ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease patients experience motor signs and non-motor symptoms caused by the disease. Deep brain stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) itself or its ventral or dorsal borders is one of the treatment options indicated to treat the refractory symptoms of this disease. However, it is still unknown which edge, when stimulated, generates more beneficial effects for these patients, which is the objective of this systematic review. To answer this question, electronic and manual searches were conducted in five databases and gray literature to identify studies that answered the question in this review. The selection of studies, data extraction, and analysis of the risk of bias of the included studies were performed. In total, seven studies were included in this systematic review. Most studies presented a minimal risk of bias, and their main methodological limitation was related to the sample inclusion criteria. Stimulation of the dorsal or ventral borders of the STN resulted in improved motor signs of Parkinson's disease, with some of the studies tending towards the choice of dorsal border stimulation for better motor effects, while the improvement in non-motor symptoms and inhibitory control was due to stimulation of the ventral border. The findings of this systematic review suggest that the improvement in the motor signs of Parkinson's disease can be brought about by stimulating the dorsal or ventral borders of the subthalamic nucleus, whereas non-motor symptoms such as anxiety improve with stimulation of the ventral border.


Pacientes com doença de Parkinson frequentemente experimentam sinais motores e sintomas não motores ocasionados pela doença. A estimulação cerebral profunda do Núcleo Subtalâmico (NST) ou de suas bordas ventral ou dorsal é uma das opções de tratamento indicada para tratar sintomas refratários dessa doença. No entanto, ainda não se sabe qual a borda que, ao ser estimulada, gera mais efeitos benéficos a esses pacientes, sendo esse o objetivo dessa revisão sistemática. Para responder essa questão foram realizadas buscas eletrônicas e manuais em cinco bancos de dados e na literatura cinzenta para identificar estudos que abordassem essa temática. Foram executados a seleção dos estudos, extração de dados e análise do risco de viés dos estudos incluídos. No total, sete artigos foram selecionados para comporem o estudo. A maioria dos estudos apresentou baixo risco de viés, sendo que a principal limitação metodológica deles se relacionou com os critérios de inclusão da amostra. A estimulação da borda dorsal ou ventral do NST resultou na melhora dos sinais motores da doença de Parkinson, com alguns dos estudos inclusos com tendência para a escolha da estimulação da borda dorsal para melhores efeitos motores, enquanto a melhora dos sintomas não motores e do controle inibitório foi devido à estimulação da borda ventral. Os achados sugerem que a melhora dos sinais motores da doença de Parkinson pode ser ocasionada ao estimular a borda dorsal ou ventral do Núcleo subtalâmico, enquanto os sintomas não motores, como a ansiedade, melhoram com a estimulação da borda ventral.

ABSTRACT

<b>Objective</b> To investigate the long-term safety and effectiveness of withdrawal of hepatitis B immuneglobulin (HBIG) and/or nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection in liver transplant recipients with hepatitis B-related diseases after successful vaccination. <b>Methods</b> Baseline data of 76 liver transplant recipients undergoing hepatitis B immune reconstitution after receiving hepatitis B vaccines were retrospectively analyzed. The vaccination and response, the follow-up results of respondents with HBIG and/or NAs withdrawal, and the reinfection of HBV after withdrawal of HBIG and/or NAs were analyzed. <b>Results</b> The time interval from liver transplantation to hepatitis B vaccination was 26 (20, 40) months. The time interval from vaccination to response was 15 (8,27) months. Initially, 76 recipients withdrew HBIG, and 36 recipients withdrew HBIG and NAs. During the follow-up, 12 of 76 recipients who withdrew HBIG resumed use of HBIG, and 16 of 36 recipients who withdrew HBIG and NAs resumed use of NAs. The withdrawal time of HBIG and NAs was 135 (98,150) and 133 (34,149) months, respectively. Sixteen respondents did not receive booster, and 36 respondents received boosters on a regular basis. The time interval between the first booster and HBIG withdrawal was 44 (11,87) months. No significant differences were observed in baseline data between the respondents with and without boosters (all <i>P</i>>0.05). During the follow-up, 9 recipients were lost to follow-up, 5 were re-infected with HBV, 3 died, and 1 recipient developed graft loss and underwent secondary liver transplantation. Among 5 recipients re-infected with HBV, 4 cases had virus mutation. Significant differences were found between re-infected and uninfected patients regarding withdrawal of NAs and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive before transplantation (both <i>P</i><0.05). <b>Conclusions</b> Long-term withdrawal of HBIG is feasible and safe for recipients with successful hepatitis B immune reconstitution after liver transplantation for hepatitis B-related diseases. Nevertheless, whether antiviral drugs can be simultaneously withdrawn remains to be validated.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This systematic review aims to compare the clinical longevity of metallic and fiberglass intraradicular posts in teeth with severely compromised crowns, utilizing randomized clinical trials and case reports published in the last eleven years. Material and Methods: The research was conducted on PubMed, Medline, Lilacs, and BBO databases using the first search strategy with the descriptors 'dental posts,' 'longevity,' 'fiberglass-reinforced posts' or 'metallic posts.' The second search strategy involved analyzing the references of articles identified by the first search. Both studies were carried out with stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: No statistically significant and clinically relevant differences in longevity were observed between metallic and fiberglass posts. Conclusion: The clinical success and durability of the restorative procedure using intraradicular posts primarily depend on the remaining amount around the post (ferrule), the type and position of the tooth in the arch (impacting the masticatory forces exerted on the restored tooth), and the correct application of the cementation technique. It is noteworthy that fiberglass posts offer substantial advantages by presenting a modulus of elasticity similar to dental structure, ensuring a more homogeneous distribution of masticatory forces and reducing the risk of fractures. These findings have practical implications for material selection in restorative procedures involving intraradicular posts.(AU)


Objetivo: Esta revisão sistemática visa comparar a longevidade clínica de pinos intrarradiculares metálicos e de fibra de vidro em dentes com coroas severamente comprometidas, através de estudos clínicos randomizados e relatos de casos, publicados nos últimos onze anos. Material e Métodos: A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados PubMed, Medline, Lilacs e BBO, utilizando a primeira estratégia de busca com os s 'pinos dentais' e 'longevidade' e 'pinos reforçados com fibra de vidro' ou 'pinos metálicos'. A segunda estratégia de busca consistiu na análise das referências dos artigos identificados pela primeira estratégia. Ambos os estudos foram delineados com critérios rigorosos de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Não se constataram diferenças estatisticamente significativas e clinicamente relevantes na longevidade entre pinos metálicos e de fibra de vidro. Conclusão: O êxito clínico e a durabilidade do procedimento restaurador empregando pinos intrarradiculares dependem primordialmente da quantidade de remanescente ao redor do pino (férula), do tipo e posição do dente na arcada (o que impacta nas forças mastigatórias exercidas sobre o dente restaurado) e da aplicação correta da técnica de cimentação.Destaca-se que o pino de fibra de vidro oferece vantagens substanciais ao apresentar módulo de elasticidade similar à estrutura dentária, assegurando uma distribuição mais homogênea das forças mastigatórias e reduzindo o risco de fraturas (AU)

ABSTRACT

O trabalho multiprofissional na Atenção Primária foi marcado pela criação das equipes dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família em 2008, pelo Ministério da Saúde. Esta nomenclatura sofreu alteração em 2017, e seu escopo de número e modalidades de equipes atendidas foi ampliado. Em, 2019, após a aprovação do Programa Previne Brasil e publicação da nota técnica 03/2020, os NASF foram desfinanciados pelo Ministério Federal, restando aos gestores municipais decisão pela manutenção dessas equipes, bem como sua forma de atuação. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a percepção dos trabalhadores e gestores a respeito do trabalho da Equipe Multiprofissional na região Sul do Município de São Paulo, acessando aspectos como a caracterização das composições das equipes, análise dos documentos normativos e diretrizes nomeadas como relevantes para os participantes na produção de suas práticas, e a compreensão dos trabalhadores e gestores a respeito da organização do trabalho das equipes multiprofissionais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa na modalidade estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa, que utilizou-se de dados secundários e entrevistas semiestruturadas para 8 participantes, , sendo 4 profissionais NASF, de equipes diferentes, e 4 gerentes de unidades básicas de saúde. A análise dos dados secundários sobre a composição das equipes mostra que apesar da inclusão de novas categorias profissionais, o número absoluto de profissionais manteve-se estável, com ampliação do número de equipes apoiadas, indicando uma diminuição efetiva da oferta de cuidado para os territórios. Também se constatou a existência de diferentes arranjos de equipe multiprofissional, um denominado como NASF tradicional e um NASF de Saúde Mental. Os relatos durante as entrevistas sugerem que as alterações deflagradas no processo de trabalho desde o desfinanciamento federal dos NASF são atribuídas pelos profissionais à portaria 538 de 2022 e às metas estipuladas na contratualização entre o município e as Organizações Sociais de direito privado (OSS) que gerem os serviços de saúde no território. Assim, após o desfinanciamento dos NASF, esses profissionais são mantidos, há a apropriação de nomenclaturas e tecnologias interrelacionais provenientes da estrutura dos NASF, tais como as reuniões de matriciamento, mas descaracterizadas de sua proposta inicial. Ao longo dos relatos obtidos com as entrevistas, é perceptível que os profissionais reconhecem que o novo modelo de atuação proposto tende à fragmentação do cuidado e ao esvaziamento ou burocratização dos espaços de matriciamento e das ações compartilhadas, reforçando o atendimento especializado, individual ou em grupo. Contudo, não foi possível identificar movimentos ou iniciativas de reflexão sobre a prática, o que tende a prejudicar a problematização desta realidade e inviabiliza a construção de estratégias coletivas de enfrentamento.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En pacientes con epilepsia del lóbulo temporal refractarios que no son candidatos a cirugía, se debe considerar la estimulación eléctrica cerebral como una opción. Contenido: La estimulación eléctrica cerebral es la administración directa de pulsos eléctricos al tejido nervioso que permite modular un sustrato patológico, interrumpir la manifestación clínica de las crisis y reducir la gravedad de estas. Así, dada la importancia de estos tratamientos para los pacientes con epilepsia del lóbulo temporal refractaria, se hace una revisión de cuatro tipos de estimulación eléctrica. La primera, la del nervio vago, es una buena opción en crisis focales y crisis generalizadas o multifocales. La segunda, la del hipocampo, es más útil en pacientes no candidatos a lobectomía por riesgo de pérdida de memoria, con resonancia magnética normal o sin esclerosis mesial temporal. La tercera, la del núcleo anterior, es pertinente principalmente en pacientes con crisis focales, pero debe realizarse con precaución en pacientes con alto riesgo de cambios cognitivos, como los ancianos, o en los que presentan alteración del estado de ánimo basal, y, por último, la del núcleo centromediano se recomienda para el tratamiento crisis focales en el síndrome de Rasmussen y crisis tónico-clónicas en el síndrome de Lennox-Gastaut. Conclusiones: El interés por la estimulación eléctrica cerebral ha venido aumentando, al igual que las estructuras diana en las cuales se puede aplicar, debido a que es un tratamiento seguro y eficaz en pacientes con epilepsia del lóbulo temporal para controlar las crisis, pues disminuye la morbimortalidad y aumenta la calidad de vida.


Introduction: In patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy who are not candidates for surgery, electrical brain stimulation should be considered as another option. Contents: Electrical brain stimulation is the direct administration of electrical pulses to nerve tissue that modulates a pathological substrate, interrupts the clinical manifestation of seizures, and reduces their severity. Thus, given the importance of these treatments for patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, four types of electrical stimulation are reviewed. The first, vagus nerve stimulation, is a good option in focal seizures and generalized or multifocal seizures. The second, hippocampal stimulation, is more useful in patients who are not candidates for lobectomy due to the risk of memory loss, with normal MRI or without mesial temporal sclerosis. The third, the anterior nucleus, is mainly in patients with focal seizures, but with caution in patients at high risk of cognitive changes such as the elderly, or in those with baseline mood disturbance and, finally, the centromedian nucleus is recommended for the treatment of focal seizures in Rasmussen's syndrome and tonic-clonic seizures in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Conclusions: the interest in brain electrical stimulation has been increasing as well as the target structures in which it can be applied because it is a safe and effective treatment in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy to control seizures, decreasing morbidity and mortality and increasing quality of life

ABSTRACT

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). From chronic HBV infection to HCC, most patients go through the stages of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and HCC. During this long process, the ongoing integration of HBV DNA into host DNA increases the risk of HCC, and the death and compensatory proliferation of hepatocytes caused by persistent liver inflammation may promote the accumulation of oncogenic mutations and finally lead to the malignant transformation of hepatocytes. Currently, nucleos(t)ide analogues are widely used anti-HBV drugs, which controls infection by inhibiting HBV replication and can thus effectively slow down disease progression and end-stage liver disease; however, anti-HBV therapy often starts late and has a relatively low treatment rate, and there is still a tendency of increase in the incidence rate of HBV-related HCC. Therefore, how to improve current antiviral strategies to further reduce the risk of HBV-related end-stage liver disease including HCC has become a hotspot in clinical practice. This article summarizes the previous studies supporting the expansion of antiviral therapy and suggests that antiviral therapy should be initiated as early as possible to inhibit viral replication and the sequential events of HBV DNA integration and ultimately reduce the risk of HCC in patients with chronic HBV infection.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the demographic characteristics and clinical influencing factors which associates with the occurrence probability of persistent or intermittent hypoviremia (LLV) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs). Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was performed on patients with CHB who received outpatient NAs therapy for≥48 ± 2 weeks. According to the serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA load at 48±2 weeks treatment, the study groups were divided into LLV (HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml and < 2 000 IU/ml) and MVR group (sustained virological response, HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml). Demographic characteristics and clinical data at the start of NAs treatment (considered as baseline) were retrospectively collected for both patient groups. The differences in the reduction of HBV DNA load during treatment was compared between the two groups. Correlation and multivariate analysis were further conducted to analyze the associated factors influencing the LLV occurrence. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent samples t-test, c2 test, Spearman analysis, multivariate logistic regression analysis, or area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: A total of 509 cases were enrolled, with 189 and 320 in the LLV and MVR groups, respectively. Compared to patients with MVR group at baseline: (1) the demographics characteristics of patients showed that LLV group was younger in age (39.1 years, P = 0.027), had a stronger family history (60.3%, P = 0.001), 61.9% received ETV treatment, and higher proportion of compensated cirrhosis (20.6%, P = 0.025) at baseline; (2) the serum virological characteristics of patients showed that LLV group had higher HBV DNA load, qHBsAg level, qHBeAg level, HBeAg positive rate, and the proportion of genotype C HBV infection but decreased HBV DNA during treatment (P < 0.001) at baseline; (3) the biochemical characteristics of patients showed that LLV group had lower serum ALT levels (P = 0.007) at baseline; (4) the noninvasive fibrosis markers of patients showed that LLV group were characterized by high aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index (APRI) (P = 0.02) and FIB-4 (P = 0.027) at baseline. HBV DNA, qHBsAg and qHBeAg were positively correlated with LLV occurrence (r = 0.559, 0.344, 0.435, respectively), while age and HBV DNA reduction were negatively correlated (r = -0.098, -0.876, respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that ETV treatment history, high HBV DNA load at baseline, high qHBsAg level, high qHBeAg level, HBeAg positive, low ALT and HBV DNA level were independent risk factors for patients with CHB who developed LLV with NAs treatment. Multivariate prediction model had a good predictive value for LLV occurrence [AUC 0.922 (95%CI: 0.897 ~ 0.946)]. Conclusion: In this study, 37.1% of CHB patients treated with first-line NAs has LLV. The formation of LLV is influenced by various factors. HBeAg positivity, genotype C HBV infection, high baseline HBV DNA load, high qHBsAg level, high qHBeAg level, high APRI or FIB-4 value, low baseline ALT level, reduced HBV DNA during treatment, concomitant family history, metabolic liver disease history, and age < 40 years old are potential risk factors for developing LLV in patients with CHB during the therapeutic process.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the effect of nucleos(t)ide analog (NAs) antiviral treatment on the clinical features and prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 450 HBV-HCC patients first diagnosed and treated in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2015 to January 2021, including 193 patients in the continuous NAs treatment group and 257 patients in the NAs treatment after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) group. The baseline data of the two groups were balanced by propensity score matching. The relapse-free survival rate of HCC was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method, and the risk factors for HCC recurrence were analyzed by Cox proportional risk models. Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the association between clinical features of HCC and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA load in patients receiving continuous NAs treatment.Results:Before matching, the proportions of liver cirrhosis, body mass index≥25.0 kg/m 2, single tumor, maximum tumor diameter ≤5 cm, Child-Pugh grade A, China liver cancer staging Ⅰ in the continuous NAs treatment group were 93.8%(181/193), 45.1%(87/193), 70.5%(136/193), 82.4%(159/193), 74.6%(144/193) and 74.6%(144/193), respectively. All of them were higher than those in the NAs treatment after HCC group (87.5%(225/257), 44.0%(113/257), 61.1%(157/257), 55.3%(142/257), 63.8%(164/257) and 56.0%(144/257), respectively). The proportions of drinking history and portal vein tumor thrombi in the continuous NAs treatment group were 12.4%(24/193) and 3.1%(6/193), respectively, which were lower than 33.9%(87/257) and 10.5%(27/257) in the NAs treatment after HCC group.The differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=4.86, 7.58, 4.27, 36.63, 8.15, 21.05, 27.21 and 8.88, respectively, all P<0.05). After matching, the median relapse-free survival time of the patients in the continuous NAs treatment group and the NAs treatment after HCC group were 388 days and 277 days, respectively. The five-year cumulative relapse-free survival rates were 50.0% and 37.5%, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.30, P=0.021). Multivariate analysis showed that no antiviral therapy before diagnosis of HCC, multiple tumors, maximum tumor diameter ≥5 cm and palliative treatment were independent risk factors for HBV-HCC recurrence (hazard ratio ( HR)=1.509, 1.491, 0.446 and 1.472, respectively, all P<0.05). After matching, the maximum tumor diameter ( r=0.175, P=0.042), incidence of portal vein tumor thrombi ( r=0.210, P=0.014) and recurrence of HBV-HCC ( r=0.178, P=0.038) in the continuous NAs treatment group were positively correlated with HBV DNA load. Conclusions:Early initiation of NAs antiviral treatment can improve the tumor characteristics when the disease progresses to HBV-HCC, and improve the relapse-free survival rate of HBV-HCC patients. No antiviral therapy before diagnosis of HCC, multiple tumors, maximum tumor diameter ≥5 cm and palliative treatment are independent risk factors for HBV-HCC recurrence.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O estudo analisa a implantação e implementação das práticas integrativas e complementares (PIC), bem como limites e potencialidades desse processo, nos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) de uma região de saúde do estado de São Paulo, na perspectiva de profissionais dos Núcleos Ampliados de Saúde da Família (NASF). Trata-se de estudo de abordagem quanti-qualitativa cujos dados foram coletados por meio de questionário e entrevista semiestruturada on-line e analisados com uso de estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo modalidade temática. Do conjunto de dados emergiram três unidades temáticas: (des)estrutura para compra de materiais para as PIC; PIC enquanto cuidado ampliado, resolutivo e integral; e (Des)estrutura na alocação de profissionais para oferta de PIC. Em um contexto marcado por políticas de desmonte do NASF e do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), a continuidade do cuidado com a oferta de PIC por profissionais do NASF emerge como prática de resistência que reafirma a vida e reitera a longitudinalidade, o acolhimento e a integralidade, essenciais à APS e ao SUS.


Abstract This study analyzes the implantation and implementation of Complementary Therapies (CT), as well as its limits and potentialities in Primary Health Care (PHC) services of a São Paulo health region, from the perspective of NASFExtended Family Health Centers (NASF) professionals. A quantitative and qualitative study was conducted with data collected by means of a questionnaire and online semi-structured interview, and examined using descriptive statistics and thematic content analysis. Three thematic units emerged from the data set: (Un)structured purchase of CT-related materials; CT as expanded, resolutive and integral care; and (un)structured allocation of professionals to CT. In a context marked by policies aimed at dismantling the NASF and SUS, continuity of care with CT offered by NASF professionals emerges as resistance practice that reaffirms life and reiterates longitudinality, embracement and integrality, essential to PHC and SUS.

ABSTRACT

A pesquisa apresentada neste artigo identificou significações atribuídas por estudantes do ensino fundamental ao processo de reforço escolar. A partir da perspectiva teórica da Psicologia Sócio-histórica, conceitos fundamentais da constituição psicológica da criança no período escolar foram elencados. Com o referencial teórico foi criado um roteiro de entrevista, aplicado a estudantes de escolas particulares de São Paulo, sendo que este artigo traz uma das análises realizadas, com foco em um estudante. As respostas dos estudantes geraram uma análise qualitativa, utilizando o referencial teórico dos Núcleos de Significação, procedimento de análise elaborado por Aguiar e Ozella. A análise da entrevista de Caio trouxe significações a respeito do aluno que precisa de reforço escolar como sinônimo de "mau aluno", contribuindo para a adoção de mecanismos de defesa por Caio, alimentados por sentimentos de exclusão, monotonia e cansaço com o ambiente escolar. A partir das informações encontradas, os adultos envolvidos com a criança podem reestruturar e orientar de forma diferente o processo de reforço escolar, visando à diminuição ou eliminação dos sentimentos de exclusão e desvalorização que o processo pode gerar. (AU)


The research presented in this article identified meanings attributed by elementary school students to the process of school tutoring. From the theoretical perspective of Socio-Historical Psychology, fundamental concepts of the psychological constitution of the child in the school period were listed. With the theoretical reference, an interview script was created, applied to students from private schools in São Paulo, and this article brings one of the analyses carried out with a student. The students' answers generated a qualitative analysis, using the theoretical reference of the Nuclei of Meaning core, an analysis procedure developed by Aguiar and Ozella. The analysis of Caio's interview brought up meanings about the student who needs tutoring as a synonym of "bad student", contributing to the adoption of defense mechanisms by Caio, fed by feelings of exclusion, monotony and tiredness with the school environment. From the information found, the adults involved with the child can restructure and orient the process of school tutoring in a different way, aiming at reducing or eliminating the feelings of exclusion and devaluation that the process can generate.

A partir de las informaciones encontradas los adultos involucrados con el niño pueden reestructurar y orientar de forma diferente el proceso de refuerzo escolar, buscando la disminución o eliminación de los sentimientos de exclusión y devaluación que el proceso puede generar.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os desafios e possibilidades encontradas no estudo da deriva educacional, condição em que os sujeitos já estiveram na escola, mas foram dela excluídos antes de concluir a educação básica, sendo responsabilizados pelo retorno aos estudos. Trata-se de um ensaio teórico-metodológico que foca no pensamento categorial, sobretudo a categoria da dimensão subjetiva como recurso para apreensão da concreticidade do fenômeno social estudado. A deriva educacional é um fenômeno social pouco estudado no campo da Psicologia da Educação e a possibilidade de explicá-lo é desafiadora, tendo em vista as armadilhas presentes nos discursos carregados da intenção de ocultar o modo como se trata de uma condição social e historicamente determinada no modo de produção capitalista. Diante dessa dificuldade, ter como base teórico-etodológica o Materialismo Histórico-dialético (MHD) e a Psicologia Sócio-histórica (PSH) foi fundamental. O pensamento categorial possibilitou, partindo das significações dos participantes da pesquisa, superar as múltiplas camadas de aparência para compreender a deriva educacional em sua complexidade. A categoria da dimensão subjetiva e o processo de análise por meio dos núcleos de significação possibilitaram chegar a uma síntese das múltiplas determinações da deriva educacional que permitiu explicá-la de forma contra-hegemônica, apontando para os movimentos já existentes ou ainda necessários para a transformação, sem recorrer à justificativas individualizantes, psicologizantes ou sociologizantes.

This article aims to analyze the challenges and possibilities experienced in the educational drift study, condition in which the subjects had already been to school, but were excluded from it before completing basic education, being held responsible for returning to their studies. This is a theoretical-methodological essay that focuses on categorical thinking, especially the subjective dimension category as a resource for apprehending the social phenomenon concreteness. Educational drift is a social phenomenon on which there are few studies in the field of Educational Psychology. The possibility of explaining this issue is a challenge, since the pitfalls present in the discourses intended to hide the way in which it is a social and historically determined condition in the capitalist mode of production. Faced with this difficulty, it was fundamental to have Historical-Dialectical Materialism (MHD) and Socio-Historical Psychology (PSH) as a theoreticalmethodological basis. The categorical thinking enabled us, starting from the research participants significations, to overcome the appearance of multiple layers and to understand the educational drift in its complexity. The subjective dimension category and the analysis processes through the signification nuclei made it possible to reach an educational drift multiple determinations synthesis that allowed us to explain the issue in a counter-hegemonic way, pointing to the already existing or still necessary movements to transformation, without resorting to individualizing, psychologizing or sociologizing justifications.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Ataxia is defined as a lack of coordination of voluntary movement, caused by a variety of factors. Ataxia can be classified by the age at onset and type (chronic or acute). The causative lesions involve the cerebellum and cerebellar connections. The correct, appropriate use of neuroimaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging, can make the diagnosis relatively straightforward and facilitate implementation of the appropriate clinical management. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the imaging findings of ataxia, based on cases obtained from the archives of a tertiary care hospital, with a review of the most important findings. We also discuss and review the imaging aspects of neoplastic diseases, malformations, degenerative diseases, and hereditary diseases related to ataxia.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and practicability of hepatocellular carcinoma prediction score (PAGE-B) and modified hepatocellular carcinoma prediction score (mPAGE-B) in predicting the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated liver cirrhosis and received nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment.Methods:From June 2009 to December 2014, at Department of Hepatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, the clinical data of 707 patients with HBV-associated liver cirrhosis and received NA treatment were retrospectively collected, and the patients were followed up. The risk factors of development of hepatocellular carcinoma were analyzed. PAGE-B (including platelet count, age, gender), mPAGE-B (including platelet count, age, gender and albumin), Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) were compared in area under receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) for predicting the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma within 5 years. Risk stratification analysis was carried out for mPAGE-B and PAGE-B. Multivariate Cox regression analysis, receiver operator characteristic curve, Mann-Whitney U test and Kaplan-Meier method were used for statistical analysis. Results:The age of 707 patients was (46.7±12.2) years old, including 567 males (80.2%) and 140 females (19.8%). The positive rate of hepatitis B e antigen was 56.4% (399/707). The scores of PAGE-B, mPAGE-B, CTP and APRI were 15.90±4.24, 12.39±3.58, 6.88±2.15 and 1.80 (0.85, 3.79), respectively. The overall follow up time was (38.14±20.97) months and the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 8.1% (57/707). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that advanced age, low platelet count and quantitative reduction of HBV DNA were independent risk factors of development of hepatocellular carcinoma (Wald=20.44, 5.64 and 9.25; HR(95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.056(1.031 to 1.081), 0.994(0.989 to 0.999) and 0.769(0.649 to 0.911); P<0.001, =0.018 and 0.002). The AUROCs (95% CI) of PAGE-B, mPAGE-B, CTP score and APRI for predicting the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma within 5 years were 0.708 (0.639 to 0.778), 0.724 (0.657 to 0.778), 0.576 (0.500 to 0.652) and 0.516 (0.443 to 0.589), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in AUROCs for predicting the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma within 5 years between mPAGE-B and PAGE-B, between APRI and CTP score (both P>0.05). The AUROC for predicting the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma within 5 years of CTP score was less than those of PAGE-B and mPAGE-B, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=3.00 and 3.79; P=0.003, <0.001). The AUROC for predicting the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma within 5 years of APRI was less than those of PAGE-B and mPAGE-B, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=4.75 and 5.46, both P<0.001). There were 51 cases (7.2%), 394 cases (55.7%) and 262 cases (37.1%) in the low-risk (<10) group, medium-risk (10 to 17) group and high-risk (>17) group as assessed by PAGE-B. The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 0(0/51), 4.8% (19/394) and 14.5% (38/262), respectively the annual average incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 0, 1.6% and 5.5%, respectively, the 5-year cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 0, 7.3% and 31.3%, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma of high-risk group was higher than those of medium-risk group and low-risk group (log-rank test=19.27, P<0.001). There were 97 cases (13.7%), 246 cases (34.8%) and 364 cases (51.5%) in the low-risk group (<9), medium-risk group (9 to 12) and high-risk group (>12) as assessed by mPAGE-B. The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 2.1% (2/97), 3.7% (9/246) and 12.6%(46/364), the annual average incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 0.6%, 1.1% and 4.7%, respectively, the 5-year cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 2.4%, 5.1% and 26.7%, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma of high-risk group was higher than those of medium-risk group and low-risk group (log-rank test value=18.64, P<0.001). Conclusions:Both PAGE-B and mPAGE-B can predict the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma within 5 years in patients with HBV-associated liver cirrhosis treated with antiviral therapy, identify liver cirrhotic patients at high risk of development of hepatocellular carcinoma and guide clinicans to use more efficient screening strategies.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Estudos empíricos identificaram insuficiências e precariedades na atuação de apoio matricial dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família. Este artigo, baseado em experiências assistemáticas diversas e literatura selecionada, defende duas teses interligadas que criticam aspectos das normativas federais originais para atuação desses Núcleos: uma concepção − implícita nas normativas − de atenção primária à saúde como cenário de ações situadas apenas em campos de competência compartilháveis, por um lado; e a opção de inserção desses Núcleos relativamente fora do fluxo assistencial dos usuários, por outro. Argumenta-se que ambas, provavelmente, geraram efeitos adversos envolvidos nos problemas de atuação desses Núcleos: contribuíram para a superestimação dos seus resultados esperados, para o seu subaproveitamento e subdesenvolvimento institucional e para a precarização da sua legitimidade, dificultada com a Política Nacional de Atenção Básica de 2017 e atingida gravemente com o desfinanciamento federal em 2019. Defende-se o aperfeiçoamento dos Núcleos de Apoio à Saúde da Família e sugere-se sua inserção no fluxo assistencial entre a atenção primária à saúde e a atenção secundária, para reduzir o isolamento entre ambas e aperfeiçoar a coordenação personalizada do cuidado, facilitar a legitimidade dos 'matriciadores', o apoio matricial e a educação permanente dos profissionais.


Abstract Empirical studies have identified shortcomings and precariousness in the matrix support activities of the Family Health Support Centers. This article, based on diverse unsystematic experiences and selected literature, defends two interconnected theses that criticize aspects of the original federal regulations for the performance of these Nuclei: a conception - implicit in the regulations - of primary health care as a scenario for actions located only in fields of shareable competences, on the one hand; and the option of inserting these Centers relatively outside the care flow of users, on the other. It is argued that both, probably, generated adverse effects involved in the problems of operation of these Nuclei: they contributed to the overestimation of their expected results, to their underutilization and institutional underdevelopment and to the precariousness of their legitimacy, hampered by the 2017 National Primary Care Policy and seriously affected by the federal underfunding in 2019. The improvement of the Family Health Support Centers is defended and their insertion in the care flow between primary health care and the secondary care, to reduce the isolation between the two and improve the personalized coordination of care, facilitate the legitimacy of collaborative care, matrix support and the continuing education of professionals in Brazil.

Se defiende el perfeccionamiento de los Núcleos de Apoyo a la Salud de la Familia y se sugiere su inserción en el flujo asistencial entre la atención primaria a la salud y secundaria, para reducir el aislamiento entre ambas y mejorar la coordinación personalizada de la atención, facilitar la legitimación de los 'matriciadores', el apoyo matricial y la formación permanente de los profesionales en Brasil.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi responder qual é a melhor técnica para remoção de pinos de fibra de vidro e pinos metálicos fundidos considerando tempo, preservação da estrutura dentária e custos. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo in vitro, randomizado e cego. Sessenta dentes tratados endodonticamente foram randomizados em dois grupos de acordo com o tipo de pino. Uma segunda randomização foi realizada para cada tipo de técnica de remoção (ultrassom, broca ou combinada; n=10). One-way ANOVA foi usado para comparar o tempo de remoção do pino, teste t pareado comparou a quantidade de estrutura dentária removida e Kruskal Wallis seguido pelo teste post hoc de Mann-Whitney foram usados para análise de custo (P = 0,05). Resultados: Não houve diferença no tempo de remoção do pino considerando o tipo ou técnica do pino (P=0,630). A perda média de estrutura dentária na região cervical foi superior a 30% quando apenas uma ponta diamantada foi usada para remover pino de fibra de vidro (P<0,00001) e pino metálico fundido (P=0,008). Conclusão: De acordo com os resultados deste estudo, podemos concluir que a seleção da técnica de remoção dependerá da habilidade do operador, e sempre ocorrerá alguma perda de estrutura dentária, embora seja esperada uma perda maior quando apenas pontas diamantadas são usadas para este fim.(AU)


Objective: The aim of this study was to answer which is the best technique to removing glass fiber post and cast metal post considering time, preservation of tooth structure, and costs. Methods: An in vitro, randomized, blinded study was conducted. Sixty endodontically treated teeth were randomized into two groups according to post type. A second randomization was performed for each type of removal technique (ultrasound, drill, or combined; n=10). One-way ANOVA was used to compare the time to post removal, paired t-test compared the amount of tooth structure removed and Kruskal Wallis followed by post hoc Mann-Whitney test were used for cost analysis (P=0.05). Results: There was no difference in post removal time considering post type or technique (P=0.630). The average loss of tooth structure in the cervical region was greater than 30% when only a diamond bur was used to remove fiber glass post (P<0.00001) and cast metal post (P=0.008). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, we can conclude that the selection of the removal technique will depend on the skill of the operator, and some loss of tooth structure will always occur, although greater loss is expected when only diamond burs are used for this purpose.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Transaxonal degenerations result from neuronal death or the interruption of synaptic connections among neuronal structures. These degenerations are not common but may be recognized by conventional magnetic resonance imaging. Objective: The learning objectives of this review include recognition of the imaging characteristics of transaxonal degenerations involving cerebellar connections, the identification of potential encephalic lesions that can lead to these degenerations and correlation of the clinical manifestations with imaging findings that reflect this involvement. Methods: In this report, we review the neuroanatomical knowledge that provides a basis for identifying potential lesions that can result in these degenerations involving cerebellar structures. Results: Hypertrophic olivary degeneration results from an injury that interrupts any of the components of the Guillain-Mollaret triangle. In this work, we describe cases of lesions in the dentate nucleus and central tegmental tract. The crossed cerebellar diaschisis presents specific imaging findings and clinical correlations associated with its acute and chronic phases. The Wallerian degeneration of the middle cerebellar peduncle is illustrated by fiber injury of the pontine cerebellar tracts. A T2-hyperintensity in the dentate nucleus due to a thalamic acute lesion (in ventral lateral nuclei) is also described. Each condition described here is documented by MRI images and is accompanied by teaching points and an anatomical review of the pathways involved. Conclusion: Neurologists and radiologists need to become familiar with the diagnosis of these conditions since their presentations are peculiar and often subtle, and can easily be misdiagnosed as ischemic events, degenerative disease, demyelinating disease or even tumors.


RESUMO Degenerações transaxonais resultam da morte neuronal ou da interrupção de conexões sinápticas entre estruturas neurais. Essas degenerações não são comuns, mas podem ser reconhecidas por imagens de ressonância magnética convencional. Objetivo: Os objetivos de aprendizado desta revisão incluem o reconhecimento das características de imagem de degenerações transaxonais envolvendo conexões cerebelares, a identificação de possíveis lesões encefálicas que podem levar a essas degenerações e a correlação das manifestações clínicas com os achados de imagem que refletem esse envolvimento. Métodos: Neste artigo, revisamos conhecimentos neuroanatômicos que fornecem a base para identificar possíveis lesões que podem resultar nessas degenerações envolvendo estruturas cerebelares. Resultados: A degeneração olivar hipertrófica resulta de uma lesão que interrompe algum dos componentes do triângulo de Guillain-Mollaret. Neste trabalho, descrevemos casos de lesões no núcleo denteado e no trato tegmentar central. A diásquise cerebelar cruzada apresenta achados de imagem específicos e correlações clínicas associadas às suas fases aguda e crônica. A degeneração walleriana dos pedúnculos cerebelares médios é ilustrada pela lesão dos tratos pontino-cerebelares. Uma hiperintensidade em T2 do núcleo denteado devido a uma lesão talâmica aguda (no núcleo ventrolateral) também é descrita. Cada condição aqui descrita é documentada por imagens de ressonância magnética e é acompanhada por pontos didáticos e uma revisão anatômica das vias envolvidas. Conclusão: Neurologistas e radiologistas precisam estar familiarizados com o diagnóstico dessas condições, uma vez que suas apresentações são peculiares e frequentemente sutis, e podem ser facilmente equivocadamente diagnosticadas como lesões isquêmicas, doenças degenerativas, desmielinizantes, ou mesmo tumorais.
