Editor, Radiation retinopathy is a potentially severe complication of radiation therapy of ocular, nasal and paranasal malignancies. It is associated with slowly progressive vasculopathy, which may lead to capillary non-perfusion, large vessel occlusion, retinal vascular incompetence, neovascularization and other sequelae (Maguire & Schachat 2001). It has been shown that the radiation dose and the area irradiated are the most important risk factors in the development of this complication (Takeda et ...

In neurologically critically ill patients with mechanical ventilation (MV), the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality, but the role of ventilatory management has been scarcely evaluated. We evaluate the association of tidal volume, level of PEEP and driving pressure with the development of ARDS in a population of patients with brain injury. We performed a secondary analysis of a prospective, observational study on mechanical ventilation. ...

Agricultural expansion generates problems to ecosystems and hinders conservation efforts. Although several researchers worldwide are working to develop efficient approaches for conserving biodiversity adequately, certain decisions should be taken urgently. Here, by using two entire classes of vertebrates (amphibians and reptiles), we calculated optimal conservation area networks (CANs) under nine different scenarios (including three different degrees of land-use and three different degrees of ambition ...

Purpose of review Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are diseases with a significant influence in the public health. A better knowledge of their epidemiology could help to improve the outcome of these diseases. Recent findings Although the clinical criteria of the American-European Consensus Conference definitions for ALI and ARDS are simple, there is a risk of misclassification due to a poor reliability. Except for new emerging infectious diseases, such as severe ...

Color patterns and melanism have been focus of evolutionary studies in a wide variety of taxa, including lizards, and are often associated with certain ecological attributes. However, within the genus Liolaemus, only some particular aspects of melanism have been studied in a few species of the L. fitzingerii group. Populations of these species show different degrees of melanism with respect to both the intensity and location of black pigment, that in some cases have been used as diagnostic characters ...
