Published: May 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar a relação do crescimento no consumo de energia residencial e o índice de desenvolvimento humano brasileiro no período de 1970 a 2011. Os testes econométricos empregados na verificação da causalidade entre consumo de Energia residencial e IDH foi realizada através do modelo de vetores auto regressivo (VAR). Pode-se entender que o consumo residencial de energia teve um papel relevante no processo de desenvolvimento humano durante o período analisado, pois a energia possibilita a população maior acesso a bens e serviços. Pode-se entender que o consumo residencial de energia teve um papel relevante no processo de desenvolvimento humano durante o período analisado. Entre o período de 1999 a 2011 houve uma retração no consumo de energia residencial, apesar dessa retração ouve um aumento no índice de desenvolvimento referente ao mesmo período. Assim, os resultados demostrados pelo modelo econométrico utilizado, demonstram que as funções de impulso resposta no modelo evidenciam que o consumo de energia elétrica residencial exerce um impacto significativo no índice de desenvolvimento humano.

Published: May 2022

Background Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DCS) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. The purpose of this investigation was to describe our treatment and outcomes of 16 DCS patients at our institution and provide a review of the current literature. Methods This study was a retrospective review over a consecutive twenty-year period. Data including treatment details and outcomes were recorded. Results A total of 16 cases from 2000 to 2018 were identified. The median age (IQR) was 62 years (52; 69) and the majority of DCS arose in the femur (50%, n=8) and pelvis (25%, n=4). Fourteen (88%) cases underwent limb salvage/wide margin resection (n=13) or intralesional surgery (n=1). For all DCS, the median survival (IQR) was 46 months (12; 140), with both a five and ten-year probability of 32.1% (95% CI, 7.3% to 57.0%). At study conclusion, 81.3% (n=13) were deceased and 18.7% (n=3) were alive. Conclusions Our findings confirm the poor prognosis of DCS patients, with a five-year estimate of 32%. Together with existing literature, our data might help enable future strategic recommendation of these patients.
En Bloc Resection of Giant Cell Tumor following Neoadjuvant Denosumab: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Tepper Sarah C , Spellman Ari M , Gusho Charles A , Blank Alan T 
Published: May 2022

Introduction The RANK ligand inhibitor denosumab has been used to treat cases of unresectable giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) or preoperatively to facilitate intralesional curettage. However, there are no clear guidelines for use of denosumab prior to en bloc resection. Case Presentation In this study, a 26-year-old patient presented with atraumatic lateral knee pain. X-rays demonstrated a destructive lesion within the proximal fibula, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of GCTB. Management and Outcomes The patient received 3 months of neoadjuvant denosumab with complete resolution of his pain and cortical rim formation surrounding the tumor. The tumor was removed en bloc with negative margins. At 6-month follow-up, the patient had returned to his functional baseline with no evidence of tumor recurrence. Conclusion Neoadjuvant denosumab can mitigate symptoms related to GCTB and promotes cortical bone formation, facilitating en bloc resection and permitting acceptable functional outcomes in select cases.

Authors: Monestier Luca , Riva Giacomo , Coda Zabetta Lorenzo , Surace Michele F 
Published: May 2022

Background Unstable ankle fractures are very frequent. Given the instability, they often require surgical treatment, but literature scarcely reports on the outcomes of their management. Questions/purposes For this systematic review we asked: (1) What are the outcomes in treatment of unstable ankle fractures? (2) What about complications of treatment in unstable fractures? (3) What factors influence the outcomes? (4) What about the role of the posterior malleolus? Methods The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and Embase were interrogated using the search terms “bimalleolar” or “trimalleolar” and “fracture”. Studies were included if they reported on: (1) bimalleolar or trimalleolar fracture in adults; (2) treatment; (3) outcomes reported by scales; (4) follow-up. The final review included 33 studies. The quality of the studies was evaluated with the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS) questionnaire. Results All the outcomes of the thirty-three selected studies were analyzed. Discussion Surgical fixation of unstable ankle fractures should always be performed within the first 48 hours from the trauma, preventing instability and post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Surgeon should consider factor may influence functional outcomes. Posterior malleolar fractures should be fixed regardless the size, considering some individual factors.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Level 4 – Efficacious
Authors: Moss Donald , Shaffer Fredric , Watkins Matthew 
Published: May 2022

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychophysiological disorder characterized by chronic sympathetic nervous system activation, persisting perceptual/sensory vigilance for threats, and recurrent distressing memories of a traumatic event. Persons with PTSD frequently experience intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks lived as if in the present moment. Many also exhibit a persisting negative emotional state, including fear, anger, guilt, and shame (Badour et al., 2017; Moss, 2017). PTSD often produces significant disability, lowered quality of life, and functional impairment (Alonso et al., 2004).
The syndrome and symptoms of PTSD have been reported since the early 1800s and described under various diagnostic labels as exhaustion, irritable heart, Da Costa syndrome, and shell shock. Kardiner (1941) described the condition as a physioneurosis, a disorder that is both physiological and psychological. The psychophysiological basis of PTSD calls for psychophysiologically based interventions. Bessel van der Kolk has highlighted the problems in PTSD with affect regulation and called for mind–body interventions such as yoga and neurofeedback (NF) to enhance affective self-regulation (van der Kolk, 2014; van der Kolk et al., 2014, 2016).
The purpose of this article is to review the published research on applications of biofeedback (BFB) and NF treatment of PTSD. Much of the research on this topic is still exploratory; several studies were conducted to show the viability of specific protocols. Accordingly, the review will include pilot studies, quasi-experimental studies, and randomized controlled studies. There is an emerging body of research on whether BFB or NF training before combat deployment or before childbirth can prevent the development of PTSD (Hourani et al., 2016; Pyne et al., 2019; Schlesinger et al., 2020). This important research will not be reviewed here.

‘1 Question 10 Answers’
Authors: Bertolotti Elisa , Serbanescu Anca 
Published: May 2022

'1 Question 10 answers' is a didactic exercise, designed to investigate the notion of interpretation in communication design, and to reflect upon issues that arise in the creation of non-fiction narratives. In particular, this research analyses the relationship between the interviewer and the interviewee, as well as the poetic devices of collection, tabulation and repetition in storytelling.
The exercises discussed in this project were applied in various educational contexts: initially from 2017-2019 on the Typography module of the BA in Design at the Universidade da Madeira (Madeira, Portugal), and subsequently in February 2021 during an intensive workshop with MA Communication students in the School of Design at the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy).
The exercise consisted of posing a question to ten people and collecting their narrative responses, before exploring how these might be interpreted as texts and translated into artefacts. The results produced by the students at the Universidade da Madeira were small books, while the students at Politecnico di Milano invented communication systems within several different types of media.
This article discusses ‘the rules of the game’ applied during the exercises, describes the learning process, and analyses various works made by the students reflecting on delicate balance that exists between a work of interpretation and the processes of dialogue and active listening.

Published: May 2022

Introduction:
Cervical laminoplasty (LP) and laminectomy with fusion (LF) are common operations used to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Conflicting data exist regarding which operation provides superior patient outcomes while minimizing the risk of complications. This study evaluates the trends of LP compared with LF over the past decade in patients with cervical myelopathy and examines long-term revision rates and complications between the two procedures.

Methods:
Patients aged 18 years or older who underwent LP or LF for cervical myelopathy from 2010 to 2019 were identified in the PearlDiver Mariner Database. Patients were grouped independently (LP versus fusion) and assessed for association with common medical and surgical complications. The primary outcome was the incidence of LP versus LF for cervical myelopathy over time. Secondary outcomes were revision rates up to 5 years postoperatively and the development of complications attributable to either surgery.

Results:
In total, 1,420 patients underwent LP and 10,440 patients underwent LF. Rates of LP (10.5% to 13.7%) and LF (86.3% to 89.5%) remained stable, although the number of procedures nearly doubled from 865 in 2010 to 1,525 in 2019. On matched analysis, LP exhibited lower rates of wound complications, surgical site infections, spinal cord injury, dysphagia, cervical kyphosis, limb paralysis, incision and drainage/exploration, implant removal, respiratory failure, renal failure, and sepsis. Revision rates for both procedures at were not different at any time point.

Conclusion:
From 2010 to 2019, rates of LP have not increased and represent less than 15% of posterior-based myelopathy operations. Up to 5 years of follow-up, there were no differences in revision rates for LP compared with LF; however, LP was associated with fewer postoperative complications than LF.

Published: May 2022

Stress symptoms affect one’s body, thoughts and feelings. Stress may decrease an individual’s self-esteem, increasing anxiety and sadness, and adversely affecting the general quality of life (QoL) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Objective: To determine the effect of stress on quality of life in patients with chronic rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 196 participants at The University of Lahore Teaching Hospital. Stress in RA patients was measured using a perceived stress score (PSS). PSS scores were calculated by inverting replies to the four positively stated items (items 4, 5, 7, and 8) and then accumulating all scale items (e.g., 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1 & 4 = 0). The SF-36 questionnaire was used to measure QoL. The lower the score, the greater the degree of impairment; for example, a score of zero equals maximum disability and a score of 100 equals no disability. A non-probability convenient sampling strategy was used to compute sample size. Results: The results showed that the average value of age was 44.14± 6.842 years with a lowest value of 32.00 and a highest value of 58.00 years. Male had a frequency of 13 (6.6%) and patients with a frequency of 183 (93.4%). According to the results, the average value of physical health component scoring was 37.12± 9.96 and the average value of mental health component scoring was 44.00± 5.738. The results showed that the average value of perceived stress score was 25.32± 7.47. The significant value of 0.000 was smaller than the p-value in the study, indicating that there is a link between stress and quality of life. Conclusion: These findings led to the conclusion that stress had an impact on RA Patient's quality of life.
