Sense Of Home

This concluding chapter discusses the reinforcement of the affective capacity building among dispersed transnational communities within the three cases presented earlier in this book. The first case explores how migrant organisations of Haitian origin engagement in Parisian banlieues is beneficial to their homeland's development. The second case is from the village of Jaziret Fadel that has the biggest gathering of Palestinian who fled to Egypt since the outbreak of 1948 war. It emphasizes the exploration of their new technique of 'killing memory' to gain acceptance, belonging and create a new sense of home within a new spatial context. The third case focuses on how the Northern Uganda war between the LRA and the Ugandan Army (1987-2007) has formulated the Acholi's experience with war, violence, and flight, which has led to different local constructions of place, political belonging, and material and emotional connections. Accordingly, will such communities be able to survive for a future on their own? Will memory to trace their genealogy fuel a sense of belonging after displacement? For what sort of citizenship within their new place?

Most malignant tumors of the penis are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), being divided in 2 groups, one human papillomavirus (HPV)-related and another non-HPV-related, with lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) being one of the rarest HPV-related SCC. In this article, we report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented testicular swelling and pain for the past 3 months. A penile mass was identified, and the patient was submitted to a total penectomy. The penectomy specimen showed an ulcerated lesion at the glans reaching the cavernous bodies. Microscopic examination showed undifferentiated epithelial cells with syncytial growth pattern mix with a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, consistent with LELC. The tumor cells expressed p16 and all 3 different clones of PDL1 (22C3, SP263, and SP142). The patient is alive and well with a follow-up of 3 months. To our knowledge, this is the third LELC of the penis reported in literature and the first case reported with PDL1 expression.

For networks with human-driven vehicles (HDVs) only, pricing with arc-specific tolls has been proposed to achieve minimization of travel times in a decentralized way. However, the policy is hardly feasible from a technical viewpoint without connectivity. Therefore, for networks with mixed traffic of HDVs and connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), this paper considers pricing in a scenario where only CAVs are charged. In contrast to HDVs, CAVs can be managed as individual vehicles or as a fleet. In the latter case, CAVs can be routed to minimize the travel time of the fleet of CAVs or that of the entire fleet of HDVs and CAVs. We have a selfish user behavior in the first case, a private monopolist behavior in the second, a social planner behavior in the third. Pricing achieves in a decentralized way the social planner optimum. Tolls are not unique and can take both positive and negative values. Marginal cost pricing is one solution. The valid toll set is provided, and tolls are then computed according to two schemes: one with positive tolls only and minimum toll expenditure, and one with both tolls and subsidies and zero net expenditure. Convergent algorithms are used for the mixed-behavior equilibrium (simplicial decomposition algorithm) and toll determination (cutting plane algorithm). The computational experience with three networks: a two-arc network representative of the classic town bypass case, the Nguyen-Dupuis network, and the Anaheim network, provides useful policy insight.

In this reporting period (November 2020-March 2021), five cases will be presented. The first case is INPS v WS (C-302/19), dealing with the Italian legislation that excludes Single Permit holders from receiving family benefits for their family members residing in a third country. In the second report, two cases rendered on the same day by the Grand Chamber of the Court are discussed. In D.J. v Radiotelevizija Slovenija (C-344/19) and RJ v Stadt Offenbach am Main (C-580/19), the Court clarified the circumstances under which periods of stand-by time could be considered as ‘working time’ or, alternatively, ‘rest periods’ under Directive 2003/88. XI v Caisse pour l’avenir des enfants (C-129/20) is the third case reported. It concerns an interpretation of the Framework Agreement on parental leave in the light of the Luxembourg legislation, which requires parents to be employed at the time of their child’s birth to benefit from parental leave. Finally, the case report ends with VL v Szpital Kliniczny im. dra J. Babińskiego Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej w Krakowie (C-16/19), a case of discrimination on grounds of disability.

Abstract Low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue involving the kidney is rare. We report a series of 3 cases. The first case occurred in an 83-year-old woman who presented with back pain. The second case was a 53-year-old man with a history of sarcoidosis who was found, in the course of evaluation of sarcoidosis, to have a right renal mass. The third case occurred in a 72-year-old man who had a history of periorbital mucosa–associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and had been treated with surgery and radiation 1 year prior to this presentation. Histologically, all 3 patients showed infiltrate of uniform small-to-medium–sized lymphocytes with irregular nuclear contours and abundant cytoplasm resembling centrocytes or monocytoid lymphoid cells. The first patient received chemotherapy without complications. The second patient underwent a partial nephrectomy and was asymptomatic at the subsequent follow-up. The third patient developed a pulmonary embolism following nephrectomy, and further follow-up is not available.

The article presents the results of an archaeoparasitological and palynological study of a sample taken from the sewage drain of the Chorgun Tower. This is a fortification on the territory of the village of Chernorechie (South-Western Crimea). According to archaeological research, the construction of the keep dates back to the third quarter of the 15th century. Four types of eggs of intestinal parasites infecting humans and synanthropic animals were identified in the sample. Regarding parasitic and infectious gastrointestinal diseases, human whipworm and roundworm eggs found in the sample are indicative of relatively unfavorable sanitary conditions of the fortification. Based on the features of the archaeoparasitological spectrum, it can be concluded that anthelminthic agents were used or food with antiparasitic effects against roundworms was consumed. The difficult sanitary and epidemiological situation was also complicated by synanthropic rodents, such as rats and domestic mice, which could be a constant source of dangerous infections in the Chorgun Keep. A palynological study of the contents of the sewage runoff made it possible to obtain additional information on the nutrition of people who used the latrine facilities in the Chorgun Keep. What is equally important is that the study demonstrates the possibilities of methods for the study of canalization as a source of bioarchaeological information.

AbstractThree patients aged five years, five years four months and 14 years with obstruction of the systemic venous baffle following the Mustard operation were treated with balloon dilation and implantation ofstents. Balloon dilation of the baffle obstruction was performed initially in the first two cases. In the third case, the obstruction was complete and was punctured with atranseptal needle via a 6 French transeptal sheath followed by a balloon dilation. in all three patients, a Palmaz stent (Johnson & Johnson, Summerville, New Jersey, USA) was loaded onto the balloon catheter and delivered into the stenotic area. There was complete relief of obstruction in allcases. The first case developed supraventricular tachycardia at the time ofcatheterization, the morning following implantation of the stent and thentwo weeks after that. There were no complications with catheterization and noshort-term side effects in the other cases. These cases illustrate the use of endovascular stents in the treatment of baffle obstruction.

Abstract Background This is a case report of an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with new-onset nephrotic syndrome in a pediatric patient. This is the third case of new-onset nephrotic syndrome in children associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, but is the first case report describing a new-onset nephrotic syndrome presentation in a patient who had asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. Case presentation This is a case of a previously healthy 5 year old female who presented with new-onset nephrotic syndrome in the setting of an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. She presented with progressive edema, and laboratory findings were significant for proteinuria and hypercholesterolemia. She was treated with albumin, diuretics, and corticosteroid therapy, and achieved clinical remission of her nephrotic syndrome within 3 weeks of treatment. Though she was at risk of hypercoagulability due to her COVID-19 infection and nephrotic syndrome, she was not treated with anticoagulation, and did not develop any thrombotic events. Conclusions Our case report indicates that SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a trigger for nephrotic syndrome, even in the absence of overt COVID-19 symptoms.

Revascularization Procedures

Patients with CLI often present multilevel disease. They underwent multiply revascularization procedures aiming to save thelimb. The main obstacle is absence or poor outflow arteries. Inability to restore bloodflow usuallyleads to ischemia progression and consequent amputation. We describe two cases of successful treatment of patient with CLI after multiply ABF thrombosis and absence of outflow arteries.The first 63 years old patient developed the third case of ABF thrombosis as a result of profunda and superficial femoral arteries chronic occlusion. We performed mechanical recanalization and angioplasty of anterior tibial, popliteal, subintimal recanalization and angioplasty of superficial femoral arteries. After that the ABFleg was sutured to subintimal space of femoral artery. The next case was another 63 years old patient with total chronic occlusion of iliac, femoral, popliteal and tibioperoneal trunk. We performed mechanical recanalization and angioplasty of anterior tibial, popliteal, subintimal recanalization and angioplasty of superficial femoral arteries. And then extra anatomy femoro-femoral autovenous bypass, distal anastomosis was performed by using subintimal artery space also. Thelong term period was 27 months for the first case and 20 months - for the second one. All bypasses were patient.Therefore this described above approach of hybrid open and endovascular surgery could give additional chance forlowlimb revascularization in this so-called hopeless group with criticallimb ischemia.
