Mapeamento dos bancos de dados em dispositivos médicos: revisão narrativa e o cenário brasileiro para avaliação com dados de mundo real (RWD)

Objetivo: Pretendeu-se mapear os bancos de dados governamentais em dispositivos médicos, na perspectiva pública com o intuito de contribuir como fonte para gerar dados de mundo real (RWD) e potencial para subsidiar estudos de Avaliação de Tecnologias em Saúde (ATS). Métodos: Realizada revisão narrativa na base de dados do Embase. Os critérios para inclusão de elegibilidade foram: i) dimensão ampla de RDW nos processos de gestão de tecnologias; e ii) aplicação de RDW em processos regulatórios, cobertura e ATS. Também foram consultados os sistemas do Ministério da Saúde e da Anvisa. Resultados: A busca retornou 1.185 resultados; após leitura dos resumos, foram selecionados 29 artigos, sendo 5 incluídos. Na consulta ao catálogo do Datasus, foram localizados 262 sistemas informatizados; após análise da descrição sumária e principais objetivos, foram selecionados 12 sistemas que geram dados sobre dispositivos médicos. A falta de interoperabilidade dos sistemas é recorrente e a ausência de uma nomenclatura padronizada é um desafio a mais. Conclusão: Há crescente discussão do uso de RWD para subsidiar ATS em todo o ciclo de vida tecnológico, desde regulação até monitoramento do uso, como também para subsidiar análises de custo-efetividade e benefícios clínicos. Assim como nos demais países, o Brasil sistematizou inicialmente os dados administrativos para atender às demandas comerciais e financeiras. Os sistemas não geram dados dos resultados clínicos. São disponibilizados dados das tecnologias dispensadas e dos valores repassados e não são coletadas as informações dos benefícios do uso dessas tecnologias. Com a evolução dos métodos de ATS, a utilização de RWD tornou-se relevante.
Electrochemical testing platform for advanced energy materials

Throughout history, the Li-ion battery technology has relied on cationic redox reactions as the sole source of energy storage capacity. This is no longer true since 2013, where our group had demonstrated that Li-driven reversible formation of (O2)n peroxo-groups in new layered oxides led to extraordinary increases in energy storage capacity. To fully exploit this discovery we were granted in 2015 an advanced ERC grant entitled ""Anionic redox processes: A transformational approach for advanced energy materials (ARPEMA)"", the goal being to rationalize the fundamental science underpinning this new concept. This calls for new paradigms in characterization techniques to fully track among others the stability of these new compounds as well as the side reactions that they could generate at both electrodes during cycling together with their transport and kinetic properties. To address this critical need we developed a new design test system which enables for monitoring potential, current, temperature, pressure as well as the nature and composition of the released gases together with the impedance built-up at each electrode. Owing to the relative simplicity, high versatility and great reliability of such a new-patented multi-function testing device we anticipate its rapid implementation to various battery technologies. The goal of this project is to develop a proof of concept prototype and a small series production, as well as performing an extensive market analysis and budgeting suppliers, all for establishing an accurate business proposition. This information will be consolidated in a business plan and will be used in the creation of a company together with potential investors. We believe that this device will enable a rapid development of the next generation of high energy density batteries and consists in a global market commercial opportunity.
Removal of both Ycf48 and Psb27 in<i>Synechocystis</i>sp. PCC 6803 disrupts Photosystem II assembly and alters Q<sub>A</sub><sup>−</sup>oxidation in the mature complex

The Photosystem II (PS II) assembly factors Psb27 and Ycf48 are transiently associated with PS II during its biogenesis and repair pathways. We investigated the function of these proteins by constructing knockout mutants in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In ΔYcf48 cells, PS II electron transfer and stable oxygen evolution were perturbed. Additionally, Psb27 was required for photoautotrophic growth of cells lacking Ycf48 and assembly beyond the RC47 assembly complex in ΔYcf48:ΔPsb27 cells was impeded. Our results suggest the RC47 complex formed in ΔYcf48 cells is defective and that this deficiency is exacerbated if CP43 binds in the absence of Psb27.

Race, church, and colonial government in the atlantic: the case of angola in the age of enlightenment

ATLANTIC_ANGOLA seeks to address the issue of race by analyzing its intersections with religion/church and colonial government in Angola in the second half of the 18th-century/beginning of the 19th century. Being the main provider of slaves to Brazil, Angola had a significant role for the economic success of the Portuguese South American colony, but also in the broader context of the Portuguese empire, due its privileged geographic position in the way between Asia and Brazil. That explains the increasing attention it started to receive from the Portuguese Crown after c. 1750.The aim of ATLANTIC_ANGOLA is to understand the role of the Catholic Church in disciplining and controlling the population, and instilling ideas of racial difference. The project hypothesis is that at least part of the population resisted the disciplining aims of the rulers. That resistance took different forms, but the result was the constitution of a creolized society, mainly in the city of Luanda and its hinterland. The project will contribute to the discussion of the relations between races and perceptions of the “other” in the context of the Portuguese empire. Doing so, ATLANTIC_ANGOLA proposes a path-breaking approach to problems still understudied concerning the history of European colonization of Africa before the 19th century. It will help to develop a better understanding of the historical dynamics of the relations between Europe and Africa over the longue durée. It will also contribute to the historical explanation of the long-term effects of the colonization and the formation of the post-colonial societies, but also to the perception both of the Europeans towards Africa and Africans, and those towards Europe. As to the more tangible outcomes of this project, they include 2 books, 3 articles in major peer-reviewed journals, 1 international conference, a talk series, and the setting-up of an online project.
Fase I do Plano de Desenvolvimento

O objetivo do projeto é desenvolver e lançar em novos mercados a plataforma de software UKU, que levará a um aumento da capacidade de exportação e receita de vendas da empresa. O projeto é cofinanciado pela Empresa Estónia com 308 115 EUR do Programa de Desenvolvimento Empresarial.

Exploring the Electron Transfer Pathway in the Oxidation of Avermectin by CYP107Z13 in Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ZB01

Streptomyces ahygroscopicus ZB01 can effectively oxidize 4″-OH of avermectin to form 4″-oxo-avermectin. CYP107Z13 is responsible for this site-specific oxidation in ZB01. In the present study, we explored the electron transfer pathway in oxidation of avermectin by CYP107Z13 in ZB01. A putative [3Fe-4S] ferredoxin gene fd68 and two possible NADH-dependent ferredoxin reductase genes fdr18 and fdr28 were cloned from the genomic DNA of ZB01. fd68 gene disruption mutants showed no catalytic activity in oxidation of avermectin to form 4″-oxo-avermectin. To clarify whether FdR18 and FdR28 participate in the electron transfer during avermectin oxidation by CYP107Z13, two whole-cell biocatalytic systems were designed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), with one co-expressing CYP107Z13, Fd68 and FdR18 and the other co-expressing CYP107Z13, Fd68 and FdR28. Both of the two biocatalytic systems were found to be able to mediate the oxidation of avermectin to form 4″-oxo-avermectin. Thus, we propose an electron transfer pathway NADH→FdR18/FdR28→Fd68→CYP107Z13 for oxidation of avermectin to form 4″-oxo-avermectin in ZB01.
Measurement of toothbrushing behaviour in a natural environment

The present paper discusses the measurement and analysis of toothbrushing activity under real-life conditions. To measure the activity, acceleration data are collected by means of a sensor brush. The data logging is triggered by super-threshold values of acceleration, which can give rise to false activations by non-brushing activities. Thus, a post-processing of appropriate data features is performed, which involves the application of an adaptive clustering technique. The timing of the identified toothbrushing events allows, e.g., to construct a time profile of brush usage over the day. The method is illustrated with results from an oralcare intervention campaign. This shows the potency to generate reliable insights, such as the effect of the intervention on subgroups, which are difficult to obtain by classical methods such as questionnaires.
NEtWorking ports to promote intermodal TranspOrt and better access to hinterlaNd

The project NEW.TON aims at promoting intermodal transport, increasing accessibility and connections with marginal internal areas, taking advantage of the potentialities of TEN Egnatia road axis. It draws up supporting actions for a new ro-ro/ro-pax link-line Taranto-Igoumenitsa, outlines the setting-up and management of administrative-electronic procedures in port activities. Project idea arises from the primary need to tackle the upcoming opening of the TEN Via Egnatia, connecting Igoumenitsa to Kipi, near Istanbul, and, with 9 vertical axis, to Albany and Bulgaria. This will be one of the major axis for the South-eastern Mediterranean area and represents a key opportunity for the improvement of transports and, accordingly, for the economy of the countries concerned. The success and full exploitation of the new axis depends also on the efficacy of management systems. Authorities concerned will have to face and overcome the increased road transport, adopting proper and integrated strategies. The intermodal approach and the promotion of maritime transport services are thus crucial. NEW.TON final goal is to provide ports and other actors with the conditions required to face this new scenario. The specific objectives are: • To start up coordination initiatives among involved partners and key stakeholders. • To promote new sea ro-ro/ro-pax connections. • To point out and promote the usage of shared and efficient procedures for handling, up- and downloading, trans-shipment and stocking of goods. • To activate communication and awareness initiatives aiming at promoting the role of ports in intermodal transports, as gateway to hinterlands, and opportunities arising from project outputs. Foreseen activities include networking actions, detailed studies and analyses, the development of an IT tool, and specific information/awareness actions. Expected outputs are: • A feasibility study and a detailed Business Plan for the set-up of a new ro-ro/ro-pax route Taranto-Igoumenitsa. • A new IT tool, specifically developed to manage the organisation, trade and administrative processes of intermodal-transnational freights transport in an integrated and efficient way. • The set-up and implementation of a complete communication campaign including: organisation of 3 local workshops plus a common final conference, publication and diffusion of a project web-site and leaflets (at least 20.000 copies), participation in 3 national/international exhibitions, redaction of articles. The direct beneficiaries of NEW.TON are actors involved in the transportation chain (ports authorities, shipping agencies, forwarders, carriers, etc.) even if all other economic actors of the concerned area will benefit from increased offer and effectiveness of transport services
Authent-Net – food authenticity research network

It is acknowledged that historically anti-food fraud capability within Europe has not been consolidated and lacks the coordination and support structures available to those working in food safety.  There are various initiatives underway to redress this balance e.g. DGSanté’s Food Fraud network, DG Research’s FoodIntegrity project, as well as numerous national programmes and industry initiatives.  One pivotal area that still needs to be addressed is bringing together national research funding bodies to facilitate the development of transnational research programmes. AUTHENT-NET will address this need by mobilising and coordinating relevant research budget holders in order to facilitate the eventual development of a transnational European funding vehicle that will allow Members States (MS) to jointly fund anti-fraud research.   Authent-Net comprises a core group of 19 participants from 10 MS, 1 NGO and the US, who are either National research funding bodies; experts in food authenticity, and/or experts in transnational funding mechanisms. AUTHENT-NET will:

1) Bring together relevant MS R&D budget holders to coordinate inter-disciplinary research effort and build a cohesive and sustainable network

2) Undertake stocktaking of existing national research and assess against the international landscape

3) Establish transnational mechanisms and instruments for collating and exchanging information  on food authenticity research

4) Develop a high level research and innovation strategy for transnational research and a rationale for a potential ERANET on food authenticity

The two year project will have the following expected impacts: improved coordination and communication between relevant MS research budget holders; enhanced cognisance of existing national research; joint strategy for food fraud R&D; agreed priorities and capability to deliver transnational European research on food fraud.
Poisson–Boltzmann Theory of Charged Lipid Membranes

Poisson–Boltzmann theory constitutes a mean-field approach to model the structure of the electric double layer near charged surfaces. We recapitulate how the Poisson–Boltzmann equation follows from the functional minimization of an appropriate free energy functional and discuss its application to charged lipid membranes. Specifically, we analyze a single planar surface and two interacting planar surfaces as models for isolated and interacting lipid layers, respectively. We apply these results to the modeling of macroion adsorption onto a mixed anionic/neutral membrane thereby accounting for the lateral mobility of the lipids. The article concludes with a discussion of the electrostatic coupling across the two leaflets of a lipid bilayer.

Research on the Extraction Method of Coral Reef at Spratly Islands Using SPOT5

Coral reef plays an important role in marine ecosystem.Extracting coral reef information with remote sensing starts late in China and is mainly based on visual interpretation.This paper tries to extract the component information of Swallow Reef and Dallas Reef in Nansha Islands automatically using SPOT5 10 m multispectral data,aiming to explore its identification capability of subsurface information of coral reef.First,the remotely-sensed information was separated into two parts using threshold segmentation method:information above the sea surface and that below the sea surface.After implementing Deglint correction on the latter part of information and introducing a derived band from SPOT5 with it,these images being grouped into 4 different kinds of combinations,were classified using maximum likelihood method.At last,the classification results are compared with QuickBird images,which are regarded as the truth data when the ground data is absent.Results indicate that Deglint correction can reduce the surface noise effectively.NIR band may help avoid the errors in classification caused by the different depth of the sea in some extent.The effect is not as good as expected when the derived band takes place of NIR.In sum,through processes designed in this paper,we could use SPOT5 10 m multispectral data to map components of the coral reef at more than 80% accuracy.

Study on the Spatial – Temporal Variability of Soil Nutrients during Winter Wheat Growth Season

The object of the study is to analyze the spatial-temporal variability of soil nutrients in the winter wheat growing season, and try to reveal the dynamic change of soil nutrients in winter wheat field. Measurements of soil nitrate nitrogen (NN), total nitrogen (TN) and available potassium (AK) in wheat field were taken at 132 sample points in April and June, 2006. Classical statistical method and geostatistics method were used in this study. The classical statistical analysis results indicate the average value of NN content decreased obviously from April to June, and the value of AK decreased slightly. But there were no change for the mean of TN content from April to June. All soil nutrient both in April and June were medium-degree variations. From the spatial distribution maps of soil variables, soil NN changed obviously on distribution between April and June. However, soil TN and AK had the similar spatial distribution that high in the northeast part and low in the southwest of the study field. In summary, winter wheat growth had great effect on soil NN content, whereas little effect on TN and AK. The differences of NN, TN and AK between June and April were negative in most areas and the absorptive capacity of winter wheat was different in different places.
LSC 2011 Abstract: Bronchoalveolar lavage in radiation pneumonitis after radiotherapy for breast cancer

Radiation pneumonitis is a complication of radiotherapy which limits its application in cancer therapy. Aim: To compare the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) findings in patients with symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) versus asymptomatic RP. Material and method: We evaluated 65 female patients with RP after radiotherapy for breast cancer. Results: Forty-nine patients were symptomatic (fever, cough and/or dyspnea) and 16 were asymptomatic. All patients had a newly discovered infiltrate or consolidation on chest radiography, corresponding to the radiation field. BAL in symptomatic patients had an increased number of cells. Lymphocytosis was present in all patients with RP, but it was higher in symptomatic (34.9±18.81% vs. 26.14±14.3%). Macrophages were decreased in all patients. Neutrophils were slightly increased (8.88% in symptomatic and 3.34% in asymptomatic) and eosinophils were normal in both groups (2.56% and 1.22, respectively). Almost all lymphocytes were T type (CD3+). CD4+ lymphocytes were increased in both groups with normal CD4/CD8 ratio (2.72 in symptomatic and 1.5 in asymptomatic group). Conclusion: Lymphocytic alveolitis with T lymphocytes was present in all patients with RP with a higher proportion in symptomatic patients.
