Authors: Crona Daniel J. , Faso Aimee , Nishijima Tomohiro F. , McGraw Kathleen A. , Galsky Matthew D. , Milowsky Matthew I.
Published: April 2017

Introduction

Cisplatin, a platinum-based antineoplastic agent, is the cornerstone for the treatment of many malignancies. Nephrotoxicity is the primary dose-limiting toxicity, and various hydration regimens and supplementation strategies are used to prevent cisplatin-induced kidney injury. However, evidence-based recommendations on specific hydration regimens are limited. A systematic review was performed to evaluate clinical studies that have examined hydration and supplementation strategies to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Materials and Methods

PubMed and Excerpta Medica databases were searched from 1966 through October 2015 for clinical trials and other studies focused on hydration regimens to prevent nephrotoxicity in cancer patients treated with cisplatin. The University of Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine criteria were used to grade level of evidence.

Results

Among the 1,407 identified studies, 24 were included in this systematic review. All studies differed on type, volume, and duration of hydration. Among the 24 studies, 5 evaluated short-duration hydration, 4 evaluated low-volume hydration, 4 investigated magnesium supplementation, and 7 reviewed forced diuresis with hydration. Short-duration and lower-volume hydration regimens are effective in preventing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Magnesium supplementation may have a role as a nephroprotectant, and forced diuresis may be appropriate in some patients receiving cisplatin.

Conclusion

Hydration is essential for all patients to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Specifically, short-duration, low-volume, outpatient hydration with magnesium supplementation and mannitol forced diuresis (in select patients) represent best practice principles for the safe use of cisplatin.
FDA Approval Summary: Nivolumab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Progressive Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
Authors: Kasamon Yvette L. , de Claro R. Angelo , Wang Yaping , Shen Yuan Li , Farrell Ann T. , Pazdur Richard
Published: April 2017

On May 17, 2016, after an expedited priority review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to nivolumab for the treatment of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) that has relapsed or progressed after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and post-transplantation brentuximab vedotin (BV). Nivolumab in cHL had been granted breakthrough therapy designation. Accelerated approval was based on two single-arm, multicenter trials in adults with cHL. In 95 patients with relapsed or progressive cHL after autologous HSCT and post-transplantation BV, nivolumab, dosed at 3 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks, produced a 65% (95% confidence interval: 55%–75%) objective response rate (58% partial remission, 7% complete remission). The estimated median duration of response was 8.7 months, with 4.6-month median follow-up for response duration. The median time to response was 2.1 (range: 0.7–5.7) months. Among 263 patients with cHL treated with nivolumab, 21% reported serious adverse reactions (ARs). The most common all-grade ARs (reported in ≥20%) were fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection, cough, pyrexia, diarrhea, elevated transaminases, and cytopenias. Infusion-related reaction and hypothyroidism or thyroiditis occurred in >10% of patients; other immune-mediated ARs, occurring in 1%–5%, included rash, pneumonitis, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, and colitis. A new Warning and Precaution was issued for complications of allogeneic HSCT after nivolumab, including severe or hyperacute graft-versus-host disease, other immune-mediated ARs, and transplant-related mortality. Continued approval for the cHL indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in a randomized trial.

Authors: Wu Xinli , El Naggar Hany , Valsangkar Arun J.
Published: April 2017

In this paper, the stabilisation of a 60 m-high natural slope located in Fujian Province in southeast China is analysed using finite-element and limit equilibrium methods. The strength reduction finite-element analysis was able to capture the behaviour of the slope before stabilisation and its performance after stabilisation. The factors of safety obtained with the two different approaches are compared and discussed in this paper. Deformation analysis was also conducted to investigate the serviceability of the slope during the stabilisation construction activities. The results show that the combination of slope flattening and ground anchors was able to provide the required stabilisation while satisfying serviceability requirements, as the deformations at the crest and toe of the slope were within tolerable limits.
Investigation of damage and deterioration hazard in asphalt mixtures due to moisture
Authors: Ghaffarpour Jahromi Saeed
Published: April 2017

Damage to hot-mix asphalt due to moisture is one cause of distress in pavements. Prediction and prevention of this phenomenon is an important research activity in pavement engineering. This study used an analytical approach based on surface energy to interpret results from dynamic compressive loading tests. Dynamic modulus tests applied a repeated axial cyclic load with fixed magnitude and cycle duration to test specimens in dry and saturated states. Two types of bitumen binder, different aggregate types and gradations were evaluated in this research. The aggregates used represented a considerable range in mineralogy (granite, limestone and siliceous gravel) and the bitumens had very different chemical properties. The change in dynamic modulus with load cycles was investigated as moisture damage occurred. Analysis of data considered mixture properties, such as bond energy, in order to assess the influence of moisture. In this research, mixtures with or without hydrated lime, made from the two types of bitumen but only one aggregate, were also evaluated. This study showed that the hydrated lime can substantially improve the resistance of the mixtures to moisture damage. The results also indicated that samples with AC-20 bitumen or crushed granite had less moisture damage compared to other mixtures.
Processing limitations in L2 fluency
Authors: Olkkonen Sanna
Published: April 2017

Oral fluency is widely included in second language assessments, but its relationship to language proficiency is not straightforward. In the current study, data gathered in an experimental setting were examined with an exploratory fluency analysis. The aim was to examine the relationship between fluency of lexical access and proficiency in foreign language (L2). Fluency of the lexical access was studied by analysing inaccuracies in one word recognition and one word retrieval task. To see if proficiency had an effect on the number and the type of inaccuracies, lexical access tasks were carried out for 563 Finnish school children from grades 4, 8, and 11 in their L2 (English). Proficiency in L2 was expected to develop during school education. The inaccuracies were proposed to stem from processing limitations in language use, i.e., inefficiency of lexical access, or from control of attention. The hypothesis was that if lexical access is not automatized, there are less resources for attention-control in recognising and retrieving words. Therefore, the inaccuracies in L2 relating to inefficiency were hypothesised to decrease with proficiency, whereas the ones relating to control of attention were proposed to be more stable or to increase. Furthermore, the fluency of L1 lexical access was used as a control measure. The results offered some confirmation to these hypotheses. For example, some evidence for more available resources in correcting and monitoring speech was found for the older students. The overall results highlight caution in assessing L2 fluency, as not all types of inaccuracies were connected with lower proficiency.

COMPARATIVE SURVEY OF PRINCIPLES OF CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION IN INTERNATIONAL AND RUSSIAN REGULATORY DOCUMENTATION AND THE QUESTION OF THE CONSERVATION OF SOVIET AVANT-GARDE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE IN RUSSIA
Authors: BUSS Simon Christopher
Published: April 2017

This article poses the question of the correlation of Russian legal and statutory regulation on the conservation of historical cultural heritage with the fundamental international charters, agreements and conventions. Comparative analysis of Federal Law No.73 of 2002 “On Objects of the Cultural Heritage (Historical and Cultural Monuments) of the Peoples of the Russian Federation” against 14 positions and principles previously defi ned in the author’s research of 6 of the fundamental international documents, describes both the general characteristics and areas of signifi cant disparity in the approaches to the conservation of historical and cultural heritage. It is noted that the harmonisation of Russian norms with internationally recognised principles should render the conservation of soviet avant-garde architecture more eff ective, however the lack of a complete body of methodological guidance is a hindrance to this process.

Investigating Periodic Body Motions as a Tacit Reference Structure in Norwegian Telespringar Performance
Authors: Haugen Mari Romarheim
Published: April 2017

The pulse level in music is often described as a series of isochronous beats that provides an underlying reference structure against which we perceive rhythmic patterns. This notion is challenged by music styles that seem to feature an underlying reference structure that consists of beats of uneven duration, such as certain traditional Scandinavian dance music genres in so-called asymmetrical meter. This study investigates periodic body motion as a reference structure in a specific style of traditional Norwegian dance music called telespringar. The intimate relationship between music and motion is often highlighted in rhythm studies of telespringar, so this study encompasses both sound and motion analyses. It is based on a motion capture study of three telespringar performers; one fiddler and two dancers. Motion analysis of the fiddler's foot stamping indicates a stable long–medium–short duration pattern at beat level. Motion analysis of the dancers' vertical motion of the hips revealed a periodic pattern in synchrony with the beat duration pattern determined by the fiddler's foot stamping. This result implies that the underlying rhythmic structures in telespringar depend upon a shared and embodied knowledge of the underlying asymmetrical reference structure that is implicit in the production and perception of telespringar.

Authors: Растегаева Фания Саитовна , Шашкова Татьяна Николаевна , Шалина Ольга Игоревна , Токарева Гузель Фарисовна
Published: April 2017

В статье обосновывается роль бюджетно-налоговой (фискальной) политики государства в условиях текущей экономической рецессии. В условиях исчерпания монетарных инструментов экономической политики государства, в том числе беспрецедентного падения ставок рефинансирования, правительства развитых стран пересматривают роль и значение фискальной политики. В США, странах Евросоюза и Японии наметились новые тренды налогового и бюджетного стимулирования, в том числе возврат к применению инструментов фискальной политики, увеличение ее роли, гармоничное сочетание монетарной и фискальной политики, наднациональное регулирование и др. Развитые станы, в разрезе доходов государственного бюджета, смещают налоговую нагрузку с корпоративных налогов на индивидуальные, а в разрезе расходов – сокращают расходы на общественные блага в пользу трансфертов населению.

Published: April 2017

В целях регулирования своевременного поступления средств в бюджет необходим механизм, который будет вовремя реагировать и устранять все недочеты налоговой системы. Ввиду этого государство вынуждено применять к налогоплательщику меры обеспечительного характера, чтобы своевременно и в полном объеме гарантировать поступление налоговых платежей в бюджет. Предметом исследования являются юридические аспекты способов обеспечения исполнения обязанностей по уплате налогов и сборов. Объектом исследования является механизм обеспечения исполнения обязанности по уплате налогов и сборов. Автор подробно рассматривает Главу 11 НК РФ. В механизме функционирования способов обеспечения исполнения налоговых обязательств существуют законодательные недостатки, которыми активно пользуются недобросовестные налогоплательщики. Это является одной из причин образования налоговой задолженности, которая с каждым годом растет. В статье рассмотрены спорные вопросы по каждому виду обеспечения исполнения обязанности и даны рекомендации по совершенствованию действующего механизма.

Authors: Макаров Иван Николаевич Иван Николаевич , Спесивцев Валерий Анатольевич Валерий Анатольевич
Published: April 2017

Одной из проблем при анализе эффективности использования бюджетных и частных средств в системе проектного финансирования, особенно в сферах, в которых сложно оценить «отдачу» в финансовом (денежном) выражении, является задача построения универсальных, либо обладающих достаточной степенью универсальности, социально-экономических индикаторов. Эта задача достаточно жестко стоит как в случае бюджетного финансирования – когда речь идет о целом использовании и эффективности бюджетных средств, так и при частном, когда филантропу или благотворителю необходимо предъявить отчет о использовании полученных денег и полученном результате.
В рамках нашей работы мы определили основные подходы, на базе которых возможно сформировать индикаторы эффективности проектного финансирования в сфере культуры и гуманитарного образования.

La geopolítica de la reforma China
Authors: Praj Dusan , Restrepo Juan Carlos
Published: April 2017

El artículo analiza los nuevos desafíos que la enérgica política exterior China representa para el orden geopolítico regional de Asia. Sigue los recientes cambios en la región sobre todo en lo que concierne a las disputas territoriales en el Mar del Sur de China y examina la manera en la que presión en las regiones empuja a China a mirar en otras direcciones para sus proyecciones geopolíticas, especialmente hacia Occidente al implementar el proyecto de la Nueva Ruta de la Seda y profundizando la cooperación con Rusia. Al mismo tiempo, la fuerte presencia de los Estados Unidos en la región del Pacífico Asiático fue durante más de 50 años una garantía de “paz larga”. El duradero orden político está cambiando debido al constante ascenso de la economía china y al incremento de su gasto militar, desafiando a otros poderes regionales asiáticos como India y Japón a contrarrestar la influencia china en la región, y a eficazmente involucrar a otros socios como Malasia y Filipinas. China está actualmente proponiendo una actitud multidireccional, intentando desarrollar las relaciones con Oriente al igual que con los estados al occidente de sus propias fronteras
Prácticas de seguridad en América durante la posguerra fría (1992-2010): ¿complejos regionales o comunidades pluralistas de seguridad?
Authors: Méndez-Coto Marco Vinicio
Published: April 2017

El nuevo regionalismo de seguridad en América, durante la posguerra fría, ha fallado en aportar suficiente evidencia empírica comparada para determinar la presencia de Complejos regionales de seguridad (CRS) o Comunidades pluralistas de seguridad (CPS). Frente a este problema el estudio busca responder ¿en qué medida las prácticas de seguridad prevalecientes en el continente durante la posguerra fría (1992-2010) permiten diferenciar los CRS o CPS en los niveles regionales y subregionales?Las prácticas de seguridad se estudiaron a partir de dos indicadores: las disputas interestatales militarizadas mediante estadísticas descriptivas y modelos econométricos, y la persistencia de la hipótesis de conflicto en instrumentos programáticos de defensa, mediante el análisis de contenido. Se concluye que el abordaje más apropiado lo ofrecen los CRS dada la persistencia de la amenaza y del uso de la fuerza como práctica de seguridad. La primacía de la agenda estadounidense en América del Norte, América Central y el Caribe implican la presencia de un CRS centrado por su proyección de poder e influencia mundial, mientras que en América del Sur se presenta un CRS estándar. En el nivel subregional, América Central y la zona Andina constituyen subcomplejos, mientras que el Cono Sur una comunidad pluralista de seguridad.

La Guerra de Corea en el ojo del huracán durante la Guerra Fría. Escenario de tensión que en sus inicios implicó a Latinoamérica, y que problematizó la posición chilena. ¿Hubiese sido factible la participación efectiva de sus Fuerzas Armadas en los albores de la Guerra de Corea, como parte de una estrategia diplomática de alineamiento anticomunista? La diplomacia chilena se tentó del conflicto como escalera política de posicionamiento internacional, no exclusivamente ligada a Washington. El objeto es analizar el enfrentamiento bélico significativo dentro del contexto de la Guerra Fría, que generaron planificaciones y cálculos chilenos como participante latinoamericano del enfrentamiento Este-Oeste. Los resultados se develaron en una estrategia plagada de variables con predominio económico y diplomático. Sin embargo, la estrategia central, continuaba siendo la consideración de la ideología transversal de contención —tan propia de la Guerra Fría —, y que por ende, se sometía inmediatamente a lógicas estratégicas de alianzas en Seguridad Hemisférica. Para la realización de la investigación, se utilizó una metodología basada en el análisis documental de archivos inéditos, fuentes diplomáticas y de orden secundario.

Published: April 2017

Los últimos años han estado marcados por una fuerte tendencia positiva en la llegada de turistas internacionales a México, lo que se ha reflejado en los listados internacionales, en los que dicha nación se ha situado entre los diez países más importantes en la recepción de turistas. Sin embargo, la recepción de excursionistas internacionales en la frontera se ha visto fuertemente reducida, tal tendencia negativa, si bien tuvo su inicio con los atentados terroristas acontecidos en la ciudad de Nueva York en septiembre de 2001, se profundizó a partir del incremento de los secuestros registrados en los estados fronterizos. Debido a lo anterior, en este trabajo se analiza la relación entre los secuestros y los excursionistas en la zona fronteriza de México, el estudio se lleva a cabo a través de un Modelo Estructural de Vectores Autorregresivos, que considera los secuestros en estados fronterizos, los excursionistas en frontera y el PIB de EE. UU. Los resultados obtenidos son congruentes con la teoría del turismo, ya que muestra que el crecimiento de los secuestros provoca contracciones en la llegada de excursionistas, mientras que el crecimiento de la economía estadounidense tiene el efecto contrario

Published: April 2017

Partiendo de la sociología, en este artículo se propone una ciencia social capaz de invertir el orden en cuanto a los antecedentes teóricos que toma como base para acercarse a problemas de estudio convencionalmente asociados al turismo; de manera que, primero, defina su objeto de estudio –el turismo– (para lo cual hay ricos antecedentes extranjeros) y luego se acerque a él, según se manifiesta en la región, con lo que se alejará del eclecticismo predominante y del abuso del recurso a los estudios de casos.
Commentary: Targeting Underlying Biologic Mechanisms in Selecting Adjunctive Therapies to Improve Periodontal Treatment in Smokers: A Commentary
Authors: Geisinger Maria L. , Geurs Nicolaas C. , Ogdon Dorothy , Reddy Michael S.
Published: April 2017

Despite well‐established evidence that cigarette smoking is the largest modifiable risk factor for periodontal disease and has many deleterious health effects, treatment of periodontal disease in smokers remains a challenge of periodontal therapy. A recent meta‐analysis revealed that adjunctive use of local delivery of antimicrobials, but not systemic antibiotic usage, with non‐surgical periodontal therapy resulted in improvement in clinical periodontal parameters. Further evaluation of the current literature reveals that host modulation therapy may also result in clinical benefit in smokers. These findings may be tied to the underlying pathophysiology of periodontal disease progression in smokers and suggest that focused therapies that target known mechanisms of action are critical to the success of proposed treatments.

Introdução: com o avanço das pesquisas em neurobiologia e a necessidade de optimização dos critérios diagnósticos, a 5ª edição do Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM-5) realizou importantes mudanças no modo de classificar, catalogar e diagnosticar as doenças mentais. Material e métodos: empreendemos pesquisa de artigos na Pubmed com análises sob diferentes perspectivas com o propósito de obter uma ampla visão das limitações e conquistas com sua publicação. Desenvolvimento: a nova edição do manual efetuou inúmeras alterações em relação à anterior, como a mudança do sistema de classificação multiaxial para dimensional, a fim de melhor abordar os sintomas como um continuum de intensidade, e a elaboração de critérios com maior especificidade para reduzir os diagnósticos “sem outra especificação”. Por fim, citamos o projeto Research Domain Criteria Project (RDoC), ressaltando o contexto e os motivos de sua criação em torno do DSM-5. Conclusão: a atualização conseguiu apenas parcialmente seu objetivo de adotar amplamente o sistema dimensional e não obteve sucesso em incluir critérios genéticos ou neurobiológicos. Contudo, sua possibilidade de contínua revisão possibilita que seja renovada de acordo com as descobertas relevantes.

Introdução: malformações congênitas são importantes causas de mortalidade infantil nos recém-nascidos (RNs) prematuros, sendo a cardiopatia congênita (CC) uma das responsáveis. Objetivo: demonstrar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico dos RNs submetidos à cirurgia de correção de persistência do canal arterial (PCA) à beira do leito. Material e Métodos: estudo longitudinal retrospectivo, realizado nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal de um hospital terciário, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2015. Resultados: a maioria dos pacientes foram RNs de extremo baixo peso e do sexo feminino, que apresentaram as mais variadas manifestações clínicas e complicações como hemorragia peri-intraventricular, insuficiência real e displasia broncopulmonar, mesmo tendo feito uso de corticoide antenatal, surfactante e suporte ventilatório. Conclusão: RNs submetidos à cirurgia foram àqueles prematuros extremos, do sexo feminino e extremo baixo peso ao nascer, que sofreram com complicações maternas ainda no período gestacional.
Estado da arte da nosologia psiquiátrica: RDoC em debate

Desde o lançamento do Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) pelo National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) em 2009 o debate relacionado aos modelos de classificação dos transtornos mentais intensificou-se. A decepção diante dos insucessos parciais dos modelos até então utilizados motivou as lideranças do NIMH a propor um modelo alternativo que incluísse os avanços que a neurociência produziu nas últimas décadas, apontando para a necessidade de dar ênfase em uma psiquiatria translacional. A recepção dessa proposta entre pesquisadores e estudiosos no assunto foi bastante variada, mas de grande relevância para compreender o rumo que a psiquiatria está seguindo. Para a realização desse estudo foi feita pesquisa na base de dados do PubMed em busca de artigos em que se discute o RDoC. As publicações consistem em artigos originais, comentários em fóruns e editoriais de revistas científicas. Críticas negativas, de incentivo e sugestões foram igualmente apreciadas e tiveram a mesma relevância para esse estudo. A discordância entre os que se pronunciam se dá tanto no âmbito filosófico quanto prático, com análises de aspectos conceituais, metodológicos e de seu alcance e importância. O momento atual ainda é de muitas dúvidas e esperança em relação aos resultados que o RDoC promete entregar a longo e médio prazo.
Análise crítica das opções terapêuticas para deformidades do sulco lacrimal: revisão da literatura
Authors: Machado William De Almeida , Pessoa Salustiano Gomes de Pinho , Muniz Vitor Vasconcellos
Published: April 2017

O sulco nasojugal, também conhecido como canal lacrimal, é um sulco cutâneo distinto que se estende inferolateralmente do canto medial até, aproximadamente, a linha pupilar média e se torna progressivamente mais proeminente com a idade. O contorno anormal de tecidos periorbitais resultam em uma área escura que denota a aparência cansada. A concavidade criada por esse sulco é comumente percebida como um círculo escuro abaixo do olho que é difícil de esconder com maquiagem. A atrofia óssea e gordurosa com a idade pode contribuir com a perda do suporte tecidual e descida da bochecha, que aprofunda o sulco lacrimal. O trabalho em questão tem como objetivo a revisão de literatura referente ao tratamento da deformidade do sulco lacrimal.

Introdução: A peritonite meconial deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial em pacientes que desenvolvem grandes cistos abdominais. Avanços nas técnicas de ultrassonografia permitem reconhecer mais precocemente os sinais pré-natais indicativos da patologia e ajudam na redução das taxas de morbimortalidade. Relato de caso: A.E.S.S., 21 anos, primigesta, realizou ultrassonografia obstétrica no dia 24/03/15, sendo evidenciado imagem anecóica, intra-abdominal sugestiva de íleo meconial. Na 39ª semana foi submetida a parto abdominal devido a macrossomia fetal. Recém-nascido (RN), vivo, sexo feminino, escore de Apgar de 3 e 7 no 1º e 5º minutos, respectivamente. Evoluiu nos 5 primeiros dias de vida com resíduo gástrico fecalóide, e após avaliação da cirurgia pediátrica foi indicada laparotomia exploradora pela hipótese de íleo meconial. Os achados foram atresia de íleo terminal com perfuração e bloqueio de alças, sendo realizado ressecção dos segmentos atrésicos e anastomose término‑terminal. Necessitou de nova abordagem cirúrgica e progrediu com quadro séptico. No primeiro dia de pós-operatório evoluiu para óbito. Conclusão: No presente caso, apesar da visualização das alterações ultrassonográficas no pré-natal, o diagnóstico definitivo só foi possível após abordagem cirúrgica. Caso fosse diagnosticado precocemente, a evolução neonatal poderia ter sido satisfatória, com antecipação das cirurgias, mesmo com os altos índices de mortalidades.
Razões para a Casa da Gestante, Bebê e Puérpera da Maternidade‑Escola Assis Chateaubriand
Authors: Alencar Junior Carlos Augusto
Published: April 2017

A Casa da Gestante, Bebê e Puérpera (CGBP) é uma unidade de cuidado peri-hospitalar que acolhe, orienta, cuida e acompanha gestantes e puérperas que necessitam de vigilância mais frequente de suas condições de saúde, por apresentar situação de vulnerabilidade, mas não exigem hospitalização, e que apresentem dificuldade de deslocamento frequente em decorrência da distância e/ou outros obstáculos ao deslocamento. Para o recém-nascido servirá, quando clinicamente estável, para sua recuperação nutricional, quando ainda necessite de atenção diária da equipe de saúde, mas sem a exigência da internação, ou para adaptação de seus cuidadores no manejo de cuidados específicos que serão realizados em seu domicílio. No caso das puérperas também será útil quando seu recém-nascido estiver internado em unidade de terapia intensiva ou intermediária e existir dificuldade para o deslocamento diário da sua mãe. Por essas características deve situar-se nas imediações do hospital de referência.
