Abstract:
Introduction. Non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a serious polyetiologic problem in the male population. The side effects of the medication agents used to treat LUTS significantly reduce treatment compliance. According to the literature data, the frequency of refusal for the proposed treatment during the year varies from 20 to 80%. Several studies have shown the benefits of herbal medicine for LUTS concerning the fewer side effects and increased adherence to treatment. However, to obtain a high-level recommendation base, clinical trials are required.Purpose of the study. To evaluate the effectiveness of Gardaprost® in LUTS combination therapy.Materials and methods. The study included 57 men aged 60 – 70 years with diagnosed medium- or large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and moderate-to-severe LUTS according to I-PSS, morphologically excluded prostate cancer, without urinary infection signs. The patients were randomized into two follow-up groups. Tamsulosin 0.4 mg q.d. was prescribed to patients in the control group. Patients of the main group received Gardaprost® 0.4 mg q.d. in addition to Tamsulosin. The follow-up period in both groups was one-year. The statistical analysis includes data from 56 men. To evaluate therapy at the screening visit and on days 180 and 360, I-PSS, urination diary, IIEF-5, urinalysis, prostate-specific antigen, uroflowmetry, ultrasound were analyzed. Paired t-test and one-way ANOVA test were used to determine intergroup differences in normally distributed variables. For variables with a distribution other than normal, Friedman's two-way ANOVA for related samples was used. Events with a probability greater than 95% were considered statistically significant.Results. At the time of inclusion in the study, the groups were comparable concerning the control parameters. In the main group, there was a more pronounced positive dynamics in the I-PSS score, maximum urine flow rate, and post-void residual urine volume, which corresponded to 7.9 ± 2.1 points, 18.0 ± 7.3 ml/sec, 23.6 ± 13.6 ml vs 19.7 ± 7.2 points, 10 ± 3.5 ml/sec, 65.9 ± 33.2 ml in the main and control groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Additionally, in the main observation group, a decrease in prostate volume was recorded by 18.8% (p < 0.001) was recorded.Conclusion. We have obtained encouraging long-term results from the use of Gardaprost® in combination therapy of moderate-to-severe LUTS caused by medium- and large-volume BPH.

Abstract:
AbstractObjectives:This study investigated the relationship between on-field, objective signs immediately following sport-related concussion and self-reported symptom endorsement within 1 day post injury.Methods:A retrospective case series of 237 concussed high school athletes was performed. On-field signs were evaluated immediately post injury. Self-reported symptoms (2 clusters) were collected within 1 day post injury. A two-step structural equation model and follow-up bivariate regression analyses of significant on-field signs and symptom clusters were performed.Results: Signs of immediate memory, β=0.20,p=.04, and postural instability, β=0.19,p< .01, significantly predicted a greater likelihood of endorsing the cognitive-migraine-fatigue symptom cluster within 1 day post injury. Regarding signs correlated with specific symptoms, immediate memory was associated with symptoms of trouble remembering, χ2=37.92,p< .001, odds ratio (OR)=3.89 (95% confidence interval (CI) [2.47, 6.13]), and concentration difficulties, χ2=10.84,p=.001, OR=2.13 (95% CI [1.37, 3.30]). Postural instability was associated with symptom endorsement of trouble remembering, χ2=12.08,p< .001, OR=1.76 (95% CI [1.29, 2.40]).Conclusions:Certain post-concussion on-field signs exhibited after injury were associated with specific symptom endorsement within 1 day post injury. Based on these associations, individualized education-based interventions and academic accommodations may help reduce unanticipated worry from parents, students, and teachers following a student-athlete’s sport-related concussion, especially in cases of delayed onset symptoms.

We are reporting a case of prostatic tuberculosis in a 50 year old man. The patient was treated due to intense lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Based on physical examination and accessory investigations the patient was qualified for prostatectomy. Histological analysis of the removed adenoma revealed benign hyperplasia and tuberculosis of the prostate. Retrospectively, no signs of tuberculosis in the lungs or urinary system were confirmed. Antituberculous treatment was immediately administered according to the schedule for the systemic tuberculosis and the patient was followed up. There were no signs of tuberculosis after two months follow-up. TAJ 2010; 23(1): 95-97

Abstract:
Context: Recent researchers have reported that athletes' knowledge of sport-related concussion (SRC) has increased but that athletes still lack knowledge of all the signs and symptoms of SRC. Understanding the signs and symptoms of SRC and the dangers of playing while symptomatic are critical to reporting behaviors in high school athletes. Objective: To examine sex differences in knowledge of SRC symptoms and reasons for not reporting a suspected SRC to an authoritative figure in high school athletes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Survey. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 288 athletes across 7 sports (198 males [68.8%] and 90 females [31.2%]). Main Outcome Measure(s): A validated knowledge-of-SRC survey consisted of demographic questions, a list of 21 signs and symptoms of SRC, and reasons why athletes would not report their SRC. The independent variable was sex. Athlete knowledge of SRC symptoms was assessed by having participants identify the signs and symptoms of SRC from a list of 21 symptoms. Knowledge scores were calculated by summing the number of correct answers; scores ranged from 0 to 21, with a score closer to 21 representing greater knowledge. Reporting-behavior questions asked athletes to choose reasons why they decided not to report any possible SRC signs and symptoms to an authoritative figure. Results: A sex difference in total SRC symptom knowledge was found (F286 = 4.97, P = .03, d = 0.26). Female high school athletes had more total SRC symptom knowledge (mean ± standard deviation = 15.06 ± 2.63; 95% confidence interval = 14.54, 15.57) than males (14.36 ± 2.76; 95% confidence interval = 13.97, 14.74). Chi-square tests identified significant relationships between sex and 8 different reasons for not reporting an SRC. Conclusions: High school males and females had similar SRC symptom knowledge; however, female athletes were more likely to report their concussive symptoms to an authoritative figure.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the association of a range of off-field symptoms reported by athletes retrospectively with on-field concussion signs and in-office symptoms among rugby union players.BackgroundPlayers with sports concussion experience multiple symptoms. Understanding the association between these symptoms and clinical markers of concussion would facilitate a targeted approach to symptom assessment and treatment.Design/MethodsCross-sectional study. We consecutively enrolled 92 adult rugby union players, within the first 72 hours after sport concussion. Ten symptoms assessed using a retrospective symptoms interview were examined for their association with observed concussion signs and post-concussion symptoms using the Post-Concussion Symptoms Scale (PCSS).ResultsOdds ratios revealed that athletes who was overtly symptomatic based on retrospective concussion interview at the time of the concussion were over 2.6 times more likely (p = 0.047) to have exhibited post-traumatic amnesia when compared with athletes who was asymptomatic. There were no differences between groups in terms of on-field loss of consciousness or confusion. Off-field symptoms reported by athlete were associated with symptoms reporting on the Beck Depression Inventory (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.14–6.88), headache (OR 4.9; 95% CI 1.92–12.79), memory concerns (OR 3.15; 95% CI 1.06–9.34), pressure in head (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.03–8.08), and visual disturbances (OR 3.9; 95% CI 1.05–14.50) within the first 72 hours after concussion.ConclusionsSymptomatic concussed rugby athletes have increased odds for sustaining on-field concussion signs that can be observed by others and persistent symptoms within the first 72 hours after concussion. Information from the on-field and off-field assessment is essential in understanding the severity of sports concussion.

Abstract:
Bone metastases from prostate cancer are very common. They are usually located on the axial skeleton. However, cranial bone metastases especially to the parietal bone are rare. We report a case of metastatic prostate cancer presenting with left parietal bone metastasis in a patient with no urological symptoms or signs. We should consider prostate cancer in any man above 60 years presenting unusual bone lesions.

Abstract:
Abstract Purpose The development of vascular and neurosensory findings were studied in two groups of long-term exposed quarry and foundry workers with different vibration exposures, working conditions and work tasks. Methods The study included 10 quarry workers (mean age 43 yrs., mean exposure time 16 yrs.) and 15 foundry workers (35 yrs.; 11 yrs.) at two plants in Sweden. All participants completed a basic questionnaire and passed a medical examination including a number of neurosensory tests, e.g. the determination of vibration (VPT) and temperature (TPT) perception thresholds as well as a musculoskeletal examination of the neck, shoulders, arms and hands. Results A high prevalence of neurosensory findings (40%) was found among the quarry workers. Both groups, however, showed a low prevalence of vibration white fingers (VWF). Foundry workers showed significantly better sensitivity than quarry workers for all monofilament tests (p ≤ 0.016), TPT warmth in dig 2 (p = 0.048) and 5 dexter (p = 0.008), and in dig 5 sinister (p = 0.005). They also showed a better VPT performance in dig 5 dexter (p = 0.031). Conclusions Despite high vibration exposure, the prevalence of VWF was low. The high prevalence of neurosensory findings among the quarry workers may depend on higher A(8) vibration exposure and higher exposure to high-frequency vibrations. An age-effect and exposure to cold could also be contributing factors. The nervous system seems to be more susceptible to high-frequency vibrations than the vascular system. For neurosensory injuries, the current ISO 5349-1 standard is not applicable.

Abstract:
The objectives of this research were to (1) characterize the demographics and vocal health history of collegiate-level singers, particularly those with a voice disorder and (2) describe and compare self-reported symptoms of singers across diagnostic categories of vocal fold disorders. Clinical reports of 56 collegiate-level singers (15 male and 41 female) who visited the Voice Diagnostic Clinic at the University of North Texas for voice evaluations between 2010 and 2015 were reviewed. Information was extracted from clinical records including demographic data, vocal health history, self-reported voice-related symptoms, and voice diagnosis confirmed by strobolaryngoscopic examinations and phonatory function testing. Diagnoses of voice disorders were grouped under three categories: normal (i.e., no perceptible pathology), benign lesions and irritation/inflammation. Seven singers were diagnosed as normal, 27 (51.8%) with benign lesions, and 22 (39.3%) with irritation/inflammation. All singers diagnosed as normal were females. Female singers have twice as many benign lesions as irritation/inflammation whereas males presented the opposite pattern. Nodules, polyps, cysts and irritation/inflammation were the most common voice disorders. Singers with allergies and a past history of voice problems demonstrated a higher incidence of voice disorders. The top five self-reported vocal symptoms were worse voice in the morning (50%), pain in throat (46.4%), voice worse with prolonged use (44.6%), vocal fatigue (42.9%), and breathiness (41.1%). Self-reported symptoms are not a reliable screening tool to determine presence or absence of vocal pathology. Voice teachers must be familiar with the singing and speaking voice of each student, so as to perceive early onset of vocal attrition symptoms and encourage the student in seeking medical attention.

Abstract:
Background Obesity is an important risk factor for resistance to insulin-mediated glucose disposal, and is a precursor of type 2 diabetes and other disorders. Objectives To identify molecular pathways in adipose tissue and inflammatory cells that may result in obesity-associated insulin resistance, we exploited the fact that not all obese individuals are prone to insulin resistance. Thus the degree of obesity as a variable was removed by studying obese subjects of similar body mass index (BMI) who are insulin-sensitive (IS) versus insulin-resistant (IR). Methods Combining gene expression profiling with computational approaches, we determined the global gene expression signatures of omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples obtained from 10 obese-IR and 10 obese-IS patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. In a secondary study, we isolated monocytes from 4 obese-IR, 3 obese-IS, and 4 nonobese-IS adolescent and young adult subjects for purposes of assessing differences in expression of inflammatory genes in monocytes using RT-PCR. Results Gene sets related to chemokine activity and chemokine receptor-binding were identified as most highly enriched in the omental tissue from obese-IR compared to obese-IS subjects, independent of BMI. Strikingly, insulin resistance, but not BMI, was associated with increased macrophage infiltration in the omental adipose tissue, as was adipocyte size. In the adolescent and young adult cohort, expression of two cytokine signaling molecules (IL8, SOCS3) and two downstream products of the JNK pathway (JunB, c-Fos) showed increased expression in the obese-IR subjects compared to the obese-IS and nonobese-IS subjects, suggesting the presence of a proinflammatory phenotype in monocytes in obesity, which is exacerbated in the insulin resistant state. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that inflammation of omental adipose tissue and activation of proinflammatory monocytes is strongly associated with insulin resistance in human obesity. Manipulation of these pathways may result in the prevention of or delay in the onset of obesity-related co-morbidities.

Abstract:
Objective The main objective of this thesis was to explore the effects of diet on gastrointestinal symptoms in prostate cancer patients treated with local curative radiotherapy, by evaluating dietary intake prior to treatment (Study I), the psychometric properties of a new questionnaire on patient-reported gastrointestinal side effects (Study II), and the effect of a dietary intervention on acute and long-term gastrointestinal symptoms up to 2 years after radiotherapy completion (Study III-IV). Methods A total of 130 men with localized prostate cancer referred to dose-escalated radiotherapy (ED2 87-102 Gy, α/β=3 Gy) were recruited to a dietary intervention trial. Patients were randomized to receive either standard care plus the dietary intervention of a fibre- and lactose-restricted diet (intervention group, IG; n=64) or standard care alone (standard care group, SCG; n=66). Data on gastrointestinal symptoms and dietary intake were collected pre-treatment and at seven time points during a follow-up period of 26 months. Results Prior to treatment, grain products and milk products were major sources of energy. Unbalanced fatty acid intake and low intake of selenium were observed (Study I). Validation of the Gastrointestinal Side Effects Questionnaire (GISEQ) revealed satisfactory internal consistency, moderate concurrent validity and adequate responsiveness (Study II). There were no significant effects of the intervention on acute or long-term gastrointestinal symptoms, but a tendency towards lower prevalence and severity of bloating and diarrhoea in the IG compared to the SCG during radiotherapy. Gastrointestinal symptoms were predominantly mild, and the frequency of clinically relevant symptoms was merely a few percent. Dietary adherence in the IG was initially good, but tended to decline beyond 12 months post-radiotherapy (Study III-IV). Conclusions A fibre- and lactose-restricted diet was not superior to the habitual diet in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms in patients undergoing high-dose, small-volume radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer. The GISEQ enables assessment of patient-perceived change in symptoms, but further work is needed to strengthen its psychometric qualities. It is suggested that continued research in this area target patient categories referred to irradiation of larger pelvic volumes with a higher risk of gastrointestinal symptoms, and that dietary interventions incorporate established strategies to enhance adherence and effectiveness.

Abstract:
AIM OF THE THESIS Since Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is essentially based on increased adiposity and it is associated with male hypogonadism, erectile dysfunction, psychological disturbances, and BPH/LUTS, and all these factors might, in different ways, affect reproductive capacity, we investigated their possible correlations with MetS. Hence, we performed two studies. In the first study (study 1) we evaluated possible associations between MetS, semen and hormonal parameters, as well as clinical characteristics, including sexual, ultrasound and psychological characteristics, in a cohort of men with couple infertility. In the second study (study 2), we systematically investigated the possible associations between MetS and prostate-related symptoms and signs in a cohort of young men in infertile unions and tried to establish whether these associations correlate with fertility. Study 1 conclusions We report that an increasing number of MetS factors are dose-dependently associated with relevant organic (poor sperm quality, hypogonadism, ED) and psychological (depression, somatization) features that might affect reproductive outcomes of men seeking medical care for couple infertility. This might tailor ad hoc therapeutic intervention. Behavioural interventions targeting lifestyle factors, such as dietary practice and physical activity, might ameliorate not only metabolic and psychological parameters but also male infertility, as has been demonstrated for female infertility. Study 2 conclusions This study demonstrates that in a cohort of men with infertility, a component-dependent, stepwise association was observed between an increase in the number of MetS components and the total and transitional zone prostate enlargement and prostate related-inflammatory signs but not symptoms or current infection of the male genital tract, which suggests a sub-clinical inflammation of the prostate. Relative prostate overgrowth may also correlate with MetS-related hyperinsulinaemic state. In addition, MetS but not MetS’s related prostate CDU abnormalities was associated with poor sperm morphology. FINAL CONCLUSIONS In men with couple infertility, MetS is associated with hypogonadism, poor sperm morphology, testis ultrasound inhomogeneity, erectile dysfunction, somatization and depression. In addition, MetS is positively associated with prostate enlargement, biochemical (seminal interleukin 8) and ultrasound-derived signs of prostate inflammation but not with prostate-related symptoms, which suggests that MetS is a trigger for a subclinical, early-onset form of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Recognizing MetS could help patients to improve not only fertility but also sexual and overall health.

Abstract:
Background: In 2020, SARS-Cov-2 was identified as responsible for pneumonia in Wuhan and declared by WHO to be a pandemic. The action of SARSCoV-2 with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 and the cytokine storm, can trigger acute cerebrovascular diseases, meningoencephalitis, arterial dysregulation and possible neurological consequences. With the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS), it is necessary to alert professionals to a possible increase in acute neurological cases and long-term follow-up. Objectives and methodology: To analyze the occurrence of signs and symptoms related to the COVID-19 infection, seeking to establish the most common and the most serious ones, through narrative review. Results: The symptoms related to the CNS were described in all the studies analyzed, with a higher occurrence of headache, altered level of consciousness, dizziness, myalgia, hypogeusia and hyposmia. Other quotes, to a lesser extent, were neuralgia and seizure episodes. Among the most worrying findings are cerebrovascular events, acute hemorrhagic necrotizing encephalopathy and GuillainBarré syndrome. As for cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic injuries and venous thrombosis can occur, from asymptomatic cases to severe cases. The importance of pre-existing risk factors in the cerebrovascular outcome is highlighted. Conclusions: Although the symptoms of primary infection are nonspecific and easily confused, CNS involvement can be fatal, citing cerebrovascular involvement as the most worrying finding. The occurrence of pre-existing risk factors should take the attention of the health professional, however, those who do not have them must also be carefully investigated from the signs and symptoms presented.

Abstract:
Adolescence is a critical period of development which can be affected by the initiation and escalation of marijuana use. Examining risk factors of marijuana misuse among adolescents is a public health priority. Previous research examining depression and anxiety as risk factors for marijuana use among young adults is mixed. Some studies found a positive relationship between mental health symptoms and marijuana use, while other studies have found gender-specific relationships or no relationship at all. Despite this research, little is known regarding mental health symptoms and marijuana use among adolescents. The aims of current analysis were to 1) examine associations between mental health symptoms and marijuana use behavior among adolescents, and 2) examine coping motives as a moderator of the relationship between mental health symptoms and marijuana outcomes. The current study included 170 late adolescents (15-18 years old, Mage = 16.86, SDage = 0.94, 50% female) recruited from Washington State. The sample was stratified by gender and marijuana use such that participants ranged from never using marijuana to reporting heavy, regular marijuana use. Participants were asked to complete three online assessments over the course of six months. Data described here come from the first online assessment. This included a 4-item measure of mental health symptoms (depression and anxiety) in the past 2 weeks, in addition to measures of marijuana use, marijuana-related consequences, and marijuana use motives. A series of initial linear regression models that controlled for age and sex found that mental health symptoms were not significantly associated with typical marijuana use (p > .05) but were significantly positively associated with marijuana-related consequences (β = 0.33, p < .001). Additional models that also included coping motives found that stronger endorsement of using marijuana to cope with negative affect was associated with more hours high in a typical week (β = 0.25, p < .05) and more marijuana-related consequences (β = 0.24, p < .05). There were no significant interactions between coping motives and mental health symptoms in predicting either marijuana use or consequences (ps > .05). The findings suggest that adolescents who report more mental health symptoms do not necessarily use more marijuana than those who report fewer symptoms, but may be at greater risk for experiencing negative consequences as a result of their usage. Additionally, the results suggest a stronger endorsement of using marijuana to cope with negative affect is related to greater marijuana use and risk for experiencing negative consequences. No evidence of moderation was found suggesting the relationships between mental health symptoms and marijuana use outcomes do not vary as a function of coping motives. Screening during adolescence for early signs of mental health symptoms to predict risk may be beneficial towards preventing negative outcomes and providing early interventions for marijuana misuse.

Abstract:
Abstract Wellbore geometry stuck pipe mechanism occurs when the string and the well are incompatible with each other. This issue is commonly related to changes in hole diameter, angle, and direction associated with symptoms such as mobile/swelling formation, undergauged hole, key seating, ledges, and high doglegs. An internal study identified that many stuck pipe incidents were associated with mechanical sticking, specifically wellbore geometry sticking with high-cost impact, which warrants proactive prevention. Throughout this paper, we provide and demonstrate how machine learning solutions can foresee the potential stuck pipe related to wellbore geometry issues based on two signs: hookload signature and dogleg severity. The application is based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach that reads the surface parameters sequence of hookload real-time data and learns with historical wells data. Machine learning (ML) then determines how the hookload behaves for each type of activity (tripping and drilling). The machine learning predictions can then be streamed on a web-based application accessible to the operations and project team. The neural network design for hookload prediction while tripping in/out considers a drag when the string moves towards a region with doglegs severity higher than the threshold chosen based on engineering judgment. This paper also discusses applications beyond real-time estimation, such as predicting the trend of the few subsequent expected hook loads up to 6 to 10 stands ahead based on case studies from previous live wells obtained from the real-time monitoring center where the product is used. The output from the machine learning solution provided a basis for risk identification and further analysis by the monitoring specialist in a proactive intervention effort to prevent stuck pipe incidents. The implementation of applications described in this paper could detect an early symptom of wellbore geometry issue; hence proactive action can be taken to avoid a potential stuck pipe event.

Abstract:
Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare condition (less than 1% of stroke). It occurs in the younger population (less than 50 years old), 3 times more common in women, especially those of reproductive age. Objectives and methodology: Narrative review to correlate CVT with the use of combined oral contraceptives (ACO). The following databases were used: Pubmed, Scielo and Medline. Results: A systematic review had 11 studies included showing that the use of OAC increases the chances of developing CVST (central venous sinus thrombosis). Among the 9 studies that reported odds ratios, the combined probability of developing CVST in women of reproductive age who use OAC was 7.59 times the probability of developing CVST compared to those who do not take oral contraceptives (OR = 7.59, 95 CI % 3.82-15.09). A retrospective study of 37 female adolescents was diagnosed with CVT, 22 (59%) of whom used OAC and the remaining 15 had other etiological factors. The data indicate that adolescents using OAC to treat hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction or polycystic ovary syndrome may also have some risk factors for thrombosis, such as hereditary coagulopathy. The coexistence of these diseases mentioned with the use of OCA can increase the risk of CVT. Conclusions: The two main studies analyzed concluded the association between the use of ACO and cases of CVT in women. It’s necessary to be attentive to suggestive signs and symptoms in this population, as they are common to other pathologies, making the diagnosis of CVT difficult.

Abstract:
Background: GBS is an acute inflammatory polyneuropathy resulting from an immune response after infection. Characterized as an ascetic, progressive, selflimiting flaccid tetraparesis. It has several phenotypic presentations, which one is AMAN. The treatment’s based on use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) and plasmapheresis (PLEX). Methods: A literature review of the PubMed and UpToDate databases using descriptors “GBS” and “AMAN” between 2014-2020. Objectives: Report a case of GBS, addressing AMAN variant; a literature review with therapeutic and diagnostic possibilities. Case report: DTS, 32y, male, admitted with a picture of flaccid, limp asymmetrical tetraparesis, with an asymmetrical pattern, predominant in lower limbs, without sensory symptoms. Progressive evolution, onset of motor symptoms on the 8th day after self-limited diarrhea. CSF on 3rd day of onset of motor symptoms without dissociation cytological protein - CN: 62 / Ptn: 80.1mg / dl. Repeated CSF on the 10th day with CN: 27 / Ptn: 215 mg / dl. electroneuromyography 16/04: electrophysiological examination shows motor neuropathy of axonal pattern with signs of denervation in activity, findings compatible with axonal neuropathy. IGIV was performed for 5 days, without complications. Results: The diagnosis of GBS is based on CSF clinical criteria and findings on electroneuromyography. AMAN is a phenotypic variant characterized by purely motor and axonal impairment. The therapeutic options proven effectiveness are PLEX, and IGIV. Conclusion: Studies demonstrates that there’s no difference in effectiveness between PLEX and IGIV, the choice of treatment being dependent on socioeconomic and patient-related factors.

Abstract:
Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease of worldwide distribution, caused by protozoa of the Cryptosporidium genus. In cattle, the main species involved is Cryptosporidium parvum, considered to be an important agent that causes diarrhea in naturally infected neonates, which can lead to death. This article sought to investigate and describe, based on a literature search, aspects related to the epidemiological chain, pathogenesis, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prophylaxis of bovine cryptosporidiosis (CB), in order to improve knowledge of the health-disease process in the population. The results showed that the disease is transmitted by the oro-fecal route, through the ingestion of food and water contaminated by sporulated oocysts of the agent. The asymptomatic picture is related to infection of the abomasum by Cryptosporidium andersoni in adult animals and by Cryptosporidium bovis or cervid genotype in weaned calves. Symptomatic symptoms usually appear in calves up to 30 days of age. The morbidity and mortality of the disease are high and low, respectively, affecting mainly lactating animals. It was concluded that investigations related to CB are fundamental to establish the clinical diagnosis and control and prevention measures of the disease.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is, through a clinical case, to review the literature on psychosis secondary to methadone withdrawal. Observation of the patient and consultation of the clinical file. Non-systematic literature review on methadone use, methadone discontinuation and dual pathology. A 47-year-old male, history of opioid and cannabinoid use disorder, currently in abstinence and under opioid substitution therapy with methadone. After abrupt discontinuation of methadone, he began presenting delusional ideas of jealousy and persecution with multiple delusional interpretations. A diagnosis of persistent delusional disorder was made, and he was medicated with long-term injectable aripiprazole. Methadone is a synthetic opioid agonist used to treat addictions to opioids, such as heroin. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) contributes to cessation or reduction of heroin use, reduced risk of HIV and hepatitis virus infections, decreased mortality, improved family and social relationships and employment status. Side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting, sweating, respiratory depression and prolongation of the QT interval. Other important consequences are precipitation of withdrawal symptoms with consequent relapse to heroin use and withdrawal from MMT. Methadone withdrawal leads to the classic symptoms of opiate withdrawal - abnormalities in vital signs, dilated pupils, agitation, irritability, insomnia, sneezing, nausea and vomiting. In a minority of cases, it can lead to the sudden onset of affective disorders and psychotic disorders. Although scarce, psychotic symptoms after opioid withdrawal have already been described in the literature. Opioids function not only as neurotransmitters, but also as neuromodulators that may be involved in the regulation of the dopaminergic system. An altered neuromodulation of the central opioid-dopamine systems due to long-term MTM may be related to psychotic pathogenesis. Considering the high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with substance use disorder, it's important to pay attention and monitor any change in opioid medication, with close observation for possible psychotic symptoms.

Abstract:
Two hundred and sixtyeight (268) consecutive out-patients with clinical features compatible with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) were referred to our Department for contrast venography, which was carried out according to standard methods, employing 120-160 ml of a non-ionic contrast medium (Iohexol). All side effects probably related to venography were recorded during the test, immediately after its execution, at one day and during long-term follow-up (1 week, 1 month and 6 months), including impedance plethysmography (IPG) evaluation in patients with normal venograms. Eighteen patients (7%) did not undergo venography because of severe edema of the dorsum of the foot (3), impossibility to find a vein (7), patient refusal (1), known hypersensibility to radiopaque dye (4) and allergic reactions after injection of contrast medium (3). Our analysis therefore included 250 patients. Hypersensitivity reaction to the contrast medium following the venography were encountered in 3 patients (1%) of whom two had severe reactions. Pain and tenderness of the foot and calf after the test was observed in 15 patients (6%). No clinical signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism were observed during and after the procedure and all serum creatine levels, assessed before venography, at day 1 and day 7, remained unchanged. There were 7 instances of contrast extravasation (3%) which did not result in local skin or tissue damage. In none of the patients was there any evidence to suggest the presence of post-venographic phlebitis and no patients with negative venograms developed a positive IPG during the period of follow-up.

Abstract:
Introduction: Viral encephalitis (VE) is an inflammation of the brain parenchyma that progresses to neurological dysfunction of infectious origin. It occurs after hematogenous dissemination into the Central Nervous System and the most common agents are herpes virus, influenza, enterovirus, arbovirus, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr. The signs and symptoms are headache, fever, decreased level of consciousness, seizures, focal deficits and behavioral changes. Objective: Recognize the epidemiological pattern of hospitalizations for VE in Brazil, between 2010 and 2020. Methods: A search for original articles and statistical information was performed in the databases Scielo, PUBMED, Medline and DATASUS, the latter related hospitalizations for VE with region, age, gender and year. Results: Hospitalizations are greater between 0 and 14 Y.O. (59.6%) in both genders, being 1.38M: 1F. The data indicate: <1 Y.O. (15%), 1-4 Y.O. (18.1%), 5-9 Y.O. (16.2%), 10-14 Y.O. (10.2%), totalizing 59.5% (21,004) of hospitalizations (35,188) in these groups, also intensified, between 20-29 Y.O., with 3,956 cases (11.2%). Comparing 2010 and 2020 there was a 63.4% reduction in hospitalizations for VE and the Southeast had the highest rate of the disease (42.1%). Conclusion: The epidemiological pattern of VE in the last decade represented higher prevalence in the interval between 0 and 14 Y.O.; mainly from 1 to 4. The decrease in the last 11 years may be due to adherence to vaccination campaigns and increased vector control, while the hypothesis for the higher incidence in the Southeast is because it is the most populous region, with favorable geographical areas for viral dissemination.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the methodological quality of the literature and the risk of bias used in systematic reviews of therapies for bruxism in dentistry, applying the Amstar II qualitative guide and to answer the following question: What do we know so far about the different treatments applied for bruxism and their effectiveness, as well as what is the overall confidence of the systematic reviews evaluating this topic? Condition being studied: There is an ongoing debate about the causal factors associated with patients diagnosed with bruxism and thus various treatment approaches, so according to the available scientific evidence there is no consensus on which is the most effective. (4) (8) (10). According to several studies, occlusal splints do not currently have a scientifically proven efficacy for the management of bruxism, because they lack randomized controlled clinical studies, and should therefore be considered as a limited treatment modality, since the effect of the splints does not seem to address the cause of bruxism and serves mainly for the management of the signs and symptoms of this disorder (11) (12). Alternative therapies such as relaxation and biofeedback have been proposed for bruxism, especially in cases of daytime bruxism, which are more related to stress and anxiety. (13). There are also studies that support the use of the NTI-tssa device can be used successfully, however, it may present side effects if necessary checks and readjustments are not performed (14). Some medications can be used to decrease bruxing episodes, but some pharmacological treatments may not be safe if used for prolonged periods of time, considering the inherent side effects or risks of dependence (15).

Abstract:
Given the evidence of high 5- and 10-year survivorship rates for localized prostate cancer, the effect of treatment on symptom-related quality of life is an important consideration for men choosing among available treatment options. Two PCORI-funded studies published in the March 21, 2017 issue of JAMA compare the impact of current treatments on symptom-related quality of life for men with localized prostate cancer. Quality of life scores refer to symptoms, how much men were bothered by symptoms, or a combination of the two. The studies looked at observed outcomes from a combined total of 3,600 men for periods of two and three years following treatment. This evidence offers information that can help patients make treatment decisions.
