(primeiro parágrafo do texto)Uma das maneiras corretas de proceder-se à análise do pensamento econômico é considerar três de suas manifestações fundamentais, ou sejam: 1- o ensino da economia; 2- a produção intelectual que especificamente versa a economia e 3- a evolução da política econômica. A abrangência desse universo permite compreender a teoria e a doutrina, sua análise, bem como sua transmissão e prática.

Educação feminina e educação masculina no Brasil colonial
Authors: Silva Maria Beatriz Nizza da 
Published: January 2018

(primeiro parágrafo do texto)Dois livros recentes publicados em França revelam tendências novas na área da história da educação. Ambos são trabalhos coletivos, o que mostra bem como determinados tipos de pesquisa histórica exigem uma estreita colaboração entre os pesquisadores, e ambos se preocupam com a exploração de novas fontes. Uma delas é constituída por catálogos de alunos, documentação muito rara, mesmo em França, onde sempre houve a preocupação de preservar os documentos, ao contrário da atitude comum no Brasil. A idéia básica que norteia estes estudos é a de que importa sair da simples análise das teorias educacionais formuladas no passado para o estudo dos comportamentos. Aceitando em princípio esta idéia norteadora da pesquisa, vejamos se ela tem alguma viabilidade de ser posta em prática numa história da educação do Brasil colonial. Interessada em fazer um estudo comparativo da educação masculina e da educação feminina, é óbvio que gostaria em primeiro lugar de possuir dados numéricos sobre os efetivos escolares dos dois sexos, tanto mais que se sabe que as instituições coloniais, à semelhança dos colégios franceses, possuíam os seus livros de matrícula dos estudantes.

Long‐Term Risk of Myocardial Infarction Compared to Recurrent Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack and Ischemic Stroke: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Authors: Boulanger Marion , Béjot Yannick , Rothwell Peter M. , Touzé Emmanuel 
Published: January 2018

Background

Uncertainties remain about the current risk of myocardial infarction (
MI
) after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.

Methods and Results

We undertook a systematic review to estimate the long‐term risk of
MI
, compared to recurrent stroke, with temporal trends in ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack patients. Annual risks and 95% confidence intervals (95%
CI
) of
MI
and recurrent stroke were estimated using random‐effect meta‐analyses. We calculated incidence ratios of
MI
/recurrent stroke, for fatal and nonfatal events, using similar analyses. Rate ratios for
MI
in patients with potential risk factors compared to those without were calculated using Poisson regression.

A total of 58 studies (131 299 patients) with a mean (range) follow‐up of 3.5 (1.0‐10.0) years were included. The risk of
MI
was 1.67%/y (95%
CI
1.36‐1.98,
P
het
<0.001 for heterogeneity) and decreased over time (
P
int
=0.021); 96% of the heterogeneity between studies was explained by study design, study period, follow‐up duration, mean age, proportion of patients on antithrombotic therapy, and incident versus combined ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack. The risk of recurrent stroke was 4.26%/y (95%
CI
3.43‐5.09,
P
het
<0.001), with no change over time (
P
int
=0.63). The risk of fatal
MI
was half the risk of recurrent strokes ending in fatality (incidence ratio=0.51, 95%
CI
0.14‐0.89,
P
het
=0.58). The risk of nonfatal
MI
was 75% smaller than the risk of recurrent nonfatal stroke (incidence ratio=0.25, 95%
CI
0.02‐0.50,
P
het
=0.68). Male sex, hypertension, coronary and peripheral artery diseases were associated with a doubled risk of
MI
.

Conclusions

After ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack, the risk of
MI
is currently <2%/y, and recurrent stroke is a more common cause of death than
MI
.
Experimental investigation of the novel BIPV/T system employing micro-channel flat-plate heat pipes
Authors: Wang Zhangyuan , Huang Zicong , Chen Fucheng , Zhao Xudong , Guo Peng 
Published: January 2018

In this paper, the micro-channel flat-plate heat pipes-based BIPV/T system has been proposed, which is expected to have the characteristics, e.g. reduced contact thermal resistance, enhanced heat transfer area, improved heat transfer efficiency and building integration. The proposed system was constructed at the laboratory of Guangdong University of Technology (China) to study its performance. The temperatures of the glass cover, PV panel, micro-channel flat-plate heat pipes, and tank water were measured, as well as the ambient temperature. The thermal and electrical efficiency was also calculated for the system operated under the conditions with different simulated radiations and water flow rates. It was found that the proposed system can achieve the maximum average overall efficiency of 50.4% (thermal efficiency of 45.9% and electrical efficiency of 4.5%) for the simulated radiation of 300 W/m2 and water flow rate of 600 L/h. By comparing the proposed system with the two previous systems employing the conventional heat pipes, the thermal efficiency of the proposed system was clearly improved. The research will develop an innovative BIPV/T technology possessing high thermal conduction capability and high thermal efficiency compared with the conventional BIPV/T system, and helps realise the global targets of reducing carbon emission and saving primary energy in buildings. Practical application: This novel BIPV/T employing micro-channel flat-plate heat pipes will be potentially used in buildings to provide amount of electricity and thermal energy. The generated electricity will be used by the residents for electrical devices, and the thermal energy can be used for hot water, even for space heating and cooling.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review the literature for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) to ensure the National Standards for DSMES (Standards) align with current evidence-based practices and utilization trends. Methods The 10 Standards were divided among 20 interdisciplinary workgroup members. Members searched the current research for diabetes education and support, behavioral health, clinical, health care environment, technical, reimbursement, and business practice for the strongest evidence that guided the Standards revision. Results Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support facilitates the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis. The evidence indicates that health care providers and people affected by diabetes are embracing technology, and this is having a positive impact of DSMES access, utilization, and outcomes. Conclusion Quality DSMES continues to be a critical element of care for all people with diabetes. The DSMES services must be individualized and guided by the concerns, preferences, and needs of the person affected by diabetes. Even with the abundance of evidence supporting the benefits of DSMES, it continues to be underutilized, but as with other health care services, technology is changing the way DSMES is delivered and utilized with positive outcomes.

Published: January 2018

Background: Despite increased attention for palliative care in dementia, recent studies found burdensome symptoms and unmet family caregiver needs in the last phase of life. Feedback is being used to improve the quality of palliative care, but we do not know how effective it is. Aim: To assess the effect of two feedback strategies on perceived quality of end-of-life care and comfort in dying nursing home residents with dementia. Methods: In a cluster-randomized controlled trial, the End-of-Life in Dementia–Satisfaction With Care and the End-of-Life in Dementia–Comfort Assessment in Dying scales were completed by bereaved family caregivers of residents with dementia of 18 Dutch nursing homes. Two feedback strategies, generic feedback with mean End-of-Life in Dementia-scores and feedback with individual (patient-specific) End-of-Life in Dementia-scores, were compared to no feedback provided. The intervention groups discussed End-of-Life in Dementia-ratings in team meetings and formulated actions to improve care. Multi-level analyses assessed effects. Results: A total of 668 families rated the End-of-Life in Dementia–instruments. Compared to no feedback, the generic strategy resulted in lower quality of end-of-life care in unadjusted ( B = −1.65, confidence interval = −3.27; −0.21) and adjusted analyses ( B = −2.41, confidence interval = −4.07; −0.76), while there was no effect on comfort. The patient-specific strategy did not affect the quality of end-of-life care, but it increased comfort in unadjusted analyses (only, B = 2.20, confidence interval = 0.15; 4.39; adjusted: B = 1.88, confidence interval = −0.34; 4.10). Conclusion: Neither feedback strategy improved end-of-life outcome. Perhaps, skills to translate the feedback into care improvement actions were insufficient. Feedback with favorable family ratings might even have triggered opposite effects. Trial number: NTR3942.

Introduction: Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) include agitation and aggression in people with dementia. BPSD is common on inpatient psychogeriatric units and may prevent individuals from living at home or in residential/nursing home settings. Several drugs and non-pharmacological treatments have been shown to be effective in reducing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Algorithmic treatment may address the challenge of synthesizing this evidence-based knowledge. Methods: A multidisciplinary team created evidence-based algorithms for the treatment of behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. We present drug treatment algorithms for agitation and aggression associated with Alzheimer’s and mixed Alzheimer’s/vascular dementia. Drugs were appraised by psychiatrists based on strength of evidence of efficacy, time to onset of clinical effect, tolerability, ease of use, and efficacy for indications other than behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. Results: After baseline assessment and discontinuation of potentially exacerbating medications, sequential trials are recommended with risperidone, aripiprazole or quetiapine, carbamazepine, citalopram, gabapentin, and prazosin. Titration schedules are proposed, with adjustments for frailty. Additional guidance is given on use of electroconvulsive therapy, optimization of existing cholinesterase inhibitors/memantine, and use of pro re nata medications. Conclusion: This algorithm-based approach for drug treatment of agitation/aggression in Alzheimer’s/mixed dementia has been implemented in several Canadian Hospital Inpatient Units. Impact should be assessed in future research.

Objectives To evaluate home blood pressure (HBP) measurements during pregnancy and postpartum and investigate differences between singleton and twin pregnancies. Methods This prospective study involved normotensive, pregnant women who were planning to give birth at Saitama Medical Centre, Saitama, Japan between September 2013 and March 2017. HBP and pulse rate were measured twice daily and clinical blood pressure values were determined from patient records. Results HBP values were available from 101 participants; 69 women with singleton and 32 women with twin pregnancies. Systolic BP was statistically significantly higher in twin pregnancies from 23 weeks of gestation until 8 weeks after delivery compared with singleton pregnancies. Pulse rate was also statistically significantly higher between 11 and 30 weeks gestation in women with twin pregnancies compared with those with singleton pregnancies. Conclusions BP monitoring is important in the management of twin pregnancies, especially during the later gestational weeks and postpartum period and HBP would facilitate this monitoring.

Published: January 2018

Objective This study was performed to evaluate the visibility of the knee’s anterolateral ligament (ALL) by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging when evaluating injuries of the ALL in relation to injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Methods Two reviewers retrospectively analyzed MR images for the visibility and dimensions of the ALL and the relationship between ALL and ACL injuries. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and kappa analysis were used to assess interobserver reliability. The chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between ALL and ACL injuries. Results The entire ALL was viewed on 82% of all MR images. The ICC for ALL visualization ranged from moderate to perfect between the two readers. There was almost perfect agreement between the reviewers when evaluating ALL dimensions. The mean length ± standard error, median thickness, and mean width ± standard error of the ALL were 36.5 ± 0.6 mm, 2.5 mm, and 8.2 ± 0.2 mm, respectively. A statistically significant relationship was observed between ALL and ACL injuries. Conclusion The ALL was visible on most MR images, allowing ALL injuries to be noted during routine MR image interpretation. Radiologists should note concomitant ACL and ALL injuries as part of their assessments.

Recently a bio-artificial liver (BAL) system has been developed at the Academic Medical Center (AMC) of Amsterdam to bridge patients with acute liver failure (ALF) to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). After successful testing of the AMC-BAL in rodents and pigs with ALF, a phase I study in ALF patients waiting for (OLT) was started in Italy. We present the safety outcome of the first 7 patients aged 21–56 years with coma grade III or IV. The total AMC-BAL treatment time ranged from 8 to 35 hours. Three patients received 2 treatments with two different BAL's within three days. Six of the 7 patients were successfully bridged to OLT. One patient showed improved liver function after two treatments and did not need OLT. No severe adverse events of the BAL treatment were noted. Conclusion Treatment of ALF patients with the AMC-BAL is a safe and feasible technique to bridge the waiting time for an adequate liver-graft.

Introduction: Alveolar bone resorption and atrophy of the mandible are a major challenge for regeneration medicine. In the present investigation, a collagen sponge that contained TGF-ß1 was placed at a mandibular defect and the osteogenic effects of collagen-TGF-ß1 complex were evaluated. Material and Methods: The Pm2, Pm3, and Pm4 teeth on both sides of the mandibles of 12 adult beagle dogs (9.0–12.0 kg) were extracted. After the extraction-site wounds healed, a bone defect (10.0 × 15.0 mm-wide, 10.0mm-deep or 10.0 × 10.0mm-wide,10.0mm-deep) was created on the mandible. A collagen sponge (10.0 × 10.0 × 10.0 mm) that contained TGF-ß1 (1.0 μg, 5.0 μg, or 10.0 μg, in physiological saline) was placed at the bottom of the defect and the overlying mucous membrane was sutured with 4–0 prolene. As a control, a collagen sponge that contained physiological saline only was placed in a defect on the opposite side. Two weeks after the surgery the wounds above the bone defects on both the control and TGF-ß1-treated sides had healed completely. Results: At four, six, or eight weeks post-operatively animals were killed. Soft X-ray and bone-salt measurement analyses confirmed clearly that there was greater calcified bone formation in the defects into which TGF-ß1 had been incorporated than with the control defects. The implanted collagen sponges were fully resorbed and the bone tissue had regenerated from the bottom of the defects on the TGF-ß1 side by four weeks. On the control side, no such regeneration was observed. Conclusions: These results indicate that TGF-ß1 released slowly from a collagen sponge was effective in promoting bone remodeling when applied to mandibular defects in adult dogs.

The former common knowledge that cartilage lesions do not heal has been modified over the last few years due to new technologies. For repair of deeper circumscribed lesions osteochondral press-fit grafting and tissue engineering are used in clinical application. The histological data of the hyaline-like tissue obtained by engineering are just as satisfactory as the surviving grafted hyaline cartilage on top of osteochondral cylinders. But comparative studies are still lacking. To fill the gap and with a view to repairing larger osteoarthritic defects we have performed an in vivo study on 16 goats. Three months after the creation of a full thickness wide cartilage defect on the femoral condyle with harvesting of cartilage samples for tissue cultures we performed secondary cartilage repair procedures on the installed osteoarthritis areas: 1) grafting with autogenic osteochondral press-fit cylinders from the opposite knee, 2) autologous engineered chondrocyte grafting under periosteal flaps, 3) both in combination. The harvesting defects were either left as controls or filled with a hyaluronate fleece. After eight months the repaired areas and the harvesting defects were examined for cartilage stiffness as a novel comparative parameter. Compared to normal the cartilage on top of osteochondral grafts is considerably stiffer. Engineered cartilage is weaker than normal. Spontaneously ingrown fibrous cartilage is much weaker even with a carrier fleece. A combination of osteochondral press-fit grafts with engineered autologous cells restores biomechanical qualities to repaired larger degenerative cartilage defects.
