Brachial Plexus Injuries Associated With Open Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis
Authors: Ransom Erin F. , Ficke Brooks , Ponce Brent A. , Meyer Richard D. 
Published: September 2019

Case:
We report 2 cases of brachial plexus injury after open subpectoral biceps tenodesis. In 1 patient, the nerves likely sustained a stretch injury related to retractor use. In the other patient, multiple nerves were severed, and we hypothesize that they were caught in a drill bit.

Conclusions:
To decrease the risk of nerve injury due to traction or inadvertent wrapping of nerves in the drill bit or tenodesis screw, we recommend careful retractor use and tendon fixation techniques that use a protective sleeve during both drilling and fixation.

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Background . Patients with chronic kidney disease, including these after kidney transplantation (KTx), have higher cardiovascular mortality. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) detects subtle changes in the left ventricle (LV) and is more sensitive predictor of cardiovascular mortality than the LV ejection fraction (LVEF).The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of impaired GLS among kidney transplant recipients with preserved LVEF. We also aimed to identify possible clinical factors responsible for GLS impairment.
Methods . A total of 79 patients following KTx with preserved LVEF and no history of cardiac disease were evaluated. We assessed echocardiogram parameters with the calculation of GLS, laboratory parameters, presence of diabetes, hypertension, duration of haemodialysis (HD) and time after KTx. An impaired GLS value was set on ≥-18%. The Classification and Regression Trees and stepwise logistic regression analysis were used to identify the factors related to impaired GLS.
Results. Among 79 (42 females, mean age 60.3) kidney transplant recipients with preserved LVEF, 39% had impaired GLS. In stepwise logistic regression analysis, two variables related with GLS≥-18%: duration of HD before KTx longer than 27.5 months (OR 4.48, 95% CI 1.46-14.38, P=0.01), and eGFR greater than 60mL/min/1.73m2 (OR 0.155, 95% CI 0.024-0.967, P= 0.049).
Conclusions. In our study group, a total of 39% of KTx patients with preserved LVEF had impaired GLS. The main risk factor of GLS impairment was the prolonged time of HD (>27.5 months) prior to KTx, whereas a good renal graft function (eGFR>60mL/min/1.73m2) only marginally proved to be a protective factor.

Abstract
Background : The data of Brucella endocarditis is relatively little. This study was to summarize the characteristics of epidemiology and clinical features of brucella endocarditis.
Methods: 23 patients with brucella endocarditis collected in our hospital from July 2007 to August 2018 were analyzed.
Results: Among the patients, 91.3% was male, the age was 42.6±12.4 years old. 69.6% patients had contacted with cattle and sheep. The most common symptom in these patients was chest tightness (60.8%), shortness of breath (60.8%), fever (43.5%) and anemia (43.5%). In the patients with anemia, 50% also had a lower platelet (including one patient had lower leucocyte level). Blood culture before taking antibiotics is easy to find Brucella sp . The aortic valve (91.3%) is most commonly involved, followed by mitral valve (17.4%) and tricuspid valve (8.7%). 87.0% of patients followed with complications, including cardiac failure (73.9%), pulmonary infection (43.5%), hydropericardium (34.8%), renal insufficiency (21.7%), multiple organ disfunction (4.3%), bacterial aneurysm rupture (4.3%), paravertebral abscess (4.3%), cerebral infarction (4.3%), pericardial stenosis and adhesion (4.3%). 47.8% of patients exhibited hyperglobulinemia and 80% of patients with renal insufficiency had hyperglobulinemia. 22 patients had suffered antibiotics and surgery treatment and one patient gave up treatment. 2 patients (8.7%) died because of ventricular fibrillation and refractory heart failure.
Conclusion: Brucella endocarditis was a complex disease and could lead to multiple organ disfunction. Cardiac failure was the main reason for death and the mortality was 8.7%.

Published: September 2019

Background:
Glycemic variability is a risk factor for total death and cardiovascular events. There are
no obvious guidelines for the direct treatment of glycemic variability, but it can be improved with the treatment of
postprandial hyperglycemia.

Objective:
We compared the effect of repaglinide versus the combination of mitiglinide and voglibose, used to
improve postprandial hyperglycemia, on glycemic variability in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods:
We performed an open-label randomized cross-over trial between April 2016 and April 2018. Patients
with type 2 diabetes who were admitted to our hospital were enrolled in our study (n = 12). Glycemic variability
was assessed using a continuous glucose monitoring system.

Results:
The average glucose level of the repaglinide phase (146.1 ± 20.7 mg/dl) and the combination of
mitiglinide and voglibose phase (132.3 ± 19.8 mg/dl) were similar (P = 0.10). The standard division (P = 0.0005),
coefficient of variation (P = 0.006), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (P = 0.002) of glucose were lower
in the combination of mitiglinide and voglibose phase than in the repaglinide phase.

Conclusion:
Treatment with the combination of mitiglinide and voglibose might be more effective than repaglinide
for the improvement of glycemic variability.

Published: September 2019

Introduction:

Blind people lose an important degree of independence, which makes it difficult to carry out different activities of daily life.

Objective:
To develop and evaluate a telecare model that consisted of guiding a person with visual disability through a video conference to carry out activities of daily life.

Methods:
The telecare model is based on the guidance through voice commands. Telecare begins when a blind person, through a mobile device, transmits images, video and voice (video conference) in real-time to a person with normal vision in a different place that works as a guide, so that the guide knows the details of the blind person. The environment of the person that can solve immediate information needs, location or selection of objects requires visual support. It was evaluated with 37 people with visual disabilities through the Lawton & Brody scale.

Results:
It is an improved progressive evolution in the level of independence of the Lawton and Brody scale, which presents an advance of just over 2 points in the scale thanks to the tele-assistance application (p = 0.000).

Conclusion:
The participants were at a moderate level of dependence and, after the tele-assistance tests, their level was mild. The highest score was obtained in activities related to money management and purchases. In contrast, participants had less value activities within the home. The results allowed us to verify the effectiveness of telecare to improve the independence and well-being of people with visual disabilities.

Authors: Gusova Z. R. , Dzantieva E. O. 
Published: September 2019

Background. During a long time, men appraise the problem of overweight as a natural process of aging in the conditions of social demand and physical inactivity. Therefore, there is usually no reason to see a doctor and conduct a clinical examination. In this regard, obesity-associated metabolic diseases are often diagnosed late in the complication stage.Objective. Assessing the effects of obesity and androgen deficiency on the development of metabolic disorders in men.Materials and methods. 120 men with obesity aged 29–56 years who considered themselves healthy were examined. The patients were divided into two groups: in-group 1 included 56 people with a normal level of total testosterone (T), in-group 2 included 64 people with a level of total T less than 12.1 mmol / l, accordingly. The main indicators of carbohydrate, lipid, purine metabolism, and the level of sex hormones were investigated.Results. Аnalysis of the metabolic status of obese men who considered themselves completely healthy revealed a high incidence of dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, insulin resistance (IP), carbohydrate metabolism disorders and purine metabolism, and fatty hepatosis. The most significant changes were identified in the group of patients with testosterone deficiency.Conclusion. Visceral obesity in men is a high-risk factor for the formation of metabolic disorders. Androgen deficiency completed obesity leads to the formation of more severe metabolic changes in patients and the development of erectile dysfunction. Men with visceral obesity, even in the absence of actively complain need careful examination. It should include, along with the assessment of biochemical indicators of metabolic status, also control of the level of total serum testosterone.
TRILHA DE SANGUE - DIREITOS HUMANOS E A ABOLIÇÃO DA PENA DE MORTE
Authors: Moraes Thiago Perez Bernardes de 
Published: September 2019

Como resposta direta as atrocidades incorridas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial o direito internacional absorveu uma série de restrições contra a pena de morte, seja exigindo sua abolição ou estabelecendo limites para sua aplicação. O movimento de abolição da pena de morte ganha musculatura concomitante com a capilarização da democracia pelo mundo, sendo que a década de 1990 pode ser considerada o grande ápice deste processo. Nesse ponto o objetivo deste trabalho é ilustrar a evolução da pena de morte enquanto instrumento de pressão política e de punição criminal e a posterior evolução de instrumentos humanos que visam não só colocar limites à aplicação da pena capital, mas também almejam a abolição da mesma.
