Background

Accurate risk prediction of coronary artery aneurysms (
CAAs
) in North American children with Kawasaki disease remains a clinical challenge. We sought to determine the predictive utility of baseline coronary dimensions adjusted for body surface area (
z
scores) for future
CAAs
in Kawasaki disease and explored the extent to which addition of established Japanese risk scores to baseline coronary artery
z
scores improved discrimination for
CAA
development.

Methods and Results

We explored the relationships of
CAA
with baseline
z
scores; with Kobayashi, Sano, Egami, and Harada risk scores; and with the combination of baseline
z
scores and risk scores. We defined
CAA
as a maximum
z
score (zMax) ≥2.5 of the left anterior descending or right coronary artery at 4 to 8 weeks of illness. Of 261 patients, 77 patients (29%) had a baseline zMax ≥2.0.
CAAs
occurred in 15 patients (6%).
CAAs
were strongly associated with baseline zMax ≥2.0 versus <2.0 (12 [16%] versus 3 [2%], respectively,
P
<0.001). Baseline zMax ≥2.0 had a C statistic of 0.77, good sensitivity (80%), and excellent negative predictive value (98%). None of the risk scores alone had adequate discrimination. When high‐risk status per the Japanese risk scores was added to models containing baseline zMax ≥2.0, none were significantly better than baseline zMax ≥2.0 alone.

Conclusions

In a North American center, baseline zMax ≥2.0 in children with Kawasaki disease demonstrated high predictive utility for later development of
CAA
. Future studies should validate the utility of our findings.

Published: June 2017

Background

Diagnosis of short
QT
syndrome (
SQTS
) remains difficult in case of borderline
QT
values as often found in normal populations. Whether some shortening of refractory periods (
RP
) may help in differentiating
SQTS
from normal subjects is unknown.

Methods and Results

Atrial and right ventricular
RP
at the apex and right ventricular outflow tract as determined during standard electrophysiological study were compared between 16
SQTS
patients (
QT
c 324±24 ms) and 15 controls with similar clinical characteristics (
QT
c 417±32 ms). Atrial
RP
were significantly shorter in
SQTS
compared with controls at 600‐ and 500‐ms basic cycle lengths. Baseline ventricular
RP
were significantly shorter in
SQTS
patients than in controls, both at the apex and right ventricular outflow tract and for any cycle length. Differences remained significant for
RP
of any subsequent extrastimulus at any cycle length and any pacing site. A cut‐off value of baseline
RP
<200 ms at the right ventricular outflow tract either at 600‐ or 500‐ms cycle length had a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 100% for the diagnosis of
SQTS
.

Conclusions

Patients with
SQTS
have shorter ventricular
RP
than controls, both at baseline during various cycle lengths and after premature extrastimuli. A cut‐off value of 200 ms at the right ventricular outflow tract during 600‐ and 500‐ms basic cycle length may help in detecting true
SQTS
from normal subjects with borderline
QT
values.
Impact of Tibetan Plateau Surface Heating on Persistent Extreme Precipitation Events in Southeastern China
Authors: Wan Bingcheng , Gao Zhiqiu , Chen Fei , Lu Chungu 
Published: June 2017

AbstractThis paper combines observations, climatic analysis, and numerical modeling to investigate the Tibetan Plateau’s (TP) surface heating conditions’ influence on extreme persistent precipitation events (PEPEs) in southeastern China. Observations indicated an increase of TP surface air temperature 3–4 days prior to extreme persistent precipitation events in southeastern China. NCEP reanalysis data revealed a significant low pressure anomaly in southern China and a high pressure anomaly in northern China during extreme persistent precipitation event periods. Using correlation analysis and random resampling nonparametric statistics, a typical PEPE event from 17 to 25 June 2010 was selected for numerical simulation. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model was used to investigate the impact of the TP’s surface heating on the evolution of this event. Three contrasting WRF experiments were conducted with different surface heating strengths by changing initial soil moisture over the TP. Different soil conditions generate different intensities of surface sensible heat fluxes and boundary layer structures over the TP resulting in two main effects on downstream convective rainfall: modulating large-scale atmospheric circulations and modifying the water vapor transport at southern China. Increased surface heating in the TP strengthens a high pressure system over the Yangtze Plain, thereby blocking the northward movement of precipitation. It also enhances the water vapor transport from the South China Sea to southern China. The combined effects substantially increase precipitation over most of the southeastern China region.
EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL BASES OF CALCULATIONS OF THE DEFORMATIONS OF DEEP FOUNDATIONS IN OVERCONSOLIDATED SOILS
Authors: Лузин Иван , Luzin Ivan , Тер-Мартиросян Завен , Ter-Martirosyan Zaven 
Published: June 2017

The paper presents the formulation and solution of the problem by quantifying precipitation of deep foundations (DF) considering the initial stress state of the soil base and state compaction, the history of its formation – taking into account nonlinear
properties of soil deformation. It is shown that the inclusion of these factors has a significant impact on the SSC base of deep foundations, including sediment DF, i.e. to decrease it. Also shown that on SSC and on the quantity of foundation displacements of deep foundations is significantly affected by the ratio of the width
and depth of the b/h.
A Branch-and-Bound Algorithm for the Knapsack Problem with Conflict Graph
Authors: Bettinelli Andrea , Cacchiani Valentina , Malaguti Enrico 
Published: June 2017

We study the knapsack problem with conflict graph (KPCG), an extension of the 0-1 knapsack problem, in which a conflict graph describing incompatibilities between items is given. The goal of the KPCG is to select the maximum profit set of compatible items while satisfying the knapsack capacity constraint. We present a new branch-and-bound approach to derive optimal solutions to the KPCG in short computing times. Extensive computational experiments are reported showing that, for instances with graph density of 10% and larger, the proposed method outperforms a state-of-the-art approach and mixed-integer programming formulations tackled through a general purpose solver.

Published: June 2017

Objectives The use of ceramic femoral heads in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased due to their proven low bearing wear characteristics. Ceramic femoral heads are also thought to reduce wear and corrosion at the head-stem junction with titanium (Ti) stems when compared with metal heads. We sought to evaluate taper damage of ceramic compared with metal heads when paired with cobalt chromium (CoCr) alloy stems in a single stem design. Methods This retrieval study involved 48 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with CoCr V40 trunnions paired with either CoCr (n = 21) or ceramic (n = 27) heads. The taper junction of all hips was evaluated for fretting/corrosion damage and volumetric material loss using a roundness-measuring machine. We used linear regression analysis to investigate taper damage differences after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Results We measured median taper material loss rates of 0.210 mm3/year (0.030 to 0.448) for the metal head group and 0.084 mm3/year (0.059 to 0.108) for the ceramic group. The difference was not significant (p = 0.58). Moreover, no significant correlation between material loss and implant or patient factors (p > 0.05) was found. Conclusions Metal heads did not increase taper damage on CoCr trunnions compared with ceramic heads from the same hip design. The amount of material released at the taper junctions was very low when compared with available data regarding CoCr/Ti coupling in metal-on-metal bearings. Cite this article: A. Di Laura, H.

Neste sentido, compartilhando de conceitos, teóricos, metodologias e objetos, as pesquisas, as individualidades investigativas vêm constituindo, num histórico, resultados coletivos de pesquisa sobre o tema que, conjuntamente, os pesquisadores vêm procurando organizar e divulgar em diferentes frentes e meios.

ABSTRACT
This paper has its origin in the round table “Perspectives about the modern Brazilian drama”, that took place in the IX ABRACE Congress in 2016. It presents a synthesis of some ideas about the modern drama in Brazil that lay their foundation in the research project of professors of three universities (UNICAMP, UFMG e UFSJ), connected by the research group: Group of Studies in Playwriting Letter and Act. This paper presents, therefore, three viewpoints about modern drama in Brazil that, without the purpose of forming a unique view, start a dialogue with the canonic history of Brazilian theater, in order to propose a theoretical review. In this sense, sharing concepts, theories, methodologies and objects, the individual researches have been composing collective results about the same thematic, that the three author are organizing in order to publish.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) are frequently codiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most of our current knowledge about ASD in FXS comes from family surveys and small studies. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the ASD diagnosis in a large clinic-based FXS population to better inform the care of people with FXS.METHODS:The study employed a data set populated by data from individuals with FXS seen at specialty clinics across the country. The data were collected by clinicians at the patient visit and by parent report for nonclinical and behavioral outcomes from September 7, 2012 through August 31, 2014. Data analyses were performed by using χ2 tests for association, t tests, and multiple logistic regression to examine the association between clinical and other factors with ASD status.RESULTS:Half of the males and nearly 20% of females met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria for current ASD. Relative to the FXS-only group, the FXS with ASD (FXS+ASD) group had a higher prevalence of seizures (20.7% vs 7.6%, P &lt; .001), persistence of sleep problems later in childhood, increased behavior problems, especially aggressive/disruptive behavior, and higher use of α-agonists and antipsychotics. Behavioral services, including applied behavior analysis, appeared to be underused in children with FXS+ASD (only 26% and 16% in prekindergarten and school-age periods, respectively) relative to other populations with idiopathic ASD.CONCLUSIONS:These findings confirm among individuals with FXS an association of an ASD diagnosis with important cooccurring conditions and identify gaps between expected and observed treatments among individuals with FXS+ASD.

Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:Delays in the diagnosis of children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) suggest the possibility of newborn screening as a way to identify children earlier. However, FXS does not have a proven treatment that must be provided early, and ethical concerns have been raised about the detection of infants who are carriers. This article summarizes major findings from a multisite, prospective, longitudinal pilot screening study.METHODS:Investigators in North Carolina, California, and Illinois collaborated on a study in which voluntary screening for FXS was offered to parents in 3 birthing hospitals. FXS newborn screening was offered to &gt;28 000 families to assess public acceptance and determine whether identification of babies resulted in any measurable harms or adverse events. Secondary goals were to determine the prevalence of FMR1 carrier gene expansions, study the consent process, and describe early development and behavior of identified children.RESULTS:A number of publications have resulted from the project. This article summarizes 10 “lessons learned” about the consent process, reasons for accepting and declining screening, development and evaluation of a decision aid, prevalence of carriers, father participation in consent, family follow-up, and maternal reactions to screening.CONCLUSIONS:The project documented public acceptance of screening as well as the challenges inherent in obtaining consent in the hospital shortly after birth. Collectively, the study provides answers to a number of questions that now set the stage for a next generation of research to determine the benefits of earlier identification for children and families.
The Ongoing Miracle and its Historical Roots

Solidarność pomnaża wolność. Stwarza ona bowiem środowisko przyjazne wolności oraz wprowadza w świat radykalną nowość w postaci rewolucji intelektualnej, społecznej i artystycznej. Solidarność jest także rezerwuarem wzajemnego zaufania i odpowiedzialnej pomocy humanitarnej. Wszystkie te aspekty cudu solidarności były obecne podczas polskiej rewolucji „Solidarności” z 1980 roku, która zapoczątkowała pokojową, społeczną i polityczną transformację kraju. Teoria i praktyka solidarności, odziedziczone po tej rewolucji, mogą być traktowane jako ideał regulatywny, który warto badać i kontynuować.
Religacja jako przejaw emanacji Boga. Filozofia Xaviera Zubiriego (1898–1983)
Authors: Niziński Rafał S. 
Published: June 2017

Artykuł jest próbą wyjaśnienia terminu „religacja”. Dokonuje się to na tle zasadniczego zrębu myśli Xaviera Zubiriego w kwestiach relacji między Bogiem a światem jako wyrazu emanacji Boga, gdzie Bóg, będąc osobą, w sposób wolny emanuje z siebie świat oraz człowieka. Człowiek, akceptując w sposób wolny boską emanację, ma szczególny dostęp do Boga, jednocząc się z Nim na poziomie osobowym.
Deformacje sumienia. Pseudonormy w ujęciu Dietricha von Hildebranda
Authors: Biesaga Tadeusz 
Published: June 2017

Artykuł przedstawia opis pseudonorm moralnych, które w naszej świadomości i w działaniu wypierają właściwe normy moralne oraz wypaczają naszą moralność. Analizuje głównie pseudonormy, które rodzą postawy legalizmu, i przeciwne im postawy anarchizmu moralnego. Pierwsze utożsamiają moralność z prawem stanowionym, w tym szczególnie z prawem karnym, drugie przeciwnie – utożsamiają moralność z tym, co spontaniczne, impulsywne, autentyczne.Artykuł nie tylko analizuje zakresowe i treściowe zniekształcenia przez substytuty moralności norm moralnych, ale i ujawnia powody powstawania pseudonorm w naszej świadomości. Powodami tymi są wpływ na naszą odpowiedź na wartości ja pysznego i ja pożądliwego oraz przedkładanie wartości pozamoralnych nad wartości moralne.Zdemaskowanie funkcjonowania pseudonorm w naszej świadomości moralnej jest przydatne nie tylko dla etyki, ale i dla psychologii i pedagogiki, dla samowychowania i rozwoju moralnego.

Published: June 2017

Objetivo: analisar os critérios para uso e monitorização de restrições físicas em pacientes internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Método: a pesquisa teve caráter exploratório, descritivo e qualitativo e foi realizada em duas UTIs da Bahia, com 85 profissionais de enfermagem. Os dados foram organizados com base na análise temática. Resultado: a equipe de enfermagem justifica a utilização da restrição física para a segurança do paciente. Como critério para seu uso, verificam-se o nível de consciência, o grau de agitação e/ou a desorientação. Para a monitorização, observam-se a integridade cutânea e as alterações do nível de consciência. Por isso, a avaliação neurológica foi a técnica mais empregada pelos profissionais para verificar a necessidade de restrição. O conhecimento da equipe em relação aos instrumentos legais que regem esse procedimento se mostrou superficial. Conclusão: identificaram-se fragilidades nos critérios de monitorização e suspensão da restrição física, visto que o conhecimento ainda é incipiente e que não há protocolos definidos.

Considerando a Phisalys peruviana L. uma fruta em que pesquisas e experimentações referente a distribuição de tamanhos dos frutos são escassos , desta forma, este trabalho objetiva verificar se frutos disponíveis comercialmente têm tamanho adequado, de acordo com as referências para formato e diâmetro do cálice. A condução do experimento se deu no Laboratório de Pós-Colheita do Campus São Mateus da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, município de São Mateus, utilizando-se sessenta frutos provenientes do estado de São Paulo. As variáveis analisadas para os cálculos foram: medidas de diâmetro lateral, diâmetro transversal e diâmetro do cálice, através de paquímetro digital. Observou-se que frutos com variação de tamanho entre 18,49 mm a 20,28 mm obtiveram formato mais próximo ao arredondado, característica mais desejável comercialmente. Além disso, notou-se que o tamanho do cálice cresce de acordo com o aumento de tamanho do fruto.
