title: Remembering a name: Neuropsychological validity studies and a computer proposal for detection of anomia

description: ABSTRACT There are contradictory results or lack of validity studies concerning the naming function and brain laterality. Although anomia is a frequent symptom of memory impairment, and the most relevant symptom of aphasia, few studies have been conducted to evaluate its validity for detecting patients with left-hemisphere damage (LD), as per the MeSH definition. Objective: To validate a paper-and-pencil confrontation naming test (CNT) according to side of brain injury; to select a valid and reliable abbreviated CNT wherein the effect of demographic variables is minimized; and to use the selected CNT to develop a computer-aided confrontation-naming evaluation (CACNE). Methods: Control data were obtained from 213 healthy participants (HP) aged 15 to 89 years. A subsample of 106 HP was demographically matched to 39 patients with LD and 40 patients with right-hemisphere damage (RD). Anomia definition and CNT cues were considered for the CACNE. Results: Test-retest and inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, and validity for detecting LD were demonstrated. A significant age effect was observed in HP. The CACNE was developed to detect anomia in interaction with environmental interventions. Conclusion: The inconsistencies observed in the CNT studies were probably due to the presence of anomia in almost 50% of the RD patients.

title: Impact of overweight and obesity on pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes – results from a retrospective multicenter study

description: ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes (GD). Subjects and methods Retrospective multicenter study using data from the Portuguese National Register. We included women with GD with a singleton pregnancy. GD diagnosis was according to the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group criteria. Women were divided into groups according to their pre-pregnancy BMI: &lt; 18.5 kg/m2 (underweight), ≥ 18.5 and &lt; 25.0 kg/m2 (normal weight), ≥ 25 and &lt; 30 kg/m2 (overweight) and ≥ 30 kg/m2 (obese). Results We included 3,103 pregnant women with GD, 29.6% (n = 918) were overweight and 27.3% (n = 846) were obese. Compared to normal weight, the overweight and obese groups had a higher percentage of gestational hypertension (4.0% and 8.5% vs. 2.1%), cesarean delivery (32.8% and 41.3% vs. 27.9%), macrosomia (3.9% and 6.7% vs. 2.4%), and large for gestational age (LGA) newborns (8.3% and 13.5% vs. 6.0%). Obesity increased the risk of gestational hypertension (OR 4.5, p &lt; 0.001), preeclampsia (OR 1.9, p = 0.034), cesarean delivery (OR 2.0, p &lt; 0.001), macrosomia (OR 3.1, p &lt; 0.001) and LGA (OR 2.3, p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion In pregnant women with GD, pregnancy complications increase with pre-pregnancy BMI. In obese women, appropriate diet and counseling prior to gestation and more aggressive medical intervention during pregnancy are needed in order to prevent macrosomic and LGA newborns and to reduce maternal complications.

title: “Moringa oleifera ” in feeding of suckling calves of the Pantaneira breed

description: SUMMARY The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of calves of the Pantaneira breed during the breastfeeding period. For this, were used ten calves, from birth to 84 days of life, with a mean body weight of 23.3Kg, divided into two treatments: C - animals receiving concentrate, and CMH animals receiving concentrate and moringa hay (Moringa oleifera). The performance was evaluated by the average daily weight gain; body growth, via measurements of heart girth and height of the withers and the rump; the dry matter intake, expressed as kg/day, percentage of body weight and as function of metabolic weight; consumption of crude protein and neutral detergent fiber; and feed conversion. The experimental design was a randomized block with two treatments and five replications, each experimental unit represented by an animal. Were realized analyses of variance and Tukey test considering a significance level of 5 % probability. The animals presented a dry matter intake, average daily weight gain, percentage of body weight and similar metabolic weight; for both treatments. Likewise, it occurred for feed conversion and crude protein, except for neutral detergent fiber where hay fed animals showed higher intake. The performance of the suckling calves was not affected by the inclusion of moringa hay.

title: Study of Conservation on Implicit Techniques for Unstructured Finite Volume Navier-Stokes Solvers

description: ABSTRACT: The work is a study of conservation on linearization techniques of time-marching schemes for the unstructured finite volume Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes formulation. The solver used in this work calculates the numerical flux applying an upwind discretization based on the flux vector splitting scheme. This numerical treatment results in a very large sparse linear system. The direct solution of this full implicit linear system is very expensive and, in most cases, impractical. There are several numerical approaches which are commonly used by the scientific community to treat sparse linear systems, and the point-implicit integration was selected in the present case. However, numerical approaches to solve implicit linear systems can be non-conservative in time, even for formulations which are conservative by construction, as the finite volume techniques. Moreover, there are physical problems which strongly demand conservative schemes in order to achieve the correct numerical solution. The work presents results of numerical simulations to evaluate the conservation of implicit and explicit time-marching methods and discusses numerical requirements that can help avoiding such non-conservation issues.

title: Metabolic phenotypes of obese, overweight, and normal weight individuals and risk of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

description: ABSTRACT Objective Chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk is inconsistent in the normal-weight, overweight, and obese individuals due to the heterogeneity of metabolic status. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the combined effects of body mass index (BMI) and metabolic status on CKD risk. Materials and methods The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Knowledge databases were systematically searched up to March 2019 to identify all eligible studies investigating the CKD risk (defined as GFR &lt; 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 and/or microalbuminuria or proteinuria) associated with the body size phenotypes which are known as metabolically unhealthy normal-weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy overweight (MHOW), metabolically unhealthy overweight, metabolically healthy obese (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO). The classification of subjects in included studies as metabolically unhealthy was based on the presence of three components of metabolic syndrome. BMI categorization was based on the criteria of included studies. The risk estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and pooled using random effects analysis. Results A total of 9 prospective cohort studies with 128773 participants and 4797 incident cases were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with healthy normal-weight individuals as reference, MUNW and MHO subjects showed an increased risk for CKD events with a pooled RR of 1.58 (95% CI = 1.28-1.96) in MUNW and 1.55 (95% CI = 1.34-1.79) in MHO persons. Also, MHOW was at increased risk for CKD (RR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.20-1.51). MUHO individuals were at the highest risk for the development of CKD (RR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.66-2.72). Conclusions Individuals with metabolic abnormality, although at normal-weight, have an increased risk for CKD. Healthy overweight and obese individuals had higher risk; refuting the notion that metabolically healthy overweight and obese phenotypes are benign conditions.

title: Biochemical identification of pathogenic bacteria isolates of ornamental fish in the state of Amazon

description: Ornamental fish in the Amazon are largely exported to the major centers of distribution and sale of ornamental fish in the world, located in the USA, Japan and Germany and at least eight species stand out as major. These species are collected in the medium and upper Rio Negro, in the municipality of Barcelos, in the state of Amazonas, which accounts for about 70% of exports of ornamental fish from Brazil and generating annual revenues of more than 6 million dollars. Because of the intense ornamental fish trade in the region, importers of fish from the Amazon have questioned the sanity of these animals about microorganisms, especially bacteria and viruses that cause disease in these animals. Bacterial and viral diseases can occur in all species of fish maintained under conditions of exploitation causing significant economic losses. Our goal was to verify the occurrence of potentially pathogenic bacteria in ornamental fishes exported from the state of Amazonas. Biochemical characterization of bacterial isolates from five species of ornamental fish allowed the identification of genus (Staphylococcus,Nocardia, Acinetobacter andLactococcus), with important bacterial species causing mortalities in marine and freshwater fish. While Amazon has great biodiversity, there are few studies to investigate this complexity, mainly related to the presence of pathogens causing bacterial diseases on ornamental fish. The results demonstrate the occurrence of pathogenical bacteria or with pathogenic potential in different species of ornamental fish traded from the state of Amazonas.

title: Incidence of ruminite and liver abscess of feedlot bullocks fed high concentrate diets containing feed additives

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of polyclonal antibodies preparation (PAP) and/or monensin (MON) on the morphology of the rumen papillae, incidence of ruminate (IR) and liver abscess in feedlot bullocks. Seventy-two bullocks Brangus (261.04 ± 34.73kg) were housed in 24 pens (3 bullocks/pen) with6 replications per treatment. The experimental design was completely randomized 2 x 2 factorial, the factors werethe inclusion or not of MON and PAP.After slaughter, the evaluations were performed. For the livers, both the percentage of abscesses and the severity of them were lower (P&lt; 0.01) in animals fed diets with PAP than those fed MON. The inclusion of MON in the diet was only effective in reducing (P&lt; 0.01) the severity of the abscesses in relation to treatment without this additive. There was no effect (P&gt; 0.05) of additives on the IR. The treatment with MON had higher (P = 0.07) surface absorption/cm<sup>2</sup> wall of the rumen and greater (P = 0.10) papillary area compared to treatment without this additive. Number of papillae/cm<sup>2</sup> wall and average area of the papillae showed no difference among treatments. The use of PAP was effective in reducing HA as well as the severity the same, but was not able to improve the shape and structure of the ruminal papillae, as observed with the use of MON.

title: Evaluation of Galectin-3 and Myocardial Fibrosis in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

description: Abstract Background: Galectin-3 is the designation given to the protein that binds to ß-galactosides, expressed by activated macrophages and described as a cardiac fibrosis mediator. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), myocardial fibrosis is an independent predictor of adverse outcome; however, the association between Galectin-3 and myocardial fibrosis has not been studied in this cardiopathy. Objective: To evaluate the association of Galectin-3 and the presence of myocardial fibrosis in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods: Galectin-3 was measured in automated equipment using the Elisa technique in 100 participants divided into two groups: 50 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and 50 healthy control subjects. All patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy underwent magnetic nuclear resonance with the late enhancement technique to investigate myocardial fibrosis. For the statistical analysis, p values &lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Galectin-3 levels were low and did not show significant differences between patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the control group, 10.3 ± 3.1 ng/dL and 11.3 ± 2.6 ng/dL (p = 0.12) respectively. Myocardial fibrosis was a common finding and was identified in 84% (42/50) of patients with HCM, but no differences were observed between Galectin-3 levels when comparing patients with and without fibrosis, 10.3 ± 2.4 ng/dL and 10.1 ± 2.1 ng/dL (p = 0.59). Conclusion: The results did not show an association between Galectin-3 and myocardial fibrosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, suggesting that non-inflammatory mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis formation and cardiac remodeling are involved in this cardiopathy.

title: Machado de Assis and Sílvio Romero: slavery, race and scientificism in times of abolitionist campaign (1880s)

description: Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore the historicity and disagreements around the abolitionism and the presence of the “black race” in Brazil in the late nineteenth century, essentially in the 1880s, in the work of Machado de Assis (1839-1911) and Sílvio Romero (1849-1914). In that period, the great public debates revolved around the literary phenomenon, which is the reason why it was decided to investigate the way the slavery and the abolitionism and the scientific racism appear in the texts of the historian and literary critic Sílvio Romero, as well as in the literary production of Machado de Assis. Both of them were prestigious names in the Respublica litterarum and would become founding partners of the Academia Brasileira de Letras in 1897, despite deep intellectual and political differences, which this paper seeks to investigate.
