This study investigated the use of eye-tracking glasses to monitor visual behaviour when reading from electronic devices and paper in free-viewing conditions. The Tobii-Pro-Glasses were used to monitor 20 subjects with normal vision during reading tasks. Reading was performed in a smartphone, computer, paper and tablet. Texts from the IReST-test were read in devices in a random order. Participants read one text in each device and then repeated the same task 1 hour later; in total each participant ...

Two new natural products, N-(2-methyl-3-oxodec-8-enoyl)-2-pyrroline (2) and 2-(hept-5-enyl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-6,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-4H-pyrrolo[2,1-b]-1,3-oxazine (3), have been isolated from Penicillium brevicompactum Dierckx. Compound 2 has shown an important in vivo anti-juvenile-hormone (anti-JH) activity while compound 3 has exhibited insecticidal activity against Oncopeltus fasciatus Dallas. Both products have been synthesized starting from 1,4-hexadiene, by means of a sequence of reactions which includes ...

New analogues of the bioactive enamides isolated from P. brevicompactum (2 and 3) have been synthesized to improve the biological activities. Two different structural modifications have been introduced: substitution of the aliphatic side chain present in the natural products (1−4) by other groups frequently found in other active compounds and use of other nitrogen-containing five-membered rings with different degrees of oxidation. In this way, the insecticidal and fungicidal activities have been improved. ...

Four cases of phaeohyphomycosis in the form of chronic and isolated cysts are presented. The cysts were strictly confined to the subcutaneous tissue, with no involvement of the corresponding skin. Patients were asymptomatic, without satellite lesions or regional lymphadenopathy. The clinicopathologic importance of this type of phaeohyphomycosis is discussed. As far as we know, our cases are the first described from Brazil.
