ABSTRACT.
Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), or type 2 lepra reaction, presents with crops of evanescent, tender erythematous nodules accompanied by fever, arthralgia, malaise and organ-specific manifestations and is seen in borderline and lepromatous leprosy. The drugs approved for ENL include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, systemic steroids, thalidomide and clofazimine. The management of ENL is challenging because long-term steroid use leads to steroid dependence. The present patient had severe steroid recalcitrant ENL with vesicular and pustular lesions mimicking Sweet’s syndrome and was treated effectively with a low-dose thalidomide regimen (100 mg/d) as opposed to high dose (400 mg/d) recommended in literature. We discuss the patho-mechanics and clinical utility of a low-dose thalidomide regimen as an effective treatment option for ENL.

OBJECTIVES: To compare consultations at the Otorhinolaryngological Department at a tertiary referral centre between the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 and the same period in 2019, as well as to study the impact of deferring visits on disease progression.

METHODS: The emergency consultations during these time periods were analysed retrospectively. The effect of postponing appointments on disease progression was examined for 122 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, for 50 patients with a benign tumour and for 22 patients with the diagnosis of a malignant tumour. To compare disease progression, patients with the diagnosis of a malignant tumour were matched to patients seen over the same period in 2019.
RESULTS: During the lockdown, a reduction of 44.1% in emergency consultations compared with 2019 was observed. The largest significant decrease of consultation numbers was seen for otitis media and for Eustachian tube dysfunction. Fewer patients with tonsillitis sought emergency assistance; however, no difference in frequency of abscesses was observed. Disease progression was seen in 44.4% of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. In 2020, 18.8% of patients with the diagnosis of a malignant tumour showed disease progression, yet no difference from the previous year was observed.
CONCLUSION: Fewer emergency consultations took place during the COVID-19 lockdown; among others, there were fewer visits due to otitis media and tonsillitis. However, no change in the incidence of complications was noted. Almost 50% of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis showed disease progression, leading to prolonged suffering due to the rescheduling of appointments. The treatment of patients with the diagnosis of a malignant tumour was not affected by the postponement of consultations.

Published: October 2021

O mundo aparenta estar cada vez menor, mais restrito, com todos os seus espaços explorados e expostos à curiosidade e à ação humana. A visitação em áreas protegidas e, em especial, nas unidades de conservação vem acarretando a degradação do meio ambiente em todas as suas manifestações pela ausência de Planos de Manejo, pela inexistência e/ou ineficiência da fiscalização ambiental e principalmente pelo desconhecimento dos visitantes e comunidade residente no entorno da mesma. Muitas são as iniciativas de se buscar a preservação e o manejo ambiental de unidades de conservação, considerando-se sua importância, seus recursos ambientais associados e os serviços ambientais que presta. Partindo desta premissa, é que se torna imprescindível e exeqüível a elaboração de projetos que contemplem o planejamento, gerenciamento e o monitoramento de áreas protegidas para que se alcance a compatibilização da visitação com a proteção da mesma em toda a sua integralidade. O cenário escolhido para a realização deste estudo é a Área de Proteção Ambiental do município de Barra do Piraí localizada à rua Antônio Félix Pinheiro, nº1025, bairro Represa. A partir do histórico, sua criação, pesquisa e evolução da atual área protegida, detectou-se algumas fragilidades e potencialidades que nortearam este estudo e que subsidiaram as propostas descritas e consubstanciada pelos projetos apresentados e que poderão ser implementadas com o objetivo de humanização, educação ambiental de caráter formal e não-formal, recuperação e otimização daquele espaço de suma importância para os barrenses.

Choreographing From Within
Authors: Green Diana F. 
Published: October 2021

One school of thought regarding choreography says to teach only the rules of fundamental design and form and have students create from formulas. Another school of thought eschews the fundamentals and focuses on creativity.
Author Diana Green espouses both theories and blends them beautifully in Choreographing From Within: Developing a Habit of Inquiry as an Artist. Her approach to integrating the art and craft of choreography grounds students in the fundamentals and takes the fear out of creativity.
Green uses an inquiry-based approach to engage students, placing them at the center of the learning and allowing for multiple pathways of learning. Rather than present a cookbook approach with recipes to follow, Green offers a thorough understanding of the medium, provides examples, and allows students to learn, explore, and create based on their own unique styles.

Abstract. Wetlands are the single largest natural source of methane
(CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas affecting the global climate. In turn, wetland CH4 emissions are sensitive to changes in climate conditions such as temperature and precipitation shifts. However, biogeochemical processes regulating wetland CH4 emissions (namely microbial production and oxidation of CH4) are not routinely included in fully coupled Earth
system models that simulate feedbacks between the physical climate, the
carbon cycle, and other biogeochemical cycles. This paper introduces a
process-based wetland CH4 model (WETMETH) developed for implementation
in Earth system models and currently embedded in an Earth system model of
intermediate complexity. Here, we (i) describe the wetland CH4 model,
(ii) evaluate the model performance against available datasets and estimates from the literature, and (iii) analyze the model sensitivity to perturbations of
poorly constrained parameters. Historical simulations show that WETMETH is
capable of reproducing mean annual emissions consistent with present-day
estimates across spatial scales. For the 2008–2017 decade, the model
simulates global mean wetland emissions of 158.6 Tg CH4 yr−1, of which 33.1 Tg CH4 yr−1 is from wetlands north of 45∘ N.
WETMETH is highly sensitive to parameters for the microbial oxidation of
CH4, which is the least constrained process in the literature.

MONITORING OF TRITIUM POLLUTION OF THE SHAGAN RIVER WATERS
Authors: Aktayev M. R. , Aidarkhanov A. O. , Aidarkhanova A. K. , Pronin S. S. , Iskenov A. O. 
Published: October 2021

The article presents the results of monitoring the waters of the Shagan river on the change in the specific activity of tritium for 2016–2020. The Shagan river is the longest surface watercourse on the territory of the Semipalatinsk Test Site, flowing along the eastern part of the Balapan site, where, together with the tributary, the Ashisu, flows into the “Atomic Lake”. Further, at a distance of 110 km downstream, the river forms a left-bank tributary of the Irtysh river. Previous studies have revealed and repeatedly confirmed the fact of radioactive contamination of the surface and ground waters of the Shagan river technogenic radionuclide 3H. It was revealed that the main source of pollution is groundwater entering the surface waters of the river. In this regard, in order to ensure long-term monitoring of 3H pollution of river waters, seasonal monitoring was carried out in three sections of the river located along its channel, starting from the outlet from the “Atomic Lake” heap and further downstream to the confluence with the Irtysh river.As a result of the observations, it was found that the specific activity of 3H in surface and ground waters, depending on the observation time, varies in a wide range of values. So, in the area of maximum pollution, the content of 3H changes from the minimum – 8 Bq/kg in the spring, to the maximum 370 000 Bq/kg in the summer-autumn period. At the exit points of the Shagan river outside the landfill, the concentration of 3H varies from 90 Bq/kg to 12 400 Bq/kg. In the area of the confluence of the Shagan river in Irtysh river content of 3H does not exceed 110 Bq/kg.
