Authors: Cantieri Gabriela Nicolino , Bueno Camilo Antonio Monteiro , Ávila Daniel Martinez 
Published: December 2018

A sí­ndrome metabólica é caracterizada pela junção de várias doenças fisiopatológicas as quais, associadas, aumentam o risco de problemas cardiovasculares. Sobre os diversos fatores de risco que levam í sí­ndrome metabólica, o principal é a falta de atividades fí­sicas ou até mesmo o sedentarismo. Os tratamentos existentes na atualidade, o treinamento resistido, conhecido como musculação e/ou treinamento com pesos, pode contribuir na prevenção e diminuição dos fatores de risco desta sí­ndrome, colaborando principalmente para a manutenção da qualidade de vida dos indiví­duos. Nesta revisão bibliográfica, foi possí­vel identificar que a sí­ndrome metabólica é uma associação de três ou mais doenças fisiopatológicas como hiperglicemia, diabetes tipo 2, resistência í insulina, obesidade, dislipidemia e hipertensão arterial. Observou-se também que o treinamento resistido provoca benefí­cios para todos os tipos de indiví­duos, possibilitando a perda de gordura corporal, o controle da glicemia e pressão arterial, por conseguinte afetará positivamente na vida diárias destes indiví­duos.

Published: December 2018

Native arterio-venous fistula (AVF) are the preferred mode of repeated vascular access for the chronic renal failure patients surviving on hemodialysis because of their easy accessibility, good long term patency, low complication rate and cost-effectiveness. Creation of a fistula between the radial or brachial artery and a suitable adjacent vein is the most commonly practiced option. However the major upper arm veins of the CKD patients are often found thrombosed, cord like and not suitable for AV anastomosis. A 48 years old male patient of chronic kidney disease with a permanent catheter placed in the right subclavian vein was referred to create an AV fistula. On exploration none of the upper limb veins was found suitable for fistula formation. The proximal part of the left GSV was harvested from patient’s left upper thigh and was used to make a connection between left brachial artery at cubital fossa and the left axillary vein. To avoid over flooding of the limb vasculature, partial banding of the left axillary vein was done distal to this anastomosis. When all options in both upper limbs are exhausted, autologous great saphenous grafts may be a very useful tool for the surgeons in creating upper limb AV fistulas in difficult situations

The present study compared the clinical performance of nanoparticulated resin modified glass ionomer and conventional glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant on permanent molars. Fifty patient having bilateral occlusal grooves in pits and fissures of the occlusal surface were included for this study where 50 teeth were treated with nanopaticulated resin modified and the remaining 50 teeth were subjected to conventional glass ionomer sealants. The color match, retention and marginal adaptation were assessed at 3, 6 and 12 months and statistical analysis was performed by Chi-square test to assess the difference between the two sealants; a values of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The results showed that although there were no significant differences between two sealants at baseline and 3 months observation period but nanoparticulated resin modified glass ionomer sealants showed better clinical performance than that of conventional glass ionomer sealants at 12 months and the differences between two sealants were statistically significant (p<0.05). It can be concluded that naqnoparticulated resin modified glass ionomer sealant exhibited better color stability, more retention, and better marginal adaptation than those of conventional glass ionomer sealants at 12 months observation period.

Solar Irradiance Variability, Influenced by r Modes
Authors: Wolff Charles L. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
A spectrum of the four-decade solar irradiance record has a prominent cluster of power for periodicities near 1 yr. Correlating irradiance with a bandpass filter showed that periodicity values were not constant, but varied sinusoidally with each cycle lasting 14 ± 1 yr. The large modulation amplitude makes solar frequencies ≥1 yr−1 hard to detect at the solar surface. After removing the modulation, a Lomb–Scargle spectrum exposed two true periodicities: 1.006 and 0.920 yr. They are interpreted as the synodic rotation periods of r modes of lowest angular degree (ℓ = 1). The first propagates in the stable interior and the second in the convective envelope perturbed by its several flow fields. The rotational beat period of the two modes is about 10.9 yr. This is close to the average length of a solar cycle and possibly controls this average. The 1.006 yr periodicity dominates most of the filtered irradiance record but an abrupt change to about 0.8 yr occurs in mid-2010. Also found was evidence for higher-degree r modes (ℓ = 2 to 8) and a curious sawtooth modulation with a recurrence period of 2.6 yr.
SDSS-IV MaNGA: The Roles of AGNs and Dynamical Processes in Star Formation Quenching in Nearby Disk Galaxies

Published: December 2018

Abstract
We study how star formation (SF) is quenched in low-redshift disk galaxies with integral-field spectroscopy. We select 131 face-on spiral galaxies with stellar mass greater than 3 × 1010
M
⊙, and with spatially resolved spectrum from MaNGA DR13. We subdivide the sample into four groups based on the offset of their global specific star formation rate (SFR) from the star-forming main sequence and stack the radial profiles of stellar mass and SFR. By comparing the stacked profiles of quiescent and star-forming disk galaxies, we find that the decrease of the global SFR is caused by the suppression of SF at all radii, but with a more significant drop from the center to the outer regions following an inside-out pattern. As the global specific SFR decreases, the central stellar mass, the fraction of disk galaxies hosting stellar bars, and active galactic nuclei (AGNs; including both LINERs and Seyferts) all increase, indicating dynamical processes and AGN feedback are possible contributors to the inside-out quenching of SF in the local universe. However, if we include only Seyferts, or AGNs with EW(Hα) > 3 Å, the increasing trend of AGN fraction with decreasing global sSFR disappears. Therefore, if AGN feedback is contributing to quenching, we suspect that it operates in the low-luminosity AGN mode, as indicated by the increasing large bulge mass of the more passive disk galaxies.
Confocal Microscopy Comparison of IntraLase Femtosecond Laser and Moria M2 Microkeratome in LASIK
Authors: Javaloy Jaime , Vidal María T , Abdelrahman Ayman M , Artola Alberto , Alió Jorge L 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To analyze the quality of LASIK flaps created using a femtosecond laser or a mechanical microkeratome.
METHODS: A prospective study of consecutive bilateral LASIK flaps (100 patients) created with a 15 kHz femtosecond laser (IntraLase) or with a mechanical microkeratome (Moria M2) was performed. Outcome measures included visual and refractive outcomes, flap dimensions, and intraoperative complications. The first consecutive ten patients (20 eyes) were examined using confocal microscopy 1 and 3 months following surgery.
RESULTS: No significant differences were noted in the visual outcomes between groups (t test, P>.05 for all comparisons). Analysis of superficial measurements revealed more round flaps and greater predictability in surface dimensions for the femtosecond laser group (ttest, P=. 016). Mean deviation of flap thickness from target was the same for both instruments, 10 µm, with greater variability for the mechanical microkeratome. The incidence of diffuse lamellar keratitis was significantly greater in the femtosecond laser group (17%) than in the mechanical group (0%) (chi-square test, P<.001). Confocal microscopy revealed a higher wound healing opacity index in the femtosecond laser group.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the clinical results are similar, the femtosecond laser produces LASIK flaps with more accurate dimensions compared to the mechanical microkeratome. [J Refract Surg. 2007;23:178-187.]

Authors: Ertan Aylin , Bahadir Mehmet 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: A 26-year-old man with superior pellucid marginal corneal degeneration associated with poor visual acuity due to irregular astigmatism was treated with single-segment intracorneal ring insertion.
METHODS: Preoperatively the patient's uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 0.05, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 0.15, and manifest refraction was -4.50 × 85 in the left eye. The flattest meridian (K1) measured was 38.50x90 and the steepest meridian (K2) was 51.10×30.
RESULTS: Three months postoperatively, UCVA was 0.15, BSCVA was 0.4, and manifest refraction was -2.50 × 90.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of single Intacs with femtosecond laser to treat superior pellucid marginal corneal degeneration improved visual acuity. [J Refract Surg. 2007;23:205-208.]
Central Flap Necrosis After LASIK With Microkeratome and Femtosecond Laser Created Flaps
Authors: Hainline Bryan C , Price Marianne O , Choi David M , Price Francis W 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report nine cases of severe central flap inflammation and necrosis after LASIK.
METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted on 17,100 LASIK cases performed at two laser centers in Indiana from January 1995 through May 2005. All patients with central lamellar flap necrosis were identified.
RESULTS: Severe central flap inflammation and necrosis occurred in nine eyes of eight patients. Six patients underwent flap creation with a mechanical microkeratome and two with a femtosecond laser. Of eight eyes with >2-month follow-up, one lost at least two lines of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity and two experienced a hyperopic shift in spherical equivalent refraction. Typically, inflammation was minimal the day after surgery, peaked 5 to 10 days later, and subsided by 60 days. Six of nine cases were treated by lifting the flap and irrigating the stromal bed. In each of these cases, few or no inflammatory cells were observed in the stromal bed, the posterior flap surface was intact, and the central portion of the anterior flap had a jelly-like consistency.
CONCLUSIONS: Central lamellar flap necrosis appears to differ from diffuse lamellar keratitis because the location of stromal inflammation is not in the flap interface but rather in the flap anterior stroma. Treatment with corticosteroids seemed to have little effect on outcomes. This is thought to be the first documentation of central lamellar flap necrosis following the use of a femtosecond laser.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To investigate the role of heredity in determining refractive variables, anterior corneal curvature, and anterior corneal aberrations.
METHODS: Thirty-three monozygotic and 10 dizygotic twin pairs were enrolled in this study. Corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, and corneal topography were obtained from computerized videokeratoscope. The CTView program was used to compute anterior corneal aberrations from corneal height data of the videokeratoscope. Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the symmetry of the refractive error, corneal curvature, corneal astigmatism, and anterior corneal aberrations between right and left eyes of each twin pair. Heritability [h2) of these parameters was also calculated.
RESULTS: Positive correlations were noted between right and left eyes for spherical power, total astigmatism, mean corneal curvature, and corneal astigmatism. In monozygotic twins, vertical coma, secondary vertical coma, spherical aberration, and secondary spherical aberration were moderately correlated. In dizygotic twins, vertical coma, secondary horizontal coma, and spherical aberration were moderately correlated. In unrelated controls, secondary vertical coma, secondary horizontal coma, and secondary spherical aberration were moderately correlated. Root-mean-square (RMS) of higher order aberrations (3rd to 6th orders), RMS of spherical aberration, and RMS of coma were moderately correlated between right and left eyes in all three groups. Heritability of spherical aberration, RMS of spherical aberration, and corneal astigmatism (ft2=0.56, 0.44, and 0.46) were greater than those of refractive power, corneal curvature, and other higher order aberrations.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that corneal astigmatism and spherical aberration possess a greater genetic predisposition than those of other refractive errors and higher order aberrations. [J Refract Surg. 2007;23:257-265.]
