Detección de la presencia del ácaro (Aculops lycopersici) causante del bronceamiento del tomate (Lycoprsicon esculentum) en El Salvador, América Central
Authors: Serrano Cervantes Leopoldo 
Published: October 2018

In October 1989, microscopic specimens of (acaros) with symptoms of browning and plant mortality in young and older tomato plants from various locations in El Salvador were sent tó the entomologist Ing. Ronald Ochoa from Costa Rica. lng. Ronald Ochoa is associated with the Diagnostics Network of the Centro Agronomico Tropical de Investigation y Enseñanza (CATlE) based in Turrialba, Costa Rica. Microscopic examination of this material confirmed the taxonomic identification as Aculops lycopersici (Acariformes: Eriophyidae), suspected since May 1988 with the first observation and collection of samples. Abrief review of literature and a phone conversation with the specialist who identified the material, permits reporting for the first time of the presence of this species in El Salvador. This finding is a warning about this pest which could be apotential problem in the tropics of Central America. This paper discusses personal observations of some of the characteristics, habits and appearances of this species, small experiments, and it includes a review of literature pertinent to this subject

Published: October 2018

Several trials were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of new insecticides in controlling the white fly Bemisia tabaci Genn, which is the vector of the Bean Golden Mosaic Virus (BGMV), at the Zapotitlan Valley and at the San Andres Experimental Station at 460 masl, during the dry season, from December 22, 1989 to May, 1990. A complete randomized block experimental design with 4 and 5 replications was used. Four trials were planted with the Rojo de Seda, Sangre de Toro and CENIA-Cuscatleco bean varieties. In the first and second trials, the chemicals bifentrin 100 EC (60 g.ai./ha) and fenpropatrin 375 EC ( 203 g.ai/ha) were efficient in controlling the whitefly, reducing the incidence of BGMV. If B. tabaci Genn is not controlled efficiently and timely, the BGMV incidence reaches 100% between 36 and 32 days after planting (DAP) on the susceptible varieties Rojo de Seda y Sangre de Toro. Seed and soil treatments combined with foliage spraying were also used in the third and fourth trials. The treatments of carbosulpan + bifentrin (1519.9 kg/ha) and acephate + bifentrin (1428 kg/ha) produced the highest yields with the resistent variety CENIA- Cuscatleco. Acephate + fenpropatrin (756.6 kg/ha), acephate + bifentrin (725.1 kg/ha) and carbofuran + fenpropatrin (636.3 g/ha) produced the highest yields with the susceptible variety Rojo de Seda. Of the tested products, fenpropatrin 375 EC showed the lowest populations of eggs and nymphs of B. tabaci Genn. There was a significant correlation between production and the time when the disease symptoms appeared. The largest Net Benefit was obtained with acephate 95% + bifentrin 100 EC treatment, followed by carbofuran 5% + bifentrin 100 EC.

Authors: Ortiz José Richard , Comalat Rodes Pedro 
Published: October 2018

Twenty eight inter-crosses from a diallel set of 8 Dominican inbred lines of maize were evaluated in 1990. The specific objectives were to determine general(gca) and specific (SCA) combining ability and to predict the best two and three-way hybrids. The inheritance of yield was determined by diaIlel analysis. General and specific (sca) combining ability and specific mean squares were statistically significant in yield, being the additive genetic variation much larger than the non additive variation. The parental T66 and NO3 showed the highest gca values and DK12xT66 (9.02 t/ha),NO2xNO3 (8.57t/ha) and DK12xT66 (8.36 t/ha) the best sca values. The results partially agree with previous studies. The best three and two way hybrids predictions were (NO3xT66)x NO3 and(NO2xT66) (NO3xDK14) with grain yield of 8.80 and 8.30 t/ha.

The group of foreign language instructors and Indonesian language instructors for foreigners initially had problems in the fields of HR, legality, marketing and management. The implementation of the community partnership program (PKM) funded by the Ministry of Research and Technology's Research and Development Program aims to solve partner problems through entrepreneurship building. The method applied is in the form of knowledge transfer in the form of counseling, training, simulation and diffusion of science and technology about teaching methods, mentoring financial management and marketing and managing agency permits. The teaching method quality improvement program is carried out through workshops and workshops with the theme of teaching Indonesian and multimedia-based foreign languages. The resulting output is in the form of certificates and the quality of teaching increases. The problem of business management and enlargement has been solved through mentoring by management experts so that partners know the tips of building a small business. To build a language teaching business, the team helped partners manage the Business Course and Training (LKP) business license in a notary and operational permits in the Badung District Education Office. From the marketing aspect, the team has helped partner market course service products through the creation of signboards, business cards and websites with the domain www.gepbali.com . The implementation of all these activities has been running 70% while the draft article and seminar papers are still in draft form. This activity has had a positive impact on providing employment for language teachers and improving language skills for the community.
Successful device retrieval using simple balloon method during cardiac procedures
Authors: Patil Shivanand , Setty Natraj , Ramalingam Rangaraj , Mambally Jayasheelan , Manjunath Cholenahally Nanjappa 
Published: October 2018

Objectives
Although rare, incidents of broken/dislodged fragment of various angioplasty hardwares, including catheters, guidewires, angioplasty balloons, and stents, are being increasingly reported in recent years. Since these broken fragments may cause life-threatening consequences for a patient, it is vital for an interventional cardiologist to be acquainted with different retrieval techniques. Here, we are reporting our observations of several incidents of device dislodgement/fracture during cardiac interventions and their retrieval using simple balloon method.

Methods
We present a study of eight patients in whom we attempted to retrieve dislodged/fractured cath-lab hardwares during cardiac interventions, using simple balloon method. These cases include two cases of balloon, three cases of stent, and three cases of guidewire dislodgement/fracture.

Results
Fractured/dislodged cath-lab hardwares were successfully retrieved using a simple balloon method in six out of eight cases (75%), without any need of other retrieval hardwares. We observed no major complications in any patient.

Conclusions
The balloon-assisted retrieval method is a simple, safe, and cost-effective way to avoid complications of endothelial injury, myocardial infarction, emergency coronary artery bypass graft, and sudden cardiac death. This study, particularly the context of retrieval technique used in each case, will offer valuable information to fellow interventional cardiologists.

M.; SEASONAL VARIATION IN EVAPOTRANSPIRATION OF YOUNG ‘TAHITI’ACID LIME TREES 2 ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate seasonal variations in hourly and daily evapotranspiration (ETc) of acid lime ‘Tahiti’ trees under field conditions, defining values of crop coefficients. The study was carried out in Piracicaba, Brazil, during the winter of 2003 and the summer of 2004. Aweighing lysimeter of 2.7 mdiameter and 0.8 mdepth was planted with a two-year-old tree that was located at the center of an experimental area with 322 trees. The lysimeter tree was irrigated, like others in the plot, by four pressure compensated emitters. The average ETc was 1.50 mmday-1 in the summer and dropped to 0.66 mm day-1 in winter months. The average seasonal crop coefficient (Kc) was 0.36 and 0.22 for summer and winter, respectively. The maximum Etc time was at noon in the summer and at 2 pm in the winter. Moreover, night soil evaporation represented 17.4% and 13.4% of daily ETc in winter and summer. The soil evaporation curve (Ke) in both seasons showed similar results.

Robin Sequence: Clearing Nosologic Confusion
Authors: Breugem C.C. , Courtemanche D.J. 
Published: October 2018

Objective To gather evidence surrounding the confusion in the classification of Robin sequence and inform those who have the power to make the changes in defining this symptom complex. Method A questionnaire was sent to all participating cleft palate teams (N = 204) of the American Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Association. The questionnaire identified the precise, different characteristics for diagnosing Robin sequence and evaluated whether the difference between a retrognathia and micrognathia influenced the diagnosis process. We subsequently also investigated whether the cleft type (i.e., U-shaped versus V-shaped) had any influence in the decision-making process. A PubMed literature review of the 50 most recent manuscripts about Robin sequence was evaluated also. Results Seventy-three questionnaires were received. This 35% response rate revealed 14 different definitions of Robin sequence. A PubMed literature review of 50 consecutive manuscripts revealed 15 different descriptions. Conclusion This study confirms that nosologic confusion is widespread with regard to defining Robin sequence. This has implications for evaluating Robin sequence, giving advice about the prognosis and genetic counseling, and refining treatment options.

Objective To evaluate the oral features in individuals with oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD 1), previously diagnosed by the Genetic Sector of the Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of São Paulo (HRAC-USP). Design Twelve patients with OFD 1 were examined clinically and radio-graphically; their medical files were also evaluated. Results Associated oral malformations were observed in all patients (100%). The most frequent findings were tongue hamartomas, multiple buccal frena, asymmetric lips, asymmetric tongue, and bilateral maxillary gingival swelling. Interestingly, atrophy of the maxillary midline frenum was also observed in all the individuals examined. Conclusions Several extra and intraoral alterations were observed in patients with OFD 1. The authors suggest the inclusion of atrophy of the maxillary midline frenum as a commonly found characteristic of OFD 1.

Authors: Murthy Jyotsna , Sendhilnathan Sunitha , Hussain Syed Altaf 
Published: October 2018

Objective Early palate repair is recommended to minimize the development of disordered speech. We studied the speech outcome of late palate repair in 131 patients. The success of late palate repair is questioned because of the persistence of learned, compensatory misarticulations that are difficult to correct in spite of the establishment of correct palatal anatomy and a competent velopharyngeal mechanism. The objective of this study is to highlight the speech results following late primary repair of the palate. Settings and Design Retrospective analysis of speech outcomes in 131 patients with cleft lip and palate who underwent primary palate repair after the age of 10 years between November 2000 and December 2004. None of the patients had received supervised institution-based speech therapy. However, all patients were counseled and oriented and demonstrated the correct place and manner of articulation for the phonemes misarticulated by them. Preoperative and 6- to 12-month postoperative speech samples were assessed within the parameters of articulation, hypernasality, nasal air emission, and speech intelligibility. Outcome The analysis indicated improvement in all speech parameters leading to an overall improvement in postoperative intelligibility for most patients. Conclusion Although definite improvement occurs in all parameters of speech following late primary palate repair, residual speech problems persist in most patients, requiring further evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Living with Moebius Syndrome: Adjustment, Social Competence, and Satisfaction with Life
Authors: Bogart Kathleen Rives , Matsumoto David 
Published: October 2018

Context Moebius syndrome is a rare congenital condition that results in bilateral facial paralysis. Several studies have reported social interaction and adjustment problems in people with Moebius syndrome and other facial movement disorders, presumably resulting from lack of facial expression. Objective To determine whether adults with Moebius syndrome experience increased anxiety and depression and/or decreased social competence and satisfaction with life compared with people without facial movement disorders. Design Internet-based quasi-experimental study with comparison group. Participants Thirty-seven adults with Moebius syndrome recruited through the United States–based Moebius Syndrome Foundation newsletter and Web site and 37 age- and gender-matched control participants recruited through a university participant database. Measures Anxiety and depression, social competence, satisfaction with life, ability to express emotion facially, and questions about Moebius syndrome symptoms. Results People with Moebius syndrome reported significantly lower social competence than the matched control group and normative data but did not differ significantly from the control group or norms in anxiety, depression, or satisfaction with life. In people with Moebius syndrome, degree of facial expression impairment was not significantly related to the adjustment variables. Conclusions Many people with Moebius syndrome are better adjusted than previous research suggests, despite their difficulties with social interaction. To enhance interaction, people with Moebius syndrome could compensate for the lack of facial expression with alternative expressive channels.

Objective To determine the relationship between trisomies 13,18, and 21 and craniofacial malformations detected by prenatal sonography. Design During a 29-year period (1976 through 2004), prenatal sonographic findings of 69 fetuses with trisomy 13; 171 fetuses with trisomy 18; 302 fetuses with trisomy 21; and 17 fetuses with other trisomies were evaluated retrospectively, after fetal karyotype identification. Sonographic findings were compared with autopsy results in 209 patients (trisomy 13, n = 39; trisomy 18, n = 64; and trisomy 21, n = 106). Results For trisomy 13, cleft deformities were detected prenatally in 65.2%, and of the 39 cases with pathological information, 76.9% were found to have a cleft deformity. Ocular and orbital abnormalities were found in 28%. Malformations of the jaws and abnormal profiles were more frequently diagnosed postnatally than prenatally. For trisomy 18, abnormal profiles (41.5%) and ear abnormalities (5.3%) were the most noticeable ultrasound markers, next to abnormalities of the neurocranium (36.8%) and cranial bone configuration (21.6%). Dysmorphisms of the eye, ear, or nose were detected more frequently in autopsy cases. For trisomy 21, ultrasound showed an aberrant shape of the skull in 14.2% of fetuses. In general, the ocular-orbital and nasal abnormalities in fetuses with trisomy 18 or 21 were more evident in pathological examination than in prenatal ultrasound imaging. Conclusions Facial anomalies are common in the major trisomies, and their prenatal sonographic identification should be improved. The above-mentioned facial anomalies provide sufficient reason to consider performing cytogenic evaluation.
Long-Term Follow-Up after Division of a Pharyngeal Flap for Severe Nasal Obstruction

Published: October 2018

Between 1965 and 1986, nine patients were noticed to have significant nasal airway obstruction following surgery for velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI). All had a superiorly based pharyngeal flap. Division of the flap was recommended to correct the posterior obstruction. A complete section of the flap was done in seven cases and lateral port enlargement was done in the remaining two. The interval between flap elevation and transection ranged from 5 months to 5 years. Three patients required more than one operation to fully correct the obstruction. All the patients were evaluated 2 to 14 years later to assess nasal breathing and speech and to document velopharyngeal function by nasoendoscopy and videofluoroscopy. One patient presented major symptoms of nasal obstruction at follow-up, while others reported snoring and occasional mouth breathing, although their nasal respiration appeared subjectively adequate. Four patients had normal speech, three were mildly hyponasal, one was moderately hyponasal, and the other was severely hyponasal. Intelligibility was good in all cases but one, although three patients had some articulation errors: two with persistent errors related to early VPI and one from dental malocclusion and tongue protrusion. Videofluoroscopy and nasoendoscopy showed that despite complete transection at the base of the flap in eight cases, five still had evidence of residual tethering. In one patient, the obstruction was almost complete and repeat division of the flap was recommended. Seven patients showed increased thickness of the soft palate in the midline where the flap had been anchored. Velopharyngeal closure was adequate in five cases, marginal in three, and obstructed in one. The review of our cases showed that the velopharyngeal opening in these patients is not large and incompetent, but rather is contracted and the flap often reattaches posteriorly after division. We recommend a closure of all raw surfaces to be done when the flap is sectioned, adding Z-plasties when needed to prevent further V-P obstruction. Even in the presence of recurrent obstruction, the resection of the extra tissue contributed by the flap on the soft palate is not felt to be indicated.
Craniofacial Development in Myotonic Dystrophy
Authors: Staley Robert N. , Bishara Samir E. , Hanson James W. , Nowak Arthur J. 
Published: October 2018

Anthropometric, cephalometric, and dental data from 23 subjects (12 males and 11 females) afflicted with myotonic dystrophy were compared to similar data from normal subjects who participated in the Iowa Facial Growth Study. A two by two analysis of variance showed that myotonic subjects differed from normal subjects in headlength, head breadth, cephalic index, bizygomatic face width, nosebreadth, maxillary arch widths, palatal depth, anterior and posterior face heights, cranial base lengths, cranial base angles, and other cephalometric measures. Sex differences were observed for many of the variables. It is hoped that these findings will assist clinicians who treat patients having this disorder.
Isolated Cleft Palate in Danish Multiple Births, 1970-1990
Authors: Christensen Kaare , Andersen Poul Fogh 
Published: October 2018

The etiology of most cases of Isolated cleft palate (CP) is unknown. The relative importance of genes and environment can be studied using the classical twin method but only few and potentially highly selected CP twin data are available. The present CP twin study was based on four Danish nationwide ascertainment sources of CP multiple births in the period 1970–1990. The ascertainment sources covered the time period from 15 completed weeks of pregnancy to adolescence for the older cohorts. A total of 18 CP cases in multiple births were identified; two monozygotic twin pairs of which one was concordant and eight were dizygotic, discordant twin pairs. Three cases were from two triplet sets, and four discordant twin pairs were of unknown zygosity. The twin concordance rates suggest that genetic factors play a major role in the etiology of CP, but environmental and/or stochastic factors are probably acting as well.
