Epistaxis: A comparison of treatment
Authors: Shaw Collie B. , Wax Mark K. , Wetmore Stephen J. 
Published: January 2017

Epistaxis is a common condition as well as a frequent otolaryngologic emergency, with up to 60% of people experiencing one episode in their lifetime and 6% seeking medical attention. Treatment is controversial, with many options being available. We retrospectively reviewed the hospital course and management of 65 patients who experienced epistaxis from January 1, 1986, to October 31, 1991, to compare medical and surgical treatment methods. Fifty‐one patients were managed medically. Of these, 36 patients required one treatment (group 1), 10 required multiple treatments (group 2), and seven required multiple admissions (group 3). The mean lengths of hospitalization were 3.27, 4.90, and 5.57 days respectively. Fourteen patients were managed surgically. The preoperative stay of nine patients who underwent unsuccessful medical management at our institution (group 4) was 3.9 days, with an average postoperative stay of 7.3 days. The difference in length of stay was statistically significant between surgical and medical groups and the postoperative stay of group 4 was different from the length of stay of group 1 patients. The remaining five patients were initially treated elsewhere (group 5). Seventeen (33.3%) medical and only 1 (7%) surgical patients underwent unsuccessful initial therapy. Complication rates were not statistically different for each group. Transfusion requirements were evaluated as a possible predictive factor. Eighteen patients (35.3%) in the medically managed group required transfusions, compared with 11 patients (78.6%) treated surgically (p< 0.01). The medical group received an average of 0.91 units, compared to the surgical group that received 2.93 units preoperatively (p< 0.01). Group 4 required the most preoperative transfusions (3.89). Hypertension, NSAID usage, and coumadin usage did not significantly increase the length of hospital stay in either surgically or medically treated patients. The majority of patients respond to simple nonsurgical measures. Patients who require multiple interventions over a 72‐hour period to control hemorrhage and require three or more units of red blood cells should be considered for surgical intervention.
A Pluriparcialidade como novo elemento da mediação: repensando a atuação do mediador a partir das noções de neutralidade, imparcialidade e equidistância
Authors: Sena Orsini Adriana Goulart de , Silva Nathane Fernandes da 
Published: January 2017

Este artigo objetiva problematizar as noções de neutralidade, imparcialidade e equidistância, utilizadas como elementos que orientam a atuação do terceiro que intervém na abordagem dos conflitos, destacando-se o mediador. O estudo pretende discutir a pertinência dessas noções no que tange à atuação do mediador, terceiro aceitável que auxilia os envolvidos a redimensionarem sua situação conflituosa no processo de mediação. Tendo em vista que a metodologia da mediação pretende auxiliar os mediados em seus processos de empoderamento e emancipação, entende-se que é preciso repensar a noção de isenção em relação ao atuar do mediador, a partir da construção de um elemento novo, a pluriparcialidade. A hipótese aqui defendida é de que a pluriparcialidade se traduz como elemento capaz de abarcar uma ação do mediador voltada para a promoção de um efetivo equilíbrio entre as partes, de modo a fomentar um espaço isonômico e amplamente participativo na mediação, que de fato contribua para o empoderamento e para a emancipação dos mediados.
A Internação psiquiátrica compulsória do psicopata em sede da ação de interdição:um estudo interdisciplinar entre a psiquiatria, a psicologia e o direito processual
Authors: Macedo Elaine Harzheim , Monteiro Fábio De Holanda 
Published: January 2017

O presente estudo tem como objetivo tecer algumas considerações acerca da ação de interdição e da internação psiquiátrica compulsória do psicopata. Tal estudo, de caráter interdisciplinar, mostra-se relevante não somente para os profissionais do Direito como um todo, mas também para outras áreas do conhecimento humano, como a Medicina e a Psicologia. Conquanto não se encontre prevista expressamente no ordenamento jurídico, a possibilidade do internamento por decisão judicial em sede de ação de interdição, em casos de psicopatia, deve ter seu cabimento verificado por meio de uma interpretação sistemática, de acordo com as peculiaridades de cada caso, tendo como norte o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana.

Genomic aberrations and gene expression-defined subtypes in the large METABRIC patient cohort have been used to stratify and predict survival. The present study used normalized gene expression signatures of paclitaxel drug response to predict outcome for different survival times in METABRIC patients receiving hormone (HT) and, in some cases, chemotherapy (CT) agents. This machine learning method, which distinguishes sensitivity vs. resistance in breast cancer cell lines and validates predictions in patients; was also used to derive gene signatures of other HT (tamoxifen) and CT agents (methotrexate, epirubicin, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil) used in METABRIC. Paclitaxel gene signatures exhibited the best performance, however the other agents also predicted survival with acceptable accuracies. A support vector machine (SVM) model of paclitaxel response containing genes ABCB1, ABCB11, ABCC1, ABCC10, BAD, BBC3, BCL2, BCL2L1, BMF, CYP2C8, CYP3A4, MAP2, MAP4, MAPT, NR1I2, SLCO1B3, TUBB1, TUBB4A, and TUBB4B was 78.6% accurate in predicting survival of 84 patients treated with both HT and CT (median survival ≥ 4.4 yr). Accuracy was lower (73.4%) in 304 untreated patients. The performance of other machine learning approaches was also evaluated at different survival thresholds. Minimum redundancy maximum relevance feature selection of a paclitaxel-based SVM classifier based on expression of genes BCL2L1, BBC3, FGF2, FN1, and TWIST1 was 81.1% accurate in 53 CT patients. In addition, a random forest (RF) classifier using a gene signature (ABCB1, ABCB11, ABCC1, ABCC10, BAD, BBC3, BCL2, BCL2L1, BMF, CYP2C8, CYP3A4, MAP2, MAP4, MAPT, NR1I2,SLCO1B3, TUBB1, TUBB4A, and TUBB4B) predicted >3-year survival with 85.5% accuracy in 420 HT patients. A similar RF gene signature showed 82.7% accuracy in 504 patients treated with CT and/or HT. These results suggest that tumor gene expression signatures refined by machine learning techniques can be useful for predicting survival after drug therapies.

Published: January 2017

Objective of research: to study the regional epizootology, species composition and bioecological features of development of causative agents of cattle hypodermatosis and elaboration of struggle measures against it in the Chechen Republic.
Materials and methods: Data on extensity and intensity of invasion, species composition of causative agents of cattle hypodermatosis, seasonal dynamics, larval approach to the surface of animal back (gadfly larvae deposited in animals’ skin), time of the larval-pupal transformation (stages of larval development), treatment and prevention measures are provided in this article.
Results and discussion: This research has found that in the Chechen Republic the extensity of gadfly invasion was in the range 24,4% — 62,1%; the intensity of invasion was 9,8 — 24,0 larv./animal. Two gadfly species Hypoderma bovis De Geer and Hypoderma lineatum De Villers are causative agents of animal hypodermatosis.
H. bovis is spread everywhere, H. lineatum — mainly in plain and piedmont of the republic. Gadfly flight in different natural-climatic zones of the republic is registered from the end of April until the middle of October.
Treatment and prevention measures continuously conducted for the whole livestock ( in spring against larvae of the 1st stage and in autumn — against larvae of the 2nd and 3rd development stages), taking into account ecological, phenological and epizootological situation in the region, may contribute to the full elimination of causative agents of hypodermatosis or their significant minimizing, reduction of economic damage to livestock of the republic.
Based on experimental data, the economically reasonable schedule of treatment and prevention measures has been created.
Veterinary problems of reindeer husbandry in the European North of Russia

Published: January 2017

Objective of research. As deer are kept year-round on pasture (in summer in tundra in the northern coast of the Russian arctic; in winter — in forest-tundra and northern taiga), biogeocenosis and natural focality of most parasitic and infectious diseases were formed over the years. That should be considered when developing methods for combating them, and to determine the optimal timing of mass treatment and prevention measures.
Materials and methods. The question naturally arises, which living and nonliving components ensure pathogen survivability, contribute to the emergence and spread of infectious and invasive diseases. Each disease is characterized by specific factors requiring careful examination and generalization based on the study of clinical records and epizootic diseases in reindeer of the European North of Russia.
Results and discussion. Dominant diseases of reindeer in the European region of Northern Russia, requiring greater attention of veterinary experts and against which it is necessary to conduct a regular complex of veterinary, prevention and treatment measures are: anthrax, edemagenosis, cephenomiosis, necrobacillosis, echinococcosis, cysticercosis, rabies, leptospirosis, number of helminthoses (strongylatosis, monieziasis, cysticercosis, etc.). This is a brucellosis-free region, and for many tens years no outbreaks of FMD were reported. The vast majority of the tundra is located in the permafrost zone; the area is dotted with numerous canals, lakes, rivers, streams, marshes, between which in summer on shallow layered soil, grow bushes of willow, dwarf birch, berries, grass and lichen, the main food of deer.
The fauna of the tundra is rich and diverse. Here live wolves, foxes, bears, rodents (lemmings, mice), rabbits, birds (geese, ducks, partridges, gulls) and other animals. In summer, “clouds” of midges (mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, flies) are flying in the air. In the region, there are still places virtually untouched by man. However, in recent years, intensive industrial development of the region began to carry out exploration and extraction of oil, gas and other minerals. Oil and gas pipelines, roads, power lines are built which certainly cannot affect negatively the extremely vulnerable nature of the North.
For example, reindeer moss trampled or torn down by moving offroaders can be restored only after 7-10 years. Summer season in the North is a very short period, there are usually few warm and sunny days. These negative factors lead to reduced pastures and do not contribute to the growth of the deer population, their health status and fatness.

Sintered Structural Steels Containing Mn, Cr And Mo – The Summary of the Investigations
Authors: Sulowski Maciej 
Published: January 2017

AbstractThe paper is presented the development and method of production of modern, Ni-free sintered structural steels which contain carbide forming alloying elements (Cr) with high affinity for oxygen (Cr, Mn) and the much smaller additive of an expensive alloying element (Mo), enabling the production of structural sintered steels in commercial belt furnaces, using safe sintering atmospheres. The investigations reported deal with the analysis of microstructure and mechanical properties of these sintered structural steels produced in different processing conditions, especially modification of chemical composition of sintering atmosphere and also the connections between the microstructure of sintered material and its mechanical properties. This analysis was done to propose the appropriate chemical composition of sintered Ni-free steels with properties which are comparable or even better than those of sintered structural steels containing rich and carcinogenic nickel. The investigations of PM Mn- Cr-Mo steels were preceded by those on Mn steels.
Information About Dynamics of the Sea Surface as a Means to Improve Safety of the Unmanned Vessel at Sea
Authors: Przyborski Marek 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
One of the fundamental states of the sea surface is its heave. Despite of years of the intense scientific inquiry, no clear understanding of the influence of this aspect on the dynamics of the sea environment has emerged. The separation of two nearby fluid elements which one may observed for example as a free floating of small objects on the sea surface (rescuers on the rough sea or small research vessels) is caused by the interaction of different components. On the other hand one may say that the heave of the sea is also a summary interaction of a few components describing the dynamics of the sea. Therefore it is the most important aspect, which influenced the dispersion phenomenon. This observation has important consequences for many different problems as for example conducting Search and Rescue missions and using unmanned ships. We would like to present results of our experiment focused on finding the answer to question about nature of the heave of the sea and its influence on safety of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV).

Published: January 2017

Abstract
The paper presents the results of numerical simulations of ship propeller operation bearing the name of Propeller Open Water (POW) Tests. The object of tests was a sample ship propeller (PPTC1), the geometrical and kinematic data of which are available, along with the results of model tests, on the official page of the research centre involved in the measurements. The research aimed at verifying the correctness of results of numerical simulations performed in the model and real scale. The results of numerical analyses performed in the model scale were confronted with those measured in the experiment. Then, making use of dimensionless coefficients which characterise propeller’s operation, the recorded model data were extrapolated to real conditions and compared with corresponding results of simulations. Both the numerical simulations and the experimental research were performed for the same propeller load states. The reported research is in line with other activities which aim at developing advanced numerical methods to support the process of ship propeller designing.

Published: January 2017

Abstract
This paper discusses the numerical evaluation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of submerged and surface piercing moving bodies. Generally, two main classes of potential methods are used for hydrodynamic characteristic analysis of steady moving bodies which are Rankine and Kelvin-Havelock singularity distribution. In this paper, the Kelvin- Havelock sources are used for simulating the moving bodies and then free surface wave patterns are obtained. Numerical evaluation of potential distribution of a Kelvin-Havelock source is completely presented and discussed. Numerical results are calculated and presented for a 2D cylinder, single source, two parallel moving source, sphere, ellipsoid and standard Wigley hull in different situation that show acceptable agreement with results of other literatures or experiments.

Published: January 2017

AbstractThe paper presents results of the research project whose the main goal was to build a technology demonstrator of an electric supply system based on the PEM fuel cell. The electric supply system is dedicated to operation on a board of a submarine during emergency situations. The underwater conditions influence on a specific architecture of supply subsystems of the PEM fuel cell system. In this case the fuel cell stack is supplied by both clean hydrogen and clean oxygen stored in pressurized tanks. The hydrogen has to be delivered in a closed loop, while the oxygen can be delivered in a closed or an open loop. In the technology demonstrator, the supply of the fuel cell stack by the hydrogen in the closed loop and the oxygen in the open loop with a precise control of its flow were used.In the paper, a hardware and a software structures of the technology demonstrator are presented. Then, selected results of the PEM fuel cell system operation are included. The results of the research show precise control of the oxygen and a response of the system on rapid changes of an electric load responding to the loads working during an emergency situation on a board of a submarine. Mainly, results of the real fuel cell system operation are presented. The results of numerical research can be found in several publications of the authors included in the bibliography of the paper.
