1. Smartphone-Based Screening for Cardiovascular Diseases: A Trend?
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. People living in vulnerable and poor places such as slums, rural areas and remote locations have difficulty in accessing medical care and diagnostic tests. In addition, given the COVID-19 pandemic, we are witnessing an increase in the use of telemedicine and non-invasive tools for

2. Rhinological Status of Patients with Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Abstract Introduction Studying the state of the nasal cavity and its sinuses and the morphometric parameters of the inferior nasal conchae, as well as a comparative analysis of obtained values in patients with primary (PANDO) and secondary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (SALDO), is relevant. Objective To study the rhinological status of patients wi

3. Low-cost Colonoscopic Simulator and Colonoscope to Train Basic Skills in Colonoscopy during Undergraduate Studies
Abstract Objective To develop a low-cost simulator model and a colonoscope with materials that are easily accessible to offer training on colonoscopy skills during undergraduate studies. Since this is the procedure of choice for colorectal cancer screening, the general practitioner must be able to recognize its main indications, preparation, and complicatio

4. Enuresis and upper airway obstruction: BNP and ADH hormones behavior before and after airway surgery
ABSTRACT Introduction: Upper airway obstruction (UAO) is a common condition in all pediatric population, with a 27% prevalence. Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) is a condition related to UAO in 8% to 47% of these children. The specific pathophysiological mechanism of this bond is not well understood. Some authors suggest a connection betwee

5. Efficacy of cabergoline add-on therapy in patients with acromegaly resistance to somatostatin analogs treatment and the review of literature
ABSTRACT Objective: It is reported that adding cabergoline to somatostatin analog (SSA) normalizes IGF-1 levels approximately in one-third of patients with acromegaly. We investigated the effect of combination therapy and potential predictors of response in patients with acromegaly who do not respond to SSA therapy alone. Subjects and methods: Fifty acrome

6. Epididymal disjunction anomalies in undescended testis – a factor associated with spermatic obstruction
ABSTRACT Background: To analyze the incidence of epididymal anomalies (EAs) associated to spermatic obstruction in patients with undescended testis (UT) according to testicular position and age. Materials and Methods: We studied 87 patients (110 testis) with cryptorchidism and analyzed the presence of EAs correlated with the testicular position, age and pa

7. Numerical formulation for nonlinear analysis of concrete and steel shells with deformable connections
Abstract A two-dimensional interface finite element capable of associating flat shell elements positioned one above the other was developed. The implemented interface element can physically simulate the contact between the flat shell elements and connect the reference planes of the shell elements above and below it. The formulation presented allows considera

8. CONFOUNDING LETHE IN THE MOYOLA: HEANEY, VIRGIL AND THE CULTURAL UNCONSCIOUS
Abstract This essay discusses Seamus Heaney’s ‘Route 110’, from Human Chain, as an example of life writing as embodied in the very specific genre of poetry. His use of Virgil’s Aeneid Book VI as a type of cultural unconscious is examined, and each of the works are viewed as tesserae, which are brought together as a type of mosaic through translation

9. Serum tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis levels are elevated in schizophrenia
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess serum Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) concentrations to determine whether changes in patients with schizophrenia could have etiopathogenetic importance. Since very little research has addressed the connection between the inflammatory marker TWEAK and schizophrenia, we wanted to

10. FETISHIZED READING AND WRITING IN THE ENGLISH PATIENT AND ATONEMENT FILM ADAPTATIONS
Abstract Reading and writing-related objects, whether in the form of books, letters, or typewriters, are central elements in the films The English Patient, by Anthony Minghella (1996), and Atonement, by Joe Wright (2007), both adapted from novels. By drawing similarities between these two adaptations (Hutcheon 2013; Elleström 2017), the present text illustr

11. POSTHUMANITY IN DELILLO’S ZERO K: THE RISING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN IDENTITY AND TECHNOLOGY
Abstract In Zero K, DeLillo revisits the ever-increasing connection between identity and technology. However, he does so in a unique way, adding (im)mortality issues to an already complex mix. As a result, DeLillo not only explores the intricacies of our present context, but also provides a bleak picture of what could be our posthuman future. This paper exam

12. First-Principles Calculations of a New Semi-Conductive Carbon Allotrope Named ABF-Carbon
Carbon is an extremely versatile element and can generate a plethora of structures with distinct properties. Proposing new possible metastable allotropic structures for carbon has been the subject of increasing interest over the past few years. In this contribution, we present a new carbon allotrope, named ABF-Carbon, based on the connection of spiropentadie
