Published: September 2022

A Vasculite associada à imunoglobulina A (VIgA), também conhecida como púrpura de Henoch-Schonlein, púrpura anafilactóide ou púrpura reumática é uma vasculite de pequenos vasos associada a deposição de imunocomplexos IgA,de etiologia ainda desconhecida e que acomete principalmente crianças. Em grande parte dos casos pediátricos, é uma doença autolimitada com manifestações cutâneas, articulares, gastrintestinais e renais. O diagnóstico diferencial inclui outras vasculites, como lúpus eritematoso sistêmico, meningococcemia, coagulação intravascular disseminada e síndrome hemolítica urêmica. Neste artigo abordam-se os principais aspectos da VIgA nas crianças, salientando-se a importância do diagnóstico diferencial precoce. É apresentado o caso clínico de uma paciente do sexo feminino de 5 anos com lesões purpúricas tratada numa primeira abordagem como infecção bacteriana grave. Após reavaliação médica houve alteração terapêutica com uso de glicocorticóides resultando em melhora expressiva dos sintomas.

Background
It has been suggested that selection of a first‐line endovascular thrombectomy device, that is, contact aspiration (CA) or stent retriever (SR) thrombectomy, could be based on thrombus type. Thrombus composition and mechanical behavior can partially be predicted with thrombus computed tomography (CT) characteristics. We aimed to assess the influence of thrombus CT characteristics on the association between first‐line device and outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy.

Methods
For patients enrolled in the MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in The Netherlands) Registry between March 2014 and November 2017, we assessed thrombus density, thrombus length, and presence of hyperdense artery sign on thin‐slice (≤2.5 mm) admission CT. We used regression models to estimate the relationship between first‐line endovascular thrombectomy device (CA versus stent retriever) and first‐pass reperfusion (FPR, expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2C‐3 after first attempt), final reperfusion, procedure duration, 24‐hour National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and 90‐day modified Rankin scale score and tested for interaction of thrombus characteristics with first‐line device by adding interaction terms.

Results

Of 703 included patients, 520 (74%) received first‐line stent retriever and 183 (26%) first‐line CA. Overall, the first‐line device was not associated with FPR (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.32 [95% CI, 0.88–1.98]). In patients with thrombus density below the median (<50 Hounsfield units), FPR was more often achieved with CA than with a stent retriever (34% versus 24%, aOR, 1.95 [95% CI, 1.09–3.50]), whereas in patients with thrombus density above the median (≥50 Hounsfield units), first‐line device was not associated with FPR (aOR, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.50–1.62]). The interaction between thrombus density as a continuous variable and first‐line device on outcome was not significant (
P
=0.38). There was also no interaction between first‐line device and the other thrombus characteristics for FPR or the other outcomes.

Conclusion
Our study does not provide evidence that the association between first‐line thrombectomy device and endovascular thrombectomy outcomes depends on thrombus CT characteristics. Based on our results, there are no arguments for thrombectomy device selection based on thrombus CT characteristics. A possible better performance of CA in low‐density, fibrin‐rich clots needs further study.
Negotiating Post-Colonial Legacies: Conflicting Justice Notions in the Belgian Case
Authors: Rosoux Valérie 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Do parties handle conflicting justice notions when they negotiate about the legacy of a colonial past? This question is at the core of an increasing number of judicial and non-judicial processes around the world. In settler-colonial societies, this debate is far from new. The objective of this article is neither to consider the general debate about reparations nor to study theoretically how communities can digest “a past that is hard to swallow.” It is to detect the conflicting justice notions mobilized in the negotiation process when seeking to come to an agreement or other kind of conclusion to the process. Do the parties explicitly refer to these conflicting justice notions or do they avoid them? To address this question, the article focuses on one in-depth empirical case study, namely the Belgian case.
Conflicting Justice Notions in the World Trade Organization: Sweden as a Broker
Authors: Ahnlid Anders 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article focuses on how Sweden, as a member of the European Union, has acted as a broker between the conflicting justice notions of developing and developed wto members. Drawing on the author’s experiences as a participating Swedish trade negotiator, the article concentrates on selected Swedish actions and measures taken between the inception of the wto in 1995 and 2008, when the latest, and probably also last, full attempt to move the Doha round to a close ended in failure. Have the measures taken contributed to a reduction of the conflicting justice notions, and if so, how has this impacted on the process and the outcome? In addition, the article examines the question of how the pursuit of justice, and the management of conflicting justice notions, can aid practitioners to set up more efficient negotiation processes which lead to higher quality and more durable outcomes.
Online Parliaments?
Authors: Díaz Crego María 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic forced many parliaments to ensure business continuity through the digitalisation of its activities. That was the case of the European Parliament, which held its first plenary session with remote electronic participation on 26 March 2020 and continued to work remotely until March 2022. During those two years, Parliament’s Rules of Procedure were changed, new videoconferencing tools and remote voting solutions were developed and parliamentary procedures were adapted to the new working methods. The digitalisation of parliamentary proceedings allowed the European Parliament to continue working during the crisis and can be praised for that. However, remote electronic participation is often criticised for its impact on parliamentary procedures and the way parliaments exercise their core functions. This paper proposes to look into the European Parliament’s experience during the pandemic in order to better assess the positive aspects and drawbacks of introducing remote working methods in legislatures.
Banking on meps? The Strategic and Partisan Motivations for the Parliamentary Scrutiny of the European Central Bank
Authors: Navarro Julien , Kelbel Camille 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
At a time when legislative powers are being undermined by strengthened executives, oversight has become a core function of parliaments throughout the democratic world. In the European Parliament (ep), whose legislative role has been enhanced throughout the integration process, a significant proportion of the activities of its members is devoted to their broad ‘functions of political control’ on the EU’s executive institutions (art. 14 teu). The ways in which Members of the European Parliament (meps) exercise these functions and how the EU political system is impacted in turn remains, however, an under-researched topic. Focusing specifically on parliamentary questions, this article investigates the day-to-day interactions between the ep and one major EU institution, namely the European Central Bank (ecb). It seeks to establish what motivates meps questions concerning monetary and financial policies. Relying on a new dataset, we find evidence that meps’ questions to the ecb are subject to both strategic and partisan considerations.
New families and subfamilies of amphipod crustaceans
Authors: LOWRY J. K. 
Published: September 2022

Cleonardopsis K.H. Barnard, 1916, has been incorrectly placed in the Eusiridae. Based on mouthpart morphology, body carination and the shape of the gnathopods it is reassigned to the Amathillopsidae in the new subfamily Cleonardopsinae. Cleonardopsinae is cosmopolitan in the deep sea. Parepimeria Chevreux, 1911, has been incorrectly placed in the Epimeriidae. Coleman & Barnard (1991) suggested that it be moved to the Pleustidae. Bousfield & Hendrycks (1994) rejected this suggestion. It is excluded from the Pleustidae because of the progressively larger and ventrally acute coxae 1 to 4, simple first and second gnathopods and carinate urosomites. Parepimeria appears to be a sister taxon of Amathillopsis Heller, 1875, and forms the basis of a new monotypic subfamily, Parepimeriinae, within the Amathillopsidae. Parepimeriinae appears to be a Southern Ocean endemic. Miramarassa Ortiz, Lalana & Lio (1999) was originally placed in the Aristiidae mainly because it has an elongate ischium on gnathopod 2. It is excluded from the aristiids and the lysianassoids, because of the slender antenna 1 which is characteristically non-lysianassoid, the mandibular incisor which is curved and serrate and the lacinia mobilis which occurs on both mandibles. A monotypic family, Miramarassidae, is established which may have affinities with iphimedioid taxa. Miramarassidae is currently known only from Cuba. Regalia K.H. Barnard (1930) has generally been considered as a calliopiid amphipod, although some workers have discussed its similarity to the Pleustidae. A fresh evaluation of the genus has shown that characters not considered by earlier workers, such as a callynophore on antenna 1, brush setae on antenna 2 and a straight, minutely serrate incisor on the mandible, indicate that Regalia cannot be a calliopiid or a pleustid. Regalia appears to be most similar to members of the Pardaliscidae, but a number of characters such as the lack of an accessory flagellum, the presence of a left and right lacinia mobilis, a well developed molar and lateral ridging on the pleosome exclude it from this family. Consequently Regaliidae is established as a new monotypic family for Regalia, with an Indo-West Pacific distribution. Sancho Stebbing, 1897, has most recently been placed in the Eusiridae (sensu lato), but might be more suited to the Calliopiidae (sensu stricto) because of its entire telson. Unlike eusirids or calliopiids, species of Sancho have a non-recessed head and a dorsoventrally flattened urosome. Sanchoidae is established as a new monotypic family for Sancho, currently known from shallow water in south-eastern Australia.
Evaluation of the Bias in the Use of Clear-Sky Compared with All-Sky Observations of Monthly and Annual Daytime Land Surface Temperature
Authors: Gallo Kevin , Krishnan Praveena 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Satellite-derived observations of land surface temperature (LST) are being utilized in a growing number of land surface studies; however, these observations are generally obtained from optical sensors that exclude cloudy observations of the land surface. The impact of using only clear-sky observations of land surfaces on monthly and annual estimates of daytime LST over two U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) sites was evaluated over five years with daily in situ LST observations available for all-sky (clear and cloudy) conditions. The in situ LST observations were obtained for the nominal daytime observations associated with the MODIS sensors on board the Terra and Aqua satellites and were identified as all-sky or clear-sky conditions by utilizing cloud information provided with the MODIS LST product. Both monthly/annual mean and monthly/annual maximum values of daytime LST were significantly different when only clear-sky values were utilized, in comparison with all-sky values. Monthly averaged differences between the mean clear- and all-sky daytime LST (dLST) values ranged from −0.1° ± 1.5°C for January to 5.6° ± 1.8°C for May. Annually averaged dLST values, over the five years of the study, were 2.58°C, and differences between the maximum values of clear- and all-sky daytime LST values were −1.03°C. Although significant differences between mean annual clear-sky and all-sky daytime LST values were more frequent than differences observed for the annual maximum daytime LST values, the results suggest that the exclusive use of either mean or maximum clear-sky daytime LST values is not advisable for applications in which the use of daytime all-sky LST values would be more applicable.
Theoretical analysis and operation optimization of eddy current flaw detector sensor interface
Authors: Bilik Y , Haridim M 
Published: September 2022

The use of input devices of resonance-type in flaw detectors is advisable at frequencies above 100–200 kHz. However, in the practice of non-destructive testing by eddy currents, it is often necessary to use lower frequencies. In this case, one should connect the eddy current probes to devices with a non-resonant interface such as a bridge circuit. The functioning of bridge circuits used in eddy current sensors is significantly different from its functioning when used for components measurement because eddy current sensors operate under linear parametric modulation. In this case, it is advisable to perform the measurements by the self-comparison method, when a pair of closely located identical probes are placed in adjacent arms of the bridge. In this article, we first provide a detailed mathematical analysis of the operation of such a bridge circuit used as a flaw detector interface device. We use impedances of arbitrary finite values as disturbances. It is shown that despite the non-resonant character of the bridge circuit, it exhibits good selectivity for different loading (insertion) impedances. The isolines of the output signal and the probe’s complex impedance diagram (hodograph) in balanced and imbalanced bridge circuits are jointly built. In this way, it is possible, for the first time, to construct hodographs in the complex plane for both selective signal suppression, and maximum sensitivity. Although this method is already used in series flaw detectors designed for aircrafts testing, the theory behind this method is presented here for the first time.

Published: September 2022

Background: Depression is a major social concern in Japan. It is therefore necessary to develop a scale in Japanese that can assess depression literacy. Aims: The present study aimed to develop the Japanese version of the Depression Literacy Scale (D-Lit-J), and examined its validity and reliability. Methods: Three groups were administered the D-Lit-J, including 117 first-year university English literature students, 112 first-year medical school students, and 53 psychiatrists. Among these, 112 (95.7%), 112 (100%), and 29 subjects (54.7%) returned completed questionnaires, respectively. The total D-Lit-J scores were compared between the three groups to assess known-group validity, and internal reliability was examined by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Medical students were asked to complete the questionnaire a second time, 3 weeks later (11 students did not respond), to assess the test–retest reliability using the intra-class correlation coefficient. Results: The total D-Lit-J scores (mean ±  SD) were 7.61 ± 4.18, 9.51 ± 4.37, and 17.7 ± 3.15, for English literature students, medical students, and psychiatrists, respectively, and there were significant differences between the three groups ( p < .05). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranged from .800 to .834 in all students, and was .764 in psychiatrists, revealing a good internal consistency. The intra-class correlation coefficient of the scale was .769. Conclusions: The D-Lit-J showed a credible known-group validity, with good internal and test–retest reliabilities. Additional studies with a greater variety of subjects and that examine concurrent or discriminant validity will be necessary in the future.

Published: September 2022

BackgroundAlthough there is a trend toward direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), still balloon predilatation is necessary in some cases, especially in patients with severe calcification. However, predilatation including rapid ventricular pacing may have adverse outcomes, especially in patients with reduced ejection factor (EF).ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of predilatation on in-hospital outcomes in patients with reduced versus preserved EF underwent TAVI.MethodsThis was a prospective observational study including 110 patients (72 patients with preserved EF (≥50%) and 38 patients with reduced EF (<50%)) who underwent TAVI. The two groups were compared regarding in-hospital outcomes.ResultsPredilatation was done routinely in all 110 patients. The mean age was significantly higher in patients with preserved EF (82.76  ±  5.74 vs. 80.13  ±  6.51 years; p = 0.03). The majority (51.4%) of patients with preserved EF were females but the majority (73.7%) of those with reduced EF were males ( P < 0.001). Predilatation showed no statistical difference regarding in-hospital mortality (2.6% vs. 1.4%; p  =  0.29), hemodynamic instability (5.3% vs. 0.0%; p = 0.11), stroke (0% vs. 1.4%; p = 0.67), conduction defects (13.2% vs. 19.4%; p = 0.29), permanent pacemaker implantation (7.9% vs. 5.5%; p = 0.45), paravalvular leakage (5.3% vs. 2.8%; p = 0.42), vascular complications (7.9% vs. 11.1%; p  =  0.43), and acute kidney injury (7.9% vs. 7%; p  =  0.4) in patients with reduced versus preserved EF, respectively.ConclusionWhen balloon predilatation is inevitable during TAVI it is safe in patients with reduced as well as preserved EF with no added risk of hemodynamic instability or other outcomes.

Published: September 2022

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is characterized by chondrolabral damage and hip pain. The specific biomechanics used by people with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome during daily activities may exacerbate their symptoms. Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome can be treated nonoperatively or surgically; however, differential treatment effects on walking biomechanics have not been examined. Purpose: To compare the 12-month effects of physical therapist–led care or arthroscopy on trunk, pelvis, and hip kinematics as well as hip moments during walking. Study Design: Secondary analysis of multi-centre, pragmatic, two-arm superiority randomized controlled trial subsample; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: A subsample of 43 participants from the Australian Full randomised controlled trial of Arthroscopic Surgery for Hip Impingement versus best cONventional (FASHIoN trial) underwent gait analysis and completed the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) at both baseline and 12 months after random allocation to physical therapist–led care (personalized hip therapy; n = 22; mean age 35; 41% female) or arthroscopy (n = 21; mean age 36; 48% female). Changes in trunk, pelvis, and hip biomechanics were compared between treatment groups across the gait cycle using statistical parametric mapping. Associations between changes in iHOT-33 and changes in hip kinematics across 3 planes of motion were examined. Results: As compared with the arthroscopy group, the personalized hip therapy group increased its peak hip adduction moments (mean difference = 0.35 N·m/body weight·height [%] [95% CI, 0.05-0.65]; effect size = 0.72; P = .02). Hip adduction moments in the arthroscopy group were unchanged in response to treatment. No other between-group differences were detected. Improvements in iHOT-33 were not associated with changes in hip kinematics. Conclusion: Peak hip adduction moments were increased in the personalized hip therapy group and unchanged in the arthroscopy group. No biomechanical changes favoring arthroscopy were detected, suggesting that personalized hip therapy elicits greater changes in hip moments during walking at 12-month follow-up. Twelve-month changes in hip-related quality of life were not associated with changes in hip kinematics.
