title: Raw data from the quantification of interneuron density in retrosplenial cortex layers of control (air-exposed) and ethanol (EtOH)-exposed mice at the indicated postnatal days

description: It has been previously shown that 40% of murine cortical interneurons are eliminated via apoptosis during the first two weeks of postnatal development .  We studied whether this process is affected by alcohol exposure using a mouse model of third trimester alcohol exposure.  We used transgenic mice that express the Venus fluorescent protein in GABAergic interneurons under the control of the vesicular GABA transporter promoter (VGAT-Venus mice).  Mice were exposed to air (controls) or ethanol for 4 hr/day on postnatal days 4 to 9 using vapor inhalation chambers. Transcardial perfusions were performed under anesthesia at postnatal days 5, 7, 10 and 30.  Cryostat-prepared floating sections were stained with the fluorescent DNA stain, 4’6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).  Two investigators (Megan Barber and Casey McDonald) independently quantified the density of Venus-positive GABAergic interneurons in layers I, II-IV and V of the retrosplenial cortex, which is part of the limbic memory system, and is sensitive to ethanol-induced apoptosis during the first postnatal week.  Four randomly selected parasagittal brain slices (i.e., sections) per mouse were analyzed.   Male and female mice are identified by different symbols.  The tables shows the animal identification information at the different postnatal days.  For example, the data from air-exposed postnatal day 5 pups is from 1 female and 1 male pup from litter V313, 1 male pup from litter V317, and 1 male pup from litter V320.  When possible, we tested pups from the same litter at different ages (e.g., V313 air-exposed pups were tested at postnatal days 5, 7, 10 and 27).  The excel file included here has several tabs (sheets) as follows:

1. Raw data collected by investigator Megan Barber 
2. Average interneuron counts and area in micrometer square from Megan Barber data
3. Interneuron density (per micrometer square) from Megan Barber data
4. Raw data collected by investigator Casey McDonald 
5. Average interneuron counts and area in micrometer square from Casey McDonald  data
6. Interneuron density (per micrometer square) from Casey McDonald data
7.  Interneuron density (per millimeter square) from the average of Megan Barber and Casey McDonald data

title: Structural Behavior of Reinforced Hybrid Concrete Columns under Biaxial Loading

description: Abstract The study aims to investigate the behaviour of reinforced hybrid concrete columns consisted of two fully-bonded concretes subjected to biaxial loading. Experimental tests were conducted on 5 square columns of 200mm side dimensions. Two columns were cast from one type of concrete but with varied strength. The other three specimens were cast by hybrid concrete with different hybrid’s ratios. The study also comprised the derivation of an analytical model, simulating the behaviour of the tested column by numerical models, and statistical evaluation. Whereas a computer program was constructed to evaluate the ultimate strength of hybrid columns and finite element models were executed for the numerical analysis. Both results were compared with the experimental outcomes and good agreement was observed. The results revealed an increase in the ultimate load of hybrid columns by 33.5% as compared with conventional columns. Also, the ultimate load increased by 38% with decreasing the hybrid’s ratio to 0.16. It was concluded that hybrid columns with small hybrid’s ratios sustain higher loads, moments and exhibited fewer axial strains.

title: Treatment strategy for bilateral severe subepithelial fibrosis after photorefractive keratectomy enhancement

description: ABSTRACT A 27-year-old healthy man with a history of bilateral photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) enhancement after femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) presented with decreased uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) of 20/125 in the right eye (OD) and 20/300 in the left eye (OS) six months after PRK. Examination revealed bilateral dense subepithelial opacities. Both eyes (OU) were treated with superficial keratectomy combined with phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) and adjunctive application of mitomycin C 0.02%. At three months follow up UDVA was 20/30 OD and 20/25 OS. Superficial keratectomy combined with PTK seems to be a safe and efficient technique for treatment of dense subepithelial scar formation following PRK enhancement after LASIK.

title: Evaluation of salivary protein patterns among a rural population exposed and non-exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water in areas of Tucumán (Argentina): a pilot study

description: Abstract Arsenic contamination in the environment and groundwater is a major global public health problem. Several researchers suggest that the toxicity of arsenic could be related to oral cancer development, usually resulting from potentially malignant lesions. During pathological processes, salivary proteins suffer modifications, which could lead to the discovery of new biomarkers. Objective To analyze the protein profile in human saliva samples from a rural population exposed to high levels of arsenic in drinking water and its association with potentially malignant lesions. Methodology This observational, analytic and cross-sectional design included 121 patients from the state of Graneros (Tucumán, Argentina). Arsenic concentration in drinking water was determined and, according to the values obtained, individuals were divided into 2 groups: exposed group and non-exposed group. Saliva samples were obtained, and total protein concentration was measured by Bradford method. Finally, Laemmli SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was conducted to obtain the protein profile. Results Total protein concentration in saliva was lower in the exposed group than in the non-exposed group. Average areas of 20 and 42 KDa bands were significantly lower in exposed group than non-exposed group. Conclusion Chronic intake of high arsenic concentrations in drinking water produces changes in the salivary protein profile, which is associated with the presence of potentially malignant lesions.

title: Inspection of infant motor development: importance of the insertion of a physical therapist in childcare

description: Abstract Introduction: The Childcare Program aims at the health promotion, prevention and early diagnosis of diseases and recovery from diseases in childhood through programmed monitoring of the child's growth and development. A physical therapist can contribute to the early identification of neuropsychomotor developmental disorders. Objective: To characterize the motor development (DM) of infants during childcare consultations and to discuss the importance of a professional physical therapist in primary health care teams. Methods: The sample comprised 91 infants aged 0-6 months attended in childcare consultations. Infants with musculoskeletal disorders, neuropathology, and those who cried bitterly, thereby preventing the evaluation were excluded. DM was evaluated using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale. Results: Of the infants aged 0-3 months, 11.76% had atypical DM, 23.62% were at risk for motor delay, and 64.07% had typical DM. Among the infants aged 4-6 months (25.3%), less than half of the children (39.13%) had typical DM. Among the infants aged 4-6 months who did not have typical DM, 40% belonged to the group of premature infants. Conclusion: As the child grows, the motor experiences should be more challenging for DM to constantly evolve. The insertion of a physical therapist in childcare, together with the Family Health Strategy team, can expand care and guarantee the assessment, monitoring, and promotion of early stimulation of childhood DM, in addition to the recognition of its importance in primary care.

title: Evaluation of choroidal thickness and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with unilateral amblyopia: a prospective study

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness (RNFL) of amblyopic and normal fellow eyes. Design: Prospective, cross-sectional, observational case series. Methods: Forty patients age 12 to 41 years (mean 23.73 ± 6.42) with unilateral amblyopia were studied. Among them, 11(28.2%) patients had amblyopia secondary to strabismus and 29(71.8 %) had anisometropic amblyopia. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the peripapillary RNFL thickness of amblyopic and fellow eyes was performed. RNFL thickness measurements were taken from the superior, inferior, nasal and temporal quadrants in the peripapillary region. Also, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) was measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Results: Mean global RNFL thickness of the amblyopic and fellow eyes was 104.48 microns and 102.83 microns, respectively. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p&gt;0.05%). The thicknesses of the superior, inferior, nasal and temporal quadrants of the retinal nerve fiber layer between the amblyopic and normal fellow eyes showed no statistically significant difference (p&gt;0.05%). However, the SFCT of amblyopic eye was 11 or more microns thicker than the fellow eye and this was statistically significant different (p&lt;0.05%). Conclusions: This study demonstrated SFCT in amblyopic eyes was significantly thicker than the normal fellow eyes. The amblyopic process may involve the choroid, but not the prepapillary NFL.

title: THE INFLUENCE OF THE REMOTELY SENSED RAINFALL PRODUCTS’ SPATIAL RESOLUTION TO UNMASK EXTREME EVENTS IN NORTHEAST BRAZIL

description: Abstract: This work presents the influence of the spatial resolution on precipitation samples to understand extreme events in the Agreste region of Pernambuco, northeast of Brazil. Among the materials used, the following sources of precipitation data (1998 to 2019) can be cited: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), and weather stations. In the process of validating the precipitation time series with the weather stations, the TRMM data showed a strong Pearson correlation (0.86 - 0.90) and the CRU data a moderate one (0.71 - 0.76). The relative bias (RB) and the standard deviation of observation ratio (RSR) were also calculated to identify the data’s trend, which showed an overestimation for both sources. The extreme events were identified through the calculation of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), where the TRMM with strong correlation (0.80 - 0.91) obtained a better performance than the CRU data. The TRMM data were selected to understand the extreme drought events in the study area, where the cities with altitudes above 500m obtained maximum values of probability of occurrence with 19%. Conversely, for extreme humidity events, the maximum was 14% for those with altitudes below 200m.

title: Influence of caries activity and number of saliva donors: mineral and microbiological responses in a microcosm biofilm model

description: Abstract Objective this study evaluated the mineral and microbiological response of biofilms originating from different types of saliva inoculum with distinct levels of caries activity. Methodology the biofilms grown over enamel specimens originated from saliva collected from a single donor or five donors with two distinct levels of caries activity (caries-active and caries-free) or from pooling saliva from ten donors (five caries-active and five caries-free). The percentage surface hardness change (%SHC) and microbiological counts served as outcome variables. Results the caries activity of donors did not affect the %SHC values. Inoculum from five donors compared to a single donor showed higher %SHC values (p=0.019). Higher lactobacilli counts were observed when saliva from caries-active donors was used as the inoculum (p=0.017). Pooled saliva from both caries activity levels showed higher mutans streptococci counts (p&lt;0.017). Conclusion Overall, pooled saliva increased the mineral response of the derived biofilms, but all the inoculum conditions formed cariogenic biofilms and caries lesions independently of caries activity.
