RESUMO

People believe that some lies are ethical, while also claiming that "honesty is the best policy." In this article, we introduce a theory to explain this apparent inconsistency. Even though people view prosocial lies as ethical, they believe it is more important-and more moral-to avoid harmful lies than to allow prosocial lies. Unconditional honesty (simply telling the truth, without finding out how honesty will affect others) is therefore seen as ethical because it prevents the most unethical actions (i.e., harmful lies) from occurring, even though it does not optimize every moral decision. We test this theory across five focal experiments and 10 supplemental studies. Consistent with our account, we find that communicators who tell the truth without finding out how honesty will affect others are viewed as more ethical, and are trusted more, than communicators who look for information about the social consequences of honesty before communicating. However, the moral preference for unconditional honesty attenuates when it is certain that looking for more information will not lead to harmful lies. Overall, this research provides a holistic understanding of how people think about honesty and suggests that moral rules are not valued because people believe all rule violations are wrong, but rather, because they believe some violations must be avoided entirely.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness and impact of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum (Pnp) on postoperative quality of recovery (QoR) and surgical workspace (SWS) in patients with prostate cancer undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A randomised, triple-blinded trial was conducted in a single centre in Denmark from March 2021 to January 2022. A total of 98 patients with prostate cancer undergoing RARP were randomly assigned to either low-pressure Pnp (7 mmHg) or standard-pressure Pnp (12 mmHg). Co-primary outcomes were postoperative QoR measured via the QoR-15 questionnaire on postoperative Day 1 (POD1), POD3, POD14, and POD30, and SWS assessed intraoperatively by a blinded assessor (surgeon) via a validated SWS scale. Data analysis was performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS: Patients who underwent RARP at low Pnp pressure demonstrated better postoperative QoR on POD1 (mean difference = 10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.4-15.5), but no significant differences were observed in the SWS (mean difference = 0.25, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.54). Patients allocated to low-pressure Pnp experienced statistically higher blood loss than those in the standard-pressure Pnp group (mean difference = 67 mL, P = 0.01). Domain analysis revealed significant improvements in pain (P = 0.001), physical comfort (P = 0.007), and emotional state (P = 0.006) for patients with low-pressure Pnp. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04755452, on 16/02/2021. CONCLUSION: Performing RARP at low Pnp pressure is feasible without compromising the SWS and improves postoperative QoR, including pain, physical comfort, and emotional state, compared to the standard pressure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The histogenesis and differentiation of eccrine tumors, including cylindroma, poroma, spiradenoma and syringoma, remains controversial. This controversy may be because of sporadic and incomplete studies of these neoplasms. METHODS: Ten examples each of normal eccrine structures and of four benign eccrine tumors are analyzed with antibodies to cytokeratin (CK) 7, CD34, CK6, CK10, smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD10. These markers represent two different immunohistochemical stains for each part of the eccrine structure; CK7 and CD34 stain the secretory coil, CK6 and CK10 stain the straight duct and SMA and CD10 stain the myoepithelial cells. This redundancy in staining is performed on four benign eccrine tumors to better interpret the existing literature. RESULTS: We find that CK7 is a sensitive marker for the secretory coil; both cylindromas and spiradenomas express CK7. We also find that CK6 is a marker for the inner ductal cells, while CK10 is a marker for the middle ductal cells; syringomas express both these markers. SMA appears to be a more specific marker for myoepithelial cells surrounding normal eccrine coils, and none of the studied tumors express SMA or CD10. CONCLUSIONS: Our studies suggest that syringomas are tumors of the eccrine duct, while cylindromas and spiradenomas are tumors of the secretory coil.

RESUMO

Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a rare disorder associated with poor absorption of zinc. A variety of clinical and histological findings have been reported in the literature, described mainly in isolated case reports. Because of the varied nature of these cases, the histological features of AE are described often as non-specific. We describe lesions of AE in two patients who presented with vesiculobullous and erosive skin lesions, both showing intra-epidermal, inflammatory vesiculation with surrounding eosinophilic epidermis and necrotic keratinocytes. The lack of clinical suspicion of AE led to their misdiagnosis. We present these two patients to further characterize the bullous variant of AE, and we review the previously reported clinical and histopathological findings.

RESUMO

Given that nevi may grow in size, mitotic figures may be expected in melanocytic nevi. We reviewed the literature for studies addressing this issue. We sought to determine the number of mitotic figures we might discover upon review of a group of randomly collected, conventional nevi. We reviewed 157 nevi from patients and found seven nevi exhibiting mitotic figures, comprising 4% of our sample. We noted the location of the mitoses within the nevi, the presence of any congenital features, as well as other features such as signs of inflammation or irritation. Through this study we have shown that occasional mitoses occur within unremarkable, conventional nevi.

RESUMO

Rosacea fulminans is characterized by the sudden onset of large, coalescing nodules and draining sinuses on the face. A few reports have linked medications to this condition, but none have described the onset of rosacea fulminans with pegylated interferon or ribavirin therapy. We report a patient who presented with rosacea fulminans after initiation of therapy for Hepatitis C.

RESUMO

Ascending cholinergic projections and the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) have both been implicated in attentional and orienting mechanisms leading to adaptive behavioral responses. In view of this, the present study was carried out to identify relevant neuroanatomical relationships in the form of projections from the CeA and a related structure, the dorsolateral divison of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (dlBST), to parts of the basal forebrain and mesopontine tegmentum that contain magnocellular cholinergic neurons. The CeA and dlBST are components of the 'central division of extended amygdala'. Following injections of the anterogradely transported compounds, Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin or biotinylated dextran amine, into the CeA or dlBST, sections were processed with immunohistochemical reagents to localize the anterograde tracer and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). The trajectories of efferent projections from CeA and dlBST were qualitatively similar. Few ChAT-immunoreactive (ir) neurons were present within the extended amygdala or regions containing the dense terminations of its efferent projections, with the striking exception of the caudal sublenticular/anterior amygdaloid region. The ChAT-ir neurons there, however, were significantly smaller and weakly ChAT-ir as compared to those located outside of the dense extended amygdaloid terminations. In the mesopontine tegmentum, the robust downstream projection from the extended amygdala was centered medial to ChAT-ir neurons of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus. The differentiated character of the relationships between extended amygdala and forebrain and mesopontine districts containing ChAT-ir neurons that give rise to ascending projections may have significant implications for the control of cortical and diencephalic acetylcholine release and accompanying effects on attention, vigilance and locomotor activation.
