title: Glycosuria in primary glomerulopathies: prevalence and prognostic significance

description: Abstract Introduction: Tubular damage is common in glomerular diseases (GD). Glycosuria is a marker of tubular dysfunction and may be used to detect tubular lesion and CKD progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and prognostic value of glycosuria at the time of diagnosis in primary glomerulopathies (PG). Methods: We conducted a 24-month retrospective study in patients diagnosed with PG in our center between 2009 and 2020. We excluded diabetic patients, use of SGLT2 inhibitors, transplant patients, and secondary GD. Patients were divided in two groups according to their glycosuria status at diagnosis. Results: We studied 115 patients. Global prevalence of glycosuria was 10% (n=11) and membranous nephropathy (MN) had the highest prevalence (n=5, 17.9%). We found that patients with glycosuria had higher serum creatinine (2.4 vs. 1.2 mg/dL, p=0.030), higher albuminuria (4.8 vs. 1.9 g/g, p=0.004), and lower serum albumin (2.3 vs. 3.2 g/dL, p=0.021). We did not find association with histological prognostic factors. At the end of follow-up, patients with glycosuria had higher prevalence of the composite outcome of stage 5D CKD or 50% increase in basal SCr (45.5% vs. 17.3%, p=0.037). In patients with MN, results were similar but we were able to find an association of glycosuria with more severe interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (25.0 vs. 0.0 %, p=0.032). Conclusion: Ten percent of our patients with PG have glycosuria. Glycosuria at the time of diagnosis was associated with more severe clinical presentation and worst renal outcome. The association with higher albuminuria suggests that tubular function has an impact on the severity and outcomes of PG.

title: Prevalence of central venous catheter salvage in newborn with staphylococcal bloodstream infection

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: to establish the prevalence of salvage of central venous catheters in newborns with bloodstream infection caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci. Methods: retrospective cross-sectional study with 136 newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between 2011 and 2017. The total of 143 infection events undergoing antibiotic therapy were evaluated. Results: among the 143 infection events, 39 catheters in which antibiotic therapy was used were saved and in 69 cases, the device was removed. Positive central blood culture and single lumen catheter were factors associated with salvage failure. The probability of salvage decreased with infections diagnosed from 15 days of using the catheter. Negative blood culture raised the chance of salvage by fourfold. Conclusions: the use of antibiotic therapy in the treatment of infections resulted in a low prevalence of salvage of the central venous catheter. The probability of salvage was associated with variables of the device.

title: Biomass and vegetation index by remote sensing in different caatinga forest areas

description: ABSTRACT: Continued unsustainable exploitation of natural resources promotes environmental degradation and threatens the preservation of dry forests around the world. This situation exposes the fragility and the necessity to study landscape transformations. In addition, it is necessary to consider the biomass quantity and to establish strategies to monitor natural and anthropic disturbances. Thus, this research analyzed the relationship between vegetation index and the estimated biomass using allometric equations in different Brazilian caatinga forest areas from satellite images. This procedure is performed by estimating the biomass from 9 dry tropical forest fragments using allometric equations. Area delimitations were obtained from the Embrapa collection of dendrometric data collected in the period between 2011 and 2012. Spectral variables were obtained from the orthorectified images of the RapidEye satellite. The aboveground biomass ranged from 6.88 to 123.82 Mg.ha-1. SAVI values were L = 1 and L = 0.5, while NDVI and EVI ranged from 0.1835 to 0.4294, 0.2197 to 0.5019, 0.3622 to 0.7584, and 0.0987 to 0.3169, respectively. Relationships among the estimated biomass and the vegetation indexes were moderate, with correlation coefficients (Rs) varying between 0.64 and 0.58. The best adjusted equation was the SAVI equation, for which the coefficient of determination was R² = 0.50, R2aj = 0.49, RMSE = 17.18 Mg.ha-1 and mean absolute error of prediction (MAE) = 14.07 Mg.ha-1, confirming the importance of the Savi index in estimating the caatinga aboveground biomass.

title: Endoscopic tympanoplasty with inlay cartilage graft in an university hospital

description: Abstract Introduction Tympanoplasty is the surgical procedure aimed at the reconstruction of the tympanic membrane and restoration of the sound conducting mechanism. It can be performed with several types of access and grafts and is considered successful when it achieves complete closure of the tympanic perforation and sound conduction improvement. Objective To describe the prevalence of successful closure of tympanic perforations and auditory results of endoscopic tympanoplasty with an inlay tragus cartilage graft. Methods Retrospective study developed at a tertiary referral hospital. Patients with central tympanic perforations and intact ossicular chains operated with endoscopic tympanoplasty with inlay tragus cartilage graft were included. The neo-tympanum integrity index was evaluated, and the preoperative and postoperative auditory parameters were compared using the paired Student's t-test. Results We identified 83 endoscopic tympanoplasties with inlay cartilage, of which 63 (76 %) had an intact neo-tympanum and 20 (24 %) had residual perforations. The preoperative air-bone gap was, on average, 18 ± 8.9 dBHL, and the postoperative 11 ± 10 dBHL (p = 0.0005), showing reduction in 71 % and complete recovery in 27 %. The mean preoperative speech recognition threshold was 35 ± 13.5 and the postoperative SRT was 27 ± 14.4 (p = 0.0002). The preoperative tritonal mean was 34 ± 14.3 and the postoperative was 24 ± 15 (p = 0.0002). Conclusion In this series, endoscopic tympanoplasties with inlay tragus cartilage graft showed a 76 % prevalence of complete closure of the tympanic perforation, with significant improvement in the auditory parameters.

title: Prognostic importance of harvested lymph node number, metastatic lymph node number, and lymph node ratio in surgically managed laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

description: Abstract Introduction Lymph node metastasis is a well-known prognostic factor for laryngeal carcinoma. However, current nodal staging systems provide limited information regarding prognosis. Additional parameters should be considered to improve prognostic capacity. Objectives To assess the prognostic values of metastatic lymph node number, ipsilateral/contralateral harvested lymph nodes, and lymph node ratio in patients undergoing surgical treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Seventy-four patients diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma primarily managed surgically were included in this study. The patients' pathological and survival data were obtained from their medical records. The effects of harvested lymph nodes and lymph node ratio on disease-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival were analyzed. Results Ipsilateral, contralateral, and bilateral evaluations of harvested lymph nodes showed no significant associations with prognosis. Lymph node ratio was significantly associated with overall survival when evaluated bilaterally. Metastatic lymph node number showed more suitable stratification than TNM classification. Conclusions Metastatic lymph node number and bilateral lymph node ratio parameters should be taken into consideration to improve the prognostic capacity of TNM.

title: Quality controlled dissolved, inorganic nitrate+nitrite concentration data [µmol l<sup>-1</sup>] collected in the Pemba Channel/Indian Ocean (Tanzania) in July 2019

description: A quality-controlled dataset of dissolved, inorganic nitrate+nitrite (NOx) concentrations [µmol l<sup>-1</sup>] collected in the Pemba Channel/Indian Ocean (Tanzania) in July 2019 is presented here. The data were collected by a microfluidic lab-on-chip nutrient sensor (s/n 118) that was integrated into a buoyancy driven Kongsberg M1 Seaglider (s/n sg550, doi.org/10/hgvx). The ocean glider was deployed at varying positions within the Pemba Channel for daily missions on the 2nd-5th and 7th-8th July 2019. The nutrient sensor was set to sample at various time and depth intervals during the glider's deployment. NOx concentration data were collected between the 2nd-5th and 7th-8th July 2019. The location data (latitude, longitude, depth) provided in this dataset originate from the ocean glider data and were derived by linear interpolation onto the nutrient sensor time stamps. These data were collected as part of the Sustainable Oceans, Livelihoods and food Security Through Increased Capacity in Ecosystem research in the Western Indian Ocean (SOLSTICE-WIO) project (Global Challenges Research Fund under NERC grant NE/P021050/1), which aimed to investigate ecosystem health and resilience in the face of climate change in the Western Indian Ocean.

title: CRITICAL, “PERO NO MUCHO”: PROBLEMATIZING THE APPROACH TO IDENTITY ISSUES IN A HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEXTBOOK’S UNIT

description: ABSTRACT In this study we problematize the understanding of what is considered critical by the authors of a first grade of high school textbook approved by a committee for the distribution in Brazil. We also point ways of filling the gaps in said document. In line with a pedagogical approach towards queer literacy (LIN, 2014) and racial critical literacy (FERREIRA, 2015a, 2015b), we claim anti-racist problematizing practices (PENNYCOOK, 2004) must be included in language teachers’ education as well as in learning materials. Thus, our perspective on what is critical wishes to motivate questioning and “queering” (LIN, 2014) naturalized discourses considering relations of access, power, difference, inequality and resistance (PENNYCOOK, 2004). We analyzed the book’s unit named “Who am I?” which focuses on matters of identity, as well as the theoretical framework and guidelines for teachers. Our considerations point to the need for a curriculum that will fill in the gaps in learning materials for schools so teachers may go beyond the suggestions to actually promote anti-racist pedagogical practices, through reflecting about identity processes in an intersectional and decolonial perspective. In this case, and possibly others, the guidelines for teachers in the set do not problematize those aspects, which shows lack of questioning for a transformative agenda.

title: Comparison of two water measurement systems for feedlot beef cattle

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to compare cattle drinking water consumption collected electronically with that of direct human observation using water metres and to analyse whether an automated system compensates due to its greater precision. The study was conducted in the feedlot of Embrapa Pecuaria Sudeste. The reference unit had four pens: two with electronic drinkers and two with water metres. Experiment 1 utilised 52 Nelore steers and Experiment 2 utilised 44 Canchim steers. Nelore fed a conventional diet, the automated system median daily water intake (DWI) was higher than for animals drinking from the water metre, 17.9 L day-1 and 15.6 L day-1. The reverse was observed for animals fed the co-product diet, the automated system median DWI was 18.9 L day-1 and in the water metre pen was 23.0 L day-1. When the Canchim drank from water metres, the median DWI was lower than with the automated system group, 25.9 L day-1 and 27.8 L day-1, respectively. In Experiment 1, there was a statistical difference between the two sets of equipment for both diets. In Experiment 2, the animals were the same breed, had similar weights and were fed the same diet. There was no statistical difference between the equipment in these conditions. The results indicate that the water meter can have the same performance as high technology at a much lower cost. If a more simplified system for measuring water consumption has the same performance as an automated system, this will justify its use with environmental and economic advantages.
