Abstract
Background
Acute pericarditis causes acute inflammation of the pericardium. Although most cases of pericarditis are idiopathic with no identifiable cause, its etiology can be infectious, such as viral, bacterial, mycotic, and tuberculous infections, or non-infectious, including post-pericardiotomy, metastatic malignant tumor, connective tissue disease, or uremia. However, there has been no report of pericarditis caused by adenoviral infection in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Herein, we report a case of pericarditis and pericardial effusion caused by adenoviral infection in a patient undergoing PD.

Case presentation
A 59-year-old man who had been undergoing PD in our department for 3 years had a bout of acute enteritis. He was later admitted to the emergency department of our hospital because of malaise and loss of consciousness due to pericardial effusion. Testing after admission revealed elevated adenovirus antibody titers. Pericardial effusion improved although no changes in his PD prescription were made. The patient was hospitalized and admitted to maintain hemodynamics and prevent hypotension. Since insufficient dialysis volume was ruled out by peritoneal equilibrium tests and dialysis volume assessment, the patient was kept under observation, and no changes were made regarding the method of dialysis. Pericardial effusion and the C-reactive protein level both gradually declined, and the patient’s weight remained steady. The adenovirus antibody titer alone increased to 1:64 at approximately 2 weeks after hospitalization. The final diagnosis was acute pericarditis due to adenoviral infection rather than uremia or dialysis-associated pericarditis.

Conclusions
We treated a patient with a rare case of pericardial effusion caused by viral (adenoviral) pericarditis in a patient undergoing PD. In addition to testing for the usual causes, uremic and dialysis-associated pericarditis must always be ruled out in patients receiving dialysis. In cases of pericarditis with a viral origin, diagnosis and treatment must be comprehensive.
Genetic Associations of Birthweight, Childhood, and Adult BMI on Testosterone Levels: A Mendelian Randomization

Published: April 2022

AbstractContextBirthweight, childhood, and adult BMI have been indicated associated with the testosterone levels, but the current studies are plagued by significant heterogeneity, and a consensus about the role of these weight traits in testosterone levels is still debated.ObjectiveThis work aims to evaluate the genetic associations of birthweight and childhood and adult body mass index (BMI) on the adult testosterone levels (bioavailable testosterone [BT], sex hormone–binding globulin [SHBG], and total testosterone [TT]) in women and men.MethodsRandom-effect inverse-variance weighted (IVW) and 7 sensitivity analyses were performed. Data for weight traits were collected from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ranging from 39 620 to 434 794 individuals. Summarized data for testosterone levels were obtained from a GWAS up to 230 454 individuals.ResultsHigher adult BMI are significantly associated with lower BT (β = –0.13; 95% CI, –0.16 to –0.09) and TT in men (β = –0.25; 95% CI, –0.30 to –0.20). On the contrary, higher adult BMI increased the levels of BT (β = 0.23; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.20) and TT (β = 0.04; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.07) in women. Similar genetic associations on testosterone levels with sexual differences were observed for childhood BMI. However, higher birthweight led to lower BT levels in adult men (β = –0.08; 95% CI, –0.12 to –0.03) and women (β = –0.07; 95% CI, –0.13 to –0.02).ConclusionOur study supports that birthweight, childhood BMI, and adult BMI affect testosterone levels in men and women in adult life. The genetic associations of childhood BMI on testosterone levels are consistent with adult BMI, but not with birthweight.

Published: April 2022

Abstract

Context
Undiagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major preventable cause of stillbirth. In the United Kingdom, women are selected for diagnostic testing for GDM based on risk factors, including body mass index (BMI) &gt; 30 kg/m2.

Objective
To improve the prediction of GDM using metabolomics.

Methods
We performed metabolomics on maternal serum from the Pregnancy Outcome Prediction (POP) study at 12 and 20 weeks of gestational age (wkGA; 185 GDM cases and 314 noncases). Predictive metabolites were internally validated using the 28 wkGA POP study serum sample and externally validated using 24- to 28-wkGA fasting plasma from the Born in Bradford (BiB) cohort (349 GDM cases and 2347 noncases). The predictive ability of a model including the metabolites was compared with BMI &gt; 30 kg/m2 in the POP study.

Results
Forty-seven predictive metabolites were identified using the 12- and 20-wkGA samples. At 28 wkGA, 4 of these [mannose, 4-hydroxyglutamate, 1,5-anhydroglucitol, and lactosyl-N-palmitoyl-sphingosine (d18:1/16:0)] independently increased the bootstrapped area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) by &gt;0.01. All 4 were externally validated in the BiB samples (P = 2.6 × 10−12, 2.2 × 10−13, 6.9 × 10−28, and 2.6 × 10−17, respectively). In the POP study, BMI &gt; 30 kg/m2 had a sensitivity of 28.7% (95% CI 22.3-36.0%) and a specificity of 85.4% whereas at the same level of specificity, a predictive model using age, BMI, and the 4 metabolites had a sensitivity of 60.2% (95% CI 52.6-67.4%) and an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI 0.78-0.86).

Conclusions
We identified 4 strongly and independently predictive metabolites for GDM that could have clinical utility in screening for GDM.

Abstract

Context
Thyroid nodules’ size should not be the sole criterion for thyroidectomy; however, many patients undergo surgery for large or slowly growing nodules.

Objective
We evaluated risk for clinically significant thyroid cancer in patients with large or slowly growing nodules.

Methods
We reviewed data from 2 prospectively collected databases of patients undergoing thyroidectomies in tertiary referral centers in the USA and Greece over 14 consecutive years. We collected data on the preoperative surgical indication, FNA cytology, and surgical pathology. We included subjects operated solely for large or growing thyroid nodules, without any known or presumed thyroid cancer or high risk for malignancy, family history of thyroid cancer, or prior radiation exposure.

Results
We reviewed 5523 consecutive cases (USA: 2711; Greece: 2812). After excluding 3059 subjects, we included 2464 subjects in the present analysis. Overall, 533 thyroid cancers were identified (21.3%): 372 (69.8%) microcarcinomas (&lt;1 cm) and 161 (30.2%) macrocarcinomas (≥1 cm). The histology was consistent with papillary cancer (n = 503), follicular cancer (n = 12), Hürthle cell cancer (n = 9), medullary cancer (n = 5), and mixed histology cancers n = 4. Only 47 (1.9%) of our subjects had any form of thyroid cancer in the nodule that originally led to surgery. The cancers were multifocal in 165 subjects; had extrathyroidal extension in 61, capsular invasion in 80, lymph node involvement in 35, and bone metastasis in 2 subjects.

Conclusion
The risk of synchronous, clinically important thyroid cancers is small, but not null in patients with large or slow growing thyroid nodules. Therefore, more precise preoperative evaluation is needed to separate the patients who would clearly benefit from thyroid surgery from the vast majority of those who do not need to be operated.

Abstract
Background
Cytoreductive surgery is currently the main treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (OC), and several surgical maneuvers, including colorectal resection, are often needed to achieve no residual disease. High surgical complexity carries an inherent risk of postoperative complications, including anastomosis leakage (AL). Albeit rare, AL is a life-threatening condition. The aim of this single-center retrospective study is to assess the AL rate in patients undergoing colorectal resection and anastomosis during primary surgery for advanced epithelial OC through a standardized surgical technique and to evaluate possible pre/intra- and postoperative risk factors to identify the population at greatest risk.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of clinical and surgical characteristics of 515 patients undergoing colorectal resection and anastomosis during primary or interval debulking surgery between December 2011 and October 2019 was performed. Several pre/intra- and postoperative variables were evaluated by multivariate analysis as potential risk factors for AL.

Results
The overall anastomotic leakage rate was 2.9% (15/515) with a significant negative impact on postoperative course. Body mass index < 18 kg/m2, preoperative albumin value lower than 30 mg/dL, section of the inferior mesenteric artery at its origin, and medium–low colorectal anastomosis (< 10 cm from the anal verge) were identified as independent risk factors for AL on multivariate analysis.

Conclusions
AL is confirmed to be an extremely rare but severe postoperative complication of OC surgery, being responsible for increased early postoperative mortality. Preoperative nutritional status and surgical characteristics, such as blood supply and anastomosis level, appear to be the most significant risk factors.

Este ensaio identifica e discute as influências, as oportunidades e as fragilidades expostas pela pandemia do vírus Sars-Cov-2 (COVID-19) na mobilidade urbana, com foco nas políticas públicas brasileiras. Para tanto, apresentam-se o contexto de urbanização, os conceitos de mobilidade urbana e de sustentabilidade, além dos dados estatísticos. Como principais resultados, o estudo demonstra como a COVID-19 atingiu, principalmente, a população cujas condições socioeconômicas e de mobilidade prévias à crise já eram frágeis. Este estudo, também, expõe os riscos de retrocessos regulatórios relacionados à mobilidade sustentável, proporcionados pela pandemia e as oportunidades geradas em termos de redução de emissões, com a adoção de soluções de digitalização, como o teletrabalho. Conclui-se que há relação direta entre a COVID-19 e os aspectos socioeconômicos e que a pandemia reforça a necessidade de se revisitar políticas públicas, bem como de se incentivar cooperações público-privadas que permitam o desenvolvimento de cidades inteligentes e sustentáveis.
Κριτική προσέγγιση της συνήθους μεθοδολογικής προσέγγισης για την εκτίμηση της αποτελεσματικότητας Σχολικών μονάδων με τη μέθοδο της Περιβάλλουσας Ανάλυσης Δεδομένων

Για την εκτίμηση της αποδοτικότητας σχολικών μονάδων, συχνά χρησιμοποιείται η μέθοδος της Περιβάλλουσας Ανάλυση Δεδομένων (DEA). Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να εντοπιστούν οι πιθανές αδυναμίες της συνήθους μεθοδολογικής προσέγγισης εφαρμογής της συγκεκριμένης μεθοδολογίας στην Ελλάδα. Η μέθοδο DEA, προϋποθέτει την επιλογή δεικτών εισροών και εκροών που θα διασφαλίσουν τη σύγκριση των αποτελεσμάτων με άλλες μονάδες. Συχνά, η επιλογή περιορίζεται σε δείκτες των οποίων υπάρχουν διαθέσιμα δεδομένα, ενώ σπάνια χρησιμοποιούνται ποιοτικοί δείκτες που αφορούν τις ιδιαιτέρες συνθήκες μιας σχολικής μονάδας. Για παράδειγμα, ο αριθμός Η/Υ ανά μαθητή δεν διασφαλίζει τη σύγκριση μεταξύ διαφορετικών σχολικών μονάδων αν δεν συνυπολογιστούν παράμετροι όπως το αν υπάρχει μόνιμος εκπαιδευτικός (και τα προσόντα αυτού) για το αντίστοιχο μάθημα, αν οι συγκεκριμένοι Η/Υ έχουν απαξιωθεί, κα. Παρόμοιο πρόβλημα εντοπίζεται και στην υποκειμενικότητα των δεικτών εκροών. Για παράδειγμα, το ποσοστό εισαγωγής στη τριτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση, χωρίς κάποια ποιοτική παράμετρο όπως το ποσοστό εισαγωγής σε Πανεπιστημιακές Σχολές υψηλής ζήτησης.

Οι προσκυνηματικές διαδρομές, ως φαινόμενο, υπάρχουν από τα αρχαία χρόνια. Στόχος αυτών των διαδρομών ήταν ο ιερός τόπος ή αλλιώς το προσκύνημα. Στην Ελλάδα υπάρχουν πάρα πολλές τέτοιες διαδρομές. Μια απ’ αυτές είναι και η περίπτωση της Ιεράς Μονής Γενεθλίου της Θεοτόκου «Πελαγίας» στο χωριό Ακραίφνιο της Βοιωτίας. Σκοπός αυτής της εργασίας ήταν η κοινωνικοοικονομική μελέτη της προσκυνηματικής διαδρομής και ο στόχος ήταν να αποδειχθεί εαν οι προσκυνητές της συγκεκριμένης διαδρομής, μπορούν να βοηθήσουν στη βιώσιμη ανάπτυξη του προσκυνήματος. Μεθοδολογικά το θέμα προσεγγίστηκε μέσω ερωτηματολογίου και παρατηρήσεων στο πεδίο ερεύνης. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι προσκυνητές συμβάλλουν στην κοινωνικοοικονομική βιωσιμότητα της μονής και επηρεάζονται από τη θετική αντιμετώπιση τους από τις μοναχές

Στόχος της παρούσης εργασίας είναι η εμπειρική διερεύνηση της σχέσης, καθώς και η εκτίμηση της επίδρασης των δαπανών σε Έρευνα & Ανάπτυξη (συνολικών, δημοσίων και ιδιωτικών) στην καινοτομία, στις 13 περιφέρειες της Ελλάδας, κατά τη χρονική περίοδο 1995-2015. Η εμπειρική ανάλυση εδράζεται σε ενδογενή προσέγγιση (Grossman & Helpman, 1991; Jones, 1995b) και εφαρμόζει ανάλυση πάνελ δεδομένων (panel data analysis).Τα ευρήματα της μελέτης καταδεικνύουν ότι υφίσταται – μακροχρονίως – μονόδρομη αιτιώδης σχέση από την έρευνα & ανάπτυξη στην καινοτομία και ότι οι επιδράσεις των συνολικών, των δημόσιων και των ιδιωτικών δαπανών για έρευνα & ανάπτυξη επί της καινοτομίας υπήρξαν θετικές και στατιστικά σημαντικές.Συνεπώς προτείνεται η αύξηση των δαπανών σε Έρευνα & Ανάπτυξη με τη θέσπιση ειδικών φορολογικών κινήτρων, με τη χρήση νέων χρηματοδοτικών σχημάτων, με την ενίσχυση – με κεφάλαια σποράς – νέων επιστημόνων με ελπιδοφόρες και καινοτόμες ιδέες, και με την αξιοποίηση ενός ποσοστού των κερδών του υπερταμείου αποκρατικοποιήσεων και αξιοποίησης περιουσίας.

Η διαρκής έμφαση σε υποτιθέμενη μελλοντική οικονομική μεγέθυνση έχει στην πράξη αφήσει πολλές κοινότητες στο περιθώριο, την φτώχεια και την εξαθλίωση. Οι κοινωνίες λοιπόν που έβαλαν και βάζουν στο επίκεντρο τον ίδιο τον άνθρωπο, χρησιμοποιούν την κοινότητα ως μοχλό ανάπτυξης αξιοποιώντας το πολιτιστικό και κοινωνικό της κεφάλαιο, διαθέτουν τους πιο επιτυχημένους ρυθμούς κοινωνικής ανάπτυξης. Ανεξάρτητα από τις μεθόδους και τα εργαλεία που θα επιλεχθούν σε κάθε περίπτωση ξεχωριστά, το κομβικό σημείο είναι η αξιοποίηση των συγκριτικών πλεονεκτημάτων της εκάστοτε περιοχής και τόπου.Στην περίπτωση της Ανάβρας Μαγνησίας, μέσα από το μοντέλο της κοινωνικής και κοινοτικής οικονομίας και επιχειρηματικότητας η κοινότητα αυτή αναγεννήθηκε. Το παράδειγμα έγινε δυνατό χάρις στην συνέργεια ουσιαστικών σχέσεων μεταξύ της κοινότητας, η οποία ενισχύθηκε με την διαχειριστική γνώση (Τσουκαλάς ως Δήμαρχος) και της πανεπιστημιακής κοινότητας (ΕΜΠ Καθ. Καραλή). Έτσι τέθηκε σε λειτουργία ένα πλαίσιο υλικό-τεχνικής εφαρμογής μεταξύ Περιφέρειας Θεσσαλίας, του Ε.Μ. Π. με διοικητικό κέντρο τον δήμαρχο-κινητήρα (Τσουκαλά) που οργάνωσε τις βιώσιμες εφαρμογές τοπικής ανάπτυξης (κτηνοτροφία) στην κοινότητα.

“Se você quiser lutar, eis alguns pontos-chave, eis algumas linhas de força...” – é o que parecem dizer, fazendo ressoar o Foucault da primeira aula de Segurança, Território, População, praticamente todos os artigos quecompõem este número de Mnemosine.As linhas de força trazidas à cena, no entanto, variam bastante de escrito a escrito, e o leitor ora se verá instado a um eco, ora à dissonância – o que não constitui motivo para objeções, mas decerto veicula preocupações. Pois, para usar metáforas (?) hoje quase inevitáveis, aquilo que, como o racismo, o sexismo, a xenofobia, o punitivismo, o especismo, o capacitismo, o auto-empreendedorismo etc. etc., um dia emergiu epidêmico, logo se fez pandêmico e, na sequência (de longa ou curta duração), assentou-se como algo talvez endêmico. Como combater tal circunstância se defendemos,novamente evocando o “Careca”, a irredutibilidade do querer, a intransigência da liberdade?Sem descartar a brevidade característica dos editoriais de Mnemosine, cumpre ainda ressaltar a presença, na seção Biografia, de uma evocação à saudosa Sylvia Leser de Mello. Sua força, coragem e delicadeza nos acompanha no enfrentamento desses tempos tão duros.A despeito deles, boa leitura.A despeito deles, gratidão a autores, pareceristas e secretária Simone Serafim, que promovem a vida de nossa nanica irreverente.

Published: April 2022

El estudio analiza el metabolismo de la gestión del agua en la ciudad de Toluca por medio de un procedimiento deductivo-inductivo consta de registros estadísticos y administrativos, informes técnicos, ordenanzas, literatura, cartografía, observación y diálogo con autoridades y usuarios. Examina la jerarquía de los mecanismos de apropiación de los recursos hídricos, el entono urbano y el acceso al agua, la gestión del agua de uso público y la asequibilidad de los servicios de agua potable y drenaje. El déficit de agua disponible, el aumento de la población, la pobreza urbana, la expansión urbana y los costos operativos determinan la vulnerabilidad hidrosocial en la ciudad de Toluca. Las prácticas sociales caracterizan fisuras de planificación y operación, atención deficiente, acuerdos informales y conflictos por el agua. El consumo normalizado promedio alto, el nivel de ingresos, las tasas de recaudación y los descuentos establecen los umbrales para la dotación intermitente, la asequibilidad económica y la inaccesibilidad al agua. La seguridad hídrica exige límites a la urbanización anárquica; legislar la previsión integrada del agua: disponibilidad, capacidad de infraestructura, demanda real y potencial, dotación adecuada al contexto local, incentivos al consumo medidos, estrategias de ahorro y conservación, atención a las brechas de acceso.
Improbidade administrativa e crise sanitária: interlocuções sociojurídicas da responsabilidade do agente público
Authors: Ohlweiler Leonel Pires 
Published: April 2022

O presente artigo investiga o tema da improbidade administrativa, dialogando com as construções doutrinárias do Direito Administrativo e a perspectiva sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu. Analisa-se o modo como ações ímprobas são concretizadas no espaço institucional da Administração Pública, de modo a compreender os riscos de tais práticas durante o período da crise sanitária da COVID-19, considerando a regulação normativa da Lei nº 13.979/20. A construção de alguns indicadores é útil para pensar em erigir mecanismos direcionados para a prevenção. A metodologia empregada foi pesquisa bibliográfica com análise de casos julgados pelo Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Concluiu-se que as ações ímprobas possuem dinâmicas específicas e, de algum modo, regulares no campo administrativo do Estado, sugerindo-se medidas para diminuírem os riscos da patologia burocrática.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common paediatric soft tissue sarcoma. They comprise 40% of soft tissue sarcomas in children and adolescents. The overall 5-year survival rate in childhood is 71% with a worsening prognosis during infancy. The survival rate for children diagnosed at 10–14 years is 50%. The case of a 10-year-old female is presented to highlight the importance of awareness of atypical presentations of swellings. This report presents a case where a facial swelling was originally believed to be an odontogenic-related infection, but revealed to be a rhabdomyosarcoma. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The importance of a thorough history, examination and the recognition of salient features to ensure appropriate referral and adequate treatment without delay are highlighted.
