Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE), Active Phenolic Compound of
Propolis Attenuates Endothelin, Prostaglandin F2α and U46619 Elicited
Contractions of Isolated Human Umbilical Artery
Authors: Duman Ipek , Soner Burak Cem , Inan Salim Yalcin , Sahin Ayse Saide 
Published: December 2020

Background:
Propolis is a product of honeybees that contains a variety of different compounds, including caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE). Propolis and its bioactive compounds are widely used in folk medicine and as a dietary
supplement. Previously it has been shown that CAPE has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activity.

Objective:
This in vitro study was designed to investigate the vasoactive effects of CAPE on quiescent and precontracted
human umbilical arteries.

Methods:
Umbilical artery strips were suspended in aerated organ baths containing a buffer solution. The strips were randomly allocated to study groups (n=8). Via a transducer and computer, changes in isometric tension were recorded. The
effects of cumulative CAPE (10-8-10-4M) on basal tone of the artery, and in different groups of strips, the vasodilatory effect of cumulative CAPE on the constriction elicited by endothelin (ET-1), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and U46619, and
the effect of incubation with NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME, were recorded.

Conclusion:
CAPE elicits concentration-dependent relaxation on precontracted human umbilical artery strips depending
on the constrictor agent. NO plays significant role in CAPE’s vasorelaxant effect.
The water industry and decarbonisation of cities: A review
Authors: Fisher Peter M.J. , Smith David 
Published: December 2020

:
The urban water industry is a very energy intensive industry. Higher water quality standards are driving a level
of energy growth that is threatening to move it to the top rank. Climate change is further exacerbating this situation:
Growing aridity is variously imposing an enhanced carbon burden through water recycling, trans-regional pipelines and
desalination plants. Natural disasters too can often affect water quality requiring energy hungry mitigations.
There’s clear evidence that a failure to appropriately weight energy considerations in water infrastructure is commonplace
and that this is an unsustainable position for the industry and is prejudicial to working towards zero carbon cities. Real
time tracking of CO2e emissions is an important starting point in raising operator consciousness and introducing rivalry
between utilities in attaining abatement. So too is reaching out to the resource and manufacturing sectors to form strategic
alliances as well as seeking to enter into closer relationships with the energy sector.
Review on Diagnostic Methods for SARS-CoV-2
Authors: Chauriya Chandrashekhar , Sahu Mahesh , Singh Anuj Kumar , Verma Amita 
Published: December 2020

Background::
In December 2019, a large number of patients with a novel coronavirus
were identified in Wuhan, China. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is highly contagious and increasing
the rate of mortality day by day. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a
worldwide pandemic on March 11, 2020. Early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 can restrict the
COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective::
We aim to study the currently available diagnostic methods for COVID-19.

Methods::
World Health Organisation portal, Centre for Disease Control and Prevention portal, Indian
Council of Medical Research portal, Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention portal,
Science Direct, Google Scholar, Research Gate, etc. were searched for obtaining data.

Results::
Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment can reduce the number of prospective cases. The diagnostic
strategy encompasses the screening of the virus with nucleic acid amplification test
(NAAT) such as real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Serological
testing is a diagnostic procedure used for identifying the presence of immune responses. Radiological
findings in individuals with COVID-19 are characterised by multiple areas of consolidation
in the chest. Rapid antigen tests are in-vitro diagnostics that have been designed to give results
within 10-20 min.

Conclusion::
Rapid, simple, and safe diagnosis of COVID-19 has a great impact on deciding clinical
and epidemiological factors. RT-PCR results often require 5 to 6 hours. Diagnosis by serological
testing is not suitable but important epidemiologically. At present, the best radiological strategy
remains undefined. Rapid antigen tests have limitations on sensitivity.
'Het is vol wondren om ons heen'. Over wonderen, wetenschap en wereldbeeld
Authors: Peels R. 
Published: December 2020

How do miracles in the Christian tradition, such as the resurrection of Christ, relate to the methods, explanations, and ways of thinking that science and academic scholarship more generally pursue? Do the two conflict? What is the problem? This article explores seven possible obstacles and argues that none of them constitutes a serious challenge to believing both in miracles as specific acts of God and the value and validity of science. Rather, miracles constitute a challenge to an entirely naturalistic worldview.

BackgroundThe status of the data-driven management of cancer care as well as the challenges, opportunities, and recommendations aimed at accelerating the rate of progress in this field are topics of great interest. Two international workshops, one conducted in June 2019 in Cordoba, Spain, and one in October 2019 in Athens, Greece, were organized by four Horizon 2020 (H2020) European Union (EU)–funded projects: BOUNCE, CATCH ITN, DESIREE, and MyPal. The issues covered included patient engagement, knowledge and data-driven decision support systems, patient journey, rehabilitation, personalized diagnosis, trust, assessment of guidelines, and interoperability of information and communication technology (ICT) platforms. A series of recommendations was provided as the complex landscape of data-driven technical innovation in cancer care was portrayed.ObjectiveThis study aims to provide information on the current state of the art of technology and data-driven innovations for the management of cancer care through the work of four EU H2020–funded projects.MethodsTwo international workshops on ICT in the management of cancer care were held, and several topics were identified through discussion among the participants. A focus group was formulated after the second workshop, in which the status of technological and data-driven cancer management as well as the challenges, opportunities, and recommendations in this area were collected and analyzed.ResultsTechnical and data-driven innovations provide promising tools for the management of cancer care. However, several challenges must be successfully addressed, such as patient engagement, interoperability of ICT-based systems, knowledge management, and trust. This paper analyzes these challenges, which can be opportunities for further research and practical implementation and can provide practical recommendations for future work.ConclusionsTechnology and data-driven innovations are becoming an integral part of cancer care management. In this process, specific challenges need to be addressed, such as increasing trust and engaging the whole stakeholder ecosystem, to fully benefit from these innovations.
Dental Treatments During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Three Hospitals in Jordan: Retrospective Study
Authors: Obeidat Lina , Masarwa Nader , AlWarawreh Amjad , El-Naji Waddah 
Published: December 2020

Background
Cases of COVID-19 first emerged in December 2019. Since then, the virus has spread rapidly worldwide, with daily increases in the numbers of infections and deaths. COVID-19 spreads via airborne transmission, which renders dental treatment a potential source of virus transmission. Dental treatments require the use of handpieces, ultrasonic devices, or air–water syringes, which generate considerable amounts of aerosols. Jordan, being one of the affected countries, instituted preventive lockdown measures on March 17, 2020. Emergency dental treatments were only allowed in dental clinics of the Royal Medical Services of Jordan Armed Forces and Ministry of Health, and were prohibited in other sectors such as private clinics and universities.

Objective
The aim of this study is to investigate the dental treatments performed in three military hospitals during the 44-day lockdown period in Jordan. The investigation explores the impact of COVID-19 on the number of patients and types of performed dental treatments.

Methods
Data such as number of patients, patients’ age and gender, and performed dental treatments were collected retrospectively from the hospital records and were analyzed.

Results
Our results showed a 90% (17,591 to 1689) decrease in patient visits during the lockdown period compared to regular days. The total number of treatments (n=1689) during the lockdown period varied between endodontic cases (n=877, 51.9%), extraction and other surgical cases (n=374, 22.1%), restorative cases (n=142, 8.4%), orthodontic treatments (n=4, 0.2%), and other procedures (n=292, 17.3%). The differences in gender and age group among all clinics were statistically significant (P<.001 and P=.02, respectively).

Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the number of patients seeking dental treatments. It also affected the types of treatments performed. Endodontic treatment accounted for almost 50% of patient load during the lockdown compared to approximately 20% during regular days.
Factors Influencing Patients’ Initial Decisions Regarding Telepsychiatry Participation During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Telephone-Based Survey
Authors: Severe Jennifer , Tang Ruiqi , Horbatch Faith , Onishchenko Regina , Naini Vidisha , Blazek Mary Carol 
Published: December 2020

Background
Telepsychiatry enables patients to establish or maintain psychiatric care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known about the factors influencing patients’ initial decisions to participate in telepsychiatry in the midst of a public health crisis.

Objective
This paper seeks to examine factors influencing patients’ initial decisions to accept or decline telepsychiatry immediately after the stay-at-home order in Michigan, their initial choice of virtual care modality (video or telephone), and their anticipated participation in telepsychiatry once clinics reopen for in-person visits.

Methods
Between June and August 2020, we conducted a telephone-based survey using a questionnaire comprising 14 quantitative and two qualitative items as part of a quality improvement initiative. We targeted patients who had an in-person appointment date that fell in the first few weeks following the Michigan governor’s stay-at-home order, necessitating conversion to virtual visits or deferment of in-person care. We used descriptive statistics to report individual survey responses and assess the association between chosen visit type and patient characteristics and future participation in telepsychiatry using multivariable logistic regression.

Results
A total of 244 patients whose original in-person appointments were scheduled within the first 3 weeks of the stay-at-home order in Michigan completed the telephone survey. The majority of the 244 respondents (n=202, 82.8%) initially chose to receive psychiatric care through video visits, while 13.5% (n=33) chose telephone visits and 1.2% (n=3) decided to postpone care until in-person visit availability. Patient age correlated with chosen visit type (P<.001; 95% CI 0.02-0.06). Patients aged ≥44 years were more likely than patients aged 0-44 years to opt for telephone visits (relative risk reduction [RRR] 1.2; 95% CI 1.06-1.35). Patient sex (P=.99), race (P=.06), type of insurance (P=.08), and number of previous visits to the clinic (P=.63) were not statistically relevant. Half of the respondents (132/244, 54.1%) stated theywere likely to continue with telepsychiatry even after in-person visits were made available. Telephone visit users were less likely than video visit users to anticipate future participation in telepsychiatry (RRR 1.08; 95% CI 0.97-1.2). Overall, virtual visits met or exceeded expectations for the majority of users.

Conclusions
In this cohort, patient age correlates with the choice of virtual visit type, with older adults more likely to choose telephone visits over video visits. Understanding challenges to patient-facing technologies can help advance health equity and guide best practices for engaging patients and families through telehealth.

The hunter-gatherer site BES II (Jacaré-Guaçu River low terraces, central Sao Paulo state, Brazil): Interface with geomorphical and environmental fluctuations of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition
Authors: Santos Fabio Grossi , Cheliz Pedro Michelutti 
Published: December 2020

The lithic site Boa Esperança II (BES II), in the São Paulo segment of the Brazilian Plateau, next to the boundary between the cities of Araraquara (SP) and Boa Esperança do Sul (SP), presents a collection of almost 2,000 lithic artifacts (predominantly chert and sandstone), being interpreted as a settlement of diversified functions with possibly continuous or successive occupation. In this work, we approach the site based on interface of its insertion in the regional physical-environmental context - with emphasis on the interface with relief frames, surface structure study and estimated geomorphic sequences of the alluvial plain of Jacaré-Guaçu river - and techno-typological analysis. It was verified that the BES II artifacts are distributed along vertical profiles and relief pictures lined by records that mark the transition from semi-arid conditions to others of increasing humidity, successive oscillations of base levels and modifications of fluvial regimes (ephemeral channels passing to perennial channels of different hydrological meandrings patterns), indicating that human occupation has dealt with conditions of quite distinct landscapes between the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene. Local lithic industry would have taken advantage of attributes derived from these modifications in the landscape over time - in particular the exposure of gravels of large river pebbles deposited by torrential ephemeral channels. The past abundance of raw material of fluvial origin would have contributed to the location of the site in the regional geomorphological context, as well as for a lithic assemblage based on the production of large unipolar flakes. We observed in the correlations between the position of artifacts, geomorphical and pedological data, OSL and Carbone-14 dates at archaeological levels, elements that allow us to discuss considering BES II as an archaeological site to integrate the interval of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition and to had interfaces with the geomorphological and environmental changes of such time. The archaeological implications of the issue and the fact that only one dating of photoluminescence has been reported from the deepest level of the site (basal gravel layer) emphasize the need for new, denser and more diversified studies.

UM OLHAR SOBRE PARTILHA SENSÍVEL NAS ARTES CÊNICAS
Authors: Cabral Jeferson De Oliveira , Dos Santos Vera Lúcia Bertoni 
Published: December 2020

Este ensaio trata das relações entre as artes cênicas, mais especificamente do teatro e da dança com à fisosofia, com ênfase na partilha de conhecimento sensível. Os argumentos, aqui dissertados, intentam traçar noções de construção de conhecimento de sujeitos a partir do contato com processos formativos em teatro. Para isto, serão utilizadas noções sobre partilha, sensibilidade, estética, dentre outras; ambos aspectos encontrados nos estudos de Jacques Rancière (2005), filósofo com pensamentos voltados à educação e arte. Como procedimentos metodológicos para confecção desse texto, foram realizadas leituras do livro “Partilha do sensível”, uma resenha crítica do mesmo, e por fim, a criação de diálogos entre seus argumentos e escritos de autores da pedagogia do teatro e da dança. A reflexão procura evidenciar a arte como movimento do sujeito perante si e o mundo. Deste modo, o artigo problematiza noções do texto de Rancière, trazendo suas citações e minhas próprias reflexões a respeito dos escritos, que relacionam os preceitos do autor diretamente com processos formativos nas artes cênicas. Palavras-chavesPartilha Sensível. Artes Cênicas. Conhecimento.
A tomografia computadorizada como método de guia na ablação de massas renais: Uma revisão de literatura
Authors: São Leão Barbosa Juliana , Cardoso Matos Silva Carlos Danilo 
Published: December 2020

É cada vez maior o número de diagnósticos do carcinoma renal ainda na sua fase inicial em virtude das novas tecnologias usadas nos exames de imagem, que na maioria das vezes detectam essas massas em tamanho pequeno nos pacientes assintomáticos. Atualmente, as terapias disponíveis mais utilizadas para o tratamento são: quimioterapia, radioterapia e a nefrectomia radical ou parcial. Nesse contexto, o crescente uso da terapia ablativa, em seus diferentes métodos como a técnica de ablação por radiofrequência e a técnica de crioablação, traz um aumento na perspectiva e qualidade de vida dos pacientes acometidos por esta doença. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os artigos científicos publicados em periódicos indexados em Scielo e Pubmed, no período de 2010 a 2019, que apresentam as técnicas ablativas e sua aplicabilidade para o tratamento do carcinoma renal. Do tipo descritivo exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa, esta pesquisa bibliográfica demonstra e caracteriza. O estudo relata o conhecimento sobre a doença e descreve as novas técnicas usadas na terapia ablativa dos carcinomas renais que podem ser guiadas por métodos de imagem como a tomografia computadorizada. Assim o estudo foi subdividido em tópicos que contemplam terapias ablativas, radiofrequência ou radioablação e crioterapia ou crioablação.
