Published: December 2024

Estudos relacionados às comunidades de peixes (ictiofauna) em rios são necessários para entender sua estrutura, pois fornecem informações e são um passo importante para o manejo ecológico de um local. Neste sentido, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho realizar o levantamento espaço-temporal da ictiofauna do rio Leão, bacia do rio Iguaçu, no Assentamento 8 de Junho, em Laranjeiras do Sul, Paraná. No período de agosto/2022 a abril/2023 foram realizadas 4 campanhas de coletas, uma em cada estação do ano, com amostragens em 4 diferentes pontos em uma extensão de ~5,28 km do rio Leão. Para as coletas foram utilizadas redes de espera, picaré, espinhel e tarrafa. Em cada campanha, foi realizada a identificação e a biometria dos peixes coletados, bem como a avaliação de dados abióticos da água. Ao todo foram obtidos 214 peixes, distribuídos em 4 ordens, 8 famílias, 11 gêneros e 14 espécies, todas nativas da bacia hidrográfica. Os resultados obtidos relativos aos índices Shannon-Wiener (H’) e Pielou (E) foram, respectivamente, H’= 0,8264 e E= 0,1540, demonstrando que o rio Leão apresenta alta diversidade de espécies, mas uma equidade (distribuição) baixa ao longo do curso que foi realizado o estudo. As espécies mais frequentes verificadas no levantamento foram Hypostomus derbyi, Psalidodon bifasciatus, Ancistrus sp. e Rhamdia branneri. A espécie com menor e maior comprimento foi o Phalloceros harpagos e R. branneri, respectivamente. Pôde-se verificar que o rio Leão apresenta espécies de interesse tanto para a aquicultura quanto para o aquarismo.

Published: December 2024

Introdução: O câncer de colo uterino afeta cerca de 600 mil mulheres no mundo e, no Brasil, é estimado cerca de 17.010 novos casos para o ano de 2023. A principal causa do câncer de colo de útero é a infecção persistente pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV). A citologia oncótica é uma das formas de se realizar seu rastreio. Já o exame histopatológico é considerado o padrão ouro para o diagnóstico das lesões cervicais. Uma boa correlação entre a citologia e a histopatologia permite adotar um manejo mais eficaz nas pacientes com lesão intraepitelial cervical, através da realização do método “ver e tratar”, diminuindo a possibilidade de atraso ou de não realização do tratamento. Objetivos: Analisar a correlação da citologia oncótica e da histopatologia nas lesões cervicais e avaliar se o método “ver e tratar” está sendo aplicado na abordagem inicial. Metodologia: Estudo retrospectivo, transversal, quantitativo, com análise de 500 prontuários de participantes, atendidas entre 2016 e 2018 no serviço de patologia cervical em um Hospital Municipal na região metropolitana do Município Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Foram avaliados a idade das pacientes, os resultados dos exames citológicos e histopatológicos e a correlação entre eles, o intervalo entre as etapas da assistência, o número de pacientes submetidas ao método “ver e tratar” e finalmente a taxa não retorno ao tratamento. Resultados: A média de idade das pacientes foi de 41,53±11,49 anos. O intervalo de tempo médio entre a coleta da citologia e a consulta no polo de patologia cervical foi de 126 dias; entre a coleta da citologia e do histopatológico foi de 185 dias; e, entre a consulta e coleta do histopatológico foi de 73 dias. A taxa de não retorno ao tratamento foi de 39,6% e foi maior (p=0,0035) entre pacientes mais jovens. Foi observada uma correlação negativa entre a classificação das lesões de colo uterino em exames histopatológicos e a idade das pacientes (r = -0,208, p = 0,0002). Houve correlação positiva entre os resultados dos exames citológicos e histopatológicos (r = 0,3106, p < 0,0001). Das 43 pacientes que apresentavam concordância entre a citologia de alto grau e achados colposcópicos maiores, o método “ver e tratar” foi utilizado em 19 (44%) ocasiões. Conclusões: Encontramos uma boa correlação entre os resultados dos exames citológicos e histopatológicos, principalmente nas lesões precursoras de alto grau e o percentual de mulheres submetidas ao método “ver e tratar” foi abaixo de 50%.

Two squares were opened (Permit No. A-3389*; map ref. NIG 17568/64982;
OIG 12568/14982) prior to the erection of a high-voltage pylon. One quarter
of a circular installation built of gray bricks (0.1 × 0.3 × 0.5 m) was
exposed in the squares. The installation was preserved three courses high
and contained modern refuse. It was enclosed within a rectangular structure
whose northeastern and southwestern corners were preserved. The walls of the
structure consisted of kurkar blocks and were preserved a single course
high. The structure and the installation seem to be modern based on the
finds they contained; the installation was probably used as a cesspit or a
well.

ROSE K2 Contact Lens Rehabilitation in Keratoconic Corneas
Authors: Aggarwal Sneha , Vanathi M , Gupta Vinay , Gupta Noopur , Tandon Radhika 
Published: December 2024

Purpose:
To evaluate the modifications required in ROSE K2 contact lens (CL) fitting in keratoconic corneas.

Methods:
A retrospective study with ROSE K2 CL wear in keratoconic corneas was done. Study data noted stage of keratoconus, Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA), Best Spectacle Corrected Visual Acuity (BSCVA) and the Best CL Corrected Visual Acuity (BCLCVA), type of ROSE K2 CL, base curve (BC), overall diameter (OD), edge fit and modifications, Asymmetric Corneal Technology (ACT) & Toric Periphery (TP) design, lens exchanges, and follow ups. Data was analyzed based on the fitting guidelines of ROSE K2 CL [BC Kmean of ≤5.99mm (group 1), 6.0mm to 6.99mm (group 2), >7.0 Group 3)] and in accordance to the keratoconus staging.

Results:
92 eyes of 64 patients of mean age 22.12 ± 5.57years [(range 11 to 36 years) (males 50, females 14)], which had undergone prior collagen crosslinking, were recruited into the study. Mean logMAR UCVA was 1.01 ± 0.41, mean logMAR BCVA with spectacles was 0.52 ± 0.31 and mean logMAR BCVA with ROSE K2 contact lenses was 0.12 ± 0.09. The difference between the recommended and prescribed CL BC was 0.33 ± 0.34 mm in group 1, 0.19 ± 0.17 mm in group 2 and 0.18 ± 0.16 in group 3. Edge modification was required in 90%, 58.7% and 45.5% in group 1, 2 & 3 respectively. Eyes of advanced keratoconus required mean change of 0.26 ± 0.24 mm in BC from recommended trial, with a mean difference from K-max of 1.02 ± 0.44 mm, and change in overall lens diameter by 0.21 ± 0.14 mm.

Conclusion:
Advanced corneal ectasias of keratoconus staging IV and with mean K base curve values of < 6 mm require more fitting modifications from recommended manufacturer's guidelines in order to achieve an optimal CL fitting. Our experience provides guidance on the fitting modifications in parameters required for achieving better customization of ROSE K2 CL in post C3R keratoconic corneas with advanced ectasias.
Change In Vessel and Perfusion Densities with Varying Signal Strengths on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
Authors: Verma Saurabh , Chawla Rohan , Pujari Amar 
Published: December 2024

Purpose:
To evaluate change in vessel and perfusion densities with varying signal strengths on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Materials and Method:
Quadrant wise vessel densities and perfusion densities in superficial capillary plexus were measured using 3×3 mm OCTA scans. Images were obtained in 26 normal eyes, out of which 10 were finally evaluated to study the variations in the aforementioned parameters with signal strengths (SS) 8, 9 and 10.

Result:
The total vessel and perfusion densities increased significantly from SS 8 to 10 and 9 to 10. The mean vessel densities along the superior, inferior, temporal and nasal quadrants showed a consistent increase in values with a progressive increase in the scan strengths. Similarly, the perfusion densities along all four quadrants also showed a progressive increase in the percentage values with increasing signal strengths.

Conclusion:
Even minor variation in signal strength of OCTA, even within the generally accepted scan strengths, affects the quantitative analysis. Therefore, future studies using OCTA must specify the signal strength of the scans for a head to head comparison or interval analysis.
