Differences in Colorectal Cancer Survival Based on Primary Tumor Location: Retrospective Study from a Single Institution.

Objective: The location of the primary tumor in colorectal cancer (CRC) could be a prognostic factor related to survival. However, its usefulness has not been sufficiently analyzed. The results in patients with tumors in initial stages are very limited, and there are descriptive parameters of survival that have not been analyzed in detail. In this study, the relationship between primary tumor location and survival in CRC patients was analyzed. Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. All patients treated consecutively for CRC between January 2005 and December 2019 in the same hospital center were included. Overall survival (OS), cancer-related survival (CRS), time to recurrence (TTR), relapse-free survival (RFS) and postrecurrence survival (PRS) were analyzed, and the results were classified by tumor stage. The results were compared among patients with right colon (RS), left colon (LS) and rectal tumors. Results: In the entire cohort, patients with RS tumors had lower OS and lower CRS at 60 months after diagnosis than did patients with LS or rectal tumors. In the regression analysis, the localization of the primary tumor was an independent prognostic indicator for OS and CRS. Analysis by tumor stage showed that patients with RS stage III tumors had lower OS and lower CRS at 60 months than did patients with LS and rectal tumors (42%, 59% and 53%, respectively, p = 0.006; and 48%, 63% and 57%, respectively, p = 0.025). Additionally, patients with RS Stage IV tumors had lower OS and lower CRS at 36 months than did patients with LS and rectal tumors (9%, 24%, 24%, respectively, p < 0.001; and 10%, 24% and 24%, respectively, p < 0.001). No differences were found in TTR and RFS among patients with stage I and II RS, LS, and rectal tumors. In contrast, patients with stage RS III tumors had significantly poorer PRS (9% for RS tumors, 13% for LS tumors, and 22% for rectal tumors) (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The location of the primary tumor in patients with CRC is related to survival. The effect of laterality is more marked in patients with stage III and IV tumors. Patients with RS tumors had lower OS and CRS due to the lower survival of patients with stage IV RS tumors and lower PRS for patients with stage III tumors.

Ventilatory Pattern Influences Tolerance to Normobaric Hypoxia in Healthy Adults.

INTRODUCTION: Tolerance to breathing in conditions with a decreased oxygen ratio is subject-specific. A normobaric hypoxia tolerance test (NHTT) is performed to assess the ability of each individual, as this may be influenced by genetic or personal factors such as age or gender. The aim of this study is to test the influence of deep breathing on hypoxia tolerance time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 45 subjects (21 parachutists and 24 students) performed two NHTTs at 5050 m altitude (iAltitude). Arterial (SatO2) and muscle (SmO2) oxygen saturation were monitored with the Humon Hex® device. The first NHTT was performed with free breathing, without any instructions; and the second NHTT was performed with wide, slow, diaphragmatic breathing. The NHTT was terminated at the end of 10 min or when a value of less than 83% was obtained. RESULTS: The first NHTT was completed by 38.1% of parachutist and 33.3% of students while the second NHTT was completed by 85.7% and 75%, respectively. In the second NHTT, both parachutists and students had a significantly (p = 0.001) longer duration compared to the first NHTT. SmO2 and SatO2 values also increased significantly (p < 0.001) in both groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Performing controlled diaphragmatic breathing is successful in increasing hypoxia tolerance time and/or SatO2 values.

Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test: Comparison of traditional and qualitative scoring systems after unilateral temporal lobectomy.

OBJECTIVE: We compared the performance on the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF) of patients that had undergone unilateral anterior temporal lobectomy under both Taylor's and Loring's scoring systems to identify the sensitivity and specificity of each item for differentiating visuospatial memory deficits. METHOD: We administered the ROCF to evaluate the visual memory of 37 left anterior temporal lobectomy (LATL) and 38 right anterior temporal lobectomy (RATL) patients with unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy who had undergone a standard unilateral anterior temporal lobectomy between 1996 and 2010. Fisher's exact and Qui-Quadrado tests were used to analyze the relationships between the qualitative variables. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the quantitative variables from the right and left sides. RESULTS: RATL patients performed worse than LATL patients based on the total score for delayed recall (DR) (p = 0.012). The scoring system's showed a specificity of 97.2% & 78.9% and sensitivity of 10.5% & 62.2% on DR, for the Taylor and Loring systems respectively. Our detailed analysis of certain items showed that some differed between the groups in terms of the presence/absence, correct reproduction, and errors of those items. Loring' errors I, IV, and X on DR and errors IV and X on immediate recall were more frequent in the RATL group. CONCLUSIONS: The use of these two scoring systems combined may help maximize sensitivity and specificity with clinical populations. Further, our analyses showed that items could be clustered better and different weights could be given to them to maximize sensitivity and specificity.

The SISBIOTA-Diptera Brazilian Network: A long-term survey of Diptera from unexplored Brazilian Western Arc of Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal

ABSTRACT The SISBIOTA-BRASIL was a three-year multimillion-dollar research program of the Brazilian government to document plants and animals in endangered/understudied areas and biomes in Brazil. Distributional patterns and the historical events that generated them are extensively unknown regarding Brazilian fauna and flora. This deficiency hinders the development of conservation policies and the understanding of evolutionary processes. Conservation decisions depend on precise knowledge of the taxonomy and geographic distribution of species. Given such a premise, we proposed to research the diversity of Diptera of the Brazilian western arc of Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal in the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rondônia. Three important biomes of the South American continent characterize these Brazilian states: Amazon forest, Cerrado (Brazilian Savannah), and Pantanal. Besides their ecological relevance, these biomes historically lack intensive entomological surveys. Therefore, they are much underrepresented in the Brazilian natural history collections and in the scientific literature, which is further aggravated by the fact that these areas are being exponentially and rapidly converted to commercial lands. Our project involved over 90 collaborators from 24 different Brazilian institutions and one from Colombia among researchers, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students, and technicians. We processed and analyzed nearly 300,000 specimens from ~60 families of Diptera collected with a large variety of methods in the sampled areas. Here, we provide a detailed overview of the genera and species diversity of 41 families treated. Our results point to a total of 2,130 species and 514 genera compiled and identified for the three states altogether, with an increase of 41% and 29% in the numbers of species and genera known for the three states combined, respectively. Overall, the 10 most species-rich families were Tachinidae, Cecidomyiidae, Tabanidae, Psychodidae, Sarcophagidae, Stratiomyidae, Bombyliidae, Syrphidae, Tephritidae, and Asilidae. The 10 most diverse in the number of genera were Tachinidae, Stratiomyidae, Asilidae, Mycetophilidae, Syrphidae, Tabanidae, Muscidae, Dolichopodidae, Sarcophagidae, and Chloropidae. So far, 111 scientific papers were published regarding taxonomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographical aspects of the studied families, with the description of 101 new species and three new genera. We expect that additional publications will result from this investigation because several specimens are now curated and being researched by specialists.

Prey of the Patagonian species Hilarempis sigillata Collin (Diptera, Empididae, Empidinae, Hilarini), and the first record of nocturnal activity in the tribe

ABSTRACT The Empididae fauna of Chile is basically known from a taxonomic perspective. Herein, we have added biological data based on a species of Hilarini, improving our knowledge regarding the southern temperate fauna of the family. We report for the first time the prey and nocturnal activities of the Patagonian empidid species Hilarempis sigillata Collin, 1933. Specimens were collected until two hours after sunset on a white light sheet at a river margin in the Chilean region of Los Lagos, close to the Puyehue National Park. Adults were found on the sheet with prey of the Chironomidae genera Cricotopus, Xestochironomus, Microtendipes, Podochlus, Heptagyia and Reissmesa (Diptera), as well as a species of the Coniopterygidae genus Semidalis (Neuroptera) and a species of the Limoniidae genus Erioptera (Diptera). The empidids held the prey close to their body using the mid tarsi, in most cases with the ventral side of the prey turned up or laterally.

Soldier flies (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) on semideciduous seasonal forest fragments, with a list of species for São Paulo State, Brazil, and two new records of species for the country

ABSTRACT Although the species richness of Stratiomyidae (Diptera) in Brazil (~340 species) is one of the highest for the family worldwide, we still do not know the actual number of species, the extent of their distribution, or the species seasonal dynamics for a single area in the Neotropics. The soldier fly fauna in the semideciduous seasonal forests, which cover a major area of the countryside of the state of São Paulo, is poorly known compared to the best-known areas in the Atlantic Forest for stratiomyids, such as the ombrophilous forests on the southeast coast. With the constant habitat fragmentation of the remnants of the semideciduous forests in the state for crops and pastures for cattle, we are losing valuable data about biodiversity. This study details the stratiomyids for a single area in the Neotropical Region, using a standardized collecting methodology with Malaise traps, from May 2010 to December 2011. Here, we provide a list of 41 stratiomyid species and 25 genera in eight subfamilies from a total of 1,533 specimens collected in the Reserva Biológica e Ecológica Augusto Ruschi, Sertãozinho, Brazil. The current number of species/morphospecies reported for the state of São Paulo is raised to 113, with Merosargus golbachi James, 1971 in James and McFadden, 1971 and M. tripartitus James, 1971 in James and McFadden, 1971 reported for the first time to Brazil. Our analyses estimate even higher richness in the studied area, probably between 48 to 114 species, indicating that further collection efforts are needed.

The Effects of Prenatal Diagnosis on the Interaction of the Mother-Infant Dyad: A Longitudinal Study of Prenatal Care in the First Year of Life.

Introduction: Mother-child interactions during the first years of life have a significant impact on the emotional and cognitive development of the child. In this work, we study how a prenatal diagnosis of malformation may affect maternal representations and the quality of these early interactions. To this end, we conducted a longitudinal observational study of mother-child interactions from the gestational stage until the baby completed 12 months of age. Participants and Methods: We recruited 250 pregnant women from a local university hospital. Among them, 50 mother-infant dyads participated in all stages of the study. The study group consisted of 25 pregnant women with fetuses with some structural alteration and the control group consisted of 25 pregnant women with fetuses without structural anomalies. We collected obstetric and socio demographic data and pregnancy outcomes. Anxiety and depressive state data were collected using the COVI and Raskin Scales. We video-recorded the mother-infant interactions during several stages, including when the child was a newborn and when the child was 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of age. The quality of the mother infant interactions were measured using the Coding Interactive Behavior (CIB). The interactive moments recorded on video was composed of three different activities, each one lasting appoximately 3 min, which included (1) Free Interaction, where the mother was instructed to interact "as usual" without any toy, (2) Toy Interaction, where the mother and baby played with a puppv, and (3) Song Interaction, where the mother and baby interacted while the mother sang the "Happy Birthday" song. Results: In the gestational phase, there was a significant difference between the groups with respect to anxiety and depression scores, which were significantly higher for the study group. In the postnatal phase, we found significant differences between the groups with respect to CIB scales after the child completed 6 months of age: the study group presented significantly higher values of Maternal Sensitivity at 6 months of age, of Baby Involvement at 9 and 12 months of age, and of Dyadic Reciprocity at 6, 9, and 12 months of age, while the control group presented significantly higher values of Withdrawal of the Baby at 6 months of age, and of Dyadic Negative States at 6 and 9 months of age. Conclusion: The support offered by the study favored the mother-infant bond and had a positive effect on the quality of interaction during the first year of life, despite the presence of prenatal diagnosis.

Vertical stratification of insect abundance and species richness in an Amazonian tropical forest.

Tropical forests are among the most biodiverse biomes on the planet. Nevertheless, quantifying the abundance and species richness within megadiverse groups is a significant challenge. We designed a study to address this challenge by documenting the variability of the insect fauna across a vertical canopy gradient in a Central Amazonian tropical forest. Insects were sampled over two weeks using 6-m Gressitt-style Malaise traps set at five heights (0 m-32 m-8 m intervals) on a metal tower in a tropical forest north of Manaus, Brazil. The traps contained 37,778 specimens of 18 orders of insects. Using simulation approaches and nonparametric analyses, we interpreted the abundance and richness of insects along this gradient. Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Coleoptera had their greatest abundance at the ground level, whereas Lepidoptera and Hemiptera were more abundant in the upper levels of the canopy. We identified species of 38 of the 56 families of Diptera, finding that 527 out of 856 species (61.6%) were not sampled at the ground level. Mycetophilidae, Tipulidae, and Phoridae were significantly more diverse and/or abundant at the ground level, while Tachinidae, Dolichopodidae, and Lauxaniidae were more diverse or abundant at upper levels. Our study suggests the need for a careful discussion of strategies of tropical forest conservation based on a much more complete understanding of the three-dimensional distribution of its insect diversity.

Nonverbal fluency assessed by the five-point test in epilepsy patients with unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis-a Brazilian study.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the performance of epilepsy patients diagnosed with unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) on a nonverbal fluency measure using the five-point test (FPT). Our secondary aim was to investigate any differences in FPT and verbal fluency test (VFT) scores between left and right MTS. We hypothesized that scores on the FPT, commonly utilized in the assessment of individuals with presumed frontal lobe damage, would be lower in patients with temporal lobe dysfunction. METHOD: One hundred eighty patients diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and 150 healthy controls (HCs) were included in this retrospective study. We analyzed correlations between scores obtained from FPT and phonemic and semantic VFT, and scores according to the lateralization of epileptogenic focus in the TLE group. RESULTS: Overall, the TLE patients had lower performance than the HCs on the FPT, but no differences were observed on perseverance rates (p = 0.992). Statistically significant difference was found in both sections of the VFT in association with the lateralization of the epileptogenic zone (p < 0.001). As for the FPT, differences did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.0857). CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the hypothesis of involvement of the temporal areas on tasks such as the FPT, despite the lack of a lateralizing effect. Our findings also contribute to better understanding of the role of the FPT in assessment of executive function in patients with unilateral MTS, and provide further psychometric data on a native Brazilian population.

Thermal sensation in outdoor urban spaces: a study in a Tropical Savannah climate, Brazil.

The present study carried out assessments regarding thermal sensations under different weather conditions in three urban areas in Cuiabá, Brazil, a Tropical Savannah climate (Aw) region. Thermal acceptability by means of thermal sensation votes (TSV) was addressed based on the estimation of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) values. Important issues related to clothing thermal insulation (Icl), the effect of gender on thermal sensation, and implications of artificial conditioning (AC) systems are also evaluated. Micrometeorological variables were determined and 685 questionnaires were applied to evaluate individual pedestrian thermal preferences. The Icl observed in the Tropical climate was lower than that intrinsically inputted by the UTCI for Temperate climates. The local thermal comfort zone ranged between 21.5 and 28.5 °C, with both thresholds higher than those observed in studies conducted in Subtropical, Mediterranean, and Continental Temperate climates while the local hot thermal sensation categories were displaced at least 3 °C above than those for the aforementioned climates. The effect of gender on thermal sensation indicated that females are more sensitive to cold stress conditions than males, requiring higher Icl for temperatures below 28 °C. The physiological adaptation by continuous exposure to AC systems reduced the neutral temperature between AC and non-artificial conditioning system users (NAC) by 0.8 °C, with more intense differences in hot TSV ranges. This study reveals differences between stated TSV classes derived for other climates and those resulting from TSV declared by Savannah local residents, indicating that local thermal sensation scale for UTCI in an important key for environment planning.

Insect (Hexapoda) diversity in the oceanic archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil: updated taxonomic checklist and new records

ABSTRACT Hexapods, commonly known as insects, are a neglected taxonomic group in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, with unanswered questions about their species richness and the ecological processes in which they are involved (e.g., colonization, introduction, establishment, and extinction). Herein, we provide an updated Hexapod checklist with current nomenclatural combinations. The entomofauna of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago is currently composed of 453 species in 21 orders. The orders, and their respective number of species, are: Blattaria (9), Coleoptera (118), Collembola (29), Dermaptera (3), Diplura (1), Diptera (134), Embioptera (1), Hemiptera (29), Hymenoptera (59), Isoptera (2), Lepidoptera (25), Mantodea (1), Neuroptera (3), Odonata (5), Orthoptera (11), Phasmatodea (1), Phthiraptera (6), Psocoptera (3), Siphonaptera (1), Thysanoptera (10), and Zygentoma (2). The archipelago has 263 new taxon records (family + genera + species). Thirty-eight species (3.39%) were described from local specimens and most of them are likely endemic species. This study more than doubles our knowledge (from the previous 190 records) of the entomofauna in this large Brazilian archipelago. This study also provides a baseline for studies on its conservation status and for implementing future environmental management programs.
