Published: November 2022

IntroductionPregnancy in patients with autoimmune disorders is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is one of the most common among autoimmune diseases. Presently data regarding the impact of SS on obstetric outcomes are scarce and inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the impact of SS on maternal-fetal and neonatal outcomes compared with pregnancy outcomes in the general population.Material and methodsA retrospective case-control study included 26 pregnancies in SS patients and a healthy control group (CG), followed in a Portuguese tertiary center, between 2015 and 2020. Baseline maternal data were collected, and maternal-fetal and neonatal outcomes were evaluated. Statistical analysis used SPSS 25.0, and a p-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsAll pregnancies occurred after the diagnosis of SS, with a mean exposure time between diagnosis and pregnancy of 4.92 ±2.78 years. In the SS group, the incidence of ANA, anti-Ro/SSA, and anti-La/SSB antibodies positivity was 80.8%, 61.5%, and 46.2%, respectively. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was used in 57.7%.
Miscarriage was significantly higher in the SS group (19.2% vs. 1.8%, p < 0.01). There was a higher prevalence of fetal growth restriction (OR 11.16, 95% CI: 0.96–129.26). Preterm delivery (9.5% vs. 5.6%, p = 0.503) and mean birth weight (2998.16 g vs. 3155.79 g, p = 0.178) did not differ significantly between the groups. In the SS group, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rate was increased (OR 71.67, 95% CI: 3.78–1357.16). Three pregnancies were complicated by congenital heart block (CHB) (14.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.015). In all cases, the diagnosis was performed during second trimester of pregnancy, and betamethasone was administered.ConclusionsWomen with SS had a significantly higher incidence of miscarriage, admission to NICU, and CHB than controls. Congenital heart block was the most critical condition that affects the offspring of mothers with SS. Successful pregnancy in the study group was possible with prenatal monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract. The use of fenugreek seed as a galactagogue has been investigated in ruminants. However, only a few studies have analyzed the effects of fenugreek seed on the milk fatty acid composition. To the authors' best knowledge, none of these studies have investigated the effects of fenugreek seed on milk volatile compounds. The objective of this study, which lasted 8 weeks, was to determine the effects of fenugreek seed supplementation on the performance, milk fatty acid profile, and milk volatile profile of goats. A total of 20 Turkish Saanen dairy goats that were mid-lactation were used in the study. This study was carried out with two homogeneous groups: the control group (CON) and fenugreek group (FG). Both groups were fed a total mixed ration (TMR), but the FG treatment had their diet supplemented with 0.1 kg d−1 of fenugreek seed per animal. The feed intake, live weight, milk yield, milk chemical composition, serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentration, milk fatty acid profile, and milk volatile compound profile were determined. The feed intake, live weight gain, and milk yield of the goats did not significantly differ between the CON and FG treatments (P>0.05), whereas the milk fat concentration increased (P=0.05) and the serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations decreased (P<0.05) in the FG treatment. The unsaturated fatty acid concentration in milk (P<0.05) was also enhanced in the FG treatment. In addition, the FG treatment increased 2-propanone, 2-butanone, benzene, 1-methyl-3-(1-methylethyl), and eucalyptol concentrations in milk (P<0.05). In conclusion, the supplementation of goats' diets with fenugreek seed during the mid-lactation period did not affect their performance and improved the unsaturated fatty acid profile of their milk. Of particular importance, we have also detected an increase in the 2-propanone concentration in milk following fenugreek supplementation.

Introdução: As queimaduras representa uma das mais complexas e severas forma de trauma e estima-se que ocorram, anualmente, cerca de 1 milhão de acidentes. A eletricidade é um agente etiológico para queimaduras e corresponde de 3% a 4% das admissões hospitalares. A energia elétrica ao passar pelos tecidos é convertida em energia térmica (Efeito Joule) principal mecanismo da lesão. Objetivo: Relatar o caso clínico de um paciente vítima de choque elétrico tratado com laserterapia de baixa intensidade em face para cicatrização das queimaduras. Relato de caso: Trata-se de um paciente sexo masculino, 38 anos, admitido no Instituto Dr. José Frota vítima de choque elétrico e queimaduras de 2° e 3° grau em face, membros superiores e membros inferiores. A face apresentava áreas eritematosas nos terços superior, médio e inferior com indicação de laserterapia para estímulo de cicatrização, seguindo o protocolo de potência de 100mw, comprimento de onda vermelho e fluência de 1 Joule por ponto, com aplicações diárias. Foram realizadas 8 sessões de laserterapia e o paciente evoluiu com cicatrização satisfatória. Conclusão: O tratamento dos pacientes queimados é complexo e deve ser multidisciplinar. A laserterapia auxilia no tratamento dos pacientes com queimaduras em face, proporcionando a reparação tecidual de forma mais rápida através da fotobiomodulação de vários tipos celulares envolvidos no processo de cicatrização, colaborando assim na diminuição das complicações inerentes de uma hospitalização prolongada, bem como o comprometimento estético e funcional dopaciente.

Published: November 2022

A Rizogênese incompleta é uma condição na qual o ápice dentário se encontra parcialmente formado. O dente pode sofrer necrose pulpar, ou até mesmo a paralisação do processo de formação radicular. A apicificação é um procedimento realizado para induzir a formação de uma barreira física de tecido mineralizado, possibilitando, então, a obturação dos canais radiculares. Objetiva-se realizar uma revisão de literatura, acerca da eficácia do plug apical com MTA no processo de apicificação em dentes que apresentam rizogênese incompleta. Realizou-se uma pesquisa por meio dos descritores "Apexification" and “MTA”and “Tooth Apex” no banco de dados PubMed e BVS. Foram encontrados 67 artigos na língua inglesa e portuguesa. Como critério de inclusão, foram selecionados artigos dos últimos 10 anos, considerando revisões sistemáticas, relato de casos e ensaios clínicos. Foram excluídos da pesquisa as revisões de literatura e artigos na qual não havia relação com o tema, além de estudos experimentais em animais. Por fim, 6 artigos foram selecionados. O Agregado Trióxido Mineral (MTA) tem sido utilizado como abordagem terapêutica através de um plug apical em dentes com ápices abertos, devido à sua excelente biocompatibilidade, boacapacidade de selamento e adaptação marginal, promovendo a regeneração do tecido apical e a obturação de dentes imaturos. Conclui-se que o MTA pode ser utilizado como barreira apical em dentes com rizogênese incompleta, fazendo-se necessária a proservação e acompanhamento do reparo biológico, com o intuito de possibilitar o sucesso do tratamento.

“Poe, Twain, and Limburger Cheese” Revisited
Authors: Eddings Dennis W. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article is in response to Steven E. Kemper’s “Poe, Twain, and Limburger Cheese,” which argues that Mark Twain’s “The Invalid’s Story” spoofs Poe’s “A Descent into the Maelström” by parodying its style and technique. After suggesting that Kemper’s argument has a few problems, this article posits that it is rather Poe’s “The Oblong Box” and “The Purloined Letter” that Mark Twain uses to spoof Poe by citing definite connections between the works. The article then concludes that “Descent” does have a connection with “The Invalid’s Story” in that both are tall tales.
An image processing approach for enumeration of leukemia infected cells for diagnosis
Authors: Sailaja M. , Sreenivasulu G. 
Published: November 2022

Image processing techniques are helped to improve the diagnosis of various diseases using medical images. Leukemia, a blood cancer, is one of the commonest malignancies affecting both adults and children. As per the reports, leukemia was the fifth and sixth cause of death in men (7%) and women (5.8%) with cancer, and it was the first cause of death in children with cancer between 1–4 and 5–14 years old, with 48.5% and 52.2% of deceases, respectively. Hematologists microscopically examine the blood under a light microscope for diagnosis. This process is very tedious, time-consuming, and not suitable for analyzing a large number of cells. The enumeration of infected cells for the diagnosis of leukemia will assist to overcome these drawbacks. Enumeration of blood cells plays a very important role in the health sector. In this paper, we have proposed the enumeration of leukemia-infected cell parasites in microscopic blood images. The infected parasites are detected by the proposed threshold method by maximizing the between-class variance and entropy of black and white pixels. The enumeration is carried out by connected component labeling technique from binary decision image obtained in maximizing entropy.
Effects of a Cognitive Schema Account on the Stigma of Schizophrenia: A Study in a French University Student Sample

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Among people with psychiatric disorders, those with schizophrenia are subject to high levels of stigmatization. Research is necessary to identify new strategies that may help reduce the stigma of schizophrenia. Educational strategies using cognitive accounts, particularly early maladaptive schemas (EMSs), have shown promising results in the context of depression, but they have not been evaluated in the context of schizophrenia. The present study compared the effect on the stigma of three different educational strategies, based on cognitive distortions, biogenetics, and EMSs. A total of 378 students were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups. Three experimental groups were presented with a vignette that introduced 1 of 3 different etiological accounts of schizophrenia (cognitive distortions, EMSs, or biogenetics). The fourth group was presented with a text unrelated to schizophrenia. The participants completed questionnaires that measured their attitudes, empathic concern, and social distance toward people with schizophrenia, before and after reading the text. The intervention using the EMS etiology account for schizophrenia was the only one that led to a significant decrease in stigma. The latter effect was driven mainly by an increase in the level of empathic concern toward people with schizophrenia. Given that similar results have been observed for depression and that the role of EMSs in many psychiatric disorders has been demonstrated, studying the effects of EMS explanations for other stigmatized disorders may be promising for reducing the stigma of psychiatric disorders.

Authors: Samaddar Corrado Sunanda 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Hamtramck, known for its Polish, Catholic, working-class roots, has transmuted its Old World charm into a Small World appeal. With less than 7 percent of residents claiming Polish roots, how does the city's Polish history continue to provide an uninterrupted space for ethnic political participation? Hamtramck has become a port for more detailed explorations of the relationship between local governance and cultural self-determination and interrogations of the role of race, nationalism, citizenship, and belonging. This article explores the ascension of Bangladeshi visibility in a city experiencing tumultuous flux in population and culture. This article describes the Bangladeshi experience between the election of the first Polish female mayor in 2005 and the election of Hamtramck's first Muslim mayor in 2022 in terms of Bangladeshis’ political participation and how their contributions led to a renarrativization of the city.

FRAGMENTO.
Corre el año 2004, en los bellísimos paisajes del Guaviare me encuentro en un entrenamiento dirigido a los enfermeros de combate o “Battlefield Lifesavers”, en conjunto con el Comando Sur de los Estados Unidos, fue entonces cuando la conocí. Uno de los sargentos americanos desplegó algo similar a una antena satelital y nos entregó una especie de minicomputador (en ese momento no existía el concepto de tablet). Fueron tres en realidad, uno me lo dio a mí, otro al sargento jefe de mis enfermeros de combate y el otro se quedó con él. Solo 3 años después Steve Jobs entregaría al mundo su Iphone con la primera pantalla táctil, en este caso teníamos teclado. El sargento americano me pidió que ingresara unos datos (en inglés, infortunadamente para mis soldados) en un tipo de chat como el que recordaba de MSN para el momento.

Relating Trailing Vortex Cavitation Inception To Single Phase Flow Measurements
Authors: Green S. , Acosta A. 
Published: November 2022

The single phase and cavitating tip vortex shed by a NACA .66-209 rounded tip hydrofoil has been studied. Single phase measurements of instantaneous flow velocity were made by taking double pulsed holograms of microbubbles moving in and around the vortex core. The tailored air bubble technique of Ooi and Acosta (1983) was employed to measure both the mean and fluctuating single phase vortex core static pressure. Cavitation inception was determined visually.
The flow in the vortex core is highly unsteady. The r.m.s. axial velocity fluctuation can be as high as 0.2Uoo Core pressure fluctuations greater than the freestream dynamic pressure have been measured. These fluctuations are thought to accompany local axial velocity fluctuations. With saturated water, inception occurs at mean core pressures above the vapour pressure. However, the pressure fluctuations are certainly substantial enough to account for these elevated inception indices. The fluctuations also explain why inception occurs immediately downstream of the hydrofoil. The rapid establishment of fully developed trailing vortex cavitation when the cavitation number is reduced below inception is attributable to the small variation in mean core pressure with downstream distance. The inception index decreases dramatically with decreasing dissolved air content. The cause of this decrease is not known.

Authors: Aboulazm A. 
Published: November 2022

A new Fisheries Flume Tank was built and commissioned in March 1988 at the campus of the Marine Institute in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. The tank is designed primarily for fisheries research and training, however, other applications can be accommodated. The tank is one of the largest circulating water tanks in the world.
This paper presents a detailed description of the Flume Tank Facility at the Marine Institute, including a detailed technical description and specifications. Tank operating conditions and limitations are also presented.
Although the Flume Tank's main function is to support fisheries research and education, many other applications in the field of fluid mechanics model testing, can make good use of the tank.
It is clear from the material presented in this paper that the new Marine Institute Flume Tank is a very useful research facility in many fisheries and non-fisheries areas, particularly, vessel and offshore structure flow applications.
