title: Cecum perforation associated with a calcium polystyrene sulfonate bezoar - a rare entity

description: Abstract Hyperkalemia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders, responsible for a high number of adverse outcomes, including life-threatening arrhythmias. Potassium binders are largely prescribed drugs used for hyperkalemia treatment but unfortunately, there are many adverse events associated with its use, mostly gastrointestinal. Identification of patients at highest risk for the serious complications associated with the current potassium binders, such as colon necrosis and perforation, could prevent fatal outcomes. The authors present a case of a 56-year-old man with secondary diabetes and chronic renal disease that was treated for hyperkalemia with Calcium Polystyrene Sulfonate (CPS). He later presented with acute abdomen due to cecum perforation and underwent ileocecal resection but ultimately died from septic shock a week later. During surgery, a solid white mass was isolated in the lumen of the colon. The mass was identified as a CPS bezoar, a rare drug-mass formed in the gastrointestinal tract that contributed to the perforation. A previous history of partial gastrectomy and vagothomy was identified as a probable risk factor for the CPS bezoar development. Hopefully, the two new potassium binders patiromer and (ZS-9) Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate will help treat such high-risk patients, in the near future.

title: Ericaceae in the central region of the Espinhaço Range, Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: Abstract This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of the Ericaceae family in the central portion of the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais, by presenting data of richness, abundance, geographic distribution, and conservation status of the species. The study area includes the mountains to the north of Serra do Cipó, the Serra do Cabral, and the Diamantina Plateau, regions do not yet have published data for the family. The species survey was accomplished from queries to herbaria collections, to the literature, and in the fieldwork. 27 species of Ericaceae were reported. The flora of the area study is most similar to the Serra do Cipó, although each region presents endemisms. Among the recorded species, two are found in the Official List of Brazilian Flora Species Threatened with Extinction: Gaylussacia oleifolia Dunal and Gaylussacia setosa Kin.-Gouv. The results highlight the high wealth and endemism of the family in the study area and the urgent need for additional research in order to generate the subsidies for the elaboration of conservation strategies that are more comprehensive and effectively protect the Espinhaço biodiversity.

title: Didactic model of the genre written exposition: identification and evaluation of the results implementation on the quality of the texts produce by the students

description: ABSTRACT In this text, partial results from a study will be presented. Said study aimed to analyse and understand how the writing practices implemented by teachers would impact the quality of students’ produced texts. In order to meet the stated issue, a general goal was set: to assess whether a didactic device, the Genre Didactic Model (GDM), implemented in an explicit and intentional way by teachers, could be reflected, and to what extent, on the quality of the students’ produced texts. The study was conducted as part of a training program for the teaching written genres in schools and it involved 14 teachers from the three cycles of compulsory education (in Portugal, basically K1-K9). The results here presented aim to highlight the characteristics of fourth grade students’ production of a written exposition before and after the implementing of the GDM.

title: Implementation of a Multi-Gbit/s and GFDM-based Optical-Wireless 5G Network

description: Abstract We report the implementation of an optical-wireless 5G network based on generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) and multi-Gbit/s communication. Dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator was employed, enabling simultaneously RF signals transport using two 5G candidate bands, namely: 26 GHz band for providing a femtocell with 2 Gbit/s throughput; 700 MHz band for enabling rural access applying a supercell. A vector signal generator provides the broadband 26 GHz signal. The Brazilian GFDM-based 5G transceiver generates the lower-frequency signal, with the advantage of low out-of-band emission. An experimental digital performance analysis illustrates the suitability of the proposed solution to address 5G requirements.

title: Floristic composition and distribution of Orchidaceae in a riparian forest in Rio Grande do Sul state

description: Abstract Riparian forests are known to be a favorable environment for the establishment of Orchidaceae, however, difference in altitudinal gradient and changes in environmental conditions affect species diversity. This study aimed to investigate the composition and distribution of Orchidaceae occurrence in a riparian forest of the river Canhada Funda in Pouso Novo, Rio Grande do Sul. Five sampling points were marked along the stream and the species where sampled by the "Caminhamento" method. With measures of dissimilarity and clustering analysis the floristic similarity between the points was verified and the relation between species richness and altitud was verified by Pearson's linear correlation. Thirty six (36) species and 23 genera were inventoried, being Gomesa (5), Acianthera (4) and Cyclopogon (4) the most representative. The greatest diversity of orchids was observed at elevations below 300 m were vegetation was more preserved. It is believed that the composition and distribution of Orchidaceae in the area was influenced mainly by the altitudinal gradient and the conservation conditions of the riparian forest.

title: Addition of toasted baru nut (Dypteryx alata Vog.) and extruded rice bran to sugar cane candy (“rapadura”)

description: Abstract Different proportions of sugar cane juice, toasted baru nut and extruded rice bran were used in the formulation of sugar cane candies (“rapaduras”), and the effect on color, hardness and proximate composition determined. The best formulation was selected on the basis of composition, hardness and luminosity, and evaluated for sensory acceptance and purchase intent. Simplex design was used to plan the experiment and the limits of the different ingredients. Sugar cane juice has lower values for ash, protein, lipids and total fiber compared to the other ingredients, but it is the ingredient that characterizes the product. The added ingredients affect the physical and chemical characteristics of the “rapaduras”. The hardness of the experimental “rapaduras” varied between 20 and 26.1 N, similar to the traditional product, while protein (from 3.28 to 5.9 g 100 g-1), lipids (from 3.87 to 7.67 g 100 g-1), and total dietary fiber (1.47 to 2.67 g 100 g-1), were above the values of the traditional product. Addition of 15 g 100 g -1of extruded rice bran and 10 g 100 g-1of toasted baru nut to 75 g 100 g -1 of sugar cane juice delivered a product with low microbiological risk and good sensory acceptance. The developed product with extruded rice bran and toasted baru nut has good technological potential, allied with sensory and nutritional advantages, and it can be an alternative to add value to rice by-product and nuts from areas of forest conservation.

title: Preservation of sweet red pepper paste quality: effect of packing material, ozone gas and protective agent use

description: Abstract Unlike conventional methods, sweet red pepper paste was produced by various techniques in assistance of various starter cultures. Products were stored at 37 °C for 60 days. Salinity, acidity, color change, invert sugar, brown pigment formation parameters were determined during storage period. Microbiological, statistical and sensory evaluation methods were also applied and the effects of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) at different filling temperatures with and without protective agents were investigated. E. coli was not detected at any production stage. Samples treated with protective agents at higher temperature was found to be best with respect to panelists’ flavor and color quality scores in PP support as a result of deterioration has occurred in samples with PET material. The results provide a basis for increasing active components and functional activity in pepper paste production by controlling packing material and ozone gas release considering chemical and sensory properties.

title: Wheat flour and gum cordia composite system: pasting, rheology and texture studies

description: Abstract Native and acetylated freeze-dried gum cordia (GC) was replaced at 0, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w) of wheat flour, and their pasting and rheological properties were studied. The pasting data indicated a significant (p≤0.05) increase in peak and final viscosities of blends: especially at higher GC concentrations. The shearing profiles signified an increase in shear stress as a function of shear rate confirming a pseudoplastic behavior of the blends (n&lt;1). The consistency coefficient (K) and flow behavior index (n) were estimated using a power law model where higher ‘K’ values strengthened the pasting data. The activation energies (Ea) calculated by Arrhenius equation were observed between 5.7-7.5 and 5.9-8.4 kJ/mol for native and acetylated gels, respectively. The highest hardness was observed for 10% acetylated GC gel while the same concentration of native GC depicted opposite trend.

title: Biofilm formation by Vibrio parahaemolyticus on different surfaces and its resistance to sodium hypochlorite

description: ABSTRACT: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important pathogen for both fish industry and consumers. It forms biofilm which makes it difficult to eliminate this microorganism using sanitizers. This study aimed to assess biofilm formation on different surfaces and effect of biofilm on resistance to sanitizers. Eight isolates of biofilm-forming V. parahaemolyticus were tested for the ability to form biofilms on a number of surfaces including high density polyethylene, stainless steel, glass, exoskeleton of Farfantepenaeus paulensis (Pink Shrimp), and operculum of Micropogonias furnieri (Whitemouth Croaker). Efficiency of sanitizer sodium hypochlorite against the bacteria was evaluated in the biofilms formed on the surface of the materials used; out the eight strains analyzed four formed biofilm on different surfaces. The present study shows that there are variations between surfaces in terms of biofilm formation, with more than one bacterial strain being able to form biofilm on the surface of the operculum of M. furnieri and on high density polyethylene as well. One isolate formed biofilm on glass, and one isolate formed biofilm on stainless steel. Sanitizers reduced biofilm formation on all surfaces. Based on our findings, we concluded that V. parahaemolyticus isolates have different ability to form biofilm on different surfaces. No isolates formed biofilm on shrimp shells. Results of this study also showed that sodium hypochlorite eat a concentration of 20 parts per million (20ppm) of Cl2, albeit not able to eliminate bacteria reported in biofilms, is still capable of reducing bacterial populations.
