Laugier–Hunziker syndrome in endocrine clinical practice
Authors: Miličević Tanja , Žaja Ivan , Tešanović Deša , Radman Maja 
Published: July 2018

SummaryLaugier–Hunziker syndrome (LHS) is a rare, benign and acquired disorder characterized by hyperpigmentation of the oral cavity and lips along with longitudinal melanonychia. No underlying systemic abnormalities or malignant predisposition is associated with it. In everyday clinical practice, an endocrinologist encounters certain endocrine conditions (e.g. Addison’s disease, McCune–Albright syndrome) that present with, inter alia, mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. Even though LHS is easily distinguished from endocrine entities mentioned earlier, diagnostic evaluation usually requires skilled and thorough practitioner. Since it is the diagnosis of exclusion, a number of systemic conditions must be ruled out prior to making the final diagnosis. However, its major differential diagnosis is primarily Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, which carries an increased risk of cancer. Here, we report a case of a young woman who was referred to the endocrinologist for diagnostic evaluation of dark-colored lesions of the oral cavity and nails. All performed laboratory tests were within reference range. Endoscopic gastrointestinal evaluation did not reveal neoplastic formations. Owing to an adult-onset, asymptomatic clinical course and negative diagnostic findings, we made a final diagnosis. In this case, target diagnostic evaluation notably reduced the need for additional expensive and invasive procedures and treatments.Learning points:Laugier–Hunziker syndrome is a rare, acquired cause of asymptomatic, benign mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation.Prior to making a final diagnosis, certain medical entities with overlapping clinical features must be excluded.Endocrine conditions that usually present with the hyperpigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes (e.g. Addison’s disease, McCune–Albright syndrome) can be easily ruled out based on clinical and laboratory findings.Its major differential diagnosis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is characterized by melanotic macules of the face and mouth, intestinal polyposis and significantly increased risk of different types of cancer, especially gastrointestinal.Anamnesis, physical examination and target diagnostic evaluation reduce the need for additional invasive and expensive procedures and treatment.

A relação entre Ética e Educação em Karl Marx
Authors: Souza Antonio Carlos 
Published: July 2018

A Educação e a Ética estão presentes de maneira explícita na produção teórica de Karl Marx. Ambas reivindicam a possibilidade da classe trabalhadora ter consciência de sua situação efetiva, ter conhecimento crítico dos mecanismos do modo de produção dominante, para exercer sua missão histórica. Uma Ética crítica e uma Educação revolucionária são fundamentais no processo de superação da educação e da moral capitalista que reduzem o ser humano a uma individualidade mutilada, mercantil, não permitindo o pleno desenvolvimento das suas capacidades criativas e o livre desenvolvimento de todos os individuos.
Ensino de Filosofia: tendências e desafios
Authors: Gallo Silvio 
Published: July 2018

O debate em torno do ensino de Filosofia no Brasil, especialmente na educação média, não é novo. Estudos esparsos e pontuais, embora em número bastante reduzido, podem ser encontrados ao longo da história da educaçãono país, notadamente no século XX, depois da criação da Universidade de São Paulo e de seu Departamento de Filosofia. É, porém, no final da década de 1970 e, sobretudo, durante a década de 1980, que a discussão ganha vulto, mediante a articulação dos Departamentos de Filosofia das universidades brasileiras em torno de uma mobilização para exigir do governo militar a “volta” da disciplina aos currículos da educação média, então denominada segundo grau. Como sabemos, a reforma educacional levada a cabo pelo regime militar por meio da Lei no 5.692/71 tirou do segundo grau essa disciplina, a qual deixou de figurar tanto na chamada “parte comum” quanto na “parte diversificada” dos currículos desse nível de ensino.

Published: July 2018

Objective: to study changes in the cross sectional optic nerve diameter (OND), by using multislice computed tomography (MSCT), in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as those with severe (including mixed) TBI before and after craniotomy; to assess whether this technique can be integrated with a whole-body MSCT protocol in severe mixed TBI (MTBI).Material and methods. OND was retrospectively studied in two selected groups of patients with injuries (a total of 51 patients): Group 1 (n = 40) included 2 subgroups (n = 20 in each) with mild TBI or severe MTBI; Group 2 (n = 11) comprised 2 subgroups with severe TBI who had undergone decompressive (n = 6) or osteoplastic (n = 5) craniotomy with subsequent OND measurement after 12–18 hours. Results.Primary brain MSCT showed that the average OND was 6.12±1,01 mm in severe MTBI and 4.4±0.19 mm in mild TBI (Student’s t = 5.707). After decompressive craniotomy, there was a decrease in OND from 6.26±0.27 to 5.38±0.22 mm (Student’s t = 2.486).Conclusion. Among the patients with severe MTBI, the OND at primary MSCT is significantly greater than that in patients with mild TBI, which may be due to elevated intracranial pressure, as shown by the literature data. There is a statistically significant decrease in OND after decompressive craniotomy and removal of the brain compressive factor. Whole-body MSCT revealed no technical obstacles to the application of an OND measurement technique.

Objective:to assess whether computed tomography (CT) data can be used for metal transitional spine fixation in patients with thoracic and thoracolumbar scoliosis at the stage of surgical intervention planning.Material and methods.Thirty-nine patients with grades 3 and 4 (according to V.D. Chaklin) or type I–III (according to the classification proposed by L. Lenke) thoracic and thoracolumbar idiopathic scoliosis were examined. All the patients underwent a comprehensive radiographic and CT examinations. The radiomorphometric features of the spine were used to plan surgical interventions.Results.The protocol was clarified for preoperative scoliosis examination using CT data on cervicothoracic and thoracolumbar vertebrae. A personalized approach to planning an operation on the basis of CT examination permits one to eliminate destabilization of the supporting elements of the corrective system at the most. Reducing the risk of postoperative losses of correction contributes to the use of multi-rod constructs.Conclusion.CT that enables a comprehensive assessment of existing pathology and clarification of the nature of impending surgery should be carried out in patients with thoracic and thoracolumbar idiopathic scoliosis at the stage of preoperative planning for metal transitional spine fixation.

Published: July 2018

Objective: to assess whether multislice computed tomography (MSCT) of the lung can be used to diagnose the early manifestations of heart failure in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) during minimally invasive surgical interventions.Material and methods. Lung MSCT was performed in 54 patientsaged 43 to 89 years with CHD before and after interventions. The identified group included 24 patients who had undergone coronary stenting, 26 who had cardiac pacemaker implantation, and 4 patients who had conduction pathways ablation. Left ventricular failure was assessed by hemodynamic disorders in the pulmonary circulation, by taking into account the use of known pathophysiological data. Successive lung MSCT examinations were performed before and after minimally invasive surgical interventions, by recording local densitometric changes in the lung parenchyma.Results. A procedure was proposed to objectively assess comparable ling MSCT images in the same patient in the special imaging window. The density of the lung parenchyma reduced by more than 10 Hounsfield units in 24 patients in the next periods after surgery, which was regarded as a sign of better left ventricular pumping function. Conclusion. The study showed that lung MSCT was highly sensitive in diagnosing left ventricular dysfunction in patients with CHD with improved coronary blood flow and normalized heart rate.

Archivos escolares que construyen identidad: el liceo público, historia y patrimonio de los chilenos
Authors: Sandoval Díaz Rodrigo Esteban , Lyon María José Vial 
Published: July 2018

Históricamente se ha asignado al liceo público chileno el rol de ser un espacio de aprendizaje y formación ciudadana. Si bien, desde su fundación en 1813 fue el lugar por excelencia de formación para los futuros dirigentes de la nueva república, el aumento de la cobertura y el creciente acceso de otros sectores de la sociedad transformaron el tipo de estudiantes matriculados en sus aulas, aunque no su misión original. Hoy, en pleno desarrollo de la sociedad del conocimiento, el desafío de formar sociedades integradas por personas informadas, participativas y respetuosas sigue siendo asunto prioritario de esta y de cualquier institución escolar. El presente proyecto, basado en el rescate y difusión de los archivos documentales conservados por los liceos públicos del país, nace de la necesidad de generar instancias colaborativas de investigación, participación y construcción de memoria histórica para estudiantes y profesores de educación secundaria.
"Le sport c’est la santé". D’un slogan à des actions depuis le XIXe siècle
Authors: Saint-Martin Jean , Attali Michaël 
Published: July 2018

Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, les acteurs du sport et de la santé ont entretenu des rapports ambivalents. Dans le domaine du sport santé, ces relations ont été permanentes en raison d’une définition progressive de la santé, au point de convaincre les acteurs du sport santé d’envisager une définition plurielle et multiforme de la santé. Schématiquement, les modèles explicatifs permettent de mettre en évidence le glissement progressif d’une santé biologique, organique (la santé est le silence des organes et le sport santé contribue à prolonger la vie et à se prémunir des maladies) à un santé totale, un véritable bien être physique, psychique et moral de chaque individu (la santé est considérée comme un synonyme d'épanouissement de la personne).

O trabalho discute as marcas deixadas pelos alunos da seção masculina do 1º Grupo escolar de Campinas “Francisco Glicério”, de 1928 a 1935. Os Livros de Matrículas do Arquivo Histórico da instituição revelaram significativo número de repetências nos anos iniciais do curso primário (1º e 2º anos), com eliminações várias e evasões através de abandono silencioso – sem o registro de suas razões. Se por um lado, as possíveis causas elencadas não se confirmem; por outro lado, permanecem as possibilidades de investigar a educação campineira nos arquivos escolares que buscamos recuperar e preservar.
Spontaneous cervical spinal epidural haematoma in late pregnancy
Authors: Wong Tony , Low Adam 
Published: July 2018

SummarySpontaneous spinal epidural haematoma (SSEH) is rare, especially in pregnancy, and may lead to permanent neurological damage. Presentation varies from altered sensation to paralysis depending on the location and severity of the haematoma. A multi‐disciplinary approach is essential for effective management of such cases. A 39‐week primigravida presented to a district general hospital with an acute cervical neurological deficit. She was transferred to a specialist centre for urgent magnetic resonance imaging followed by sequential caesarean section and cervical epidural haematoma evacuation. The combined procedures were uneventful with a healthy baby delivered and recovering maternal neurology. Co‐ordinating multiple specialties from geographically separate sites created a number of peri‐operative challenges.
Heme Oxygenase-1 and Autophagy Linked for Cytoprotection
Authors: Vasconcellos L.R. , Siqueira M.S. , Moraes R. , Carneiro L.A. , Bozza M.T. , Travassos L.H. 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Heme-oxygenase (HO) catalyzes the main enzymatic step of heme degradation and
generates anti-inflammatory end products with protective roles in physiological and pathological situations. The
importance of HO in pathological conditions is evidenced by its pharmacological inhibition or genetic blockage
in different models of stress such as infection, inflammation and oxidative stress. Under these situations, another
well-known protective process triggered is autophagy. Autophagy is a homeostatic process that eliminates defective
cytosolic components and organelles, allowing cells and tissues to recover through recycling of functional
blocks for anabolic reactions. Recently, studies have demonstrated a link between HO activity and autophagy
activation.

Objective:
In this review, we focus on the interplay between HO and autophagy, and highlight its importance in
homeostasis maintenance under stress conditions.

Authors: Saravani Farhad , Moghadam Ebrahim Saeedian , Salehabadi Hafezeh , Ostad Seyednasser , Hamedani Morteza Pirali , Amanlou Massoud , Faramarzi Mohammad Ali , Amini Mohsen 
Published: July 2018

Background:
The role of microtubules in cell division and signaling, intercellular transport,
and mitosis has been well known. Hence, they have been targeted for several anti-cancer drugs.

Methods:
A series of 3-(alkylthio)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazines were prepared and evaluated for
their cytotoxic activities in vitro against three human cancer cell lines; human colon carcinoma cells
HT-29, human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7, human Caucasian gastric adenocarcinoma
cell line AGS as well as fibroblast cell line NIH-3T3 by MTT assay. Docking simulation was performed
to insert these compounds into the crystal structure of tubulin at the colchicine binding site
to determine a probable binding model. Compound 5d as the most active compound was selected
for studying of microtubule disruption.

Results:
Compound 5d showed potent cytotoxic activity against all cell lines. The molecular modeling
study revealed that some derivatives of triazine strongly bind to colchicine binding site. The
tubulin polymerization assay kit showed that the cytotoxic activity of 5d may be related to inhibition
of tubulin polymerization.

Conclusion:
The cytotoxicity and molecular modeling study of the synthesized compounds with
their inhibition activity in tubulin polymerization demonstrate the potential of triazine derivatives
for development of new anti-cancer agents.
Human Activity Recognition using Fourier Transform Inspired Deep Learning Combination Model
Authors: Jun Kyungkoo 
Published: July 2018

Background & Objective:
This paper proposes a Fourier transform inspired method to classify
human activities from time series sensor data.

Methods:
Our method begins by decomposing 1D input signal into 2D patterns, which is motivated by
the Fourier conversion. The decomposition is helped by Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) which
captures the temporal dependency from the signal and then produces encoded sequences. The sequences,
once arranged into the 2D array, can represent the fingerprints of the signals. The benefit of
such transformation is that we can exploit the recent advances of the deep learning models for the image
classification such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).

Results:
The proposed model, as a result, is the combination of LSTM and CNN. We evaluate the
model over two data sets. For the first data set, which is more standardized than the other, our model
outperforms previous works or at least equal. In the case of the second data set, we devise the schemes
to generate training and testing data by changing the parameters of the window size, the sliding size,
and the labeling scheme.

Conclusion:
The evaluation results show that the accuracy is over 95% for some cases. We also analyze
the effect of the parameters on the performance.
Sampling Sensor Nodes to Extend the Longevity of Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Baqer Mohammed , Balbis Luisella 
Published: July 2018

Background and Objective:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are one of the most important
elements in the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. It is envisaged that WSNs will seamlessly bridge
the physical world with the Internet resulting in countless IoT applications in smart cities, wearable
devices, smart grids, smart retails amongst others. It is necessary, however, to consider that sensing,
processing and communicating large amounts of sensor data is an energy-demanding tasks. Recharging
or replacing those battery-powered sensor nodes deployed in inaccessible locations is generally a
tedious and time-consuming task. As a result, energy efficient approaches for WSN need to be devised
in order to prolong the longevity of the network.

Methods:
In this paper, we present an approach that reduces energy consumption by controlling the
sampling rate and the number of actively communicating nodes. The proposed approach applies compressive
sensing to reduce the sampling rate and a statistical approach to decrease the sample size of
sensor nodes.

Results and Conclusion:
The proposed approach is expected to significantly increase the lifetime of
the network whilst maintaining the event detection accuracy.
mMedia: An Efficient Transmission Policy for Multimedia Applications using Mobile Cloud Computing
Authors: Verma Rajesh Kumar , Panigrahi Chhabi Rani , Pati Bibudhendu , Sarkar Joy Lal 
Published: July 2018

Background & Objective:
Multimedia aggregates various types of media such as audio,
video, images, animations, etc., to form a rich media content which produces an everlasting effect in
the minds of the people.

Methods:
In order to process multimedia applications using mobile devices, we encounter a big challenge
as these devices have limited resources and power. To address these limitations, in this work, we
have proposed an efficient approach named as mMedia, wherein multimedia applications will utilize
the multi cloud environment using Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), for faster processing. The proposed
approach selects the best available network. The authors have also considered using the Lyapunov
optimization technique for efficient transmission between the mobile device and the cloud.

Results:
The simulation results indicate that mMedia can be useful for various multimedia applications
by considering the energy delay tradeoff decision.

Conclusion:
The results have been compared alongside the base algorithm SALSA on the basis of different
parameters like time average queue backlog, delay and time average utility and indicate that the
mMedia outperforms in all the aspects.
