Abstract Objective: To review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular schwannoma. Methods: Task force members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database search, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Articles written in English or Portuguese on vestibular schwannoma were eligible for inclusion. The American College of Physicians’ guideline grading system and the American Thyroid Association’s guideline criteria were used for critical appraisal of evidence and recommendations for therapeutic interventions. Results: The topics were divided into 2 parts: (1) Diagnosis – audiologic, electrophysiologic tests, and imaging; (2) Treatment – wait and scan protocols, surgery, radiosurgery/radiotherapy, and systemic therapy. Conclusions: Decision making in VS treatment has become more challenging. MRI can diagnose increasingly smaller tumors, which has disastrous consequences for the patients and their families. It is important to develop an individualized approach for each case, which highly depends on the experience of each surgical team.

Abstract Monkeypox is an emerging infection that has spread to all continents since May 2022. It is caused by the zoonotic monkeypox virus, consisting of double-stranded DNA, belonging to the Orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family, which has high transmissibility, especially by contact with the skin, favoring its sexual transmission. This case report describes a same-sex male couple, both aged 28 years old, without comorbidities. In the index case, perioral and penile lesions started ten days before the consultation, with rapid progression and a high fever that started eight days after the appearance of the lesions. In the second case, the perioral lesions started three days after the partner; however, he remained afebrile. Both were isolated, treated with symptomatic measures, and, after ulceration, the lesions completely regressed in 14 days. Dermatologists should be aware of manifestations of monkeypox, which may include vesiculopustular lesions in areas of sexual contact, as well as oligosymptomatic cases or cases with few skin lesions.

Resumo Este artigo, em formato de relato de pesquisa de base teórico-conceitual, objetiva discutir as relações entre a filosofia da linguagem de base marxista adotada pelo Círculo de Bakhtin e os princípios bakhtinianos sobre atividade humana, linguagem e os processos de enunciação; bem como identificar as contribuições deste diálogo para as práticas de ensino na alfabetização. Tais relações destacam a natureza social e ideológica dos signos linguísticos e a interação dialógica como realidade da linguagem. Disto se depreende a necessidade de práticas alfabetizadoras em contextos interdiscursivos que apostem em modos autorais de ensinar e de aprender, a partir de estratégias didáticas contextuais e diversificadas. Conclui-se que, no campo da alfabetização, faz-se necessário um posicionamento filosófico, político e ético que garanta uma unidade de princípios e não uma uniformidade de propostas, que possibilite a inclusão para a equidade social.

Abstract This article, in a theoretical-conceptual research report format, aims to discuss the relationship between the Marxist-based philosophy of language adopted by the Bakhtin Circle and the Bakhtinian principles on human activity, language, and the enunciation processes; and to identify the contributions of this dialogue to teaching practices in literacy. Such relationships highlight the social and ideological nature of linguistic signs and dialogical interaction as a reality of language. This shows the need for literacy practices in interdiscursive contexts betting on genuine ways of teaching and learning, from contextual and diverse didactic strategies. It concludes that, in the field of literacy, having a philosophical, political, and ethical position that guarantees a unity of principles and not a uniformity of proposals, which enables inclusion for social equity, is necessary.

Resumo: Para Freud, a mulher é fortemente influenciada pelo complexo de Édipo negativo, sendo destinada a viver a condição passiva da sexualidade, assim, ele não só não encoraja a autonomia feminina, como descreve a feminilidade tendo por base o modelo masculino. Destarte, a crítica de Beauvoir à psicanálise parte da ideia de que a possibilidade de algo como um destino feminino não existe. A filósofa afirma que a condição de imanência à qual as mulheres se encontram em nossa sociedade, está pautada na socialização à qual são submetidas, privando-as da transcendência. Partindo da leitura da obra de Beauvoir, buscamos compreender melhor a situação das mulheres considerando seus contextos históricos, a fim de reivindicar suas possibilidades ontológicas da liberdade, problematizando o lugar que lhes é imposto pela cultura e reforçado pela supervalorização masculina da psicanálise freudiana.

Abstract: According to Freud, women are strongly influenced by the negative Oedipus, being destined to live the passive condition of sexuality, thus, not only does it not encourage female autonomy, but describes femininity based on the male model. In this way, Beauvoir's critique of psychoanalysis starts from the idea that the possibility of something like a female destiny does not exist. Beauvoir affirms that the condition of immanence to which women find themselves in our society, is based on the socialization to which they are submitted, depriving them of the transcendence. Starting from reading of Beauvoir's work, we seek to understand the situation of women considering their historical contexts, in order to claim their ontological possibilities of freedom, problematizing the place imposed on them by culture and reinforced by the male overvaluation of Freudian Psychoanalysis.

Resumen: Para Freud, la mujer está fuertemente influenciada por el Édipo negativo, estando destinada a vivir la condición pasiva de la sexualidad, él no solo no fomenta la autonomía femenina, sino que describe la feminidad a partir del modelo masculino. Así, la crítica de Beauvoir al psicoanálisis parte de la idea de que no existe la posibilidad de algo así como un destino femenino. La filósofa afirma que la condición de inmanencia a la que se encuentran las mujeres en nuestra sociedad, se basa en la socialización a la que están sometidas, privándolas de la trascendencia. A partir de la lectura de la obra de Beauvoir, buscamos comprender mejor la situación de las mujeres considerando sus contextos históricos, para reivindicar sus posibilidades ontológicas de libertad, problematizando el lugar que les impone la cultura y es reforzado por la sobrevaloración masculina del psicoanálisis freudiano.

ABSTRACT Objective: to know the experiences of family members of adolescents with gender incongruence. Method: this is a qualitative case study, supported by the Calgary Family Assessment and Intervention Models theoretical-methodological framework. Data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, participant observation in family groups and document analysis, with eight family members. Data analysis was performed following the precepts of content analysis. Results: with family assessment, two categories emerged: “Challenges in the face of gender transition”, which highlighted the problems related to the expectations created at birth, new names, pronouns and gender fluidity and the fear of prejudice, and “Supporting aspects in the face of the possibility of gender transition”, which revealed family support as a strong point. Conclusion: knowing the experiences allowed us to understand the challenges that family members face when facing physical and emotional aspects of their children’s gender transition. It was noticed that the act of seeking help and offering support is important for a healthy transition. The findings provided a better understanding of family issues and provided suggestions on how nursing can develop care for this population.

Abstract Introduction Approximately 10 million people in Brazil have some hearing impairment. Because of the natural progression of hearing impairment to presbycusis, coupled with the increasing number of young people exposed to the risk factors for early hearing loss, the social impact of hearing impairment is high. Objective A team of otolaryngologists and speech therapists conducted an unprecedented worldwide campaign in the primary health sector, aiming to reduce the global burden of hearing impairment with preventive measures. Methods A cultural information campaign called “Ear Parade” was developed. It lasted 3 months, during which São Paulo received information on the prevention of deafness and the importance of hearing rehabilitation to reduce prejudice against the use of hearing aids. Results The information was relayed through an art exhibition of public paintings, including 62 sculptures of ears, 2.40 meters high, which colored the city, elucidating the beauty of hearing. The media coverage impacted 170 million people, and at the end of the campaign, a nongovernmental organization was established to raise resources for hearing rehabilitation. In addition, an auction of the ear sculptures raised money toward hearing aid batteries and stem-cell research for hearing. Conclusion The present paper presents the effects of this campaign. Information dissemination is a powerful preventive measure for the primary healthcare system to reduce future treatment expenditures.

ABSTRACT Purpose: Proteomic biomarkers have been emerging as alternative methods to the gold standard procedures of cystoscopy and urine cytology in the diagnosis and surveillance of bladder cancer (BC). This review aims to update the state of the art of proteomics research and diagnosis in BC. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the current literature related to BC research on urinary, tissue, blood and cell line proteomics, using the Pubmed database. Findings: Two urinary protein biomarkers are FDA-approved (NMP22® and BTA® tests), only if performed along with cystoscopy for surveillance after initial diagnosis, but not in the primary diagnostic setting due to high false-positive rates in case of infections, stones and hematuria. There are a great number of non-FDA approved proteins being studied, with good preliminary results; panels of proteins seem valuable tools to be refined in ongoing trials. Blood proteins are a bigger challenge, because of the complexity of the serum protein profile and the scarcity of blood proteomic studies in BC. Previous studies with the BC tissue proteome do not correlate well with the urinary proteome, likely due to the tumor heterogeneity. Cell line proteomic research helps in the understanding of basic mechanisms that drive BC development and progression; the main difficulty is culturing low-grade tumors in vitro, which represents the majority of BC tumors in clinical practice. Conclusion: Protein biomarkers have promising value in the diagnosis, surveillance and prognostic of BC. Urine is the most appropriate body fluid for biomarker research in BC due to its easiness of sampling, stability and enrichment of shed and secreted tumor-specific proteins. Panels of biomarkers may exhibit higher sensitivity than single proteins in the diagnosis of BC at larger populations due to clinical and tumor heterogeneity. Prospective clinical trials are warranted to validate the relevance of proteomic data in the clinical management of BC.

ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma is an aggressive malignancy that frequently recurs/disseminates, but metastases to the genitourinary tract are rare. Only eight cases of Merkel cell carcinoma metastatic to the testis are reported. We describe the ninth case of this event and provide a review of the literature. A 58-year-old man diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma of the wrist, presented, 37 months later, a recurrence in the form of a testicular metastasis. The tumor consisted of a monotonous proliferation of small, blue, round cells, with immunoexpression of neuroendocrine markers and the typical dot-like paranuclear immunostaining for cytokeratin 20, in the absence of immunostaining for cytokeratin 7. The patient is alive with no evidence of disease. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of metastatic dissemination to the testis since genital examination/imaging is not part of routine follow-up for these patients, but timely orchiectomy may be curative.

ABSTRACT Objective: Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have a high incidence of pubertal and growth delay. In girls with CF, pubertal delay has an important psychological impact. Still, only a few studies have explored the occurrence of pubertal delay in girls with CF. The aims of this study were to compare the pubertal development of girls with CF compared with healthy controls regarding Tanner staging and pelvic ultrasound and, in girls with CF, correlate the findings with those of spirometry, body mass index, Shwachman-Kulczycki score (SKS), and genotyping. Subjects and methods: This was a cross-sectional, case-control study including 35 girls with CF aged 6-17 years and following up at the Pediatric Pulmonology Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary hospital. These patients were compared with 59 healthy controls who had undergone pelvic ultrasound as part of another study conducted by the same group. Girls with CF were consecutively enrolled in the study during their annual routine check-up visit. Data collected in the CF group included spirometry and anthropometric results, SKS values, bone age, occurrence of current cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization, history of meconium ileus, genotype, ultrasound parameters, and Tanner stage. Results: Pelvic ultrasound findings and Tanner stage reflected less pubertal development in girls with CF compared with healthy controls. Pubertal stage in patients with CF who presented CFRD (3.17 ± 1.16), had chronic colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.10 ± 1.10), or were homozygous for the F508del mutation (1.91 ± 1.30) was more delayed than in controls (3.41 ± 1.41). Tanner stage correlated with age at menarche, bone age, and anthropometric and ultrasound data. Conclusions: Girls with CF presented a delay in pubertal development evaluated by Tanner stage and ultrasound parameters, which was more evident in the presence of comorbidities.

Abstract As human relations change the way they develop social support, social networks have become crucial to human interaction and overall subjective welfare. Critical social networks, such as Facebook, have developed hundreds upon millions of virtual communities and influence the way individuals interact with one another. This literature review aims to explore the following positive and negative implications of the use of Facebook. a) Facebook plays a negative role in the users' welfare and self-esteem. b) Facebook is also used as a communication tool to positively impact ongoing social support or increase the users' feeling of self-worth. c) Facebook can influence one's ability to detach from the external definitions of self and dissolve the rigid link between oneself and others, enabling transcendence, leading to an increased sense of self-worth. d) Lastly, the five-factor model of personality can be used to explore online and offline behavior and its impact on Self Esteem. Results of these final dimensions indicated that both (i) Neuroticism and (ii) Extraversion were positively associated with Facebook behavioral addiction, whereas (iii) Openness to Experience, (iv) Agreeableness, and (v) Conscientiousness were negatively associated with a Facebook behavioral addiction. These positive associations suggest thematic relevance and are noteworthy for future academic research. This review serves as a foundation for assessing current findings and offering recommendations for future exploration, encouraging the academic community to conduct further research as the new era of technology unfolds.

RESUMO Objetivos: compreender a ação do enfermeiro que realiza acolhimento da pessoa em sofrimento mental em Unidade de Emergência Referenciada em um hospital universitário. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa, fundamentada na fenomenologia social de Alfred Schütz. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre dezembro de 2015 e janeiro de 2016, por meio de entrevistas fenomenológicas com 13 enfermeiros de uma Unidade de Emergência. Resultados: os enfermeiros acolhem de acordo com suas experiências prévias, identificam facilmente queixas biológicas e, quando reconhecem sinais e sintomas psiquiátricos, encaminham ao psiquiatra. Apresentam dúvidas sobre o que fazer, portanto, esperam ser qualificados para tal ação, acreditam que um protocolo poderia ajudar, bem como necessitam de mais tempo. Considerações finais: a compreensão do tipo vivido do enfermeiro que acolhe a pessoa em sofrimento mental possibilitou, neste estudo, o reconhecimento da necessidade de pesquisas e intervenções que foquem na articulação da dimensão biológica, psíquica e social na ação do acolhimento.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand actions of nurses who care for people person with mental illness at a Referenced Emergency Unit in a university hospital. Methods: a qualitative research based on Alfred Schütz’s social phenomenology. Data collection was performed between December 2015 and January 2016 through phenomenological interviews with 13 nurses from an Emergency Unit. Results: nurses embrace according to their previous experiences. They easily identify biological complaints and, when they recognize psychiatric signs and symptoms, refer them to the psychiatrist. They raise doubts about what to do, so they expect to be qualified for such action, believing that a protocol could help as well as they need more time. Final considerations: the understanding of the lived type of nurse who embraces people with mental distress made possible in this study need recognition for research and interventions that focus on biological, psychic and social dimension articulation at embracement.

O projeto “Educação para a cidadania digital e participação democrática” envolveu cerca de 200 crianças de Pré-escolar e 1º Ciclo, suas famílias, professoras e outros membros das comunidades escolar e educativa de Caneças, concelho de Odivelas, distrito de Lisboa. Assumindo como metodologia a investigação-ação, teve como objetivo central compreender em que medida uma ação concertada da escola, das famílias e da comunidade contribui para a preparação de crianças, dos três aos nove anos, para o exercício de uma cidadania digital ativa. Este artigo centra-se nas atividades de participação social das crianças, através dos média, tradicionais e digitais, envolvendo atividades marcadas pela transversalidade entre os contextos de aprendizagem formais, não-formais e informais. Os resultados mostram que a participação social das crianças através dos média aumentou, tendo evoluído paulatinamente, da produção de conteúdos de média tradicionais (jornal escolar) para a produção de conteúdos digitais (vídeo). Revelam ainda que um modelo de investigação-ação, efetivamente adaptado ao contexto e em função da prévia caracterização deste, é uma metodologia adequada ao desenvolvimento deste tipo de projetos. Mas o adequado desenvolvimento implica ainda apoio da direção da escola, apoio sustentado dos investigadores aos docentes e o desejável envolvimento de jornalistas e/ou outros profissionais de média.

The project “Educação para a cidadania digital e participação democrática” [Digital citizenship education for democratic participation], which began in 2015, currently involves around 200 kindergarten and primary school children, their families, teachers and other members of the Caneças educational community, a neighbourhood in Odivelas, Lisbon. The project's methodology is action research, its objective is to understand how a coordinated action by a school, families and the community, contributes to enabling three to nine-year-old children to become active digital citizens. This paper focuses on social participation activities of children through traditional and digital media and involves activities that include formal, non-formal and informal learning contexts. Results show that social participation of children through the media increased and gradually evolved from producing traditional media content (school newspaper) to producing digital content (video). They also evidence that action research methodology, adjusted to context and deriving from prior understanding of the context, is an adequate methodology for developing this type of project. However, its adequate implementation implies the support of the school board, researchers' support to the teachers and the involvement of journalists and/or other media professionals.

Abstract: This work explores and describes the profiles and strategies created by, especially, middle-class young individuals from Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (BAMA) on the geo-social application Tinder to look for sexual and affective contacts among geographically close people. On the methodological level, the data was obtained through two ad hoc accounts, which were used to carry out a virtual ethnography that analyzed 1.500 profiles, and 20 interviews conducted to users. The results were, that three types of profiles can be distinguished, in accordance to their most prominent capital (economic, cultural or erotic). In the first, the economic capital profile highlights images and personal texts showing elegant goods, particularly tourism capital, and states traveling as their main hobby, passion or identity mark. The second type, the cultural capital, is characterized by showing off higher education or university degrees, referring to languages mastered, by using expressions coming from English and by referring to frequent cultural consumption. In the last one, the erotic capital, textual and visual resources are focused on building a desirable corporality through portraying seductive physical and/or healthy attributes and habits, through trendy physical activities or habits related to alternative or new age philosophies. Finally, on the one hand, it is stated that sex-affective choices tend to be equaled to immediate consumption choices; on the other hand, that the management of ‘I’, linked to a regulated, calculated exhibition of themselves through social networks, exacerbated on dating apps, where the general ‘like’ is not the only most sought-after reaction; instead, a specific like from a potential new couple is especially sought-after.

Resumen: Este trabajo explora y describe perfiles y estrategias que construyen, especialmente, jóvenes de sectores medios del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA) en la aplicación geosocial Tinder, orientada a la búsqueda de contactos sexoafectivos entre personas geográficamente cercanas. A nivel metodológico, se crearon dos cuentas ad hoc con las que se realizó una etnografía virtual en la que se analizaron 1.500 perfiles y se entrevistaron a 20 usuarios. Entre los resultados, se distinguen tres tipos de perfiles, según el capital más destacado: económico, cultural o erótico. En el primero, asociado al capital económico, se enfatizan las imágenes y textos personales que exhiben bienes distinguidos, en particular capital turístico, y se señala que viajar es su principal hobby, pasión o aspecto identitario. En el segundo, centrado en el capital cultural, se mencionan títulos terciarios o universitarios obtenidos o en curso, se alude a idiomas que se dominan, se utilizan expresiones en inglés y se enumeran consumos culturales frecuentes. En el último, focalizado en el capital erótico, los recursos visuales y textuales se concentran en construir una corporalidad deseada mediante la representación de atributos físicos seductores y de hábitos deportivos y saludables. Para esto, se presentan prácticas vinculadas a actividades físicas de moda o a hábitos relacionados con filosofías alternativas o new age. Por último, por un lado, se postula que las elecciones sexoafectivas tienden a equipararse a elecciones inmediatas de consumo; por otro, que la gestión del yo, vinculada a la exhibición regulada y calculada de sí mismo vía plataformas de redes sociales, se exacerba en las apps de citas, donde ya no solo se busca un «me gusta» generalizado, sino un concreto like de una pareja potencial.

Resumo: Este trabalho explora e descreve perfis e estratégias que são construídos, especialmente por jovens dos setores médios da Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA) no aplicativo geossocial Tinder, orientado para a procura de contatos sexoafetivos entre pessoas geograficamente próximas. No nível metodológico, foram criadas duas contas ad hoc com as quais foi realizada uma etnografia virtual na que foram analisados 1.500 perfis e entrevistados 20 usuários. Entre os resultados, foram distinguidos três tipos de perfis, segundo o capital mais destacado: econômico, cultural e erótico. No primeiro, associado ao capital econômico, são destacadas as imagens e textos pessoais que exibem bens elegantes, em particular o capital turístico, indicando que viajar é o seu principal hobby, paixão ou aspecto identitário. No segundo, centrado no capital cultural, são mencionados títulos terciários ou universitários obtidos ou em andamento, indicando os idiomas que dominam, as expressões em inglês utilizadas e a enumeração dos consumos culturais frequentes. No último, focalizado no capital erótico, os recursos visuais e textuais se concentram na construção de uma corporalidade desejadas por meio da representação de atributos físicos sedutores e de hábitos esportivos e saudáveis. Para isto, são apresentadas práticas relacionadas às atividades físicas na moda ou hábitos relacionados com filosofias alternativas ou new age. Por último, por um lado postulamos que as escolhas sexoafetivas tendem a ser equiparadas às escolhas imediatas de consumo; por outro lado, que a gestão do eu, ligada à exibição regulada e calculada de si mesmo via plataformas de redes sociais, é exacerbada nos aplicativos de encontros, onde já não é procurado apenas um “curtir” generalizado, senão um concreto like de um potencial casal.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi o de caracterizar a produção recente dos estudos feministas da deficiência (Feminist disability studies), com o foco na intersecção entre gênero e deficiência. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura internacional na qual foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos em revistas disponíveis no portal de periódicos da CAPES. Os artigos analisados ressaltam que os modelos de compreensão da deficiência têm efeitos sociais e políticos nas formas de se pensar em questões como a corporeidade, a sexualidade, o cuidado e a interdependência. Além disso, as produções estudadas apontam que a inclusão da deficiência como categoria de análise a ser considerada nos estudos e práticas sociais tem um potencial analítico e político.

Abstract: This study aimed to characterize the recent production of feminist disability studies, focusing on the intersection between gender and disability. Therefore, a review of the international literature was carried out, in which articles published in the last five years in journals available in the CAPES journal portal were included. The analyzed articles emphasize that the models of understanding disability have social and political effects in the ways of thinking about issues such as corporeality, sexuality, care and interdependence. Moreover, the studied productions point out that the inclusion of disability as a category of analysis to be considered in studies and social practices has an analytical and political potential.
