title: Endovascular treatment of acute gastrointestinal bleeding from a large splenic artery pseudoaneurysm: case report and literature review

description: Abstract Pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery is a rare entity, with little more than 150 cases described in the literature. Pancreatitis is the most common etiology, followed by trauma. In contrast with true aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms are frequently symptomatic, with a 47% risk of rupture and 90% mortality if left untreated. We describe the case of a 48-year-old female patient who suffered a gastrointestinal hemorrhage associated with acute-on-chronic pancreatitis. During workup, endoscopy revealed signs of recent bleeding and magnetic resonance angiography of the abdomen showed a large pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery. The patient underwent endovascular treatment with microcoil embolization and no further bleeding episodes occurred. Endovascular treatment is now an effective option with low morbidity and mortality and success rates in the range of 79-100%, making it a viable technique for patients with active abdominal inflammation. We conducted a review of endovascular techniques and embolization agents used to treat this pathology.

title: Brazil and Argentina: interaction in the virtual world and education (initial and continuing) of Spanish teachers

description: ABSTRACT This article presents a research which, through the combination of initial and continuing education, aims at evaluating if the interaction, mediated by digital genres in a Virtual Learning Environment, can result in the mobilization of discursive types that indicate the learning of a proposed content. In order to generate data, there was an intervention of formative character, which happened by means of an online course - via Moodle Platform - whose participants were sixteen Brazilians in continuing education, who teach the Spanish Language in public schools belonging to the regional nucleus of the city of Apucarana, and sixteen Argentinians from Córdoba National University (UNC) in initial education. The data generated were analyzed taking into consideration the genres as psychological instruments of mediation (SCHNEUWLY, 2010) and the interaction responsible for fostering learning (VIGOTSKI, 1994; 2002). The results indicate that interaction, both among tutor/participants and participant/participants, mediated by the virtual forum, and associated to the other resources available at Moodle, can lead to the learning of the proposed content.

title: Endovascular treatment of traumatic subclavian arteriovenous fistula: case report

description: Abstract A 47-year-old male police officer presented at an outpatients consulting room complaining of exertional dyspnea and swelling and pain in the right arm. He had suffered a perforating gunshot wound of the right infraclavicular region 7 months previously. A chest tomography showed considerable dilatation of the subclavian and cervical veins and veins of the right upper limb, with no clear point of arteriovenous communication. His symptoms exacerbated and he was admitted to hospital before the date scheduled for treatment. He underwent endovascular treatment with an 8x100 mm Fluency covered stent that was placed in the right subclavian artery using the through-and-through technique. Control angiography showed that the fistulous defect had been completely sealed. There was significant relief of the symptoms on the first day after the operation. Traumatic lesions of the subclavian artery are rare, but can be associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Penetrating trauma is the main cause and arteriovenous fistulas should be ruled out when evaluating penetrating injuries in vascular territories.

title: Design Equations for Spiral and Scalable Cross Inductors on 0.35 μm CMOS Technology

description: Abstract This paper presents a set of design equations for spiral and new scalable cross inductors in CMOS 0.35 μm technology, relating electrical parameters of the inductor's equivalent circuit as functions of its geometric dimensions. The procedure used to derive the design equations is described and involves electromagnetic simulation of inductors with different geometric dimensions, extraction of values for equivalent circuit model elements for each inductor and the use of multivariate regression analysis applied to generalized linear models (GLM) based on Design of Experiments (DoE). A nine element π-type equivalent electrical circuit was used for the inductors, where all element values are constants, allowing simulation on SPICE-like software. Results from the models obtained for both spiral and scalable cross inductors presented closely match to the simulated results.

title: Experimental furcal perforation treated with mineral trioxide aggregate plus selenium: immune response

description: Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of cytokines in response to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plus selenium in germ-free mice with experimental furcal perforation. The first left maxillary molar was opened, and the furcal area was perforated and treated with post-MTA-Se (experimental group). The same surgical intervention was performed for the maxillary right first molar, which was treated with MTA (control group). Fifteen mice were sacrificed 7, 14, and 21 days after furcal perforation, and periapical tissue samples were collected. The mRNA expression levels of the cytokines TGF-β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, HPRT, IL-10, IL-4, RANK, RANKL, IL-1, and IL-17 were assessed by using real-time polymerase chain reaction. In the experimental group, at 21-days post-MTA-Se sealing, the mRNA levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were upregulated compared with those in the control group (p &lt; 0.05). Futher assessment revealed basal mRNA expression levels of IL-1α, IFN-γ, RANK, RANKL, IL-17A, IL-4, and TGF-β, over long experimental times, in both the experimental and control groups (p &gt; 0.05). In conclusion, MTA+Se sealing favoured increased expression of IL-10 and TNF-α at later time points (day 21).

title: Urban green spaces and the influence on vehicular traffic noise control

description: Abstract In this paper, we explore a statistical relationship between green areas and traffic-related vehicle noise. A medium-sized Brazilian city was selected as the sampling area. This area was divided into 25 subareas and for each subarea a group of descriptors was developed. The parameters considered were the areas occupied by green spaces and the noise pollution index generated by vehicular traffic during day and night periods. The green areas were quantified by digital processing of satellite images. The vehicular traffic noise was measured directly at the site and analysed by the noise pollution index (Lnp), the equivalent sound level (LAeq) and the day/night sound level (Ldn). In order to establish the statistical relationship between noise descriptors and green areas, Pearson's linear correlation coefficient (r) was used. Two analysis types were developed: a generalised one, including the 25 subareas; and a specific one, classifying the subareas into clusters. The first analysis indicated a trend to a medium negative correlation between green areas and noise pollution day index (Lnpd), noise pollution night index (Lnpn) and Ldn (r= -0.577, -0.484, -0.373). In the second analysis, the subarea cluster 3 is considered, which includes areas with clinics and educational institutions. This correlation was classified as high negative (r= -0.729, -0.721, -0.541). The results show indexes with high negative correlation, statistically meaning that there is an inverse proportional relationship between green areas and noise pollution.

title: Agenesis of the internal carotid artery

description: Abstract Agenesis of the internal carotid artery is a rare anomaly. It is usually asymptomatic because of the presence of anastomoses, but it can be associated with complications, especially when there is evidence of other anatomical abnormalities or severe atherosclerotic disease. We report the case of a 63-year-old female patient with hypertension and diabetes and a history of intracranial aneurysm clipping. Doppler ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography of the carotid and vertebral arteries showed unilateral agenesis of the left internal carotid artery. This report aims to highlight the importance of suspecting vascular malformations during investigation of neurological conditions. Internal carotid agenesis has a significant association with intracranial aneurysms and their early detection can spare the patient serious complications.

title: Systematics of Clupeiformes and testing for ecological limits on species richness in a trans-marine/freshwater clade

description: ABSTRACT Clupeiformes (herring, sardines, shad, anchovies and allies) are a globally distributed clade with nearly 400 marine, freshwater, and diadromous species. Although best known as filter feeding fishes that form large schools, this group occupies a diverse array of trophic guilds and habitats. Theory suggests that species richness in clades is modulated by ecological limits, which results in diversity-dependent clade growth, a pattern that most clades exhibit. As a trans-marine/freshwater clade that has undergone repeated transitions between marine and freshwaters, Clupeiformes are an excellent system for investigating the interplay between ecological diversity and macroevolutionary dynamics. In this study we review the systematics of Clupeiformes and explore discordance in phylogenetic relationships and divergence times between mitochondrial and nuclear loci. We then use comparative methods to test whether ecological limits regulate diversity in Clupeiformes. We find discordance in phylogenetic relationships at various taxonomic scales, but also considerable agreement between genomes. Our results suggest that trans-marine/freshwater clades are able to circumvent ecological limits on clade growth at regional, but not on local scales. Our study demonstrates that phylogenies are a critical link between ecology and macroevolutionary dynamics, and suggests habitat transitions can play a key role in shaping diversity patterns, particularly in the neotropics.

title: Effect of potassium sources on potato tuber yield and chip quality

description: ABSTRACT Many potato producers for fry industry changed from the use of potassium chloride to potassium sulfate, as there is a concept that the use of this source improves tuber quality. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of these two potassium sources on yield, specific gravity and chip color of potato chipping cultivars. The experiment was carried out on a Dystrophic Red Latosol, in Canoinhas, Brazil, in spring season 2016. Treatments consisted of two potato cultivars, BRSIPR Bel and Atlantic, and two sources of potassium, chloride and sulfate, applied in the furrow at the planting time, in rates based on soil analysis. Experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split-plot arrangement with four replications. Main plots were cultivars and subplots potassium sources. 100 days after planting each sub-plot was evaluated for yield, specific gravity and chip color. There was no significant effect of potassium source on yield components, specific gravity and chip color of BRSIPR Bel and Atlantic.
