    In December 2019, cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology emerged, which were later classified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On March 11st, the pandemic by COVID-19 disease was declared, and since then it has been used transmission containment measures such as social distancing and confinement, measures with known effects as stressors that can influence eating behavior. Therefore, the aim of this research protocol is to identify eating behavior through dietary restriction, emotional feeding, and uncontrolled intake and to explore the factors associated with these adult behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spanish-speaking countries.En diciembre de 2019 surgieron casos de neumonía de etiología desconocida, que mås tarde fueron clasificados como coronavirus del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave de tipo 2 (SARS-CoV-2). El 11 de marzo se declaró la pandemia por la enfermedad respiratoria coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), por lo que se recurrió a medidas de contención de la transmisión, como el distanciamiento social y confinamiento, medidas con conocidos efectos estresores que pueden influir en la conducta alimentaria. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es identificar la conducta alimentaria a través de la restricción dietética, alimentación emocional e ingesta incontrolada, y explorar los factores asociados con estas conductas en adultos durante el confinamiento por COVID-19 en países hispanohablantes.Em dezembro de 2019 surgiram casos de pneumonia de etiologia desconhecida, posteriormente classificados como coronavírus de síndrome respiratória aguda grave do tipo 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

    AIM: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to explore the impact of surgical delays on cancer resectability. This study aimed to compare resectability for colorectal cancer patients undergoing delayed versus non-delayed surgery. METHODS: This was an international prospective cohort study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients with a decision for curative surgery (January-April 2020). Surgical delay was defined as an operation taking place more than 4 weeks after treatment decision, in a patient who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy. A subgroup analysis explored the effects of delay in elective patients only. The impact of longer delays was explored in a sensitivity analysis. The primary outcome was complete resection, defined as curative resection with an R0 margin. RESULTS: Overall, 5453 patients from 304 hospitals in 47 countries were included, of whom 6.6% (358/5453) did not receive their planned operation. Of the 4304 operated patients without neoadjuvant therapy, 40.5% (1744/4304) were delayed beyond 4 weeks. Delayed patients were more likely to be older, men, more comorbid, have higher body mass index and have rectal cancer and early stage disease. Delayed patients had higher unadjusted rates of complete resection (93.7% vs. 91.9%, P = 0.032) and lower rates of emergency surgery (4.5% vs. 22.5%, P < 0.001). After adjustment, delay was not associated with a lower rate of complete resection (OR 1.18, 95% CI 0.90-1.55, P = 0.224), which was consistent in elective patients only (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.69-1.27, P = 0.672). Longer delays were not associated with poorer outcomes. CONCLUSION: One in 15 colorectal cancer patients did not receive their planned operation during the first wave of COVID-19. Surgical delay did not appear to compromise resectability, raising the hypothesis that any reduction in long-term survival attributable to delays is likely to be due to micro-metastatic disease

    Oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta: Cross-sectional study

    © 2018 The Author(s). Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) affects dental and craniofacial development and may therefore impair Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). However, little is known about OHRQoL in children and adolescents with OI. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of OI severity on oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents. Methods: Children and adolescents aged 8-14 years were recruited in the context of a multicenter longitudinal study (Brittle Bone Disease Consortium) that enrolls individuals with OI in 10 centers across North America. OHRQoL was assessed using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ) versions for 8 to 10-year-olds (CPQ 8-10 ) and for 11 to 14-year-olds (CPQ 11-14 ). Results: A total of 138 children and adolescents (62% girls) diagnosed with OI types I, III, IV, V and VI (n = 65, 30, 37, 4 and 2, respectively) participated in the study. CPQ 8-10 scores were similar between OI types in children aged 8 to 10 years. In the 11 to 14-year-old group, CPQ 11-14 -scores were significantly higher (i.e. worse) for OI types III (24.7 [SD 12.5]) and IV (23.1 [SD 14.8]) than for OI type I (16.5 [SD 12.8]) (P \u3c 0.05). The difference between OI types was due to the association between OI types and the functional limitations domain, as OI types III and IV were associated with significantly higher grade of functional limitations compared to OI type I. Conclusion: The severity of OI impacts OHRQoL in adolescents aged 11 to 14 years, but not in children age 8 to 10 years

    Notes for genera – Ascomycota

    Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10--15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011, has also caused changes in fungal generic names. In order to facilitate access to all important changes, it was desirable to compile these in a single document. The present article provides a list of generic names of Ascomycota (approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016), including those which are lichen-forming. Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of `Ainsworth Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi' in 2008 are provided. The notes include the number of accepted species, classification, type species (with location of the type material), culture availability, life-styles, distribution, and selected publications that have appeared since 2008. This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the ``Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi'' published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names. This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists, and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). The previously invalidly published generic names Barriopsis, Collophora (as Collophorina), Cryomyces, Dematiopleospora, Heterospora (as Heterosporicola), Lithophila, Palmomyces (as Palmaria) and Saxomyces are validated, as are two previously invalid family names, Bartaliniaceae and Wiesneriomycetaceae. Four species of Lalaria, which were invalidly published are transferred to Taphrina and validated as new combinations. Catenomycopsis Tibell Constant. is reduced under Chaenothecopsis Vain., while Dichomera Cooke is reduced under Botryosphaeria Ces. De Not. (Art. 59)
