Imunobiológicos no tratamento das esclerites: revisão sistemática
Authors: Fidelix Tania , Trevisani Virginia Fernandes Moça
Published: November 2021

A esclerite é uma patologia ocular potencialmente agressiva, principalmente quando há retardo no diagnóstico e tratamento adequados. Pode-se dizer que o oftalmologista consegue antecipar o diagnóstico de doenças tão sérias como a poliangeíte granulomatosa (Wegener) apenas pelo aspecto da lesão ocular.
Não há ensaio clínico randomizado controlado por placebo que teste tratamentos para esclerites não infecciosas. Os tratamentos descritos até o momento se restringem, na maioria das vezes, ao uso de imunossupressão, igualmente sem amparo de estudos randomizados. O uso de alguns imunossupressores pode ser lesivo a alguns sistemas orgânicos e levantamos a possibilidade de ampliar a opção terapêutica para os produtos biológicos que tanto têm mostrado sucesso nas doenças inflamatórias reumáticas.
Para tanto, realizamos uma busca nas bases de dados Medline, Embase, Central, Lilacs, para avaliar os resultados de tratamentos com imunobiológicos nas esclerites não infecciosas.

Risco cardiovascular na artrite psoriásica
Authors: Campanholo Cristiano Barbosa
Published: November 2021

Psoríase (PsO) é uma doença da pele de natureza imune mediada que acomete cerca de 2% a 3% da população. Artrite psoriásica (APs) é uma artrite inflamatória que ocorre em 14% a 30% das pessoas com psoríase, podendo resultar em dano estrutural articular e incapacidades. Doença psoriásica está associada a comorbidades como depressão, obesidade, diabetes mellitus e doença intestinal inflamatória.
Recentemente vem sendo destacado na literatura o aumento do risco cardiovascular em pacientes psoriásicos e a razão para isso parece estar relacionada com processo inflamatório sistêmico crônico.
Estudos confirmam um aumento na ocorrência dos fatores de risco para aterosclerose e/ou síndrome metabólica, assim como doença cardiovascular em indivíduos com PsO. O conhecimento atual não permite determinar se os fatores de risco comuns para doença cardíaca isquêmica são também fatores de risco para psoríase, se eles ocorrem no curso da doença ou ainda se a psoríase sozinha seria um fator de risco.
Gota e doenças cardiovasculares
Authors: Fuller Ricardo
Published: November 2021

A gota é uma doença ímpar. Sua fisiopatologia é precisa e linear uma vez que depende de um único mediador que se eleva até um nível crítico de saturação e explosões inflamatórias. Além do quadro articular, também é notória sua associação com hipertensão arterial, dislipidemia, resistência à insulina, doenças cardiovasculares e insuficiência renal. Aceita-se que uma dieta inadequada (hipercalórica, rica em carnes e açúcar), obesidade e consumo etílico excessivo concorreriam tanto para a hiperuricemia e gota como para as comorbidades associadas. Mas um dado chama a atenção: a magnitude dessa associação. No ambulatório do Serviço de Reumatologia do Hospital das Clínicas da FMUSP, por exemplo, verificou-se uma prevalência de síndrome metabólica (SM) nos pacientes com gota de 73,3% dos casos pelos critérios da NCEP ATP III (National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III) e 71,2% pelos critérios do IDF (International Diabetes Federation). Na população geral a prevalência é de 20% a 25%. Uma revisão sistemática recente no Brasil apontou uma prevalência de SM na população geral de 29,6%. Ainda em nosso serviço, a hipertensão foi observada em 85,4%, a diabetes em 10% e a doença coronariana em 22,8% dos casos de gota. Há duas décadas, cifras de tal ordem têm motivado uma abordagem epidemiológica mais crítica.
Não tardaram a surgir e se acumular as evidências de uma associação independente entre a hiperuricemia e doenças cardiovasculares e metabólicas. Esses dados ganham especial relevância, considerando-se a alta e crescente prevalência da hiperuricemia (AU > 7 mg/100  ml). Em nosso meio, verificou-se que 16% da população adulta é hiperuricêmica, sendo 26% dos homens e 2% das mulheres.
Por outro lado, essa constatação descortina uma grande incógnita: de que forma o AU, um produto nitrogenado originado do catabolismo de uma purina, pode ter papel patogênico em todas essas doenças?
No âmbito da clínica as dúvidas são ainda mais intrigantes: em que medida o tratamento da hiperuricemia poderia contribuir para a prevenção e o tratamento dessas doenças? A história da investigação científica ainda está acontecendo e as partes desse quebra-cabeça começam a fazer algum sentido.
A intercambialidade causal de todos os parâmetros vasculometabólicos envolvidos dificulta sobremaneira o entendimento da ação do ácido úrico como agente isolado na determinação dessas doenças. Algumas revisões abordam esse tema de modo bastante didático. Nesta breve revisão serão abordados fatores ligados à hiperuricemia que podem concorrer para desfechos cardiovasculares.

Authors: Patel Mr. Mitesh G. , Modi Prof. (Dr.) Nilesh K.
Published: November 2021

Unauthorized access point are unwanted whether they are access points or rogue access point or clients. They steal our critical information and not only steal our data but also execute malicious application into our network. “Free Wi-Fi” now a day’s this word become more popular due to free of cost. Public places like bus station, restaurant, malls etc. having a device like wireless access point through which they provide service to the end user. To detect a unauthorized access point different approaches are used. These approaches are briefly classified as client-side approach, Server-side and Hybrid approach. Every approach has its own pros and cons. As we know clients have limited resources and do not possess much control over network when compared with servers. Amongst all available approaches Hybrid approach is efficient because it minimizes the inabilities of client side approach and adds server control for detection of Unauthorized AP. The motive of this paper is to surveying different methods of unauthorized access point detection.
Virtual Reality for the Treatment of Anxiety Disorders: A Scoping Review
Authors: Donnelly Miranda R. , Reinberg Renee , Ito Kaori L. , Saldana David , Neureither Meghan , Schmiesing Allie , Jahng Esther , Liew Sook-Lei
Published: November 2021

Importance: Virtual reality in head-mounted displays (HMD-VR) may be a valuable tool in occupational therapy to address anxiety. Findings from the virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) literature may facilitate translation of HMD-VR to occupational therapy psychosocial practice.

Objective: To explore how HMD-VR has been used to treat anxiety through VRET and could be translated to occupational therapy.

Data Sources: We searched seven electronic databases for articles published between 2000 and 2020: CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, ERIC, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Search terms included HMD-VR constructs, products, and therapy concepts.

Study Selection and Data Collection: We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to report studies implementing VRET to treat anxiety. At least two reviewers assessed each citation, and a third resolved disagreements. Articles were included if they were in English, reported experimental data, and used HMD-VR. Letters, commentaries, book chapters, technical descriptions, theoretical papers, conference proceedings (≤4 pages), and reviews were excluded.

Findings: Twenty-eight studies used HMD-VR to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (n = 3), specific phobias (n = 19), and performance-based social anxiety (n = 6); protocols and levels of evidence varied (randomized controlled trials, n = 11; controlled trials without randomization, n = 6; case–control or cohort studies, n = 11). Qualitative examination indicates HMD-VR is an effective treatment tool.

Conclusions and Relevance: HMD-VR can be a valuable tool for occupational therapy to simulate environments where clients with anxiety disorders participate. Eliciting presence through multisensory features and body representation may enhance outcomes.

What This Article Adds: Drawing from the VRET literature, this scoping review suggests that HMD-VR can be used by occupational therapy practitioners to simulate ecologically valid environments, evaluate client responses to fearful stimuli, and remediate anxiety though immersion in virtual tasks when participation in natural contexts is unfeasible. Having ecologically valid environments is particularly important for people with anxiety disorders because they need support to cope when they encounter triggers in everyday life environments.
Be Heard—We’re Listening: Emerging Issues and Potential Solutions From the Voices of BIPOC Occupational Therapy Students, Practitioners, and Educators
Authors: Salvant Sabrina , Kleine Elizabeth A. , Gibbs Varleisha D.
Published: November 2021

A confluence of factors during 2020 placed needed attention on the social and structural determinants of health, systemic racism, and social injustice. Institutions across the country are taking a hard look at themselves to evaluate how they are complicit in perpetuating these problems and what role they have in dismantling them. In this article, we discuss the influence of systemic racism on the profession of occupational therapy, noting that the profession lacks a clear plan, informed by stakeholders, on how to address it. The American Occupational Therapy Association hosted a series of listening sessions titled “Be Heard—We’re Listening” in June and July 2020 to learn about the experiences of occupational therapy students, practitioners, and educators who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). The listening session participants provided ideas for change and recommendations that establish a call to action for persons, groups, and populations.
Spatiotemporal gait and centre of mass variables while performing different smartphone tasks and confronting obstacle among young adults
Authors: Susilo Taufik Eko , Bovonsunthonchai Sunee , Wattananon Peemongkon
Published: November 2021

Purpose

Smartphone is one of the essential tools but may be inappropriate during locomotion or transportation owing to cognitive distractions. The study aimed to investigate the main effects of smartphone tasks, obstacle conditions, and their interaction on the spatiotemporal gait and centre of mass (COM) variables among healthy young adults.

Methods

The study used a single group with repeated measures design. Overall, 20 participants completed 4 smartphone tasks (no task, texting, calling, and watching), combined with 2 conditions of obstacle confrontation (with and without). Spatiotemporal gait (step length, step time, cadence, and gait speed) and COM variables during gait (excursion and velocity in mediolateral and vertical directions) were collected.

Results

Significant effects of smartphone tasks and obstacle conditions were found, while no interaction effect between smartphone tasks and obstacle was found. There were alterations of the spatiotemporal gait and COM variables during walking, both with and without obstacle. The obstacle condition significantly influenced the different tasks of mobile perturbation, all spatiotemporal gait and COM variables, except for the COM mediolateral velocity.

Conclusions

Confronting smartphone tasks and obstacle conditions concurrently challenges young adults to adjust their movement and balance control systems to perform the tasks successfully.
Effects of recreational soccer on fat mass in untrained sedentary adults: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Authors: Clemente Filipe Manuel , González-Fernández Francisco Tomás , Ceylan Halil Ibrahim , Silva Rui , Ramirez-Campillo Rodrigo
Published: November 2021

Purpose

The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess the effects of recreational soccer on fat mass in untrained sedentary adults.

Methods

The following databases were searched: Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and PubMed. The inclusion criteria were: (i) sedentary adult population not restricted to sex, clinical condition; (ii) exposure to intervention programs based on soccer; (iii) intervention groups compared with passive or active (not related with soccer) control groups; (iv) fat mass (indirectly or directly measured); (v) randomized controlled trials. The database search initially yielded 4565 titles. From those, 22 articles were eligible for the systematic review and meta-analysis. The age of the included population varied from 20 to 68 years.

Results

No significant differences in fat mass changes were found between recreational soccer groups and active controls (ES = –0.070, trivial; 95% CI: –0.28 to 0.14; p = 0.505; I2 = 0.0%; Egger’s test p = 0.986). However, significant changes in fat mass were observed between recreational soccer groups and passive controls (ES = –0.43, small; 95% CI: –0.59 to –0.27; p < 0.001; I2 = 35.0%; Egger’s test p = 0.652).

Conclusions

Regular participation in recreational soccer is as effective as participation in analytical exercise approaches such as continuous running to produce significant fat mass reductions in untrained sedentary populations, independently of sex and clinical condition. However, recreational soccer arouses a greater interest as it has the advantage of increasing the motivation to maintain participation in an active lifestyle.

La restauración y la construcción de Can Ferrereta, Mallorca
Authors: Bastidas Sergi , Bastidas Caldentey Gerard , Bastidas Boris
Published: November 2021

El actual hotel Can Ferrereta fue desde el siglo XVIII una de las grandes casas señoriales del pueblo. La familia Soldevila-Ferrer, responsable del hotel Sant Francesc en el casco antiguo de Palma, buscaba un lugar en la isla donde poder recrear en un entorno rural su modelo de negocio. El objetivo era crear una gran casa que mantuviera el carácter rural de la edificación original y que incorporara al aspecto general del edificio algunos de los elementos del campo cercano. Las premisas eran fundir en una mezcla homogénea las partes originales del edificio y las nuevas construcciones, y utilizar materiales naturales y artesanales de gran calidad, en algunos casos recuperados de otros edificios.
Ciudad Cayalá, a New Extension of Guatemala City
Authors: Sánchez María , Godoy Pedro Pablo , Krier Leon
Published: November 2021

In 2003, Estudio Urbano in partnership with master planner Leon Krier, proposed a new traditional town as an extension of Guatemala City: Ciudad Cayalá. Its goal is to create a humane, hospitable urban environment that fosters a strong sense of community, while generating local employment opportunities and a vibrant commercial and civic life. Paseo Cayalá is the first built quarter that is intended to serve as a model for future growth. It revives Guatemala’s unique architectural identity and offers a way of life radically different from the typically disconnected, car-oriented developments. The principle of mixed-use and programmatically-tuned architectural variety has laid the foundation for a robust emerging public realm. Paseo Cayalá celebrates local identity and has become a place of hope and happiness.
The Architect-Craftsperson
Authors: Hamouie Mohamad
Published: November 2021

The scarcity of craftsmanship in our society is the result of modernist philosophies that celebrate mass production, mechanized industry, exponential economic gain and a corporate/developer-led economy. This relatively recent rupture in thousands of years of human history has led to the loss of generations of valuable knowledge and of an understanding of life stretching beyond material face value. A reconciliation between the traditional values of craftsmanship and contemporary technological advances has been at the core of my practice for over three decades. Here, the need for the “Architect Craftsman” is presented as an alternative approach to the egocentric modernist figure of the “Architect Artist” that has in recent times so widely informed our ways of building.
Networks of the Sacred in the Atlas: Igudar and Zawaya, Intercessory Repositories of pre-Saharan Morocco
Authors: Naji Salima
Published: November 2021

How does the collective granary (agadir) of the Atlas survive “modernity” when everywhere else in the Maghreb it has died out? Years of research in the Atlas (in 2000–2019, identifying 300 active, disused or ruined granaries) support the notion of there being a wider community, beyond blood ties, whose identity is affirmed by the collective institution of the sacred agadir. For on fixed dates each year all the tribes with an active granary bring their offerings or gifts to the southern zawaya, on the fringes of the Sahara, and thus renew their oaths of allegiance to the great regional saints. Over the past two decades we have been able to identify more than a hundred active granaries in the Central Atlas, the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas, and have ourselves endeavored to restore them in an attempt to ensure the survival of this emblematic resource.
El dibujo del Arquitecto
Authors: Díez Oronoz Aritz , Iparraguirre Barbero Imanol
Published: November 2021

El dibujo se presenta en este escrito como una de las principales herramientas del arquitecto para hacer frente a la delicada situación en la que se encuentra actualmente su oficio, ya que es el medio por el que encauzar las propias inquietudes y trascender el pragmatismo que domina en la profesión. Se trata de la lanza y el escudo con los que defender los valores de la Arquitectura, con los que custodiar la fortaleza del propio trabajo, del propio modo de entender y sentir el oficio, además de la forma de mantener un vínculo de continuidad con todos aquellos antiguos maestros sobre los que descansa inevitablemente nuestra labor.
Recognizing the Similar and Thus Accepting the Other: The European and Japanese Traditions of Building With Wood
Authors: Zwerger Klaus
Published: November 2021

This article shows that building issues have not been tackled fundamentally differently in Europe and Japan despite large cultural differences. Different cultural expressions must not necessarily be equated with different thinking. The paper contrasts two apparently contradictory views. Numerous analyses of Japanese “otherness” in “Western” as well as local perception dominate the literature. But the results of extensive architectural field surveys seem to indicate the contrary. These results show similar and equal backgrounds and conditions resulting in similar and equal building types and techniques. They show that our ways of addressing a task are prompted by pragmatism. Broadly identical solutions were developed worldwide long before globalization. Yet this realization does not allow us to conclude that equal appearances can be taken to be equal in content.
Translation and Continuity of Tradition: An Ongoing Dialogue in Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Authors: Kaur Jaspreet , Jadresin Milic Renata
Published: November 2021

Though short, Aotearoa/New Zealand’s history is rich and holds an abundance of knowledge preserved in the form of songs, beliefs, practices, and narratives that inform this country’s unique place in the world as well as the identity of its people. This paper observes that with migratory history and a heritage of colonization, the people of Aotearoa/New Zealand express three identities: indigenous, colonial and migrant, all with a claim to appropriate representation in the country’s built fabric. It discusses the current state of knowledge by looking at the history and architectural tradition manifested in Auckland, the largest and fastest-growing city in Aotearoa. It adds that further research is required to understand and develop an appropriate methodology to address Auckland’s growing multiculturalism, which lacks adequate expression.
