Authors: Selhorst Lucas Alves , De Carvalho Rita de Cássia Medeiros 
Published: August 2017

There are many differences in the discussions about the study of English in public schools. Listening to the students can be a good and democratic way of reaching consensus on methods, efficiency, focus on lessons and what results are expected. Thus, the general objective of this article is to study the role of learning English from the point of view of the students of a public school. Therefore, in this research, we present the opinions of the students collected through questionnaires applied with fifty students from eighth and ninth grades from a public school in Tubarão-SC. It is clear the importance the majority of these students give to the English language as a useful area of study for their lives, realizing that the school needs some adjustments and recognizing the need to study English out of school, in the future or concomitantly.

Abstract: Introduction: Congenital stridor and dyspnoe are caused by laryngomalacia in most cases. Aim: In this article we present a new, surgical method for treating severe laryngomalacia in patients under the age of 1, where ultrapulsated (UDP) laser beam is used for supraglottoplasty. Ultra dream pulse laser creates lesser thermical side damage in the tissue, therefore the risk of postoperative laryngeal oedema and scarring is lower. Method: We present 10 cases and the endoscopic UDP-laser surgery of patients under the age of 1 with severe laryngomalacia. Results: After the surgery the stridorous symptoms disappeared, and there was no evidence of postoperative laryngeal oedema, there was no need for reoperation or tracheotomy in any of the cases. Conclusion: UDP-laser surgery of laryngomalacia is proven to be a safe and effective surgial modality. During the follow up visits we experienced neither recurrence of stridor nor laryngeal scarring.

Comentarios al libro "Assim caminhou a humanidade"
Authors: Carnese Francisco Raúl 
Published: August 2017

Comenzando por las clásicas preguntas “Quiénes somos”, “De dónde venimos” y “Hacia dónde vamos”, los autores presentan un extenso estado de la cuestión en el campo de la evolución humana, área que no deja de producir cambios, no solo por los hallazgos sino por las nuevas interpretaciones. La obra es de gran valor comunicativo por su forma y su contenido.
El libro está muy bien escrito y los temas son tratados con profundidad sin abusar de tecnicismos, lo que lo hace comprensible para estudiantes de antropología, arqueología y biología y de todos aquellos interesados en la evolución humana. Considerando que estos estudios progresan muy rápidamente y que en pocos meses pueden tornarse obsoletas algunas informaciones o hipótesis previamente sostenidas, los autores incorporaron resúmenes de artículos recientemente publicados en revistas prestigiosas, con novedades que pueden prever, en un futuro inmediato, cambios significativos en estos estudios. Para finalizar, cabe mencionar que en la parte introductoria del texto los organizadores plantearon que uno de sus objetivos era cubrir la falencia de obras actualizadas, escritas en portugués, sobre evolución humana. El propósito fue alcanzado y el libro reúne además condiciones para ser recomendado a personas de habla española.

Aim. Determination of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content and cell distribution in mytotic cycle phases in the groups of patients with primary soft tissue sarcomas.
Methods. Study material was the tumours of patients with primary soft tissue sarcomas. Study methods included histological, DNA cytometric and statistical methods.
Results. Differences in proliferative activity and proliferation index in primary sarcomas depending on the tumor differentiation grade and disease stage were revealed. Differences in the numbers of diploid, aneuploid and polyploid cells depending on the cell cycle phases were determined in each group and between groups. Depending on the differentiation grade of soft tissue sarcoma, parameters of the cell cycle in soft tissue sarcomas were as follows: well-differentiated tumors (G1) were diploid in 100% of cases, and moderately differentiated tumors (G2) were aneuploid in 50% of cases. Poorly differentiated tumors (G3) were characterized by significantly higher content of aneuploid cells, in comparison with G2 tumors (33.1±5.2 and 16.5±6.8, respectively). Analysis of kinetic parameters of cell cycle demonstrated decreased proportion of cells in G1/G0 cell cycle phase from G1 to G3, accompanied by a statistically significant increase of the proportion of cells in S phase (p ˂0.05).
Conclusion. DNA cytometric study of cell cycle parameters demonstrated high biological potential of primary soft tissue sarcomas; high malignant potential can probably be determined by two parameters: proportion of the cells in G2+М phase and cell loss factor.

Authors: Verezgova S V , Troik E B 
Published: August 2017

Aim. Evaluation of the results of venography and efficacy of gonadal veins embolization in female patients with pelvic congestive syndrome and concomittant genital pathology.
Methods. The study included 61 patients with pelvic varicosities diagnosed on the basis of ultrasound and Doppler studies of the veins with obligatory use of Valsalva test. The average age of the patients was 34.11±0.98 years. Patients were divided into groups according to the presence or absence of concomitant genital pathology: group A - 16 patients with pelvic varicose veins without concomitant genital pathology; group B - 20 patients with pelvic varicose veins and endometriosis; group C - 25 patients with pelvic varicose veins and other genital pathology. All patients underwent selective pelvic vein embolization by the combined method with the use of coils and sclerosants. The variants of anatomical structure of venous system in patients from three groups were clarified according to the results of venography. Efficacy of the method was assessed by the change in pelvic pain intensity according to Visual Analogue Scale before and after embolization.
Results. Bilateral pelvic varicose veins in all groups was the most prevalent variant diagnosed in venography. In groups A and C 87.5 and 84% of patients, respectively, noted improvement. In group B 35% of patients reported improvement, while 65% maintained pain after embolization. However, even while maintaining pain, decrease of its intensity was reported by 35% of patients, but in 6 (30%) of cases it required surgical organ-resecting treatment.
Conclusion. Venograghy in pelvic congestive syndrome in women is characterized by stagnation of venous blood in the venous system of pelvis with the reflux and valvular incompetence; endovascular method confirmed its high efficiency for relieving pelvic pain syndrome; we had no complications during the study.

Authors: Tikhonov V E , Mitin N E , Grishin M I 
Published: August 2017

Aim. Study of the prevalence of dentofacial anomalies among school children of grades 1 to 11 of one of the districts of Ryazan Oblast.
Methods. We conducted an examination of 663 school children aged 7 to 16 years in one of the districts of Ryazan Oblast. The obtained data were recorded in the form of the oral cavity examination of the Central scientific research institute of dental and maxillofacial surgery.
Results. As a result of examination it turned out that prevalence of teeth and occlusion anomalies in school children ranges from 61 to 89%, and in most age groups it is at a fairly stable level of 80%, which is very high. An alarming fact is that at the age of 7 to 10 years combined teeth and occlusion anomalies were detected in the range from 88.6±3.79% to 82.9±4.16%; it indicates that only every fifth child has a healthy dentofacial system. At the age of 11 this indicator is much lower, while among school children aged more than 16 years it is at the level of 75.6±6.7%.
Conclusion. High prevalence of dentofacial system anomalies was revealed among children of school age in one of the districts of Ryazan Oblast; sufficiency of qualified personnel would provide timely diagnosis of early forms of anomalies, correct disorders and ensure normal development of the child’s dentoalveolar-facial system.

Implementing a Student-Centered Pedagogy: Doing so in the Indonesian Teaching-Learning Context
Authors: Triyoko Hanung 
Published: August 2017

Today’s educators must be willing to shift from the teacher-centered paradigm, which was in place when they themselves were students, to the new paradigm of student-centered education. This article was inspired by the challenges and opportunities experienced by the writers while attempting to implement a student-centered pedagogy. We will share some of our experiences as educators to provide a context for various aspects of student centered-learning. Understanding some of the successes and failures we have experienced in our careers may help to highlight the potential and importance of student-centered pedagogy in its many facets. Based on the vignettes from our teaching experiences, we have identified four major ideas about how to adopt a more student-centered approach: planning lessons that encourage student interest; adapting the curriculum to meet student’s needs; using technology in the classroom; and developing mutually respectful relationships.
