title: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated optic neuritis: an update

description: ABSTRACT Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin G (IgG)-associated optic neuritis has been established as a new entity of immune-mediated optic neuropathy. Patients usually present with recurrent optic neuritis, often bilaterally with initially severe vision loss and optic disc edema. However, in contrast to aquaporin 4-IgG-seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, visual recovery tends to be more favorable, with good response to steroid treatment. Another important differential diagnosis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG--associated optic neuritis is multiple sclerosis. Close monitoring for signs of relapse and long-term immunosuppression may be considered to maintain optimal visual function. The diagnosis can be made on the basis of the presence of a specific, usually serological, antibody against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (IgG; cell-based assay), and a demyelinating event (optic neuritis, myelitis, brainstem syndrome, or cortical lesions with seizures). The clinical spectrum of this newly recognized inflammatory demyelinating disease is expanding rapidly. We briefly review the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnostic considerations, and treatment options of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated optic neuritis.

title: Jornada Basin LTER Cross-scale Interactions Study (CSIS) Block 5 meteorological station: Daily average soil volumetric water content data: 2013 - ongoing

description: Daily Average of 30-minute Soil Volumetric Water Content data at 10 cm at CSIS Block-5. Collection of soil water content data at Jornada LTER Cross-scale Interactions Study (CSIS) blocks, New Mexico, supports the environmental monitoring objectives of the Jornada LTER monitoring program that look at plant-soil water dynamics. Soil volumetric water content is measured every 30 minutes at 10 cm depth at 3 locations at each of the 4 plots per block and averaged for the daily value. The locations in each plot are under bare soil, under perennial grass, and under shrub. Volumetric water content, bulk electrical conductivity, soil temperature, and bulk dielectric permittivity are recorded at an automated meteorological station installed at Jornada LTER CSIS Block-5 site. This is an ONGOING dataset.

title: Children's Performances: an invitation to unseeing with children

description: ABSTRACT In this article, we aimed to problematize the image performances carried out by 3-year-old children and how these productions cross the context in which they were created: an Early Childhood Education school and a doctoral research in progress. We discuss the intertwining and reverberations of the conceptions of childhood that direct education and the potencies of the images fraught with childhood that create possibilities of cracking the singular and adult-centric ways of being, feeling, and living. It is concluded that, guided by an ethical, aesthetic and political intention, the children's performances create possibilities and announce the urgency of other postures when inhabiting childhood spaces.

title: Fecal calprotectin levels in acute anterior uveitis in patients with spondyloarthritis

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: This study measured fecal calprotectin levels in a series of patients with anterior uveitis in order to determine whether anterior uveitis patients with associated spondyloarthritis have higher levels of fecal calprotectin than patients with anterior uveitis of other etiologies. A third group of patients with spondyloarthritis without uveitis was also evaluated to understand the role of acute anterior uveitis in increasing fecal calprotectin. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 28 patients were divided into three groups: (a) Group 1, spondyloarthritis and uveitis (n=9); (b) Group 2, spondyloarthritis without uveitis (n=10); and (c) Group 3, uveitis without spondyloarthritis (n=9). The levels of fecal calprotectin were determined. Results: Groups 1 and 2 showed higher median fecal calprotectin levels (101.0 and 93.0 µg/g, respectively) compared with Group 3 (9.0 µg/g) (p=0.02). However, no relationship between fecal calprotectin levels and the presence of uveitis with spondyloarthritis could be demonstrated. Conclusion: Patients with spondyloarthritis with or without acute anterior uveitis have significantly elevated levels of fecal calprotectin. This test may be useful for differentiating spondyloarthrit-associated uveitis from uveitis of other etiologies.

title: Effects of local land use on riparian vegetation, water quality, and in situ toxicity

description: Abstract The conversion of riparian forests into agricultural land results in the loss of water quality and aquatic biota health. The objectives of this study were therefore to determine the proportion of land use with emphasis on the type of vegetation cover; evaluate the limnological parameters and concentration of inorganic elements in the water of the São José stream in the Dourados River Basin, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil; correlate land use with the concentrations of inorganic elements in water; and evaluate the risk to preservation aquatic biota and in situ toxic effect on Astyanax lacustris. We collected samples from the São José Stream in 2020 and evaluated land use with high resolution aerial images. The inorganic elements in water samples were quantified using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. In the surroundings of the São José stream, a reduction in riparian forest was observed with a proportion of only 16.32% of the area and the predominance of agricultural areas with 75.06%. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen (1.510 mg L-1) and P (&gt; 0.235 mg L-1) in the water did not comply with the national legislation. In addition, Al and P indicated risks regarding the conservation of aquatic biota (risk quotient &gt;1). The in situ evaluation of A. lacustris also revealed toxicity in the water. The results indicate environmental imbalance in the São José stream, requiring mitigation measures for its restoration and the sustainable use of its resources.

title: Invisible Library: biblioclasm in the Bosnia and Herzegovina War (1992-1995)

description: ABSTRACT Libraries and books have been a constant target of attacks and destruction throughout history, especially in situations of social and cultural tension and armed conflict. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of biblioclasm, strictly understood as the destruction of books and libraries, is not usually perceived as a purposeful gesture. Understanding this theme is necessary for the protection of the bibliographic heritage both by information professionals and by establishing policies to protect cultural assets. The present study presents some acts of biblioclasm that took place in the context of the Bosnia and Herzegovina War, which occurred between the years of 1992 and 1995. It uses as methodology the analysis of specialized bibliography in the fields of History of Books and Libraries, Memory and Bibliographic Heritage (notably books, journalistic articles and documents), also from Báez (2006), Battles (2003) and Polastron (2013) - which highlights the bibliographic and exploratory nature of the research. It highlights the relationship between memory, bibliographic heritage and identity. It defines the term invisible library as a metaphor for an untouchable collection because of destruction. It dismembers the concept of biblioclasm, understanding it as recurrent and, as demonstrated in this study, purposeful and systematic. It describes the context and reasons for the outbreak of the Bosnia and Herzegovina War. It concludes that the motivations for the practices of biblioclasm that occurred in the War of Bosnia and Herzegovina are four: the erasure of memory, the historical-cultural revival, the ethnic purification and the domination. Biblioclasm is expressed in different ways, in different territories and in multiple temporalities, therefore, understanding its motivations is fundamental to the compression of memory and preservation practices that determine the maintenance and/or destruction of cultural goods over time.

title: Evaluation of the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up effectiveness in patients with dyslipidemia in the secondary health care in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS)

description: Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the main causes of mortality in the world. Dyslipidemia treatment can reduce the number of deaths caused by CVD, by decreasing the lipid profile. Evaluate the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up effectiveness in patients with dyslipidemia, regarding clinical and laboratory aspects. A quasi-experimental trial was performed in 12 months. The studied population was included patients with dyslipidemia who received a pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, which was evaluated according to the Pharmacotherapy Workup developed by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed at the baseline, after a 6 and 12-months period. The statistical analyzes were performed with the normality test of Lilliefors, Cramer Von Misses, and Anderson Darling, later the t-paired test. This study demonstrated that after 6-months of intervention, statistically significant results were verified in the reduction of LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, increase in HDL-cholesterol, and reduction in the blood pressure. It was observed that for high-risk patients, the achievement of targets in the lipid profile and HbA1C occurred only after 12-months, because, this population needs more aggressive targets and expressive interventions. Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up in patients with dyslipidemia reduced lipid blood levels and promoted positive clinical and laboratory outcomes.

title: Early occurrence of primary angle-closure glaucoma in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa and CRB1 gene variations

description: ABSTRACT We describe the case of a 15-year-old girl with decreased visual acuity associated with elevated intraocular pressure in both eyes and angle closure on gonioscopy. She also presented attenuation of retinal vessels and optic disc pallor with large excavation in the left eye. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed an anteriorly positioned ciliary body and absence of ciliary sulcus, confirming the plateau iris configuration. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography revealed a bilateral cystoid macular edema. Genetic screening revealed heterozygous variants of the Crumbs homolog 1 (CRB1) gene (c.2843G&gt;A and c.2506C&gt;A). The patient underwent trabeculectomy for intraocular pressure control and topical treatment for macular edema. This case highlights the importance of performing gonioscopy and evaluating intraocular pressure in patients with a shallow anterior chamber despite young age. In addition, it also shows the importance of genetic screening, when available, in elucidating the diagnosis and providing patients and their families’ information on the patient’s prognosis and possible therapeutic options.

title: Influence of the seasons on the quality and composition of milk from dairy farms in the northern region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

description: Abstract This study aimed to verify the relationship between parameters of physicochemical composition, microbiological quality, and volume of milk delivered to a dairy in the northern region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, at four different times in 2020. For this purpose, the parameters volume, protein, fat, lactose, total solids, somatic cell count (SCC), and standard plate count (SPC) were evaluated. The data were collected in January, April, July, and October from 1634 dairy farms located in the northern region of Rio Grande do Sul. The data were evaluated using Pearson’s correlation, while the means were compared using Tukey’s test, both at a 5% significance. Milk fat and protein contents were higher during fall (4.02 and 3.35%) and winter (3.90 and 3.36%, respectively), contributing to a higher concentration of solids. The microbiological quality of milk, especially SCC, is compromised during the warmer months due to the thermal stress suffered by the animals, challenging their immune system and increasing their susceptibility to diseases. The highest milk SPC in the winter (247.12 CFU/mL) refers to the transfer of contamination from the teat to the tank due to the inefficiency of pre-milking procedures. Therefore, the microbiological quality of milk was variable between the studied periods, and fat and protein contents suffered reductions during the summer, reflecting lower remuneration for quality given the high SCC in the same season.
