AbstractObjectiveTo develop and describe a technique for percutaneous radiologic gastrojejunostomy tube placement in the dog.DesignProspective technique development study.SettingUniversity teaching hospital.AnimalsSix healthy adult male Beagles.InterventionsFollowing anesthetic induction, fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance were used to identify an appropriate gastropexy site on the left lateral abdomen. Gastropexy was performed using gastrointestinal suture anchors. An over‐the‐wire catheter technique using fluoroscopic guidance was used to achieve jejunal access. An 18F/8F, 58 cm, dual‐lumen gastrojejunal feeding tube was placed via serial over‐the‐wire dilation of the body wall using an 18F peel‐away introducer kit. Tube location was determined radiographically immediately following placement and on days 2, 4, after emesis on day 4, and at time of gastrojejunal feeding tube removal (day 16–18).Measurements and Main ResultsPercutaneous radiologic gastrojejunostomy (PRGJ) tube placement was successful in all dogs. Median time to pyloric passage with the guide wire was 23.5 minutes (range, 9–93 minutes). Median total procedure time was 53 minutes (range, 49–113 minutes). Significant tube migration was not observed at any point during the study. One dog developed linear foreign body obstruction secondary to the tube on day 5 that was relieved by release of the jejunal component. Other complications were minor and included mild‐to‐moderate peristomal inflammation in all dogs and removal of the feeding tube on day 3 by 1 dog. Feedings were well tolerated in all dogs.ConclusionsPRGJ tube placement in the dog is a safe and minimally invasive technique that allows for jejunal feeding without surgery or endoscopy. The high success rates, acceptable procedural times, and minimal complications are appealing for use in critically ill patients. Although additional evaluations are needed, PRGJ tube placement may be considered for dogs that require postpyloric feeding with or without gastric decompression.

Key points
The mechanisms of action of anaesthetics on the living brain are still poorly understood. In this respect, the analysis of the differential effects of anaesthetics on spontaneous and sensory‐evoked cortical activity might provide important and novel cues.
Here we show that the anaesthetic sevoflurane strongly silences the brain but potentiates in a dose‐ and frequency‐dependent manner the cortical visual response.
Such enhancement arises from a linear scaling by sevoflurane of the power‐law relation between light intensity and the cortical response.
The fingerprint of sevoflurane action suggests that circuit silencing can boost linearly synaptic responsiveness presumably by scaling the number of responding units and/or their correlation following a sensory stimulation.
AbstractGeneral anaesthetics, which are expected to silence brain activity, often spare sensory responses. To evaluate differential effects of anaesthetics on spontaneous and sensory‐evoked cortical activity, we characterized their modulation by sevoflurane and propofol. Power spectra and the bust‐suppression ratio from EEG data were used to evaluate anaesthesia depth. ON and OFF cortical responses were elicited by light pulses of variable intensity, duration and frequency, during light and deep states of anaesthesia. Both anaesthetics reduced spontaneous cortical activity but sevoflurane greatly enhanced while propofol diminished the ON visual response. Interestingly, the large potentiation of the ON visual response by sevoflurane was found to represent a linear scaling of the encoding mechanism for light intensity. To the contrary, the OFF cortical visual response was depressed by both anaesthetics. The selective depression of the OFF component by sevoflurane could be converted into a robust potentiation by the pharmacological blockade of the ON pathway, suggesting that the temporal order of ON and OFF responses leads to a depression of the latter. This hypothesis agrees with the finding that the enhancement of the ON response was converted into a depression by increasing the frequency of light‐pulse stimulation from 0.1 to 1 Hz. Overall, our results support the view that inactivity‐dependent modulation of cortical circuits produces an increase in their responsiveness. Among the implications of our findings, the silencing of cortical circuits can boost linearly the cortical responsiveness but with negative impact on their frequency transfer and with a loss of the information content of the sensory signal.

Voglio essere io a dire come mi chiamo: nome e paradigma identitario nella letteratura italiana della migrazione
Authors: Horn Vera 
Published: July 2016

Ao defrontar-se com o outro e a sociedade que o acolhe, o migrante è levado a realizar um processo de renegociação e de redefinição do conceito de identidade, frequentement dissipada, renegada, diluída nesse confronto. Nesse sentido, o nome, que constitui um dos aspectos da questão mais complexa da formação de identidade em consequência de processos migratórios, torna-se um meio de afirmação e de salva-guarda da identidade pessoal e cultural contra o achatamento que pode caracterizar o processo de inserção e integração social que, às vezes é representado, justamente na tentativa de rebatizar o imigrnte. A literatura da migração na Itália, que já tem uma produção consistente que dura há mais de vinte anos, deteve-se sobre esse problema em seu percurso evolutivo por meio de contos, romances, também recentes, dos quais daremos notícias a seguir.
Il Cristianesimo Felice del Muratori nella Galassia Guntenberg di McLuhan
Authors: Guardiani Francesco 
Published: July 2016

Assunto do ensaio é uma interpretação do tratado de Muratori segundo a teoria das transformações culturais de Marshall McLuhan, autor de The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man. A utopia gesuítica do Paraguay, que iniciou em 1609, foi justamente fista por Muratori, um sécolo e meio mais tarde, como uma expressão de autêntica modernidade, entendida em sentido "tipográfico". A atividade dos gesuítas, com efeito, não é apreciada somente pela conversão ao cristianismo das populações indiígenas, mas também pela sua alfabetização e emancipação cultura.

A elaboração de um dicionário bilingue tem por objetivo estabelecer a equivalência de unidades lexicais entre duas línguas. Para estabelecê-la devemos considerar a correspondência entre o conjunto de traços significativos de cada unidade lexical, suas características e descritores, bem como o nível de seleção que será o ponto de partida e de chegada da definição. Esses elementos dependem do tipo de obra lexicográfica e se seu público usuário. A pesquisa realizada para a elaboração de um glossário italiano-português sobre massas alimentícias originou uma série de reflexões que apresentamos nesse artigo.

Objective—
Pathological ocular neovascularization is a major cause of blindness. Increased dietary intake of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) reduces retinal neovascularization and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), but ω-3 LCPUFA metabolites of a major metabolizing pathway, cytochrome P450 oxidase (CYP) 2C, promote ocular pathological angiogenesis. We hypothesized that inhibition of CYP2C activity will add to the protective effects of ω-3 LCPUFA on neovascular eye diseases.

Approach and Results—
The mouse models of oxygen-induced retinopathy and laser-induced CNV were used to investigate pathological angiogenesis in the retina and choroid, respectively. The plasma levels of ω-3 LCPUFA metabolites of CYP2C were determined by mass spectroscopy. Aortic ring and choroidal explant sprouting assays were used to investigate the effects of CYP2C inhibition and ω-3 LCPUFA–derived CYP2C metabolic products on angiogenesis ex vivo. We found that inhibition of CYP2C activity by montelukast added to the protective effects of ω-3 LCPUFA on retinal neovascularization and CNV by 30% and 20%, respectively. In CYP2C8-overexpressing mice fed a ω-3 LCPUFA diet, montelukast suppressed retinal neovascularization and CNV by 36% and 39% and reduced the plasma levels of CYP2C8 products. Soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibition, which blocks breakdown and inactivation of CYP2C ω-3 LCPUFA–derived active metabolites, increased oxygen-induced retinopathy and CNV in vivo. Exposure to selected ω-3 LCPUFA metabolites of CYP2C significantly reversed the suppression of both angiogenesis ex vivo and endothelial cell functions in vitro by the CYP2C inhibitor montelukast.

Conclusions—
Inhibition of CYP2C activity adds to the protective effects of ω-3 LCPUFA on pathological retinal neovascularization and CNV.
Evaporative and Radiative Cooling in POST Stratocumulus

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Buoyancy reversal by evaporative cooling in entrainment holes has a minimal influence on stratocumulus (Sc) observed during the Physics of Stratocumulus Top (POST) aircraft field study held off the California coast in 2008. High-resolution temperature and microphysics measurements show only small differences for Sc with and without buoyancy reversal predicted by mixing fraction analysis that relates mixtures of cloudy air and free-atmospheric air to buoyancies of the mixtures. The reduction of LWC due to evaporation in the holes is a small percentage (average ~12%) of liquid water diluted in the Sc by entrainment from the entrainment interface layer (EIL) located above unbroken cloud top where most mixing, evaporation, and reduction of the large buoyancy jump between the cloud and free atmosphere occur. Entrainment is dominated by radiative cooling at cloud top.

Background: Symptomatic labral tears are common in patients with acetabular dysplasia; however, optimal treatment of the labrum remains controversial. Purpose: To present patient characteristics and early functional outcomes associated with combined arthroscopic labral refixation and Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia with a displaced labral tear from the acetabular rim. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients undergoing PAO from a single-center prospective hip preservation registry were eligible (N = 73 patients; mean clinical follow-up, 23 months). Indications for combined arthroscopic labral refixation included symptomatic labral injury and MRI findings suggestive of labral detachment from the acetabular rim indicating a repairable tear. The study group consisted of patients undergoing combined arthroscopic labral refixation and PAO (scope/PAO group: n = 21 patients). Patients undergoing PAO alone (PAO group: n = 52 patients) were included as a comparison. Demographic characteristics, pre- and postoperative radiographic findings, and hip-specific functional outcome scores were recorded. Results: The scope/PAO group was older relative to PAO alone (27 vs 23 years; P = .047). Preoperative computed tomography showed increased acetabular version at the 3-o’clock position in the scope/PAO group relative to PAO alone (median [quartile 1, quartile 3]: 24° [20°, 25°] vs 19° [14°, 24°]; P = .026). PAO operative time, achievement of radiographic correction, or postoperative complications did not differ between groups. Improvements by minimum important change for modified Harris Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score (HOS)–ADL, HOS-Sport, and International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) were seen in 90%, 79%, 74%, and 100% of patients, respectively, undergoing scope/PAO at most recent follow-up. There was greater improvement from baseline in the iHOT-33 at most recent follow-up in the scope/PAO versus PAO group after adjusting for age and Tönnis grade (mean change ± SD: 48 ± 22 [scope/PAO] vs 37 ± 24 [PAO]; P = .03). Conclusion: Patients undergoing combined arthroscopic labral refixation and PAO were older and had increased acetabular anteversion versus patients undergoing PAO alone. Combined arthroscopic labral refixation and PAO was safe, did not affect PAO operative time or radiographic correction achievement, and may benefit clinical outcomes in this patient subset.
Exercising in Comfort
Authors: Sehlikoglu Sertaç 
Published: July 2016

AbstractWomen’s control of their bodily movements, especially in the Islamicate contexts of the Middle East, constitutes a multilayered process of building privacy, heterosexuality, and intimacy. Physical exercise, however, with the extensive body movements it requires, problematizes women’s ability to control their public sexualities. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2011 and 2012 in Istanbul, this article explores the everyday concerns of Istanbulite women who seek rahatlık (comfort) during exercise. The interviewees frequently used the word rahatlık when referring to women-only spaces in the culture of mahremiyet (intimacy, privacy). This article furthers the scholarship on Muslim sexualities by examining the diversity of women’s concerns regarding their public sexualities and the boundary-making dynamics in the culture of mahremiyet. I argue that mahremiyet operates as an institution of intimacy that provides a metacultural intelligibility for heteronormativity based on sexual scripts, normative spaces, and gendered acts.
Landscape and Inscription
Authors: Wolfe Cary , Whiteman Maria 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This essay discusses the changing notions of landscape and nature at work in the video installation Mountain Pine Beetle and explores some of the forces that eventuated in the devastated landscapes of the Rocky Mountain West brought on by the infestation of the mountain pine beetle beginning in the early 2000s—an infestation caused, in no small part, by what some scientists have called a perfect storm of circumstances created by global warming. For this project, the landscape becomes a site of inscription of forces that operate both above and below human scales of perception and interaction with the landscape—forces that are at once geological, economic, and geopolitical.

Abstract
The goal of the present paper is to draw attention to some key rules and principles of the purchase contract. After the specification of this contract type we will deal in more details with the defective performance and the procedure of its complaint. As suggest the first assessment and reviews of the application of new legislation in its practical use and by the case law, in the achievement of the objective desired by the NCC - to increase the transparency of the procedure of complaints - the new legislation stacked in the middle of the way. The paper compares the impact of the new the previous and the current regulations, We will use the method of functional analysis as well as the method of legal formalistic comparison. It is obvious that the new rules respect the former régime of commercial contracts. The business sphere has undoubtedly welcomed this feature of the legal regime as the merchandisers are familiar with these rules. The second issue is, however, how this modification in the general regulation meets the expectations of the to provide sufficient legal certainty in the interpretation of contractual provisions and in the access to the protection of their interests by courts in the event of disputes.
