title: “Stable” vs. “silent progressive multiple sclerosis”: a real-world retrospective clinical imaging Brazilian study

description: ABSTRACT Background: Clinical and imaging are required to characterize activity and progression in MS. The parameters for activity are well defined but not those for progression. The ideal aim for long-term treatment is that neither clinical nor imaging signs of disease should be present, and also no brain atrophy. Objectives: To conduct a comparative clinical-imaging study focusing on MRI brain volumetry. Methods: 174 consecutive relapsing-remitting MS patients (McDonald 2001) were studied, focusing on activity and progression. Annual clinical evaluations (relapse rate and EDSS) and MRI data, along with the annualized evolution of the corpus callosum index (CCI), were compared. Results: Out of 174 patients, 148 were considered clinically “stable” based on EDSS. However, 33 (22.2%) out of this group showed annualized reductions in CCI of more than 0.5%, which was the cutoff for defining significant brain atrophy. Conclusions: Among apparently “stable” relapsing-remitting MS patients, 1/5 showed significant brain atrophy over a follow-up period of at least 7 years. We consider it reasonable to suggest that MRI volume sequences should be included in follow-up protocols, so as to provide information on the real treatment response status.

title: Photomontage and Brazilian press (1900-1940): a preliminary approach

description: ABSTRACT From a sample survey, this article aims to analyze the use of montage processes in the Brazilian press between 1900 and 1940. To demonstrate the possibilities offered to researches in a yet little studied field, the text is divided into two distinct moments. The first, called “close-up,” is dedicated to investigating two crimes, seeking to understand how montage collaborates in the articulation of reports sometimes sober, sometimes sensationalist. The second, entitled “travelling,” addresses some of the numerous possibilities offered by the montage, confronting the reader with a strange, though not disturbing, visual rhythm.

title: LEARNING STYLES AND STRATEGIES OF DICTIONARY USE FOR TEACHING PORTUGUESE

description: ABSTRACT This paper discusses, within the domain of learning styles, how so-called sensory preferences can guide strategies of dictionary use. It is based on previous literature that investigates sensory preferences, such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile. The aim of the paper is to associate the main features of sensory preferences and their most common learning strategies to explicit guidelines that optimize dictionary use in teaching Portuguese for native or non-native speakers. The paper seeks to go beyond the consensus on the function and use of dictionaries, as attested in previous work, and argues that students and teachers should work outside their own ‘stylistic comfort zone’ and diversify strategies throughout the teaching and learning process. As a result, the paper presents guidelines for dictionary use that cover the choice of different formats (printed, electronic, and online dictionaries), searching methods that are consistent with each preference, and dictionary recommendations. In addition, the paper also highlights further applications of the Roadmap for evaluating dictionaries as an instrument to document lexicographic works that would be more consistent with certain aims of vocabulary and students’ learning styles.

title: Radiological patterns of pulmonary fungal infection in pediatric hematology and oncology patients

description: Abstract Objective: To describe the radiological findings in pediatric patients with hematological or oncological diseases who also have an invasive fungal infection (IFI). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of all patients with IFI admitted to a pediatric hematology and oncology hospital in Brazil between 2008 and 2014. Clinical and demographic data were collected. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans of the patients were reviewed by two independent radiologists. Results: We evaluated the chest CT scans of 40 pediatric patients diagnosed with an IFI. Twenty-seven patients (67.5%) had nodules with the halo sign, seven (17.5%) had cavities, two (5.0%) had nodules without the halo sign, and seven (17.5%) had consolidation. The patients with the halo sign and cavities were older (123 vs. 77 months of age; p = 0.03) and had less severe disease (34% vs. 73%; p = 0.04). Ten patients had a proven IFI: with Aspergillus sp. (n = 4); with Candida sp. (n = 5); or with Fusarium sp. (n = 1). Conclusion: A diagnosis of IFI should be considered in children and adolescents with risk factors and abnormal CT scans, even if the imaging findings are nonspecific.

title: Corporeal Mime in embers: intimacy, performative atelier and intervention in the creations of Duo Mimexe

description: ABSTRACT This article presents some thoughts about Duo Mimexe performative research in relation to Corporeal Mime, over 2018 in the USA. That experience has integrated the residency in laboratory mode with Thomas Leabhart, Leonard Pitt, Corinne Soum and Steven Wasson, Étienne Decroux’s former assistants, aiming to understand with studies of re-enactment and the body as an archive the artistic and pedagogical resonances of that art in its current activities, and its intercultural perspectives. The character of the expanded atelier strengthened in the experience is discussed, concluding that the decrouvian artistic manner can serve as a guide for research based on practice, even generating Art.

title: Hands on clay: notes for an approach to the materiality of cuneiform writing

description: ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the relationship between the materiality of writing and the cuneiform writing system in ancient Mesopotamia. To this end, it will first look at the traditional approaches to the analyses of texts, from the “linguistic model” and its derivatives, and how they contributed to the dematerialization of writing by prioritizing the written message over the written material. Then, it will discuss the concepts of material and materiality, considering the conditions for existence and material properties of inscribed objects, as well as the material relations that enable the act of writing. Finally, from more recent analytical approaches in material culture studies that assign a more active role to materiality in structuring social relations, this study examines the relationship between subjects, objects, and the environments in which they are inserted through two case studies. The first one looks at clay tablets in administrative relations, problematizing the understanding of tablets as supports or vehicles for messages. The second case study explores alternatives for conceptualizing the dynamic relationship among materiality, text, and image in palace wall reliefs.

title: Interobserver agreement regarding the Fleischner Society diagnostic criteria for usual interstitial pneumonia patterns on computed tomography

description: Abstract Objective: To assess interobserver agreement among radiologists regarding the current Fleischner Society diagnostic criteria for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) patterns on computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: Using the Fleischner Society criteria for UIP CT patterns, five raters, working independently, categorized the high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans of 44 patients with interstitial lung disease who underwent lung biopsy. The raters also evaluated the presence, extent, and distribution of the most relevant imaging findings, as well as indicating their level of confidence in the most likely diagnosis and in up to three diagnostic hypotheses. Results: There was moderate to substantial interobserver agreement regarding the UIP patterns on HRCT—kappa statistic (κ) = 0.59-0.61. Interobserver agreement for the binary scores was substantial (κ = 0.77-0.79), whereas that for the presence of honeycombing was almost perfect (κ = 0.81-0.96). There was agreement regarding at least one of the three diagnostic hypotheses in only 36.4% of the cases. For the level of confidence in the most likely diagnosis, there was only slight to fair agreement (κ = 0.19-0.21). Conclusion: Interobserver agreement regarding the current Fleischner Society CT criteria for UIP was moderate to substantial among raters with varying levels of experience. There was only slight to fair agreement regarding the diagnostic hypotheses and for the level of confidence in the most likely diagnosis.

title: Speech and swallowing characteristics in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

description: ABSTRACT Background: Although facial muscle weakness is common in patients with Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), the literature is scarce on the speech and swallowing aspects. Objective: To investigate speech and swallowing patterns in FSHD and assess the correlation with clinical data. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients with clinical confirmation of FSHD and aged above 18 years were included and paired with healthy control individuals by age and gender. Individuals who had neurological conditions that could interfere with test results were excluded. The following assessments were applied: speech tests (acoustic and auditory-perceptual analysis); swallowing tests with the Northwestern Dysphagia Patient Check Sheet (NDPCS), the Eat Assessment Tool (EAT-10), the Speech Therapy Protocol for Dysphagia Risk (PARD), and the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS); disease staging using the modified Gardner-Medwin-Walton scale (GMWS); and quality of life with the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The correlation between test results and clinical data was verified by non-parametric statistics. Results: Thirteen individuals with FSHD and 10 healthy controls were evaluated. The groups presented significant differences in the motor bases of phonation and breathing. Regarding swallowing, two (15%) individuals presented mild dysphagia and seven (53.8%) showed reduced facial muscles strength. These results were not correlated with duration of the disease, age at symptoms onset, and quality of life. Dysphagia was related to worsening disease severity. Conclusions: FSHD patients presented mild dysarthria and dysphagia. Frequent monitoring of these symptoms could be an important way to provide early rehabilitation and better quality of life.

title: Long-term results of oversized balloon dilation for benign anastomotic biliary strictures: initial two-center experience

description: Abstract Objective: To describe, assess the feasibility of, and quantify the long-term patency achieved with percutaneous transhepatic biliary dilation using the anastomotic biliary stricture (ABS) oversized balloon dilation technique as a single-step procedure for the treatment of benign anastomotic biliary strictures following hepatobiliary surgery. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, two-center study including 16 consecutive cases of symptomatic benign biliary-enteric strictures. After assessment of the diameter of the bile duct by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, the strictures were dilated with oversized balloons (40-50% larger than the bile duct diameter) and an external biliary-enteric drain was placed. After drain removal, clinical symptoms and laboratory test results were evaluated every three months, whereas follow-up magnetic resonance imaging was performed at 30 days out and follow-up computed tomography was performed at 6 and 12 months out. Results: The mean follow-up time was 31.8 ± 8.15 months. Kaplan-Meier-estimated 1-, 2-, and 3-year patency rates were 88.2%, 82.4%, and 82.4%, respectively. There was one major complication—a small dehiscence of the anastomosis—which extended the catheter dwell time. Minor complications occurred in two cases—one small perihepatic hematoma and one segmental thrombosis of the left portal branch—neither of which required further intervention. Conclusion: The single-step ABS oversized balloon dilation technique is a feasible treatment for benign anastomotic biliary-enteric strictures. The technique appears to be associated with high rates of long-term clinical success and patency.
