Background: Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a potentially fatal pneumonia predominantly caused by infection due to Legionella pneumophila although more than 50 other Legionella species are described. Water systems contaminated with Legionella spp. are the implicated sources of Legionnaires' disease. In this study, we aimed to assess Legionella contamination in the water sources of a tertiary care hospital and to determine the virulence properties and molecular characteristics of L. pneumophila environmental isolates.Methods: During May 2015 through August 2018, a total of 201 hospital water samples were tested for L. pneumophila by standardized culture procedures; environmental isolates were examined for the presence of two virulence genes: Legionella vir homolog (lvh) and repeats in structural toxin (rtxA) by PCR. The genotyping of isolates was performed by sequence-based typing (SBT) according to the protocol of the European Study Group for Legionella Infections (ESGLI).Results:L. pneumophila was isolated from 38/201 (18.9%) water samples; among the 46 isolates, the lvh locus was present in 45 (97.8%), the rtxA locus was found in 45 (97.8%), and both loci were found in 44 (95.7%) isolates. A total of 23 sequence types (STs) were identified among the 44 isolates (index of discrimination [IOD] of 0.929), and 11/23 (47.8%) STs were new to the ESGLI database.Conclusions: The study results showed genetic diversity in L. pneumophila isolates from the hospital environment along with a high percentage of pathogenicity loci. Besides, certain STs may have an increased ability to cause legionellosis, thus requires specific infection control and prevention strategies whenever identified.

Published: November 2020

BackgroundManaging multimorbidity is complex for both patients and healthcare systems. Patients with multimorbidity often use a variety of primary and secondary care services. Country-specific research exploring the healthcare utilisation and cost consequences of multimorbidity may inform future interventions and payment schemes in the UK.AimTo assess the relationship between multimorbidity, healthcare costs, and healthcare utilisation; and to determine how this relationship varies by disease combinations and healthcare components.Design and settingA systematic review.MethodThis systematic review followed the bidirectional citation searching to completion method. MEDLINE and grey literature were searched for UK studies since 2004. An iterative review of references and citations was completed. Authors from all articles selected were contacted and asked to check for completeness of UK evidence. The National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute quality assessment tool was used to assess risk of bias. Data were extracted, findings synthesised, and study heterogeneity assessed; meta-analysis was conducted when possible.ResultsSeventeen studies were identified: seven predicting healthcare costs and 10 healthcare utilisation. Multimorbidity was found to be associated with increased total costs, hospital costs, care transition costs, primary care use, dental care use, emergency department use, and hospitalisations. Several studies demonstrated the high cost of depression and of hospitalisation associated with multimorbidity.ConclusionIn the UK, multimorbidity increases healthcare utilisation and costs of primary, secondary, and dental care. Future research is needed to examine whether integrated care schemes offer efficiencies in healthcare provision for multimorbidity.

BackgroundOne can assume a relatively high prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in people with multimorbidity. However, literature in this area is scarce. There is a need for further robust research to aid GPs to identify patients at a particular risk for UI, and to initiate the early treatment and multidisciplinary management of this condition.AimTo examine the association between multimorbidity and UI in 23 089 individuals aged ≥15 years and residing in Spain.Design and settingThis study used data from the Spanish National Health Survey 2017, a cross-sectional sample of 23 089 participants aged ≥15 years residing in Spain (54.1% female; mean [standard deviation] age = 53.4 [18.9] years).MethodUI and 30 other physical and mental chronic conditions were self-reported. Multimorbidity was defined as the presence of ≥2 physical and/or mental chronic conditions (excluding UI). Control variables included sex, age, marital status, education, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between multimorbidity and UI.ResultsThe prevalence of UI was 5.9% in this sample. UI was more frequent in the presence than in the absence of each one of the 30 chronic conditions (P<0.001). The proportion of people with UI was also higher in the multimorbidity than in the no-multimorbidity group (9.8% versus 0.7%, P<0.001). After adjusting for several potential confounders (that is, sex, age, marital status, education, smoking, and alcohol), there was a significant and positive relationship between multimorbidity and UI (odds ratio = 5.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.89 to 6.59, P<0.001).ConclusionIn this large sample of Spanish individuals aged ≥15 years, suffering from multimorbidity was associated with a significantly higher level of UI.

The role of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of liver tumors
Authors: Katrich A. N. , Polshikov S. V. 
Published: November 2020

Background. Liver lesions are increasingly found in a huge number of patients. Ultrasound (US) is the method of choice in liver lesion characterization. The limitations of traditional US techniques are well known. Multiparametric ultrasound (MPUS) includes multiple facets of the US examination, and their combination can significantly improve the diagnostic capabilities of the method.Objective. To evaluate the capabilities of MPUS in the differential diagnosis of liver tumors.Material and Methods. A retrospective analysis included 172 patients with morphologically confirmed liver tumors. All patients underwent an MPUS examination.Results. Traditional US techniques have a rather low specificity in the differential diagnosis of liver neoplasms: the sign of “contour clarity” was typical for hemangiomas, hepatocellular adenomas (HCA), liver metastases and was recorded in 82, 100, 96% cases, respectively; heterogeneous echostructure was noted in all nosological entities, groups of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), liver metastases and HCA were characterized by foci of various types of echogenicity. Specific symptoms were discovered in patients with liver metastases (32%) and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) (96%). Intratumoral blood flow was recorded in 34 (19.7%) cases. The study of spectral characteristics was possible only in 11 (6.4%) patients. Statistically significant differences in contrast-enhanced US parameters “contrasting onset in focus” were found between the groups “FNH & hemangioma” (р < 0.000046), “FNH & HCA” (р < 0.006293), “MTS & FNH” (р < 0.028125), “FNH & HCC” (р < 0.024933), “maximum fill-in time” – “FNH & hemangioma” (р < 0.012590), “FNH & HCC” (р < 0.007983), “MTS & HCC” (р < 0.000243). Statistically significant differences in the wash-out time were obtained in “MTS & HCC” and “MTS & HCA” groups.Conclusion. Conventional US should be used as basic screening, follow-up and navigation in the neoplastic biopsy. Contrast-enhanced US within MPUS is currently a well-established technique which allows a more precise and confident diagnosis of liver tumors.

Published: November 2020

Alguns estudos apontam que indivíduos com unidades músculo-tendíneas com menor amplitude de movimento são capazes de utilizar melhor a energia elástica armazenada na estrutura do tendão em movimentos que envolvem as ações excêntrica e concêntrica. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi verificar a influência da flexibilidade de membros inferiores na diferença de desempenho entre o salto Squat Jump (SJ) e o salto Countermovement Jump (CMJ). Doze voluntários do gênero masculino foram submetidos à goniometria de membros inferiores, para avaliação da flexibilidade, na qual foram mensuradas a amplitude de movimento em flexão e extensão de quadril e em dorsiflexão. Posteriormente, foram realizados os testes de saltos verticais e determinada a diferença de desempenho entre os resultados do SJ e os resultados do CMJ. Foi encontrada uma alta correlação inversa (r= -0,81, p<0,05) entre a amplitude de movimento na flexão de quadril e a melhora do desempenho do SJ para o CMJ. Para a extensão de quadril e dorsiflexão foi encontrada baixa correlação inversa (r = -0,45 e r = -0,26 respectivamente, p<0,05). Diante destes resultados foi possível concluir que há um maior aumento do desempenho entre os saltos SJ e CMJ em indivíduos com menor ADM na flexão de quadril. Estes resultados sugerem que indivíduos com menor flexibilidade nos músculos extensores do quadril possuem um maior aproveitamento da energia elástica armazenada durante a ação excêntrica no CMJ.

Authors: Marques Junior Nelson Kautzner 
Published: November 2020

O funcionamento da visão é complexo, mas vários cientistas do esporte investigam sobre esse tema porque diversas tarefas das modalidades dependem da visão para uma boa execução. A maioria dos estudos sobre a visão no esporte acontecem no futebol. Talvez isso ocorra porque a literatura do futebol e dos seus derivados recomendam na partida ênfase na visão periférica. O objetivo da revisão foi de apresentar os estudos sobre a visão no futebol e no futsal. Foram selecionados cinco estudos, quatro sobre o futebol e um sobre o futsal. A primeira investigação mostrou como a visão atua numa tarefa defensiva, o segundo estudo evidenciou a percepção visual, na terceira pesquisa foi estudado o pênalti e no quarto estudo sobre o futebol foi abordado o conhecimento do resultado e a visão. A única investigação sobre o futsal foi sobre o aprendizado neuromotor, os atletas tiveram aquisição do treino da visão periférica. Em conclusão, pesquisar a visão no futebol e no futsal é importante porque o atleta desse esporte precisa jogar de cabeça erguida.

The effect of intrinsic image memorability on recollection and familiarity
Authors: Broers N. , Busch N.A. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractMany photographs of real-life scenes are very consistently remembered or forgotten by most people, making these images intrinsically memorable or forgettable. Although machine vision algorithms can predict a given image’s memorability very well, nothing is known about the subjective quality of these memories: are memorable images recognized based on strong feelings of familiarity or on recollection of episodic details? We tested people’s recognition memory for memorable and forgettable scenes selected from image memorability databases, which contain memorability scores for each image, based on large-scale recognition memory experiments. Specifically, we tested the effect of intrinsic memorability on recollection and familiarity using cognitive computational models based on receiver operating characteristics (ROCs; Experiment 1 and 2) and on remember/know (R/K) judgments (Experiment 2). The ROC data of Experiment 2 indicated that image memorability boosted memory strength, but did not find a specific effect on recollection or familiarity. By contrast, ROC data from Experiment 2, which was designed to facilitate encoding and, in turn, recollection, found evidence for a specific effect of image memorability on recollection. Moreover, R/K judgments showed that, on average, memorability boosts recollection rather than familiarity. However, we also found a large degree of variability in these judgments across individual images: some images actually achieved high recognition rates by exclusively boosting familiarity rather than recollection. Together, these results show that current machine vision algorithms that can predict an image’s intrinsic memorability in terms of hit rates fall short of describing the subjective quality of human memories.

Paisagens de Macau (sécs. XVIII-XIX). “Vue de Macao en Chine” versus” On the Green”
Authors: Guimarães Martins da Costa Maria Alexandrina 
Published: November 2020

O Museu do Centro Científico e Cultural de Macau (CCCM) conserva no seu acervo uma gravura e um desenho com vistas da cidade de Macau, dos finais do séc. XVIII e da primeira metade do séc. XIX. A primeira, “Vue de Macao en Chine”, data de 1787 e é da autoria de Gaspard Duché de Vancy e o segundo, “On the Green”, um pouco mais tardio, é do ano de 1838 e foi desenhado por Warner Varnham.
Estes dois exemplares oferecem-nos perspectivas complementares e extremamente interessantes da cidade de Macau. Nos mesmos é possível reconhecer paisagens físicas e humanas e reconstituir ambientes.
Estas imagens serão analisadas em paralelo, nas suas semelhanças e diferenças e, no âmbito deste estudo, serão cruzadas com memórias escritas coevas, de forma a atingir-se outros níveis de compreensão e de leitura da realidade da época, para além da dimensão estritamente visual que as mesmas encerram.
Architecture, Ceramics and Frames. Three case studies in the work of Jorge Barradas
Authors: Almeida Ana 
Published: November 2020

Throughout the history of the azulejo (a Portuguese form of tin-glazed ceramic tile), frames have played a decisive role in the articulation of this element with its architectural support. From the late 1940s onwards, Portuguese artists have felt the influence of the International Modern Movement, especially via the Brazilian model and its solutions for integrating azulejos within the new architectural forms. This movement translated into new buildings and equipments, promoting the interaction between architects and artists. Moreover, it led to the renovation of Portuguese ceramic coverings, prompted by the emergence of a new generation of artists strongly influenced by Jorge Barradas.
The present article aims to examine three ceramic coverings by Jorge Barradas, focusing on their frames and their articulation with the architecture. The first azulejo covering is the so-called Atlântico Palace, the headquarters of a banking institution in Oporto (1950); the second is located at the Parish Church of Nossa Senhora de Fátima, in Parede, Cascais (1953); the third one is at the Lisbon’s Palace of Justice (1969).
O Sistema da Arte Contemporânea é Livre?
Authors: F. R. Costa Júlio 
Published: November 2020

A presente reflexão aborda a liberdade artística no âmbito do mundo da arte contemporânea– desenvolvido a partir do conceito de Artworld de Arthur C. Danto. Desta forma, pensa-se a ligação do artista e da sua obra à sociedade, e das restrições e liberdades que advêm desta relação dialéctica. Tendo como base que: a liberdade do artista é definida pelas condições de possibilidade de concretizar a sua obra; sendo que este intervalo de possibilidade vai desde o momento em que a obra é apenas uma “semente” no pensamento até o momento em que é exposta – a partir deste ponto a obra segue também uma vida própria.
Em última instância, procura-se abrir caminho ao debate em torno das relações de poder dentro das hie­rarquias que formam o mundo da arte, realçando as consequências principais para a cultura ao nível da sociedade ocidental.
