Universidade e diversidade: desafios da multicampia / Uneb DCH IV como estudo de caso
Authors: Felix José Carlos , Salvadori Juliana Cristina 
Published: June 2018

El artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar acerca del proyecto que fundamenta el rol de las universidades estatales brasileñas, en particular el de la Universidade do Estado da Bahia (uneb), a partir de la comprensión de que el modelo desarrollista, vinculado en la uneb a los territorios de identidad y la extensa red multicampus, se organiza basado en una lógica departamental que va en contra de demandas de orden académico y a favor de la lógica racionalista. Además, la uneb hereda, en su reestructuración de las facultades de formación de profesores, desafíos para la calidad de la formación ofrecida en las licenciaturas y para la consolidación de la interiorización del pregrado por medio del fortalecimiento del posgrado y las acciones de investigación, teniendo como reto el conflicto entre movilidad y fijación —docente y estudiantil— que promueve el modelo multicampus; este conflicto se concreta, por ejemplo, en las identidades en conflicto (por ejemplo, la “bahianidad” o la “sertonidad”), materializadas en los currículos, la infraestructura y los recursos.
Un verso de Virgilio Piñera en la capacidad creadora de Reinaldo Arenas: de "La isla en peso" a <i>El color del verano</i>
Authors: López Cruz Humberto 
Published: June 2018

Este trabajo pretende un acercamiento a El color del verano, de Reinaldo Arenas, a través de un posible desplazamiento poético. El escritor cubano comenta un detalle en su autobiografía que pudiera apuntar hacia un laberinto de permutaciones textuales donde se establecería una conexión, quizás inapelable, con un verso del imperecedero poema de Virgilio Piñera “La isla en peso”. El estudio se encamina hacia un retroceso creativo en el que se sugiera el origen de la idea; o sea, la fuente de donde brotara un fragmento fundamental de la trama de El color del verano. Por supuesto, habría que remontarse al canónico poema, publicado en 1943, con la isla y sus habitantes como protagonistas, para comprender la narrativa hiperbólica de Arenas. El paralelo comienza a delinearse entre ambos textos puesto que en uno se canta poéticamente a la isla en peso; en el otro, el peso de la isla hace que, sin plataforma, se hunda en el mar. La idea modificada toma forma y lo que fuera un verso en el poema de Piñera se convierte en el desenlace de la novela de Arenas.

<i>Ser</i> y <i>estar</i> son pan comido: La enseñanza de la gramática mediante expresiones idiomáticas
Authors: Marqués Pascual Laura , DuBois Stefan 
Published: June 2018

Este artículo presenta un estudio sobre la enseñanza de expresiones idiomáticas, modismos o frases hechas como ser un cero a la izquierda en un curso de español como lengua extranjera de nivel intermedio. Tomando como punto de partida recomendaciones de incorporar las expresiones idiomáticas en la enseñanza de clases de segunda lengua (ej. Irujo, 1986b; Liontas, 2003; Tran, 2012), el estudio investiga un acercamiento pedagógico que hasta ahora no ha recibido mucha atención: el uso de los modismos como recurso mnemónico en el aprendizaje de aspectos gramaticales de la lengua. Se aprovecharon los materiales didácticos de Zyzik (2010) y Zyzik y Marqués-Pascual (en prensa) para comparar dos métodos diferentes de la enseñanza explícita de la distinción semántica entre ser y estar: uno con actividades de reconocimiento y producción y otro mediante la enseñanza de expresiones idiomáticas. Los resultados indicaron que la enseñanza de modismos no es necesariamente mejor que otros métodos de enseñanza, pero sí es una opción viable para la práctica de la gramática a la vez que fomenta el aprendizaje del lenguaje idiomático.

Decision to incision interval for emergency caesarean section and postoperative outcomes in a resource limited rural Kenyan public hospital
Authors: Kamotho David , Pertet Anne M. , Ogwayo Isaac 
Published: June 2018

Background: Standard guidelines recommend that delivery by caesarean section should be ideally initiated within 30 minutes of the decision to operate to avoid maternal and foetal compromise in labour. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which these guidelines can be achieved in limited resource hospital.Methods: Authors used a secondary data from 330 patient's files of women who had a caesarean section from December 2013 retrospectively to January 2012.Results: The main indications for caesarean section was obstructed labour (18.5%) for mothers and foetal distress (6.4%). Though 74% of the mothers gave consent to be operated within the 30-minute guideline, only 3% were prepared for operation within this period. Only 24% of the caesarean sections were conducted within one hour after the decision was made for the operation. About 38% of the women, and 30% of the babies developed complications after the caesarean section. Haemorrhage was the leading complication in mothers while the main complication for babies was babies with an Apgar score of 5 and below.Conclusions: The 30- minute recommended guideline for caesarean section was not achieved, and there was evidence of adverse post-operative outcome as a result of not meeting the global standards.
Comparative evaluation of simultaneous administration of mifepristone and misoprostol; and misoprostol alone for induction of second trimester abortion
Authors: Jain Ankita , Agarwal Arpit 
Published: June 2018

Background: The present study was conducted with the aim to assess the safety and efficacy of misoprostol alone and misoprostol with simultaneous mifepristone for second trimester termination of pregnancy.Methods: The study was conducted on 160 cases, divided in two groups of 80 cases each. In the study group 200 mg mifepristone and 200 μgm misoprostol given together on admission followed by miso every 3 hrs upto a maximum of 8 doses or until the abortion occurs, whichever occurs early. In the control group only miso was given in the same dose regime. If abortion did not occur within this duration it was considered failure of method. The results were analysed.Results: The success rate in first regimen was 98%. Mean induction abortion interval was significantly shorter in the study group, 8.62±1.96 h as compared to 14.5±3.01 h in the control group. The mean dose of the misoprostol required was significantly less in study group. The side effects like nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea were observed more in control group (30%) in comparison to study group (12.1%).Conclusions: Mifepristone with simultaneous misoprostol is better than misoprostol alone and there is no need to wait for 24 hr after mifepristone for administration of misoprostol.

Authors: Gupta Abhilasha , Verma Aruna , Madan Iti , Kashyap Monika 
Published: June 2018

Background: The objectives of the study was to assess the efficacy of mifepristone in priming the cervix/inducing labor over next 96 hrs in term pregnancy.Methods: In this single blind randomized controlled trial 200 women with term pregnancy beyond 39 weeks and Bishop’ score <6 were randomly allocated into two groups. Tab Mifepristone 400 mg orally was given to women in study group (n=100) and no intervention in control group (n=100). On follow up one case was lost in control group. All women were observed for change in the bishop’s score or onset of labor in next 96 hrs. If Bishop’s score was <6, the choice of induction was left on the clinician/patient.Results: Mean induction to delivery interval, duration of active phase and improved Bishop score were 79.35±53.43 hr, 2.47±1.23 hr, 6.68±1.69 for study group versus 148±65.66 hr, 3.09±1.45 hr, 5.8±2.15 for control group (p value is <0.001) respectively. Seventy one (71%) women in study group and 39 (39.3%) women in control group delivered vaginally within 96 hrs without any need of augmentation. There were 9 (9%) caesareans in study group and 24 (24.2%) caesareans in control group but no instrumental delivery in both groups. There was no statistically difference in perinatal outcomes between two groups.Conclusions: Mifepristone is an effective drug for cervical ripening and initiation of labor when given in term pregnancy beyond 39 weeks with poor Bishop’s score (<6) and appearing to reduce need for other agent for augmentation of labor.

Total Wrist Arthroplasty
Authors: Srnec Jason J. , Wagner Eric R. , Rizzo Marco 
Published: June 2018

* There are limited motion-sparing salvage options for patients with pancarpal wrist arthritis. Total wrist arthroplasty is one option that has long been used in an attempt to preserve motion while relieving pain and wrist dysfunction; however, enthusiasm for the procedure has been tempered by high rates of complications.* In an attempt to minimize or eliminate these complications, recent implants have been redesigned with a more semiconstrained arc of motion and ellipsoidal articulation. Furthermore, the distal component has undergone many different modifications to improve bone growth into the implant.* Short-term small series have shown promising improvements in terms of the rate of complications as compared with previous-generation designs.

Well-performed studies are required to determine the most effective treatments.
Assessing impacts of water regulations on alleviating regional water stress with a system dynamics model
Authors: Huang Huiping , Wang Jiangfeng , Han Yuping , Wang Lei , Li Xinsheng 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Many areas around the world are faced with water scarcity and virtual water can provide ways to resolve the problem. This paper presents a comprehensive water system based on a system dynamics model to assess how water regulations from the viewpoint of virtual water affect the regional water stress index in the Haihe River Basin, China. The results show that green water absorption, blue water consumption, virtual water flow, and water use efficiency play important roles in the water resources system. Water stress can be relieved by improving the infiltration coefficient, irrigation efficiency, industrial water use efficiency, and virtual water import.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Cyanobacteria are known for their extensive and highly visible blooms in rivers or dams in Africa. One of the most important cyanobacteria is Microcystis aeruginosa which can synthesise various microcystins that may affect the health of humans and animals. Accurate and efficient detection of microcystins in water is thus important for public and veterinary health. Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), a commercially-available ELISA kit (Abraxis) and a newly-developed Norwegian ELISA (putatively cheaper and more robust) were used to detect microcystins in fresh water in South Africa. Water samples were collected monthly at two sites, the Hartbeespoort Dam and a crocodile breeding dam. Extremely high microcystin concentrations (exceeding 360 μg L−1) were detected in the Hartbeespoort Dam during January 2015, whereas the microcystin concentrations in the crocodile breeding dam peaked during March–April 2015. Both ELISAs were positively correlated when analysing water samples ‘as is’ and following resin adsorption and methanol extraction. However, following resin adsorption and methanol extraction of the water samples, the correlation between the two assays was much stronger. These results suggests that the two ELISAs provide comparable results. If the Norwegian-developed ELISA can be packaged and made available as a user-friendly kit, it could be used successfully in surveillance programmes to monitor microcystin concentrations in fresh water bodies in Africa.

Authors: Arya Richa , Gupta Satya Prakash , Paliwal Sarvesh , Kesar Seema , Mishra Achal , Prabhakar Yenamandra Subrahmanya 
Published: June 2018

Background:
β-Site amyloidal precursor protein (APP) cleavage enzyme (BACE-1) is
reported as prime cause for progession of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is a form of dementia characterized
by degeneration of neurones in brain. Therefore, attempts have been made to find potent
inhibitors of this enzyme.

Methods:
The paper presents an division-based 2D quantitative structure-activity relationship
(QSAR) study on a series of BACE-1 inhibitors to analyse the structural features that may be important
to increase the potency of the compounds.

Results:
The study led to predict some potential leads for the development of potent inhibitors of
BACE-1. One of the molecule with pyrrolidine and pyrrolidinone substitutions exhibited drugreceptor
interactions comparable with reference drug.

Conclusion:
The hydrogen-bond interactions between the molecules and the receptor basically
control the BACE-1 inhibition activity of the compounds.
FDG-PET Scan in Sarcoidosis: Clinical and Imaging Indications
Authors: Maccarone Marica T. 
Published: June 2018

Background:Sarcoidosis is an unknown etiology multisystem inflammatory disease in which noncaseating granulomas (a collections of inflammatory cells) form and grow in various organs, involving predominantly lungs, intrathoracic lymph node, skin and eyes. It most commonly affects patients between 20 and 40 years old of age but it could be observed at any age (female predominance; rare in Asians). </P><P> Discussion: The areas of the body usually affected by sarcoidosis are lungs, skin, or lymph nodes; pulmonary and mediastinal involvement is seen in over of 90% of patients. Less commonly eyes, liver, heart, and brain are involved. Any organ, however, can be affected. </P><P> Early diagnosis of sarcoidosis can be difficult due to few signs and symptoms in its early stages, and when disease does occur, it may mimic other pathologies, and is made up with chest X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT)-High Resolution CT (HRCT), gallium scans. Fluoro-Deoxy Glucose– Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) is another useful tool to assess the extent of disease and has a potential to evaluate the clinical management of patients responding or not to the treatment.Conclusion:In this review, we would summarize in brief the clinical indications of PDG-PET in sarcoidosis and report the imaging features of the main organs involved in this disease.
Sensitive Detection of Human Hemoglobin by MWCNTs-ionic Liquid: Anthraquinone Modified Electrode
Authors: Banaei Aghdas , Shourian Mostafa , Dashtestani Fariba , Eskandari Khadijeh 
Published: June 2018

Introduction:
Today, nano-composite gels based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes in room
temperature ionic liquid (MWCNTs-IL-Gel) are an interesting subject.

Materials and Methods:
The nano-composite gels showed convenient electrochemical properties
against redox activities of electroactive biomolecules. Also, the evaluation of hemoglobin
concentration is a critical point in the clinical sample. So, the kind of nano-composite gel which is
composed of NH2 functionalized MWCNTs and [amim] Br IL and anthraquinone 2-carboxilic acid
(AQ) was fabricated and applied in electrochemical detection of hemoglobin. Cyclic voltammograms
of NH2.MWCNTs-IL-AQ modified electrode exhibited redox peak sat -0.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 M
phosphate buffer solution ((pH 7.0).

Results:
As the hemoglobin added into the measured solution, the redox current decreased.

Conclusion:
It can be concluded that the increment in the concentration of hemoglobin caused the
decrease in the redox currents in cyclic voltammetry. The NH2.MWCNTs-IL-AQ would detect the
concentration of hemoglobin from 1.64 x10−8 to 4.89x10−7 M.
