Pensar a América Latina – Cultura, Arte, Intelectuais e Meios de Comunicação
Authors: Burkhart Mara , Sepúlveda Iza Debohra Godoi 
Published: February 2024

O presente dossiê propõe reúne artigos que abordam a circulação de ideias de grupos vinculados aos campos das artes, letras, ciências e política na América Latina a partir de discussões que circundaram o debate de projetos nacionais, com ênfase na atuação em diversos meios de comunicação, como jornais, revistas, televisão e rádio. Com isso, aqui propomos uma reflexão ao largo do século XX, durante períodos autoritários (seja em momentos ditatoriais, seja em momentos de tensão na implantação de projetos nacionais em momentos de estabilidade democrática.) no qual artistas e intelectuais latino-americanos conceberam projetos e construíram redes de sociabilidade pensando uma ação anti-hegemônica. Assim reunimos trabalhos que debatem a realidade latina por pesquisadores de toda a América Latina, sobretudo brasileiros e argentinos. Do ponto de vista teórico-metodológico, este dossiê se debruça na História Social da Cultura, situando os espaços de atuação construídos por diversos agentes a partir de projetos que buscaram alternativas para as tradições autoritárias e imperialistas presentes até agora nos Estados-nacionais. Tal reflexão nos parece salutar para repensar os campos de disputa e concepção do que é a construção do ser latino-americano, qual o papel do nosso continente nas redes intelectuais e artísticas, na proposição de projetos que dialogaram com as particularidades sociais do nosso espaço geográfico, da atuação nas brechas, das negociações e de como é crucial retomar à luz do século XXI outras formas de pensar os projetos nacionais e as discussões de ideias que resultaram na tradição intelectual de esquerda latino-americana.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine if aflatoxin was related to child stunting in the study areas of two counties in Eastern Kenya. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between aflatoxin and stunting in children 6 to 59 months. The study presents a question of aflatoxin as a contaminant of staple foods for children and therefore an “underlying factor” contributing to stunting outcome in children in affected study areas. A multi-stage field survey was carried out at county and household level.
Methodology: Data were collected at household level by research assistants using a smart phone which had geo-positioning that enabled data verification by supervisors. Food samples of local maize-flour and other cereals were collected and analyzed in the laboratory for aflatoxin contamination. Data was analyzed using SPSS Version 21. Analysis of factors that contribute to stunting raises an important question on the underlying possibility of aflatoxin.
Findings: Findings revealed a significant relationship was established between breastfeeding and stunting through ANOVA p/> 0.017 (t –value -2.810 and robust standard error of 0.5131 and coefficient value of -1.4411). Aflatoxin levels from samples of maize grain, flour mixes and animal feed collected was 17.8% of toxicity above national and regional safe margin of 10ppb.
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: Key interventions including farmer education and sensitization as well as use of aflasafe in the soil to reduce aflatoxin in the region are recommended.

Published: February 2024

IntroductionLipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a strong, genetically determined, pathogenetic factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The aim of this post-hoc analysis was to compare the effect of hypolipidemic treatment on Lp(a) levels of patients with mixed hyperlipidemia.Material and methodsWe previously randomized patients with mixed hyperlipidemia (low-density lipoprotein [LDL-C] > 160 mg/dl and triglycerides > 200 mg/dl) to rosuvastatin monotherapy 40 mg/day (R group, n = 30) or rosuvastatin 10 mg/day combined with fenofibrate 200 mg/day (RF group, n = 30) or omega-3 fatty acids 2 g/day (RΩ group, n = 30). In the present post-hoc analysis, we included only the patients whose Lp(a) levels were assessed (16, 16 and 15 in the R, RF and RΩ groups, respectively). Lipid profile and Lp(a) were measured at baseline and after 3 months of treatment.ResultsSignificant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and triglyceride levels were observed in all groups. A significant increase in Lp(a) levels was noted in the R (p = 0.017) and RF (p = 0.029) groups, while no significant difference was seen in the RΩ group (p = NS). Regarding Lp(a) elevations, no differences were found between groups. In the R group, a strong negative correlation between the changes in Lp(a) and LDL-C (r = –0.500, p = 0.049) was observed, while a significant negative correlation between the changes in Lp(a) and triglycerides (r = –0.531, p = 0.034) was noted in the RF group.ConclusionsRosuvastatin and/or fenofibrate treatment increases Lp(a) levels in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia. Novel therapies should target Lp(a) level reduction to decrease the residual ASCVD risk in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia.

Authors: Prokopiuk Agata , Mackiewicz Jerzy 
Published: February 2024

PurposeTo present preliminary results of distance, intermediate and near visual acuity, objective and manifest refraction in two groups of patients: targeted on emmetropia and targeted on small myopia after cataract surgery with an implantation of Extended Depth-of-Focus AcrySof<sup>®</sup> IQ Vivity<sup>®</sup> DFT015 (Alcon Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA) intraocular lens in three months follow-up.Material and MethodsA total of 18 eyes of 15 patients underwent 2.4 mm coaxial cataract surgery with an implantation of AcrySof<sup>®</sup> IQ Vivity<sup>®</sup> DFT015 intraocular lens (Alcon Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA). Before surgery best-corrected distance visual acuity, objective and manifest refraction and corneal keratometry were evaluated. Three months after the surgery uncorrected and best-corrected distance visual acuity, uncorrected intermediate visual acuity uncorrected and best-corrected near visual acuity, objective and manifest refraction and corneal keratometry were analyzed in both groups.ResultsThree months after the surgery in the emmetropic group refractive outcomes were: mean uncorrected distance visual acuity 0.04 ± 0.05, mean best-corrected visual acuity 0.01 ± 0.04, mean uncorrected intermediate visual acuity 0,01 ± 0,03, mean uncorrected near visual acuity 0.15 ± 0.09 and mean best-corrected near visual acuity 0.00 ± 0. In the mini monovision group: mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.13 ± 0.11, mean best corrected visual acuity 0.01 ± 0.02, mean uncorrected intermediate visual acuity 0.00 ± 0, mean uncorrected near visual acuity 0.09 ± 0.13 and mean best-corrected near visual acuity 0.00 ± 0. There was no significant change in corneal keratometry in flat and steep meridian (<i>p</i> = 0.59 and <i>p</i> = 0.4) in whole group. There were no intra- and post-operative complications in any of the patients.ConclusionsAcrySof<sup>®</sup> IQ Vivity<sup>®</sup> DFT015 (Alcon Inc., Fort Worth, TX, USA) provided good distance and intermediate visual acuity with the functional near. It is well tolerated with poor impact of post-operative optical phenomena. Significant gains in binocular near vision can be achieved by leaving the nondominant eye of patients with 0.50 D to 1.00 D of myopia.

Published: February 2024

Objective: This study investigates the relationship between tax aggressiveness and corporate financialization in companies listed on Brazil's B3 Stock Exchange from 2009 to 2022.
Method: We employed a panel linear regression model, adjusting for fixed effects related to individual companies and specific years. We used metrics such as abnormal book tax differences (BTDA), effective tax rate (ETR), and Comprehensive Value-Added Tax Rate (CVATR) to measure tax aggressiveness.
Results: Our findings show a positive correlation between tax aggressiveness and corporate financialization. Firms employing aggressive tax strategies exhibited increased financialization. For robustness, dummy variables targeting aggressively taxed firms were introduced, confirming the initial relationship. CVATR emerged as a particularly effective metric in the Brazilian context due to its complex tax structure.
Originality/Relevance: This study is pioneering in exploring the nexus between tax aggressiveness and corporate financialization in Brazil, contributing valuable insights for local researchers, investors, policymakers, and financial analysts.
Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: Our research introduces innovative approaches for measuring financial assets tailored to Brazil's unique market conditions. It also enriches the current body of literature by confirming CVATR as an effective metric for capturing tax aggressiveness in Brazil.

Vutrisiran (Amvuttra)
Authors: CADTH  
Published: February 2024

CADTH recommends that Amvuttra be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy in adult patients with hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis if certain conditions are met.
Amvuttra should only be covered to treat adults with stage 1 or stage 2 genetically confirmed hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN) who are symptomatic with early-stage neuropathy, do not have severe heart failure symptoms, and have not had a liver transplant. A patient’s response to treatment with Amvuttra should be assessed at least every 6 months to determine whether they would benefit from continued treatment. Treatment with Amvuttra should not be continued in patients who are permanently bedridden and dependent on assistance for basic activities of daily living or who are receiving end-of-life care.
Amvuttra should only be reimbursed if the patient is under the care of a specialist with experience in the diagnosis and management of hATTR-PN and should not be reimbursed if it is used in combination with interfering ribonucleic acid drugs or transthyretin stabilizers. The cost of Amvuttra should be reduced so that it does not cost more than other drugs for hATTR amyloidosis.

A comunicação buco-sinusal ou oroantral é uma complicação que pode ocorrer em decorrência de um trauma cirúrgico, mais comum em exodontias onde o dente apresenta íntima relação com os seios maxilares. Este estudo objetiva realizar a descrição em detalhes de um caso clínico de comunicação buco-sinusal em um homem de 66 anos que procurou o serviço com queixa de dor e mau cheiro na boca. A primeira intervenção, onde utilizou-se somente do retalho vestibular, não teve sucesso apresentando um episódio de recidiva. A segunda intervenção lançou mão do retalho vestibular associado ao corpo adiposo da bochecha e não apresenta sinais de recidiva. Essas condições devem ser tratadas de imediato pelo risco de evoluir para condições crônicas de sinusite. As principais técnicas, seja pela transposição do retalho vestibular ou com a utilização da gordura de bichat, é de fácil obtenção e manipulação, não necessita de material especializado podendo assim ser realizada ambulatório odontológico.

RESUMO: Introdução: Estrabismo é a perda do paralelismo ocular, com o desalinhamento dos eixos visuais. No contexto brasileiro, a estimativa da prevalência do estrabismo na população pediátrica assume importância significativa para a saúde ocular infantil. Estudos epidemiológicos têm se dedicado a quantificar essa condição, considerando variáveis como idade, gênero e características étnicas. As pesquisas indicam que a prevalência do estrabismo entre crianças no Brasil é de 2 a 3% e pode variar regionalmente, destacando a necessidade de abordagens específicas em diferentes áreas geográficas. Além disso, fatores socioeconômicos e de acesso à saúde desempenham um papel crucial na detecção e tratamento adequados do estrabismo em crianças. Objetivo: Analisar e descrever a epidemiologia dos casos de estrabismo relativos às internações hospitalares ocorridas no período de janeiro de 2013 a julho de 2023, no Brasil. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico observacional transversal descritivo, cujos dados foram obtidos a partir de informações disponibilizadas pelo banco de dados do Departamento de Informática do SUS. Análise dos resultados e discussão: No Brasil, observou-se o total de 19.203 internações hospitalares relacionadas ao CID H50.9 (estrabismo não especificado), na faixa etária de 0 a 14 anos, entre 2013 e 2023. Na faixa etária de menores de 1 ano a 14 anos, houve predomínio da faixa etária entre 5 a 9 anos, com o total de 8.997 (46,85%). O valor total gasto com as hospitalizações, durante o período em análise, foi de R$ 20.311.861,42, com o valor médio por Autorização de Internação Hospitalar de R$ 1.057,74. Considerações finais: Os achados, alinhados a estudos anteriores e internacionais, destacaram a predominância da exotropia, reforçando a necessidade de intervenções precoces. As análises econômicas apontaram um aumento nos gastos médicos, especialmente em procedimentos cirúrgicos, sugerindo a demanda por estratégias de gestão eficazes.

Objective. Tracheostomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in seriously ill patients in the intensive care unit and in intensive care units who require long-term mechanical ventilation. Protecting the larynx and upper airway from the complications of prolonged intubation is an important reason for tracheostomy and airway management. Early tracheostomy can reduce the dosage of sedatives used, contributes to a gradual decrease in artificial ventilation support. However, with the development of minimally invasive techniques for performing tracheostomy, the medical community raises the question of the need to choose the optimal surgical method. First, it depends on the timing of its application, the tracheostomy, the duration of the transition to independent breathing, and the behavior of patients after the procedure. The use of dilation tracheostomy can improve the aesthetic outcome of patients.Purpose of a study: Comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of performing tracheostomy using traditional and modified technology at different times of mechanical ventilation in seriously ill surgical and therapeutic patients in the intensive care unit.Material and methods. The study was based on an analysis of the results of treatment of 331 patients (212 men (64 %) and 119 women (36 %)) aged from 18 to 92 years old (average age (55,7 ± 5,2) years), who were in the intensive care unit of the Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1 named after Professor S.V. Ochapovsky (Krasnodar) for 2020–2022, in which a tracheostomy was performed to prevent cicatricial complications. The patients were divided into 2 groups. The first group included 219 patients from the intensive care unit who underwent tracheostomy using traditional technology, and the second group (112 patients) included patients who underwent tracheostomy using a modified technology.Results. A new modified technology for performing tracheostomy in seriously ill surgical and therapeutic patients in the intensive care unit has been improved and developed. Objectively substantiated and noted the advantages and disadvantages of the modified tracheostomy technology from the hemodynamic, gas transport positions, possible complications and long-term results.Conclusion. The use of a new modified technology of tracheostomy imposition allows preventively protecting patients from the development of complications in the form of profuse bleeding in comorbid coagulopathy and against the background of the use of therapeutic dosages of anticoagulation therapy, reducing the risk of decanulation, improving functional and cosmetic results of treatment due to less skin trauma.

Research on synthesis copper nanoparticles has been carried out by the bioreduction method with a green synthesis approach using extracts of gambir leaves (Uncaria gambir Roxb). Gambir leaf extract contains polyphenol compounds uses as a natural reducing agent to reduce copper cation from variations of prekursor (CuSO45.H2O, Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and CuCl2.2H2O). The formation of copper nanoparticles (CuNP) colloid is visually shown by color change from light brown to dark brown. Absorption peak in UV-Vis spectrophotometer analysis at 405 -427 nm which is a specific wavelength of copper nanoparticles base on phenomenon of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed formation of CuNP with a face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure. The result of Transmission Electron Microscope show the synthesized CuNP was spherical with particle size diameter 15nm for CuSO4 prekursor, 25 nm for Cu(NO3) prekursor and 28 nm for CuCl2 prekursor. The size of nanoparticles influenced of type prekursor anions. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was also tested using pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that copper nanoparticles were promising antibacterial agents. Antibacterial activity test on copper nanoparticles were found to have higher antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria S. aureus than Gram negatif E. coli.
