SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Therapy and vocal rehabilitation in laryngeal cancer impact patients’ quality of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the evolution of the quality of life of patients with laryngeal cancer submitted to total laryngectomy and using electrolarynx. METHODS: This is an observational study with a cross-sectional design and a quantitative approach. It was conducted between April 2022 and January 2023 in a Brazilian cancer hospital. For data collection, a quality of life questionnaire, validated for patients with head and neck cancer at the University of Washington, was applied in two phases: from 7 days after total laryngectomy and, subsequently, from 70 days after surgery using electronic larynx for at least 60 days. The inclusion criteria were patients undergoing total laryngectomy included on the Aldenora Bello Cancer Hospital's election list to receive the electronic larynx. Patients who did not sign the informed consent form were not included. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 31 patients, of which approximately 84% were men and approximately 93% at the age of 50 years or older. When comparing the phases, it is possible to observe that the item speech had the greatest progress, while chewing had the least. Only the item recreation, swallowing, taste, and saliva did not show any statistical significance. The score for the general quality of life questions increased. CONCLUSION: Electronic larynx is a viable and useful method of voice rehabilitation. Our data suggest that the use of the electrolarynx as a postlaryngectomy method of verbal communication is responsible for positive effects on patients’ quality of life.

Electrospinning, an economical technique, is widely used for biomedical scaffold fabrication, crucial in tissue and organ regeneration, particularly with biomaterials. Polymers, either pure or reinforced with ceramics, aid in cell proliferation and tissue formation. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a promising biopolymer for tissue engineering, offering biocompatibility comparable to petroleum-derived polymers. Combining PHB with hydroxyapatite (HAp) enhances mechanical strength and osteoconductivity. This study aims to produce electrospun PHB microfibrous webs reinforced with HAp for scaffold fabrication. Morphological variations are analyzed through manipulation of electrospinning parameters. The study observed microfibrous webs with diameters ranging from 2 to 9 µm. Mechanical and microstructural evaluations demonstrate superior strength of PHB/HAp microfibrous webs compared to pure PHB, 1.23 MPa and 0.58 MPa respectively, demonstrating the efficacy of HAp reinforcement. These findings highlight the potential of PHB/HAp microfibrous webs in bone tissue engineering.

ABSTRACT Species within the genus Corymbia are regarded as potential alternatives to Eucalyptus. In addition to having superior wood quality, Corymbia spp. are tolerant to most pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses that affecting Eucalyptus plantations, including physiological disorders, water deficit, and wind damage. However, environmental stresses stimulate kino production, which decreases the quality of pulp and sawn wood. This study aimed to develop a method for evaluating kinoand estimate genetic parameters in Corymbia. For this, 16 Corymbia (C. citriodora × C. torelliana) hybrid clones and 5 clones of Eucalyptus were used. Two evaluation methods (M1 and M2) were tested for kino evaluation; M1 consisted of drilling the bark with Pilodyn and M2 consisted of drilling the heartwood with Pilodyn. The following kino parameters were evaluated: exudation incidence, exudate length which flowed over the stem, and exudate weight. Genetic parameters were estimated by a mixed model method (REML/BLUP). The significance of random effects of the statistical model was tested by the likelihood ratio test. Significant clone effects were obtained for all kino parameters, except for exudate length as assessed by M2. Kino parameters determined by M1 exhibited higher heritability and accuracy. Therefore, M1 should be preferred for kino evaluation in Corymbia. spp pests diseases plantations disorders deficit damage However production this 1 C (C torelliana used M (M evaluated incidence stem weight REML/BLUP.

RESUMO Espécies do gênero Corymbia são consideradas potenciais alternativas ao eucalipto. Além de possuir madeira de qualidade superior, Corymbia spp. são tolerantes à maioria das pragas, doenças e estresses abióticos que afetam as plantações de eucalipto, incluindo distúrbios fisiológicos, déficit hídrico e danos causados pelo vento. No entanto, as tensões ambientais estimulam a produção de kino, o que diminui a qualidade da celulose e da madeira serrada. Este estudo teve como objetivo estabelecer um método para avaliação de kino e estimativa de parâmetros genéticos em Corymbia. Para isso foram utilizados 16 clones híbridos de Corymbia (C. citriodora × C. torelliana) e 5 clones de Eucalyptus. Dois métodos (M1 e M2) foram testados para avaliação; M1 consistiu na perfuração da casca com Pilodyn e M2 consistiu na perfuração do cerne com Pilodyn. Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: incidência de exsudação, comprimento do exsudato que fluiu sobre o caule e peso do exsudato. Os parâmetros genéticos foram estimados por um método de modelo misto (REML/BLUP). A significância dos efeitos aleatórios do modelo estatístico foi testada pelo teste da razão de verossimilhança. Efeitos clones significativos foram obtidos para todos os parâmetros, exceto para o comprimento do exsudato avaliado por M2. Os parâmetros determinados por M1 apresentaram maior herdabilidade e precisão. Portanto, M1 deve ser preferido para avaliação de kino em Corymbia. eucalipto superior spp pragas fisiológicos vento entanto serrada 1 C (C torelliana Eucalyptus M (M exsudação REML/BLUP.

Abstract Introduced in the Latin American scenario by the Colombian Paola Andrea Acosta Alvarado, Multilevel Constitutionalism had to adapt to a different reality from that found in Pernice's Europe. It so happens that the American continent does not have a supranational body similar to the European Union, satisfying for the purposes desired by Acosta Alvarado the Inter-American Human Rights System. In this context, knowing that one of the tools of Inter-American Multilevel Constitutionalism is interjurisdictional dialogue, this research will assess whether the dialogues that take place between the Federal Supreme Court and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights regarding pre-trial detention are fruitful.

Resumen Introducido en el escenario latinoamericano por la colombiana Paola Andrea Acosta Alvarado, el Constitucionalismo Multinivel tuvo que adaptarse a una realidad distinta a la de la Europa de Pernice. Sucede que el continente americano no cuenta con un organismo supranacional similar a lo de la Unión Europea, satisfaciendo para los fines deseados por Acosta Alvarado el Sistema Interamericano de Protección de los Derechos Humanos. En ese contexto, sabiendo que una de las herramientas del Constitucionalismo Multinivel Interamericano es el diálogo interjurisdiccional, esta investigación buscará evaluar si los diálogos que se dan entre el Supremo Tribunal Federal y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos sobre la prisión preventiva son provechosos.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain is one of the most prevalent causes of disability in the world, and the adverse effects promoted by analgesics can limit therapeutic success. In this context, laser appears as a complementary therapy that can enhance analgesia without increasing the incidence of undesirable adverse events. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review on the effectiveness and efficiency of high intensity laser (HIL) in the treatment of pain. CONTENTS: A systematic search was carried out in Medline, LILACS, Pubmed and PEDro, from July 2020 to August 2022. The keywords pain, chronic pain, high intensity laser and treatment were considered. The quality of selected studies was assessed using the PEDro scale. Included systematic reviews were assessed for methodological quality using the AMSTAR tool. The main measure studied was pain intensity. 227 studies were found and, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 32 articles were read in full, whit one being excluded for not assessing pain. Musculoskeletal disorders corresponded to 70,96% of the assessed diseases and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was the only pain measurement tool used in 100% of the studies. Approximately 57% of the studies were of high methodological quality (PEDro=7). In 53,84% of the trials, HIL was used as a single intervention, and in 46,16% it was associated whit exercises. In 96.15% of clinical trials and 100% of systematic reviews there were positive effects of HIL on pain. CONCLUSION: HIL is an effective modality for analgesia by promoting significant pain relief, rapid recovery and improvement in patient’s quality of life, in a safe way. The diversity in irradiation parameters (dose, duration, interval and number of sessions) used, indicates the need for further randomized studies to establish its long-term efficiency.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A dor é uma das causas mais prevalentes de incapacidade no mundo, e os efeitos adversos promovidos pelos analgésicos podem limitar o sucesso terapêutico. Nesse contexto, surge o laser como terapia complementar que pode potencializar a analgesia, sem aumentar incidência de eventos adversos indesejáveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre a eficácia e a eficiência do laser de alta intensidade (LAI) no tratamento da dor. CONTEÚDO: Foi realizada uma busca sistemática nas plataformas Medline, LILACS, Pubmed e PEDro, de julho de 2020 a agosto de 2022. As palavras chaves dor, dor crônica, laser de alta intensidade e tratamento foram consideradas. A qualidade dos estudos clínicos selecionados foi avaliada utilizando a escala PEDro. As revisões sistemáticas incluídas foram avaliadas quanto à qualidade metodológica através da ferramenta AMSTAR. A principal medida estudada foi a intensidade de dor. Foram encontrados 227 estudos e com base nos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, 32 artigos foram lidos na íntegra, tendo sido excluído um por não avaliar a dor. As desordens musculoesqueléticas corresponderam a 70,96% das doenças avaliadas e a escala analógica visual (EAV) foi a única ferramenta de mensuração da dor utilizada em 100% dos estudos. Aproximadamente 57% dos estudos tinham alta qualidade metodológica (PEDro=7). Em 53,84% dos ensaios o LAI foi utilizado como intervenção única, e em 46,16% foi associado a exercícios. Em 96,15% dos ensaios clínicos e 100% das revisões sistemáticas, o LAI promoveu alívio da dor. CONCLUSÃO: O LAI é uma modalidade eficaz para analgesia ao promover significativo alívio da dor, rápida recuperação e melhora na qualidade de vida dos pacientes de forma segura. A diversidade nos parâmetros de irradiação (dose, duração, intervalo e número de sessões) empregados, indica a necessidade de mais estudos randomizados para estabelecer sua eficiência em longo prazo.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain and quality of life in patients undergoing median sternotomy. METHODS: A cohort study was carried out on a sample of 30 patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery by longitudinal median sternotomy. Patients were interviewed at Intensive Care Unit discharge and hospital discharge, when the Visual Numeric Scale and the Brief Pain Inventory were applied, and 2 weeks after hospital discharge, when the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Bref questionnaire was administered. The normality of the results was analyzed by the Shapiro-Wilk test, and Wilcoxon Rank Sum and McNemar tests were utilized for the analysis of numerical and categorical variables. For correlation between numerical variables, Spearman's linear correlation test was applied. To compare numerical variables, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were applied. Differences between groups were considered significant when the p-value was <0.05. RESULTS: Between Intensive Care Unit and hospital discharge, there was a reduction in median pain intensity assessed by the Visual Numeric Scale from 5.0 to 2.0 (p<0.001), as well as in eight Brief Pain Inventory parameters: worst pain intensity in the last 24 h (p=0.001), analgesic relief (p=0.035), and pain felt right now (p=0.009); and in interference in daily activities (p<0.001), mood (p=0.017), ability to walk (p<0.001), relationship with other people (p=0.005), and sleep (p=0.006). Higher pain intensity at Intensive Care Unit discharge was associated with worse performance in the psychological domain of quality of life at out-of-hospital follow-up. CONCLUSION: Proper management of post-sternotomy pain in the Intensive Care Unit may imply better quality of life at out-of-hospital follow-up.

BACKGROUND The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants can infect common mice inducing significant pathological lung lesions and inflammatory responses. This substantially mimics coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) infection and pathogenesis in humans. OBJECTIVES To characterise the effects of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S1 receptor-binding domain (RBD) peptide in murine macrophage and microglial cells’ immune activation compared with classical PAMPs in vitro. METHODS Murine RAW 264.7 macrophages and BV2 microglial cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of the RBD peptide (0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 µg/mL), Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Poly(I:C) and evaluated after two and 24 h for significant markers of macrophage activation. We determined the effects of RBD peptide on cell viability, cleaved caspase 3 expressions, and nuclear morphometry analysis. FINDINGS In RAW cells, RBD peptide was cytotoxic, but not for BV2 cells. RAW cells presented increased arginase activity and IL-10 production; however, BV2 cells expressed iNOS and IL-6 after RBD peptide exposure. In addition, RAW cells increased cleaved-caspase-3, apoptosis, and mitotic catastrophe after RBD peptide stimulation but not BV2 cells. CONCLUSION RBD peptide exposure has different effects depending on the cell line, exposure time, and concentration. This study brings new evidence about the immunogenic profile of RBD in macrophage and microglial cells, advancing the understanding of SARS-Cov2 immuno- and neuropathology.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life of patients with endometriosis before and after surgical treatment. METHODS: An observational, longitudinal, and prospective study was conducted with 102 women with pelvic pain and endometriosis that was unimproved by clinical treatment and indicated for surgical treatment. The patients’ quality of life was assessed using the 30-item Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30) questionnaire before and 3 and 6 months after surgery. The statistical tests were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 17.0, and the Friedman test was used. RESULTS: There was a reduction in EHP-30 scores 3 and 6 months after surgery compared to before surgery, as well as 6 months after surgery compared to 3 months after surgery, in the central questionnaire (PART 1) and in Sections A, B, C, E, and F (p<0.0001). For Section D, there was a reduction in scores 6 months after surgery compared to before surgery (p<0.0001).

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to comparatively analyze sociodemographic data and postoperative parameters of patients undergoing bypass and sleeve surgeries in a private hospital in São Luís, MA. METHODS: The study was descriptive, prospective, observational, and comparative, with a quantitative approach between August 2020 and July 2021. We analyzed 74 participants of both genders, aged between 18 and 70 years, with 31 undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and 43 undergoing sleeve gastrectomy surgery. In the postoperative period, sociodemographic characteristics, surgery and anesthesia duration, pain levels, adverse effects, weight loss, and complications from the surgical procedure were analyzed. RESULTS: Males predominated in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and females in sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Clinical characteristics regarding self-declared ethnicity, age and place of birth, education, and marital status were similar between the studied groups. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass had an average surgery time of 112.14±10.06 min and sleeve gastrectomy 91.11±23.69 min, with a significant difference (p<0.001). Regarding anesthesia time, gastric bypass averaged 160.36±13.99 min and sleeve gastrectomy 154.88±29.10 min, with no statistical difference between groups (p=0.335). Nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness were more common in Sleeve gastrectomy, with no significant difference (p=0.562). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass showed a higher rate of weight loss from 1 month after surgery (14.2±4.15) and more variation in body mass index within 3 months after surgery (32.17±4.76). Complications occurred in a small number of patients. CONCLUSION: The two surgical techniques proved effective in delivering the best results for patients, with the group undergoing bypass showing statistically significant weight loss from 1 month after the surgical procedure.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the effects of deep resection of endometriosis in the posterior pelvic region on urodynamic parameters. Methods: A prospective observational study conducted with female patients diagnosed with deep pelvic endometriosis before and after endometriosis resection surgery. Clinical history, image exams, the Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire, urodynamic examination, cystometry, and voiding study were evaluated. Results: Patients aged 30–39 years old, operative duration of 132.5 minutes, and 2.7 days of hospital stay. Uroflowmetry and cystometry showed tendency for an increase after the surgery in the flow duration, time to maximum flow, and first voiding desire and decreased residual volume and maximum cystometric capacity. Opening, maximum urinary flow, and maximum flow pressure decreased at T1, and the closing parameters increased, although statistically non significant. The variables decreased at T1 in the urodynamic, except for detrusor overactivity. Although we observed a reasonable number of low bladder compliance and abnormal bladder sensation, the results were maintained at T1. General scores for filling and incontinence showed a significant decrease after surgery. Conclusions: A significant response in the patient’s perception of urinary function was demonstrated after surgery. It is observed that the surgical procedure did not affect the uroflowmetric and cystometric characteristics of the evaluated patients.

RESUMO A perda da variabilidade genética de populações naturais implica negativamente no processo adaptativo e evolutivo das espécies. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se avaliar a variabilidade genética existente entre e dentro de populações naturais de P. platycephala, a partir de caracteres biométricos de frutos e sementes e fisiológicos de sementes e plântulas, e assim, verificar o potencial para seleção de árvores matrizes e indicar áreas para coleta e uso de sementes, como também gerar subsídios para conservação e pré-melhoramento genético da espécie. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 45 tratamentos (progênies) e quatro repetições de 25 sementes cada. As progênies foram avaliadas em laboratório, a partir de sementes coletadas de 45 matrizes amostradas em três populações naturais. Para tanto, avaliou-se os seguintes caracteres: porcentagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, tempo médio de germinação, comprimento de parte aérea e raiz principal, massa seca da parte aérea e do sistema radicular de plântulas. Os dados foram submetidos a análise RELM/BLUP para estimativa dos parâmetros genéticos, correlações e análises de divergência genética (UPGMA). As populações apresentam diferenças genéticas entre si, e variação significativa entre progênies para todos os caracteres avaliados, sendo maior a variação dentro do que entre populações. Os caracteres avaliados apresentam alto controle genético, portanto, estes podem ser utilizados na análise da variabilidade genética de populações e progênies de P. platycephala, auxiliando assim na identificação de áreas para a coleta de sementes, programas de conservação e pré-melhoramento genético da espécie.

ABSTRACT Loss of genetic variability in natural populations affects negatively the adaptive and evolutive process of plant species. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the existing genetic variability between and within natural populations of P. platycephala, using biometric characters of fruits and seeds and physiological characters of seeds and seedlings, and, thus, assess the potential for selection of mother trees, indicate areas for seed collection and use, and generate support for conservation and pre-breeding of plant species. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with 45 treatments (progenies) and four replications of 25 seeds. The progenies were evaluated in laboratory, using seeds collected from 45 mother trees sampled in three natural populations. The following characters were evaluated: seed germination percentage, germination speed index, and mean germination time; shoot and main root lengths; and seedling shoot and root dry weights. The data were subjected to RELM/BLUP analysis for estimating genetic parameters and correlations and to analyses of genetic divergence (UPGMA). The populations present genetic differences to each other and a significant variation between progenies for all characters evaluated, and the variation was greater within the populations. The characters evaluated present high genetic control; therefore, they can be used in analysis of genetic variability of populations and progenies of P. platycephala, thus assisting in the identification of areas for seed collection, conservation programs, and pre-breeding of the species.
