Carcinomas de glândula acrircrina são neoplasias malignas raras que ocorrem em gatos. O tratamento disponível é cirúrgico, e geralmente recorrente [1,2] e, neste caso, levaria à ablação total do meatus acústico externo. Em dezembro de 2020, foi relatada uma consulta homeopática do felino, masculino, persa, 13 anos, histórico da doença, iniciada em 2015, somando seis recidivas dos processos tumorais nas pálpebras e formação recente no canal auditivo esquerdo. Análise histopatológica do adenocarcinoma acritorino. Intervenções cirúrgicas e aplicação de ácido tricloroacético para prevenir recidivas. No entanto, foram observadas formações remanescentes nas pálpebras e no canal auditivo. Tem uma forma arredondada enevada na pálpebra superior direita medindo 0,4 cm e a inferior de 0,2 cm, redonda. No canal auditivo esquerdo, cerca de 1,6 cm, além de 4 pontos espalhados nas dobras auditivas. O tratamento homeopático foi iniciado por dois meses com o álbum Arsênico 30 cH, duas vezes ao dia; Carcinosinum 200 cH, uma vez por dia, e complexo contendo Avena sativa 4 cH, Echinacea angustifolia 4 cH, Conium maculatum 6 cH, Thuja officinalis 6 cH e Silicea terra 6 cH, quatro vezes ao dia. A cada dois meses, o quadro era reavaliado, poderes e frequências reajustados. Em poucos meses, houve remissão completa do tumor, recuperação do bem-estar e melhora no humor e apetite. O termo de consentimento livre e informado foi assinado. Não houve recidiva de tumores e cistite até março de 2022. Este estudo mostrou-se eficaz, documentado com fotos e exames. Abordar um caso raro pode fornecer uma nova possibilidade terapêutica. A credibilidade dos relatos de casos homeopáticos de qualidade vem aumentando devido às exigências metodológicas utilizando ferramentas desenvolvidas em estudos recentes. Tais critérios acabam extinguindo relatórios por não atingirem alta qualidade devido a variáveis não controláveis pelo pesquisador.

Full textAbstract:
Rotavirus (RV) is the most common cause of severe childhood diarrhea worldwide. Since 2006, the WHO has approved the use of two vaccines against Rotavirus (RotaTeq and Rotarix), which has contributed to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality from this disease in children under 5 years of age. Beside of that, the presence of vaccines could also cause selective pressure among circulating RV strains. Diarrhea samples were a part of the study of the project “Evaluation of rotavirus vaccine effectiveness in Vietnam” and some diarrhea samples were randomly selected from 2010 - 2015 and were stored in our laboratory. Rotavirus antigen in diarrhea samples was detected using the Premier Rotaclone kit. G and P genotypes were determined by RT-PCR using type specific primers. The nucleotide sequencewas determined by next generation sequencing and phylogenetic analysis was performed by the neighbor-joining method. 375/1715 (21.9%) samples detected G3 strain include equine-like G3 (eG3) and human G3 (hG3). The prevalence of G3 strains decreased from 2016 to 2021. All eleven gene segments were typed among 34 samples and substantial diversity among the circulating strains was observed. The circulating G3 strains were also phylogenetically diverse and related to strains from several different countries, different origins such as human (20 samples), pig (1 sample), cat (3 samples) and equine (10 samples). Comparing with the vaccine strains, the antigenic epitopes present on VP7 ofG3 in Vietnam differed considerably, especially the K238N. With the genetic characteristics of the G3 strain, it could contribute to the vaccine effectiveness in Vietnam.

Full textAbstract:
Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.f. is one of 15 species of conifer in the Central Highlands. Cephalotaxus mannii is a scarce medicinal conifer endemic to the south central region of China and Vietnam. In Vietnam, although widely distributed species (Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Thua Thien Hue, Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Lam Dong...) but is considered rare and vulnerable by the indiscriminately exploitation of people. In this study, 18 SSR markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 34 individuals C. mannii collected in Ta Nung and Hiep An of Lam Dong province. The results showed 12/18 polymorphic markers. Among 36 DNA amplified fragments, 24 were polymorphic (66.66%). Genetic diversity in Hiep An population (h = 0.269; I = 0.449 and PPB = 72.22%) was higher than that of Ta Nung (h = 0.433; I = 0.264 and PPB = 66.67%). The total level of molecular variance (AMOVA) among populations was 27.74% and among individuals within the populations was 72.26%. The average of gene flow value (Nm) of the species C. mannii populations was 3,310. Both Ta Nung and Hiep An populations had Wright’s inbreeding coefficient Fis <0 (- 0.244, - 0.052, respectively) and the private allele (Ap) (0.222, 0.333, respectively). A dendrogram constructed based on similarity matrix of 34 C. mannii samples divided into two main groups with their genetic similarity coefficient ranged from 65% (Cpm31 and Cpm32) to 100% (Cpm16 and Cpm17, Cpm21 and Cpm22). Molecular analysis results showed that C. mannii species should be protected at the population level.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction: The use of iron-chelators is an important clinical treatment for iron overload diseases such as β-Thalassemia (Thal) and neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation. Iron overload can impair immune cell, cardiac and neurological function. Iron chelation can alleviate some of this morbidity, but at increasing doses certain chelating agents can have serious side effects. Plant-based treatments may offer an alternative. In plants, Fe is required for photosynthesis and enzyme production but is often limited for uptake from the soil. When Fe is limited, plant roots may produce a range of compounds, including chelators, to assist in solubilizing Fe precipitates. Plant-produced phenolic acids such as p-coumaric acid (Cou), caffeic acid (Caf), or chlorogenic acid (CGA) have shown an affinity for Fe and may play a role in plant iron uptake. Plants adapted to environments where Fe is more difficult to access, such as alkaline soils, could show a higher prevalence of these compounds, along with plants generally abundant in phenolics. In this project, the alkaline tolerant plants Thuja plicata (cedar) and Lavandula x intermedia (lavender), along with the phenolic rich Populus trichocarpa x deltoides(Poplar), were investigated for their potential to produce Fe-chelators in response to low Fe. Methods: Cedar, lavender, and poplar cuttings were clonally propagated and cultivated aeroponically to improve efficiency of root collection. Extracts or exudates from roots grown with or without Fe were isolated for characterization as Fe-chelators. Phenolics from root washings were captured with chromatography and separated by collection into fractions in different solvents. These were evaluated for total phenolic concentration against gallic acid as a standard. An in vitro competition assay was used to characterize Fe-binding ability of root isolates. Isolates were compared to standard chelators DFO and EDTA, and model compounds Cou, Caf, and CGA to determine inhibition of the competition reaction. A bioassay quantified intracellular Fe in monocytic THP-1 cells (to model RE system) grown for 8 weeks with chronic relevant non-transferrin bound iron levels (4-20 μM Fe-citrate, CrFe) and without (Con). Cultures were also investigated for other effects of acute Fe treatment and potential chelators over time. Results: Aeroponic plant cultivation improved root health and growth compared to previous hydroponic methods. Fe-deficient plants produced isolates that were different from Fe-normal plants following an analysis of phenolic fractions. Isolates in isopropanol were found to be 104% more plentiful in Fe-deficient poplars, which may indicate Fe-chelating potential. Between species, lavender had the highest phenolic concentration in root isolates, followed by cedar and poplar. Cedar roots showed an increased composition of phenolics compared to Fe-deficient poplar, supporting the potential for species-specific Fe responses. Analysis of Fe responses between species is ongoing. Competition assays showed that lavender root isolates exhibited 36% greater inhibition than 80 μM EDTA and 46% greater than 100 μM DFO. In direct comparison to DFO at 50 μM, Caf was equivalent, CGA had 30% greater inhibition, and inhibition by Cou was 41% lower. CrFe cells had 104% greater intracellular Fe compared to Con cells. Addition of acute Fe over 24 h significantly increased Fe content of cells grown in both CrFe and Con conditions and altered cell viability. A dose-dependent reduction in Fe levels was seen with increasing CGA in both CrFe and Con cells. Overall, Fe in samples treated with CGA were comparable to those with DFO. The effect of plant root isolates on intracellular Fe and cell viability is ongoing. Conclusion: Plant species from different soil types have altered responses to Fe-deficiency. Lavender and cedar, more tolerant of unfavorable soils, may produce more Fe-chelating phenolics as part of their response to low Fe. This was observed in vitro, as lavender isolates contain chelators that stimulate inhibition of the competition reaction similarly to DFO and EDTA at moderate concentrations. As a model, Caf, CGA and Cou also prove to have Fe-chelating activity comparable to DFO at lower concentrations. After using these plant compounds in bioassays, their successful reduction of intracellular Fe in CrFe THP-1 cells show the promise of plant root isolates to be clinically useful Fe-chelators.

Full textAbstract:
The biodiversity of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae), which are biting insects of medical and veterinary importance, is strikingly high in Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. In 2013, we began to explore the fauna of black flies in Vietnam, which has so far been poorly studied. In this monograph, the wealth of the biodiversity of black flies in Vietnam is also confirmed on the basis of the results of our recent investigations, though limited to five provinces in the country. Morphotaxonomic studies of black flies obtained from Sapa, Lao Cai Province, northern Vietnam, in 2014 and Nghe An Province, northern Vietnam, in 2015, and reexaminations of black flies collected from Tam Dao, Vinh Phuc Province, northern Vietnam, in 2013, Thua Thien Hue Province, central Vietnam, in 2014, and Lam Dong Province, southern Vietnam, in 2014, were conducted. A total of 22 species are described as new, including one in the newly recorded subgenus Montisimulium Rubtsov, and three species are recognized as new records from Vietnam. This investigation brings the number of species of black flies known in Vietnam to 70, all of which are assigned to the genus Simulium Latreille, and are placed in four subgenera (25 in Gomphostilbia Enderlein, one in Montisimulium, seven in Nevermannia Enderlein, and 37 in Simulium Latreille s. str.). The numbers of species-groups recognized include seven in Gomphostilbia, three in Nevermannia and nine in Simulium, indicating a high diversity of putative phylogenetic lineages. New species include S. (G.) sanchayense sp. nov. (= the species formerly regarded as S. (G.) brinchangense Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Hashim), S. (S.) lowi sp. nov. (= the species formerly regarded as S. (S.) brevipar Takaoka & Davies), S. (S.) fuscicoxae sp. nov. [= the species formerly regarded as S. (S.) rufibasis Brunetti (in part)], S. (S.) suoivangense sp. nov. [= morphoform ‘b’ of the S. (S.) tani Takaoka & Davies (complex)]. Newly recorded species are S. (G.) parahiyangum Takaoka & Sigit, S. (N.) maeaiense Takaoka & Srisuka, and S. (S.) doipuiense Takaoka & Choochote (complex) [= the species formerly regarded as S. (S.) rufibasis Brunetti (in part)]. The substitute name, S. (S.) huense, is given for the species that was described under the name of S. (S.) cavum from southern Vietnam. A redescription of the female, male, pupa and larva of S. (G.) asakoae Takaoka & Davies is presented, and the female and larva of S. (G.) hongthaii Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Ya’cob are described for the first time. Keys to 10 subgenera in the Oriental Region and all 70 species recorded from Vietnam are provided for females, males, pupae and mature larvae. As investigations extend nationwide in all the provinces in Vietnam, more new species and records are expected to be discovered. It is hoped that this monograph will be useful as a baseline taxonomic reference for future studies of black flies in Vietnam and neighbouring countries.

Full textAbstract:
Reconnus par l’UNESCO comme patrimoines mondiaux depuis 1993 et réputés, les villages de métiers artisanaux de la province de Thừa Thiên Huế (Vietnam) véhiculent les valeurs culturelles et identitaires de la région par le biais de produits artisanaux. La disparition progressive des métiers artisanaux fait prendre conscience de ces richesses culturelles et s'impose ainsi comme un défi pour la province en général et pour les artisans en particulier. La mise en tourisme, par la création d'emplois pour les autochtones et par la pérennisation des patrimoines culturels de ces villages, dévoile les réalités des mutations touristiques, qui concernent plusieurs acteurs. Cette recherche s'attache donc à mettre en évidence trois grands points essentiels. Premièrement, les répercussions culturelles et économiques influencent directement et/ou indirectement la communauté indigène. Deuxièmement, les nouveaux emplois contribuent à améliorer la vie des habitants. Enfin, il s’agit de montrer les difficultés rencontrées localement vis-à-vis du développement durable du tourisme communautaire dans les villages de métiers artisanauxRecognized by UNESCO since 1993 as a world heritage, the province of Thừa Thiên Huế (Vietnam) is also known for handicraft villages. The cultural and identity values of the region are involved through artisanal products. The awareness of reviving handicrafts is a great challenge for the province in general and artisans in particular, because of the disappearance of these trades. Thus, the setting in tourism by creating jobs with the autochthones and by perpetuating these cultural heritages in these villages, unveils realities of the tourist mutations of several actors concerned. So this research focuses on highlighting the three key points. First, cultural and economic impacts directly and / or indirectly affect the indigenous community. Second, new jobs help improve the lives of local people. Lately, it concerns the difficulties encountered with regard to the sustainable development of community tourism in artisan craft villages

Full textAbstract:
The Thule culture is the most widespread Arctic whaling culture; its distribution commonly associated by researchers with climatic warming. Its origins between A.D. 900 and 1200, and development in the Birnirk and Punuk cultures are contested between Siberia and Alaska, out of a base of Old Bering Sea cultures. Although reliant on whaling, the degree of social complexity in Thule remains uncertain, as the trade in iron decreases as does aesthetic elaboration. The last incarnation of a “Northern maritime tradition” and the predecessor of modern Iñupiat and Inuit, the considerable and renowned Thule whaling prowess lends their origin a political cast in modern communities.

Full textAbstract:
The eastern Arctic and Greenland are characterized by diverse paleoclimatic histories. A range of biological, geochemical, and geophysical indicators preserved in ice cores, lake, and ocean sediments, landscape features, or boreholes can be applied to reconstructing Holocene climates over the period of human occupation. Soon after humans arrived in the eastern Arctic around 4800 cal B.P., regional temperatures began to decline. While the proxy records show a strong regional signal, this period of Neoglacial cooling has considerable local variability related to degree of continentality, sea ice conditions and elevation. Much later, the effect of the Medieval Warm Period (AD 850-1360) on the Thule migration appears to have been overstated. Because of the considerable spatiotemporal variability in available paleoclimate reconstructions from the eastern Arctic, data from multiple sites must be integrated, and for archaeological applications, regional syntheses need to be considered alongside highly local reconstructions.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers “solarity” as an elemental agent that shapes the cultural regimes of the circumpolar North. I discuss how solar energy weathers the artifacts of the Thule people, the ancestors of the contemporary Inuit. The sun draws out the oils and bleaches the surfaces of Thule remains, yielding them up for use in the production of tools, commodities and archaeological objects of study. But where this process might be understood to neutralize the meaning of Thule artifacts, priming them for scientific study, I suggest otherwise. Following the lead of Inuit mythology, I locate solarity in its diurnal and seasonal interplay with other irreducible elements, as these overlap, transgress and withdraw from one another. This trajectory counteracts the technoscientific perspective at work in environmental archaeology, that would position cultural changes (from the Thule to the Inuit, specifically) as a passive adaptation to natural change. By contrast, I position solarity as a force that vitalizes material culture, its capacity to cast shadows and yield an account of artifacts beyond positivist frames. The insights of solarity come by way of reading its interaction with the moon, the night, with bone and sinew, with land and water, tools and carvings, climate changes, animal migrations, and the forced displacement of the circumpolar Inuit.

Abstract The Little Blue Heron is a specialist in shallow water stalking, and it benefits from being alone where it can walk very slowly along taking care not to scare its potential prey, or by feeding commensally following another animal capturing the prey it disturbs. Its engagement in feeding aggregations apparently is an extension of its commensal feeding.

This chapter explores the vision of a geographical area that began with disappearing geographical, political, and philosophical boundaries and the emerging new horizons for the Eurasian Region. It explores the role of technology infused adult learning in the achievement of that vision that is sustainable. Over the past almost 30 years, these countries have engaged in a search for sustainable growth and for the ideal of a digital economy. Throughout history, adult learning has been at the core of any forward moving initiative. This chapter will address how this ideal can become reality through exploration of the theories and practices of adult learning infused with technology.

In Advances in Forest Fire Research 2022, 533–38. Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.14195/978-989-26-2298-9_83.
Full textAbstract:
Realistic modeling of the vegetation fires based on reliable data from laboratory experiments is a key factor in the prediction of the fire dynamics ‎behavior and its spread rate in wildlands. A robust understating of the fire behavior in different species can provide a pragmatic insight to take precautionary steps to mitigate the fire risks in Wildland-urban interfaces. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of ‎wildland fires ‎offers a considerably high load of information needed for engineers and policymakers. This paper addresses the numerical modeling of common Ivy (Hedera helix) and grapevine ‎(Vitis)‎ plants using the fire dynamics ‎simulation for the fire behavior analysis. Other species which authors have conducted experiments are Acacia, Apple tree, Arizona cypress, Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), Blueberry tree (Prunus Spinosa), Cherry Tree, Fig tree, Gum rockrose (Cistus ladanifer), Hydrangea, Kiwi tree, Leyland cypress, Lindens (Tilia), Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), Nerium oleander, Olive tree, Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii), Rhus typhina (Anacardiaceae), The Holly (Ilex Aquifolium), Thuja occidentalis (white cedar), and Wild Blackberry (Rubus Ulmifolius) shrub, in alphabetical order. The corresponding mathematical modelings of these experiments are being carried out by the authors. The current numerical study was performed using the NIST open-source FDS 6.7.7 code, developed by ‎‎the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with specific emphasis on the heat release rate from fires in different types of indigenous plants common in the Mediterranean climate, especially in Portugal. The validations of the numerical results are realized based on the observations from the ‎experiments conducted at the Laboratório de Estudos Sobre Incêndios Florestais (LEIF) by the authors. The large-eddy ‎simulation (LES) is used in these sets of simulations to close the turbulence equations in the low-Mach regime. The 2nd order accurate finite difference approximation scheme is used to discretize the governing equations on uniformly spaced three-dimensional staggered grids. The flow obstructions are ‎treated using the simple immersed boundary method. Comparing the results of the FDS with those from the practical experiments, it is concluded that mathematical modeling of the vegetation fires can provide reasonably accurate results based on the fuel’s physical and chemical characteristics along with operating boundary conditions.

In Climate Variability and Ecosystem Response in Long-Term Ecological Research Sites. Oxford University Press, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780195150599.003.0037.
Full textAbstract:
The H. J. Andrews (AND) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site represents the temperate coniferous forest of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States. The general climate of the area is highly dynamic, displaying variability at a variety of timescales ranging from daily to millennial. AND, and its surrounding region, is therefore an ideal site for examining some of the guiding questions of climate variability and ecosystem response addressed by this volume (see chapter 1). A legacy of more than 50 years of research at the site and its surrounding area ensures that several of the questions can be investigated in some depth. Here we organize our discussion within a timescale framework that is consistent with the structure of this volume. Thus, following a brief description of the general climate of the site, we discuss climate variability and ecosystem response at the daily, multidecadal, and century to millennial scale. This discussion for the PNW is supplemented in chapters 6 and 13 by a consideration of the quasi-quintennial scale and an additional ecosystem response at the decadal scale. Having described some of the climate variability and ecosystem response at the selected timescales, we will consider what this information can tell us regarding some of the guiding questions of this book. The questions that we specifically address include the following: What preexisting conditions affect the impact of the climatic event or episode? Is the climatic effect on the ecosystems direct or cascading? Does the system return to its original state? We also consider potential future climate change and its possible ecosystem effects. Located at latitude 44.2º N and longitude 122.2º W, the Andrews Forest is situated in the western Cascade Range of Oregon in the 6400-ha (15,800-acre) drainage basin of Lookout Creek, a tributary of the Blue River and the McKenzie River (figure 19.1). Elevation ranges from 410 m (1350 feet) to 1630 m (5340 feet). Broadly representative of the rugged mountainous landscape of the Pacific Northwest (PNW), the Andrews Forest contains excellent examples of the region’s conifer forests and associated wildlife and stream ecosystems. Lower elevation forests are dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and western red cedar (Thuja plicata).

Full textAbstract:
The rise of bacterial resistance to currently employed antibiotics is causing growing concerns for public health. The emergence of highly resistant bacterial strains results in the ineffectiveness of antibiotic treatments against many bacterial infections. As a result, there is an ongoing quest for new antimicrobial agents. This pursuit can take two main directions: one involves the design and synthesis of novel agents, while the other involves exploring natural sources to uncover previously undiscovered antimicrobial compounds. Herbal medications, particularly, have garnered renewed interest due to the perception that they tend to cause fewer adverse reactions when compared to synthetic pharmaceuticals. Moreover, the lower costs of producing plant-based preparations make searching for natural therapeutics appealing. This study aims to assess the antimicrobial properties of Thuja occidentalis (TO) and Platycladus orientalis (PO) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using specified reference strains: Streptococcus pyogenes (ATCC 19615), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19114), Bacillus cereus (ATCC 10876), Clostridium perfringens (ATCC 13124), Shigella flexneri (ATCC 12022), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028) and Haemophilus influenzae type B (ATCC 10211) Additionally, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Following ISO 20776-1:2019 guidelines, we assessed the antimicrobial activity by measuring the reduction in microbial mass through spectrophotometry to determine changes in optical density (OD). Our findings indicate that the TO and PO extracts inhibit Gram-positive bacteria, particularly at the initial concentration tested.

Certain studies have determined specific conifers, which can be found in urban and industrial areas can be used to monitor the degree of air pollution being used for passive biomonitoring processes. The needles and bark of conifers taken from the industrial and urban areas of the Jiu Valley, mercury, chromium) and arsenic, after acid mineralization of the samples of pine bark (Pinus sp.), spruce (Picea Abies) and thuja (Thuja Occidentalis) and those taken from these conifers in the urban area and in the vicinity of the industrial units in the Jiu Valley. The processing of experimental data allowed the use of conifers to detect the accumulation and degree of heavy metal pollution. The results of this study show that the highest concentrations of heavy metals were found in areas with heavy traffic, as well as in the vicinity of industrial areas, the Jiu Valley, being an area with a highly developed mining industry. The lowest concentrations of heavy metals in the analyzed samples were found in the vicinity of recreational areas and parks.

Full textAbstract:
Green spaces are one of the important factors in improving the human environment. They are one of the means to combat urban noise, enrich the atmosphere with oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, and actively release phytoncides into the air. Of particular interest are coniferous North American introducers. Currently, representatives of the Cypress family Cupressaceae Neger (Western thuja, Cossack juniper) are actively used in urban landscaping. These types and forms can be recommended for improving the microclimate of localities.
