(LDP-PR) e os livros representantes do genero discursivo Livro Didatico de Lingua Portuguesa (LD-LP). A partir de uma perspectiva socio-historico-discursiva e empregando fontes bibliografica e documental, desenvolvemos esta pesquisa em duas etapas. Na primeira, procuramos efetuar uma reflexao teorica sobre os Generos Discursivos (BAKHTIN) e sobre como a abordagem sociointeracionista se apropria desta concepcao bakhtiniana e discute a questao da didatizacao dos generos (SCHNEUWLY e DOLZ). Na segunda, aplicamos estes pressupostos ao LDP-PR com o intuito de averiguar o encaminhamento didatico dado aos textos de generos discursivos empregados neste material didatico. A partir desta averiguacao do conteudo tematico do LDP-PR, realizada pelo trabalho com as praticas de leitura, escrita e oralidade, buscamos sustentacao para a analise deste LD como um exemplar do genero LD-LP. Nossos resultados mostram que o LDP-PR inova na escolha do conteudo tematico, mas mantem o estilo (marcado pelo emprego de discursos injuntivos, explicativos e expositivos) e a construcao composicional (de textualidade multimodal) tipicos do genero LD-LP. Creditamos a autoria multipla (constituida por professores da rede escolar), marcada pela experiencia reduzida e a merce da Secretaria de Estado da Educacao do Parana (SEED-PR) este apego ao genero consolidado.Abstract: This descriptive-explanatory research aims to investigate the dialogic relationship between the Parana‘s Public Textbook "Portuguese and Literature" (LDP-PR) and the representative books of the discursive genre of Portuguese Textbook (LP-LD). From a socio-historic-discursive perspective and by the use of bibliographical and documentary sources, we developed this research in two stages. In the first one, we carried out a theoretical reflection about the Discursive Genres (BAKHTIN) and how the social interactionist approach appropriates this Bakhtinian concept and discusses the issue of making genre educational (SCHNEUWLY and DOLZ). In the second one, we applied these assumptions to the LDP-PR with the intent of investigating the educational directions given to the texts of discursive genres employed in such a teaching materials. From this investigation of the LDP-PR‘s thematic contents, performed through the work with reading, writing and speaking skills practices, we sought support for the analysis of this LD as an exemplar of the LD-LP genre. Our results reveal that the LDP-PR innovates the choice of the thematic content but retains the style (marked by the use of injunctive, explanatory and expository discourses) and compositional construction (multimodal textuality) that is typical of the LD-LP genre. We attribute to the multiple authorship (made up of teachers from the public educational system), marked by limited experience and at the mercy of the Parana‘s State Department of Education (SEED-PR), this attachment to the consolidated genre

Bridging thrombolysis in atrial fibrillation stroke is associated with increased hemorrhagic complications without improved outcomes

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) associated ischemic stroke is associated with worse functional outcomes, less effective recanalization, and increased rates of hemorrhagic complications after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Conversely, AF is not associated with hemorrhagic complications or functional outcomes in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). This differential effect of MT and IVT in AF associated stroke raises the question of whether bridging thrombolysis increases hemorrhagic complications in AF patients undergoing MT. METHODS: This international cohort study of 22 comprehensive stroke centers analyzed patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) undergoing MT between June 1, 2015 and December 31, 2020. Patients were divided into four groups based on comorbid AF and IVT exposure. Baseline patient characteristics, complications, and outcomes were reported and compared. RESULTS: 6461 patients underwent MT for LVO. 2311 (35.8%) patients had comorbid AF. In non-AF patients, bridging therapy improved the odds of good 90 day functional outcomes (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.29, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.60, p=0.025) and did not increase hemorrhagic complications. In AF patients, bridging therapy led to significant increases in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and parenchymal hematoma type 2 (aOR 1.66, 1.07 to 2.57, p=0.024) without any benefit in 90 day functional outcomes. Similar findings were noted in a separate propensity score analysis. CONCLUSION: In this large thrombectomy registry, AF patients exposed to IVT before MT had increased hemorrhagic complications without improved functional outcomes, in contrast with non-AF patients. Prospective trials are warranted to assess whether AF patients represent a subgroup of LVO patients who may benefit from a direct to thrombectomy approach at thrombectomy capable centers

Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy for Patients With Stroke Presenting With Low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score in the Early and Extended Window

Importance: Limited data are available about the outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for real-world patients with stroke presenting with a large core infarct. Objective: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of MT for patients with large vessel occlusion and an Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) of 2 to 5. Design, setting, and participants: This retrospective cohort study used data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR), which combines the prospectively maintained databases of 28 thrombectomy-capable stroke centers in the US, Europe, and Asia. The study included 2345 patients presenting with an occlusion in the internal carotid artery or M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020. Patients were followed up for 90 days after intervention. The ASPECTS is a 10-point scoring system based on the extent of early ischemic changes on the baseline noncontrasted computed tomography scan, with a score of 10 indicating normal and a score of 0 indicating ischemic changes in all of the regions included in the score. Exposure: All patients underwent MT in one of the included centers. Main outcomes and measures: A multivariable regression model was used to assess factors associated with a favorable 90-day outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2), including interaction terms between an ASPECTS of 2 to 5 and receiving MT in the extended window (6-24 hours from symptom onset). Results: A total of 2345 patients who underwent MT were included (1175 women [50.1%]; median age, 72 years [IQR, 60-80 years]; 2132 patients [90.9%] had an ASPECTS of ≥6, and 213 patients [9.1%] had an ASPECTS of 2-5). At 90 days, 47 of the 213 patients (22.1%) with an ASPECTS of 2 to 5 had a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2 (25.6% [45 of 176] of patients who underwent successful recanalization [modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia score ≥2B] vs 5.4% [2 of 37] of patients who underwent unsuccessful recanalization; P = .007). Having a low ASPECTS (odds ratio, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.38-0.85; P = .002) and presenting in the extended window (odds ratio, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55-0.88; P = .001) were associated with worse 90-day outcome after controlling for potential confounders, without significant interaction between these 2 factors (P = .64). Conclusions and relevance: In this cohort study, more than 1 in 5 patients presenting with an ASPECTS of 2 to 5 achieved 90-day functional independence after MT. A favorable outcome was nearly 5 times more likely for patients with low ASPECTS who had successful recanalization. The association of a low ASPECTS with 90-day outcomes did not differ for patients presenting in the early vs extended MT window

Phase II, randomized, controlled trial of high-dose N-acetylcysteine in high-risk cardiac surgery patients

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of high-dose N-acetylcysteine on renal function in cardiac surgery patients at higher risk of postoperative renal failure. DESIGN: Multiblind, placebo-controlled, randomized, phase II clinical trial. SETTING: Operating rooms and intensive care units of two tertiary referral hospitals. PATIENTS: A total of 60 cardiac surgery patients at higher risk of postoperative renal failure. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were allocated to either 24 hrs of high-dose N-acetylcysteine infusion (300 mg/kg body weight in 5% glucose, 1.7 L) or placebo (5% glucose, 1.7 L). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The primary outcome measure was the absolute change in serum creatinine from baseline to peak value within the first five postoperative days. Secondary outcomes included the relative change in serum creatinine, peak serum creatinine level, serum cystatin C, and in urinary output. Further outcomes were needed for renal replacement therapy, length of ventilation, and length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital. Randomization was successful and patients were well balanced for preoperative and intraoperative characteristics. There was no significant attenuation in the increase in serum creatinine from baseline to peak when comparing N-acetylcysteine with placebo (64.5 ± 91.2 and 38.0 ± 42.4 μmol/L, respectively; p = .15). Also, there was no attenuation in the increase in serum cystatin C from baseline to peak for N-acetylcysteine compared with placebo (0.45 ± 0.43 and 0.30 ± 0.33 mg/L, respectively; p = .40). Likewise, there was no evidence for differences in any other clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS: In this phase II, randomized, controlled trial, high-dose N-acetylcysteine was no more effective than placebo in attenuating cardiopulmonary bypass-related acute renal failure in high-risk cardiac surgery patients

Prehospital Stroke Triage to Route Patients Directly to a Thrombectomy Center: New York City First‐Year Experience

Background New York City Emergency Medical Services implemented a prehospital triage protocol using a modified Speech–Los Angeles Motor Scale to identify patients with large‐vessel occlusion. Patients with Speech–Los Angeles Motor Scale ≥4 and last known well within 5 hours were routed to the nearest thrombectomy‐capable stroke center. Our aim was to describe the Speech–Los Angeles Motor Scale Triage Positive (STP) cohort and compare to a cohort that ultimately underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) but were missed by the protocol (not triaged as Speech–Los Angeles Motor Scale positive [NSTP]). Methods A prospectively collected database identified patients arriving within 5 hours from last known well between April 2019 and March 2020. STP patients (N=145) were assessed for medical history, acute stroke time metrics, and clinical accuracy. NSTP (N=65) was subdivided into those who arrived directly to a thrombectomy‐capable stroke center (direct NSTP, N=30), and those transferred to a thrombectomy‐capable stroke center (transferred NSTP, N=35). Comparisons were made between the cohorts that underwent EVT. Results In the STP cohort, stroke was diagnosed in 110 of 145 (75.9%) patients: 31 hemorrhagic, 79 ischemic. There were 45 patients (31.0%) with large vessel occlusion and 34 (23.4%) underwent EVT. STP and NSTP subgroups had no difference in first medical contact‐to‐intravenous thrombolysis (≈90 minutes) despite STP patients taking 5 minutes longer to arrive. Ambulance travel times were similar (11 minutes). First medical contact‐to‐arterial access was similar in STP (137.9 minutes) and direct NSTP (137.9 minutes) groups but significantly shorter against transferred NSTP (252.1 minutes; P<0.01). Conclusion Through the protocol, a high percentage of identified patients with large‐vessel occlusion undergo EVT with no sacrifice to intravenous thrombolysis. The increased ambulance travel time has minimal effect. As more than half the NSTP cohort required transfer for EVT, these patients would have reaped the greatest benefit. Appropriate implementation that maintains the score specificity would prevent patients with high large‐vessel occlusion likelihood from delayed thrombectomy

Protocol for a multicentre prehospital randomised controlled trial investigating tranexamic acid in severe trauma: the PATCH-Trauma trial

Introduction Haemorrhage causes most preventable prehospital trauma deaths and about a third of in-hospital trauma deaths. Tranexamic acid (TXA), administered soon after hospital arrival in certain trauma systems, is an effective therapy in preventing or managing acute traumatic coagulopathy. However, delayed administration of TXA appears to be ineffective or harmful. The effectiveness of prehospital TXA, incidence of thrombotic complications, benefit versus risk in advanced trauma systems and the mechanism of benefit remain uncertain.Methods and analysis The Pre-hospital Anti-fibrinolytics for Traumatic Coagulopathy and Haemorrhage (The PATCH-Trauma study) is comparing TXA, initiated prehospital and continued in hospital over 8 hours, with placebo in patients with severe trauma at risk of acute traumatic coagulopathy. We present the trial protocol and an overview of the statistical analysis plan. There will be 1316 patients recruited by prehospital clinicians in Australia, New Zealand and Germany. The primary outcome will be the eight-level Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) at 6 months after injury, dichotomised to favourable (GOSE 5–8) and unfavourable (GOSE 1–4) outcomes, analysed using an intention-to-treat (ITT) approach. Secondary outcomes will include mortality at hospital discharge and at 6 months, blood product usage, quality of life and the incidence of predefined adverse events.Ethics and dissemination The study was approved by The Alfred Hospital Research and Ethics Committee in Victoria and also approved in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. In New Zealand, Northern A Health and Disability Ethics Committee provided approval. In Germany, Witten/Herdecke University has provided ethics approval. The PATCH-Trauma study aims to provide definitive evidence of the effectiveness of prehospital TXA, when used in conjunction with current advanced trauma care, in improving outcomes after severe injury.Trial registration number NCT02187120
