Violências contra pergonagens travestis na literatura brasileira do século XX
Authors: Fernandes Carlos Eduardo Albuquerque 
Published: February 2020

O presente trabalho discute sobre a representação da violência na construção de personagens centrais travestis na literatura brasileira do século XX. Faremos menção a alguns contos e romances brasileiros do século XX, para discutir a condição de subalternidade e abjeção dessas protagonistas a partir das violências que sofrem. Nos baseamos em pelo menos três aspectos teóricos para a análise em questão: estudos antropológicos sobre a experiência da travestilidade no Brasil, sobretudo em Silva (2007), Benedetti (2007) e Kulick (2008), os estudos culturais e de gênero, a partir de Butler (2010) e Spivak (2010), bem como a partir dos estudos literários de Fernandes (2015) e Silva (2010). O objetivo é chegar a um argumento crítico sobre a recorrente situação de subalternidade das protagonistas travestis na literatura brasileira, corroborando uma possível relação de mimetização ou de realismo nessa faceta da literatura homoerótica com o que se verifica no âmago de sociedades patriarcais e heteronormativas.

Patient perceptions of misdiagnosis of endometriosis: results from an online national survey
Authors: Bontempo Allyson C. , Mikesell Lisa 
Published: February 2020

Abstract

Background
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease affecting 10% of females in which endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, resulting in pain, infertility, and physical and psychosocial dysfunction. Prior research documenting diagnostic error reports a 6.7-year mean diagnostic delay. This study takes a patient-oriented approach and aims to complement prior research on diagnostic error by examining patient-reported experiences with misdiagnosis.

Methods
Data were part of a larger online survey comprising nonrandomly sampled patients with self-reported surgically confirmed endometriosis (n = 758). We examined patients’ reports of misdiagnosis, to which healthcare professionals (HCPs) they attributed misdiagnosis, mean diagnostic delay, and endometriosis symptoms and physical sites predicting misdiagnosis reports.

Results
Mean reported diagnostic delay was 8.6 years. 75.2% of patients reported being misdiagnosed with another physical health (95.1%) and/or mental health problem (49.5%) and most frequently by gynecologists (53.2%) followed by general practitioners (34.4%). Higher odds of reporting a physical or mental health misdiagnosis was associated with reports of virtually all symptoms and endometriosis on the bladder, small bowel, pelvic sidewall, and rectum. Higher odds of reporting a physical health misdiagnosis was exclusively associated with reports of endometriosis on the appendix. Higher odds of reporting a mental health misdiagnosis was exclusively associated with reports of a younger symptom onset age; endometriosis on the diaphragm, large bowel, lung, and ureter; and comorbid adenomyosis diagnosis.

Conclusions
Endometriosis continues to present serious and complex diagnostic challenges. These findings corroborate previous objective investigations documenting endometriosis diagnostic error, establish the first patient-reported incidence, and further demonstrate value in including patients in diagnostic error research.
2D turbulence closures for the barotropic jet instability simulation
Authors: Perezhogin Pavel A. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIn the present work the possibility of turbulence closure applying to improve barotropic jet instability simulation at coarse grid resolutions is considered. This problem is analogous to situations occurring in eddy-permitting ocean models when Rossby radius of deformation is partly resolved on a computational grid. We show that the instability is slowed down at coarse resolutions. As follows from the spectral analysis of linearized equations, the slowdown is caused by the small-scale normal modes damping arising due to numerical approximation errors and nonzero eddy viscosity. In order to accelerate instability growth, stochastic and deterministic kinetic energy backscatter (KEBs) parameterizations and scale-similarity model were applied. Their utilization led to increase of the growth rates of normal modes and thus improve characteristic time and spatial structure of the instability.
Impact of corvitin and alpha-ketoglutarate on heart morphology, expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinases 2/9 in the heart of rats with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy
Authors: Gordiienko I. A. , Poslavska O. V. , Shevtsova A. I. 
Published: February 2020

The anthracycline anticancer drug doxorubicin is an effective and frequently used chemotherapeutic agent for various malignancies but it causes acute ventricular dysfunction, and also induces cardiomyopathy and heart failure. One of the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin is oxidative stress, which stimulates myocardial remodeling. Matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP9 play a key role in this process. Despite extensive research, the expression and activity of these enzymes in the doxorubicin-damaged heart and the effect of antioxidants on these indicators have not been sufficiently studied. The aim of this work was to study the possible cardioprotective effect of the antioxidant drugs corvitin and alpha-ketoglutarate in rats with doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy in rats was induced by intraperitoneal administration of doxorubicin at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight weekly for 28 days. Animals were divided into four groups: group 1 (control) received saline injections (2.5 mL/kg); group 2 – injections of doxorubicin, 3 – corvitin (5 mg/kg) 60 minutes before doxorubicin administration, 4 – doxorubicin and 1% solution of alpha-ketoglutarate in drinking water ad libitum. Heart weight and shape indexes, the ratio of muscle to connective tissues, and heart histology were examined 7 days after the end of drug administration. Activity of MMP2 and MMP9, their intracellular distribution in myocardial tissues were evaluated by gelatin-zymography and immunohistochemistry. It was found that doxorubicin cardiomyopathy in rats was accompanied by a decrease in heart weight index, adaptive change of heart shape from ellipsoid to globular, increase of connective tissue content. Administration of doxorubicin results in profound lesion of the cardiomyocytes of the atria and ventricle, manifested by excessive cytoplasmic expression of MMP2 and MMP9 and an increase their activity in the heart. Antioxidants corvitin and alpha-ketoglutarate have insufficient regenerative effect on mass and shape indexes of heart however, exhibit potent cardioprotective effect by regulation of expression and activity of MMP2 and MMP9.

Published: February 2020

The problem of processing, use and utilization of poultry manure contaminated with antibiotics remains unsolved not only Ukraine but around the world, and theatment and prevention of highly contagious infectious diseases among birds requires antibacterial medication use. By liquid chromatography, 293 hen manure samples of 12 Ukrainian industrial flocks of poultry farms were studied. The residual content of 9 antibiotics in the hen manure was found, including 38.2% of tetracycline preparations (doxycycline, oxytetracycline, tetracycline and chlortetracycline), fluoroquinolone (enrofloxacin and norfloxacin) including combinations of incompatible tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones, broad-spectrum penicillins (amoxicillin), fenicols (florfenicol), macrolides (tylosin) and one sulfanilamide preparation (sulfametazine). The most common antibiotics in hen manure of Ukrainian industrial flocks of poultry farms are the antibiotics of the tetracycline group, the main one being doxycycline. A high correlation was determined between the release of doxycycline with eggs and hen manure after the preparation was used perorally in preventive and therapeutic doses. Time of complete excretion of doxycycline from the hen body at the preventive dose (50 mg/L of water for 7 days) was 14 days for manure, 8 days for eggs, following its withdrawal, and at the therapeutic dose (100 mg/L of water for 7 days ) – 20 days for manure, and 9 days for eggs, following its withdrawal. The perspective of using the obtained data about the duration of excretion of doxycycline with hen manure consists in confirmation of the time of the antibiotic’s excretion with manure following its use for preventive or therapeutic purpose, which will help in controlling it as a source of environmental pollution. The time of doxycycline excretion from the body of hens with eggs and manure may be used practically by professionals in veterinary medicine in the case of prescribing or replacing antibiotics for treatment of infectious diseases of poultry to prevent the combination of incompatible preparations in the body and manure. The obtained experimental data may form the basis for the development of national regulations on the processing, usage and utilization of manure of hens under treatment with antibiotics.

Absztrakt:
A pulmonalis arterialis intimalis sarcoma ritka, magas mortalitású daganat, mely
lokalizációja miatt a pulmonalis embolia, valamint a tüdőgyulladás tünettanát
utánozhatja. A diagnózis felállítása és a megfelelő kezelés kiválasztása körül
számos kérdés merülhet fel. Egy 46 éves, korábban hereseminoma, pulmonalis
embolia, asztma, valamint pollenallergia miatt kezelés alatt álló férfi kontroll
mellkasi CT-felvételén bal oldalon a mediastinalis pleurát infiltráló, az
arteria pulmonalist teljesen elzáró, összességében 7–8 cm-es térfoglaló
folyamatot írtak le. A hörgőbiopsziás mintából orsósejtes tumor diagnózisa
született, illetve leiomyoma, leiomyomatosus hyperplasia, illetve leiomyosarcoma
lehetőségét vetették fel. A fennálló obstrukció miatt a beteg bal oldali
tüdőeltávolításon esett át. A szövettani vizsgálat a pulmonalis artériákban
terjedő, orsósejtes daganatot kórismézett, immunhisztokémiailag diffúz SMA- és
fokális MDM2-pozitivitással, valamint magas proliferációs aktivitással. A
h-caldesmon, az S100 protein, az ERG, valamint a pancitokeratin-immunfestések
negatívnak bizonyultak. Fluoreszcens in situ hibridizációval a
tumorsejtek mintegy 10%-ában polysomiát, illetve MDM2-amplifikációt lehetett
igazolni, aminek alapján a „high-grade” pulmonalis arterialis intimalis sarcoma
diagnózisa megerősítésre került. Féléves követés alatt a betegség nem újult ki.
A pulmonalis arterialis intimalis sarcoma pontos incidenciája nem ismert. Egyes
források szerint a krónikus pulmonalis hypertoniás betegek 1–4%-ánál fordul elő.
A tünetek közül a fogyás kelti fel a leginkább a daganatos betegség gyanúját. A
képalkotó és a kórszövettani vizsgálatoknak kulcsszerepük van a diagnózis
felállításában. A daganat rossz kórjóslata miatt a minél korábbi felismerés és a
kemoterápiával kombinált sebészi kezelés javíthatja a túlélési lehetőségeket.

“The danger still hangs over my head” Fear of Recurrence among Israeli Breast Cancer Survivors
Authors: Levkovich Inbar 
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Many breast cancer survivors report a fear of recurrence of the disease, which finds expression in anxieties that the original cancer will return or that another form of cancer will begin to develop. The present study evaluated perceptions of and feelings about the fear of recurrence from the point of view of breast cancer survivors, the impact of this fear on their lives, and their means of coping.
Method: Qualitative research was conducted using the phenomenological approach. The sample included 13 breast cancer survivors aged 34-67 who were within 1 year after completion of chemotherapy. Participants included survivors who had been diagnosed with localized breast cancer, Stages I-III, without metastases, and without previous cancer diagnoses. Participants provided their personal details, while details of the disease and treatments were collected from the patients’ files.
Results: Two main themes emerged: (1) Along with the desire to gradually return to normal life, the study participants described an ongoing sense of existential threat, a lack of security and a sense of being out of control when any follow-up tests or pain linked to potential cancer caused fear and anxiety and (2) their fears also concerned their family members as they were afraid their loved ones might get sick and go through the suffering they had experienced.
Conclusions: The fear of cancer recurrence is a multidimensional phenomenon. This emotional response can arise as a result of physical symptoms causing suspicions that the disease has returned or as a result of external factors, such as follow-up tests or other people’s illnesses.

Authors: Sidiq Avin , Ameen Sirwan 
Published: February 2020

The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of PCR and disk diffusion methods in determination of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains and compare their accuracy and specificity. For this purpose a total of 150 clinical isolates obtained from burn patients were investigated; of these 55 (36.6 %) were identified as S. aureus by conventional and Vitek® 2 system. All isolates were subjected to 30 μg cefoxitin to identify MRSA isolates. Besides, PCR was utilized for molecular analysis. Among the results of disk diffusion methods in our study, the prevalence of MRSA was 92.7% and MSSA was 7.3% with the sensitivity and specificity of 92.15 % and 75 % respectively. Whereas, 87.3 % of S. aureus isolates were mecA positive and 12.7% were mecA negative in PCR assay. Our finding showed that the PCR is more accurate and allowed early and rapid identification of methicillin-resistant S.aureus.
Evaluation of Flexural Strength of Heat Cure PMMA Denture Base Material Reinforced with Various Concentrations of Zirconium Oxide Nanoparticle: An In-vitro Study
Authors: Raouf Lazyan , Faraj Souza , Azhdar Bruska 
Published: February 2020

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticle dispersion on the flexural property of heat-cure polymethylmethacrylate denture base material.
Methods: Eighty specimens were divided into 10 groups of eight specimens; Group 1 unreinforced acrylic, group 2: treated with ethanol alcohol, Groups 3,4,5 and 6 reinforced acrylic specimens with 1, 3, 5, and 7 wt% of untreated zirconium oxide nanoparticle (u- ZrO2) and Groups 7,8,9 and 10 reinforced acrylic specimens with treated and sonicated zirconium oxide nanoparticle in ethanol alcohol (t-ZrO2). X-ray diffraction test (XRD) was used to study the dispersion quality of the tested specimens, and universal testing machine was used to evaluate flexural strength and flexural modulus. SPSS software program used to compare groups results statistically.
Results: The results revealed significant decrease in flexural strength with u-ZrO2 nanoparticle addition in different concentration groups (p<0.05), while with t-ZrO2 nanoparticle addition, above 3 wt% statistically significant decrease was noted as compared to the conventional group. However, the flexural modulus increased with increasing the both of u-ZrO2 and t-ZrO2 nanoparticles addition. XRD results showed better dispersion quality of the t-ZrO2 than u-ZrO2 throughout the acrylic resin denture base material.
Conclusions: Flexural strength decreased inversely with increasing u-ZrO2 concentration, while it decreases significantly above 3 wt% of t-ZrO2 nanoparticle concentration. The flexural modulus increased with increasing both of u-ZrO2 and t-ZrO2 nanoparticles. Reduced nanoparticle’s cluster size of t-ZrO2 allows more nanofiller to be incorporated to denture base materials with less adverse effect on the mechanical properties.
Trueness of Stereolithographic Model Compared to Conventional Model Using CAD/CAM Prosthesis with Digital Photographs
Authors: Martani Nabeel 
Published: February 2020

Objective: Accuracy of the stereolithographic (SLA) model significantly influences their laboratory uses. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of SLA models created from digital impressions to conventional die stone models obtained from elastomeric impressions using full anatomic CAD/CAM fabricated fixed prosthesis.
Methods: A partially edentulous typodont model was prepared for this study with two-implant abutments as a reference model. Two impression techniques were used to fabricate study models. Group one (n=5), SLA models were created from digital impressions acquired by an intra-oral scanner. While in group two (n=5), die stone models obtained from vinyl polysiloxane impression materials (VPS). A full anatomic zirconia bridge was fabricated using CAD/CAM system and high-resolution digital photographs from the buccal surface were captured using a macro lens . The vertical distance between selected points was measured by three evaluators using a calibrated digital software program. The t-test with 95% confidence interval was used to evaluate the accuracy of the models.
Results: There was a strong agreement among observers with a statistically significant difference in the seating of prosthesis on the SLA model versus the conventional model, with a mean and standard deviation of -0.17±0.24 mm and 1.04±0.22 mm subsequently. Their results of the t-test were showed fewer errors in the SLA group.
Conclusions: CAD/CAM fabricated bridge was better seated on SLA models from digital impressions compared with die stone models from elastomeric impressions. Therefore, the trueness of 3D printed models was greater than conventional models compared to the reference model.

Published: February 2020

Objective: Gummy smile (GS) also referred to an excessive gingival display (EGD). it’s an aesthetic disorder that can be managed by a variety of procedures include; modified lip reposition surgery (MLRS) and botulinum toxin type-A injection (BTX-A). This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of treatment of GS by surgical technique (MLRS) and non-surgical technique (BTX-A injection) 1 and 4 months after treatment.
Methods: The study was conducted from November 2018 to November 2019. Forty adult patients aged 18-35 years with a EGD ≥ 4 mm caused by soft tissue disorders were recruited. Patients divided into two groups; Group 1 included 20 patients treated by MLRS and Group 2 (20 patients) treated by BTX-A injection. The amount of gingival display (GD) was evaluated after 1 and 4 months of the treatments by Autodesk AutoCAD computer program. ANOVA test used to compare changes in GD before and following treatments.
Results: The study showed a significant reduction in the amount of GD in both groups after 1 and 4 months of the treatment (p value < 0.05). Non-significant differences between both groups in 1 and 4 months of follow up (p value > 0.05).
Conclusions: Both MLRS and BTX-A injection technique were effective treatment modalities for patients suffering from GS.
