Published: October 2024

Este artigo aborda os fatores predisponentes a hipersensibilidade dentinária associado ao clareamento dental, que se caracteriza por uma dor breve, aguda e súbita que é sugerida pela exposição da dentina a um estímulo térmico, evaporativo, tátil, osmótico ou químico que não pode ser atribuído ao tipo de dentina de qualquer defeito dentário ou doença. Essa análise tem por objetivo descrever os fatores de impacto da hipersensibilidade nos casos de clareamento dental, coletando informações sobre a técnica de clareamento e os materiais utilizados, comparando as técnicas e seus efeitos na hipersensibilidade e em seguida relatando as possíveis condições pré-dispostas do paciente para o desenvolvimento da hipersensibilidade após o procedimento clareador. O agente clareador é capaz de adentrar nos dentes e agir sobre as partículas pigmentares, promovendo dentes mais brancos. Apesar do procedimento ser um método simples e eficaz, a literatura aborda os efeitos danosos acerca do clareamento dental. O estresse oxidativo provocado pela presença do peróxido de hidrogênio na dentina ocasiona dor ao paciente após o procedimento. Com isso, o cirurgião-dentista deve avaliar e tratar as condições predisponentes, como a presença de recessões; retrações gengivais; lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNC), cáries, trincas no esmalte ou dentina e restaurações mal adaptadas antes de realizar clareamento, para evitar prolongamento do efeito oxidativo, evitando assim a sensibilidade dentinária.

Abstract. This study was conducted to determine the effect of a selenium (Se)-enriched yeast-based diet on the performance; blood biochemistry; and Se concentration in the eggs, breast muscle, and some internal organs of laying Japanese quails. A total of 320 healthy female quails were randomly selected and assigned to four dietary groups. The dietary treatment groups consisted of a standard basal diet (control) without supplementation of Se-enriched yeast (SY) and other groups in which Se was supplemented at 1.5 mg (SY-1.5), 2.5 mg (SY-2.5), and 3.5 kg−1 (SY-3.5). Results showed that quails in SY-3.5 had high (p<0.05) body weight gain. Egg production was improved in SY-2.5 and SY-3.5 groups compared to in the control. Significantly (p<0.05) higher contents of Se in yolk and albumen were observed in the SY-3.5 group. The Se concentration of the breast muscle was higher (p<0.05) in quails of the SY-3.5 group, whereas the liver, kidney, and heart had a high Se content in the SY-2.5 and SY-3.5 groups. Intestinal histological features were improved (p<0.05) in the SY-3.5 group. Overall, this study suggests that adding SY-3.5 to the diet of quails improved their growth and health, as well as the Se content in eggs and meat.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The tropopause is an important transition layer and can be a diagnostic of upper-tropospheric and lower-stratospheric structures, exhibiting unique atmospheric thermal and dynamic characteristics. A comprehensive understanding of the evolution of fine tropopause structures is necessary and primary for the further study of complex multi-scale atmospheric physical–chemical coupling processes in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. A novel method utilizing the bi-Gaussian function is capable of identifying the characteristic parameters of vertical tropopause structures and providing information on double-tropopause (DT) structures. The new method improves the definition of the cold-point tropopause and detects one (or two) of the most significant local cold points by fitting the temperature profiles to the bi-Gaussian function, which defines the point(s) as the tropopause height(s). The bi-Gaussian function exhibits excellent potential for explicating the variation trends of temperature profiles. The results of the bi-Gaussian method and lapse rate tropopause, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization, are compared in detail for different cases. Results indicate that the bi-Gaussian method is able to more stably and obviously identify the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the thermal tropopauses, even in the presence of multiple temperature inversion layers at higher elevations. Moreover, 5 years of historical radiosonde data from China (from 2012 to 2016) revealed that the occurrence frequency and thickness of the DT, as well as the single-tropopause height and the first and second DT heights, displayed significant meridional monotonic variations. The occurrence frequency (thickness) of the DT increased from 1.07 % (1.96 km) to 47.19 % (5.42 km) in the latitude range of 16–50° N. The meridional gradients of tropopause height were relatively large in the latitude range of 30–40° N, essentially corresponding to the climatological locations of the subtropical jet and the Tibetan Plateau.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. We demonstrate a measurement of aerosol absorption at three wavelengths using a highly sensitive photoacoustic spectrometer. The acoustic signal is detected with a cantilever microphone, which allows sensitive detection without the need to apply acoustic resonance to enhance the signal. The lack of resonator makes the instrument compact and well suited for field measurements. A portable instrument employing the method was developed and deployed for black carbon monitoring at an air quality measurement station. The method shows excellent sensitivity for in-situ aerosol absorption measurement, with detection limits of 0.016, 0.025 and 0.041 Mm-1, for simultaneous measurements at the wavelengths 445, 520 and 638 nm, respectively, using 1 hour averaging time. The black carbon concentration measured with the new instrument is compared against filter-based photometers operating at the site, showing high correlation.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The growing fleet of Earth Observation (EO) satellites is capturing unprecedented quantities of information about the concentration and distribution of trace gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Depending on the instrument and algorithm, the yield of good remote soundings can be a few percent owing to interferences such as clouds, non-linearities in the retrieval algorithm, and systematic errors in radiative transfer algorithm leading to inefficient use of computational resources.  In this study, we investigate Machine Learning (ML) techniques to predict failures in the trace gas retrieval process based upon the input satellite radiances alone allowing for efficient production of good-quality data. We apply this technique to ozone and other retrievals using measurements from two sets of measurements: Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (Suomi NPP CrIS), and joint retrievals from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) – Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). Retrievals are performed using the MUlti-SpEctra, MUlti-SpEcies, Multi-SEnsors (MUSES) algorithm. With this tool, we can identify 80 % of ozone retrieval failures using the MUSES algorithm, at a cost of 20 % false positives from CrIS. For AIRS-OMI, 98 % of ozone retrieval failures are identified, at a cost of 2 % false positives. The ML tool is simple to generate and takes < 0.1 s to assess each measured spectrum. The results suggest this tool can be applied to many EO satellites, and reduce the processing load for current and future instruments.
Disaster Management Following the Great Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes in 2023, Türkiye
Authors: Sari Bektaş
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Türkiye experienced devastating earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023, making it one of the most severe tragedies of the century. This study analyzed the Turkish Government's response strategies to these earthquakes, focusing on crisis communication, response capacity, and crisis management. The study utilized qualitative methodology and purposive sampling, with the government-affiliated Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) as a sample. Starting on February 6, 2023, 25 days of official tweets and press statements from the AFAD were analyzed. AFAD's initial press statement was released 13 minutes after the quake, and the declaration of a level four disaster occurred only 86 minutes after the earthquake, demonstrating that state institutions were fully aware of the severity of the situation. The results indicate to the global community that despite extensive rescue and response capabilities in disaster management, there are still challenges to prevent loss of life. The primary focus should be on disaster prevention and mitigation efforts, prioritizing solid building construction and strict control policies. The presence of over 270 thousands volunteer rescuers is a testament to the remarkable spirit of solidarity. Furthermore, social media played a pivotal role in information management and coordination in the aftermath of the earthquakes.
The Critical Role of Aqueous-Phase Processes in Aromatic-Derived Nitrogen-Containing Organic Aerosol Formation in Cities with Different Energy Consumption Patterns

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Nitrogen-containing organic compounds (NOCs) impact air quality and human health. Here, the abundance, potential precursors, and main formation mechanisms of NOCs in PM2.5 during winter were compared for the first time among Haerbin (coal-dependent for heating), Beijing (natural gas and coal as heating energy), and Hangzhou (no centralized heating policy). The total signal intensity of CHON+, CHN+, and CHON− compounds was highest in Haerbin and lowest in Hangzhou. Anthropogenic aromatics accounted for 73 %‒93 % of all identified precursors of CHON+, CHN+, and CHON− compounds in Haerbin. Although the abundance of aromatics-derived NOCs was lower in Beijing than in Haerbin, aromatics were also the main contributors to NOC formation in Beijing. Hangzhou exhibited the lowest levels of aromatic precursors. Furthermore, non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis indicated an overall reduction in the impact of fossil fuel combustion on NOC pollution along the route from Haerbin to Beijing to Hangzhou. We found that aqueous-phase processes (mainly condensation, hydrolysis or dehydration processes for reduced NOCs, and mainly oxidization or hydrolysis processes for oxidized NOCs) can promote the transformation of precursors to produce NOCs, leading to the most significant increase in aromatic NOC levels in Haerbin (particularly on haze days). Reduced precursor emissions in Beijing and Hangzhou (the lowest) constrained the aqueous-phase formation of NOCs. The overall results suggest that the aerosol NOC pollution in coal-dependent cities is mainly controlled by anthropogenic aromatics and aqueous-phase processes. Thus, without effective emission controls, the formation of NOCs through aqueous-phase processes may still pose a large threat to air quality.

Abstract. Severe thunderstorms are among the most damaging and impactful weather phenomena. In Europe, notable clusters occur in the vicinity of complex terrain. These areas not only experience frequent thunderstorms but also show a strong climate change signal with an increasing storm frequency. Despite the relevance of the subject, our understanding of severe convection in complex terrain, particularly in a changing climate, remains incomplete. This review presents the current state of the research on thunderstorms in complex orography, covering storm severity, modification of pre-storm environments, convection initiation, storm-scale interactions with complex terrain, impactful hazards, numerical modeling and forecasting, climatologies and climate change signals, as well as innovative storm observations. Highlighting the gaps in our understanding, this review underscores the need for a coordinated European field campaign on Thunderstorm Intensification from Mountains to Plains (TIM). Initial plans for the TIM campaign built by participating authors and institutions of this article are briefly outlined. Obtaining coordinated and dense data on orographically driven storms is a key step toward improving warnings, forecasts, future climate projections, and adaptation measures.

Abstract. This study introduces a novel approach to post-processing (i.e., downscaling and bias-correcting) reanalysis-driven regional climate model daily precipitation that is capable of generalising to ungauged mountain locations by leveraging sparse in situ observations and a probabilistic regression framework. We call this post-processing approach Generalised Probabilistic Regression (GPR), and implement it using both generalised linear models and artificial neural networks (i.e., multilayer perceptrons). By testing the GPR post-processing approach across three Hindu Kush-Karakoram-Himalaya basins with varying hydro-meteorological characteristics and four experiments, which are representative of real-world scenarios, we find it performs consistently much better than both raw regional climate model output and deterministic bias correction methods for generalising daily precipitation post-processing to ungauged locations. We also find that GPR models are flexible and can be trained using data from a single region or multiple regions combined together, without major impacts on model performance. Additionally, we show that the GPR approach results in superior skill for post-processing entirely ungauged regions, by leveraging data from other regions, as well as ungauged high-elevation ranges. This suggests that GPR models have potential for extending post-processing of daily precipitation to ungauged areas of HKH. Whilst multilayer perceptrons yield marginally improved results overall, generalised linear models are a robust choice particularly for data-scarce scenarios, i.e., post-processing extreme precipitation events and generalising to completely ungauged regions.
Comparison of high-resolution climate reanalysis datasets for hydro-climatic impact studies

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Continuous high-quality meteorological information is needed to describe and understand extreme hydro-climatic events, such as droughts and floods. Information of highest quality relying on observations is often only available on a national level and for few meteorological variables. As an alternative, large-scale climate reanalysis datasets blending model simulations with observations are often used. However, their performance can be biased due to coarse spatial resolution, model uncertainty, and data assimilation biases. Previous studies on the performance of reanalysis datasets either focused on the global scale, on single variables, or on few aspects of the hydro-climate. Therefore, we here conduct a comprehensive spatio-temporal evaluation of different precipitation, temperature and snowfall metrics for four state-of-the-art reanalysis datasets (ERA5, ERA5-Land, CERRA-Land, and CHELSA-v2.1) over complex terrain. We consider climatologies of mean and extreme climate metrics, daily to inter-annual variability, as well as the consistency in long term trends. Further, we compare the representation of extreme events, namely the intensity and severity of the 2003 and 2018 droughts, as well as the 1999 and 2005 floods in Switzerland. The datasets generally show a satisfactory performance for most of these characteristics, exceptions being the representation of snowfall (solid precipitation) and the number of wet days in ERA5 and ERA5-Land. Our results show clear differences in the representation of precipitation among datasets and a substantial improvement of the representation of precipitation in CERRA-Land compared to the other datasets. In contrast to precipitation, temperature is more comparable among datasets, with CERRA-Land and CHELSA showing smaller biases yet a clear increase of bias with elevation. All datasets are able to identify the 2003 and 2018 drought events, however, ERA5, ERA5-Land, and CHELSA overestimate their intensity and severity, while CERRA-Land underestimates it. The 1999 and 2005 floods are overall well represented by all datasets, with CERRA-Land showing the best agreement with observations and the other datasets overestimating the spatial extent of the events. We conclude that overall, CERRA-Land is the most reliable dataset and suitable for a broad range of analyses, particularly for regions where snow processes are relevant and for applications where the representation of daily to inter-annual precipitation variability is important.
cigFacies: a massive-scale benchmark dataset of seismic facies and its application

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Seismic facies classiﬁcation is crucial for seismic stratigraphic interpretation and hydrocarbon reservoir characterization but remains a tedious and time-consuming task that requires signiﬁcant manual effort. The data-driven deep learning approaches are highly promising to automate the seismic facies classiﬁcation with high efﬁciency and accuracy, as they have already achieved signiﬁcant success in similar image classiﬁcation tasks within the ﬁeld of computer vision (CV). However, unlike the CV domain, the ﬁeld of seismic exploration lacks a comprehensive benchmark dataset for seismic facies, severely limiting the development, application, and evaluation of deep learning approaches in seismic facies classiﬁcation. To address this gap, we propose a comprehensive workﬂow to construct a massive-scale benchmark dataset of seismic facies and evaluate its effectiveness in training a deep learning model. Speciﬁcally, we ﬁrst develop a knowledge graph of seismic facies based on the geological concepts and seismic reﬂection conﬁgurations. Guided by the graph, we then implement three strategies of ﬁeld seismic data curation, knowledge-guided synthesization, and GAN-based generation to construct a benchmark dataset of 8000 diverse samples for ﬁve common seismic facies. Finally, we use the benchmark dataset to train a network and then apply it on two 3-D seismic data for automatic seismic facies classiﬁcation. The predictions are highly consistent with expert interpretation results, demonstrating the diversity and representativeness of our benchmark dataset is sufﬁcient to train a network that can generalize well in seismic facies classiﬁcation across ﬁeld data. We have made this dataset, the trained model and associated codes publicly available for further research and validation of intelligent seismic facies classiﬁcation.
Technical Note: Benchmark time-temperature paths provide a shared framework for evaluating and communicating thermochronologic data interpretation
Authors: Stevens Goddard Andrea L. , Murray Kendra E. , Abbey Alyssa L. , Wildman Mark
Published: October 2024

Abstract. We present a set of six time-temperature (tT) histories, called benchmark paths, that can be used as a shared framework for evaluating the sensitivity of a thermochronologic system to the variables inherent in the interpretation of thermochronologic data (e.g., kinetics models, mineral compositions or geometries, etc.). These benchmark paths span 100 Myr, include monotonic and nonmonotonic histories that represent plausible geologic scenarios, and have a range of cooling rates through different chronometer partial-retention/annealing temperatures. Here, we demonstrate their utility by presenting a method for tuning these paths to 11 different kinetics models for the apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He (n=5), apatite fission-track (n=2), and zircon (U-Th)/He (n=4) systems. These tuned tT paths provide a practical comparison of the kinetics models for each system and the data patterns they predict, thereby offering anyone performing thermal history analysis the ability to consider how their choice of kinetics model may impact their data interpretation. The adoption of benchmark paths for evaluating kinetics models and other variables provides a practical way for the thermochronology community to evaluate and communicate the decision making processes that are inherent in thermochronologic modeling and data interpretation.
Cairns-Tsallis distribution applied to differences of magnetic field intensity in solar wind
Authors: Sánchez Ewin , Vega-Jorquera Pedro
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Relevance of the Cairns-Tsallis probability distribution in its application to time series of spatial magnetic field differences is shown. In particular, we explore its ability to explain the data obtained by the Ulysses mission during solar cycles 23 and 24. Our findings reveal that the Cairns-Tsallis density function provides an optimal fit to the data, showing a sensitivity to the small time scale of magnetic field changes. Fit parameters obtained with this model were analyzed, as well as some multifractal indices obtained through corresponding time series analysis. Furthermore, significant discrepancies have been identified between our results and those obtained by other authors, highlighting the appropriateness of the Cairns-Tsallis distribution in capturing the underlying complexity in the data.

Abstract. We describe, at an elementary level, the spatially varying properties of the ocean that physical ocean models represent, the principles they use to evolve these properties with time, the physical phenomena that they simulate, and some of the roles these phenomena play within the Earth system. We also describe, in some technical detail, the methods and approximations that the models use and the difficulties that limit their accuracy or reliability.
High School Enabling Programs, Learning Journeys, and Transitions: Measuring Effectiveness from the Student Perspective
Authors: Maclaurin Anita , Sturniolo-Baker Rebekah , Shaw Sue , Monteith Deb
Published: October 2024

University enabling programs provide historically underrepresented students with aspirational gateways and the academic skills and knowledges essential for success at university. Measurement of the efficacy of such programs has been typically neoliberal and quantitative in nature. This article argues for a nuanced measurement of success, exploring the efficacy of enabling programs from the students’ perspective to reduce marginalising the lived experience of enabling students. A phenomenologically inspired, qualitative online survey was made available to students enrolled in two high school enabling programs at Murdoch University, TLC Learning for Tomorrow, and FlexiTrack High, and an interpretative phenomenological analysis was performed on the data. The key findings indicate that enabling students feel well equipped for first year transition, but some barriers endure. The qualitative evidence could give rise to the creation of a more holistic measure of student success and encourage universities to develop stronger transition strategies for equity groups.
Imagens subjetivas de realidades objetivas: o que estamos fazendo com o nome de curricularização da extensão?
Authors: Rosane Paz Arruda Teo Carla , Maria Alves Solange
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo, objetiva-se compreender como a extensão tem sido curricularizada na Educação Superior brasileira. Foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica, cuja fonte de dados foi um conjunto de oito relatos de experiência selecionados segundo a metodologia do Estado do Conhecimento. A perspectiva teórica foi histórico-cultural, cujo fundamento é o materialismo histórico-dialético. A análise, qualitativa, foi realizada em termos dos procedimentos de implementação da curricularização da extensão e das concepções subjacentes ao processo. Foi observada uma diversidade de mecanismos e ações adotados na curricularização, com alguns sugerindo equívocos de interpretação da legislação vigente. Constatou-se predominância da concepção tradicional de extensão, que surge como capacitação e treinamento, em prejuízo de uma práxis educativa promotora de desenvolvimento humano. Ademais, restam lacunas sobre o processo, entre as quais se destacam a curricularização no ensino noturno, com estudantes trabalhadores, e a compreensão de conceitos-chave, tais como interação dialógica, participação, transformação e pertinência social.

Authors: Kulcitkaia Stela , Popa Vasile , Ivanes Igor , Prepelita Alina
Published: October 2024

This study focuses on the impact of viral hepatitis (VH) co-infection on patients with tuberculosis (TB), specifically regarding liver impairment and treatment outcomes. The research is a descriptive, retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with pulmonary TB and VH, who were hospitalized for treatment from 2019 to 2021. A comparison was made between the parameters of the study group (91 patients with pulmonary TB and VH) and the control group (113 patients with pulmonary TB but no VH). The odds ratio (OR) was calculated to determine the probability of developing TB in the presence of risk factors, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) used to assess precision. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Office 2007 Excel. The study revealed a significant predominance of males in patients with pulmonary TB and VH, with the most common age range being between 30 and 50 years. Infiltrative pulmonary TB was the most frequent diagnosis, and microbiological confirmation of TB remained a challenge. The occurrence of complications was notably high in patients with pulmonary TB and VH. The study also observed a high rate of retreatment and cases of death among patients with TB and VH as treatment outcomes. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the severity, progression, and treatment response of TB patients with co-existing viral hepatitis.

Abstract: Liver transplantation (LT) is the most efective method of treatment of end-stage liver disease. Due to the low number of effective donors, the number of patients on the waiting list (WL) in the Republic of Moldova continues to increase. We aimed to analyze the particularities of the candidats from waiting list for liver transplantation according to demographic, etiological and clinical data. Materials and methods: In retrospective, observational, descriptive study have been included candidats from the waiting list for LT in period between February 2013 and April 2022. Variables analyzed were: age, gender, MELD-Na score, BMI, etiology of end-stage liver disease, mortality and transplantation rates from the waiting list. Results: 246 patients were included in the waiting list for LT during the baseline period. Only 61 (25%) of these were transplanted. The main indication for liver transplantation was advanced liver disease (ALD) of viral etiology in 80.7%. Males predominated (60.56%), with a mean age of 47.7 ± 9.6 years. The mean follow-up duration of patients was 816,49 days ± 880.405. The mean MELD-Na score at inclusion was 12.22 points. Conclusion: Advanced liver disease of viral etiology is the main indication for inclusion in the waiting list (WL) in our transplant center. These patients have a lower MELD-Na score at inclusion but a higher rate of decompensation and death on the waiting list.

Os resultados encontrados apontam que o processo de desenvolvimento da Educação Inclusiva no Ensino Superior ainda é vagaroso, o que denota desafios para uma verdadeira inclusão de pessoas com deficiência. Conclui-se como necessárias adequações estruturais, físicas e tecnológicas, bem como ações de caráter formativo de docentes por parte de tais Instituições de Ensino Superior, com vistas à execução da equidade nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem de estudantes com deficiência.
Exemplar Project 4: Automated workflows for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment
Authors: Gamage Thiranja Prasad Babarenda , Zhong Xinyue
Published: October 2024

Breast cancer represents a significant public health issue with approximately 2.3 million women worldwide being diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Early detection and treatment is key to improving outcomes. However, this is challenging due to the significant shape changes the breast undergoes during clinical interventions, which make localising tumours difficult. Our aim is to integrate state-of-the-art image processing techniques, personalised 3D biomechanical modelling, and population-based statistical analyses to help address clinical challenges in the interpretation of medical images to improve diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

We will describe our latest efforts towards developing automated workflows to predict breast shape under different loading conditions to pinpoint the locations of suspected tumours during breast cancer diagnosis and treatment procedures. This includes: application of machine learning algorithms to automatically segment the breast and its internal tissues from diagnostic medical images; generation of 3D personalised and anatomically accurate models of the torso and upper limbs and the skeleton from segmented image data using a combination of nonlinear geometric fitting and statistical shape analysis techniques; simulation of large deformation mechanics to predict shape changes that occur when the breast is repositioned; and the development of augmented reality platform to visualise simulated tumour positions directly on patients during clinical procedures. Studies using MR images from breast cancer patients are underway in collaboration with breast radiologists at Auckland City Hospital to assess the efficacy of these technologies in the clinical setting.

We will describe how the 12 Labours project is providing infrastructure, resources, and guidelines to supports these developments. This research has the potential to lead to technological advancements in the breast cancer imaging field, which could translate into better health outcomes for women, and improve breast care practices world-wide.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: As talassemias fazem parte de um grupo variado de doenças genéticas caracterizadas pela redução ou ausência de síntese de uma ou mais cadeias de globina formadoras da hemoglobina. Na talassemia beta, a alteração genética ocorre no cromossomo 11, e são descritas três apresentações clínicas (menor, intermediária e maior), que variam de acordo com a cadeia polipeptídica afetada, o grau de anemia e a gravidade dos sinais e sintomas(1). Este relato de caso objetivou descrever e compreender o quadro clínico e as diversas alterações morfológicas dos eritrócitos em gestante com talassemia beta intermediária. Método: Paciente do sexo feminino, J. S. S., 38 anos de idade, gestante, em seguimento conjunto com obstetrícia e pré-natal de alto risco. Aos 13 anos, após quadro compatível com anemia, procurou atendimento médico e recebeu o diagnóstico de talassemia beta intermediária, EFHb (HbA1 79,5%, HbA2 8,3% e HbF 12,2%). Em investigação familiar, foi identificado que pai e mãe eram portadores de talassemia menor. Desde então, segue com atendimento regular clínico, não dependente transfusional. Conclusão: Em acompanhamento gestacional, na 23ª semana, realizou hemograma: Hb 7,1 g/dl, RDW-CV 27,8% e eritroblastos 2,8%. A morfologia dos eritrócitos mostrou microcitose (++), poiquilocitose (+++), anisocitose (+++), policromasia (++), dacriócitos (+++), esquizócitos (++) e pontilhado basófilo. A ressonância magnética constatou hepatoesplenomegalia e sinais de leve sobrecarga férrica. Devido ao quadro apresentado, recebeu sua primeira transfusão sanguínea. Atualmente, mantém continuidade com pré-natal e faz uso de ômega 3 e ácido fólico. A relevância do diagnóstico de hemoglobinopatia no passado e os achados laboratoriais hematológicos atuais compatíveis com a talassemia beta intermediária durante período gestacional foram essenciais para que condutas, como o aporte transfusional, fossem tomadas pelo corpo clínico, assegurando que não ocorressem complicações adicionais para a saúde da mãe e do feto.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: A leucemia mieloide da síndrome de Down (ML-DS) é uma condição pré-leucêmica que ocorre pela mutação da GATA 1 em GATA 1s, promovendo a proliferação anormal da linhagem megacariocítica e, consequentemente, a leucemogênese. Fibrose hepática, hepatoesplenomegalia, anemia, plaquetopenia e infiltração da pele também estão associadas a essa condição. Este relato de caso teve como objetivo debater a respeito da importância do diagnóstico da ML-DS e os fatores correlacionados a essa condição(1,2). Método: T. A. C, 35 anos, gestante, realizou o exame de amniocentese no terceiro semestre de gestação, o qual apresentou cariótipo 47, XX +21c. Após 21 dias, foi realizado parto cesária por anemia fetal. A criança nasceu com choro fraco e hipotônico. Foram solicitados exames laboratoriais, imunofenotipagem e ecocardiograma para avaliação. Conclusão: O hemograma apresentou 40% de células anômalas de médio e grande porte, apresentando alta relação núcleo-citoplasma, macroplaquetas e plaquetopenia (96 mil/ mm3), bem como leve anemia (Hb:10 g/dl), macrocitose (+++), anisocitose (++), codócitos e esquizócitos (+) e leucocitose (27,44 mil/mm3). A imunofenotipagem identificou 27% de células precursoras mieloides anômalas com os seguintes marcadores positivos: CD13+, CD33+++, CD34+++, CD36++het, cyCD42b+, CD45++, CD71+++, CD117+++, HLA-DRpar(67%). Os resultados dos testes laboratoriais corroboram a Proliferação Mieloide Associada à Síndrome de Down. Crianças até 6 meses podem apresentar transtorno mieloproliferativo transitório, o qual desaparece espontaneamente. Porém, em casos associados à trissomia 21, há um risco diretamente aumentado para malignidade hematopoiética e trissomias adquiridas dos cromossomos 8, 11 e 19, dup(1p), del(6q), del(7p), dup(7q) e del(16q). Dessa forma, o desenvolvimento de condição pré-leucêmica e leucemia, propriamente dita, se dá por diversas mutações genéticas, sendo necessários mais estudos para aprofundamento do tema.
