ABSTRACT: In Brazil, certain studies have been performed on the exposure to global occupational noise levels when mechanized equipment is used in coffee-growing. However, these did not indicate the behavior within a frequency spectrum (Hz) by octave bands. The objective of this study was to assess the sound pressure levels of the brush, mower, and atomizer attached to a tractor under actual operating conditions by using 1/1 octave band filters. Quantitative assessments were performed with the mower, brush, and atomizer attached to the MF 275 tractor under two conditions: operative and static. The noise levels obtained under actual operating conditions were determined using a DOS 1000 noise dosimeter and an octave band filter. The static condition assessments were performed inside and outside the coffee plantation using a Hikari HDB 900 digital sound level meter. The NR 15 and NHO 01 standards were used to analyze the data. Under operative and static conditions, the tractor units showed noise levels above the exposure limit of 85 dB (A) for an 8h working day. The assessment of the frequency spectrum revealed the highest noise levels to be in the 125-1000 Hz range.
RESUMO: No Brasil, alguns estudos têm sido realizados sobre exposição a níveis de ruído ocupacional global na utilização de conjuntos mecanizados na cafeicultura, não apontando o comportamento dentro de um espectro de frequência (Hz) por bandas de oitava. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o nível de pressão sonora dos implementos trincha, roçadora e pulverizador acoplados ao trator em condições reais de operação por filtros de banda de 1/1 oitava. As avaliações quantitativas foram realizadas com os implementos roçadora, trincha e pulverizador acoplados ao trator MF 275 em duas condições: operação e estático. Os níveis de ruído obtidos em condições reais de operação foram determinados com dosímetro de ruído DOS 1000 e filtro de banda de oitava. Já as avaliações em condição estática dentro e fora da lavoura cafeeira ocorreram por meio da utilização de sonômetro digital Hikari HDB 900. Foram utilizadas as normativas NR 15 e NHO 01 para análise dos dados. Em condições de operação e estático, todos os conjuntos tratorizados apresentaram níveis de ruído superiores ao limite de exposição de 85 dB (A) para uma jornada de trabalho de oito horas. A avaliação do espectro de frequência apontou que os maiores níveis de ruído foram encontrados no intervalo de 125 a 1000 Hz.

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this narrative review is to discuss the current state of research funding in Brazil. Materials and Methods: This study is based on the most recent edition of the course Funding for Research and Innovation in the University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine which was a three-day course with 12 hours of instruction. The course brought together leading experts in the field to comprehensively discuss the current state of research funding in Brazil. Each speaker provided a presentation on a specific topic related to research funding. After the workshop, speakers assembled relevant topics in this manuscript. Results: collaborative research is critical for securing research funding. It optimizes proposal competitiveness, amplifies societal impact, and manages risks effectively. As such, fostering and supporting these collaborations is paramount for both researchers and funding agencies. To maintain the highest integrity in research, investigators involved in these collaborations must disclose any relationships that could potentially influence the outcomes or interpretation of their projects. Conclusions: In Brazil, the mainstay of research funding stems from public entities, with agencies such as CNPq, CAPES, and state bodies like FAPESP, FAPERJ, FAPEMIG and others at the forefront. Concurrently, industry funding offers viable pathways, especially through industry-sponsored studies, investigator-led projects, and collaborative initiatives. The Brazilian funding landscape is further enriched by innovative platforms, including crowdfunding and the contributions of institutions like the Serrapilheira Institute. Internationally, esteemed organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation stand out as potential funders.

ABSTRACT Purpose: This study investigates the protective effect of cilostazol on the development and evolution of diabetic retinopathy in rats. Methods: Sixty male rats were divided into four groups: untreated nondiabetic rats, untreated diabetic rats, cilostazol-treated nondiabetic rats, and cilostazol-treated diabetic rats. The thickness of the internal limiting membrane to the outer limiting membrane, inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, and outer nuclear layer were measured. The number of cell nuclei per 50-μm length in retinal sections was counted to quantify the degree of retinal cell loss. Results: The number of nuclei in the ganglion cell layer was significantly higher in untreated nondiabetic rats (p<0.05). The mean number of nuclei in the cilostazol-treated nondiabetic rats was significantly higher than that in the cilostazol-treated diabetic rats (p<0.05). The cilostazol-treated nondiabetic rats had a significantly higher mean nuclei count in the inner nuclear layer and inner plexiform layer as compared with the other groups (p<0.05). The total mean retinal thickness of the cilostazol-treated nondiabetic rats was significantly higher than that of cilostazol-treated diabetic rats and untreated diabetic rats (p<0.05). Conclusion: By decreasing the loss of ganglion cells and reducing the sensorineural atrophy in the internal retinal layers, cilostazol had a protective effect against changes caused by diabetic retinopathy in diabetic rats.
RESUMO Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o efeito protetor do cilostazol no desenvolvimento e na evolução da retinopatia diabética em ratos. Métodos: Sessenta ratos machos foram divididos em 4 grupos: ratos não-diabéticos não-tratados, ratos diabéticos não-tratados, ratos não-diabéticos tratados com cilostazol e ratos diabéticos tratados com cilostazol. A espessura da membrana limitante interna à membrana limitante externa, a camada plexiforme interna, a camada nuclear interna e a camada nuclear externa foram medidas. Para quantificar o grau de perda de células da retina, foi contado o número de núcleos de células por 50 μm de comprimento em secções retinianas. Resultados: O número de núcleos no GCL foi significativamente maior em Ratos não-diabéticos não-tratados com cilostazol (p<0,05). O número médio de núcleos em Ratos não-diabéticos tratados com cilostazol foi significativamente maior do que em Ratos diabéticos tratados com cilostazol (p<0,05). A contagem média de núcleos em camada nuclear interna e camada plexiforme interna de ratos não-diabéticos tratados com cilostazol foi significativamente maior do que nos outros grupos (p<0,05). A espessura retiniana média total de Ratos não-diabéticos tratados com cilostazol foi significativamente maior do que em Ratos diabéticos tratados com cilostazol e Ratos diabéticos não-tratados (p<0,05). Conclusão: Os resultados demonstraram que o cilostazol teve um efeito protetor contra as alterações causadas pela retinopatia diabética em ratos diabéticos, diminuindo a perda de células ganglionares e reduzindo a atrofia neurossensorial nas camadas retinianas internas.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Managing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) is challenging, considering the CIN2 regression rate, perinatal risks associated with excisional procedures, and insufficient well-established risk factors to predict progression. OBJECTIVES: To determine the ability of p16INK4a and Ki-67 staining in biopsies diagnosed with CIN2 to identify patients with higher-grade lesions (CIN3 or carcinoma). DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study conducted at a referral center for treating uterine cervical lesions. METHODS: In 79 women, we analyzed the correlation of p16INK4a and Ki-67 expression in CIN2 biopsies with the presence of a higher-grade lesions, as determined via histopathology in surgical specimens from treated women or via two colposcopies and two cytological tests during follow-up for untreated women with at least a 6-month interval. The expression of these two biomarkers was verified by at least two independent pathologists and quantified using digital algorithms. RESULTS: Thirteen (16.8%) women with CIN2 biopsy exhibited higher-grade lesions on the surgical excision specimen or during follow-up. p16INK4a expression positively and negatively predicted the presence of higher-grade lesions in 17.19% and 86.67% patients, respectively. Ki-67 expression positively and negatively predicted the presence of higher-grade lesions in 40% and 88.24% patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Negative p16INK4a and Ki67 immunohistochemical staining can assure absence of a higher-grade lesion in more than 85% of patients with CIN2 biopsies and can be used to prevent overtreatment of these patients. Positive IHC staining for p16INK4a and Ki-67 did not predict CIN3 in patients with CIN2 biopsies.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Stroke is a major cause of mortality worldwide. Renal dysfunction is an important risk factor for stroke. Brazilian studies on stroke knowledge are generally population based. Studies stratifying stroke knowledge according to comorbidities are rare. Scientific data are essential to guide the awareness of stroke. OBJECTIVE: To assess stroke knowledge in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional analytical study of patients with CKD on hemodialysis in north-eastern Brazil. METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire survey on stroke awareness was administered to patients with CKD on hemodialysis between April and November 2022. The chi-square test and other descriptive statistics were used. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 197 patients were included in the analysis. The Brazilian acronym for stroke was used by 53.5% of the participants. Less than 10.0% of the sample showed optimal decision-making ability regarding stroke. Of the participants, 29.9% knew at least one risk factor and one symptom; however, this was considered as having below the minimum capacity because they did not know the emergency service call number. In the analysis adjusted for income and education, females (odds ratio [OR], 0.40%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.82), older patients (OR, 0.24%; 95% CI, 0.09-0.63) and having at most one comorbidity (OR, 0.48%; 95% CI, 0.23-0.98) were factors for lower levels of knowledge or ideal decision-making capacity against stroke. CONCLUSIONS: Patients on hemodialysis, especially women and older people, have little knowledge about stroke.

Resumo: O objetivo foi descrever a gravidade das complicações relacionadas ao aborto, os fatores relacionados às complicações, os tipos de tratamento e a experiência de atendimento no Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo transversal em vinte hospitais (dez no Distrito Federal, três em Rondônia e sete no Maranhão). Durante três meses, todos os dados de todas as mulheres tratadas por aborto/aborto espontâneo foram coletados. A gravidade das complicações foi definida de acordo com os critérios da Organização Mundial da Saúde. As mulheres com hemorragia, infecção ou lesão de órgãos foram convidadas a responder a uma entrevista sobre a experiência do atendimento. A análise estatística foi realizada usando o teste de qui-quadrado e modelos de regressão de Poisson. Entre as 1.683 mulheres incluídas, 82,5% tiveram complicações leves, 13,6% tiveram complicações moderadas, 3,2% tiveram condições potencialmente ameaçadoras à vida (PLTC, acrônimo em inglês) e 0,7% tiveram resultados maternos graves (SMO, acrônimo em inglês). A maioria das mulheres (94,2%) precisou de esvaziamento uterino. Entre elas, 91,5% precisaram de esvaziamento cirúrgico (com ou sem uso de uterotônicos) e 8,5% usaram apenas uterotônicos. O método de esvaziamento cirúrgico mais frequente foi a curetagem (66,9%), seguido pela aspiração manual a vácuo (32,3%). Os fatores associados à PLTC/SMO vs. complicações leves foram ter idade gestacional ≥ 13 semanas (razão de prevalência - RP = 3,09; intevalo de 95% de confiança - IC95%: 1,42-6,72), ter sido tratado no Maranhão (RP = 0,27; IC95%: 0,12-0,63) e em Rondônia (RP = 0,64; IC95%: 0,20-0,99). Os fatores associados às complicações moderadas vs. leves foram expulsão dos produtos da concepção antes da chegada ao serviço de saúde (RP = 2,55; IC95%: 1,64-3,96) e ter sido tratado no Maranhão (RP = 0,58; IC95%: 0,38-0,87). A maioria das mulheres que responderam à entrevista foi tratada com gentileza (95,6%), no entanto, 66,7% se sentiram estressadas e 10,1% relataram que suas preferências não foram respeitadas durante a internação. Nove em cada dez mulheres atendidas em hospitais públicos brasileiros devido a complicações relacionadas ao aborto são submetidas a algum procedimento cirúrgico, sendo o mais comum a curetagem uterina. Aproximadamente quatro em cada 100 mulheres apresentam complicações graves. É fundamental garantir o fornecimento de equipamentos para aspiração manual a vácuo e incentivar programas de educação médica continuada para aumentar a conscientização dos profissionais de saúde sobre tratamentos mais seguros para evacuação uterina.

Abstract: This study aimed to describe the severity of abortion-related complications, factors associated with complications, the types of management and the experience of care in Brazil. A cross-sectional study in twenty hospitals (10 in Federal District, 3 in Rondônia and 7 in Maranhão). For 3 months, all women treated for abortion/miscarriage had their data collected. The severity of complications was defined according to World Health Organization criteria. Women with hemorrhage, infection or organs injury were invited to answer an interview about experience of care. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test and Poisson regression models. Among 1,683 women included, 82.5% had mild complications, 13.6% had moderate complications, 3.2% had potentially life-threatening conditions (PLTC) and 0.7% had severe maternal outcomes (SMO). Most women (94.2%) required uterine evacuation. Among these, 91.5% required surgical evacuation (with or without the use of uterotonics) and 8.5% used only uterotonics. The most frequent surgical evacuation method was curettage (66.9%), followed by manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) (32.3%). Factors associated with PLTC/SMO vs mild complications were having a gestational age ≥ 13 weeks (pravlence ratio - PR = 3.09; 95% confidence interval - 95%CI: 1.42-6.72), having been treated in Maranhão (PR = 0.27; 95%CI: 0.12-0.63) and in Rondônia (PR = 0.64; 95%CI: 0.20-0.99). Factors associated with moderate vs. mild complications were expulsion of products of conception before arrival to health facility (PR = 2.55; 95%CI: 1.64-3.96) and having been treated in Maranhão (PR = 0.58; 95%CI: 0.38-0.87). Most women who responded to the interview were treated kindly (95.6%), however, 66.7% felt stressed and 10.1% reported that their preferences were not respected during hospitalization. Nine out of ten women treated in Brazilian public hospitals due to abortion-related complications undergo some surgical procedure, the most common of which is uterine curettage. Approximately four in every hundred women experience severe complications. It is essential to ensure the supply of equipment for MVA and to encourage continuing medical education programs to increase the awareness of healthcare professionals about safer treatments for uterine evacuation.

ABSTRACT The patient was referred to the Hospital das Clínicas de São Paulo for resection of the lesion by a head and neck surgeon. Resection was performed in January 2008 and the final diagnosis was low-grade osteoblastic osteosarcoma. He was referred to the prosthetic clinic at the Institute of Science and Technology-UNESP in São José dos Campos, presenting loss of the right hemi-maxilla. The patient was rehabilitated in 2012 with a removable partial palate obturator prosthesis and then distanced himself from treatment, which caused deleterious consequences due to the inherent wear of the material and the maladaptation of the prosthesis, causing him difficulties in speaking and swallowing. After a period of 11 years, the patient returned in 2023 for follow-up and new rehabilitation, being rehabilitated with a removable partial palate obturator prosthesis, where it was possible to obtain a satisfactory maxillofacial prosthesis that provides the patient with the possibility of speaking, eating and swallowing better comfort, despite the limitations that the case presented, in addition to providing psychosocial improvement to the patient.
RESUMO O paciente foi encaminhado ao Hospital das Clínicas de São Paulo para ressecção da lesão por um cirurgião de cabeça e pescoço. A ressecção foi realizada em janeiro de 2008 e o diagnóstico final foi osteossarcoma osteoblástico de baixo grau. Ele foi encaminhado à clínica de próteses do Instituto de Ciência e Tecnologia-UNESP em São José dos Campos, apresentando perda da hemi-maxila direita. O paciente foi reabilitado em 2012 com uma prótese de obturador palatino parcial removível e, posteriormente, se distanciou do tratamento, o que causou consequências deletérias devido ao desgaste inerente do material e à má adaptação da prótese, causando-lhe dificuldades na fala e deglutição. Após um período de 11 anos, o paciente retornou em 2023 para acompanhamento e nova reabilitação, sendo reabilitado com uma prótese de obturador palatino parcial removível, onde foi possível obter uma prótese maxilofacial satisfatória que proporciona ao paciente a possibilidade de falar, comer e engolir com maior conforto, apesar das limitações que o caso apresentou, além de proporcionar melhoria psicossocial ao paciente.

ABSTRACT Background Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis is a common condition among invasively ventilated patients in intensive care units, for which the best treatment strategy is currently unknown. We designed the VATICAN (Ventilator-Associated Tracheobronchitis Initiative to Conduct Antibiotic Evaluation) trial to assess whether a watchful waiting antibiotic treatment strategy is noninferior to routine antibiotic treatment for ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis regarding days free of mechanical ventilation. Methods VATICAN is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter noninferiority trial. Patients with suspected ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis without evidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia or hemodynamic instability due to probable infection will be assigned to either a watchful waiting strategy, without antimicrobial administration for ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis and prescription of antimicrobials only in cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia, sepsis or septic shock, or another infectious diagnosis, or to a routine antimicrobial treatment strategy for seven days. The primary outcome will be mechanical ventilation-free days at 28 days, and a key secondary outcome will be ventilator-associated pneumonia-free survival. Through an intention-to-treat framework with a per-protocol sensitivity analysis, the primary outcome analysis will address noninferiority with a 20% margin, which translates to a 1.5 difference in ventilator-free days. Other analyses will follow a superiority analysis framework. Conclusion The VATICAN trial will follow all national and international ethical standards. We aim to publish the trial in a high-visibility general journal and present it at critical care and infectious disease conferences for dissemination. These results will likely be immediately applicable to the bedside upon trial completion and will provide information with a low risk of bias for guideline development.
RESUMO Contexto A traqueobronquite associada ao ventilador é uma condição comum entre pacientes ventilados invasivamente em unidades de terapia intensiva, para a qual se desconhece atualmente a melhor estratégia de tratamento. Desenhamos o estudo VATICAN (Ventilator-Associated Tracheobronchitis Initiative to Conduct Antibiotic Evaluation) para avaliar se uma estratégia de tratamento antibiótico de espera vigilante não é inferior ao tratamento antibiótico de rotina para traqueobronquite associada ao ventilador em relação aos dias sem ventilador mecânico. Métodos O VATICAN é um estudo randomizado, controlado, aberto e multicêntrico de não inferioridade. Os pacientes com suspeita de traqueobronquite associada ao ventilador sem evidência de pneumonia associada ao ventilador ou instabilidade hemodinâmica devido a uma provável infecção serão designados para uma estratégia de espera vigilante, sem administração profilática de antimicrobianos contra traqueobronquite associada ao ventilador e prescrição de antimicrobianos somente em casos de pneumonia associada ao ventilador, sepse ou choque séptico, ou outro diagnóstico infeccioso, ou para uma estratégia de tratamento antimicrobiano de rotina por 7 dias. O desfecho primário será o número de dias sem ventilador mecânico em 28 dias, e um desfecho secundário importante será a sobrevida sem pneumonia associada ao ventilador. Por meio de uma estrutura de intenção de tratar com análise de sensibilidade por protocolo, a análise do desfecho primário abordará a não inferioridade com margem de 20%, o que se traduz em uma diferença de 1,5 dia sem ventilador. Outras análises seguirão uma estrutura de análise de superioridade. Conclusão O VATICAN seguirá todos os padrões éticos nacionais e internacionais. O objetivo é publicar o estudo em um periódico geral de alta visibilidade e apresentá-lo em conferências de cuidados intensivos e doenças infecciosas para divulgação. Estes resultados provavelmente serão imediatamente aplicáveis à beira do leito após a conclusão do estudo e fornecerão informações com baixo risco de viés para o desenvolvimento de diretrizes.

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 Objective: Abdominal ultrasonography is widely used to evaluate suspected cases of appendicitis. Objective descriptions of the direct and indirect signs of appendicitis result in varied assessments of its likelihood. This study introduces the Appendix Imaging Reporting and Data System (APENDIC-RADS) to standardize the reporting of appendix ultrasound findings. Methods: This single-center retrospective study included consecutive patients of all ages who underwent abdominal ultrasonography for the investigation of acute appendicitis. The primary outcome was histopathological confirmation of acute appendicitis post-surgery. The imaging findings were classified into five categories: APENDIC-RADS 0, where the appendix cannot be visualized; APENDIC-RADS 1, indicating a normal appendix; APENDIC-RADS 2, describing an appendix that is likely normal but only partially visualized; APENDIC-RADS 3, appendicitis cannot be ruled out due to uncertain features and APENDIC-RADS 4, acute appendicitis. Results: A total of 747 patients were assessed for suspected acute appendicitis using ultrasonography. Of the diagnosed patients, 52% were male, primarily exhibiting symptoms such as nausea and/or vomiting (60%), right iliac fossa pain (54%), and sudden decompression in the right iliac fossa (24%). Stratification into APENDIC-RADS categories revealed a significant variation in the incidence of acute appendicitis, with incidence rates of 4.5% for category 0 and 0.7%, 2.2%, 11.5%, and 93.5% for categories 1 to 4, respectively (p<0.001). The APENDIC-RADS showed excellent discriminative ability, evidenced by an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.950 (95%CI=0.899-1). Conclusion: APENDIC-RADS categorization demonstrated excellent performance in standardizing the ultrasound-determined probability of acute appendicitis. Its implementation could improve physician communication and standardization of patient management.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate deaths, hospitalizations, and persistence of symptoms in patients with COVID-19 after infection in an outpatient setting during the first COVID-19 wave in Brazil. Methods This prospective cohort was between April 2020 and February 2021. Hospitalized or non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients until five days after symptom onset were included. The outcomes measured were incidence of death, hospitalization, and persistence of more than two symptoms 60 days after discharge. Results Out of 1,198 patients enrolled in the study, 66.7% were hospitalized. A total of 289 patients died (1 [0.3%] non-hospitalized and 288 [36%] hospitalized). At 60 days, patients non-hospitalized during admission had more persistent symptoms (16.2%) compared to hospitalized (37.1%). The COVID-19 severity variables associated with the persistence of two or more symptoms were increased age (OR= 1.03; p=0.015), respiratory rate at hospital admission (OR= 1.11; p=0.005), length of hospital stay of more than 60 days (OR= 12.24; p=0.026), and need for intensive care unit admission (OR= 2.04; p=0.038). Conclusion COVID-19 survivors who were older, tachypneic at admission, had a hospital length of stay >60 days, and were admitted to the intensive care unit had more persistent symptoms than patients who did not require hospitalization in the early COVID-19 waves.

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory biomarkers in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis and investigate their association with all-cause mortality or transfer to hemodialysis. Methods This prospective cohort study included 43 patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Plasma levels of cytokines were measured using flow cytometry and capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Biomarkers were categorized based on their respective median values. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier estimator, considering two outcomes: all-cause mortality and transfer to hemodialysis. Results After adjusting for confounding factors, plasma levels above the median of the levels of CCL2 and plasma, as well as below the median of TNF-α, and the median of dialysate IL-17 levels, were associated with an increased risk of experiencing the specified outcomes after approximately 16 months of follow-up. Conclusion These findings suggest that inflammatory biomarkers may be a valuable tool for predicting all-cause mortality and transfer to hemodialysis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of pre-treatment with ethanolic solutions of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) at varying concentrations on the dentin collagen matrix, specifically focusing on its biomodification potential. This was assessed through evaluations of the modulus of elasticity and changes in mass. Methods Seventy dentin collagen matrices (demineralized sticks) were prepared to receive treatments with ethanolic solutions of CAPE at concentrations of 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, or 2.5%, or with control treatment solutions (distilled water or ethanol) for one hour. The dentin matrices were evaluated for modulus of elasticity and mass before (baseline), immediately after treatment (immediately), and after storage in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) for time intervals of 1 and 3 months. Results Generalized linear models for repeated measures over time indicated no significant differences between groups (p=0.7530) or between different time points (p=0.4780) in terms of the modulus of elasticity. Regarding mass variation, no differences were observed in the time interval between 1 month and the immediate time (p=0.0935). However, at the 3-month mark compared to the immediate time, the 0.1% CAPE group exhibited less mass loss compared to the water group (p=0.0134). Conclusion This study concludes that various concentrations of CAPE in an ethanolic solution did not affect the modulus of elasticity of dentin, suggesting that CAPE lacks biomodifying potential in this context. However, it was observed that 0.1% CAPE positively influenced the variation in mass over different evaluation time intervals.

ABSTRACT The development and the use of new technologies in agriculture contribute to significant advances in research with practical applications in several fields, such as image analytical techniques, which are simple, fast, and objective analyses. This work aimed to evaluate rice seeds’ quality using X-ray, multispectral, and chlorophyll fluorescence image analytical techniques and relate this information with the photosynthetic efficiency of seedlings. Initially, the seeds were identified and enumerated, then X-ray images were obtained, and the void space (area between the endosperm + embryo and the glumes) was calculated. Next, the same seeds were used in the X-rays, multispectral, and chlorophyll fluorescence images. Afterward, the seeds were placed to germinate in polyethylene cups with a capacity of 250 mL, and evaluations of the photochemical yield of photosynthesis photosystem II (FSII) and of the seedling fluorescence chlorophyll were carried out seven, nine, and 11 days after the emergence of the seedlings. The reflectance of seeds in the spectral bands between 365 nm and 780 nm showed a positive correlation with the chlorophyll fluorescence. Furthermore, the higher photosynthetic efficiency of rice seedlings at 11 days after emergence is directly related to the reflectance of the seeds at spectral bands between 365 nm and 780 nm.
