Published: March 2021

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe surgical transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an established technique for postoperative analgesia following abdominal surgery. However, it has not been practiced frequently by obstetricians. This work was done to study the efficacy of the surgical TAP block after cesarean delivery (CD).Materials and methodsThe study included 100 women undergoing CD in MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Hoskote, Bengaluru, Karnataka. The operating obstetrician performed a surgical TAP block for 50 participants in the “Study” group. Twenty milliliters of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected in the transversus abdominis neurofascial plane, on either side. Another 50 participants were included in the “Control” group. Postoperatively, visual analog scores (VAS) for pain were monitored for 24 hours. Whenever the patient demanded rescue analgesia or VAS was recorded as 4 or more, rescue analgesia was administered with intravenous injection tramadol 50 mg. The time of the first rescue analgesia and the total dose of rescue analgesics required in the first 24 hours were recorded. The patients in the “Control” group routinely received intravenous injection tramadol 50 mg, 8th hourly for pain relief.ResultsThe difference in the mean VAS score at all time intervals between the two groups was statistically significant (p< 0.05). The mean time to first rescue analgesia in the “Study” group and “Control” group was 11.7 ± 7.344 and 2.1 ± 1.125 hours, respectively, and the total tramadol consumption was 50 ± 28.571 and 180 ± 26.726 mg, respectively. This difference was statistically highly significant (p< 0.001).ConclusionSurgical TAP block is an important adjunct in the multimodal pain management strategy and should be practiced more often in obstetric practice.How to cite this articleSravani P, Indrani C, Rajanna SP,et al.

ABSTRACT

Background
A collision tumor is the coexistence of two distinct tumors without any histological intermixing in the same organ or tissue. Though these types of tumors are often seen in various organs, their occurrence in the ovary is rare.

Case description
Here, we have reported a case series of three collision tumors—serous cystadenoma with mature cystic teratoma, mucinous cystadenoma with benign cystic teratoma, and a case of serous cystadenofibroma with mature cystic teratoma.

Clinical significance
It is important to identify collision tumors and also document all their components for optimal treatment.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACTIntroductionThis case report illustrates the treatment of a skeletal class III patient with the surgery-first orthognathic approach (SFOA) protocol.Background“Surgery-first orthognathic approach” is a growing trend that provides an immediate facial change. The SFOA protocol utilizes dentoalveolar compensation as the key advantage to effect immediate facial change, which in conjunction with the rapid acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) augments the intended tooth movement, thereby reducing the total treatment duration.Case descriptionA 24-year-old male presented with forwardly placed lower jaw with associated difficulty during eating. Clinical examination revealed severe lip incompetency, mandibular excess, class III skeletal malocclusion, severe bimaxillary incisor proclination, posterior crossbite, and lower midline shift toward right on an average mandibular plane angle.ConclusionThe SFOA protocol involving bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) mandibular setback along with the correction of the pitch and yaw was performed and the orthodontic phase was followed.Clinical significanceThe total treatment time was 5 months and 15 days, following which excellent facial transformation and stable occlusion was achieved.How to cite this articleDivakar RR, Parameswaran R, Jayapal J,et al.“Surgery-first Orthognathic Approach” for Correction of Skeletal Class III with Open Bite.

Abstract. To better understand the aerosol properties over the Arctic, Antarctic and Tibetan Plateau (TP), the aerosol optical properties were investigated
using 13 years of CALIPSO (Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations) L3 data, and the back trajectories for air masses were also simulated using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated
Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model. The results show that the aerosol optical depth (AOD) has obvious spatial- and seasonal-variation characteristics, and
the aerosol loading over Eurasia, Ross Sea and South Asia is relatively large. The annual-average AODs over the Arctic, Antarctic and TP are
0.046, 0.024 and 0.098, respectively. Seasonally, the AOD values are larger from late autumn to early spring in the Arctic, in winter and spring in
the Antarctic, and in spring and summer over the TP. There are no significant temporal trends of AOD anomalies in the three study regions. Clean
marine and dust-related aerosols are the dominant types over ocean and land, respectively, in both the Arctic and Antarctic, while dust-related
aerosol types have greater occurrence frequency (OF) over the TP. The OF of dust-related and elevated smoke is large for a broad range of heights,
indicating that they are likely transported aerosols, while other types of aerosols mainly occurred at heights below 2 km in the Antarctic
and Arctic. The maximum OF of dust-related aerosols mainly occurs at 6 km altitude over the TP. The analysis of back trajectories of the air
masses shows large differences among different regions and seasons. The Arctic region is more vulnerable to mid-latitude pollutants than the
Antarctic region, especially in winter and spring, while the air masses in the TP are mainly from the Iranian Plateau, Tarim Basin and South Asia.

A chefia é um tema presente em todas as etnografias clássicas sobre o Alto Xingu. A despeito disso, há uma clara dificuldade de se encontrar formas adequadas para se descrever a condição dos chefes e suas atribuições. A insistência em temas como poder, autoridade, prestígio e hierarquia, dada a forma como estão ligados à filosofia política moderna, facilmente leva a descrições distorcidas da vida social. Neste artigo procuro colocar em diálogo algumas das etnografias disponíveis e trechos de depoimentos de chefes kalapalo, no intuito de investigar possibilidades descritivas mais próximas do pensamento indígena. Veremos que os Kalapalo utilizam os conceitos de esteio, tronco e corpo para descrever seus chefes, e que tais conceitos nos ajudam a compreender como a assimetria entre chefes e comuns está ligada à produção do parentesco em diferentes escalas.
Negociar a cura
Authors: Ferreira J. Flávio 
Published: March 2021

Pretende-se aqui levantar uma abordagem antropológica de um caso clínico transcultural em um centro de psiquiatria para imigrantes em Portugal. Para tanto, busco inicialmente refletir sobre o encontro de diferentes saberes no campo terapêutico, recorrendo a breves reflexões teóricas acerca das possíveis interpretações dos estados saúde e da doença e das suas relações com o sistema biomédico. Trata-se de considerar o corpo como um complexo biopsicossocial. O corpo é o local de expressão da doença; ele é também o lugar onde se dá a intervenção dos processos de cura: refletindo, ocasionalmente, os métodos culturalmente determinados de diferentes saberes e práticas. Para um indivíduo que, ao padecer de um problema de saúde, sustente explicações sócio-religiosas como causa dos males que o afligem em um centro psiquiátrico-hospitalar, o rumo à cura pode estar cheio de ambiguidades e contradições. Focando-me na história de vida da imigrante Bela-lundù, paciente de um serviço psiquiátrico transcultural em Lisboa, faz-se latente a complexidade de diferentes percepções sobre o corpo e sobre a saúde, assim como as suas éticas e as suas vontades de legitimação.
“Choque de mentes”
Authors: Malvasi Paulo Artur 
Published: March 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma trama etnográfica que se desenvolve a partir do acompanhamento da experiência de um adolescente em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa. A trama descrita expõe a tensão entre a visão normativa do diagnóstico psicológico do adolescente e a utilização da palavra “mente”, pelo próprio adolescente e por seus interlocutores, como categoria, atributo e locução. enquanto o trabalho técnico de delinear um perfil para o “adolescente infrator” o situa no limite da razão, este procura se firmar em uma racionalidade que enfatiza os desafios concretos de sua vida cotidiana - a experiência incerta, dinâmica, arriscada da “vida loka”. O encontro do uso institucional no sistema socioeducativo da linguagem cognitiva e comportamental da psicologia e o recurso do adolescente e seus interlocutores do “crime” à expressão “ter uma mente” configura-se em um campo de disputas simbólicas, indicando o “domínio do mental” como fronteira e interface entre saberes e poderes que permeiam a trajetória do adolescente.
literatura antropológica e a reconstituição histórica do uso da ayahuasca no Brasil
Authors: Antunes Henrique Fernandes 
Published: March 2021

Partindo de um mapeamento bibliográfico e da análise da literatura acadêmica, principalmente a antropológica, empreendo um recorte analítico que privilegia a reconstituição histórica do uso da ayahuasca ao longo de três décadas de debate. Não se trata de discorrer sobre a história do uso da ayahuasca no Brasil, mas de que modo tal história é formulada pela literatura acadêmica. Para isso, o artigo enfoca quatro pontos centrais: o uso ameríndio da ayahuasca, o vegetalismo amazônico, as religiões ayahuasqueiras brasileiras, e os neo-ayahuasqueiros. Analisando algumas das principais publicações acadêmicas busco temas, elementos e argumentos recorrentes no debate, responsáveis por estabelecer genealogias e filiações entre o Santo Daime, Barquinha e União do Vegetal a uma tradição indígena originária de longa duração, e, posteriormente, entre neo-ayahuasqueiros e as chamadas religiões ayahuasqueiras brasileiras.
problema da divisão entre Nós e Eles em Roy Wagner e Bruno Latour
Authors: Estorniolo Milena 
Published: March 2021

O objetivo deste ensaio é fazer aproximações entre as ideias apresentadas nas obras de dois autores de grande influência na antropologia contemporânea: Jamais fomos modernos, de Bruno Latour, publicada em 1991, e A invenção da cultura, de Roy Wagner, publicada em 1975. O enfoque recairá sobre as maneiras como os dois autores apresentam as diferenças e semelhanças entre os “povos tribais, religiosos e camponeses” e os “americanos e outros ocidentais” – como escreve Wagner – ou entre os “modernos” e os “pré-modernos” – como escreve Latour – como um exercício de análise que pretende identificar pontos em comum entre suas abordagens, assim como as diferentes saídas que eles apresentam para o problema da Grande Divisão entre Nós e Eles, que, por sua vez, está ancorada na Grande Divisão entre natureza e cultura.
Brasil em pauta

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar um tipo de pedagogia musical desenvolvido no Brasil em âmbito nacional: o canto orfeônico. Implementado durante os anos 1930 por Heitor Villa-Lobos, o canto orfeônico foi uma disciplina curricular das escolas públicas brasileiras com vistas a desenvolver noções de disciplina, civismo e educação artística em crianças e adolescentes. Tendo como eixo central desta reflexão o teor nacionalista e civilizatório dessa prática pedagógica, presente em todo o processo desse ensino musical, são analisados tanto o processo de ensino-aprendizagem quanto o repertório musical da disciplina. Para tanto, utilizo o material escrito por Villa-Lobos, entre os vários artigos, livros didáticos, relatórios e demais fontes documentais, pertencentes aos arquivos do Museu Villa-Lobos.
Antropologia e medicamentos
Authors: Azize Rogério Lopes 
Published: March 2021

É pressuposto da própria existência deste dossiê o de que as ciências sociais e humanas têm algo a dizer sobre a produção, os usos, a circulação, a divulgação e a regulamentação de medicamentos. Através de várias etapas, moléculas passam por processos de socialização, que podem ou não elevá-las ao estatuto de medicamento; e cada uma destas etapas oferece campo fértil e por vezes pouco explorado para/em pesquisas sócio-antropológicas. Passa da hora de se multiplicarem as pesquisas que pensam medicamentos; até porque medicamentos são bons para pensar, seja qual for sua área de atuação no campo da saúde e dos corpos humanos (e não apenas humanos, como veremos).
floresta pode ser plural?Definições de floresta entre os Kasua da Papua-Nova Guiné
Authors: Brunois Florence 
Published: March 2021

Meu artigo propõe colocar em causa a tendência hegemônica que consiste em negar as diferenças culturais negando as diferenças de tratamento ontológico que os outros não Ocidentais emprestam aos não humanos e a fortiori aos humanos. Trata-se de um questionamento particularmente necessário, se não talvez o mais importante, já que esta tendência tem levado a uma uniformização do modo de ser no mundo ao negar a diversidade de mundos.
Expropriação dos territórios kaiowá e guarani
Authors: Pereira Levi Marques 
Published: March 2021

O presente artigo aborda aspectos do processo de expropriação dos territórios kaiowá e guarani, cujas comunidades foram obrigadas a se recolher em reservas a partir da segunda década do século XX. Tal recolhimento atingiu a maior parte da população e resultou em sérias dificuldades para a reprodução social de suas comunidades, com implicações que perduram até os dias atuais. O artigo aponta alguns dos problemas sociais decorrentes da vida em reserva e a maneira como as lideranças buscam superar essa condição adversa. A principal estratégia das lideranças tem sido a de buscar reaver seus territórios tradicionais, a partir da convicção de que em tais espaços _ denominados de tekoharã _ as famílias desenvolverão formas de convivência mais harmônicas e integradas ao modo correto de viver – teko katu.

Por meio da análise do trânsito de mulheres e de magia entre os grupos Botocudos de Minas ao longo de sua história de contato, este estudo procurou demonstrar a possibilidade da transformação de uma relação sincrônica de hostilidade - representada pelo “rapto” de mulheres e crianças e sua conseqüente vingança - em relações diacrônicas de afinidade, na medida em que a observação da trajetória desses grupos permite situá-los no interior de um contínuo processo de recomposições movido, sobretudo, pela possibilidade de estabelecimento de alianças entre grupos anteriormente considerados rivais.

Published: March 2021

The non-powered separator is one of the key equipment in the dry sand production line, which is responsible for the separation of coarse and fine materials. In this paper, based on the turbulence Standard Model, the air sand powder three-phase fluid model is simplified to gas-solid-solid three-phase flow, and the 3D model of the non-powered separator was built. The process of sand powder separation was simulated by using Fluent software. It is found that the larger the air volume control valve blade angle is, the more sand is removed, and the blade angle can be adjusted in the range of 15° to 60° according to the actual needs in industrial production.

Published: March 2021

There is an overlap of risk factors between heart disease and COPD like cigarette smoking, sedentary lifestyle and old age. The economic burden of COPD is also very high. It is now proven that the only strategy which can reduce COPD incidence is cessation of smoking. The Aim of the present research is to study the Two-dimensional transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) findings in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).The method is that all the enrolled patients were subjected to chest radiography, pulmonary function test, Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram and Doppler study, according to the standard protocol. The findings in our study are consistent with previous studies about the COPD. Total 111(60.7%) of the patients had echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension and 83(45.4%) of the patients in this study had evidence of cor pulmonale. We found significant difference between the duration of smoking and severity of the disease based on FEV1 values (p= 0.005). A significant moderate inverse correlation existed between pack years of smoking and FEV1 scores. (r= - 0.379, P < 0.001).

Introduction: Colistimethate sodium (CMS) is a polymyxin group of antibiotics which were throw out for many years, due to their potential adverse reaction neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. The different guidelines were reported regarding CMS dosing some based on Creatinine clearance (CrCl) and some on weight and CrCl. There are many discrepancies in the prevalence of nephrotoxicity that has been reported which included various definitions of acute renal injury and many CMS doses used in a variety of literature. In EMA guideline they suggested the dose as 9 MIU which is equivalent to 300 mg of CBA given as a maintenance dose with normal renal function patients. In FDA standard dosing of CMS remains 5 mg/kg CBA per day used and also dose is dependent on patient weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dosing criteria of colistimethate sodium associated with nephrotoxicity.
Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted in private sector tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, for duration of six months from July 2020 to December 2020. Sample size was comprised of 157 patients, calculated at 35% prevalence, 95% Confidence Interval and 7% margin of error. Patient included were ≥ 18 years of age, who have received intravenous CMS therapy for greater than 48 hours. Patients having an acute kidney injury or on dialysis (at start of therapy) were excluded. Loading dose and daily dose of CMS was calculated by using actual body weight and Creatinine clearance (CrCl). Cockcroft and Gault equation was used to estimate CrCl before and after the therapy. Nephrotoxicity was assessed by using the RIFLE criteria. SPSS-20 was used for frequency distribution and percentage calculation to show categorical variable.
Results: Among 157 enrolled patients, 101 (64.3%) were male and 56(35.7%) were female (Table 1). Table 2. represents that 68(43.3%) patients were admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) and 89(56.7%) were in medicinal ward; 22.9% patients were in between the age range 60-70 years (Table 3). Among all patients 63(40.1%) patients were at risk of nephrotoxicity, 27(17.2%) patients were developing injury and 14(8.9%) patients were diagnosed to kidney failure and 53(33.8%) patients were found not to developed nephrotoxicity (Table 4). Table 5 exhibits that 48.4% of the patients were receiving dose of CMS using EMA guideline while 51.6% patients were receiving dose of CMS 2.5-5 mgCBA/kg/day according to FDA. Nephrotoxicity was high among FDA regimen (44.5%).
Conclusion: It was concluded that CMS dosing criteria have a significant impact on nephrotoxicity. Close monitoring of renal function, particularly the first week of CMS therapy should be considered to evaluate the renal toxicity of CMS.
