The missing piece. The perceived marginalization of CSOs and HRGs in SOSTs' decision-making processes: a review.

This review represents the first contribution of a research diptych which stems from the activities implemented in the framework of the H2020 ARESIBO project (Augmented Reality Enriched Situation awareness for Border security). The general objective of ARESIBO is to improve the efficiency of border surveillance systems by providing the operational teams, as well as the tactical command and control level with accurate and comprehensive information related to border control considering different issues and perspectives. These perspectives also include the analysis of the level of engagement and the (possible) enhancement of citizens' involvement in the development and decision making related to border surveillance.

Towards the engagement of citizens in SOSTs decision-making: participatory models setting a common ground for border surveillance and respect of fundamental rights. Findings from ARESIBO H2020 project.

ARESIBO is an H2020 project aiming to improve the efficiency of border surveillance systems by providing the operational teams, as well as the tactical command and control level with accurate and comprehensive information related to border control by different perspectives. Human Rights Groups' (HRGs) and Civil Society Organisations' (CSOs) involvement and participation in decision making related Surveillance-Oriented Security Technologies (SOSTs) for border surveillance is considered as a key-factor to ensure the coexistence of two only apparently opposite needs: security and respect of fundamental rights (i.e.

Single-Stage Augmentation Mastopexy With Composite Reverse Inferior Muscle Sling Technique for Autologous Reinforcement of the Inferior Pole: Technical Refinements and Outcomes.

Background: Single-stage augmentation mastopexy (SAM) is a common procedure, but revision rates are high. Muscle slings have been used in SAM, but despite satisfactory outcomes, most studies do not include objective or accurate measurements of implant/breast position. This article describes a surgical technique for SAM employing a composite reverse inferior muscle sling (CRIMS).

TIME TRENDS OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI PREVALENCE IN ITAJAÍ - SC: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF 25 YEARS BASED ON ENDOSCOPIC DATABASE.

Background: The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with the development of gastric adenocarcinoma. Currently, the prevalence in developed countries is 40%, but this value increases considerably in developing countries, which can reach rates bigger than 90%.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the mean and annual prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients from Itajaí during the period from July 1992 to April 2016, as well as the gender and age groups most affected.

Influence of advanced age on postoperative outcomes and total loss following breast reconstruction: a critical assessment of 560 cases.

Objective: to evaluate the role of age in the risk of postoperative complications in patients submitted to unilateral breast reconstruction after mastectomy, with emphasis on total reconstruction loss.

Methods: we conducted a retrospective study of patients submitted to breast reconstruction, whose variables included: oncological and reconstruction data, postoperative complications, including loss of reconstruction and complications of surgical wound. We divided the patients into two groups, according to the classification of the Brazilian National Elderly Policy and the Statute of the Elderly: young (age <60 years) and elderly (60 years or more).
