Residuals for log-Burr XII regression models in survival analysis

In this paper, we compare three residuals to assess departures from the error assumptions as well as to detect outlying observations in log-Burr XII regression models with censored observations. These residuals can also be used for the log-logistic regression model, which is a special case of the log-Burr XII regression model. For different parameter settings, sample sizes and censoring percentages, various simulation studies are performed and the empirical distribution of each residual is displayed and compared with the standard normal distribution. These studies suggest that the residual analysis usually performed in normal linear regression models can be straightforwardly extended to the modified martingale-type residual in log-Burr XII regression models with censored data.

Multiple cranial burr holes as an alternative treatment for total scalp avulsion

Total scalp avulsion is a devastating injury in clinical practice. It often occurs in female adults, being rare in children. The standard treatment for scalp avulsion is microsurgical replantation, when feasible. Coverage becomes a major problem when replantation fails or is contraindicated, resulting in significant morbidity and requiring multiple procedures. In this article, in addition to reviewing the literature, we report a historical method for obtaining skin coverage after failure of replantation. The authors report a case of a 10-year-old girl who had her scalp totally avulsed by an agricultural machine, including her right auricle. Microsurgery scalp replantation was attempted immediately after fluid resuscitation. The surgery failed probably due to the long time interval between trauma and surgery, which resulted in total ischemic time of 11 h and consequently made vascular microanastomosis impracticable. Multiple trephination of the calvarium was performed in order to expose the diploe. After 4 weeks, granulation tissue from the holes began to cover the defect, allowing the formation of a vascular bed suitable for skin grafting. Total scalp avulsion in children is seldom reported in the literature. Therefore, its management is both difficult and challenging. The exposure of the diploe with multiple burr holes is a safe and effective method for treating this injury. It may be considered, along with skin grafting, a good therapeutic alternative to be used when microsurgical replantation fails or is not feasible.

Effect of Multiple Cranial Burr Hole Surgery on Prevention of Recurrent Ischemic Attacks in Children with Moyamoya Disease

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an uncommon cerebrovascular disorder characterized by progressive stenosis of the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery and its main branches. Direct and indirect bypass techniques have been devised with the aim of promoting neoangiogenesis. The current study aimed to investigate the role of multiple cranial burr hole (MCBH) operations in the prevention of cerebral ischemic attacks in children with MMD. Seven children suffering from progressive MMD were submitted to the MCBH and arachnoid opening technique. Ten to 20 burr holes were drilled in the fronto-temporo-parieto-occipital area of each hemisphere in each patient, depending on the site and extent of the disease. All patients were evaluated pre- and postoperatively by means of Barthel index (BI), CT, MR, angio-MR, and angiography. Patients had no recurrence of ischemic attacks postoperatively. Neoangiogenesis was observed in both hemispheres. One patient developed a persistent subdural collection after surgery, thus requiring placement of a subdural-peritoneal shunt. Postoperative BI was statistically significantly improved (P = 0.02). This report suggests that MCBH for revascularization in MMD is a simple procedure with a relatively low risk of complications and effective for preventing cerebral ischemic attacks in children. In addition, MCBH may be placed as an adjunct to other treatments for MMD.

Migrations, Exils Et Reconfigurations Identitaires Dans Aaron D'yves Thériault Et L'espérance Macadam, De Gisèle Pineau

Utilisant à la fois la méthodologie des études littéraires et celle des études culturelles, le présent travail se propose de délimiter, dans les romans L'Espérance Macadam de l'Antillaise Gisèle Pineau et Aaron du Québécois Yves Thériault, la problématique de la migration et de l'exil ainsi que la conséquente rencontre des cultures à l'origine à la trans-culturalité, en mettant en évidence de nouvelles approches qui rompent avec les paradigmes ethnocentriques et en signalant de nouveaux pactes sociaux qui fondent une culture de la paix entre les hommes.

Controle biológico de Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818) através de Tilapia nilotica (Hasselquist, 1757), em laboratório (Pulmonata, Planorbidae. Pisces, Cichlidae)

O peixe cichdeo Tilapia nilotica (Hasse/quist, 1757) I = Sarotherodon niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) foi capaz de impedir o crescimento de 4 populações de 20 espécimens (14-16 mm de diâmetro) de Biomphalaria glabrata (Say, 1818), mantidas em aquários de vidro, durante cinco semanas, em laboratório. No Aquário nº 1 foi introduzido um alevino com 55 mm de comprimento (não computada a nadadeira caudal); no de nº 2, um com 63 mm; no de nº 3, dois alevinos: com 40 e 46 mm, respectivamente; e, finalmente, no de nº 4, três espécimens: com 38,39 e 42 mm, respectivamente. Os peixes destruíram as desovas dos planorbíneos depositadas nas paredes de vidro dos aquários - impedindo, assim, as eclosões e, consequentemente, o aumento das quatro populações em estudo. Reversamente, quando retirados, as populações de planorbíneos cresceram em número. Não obstante, salienta-se a necessidade de investigações de campo, afim de avaliar a atividade predatória daquele ciclídeo em condições naturais.
