ABSTRACT

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Biomphalaria glabrata is considered to be responsible for the incidence of schistosomiasis in Brazil. Therefore, surveillance of areas where schistosomiasis is prevalent is fundamental for public health planning. This study was aimed to evaluate B. glabrata populations in water bodies of the city of Salvador, determine their distribution, estimate the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni infections, characterize shed cercariae, and identify transmission foci. METHODS: Malacological surveys were carried out in 17 water collections from Salvador. Snail species were identified based on shell and mantle characteristics. Snails were evaluated for S. mansoni infection by exposure to light and via real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using S. mansoni-18S rRNA subunit specific primers. RESULTS: 1,403 B. glabrata were collected. Classical cercarial shedding indicated that 5 snails (0.4%) were positive for S. mansoni. A higher prevalence of infections was found in Horta de Saramandaia (5.5%) and Lagoa do IAT (1.9%). Non-Schistosoma larvae, such as Xiphidiocercaria, Strigeidae, Spirorchiidae and Clinostomidae, were observed in 3.2% of the snails. S. mansoni DNA was detected in 6.2% snails via qPCR. CONCLUSIONS: B. glabrata is widely distributed in Salvador, as indicated by 7 water collections associated with a risk of schistosomiasis transmission. To our knowledge, this is the first study to identify B. glabrata eliminating cercariae of Clinostomidae, Strigeidae, and Spirorchiidae in Salvador. We propose that qPCR may be employed in combination with classical cercarial shedding. Estimating S. mansoni prevalence in snails by only considering the results of light exposure method classical into account may underestimate the problem.

ABSTRACT

A cultura da pereira (Pyrus communisL.) possui grande potencial de expansão no sul do Brasil devido às condições climáticas e de solo. A carência de informações a respeito da(s) melhor(es) combinação(ões) de cultivares 'copa de pereiras europeias' e porta-enxertos de marmeleiro em relação à compatibilidade de enxertia é um dos fatores que tem limitado o cultivo de pera no país. A utilização de porta-enxertos de marmeleiros apresentam as vantagens de redução do vigor e rápida entrada em produção, porém, quando enxertados com algumas cultivares de 'pereira europeia', pode acarretar incompatibilidade de enxertia. O trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar fenotipicamente a compatibilidade morfológica entre cultivares 'copa de pereiras europeias' e porta-enxertos de marmeleiro através das variáveis de crescimento das plantas, como o incremento de diâmetro (mm) do tronco da cultivar e do porta-enxerto; diferença de diâmetro entre a cultivar e o porta-enxerto; incompatibilidade 'translocada'; incompatibilidade 'localizada'; e análise da conexão vascular no ponto de enxertia pela imersão em solução corante de Ácido Fuccínico 0,08%. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em pomares de pereiras europeias na região de Urupema, estado de Santa Catarina, durante os ciclos de cultivo 2011/12, 2012/13 e 2013/14. As combinações de cultivares de pereiras europeias e porta-enxertos avaliados foram a 'Abbè Fetel'/'Adams', 'Decana du Comice'/'Adams', 'Clapp's Favourite'/'EMA', 'Rocha'/'Adams', 'Packham´s Triumph'/'EMA' e 'Santa Maria'/'Adams'. A combinação 'Clapp´s Favourite'/'EMA' apresentou incompatibilidade do tipo 'localizada' pela descontinuidade vascular na região de união do enxerto, impedindo a passagem do corante. As combinações 'Rocha'/'Adams' e 'Abbè Fetel'/'Adams' não apresentaram incompatibilidade de enxertia. Nessas combinações, foram observadas união vascular contínua entre as cultivares e os porta-enxertos. As combinações ...


The pear (Pyrus communis L.) crop offers an expansive market opportunity in southern Brazil, because of amicable climatic and soil conditions. However, the lack of studies on compatibility of european pear cultivars and rootstocks is one of the limiting factors on the development of the pear crop in southern Brazil. The use of quinces as rootstocks has the advantages of vigor reduction and earlier bearing trees. However, some of these combinations can present some incompatibility graft. The objective of this study was to evaluate phenotypicaly the morphological compatibility among european pear cultivars and quince rootstocks. The evaluated variable were the section increment of cultivars and rootstocks trunk diameter at the graft union; the diameter difference between scion and cultivars and rootstocks; 'translocated' incompatibility; 'located' incompatibility; and the vascular connection of the graft union by immersion of the base of the plants (under the graft union) in a 0.08% Fuccinic acid solution. The experiments were conducted in an european pear orchards in the region of Urupema municipality, state of Santa Catarina, during the 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14 growing seasons. The european pear cultivars and rootstocks evaluated were: 'Abbé Fetel'/'Adams', 'Decana du Comice'/'Adams', 'Clapp's Favourite'/'EMA', 'Rock'/'Adams', 'Packham's Triumph'/'EMA' and 'Santa Maria'/'Adams'. 'The Clapp´s Favourite'/'EMA' combination showed a `located incompatibility by descontinued vascular graft region, preventing the dye translocation. 'The Rocha'/'Adams' and 'Abbè Fetel'/'Adams' combinations did not present graft incompatibility, showing continued vascular union and no vascular disruption between cultivars and rootstocks. The 'Santa Maria'/'Adams', 'Decana du Comice'/'Adams' and 'Packham´s Triumph'/'EMA' combinations showed a good graft union region with clear and continued bark and wood bond lines. The 'Clapp´s Favourite'/'EMA' ...

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:A detailed analysis in the iconography and pictorial appearance of the scene of the "Prophet Jonah" painted by the artist Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between the years 1508 and 1512. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Literature review on the Italian Renaissance period and the life of Michelangelo Buonarroti and analysis of historical aspects of the evolution of studies of human anatomy in this period and the works of the artist. RESULTS:A comparative analysis of the representation of the figure of the fish on the left thigh of "Jonah" with a cross section of penis shows a curious similarity. The pictorial and iconographic analysis reveals an intensity of light on the pubic area and the position of the prophet with the legs spread apart and left hand placed on this region. A tube-shaped cloth covers the region and the angel at the side seems to be looking at this anatomical region of "Jonah". In fact, sets of iconographic and pictorial relate to the deciphered code. CONCLUSIONS: This description helps to confirm the relationship of the Renaissance art with the human anatomy; science has been much studied in this period. The design of a cross section of the penis is revealed with the two cavernous bodies with the septum between them and the spongy body. Considering the circumstances in which Michelangelo had painted, subjectivity was fundamental due to religious motivations added to the vigorous implications of a limited scientific knowledge typical of that era.

ABSTRACT

Uma grande revolução no tratamento da disfunção erétil, especialmente após o desenvolvimento dos primeiros inibidores da 5-fosfodiesterase (5-PDE), no final dos anos 90, marcou profundamente a história da sexualidade humana, repercutindo sobretudo na população de difícil tratamento (diabetes mellitus, prostatectomizados por câncer e outros casos de disfunção orgânica). Respeitando a estratégia de tratamento de cada urologista, os pacientes devem ser estimulados a experimentar todos os tipos de inibidores da 5-PDE disponíveis. Na falha da farmacoterapia oral, ou quando houver contraindicação para ela, dever-se-á considerar a injeção intracavernosa e, finalmente, implante cirúrgico de prótese peniana.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Pheochromocytomas are tumors derived from chromaffin cells that often secrete catecholamines and cause hypertension. The clinical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma depends on the presence of excessive production of catecholamines. Conventional imaging modalities that have been used in the preoperative evaluation include CT, MRI, and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy. Surgical resection is the definitive treatment for patients with pheochromocytoma. The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term follow-up of 24 patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. Materials and Methods: From January 1995 to September 2006, 24 patients underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenal pheochromocytoma. Twenty (83.3 percent) patients had arterial hypertension. The inclusion criteria of patients in this retrospective study were laparoscopic approach, unilateral or bilateral adrenal tumor, pathological diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and a minimum follow-up of 18 months. Results: Intra-operative complications occurred in 4 (16.7 percent) patients. Two (8.3 percent) patients had postoperative complications. Two patients (8.3 percent) had blood transfusion. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 3.8 days (range 1 to 11). Eighteen (90 percent) of the twenty patients who had symptomatic hypertension, returned to normal blood pressure immediately after surgery, during the hospital stay. In one patient, the high blood pressure levels remained unchanged. Another patient persisted with mild hypertension, well controlled by a single antihypertensive drug. Conclusions: Our results confirmed that laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma is a safe and effective procedure, providing the benefits of a minimally invasive approach. In our study, the initial positive results obtained in the treatment of 24 patients were confirmed after a mean follow-up of 74 months.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Living donor nephrectomy is usually performed by a retroperitoneal flank incision. Due to the significant morbidity and long recovery time for a flank incision, anterior extra peritoneal sub-costal and transperitoneal video-laparoscopic methods have been described for donor nephrectomy. We prospectively compare the long-term results of donors as well as functional recipients submitted to these three approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 107 live donor renal transplantations were prospectively evaluated from May 2001 to January 2004. Donors were compared with regard to operative and warm ischemia time, postoperative pain, analgesic requirements, and complications. Recipients were compared with regard to graft function, acute cellular rejection, surgical complications, and graft and recipient survival. RESULTS: The mean operative and warm ischemia times were longer in the video-laparoscopic group (p<0.001), whereas patients of the flank incision group presented more postoperative pain (p=0.035), required more analgesics (p<0.001), had longer hospital stays (p<0.001), and suffered more pain on the 90th day after surgery (p=0.006). In the sub-costal and flank incision groups, there was a larger number of paraesthesias and abdominal wall asymmetries (p<0.001). Recipient groups were demographically comparable and presented similar acute tubular necrosis incidence and delayed graft function. The incidence of acute cellular rejection was higher in the video-laparoscopic and flank incision groups (p=0.013). There was no difference in serum creatinine levels, surgical complications, or recipient or graft survival between groups. CONCLUSIONS: The video-laparoscopic and sub-costal approaches proved to be safe, and to provide donor advantages relative to the flank incision approach. Among recipients, the complication rate, graft survival, and recipient survival were similar in all groups.

ABSTRACT

A disfunção erétil (DE), outrora denominada erroneamente de impotência sexual, é um problema bastante comum e angustiante que acomete o homem. Considerada quase que exclusivamente de origem psicogênica até a década de 80, o melhor entendimento da fisiologia da ereção, bem como de sua fisiopatologia possibilitaram identificar causas orgânicas responsáveis por essa condição, que hoje sabemos serem muito mais freqüentes do que imaginávamos. Apesar de ser uma desordem benigna, esta disfunção pode interferir com a saúde física e psicossocial do paciente e/ou sua (seu) parceira (o), impactando de forma significativa na sua qualidade de vida. No Brasil, um estudo revelou que a DE acomete 45,1% dos homens adultos, em algum grau. Estima-se que, atualmente, cerca de 25 milhões de homens brasileiros com mais de 18 anos de idade sofram de algum grau de disfunção erétil e que 45% destes tenham disfunção moderada ou grave, mostrando que essa condição deve ser considerada um problema de saúde pública importante em nosso meio. Nesta revisão de literatura, pretendemos rever e expor os principais conceitos que envolvem o tema disfunção erétil, possibilitando ao médico generalista uma forma prática de abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica dos que sofrem dessa doença.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Compare two different techniques for laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (LDN), related to the operative costs and learning curve. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between April/2000 and October/2003, 61 patients were submitted to LDN in 2 different reference centers in kidney transplantation. At center A (CA), 11 patients were operated by a pure transperitoneal approach, using Hem-O-Lokomicron clips for the renal pedicle control and the specimens were retrieved manually, without using endobags. At center B (CB), 50 patients were also operated by a pure transperitoneal approach, but the renal pedicles were controlled with endo-GIA appliers and the specimens were retrieved using endobags. RESULTS: Operative time (231 ± 39 min vs. 179 ± 30 min; p < 0.000), warm ischemia time (5.85 ± 2.85 min vs. 3.84 ± 3.84 min; p = 0.002) and blood loss (214 ± 98 mL vs. 141 ± 82 mL; p = 0.02) were statistically better in CB, when compared to CA. Discharge time was similar in both centers. One major complication was observed in both centers, leading to an open conversion in CA (9.1 percent). One donor death occurred in CB (2 percent). Regarding the recipients, no statistical difference was observed in all parameters analyzed. There was an economy of US$1.440 in each procedure performed in CA, when compared to CB. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the learning curve, the technique adopted by CA, showed no deleterious results to the donors and recipients when compared with the CB. On the other hand, this technique was cheaper than the technique performed in the CB, representing an attractive alternative for LDN, mainly in developing centers.

ABSTRACT

A retenção dentária, principalmente dos terceiros molares, apresenta-se como um problema de frequência relevante que atinge indivíduos de todas as camadas sociais. Em termos estatísticos, o maior volume dessas inclusões fica por conta dos terceiros molares, os infeiores com maior incidência que os superiores. Acidentes e/ou complicações são inerentes a qualquer ato cirúrgico bucal. Tendo isso em vista, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os acidentes e as complicações em cirurgias de terceiros molares inferiores retidos, por intermédio de questionário direcionado aos especialistas em Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial. Neste estudo foram incluídos 28 cirurgiões-dentistas, cujo tempo médio como especialista em Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial foi de 15,1 anos, com desvio-padrão de 11,8 anos. O tempo mediano foi de 14,5 anos, o menor tempo de especialista observado foi de 1 ano e o maior foi de 47 anos. Considerando-se que o tempo como especialista apresentou grande dispersão entre os pesquisados, os resultados obtidos no estudo em relação às diversas perguntas do questionário foram analisados pelo número de casos por ano. Os resultados alcançados foram 61% de lesões do nervo alveolar inferior, 54% de hemorragia transoperatória e 50% de lesões do nervo lingual. Conclui-se com o presente estudo que o número de acidentes e complicações é baixo, tornando-se ainda menor quando o tempo do cirurgião-dentista na especialidade cresce


The dental retention, mainly of the third molar ones, is presented as a problem of relevant frequency that reaches individuals of all the social classes. In statistical terms, the highest volume of these inclusions is for account of the third molar ones, being the inferiors in higher incidence than the superiors. Accidents and/or complications are inherent to any buccal surgical act. In view of this importance, the objective of this work was to analyze the accidents and complications in surgeries of restrained inferior third molars through questionnaire directed to the specialists in Surgery and Bucomaxilofacial Traumatology. In this study 28 dental surgeons, whose average time of specialist in Surgery and Bucomaxilofacial Traumatology was of 15,1 years, with shunting line standard of 11,8 years have been enclosed. The medium time was of 14,5 years, the shortest time of observed specialist was of 1 year and the longest was of 47 years. Considering that the time as specialist presented great dispersion among the searched ones, the results gotten in the study in relation to the several questions of the questionnaire have been analyzed for the number of cases per year. The gotten results have been 61% of injuries of the inferior alveolar nerve, 54% of transoperation hemorrhage and 50% of injuries of the lingual nerve. It is concluded with the present study that the number of accidents and complications is low and getting even lower when the time of the dental surgeon in the specialty grows

ABSTRACT

A nefrectomia de doador vivo é habitualmente realizada por lombotomia oblíqua (LOM), com significativa morbidade para o doador. Para diminuir essas seqüelas, propuseram-se os acessos subcostal anterior extraperitonial (SUB) e videolaparoscópico transperitonial (VLP). A fim de comparar os resultados com a utilização destas técnicas, 107 doadores e seus receptores / The number of renal transplantation has been increasing in the last years, what is not compatible with the availability of cadaveric donors. What so ever, the utilization of living donors becomes larger each day, in which the nephrectomy is usually done through a retroperitoneal flank incision (LOM), with significant morbidity to the donor. Seeking to decrease these sequela, the anterior extraperitoneal subcostal (SUB) and transperitoneal videolaparoscopic (VLP) approaches have been described...

ABSTRACT

As lesões traumáticas em dentes decíduos e permanentes e suas repercussões em nível pulpar e periodontal são problemáticas, principalmente em crianças e adolescentes, merecendo por parte do cirurgião dentista um atendimento especial e imediato. Tendo em vista essa importância, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar e quantificar os diferentes aspectos etiológicos e predisponentes das lesões traumáticas atendidas no PSO Cajuru, no período de maio de 2000 a maio de 2002. Assim, foi examinado um total de 1.310 pacientes, com 2.234 dentes traumatizados. Dessa amostra foi observada uma maior ocorrência nos pacientes do sexo masculino (65,49%) em relação ao sexo feminino (34,51%). A faixa etária mais atingida foi entre 1 e 7 anos(51,90%), destacando-se a idade de 3 anos (9,47%) e em seguida de 1 ano (9,19%), tendo como a maior causa a queda de nível (32,68%). Os dentes que apresentaram maior predisposição ao trauma foram os incisivos centrais superiores (57,87%), evidenciando-se neles a frequência das seguintes lesões: subluxação (21,46%), avulsão (17,18%) e luxação lateral (16,66%). Os autores concluem que esse levantamento possibilita um conhecimento mais aprofundado das causas do traumatismo, bem como das regiões mais afetadas, o que determina uma maior possibilidade de realização de prevenções do trauma alvéolo-dentário.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To present the initial experience of videolaparoscopic nephrectomy in live renal donor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the period from April 2000 to August 2003, 50 left nephrectomies in live donor were performed by videolaparoscopy for transplantation. Twenty-eight patients were male (56 percent) and 22 female (44 percent). Mean age was 37.2 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.1 kg/m². RESULTS: Mean surgical time was 179.5 minutes, and warm ischemia time of the graft was 3.79 minutes. The mean estimated bleeding was 141 mL. There was no need of blood transfusion or conversion to open surgery. In 42 cases (84 percent), the vascular portion of the graft was considered good by the recipient's surgical team and in all cases, the ureter was considered of proper size, though in one of them (2 percent) its vascularization was considered improper. The transplanted kidneys produced urine still in the surgical room in 46 of the 50 transplantations considered. In only 2 cases opioid was required for analgesia. In average, 3.1 doses of dipyrone were used for each patient during hospital stay, and hospital discharge occurred, in average, after 3.2 days post-operatively. Two patients required re-operations and one of them evolved to death. CONCLUSIONS: The laparoscopic nephrectomy in live donor for renal transplantation is an alternative to conventional open surgery. In relation to the graft, no alteration, either anatomic or functional, was detected. Though there is already a large documentation in the international literature regarding this procedure, in our setting a prospective randomized study with the usual surgical study is still necessary in order to prove the advantages and disadvantages of the method.

ABSTRACT

O nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn constitui uma malformação na pele, que geralmente está presente desde o nascimento, podendo também surgir em diferentes épocas da vida. Além dos problemas estéticos acarretados, sua importância está na grande possibilidade de transformação maligna na fase adulta e na associação com outras patologias. Sua relevância odontológica está nas manifestações orais as quais raramente pode estar associado, como hiperplasia gengival, presença do nevo na mucosa palatal, mucosa gengival e língua, além de problemas dentais. A paciente L.A.S., de 7 (sete) anos, do sexo feminino, compareceu ao ambulatório da dermatologia do Hospital Universitário Evangélico de Curitiba, no dia 01/03/2000, apresentando placas amareladas na hemiface esquerda, placa amarelada linear no dorso do nariz com verrugas vulgares na ponta do nariz, na comissura labial do lado esquerdo e mento, características presentes desde o nascimento. Constatou-se presença de placas avermelhadas na gengiva e de leve hipertrofia gengival unilateral sem o comprometimento da irrupção dentária . O presente trabalho visa relatar este caso raro de nevo de Jadassohn com manifestações orais e apresentar o tratamento adequado

ABSTRACT

Procedimentos colorretais realizados por acesso video-laparoscopico constituem inovacao recente e figuram, em sua maioria, como operacoes realizadas em pacientes selecionados. Constitui objetivo do presente analisar os resultados advindos da experiencia inicial dos autores com o metodo. Entre 1992 e 1995, 33 doentes selecionados foram submetidos a resseccao de segmento colorretal por acesso video-laparoscopico. Foram arrolados para cada doente o diagnostico, a operacao realizada, a ocorrencia de complicacoes e a necessidade de conversao bem como a sua evolucao pos-operatoria. A doenca diverticular constituiu a indicacao cirurgica mais frequente (54,5 por cento) para esta serie de doentes seguida da doenca maligna (27,3 por cento). A operacao mais frequentemente realizada foi a colectomia esquerda em 19 doentes (57,6 por cento). A reconstrucao do transito apos resseccao foi realizada em sua maioria pela tecnica do duplo grampeamento...
