Published: September 2015

A Sinusite crônica em seio maxilar decorrente de corpo estranho pode ser provocada pela presença de dentes, raízes dentárias ou materiais odontológicos, e ocasiona um processo inflamatório e infecção sinusal. O diagnóstico é facilmente obtido através dos achados clínicos e imaginológicos, porém, por desconhecimento e falhas na prevenção da inserção de corpos estranhos no seio maxilar, diversos profissionais de saúde não elucidam precocemente esta enfermidade. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever o caso clínico de uma paciente portadora de sinusite crônica, sem melhoras com tratamento medicamentoso que após avaliação radiográfica, foi possível identificar estrutura metálica em seio maxilar e sugeriu-se o diagnóstico de sinusite crônica decorrente de corpo estranho. Foi instituído tratamento medicamentoso e remoção cirúrgica associada à sinusectomia.

Published: September 2015

O presente artigo discute o impacto da experiência de atendimento clínico na formação do psicólogo a partir da disciplina Diagnóstico e Intervenções, que consta de atendimentos clínicos de psicodiagnóstico, realizados no Serviço Escola de uma instituição provada de ensino superior. O estudo põe em evidência a escuta psicológica clínica como instrumento fundamental ao fazer do psicólogo. Seu objetivo é descrever a relação que os estudantes, egressos da disciplina e também já do curso, fazem entre a prática desenvolvida e a formação de psicólogo. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo qualitativo realizado com 10 ex-alunos da instituição formados entre 2008 e 2010. Foi aplicado, ao longo de 2011, um questionário semiestruturado submetido a uma análise de conteúdo posterior. Conclui-se que a escuta clínica trabalhada em um processo de psicodiagnóstico é de fundamental importância para a formação do psicólogo, em qualquer campo de atuação, não necessariamente no consultório, pois através dela compreende-se o sujeito e sua questão. Faz-se necessário, portanto, ao psicólogo, ocupar um lugar específico que lhe permita escutar a subjetividade implicada nas diferentes experiências do sujeito, como possibilidade de fazer a diferença nas diversas áreas de trabalho.

Authors: Āboltiņa Līga 
Published: September 2015

Most studies on 7-year-old children's social adjustment in school focus on situation characterization by setting the adjustment process as a problem instead of offering possible solutions (OECD, 2001; OECD, 2006). According to theoretical knowledge and practical observations the purpose of the article is to promote 7- year-old children's social adjustment in school, creating a model of a 7-year-old child’s social adaptation in 1st grade. The article reveals the key aspects that affect the 7- year-old children's social adjustment, as well as describes the model components that determine the 7-year-old children's social adjustment in 1st grade.
Impact of Lowering BMI Cut Points as Recommended in the Revised American Diabetes Association's Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2015 on Diabetes Screening in Asian Americans
Authors: Hsia Daniel S. , Larrivee Sandra , Cefalu William T. , Johnson William D. 
Published: September 2015

OBJECTIVE
This study estimated the screening prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes using a lower BMI cutoff of 23 kg/m2 in Asians in the U.S. using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2012.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A cross-sectional analysis was conducted of non-Hispanic Asians, aged 45 years and older, with available BMI, HbA1c, and fasting glucose data. These overall criteria were met by 341 participants.

RESULTS
Lowering the screening BMI to 23 kg/m2 increased the sensitivity of screening for prediabetes and diabetes from 50.2 to 74.1% (P &lt; 0.0001) but decreased the specificity from 62.9 to 38.7% (P &lt; 0.0001).

CONCLUSIONS
Although this will add additional health care costs resulting from more widespread screening, early identification of these conditions may be beneficial for primary and secondary prevention in this unique population that develops prediabetes and diabetes at lower BMI levels.
Pain and Giving Way Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Cibulka Michael T. , White Douglas M. 
Published: September 2015

The patient was a 68-year-old man who had undergone right total knee arthroplasty 3 years prior. Due to the patient's worsening symptoms of pain and giving way, as well as significant joint laxity with varus/valgus stress testing, he was referred to his orthopaedic surgeon. Radiographs of the right knee revealed osteolysis surrounding the femoral component of the prosthesis and subsidence of the tibial tray, which is consistent with prosthetic loosening.

Solid mold investment casting – A replication process for open-cell foam metal production
Authors: Guler Kerem Altug 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Foam metals have always been an interesting material type because of their unique properties and various production techniques. In this study, solid mold investment casting process, which is one of the replication techniques, was used to produce open-cell aluminum foam specimens. Commercial rubber sponge was tested as foam pattern material. Plaster bonded solid molds were prepared in the stainless steel flasks and infiltration of the slurry into the rubber sponge was carried out under vacuum. Following this, pattern removal and mold firing was carried out gradually. Molten A319 casting and A6063 wrought aluminum alloys were cast into flash molds with vacuum assistance (−105 Pa). Sponge pattern and cast foam specimens were examined and compared by stereo microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is clearly found that rubber sponge is a very suitable pattern material for producing open-cell foam structures.

Published: September 2015

Abstract
A spiral concentrator is a gravity concentration device. It was invented by Humphreys in 1941. Firstly, it was designed and developed based on experience and by extensive testing of prototypes and modifications. The main objective of the present study is the simulation of the particulate flow of more realistic solid concentrations (i. e., 15 wt.-% solids) in a spiral separator. This study is based on the Eulerian approach and renormalization group k-∊ turbulence modeling. The results focus on particulate flow characteristics such as velocity, distribution and concentration of particulates on the spiral trough. The predicted results were compared with the experimental results in case of LD9 coal spiral. Comparisons between numerical and measured data showed good agreement.

Sonographic short-term follow-up after surgical decompression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel: a single-center prospective observational study
Authors: Tas Sueleyman , Staub Frank , Dombert Thomas , Marquardt Gerhard , Senft Christian , Seifert Volker , Duetzmann Stephan 
Published: September 2015

OBJECT
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes increased cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve, which can be assessed by high-definition ultrasonography. It is unclear today, however, whether high-definition ultrasonography may play a role in the postoperative period. This prospective study aimed to determine the natural history of the morphology of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel after surgical decompression assessed by high-definition ultrasonography.

METHODS
Between October and December 2014, patients with suspected carpal tunnel syndrome who were referred to the authors’ center for peripheral neurosurgery were prospectively enrolled and underwent pre- and postoperative (3 months) high-definition ultrasonography, electrophysiology, and clinical testing.

RESULTS
Eighty-one patients were enrolled in the study, and 100% were clinically better at the 3-month follow-up. The mean CSA decreased from 14.7 ± 4.9 mm2 to 12.4 ± 3.4 mm2 (mean ± SD, p < 0.0001). The mean distal motor latency decreased from 6.6 ± 2.4 msec to 4.8 ± 1.0 msec (mean ± SD, p < 0.0001). Ninety-eight percent of patients who were available for electrodiagnostic follow-up showed an improvement of the distal motor latency; only 80% had a reduction in the CSA.

CONCLUSIONS
The authors present the second-largest series of patients with sonographic follow-up after surgical decompression of the carpal tunnel reported in the literature so far. This study, which showed a decrease in size of the median nerve after surgical decompression, suggests that the preoperative increase in median nerve CSA at the carpal tunnel may be due to compression and that enlargement of the median nerve is (partially) reversible.
The almost-invisible perineurioma
Authors: Restrepo Carlos E. , Amrami Kimberly K. , Howe Benjamin M. , Dyck P. James B. , Mauermann Michelle L. , Spinner Robert J. 
Published: September 2015

Intraneural perineurioma is a rare, benign slow-growing lesion arising from the perineurial cells that surrounds the peripheral nerve fibers. Typically it presents during childhood and young adulthood as a motor mononeuropathy. MRI plays an essential role in the diagnosis and localization of the lesion, which appears as a fusiform enlargement of the nerve fascicles that enhances intensely with gadolinium. Despite the typical clinical and radiological features, intraneural perineurioma remains largely underdiagnosed because of the lack of familiarity with this entity, but also as a result of technical limitations with conventional MRI that is typically performed as a screening test over a large field of view and without contrast sequences. The purpose of this article is to present the pitfalls and pearls learned from years of experience in the diagnosis and management of this relatively rare condition.
Clinical suspicion and detailed neurological examination followed by high-quality electrophysiological studies (EPS) must lead to an adequate preimaging localization of the lesion and narrowing of the imaging area. The use of high-resolution (3-T) MRI combined with gadolinium administration will allow adequate visualization of the internal anatomy of the nerve and help in differentiating other causes of neuropathy. In cases where the lesion is not recognized but clinical suspicion is high, possible errors must be assessed, including the EPS localization, area of imaging, MRI resolution, and slice thickness.
Visualization of nerve fibers and their relationship to peripheral nerve tumors by diffusion tensor imaging

Published: September 2015

OBJECT
The majority of growing and/or symptomatic peripheral nerve tumors are schwannomas and neurofibromas. They are almost always benign and can usually be resected while minimizing motor and sensory deficits if approached with the proper expertise and techniques. Intraoperative electrophysiological stimulation and recording techniques allow the surgeon to map the surface of the tumor in an effort to identify and thus avoid damaging functioning nerve fibers. Recently, MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) techniques have permitted the visualization of axons, because of their anisotropic properties, in peripheral nerves. The object of this study was to compare the distribution of nerve fibers as revealed by direct electrical stimulation with that seen on preoperative MR DTI.

METHODS
The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with a peripheral nerve or nerve root tumor between March 2012 and January 2014. Diffusion tensor imaging and intraoperative data had been prospectively collected for patients with peripheral nerve tumors that were resected. Preoperative identification of the nerve fiber location in relation to the nerve tumor surface as seen on DTI studies was compared with the nerve fiber’s intraoperative localization using electrophysiological stimulation and recordings.

RESULTS
In 23 patients eligible for study there was good correlation between nerve fiber location on DTI and its anatomical location seen intraoperatively. Diffusion tensor imaging demonstrated the relationship of nerve fibers relative to the tumor with 95.7% sensitivity, 66.7% specificity, 75% positive predictive value, and 93.8% negative predictive value.

CONCLUSIONS
Preoperative DTI techniques are useful in helping the peripheral nerve surgeon to both determine the risks involved in resecting a nerve tumor and plan the safest surgical approach.
Perineural spread of pelvic malignancies to the lumbosacral plexus and beyond: clinical and imaging patterns
Authors: Capek Stepan , Howe Benjamin M. , Amrami Kimberly K. , Spinner Robert J. 
Published: September 2015

OBJECT
Perineural spread along pelvic autonomie nerves has emerged as a logical, anatomical explanation for selected cases of neoplastic lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) in patients with prostate, bladder, rectal, and cervical cancer. The authors wondered whether common radiological and clinical patterns shared by various types of pelvic cancer exist.

METHODS
The authors retrospectively reviewed their institutional series of 17 cases concluded as perineural tumor spread. All available history, physical examination, electrodiagnostic studies, biopsy data and imaging studies, evidence of other metastatic disease, and follow-up were recorded in detail. The series was divided into 2 groups: cases with neoplastic lumbosacral plexopathy confirmed by biopsy (Group A) and cases included based on imaging characteristics despite the lack of biopsy or negative biopsy results (Group B).

RESULTS
Group A comprised 10 patients (mean age 69 years); 9 patients were symptomatic and 1 was asymptomatic. The L5–S1 spinal nerves and sciatic nerve were most frequently involved. Three patients had intradural extension. Seven patients were alive at last follow-up. Group B consisted of 7 patients (mean age 64 years); 4 patients were symptomatic, 2 were asymptomatic, and 1 had only imaging available. The L5–S1 spinal nerves and the sciatic nerve were most frequently involved. No patients had intradural extension. Four patients were alive at last follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS
The authors provide a unifying theory to explain lumbosacral plexopathy in select cases of various pelvic neoplasms. The tumor cells can use splanchnic nerves as conduits and spread from the end organ to the lumbosacral plexus. Tumor can continue to spread along osseous and muscle nerve branches, resulting in muscle and bone “metastases.” Radiological studies show a reproducible, although nonspecific pattern, and the same applies to clinical presentation.

Published: September 2015

A dominating set D ? V[BS(G)] is a split dominating set in [BS(G)] if the induced subgraph ?V[BS(G)] - D? is disconnected in [BS(G)]. The split domination number of [BS(G)] is denoted by ?sbs(G), is the minimum cardinality of a split dominating set in [BS(G)]. In this paper, some results on ?sbs(G) were obtained interms of vertices, blocks and other different parameters of G but not the members of [BS(G)]. Further we develop its relationship with other different domination parameters of G.

Published: September 2015

One of the approaches for phosphorus fertilizer management is controlling the soil phosphorus adsorption behavior. To examine the effect on phosphorus adsorption behavior, three amended soil samples were prepared by mixing 10% (w/w in dry basis) cow dung, biogas slurry and vermicompost with soil. Phosphorus adsorption behavior was examined by using Langmuir, and Temkin adsorption isotherms. Initially, biogas slurry and vermicompost increased the maximum phosphorus adsorption capacity (MPAC) of soil from 461 µg g-1 (control) to 558.0357 and 586.17 µg g-1 respectively, and then decreased steadily and reached 429.92 and 398.41 µg g-1 respectively in five weeks. Whereas in case of cow dung, MPAC was initially decreased, then reached maximum in 17 days and ultimately decreased. Thus application of cow dung along with phosphate fertilizer seems to increase the loss of the fertilizer through runoff and leaching. Conversely, biogas slurry and vermicompost prevent phosphorus loss by regulating phosphorus release through initial enhancement followed by gradual decrease in phosphorus adsorption capacity of soil. Both biogas slurry and vermicompost can be considered as good soil amendments as they have the ability to control the release of phosphorus fertilizer as per the need of the plants.

Objective.To summarize the work performed by the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Ultrasound (US) Working Group on the validation of US as a potential outcome measure in gout.Methods.Based on the lack of definitions, highlighted in a recent literature review on US as an outcome tool in gout, a series of iterative exercises were carried out to obtain consensus-based definitions on US elementary components in gout using a Delphi exercise and subsequently testing these definitions in static images and in patients with proven gout. Cohen’s κ was used to test agreement, and values of 0–0.20 were considered poor, 0.20–0.40 fair, 0.40–0.60 moderate, 0.60–0.80 good, and 0.80–1 excellent.Results.With an agreement of > 80%, consensus-based definitions were obtained for the 4 elementary lesions highlighted in the literature review: tophi, aggregates, erosions, and double contour (DC). In static images interobserver reliability ranged from moderate to almost perfect, and similar results were found for the intrareader reliability. In patients the intraobserver agreement was good for all lesions except DC (moderate). The interobserver agreement was poor for aggregates and DC but moderate for the other components.Conclusion.These first steps in evaluating the validity of US as an outcome measure for gout show that the reliability of the definitions ranged from moderate to excellent in static images and somewhat lower in patients, indicating that a standardized scanning technique may be needed, before testing the responsiveness of those definitions in a composite US score.

Objective.This study examined whether daily weather conditions, 3-day average weather conditions, and changes in weather conditions influence joint pain in older people with osteoarthritis (OA) in 6 European countries.Methods.Data from the population-based European Project on OSteoArthritis were used. The American College of Rheumatology classification criteria were used to diagnose OA in older people (65–85 yrs). After the baseline interview, at 6 months, and after the 12–18 months followup interview, joint pain was assessed using 2-week pain calendars. Daily values for temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed were obtained from local weather stations. Multilevel regression modelling was used to examine the pain-weather associations, adjusted for several confounders.Results.The study included 810 participants with OA in the knee, hand, and/or hip. After adjustment, there were significant associations of joint pain with daily average humidity (B = 0.004, p < 0.01) and 3-day average humidity (B = 0.004, p = 0.01). A significant interaction effect was found between daily average humidity and temperature on joint pain. The effect of humidity on pain was stronger in relatively cold weather conditions. Changes in weather variables between 2 consecutive days were not significantly associated with reported joint pain.Conclusion.The associations between pain and daily average weather conditions suggest that a causal relationship exist between joint pain and weather variables, but the associations between day-to-day weather changes and pain do not confirm causation. Knowledge about the relationship between joint pain in OA and weather may help individuals with OA, physicians, and therapists to better understand and manage fluctuations in pain.
