Anais do III Simpósio Brasileiro de Investigação de Doenças Neuromusculares
Authors: Unifesp Escola Paulista de Medicina 
Published: April 2020

Em anos de estudo sobre doenças Neuromusculares têm se pesquisado sobre diagnóstico clínico, laboratorial, imagem e até mesmo avaliações e escalas que possam auxiliar em um diagnóstico precoce e preciso, sempre visando um tratamento adequado na fase inicial dessas doenças.
Sendo a estimativa do tempo, um importante item na expectativa de sobrevida para esses pacientes, se faz necessário a introdução rápida de novas perspectivas de tratamento para doenças neuromusculares, desde tratamentos medicamentosos como terapias gênicas até a reabilitação com tecnologia assistiva.
Apesar de muitas terapias gênicas estarem em fases iniciais, poucas já estão sendo utilizadas na clínica e foram discutidas no III Simpósio de Investigações nas Doenças Neuromusculares. Em contrapartida, a tecnologia assistiva obteve um avanço importante nas pesquisas com comunicação alternativa e aumentativa, também com a realidade virtual, que cada vez mais vem atuando na reabilitação auxiliando os pacientes em suas tarefas na atividade de vida.
Three-Muscle Surgery for Infantile Esotropia in Children Younger Than Age 2 Years
Authors: Minkoff Olga V. , Donahue Sean P. 
Published: April 2020

Purpose:
To review the long-term outcome of infants undergoing three-muscle surgery for infantile esotropia.

Patients and Methods:
Surgical records of 10 patients with esotropia ⩾ 55 prism diopters (PD) who underwent three-muscle surgery for large-angle infantile esotropia were reviewed. Outcome measures included over- or undercorrection, need for additional surgery, and amount of deviation at last follow-up.

Results:
Mean age at initial surgery was 13 months. Mean preoperative deviation was 62.5 PD of esotropia. A single surgery was associated with satisfactory horizontal alignment in only three (30%) patients at last follow-up (mean, 37.1 months; range, 8–70 months). Esotropia was undercorrected in one (10%) and overcorrected in six (60%) patients, all of whom required additional surgery. One patient with satisfactory horizontal alignment required an additional procedure to correct a right hypertropia causing a left face turn.

Conclusions:
In contrast to older children and adults, three-muscle surgery may be inappropriate for infants with large-angle esotropia due to a large overcorrection rate. This controversy may benefit from a prospective study.

Authors: Patil Shital , Sadale S. B. , Ranveer Rahul C. 
Published: April 2020

Objective: Nectar is a sweet sustenance substance which organization, shading, flavor, and kind of nectar depend primarily on the blossoms, land districts and atmosphere and bumble bee species. We analyzed physicochemical and sensorial qualities attributed to different honey bee species in western Maharashtra of India.
Methodology: Apis dorsata, Cerana indica, Apis florea nectar from various bumble bee species from Kolhapur and Mahabaleshwar locale and remaining sample from market were studied for physicochemical and sensorial evaluation.
Results and Discussion: Brix of Cerana indica and Apis florea nectar gives 82.82 and 82.43°B which is higher than Apis dorsata and Market sample Honey. Acidity of the Apis dorsata was 0.38% which is higher than other nectar tests which showed matured marginal and gives the harsh unsuitable taste. Cerana indica test from Kolhapur district contains more sugar content 63.55% which gives dim golden color and better sweet taste increment its general agreeableness. Apis florea nectar sample from Mahabaleshwar district likewise contains more sugar content 63.35% with light golden shading and sweet taste. The market nectar similarly contains somewhat less sugar 62.10% with golden shading and furthermore contains more slag content. Its characteristic for Cerena indica and Apis florea nectar acknowledged by shopper than market sample honey.
Conclusion: Here we were the reason that the natural nectar test is superior to anything the nectar found in the consumer shops.

Published: April 2020

AbstractCarrion plays an essential role in shaping the structure and functioning of ecosystems and has far‐reaching implications for biodiversity conservation. The change in availability and type of carcasses throughout ecosystems can involve negative effects for scavenging communities. To address this issue, there have been recent conservation management measures of carrion provision in natural systems. However, the optimal conditions under which exposing carcasses to optimize conservation outcomes are still limited. Here, we used camera traps throughout elevational and vegetational gradients to monitor the consumption of 48 deer carcasses over a study period of six years by evaluating 270,279 photographs resulting out of 15,373 trap nights. We detected 17 species visiting carcass deployments, including five endangered species. Our results show that large carcasses, the winter season, and a heterogeneous surrounding habitat enhanced the frequency of carcass visits and the species richness of scavenger assemblages. Contrary to our expectations, carcass species, condition (fresh/frozen), and provision schedule (continuous vs single exposure) did not influence scavenging frequency or diversity. The carcass visitation frequency increased with carcass mass and lower temperatures. The effect of large carcasses was especially pronounced for mesopredators and the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx). Lynx were not too influenced in its carrion acquisition by the season, but exclusively preferred remote habitats containing higher forest cover. Birds of prey, mesopredators, and top predators were also positively influenced by the visiting rate of ravens (Corvus corax), whereas no biotic or abiotic preferences were found for wild boars (Sus scrofa). This study provides evidence that any ungulate species of carrion, either in a fresh or in previously frozen condition, attracts a high diversity of scavengers especially during winter, thereby supporting earlier work that carcass provisions may support scavenger communities and endangered species.

AbstractObjectiveThe use of standing electronic scooters associated with micromobility applications (e‐scooters) has risen nationally. The aim of this study was to obtain a detailed view of soft tissue and bony craniofacial injury associated with e‐scooter‐related trauma.MethodsSingle‐institution retrospective case series of patients presenting to a level 1 trauma center emergency department or trauma unit with documented e‐scooter‐related craniofacial injury.ResultsOf 203 included patients, 188 (92.6%) patients sustained craniofacial injury. One hundred thirty‐one (64.5%) had exclusively soft tissue injury, 3 (1.5%) exclusively bony injury, 51 (25.1%) both soft and bony injuries, and twenty‐five (12.3%) patients sustained dental injury. Aesthetic units most frequently sustaining acute soft tissue injury were the forehead (n = 106, 34.6%), scalp (n = 36, 11.8%), chin (n = 34, 11.1%), upper lip (n = 32, 10.5%), and cheek (n = 31, 10.1%). Aesthetic subunits most often sustaining acute soft tissue injury included the brow (42, 13.7%), central forehead (39, 12.7%), lateral forehead (n = 25, 8.2%), and upper lip vermillion (n = 23, 7.5%). Craniofacial osseous fracture most often occurred in the orbit (n = 42, 24.6%) and maxilla (n = 40, 23.4%). Individual osseous segments most frequently sustaining acute fracture included the anterior maxillary sinus wall (n = 22, 12.9%), nasal bone (n = 20, 11.7%), lateral orbital wall (n = 16, 9.4%), orbital floor (n = 15, 8.8%), and zygomatic bone (13, 7.6%).ConclusionsOur analysis demonstrates that most patients presenting to our center with craniofacial trauma sustained acute bony fracture, most often to the midface. Our data of common injuries associated with e‐scooter trauma could inform implementation in the form of facial safety equipment or safety skills training for e‐scooter riders.Level of evidence4
High Energy γ-ray variability of NGC 1275 and 3C 120
Authors: Sahakyan Narek 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThe recent observations in the high energy γ-ray band show that the extragalactic γ-ray sky is dominated by the emission from blazars. However, γ-ray emission from other types of AGNs, e.g., radiogalaxies, also have been detected. These sources were not considered as favored GeV emitters because the nonthermal emission from their jets is less Doppler boosted. Now, the γ-ray emission from more than 25 non-blazar AGNs has been already detected which opened a new window to have an insight into the particle acceleration and emission processes in different components of AGNs. Here, I will present the γ-ray variability of two well-known radiogalaxies, NGC 1275 and 3C 120, which show a rapid flux increase in the γ-ray band.

Published: April 2020

AbstractGalaxy clusters are excellent targets for high energy astrophysics with gamma rays. Not only they may host active galaxies, but they are often expected to provide signatures of accelerations of electrons and protons to PeV energies. Furthermore, according to ΛCDM scenario, they should be embedded in an extremely massive dark matter halo, the largest halo expected. In this report, we summarize the recently published MAGIC lower limits on the decaying dark matter lifetime using 202 h of selected high quality data taken on the Perseus galaxy cluster, in a 5-year long campaign.

Published: April 2020

AbstractWe report preliminary results of long-term multi-frequency monitoring observations of S5 0716+714. We conducted observations at 22 and 43 GHz using Korean VLBI Network (KVN) radio telescopes and combined 8 (UMRAO), 15 (OVRO), 95 (CARMA), and 230 GHz (SMA) data to investigate characteristics of radio flares. We identified six flares (P1-P6) from 2010 November to 2014 June. The magnetic field strengths by assuming a synchrotron self-absorption model are in the range of 9 mG - 11 G in P2, 26 mG - 3G in P3, 3 mG - 38 G in P4, and 1 mG - 8 G in P6.
Looking beyond the local

Published: April 2020

AbstractAround the world, the popularity of English has escalated, particularly at the primary school level (Butler, 2015), yet provision of sufficient qualified teacher expertise to meet demand continues to be inadequate. The OECD report on Equity and Quality in Education reports that: “The highest performing education systems are those that combine equity with quality. They give all children opportunities for a good quality education” (OECD, 2012). This paper adopts a sociohistorical perspective to critically examine the OECD criteria of achieving equity and quality throughfairnessandinclusivenesswith reference to Uruguay, India and China – all contexts where English has been introduced at primary and kindergarten levels. The analysis draws on data from classroom observations, interviews with teachers and key stakeholders. Findings indicate that while access to the quality provision of English in primary schools and kindergartens has been substantially expanded in recent years in each jurisdiction, the challenges of ensuring universal quality provision have proved complex under conditions where the pre-existing historical and political contexts have limited progress towards equity.
Who and what projects have been funded by the government?
Authors: Tse Thomas Kwan-Choi 
Published: April 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to analyse the general trend of a funding scheme of civic education over the past 30 years in terms of the number of projects and the amount of their subsidies, the targeted groups, the content of the activities and the nature of the grantees.

Design/methodology/approach
Using statistical data of sponsored projects over three decades and interviews with ten informants.

Findings
There has been a shift in the concerns and priorities of these projects. Through the incentives and by setting the themes for funding, the government has regulated the civil society’s involvement with civic education and helped to fashion the officially endorsed values. But it is no longer effective to mediate state–civil society relationship and to cope with the new political scenario.

Originality/value
This paper demonstrates the changing state–civic society relationship over the years with a solid large-scale database. This study advances the knowledge about public funding projects related to citizenship education in particular and sponsorship as a means of governance in general.
Transcription factors regulate adipocyte differentiation in beef cattle
Authors: Liu S. , Huang J. , Wang X. , Ma Y. 
Published: April 2020

SummaryIntramuscular fat (IMF) content is a critical factor affecting meat flavor, juiciness, tenderness, and color. Therefore, the improvement of IMF content is one of the hotspots of animal science research. Fat deposition is the result of a combination of increased number of fat cells and cellular hypertrophy. In addition, transcription factors can influence the number of adipocytes and regulate lipid metabolism. The progress of the transcription factors regulating adipocyte differentiation in beef cattle, including IMF cell sources, and promoting or inhibiting adipogenic differentiation of transcription factors is reviewed in this paper.

Published: April 2020

AbstractBackgroundThe majority of the existing evidence showing an association between diabetes and impaired fracture healing comes from basic scientific research. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to summarize the current clinical literature that investigates fracture healing in patients with diabetes.MethodsThe outcome of interest was impaired fracture healing including non‐union, delayed union and malunion. Studies that compared fracture healing outcomes between patients with and without diabetes were included in this study. Subgroup analyses regarding different fracture sites, types of fracture and classifications of diabetes were performed.ResultsA total of 14 studies involving 695 patients with diabetes and 4937 controls fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Diabetes was associated with an increased risk of impaired fracture healing (odds ratio (OR): 2.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33–3.37, P = 0.002). Subgroup analyses showed that diabetes was associated with a significantly higher incidence of impaired fracture healing in lower extremity fractures (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.30–5.30, P = 0.007), short bone fractures (OR 2.64, 95% CI 1.35–5.20, P = 0.005), long bone fractures (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.23–3.70, P = 0.007) and osteoporosis‐unrelated fractures (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.19–4.80, P = 0.01). Both insulin‐dependent diabetes (OR 4.04, 95% CI 1.05–15.56, P = 0.04) and non‐insulin‐dependent diabetes (OR 5.83, 95% CI 1.73–19.58, P = 0.004) were associated with significantly higher risks of impaired fracture healing.ConclusionsPatients with diabetes have an increased risk of impaired fracture healing when compared to patients without diabetes. Fracture healing in the lower extremities, short bones and osteoporosis‐unrelated fractures is affected more severely by diabetes.
Setting the stage for family reunification
Authors: Harris Elizabeth , Becerra Miguel 
Published: April 2020

AbstractParents whose children are removed by the child welfare system are generally required to participate in a set of community‐based services as a condition for reunification. Often, these services are provided by outside non‐profit agencies. In this study, the authors analysed data from 27 interviews with parents whose children were removed by child welfare and four focus groups totalling 18 staff from a parent education service provider. The data suggest that while these non‐profit programmes are designed to improve the parental behaviours that led to their child welfare system involvement, staff and parents also describe the programmes as helping them develop a specific performance of self (Goffman, 1956) when interacting with child welfare agencies. This performance ultimately facilitates their capacity to build an effective working relationship with their social workers and thereby negotiate the process of reunifying with their children (Cheng and Lo, 2016; Reich, 2005). In keeping with Goffman's 1956 theory, staff from contracted non‐profit agencies help parents understand what is expected on the child welfare stage. This impression management is a critical skill for system‐involved parents, who often come from a class and cultural background that differs from those who work professionally in child welfare settings.
Ultrastructural Studies on a Model Tintinnid – Schmidingerella meunieri (Kofoid & Campbell, 1929) Agatha & Strüder‐Kypke, 2012 (Ciliophora). II. The Oral Apparatus
Authors: Gruber Michael S. , Weißenbacher Birgit , Agatha Sabine 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThe ultrastructure of the oral apparatus is supposed to be significant for elucidating more recent common ancestry and might thus provide support for particular groupings of oligotrichean ciliates. The transmission electron microscopical study on mainly cryofixed Schmidingerella meunieri specimens provides the first detailed data for tintinnids and Oligotrichea in general. Ten new characters are included into the cladistic analysis. These features together with the very limited body of literature suggest that substantial changes in the oral ultrastructure correlate only with the formation of a circular adoral zone in choreotrichids. Despite homoplasious morphological and ontogenetic adaptations to the planktonic lifestyle in halteriid hypotrichs and oligotrichids, their oral apparatuses generally retain the plesiomorphic ultrastructure of the Perilemmaphora. The highly complex ultrastructure of the adoral zone is thus able to accomplish an extension in the zone's functionality without obvious changes; only the position of the adoral zone at the apical cell portion together with a globular to obconical cell shape are apparently crucial. Merely, minute apomorphies characterise the Oligotrichea and tintinnids, respectively. Tintinnids with derived somatic ciliary patterns possess distinct microtubular bundles connecting the oral apparatus with the myoneme in the peduncle.
Enhanced diagnostic accuracy for neurocognitive disorders: a revised cut-off approach for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Authors: Thomann Alessandra E. , Berres Manfred , Goettel Nicolai , Steiner Luzius A. , Monsch Andreas U. 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) has good sensitivity for mild cognitive impairment, but specificity is low when the original cut-off (25/26) is used. We aim to revise the cut-off on the German MoCA for its use in clinical routine.

Methods
Data were analyzed from 496 Memory Clinic outpatients (447 individuals with a neurocognitive disorder; 49 with cognitive normal findings) and from 283 normal controls. Cut-offs were identified based on (a) Youden’s index and (b) the 10th percentile of the control group.

Results
A cut-off of 23/24 on the MoCA had better correct classification rates than the MMSE and the original MoCA cut-off. Compared to the original MoCA cut-off, the cut-off of 23/24 points had higher specificity (92% vs 63%), but lower sensitivity (65% vs 86%). Introducing two separate cut-offs increased diagnostic accuracies with 92% specificity (23/24 points) and 91% sensitivity (26/27 points). Scores between these two cut-offs require further examinations.

Conclusions
Using two separate cut-offs for the MoCA combined with scores in an indecisive area enhances the accuracy of cognitive screening.
Bailout subclavian artery stenting in a sick child with iatrogenic subclavian artery perforation: a case report
Authors: Naganur Sanjeev , Santosh Krishna , Sihag Bhupendra Kumar , Gawalkar Atit A , Prasad Krishna 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background
Subclavian artery injury during internal jugular vein catheterization is a rare yet potentially life-threatening complication leading to hemothorax and exsanguination. The percutaneous endovascular approach offers a less invasive and effective alternative to the high-risk surgical repair in emergent situations.

Case presentation
We present a case of a 6-year-old child suffering from hemolytic uremic syndrome requiring urgent hemodialysis, for which IJV (internal jugular vein) cannulation was attempted. This procedure led to iatrogenic subclavian arterial perforation causing massive hemothorax with hemodynamic compromise. CT angiogram showed a through and through perforation in the first part of right subclavian artery between common carotid and vertebral artery. A definitive assessment of the extent of ongoing leak was made through an invasive angiogram in the catheterization laboratory. The perforation was successfully closed percutaneously with a covered stent without compromising any branch vessels.

Conclusion
Arterial injury although rare is a potentially life-threatening complication of IJV cannulation which warrants immediate attention and corrective measures. Ultrasound guidance can reduce the risk of such life-threatening complications. Percutaneous management offers a less invasive, less time consuming, and effective alternative in critically ill patients in emergency situations.
Prediction of minimal encephalopathy in patients with HCV-related cirrhosis using albumin-bilirubin, platelets-albumin-bilirubin score, albumin-bilirubin-platelets grade and ammonia level
Authors: Alsebaey Ayman 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is a complication of liver cirrhosis causing low quality of life, driving skills and higher traffic violation. The neuro-psychometric tests are the gold standard but difficult clinically and time-consuming. The aim was to assess albumin-bilirubin (ALBI), platelets-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) score, albumin-bilirubin-platelets (ALBI-PLT) grade and ammonia level as MHE predictors. All the patients (n = 257) underwent critical flicker frequency number connection, serial dotting and digit symbol test for MHE diagnosis (n = 166, 64.6%). Liver function, INR, CBC and arterial ammonia were measured.

Results
There was statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between MHE patients and those without as regards ammonia (86.59 ± 23.25 vs. 63.56 ± 24.2 μmol/L), ALBI score (−2.13 ± 0.53 vs. −2.49 ± 0.38), PALBI score (−2.33 ± 0.39 vs. −2.55 ± 0.26) and ALBI-PLT (3.98 ± 0.49 vs. 3.70 ± 0.56). Patients with MHE were mainly Child-Pugh B and C and also ALBI grade 2 and 3. For MHE discrimination, ALBI, PALBI, ALBI-PLT and ammonia had the following cutoffs >−2.36 (57.23% sensitivity, 77.78% specificity), >−2.5 (60.84% sensitivity, 67.9% specificity), > 3 (87.35% sensitivity, 27.16% specificity) and > 76.5 (69% sensitivity, 72.5% specificity) respectively (p = 0.001). On comparison of the area under the curve, ALBI is comparable to PALBI (p = 0.245) and ammonia (p = 0.603). The ALBI-PLT is inferior to ALBI (p = 0.018) and ammonia (p = 0.021) but comparable to PALBI (p = 0.281). ALBI (odds = 5.64), PALBI (odds = 7.86), ALBI-PLT (odds = 2.86), ammonia (odds = 1.05), Child-Pugh score (odds = 2.13), MELD (odds = 1.26) are independent predictors of MHE.

Conclusion
ALBI, PALBI and ammonia are clinical useful model for MHE prediction.
