ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to present the modifications to the Modified Three-Dimensional Classification (MTC) and show the results of its use in the classification of radiographic images of the spine of four hundred and four patients who underwent surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Method: MTC was used to classify the radiographic images of the spine of four hundred and four patients who had undergone surgery for AIS. A panoramic X-ray of the spine was performed in the orthostatic position, in the lateral and anterior pos-teroanterior views, neutral and with forced inclination to the right and left. The results of the classification variables and the relevant patient data were collected from the medical records and a biostatistical study was carried out. The MTC is made up of three factors: quantitative, localizing and sagittal. Results: A higher incidence of double curve scoliosis was observed. The main curve predominated in the distal thoracic region. The sagittal plane showed a higher incidence of normal angle. There was a higher incidence of hyperlordosis in females. There was a predominance of hypokyphosis in younger individuals. The results tables show that these predominances occurred with significant differences. Conclusion: The study of the MTC variables applied to the classification of patients undergoing AIS surgery showed a three-dimensional scope, and therefore concludes a truly three-dimensional classification.

Resumo Introdução: A doença renal crônica (DRC) está relacionada à elevada morbimortalidade e perda de qualidade de vida. Igualmente, o hiperparatireoidismo está associado à perda progressiva da função renal, com níveis aumentados de fosfato e diminuição de cálcio, que induzem secreção do paratormônio. Objetivos: Traduzir para língua portuguesa (Brasil), adaptar culturalmente e validar o questionário Parathyroid Symptoms Assessment (PAS), seguindo critérios de confiabilidade e validade em pacientes com DRC e hiperparatireoidismo. Métodos: Estudo metodológico e transversal, realizado no Hospital São Lucas/PUCRS, Porto Alegre, Brasil. O processo de validação do questionário PAS seguiu protocolos de estudos anteriores. Após tradução para o português, aplicou-se a 100 pacientes com hiperparatireoidismo secundário (HPTS) e terciário ou persistente (HPTT). Para dados de validação do PAS, os pacientes responderam ao questionário Short Form Health 36 (SF-36). Critérios de confiabilidade foram avaliados usando coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) e alfa de Cronbach (α-C). A validade foi avaliada pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman entre valores de PAS e SF-36. Resultados: A idade média dos participantes foi 55,6 ± 15,6 anos, 61% eram homens e 68% foram diagnosticados com HPTS. Entre 100 pacientes, 53% realizaram reteste de PAS (CCI = 0,83). A confiabilidade interna por α-C foi 0,86. Observaram-se correlações negativas entre questões do PAS e os domínios físico e mental do SF-36, que variaram de 0,3 a 0,7. Conclusão A versão brasileira do questionário PAS mostrou-se válida e confiável. O questionário PAS pode ser usado para avaliar qualidade de vida em pacientes brasileiros com hiperparatireoidismo que falam português.

Abstract Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is related to high morbidity and mortality and loss of quality of life. Likewise, hyperparathyroidism is associated to progressive loss of renal function, with increased phosphate and decrease calcium levels, which induce the secretion of parathyroid hormone. Objectives: To translate into Portuguese (Brazil), culturally adapt and validate the questionnaire Parathyroid Symptoms Assessment (PAS), following reliability and validity criteria in patients with chronic kidney disease and hyperparathyroidism. Methods: Methodological and cross-sectional study, carried out at São Lucas Hospital/PUCRS, Porto Alegre, Brazil. The PAS questionnaire validation process followed protocols from previous studies. After translating into Portuguese, it was applied to 100 patients with secondary (SHPT) and tertiary or persistent (THPT) hyperparathyroidism. For PAS validation data, patients responded to the Short Form Health 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Reliability criteria were evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha (α-C). Validity was assessed by Spearman’s correlation coefficient between PAS and SF-36 values. Results: Participant’s mean age was 55.6 ± 15.6 years, 61% was male, and 68% was diagnosed with SHPT. Among 100 patients, 53% performed a PAS retest (ICC = 0.83). The internal reliability by α-C was 0.86. Negative correlations were observed between PAS questions and SF-36 physical and mental domains, which ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the PAS questionnaire was found to be valid and reliable. The PAS questionnaire can be used to evaluate quality of life in Brazilian patients with hyperparathyroidism who speak Portuguese.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Artificial Intelligence, developed in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is an extremely useful tool. However, there are activities that cannot be performed by robots, due to their peculiarities. Judging is a predominantly human activity. It is assumed that robots can be useful for moving processes and preparing decisions on simple and repetitive matters. But they are not endowed with a special consciousness of justice. Therefore, they cannot make decisions in complex situations. The historical-deductive method will be used. Law has evolved into an innovative process since the dawn of civilization. Contemporaneously this march resulted in the adoption of new technologies and Artificial Intelligence. However, the conclusion of the research is that only the human judge will be able to judge with justice. To this end, using the deductive method, theoretical research was carried out in the legal-sociological aspect, focusing on the theory of Eduardo Espínola and Eduardo Espínola Filho regarding the need of the judge to pay attention to the evolution of social life, not being able to remain oblivious to the surrounding reality under penalty of being a slave to a theoretical rigorism with disastrous consequences.

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar que a Inteligência Artificial, desenvolvida no contexto da Quarta Revolução Industrial (Revolução 4.0), é ferramenta extremamente útil. Porém, existem atividades que, por suas peculiaridades, não podem ser desempenhadas por robôs. Julgar é uma função predominantemente humana. Parte-se da hipótese de que os Robôs podem ser úteis para movimentar os processos, preparando despachos e decisões sobre matérias simples e repetitivas. Mas não são providos de uma especial consciência de justiça; por isso, não podem proferir decisões em situações complexas. O Direito, desde os primórdios da civilização, evoluiu em um processo aberto e inovador. Essa marcha desaguou, contemporaneamente, na adoção das novas tecnologias e da Inteligência Artificial. Todavia, a conclusão da pesquisa é no sentido de que somente o juiz humano - de carne, osso e cérebro - poderá julgar com justiça. Para tanto, a partir do método dedutivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa teórica na vertente jurídico-sociológica, com foco na teoria de Eduardo Espínola e Eduardo Espínola Filho acerca da necessidade do juiz se atentar para a evolução da vida social, não podendo permanecer alheio à realidade circundante sob pena de ser escravo de um rigorismo teórico de funestas consequências.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A abordagem das cefaleias secundárias na infecção pela SARS-CoV-2 é crucial para um manejo adequado e otimização do cuidado. Esta revisão tem como objetivo sintetizar os dados sobre as características da cefaleia e o impacto das condições pré-existentes de cefaleia sobre esses sintomas na infecção pela SARS-CoV-2. CONTEÚDO: Uma pesquisa sistemática foi realizada em vários bancos de dados, incluindo: Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane Collaboration, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, Embase, Open Grey e Google Scholar, com o objetivo de identificar estudos sobre as características da cefaleia associadas à SARS-CoV-2. A pesquisa se concentrou nos sintomas, nas características, no início, na duração e na resposta ao tratamento da cefaleia durante e após a infecção. Vinte e três estudos atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Aproximadamente 42,1% dos indivíduos com SARS-CoV-2 relataram dores de cabeça, semelhantes a dores de cabeça do tipo tensional e enxaquecas. Essas cefaleias geralmente se manifestavam nos primeiros três dias de infecção e podiam persistir por até quatro meses. Os dados sugerem que a ativação trigeminovascular e os mediadores pró-inflamatórios desempenham um papel importante na patogênese da cefaleia, com condições preexistentes de cefaleia exacerbando os sintomas. A importância de estratégias eficazes de controle da dor deve ser enfatizada. CONCLUSÃO: A cefaleia é um sintoma prevalente entre os indivíduos infectados pela SARS-CoV-2, com significativas implicações no atendimento ao paciente. Os achados deste estudo enfatizam a importância do reconhecimento das características da cefaleia no manejo da SARS-CoV-2 e sugerem que abordagens clínicas personalizadas são essenciais para o alívio eficaz dos sintomas.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Addressing secondary headaches in SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial for effective management and care optimization. This review aims to synthesize data on headache characteristics and the impact of pre-existing headache conditions on these symptoms in SARS-CoV-2 infection. CONTENTS: A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Collaboration, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, Embase, Open Grey, and Google Scholar, to identify studies on headache characteristics associated with SARS-CoV-2. The search focused on headache symptoms, characteristics, onset, duration, and response to treatment during and post-infection. Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria. Approximately 42.1% of individuals with SARS-CoV-2 reported headaches, resembling tension-type headaches and migraines. These headaches often manifested within the first three days of infection and could persist for up to four months. The data suggest that trigeminovascular activation and pro-inflammatory mediators play a significant role in headache pathogenesis, with pre-existing headache conditions exacerbating the symptoms. The importance of effective pain management strategies must be emphasized. CONCLUSION: Headache is a prevalent symptom among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, with significant implications for patient care. The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing headache characteristics in SARS-CoV-2 management and suggest that tailored clinical approaches are essential for effective symptom relief.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy with doxorubicin may lead to left ventricular dysfunction. There is a controversial recommendation that biomarkers can predict ventricular dysfunction, which is one of the most feared manifestations of anthracycline cardiotoxicity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of biomarkers such as Troponin I, type B natriuretic peptide, creatine phosphokinase fraction MB, and myoglobin in predicting cardiotoxicity in a cohort of women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy with anthracycline. METHODS: This is an observational, prospective, longitudinal, unicentric study, which included 40 women with breast cancer, whose therapeutic proposal included treatment with doxorubicin. The protocol had a clinical follow-up of 12 months. Biomarkers such as Troponin I, type B natriuretic peptide, creatine phosphokinase fraction MB, and myoglobin were measured pre-chemotherapy and after the first, third, fourth, and sixth cycles of chemotherapy. RESULTS: There was a progressive increase in type B natriuretic peptide and myoglobin values in all chemotherapy cycles. Although creatine phosphokinase fraction MB showed a sustained increase, this increase was not statistically significant. Troponin, type B natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, and creatine phosphokinase fraction MB were the cardiotoxicity markers with the earliest changes, with a significant increase after the first chemotherapy session. However, they were not able to predict cardiotoxicity. CONCLUSION: Troponin I, type B natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, and creatine phosphokinase fraction MB are elevated during chemotherapy with doxorubicin, but they were not able to predict cardiotoxicity according to established clinical and echocardiographic criteria. The incidence of subclinical cardiotoxicity resulting from the administration of doxorubicin was 12.5%. BACKGROUND dysfunction OBJECTIVE I METHODS observational prospective longitudinal 4 followup follow up 1 months prechemotherapy pre third fourth RESULTS changes session However CONCLUSION criteria 125 5 12.5% 12.5 12.

ABSTRACT The Verbal Autopsy (VA) is a questionnaire about the circumstances surrounding a death. It was widely used in Brazil to assist in postmortem diagnoses and investigate excess mortality during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of investigating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using VA. This is a cross-sectional study with prospective data collected from January 2020 to August 2021 at the Death Verification Service of Sao Luis city, Brazil. VA was performed for suspected COVID-19 deaths, and one day of the week was randomly chosen to collect samples from patients without suspected COVID-19. Two swabs were collected after death and subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Of the 250 cases included, the VA questionnaire identified COVID-19-related ARDS in 67.2% (52.98% were positive for COVID-19). The sensitivity of the VA questionnaire was 0.53 (0.45–0.61), the specificity was 0.75 (0.64–0.84), the positive predictive value was 0.81 (0.72–0.88), and the negative predictive value was 0.44 (0.36–0.53). The VA had a lower-than-expected accuracy for detecting COVID-19 deaths; however, because it is an easily accessible and cost-effective tool, it can be combined with more accurate methods to improve its performance.

Resumo Objetivo: Este artigo visa evidenciar a existência de um processo de retroalimentação do Antropoceno, cuja origem está nas pressões das ações humanas sobre a Terra, tomando por base a adoção de novas tecnologias que trazem riscos e impactos negativos ao meio ambiente em dois setores econômicos estratégicos: energia e agricultura. Originalidade/valor: Defendemos o argumento de que cada avanço tecnológico gera novos riscos associados, o que tende a aumentar a pressão negativa sobre os diferentes ecossistemas terrestres. Tal argumento está fundamentado em discussões sobre a “sociedade de risco” (Beck, 2011), que trata das incertezas não quantificadas dos riscos inerentes ao progresso técnico, e sobre o Antropoceno (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000), em torno dos processos pelos quais a humanidade e suas organizações impactam o Sistema-Terra. A partir dessas discussões, entendemos que não se pode excluir totalmente a incerteza das ações humanas e, portanto, tal ação estará sempre sujeita a uma condição de risco. Design/metodologia/abordagem: A partir de um ensaio teórico, são debatidas evidências da problemática dos avanços tecnológicos nesses setores, considerados particularmente expressivos dos impactos humanos no ambiente. Resultados: As evidências do processo de retroalimentação do Antropoceno por meio da análise dos avanços tecnológicos nos setores de energia e agricultura subsidiam uma reflexão contrária à ideia de que existiria um “bom Antropoceno” (Asafu-Adjaye et al., 2015) e expõem a falácia de que o avanço tecnológico dá conta de frear os impactos das ações humanas no planeta Terra.

Abstract Purpose: This article aims to highlight the existence of an Anthropocene feedback process originating from the pressures of human actions on Earth, particularly the adoption of novel technologies that bring risks and negative environmental impacts in two strategic economic sectors: energy and agriculture. Originality/value: We defend the argument that each technological advance generates new associated risks, increasing the negative pressure on terrestrial ecosystems. This argument draws inspiration from the discourse on the “risk society” (Beck, 2011), which deals with the unquantified uncertainties linked to technological progress. It also aligns with the concept of the Anthropocene (Crutzen & Stoermer, 2000), which examines how human actions and organizations impact the Earth’s system. The discussions demonstrate that uncertainty remains an inherent facet of human activities, thus perpetually subjecting such actions to risk. Design/methodology/approach: We employ a theoretical essay approach to discuss evidence that underscores the challenges posed by technological advancements in the energy and agriculture sectors, notably expressing human-induced environmental impacts. Findings: By analyzing technological advances in energy and agriculture, we substantiate the existence of the Anthropocene feedback process. This analysis contradicts the notion of a favorable “good Anthropocene” (Asafu-Adjaye et al., 2015) and challenges the misconception that technological progress alone can sufficiently mitigate the repercussions of human activities on Earth.

RESUMO: Pythium insidiosum é um importante oomiceto patógeno de mamíferos causador da pitiose, uma doença endêmica em climas quentes e que se destaca pelo prognóstico desfavorável, letalidade nas espécies afetadas e dificuldades no tratamento. Este estudo avaliou in vitro o potencial anti-P. insidiosum dos extratos aquosos, hidroetanólicos e etanólicos de cogumelos silvestres do sul do Brasil. Os extratos foram preparados a partir de Amanita gemmata, Amanita muscaria, Auricularia auricula, Gymnopilus junonius, Lactarius deliciosus, Laccaria laccata, Psilocybe cubensis e Russula xerampelina. Os ensaios de suscetibilidade in vitro empregaram a técnica de microdiluição em caldo de acordo com o protocolo M38-A2, CLSI. Os extratos hidroetanólico e etanólico de R. xerampelina apresentaram atividade anti-P. insidiosum em concentrações inibitórias mínimas que variaram de 1,87-7,50 mg/mL. Os extratos das demais espécies de cogumelos não apresentaram efeitos inibitórios sobre o crescimento de P. insidiosum. Este é o primeiro estudo a avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana de cogumelos sobre oomicetos, evidenciando o potencial antimicrobiano de R. xerampelina sobre o patógeno P. insidiosum. Assim, o presente estudo amplia novas perspectivas, uma vez que os metabólitos secundários produzidos pelos cogumelos podem ser alvos potenciais para o desenvolvimento de novas categorias de fármacos. Porém, levando em consideração a ampla biodiversidade de cogumelos brasileiros, sugere-se que a busca por outras espécies de basidiomicetos com atividade anti-P. insidiosum precisa ser ampliada.

ABSTRACT: Pythium insidiosum is an important oomycete pathogen of mammals that causes pythiosis, an endemic disease in warm climates that stands out for its unfavorable prognosis, lethality in the affected species, and difficulties in treatment. This study evaluated in vitro anti-P. insidiosum potential of aqueous, hydroethanolic, and ethanolic extracts of indigenous wild mushrooms from southern Brazil. The extracts were prepared from Amanita gemmata, Amanita muscaria, Auricularia auricula, Gymnopilus junonius, Lactarius deliciosus, Laccaria laccata, Psilocybe cubensis, and Russula xerampelina. In vitro susceptibility assays employed the microdilution technique according to the M38-A2 protocol CLSI. The hydroethanolic and ethanolic extracts of R. xerampelina showed anti-P. insidiosum activity at minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 1.87-7.50 mg/mL. The other mushroom species extracts showed no inhibitory effects on growth of P. insidiosum. This is the first study to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of mushrooms on oomycetes, evidencing the antimicrobial potential of R. xerampelina on the pathogen P. insidiosum. So, the present study expands new perspectives, since the secondary metabolites produced by mushrooms can be potential targets for the development of new categories of medicines. However, considering the wide biodiversity of Brazilian mushrooms, we suggested that the search for other basidiomycetes species with anti-P. insidiosum action needs to be expanded.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aims to access the frequency of single-nucleotide polymorphism rs12589592 (G>A) of the fibulin-5 gene in a Brazilian population with pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS: This was a case-control study, with menopausal women divided into two groups and classified using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system: pelvic organ prolapse group: pelvic organ prolapse quantification system stages III and IV and Control group: pelvic organ prolapse quantification system stages I and 0. We collected epidemiologic and baseline health information and performed genotyping of rs12589592 from the fibulin-5 gene using a restriction fragment length polymorphism (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) strategy, based on the distinction of sequences from alleles G and A by the restriction enzyme DdeI. For the pelvic organ prolapse group and control, 111 and 180 women were recruited, respectively. RESULTS: The rs12589592 (G>A) polymorphism analysis showed 141 GG homozygotes (pelvic organ prolapse group: 53 [47.7%] and Control: 88 [49.2%] p=0.850); and 149 AA+GA: (pelvic organ prolapse group: 58 [52.3%]; Control: 91 [50.8%]; p=0.904). The distribution of genotypes did not follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium conditions. CONCLUSION: There was no difference between groups regarding genotypes (rs12589592 G>A) frequency; however, the population characteristics prevent the analysis of the association between the genotype and the occurrence of prolapse.

SUMMARY At the Technical University of Cotopaxi, Ecuador, the effect of Osmolality in a hypertonic drink from the combination of orange juice and carrot juice was studied, applying an experimental investigation. Thirteen different treatments were developed and established with the statistical program Design Expert 11.1.0.1 (StadEase Inc., Minneapolis, USA). The samples were subjected to a previous pasteurization for their subsequent packaging. A sensory evaluation was carried out, where treatments 1, 8 and 13 were determined as the most accepted. Subsequently, through the program, the most optimal experimental run was obtained in terms of osmolality, which was determined as the best treatment at t8 that corresponds to the formulation with a mix of salts of 0.25%; water 15%; 54.11% orange juice and 30.64% carrot juice, thus giving an osmolality of 487 mOsm/Kg. In the physicochemical analysis, the following results were obtained: pH of 5; 0.64 acidity; 7.8 °Brix and 1.038 g/ml density; microbiological analysis of Moulds, Yeasts, E.

RESUMO Contexto: A infecção pelo Clostridioides difficile (ICD) é uma doença potencialmente grave que pode se apresentar com refratariedade, recidiva e evoluir para óbito. No Brasil, a epidemiologia da ICD parece diferir da dos Estados Unidos e da maioria dos países europeus, com apenas um caso relacionado ao ribotipo (RT) 027 e alta prevalência do RT106. Objetivo: Avaliar os desfechos da ICD e sua possível associação com ribotipos em um hospital universitário do Brasil. Métodos: Um total de 65 pacientes com ICD foram incluídos e amostras de fezes foram submetidas à detecção de toxina A/B e cultura toxigênica e as cepas toxigênicas isoladas (n=44) também foram ribotipadas por PCR. Resultados: A idade mediana dos pacientes foi de 59 (20-87) anos e houve 16 (24,6%) óbitos. A mediana do índice de comorbidade de Charlson (ICC) foi de 4 (0-15) e 16,9% dos pacientes apresentaram ICC ≥8. O escore ATLAS e a não melhora da diarreia foram relacionados a maior mortalidade. Maior tempo de internação esteve relacionado à nutrição enteral e ao uso de múltiplos antibióticos. O período entre o diagnóstico de ICD e a alta hospitalar foi maior naqueles que receberam novos antibióticos após o diagnóstico, múltiplos antibióticos e necessitaram de tratamento intensivo. A recorrência foi associada com ICC >7. Vinte ribotipos foram identificados e o RT106 foi a cepa mais frequentemente detectada (43,2%). Não foi observada relação entre os ribotipos e os desfechos. ICD esteve presente em pacientes com mais comorbidades. Conclusão: Foram identificados fatores de risco para maior mortalidade, maior tempo de internação e recorrência. Uma diversidade de ribotipos foi observada e cepas de C. difficile não foram relacionadas aos desfechos.

ABSTRACT Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a potentially severe disease that can present with refractoriness, recurrence, and evolution to death. In Brazil, the epidemiology of CDI seems to differ from that of the United States and most European countries, with only one ribotype (RT) 027-related case and a high prevalence of RT106. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of CDI and its possible association with ribotypes at a university hospital in Brazil. Methods: A total of 65 patients with CDI were included and stool samples were submitted to A/B toxin detection and toxigenic culture, and toxigenic isolates (n=44) were also PCR ribotyped. Results: Patients’ median age was 59 (20-87) years and there were 16 (24.6%) deaths. The median Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was 4 (0-15) and 16.9% of the patients had CCI ≥8. The ATLAS score and non-improvement of diarrhea were related to higher mortality. A longer length of hospitalization was related to the enteral nutrition and use of multiple antibiotics. The period between CDI diagnosis and hospital discharge was longer in those who received new antibiotics after diagnosis, multiple antibiotics, and required intensive care treatment. Recurrence was associated with CCI >7. Twenty ribotypes were identified and RT106 was the most frequently detected strain (43.2%). No relationship was observed between the ribotypes and outcomes. CDI was present in patients with more comorbidities. Conclusion: Risk factors for higher mortality, longer hospital stay and recurrence were identified. A diversity of ribotypes was observed and C. difficile strains were not related to the outcomes.

Abstract Introduction: Reinke’s Edema (RE) is a laryngeal lesion related to excessive tobacco smoking, voice overuse, and laryngopharyngeal reflux. Although the risk of malignancy has been considered low in literature, RE is classified among precancerous lesions. Objectives: We investigated DNA Copy Number Alterations (CNAs) in specimens of RE and its potential association with malignant progression. Methods: We used array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH, Agilent 4 × 180 K platform) to study eight RE cases. All patients were heavy tobacco users for at least 30 years, and none of them progressed to cancer in the follow-up (>8 years). Two RE presented mild dysplasia, one moderate dysplasia, and no histological alterations were found in the remaining five cases. CNAs were compared with the Database of Genomic Variants (DGV) and genes mapped on altered regions had their functions annotated. Results: Six of eight patients showed different rare copy number alterations on chromosomes 2q37.3, 4q13.1, 4q13.3, 7q11.22, 10p14, and 13q34. A gain of the whole chromosome 8 were detected in one case. Of interest, four of eight RE cases showed copy number imbalances involving genes previously described in several tumor types (RASA3, COL6A3, LINC00707, LINP1, SMR3A, and SMR3B). Conclusion: The genomic imbalances herein found in RE have the potential to contribute to the phenotype but with limited or no risk of cancer. A long-term follow-up in a large series of patients could clarify the mechanisms involved in the malignant progression of RE. Level of evidence: 4.

ABSTRACT High-throughput phenotyping (HTP) using vegetation indices (VIs) is an important data source for managing plant breeding programs and can be a promising tool in indirect selection. This study hypothesized that VIs are correlated with agronomic traits in corn, and therefore, HTP can be an auxiliary tool for selecting superior genotypes. The objectives were: i) to analyze the association between agronomic traits and VIs, and ii) to identify superior corn hybrids for the evaluated traits using multivariate techniques. Ten corn hybrids (AGRI 330, AGRI 340, FS575PWU, KTZ006VP3, MG545AW, MG580PW, MG711PW, MZ1780, MZ1952, and TROPI 102) were evaluated for plant height (PH), stem diameter (SD), and grain yield (GY). The VIs studied were NDVI, NDRE, EVI, GNDVI, SAVI, and MSAVI. Pearson’s correlation network was constructed to analyze the relationship between the variables, and a canonical analysis was performed to verify the inter-relationship between the variables and hybrids. The VIs evaluated are strongly positively correlated with each other and with PH. The most productive hybrids are MG545AW, FS575PWU and KTZ006VP3.
