Congenital anomalies: hospitalization in a pediatric unit.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the profile of children with congenital anomalies admitted to a pediatric unit. METHODS This is a quantitative and retrospective research. The sample consisted of records of children aged from 0 to 12 years old who were hospitalized in the pediatric unit of the University Hospital of Londrina, Paraná, Southern Brazil, from 2007 to 2009. Data were collected by chart review processed in the Epi-Info® program, and they were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis. RESULTS There were 282 first admissions of children with congenital anomalies. Of these, 130 (46.0%) required readmission totaling therefore 412 hospitalizations. The mean stay was three days. There was a male predominance, and the age range was from three to seven years old. The most frequent congenital anomalies were in the genital and urinary systems (19.6%), followed by cleft lip and palate (17.3%), and those of the circulatory system (16.2%). There were 269 surgical procedures to correct there anomalies. CONCLUSIONS This study underscores the epidemiological importance of congenital malformations, highlighting the need to prevent and control the triggering factors.
Aspectos biométricos corporais e do intestino delgado da capivara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris Linnaeus, 1766 (Mammalia, Rodentia, Hydrochaeridae)

Biometric features of the capybara´s body and small intestine Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris Linnaeus, 1766 (Mammalia, Rodentia, Hydrochaeridae). Biometric aspects of the body were analyzed, as well as some aspects of the small intestine of the capybara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris wild species, particularly those that have been provoking economic interest in meat and leather production. Data such as age, corporal weight and length and thoracic perimeter and height were analyzed. Significant correlations were found between the age and the crown-rump (CR) and snout-rump (SR) corporal lengths, and between the corporal weight and the parameters of corporal length, thoracic perimeter and height, so that the age and the corporal weight could be obtained starting from more accessible biometric parameters, relative to corporal measurement. Most of the correlations were more significant in the male animals, especially the correlations between the corporal weight and the parameters CR length, thoracic perimeter and height, as well as the correlation among CR length and thoracic height and perimeter, suggesting the existence of possible sexual dimorphism. In relation to the small intestine, estimates were made of the length and volumetric capacity totals as well as those of its individual segments. The capybara possesses a small intestine that is relatively long, about five times longer than the corporal length, and with a volumetric capacity that is relatively high, representing 6.7% of the corporal weight.
Salt weathering simulations under hot desert conditions: agents of enlightenment or pertpetuators of preconceptions?

Because of access difficulties and inhospitable environmental conditions, our understanding of rock weathering in hot deserts has been strongly influenced by laboratory simulations. However, a risk exists that results may come to owe more to experimental design than to actual environmental conditions experienced at the atmosphere/rock surface interface. This was especially true in early salt-weathering simulations that seemingly sought to reinforce the orthodoxy of a physically dominated weathering environment driven by extremely high absolute temperatures and large diurnal temperature ranges. However, improvements in environmental sensors over the last 20 years have established the complexity of desert climates and the importance of microclimatic controls and allowed considerable refinement of experimental design. This overview evaluates the implications of recent simulation studies and presents new information on possible fatigue effects of differential thermal expansion of salts and the salt weathering of test blocks under compressive loading. In doing so, it demonstrates how physical rock properties change during experimentation, the importance of short-term surface temperature fluctuations, distinctions between the weathering of unconfined debris and larger rock surfaces, the importance of moisture and salt applications that replicate their availability in deserts, the importance of rock thermal properties in controlling their weathering response in environments dominated by radiative heating and cooling, and the overall complexity of weathering regimes.
On endogenous Stackelberg leadership : The case of horizontally differentiated duopoly and asymmetric network compatibility effects

Introducing product compatibility associated with network externalities (hereafter, network compatibility effects) into a horizontally differentiated duopoly model, we consider how network compatibility effects and the level of product substitutability affect endogenous timing decisions in the cases of quantityand price-setting competition. In particular, we demonstrate the following. First, given asymmetric network compatibility effects between the products of the firms, there is Stackelberg equilibrium where the firm providing a product with a larger network compatibility effect than some certain level of product substitutability emerges as a leader (follower), whereas the firm providing a product with a smaller network compatibility effect than some certain level of product substitutability emerges as a follower (leader) in the case of quantity (price)-setting competition. Second, the Stackelberg equilibrium is Pareto-superior for both firms compared with other equilibria. However, with alternative formulation determining network size, with respect to the endogenous Stackelberg leader−follower relationship, the revers holds.
Running title:INCLUSION OF AÇAI OIL IN DIET OF PREPARTUM COWS Academy Section: HEALTH SCIENCES

We measured the effects of açai oil in the diets of prepartum cows to evaluate health, milk production and quality. Sixteen Holstein cows were divided into two groups: SOY used as control, and AÇAI, test group. Occurred inclusion of 4% soybean or açai oils was provided in the concentrate starting at 20 days prepartum [d -20 to d 0 (partumday)]. The AÇAI diet increased (P=0.01) milk production (d 10 and 20) and reduced somatic cell count (d 20). In milk, no effects were detected (P≥0.10) for concentration of fat, lactose or protein as well as in terms of serum concentration of calcium, albumin or triglycerides. AÇAI diet tended to increase (P=0.09) serum concentrations of total protein, glutathione transferase (d 4), and total antioxidant capacity (d 4 and 10) and increased (P≤0.05) globulin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase (d 4). Further, AÇAI diet reduced the serum concentration of creatine kinase (P≤0.05) (d 0, 4 and 10), reactive oxygen species (d 0 and 4) and lipoperoxidation (d 0) and tended to reduce aspartate transaminase activity (P=0.07; d 0 and 4). Açai oil in the diets in prepartum cows improved their health as well as milk production and quality.

Decay D + s → φℓ + ν ℓ in Covariant Quark Model

We present the branching fractions for the leptonic and semileptonic decays D + s → ℓ + ν ℓ for ℓ = e ,µ, τ and D + s → φℓ + ν ℓ for ℓ = e , µ . We use the covariant conﬁned quark model with built-in infrared conﬁnement for computation of required transition form factors in the whole physical range of momentum transfer. Our results on the leptonic decays are found to agree well with the available experimental data. We obtain the following results for the semileptonic branching fractions of D + s mesons: B ( D + s → φ e + ν e ) = 2 . 85 % and B ( D + s → φµ + ν µ ) = 2 . 70 %. The ratios of branching fractions are found to be B ( D + s → φµ + ν µ ) / B ( D + s → φ e + ν e ) = 0 . 95 which is consistent with the recent BESIII data.
Establishment Non-Diabetic , of Two Substrains , Diabetes-Prone from Long-Evans Tokushima Lean and ( LETL ) Rats

Diabetes mellitus in Long-Evans Tokushima Lean (LETL) rats closely resembles type 1 diabetes in human beings, e.g., no gender differences in the incidence of diabetes and no T lymphopenia. Although the LETL rats have been established as an inbred strain, the incidence of diabetes is only '2O%. In the present study, we established two substrains, one a diabetes-prone (KDP) and the other a nondiabetic (KND) from the original inbred LETL rats. The features of KDP rats are a high incidence of diabetes (over all -7O%) without lymphopenia and 100% development of mild to severe insulitis at 120220 days of age. In contrast, the KND substrain is characterized by the complete absence of diabetes incidence. Among 165 SSLP marker loci throughout all rat chromosomes, no loci showed variation among KDP and KND substrains and their parental LETL rats. In this regard, the genetic background of these two substrains, KDP and KND, appears to be uniform except for the major gene(s) that is responsible for the diabetes. In this context, these two substrains of LETL rats should serve as useful tools for research on the pathogenesis and for the genetic analysis of type 1 diabetes. In this report, we have not only established, but also characterized these two substrains, and provided their fundamental data.
Coherency structure exploitation in DOA estimation for nonâ•’circular sources

This study addresses the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for non-circular (NC) sources in the presence of multipath propagation. Recent research reveals that the use of the association of incident signals, i.e. source association (SA), can provide a significant gain in reducing DOA estimation error, especially in the presence of multiple sources. Here, in order to make full use of both the properties of NC sources and the SA information, the multipath model with NC sources is studied, and then a simple combination algorithm is proposed to estimate the SA, based on which, the authors derive an iterative root estimator to refine a given coarse DOA estimation. Meanwhile, the stochastic Cramer–Rao bound taking these two factors into account is derived as well. The proposed method is search-free and maintains the array aperture which is up to twice of the physical array aperture. Numerical simulations have been provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Level structure of ^{30}S and its importance in the ^{26}Si( α ,p)^{29}P and ^{29}P(p, γ )^{30}S reaction rates

The level structure of 30 S was studied via the 28 Si( 3 He,n) and 32 S(p,t) reactions at the Nuclear Science Laboratory (NSL) of the University of Notre Dame and the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) of the University of Osaka, Japan. Important experimental information on the energy levels, decay branching ratios and tentative spin assignments are extracted to calculate the reaction rates for 29 P(p, γ ) 30 S and 26 Si( α ,p) 29 P, which play a critical role for reaction ﬂow in explosive hydrogen burning. level structure of 30 S via the 32 S(p,t) two-neutron and the 28 Si( 3 He,n) two-proton transfer reactions. main the ﬁrst study to identify proton- and alpha-unbound levels in 30 S and determine the excitation energies with high accuracy by taking advantage of the high resolving power of the dispersion matched Grand Raiden spectrometer at The second measurement aimed at a study of the decay properties of these unbound states by mapping the decay-particle channels in coincidence with discovered in the S(p,t) spectra at 8.482 MeV to that energy range the 28 Si( 3 He,n-p) 29 P proton spectra indicate the decay of a 8.68 MeV conﬁguration to the ground-state, the ﬁrst three excited states, as well as the 7/2 + ﬁfth-excited state in 29 P. A similar decay pattern is observed for the conﬁguration at 9.22 MeV, which was also identiﬁed in the 32 S(p,t) spectrum with levels at 9.081 and 9.276 MeV excitation energy. Again, the mirror nucleus shows in the corresponding excitation range a rather high level density, which corresponds to a large number of states in 30 S reﬂected in the collective proton-decay of unresolved states populated in the 28 Si( 3 He,n-p) transfer reaction.
Peptidoglycan Recognition Proteins A NOVEL FAMILY OF FOUR HUMAN INNATE IMMUNITY PATTERN RECOGNITION MOLECULES*

The innate immune system recognizes microorganisms through a series of pattern recognition receptors that are highly conserved in evolution. Insects have a family of 12 peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs) that recognize peptidoglycan, a ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls. We report cloning of three novel human PGRPs (PGRP-L, PGRP-I , and PGRP-I ) that together with the previously cloned PGRP-S, define a new family of human pattern recognition molecules. PGRP-L, PGRP-I , and PGRP-I have 576, 341, and 373 amino acids coded by five, seven, and eight exons on chromosomes 19 and 1, and they all have two predicted transmembrane domains. All mammalian and insect PGRPs have at least three highly conserved C-terminal PGRP domains located either in the extracellular or in the cytoplasmic (or in both) portions of the molecules. PGRP-L is expressed in liver, PGRP-I and PGRP-I in esophagus (and to a lesser extent in tonsils and thymus), and PGRP-S in bone marrow (and to a lesser extent in neutrophils and fetal liver). All four human PGRPs bind peptidoglycan and Grampositive bacteria. Thus, these PGRPs may play a role in recognition of bacteria in these organs.
Psychosocial impact of pediatric cancer on parents: a literature review

A diagnosis of childhood cancer represents challenges for patients, family members, and health workers. The parents of a child or adolescent have to play an expanded role because they need to reconcile parental tasks and treatment demands. This study presents an integrative literature review concerning difficulties experienced by pediatric caregivers during onco-hematological treatment. The CAPES periodicals portal and the Scientific Library Online (SciELO) were searched for papers published between 1999 and 2009. Relevant themes are highlighted in Brazilian and international studies published in the field, such as psychological disorders experienced by caregivers, the professional and financial impact associated with treatment, changes in educative practices and family dynamics, and the influence of cultural practices on the experience of treatment. Suggestions for further research are presented to support efficient psychosocial interventions and minimize the psychosocial costs experienced by pediatric caregivers over the course of onco-hematological treatments.
Journal of Economic Development, Environment and People

The current paper examines the influencing factors in sustaining psychological wellbeing amongst married career women in Ibadan, Nigeria. Hence, this paper proposes increasing and sustaining psychological wellbeing amongst married career women in Ibadan, Nigeria. The paper espoused a quantitative research approach based on a survey research design. The results showed that psychological distress, social support, domestic violence, and family conflict resolution significantly jointly and independently influence psychological wellbeing among married career women in Ibadan, Nigeria. The results show that family conflict resolution is a noteworthy moderator of the negative influence of psychological distress and domestic violence in sustaining psychological wellbeing amongst married career women in Ibadan, Nigeria. Besides, the outcomes indicate that religion significantly influences psychological wellbeing amongst married career women in Ibadan, Nigeria. Therefore, developmental psychologists, organizational managers, human resources practitioners, counselors, and religious organizations should encourage reducing psychological distress by increasing social support, reducing domestic violence, and achieving consistent conflict resolution within families. This step will sustain psychological wellbeing amongst married career women in Nigeria. Thus, this paper has recognized psychological distress, social support, domestic violence, family conflict resolution, and demographic factors (for instance, religion) as significant influencers in sustaining psychological wellbeing amongst married career women in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Wind and turbulence in the urban boundary layer – analysis from acoustic remote sensing data and ﬁt to analytical relations

Mean seasonal proﬁles of wind speed, standard deviation of the vertical velocity and turbulence intensity from SODAR measurements in three cities of different size, Moscow, Hanover and Linz, are compared to analytical approximations for the Prandtl and Ekman layer. Typical urban features in the proﬁles and differences to measurements at rural sites are discussed. Typical urban features are a greater slope in the wind proﬁles, enhanced turbulence intensities, and a vertical increase in magnitude of the turbulence. The analytical ap- proach proposed by E TLING (2002) for the description of the vertical wind proﬁle in the whole boundary layer is amended in the Prandtl-layer part by a correction function for atmospheric stability. The amended proﬁle description turns out to render the best results for the approximation of urban wind proﬁles within the lowest 500 m above ground. Moskau, Hannover und Linz, werden mit analytischen Annäherungen für die Prandtl- und die Ekman Schicht verglichen. Typ- ische Eigenschaften für diese Proﬁle in Städten sind eine stärkere Zunahme des Windgeschwindigkeitsproﬁls mit der Höhe, höhere Turbulenzintensitäten und die Zunahme der Turbulenz mit der Höhe. Der analytische Ansatz, welcher von E TLING (2002) für die Beschreibung des Windproﬁls in der gesamten Grenzschicht vorgeschlagen wird, wird in der Prandtl Schicht durch eine Korrekturfunktion zur Berücksichtigung der at- mosphärischen Stabilität erweitert. Die erweiterte Proﬁlbeschreibung ermöglicht die beste Annäherung an städtische Windproﬁle in den untersten 500 m über Grund.
Indoor Channel Capacity Measurement of 2 x 2 MIMO Polarization Diversity Antenna

This paper presents the channel capacity investigation and the polarization reconfigurable antenna analysis for MIMO system in an indoor scenario. A single and dual-port polarization reconfigurable antenna is used at the receiver end to study the effect of polarization diversity configurations towards the achievable performance of the channel capacity. The polarization reconfigurable antennas are developed through two techniques, which are slits perturbation for single-port and feeding network modification for dual-port. The benefits offered by the designed antennas are investigated when being used as a receiver in both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. The results show the proposed antennas are suitable to be adopted and highly potential to improve the channel capacity of the MIMO systems.
Development of Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors from 2-19 and Internalizing Symptom Outcomes in a Longitudinal Study of Autism

Using data from a well-characterized longitudinal cohort, this study examined trajectories of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs), specifically repetitive sensorimotor (RSM), insistence on sameness (IS), and verbal RRBs, as measured by the Autism Diagnostic Interview, Revised (ADI-R) from ages 2 to 19. Additionally, this study investigated relationships between RSM and IS trajectories and parent- and self-report depression and anxiety symptoms in early adulthood. Group-based trajectory modeling and multilevel modeling were used to investigate change in RRB subtypes. RSM and IS behaviors generally decreased from 2 to 19, though some participants experienced increases in these RRB subtypes from ages 2 to 9. 65% of this sample had sufficient verbal ability prior to age 19 to calculate trajectories of verbal RRBs. Of this subset, 49% had few to no verbal RRBs throughout development; in contrast, the remaining 51% experienced increasing verbal RRBs from 2 to 9, followed by a plateau in verbal RRBs from 9-19. Higher ADOS Social Affect (SA) CSS scores in early childhood were linked with more RSM symptoms across development, but not related to the IS and Verbal trajectories. Non-verbal IQ from early childhood was not connected to change in any of the identified RRB trajectories. There were no associations between IS trajectories and internalizing symptom in early adulthood. However, preliminary data suggests that a Moderate-Decreasing pattern of RSM development may be linked to anxiety in early adulthood. These findings illustrate continuity and change in a core ASD symptom domain, RRBs, from early childhood to early adulthood.
Yoga and Dental Health: A Review REVIEW

benefit is that it eliminates stresses. During a stressful event the Human body produces various harmful chemical stimuli that affect various organs. The prolonged exposure to these chemicals leads to various metabolic, homeostatic, immunologic, endocrinal/immunological disturbances. These lead to headache, diabetes mellitus, gastric ulcerations, hypertension, etc. Numerous studies published recently have reported that Yoga reduces the stress and anxiety and triggers the neurohormonal mechanisms by suppressing sympathetic activity thus improving the autonomic functions. 6 Yoga impedes the sympathetic part of hypothalamus thus altering the human body’s sympathetic reaction such as lichen Pain Dysfunction Syndrome (MPDS), xerostomia, aphthous ulcers, bruxism and burning mouth syndrome have been effectively managed by yoga.
Attached or Not Attached: Does Different Learning Styles Exist among Students with or without Sense of Belonging amidst COVID-19?

This study was about peer attachment and learning styles being moderated by a sense of belonging among students during the COVID-19 era. Using an analytical cross-sectional survey design, 284 final-year undergraduates were selected through stratified-proportionate and convenient sampling procedures. Data was gathered from the respondents using Learning Preference Scale (Owens & Straton, 1980), Adolescent Friendship Attachment Scale (Wilkinson, 2008) and Psychological Sense of School Membership (Goodenow, 1993). The data was analysed using descriptive (Frequencies and Percentages) and inferential statistics (Multivariate Multiple Regression, Simple Moderation with Hayes Process Macro and Multivariate Analysis of Variance). The study revealed that most students engaged in less peer attachment, felt less sense of belonging while secure attachment predicted the individual learning style of students. Furthermore, secure attachment and anxious attachments predicted the cooperative learning style of students while anxious attachment and avoidant attachment predicted the competitive learning style of students. Further, a sense of belonging moderated not peer attachment and learning styles of students, while no significant differences were found between male and female students in terms of peer attachment, learning styles, and sense of belonging. Therefore, it was recommended that students should practice individual learning styles most often but could collaborate with a few colleagues in some academic situations during this period of COVID-19. This is to help foster closeness and belongingness among the students.
