Objective Revised staging of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer is based on clinical examination, imaging, and potential surgical findings. A known limitation of imaging techniques is an appreciable rate of understaging. In contrast, surgical staging may provide more accurate information on lymph node involvement. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the impact of pre-treatment surgical staging, including removal of bulky lymph nodes, on disease-free survival in patients ...

This paper presents the impacts caused by the integration of variable speed wind turbines on long-term voltage stability. The technologies used are fully rated converter (FRC) and doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with two control strategies: grid-side converter (GSC) at unity power factor, which is usually adopted, and GSC controlling reactive power. Also, this paper considers wind turbines capability curves and its variable limits, since they are subject to several limitations that changes with ...

Aedes aegypti is a major disease vector in urban habitats, involved in the transmission of dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Despite innumerous attempts to contain disease outbreaks, there are neither efficient vaccines nor definite vector control methods nowadays. In recent years, an innovative strategy to control arboviruses, which exploits the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, emerged with great expectations. The success of the method depends on many aspects, including Wolbachia's cytoplasmic ...

We report the case of a young woman who presented with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea due to an undiagnosed and untreated pituitary adenoma. The tumor had extended well beyond sella turcica and caused bony erosion. The patient initially refused surgery and was treated with bromocriptine and a radiation therapy. CSF leakage did not improved and she was submitted to surgery by the transsphenoidal approach with removal of a tumor mass located in sphenoid sinus and sellar region. Origin of the ...

Background The ideal approach to the treatment of soft cervical disc herniation remains controversial. Recent reports emphasize several variations of anterior cervical approaches, including the introduction of instrumentation techniques. New issues have been raised and modern neurosurgeons seem to be less familiar with the posterior approach. The objective of this study was to analyze the results obtained by surgical treatment via a posterior approach of soft cervical disc herniation. METHOD Fifty- ...

Review our long-term results with the Ross operation in middle-aged patients.Between 1995 and 2016, 129 consecutive patients (106 males); mean age (47.2 ± 5.2 years) underwent a Ross operation. Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction was performed with cryopreserved (n = 45) or decellularized allografts (n = 84). Mean follow-up was 8.4 ± 5.3 years (0.1 20.5 years). We analyzed early and late mortality, as well as valve related events and the need for reoperations.Early mortality was 1.6% and late ...

Information about mule physiology is scarce. Glucose and lactate serve as prognostic tools in neonates; thus, real-time evaluations would be beneficial. Our main objective was to measure glucose and lactate concentrations from healthy mule and equine foals from birth to 720 hours. Glucose and lactate concentrations were evaluated with a benchtop Randox Daytona analyzer (LAB) using plasma and with an Accutrend Plus system (ACP) using whole blood. Data were analyzed using PROC MIXED (P < .05), intraclass ...

This paper investigates the use of secondary voltage control (SVC) in a wind park based on doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and its effect on long-term voltage stability. The performance of the SVC applied to wind park is compared with the case when only the primary voltage control (PVC) is adopted. A detailed analysis is conducted with time-domain simulations, considering high and low wind speed regimes, control variable limits of wind generators, static and dynamic loads, and dynamic models ...

Superposed events of rock exposure, fracturing, and the hydrological dynamics, are key elements that influence epigenic karstification in carbonate reservoirs. However, they are not fully identified in seismic or well data. One way forward is a multiscale characterization of the porous system to understand karst development, from the pore scale to large caves, confined to high-permeability layers that can reach the basin scale. The present study investigates superposed meteoric dissolution events ...

This work evaluated the productivity and the nutrient absorption by a corn crop using manure of swine reared in a full-cycle system. The experimental design used was completely randomized, with 4 replications. The treatments were arranged in a 4 x 2 + 2 factorial scheme, with 4 doses of swine manure (20, 30, 40 and 50 m3 ha-1), applied before sowing and two forms of cover fertilization (90 kg of N in urea form and 20 m3 ha-1 of swine manure); and two additional treatments, with NPK chemistry fertilization, ...

Abstract The rise of the mosquitoes‐transmitted diseases, like dengue, zika and chikungunya in Brazil in the last years has increased concerns on protection against mosquitoes bites. However, the prohibitive prices of the commercially available repellents for the majority of the Brazilian population has provoked a search for cheaper solutions, like the use of the homemade ethanolic extract of Indian clove ( Syzygium aromaticum L .) as repellent, which has been reported as quite efficient by the local ...

New and more aggressive antibiotic resistant bacteria arise at an alarming rate and represent an ever-growing challenge to global health care systems. Consequently, the development of new antimicrobial agents is required to overcome the inefficiency of conventional antibiotics and bypass treatment limitations related to these pathologies. In this study, we present a synthesis protocol, which was able to entrap tetracycline antibiotic into silica nanospheres. Bactericidal efficacy of these structures ...

The tetanus toxin is a neurotoxin synthesized by the bacillus Clostridium tetani that, after detoxification with formaldehyde, still exhibits antigenic and immunologic properties, hence its denomination of tetanus toxoid. Such a neurotoxin is produced by cultivation of the microorganism in vegetative form on a relatively complex specific medium containing glucose and peptone. The simultaneous effects of the starting levels of glucose (G0) and N-Z Case TT (NZ0) as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, ...

The cryopreserved homograft is a good valve substitute due attributes like excellent hemodynamics, low incidence of thromboembolic events, infection resistance and good mid-term durability. However, progressive homograft degeneration and fibrocalcification may occur, particularly in the childhood and young adults. Their antigenicity triggers an immunological reaction that plays an important role in their degeneration and failure. The decellularization process was proposed to decrease this antigenicity. ...

Obesity is considered a worldwide public health problem showing an increased prevalence in developing countries, with urgent need for new and more efficient drugs and therapies. Enalapril, an angiotensin-I converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi), is classically used in anti-hypertensive therapies, however, earlier publications have shown that this drug could also have significant impact on body weight in rats as well as in humans, besides reducing blood pressure.

The occurrence of conjoined twins is rare. Its actual prevalence is unknown, but it is estimated to range from 1:50,000 to 1:200,000 with a higher level of incidence in Southwest Asia and Africa where an occurrence of 1:14,000 to 1:25,000 is observed, with a female predominance ratio of 3:1. Its etiology is unknown, but an incomplete division of the zygote between 13th and 15th days after fertilization probably occurs. About 40% to 60% of the conjoined twins are born alive, [...]
