Published: November 2018

A key decision in field management is whether or not to acquire information to either improve project economics or reduce uncertainties. A widely spread technique to quantify the gain of information acquisition is Value of Information (VoI). However, estimating the possible outcomes of future information without the data is a complex task. While traditional VoI estimates are based on a single average value, the Chance of Success (CoS) methodology works as a diagnostic tool, estimating a range of possible outcomes that vary because of reservoir uncertainties. The objective of this work is to estimate the CoS of a 4D seismic before having the data, applied to a complex real case (Norne field). The objective is to assist the decision of whether, or not, to acquire further data. The methodology comprises the following steps: uncertainty quantification, selection of Representative Models (RMs), estimation of the acquisition period, production strategy optimization and, finally, quantification of the CoS. The estimates use numerical reservoir simulation, economic analysis, and uncertainty evaluation. We performed analyses considering perfect and imperfect information. We aim to verify the increment in economic return when the 4D data identifies the closest-to-reality reservoir model. While the traditional expected VoI calculation provides only an average value, this methodology has the advantage of considering the increase in the economic return due to reservoir uncertainties, characterized by different RMs. Our results showed that decreased reliability of information affected the decision of which production strategy to select. In our case, information reliability less than 70% is insufficient to change the perception of the uncertain reservoir and consequently decisions. Furthermore, when the reliability reached around 50%, the information lost value, as the economic return became similar to that of the case without information acquisition.
INCREASE OF INFORMATION CONTENT WHEN TESTING THE METHOD OF RING LOADING

Published: November 2018

In the construction of essential structures for the determination of the mechanical properties of large-scale heterogeneous fractured rock soils, people usually rely on the results of more representative large-scale field testing when assigning expected performances. Such large-scale field testing is conducted with the help of concrete stamps or rock pillars, usually with a square in plan outsole, for compression and flat shear, in galleries or in open sites. However, there are drawbacks: the complexity in the implementation and interpretation of the testing data, low informativeness, etc. Due to the rectangular shape of the stamp, a very uneven stress state is implemented at its base during shear. In order to eliminate these drawbacks in 1979 V.L. Kubetskiy offered the method of the ring loading, in which the square base of a stamp (a pillar) was replaced by a ringone, and the shift was carried out by applying a torque load to the stamp. This gives the possibility to realize various stress-strain state in the soil massif, to provide a more uniform contact stress diagram at its base, to obtain technological advantages and additional information during the experiment and to interpret the experimental data more reasonably and reliably using more modern models. Adescription of the method, loading schemes, developed field and laboratory equipment, results and interpretation of field experiments using isotropic and transversally isotropic soil models is given. The ways of method modernization using inventory installations are described. Taking into consideration that the common trend of improving the methods of geomechanical testings is aimed to increase the accuracy and informativity and at the same time to decrease the labor intensity, the method of ring loading which is being improving nowadays is still competitive.
SHOOTING BUILDING FACADES USING REMOTELY PILOTED VEHICLE

Published: November 2018

Facades survey in urban agglomerations has its own characteristics. Constrained conditions for performing geodetic measurements, work on shooting facades from the ground have many dead zones,, with vertical angles exceeding 45 °, which can lead to a decrease in the accuracy of measurement results. This entails the need to take into account a number of instrumental errors of the electronic total station when performing surveys with a semi-receiver. The use of a geodetic measurement method is not always possible due to the lack of an acceptable installation location for an electronic total station, for example, when monitoring buildings, dams, bridges, etc. Under these conditions, it is reasonable to use aerial photography from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) rotary type — quadcopter. The software products intended for processing data from UAV makes it possible to obtain both orthophotoplans and more promising pseudo-spatial models with a real image of objects that can be observed and measured on a monitor screen - three-dimensional realistic models of buildings. The article presents the results of the facade survey of the structure under construction, obtained by a geodetic method using an electronic total station and photogrammetric method using а DJI Phantom 4 pro unmanned aerial vehicle. The errors of obtaining the coordinates of the reference points necessary for photogrammetric processing are considered. The technology of performance of works realized by the photogrammetric method is given and calculation of the optimal parameters of aerial photography is resulted. The results of deviations from the design position of the parts of the facade obtained by the orthophotomap are given. The maximum deviation value of the angle of the window opening in the plane of the facade was 102 mm, which made it possible to quickly identify rough construction errors. Deviations less than 25 mm accounted for 85% of the measurements made. A comparative assessment of two methods showed a number of advantages of using UAVs for facade surveys compared to the traditional geodetic survey by an electronic total station.

Published: November 2018

The paper discusses the opportunities of remote sensing data application as one of the main sources of information for monitoring river floods. Effective operation of flood forecasting systems requires reliable real-time data on inundation areas for timely calibration and verification of the used hydrodynamic models. The opportunity to obtain data from optical sensors might be limited because of dense cloud cover. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques are increasingly used today due to ability to operate independently of the surface illumination and the state of cloud cover receiving high spatial resolution data in near real-time mode. An important feature of SAR from space today is the increase in the number of freely distributed space data, in particular — images from Sentinel satellites developed by the European Space Agency. For instance, for the territory of Russia Sentinel-1 performs SAR imaging with 2–3 days coverage frequency. Within the framework of the project carried out by the authors, the research area is the city of Velikiy Ustuyg (Russia) located at the confluence of rivers Suhona and Ug. To identify flooded areas the RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 images classification based on thresholding was carried out in open-source software. The visualization of the results was performed on the basis of information analytical system “Prostor”. The results of SAR data processing were compared with contours obtained on the basis of the calculation of the NDWI index from optical data from the Sentinel-2 and Resurs-P satellites. According to the spatial resolution of the data and the selected processing technology, it is possible to achieve high accuracy of flood mapping in open areas with low urbanization. The result confirms that SAR data can be successfully applied for operational flood forecasting.

Тhis study aims to evaluate features of the formation and sources of the basin component of the sediment yield during flash floods. Measuring campaigns were conducted in the weakly disturbed section of the Tsanyk River basin, located in the Greater Sochi area in the foothill-lowland zone of the Caucasus Black Sea coast. We used a set of field and calculation methods, including sediment dating with application of 137Cs, pin method, Yang's method, erosion modeling and others techniques for determining the rate of denudation and deposition processes. We investigated the processes of local and long-distance sediment movement. It was established that the rate of creep is 2-2.2 cm/year, the intensity of scree processes varies depending on the rock types in the range 1-3.5 cm/year. The processes of sheet erosion and linear erosion contribute to the movement of part of the eroded material from the catchment area to the river channel. Four types of slopes and slope catchments are distinguished according to the features of a sediment delivery from the catchment area to the river channel. The average annual sedimentation rate in the gully fan is amounted to 2.3 cm/year since 1986. At the same time, on the basis of studying the accumulative deposits of the gully fan, including the content of the 137Cs isotope in the different layers, it was established that the main sources of sediments are material produced by gully erosion, scree processes and slopes settling. 5-6 episodes of catastrophic sediment removal occurred in this particular slope catchment for 30-year period. The ratio between a sediment removal from the slope catchments to the river channel and the measured sediment yield in the Tsanyk River during the rain floods of low repeatability makes it possible to state that the basin component of sediment yield is at least 75% of the total. Information about the ratio of slopes and slope catchments of various types within the small river basins of the subtropical belt of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus should be taken into account when calculating engineering structures for protecting infrastructure facilities from the impact of flash floods or mudflows.

Published: November 2018

The design, synthesis, and properties of a new gadolinium-based copper-responsive MRI contrast agents are presented in detail here. The sensor (GdL1) has high selectivity for copper ions and exhibits a 47% increase in r1 relaxivity upon binding to 1 equivalent of Cu2+ in aqueous buffer. Interestingly, in the presence of physiological levels of human serum albumin (HSA), the r1 relaxivity is amplified even further up to 270%. Additional spectroscopic and XAS studies show that Cu2+ is coordinated by two carboxylic acid groups and the single amine group on an appended side-chain of GdL1 and forms a ternary complex with HSA (GdL1-Cu2+-HSA). T1-weighted in vivo imaging demonstrates that GdL1 can detect basal, endogenous labile copper(II) ions in living mice. This offers a unique opportunity to explore the role of copper ions in the development and progression of neurological diseases such as Wilson disease.

Published: November 2018

Singlet oxygen (1O2), a widely used reactive oxygen species (ROS) in industry and biomedical applications, plays a fundamental role throughout nature. We report a novel method to generate 1O2selectively and efficiently through copper-based Fenton chemistry under circumneutral conditions enhanced by chloride as co-catalyst, with reactivity completely different than that observed in classical iron-based Fenton chemistry. The mechanism of its formation was elucidated through the kinetic studies of orthogonally reactive reporter molecules, i.e., singlet oxygen sensor green, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, and phenol, and selective ROS quenchers. This method selectively generates 1O2in situneither relying on photosensitization nor resulting in side reactions, and together with the mechanistic understanding of the Cu-Fenton reaction, not only opens new possibilities in many industries, such as organic synthesis and antimicrobial treatments, but also provides insight into Cu and H2O2containing chemical, environmental, and biological systems.

Published: November 2018

La presentación de tromboembolismo pulmonar de alto riesgo en paciente con evento isquémico cerebral agudo, a pesar de ser infrecuente, implica alto riesgo de morbimortalidad y un reto para el clínico respecto a su manejo. La trombolisis como manejo inicial está contraindicada dado el riesgo incrementado de sangrado intracraneal, por tal motivo deben plantearse otras terapias alternativas de reperfusión. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 45 años con cuadro clínico de seis meses de evolución dado por cefalea en quien se diagnosticó aneurisma del segmento cavernoso de la arteria carótida interna izquierda, sometiéndose a embolización y presentando migración de múltiples trombos desde posición proximal de stent, con trombolisis fallida y desarrollo de isquemia hemisférica ipsilateral; quien posteriormente presenta tromboembolismo pulmonar de alto riesgo, manejado mediante tromboaspiración y trombolisis farmacológica selectiva guiada por catéter e implantación de filtro de vena cava inferior. La trombolisis farmacológica selectiva guiada por catéter constituye la estrategia de reperfusión con la mejor relación riesgo/beneficio en el contexto de isquemia cerebral aguda y tromboembolismo pulmonar de alto riesgo. Asimismo, es posible utilizar otras alternativas para disminuir el riesgo de recurrencia, tales como los filtros venosos y la compresión neumática intermitente.

Altre presenze della Pioggia nel pineto nel Novecento e oltre
Authors: Lavezzi Gianfranca
Published: November 2018

The paper revolves around the well-known topic of the parodic remake of La pioggia nel pineto. Some new and unexpected elements are added to this subject, going from literature to music, from Paolo Buzzi and Montale to Armando Gill and Jovanotti. More finely, La pioggia sulla Fiera, poem composed by Alberto Cavaliere (who also wrote the successful Chimica in versi, in 1921), where the Dannunzian rain is transferred to Milan, is taken into consideration. There, the rain pours down on the XXXV Fiera Campionaria’s opening ceremony (1957), at the same time shaking flags and soaking different authorities, which are mentioned in the poem – sometimes in rhyme – as parts of a sharp and brilliant divertissement.

Comisso vs d’Annunzio
Authors: Crotti Ilaria
Published: November 2018

Giovanni Comisso, after d’Annunzio passed away, proposed to place his artistic figure in the framework of the contemporary critical horizon, selecting a very peculiar formal line, distinguished by ‘clarity’, in order to measure himself and, together, to take the necessary distances from the teaching of the ‘Vate’. In the second part of this paper, a Comissian critical essay is published, which appeared in the early ’60s in Il Mondo of Pannunzio and has remained in the shadows so far; in it we summarise an exemplary historiographical and stylistic balance of the Italian narrative between the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, re-reading in perspective and under another way d’Annunzio’s function.

The main purpose of the experiment is to use green synthesis method for silver nanoparticles (SNP) fabrication using phytochemical and functional groups inherent in aqueous leaf extract of Ocimum sanctum and Ocimum basilicum for formulation of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/ Glycerine film. The SNP synthesis reaction is performed under sun condition and change in colour from light brown to dark brown was the initial indication, observed for nanoparticles synthesis. The 95 mL of 0.001 M AgNO3 is mixed with 5 mL of leaf extract and reaction performed under Sun light at alkaline pH 8 was found efficient to produced stable NP. The synthesized SNP are mixed with (10%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200% and 250%), polyethylene glycol (PEG):glycerine (G) in 1:1 ratio to form a film. The UV-spectroscopic analysis confirms absorption at 420-430 nm for synthesized SNP. The FTIR characterization determines alkynes (terminal), 1�, 2� amines, amides, nitriles, alkynes, alkyl halides functional group from O. sanctum (OS) leaf extract and aldehydes, alkynes (terminal), alkyne, alkene, from O. basilicum (OB) leaf extract responsible for reducing and capping silver nitrate to form nanoparticles. The SEM analysis verify that the O. sanctum based nanoparticles are spherical in shape although O. basilicum based nanoparticles have bright contrast coral reef like morphology. The average zeta potential of silver nanoparticles was found to be 27.74 mV and 23.50 mV that are embedded in Ocimum sanctum-SNP/PEG and Ocimum basilicum-SNP/PEG films. Also, the average diameters of SNP in Ocimum sanctum-SNP/PEG and in Ocimum basilicum-SNP/PEG was found to be 463.2 nm and 43.0 nm. These Sun light mediated SNP shows antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureous pathogens.

An Evaluation of Listener Comprehension Indecision and Cognitive Effort When Unresolvable Ambiguity Leads to Miscommunication
Authors: Roche Jennifer M. , Zgonnikov Arkady , Morett Laura M.
Published: November 2018

Miscommunication is pervasive in conversational interactions, having short- and long-range impacts on interpersonal communication. The evaluation of the social and cognitive underpinnings of miscommunication have received relatively less attention. Here we report two experiments investigating how a listener’s cognitive effort and decision-making processes were affected by a speaker’s use of ambiguity that led to a miscommunication. Both Experiments 1 and 2 found that an environmental cue that made a miscommunication more or less salient impacted listener language processing effort. Moreover, findings from Experiment 2 indicated that listeners may develop different processing heuristics dependent upon the speaker’s use of ambiguity that led to miscommunication, exerting a significant impact on cognition and decision-making. For instance, we found that perspective taking effort and decision-making complexity metrics predict language processing effort, indicating that instances of miscommunication produced cognitive consequences of indecision, thinking, and cognitive pull. Together, these results indicate that listeners behave both reciprocally and adaptively when miscommunications occur, but the way they respond is largely dependent upon the type of ambiguity and how often it is produced by the speaker.

Introduction: To compare the efficacy of using sublingual misoprostol and manual vacuum aspiration under local anesthesia in the treatment of spontaneous incomplete miscarriage (of up to 6 to 12 weeks of pregnancy).MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study performed in Gandaki Medical College (GMC) Teaching Hospital, Pokhara on 150 patients with spontaneous incomplete miscarriage between 6 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Patients were divided into two groups: group (I) patient who took 400 μg misoprostol every four hourly for maximum of three doses, group (II) patient who underwent manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) under local anesthesia. Only 68 patients in group I and 64 patients in group II completed their follow up and were included in this study.RESULTS: The success rate of MVA under local anesthesia was 100% and misoprostol was 67.7% (p-value <0.05). Both misoprostol and MVA under local anesthesia are effective for treatment of incomplete miscarriage.CONCLUSION: Although success rate of MVA under local anesthesia is more than misoprostol, both MVA and misoprostol can be used, as an effective method of uterine evacuation in incomplete abortion of <12 weeks.Journal of Universal College of Medical SciencesVol. 6, No. 1, 2018, Page: 52-55

Introduction: A large number of hormonal, metabolic, immunologic and haematological changes occur in all organ system of female body during pregnancy. Human eye and its function are no exception to these changes.Purpose: To evaluate physiological ocular changes in various trimesters of pregnancy and to compare them amongst the three trimesters.Patients and Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study, using judgmental convenient sampling method, was done in both eyes of 120 pregnant females (40 in each trimester), with known last menstrual period, attending antenatal clinic of BPKIHS, Dharan. Women with known systemic or ocular diseases like conjunctivitis, keratitis, iridocyclitis, glaucoma, refractive error, were excluded. Demographic details of all patients were recorded and detailed ocular examination, including best corrected visual acuity, slit lamp examination, vertical and horizontal keratometry, central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure were performed and recorded. A comparison of these parameters was made amongst three trimesters.Results: Visual acuity of all the subjects was 0 logMAR. Corneal curvature, both vertical and horizontal, significantly increased towards third trimester. Central corneal thickness progressively increased from first to third trimester (p= 0.019 Right eye, 0.016 Left eye). In contrary to this, intraocular pressure significantly decreased during successive stages of pregnancy (P=0.000 both eye).Conclusion: Significant increase in corneal curvature and central corneal thickness along with, decrease in intraocular pressure occur during successive trimesters of pregnancy. All pregnant women should have routine ocular examination; changes noted, if any, should receive attention and period of gestation should be considered prior to making a diagnosis.

Background: Duane's retraction Syndrome is a congenital form of strabismus characterized by horizontal eye movement limitation and globe retraction with palpebral fissure narrowing in attempted adduction. It may be associated with co-existing ocular and systemic pathologies. Crocodile tears, or a paradoxical gustatory lacrimal reflex can be either congenital or acquired. The congenital cases typically are associated with Duane’s syndrome in most of the cases.Case: We present in our case report, uncommon case of bilateral Duane’s syndrome with bilateral crocodile tears - both of which can be assumed to be of probably central origin. Though several cases have been reported, there are very few from the Indian subcontinent. Here, we also review the literature of the syndrome with crocodile tears.Conclusion: All cases of Duane’s retraction syndrome warrant a thorough screening for coexisting ocular and systemic abnormalities. Ours is a classic report of bilateral Duane’s syndrome with bilateral congenital crocodile tears, the coexistence of these two anomalies emphasising the aetiology to be anomalous innervation occurring at central level i.e. is brain stem.

Cáncer ginecológico hereditario en la era de la medicina genómica
Authors: Sullcahuaman Allende Yasser C. , Loarte Villarreal Miluska , Torres Loarte Mariela
Published: November 2018

El cáncer es una enfermedad genética producto de la acumulación de cambios genéticos esporádicos en el tejido tumoral. Generalmente se presenta después de los 50 años. Sin embargo, un 10% a 30% de los casos ocurren antes de los 50 años, algunos tienen historia familiar de cáncer y podrían presentar cambios genéticos hereditarios que se transmiten de generación en generación y están presentes desde la concepción. El número de genes que se han identificado son más de 80 relacionados con aproximadamente 200 síndromes genéticos de predisposición al cáncer. La importancia de detectar estos síndromes en los pacientes y familias se debe a que nos permite hacer un diagnóstico preciso, predicción de los riesgos y controles específicos para cada persona y familia, evitando la enfermedad y muerte en muchos casos.
Citología anormal en mujeres menores de 30 años de diversas zonas urbanas de Perú
Authors: Laberiano Fernández Caddie Dy
Published: November 2018

Sr. Editor, El cáncer de cérvix es uno de los cánceres más prevalentes en nuestro país. Según los datos obtenidos por Globalcan, se describe un total de 4 636 nuevos casos con 1 715 muertes en el año 2012, a nivel nacional(1). Debido a la importancia de este tema, en junio del 2017 se aprobó la nueva Guía nacional de práctica clínica para la prevención y manejo del cáncer de cuello uterino. Sin embargo, es notoria la carencia de enfoque preventivo en las mujeres menores de 30 años. Se comenta en dicha guía que antes de esta edad muchas lesiones nunca se convertirán en cáncer, por lo que se darían tratamientos innecesarios, siendo ineficaz en función de costos(2).
“OH, JOSEPH! WHAT DO YE WANT?” ‘OLD’ JOSEPH IN TRADITIONAL POLISH CAROLS AND PASTORAL SONGS. THE ORDINARY SAINT
Authors: Komendzińska Anna
Published: November 2018

Święty Józef, mąż Maryi i opiekun Jezusa, jest postacią milczącą we wszystkichczterech przekazach ewangelistów. Mimo tego, a najprawdopodobniej dzięki temu – historia jegokultu w znacznej mierze czerpie z wyobrażeń apokryficznych i pobożności ludowej. Przedmiotemartykułu jest spojrzenie na św. Józefa jako na bohatera dawnych kolęd i pastorałek. W tekście podjętyzostaje m.in. problem ról, jakie odgrywa przy żłóbku św. Józef – autorka stawia pytanie, czyJózef to dobrotliwy starzec, czy też może pełen cnót wzór mężczyzny, który potrafi przedłożyć boskieplany ponad własne. Sięga także po utwory bożonarodzeniowe, w których Józef nie jest wyłączniepostacią drugoplanową. Pracę ilustrują liczne cytaty pochodzące z Kantyczek karmelitańskichopracowanych przez Barbarę Krzyżaniak oraz z antologii Staropolskie pastorałki dramatyczneopracowanej przez Jana Okonia. Autorka sięga również do niewydanych jeszcze i nieopracowanychrękopiśmiennych muzykaliów przechowywanych w Bibliotece Diecezjalnej w Sandomierzu, ponieważuważa, że nieodłącznym elementem analizy utworów o tematyce bożonarodzeniowej jest ichaspekt muzyczny.
WSZYSCY ŚWIĘCI W WIZJACH WYBRANYCH MISTYCZEK ŚREDNIOWIECZNYCH – ŚW. GERTRUDY WIELKIEJ, ŚW. BRYGIDY SZWEDZKIEJ I BŁ. DOROTY Z MĄTÓW
Authors: Kowalczyk Marta
Published: November 2018

Zagadnienia związane ze wspólnotą Wszystkich Świętych odnaleźć można w objawieniach średniowiecznych mistyczek – św. Gertrudy Wielkiej, św. Brygidy Szwedzkiej orazbł. Doroty z Mątów. Św. Gertruda Wielka podkreślała wartość wstawiennictwa wszystkich świętych, dlatego ułożyła litanię ku ich czci. Gertruda zachęcała ludzi, żeby obchodzili pamiątkę swojego chrztu, by w ten sposób odnawiać w sobie świadomość dziecka Bożego. Według Gertrudy Wielkiej ważną rolę w osiągnięciu osobistej świętości mają rozum, wolna wola i osąd sumienia, które decyduje o konkretnych wyborach i postępowaniu. W swoich pismach św. Brygida Szwedzka piętnowała to, co nieświęte, aby każdy wyraźniej rozpoznał to, co święte. Według Brygidy pamięć o wszystkich świętych jest ważna, bo towarzyszą Chrystusowi Królowi podczas sądzenia dusz i na zapowiadanym w Piśmie Świętym Sądzie Ostatecznym. Swoimi pismami św. Brygida walczyłao świętość i poprawę życia innych. Według bł. Doroty z Mątów podstawowym warunkiem na drodze ku wspólnocie Wszystkich Świętych jest przyjmowanie Komunii św., czynienie uczynków miłosiernych i modlitwa. Dla bł. Doroty ważne jest naśladowanie przykładu Maryi i świętych. Wedługbł. Doroty Chrystus woli, żeby modlitwy i prośby kierować bezpośrednio do Boga, natomiast święci mają zajmować się innymi, ważniejszymi sprawami, niż zanoszenie poszczególnych modlitw do samego Chrystusa. Według mistyczek, ludzie, którzy pragną sacrum bez lęku i z otwartością na tajemnicę świętych obcowania powinni w swoim życiu, czerpiąc z ich przeszłości, spoglądaćw przyszłość.
LA CRITICA TEOLOGICA DELL’ODIERNO UMANESIMO LAICO. PARTE SECONDA
Authors: Kopiec Adam Maksym
Published: November 2018

Il testo è la continuazionedella prima parte in cui è stato presentato l’attuale tentativo di formulare, ai tempi della crisi globale su diversi piani della vita sociale e individuale dell’uomo, un “nuovo umanesimo” del tutto laico e secolarizzato. In questa sede invece si cercherà di articolare ed esprimere la posizione dell’universo cristiano di fronte a tali proposte e di mettere in risalto gli elementi vulnerabili e pericolosamente riduttivi dell’umanesimo puramente laico ed immanente, alla luce della ragione e della fede. Inoltre si cercherà di aprire gli spazi all’eventuale elaborazione di un “nuovo umanesimo cristiano”.
CHURCHES CONCERN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: MAKING SENSE OF A NEW CHRISTIAN DIAKONIA
Authors: Oviedo Lluis
Published: November 2018

Recent years have witnessed an abundance of statements by many Christian Churches aimed at addressing environmental issues, most recently the Catholic Encyclical Laudato si’. These documents invite theological engagement, especially after becoming aware of the criticism that such proposals might raise in different social and intellectual settings. This paper tries to expose such criticism and the reasons that could discourage the Church’s environmental engagement, to stimulate a critical and dialogical stance able to move into the ongoing discussion and to answer the most pressing questions.
Le silence moderne dans « l’écriture à trou » de Valère Novarina
Authors: Li Jiaying
Published: November 2018

This article analyses the modern vision of silence and its representation in Valère Novarina’s “holed writing”. His “verbal drama” aims todeprive the language of its communicative utilities and to restore its autonomy and theatricality, through the silence of structure and the silence of meaning. The Novarina’s silence, destined for the stage and the space, is manifested in the word itself, in the act of speaking, and in the breath.
Procalcitonina y proteína C reactiva como marcadores precoces de falla de sutura digestiva.
Authors: Wagner Gabriela , Valsangiacomo Pablo , Rodríguez Cantera Gabriela , Segura Daisy , Ruso Martínez Luis
Published: November 2018

La falla de sutura digestiva conlleva alta morbi-mortalidad y su diagnóstico precoz es un punto crítico y controversial. Se ha considerado necesario encontrar un marcador bioquímico de valor diagnóstico en ausencia de cuadro clínico evidente.Hay creciente evidencia de la eficacia de la Procalcitonina (PCT) y Proteína C Reactiva (PCR) como marcadores precoces de falla de sutura digestiva, porque ambas han mostrado ser útiles para la predicción de infección intrabdominal.Se realizó en el Hospital Maciel/ Clínica quirúrgica “3” (perío-do: 14 meses) , un estudio observacional, prospectivo, inclu-yendo todos los pacientes intervenidos de coordinación a los que se realizó una sutura digestiva. Se realizo la medición dia-ria de PCT y PCR pre y postoperatoria por 5 días con el objeti-vo de determinar la utilidad de ambas como indicadores preco-ces de falla de sutura. Se identificaron las complicaciones y establecieron dos grupos según la aparición o no de fuga anas-tomótica, diagnosticada clínicamente y/o imagenológicamente.Se incluyeron 28 pacientes, 14,3% presentaron falla de sutura con una mortalidad de 3,6%. Se encontró un aumento significativo de ambos marcadores en el grupo de falla de sutu-ra (PCR p=0,001yPCT p=0,003) con un aumento específico en el 3er día de postoperatorio.La limitante de nuestro estudio es el bajo número de casos, en lo cual no se encontró diferencia significativa en el resto de las variables analizadas.Este estudio permite inferir que la PCR y la PCT deben consi-derarse adecuados predictores precoces de falla de sutura y de infección intra-abdominal, a partir de las 48 hs de postoperato-rio.

Published: November 2018

El liposarcoma es un tumor maligno de origen mesenquimático, que representa la variedad más frecuente de sarcomas de partes blandas. No obstante, la incidencia de estos tumores en la patología oncológica del adulto es menor al 1%. De ese porcentaje, tan solo entre un 10% a 15% se localizan en el retroperitoneo.

Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente con diagnóstico incidental de un tumor retroperitoneal, y sospecha imagenológica de liposarcoma con confirmación anatomopatológica de variedad mixoide. Se realizó la excéresis macroscópica completa de la lesión y radioterapia externa adyuvante.Se presenta además un breve resumen del manejo actual de la citada patología.
