Authors: Freitas Pedro F. S. , Coelho Augusto Q. , Bruschini Homero , Rovner Eric S. , Gomes Cristiano M. 
Published: March 2021

Objective
To present the clinical and radiological characteristics of women with severe structural deterioration of the bladder and upper urinary tract secondary to Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction (PBNO), and their outcomes after bladder neck incision (BNI).

Methods
Retrospective evaluation of adult women who underwent BNI for PBNO at one institution. Patients were assessed for symptoms, renal function, structural abnormalities of the urinary tract and video-urodynamics. PBNO diagnosis was confirmed with video-urodynamics in all patients. BNI was performed at the 4–5 and/or 7–8 o’clock positions. Postoperative symptoms, PVR, uroflowmetry and renal function were evaluated and compared to baseline.

Results
Median patient age was 56.5 years (range 40–80). All presented with urinary retention–four were on clean intermittent Catheterization (CIC) and two with a Foley catheter. All patients had bladder wall thickening and diverticula. Four women had elevated creatinine levels, bilateral hydronephrosis was present in five (83.3%). After BNI, all patients resumed spontaneous voiding without the need for CIC. Median Qmax significantly improved from 2.0 [1.0–4.0] mL/s to 15 [10–22.7] mL/s (p = 0.031). Median PVR decreased from 150 to 46 [22–76] mL (p = 0.031). There were no postoperative complications. Creatinine levels returned to normal in 3/4 (75%) patients.

Conclusion
PBNO in women may result in severe damage to the bladder and upper urinary tract. Despite severe structural abnormalities of the bladder, BNI was effective in reducing symptoms and improving structural and functional abnormalities of the lower and upper urinary tract.

BackgroundThe revised integrated disease surveillance and response (IDSR) guidelines adopted by African member states in 2010 aimed at strengthening surveillance systems critical capacities. Milestones achieved through IDSR strategy implementation prior to adopting the revised guidelines are well documented; however, there is a dearth of knowledge on the progress made post-adoption. This study aimed to review key recommendations resulting from surveillance assessment studies to improve implementation of the revitalised IDSR system in the African region based on health workers’ perspectives. The review focused on literature published between 2010 and 2019 post-adopting the revised IDSR guidelines in the African region.MethodsA systematic literature search in PubMed, Web of Science and Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature was conducted. In addition, manual reference searches and grey literature searches using World Health Organisation Library and Information Networks for Knowledge databases were undertaken. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement checklist for systematic reviews was utilised for the review process.ResultsThirty assessment studies met the inclusion criteria. IDSR implementation under the revised guidelines could be improved considerably bearing in mind critical findings and recommendations emanating from the reviewed surveillance assessment studies. Key recommendations alluded to provision of laboratory facilities and improved specimen handling, provision of reporting forms and improved reporting quality, surveillance data accuracy and quality, improved knowledge and surveillance system performance, utilisation of up-to-date information and surveillance system strengthening, provision of resources, enhanced reporting timeliness and completeness, adopting alternative surveillance strategies and conducting further research to improve surveillance functions.ConclusionRecommendations on strengthening IDSR implementation in the African region post-adopting the revised guidelines mainly identify surveillance functions focused on reporting, feedback, training, supervision, timeliness and completeness of the surveillance system as aspects requiring policy refinement.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO registration numberCRD42019124108.
Evaluación ambiental de áreas buritizales como subsidio para la gestión de recursos hídricos en Ji-Paraná (Rondônia, Brasil)
Authors: Torrente da Rocha José , Reis de Andrade Nara Luísa , Alves Nunes Marcos Leandro 
Published: March 2021

El establecimiento de asentamientos humanos en lugares cercanos a cursos de agua es un hecho históricamente recurrente, que a menudo provoca la supresión de la vegetación nativa y el vertido de residuos de manera inadecuada. Así, el objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la calidad del agua y el grado de conservación de los buritizales en Ji-Paraná (estado de Rondônia, Brasil), un municipio ubicado en el suroeste del Amazonas brasileño. Para ello, se llevaron a cabo in situ análisis con una sonda multiparamétrica de pH, oxígeno disuelto, temperatura y conductividad. Para medir el grado de conservación y realizar la clasificación posterior, se utilizó una metodología consistente en observar los aspectos macroscópicos del entorno del lugar de estudio. Se verificó que las condiciones de preservación de los cuerpos de agua ubicados en los buritizales de Ji-Paraná están comprometidas, lo que corroboró tanto el análisis de los aspectos macroscópicos como los datos de los análisis físico-químicos del agua. Por lo tanto, se espera que los resultados de este estudio puedan servir de ayuda para una mejor gestión y protección de estas importantes áreas de preservación.
Sobreendeudamiento del territorio: análisis geojurídico de una crisis global

Machado, Wilson Pantoja. (2018). Superendividamento: a responsabilidade pré-contratual do credor. Rio de Janeiro: Lumen Juris.
El libro del investigador brasileño Wilson Machado me llamó la atención por su amplio abordaje del fenómeno del sobreendeudamiento. Este fenómeno tiene una influencia directa en la organización y desorganización de los territorios, ya sea a escala local, regional o global. Los estudios sobre la globalización, con carácter crítico, muestran que los grupos económicos (empresas, bancos, países centrales) y los grandes empresarios dominan el territorio en detrimento de la quiebra moral y económica de los Estados. Sin embargo, es difícil describir todo el proceso por el cual un territorio se endeuda. Machado señala algunos caminos que nos permiten entender el sobreendeudamiento a través de las acciones de los acreedores. El libro se dedica a mejorar el papel del acreedor frente a un proceso de sobreendeudamiento individual o familiar, no obstante, al leerlo me di cuenta de que su contenido podría utilizarse para explicar el dinamismo de un territorio. De ahí mi interés, como geógrafo, por entender cómo un acreedor, estatal o privado, puede influir en la dinámica de los territorios.

Russell Body Barrett's Esophagus
Authors: Dhorajiya Pooja , Mannan Rifat 
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
We report an unusual case of Barrett's esophagus with prominent intramucosal Russell bodies, also known as Russell body Barrett's esophagus. We present this case to emphasize the importance of recognizing this unusual entity. It also represents a potential diagnostic pitfall because the distended plasma cells may be mistaken for signet ring cells of gastric adenocarcinoma or low-grade lymphoma. Hence, an awareness of this entity is important to avoid diagnostic confusion.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT
Pancreatic ganglioneuromas occur mostly in children and rarely in young adults, with no cases reported in adults older than 60 years. An 86-year-old-woman, with active advanced multiple myeloma, presented with epigastric pain for 2 days. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography demonstrated a distended gallbladder, mildly dilated biliary tree, and a 13 × 8-mm hypodense mass in pancreatic body, without extrapancreatic invasion at endoscopic ultrasound. Fine-needle endoscopic ultrasound–guided core biopsy revealed characteristic histopathology of ganglioneuroma, as confirmed by immunohistochemical positivity for S100, SOX-10, and synaptophysin. This demonstrates novel finding of pancreatic ganglioneuroma occurring in the elderly. Lesion inclusion in the differential diagnosis may mandate tissue for pathologic diagnosis and complete lesion resection.
Wireless Telegraphy at the German Universal Exhibition in Ústí nad Labem in 1903 [1]
Authors: Okurka T. 
Published: March 2021

This paper focuses on the transmission of wireless telegraphy between Ústí nad Labem and Teplice during the German Universal Exhibition in Ústí nad Labem in 1903. Though this was not the first transmission of wireless telegraphy in Austria, as some newspapers claimed, it was probably the first transmission of wireless telegraphy over a large distance presented to the public in Bohemia. The idea of presenting wireless telegraphy at this exhibition was promoted by Wilhelm Biscan, director of the Elektrotechnikum school in Teplice at that time. The telegraph was installed by the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft in Berlin. The device used the Slaby-Arco system.
An Investigation of the Erosion Wear of Pitched Blade Impellers in a Solid-Liquid Suspension
Authors: Jirout T. , Fořt I. 
Published: March 2021

This paper reports on a study of the erosion wear mechanism of the blades of pitched blade impellers in a solid-liquid suspension in order to determine the effect of the impeller speed n as well as the concentration and size of the solid particles on its wear rate. A four-blade pitched blade impeller (pitch angle α = 30°), pumping downwards, was investigated in a pilot plant fully baffled agitated vessel with a water suspension of corundum. The results of experiments show that the erosion wear rate of the impeller blades is proportional to n2.7 and that the rate exhibits a monotonous dependence (increase) with increasing size of the particles. However, the erosion rate of the pitched blade impellerreaches a maximum at a certain concentration, and above this value it decreases as the proportion of solid particles increases. All results of the investigation are valid under a turbulent flow regime of the agitated batch.
Axial Force at the Vessel Bottom Induced by Axial Impellers
Authors: Fořt I. , Hasal P. , Paglianti A. , Magelli F. 
Published: March 2021

This paper deals with the axial force affecting the flat bottom of a cylindrical stirred vessel. The vessel is equipped with four radial baffles and is stirred with a four 45° pitched blade impeller pumping downwards. The set of pressure transducers is located along the whole radius of the flat bottom between two radial baffles. The radial distribution of the dynamic pressures indicated by the transducers is measured in dependence on the impeller off-bottom clearance and impeller speed.It follows from the results of the experiments that under a turbulent regime of flow of an agitated liquid the mean time values of the dynamic pressures affecting the bottom depend not on the impeller speed but on the impeller off-bottom clearance. According to the model of the flow pattern of an agitated liquid along the flat bottom of a mixing vessel with a pitched blade impeller, three subregions can be considered in this region: the liquid jet streaming downwards from the impeller deviates from its vertical (axial) direction to the horizontal direction, the subregion of the liquid flowing horizontally along the bottom and, finally, the subregion of the liquid changing direction from the bottom upwards (vertically) along the wall of the cylindrical vessel, when the volumetric flow rates of the liquid taking place in the downward and upward flows are the same.

A decapitação de Holofernes e as revoltas dos Macabeus: tradução alipogramática do Livro IX da De aetatibus mundi et hominis de Fulgêncio, o Mitógrafo
Authors: Santos Júnior Cristóvão José dos 
Published: March 2021

Neste trabalho, realiza-se a primeira tradução alipogramática para a língua portuguesa do Livro IX da obra De aetatibus mundi et hominis, considerada o mais antigo lipograma que o passado nos legou. Esse escrito é atribuído ao compositor africano e tardio Fulgêncio, o Mitógrafo, que teria vivido entre os séculos V e VI d.C. A De aetatibus encerra uma constrição linguística de caráter consecutivo, de modo que, em cada uma de suas 14 seções, é evitada uma determinada letra. No nono Livro, ora traduzido, Fulgêncio apresenta personagens como Jezabel, Manassés, Nabucodonosor, Nebuzaradã e Mordecai, fazendo referência a algumas narrativas cristãs, com destaque para o episódio da decapitação de Holofernes por Judite. Ocorre que Fulgêncio, visando a empreender seu lipograma, não emprega unidades lexicais que apresentem o grafema ‘i’, que é exatamente a oitava letra de seu alfabeto. Note-se, por fim, que esse feito não foi cultivado no texto de chegada, na medida em que, neste momento, busca-se fornecer uma tradução que propicie um acesso mais fluido ao conteúdo temático do texto latino.

Particularly in healthcare, ML has driven to energizing modern improvements that may rethink COVID-19 treatment and vaccination within a long time to come. With modern occurrences of the brand modern coronavirus clutter, COVID-19, creating day through the day, it is common to compare the unused affliction to other flare-ups in current history. Machine learning can offer assistance to anticipate three sorts of restorative dangers - disease, seriousness, and result. Whereas it is still it is early for COVID-19 with machine learning, but early applications seem promising. Machine learning is utilized when a computer has been instructed to recognize designs by giving it with information and a calculation to assist get it that information. This method of learning from the information is called training and the yield that we accomplish is through testing. Machine learning-based robotic surgery is changing the way surgery is performed nowadays. Machine learning in healthcare is getting to be more broadly utilized and is making a difference in patients and clinicians in numerous diverse ways. Cybersecurity and protection are major concerns and open challenges in healthcare which are yet to be addressed.

Published: March 2021

Water pollution has become a global issue and creating a severe problems due to contamination of various water sources such as agricultural waste, industrial waste, and sewage waste etc. So, the available sensory systems, nodes, and techniques plays a crucial role in identification of harmful pollutants in distinct water resources. The water pollutants monitoring techniques with prospered tools and sensors have been unfolded to find gap for future research maneuver. The need of real-time newer sensory system has been put forwarded for identification of mostly occurring harmful pollutants such as BOD, COD, TSS, and Hydrogen sulfide in examination of water quality.
In this modern advancement, robotic systems have taken an intrinsic stand in diverse fields of humankind. An underground infrastructure is a base of modern society. In this paper, the existing methodologies and developed sewer robotic systems have been discussed and concluded on their applications, limitations and impact on realistic scenarios. Also, the cardinal point is revealed that previous art work focused only on sewer defect identification but not standardized work on sewer blockages detection and removal. So, the sewer robotic system with features of cost effectiveness and standardized accuracy matrix should be developed to resolve sewer blockage issues and followed by human scavenging. The survey outcomes extend a province of sewer robotics to resolve blockages issues of buried sewers of distinct diameters in real-time with substantial methodology.
