Introducción: la enfermedad hepática no alcohólica (EHNA) constituye un desorden multifactorial cuyos elementos de riesgo se pueden aludir a la obesidad, el sedentarismo y el componente genético.
Objetivo: evaluar los niveles tensionales en niños y adolescentes con esteatosis hepática por sonografía de 5-18 años en el Hospital Regional Universitario Dr. Arturo Gullón.
Métodos y técnicas: se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal y fuente primaria. La muestra estuvo compuesta por de 106 participantes. Se realizó sonografía abdominal para determinar la presencia de esteatosis hepática y se midió la presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, IMC, talla y pruebas de laboratorio. Para el análisis estadístico se empleó chi-cuadrado.
Resultados: el sexo predominante en la tensión arterial sistólica fue el femenino con un 44.9 % en estadio prehipertensión, mientras que el masculino fue el sexo predominante en presión arterial diastólica con un 49.1 %. Se evidenció que los individuos con IMC del percentil 90 se encontraban en estadio prehipertensión en el percentil. El perfil lipídico (colesterol, HDL, LDL, triglicéridos) y las transaminasas (SGOT y SGPT) mostraron relación con niveles tensionales elevados con predominio en la TAD. Los valores elevados de glicemia presentan relación con las cifras aumentadas de la tensión arterial sistólica.
Conclusión: el estudio mostró que existe una relación entre la esteatosis hepática no alcohólica y el riesgo de desarrollar hipertensión arterial. Presentando relación estadísticamente significativa entre los niveles tensionales elevados y el perfil bioquímico estudiado, así como al IMC de los pacientes evaluados en la investigación.
A Young Girl's Recollections of Edgar Allan Poe
Authors: SEMTNER CHRISTOPHER P. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn a previously unpublished essay, Elma Mary Gove Letchworth (1832–1921) details her visits to the Fordham, New York, cottage of American poet, critic, and short story writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809–49). Her account provides a young girl's impressions of the famous author and insights into Poe's domestic life, humor, and fondness for children. The present paper examines Letchworth's essay and compares it with the reminiscences of other acquaintances of Poe, including a similar article written by her mother, Mary Gove Nichols (1810–84), in order to evaluate the accuracy of Letchworth's account.
“An Idyl of a Berry Pasture”: A Rediscovered Mary Wilkins Freeman Story
Authors: AYDELOTT KATHRINE C. , Wilkins Mary E. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In 1889, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman published a short story called “An Idyl of a Berry Pasture” in Once a Week, an early imprint of Collier's Weekly. Since that time, the story has been lost. Rediscovered, the tale depicts a meeting between the impoverished Viola Bell and the upstanding Elisha Burney and Viola's unsuccessful attempt to win his heart. Besides realistic dialect, careful descriptions of nature and village life, and pointed observations about the domestic lives and attitudes of New England men and women, Freeman revisits themes of poverty and class distinctions, and the polarities of freedom and safety, masculinity and femininity, authenticity and conformity, and individual and community. Published at a time when Freeman had established herself as a writer of the New England soil, and containing hallmarks of her best work, “An Idyl of a Berry Pasture” deserves placement among Freeman's strong and evocative New England stories.
Muriel Rukeyser's Christmas Message for Teachers: The History and Text of “Christmas and the Image of the Teacher”
Authors: ROESSEL DAVID , POMAR JAMES , Rukeyser Muriel 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In 1959, the poet Muriel Rukeyser was asked to write the Christmas issue of the Teacher's Letter, a trade newsletter for educators from Croft Educational Services. The text that was published was not Rukeyser's, and her anger and discomfort at what she called a “grotesque” of her essay is clear from her correspondence with the editor. Rukeyser's essay, “Christmas and the Image of the Teacher,” which appears here, is held in the Muriel Rukeyser Papers in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. The introduction discusses the aesthetic and political reasons why Croft did not accept Rukeyser's piece as it was submitted.
Robert Frost, Man of Letters
Authors: SANDERS DAVID 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This volume of Frost's collected letters, the first of four volumes to be issued by Harvard University Press, makes an auspicious start on an important literary project. The letters themselves—whether persuasive, appreciative, or explorative in intent—are arresting in their clarity and immediacy, their humor and tact, everywhere revealing a craftsman of language in service of an original mind and complex personality. While creating an epistolary autobiography in their self-revelation, they provide a fascinating window into the poetry and literary history of the early twentieth century. The volume is superbly edited. Its introductions and notes, indexes and appendixes are thorough without being cumbersome, offering a rewarding experience to anyone with a serious interest in Frost and an invaluable resource for scholars. The next three volumes, if done as well, as we have every reason to expect, will complete a fitting tribute to one of our greatest and most unusual poets.
“Such a Great Light”: Letters to Louisa and Abba Alcott from the Holley School for Freed People and the Story of Winnie Beale's Emancipation
Authors: SHELDEN MARY LAMB , Holley Sallie , Putnam C. L. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article transcribes and offers historical introduction to a hitherto-unpublished collection of letters from Sallie Holley and Caroline Putnam, founders of the Holley School for the freed people of Lottsburgh on Virginia's Northern Neck, to renowned author Louisa May Alcott and her mother, Abigail May Alcott, who over many years solicited and sent contributions to the school. As good ambassadors for their project, Holley and Putnam sent letters of gratitude documenting the use of various donated items and offering a vivid picture of the daily life of the school. The letters also contain three versions of a transcribed slave narrative of one of the school's neighbors, Winnie Beale, who was sold South before the Civil War and worked her way back to Lottsburgh after emancipation.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Lowers SGLT2/Slc5a2 Expression in the Mouse Kidney

Published: May 2022

<p> </p>
<p>Bariatric surgery improves glucose homeostasis but the underlying mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Here, we show that the expression of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2/<em>Slc5a2</em>) is reduced in the kidney of lean and obese mice following vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). Indicating an important contribution of altered cotransporter expression to the impact of surgery, inactivation of the <em>SGLT2/Slc5a2</em> gene by CRISPR/Cas9 attenuated the effects of VSG, with glucose excursions following intraperitoneal injection lowered by ~30% in wild-type mice but by ~20% in SGLT2 null animals. The effects of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapaglifozin were similarly blunted by surgery. Unexpectedly, effects of dapaglifozin were still observed in SGLT2 null mice, consistent with the existence of metabolically beneficial off-target effects of SGLT2 inhibitors. Thus, we describe a new mechanism involved in mediating the glucose lowering effects of bariatric surgery. </p>

Prevalence of ocular lesions in cats newly diagnosed with histoplasmosis: 55 cases (2015–2022)
Authors: Pucket Jonathan D. , Fentiman Katelyn E. , McCool Emily S. , Hanzlicek Andrew S. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the prevalence of ocular lesions in cats with newly diagnosed histoplasmosis.

ANIMALS
55 client-owned domestic cats.

PROCEDURES
As part of this prospective case series, cats diagnosed with histoplasmosis between the years 2015 and 2020 underwent complete ophthalmic examinations by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist prior to the initiation of antifungal treatment. Histoplasmosis was diagnosed by consistent clinical findings and identification of Histoplasma yeast on pathology or by the use of a commercially available enzyme immunoassay to detect Histoplasma antigen in urine.

RESULTS
Of the 55 cats, 45 (82%; 95% CI, 72% to 92%) had signs of active anterior, posterior, or panuveitis. The most common lesions were identified in the posterior portion of the globe and included chorioretinitis and partial retinal detachments (44/55 [80%; 95% CI, 69% to 90%] cats).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Detailed ophthalmic examinations should be performed on all cats with diagnosed or suspected histoplasmosis, as ocular involvement and subsequent vision loss are common.
Has Economic Growth in Balkan Countries Been Pro-Poor in the 2012–2017 period?
Authors: Zwierzchowski Jan , Panek Tomasz 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The study investigates whether economic growth in the Balkan countries was pro-poor in the most recent period. We also try to establish to what extent various measures of pro-poorness of economic growth produce consistent and comparable results. Firstly, concepts of pro-poor growth are defined and corresponding approaches toward measuring pro-poor growth are presented. We distinguish between measures based on a general class of pro-poor indices and a dominance-based techniques. In the empirical part of the study, we verified whether economic growth in six Balkan countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia) was pro-poor in the 2012–2017 period. The analyses is based on the latest available panel data of the European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). Growth was pro-poor in Croatia, Romania and Slovenia during the whole analysed period. The growth pattern was non pro-poor in Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia in certain years, mainly during periods of economic downfall. Various measures of pro-poor growth patterns do not produce consistent results in all instances. The results of the conducted comparative analysis suggest that the level of social benefits does not directly influence the pro-poor nature of the economic growth.
Undervisningsbegreppets innebörd i förskolan utifrån ett läroplansteoretiskt perspektiv
Authors: Berg Benita 
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study is to contribute knowledge about how teaching in preschool can be understood in relation to how teaching is described by preschool teachers. The following research questions were posed: How do preschool teachers describe teaching and its meaning in preschool? and What didactic questions appear in preschool teachers’ descriptions of teaching in preschool? The empirical data consist of reflective texts that were analysed through content analysis with the help of Bernstein’s concepts: classification and framing, and visible and invisible pedagogy. The results show that the preschool teachers in the study perceived the introduction of the concept of teaching in preschool as an opportunity, which allowed them to become more aware of their actions in different learning situations. That the preschool teachers described teaching taking place through play and in everyday situations based on children's interests and needs hints at an organization with invisible pedagogy, weak classification and weak framing. Strong classification and strong framing, on the other hand, became manifest when the preschool teachers described that they plan what they do with the children and use materials, organize children’s groups and design environments to promote children’s learning. Furthermore, the preschool teachers focused mainly on the didactic questions of how and why, while the what-question received less attention.

Chronic CSF leak from lumbar-peritoneal shunt tract: A case report
Authors: Bakhsh Ali , Elmolla Mohamed , Buxton Neil , Brodbelt Andrew 
Published: May 2022

Background:
We describe a case of long-standing intracranial hypotension caused by an iatrogenic arachnoid diverticulum. This case illustrates two learning points. First, excessive CSF absorption may occur through an acquired arachnoid-epidural venous plexus at a dural defect. Second, a long-standing CSF leak may benefit from definitive surgical repair in the first instance.

Case Description:
A 55-year-old female, with known idiopathic intracranial hypertension, presented with disabling chronic low-pressure symptoms after having a lumboperitoneal shunt removed 5 years previously. MRI scan revealed a Chiari I malformation (CMI) and a small dural interruption at the L3/4 space. CT myelography confirmed the abnormality. Intraoperatively, a dural defect and arachnoid bleb with an overlying attachment of adipose tissue and a vessel were found. Postoperatively, the patient has marked resolution of her headaches and dizziness and is mobilizing independently.

Conclusion:
Excessive CSF absorption appears to have occurred through an acquired arachnoid-epidural venous plexus. A high index of suspicion for intracranial hypotension is required in patients with low pressure symptoms and a CMI.
Atypical and aggressive diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor in a young adult: A case report and review of the literature

Published: May 2022

Background:
DLGNT is a rare tumor, commonly diagnosed in pediatric age; in most cases, the pathology presents a slow and indolent evolution. We present a case report of a young adult affected by DLGNT characterized by aggressive and atypical behavior.

Case Description:
A 21-year-old male presented with mild paraparesis and hypoesthesia with a D2 level. MRI scan of the brain and spine showed a dorsal intramedullary lesion; a diffuse craniospinal leptomeningeal thickening was also present. After a week, the neurological status deteriorated rapidly with paraparesis worsening and onset of acute hydrocephalus. The patient underwent external ventricular drain positioning; a C7-D4 laminectomy was subsequently performed with partial tumor resection. Histological examination revealed a DLGNT with aggressive aspects (Ki67 30%). Postoperatively, the patient showed an immediate mild worsening of the lower limbs deficit. After a few days, severe further neurological deterioration occurred with progressive motor deficit to the upper limbs and ultimately respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation was necessary and the patient was transferred to the ICU; during the following weeks, he developed tetraplegia and underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt positioning. By the time, the histological diagnosis was available, the clinical status would not allow radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The patient deceased approximately 90 days after hospitalization due to respiratory complications.

Conclusion:
DLGNT is a rare tumor; diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and confirmation with biopsy. Although most cases have an indolent course, some patients may have aggressive forms. High proliferation index, hydrocephalus occurrence, and massive craniospinal leptomeningeal spread appear to be associated with worse prognosis.
