    “The object is the continuation of the subject by other means” (Boaventura Souza Santos) This text was written for the 3rd Meeting of the Seminar on Social Museology, which took place at the Museu do Homem do Nordeste [Museum of the North-eastern Man], in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, in May 2010. It is important to explain that the Seminar on Social Museology is a monthly cycle of theoretical debates organized with the aim of gathering the necessary contributions to put together a new museological model which can indeed be compatible with the practice and its end activity – to institutionally represent the culture of the north-eastern region – and also with the practice of the role of social agent henceforth given Museums by New Museology in Brazil. To these objectives one can add that of legitimizing the museum before its peers and the museological community understood here as partners of its end activity, which is that of representing the North-eastern Man, a task that can only be feasible if socialized

    Mammary neoplasms are one of the three most neoplasms common types in female domestic cats, with an occurrence of 20 cases and a frequency of 33.90% in animals aged 10 to 12 years. Factors such as the use of hormones, pseudocyesis, obesity, and a diet rich in lipids in the young phase may be a part of the etiology of this pathologyin cats. There is a high rate of malignancy in most feline mammary tumors, most being carcinomas corresponding to 42.86% of the cases. The most common benign neoplasms are adenomas. The prognosis is reserved for most cats, and death is usually caused by clinical effects secondary to the progression of the local disease (disease located in the mammarychain) or due to metastatic spread to vital organs. Thus, the diagnosis is of extreme importance for a good prognosis. The present work aimed at the epidemiological and histopathological characterization of mammary neoplasms in felines in the city of Fortaleza and its metropolitan region, analyzing data from 59 histopathological exams of mammary tissue samples of this species.As neoplasias mamárias são um dos três tipos neoplásicos mais frequentes nas fêmeas de gatos domésticos, sendo observada a ocorrência de 20 casos e frequência de 33,90% em animais com idade de 10 a 12 anos. Fatores como a utilização de hormônios, pseudociese, obesidade e alimentação rica em lipídeos na fase jovem podem estar envolvidos na etiologia desta patologia mamária em gatas. Existe um alto índice de malignidade na maioria dos tumores mamários felinos, sendo a maior parte carcinomas com 42,86% dos casos verificados. As neoplasias benignas mais comuns são os adenomas. O prognóstico é reservado para a maioria das gatas, sendo a morte geralmente causada por efeitos clínicos secundários à progressão da doença local (doença localizada na cadeia mamária) ou devido à disseminação metastática para órgãos vitais. Desta forma, o diagnóstico é de extrema importância para um bom prognóstico. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a caracterização epidemiológica e histopatológica das neoplasias mamárias em felinos no município de Fortaleza e região metropolitana, fazendo uma análise de dados de 59 exames histopatológicos de amostras de tecido mamário desta espécie

    Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a fatal disease which potentially leads to dissection or rupture through progressive enlargement of the aorta. It is usually asymptomatic and screening recommendation are limited. The gold-standard evaluation is performed by computed tomography angiography (CTA) and radiologists time-consuming assessment. Scans for other indications could help on this screening, however if acquired without contrast enhancement or with low dose protocol, it can make the clinical evaluation difficult, besides increasing the scans quantity for the radiologists. In this study, it was selected 587 unique CT scans including control and TAA patients, acquired with low and standard dose protocols, with or without contrast enhancement. A novel segmentation model, DeepVox, exhibited dice score coefficients of 0.932 and 0.897 for development and test sets, respectively, with faster training speed in comparison to models reported in the literature. The novel TAA classification model, SAVE-CT, presented accuracies of 0.930 and 0.922 for development and test sets, respectively, using only the binary segmentation mask from DeepVox as input, without hand-engineered features. These two models together are a potential approach for TAA screening, as they can handle variable number of slices as input, handling thoracic and thoracoabdominal sequences, in a fully automated contrast- and dose-independent evaluation. This may assist to decrease TAA mortality and prioritize the evaluation queue of patients for radiologists.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures, 7 table

    Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) persists as a severe global public health issue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of an in-house TB PCR (polymerase chain reaction) in sputum. Methods: DNA from sputum specimens were submitted to a nested-PCR protocol for the IS6110 region detection. PCR results were compared to those of the traditional methods for TB diagnosis, i.e., acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear microscopy and culture. We analyzed sputum samples obtained from 133 patients. Results: A total of 48 (36%) cultures yielded indeterminate results due to contamination. This high contamination rate may be explained by the fact that samples from fibrocystic patients were included in this study. Additionally, other five samples were positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Therefore, it was possible to compare 80 patients for M. tuberculosis detection. We found 14 positive samples: five presented positive results in the three methods (5/14; 35.7%), two were positive in culture and PCR (2/14; 14.3%), one was positive in AFB and PCR (1/14; 7.1%), five were positive only in PCR (5/14; 35.7%) and 1 was positive only in culture (1/14; 7.1%). Thus, positivity rates for each technique were: 7.5% for AFB (6/80), 10% for culture (8/80) and 16.25% for PCR (13/80). Among the 48 patients who had indeterminate results in sputum culture, two samples were positive in PCR. Conclusion: Considering the limitations of the traditional methods, the use of PCR as a molecular technique could be advantageous for TB diagnosis
