L’ épochè et le problème du donné
Authors: Tardivel Émilie 
Published: September 2017

Le présent article montre comment la révision de la méthode husserlienne permet à Patočka de découvrir le primat épistémologique de la donation. De la fin des années 1940 au milieu des années 1970, le « problème du non-donné » se transforme en « problème du donné ». Ce passage ne s’opère pas dans une extension de la réduction au sujet transcendantal, mais dans un retour à la méthode que met en œuvre toute réduction : l’épochè.

Published: September 2017

Purpose: To establish the changes produced after implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) on retinal nerve fiber layer measurements performed with Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: This prospective study included 100 eyes of 50 patients with bilateral cataract in surgical range, no other associated ocular involvement, refractive errors between +5 and −5 spherical diopters, and less than 1.5 D of corneal astigmatism. The eyes were operated by phacoemulsification with implantation of 2 different trifocal IOLs (FineVision and AT LISA tri 839MP) in randomized equal groups. Cirrus OCT and Spectralis OCT were performed before surgery and 3 months later. Both analyzed the thickness of the nerve fiber layer and thickness divided by quadrants (6 in case of Spectralis and 4 in case of Cirrus HD). Results: The mean age of patients was 67.5 ± 5.8 years. The global nerve fiber layer thickness measured with Spectralis OCT was 96.77 μm before surgery and 99.55 μm after. With Cirrus OCT, the global thickness was 85.29 μm before surgery and 89.77 μm after. Statistically significant differences in global thickness measurements between preimplantation and postimplantation of the IOL were found with both OCT in the 2 groups. Statistically significant differences were also found in temporal and superior quadrants. Conclusions: The implantation of a diffractive trifocal IOL alters the results of the optic nerve fiber layer on Fourier-domain OCT in these patients, which should be taken into account in the posterior study of these patients.

Published: September 2017

Introduction: Maintaining accuracy of component placement is an important step in ensuring the long-term stability of components during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Computer-assisted navigation has improved accuracy but errors associated with the registration process are known to impact the accuracy of final measurements. The purpose of this cadaver study was to determine the registration error associated with a novel mini-navigation system. Methods: 3 board-certified orthopaedic surgeons performed 4 THA procedures each via the posterolateral approach on 6 cadavers (12 hips) using the mini-navigation tool. Pre- and post-operative radiographs and post-operative computed tomography (CT) images were obtained. Image analysis was performed by 2 radiologists not involved in the surgical procedures. During registration, surgeons aligned the alignment rod with the anterior pelvic plane (APP) to provide a reference plane for comparison with traditional navigation. Cup position from the device was compared with measurements gathered from post-op imaging. Results: The mean difference between CT and device measurements for inclination was -1.7° (standard deviation [SD] 4.9°), while the mean absolute difference was 4.2° (SD 3.2°). The mean difference between anteversion angles calculated from CT scans and from the device was -3.5° (SD 4.5°), with an absolute difference of 4.0° (SD 4.0°). 100% (12/12) of inclination measurements and 92% (11/12) of anteversion measurements fell within both the clinical and statistical limits of agreement when analyzed via the Bland-Altman technique. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the registration error associated with this new mini-navigation system compares favourably with the known registration error associated with traditional navigation systems.

Purpose: There are many risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury in liver transplantation. The aim of this study is to investigate the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplantation recipients. Methods: 220 living donor liver transplantation recipients were retrospectively evaluated in the study. According to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes Guidelines, acute kidney injury in postoperative day 7 was investigated for all patients. The patient’s demographic data, preoperative and intraoperative parameters, and outcomes were recorded. Results: Acute kidney injury was found in 27 (12.3%) recipients. In recipients with acute kidney injury, female population, model for end-stage liver disease score, norepinephrine requirement, duration of mean arterial pressure less than 60 mmHg, the usage of gelatin and erythrocyte suspension and blood loss were significantly higher than recipients with nonacute kidney injury (for all p<0.05). In multivariate analyses, the likelihood of acute kidney injury on postoperative day 7 were increased 2.8-fold (1.1-7.0), 2.7-fold (1.02-7.3), 3.4-fold (1.2-9.9) and 5.1-fold (1.7-15.0) by postoperative day 7, serum tacrolimus level ≥10.2 ng dL−1, intraoperative blood loss ≥14.5 mL kg−1, the usage of gelatin >5 mL kg−1 and duration of MAP less than 60 mmHg ≥5.5 minutes respectively (for all p<0.05). Conclusions: In living donor liver transplantation recipients, serum tacrolimus levels, intraoperative blood loss, hypotension period and the usage of gelatin may be risk factors for acute kidney injury in the early postoperative period.
Removal of bile acids by extracorporeal therapies: an in vitro study
Authors: Hartmann Jens , Harm Stephan 
Published: September 2017

Introduction: Bile acids (BAs) accumulating in the circulation in patients with liver failure are considered to be responsible for pruritus, which strongly impairs quality of life of the affected patients. The aim of this study was the in vitro characterization of different BAs regarding their removability with high-flux dialysis as well as with different adsorbents, and the evaluation of their binding to plasma proteins. Methods: Dialysis experiments were conducted in pediatric circuits with human plasma. For the adsorption studies, batch tests using 10% adsorbent in spiked human plasma were carried out. The binding of BAs to plasma compounds was determined by centrifugation of spiked plasma through spin columns. Sieving coefficients were determined using an albumin filter and a high-flux dialyzer. Results: With high-flux dialysis, only hydrophilic BAs such as glycocholic and taurocholic acid could be removed efficiently, while all tested BAs were removed by adsorption. Conclusions: In conclusion, the hydrophilicity of BAs plays a major role in their removability using extracorporeal approaches. Adsorption-based systems offer particular advantages for the removal of hydrophobic BAs.

Objectives The aim of this report was to study the specific characteristics of bladder cancer in patients younger than 30 years. Materials and Methods Five patients with a mean age of 24 ± 2.83 years were included in the study. All patients had painless macroscopic hematuria as the first symptom. Three patients had pTa as a first diagnosis, one had pT1 and one pT2. All the patients had smoking as a risk factor and at least one additional possible risk factor. Results One patient with pTa had an aggressive course and after multiple recurrences was diagnosed with pT2 and refused to be submitted to radical cystectomy and died from the disease even though he received a multimodality treatment. The other two patients with the pTa diagnosis had no recurrence after the first TUR-BT and the patient with the pT1 diagnosis after one recurrence with a pTa histology is free of recurrence for the last 2 years. The patient diagnosed with pT2 was submitted to a radical cystectomy and an s-pouch diversion with a preservation of the genital system in order to have the ability of a future motherhood with the acceptance of course risks. Conclusions Young patients with bladder cancer is a difficult group of patients and show more reluctance to comply to the necessary strict follow-up of the repeated urinary cytology examinations, cystoscopies and CT pyelographies. Herein, we report a retrospective study of five patients younger than 30 years with bladder cancer.

Modelo para análise da visão da sustentabilidade em pequenas e médias empresas industriais
Authors: Krüger Roseli Fistarol , Grzybovski Denize 
Published: September 2017

O objetivo deste artigo teórico-empírico foi apresentar o modelo mais adequado para identificar a visão de sustentabilidade dos gestores de PMEIs, comparando três modelos que
possuem grande consistência na sua construção. Os modelos predominantes, na literatura,
sobre sustentabilidade empresarial são os seguintes: Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE), da Bovespa, Grid de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (GSE), de Callado (2010),
e as Sete Dimensões da Sustentabilidade (7DS), de Elkington (2012). Trata-se de uma
pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, cuja estratégia utilizada foi o estudo de caso único. O
modelo GSE foi considerado de mais fácil entendimento, mas teve limitações relativas
ao processo de coleta de dados qualitativos. O modelo de Callado (2010), por sua vez, foi
adaptado para a pesquisa qualitativa e resultou em dados qualificados e coerentes com as
especificidades das PMEIs.

Published: September 2017

Este artigo tem como principal objetivo mensurar as perdas físicas e econômicas observadas na cadeia de suprimentos das moageiras de trigo do Rio Grande do Sul (RS). A partir
da aplicação de questionário com representativos agentes do setor, a cadeia logística do
trigo no RS foi caracterizada e as perdas do produto em cada etapa da cadeia foram quantificadas. Para os fluxos de transporte característicos de mercado interno, as perdas representam 11,41% da quantidade total de trigo em grão oriundos das fazendas. Destacam-se,
neste contexto, as perdas na colheita e na armazenagem junto às cooperativas (93,55% das
perdas totais). A monetização de perdas físicas decorrentes totaliza um valor de R$ 119,4
milhões. Baseado nos resultados obtidos, são sugeridas estratégias para mitigação das
perdas de trigo nos diferentes elos da cadeia logística.

AbstractIntroduction: In Malawi, HIV‐infected pregnant and breastfeeding women are offered lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART) regardless of CD4 count or clinical stage (Option B+). Their HIV‐exposed children are enrolled in the national prevention of mother‐to‐child transmission (PMTCT) programme, but many are lost to follow‐up. We estimated the cumulative incidence of vertical HIV transmission, taking loss to follow‐up into account.Methods: We abstracted data from HIV‐exposed children enrolled into care between September 2011 and June 2014 from patient records at 21 health facilities in central and southern Malawi. We used competing risk models to estimate the probability of loss to follow‐up, death, ART initiation and discharge, and used pooled logistic regression and inverse probability of censoring weighting to estimate the vertical HIV transmission risk.Results: A total of 11,285 children were included; 9285 (82%) were born to women who initiated ART during pregnancy. At age 30 months, an estimated 57.9% (95% CI 56.6–59.2) of children were lost to follow‐up, 0.8% (0.6–1.0) had died, 2.6% (2.3–3.0) initiated ART, 36.5% (35.2–37.9) were discharged HIV‐negative and 2.2% (1.5–2.8) continued follow‐up. We estimated that 5.3% (95% CI 4.7–5.9) of the children who enrolled were HIV‐infected by the age of 30 months, but only about half of these children (2.6%; 95% CI 2.3–2.9) were diagnosed.Conclusions: Confirmed mother‐to‐child transmission rates were low, but due to poor retention only about half of HIV‐infected children were diagnosed. Tracing of children lost to follow‐up and HIV testing in outpatient clinics should be scaled up to ensure that all HIV‐positive children have access to early ART.

AbstractA 1.2 km thick Paleogene volcaniclastic section at International Ocean Discovery Program Site 351‐U1438 preserves the deep‐marine, proximal record of Izu‐Bonin oceanic arc initiation, and volcano evolution along the Kyushu‐Palau Ridge (KPR). Pb/U ages and trace element compositions of zircons recovered from volcaniclastic sandstones preserve a remarkable temporal record of juvenile island arc evolution. Pb/U ages ranging from 43 to 27 Ma are compatible with provenance in one or more active arc edifices of the northern KPR. The abundances of selected trace elements with high concentrations provide insight into the genesis of U1438 detrital zircon host melts, and represent useful indicators of both short and long‐term variations in melt compositions in arc settings. The Site U1438 zircons span the compositional range between zircons from mid‐ocean ridge gabbros and zircons from relatively enriched continental arcs, as predicted for melts in a primitive oceanic arc setting derived from a highly depleted mantle source. Melt zircon saturation temperatures and Ti‐in‐zircon thermometry suggest a provenance in relatively cool and silicic melts that evolved toward more Th and U‐rich compositions with time. Th, U, and light rare earth element enrichments beginning about 35 Ma are consistent with detrital zircons recording development of regional arc asymmetry and selective trace element‐enriched rear arc silicic melts as the juvenile Izu‐Bonin arc evolved.
Ligand Versatility in Supercrystal Formation
Authors: Reichhelm Annett , Haubold Danny , Eychmüller Alexander 
Published: September 2017

AbstractSupercrystals (SCs) offer the opportunity to integrate nanoparticles into current technologies without losing their unique and designable properties. In the past two decades, much research has been conducted, allowing the synthesis of differently shaped nanoparticles of various materials. Employing those building units, several methods have been developed enabling the preparation of an increasing number of different superstructures. In this review, an overview is given of the large versatility of surfactant molecules used for SC preparation. While SCs with uncharged organic ligands are by far the largest group, the use of charged or uncommon ligands allows the preparation of unique SCs and superlattices. Additionally, the influence of the ligands on the self‐assembly and properties of the resulting SCs is highlighted.
