Authors: Soetanto Astri , Bewina Laurensius Kevin 
Published: November 2024

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by irregular, rapid, and synchronized neuronal discharges from the cerebral cortex. Advances in neuroimaging have significantly enhanced the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pediatric epilepsy. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), when evaluated by skilled neuroradiologists, facilitates improved identification of the seizure onset zone using epilepsy-specific MRI protocols. Objective: This review aims to analyze cerebral MRI findings in pediatric epilepsy across age groups and sexes. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using major scientific databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, and SciELO. Articles were screened based on inclusion criteria, starting with titles, followed by abstract and full-text evaluations. The following keywords were used in the literature search: "Magnetic Resonance Imaging" or "MRI" AND "Childhood" or "Pediatric" AND "Epilepsy." Results: Analysis of 16 studies revealed 1,504 MRI anomalies. Cortical malformations were the most frequent anomaly, identified in 230 cases (15%). The second most frequent finding, hippocampal/mesial temporal sclerosis, was observed in 160 subjects (10%). Other anomalies included infections in 76 subjects (5%), brain tumors in 37 subjects (2%), periventricular leukomalacia in 37 subjects (2%), encephalomalacia in 65 subjects (4%), vascular disorders in 41 subjects (2.7%), cysts in 75 subjects (5%), hydrocephalus in 33 subjects (2.1%), and demyelination disorders in 33 subjects (2.1%). Conclusion: MRI scanning is particularly beneficial for children with newly diagnosed epilepsy, especially those with focal seizures, focal EEG abnormalities, or abnormal neurological examinations. It is also valuable for children who present with refractory seizures that other imaging modalities are unable to detect.

O objetivo geral da pesquisa é discutir sobre a possibilidade de aplicação do princípio da insignificância no crime de tráfico de entorpecentes. Para a realização da pesquisa foi utilizado o procedimento metodológico da revisão bibliográfica e documental com abordagem qualitativa, em que os artigos científicos, teses e dissertações consultados na construção do trabalho foram encontrados em repositórios digitais, como Google Scholar, Scielo e BDTD. Por meio do trabalho foi possível compreender que o entendimento majoritário da doutrina e da jurisprudência entendem não ser possível aplicar tal princípio ao tráfico, por se tratar de um crime de perigo abstrato, que não carece de comprovação de lesividade para decretar o dano da conduta. Todavia, conforme se verificou, este entendimento é aplicado nos tribunais de forma automática, desconsiderando as características do caso concreto, de forma desproporcional e totalmente destoante com os princípios do Direito Penal, como princípios da razoabilidade, lesividade e intervenção mínima.

Published: November 2024

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful cosmic events that release intense gamma-ray radiation from distant galaxies, with potential implications for renewable energy systems, particularly solar photovoltaics. We investigate the relationships between temperature, solar energy, and light intensity in the context of GRBs' impact on solar photovoltaic systems. Analysis of a dataset comprising 77 observations reveals weak negative correlations: -0.086 for temperature, -0.096 for time, and -0.030 for temperature in relation to solar energy, indicating minimal influence from GRBs. T-statistics of -0.749 and -0.833 suggest non-significant results at conventional levels, supported by p-values of 4.54E-6 for temperature, 0.223 for solar energy and time, and 0.208 for solar energy and temperature, all exceeding the 0.05 threshold. These findings imply that GRBs likely have little significant effect on solar photovoltaic systems in terms of the examined variables, necessitating further research with larger sample sizes or alternative methodologies for more conclusive insights.

Introduction: The health system aims to ensure the improvement of both individual and collective health. In Argentina, where health is recognized by the National Constitution itself as a right, the system is mixed where social security, the offer of public management services, and the private sector coexist) and access to health care is assumed to be guaranteed. For central cardiovascular surgical procedures, consultation with a dentist is mandatory in order to avoid infectious endocarditis, a very common complication.Objective: to evaluate the type of care that patients access when this consultation is indicated from a public hospital that does not have the service in the hospital itself.Method: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out, where 65 medical records of patients who underwent valve replacement surgeries at the El Cruce Hospital in Florencio Varela were evaluated, in the period from January to December 2021. An observational guide was used to collect data. Results: It was determined that 75.5% of the patients treated did not have social security coverage, compared to 24.5% who did have social security or prepaid insurance, and that of the former, 97% accessed the consultation through the public health system, leaving only 3% within the so-called “disadjustment area” where the system does not fulfill its purpose.Conclusions: The Argentine public health system, specifically in health region VI, works correctly.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: in this research, by analogy to the definitions of knowledge and skill invariants, the concept of value invariants is defined, it is based on the fact that responsibility, solidarity, industriousness and dignity constitute the value invariants. Development: a pedagogical strategy for the formation of values ​​in students of the Dentistry career is presented, which consists of five stages and actions in each of them, which is conceived in two dimensions; The first is the teaching, in which, on the basis of the logic and components of the educational teaching process, a hierarchical treatment of values ​​is suggested, on the basis of which is the systematization of the value invariants and, on this, the proposes to address the rest of the values ​​of the social assignment; The second dimension is the extra-teaching dimension, in which the modes of action of the values ​​to be formed in the social activity of the students can be valued in greater richness. Conclusions: the fact is revealed and argued that responsibility, solidarity and industriousness make up a dialectical triad, which on the axiological level becomes the driving source of the value formation process, while dignity constitutes the cell of said process.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Tooth retention can be caused by local causes: lack of space, density of the covering bone, very dense mucous membrane, improper retention of temporary teeth, premature loss of temporary teeth and infection in the bone or mucosa.Objective: to describe the different techniques and procedures associated with third molar surgery. Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out by searching for content on tooth retention and third molar surgery in SciELO, Redalyc, Scopus, PubMed, from articles published in international and open access journals. 40 studies were obtained, of which 32 were identified as appropriate for this research. Scientific articles, books and theses in English and Spanish, in full text, were included. Development: The eruption of third molars over the years has been one of the main causes of malocclusions, lesions, infections, cysts, tumors and pathological factors, which is why their excision is performed, and due to their proximity to the mandibular ramus and their proximity to the maxillary sinus. During the procedure, complications arise due to the need to perform an incision, osteotomy and odontosection, which are very traumatic, causing edema, bleeding, pain and trismus, in which it has been shown that the application of osteotomy techniques reduces the operating time and thus speeds up the avulsion of the third molars. Conclusions: The graduate profile of the Dentistry career establishes that general practice dentists must be prepared for the need for an extraction, and in many cases the surgical technique helps and facilitates, therefore, their training is important when performing an extraction.

The accessibility and retrieval of digital images via search engines on mobile devices have increasingly gained momentum among learners, attributed to the presence of various user-friendly search options. Several strategies do exist for the retrieval of digital images through search engines. The initial approach is Text Based Image Retrieval (TBIR), while the alternative is Graphical Based Image Retrieval (GBIR). Research examining the effects of different retrieval styles on learning outcomes within educational settings is notably limited. This study seeks to identify the most effective retrieval technique for improving self-regulated learning (SRL) skills in middle school students. The study employed a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the two research groups, with the first experimental group utilising TBIR and the second experimental group utilising GBIR. The sample for this study comprised 60 middle school students, who were assigned at random to the two distinct groups for analysis. A scale for the detection of self-regulated learning has been developed in the present study, comprising 30 items. The findings indicated that the experimental group utilising GBIR demonstrated a higher level of self-regulated learning compared to the TBIR group. Expanding guidance for learners in utilising GBIR for accessing digital images is essential.
