Acute Tuberculosis Infection Concomitant with Nivolumab Treatment in a Patient with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors:   Medical Oncology Department, Colțea Clinical Hospital, Bucharest, Romania, Pîrvu Edvina E
Published: December 2022

Nivolumab, a fully human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor and other immune checkpoint inhibitors are used to promote activation of anti-tumor immuno response in the fight against cancer. Recently published case reports raised awareness on a particular adverse effect of immunothrapy: reactivation of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. This case report describes a 67-year old Caucasian male who presented with concomitant tuberculosis infection of the pleura and pericardium with nivolumab therapy for non-small cell lung cancer. He received antituberculous treatment, with favorable evolution. With no available guidelines for the management of tuberculosis during PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, a high index of suspicion should exist when the evolution of the patient takes an unexpected turn. This approach should be applied especially in countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis.
Infezione congenita da citomegalovirus e ipoacusia
Authors: Gambacorta Valeria , Orzan Eva , Lapenna Ruggero , Ricci Giampietro
Published: December 2022

Background - Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common of congenital infections, with a prevalence of 0.3-1.2% in industrialized countries and is the most frequent non-genetic cause of permanent hearing loss in children, with an incidence ranging from 0.2 to 2%. Since there is no antenatal therapy or vaccine against CMV and since many patients with congenital CMV (cCMV) do not experience sequelae even in the absence of specific therapy, a universal screening programme has not been established. Current protocols provide test for the detection of cCMV in case of failure at newborn hearing screening. Aim - This article aims to analyze the pros and cons of the different screening approaches for cCMV, through an overview of the topic based on the most recent literature. Materials and Methods - The recent national and international literature on cCMV screening has been examined through a narrative review. Results - As part of the screening and early identification programmes for neonatal hearing loss, current procedures include a search for cCMV on urine or saliva within 3 weeks of life, following a positive result (Refer) at newborn audiological screening. This approach enables to recognize cCMV infection in newborns suffering from isolated hearing loss, which is already present at birth, however it does not allow cases of CMV-related hearing loss occurring in the postnatal period or late in childhood to be recognized. A universal newborn cCMV screening, in conjunction with audiological screening, would have the advantage of identifying all infants infected with cCMV, including 10%-15% of asymptomatic conditions at birth who may develop late hearing loss. One of the major obstacles to the establishment of universal cCMV screening is the unknown cost of its application and a clear understanding of the sensitivity and specificity of the cCMV test. Conclusions - Strategies are needed to identify children with congenital CMV infection at risk for developing late-onset hearing loss. A universal newborn screening to ensure timely recognition of children with cCMV, close audiological surveillance and possible early treatment at the onset of the first hearing symptoms should be provided.
Steinbeck, Race, and Route 66 in The Grapes of Wrath
Authors: Jenkins Grant Matthew
Published: December 2022

Despite its advocacy for tenant farmers, laborers, Okies, and other poor migrants across the United States, John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath seemingly ignores the Black Americans among them and effectively erases the history of African Americans even as it elevates Route 66 and the overlooked and forgotten trials and tribulations of White, rural, faming families who lived along it. This article surveys the state of scholarship on Steinbeck’s relation to racism and racial issues, and sets the novel’s depiction of African Americans in historical and well as critical contexts. In its bulk, the article examines one crucial historical fact that Steinbeck omits from his epic tale of the Joad family emigrating from Oklahoma: the many all-Black towns situated along Route 66 and its “tributary side roads” featured in the novel. Ultimately, readers of Steinbeck learn about the contexts that Steinbeck ignores but that nonetheless provide an opportunity to highlight with the fame he’s brought to the so-called “Mother Road.”

El país de las mujeres, da autora nicaraguense Gioconda Belli, constrói uma representação utópica de uma sociedade alicerçada na Ginocracia, provocando uma espécie de autocrítica das bases humanistas, pois estas últimas consideraram a relação entre sexo e o gênero feminino como negativas, presentes em Beauvoir (1967) quando afirmou a palavra mulher ligada ao estado da educação e dos costumes e negou o potencial biológico feminino dos processos reprodutivos como positivos para a própria emancipação da mulher. Na obra, há o desejo de que homens e mulheres reconheçam os valores da feminilidade tradicional, historicamente tidos como os biológicos (maternidade e maternagem, o cuidado e o contato), sejam transcendidos do espaço doméstico para o espaço público. A problemática é como o “risco da essência”, discutido por Fuss (2017), pode contribuir para o entendimento de que o espaço público, antes dominado pelos homens, é dominado pelas mulheres em uma Utopia do Felicismo, de base ginocentrista. O objetivo geral é refletir sobre a utopia no desejo latente de se (re)pensar e questionar os efeitos do patriarcado na América Latina. A pesquisa é de caráter bibliográfico e crítico-literário-feminista com base em Fuss (2017); Bloch (2005); Freire (1997); Cavalcanti (2017); Vergès (2020), entre outros.
O que pode o corpo nas utopias e distopias: figurações do pós-humano na ficção científica
Authors: Souto Gabriela Barbosa de
Published: December 2022

Em um momento em que as narrativas distópicas parecem extrapolar suas fronteiras ficcionais, as utopias se fazem cada vez mais necessárias. Mas o que utopias e distopias têm a nos dizer sobre os corpos que (re)produzem, especialmente a partir do viés da relação entre o corpo e a tecnologia, tão intrínseca à atual existência humana? Seriam estas narrativas premonitórias da manipulação genética, da interferência farmacológica e dos procedimentos estéticos, ou apenas um meio de expor as transformações pelas quais a humanidade vem passando ao longo dos últimos anos? Até onde o ser humano continua a ser humano e até onde a sua natureza pode ser alterada a partir das suas mutações? As fronteiras entre o humano e o pós-humano, entrecruzadas pela figura do ciborgue, são constantemente exploradas nas narrativas de ficção, principalmente nas obras de ficção científica. Partindo desta e de outras figurações do pós-humano, a exemplo das inteligências artificiais, dos androides e de humanos conectados ao ciberespaço, este ensaio tem como objetivo levantar questões a partir dos corpos possíveis nas/das utopias e distopias, dialogando com uma série de referências intermidiáticas, dando destaque aos corpos pós-humanos das narrativas de ficção científica e às questões ontológicas vinculadas a eles.

As the main force of China's economy, employment and GDP, SMEs have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. It is of great practical significance to study the digital transformation of SMEs for the relief and development of SMEs after the epidemic and to promote the development of China's digital economy.
