QUANTUM COMPUTING IN CHEMISTRY. Quantum computing offers transformative potential for quantum chemistry, enabling the exploration of complex molecular simulations with unprecedented accuracy. By leveraging qubits and powerful quantum algorithms like the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) and quantum phase estimation (QPE), quantum computing provides a novel approach to unraveling the intricacies of electronic structures and properties of molecules. While challenges persist in qubit stability and error mitigation, continuous innovation is fostered by collaborative efforts between the quantum computing and chemistry communities. These collaborations pave the way for groundbreaking advancements in drug discovery and materials science. This research employed quantum computing simulators to investigate the potential energy surface (PES) of the H2 molecule at the CCSD/STO-3G level of theory. These simulators, leveraging qubits and sophisticated algorithms, facilitated the acquisition of detailed information regarding the electronic structure, bonding mechanisms, and spectroscopic properties of the diatomic molecules.

ABSTRACT The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others.

ABSTRACT In 2000, Cleide Costa published a paper presenting the state of knowledge of the Neotropical Coleopte ra, with a focus on the Brazilian fauna. Twenty-four years later, thanks to the development of the Coleoptera section of the Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna (CTFB - Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil) through the collaboration of 100 coleopterists from all over the globe, we can build on Costa’s work and present an updated overview of the state of knowledge of the beetles from Brazil. There are currently 35,699 species in 4,958 genera and 116 families known to occur in the country, including representatives of all extant suborders and superfamilies. Our data show that the Brazilian beetle fauna is the richest on the planet, concentrating 9% of the world species diversity, with some estimates accounting to up to 15% of the global total. The most diverse family in numbers of genera is Cerambycidae (1,056 genera), while in number of species it is Chrysomelidae (6,079 species). Conotrachelus Dejean, 1835 (Curculionidae) is the most species-rich genus, with 570 species. The French entomologist Maurice Pic is the author who has contributed the most to the naming of species recorded from Brazil, with 1,794 valid names in 36 families, whereas the Brazilians Ubirajara R. Martins and Maria Helena M. Galileo are the only ones among the top-ten authors to have named species in the 21st century. Currently, approximately 144 new species of Brazilian beetles are described each year, and this average is projected to increase in the next decade to 180 species per year, or about one new Brazilian beetle every two days.

ABSTRACT Thyroid storm is a critical and infrequent state that conditions the dysfunction of multiple organs due to the effect of excess thyroid hormones. This endocrine dysfunction has a high mortality and generates typical manifestations such as tachycardia, fever, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and heart disorders, and the central nervous system. Pregnancy has been associated with an increased incidence of arrhythmias. They need immediate treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs, electrical cardioversion, or emergency caesarean section. WPW is a congenital cardiac abnormality that consists of the presence of an abnormal bundle (Kent bundle) that prevents the normal conduction system, directly joining the atria and ventricles. We will see the case of a 32-week pregnant woman who presented symptoms of thyroid storm and multiple episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PST), with a torpid clinical course mediated by an abnormal intermittent Kent bundle. It is evident that the thyroid storm in the context of pregnancy produced changes in the electrophysiological properties of the intermittent Kent bundle, which led to the development of multiple PST refractory to electrical and pharmacological cardioversion. Moreover, it also did not improve with total thyroidectomy, only resolved completely with radiofrequency catheter ablation of the Kent bundle.
RESUMEN La tormenta tiroidea es un estado crítico y poco frecuente que condiciona la disfunción de múltiples órganos por el efecto del exceso de las hormonas tiroideas, esta disfunción endócrina tiene una elevada mortalidad y genera manifestaciones típicas como la taquicardia, fiebre, alteraciones gastrointestinales, cardiovasculares y del sistema nervioso central. El embarazo se ha asociado con un incremento en la incidencia de arritmias. Necesitan un tratamiento inmediato con drogas antiarrítmicas, cardioversión eléctrica o cesárea de urgencia. El WPW es una anormalidad cardiaca congénita que consiste en la presencia de un haz anómalo (Haz de Kent) que evita el sistema normal de conducción uniendo directamente aurículas y ventrículos. Veremos el caso de una gestante de 32 semanas que presenta un cuadro de tormenta tiroidea y múltiples episodios de taquicardia paroxística supraventricular (TPS), de tórpida y sombría evolución clínica mediada por un haz anómalo de Kent intermitente. Es evidente que la tormenta tiroidea en el contexto de la gestación produjo cambios en las propiedades electrofisiológicas del haz anómalo de Kent intermitente lo cual propició el desarrollo de múltiples taquicardias paroxísticas supraventriculares refractarias a la cardioversión eléctrica y farmacológica. Tampoco mejoró con la tiroidectomía total, solamente cedió por completo con la ablación por catéter de radiofrecuencia del haz anómalo de Kent.

ABSTRACT The presence of fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) on a routine 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is an interesting marker of depolarization abnormality. There is compelling data suggesting that fQRS represents a conduction delay from inhomogeneous activation of the ventricles due to myocardial scar. However, fQRS is not specific for coronary artery disease and it is also found in other myocardial diseases such as cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease. fQRS has also been described in other entities such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and Brugada syndrome. The importance and predictive value of the fQRS complex as an ECG marker of cardiovascular events appear to be different in different entities. In patients with stable coronary artery disease and in patients with acute myocardial infarction, fQRS appears to be a good predictor of cardiac events. In patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, narrow fQRS appears to correlate with the degree of fibrosis and dyssynchrony, and could influence the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy. In patients with LV dysfunction, there is no clear evidence that the presence of fQRS can predict arrhythmic events. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant difference in mortality associated with the presence of fQRS in patients with acute coronary syndrome and myocardial necrosis. The presence of fQRS has a high specificity and a high positive predictive value for the existence of segmental disorders of myocardial motility in patients with ischemic heart disease.
RESUMEN La presencia de complejos QRS fragmentados (fQRS) en un electrocardiograma (ECG) de 12 derivaciones de rutina es un marcador interesante de anormalidad de la despolarización. El fQRS representa un retraso en la conducción debido a una activación no homogénea de los ventrículos debido a una cicatriz miocárdica. Sin embargo, la fQRS no es específica de la enfermedad de las arterias coronarias y además se encuentra en otras enfermedades del miocardio como la miocardiopatía y la cardiopatía congénita. fQRS también se há descrito en otras entidades como la miocardiopatía arritmogénica del ventrículo derecho y el síndrome de Brugada. La importancia y el valor predictivo del complejo fQRS como marcador ECG de eventos cardiovasculares parecen ser diferentes en diferentes entidades. En pacientes con enfermedad arterial coronaria estable y en pacientes con infarto de miocardio agudo, la fQRS parece ser un buen predictor de eventos cardíacos. En pacientes con miocardiopatía no isquémica, la fQRS estrecho parece correlacionarse con el grado de fibrosis y disincronía, y podría influir en la respuesta a la terapia de resincronización cardíaca. En pacientes con disfunción del VI, no hay evidencia clara de que la presencia de fQRS pueda predecir eventos arrítmicos. Por otro lado, hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la mortalidad asociada a la presencia de fQRS en pacientes con síndrome coronario agudo y necrosis miocárdica. La presencia de fQRS, posee una alta especificidad y un alto valor predictivo positivo debido a la existencia de trastornos segmentarios de la motilidad miocárdica en pacientes con cardiopatía isquémica.

Abstract Background: The detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance patterns is based on phenotypic and genotypic susceptibility tests. The discordant results between them are a clinical challenge for the management of patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis. Aim: To evaluate the concordance between phenotypic and molecular tests in patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis treated in an institution in Cali, Colombia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A phenotypic sensitivity profile was obtained from mycobacterial cultures. The genotypic susceptibility was obtained with Xpert-MTB/ RIF® or Genotype-MDRTBplus ®. The percentage of resistance and percentage of agreement between the results of the phenotypic and genotypic tests were evaluated. A Cohen’s kappa coefficient (κ) was estimated for each type of resistance according to the test used. Results: A total of 30 cases with both genotypic and phenotypic testing were included. The phenotypic tests detected resistance to first-line drugs in 29/30 cases, while the molecular tests detected resistance in all the cases evaluated. The percentage of resistance detected between Genotype-MDRTBplus® and the phenotypic test for rifampicin was 61.5% (overall agreement 41.1%, κ = 0.40, p = 0.96), while the percentage of resistance detected with XpertMTB/RIF® was 100% (overall agreement 81.82%, κ: 0.00, p < 0.001) for this same drug. Resistance to isoniazid detected by both types of tests was 94.4% (overall agreement 89.47%, κ: -0.055 p = 0.59). Conclusions: Discordance between the results of genotypic and phenotypic tests is possible, so it is important to use and interpret both types of tests in a complementary way in the diagnosis of resistance to first-line drugs in M. tuberculosis infection.
Resumen Introducción: La detección de patrones de resistencia de Mycobacterium tuberculosis se basa en pruebas de susceptibilidad fenotípicas y genotípicas. Los resultados discordantes entre ellas son un desafío clínico para el manejo de pacientes con tuberculosis resistente a fármacos. Objetivo: Evaluar la concordancia entre pruebas fenotípicas y moleculares en pacientes con tuberculosis resistente a fármacos atendidos en una institución de Cali, Colombia. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en el que se obtuvo el perfil de sensibilidad fenotípico de cultivos de micobacterias y la susceptibilidad genotípica con las pruebas moleculares Xpert-MTB/ RIF® o Genotype-MDRTBplus ®. Se evaluó el porcentaje de resistencia y porcentaje de acuerdo entre los resultados de las pruebas fenotípicas y genotípicas. Se estimó un coeficiente de kappa de Cohen (κ) para cada tipo de resistencia según la prueba utilizada. Resultados: Se incluyeron 30 casos con resultados de pruebas genotípicas y fenotípicas. Las pruebas fenotípicas detectaron resistencia a fármacos de primera línea en 29/30 casos, mientras que las moleculares detectaron la resistencia en todos los casos evaluados. El porcentaje de resistencia a rifampicina detectado entre la prueba fenotípica y Genotype-MDRTBplus ® &e 61,5% (acuerdo global 41,1%, κ = 0,40, p = 0,96), mientras que el porcentaje de resistencia detectado con Xpert-MTB/RIF® fue 100% (acuerdo global 81,82%, κ: 0,00, p < 0,001) para este mismo medicamento. El porcentaje de resistencia a isoniacida detectado entre la prueba fenotípica y Genotype-MDRTBplus ® fue 94,4% (acuerdo global 89,47%, κ: -0,055 p = 0,59). Conclusiones: La discordancia entre los resultados de las pruebas genotípicas y fenotípicas es posible, por lo que es importante usar e interpretar ambos tipos de pruebas de manera complementaria en el diagnóstico de la resistencia a fármacos de primera línea en la infección por M. tuberculosis.

In higher education, reasonable accommodations are increasingly made for students with a wide range of disabilities. However, rigorous assessment is paramount to ensure these students are supported while preventing ineligible students from gaining unfair advantages. In this context, we sought to identify under which circumstances a university student should be allowed academic accommodation for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to outline an evidence-based policy for use in Brazil based on the global experience. We reviewed the literature to acquire information on what documents are commonly required by disability services before accommodations for ADHD are provided (including detection of malingering) and scrutinized the eligibility criteria of leading universities worldwide. Finally, renowned experts in the field and national stakeholders were consulted. Despite an exhaustive search, we found no international standard for the assessment of students with ADHD who request academic accommodation; even renowned institutions worldwide differ in their approaches to granting accommodations on the grounds of ADHD. Therefore, we propose a unified set of nationwide criteria for Brazilian universities, which could be generalized internationally. Higher education institutions in Brazil and beyond may benefit from adoption of such criteria.

Resumen Objetivo: El intervalo Tpico-Tfinal de la onda T es un marcador electrocardiográfico de la dispersión transmural aumentada de la repolarización ventricular. Investigamos la presencia de trastornos del sistema de conducción cardíaca en pacientes con hipertensión arterial sistémica (HA) que poseen alterado el intervalo Tpico-Tfinal de la onda T. Métodos: Los 67 pacientes con HA fueron divididos en dos grupos. Aquellos con intervalos de Tpico-Tfinal prolongados (≥ 77 ms), 21 (31%) pacientes (grupo de estudio). Aquellos con intervalos normales (< 77 ms) Tpico-Tfinal, 46 (69%) pacientes (grupo control). Los intervalos Tpico-Tfinal fueron medidos por herramientas de análisis electrocardiográfico computarizado. Resultados: El valor mediano de la duración del complejo QRS fue significativamente más amplio en el grupo de estudio (110 ± 12 ms vs. 94 ± 8 ms p < 0.001). Hubo una incidencia significativamente mayor de hemibloqueo anterior izquierdo en el grupo de estudio (14% vs. 0% p < 0.04). El valor mediano del intervalo QTc fue significativamente mayor en el grupo de estudio (440 ± 26 vs. 422 ± 15 p < 0.01). Hubo una incidencia significativamente mayor de pacientes con intervalo QTc prolongado en el grupo de estudio (33% vs. 11% p < 0.02). El valor mediano del intervalo Tpico-Tfinal fue significativamente mayor en el grupo de estudio (84 ± 5 ms vs. 65 ± 4 ms p < 0.001), así como el cociente Tpico-Tfinal/QTc (0.19 ± 0.1 vs. 0.16 ± 0.1 p < 0.001). Conclusión: Existe una alteración de la repolarización ventricular significativamente mayor y anomalías del sistema de conducción cardíaca en pacientes con HA que poseen alteración del intervalo Tpico-Tfinal de la onda T.
Abstract Purpose: The Tpeak-Tend interval of the T wave has emerged as a new electrocardiographic marker of increased transmural dispersion of ventricular repolarization. We aimed to determine the presence of cardiac conduction system disorders in patients with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) who have altered Tpeak-Tend interval of the T wave. Methods: The 67 patients with SAH were divided into two groups. Those with prolonged (≥ 77 ms) Tpeak-Tend intervals, 21 (31%) patients were in the study group. Those with normal (< 77 ms) Tpeak-Tend intervals, 46 (69%) patients were in the control group. Alteration of ventricular repolarization manifested as a prolongation of the Tpeak-Tend interval was detected by computerized electrocardiographic analysis tools. Results: The median value of QRS complex duration was significantly wider in the study group as compared to the control group (110 ± 12 ms vs. 94 ± 8 ms p < 0.001). There was a significantly greater incidence of left anterior hemiblock in the study group (14% vs. 0% p < 0.04). The median value of the QTc interval was significantly greater in the study group (440 ± 26 vs. 422 ± 15 p < 0.01). There was a significantly greater incidence of patients with prolonged QTc interval in the study group (33% vs. 11% p < 0.02). The median value of the Tpeak-Tend interval was significantly greater in the study group (84 ± 5 ms vs. 65 ± 4 ms p < 0.001), as well as, the Tpeak-Tend/QTc ratio in the study group (0.19 ± 0.1 vs. 0.16 ± 0.1 p < 0.001). Conclusion: There is a significantly greater ventricular repolarization disorders and abnormalities of the cardiac conduction system in SAH patients who possess altered Tpeak-Tend interval of the T wave.

The 1,4-naphthoquinones are an important group of compounds intensively studied because of their wide range of biological activities. Four 2-chloro-3-(substituted-phenylamino)-1,4 naphthoquinone derivatives were synthesized, and the vibrational modes of these molecules were assigned using Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. In addition, X-ray studies were performed for one of these derivatives. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also developed for these compounds and presented. In summary, the results obtained from these studies can assess chemical changes in the structures of functionalized quinones and the discovery of candidate biologically active compounds. 1,4naphthoquinones 14naphthoquinones naphthoquinones 1,4 1 4 activities 2chloro3substitutedphenylamino1,4 2chloro3substitutedphenylamino14 chlorosubstitutedphenylamino 2 chloro 3 substituted phenylamino 2-chloro-3-(substituted-phenylamino)-1, synthesized FTIR (FTIR techniques addition Xray X ray DFT (DFT presented summary 4naphthoquinones 14 1, 2chloro3substitutedphenylamino1 substitutedphenylamino 2chloro3substitutedphenylamino1, 2-chloro-3-(substituted-phenylamino)-1 2chloro3substitutedphenylamino 2-chloro-3-(substituted-phenylamino)- 2-chloro-3-(substituted-phenylamino) 2-chloro-3-(substituted-phenylamino

Abstract Background Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication of neuraxial techniques which delays patients’ discharge. Sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) is a safe bedside technique with comparable efficacy to Epidural Blood Patch, the gold-standard treatment. There is no evidence on the ideal timing for SPGB performance. We aimed to evaluate the difference between early versus late SPGB concerning efficacy, symptom recurrence and hospital length of stay. Methods We present an observational study with 41 patients diagnosed with PDPH who were submitted to SPGB with ropivacaine 0,75%. The study sample (n = 41) was divided in two groups: an early (less than 24 hours after diagnosis) and a late (more than 24 hours after diagnosis) SPGB group. Pain was evaluated 15 minutes after the block and follow up occurred daily until patients were discharged. Patients’ demographic characteristics, neuraxial technique, timing of SPGB, qualitative pain relief and post-SPGB length of stay were registered and analyzed with SPSS statistics (v26) software. Results Early SPGB resulted in a significant reduction in length of stay (p = 0,009) and symptom recurrence (p = 0,036), showing equally effective pain relief, compared to late SPGB. Conclusions SPGB was equally effective in both groups. Data showed that early SPGB reduces length of hospital stay and symptom recurrence, which potentially allows early resumption of daily activities and a reduction in total health costs.

There is robust evidence of the hypochlorous acid (HClO)-mediated damage in biomolecules, and nicotine boosts the chlorination potency of HClO. We present experimental and theoretical evidence of the mechanism by which nicotine catalyzes the chlorination of pyranine. The rate constants for chlorination of pyranine by HClO were measured in the presence (5.3 × 105 mol 1 L s-1) and absence of nicotine (4.2 × 103 mol-1 L s-1), revealing the catalytic effect of the alkaloid. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, based on B3LYP-GD3(BJ)/6-311++G(3df,2p)/SMD(Water)//B3LYP-GD3(BJ)/6-311++G(2d,p)/SMD(Water) level of theory, were performed and showed a decreased activation energy for chlorine transfer and hydrogen abstraction when nicotine chloramine intermediated the reaction. The atomic polar tensor (APT) charges on the chlorine atom of HClO (+0.084) were lower than the chlorine of nicotine chloramine (+0.149), revealing the higher electrophilic character of nicotine chloramine. In conclusion, the increased electrophilic nature of HClO provoked by nicotine explains its catalytic effect.

ABSTRACT In Cuba, newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) was introduced in January 2019. The results from the first three years of the CF NBS program are presented. An IRT/IRT protocol was followed using a cut-off value of 50 ng/mL. In this period 281,717 neonates were screened, 2,197 samples had increased IRT values, and a second sample was necessary (recall rate=0.78%). In 686 (0.24%) neonates, IRT was still elevated, and they were referred for clinical evaluation. Twenty-one children were confirmed by sweat test and molecular biology. Eighteen newborns presented variant F508del. A false negative case was reported. Demographic data of 32,764 neonates were collected. The average age of sampling was six days with results available at 11 days of life, but 1.7% of the samples were collected 20 days after birth. The mean IRT value was 12.7±11.7 ng/mL (ranging 0-283 ng/mL) with a calculated 98.5 percentile value of 42.4 ng/mL. On average, the samples were processed five days after collection and two days after they were received at the laboratory. Although CF NBS program in Cuba is just beginning, it can be predicted that CF will be one of the most frequent inherited-metabolic diseases in the Cuban population.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a precisão da tomografia corneana com imagens de Scheimpflug (Pentacam® AXL, OCULUS, Wetzlar, Alemanha) nos padrões de escaneamento com 25 e 50 imagens, verificando sua repetibilidade e reprodutibilidade em olhos normais, com ceratocone e com ceratocone após crosslinking. Métodos Estudo prospectivo, transversal, misto, no qual foram incluídos os pacientes que tinham córneas normais, ou com ceratocone; e não tinham realizado cirurgias corneanas, com exceção do crosslinking. Foram excluídos os pacientes que tivessem realizado outras cirurgias, como implante de anel intracorneano ou transplante de córnea. Foram realizadas três medidas com 25 imagens e três medidas com 50 imagens em cada olho incluído no estudo. Resultados O estudo avaliou 54 olhos de 41 pacientes. Destes, dez (18,52%) olhos eram com córneas normais e sem cirurgia ocular prévia aleatoriamente selecionados de 5 pacientes; 22 (40,74%) olhos aleatoriamente selecionados de 18 pacientes com ceratocone, sem cirurgia ocular prévia; e 22 (40,74%) olhos com ceratocone de 18 pacientes operados por crosslinking. No estudo da repetibilidade, percebemos uma maior variação de valores em todos os índices nos pacientes com ceratocone comparados aos de pacientes com olhos normais, em grande parte dos parâmetros analisados. Conclusão Não houve diferença significativa entre os métodos de escaneamento por 25 e 50 imagens, sendo o escaneamento por 25 imagens mais conveniente. A presença de ceratocone teve impacto negativo na repetibilidade de ambos os tipos de exame, e foi grande a concordância entre os métodos nos três grupos estudados. O coeficiente de repetibilidade permite considerar a relevância clínica dos dados para avaliar a progressão de ceratocone.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the accuracy of corneal tomography with Scheimpflug images (Pentacam® AXL, OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany) in scanning patterns with 25 and 50 images, by analyzing their repeatability and reproducibility in normal eyes, eyes with keratoconus and with keratoconus after crosslinking. Methods Prospective, cross-sectional, mixed study including patients who had normal corneas, or who had keratoconus, who had not undergone corneal surgery, with the exception of crosslinking. Patients who had undergone surgery for intracorneal ring implantation or corneal transplantation were excluded. Three measurements were performed with 25 images and three measurements were performed with 50 images on each eye included in the study. Results The study evaluated a total of 54 eyes of 41 patients. Of these, 10 (18.52%) eyes had normal corneas, without previous eye surgery, 22 (40.74%) were eyes with keratoconus, without previous eye surgery, and 22 (40.74%) were eyes with keratoconus, with crosslinking for keratoconus. In the study of repeatability, we noticed a greater variation of values in all indices in patients with KC compared to those with normal eyes, in most of the parameters analyzed. Conclusion There is no significant difference between the scanning methods with 25 and 50 images. However, 25 scans has advantages that make it the main method suggested. The presence of keratoconus has a negative impact on the repeatability of both types of examination, and there is great agreement between the methods in the three groups studied. The high repeatability coefficient in some parameters suggests that these data should be used with care in the assessment of keratoconus progression.

Abstract Introduction: We investigated the clinical course and outcomes of patients submitted to cardiovascular surgery in Brazil and who had developed symptoms/signs of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the perioperative period. Methods: A retrospective multicenter study including 104 patients who were allocated in three groups according to time of positive real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2): group 1, patients who underwent cardiac surgery > 10 days after positive RT-PCR; group 2, patients with a positive RT-PCR within 10 days before or after surgery; group 3, patients who presented positive RT-PCR > 10 days after surgery. The primary outcome was mortality and secondary outcomes were postoperative complications, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and postoperative days of hospitalization. Results: The three groups were similar with respect to age, the European System of Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation score, and comorbidities, except hypertension. Postoperative complications and death were significantly higher in groups 2 and 3 than in group 1, and no significant difference between groups 2 and 3 was seen. Group 2 showed a high prevalence of surgery performed as an urgent procedure. Although no significant differences were observed in ICU length of stay, total postoperative hospitalization time was significantly higher in group 3 than in groups 1 and 2. Conclusion: COVID-19 affecting the postoperative period of patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery is associated with a higher rate of morbidity and mortality. Delaying procedures in RT-PCR-positive patients may help reduce risks of perioperative complications and death.

This study aimed to develop a reliable stability-indicating method (SIM) for amoxicillin 500 mg capsules (DP-drug product). A literature review addressing amoxicillin (AMX; DS-drug substance) forced degradation studies and the existing SIMs was conducted to verify the most significant outcomes. Subsequently, the forced degradation of DP and DS was carried out following the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) guidelines, including thermal degradation (dry and wet heat), acidic and alkaline hydrolyses, hydrogen peroxide oxidation, reaction with copper, and photodegradation. Both DS and DP were more susceptible to 0.015 M NaOH, resulting in approximately 50% degradation. AMX DS and DP were not significantly photodegraded, but some degradation products (PDegs) showed susceptibility to light exposure. Thermodegraded samples showing ≥ 10% degradation exhibited modified profiles in thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analyses. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns (XRPD) of DS samples exposed to dry and wet heat displayed complete amorphization of AMX, attesting to the occurrence of physical degradation concomitantly with chemical degradation, which can alter the drug’s bioavailability. In contrast, the thermodegraded DP samples exhibited intact AMX crystals interspersed with the amorphous form, perhaps partly protected by the excipient. The validated SIM was able to detect and quantify about 80 PDegs.
