Background & Aims: Diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs) is frequently challenging. We describe a large series of patients with p-NETs in whom both pre-operative Computed Tomography (CT) and Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS) were performed.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected sporadic p-NET cases. All patients underwent both standard multidetector CT study and EUS with fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The final histological diagnosis was achieved on a post-surgical specimen. Chromogranin A (CgA) levels were measured.
Results: A total of 80 patients (mean age: 58 ± 14.2 years; males: 42) were enrolled. The diameter of functioning was significantly lower than that of non-functioning p-NETs (11.2 ± 8.5 mm vs 19.8 ± 12.2 mm; P = 0.0004). The CgA levels were more frequently elevated in non-functioning than functioning pNET patients (71.4% vs 46.9%; P = 0.049). Overall, the CT study detected the lesion in 51 (63.7%) cases, being negative in 26 (68.4%) patients with a tumor ≤10 mm, and in a further 3 (15%) cases with a tumor diameter ≤20 mm. CT overlooked the pancreatic lesion more frequently in patients with functioning than non-functioning p-NETs (46.5% vs 24.3%; P = 0.002). EUS allowed a more precise pre-operative tumor measurement, with an overall incorrect dimension in only 9 (11.2%) patients. Of note, the EUS-guided FNA suspected the neuroendocrine nature of tumor in all cases.
Conclusions: Data of this large case series would suggest that the EUS should be included in the diagnostic work-up in all patients with a suspected p-NET, even when the CT study was negative for a primary lesion in the pancreas.– .
Abbrevations: CgA: chromogranin A; EUS: Endoscopic Ultrasonography; FNA: fine-needle aspiration; p-NETs: pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Multimodal Therapy including Yttrium-90 Radioembolization as a Bridging Therapy to Liver Transplantation for a Huge and Locally Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Published: September 2016

Treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains a major challenge. For an unresectable lesion without extrahepatic spread, liver transplantation could be a potential solution but it is still associated with poor oncologic results owing to the absence of effective neoadjuvant treatment. We report the case of a young man with locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma presenting with multiple intrahepatic metastases and vascular structure involvement. The lesion was significantly downstaged by a multimodal therapy including intra-arterial Yttrium-90 radioembolization, systemic chemotherapy and external radiotherapy, allowing liver transplantation. Three years after the procedure, oncologic outcome is excellent with no sign of recurrence.Multimodal therapy including Yttrium-90 radioembolization could be relevant as neoadjuvant treatment before liver transplantation for unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Abbrevations: CA 19-9: carbohydrate antigen 19-9; FDG-PET: fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography; HCC: hepatocellular carcinoma; ICC: intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; LT: liver transplantation; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; PHC: perihilar cholangiocarcinoma; Ytt-90: Yttrium-90.
“Traumatic fistula of glenohumeral joint with concurrent osteomyelitis and infection of periarticular tissues. The use of negative pressure therapy as one of the elements of treatment of chronic traumatic wound.”
Authors: Cybułka Bartosz , Rapeła Jacek , Wach Andrzej 
Published: September 2016

A negative pressure dressing system enables effective dressing of traumatic wounds. Extensive injuries and tissue defects that accompany bone fractures and articular surface injuries require special management. In case of compound fractures, the risk of bone, joint and soft tissue infection significantly increases, so the appropriate healing process of traumatic wound is limited. Undisturbed healing process of traumatic wound is conditioned only by the proper wound dressing process by the removal of necrotic and ischemic tissues and elimination of the sources of infection and infections themselves. The article shows a case report of a patient with a traumatic subcapital humerus fracture complicated by a haematoma and then by a periarticular abscess. After the incision and drainage of a reservoir of blood and pus, a chronic infected fistula of glenohumeral joint was formed. During a prolonged therapeutic process an aggressive surgical management was implemented, by the removal of the infected bone, what eliminated the actively secreting fistula of glenohumeral joint. Following the appropriate wound preparation, the negative pressure therapy was successfully applied. In the described case the application of negative pressure dressing system enabled a gradual decrease of total wound depth and surface area and consequently, a restriction of tissue defects.
O CAMINHO DE HUMANIZAÇÃO PASSA PELA AFIRMAÇÃO DOS SERES HUMANOS: A CELEBRAÇÃO, UMA OPORTUNIDADE PARA RETOMAR O CAMINHO
Authors: Trigo Pedro 
Published: September 2016

O artigo apresenta uma leitura da Constituição Pastoral Gaudium et spes, acentuando a dimensão antropológico-teológica como base para a unificação da humanidade. O Concílio Vaticano II foi um acontecimento que visou a toda a humanidade, partindo da verdade do ser humano como ser criado à imagem de Deus. Por isso, a absoluta afirmação de cada ser humano constitui ponto de partida para a formação do sujeito humano comprometido com a humanização inclusiva. A mundialização da época atual torna-se imperativa para essa afirmação. A atenção à interioridade, à voz da consciência, que está diante de Deus, chama o ser humano a optar pela verdade e o bem. O cultivo que cada criatura humana tem de si mesma inclui o compromisso com a fraternidade. Configura-se assim um verdadeiro kairós, que exige atitudes e decisões fundamentais para a construção de um mundo humanizado. Tais exigências abrangem os âmbitos econômico, social e político que devem ser organizados a fim de propiciar a personalização e a dedicação ao bem da família humana.ABSTRACT: The article presents a reading of the Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et spes, accentuating the anthropological-theological dimension as the basis for the unification of mankind. The Second Vatican Council was an event which envisionedall humanity, starting from the truth of the human being as being created in the image of God. Therefore, the absolute affirmation of each human being constitutes a starting point for the formation of human subject compromised with the humanization that is inclusive. The globalization of the current epoch becomes imperative to that affirmation. Attention to interiority, to the voice of conscience, that is before God, calls the human being to opt for truth and good. The cultivation that each human being has of itself includes the commitment to fraternity. This results in a true kairos, which requires fundamental attitudes and decisions for the construction of a humanized world. Such requirements touch the economic, social and political realms that should be organized in order to favor the personalization and dedication of the welfare of the human family.

A fé dos pobres possui uma lógica interna que é necessário aprofundar para identificar o que dita lógica pode oferecer aos processos de nova evangelização na Igreja e da missão continental proposta por Aparecida. No interior da confissão de fé, compreendida em seus níveis epistemológico e ético, caracteriza-se a fé dos pobres em suas dimensões de minoridade, resistência e maravilha e suas relações com a fé e a esperança. Uma nova dinâmica ministerial emerge como necessária para uma nova evangelização do continente que inclui o ministério dos teólogos e teólogas em relação adulta com os pastores e o magistério da Igreja.ABSTRACT: The faith of the poor has an internai logic that is necessary to deepen in order to identify the contribution that logic can offer to the processes of the new evangelization in the Church and of the continental mission proposed by Aparecida.

RESUMO: O Sínodo dos Bispos de 2012 referiu-se ao Vaticano I I destacando o debate sobre a hermenêutica da descontinuidade ou da continuidade. Que a proposta se centre nesta dialética representa uma limitação importante. Não obstante, oferece uma oportunidade para discutir a questão acerca de seu significado epocal com uma perspectiva de longo prazo e para refletir sobre o caráter de 'novidade' da nova evangelização. O presente texto discute o tema voltado particularmente para a transformação de diversas formas histórico-culturais da fé e da experiência eclesial. Daqui se extraem lições e critérios para orientar o caminho da nova evangelização.ABSTRACT: The Synod of Bishops of 2012 referred to Vatican II by the debate about the hermeneutics of discontinuity and continuity.

Authors: Sergio Carrara, CSsR Paulo , Ferreira, CSsR Vicente de Paula 
Published: September 2016

O artigo procura estabelecer um diálogo entre a fé cristã e alguns ateísmos pós-modernos. Sabe-se que várias formas de ateísmo emergem no horizonte hodierno, mas no artigo dois são abordados: o ateísmo racional, representado por Sam Harris, e o filosófico de Comte-Sponville. Sem negar a contribuição das críticas que os autores fazem à fé cristã, procura-se mostrar que o cristianismo está em condições de enfrentar os desafios que lhe são lançados. De fato, a fé cristã apresenta razoabilidade suficiente para dialogar com a ciência e a filosofia, acolhendo suas inegáveis contribuições e desafiando-as a avançar na sua compreensão do mundo como totalidade aberta. ABSTRACT: This article tries to establish a dialogue between the Christian Faith and some post modern atheisms. It is known that various forms of atheism have emerged on the actual horizon, but two are treated in this article: rational atheism represented by Sam Harris and philosophical atheism by Compte-Sponville. Not denying the contributions of the criticism that these authors make of the Christian faith, we try to show that Christianism is in conditions to deal with the challenges that they have proposed. In fact, the Christian faith presents suficientreasons for dialogue with science and with philosophy welcoming their undeni-able contributions and challenging them to advance in their comprehension of the world as an open totality.
Familia y mestizaje en dos cofradías de descendientes de africanos en Nueva España (San Miguel el Grande, siglo XVIII).
Authors: Castañeda García Rafael 
Published: September 2016

El presente artículo aborda las formas de agregación de los devotos a dos cofradías de carácter étnico, fundadas por mulatos y negros en San Miguel el Grande, ubicado en la región del Bajío de la Nueva España. Partimos de la idea de que estas corporaciones durante el siglo XVIII se encontraban mezcladas hacia su interior, y que la familia y los vínculos afectivos de distinto tipo fueron una de las motivaciones para que estas comunidades piadosas sumaran nuevos miembros, por lo que la calidad étnica y la devoción no fueron los únicos motivos para atraer cofrades.
San Bartolo y Cuxtepeques: Lengua, tierra y población en la Depresión Central de Chiapas.
Authors: Barrera Óscar 
Published: September 2016

En la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, el pueblo de San Bartolo y sus haciendas anexas reunieron la población más grande en todo el obispado de Chiapas. De manera sorprendente, en la segunda parte del siglo XIX la cantidad de habitantes de esta localidad no volvió a aumentar. Adicionalmente, a inicios del siglo XIX hubo un fuerte proceso de expansión de la propiedad rural que triplicó la decena de haciendas que existía en la región de San Bartolomé y el Valle de Cuxtepeques. Esta propuesta busca entender el estancamiento, ruralización y desindianización de los habitantes de San Bartolomé, atendiendo principalmente a los procesos de migración de indígenas y ladinos entre los campos y el pueblo.
De la filiation à la subversion : Les modalités et enjeux des répétitions dans Aucassin et Nicolette et le Roman de Silence
Authors: Samuelson Charlie 
Published: September 2016

Résumé Longtemps on a eu du mal à situer Aucassin et Nicolette au sein de la littérature courtoise. Ce travail se sert des écrits sur la répétition de J. Hillis Miller pour montrer qu’à l’échelle intratextuelle, le texte mobilise des mécanismes variés de la répétition qui reflètent et risquent même d’expliquer notre difficulté à le situer à l’échelle intertextuelle. Les répétitions dans la chantefable comportent aussi d’importantes implications politiques : le recours au Roman de Silence aidera à la fois à contextualiser les emplois de la répétition par la chantefable dans la poétique romanesque, et à illustrer comment certaines formes de répétition peuvent résister au patriarcat et à la logique normative, à tel point qu’elles peuvent être qualifiées de « queer ».

Published: September 2016

To assess the potential of biogas generation by anaerobic digestion from slaughter house waste (undigested stomach content) and to determine the optimum conditions for biogas generation from the substrate, different proportions of substrate were used in six batch reactors R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6. The reactors were operated with initial volatile solid concentrations of 34.00, 50.80, 67.20, 51.60, 48.10 and 63.36 g/l and corresponding specific gas production obtained was 0.258, 0.200, 0.160, 0.270, 0.201 and 0.170 l/g respectively. The volatile solids (VS) destruction efficiency was 31.71%, 29.15%, 28.26%, 32.29%, 30.56 and 29.08% as well as chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction achieved in the test reactors were 40.31%, 44.44%, 49.40%, 53.24%, 48.55% and 51.26% in R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 respectively. Methane yield in different reactors varied from 72% to 76%. The optimum mix for generation of biogas from the substrate was 75% slaughter waste mixed with 25% cow dung.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.
