Published: July 2024

Objective: This article seeks to promote a critical reflection on the social invisibility of workers who extract clay for brick production in the villages of Real and Vintém, in the municipality of Cantá-RR.

Theoretical Framework: Social invisibility is a concept used to describe people who are socially invisible due to prejudice, indifference, and stigmatization established by hegemonic groups. This phenomenon is evident in interpersonal and socioeconomic relationships of the contemporary era, despite globalization and the social advances achieved.

Method: To this end, field research and interviews were conducted with formal and informal workers actively engaged in production in the two mentioned villages, as well as documentary research. The theoretical production was based on the concept of labor as a commodity in the capitalist system, revealing the process of devaluation of this category of brickmakers.

Results and Discussion: The main results of the research indicate that some actions and inactions of the State, known as public policies, have reinforced the naturalization of the expulsion of these low-income people from their social spaces, contributing to a possible process of social cleansing.

Research Implications: The research questions current public policies, which, if applied in concrete reality, could improve the living and working conditions of brickmakers, promoting social inclusion and preventing their marginalization.

Originality/Value: This study offers an unprecedented analysis of the social invisibility of pottery workers who make bricks in Cantá-RR, providing a discussion on public policies aimed at improving their socioeconomic conditions and promoting social equity in contradiction to the ongoing social cleansing.

Communicating hydrocephalus after resection of a meningioma ventral to the foramen magnum
Authors: Taki Kowashi , Ninomiya Koshi , Yamamoto Akihiro , Suematsu Takuya , Sasaki Manabu , Kishima Haruhiko 
Published: July 2024

Background:
Tumors in or near the foramen magnum may cause communicating or non-communicating hydrocephalus (HC), depending on their size and location. Here, an 81-year-old female developed communicating HC following the resection of a meningioma ventral to the foramen magnum.

Case Description:
An 81-year-old female presented with numbness in the left neck and left hemiparesis. The magnetic resonance revealed an 18-mm tumor ventral to the foramen magnum that significantly enlarged over the past 6 months. She underwent total tumor resection but then presented with progressive HC both clinically (i.e., instability of gait with confusion) and radiographically (computed tomography). Following placement of a lumboperitoneal (LP) shunt, symptoms markedly improved. Further, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed elevated cell counts and protein concentrations, indicating likely “leakage” of intratumoral contents postoperatively contributing to the progressive HC.

Conclusion:
Patients presenting with acute meningiomas ventral to the foramen magnum may develop postoperative communicating HC attributed to tumor-related CSF leakage of necrotic intratumoral components that can be successfully treated with a LP shunt.

Published: July 2024

Background:
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a neurosurgical technique that is gaining renewed interest due to the worldwide resurgence of head injuries. We aimed to analyze the quality of management and prognosis of patients who underwent this surgery in the context of limited resources.

Methods:
This was a prospective, longitudinal, descriptive, and analytical study following STROBE, lasting 36 months at the National Hospital of Niamey in patients who had undergone DC. P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
During our study, we collected 74 cases of DC. The mean age was 32.04 years (10–75 years), with male predominance (91.89%). DC was mainly performed following head trauma (95.95%), the main cause of which was road traffic accidents (76%; 54/71). On admission, most patients presented with altered consciousness (95.95%) and pupillary abnormalities (62.16%). The average time between brain damage and brain scan was 31.28 h, with parenchymal contusion being the most frequent lesion (90.54%). The majority of patients (94.59%) underwent decompressive hemicraniectomy. Postoperative complications accounted for 71.62% of all cases, with 33.78% resulting in death. Among survivors, 55.10% had neurological sequelae at the last consultation (27/49). The main factors associated with the risk of death and morbidity were a Glasgow coma score ≤8, pupillary abnormality on admission, the presence of signs of brain engagement, and a long admission delay.

Conclusion:
Our study shows that the impact of limited resources on our care is moderate. Future research will concentrate on long-term monitoring, particularly focusing on the psychosocial reintegration of patients post-DC.

Published: July 2024

Background:
Ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPSs) are frequently employed in neurosurgery to treat hydrocephalus, with a particular focus on pediatric patients. Although VPSs are commonly utilized, they are not exempt from difficulties, such as shunt extrusion. The main aim of this study is to enhance comprehension regarding the occurrence, causes contributing to, and consequences of VPS extrusion in pediatric patients.

Methods:
A comprehensive search approach was implemented, including electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, to locate pertinent articles published between January 1950 and May 2023. The utilization of keywords such as “ventriculoperitoneal shunt” and “extrusion,” “ventriculoperitoneal shunt” and “migration,” and “ventriculoperitoneal shunt” and “perforation” was employed. Data on patient demographics, underlying diseases, origin of extrusion, presenting symptoms, treatment, and follow-up were gathered. Statistical studies were conducted to identify potential risk factors connected with the occurrence of shunt extrusion.

Results:
A study analyzed 80 studies on 120 individuals with extruded VPS catheters. The majority of patients (55.8%) had symptoms such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage and irritation. Hydrocephalus was categorized into congenital (40%), obstructive (36.7%), and communicating (11.7%) groups. Catheter extrusion sites varied, with most from the anal or rectal site. Preoperative meningitis or peritonitis was present in 20% of patients. Treatments ranged from shunt removal to endoscopic third ventriculostomy, resulting in a 90% recovery rate, 1.7% mortality, and 5% follow-up loss.

Conclusion:
Extrusion of the distal catheter in VPSs is a critical medical situation that necessitates urgent surgical intervention. The presence of an infection raises the likelihood of complications; hence, it is vital to promptly address the issue through the administration of antibiotics and the replacement of the shunt. Timely intervention enhances results.

Authors: Якубов Махмут Ренатович , Якубова Светлана Габидуллиновна 
Published: July 2024

На примере различных месторождений Татарстана показано отличие асфальтенов нефтей отложений девона и карбона. Асфальтены нефтей девона, можно охарактеризовать как концентрат поликонденсированных ароматических блоков с относительно низким содержанием гетероатомных компонентов и металлокомплексов. Асфальтены нефтей карбона, характеризуется меньшим числом поликонденсированных ароматических блоков за счет высокого содержания гетероатомных компонентов и металлокомплексов. Выявлена взаимосвязь оптической плотности (коэффициента светопоглощения) и парамагнетизма нефтяных асфальтенов. Светопоглощение асфальтенов можно использовать при решении практических задач, связанных с дифференциацией нефтей различных продуктивных пластов
The difference between petroleum asphaltenes from Devonian and Carboniferous reservoirs of Tatarstan was shown. Asphaltenes derived from Devonian oils can be characterized as a concentrate of polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons with relatively low content of heteroatomic components and metallocomplexes. On the contrary, asphaltenes derived from Carboniferous oils are characterized by the lower content of polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons and the higher amount of heteroatomic components and metallocomplexes. Correlation between optical density (light absorption coefficient) and paramagnetism of petroleum asphaltenes was revealed. Light absorption characteristics of asphaltenes can be applied in solving practical problems concerning the differentiation of the oils from the various productive reservoirs

Authors: Арсланова Лилия Зуфаровна , Малышев Павел Михайлович , Халиков Рустам Венерович 
Published: July 2024

В статье рассматриваются особенности формирования естественной трещиноватости в карбонатных коллекторах. Показано, что она приурочена к локальным изменениям геологических условий их залегания. При этом установлено, что их ориентация и раскрытость в значительной степени определяются углами наклона напластования и отложением в них минеральных и органогенных веществ. Доказывается, что в результате указанных геолого-физических особенностей гидропроводность, трещиноватость в карбонатных коллекторах в меньшей степени зависит от соотношения пластового и горного давления по сравнению с терригенными коллекторами, что благоприятствует применению при их эксплуатации циклического заведения. Приводится практическое доказательство подобного вывода на примере Знаменского месторождения Башкирии
The paper considers special aspects of the development of fracture network in carbonate reservoirs. It has been demonstrated that natural fractures are confined to local variations of geological conditions of their occurrence. As has been determined, fractures’ orientation and opening depend largely on bedding angles and deposition of mineral and organogenous sediments. It is proved that due to these geological and physical peculiarities water permeability and fracture porosity of carbonate reservoirs are less dependent on the relation between reservoir and rock pressures as compared to terrigenous reservoirs, thus favouring application of cyclic waterflooding in carbonate reservoirs. This conclusion has been field proven at the Znamenskoye oil field in the Republic of Bashkortostan
