Henryk
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Electromyography (EMG) of the larynx provides information on the electrophysiological condition of laryngeal muscles and innervation. Integration of information obtained from the EMG exams with the clinical parameters as obtained by other methods for laryngeal assessment (endoscopy, perceptual and acoustic analysis, voice self-assessment) provides a multidimensional picture of dysphonia, which is of particular importance in patients with vocal fold (VF) mobility disorders accompanied by glottic insufficiency.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate laryngeal EMG records acquired in subjects with unilateral vocal fold immobilization with signs of atrophy and glottic insufficiency.

Material and methods: From the available material of 74 EMG records of patients referred for the exam due to unilateral laryngeal paralysis, records of 17 patients with endoscopic features suggestive of complete laryngeal muscle denervation were selected. The EMG study of thyroarytenoid muscles of mobile and immobile VFs was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively at rest and during volitional activity involving free phonation of vowel /e/ [ε].

Results: In all patients, the EMG records from mobile VFs were significantly different from those from immobile VFs. Despite endoscopic features of paralysis, no VF activity whatsoever was observed in as few as 2 patients so as to meet the neurophysiological definition of paralysis. In 88% of cases, electromyographic activity of the thyroarytenoid muscle was observed despite immobilization and atrophy of the vocal fold. In these patients, neurogenic type of record was observed with numerous high- -amplitude mobility units. On the basis of the results, quantitative features of EMG records indicative of paralysis and residual activity of the thyroarytenoid muscle were determined.

Conclusions: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of laryngeal EMG records provides detailed information on the condition of vocal fold muscles and innervation. EMG records of mobile vs immobile VFs differ significantly from each other. Endoscopic evaluation does not provide sufficient basis for the diagnosis of complete laryngeal muscle denervation.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Although PET/CT is effective for staging HNSCC, its impact on patient management is somewhat controversial. For this reason, we considered it necessary to carry out a study in order to verify whether PET/CT helps to improve the prognosis and treatment in patients. This study was designed to address the impact of PET-FDG imaging when used alongside CT in the staging and therapeutic management of patients with HNSCC.

Material and methods: Data was collected from 169 patients diagnosed with HNSCC with both CT and PET/CT (performed within a maximum of 30 days of each other). It was evaluated whether discrepancies in the diagnosis of the two imaging tests had impacted the treatment.

Results: The combined use of CT and PET/CT led to a change in the treatment of 67 patients, who represented 39.7% of the sample. In 27.2% of cases, it entailed a change in the type of treatment which the patient received. In 3.0% of the cases, using both diagnostic tests led to modifications of the therapeutic intention of our patients.

Conclusions: Using PET/CT in addition to the conventional imaging method in staging resulted in more successful staging and more appropriate therapeutic decision-making.

Published: February 2024

Computer science and technology development in recent years has experienced great developments. This time, some types of technology digitise almost everything related to human life, including facial recognition. In recent years, various methods for recognising human faces have developed. One of them is using the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG). On this occasion, an image processing system will be designed to recognise human faces using Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and machine learning such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). Detects the winking of the face, using computer-recognisable points in the eye area from 68 facial landmarks, so from these results, the distance between the upper and lower eyelids can be measured. If the distance (in pixels) is small enough, it can be interpreted as a wink. In addition, it is also limited by the distance of faces that can be detected to blink. In the end, if a recognised face blinks are detected, the time and date will be recorded. It will then open a solenoid lock using serial communication via Arduino Uno to become a security system. From 100 facial photos and 207 blink tests, 89.86% found that the computer could detect a "True Positive" wink. Besides, this facial recognition system's recommended tolerance parameter value is between 0.42 and 0.48.

Published: February 2024

Magnetoteluric(MT) modelling geophysics in high noise areas is a challenging task. One part is the precious data for subsurface reconstruction, the other, the noise will a priori annoy the outcome. Through simulation and an example fact in the field, these two phenomena will be discussed. The simulation will propose the ideal model without and with noise, running on the Bostick inversion. Noise varies several schemas in two types of curves. Occam and Bostick algorithms will be used to run the inversion scheme. The trade of the advantages and disadvantages is then compared to a prior model in the field where MT data and geologic cross section are available. Two scenarios are available, one is to use data with treatment using available schema, and the other is to use data by cutting off the noise contaminant segment, and finally to see the resulted through 2D modelling process. The resultant shows the model use the ideal signal without noise through inversion resulting is a better than the other with a noisy signal experiencing treatment, notably in level shallow part. The geologic cross section and gravity model is available to support these results.
Sexual favors as merchandise among very young Danish teenagers
Authors: Wilken-Jensen Charlotte
Published: February 2024

The findings of Ravn et al. in the article published in this issue of DJOG, “Exchanging intimacy for favors and nude photos among ninth graders”, are quite shocking to an experienced worker in sexual and reproductive health and rights, such as myself.
In our sexual education and contraceptive guidance used in Denmark we have moved far from the evidence-based and factual deliverance of knowledge on the body, on puberty, development of eggs and sperm, fertilization, menstrual cycles, the appearance and function of the sexual organs, to the emotional issues concerning
sexuality. We have emphasized the importance of being ready, not giving in to external pressures, for example when it comes to starting sexual experiences, or having your first partnership time with whatever sexual practice you encounter.
We have also pointed out how the undertaking of any sexual action must be preceded by the private consideration: “Am I ready for this?”, Do I want this?”, “Do I consent to this?”, Is this my desire or do I feel an outside pressure to do this?”. This pertains to oral sex, touching and manual stimulation, vaginal and rectal intercourse. No matter what kind of sexual activity it might be, it always calls for the individual to make up his or her own mind as to “Where are my boundaries here?” What do I want?” What do I consent to?”, What am I doing?”.
The article by Ravn et al. describes scenarios where the taking of nude pictures and the selling of sexual services are part of the sexual activities for quite a few of young Danish teenagers to an extent that means that we have to take that into account when dealing with sexual health and rights education at a young age and even later in life.
We have entered into a life situation where it is common to continuously take pictures of everything with our smartphones. That apparently includes pictures of our private parts with the article showing that 53% of the ninth’s graders had received and 12% had sent nude pictures on their phones. But the study does not tell us why. Are the youngsters showing off? Are they being pressured by their peers or by someone else? Are they thinking of the consequences? [abbreviated]

Theoretical approach to professional development: A review of the pedagogical process
Authors: Domínguez Romay Amelia , Keeling Alvarez Mercedes
Published: February 2024

This paper addresses professional development as a continuous pedagogical process based on theoretical and methodological foundations derived from research in the educational context. It focuses on the relationship of professional development with other categories such as instruction, education, preparation, training and performance. The paper stresses the importance of the aspired education to be integral, with several dimensions to be developed. An integral professional must be able to think, feel, value, believe and act, which is reflected in his or her performance in educational practice. Education should prepare individuals both for life in general and for their insertion into the world of work, which is the very essence of the educational process. Professional development, as a pedagogical process, is organized and consciously directed towards a single objective: the integral formation of the personality to develop effectively in its various contexts of action. This process includes various organizational forms, such as continuing education and postgraduate courses, workshops, seminars and conferences, among others. The paper emphasizes that in order to achieve this process successfully, it is essential to previously identify the needs and demands for improvement through an initial diagnosis. This diagnosis serves as a starting point for the planning of pedagogical actions, their implementation, evaluation and control of the results obtained, which should be manifested in the educational environment

Objectives. Thrombosis is an increasingly recognized complication of childhood malignancy and its treatment. The incidence and etiology of pediatric cancer-related thrombosis is still not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preva- lence of common prothrombotic genetic conditions in children with cancer, the frequency of thrombosis, and the role of inher- ited thrombophilia in the development of thrombosis in a pediatric oncology population.

Patients and Methods. Forty-seven children (36 treated for hematological malignancies and 11 for solid tumors) with a median age of 8.8. years (range 0.4 – 19.3 years) were included in the study. Genetic polymorphisms of Factor V Leiden (G1691A), prothrombin G20210A, and methy- lenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction-based DNA analysis.

Results. Four (8.5%) patients were heterozygous for Factor V Leiden, 3 (6.4%) were heterozygous for prothrombin G20210A mutation, and 3 (6.4%) were homozygous for MTHFR C677T mutation. All patients had implanted central venous catheters. Four (8.5%) children had documented thrombosis, three of which were in the upper venous system. Two of the four patients with thrombosis had Factor V Leiden heterozygosity.

Conclusions. Thrombosis is an important complication of childhood cancer. The risk of thrombosis may be increased in patients with Factor V Leiden. In the absence of consensus guidelines, our results support the recommendation for thrombophilia screening in children with cancer.

PESSOAS TRANSEXUAIS E TRAVESTIS E O MERCADO DE TRABALHO
Authors: Da Silva Esther
Published: February 2024

O preconceito e falta de inclusão em relação às pessoas transexuais é muito recorrente e explícito no Brasil. Na lista de países com práticas violentas e de índice de mortalidade em relação às pessoas transexuais e travestis, o país se apresenta como o 14° que tem elevado, sobremaneira, os números de mortes em relação a estas pessoas. As dificuldades que elas atravessam se inicia desde a infância e culmina na vida adulta, provocando diversos tipos de práticas de violência, entre as quais o destaque para o bullying dentro/fora da escola. Isto também reflete no mercado de trabalho, devido às dificuldades de emprego onde se observa a falta de respeito à alteridade e dignidade destas pessoas. Este artigo, tem como objetivo refletir sobre a dificuldade de empregabilidade para pessoas transexuais e travestis no mercado de trabalho da cidade de Pocinhos –PB e os desafios de pessoas transexuais e travestis na localidade para acessibilidade trabalhista. Nossa proposta é mostrar que diante das ações violentas que cotidianamente afloram em relação a este segmento social, isso se relaciona  diretamente na inserção e seguridade trabalhista, mediante a exclusão gerada em função da discriminação e preconceito. Nossa abordagem metodológica está ancorada numa pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória onde buscamos pesquisar junto ao empresariado da cidade de Pocinhos sobre o contrato de trabalho de pessoas transexuais e travestis em seus estabelecimentos. Os resultados mostram que não há pessoa transexual no comércio local e que apenas duas pessoas contratariam alguém transexual, os demais disseram que não contratariam, pois não queriam afastar a clientela. Este tipo de discurso inviabiliza o acesso ao mundo do trabalho e suas seguridades. Diante do que foi citado, é possível concluir que o preconceito dessas pessoas no mercado de trabalho é algo muito visível e que necessita ser combatido. Consideramos a partir da pesquisa realizada e das reflexões elaboradas que é necessário não apenas o combate a este tipo de prática de exclusão que fere a dignidade humana, mas que sejam elaboradas e efetivadas legislações que possam da seguridade com atitudes respeitosas para as pessoas transexuais e travestis.
