    Entre os principais agentes de degradação em alvenarias externas e seus componentes, a chuva e o vento são considerados responsáveis por até 70% dos casos de infiltração, causando problemas que vão desde problemas estéticos a decomposição de elementos que constituem as fachadas. Apesar dos estudos de erosão se concentrarem na avaliação de blocos de terra, nos elementos a base de cimento Portland, a retirada do hidróxido de sódio livre por lixiviação, aumentando a porosidade, aumenta também a susceptibilidade ao ataque por sulfatos e a carbonatação e, por conseguinte, expõe os compostos cimentícios à decomposição. Por outro lado, o hidróxido de cálcio lixiviado reage com o gás carbônico presente no ar precipitando-se na superfície em forma de crostas brancas, reacção esta denominada de eflorescência. Apesar dos revestimentos protegerem as paredes de intempéries, os rebocos à base de cimento também estão passivos à ocorrência de eflorescência e, por conseguinte, de degradação pela acção de chuvas. Neste trabalho é feita uma breve revisão sobre os ensaios de simulação de chuvas já publicados e, em seguida, apresentada uma proposta de equipamento de ensaio, metodologia para levantamento de dados e validação do teste através da correlação dos parâmetros adoptados com os dados de caracterização de chuvas em Portugal

    Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Background: Recent studies have addressed the role of structures other than the basal ganglia in the pathophysiology of craniocervical dystonia (CCD). Neuroimaging studies have attempted to identify structural abnormalities in CCD but a clear pattern of alteration has not been established. We performed whole-brain evaluation using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to identify patterns of gray matter (GM) changes in CCD. Methods: We compared 27 patients with CCD matched in age and gender to 54 healthy controls. VBM was used to compare GM volumes. We created a two-sample t-test corrected for subjects' age, and we tested with a level of significance of p < 0.001 and false discovery rate (FDR) correction (p < 0.05). Results: Voxel-based morphometry demonstrated significant reductions of GM using p < 0.001 in the cerebellar vermis IV/V, bilaterally in the superior frontal gyrus, precuneus, anterior cingulate and paracingulate, insular cortex, lingual gyrus, and calcarine fissure; in the left hemisphere in the supplementary motor area, inferior frontal gyrus, inferior parietal gyrus, temporal pole, supramarginal gyrus, rolandic operculum, hippocampus, middle occipital gyrus, cerebellar lobules IV/V, superior, and middle temporal gyri; in the right hemisphere, the middle cingulate and precentral gyrus. Our study did not report any significant result using the FDR correction. We also detected correlations between GM volume and age, disease duration, duration of botulinum toxin treatment, and the Marsden-Fahn dystonia scale scores. Conclusion: We detected large clusters of GM changes chiefly in structures primarily involved in sensorimotor integration, motor planning, visuospatial function, and emotional processing.Recent studies have addressed the role of structures other than the basal ganglia in the pathophysiology of craniocervical dystonia (CCD).

    We describe the case of a 41-year-old man with congenital heart disease and infective endocarditis (IE), who presented multiple vegetations attached to the pulmonary, mitral, and aortic valves. Three valve replacements were performed, but the patient developed an abscess at the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa and died due to sepsis. We briefly discuss the indications for surgery in IE, emphasizing its role in the treatment of uncontrolled infection

    As próteses muco-suportadas são consideradas facilitadoras em potencial da estomatite protética (EP), lesão comumente observada sob a base das próteses, caracterizada por aspectos eritematosos difusos ou pontilhados na mucosa de suporte. Sua etiologia é controversa, podendo estar relacionada principalmente a fatores locais. Diversos aspectos funcionais associam-se a estes fatores representados pela oclusão, dimensão vertical, retenção, estabilidade dinâmica e estática além de aspectos qualitativos relacionados às condições encontradas no desdentado. Foram levados em consideração o período de edentulismo, número e tempo de uso das próteses, uso contínuo, conservação, presença de placa e higiene bucal. Os fatores foram avaliados, visando esclarecer a possível relação dos aspectos funcionais e protéticos com a EP. Exame clínico foi realizado em 116 pacientes de ambos os sexos, desdentados bimaxilares, que utilizavam as duas próteses muco-suportadas, portadores ou não de estomatite protética (EP). Os resultados indicaram que a maioria dos pacientes examinados tinha EP frente ao menor número de pacientes sem EP, havendo nos dois grupos equivalência nos resultados da avaliação clínica e protética. Os fatores funcionais e qualitativos das próteses, avaliados isoladamente, não puderam ser considerados responsáveis pela ocorrência dessa patologia, constatando-se que um único fator protético não demonstrou, de per si, ser responsável pela presença da EP, embora possa ser um facilitador para o seu desenvolvimento.<br>Functional and qualitative factors in complete dentures can contribute to the development of lesions in the oral mucosa. Such lesions are classified as denture stomatitis (DS). There are considerable differences of opinion as to its etiology, mainly related to systemic and local factors. The influence of functional and qualitative features of complete dentures on denture stomatitis was evaluated. The functional factors considered were: occlusion, vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), dynamic and static retention, as well as stability. The qualitative factors were: oral and prosthetic hygiene, continuous use, complete denture status, time of use and time of edentulism. The study group comprised 116 totally edentulous patients, with and without DS, of both genders using tissue-supported prostheses. The data were analyzed through the Chi-square test, at the 0.05 significance level, and through the Fisher test, when the frequency was low. The results indicated that the majority of our patients presented DS. None of these factors was by itself responsible for the presence of DS, indicating that DS was probably due to many factors

Using data from the Zika Brazilian Cohorts Consortium, this study aims, to estimate the risk of adverse outcomes among offspring of women with RT-PCR-confirmed ZIKV infection during pregnancy and to explore heterogeneity between studies. Methods: We performed an individual participant data meta-analysis of the offspring of 1548 pregnant women from 13 studies, using one and two-stage meta-analyses to estimate the absolute risks. Findings: Of the 1548 ZIKV-exposed pregnancies, the risk of miscarriage was 0.9%, while the risk of stillbirth was 0.3%. Among the pregnancies with liveborn children, the risk of prematurity was 10,5%, the risk of low birth weight was 7.7, and the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) was 16.2%. For other abnormalities, the absolute risks were: 2.6% for microcephaly at birth or first evaluation, 4.0% for microcephaly at any time during follow-up, 7.9% for neuroimaging abnormalities, 18.7% for functional neurological abnormalities, 4.0% for ophthalmic abnormalities, 6.4% for auditory abnormalities, 0.6% for arthrogryposis, and 1.5% for dysphagia. This risk was similar in all sites studied and in different socioeconomic conditions, indicating that there are not likely to be other factors modifying this association. Interpretation: This study based on prospectively collected data generates the most robust evidence to date on the risks of congenital ZIKV infections over the early life course. Overall, approximately one-third of liveborn children with prenatal ZIKV exposure presented with at least one abnormality compatible with congenital infection, while the risk to present with at least two abnormalities in combination was less than 1.0%

In this study, results of vaccinees who received a single dose of 17DD-YF immunization followed over 10 y challenge this premise. YF-neutralizing antibodies, subsets of memory T and B cells as well as cytokine-producing lymphocytes were evaluated in groups of adults before (NVday0) and after (PVday30-45, PVyear1-4, PVyear5-9, PVyear10-11, PVyear12-13) 17DD-YF primary vaccination. YF-neutralizing antibodies decrease significantly from PVyear1-4 to PVyear12-13 as compared to PVday30-45, and the seropositivity rates (PRNT≥2.9Log10mIU/mL) become critical (lower than 90%) beyond PVyear5-9. YF-specific memory phenotypes (effector T-cells and classical B-cells) significantly increase at PVday30-45 as compared to na've baseline. Moreover, these phenotypes tend to decrease at PVyear10-11 as compared to PVday30-45. Decreasing levels of TNF-α(+) and IFN-γ(+) produced by CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cells along with increasing levels of IL-10(+)CD4(+)T-cells were characteristic of anti-YF response over time. Systems biology profiling represented by hierarchic networks revealed that while the na've baseline is characterized by independent micro-nets, primary vaccinees displayed an imbricate network with essential role of central and effector CD8(+) memory T-cell responses. Any putative limitations of this cross-sectional study will certainly be answered by the ongoing longitudinal population-based investigation. Overall, our data support the current Brazilian national immunization policy guidelines that recommend one booster dose 10 y after primary 17DD-YF vaccination
