On Teitelbaum type L-invariants of Hilbert Modular forms attached to definite quaternions
We generalize Teitelbaum's work on the definition of the L-invariant to Hilbert modular forms that arise from definite quaternion algebras over totally real fields by the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. Conjecturally this coincides with the Fontaine-Mazur type L-invariant, defined by applying Fontaine's theory to the Galois representation associated to Hilbert modular forms. An exceptional zero conjecture for the p-adic L-function of Hilbert modular forms is also proposed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.X1111Ysciescopu
Impact of perioperative redox balance on long-term outcome in patients undergoing lung resection
Lack of evidence for a role of Epstein–Barr virus in the increase of lung cancer in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
AbstractIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is known as an independent risk factor for lung cancer. Because Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) may be involved in the genesis of IPF as well as certain malignancies, we investigated whether EBV contributes to the increased incidence of lung cancer in IPF. The formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung sections were prepared from 22 lung cancer patients with IPF and 22 lung cancer patients without IPF. All of the IPF patients pathologically showed usual interstitial pneumonia. In situ hybridization for EBV-encoded small non-polyadenylated RNAs failed to show positive signals in the cancer tissues of either IPF or non-IPF patients. This study did not provide evidence for an etiologic role of EBV in the development of lung cancer in IPF
Back-table procedure and auto-lung transplantation for locally advanced lung cancer: a case report
Behavior problems and prevalence of asthma symptoms among Brazilian children.
OBJECTIVE: Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood and has been designated a public health problem due to the increase in its prevalence in recent decades, the amount of health service expenditure it absorbs and an absence of consensus about its etiology. The relationships among psychosocial factors and the occurrence, symptomatology, and severity of asthma have recently been considered. There is still controversy about the association between asthma and a child's mental health, since the pathways through which this relationship is established are complex and not well researched. This study aims to investigate whether behavior problems are associated with the prevalence of asthma symptoms in a large urban center in Latin America. METHODS: It is a cross-section study of 869 children between 6 and 12 years old, residents of Salvador, Brazil. The International Study of Allergy and Asthma in Childhood (ISAAC) instrument was used to evaluate prevalence of asthma symptoms. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was employed to evaluate behavioral problems. RESULTS: 19.26% (n=212) of the children presented symptoms of asthma. 35% were classified as having clinical behavioral problems. Poisson's robust regression model demonstrated a statistically significant association between the presence of behavioral problems and asthma symptoms occurrence (PR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.10-1.85). CONCLUSION: These results suggest an association between behavioral problems and pediatric asthma, and support the inclusion of mental health care in the provision of services for asthma morbidity
