Abstract
Spore settlement and development are bottlenecks for resilience of habitat-forming macroalgal species. These processes are directly related to temperature, a global stressor protagonist of ocean warming. The toxic effects of local pollutants such as copper may be worsened under a global warming scenario. Therefore, in this paper, we investigated the effects of increased temperature combined with elevated concentrations of copper on the viability, photosynthetic pigments, and ultrastructure of Gelidium floridanum tetraspores. Tetraspores were cultivated on slides with sterilized seawater or seawater enriched with CuCl2 , and incubated under 24°C or 30°C for 24 h. Tetraspores cultivated with copper 3.0 μM under 30°C had lower viability. Both temperature and copper had a significant effect on phycocyanin and phycoerythrin concentrations. Samples cultivated with copper under 30°C presented a heavily altered cellular structure, with vesicles throughout the cytoplasm, chloroplasts with altered structure and cells with degenerated cytoplasm and cell walls. Our findings show that temperature and copper significantly affect the viability, photosynthetic pigments, and ultrastructure of G. floridanum tetraspores, presenting an additive interaction for the physiology of this seaweed's early stages.

Abstract
Ocean warming is increasing and scientific predictions suggest a rise of up to 4°C in sea water temperatures. The combination of a polluted and warmer environment may be detrimental for aquatic species, especially for primary producers such as seaweeds. This study investigated the potential for interactive effects of an increased seawater temperature in a copper-rich environment on the photosynthetic pigments and metabolic compounds of the red seaweed Gelidium floridanum. Seaweed samples were cultivated in a factorial design with temperature (24°C and 30°C), copper (0 and 3 μM), and time (7 and 14 d). The exposure of G. floridanum to copper and 30°C for 7 d resulted in a lower concentration of chlorophyll a, smaller phycobiliprotein rods and lower concentration of soluble sugars. After 14 d of cultivation, a higher concentration of chlorophyll a and soluble sugars could be observed on seaweeds cultivated under 30°C. The accumulation of carotenoids and the release of phenolic compounds indicated specific protective mechanisms against temperature and copper, respectively. Overall, seaweeds grew less when exposed to copper 3 μM at 30°C.

Abstract
Carpospores of Pyropia acanthophora var. brasiliensis are dispersion and reproduction units responsible for giving rise to the diploid filamentous structure of this alga's life cycle. The present study assesses the anthropogenic impact of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on morphology and ultrastructure, spore viability, autofluorescence of chloroplasts and the amount of intensity of ROS during the germination of carpospores. Carpospores were cultivated at 24 ± 1°C, 40 ± 10 μmol photons m-2 s-1 with photoperiod of 12 h and exposed to UVAR + UVBR for 3 h a day for 2 days with a daily dose of 5.05 J cm-2 for UVAR and 0.095 J cm-2 for UVBR. Samples were cultured for another five days exposed only to PAR in order to confirm their viability after the initial 2-day exposure. Carpospores showed significant sensitivity to UVR exposure after only 48 h, including changes in developmental rate, overall morphology, cell organization and chloroplast autofluorescence. UVR exposure inhibited germ tube formation in carpospores, which were mostly nonviable and/or altered, showing retracted cytoplasm and disorganized cytoplasmic content. Even in the absence of UVR exposure, carpospores remained collapsed, indicating irreversible damage. It can be concluded that UVR is a limiting factor for the development of P. acanthophora.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of cadmium and temperature on plant-litter decomposition by examining diversity and activity of aquatic fungi and leaf consumption by Limnephilus sp., a typical invertebrate shredder of Iberian streams. Freshly fallen leaves were immersed in a stream to allow microbial colonization, and were exposed in microcosms to a gradient of cadmium (≤11 levels, ≤35 mg L(-1)). Microcosms were kept at 15 °C, a temperature typically found in Iberian streams in autumn, and at 21 °C to simulate a warming scenario. The increase in temperature stimulated leaf decomposition by microbes, fungal reproduction and leaf consumption by the shredder. Conversely, increased cadmium concentrations inhibited fungal reproduction and diversity, and leaf consumption by the invertebrate. Cadmium concentration inhibiting 50% of fungal reproduction, microbial decomposition and leaf consumption by the shredder was higher at 15 °C than at 21 °C, suggesting that higher temperatures can lead to increased metal toxicity to aquatic decomposers.

Abstract
Fetuses exposed to aminopterin during the 8th-9th week of development may show aminopterin embryophathy (AE). Surviving children have a specific phenotype that includes unusual face, skull, and skeletal abnormalities. Fraser et al. [Fraser et al. (1987); Clin Genet 32:28-34] described two children with multiple malformations characteristic of the aminopterin syndrome but without history of exposure to aminopterin in the mothers and suggested that this represents a new syndrome, the aminopterin syndrome-like sine aminopterin (ASSA) syndrome. Here we describe a 9-year-old girl, born to unaffected first cousin parents. She has short stature, microcephaly, broad forehead with high hair implantation; sparse and fine hair, areas of alopecia; arched eyebrows with upturned hair, synophris; ocular hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, palpebral ptosis; oligodontia; low-set and small ears with hypoplasia of antihelices; brachydactyly, clinodactyly of both 4th and 5th fingers; hypoplasia of the 4th metacarpal and clinodactyly of the 4th and 5th toes; overlap of the second over the third toe; bilateral hip luxation; patent foramen ovale; left posterior diaphragmatic hernia, absence of spleen and horseshoe kidney. She, her mother and her brother have a karyotype of 46,XX, with an inv(9)(p12q13) polymorphism. Although this patient has some characteristics did not described before in patients with ASSA such as, palpebral ptosis, oligodontia, left posterior diaphragmatic hernia, absence of spleen, and horseshoe kidney, her phenotype strongly suggest she has the pseudoaminopterin syndrome. However, we do not exclude the possibility that this is a different condition not described previously.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Convulsive status epilepticus is a common major complication of epilepsy that results in high morbidity and mortality. Early treatment of prolonged seizures with rectal diazepam has been the method of choice in order to avoid this complication. However, several randomized trials in recent years suggest that buccal midazolam is as effective and safe as rectal diazepam. This study aims to seek further confirmation of the efficacy and safety of buccal midazolam in daily clinical practice. METHOD Ten out of 73 adult epileptic patients who were residents in a center for people with severe encephalopathy were included. We recorded all seizures over a one-year period. Prolonged seizures, defined as a seizure lasting one minute or longer, were treated by placing buccal midazolam 5 mg (1 ml) between the lower lip and the gum. We administered a second dose of midazolam when the seizure lasted more than two minutes and a third dose of midazolam, or a combination of rectal diazepam 5 mg together with midazolam, as a rescue therapy when the seizure lasted for more than 3 minutes. Vital constants were monitored. RESULTS We treated 52 prolonged seizures in 10 patients enrolled in the study. The treatment was effective with a single dose within two minutes in 80.7% of seizures. No cardiorespiratory complications were detected and no patients presented a convulsive status epilepticus. CONCLUSION Buccal midazolam is effective and safe in the treatment of prolonged seizures and has the advantage of being a convenient and socially acceptable administration form.

Abstract
Carney complex (CNC) is a familial multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome associated with GH-producing pituitary tumours and transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Mutations of the PRKAR1A gene are responsible for approximately half the known CNC cases but have never found in sporadic pituitary tumours. Pituitary tissue was obtained from an acromegalic CNC patient heterozygote for a common (PRKARIA)i-inactivating mutation. Both immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy showed a highly pleiomorphic pituitary adenoma. The cell culture population appeared morphologically heterogeneous and remained so after more than 30 passages. The mixture was comprised of cells strongly immunostained for GH, spindle-shaped myofibroblast-like cells, and cuboid cells with large axonal projections (negative for GH). The population appeared to have both epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Both at baseline and at passage 30, cytogenetic analysis indicated the presence of normal 46, XY diploid karyotype, whereas losses of the PRKARIA(i) locus were demonstrated in more than 98% of the cells by fluorescent in situ hybridisation, supporting this gene's involvement in pituitary tumorigenesis. Allelic loss may have occurred in a single precursor cell type that differentiated and clonally expanded into several phenotypes. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition may also occur in CNC-associated pleiomorphic pituitary adenomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There has been little work reported in the literature concerning trauma resulting from high level falls and almost none devoted to maxillofacial trauma following defenestration. The purpose of this work was to report the first series of defenestration victims who incurred maxillofacial trauma. METHOD This retrospective series included all patients treated at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital between July 1994 and July 1999, all units included: surgery intensive care, neurosurgical emergency, orthopedic surgery or maxillofacial surgery. RESULTS Female gender predominated in comparison with studies concerning high level falls (SR=0.5) with no difference concerning age (mu=31.5, sigma2=9.1). Fifty percent of the patients had a maxillofacial involvement. Death ensued in 17.2% (11/64 patients). The height of the fall among survivors ranged from one floor to eight floors; third-floor falls accounted for 31%. Defenestration was intentional in 70.3% of the cases, accidental in 17.1% and undetermined in 12.6%. The suicide attempts involved 13 patients with maniac depressive psychosis, 11 with depression, 6 with schizophrenia, 2 with undetermined familial problems, and 12 with no specific history. Four patients were drug abusers and 3 were alcoholics. Fifty percent of the victims were living in precarious social and economical conditions. The maxillofacial injuries included: 20 mandibular fractures, 15 Lefort fractures (I, II, III or combined), 2 blow out fractures, 7 fractures of the orbital roof, 15 fractures of the malar bone, 7 fractures of the nose bones, and 11 fractures of the naso-ethmoïdo-maxillo-fronto-orbital complex. On the average, patients lost 6 dental elements. The mean Glasgow index was 7.9. Extrafacial injuries included limb fractures (89%), chest trauma (73.4%), brain lesions (67%), spinal injury (40.6%), and abdominal injury (26.5%). CONCLUSION The psychic and social vulnerability of the defenestration patient aggravated by the trauma is a fundamental dimension which must be taken into consideration during the initial management of these patients.

Abstract
This study was performed with Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) and Dahl salt-resistant (DR) rats to detect differences in cardiovascular hemodynamics and renal responses that might be involved in initiating salt-induced hypertension in DS rats. The effects of 4 weeks of 8% NaCl diet were studied in conscious, male DR and DS rats in which vascular and urinary catheters had been previously implanted. Results were compared with those obtained from control groups of DR and DS rats on 4 weeks of 1% NaCl diet. DR rats on 8% salt diet did not develop hypertension, and cardiac output and blood volume were unchanged; glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow, sodium excretion, and plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) increased. DS rats on 8% salt diet developed hypertension, and cardiac output and blood volume increased; glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow, and sodium excretion did not change, despite an increase in ANF. DS and DR rats on 1% NaCl diet were subjected to ANF infusion. After ANF infusion DR rats had a decreased blood volume and an increased glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow, and sodium excretion; DS rats showed no significant changes in blood volume, glomerular filtration rate, urinary flow, or sodium excretion. ANF caused vasodilation in all regions studied in DR rats; DS rats showed vasodilation in all regions except the kidney. After acute volume expansion, although both DR and DS rats responded by an increase in cardiac output, only DS rats developed prolonged hypertension. This finding suggests an inadequate vasodilatory mechanism in DS rats. In response to acute volume expansion, renal resistance decreased in DR rats but not in DS rats. It is concluded that the primary hemodynamic disturbance in DS rats with salt-induced hypertension is an increase in cardiac output caused by blood volume expansion in the absence of any vasodilation. Comparison of the responses of DS and DR rats to high salt diets, ANF infusion, and acute volume expansion indicates that the salt-induced hypertension in DS rats is initiated by a diminished renal response to ANF.
