Representations of multimeasures via multivalued Bartle-Dunford-Schwartz integral

An integral for a scalar function with respect to a multimeasure $N$ taking its values in a locally convex space is introduced. The definition is independent of the selections of $N$ and is related to a functional version of the Bartle-Dunford-Schwartz integral with respect to a vector measure presented by Lewis. Its properties are studied together with its application to Radon-Nikodym theorems in order to represent as an integrable derivative the ratio of two general multimeasures or two $d_H$-multimeasures; equivalent conditions are provided in both cases.Comment: we have changed the title of the articl

Una experiencia de articulación universitaria

El artículo aborda una experiencia de articulación curricular, entre carreras de arte de distintas universidades de Argentina, a partir de la propuesta emanada desde el poder central, la Secretaría de Políticas Universitarias. La articulación de carreras de arte apuntaría a acortar los estudios, a solucionar problemas de deserción, a flexibilizar los diseños de las carreras. En este sentido, la articulación se configura como el principal instrumento para conformar un sistema más homogéneo que tienda a favorecer la movilidad y la retención de estudiantes. Por otra parte, el diseño troncal con sistema de créditos y alto grado de interdisciplinariedad resultaría más adecuado para la elección tardía pero más definida de la carrera y favorecería los intercambios de recursos, enriqueciendo el trabajo interinstitucional entre docentes y estudiantes. Asimismo, se facilita la integración de espacios curriculares, el análisis comparativo de contenidos disciplinares, las actividades prácticas de los talleres, propias de los lenguajes artísticos, y las estrategias de enseñanza y evaluación con pares de otras universidades. La experiencia fue abordada con gran entusiasmo y derivó en la revisión de los planes de estudios de algunas de estas instituciones y, en el caso de las carreras de danza, en la conformación de una Red Universitaria de Danza que involucra universidades nacionales y de América del Sur

Linfoma não-Hodgkin, manifestação no sistema estomatognático – Relato de caso clínico

Linfomas são transformações neoplásicas de células linfoides, o Linfoma Não-Hodgkin raramente ocorre na cavidade oral, os casos intraorais podem manifestar-se como inchaço, dor, dormência, mobilidade dentária ou linfadenopatia cervical, os achados radiográficos podem assemelhar-se a osteomielites, neoplasias secundárias ou lesões odontogênicas. Pode ocorrer aumento de volume em tecido mole e não cicatrização após extrações dentárias - sinais suspeitos de malignidade. Os linfomas são lesões malignas agressivas, com alto potencial de cura através de quimioterapia associada ou não à radioterapia, se diagnosticados precocemente.  A cirurgia geralmente não é indicada. O prognóstico é bom para doenças localizadas, sendo menos favorável para doença disseminada. Cabe ao cirurgião-dentista diagnosticar manifestações estomatognáticas, contribuindo para o tratamento médico efetivo. O objetivo deste estudo é o relato de caso clínico de paciente com lesão osteolítica na mandíbula, com diagnóstico de Linfoma não-Hodgkin difuso de grandes células B a partir da investigação clínica multidisciplinar

A case report of myoid gonadal stromal tumor treated with testis sparing surgery

Background: Myoid gonadal stromal tumors (MGST) of the testis represent a very rare finding. They are an emerging clinicopathological entity with specific features and identity. Nowadays, pathological recognition and diagnosis of MGSTs still represents a difficult challenge in most cases and there are no data of specific radiological features of these tumors expect for what seen by ultrasound; besides a conservative surgical approach was never performed to treat these lesions.Case Description: We present the case of a 20-year-old young man patient with symptoms suspicious for left varicocele, who was incidentally diagnosed with right testicular nodule via scrotal doppler ultrasound powered with contrast enhancement infusion and subsequent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. Then, lesion was treated through a testis sparing surgical approach. Histopathology, which included an external revision by an experienced Center, revealed a MGST with benign features, so that no further treatment was considered. 3 and 12 months after surgery a contrast enhancement ultrasound was performed with no evidence of recurrence.Conclusions: Previous reported cases of MGST were all difficult to characterize as a specific pathological entity; treatment usually applied was radical orchiectomy and a subsequent total Body CT was performed for staging purpose. No metastatic spreading nor recurrence were ever reported. Considering the favorable behavior of this pathologic entity, testis-sparing surgery with no radiation exposure during follow-up is a safe and effective strategy

Detection of ST1702 Escherichia coli blaNDM-5 and blaCMY-42 genes positive isolates from a Northern Italian hospital

We describe two multi drug-resistant (MDR) carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli clinical isolates from an acute hospital in Milan. Both strains, isolated from a surgical wound sample and a surveillance rectal swab respectively, were positive for a blaNDM-type gene by Xpert Carba-R test. The whole-genome sequence characterization disclosed several resistance determinants: blaNDM-5, blaCMY-42, blaTEM-198, rmtB, mphA. The two isolates belonged to phylogenetic group A, sequence type (ST) 1702 and serotype O89:H9. PCR-based replicon typing and conjugation assay demonstrated an IncI1 plasmid localization for both blaNDM-5 and blaCMY-42 genes. This is the first report of a ST1702 NDM-5 and CMY-42- producing E. coli clone in Italy

Compartmental tongue surgery for intermediate-advanced squamous cell carcinoma: A multicentric study

Background: A multicentric study was conducted on technical reproducibility of compartmental tongue surgery (CTS) in advanced tongue cancers (OTSCC) and comparison to standard wide margin surgery (SWMS). Methods: We studied 551 patients with OTSCC treated by CTS and 50 by SWMS. Oncological outcomes were analyzed. A propensity score was performed to compare survival endpoints for the two cohorts. Results: In the CTS group, survival and prognosis were significantly associated with positive lymph-nodes, extranodal extension, depth of invasion and involvement of the soft tissue connecting the tongue primary tumor to neck lymph nodes (T-N tract), independently from the center performing the surgery. SWMS versus CTS showed a HR Cause-Specific Survival (CSS) of 3.24 (95% CI: 1.71-6.11; p < 0.001); HR Loco-Regional Recurrence Free Survival (LRRFS) of 2.54 (95% CI: 1.47-4.40; p < 0.001); HR Overall Survival (OS) of 0.11 (95% CI: 0.01-0.77; p = 0.03). Conclusion: Performing the CTS could provide better CSS and LRRFS than SWMS regardless of the center performing the surgery, in advanced OTSSC
