title: Topical mitomycin in endoscopic-assisted probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in older children

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: Mitomycin C has been used in ophthalmic surgery to mitigate postoperative scarring. However, the outcomes of endoscopic-assisted probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction with adjunctive mitomycin C in children remain unknown. Our study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive application of mitomycin C after endoscopic-assisted probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review performed in a tertiary eye care hospital involving children with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, who underwent endoscopic-assisted probing from October 2013 to August 2015. We compared children who underwent endoscopic-assisted probing with mitomycin C (mitomycin C group) versus others who underwent endoscopic-assisted probing without mitomycin C (endoscopic-assisted probing group). The mitomycin C group received 0.2 mg/ml within 4 min to the nasolacrimal duct ostium using a cotton tip applicator immediately after probing. Probing was considered successful when patient complaints of tearing were reduced or the results of the dye disappearance test were normal. Demographic data, clinical features, and intraoperative and postoperative variables were correlated to the success rate. Results: The study sample comprised 68 lacrimal vies. The majority of children had bilateral obstruction and no previous history of probing. The mean age of the patients was approximately 4 years. Most obstructions were considered complex. The success rates were high in both groups (p&gt;0.05). There were no adverse events related to the use of mitomycin C (p&gt;0.05). Conclusions: Although mitomycin C has no adverse effects when applied to the opening of the nasolacrimal duct, its use after lacrimal probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction does not improve the chance of success.

title: The photograph of emptiness – on Haruo Ohara

description: Abstract This article focuses on the Japanese-Brazilian photographer Haruo Ohara, little known among us, and who distinguishes himself from other photographers for his daring aesthetics that tends towards an emptiness: it captures the presence of things and not their sense. His intense photographic production is strangely held in parallel to his activity as a farmer. Ohara creates moments of “empty spaces” of happenings, which attest to a state of pure contemplation, in which the photographer gives the viewer simply the poetry of forms. Ohara’s style tends, by hypothesis, to that principle of zen naturalness which distinguishes the traditional Japanese art: a nothing especial which refers to a state of things expressed in its naturalness. We here aim to embark on this particular case.

title: Unintentional injection of a dexamethasone implant into the crystalline lens: a case report

description: ABSTRACT The intravitreal dexamethasone implant is a sustained-release anti-inflammatory drug system that releases 0.7 mg of dexamethasone into the vitreous cavity. The following case report describes a rare complication: accidental injection of the dexamethasone implant into the crystalline lens. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed with central retina vein occlusion and cystoid macular edema. Initial tSreatment included three monthly intravitreal doses of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment, which was not successful. Treatment was then modified to an intravitreal dexamethasone implant. Ten weeks later, the implant was observed in the posterior cortex of the crystalline lens. Because no improvement had occurred, the patient underwent phacoemulsification surgery, during which part of the lens migrated into the vitreous cavity. Therefore, 23-gauge pars plana complete vitrectomy was performed with trans-surgical administration of intravitreal aflibercept. Crystalline lens injury due to an intravitreal dexamethasone implant is a rare complication and typically results from the injection procedure. Immediate surgical or conservative approaches should be considered on an individual basis.

title: Mass Cytometric and Transcriptomic Profiling of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitions in Human Mammary Cell Lines

description: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) equips breast cancer cells for metastasis and treatment resistance. Inhibition and elimination of EMT-undergoing cells are therefore promising therapy approaches. However, detecting EMT-undergoing cells is challenging due to the intrinsic heterogeneity of cancer cells and the phenotypic diversity of EMT programs. Here, we profiled EMT transition phenotypes in four non-cancerous human mammary epithelial cell lines using a FACS surface marker screen, RNA sequencing, and mass cytometry. EMT was induced in the HMLE and MCF10A cell lines and in the HMLE-Twist-ER and HMLE-Snail-ER cell lines by chronic exposure to TGFβ1 or 4-hydroxytamoxifen, respectively. We observed a spectrum of EMT transition phenotypes in each cell line and the spectrum varied across the time course. Our data provide multiparametric insights at single-cell level into the phenotypic diversity of EMT at different time points and in four human cellular models. These insights are valuable to better understand the complexity of EMT, to compare EMT transitions between the cellular models used herein, and for the design of EMT time course experiments.

title: Effects of air pollutants on respiratory diseases using estimated values by mathematical modelling of simulation

description: This study used a mathematical model to associate estimated concentrations of air pollutants with respiratory diseases. Admission data were obtained from Datasus relating to the hospitalization of residents in Taubaté due to respiratory diseases between 08/01/2011 and 07/31/2012. Values of the estimated air pollutant concentrations (CO, PM2.5, O3, NOx) were provided by the CATT-BRAMS (CPTEC-INPE) mathematical model. Daily data regarding temperature and relative humidity were obtained from CPTEC-INPE and used to calculate the apparent temperature, and then used to adjust the multipollutant model. The analysis used the generalized additive model Poisson regression, and lags of zero to five days. Three hundred and fifty two admissions occurred during the period analyzed. Exposures to oxides of nitrogen in the one day lag showed RR=1.046 (95% CI: 1.015-1.079) and at four days lag showed a RR=1.054 (95% CI: 1.054-1.196). The risk of hospitalization increases up to 17% when the concentrations of oxides of nitrogen increase by the amount of 3µg/m3. The use of estimated data by mathematical model identified an association between exposure to air pollutants and hospitalization due to respiratory diseases, validating the use of this model in cities where there are no air pollutant measuring stations.

title: Photosynthesis and Growth of Copaiba Seedlings Subjected to Soil Flooding

description: ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of soil flooding on photosynthesis, growth, and biomass partitioning of young plants of copaiba (Copaifera lucens Dwyer, Fabaceae ) to investigate the possibility of using this species in restoration projects of riparian forests. Based on our results, we concluded that young plants of C. lucens are able to tolerate soil flooding for a period of approximately one month, despite significant decreases in the growth rate of roots, stomatal conductance to water vapor, and the net photosynthetic rate. These results indicate the possibility of including C. lucens in restoration programs for degraded riparian forests in regions where this species naturally occurs.

title: Addition of green banana biomass as partial substitute for fat and encapsulated Lactobacillus acidophilus in requeijão cremoso processed cheese

description: Abstract This study evaluated the effects of the addition of encapsulated Lactobacillus acidophilus and green banana biomass on the characteristics of requeijão cremoso processed cheese during the storage period of 45 days under refrigeration. The elaborated requeijões cremosos processed cheeses included addition of encapsulated Lactobacillus acidophilus as probiotic source, and green banana biomass as partial fat substitute, in a total of five treatments. Analyses were performed to evaluate probiotic viability, microbiological conditions, centesimal composition (moisture, fat, fat in dry extract, protein, ashes, carbohydrates), water activity, resistant starch, colour, texture, lipid profile and sensory acceptability. The addition of green banana biomass and fat reduction resulted in changes in the centesimal composition of the cheeses, with their moisture indexes increased and protein decreased, the F1 formulation was the only one that can be considered as low fat content and was also the one that presented higher moisture. The yellowish white coloration of the formulations was altered as a function of the composition as well as the texture parameters, F1 and F3 treatments presented the greatest changes. Probiotic viability did not differ between formulations, it only changed over time.

title: The cultural dissemination of garrafadas in Brazil: a parallel between popular medicine and sanitary legislation

description: ABSTRACT Garrafadas, in general, are combinations of medicinal plants conveyed in alcoholic beverages, used for a variety of purposes in popular medicine. The present study presented an overview of the garrafadas, relating them to sanitary legislation in Brazil. For this, an exploratory descriptive research was carried out on garrafadas advertised on the internet, as well as notifications of technical complaints and adverse events with Anvisa (National Agency of Sanitary Inspection). The research has shown that garrafadas are widely spread on the internet. It was concluded that garrafadas are commercialized throughout the Country, without any barriers, being orphaned by specific sanitary legislation, but legitimized by popular culture.

title: On Using Quasi-Newton Algorithms of the Broyden Class for Model-to-Test Correlation

description: ABSTRACT: The correlation of a model with test results is a common task in engineering. Often genetic algorithms or adaptive particle swarm algorithms are used for this task. In this paper another approach is presented using two quasi-Newton algorithms of the class defined by Broyden. A study was conducted with thermal models showing the performance of this approach. Comparing the results to other studies reveals that the approach reduces the number of iterations by several orders of magnitude; typical calculation times for model correlation times are reduced from the order of weeks and months to the order of hours and days.

title: Doctor-patient relationship in consultation reports sent to the Regional Medicine Council

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate, in the context of bioethics, the frequency and characteristics of the opinion-consultations of the Conselho Regional de Medicina (Regional Medicine Council) of the state of São Paulo concerning the doctor-patient relationship. The sample was based on the opinion-consultations published on the Regional Council website relating to the descriptors “doctor-patient relationship”, “bioethics – bioethic – bioethical” and “medical ethics”. The total number of opinion-consultations identified was 5,012, of which 2,717 (54.2%) were related to the descriptor “medical ethics”, 111 (2.21%) were related to the descriptors “bioethics – bioethic – bioethical” and 163 (3.25%) were related to the descriptor “doctor-patient relationship”. It was concluded that the frequency of opinion-consultations related to bioethics and the doctor-patient relationship is relatively small when compared to thenumber of opinion-consultations related to medical ethics, and that there is a predominance of deontological and administrative aspects in the opinion-consultations focused on the doctor-patient relationship, in comparison with bioethic aspects. In addition, the opinion-consultations and publications of this Regional Council influenced Conselho Federal de Medicina (Federal Council of Medicine) resolutions and the updating of the Code of Medical Ethics.
