DESMASCARANDO O QUERATOCONE: EFEITO DO EPITÉLIO CORNEANO NO QUERATOCONE
Creators: name: Coelho, João
Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2019

description: Introdução:Na presença de uma córnea irregular, como no queratocone, o epitélio tem uma distribuição diferente do normal, “mascarando” a irregularidade do estroma. A avaliação topográfica sem considerar o efeito do epitélio pode induzir uma avaliação menos correta, afetando a precisão de um eventual tratamento guiado por topografia. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o efeito de “máscara” do epitélio no queratocone, comparando a tomografia corneana com e sem epitélio, no decurso da realização de Crosslinking (CXL). Materiais e métodos:5 olhos de 5 doentes com queratocone em progressão submetidos a CXL segundo o protocolo original de Dresden. Foi realizada tomografia corneana antes e durante o procedimento (imediatamente após a remoção do epitélio), e avaliados os valores da queratometria - K1, K2, K médio (Km), ponto de máxima curvatura (Kmax), valores paquimétricos e astigmatismo corneano. Resultados:Os valores médios de curvatura corneanas antes e após a remoção do epitélio foram de: K1: 42,96±2,69D e 44,32±2,64D (p=0,080); K2: 46,84±3,35D e 49,38±2,86D (p=0,031); Km: 44,8±2,94D e 46,72±2,60D (p=0,042). Observou-se igualmente um aumento estatisticamente significativo do valor de queratometria máxima após a remoção do epitélio (p=0,043), bem como do astigmatismo da superfície anterior da córnea (p=0,038). Na paquimetria central observou-se uma redução média de 29,8µm de 528,0±38,5µm para 498,2±37,7µm (p= 0,027). Conclusão:Observou-se um aumento estatisticamente significativo nos valores do Kmax, K2, Kmédio e astigmatismo corneano, após remoção do epitélio. Este estudo demonstra o efeito de “máscara” que o epitélio exerce no queratocone.

description: A generalized quantum theoretical framework, not restricted to the validity domain of standard quantum physics, is used to model the dynamics of the bistable perception of ambiguous visual stimuli. The central idea is to treat the perception process in terms of the evolution of an unstable two-state quantum system, yielding a quantum Zeno type of effect. A quantitative relation between the involved time scales is theoretically derived. This relation is found to be satisfied by empirically obtained cognitive time scales relevant for bistable perception.

description: We perform simulations of planar arrays of superheated superconducting granules (PASS) under an external magnetic field, analyzing transitions undergone by the system when the external field is slowly increased from zero. We observe, for high concentrations, the existence of an interval of external fields for which no transitions are induced. This effect is analogous to a "hot border zone" identified in the response of Superheated Superconducting Granule detectors. We explain such behaviour as produced by a geometrical ordering dynamically induced in the system by transitions in preferential sites due to diamagnetic interactions.

description: We analyse the most general supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity consisting of a warped product of five-dimensional anti-de-Sitter space with a six-dimensional Riemannian space M_6, with four-form flux on M_6. We show that M_6 is partly specified by a one-parameter family of four-dimensional Kahler metrics. We find a large family of new explicit regular solutions where M_6 is a compact, complex manifold which is topologically a two-sphere bundle over a four-dimensional base, where the latter is either (i) Kahler-Einstein with positive curvature, or (ii) a product of two constant-curvature Riemann surfaces. After dimensional reduction and T-duality, some solutions in the second class are related to a new family of Sasaki-Einstein spaces which includes T^{1,1}/Z_2. Our general analysis also covers warped products of five-dimensional Minkowski space with a six-dimensional Riemannian space.

description: Purpose: To establish normative values in a Portuguese pediatric population for retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), macular, macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and subfoveal choroidal (SFC) thicknesses Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled children, 4 to 17 years old, attending the Ophthalmology Department of Hospital de Braga. All subjects underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic examination and were scanned with Cirrus Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT). Results: A total of 348 children (9.85±3.49 years) were included. Average RNFL thickness was 97.45±9.78µm and the distribution of RNFL thickness was in agreement with the ISNT rule. Average RNFL thickness showed a positive significant relationship with optic disc (OD) area (p=0.007). A significant positive relationship was also found for OD area (p=0.001 and p=0.04, respectively) and spherical equivalent (SE) (p=0.008 and p=0.004, respectively), in the inferior and nasal quadrants. Average macular thickness was 282.22±11.91µm. Central subfield was the thinnest region, followed by the external ring, while the internal ring was the thickest (p<0.001). Age, SE and gender were the strongest predictors of macular thickness. A negative association was found between the superior external macular thickness and age (p=0.009). A lower thickness in the outer macular region was associated with higher myopic refractive error (p<0.05). Boys had on average a thicker macula (p<0.05). Average GCIPL thickness was 84.97±4.78 µm and average SFC thickness was 374.76±42.51 µm. Conclusion: This study established a SD-OCT normative database for healthy Portuguese children aged 4 to 17 years old, which could improve diagnosis and management of pediatric ophthalmic disorders in children.

description: The SignWriting improved fast transcriber (SWift), presented in this paper, is an advanced editor for computer-aided writing and transcribing of any Sign Language (SL) using SignWriting (SW). The application is an editor which allows composing and saving desired signs using the SW elementary components, called "glyphs". These make up a sort of alphabet, which does not depend on the national Sign Language and which codes the basic components of any sign. The user is guided through a fully-automated procedure, making the composition process fast and intuitive. SWift pursues the goal of helping to break down the "electronic barriers" that keep deaf people away from the web, and at the same time to support linguistic research about Sign Languages features. For this reason it has been designed with a special attention to deaf user needs, and to general usability issues. The editor has been developed in a modular way, so it can be integrated everywhere the use of SW as an alternative to written "verbal" language may be advisable.

Ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit the ground-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional half-filled extended Hubbard model with on-site (U) and nearest-neighbor (V) repulsive interactions. In the first half of the paper, using the weak-coupling renormalization-group approach (g-ology) including second-order corrections to the coupling constants, we show that bond-charge-density-wave (BCDW) phase exists for U \approx 2V in between charge-density-wave (CDW) and spin-density-wave (SDW) phases. We find that the umklapp scattering of parallel-spin electrons disfavors the BCDW state and leads to a bicritical point where the CDW-BCDW and SDW-BCDW continuous-transition lines merge into the CDW-SDW first-order transition line. In the second half of the paper, we investigate the phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model with either additional staggered site potential Δor bond alternation δ. Although the alternating site potential Δstrongly favors the CDW state (that is, a band insulator), the BCDW state is not destroyed completely and occupies a finite region in the phase diagram. Our result is a natural generalization of the work by Fabrizio, Gogolin, and Nersesyan [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2014 (1999)], who predicted the existence of a spontaneously dimerized insulating state between a band insulator and a Mott insulator in the phase diagram of the ionic Hubbard model. The bond alternation δdestroys the SDW state and changes it into the BCDW state (or Peierls insulating state). As a result the phase diagram of the model with δcontains only a single critical line separating the Peierls insulator phase and the CDW phase. The addition of Δor δchanges the universality class of the CDW-BCDW transition from the Gaussian transition into the Ising transition.

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To identify changes in choroidal structure in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR) that led to choroidal thickening after one year of follow-up, by differentiating alterations in the stromal and vascular areas of the choroid. Methods: Prospective observational cohort study in which 125 diabetic patients without DR were included, from October 2014 to December 2015. Patients received a complete ophthalmologic evaluation including spectral domain optical coherence tomography scans using enhanced depth imaging mode in the first visit (V1) and in a second visit after 12 months (V2). A 1500µm subfoveal choroidal area (total choroidal area [TCA]) was segmented into luminal area (LA) and stromal area (SA) using an image binarization technique. To assess the vascular status of the choroid, the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was calculated as the proportion of LA to TCA. Generalized linear mixed-effects regression models were used. Results: Of the 125 patients, 103 completed the study, nine of which developed DR (8.7%). SA was significantly higher at V2 than at V1 (p=0.010), while CVI was significantly lower (p=0.028). TCA and SA were negatively associated with axial length (p=0.010 and p=0.011, respectively) and positively with CT (p<0.001). CVI was positively associated with axial length (p=0.001) and spherical equivalent (p<0.001). The presence of DR increased the CVI by 1.60% (p=0.042). Conclusion: After 12 months of follow-up, diabetic patients without DR at baseline appear to have a thicker choroid at the expense of decreased vascularity and stromal thickening. These structural changes may be due to ischemic processes in choroidal vasculature, with subsequent hyperpermeability and increased extracellular matrix deposition, and may represent the primary event in diabetes before the onset of DR.

description: This study aimed for a detailed understanding of the impact of different process parameters involved during celecoxib-loaded microsphere preparation based on propylene carbonate emulsion-precursors. Microspheres were prepared by a modified emulsification-solvent extraction method. Performed investigations included polymer solubility and viscosity, microsphere size, morphology and stability, propylene carbonate content as well as celecoxib solid state, content and release. Rough-walled round microspheres with sizes between 21 µm and 122 µm and an internal sponge-like structure filled with residual propylene carbonate (content between 1.9 ± 0.1% and 6.7 ± 0.5% w/w) were obtained. Encapsulation efficiencies varied between 28.3 ± 0.1% and 66.8 ± 1.0%. The release rates were affected by the polymer concentration, the emulsion phase ratio and the residual propylene carbonate content (t50% varied between 2.2 hours and 23.4 hours). This study identified the most relevant process parameters for this new preparation method for the model drug celecoxib.

description: Resistivity saturation is observed in many metallic systems with a large resistivity, i.e., when the resistivity has reached a critical value, its further increase with temperature is substantially reduced. This typically happens when the apparent mean free path is comparable to the interatomic separations - the Ioffe-Regel condition. Recently, several exceptions to this rule have been found. Here, we review experimental results and early theories of resistivity saturation. We then describe more recent theoretical work, addressing cases both where the Ioffe-Regel condition is satisfied and where it is violated. In particular we show how the (semiclassical) Ioffe-Regel condition can be derived quantum-mechanically under certain assumptions about the system and why these assumptions are violated for high-Tc cuprates and alkali-doped fullerides.

Electroweak Symmetry Breaking via UV Insensitive Anomaly Mediation

description: Anomaly mediation solves the supersymmetric flavor and CP problems. This is because the superconformal anomaly dictates that supersymmetry breaking is transmitted through nearly flavor-blind infrared physics that is highly predictive and UV insensitive. Slepton mass squareds, however, are predicted to be negative. This can be solved by adding D-terms for U(1)_Y and U(1)_{B-L} while retaining the UV insensitivity. In this paper we consider electroweak symmetry breaking via UV insensitive anomaly mediation in several models. For the MSSM we find a stable vacuum when tanbeta < 1, but in this region the top Yukawa coupling blows up only slightly above the supersymmetry breaking scale. For the NMSSM, we find a stable electroweak breaking vacuum but with a chargino that is too light. Replacing the cubic singlet term in the NMSSM superpotential with a term linear in the singlet we find a stable vacuum and viable spectrum. Most of the parameter region with correct vacua requires a large superpotential coupling, precisely what is expected in the ``Fat Higgs'' model in which the superpotential is generated dynamically. We have therefore found the first viable UV complete, UV insensitive supersymmetry breaking model that solves the flavor and CP problems automatically: the Fat Higgs model with UV insensitive anomaly mediation. Moreover, the cosmological gravitino problem is naturally solved, opening up the possibility of realistic thermal leptogenesis.

Data regarding patients with ankylosing spondylitis prescribed TNFis were obtained from an insurance claims database of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service in Korea. Outcomes used were incidence rates of serious infection, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and herpes zoster during the follow-up period as well as the relationship between each TNFi and sex, hazard ratio (HR) of infection-related risk factors, and incidence of infections. A total of 2515 patients were included. There were no significant differences among the hazard ratios of TNFis for serious infection, pneumonia, and herpes zoster. However, the hazard ratio of tuberculosis was significantly higher for infliximab than for etanercept (adjusted HR 8.40 [95% confidence interval: 1.06–66.91]). In the subgroup analysis by sex, women treated with golimumab had a significantly higher hazard of herpes zoster than those treated with etanercept (adjusted HR 12.40 [95% confidence interval: 1.40–109.58]). We recommend that risk factors for these infectious diseases be identified prior to prescribing TNFis in these patients.

description: Fatty acid sugar esters represent an important class of non-ionic bio-based surfactants. They can be synthesized from vinyl fatty acids and sugars with enzyme as a catalyst. Herein, the influence of the solvent, the lipase and the temperature on a model reaction between vinyl palmitate and glucose via enzymatic catalysis has been investigated and the reaction conditions optimized. Full conversion into 6-O-glucose palmitate was reached in 40 hours in acetonitrile starting from a reactant ratio 1:1, at only 5%-wt loading of lipase from Candida antarctica B (CALB) without the presence of molecular sieves.

description: To investigate the risk factors and clinical characteristics of lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We enrolled patients with RA aged ≥20 years who visited the participating hospitals between April 2011 and July 2011. We investigated the risk factors for LPD using a Cox proportional hazard model and described pathological features and vital prognosis of LPD in patients with RA. We enrolled 9815 patients with the following characteristics at baseline: female 79.4%, median age 63 years; median disease duration 7 years; median DAS28-CRP (3) 3.1; prevalence of MTX use 60.0%. Sixty-eight patients (0.69%) developed LPD in 3-year observation period. Multivariable analysis showed that age by decade (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.47 [1.18–1.85]) and MTX use at baseline (2.35 [1.25–4.42] for ≤8 mg/week, 4.39 [2.07–9.32] for >8 mg/week versus non-use) were significant risk factors of LPD. Of 55 patients with pathological diagnosis, diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the most frequent (54%). The 5-year mortality of LPD was 24%. The major cause of death was lymphoma (81%). This nationwide study revealed risk factors, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of LPD in the largest number of Japanese patients with RA.

description: The interplay of electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling and topology holds promise for the realization of exotic states of quantum matter. Models of strongly interacting electrons on honeycomb lattices have revealed rich phase diagrams featuring unconventional quantum states including chiral superconductivity and correlated quantum spin Hall insulators intertwining with complex magnetic order. Material realizations of these electronic states are however scarce or inexistent. In this work, we propose and show that stacking 1T-TaSe$_{2}$ into bilayers can deconfine electrons from a deep Mott insulating state in the monolayer to a system of correlated Dirac fermions subject to sizable spin-orbit coupling in the bilayer. 1T-TaSe$_{2}$ develops a Star-of-David (SoD) charge density wave pattern in each layer. When the SoD centers belonging to two adyacent layers are stacked in a honeycomb pattern, the system realizes a generalized Kane-Mele-Hubbard model in a regime where Dirac semimetallic states are subject to significant Mott-Hubbard interactions and spin-orbit coupling. At charge neutrality, the system is close to a quantum phase transition between a quantum spin Hall and an antiferromagnetic insulator. We identify a perpendicular electric field and the twisting angle as two knobs to control topology and spin-orbit coupling in the system. Their combination can drive it across hitherto unexplored grounds of correlated electron physics including a quantum tricritical point and an exotic first-order topological phase transition.

Realizado no Centro Universitário da Fundação Assis Gurgacz - FAG, na cidade de Cascavel – PR- Brasil, entre Fevereiro e Setembro de 2017. Resultados: Foram avaliados e tratados cinco indivíduos, sendo quatro do sexo feminino e um do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 33,8±14,8 anos. Todos apresentaram melhora em relação ao ponto próximo de convergência, tendo média inicial de 18,1±3,8cm e média final de 11,2±4,5cm, com diferença da média (DM) de 6,9±2,4 pontos com intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC 95%) de 3,8-9,9 pontos P=0,03. Em relação ao questionário CISS, quatro apresentaram diminuição na pontuação, apresentando média inicial de 28,8±7,4 pontos e média final de 23,0±11,6 pontos, com DM=5,8±9,5 e IC 95% -6,1-9,2 pontos P=0,24. Já em relação à acuidade visual, os indivíduos não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa. Conclusões: Conclui-se que a terapia visual é eficaz para o tratamento da insuficiência de convergência, com redução da sintomatologia e do ponto próximo de convergência.

description: We provide an experimental study of the relationship between the action of different classical noises on the dephasing dynamics of a two-level system and the non-Markovianity of the quantum dynamics. The two-level system is encoded in the photonic polarization degrees of freedom and the action of the noise is obtained via a spatial light modulator, thus allowing for an easy engineering of different random environments. The quantum non-Markovianity of the dynamics driven by classical Markovian and non-Markovian noise, both Gaussian and non-Gaussian, is studied by means of the trace distance. Our study clearly shows the different nature of the notion of non-Markovian classical process and non-Markovian quantum dynamics.

description: To analyze the proportion of successful biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) discontinuation and related factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in clinical settings. Among 1775 RA patients who started bDMARDs between 2003 and 2012, 43 patients with DAS28-ESR <3.2 at the time of bDMARD discontinuation were extracted. Patients were divided into two groups (bio-free success: BS and bio-free failure: BF groups) based on bDMARD usage and disease activity 1 year after discontinuation. We evaluated the proportion of bio-free success and assessed factors related to bio-free success. Twenty-five patients (58.1%: BS group) maintained discontinuation of bDMARDs and DAS28-ESR <3.2 at 1 year after discontinuation. The median DAS28-ESR at bDMARD initiation was lower in the BS group than in the BF group (3.95 vs 5.04; p = .04). The BS group experienced a larger decrease in average glucocorticoid (GC) dose during bDMARD use than the BF group (−3.0 mg/day vs 0 mg/day; p = .01). bDMARDs were discontinued without flare up of RA in 58.1% of patients with RA in clinical settings. A lower DAS28-ESR at initiation and reduction of GC dose before discontinuation of bDMARD were important factors associated with bio-free success.

description: Optical activity, like Faraday effect, is a rotation of the plane of polarization of propagating light in a medium and can be attributed to different sources with distinct signatures. In this note we discuss the effect of optical activity {\it{in vacuum}} due to Kaluza-Klein scalar field $ϕ$, in the presence of an external electro-magnetic field. The astrophysical implication of this effect is indicated. We also point out the possibility of observing the same in laboratory conditions.

description: We present the results of a deep (80 ks) XMM-Newton survey of one of the largest sample of near-infrared selected Extremely Red Objects (R-K>5) available to date (~300 objects, Daddi et al. 2000). The fraction of individually detected, X-ray emitting EROs is of the order of ~3.5%, down to F_x > 4x10^-15 cgs and Ks<19.2. In order to derive the X-ray intrinsic properties of AGN EROs and to place our findings in a broader context, we have also considered all the X-ray detected EROs available in the literature. The X-ray, optical, and near-infrared properties of those X-ray selected EROs with a spectroscopic or photometric redshift nicely match those expected for quasars 2, the high-luminosity, high-redshift obscured AGNs predicted in XRB synthesis models.

description: Objectivos: A neuropatia óptica isquémica anterior não arterítica é a causa mais comum de neuropatia óptica isquémica aguda, sendo uma causa importante de perda visual irreversível. Em Portugal, não há dados exatos relativamente à prevalência desta patologia. Assim, o objectivo deste estudo consiste na caracterização do perfil do doente e avaliação do efeito da corticoterapia e da terapêutica antiagregante no seu tratamento. Materiais e métodos: Análise retrospetiva dos doentes seguidos em consulta de Neuroftalmologia no Centro Hospitalar São João entre 2013-2016. Resultados: Foram incluídos 66 doentes com idade média de 59,84 ±10,22 anos (variação dos 39 aos 87 anos), sendo 57,6% do sexo masculino. Em 68,1% dos casos, a apresentação foi unilateral. 19,7% dos doentes tinha descrição de crowded disc no olho adelfo. 53,0% doentes apresentavam hipertensão arterial, 27,3% diabetes mellitus e 71,2% dislipidemia. À apresentação, a mediana da acuidade visual corrigida, nos casos unilaterais, era de 0,40 ±0,70 (LogMAR). 32,3% dos doentes iniciou a associação corticóides e ácido acetilsalicílico e 52,3% apenas este último isoladamente. A mediana da acuidade visual corrigida nos doentes submetidos à associação terapêutica não diferiu significativamente do grupo submetido apenas ao ácido acetilsalicílico. Conclusão: Este estudo não demonstrou benefício da associação de corticoterapia e ácido acetilsalicílico nem do uso isolado de ácido acetilsalicílico na acuidade visual. A corticoterapia sem benefício comprovado está associada ao aumento de custos, internamentos e complicações, tornando-se difícil justificar a sua aplicação na prática clínica como tratamento da neuropatia óptica isquémica anterior não arterítica.
