(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

    Pneumoperitoneum from gas gangrene of the pancreas: Three unusual findings in a single case

    No full text
    A 62-year-old man was first seen with acute pancreatitis with diffuse intrapancreatic gas and pneumoperitoneum. An immediate exploratory operation revealed diffuse pancreatic necrosis but no perforated viscus; postoperatively, the patient rapidly died. This case represents a constellation of extremely rare findings: Clostridium perfringens infection of the pancreas, pancreatic emphysema or "gas gangrene," and pneumoperitoneum without a perforated viscus.

    Establishing an enduring Military Trauma Mortality Review: Misconceptions and lessons learned.

    No full text
    Under direction from the Defense Health Agency, subject matter experts (SMEs) from the Joint Trauma System, Armed Forces Medical Examiner System, and civilian sector established the Military Trauma Mortality Review process. To establish the most empirically robust process, these SMEs used both qualitative and quantitative methods published in a series of peer-reviewed articles over the last 3 years. Most recently, the Military Mortality Review process was implemented for the first time on all battle-injured service members attached to the United States Special Operations Command from 2001 to 2018. The current Military Mortality Review process builds on the strengths and limitations of important previous work from both the military and civilian sector. To prospectively improve the trauma care system and drive preventable death to the lowest level possible, we present the main misconceptions and lessons learned from our 3-year effort to establish a reliable and sustainable Military Trauma Mortality Review process. These lessons include the following: (1) requirement to use standardized and appropriate lexicon, definitions, and criteria; (2) requirement to use a combination of objective injury scoring systems, forensic information, and thorough SME case review to make injury survivability and death preventability determinations; (3) requirement to use nonmedical information to make reliable death preventability determinations and a comprehensive list of opportunities for improvement to reduce preventable deaths within the trauma care system; and (4) acknowledgment that the military health system still has gaps in current infrastructure that must be addressed to globally and continuously implement the process outlined in the Military Trauma Mortality Review process in the future.

    Nonfatal motor vehicle related injuries among deployed US Service members: Characteristics, trends, and risks for limb amputations.

    No full text
    BACKGROUND: Motor vehicle-related (MVR) incidents are important causes of morbidity among deployed US service members (SMs). Nonbattle MVR injuries are usually similar to civilian MVR injuries, while battle MVR injuries are often unique due to the blast effects from precipitating explosive mechanisms. Our primary objective was to describe the characteristics and trends of nonfatal MVR injuries sustained by deployed US SMs. A second objective was to assess the association between mechanism of injury (i.e., explosive vs. nonexplosive) and limb amputation. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis using data from the Department of Defense Trauma Registry collected from October 2001 to December 2018. Descriptive statistics were reported stratified by mechanism of injury (explosive vs. nonexplosive). The association between mechanism of injury and limb amputation was assessed using logistic regression models. RESULTS: There were 3,119 US casualties who sustained nonfatal MVR injuries, 2,380 (76.3%) SMs sustained nonexplosive MVR injuries while 739 (23.7%) sustained explosive MVR injuries. Of all MVR casualties, 2,085 (66.9%) were in Iraq or Syria and 1034 (33.1%) in Afghanistan. The annual prevalence of nonfatal MVR battle casualties was highest in Iraq and Syria from 2003 to 2009 and Afghanistan from 2009 to 2014, ranging overall 15 to 50 MVR casualties per 1,000 wounded in action. There were 92 limb amputations associated with MVR incidents. Compared with nonexplosive MVR mechanisms, explosive MVR mechanisms had higher association with limb amputation (adjusted odds ratio, 2.6; confidence interval, 1.7-3.9), even after adjusting for injury year and Injury Severity Score (AOR, 2.1; confidence interval: 1.4-3.4). CONCLUSION: Motor vehicle-related incidents are an important cause of injury in US military operations. Compared with nonexplosive MVR incidents, explosive MVR incidents result in more severe injuries, and have a higher associated risk of limb amputation. Continued efforts to improve injury prevention through protective equipment and medical training specific to MVR injuries are needed.

    Military Preventable Death Conceptual Framework: A Systematic Approach for Reducing Battlefield Mortality.

    No full text
    The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Report on Zero Preventable Deaths highlighted the need for a military and civilian partnership to take lessons learned from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and incorporate them into a national learning trauma care system. One of the specific objectives in the report was to establish military preventable death metrics. Upon further inspection, it became apparent that the Department of Defense did not have an established methodology to reliably estimate and report preventable death metrics and opportunities to improve the military trauma care system. Over the last year, clinical and non-clinical subject matter experts from the Joint Trauma System and Armed Forces Medical Examiners System began the process of establishing a standard military preventable death review process to meet the objective outlined in the report. Based on an assessment to understand methodological best practices for preventable death reviews, this manuscript presents the conceptual framework that is guiding our effort to establish the first ever battle-related mortality surveillance system with preventable death metrics and opportunities to improve the trauma care system

    The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored molecule CD59 has been implicated in the modulation of T cell responses, but the underlying molecular mechanism of CD59 influencing T cell signaling remained unclear. Here we analyzed Jurkat T cells stimulated via anti-CD3ε- or anti-CD59-coated surfaces, using time-resolved single-cell Ca(2+) imaging as a read-out for stimulation. This analysis revealed a heterogeneous Ca(2+) response of the cell population in a stimulus-dependent manner. Further analysis of T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 deficient or overexpressing cells showed that CD59-mediated signaling is strongly dependent on TCR/CD3 surface expression. In protein co-patterning and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching experiments no direct physical interaction was observed between CD59 and CD3 at the plasma membrane upon anti-CD59 stimulation. However, siRNA-mediated protein knock-downs of downstream signaling molecules revealed that the Src family kinase Lck and the adaptor molecule linker of activated T cells (LAT) are essential for both signaling pathways. Furthermore, flow cytometry measurements showed that knock-down of Lck accelerates CD3 re-expression at the cell surface after anti-CD59 stimulation similar to what has been observed upon direct TCR/CD3 stimulation. Finally, physically linking Lck to CD3ζ completely abolished CD59-triggered Ca(2+) signaling, while signaling was still functional upon direct TCR/CD3 stimulation. Altogether, we demonstrate that Lck mediates signal transmission from CD59 to the TCR/CD3 pathway in Jurkat T cells, and propose that CD59 may act via Lck to modulate T cell responses

    Patterns of Anatomic Injury in Critically Injured Combat Casualties: A Network Analysis.

    No full text
    A mortality review of death caused by injury requires a determination of injury survivability prior to a determination of death preventability. If injuries are nonsurvivable, only non-medical primary prevention strategies have potential to prevent the death. Therefore, objective measures are needed to empirically inform injury survivability from complex anatomic patterns of injury. As a component of injury mortality reviews, network structures show promise to objectively elucidate survivability from complex anatomic patterns of injury resulting from explosive and firearm mechanisms. In this network analysis of 5,703 critically injured combat casualties, patterns of injury among fatalities from explosive mechanisms were associated with both a higher number and severity of anatomic injuries to regions such as the extremities, abdomen, and thorax. Patterns of injuries from a firearm were more isolated to individual body regions with fatal patterns involving more severe injuries to the head and thorax. Each injury generates a specific level of risk as part of an overall anatomic pattern to inform injury survivability not always captured by traditional trauma scoring systems. Network models have potential to further elucidate differences between potentially survivable and nonsurvivable anatomic patterns of injury as part of the mortality review process relevant to improving both the military and civilian trauma care systems

    IMPORTANCE: Prehospital blood product transfusion in trauma care remains controversial due to poor-quality evidence and cost. Sequential expansion of blood transfusion capability after 2012 to deployed military medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) units enabled a concurrent cohort study to focus on the timing as well as the location of the initial transfusion. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of prehospital transfusion and time to initial transfusion with injury survival. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Retrospective cohort study of US military combat casualties in Afghanistan between April 1, 2012, and August 7, 2015. Eligible patients were rescued alive by MEDEVAC from point of injury with either (1) a traumatic limb amputation at or above the knee or elbow or (2) shock defined as a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mm Hg or a heart rate greater than 120 beats per minute. EXPOSURES: Initiation of prehospital transfusion and time from MEDEVAC rescue to first transfusion, regardless of location (ie, prior to or during hospitalization). Transfusion recipients were compared with nonrecipients (unexposed) for whom transfusion was delayed or not given. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Mortality at 24 hours and 30 days after MEDEVAC rescue were coprimary outcomes. To balance injury severity, nonrecipients of prehospital transfusion were frequency matched to recipients by mechanism of injury, prehospital shock, severity of limb amputation, head injury, and torso hemorrhage. Cox regression was stratified by matched groups and also adjusted for age, injury year, transport team, tourniquet use, and time to MEDEVAC rescue. RESULTS: Of 502 patients (median age, 25 years [interquartile range, 22 to 29 years]; 98% male), 3 of 55 prehospital transfusion recipients (5%) and 85 of 447 nonrecipients (19%) died within 24 hours of MEDEVAC rescue (between-group difference, -14% [95% CI, -21% to -6%]; P = .01). By day 30, 6 recipients (11%) and 102 nonrecipients (23%) died (between-group difference, -12% [95% CI, -21% to -2%]; P = .04). For the 386 patients without missing covariate data among the 400 patients within the matched groups, the adjusted hazard ratio for mortality associated with prehospital transfusion was 0.26 (95% CI, 0.08 to 0.84, P = .02) over 24 hours (3 deaths among 54 recipients vs 67 deaths among 332 matched nonrecipients) and 0.39 (95% CI, 0.16 to 0.92, P = .03) over 30 days (6 vs 76 deaths, respectively). Time to initial transfusion, regardless of location (prehospital or during hospitalization), was associated with reduced 24-hour mortality only up to 15 minutes after MEDEVAC rescue (median, 36 minutes after injury; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.17 [95% CI, 0.04 to 0.73], P = .02; there were 2 deaths among 62 recipients vs 68 deaths among 324 delayed transfusion recipients or nonrecipients). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Among medically evacuated US military combat causalities in Afghanistan, blood product transfusion prehospital or within minutes of injury was associated with greater 24-hour and 30-day survival than delayed transfusion or no transfusion. The findings support prehospital transfusion in this setting
