title: LMJFC_RNA-seq-heat shock

description: This dataset contains the alignment archives of RNA-seq reads derived from a project aimed to analyze variations in the Leishmania major (Friedlin strain) transcriptome elicited by a moderate heat shock treatment of the promastigote stage. Experimental details of this study were published in the article: Rastrojo, A., Corvo, L., Lombraña, R., Solana, J.C., Aguado, B., and Requena, J.M. (2019). Analysis by RNA-seq of transcriptomic changes elicited by heat shock in Leishmania major. Sci Rep 9, 6919. [PMID: 31061406].
In the mentioned article, RNA-seq reads were mapped on a previous L. major genome assembly, but in 2021 a new genome assembly was attained (Camacho, E., González-de la Fuente, S., Solana, J.C., Rastrojo, A., Carrasco-Ramiro, F., Requena, J.M., and Aguado, B. (2021). Gene annotation and transcriptome delineation on a de novo genome assembly for the reference Leishmania major Friedlin strain. Genes (Basel). 12, 1359. [PMID: 34573340]. Then, this dataset contains the alignment of those RNA-seq data on this new genome assembly.
In brief, the files were generated following these steps. First, RNA-seq reads were downloaded from the PRJEB27042 bioproject at ENA (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB27042?show=reads). Second, RNA-seq reads were quality filtered using the Trimmomatic (v0.36) tool (parameters: quality > 25; length read >60). Finally, selected reads were mapped to the new L. major genome using bowtie2.
There are six bam files (and their auxiliary bam.bai ones) corresponding to the following biological samples: RNA-polyA from promastigotes growing at 26ºC (three replicates, LMJFC_Pro-26-R1 to –R3) and RNA-polyA from promastigotes heat-shocked for two hours at 37ºC (three replicates, LMJFC_Pro-37-R1 to –R3).

title: Elderly outpatient profile and predictors of falls

description: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVESFalls are a serious public health problem and are one of the biggest reasons for hospitalization, morbidity and mortality among elderly people. Moreover, few studies on predictors of falls have been conducted in low and middle income countries. The aim here was to identify elderly outpatient profiles according to sociodemographic, clinical, physical and functional variables and correlate them with occurrences of falls among these subjects.DESIGN AND SETTINGCross-sectional descriptive study forming part of the project “Quality of Life of Frail Elderly People”, carried out in Campinas, Brazil.METHODSThe subjects were 145 elderly individuals (76.3 ± 7.8 years old), of whom 65% were women, who were living in the city of Campinas or nearby and were attended at the geriatric outpatient clinic of a University Hospital. Sociodemographic, clinical, physical and functional data, as well as fall occurrence data, were gathered. Cluster analyses and comparisons between groups were carried out.RESULTSCluster analysis identified two distinct groups related to the study variables, and the determinants for this distinction were: gender, marital status, physical performance, handgrip strength and functional independence. These groups were compared according to occurrences of falls over the last year, and significant differences between them were found.CONCLUSIONSThe results showed that greater occurrences of falls were associated with a profile of elderly people comprising female gender, single status, lower muscle strength and physical performance regarding balance and gait, and lower independence in motor tasks for activities of daily living.

title: Flexible intramedullary nails with traction versus plaster cast for treating femoral shaft fractures in children: comparative retrospective study

description: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVEFemoral fractures are common in children between 2 and 12 years of age, and 75% of the lesions affect the femoral shaft. Traction followed by a plaster cast is universally accepted as conservative treatment. However, in some situations, a surgical approach is recommended. The objective here was to compare treatments for femoral shaft fractures using intramedullary nails (titanium elastic nails, TEN) versus traction and plaster casts in children. The hypothesis was that TEN might provide better treatment, with good clinical results in comparison with plaster casts.DESIGN AND SETTINGThis retrospective comparative study was conducted in a public university hospital.METHODSSixty children with femoral fractures were evaluated; 30 of them underwent surgical treatment with TEN and 30 were treated conservatively using plaster casts. The patients' ages ranged from 5 to 13 years (mean of 9 years).RESULTSThe mean duration of hospitalization was nine days for the surgical group and 20 days for the conservative group. The incidence of overgrowth in the patients treated with TEN was 60.0% and, for those treated conservatively, 13.3%. Partial weight-bearing was allowed after 3.5 weeks in the surgical group and after 9.6 weeks in the conservative group. New hospitalization was required for 90.0% in the surgical group and 16.7% in the conservative group. Patients treated with plaster casts presented higher incidence of complications, such as loss of reduction.CONCLUSIONSThe surgical method presented better results for children.

title: Dataset on Integrated Solid Desiccant Packed Bed - Oscillating Heat Pipe Systems

description: This experimental dataset for Integrated Solid Desiccant Packed Bed-Oscillating Heat Pipe System contains raw temperature data obtained from Fully Packed Bed (FPB), Small Annulus Packed Bed (SAPB), Medium Annulus Packed Bed (MAPB) and Large Annulus Packed Bed (LAPB) all respectively integrated with Helically Coiled Oscillating Heat Pipes (HCOHPs) charged respectively with Ethanol (EOHP), Methanol (MOHP), and Deionized Water (WOHP).  The packed beds were filled with silica gel (Silicon Dioxide/SiO2) of particle size between 3.35mm-4.75mm. The annulus packed beds were in Heggs et al (1994) Z configurations described by their annular dimensions as small (SAPB), medium (MAPB) and large (LAPB) corresponding to diametrical ratios (Do/Di) of 2, 2.35 and 3.08, respectively.
The data are mainly raw temperature data from Omega K-type thermocouples inserted in three designated Mass Transfer Zones (MTZ 1, MTZ 2 and MTZ 3), corresponding Walls (Wall 1, Wall 2, and Wall 3), Evaporators (Evap), Condensers (Cond), and Adiabatic Sections (Adiab) of each HCOHP integrated with a packed bed. Each packed bed was integrated with three (3) HCOHPs containing the same working fluid. Each HCOHP had two (2) thermocouples on their adiabatic sections and three (3) thermocouples installed on their evaporators and condensers respectively. The HCOHPs were numbered 1, 2 and 3 and the position of thermocouples on each component were labelled a, b, and c. For instance, the first evaporator would be labelled Evap_1 and where the thermocouple is located can be identified by say Evap_1a indicating the thermocouple is on the first position on the 1st evaporator.  The ambient temperature data are also presented for each integrated system. The inlet and outlet pressures of each packed bed obtained as electrical pulses in Voltage and converted into Pascal (Pa) are captioned as Derived Pressure in Pa. Inlet and outlet air temperature, velocity and relative humidity obtained from Sentry ST732 Hotwire Anemometers and AZ 8829 Temperature and RH% data loggers are on the Inlet and Outlet Data Tabs. The dataset has seven (7) spreadsheets each for a packed bed configuration type integrated with the EOHP, MOHP or WOHP. For instance, for SAPB integrated with the HCOHPs i.e., EOHP, MOHP, and WOHP respectively, the combinations are SAPB-EOHP, SAPB-MOHP and SAPB-WOHP respectively. Each combination is presented on separate Tabs on the spreadsheet with its test run number such as SAPB-EOHP 1, SAPB-MOHP  1 and SAPB-WOHP 1 for test run 1 and SAPB-EOHP 2, SAPB-MOHP 2 and SAPB-WOHP 2 respectively for test run 2. The annulus packed bed configurations integrated with the HCOHPs have data for two test runs presented. Only one test run data is presented for the fully packed bed (FPB) namely FPB-EOHP, FPB-MOHP and FPB-WOHP respectively with respective inlet and outlet conditions data.

title: Potentially inappropriate medications among elderly Brazilian outpatients

description: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVESIn Brazil, few studies have investigated the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) among elderly outpatients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PIMs prescribed for elderly outpatients, identify the PIMs most commonly involved, and investigate whether age, sex and number of medications are related to prescription of such medications.DESIGN AND SETTINGObservational descriptive study developed in the Geriatrics Service of the Central Institute of Hospital das Clínicas (HC), Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (FMUSP), São Paulo, Brazil.METHODSPrescriptions issued to 1,270 elderly patients (≥ 60 years) were gathered from a database. These prescriptions had been written by geriatricians at a tertiary-level university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, between February and May 2008. The prescriptions were divided according to sex and age group (60-69, 70-79 and ≥ 80). The Beers criteria were used to evaluate PIMs.RESULTSMost of the sample comprised women (77%) and the mean age was 80.1 years. The mean prevalence of PIM prescriptions was 26.9%. Female sex and number of medications prescribed were associated with prescription of PIMs. The chance of having a PIM prescription was lower among patients ≥ 70 years.CONCLUSIONThe greater prevalence of PIMs was correlated with female sex. The chance of having a PIM prescription was lower among patients ≥ 70 years and became greater with increasing numbers of medications prescribed (≥ 7).

title: Risk factors for esophageal cancer in a low-incidence area of Brazil

description: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVESEsophageal cancer is the eighth commonest type of cancer worldwide, occupying sixth place in terms of mortality. Smoking and alcohol use are known risk factors for this type of cancer. The aim here was to evaluate the risk factors for esophageal cancer in a low-incidence area.DESIGN AND SETTINGCase-control study in Goiânia, with 99 cases of esophageal cancer and 223 controls.METHODSThe variables were sociodemographic, dietary, occupational and lifestyle data. The sample was analyzed using the chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test and Mantel-Haenszel approach for multivariate analysis. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated with 5% significance and 95% confidence intervals.RESULTSThe risk of esophageal cancer was higher in patients ≥ 55 years (OR = 1.95; P &lt; 0.001). Patients from rural areas were at greater risk of esophageal cancer (OR = 4.9; P &lt; 0.001). Smoking was a risk factor among the cases (OR = 3.8; P &lt; 0.001), as was exposure to woodstoves (OR = 4.42; P &lt; 0.001). The practice of oral sex was not a risk factor (OR = 0.45; P = 0.04). Consumption of apples, pears, vegetables, cruciferous vegetables and fruit juices were protective against esophageal cancer.CONCLUSIONIn a region in which the incidence of esophageal cancer is low, the most significant risk factors were exposure to woodstoves, smoking and living in rural areas.

title: Vitamin E for prevention of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy: a pilot randomized clinical trial

description: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVEOxaliplatin is one of the chemotherapy regimens most used for treating colorectal cancer. One of the main limitations to its use is induction of peripheral neuropathy. Previous studies have shown that vitamin E can reduce the incidence of peripheral neuropathy by 50%. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of vitamin E for prevention of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy.DESIGN AND SETTINGProspective, phase II, randomized pilot study developed at a university hospital in the Greater ABC region.METHODSPatients were randomized five days before starting oxaliplatin treatment, to receive either vitamin E or placebo until the end of the chemotherapy regimen. The outcome was evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3, and specific gradation scales for oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. Patients with colorectal and gastric cancer who had been scheduled to receive oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy were included. Both groups received calcium and magnesium supplementation before and after oxaliplatin infusions.RESULTSEighteen patients were randomized to the vitamin E group and 16 to the placebo group. Cumulative incidence of 83% with peripheral neuropathy grades 1/2 was observed in the vitamin E group, versus 68% in the placebo group (P = 0.45). A trend towards more diarrhea was observed among patients who received vitamin E (55.6% vs. 18.8%; P = 0.06). There were no other significant differences in toxicity between the groups.CONCLUSIONSNo significant decrease in the incidence of acute oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy was demonstrated through vitamin E use.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATIONNCT01523574.
