title: River damming affects seedling communities of a floodplain forest in the Central Amazon

description: ABSTRACT The flood pulse of black water rivers in the Amazon basin determines the composition of species along the flood gradient in igapó forests. The Balbina dam, built on the Uatumã River, has altered the flood pulse and caused changes in the floristic composition of adult trees throughout the downstream area. There is a lack of studies on how communities of seedlings in igapó forests respond to changes in the flood pulse. This study investigates the response of seedling communities in the igapó forest downstream the Balbina dam and compares it with two pristine areas. The areas were sampled with transects of 1x25 m within 36 plots (25x25 m) along the flood gradient. Richness and dominance were calculated by simple regression and ordination analyses. The pristine areas had the same pattern of richness, dominance and genera distribution along the flood gradient. However, the affected Uatumã area formed different groups of genera by NMDS analysis, which divided them along the flood gradient with significantly increased dominance of three genera. The insertion of the Balbina dam resulted a loss of lateral and longitudinal connectivity for the Uatumã River, and the alteration to seedling communities may alter the future landscape of downstream igapó forests.

title: Violence, health and ailment of bodies in the parish of Vila Rica, eighteenth century

description: Abstract Studies into violence in the eighteenth century tend to address questions related to justice and criminality, but not health. The aim of this study is to understand how, in eighteenth century Minas Gerais, Brazil, bodies were affected by violent acts. The investigation records from the parish of Vila Rica held at the historical archive of the Museu da Inconfidência were investigated. The results showed crimes of different kinds associated with a variety of motives, primarily crimes against the body, with the resulting bodily injuries being caused by sharp or pointed objects/instruments. There were more male victims than female, the head being the principal part of the body affected. Criminal and violent acts, very commonplace in this society, interfered in the health and disease processes of the bodies.

title: Orthodontic management of a non-syndromic patient with concomitant bimaxillary hypohyperdontia: a case report

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Tooth agenesis is one of the most common dental anomalies; however, the concomitant occurrence of opposite dental numerical variation of hypohyperdontia is extremely rare. Objective: To report the successful orthodontic management of a patient with non-syndromic concomitant bilateral agenesis of mandibular canines and two midline inverted supernumerary maxillary teeth. Case report: 21-year-old female patient with a chief complaint of protrusive right maxillary central incisor. The patient was diagnosed with a mild Class II skeletal base, Angle Class III molar relationship and increased overjet associated with hypohyperdontia. Anterior open bite accompanied with tongue-thrusting habit were also observed. Two temporary anchorage devices (TADs) were implanted at the buccal side of the maxillary molar region to control vertical height. Anterior teeth retraction was done after extraction of the maxillary first premolars, to improve the excessive overjet. The treatment mechanics involved lingual brackets system for the maxillary arch and transpalatal arch for anchorage control. Results: The total active treatment period was 35 months. Acceptable occlusion with increased bite force and contact area as well as functional excursion were established without interference, following complex orthodontic treatment with premolar substitution. The resultant occlusion and a satisfactory facial profile were maintained after 29 months of retention. Conclusion: The present case report provides implications regarding the orthodontic treatment of hypohyperdontia-associated substitution for missing teeth as an effective option for improving aesthetic and functional aspects.

title: New Allyldithiocarbimates: Synthesis, Structure and Antifungal Activity against Phakopsora pachyrhizi and Hemileia vastatrix

description: Twelve tetraphenylphosphonium allyldithiocarbimates were synthesized and fully characterized by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The spectroscopic data indicated that the allyldithiocarbimate anions present Z configuration, as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. These new compounds inhibited the germination of Phakopsora pachyrhizi and Hemileia vastatrix at very low doses, with IC50 (concentration to achieve 50% of inhibition of spore germination) values ranging from 0.028 to 0.166 mmol L-1, and IC90 (concentration to achieve 90% of inhibition of spore germination) values varying from 0.156 to 0.528 mmol L-1. Allyldithiocarbimate salts are lead compounds for the development of new antifungals for coffee leaf rust and Asian soybean rust, devastating plant diseases with limited control options.

title: First report of inventory and role of macroinvertebrates and fish in Cautín river (38° S, Araucania region Chile)

description: Abstract The Cautin river is located in the 137 years old Araucania region, Chile (38°S), and is characterized by alterations through human interference due agriculture and towns in its surrounding basin, the presence of salmonids, and by its mixed regime, originated from snow melting in summer and rains in winter. The aim of the present study was to make a review of the inventory and ecological role of the benthic inland water macroinvertebrates of the River Cautin, in order to understand their importance in the ecosystem of the river. The fauna of this river includes a fauna composed of endemic and introduced fish, which has, however, been only poorly studied until now. The literature revealed the presence of abundant populations of Diptera, Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera larval stages, and few crustaceans specifically amphipods and freshwater crabs along the river’s course. Many of these macroinvertebrates are prey for both introduced salmonids and native fishes. Similar results have been reported for other southern Argentinean and Chilean Patagonian rivers.

title: Should Doctors Know Their Patients’ Attachment Style? A Psychological Perspective and its Impact on Cardiac Surgery Outcomes

description: Abstract Objective: To increase our understanding of the psychological attachment styles in order to develop a preventative strategy that could potentially improve patients’ perioperative outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed utilizing major electronic databases. The search was done from inception to January 2019. All of the relevant papers have been extracted and critically appraised in this review. Results: Understanding the psychological aspects of patients is crucial for a satisfactory postoperative outcome. Depression and anxiety have been shown to increase both mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, independently of medical factors, although the behavioural and biological mechanisms are poorly understood. Psychosocial assessment is an important part of the pre-transplant evaluation process. The majority of individuals undergoing a transplant have significant psychosocial problems and can either be deferred or denied the transplant until these psychosocial issues are approached and managed. Psychological distress has been shown to affect long-term prognosis of cardiac patients and as a result, it should be addressed during follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors due to cardiac cause. Several studies have considered different approaches and analyses of different psychological attachments, and the understanding of such parameters perioperatively could possibly minimise perioperatively complications. Conclusion: Since psychological distress affects long-term prognosis of cardiac surgery patients, it should be addressed during follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors due to cardiac cause.

title: Molecular identification of Mazama species (Cervidae: Artiodactyla) from natural history collections

description: Abstract Natural history museum collections constitute an invaluable patrimony of biological diversity for analysing the taxa distribution and evolution. However, it is very common to discover taxonomic misidentification in museum collections based on incorrect data. The aim of this research was to identify brocket deer species (Mazama genus) using molecular markers. We collected 199 samples, performed DNA extraction and species identification using a specific mitochondrial marker based on a fragment of cytochrome b (Cytb) for Neotropical deer. We achieved the amplification and sequencing of 77 specimens and verified that 26% of the skulls were wrongly identified. Moreover, in the museum collections 57% of the specimens were only identified as Mazama sp, and we were able to identify them by molecular methods to the species level. Our findings clearly demonstrate the importance of integrating molecular analyses to identify Mazama species, since using only external morphology can result in a high probability of errors. We recommend the selection of non-convergent morphological characters, which together with the use of DNA collected from museum specimens should contribute to more accurate taxonomic identifications.

title: Congenital Supravalvar Mitral Ring - A Case Report

description: Abstract Congenital mitral valve stenosis is a rare and severe disease, usually associated with other heart defects. The appropriate intervention depends on the site and mechanism of valvular obstruction and the aim is to avoid or delay valve replacement since it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Early single-stage complete repair is associated with better prognosis. We report the case of a 20-month-old child with a supravalvar mitral ring combined with a ventricular septal defect; pulmonary arterial systolic pressure before the surgery was 79 mmHg. The patient underwent a successful surgical repair with good clinical resolution.

title: Effects of myocardial infarction and an intensive exercise bout on kinetic of lactate, and LDH-B levels in spontaneously hypertensive rats

description: Abstract Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the kinetics of lactate and lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH-B) protein levels as well as the maximum effort capacity of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) with experimental acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: thirty-two SHRs were divided into (n=8/group): S (sham), SE (sham+exercise), I (AMI), and IE (AMI+exercise). A maximum exercise test (treadmill) was evaluated before AMI or sham surgery. Echocardiography was performed 48h after the surgery. Lactacidemia was assessed at rest and during an intense exercise bout (48h after echocardiography). A two-way ANOVA followed by the post-hoc (Bonferroni) test was used, p&lt;0.05. Results: In the end, the heart was removed for analysis of LDH-B. AMI resulted in lower cardiac output (S vs I: ∆51.3%, p&lt;0.001), ejection fraction (S vs I: ∆60.5%, p&lt;0.001) and shortening fraction (S vs I: ∆72.4%, p&lt;0.001). The IE showed a reduction in exercise capacity when compared with pre-AMI values (1.50±0.1 vs 1.38±0.2 km/h; p=0.030) but not when compared with SE (1.41±0.3 vs 1.38±0.2 km/h; p=0.208). During the exhaustion exercise session, IE group showed lower lactacidemia at 12 min (∆9.7%, p=0.042) and 18 min (∆8.3%, p=0.038). No differences were observed in the protein level of LDH-B among the groups (p=0.573). However, when the AMI factor was considered alone, LDH-B expression was lower (sham vs AMI rats, p=0.040). Conclusion: LDH-B protein levels in cardiac tissue appear to be associated with AMI only. Furthermore, AMI induced a reduction in exercise capacity but did not affect lactacidemia during the intense exercise bout.
