The purpose of this review article is to describe the characteristics of a dissent of the hegemonic discourse of economic science such as ecological economics, reflecting the asymmetries between them as the possibilities has to understand and solve labor transitions, economic and ecological that presents the problems of the 21st century. The methodology is qualitative, and the method is documentary review. The main conclusions are that the ecological economy establishes the dialogue with other disciplines as sustenance to respond to the challenges of the present. It conceives life as a pivot, not as another variable to obtain short-term returns but as a dynamic argumentative line.

AbstractSoft tissue injuries, whether isolated or in combination with other injuries, are among the most common traumatic craniofacial injuries encountered by emergency department personnel and maxillofacial surgeons. Despite this high incidence, there are very few studies that systematically investigate the management of these injuries and therefore, there is no widely accepted classification scheme or treatment algorithms to guide evaluation and treatment. As a result, most critical management decisions are left exclusively to the discretion of the treating surgeon with limited prospective or retrospective data, beyond personal experience, available to guide treatment. This may lead to many disparate approaches to both short-term and longterm management. In this review article, we give a brief account of management of facial abrasions, including tetanus prophylaxis, pain assessment, cleaning, definitive closure and dressing of facial abrasions.

Nocturnal Enuresis (NE) is the involuntary passing of urine whileasleep after the age at which bladder control would normally be prevised. NE has hassled humans for hundreds of years. It has been recognized since the time of Papyrus Ebers, 1550 B.C. Various potions were prepared by using different plants, animals or organs in some of the early treatment modalities. A number of medications have been used to treat nocturnal enuresis where, Imipramine and Desmopressin acetate were found to be efficacious. Besides, some credit has also been given to Oxybutynin. Because of the high relapse rates recited after short-term therapy with pharmacotherapeutic agents, pharmacological treatment for NE is best considered as management therapy rather than a cure. In this review article, we have mainly focused on the treatment and management of nocturnal enuresis by reviewing various treatment modalities along with behavioural modifications, bladder retention training, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and combination therapy.

Abstract Purpose As the practice of nutritional support in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) during curative radio(chemo)therapy is quite heterogeneous, we carried out a survey among European specialists. Methods A 19-item questionnaire was drawn up and disseminated via the web by European scientific societies involved in HNC and nutrition. Results Among 220 responses, the first choice was always for the enteral route; naso-enteral tube feeding was preferred to gastrostomy in the short term, while the opposite for period longer than 1 month. Indications were not solely related to the patient’s nutritional status, but also to the potential burden of the therapy. Conclusion European HNC specialists contextualize the use of the nutritional support in a comprehensive plan of therapy. There is still uncertainty relating to the role of naso-enteral feeding versus gastrostomy feeding in patients requiring < 1 month nutritional support, an issue that should be further investigated.

AbstractThe need for enteral access for nutritional support has become increasingly important. It is estimated up to a third of hospitalized patients will suffer from malnourishment. There is evidence that enteral is preferable over parenteral nutrition for improved outcomes. Various approaches for enteral access exist today including blind placement of enteral catheters, radiographically, and surgically placed catheters. However, the endoscopic approach for enteral access is a well-established, reliable, safe, and quick method of obtaining enteral access. In this review article, we will cover the various endoscopic approaches for enteral access. We believe there is no single best approach for enteral access and that it should be tailored to the individual patient. This article will cover both temporary options such as nasoenteric catheters and more permanent options such as percutaneous endoscopic stomas (gastrostomy, gastrojejunostomy, direct jejunostomy) and describe their techniques, indications, contraindications, and pitfalls. Additionally, with the rise of weight loss surgery, we will cover how to manage the patient with altered gastrointestinal anatomy. Lastly, we will also review difficult post procedure scenarios associated with all of these endoscopic methods for enteral access and how to either prevent or properly manage them.
