Abstract
INTRODUCTION The selection of appropriate outcomes in clinical trials and systematic reviews is a crucial factor in determining the results that are useful, reliable, and relevant for both patients and healthcare professionals. Clinicians and researchers have been encouraged to develop and apply core outcome sets (COS) to minimise the discrepancy between studies. AIM This systematic review is the first phase of the COS development project for clinical trials in temporomandibular disorders (COS-TMD). It aims to identify and synthesise the outcomes used in the randomised controlled trials (RCT) that evaluated the effectiveness of interventions used in TMD management. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was performed in several databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and EMBASE. The eligibility criteria comprised RCT that applied any intervention to treat temporomandibular joint disorders or masticatory muscle disorders. The identified outcomes were categorised according to domains of the Initiative on Methods, Measurement and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT). RESULTS The electronic search resulted in 1606 studies. After removing duplicates and applying the eligibility criteria, 106 RCT were included. A total of 43 studies evaluated masticatory muscle disorders, 27 evaluated temporomandibular joint disorders, and 36 analysed mixed TMD. CONCLUSIONS The evaluation showed significant variability in the types of outcomes and their measurement instruments. In addition, some domains such as physical and emotional functioning, participant ratings of global improvement and adverse events have been neglected when determining the effectiveness of treatments for TMD.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint disorders are associated with pain and reduced jaw mobility. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term effect on pain of intra-articular TMJ injections of betamethasone, sodium hyaluronate and platelet-rich plasma. The sample was made up of 114 patients, who were randomly distributed into three groups at least three years ago and who achieved a total remission of pain after treatment. We found that the median number of months without pain was, according to each group, as follows: platelet-rich plasma: 33; sodium hyaluronate: 28; betamethasone: 19. Both platelet-rich plasma and sodium hyaluronate lead to significant pain-free time after treatment; when we compare bethametasone with the two other substances, it proved to be very ineffective.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide evidence-based guidance specific to allied health and nursing practice for the assessment and management of individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen key focus areas were identified in consultation with health professionals and consumer advocacy groups. A series of systematic literature reviews were conducted to identify assessment and management strategies for each key focus area. A consensus process using modified Delphi methodology, including an Australia-New Zealand expert consensus meeting, was conducted. Recommendations underwent consultative review with key groups before being finalised and prepared for dissemination. RESULTS This clinical practice guideline (CPG) generated 19 evidence-based recommendations, 117 consensus-based recommendations and five research recommendations across the 13 focus areas to inform allied health assessment and management of individuals with DMD. CONCLUSIONS The resulting recommendations can be used in conjunction with existing medical CPGs to improve, standardise and advocate for allied health and rehabilitation care in DMD. The process used here may be useful for the development of CPGs in other rare diseases.Implications for rehabilitationImplementation-ready evidence-based statements to guide clinical care of individuals with DMD are provided with the potential to improve participation, function in the community and quality of life.A model for developing best practice statements for other rare neurological diseases is described.Allied health and nursing health professionals should focus research efforts to generate quality evidence to support rehabilitation practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs) are associated with pain and reduced jaw mobility. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of patients with TMJ arthralgia when submitted to four different treatment modalities, in some cases using intra-articular injections of substances with anti-inflammatory properties and in others, a more conservative approach consisting only of a bite splint. Materials and Methods: The sample was made up of 80 patients, randomly distributed into 4 groups of 20 patients each. Each patient was given a nocturnal bite splint. One of the groups was treated with the bite splint only, while each patient in the other 3 was injected with betamethasone, sodium hyaluronate, or platelet-rich plasma in addition to using the bite splint. Two variables were assessed, namely pain intensity between 0 to 10 according to the visual analogue scale and maximum pain-free mouth opening in mm. The patients were evaluated at four different points: at the beginning of the treatment, as well as one week, one month and six months after initiation. RESULTS The results showed that maximum pain-free mouth opening improved in all the groups that made up the sample, with either a reduction in pain severity or with no pain. However, the group injected with platelet-rich plasma yielded the best results after six months, while patients treated with sodium hyaluronate or betamethasone obtained the best results at the end of the first week. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that all the treatments used caused a reduction in pain and increased pain-free mouth opening. The splint combined with the platelet-rich plasma injection achieved long-term success.

Abstract
The halophyte species Plantago coronopus has several described ethnomedicinal uses, but few reported biological activities. This work carried out for the first time a comparative analysis of P. coronopus organs in terms of phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of organic and water extracts from roots, leaves and flowers. The leaves contents in selected nutrients, namely amino acids and minerals, are also described. Roots (ethyl acetate and methanol extracts) had the highest radical scavenging activity (RSA) towards 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, while leaves (hexane extract) had higher RSA on nitric oxide radical and iron chelating ability. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis identified eighteen phenolics from which salicylic acid and epicatechin are here firstly described in Plantago species. Leaves had mineral levels similar to those of most vegetables, proving to be a good source for elements like calcium, sodium, iron and magnesium, and also for several of the essential amino acids justifying it use as food. Our results, especially those regarding the phenolics composition, can explain the main traditional uses given to this plantain and, altogether, emphasize the potential of P. coronopus as a source of bioactive molecules particularly useful for the prevention of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Classical methodologies for Salmonella detection may be too long in time to assure public safety. Presently, one of the fastest assays for Salmonella detection using the mini-VIDAS(®) system is the Easy Salmonella protocol. This assay, developed for food matrixes analysis, was here assessed for the applicability on the detection of these bacteria in transitional and saltwaters. The presence of Salmonella was detected in 4.2 % of the samples studied. In these transitional waters, the proposed protocol presented an efficiency of 79.1 %, due to a high false positive rate (20.8 %), and a false negative rate of 0 %-implying reducing analysis time, the use of enrichment broths, and making it more cost effective. Despite the multitude of samples nature, the method here described revealed to be an efficient and promising tool for transitional waters analysis.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma is genetically one of the simplest malignant tumors in adults. Initiation of these tumors is dependent of an oncogenic mutation in the GNAQ or GNA11 genes present in almost all cases. The nature of second mutational events is of major interest as it monosomy 3, gain of 8q and BAP1 inactivation are associated with unfavorable prognosis while SF3BI or EIF1AX are of good prognosis. Despite their common lineage, cutaneous and uveal melanomas are distinct diseases, implicating different oncogenic pathways and contrasting mutational landscapes. Even if uveal melanoma is a simple tumor, it is also one of the deadliest tumors in adults. There is a major clinical need for drugs targeting either the downstream pathways of Gαq and Gα11 or the biological cell functions dysregulated by BAP1 loss of function.

Abstract
Background: Trials have shown benefit of adjuvant trastuzumab (TZM) for node-positive (N+) or T1c+ HER2−positive breast carcinomas.
Methods: Retrospective series in 6 french cancer centers from 2000 to 2010 of T1abN0M0 HER2 positive breast carcinomas. Multifocal tumors were excluded.
Results: Two hundred five N- cases were retrieved. Median size was 8 mm (range, 2 to 10 mm), 51 were T1a (25%), 152 tumors were T1b; 120 tumors (59 %) exhibited significant hormonal receptors (HR) expression. All patients had surgery, 65 % (n= 133) had a local irradiation. Ninety percent of HR+ patients (108/120) received hormonotherapy: 77 received aromatase inhibitors (AI) upfront or sequential; 23 received tamoxifen (TAM) alone 13 received LHRH agonists alone or in combination with TAM or AI. Forty-nine percent (n= 101) had chemotherapy (CT) (Anthracycline alone for 41 cases, taxane alone for 31 cases, sequential A/T for 28 cases and concurrent for 1 case), associated with TZM in 90 cases. TZM was administered without chemotherapy in 3 cases. Decision of adjuvant CT and/or TZM was associated with (all p<0.05) HR-negative status, Elston-Ellis grade 2/3 and high mitotic index (MI) while patients with HR+/ low MI tumors were rarely treated (p<0.01). With a 41 months median follow-up, there was a statistically significant difference in invasive recurrences between TZM treated patients and others (log-rank test p=0.04). Twelve of the 112 patients treated without TZM (11%) had a recurrent invasive disease including 6 metastatic cases and 3 fatal events. There was one invasive recurrence in TZM group. There were as much recurrences in T1a as in T1b tumors. Three of the 12 recurrences (25%) in the group without TZM occurred in T1a cases.
Conclusion: T1abN0M0 HER2 positive tumors have a significant risk of recurrence which could be avoided by adjuvant chemotherapy associated with TZM. Interestingly, there were no differences in the risk of recurrence between T1a and T1b. Adjuvant chemotherapy associated with TZM should not only be discussed in T1bN0 HER2−positive tumors but also in T1aN0 HER2−positive cases.

Abstract
The most clinically important blood group systems in transfusion medicine, excluding the ABO system, are the RH, Kell, and Kidd systems. Alloantibodies to antigens of these systems may be produced following blood transfusion or during pregnancy and can result in serious hemolytic transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the newborn. We developed rapid and robust techniques for RHD, RHCE, KEL, and JK genotyping with the use of a real-time polymerase chain reaction instrument. Two fluorescence-based methods for the detection of amplification products were used: for KEL1/KEL2, JK1/JK2, and RHE/RHe (exon 5) we used the hybridization probes protocol; for RHC/RHc the analysis was done in sequences of exon 1 for RHC and exon 2 for RHc; and for RHD, analysis was done in sequences of intron 4, exon 7, and exon 4 pseudogene using the SYBR Green I protocol. The genotyping tests were validated with samples from 85 Caucasian Portuguese and 15 Black European blood donors. Complete phenotype-genotype correlations were obtained. The potential use of the presented methods can be predicted in clinical transfusion medicine, allowing appropriate monitoring, early intervention, and improved care. When blood group genotyping techniques are necessary, this methodology is highly competitive for a routine laboratory.

Abstract
Expression of the Kell blood group system is dependent on two proteins, Kell and XK, that are linked by a single disulfide bond. Kell, a type II membrane glycoprotein, is a zinc endopeptidase, while XK, which has 10 transmembrane domains, is a putative membrane transporter. A rare phenotype termed Kell null (Ko) is characterized by the absence of Kell protein and Kell antigens from the red cell membrane and diminished amounts of XK protein. We determined the molecular basis of eight unrelated persons with Ko phenotypes by sequencing the coding and the intron-exon splice regions of KEL and, in some cases, analysis of mRNA transcripts and expression of mutants on the cell surface of transfected cells. Six subjects were homozygous: four with premature stop codons, one with a 5' splice site mutation, G to A, in intron 3, and one with an amino acid substitution (S676N) in exon 18. Two Ko persons with premature stop codons had identical mutations in exon 4 (R128Stop), another had a different mutation in exon 4 (C83Stop), and the fourth had a stop codon in exon 9 (Q348Stop). Two Ko persons were heterozygous for two mutations. One had a 5' splice site mutation (G to A) in intron 3 of one allele that caused aberrant splicing and exon skipping, and the other allele had an amino acid substitution in exon 10 (S363N). The other heterozygote had the same amino acid substitution in exon 10 (S363N) in one allele and a premature stop codon in exon 6 (R192Stop) in the other allele. The S363N and S676N mutants, expressed in 293T cells, were retained in a pre-Golgi compartment and were not transported to the cell surface, indicating that these mutations inhibit trafficking. We conclude that several different molecular defects cause the Kell null phenotype.

Abstract
Gentamicin has an excellent cost/efficacy ratio for gram negative infections treatment. Its use is often limited in clinical practice by its narrow safety margins and a high incidence of toxicity. Gentamicin related nephrotoxicity is a major adverse effect, mostly in patients with other concomitant potential risk factors. As many other Authors we have found in our Internal Medicine Service during 1992 a gentamicin related nephrotoxicity incidence of 22.5%. Various empiric methods and nomograms have shown a significant incidence of error in predicting individualized gentamicin dosage regimens. Pharmacokinetics methods have demonstrated much better results regarding efficacy and toxicity. The aim of this prospective study carried out during 1993-1994 was to individualize by pharmacokinetics methods dosage regimens of gentamicin in patients with one or more concomitant risk factors of nephrotoxicity. The purpose of pharmacokinetics dosage regimens has been to achieve trough serum concentrations of gentamicin in therapeutics range-0.5 to 2 micrograms/ml-on the first 24 to 48 hours of treatment, and the maintenance in this range during all the treatment, avoiding both toxic and under therapeutic levels. The incidence of gentamicin related nephrotoxicity has been evaluated in this population. Twenty patients were studied: 18 males and 2 females aged 59.6 years (19 to 85). All had one or more potential risk factors for nephrotoxicity-65 years or more: 13, previous renal failure: 6, other nephrotoxic drugs: 10, diuretics: 4, dehydration: 5, congestive heart failure: 5, diabetes: 3, hypertension: 3. For the first 10 patients gentamicin dosage regimens have been determined by Sawchuk-Zaske pharmacokinetics method and for the subsequent 10 patients by Bayesian method. The two subpopulations had no significant differences regarding mean age, sex and potential risk factors for nephrotoxicity. Results of Sawchuk-Zaske method: 53 trough gentamicin serum concentration were obtained; 86.8% were within the therapeutic range, 7.5% were toxic and 5.7% were under therapeutic. Results of Bayesian method: 44 determinations of gentamicin through concentrations were obtained; 86.3% within therapeutic range, 2.4% were toxic and 11.3% were under therapeutic. A great variability in pharmacokinetic patient's profile has been found and explains the great variability of individualized dosage regimens of gentamicin (30 to 320 mg/day). No patients had gentamicin related nephrotoxicity. Both pharmacokinetics methods lead to a efficient and save employment of gentamicin in patients with previous renal failure and other potential risk factors for nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The occurrence of different viruses in nasopharyngeal secretions from children less than 5 years old with acute respiratory infections (ARI) was investigated over a period of 4 years (1982-1985) in Rio de Janeiro. Of the viruses known to be associated with ARI, all but influenza C and parainfluenza types 1, 2 and 4 were found. Viruses were found more frequently in children attending emergency or pediatric wards than in outpatients. This was clearly related to the high incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the more severe cases of ARI. RSV positive specimens appeared mainly during the fall, over four consecutive years, showing a clear seasonal occurrence of this virus. Emergency wards provide the best source of data for RSV surveillance, showing sharp increase in the number of positive cases coinciding with increased incidence of ARI cases. Adenovirus were the second most frequent viruses isolated and among these serotypes 1, 2 and 7 were predominant. Influenza virus and parainfluenza virus type 3 were next in frequency. Influenza A virus were isolated with equal frequency in outpatient departments, emergency and pediatric wards. Influenza B was more frequent among outpatients. Parainfluenza type 3 caused outbreaks in the shanty-town population annually during the late winter or spring and were isolated mainly from outpatients. Herpesvirus, enterovirus and rhinovirus were found less frequently. Other viruses than RSV and parainfluenza type 3 did not show a clear seasonal incidence.

Abstract
The influence of divergent splint-adjusted maximum intercuspation on head posture during prolonged phases of clenching was studied in five subjects. During clenching in maximum intercuspation profound changes of head posture were observed, if intercuspation was not harmonized with an upright posture of head and body. Since the interrelation between occlusion and head posture is established a comprehensive approach of orthopedic, physiotherapeutic, and dental measures, in particular for the therapy of myoarthropathy patients with cervical spine symptoms seems appropriate. Occlusal corrections and determination of occlusal relations must always be made or at least checked in the upright relaxed patient with the head straight.
