Comunicación indígena en el noroeste argentino: el caso de la radio FM OCAN (Salta, Argentina)
Authors: Villagra Emilia , Milana María Paula 
Published: June 2018

El artículo describe y analiza la experiencia comunicacional recientemente consolidada por la Organización de Comunidades Aborígenes de Nazareno (OCAN) en torno a una de las primeras radios originarias creadas en el ‘territorio Qullamarka’ luego de la sanción de la Ley de Servicios de Comunicación Audiovisual en Argentina en el año 2009. Dicha experiencia implicó la construcción de un espacio de formación dentro del paradigma del derecho a la comunicación, al mismo tiempo que significó un espacio integrado a la búsqueda de reconocimiento de otros derechos. Reflexionando sobre nuestro rol en el acompañamiento y colaboración con la consolidación de la radio FM OCAN, el objetivo de este trabajo es dar cuenta de los desafíos que presenta la comunicación pensada y ejercida desde organizaciones indígenas, así como su potencialidad transformadora, en tanto expresión de lucha de los pueblos originarios en defensa de sus territorios, identidades y culturas locales.

From the 17 August 2015 in the EU member states, except Denmark, UK and Ireland, there is applied regulation No 650/2012, which establishes legal rules on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and acceptance and enforcement of authentic instruments and on the creation of a European Certificate of Succession in the matters of intercountry succession. As the substantive succession law of the EU member states still holds a lot of differences, in the cases of intercocuntry succession it becomes very important to determine applicable law not only when the succession is already opened but also before it, when the testator is still alive and plans its estate post mortem. In the article there are overviewed the legal rules on applicable law before the application of regulation No 650/2012 and the changes brought by regulation, such as the unity of the succession, common connecting factor – last habitual residence of de cujus and possibility for testator to choose applicable law (profesio iuris). Also in the article there is analized the content of the applicable law, its coherance with other related matters and the legal instruments regulating them and also the newest practice of CJEU. The purpose of this article is to reveal the changes in determining the applicable law in intercountry succession cases and its benefits and challanges for interested parties.
Investigation of the Differences of Immunological Characteristics of Mecsina Hemostopper®, Ankaferd Blood Stopper® and Tranexamic Acid Used as Haemostatic Agents with Cell Culture Study
Authors: Tümer Mehmet Kemal , Çiçek Mustafa 
Published: June 2018

Objective: Hemorrhagic complications may develop in many branches
of medicine and dentistry after or during the treatment independently of the
extent of the procedure performed. Various biomaterials have been used in the
medical and dental practice procedures before and after surgical procedures.
The aim of this study was to compare the immunological efficacies and effects
of Ankaferd Blood Stopper, Tranexamic acid used as anti-hemorrhagic agents and
Mecsina Blood Stopper, a new anti-hemorrhagic agent.Method: The immortalized HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein
Endothelial Cell) cell lines, which are human umbilical cord cells and used in
many studies on coagulation and formation of fibrin, were commercially
purchased for the study. The cells, 5000 cells per flask for each drug, were
distributed into the 5 groups (ankaferd, Tranexamic acid, mecsina, distilled
water-administered negative and control without any administration). Results: According to the data we obtained, TNF alpha (Tumor Necrosis
Factor
Alpha) levels were found to be lower in the cells, to which mecsina was
administered at concentrations of 1: 2 and 1:10, than other drug groups
(p&lt;0,05). There was a significant increase in IL-1B (Interleukin 1B) and IL6
(Interleukin 6) levels in all drug administrations at both concentrations of 1:
2 and 1: 10 compared to the control group (p &lt;0,05). While there was no significant increase in
TNF alpha levels in all drug administrations at a concentration of 1: 2 (p
&lt;0,05), there was no significant correlation in mecsina administration at a
concentration of 1:10 (p&gt; 0,05), but a significant increase was found in
tranexamic acid (TA) and ankaferd administrations (p &lt;0.05).

Conclusion: In conclusion, it has been
observed that different anti-hemorrhagic agents administered at different
concentrations in HUVEC cell groups produced a significant increase in intracellular
cytokine levels. Considering the
results, we can say that MH (Mecsina Hemostopper) administration is a more
effective anti-hemorrhagic agent than administrations of ABS (Ankaferd Blood
Stoper) and especially TA (Tranexamic Acid).

Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
The fitting of aligners on anchorage teeth is a crucial factor in clear aligner orthodontics. The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the fitting of two aligner systems, Invisalign and CA-Clear Aligner, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Materials and Methods:
Passive aligners (Invisalign and CA-Clear Aligner) were adapted on resin casts obtained by stereolithography (STL) files of a patient, and then sectioned buccolingually. Upper and lower central incisors, upper and lower first premolars, and upper and lower first molars were the regions analyzed. Representative microphotographs of sections were taken with a scanning electron microscope (SEM); a total of 160 micrometric measurements were obtained and analyzed with ANOVA tests.

Results:
Invisalign provided an overall better fit on lower incisors (F = 11.48, P = .0095) and on lower molars (F = 19.93, P = .0012). Considering the different regions, Invisalign provided better fit at the gingival edge of the buccal aspect on lower incisors (F = 11.33, P = 0.0056) and at the gingival edge of the lingual aspect on upper premolars (F =5.34, P = 0.0047). On the upper molars, Invisalign provided better fit at the gingival edge of the buccal aspect, while CA-Clear Aligner provided better fit at the buccal maximum convexity, on the buccal cusp, on the occlusal groove and at the palatal cusp. On lower molars, Invisalign showed a more accurate fit at the buccal aspect points.

Conclusions:
Invisalign and CA-Clear Aligner exhibited comparable fit on anchorage teeth. Invisalign provided better fit at the gingival edges of aligners, while the CA-Clear Aligner provided better fit on complex occlusal surfaces.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate quality of recovery from general anesthesia in horses after induction with propofol and ketamine versus midazolam and ketamine.
DESIGN Prospective randomized crossover study.
ANIMALS 6 healthy adult horses.
PROCEDURES Horses were premedicated with xylazine (1.0 mg/kg [0.45 mg/lb], IV), and general anesthesia was induced with midazolam (0.1 mg/kg [0.045 mg/lb], IV) or propofol (0.5 mg/kg [0.23 mg/lb], IV), followed by ketamine (3.0 mg/kg [1.36 mg/lb], IV). Horses were endotracheally intubated, and anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. After 60 minutes, horses were given romifidine (0.02 mg/kg [0.009 mg/lb], IV) and allowed to recover unassisted. Times to first movement, sternal recumbency, and standing and the number of attempts to stand were recorded. Plasma concentrations of propofol or midazolam were measured following induction and immediately before recovery. Recovery quality was scored by 3 graders with a recovery rubric and a visual analog scale.
RESULTS Number of attempts to stand was significantly lower when horses received propofol (median, 2; range, 1 to 3) than when they received midazolam (median, 7.5; range, 3 to 16). For both the recovery rubric and visual analog scale, recovery quality was significantly better when horses received propofol than when they received midazolam. Plasma drug concentration at recovery, as a percentage of the concentration at induction, was significantly lower when horses received propofol than when they received midazolam.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that for horses undergoing short (ie, 60 minutes) periods of general anesthesia, recovery quality may be better following induction with propofol and ketamine, compared with midazolam and ketamine.

Could an increase in vigilance for spinal tuberculosis at primary health care level, enable earlier diagnosis at district level in a tuberculosis endemic country?
Authors: Galloway Karen M. , Parker Romy 
Published: June 2018

Background: Expert clinicians and researchers in the field of spinal tuberculosis (STB) advocate for early identification and diagnosis as a key to reducing disability, severity of disease, expensive surgery and death, especially in tuberculosis (TB) endemic countries like South Africa. South Africa has the highest incidence per capita of tuberculosis in the world, and a conservative estimate of the incidence of STB in South Africa is 8–16:100 000. People living with STB may initially present to primary health care (PHC) centres, where the opportunity exists for early identification. Spinal pain is the most common presentation of STB, but even this symptom may not be present. Occasionally the only symptoms are neurological injury, dysphagia or referred pain. Computerised tomography-guided biopsy remains the diagnostic gold standard for STB.Aim: A narrative review was undertaken to investigate the evidence available that could assist with the early diagnosis of STB.Method: Articles were searched for and retrieved from three databases and assessed for quality and relevance to primary settings in a TB endemic country.Results: The following evidence-based, affordable and available tools could facilitate early diagnosis of STB at PHC and district hospital levels: (1) back pain screening questions, undressed spinal physical examination, HIV and antiretroviral therapy history, (2) erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, platelets, haemoglobin, white cell count (WCC), sputum for GeneXpert and accurate weight measurement, (3) physiotherapy and/or medical and/or speech therapy assessment, (4) full spinal radiograph, chest radiograph, abdominal ultrasound, urine lipoarabinomannan (LAM) if CD4 < 200 and ultrasound-guided biopsy of superficial abscesses, (5) clear referral guidelines at all levels, (6) a positive response to treatment to confirm the diagnosis.Conclusion: These affordable and simple actions at PHC and district levels could facilitate earlier diagnosis of STB.

Published: June 2018

Aim:
The purpose of the study was to analyze and summarize the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of spinal monostotic fibrous dysplasia (MFD) as well as evaluate the clinical value of CT and MRI in MFD diagnosis.

Materials and Methods:
CT (n = 4) and MRI (n = 5) images of six patients with pathologically confirmed spinal MFD were examined. The assessed image features included location, shape, rib involvement, vertebral collapse, margin, attenuation, and sclerotic rim on CT, as well as signal intensity, dark signal rim, and enhancement pattern on MRI.

Results:
In total, four of six patients underwent CT scanning. The most common findings on CT scanning were expansile lesions (n = 4), sclerotic rims (n = 4), and ground-glass opacity (GGO) (n = 4). In total, five of six patients underwent MRI. The lesions were low-signal intensity (n = 2), low-to-isointense signal intensity (n = 1), and low-signal intensity with several isointense portions (n = 2) on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI). The lesions were low-signal intensity (n = 1), isointense to high intensity (n = 1), and isointense signal intensity with several high portions (n = 3) on T2WI. A dark signal rim was found in most cases on T1WI and T2WI (n = 4). The lesions (n = 2) showed obvious enhancement.

Conclusions:
The CT and MRI manifestations of spinal MFD have the following characteristics: expansile lesion, GGO, sclerotic rim, and no obvious soft-tissue mass. The combined use of CT and MRI examinations is necessary for patients with suspected spinal MFD.

Published: June 2018

AbstractEnzymatic synthesis of para‐lacto‐N‐hexaose and its isomeric structures as well as those α1,2‐fucosylated variants naturally occurring in human milk oligosaccharide (HMOs) was achieved using a sequential one‐pot enzymatic system. Three glycosylation routes comprising bacterial glycosyltransferases and corresponding sugar‐nucleotide‐generating enzymes were developed to facilitate efficient production of extended type‐1 and type‐2 N‐acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) backbones and hybrid chains. Further fucosylation efficiency of two α1,2‐fucosyltransferases on both type‐1 and type‐2 chains of the hexasaccharide was investigated to achieve practical synthesis of the fucosylated glycans. The availability of structurally defined HMOs offers a practical approach for investigating future biological applications.magnified image
Solvent Control over Supramolecular Gel Formation and Fluorescence for a Highly Crystalline π‐Conjugated Polymer
Authors: Hayashi Shotaro , Takigami Atsushi , Koizumi Toshio 
Published: June 2018

AbstractIn π‐conjugated polymers (πCPs), crystallinity and fluorescence typically exhibit a trade‐off relationship. Here, we have synthesized a highly crystalline and fluorescent π‐conjugated polymer with a simple alternating structure of 1,2,4,5‐tetrafluorophenylene and 3,3′‐dihexyl‐2,2′‐bithiophene units. In film, the polymer exhibited efficient red‐colored fluorescence, an improved quantum yield (Φsol=13 %→Φfilm=23 %) and a crystalline structure. Interestingly, supramolecular gel formation occurred in appropriate solvents, and the macrostructure and fluorescence properties of the gel could be directly controlled by the choice of the solvent. The polymer self‐assembled into a spherical form that exhibited red fluorescence in non‐aromatic solvent (1,2‐dichloroethane) and into a fibrous form that exhibited yellow fluorescence in aromatic solvent (mesitylene).

Published: June 2018

AbstractRecently, purified allergens have been utilized for allergen‐specific IgE tests, which are highly useful because of their excellent specificity and sensitivity in identifying allergic patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of tropomyosin‐specific IgE test in the diagnosis of shrimp allergies in Japan. We enrolled 27 patients with shrimp allergy and five patients with atopic dermatitis, who had no history of allergic reactions to shrimp but showed positive results in tropomyosin‐specific IgE test, in this study. Tropomyosin‐specific IgE was determined by IgE immunoblotting and tropomyosin‐specific IgE test. Involvement of carbohydrate moieties in IgE binding to the allergens was examined by periodate treatment. Tropomyosin‐specific IgE was detected in 13 and positive in 10 of the 27 patients with shrimp allergy, whereas shrimp‐specific IgE was detected in 21 and positive in 20 of these 27 patients. Of the 13 patients with detectable levels of tropomyosin‐specific IgE, seven were confirmed to have tropomyosin‐specific IgE by immunoblotting analysis, whereas no IgE binding was seen in the five patients with atopic dermatitis, indicating the high specificity of the tropomyosin‐specific IgE test. The level of tropomyosin‐specific IgE was well correlated with those of shrimp‐specific IgE and Der p 10‐specific IgE. Our findings indicated tropomyosin is a minor but distinct allergen in patients with shrimp allergy, especially causing symptoms of OAS.
Natural and anthropogenic drivers of cub recruitment in a large carnivore
Authors: Broekhuis Femke 
Published: June 2018

AbstractRecruitment is a critical parameter governing population dynamics and influences population persistence. Understanding the drivers of recruitment is therefore important for conservation, especially for long‐lived mammals such as large carnivores, which have low reproductive rates, rendering them prone to extinction. Using cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) as a model species, I investigated the variation in cub recruitment in relation to habitat and the abundance of tourists and predators. Per litter, female cheetahs on average raised 1.71 ± 1.35 cubs to independence, but this varied depending on the presence of open habitat and the abundance of tourists, both of which had a negative effect on cub recruitment. More specifically, female cheetahs that were mostly found in open habitats on average raised 1.69 ± 0.14 cubs per litter to independence compared to 3.04 ± 0.26 cubs in denser habitat. Similarly, female cheetahs that were exposed to high tourist abundance on average raised 0.21 ± 0.72 cubs to independence compared to 2.32 ± 0.11 cubs in low tourism areas. Neither lion nor spotted hyaena abundance had an impact on the number of cubs that were recruited. Based on these findings, I recommend that the importance of a heterogeneous environment should be taken into consideration in habitat management, restoration efforts, and reintroduction programs. In addition, tourist quotas should be put in place in high visitation areas and strict wildlife viewing guidelines, such as number of vehicles, tourist behavior, time spent, and distance to a sighting, should be enforced. Cub recruitment is an important component of species persistence and incorporating these findings could aid conservation efforts for species that are increasingly under threat.
The new FreeStyle libre flash glucose monitoring system improves the glycaemic control in a cohort of people with type 1 diabetes followed in real‐life conditions over a period of one year
Authors: Paris Isabelle , Henry Corinne , Pirard Françoise , Gérard Anne‐Catherine , Colin Ides M. 
Published: June 2018

SummaryAimsUsing the novel FreeStyle Libre (FSL), glucose monitoring (FGM) system becomes increasingly popular among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is associated with less and shorter hypoglycaemic events without deterioration of HbA1c. There are not yet data reporting the impact of FGM in people with T1D in real‐life conditions. We sought of evaluating the tolerance, the acceptance and the efficacy of the FGM system in routine medical practice.MethodsThis 12‐month observational study included 120 individuals with T1D evaluated every 3 months. After having been instructed about FGM utilization, participants were trained to optimize the glycaemic control.ResultsParticipants stopped immediately of measuring capillary blood glucose (2.88 ± 0.12 per day) (mean ± SEM) after having received the first FSL device and the number of scans per day increased up to 8.87 ± 0.58 per day. HbA1c levels decreased from 8.51% ± 0.14% at baseline to 7.77% ± 0.09% after 3 months to slightly increase to 7.92% ± 0.09% at 12 months, in correlation with the number of scans per day. The number (but not the duration) of hypoglycaemic events slightly increased from 16.9 ± 1.44 per month at baseline to 24.0 ± 2.91 per month at 12 months, after reaching a peak of 26.4 ± 2.31 per month at 6 months. They were correlated with improved HbA1c.ConclusionOur study shows that using the FGM system improves HbA1c levels in people with T1D along with a moderate increase in the number of mild hypoglycaemic events. The new FGM system facilitates the therapeutic empowerment of people with T1D, but in a context of structured education.
