Published: January 2018

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Ergogenic effect in physically active subjects has been reported after acute salbutamol (SAL) intake. β2-Agonists have potential stimulant effects within the central nervous system that could be involved in this ergogenic effect. We hypothesized that acute SAL intake would induce changes in cerebral responses during exercise, with significant improvement in cerebral oxygenation and voluntary activation (VA) contributing to an increase in muscle performance.

Methods
Fourteen trained male subjects (25 ± 5 yr) performed repeated isometric knee extensions until task failure (TF) after 4 mg (oral) SAL, 800 μg (inhaled) SAL, or placebo intake. VA, corticospinal excitability, and inhibition assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation and changes in hemoglobin concentrations assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy were measured before and during the fatiguing task.

Results
SAL had no significant effect both at rest and during exercise on prefrontal cortex oxygenation (e.g., changes in oxyhemoglobin concentration at TF: 11.4 ± 11.1 (4 mg SAL) vs 10.4 ± 10.6 (800 μg SAL) vs 10.8 ± 8.1 μmol (placebo); P = 0.314) and neuromuscular function (e.g., VA measured by TMS at TF: 90.2% ± 6.6% vs 92.6% ± 5.0% vs 90.1% ± 7.0%; P = 0.760). SAL had no effect on the number of contractions until TF (95 ± 51 vs 100 ± 52 vs 93 ± 47; P = 0.629).

Conclusions
These results indicate that acute SAL intake had no effect on central and peripheral mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue and did not improve quadriceps endurance.

Published: January 2018

Objective:
To enable fast and customizable automated collection of radiotherapy (RT) data from tomotherapy storage.

Methods:
Human-readable data maps (TagMaps) were created to generate DICOM-RT (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard for Radiation Therapy) data from tomotherapy archives, and provided access to “hidden” information comprising delivery sinograms, positional corrections and adaptive-RT doses.

Results:
797 data sets totalling 25,000 scans were batch-exported in 31.5 h. All archived information was restored, including the data not available via commercial software. The exported data were DICOM-compliant and compatible with major commercial tools including RayStation, Pinnacle and ProSoma. The export ran without operator interventions.

Conclusion:
The TagMap method for DICOM-RT data modelling produced software that was many times faster than the vendor’s solution, required minimal operator input and delivered high volumes of vendor-identical DICOM data. The approach is applicable to many clinical and research data processing scenarios and can be adapted to recover DICOM-RT data from other proprietary storage types such as Elekta, Pinnacle or ProSoma.

Advances in knowledge:
A novel method to translate data from proprietary storage to DICOM-RT is presented. It provides access to the data hidden in electronic archives, offers a working solution to the issues of data migration and vendor lock-in and paves the way for large-scale imaging and radiomics studies.

Se a gestão dos hospitais públicos não melhorar, o sistema de saúde brasileiro vai sucumbir. Quem faz esse diagnóstico é o engenheiro Antonio José Rodrigues Pereira, superintendente do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMUSP). Desde 2004 na função, ele acredita em uma quebra de paradigmas no maior complexo hospitalar da América Latina, diante do esforço seu e de seus colegas em integrar administração e medicina, por meio de planejamento, eventos focados na qualidade do serviço prestado, um novo sistema de informações e parcerias com empresas privadas. Com relação à saúde no Brasil, Antonio acredita que o principal problema é a falta de tecnologia, informação e conhecimento, o que permitiria decisões mais estratégicas, principalmente no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Segundo ele, saber as necessidades de cada hospital – desde o número de luvas utilizadas até a demanda por leitos – é fundamental para que o SUS seja de fato integrado e os pacientes possam ser distribuídos adequadamente. Além disso, nesta entrevista exclusiva à GV executivo, Antonio fala sobre sua trajetória profissional; ressalta a importância de o sistema público trabalhar em sincronia com o privado, interagindo e realizando parcerias com empresas; e fala sobre as perspectivas da saúde no Brasil para os próximos anos.
Pleural effusions in the dog. Etiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment

Accumulation of fluid (pleural effusion) in the pleural space of dogs is a relatively common clinical entity in the everyday practice. These can result from variable causes, such as right-sided heart failure, pericardial disease, hypoalbouminemia, neoplasia, heartworm disease, diaphragmatic hernia, bleeding disorders, traumatic or idiopathic causes. Diagnosis is based on history, clinical findings, laboratory tests, thoracocentesis, thoracic radiography and/or ultrasonography. Therapeutic approach depends on the etiology and the clinical condition of the affected dog. In dogs presented with severe respiratory distress, and after the confirmation of pleural effusion with thoracic radiography, thoracocentesis is performed to stabilize the animal's condition. If indicated, surgical management is attempted. Conservative therapy includes intravenous fluid and electrolyte replacement, antibiotics administration and chest tube placement in refractory cases. Moreover, pleurodesis may be indicated in chronic relapsing cases.

Contraception and sexual health in women over 40
Authors: Kipps Sarah 
Published: January 2018

Effective contraception is needed until women reach the menopause. Contraceptive choices can be problematic in women over 40 years old as the risk of comorbidities increases. Sarah Kipps discusses. A woman's fertility declines as they get older. Despite this, contraception is advised until women become postmenopausal. Contraception can be problematic in women over the age of 40 years as their risk of other morbidities increases. Contraception can be stopped in women over 50 years old if their periods have stopped for 1 year and under 50 years old if their periods have stopped for 2 years. In women using contraception that affects periods, health professionals can assess menopausal symptoms. Follicle-stimulating hormone may be a useful measure in some cases. Women can be advised that contraception can be stopped at the age of 55 years. Women over the age of 40 years are still at risk of sexually transmitted infections and the incidence in this age group is increasing. Perimenopausal women can also suffer from vulvo-vaginal atrophy and sexual dysfunction. Health professionals should be prepared to discuss this at consultation.

Diisopropylamine as a single catalyst in the synthesis of aryl disulfides
Authors: Kuciński Krzysztof , Hreczycho Grzegorz 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe search for less time-consuming and inexpensive methods for the synthesis of disulfides continues to be a hot subject of research. Herein, we report that diisopropylamine (iPr2NH) can act as a very effective catalyst for this process. The oxidative coupling of aryl thiols was carried out in the presence of catalytic amount ofiPr2NH in air (room temperature) in acetonitrile, without metal catalyst, additives, or external activators. This procedure opens a low-cost, green, and industrially applicable synthetic pathway to obtain aryl disulfides.
L2-error analysis of an isoparametric unfitted finite element method for elliptic interface problems
Authors: Lehrenfeld Christoph , Reusken Arnold 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIn the context of unfitted finite element discretizations the realization of high order methods is challenging due to the fact that the geometry approximation has to be sufficiently accurate. Recently a new unfitted finite element method was introduced which achieves a high order approximation of the geometry for domains which are implicitly described by smooth level set functions. This method is based on a parametric mapping which transforms a piecewise planar interface (or surface) reconstruction to a high order approximation. In the paper [C. Lehrenfeld and A. Reusken,IMA J. Numer. Anal.38(2018), No. 3, 1351–1387] ana priorierror analysis of the method applied to an interface problem is presented. The analysis reveals optimal order discretization error bounds in theH1-norm. In this paper we extend this analysis and derive optimalL2-error bounds.
The Felt Body and Embodied Communication
Authors: Schmitz Hermann 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
In the 4th and 5th centuries B.C. the most significant paradigm change in Western intellectual culture occurred, later affecting Christianity and subsequently science. In the interest of personal empowerment over spontaneous stirrings, a private inner sphere, a so-called soul (psyche) was ascribed to every conscious subject which was taken to contain their whole experience, like a house, conceived of as an inner world in which reason was to be the master of spontaneous impulses; the empirical external world between these inner spheres was cleansed of all gripping forces and, for this purpose, ground down to a few elegantly selected types of features and their carriers (atoms, substances): the remainder of this grindingdown was deposited in the souls or overlooked to nonetheless be found in the souls in changed form. Man was dissected into body and soul. In the transposition into the soul’s huge amounts of life experience were forgotten. Among them can be counted the felt body which disappeared between body and soul as in a crevasse, even though it is the closest thing to human experience.
Felt-Bodily Resonances
Authors: Griffero Tonino 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Moving from a (new) phenomenological theory of the lived body (Leib), the text outlines its constitutive (pre-reflective) role in human experience but especially in aesthetic perception. Against every reductionist and introjectionist objectification of the lived experience, every explanatory hypothesis of associationist and projectivist type, a pathic aesthetics ‒ that emphasizes the affective involvement that the perceiver feels unable to critically react to or mitigate the intrusiveness of ‒ is an adequate investigation of the felt body as sounding board of outside atmospheres and Stimmungen. By means of its specific dynamics and lived “isles”, in fact the felt body feels what happens in the surrounding area without drawing on the five senses and the perceptual body schema. Felt-bodily isles turn out exactly to be both a tool for sensing the affective radiation provoked by atmospheres and quasi-things, and “places” that, communicating with each other and with our consciousness, are themselves quasi-things.
Living in the Moment
Authors: Slaby Jan 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
It was not only in his infamous speeches as NSDAP-approved Führer- Rektor of Freiburg University that Heidegger advocated what can be seen as an ‘activist’ understanding of human existence. To exist, according to this approach, means to be called upon to take charge of one’s life - actively, responsibly, authentically - whether mandated by Volk and Führer or not. Heideggerian resoluteness amounts to being active in a deep sense, a view articulated during the Rektoratszeit in the form of an outright equation of dasein and work. I will revisit Heidegger’s phenomenology of boredom in Basic Concepts of Metaphysics, and contrast it with passages from Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet. Pessoa presents a radical counterpoint to Heidegger, utterly at odds with his intellectual and political persona. Insofar as the early Heidegger still represents the sinister forces ruling on the death star of western metaphysics, Pessoa carries the light that can set us on a path toward very different horizons for thinking being.
Phenomenology of Embodied Intersubjectivity
Authors: Wenzel Christian Helmut 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Hermann Schmitz has developed a “New Phenomenology.” It emphasizes fundamental conceptions that undercut traditional subject-object distinctions. In the Chinese classic The Zhuangzi we find stories that describe involvements and dialogue that can be seen as doing something similar. I will bring out some of these parallels. In particular I will focus on freedom and mutual understanding.
Lower Extremity Strength and Recovery Time in Youth Baseball Pitchers: A Pilot Study

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Livingston, JL and Tavoukjian, NM. Lower extremity strength and recovery time in youth baseball pitchers: a pilot study. J Strength Cond Res 34(7): 1990–1998, 2020—The purpose of this study was to investigate the Little League pitching regulations by measuring the change in lower extremity force production after a pitching performance and the subsequent days of rest required for youth baseball pitchers to recover. Bilateral manual muscle testing of the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, gluteus medius, triceps surae, and quadriceps was conducted using a handheld dynamometer. Fifteen healthy, youth baseball pitchers (9.80 ± 1.08 years) threw a submaximal number of pitches and were tested before, immediately after, and for the next 4 consecutive days. Time in days required per muscle group to return to baseline force production levels were compared with Little League rest guidelines for pitchers. Results indicated that Little League rest requirements did not allow for sufficient recovery of lower extremity strength (p = 0.017). Results suggest that current Little League pitching guidelines provide an inadequate recovery period for youth pitchers, even when pitching a submaximal volume. Little League pitch count regulations and associated rest days may require revisions to avoid having youth athletes pitch while fatigued.

Abstract
De Souza, EO, Tricoli, V, Rauch, J, Alvarez, MR, Laurentino, G, Aihara, AY, Cardoso, FN, Roschel, H, and Ugrinowitsch, C. Different patterns in muscular strength and hypertrophy adaptations in untrained individuals undergoing non-periodized and periodized strength regimens. J Strength Cond Res 32(5): 1238–1244, 2018—This study investigated the effects of nonperiodized (NP), traditional periodization (TP), and daily undulating periodization (UP) regimens on muscle strength and hypertrophy in untrained individuals. Thirty-three recreationally active males were randomly divided into 4 groups: NP: n = 8; TP: n = 9; UP: n = 8, and control group (C): n = 8. Experimental groups underwent a 12-week strength training program consisting of 2 sessions per week. Muscle strength and quadriceps cross-sectional area (QCSA) were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks (i.e., mid-point) and after 12 weeks. All training groups increased squat 1RM from pre to 6 weeks mid (NP: 17.02%, TP: 7.7%, and UP: 12.9%, p ≤ 0.002) and pre to post 12 weeks (NP: 19.5%, TP: 17.9%, and UP: 20.4%, p ≤ 0.0001). Traditional periodization was the only group that increased squat 1RM from 6 weeks mid to 12-week period (9.4%, p ≤ 0.008). All training groups increased QCSA from pre to 6 weeks mid (NP: 5.1%, TP: 4.6%, and UP: 5.3%, p ≤ 0.0006) and from pre to post 12 weeks (NP: 8.1%, TP: 11.3%, and UP: 8.7%, p ≤ 0.0001). From 6 weeks mid to 12-week period, TP and UP were the only groups that increased QCSA (6.4 and 3.7%, p ≤ 0.02). There were no significant changes for all dependent variables in C group across the time (p ≥ 0.05). In conclusion, our results demonstrated similar training-induced adaptations after 12 weeks of NP and periodized regimens. However, our findings suggest that in the latter half of the study (i.e., after the initial 6 weeks), the periodized regimens elicited greater rates of muscular adaptations compared with NP regimens. Strength coaches and practitioners should be aware that periodized regimens might be advantageous at latter stages of training even for untrained individuals.
Neurons in Primate Entorhinal Cortex Represent Gaze Position in Multiple Spatial Reference Frames
Authors: Meister Miriam L.R. , Buffalo Elizabeth A. 
Published: January 2018

Primates rely predominantly on vision to gather information from the environment and neurons representing visual space and gaze position are found in many brain areas. Within the medial temporal lobe, a brain region critical for memory, neurons in the entorhinal cortex of macaque monkeys exhibit spatial selectivity for gaze position. Specifically, the firing rate of single neurons reflects fixation location within a visual image (Killian et al., 2012). In the rodents, entorhinal cells such as grid cells, border cells, and head direction cells show spatial representations aligned to visual environmental features instead of the body (Hafting et al., 2005; Sargolini et al., 2006; Solstad et al., 2008; Diehl et al., 2017). However, it is not known whether similar allocentric representations exist in primate entorhinal cortex. Here, we recorded neural activity in the entorhinal cortex in two male rhesus monkeys during a naturalistic, free-viewing task. Our data reveal that a majority of entorhinal neurons represent gaze position and that simultaneously recorded neurons represent gaze position relative to distinct spatial reference frames, with some neurons aligned to the visual image and others aligned to the monkey's head position. Our results also show that entorhinal neural activity can be used to predict gaze position with a high degree of accuracy. These findings demonstrate that visuospatial representation is a fundamental property of entorhinal neurons in primates and suggest that entorhinal cortex may support relational memory and motor planning by coding attentional locus in distinct, behaviorally relevant frames of reference.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe entorhinal cortex, a brain area important for memory, shows striking spatial activity in rodents through grid cells, border cells, head direction cells, and nongrid spatial cells. The majority of entorhinal neurons signal the location of a rodent relative to visual environmental cues, representing the location of the animal relative to space in the world instead of the body. Recently, we found that entorhinal neurons can signal location of gaze while a monkey explores images visually. Here, we report that spatial entorhinal neurons are widespread in the monkey and these neurons are capable of showing a world-based spatial reference frame locked to the bounds of explored images. These results help connect the extensive findings in rodents to the primate.

Published: January 2018

Este artigo pretende analisar a obra Solidão Continental, do escritor contemporâneo João Gilberto Noll, e caracterizar seu personagem-narrador: João Bastos. Considerando-se que este é revestido de uma roupagem com traços literários filosóficos existencialistas. Isso exige uma busca, na filosofia de Sartre e Nietzsche, de elementos que deem embasamento à hipótese posta. Assim, se procedeu à análise crítica a partir das características mais íntimas, os aspectos psicológicos, para os elementos visíveis, que estão realmente à mostra, como seu agir moral. Identificou-se uma busca, pelo personagem, de algo que o preencha, retirando-o de seu dilema existencial e que o complete, antes que seu tempo finde.********************************************************************The attire (psycho-existential) of the Continental Solitude character, written by João Gilberto NollAbstract: This article aims to analyze the work Continental Solitude, by the contemporary writer João Gilberto Noll, and characterize its character-narrator: João Bastos. Considering that he is coated with a garment with philosophical existentialist literary traits. This requires a search in the philosophy of Sartre and Nietzsche of elements that give foundation to the hypothesis put here. So we proceeded to critical analysis from the most intimate features, the psychological aspects, to the visible elements that are actually on display, as his moral action. We identified a search by the character for something that might fulfill himself, taking him away from his existential dilemma and fulfilling him before time runs out.Keywords: João Gilberto Noll; Contemporary Brazilian literature; Existentialism; Nihilism
