The Identity of the Crackling, Luminescent Frog of Suriname (\u3cem\u3eRana typhonia\u3c/em\u3e Linnaeus, 1758) (Amphibia, Anura)

Review of the literature and recently available field notes from the collector of the type allows a reconsideration of the identity of the Linnaean name Rana typhonia. We provide evidence to demonstrate that the Linnaean species is neither a bufonid nor an Asiatic ranid, but a Neotropical hylid. Subsequently, we consider Rana typhonia as an older synonym of Rana venulosa Laurenti, 1768, redescribing its holotype under the new combination, Trachycephalus typhonius (Linnaeus, 1758)

Um Caso Clínico de Ependimoma do Filum Terminal

Os ependimomas são tumores sólidos com origem nas células que delimitam o sistema ventricular e o canal ependimário. A sua localização habitual varia com a idade e, nos ependimomas espinhais, a sintomatologia é inespecífica o que motiva diagnósticos tardios. Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de uma criança de 9 anos de idade, com dor lombosagrada, alteração da marcha, postura anti-álgica e inversão da lordose lombar. A ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) revelou um -tumor da cauda equina (filum terminal). Procedeu-se à excisão completa do tumor; o exame histológico permitiu diagnosticar um ependimoma mixo-papilar do filum terminal. No pós-operatório verificou-se retenção urinária transitória que resolveu gradualmente. Dois anos após a cirurgia o doente encontra-se assintomático persistindo apenas ausência dos reflexos aquilianos. Faz-se uma pequena abordagem das manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico e terapêutica dos ependimomas espinhais

In Vivo Effects of Cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica, DC.) Leaf Extracts on Diarrhea Treatment

Eugenia dysenterica is a plant typically found in the Cerrado biome and commonly used in popular medicine due to its pharmacological properties, which include antidiarrheal, skin healing, and antimicrobial activities. The effects of ethanolic extract, aqueous extract and infusion of E. dysenterica leaves on intestinal motility and antidiarrheal activity were evaluated using ricin oil-induced diarrhea in rats. At doses of 400 and 800 mg·Kg−1, the ethanolic extract decreased intestinal motility while the other extracts showed no significant effects. Moreover, serum levels of chloride, magnesium, and phosphorus were also measured in rats. Histopathologic and enzymatic analyses were also performed to investigate any toxic effect. Animals treated with infusion, ethanolic extract, ricin oil, and loperamide presented morphological alterations in the small intestine, such as mucosa lesion, epithelial layer damage, and partial loss and/or morphological change of villi. Furthermore, the liver showed congestion and hydropic degeneration. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase increased significantly in all treatments, but none rose above reference values. In summary, our results suggest that compounds present in leaves of E. dysenterica may have therapeutic benefits on recovery from diarrhea despite their toxic effects

Thermodynamics of Crossover from Weak- to Strong-Coupling Superconductivity

In this paper we study an evolution of low-temperature thermodynamical quantities for an electron gas with a $\delta$-function attraction as the system crosses over from weak-coupling (BCS-type) to strong-coupling (Bose-type) superconductivity in three and two dimensions.Comment: Replaced with journal version.
