Introduction:Endoscopic surgery is one of the methods that achieve the goal of decompression while minimizing collateral tissue damage. Its efficacy and safety have been supported by numerous studies. There is a plethora of studies on lumbar stenosis regarding the outcomes and related issues in endoscopic spine surgery. However, few studies evaluated the outcome of the decompressive lumbar spine surgery. The present study aims to analyze the outcome of a unilateral approach to endoscopic surgery for lumbar stenosis using the visual analog scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and MacNab's criteria.Methods:This is a retrospective study (level IV) conducted between January 2009 and December 2013 on 60 patients who underwent endoscopic interlaminar decompressive spine surgery (Destandau method) for lumbar degenerative spinal stenosis in the Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. The clinical outcome was measured pre-operatively and post-operatively for VAS: for back and leg pain, motor and sensory grading, the ODI, and MacNab's criteria. A pairedt-test was used for statistical analysis.Results:The mean age of patients was 60.82 years comprising 23 males (38.3%) and 37 females (61.7%). The mean follow-up period was 30.1 months (range = 17.2–43 months). The mean operation time was 183.6 min (ranging from 124.8 to 242.4 min), and the mean blood loss was 150.18 mL (ranging from 30.82 to 269.54 mL). Post-operatively, mean hospital stay was 2.45 days (ranging from 1.34 to 3.56 days). The most frequently involved level was L4/L5 in 51 patients (52.6%), followed by L3/L4 in 19 patients (19.6%), L5/S1 in 24 patients (24.7%), and L2/L3 in three patients (3.1%). Improvement in the post-operative VAS for back and leg pain and the ODI for pre-operation and post-operation was statistically significant (p&lt; 0.001). Conversely, the reduction in neurological status was statistically insignificant. Based on MacNab's criteria, 88.4% showed excellent to good outcomes.Conclusion:To summarize, unilateral percutaneous endoscopic spine surgery to achieve the bilateral decompression in lumbar stenosis provides excellent yet safe and effective outcomes. It improves back and leg pain and patients' function significantly.

Проведена серия экспериментов по оценке огнезащитного действия антипиренов на древесину. Исследования выполнены для бишофита на специально созданной экспериментальной установке. Кинетика выделения дымового аэрозоля изучалась с помощью фотометра фотоэлектрического ФАН, а для проведения количественных расчетов абсолютных значений дымовых аэрозолей применялся отбор проб на фильтры АФА-ВП. Количественные оценки скоростей различных стадий термической и термоокислительной деструкции получены методом формально-кинетического расчета.
The choice of flame retardants as additives to water when extinguishing forest fires should be based on a preliminary (laboratory) study of their fire-retardant properties for wood, determining the mechanisms of fire-retardant action. Evaluation of the effectiveness of a particular flame retardant can be carried out by studying the kinetics of thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of treated and untreated wood. The purpose of this work is to supplement the method for evaluating the fire-retardant effect of flame retardants solutions with methods for studying the rates of smoke aerosol release and its amount during thermal and thermo-oxidative destruction of wood. Quantitative rate estimates of various stages of thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation are obtained by the method of formal kinetic calculation based on experimental data on the rates of smoke aerosol release. The calculation showed that treatment with flame retardants (in this case MgCl) reduces the activation energy of dehydration and depolymerization processes from 83.68 to 75.31 kJ/mol (for 8% solutions) and to 58.58 kJ/mol (for 35% solutions). This indicates that the halides of magnesium are as catalysts of dehydration in the present case. Kinetic analysis allows to conclude that the treatment of wood with flame retardant (MgCl) reduces the amount of smoke aerosol released during thermal degradation, and at the same time it accelerates the processes of heterogeneous oxygen enrichment of substances on the surface of the carbonized residue.

Представлено краткое описание автомобильных топливных систем, включающих в себя газобаллонное оборудование (ГБО) различных поколений, рассмотрена эволюция систем ГБО. Проанализированы статистические данные по автомобилям с ГБО, количество и причины пожаров на газобаллонных автомобилях (ГБА), рассчитана средняя частота возникновения пожаров для легковых, грузовых ГБА и автобусов с ГБО.
A brief description of automotive fuel systems, including gas cylinder equipment (GCE) of various generations is presented. The evolution of gas cylinder equipment systems is considered. The safety of a gas cylinder is analysed depending on a wide range of factors. The statistics of FGBU VNIIPO on the number of fires in the Russian Federation by types of gas equipment (installations, devices, units), which became the source of the fire, as well as the statistics on causes of fires are presented and reviewed. There are presented the results of calculations concerning the frequency of fire occurrence per year per one vehicle that is in service and operates with CNG or LPG as a motor fuel in Russia due to violation of the rules for design and maintenance of gas equipment. The separate data on vehicles powered by CNG and LPG are not presented, since the existing statistical base on fires does not imply separation of vehicles by types of used gas engine fuel. The specified data are representative for enterprises for storage and maintenance of gas motor fuel vehicles and characterize the fire hazard of GCE, since such causes of fire as arson, violation of the rules for design and maintenance of vehicles, etc. are not actually implemented at the abovementioned enterprises. The data of the National Transportation Statistics of the USA in terms of the ratio of the total number of various vehicles to the number of running on gas engine fuel are considered. Conclusions on the causes of fires on gas cylinder automobile (GBA) are drawn.

A Marchadeira das famílias bem pensantes: a pintura de Flávio Império entre o máximo e o neutro teatral
Authors: Quevedo Yuri Fomin 
Published: December 2020

Este artigo parte da pintura A Marchadeira das famílias bem pensantes, realizada por Flávio Império em 1965, para perscrutar a maneira com que o artista elabora a crítica à ditadura militar por meio de seu trabalho. Para isso, retoma brevemente o termo Pintura Nova, e seus significados dentro da parceria com Sérgio Ferro e Rodrigo Lefévre, como uma instrumento de conhecimento da realidade, moldado a partir de seus elementos. Depois, levanta os comentários de Flávio Motta e Mário Schemberg na recepção crítica da obra do artista. E, por fim, a partir de textos do próprio Flávio Império sobre sua atividade de cenógrafo, aproxima a pintura das noções de sistema móvel, neutro e máximo teatral, influenciadas pela leitura que Anatol Rosenfeld faz de Bertold Brecht. O objetivo é aproximar as reflexões do artista à época entendendo sua pintura também como uma forma de elaboração dessas questões, tal como a arquitetura e a cenografia.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) are a common mechanism of bacterial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae. The purpose of this study is to characterize the ESBL genes produced by community-acquired uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the Nouna District, in the West-African country, Burkina Faso.
Methodology: Samples were collected from non-hospitalized patients who came for consultation at the CMA (Centre Médical avec Antenne chirurgicale) in Nouna and were sent to the laboratory for a urine culture test. The detection of ESBL production by the bacteria was carried out with the double-disc synergy test and the extraction of the ESBL genes with the heat shock method. Molecular characterization of ESBL genes was performed with three sequential multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays.
Results: One hundred and eighty-two (182) bacteriological cultures were analyzed and 29 E. coli isolated, between 01/07/2017 and 01/07/2018. The ESBL phenotype was found in 13/29 (44.8%). Multiplex PCR yielded many beta-lactamase genes, predominantly blaCTX-M-1,3,15 (12/13; 92.3%) followed by beta-lactamase genes blaOXA-1,4,30 (8/13; 61.5%) and beta-lactamase genes blaTEM-1,2 (7/13; 53.8%).
Conclusion: This study showed that the blaCTX-M-1,3,15 genes produced by uropathogenic E. coli were predominant. Sequencing of these genes would be needed to better characterize the different types of ESBL circulating in Nouna.

Introduction: Vagococcus spp. is known for its importance as a systemic and zoonotic bacterial pathogen even though it is not often reported in pigs. This is related to the pathogen misidentification due to the lack of usage of more discriminatory diagnostic techniques. Here we present the first report of Vagococcus lutrae in swine and the characterization of Vagococcus fluvialis and Vagococcus lutrae isolated from diseased animals.
Methodology: Between 2012 and 2017, 11 strains with morphological characteristics similar to Streptococcus spp. were isolated from pigs presenting different clinical signs. Bacterial identification was performed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing and biochemical profile. Strains were further genotyped by single-enzyme amplified fragment length polymorphism (SE-AFLP). Broth microdilution was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of the antimicrobials of veterinary interest.
Results: Ten strains were identified as V. fluvialis and one was identified as V. lutrae. The SE-AFLP analysis enabled the species differentiation with specific clustering of all V. fluvialis separately from the V. lutrae strain. Most strains presented growth in the maximum antibiotic concentration values tested for eight of the 10 analyzed antimicrobial classes.
Conclusions: The observed resistance pattern can represent a problem for veterinary and producers in the treatment of diseases associated Vagococcus spp. in swine production. Vagococcus species may also be a risk for pig industry workers. The data described here will be of great value in further understanding the behavior of this pathogen in animal production.

Authors: Quispe Antonio M , Soza Gabriela , Ramos Chirinos Maria , Quiroz Danny , Pons Maria J 
Published: December 2020

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the association between multidrug resistance (MDR) and late-onset sepsis (LOS) among newborns with bloodstream infection (BSI).
Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, we routinely tested every newborn with a presumptive diagnosis of sepsis admitted to the largest reference maternity hospital in Lima, Peru for BSI over an 18-month period. We tested every isolate for MDR by using the disk-diffusion method and assessed its associated factors by using a robust Poisson regression analysis with a particular focus on its association with LOS (vs. early-onset sepsis, EOS).
Results: We analyzed a total of 489 subjects, including 340 (69%) newborns with LOS, and estimated an MDR rate of 80% (95% confidence interval, CI: 76%-83%), which was significantly higher (p-value < 0.001) among LOS (85%; 95% CI: 81%-89%) than EOS cases (67%; 95% CI: 59%-75%). The primary isolate was coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) (60%), which exhibited a limited subset of antibiotic MDR patterns, most of which were characterized by their resistance to cefoxitin, gentamicin, and clindamycin and levofloxacin. Overall, the prevalence of MDR was higher among LOS compared to EOS cases (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 1.28; 95% CI: 1.14-1.45), and among BSI due to CoNS compared to other bacteria (Apr = 1.10; 95% CI: 1.01-1.20).
Conclusions: MDR among newborns with sepsis is exceptionally high, being even higher among those with LOS than newborns with EOS, and among those infected with CoNS compared to other bacteria. Furthermore, CoNS exhibited a limited subset of MDR patterns, which could be used to guide therapeutic decisions.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: To date, the relationship between the causative pathogens and the changes of hematological parameters was rarely referred and deserves further investigation.
Methodology: A total of 825 adult patients, including 134 negative blood cultures patients and 691 bloodstream infection (BSI) patients, were screened for eligibility in this study. Receiver operating characteristic curves and binary logistic regression models were used to assess the power of hematological parameters to distinguish patients with BSI caused by different pathogens.
Results: Except for platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and platelet larger cell count (P-LCC), the other hematological parameters investigated in the study were significantly different in patients with BSI caused by different pathogens, including Candida. The specific combinations of lymphocyte count (LYM), platelet count (PLT), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), MPV-to-PLT ratio (MPV/PLT), platelet larger cell ratio (P-LCR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) can improve the ability to distinguish various BSI from negative blood cultures. The highest area under the curve of was 0.753 (95% CI 0.709-0.797) for positive blood cultures, 0.715 (95% CI 0.658-0.771) for Gram-positive pathogens BSI, 0.777 (95% CI 0.730-0.824) for Gram-negative pathogens BSI, 0.797 (95% CI 0.747-0.846) for Escherichia coli BSI, 0.943 (95% CI 0.899-0.987) for Enterobacter aerogenes BSI, 0.830 (95% CI 0.740-0.921) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa BSI, and 0.767 (95% CI 0.695-0.839) for Staphylococcus aureus BSI.
Conclusions: The specific combinations of hematological parameters can improve the power to distinguish patients with BSI caused by different pathogens. Attention to these parameters can be easily integrated into daily medical activities, without extra costs.
