Spatio-temporal history of H9N2 viruses in Iran and neighbor countries by Bayesian analysis and molecular characterization
Authors: Ghalekhani Nima , Bokaie Saied , Eybpoosh Sana , Akbarein Hesameddin 
Published: July 2021

Objective:
To delineate the H9N2 influenza virus circulation within Iran and its neighboring countries, the potential source of the epidemic in these countries, and its date of origin.

Methods:
We obtained all hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) nucleotide sequences of influenza H9N2 available up to December 25, 2020 from Iran and its neighboring countries (i.e., Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Iraq). We also performed a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method to infer the evolutionary dynamic and the most recent common ancestor for the HA and NA sequences.

Results:
H9N2 epidemic may have started in Iran and Pakistan much earlier than the other investigated countries in the region, and an ongoing bidirectional dispersion of the virus between the investigated countries was also observed. The mean time of the most recent common ancestor of H9N2 viruses was 1988 for HA, and 1992 for NA.

Conclusions:
Strains from investigated countries rooted in Pakistan and Iran. Regular surveillance of H9N2 viruses, especially in the live bird markets, enhancing the biosecurity of poultry industry and screening newly arriving immigrants and tourists from neighboring countries at border should be considered to control spread of the virus. Furthermore, surveillance of viral molecular evolution should be initiated for effective prevention of epidemic and pandemic spreads.

Published: July 2021

Aims:
The aim of the sudy was to evaluate potential role of oral captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and in treatment of infantile hemagioma (IH) and report our preliminary results.

Methods:
This prospective study included 18 children with IH admitted in the department of pediatric surgery with no history of prior treatment of any type. Baseline blood pressure (BP), electrocardiogram, two-dimensional echocardiography, serum electrolytes, and renal function test (RFT) were noted. Oral captopril was started as first-line drug at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg orally 12 h with gradually increase of dosage up to 2.0 mg/kg 12 h over the period of 10 days with monitoring of BP, serum electrolytes, RFT, and occurrence of any side effect. If no side effects were noted and patients were stable, they were discharged and followed up until 6 months after stopping treatment. During follow-up, response to treatment was documented clinically and photographically. Development of any side effect was also noted.

Results:
Excellent response to captopril was noticed in nine patients over 16–18 months. Four patients showed good response. Oral propranolol had to be administered alternatively in one patient showing fair response during the initial 4 months but no response afterward and in four patients showing no response at all. One patient developed an allergic reaction to propranolol and was started oral corticosteroid. These five patients had near complete resolution of lesion for the next 8–10 months.

Conclusions:
ACE inhibitors might have a role, though slow, in the involution of IHs. Therefore, these may have the potential to emerge as an alternative treatment for IH in future after confirmation with randomized studies with propranolol.

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT.
Pica is the craving and purposive eating of nonfood items. It is common worldwide and presents among vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women. Its etiology and health consequences are not well understood. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and covariates of pica among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at Kawempe hospital in Uganda. We conducted a cross-sectional study from July 2019 to December 2019. Participants in this study were 307 pregnant women who had come to attend antenatal clinic at the hospital. The prevalence of pica was computed. Bivariate and multivariable analysis was done to establish the factors that were independently associated with pica. The prevalence of pica was 57%. The most common type of pica was geophagia (eating clay and sand) followed by pagophagia (eating ice). Of the women who practiced pica, half consumed the nonfood items daily. Factors independently associated with pica were being in the third trimester (adjusted OR [aOR]: 3.60; 95% CI: 1.36–9.48] and having nausea in pregnancy (aOR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.20–3.70). At Kawempe hospital, pica is common among women who attend the antenatal clinic and is associated with having nausea in pregnancy and being in the third trimester. Health workers need to counsel pregnant women about the dangers of pica so as to reduce helminth infections and micronutrient deficiency associated with it.

ABSTRACT.
Foodborne outbreaks of hepatitis A virus (HAV) are most commonly associated with fresh and frozen produce and with various types of shellfish. Alcoholic beverage-borne outbreaks of hepatitis A are extremely rare. Here, we report an outbreak of hepatitis A associated with the consumption of a traditional wine at a funeral ceremony in the Sabah state of Malaysian Borneo. Confirmed cases were determined by serum anti-HAV immunoglobulin M and/or for fecal HAV by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The amplicons of RT-PCR were subjected to nucleotide sequencing followed by phylogenetic analysis. We conducted a 1:2 case–control study to identify the possible exposure that led to the outbreak. Sixteen patients met the case definition, they were 18 to 58 years old and 90% of them were males. The case–control study showed that the consumption of nipa palm wine during the ceremony was significantly associated (P = 0.0017) with hepatitis A infection (odds ratio, 5.44; 95% CI, 1.80–16.43). Untreated river water was used to dilute the traditional wine, which was assumed to be the source of the infection. Phylogenetically, these viruses belonged to genotype IA and formed an independent cluster with strains from Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines. This strain might be an emerging HAV in Asian countries. Environmental assessments were performed and environmental samples were negative for HAV. The incidence of hepatitis A in Sabah was also determined and it was 0.795/100,000 population. Strict monitoring of traditional wine production should be implemented by the local authority to prevent future outbreaks.

Experiências de escrita e escuta literária na cosmologia indígena com crianças em diferentes contextos culturais
Authors: Miranda Marina Rodrigues , Vago-Soares Maria Angélica 
Published: July 2021

Trata este texto de um estudo direcionado às culturas das cosmologias indígenas na referência de duas diferentes culturas de infâncias. A primeira constituída com crianças da etnia indígena Pataxó da Comunidade Indígena Pé do Monte, Monte Pascoal, BA; a segunda com crianças de um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil, do município de Serra, ES. No verte da pesquisa com crianças Pataxó, o objetivo foi conhecer as suas cosmovisões nos conhecimentos de origens. O outro objeto de discussão foi tecido a partir de exercícios pedagógicos com uma literatura indígena de infância que foi produzida a partir do primeiro estudo. Nesta circularidade, este estudo analisa os dois campos de conhecimentos constituídos em exercício multifacetado, compondo a narrativa etnográfica destes processos. Os conhecimentos abordados das produções culturais constituíram uma pesquisa qualitativa com crianças, na qual foram analisadas as suas narrativas de conhecimentos cosmológicos na referência dos povos nativos nos episódios interativos culturais nas escolas de educação indígena e na educação formal. As discussões estão ancoradas nos estudos culturais de alguns autores indígenas e na sociologia da infância, que reconhece a criança como sujeito social ativo e provedores de culturas. O texto enfatiza o reconhecimento e a valorização das diferenças étnicas arroladas pelo contributo literário nos dois lócus de pesquisa. O que subjaz a discussão é a desconstrução dos processos de opressões coloniais tecendo estigmas de violação das populações indígenas que ainda permanecem no imaginário dos que pensam o mundo especificamente eurocentrado.

Experiências de vida, saberes e práticas da tradição no Observatório Etnoformador em Timor-Leste
Authors: Sousa Rosiete Costa de , Nascimento Cáudio Orlando Costa do , Cassiani Suzani 
Published: July 2021

Quando se pensa as histórias dos povos colonizados submetidos aos conhecimentos hierarquizados e a sua relação com a escola, podemos apontar várias consequências: a naturalização dos problemas encontrados como “não problemas”, a transnacionalização de currículos, a não problematização da realidade, a violência epistêmica, a subalternização dos povos, entre outros. É preciso pronunciar o mundo para que este volte problematizado, diz Paulo Freire (2005). Este trabalho analisa conhecimentos produzidos por professores formadores da educação básica em dispositivo de formação-ação-investigação, no Observatório Etnoformador em Timor-Leste. Pretendemos refletir até que ponto os saberes e práticas tradicionais podem contribuir para diferentes leituras e interpretações na perspectiva da educação timoriana. A análise mostra a natureza contextual do conhecimento, a importância e alcance das interpretações e compreensões dos sujeitos sociais e culturais.

Contemplação urbana e o sagrado no hospital oncológico Ophir Loyola: pareamentos em uma trilha fotoetnográfica
Authors: Correa Júnior Antonio Jorge Silva 
Published: July 2021

O ensaio fotoetnográfico reporta o projeto pessoal “O espaço Urbano como local de Contemplação” e o recorte relacionado as fotos dos espaços sagrados do Hospital Oncológico Ophir Loyola, presentes em minha dissertação de mestrado “Os sentidos do adoecimento pelo câncer colorretal: estudo etnográfico”. Mediando um percurso sensível como enfermeiro, pesquisador qualitativo e tratando a depressão, no contato e imersão em dados provenientes de pessoas adoecidas pelo câncer no aguardo cirúrgico com as quais convivi pelas tardes, paralelamente a registros fotográficos pela cidade de Belém (PA) e registros da Capela do hospital oncológico, este ensaio foi pensado.Concatenando tais sentidos polissêmicos por imagens, a contemplação urbana foi o percurso adotado a partir de Huberto Rohden em “Metafísica do Cristianismo” nos conceitos-atos: visualização da realidade absoluta (Uno), isolamento e cosmopensamento, introspecção e exteriorização (fazendo os registros), aliadas a abordagens conhecidas como pós-modernas e pós-estruturais de Ross Bernay em seu artigo de 2019 Following the Inner Camino: An Autoethnographic Study pautado no conceito de Camiño, reflexão e a auto-observação em: 1. seguir rotas alternativas caminhando; 2. envolver-se e receber conselhos de outras pessoas, e 3. renovar-se com dias de descanso no percurso autoetnográfico. A coletânea de fotos foi registrada com um celular de 14cm x 6,5 cm da Samsung Galaxy J3, sendo gerenciadas a partir de postagens na rede social Instagram como um diário de reflexões e sensações, as fotos dos símbolos sagrados do Ophir Loyola foram apresentadas em parte na dissertação e totalmente aqui. Foram 85 fotografias de contemplação urbana em 2018 e 2019, enquanto no hospital de Setembro de 2018 até Março de 2019. Pareou-se dois contextos: um de Contemplação urbana, uma vertente de vida interna daqueles que registram e visualizam a sensibilidade para/com as pessoas nos seus itinerários nos centros urbanos, no meu caso o vazio, silêncio e ruído na cidade de Belém do Pará cujos traços familiares, bucólicos e concreto estão lado a lado; junto ao contexto da Capela São Lucas (inaugurada em 31/05/1985) a qual frequentemente alguns pacientes mencionavam como espaços de contemplação, alívio no desespero e encontro com sagrado no hospital.
A Hybrid Synthetic Aperture and Time-Reversal MUSIC Algorithm for Subwavelength Radar Imaging
Authors: Tamminga Nathaniel , Christensen Brianna , Petry Sarah , Chang Enson 
Published: July 2021

A promising chipless RFID approach uses millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to image metal ink-printed ID tags from a meter or more away. Due to printing cost, it is desirable to minimize the size and spacing of metal patches within a tag, preferably into the subwavelength regime. Although circular SAR (CSAR) has a sharply peaked point response in 2D, its side lobes of closely-spaced targets interfere strongly with each other to distort the image. An alternative 2D subwavelength imaging approach with minimal side lobes is Time-Reversal MUSIC (TR-MUSIC). Traditional TR-MUSIC, however, requires a large number of transmitters and receivers. We propose a hybrid synthetic aperture TR-MUSIC algorithm (SATR-MUSIC) that combines the benefits of both approaches. Using relatively few transceivers, SATR-MUSIC is able to resolve objects separated by approximately in 2D with minimal background artifacts. It does so by averaging TR-MUSIC’s imaging kernel incoherently over the synthetic aperture.

Reflexiones sobre el proceso de traducción de un cómic a partir de la nueva edición de Persépolis
Authors: Mayor Carlos 
Published: July 2021

El grueso de los cómics publicados en España, en concreto el 65,87 por ciento de los 3 771 nuevos títulos aparecidos en el año 2019, corresponde a traducciones de otros idiomas (Redacción de Tebeosfera, 2020). Se trata, asimismo, de una tendencia que va en aumento tanto en número absoluto de obras como en porcentaje frente a la producción nacional. En ese contexto, la labor de los traductores de historietas adquiere progresivamente una mayor relevancia. A partir de la reciente publicación de una nueva edición de la novela gráfica Persépolis de Marjane Satrapi en la editorial Reservoir Books, su traductor reflexiona sobre el proceso de trabajo en esa obra en concreto y, a partir de ahí, sobre el proceso editorial visto desde la perspectiva del traductor de tebeos y sobre las dificultades específicas y no específicas que plantea esa especialidad.
Fetal fraction of free-DNA: clinical-diagnostic parallels
Authors: Kudryavtseva E. V. , Kovalev V. V. , Dektyarev A. A. 
Published: July 2021

Introduction. Since 2011, a technology such as a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) has been used in the world i order o identify pregnant women at a high risk of giving birth to a child with chromosomal aneuploidy (CA). An important indicator of the test's effectiveness is the fetal fraction (FF), since its low level does not allow to give a reliable result to a patient.Aims: to determine the factors that can affect the level of FF during NIPT.Materials and methods. A retrospective comparative covenant study was carried out. The study included 288 patients who underwent NIPT in 2015-2018 after the standard complex of prenatal diagnosis (t 12-18 weeks of pregnancy). We assessed the correlation of the FF level with various clinical and anamnestic parameters and with indicators of biochemical screening for the first trimester (PAPP-A and β-ХГЧ). A comparison was made in terms of the FF level during pregnancy with a favorable and unfavorable outcome.Results. The average FF level in patient where CA was detected in the fetus was 9.01 (5.4-11)%, in the absence of CA — 9.7 (6.5-11.95)%, the difference are not statistically significant (p = 0.37). In patients with a physiological course of pregnancy, this indicator was 10.07 (6.6-12.57)%, and in patients with a complicated course of pregnancy, it was significantly lower — 8.11 (5.35-11.29)% (p = 0.02). We also analyzed the presence of a correlation between the level of FF and fetal weight at term, but no statistically significant correlation was found (r=0.13). There is a statistically significant inverse relationship between the FF level d the age of the pregnant woman, the patient's weight and body mass index, the number of pregnancies in the anamnesis, as well as a direct relationship between the FF and the β-hCG level (in MoM).Conclusions. FF is an important parameter of NIPT. A sufficient level of FF not only indicates a high reliability of the result obtained during NIPT, but also increases the chances of a favorable pregnancy outcome. The level of FF can be influenced by a number of clinical and anamnestic characteristics of the patient (weight body mass index, age, obstetric history). Studies aimed at determining the level of FF in various physiological and pathological conditions during pregnancy seem promising and thanks to them, it is possible that new models for predicting pregnancy complications will subsequently be proposed.

Introduction.The article presents an overview of the results of modern evidence-based scientific research on the mechanisms of formation of genital prolapse as one of the fundamental causes of pelvic floor muscle insufficiency in women. A systematic analysis of the current literature data on the involvement of clinical, anamnestic and pathogenetic motives in the development of pelvic organ prolapse in women was carried out.Objective:to expand the understanding of the role of anamnestic and biological factors in the pathogenesis of genital prolapse in women.Material and method.The review includes the scale of publications of domestic and foreign authors included in the PubMed database on this topic with a search depth of 20 years. The criteria for inclusion of articles for the system analysis were articles corresponding to the topic chosen for the study of the problem of gynecology, namely, the pathogenesis of genital prolapse in women with a search depth of twenty years. The criteria for exclusion from the study are the age of published scientific works, exceeding a twenty-year period, and inconsistency with the chosen top.Results.The conducted analysis demonstrates the fundamental role of epigenetic factors and molecular genetic predisposition in patients in the progression of genital prolapse which makes it possible to develop personalized prediction and prevention of pelvic floor dysfunction in women, prevention of social burnout.Conclusion.Further study of the mechanisms of formation, determination of the most significant molecular and genetic polymorphisms that increase the risk of pelvic organ prolapse in women, is a promising vector of scientific research. These studies will help to form a pathophysiological basis that allow for a thorough examination to identify a predisposition to the development of a severe disease long before its occurrence.
