Some aspects of the craniometry of adult Nigerian indigenous pigs (Sus scrofa) and its application in regional anaesthesia
Authors: Okandeji M.E. , Olaniyi Z.B. 
Published: November 2023

Regional anatomy is an important component of surgical and clinical practice because it helps clinicians envisage the specifics of the structures relevant to the case at hand. This study was designed to evaluate some clinically important indices which could aid regional anesthesia of the head in the Nigerian indigenous pig (NIP). Twenty-four (10 males and 14 females) skulls of adult NIP were examined to record 10 parameters. Data obtained were statistically analysed using the Student’s t-test and Pearson Correlation, with significance set at p<0.05. The study revealed that 50% of the indices were higher in female skulls but were not statistically significant. The mandibular length was, however, significantly longer in male skulls (19.0 ± 0.41), compared to females (18.0 ± 0.26). The distance from the facial crest to the infraorbital foramen was 1.3 ± 0.10 cm and 1.5 ± 0.08 cm, while that from the supraorbital foramen to the nasal bone was 2.1 ± 0.06 cm and 1.9 ± 0.06 cm, in male and female skulls, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between the distance from the facial crest to infraorbital foramen and that from infraorbital foramen to medial canthus of the orbit (r=.669). An accessory supraorbital foramen was seen in 12 (50%) of all the 24 skulls, just as several lateral mental foramina were observed on the rostro-lateral surface of the mandibular rami. Data generated provide clinically important information on the skull of adult Nigerian indigenous pigs which can be used as landmarks for tracking and desensitizing the branches of the frontal nerve (supraorbital), the maxillary nerve (Infraorbital) and the mandibular nerve, during the regional anaesthesia of the head, for tooth extraction procedures and the treatment of injuries and fractures. These results may also be useful for comparative anatomical, developmental, forensic, and clinical studies.

Authors: Lawal U.N. , Bello M.B. 
Published: November 2023

The study evaluated the genetic profile of a low passaged BGM-70 adapted very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) isolated in Malaysia in the year 2004 based on the VP2 hypervariable region. Embryonated chicken eggs were first used to propagate UPM190 12 times before being low passaged in BGM-70 cell line 7 times yielding UMP190BGMP7 whose VP2 nucleotide and amino acid sequences were determined and compared with reference sequences after Sanger sequencing of the low passage virus. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of UPM190BGMP7 virus were similar with the sequences of viruses passaged in chicken embryonated eggs (CEE) but differed with higher BGM-70 passaged viruses. The E270 amino acid mutation associated with higher BGM-70 passaged viruses was absent in UPM190BGMP7. However, it has another amino acid mutation at position D279N that back-mutated on continuous BGM-70 cell propagation.

Published: November 2023

Esta comunicación presenta un conjunto de materiales escolares on-line para trabajar los procesos de despoblación en Aragón en Educación Secundaria. El objetivo es hacer frente a una carencia importante: los currículos de Geografía en esa etapa educativa no recogen estos procesos y sus consecuencias, o lo hacen de forma inadecuada, a pesar de la relevancia que están teniendo en la organización del territorio. Los materiales están elaborados en la plataforma de ArcGIS Online y, por lo tanto, están alojados en la nube a la que se puede acceder desde cualquier dispositivo con conexión a internet. Se presentan en un Hub agrupados en ocho bloques independientes. En definitiva, se trata de una propuesta no sólo de renovación curricular sino también metodológica en la que los alumnos sean los primeros implicados en la creación de conocimiento.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical characteristics and long-term outcome of the patients with bio-prosthetic mitral valve replacement at a tertiary care hospital of a South Asian country.
Methodology: The study is a retrospective observational observational study involving patients who underwent bio-prosthetic mitral valve replacement at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, between 2006 and 2020, and had at least two complete echocardiograms. Patients with incomplete clinical data, no electronic reports of echocardiograms, and mechanical mitral valve replacement were excluded.
Results: This is a retrospective observational study, conducted at a tertiary care hospital. We included a total of 502 patients who underwent bio-prosthetic mitral valve replacement from the year 2006 to 2020. Patients were divided into two groups based on normal functioning bio-prosthetic mitral valve and bio-prosthetic mitral valve dysfunction (BMVD). Out of 502 patients, 322 (64%) were female, mean age at the time of surgery was 49.42 ± 14.56 years. Mitral regurgitation was more common, found in 279 (55.6%) patients followed by mitral stenosis in 188 (37.5%) patients. Mitral valve replacement was done as an elective procedure due to NYHA II to IV symptoms at the time of surgery in 446 (88.8%) patients. In the mean follow-up of 6.59 + 2.99 years, bio-prosthetic mitral valve dysfunction (BMVD) was observed in 183 (36.5%) patients. However, re-do mitral valve surgery was done in only 49 (9.8%) patients. Comparing the two groups, individuals with normal functioning bio-prosthetic mitral valve had a mean age of 51.6 + 14.27 years, while those with BMVD had a mean age of 45.639 + 14.33 years at the time of index surgery (p value=0.000). There were more long-term complications including heart failure (n = 16, 8.74%), atrial fibrillation (n = 11, 6.01%) and death (n = 6, 3.28%) in BMVD group which were statistically significant.
Conclusion: This study is distinct because it demonstrates the outcomes of bio-prosthetic valve replacement in a relatively younger South Asian population. Due to rapid degeneration of bio-prosthetic valve in younger patients, a significant number of cases developed BMVD along with poor long-term clinical outcomes even at a short follow up period of less than ten years. These findings are like international data and signify that mechanical mitral valve replacement may be a more reasonable alternative in younger patients.

Published: November 2023

A síntese dos níveis de atividade física (NAF) na população jovem brasileira tem se tornado pauta de interesse entre estudiosos da área. Em crianças e adolescentes, níveis de atividade física relevantes contribuem para a melhoria do perfil lipídico e metabólico, bem como para a redução da prevalência de sobrepeso, somado a isso, é provável que crianças/ adolescentes fisicamente ativos se tornem adultos também ativos. Objetivo: verificar o estilo de vida e o nível de atividade física em adolescentes brasileiros. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo integrativa, realizadas nas bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Google acadêmico, Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) utilizando de forma isolada e/ou conjugada os seguintes descritores: Atividade física e adolescente, Exercício físico e adolescente, Estilo de vida e adolescente, Nível de atividade física e adolescentes. Resultados: De um total de 30 publicações encontradas, 09 artigos atenderam aos objetivos propostos. É fato que o nível de atividade física satisfatório em crianças e adolescentes está relacionado a maior qualidade de vida e prevenção de agravos à saúde. Considerações: Ainda são poucos os estudos que tratam do NAF em adolescentes brasileiros, sendo a maioria desses conduzidos em escolas públicas ou privadas. São diversos os fatores que interferem em um maior ou menor NAF em adolescentes no Brasil, como: a faixa etária, gênero, frequência escolar, tempo gasto com família, amigos e aparatos tecnológicos : principalmente televisão, computador e celulares e nível socioeconômico.
Functional Changes After Occupational Therapy Among Individuals With a Distal Radius Fracture: A Longitudinal Study
Authors: De-Rosende-Celeiro Iván , Fernández-Barreiro Jorge Juan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Importance: Identifying the outcomes of occupational therapy after a distal radius fracture (DRF) is important so that effective strategies can be developed to mitigate the consequences associated with this common fracture.
Objective: To determine whether participation in occupational therapy improved functional status. Secondary objectives were to assess its effects on body functions and to examine the association between changes in outcome measures and occupational therapy–related factors.
Design: Longitudinal, with consecutive sampling over a 12-mo period.
Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation service.
Participants: Participants were 38 adults with a unilateral DRF (ages 31–75 yr.; 81.6% female).
Intervention: Multicomponent occupational therapy, including supplemental techniques and activity-based interventions.
Outcomes and Measures: Functional status and body functions were assessed before and after therapy.
Results: All standardized measures of functional status showed significant improvements, which were large in size. Several body functions improved significantly (pain, sleep, wrist and forearm movements, and grip strength fraction), and effect sizes ranged from medium to large. For several outcome variables, earlier therapy was significantly associated with better results; moreover, the likelihood of achieving better outcomes was significantly higher among participants who attended more sessions.
Conclusions and Relevance: Occupational therapy services have an important role to play after a DRF in terms of returning to daily activities and reducing impairments in body functions. Earlier intervention and attending a higher number of occupational therapy sessions are likely to further improve these outcomes.
What This Article Adds: Because the effects of occupational therapy among people with a DRF remain uncertain, we quantified the outcomes of this intervention in an outpatient rehabilitation service, revealing medium to large improvements in the performance of daily activities and in various body functions. Our findings identified two factors associated with better results: early initiation of therapy and a higher number of occupational therapy sessions.
Os atributos da norma aplicados ao modelo de produção tradicional do Direito Internacional e o debate sobre a Soft Law
Authors: Guerra Amina Welten 
Published: November 2023

A soft law é constantemente excluída do debate acerca do sistema normativo internacional por carecer, dentro de uma ótica positivista clássica, dos atributos típicos da norma jurídica, como a juridicidade, a legalidade, a validade, a legitimidade e a obrigatoriedade.
O presente artigo busca propor uma reflexão mais ampla destes atributos a fim de indicar em que medida a soft law possa contê-los e seu estudo se justificar dentro do sistema normativo internacional.
A metodologia utilizada é a jurídico-dogmática possibilitando uma investigação de caráter descritivo e propositivo.
Verificar-se-á que é possível redimensionar na contemporaneidade o entendimento acerca destes atributos quando diante da categoria da soft law a fim de legitimar o seu estudo dentro da formação do direito internacional.
Este trabalho é original e se propõe como alternativa ao entendimento binário de que a soft law não é direito na medida em que questiona de modo crítico os atributos da norma jurídica.
