Authors: SANTOS Lilyane de Oliveira , CATTANI André Pereira , SPACH Henry Louis 
Published: February 2017

A pesca de arrasto de camarões é considerada muito impactante aos sistemas bentônicos por ser pouco seletiva. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi caracterizar a ictiofauna acompanhante da pesca de arrasto das embarcações com potência acima de 45 HP. Foram realizadas amostragens mensais, entre agosto de 2000 e julho de 2001 para barco e agosto de 2004 e julho de 2005 para bote no litoral do Paraná. Foram capturados, com barco e bote, 45.277 e 57.387 peixes, respectivamente. Com ambas embarcações foram capturaram 99 táxons. A famí­­lia Sciaenidae foi a mais representativa em número de espécies e indiví­­duos. Houve diferenças na ictiofauna entre as estações do ano e entre as áreas ao sul e ao norte da desembocadura do Complexo Estuarino de Paranaguá tanto para barco como para bote. As diferentes frotas atuam sobre o mesmo recurso, mas incidem de maneira distinta com relação í­Â riqueza de espécies e abundí­¢ncia ictiofauna acompanhante e medidas de gestão, como a implementação de dispositivos de redução da captura acidental, devem levar em consideração as caracterí­­sticas não somente da embarcação mas também do petrecho de pesca utilizado.

Investigou-se o efeito das marés de sizí­­gia na qualidade fí­­sica, quí­­mica e biológica da água de canais-de-maré, considerando a sazonalidade regional e a distribuição espacial do furo do Taici e do furo da Estiva no estuário do Caeté. As variáveis abióticas foram determinadas in situ durante o ciclo diurno da maré. Os nutrientes e a clorofilaí a foram determinados por espectrofotometria. Em Taici houve aumento significativo da salinidade (18,57Â±2,78) e do nitrito (12,93Â±7,92 ÂµM) no perí­­odo seco, enquanto que no chuvoso foram registradas elevadas turbidez (>900UNT) e clorofila-a (12,09Â±5,72 Âµg.L-1). Em Estiva, a salinidade apresentou valores distintos no perí­­odo seco (36,84Â±1,37) e no chuvoso (21,56Â±5,54). Na enchente foram registrados valores de pH (7,72Â±0,18) e oxigênio dissolvido (6,62Â±0,54 mg.L-1) superiores aos da vazante. Os valores da temperatura (29,26Â±1,08 Â°C), fosfato (1,73Â±1,43 ÂµM) e clorofila-a (33,6Â±14,74 Âµg.L-1) foram mais elevados na vazante. O furo da Estiva sofreu influência de águas costeiras, e o do Taici, influência da drenagem do manguezal.
Abject Poverty and Multiple Deprivations in Rural India Based on SECC 2011 in Comparison with NSSO and NFHS: Summary Findings Analyzed
Authors: Abraham Joseph 
Published: February 2017

<em>This paper analyzes latest findings from the recently completed Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011(SECC2011), by focusing on rural abject poverty and multi-dimensionality of it by the pre-set seven deprivation parameters across rural India .As per schema of SECC2011 for analyzing the various facets of multi-dimensional poverty, firstly one set of households will be excluded on the basis of 13 automatic exclusion parameters, and subsequently another set of households will be automatically included on the basis of five parameters and finally the remaining set would be subjected to verifications by seven deprivations. Thereby, the SECC 2011 had set in motion an effort to capture some specifics of multidimensional poverty as desired by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) in the Government of India. It is surmised here that the union of automatically included and deprived households will provide a base line of the number of poor through a multi-dimensional mode. The intersection of automatically included households with the seven deprivations variables will also identify the socio economic characteristics of the abjectly poor. Besides presenting the above analysis of SECC data, an attempt is made to compare these findings with those based on the unidimensional National Sample Survey (NSSO) poverty ratios ( by S.Tendulker 2009, C Rangarajan 2012) and multi-dimensional (R. Radhakrishna et al 2010) NFHS data based studies. A separate set of multi-dimensional poverty numbers were arrived at in the past for three Five Year Plans (1992-97, 1997- 02, 2002-07) through the Below Poverty Line (BPL) Censuses that were under taken by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) to identify the poor households through the State/UT Governments. These later estimates of poor households were never permitted to exceed the official poverty ratio worked out by the Planning Commission for respective State/UT governments. The concepts used to arrive at these poor households will be briefly reviewed here as a prelude to explaining the modes operandi of identifying multi dimensional poverty via SECC 2011. A committee was set in up in February 2013 under the Chairmanship of Abhijit Sen , then Planning Commission Member, to examine the SECC indicators for data analysis, to recommend appropriate methodologies for determining classes of beneficiaries for different rural development programmes. Some of the recommendations of the committee would also be put to scrutiny. </em>

Published: February 2017

Background:
Cellular remodeling in rotator cuff muscles following a massive rotator cuff tear is poorly understood. The aim of the current study was to provide histological evidence to elucidate the mode of muscle loss in advanced human rotator cuff disease and to assess tissue-level changes in relation to findings on noninvasive imaging.

Methods:
Rotator cuff muscle biopsy samples were taken from the scapular fossae from 23 consecutive patients undergoing reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in order to evaluate muscle composition in severe rotator cuff disease. Markers of vascularity; inflammation; fat distribution; and muscle atrophy, degeneration, and regeneration were quantified.

Results:
The samples primarily consisted of dense, organized connective tissue (48.2% ± 19.1%) and disorganized, loose connective tissue (36.9% ± 15.9%), with substantially smaller fractions of muscle (10.4% ± 22.0%) and fat (6.5% ± 11.6%). Only 25.8% of the biopsy pool contained any muscle fibers at all. Increased inflammatory cell counts (111.3 ± 81.5 macrophages/mm2) and increased vascularization (66.6 ± 38.0 vessels/mm2) were observed across biopsies. Muscle fiber degeneration was observed in 90.0% ± 15.6% of observable muscle fascicles, and the percentage of centrally nucleated muscle fibers was pathologically elevated (11.3% ± 6.3%). Fat accumulation was noted in both perifascicular (60.7% ± 41.4%) and intrafascicular (42.2% ± 33.6%) spaces, with evidence that lipid may replace contractile elements without altering muscle organization.

Conclusions:
Dramatic degeneration and inflammation of the rotator cuff muscles are characteristics of the most chronic and severe rotator cuff disease states, suggesting that muscle loss is more complicated than, and distinct from, the simple atrophy found in less severe cases.

Clinical Relevance:
In order to address degenerative muscle loss, alternative therapeutic approaches directed at muscle regeneration must be considered if muscle function is to be restored in late-stage rotator cuff disease.

The most common complications after reverse shoulder arthroplasty in order of decreasing frequency included instability, periprosthetic fracture, infection, component loosening, neural injury, acromial and/or scapular spine fracture, hematoma, deltoid injury, rotator cuff tear, and venous thromboembolism (VTE).The most common complications after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) in order of decreasing frequency were component loosening, glenoid wear, instability, rotator cuff tear, periprosthetic fracture, neural injury, infection, hematoma, deltoid injury, and VTE.Glenoid component wear and loosening remain a common cause of failure after anatomic TSA, despite advances in surgical technique and implant design.Diagnostic confirmation of infection after shoulder arthroplasty remains a challenge. In the setting of a painful and stiff shoulder after arthroplasty, the surgeon should have a heightened suspicion for infection. Inflammatory markers may be normal, radiographs may be inconclusive, and prosthetic joint aspiration may be negative for a causative organism.
Direct potable reuse – a feasible water management option
Authors: Lahnsteiner J. , van Rensburg P. , Esterhuizen J. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Direct potable reuse (DPR) can be more economic than indirect potable reuse as no environmental buffer is needed and conveyance and blending of the purified water with other potable sources is basically less expensive. Long-term experience in Windhoek (48 years) shows that treated domestic sewage can be safely and cost-efficiently utilized for potable reclamation (0.72 €/m3). A multiple barrier strategy is employed in order to attain the highest possible safety levels. There are three types of barriers: non-treatment, treatment and operational barriers. In recent years, new DPR schemes have been implemented in South Africa and in the USA, and the major difference between all the new reclamation processes and the Windhoek New Goreangab water reclamation plant lies in the employment of desalination process units. This topic and other issues, such as the use of ozone and biological activated carbon filtration, are addressed. Reclamation process optimization (increase in sustainability) and the attainment of greater public acceptance are the major challenges facing the promotion of DPR, which should become a common and widely used water management option within the next 5–10 years.
Revision of Echocardiographic Indications and Findings in Neurologically Ill Patients
Authors: Stöllberger Claudia , Wegner Christian , Finsterer Josef 
Published: February 2017

Background and Objective:
Little is known about the general indications for echocardiography and the prevalence of abnormalities detected by echocardiography in patients who are referred from a neurological department. Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) is associated with neuromuscular disorders and embolism. The aim of the study was to assess the indications for echocardiography in patients from a neurological department and to review the cine-loops of the examinations in order to assess the frequency of abnormal echocardiographic findings with special regard to LVHT.

Methods and Results:
Included were 126 patients, 58 females (mean age 65 years). Indications were stroke (84%), heart failure (6%), endocarditis (6%) and arrhythmia (3%). The most frequent abnormalities were impaired relaxation (71%) and left ventricular wall thickening (63%). Females were older (68 vs. 62 years, p = 0.0214) and more frequently had normally sized left ventricles than males (98 vs. 88%, p = 0.0376). Patients ≥66 years more frequently had stroke as an indication (91 vs. 77%, p = 0.05), showed a thickened myocardium (72 vs. 53%, p = 0.0272), valvular abnormalities (52 vs. 13%, p = 0.0000) and impaired relaxation (86 vs. 54%, p = 0.0001) than patients <66 years.
LVHT was diagnosed in 3 patients; in one of them the diagnosis was already known. In 45% LVHT and in 38% left ventricular thrombus could neither be excluded nor established since the image quality was poor.

Conclusion:
Care should be taken to visualize the left ventricular apical regions when investigating patients referred from a neurologic department in order not to overlook LVHT and thrombi within the left ventricular apex.
Ozone Treatment on Dentin Hypersensitivity Surfaces – A Pilot Study
Authors: Lena Karlsson , Marianne Kjaeldgaard 
Published: February 2017

Background:
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a frequent condition in adults and difficult to treat. The aim of this single-blind, randomised controlled clinical trial was to investigate immediate and long-term effect of ozone treatment (Prozone, W&H NORDIC AB) for 12 seconds on hypersensitive teeth compared to placebo treatment, using a split-mouth design.

Methods:
26 patients (12 M, 14 F, mean age 44+ 2) were included in the study having at least two teeth with confirmed DH in different quadrants of the dentition (each subject had one test and one control tooth). A visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to measure the patients´ pain perception immediately and at a long-term follow-up three months later.

Results:
Significant reduction in pain perception from DH surfaces was demonstrated from ozone treated test teeth as well as in placebo treated control teeth. We found a moderate (16.2%) but significant pain relief (p< 0.012) over time in 57.7% of all treated teeth.

Conclusion:
Results from this study confirm previously published results showing no significant effect of ozone treatment on hypersensitive teeth compared to placebo treatment.

Published: February 2017

Background:Radiographic severity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shows such great variance that some patients never develop syndesmophytes throughout the entire disease span, whereas some develop bamboo spine relatively early.Objective:To study the association betweenERAP1,IL23RandPTGER4single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and radiographic severity in AS patients.Methods:rs27044 and rs30187 (ERAP1), rs11209032 (IL23R) and rs10440635 (PTGER4) SNPs were genotyped in 235 AS patients fulfilling the modified New York criteria. Patients were classified as mild- and severe-AS according to modified Stoke AS spinal score (mSASSS). Mild-AS is defined as having mSASSS of “0” following at least 10 years of disease duration. Severe-AS is defined as having mSASSS of >20 (patients with mild vertebral changes (i.e.squaring or erosions) were omitted for clear stratification) regardless of disease duration.Results:The genotype distributions and allele frequencies ofERAP1rs27044 and rs30187,IL23Rrs11209032 andPTGER4rs10440635 SNPs were similar in mild- (n=171, mSASSS=0, 55.6% HLA-B27 positive) and severe-AS patients (n=64, mSASSS=48.5±17.8, 73.4% HLA-B27 positive). After adjustment for clinical differences between groups (gender, disease duration, HLA-B27 and smoking status) by logistic regression analysis, none of the alleles in the investigated SNPs were found to be associated with radiographic severity of AS.Conclusion:In radiographically well-categorized AS patients,ERAP1rs27044 and rs30187,IL23Rrs11209032 andPTGER4rs10440635 SNPs are not found to be associated with radiographic severity of AS.

Authors: De Langhe Ellen , Bossuyt Xavier , Shen Long , Malyavantham Kishore , Ambrus Julian L. , Suresh Lakshmanan 
Published: February 2017

Background:
Antibodies to salivary gland protein 1 (SP1), carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6) and parotid secretory protein (PSP) were discovered in an animal model of Sjogren’s syndrome (SS). Their expression was noted in patients with SS, especially those with lower focus scores on lip biopsies and those with early disease lacking antibodies to Ro and La.

Objective:
The current studies evaluated these autoantibodies in patients with long-standing SS expressing high levels of anti-Ro antibodies and in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc) and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD).

Method:
Sera were obtained from patients and evaluated by ELISA for IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies to SP1, CA6 and PSP.

Results:
IgA anti-CA6 antibodies were noted in 38% of these patients, but anti-SP1, CA6 and PSP IgM or IgG antibodies were identified only in a minority of patients. In patients with secondary SS, antibodies to SP1/CA6/PSP were more sensitive and specific than anti-Ro .

Conclusion:
While more studies are needed, antibodies to SP1, CA6 and PSP provide valuable markers for the diagnosis of primary and secondary SS, especially early in the course of the disease.
Docentes viviendo de acuerdo con la normativa para contrarrestar el matonismo
Authors: Vargas Morúa Elizarda 
Published: February 2017

Este artículo pretende informar a la población docente acerca de las implicaciones legales de la ejecución de su trabajo, específicamente en cuanto al tema del matonismo o bullying. Se hará referencia a la normativa costarricense aplicable a este, tanto en el plano preventivo como en el sancionatorio, la obligatoriedad de respetar el principio del debido proceso y algunas resoluciones ilustrativas de recursos interpuestos por estudiantes ante la Sala Constitucional. Actualmente, no existe una normativa específica al respecto en Costa Rica, pero existen leyes conexas que guardan relación con la violencia escolar en general y que son aplicables al bullying o matonismo (estos términos se utilizan de manera indistinta en este documento); también existen intentos legislativos de regulación. Este trabajo se realiza desde la perspectiva de las personas educadoras, dada la importancia que tiene el trabajo preventivo desde las aulas, lo cual conduce a la obligación de los docentes de enseñar valores y de proveer de herramientas para la resolución de conflictos y la convivencia en paz, finalmente, su principal responsabilidad como personal docente y como costarricense. Se pretende, además, proveer ejemplos de actividades prácticas que se pueden desarrollar en las aulas para la enseñanza de una convivencia pacífica, de resolución de conflictos y de autocontrol. El conocimiento y aplicación de las leyes les permitirá, a quienes trabajan en educación, vivir conforme a la normativa y no acarrear responsabilidades sobre su persona.

Nasal Rinsing with an Atomized Spray Improves Mucociliary Clearance and Clinical Symptoms during Peak Grass Pollen Season
Authors: Di Berardino Federica , Zanetti Diego , D'Amato Gennaro 
Published: February 2017

Background Nasal rinsing with an atomizer spray was found to be effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Two parameters express the nasal functions: (1) mucociliary clearance (MCC), and (2) the pH and its stability. MCC is the main factor that defines the time of pollen transition on the nasal mucosa and, therefore, the amount of the allergen glycoprotein elution. Objective We hypothesized that the nasal wash efficacy could be due to the reduction of contact time of the grass pollen on the nasal mucosa (improving MCC). Methods Forty patients with seasonal grass pollen oculorhinitis were randomized in two groups: 20 received three times daily nasal rinsing with hypertonic solution buffered to pH 6.1, before and during the peak pollen season in 2015 (active group), and another 20 patients were allocated to the control group and received no nasal treatment. The daily symptoms score and the use of oral antihistamines when required were evaluated during the grass pollen peak season. All the patients completed the study. Results In comparison with the control group, in the active group, a significant decrease of both nasal symptoms (p = 0.01) and consumption of antihistamines (p = 0.035) was found. Furthermore, the MCC was significantly worse (p = 0.011) only in the control group. Conclusion The nasal treatment maintained the efficiency of the MCC in the patients in the active group, who showed a significant reduction of symptoms and medication score. The MCC decreased the transit time of the pollen on the nasal mucosa, which favored an elution of the allergenic proteins.

Published: February 2017

Background Allergic rhinitis (AR) has become a global health problem that constantly affects a large part of the general population, especially children. Objective Sublingual allergen immunotherapy (SLIT) has been used extensively for pediatric AR, although its efficacy and safety are often questioned. In this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT), we evaluated the use of SLIT for pediatric AR. Methods A number of medical literature data bases were searched through January 2016 to identify RCTs that examined the use of SLIT for pediatric AR and that assessed clinical outcomes related to efficacy. Descriptive and quantitative information was abstracted. Standardized mean differences (SMD) were calculated by using fixed- and random-effects models. Subgroup analyses were performed. Heterogeneity was assessed by using the I2 metric. A network meta-analysis was used to estimate SMDs between two SLIT protocols for pediatric seasonal AR. All data were extracted from publications or received from the authors. Results Twenty-six studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis of rhinitis or rhinoconjunctivitis symptom scores, and 19 studies were eligible for the meta-analysis of medication scores. Descriptive and quantitative data were extracted. SLIT differed significantly from placebo in terms of symptom scores (SMD -0.55 [95% confidence interval {CI}, -0.86 to -0.25]; p = 0.0003, I2 = 90%) and medication scores (SMD -0.67 [95% CI, -0.96 to -0.38J; p < 0.00001, I2 = 83%). Oral pruritus was the adverse effect, which occurred most commonly in children who were receiving SLIT. Network meta-analysis revealed no significant difference between the pre-coseasonal and continuous SLIT protocols for seasonal AR in symptom scores (SMD -6.55 [95% CI, -25.38 to 12.29]; p = 0.496) and medication scores (SMD -8.83 [95% CI, -22.10 to 4.43]; p = 0.192). Conclusions Our meta-analysis results indicated that SLIT provided significant symptom relief and reduced the need for medication in pediatric patients Moreover, the safety of SLIT needs to be confirmed in RCTs with larger samples.
