Surveying the spirit of absolute summability on multilinear operators and homogeneous polynomials
[EN] We draw a fundamental compendium of the most valuable results of the theory
of summing linear operators and detail those that are not shared by known multilinear and
polynomial extensions of absolutely summing linear operators. The lack of such results in the
theory of non-linear summing operators justifies the introduction of a class of polynomials
and multilinear operators that satisfies at once all related non-linear results. Surprisingly
enough, this class, defined by means of a summing inequality, happens to be the well known
ideal of composition with a summing operator.D. Pellegrino acknowledges with thanks the support of CNPq Grant 401735/2013-3-PVE (Linha 2)-Brazil. P.

Sacrococcygeal Teratoma: From Diagnosis to Surgery
Os teratomas sacrococcĂgeos (TSC) sĂŁo os tumores mais frequentes do recĂ©m-nascido, sendo frequentemente diagnosticados in utero. Apresenta-se o caso de um recĂ©m-nascido com um volumoso TSC, diagnosticado Ă s 22 semanas de gestação.
A gravidez foi vigiada por uma equipa multidisciplinar, atendendo ao elevado risco de complicações materno-fetais. Realizou-se cesariana electiva às 38 semanas. Ao 8º dia de vida, procedeu-se à ressecção cirúrgica do TSC em bloco com o cóccix e reposicionamento posterior do ânus. Não existiram intercorrências no intra ou pós-operatório. O seguimento da gravidez por uma equipa pluridisciplinar foi fulcral, per -

Endograft-preserving therapy of a patient with Coxiella burnetii-infected abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p><it>Coxiella burnetii</it>, the causative agent of Q fever, may cause endocarditis and vascular infections that result in severe morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a <it>C. burnetii</it>-infected abdominal aorta and its management in a patient with a previous endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A 62-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to our hospital three months after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair with a bifurcated stent graft. He had increasing abdominal complaints and general malaise. A computed tomography scan of his abdomen revealed several para-aneurysmal abscesses. Surgery was performed via midline laparotomy. The entire abdominal wall of his aneurysmal sac, including the abscesses, was removed. The vascular endoprosthesis showed no macroscopic signs of infection. The decision was made to leave the endograft in place because of the severe cardiopulmonary comorbidities, thereby avoiding suprarenal clamping and explantation of this device with venous reconstruction. The proximal and distal parts of the endograft were secured to the aortic wall and common iliac artery walls, respectively, to avoid future migration. Polymerase chain reaction for <it>C. burnetii </it>was positive in all specimens of aortic tissue. Specific antibiotic therapy was initiated. Our patient was discharged in good clinical condition after six days.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>In our patient, the infection was limited to the abdominal aneurysm wall, which was removed, leaving the endograft in place. Vascular surgeons should be familiar with this bailout procedure in high-risk patients.</p
Structural effects induced by dialysis-based purification of carbon nanomaterials
Dialysis plays a crucial role in the purification of nanomaterials but its impact on the structural properties of carbon nanomaterials was never investigated. Herein, a carbon-based nanomaterial generated electrochemically in potassium phosphate buffer, was characterized before and after dialysis against pure water. It is shown that dialysis affects the size of the carbon domains, structural organization, surface functionalization, oxidation degree of carbon, and grade of amorphicity. Accordingly, dialysis drives the nanomaterial organization from discrete roundish carbon domains, with sizes ranging from 70 to 160 nm, towards linear stacking structures of small nanoparticles (<15 ​nm). In parallel, alcohol and ether (epoxide) surface groups evolve into more oxidized carbon groups (e.g., ketone and ester groups). Investigation of the as-prepared nanomaterial by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) revealed a resonance signal consistent with carbon-oxygen centred radicals. Additionally, this study brings to light the selective affinity of the carbon nanomaterial under study to capture Na+ ions, a property greatly enhanced by the dialysis process, and its high ability to trap oxygen, particularly before dialysis. These findings open new perspectives for the application of carbon-based nanomaterials and raise awareness of the importance of structural changes that can occur during the purification of carbon-based nanomaterials

Intraprostatic Botulinum Toxin Type A injection in patients with benign prostatic enlargement: duration of the effect of a single treatment
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Botulinum Toxin Type-A (BoNT/A) intraprostatic injection can induce prostatic involution and improve LUTS and urinary flow in patients with Benign Prostatic Enlargement (BPE). However, the duration of these effects is unknown. The objective of this work was to determine the duration of prostate volume reduction after one single intraprostatic injection of 200U of Botulinum Toxin Type-A.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>This is an extension of a 6 month study in which 21 frail elderly patients with refractory urinary retention and unfit for surgery were submitted to intraprostatic injection of BoNT/A-200U, by ultrasound guided transrectal approach. In spite of frail conditions, eleven patients could be followed during 18 months. Prostate volume, total serum PSA, maximal flow rate (Qmax), residual volume (PVR) and IPSS-QoL scores were determined at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months post-treatment.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Mean prostate volume at baseline, 82 ± 16 ml progressively decreased from month one coming to 49 ± 9,5 ml (p = 0,003) at month six. From this moment on, prostate volume slowly recovered, becoming identical to baseline at 18 months (73 ± 16 ml, p = 0.03). Albeit non significant, serum PSA showed a 25% decrease from baseline to month 6. The 11 patients resumed spontaneous voiding at month one. Mean Qmax was 11,3 ± 1,7 ml/sec and remained unchanged during the follow-up period. PVR ranged from 55 ± 17 to 82 ± 20 ml and IPSS score from10 to 12 points.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Intraprostatic BoNT/A injection is safe and can reduce prostate volume for a period of 18 months. During this time a marked symptomatic improvement can be maintained.</p
