Director training and education: models from Brazil and the UK

This paper presents a conversation that took place via Zoom on 6 September 2022, between Adriana Schneider Alcure and Bruce Adams, curated by Pedro de Senna. In it, Alcure and Adams discuss their experiences, respectively, at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and Middlesex University, London (MDX). Both universities offer BA courses in theatre directing, but follow very different models. Both universities also offer MAs in Theatre Arts (MDX) and ‘Artes da Cena’ (UFRJ), with similar interdisciplinary ethea. Mediated by de Senna’s experience of both cultural contexts, Adams and Alcure talk about commonalities and differences, addressing two key pedagogical questions: in what ways can directing be taught, if at all? And: what is the role of theatre (and theatre directors) in society? The conversation is not directly transcribed, but edited and organised by de Senna, drawing on the themes explored, and addresses contemporary theatre director training from an intercultural perspective. The exchange touches on questions of academic and artistic labour, student cohorts, curriculum design, interdisciplinarity; and the relationship between ‘training’ and ‘education’, when it comes to the performing arts in general, and theatre directing in particular: are these terms even adequate? It is clear that these questions are imbricated with those relating to the purpose of, and access to, the arts and education more broadly, in societies that, while very different, have more in common than might at first be acknowledged.

PB1838: TOXICITY AND OUTCOME OF HIGH DOSE CYTARABINE (18 G/M2) FOR AML CONSOLIDATION.

Background: The combination of an anthracycline and cytosine arabinoside has been the standard induction therapy in adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). After complete remission (CR), a post-remission therapy is necessary. CALGB study in 1994 established high dose cytarabine as one of the standard regimens. However, the current 2017 European LeukemiaNet recommendations for AML discourage the use of HIDAC, because intermediate doses of cytarabine (1-1.5g/m2) may be as effective. Hereby we present retrospective data of AML patients treated with HIDAC after the first CR (CR1). Aims: The main purpose of this study was to determine the toxicities rates of patients receiving HIDAC. Methods: Adult patients with a diagnosis of AML, who received at least one cycle of HIDAC after achieving first complete remission (CR1) were included. The study was conducted at University Hospital Clementino Fraga Filho, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil. Complete remission (CR) was defined using standard criteria. Patients in CR1 received consolidation chemotherapy consisting of cytarabine 3 g/m2 given by 3-hour IV infusion every 12 hours on days 1, 3, and 5 (18g/m2 per course). A minimum of 2 HIDAC courses and a maximum of 4 courses were usually planned. Results: From April 2008 to September 2020, 29 AML patients in CR1 received a total of 67 courses of HIDAC. The median age was 36 years (range, 18 to 62), and (41%) were females. Normal karyotype was present in 11 patients; five cases of CBF AML were identified: four t(8;21) and one t(16;16) with trisomy 22. The median number of cycles of consolidation was 2; 4 patients (14%) received 4 cycles, 10 received 3 cycles, 10 received 2 cycles and 5 received just 1 cycle. The overall survival was 16 months in patients who received 1 or 2 cycles (15 patients) and not reached in patients who received 3 or 4 cycles (14 patients). No significant differences in survival were observed according to the number of cycles (P=0.095). Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was given after 65 cycles (95.5%). The most common side effect was febrile neutropenia 38 (56.7%). Neurotoxicity was documented after 2 cycles. One patient presented with seizures on day 2 of the first cycle, and another patient presented with diplopia, abnormal coordination (dismetry) and visual blurring on the 10th day of the first cycle. Other significant side effects included: severe bleeding 8 (11.9%); mucositis 10 (15%), severe mucositis 1 (1.5%); nausea or vomiting 16 (23,9%); diarrhea 8 (11.9%), short duration diarrhea 5 (7.5%), diarrhea with dehydration 2 (3%), diarrhea with necessity of treatment 1 (1.5%); neutropenic enterocolitis 3 (5.5%); renal failure 3 (4.5%), hemodialysis 1(1.5%). Two deaths occurred before any documentation of relapse (TRM of 6.8%). One death occurred in the first cycle (day 15) due to Candida tropicalis candidemia and another after neutropenic enterocolitis (day 20). Discharge shortly after HIDAC was possible in 45 cycles (67.5%) and no readmission was required in 14 (20.9%). Readmission was necessary after 31 cycles (46.2%) and the median days at home was 5.8 (range, 3 to 8). Summary/Conclusion: HIDAC (18 g/m2) can be safely given to select AML patients after CR1. Our analysis demonstrates febrile neutropenia was the most common adverse event, neurologic toxicities were reversible and treatment related mortality occurred during early cycles. Hospital discharge after a HIDAC cycle is safe with the use of G-CSF.

Cânula nasal de alto fluxo em pediatria: quando, como e por quê?

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical and epidemiological wooping cough/pertussis in a pediatric hospital. METHOD: Series of cases that were studied all patients with wooping cough hospitalized at the Institute of Pediatrics Martagão Gesteira of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) from May 2011 until August 2012. Were included patients with paroxysmal cough and signs of severity that required hospitalization and excluded patients whose records were incomplete. RESULTS: Of the 38 cases of wooping cough analyzed, nine were suspected pertussis cases, and of these, six met the criteria for clinical confirmation of pertussis. The deaths occurred in young infants who were clinically confirmed cases of pertussis, according to the Ministry of Health-Brazil. CONCLUSION: A suspect case definition of pertussis followed confirmation early clinical favoring early institution of appropriate treatment and avoiding unfavorable outcomes.

A entoação das perguntas totais de estudantes de espanhol do Rio de Janeiro

No presente trabalho, apresentamos as características melódicas das perguntas totais do espanhol analisadas sob os pressupostos de Análise Melódico da Fala (AMH) (CANTERO, 2002; CANTERO; FONT ROTCHÉS, 2007, 2009), a partir de um corpus constituído por diálogos de estudantes universitários brasileiros de espanhol,no Rio de Janeiro, em um estudo piloto do curso de Idiomas sem Fronteiras (Espanhol) oferecido pela Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). A principal conclusão que podemos ter com este estudo exploratório é que, majoritariamente, estes falantes utilizam padrões interrogativos similares aos do espanhol da Espanha (Madrid), mas com percentuais de subida na inflexão final inferiores; em menor medida, um padrão descrito para o português, que em espanhol da Espanha tem significado enfático, não interrogativo.

Sarcoid-like cutaneous lesions in chronic adult paracoccidioidomycosis: report of two cases

ABSTRACTThis study reports two cases of chronic paracoccidioidomycosis with sarcoid-like cutaneous lesions. The patients began the treatment in 2013 at Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho (HUCFF) of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). The first case (mild form) was treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (8 mg /kg per day, orally) for three months and, then, with half the dose for nine months; the second (moderate form), with itraconazole (200 mg per day, orally) for 12 months. We point out the rareness of the sarcoid-like cutaneous lesions and the differential diagnoses for other granulomatous diseases.

Review of the Brazilian Guidelines for Cervical Cancer Screening, 2016

It is about to be published the second edition of the Brazilian Guidelines for Cervical Cancer Screening, as part of another publication of the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (Instituto Nacional de Câncer [Inca]). For the development of the document participated the members of the Collaborative Network for Qualification of Diagnosis and Treatment of Precursor Lesions of Cervical Cancer, of which are part: the Health Care Bureau of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, the Inca – National Institute of Cancer, the Brazilian National Institute of Women, Child and Adolescent Health (Instituto Nacional da Saude da Mulher, da Crianca e do Adolescente Fernandes Figueira [Fiocruz]), the Institute of Gynecology of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the Brazilian Society of Lower Genital Tract Pathology and Colposcopy (Associacao Brasileira de Patologia do Trato Genital Inferior e Colposcopia), the member of the Committee of Experts on Strengthening of Prevention and Qualification actions of Diagnosis and Treatment of Cervical and Breast Cancers (Comite de Especialistas para o Fortalecimento das Acoes de Prevencao e Qualificacao do Diagnostico e Tratamento dos Cânceres do Colo do Utero e de Mama) (both created under Decree no 1.472/GM/MS, from June 24, 2011), and invited experts. They totaled more than 60 professionals directly involved in the women care for prevention and early detection of cervical cancer, including the presidency of the Brazilian Society of Cytopathology (Sociedade Brasileira de Citopatologia) and some of associates. The process involved review, discussion and search for consensus of the theoretical foundation and the recommendations on the first edition, in virtual meetings between August 2, 2013 and June 6, 2014. All meetings may be reviewed by accessing the links on the Guideline itself. The resulting texts were re-discussed and ratified in attendance workshop, held on 4 and 6 August 2014, in Rio de Janeiro, and submitted to public consultation. During the process, the contributions received were incorporated into the final text. Those which suggested using technology non-existing in the Unified Health System (Sistema Unico de Saude [SUS]) were excluded, since they depend on feasibility assessment of incorporation by the Ministry of Health before joining the recommendations for SUS. In its second edition, the Guidelines contain some updates compared to the previous: • the introductory text of each chapter, which presents the rationale for the recommendations was reviewed and updated; • new recommendations were incorporated and some had a clearer written; • flowcharts have been simplified; • a chapter of Complementary Topics was incorporated, in which some situations that can be faced in more than one cytological diagnosis are addressed; • the recommendations for women up to 20 years have been extended to up to 24 years; • the new international colposcopy terminology was used. Soon, the second edition of the Brazilian Guidelines for Cervical Cancer Screening will be published, and at that time we will make full disclosure. While we await the publication, we present in the current number of this journal, a review article that discusses the different screening strategies for cervical cancer that are being used in several countries.

From simple questions to complex answers: a research program based on diet selection and water balance of small mammals

Information on key biological traits is fundamental to understand complex ecological processes, and to develop mechanistic models of geographic distributions and community structure based on functional attributes. These ideas were the main motivation behind pioneer studies on food habits, diet selection, and ecophysiology of small mammals coordinated by Dr. Rui Cerqueira at the Laboratorio de Vertebrados (LABVERT) of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Here we review his research program and his most important contributions on diet selection and water balance, which were studied to understand community structure, biogeography, and species distribution. Studies of diet selection varied from fecal content analyzes to comparative morphometric and anatomical studies of digestive organs, and its relations to diet digestibility. One of the main contributions was the development of a method to experimentally establish diet selection and food preference in laboratory. Previously, most Neotropical marsupials were simply described as omnivorous, but using this method it was possible to detect that species are distributed along a gradient of nutrient and food consumption, from frugivory to carnivory. A study of the water balance and urine concentration by the marsupial Philander frenatus supported the hypothesis that it is dependent on mesic habitats because of its limited ability to concentrate urine. This study also set the experimental apparatus used latter in intra and interspecific comparisons, successfully determining local adaptation to different habitats in populations of the same species, and the physiological limitations of different species to occupy more xeric habitats. The experiments to determine diet selection and water balance by small mammals allowed unique inferences on intrinsic characteristics of populations and species, important aspects of their fundamental niche. They also provided the basis to characterize the function that these species may provide in communities and ecosystems.
