Endometriosis: A Rare Cause of Large Bowel Obstruction.

Large bowel obstruction can result in significant morbidity and mortality, especially in cases of acute complete obstruction. There are many possible causes, the most common in adults being colorectal cancer. Endometriosis is a benign disease, and the most affected extragenital location is the bowel, especially the rectosigmoid junction. However, transmural involvement and acute occlusion are very rare events. We report an exceptional case of acute large bowel obstruction as the initial presentation of endometriosis. The differential diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma may be challenging, and this case emphasizes the need to consider intestinal endometriosis in females at a fertile age presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms and an intestinal mass causing complete large bowel obstruction.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Extracellular matrix mimics using hyaluronan-based biomaterials

Hyaluronan (HA) is a critical element of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The regulated synthesis and degradation of HA modulates the ECM chemical and physical properties that, in turn, influence cellular behavior. HA triggers signaling pathways associated with the adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of cells, mediated by its interaction with specific cellular receptors or by tuning the mechanical properties of the ECM. This review summarizes the recent advances on strategies used to mimic the HA present in the ECM to study healthy or pathological cellular behavior. This includes the development of HA-based 2D and 3D in vitro tissue models for the seeding and encapsulation of cells, respectively, and HA particles as carriers for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.The authors acknowledge thefinancial support from the European Commission’s H2020 programme, under grantagreements H2020-WIDESPREAD-2014-668983-FORECAST, and H2020-MSCA-RISE-2019-872648-MEPHOS.

Caracterização qualitativa de ácidos graxos como componentes dos óleos de grão de café verde, café torrado e borra de café.

Neste trabalho, avaliou-se a qualidade dos compostos de óleo extraído a partir de grãos de café verdes, grãos de café torrados e de borra de café. Para isso, utilizou-se o hexano como solvente e o equipamento Soxhlet como extrator, que utiliza refluxo de solvente em um processo intermitente. A temperatura da mistura óleo e hexano foram mantidas a 62 °C e o tempo de extração para cada cartucho foi de 2 horas. O rendimento da extração dos óleos de café variou entre 8 e 10%. Com base na análise dos ésteres metílicos dos ácidos graxos que compõem o óleo através de CGEM, fez-se uma análise qualitativa da composição desses óleos, com maiores teores sendo detectados na borra de café de grão torrado e menores teores na borra de café comercial

Radiative corrections for few-nucleon systems

We use a combination of effective field theory and the renormalization group to determine the impact of radiative corrections on the nucleon-nucleon potential. In order to do so, we present a modified version of pionless effective field theory inspired by earlier work in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. The renormalization group analysis of corrections in the deuteron indicate that radiative corrections generate $1-2\%$ of the binding energy. This work serves as an important starting point for the study of radiative corrections in few-body systems relevant for precision tests of the Standard Model.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
