ANÁLISE DOS ÍNDICES DE AGREGAÇÃO DO SOLO NA MICRO-BACIA DO CÓRREGO CAIXA D’ÁGUA EM TRAJANO DE MORAIS - RJ

Considerando o solo como um sistema aberto, os diferentes usos e praticas de manejo adotadosinterferem diretamente nos atributos fisicos do mesmo. Alem disso, a complexidade dos processosfisicos e quimicos que ocorrem no solo, muitas vezes, e de dificil mensuracao.Nessa conjectura, o monitoramento da qualidade do solo e fundamental para que haja a adocao depraticas de manejo que ajudem na conservacao do mesmo. A fim de realizar o monitoramento de umaforma adequada, o recorte espacial adotado foi a bacia hidrografica.Esta proposta de estudo se justifica pelo fato de que mudancas no uso e na cobertura do solo geramimpactos significativos no funcionamento de um geossistema. Sendo assim, as culturas desenvolvidasna bacia hidrografica do corrego Caixa D’Agua podem influenciar nas propriedades do solo e atemesmo, na dinâmica da Bacia. Neste sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar algumaspropriedades fisicas assim como a agregacao de um Latossolo em Trajano de Morais-RJ influenciadapor diferentes usos. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo na Bacia do corrego Caixa D’Agua onde foramcoletadas amostras em tres repeticoes no terco superior, medio e inferior da encosta sob diferentesusos Pasto, Caqui, Banana e Cafe em duas profundidades 0-20 cm e 20-40 cm. Com a avaliacao dadistribuicao das classes (2,0 – 1,0 – 0,5 – 0,25 – 0,125 e 1 mm, porem, a Banana, foi o uso que apresentou a maior taxa demicroagregados. O caqui, tambem apresentou uma variacao significativa quanto ao DMP,principalmente na profundidade de 0 – 20 cm, demonstrando assim, que o pisoteio para a colheita dosolo podem minimizar o ciclo de formacao dos macroagregados e por consequencia, permitir que osmicroagregados sejam preservados. Assim, e possivel constatar que diferentes usos agricolas noLatossolo estudado em Trajano de Morais, alteraram significativamente a agregacao do solo, e os usosque mais sofreram com a presenca de microagregados foram abanana e o caqui.
Severe Passenger Lymphocyte Syndrome and Acute Rejection in ABO Compatible but non-Identical Liver Transplant Recipient from Hepatitis C Viremic Donor

Background: We performed a liver transplant (LT) with a graft from a 52-year-old donor of blood group O who was HCV viremic. The recipient was a 52-year-old male with blood group A, HCV-related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: A liver biopsy performed on post-LT day 9 revealed acute T-cell-mediated rejection and the patient received three 1.0-g boluses of methylprednisolone. On day 9, the hemoglobin level dropped and the direct antiglobulin test became positive. Passenger OBM Transplantation 2018; 2(4), doi:10.21926/obm.transplant. 1804030 Page 2/10 lymphocyte syndrome (PLS) with immune hemolysis was diagnosed. Plasma exchange with intravenous immunoglobulins and rituximab were used to remove circulating antibodies. Despite this aggressive strategy, due to the pattern of cholangitis lenta, the patient underwent re-LT on day 40. Results: The immune hemolytic anemia was related to the blood-group compatible but nonidentical LT, suggesting a transfer of functionally active donor B cells, also known as PLS. Intrahepatic lymphocytes are not removed from the liver tissue by pre-LT perfusion, and engraftment of lymphocytes is facilitated by a higher lymphoid tissue relative mass within the graft. In particular, the liver of our HCV-positive donor was rich in lymphoid follicles, one of the most characteristic features of chronic hepatitis C. Furthermore, liver-associated lymphocytes located in the sinusoids and in the portal tracts, predominantly of T-type, may have increased the immunogenicity of our graft. Conclusions: Our case could be a proof of concept that transplanting a liver graft with chronic hepatitis C in ABO compatible but non-identical recipient may increase the risk of graft versus recipient and recipient versus graft immune-mediated reactions.
CARACTERÍSTICAS ASIGNADAS A PROTOTIPOS MASCULINOS Y FEMENINOS DE LIDERAZGO EFECTIVO

El objetivo del estudio fue analizar si existen diferencias en las caracteristicas asignadas a prototipos exitosos de lideres hombres y mujeres. Participaron 766 sujetos, 51% varones y 49% mujeres (Media edad = 35,93 anos). El 40,1% ocupaba puestos directivos, y el 59,9% eran subordinados. Se utilizo una encuesta disenada ad-hoc donde se solicitaba identificar dos lideres efectivos (un hombre y una mujer) y justificar la eleccion. Los resultados mostraron que, para el caso de las lideres mujeres resulta relevante que estas combinen tanto caracteristicas comunmente asociadas al genero femenino -comunales/ expresivas- (e.g. proteccion) como caracteristicas asociadas generalmente a los hombres -instrumentales/ agenticas- (e.g. firmeza). En cambio, para el caso de los lideres hombres, solo se han hallado a favor caracteristicas instrumentales (e.g. resultados obtenidos), las cuales resultan congruentes con los atributos que son comunmente asociados al liderazgo.

Challenges Associated with Anti-epilepsy Medication and Use of Complementary or Alternative Medicines among People with Epilepsy in Rural Communities of Zimbabwe

The main objective of this study was to analyze challenges associated with anti-epilepsy medication and use of complementary or alternative medicines among people with epilepsy in rural communities of Zimbabwe. The study opted for qualitative research because it is culturally specific and data collected is contextually rich. The target population was people with epilepsy and caregivers of children with epilepsy and using a snowball sampling technique, a sample of 15 people with epilepsy and 5 caregivers of children with epilepsy was selected. The study purposively selected 2 traditional healers, 2 faith healers and 2 psychiatric nurses to have their insight on complementary and alternative medicines in the community and data was collected using face-to-face in-depth interviews. Findings revealed that anti-epilepsy medication is associated with a number of challenges in rural communities, chief among them that people with epilepsy are not informed about the side-effects of anti-epilepsy medication such as stomach upset, dizziness, blurred vision and sexual dysfunction. As a plateau to these anti-epilepsy medication side-effects, they make use of traditional and spiritual medicines either as complementary or alternative to anti-epilepsy medication. They are also facing challenges of Anti-Epilepsy Drugs shortages and long distances to health facilities and consequently, they opt for complementary or alternative medicines to sustain their livelihoods. The study recommends modern healthcare providers to supply people with epilepsy with adequate information on the side-effects of drugs. Healthcare providers must have enough information on complementary and alternative medicines. Traditional and faith healers must be accommodated in epilepsy treatment because of sociocultural aspects, and they too must be educated on the relevance of the modern healthcare system in epilepsy treatment. The study finally recommends a study on the multi-cultural approach of epilepsy management in Zimbabwe.

Atmospheres: Proof Of Concept For Web-based 3d Energy Modeling For Designers With Webgl/html5 And Modern Event-driven, Asynchronous Server Systems.

This paper describes a prototype of a web-based 3D design and energy modeling platform called “Atmospheres”. A WebGL based 3D geometry modeling and data visualization interface that runs in any modern web-browser is coupled with an eventdriven, asynchronous server that runs transient, 3D energy simulations. Besides an easy to use geometry modeler and an intuitive spatial visualization of the simulation results, the web based character of the platform allows easy and instant access to state-ofthe-art 3D energy simulations and thus can potentially broaden the energy modeling user group.
Cognitive dysfunction and its impact on the person with heart failure

Heart failure is common in the UK and the incidence increases with older age. It is independently associated with cognitive impairment when the patient's memory and concentration are both affected, as is his or her ability to understand and act on self-care information. Both heart failure and poor cognition are associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation and mortality. When both are present together, the quality of life and health outcomes are worse. These potential consequences of poor cognition are now well recognised and focus is now around early identification of those at risk and developing strategies to support them.
Laparoscopic Access Techniques

The main purpose of this book is to address some important issues related to gynecologic laparoscopy. Since the early breakthroughs by its pioneers, laparoscopic gynecologic surgery has gained popularity due to developments in illumination and instrumentation that led to the emergence of laparoscopy in the late 1980's as a credible diagnostic as well as therapeutic intervention. This book is unique in that it will review common, useful information about certain laparoscopic procedures, including technique and instruments, and then discuss common difficulties faced during each operation. We also discuss the uncommon and occasionally even anecdotal cases and the safest ways to deal with them. We are honored to have had a group of world experts in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery valuably contribute to our book.
Pharmacology of pramipexole, a dopamine D3-preferring agonist useful in treating Parkinson's disease.

: Pramipexole is a clinically effective nonergot dopamine agonist. Pramipexole's receptor interactions differ from ergot agonists in several ways. First, it has high selectivity for interacting with dopamine D2 subfamily receptors (D2, D3, and D4 receptor subtypes) and has little interaction with adrenergic or serotonergic receptors. Second, within the D2 subfamily, it has preferential affinity for the D3 receptor subtype, which, according to preclinical studies, could contribute additional efficacy for treatment of both motor and psychiatric syndromes in Parkinson's disease. Third, it has full intrinsic activity at dopamine D2 subfamily receptors. In addition to pramipexole's unusual receptor profile, whole-animal and cell culture studies suggest that pramipexole might provide neuroprotective effects through depression of dopamine metabolism, antioxidant effects, and stimulation of trophic activity. Pramipexole's demonstrated clinical efficacy for successful treatment in early disease for several years in the absence of L-dopa and as adjunctive therapy with L-dopa in late disease suggests a potential new paradigm for treatment of Parkinson's disease whereby new patients are initiated with pramipexole therapy and L-dopa is added only as necessary.
New metabolic‐endocrine risk markers in endometrial cancer

An increased risk of endometrial carcinoma is associated with earlier onset of menarche' and with evidence of increased frequency of anovulatory cycles'. Increased risk is also associated with higher oestrogen and androstenedione 1evelP. Increased exposure of the endometrium to unopposed oestrogen stimulation is widely accepted as a major aetiological factor, the hypothesis being supported by the increased risk associated with oestrogen replacement therapy6 but not with combined progestin-oestrogen therapy'. The lower risk of endometrial carcinoma in premenopausal women is ascribed to the protective effect of periodic progesterone exposure8, and a protective effect by combined oestrogen-progestin oral contraceptives is ascribed to the progestin component'. The protective effect of smoking has been ascribed to a reduction in oestrogen levels'". Practically all studies confirm that a higher body mass index is associated with increased risk of endometrial carcinoma, especially in postmenopausal women, and the association increases with increasing obesity' ' I 3 . The correlation is generally ascribed to increased aromatisation of androgen to oestrogen in the increased adipose tissue and also to higher levels of free oestrogen as a result of decreased levels of sex hormone-binding globulin. However, a recent study reports that the association of risk with higher oestrogen levels in postmenopausal women is independent of obesity5. It is also unclear why higher plasma levels of oestrone and oestradiol are risk markers in postmenopausal but not in premenopausal women and why higher androstenedione levels are risk markers both in pre and postmenopausal women3-'. Androstenedione is normally converted by aromatase to oestrone and then to oestradiol, and the above observation suggests an abnormality in aromatase activity in women with endometrial carcinoma. This explanation is supported by evidence of stromal secretion of androstenedione in the ovaries of postmenopausal women with endometrial carcinoma14 and also evidence of increased aromatase activity in malignant endometrial tissue15. These findings may be linked to the altered circulating androgen-oestrogen ratio in women with endometrial carcinoma' thus offering a clue to a genetic abnormality underlying susceptibility to endometrial carcinoma.
A Review of Hypertension and Diabetes Protocols for Medical Service Trips (MSTs) in Latin America and the Caribbean

Background: Hypertension and diabetes are among the most common chronic conditions that may be managed on short-term, primary care medical service trips (MSTs) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), but the quality of patient care delivered remains unclear. Objective: This study summarizes protocols that Western volunteer clinicians use in managing these patients, and highlights their commonalities, differences, and potential limitations. Methods: A systematic web search was used to identify organizations operating MSTs in LAC. Organizations were contacted by email or through their websites to obtain clinical protocols intended for use on their brigades. These protocols were qualitatively analyzed, and recommendations were categorized into clinical assessment, non-pharmacologic recommendations, and pharmacologic recommendations. Findings: Two hundred twenty-five organizations were identified and contacted, and protocols were obtained for 20 of these. Eleven (55%) of these protocols discussed hypertension, and 10 (50%) discussed diabetes. Only one protocol provided any literature support for its recommendations. Conclusions: The analyzed protocols may give insight into context-specific realities of practice on MSTs, but they often neglected key aspects of clinical management that are emphasized in international guidelines. This study is an initial step in clinical guidelines development for MSTs operating in LAC.
Female child presenting with Duchenne muscular dystrophy like phenotype: severe childhood autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy: a rare case report

Severe Childhood Autosomal Recessive Muscular Dystrophy (SCARMD) is a variant of sarcoglycanopathy resulting from mutation in the sarcoglycan genes. SCARMD is a rare form of muscular dystrophy characterised by severe DMD like phenotype occurring at early ages and affecting boys as well as girls. Here we are reporting a case of 7year old female child born to 3rd degree consanguineous parents presented with proximal muscle weakness beginning in both lower limbs since4 years of age. On thorough clinical examination and laboratory evaluation child turned out to be SCARMD. Hence this case report emphasizes that suspicion of SCARMD has to be made when female children presented with features of DMD, and genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis should be done to reduce the burden of the disease in the community.
Why Should Economic Evaluations of Medical Innovations Have a Societal Perspective?

In this Briefing, five leading European experts in health economics provide a comprehensive international review of changes in health economic evaluation and the reasons for them. The authors express concern that the basis for health care decision making today has evolved away from the societal perspective of cost benefit analysis to the payer perspective of cost-effectiveness analysis. Most voluntary and mandatory guidelines for evaluating medical innovation now encourage or require this narrower, budget-based payer perspective. As a result, they argue, decisions often are suboptimal, for both health care and economies as a whole.

Risico beoordeling opbloei Alexandrium ostenfeldii in het Kustlaboratorium en mitigerende maatregelen

In de zomer van 2012 en 2013 is de potentieel toxische alg Alexandrium ostenfeldii in de Ouwerkerkse kreek op Schouwen-Duiveland aangetroffen. Deze kreek loost op de Oosterschelde. De algensoort is ook aangetroffen in de Oosterschelde in de nabijheid van het lozingspunt van de kreek. Zodoende bestaat bij mosselkwekers zorgen over de mogelijke aanwezigheid van de toxische alg in de uitstroom vanuit het Kustlaboratorium (van aquacultuur) naar de Oosterschelde waar zich mosselpercelen bevinden. De huidige deskstudie inventariseert de risico’s en doet voorstellen voor mitigerende maatregelen.
IP telephony shifts from unified communications to social media

Since 2000 companies have been implementing IP telephony. Unified communications was the next step, flowed by Video-conferencing. In 2009 positioning and location based services were added to mobile devices. Today we are moving to social media systems. Workgroups need to share information and benefit from this new technology. In the upcoming years even more more video will be used. Telcos should prepare for loss of revenue on current support contacts, but there is potential revenue from high speed SIP links, hosted IP-PBXes, social media systems and mass storage systems

The Art of the Interface in Mixed Realities: Predessors and Visions

The approach of this paper is broad and historical; it attempts to expand a narrow technical view by looking at historic art media together with contemporary media art. By focusing on recent art against the backdrop of historic developments, it is possible to better analyze and grasp what is really new in media art and, using cornerstones from the history of media of illusion and immersion, it is a material and theoretical contribution to a new, emerging discipline: the science of the image. Where and how does the new genre of virtual art fit into the art history of illusion and immersion in the image, that is, how do older elements continue to live on and influence this contemporary art? What part does this play in the current metamorphosis of the concepts of art and the image?
Improving the detection of metamorphic malware through data dependency graphs indexing

Metamorphism have been successfully used in original malicious code to the creation and proliferation of new malware instances, making them harder to detect. This work presents an approach that identifies metamorphic malware through data dependency graphs comparison. Features are extracted on data dependency graphs to build an index that is used to determine which malware family a suspicious code belongs to. Experimental results on 3045 samples of metamorphic malware showed that our proposed approach obtained accuracy rate higher than most commercial anti-malware tools.
