Authors: Souza William Gualberto Gonçalves de , Lordello Silvia Renata Magalhães , Murta Sheila Giardini 
Published: May 2022

A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender como se manifesta a violência em relacionamentos amorosos de adolescentes do sexo feminino no contexto de internação socioeducativa. A pesquisa foi realizada tendo a inserção ecológica como método. O pesquisador realizou 32 visitas a uma unidade de internação mista, com média de 3h por visita. Considerou-se participante da pesquisa 25 pessoas (14 adolescentes e 11 servidoras). Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática e apontaram para a presença da violência em relacionamentos amorosos das adolescentes, tanto atuais como pregressos. A violência cumpre várias funções no relacionamento amoroso e afeta o desenvolvimento de competências psicossociais. A unidade não dispunha de intervenção que abordasse prevenção à violência no namoro, apesar de relacionamentos amorosos aparecerem como um componente do projeto de vida. É fundamental a compreensão das múltiplas violências as quais o público feminino está submetido para qualificação do atendimento socioeducativo.

OBJECTIVE
Although carotenoids have been suggested to exhibit antioxidant properties, some experimental studies reported that β-carotene may show pro-oxidant effects under certain conditions. Current evidence regarding the cardiovascular effects of carotenoids among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is scarce. This study aimed to prospectively examine the associations of individual serum carotenoid concentrations with cardiovascular mortality among adults with T2D.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This analysis included 3,107 individuals with T2D from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) and NHANES 2001–2006. Cardiovascular mortality was ascertained by linkage to National Death Index records through 31 December 2015. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs.

RESULTS
During an average of 14 years of follow-up, 441 cardiovascular deaths occurred. After multivariate adjustment including lifestyles, dietary factors, glucose control, and other major carotenoids, higher serum β-carotene concentrations were significantly associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular mortality in a dose-response manner. When extreme quartiles of β-carotene were compared, the multivariable-adjusted HR was 2.47 (95% CI 1.62, 3.76) for cardiovascular mortality (Ptrend = 0.002); and per one-unit increment in natural log-transformed serum β-carotene was associated with a 46% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (P = 0.001). Other individual carotenoids (α-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and lutein/zeaxanthin) were not significantly associated with the risk of cardiovascular mortality. Consistent results were observed when stratifying by age, sex, race, BMI, smoking status, diabetes duration, and glycated hemoglobin A1c levels.

CONCLUSIONS
Higher concentrations of serum β-carotene, but not other individual carotenoids, were significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality among individuals with T2D. Our findings, if replicated, underscore the need to estimate the optimal serum β-carotene concentrations in individuals with T2D.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The texture of a fabric can be perceived by the haptic and visual senses. Visual texture can be defined as a visual quality of a surface. It is an important phenomenon because it can be significant in many fields, such as textile design and e-commerce. At the same time, when we consider the semantics of the word, it is important to take into account that there are a variety of manifestations of fabrics (e.g., woven, knitted, etc.). The mechanism of visual texture perception of fabrics was investigated by measuring visual evaluation values. In our experiment, 12 textile samples with different surface textures are evaluated using thirty-four adjectives (Kansei words). For each visual texture, the adjectives with the highest mean ratings are extracted and analyzed. By using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), we aimed to discover and determine preferences for the visual texture of fabrics. The result is a semantic explanation of fabric texture with the adjectives proposed, which can help customers to evaluate the quality of the textile.

Abstract

Purpose
To explore clinical and pathological characteristics of testicular cancer and also identify factors associated with its oncological outcomes. Testicular cancer has a very good prognosis. Actually, we aim to report on 10 years of experience in the real-world practice of treating testicular cancer in a university-based hospital.

Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study of testicular cancer patients in Songklanagarind hospital; from January 2007 and December 2016, all eligible testicular cancer patients were included. Clinical characteristics (age, physical examination findings, tumour markers, histopathology, clinical stage, and initial treatment) and clinical outcomes were collected. These patients were divided into two groups: seminoma patients (seminomas) and non-seminoma patients (non-seminomas). Clinical characteristics and outcomes of treatment were analysed, and factors associated with oncological outcomes were identified.

Results
In 45 patients, median age 33 years, with diagnosis of testicular cancer, seminomas and non-seminomas were responsible for 23 (52.8%) and 22 (49%) of the cases, respectively. The median time of follow-up was 80.6 months (range: 1.8 to 120 months). The five-year OS was 94.7% and 57.1% in the seminoma and non-seminoma groups, respectively. For non-seminomas, five-year OS were 71.4%, 50%, and 42.9% in stage Ib–IIIa, IIIb, and IIIc, respectively, and for seminoma they were 92.3% and 100% in stage Ib–IIIa and IIIb, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that non-seminoma, higher staging, and higher IGCCC risk were associated with poorer survival, significantly (p < 0.05).

Conclusions
Seminoma has a good prognosis and survival at all stages, whereas, in the non-seminoma group, higher staging and IGCCC risk were independent factors associated with a poorer prognosis.

Summary
We describe for the first time the transmission route employed by the parasitic larvae of the freshwater mussel Anodontites trapesialis (Lamarck, 1819) during cohabitation on the guppy Poecilia reticulata Peter, 1859. The freshwater mussel and fish-host were employed as a model system to investigate the infection and parasite establishment. Laboratory experiments included video recording and histopathological analysis of the infection. In vivo video observations demonstrated that lasidium larvae could be transmitted to guppies during direct contact. A series of histology samples and photography suggest that this larva attaches and colonizes possibly on-site on the outer surface of the fish, causing cellular inflammation in the epidermis layer with cellular hyperplasia in the zone of parasite attachment. An evident hyaline layer, cellular hypertrophy, and a large number of undifferentiated proliferating cells were observed. Hemorrhagic tissue and swelling were observed in the epidermis and dermic zone. The total number of larvae per male and female guppy was 525 ± 86 and 494 ± 167, respectively. No parasitic preference was detected for male versus female parasitized fish.

Summary
Cystic echinococcosis is speculated to exert several immune-evasion strategies involving autoimmune-phenomena. We evaluated the hypothesizes that the prevalence of autoantibodies increases in the sera of CE patients that may evidence the association between the parasite and autoimmune diseases. Sera from 63 subjects at distinct types of CE cyst fertility were investigated for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), and anti-CCP antibodies. Plasma levels and cellular production of IL-17A cytokine were specifically defined as being assumed to prime for autoimmunity. Healthy-controls were age and gender-matched to test sera. ANA expressions inside the surgically removed metacestode and adventitial layer were also assayed. Out of 63 patients, 35 % had fertile highly viable cysts (group-1), 41 % had fertile low viable cysts (group-2) and 24 % had non-fertile cysts (group-3). A four-fold increase in ANA sera-levels was detected in group-1 compared with their controls (p-value 0.001) while anti-CCP levels were of insignificant differences. In group-2 and group-3, no significant differences were detected between ANA and anti-CCP sera-levels in CE patients and their controls. IL-17A sera-levels in group-1 and group- 2 were significantly higher than their healthy-controls while being of insignificant differences in group-3, p-value= 0.300. No association was detected between sera-levels of IL-17A and ANA as well as anti-CCP antibodies. Interestingly, relative IL-17A cellular expression associated positive ANA deposition in the parasite cells and adventitial layer. Collectively, based on the parasite fertility, IL-17A and ANA seemed to be involved in the host immune defenses against CE. There is no association between CE and anti-CCP antibodies.

Abstract

Background
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Carboplatin and cisplatin based regimens are used in the treatment of NSCLC. The aim of the study was to find out whether there is a difference in white matter (WM) changes between two platinum-based chemotherapy agents using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Patients and methods
25 patients who received chemotherapy for NSCLC and 27 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), mean diffusivity (MD) and radial diffusivity (RD) values of the study population were measured from 11 regions of interest in pre-chemotherapy and post-chemotherapy MRI data.

Results
Cisplatin group showed a significant decrease in the FA of the inferior longitudinal fasciculus (P = 0.028). Carboplatin group showed a significant FA decrease and RD increase in the forceps minor (P = 0.022 and P = 0.011, respectively), and a significant reduction in AD and increase in MD in frontal white matter (WM) (P = 0.008 and P = 0.029, respectively). In comparison of post chemotherapy DTI values of the two groups, carboplatin group showed lower FA, and higher MD and RD values than cisplatin group in parieto-occipital WM (P = 0.034, P = 0.034, P = 0.029, respectively).

Conclusions
The findings of the study suggest that subtle effects of chemotherapy detectable with DTI may emerge after the treatment. In addition, carboplatin regimen may have more impact on WM than cisplatin regimen.

This research aims to build a system that can maintain the security of the cage, give feed quail automatically and weigh the weight of the feed by the needs of quail based on the time of eating quail per day. The system consisted of several components, namely fingerprint, SW- 420, buzzer, LED, relay, Arduino Uno, solenoid key, servo, RTC, and Load cell. Access is restricted by examining the authentication through a fingerprint on the fingerprint sensor. If access is granted, then the cage door will open. Otherwise, the door remain close, and if the door is tampered with or opened by force, the SW-420 will automatically detect vibration on the door and turn on the buzzer as a notification. On the part feeding, a separate container-shaped tube as feed storage will be mounted to the motor servo, and the load cell as a tool weighing the weight of the feed is mounted on the container. The servo spin (open) duration is adjusted by the load cell when weighing the feed coming out of the servo with the amount of feed out by the requirements set out in the range of 14-16 gr/session time. Feed that has weighed on the container is ready to be consumed by the quail.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are applied using thermal spray coating (TSC) processes to components that are internally cooled and operated in a heated environment. The TSC microstructures are prone to interactions with common metallographic procedures that may result in artifacts and misinterpretation of the TSC microstructure. This article aims to aid in identifying metallographic TSC artifacts, specifically in the air plasma spray zirconia-based TBC, including both of its common constituents, the bond coating and the top coating. Artifacts that result from specific sectioning and mounting practices, as well as from different polishing times, are presented. Additionally, the article discusses the factors in optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy that affect microstructure interpretation.
