Abstract
Anthropogenic activities have decimated the Atlantic Forest domain (AF) and increased the pressure on freshwater biota, such as Trichoptera, which is the most affected order by the current insect decline. Adult mobility is crucial for the colonisation of new environments unconnected by water sources. In this article, we describe the assemblage of caddisflies in a preserved AF fragment related to their functional feeding group and provide empirical data on the patterns of horizontal and vertical flight. Adults were collected using white sheet and light attraction traps, placed at different distances and heights from a stream in Pernambuco, Brazil. A total of 2934 specimens of 15 species from five families were collected, mostly collector-filterers. Horizontal flight was limited, with 80% of the abundance concentrated up to 20 m. Vertical stratification was also concentrated at lower heights. A female-biased proportion was observed at higher strata. The richness and abundance of species decreased with increasing distances and heights from the stream. Overall, Chimarra sp. and Macrostemum scharfi were the dominant species. Trichoptera is a key taxon used as a biological indicator of water quality, and here, knowledge on the diversity and flight patterns of adults is expanded. At the risk of intensive pollution of rivers in Atlantic forests, data on the adult dispersal can be incorporated in the assessment of endangerment status and in conservation strategies.

Abstract
This study investigated the morphology of Rhinella crucifer cutaneous glands, as well as the protein/peptide profiles and bioactivities of body gland secretions (BGS) and parotoid macrogland secretions (PS). The parotoid as well as dorsal and ventral skin fragments of male and female individuals were processed for histological analysis. The protein and peptide profiles of male and female gland secretions were evaluated. Male secretions were also assessed for proteolytic, trypsin inhibiting, hemagglutinating, hemolytic, antimicrobial, and anticoagulant activities. The R. crucifer skin structure presented protuberances that are clearly visible and formed by the integument, which has cutaneous glands throughout the body. An average of 438 and 333 glands were identified in males in females, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the distribution of glands across the body as well as for area and perimeter of glands. Differences were observed in protein composition between the PS and BGS from males and females, and secretions from animals collected from undisturbed and anthropogenically disturbed areas. Proteins with similarities to catalase and elongation factor 1-alpha were detected in the PS. Zymography revealed proteolytic activity in both male BGS and PS. Male BGS showed antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli and anticoagulant activity, being able to prolong prothrombin time by 6.34-fold and activated partial thromboplastin time by 2.17-fold. Finally, male PS and BGS caused a maximum hemolysis degree of 1.4%. The data showed that the cutaneous secretions of R. crucifer are potentially promising for biotechnological prospecting.

Abstract
A sedentary lifestyle, coupled with a decrease in estrogen, impairs bone homeostasis, favoring to the development of osteopenia and osteoporosis, both recognized as risk factors for fractures. Here, we investigated the quality of the femur, particularly the femur neck region, and the ambulation performance of senescent rats subjected to three different physical training protocols during the periestropause period. Forty-eight female rats, 18 months of age, were subjected to a 120-day training period, three times a week. The rats were distributed into four groups: aerobic training (AT), strength training (ST), concurrent training (CT), or no training (NT). After the experimental period, at 21 months of age, ambulation performance and femur were analyzed using microtomography, Raman stereology, densitometry, and mechanical strength tests. The results demonstrated greater remodeling activity and improvement in resistance and bone microarchitecture in the femur neck of senescent female rats after undergoing physical training. Our verified higher intensities of bands related to collagen, phosphate, amide III, and amide I. Furthermore, the analysis of the secondary collagen structures indicated alterations in the collagen network due to the exercise, resulting in increased bone strength. Both AT and strength-based training proved beneficial, with AT showing greater adaptations in bone density and stiffness in the femur, while strength-based training greater adaptations in trabecular and cortical structure. These insights contribute to the understanding of the potential interventions for preventing osteopenia and osteoporosis, which are critical risk factors for fractures.

Abstract
Perimenopause is a critical period, with severe cycle irregularity and lower estrogen secretion altering redox state biomarkers, leading to behavioral changes. The estrogen hormonal therapy (EHT) being commonly used to alleviate climacteric effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze anxiolytic profile, recognition memory (short and long term), ambulation, redox status, cell synaptic activity in locus coeruleus and hippocampus of Wistar rats in the periestropause after EHT. Forty rats participated in the study; 20 were treated with corn oil (group 21Mo/Veh; corn oil/0.2 mL/sc; 2x/week) and 20 were submitted to EHT (group 21Mo/E2; 17β-estradiol/15 μg/Kg/sc; 2x/week) for 120 days. Open field, elevated plus maze, object recognition (RO), and footprint tests were performed immediately before and at the end of the treatment period. From the decapitated brains, isolated hippocampus were destined for biochemical analysis, in turn, perfused brains were destined for histological analysis. The 21Mo/E2 group had a significantly greater total time in the central region and a significantly greater number of entries into the open arms compared to the 21Mo/Veh group, as in crossing, rearing and grooming behaviors, evidencing an anxiolytic profile. In the RO test, the 21Mo/Veh group decreased long-term memory, and the 21Mo/E2 group maintained the same index as at 17 months of age, in addition to a better balance of the hippocampal redox state, prevention of neuronal cell loss and better gait. Based on the results, it appears that exogenous E2 supplementation during periestropause may help preserve neurological functions and potentially prevent neuropsychological and neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the influence of sound stimulation on heart rate and the potential coupling between cardiac and cerebral activities. Thirty-one participants underwent exposure to periods of silence and two distinct continuous, non-repetitive pure tone stimuli: low pitch (110 Hz) and high pitch (880 Hz). Electroencephalography (EEG) data from electrodes F3, F4, F7, F8, Fp1, Fp2, T3, T4, T5, and T6 were recorded, along with R-R interval data for heart rate. Heart-brain connectivity was assessed using wavelet coherence between heart rate variability (HRV) and EEG envelopes (EEGE). Heart rates were significantly lower during high and low-pitch sound periods than in silence (p < 0.002). HRV-EEGE coherence was significantly lower during high-pitch intervals than silence and low-pitch sound intervals (p < 0.048), specifically between the EEG Beta band and the low-frequency HRV range. These results imply a differential involvement of the frontal and temporal brain regions in response to varying auditory stimuli. Our findings highlight the essential nature of discerning the complex interrelations between sound frequencies and their implications for heart-brain connectivity. Such insights could have ramifications for conditions like seizures and sleep disturbances. A deeper exploration is warranted to decipher specific sound stimuli's potential advantages or drawbacks in diverse clinical scenarios.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) and its composition in aquatic ecosystems is a key indicator of ecosystem function and an important component of the global carbon cycle. Tropical rainforest headwaters play an important role in global carbon cycling. However, there is a large uncertainty on how DOM sources interact during mobilisation and the potential fate of associated carbon and nutrients. Using field techniques to measure dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration and composition, changes in DOM source from headwaters to larger downstream rivers were observed. This study shows that the hydrological connectivity, developed during the transition from dry to wet seasons, changes the DOM supply and transport across a tropical river catchment. The observed variability in the DOC-river discharge relationship provides further evidence of the changes in the DOM supply in a small headwater. This novel insight into the seasonal changes of the dynamics of DOM supply to the river helps understanding the mobilization of terrestrial DOM to tropical headwaters and its export from smaller to larger rivers. It also highlights the data gap in the study of smaller headwaters which may account for uncertainty in estimating the terrestrial carbon transported by inland waters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have demonstrated a high likelihood of malocclusions resulting from non-nutritive sucking. Consequently, quantifying the impact of pacifiers can potentially aid in preventing the development or exacerbation of malocclusions and guide the design of improved performance pacifiers. METHODS This work proposes and assesses a computational methodology that can effectively gather crucial information and provide more precise data regarding the consequences of non-nutritive pacifier sucking. The computational framework utilized is based on solids4Foam [1, 2], a collection of numerical solvers developed within the OpenFOAM® computational library [3]. The computational model focuses on the palate of a six-month-old baby and incorporates various components such as palate tissues, pacifier and tongue, and considers the negative intraoral pressure generated and the tongue displacement. Different models were tested, each offering varying levels of detail in representing the palate structure. These models range from a simplified approach, with one tissue, to a more intricate representation, involving up to five different tissues, offering a more comprehensive palate model compared to existing literature. RESULTS The analysis of results involved examining the distribution of stress on the palate surface, as well as the displacement and forces exerted on the dental crowns. By comparing the obtained results, it was possible to evaluate the precision of the approaches previously described in the literature. The findings revealed that the predictions were less accurate when using the simplified model with a single tissue for the palate, which is the most common approach proposed in the literature. In contrast, the results demonstrated that the palate model with the most intricate structure, incorporating five different tissues, yielded distinct outcomes compared to all other combinations. CONCLUSIONS The computational methodology proposed, employing the most detailed palate model, has demonstrated its effectiveness and necessity in obtaining accurate data on the impact of non-nutritive sucking habits, which are recognized as a primary contributor to the development of dental malocclusions. In the future, this approach could be extended to conduct similar studies encompassing diverse pacifier designs, sizes, and age groups. This would foster the design of innovative pacifiers that mitigate the adverse effects of non-nutritive sucking on orofacial structures.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test whether believed versus actual acute creatine ingestion impacted resistance exercise performance. Fifteen men (21.9 ± 2.7 years old) completed four bouts of three sets each of squat and bench press to volitional fatigue at a 10RM load with 1-min between-sets rest interval. Thirty minutes prior to each exercise bout, they received the following treatments in a randomized order: 1) nothing (CON); 2) 0.3 g·kg-1 dextrose placebo (PLC); 3) 0.3 g·kg-1 dextrose, identified as creatine (Cr-False); 4) 0.3 g·kg 20 -1 creatine, identified as creatine (CrTrue). Between-treatments comparisons included the total repetitions completed and the rate of perceived exertion. Results revealed (p < 0.05) higher repetitions performed for all treatments versus CON for both squat and bench press. In the squat, more repetitions were performed with Cr-True (p < 0.001) and CrFalse (p < 0.001) than with either CON or PLC. Bayes Factor analyses revealed strong (PLC to Cr-True BF = 19.1) and very strong (PLC to CrFalse BF = 45.3) posterior probability favouring positive effects for both "creatine" conditions over PLC for the squat. In conclusion, in acute measures, belief versus ingestion of creatine yields similar exercise performance.

Abstract
Periodontal and implant radiography, mainly including intra-oral peri-apical and cone beam computed tomography images, are crucial in the diagnosis and treatment planning process. However, radiation safety concerns have been a chronic concern over the years, leading to uncomfortable situations. It is therefore crucial to understand the actual radiation exposure to determine if the patients' fear of necessary diagnostic exams is justified. In this perspective article, we aimed to provide concise information on dental imaging exposure, risks, and benefits, comparing them to that of absorbed radiation from daily life activities; and secondarily, to help periodontists choose the best option for each case and become more confident in addressing patients' concerns and providing a summary of safety guidelines as a reference for them.

Abstract
The literature has shown a significant decrease in failure rates when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction was associated with an extra-articular reinforcement technique such as the anterolateral ligament (ALL) or the iliotibial band tenodesis (ITBT) using the modified Lemaire technique. As much as there is a progressive decrease in the failure rates of ACL reconstructions when the ALL reconstruction technique is associated, there are still and will be cases that will result in graft rupture. These cases will require more alternatives for revision, which are always challenging for the surgeon, where the lateral approaches represent complicating factors, especially because of the distortion of the lateral anatomy (by the previous approach for ALL reconstruction), previous reconstruction tunnels, and the presence of fixation materials. We present here a safe technique that offers great stability to the fixation of the graft and is easy to perform, using a single tunnel for the passage of the ACL and ITBT grafts, allowing a single fixation for both. In this way, we performed a lower-cost surgery, with a lower risk of lateral condyle fracture and tunnel confluence. This technique is indicated to be used in cases of revision after failure of combined ACL reconstruction with ALL.

Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension is a common complication during hemodialysis sessions. The analysis of successive RR interval variability using nonlinear methods represents a promising tool for evaluating the cardiovascular response to acute volemic changes. Thus, the present study aims to compare the variability of successive RR intervals between hemodynamically stable (HS) and unstable (HU) patients during a hemodialysis session, through linear and nonlinear methods. Forty-six chronic kidney disease patients volunteered in this study. Successive RR intervals and blood pressures were recorded throughout the hemodialysis session. Hemodynamic stability was defined based on the delta of systolic blood pressure (higher SBP-lower SBP). The cutoff for hemodynamic stability was defined as 30 mm Hg, and patients were stratified as: HS ([n = 21]: ≤29.9 mm Hg) or HU ([n = 25]: ≥30 mm Hg). Linear methods (low-frequency [LFnu] and high-frequency [HFnu] spectra) and nonlinear methods (multiscale entropy [MSE] for Scales 1-20, and fuzzy entropy) were applied. The area under the MSE curve at Scales 1-5 (MSE1-5), 6-20 (MSE6-20), and 1-20 (MSE1-20) were also used as nonlinear parameters. Frequentist and Bayesian inferences were applied to compare HS and HU patients. The HS patients exhibited a significantly higher LFnu and lower HFnu. For MSE parameters, Scales 3-20 were significantly higher, as well as MSE1-5, MSE6-20, and MSE1-20 in HS, when compared to HU patients (p < 0.05). Regarding Bayesian inference, the spectral parameters demonstrated an anecdotal (65.9%) posterior probability favoring the alternative hypothesis, while MSE exhibited moderate to very strong probability (79.4 to 96.3%) at Scales 3-20, and MSE1-5, MSE6-20, and MSE1-20. HS patients exhibited a higher heart-rate complexity than HU patients. In addition, the MSE demonstrated a greater potential than spectral methods to differentiate variability patterns in successive RR intervals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A sinus floor elevation via lateral window (LSFE) is one of the most widely used bone augmentation procedures for implant therapy in the posterior area of the maxilla. Locating and preparing a correct opening window on the lateral sinus wall is a key step of this procedure. Conventionally, the surgeon design and locate the window after the flap is reflected based upon the information obtained from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images or other diagnostic aids. Nevertheless, in spite of the advancements in CBCT imaging, clinicians may still experience hardship in situating and procuring meticulous access to the maxillary sinus by using CBCT alone. Therefore, in cases requiring a LSFE simultaneous to implant placement, a maxillary sinus surgical guide (MSSG) has been tested and reported to be the amiable method to be utilized as a conjunct, to prevent unpredictable consequences according to its application in implying both the direction for the implant and the location of the lateral window. CASE SERIES This article presents 3 clinical cases with a fully digital approach to guide the opening of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, as well as the simultaneous placement of a single implant in an ideal 3D position. Based on the CBCT images and intraoral scan, a surgical guide was fabricated base on 3D software. During the surgery, this teeth-supported template can be placed intraorally, guiding sinus window opening preparation. CONCLUSION This technique makes the sinus window opening procedure simple and predictable, reduces surgical time as well as the risk of complications, and allows the placement of the implant in the ideal 3D position.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a natural phenomenon and is becoming a huge global public health problem, since some microorganisms not respond to the treatment of several classes of antibiotics. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial, antibiofilm, and synergistic effect of triterpene 3β,6β,16β-trihydroxyilup-20(29)-ene (CLF1) against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. Bacterial susceptibility to CLF1 was evaluated by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assay. In addition, the effect combined with antibiotics (ampicillin and tetracycline) was verified by the checkerboard method. The biofilms susceptibility was assessed by enumeration of colony-forming units (CFUs) and quantification of total biomass by crystal violet staining. The compound showed bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against all Staphylococcal strains tested. The synergistic effect with ampicillin was observed only for S. epidermidis strains. Moreover, CLF1 significantly inhibited the biofilm formation and disrupted preformed biofilm of the all strains. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed changes in the cell morphology and structure of S. aureus ATCC 700698 biofilms (a methicillin-resistant S. aureus strain). Molecular docking simulations showed that CLF1 has a more favorable interaction energy than the antibiotic ampicillin on penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2a of MRSA, coupled in different regions of the protein. Based on the results obtained, CLF1 proved to be a promising antimicrobial compound against Staphylococcus biofilms.

Abstract
We investigated the magnitude of exercise-induced changes in muscular bioenergetics, redox balance, mitochondrial function, and gene expression within 24 h after the exercise bouts performed with different intensities, durations, and execution modes (continuous or with intervals). Sixty-five male Swiss mice were divided into four groups: one control (n = 5) and three experimental groups (20 animals/group), submitted to a forced swimming bout with an additional load (% of animal weight): low-intensity continuous (LIC), high-intensity continuous (HIC), and high-intensity interval (HII). Five animals from each group were euthanized at 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h postexercise. Gastrocnemius muscle was removed to analyze the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis (Ppargc1a), fusion (Mfn2), fission (Dnm1L), and mitophagy (Park2), as well as inflammation (Nos2) and antioxidant defense (Nfe2l2, GPx1). Lipid peroxidation (TBARS), total peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and citrate synthase (CS) activity were also measured. Lactacidemia was measured from a blood sample obtained immediately postexercise. Lactacidemia was higher the higher the exercise intensity (LIC < HIC < HII), while the inverse was observed for TBARS levels. The CS activity was higher in the HII group than the other groups. The antioxidant activity was higher 24 h postexercise in all groups compared to the control and greater in the HII group than the LIC and HIC groups. The gene expression profile exhibited a particular profile for each exercise protocol, but with some similarities between the LIC and HII groups. Taken together, these results suggest that the intervals applied to high-intensity exercise seem to minimize the signs of oxidative damage and drive the mitochondrial dynamics to maintain the mitochondrial network, similar to low-intensity continuous exercise.

Abstract
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a rare autosomal dominant disease that provokes systemic deposition of amyloid. It affects the nervous system and it is characterized by progressive sensory, motor, and autonomic neuropathy. Patients with FAP often require surgery and anesthetic care for hepatic transplantation and cardioverter-defibrillator/pacemaker implantation. Peripheric neuropathy is a common finding, but there are no reported cases of its interference with anesthetic neuromuscular transmission monitoring. We report a case of a FAP patient where lack of awareness and distracting factors led to misinterpretation of neuromuscular monitoring and unnecessary sedation and ventilation in the post anesthetic care unit. FAP may interfere with the usual cubital nerve neuromuscular monitoring. Anesthesiologists should be aware of potential neuromuscular compromise to find the best monitoring location for each patient. Sugammadex was safe and reliable in the antagonism of rocuronium neuromuscular blockade in this case, despite the lack of adequate quantitative monitoring.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with cardiovascular involvement being usual. Elevations in cardiac Troponin-I level has proposed as an independent biomarker for mortality among patients with COVID-19.
Aim
To evaluate the role of high sensivity Troponin-I (hs-TnI) level at hospital admission in predicting 30 day in-hospital mortality and 6-month mortality in patients hospitalized with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Methods
We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study including consecutive patients aged 18 years and older who were admitted for COVID-19, during a 1-year period (n=818). We excluded patients with acute coronary syndrome (n=23), patients with acute heart failure (n=42), and patients in which hs-TnI level was not dosed at admission (n=163). Patients were divided into two groups according to hs-TnI levels: hs-TnI <19.8 vs hs-TnI ≥19.8 pg/mL. Primary outcomes were 30-day in-hospital mortality and 6-months mortality. According to the data distribution, appropriate statistical tests were conducted to compare independent samples. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze mortality risk. Receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were obtained to determine the discriminative power of hs-TnI as a predictor of mortality. (Figure 1).
Results
This cohort included 590 patients. Mean age was 71 ≥±15 years and 52.4% were men. Overall, 209 patients (35.4%) had elevated hs-TnI levels and 381 patients had normal hs-TnI levels. Individuals in the hs-TnI ≥19.8 pg/mL group were older (80±11 vs 66±14 years, p<0.001) and presented higher prevalence of chronic heart failure (24.9% vs 7.1%, p<0.001), hypertension (77.0% vs 57.5%, p<0.001), atrial fibrillation/flutter (19.1% vs 5.5%, p<0.001), prior stroke (12.4% vs 5.2%, p=0.001) and ischemic heart disease (12.4% vs 3.7%, p<0.001). There was no difference in length of hospital stay between the groups (8.0 [IQR 9.6] in hs-TnI 19.8 pg/mL group vs 9.0 [IQR 8.0] normal hs-TnI group, p=0.669). Troponin-I was the only independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR 3.80, CI 95%: 2.44–5.93, p<0.001), see Table 1. The troponin levels had the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curv (AUC) with an AUC of 0.705 (95% CI: 0.667–0.742, p<0.001) for association with the in-hospital mortality (figure 1). There was no difference in 6-months mortality between the two groups.
Conclusion
Acute myocardial injury is common in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. In the present study a TnI level ≥19.8 pg/mL was predictor of 30 days in-hospital mortality, suggesting that raised levels of this biomarker is associated with adverse prognosis. This tool might be useful for COVID-19 patient risk stratification. Further studies are needed to provide robust data and reliable recommendations on this theme.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Myocardial work is a dynamic non-invasive method for assessing myocardial deformation. Microvascular dysfunction is a hallmark of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We hypothesized that there is an association between impaired myocardial work, evaluated by echocardiography, and left ventricular (LV) ischemia, detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Methods
Prospective assessment of HCM patients' (P) myocardial strain parameters with 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography. All P underwent CMR protocol (1.5-T) for the analysis of stress perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Perfusion defects were quantified as burden of ischemia (% of LV mass). Results were stratified according to obstructive (oHCM) and nonobstructive (nHCM) HCM as well as according to the presence of significant replacement fibrosis (LGE of ≥15% or <15% of LV mass). Multivariate regression analyses were used to explore the relation between myocardial work and the burden of ischemia.
Results
75 P with HCM (63% male, age 55±15 years), 61% with asymmetric septal LVH, 29% with apical LVH, 8% with concentric LVH and 28% exhibiting LV outflow tract obstruction (mean maximal LVOT gradient of 89±60 mmHg). Perfusion defects were found in 68 P (90.7%), with a mean of 22.5±16.9% of LV mass and 29 P (38.7%) had LGE ≥15% of LV mass.
A lower global work index (GWI) significantly correlated with higher burden of myocardial perfusion defects (r=−0.520, β-estimate −0.019, 95% CI −0.028 to −0.010, p<0.001). Likewise, impaired values of global work efficiency (GWE) were linked to higher percentage of hypoperfusion (r=−0.477, β-estimate −0.713, 95% CI −1.250 to −0.176, p<0.001). Moreover, impaired global constructive work (GCW) (r=−0.519, β-estimate −0.021, 95% CI −0.030 to −0.013, p<0.001) and a higher global wasted work (GWW) (r=0.280, p=0.017) were associated with a higher burden of perfusion defects (Figure 1).
GWI showed a higher correlation with perfusion defects in oHCM P (r=−0.518, p=0.019) vs. nHCM P (r=−0.492, p<0.001), and the same was also found with GWE (oHCM: r=−0.591, p=0.006 vs. nHCM: r=−0.317, p=0.022) (Figure 2A). Furthermore, GCW showed a slightly higher correlation with hypoperfusion in oHCM P (r=−0.564, p=0.010) vs. nHCM P (r=−0.520, p<0.001). There was no significant difference between oHCM and nHCM P regarding GWW.
In P with LGE ≥15%, GWI showed a better correlation with perfusion defects (r=−0.489, p=0.007) vs. P with LGE of <15% (r=−0.369, p=0.007). Moreover, GCW showed a higher correlation with hypoperfusion in P with LGE ≥15% (r=−0.455, p=0.013) comparing with P with LGE <15% LV mass (r=−0.359, p=0.019) (Figure 2B). No difference was found regarding GWE and GWW according to LGE burden.
Conclusion
In our cohort of P with HCM, impaired GWI, GWE and GCW and a higher GWW were significantly correlated with the presence of myocardial ischemia in CMR. This correlation was greater in P with oHCM and in P with LGE of ≥15% of LV mass.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite recent advances, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains the gold standard for most of the patients with aortic valve stenosis. The ageing population, with increased comorbidities and the rising of minimally invasive techniques, led to the development of new prosthetic devices of easier and faster implantation.
Purpose
This study aimed to analyse short and long-term outcomes of SAVR with rapid-deployment (RD) aortic bioprosthesis for isolated aortic valve stenosis
Method
Singe center, retrospective longitudinal cohort study of patients with isolated aortic valve stenosis who underwent elective aortic valve replacement using RD devices between 2014 and December 2021.
Continuous variables are presented with median (IQR) and were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test. Categorical variables are presented in percentage or frequency and were analyzed using chi-square test. Kaplan-Meyer survival curve was constructed base on collected data from national registry.
Results
A RD device was implanted in 358 patients with a median age of 75,8 years and Euroscore II of 2,3. Median cross clamp and extracorporeal circulation time were 27,4 and 36,7 min, respectively. No significant paravalvular leaks.
Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay was 3 days with acute renal lesion (any stage-53,2%; Dialysis-2,5%), need for hemodynamic support (63,1%) and new onset atrial fibrillation (33,6%) being the most frequent post-operative complications. Stroke occurred in 0,6% of cases and mortality was 1,1%. Pacemaker implementation rate of 11%.
The mean follow-up time was 6,7 years with 90% 5-years survival rate. Mean gradients of 11,2±4,8 mmHg at 6 months
Conclusion
Surgical treatment of aortic valve stenosis using RD devices is safe, with a low mortality rate. ICU length of stay and hospital length of stay are reduced. Follow-up shows an excellent long-term survival and hemodynamic performance.

Nephroprotective effect of exercise training in cisplatin-induced renal damage in mice: influence of training protocol. Braz J Med Biol Res 2022; 55:e12116.

Abstract
Cisplatin is an effective antineoplastic agent, but its use is limited by its nephrotoxicity caused by the oxidative stress in tubular epithelium of nephrons. On the other hand, regular exercise provides beneficial adaptations in different tissues and organs. As with many drugs, dosing is extremely important to get the beneficial effects of exercise. Thus, we aimed to investigate the influence of exercise intensity and frequency on cisplatin-induced (20 mg/kg) renal damage in mice. Forty male Swiss mice were divided into five experimental groups (n=8 per group): 1) sedentary; 2) low-intensity forced swimming, three times per week; 3) high-intensity forced swimming, three times per week; 4) low-intensity forced swimming, five times per week; and 5) high-intensity forced swimming, five times per week. Body composition, renal structure, functional indicators (plasma urea), lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activity, expression of genes related to antioxidant defense, and inflammatory and apoptotic pathways were evaluated. Comparisons considered exercise intensity and frequency. High lipid peroxidation was observed in the sedentary group compared with trained mice, regardless of exercise intensity and frequency. Groups that trained three times per week showed more benefits, as reduced tubular necrosis, plasma urea, expression of CASP3 and Rela (NFkB subunit-p65) genes, and increased total glutathione peroxidase activity. No significant difference in Nfe2l2 (Nrf2) gene expression was observed between groups. Eight weeks of regular exercise training promoted nephroprotection against cisplatin-mediated oxidative injury. Exercise frequency was critical for nephroprotection.

Abstract
Brejos de Altitude are evergreen seasonal forests, associated with plateau regions in the middle of the Caatinga domain in Northeast Brazil, which possibly acted as biological corridors between the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon rainforest during the Pleistocene. The first entomological survey in the highest point in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, the Brejo de Altitude de Triunfo, was implemented and resulted in a checklist of caddisflies with six families, nine genera, and eleven species, including a new species. Helicopsycheralphi sp. nov. is described and illustrated, based on all semaphoronts. A key to Brazilian Helicopsyche (Feropsyche) Johanson, 1998 species is also provided. In addition to the caddisfly survey in the Brejos de Altitude, the results include new records for the state, region, and also for the country. Thus, this study updates the number of species in the Brazilian Northeast region and Pernambuco state to 169 species and 43 species, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stratifying risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery allows clinicians to modify risk through targeted interventions and enhanced monitoring. In this study, we aimed to identify and validate prognostic models against a new consensus definition of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS We did a systematic review and international external validation cohort study. The systematic review was done in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on March 1, 2020, for articles published in English that reported on risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. External validation of existing models was done within a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥18 years) undergoing major abdominal surgery. Data were collected between Jan 1, 2019, and April 30, 2019, in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy summary statistics were compared between models for the 30-day postoperative pulmonary complication rate as defined by the Standardised Endpoints in Perioperative Medicine Core Outcome Measures in Perioperative and Anaesthetic Care (StEP-COMPAC). Model performance was compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCC). FINDINGS In total, we identified 2903 records from our literature search; of which, 2514 (86·6%) unique records were screened, 121 (4·8%) of 2514 full texts were assessed for eligibility, and 29 unique prognostic models were identified. Nine (31·0%) of 29 models had score development reported only, 19 (65·5%) had undergone internal validation, and only four (13·8%) had been externally validated. Data to validate six eligible models were collected in the international external validation cohort study. Data from 11 591 patients were available, with an overall postoperative pulmonary complication rate of 7·8% (n=903). None of the six models showed good discrimination (defined as AUROCC ≥0·70) for identifying postoperative pulmonary complications, with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score showing the best discrimination (AUROCC 0·700 [95% CI 0·683-0·717]). INTERPRETATION In the pre-COVID-19 pandemic data, variability in the risk of pulmonary complications (StEP-COMPAC definition) following major abdominal surgery was poorly described by existing prognostication tools. To improve surgical safety during the COVID-19 pandemic recovery and beyond, novel risk stratification tools are required. FUNDING British Journal of Surgery Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Evaluating the protective effect in human enamel of a fluorinated varnish after enduring a citric acid erosive challenge. METHODS An in vitro model was developed considering the intraoral environment, human saliva and acid erosive procedures. The evaluation of the enamel specimens was undertaken through the direct analysis of enamel by means of Raman spectroscopy and Energy Dispersive X Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF). Ten tooth specimens per group were analysed during three stages: 1- before treatment; 2- After varnish (treatment group) or toothpaste (control) application; 3- After citric acid cycle. Additionally, Particle Induced Gamma Ray emission (PIGE) was used to gauge the fluorine uptake by enamel after the application of the varnish (stage 2). Results were presented as mean and standard deviation with ANOVA and Tukey post hoc performed considering a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS A significant (p < 0.05) higher Ca levels were detected in treatment group at stage 2 (37.4 ± 0.4 w/w%) and 3 (37.1 ± 0.1) when compared to the control group. After varnish application in treatment group, depolarization ratios were significant lower (p < 0.05) and anisotropy were significant higher (p < 0.05), however no differences were detected in FWHM. CONCLUSIONS The use of a fluorinated dental varnish suggests a protective effect for human enamel against dental erosion demineralization process which was detectable in an in vitro model.

Abstract
The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been successfully used since the 1950s as part of an integrated pest management approach in large-scale programmes to prevent, contain, suppress and eradicate key insect pests in many countries throughout the world. During this period, over one trillion live sterile insects have been shipped across borders. The very few adverse incidents from this significant trade were managed and resulted in no significant impacts. The phytosanitary and zoosanitary requirements by importing countries have been simple, facilitating the transboundary shipment of sterile insects, which is carried out mostly under the framework of cooperative agreements between the governments of the countries involved, and under technical cooperation projects of the United Nations. However, the shipment of sterile insects from sources outside this governmental framework, including public-private facilities, has been complicated, despite the availability of harmonised international guidelines in some cases, such as those for fruit flies. The SIT has great potential for the control of endemic pests or against the growing threat of invasive pests that can affect whole regions and even continents. Since SIT is species-specific, with negligible risk of introducing unwanted invasive species to the environment, and with the advantage of reducing insecticide use, a harmonised framework that recognises the low risk of SIT would facilitate shipments of sterile insects across borders and help to expand the use of this effective and environmentally friendly technology. The scope of this paper is limited to insects that have been sterilised using ionising radiation.

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate risk factors associated with clinical mastitis in dairy cows in southern Chile between the first milk test after calving to 200 d in milk (DIM). Data from 8,772 cows were collected from June 2017 to November 2019 on 10 dairy farms selected by convenience in southern Chile. Data were analyzed using a multivariable mixed logistic regression using a manual backward selection process with logit link function and farm as a random effect. The dependent variable was clinical mastitis between the first milking sample collected by monthly milk sampling program up to 200 DIM. Days in milk, fat, urea, parity, season, and somatic cell counts were statistically associated with clinical mastitis in the first 200 d in milk. Cows with higher than average milk yield, parity, urea, and somatic cell count were at greater odds of being diagnosed with clinical mastitis compared with their respective referents. In contrast, higher milk fat was associated with lower odds of clinical mastitis. Significant interactions between days in milk with season and parity were observed, where for every 5-d increase in DIM, the odds of clinical mastitis decreased by different proportions depending on the interaction. Identified risk factors for clinical mastitis using first monthly milk sampling data can help dairy farmers in Chile implement herd-level mastitis prevention and control measures.

Abstract
Regular physical training and cigarette smoke exposure (CSE) have opposite effects on physical performance, antioxidant, and inflammatory profile. However, the interaction between these events is not well studied. We aimed to investigate how regular physical training and CSE interact, and in what is the outcome of this interaction on the physical performance, skeletal muscle antioxidant defense and molecular profile response of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8/group): 1) Sedentary group (SED); 2) 4 weeks of control, followed by 4 weeks of CSE (SED + CSEG); 3) Physically active (PA) along 8 weeks (forced swim training, 5 times a week); 4) Physically active and exposed to the cigarette smoke (PA + CSEG), group submitted to forced swim training for 4 weeks, followed by 4 weeks of concomitant training and CSE. Physical performance was evaluated before and after the experimental period (8 weeks), total peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, expression of genes encoding TNF-α, MCP-1, IL1β, IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β, HO-1 and the TNF-α/IL-10 ratio were determined from gastrocnemius muscle at the end of experimental period. The CSE attenuated the aerobic capacity adaptation (time to exhaustion in swimming forced test) promoted by physical training and inhibit the improvement in local muscle resistance (inverted screen test). The regular physical training enhanced the antioxidant defense, but the CSE abrogated this benefit. The CSE induced a harmful pro-inflammatory profile in skeletal muscle from sedentary animals whereas the regular physical training induced an opposite adaptation. Likewise, the CSE abolished the protective effect of physical training. Together, these results suggest a negative effect of CSE including, at least in part, the inhibition/attenuation of beneficial adaptations from regular physical training.

Background
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and microvascular dysfunction are hallmarks of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We hypothesized that microvascular dysfunction contributes to LV myocardial deformation impairment.
Methods
Prospective evaluation of adult patients with HCM (patients with "end-stage" HCM, prior septal reduction therapy or epicardial coronary artery disease were excluded). All underwent a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) protocol (1.5-T), from which the following parameters were analysed: maximal LV wall thickness (MLVWT), T1 and T2 mapping, extracellular volume, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and stress perfusion. Three-dimensional strain analysis was obtained by using feature-tracking from cine images. Results were stratified according to the 16 American Heart Association segments. Multivariate regression analyses for longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain were performed.
Results
A total of 1200 myocardial segments were analysed (Table 1) (75 patients, 63% male, age 54.6 ± 14.7 years) including 61% with asymmetric septal LVH, 29% with apical LVH, 8% with concentric LVH, 28% exhibiting LV outflow tract obstruction. The mean MLVWT was 20 ± 4.5mm.
Higher values of longitudinal strain (lower deformation) were found in segments with MLVWT ≥15mm (β-estimate: 2.31, 95% CI 0.91-3.70, p < 0.001) and in patients with obstructive HCM (β-estimate: 2.44, 95% CI 1.15-3.72, p < 0.001]) (Table 2). No association was found between perfusion defects, LGE and longitudinal strain.
Higher values of circumferential strain (lower deformation) were found in segments with MLVWT 12-14mm (β-estimate: 2.31, 95% CI 1.36-3.25, p < 0.001), MLVWT ≥15mm (β-estimate: 5.29, 95% CI 4.47-6.12, p < 0.001), with perfusion defects (β-estimate: 2.75, 95% CI 2.0-3.5, p < 0.001), with LGE (β-estimate: 2.49, 95% CI 1.77-3.22, p < 0.001) and in patients with obstructive HCM (β-estimate: 1.25, 95% CI 0.44-2.06, p = 0.003).
Lower radial strain values were found in segments with MLVWT 12-14mm (β-estimate: -10.64, 95% CI -13.95 to -7.33, p < 0.001), with MLVWT ≥15mm (β-estimate: -20.67, 95% CI -23.36 to -17.97, p < 0.001), with perfusion defects (β-estimate: -10.60, 95% CI -13.08 to -8.13, p < 0.001), and with LGE (β-estimate: -10.49, 95% CI -12.86 to -8.11) (table 2).
Diabetes, hypertension and BMI > 25 kg/m2 were also associated with impaired myocardial deformation. Male gender correlated with worse radial and circumferential strain values.
No association was found between parametric mapping values and LV myocardial deformation.
Conclusion
In patients with HCM, three-dimensional speckle tracking parameters for LV systolic function were particularly impaired in segments with LVH, microvascular dysfunction or fibrosis. LVH was associated with abnormal longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain while perfusion defects and LGE correlated with impaired circumferential strain and radial strain.

Background
While left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and myocardial fibrosis are frequently evaluated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), microvascular dysfunction is often overlooked. The aim of this study was to assess the association between wall thickness, microvascular dysfunction and tissue characteristics in HCM patients (P), comparing individual myocardial segments.
Methods
Prospective evaluation of adult P with HCM (P with "end-stage" HCM, prior septal reduction therapy or epicardial coronary artery disease were excluded). All underwent a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) protocol (1.5-T), from which the following parameters were analysed: maximal LV wall thickness (MLVWT), T1 and T2 mapping, extracellular volume (ECV), late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and stress perfusion. Results were stratified according to the 16 American Heart Association segments. Multivariate regression analyses for perfusion defects and tissue characteristics were performed.
Results
75 P (total of 1200 myocardial segments analysed), 63% male, mean age 55 ± 15 years, MLVWT of 20 ± 4.5mm (61% asymmetric septal LVH, 29% apical LVH and 8% concentric LVH). 28% presented LV outflow tract obstruction.
MLVWT was greater in the basal and mid septum (table 1). Among the 424 segments (35.3%) with a perfusion defect, 286 (23.8%) had a defect only in the endocardial layer and 138 (11.5%) in both endocardial and epicardial layers with defects more often detected in hypertrophied segments. This association was verified in segments with MLVWT 12-14mm and MLVWT ≥15mm (OR 7.83, 95% CI 5.75-10.67, p < 0.001) (table 2). Among the 660 segments with normal MLVWT (≤11mm), 123 (19%) presented perfusion defects. A perfusion defect was more frequent in segments of obstructive HCM P (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.13-1.92, p = 0.004).
Microvascular dysfunction was associated with changes in tissue characteristics. For the same thickness, segments with perfusion defects had a higher T1 mapping (β-estimate 20.91, 95% CI 16.87-24.96, p < 0.001) and T2 mapping mean values than those without. Furthermore, regardless of MLVWT, segments with perfusion defects had LGE more often (OR 4.16, 95% CI 3.19-5.41, p < 0.001) and a higher ECV. On the other hand, among the 424 segments with a perfusion defect, 115 (27%) did not present LGE.
MLVWT was associated with tissue characteristics. Comparing to non-hypertrophied segments, T1 mapping mean value was higher in segments with MLVWT 12-14mm and with ≥15mm (β-estimate 37.71, 95% CI 31.2-44.21, p < 0.001). Segments with MLVWT ≥15mm showed a significantly superior ECV mean value comparing to non-hypertrophied segments. LGE was more frequent in the more hypertrophied segments: MLVWT 12-14mm and ≥15mm (OR 9.02, 95% CI 6.42-12.67, p < 0.001) (Table 2).
Conclusion
Microvascular dysfunction is more prevalent in obstructive HCM, particularly in the more hypertrophied segments. The presence of microvascular dysfunction is associated with diffuse tissue abnormalities and replacement fibrosis.

Abstract
Objectives: The maintenance of the postural balance is fundamental for the daily living activities, as well as for the practice of physical exercise. However, the aging process and sedentary behavior (i.e., large sitting time) lead to changes biological systems, impairing postural balance with consequent increased falls risk. On the other hand, physical activity practice is a protective factor against these trends. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of physical activity profile and sedentary behavior on postural control in community-dwelling old adults.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 208 community-dwelling old adults, which were stratified as sufficiently or insufficiently physically active and with or without sedentary behavior. Then, they were grouped as follow: G1 (sufficiently physically active and without sedentary behavior), G2 (insufficiently physically active, but without sedentary behavior), G3 (sufficiently physically active, but with sedentary behavior), and G4 (insufficiently physically active and with sedentary behavior).Results: Stabilometric parameters (sway area, total length of center of pressure [CoP] trajectory, and the mean velocity of CP displacement) were obtained to evaluate the postural control. There was significant difference between G1 and G4 on mean velocity of CoP displacement (p < 0.05).Conclusions: The coexistence of sedentary behavior and insufficient physically active profile seem to impact negatively on postural control.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is an important pathophysiological feature in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Purpose
This study investigated the role of CMD in tissue characteristics, left ventricular (LV) systolic performance and clinical manifestations in HCM.
Methods
This prospective study enrolled patients with HCM without obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease. Each patient underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) including parametric mapping, perfusion imaging during regadenoson-induced hyperemia, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and three-dimensional longitudinal, circumferential and radial strains analysis. Electrocardiogram and 24 hours Holter recording were performed to assess arrhythmias.
Results
75P were enrolled, 47 (63%) males, mean age 54.6 (14.8) years; 51 patients (68%) had non obstructive HCM, mean maximum wall thickness (MWT) was 20.2 (4.6)mm, LV ejection fraction 71.6 (8.3)%, ischemic burden 22.5 (16.9)% of LV.
Greater MWT was associated the severity of ischemia (β-estimate: 1.809, 95% CI: 1.073; 2.545; p<0.001).
Ischemic burden was strongly associated with higher values of native T1 (β-estimate: 9.018, 95% CI: 4.721, 13.315; p<0.001).
An association between ischemia and the extent of LGE was found (β-estimate: 2.02, 95% CI: 0.93, 3.10; p<0.001). Ischemia in ≥21% of LV was associated with LGE >15% (AUC 0.766, sensitivity 0.724, specificity 0.659).
In multivariable analysis, in the overall population, MWT and LGE were independently associated with ischemia, however the evidence of association between ischemia and extent of LGE became weaker (β-estimate: 1.070, 95% CI: −0.106; 2.245; p=0.074).
In subgroup analysis, the association between ischemia and LGE remained significant in individuals with MWT 15–20mm, non-obstructive HCM, female and age <40 years.
The severity of ischemia was not associated with markers of LV systolic function, namely LVEF, longitudinal, radial and circumferential strain
A strong evidence of association was found between ischemia and atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) (OR: 1.481, 95% CI: 1.020,2.152; p=0.039), but no association was verified with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.
Conclusion
In HCM, CMD is related to the severity of LV hypertrophy. Ischemia secondary to CMD promotes fibrosis and is associated with an increase in the odds of AF/ALF.

Abstract
Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a rare autosomal dominant disease that provokes systemic deposition of amyloid. It affects the nervous system and it is characterized by progressive sensory, motor, and autonomic neuropathy. Patients with FAP often require surgery and anesthetic care for hepatic transplantation and cardioverter-defibrillator/pacemaker implantation. Peripheric neuropathy is a common finding, but there are no reported cases of its interference with anesthetic neuromuscular transmission monitoring. We report a case of a FAP patient where lack of awareness and distracting factors led to misinterpretation of neuromuscular monitoring and unnecessary sedation and ventilation in the post anesthetic care unit. FAP may interfere with the usual cubital nerve neuromuscular monitoring. Anesthesiologists should be aware of potential neuromuscular compromise to find the best monitoring location for each patient. Sugammadex was safe and reliable in the antagonism of rocuronium neuromuscular blockade in this case, despite the lack of adequate quantitative monitoring.

Abstract
Maintaining adequate body water balance is one aim of hemodialysis that is obtained by changing the blood volume. However, it is known that volume withdrawal is followed by water redistribution between extra- and intra-cellular spaces. In this context, the skeletal muscle tissue represents almost 50% of the total body mass, and like other soft tissues, consists of about 70%-80% water. Body weight is the main parameter used to monitor the body water change after a hemodialysis session, but it does not allow inferring about the water redistribution between extra and intracellular spaces. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the immediate impact of hemodialysis on body weight and the thickness of the rectus femoris muscle. Fifteen male patients with end-stage renal disease took part in the study. Muscle thickness, measured with ultrasound imaging, and body weight and were measured before (Pre) and after (Post) (within 5 to 10 minutes after) an hemodialysis session. Paired t-test was used to compare Pre and Post measures, and Bayesian analysis was applied to check the probability to replicate the same results (ie, the magnitude of the evidence). Our results indicated that body weight, but not rectus femoris muscle thickness, is significantly reduced immediately after hemodialysis. The rectus femoris muscle thickness seems not to be a reliable parameter to infer water redistribution after hemodialysis session.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium in patients with cystic fibrosis and hospital acquired infections. It presents a plethora of virulence factors and antioxidant enzymes that help to subvert the immune system. In this study, we identified the 2-Cys peroxiredoxin, alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase C1 (AhpC1), as a relevant scavenger of oxidants generated during inflammatory oxidative burst and a mechanism of P. aeruginosa (PA14) escaping from killing. Deletion of AhpC1 led to a higher sensitivity to hypochlorous acid (HOCl, IC50 3.2 ± 0.3 versus 19.1 ± 0.2 μM), hydrogen peroxide (IC50 91.2 ± 0.3 versus 496.5 ± 6.4 μM) and the organic peroxide urate hydroperoxide. ΔahpC1 strain was more sensitive to the killing by isolated neutrophils and less virulent in a mice model of infection. All mice intranasally instilled with ΔahpC1 survived as long as they were monitored (15 days), whereas 100% wild-type and ΔahpC1 complemented with ahpC1 gene (ΔahpC1 attB:ahpC1) died within 3 days. A significantly lower number of colonies was detected in the lung and spleen of ΔahpC1-infected mice. Total leucocytes, neutrophils, myeloperoxidase activity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, nitrite production and lipid peroxidation were much lower in lungs or bronchoalveolar liquid of mice infected with ΔahpC1. Purified AhpC neutralized the inflammatory organic peroxide, urate hydroperoxide, at a rate constant of 2.3 ± 0.1 × 106 M-1s-1, and only the ΔahpC1 strain was sensitive to this oxidant. Incubation of neutrophils with uric acid, the urate hydroperoxide precursor, impaired neutrophil killing of wild-type but improved the killing of ΔahpC1. Hyperuricemic mice presented higher levels of serum cytokines and succumbed much faster to PA14 infection when compared to normouricemic mice. In summary, ΔahpC1 PA14 presented a lower virulence, which was attributed to a poorer ability to neutralize the oxidants generated by inflammatory oxidative burst, leading to a more efficient killing by the host. The enzyme is particularly relevant in detoxifying the newly reported inflammatory organic peroxide, urate hydroperoxide.

Abstract
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training combines exercise and partial reduction of muscular blood flow using a pressured cuff. BFR training has been used to increase strength and muscle mass in healthy and clinical populations. A major methodological concern of BFR training is blood flow restriction pressure (BFRP) delivered during an exercise bout. Although some studies increase BFRP throughout a training intervention, it is unclear whether BFRP adjustments are pivotal to maintain an adequate BFR during a training period. While neuromuscular adaptations induced by BFR are widely studied, cardiovascular changes throughout training intervention with BFR and their possible relationship with BFRP are less understood. This study aimed to discuss the need for BFRP adjustment based on cardiovascular outcomes and provide directions for future researches. We conducted a literature review and analyzed 29 studies investigating cardiovascular adaptations following BFR training. Participants in the studies were healthy, middle-aged adults, older adults and clinical patients. Cuff pressure, when adjusted, was increased during the training period. However, cardiovascular outcomes did not provide a plausible rationale for cuff pressure increase. In contrast, avoiding increments in cuff pressure may minimize discomfort, pain and risks associated with BFR interventions, particularly in clinical populations. Given that cardiovascular adaptations induced by BFR training are conflicting, it is challenging to indicate whether increases or decreases in BFRP are needed. Based on the available evidence, we suggest that future studies investigate if maintaining or decreasing cuff pressure makes BFR training safer and/or more comfortable with similar physiological adaptation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the short- and long-term effects of low load blood flow restriction (LL-BFR) versus low- (LL-RT) or high-load (HL-RT) resistance training with free blood flow on myoelectric activity, and investigate the differences between failure and non-failure protocols. DATA SOURCE We identified sources by searching the MEDLINE/PUBMED, CINAHL, WEB OF SCIENCE, CENTRAL, SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus, and PEDro electronic databases. STUDY SELECTION We screened titles and abstracts of 1048 articles using our inclusion criteria. A total of 39 articles were selected for further analysis. DATA EXTRACTION Two reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of each study and extracted data from studies. A meta-analytic approach was used to compute standardized mean differences (SMD ± 95% confidence intervals (CI)). Subgroup analyses were conducted for both failure or non-failure protocols. DATA SYNTHESIS The search identified n = 39 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Regarding the short-term effects, LL-BFR increased muscle excitability compared with LL-RT during non-failure exercises (SMD 0.61, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.88), whereas HL-RT increased muscle excitability compared with LL-BFR regardless of voluntary failure (SMD -0.61, 95% CI -1.01 to 0.21) or not (SMD -1.13, CI -1.94 to -0.33). Concerning the long-term effects, LL-BFR increased muscle excitability compared with LL-RT during exercises performed to failure (SMD 1.09, CI 0.39 to 1.79). CONCLUSIONS Greater short-term muscle excitability levels are observed in LL-BFR than LL-RT during non-failure protocols. Conversely, greater muscle excitability is present during HL-RT compared with LL-BFR, regardless of volitional failure. Furthermore, LL-BFR performed to failure increases muscle excitability in the long-term compared with LL-RT.

Abstract
Introduction Given the effectiveness and overall safety in several psychiatry conditions, electroconvulsive therapy remains a widely used procedure in current medical practice. Informed consent is still a requirement for the use of ECT both in voluntary and compulsory treatment; however, since severe mental illness can affect decision-making capacity and insight of the need for treatment, this requirement often constitutes an obstacle to its use. In addition, stigma around ECT still contributes to treatment refusal. Objectives To summarize the most recent evidence published about ECT and discuss the ethical and legal implications of its use, enlightened by the empirical description of a clinical vignette. Methods Review of literature on the ethical and legal issues involving the ECT use in patients on compulsory treatment, considering the efficacy, risks, the mental health legislation in Portugal, and several international directives. Results Informed consent is the basic tenet in the contemporary physician-patient relationship. In principle, ECT can only be administered to patients who prior consent to the treatment. In contemporary practice, providing the best medical assistance and respecting the patient’s autonomy are two fundamental principles. However, we often face an ethical dilemma, when severely ill patients, whose insight, the ability for self-determination and decision-making capacity may be impaired, refuse a potential beneficial treatment as ECT. Conclusions The use of ECT in severe mental illness is still hampered by legal and ethical constraints. A future revision of the law could protect patients from being excluded from a treatment that may change the course of the disease. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) versus a deceptive sham protocol on indirect markers of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) after the application of individualized occlusion pressure were examined. The goal of using a sham protocol is to control for the potential effect of placebo. HYPOTHESIS IPC would surpass the sham protocol in protecting against EIMD. STUDY DESIGN A randomized, double-blinded, clinical trial. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 1. METHODS Thirty healthy young men were randomly assigned to an eccentric exercise for the knee extensor muscles preceded by IPC (4 × 5 minutes of individualized total occlusion pressure) or sham protocol (4 × 5 minutes using 20 mm Hg). Maximal voluntary isometric torque (MVIT), rate of torque development, muscle soreness, pressure pain threshold, knee range of motion, thigh girth, and creatine kinase (CK) activity were assessed before IPC or sham protocol and up to 72 hours after the eccentric EIMD. Affective valence and perceived exertion were also evaluated. RESULTS MVIT decreased 17.1% in the IPC and 18.1% in the sham groups, with no differences between groups. Differences from baseline were observed in the sham group for muscle soreness at 48 hours (P < 0.001) and 72 hours (P = 0.02), and for CK activity at 72 hours (P = 0.04). Muscle soreness was reduced in the IPC group at 48 hours compared with the sham group (∆ = 15.8 mm; P = 0.008) but without achieving the minimal clinically important difference. IPC induced a smaller perceived exertion than the sham protocol (∆ = 1.1 a.u.; P = 0.02). The remaining outcomes were not statistically different in both groups. CONCLUSION IPC does not surpass the sham protocol to protect against mild EIMD of the knee extensors muscles. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although IPC is a noninvasive, low-cost, and easy-to-administer intervention, the IPC effects can, in part, be explained by the placebo effect. In addition, individualized IPC promotes attenuation in perceived exertion during eccentric exercise.

Objective
To analyze the relationship between coronary microvascular dysfunction (MCD) and left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Methods
Prospectively inclusion of HCM patients (P). MCD was assessed by CMR, during regadenoson-induced hyperemia. For perfusion assessment, the myocardium was divided into 32 subsegments (16 AHA segments subdivided into an endocardial and epicardial layer). Ischemic burden was calculated as the number of involved subsegments, assigning 3% of myocardium to each subsegment. Epicardial coronary artery disease was excluded by computed tomography or invasive coronary angiography.
LV myocardial deformation was evaluated by 2D and 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), including global longitudinal strain (GLS), peak systolic dispersion (PDS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), area strain, twist and torsion.
Results
31 P enrolled (51%male,age57.8 ± 15.5years). Asymmetric septal hypertrophy was seen in 55%, apical in 29%, concentric in 16%,maximal wall thickness (MWT) of 20.5 ± 4.9mm; 26% with LVOT obstruction; LV ejection fraction 67.9 ± 7.9%.
In 2DSTE analysis, P with more ischemia (>20%of LV) presented more severe impaired GLS and greater PDS, comparing with patients with ≤20% of ischemia.
Similarly, 3DSTE imaging showed worse LV performance in P with greater ischemic burden, expressed by significant difference in GLS, GRS and area strain. GCS also trended to be worse in the presence of >20% of ischemia.
The stronger correlation was found between 2D GLS and ischemic burden (Pearson correlation factor 0.545; p = 0.002).
Conclusion
In HCM, the severity of ischemia secondary to MCD was associated with impairment in LV myocardial deformation evaluated by 2D and 3D STE.

Abstract
We investigated whether hand guards (HG) influence the perception of pain and exertionduring the execution of a standardized task on high bar to induce forearm muscle fatigue aswell as a decline in grip strength after the task. Design: A cross-over study design wasemployed 15 healthy and physically active volunteers completed static bodyweight holds (8cycles of 20 second load in hang and 10 second rest), on a high bar. The exercise protocolwas performed with and without HG. Perception of pain and exertion during the task wererecorded. Peak handgrip force and explosive force parameters (i.e., rate of force development[RFD] and contractile impulse [CI] at 30 to 200 ms) were obtained from force-time curves.Peak force and explosive force parameters were normalized (i.e., POS/PRE) for statisticalanalysis. The use of a HG significantly attenuates pain perception (p < 0.05), with amoderate to large effect size (d = 0.52), but did not alter the perception of exertion during thetask, nor did it alter peak force, RFD, or CI. The use of HG reduces the perception of localpain during static holds. However, HG do not alter the perception of exertion during the tasknor do they alter the gripping force ability immediately afterwards. This research did notreceive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profitsectors.

Abstract
The relationship between the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) and modulation of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is reported as complex and bidirectional. Thus, the present study aimed to compare autonomous heart control, through symbolic analysis parameters, in the older adults carrying different ACE I/D gene polymorphisms (rs4646994). Two hundred four older adults comprised the study population and were grouped according to the ACE I/D gene polymorphism: II + ID genotype and DD genotype. Successive RR intervals were recorded along 5 min and analyzed with Symbolic Analysis (SA) method. 0 V%, 1 V% and 2 V% patterns were quantified and compared between groups. A linear mixed model analysis was used to determine between-group differences in symbolic analysis parameters (0 V%, 1 V% and 2 V%), taken groups as fixed factor and sex, use of ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin II receptor type I blockers as random factors. The Bayesian analysis was carried out to check the magnitude of the evidence. The results of this study indicate that older adults carrying the DD genotype have statistically greater sympathetic modulation (0 V%) and poor sympathovagal balance (1 V%), but the Bayesian analysis indicate only an anecdotal effect. Sympathetic predominance is recognized a worrying condition, since may predisposes to cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen, causing infections that range from mucous membranes to systemic infections. The present article provides an overview of C. albicans, with the production of biofilms produced by this fungus, as well as reporting the classes of antifungals used to fight such infections, together with the resistance mechanisms to these drugs. Candida albicans is highly adaptable, enabling the transition from commensal to pathogen due to a repertoire of virulence factors. Specifically, the ability to change morphology and form biofilms is central to the pathogenesis of C. albicans. Indeed, most infections by this pathogen are associated with the formation of biofilms on surfaces of hosts or medical devices, causing high morbidity and mortality. Significantly, biofilms formed by C. albicans are inherently tolerant to antimicrobial therapy, so the susceptibility of C. albicans biofilms to current therapeutic agents remains low. Therefore, it is difficult to predict which molecules will emerge as new clinical antifungals. The biofilm formation of C. albicans has been causing impacts on susceptibility to antifungals, leading to resistance, which demonstrates the importance of research aimed at the prevention and control of these clinical microbial communities.

Abstract
The bystander effect is commonly defined as the observation of effects in nonirradiated cells and tissues when the later are in contact with irradiated cells/ tissues. More recently the occurrence of bystander effect between organisms of the same species has been also demonstrated. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge about this effect between soil dwelling organisms from different taxonomic groups, as well as in response to stressors other than ionizing radiation. Moreover, data reporting this phenomenon for soil invertebrates are scarce. The results herein presented contribute for the understanding of the impacts of cadmium and uranium in the DNA integrity of two terrestrial oligochaetes species (Eisenia fetida and Enchytraeus albidus). The evaluation was based on the quantification of the effects in the DNA integrity of the coelomocytes using the alkaline comet assay technique. This work reports the existence of bystander signaling from terrestrial earthworms to enchytraeids and from enchytraeids to earthworms when the organisms were exposed to Cd. These results reinforce that the bystander effect seems to be related with the genotoxic activity of stressors, and not exclusive of radiotoxic contaminants. Further, the bystander effect occurs between different species and under real environmental conditions, even in complex matrices, as the soil.
