Abstract
Paget disease of bone is a focal disorder of bone metabolism; it is characterized by an accelerated rate of bone remodeling, with profound changes in the bone structure, making it fragile. This condition affects approximately 2% to 5% of the population older than 40. The main clinical manifestations of Paget's disease are pain and bone deformity, although the majority of patients are asymptomatic. Psoriatic Arthritis is a spondyloarthritis with a prevalence of about 0,1%. It is characterized by the presence of arthritis, enthesitis and/or dactylitis associated with a familiar or personal history of psoriasis. Several clinical patterns of joint involvement in psoriatic arthritis have been identified, namely, the polyarticular pattern, similar to rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis precedes skin disease in approximately 13 to 17 % of the cases. The authors report a clinical case of a 60 years old patient with polyarthritis and dactylitis who was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and Paget's disease of bone. The concomitance of the two entities, in the same individual, with so different pathogenesis and clinical features, have never been described on literature. Because of the complexity on the clinical and imaging evaluation as the result of the coexistence of both pathologies, the authors consider relevant to publish this singular case.

Abstract
Recently, using hybrid Ad5/12 E1A-transformed rat cells, we identified at least two regions of Ad12 E1A which influence tumorigenicity. In this report, again using the hybrid Ad5/12 E1A-transformants, we show that expression of these same two Ad12 E1A regions not only correlates with down-regulation of cell surface MHC class I expression, but coincides with the presence of an altered form of the E1A-associated cellular protein, p300, detected as a more slowly migrating species in SDS-polyacrylamide gels. The decreased electrophoretic mobility of p300 from hybrid Ad5/12 E1A- and Ad12 E1A-transformants can be abolished by protein phosphatase treatment suggesting that the change in mobility results from differential phosphorylation of p300. We suggest that differential phosphorylation of p300 may be functionally significant in the context of phenotypic differences between Ad5 E1- and Ad12 E1-transformed cells.

Abstract
In this study we examined the acute in vivo effect and short- and long-term in vitro effects of samples from native and commercial Ilex paraguariensis on glucose homeostasis. Also, the potential effect of I. paraguariensis on serum insulin secretion was investigated. The chemical identification and quantification of methyl xanthines and polyphenols in CH₂Cl₂, EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions of native I. paraguariensis as well as infusions of green and roasted I. paraguariensis from a commercial source was verified by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results for the serum glucose-lowering indicated that both fractions and both infusions were able to improve significantly the oral glucose tolerance curve. Additionally, both the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions induced-insulin secretion, but EtOAc induced an early (at 15 min) and late (at 60 min) biphasic peak of insulin secretion similar to glipizide stimulatory effect. Both fractions increased liver glycogen content compared with fasted normal rats. Also, EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions inhibited in vitro disaccharidases activities after an acute treatment. The maximum inhibitory effect of the EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions on maltase activity (at 5 min) was around 35%. The evident reduction of protein glycation by glucose or fructose with EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions increased from 7 to 28 days of in vitro incubation. Inhibition of bovine serum albumin glycation by glucose and fructose, by around 50% and 90%, respectively, was observed. Additionally, the green and roasted mate infusions reduced the formation of AGEs in a characteristic long-term effect. In conclusion, this study shows that I. paraguariensis has an anti-hyperglycemic potential role able to improve the diabetic status and is probably a source of multiple hypoglycemic compounds.

Abstract
Digital stethoscopes are medical devices that can collect, store and sometimes transmit acoustic auscultation signals in a digital format. These can then be replayed, sent to a colleague for a second opinion, studied in detail after an auscultation, used for training or, as we envision it, can be used as a cheap powerful tool for screening cardiac pathologies. In this work, we present the design, development and deployment of a prototype for collecting and annotating auscultation signals within real hospital environments. Our main objective is not only pave the way for future unobtrusive systems for cardiac pathology screening, but more immediately we aim to create a repository of annotated auscultation signals for biomedical signal processing and machine learning research. The presented prototype revolves around a digital stethoscope that can stream the collected audio signal to a nearby tablet PC. Interaction with this system is based on two models: a data collection model adequate for the uncontrolled hospital environments of both emergency room and primary care, and a data annotation model for offline metadata input. A specific data model was created for the repository. The prototype has been deployed and is currently being tested in two Hospitals, one in Portugal and one in Brazil.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to case definition, in knee, hip and hand joints. METHOD A systematic review was carried out in PUBMED and SCOPUS databases comprising the date of publication period from January 1995 to February 2011. We attempted to summarise data on the incidence and prevalence of OA according to different methods of assessment: self-reported, radiographic and symptomatic OA (clinical plus radiographic). Prevalence estimates were combined through meta-analysis and between-study heterogeneity was quantified. RESULTS Seventy-two papers were reviewed (nine on incidence and 63 on prevalence). Higher OA prevalences are seen when radiographic OA definition was used for all age groups. Prevalence meta-analysis showed high heterogeneity between studies even in each specific joint and using the same OA definition. Although the knee is the most studied joint, the highest OA prevalence estimates were found in hand joints. OA of the knee tends to be more prevalent in women than in men independently of the OA definition used, but no gender differences were found in hip and hand OA. Insufficient data for incidence studies didn't allow us to make any comparison according to joint site or OA definition. CONCLUSIONS Radiographic case definition of OA presented the highest prevalences. Within each joint site, self-reported and symptomatic OA definitions appear to present similar estimates. The high heterogeneity found in the studies limited further conclusions.
