A 43-year-old male with a history of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis presented with headache and double vision since 48 h. Idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis was diagnosed based on nuclear magnetic resonance and comprehensive systemic study findings. Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis and idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis have been associated with IgG4-related diseases, but this was the first case in which they coexisted in the same patient. After steroid treatment failure, rituximab was used with excellent results.
The 21st century has brought changes and innovations in educational technology that should be incorporated in the curriculum at all educational levels. Therefore, it is necessary to apply modern technologies in learning processes. This work was based on basic cognitive learning theories and principles, and used software, such as Freehand, Adobe Photoshop, Jigsaw Puzzle Creator, Brainsbraker and Jigsaw Puzzle Lite, to create a multimedia version of the SALTARIESGOS board game. The game was applied and validated with students from elementary school of 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The results we obtained can be considered satisfactory based on the student’s opinion, and the pedagogical strategy was as an effective tool for achieving our goals. The educational contribution of this interactive version of the game will promote and sensitize school community members at different urban and rural areas, in order to enhance the preventive culture in disaster risk reduction.
